Josephine Ymana PT, DPT
Dr. Josephine Ymana received her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. She practiced in the area of outpatient neurologic rehabilitation for over 10 years in Houston before joining the elite manual therapists at Dynamic Physical Therapy. Coming to Illinois several months ago to complete a FMT™ Orthopedic Residency Program, Josephine jumped at the opportunity to work with Dynamic. "Following years of routinely assessing and treating patients with nervous system disorders using a neuro-biased system of treatment, I realized that most—if not all—of my patients also had existing "orthopedic" issues in their bodies that needed to be sufficiently addressed so that they could achieve a state of efficiency in their movement or function. Being a part of the Dynamic Physical Therapy team allows me to achieve the excellence in learning that I was aiming for, and it also ensures that I can provide some meaningful and enduring changes in my patient's personal goals."
Josephine has extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of patients with catastrophic injuries, as well as those with complex neurological diagnoses requiring intervention for spasticity-related issues. In 2008, she became a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) through the Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists (ACBIS), and in 2010, Josephine completed a 3-month Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) residency program at Kaiser Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Vallejo, California. Josephine is also trained in the Bobath approach to the treatment of adult hemiplegia, having received her certification in Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT) in 2003. A true professional in the field of PT, Dynamic is excited to have Josephine join the residency program to achieve her Certification in Functional Manual Therapy™.

Ray Degli, PT, DPT, CFMT, F.I.S.T. Cert

Ray received his doctorate in Physical Therapy from New York's highly acclaimed DYC Institute and is currently a studying for is his Certification as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Ray's strong interest and background in manual therapy led him to pursue and complete Dynamic's APTA Certified Residency Program in Functional Manual Therapy™ (FMT™). Ray recently earned his CFMT™ where he graduated with honors from the Institute of Physical Art. Ray is one of Dynamic's top manual therapists and his ability to get results where many others have failed has made Ray a favorite among Chicago's elite athletic community.
His prior experiences in athletics and spinal issues led Ray to train with one of world's top Bike Fit experts, Curtis Cramblett of Revolutions in Fitness. Wanting to further extend his fitting skills to include Tri-bikes, Ray became accredited by the Fit Institute Slowtwitch (F.I.S.T), through Dan Empfield in Ontario, CA. Ray is now partnering with 360BodyGears and Vision Quest Coaching offering unique Bike Fits and Tri-Fits to an elite group of cyclists. Whether you are a professional cyclist, bike to work enthusiast, or just enjoy the weekend journey through the Prairie Path, Ray offers an extensive evaluation of your health and fitness history, athletic goals, flexibility, strength, core stability, and cycling performance, including pedal stroke and power output analysis.
As a manual therapist and fitter, Ray has the PT background to understand muscle mechanics and is able to merge that with the mechanics of an efficient bike fit. He can assess if there are weaknesses in rider's hip or core and use manual therapy to get the right muscles firing. He can then alter the bike fit to put the client in a more efficient position and eliminate the pain. After a fitting with Ray, triathletes and cyclists can spend hours in the saddle without pain and generate more power with less effort because the body and the bike then work together as a team.
Ray's dedication to providing absolutely the best manual therapy techniques extends to all the patients he treats as well as his enthusiasm of outdoor life. His passion for hiking, hockey, sailing, and golfing gives him the appreciation and unique understanding of Physical Therapy in daily life. Ray is currently preparing for his certification as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist.

