Funds can be used in conjunction with Mountain Housing Opportunities' Down Payment Assistance, USDA Rural Development loans, and other programs for first-time homebuyers.
Program requirements include participation in these FREE services: credit counseling, homebuyer education, one-on-one coaching support, credit reports and scores, and tax preparation services.

The servers running Silent Night (PL #2) are laggy. Everyone gets lags, connection interrupted once a few seconds. The lag lasts from a fraction of second up to a few seconds in extreme cases.
IPs: "188.8.131.52:27042", "22.214.171.124:27041"
I can play for example on Frankfurt servers, but it's nice to have servers in Poland with even lower ping (when they work properly). So it's just to let you know id - you pay for servers in PL that are not worth any money.

Read: Anything Is Possible For Marc Staal
Earlier this week, Dan Girardi was asked by the Rangers website about his teammate Marc Staal.
Girardi said, "I think anything is possible for Marc this year. If he is playing well he will be leading the team back there."
In the Daily News, Staal said that he wanted to continue playing like he did during the playoffs when he was averaging 25:17 a night.
John Tortorella added that there was a time during the playoffs last tear when Staal started to look like the player he was before his concussion, "As he started to get his minutes, there was a time during the playoffs when he was really good. That is where I thought he made really good strides as a player, but we need more. He is still a young man and hopefully he can keep improving. He is a really good player and has room to keep on improving."

Dr. Demento Live in Portland, OR - January 2015
Once again, Dr. Demento will be appearing live on the Reed College campus. All events begin at 8 PM in the Vollum Lecture Hall, near the center of the campus in southeast Portland. Enter from Woodstock Blvd. Admission is $5 (free for Reed students, staff and alumni).
Thursday, January 22 - FROM JOE HILL TO MICHAEL BROWN: A CENTURY OF PROTEST SONG From the World War I years up to today, people protesting war, racism, economic inequality and other injustices have used songs to spread their message and rally the troops. We'll hear troubadours of the 1960s like Seeger, Dylan and Ochs, but also protest songs from many other times, from World War I to today, in a variety of genres from art song to punk.
Friday, January 23 - FROM RAGTIME TO RAP IN AN HOUR AND A QUARTER Along with hosting the Dr. Demento Show, Barry Hansen (Reed '63) has been an inveterate collector and student of many kinds of music since childhood. He will take us on a whirlwind trip through the hit sounds of the Jazz Age, the Swing Era, the rock revolution and the birth of hip-hop. He'll show how each movement led to the next, and the one great trend that unifies them all.
Saturday, January 24 - LIFE OF DEMENTO Dr. Demento retraces his life as a radio outlier, from his very first broadcasts at Reed's own KRRC to his continuing adventures in cyberspace. He'll talk about his on-air encounters with George Carlin, Frank Zappa, "Weird Al" Yankovic and many more, his days as a roadie and record producer in the 1960s, and his upcoming movie. Many audio and video examples. He will be happy to sign autographs and pose for pictures afterward.

Baseball Takes Series Opener from Red Wolves, 7-3
MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Creighton baseball continued to roll as the Bluejays took the series opener with Arkansas State, 7-3, on Saturday, March 8.
The win extended Creighton's undefeated streak to six games as the Bluejays sit at 5-4-1 on the season. Arkansas State, meanwhile, fell to 6-7 in 2014.
Creighton fell behind 1-0 in the first inning as the Red Wolves scored on a two-out RBI double. The Bluejays answered with a four-spot in the third as senior Cody Kottich opened the frame with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice. Heads up base running allowed Kottich to move to third on a wild pitch and he came in to score via an RBI infield single from senior Brad McKewon.
The Bluejays' first run only wet their appetite as freshman Nicky Lopez was hit by a pitch to put runners and first and second. Junior Jake Peter followed with a two-run double to deep right-center. Senior Mike Gerber continued the hit parade with an RBI single to make it 4-1.
Creighton added two runs in the top of the fourth on McKewon's second RBI single and scored its sixth run on an Arkansas State error.
Junior Kevin Lamb tacked on another Bluejay run in the fifth with an RBI ground out to drive home Gerber, pushing Creighton's lead to 7-1.
Arkansas State tallied two runs in the bottom of the fifth, but Creighton sophomore Matt Warren worked out of the inning to qualify for the win. The Bluejay starter moved to 3-0 on the season, limiting the Red Wolves to three runs on seven hits and two walk in five innings.
A trio of Bluejays relievers closed the door for Creighton as junior Max Ising (1.0 IP), sophomore John Oltman (1.0 IP) and senior Bryan Sova (2.0 IP) preserved the Bluejay win.
Offensively the Bluejays got two hits from both McKewon and Gerber to lead the way.
The Bluejays and Red Wolves continue their three-game series on Sunday, March 9 at 1 pm.

