Complete Story
OPTA Student Member Invited to APTA Innovation Summit!
The OPTA is pleased to announce that one of our own was invited to attend the APTA Innovation Summit, an exciting event allowing a forum for health care professionals, business owners and policy makers to discuss the current and future of physical therapy in integrated care models, while presenting new concepts for innovative care models.
Chris Wilson is a third year PT student at the University of Cincinnati and current SPT member of the OPTA. Chris holds his B.S. in Health & Sports Studies from Miami University. Following his graduation, he joined the U.S. Air Force where he served as the Unit Fitness Program Manager and Physical Training Leader. After his military service, he worked in project management at a local IT company, Praeses, a position which gave him an excellent understanding of the role of technology in business. After three years of work, Chris realized that a change was needed, a decision that led to him pursuing a career in PT.
Chris' unique perspective as a non-traditional student with a varied professional background led to his concept. Inspired by the Virginia-Mason model and Intel's DirectLine to Healthcare program, this model leverages a comprehensive information technology suite, a mobile PT office and a focus on direct marketing to company executives and human resource managers, as opposed to medical doctors, to take physical therapy to employee worksites.
The OPTA is thrilled at this opportunity for Chris and we wish him the best at the summit!

[1070] miRNA Expression in Lower and Upper Urothelial Carcinoma and the Potential Clinical Application
Shuanzeng Wei, Yuan Yao, Prabodh K Gupta, Zhanyong Bing. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Background: Diagnosis and follow-up of patients with urinary tract tumors currently are based on urine cytology, radiographic imaging, and ureteroscopy. Although urine cytology has a high specificity, it is not sensitive. Ureteroscopy is a reliable approach for identification of macroscopic disease. But the disadvantage of ureteroscopy is also evident, such as, discomfort, urinary tract infection, as well as failing to detect microscopic disease. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short noncoding RNA molecules that posttranscriptionally modulate protein expression. There are distinct miRNA alterations characterizing urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma. In this study, we investigate the possibility of using miRNAs as a non-invasive markers in the screening or follow-up of urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) from upper urinary tract and bladder.
Design: Total RNA was extracted from 87 bladder or renal washing fluid (22 high grade UCC, 13 low grade UCC, 25 normal control, 27 cases of positive history of UCC but negative at time of test (HIS)). All the diagnoses were confirmed by cytology and/or surgical pathology. Expression of miRNA markers miR-96, miR-182, miR-183, miR-200c, miR-21, miR-141, miR-30b were determined using quantitative real time PCR.
Results: Quantitative real time PCR showed miRNA is stable in the urinary tract washing fluid. miRNA-96, 182, 183, 141, 30b, 21 and 200c are overexpressed in high grade UCC compared to low grade UCC, normal control and HIS. There is no significant difference between the low grade, normal and HIS. In addition, UCC from upper GU tract and bladder cancers demonstrate similar changes of these target miRNAs.
Conclusions: Our study shows miRNAs are stable in the bladder or renal washing, and the target miRNAs (miRNA-96, 182, 183, 141, 30b, 21 and 200c) are overexpressed in high grade tumors. Real-time PCR of a panel of miRNA could be used as a screening test as well as a followup test for recurrence of UCC patient.

Kenya: 30 Shebab killed in air strikeComment on this story
Nairobi -
Kenya said on Friday it had killed at least 30 Shebab rebels including top commanders in an air strike on a training camp in Somalia, although the militants quickly denied the claim.
The Kenyan military said the Thursday evening raid targeted a Shebab camp in Garbarahey in Gedo region, situated around 600 kilometres north-west of the capital Mogadishu and near the border with Kenya and Ethiopia.
"KDF (Kenya Defence Force) fighter jets attacked an Al Shebab camp, where a meeting was being held," a senior KDF official said.
"Initial battle damage assessment indicates more than 30 al-Shebab militants killed, including key commanders," the official added.
Another military official said the Kenyan armed forces were trying to determine the identities of those killed in the raid.
"We are yet to establish their identities, but they are definitely big shots in the militant group's hierarchy," the official said, adding that five vehicles and other "key assets" were destroyed in the raid.
Officials said they believed dozens of other militants were also wounded.
Contacted by AFP, a Shebab military spokesman dismissed the Kenyan claims.
"We have no troop presence there. There were no Shebab fighters in the area, none of our people were killed," said the spokesman, Abdiaziz Abu Musab.
"The Kenyans are claiming the casualties to please their bosses in the West who have contracted them for the war in Somalia," he added.
Kenya has been battling the al-Qaeda-inspired Shebab on Somali soil since October 2011, and has since joined the African Union force deployed in the country.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to maintain Kenya's military presence in the war-torn country despite Shebab attacks inside Kenya - including the attack on the Westgate shopping mall in September last year.
"Let them (Shebab) know that we will not relent on the war," Kenyatta said late last year.
"Our forces will remain in Somalia until such time when we are satisfied that there is peace." - Sapa-AFP

Paying for Care
Many people are concerned about the cost of community care services, whether they are charges for services which people receive in their home and/or community or for residential accommodation. This involves a whole range of different issues, including whether you may have to sell your home to pay for your care or how the weekly cost of the care you receive at home is calculated.
This is an area where the law in England and Wales is beginning to diverge, particularly following the introduction by the Welsh Government of the Social Care Charges (Means Assessment & Determination of Charges) (Wales) Regulations 2011 in respect of non-residential charges. There are a number of differences, for example, in Wales, there is a maximum charge of £50 per week for non-residential services, although no such universal maximum applies in England.
At Sinclairslaw, we have the knowledge and experience to help you with the concerns you may have about paying for care, whether it relates to paying for residential care or the costs of receiving care at home and in the community.

