Hearing impairment
Deafening, Frances Itani (2003). HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
From the Publisher
Deaf since she was five years old, Grania has learned that watching is not always enough to survive in the world of the hearing. She has learned that words can often be impossible to see, their shape disappearing into a place where she cannot decipher their skittery ways. Sent to the Ontario School for the Deaf in Belleville, Grania must learn to live away from her loving family, lonely for the company of her sister and the secret language they shared. When Grania falls in love with Jim, a young hearing man from the east coast, her life seems complete, but the First World War soon tears them apart and sweeps him into the worst of experiences - trench warfare. At the Western Front, Jim is tested to his limit as he and his buddy Irish - both stretcher bearers - retrieve the shattered bodies of their comrades.
Fueled by tremendous word-of-mouth excitement at the Frankfurt Book Fair, Deafening has already become an international publishing phenomenon, with rights sold in over 12 countries so far. Author Frances Itani, the source of this unprecedented attention for a debut novel, has steadily been gaining a stellar reputation for her short fiction collections, her most recent, Leaning, Leaning Over Water, receiving ecstatic reviews. Touted as "writer to watch," Itani has lived up to her accolades with Deafening.
Her depiction of a world where sound exists only in the margins is a singular feat in literary fiction, a place difficult to leave and even harder to forget. Elegantly written, with grace and precision, Deafening is, above all, a deeply moving journey through the strands of strength and vulnerability that weave heart and spirit together.
Journey into the Deaf World, Harlan Lane, Robert Hoffmeister, & Ben Bahan. (1996). San Diego: Dawn Sign Press.
From the Publisher
A compelling story of this much misunderstood minority as it struggles for self-determination.
Seeing Voices: A Journey into the World of the Deaf, Oliver Sacks (2000). NY: Vintage Books.
From the Publisher
"This book will shake your preconceptions about the deaf, about language and about thought--. Sacks [is] one of the finest and most thoughtful writers of our time."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
Like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, this is a fascinating voyage into a strange and wonderful land, a provocative meditation on communication, biology, adaptation, and culture. In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect--a minority with its own rich, sometimes astonishing, culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication that tells us much about the basis of language in hearing people as well. Seeing Voices is, as Studs Terkel has written, "an exquisite, as well as revelatory, work."
Train Go Sorry, Leah H. Cohen (1995). Random House Canada.
From the Publisher
This portrait of New York's Lafayette School for the Deaf is not just a work of journalism. It is also a memoir, since Leah Hager Cohen grew up on the school's campus and her father is its superintendent. As a hearing person raised among the deaf, Cohen appreciates both the intimate textures of that silent world and the gulf that separates it from our own.
Wired for Sound: A Journey into Hearing, Beverly Biderman (1998). Trifolium Books Inc.
From the Publisher
This rare "inside" account of hearing with a cochlear implant, the first effective artificial sensory organ ever developed, is a moving story about a deaf woman's journey through deafness and into hearing. Wired for Sound is essential for understanding both deafness and the strange experience of hearing with a cochlear implant. Includes the voices of a wide range of deaf people talking about their deafness, and a balanced exploration of the explosive issues of the Deaf culture's opposition to cochlear implants. A "must read" for anyone needing to make an informed choice about cochlear implants, and for parents of deaf children, as well as teachers, doctors, therapists, audiologists, and other professionals who work with hearing impaired people. Detailed appendix includes comprehensive listing of over 75 international resources on deafness and cochlear implants, plus an annotated Recommended Reading list.
Cultural issues
Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures. Anne Fadiman (1998). Douglas & McIntyre.
From the Publisher
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction
When three-month-old Lia Lee Arrived at the county hospital emergency room in Merced, California, a chain of events was set in motion from which neither she nor her parents nor her doctors would ever recover. Lia's parents, Foua and Nao Kao, were part of a large Hmong community in Merced, refugees from the CIA-run "Quiet War" in Laos. The Hmong, traditionally a close-knit and fiercely people, have been less amenable to assimilation than most immigrants, adhering steadfastly to the rituals and beliefs of their ancestors. Lia's pediatricians, Neil Ernst and his wife, Peggy Philip, cleaved just as strongly to another tradition: that of Western medicine. When Lia Lee Entered the American medical system, diagnosed as an epileptic, her story became a tragic case history of cultural miscommunication.
Parents and doctors both wanted the best for Lia, but their ideas about the causes of her illness and its treatment could hardly have been more different. The Hmong see illness aand healing as spiritual matters linked to virtually everything in the universe, while medical community marks a division between body and soul, and concerns itself almost exclusively with the former. Lia's doctors ascribed her seizures to the misfiring of her cerebral neurons; her parents called her illness, "qaug dab peg--the spirit catches you and you fall down--and ascribed it to the wandering of her soul. The doctors prescribed anticonvulsants; her parents preferred animal sacrifices.
Neurological Disorders
An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales, Oliver Sacks (1995). Random House Canada
chapters.indigo Review
Imagine being a respected artist - with no ability to see or imagine colour. Or a surgeon who routinely performs delicate operations despite outbursts of Tourette's syndrome. Or a professor with a Ph.D in animal science but no grasp of human emotion thanks to autism. With these and four other fascinating tales, Dr. Oliver Sacks explores the world of neurological disorder and creativity.
A Life Shaken: My Encounter with Parkinson's Disease, Joel Havemann (2004). The John Hopkins University Press.
From the Publisher
I'm flat on my back on a couch that's too short in a windowless room in the bureau. I can't even sit at a computer, much less make a keyboard work. My arms and legs are shaking uncontrollably. Although I am only 53 years old, I have already been struggling with Parkinson's disease for seven years. And right now the disease is winning." So begins Joel Havemann's account of the insidious disease that is Parkinson's. Into his own story, Havemann weaves accessible explanations of how Parkinson's disrupts the brain's circuitry, how symptoms are managed through drugs and surgery, and how people cope with the disease's psychological challenges. This new paperback edition features an updated discussion of the latest treatment options as well as recent developments in the search for a cure.
Awakenings, Oliver Sacks (1999). Vintage.
From the Publisher
"One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time." --The Washington Post
"Compulsively readable. . . . Dr. Sacks writes beautifully and with exceptional subtlety and penetration into both the state of mind of his patients and the nature of illness generally. . . . A brilliant and humane book." --A. Alvarez, The Observer
Awakenings--which inspired the major motion picture--is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I. Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, "awakening" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a changed world.
By His Side: Life and Love after Stroke, Eileen Steets Quann (2002). Fastrak Press.
Book Description
In April 1997 John Quann, 59 years old and in excellent health, suffers a catastrophic stroke. Following an emergency craniotomy, he remains paralyzed on his right side, unable to understand or communicate. By His Side - Life and Love after Stroke is a courageous story of determination, hope, patience and love as he and his wife Eileen work together to recover. After coping with the initial terror of the stroke, they are faced with the challenge of living with and recovering from aphasia, a communication disorder that affects a person's ability to understand, speak, read or write. Written with honesty and humor by the spouse, this book explores the difficult decisions that must be made and the wide range of emotions experienced by the spouse-caregiver. While offering hope, encouragement and practical advice, ultimately this is a love story about a husband and wife who fall in love after the stroke. As both parties grow and change together, they discover that who they have become is far more important than what happened to them. Unlike other books on the subject that focus on the physical disabilities of a stroke, it describes how they dealt with aphasia, the personal aspects of which are rarely documented since its victims are often unable to tell the story, yet aphasia is a fascinating and bizarre aberration of the mind that affects more than one million Americans, with 85,000 new cases occurring every year.
How to Conquer the World with One Hand and an Attitude, Paul E. Berger & Stephanie Mensh (1999). Positive Power Publishing.
Book Description
