At the Hareport!
If you are waiting to board a plane at the airport you may just be lucky enough to see some furry creatures leaping around the runways. Over 60 Irish hares have made the airfield their home, the wide open spaces of the runways and taxiways make an ideal habitat for the hare. They can be found all over the airport, not just on the airfield, you may have seen them while parking your car in many of the airport car parks.
Hare numbers run in cycles, possibly because of their relationship with their main predator — the fox. As hare numbers rise, foxes keep them in check and as numbers fall, fox numbers fall. And the hares don't go unnoticed by our passengers, many people using the airport make reference to the hare and they are not difficult to spot as they can be quite large. They normally come out at night and have been known to sit on the airport lights to keep warm!
It seems they prefer the airport due to the lack of predators and because the habitat is more suitable than on intensively farmed land, where the grass tends to be all one species and landowners use pesticides. All kinds of wild grasses are grown here, which we cut once a year. It's completely shaved at the end of May and June.
The airport is a relatively safe environment for the hares, no-one can come on to the land to shoot, dogs can't get in to chase them and birds of prey and crows are scared off with safety measures. It leaves only foxes to pose any threat — and on the wide flat lands they can be seen coming from a long way away.
The airport hares seem to buck the trends in several different ways. For one, hares are regarded as solitary creatures, but at the airport they can be seen in family groups of 10 to 12. You wouldn't see that on farmland. They are a nocturnal species but here they can be seen day and night.
So next time you are travelling through the airport, keep your eyes peeled for our furry friends.

In the Life "Becoming Me"
Is it a boy or a girl? Many parents learn the answer before their baby is born, and most expect their children to develop a gender identity that mirrors biological sex within their first few years. But for transgender and gender nonconforming children, gender identity unfolds throughout childhood, adolescence and into early adulthood. Eight families with transgender and gender non-conforming children ranging in ages from 5 to 25 share their stories. With the healthy development of their children at stake, parents must confront binary perceptions of gender, widespread transphobia and controversial parenting decisions.

OGDENSBURG - A group of north country veterans and their supporters will meet next week with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to discuss the possibility of establishing a veterans hospital in Ogdensburg.
Building such a hospital closer to home has been the chief objective of Operation Veterans since the group first formed in 2011 to address issues facing north country veterans.
There are outpatient clinics for veterans in Watertown, Massena and Malone. But veterans say they offer limited services. Anything beyond basic primary care that calls for a specialist has to be done at Veterans Administration Medical Centers in Syracuse or Albany.
Veterans and their supporters say Syracuse and Albany are too far, especially for elderly and disabled veterans, to travel to receive medical services.
The distance between is about 135 miles one way and 270 miles round-trip, organization member Susan J. Rupert said. For veterans traveling from Malone or Franklin County to Albany, it is even farther than that.
Waiting times and appointment dates are also a hassle, she said.
The waiting period is outrageous, Ms. Rupert said. We had a veteran who recently went down and scheduled an appointment in Syracuse and was told he wouldnt be seen until October for a test that he is supposed to have every three months. A lot of veterans cant make the trip. It is getting expensive. That combined with the age of some of the veterans, some of them are forgoing treatments because of it.
In addition to outlining the needs of veterans, Operation Veterans will also highlight the economic benefits of establishing a hospital.
You are talking about jobs for out-of-work nurses and internships of the college students, Ms. Rupert said. Instead of having to go out of the area, students and graduates can work right here. Its a great opportunity for a lot of the college students.
Mr. Cuomos office offered the hour-long, face-to-face meeting with Operation Veterans after seeing an informational packet sent by the members.
Operation Veterans members will propose use of the Pritchard Building at the St. Lawrence County Psychiatric Center, 1 Chimney Point Drive, as a possible site.
The group has met and sent letters to U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and U.S. Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
Everybody has expressed their support, Ms. Rupert said.
There are 152 Veterans Administration medical centers nationwide.
The VA supports any efforts to provide care and services to our nations veterans, VA spokeswoman Sue Hopkins said. However, it wouldnt be appropriate for the national VA to comment on a proposal for veterans health care facility on the state level.
The meeting will take place Tuesday. The group is currently looking for letters of support from community members, particularly veterans, to take with them to Albany.
We want to see some feedback on how veterans and the community feel about establishing the hospital, Ms. Rupert said. We want to hear about their problems or their economic reasons just overall how they feel about it so we can best address their needs when we go to Albany.
Id love for the mailman to drop off a whole bag, she said.
Letters may be sent to 925 Ford St., Ogdensburg, 13669.