AMD roadmap shows two-watt Hondo chip for tablets
updated 09:40 pm EDT, Tue July 5, 2011
Leaked AMD slides reveal move into tablet market
AMD is preparing to build chips for tablets, according to new leaks from Turkish site Donanim Haber adding to reports from over a month ago. This time, the focus is on low-power chips codenamed Hondo based on an upcoming Brazos-T platform that is due to hit production in 2012. The slides reveal the release date will coincide with that of Windows 8, which is also being made for tablets.
The Hondo chip, which is said to use about two watts and has a TDP of less than 4.5W, is meant for fanless designs. The Desna chips from the earlier leak, for example, had respective numbers of 4W and 5.9W. How this was achieved isn't known, however. The Hondo chips use a Fusion controller hub that houses a generous number of SATA and USB I/O ports.
The chips will have active standby and DirectX 11 graphics support for full HD playback. Hondo will also have Secure Digital IDs and an always-on Wi-Fi feature. Suppliers should get the new chips in December, with volume production slated to start in the spring of 2012.

|Captain Jack
Running Time: 163 min.
Production Date: None given
Director: None credited
Cast: Courtney Cummz, Jenni Lee, Veronica Avluv, Bill Bailey, Justin Magnum, and Kris Slater
Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are far from perfect, but for the most part don't hold the release back. The movie is shot with an almost documentary style, which leads to a few imbalances in the audio and a few spots which are hard to hear, but otherwise it's nicely clear. The video is also far from perfect with lower lighting and a fair amount of camera motion. This is largely what gives the movie it's documentary-like style, and it somehow worked well for me. The main thing that holds back the technical aspects is that Naughty America refuses to move past a non-anamorphic transfer despite every other company I know of in the adult industry moving on with an anamorphic widescreen presentation. Yes, homemade porn can be viewed on DVD in anamorphic widescreen and Naughty America has their scenes available in anamorphic widescreen on their websites, but they won't give it to customers paying a premium to watch their scenes on DVD.
The Movie: The Tonight's Girlfriend series works on a simple idea, that guys aren't paying the girls to have sex but instead to leave afterwards.
|Scene 1 � Veronica Avluv and Kris Slater
Kris happily greets hot brunette MILF Veronica at the door to his room and greets her with a hug and lets her know how pleased he is that she's available as well as how he's a big fan of hers. They quickly get down to business with Kris giving her a wad of bills that she quickly counts in the bathroom before coming back out to see if he has any specific fantasies. Kris lets Veronica know that he has a fantasy about his ballbusting mother-in-law, and Veronica checks to see who he wants to be dominated in the situation. Kris lets here know that he's up for being dominated and that he bought her a special outfit for the night. Veronica changes into a sexy pink and black animal print corset with a little help from Kris, as well as a pair of black stockings, black platform heels, earrings, and a black bow for around her neck that's all covered by a tight black coat. She comes out looking sexy as can be, laying down the law with Kris and letting him know how much of a screw-up he is while having him help strip her down. She lets him kiss her before having him worship her from the tip of her shoes up her legs before pulling his face into her cunt to eat her. Veronica bends over to let Kris eat and play with her from behind with plenty of asslicking mixed in. He continues to eat and finger her as she lays back on the bed before she has him stand up so she can eagerly suck and stroke his cock. They move up to the bed to sixty-nine before Veronica lets Kris lay back so she can suck and stroke his cock as well as eating his ass. Veronica rides him cowgirl style before laying back to take it missionary style. They quickly exchange oral favors before fucking doggie style, and then work in a little more cocksucking as well as some titty fucking before Veronica rides him reverse cowgirl style. They go back to fucking doggie style, and Veronica mixes in a bit of foot play with her oral assistance before chastising Kris for not having his wedding ring on. She makes him lay back on the bed so she can ride him reverse cowgirl style before hopping off and sucking him to a nice facial finish. Veronica worships his cock and appears to swallow down his load before he gives her a small kiss on the lips and goes into the bathroom to clean up. Veronica strips out of her outfit while talking to herself about how much fun she had before showering, brushing her teeth, and getting dressed. She gives Kris a few more thanks and gathers up her new outfit before heading out.
|Scene 2 � Jenni Lee and Justin Magnum
Justin heads to the door to green Jenny, who's looking fantastic with her hair pulled back wearing a pair of tight ripped up capri jeans and a corset top. He lets her know that he's recently divorced and has been watching her for years before she heads to the bathroom to take care of the business aspect of their deal. Jenni comes out to double check what he'd like her to wear before going back to the bathroom to change into a black bra and panties along with a pair of black stockings and the gold shoes he bought her off her wish list. She also touches up her makeup, accessorizes, and decides against a black garter belt before heading out to join Justin on the couch. They kiss and he quickly slides off her bra before helping both of them slide out of their clothes so she can give him a little tease and then suck his cock. Jenni rides Justin reverse cowgirl style before letting him take her from behind standing up. They move to a desk for some missionary work and take a break to kiss and let Jenni take her shoes off. Justin takes her from behind a bit more before they move to a sectional where Jenni sucks and strokes him before letting him spoon her. She slides off the stockings before riding him cowgirl style, and when they move to a bed lets him take her from behind both laying on her stomach and on all fours. They also get in some missionary and cowgirl fucking on the bed with a little cocksucking mixed in. Finally Justin pops up to let Jenni have a nice facial finish. After they finish she heads to the bathroom to wash off her face, put her hair up, rinse out her mouth, and get dressed. She also makes a little small talk with Justin before heading out.
|Scene 3 � Courtney Cummz and Bill Bailey
Bill answers the door to find the lovely Courtney on the other side. He greets her with a hug and kiss and they sit down on the couch to chat before Courtney heads to the bathroom to check the envelope Bill left her with payment. She makes a quick call to her friend to let her know that everything's going okay before coming back out to chat with Bill about sports and sex. Courtney heads back to the bathroom to chance into a fetishy black and red outfit complete with fishnets before coming out to give him a lapdance. Courtney has Bill strip off her bra and take off his pants as she removes her corset and strokes his cock. She has him stroke his cock as she plays with herself and strips down a bit more before moving in to suck and stroke his cock. Courtney lays back on a coffee table for Bill to eat her holes before he comes up to fuck her missionary style. They move to the couch and continue in missionary as well as going at it cowgirl style. They mix in plenty of oral action as they move on through doggie, spooning, and a reverse cowgirl ride, and go back to fucking cowgirl style after moving back to the bed. Courtney sits on Bill's face before laying back to take it missionary style, and he mixes in a little more oral action and doggie fucking before going back to missionary and finally letting her have a very nice facial finish. Courtney plays with his seed and strokes him a little more before heading to the bathroom to clean up and then heads out.
Tonight's Girlfriend 9 is a nicely different fuck flick. It largely works with a documentary style of camera work with shots that are often far from perfect due to lower lighting and camera angles that might not be the best. Normally this would hold the movie back quite a bit, but for some reason it works very well here. I'll also admit that I'm not a big fan of prostitution as a porn theme, but it also worked nicely here for me. In each scene that girl appears as her pornstar self as well as being a high class hooker as well. The setups are simple and work nicely due to the girls always appearing more than friendly while also mixing things up a bit for what their client wants. Veronica starts things out very well dominating Kris, and turns out a smoking hot scene that worked extremely well for me. Jenni's scene also works well, and she shows off her girl next door charm as well as her complete sexpot side that have always made me look forward to see her in action. Courtney finishes things very nicely in a fetishy outfit and turns out a great vocal performance with plenty of energy. The only thing that really holds the movie back is the non-anamorphic presentation, as Naughty America continues to show a lack of care or respect towards their customers who are paying a premium for their product. From start to finish Tonight's Girlfriend 9 came off as a nicely different fuck flick. Due to its style it won't be for everyone, but it's definitely worth a look to see if it works for you.
The Extras: As usual with Naughty America, the only extra is a photo gallery lasting about seven and a half minutes.
Condom Usage: None
Final Thoughts: It's well worth the rental.
Note to Naughty America: This looks to be a very solid series. It's too bad you won't give it the care it deserves on DVD.
If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me.

