Cascade, MI (WZZM) - West Michigan may not be the fashion capitol of the world, but there are plenty of creative and cutting edge minds that love to share their talents.
Photographer Alessandra Myers, stylist Blair Badge, make-up artists Tysi Williams and Marco Kozar and hair stylist Consing Tompkins all come together to design and photograph their own concepts for their blog, mode-collective.com.
They gave us a behind the scenes look at one of their shoots this week at A K Rikks in Cascade.
Blair Badge said, "We're just a group of girls that love fashion, love to see fashion grow in west Michigan. So, it's basically kind of our creative playground where we get to have fun and explore some different concepts."
It takes over two hours for the hair, make-up and outfits to come together for 15 minutes of photos, of which only a few will make the final cut.
Blair explains that confidence can pull almost any look together.
"I think it's okay for you to pair something that might be a little bit unconventional because it's kind of, in a way, expressing yourself without actually having to say it," says Badge. "So, if you're a little more eccentric, pairing patterns and textures together is completely fine nowadays because I think more and more, especially in Grand Rapids, there's more of a wave of on-trend fashion coming to this area. And I think it's okay. Like, we can do some things that are a little more out of the box even though this is conservative west Michigan."

The Chewelah Cougars look to push into the top half of Northeast A football this season with many returning players at key positions and retooled offensive and defensive lines.
Last season, the Cougars were hot early, getting off to a fast 5-1 start before losing three straight and then winning their final game of the season.
The Chewelah Cougars look to push into the top half of Northeast A football this season with many returning players at key positions and retooled offensive and defensive lines.
Last season, the Cougars were hot early, getting off to a fast 5-1 start before losing three straight and then winning their final game of the season.
This season, senior running back Calvin Connall and junior quarterback Derek Smith look to lead a balanced Cougar attack on offense. Ryan Finley is the only receiver with a lot of varsity experience, but the other wideouts have gotten some game time and should be ready.
"We've got good balance, we just have had to re-tool line wise." said head coach Jim Fisk.
The offensive and defensive lines will feature a host of new starters after the loss of five seniors, including first team NEA players Will Peters, Jacob Campbell and Matt Olson to graduation.
Trio of non-league games to work the kinks out.
"We should be okay up front," says coach Fisk. "We've got three non-league games to see what we need to work on and get ready for league."
Senior middle linebacker Dylan Long will lead an ex¬perienced LB group on de¬fense.
"We have all of our linebackers back with Connall and Ben Johnstone," added coach Fisk.
Finley will lead the secondary, where most players have some experience at the varsity level, but not starting experience. The lack of playing time doesn't worry coach Fisk much.
"We had them on a rotation and got them in for a series during games, not just in the fourth quarter or garbage time, but some real game situations early on," Fisk said of valuable game reps for his reserves last sea¬son.
The Cougars came through Au¬gust practice sessions without any major injuries and are eager to get out and start hitting players in different colored jerseys. On Monday the Cougars got their first bit of game action in the Deer Park Jamboree, but the games were moved to Riverside HS because of poor field conditions in Deer Park.
On Friday, Chewelah again travels to Deer Park to play the Stags at 7 p.m. In the season opener for both teams. It was unknown at press time if the field at Deer Park will be ready. If it isn't, the game will be moved to Riverside High School (Chattaroy).
The Cougars are eager to get that first game under their belt.
"We can't wait to get out there," Fisk said. "Deer Park has a lot of athletes and it will be a good test for our guys to see where we're at."
As far as the league outlook is concerned, coach Fisk believes that the NEA will be a very close and competitive league this fall.
"The turnouts at the other schools are all very close and you can't really tell who is going to be there until we get into the league schedule," Fisk added.
Monday, August 29 Jamboree @ Deer Park 5 p.m.
September 2 vs. Deer Park @ Deer Park HS 7 p.m.
September 9 vs. Cedar Park Christian @ Juanita HS 7 p.m.
September 16 vs. Tonas¬ket @ Home 7 p.m.
September 23 vs. New¬port @ Newport 7 p.m.
September 30 vs. Free¬man @ Home 7 p.m.
October 7 vs. Priest River @ Priest River, 7 p.m.
October 14 vs. Lakeside @ Lakeside 7 p.m.
October 21 vs. Riverside @ Home 7 p.m.
October 28 vs. Colville @ Colville 7 p.m.
November 4 or 5--CTL Crossov¬er TBA

A general strike by tens of thousands of public sector workers paralysed Slovenia on Wednesday, adding to Prime Minister Janez Jansa's woes as he struggles to hang on in office. As thousands took part in demonstrations in the capital Ljubljana and other cities, union leaders put the number of people striking at up to 100,000 -- one of the biggest shows of force since independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.