This is the story of a young man's recovery from a devastating stroke, taking the reader on a journey far beyond the typical "survivor" story, into the depths of a young man's feelings, across ten years of physical and emotional challenges. "Paul does not let anything stop him from exploring and treating life as a gutsy adventure," says Barbara Newborn, author of "Return to Ithaca." Follow Paul's story from his fight to live...his stubborn determination to return to work...his joy in testing his physical limits...getting lost in a coal mine...lobbying Congress on the space program...traveling to Europe...finding job, losing jobs...building a new career and a new life.
My Stroke of Luck, Kirk Douglas (2001). HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
From the Publisher
My stroke taught me so much, and for all that it stole, it gave me even more. In the process of healing, my life has changed for the better. Now I want to share what I have learned.
In this vivid and very personal reflection upon his extraordinary life as an actor, author, and legend in his own time, Kirk Douglas offers a candid and heartfelt memoir of where it all went right in his life -- even after suffering a debilitating stroke. Revealing not only the incredible physical and emotional toll of his stroke but how it has changed his life for the better, Douglas shares the lessons that saved him and helped him to heal. Alongside his heartfelt advice and insight, he also recalls warm memories of some of the most famous figures of our time -- including Burt Lancaster, Michael J. Fox, and Gary Cooper -- as well as others who have soared to greatness in the face of adversity.
Charming, soulful, and filled with personal photographs, My Stroke of Luck is an intimate look at the real person behind the fabulous talent -- and at a life lived to its very fullest.
My Year Off: Recovering Life After a Stroke, Robert McCrum (1999). Broadway.
Book Description
Four years ago, Robert McCrum -- 42 years old, newly married, and at the top of Britain's publishing world -- awoke to find himself totally paralyzed on the left side. In the weeks to come, McCrum would have to face harsh realites: His life was irrevocably changed by a massive cerebral hemorrhage, and medical science could neither pinpoint the cause nor offer any guarantee of recovery. My Year Off poignantly traces McCrum's frustrations and inspirations as he faces an incomprehensible battle of recovery. Interspersed with excerpts from the journals he and his wife kept, and now featuring a poignant afterword on the tremendous reader response McCrum has received, My Year Off reflects the remarkable power of love to heal the body and soul.
One-Handed in a Two-Handed World, Tommye-K. Mayer (1999). Prince-Gallison Press.
Book Description
A step-by-step guidebook for managing just about everything with the use of one hand whether your one-handedness is temporary, long-term, or permanent.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Jean-Dominique Bauby (1998). Random House Canada.
From the Publisher
In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young childen, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book.
By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him.
Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
This book is a lasting testament to his life.
The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks (1998). Touchstone.
From the Publisher
In his most extraordinary book, "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century" (The New York Times) recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.
If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine's ultimate responsibility: "the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject."
Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson Mitch Albom (2002). Broadway Books
From the Publisher
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.
Autism and PDD
Emergence: Labeled Autistic, Temple Grandin (1996). Warner Books.
chapters.indigo Review
A true story that is both uniquely moving and exceptionally inspiring, Emergence is the first-hand account of a courageous autistic woman who beat the odds and cured herself. As a child, Temple Grandin was forced to leave her "normal" school and enroll in a school for autistic children. This searingly honest account captures the isolation and fears suffered by people with autism and their families and the quiet strength of one woman who insisted on a miracle.
Exiting Nirvana: A Daughter's Life with Autism, Clara Claiborne-Park (2002). Little Brown USA
From the Publisher
Reprising her own now classic work The Siege, which covered the early years of her autistic daughter's life, Clara Claiborne Park gives us a moving, eloquent portrait of Jessy as an autistic adult -- still struggling with language, with hypersensitivities and obsessions, and with the social interactions that most of us take for granted, but at the same time achieving more than her parents could have hoped for, becoming an accomplished artist, and growing into an active member of her family and community.
Nobody Nowhere: The Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic, Donna Williams (1994). Avon Books.
From the Publisher
"This is a story of two battles, a battle to keep out 'the world' and a battle to join it."She inhabits a place of chaos, cacophony, and dancing light--where physical contact is painful and sights and sounds have no meaning. Although labeled, at times, deaf, retarded, or disturbed, Donna Williams is autistic--afflicted by a baffling condition of heightened sensory perception that imprisons the sufferer in a private, almost hallucinatory universe of patterns and colors. Nobody Nowhere is Donna's story in her own words--a haunting, courageous memoir of the titanic struggles she has endured in her quest to merge "my world" with "the world."
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Mark Haddon (2003). Doubleday Canada
From the Publisher
Narrated by a fifteen-year-old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions.
Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher's carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour's dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing.
Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents' marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher's mind.
And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon's choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.
The Siege: A Family's Journal into the World of an Autistic Child, Clara Claiborne-Park (1982). Little Brown USA
From the Publisher
At age two, in 1960, Jessy Park was withdrawn, unable to walk or talk, yet oddly content within the invisible walls that surrounded her. The study of autism was still in its infancy. This powerfully moving book charts a surprising journey of discovery as it records the challenges and rewards of the first eight years of Jessys life.
Thinking in Pictures, Temple Grandin (1996). Random House Canada.
From the Publisher
Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person. She tells us how she managed to breach the boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition and our own while shedding light on our common identity.
Down Syndrome
A Special Kind of Hero, Chris Burke (1993). Dell.
Book Description
Chris Burke became one of America's favorite personalities when he starred as "Corky" on the hit ABC television series Life Goes On. Not since Helen Keller has one person so thoroughly changed the way the world views people with disabilities. Twenty-five years earlier, when Chris was born with Down syndrome, doctors advised his parents to put him in an institution. Instead, they showered him with love, and encouraged him to reach for his dreams.This is Chris' story, and the story of his family's love and determination. Here he tells what it's really like to grow up with Down syndromeÖhow he pursued his seemingly impossible show business goals...and how he has dedicated his life to helping people with special needs, especially those with what he calls "Up syndrome." Journalist JoBeth McDaniel first wrote about Chris in a Life magazine cover story. For this book, she spent many months with Chris and his family, and interviewed dozens of his coworkers and friends.Profoundly inspirational, A Special Kind of Hero is a triumphant story of courage and hope that proves Chris' motto: "Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
Choosing Naia: A Family's Journey, Mitchell Zuckoff (2002). Beacon Press.
From the Publisher
A powerful story, based on an award-winning series of articles, about a modern family and Down syndrome
Halfway through their first pregnancy, Greg and Tierney Fairchild hear the news all expectant parents dread: their baby isn't perfect. A routine ultrasound reveals that the fetus Tierney carries has a major heart defect. Making matters worse, the nature of the defect leads doctors to suspect it might be a symptom of Down syndrome. With those events as its starting point, Choosing Naia examines the exploding world of prenatal information--and the emotional maelstrom that ensues from an unwanted test result--through the prism of the Fairchild family's experiences.
Rapid advances in prenatal testing are enabling doctors to diagnose with great certainty a wide assortment of problems inside the womb. But that's where certainty ends. As they struggle with grief and confusion, would-be parents have only days or weeks to make choices--abortion, adoption, or continuing the pregnancy and keeping the child--whose reverberations are bound to alter the course of many lives.