Rangers vs. Flyers
Madison Square Garden, 12:30 p.m. Sunday
Rangers' Record: 34-29-4
Flyers' Record: 40-18-6
The Rangers continue their dire run to the playoff finish line in a matinee tomorrow afternoon against their Atlantic Division rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers. The Hurricanes, Sabres and Maple Leafs are closing in and riding on their tail for the last two playoff slots in the Eastern Conference.
The Flyers two game losing streak thanks to the Maple Leafs and Sabres has been most inconvenient for the Blueshirts. The Sabres' 5-3 victory over the Flyers today makes the two points that much more critical. Buffalo now has 70 points while the Rangers have 72.
After a 4-1 explosive win over the Ottawa Senators Friday night, the Blueshirts need to ride the momentum. But they must take that victory with a grain of salt – the Sens are in last place for a reason – and come out swinging tomorrow.
Sean Avery and Erik Christensen, who have struggled this season, have played better of late by making their presence known, creating opportunities deep in the offensive zone and contributing some points. Avery energy could be just the X factor the Rangers need.
Wearing down the Conference leading Flyers early, who could be sluggish after back-to-back afternoon games, will give the Rangers a shot at victory and put last week's three-game losing skid in the dust. An early one goal lead won't do the trick. The Flyers carry some hefty depth on offense with Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Danny Briere, Claude Giroux and Scot Hartnell. Newly acquired winger Kris Versteeg is starting to gel with three goals in his last two games.
The Rangers can't fall asleep at the wheel. One escaped defensive assignment, one bad penalty, and one sluggish shift is enough to lose two points. One missed point is enough to miss the playoffs as the Flyers so aptly demonstrated last season.
Madison Square Garden hasn't been home sweet home this season as the Rangers post a 14-16-3 record there. Hardworking efforts against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Sabres and Minnesota Wild resulted in disappointment.
The Rangers can't afford to drop anymore points on home ice.
Flyers' goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has allowed seven goals in his last two games so it might be Brian Boucher who protects the net tomorrow. Henrik Lundqvist could make his 12th consecutive start with backup Martin Biron out for the season with a broken collarbone. Marian Gaborik (concussion) has been traveling and skating with the team but may not be ready to return if the headaches still persist.
The Broad Street Bullies won 4-2 the last time the two teams met on February 20.

While the Democrats have continued to shriek about Rush Limbaugh's mildly inappropriate — albeit accurate — remarks about a fake "activist" offering fake "testimony" at a fake "hearing," the situation in the Mideast has heated up faster than Democratic Party leader Bill Maher during coupon night at a Nevada brothel.
That's right, kiddies. While we've been watching the Democrats run through their deliberately distracting rhetorical gymnastics, the Israelis, the Syrians, the Iranians and a handful of the Islamofascist terrorist groups funded by the latter two nations are one spooked camel away from all-out war.
Hundreds of rockets have rained down on Israel, which has routinely responded by dropping planeloads of ordinance on warrens of adherents to the "religion of peace." Behind the Muslim missiles stand those redoubtable godfathers of Islamofascist terrorism: Iran and Syria (not to mention the Russians and the Red Chinese). Behind the Israeli air assaults stands the United States. Oh, joy! Another proxy war is in the offing.
Unless it isn't.
While Syria devotes time and resources to the terrorists who murder Israelis, the reality is that the Syrians are fairly consumed by their increasingly nasty intramural squabble. Iran, however, seems perfectly willing to shake its fists at Israel and, by extension, us. The problem is that should the Iranians decide to put their children where their blowholes are, a war between Iran and Israel combined with the usual hijinks that engulf the Mideast would likely conflate into a global shooting war. Such a war would put the entire planet a hair's breadth from nuclear conflagration, especially considering the Iranian pursuit of nuclear weapons and Islamofascists' general tendency to demonstrate the same restraint as Michael Moore at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Amid this theater of the armed and absurd, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta acknowledged last week during testimony in front of the Senate that the Administration of President Barack Obama does not think it requires Congressional approval to involve the United States in a shooting war.
"…our goal would be to seek international permission. And we would come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this…"
While Panetta's admission was hardly groundbreaking — Obama has already made it clear that he believes himself to be above trivialities such as Constitutional dictates and the separation of powers — the timing is worth noting. Of late, the Democrats have been pressing the idea that the Republicans are pushing them toward war. But Panetta's statement that Obama neither needs nor cares about Congressional approval belies their halfhearted protests.
Despite — or perhaps because of — the Democrat's ludicrous attempts to make their sock puppet Sandra Fluke the story of the season, Obama is struggling as November approaches. The newest polls show him losing to Mitt Romney, his approval numbers are horrendous, and his intended centerpiece of his legacy (Obamacare) is less popular than a bar of soap in an Occupy Wall Street squatters' camp. And the Democrats — defined by hypocrisy as they are — would gladly commit the Nation to war if they thought it might rescue Obama's electoral hopes.
If Israel wants to knock its Islamofascist irritants down a peg or two, it's welcome to it. I might even suggest that it's demonstrated impressive restraint, given the circumstances. But Obama campaigned on opposition to costly wars. To mire us in another would take him to a new low, especially considering the cuts he's made to our military. If we're going to avoid joining him, we should — we must — see past the distractions.