|Decreased cerebral α4β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptor availability in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease assessed with positron emission tomography.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21069319 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|PURPOSE: Postmortem studies indicate a loss of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In order to establish whether these changes in the cholinergic system occur at an early stage of AD, we carried out positron emission tomography (PET) with a specific radioligand for the α4β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2* nAChR) in patients with mild to moderate AD and in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who have a high risk to progress to AD.
METHODS: Nine patients with moderate AD, eight patients with MCI and seven age-matched healthy controls underwent 2-[(18)F]fluoro-3-(2(S)-azetidinylmethoxy)pyridine (2-[(18)F]FA-85380) PET. After coregistration with individual magnetic resonance imaging the binding potential (BP(ND)) of 2-[(18)F]FA-85380 was calculated using either the corpus callosum or the cerebellum as reference regions. PET data were analysed by region of interest analysis and by voxel-based analysis.
RESULTS: Both patients with AD and MCI showed a significant reduction in 2-[(18)F]FA-85380 BP(ND) in typical AD-affected brain regions. Thereby, the corpus callosum was identified as the most suitable reference region. The 2-[(18)F]FA-85380 BP(ND) correlated with the severity of cognitive impairment. Only MCI patients that converted to AD in the later course (n = 5) had a reduction in 2-[(18)F]FA-85380 BP(ND).
CONCLUSION: 2-[(18)F]FA-85380 PET appears to be a sensitive and feasible tool for the detection of a reduction in α4β2* nAChRs which seems to be an early event in AD. In addition, 2-[(18)F]FA-85380 PET might give prognostic information about a conversion from MCI to AD.

Sandra Simpson, chief operating officer and deputy superintendent of Southern Westchester BOCES, outside the BOCES headquarters in Rye Brook in June. / David McKay Wilson
In winter 2009, educators Sandra Simpson and Robert Monson graced the cover of The Insider, a newsletter of Southern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
They were the new leadership team of the regional education agency in the throes of spiraling operating costs and declining enrollments.
Monson, hired as Southern Westchester BOCES district superintendent, was a veteran educator with an Ivy League pedigree from his postdoctoral work at Harvards Graduate School of Education and teaching at Columbia Universitys Teachers College. Hed served as schools superintendent in districts in Ohio, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York. He came to Westchester after serving nine years at Teachers College as a senior lecturer and coordinator of the Education Leadership Program.
Simpson, who was hired as deputy superintendent, arrived in Westchester after serving as district superintendent of a BOCES serving four counties in upstate New York.
John DeSantis, then the Southern Westchester BOCES president, hailed the districts dynamic leadership team.
But a year later, Simpson and Monson had a falling out over Monsons relocation from New Rochelle to Stamford, Conn., say sources who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the issue.
Under New York law, a BOCES district superintendent must reside in New York.
Theres a requirement that for being a district superintendent, you are supposed to live in New York, and I do understand he made a decision to move out of New York, Simpson said in a May interview at the Southern Westchester BOCES offices, located in a restored mansion on Berkley Drive in Rye Brook. That was his own personal decision. The board became aware of it.
Simpson said Monson had options regarding his residence that he declined to pursue.
The bottom line is that it was a requirement, Simpson said. There are a lot of options. You could move into New York.
Sources said Simpson was among those who told the board of Monsons relocation from New Rochelle to Stamford. Simpson, who herself has an apartment in Stamford near where Monson lived, and a home in Rochester, was not bound to live in New York because she was not the district superintendent and is still not, though she now runs Southern Westchester BOCES as its chief operating officer.
Simpson said she did not blow the whistle on her boss.
Thats not accurate, she said. I think a fair way to describe what happened is that Bob was very dissatisfied with the cap on the salary, and he did love teaching at the college and university level. Part of what he tried to do was to establish partnerships with colleges and universities. I think he saw opportunities.
Southern Westchester BOCES board President Georgia Riedel declined comment.
Monson, now an associate professor of education at Manhattanville College, resigned in June 2010, with 20 months remaining on his three-year contract. His separation agreement included a payment of $67,000 and permission to participate, at taxpayer expense, in a weeklong conference at the University of Oxford in England that July.
According to the agreement, Southern Westchester BOCES had already paid for the trip before his resignation. Monson declined comment, citing the agreements prohibition on making public comments on the pact.

