McElroy Sits Out Practice With Concussion — OUT Against Bills
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
The Jets announced today that Greg McElroy won't be suiting up for the Jets this week due to a concussion Mac sustained during the course of the Chargers game.
So who does this mean will be starting this weekend against the Bills?
You can't make it up … but of course … it's Mark Sanchez.
Step Slow — McElroy looked confounded last week and something seemed wrong the more the game went on. Late in the game the second year QB's head was down, he was shuffling around the pocket and his reads were too slow. It was hard to tell though whether it was just a young quarterback dealing with a game moving too fast or something worse. McElroy might not be a fireballer or a worldbeater, but in the back of my mind it occurred to me that something might be wrong … now hearing the news confirmed what I couldn't put a finger on but saw Sunday. How did the Jets not know something was going on with him – they've seen him practice, right? It's hard to blame McElroy for not saying anything — this might be his one chance — but didn't anyone who knows him (far better than I do) not notice something was amiss?
Everyone Hates Tim Tebow — At least on the Jets coaching staff. Tebow might be a lot of things, but this decision is the first absolute proof to me that the Jets will have nothing to do with Tebow after this season ends and probably spells the end for Mike Tannenbaum. The Jets will try and trade him and if there's no takers, cut him before the new league year begins. The team had a last minute chance to rethink their quarterback decision over the final two games after the way McElroy played (even if he was injured) last week. An opportunity to see what Tebow might deliver to the organization next year and they've decided against it. I'm no Tebow wonk, but "squandered" is the word that comes to mind.
Redemption for Sanchez? — Good luck to you Mark, but I've already mentally checked out. Sanchez will most likely be on this team next year and be given the chance to "compete" for his job. No matter what one thinks of Sanchez, he is the most overvalued quarterback in the league. It's hard to blame him for it, but he lives and moves in a world that he doesn't deserve to be in – and that rankles Jets fans to no end. This is one last opportunity for Mark to put some not fecally infused film together as he goes into the offseason looking for another shot. If anything I hope it gives some team of suckers hope enough to look past the total trainwreck he's been for this organization. The fact that the Jets coaches and front office are like dogs returning to their own vomit is driving me slowly but ever increasingly insane.
Just a Few Days More — I know fans who have written me recently asking if they were bad fans because they just wanted this season to be over and while they had always been supportive of this organization that they were too fatigued with the nonsense of this team to get behind them the rest of the season. I've told them that they're not wrong or bad, that it's totally a reasonable response. Personally, I am praying for the sweet sweet release from the grip of this terrible season and all today's news did was make the next few days that much more unbearable. Credit the Jets coaching staff for sticking to their guns, for their dogged refusal to use Tebow as a backup, but it doesn't mean I have to like the way that the organization is being run. Fans and the team took exception to the slights about this team earlier in the year … that it was a circus … I'm not so sure I'd disagree right now with that (a then albeit premature) assessment at this moment in time.

Congratulations to my son and new daughter-in-law who gave me the great honor of acting as the officiant at their wedding. I am unsure but they are possibly the first to have their vows blessed by His Goodness in Tennessee. The paperwork went in without a snag and their certificate was received today.
May their lives be rich in sauce and their noodles never sticky.
Or something like that.

I am a current member of the National Guard, and for serveral years I have been using the Veterinary Services at our local AF base. I recently went in to scheduled an appointment and I was told I am not allowed to use these services as a Guard member. When I asked why the sudden change I was told the rule was always there, but it was never inforced. I asked to see the regulation that stated I was not eligible, but no reference was given. My question is, are Guard members authorized to use the veterinary services? Thanks for the help

On the battle map, it's like most strategy games. On your turn, you move your characters around a grid-based map and attack the enemy forces. As always in tactical RPGs, unit placement is key and strategy paramount. By placing your units adjacent to each other, you are able to gain an extra team-up attack in battle, for example, but this also leaves you open to area-of-effect enemy counter-attacks.
In actual battle, however, it plays like its predecessor, Namco x Capcom. Instead of using a standard turn-based battle system, you control your characters in real time for a period of about fifteen seconds (three or four attacks). During this time, you attempt to chain your different normal and team-up attacks into combos for maximum damage—making it far more fast-paced than your average strategy RPG.
To see the game in action, check out the video above.
Project X Zone was released on October 11, 2012, for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan. There are currently no plans for an international release.