You know what the problem is with you young punk craft beer drinkers today? You don't know how good you've got it! Double IPAs everywhere, flowing like water! Heck, when I was your age, I had to trek over 100 miles uphill in the snow to get something even remotely hoppy! Oh, gosh, who am I kidding? I'm only 27. The fact is, *I* am a young punk, reveling in the bounty of lupulin-loaded libations at my fingertips.
But thinking back, it's crazy to see how far my tastes have come. And I know for a fact I'm not the only one who can say that. I remember tasting my first Stone IPA years ago… and absolutely hating it. (Sorry Greg. Sorry Steve. I was young and naïve!) It was so much more bitter than anything I'd ever had, and I was sure that I was not, and would never be, a hophead. But I remember telling a friend about my less-than-stellar experience, and he immediately replied, "Oh, you should try Ruination! It's their Double IPA!" Wait a tick; if their straight IPA was way too bitter for me, why in the hell would I want to try their Double IPA?! But my friend persisted, twisted my arm, held a gun to my head, and somehow got me to try a sip. And then… a HOPIPHANY.
Holy bitter breakthrough, Batman! What was this beautiful, citrusy magic I was tasting?! My eyes were opened. My worldview changed. I had seen the glory of the almighty hop, and it was good. Read More

It's that time again – back to school. Jerry and Maggie started today. Unlike last year, I didn't spend the day crying thank heavens. For me it was a mix of happy, sad, and rushing to get ready last minute. Jerry is going to a new school for 5th grade and the bus came for him first.
Yeah, it was too early for actual sunlight. Good thing I grabbed my flash at the last second! Considering he is going to a school where he doesn't know anyone, and will be in a more challenging environment, he was surprisingly calm. I've been thinking about him all day and I hope he's doing well!
Maggie, sweet Maggie, started first grade today. She popped out of bed with a smile on her face and didn't stop talking for one minute. She is excited about school. Her teacher said they will be having a classroom pet and that is obviously the most exciting news in the entire world. We did not know if Humphrey the Hamster would be there today, but I'm sure I'll get a full report when she gets home. Her bus was late so we had time for more pictures, in the daylight this time.
Where does the time go, exactly? Because I'd really like to know. It feels like we just did this.
Happy school days, everyone! I hope it's a great year!

NY Gov. Cuomo Proposes Buying Homes Devastated By Sandy To Preserve Flood Prone Areas

In a program proposed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York state could spend up to $400 million to buy out home owners whose properties were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. The $50.5 billion disaster relief package, which was passed by Congress last month, would be used to fund the program. If the program is adopted, homeowners would be relocated and their land would be left as a natural barrier to help absorb future floods waters. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

A friend introduced me to the world of Polish filmmaker, Zbigniew Rybczyński a few years back and I was so blown away that to to this day, my gratitude is such that should said friend kill my family, I'd probably have to forgive him. The short films made by Rybczyński during his stint with Poslish animation studio, Se-ma-for, he produced some of the most mind-blowing short films I've ever seen, including the film in question, TANGO.
I'm not easily seduced by technical virtuosity, but I believe TANGO deserves some sort of exemption due to the single-minded audacity of the production. Here's Rybczyński's description of the film, including some staggering technical details:
"Thirty-six characters from different stages of life – representations of different times – interact in one room, moving in loops, observed by a static camera. I had to draw and paint about 16.000 cell-mattes, and make several hundred thousand exposures on an optical printer. It took a full seven months, sixteen hours per day, to make the piece. The miracle is that the negative got through the process with only minor damage, and I made less than one hundred mathematical mistakes out of several hundred thousand possibilities. In the final result, there are plenty of flaws ® black lines are visible around humans, jitters caused by the instability of film material resulting from film perforation and elasticity of celluloid, changes of colour caused by the fluctuation in colour temperature of the projector bulb and, inevitably, dirt, grain and scratches."
– Zbig Rybczynski –Looking to the Future – Imagining the Truth," in FranÐois Penz, Maureen Thomas, Cinema& Architecture. Mþliús, Mallet-Stevens, Multimedia, BFI, London, 1997
Rather than being an avant garde curio, TANGO won the 1983 Oscar for best short film, which prompted a move to New York where he went on to direct music videos from some of the biggest artists of the day like Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono, John Lennon and Lou Reed. So we're talking a pretty heavy hitter here.
Without further adieu, please enjoy Zbigniew Rybczyński's, TANGO:

Re: I need help on pushups
Do inclined pushups to begin. Begin by doing wall pushups and gradually work your way down to something waist high. Before you know it you will be able to do standard pushups and eventually do declines!
It's all a process and definitely takes time so don't get discouraged. Set small goals and do them often throughout the day.

Re: I need help on pushups
Do pushups every commercial you watch.
Do pushups every hour on the hour, even at work.
Start with on your knees and work up to full pushups. Make sure you perfect the correct form.
Start with your chest on the ground and push up, since going down isn't an issue.
Re: I need help on pushups
Also about the Push ups, what muscles you use when doing the push-up depend on your position upon doing them :ex. the more you spread your arms when you do a push-up the more you use your pectoral muscles (chest) but if you bring your arms in more you use your triceps more. I have more endurance in my chest then i do my triceps so i bring my arms out, almost as much as they'll let me (pt test). When it concerns running though a lot of it concerns on how you breathe, my cross country couch always use to tell me to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. of course that's distance, if your sprinting though you should breathe less when initiating the sprint and when you reach what you think is your top speed start breathing in and out through your mouth, also when your sprinting swing your arms more; (you usually only sprint when your racing to the finish line to deplete the rest of your energy). You should try to go out an run when you can and always remember to jog a bit before you start your run (warm-up) after your warm-up you should stretch;and after your run you should stretch and that stretch should be longer in duration than the pre-workout stretch. As long as you apply yourself I swear you'll get better and you will improve on your push-ups and your run, and i hope what ive said helped.