Two juveniles from Helper who have been missing since Nov. 29 were found by police in California on Monday night.
According to a press release from the Helper City Police Department, the two missing juveniles, Mattea Jeffs (08-16-1995) and Jesse Turner (04-03-1996) were located by the Los Angeles City Police Department in California.
Acting on a tip they received, the LAPD checked out an address of a home in Hollywood, Calif., at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Monday, the report said. There police discovered both Jeffs and Turner at the residence. Both were said to be in good condition.
The pair were taken into protective custody until arrangements can be made to return them to their families.
The Sun Advocate will post more about the story as it becomes available.

What travelers to Amsterdam are saying
Amazing Amsterdam
Let's play a game of numbers – 160 canals (more than Venice), 1281 bridges, 7000 historical buildings and more than 60 museums. Amsterdam's attractions are not so much attractions but part of the patterned fabric of its vibrant life.
For years, visitors flocked to Amsterdam's famed coffee shops to enjoy more than a cappuccino. Now, though, the Dutch government is moving to ban anyone except Dutch residents from marijuana-selling premises.
But while the city may look slightly more colourful after a spiffing afternoon, you've never needed to indulge to appreciate Amsterdam. From the cobbled streets of Jordaan and The Jewish Quarter to the Gothic architecture of Oude Kerk, the best way to experience the city is simply to immerse yourself in its quirky and vibrant culture.
Amsterdam is one of the brightest cities in Europe, and it's not just the gaudy neon signs of the Red Light District or the ubiquitous romantic candlelight of the canal dinner cruises that make this so. It's the buzz and throng of a city slightly left of centre that blaze Amsterdam's energy into your heart, leaving that little light flickering inside you long after you've left its shores.
Amsterdam's Top 10
10. Van Altena The best experiences are often the simplest. That is, if you call putting your face to the sky and swallowing one of these fresh, raw herrings 'simple'.
5. Beginjhof: Another narrow, vaulted passageway? Yes, but this one has a light at the end of the tunnel – a charming, quiet garden surrounded by some of Amsterdam's oldest houses (and ladies).
9. Madame Tussauds In a city where tacky tourist attractions are not what draw the crowds, Madame Tussauds is the exception.
4. Anne Frankhuis The emotional battering delivered by Anne Frank's wartime hideout is pretty intense, but the experience is unforgettable.
8. Heineken Experience There's really no way four levels of interactive beer experiences can be bad.
3. Van Gogh Museum This self-explanatory museum houses some 200 paintings, 550 sketches and hundreds of letters by the troubled visionary.
7. Albert Cuyp Market Amsterdam's most popular market, and second most popular sensory experience.
2. RijksmuseumIn a city with more than 60 museums, it's hard to choose a select few. Just make sure one of them is the Rijksmuseum – the largest in the Netherlands.
6. Red Light District Underneath the tacky fake glitter are some of Amsterdam's most attractive, um, buildings (and interesting museums!).
1. The Canals There's a difference between a tourist trap and something justifiably popular – this is the best way to see the canals and Golden Age merchants' houses.
Amsterdam History
- Old Church – More than 750 years old and the oldest remaining building in Amsterdam.
- New Church in Dam Square – A relative youngster at just 600 years old.
- Royal Palace – Previously City Hall, but upgraded in the early 19th century.
- Anne Frank House – An inspiring visit highlighting her remarkable story from World War II.
- Westerkerk Tower – Stands 85m tall and is the best place to get a view of the city.
Amsterdam Art & Culture
- Van Gogh Museum – Houses the largest collection of the great man's work.
- Rijksmuseum – An imposing building and is the recognized museum of the Netherlands.
- National Monument – A photo opportunity with several other structures of Amsterdam.
- Heineken Experience – Tour the huge brewery, with a few samples along the way.
- Rembrandt Square and Statue – Reminder of the feeling the Dutch have for the 19th-century artist.
Amsterdam Shopping
- Magna Plaza – A huge shopping mall right in the heart of the city.
- Nine Streets area – Full of diverse designer boutiques and set in a beautiful location.
- Pieter Cornelisz on Hoofstraat – The "5th Avenue" of Amsterdam, with luxury labels everywhere.
- Waterlooplein Square – The home of the city's largest flea market.
- Albert Cuyp Street Market – Amsterdam's most famous market, with many visitors each day.
Gay & Lesbian Amsterdam
- Reguliersdwarsstraat – Without a doubt, the centre of the gay scene in Amsterdam.
- Halvemaansteeg – A small street packed with gay bars, which is lively most nights of the week.
- Club Fuxxx and Club Roque – Hosting weekly and monthly gay dance parties.
- Club Church – Theme parties galore, be it fetish, leather or whatever takes your fancy.
- Amstel (near Rembrandtsplein) – Home to three lesbian bars all within a matter of minutes.
Amsterdam Outdoor
- Red Light District – No trip to Amsterdam would be complete without a walk around the district.
- Canal Tour – Either on a candle light cruise or by regular canal bus.
- Leidseplein – Explore this square full of street performers that can keep you entertained for hours.
- Vondelpark – The largest park in Amsterdam, which seems to be alive with activity all day long.
- Bike Tours – Take a bike ride alongside the canals and Amstel River to take in the tranquillity.
Amsterdam Sport
- Amsterdam Arena – Home to the mighty Ajax, a stadium with a 52,000-person capacity.
- Skates – Rent some skates or a skateboard and see the city on foot, only much quicker!
- Amsterdam Admirals – Competing to represent Europe in the NFL world bowl.
- Jaap Eden Ice Rink – Visit to watch some ice hockey.
- Bleekemolen Race Planet – Try go-karting at either of two exciting indoor tracks.
Amsterdam Local
For a city with few tourist attractions, Amsterdam is packed with tourists – and not just bong-hitting backpackers. Amsterdam's heart might be said to lie in The Dam, but it's the narrow streets of its smaller neighbourhoods that really give you a taste of the city. Here are five top locales to check out.De Wallen
A visit to Amsterdam's red-light district is not for everyone, particularly if you're a little too tempted by a photo op – shoot a storefront prostitute and you'll be doused in urine by her by-standing pimp. If you're satisfied with non-corporeal memories and stick to the busy streets, however, this is where you will find some of Amsterdam's prettiest canals and buildings. Among these is the Gothic church Oude Kerk, and The Spinhuis, where the City Fathers used to dispose of 'fallen women'. Less historic but still fascinating (how fascinating depends on your activities directly prior to attending) is the nearby Hemp Museum.The IJ Waterfront
Once you've figured out how to pronounce the name of this waterfront neighbourhood (yes, it really is spelt with two capitals – just say 'aye') head over for a range of interesting and mainly maritime attractions, including the Maritime Museum. A recent makeover has seen the disused docks replaced by cultural institutions and restaurants. Artificial islands such as Java-Eiland and KNSM-Eiland are among the areas seeing development, and are pretty cool ways to get a feel for the Amsterdam of the future.Jordaan
Originally a working-class neighbourhood, you'll be hard-pressed to find a working-class-priced bottle of Heineken here these days. The Jordaan is now one of the Netherlands' most upscale neighbourhoods, its narrow streets home to many art galleries and museums such as the Pianola Museum and the enticingly named –and presumably Jimi Hendrix-inspired – Electric Lady Land (which isn't as dodgy as it sounds). Rembrandt was buried in the Westerkerk church after spending the final years of his life in the Jordaan, and Anne Frank House is located on the neighbourhood's edge.The Dam
