ROCKLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The effort to create a combined regional high school, tech school and college campus in the Rockland area has gotten a big boost from the federal government.
The Many Flags, One Community project has been in the works for almost seven years. Planners have built lots of local support for the project, and are even first on the list of innovative school projects waiting for funding from the state. Now the project has been given a $348-thousand planning grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
Leaders of the Many Flags effort say it will help continue work on the project and will also provide added credibility for the project with both government and potential private donors. They say Many Flags will then be allowed to apply for a much larger USDOE Implementation Grant, once the planning portion is completed.
The grant work will be done I n partnership with the Penquis organization, which works on a variety of social service needs for area residents. Alan Hinsey, Executive director of the Many Flags foundation, says the grant is aimed at developing plans to address the various social services needs of students and their families, as a way to overcome obstacles to learning. Hinsey says it will also help expand the ongoing work to develop the full "educational model" for the new school.
Many Flags is being planned to create a more unified curriculum between traditional high school and tech school programs, and also link those with community college and University programs. They hope this will produce better education and training for high school students, and help meet the needs of local businesses. Many business leaders in the Knox county area say it's difficult to find training for their workers who need new skills.
Business leaders also say the region needs a better skilled workforce and better trained and educated students in order to provide future job opportunities.
Planners say they're now moving ahead to get some of the new educational programs started, even without a new school. They hope to work with the existing high schools and the regional tech school to more closely connect the teaching of traditional subjects with the hands-on work of the tech classes. They also are developing stronger ties to the business community, particularly through the tech school.

YIELD: Makes 10 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 2 hrs
TOTAL TIME: 2 days
- 2 1/2 pounds dried white beans such as Great Northern
- 1/2 pound fresh pork rind
- 2 1/2 pounds confit duck legs
- 6 fresh parsley stems (without leaves)
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 5 whole cloves
- 12 garlic cloves
- 1 (1-pound) piece smoked salted slab bacon, halved crosswise
- 3 cups chopped onion (1 pound)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound meaty mutton or lamb bones, cracked by butcher
- 1 cup rendered goose fat
- 6 large tomatoes (3 pounds)
- 5 bay leaves (not California)
- 1 quart beef stock (not canned broth)
- 1 (750-ml) bottle dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds fresh garlic-pork sausage (not sweet or very spicy) such as saucisson à l'ail au vin rouge,saucisse de canard à l'armagnac, or a mixture of the two
- 1 1/2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Special equipment: a small square of cheesecloth and a wide 10-quart enameled cast-iron pot
DAY 1 Act 1: Nasty Work
Bring 5 quarts water to a boil in an 8-quart heavy pot. Boil beans, uncovered, 1 1/2 minutes, then turn off heat and let them soak 50 minutes.
While beans soak, do all the really disgusting work with the meat. Put pork rind in a 3-quart saucepan three-fourths full of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil pork rind 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold running water, then do it again. (Sometimes you know it's ready because it grows nipples.) After draining, cut the truly repulsive boiled pork rind into pieces that are big enough to identify (about 2 inches), so you can fish them out before serving.
Scrape off and discard fat from confit duck legs and shred meat (the more it shreds the better). [Editors' note: Those who have no problem with identifiable meat in their food might want to keep the shredding to a minimum.]
Act 2: Slightly Less Nasty Work
Put parsley stems, thyme, whole cloves, and 8 garlic cloves in cheesecloth and tie into a bundle to make a bouquet garni.
First seasoning of beans: Add rind pieces, bacon halves, 1 cup onion, bouquet garni, and salt to beans. Simmer, covered, 1 1/4 hours, skimming regularly. Cool, uncovered.
While beans simmer, brown mutton bones. Do this by heating goose fat in enameled cast-iron pot over moderate heat until it smokes, then cook mutton bones, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Set them aside on a plate. Drop remaining 2 cups onion into pot and brown that, too. This can take as long as 15 minutes. Stir regularly.
Peel seed, and chop tomatoes.
Act 3: Nasty Gets Nice
Flavoring the meat: Add browned bones and shredded duck to onion. Add bay leaves, beef stock, tomatoes, remaining 4 garlic cloves, white wine, and pepper. Simmer, covered, 1 1/2 hours. Cool to room temperature,uncovered.
Put pot with meat and pot with beans in refrigerator, covered, overnight.
DAY 2 Act 1: Crescendo (1 hr)
Poke holes in sausage with a fork and grill it slowly in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately low heat 20 minutes (to get the fat out). (Sausage should still be slightly undercooked on the inside when you're done.) Transfer to a cutting board and cool slightly. Slice into thin (1/4-inch) rounds.
Remove and discard bones and bay leaves from meat pot. Remove duck with a slotted spoon and put on a plate. Reserve cooking liquid remaining in pot.
Remove bacon from beans and cut into tiny, fat-free pieces. Put pieces on a plate and discard remaining bacon fat. Discard pork rind and bouquet garni from beans.
Julia Child says: "Now is the time to drain the beans and dump them into the ample, leftover meat cooking juices." In my experience, there is nothing left to drain. What you are looking at, when you stare into the bean pot, is a fairly solid wall of beans, with some gluey goop in between. So, pour reserved meat cooking juices into bean pot. Bring to a simmer over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, and simmer 5 minutes, skimming any scum. Then turn off heat and let sit another 5 minutes.
Act 2: Final Assembly
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spread a layer of beans on bottom of enameled cast-iron pot. Layer half of sausage and bacon on top, then another layer of beans, then half of duck (and any mutton), then another layer of beans, et cetera, ending with a layer of beans. Then add enough remaining liquid from bean pot until beans are submerged. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley.
Bring the whole thing to a simmer, uncovered, over moderately low heat. Then stick it in oven 20 minutes. Break through bread crumbs in several places with a spoon, allowing the liquid to mess up the look of the thing. Then reduce heat to 350°F and leave it in another 40 minutes. Serve very hot.

