The purpose of this study is to learn how language difficulties caused by stroke improve and test the effectiveness of constraint-induced aphasia therapy.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|fMRI of Language Recovery Following Stroke in Adults
- Primary outcome measure is aphasia improvement. In young and old adults, longitudinal changes in language activation patterns will be mapped & language localization and lateralization will be determined using fMRI after stroke [ Time Frame: 2 weeks after stroke, at 5-6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- In participants with stroke, changes in language activation will be mapped using fMRI [ Time Frame: 2 weeks after stroke, at 5-6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- CIAT will be applied & fMRI & neuropsychological measures will be used to document the relationship between the clinical and anatomical correlates of post-stroke language recovery in people with stroke [ Time Frame: 2 weeks or at 5-6 weeks after stroke , 3 months, 6 months and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2008
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The aphasia group will have left middle cerebral artery (LMCA) stroke with moderate aphasia.
The control group will be healthy with no aphasia or stroke.
Detailed Description:
Aphasia (difficulty speaking) is one of the most dreaded consequences of stroke. It is associated with high mortality and severe motor, social, and cognitive disability. During the past decade, therapies administered by stroke teams have made great strides in limiting the damage due to a stroke. Unfortunately, progress in aphasia rehabilitation has not experienced the same rapid advancement. Evidence suggests that the brain may have untapped potential for recovery of aphasia after stroke.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers now are able to examine the areas of the brain that are responsible for language recovery after stroke. Such data may explain how the brain recovers after stroke, and may lead to new therapies to help individuals who have suffered an aphasia-causing stroke.
In this study, researchers will examine the changes the brain undergoes while recovering from an aphasia-causing stroke and the mechanisms that underlie such recovery, and test the effectiveness of a new and promising method of aphasia rehabilitation called constraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT). The scientists will perform fMRI studies of brain activation in people who have suffered an aphasia-causing stroke in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms of recovery from aphasia. Specifically the researchers will compare language activation between adults with stroke and children with perinatal and postnatal stroke (from previous studies); map changes in language activation, characterize the patterns of language reorganization that occur following stroke; and use the fMRI measures to assess recovery using CIAT.
The study will last one year, during this time participants will have language testing to evaluate the degree of aphasia and its recovery; and five fMRI scans scheduled at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 26 weeks, and 56 weeks. Participants with remaining moderate aphasia will be offered a chance to participate in an extension treatment study that will last up to 3 months.
A better understanding of brain changes during recovery from aphasia may help develop new methods to improve recovery.

Almost Thirty is a bullshit age. You are officially old enough to start thinking "I'm too old for this" or "what they hell are those (male) kids wearing tight pants and pink shirts for" or what do you mean you never heard/played/went to/wanted to be X?"
And yet, you're not actually that old yet, as the Almost Forties and Almost Fifties will tell you. So they mock your lamentations and move on along to their grievances (as above, but you probably haven't heard of X, or played Y, or went to Z which makes it worse).
Give me retirement age, senility, and all the crotchetyness that comes with it. I'm ready.

What is the Heal The Hood Project?
In 1998 Heal the Hood started out as an informal community based volunteer organisation by the youth for the youth on the Cape Flats. The purpose of our activities provides an alternative cultural experience for historically marginalised youth. Hip hop and its related elements encourage youth to break away from the gangster culture encountered daily on the streets of the Cape Flats. Since inception Heal the Hood has grown to the extent that we now host 3 annual events, regular workshops and produce our own CD's, DVDs, books, magazines and t-shirts. We want to create a sustainable network of youth nationally and internationally that develops new skills and creates jobs, while art related products and information will be exchanged.Break-dancing, rapping and graffiti art has been recognised as part of the vocabulary of youth culture and dance music. It is an art form that encourages our youth to share and explore a creative identity that crosses social, economic, cultural, racial and geographic divides, as evidenced in the diversity of participants and the audience. In addition, it is a catalyst for a programme of a particular art practice, discourse and educational projects and is dedicated to the promotion of the self-improvement that spans the mental, emotional and physical health and the importance of arts and culture in creating healthy communities.

CrockPot Corn Bread Stuffing Recipe
Day 318.
Dude. I so love my crockpot. It has gotten me to think out of the box, and I now have a refrigerator full of 2! TWO! kinds of perfect crockpot stuffing.
I think I need to bronze the crockpot after this year.
I've never had cornbread stuffing before, so I turned to the master: Paula Deen.
The Ingredients.
--8 x 8 pan of baked cornbread (I used the Whole Foods 365 brand of GF cornbread mix)
--4 slices of toasted bread (I used the GF Food For Life brand in the pink bag)
--2 cups celery, chopped
--1 large yellow onion, diced
--3 beaten eggs
--1/4 cup butter, melted
--1 T poultry seasoning
--1/2 tsp salt
--1/2 tsp pepper
--2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable!) --and another 1/4 cup if desired, later
The Directions.
I changed Paula's recipe quite a bit, but tried to keep the basics exactly the same.
I used a 6 quart crockpot. If you only have a 4 quart, toss the stuffing together in a huge mixing bowl, and then transfer to your 4 quart.
Bake the cornbread according to package directions (or by all means, make it by scratch!)
If you have a few days to let it go stale, do that. Other wise, cut into slices and bake at 300 degrees until toasty (along with your bread slices). It took about 30 minutes in my oven.
While the cornbread is toasting, chop up the onion and celery. Put the pieces into your crockpot. Add the seasoning.
Melt butter in the microwave, and mix together with 3 beaten eggs. Stir well into the veggies and seasonings in the crockpot.
Cut the cornbread and toasted bread into cubes, about 1/2 inch square.
Toss the cubes of bread and cornbread well with the ingredients in the crockpot.
Pour in 2 cups of broth. Stir gingerly to combine. The cornbread will break up more than the bread did in the other stuffing, but try to keep a few pieces whole for texture.
Cook on high for 2 hours. This can be on warm successfully for up to 2 hours.
If you'd like a more moist dressing, add another 1/4 cup of broth before serving.
The Verdict.
Tasty. Delicious.
I think we have a new member at our dinner table this Thanksgiving!

