Ike Davis to Evan Roberts about Pujols
Ike does have a rocket arm… just saying.
Actually, I always thought it would be interesting to have a position player come in from first base, or right field, for instance, pitch to a batter, then go back to his position.

Patrick Swayze
Mario Anzuoni/Reuters
Patrick Swayze, the balletically athletic actor who rose to stardom in the films "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" and whose 20-month battle with advanced pancreatic cancer drew wide attention, died on Sept. 14, 2009. He was 57.
Patrick Wayne Swayze was born on Aug. 18, 1952, in Houston, the son of Jesse Wayne Swayze, an engineer and rodeo cowboy, and Patsy Swayze, a dance instructor and choreographer. He began dancing as a child and was often teased about it. But he was also a student athlete, and his dancing career was hampered by a football injury.
His first notable film was "The Outsiders" (1983), a drama about teenage gangs that starred other newcomers including Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon and Emilio Estevez.
Mr. Swayze rose to stardom in 1987 when the coming-of-age film "Dirty Dancing" established him as a romantic leading man. He starred opposite Jennifer Grey as a young working-class dance instructor at a Catskills resort who proved to have more heart, integrity and sex appeal than many of the wealthy guests with whom he was forbidden to fraternize.
He exhibited similar emotional intensity in the supernatural romance "Ghost" (1990), an enormous box-office hit. His character, a loft-living yuppie banker, is murdered early in the film and spends the rest of it as a spirit, desperately trying to communicate with his fiancée (Demi Moore) with the help of a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg). The film, which also showcased his physical grace, solidified his stardom.
Mr. Swayze's cancer was diagnosed in January 2008. Six months later he had already outlived his prognosis and was filmed at an airport, smiling at photographers and calling himself, only half-facetiously, "a miracle dude."
He even went through with plans to star in "The Beast," a drama series for the A&E network. He filmed a complete season while undergoing treatment. Mr. Swayze insisted on continuing with the series. "How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man?" he told The New York Times in October 2008. "You go to work."

Supporting Community-Based Action Programs
Plan EJ 2014
- Plan EJ 2014 Home
- Read Plan EJ 2014 (PDF) (189 pp, 2.32MB, About PDF)
Cross-Agency Focus Areas
- EJ in Rulemaking
- EJ in Permitting
- Compliance & Enforcement
- Community-Based Action
- Administration-Wide Action
Tools Development
To strengthen community-based programs to engage overburdened communities and build partnerships that promote healthy, sustainable, and green communities.
Read the implementation plan on community-based action (PDF) (18 pp, 810K, About PDF).
The Agency has learned that communities must be the driver for local solutions. However, far too many communities lack the capacity to truly change environmental conditions for the better. As a result, many low-income, minority, tribal, and indigenous communities in the United States live near areas affected by some of the nation's worst pollution.
EPA has implemented programs to support community empowerment and provide benefits ranging from basic educational and leadership development to comprehensive approaches. These programs include:
- Financial assistance programs: Environmental Justice, Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE), Brownfields Area-Wide Planning, Lead, and Tribal grants
- Community-based programs: Local Climate and Energy, Childhood Asthma, Sustainable Communities and Smart Growth, Urban Waters, Superfund, and Brownfields
Plan EJ 2014 builds upon EPA's efforts to improve the effectiveness of community-based programs through better information access, coordination, and leveraging to support community empowerment. In these activities, EPA also builds upon its expertise in implementing community-based programs. With this approach, Plan EJ 2014 will help communities achieve environmental, health, and economic improvements.
- Advance environmental justice principles by building strong state and tribal partnerships through the National Environmental Performance Partnership System and National Program Manager guidance.
- Identify scalable and replicable elements of successful Agency community-based programs and align multiple EPA programs to address the needs of overburdened communities.
- Promote an integrated One EPA presence to engage communities in the Agency's work to protect human health and the environment.
- Foster community-based programs modeled on CARE principles.
- Explore how EPA funding, policies and programs can inform or help decision-makers to maximize benefits and minimize adverse impacts from land use decision-making, planning and siting.
- Promote equitable development opportunities for all communities.