As it has been through their last three games, it was another tale of two halves for the Carbon Dinos football team as the Juab Wasps pulled away in the second half to defeat the Dinos 31-21 on Friday night.
Carbon's players, very aware of the game's importance towards a possible playoff berth, came out strong on offense with a potent attack both on the ground and through the air.
That enthusiasm, from the large crowd on homecoming night, helped propel Carbon to a 15-13 lead at the half.
But, as has been the case over their last three games, the second half proved to be the difference maker. Juab wasted no chances as they scored on their first possession of the second half to go up 21-15. From that point Carbon's bad luck continued as they fumbled on their ensuing possession which set up a field goal for Juab to extend the lead to 24-15 with three minutes left in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, Carbon failed to convert on a fake punt which gave the Wasps the ball back in Carbon territory. Juab again marched down the field against the Carbon defense and scored on a short run to push the lead to 31-15.
The Dinos, down by two possessions, showed some life as they scored on a pitch and catch with wide receiver Nick Haycock catching and then pitching to wide receiver Tanner Gagnon for a long touchdown to cut the lead to 31-21. Trying to make it a one possession game, Carbon went for two but were unable to convert as Juab stopped quarterback Dakota Cisneros short of the goal line.
Carbon was unable to convert their final shot at a score as the Wasps sacked Cisneros to seal the 31-21 victory for the visitors.
The loss eliminated the Dinos from making the 3A class playoffs as they fell to 4-4 overall and 0-4 in Region 12 play.
Carbon will finish their 2011 season as they play Spanish Fork on Wednesday at 7 p.m at the Carbon High football field.

Why can't I save my online banking password?
You might be wondering why you saw this notice below the UMB online banking account sign in.
We promise we're not trying to make your life harder by doing this. We know it's not easy to remember all the passwords you use online these days, so you might see this as a hassle. But we try to do everything we can to make sure your information is secure … and remains secure. Privacy and information security are extremely important to us at UMB and we take it very seriously.
Identity thieves are usually looking for stored information that they can turn into a profit by selling it on the black market. Online banking information like your password and the site you use to access your accounts are valuable to people who make money from stealing and selling personal information. We've disabled the ability to save your online banking password on umb.com because otherwise identity thieves have a greater opportunity to steal your data and money.
For example, if your laptop is stolen and you don't have it password-protected, the thief can easily login to your bank account if it automatically pulls your login information. Then this person has access to everything they need to steal your money. If you log in to your online bank account from a shared or public system, the next person that uses the computer could access your account. All it takes is a few clicks and they've used your money to buy a new flat screen TV or book a trip to Italy. It's kind of like when you accidentally leave your laptop sitting out and you're still logged in to Facebook, and then your roommate comes along and posts an embarrassing status update as you. Only it's not your Facebook page, it's your hard-earned money at stake.
Ultimately, we want what's best for our customers even if it isn't always the most convenient option. The privacy and the security of your information is our priority.

Great for hairball control
By Sheltie and calico mom
from Suisun, Ca
I use the optagest for my cat and dogs. Although I don't see any difference in my dogs. My cat very very rarely has a hairball now. Which before it seemed like she had one at least once a week and she's a short haired cat.

Excellent results
By Johanna
from Ottawa, Canada
One of my friends recommended this. She used it on a mixed-breed dog that had chronic diahrrea problems. Nothing else worked for him. Optagest cleared up the problem. I'm using it on a dog with a sensitive stomach. I tried another enzyme supplement, but it didn't help much. Optagest works.
Good results
By Nancy
from Chicago, IL
After using OptaGest for less than one week my 12-yr-old dog no longer had the tummy gurgles or urge to eat grass, my 8-yr-old dog got rid of his occasional belches and my 8-mth-old puppy began to have firmer stools regularly. Will definitely continue use this product.
No change :(
By Ozzie-d
from Ma
I was hoping this would help with my dogs frequent diahrea and occasional vomiting. Her issues are due to IBS and dietary indiscretion. Unfortunately there was no change.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: How long? IBD is serious and can take some time. We suggest using the whole bottle up before deciding for good!

This Works!
By Jo
from Fairfax VA
My 4 1/2 yr old Lab mix was occasionally vomiting his meals, sometimes within an hour of eating and sometimes several hours later. He seemed fine otherwise so I decided to try GI Support, which worked very well, but when it ran out, I decided to try the OptaGest since it is more economical and had good reviews. I like that it is in powder form and can easily be mixed in food. Austin has not vomited since starting this either. My kitten has had messy stool as well after ringworm treatments, antibiotics and spaying messed up her little system, and it corrected her problem immediately. I also give my pets the Total-Biotics powder now and then, along with the Only Natural Pets Wild Alaskan salmon oil.
OptaGest works miracles!!
By Dog Momma
from Austin, TX
I've had both my dogs on OptaGest daily for a few years now and their tummies are much happier. They used to get regular spit-ups, diarrhea, constipation, itchy skin...the whole gamut, but now they are consistently healthier. I just sprinkle a tiny bit on their food and they love it. It's a great value too.