CANTON While in Washington hundreds of thousands listened intently as President Barack Obama touched on the work of Martin Luther King Jr. in his inaugural address to set the tone for a second term, in Canton, another president used the Rev. Mr. Kings legacy to set the tone for the spring semester.
St. Lawrence University President William L. Fox addressed a song service at the Gunnison Memorial Chapel in honor of the civil rights leader.
We are perhaps between disappointment and hope in measuring our history of the last 150 years, he said. For my own place in that dichotomy, I have come to believe that the American dream is also the American dilemma. As Lincoln wrote and as King knew, there is no moral peace until there is moral justice. Laws can express justice, but only hearts can do what is right.
Other speakers touched on the Rev. Mr. Kings message of love in a world of fear, pacifism in an era of violence and tolerance amidst bigotry by using his own words.
Dr. King said, Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence, but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him, said Claire Washer, a St. Lawrence University senior.
Several vocal groups from the university and the Community Gospel Choir also performed at the service. Selections ranged from traditional spirituals to a cappella versions of songs by Coldplay, Grace Potter and Stevie Wonder.
Music was a character of the movement; it empowered and emboldened them, said the Rev. Shaun D. Whitehead, St. Lawrences associate chaplain. Songs were used to conquer hate, fear and violence.
The work of the Rev. Mr. King found its genesis 150 years ago in President Abraham Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation, Mr. Fox said.
When you see the iconic images of Dr. King speaking from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, the centennial year of the Emancipation Proclamation, you should not miss that the declaration of a dream rests upon the governing prose of a proclamation, he said. Before there was a national holiday honoring the life of Martin Luther King, there was for about a hundred years in many African-American communities a celebration on New Years Day of the Emancipation Proclamation.
A century and a half later, Americans are still called to continue the work of emancipation, Mr. Fox said.
The Emancipation Proclamation was not by any means a declaration of victory or the codification of better law, he said. It was only the forerunner of reform; it was decidedly not a change in legal rights and protection.
That reform became a cross for civil rights pioneers to bear.
As the muted last light of the day faded through the chapels stained glass windows, Valerie D. Lehr, vice president and dean of academic affairs, traced the legacy of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Rev. Mr. King to Mr. Obamas second inauguration.
The election of Barack Obama as president of the United States can be seen as a direct result of Dr. Kings work, she said.
Mr. Fox urged his students to free themselves from ignorance, incivility and fear of their differences.
For our own small part in converting proclamation into fact, learn something new, note something beautiful, and do something brave, he said. We enjoy wondrous freedom in this new day. And yet, we are never entirely emancipated so long as we require strength to face an old dilemma and to embrace an abiding dream.

Wednesday, June 02, 2010Nicole Burgess played both basketball and tennis for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons. She majored in business education and minored in management, then went to Tennessee State University where she earned her mathematics endorsement. She has been teaching in the Metro Public School System in Nashville for 23 years, the last three at Hume-Fogg Magnet, one of the top schools in the country. She was named the Metropolitan Public Schools 2011 Teacher of the Year in the high school division. She also became one of the few teachers in Metro to earn national board certification in mathematics. She took a few minutes to talk with lipscombsports.com.
1. What sport(s) did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played both women's basketball and tennis from 1982-86. Trish Duty and Ann Duncan were my tennis coaches. Frank Bennett was my basketball coach.â€
2. What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"Playing two sports for four years was a pretty cool feat. Honestly, that is my fondest memory. When I hear my students complain about how much homework they've got I usually don't listen to them. I tell them I played two sports in college and I handled them just fine.
"I do remember coach Bennett making a lot of U-turns every time we would go somewhere. We just go used to it.â€
3. Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Athletically, my Dad, Paul Burgess always had the biggest influence on me. He was not only supportive, but he was also a teacher. He helped me become who I am as an athlete.
"He would take me down to the tennis court when I was eight. He taught me golf when I was 14. He taught me how to work on my basketball shot when I was just a little squirt.â€
4. What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"The best part of going to a place like Lipscomb is being around like-minded, Christian people. Going to activities and forming friendships with those types of people helped make me who I am today.â€
5. What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"Time management and being organized. When you play two sports you have no choice.
"I had some great teammates. I am still close to them. It is what coach Bennett called `life-long' teammates. When you come back for reunions or see them the bond is still there.
"Another thing I learned was to always be positive. When you are around good programs you become a better person. To this day when I see a piece of paper on the floor that I didn't thrown down there I pick it up. I say `please' and `thank you'.
"I treat people with respect. I honor my elders. Those are the types of things that Lipscomb teaches you. Your parents reinforce those things, but it is a great environment.â€
6. Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I definitely liked Dot Eubanks for typing and shorthand. I also liked Patti Dugger. I remember writing a 50-page paper for her. It is amazing how fast I can type.â€
7. Where do you live now?
"I live in Goodlettsville, Tenn.â€
8. Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"Hume-Fogg is an awesome school. I teach honors Algebra I and Algebra II.â€
9. Tell us about your family.
"I am single.â€