I realized that no matter how strong my chest was my front deltoids and triceps were always on fire.
I trained my deltoids and triceps more closely. I began maxing my push-ups in the APFT.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't practice doing push-ups daily just to get comfortable performing in that position. Because throughout the training phase and particularly during BCT you will get smoked at any time of the day or night whether it's your fault or not.
Re: I need help on pushups
Every time that you walk through the door of your room, do 5 push-ups. Overtime bump it to ten. This can supplement your routines.
Re: I need help on pushups
start on your knees with wide arms. slowly work your arms in and then get on your feet for standard push-ups. I had my wife doing 10 regular push-ups in a week doing this. After that you can start the push-up push workout which you can find on military.com. Just Google push-up push workout and you'll find it. For running you want to alternate days where you run for distance one day and the next day do sprint intervals. If you aren't a good runner i'd start with 10 straight mins of running where you sprint for 30 seconds and then jog for a minute and repeat that for 10 mins. the better you get you can increase the sprint time and decrease the rest/jogging time. You'll find this to improve your time the fastest. I dropped 30 secs in a week off my mile time with this

Good luck to you
To do pushups fast you can start doing them on your knees this will help in increasing your strength. In starting you should aim in doing up to 8 to 10 pushups and after that stake a break. Start the process again and this time increases the number of push-ups. You can see improvement fast.

Most treatment procedures in AIDS-related lymphomas disclose a relatively poor outcome for patients with low response rates, high number of relapses and AIDS events. The addition of rituximab to the standard regimen - CHOP could improve the outcome of these patients. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rituximab when added to the CHOP regimen in patients with newly diagnosed AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

HIV infection is associated with a high incidence of AIDS-related lymphomas (ARL). Since the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the incidence of AIDS-defining illnesses has decreased, leading to a significant improvement in survival of HIV-infected patients. The incidence of ARL has decreased in a lower degree and lymphoma remains the major cause of death of HIV patients. Most treatment procedures disclose a relatively poor outcome of patients with low response rates, high number of relapses and AIDS events. Since the majority of HIV-associated NHL are CD20-positive the addition of rituximab to the standard regimen - CHOP could improve the outcome of these patients

Ed.D. in Educational Leadership
National Louis University's Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.) is a three-year, advanced practitioner-oriented professional preparation program for school district or system leaders. Though it officially targets endorsement for the superintendency, the Doctorate in Educational Leadership program prepares educators for a variety of roles in schools, districts, charter organizations, technical assistance organizations, policy and political organizations, and government.
Consider getting your doctorate of education in educational leadership at NLU if you:
- Want to pursue your superintendent endorsement (formerly educational leadership certification) or other educational leadership credentials as stipulated by state or district requirements in your area
- Are interested in a blended program where you experience online learning along with regular face-to-face meetings
- Possess the desire and determination to complete your degree in three years
Combining structured curriculum through coursework and internship experiences, the program integrates theory, research and practice into a cohesive plan of study for educational leaders. The focus will be on:
- Teaching and Learning
- Change Leadership
- Policy Analysis and Advocacy
There are two options for students admitted to the Doctorate in Educational Leadership (EDL) doctoral program.
- Option One: Students seeking the superintendent's endorsement in addition to earning the doctoral degree. Students choosing option one must hold an Illinois Professional Educator License endorsed for general administrative or principal licensure, Wisconsin Type 51, or other state-approved principal's endorsement upon admission. Students admitted to this option must complete all 60sh of the program, including EDL690 Educational Leadership Internship, and are then eligible to apply for the Illinois or Wisconsin Superintendent Endorsement.
- Option Two (available in Illinois and Wisconsin only): Students not seeking the superintendent's endorsement. Students choosing option two may be admitted without an Illinois Type 75 or its equivalent, Wisconsin Type 51, or other state-approved principal's endorsement. However, this option does not lead to endorsement, either principal or superintendent, upon completion of the program. Students admitted to this option must complete all 60sh of the program, including EDL690 Educational Leadership Internship, but are not eligible to apply for principal certification or the superintendent endorsement. In addition to admission requirements set forth by the Foster G. McGaw Graduate School, applicants for doctoral study in Educational Leadership are to document evidence of at least two years of leadership in the educational field. During the admission interview, the applicant is asked to share educational background, experience, career and research interests, and applicability of this program to the applicant's goals.
Candidates may bring in up to 12 semester hours from another doctoral program if approved by faculty and not part of another
degree program that has been completed.
Employment of education administrators is expected to grow by about eight percent through the remainder of the decade. The expected growth is primarily the result of increased enrollments of school-aged children. The number of administrative positions will continue to increase as more administrative responsibilities are placed on individual schools, particularly with regard to monitoring student achievement. Student enrollment in post-secondary schools is projected to grow more rapidly than in elementary and middle schools.
NLU's has a long-standing reputation for its education and teacher training programs, and is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Since 1886, NLU has trained thousands of educators and continue to graduate the majority of Illinois' Golden Apple Award winners — one of the most prestigious teacher honors in the state.
The three-year educational leadership doctoral program is offered in a cohort format. Cohorts may meet one weekend per month in a weekend residency with classes held on Friday night, Saturday morning and afternoon. Cohorts are also offered in the more traditional model of meeting every week on a specified weeknight. All cohorts have a strong online presence using our Learning Management System for discussions, retrieval of materials, and submission of assignments. The dissertation is ongoing throughout the program and is complete at the end of the third year. In addition, the internship component is completed during the three years with students working closely with a faculty internship advisor and practicing superintendent.
All applicants must meet NLU's general admission requirements as well as additional requirements specific to this program. Refer to the appropriate application checklist available online at nl.edu/applyonline.
Get more information today about enrolling at NLU. Connect with an Enrollment Specialist.
Please note: The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) may change the state licensure and endorsement requirements at any time and without prior notice. Teacher candidates will be bound by the requirements in place when applying for licensure, not by the licensure requirements in place when beginning their program. That is, the state may specify that a new regulation is immediately applicable to all candidates with no provisions made for candidates who began their work on licensure under different regulations.