One of the realities of the Iowa Legislature is that many bills declared dead in one session are revived the next year.
Lobbyists say it sometimes takes several years to educate legislators about the benefits of certain bills. Other measures wont pass until there is change in partisan control in the House or Senate, or the governors office. But that doesnt stop lawmakers and lobby groups from trying to advance their agenda.
Here is a list of some issues that didnt pass this year, but could resurface in the future:
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: Supporters of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage arent giving up. Many Republicans contend Iowans should be allowed a statewide vote on the issue.
ABORTION: Twenty-one Senate members filed a resolution proposing a fetal personhood amendment to the Iowa Constitution that would give human embryos a right to life beginning at conception.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE: Changes to laws governing medical malpractice lawsuits failed to gain traction in the Legislature despite calls from Branstad in his Condition of the State address.
BOTTLE BILL EXPANSION: Supporters of the states beverage container deposit program want to expand it to include plastic bottles for water and sports drinks and increase the reimbursement rate for recyclers and grocery stores that collect the containers.
GUN PERMIT CONFIDENTIALITY: Republicans wanted to make gun permit records confidential, arguing that allowing public access to such documents could represent a danger to gun owners and non-owners alike.
TROOPERS: The ranks of the Iowa State Patrol, which had about 455 troopers in 2000, have dwindled to about 363 troopers because of repeated budget cuts. But lawmakers have declined proposals to rebuild the force.
BAN ON TRAFFIC CAMERAS: Many Iowa motorists strongly oppose automated traffic enforcement cameras that issue tickets to speeders and vehicles running red lights. The Senate rejected a ban this session, but its doubtful the issue will go away.
RAILROADS: House Republicans again rejected providing state matching funds to secure an $87 million federal grant awarded to the Department of Transportation in 2010 to help establish a passenger train between Chicago and Iowa City.
GAS TAX: A coalition of farm and business groups lobbied for a 10-cent increase in the states gasoline and diesel tax, saying the state needs the $230 million in additional revenue to fix the states roads.
VOTER ID: Republicans have repeatedly pushed for legislation that would require Iowa voters to show photo identification at the polls, saying its a common-sense approach to prevent voter fraud. Democrats call it a voter-suppression effort.
PREGNANT WORKERS:Businesses and government employers would need to make reasonable accommodations for workers at Iowa businesses and government agencies based on pregnancy or childbirth.
PREGNANT INMATES: Restrictions would be imposed on state prison officers and county jailers on using restraints on pregnant inmates.

Last Classic Who Story you watched
An Unearthly Child, always fun to go back to this Susan was so much more interesting in the pilot.
She had a strange fey quality mixed with her strong scientific knowledge that quickly gave way to hysterics in later episodes.
Just watching the comedy sketches on the extras I'd forgotten all about them.
I watched Planet of the Giants earlier this week, first time I had seen it, interesting pacing with parts 3 & 4 cut together. It only runs a bit longer than a new Who episode and would work pretty well as a story for a modern Doctor, I could imagine 11 and the Ponds in this story.

Toshiba shows DLP projector with document camera
updated 04:10 pm EST, Tue January 16, 2007
Toshiba SC35U Projector
Toshiba on Tuesday revealed its latest DLP projector, the TDP-SC35U. The display aims to give presenters options for showing more than prepared 2D images during a class or meeting without needing exotic equipment, the company says. A removable, 0.6-megapixel document camera is attached to the system and lets presenters switch from a computer or video player's source to live images from the camera itself. Toshiba suggests that the camera is useful for showing 3D objects, transparencies, or anything which is either too fragile or too large to be digitally scanned.
The core projector is based around an 800x600 projector with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and a 2,000 ANSI lumen brightness rating. Dual VGA connectors are built in for multiple PCs, as are solitary RCA and S-video ports. Toshiba is already shipping the SC35U today at a price of $899.

Unless you've been living under a rock these past few months, you've probably heard that Millennial Media recently acquired rival mobile ad network Jumptap, in an effort to become the most powerful mobile network in market. I've had a lot of people ask for my opinion on this (bold) move by the two companies to join forces and my reply has been consistently positive. As a buyer, I've always felt like the two companies' strengths always made up for what the other lacked; the perfect odd couple for the mobile industry.
If you've ever been through an acquisition before, you know that the integration of these two businesses won't happen over night; trust me, I've been through two of them. It takes time to manage out this process and make sure that you're keeping the best of the best in both technology and talent. I'd venture to bet that this process could take nearly the entire new year to filter through.
In the meantime, Millennial Media doesn't seem to be slowing down. Last week, they announced a new partnership with one of the longest standing mobile companies in the business, Hipcricket. The two companies are teaming up to offer advertisers deeper analytics across three of the common mobile experiences: mobile applications, mobile web, and messaging services via the Hipcricket AD LIFE® platform.
"The AD LIFE platform combines all aspects of mobile engagement to drive awareness, sales and loyalty," said Ivan Braiker, CEO, Hipcricket. "We are pleased to provide expanded capabilities to Millennial Media's large and diverse client base, and help bridge the mobile advertising and marketing gap with superior technology, data, analytics and insight. This collaboration should enable Hipcricket to deliver technology to exciting new growth markets ripe for embracing our best practices."
This new collaboration will enable Millennial Media to offer Hipcricket's AD LIFE® messaging platform across its rich media and video ad units. This becomes extremely important to Millennial, as they've recently launched a new suite of video ad units that provide the ability for elevated consumer engagement, which requires the tracking capabilities AD LIFE® will provide. Clients leveraging these select mobile ad formats will be able to better understand customer engagements across multiple mobile channels, as well as gain critical insights for driving stronger messaging and retargeting for future campaigns.
"Measurement is critical to moving the needle in mobile advertising," said Frank Weishaupt, SVP, Global Sales & Revenue, Millennial Media. "Brands and agencies require insights and analytics to inform campaign decisions and target the right consumers with the right message. The AD LIFE platform is a comprehensive solution for bringing together mobile advertising and mobile marketing engagements."
In other news surrounding this announcement, Millennial Media and Hipcricket have also announced that they agree to dismiss with prejudice the lawsuit between them. I'm sure everyone can agree that this is a step in the right direction for our industry. I personally look forward to more positive news in the near future from both of these two businesses.