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Sometimes when my mom and grandma see Princess P they tell me that I dress her too modern. They say that a little girl needs to be in frills and lace and not jeans and a tee shirt all the time. I have no problems with frilly clothes but it can sometimes be hard for me to find outfits that I like that are also feminine. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found a feminine yet stylish line of hand-smocked dresses from PerryWinkles Kids.
Graciela and Maria are a Canadian-based mother-daughter team who draw inspiration for their designs from their grand-daughters and daughters. Being moms themselves they understand and appreciate good quality clothing that is easy to care for. With that in mind they created most of their dresses and cardigans to be machine-washable. All of their dresses are hand-smocked and hand-embroidered and their cardigans and jumpers are all hand-embroidered as well.
We had the opportunity to review the very beautiful Beatrice Viyella Smocked Dress from PerryWinkles Kids. The floral print is the epitome of everything feminine and girly. The hand-smocking at the top of the dress is so incredible and it has a unique hand-embroidery pattern in a pink and green combination. The collar, cuffs and the back of the dress also feature wonderful hand-embroidery detail. The dress has button closures and a tie back that completes the look. The way the dress looks on Princess P is as equally adorable. It has a more full effect at the bottom and it falls at just the right length. I even threw it in the washing machine with her other clothes and it came out perfect. I did hang it up to dry though. I cannot wait to get Princess P's pictures made in the Beatrice Viyella Smocked Dress and I have already deemed it her "Thanksgiving" dress. And in cause you are wondering what my mom and grandma think of the dress, they absolutely love it!

The Grandfather Mountain Naturalist staff has made several additions to this year's first annual Grandfather Mountain Campout. Hosted by the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, the Campout offers participants unique, never-before-available opportunities on the Mountain and takes place July 27-29.
Highlighting the additions is the "Grandfather Night Sky" program for Saturday evening, led by Tom Blevins of the Charlotte Amateur Astronomers Club. This informal discussion will astound and educate guests as they gaze up at the night sky over Grandfather's mile-high peaks. Guests will observe and learn about stars, constellations and planets with the naked eye as well as a high-powered telescope. This event is weather permitting. There must be a clear view of the mountain sky for this to take place.
Another addition to the Campout schedule is Native American Games. Throughout the weekend there will be a basket of authentic Native American games and toys for all to enjoy. Naturalist Staff will provide instruction on the games and campout participants are invited to participate in activities that the native people of this country have enjoyed for generations.
During this campout, guests will spend up to three days and two nights camping in MacRae Meadows in between organized events all over the Mountain. Grandfather's education and interpretive staff will be present in the camp area to assist novice campers, answer questions and even offer campfire treats and activities. The campsite will be safe, cater to all levels of camping experience and welcomes families, couples and solo adventurers throughout this weekend of wonder.
"We'll have staff present at the camp area at all times," said Jesse Pope, director of education and natural resources at Grandfather Mountain. "Our goal is to provide a safe environment at the Campout, but also to facilitate a learning environment."
The schedule and registration for the Grandfather Mountain Campout is available on www.grandfather.com. Registration forms must be printed and mailed in. Those who wish to register for a guided hike and/or a Behind the Scenes Tour must be sure their registration is received by July 25. Registration for the campout must be submitted by July 27.

Court ruling that NRG allegations are without merit considered a major step in proposed acquisition
CHICAGO (June 22, 2009) – The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York today ruled that the remaining allegations raised in a suit filed by NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) on March 17 are without merit. The court had earlier dismissed other allegations in NRG's lawsuit. By order dated June 19, the judge rejected NRG's remaining claim that Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) does not intend to complete the exchange offer according to its terms and entered judgment in favor of Exelon.
"Despite NRG's many attempts to obstruct Exelon's offer, Exelon remains committed to a combination with NRG that delivers value for shareholders of both companies," said William A. Von Hoene, Jr., Exelon executive vice president, finance and legal. "We are now focused on the election of nine new, independent and experienced NRG directors who will act in the best interests of NRG shareholders at NRG's annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for July 21, 2009."
Exelon announced on October 19, 2008, its proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of NRG common stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.485 of a share of Exelon common stock for each share of NRG common stock, which represented a 37% premium for NRG stockholders based on closing prices on the NYSE on October 17, 2008, the last trading day prior to the public disclosure of the Exelon offer. After NRG twice rejected the Exelon offer, Exelon brought its exchange offer directly to NRG shareholders on November 12, 2008.
About Exelon Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with nearly $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 southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

1. Pumpkin
As we stated above, our favorite treat of the fall season is pumpkin-flavored everything. Which, in its fresh version, is actually a great thing. Pumpkins are full of fiber, Vitamin A, beta carotene, and potassium.
Of course, the quintessential way to eat pumpkins is through pumpkin pie, but pumpkins also go great in vegan muffins, as a lush filler for pork chops, made into a soup, a marmalade, or paired with cheese to make a festive spread!