Tim-One wrote:Our journey is short. It only takes 24 hours. Then we get a new journey on the same road. I hope I never get to the end. That would mean God is finished with me.
For me... it's shorter than that! The distance is the inches between my head and my heart... and the speed of thought is faster than the speed of light! My journey in life is one heart-beat and one-thought at a time! And, as long as I stay in this moment of understanding... I can experience the awareness of practicing a conscious presence of God, as I understand God. And, as long as I do that -- I'm with the Alpha and Omega... where there is no beginning and there is no end. I in Him and He in Me -- and In Him I live and walk and have my being... Therefore, I and Him and the Journey are One.
Jim W. mentioned, the key above: Integrity. Integrity is acting, doing and being at one with the truth of "what is" -- To do this -- my head and my heart and my actions -- need to line-up in the same place -- at the same time -- honestly, within myself and with others -- just as if God is really present with me -- even during the times that I don't think He is around and that truth is not important.
Integrity is like a sledge-hammer on the Ego. It keeps it flat and straight to it's Higher Purpose.
Tim-One wrote:"In the counsel of many is wisdom."
That is SO true!!!
Unfortunately, it is also true... that at times... "the counsel" of the "many" ... is far from Wisdom -- because "the many" are not consciously seeking the Presence and Giver of True Wisdom. And, for this reason, I believe that it's important for me to make effort and take actions to improve my conscious contact with God, as I understand Him, asking for the knowledge of His will for me, the power to carry it out... and the Wisdom to know the difference.
If I seek and act -- with Honesty and Integrity -- being "At One" with "What is"... I'll be standing on the safety of Higher Ground.
Will I make mistakes? Of course, I will. I am blessed to be an imperfect person! And, my "mistakes" will simply be lessons to be learned during the search of Wisdom!

This study discusses an off-label use of rituximab for the treatment of MCL.Presenter: W. Hiddemann
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
MCL carries a poor prognosis and there are no standardized regimens. Promising results have been shown with the inclusion of rituximab to the FCM regimen and rituximab has significant clinical activity in MCL as single agent. Unfortunately, the progression free survival and the overall survival remain poor. This study compared CHOP and R-CHOP regimens as first line therapy in patients with MCL. R-CHOP induced better CRs and longer TTF. PFS was not improved by the addition of rituximab. The different regimens applied after CHOP/R-CHOP induction may partly account for the lack of differences in PFS. These data are encouraging and further studies with a larger number of patients with stratification by prognostic risk factors and longer follow-up time to evaluate overall survival are needed.

He didn't hit for any kind of special power, and didn't get on base very effectively. Delmon Young has a career batting line .282/.316/.423, and everybody is always saying how terrible he is, even at hitting. Don't get caught up in Machado's offensive skills; the majority of his value lied in his defense. I'm not saying he wasn't good offensively, or that he doesn't have a chance to be, but his offensive value was no where near Davis & Jones IMO.

"My family loved these treats! I also made some with white chocolate too. They were such a big hit I've made several batches just this year :)"
"My family expect these every Christmas, but without the marshmallow creme. In fact I made 156 of these today. The freeze very well."
"I've been making these for 3 years now. When I first found this recipe I must of missed the marshmallow creme, so I've been making them without (and will continue to do so). I've used both white and dark chocolate. The first time I made this was for a family gathering. I covered some completely with chocolate and some just half. Most people liked them with just half the chocolate. I like to store and eat these right out of the fridge...YUM! I put the peanut butter into a ziplock back and pipe it onto the cracker. Much faster and less mess!"
"I've made these twice. I used Ritz crackers and Nutella instead of PB since my grandson loves Nutella...so yummy!"
"Oh my! These are so yummy! I wasn't sure if I'd like them so only made 6 at first, but once I tasted one, I made another big batch - my family loved them too! The only thing I changed is I used Ritz crackers."