The Dam is not a gaudy slang term for Amsterdam itself, but the monumental main square built around 1200 on the Amstel River. Inside Dam Square is the limestone Nationaal Monument, dedicated in 1956 to honour the World War II dead. The site hosts a memorial ceremony on 4 May and serves as a hangout for teens the rest of the time. The heart of Amsterdam also houses The Royal Palace of Amsterdam, and the beautiful but deceptively named 15th-century Niuewe Kerk (New Church). And even the most retail-weary males will enjoy a trip to De Bijenkorf, the Netherlands' premiere department store.The Jewish Quarter
To some locals, Amsterdam is known as 'Mokum', from the Hebrew word for "Sacred Place". The area is still a centre of Jewish life and is a place of vibrancy, most evident in the famous Vlooienmarkt flea market. The Jewish Quarter also houses a few interesting museums, including Rembrandt's House and the Jewish Historical Museum, plus some of the most authentic Dutch food at Greetje. That's a little off the beaten track – but, hey, this isn't the red-light district!
Amsterdam Eat & Drink
Scossa You don't need smoke clouds to have a chilled out, relaxing experience.
Amsterdam Dinner Cruise Scenic canals and romantic candlelight do not an amazing dinner make. Just kidding, of course they do!
The Mansion This aptly named complex incorporates two ritzy Chinese restaurants and an upscale club.
Bridges If eating raw fish from a side-street stall isn't your cup of tea, splash out on the tuna tartare at Bridges – a raw deal you'll love.
La Rive Located in one of Amsterdam's most luxurious hotels (the Amstel), even the pickiest guests can't fault the food here.
Proeverij 274 The quintessential canal-side Amsterdam dining experience. Not exactly hidden, but a gem nonetheless.
Vertigo International cuisine based on seasonal and film influences. Sounds ridiculous, tastes amazing.
The Grand Amsterdam Sofitel Legend Modesty is clearly not an attribute of The Grand Amsterdam, but they're forgiven on account of the fare.
The Silver Mirror A gourmet restaurant within a crooked, crumbling old building – don't worry, it was designed to be on a lean.
De Kas Try a different kind of local green produce at De Kas, an upscale restaurant specialising in the freshest vegetables in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Events
The end of April marks Queen's Day – the world's biggest (and most orange) street party.
Horror, anime, cult and thrillers – April's Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival is one you don't have to pretend to get excited about.
June's Holland Festival includes conferences, workshops, plus more exciting things like music, theatre, dance and films.
Global music and non-Western culture take over Amsterdam for seven days in June, at the Amsterdam Roots Festival.
Hash brownies not doing it for you? Try Taste of Amsterdam at the end of June, where you can have a glass of wine and meet the city's top chefs.
The Kwakoe Festival in July is marked by 20 days of pure dancing, eating and everything else in between. Yes, 20 whole days.
Classical music gets a whole lot cooler at the informal Robeco Summer Concerts, held in summer each year.
August's Uitmarkt is considered to be the largest cultural event in Amsterdam. That's a pretty hefty tag.
September's Robodock Arts Festival is rough, industrial, experimental and smoky. It's can also involve a lot of heavy machinery.
The High Times Cannabis Cup in November is six days of pure hedonism. Hey, you're on holiday…
When To Go
If you can bear snow and bitterly cold temperatures, winter in Amsterdam allows you to skate the canals.
Spring and autumn are generally pleasant, though the weather can change frequently.
Summer temperatures rarely exceed 22°C (72°F) – although enjoyable weather means more crowded streets.
What To Avoid
Amsterdam is a pretty free-wheeling city, but if you want to go green, stick to the coffee houses.
30 minutes spent at the Holland Experience is 30 minutes you could have spent getting an actual Holland experience.
The red light district is a must-see, but be careful what you snap a picture of – unless you want your camera thrown in a canal.
Getting Around
Transport can actually be fun in Amsterdam – locals favour skates and pushbikes
Central Amsterdam is compact, so walking is often your best bet.
Ferries are good even if you don't have a particular destination in mind, offering scenic views of the many canals.
Amsterdam, North Holland, The Netherlands
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, and famous for its elegant architecture, canals, and night life - and also infamous for its nightlife and red light district. The city is located in North Holland and is the biggest city in the Netherlands, although the Dutch Parliament is located in The Hague. The city centre is the oldest part of Amsterdam and Dam Square is the focal point of activity and is where the canals, coffee shops and shops branch out from. Dutch people are well known for their laid back attitude to life - and Amsterdam has a reputation for tolerance, however things are changing with the government starting to take a stricter line on certain activities in the capital. Despite its 'louche' reputation, Amsterdam has plenty of attractions and activities to keep the family happy.
Anne Frank House has to be high on any itinerary during a trip to Amstersdam. Anne Frank was the Jewish girl who famously kept a diary whilst hiding in the back of the house, and the site is now a museum dedicated not only to her life of persecution but to other forms of discrimination.
The Rijksmuseum is home to an important collection of paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, including Rembrandt, Vermeer, Jan Steen and Frans Hals. Vermeer's 'The Milkmaid' and Rembrandt's 'Night Watch' are just two of the works displayed here.
The Van Gogh Museum features the largest collection of the 20th century impressionist's works including paintings and drawings. There are more than 200 paintings and 500 drawings by Van Gogh, and many of his contemporaries including Gauguin, Toulouse Lautrec and Monet. The museum is located to the South of Amsterdam, easily reached by tram.
The Vodka Museum Amsterdam is an interesting and unusual attraction located in a former townhouse close to the entrance to the city. Visitors can take a personal tour around the museum which is situated over three floors, in order to hear all about the history of vodka, how it is produced, and information about the various types of vodka there are. For visitors who have built up a thirst a free sample is provided at the end of the tour.
The Waag (Weigh) House is worth a look, dating back to 1488, when it helped to fortify the city. Later it became the main weigh house, and upstairs was taken over by the surgeons' guild who commissioned Rembrandt's 'Anatomy Lesson of Dr Tulip'. Public executions also took place here, and the building has also acted as a fire station and vault.
Madame Tussauds Amsterdam is a testament to who's who in Holland at any particular moment in time. Whether you love it or hate it the kids will enjoy viewing these incredibly realistic wax characters, some of whom talk - and at the start you will be introduced to some Dutch history. Like all Tussauds attractions the tickets are somewhat pricey, and it's highly recommended to book tickets ahead to miss the lengthy queues.
The Diamond Museum takes visitors through the history of Amsterdam's role in the diamond trade. A diamond factory tour is also available next door at Coster Diamonds, the company which owns the museum - where you can see diamond cutters working and learn the processes involved in producing the diamonds we wear.
The Rembrandt Museum contains over 250 of the master painter's etchings, as well as a fascinating collection of his possessions including weapons, military helmets and seashells! Tickets can be bought in advance.
More Info On Events
April 30 is Queensday, a national holiday in celebration of the Queen's birthday, when the entire city turns orange.