Logo and his "toots"
By LocoLogo
from Fairfield, CT
I recently adopted a 76 pound Lab pup. Aside from being an Olympic grade chewer, Logo had serious flatulence issues. I did some research and all In Clover products have really good reviews so I decided to try their digestive supplement, OptaGest, and I'm so glad I did!!! Logo has now been taking OptaGest for three weeks and there is a very noticeable improvement. The farting is almost entirely gone and his feces is smaller, more firm, and less smelly. This is the ONLY stuff that has helped - thank you!

By Erin Setter
from Scottsdale AZ
Love this product….great for older dogs, dogs eating kibble, or dogs recovering from injury/surgery. I'm a K-9 massage provider working in the rehabilitation field….I like OptaGest because it is a simple one with no added animal products (some enzymes have lactose). My 13 year old English Setter with IBD has responded very nicely to this product. I also use this for dogs recovering from surgery to help with digestion/tummy upset.

After installing 2.8 I went back to work on an existing image that I wanted to modify.
When I attempted to reuse the same font that was used in 2.6, it returned plain text as shown in the attached file.
I am working on a Windows 7 PC w/ 6GB RAM.
Do I have to go back to 2.6 or will a fix for this be coming shortly?
Where are the fonts installed in 2.6? If they are only in the Gimp profile for 2.6 or in the 2.6 Gimp install tree, they aren't available to the 2.8 Gimp until you copy them over.
If these fonts are installed as system fonts (available in other apps, such as Wordpad), then it would be a different matter.
See also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675781 - currently, no one is investigating that, maybe you'd like to help?
install usually sets that path automatically to the windows/fonts folder.
My install of Parthas 32 bit Gimp-2.8 works with most fonts also.
Hi! I don't work at Gimp or make plug in thingys. But to answer this question you asked:
Quote: The first item I noticed was that 2.8 was installed in the "C:\Program Files" folder (64 bit system), while 2.6 was installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder (32 bit system). I hope that is the correct installation location for 2.8.
Apparently, I believe your installations are correct. When I installed 2.8 "FIRST" then 2.6 afterwards, (note: I used the installer packages at Gimp downloads)... 2.8 installed in Program files folder. Which is where, 64 bit programs are usually installed. Why? Perhaps there is some sort of 64 bit code etc. programmed into it. I wondered this same thing too when I realised Gimp 2.8, installed in Program files folder. He! He! Maybe Gimp guys could explain this question.
And Gimp 2.6 installed in Program files(x86). Just like my previous 2.6.11 version, was installed.
So I don't think you have to worry. The installations are probably correct. They probably install in different folders, to prevent one removing or uninstalling the other. Which does happen, if you install 2.6...before 2.8. So installing 2.8 first, then 2.6 is correct way to do it.
I hope you get though successfully, with the Font problem though. Glad I could give you good answer, to part of your problem. Hope I helped you a bit. Bye and good luck.
AFAIK on Windows gimp reads automatically the content of the windows font folder even if apparently there is not a path set for it
But set up 1 will no harm and maybe could help,
you don't need to copy the fonts somewhere else, just load gimp, enter in Edit/Preference/ folder and there expand and look for Font, then click the first icon of the dialog (look as a "new folder" icon) and then on the search icon
and find the path for your font folder (usually C: Windows/Fonts ) ...done that don't forget to click ok to confirm before close the dialogues
Gimp never was able to read all the fonts so not sure if revert to 2.6 will help much.
Apparently the 64bit portable version from Samj i am using may read most of the fonts in my system (more then 2.000 )
There are exception but till now no more then in 2.6
anyway i did not worked much with text so i can't be completely sure
The global fonts.conf file contains a WINDOWSFONTDIR directory directive on the windows platform, that's why that diretory is read regardless of the fonts directories that are set up in GIMP's preferences.
If you remove that line (and ony other diretory directives that may be present), then all font directories have to be added in the preferences.
The description of that file is available at:
You just helped me cut gimp's startup time by at least half. Now excuse me while I go happy-dance :)
Thanks! I deleted line 26 from fonts.conf and am now much happier with Gimp, installing only fonts that I need.

NEWPORT CITY – Two familiar names will be on the ballot for alderman on Town Meeting Day. Denis Chenette and Dick Baraw are both running unopposed for their seats.
Denis Chenette
Chenette has served the council since 2009, prior to that he served on the Newport City Zoning Board for 25 years. He was also on a committee to encourage new business in the city.
Chenette had not planned to seek re-election but had a change of heart when nobody else took out a petition to replace him. "I felt that I couldn't very well leave the position open," Chenette said. "That wouldn't be right for the city council and it wouldn't be right for the City of Newport."

Dick Baraw
Baraw has served on the council since 1997. His interest with city politics came after telling then council member Ken Magoon that he wanted to be involved with the city. Magoon ended up getting Baraw a seat on the Newport Zoning Board. Baraw served on that board for about 19 years until he retired from U.S. Customs, then he ran for city council.
"I was interested in getting more involved," recalled Baraw.
Baraw is interested is seeing some of the proposed development that might come to the region and he has a lot of enthusiasm for Stenger's plans to develop the greater Newport area.