I love stuffing too. We always put cooked wild rice in ours (and water chestnuts for me). It helps to keep things moist. I highly reccomend it.
Yummmmmmy I think I will make some stuffing today.

I looooove cornbread dressing and actually made it in the crock pot last Thanksgiving due to lack of oven space and it was yummy. Only thing I missed was the slightly crunchy top you get from oven baked dressing.

Welcome to the Southern way of doing Thanksgiving! Now I'm craving Dressin'.
- November 13, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Now, for thanksgiving dinner, if we only have one crock pot, should we cook this or the turkey in advance? Thanks and LOVE this site!

I just wanted to say Thank You for all your hard work. You are incredibly hilarious and it brings a smile to my face every time I read your blog! I love that it is GF - because my 4yo is, and thus, we are too. I will try your recipe today! We've tried others in the past and have hit it out of the ball park everytime! Blessings to you,

- FattyPants said...
I can't wait to try this. I have the turkey in the crockpot now and it smells devine. Can't wait for dinner time.
- November 13, 2008 at 2:18 PM
So which dressing do YOU prefer?? They both look awesome!! I love cornbread stuffing but the family doesn't as much. Too bad, they can cook for themselves! Thanks again!
- November 13, 2008 at 4:15 PM
- Allison said...
I am so so so excited to try this at Thanksgiving!! I have a question for you though -
I have a 1 pound bag of Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing mix - do you think I'd be able to use that and doctor the spices a bit, or would it possibly not be enough?
Thanks in advance!!
- November 13, 2008 at 4:34 PM
- Daisy said...
I can't help it. I'm still laughing at the idea of free range chicken stock. I keep imagining little stockpots running around the ranch boiling their little heads off.
But seriously, this sounds delicious!

I love good dressing too. Last year I used the Pepperidge Farm brand with the cranberries in it and it was delicious. I will try yours this year. Thanks

Welcome to Southern Cooking! Cornbread dressing is the only one I have ever had.
I think you should hook up with Paula Dean and work together to turn her recipes into crockpot ones. Seriously. What could be better than Paula Deen and a crockpot?
BTW.. ever since you have posted your Apricot chcken, i have been making it weekly. This last week, I canned some apricots into jam and used that instead of store bought. OH MY GOODNESS. It took me ONE hour to make the jam and I will never buy store bought for this recipe ever again. SO much more apricot-y flavor. YUM!
BTW... I think you should turn this blog into a book by Blurb.com I would bet you would make a ton of money off it. I would buy it!

I have made crock pot corn bread dressing for the holidays for the last two years and it has been great. My family loves it. Cooking it in the crock pot makes it moist and it also frees up your oven so you have room to cook the other food.
- November 14, 2008 at 11:18 AM
- freckledk said...
I second the pre-made cornbread question!
Do you think the Pepperidge Farms stuffing would work with this? Or even those store-bought cornbread muffins, that you would then toast? I'm trying to simplify as much as is possible.
Thanks in advance!
- November 18, 2008 at 12:42 PM
- debbie said...
This looks wonderful, but for me a huge part of stuffing is the crusty contrast w/the soft insides. Does this get crusty at all?
- November 23, 2008 at 8:43 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
The edges of the stuffing (the stuff that hits the edge of the crock) did brown and get kind of crusty. I haven't had "regular" stuffing---just Stove Top ;-) and imagine that the oven version would get much crustier. If you'd like, you can always broil for a minute or two to crustify the top.

Can I please tell you how THRILLED I am by this recipe????? I'm having family for T-day this year and have tried various things over the years with stuffing and gluten free bread. This year I decided to go with corn bread dressing and see what happens.
So besides the fact that this is gluten free, that you cooked it in your crock pot just made my DAY! Turkey is already going in the roaster and this frees up the oven for my sweet potatoes and green beans! YAYA!!! Thank you!!!!!

I dis this yesterday, and it was AMAZING! Thank you so much for doing all of the legwork. Gobble, gobble!

Just want to let you know that we made this recipe and it turned out fantastic! It's our new 'must have' stuffing recipe for Turkey Day.

I made this stuffing for my two Thanksgiving dinners (one last Sunday and one on Thanksgiving) -- everyone raved about it and it will definitely be my go to stuffing from now on. Thanks!

- Gudrun from Kitchen Gadget Girl said...
Great recipe, thanks! I made it tonight with leftover cornbread from last night's chili. And I sauteed the onion and celery in the butter before adding them to the bread. I was concerned about the amount of liquid, it seemed like too much, but it worked out great - in fact, I might want to add a little more next time. My favorite part of the dish was at the bottom!
And, sorry to miss meeting you at the BlogHer VDay party - I enjoyed your presentation on the DS, but did not get a chance to introduce myself. Hopefully I will get another chance at an event soon....

This is a new one for me! Looks really yummy too..gearing up with recipes for the hot summer days
hopefully ahead!
- August 5, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I made this yesterday for our Thanksgiving dinner. It turned out great. I added a pound of browned sausage to it. One mistake I made and will correct before I make it again was using Jiffy cornbread mix, as it was a little sweet. Thanks for the recipe!