In May there is a modern art fair which takes place in the RAI Exhibition and Conference Centre.
In June the famous Holland Festival attracts world class performers in the area of opera, music, dance and theatre. In the same month 'A Taste of Amsterdam' showcases the cuisine of local chefs, and also, 'The Open Garden Days' allows visitors a glimpse behind the entrances to Amsterdam's canal houses, and canal boats are laid on to take you from one participating canal house garden to another.
July sees Amsterdam International Fashion Week which allows up and coming fashion designers to show off their designs.
Canal Pride takes place in August, one of Amsterdam's biggest festivals, with workshops, performances, plus a boat parade at the Prinsengracht which is highly recommended.
In October the Amsterdam Dance Event takes place, featuring electronic music, attracting fans of the house and techno scene. Not for the fainthearted this event involves four nights of hard partying.
Leisure And Recreation
A canal cruise is a must during a vacation in Amsterdam - and you can choose from a wide selection including the 'Lovers Canal Cruise' which starts opposite the Rijksmuseum, and an Amsterdam Jewel Cruise, an evening cruise which includes a three course meal. Even if you don't opt for a specialist cruise, make sure to take the Canal Bus which drops visitors at the main attractions. Or, if you are feeling particularly adventurous why not hire a Gondola or a two-seater canal bike.
There are 55 cinemas in Amsterdam so film buffs are well catered for, and for shopping facilities head for the main shopping streets which are located near Central Station. The most up market shopping area in Amsterdam is on P.C. Hoofstraat, close to the Rijksmuseum. Some fascinating antiquarian shops can be found on the streets branching off the main canals, including Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht and the Herengracht.
Amsterdam can be a rainy place to holiday in, being the 4th wettest place in Europe. Summer temperatures get as high, on average, as 21 o C during the day, and drop down to 11 o C to 13 o C in the night. July and August are the warmest months, and temps can get up to the 30s at times. Winters in Amsterdam rarely see temperatures dropping below freezing for sustained periods of time, with December to February averaging at around 5 o C.
Getting There And Around
Amsterdam's Schipol airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and it is situated 10 miles southwest of the city centre. There is a direct train service from Amsterdam Central Station to the airport which takes around 20 minutes, and there are around four or five trains an hour all day and throughout the night. Taxis are also available from the airport but are quite expensive, with a journey time of up to an hour depending on traffic.
Getting around Amsterdam is a breeze and the best way is by bike or on foot - most tourist attractions are less than a half an hour's walk from the central railway station. The city is extremely bike-friendly with most streets having bike lanes, and there are plenty of places to rent a bicycle.
Otherwise the tramway system is the main public transport in the city, and a metro which has a short underground section, or there is the option to hire a 'tuk tuk' which is a fairly economical way to get around the city.
Top 6 Free Things To Do
1. New Amsterdam Tours are guided tours of the city centre which are free, plus the Amsterdam Tourist Office run some free guided walking tours.
2. Amsterdam's Public Library is a great place to head for on a wet afternoon. Europe's biggest public library offers visitors international newspapers, free internet access, as well as a café which features spectacular panoramic views over the city.
3. NEMO Panorama Terrace is situated in the NEMO Science Museum - the terrace is located on the roof and visitors can sit on the deckchairs provided and enjoy the views over the Museum Haven and surroundings.
4. Vondelpark Open Air Theatre is free and visitors can watch performances and catch a concert here during the summer, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
5. The Rijksmuseum Garden features a fascinating collection of architecture and is free to the public when the museum is open.
6. Amsterdam Diamond Centre is home to shops full of sparkling jewels, and is as much of an attraction to tourists as the many museums and coffee shops. Located in the Jodenburt area, the centre is open from 10am until 6pm.
Money And Costs
Amsterdam uses the Euro as currency in denominations of up to 500 Euros - however many restaurants and shops will not accept notes as high as 500, and some reluctant to accept even 100 or 200 Euro notes.
As in many European cities it is optional to leave a tip in a restaurant in Amsterdam, but tips are always appreciated. Unless a service charge is included a 10-15% gratuity would be about the norm.
ATMs are widely available in the capital, which dispense up to 50 Euro notes. Money can be exchanged at banks with the 'GWK' Bank near Central Station having good exchange rates, plus this is open 24 hours. When using your credit card at the ATMs look out for any charges which may be applied.