BGA: Cardinals at Jets – Part One (Offense)
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible.
Coming up, your breakdown of yesterday's win over Arizona, together with detailed analysis of personnel groupings and individual performance.
Join me after the jump as I attempt to cover every angle.
The beleaguered head coach had no other option but to turn to a fresh-faced, nervous-looking youngster with no experience and he somehow managed to lead them to victory with a big fourth quarter comeback. However, that's enough about season one of "Friday Night Lights", let's look at how
Matt Saracen Greg McElroy led the Jets to their fifth win of the year over the Arizona Cardinals.
After a game like that, most football analysts would be all, "If I wanted to write about New York beating Arizona 7-6, I'd have joined the staff of Metsblog", but you know me by now. I LOVED this game. Defensive football has always been my thing, so a 7-6 win represents fantasy football as far as BGA is concerned. It's the kind of low-scoring win that should be a staple of the Rex Ryan era. Only…
On this day three years ago, the Jets beat Buffalo 19-13 in another game Mark Sanchez was unable to finish (this time due to injury). Since that time, they were 0-18 in regular season games when they scored 21 points or less…until yesterday's win.
That's your BGA stat of the day brought to you by [okay, we don't have a sponsor yet].
What does that mean? EIGHTEEN in a row! Is it that the defense can't be expected to go for 60 minutes if the offense isn't at least doing its part to keep them off the field? Is it that the offense makes so many costly mistakes that the defense concedes too many points even when it plays well? Are they just incredible unlucky when it's a tight game? It will be interesting to see if that pattern changes with a different quarterback at the helm, although I'm still not sure that will explain it.
If more low-scoring wins are on the way, sign me up! I actually attended the last Jets-Cards game and it began similarly to yesterday's game with no score at the end of the first quarter. However, it then morphed into a happier version of the Thanksgiving loss to the Pats, with the Jets defense taking over in a monster second quarter that gave them a 34-0 halftime lead. They went on to win 56-35, but I can honestly say I enjoyed yesterday's game more. This time, the second quarter produced more of the same from both teams and the second half wasn't much different either.
However, the crowd got a noticeable lift from the quarterback change and it seemed like the atmosphere inside the Jumbo Slinky was as good as it's been for a long time. In a season which will almost certainly go down as a disappointment, yesterday was a fun diversion and a well-deserved lift for Jets fans.
Let's look at all the individual performances:
I'm going to start with Mark Sanchez, although this might be the last time anyone ever does. I've been criticized for making too many excuses for Sanchez in the past and for putting too much of the blame on him, but yesterday the one person whose opinion actually matters decided he had seen enough.
Throwing a horrible interception off your back foot on the first play of the game is one thing, but Sanchez has rebounded from a bad start before. Sure enough, he made a couple of completions and moved the team pretty effectively, only to throw two more interceptions before half time. I'm not sure what he was looking at on the second interception, although Jeff Cumberland didn't seem to help him and perhaps wasn't expecting that throw or maybe even ran the route wrongly. On the final interception the ball was slightly underthrown, but Patrick Peterson made a sensational play to come down with the ball.
It wasn't just the interceptions, though. He had key passes batted down, a couple more near picks, didn't diagnose blitzes or get rid of the ball well enough and his accuracy and timing were spotty all day. It's fair to say that his receivers didn't help him too much with a couple of drops, although his ball placement could have been better on all of these, as he threw high on a checkdown to Bilal Powell, behind Jeremy Kerley on a slant route and underthrew Chaz Schilens who had deep separation. Underthrowing deep balls seems to have been happening a lot for Sanchez recently, adding weight to suspicions that he has been suffering with some kind of injury.
For what might be the last game of the Sanchez era, but could just be a temporary blip in his ongoing tenure as the Jets' starting quarterback, I wanted to highlight some particular plays that illustrate where some of the issues with this offense lie.
First of all, there was a third down throw to Jeff Cumberland. Sanchez threw to Cumberland, who came back towards the football and the pass was broken up two yards short of the first down marker. Last year, most people would have blamed Brian Schottenheimer for calling a play where the primary target ran short of the first down marker. This year, most people would have blamed Cumberland for not running a perfect route. However, the picture below illustrates the problem perfectly.
Sanchez is releasing the pass as Cumberland has got some separation from Kerry Rhodes beyond the first down marker. That's too late. The ball should have already been in the air and then Cumberland would have been able to make the catch beyond the marker. Instead Cumberland's momentum carried him back beyond the marker and Rhodes had time to break on the ball and knock the pass down. If you re-watch the play, Sanchez hesitates, pats the ball and even pumps once before releasing it.
Now, the reason for this is obvious. He is too concerned that Cumberland isn't going to break at the correct moment and that his throw will end up being intercepted. In fact, you could maybe link this back to his second interception and maybe he had expected Cumberland to break off his route at a different point there. While that's a valid excuse, Sanchez simply has to trust his receivers otherwise he isn't going to complete passes, put together drives and score points. Obviously the fans would still boo him if he did the right thing and it ended badly, so his hesitancy is understandable, but the lack of chemistry between him and his receivers is alarming at times.
Let's look at a different situation. Here you can see that, following a play-action fake, Kerley is the primary option on another third down, running a simple quick slant.
The result of the play? Sanchez took a sack. Again, I can understand why he might be hesitant to make that throw because there's a lineman in his sight line, but any NFL quarterback should be able to slide to the side and complete that pass.
Something I've been critical of Sanchez for over the course of the season has been his reading of blitzes, so here's an example where he made the correct read.
Chaz Schilens' man comes off the edge and he immediately makes himself hot. Sanchez threw it to him, but Rhodes made a solid open field tackle short of a first down. The issue here was two-fold. First, Sanchez waited another beat before releasing this pass. Secondly, Schilens had to jump to catch it. Had he thrown the pass immediately and in a position where Schilens could catch it with some upfield momentum, then he would have had a good chance of beating Rhodes in the open field to pick up the first down yardage.
Again, in Sanchez's defense, there was another example of a guy coming off the edge where he looked to hit his hot read, but Stephen Hill never looked back for the ball and he had to take a sack there. I don't know whether it would have been Sanchez's responsibility to slide D'Brickashaw Ferguson (who double teamed Matt Slauson's man on the play) across or to make Hill aware that he might need to go hot, but for whatever reason that didn't happen.
You couldn't really say the same thing on this play though:
Once again, Sanchez took a sack here. The obvious option was to throw it to Jeff Cumberland in the flat. Although he'd have had to beat a safety in the open field, there was a chance of getting a first down. Instead, Sanchez waited for Chaz Schilens' crossing route over the middle to develop and by then the pressure was on him and he had to go down.
Maybe these are minor mistakes and I'm sure that if Sanchez was playing well, he would have made the right decision on most of these plays. However, at this time, while mired in this slump, the opportunities to move the team down the field are there and his lack of decisiveness is (was?) killing them.
I feel sorry for Sanchez because I truly feel he is capable of better than he has shown this season. Whether he never regained his confidence after how last year ended, he failed to pick up the new system as well as hoped or for some reason let his work ethic and effort slide, he's been in a slump for a long time now and the time had come to make a move. The lift from the crowd seemed to have a knock-on effect on the team's on-field effort and was a key factor in the win as a result, so in that respect it was definitely a good short term move. We'll have to wait and see where it leads.
Things got better once Sanchez went to the sideline, although he did hold the clipboard like a loaf of bread.
For more information on the Jets' options financially with respect to Sanchez, read Jason's latest article, which echoes some of the things I've been talking about on the site all season.
So, let's turn to Greg McElroy, much like Rex – perhaps begrudgingly – was forced to.
McElroy's introduction to the game certainly lifted the crowd and seemed to have an effect on his teammates as well. He may have only passed for 29 yards, but it was enough to enable him to add a fourth quarter comeback to his resume.
While there is some cause for optimism, I'd preach a heavy dose of caution. As an example, Ryan Lindley went 8-for-9 on his first drive last week, leading the Cardinals to a touchdown. Then he threw four picks over the rest of the game and you saw what he looked like yesterday. McElroy did a perfect backup's job in this game and, even if he fails to get many more opportunities to start, that's the kind of performance that can keep a guy in the league for years.
The Jets kept things relatively simple for him and seemed to run a lot of plays where he was on the move. That suggests they might not feel confident in his ability to sit in the pocket and make plays yet. Unfortunately, as recent games against teams like the Raiders have shown, you can't rely on rolling out too often because it cuts down your options and ultimately can lead to the quarterback being under constant pressure. However, in his relief appearance, McElroy looked composed and in control, got everyone lined up and made smart decisions. It's perhaps a sign of how low my expectations for Sanchez have fallen that I was impressed when McElroy noticed the clock running down and called a timeout.
With McElroy in, the receivers did help out, as they hadn't done for Sanchez. Hill and Kerley (twice) made great catches, without which McElroy would have ended up just 2-for-7. Also, the running game really took off, as the blockers seemed to lift it up a gear. That's what enabled the Jets to drive down to the goal line twice, with McElroy rolling out for an easy touchdown to Cumberland and then able to ice the game in the victory formation.
Jets fans are all too aware of the limitations a cerebral quarterback that isn't athletically gifted can place on an offense, but this Jets team was supposed to rely on its running game and defense, so someone who can make good decisions, avoid major mistakes and inspire his teammates to play hard for him would be an upgrade over what Sanchez has provided over the past 12 weeks.
If he doesn't start next week, I'm sure McElroy has done enough to earn another shot at some point. Hopefully he can build upon this win. It will be exciting to see if there's more where that came from.
Offensive Line
The offensive line continues to gel. Between them, the five starters have given up just 4.5 sacks in five games and the team is averaging 4.2 yards per carry since week five. Austin Howard, who was struggling in pass protection earlier in the year, didn't give up a single pressure for the first time in his NFL career. He and Ferguson, who still hasn't given up a sack all season both did an excellent job in the running game too, setting the edges and driving guys out of plays, as the Jets ran a lot of traps with their tight ends to good effect.
Brandon Moore and Dustin Keller each let their man get off their block for half a sack on the play detailed above where Sanchez could have thrown the quick slant to Kerley, but otherwise both Arizona sacks came from unblocked blitzers off the edge. There was one other play where Sanchez was almost sacked by an unblocked blitzer, but was able to evade it to throw the ball away.
Slauson did let his man get to Sanchez for the pressure that led to the opening interception, although he had held the ball for some time before that happened. Both Slauson and Moore had a positive effect in the running game, with Slauson making some particularly aggressive blocks like he had something to prove and Moore doing well on the move.
Nick Mangold had some uncharacteristic negative plays that meant he graded out poorly. A couple of times he let his man get off his block to stuff a run and he also gave up a couple of pressures. However, when the running game really kicked into gear in the fourth quarter, he played as big a part as anyone. While the Jets did seem to block well as a unit after McElroy entered the game, they did manage to rack up 81 rushing yards before Sanchez departed, so it was a pretty consistent performance throughout.
Jason Smith played a lot more than last week and did have some impact blocks, setting the edge well for one big run and driving his man out of the play on another. He did get half-beaten on the inside a few times though.
After the controversy during the week, the Jets seem to have changed the guard rotation so that Vladimir Ducasse gets every fourth series instead of every third series. Also, this week, they went three and out on all three series with Ducasse in the game, so he was only in for nine snaps. It wasn't his fault, as he actually made a couple of decent blocks, but that's not a good sign as they had been producing pretty well whenever he entered the game.
Running Backs
Shonn Greene did a solid job this week and at last saw the benefit of being kept fresh into the fourth quarter. In recent games, the Jets have fallen behind and he hasn't seen many carries against a worn-down defense. His biggest run saw him bounce to the outside for 19 as it looked like he was set to be trapped for a loss. He also finished runs well in the fourth quarter and you know I loved the smarts he displayed by taking a knee at the goal line. In the playoff game against New England that game stayed alive for longer than it needed to because he didn't do that – although the pillow celebration was memorable.
Bilal Powell has settled nicely into his role of change of pace back and helped spark the touchdown drive with a nice run off-tackle. He ended up with a career high 58 yards rushing. I'd also give credit to Greene and Powell for some good blitz pickups. Powell did drop a pass, although it was high off his fingertips.
Kahlil Bell made his offensive debut and stayed in to block a couple of times. However, the first time he touched the ball, he fumbled it, almost messing up McElroy's comeback effort.
Lex Hilliard made a sketchy start at fullback, but noticeably picked it up once McElroy entered the game. I'm not sure if that reflects well on him or not. Shouldn't we expect a more consistent effort from him throughout? Whatever the reasons, he did throw a couple of good blocks to set up some big runs as the Jets took control.
Finally, Joe McKnight suffered yet another injury, but did make a decent gain on a Jet sweep play. Maybe he deserves credit for playing through a lot of issues, but I'm sure his durability will be a concern.
Give Stephen Hill credit for a solid performance, including one leaping clutch third down catch, although there is a slight feeling of frustration now that he has shown he can catch the ball and one wonders how much better the Jets offense would have been if he could have caught the ball that consistently all season. Hill operated more like a possession receiver, picking up 40 yards on his five catches. Hopefully, now that he's shown the ability to get first downs by doing that, defensive backs will play up on him a bit more and he'll be able to get downfield.
Jeremy Kerley had a disappointing drop on a ball thrown slightly behind him, but ran a good route to catch a good back shoulder throw from Sanchez in the first half and had two spectacular catches from McElroy in the fourth quarter, one of which was a key third down conversion.
Chaz Schilens caught just two passes for five yards, including one of the ones detailed above. He could have had a bigger day, getting deep twice, but both balls were underthrown and one ended up being intercepted. In the play in the first half, Schilens ran a great double-move to get deep separation, without even needing Sanchez to throw a pump-fake. The throw was only slightly underthrown, but enough that Schilens had to slow up and reach back and when it hit him in the shoulder, the defensive back was able to recover and knock it away from him. He definitely should have caught that ball, but it's another example of a play where it would have been an easy touchdown if Sanchez had led him with the pass. As noted, the Peterson interception was just a sensational effort by the defender, but again, Schilens had a step with inside leverage and Sanchez's throw was just slightly off-line and over his outside shoulder where the defender could get to it. Schilens' disappointing day was compounded by him committing a false start penalty on a second and five play.
Sanchez did have a couple of nice completions to his tight ends in the first half, timing a throw well to Keller so that he could make extra yards after the catch and pick up a first down and hitting Cumberland downfield on the outside. With Keller hurt again, that could be a factor in whether or not they decide to give Sanchez another chance. Sanchez seems to struggle with him chemistry, whereas McElroy probably has better chemistry with Cumberland and Konrad Reuland anyway. Of course, it was Cumberland who caught his touchdown pass, although I think anyone could have caught that one.
The Jets used their tight ends as lead blockers quite a lot in this game, motioning them in the backfield to try and disrupt the Arizona defensive front, as noted by the announcers. Cumberland did have a few good blocks, albeit mostly from the fullback position, while Keller didn't do much wrong other than conceding half a sack. Konrad Reuland did make a couple of glaring mistakes, but at the same time he did show some good run blocks, including one where he knocked a defensive back to the floor, so I think he has potential to continue to get better.
We'll split BGA into two today and I'll be back this afternoon with the defensive evaluations.