Trey Cider caught this tiger trout at Scofield last fall.
The trout limit at Scofield changed this year. But one wouldn't know it if they saw the number of trout some anglers are trying to keep.
"If the anglers who are doing this understood the damage they're doing to the fishery by not obeying the limit, I think they'd start obeying it," says Brent Stettler, region outreach manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
The new limit at Scofield allows an angler to keep a total of four trout. But a fisherman may have only two cutthroat or tiger trout under 15 inches long within the four-trout limit. And the four-trout limit may not include more than one cutthroat or tiger trout over 22 inches long.
All cutthroat and tiger trout between 15 and 22 inches long must be released immediately.
The Utah Wildlife Board approved the new limit to keep plenty of tiger trout and Bear Lake cutthroat trout in the reservoir. Both of these fish, especially the Bear Lake cutthroats, are effective chub eaters.
And that's what Scofield needs right now â fish that can keep an exploding Utah chub population in check.
Stettler says during spring gill net surveys in 2006, DWR biologists found an average of two chubs in each net they pulled in. The next year, that number rose to 26 chubs per net. In 2008, the number jumped to 205 chubs per net.
If the chub population keeps growing, the trout population in the reservoir could be affected dramatically.
"The problem with chubs stems from anglers who use live minnows as bait," Stettler says. "Some escape the hook. Others are dumped into the water at the end of the day. Over time, the minnows reproduce. The result is a reservoir full of unwanted fish."
Stettler reminds anglers that anyone who moves fish from one water to another is guilty of a class A misdemeanor. And anyone who fishes with live minnows is also guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
"The reason (for the heavy penalty) is that it costs millions of dollars to treat and restock a reservoir," Stettler says. "Even after the reservoir has been treated, restrictive regulations have to be imposed to protect the reservoir from a resurgence of unwanted fish."
DWR Lieutenant Carl Gramlich identifies another issue worth mentioning.
"More and more anglers are collecting eggs from trout [to use as bait]," he says. "Many of these eggs are later returned to the water.
"The 2009 Utah Fishing Guidebook states that eggs may not be taken or used from fish that are then released. Eggs may be stripped only from trout that are kept and counted as part of your daily bag limit."
DWR biologists are already collecting ideas for possible fishing regulation changes for 2010.