Last week, Michael Diaz compared the minor league numbers of Brad Emaus and Justin Turner, two of the competitors for the Mets' second-base job this spring.
Here's the problem with Emaus, he's never hit outside of Las Vegas above advanced-A. Last season, playing as a 24-year-old in AAA, he hit .298/.395/.495 with 25 doubles, 10 HR and 50 BB and 50 K in 309 AB in 87 games. Statistically oriented people salivate over his 1:1 BB:K ratio. That's all good stuff, but there's a major missing piece of information.
Check out his home and road splits.
Home: .338/.408/.609 – 12 2B, 1 3B, 9 HR, 17 BB, 27 K – 41 G, 151 AB
Road: .259/.383/.386 – 13 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 33 BB, 23 K – 46 G, 158 AB
Whoa, one road home run in 46 games? A road isolated slugging percentage of .127? Even Luis Castillo would be unimpressed.
Las Vegas is a great place to hit. At over 2,000 feet, the ball travels well in the dry, hot air. The heat bakes the infield and makes it play fast. As a team, the 51s hit .307/.366/.506 at home and .280/.352/.451 on the road in 2010.
The weighted three-year average on Las Vegas' park multplier at BBTF is 1.06 on runs created, 1.06 on hits, 1.08 on doubles and 1.01 home runs. That means that Vegas's Cashman Field gave up 6% more hits and 8% more home runs than the Pacific Coast League average. In 2010, the factor on home runs was 1.03 driving the overall up to 1.07. That doesn't nearly explain the discrepancy between Emaus' home and road production.
Emaus' road performance in 2010 is not an outlier. In fact, it's perfectly in line with his 2009 production in AA. As a 23-year old, he hit .253/.336/.376 with 28 doubles, 10 home runs and 59 walks against 69 strikeouts in 505 AB over 137 games for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. For what it's worth, New Hampshire played has been hitter's park with a 1.03 park multiplier in the three-year weighted averages.
There's no denying Emaus' tremendous plate discipline and the most valuable thing a batter can do is simply reach base. However, he just hasn't hit for any power outside of Las Vegas in the last two years.
Mike wrote that Emaus can "handle third." That's true enough in that he played more third than second in 2010 with Vegas, but he didn't play it all that well, committing 20 errors in 76 games at the hot corner. He was error-free in 10 games at second, however. He played second exclusively in 2009 with AA, committing 16 errors in 137 contests.
Where does this leave Emaus? Still competing for second-base job. I'm just more skeptical today about his bat making him an asset at the big league level than I was a week ago.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
General Colin L. Powel served 35 years in the Army, rising to the top rank of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He served as an advisor to three U. S. presidents, and has been nominated by President Bush to service as the 65th Secretary of State. But General Powell has a passion most people may not know about: kids.
Not just his own, but the nation's kids. General Powell was instrumental in the creation of America's Promise, and since 1997 has served as chairman of the program, America's Promise - The Alliance for Youth.
His dream has spread to Castle Country and more than 50 people from several schools, agencies and businesses gathered last Tuesday, September 17 to kick off the fall campaign. According the Greg Cowan, who chairs the Castle Country's Promise, the group was formally known as Carbon County Caring Adults Program, "but when we began expanding into Emery County we wanted a name that would include the entire area we serve," he said at a luncheon, hosted by Castle Country Youth Center.
The local group was organized in January of 2000 and operates as a nonprofit agency in conjunction with CEU's volunteer center. "We are all about youth of the area," explained Cowan, adding, "our mission statement is to bring hope to local youth through five promises."
These promises and the people who chair the committees include Caring Adults, chaired by Greg Cowan. This program is operated through mentoring, tutoring and coaching. The safe places with structured activities during after school hours is headed by Romella Urrutia and Tara Compaign. The third committee is healthy start and future and is chaired by Anne Mackiewicz. Marketable skills through effective education is lead by April Durrant and the fifth promise is opportunities for youth to give back through community service, a committee headed by Kathy Murray.
The kickoff meeting last week gave each of the committee chairs a chance to discuss their work and goals and recruit new volunteers to serve on their committee. They identified goals and developed an implementation plan toward each promise at this meeting.
There are over 550 promise communities throughout the nation.
Guest speaker at the event was Steven Burge, who has worked in several capacities that affect children. As a youth tracker, a former high school teacher, an attorney and now director of the criminal justice program at CEU, Burge talked about the program and the committee's crusade to build character and competence of young people. "We can really affect and improve the competence of our youth," he said, adding that "miracles do happen, changes are made, and families do grow."
He discussed five truisms beginning with the fact that "families are the conditions of our society. We need solid growth in families to reach youth so they have the best chance to make an impact on our community," he said.
Family problems are the first predictor of youth problems said Burge who adds that the focus must address this issue. He pointed out that there are two million people in jail currently. "We must refocus our recourses to take a greater look at education and intervention," said Burge.
His third item pointed out that crime is really isolated into a small group, stating that only 1.5 percent of youth commit 60 percent of our crimes in Carbon County. "There has been a steady decrease in crime throughout the 90's," he said.
Burge pointed out that "We preach to the choir and also punish the choir." He added that "we are sometimes too tough, not letting kids be kids."
One of his questions to the group was, "are we giving kids the freedoms to grow and the opportunities to learn and develop."
The final point was that often it takes a significant person in a kid's life to influence them, "give them the spark or push."
He talked about nothing to do and identified problems of small towns compared to bigger cities. "We sometimes have an identity problem here because we are too small for the excitement and opportunity of larger communities and too big for the flexibility of a small and slower paced community."
He talked about building a youth recreation center and challenged the group to "dare to be bold."
Following Burge's comments the various chair people discussed ways to expand their committees and several ideas were thrown out and talked about. These ideas included everything from transportation issues to job shadowing.
A new student grant at CEU was announced where scholarships are available to students who volunteer in the community.
Two additional opportunities this fall include Join Hands Day towards the end of October and Service Day.
For more information or to volunteer on one of the committees, contact Greg Cowan at 637-5195 or visit the website at email@example.com.