|Highland Camerata to Present Winter Concerts
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 20 November 2010 07:37
The Highland Camerata, the region's premier chorus, will present its annual set of Christmas concerts on December 7, 10, and 12. On Tuesday, December 7, Sparta Presbyterian Church will host the concert at 7:30 in the evening. On Friday, December 10 at 7:30 pm, the concert will be at Brush Creek Hall, home of the Camerata.
Brush Creek is located two miles south of Independence, VA on route 21. Galax Presbyterian Church in Galax will be the location for the Sunday afternoon concert at 3:00 in the afternoon. Mary Elizabeth Whartenby, director of the Camerata, has chosen Antonio Vivaldi's, "Gloria" as the concert's major work. Soloists for the "Gloria" will be Heather McCall Hanks and Becky Helton of Galax, Mary Kinkel of Independence, and Mary Digel of Sparta. Other selections will be two pieces by Stephen Paulus, "We Gather Together" and "How Far is it to Bethlehem." Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" from his Requiem will be sung. Debbie Brady of Sparta will accompany the chorus on the oboe in two selections, "Winter Wind" and the Paulus, "How Far is it to Bethlehem." Henry Hobson of Sparta will solo along with Ms Brady. On the lighter side, "Deck the Halls" and "Christmas in About Three Minutes," a fast paced collection of familiar holiday tunes, by Mark Weston will delight the audience. Pianist, Patty Davis of Galax, will accompany the Camerata.
As a special feature in this set of concerts, Larissa Venzie from Independence, will perform two holiday selections on the marimba: "The Snow is Dancing" by DeBussy and "Villancio de Navadad." Larissa is one of the touring performers in the Virginia Commission for the Arts network of artists.
The Camerata is a non-profit chorus which has been performing for more than thirty years. Its purpose is to provide a musical outlet for members as well as to provide the community with an exceptional musical experience.
All concerts are open to the public. There is no admission charge, but donations will be appreciated and will allow the group to continue. For additional information, call Jerry Ann Hall at 276-728-2158 or visit www.highlandcamerata.org.