In the Fairchilds' case, those choices are further complicated by race. Having married across racial lines, Greg and Tierney can imagine the discrimination felt by the disabled. Ultimately, that understanding informs their decision about whether and how to parent a disabled child. Once the choice is made, they face a difficult delivery, where Tierney's vigilance literally saves her baby's life, and high-risk open-heart surgery before the baby they name Naia can celebrate her first birthday. After clearing those hurdles, the Fairchilds face new barriers they must tear down on behalf of their beloved child for all thedays of their lives.
Mitchell Zuckoff won the 2000 Distinguished Writing Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors for his series "Choosing Naia," which also was honored by the National Down Syndrome Congress and the American Association on Mental Retardation.
Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic, Martha Beck (2000). Berkley
From the Publisher
The "slyly ironic, frequently hilarious" (Time) memoir about angels, academics, and a boy named Adam...
A national bestseller and an important reminder that life is what happens when you're making other plans.
Put aside your expectations. This "rueful, riveting, piercingly funny" (Julia Cameron) book is written by a Harvard graduate -- but it tells a story in which hearts trump brains every time. It's a tale about mothering a Down syndrome child that opts for sass over sap, and it's a book of heavenly visions and inexplicable phenomena that's as down-to-earth as anyone could ask for. This small masterpiece is Martha Beck's own story -- of leaving behind the life of a stressed-out superachiever, opening herself to things she'd never dared consider, meeting her son for (maybe) the first time ... and "unlearn[ing] virtually everything Harvard taught [her] about what is precious and what is garbage."
"Beck [is] very funny, particularly about the most serious possible subjects -- childbirth, angels and surviving at Harvard." --New York Times Book Review
"Immensely appealing...hooked me on the first page and propelled me right through visions and out-of-body experiences I would normally scoff at." --Detroit Free Press
"I challenge any reader not to be moved by it." --Newsday
"Brilliant." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Learning disabilities
Reading David: A Mother and Son's Journey Through the Labyrinth of Dyslexia, Lisa Weinstein (2003). Continuum Publishing Co.
From the Publisher
Lissa Weinstein made a career of helping others understand the nature of learning disabilities, but when her own son was diagnosed with dyslexia, she found herself just as frustrated and confused as the parents she counseled.
In their own words, Lissa and David Weinstein express the confusion, fear, faith and love they found on a journey that taught David to read, and brought mother and son closer than they had ever been.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Martin Brodeur pumped his fists before being swallowed by jubilant teammates, and the packed house at the Prudential Center chanted his name over and over.
It was history.
But here's the thing: If history suggests something musty and complete, then this moment wasn't history, because Martin Brodeur looks like he's just getting warmed up.
Maybe that's why when the New Jersey Devils goaltender gave up trying to scissor his way through the netting around his goal and took a victory lap around the ice following his NHL-record 552nd regular-season win Tuesday night, it was less about celebrating the completion of a task and more about celebrating something more.
An evolving masterpiece, perhaps.
After he embraced his father, Denis, who spent most of the night with his ever-present camera trained on his son, and met briefly with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, Brodeur talked about his relief that it was over.
That was, in fact, his first thought when the buzzer ended in the New Jersey Devils' 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
"It's finally over," he said. "You know, I think the road to it was pretty easy to a certain extent. I think I didn't have to have the hiccups of losing a couple of games and have it in the back of my mind. And that was one thing I feared a little bit. And so, for me, when I heard the buzzer, I was like, 'Wow, it's over now. This is good.'
"And, again, I didn't want this chase to this record to be a disturbance to the team because we played so well all year and now we're coming into a last stretch here to get ourselves into the playoffs. And I didn't want it to drag too long."
Although he faced 32 shots Tuesday night, Brodeur barely seemed to break a sweat.
Was there a moment when it appeared as though Brodeur might be out of position, might not know exactly where the puck was and where it was going? No.
Was there a rebound to be had all night? There was the one after Brodeur turned aside a dangerous Brian Campbell shot with his blocker and then calmly scooped up the rebound as it bounced toward the goal late in the second period. On the replay, it appeared as though Brodeur was smiling behind his mask, savoring the moment.
If it has not always been so, it just seems that way. It was the kind of performance Brodeur has produced how many times since his first NHL appearance during the 1991-92 season? Well, 552 for those keeping score at home.
On the first Chicago goal, a power-play marker by Cam Barker, Brodeur was screened and had no chance. Then, there was a bit of a stunner when Dustin Byfuglien's turn-around slapper found the net with 2:03 left and brought some drama to the proceedings.
"Well, I felt pretty good, definitely a lot of work, so I didn't have time too much to think outside the box too much," Brodeur said. "And with 10 minutes left, I'm like, 'All right, this is going to probably happen here,' and I was kind of looking at the clock. I was a clock watcher a little bit."
There is nothing in Brodeur that suggests he sees this record as anything but a mark on a line that extends well into the distance. Earlier in the day, Brodeur said he was looking forward to getting Tuesday's game over with and getting on the plane with his teammates and heading for Carolina, where the Devils will play Wednesday night.
No one knows, of course, what will happen in 10 years, or 20, or 100. Maybe someone will come along and put up more wins than Brodeur. But we doubt it.
Consider this:
Brodeur is just 36.
In the past few weeks since returning from elbow surgery, he has shown he is nothing if not resilient, winning eight of nine starts to erase Patrick Roy's record in stunning fashion.
He plans to honor his current contract, which extends three more seasons. Imagine if he averages 30-35 wins a season over that time. It's not inconceivable he could end up with 650 wins.
Who on earth will come along and challenge that number?
The way the game is played now, with an emphasis on balanced goaltending and few netminders commanding the playing time Brodeur has throughout his career, the easy answer is no one.
Curtis Joseph is at the end of his career and he's the closest to Brodeur among active netminders with 451 victories, a full century behind Brodeur. Next is Chris Osgood with 385.
Trying to imagine what it would take for any current top goaltender to topple Brodeur is like trying to wrap your head around cold fusion. It just doesn't compute.
Miikka Kiprusoff, Roberto Luongo, Evgeni Nabokov and Marty Turco are all top netminders and all are at least 300 victories behind Brodeur. 300. They are Brodeur's peers and they are a lifetime away in terms of catching him ... and that's even if he never played another game.
"You have to play a lot of games to be able to win that many games, and that's the bottom line," Brodeur said before Tuesday's game.
Maybe that's what made the moment so memorable.
This is not a player establishing a mark as he closes out a career, a player looking to make a final statement. This is a player who is already thinking ahead to the playoffs and another run at a Stanley Cup.
"Now it will be old news by the time the playoffs start, and that's the way I wanted it to happen," Brodeur said.
Devils coach Brent Sutter, a member of the dynastic New York Islanders teams of the 1980s, was asked where he thought Brodeur's performance ranked.
"Well, I think it's simple. I think a record like this speaks for itself," Sutter said. "I have played on some very, very good hockey teams that have won Stanley Cups, and just some real good teams. As far as a goaltender is concerned, being around Marty for the last year and three quarters, whatever it's been, you can understand why he's accomplished what he's accomplished, and also understand why the organization's accomplished what they've accomplished here as far as success. It goes hand in hand."
Someone asked Brodeur before the game if he thought his assault on the record book was getting enough attention locally. Yet from the moment Brodeur's face appeared on the video scoreboard during the national anthem, sending the crowd into delirium, it was clear everyone in attendance was in tune with the moment.
After one save late in the second, the chant went up again -- "Marty, Marty, Marty" -- and then again late in the third period as the record came fully into view.
Brodeur was asked what will stay with him from this night.
"I think the ovation from the crowd. Me skating around the rink," Brodeur said.
Jamie Langenbrunner, seeing the struggles Brodeur was having cutting through the netting, came over and told him the team would take over.
"He goes, 'We'll cut it down. Go take a lap. I think the fans deserve it,'" Brodeur said. "I've done it with the Stanley Cup on top of my head as a team thing, but that was really a personal thing and it was pretty cool. I had a lot of friends and family. I was trying to look at them in the stands while I was skating. It was definitely a great moment for me."