NORFOLK - With a map of the Middle East on display in the front of the classroom, Congressman William L. Owens told students in Heather McCuins Global Studies class at Norwood-Norfolk Central School thats he not sure how he would vote on whether to take military action in Syria.
Mr. Owens visit to the class was part of a visit to the school on Friday that also included a walk-through of fifth-and sixth grade lunch and a tour of the districts elementary wing.
While in the Global Studies class, Mr. Owens said he gets a lot of inside information that he often uses when trying to make a decision on such things as whether to take military action against a country.
Ms. McCuin asked the congressman what sources he uses for reliable information, which prompted his comment on inside information.
I rely very little on the internet, he said. The stuff we focus the most on from the Congressional Research Service.
Mr. Owens did say though, that he also reads the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal each day.
When asked of his own involvement so far in the talks involving Syria, Mr. Owens noted that he participated in a conference call on Labor Day that included Secretary of State John Kerry. He also attended a briefing on the situation Monday.
I have not decided how I would vote, he said. I still have some unanswered questions.
With Russias involvement in the situation and the appearance that a non-violent resolution may be possible, Mr. Owens said that appears to be a step in the right direction.
Clearly what has happened with the possibility of a political solution is the best possible outcome, he said.
And while Russia and the U.S. may not be best friends on the global stage, Mr. Owens said that Russias involvement may not be as innocent as it seems.
He said the answer to why Russia is so concerned about chemical weapons in Syria lies simply with the geography of the region, noting there is a large radical Muslim population just south of Russia.
The answer lies right within the map, he said. On a global basis you can see how countries respond with their own personal interests.
Should Syria agree to surrender its chemical weapons, Mr. Owens said that would be the best possible outcome, as even the military action being discussed isnt one that would destroy the weapons. He also noted that Russia may be concerned about Syria distributing its chemical weapons across the region.
This is not a destruction of chemical weapons operation, he said. Were trying to degrade their ability to deploy. In the case we can get the Syrians to give up their chemical weapons, we will have achieved a greater outcome.
Norwood-Norfolk Superintendent Jamie Cruikshank then asked Mr. Owens whether he had any advice for the students, who are two weeks into their high school careers.
I was elected to Congress four years ago, he said. I was 60 years old, and I was a freshman.
He continued, The most important thing you can do is try to keep a steady pace of work, try to learn the fundamentals of the subjects youre taking.
Mr. Owens also advised students to keep a good sense of humor.
Make sure no matter what, you have a laugh every day. It will help you academically and emotionally, he said, suggesting that students could bring a short joke with them to school each day.
When asked what she though of the idea, Ms. McCuin said she could get material from The Daily Show to share in her classroom. During the congressmans visit, she was also joined in class by Peter McLean, who also teaches history in the district.
From there Mr. Owens made his way to the cafeteria, where he stopped by for some small talk with the districts fifth- and sixth-grade students, who were excited to meet someone famous.
While the visit came as a surprise to many of the students, Douglas Pryce said his mother told him the congressman was coming to visit the school.
My mom was talking about him yesterday, he said.
Several other students thought the fact a congressman would visit them and take a few minutes to chat with them was cool.
Its pretty cool and very interesting, said Jude Lauzon.
Caleb Pettit agreed, It feels pretty cool. I think its cool that he gets to work with the president.
Another student said that unless you count college hockey players he has never met anyone famous before.
Its never happened before, at least at this place, he said of meeting a celebrity or having a congressman stop by during lunch.
During a walk through of the districts elementary wing, Mr. Owens ran into one first-grade teacher, who wasnt afraid to voice her displeasure with the new Common Core standards.
Thats the message Im getting, he said. I have many teachers in my family who are providing me with information and feedback.
Superintendent Jamie Cruikshank agreed that implementing the Common Core has been a challenge.
The Common Core is certainly robust and there are some concerns with our teachers on the appropriateness of it, he said.
Mr. Cruikshank then gave the example of first graders being expected to read and answer questions on Mesopotamia.
Teaching about Mesopotamia with first graders... Its not that it cant be done, but the Common Core is very robust, he said, adding teachers are concerned about whether students are cognitively prepared for such lessons.
That being said, Mr. Cruikshank said he doesnt think the Common Core is going anywhere.
I dont think its going away. Common Core is here to stay, he said. Its a change from what our teachers and families are used to, but its up to the state Ed Department to provide the curriculum and its up to us to teach it.
Early in the visit, Mr. Owens also presented the district with a flag that had been flown over the U.S. Capitol.
We hope youll fly this at the school, he said.
Mr. Cruikshank said he was honored to receive the flag and noted that he would wait for a sunny day before flying it outside.
It is certainly an honor that he presented this flag to us, he said.
Mr. Owens said he enjoys visiting school and talking with students.
I think that for the kids to see an elected official came in and engaged in discussion with them gives them the view of us that we want them to have, that we are accessible, he said.
Mr. Cruikshank agreed.
It was really nice to see him relaxed and talking with the kids, he said.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney quipped during the first presidential debate on October 3 of President Obama's much-touted $90 billion in "green jobs" subsidies: "I had a friend who said: you don't just pick the winners and losers, you pick the losers." Romney noted that many of the solar and renewable energy firms given big bucks by the Obama administration went bankrupt despite millions — or even billions — in federal loans, loan guarantees, or cash grants.
After the debate, establishment press organs charged to the defense of Obama's Energy Department, claiming only a handful of firms funded by the government went bankrupt. CNN claimed it could find only five "green energy" subsidies where the recipient of federal largess went bankrupt. But the reality is that "green energy" subsidies not only have failed in almost every sense of the word, but have fueled corruption.
President Obama sold the nation on his $800 billion "stimulus" bill, the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, with the claim it would create or save some three million jobs. Nearly four years later, the best that the Obama administration's Recovery.gov website can boast is a mere 135,000 jobs created from the "stimulus" bill — costing more than $5 million per job. In at least 19 instances, firms that promised creation of "green jobs" went bankrupt. Dozens of others cut back on jobs after receiving huge federal taxpayer subsidies — rather than increasing employment. Together, these troubled "green" companies account for nearly $6.4 billion in taxpayer subsidies on the line.
Yet the Obama administration touted the "stimulus" bill as a success. And in one sense, it was a huge success: The stimulus gave a huge injection of cash into private alternative energy companies, which in turn donated to liberal political causes — including Obama's reelection effort — "green recycling," Washington-style. Though not always an explicitly tit-for-tat deal for beltway liberals, the green recycling machine definitely improved liberal Democrats' electoral funds by the millions — and their chances in the last election. And the green-energy taxpayer subsidies allowed billionaire Wall Street investment banks and trust-fund liberals to gamble with the tax dollars of cab drivers, waitresses, and other poor and middle-class Americans.

Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
The Next Generation in Motor Oil Technology
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to outperform conventional and synthetic motor oils. It combines industry-premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives in a unique formulation that exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. Signature Series delivers the performance and value upon which the AMSOIL reputation is built. The culmination of more than 40 years of expertise, its exclusive formulation raises the bar for motor oil performance.
Package sizes include:
A study of 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oils
Data Sheet
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the worlds first
API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL,
the First in Synthetics®, to do the best job protecting your engine.
Protects Your Engine
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It
develops a strong fluid film that keeps metal surfaces separated while its robust anti-wear
additives further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for maximum engine life.
In the Sequence IIIG test, which is normally run for 100 hours, AMSOIL Signature Series
Synthetic Motor Oil delivered outstanding wear protection for the camshaft and lifters, even
after doubling the test interval to 200 hours. For details, see the Double-Length Sequence
IIIG Engine Test Technical Study (G3320).
Maximizes Fuel Economy
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for optimum
fuel economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more
freely and reduce friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to
further improve energy efficiency.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those
recommended for conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive
system are inherently stable to resist oxidation and neutralize acids over longer periods.
Signature Series is designed to deliver outstanding engine protection, cleanliness and
performance over extended drain intervals. It reduces vehicle maintenance and waste oil.
Keeps Pistons Clean
Excess piston deposits can lead to pre-ignition and engine knocking, which results in lost
power, reduced fuel economy and, in severe cases, engine damage. Signature Series'
premium additives and naturally high resistance to extreme heat help keep pistons clean
for maximum engine performance. After a double-length, 200-hour Sequence IIIG engine
test, Signature Series demonstrated outstanding cleanliness properties and shattered the
requirements of a 100-hour test.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
Signature Series resists thermal (heat) breakdown better than conventional and synthetic
motor oils. It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to help prevent
sludge deposits and keep engines clean. Unlike conventional oils, Signature Series
contains no wax, staying fluid in sub-zero temperatures for easier starting, improved oil flow
and reduced wear.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions.
Signature Series resists volatility better than other oils, helping reduce oil consumption and
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is excellent for use in all types of
gasoline-fueled vehicles. It is recommended for all domestic and foreign vehicles
requiring any of the listed performance specifications:
5W-30 (ASL): API SN (Resource Conserving), SM…; ILSAC GF-5, GF-4…;
ACEA A5/B5, A1/B1; Honda HTO-06; Ford WSS-M2C946-A, WSS-M2C929-A;
Chrysler MS-6395; GM dexos1™ (supersedes LL-A-025, 6094M and 4718M)
Fortified with detergents that exceed dexos1™ sulfated ash specifications.
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible
with other conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL
motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil's life expectancy
and reduce its performance benefits. AMSOIL does not
support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils.
Severe Service: Primarily short trips (less than 10 miles [16
km]); turbo/supercharged engines; commercial or fleet vehicles;
excessive idling; first-time use of AMSOIL motor oil in a vehicle
with more than 100,000 miles; frequent towing, hauling, plowing
or driving in dusty conditions.
AMSOIL Ea® Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended
change intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and
last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use
AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters.