Woken Furies (Takeshi Kovacs Novels)by Richard K. Morgan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Richard K. Morgan has received widespread praise for his astounding twenty-fifth-century novels featuring Takeshi Kovacs, and has established a growing legion of fans. Mixing classic noir sensibilities with a searing futuristic vision of an age when death is nearly meaningless, Morgan returns to his saga of betrayal, mystery, and revenge, as Takeshi Kovacs, in one fatal moment, joins forces with a mysterious woman who may have the power to shatter Harlan's World forever.
Once a gang member, then a marine, then a galaxy-hopping Envoy trained to wreak slaughter and suppression across the stars, a bleeding, wounded Kovacs was chilling out in a New Hokkaido bar when some so-called holy men descended on a slim beauty with tangled, hyperwired hair. An act of quixotic chivalry later and Kovacs was in deep: mixed up with a woman with two names, many powers, and one explosive history.
In a world where the real and virtual are one and the same and the dead can come back to life, the damsel in distress may be none other than the infamous Quellcrist Falconer, the vaporized symbol of a freedom now gone from Harlan's World. Kovacs can deal with the madness of AI. He can do his part in a battle against biomachines gone wild, search for a three-centuries-old missing weapons system, and live with a blood feud with the yakuza, and even with the betrayal of people he once trusted. But when his relationship with "the" Falconer brings him an enemy specially designed to destroy him, he knows it's time to be afraid.
After all, the guy sent to kill him is himself: but younger, stronger, and straight out of hell.
Wild, provocative, and riveting, Woken Furies is a full-bore science fiction spectacular of the highest order — from one of the most original and spellbinding storytellers at work today.
"In Morgan's powerful third cyberpunk noir SF novel to feature Takeshi Kovacs, whose consciousness is transferred from one ultra — combat-ready body to another in the service of various unscrupulous powers, the interstellar mercenary returns home to Harlan's World, thoroughly pissed and dangerous. Despite his justified cynicism, he finds himself trying to protect a young woman who may house the soul of a martyred revolutionary from centuries earlier. He also must fight a hired killer who's a younger version of himself. To succeed, he has to sift through his past to see which allies and memories he can trust. Morgan has become even more nervy since winning the Philip K. Dick Award for his confident first novel, Altered Carbon (2003). This book develops a baroque, appallingly complicated setting, full of opportunities for revelation and betrayal. Both violence and sex are troweled on thickly but appropriately; they have significant consequences for these people who are trying — in circumstances even more desperate than our own — to discover who they really are and who they might have a chance to become. Agent, Susan Howe at Orion (U.K.). 8-city author tour." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Hammering cyberpunk action, with an occasional detour for a stirring speech against religious fundamentalism." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] terrific addition to an award-winning series....Highly recommended for followers of the series, cyberpunk devotees, and hard-boiled detective fans not averse to a little genre-bending." Booklist (Starred Review)
"The author's eye for detail and feel for the atmosphere and nuances of sf noir result in a story packed with action and angst that will also appeal to general suspense readers. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"Morgan is one of science fiction's bright young lights, a crisp stylist who demonstrates equal facility with action scenes and angst." The New York Times Book Review
"Morgan creates a narrative which is akin to a weapons-loaded ship crewed by angry pirates. An action packed thriller full of brilliantyl choreographed set-piece scenes." SFX
"The characterisations are vibrant...a rich plot and trademark conceptual freestlying...hits the retina like a laser beam and it's a true page turner." Morning Star
"As inventively nasty as Morgan's other novels about Kovacs. Morgan's world is one of unbridled capitalist thuggery where more goes wrong than the rest of us easily imagined." Time Out
About the Author
Richard K. Morgan is the acclaimed author of Market Forces, Broken Angels, and Altered Carbon, a New York Times Notable Book that also won the Philip K. Dick Award. Morgan sold the movie rights for Altered Carbon to Joel Silver and Warner Bros. His third book, Market Forces, has also been sold to Warner Bros. He lives in Scotland.