German Steiff "LariFari" Story Character Doll
I found this very unusual Steiff Doll named LariFari this weekend at a doll show in the Boston area. He is from the early 1950's and based on a German story character. Does anybody know anything else about the German character LariFari? Thanks!

The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women in the United States. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
NBCF's mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
NBCF is one of the most recognized and respected breast cancer charities in the world. Since 2003, NBCF has received the highest 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, America's premier charity evaluator. Each year, over 80% of NBCF revenue is directed to their life-saving programs, and because of that, NBCF has grown by 20% each year since 2005. Help for today... Hope for tomorrow.®
During the month of October in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ironcompany.com® will donate 10% of all revenue from the sales of pink colored and pink themed workout gear, exercise equipment, and fitness accessories to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Outfit yourself in pink lifting gloves, lifting straps, weightlifting belts, MMA training gloves, and hand wraps. Group workout classes will benefit from pink gel grip bars, aerobic dumbbells, yoga mats, and cardio strength sets. Cross-training enthusiasts will strengthen and condition through use of pink sandbags and USA-made pink camo kettlebells. Support the cause by purchasing PINK in October!
Be sure to look for the Pink Ribbon and NBCF logos on all products that quality for this charitable donation.

They were distraught to find out the person taking care of their home hosted a party there while they were still on vacation.
Neighbors called police at about 10:37 p.m. Monday when they thought someone was breaking into the home in the 300 block of River Street. What police found was a party with about 30 people, said Spring Lake/Ferrysburg Police Chief Roger DeYoung.
"Of course, they all run when the police come," said DeYoung, indicating there could have been more.
A 17-year-old Spring Lake teen was arrested that night for hosting a minor in possession of alcohol party, DeYoung said.
"He was supposed to be watching a house while the people were out of town," DeYoung said.
In all, officers wrote four or five tickets for minors in possession of alcohol. There could be more to come, DeYoung said, as the incident is still under investigation.
The Ottawa County Prosecutor's Office is also reviewing possible other drug or alcohol charges, DeYoung said.
The homeowner said the house was trashed.
"You can imagine the amount of damage 35 teenagers can do with drugs and alcohol involved, Doug DerVartanian said. "We have dozens of pairs of shoes and coats at home left behind when people ran."
One parent stopped by to retrieve his child's belongings, but the items were not being released yet, Der Vartanian said.
"We're terribly disappointed in everybody who was involved," he said.

In the U.S. one in five patients suffers from preventable hospital readmissions. Those readmissions are responsible for $17.4 billion of the current $102.6 billion Medicare budget. With health data growing 35% per year you would think that the wealth of knowledge would be pushing this number down. In the HIMSS Industry Solutions webinar, IBM ECM Strategy and Market Development Director, Craig Rhinehart explains that 80% of the data collected by health organizations is unstructured data, which includes what the doctor writes in his notes section. This unstructured data is messy and often seen as an analytics blind spot, but also contains key medical facts.
Seton Healthcare uses IBM's Content and Predictive Analytics to access and leverage more relevant clinical and operational information to drive better decision making. The most surprising part of this was that all the data that was thought to be important….Wasn't. In a study of patients who were readmitted within a 30 day period using 113 candidate predictors from structured and unstructured data sources it turns out the structured data was less reliable than the unstructured data.
Rhinehart gives a wonderful example of how in a structured data section such as a checkbox the patient may have selected "Non-Smoker" but this could mean that he has been smoking for 20 years and quit yesterday, which a doctor may not consider a non-smoker. The doctor could indicate this in his notes which were previously unused but are now being utilized by IBM Content Analytics.
The numbers show that the unstructured social data on a patient, including living arrangements and substance abuse, was a much more useful in the doctors making correct medical decisions to reduce the patient's chances of readmission. The data showed that ejection fraction (volumetric fraction of blood pumped out of the heart with each heart beat) and smoking were important indicators for heart failure but not readmissions.
To know more about what drives readmissions in CHF patients and how IBM's solution can help in reducing hospital readmissions view the HIMSS Industry Solutions webinar

This is my first quilting project. Finally completed! The fusible flower patterns are from Melinda Bula's book Cutting Garden Quilts. It is many firsts: machine applique, free motion quilting, fusible web, needle painting, and binding! I really enjoyed this project and learned a lot.
What an amazing first quilt! Congrats, it's beautiful!

Simply Stunning! Congratulations.
It is beautifully done: I love the selection of fabrics, the contrast, how it lies so nice and flat. You should be proud of your work,
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make, and I sure did learn a lot.
Thank you! I really enjoyed making this, despite many mistakes, because I loved the colors. It didn't matter if it wasn't perfect the first time, I really liked the fabric, thread, and colors.
Thank you! I really did enjoy this project. I loved the fabric, too! And the threads added a sheen that made it really exciting. Thank you for your very kind comments.
This is beautiful and such good work. I have the same book and love flowers and gardening, the colors and being outside, so I know what you mean. I think that enjoyment of color and flowers shows in your work. You inspire me to try something from Melinda's book as well! I have been thinking about and visualizing for awhile now; it's time to try.