Explore the Natchez Trace: Mississippi | Alabama | Tennessee.
Discover America...a unique journey from Natchez to Nashville.
Overview: The Parkway
This historic, 444-mile scenic parkway links Natchez with Nashville and crosses some of the most beautiful terrain in the states of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. The Parkway has been declared a National Scenic Byway and an All-American Road and has been chosen as one of America's 10 best biking roads.
Open year-round for motorists, hikers and bikers, it provides visitors the opportunity for an unhurried trip through time. Maintained and administered by the National Park Service, the Parkway is headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi.
It began as a trail traveled by Indians and wild animals almost 8,000 years ago and in our recent history was used by Spanish explorers, British troops and later by Southern frontier settlers. During the eras of French, British and American settlement, the Parkway provided an important route between the interior highlands and the Lower Mississippi River Valley. With the arrival of the steamboat, the Parkway declined in importance as a major trade route and became a route for use by locals. The Natchez Trace Parkway was created by Congress in 1938 and today is one of the most used Federal roads in the National Park System. The route attracts visitors from across the United States, Canada and Europe. Its non-commercial environment coupled with a wide variety of historic sites and scenic venues make it one of America's treasures.
Overview: The Group
In an ambitious effort to promote visitation to the communities located on either side of the historic route, the Natchez Trace Compact, Inc. was formed in 1999.
Initially composed of five Mississippi cities – Natchez, Jackson, Ridgeland, Kosciusko and Tupelo, the Compact has now added the Mississippi communities of Port Gibson, Raymond, Clinton, French Camp and Tishomingo County, the Alabama cities of Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield and Tuscumbia, and the Tennessee cities of Collinwood, Hohenwald, Leiper's Fork, Franklin and Nashville. Additional communities in each of the states will be added to the Compact as the program's outreach expands.
In addition to the above cities, the state Tourism offices of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee are Compact members and work together to ensure a strong marketing partnership. The organization operates under a formal Memorandum of Understanding with the National Park Service.
Scope of the Project
The group's primary objective is to attract more visitors to travel the Parkway and take the time to explore all there is to see and do along the way.
The organization has identified target markets for an advertising program which include consumer, group tour and niche areas. The group has developed complete marketing, public relations and itineraries which are grouped geographically with the ability to link together, enabling the visitor to travel the full length of the Parkway with exciting "not to miss" recommendations. Niche areas include those interested in RVing, motorcycling and bicycling.
FY 2010 Accomplishments:
Group Organizational Highlights
* Held meetings at various locations along the Trace corridor.
* Continued to enhance and implement a 3-state strategy to market tourism activities.
* Operated under a marketing plan that included:
* Awarded Scenic Byways Marketing Grants from 2005 – 2009 by the Federal Highway Administration to enhance the marketing campaign.
* Completed the 2005-2006 Scenic Byways Marketing Grants, implementing the 2007-2008 grants and allocated the 2009 grant.
* Wrote a media and collateral material Scenic Byways Marketing Grant for the 2010 program (decision pending).
Established New Goals for FY 2011

Congressional Republicans and oil industry executives called for more U.S. gas production to counter rising prices that have been recorded across the country, The Associated Press reported.
According to the news outlet, Democrats have focused on conservation and the role of Wall Street speculators in driving up prices. Jack N. Gerard, chief executive officer of the American Petroleum Institute, told a House energy panel that the U.S. has a significant amount of resources that are not being tapped to their full potential.
The AP reported that Gerard noted President Barack Obama, who called for an "all-of-the-above" energy approach, has threatened the oil and gas industry with billions of dollars in tax increases.
"Mr. Chairman, this is sending the wrong message to the global markets. This needs to change," Gerard told the panel.
The New York Times reported that the current average price for regular-grade gasoline is $3.74 in the U.S., and recent forecasts have outlined how this could rise to $4.50 in places like California. Some analysts have speculated that the price may hit $5 a gallon.

Class of 1971
End >>> 5-9, 190
1932-1936 Chicago Bears, 1937-1939 Philadelphia Eagles, 1943 Phil-Pitt
William Ernest Hewitt. . .First to be named All-NFL with two teams - 1933, 1934, 1936 Bears, 1937 Eagles. . .Famous for super-quick defensive charge. . .Fast, elusive, innovative on offense. . .Invented many trick plays to fool opposition. . . Middle man on forward-lateral that gave Bears 1933 NFL title. . .Played without helmet until rules change forced use . . .Born October 8, 1909, in Bay City, Michigan. . .Died January 14, 1947, at age of 37.
Bill Hewitt is most often remembered for his stubborn refusal to wear a helmet. He finally donned headgear in his final NFL season but only because new NFL rules left him no choice. While an interesting sidelight, this should not overshadow the fact that Hewitt was one of the finest two-way ends ever to play football at any level.
Bill was a terror on offense but absolutely peerless on defense. An "iron-man" performer who averaged more than 50 minutes playing time each game, Hewitt had a zest for competition and a record for making the biggest plays in the toughest situations. He was always conjuring up new gimmicks to foil the opposition.
One of his special plays called for a jump pass from fullback Bronko Nagurski. Hewitt would in turn lateral to another end, Bill Karr, racing toward the goal line. It was this play that gave the Bears a victory in the NFL's first championship game in 1933, a 23-21 win over the New York Giants.
On defense, Hewitt became the first player to make the masses take their eyes off the football just to watch him stymie the opponent. Because he had a jet-propulsion start at the snap of the ball, the fans tabbed him "The Offside Kid," because they couldn't fathom anyone reacting so quickly without being offside.
Equally impressive was his tackling and his uncanny knack of diagnosing enemy plays. Hewitt was the first to admit he wasn't much of a player either in high school or at the University of Michigan. Once he reached the NFL, it was a different story. He was named all-league as a rookie by one major publication and repeated the honor in 1933, 1934,1936,1937, and 1938. The last two times he was selected as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