April Oury, PT MS, IOC, CFMT, FAAOMPT
April graduated from Boston University's Sargent College of Allied Health Professions in 1997 and moved back to the Chicago land area starting her career in acute care and inpatient rehab. She then took the challenge to work with orthopedic cases at a national rehabilitation company and became the Site Coordinator at her facility. A few years later after working for a physician group, she decided to open Dynamic Physical Therapy in 2004. This allowed her to focus and achieve the highest standards of excellent patient results through one-on-one care.
Throughout her career, Ms. Oury has sought to increase her manual therapy skills: she obtained her Integrated Orthopedic Certification in 2000 through the University of St. Augustine and the Institute of Physical Art. In 2003, she went on to complete her Functional Manual Therapy™ certification from the Institute of Physical Art. Then in 2009, after a year in Steamboat Springs, CO, she obtained her fellow status in the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (FAAOMPT).
Ms. Oury's passion is to improve movement patterns through unorthodox posture retraining and mechanical alignment correction of the joint, soft tissue, nerve, and organs. Her vision is to continue training therapists in comprehensive manual therapy techniques so that their patients can experience results they never thought possible. "I get really excited when a patient who has been suffering for 30 years makes physical changes and keeps them. His or her personality changes, they achieve motion they didn't think was possible, and they feel better about themselves." These scenarios "drive me to further my own skills and then train the PT's that work for Dynamic Physical Therapy."
Personally, she has completed 4 Olympic distance triathlons, is a newfound "Cross Fit geek", loves her Vibram 5 toe shoes, and frequently travels to Colorado to indulge in mountain biking and skiing.

I recently came across an article and website about an EcoBio-Rock/Pebbles that are used to help clean the aquarium water and also put the right bacteria in the tank for healthy levels in the water.
Aquarium Care with EcoBio-Block Makes Cloudy Water Clear and Healthy
There is the link to the website.
I was wondering if this is a good product? I was actually thinking about getting the pebbles or the rock because it does sound like a good product. I just want to know if anyone has used this or heard about them and if they actually work before I purchase anything.
This is another non-ceramic bio-media product not unlike Seachems' Matrix and De*Nitrate that in a sense emulates live rock in SW as it has macro and micro pores to promote the development of beneficial bacteria colonies.
Although it looks like it would be as good as other bio-medias, I can't speak to it's effectiveness as I haven't used it.
I haven't used anything like this before, but for the prices, it seems like an unnecessary expense. I've used all forms of substrate from soil and sand to gravel and even marbles (Not my proudest moment).
There are cheaper ways to jump start your cycle for the same benefits the rocks claim to give you such as Seachem's Stability to seed the tank.
From what I have read on that website, I would not use this product. The claims they make are not realistic.
And if you dig a bit further, they are suggesting this product for aquarists who are too laxy to do normal maintenance like water changes, and thus they suggest not doing them. Not a good idea. There is much more to aquarium bacteria that the nitrification.
It may work in a pond outdoors, but this is not advisable in an indoor aquarium.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hello, can anyone help us with the following?
We have a server-installation of PDF-Creator running with three different printers configured with there own autosave-settings.
One of the departments requested the possibility to have the PDF's sepperated by user.
Searching through the settings we came across the <username> tag.
Our innitial version (1.00) was unable to use the username tag as a folder so we searched out the version that could.
The serverinstallation has since been updated to v1.1.0 to be able to create username-folders, but that doesn't work to our satisfaction.
Using the username tag in the filename, the correct user is added, but when we use the tag as a foldername it keeps returning administrator as the user.
Is this a configuration error or a software error?
How can we resolve the problem?
We don't want to build a PDF-printer per user as we would get 10+ PDF-printers hogging the server.
Thank U in advance for your reply...
Tried out some other options.
- The REDMOND-tags don't work (so why add them)
- Found that the working tags are giving strange results...
using the tag as a filename results in the remote user being mentioned
using the tag as a foldername results in the local server user being mentioned
- Tried v1.2.0 in a test environment and found the same results.
Please fix this in the next version.
Hi InferisDCB,
we are using PDFCreator in server mode and it works fine. PDFCreator is started with domain-admin rights and we are using the redmon tag <REDMON_USER>.
Can you describe the strange results a little bit more detailed?
Best regards,
Thank You for your reply,
We have a Windows 2003 serverinstallation (v1.1.0) managed by the domain administrator logged in on the physical server.
Not using RDP how we normally manage the server; as this stops the manager from working when we log of.
- When we use the <redmond_user> tag, we get no result back
- When we use the <username> tag as a filename, the accountname of the enduser is added as the username. In my case "danny.bertisen".
- When we use the <username> tag as a foldername, the accountname of the serveruser is added. In the current serverinstallation this is "administrator". This was backed up by a Windows XP test-installation.
On a testprinter on the mentioned Server (running PDFCreator v1.1.0) and in a test installation on WinXP (using PDFCreator v1.2.0) we get the same results.
Waiting for your reply,
Danny Bertisen
Hi InferisDCB,
We are now also using the version 1.1.0 with server installation and also it works fine.
And I just registered for posting for you.
We just enabled the "Auto-save" and user the directory "F:\PDF\<REDMON_USER>" for auto-save, and once the users print with the PDFCreator, they can find the pdf file they print in the folders with their name under the path: F:\PDF.
If it still not work, how about reinstalling it?
Hope you can solve it.
Best regards,
Thank U Shakodo, you just hinted at something I didn't test yet.
We set the serverisntallation to autosave to a networkdestination. (example: \\server-01\PDF_files\)
I now made a networkdrive and added the savepath as a local directory (example: Y:\PDF_files\); this resolved the problem. Now the Redmond_user tag works like a charm.
Thank You all for your help.
Greets, Danny
Auto-Save value in there
thanks, this worked for us using v1.1.0 and using the redmon tags as you mentioned. ;-)