Very pleased with purchase of this mount
By SteveOGrover
from Undisclosed
Comments about Sanus Full-Motion Wall Mount:
This is the 3rd Sanus mount i've purchased/installed but is the first full motion mount i've used. Like the other Sanus mounts i was immediately impressed with the quality of construction and ease of installation. I did not have any trouble with the lag bolts like i read on other reviews, but i mounted it to a stud using my own construction screws. I would have given it top marks in all categories if leveling the TV was a little easier once the mount was on the wall. Aside from this one point the flexibility of this mount is fantastic. My wife now calls this installation our 'floating tv'.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice, strong, but flawed tv wall mount

About Me Power User
Follow me
Once I drilled out the bracket holes, I was able to finish installation, though it may have voided the warranty. Some engineer didn't calculate the thickness of the paint,bolts would not go though to theaded bracket,to lock in wall mount.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sanus VMF 220
By DC1209
from South Carolina
We added a new addition to our home and wanted a full motion wall mount for our 46" flat screen TV. We purchased the Sanus VMF 220 and installation was done by our contractor. It was about a week later when we discovered that the box had been thrown away with the TV brackets and screws still in the box. We felt terrible about making such a stupid mistake. I went back to the store where I had bought the VMF 220 and they were helpful in getting me the information I needed to get in touch with Sanus. I first went on line to see what parts were missing. I then called Sanus and spoke with a gentleman named Ross. I told him what I needed and he asked me why I didn't have those parts in the box. I then proceeded to tell him what we had done. He chuckled and said most people would have said that the parts were missing when they opened the box. He then said that because of my honesty about what had happened, that he was going to send me the parts I needed free of charge. Good for you Sanus.... There should be more companies out there like you. I will always buy your product and I am sure that I will enjoy this one. Thank you.
Lag Bolts
By marketingman
The lag bolts were not a problem. Just tighten very slowly. I also put a bit of soap on the bolt to make it go int easier. The important thing is measure twice to make sure you are setting it up in the right place. Keep the height as well as the width of the tv in mind.