Jalen Rose Leadership Academy is managed by American Promise Schools – a division of New Urban Learning.
Respect and Honor– All relationships begin with respect. Administrators and teachers, teachers and students, students and families, and all relationships therein practice the value of respect. From the beginning, through the middle, and to the end, respect is the foundation for discipline and learning.
Discipline– Discipline is a foundational element in the process of teaching and learning. Order must be implanted before students can learn. The hallways, classrooms, auditoriums, and all school space will have ordered expectations and follow through before, during, and after school whether classes are in session or not. All teachers and administrators will work as one team positively employing the Student Code of Conduct with its Discipline Code and Dress Code.
Joy in Learning– The mission is not easy. The hours are long. The dedication is immense. The more joy we experience in the classrooms and auditoriums as students accumulated and develop content, skill, and will, the less laborious and daunting the mission is.
Hard Work, Will, Persistence, Grit, Diligence, Determination– As Malcolm Gradwell's Outliers argues, the equation for success is as simple as combining opportunity and hard work. At JRLA, students will be given the opportunity to succeed. The school will have some of the best systems and teachers in the country. JRLA will pave the path for students to succeed. Students simply need the will to stand up and walk the path, the persistence to stand up when they fall down, the grit to walk again when they are broken, and the diligence to always go forward.
Problems Have Solutions– In the mission of graduating from college, barriers, obstacles, and set-backs are as common as the rising sun. The key difference between higher performing schools, adults, and students, is the ability to find solutions to the problems that ceaselessly enter our every day.
Family and Team– In order for the school and individuals to meet our mission, we must all work together and support each other. Our mission is not easy; however, it is worth it and can only be manifested through all adults and students positively supporting each other towards our goals and mission.
Lifelong Learning– An apocryphal quote of Confucius is, "It takes 10 years to cultivate a tree. It takes a lifetime to cultivate a person." Although the source of the quote is dubious, we believe that all people at JRLA, staff and student alike, need to ceaselessly cultivate themselves to continue to discover the beauty and magnificence that lives within us all.
Leadership– Students enter as learners at JRLA. They learn first to follow positively. Soon, they learn to lead positively. They leave JRLA as leaders bound and determined to finish his or her mission.
Curiosity for the Investigation of Things– There is amazement and beauty in all subjects and exercises. It is the pursuit of a JRLA scholar is to have a steadfast diligent mind that is able to unlock the mysteries and wonderment within any of these topics.
Mission Oriented– The mission is not easy. It takes sacrifice, failure, and diligence. However, the journey and goal are worth it. To stand after setback and to continue after heartbreak, one must be on a mission to complete the mission.
The educational program that American Promise Schools brings to the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy in Fall 2013 borrows best practices from both the Noble Network of Charter Schools and University Prep schools, both of which have strong track records in graduating college ready students and sending students to both two and four-year colleges.
The core components of the program that American Promise Schools will implement at Jalen Rose Leadership Academy include a school culture of college expectation, hard work, a set of classroom behaviors and discipline system that support student academic engagement, rigorous classroom learning, and orientations to ensure all staff, parents, and students are on the same page with high expectations and accountability.
The non-negotiable elements of our education plan:
College or other post-secondary studies as the only acceptable student outcome
Sufficient rigor in curriculum and teaching that lifts students up to the ACT College Readiness Standards by the time they graduate
A commitment by all adults to "do whatever it takes" to ensure that every student succeeds
A "no excuses" commitment by school leaders and teachers for every student's success regardless of the social, economic, physical or emotional burdens a child brings to school. There will be children who have been victimized, but there can be no victims.
The provision of a safe, orderly, clean, and attractive school setting in which deep learning can take place free of physical fear or bullying
American Promise Schools will bring to Jalen Rose Leadership Academy an education program constructed on five principal pillars—an Advisory system to support students from matriculation to promotion and graduation, a high-expectation school culture with extended school day and year, a rigorous college-readiness curriculum and exposure of students to college and professional life, and the recruitment and development of highly effective teachers.
The Educational Program of JRLA is aligned to the University of Chicago's Urban Education Institute's "Teaching adolescents to become learners: The role of non-cognitive factors in shaping school performance." The University of Chicago's five categories of non-cognitive factors in shaping school performance are Academic Behaviors, Academic Perseverance, Academic Mindsets, Learning Strategies, and Social Skills.
The Learning Environment– Instruction is classroom based. White boards serve to announce the day's learning objective, what students should be able to do at the end of the class, the start of class "do now" work, and assigned homework. Classes are 70 minutes in duration.
In addition, all students at the school will be expected to take an Advanced Placement (AP) class. After the initial transition year, AP classes will first be offered to honors students during sophomore year in AP U.S. History. During junior year, students will be selected to take AP World History. All seniors will be expected to take at least one AP class. Seniors who have never taken an AP class can choose from the previous offerings. In addition, seniors will be able to take AP Calculus, AP Biology, and AP Language and Literature.
As for the other end of the spectrum, the leaders of this high school good to great project for New Urban Learning have had great success in both Detroit and Chicago in preventing low-income children of color from dropping out of school. More than 90% of their entering students graduate high school and go on to college.
The Michigan high school graduation requirements are designed to prepare students for college or other post-secondary studies if satisfactorily completed. Our school will, of course, meet these course requirements. Our use of the ACT College Readiness Standards to determine mastery of a subject at each grade level ensures that course passing is tied to high standards that are embedded in the Michigan Merit Exam and are used by colleges for admission and financial aid.
JRLA will offer more than the basic curriculum mandated for high school graduation by the state of Michigan: four years of English, four years of mathematics, three years of social studies, four years of science, two years of foreign language, four years of physical education and fitness, one year of art, and one credit of an on-line course.
Promotion policies and exit standards and exceed the minimum requirements and stress the importance of a well-rounded education. In addition to the state of Michigan course and credit requirements, students will be required to complete the following to graduate: passage of at least one Advanced Placement course; four years of health and fitness courses and passage of written health and physical fitness test at each grade level; acceptance to at least two colleges; forty hours of community service; and 1.5 credits (150 hours) in enrichment courses, including before and after school courses or summer courses.
Jalen Rose Leadership Academy is not for everyone. Only students who are willing to study hard and are serious about going to college should apply.