Heaven's High Priestess
A mother recounts how she received angelic help for her baby son from an unlikely source--a Wiccan high priestess.
Editor's Note: Beliefnet featured a Doreen Virtue book contest with the question, 'How has an angel or archangel helped you?' We share one of the amazing stories below.
Before I share my angelic encounter, I must tell you that I was an atheist at the time of this event. I had grown up in the church, but I left at a young age. After what happened with my toddler, however, I started questioning my atheism. I no longer deny that God exists, a loving father who watches over us all.
My now 16-year-old son was just a baby, not yet 1-year-old, when he developed night terrors. Each night without fail, he would sit in his crib, stare off into space, and scream for hours without end. He was not awake nor was he asleep. My child was trapped in some sort of limbo. I could not waken him, I could not comfort him. I could only stand by helplessly and watch.
This went on for more than a year. His pediatrician could offer no help, stating only that my son would eventually outgrow this disorder. This was echoed by all the doctors who looked at him.
One Saturday morning, I was helping my mother set up for a yard sale, paying little attention to the middle-aged, heavy-set woman browsing our wares. I must have looked exhausted because my mother asked if we'd had another bad night. I told her that we had, and that is when the woman approached. She apologized for eavesdropping, and introduced herself as a Wiccan high priestess. She then asked if she could pray for my son.
I must point out that, at that time, I would also have balked at a Christian offering me the same type of help. I had left the church for a reason, and I was still hurting. However, because I desperately wanted help for my son, I accepted this woman's offer of prayer. After giving her my son's first name--Michael--she turned and walked away.

Teacher training can pay big dividends, whether a person pursues a
career at a school or works in some other area altogether. Proof is Doug
Trice. The local Special Olympics coach who has been named assistant
coach for the Team USA track and field squad at the 2011 Special
Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece, trained to be a teacher
at Oregon College of Education (now Western Oregon University) in
Monmouth. After graduating in 1974, however, he landed a job with Union
Pacific Railroad, where he has worked ever since.
A co-director along with Pam Thompson of Special Olympics Union County, Trice has been a volunteer with the program almost 15 years. The payoff? Seeing the personal growth his athletes make. He said everyone learns in a different way, some verbal, some visual, and his approach to successful coaching is to be patient and flexible.
The bigger point is, whether a person lands a teaching job or not, teacher training can pay rich dividends in stocking the area with volunteer coaches, 4-H leaders, community education teachers and so much more.
Congratulations to Trice for the honor of helping coach the Team USA track and field squad in Athens. And thanks to him and all the other "teachers" out there who may not be seen in school classrooms but are nonetheless making a big difference in the community.
'Hold the fries'
The USDA has not always been on the cutting edge of nutrition. Its food pyramid, for example, has been lambasted as way behind the times in trying to take a dent out of the national obesity epidemic.
Now, however, there may be hope. Proposed new standards for school lunches would have school kids eating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables and holding the french fries. Before we get up in arms about Big Brother telling us what to do, let's examine those arms. A little wiggly, right? Perhaps in need of a tuneup. Face it, many of us treat our cars better than we do our bodies.
Childhood obesity is a big problem. It has tripled in this country over the past 30 years. One in five children is overweight and on the path to diabetes, heart disease and soaring medical costs. Since many kids consume as much as half their daily calories at school, and schools are supposed to be educational institutions, what better place for school children to learn how to eat right for slim and trim bodies and peak-functioning minds?
Sure, many schools have already done much to make lunches more nutritious. But the fight against obesity is just beginning. Schools should get in the forefront of this fight to help kids build good physical activity and nutrition habits that can stick with them for a lifetime.