MASSENA The Local Government Task Force has formalized an agreement to hire the Wladis Law Firm, Syracuse, in an effort to persuade the New York Power Authority to agree to review the terms of the now decade-old relicensing agreement.
Massena Central School District and the Massena Town Board were the final two entities to give their approval for the Local Government Task Force to hire the law firm.
They have started doing their initial work and should be reaching out to the New York Power Authority soon, Massena Town Supervisor and Local Government Task Force Co-Chairman Joseph D. Gray said. Wladis is chomping at the bit. They want to get going.
The 2003 relicensing agreement provided benefits to the host communities for the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project. Within the agreement was a provision that NYPA and the host communities every decade could review and discuss issues not anticipated in 2003.
Mr. Gray has said the Local Government Task Force feels the relicensing agreement reached with the St. Lawrence-FDR project municipalities was considerably less fair than the package for entities within the Niagara Project boundaries in Western New York.
I also dont think that NYPA knew how much more electricity they would be generating with the new turbines. Its a lot, Mr. Gray said.
Town Councilman Albert N. Nicola acknowledged the Local Government Task Force might have fared better in its original negotiations on the relicensing agreement if it had retained legal counsel a decade ago.
If the original group had hired a firm like this, we might not be here today, he said.
Mr. Gray said Wladis will be paid a retainer of $100,000 and can obtain additional fees based on a percentage of any additional revenues the Local Government Task Force gains from the talks with NYPA. But he said the government entities likely wont have to dip into their own coffers to pay the legal fees.
Mr. Gray recommended the money owed the entities for a high flow adjustment for 2011, expected to be in the range of $190,000, be used pay the Wladis contract. The high flow in 2011 marked just the second time the entities have earned a high flow bonus since the relicensing agreement was signed in 2003.
Mr. Gray has said the entities will share in any expenses necessary during the negotiations and also will share any additional revenues that are generated by the talks with NYPA.
Revenues and expenses for the members of the task force are split on a percentage basis: St. Lawrence County, 32.78 percent; town and village of Waddington, 12.02 percent; town of Louisville, 8.96 percent; town of Massena, 14.2 percent; village of Massena, 1.1 percent; Madrid-Waddington Central School District, 9.28 percent, and Massena Central School District, 21.66 percent.
The review, as it moves forward, will provide an opportunity for the two parties to see whether significant circumstances have changed since the agreement was signed in 2003. Local officials, citing issues such as the closing of the GM Powertrain plant, believe that is the case.
Eight entities receive a portion of NYPAs $2 million annual Community Enhancement Fund distribution. St. Lawrence County Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said in a December memo to Local Government Task Force members that the money had been received from NYPA. He said the village of Massena received $22,000; town of Massena, $284,000; Massena Central School District, $423,000; town of Louisville, $179,200; town of Waddington, $160,266.67; village of Waddington, $80,133.33; Madrid-Waddington School District, $185,600, and St. Lawrence County, $655,600.

Buzz: Pettine Turned Down Extension?
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
Interesting scoop from Manish Mehta:
Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine has turned down a contract extension, per source. Not signed after end of this season.
Are we to read into this that Rex Ryan's job is safe, since the fact they offered him an extension would suggest they want to keep most of the defensive staff intact? Should we also be concerned that he doesn't want to stick around?
His main reason for turning down the extension could perhaps be that he wants to keep his options open, although if he was going to get a head coaching offer, then that's a higher position so the extension wouldn't prevent him from interviewing for and taking that job.
I'm sure we'll be better placed to process this information in due course, but in the mean time, feel free to speculate wildly as to what it means…

This week, we salute the Bonding to School asset, number 24.
I like to connect the community in the spirit of homecoming, during this week.
I did not grow up here, I did not attend the schools here, but I feel connected to them because of my children.
When I am at Chamisa Elementary, I am, indeed, a Cheetah. Although I do not currently have students in the middle school, I do a great deal of work with students and staff and when there, I feel like a Hawk. Finally I feel like a 'Topper and proudly wear my #16 jersey and soon, a delighful T-shirt, representing the NJROTC unit.
This week, we can all feel like 'Toppers as we view their spirit days from afar, take part in the LAYL bonfire, watch the parade or attend or listen to the football game.
This week, we can all take pride in the accomplishments of students, whether they are in the 'Topper band, part of the unit of Navy Color Guard or the elementary-age students that will sell cotton candy during the football game to raise money for physical education programs. Go Mr. Black!
This past week, we also celebrated the honor of receiving the award for one of the 100 BEST Communities for Young people from America's Promise and ING.