The Lipscomb University Bisons (2-4, 1-0 A-Sun) seek to open conference play with two wins for the first time in three years as they take on the Kennesaw State Owls (3-4, 0-1 A-Sun) Saturday evening. Game time is 6:30 p.m. CST at the Convocation Center in Kennesaw, Ga.
Lipscomb beat the Mercer Bears 98-89 Thursday evening behind a strong offensive display. Jordan Burgason had a career high 31 points on eight 3-pointers. Adnan Hodzic had 25 points and Josh Slater had a career high 24 points. Hodzic had a game high nine rebounds.
Kennesaw lost to Belmont 75-70 in overtime Thursday evening. Markeith Cummings led all scorers and rebounders with 32 points and 11 rebounds. Kennesaw State shot 28-of-75 (37.3 percent) from the field and 12-of-39 from beyond the arc.
Last year the Bisons won both meetings between the teams. Lipscomb won 90-78 in Allen Arena on Jan. 26. Lipscomb had five players score in double-figures and had 27 assists on 30 turnovers. Lipscomb won 61-44 in the Convocation Center on Feb. 22 behind double-doubles by Hodzic and Brandon Brown.
Quick Hits
Last Time Out
It was a career night for several Lipscomb players as the Bisons opened Atlantic Sun Conference action with a 98-89 victory against the Mercer Bears Thursday evening in the University Center.
Sophomore Jordan Burgason hit eight 3-points scoring 31 points, both career highs. He becomes the sixth Bison since Lipscomb moved to the NCAA to score 30 or more points in a game.
Junior Josh Slater also tallied a career-high with 24 points. He finished with six assists and three steals in 32 minutes of action.
Preseason all-conference selection Adnan Hodzic scored 25 points and barely missed third double-double of the season finishing with nine boards. The junior was 10-of-11 from the field and five-of-six from the free throw line.
Sophomore Brian Wright finished with a season-high 13 points and had seven rebounds. Freshman Milos Kleut scored his first two points as a Bison and grabbed two boards in seven minutes of action off the bench.
Freshman guard Jacob Arnett delivered a solid performance off the bench for the Bisons with four rebounds and three assists with no turnovers in 11 minutes of action.
Mercer's largest lead was a 34-22 advantage with 6:50 left. The Bisons were able to tighten the gap and make it a 45-38 game at halftime. James Florence had 21 points at the break.
The Bisons opened the second half with five critical defensive stops and tied the game at 45.
With Lipscomb down 57-53 with 14:05 left, Jordan Burgason drained a 3-pointer to start a 17-2 run for the Bisons over the next 4:49.
Lipscomb - Mercer Postgame Notes
Brown on the Boards
Junior Brandon Brown has 413 career rebounds. This tally puts him fifth among active players in the Atlantic Sun
Good from the Field
Adnan Hodzic is a clear leader among active Atlantic Sun players for field goal percentage with at least 400 attempts. Hodzic is shooting .596 from the field. Then next closest A-Sun player is Ayron Hardy who is connecting on .552 of his shots.
Last season Hodzic scored a career high 30 points on 14-of-16 shooting on Jan. 17 at ETSU. He is the first Lipscomb player to have such a game since the Bisons joined the Atlantic Sun in 2003.
Double It
Adnan Hodzic has scored in double figures in 33 consecutive games. The streak is the longest in Lipscomb's NCAA-era.
Lipscomb athletic director Philip Hutcheson holds Lipscomb's all-time record as he scored in double figures in every game he played for the Bisons (155).