Not that I am aware-probably taste horrible anyway-but like all garden plants-education is the key-children need to learn that you don't/cant eat everything
If you start penstemon seeds off now or next week, they will flower this year. I did loads last year and they were still flowering in the winter. The green is still there now.
In the US, where penstemons originate, deer forage on them and, as far as I have been able to discover, they are not listed as poisonous in the various indexes of poisonous plants. As an ex-teacher myself, I fully understand Vonmarr's caution. Life could be very unpleasant for any school personnel who could be held to have caused the poisoning of a child, however, many warnings were given to that child.

Wednesday, March 6, 2014
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus says South Carolina's "stand your ground" law is wrong and should be repealed.
Democratic Rep. Harold Mitchell of Spartanburg said Thursday the government should not tell people to confront force with force, rather than just walk away. His bill would delete from state law residents' right to use deadly force to defend themselves wherever they are, as long as they are there legally.
Sixteen other caucus members have signed on to the bill he introduced last week. They say repealing the law enacted in 2006 would make citizens safer.
Those disagreeing include fellow caucus member and House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, an attorney who has argued that defense.
Rutherford says people instinctively believe they can defend themselves, and the law guarantees that.

We are crazy for sushi in my family.
Usually, my husband and I try to sneak off by ourselves because a sushi dinner tends to be pretty pricey and I just can't imagine what my bill would be if we brought all six of our kids with us. Also, knowing the way my kids eat, we'd probably shut the restaurant down so basically I'm doing the restaurant a favor.
It's become our tradition to save sushi for a special occasion like their birthday. Whenever it's their special day, we take each one out for sushi and they love it because they know they'll get to have Mom and Dad all to themselves, as well as some delicious sushi.
One day, while my husband and I were enjoying a few rolls at the sushi bar on our date night, he got this itch. As he watched the sushi chefs intently, he turned to me (I was busy stuffing my face the entire time) and said,"I can make these!"
I had a hard time believing he could recreate such yummy rolls at home but knowing my husband, I knew he'd try anything for us to the moon and back.
Turns out, making sushi at home is not hard at all! Well, I say this as a spectator only. I've only watched him make us sushi and then I've stuffed my face with it (again–I sense a trend).
My kids love it and thankfully, it's inexpensive. We do a basic California roll, which consists of imitation crab slices, cucumbers, carrots, avocado, sushi rice, sesame seeds and nori. We've also done wraps with a variety of veggies and it's super delish. They eat, eat and eat!
I like this video for easy homemade sushi because it's really simple to understand. I love the idea of using different kind of grains and changing up the veggies you use. Mmmmm.
Does your family enjoy sushi? Have you ever tried to make it at home?