2013 Lincoln MKT: Car Spy
If you can't tell oak from walnut or pine or fiberboard, admit it before you start buying furniture on Craigslist. If you're not sure if the 1970 Hot Wheels "Beach Bomb" is more valuable if the surfboards are mounted on the side or sticking out through the back window, don't fork over any money for either of them.
The more brutally honest you are with yourself, the less likely you are to be fooled by your own dreams and assumptions. After all, con men count on the greed of their marks.
Fully 47 states and the District of Columbia require that at least some motorcyclists and scooter pilots wear helmets. If you ride on two powered wheels, you're going to need a lid, and it might as well be a helmet that works.
The problem with Craigslist buys: There's no way to definitely know if a used helmet will work. Helmets are a one-use technology. A helmet's shell and padding are designed to destroy themselves in protecting the wearer's head in a collision. They aren't engineered to work twice. Even if a helmet looks fine after a collision, it should be replaced.
Even if a helmet hasn't been involved in a collision, its protective qualities deteriorate over time. "Glues, resins, and other materials used in helmet production can affect liner materials," the helmet industry's standard setter, the Snell Memorial Foundation, says its website. "Hair oils, body fluids, and cosmetics, as well as normal 'wear and tear,' all contribute to helmet degradation." Even if a helmet just sits on a shelf for a few years, simple exposure to the atmosphere could lead to some of the adhesives in the helmet deteriorating.
Beyond all that, a helmet works best when it fits properly. Getting a helmet that merely fits over your head isn't good enough. And even if a helmet looks fine, it may not be ready to withstand a second collision. And just because someone on Craigslist says the helmet is fine or even says that it's new, it doesn't mean that it is. And this can be literally a matter of life and death.
Helmets aren't cheap, but they're worth buying new.