CANTON A home-grown company with a knack for innovation and community service is rolling out a new subsidiary.
United Helpers introduced its first for-profit venture: Sparx, a business development and management firm.
The parent organization, United Helpers Management Co., is best known for nonprofit work administering home health, residential, assisted-living, rehabilitation and day-care services. With Sparx, United Helpers will enter the economic development field.
We think the for-profit company is a more nimble organization, said Stephen E. Knight, United Helpers Chief Executive Officer. Were looking at things other than health care.
Sparx is the companys first nonhealth-oriented enterprise and will focus on getting the north countrys stagnant economy moving, said Mr. Knight.
If you look at the mechanisms for creating jobs, we think we can be a part of it, he said. Weve come to the conclusion that jobs are a social issue, and were determined that were going to be part of the solution.
The new company will operate out of the old Community Bank building at 85-91 Main St. in Canton, said Mr. Knight.
We have things going on in Canton and we want to keep things moving, he said. The building is already under renovation. We want a base for Sparx.
Mr. Knight wouldnt say how much the property cost.
Joining Sparx in the offices will be some services formerly housed at the Cedars Nursing Home in Oswegatchie.
Some countywide offices will move to Canton, he said, adding it wasnt determined yet which ones would be moving.
Mr. Knight said a total of 10-15 jobs would shift from Oswegatchie to Canton.
One of Sparxs first projects is to develop a regional food hub in the Canton area, said Mr. Knight. To that end, Sparx plans to apply for a grant under the New York State Consolidated Funding Application process jointly with North Country Pastured, Northern Grown Food Co-op, GardenShare and Cornell Cooperative Extension.
One of our regions strengths is agriculture, that is why we want to focus on a food hub, he said. The CFA is a huge undertaking, and well talk more about it in the future.
Sparx also will focus on fostering collaborations between local businesses and agencies, said Mr. Knight.
Wherever we can partner and collaborate, we should try to, he said. Were looking for new businesses to partner with or to start up with Sparx.
Part of the new companys purpose will be to assist new entrepreneurs with capital and knowledge to build small, local companies.
Sparx will be our vehicle for job creation, he said. Existing small businesses create the lions share of new jobs, and we look forward to partnering with them in that process.

Hearty Soup and Stew Recipes (Slide 7)
Wow, I loved this soup. So did everyone who i gave a taste to.
It was definitely worth the bit of work it took. It was almost... zen making this on a rainy Saturday with the peeling and the scooping and the chopping.
It took 2 1/2 pie pumpkins. I added the 6 cups of chicken stock to my dutch oven and used an immersion blender.
It went great with a warm baguette.
I was surprised how flavorful the 4 apples made this dish.
I would serve yearly!

Dsappointing. Most of these are soups (hardly hearty at all) and there are few stews. The better title would be Soups and a Few Stews.

Midwest Living Review
The suites are owned by Michigan Vacation Rentals, which manages a wide variety of lodgings in the Saugatuck/Douglas area. The suites consist of about 20 units in a building set on a bluff above town. Timber surrounds the property, which means you don't get a lake view here, but you also get a nice sense of being separated from the town around you. Downtown Saugatuck is about a five-minute drive away, and the famed Oval Beach is even closer. Many of the Suites' units have decks or ground-level patios overlooking the swimming pool. The suite we stayed in was spacious and comfortably furnished, although the furniture and overall design were dated, as is common in vacation rentals. We were disappointed in several service details at the Suites. For check-in, the website sends you to a street address that turns out to be a tropical fish store that's never heard of the Suites. The check-in staff seemed surprised when we pointed out this problem, and said they hadn't been at that address for about six years. The code on our electronic door lock didn't work, so we had to call the office for help. There's an on-site laundry facility at the Suites, but we had to hunt down a housekeeping staffer to open the door so we could use it. There's no WiFi service, and we only got about five channels on our TV. And our rooms (and those of the guests staying next door to us, they told us) could've been cleaner. The kitchen floor clearly hadn't been mopped for a while, and we found two half-full beers in the fridge.

PAWTUCKET — With the topic of gun violence on everyone's minds, two city councilors have come up with a targeted plan to reduce the amount of firearms on Pawtucket's streets. It involves holding a gun "buy-back," a concept that has proven successful in other communities.
Councilor-At-Large Albert Vitali and District 5 Councilor Jean Philippe Barros are spearheading the citywide gun buy-back event, which they hope to hold sometime in March at a centralized location. The two have spoken to Pawtucket Police Chief Paul King, and the Police Department will be coordinating the event. The gun buy-back has also been given the go-ahead by Mayor Donald Grebien and his administration, Vitali said.
Vitali said the subject came up one night after a City Council meeting during a discussion he had with Barros about the recent school shootings and gun violence gripping the nation. He noted that Barros' district, in particular, has seen its own share of incidents involving guns and gun violence. The gun buy-back, he said, "helps by creating awareness and gets the whole community involved in a pro-active campaign to take guns off of our streets."
Barros said he considers the most important aspect of the event as promoting awareness of the terrible toll that gun violence can take on families. He noted that this is especially important for young people, who may be trying to gain respect or are involved in gang activity and then find a gun lying around and are tempted to use it. If there is just one less firearm available, that could cut down on an act of violence, he said.
"I hope this small gesture makes the city of Pawtucket and other streets around the state a little safer," Barros said.
Those turning in working guns will receive a gift card that can be used for cash. He said the value of the gift cards offered is yet to be determined, but typically involves something like $50 for a pistol or handgun and $75 for a rifle. The buy-back will be open to individuals only (no gun dealers).
The two councilors are asking for local businesses to sponsor and support the event through financial donations that will be used to provide the gift cards. Vitali said that several potential sponsors have already indicated an interest in helping out, including Med Tech Ambulance, Fastcash Pawn and Checkcashers, Inc.; Sullivan's Public House/Doherty's East Avenue Irish Pub, and Bristol County Savings Bank.
Any business wishing to donate to the gun buy-back event is asked to contact Councilor Albert Vitali at 286-1830 or Councilor Jean Philippe Barros at 359-2254.