TURIN For 17 years, Frances T. Gaylord has received recipe requests from former patrons of Pioneer Lodge. It was there that her home-cooked meals launched what was once solely a bed and breakfast into a popular dining destination.
People wanted me to write a cookbook. I had always had the idea I would write one, Mrs. Gaylord said. I knew what I wanted to do, just didnt know how to.
In January, after years of talking about it, the cookbook began to take shape with the help of her grandchildren, Megan J. and Dean P. Gaylord.
Its been her dream forever, Ms. Gaylord said. She recalled a rainy day in January when they were just sitting around.
I was thinking we needed to find something adventurous to do, she said. Her brother, Dean, said it was at that moment they decided, Lets get it done.
I didnt have a choice, Mrs. Gaylord said, noting that her grandchildren were going to make it happen.
The compilation of the book, Pioneer Secrets, was smooth. Mrs. Gaylord said she had no difficulty in deciding which recipes to include, though some existed only in her head. She relayed those recipes to her grandchildren, who did all of the typing.
The only difficult part, according to the Gaylords, was finding the correct wording for the narrative section of the book.
Color photos were taken of certain food items and used to adorn the dividers in the finished project, a hardcover, binder-style 128-page book containing 234 recipes.
The contents cover all categories, from breakfasts, soups, salads, main dishes, vegetables and side dishes to breads and desserts. Mrs. Gaylord described the collection as Country food, wholesome with no preservatives, noting, theres nothing gourmet in there.
She said her cooking style comes from being raised on a farm, but she admitted a lot of research and additional learning when operating the lodge. Instead of taking a novel to bed, I took cookbooks, she said.
The Pioneer Lodge became a dining hot spot in the 1980s. About 20 years ago, her daughter-in-law took over operations, closing the location three years ago. That has not stopped people from requesting recipes.
The first run has almost sold out, with only 60 copies still available. With the speed theyve been selling, its likely the Gaylords will be ordering more soon.
We sold five before they were even printed, Mrs. Gaylord said.
The book sells for $20 and is available at the Turin Village Library or by calling Mrs. Gaylord at 348-5240.

19 U.S. Code § 1360 - Investigation before trade negotiations
(a) Report by International Trade Commission
Before entering into negotiations concerning any proposed foreign trade agreement under section 1351 of this title, the President shall furnish the United States International Trade Commission (hereinafter in sections 1352 (a), (c), 1354, and 1360 to 1367 of this title, and section 624 (b) of title 7, referred to as the "Commission") with a list of all articles imported into the United States to be considered for possible modification of duties and other import restrictions, imposition of additional import restrictions, or continuance of existing customs or excise treatment. Upon receipt of such list the Commission shall make an investigation and report to the President the findings of the Commission with respect to each such article as to
(1) the limit to which such modification, imposition, or continuance may be extended in order to carry out the purpose of said section without causing or threatening serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles; and
(2) if increases in duties or additional import restrictions are required to avoid serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles the minimum increases in duties or additional import restrictions required. Such report shall be made by the Commission to the President not later than six months after the receipt of such list by the Commission. No such foreign trade agreement shall be entered into until the Commission has made its report to the President or until the expiration of the six-month period.
(b) Procedures and determinations
(1) In the course of any investigation pursuant to this section the Commission shall hold hearings and give reasonable public notice thereof, and shall afford reasonable opportunity for parties interested to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard at such hearings. If in the course of any such investigation the Commission shall find with respect to any article on the list upon which a tariff concession has been granted that an increase in duty or additional import restriction is required to avoid serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles, the Commission shall promptly institute an investigation with respect to that article pursuant to section 1364 of this title.
(2) In each such investigation the Commission shall, to the extent practicable and without excluding other factors, ascertain for the last calendar year preceding the investigation the average invoice price on a country-of-origin basis (converted into currency of the United States in accordance with the provisions of section 5151 of title 31) at which the foreign article was sold for export to the United States, and the average prices at which the like or directly competitive domestic articles were sold at wholesale in the principal markets of the United States. The Commission shall also, to the extent practicable, estimate for each article on the list the maximum increase in annual imports which may occur without causing serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles. The Commission shall request the executive departments and agencies for information in their possession concerning prices and other economic data from the principal supplier foreign country of each such article.