We had a gluten free, dairy free, soy free Thanksgiving here and used your stuffing recipe! It was the BEST part of the whole meal for me. We really enjoyed it and are proud of our new allergen friendly techniques thanks to our daughters' allergies!!
Thanks sooo much! We really appreciate it... if I can figure out how to link a picture? I will... but it's on my blog!!
- December 13, 2009 at 2:38 PM
I tried this on Saturday July 9th, 2011 and it came out perfect. My family loved it!!!!

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)

Kitta stared perplexed at Leo, face a mixture of shock and anger. "No way." She hissed, stomping her foot, "There is no way in hell you're going out there again." Kitta was clearly appalled that he would even ask, not when he had nearly Died last time he went to the surface. ~~~Falcon Daze By LDM
agreed! let's go!

((Okay before we start Chaos and BloodyJane will have armored security vault suits along with their regular ones and a baton. Chaos however will also have a pistol.
The last thing Delano could feel before loosing complete conciousness was the vault shaking from the bombing over head. He was scared. He was so scared...
"Good morning valued Vault-tec customer. Beginning wake up sequence. A little nausea may be experienced when exiting your relaxation bed. Please watch your step and have a good stay at the Vault-tec Vault 66."
A sweet electronic voice spoke to Delano. His eyes began to open. The world was a light blur. He heard a hiss as the door to his ERCB opened. Delano stumbled out. His first instinct was to run to the trash can and vomit. A little nausea was the understatement of the year...
As his vision began to come back, which fortunately didn't take too long, he went to his locker. He pulled out his vault suit and slipped it on. He picked up the water and the pills and took them quickly. Delano sighed with relief. Those med-x worked wonders sometimes. His headache was quickly going away. He reached into his locker and grabbed his pistol. He handled it gently and carefully as if it was fragile and could break any second. He glared at it thoughtfully. Finally he put it on his holster. He took out a Nuka-cola and laughed. Ridiculous product placement. Not like anyone could buy nuka-cola any more. He opened it and took a drink.
Finally he looked around. When he first arrived he didn't have a chance to inspect his room. Unlike the rest of the inhabitants, who were in a room separate for the ERCBs, Delano's ERCB was in the Overseer's office. His office now. It was against the wall. He walked over to his desk and set down is drink. He activated his computer and it informed him that all beds were running well and their resting guests were healthy and alive. So I woke up before everyone else, he thought to himself. He decided it was time to wake everyone up. He tapped at the Key board and the screen read.