James Starks will start at running back in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but cornerback Casey Hayward has been ruled out, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after practice Wednesday.
Practice and injury report
S Morgan Burnett (hamstring) limited in practice.
CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring) did not practice.
TE Jermichael Finley (toe) did not practice.
CB Casey Hayward (hamstring) out.
FB John Kuhn (hamstring) did not practice.
RB Eddie Lacy (concussion) did not practice.
DT Johnny Jolly (neck) full practice.
More from McCarthy
Highlights from McCarthy's press conference:
On running back Eddie Lacy's return from a concussion
Eddie Lacy is making progress. Seems to be doing fine. Going through protocol. He looks good, hes in the meeting, thats always a positive sign. He has couple more tests tomorrow to pass before he can practice.
On the officiating in the Washington game
I have no comment on officiating. Theres procedure and opportunity to communicate with league office. As far as whats called and not called, thats why they have system in place. Sometimes you get calls and sometimes you dont.
On the Bengals' offense
Andy Dalton good football player. I like their scheme. They are big up front, good use of tight ends. Dalton looks a lot more comfortable. Very good challenge for our defense.
On Starks after his big game against Washington
James Starks I look at as a starter. Hell get the starting opportunity this week.
On Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green
Any time you have primary target like A.J. Green, that will be a focus of defense. Very aware of him, very good football player, definitely part of emphasis.
On Bengals coach Marvin Lewis
So impressed with Marvin Lewis as a football coach. Had a chance to work with him at University of Pittsburgh. Outstanding coach, great personality, good man. His ability to relate to players, coach on the field, his record speaks for itself.
♦ My first year as head coach, it didnt start good, he was one coach that called me. He asked how you are doing, I said Im hiding under the desk right now. He said get up and it will get better. Ive never forgotten it.
On the Packers' offense
Things you can accomplish staying in one personnel group on offense (in no-huddle). We have offensive group thats been together for most part for number of years. Two approaches: some think you should slow it down, or play as fast as you can and get as many punches as possible. Weve always tried to get as many plays as possible.
On playing at Cincinnati
Road games are totally different than home games. Consistency is important. Things are different: crowd noise, etc. Cincinnati is neat place to play.
On being No. 1 in NFL on first-down plays
Its only been two games. I think Week 4 or 5 stats are more telling.
On rookie running back Johnathan Franklin
Johnathan Franklin had good practice today. Hell probably get some opportunities on Sunday. In hindsight should have played more against Washington. Franklin is doing what hes supposed to do.
On playing the Bengals after their Monday night game
Bengals are at home, so their stress coming off Monday night is minimal. I never look at coming off Monday night as advantage or disadvantage.
On cornerback Casey Hayward, who's out with a hamstring injury
Casey Hayward tells me hes making progress.
On rookie tackle David Bakhtiari
I like the way David Bakhtiaris playing. Its great hes taken advantage of his opportunity. Hes off to a good start.

Briefly: Dash fitness headphones, Nex Band pre-order
updated 04:57 pm EST, Sat February 15, 2014
Dash Bluetooth earbuds offer water-resistance, fitness tracking
Bragi's wireless "smart" headphone set, The Dash, has wildly surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $250,000, with 43 days still remaining in its fundraising campaign. The Dash wireless smart headphones are in-ear, and offer audio playback with the ability to store up to 1,000 songs in its embedded 4GB song player.
Using a Bluetooth connection, the headphones are capable of audio playback, including receiving calls. The Dash also has the ability to track fitness activity, and can track movements like pace, steps, cadence and distance.
Heart rate, oxygen saturation and energy spent are measured, and its on-device touch-sensitive surface allows for accessible control of audio and activity tracking information. The product is expected for October of this year, with the lowest "pre-order" pledge currently available being $200.
Customizable wearable tech 'Charm Bracelet' offers fitness tracking and gaming possibilities
Mighty Cast has recently announced its upcoming modifiable wearable-technology device, the Nex Band. Worn as a wristband, the Nex allows its users to select customizable "Mod" charms that -- while physical in nature -- also provide mobile digital functions that accommodate later expansion. Mods can be inserted in one of its five notches, either as simply decorative pieces or functional action-based components.
Its built-in sensors and multicolor LED lights can perform fitness tracking features, or send simple color-coded light messages to another Nex Ban user. New mods will be priced at $10 per 'charm', with pre-order pricing for the Nex Band is $50, half of its future retail value.

her huge boobs bare just waiting for a milking. She places the suction
cups over her succulent areolas and watches as her dark nipples are
slowly sucked inside and her sweet mothers juice begins to flow out
and down the tube right into waiting bottles. She even helps out by
squeezing her titties causing milk to squirt like a geyser.

After besting teams from 95 U.S. law schools with a first place finish in the American Bar Association's (ABA) National Client Counseling Competition in March, Erin Moss and LaToya Palmer, students at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School's Auburn Hills campus, will compete for the International Client Consultation Competition, beginning on Wednesday, April 6. The competition will take place at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, wrapping up on Saturday, April 9.
Cooley's team of Erin Moss and LaToya Palmer, first place champions in the American Bar Association's (ABA) Law Student Division Client Counseling Competition.
Simulating a law office consultation, the competition puts law students, acting as attorneys, together with a "client" seeking legal expertise. The students are given very little information about the consultation before the client's arrival and are asked to conduct an interview with the client. They brainstorm with him or her to explore possible legal options to help the client achieve his or her goals.
Competition judges evaluate the students' ability to establish an appropriate working atmosphere, listen, understand the client's perspective, analyze the problem, and present various courses of action consistent with the client's goals and objectives.
"I think our success is due to the chemistry that we have together," said Moss. "We were told by the coaches and other competitors after the national competition that we set a certain tone in the room that made the client very comfortable and allowed him to open up." And although they have been successful in past competitions, both students are also preparing to face some new challenges at the international competition.
"The focus of the competition is professional responsibility, so I think one of the main challenges will be trying to understand what other schools and other countries are expecting in regard to professional responsibility," said Palmer. "There are so many people coming from different cultures and different backgrounds. It's hard to understand what the judging criteria are going to be."
To give the students a proper send-off, Cooley Law School held a pep rally for Moss and Palmer on Thursday, March 31 to cheer on the 2010-2011 Client Counseling Competition National Champions.
"The emphasis that Cooley places on professional responsibility issues in its substantive law classes prepared the students and allowed them to excel in the competition," said Church, Cooley professor and assistant dean of programs, planning and assessment. "We are extremely proud of both students and are looking forward to the International competition."
Cooley Law School is the largest law school in the nation. Founded in 1972, the private, non-profit law school operates J.D. programs across Michigan in Lansing, Auburn Hills, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor.