MARY TAMM - 1st Romana
?Some of the scripts we had a few problems with and we?d have to improvise and re-write? I mean Tom and I were very keen on re-writing scenes?? Mary was beginning to get very tired of sitting on the bank, and of having nothing to do? So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing so very remarkable in that, but it began one of MARY TAMM?s most extraordinary experiences. In the company of NICHOLAS BRIGGS she talks of her time travelling in the TARDIS while around her a curiously familiar sequence of events unfolds? 1990. Running Time: 46 mins approx.
JOHN LEESON ? 1st Voice of K9
?I was once sent in the post? a very very heavy envelope? and inside it was ball bearings! Some kid had decided that it was K9?s birthday and he needed some new ball bearings!? Ever wondered how to marinade a Yeti?? No? Well neither had a rather bemused NICHOLAS BRIGGS until he caught up with JOHN LEESON on location for the DOCTOR WHO drama DOWNTIME. Ten years earlier, it was all a lot easier for KEITH HARRISON when he interviewed JOHN for the second MYTH MAKERS. Life was simple then, you just sat down and had a nice chat about life and being the voice of K9. Now you have to run round the inside of the Doctor?s faithful robot companion, plus learn how to cook (and more importantly, how to catch) a Yeti! Well these are the ingredients, it?s all been cooking in the oven, so take your seats for dinner. Confused? Not half as much as NICK! 1995. Running Time: 55 minutes approx.

Which do you prefer and why?
I originally had this conversation with Lance on Twitter (@burndowntheyard) but wanted some input here.
I use fWAR more often but I think both are good for different things. I still can't decide whether I think ERA or FIP is better for pitching WAR.

Women's Wool Bottoms
- 0 Items
- 0 Items
You can't get more "green" than wool. Perfect for wearing as a base layer due to its ability to warm you when its cold, or cool you when its warm. Wool gets a bad rap for being itchy and uncomfortable but not anymore. With Merino wool, we can now wear it as close to your skin as possible keeping you dry and smell free. Wool does not retain body odor like synthetics and when you know you are going to be stuck in a tent with someone for a while, than grab a wool base layer and keep your friends. If you haven't used wool before here is your chance.

King Corn
Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat--and how we farm.

Aaaaaaaand Kanye's at it again. Word on the steets is that his new Yeezy 2 Nike kicks are creating quite the stir, boasting $90,000 eBay bids and causing fans of the rapper's Yeezy line of shoes to flip their lids.
Nike stores apparently got smart after the release of the first Yeezy shoe created mass chaos in 1990. They've implemented their Twitter RSVP Raffle in an effort to avoid bodily injury, the need to camp out for a week to get a pair, and to remind us that even as adults who apparently have a few hundred extra buckaroos to blow on sneakers we will never wear, we still present the need for extra special control measures via the Twitterverse.
Other stores that will carry the Yeezy 2 have followed suit, and implemented raffles of their own, as only a mere dozen or so pairs of shoes will be alotted to each store. Only about 5,000 pairs total are set to be released.
While pre-sale auctions are under way offering the shoe for anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000, the Yeezy 2 will go on sale this Saturday for a retail price of $245.
What do you think? Father's Day gift of the century?
Hey now – don't be jealous, ladies. Kanye's got something for us too. Pearlicious pumps from he and famed shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti are displayed for your viewing pleasure here.

Self-expandable Esophageal Stent Versus Balloon Tamponade in Refractory Esophageal Variceal Bleeding.
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
In the last years, important advances have been done in the treatment and prevention of esophageal variceal bleeding. Experts agree that the combination of pharmacological and endoscopic therapy should be the first line therapy in the acute bleeding episode; whereas TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) is considered a rescue therapy. Nevertheless, some patients would require different therapies to act as a "bridge" until definitive therapy can be instituted. Balloon tamponade (using the Sengstaken tube) represents, up to now, the most widely used temporary "bridge" to TIPS. However, balloon tamponade is associated with a high incidence of serious adverse events. Recently, the use of self-expanding metal stents have been introduced in the treatment of acute variceal bleeding showing a very high hemostatic efficacy with no adverse events. The present study is directed to compare the efficacy free of adverse events and mortality of self-expanding metal stents vs balloon tamponade in patients with variceal bleeding refractory to medical and endoscopic therapy.
Esophageal Varices
Device: Stent
Device: Tamponade

|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Esophageal Stent is More Effective Than Tamponade Controlling Refractory Esophageal Variceal Bleeding: a Randomized Controlled Trial
- Combined: bleeding + absence of severe adverse events + survival [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The primary endpoint combines absence of bleeding + absence of severe adverse events probably related to the study devices + survival during the first 15 days after inclusion in the study or at hospital discharge.
Patients to compare are those with liver cirrhosis and acute variceal bleeding (AVB) not controlled with combined pharmacological and endoscopic therapy (see definitions). Those patients will be randomized to receive a self-expandable esophageal stent (SX-Ella-Danis) or balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube.
- Bleeding [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]• Absence of bleeding at day 15th, 42nd and at 6 months from inclusion.
- Survival [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]• Survival at day 15th, 42nd and at 6 months from inclusion.
- Transfusional requirements [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]• Transfusional requirements (packed red cells, platelets and fresh frozen plasma).
- Adverse events [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]• Individual adverse events.
- Analgesia and sedation requirements [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]• Analgesia and sedation requirements
- Hospital stay [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]• Hospital stay
- Applicability of definitive hemostatic therapy. [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]• Applicability of definitive hemostatic therapy.