"Doctor Reynolds," she yelled, "we have to go! I have to get you to the vault!" Rebecca had her keys in hand and was halfway out the door. Her superior was finishing up an experiment, but she knew they didn't have time. The bombs were getting closer. "Doctor!" She yelled again.
"Rebecca, I have to finish this!"
"Doc, it will be useless if you're not there to utilize it in the future! Please!" She pleaded, unsure of how she was going to convince the man who had taken her under his wing and taught her almost everything he knew.
"Rebecca, you don't understand. It's now or never. I'll never get these materials again. Just go, I'll catch up. Here," the older man tossed her a walkie talkie. "I'll let you know when I'm on my way." Rebecca looked at him unsure, but did what he said and headed for Vault 66. She waited at the entrance to the vault for her superior, but she hadn't heard from him. She pressed the button on the walkie,
"Doc? Doctor Reynolds?" She said worriedly. a few seconds of static passed before she heard the click,
"What's taking so long?"
"The electricity shut off, so I'm running it on the backup generators."
"Doctor, there's not enough power in those generators to get the mass spec to finish identifying the substance! There's just no time."
"There's always time, Rebecca. Rule number forty-six: there's always time, and if you think there's not, make some."
"James..." she half whispered into the walkie. "Please." Rebecca looked up from the walkie, towards where the medical building was, wishing her long time friend and coworker would just forget about the experiment and go be the doctor he was meant to be. She saw the bombs dropping close to where she knew the building was. Her heart started racing. A man dressed in army fatigues, carrying a heavily loaded weapon jogged down the crowd that was forming outside of the vault and Rebecca heard a snippet of what was going on over the military walkies.
"(kshh) fourth and thirty-second street is gone. over"
"(kssh) fourth and thirty-third street is gone. over."
"(kssh) fourth and thirty-fourth street is gone, medical buildings two, three, and five, gone. over."
Rebecca reached out and grabbed the man's arm, he turned towards her and asked what she needed.
"Did your walkie just say medical buildings two, three, AND five are gone?"
"Yes ma'am. Why?"
"Doctor Reynolds, who's in Vault 66 was in medical building five. Is it really gone?" The man pulled out his walkie and called his commanding officer.
"Lieutenant Foster here, commander. I have a citizen who says Vault 66 Doctor Reynolds was in medical building five. Can I get an affirmative that medical building five is no longer standing, over." A few seconds which felt like a lifetime passed by.
"Affirmative, soldier. Medical building five is gone." The soldier waited a moment before reaching out and placing a hand on Rebecca's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. I do have to be going now, though. Is his replacement here?" Rebecca dead panned. Her superior was dead. She was his replacement. She was next in line for Vault 66. She felt like she still had so much to learn. "Ma'am?" The soldier pressed.
"Wha--? Oh. Yes. I am. I am his replacement. He can't be dead."
"Security clearance code, ma'am?" Rebecca continued to ramble about how Doctor Reynolds couldn't possibly be dead. He was so sure there was time. "Security clearance code, ma'am?" The soldier asked a little more urgent. He pulled her arm so that she was walking with him. "We're pressed for time, ma'am. Security clearance code, please?" She looked up at him,
"Bravo Tango Romeo Mike," she responded slowly, not fully comprehending the scenario. The soldier pulled out what looked like an iPad and typed a few things.
"Password, ma'am?"
"Alpha Bravo Zulu."
"Cleared; follow me." He stowed the device again and gripped her forearm rather tightly. Rebecca winced at the pain but kept up with him. They passed a few checkpoints until they entered the vault and found a room that was labeled Doctor James Reynolds.
Rebecca traced her fingers over the screen that displayed her superiors name. Suddenly the screen went black, and when it booted up again, it read: Doctor Rebecca Mason. She pulled her hand back and internally winced; this was really happening.
"Have a nice life, ma'am." The soldier said as he nodded and jogged off to leave the vault. Rebecca stepped in and looked around. She saw a few labcoats, a few sets of scrubs, a jumpsuit, a locker, and a huge metal chamber. The chamber door was open and had what looked like a bed inside of it. The room shook with the force of the bombs and Rebecca looked up, half expecting the ceiling to collapse, half expecting to wake up from a dream.
"Well... Here goes nothing." She stepped into the chamber and the door slid closed.
Rebecca closed her eyes as the bombing continued overhead. Her ERCB shook with the force of it, but she remained focused on what her life will be like when this is over. I can't wait... to see... what... Her thoughts trailed off as she fell into the deep slumber.
"Good morning valued Vault-tec customer. Beginning wake up sequence. A little nausea may be experienced when exiting your relaxation bed. Please watch your step and have a good stay at the Vault-tec Vault 66."
The electronic voice sang as Rebecca's eyes fluttered open. The hiss of the door opening helped her to focus on what was happening. She stumbled out and gripped her head, which was throbbing uncontrollably. Her stomach flipped upside down and she leaned forward to throwup, but managed to control herself. Rebecca blinked a few times before looking around the room; she saw the locker and headed straight for it, remembering about the medication. She threw open the locker and gulped down the pills, following those down with a big gulp of water. Her headache cleared almost immediately, and the nausea dissipated as well. She raised her arms over her head and stretched long and slow, hearing her back crack. Rebecca smiled. That's better... She thought as she walked over to the lab coats. Three of them had Dr. James Reynolds, Vault 66 embroidered on them, and the other three had Dr. Rebecca Mason, Vault 66 embroidered on them. She traced her fingers along the other man's name before taking it off the rack and sliding her arms into the sleeves. It was a little bigger than her, but she liked being able to wrap it around herself. "Dad..." She whispered. A tear fell from her eye, but she wiped it away as she walked around the room. The door to the room opened and she walked out, looking both ways down the hall. No one was in sight, so she decided to stay in the room rather than explore. She slowly sipped the water as she wondered who else was down here.
"The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn, Is Just To Love, And Be Loved In Return."
Abagaila Moreen Walker.
Abby stared almost ruefully at the name plate. Her hand hovered over the name, indisicion lacing her every move. Did she really want a second chance? Did she really want to live a different life? She nodded to herself, completely comfortable with her own self silence.
For just a fleeting moment she pictured her mother, those last moments they had spent together. Wrinkled old hands had clutched her own, mothers crazed blue eyes capturing the picture of Abby. The thoughts dissapeared as quick as they came.
Bombs dropped in the distance, her heart leaping into her throat. Abby choked back a scream, the erratic beating of her heart too loud in her ears. For a split second she paused, mind swaying with thoughts. At last a bomb dropped too close, shaking the building and causing her to propel foreward and at last lay in the chamber.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
Abby awoke to noise and light, a pounding headache thrashing wildly in. Her skull.Abby whined her dissaproval, stumbling into the open air and towards the locker with her name on it. She took the pills, dry swallowing them before opening the Nuka Cola and drinking it down. Abbys head cleared almost instantly.
She glanced around her, pulling one of the white coats on and shivering inwardly. This was her new beggining. A chance to change and forget. "Well," Abbey started, smiling to herself "Its a start."
Anthony and Avery Banks awoke only minutes after the noise of talking subsided. Anthony promptly stumbled up and towards the first trash can he could find, emptying his stomach into it and sliding down the side of it. Avery fared much better, head pounding, yet still she smirked at her older brother and called him a word her mother would definantly not approve of.
Avery winced, thinking about her mother. Where was the b-word anyways? Avery figured she would be the very first one to wake up. Anthony finally got a hold of his stomach, standing and stumbling alongside his sister towards the lockers. They stood side by side after popping the pills and downing seperate drinks. Water for Anthony, Nuka Cola for Avery.
"Let's find Shannon." Avery suggested, slipping her hat on and grinning inwardly. Anthony sighed and nodded.
Shannon had been awakened quickly, going into defense mode before realizing where she was. She made quick work of getting herself ready, grabbing the gear she would need and glancing around. Others were beggining to awaken, and she needed to try and find the other officers. She passed by a woman in a white coat on the way, not bothering to stop and chat.
Shannon spotted her children, flagging them down before telling them where she would be going. As usual Anthony nodded, giving her a small less then heartwarming hug. Avery wrinkled her nose and said "Whatever Shannon."
She didn't say anything to Avery yet, but there would be a huge fight about it later. Instead she took off, searching for her comrades.
Where eyes should have been to empty sockets were, the most dark feature of the girl in front of her. It seemed as if she was talking, but when she looked closer she saw the thick black thread that stitched the girls mouth together. ~BLU By LDM
Hi, I'm new to this forum. Don't worry though, I'm not new to RPGs. So, I was wondering if I could add a new character. Actually, reading Chaos's post about adopting a child gave me an idea. How about I play the kid that she adopts? It would be interesting because I like the rebellious types as characters, and since Chaos's character is the police captain, I think the dynamic would be cool. I could enter the story as a malfunctioning ECRB, one that didn't get the command to open and wake me up. If it is alright with Chaos, I'll make up a character bio right away

National Grid is asking residents to cut back on daytime power use during the hot spell.
Electricity supply to the area is adequate, but heavy demand and high temperatures could potentially challenge regional networks, a utility news release stated.
The utility suggests unplugging electronics and avoiding use of the kitchen stove.