The Eye
Drama, Horror, Suspense/Thriller
Sydney Wells is an accomplished, independent, Los Angeles-based concert violinist. She is also blind, and has been so since a childhood tragedy. Sydney's sight is restored when she undergoes a double corneal transplant, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have. After the surgery, neural ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner helps Sydney with the difficult adjustment, and with the support of her older sister Helen, Sydney learns to see again. But Sydney's happiness is short-lived as unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Are they a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something horrifyingly real? As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see.

Mara Zabari, Organizational Systems, PhD
Mara ZabariOrganizational Systems Student
One of the most dangerous things about health care is human error. A pharmacist picking up the wrong bottle or a doctor forgetting to wash her hands can lead to unnecessary complications – even death.
You don't have to imagine how many lives could be saved if such mistakes could be reduced – or how much less our health care system would cost. Saybrook student Mara Zabari is imagining it for you. A PhD candidate in Saybrook's Organizational Systems program, Mara is leading a project to reduce patient harm in hospitals in three states by 40 percent.
"Hand washing is a great example," she said. "It's one of the most basic things. We've known what works for a very long time, have great protocols in place for when doctors and nurses need to wash their hands … and people don't do it. The compliance rates have been abysmal. That's one of the things we're looking at: what in the culture, and the way people work together, is keeping hospital personnel from performing this basic step?"
Mara started her career as a nurse, but quickly moved into hospital leadership roles. "After three years of nursing I was becoming very disillusioned," she remembered. "I saw how difficult it was for my colleagues, who were very inspiring in their dedication to their jobs, and how many institutional barriers they had to overcome to do the work that the patients needed. I saw that it lead to burnout, and to cynicism, and to people leaving the field, and I think that's what really motivated me. That if I wanted to be part of the solution, I needed to put myself in a position where I could have more influence."
She completed a graduate degree in Healthcare Administration, and spent the following 15 years in a variety of leadership positions.
There came a point, she said, where going back again to graduate school would be necessary to support her desire to influence the needed changes in the healthcare system. But she wasn't ready yet.
"I stumbled upon Saybrook as I was looking for programs that were around Organizational Development from a systems perspective," she said. "I wasn't able to enroll at that point because I was putting two daughters through college, but five years ago when I wrote my last check for them I decided it was my turn."
Now the Director of Integration of the Partnership for Patients, a national initiative to reduce patient harm across the country launched by the Obama Administration, Mara says her work at Saybrook "has been instrumental to me having a more rigorous approach to understanding systems and applying it to my organizational work."
"Saybrook has not only exposed me to work that I've been able to apply in my career and move forward, but it has given me a vision of how I can position myself within my field to have the kind of influence I want," she said. "I don't believe I'd be in my job today if it wasn't for Saybrook. Mentoring from the faculty, and interactions with my fellow students really expanded my ideas of what was possible, and to let me bring the scholar piece to my practice. Now I'm working at the state level, and connecting with people all across the country who are doing research on this area of patient safety."