These are veggies that are dead easy to grow and thrive in our climate, so much so that many will provide you with food year-round.
You won't need expensive nursery seedlings or special training, just seeds. These plants are virtually foolproof.
When you are looking for the healthiest vegetables, look for vibrant colours that are indicators of the greatest nutritional content. Deep greens, reds and oranges scream nutrients.
Beets — Following the bright-colours-equal-nutrient-impact rule, beets are a friend indeed. Phytonu-trients, carotenoids and antioxidant pigments such as betanin abound in beets. Baby beet tops are great in salad, while mature leaves are good pot greens. The roots are sweet and earthy, boiled, baked and pickled. Beets grow in any soil under all conditions. Sow about 10 seeds a month from May 1 to Aug. 1 and you'll have either tops or bottoms for at least seven months of the year.

Idzik Q&A with Shutdown Corner's Doug Farrar
While Bassett was out in Los Angeles for the Blogs With Balls conference and the Collegiate Bowl, he was able to talk to Doug Farrar, the editor of Yahoo's Shutdown Corner blog. Doug covers the Seahawks pretty closely and was able to give Bassett some insight into what he brings to the table.
Based on what you know about the way the Jets and the Seahawks run their organizations, what is the single best principal/theme/etc Idzik will bring with him to New York?
The primary meme in Seattle is "Always Compete," and that comes from the top in head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider. Carroll will not give anyone a roster spot or a starting spot who can't earn it — witness his move before the season to name Russell Wilson his starting quarterback over Matt Flynn as a perfect example — and that extends to and through the entire organization. Idzik, therefore, thrived in a very competitive environment in which every person's performance is judged and audited in a positive but unsparing fashion. As a result, Idzik has seen the positive effects of a culture in which everyone on the field, and in the front office — earns his or her position every day. That's an important thought process for a Jets team that has seen a few too many guys get roster and starting spots when those spots don't seem to make a lot of sense.
The folks who work in administration tend to be more behind the scenes and get less glory than a head of college scouting … what do you hear about Idzik and his strengths / weaknesses?
His best strength — and the one the Jets will need the most as they look to revamp a team while in "Cap Hell" is that he understands player value. He's also learned how important it is for a head coach and GM to work hand in glove, as Carroll and Schneider do. No point in getting a speed receiver who can't block when you need your receivers to man up in run support. No point in getting a big fatty when you're short a couple of three-techs. Idzik knows how personnel runs successfully from top to bottom.
His biggest weakness might be that while he does have some scouting experience, he doesn't have a long-standing specific personnel background in the NFL, and as much as he gets the salary cap and the CBA, this is not a league that warms up to guys who need time to get it right. I wouldn't be surprised to see him arm himself with a very strong personnel staff to fill in any gaps. He does have a coaching and scouting background to a degree, which will help him when he steps out of the boardroom.
Idzik is rumored to keep up on his college scouting some for John Schneider … are there any players (college or even pro) that you've heard tales on that Idzik was an important influence in terms of bringing into the organization?
Not specifically that I know of. To date, I know Idzik to be more of a behind-the-scenes player.
Do you know much about his personality? Is he the type of GM who can stand up to an overly enthusiastic Rex Ryan?
From what I know, he's a good integrator and a good consensus thinker. What will happen when he goes up against strong voices with some very controversial decisions that need to be made on that team remains to be seen. I'm still pretty concerned about Woody Johnson's recent statements about how he's a "football guy." As we've seen in Dallas over the last two decades, a strong-willed owner can run off some pretty impressive football minds. If Idzik is given the control he needs to drop the hammer when he needs to, I think he's capable of that. If he's asked to "facilitate" while Rex and Woody run roughshod, I don't know any GM who can overcome that. He'll need to be given his own voice and his own power structure.
Who are his "guys" or "guy" we can expect him to import?
Not sure about this.
Our thanks to Doug, who we're going to try and persuade to come on the TJB podcast to talk about this in more detail. You can read more from Doug at Shutdown Corner or by following him on twitter.