Carmelo Loses His Cool, and Maybe it's OK
Brian DiMenna
There's been much ink spilled — haha, remember ink, and why is it always getting spilled, keep it somewhere safe — about the now much-dissected battle royale between Carmelo and Boston's Kevin Garnett during the Knicks' fairly infuriating loss to the loathsome Celtics. Much of it correct, though some of it overwrought, particularly this gem from the Daily News' Mitch Lawrence:
They can't have their top player, a legitimate candidate for the MVP this season, come mentally unglued when someone makes disparaging comments about his reportedly estranged wife. Or his mama. Or whoever
If that kind of B.S. can throw Anthony off his game and make the Knicks an easy mark, then they're never going to get out of the first round again. Not as long as he is their top player.
But the point stands. I totally understand the idea that Anthony can't let this type of thing affect him on the court, that losing a winnable game because KG said some stuff isn't completely acceptable. It's one thing to let your anger motivate you, it's another to let it take you out of the game and cost your team a win. I would say it's worth remembering that these athletes are human beings, that some time emotion gets in the way of your best judgement, and sometimes we do things even as we know that we shouldn't. Melo let his frustration affect his play, it happens.
And yet, and I guess I'm sorry for saying this, I loved it. I loved every minute of it. It made me like Carmelo Anthony even MORE. I enjoyed watching him barking at Garnett, I've watched it something like a dozen times and it never fails to make me happy.
Naturally, this being New York, the story had to veer into the absurd, where it landed with rumors of Lala and Cheerios — Honey Nut, I believe. But while the rational part of my brain knows this wasn't a good thing, knows the Knicks can't continue to let emotions cost them games, the monkey/reptilian region of my frontal cortex was just all, "Oooh, fighting! GET 'EM!"
And I don't know, maybe it was faux-toughness, but I thought Melo showed toughness. I liked the attitude, liked seeing him get right in Garnett's mug and even liked seeing him waiting outside the Boston bus just to say, "Hey dude, what was THAT all about?"
Now, I'm not advocating this as a long-term strategy, or saying it's the type of thing I hope to keep seeing, I'm just saying for one night I really liked it, and found myself frantically checking the schedule to see when that next Boston game might be. Yeah, sports are about winning and losing, but there's an entertainment element to it too.
So tell me, are you not entertained?

GOUVERNEUR A restructuring board will take over the leadership of E.J. Noble Hospital to review its operations and determine future services.
Although details remain vague, most if not all of the old board will step down. New members will have the experience and skill to address the hospitals situation and to develop a strategy toward making E. J. Noble viable.
The E.J. Noble Board concluded, and the Department of Health concurs, in what it firmly believes is in the best interests of the hospitals future, to form a restructuring board to manage and lead the institutions restructuring efforts financially and operationally, Health Department spokesman Bill Schwarz said in an email.
Timothy J. Monroe, who had been the board chairman, declined comment, even as to whether he remains on the board.
Dr. Monroe, a veterinarian, apparently handed in his resignation more than a week ago.
Mr. Schwarz said he did not have details on how the transition will take place but said that the old board saw the need for leaders that could develop and execute a comprehensive strategy to assure the hospitals near-term and on-going survival.
Theyve opted to step down, he said. It was the boards conclusion that this was a sensible plan.
The Health Department shut down the hospitals laboratory for deficiencies Sept. 28, then later allowed a partial reopening. E.J. Nobles blood bank remains closed, preventing the hospital from providing many services, including most surgeries and a maternity ward.
Mr. Schwarz had no new information on when the blood bank might reopen.
E.J. Noble continues to address the lab deficiencies identified; the lab is authorized to provide limited services at this time, he said. Samaritan Medical Center continues to provide technical assistance to the E.J. Noble lab function.
The Health Department approved a management services agreement between E.J. Noble and Canton-Potsdam Hospital which is also subject to approval by the E.J. Noble bondholder, the National Automatic Sprinkler Pension Fund. Lee O. Smith, investment adviser with Hartland Asset Management, the agent for the pension fund, was unavailable for comment on the status of the agreement.
The hospital already hurting for revenue has been in a precarious financial position because of its loss of services and patients. The new boards role will be to identify the hospitals losses, income and waste, Mr. Schwarz said. The board will also focus on identifying and requesting short-term financial help, Mr. Schwarz said.
Former Administrator Charles P. Conole resigned in December. The change in board membership also marks a turn for the hospital,
Attorney Henry J. Leader did not return a call for comment on whether he remains on the board as its current chairman.
Kinney Foundation Board President Mark L. Brackett, Kinney Drugs Vice President Michael J. Burgess, and United Helpers Chief Executive Officer Stephen E. Knight did not return calls for comment on whether they have been asked to serve on the board.
Gouverneur dentist Nicholas F. Gardner said he was asked to join the board Jan. 29.
There has been no further action since, he said.
Dr. Gardner said his membership on the board remains uncertain.
Theres some things that need to be ironed out before that happens, he said.
Dr. Gardner referred other questions to attorney Janice Grubin, a specialist in restructuring of nonprofit organizations. She did not return a phone call.