Many doctors and patients were surprised last November when two major medical groups upended one central element of the traditional approach to warding off heart disease. With the release of new guidelines, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology shifted away from the prior focus on "bad cholesterol"—and proposed changes to the way doctors prescribe statins, the highly successful cholesterol-fighting medications.
The guidelines recommend a more holistic approach, but some critics said they could greatly increase the number of patients taking statin medication. Now that the dust from the ensuing brouhaha has begun to settle, what should patients expect when they visit the doctor?
For more than 20 years, doctors have been telling patients that to lower their risk for heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease, they must reduce their levels of LDL, known as "bad cholesterol," to less than 100 milligrams per deciliter or even, in some cases, less than 70. To that end, among people age 50 to 64, about 30% of men and 22% of women currently have prescriptions for cholesterol-fighting drugs.
In what some experts have described as a tectonic shift, the two medical groups now advocate a broader approach that looks at overall risk, including factors such as race and lifestyle. The guideline authors said that after an extensive, yearslong review of the literature, they found little scientific evidence to support LDL target levels.
That conclusion unsettled some patients and doctors who had long relied on those targets. "The new guidelines take away one of the anchors patients have used, which is, 'if I get my LDL numbers to the target, I'm in the clear,'" said Dr. Larry Gassner, a doctor of internal medicine in Phoenix who is affiliated with MDVIP, a network of physicians that's a unit of Procter & Gamble PG, -0.30% . "The new guidelines say cholesterol is very important, but it is only a piece of the puzzle."
Controversy over the new guidelines has complicated this puzzle, with some critics saying the medical community should hold off on implementing the recommendations. The guidelines' authors, meanwhile, say some of their positions have been misunderstood.
Pharmaceutical companies also have interests at stake in the new guidelines. Some may stand to benefit if the drugs are more widely prescribed, though analysts note that much of the statin market is dominated by generic drugs whose profit margins are relatively low. Among top-selling statins, Crestor, made by AstraZeneca PLC AZN, -2.58% , is still under patent protection; Lipitor, made by Pfizer Inc. PFE, -0.72% , and Zocor, made by Merck & Co. MRK, -2.45% , are not. For more, see Statin usefulness questioned, but patent expirations may ease pain.
Redefining who's at risk
Part of the controversy centers on a new risk calculator that gauges patients' likelihood of developing heart disease or stroke within 10 years. Some say that the calculator over-represents many people's risk and could lead to people taking statins unnecessarily, or taking a higher dose than needed.
Cost is rarely an impediment to statin use these days, as most statins are available in cheap, generic form. Indeed, many experts see statins as a very cost-effective way of warding off much more dangerous—and expensive—health complications.
At the same time, "these are potent medications—getting it right is critical," said Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who has advocated suspending the implementation of the new guidelines to allow for more discussion. Statins have been shown to have some side effects in certain patients, such as muscle pain, and—more rarely and seriously—contributing to the development of Type 2 diabetes.
Despite their disagreement, both sides agree on some basics. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is still considered "bad" cholesterol. It forms a fatty plaque that can clog the arteries, contributing to heart disease. No one disputes that heart disease is a major problem, the leading cause of death for both men and women in this country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And few physicians would argue that preventing heart disease, in part through a healthy, tobacco-free lifestyle, is preferable to treating the condition once it has developed.
The new guidelines recommend statins for four groups, many of whom would already be given the medication under the prior recommendations. These include: those with diabetes who are between ages 40 and 75; people who already have heart disease; and people with primary LDL elevations of 190 milligrams per deciliter or more. (Such primary elevations are usually due to genetics rather than to other conditions that can increase LDL numbers, such as hypothyroidism.)
Under the new guidelines, some in these groups might see their statin dosage increased, if their bodies can tolerate it, to get the optimal benefit, said Dr. Neil Stone, Bonow professor of medicine-cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, who chaired the writing committee for the new guidelines.
The gray area lies largely with those in a fourth category: patients between ages 40 and 75 without cardiovascular disease or diabetes who score a 7.5% or above on the new risk calculator. Some critics say that 7.5% risk of developing heart disease or stroke within 10 years is a low threshold for statin use. (African-Americans and women are more likely than other groups to have a stroke before a heart attack, Stone said.) "It's a significant lowering" of the prior standard, Nissen said, and might capture some who wouldn't be best served by taking statins.

NEWS: Michael Sauer Has A Concussion
John Tortorella tells Andrew Gross that Michael Sauer suffered a concussion as a result of Dion Phaneuf's hit on Monday night.
He is day to day
Well that isn't good news. It doesn't mean he is out for an extended amount of time like Marc Staal has been, but the Rangers are likely to be without Sauer for a little while.
What does this mean for the defense? Well, I think you need to consider splitting up Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh to give more support to Michael Del Zotto and Steve Eminger. Anton Stralman will get some time paired with Jeff Woywitka it seems like, but it will be interesting to see how much ice time they end up getting.

Holiday Season May Increase Bad BreathMonday, November 22nd, 2010
With the passing of Halloween, the holiday season is now in full swing. Hanukah, Christmas and New Year's will be here before we know it. This means celebrating and consuming large, delicious meals with family and friends. Along with food comas, bad breath may also be a side effect of these wonderful meat-filled and sugar-packed festivities.
Cavities from nibbling on the left over Halloween candy or the goodies around the office also spike around this time. Dentists report a sharp increase in the number of cavities they treat. A few pieces of candy every now and then won't do any harm, but it is vital to maintain healthy oral hygiene, especially during this time of year.
Many of us use the holiday season as an excuse to pig out on proteins and rich, sugary desserts. (more…)

Hey! Still looking for someone to play with?
patience Thomas said:Hello, my name is Patience and I am a definite beginner who wants to learn tennis and wondring is anyone out there willing to teach the newcomer? If so, please contact me,
Hello all,
Moved out here from SF about a year ago and my tennis has suffered due to neglect. I'm 3.5 on the USTA rankings, but I'll hit with anyone under 4.5. I'm scrappy and fun to play with as I chase down most everything. Bit more of a defensive player, so I like long, quality rallies.
Anyone that can get the ball over the net is someone I want to play with.
Currently in the Upper West Side but I'll be moving next to Prospect Park in June but I'm willing to travel all over the city to play.