Suzanne, thank you for your amazing post and wonderful comments. I feel the same way about colors, flowers, and gardening. I really wanted to learn to quilt, but I didn't find a block pattern that got me as excited as doing those echinacea flowers!. I think that's why I selected a project from Melinda's book, too! I am so glad that my project has inspired you to create something you have been thinking about and visualizing. Your comments have inspired me also! I have many irises growing in my yard, and I would like to try making an iris next. Can't wait until you share your project.
Lynn W in CA
What a lovely quilt! And it's your first?!! Congrats on trying out all the techniques first time out and having everything turn out so well. It looks like a great start to many more quilting adventures!
Thank you, Dawn! I hope to one day attempt an art quilt all on my own! Thanks for your encouragement!
Very well done.....I am sure that this will be the first of many!
you must continue with your patchwork and quilting as it will be very fruitful for years to come!
Thank you, Debbie! I'm having a time with the next one. Actually, I think I may be trying to do the impossible. I am attempting to hand applique a stencil to the top of another wall hanging, and I think the stencil is going to be too thin. I hate to let it go because it would be beautiful. Great learning opportunity, though!
Lynn Williams
Yes, congrats! You did a great job. I like it.

Improved chip architecture and algorithms deliver greatly expanded functionality with further refinement in image quality. Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in low light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance adjusts differences between light and dark areas to achieve even more natural-looking results. The faster processing speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability while maintaining full image quality. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a new, highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single type of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes several areas of the image to determine whether different adjustments are needed, for example, for the main subject and the background.

Melo Closed the Door
The team with the superstar won this one… #Knicks
— Tommy Beer (@TommyBeer) December 10, 2012
Tommy DeeIf you're not following Tommy Beer on Twitter you have to be. This statement is so true and it's what separates teams in the NBA. These games are critical for playoff seeding. Yes, I know it's just December, but they add up and Melo's presence in the 4th quarter essentially closed out the victory. Melo had 11 points over the final 6:40 of the game to shut the door on his old team. This is the reason why you make the trade. Gallinari is a nice player, a solid player, but he can't win you a game by himself. The game was there for the taking and Melo took it. That's what superstars do and that's what separates superstars from very good NBA players.
I loved Alan Hahn's thoughts when asked what his lead would have been if he were still writing. You know we agree…

12 or more teams would be interested in Dickey
In the event the Mets decide to trade R.A. Dickey, 12 or more teams could be interested, major league executives recently told Andy Martino of the Daily News.
"It makes sense that they would think about selling high on him," a National League talent evaluator told Martino. "There would obviously be a lot of interest."
Martino says associates believe is genuine in his desire to retain Dickey. However, while he is open to other viewpoints, "there is far more talk about dangling the popular ace than Jon Niese, another pitcher who rivals say would draw significant interest."
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Last week, I said I put trading Dickey or signing Dickey at 50 percent. I think it's one or the other, though, since I can't see Alderson keeping Dickey on just a one-year deal knowing his value is super high right now. I've also had MLB insiders predict Dickey could fetch one near-ready, upper-level prospect, in addition to two, maybe three mid-to-lower level prospects.
The teams that make sense seem to be the Brewers, D-Backs and A's, though that is an educated guess by people with knowledge of this year's overall trade market.
I like that Martino tied Dickey to Niese, because I actually think the decisions are connected. My sense is that if Dickey can be signed to an extension, knowing he's a short-term play, the team could move Niese and Lucas Duda for an immediate-impact, outfield bat. However, if there is no hope with Dickey returning, the Mets might choose to trade him (and keep Niese) for prospects to help down the road… plus they'd add back Dickey's $5 million in to the available budget. I think it's one or the other, though, not both.

Of course, a banjo only sounds as good as its strings, and with a wide variety available to you, you're sure to find a perfect sound for your next jam or practice session. You would think that choosing a set of strings would be a simple process, but you wouldn't be entirely correct. There are a few factors to look into when you're picking out your strings. First, you're going to make sure you have the correct number of strings. A pack of four strings won't do a lot of good for your five string banjo, so make sure the package you choose is going to meet your needs. Next, you'll want to think about the gauge of the strings. If you like a stiffer feel to your strings, try the Elixir Medium Polyweb Banjo Strings. Or, if you prefer a lighter tone, you might prefer the D'Addario JS60 Stainless Steel Light Banjo Strings. Maybe you prefer something in between the two? Try the "Almost Medium" stainless steel strings from GHS. There are so many variations that it's best to try a few different gauges to understand which work best for you. Maybe you're more interested in the sounds of a specific artist. If that's the case you will almost certainly be interested in the Earl Scruggs strings from Gibson. Scruggs name is practically synonymous with the banjo and these strings are crafted with the excellent note definition that is signature to his style. In the end, your choice of banjo strings will come down to which ones feel best in your hands. You'll know when you start playing and everything clicks. From Dueling Banjos to Dirty Old Town, your banjo will sound great in no time with a new set of strings.