Comments about Astral Buoyancy Co. Camino PFD:
This is my first PFD. Astral is a wonderful American made company out of North Carolina. This PFD in specific was recommended to my by an avad paddler. I used it for SUP (Stand Up Paddling). I mostly paddle in warm weather, and this PFD is very breathable. It also has really good pocket space for my snacks, GPS, Compass, sun screen and other items. I was very happy with it's adjust ability and it fit me very well and would not ride up when I was in the water. This PFD is also supposed to be good for white water. The back of the PFD has thick padding, so depending on your boat, you will want to try it on to make sure it feels good while your on the water. Some people prefer a PFD with less padding on the back.

ADRENALIZED: Life, Def Leppard, and Beyond, written with veteran journalist and author Chris Epting and scheduled for publication on October 27, is the first book written by a member of the group that holds claim to being one of only five rock bands with two original studio albums selling over 10 million copies in the U.S. Featuring personal, never-before-seen photos of Collen and his band mates on stage and off, Adrenalized is a fascinating account of the failures, triumphs, challenges, and rock-hard dedication it takes to make dreams come true.
"It's fascinating for even me to look back at my life from working in a factory at 16 years old to eventually traveling the world selling over one hundred million records and all the experiences that come with that journey," Collen says. "I realize that there is a constant evolution of 'me' that is still a work in progress even as I continue to be vital and dynamic in my same occupation for the past 35 years well into my late fifties."
Phil Collen recently spoke with Music Enthusiast Magazine about the upcoming Def Leppard album and his work with his band DELTA DEEP.
Phil had this to say about the upcoming Def Leppard album:
"More or less. Actually we were doing some the other day in Montreal, just some finishing touches and stuff. It's got to be mixed and mastered and all that stuff, so it'll probably come out when we finish the U.S. tour. It's such a long tour anyway, so it'll come out while we're on tour somewhere."
Phil on his DELTA DEEP project:
"I've always wanted to do stuff like that. It wasn't really blues per say, it was more of an expression, you know? Like an artistic expression. There's something that really irks me about blues. You've got these musicians and artists that play a style and blues wasn't a style. It was born out of agony and pain and slavery. It came from people being stolen from Africa, put into a country, beaten, whipped, whopped any which way, killed or their family being killed, pain and just real heartbreak.

Chris Welborn: Class of 2010
Sport(s): Baseball and Football
Sebring, Florida – Sebring High School
Major: History
How did you find out about Beloit? Did you know a lot about Beloit when you first visited campus?
"I found out about Beloit at a football recruiting fair in Lake Wales, Florida. Coach Brann and Coach Pole saw some of my highlights and they started recruiting me. I was then put in touch with Coach DeGeorge and he began to recruit me for baseball. I actually never visited Beloit. I decided to play baseball only my freshman year of college and played at a community college in Florida. I really missed playing football during the fall semester and gave Coach Brann a call during Christmas and I was able to enroll into Beloit the fall of 2007."
We are focusing a lot on Liberal Arts in Practice at Beloit; so as part of what you practice(d) name one aspect that you took away(will take) from being a Beloit student-athlete that you use in your everyday life.
"I think the biggest thing I took away from Beloit was not being afraid to meet new people and not to judge them by their cover so to speak. I am from a really small town where everybody knows everybody, and Beloit has such a diverse student body which made me guarded at first, but once I opened up I met some really awesome people."
What (if any) accolades did you receive (Academically/Athletically) while being a student-athlete?
Athletic – Season and Career Saves leader for the school and the conference
Season and Career Appearance leader for the school
If you could name one class or professor (mentor) that really meant something to you while at Beloit, who or what would that be?
"Going against the grain here, but there were two professors that meant a lot to me while at Beloit: Beatrice Mckenzie and Kathy Green. Beatrice was my advisor and was always available for anything I ever needed, even if it had nothing to do with my academics. Kathy as well made herself available to me even though I was not an Education major. That really meant a lot to me."
Name one of the most rewarding experiences you took part in while at Beloit College?
"I would have to say winning the school's first baseball conference championship in 2009."
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? - Name a career goal/aspiration you strive for.
"Five years from now I see myself pitching in the major leagues. I am playing professional baseball right now, but since I have an education with Beloit College, my options are open if that does not work out according to plan."
"In ONE word I would sum up Beloit College as- Unique; talking with my friends about their college experience, no one has compared to mine at Beloit College (and I mean that in a positive way)."