Every person that is reading this has in the past or will continue in the future to receive phone calls with a foreign person speaking in a broken American dialect. They have or will be trying to sell something.
I say hang up on them. Do not talk to them. This is the reason Americans are losing their jobs; either these people are in foreign lands or are illegal aliens in this country.
When the companies that employ them come to the conclusion and realize that these employees are not making sales they will fire them and put American citizens back to work.
Let's smarten up and start filling these jobs with American citizens.
Oh, and just before you hang up on these people state clearly, "I will only order from those persons who speak the good old American language without a dialect."
The companies will know about your feelings because all these calls are monitored and recorded.

|Homicide Investigation in ASU Alum Death
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 10 October 2012 06:05
Boston authorities are investigating what appears to be a homicide as the body of a 23-year-old ASU alum, a native of Charlotte, was found yesterday after a massive search there. Jon Dailey disappeared from his Boston apartment last week, last seen by his roommate Oct. 2 at his apartment.
He was heard leaving the apartment around 9 p.m. that night, but his motorcycle was still at the apartment and he did not show up for work Friday at American Apparel in Cambridge, according to police. The body was found yesterday, but investigators have not released how he died, but sources say Dailey's body was tied to a cinder block and weighed down. Dailey's aunt, Bonita Absher, told WSOC-TV that "He had just the clothes on his back," and that "He didn't have ID with him. We think he may have had $100, but it was like he was casually going out at 8:30 in the evening to get some coffee." Daily was in Boston studying architecture.

MASSENA A piece of equipment at the Alcoa West Plant caught fire early Wednesday evening, but damage was limited and there were no injuries, according to Alcoa officials.
Damage has been limited to that one piece of equipment. There is no structural damage, and they are checking now to see if there was an impact on any of the surrounding equipment, company spokeswoman Darcy Fargo said Wednesday evening.
The fire was first reported between 6 and 6:10 p.m., she said.
There was a device in the electrode portion of the plant that is used to preheat a mixture that makes anodes for the smelting process, she said. That piece of equipment ignited. We dont know why at this point.
Alcoas Fire Response Team immediately began fighting the fire, and the Massena Volunteer Fire Department responded to assist, Ms. Fargo said.
They aided our Alcoa Response Team, and the blaze was quickly contained, she said.
The Massena Rescue Squad and Seaway Valley Ambulance were also on the scene as a precaution, although their services were unnecessary, Ms. Fargo said. The Louisville Volunteer Fire Department was placed on standby at the Massena station.
All emergency evacuation procedures were utilized and followed, Ms. Fargo said. Everyone got out safely and securely. There were no injuries.
The fire caused no impact on operations, she said.
We are smelting and casting, and we are going to be able to do that in the foreseeable future, she said.
A March 29, 2012, fire had caused much more extensive damage. That blaze, in which no one was injured, began when a chip melter malfunctioned in the cast house at Alcoas West Plant, sparking a blaze that quickly jumped to the roof of the two-story structure.
A chip melter is used to melt aluminum chips that are then cast into aluminum ingots or 1,500-pound flat blocks also known as sows or pigs.
During that fire, a large cloud of black smoke could be seen from miles away and covered much of Massena. There was no indication of smoke outside the plant during Wednesdays fire.
During the 2012 blaze, firefighters continued to battle hot spots well into the night after officials declared the fire under control early that evening.
Approximately 60 employees had been working inside the building at the time of that fire.
The cast house and the adjacent extrusion building were evacuated.