Walter Robb, Co-CEO of Whole Foods Markets gave the Commencement Speech during the 2013 Commencement ceremonies held May 4, 2013.
Text of Walter Robb's 2013 Commencement Speech
Thank you, President Eibeck for that warm introduction, and for your leadership at Pacific these past four years.
My thanks also to Kathy Janssen for her terrific work as chair of our Board of Regents, and to my fellow Regents for their dedication and enthusiasm in serving the University.
I would also like to acknowledge my family—my sons Ted and Chris, who both graduated from Pacific—'02 & '06—And my daughter Abby, the family CEO—and their spouses and the grandkids that are here today. They are the ones that have always been willing to go with me into each and every grocery store we found along the way.
Congratulations to all the distinguished guests, friends, family, and especially graduates of the class of 2013 on this very significant and meaningful day.
Pacific is a magical institution, with a 156-year history of providing a superior education on a foundation of the core liberal arts now integrated with outstanding professional programs, and dedicated to educating the whole student. I trust it is as meaningful to you and your family as it is to mine. And I am sure that today in particular you are grateful for Pacific.
Gratitude is a wonderful emotion. At Whole Foods Market we end every meeting—no matter how spirited—with appreciations for one another. Today as you reflect on all that you have shared and experienced here, be grateful for this time and for all the people who have helped you along the way.
It is a pleasure and honor to speak with you today. It is also a big assignment. My kids said don't be boring. My father said get to the point. I said I better get some help, and so with the assistance of Vice President Griego, I talked with a thoughtful group of students to learn what was on your mind.
So here is what I heard—The world you are graduating into is challenging. The outlook is uncertain. There are school loans to pay and many of you do not have jobs or a clear plan. This is making you nervous, discouraged, afraid, and even despairing at times. This is honest and real.
But I also heard this - You are feeling proud, inspired and hopeful—anticipating your next steps. You are reflecting on the lessons learned and the knowledge gained on how to build relationships and experience life outside of the classroom.
And you said, your professors are really interested in you as individuals. They have spent time with you and genuinely want you to succeed. They have helped you develop as whole people.
And finally - As part of your time here, you have explored your "My Why" and the question of what makes "a good society." You have learned that you have the responsibility, the opportunity, the possibility, and the ability to impact the world. Let me tell you up front that in my experience, living a life of purpose and on purpose, to impact the world is everything! And I want that to happen for each of you!
When I graduated from college, I thought I was supposed to be a lawyer, but it didn't work out that way. Nor was I a natural foods guy either. Mom's featured dinners included piggies in a blanket, Bird's Eye frozen squash and succotash, which I tried unsuccessfully to share with my dog Lucky under the table.
I grew up with a family on both coasts and had the benefit of an excellent education, both in high school and college. When I was an undergraduate at Stanford University, one of my professors, Jerry Irish, taught a fantastic class in religious ethics, and he asked us to consider profound and open ended questions about life. I remember to this day our final exam - which was a take home—with just a single question—which was:
Drawing on the readings in this class…. Who are you and in what or whom do you find guidance for the conduct of your life?
I had to dig deep and really reflect on was what important to me—on my values. Values are things you hold in the highest esteem, stakes in the ground, things you use to make decisions and guide your life. What surfaced for me were integrity and ethical behavior, humility, compassion and care for others, open-mindedness, and a willingness to learn.
I assure you it is that final exam that I most remember and the one I most value and I have tried to live my life in accordance with those values. And so I ask you today, who are you and in what or whom do you find guidance for the conduct of your life? What do you believe? What are your values? What are the qualities and inner strengths you most want to develop and cultivate in an ever-changing world?
After college I worked for a time as a paralegal and everyday for six months I rode the train back and forth each day to San Francisco. One afternoon on the way home the train screeched to a halt. Someone had run in front of the train and was hit. The world stopped. Everyone was out on the tracks. I can still remember the moment, amidst all the chaos, there was a voice inside that said I was on the wrong track and needed to make a change. I applied to become a high school teacher and moved to Athens, Georgia. It is probably different for everyone, but I believe these moments are a gift, an insight, and a light forward. Will you listen and trust when those moments come—will you honor your true voice—your heart's call—with action, by making changes in your life?
So I began working as a high school teacher—though just out of school myself—teaching history, geography, and politics. I asserted my entrepreneurial spirit early when I junked some of the assigned textbooks and created a real life curriculum around politics with issues forums, trips to the city council and planning commission meetings, and debates with elected officials. We also started a nice organic garden on campus and sold the produce in the school parking lot twice a week.
After one year, for family reasons we moved back to California and to the Central Valley and took a crack at almond farming on my then wife's family farm. I was interested and excited to try out some of my new-fangled innovations like planting out the berms and bringing in sheep to mow the weeds and grass. Well one evening the sheep went across the road and went into my neighbor's vineyard where he had his grapes down on the ground making raisins. He showed up at our door around 3 am with a shotgun in his hand and said either we get the sheep out or he would. That sort of thing, along with the fact I wasn't very adept mechanically at fixing tractors, and that while burning weeds one day with gas instead of diesel I scorched myself with second degree burns, were the clues that helped me to see that farming was not my calling either.
So we moved to Trinity County way up in Northern California and I became a writer roaming the county interviewing old timers and looking for history and stories. This research resulted in a full-length book. But when this project was complete—what to do next? There was nowhere to run or hide - and I had to recognize I had no more run way. I had to declare who I was and make a decision. These times comes to those who desire a life of purpose. You will not get away from it until you face it head on. What is your way forward in life? What is right for you?
I had been reading Wendell Berry, Francis Moore Lappe, and Robert Rodale, publisher of Organic Gardening magazine, learning how to garden, grind my own flour and make my own bread, participating in community meetings at the local Civil Defense Hall and thinking about whole grains and more nutritious foods for people and communities. So when the question came at the end of the research project, we bumbled stumbled and tumbled to a decision to start a small natural food store in 1977.
Starting a little store seemed like a good direction to go. Seems easy to see it looking back on it now, but it was damn hard to come up with it then. It was just one of those moments where you take a leap of faith and trust something—trust yourself. So Mountain Marketplace was born. And I will say that from the very beginning it felt right.