By Garland Eger
Basic environmental science shows us that for any ecosystem to be healthy, certain animal and other living organism populations must be at certain levels. Animals fill certain "niches" which keep the ecosystem going. Some perfect examples are bees carrying the pollen of plants and squirrels burying the nuts of certain trees. When these processes are negatively affected by human expansion and industrialization, the entire ecosystem feels the impact. Also, certain animals survive excessively well in other environments, which causes overpopulation, thus throwing the ecosystem out of whack. Such examples include grey squirrels in north America, rabbits in Australia, and Japanese bamboo in north America.
These unconscious and ignorant blunders by mankind can certainly have some scary impact on the future. Let's look at the honeybee for example. Honeybees pollinate plants and create honey, which is also a food source for other animals such as bears. Honeybee populations are decreasing at an alarming rate, due to the introduction of the red mite, a parasite which can wipe out an entire honeybee hive in several weeks. If honeybees are absent from our future, the pollination of plants will certainly be less, which will lead to enormous food shortages. These types of calamities have already happened in history and caused mass havoc. One example of such phenomenon is the black death. The black death also known as bubonic plague was responsible for the deaths of more than one third of Europe. Bubonic plague was caused by a bacteria in the belly of the rat flea and began somewhere in the Gobi desert. Because people had rats on ships and sailed from one continent to another the plague spread as well.
The conclusion to this article is that people must be careful about what they do to animals and plants as well as where they bring them due to the nature of the effects. People must also work to restore environments and ecosystem to their original states to prevent mass calamity. However, we do not have to kill any animals in the process.

Its been said his looks don't sell but I tell you what, his driving does. I've said it from the year Hamilton won the championship that RK should have been standing in the champions glory. Renault are nowhere near what they were when Alonso won with them and I don't have the right to say he is a good as Alonso, but I tell you what put him in a RB, McClaren or Ferrari and his name would be as talked about as any of there drivers. His ability to finish so many races in the points this year is an attribution to his ability. Staying at Renault was always going to be his decision, because he knows they can only improve. If he starts winning races next year he is guaranteed bigger and better contracts in 2012. Robert wy jestescie mistrze.

The political establishment of Madera is without one of its cornerstones, after the death of longtime Democratic activist Betty Pia.
The 49-year Maderan died Monday of complications of pneumonia. She was 95.
Born Ollie Bethina Kaiser on May 29, 1917, in Rome, Ga., she began assisting her midwife mother, Nancy, at the tender age of 7. She learned the intricacies of childbirth, such as sterilizing instruments in boiling water, and often stood on a small stool to catch babies as her mother soothed women during the long hours involved in home births.
Betty eventually became a registered nurse...

The Dunk, Through and Through
A poet who knows nothing about sports writes a poem about the slam dunk.
Do I have any books about sports whatsoever? The closest I have is John Jeremiah Sullivan, who is a sportswriter's son. He offers the quote: "Nature does not make leaps."— Leibniz. I beg to disagree, Leibniz!
Oooo look it's Nature, recently drafted by the No. 1 team The Sports, racing down the court like a force of you-know-what, going in for the biggest leap of all, and what? What's it doing? Dunking a human being perfectly into its own skin? YES IT IS!
A crowd materializes out of thin air and goes wild.
Tragically, the women of my family are saddled with unfortunate balance problems due to having sideways baby toes. Sometimes I fall down for no reason while I'm just standing there, inevitably uttering a sort of WHOOPS or UH-OH that implies that something happened to make me fall down but nothing ever did. A tragedy for sports, but a Triumph for Literature.
Let's go watch dunk bloopers for like an hour! It is just as important to study the spectacular failures as it is to study the spectacular successes. Sobering thought that is also very poetic: Has a dunk blooper ever ended with someone's death?
What is the state I enter into? A state like I've shot a hundred free throws, and I've reached the point where I'm making all of them, and the body's memory of how to do something has wholly taken over?
Except this is the brain's memory of how to do it, and my body is just a super-bad feeling in my thigh where I've kept my legs crossed for like four hours now, which certainly cannot be healthy.
The only proper word for it is "reverie," and that is hardly a word to be taken seriously. Reveries are something Byron had. Think how much Byron would have loved the dunk, as a kind of sped-up sunset, as a metaphor for what he did to ladies!
Or like Donne wouldn't have written a dunk poem. He would totally have written a death sonnet about the dunk and called it, "The Sickest Dunk Can Never Die." Shakespeare I guess would have dunked from half-court, taking steps three at a time in the air, and everyone else would have gotten pissed and gone home.
Emily Dickinson is Muggsy Bogues?
Who is the Harlem Globetrotters of literature? Whoever I decide it is, that is gonna be the WORST burn.
(Hahaha it's totally Jonathan Safran Foer, isn't it.)
How long has it been now, days or weeks, and I am still happy to stay inside the poem, though I get a little feeling like it wants me out. Lots of time on the clock. The clock is running out. When the period of work is over I feel it, like one of those gentle doors that, closing, rests at the last moment on a cushion of air.
When that door closes it is closed, and I have to find another way in tomorrow. I am playing a game, I am looking for an opening.