|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
The study will include all patients with cirrhosis admitted to the hospital because an acute esophageal variceal bleeding defined according to Baveno II criteria (5) and who will achieve the following criteria:
Failure to control bleeding despite pharmacological (somatostatin 3 or 6 mg/12h iv or terlipressin, 2mg/4h iv) AND endoscopic therapy (esophageal banding ligation preferably or sclerotherapy). Failure to control bleeding was defined, according to Baveno IV criteria (6), as evidence of continuous digestive bleeding and any of the following:
- Hematemesis (or naso-gastric aspirate > 100 ml of fresh blood) > 2h after the start of combined pharmacological and endoscopic therapy.
- Decrease in hemoglobin values > 3g vs previous values (without blood transfusion).
- Massive bleeding. Acute variceal bleeding uncontrolled despite pharmacological therapy started at any moment, with no need of previous endoscopic therapy. Uncontrolled bleeding is defined as an upper digestive bleeding in which no hemodynamic stability (systolic arterial pressure > 70 mmHg and heart rate < 100 bpm) could be achieved.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age < 18 years.
- Esophageal rupture.
- Esophageal, gastric or upper respiratory tract tumor.
- Esophageal stenosis.
- Recent esophageal surgery.
- Previous esophageal tamponade to treat the index bleed.
- Big hiatal hernia precluding the correct placement of the esophageal devices.
- Known hepatocellular carcinoma surpassing Milan criteria.
- Terminal disease.
- No written consent to participate in the study.

Peanut (legume) Allergy can be a life-long allergy affecting approximately 2% of the population. Peanut allergy is one of the most common causes of death due to food allergies. Three things characterize peanut hypersensitivity:
The most commonly reported symptoms seen with this kind of allergy include: atopic dermatitis (eczema), urticaria (hives), asthma, anaphylactic shock, digestive symptoms.
Common places you will find peanuts, peanut oils or trace amounts of peanut include:
As with most allergies, avoidance is key. Make sure to read all labels for foods, medicines, cosmetics, creams and ointments that may contain any type or amount of peanut. A history of allergic reactions shortly after exposure to peanuts might suggest an allergy. However, this should be confirmed with a skin prick test or RAST. Talk to your doctor about a complete diagnosis.

I salute Mr. Ike Boutwell on his stand not to show a movie that has the traitor Jane Fonda as a cast member. Her actions during the Vietnam War aided and abetted the enemy while we had our armed forces fighting in theater. There is no doubt in my mind that her actions of encouraging the North Vietnamese army led to direct casualties of U.S. armed forces.

Message to Alumni from the Board of Trustees Chair09/25/2009
Dear Saybrook Alumni,
This past June, I promised to periodically update you on progress we are making at Saybrook. I am very pleased to say that I have some wonderful news regarding developments at Saybrook to share with you.
First, we are now Saybrook University with three distinct colleges: the Graduate College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies, housing our traditional legacy programs in Psychology, Human Science, and Organizational Systems; graduate College of Mind-Body Medicine, the first WASC accredited program of its kind, and LIOS Graduate College, a 40-year old leading institution of experiential-based graduate learning and leadership training, based in Seattle which affiliated with Saybrook early this year. Though united as one institution, each of these three colleges will have their own distinct learning models.
However, one thing isn't changing-- the soul of the school. Saybrook University will remain the home of humanistic thought, in all its manifestations, inspired by the work of our founders. Their teachings will be carried into new fields and new forms of human endeavor through Saybrook University.
Saybrook University welcomed its first incoming class this Fall, 2009, and a robust new student enrollment of 170. This total - the combined total Fall '09 enrollment for all colleges - represents a significant growth of more than 50%.
To accommodate the new students, Saybrook has also revitalized its learning technology, creating a whole new cyber-environment for instructing courses, offering course materials, and helping students and faculty create an academic community. In addition, an entirely new website will be launching this fall. This new technology will make it easy for students, faculty, and alumni to compare notes, share information, and create an academic commons that combines scholarship with real-world applications.
Lastly, I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming three new Trustees to the Saybrook University Board: alumna Vicki Saunders, Brad Fisher and Rick Hanson. The Trustees are committed to providing the resources and leadership necessary to fully realize our vision for Saybrook and the role of humanistic education in developing future agents of change. These new leaders will help us fulfill our potential.
On October 28 at 11 AM PST, I will be conducting a conference call with alumni to speak with you first-hand about all of the developments at Saybrook as well as the search for our new president. I look forward to speaking with many of you at that time (For conference call connection information contact George Aiken firstname.lastname@example.com).
Thank you again for your support. I will continue to keep you abreast of all the wonderful things happening at Saybrook University.
Note from the alumni blog editor: See Alison's new blog at Psychology Today http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/healing-possibility

Chair, Board of Trustees
EHI November Conference Seeking Volunteers09/25/2009
EHI's November Conference is looking for volunteers to exchange their time to assist with tasks at the conference in exchange for their registration fee. Below is a general description of the tasks involved:
The volunteer will be assigned to specific workshops and rooms, and will be seated at the door with a small table. The volunteer will have to ensure that every participant of that workshop signs in and out. This is especially important because this is how we will track professionals and the number of CEs they are earning. Other than the very beginning and very end of the workshop, the volunteers are free to listen in and participate in that particular workshop. Of course, if the instructor needs any help from the volunteer, like switching the lights or moving desks, etc., the volunteer would have to help him/her out.
Possible volunteers please contact:
Mary Madrigal, Ph.D.