Comments about Patagonia Shelled Synchilla Jacket (Men's):
I wear it to work everyday, and on weekends. Great for weather around 20 degrees and up. However, i did have some problems with the fleece bunching up when wearing it over long sleeves. A simple grab of the sleeves before putting it on solves this problem. Overall great product at a great price. Will update review if any problems occur. So far, 2 months in, I can't complain.

GOUVERNEUR Members of New York State Nurses Association and their supporters picketed E.J. Noble Hospital on Monday, asking for more information from the hospital about its dissolution plan and how it will affect them.
Under the plan, E.J. Noble would dissolve and its assets would be sold to a new entity, Gouverneur Hospital. Gouverneur Hospital would fall under the umbrella along with Canton-Potsdam Hospital of another new organization, St. Lawrence Health System. Canton-Potsdam Hospital has a management agreement with E.J. Noble.
The plan would include the elimination of all of E.J. Nobles contracts, including those with the unionized nurses and Service Employees International Union Local 1199.
All employees interested in working at Gouverneur Hospital would have to apply for the jobs they had with E.J. Noble.
I would like for all of us to be kept on, with all of our seniority, said Carrie A. Foster, vice chairwoman of the local bargaining unit of NYSNA. There are so many unanswered questions. They expect and hope we would keep the same services, but they dont know.
Local 1199 had a separate informational rally in the village park.
NYSNAs contract with E.J. Noble is expired while Local 1199 has a contract with the hospital until April, which does not allow it to picket without a 10-day notice.
Our members are not happy. Theyre upset, Local 1199 Vice President Kathy M. Tucker said. Theyre poor enough as it is. I want them not to have people reapply for their jobs.
Ms. Tucker said E.J. Nobles planned dissolution does not preclude the plan from keeping its employees certain about their status.
My feeling is were going to fight as hard as we can so that people dont have to reapply for their own jobs, she said. Its just mean. It makes no sense whatsoever. They ought to be spending their money on the workers. Shame on them.
Ms. Tucker scoffed at Canton-Potsdam Hospital Administrator David B. Ackers earlier statement that the dissolution plan was not a way to achieve a non-union workforce.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..., Ms. Tucker said.
The goal is to have the unions recognized, said Annie M. Rutsky, labor relations representative with NYSNA.
NYSNAs contract with E.J. Noble expired in December. It had two contract extensions, the last of which expired July 31, Ms. Rutsky said.
There was so much turmoil it didnt make a lot of sense to negotiate, she said.
The contract had a successor clause that called for a new buyer to accept all its employees, but there is uncertainty over whether that would apply if E.J. Noble were to shut down first and then sell its assets to itself as Gouverneur Hospital.
Although contributions made to employees pension plans are secure, there is no certainty E.J. Nobles successor will continue to offer a plan under which it makes contributions, Ms. Tucker said.
Rebecca J. Faber, spokeswoman for both Canton-Potsdam Hospital and E.J. Noble, did not return a call.
Nurses want to continue to work at the hospital so they can take care of the people they know, Ms. Rutsky said.
They began circulation Monday of a community petition to the E.J. Noble board to reconsider terminating employees.
While we recognize the need to reorganize the hospital so it will become financially viable, we see no reason to fire all of its dedicated employees, the petition reads in part. Those employees are members of our community and definitely do not deserve to be treated this way. Not guaranteeing current, long term dedicated employees their jobs will diminish the quality of care that our hospital is able to provide.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, who came to support the community, said she was concerned about the ongoing instability at the hospital.
Id really like for the hospital to work with the employees in a more open fashion, she said. I think there needs to be a lot more information going back and forth.
Questions from the unions reflect the concerns of the community, and the hospital needs to explain how dissolution will make it more sustainable, Mrs. Russell said.
It would be helpful if there was a lot more dialogue, she said.
Requiring E.J. Noble employees to apply for jobs with Gouverneur Hospital is insulting, said Gregory P. Hart, the regional director of the Workforce Development Institute.
Its kind of a slap in their face, all the years of commitment theyve given, he said.
The Workforce Development Institute wants to help, such as with long-term employees who might need help brushing up on their resume skills.
We want to bring some resources here, he said.
About two dozen pickets marched in front of the hospital. A similar number was in the park for the Local 1199 rally, Ms. Tucker said.
Some nurses carried cardboard tubes made to look like a roll of Life Savers, the candy that Edward John Noble the businessman and benefactor for whom the hospital was named made famous.
What would E.J. Noble think? read the sign on one of the Life Savers.

(a) The Attorney General may prescribe only such rules and regulations as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter, including—
(1) regulations providing that a person licensed under this chapter, when dealing with another person so licensed, shall provide such other licensed person a certified copy of this license;
(2) regulations providing for the issuance, at a reasonable cost, to a person licensed under this chapter, of certified copies of his license for use as provided under regulations issued under paragraph (1) of this subsection; and

(c) The Attorney General shall not prescribe rules or regulations that require purchasers of black powder under the exemption provided in section 845 (a)(5) of this title to complete affidavits or forms attesting to that exemption.