POTSDAM – With Congress unable to avoid sequestration by today, schools will see their budgets affected by automatic federal spending cuts.
Sequestration will cut education funding across the board, specifically reducing primary and secondary education funding in New York state by $42.7 million in the first year alone.
Sequestration also would reduce federal aid for New Yorks children with disabilities by $36.3 million.
The White House issued a news release estimating that sequestration would put about 520 teacher and teacher aide jobs at risk in the state.
Head Start programs also are on the chopping block.
Potsdam Central School Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said sequestration will affect his district when the planned 10 percent cut to Title 1 funding goes into effect.
At this time, when we are trying to put together a budget, its a real concern that we are going to lose this important aid, Mr. Brady said. These are teachers and teacher assistants who work with students who are most at risk to not meet the education standards.
Potsdam District Business Manager Laura A. Hart said the district is looking at a $60,000 to $70,000 cut in federal funding.
Mr. Brady said he spoke with a representative from Rep. William L. Owenss office last week and that wasnt a conversation that gave him optimism that a deal would be reached, so school officials have been getting ready for the cuts.
Mr. Brady said he doesnt think sequestration will affect the current fiscal year, but the 2013-14 budget will take a hit.
Massena Central School Superintendent Roger B. Clough II said, Any reduction in school aid due to sequestration will deepen districts financial problems. In the end, sequestration will hurt the kids in our region.
He said estimates indicate that New York would lose around $609 million in promised federal aid in areas such as health care, government services and education.
If state officials divided that cut evenly, education would have lost one-third of the governors promised $600 million increase in 13-14 school aid. Those estimates do not include any additional losses of federal Title I (aid to poor school districts) and IDEA (special education) grants or Medicaid payments to schools, Mr. Clough said.
Cuts to school aid can only be made up through higher taxes or cuts to programs. The tax levy cap makes tax increases unlikely, he said.