Living in Italy: Three Weeks in Florence
Live your Tuscan dream on our 22-day program in Florence, and enjoy independent living in a fully furnished apartment located within walking distance to historic sites, museums, restaurants, markets, and your Italian language center.
Tour Details
Each participant/couple had a separate apartment in different areas of the center city which provided a sense of independence without sacrificing the values of learning as part of a group."
Anonymous traveler
- A Tailor-Made Journey to India and Nepal
- The Forbidden City: Official Spaces and Private Quarters
- Journey from Bangkok to Bali: Following the Spirits
- Haydn Seek
Offering endless opportunities to explore Italy's arts, history, and culture, Florence is still small enough that you can feel at home in a very short time. Live your Tuscan dream on our three-week immersion program in Florence— designed with the right balance between scheduled activities and language lessons and time to pursue personal interests.
Enjoy independent living in a fully furnished apartment with modern amenities. Apartments are within walking distance to historic sites, activities, and markets. You'll feel confident about getting around on your own by attending language lessons held in classrooms, museums, and cafés. Get to know fellow travelers during scheduled excursions or activities each week. For example, you'll see Michelangelo's work at the Accademia and San Lorenzo church, view masterpieces at the Uffizi, stroll through the Boboli Gardens, meet with artisans in their workshops, and attend market visits and a cooking class. Plus, planned day-trips to Siena and Bologna take you beyond Florence. Our resident tour manager provides you with support to help tailor your time with optional activities, such as wine tastings, hiking, painting or cooking lessons, and more.
Days 1 & 2 — U.S., Florence, Italy
Depart the U.S. on independent overnight flights. Upon arrival in Florence, transfer to the city center. Settle into your apartment and meet your Tour Manager, a Florentine local who will handle all program logistics and will be available daily to assist with sightseeing arrangements, dinner reservations, shopping suggestions, and any other assistance you may require. Gather for a briefing to ensure you are fully informed about the program and all the latest news in Florence, followed by a welcome reception and dinner. (D)
Day 3 — Florence: Orientation
Enjoy an orientation tour of Florence this morning, to locate the CET center, shops, pharmacies, and other essential locations. At the CET center begin your language classes.

Continue with your language classes each morning, taking your knowledge out into real life settings to put your Italian to the test. On two afternoons there will be guided cultural visits arranged.
Day 7 — Siena
Take the public bus from Florence down to Siena. A local expert will introduce you to this picturesque hill-town on a walking tour featuring the ornate duomo, baptistery, and the unique shell-shaped campo at the heart of the city. There will be time to wander the medieval streets and alleys on your own before returning to Florence. If you wish to linger in Siena at the end of the day, return at your leisure on a later bus.

Get lost wandering down Via Zamboni, which is home to the University of Bologna, founded in 1088 and is the second oldest existing University in the world. Make your way up to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, which sits on a hill overlooking the city center below for a picturesque view. Of course, no trip to Bologna is complete without sampling its world renowned food – tagliatelle al ragu, prosciutto, mortadella, and lasagna, to name a few. There will be some time at leisure to explore the city on your own.

Undergraduate Italian
The study of Italian at Sarah Lawrence College offers the rigors of language study and the joys of immersion in one of the richest cultures of the West. The course of study consists of classroom, conference, and conversational components, all enhanced by the flexible academic structure of the College and proximity to New York. In the classroom, students learn Italian grammar, syntax, and phonology, using sources of everyday communication and literary texts. In conference sessions—especially helpful in customizing study to each student's level of fluency—students pursue reading and writing related to topics that compel them. And in conversation meetings, students simply talk with native Italians about anything of common interest. Individual conference projects can be as creative and diverse as is appropriate for each student and can include interdisciplinary work in the Italian language. As in other disciplines, the resources of New York City enhance student experience. Opera performances at the Metropolitan Opera (after preparatory readings from libretti), film series and lectures, museums, and internships related to conference work all offer ways to bring Italian to life. And for bringing students to Italy, Sarah Lawrence's study program in Florence maintains the small scale and individual attention that is the mark of the College, providing an exceptional opportunity to combine a yearlong academic experience with the cultural immersion of a homestay living arrangement. Advanced students have the opportunity to spend the second semester of their year abroad studying at the University of Catania in Sicily.
The Italian program periodically offers literature courses in Italian or in translation as part of the literature curriculum. Among these courses are: Images of Heaven and Hell; The Three Crowns: Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio; and Fascism, World War II, and the Resistance in 20th-Century Italian Narrative and Cinema.

Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.