Revis Watch: Ruh Roh!
Could Darrelle Revis' tenure as a Jet end with the lasting image of him grimacing in pain on the football field? I certainly hope not but according to CBS Sports' Jason La Confora, it's a very real possibility. Here's Rotoworld on La Confora's report…
According to La Canfora, owner Woody Johnson has "strong reservations" about the team's ability to extend Revis beyond the final year of his contract next season, and wants to "attempt to land value for Revis now, rather than risk losing him" in free agency. It's a sign the Jets are dead serious about rebuilding and addressing their cap issues, but it would be strange timing to trade Revis, as he's coming off a torn ACL. Selling low on your best player isn't recommended in any sport. However, a clause in Revis' contract bars the Jets from using the franchise tag, so the danger of losing him next winter is real. Even coming off a major knee injury, interest in Revis should be robust if he's truly made available.
Welp. Stay tuned.
Update: Inside the NFL has a brief preview of La Confora's report.
Bent also brought up some interesting points…
"As I've noted many times on here, rather than creating more cap room, trading Revis will actually worsen the Jets' cap situation by another $3m (along with the costs associated with whatever players or picks they get in exchange for him).
I don't like the move mainly for that reason, but it's a sign they're going for a longer term viewpoint, which I guess is a good sign."

By Joseph Andrew Lee
When deployed to a war zone, there is a lot of down time and few comforts from home with which to occupy that time. The USO is working to change that.
Through a program called Pro vs. GI Joe, the USO has found a way to leverage one of the most popular pieces of gear found inside a USO Center – the gaming console – to give troops an experience of a lifetime by connecting them online to play their favorite title with professional athletes and entertainers.
"Be it baseball, NASCAR, NBA, NFL or pop-culture celebrities, there are lots of gamers out there," said Juston Reynolds, USO program manager, "and they want to do something for the troops just like everyone else."
At the E3 Expo in Los Angeles, Activision – through their charitable Call of Duty Endowment – donated some valuable real estate in the main hall where the program could be demonstrated and the USO could also display its deployable Mobile Entertainment Gaming Systems (MEGS). On the first two days of the expo, mixed martial artist Tito Ortiz and Australian rock band Sick Puppies came out to entertain and play video games with troops stationed at Kandahar Air Field and in Qatar.
"What the USO is doing here is amazing," said Sick Puppies vocalist and guitarist Shimon Moore. "Sitting down and looking into that camera – looking directly into a USO in Afghanistan, seeing smiles on the faces of all these men and women when you sit down and start playing 'Call of Duty' – really gives you that instant feeling like you just did something awesome that made their day."
Sick Puppies, which consists of Moore, bassist Emma Anzai and drummer Mark Goodwin, played about six songs for guests at the expo, including a number of songs from their new album, "Connect," available July 16.
"Their title song 'Connect' really made an impression on me, considering what Pro vs. GI Joe is really doing for these guys," said Air Force veteran and Sick Puppies fan Gary Shomore while playing "Call of Duty" on a MEGS system after the show. "That's all we want to do is connect and that's all our family back at home wants to do."
Pro vs. GI Joe has performed more than 100 events at arenas and expos across the United States, lifting the spirits of thousands of deployed troops and their families along the way.
"These days the technology in Xbox and PlayStation can make that connection happen in a very positive and interactive way," Shomore said. "If I was at that USO in Kandahar, I'd be glowing right now."