Recently, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg infamously burst forth from Gracie Mansion to deliver a new set of culinary commandments to the citizens of the Big Apple. While many people grumbled at the politician's parental behavior, many Democrats applauded "hizzoner" for caring so much. Of course, they applauded Bloomberg's successful incursion into our cup holders — not Bloomberg's concern for his subjects.
Unfortunately, this sort of nanny-statism is spreading. This week, the city of Cambridge, Mass. — home to some of the most annoyingly smug Bay State liberals outside the Kennedy Compound — announced it was considering a ban on soda sales in restaurants.
Of course, Cambridge offers merely the latest on a list of obtrusive efforts to reach much further into our lives than most of us would prefer. In fact, for those of us who consider our homes — and, by extension, our lunch — sacrosanct, politicians who mandate food and beverage guidelines have not simply invaded our homes, they're in the kitchen and rooting around in the fridge. As an aside, I would caution these self-appointed guardians of the public waistline to keep their distance from the liquor cabinet, lest gunplay erupt.
I despise governmental dietary dictates for the same reason I despise their equally-egregious siblings: so-called "sin taxes." When bureaucratic bugaboos begin decreeing what's allowed on my table, they've stopped behaving like government officials and started behaving like prison wardens. As is the case with "sin taxes," I'm doing time absent a crime. Instead of being sent to bed without dessert for refusing to eat my vegetables, I'm being sent to bed with my vegetables for thinking about dessert. Taken to the extreme, such enforced restriction leaves everyone from the most sanctimonious vegan to the most voracious omnivore choosing which flavor of soylent green they'd like for dinner.
But another problem looms, and it most severely affects a group liberals pretend to care most about: the "poor." Inside the supposedly good intentions of nanny-staters exists a logical gap wider than Michael Moore slow dancing with Ed Schultz, and I examined it up close recently at the grocery store. As I waited to check out, I stood in line behind a woman whose cart was filled with all manner of stuff that would elicit tears from the eyes of the San Francisco busybodies who tried to ban Happy Meals™. She had four different flavors of soda, those delicious Little Debbie™ cakes and a host of other items that are on the "only slightly more nutritious than Styrofoam" list. And she paid for it all with an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card.
If the government wants to move in on my menu, shouldn't there be even more significant restrictions on people whose menus are dependent on my dime? The woman in front of me bought a cartload of crap that would make a nutritionist compulsively start doing crunches, and you and I paid for the whole mess. So, I have to listen to lectures from Bloomberg, et al. while every trailer park Cleopatra and ghetto Nefertiti whose fertile reach exceeds her financial grasp stuffs her squalling progeny's pieholes with high-fructose garbage, and I don't even get invited over for cake and grape soda? Perhaps the nanny-staters should focus on the well-being of the less-well-off before checking to make sure I have enough broccoli in my crisper drawer. (I don't have any broccoli in my crisper drawer. That's where I keep the emergency 12-pack of beer.)
To be sure, most of us eat and drink far less healthfully than we should. As I'm writing this, I'm downing a "scotch coffee." It's like an Irish Coffee, except instead of Bushmill's, I use Famous Grouse; and instead of coffee, I use more Famous Grouse. I'm grilling steak for dinner later. That's my choice. Before the government decides to swoop down on me for living more like Michael Moore and less like Michael Phelps, perhaps it should narrow the restrictions on the EBT recipients whose grocery bills I'm also paying.
I'm not suggesting we limit food stamp purchases to Unimix and chewable vitamins; in fact, I neither want nor deserve any say in what EBT recipients feed themselves or their kids. But it's worth noting that governmental busybodies seem more worried about what I'm buying for myself than what I'm buying for others. Of course, they're already dependent on governmental largesse. At this rate, the rest of us will join them soon enough.

Note to all Sailors, please be on the lookout for Ensign Hunter Biden. Yes, the Vice President's son is going down the tried path of a direct commission:
Vice President Joe Biden will have another military son to worry about as he helps chart America's course around the world.
Biden's youngest son, Hunter, is joining the Navy.
The attorney and former lobbyist applied for a commission into the Navy Reserve as a public affairs officer and was selected, the Navy said Friday. Because Hunter Biden is 42, he needed a special waiver to be accepted, but that is not uncommon. He is one of seven candidates recommended for a direct commission for public affairs.
Or is Hunter Biden going to be comissioned as an LT, as in LT Hunter Biden? Could be, those PAO guys are smooth talkers.

Dr. Kind is a compassionate and talented reconstructive surgeon. He listens to his patients, patiently answers all questions, and is a real "people person". He has a wonderful PA, Marie Uy, but Dr. Kind is very accessible. They helped me through a difficult year of breast cancer surgery and reconstruction. The whole staff is very professional and helpful. Top notch all around!!!

Dr. Kind lives up to his name. He performed a DIEP reconstruction following my bilateral mastectomy. During all phases of treatment, from explaining the procedure, through follow up, he listened to and addressed my concerns. I had a smooth recovery with excellent results. Because I had realistic expectations (e.g. breasts would not look or feel the same as the original equipment) I was not disappointed. However, the shape and feel of the breasts are very similar to my natural breasts -- only the nipples look different. The office staff was superb in arranging the surgery for when I wanted it, and I had no difficulty with follow up appointments

Now I look back and question what exactly I did and how I managed without these teachings in my life.
- Christopher Smith
Kabbalah is the best gift I have had this year. But it did not come easy. It is a result of a lot of hard, focused, and disciplined work my teacher guided me through. Often I had to go out of my comfort zone to apply the tools. But the satisfaction and confidence I now feel is indescribable.
- Sam Parnaso
In the midst of such chaos in my life, I have been able to find peace through studying Kabbalah. Without any doubts whatsoever, I would highly recommend anyone to call.

Yoshida put his Nintendo ID on Twitter ("ShuYoshida") and has been accepting friend requests and chatting to players about his and their Wii U experience. Don't think Yoshida is just screwing around with the Wii U; perhaps, this is how he and Sony could be sizing up their competition.
But, in what must be the best—if not most humorous—Miiverse trolling so far, Yoshida wrote, "I *heart* PS" in the Nintendo Land Plaza. He added a smiley face and "yosp", which is also his Twitter handle.
This is trolling—it's not mean spirited trolling, and it's actually kinda cute—but trolling is trolling. Maybe Nintendo of America honcho Reggie Fils-Aime should retaliate? You know, go on to the PlayStation Blog, write, "Nintendo4Eva". I would've suggested PlayStation Home, but we know how that turned out.