John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State in the administration of President James Monroe, offered a toast to his native America on July 4, 1821. The Republic was yet young, just 45 years after declaring its independence of Great Britain. The glories of its destiny were mainly to come. But the glories foreseen by Adams, the son of America's second President and destined to be its sixth, were not triumphs of conquest, but rather the majesty of a nation leading truly by the force of example instead of the example of force.
For America, said Adams, with the same voice by which it spoke itself into existence, similarly held forth to other lands the "hand of honest friendship, of equal freedom, of generous reciprocity. She has uniformly spoken among them, though often to heedless and often to disdainful ears, the language of equal liberty, of equal justice and of equal rights. She has in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining our own."

Last week, a friend told me that Skittles has more than 8 million Facebook fans. I checked this Saturday, and sure enough, Skittles has 8,682,144 friends. When I checked again last night, Skittles was up to 8,727,245 friends. That's 45,101 friends joining the party in 48 hours.
Hmmmm. This made me wonder how many Facebook friends other top US candy brands have amassed … and what it would look like if I matched up the 25 best-selling candy brands in the US with each brand's number of Facebook friends. My unscientific results may startle you.
Sales Rank* Brand (Manufacturer) Facebook Fans
25 Ice Breakers (Hershey) 21,051
24 Orbit White (Mars) 566,854
23 Dentyne Ice (Kraft) 7,343 (Canada)
22 Tic Tac (Ferrero) 933,074
21 Hershey's Kisses (Hershey) 84,532
20 Trident White (Kraft) (see Trident, No. 6 spot)
19 Butterfinger (Nestle) 527,262
18 Milky Way (Mars) none found
17 Starburst (Mars) 3,971,587
16 3 Musketeers (Mars) 126, 713
15 Dove (Mars) 38,476
14 Skittles (Mars) 8,720,108
13 Twizzlers (Hershey) 54,829

4 Snickers (Mars) 596,860
3 Hershey's 1,014,925
2 Reese's PB Cups (Hershey's) 3,515,716
1 M&M's (Mars) 1,152,646
(*Sales Rank based on retail sales data from Symphony IRI Group, a Chicago-based market research firm for the 52 weeks that ended on Sept. 6, 2009. Data collected from supermarkets, drugstores, gas/C-stores and mass market retailers, excluding Walmart.)
Extrapolating from my "research," Facebook friends and product sales don't really correlate. Skittles is by far the most popular US candy brand on Facebook, but it's not in the top 10 for sales. Tic Tac has close to 1 million friends, but the itty-bitty mints rank 22 out of 25 for sales. Even so, it's interesting to see which brands are using Facebook as a major marketing platform, and which are not.
I am always a fan of the underdog, so if Mars does decide to create a Facebook page for Milk Way, I want to be the first BFF.
What candy brands have you "friended"?

Race Course will open at 10am for racing. No early racing or course inspection
Whether you're the kind of person who needs to know who the best skier or boarder in town really is, or someone who just wants a good excuse to get out on the slopes once a week, Red Lodge Mountain's Town Series is for you. A very popular and long standing tradition, Town Series is one of the best ways to make Red Lodge Mountain your home during the ski season.
Town Series is six consecutive weeks of racing, with racers competing in teams or as individuals. Teams must be coed, and can consist of any mix of 4-6 skiers or snowboarders. Races take place on Bobcat (a beginner run), and the course layout, which changes each week, is typically a giant slalom course with 12-18 gates. It is always designed with the novice in mind, and it's a very low-intimidation atmosphere with absolutely no racing experience required. All racers run the gates twice each Friday, and the day's racing is capped off with a party and awards ceremony at 6 p.m.
Town Series runs from the first week of January to the 2nd week of February. All competitors must take both their runs between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on race days.
The best of your two runs in the first week is the qualifier, after which you are placed into one of several categories based on gender, equipment (ski, snowboard, or telemark), and time. Racers compete against others within their category, but also compete as a team. Each week, the 4 racers on each team with the fastest times within their categories are awarded points, and these points are used to calculate the team's points for that week.
Throughout the racing season we track the times of all skiers, snowboarders, and telemarkers within each category. These times form the cumulative points for each team, the cumulative time for each team, and for fun (not for points), are compared to the times of all racers.
You bet there are. Town Series has a loyal following of racers and sponsors, so we're able to give out great prizes every week. And prizes don't just go to the fastest racers - there are a variety of ways to walk away with something, including a random raffle of schwag each Friday night.