Perfect fit! After unsuccessfully searching every store for this product, I am so happy to have found them at The Vermont Country Store. Thank-you for carrying the gold standard in comfort that doesn't ride up or show panty lines. November 18, 2013
the best from the Pass I was pleased with the Order and everything was OK,but I will go back to the Item I have gotten in the passed . Vermount Country Store is great ,I have visited it many times and there product are great .Its nice to have a store you can find the things from the pass . October 30, 2013
Finally 100% cotton! I've looked high and low for 100% cotton panties that were comfortable. Jockey's banding was irritating and everything else at the department stores had a bit of Lycra. That bit of Lycra never bothered me before but suddenly I couldn't stand it. (Maybe it's my age- 46.) Finally I found these and I've never been happier. Yes, they're "grannie panties" but the short torso option makes them fit a smidge lower than real "grannies". I'll give up a little sexy for this kind of comfort. I suppose this is what defines "old age". Ha ha. October 23, 2013

First of all please ensure that you install the latest graphics drivers for your graphics card supplied by the chipset manufacturer (eg ATI/NVidia/Intel) and not those offered by Windows Update as they are not fully OpenGL compatible often as required by QuakeLive.
For ex Quake3Arena players expecting the same performance - QuakeLive is not the same as Quake3Arena, much of the code has changed, and some relatively graphically demanding things have been added, Quake3's performance on your machine bears little relevance to QuakeLive's performance.
Some quick things to try, either from the in game menu (press escape), or the console command given -
- Play with a lower resolution - eg \r_mode 9 or r_mode 12 (see the r_modes list )
- Disable Post Processing - r_enablePostProcess "0" in the console
- Try compressed textures (lower required gfx card bandwidth)- r_ext_compressed_textures "1"
- Disable Shadows - cg_shadows "0"
- Try fastpath shaders (not a menu option) - r_ignorefastpath "0"
- check cl_avidemo is set to "0" (a common accident after demo recording, or cfg tests)

EmmaHairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairToo Good To Be True, Literally.So I pretty much loved the bumble and bumble hair care products. I got addicted to their online hair care site after my faveorite salon Gene Maurez used and sold this brand. I bought this online, and honesty it isn't worth the price at all. It did absolutely nothing for my hair and just left it smelling wierd. It feels as if your only sprays water in your hair and appears that way too, along with a wierd smell. My hair felt very bad and rough after using this product both before i blow-dryed, after blow-dryed, or just left it in damp hair (i was determined to get this product to work for me!) And since i have very thin and fine hair i thought this would be my savior. It wasn't. I was greatly dissapointed.2 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Vicki ThornberryCincinnati, Ohio AreaHairFine or Thin HairThe Best Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have fine hair that wilts in the heat, any misty rain or just if I sweat. Nothing has ever held my hair like this. I would walk miles to obtain this, if I had to; recently, six of us went on a shopping trip to Gartlinburg, Tnn. and the wind had everyones hair a mess except mine. Mine did not move. Everyone wanted to know how my hair stayed so nice so I told them. Four of them ordered the Bumble and Bumble Extra Strength spray. This is not for those who want a natural and bouncy do, but it is great for hair that you want to look exactly the way that you fixed it by midnight. Vicki T4 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Customer Reviews for Kitchen Orange New Additions Blackout
By customer
These blinds were exactly what I expected. The material is still light weight but the backing really keeps the light out. The only concern I have is cleaning them. The non-blackout shades I have from this brand I can dunk in the tub and hang dry.View this product
"Good night's sleep - found!"
By Shades4Us from Diamond Bar, California
Our new blackout shades for our hard-to-reach window are fantastic - they look great and block out the sun, heat and moonlight effectively. Now I'd like to buy similar shades for the rest of our bedroom windows!View this product

Read: Samuel Noreau Impressed In Traverse City
At Hockey's Future, Ken McKenna writes that the Rangers Samuel Noreau was impressive during the Traverse City tournament.
The 6-5 Noreau isn't afraid to use his big frame while defending in his own end, but he showed that he is more than just a big bodied, stay-at-home-defenseman.
Noreau had six penalty minutes and one shot in Traverse City
He was the 136th pick this past season.