MASSENA Village Code Enforcement Officer Gregory Fregoe has submitted a letter of retirement, effective Wednesday. His action comes after weeks of discussion among village officials who had not decided whether to reappoint the code officer of 13 years to his post.
The village has a plan for the future of code enforcement and it was not (compatible) with my plan for the future of code enforcement, Mr. Fregoe said.
Several members of the town Planning Board expressed surprise and disappointment on hearing that Mr. Fregoe will leave his post.
He has a lot of knowledge, and hes been a great asset to the Planning Board and to the community, Planning Board member Shawn Burke said. I feel its going to be a loss to the village without him.
Board member Kevin Fetterly said it was a shock to learn that Mr. Fregoe had sent in his letter of retirement.
Hes done a lot of work for the village. He was very dedicated, Mr. Fetterly said.
Mayor James F. Hidy, who commended Mr. Fregoe for his service, previously said that the village was considering transferring Mr. Fregoes duties to firefighters trained in code enforcement.
The village Board of Trustees held a special meeting to discuss Mr. Fregoes position Jan. 8, and held an executive session after its Jan. 15 meeting to discuss Mr. Fregoes position. At both meetings, the decision on whether to reappoint Mr. Fregoe was tabled.
After Wednesday, code enforcement in the village and town will be the responsibility of Massena firefighters trained in code enforcement.
Career firefighters Kenneth J. McGowan, department foreman, and Aaron T. Hardy completed New York state code enforcement training in November. They join career firefighter Bill OBrien, who previously received the training.
Two additional firefighters, Jeremy LeFeve and Matthew R. Tuper, are trained as code compliance technicians, and Walter J. Bean will finish this training later this month, Mr. McGowan said.
A code compliance technician is trained in enforcing the fire and property maintenance codes, but is not certified in other code enforcement officer duties, such as issuing building permits or inspecting new construction projects.
Mr. McGowan said that he had not been in discussions with village officials over the possibility of assuming Mr. Fregoes duties, but that it was something they had been preparing for.

John Rowe urges businesses to come together to support federal climate legislation
CHICAGO (Oct. 13, 2009) – Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe said yesterday that cap-and-trade is the best approach for addressing global warming while sustaining an economic recovery. In a keynote address at the PennFuture Southeast Global Warming Conference in Penn Valley, Pa., Rowe said reducing carbon emissions will cost money, but the alternatives to cap-and-trade will cost more.
"The best way to address the climate problem and protect our nation's fragile economic recovery is through cap-and-trade, which is the least expensive solution," Rowe said. "Prices will go up, just not as much as with cruder tools. Plus, the legislation has provisions that will help reduce the impact to consumers."
Rowe said that options like new nuclear plants, wind and solar, while appealing to many, actually cost much more than commonplace solutions like energy efficiency. "Choosing more expensive options over cheaper ones adds costs that are passed through to businesses and consumers," Rowe said. "That's why we need a climate bill that takes advantage of the power of appropriately regulated and monitored markets, which will drive competition, innovation and low-cost solutions."
In the wake of Exelon's decision to withdraw from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce due to a disagreement on the urgency of addressing global warming, Rowe urged the nation's business community to come together in support of climate legislation.
"Companies and business groups must recognize the need for strong action—or they will be left behind," said Rowe. "We have faith in the ability of American business to come together to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to the climate challenge."
Exelon is not waiting for climate legislation to undertake its own effort to address climate change through Exelon 2020, an environmental and business strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020. In April 2009, Exelon announced that it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 35 percent from 2001 to 2008. Rowe is the electricity industry's longest-serving chief executive, with nearly 26 years as a utility CEO. Rowe was among the first CEOs in the industry to focus on climate change, first testifying before Congress on the potential effects of carbon emissions in 1992. He currently serves as co-chair of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy, and previously chaired the Edison Electric Institute and the Nuclear Energy Institute.
Rowe's speech was part of an event sponsored by PennFuture, a leading environmental advocacy organization in Pennsylvania. Presenters included Jerry Melillo, co-chair of the United States Global Climate Change Impacts Assessment, and co-director and senior scientist of The Ecosystems Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole; Richard Foltin, legislative director, American Jewish Committee; Brent Alderfer, president of Community Energy Inc.; Denis O'Brien, PECO president and CEO; Joy Bergey, federal programs manager, PennFuture; and Jan Jarrett, PennFuture president and CEO.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

CrIP Platform launched by European Commission – DG Enterprise and Industry Publicado em: 07/12/2012
European Directives, Regulations and Decisions, Harmonized European Standards, European Policies, EC Recommendations and Communications, Codes of practice and many other European and national documents: it is a huge amount of documents that a construction company should cope with to keep being updated on legislation requirements.
The website CrIP (European Construction Information Platform) is the one-stop infopoint collecting all the documents issued by European Institutions and Bodies about the construction sector. CrIP is an information platform supporting and increasing the capability of construction companies to adapt to new challenges and to be aware and take up new work methods, innovation and legislation.
This platform has been developed among a set of initiatives carried out by the European Commission, in order to enhance the international competitiveness of the construction sector on international markets, with the final aim of creating a world-competitive European economy.
In fact, CrIP is designed to be easily used and accessed by large, medium and small construction companies across Europe: nine different European languages, a comprehensive guideline for user and a description of the different available documents, the possibility to suggest and upload new documents. The website is a two way communication channel capable of linking all the relevant stakeholders of the construction sector. This web portal creates easy access to all relevant information coming from the EC and Member States, and provides a service to any external contact relating to the construction sector.
Finally, CrIP offers you also a method to look for documents related to specific topics (identified according to categories agreed among a group of experts) and enables you to refine your search by navigating among the different types of documents.