The Loomis Grammar Falcons fared well in the event as they posted a 3-1 record and finished with the third-place team trophy. Loomis opened the tournament with a 42-37 win over Union Hill of Grass Valley and then defeated Foresthill 39-34 in overtime behind Kyle Yamada's 20 points. The Falcons then ran into a tough Weimar Hills team in the semi-finals and after a close first half ended up falling 50-31. Both Yamada and Daniel Grimes scored 10 points each for Loomis. In an exciting third-place game, Loomis outlasted Konocti of Clear Lake, 40-39, in another overtime game. Yamada's 11 points and nine from Trey Udoffia led the victory.

WASHINGTON — Democrats carrying significant campaign debt after winning a string of House and Senate races are grumbling that President-elect Barack Obama is sitting on a pile of cash while Democratic leaders are broke.
Obama's organization retains about $30 million after his successful presidential bid, but it's unclear how the Democratic president-in-waiting might use the money.
Members of his party are doing their best to appeal for the funds without appearing greedy, ungrateful or hostile to their new leader.
"If I was a top adviser to the president-elect, I wouldn't necessarily be advocating saving those dollars," said Raymond Buckley, chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party. "It was critically important that we not repeat what happened in '93, '94."
In those years, President Bill Clinton held the purse strings and Democrats lost 54 U.S. House seats and eight senators during midterm elections.
"We need the resources to build the national grassroots network for the Obama agenda," Buckley said. "We need to make sure the president is successful and that the administration fulfills his promises."
The Democratic National Committee is carrying about $5 million in debt, with almost $12 million cash on hand. DNC officials say they expect to have the debt paid by the end of the year. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee carries about $19 million in debt and less than $3 million on hand.
Obama aides are aware of the stigma and don't want to appear inelegant or selfish. They are weighing whether to keep the money to build a massive grassroots program to support his agenda, or to cycle that money to the party apparatus. Both ideas have advocates, but it's unclear to those involved which way Obama will go.
"We aren't in a position to announce what the next steps for our organization are today, but are continuing a dialogue with our supporters about their vision for how we move forward," said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt.

We've just added a new Travelfish Guide to the store — the third edition of our top-selling Travelfish Guide to Ko Phi Phi in southern Thailand.
The guide is easily the most comprehensive guide to Ko Phi Phi available and as it was researched on the ground in October 2009, the information doesn't get any fresher than this!
We've increased the font size a bit to make the guide a bit easier on the old eyeballs, so it's a good deal longer than the previous editions. There are also four maps, detailed reviews on 50 (yes fifty) places to stay across the island. In our accommodation reviews we looked at all budgets — from 150 baht dorms to 15,000 baht private pool villas — and everything in between. There's also information on where to eat and drink, a diving guide and tips on how to do the island on the cheap.
We're also, for the first time ever, offering a couple of pages as a free download so that you can check for yourself and decide if it really is worth the US$4.95 we're asking.
Of course there is the Travelfish 7-day money-back guarantee — no questions asked.
Sounds interesting? You can buy the guide online here — it is available for download immediately after purchase.

Hightower inside
Hightower inside
posted at 6/1/2012 9:37 AM EDTI know it's early, but OTA reports indicate that Hightower is getting his snaps at ILB behind Spikes and Fletcher. I would have thought BB would have Tested him more outside to start getting a feel for OLB early on. The LB position is set up nicely this year, with lots of camp competition similar to the WR position. I for one am very excited about seeing how the LB battle plays out. Hightower is versatile, and we run many different types of schemes. Where is his spot in our LB corps in the context of our other LB's? For me, the ideal situation assuming the rooks stepped up, would be to have Hightower and Mayo inside, with Jones and Nink/baquette/ francis/, etc outside. Or Hightower as solb, mayo wolb, spikes or fletcher inside in a 4-3. Lots of camp still to come.how do you guys think it will shake out given what BB has Hightower doing today and anticipating how he may use him in the future!