Cultural icon Jane Fonda was this year's recipient of the McLean Award, which is given annually to people who have furthered the public's understanding of psychiatric illness and mental health. Fonda was recognized for her mental health advocacy and for raising public awareness about issues such as eating disorders, trauma, post-partum depression, bipolar disorder and suicide. Fonda graciously accepted the award before members of the McLean community accepted at the hospital's Annual Dinner on June 20, 2014, at the InterContinental Boston.
Kayla Harrison survived childhood abuse, achieved recovery at McLean, and fulfilled her dream of becoming an Olympic gold medalist.
Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo are ever grateful for the care that a loved one received at McLean. With a $5M gift, they established the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Chair of Psychiatry in honor of McLean's present leader, Scott L. Rauch, MD.
The McLean Award is given annually to those who have raised public awareness about mental health. This year, McLean honored Jane Fonda.
The John McLean Society recognizes the grateful patients, inspired family members and friends who have included McLean in their estate plans.

CANTON – The St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency is once again appealing to state lawmakers to pass legislation allowing proceeds of the sale of low-cost hydropower to be used for economic development.
The River Agency and St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency adopted a joint resolution Tuesday which requesting such legislation.
We have been in talks with representatives, but so far we havent had any legislation, River Agency Chairman Robert O. McNeil. We would like to see this happen this legislative session.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo last year approved an agreement allowing the New York Power Authority to release 20 megawatts of low-cost power to the River Agency for economic development. The agency had already received $16 million from NYPA as part of a previous agreement. The money and power were sought as a means to make up for inequities between the NYPAs 2003 relicensing settlement to operate the St. Lawrence-FDR power project in Massena and its settlement to operate the Niagara hydrodam in Western New York.
The River Agency as part of its initial agreement with NYPA for the money and power had sought to sell whatever power was not being used to aid businesses and use the proceeds for other initiatives. The first agreement was rejected by Gov. David A. Paterson because selling the power and giving the proceeds to the River Agency was outside the scope of NYPAs powers under state law.
Language allowing the sale of the power was left out of the agreement that was ultimately approved by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
The River Agency is as a result seeking state legislation allowing the power to be sold and its proceeds used to spur growth.
The legislation River Agency and IDA officials seek mimics another measure that has already been approved for Western New York. The seven host communities of the Niagara project annually receive $5 million from the sale of 24 megawatts of power.
That money goes directly to the general fund of those communities, Mr. McNeil said. We want to be able to do the same thing, but the difference is that monetization would go towards economic development. We just want the agreement we all originally agreed to be implemented.
Being able to use proceeds from the sale of unallocated power has been central to the River Agencys plan to fund its projects.
I think it is important that everyone realizes, that even though we were granted $16 million three years ago for economic development, there are operating costs that are associated with doing that, River Agency board member Vernon D. Sam Burns, Ogdensburg, said. By having the ability to monetize either all or some of the 20 megs it will certainly help us move forward, giving a source of revenue that will sustain the River Agency in the future, so that we can provide more jobs.
Mr. McNeil said selling unused power would give the River Agency more money to put toward community development grants. On Tuesday, the River Agency awarded $538,032 in community grants and loans. Under its agreement with NYPA, 5 percent of the agencys budget is annually spent on community projects.
Mr. McNeil said he plans to meet with state lawmakers in the next few weeks in hopes of getting legislation introduced.