solid mount
By Gary
from St Charles,il
awesome,solid and easy setup
Defective Lag Screws
By GoDawgs
from Wa
Do not use the lag screws. The quality is poor and they broke in two upon installation.Purchase your own lags, 5/16 x 3 1/2. Also the instructions were pretty much by illustrations only, no written, step by step instructions. It wasn't diifficult but could have been more user friendly It is installed and the TV mounted and functions as advertised.It appears you will need to use care and caution when postioning your TV, It is not the most stable wall mount.
Questionable engineering
By Kitkit
from Kansas
We haven't finished this installation yet, but so far, we are not impressed with the engineering or ease of installation. We also broke lag bolts. In addition, the instruction booklet is weak, a bad sign when trying to mount an expensive tv. Biggest issue at the moment is why on earth the set screw to hold the tv still is located in an absolutely impossible place to reach after dropping the set into the main slot. Did anyone actually TRY doing that before manufacturing? On the other hand, customer phone service is spectacular! Let's hope R&D improves.

Overall install went well but 800# did not help with installation. I installed on concrete wall using concrete screws and went very well.

Siamaze HostelBangkok, Thailand
An extremely clean, comfortable and well-kept hostel. It's a bit out of the way of the main tourist areas, but it's perfect if you are looking for somewhere a bit chilled out amongst the craziness of Bangkok. It's also not far from Sutthisan metro station, so it is not hard to get to other places. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Bed and Terrace Guesthouse Chiang MaiChiang Mai, Thailand
Clean, quiet and well-located guesthouse. The staff are friendly and helpful. The private rooms are a good size and open onto private terraces, which are very nice. There isn't much going on in terms of socialising, activities, etc, but if you're looking for a quiet and relaxing base from which to enjoy Chiang Mai on a budget, this place is perfect.
Singharat Guest HouseLuang Prabang, Laos
Clean, comfortable and well-appointed guesthouse. It is a little removed from the main tourist strip, but can easily be reached on foot (10 minutes) or by taxi. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic, although their English is limited which made communication difficult on occasion. There was, unfortunately, a street party outside during the three days I was there, which ran on late into the night—I was told this does not happen often, so it should not count against the hotel.
Sihome Backpackers HostelVientiane, Laos
This hostel is clean and well-located. The private rooms are spacious and in good condition. There is a pool table and a movie room, which are good for meeting other people, although the atmosphere is relatively quiet (that is, when I was there, people didn't socialise a lot). The staff were pleasant, although their English is limited and they do not appear to have a good knowledge of places to go and things to do in Vientiane. Overall, I think this hostel is decent value.
3Howw Hostel at Sukhumvit 21Bangkok, Thailand
This is an excellent hostel. The building appears to be brand new, the rooms are clean and very comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I would be very happy to stay here again.
Newen Kara HostelSantiago, Chile
Very good, quiet, relaxing hostel. The garden out the back is delightful, the perfect place to chill out and read a book at the end of a big day exploring Santiago. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. The location, in Providencia, is close to lots of excellent restaurants and the subway. The breakfast is satisfying. If you are looking for a quiet hostel to relax and recharge, this is a very good option. The shower is a bit temperamental, though.
Gisela & Carlos houseVina del Mar, Chile
This was an excellent and homely place to stay. The hosts, a delightful family of four, were extremely hospitable, helpful and friendly. The hostel rooms are housed in a separate extension just behind the backyard, which includes a pool, sun lounges and a patio. Gisela and Carlos prepared a hearty breakfast every morning and kept the rooms and living area spotlessly clean. I think this is a terrific option for visitors to Viña and Valparaiso and I would be delighted to stay here again.
Aji HostelSantiago, Chile
Decent but unexceptional hostel. Good location in Providencia, close to a Metro station and a few cafes and shops. Staff were generally friendly and helpful. The kitchen facilities are small and not very well-resourced. The hostel is pretty clean; however, when I arrived, the sheets on my bed had clearly not been changed since the previous guest. They were changed when I pointed this out. Overall, this hostel is fine, but you can probably find better value for money in Santiago.
The Princesa Insolente HostelSantiago, Chile
Good atmosphere, cleanliness and location. The courtyard is a great place to meet other people and the kitchen facilities are excellent. The main problem is that there isn't a lot of space. The dorms are pretty crowded and there is little room to change near the showers. The staff are variable – some are friendly and enthusiastic, others are more aloof. Overall, a decent place to stay for younger backpackers.
Pisko & SoulCusco, Peru
Excellent hostel. Very helpful and friendly English-speaking staff. Clean, comfortable private rooms. Located in the historic district of Cuzco, walking distance from the main square. Free, reliable wifi. Decent breakfast included. I would be very happy to stay at this hostel again.
La Casa Verde - Eco hostelBanos, Ecuador
This is a beautifully maintained mid-range hostel. It is located outside the main town of Baños, but is easily accessible by taxi for about $1.50. The rooms are spacious, very clean and well-appointed, the included breakfast and a la carte dinner options are delicious, and the owners are very helpful. I would highly recommend this hostel to discerning travellers.
Sunflower HostelCali, Colombia
Good, basic hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful, but some spoke very limited English.
La Masia Summer HostelTaganga, Colombia
Overall, this was an excellent hostel. The pool and bar area is like a mini-resort, with comfortable lounges and a chilled-out atmosphere. It's a bit of a hike from the beach, but that also makes it a good place to get away from the incessant Caribbean music that every house in Taganga seems to play at full volume on their outdoor sound system. In the unlikely event that I ever go back to Taganga, I would gladly stay at this hostel again.