It doesnt do any of that. It just tells me that if I follow these twelve steps I can stop drinking and stay sober, It doesnt tell me how to deal with everything while i am in the process... It just doesnt.
I guess I screwed up and -- I must be buying defective Big Books. Mine has all the answers to living life that I've ever had questions for, and more. Mine, precisely shows me "how" to plan my day -- and -- "how" to execute my daily plan. Mine -- shows me "how" to get the answer to any problem or ANY situation I have -- AND what to do -- while I'm waiting to discover the answer.
Host wrote:what the Big Book doesnt cover can be covered and discovered in a good meeting with a sponser.
I guess this is where I screw up again... I avoid much of the advice, suggestions, opinions and theories -- that I hear IN the rooms! I have to honestly say, that at least 95% of what I heard in the rooms would get me drunk again if I listen to it as "suggestions or directions." What they say -- MAY SOUND GOOD AND RATIONAL -- but, an alkie of my type can't stay sober and can't live comfortable while sober -- by depending on what I hear in meetings.
I hope you won't hold that against me. The one thing that I read in the BB and hear in the meetings -- that is the same -- is, the facts about the need to be rigorously honest. And, it seems to tick off a lot of people -- when I'm honest about me.
Perhaps... I'm a different breed of alcoholic. I don't know. The BB indicates that there are many different types of alcoholics -- and it clearly states, in my defective one -- that the book isn't even going to try to cover "each type" because there are so many different types.
However -- this I do know. The BB covers "my type." That's what I know. And, that could be why -- I'm able to see and find all of my answers to "daily living" in the BB. I find in there -- PRECISELY what to do in ANY situation that I've ever faced. When I wasn't sure about it -- I would check w/ my sponsor. But, I look in the book first -- then, I ask my sponsor about it. (And, I believe I have the best sponsor in the world -- he's way smarter and more intelligent than me, and he's been sober more than twice as long as I have).
I think John's question and his sharing above -- hold the sobriety keys, for alkies of my type. They tried everything else -- even the rooms and the people in the rooms, sponsors, yada yada yada -- and it didn't work.
So, they often conclude like I did at one time -- "Well. I went to AA. But, it didn't work for me. I needed more than what they had to offer -- and I couldn't find it." And, the reason they couldn't find it???? IS because it's in the book -- and not in the meetings. And, very sadly, but honestly -- I've got to say it -- MOST sponsors that I've met in AA -- haven't read the book. If they had read the book and did what was in the book -- they wouldn't be asking me the questions that some of them ask! And, it's NOT that "I'm so smart or anything" -- it's just that I've read the book, I do what's in the book -- so I can tell them what page it's on when they ask. (But... I AM smart, too! I must be... because I was smart enough to read the book! ).

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of delivering HDMTX in an outpatient setting.
Drug: High Dose Methotrexate
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Assessing the Safety, Feasibility, Cost Effectiveness and Patient Satisfaction of Outpatient Administration of High Dose Methotrexate (HD MTX) in Patients With Osteosarcoma
- The proportion of outpatient High Dose Methotrexate courses which result in an inpatient hospital admission. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Patients will be evaluated prior to and daily during each outpatient HDMTX course, and if one or more of a list of hospitalization criteria are met, the patient will be admitted to hospital to complete that course.
- The institutional costs for all the inpatient courses which occur on study [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The average cost of an outpatient course [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Patient and parent satisfaction [ Time Frame: After the first outpatient course (Day 4 or 5 (anticipated)) and at the end of participation in the study (up to 10 months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The tool will utilize a 5 point visual analog scale and include assessments of the following items: home medication administration, measuring urine pH, pump/supplies, MD support, education and instruction. Any score ≥ 3 will be considered as 'satisfied'.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2010
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|August 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: HDMTX
This is a single arm study. All subjects enrolled in the study will be in this arm.
Drug: High Dose Methotrexate
Methotrexate will be given by IV at a dose of 12 gram/m2/dose.
The patient will receive 4-6 hours of hydration with alkalinization, and then HD MTX will be infused over 4 hours. Following this, the patient will be discharged home to receive continuous intravenous hydration through a portable pump. The patient will return to hospital daily for a comprehensive clinical assessment, IV hydration and antiemetics, MTX level and creatinine monitoring until MTX is cleared (3-4 days).
Detailed Description:
High Dose Methotrexate (HDMTX) is an integral part of osteosarcoma therapy whose main toxicities include myelosuppression, mucositis, nephrotoxicity, and hepatitis. In order to deliver HDMTX therapy safely, patients require urinary alkalinization, hydration, monitoring of renal function, therapeutic drug monitoring, and leucovorin rescue. Due to the required supportive care needs, HDMTX has historically been given as an inpatient. In some centers however, HDMTX is being given safely as an outpatient in order to reduce health care costs, improve patient quality of life and to deliver timely therapy with limited inpatient chemotherapy beds available.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|6 Years to 18 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- ≥ 6 years of age;
- Localized or metastatic osteosarcoma;
- Adequate renal function (GFR > 70 ml/1.73m2) prior to each cycle;
- No grade III/IV renal toxicity, mucositis or vomiting with most recent prior inpatient MTX cycle;
- Parent and/or patient must be able to provide written consent, and complete Patient Flow Sheets in English.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients, in the opinion of the primary healthcare team, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study, or in whom compliance is likely to be suboptimal.
- Pregnant females
- Breastfeeding females