Magazine Article | May 21, 2012
Three Pain Points Small VARs Can Fix Now
By Jay McCall, networking and managed services Editor, Business Solutions magazine
The latest Gartner research shows that SMBs worldwide spent $860 billion in 2011, and that spending is expected to surpass the $1 trillion mark by 2014. It's no surprise why a VAR would focus on this market. Yet, the reality is that many VARs focused on the SMB market are themselves SMBs that have to address their own business struggles before they can effectively help their customers. While attending Ingram Micro's SMB Alliance (SMBA) event last month, I discovered three business pain points SMB VARs struggle with the most:
- Vendor Management — Many small VARs see the value of working with tier one vendors. But, when they need to get a technical question answered from the vendor for themselves or a customer, they find it next to impossible to get the right person on the phone. Many VARs also struggle to keep up with special offers and promos from their vendors. Ronnie Parisella, director of business development at Power Consulting, shared a real example with me. "I quoted my customer a price based on what I saw at my vendor's site that day, but when I placed the order a few days later the cost was 50% higher because I had unknowingly missed a special sale deadline," he says.
- Marketing — Galen Lambert, CEO of Computer Solutions Inc., admitted to me he's never spent a dime on marketing in his 25 years in business. Like so many small businesses, he sees the value in marketing, but after simultaneously fulfilling the roles of owner, engineer, salesperson, and janitor, he just doesn't have the knowledge, skills, or time to create marketing collateral and put together an effective advertising campaign.
- Available Resource Awareness — During one of the breakout sessions I attended, the Ingram Micro presenter talked about a personalized drop-shipping feature the distributor offers, whereby a VAR can include its company name, branding, and personalized messaging on a drop shipment to its customer. The presenter asked how many in the audience were aware of this service. Out of 100 attendees, only one or two hands went up.
In the same session, the presenter talked about a training academy that is available to help resellers keep up to date with their certifications. He then asked whether the audience was already aware of this. Again, just a few hands went up. The speaker talked about several other services, including marketing assistance, vendor management, and IT integration services and even then only about half of the attendees indicated they already knew about these services.
Your distributor is one possible resource to help with the above business challenges. But, even if you don't buy through a distributor, you should be looking at industry associations and/or peer groups (e.g. ASCII, CompTIA, HTG, RSPA) for business advice and assistance. Help is available. The more you get plugged into your industry and play an active role in finding out what's out there, the more likely you'll be to find the assistance you need.

Chip Kelly: 'I have some unfinished business' at Oregon
TAMPA, Fla. – As of late Sunday night, it appeared Chip Kelly may have coached his final football game at the University of Oregon and was headed for the warm Florida sunshine to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But on Monday morning, the sought-after coach said he will be staying in Eugene.
"I am flattered by the interest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' organization," Kelly said in a press release issued by the University of Oregon Monday morning. "I enjoyed meeting with the Glazer family and General Manager Mark Dominik but after numerous discussions, I concluded that I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon."
Sunday night, The Tampa Bay Times reported Kelly was close to a deal to become the next head coach of the Buccaneers.
But an online edition of the Times on Monday morning said the coach had reversed himself. "His heart is with college football and Oregon and he's no longer being considered,'' Bucs general manager Mark Dominik said Monday morning, according to the paper.
The two sides were reportedly hopeful a deal could be reached in the next day or so.
"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers asked for permission to engage in conversation with Coach Kelly, which was granted," Oregon Athletics Director Rob Mullens said in the press release. "The University of Oregon is one of the nation's preeminent college football programs and, as such, it comes as no surprise the NFL is interested in our personnel. "
"We are pleased with Coach Kelly's decision to remain as our head coach," Mullens added. "Coach Kelly has provided great leadership and remains committed to building on our position among the elite college football programs in the country."
The school said Kelly was not available for interviews because he was on the road recruiting.
Kelly is 34-6 and has won Pac-10/12 conference titles in each of his 3 years with Oregon. He guided the Ducks to a Rose Bowl victory - their first in 95 years - just weeks ago.
He has no NFL experience but has said in the past that he would like to coach at the highest level, according to a John Canzano blog entry at the Oregonian.