The Hostel-Inn Iguazu FallsPuerto Iguazu, Argentina
Good location and excellent facilities, including a large pool and relaxation area. The dorm rooms were a little cramped but fine for a couple of nights. The hostel is quiet and peaceful, which is great if you are keen to relax after coming from the madness of Buenos Aires. Located about 10 minutes from Iguazu Falls by taxi. If you are looking to party in Puerto Iguazu, however, one of the hostels in the town itself (such as the Marco Polo Inn, run by the same people) might be better.

Milhouse HipoBuenos Aires, Argentina
This hostel was excellent. I was initially concerned that, being a well-known party hostel, it would be impossible to get any sleep during the four nights I stayed there. However, the rooms are located a couple of floors above the main bar / party area, so this wasn't a problem. If you are keen to explore the nightlife in BA, there is an outing to a club every night. The staff were friendly and helpful, the location is good and our room was cleaned every day. Very popular with Australians.

Rather tough now, but with seriously good fruit concentration. Cherry and wet earth aromas. Medium-bodied, with full tannins and a tannic finish. Will improve with age. (JS)
The 1995 and 1996 are two of the finest Glorias produced over recent vintages. Both the 1996 and 1995 are uncommonly hedonistic, plump, and precociously-styled wines. Low in acidity, rich in cedary, black currant fruit, medium-bodied, and lush, these two wines will provide delicious drinking young, yet both will age for 10-15 years. The 1995 is lower in acidity, and may not possess quite the density and power of the 1996, but readers looking for high class claret with immediate appeal would be foolish to pass it by. Both wines are sleepers of the vintage. (RP)

When it comes to otherworldly allure, few story ballets can rival Cinderella. Sergei Prokofiev's score haunts and enchants; the melodies mimic what one would expect from the imaginations of stars and fairies.

Nearly a decade in the works, American Masters - American Ballet Theatre: A History feels more like an eccentric personal meditation, or a love letter to the art form, than a historical trek through the company's 75 storied years.
While dance for dance's sake is not new in ballet, neoclassical works, such as Millepied's, typically make the body an instrument of the music.
With material like this, seasoned dancers have to act up a storm to prevent the whole thing from degenerating into a circus.
American Ballet Theatre's 2007 production of The Sleeping Beauty hasenough gorgeous dancing, 19th-century mime characterizations and fairy tale glories to satisfy even the most curmudgeonly among us.
Performed by ABT or not, Sleeping Beauty makes no pretense toward something new or innovative. It is a classic story ballet now more loved by audiences filled with first-timers and little boys and girls dreaming of their own days on stage.

The weight turned out to be too much.
Heads failed to clean 126 kilos (277.2 pounds). Had she made it, she would have put pressure on her good friend and former teammate Cheryl Haworth for the final spot.

My Life - a Timeline
This is an interactive resource. Click the weblink to the right of this page to launch it. A TESiboard ( http://tesiboard.co.uk ) activity to create a timeline of a child's development. Drag the images representing milestones in a child's development onto the timeline. This is great for helping children make sense of how they learn new skills and develop since birth. It helps them think about the learning process - and realise that it continues over time. This could be a preliminary to asking children to bring in their own photos and make a class timeline.
Thanks so much.
A good activity for use with EYFS.
I'm afraid you would need internet connection to access this. It's either that, or you would need to do your own in publisher or powerpoint. Sorry!! :( P.s. good resource.
can anyone suggest how i can use this on our whiteboard as we DO NOT have internet access! many thanks

Lent begins today! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
God's word will be realized. So Elizabeth becomes the next one to encounter his work. The text simply notes this fulfillment by mentioning that she became pregnant. There is no fanfare, just a simple declaration that what the angel had promised in verses 13-17 comes to pass. For some time Elizabeth remained in seclusion. Her withdrawal has no stated motive, though many have speculated on her reasons. What we do know is that she praised God for what he was doing through her. Her disgrace, the reproach of barrenness, was gone. Such thankfulness for the arrival of a child was common (as in Gen 21:6; 30:23). Joy and relief are mixed together in Elizabeth. She appears to be preparing herself for what is ahead. God is powerfully at work again for Israel and for this righteous couple, who are learning anew what it is to trust God. When God speaks and acts, people are supposed to listen. His word will come to pass.