What was the moment of that decision? What was the inspiration? I am not completely sure but it started as a small seed, a little idea, and truth in part—out of a sense of desperation. But the idea gathered some momentum and things really came together when my stepfather wrote me a check for 10k on the spot after hearing my proposal, saying I believe in you. When you make up your mind, the universe can line up behind you, and resources show up. I had no business or retail experience but I was fueled by passion and a desire to do something impactful. We learned as we went along. We leased an old auto garage up on the north highway and on our knees scrubbed the cement floor with muriatic acid. There was no insulation so we bought a wood stove for heat. We built some wooden fixtures and then put them in place for the inventory. Our opening order cost 3k and the owner of the distribution company drove it to us himself.
The next day we spray painted a rough sawn pine board "open" and propped it up against an old cinder block, and did 200 dollars on our first day. After a year or so we were able to move downtown into a nice historic building. I was now officially a small town grocer, working 7 days a week, and ending each day in the basement counting the money, putting it in the green bank bag, and walking down 2 blocks to put it in the night deposit drop at the Bank of America on Main Street.
So here is my takeaway from my teacher—farmer—writer—and natural grocer chapters….There is value in every chapter of your life. As Thich Nhat Hanh said so beautifully, "I have arrived. I am home. My destination is in each step."
Finding your calling—your purpose—is a journey. For only a few folks does it come out of the sky like a thunderbolt. Most of us have to work for it. The answer comes in little bits—bits that have to be affirmed, trusted, listened to, and then acted upon if you are to find your way. It is a most precious unfolding for it is with this unfolding that you find yourself. Maybe Aristotle's words are helpful, "Where your talents and the needs of the world cross; there lies your vocation."
Once you are moving in your purpose, your purpose keeps gaining momentum, growing and even expanding in scope, feeding on itself. You are growing your conviction and confidence even as the ups and downs come, which they most assuredly will.
And even in the ups and downs, because you are moving in your purpose, you will persevere. Like a ship at sea with fog all around, such that you can't see the next shore, steer by the thing you know inside - and use your values as beacons. Remember also you must first let go of the shore from where you sailed so you can be open to what is next. You can't necessarily know how it will turn out, but that is the beauty and wonder of the open sea.
After 10 years with the store, I was bouncing off the walls. I didn't have a plan, just a sense that there was something more—that the world was a bigger place and that I wanted something more challenging. Everything was right about the store, about the community and serving the community but the desire for more of a challenge kept growing. We sold the store and moved to the Bay Area where I managed a natural food store and then later transitioned to sales, offering a natural rice mix to supermarkets out of the back of my trunk. This was in the early days of cell phones when they were the size of a large brick, and I remember driving around and making calls feeling like a pretty big cheese. This was to be the only time in my career where I was out of retail. Soon I began looking for a new place to do another store.
After several years, I had a lease in hand, and I was raising money to build and open my store when John Mackey came calling. It was hard to give up my own entrepreneurial effort, but in Whole Foods I saw a chance to be entrepreneurial within the context of a quality company, and I negotiated lots of room to move. It has worked out well.
So we opened the Mill Valley store on the July 4th weekend 1992—Store number 12 for Whole Foods Market. The store was on the site of what had been the original grocery store in town, and I remember in our enthusiasm to bring in customers, we used one of the original ads with prices from the 1930's, including fresh banana splits for a nickel. That turned out to be a big hit except we ran out of our own chocolate sauce by noon and had to go down the street to Safeway to buy all of their chocolate sauce.
The store went on from that auspicious opening to become very successful and taught me so much about business.
This decision to sell to Whole Foods was a hard one and a close one too. My takeaway is that often the most important decisions, the ones that really shape your life, are often the most difficult because you know what is on the line. There are always choices to make. Often these choices come down do the slimmest of margins, tipped one way or the other by an intuition, a hunch, a feeling in your gut. There isn't necessarily a right choice or a wrong choice, just your choice. This is where having values and purpose really help.
From this point things have just continued to evolve—Whole Foods has moved from the fringe, to a fad, to the mainstream and to cutting edge over these many years. There have been many risks along the way, and there have been many risky decisions. The success of Whole Foods could not have been predicted, nor was it expected or planned, but it arrived anyway. I think it is Ok to say this now—the truth is we made it up as went along. And I have enjoyed every moment.
You may remember that one of my original values was open-mindedness and willingness to learn. I have learned so much along this journey—grown so much as a leader—in ways that continue to be both humbling and inspiring. One of the biggest lessons is to learn to let go—and empower others. If you don't let go then there is no room for others to grow. Not letting go keeps the world smaller, and letting go makes it bigger—creates the space where others can flourish—and this in turn helps you to build a team and a company.
And I have learned about both service and love in leadership.
Gandhi said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."And it is true—in supporting others, in encouraging them, and in helping them to achieve their goals, not only does a company succeed but you will also find more fulfillments.
And then there is love. Love and fear are the two most powerful forces in the universe, and love is the most powerful of all. I am a very competitive person, driven to succeed and win. And that is very useful and healthy up to a point. But it cannot come at the expense of your integrity or your care for others, and in fact the truth is they can exist side-by-side quite well. I can compete with respect for my competitor. I can compete on the high road and still do everything possible for Whole Foods to win.
As I have gotten older, as I have lived more years as a father, and now a grandfather, I have seen and felt the power of love, and worked to cultivate it in my leadership and my life. I keep learning to use my head but lead from and with my heart.
It isn't always easy to live a life of purpose—in addition to your values you are going to need courage. Courage by the way is not the absence of fear—rather it is the quality of the heart that allows you to overcome fear, which of course we all have. Cultivate and practice letting go, loving and being courageous in your life.
Let me share with you that I feel so incredibly privileged and grateful. I don't feel like I have worked a day in my life nor do I feel any separation between my work and my life—my work is my life, and my life's work is our passion and purpose unfolding. From this I would suggest—seek fulfillment more than balance, and continue to seek it each and every day. I know you will be richly rewarded.
You know this is a challenging moment in time—but remember that while there is a deficit of jobs, there is also a surplus of work to do. I know this is your moment in time. This is when you have the most opportunity and the fewest obligations.
And your generation gets it. That sustainability and awareness is a must not a maybe. That interdependence is the natural way of the world and not an afterthought. Stewardship of the environment follows from this. And your generation also knows that communication, cooperation and collaboration are the way forward. To affirm the dignity and worth of each other, we must understand other perspectives.
There is no one-way to live a life of purpose; there is just your way. But—it is your responsibility to find it.
Don't ask what you ought to do - or want to do. Ask yourself what you love to do and then go make a living and a life doing it.
People will tell you it can't be done. It's simply not true. Dream big—it's free—and it just might work.
Find your calling. Honor your values. Walk in your purpose.
I wish you Godspeed and a purpose filled life. Thank you.