Educational Psychology Developing LearnersAuthor:
Ormrod, Jeanne E.
Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR
Summary: Preface Soon after I wrote the first edition ofEducational Psychology,I had the good fortune to return to a middle school classroom teaching geography to two sections of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. On my first day back in a K-12 setting, I was quickly reminded of how exciting and energizing the process of teaching growing children can be. This experience confirmed once again what I have always known--that the... principles of educational psychology have clear relevance to the decisions a classroom teacher must make on an ongoing basis. How children and adolescents learn and think, how they change as they grow and develop, why they do the things they do, how they are often very different from one another--our understanding of all these things has innumerable implications for classroom practice and, ultimately, for the lives of the next generation. I have been teaching educational psychology since 1974, and I have loved every minute of it. Because I want the field of educational psychology to captivate you the way it has captivated me, I have tried to make the book interesting, meaningful, and thought-provoking as well as informative. I have a definite philosophy about how future teachers can best learn and apply educational psychology-a philosophy that has guided me as I have written all three editions of this book. More specifically, I believe that you can construct a more accurate and useful understanding of the principles of educational psychology when you: Focus on core principles of the discipline Relate the principles to your own learning and behavior Mentally "process" the principles in an effective manner Consider numerous classroom applications of the principles As I will show you in a moment, I have incorporated numerous features into the book that will encourage you to do all of these things. I hope that you will learn a great deal from what educational psychology has to offer, not only about the students you will be teaching but also about yourself--a human being who continues to learn and develop even now. Features of the Book Focusing on Core Principles Rather than superficially explore every aspect of educational psychology, I have chosen to offer in-depth treatment of the fundamental concepts and principles that have broad applicability to classroom practice. If I myself couldn't imagine how a concept or principle could be of use to a teacher, I left it out. I have highlighted many of the key principles in thePrinciples/Assumptionstables that appear throughout the book. Relating Principles to Your Own Learning and Behavior A central goal of this text is to help you discover more about yourself as a thinker and learner. If you can understand how youyourselflearn, you will be in a better position to understand how your students learn and, as a result, to help them learn more effectively. Throughout the book, I've provided many exercises to help you discover important points firsthand and thereby construct a more complete, meaningful understanding of psychological principles of learning, development, motivation, and behavior. Appearing asExperiencing Firsthandfeatures, these exercises are in some ways similar to the "hands-on" activities that can help students learn in elementary and secondary classrooms. But because I ask you to use your mind rather than your hands, you might more accurately think of them as "head-on" experiences. "Processing" Principles Effectively Research tells us that many students, including many at the college level, use relatively ineffective strategies for reading, studying, and learning. But research also tells us that studentscan acquireeffective strategies and that when they begin to use such strategies, they find themselves successfully learning and remembering what they read and hear.

Mediastinal Tumor Resection
DefinitionThe mediastinum is surrounded by the breastbone in front, the spine in back, and the lungs on each side. Mediastinal tumor resection removes tumors in this area of the chest cavity.
|Regions of the Lung
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for ProcedureCancerous tumors must be removed to prevent local tissue damage and the spread of cancer. Without removal or treatment, the cancer could spread to other areas of the body. The cancer could also start to compress organs in the chest, such as the heart, lungs, esophagus, or spinal cord. People who have this surgery often have a better prognosis than those who receive either radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
Possible ComplicationsProblems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Damage to the areas surrounding the tumor, including the heart, lungs, and spinal cord
- Fluid collecting between the lung tissue lining and the wall of the chest cavity
- Lung collapse
- Drainage, infection, or bleeding
What to Expect
Prior to ProcedureBefore the surgery, your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Take images of structures inside your body using x-ray , MRI scan , CT scan , or PET scan
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home.
AnesthesiaGeneral anesthesia—you will be asleep during the procedure
Description of the ProcedureYou will have a breathing tube and be given an IV. The IV will be used to give you medications and fluids during the surgery.To remove the tumor, the doctor will make one large, central incision in the chest, an incision between the ribs, or several small incisions. If several small incisions are made, a camera will be inserted into one incision. The camera will allow the doctor to view the area via monitor. Through the other incisions, surgical tools will be inserted.Tubes may be inserted into your chest. These tubes will help to drain fluid and air from the chest cavity. The incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
Immediately After ProcedureThe breathing tube will be removed. You will be monitored closely for any complications from the procedure.
How Long Will It Take?About 1-4 hours depending on the type of surgery
How Much Will It Hurt?Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital StayThis surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 4 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure CareAt the HospitalAfter your recover from surgery, you may need chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. You will be given a clear liquid diet. You will be instructed to practice deep breathing and coughing to help your lungs recover.Any chest tubes will be removed before you go home.When you are home:
- Avoid lifting objects heavier than 5 pounds.
- Do not to drive for 4-6 weeks.
- Increase your activity as you are able. This will help you recover.
- Follow instructions about wound care to avoid infection.
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision

EFF in the News
David Greene, civil liberties director and senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, thinks Twitter could make a case for immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which says that networks and service providers aren't responsible for the content users post. Greene also says there's a constitutional issue. "Those who publish information to the public at large are not generally held responsible for what the people who get that information do with it," he tells Newsweek.
If the lawsuit is successful, "there will be less of an incentive to provide an unmoderated free platform that's available to all people," Greene says. "And that means less speech."
David Greene, an attorney for Respublika with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said in an interview that he believed this to be the first case in which a foreign government used the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act against its citizens.
At the World Forum for Democracy 2015, we interviewed the Electronic Frontier Foundation activist about her work, hopes for inspiring legislative change, and building on the stubborn success of Max Schrems.
The potential for abuse still worries privacy advocates, who fear the cameras could easily be converted into a surveillance tool.
"These cameras would be trained on traffic, potentially picking up license plate data, which would allow for location tracking from law enforcement and others," said Rebecca Jeschke, a digital rights analyst and media relations director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The White House endorsed the bill even before it passed the Senate, so it was no surprise that the president signed the must-pass federal budget bill to which the House of Representatives added CISA in December. And while the White House previously identified the need for more robust privacy protection, the bill passed with no improvements to CISA's privacy provisions. "One of the main things we were searching for was for companies to scrub personal data, and that did not make it into the bill," says Mark Jaycox, a legislative analyst at Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is defending civil liberties in the digital world.
"This is [a] terrible policy that is entirely infeasible from a technical perspective," said Andrew Crocker, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties group. "There is no way to ensure that phones can be decrypted by the police and not the 'bad guys.' It's not about privacy but security — the security of innocent people's devices against hackers, thieves and others."
"So one undereported aspect to the Safe Harbor decision is that much of it hangs off the judgement by the ECJ that it's the United States' existing surveillance laws that are the problem, not just the companies' compliance with EU privacy law," says Danny O'Brien, international director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Similarly, Andrew Crocker, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Ars that the bill had "glaring problems" and that it was "entirely infeasible from a technical perspective."
"There is no way to ensure that phones can be decrypted by the police and not the 'bad guys,'" he e-mailed Ars. "Just as in New York, this California lawmaker misses the point that it's not about privacy but security—the security of innocent people's devices against hackers, thieves and others. It could well be unconstitutional under the First Amendment as well."
"In the last 12 months in particular, the frequency with which we have gotten inquiries has skyrocketed," said Nate Cardozo, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a 25-year-old San Francisco nonprofit advocating for technology users' privacy rights. EFF started an investigation into how cloud providers of educational software handle students' data. They began with Google because it represents more than half the cloud software installations in schools around the country, Cardozo said.
The suggestion yielded backlash quickly. Nate Cardozo, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, called the idea "plainly unconstitutional."

Wiregrass commemorates 9-11
September 14, 2011
By Erin Murray, Army Flier Staff Writer
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (September 15, 2011) -- Last week, events across the Wiregrass reflected upon the 10 years since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Local commemorations included a presentation on heroes at Fort Rucker Primary School, a patriotic poker run in Daleville and ceremonies with Fort Rucker commanders on post in Enterprise and in Dothan.
Students at Fort Rucker Primary School participated in a program coordinated by the school's music and media teachers Friday. "Celebrating Heroes" was a weeklong FRPS event that focused on heroes in many forms, said Sylvia Thornton, music teacher at FRPS.
"Our focus has been about recognizing those around us who help us. We are excited over this little celebration and the importance of recognizing those who are around us every day and the things they do," said Thornton.
Students learned about the many types of heroes, including Soldiers, parents and even animals. The week of lessons in patriotism and heroism culminated in a program of singing, and presentations by Fort Rucker military police and fire department.
Saturday, the 1st Bn., 223rd Avn. Rgt. and the Daleville Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual 9-11 Memorial Poker Run. At the event, more than 150 motorcyclists drove from Daleville to Troy and back, to honor the victims of the attacks and fallen servicemembers.
Greg Akers, a participant and coordinator of the event, explained why a bike rally was significant to the remembrance events.
"It's a fun event, so it concentrates less on the negativity. Bikers are the most patriotic people around," said Akers.
Sgt. Maj. Micheal Sutterfield, 1st Bn., 223rd Avn. Rgt, added that the poker run was to support the Daleville community by doing something that is not only fun, but has a purpose.
"It's important to enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted," said Sutterfield.
Sunday morning, guests gathered at Howze field for a brief time of prayer and remembrance with Maj. Gen. Anthony G. Crutchfield, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker commanding general.
In his invocation, Chaplain (Col.) Dennis Newton was both solemn and hopeful with his prayers.
"It has been a difficult decade. Now, as we reflect, may we honor the acts of courage that some made in order to finish this mission. We shed our tears in a common bond of grief for those we have loved and lost from our ranks," said Newton.
According to Crutchfield, his remarks were some of the most serious in his year as commanding general. With his words, Crutchfield hoped not only to honor those lost, but urge Soldiers, Family members and civilians to continue to persevere.
"It's almost too beautiful of a day to be memorializing something so sad. We gather to honor nearly 3,000 who lost their lives on that fateful day, September 11, 2001. Also, we honor the men and women in uniform who answered our nation's call and have made the ultimate sacrifice this past decade. That day changed us as a nation," said Crutchfield.
The commanding general also recognized the many foreign guests at the ceremony, thanking them for their loyalty and service.
"Our international partners -- the people who stand side by side with us, bleed and die with us, for what happened to our country 10 years ago today. They're true friends," he said.
Though many have felt the weight of 10 years of deployments, Crutchfield was optimistic that the Army and the nation will remain strong.
"How much can we endure? For me, for us, for our generation, the answer is for as long as it takes. Just as earlier generations of Americans overcame great tests of turmoil, the 9-11 generation has risen to the challenge [with the] support of our Families, communities, and foreign partners. The pride of our nation is what fuels us," said Crutchfield.
Also on Sunday, Col. James A. Muskopf, Fort Rucker garrison commander, served as guest speaker at a ceremony in Dothan, where he spoke about loss, the importance of heroes and America's resolve in the face of adversity.
"How we remember that day is a mark of our resilient American spirit," Muskopf told the hundreds in attendance. "Our enemy hoped that day would replace freedom with fear, but it didn't -- it did the opposite. It bolstered our resolve and became a defining moment in what would become the next great generation."
Muskopf echoed Crutchfield's statements when reflecting on the generation who saw the 9-11 attacks and chose to give their lives to preserve the nation.
"They are heroes and very much a part of the 9-11 generation who, knowing the risk, they choose to put on their uniform every morning and risk their safety for us," he added. "Today we feel proud as a nation -- we didn't sit back and feel sorry for ourselves. We took action, we stood together then, and we still do today, and this is why we will never be defeated."