Ridge's Derek Lyons (right), shown here blocking a shot against Somerville on Dec. 20, 2012, is the Courier News Boys Basketball Player of the Week.

Nothing heats up a cold winter night quite like a high school boys basketball rivalry game. When Governor Livingston played host to New Providence Saturday, the 800-seat gym sold out a day in advance. The JV game that preceded the main event unfolded before a packed house too.
Such neighborhood showdowns dot the schedule this winter. Here's a rundown of the best ones in the Courier News area, in no particular order.

I lay in this bed
Unable to sleep
Lonely thoughts and memories
Slowly my eyes begin to weep
I think about how I got here
It's a night that I regret
I toss and turn for hours
Leaving my sheets damp from cold sweat
And I can hear all your warnings
Its an echo inside my mind
If only I could flip over the hourglass
And turn back the hands of time
I wouldn't be in this position
Never would have crossed that line
Instead I'd be with you….
Sipping on our life slowly
Like everyday was the finest of wine
I'd hold precious moments
Live each day like its our last
But instead I'm laying in this bed….
Thinking about memories that have passed.

Reese McGuire, C, Kentwood HS (WA), 6'1", 190, L/R
In a class filled with prep catching talent, McGuire stands out thanks to his outstanding defense and power potential from the left side. His defensive game is impressive in all aspects as he shows a very strong arm, moves well and can block nearly anything. Perfect Game had his pop time in the 1.8 second range and he clocked in at 1.9 in the All-American Game at Petco Park on a pitch that nearly bounced. There is no question that he will stay at catcher at the next level and he could easily be a plus defender there when all is said and done. At the plate, McGuire shows good raw bat speed and a smooth, clean swing. There could be some power down the road for McGuire and while you're definitely buying the defense first here, he has plenty of raw hitting tools as well.

When everyone was doing drugs,
we were just doing love
A stranger said you're strange like me
Ana, our dreams are coming true
Don't tell me that a day will come
when we dress like everyone
'cuz I can tell you're strange like me
Don't say the hour's growing late
Don't say we should be going straight
'cuz I can tell you're strange like me
And dreams can still come true,
and it's coming true for you

Indiana's students and teachers recently marked impressive academic gains, but it's unlikely you've heard a word about it.
Third grade students took the second annual IREAD-3 exam in March. One might assume the Indiana Department of Education was eager and waiting to pore over the data to celebrate successes with parents, students and teachers. Here is a clear opportunity to spotlight incredible gains made by teachers and students, and to determine which schools need more help in teaching basic literacy skills.
Unfortunately, none of these things happened. ...

- Made by a small family company
- Gourmet quality from La Mancha
- Infused with all natural wine and spices
- Top quality raw milk
- No coloring added
- Size - Three 1.1 lb/17.6 oz half wheels
A small family cheesemaker from La Mancha offers these three incredible cheeses. Fresh rosemary leaves, red wine or smoked paprika from La Vera are blended directly into the cheeses, lending a distinctive natural flavor and delightful color to each of these very special cheeses.
The first is fundamentally a Manchego cheese, but at the very earliest part of the cheesemaking process ground fresh rosemary leaves are blended with the sheep's milk, imparting the aromatic flavor of the La Mancha countryside. The second is a mild, tangy goat's milk cheese mixed with red wine which adds a touch of sweetness and a delightful wine aroma. The last is also a goat's milk cheese with the distinctly Spanish flavor of smoked paprika from La Vera - the bright orange color comes only from this vibrant spice. All three are made using very fresh raw milk.
Other suppliers merely submerge their cheeses in wine or coat the exterior with rosemary or pimentón (smoked paprika). Buenalba cheeses are unique, blending the wine and herbs directly into the cheese, with a beautiful presentation and a delicious, approachable flavor profile. All are made by the Alvarez Valera family, who shepherd the animals themselves, ensuring the freshest, finest quality cheeses possible. The family has been running the company for four generations, with decades of experience and a focus on quality, all natural cheeses.
Sheep's Milk Cheese with Rosemary: raw sheep's milk, salt, animal rennet, rosemary, lactic ferments and egg lysozime (E-1105). Goat's Milk Cheese with Paprika: raw goat's milk, salt, animal rennet, paprika, lactic ferments and egg lysozime (E-1105). Goat's Milk Cheese with Red Wine: raw goat's milk, salt, animal rennet, wine, lactic ferments and egg lysozime (E-1105).

Arnold listened as if he were hearing the price of codfish and hams.
"Very like a whale, if not like a codfish," said Miss Wayland, laughing heartily.
"You don't want to make a pig of yourself, codfish," admonished Carncross.
It was the codfish whistled, not I; it's a way they have on Friday evenings.
"And to think that I paid ten dollars to get them here," reflected the codfish.
DON'T stare at me like that, with your mouth open like a—like a codfish.
After ten minutes' reading, the codfish slapped his knee with a resounding slap and gave evidence of excitement.
Down went the basket and the codfish and Mr. Kendall seized him by both hands.
When they can't find old 'codfish' they'll come wandering back again.
"But you want to be careful—they are awful sly," said codfish.