Thanksgiving ended in an arrest for one Springs man after police say he threatened his mother and cousin with a shotgun.
The situation began just after 1:30 p.m. when the suspect's mother called to report that her son was carrying around a gun and making threats. She didn't want to leave the home because she feared the safety of her 13-year-old granddaughter, who was bedridden.
Police officers surrounded the home on Madison Street, near Union and Constitution, as they tried to get the suspect to surrender. Neighbors told 11 News they were stunned to see so much law enforcement.
"All of a sudden I saw these cop cars...they had the big shields and they were, like, rushing the house," Ina Meyer said. She told 11 News she was terrified for her children's safety because she worried there could be a shooting.
Police were eventually able to convince the suspect to come to the door, and arrested him without incident.
The suspect has been identified as Jeffrey Mascarenas. He faces several charges, including menacing and possessing an illegal weapon.

'Altered Destinies'--How to Improve Opportunities for Disadvantaged Children
New York--In Altered Destinies: Making Life Better for School Children in Need, Gene I. Maeroff, the director of the Hechinger Institute on Education and the Media at Teachers College, Columbia University focuses on the kind of support structures needed to equalize the tremendous imbalance between the education received by affluent and disadvantaged schoolchildren. He offers a four-part plan for improving the lives of the most at-risk children in the U.S. school system.
What is Needed is a Support Structure--Social Capital
"Of all the riches denied to disadvantaged children, perhaps the most important have to do with the absence of a network of support that would allow them to thrive in school. The lack of this network and of the norms and values that underpin it place their education at risk from the day they walk into classrooms across the United States," says Maeroff, former national education correspondent for The New York Times.
He urges schools to contribute in helping the "neediest students attain outcomes that routinely accrue to advantaged children." But, this can only happen, he adds, if schools and other agencies "strive to provide the kind of support structure--social capital--that builds the networks and norms and engenders the trust that promote economic success."
Maeroff's fundamental focus in Altered Destinies, published by St. Martin's Press, is on students, not schools. He says he decided early in his research that "what was most important was not the delivery system itself but what it achieved for the children, especially children who economic and social needs place at a disadvantage."
The author says that the "new struggle on behalf of school children in need "distinguishes itself from the federal government's original foray into the schools." What is different in most of the programs described in Altered Destinies is "their preoccupation with as much of the student's whole being as possible--social, emotional, physical, and psychological as well as intellectual--and the extension of this concern through secondary school."
Maeroff identifies promising ventures as a "format by which schools can start to make a difference in the lives of students whose education has been victimized by poverty." The author says that the national dimensions of the struggle to build social capital can be seen, for example, in a New York City public school housed in a former church in Brooklyn's Williamsburg section, in a public school in a strip mall in St. Paul, Minnesota, and on the campus of the University of Southern California, where public school students from south-central Los Angeles spend part of their day.
Enhancement Programs Share Four Similar Objectives
All the programs share similar objectives: They seek to foster a sense of connectedness, a sense of well-being, a sense of academic initiative, and a sense of knowing.
A Sense of Connectedness
According to Maeroff, a sense of connectedness equips young children with the links that help them succeed. On one level, connectedness means gaining a feeling of belonging so that students regard themselves as part of the academic enterprise. On another level, it means developing ties they can use to thread their way around obstacles. The sense of connectedness is strengthened by bonds that the school establishes with home, neighborhood, and community.
Maeroff points to a principal of an alternative high school in St. Paul, Minnesota, Mary Boyd, who saw part of her role as building connections that would make students want to attend the school. He also recognizes El Puente Academy for Peace and Justice in Brooklyn, New York, where the school director meets with its students and staff members prepare personal learning plans for each student.
A Sense of Well-Being
The sense of well-being that America's advantaged children take for granted is missing from the lives of many less-advantaged youngsters. Maeroff says that "one way to a school can affect children's well-being is to envelop them in its protecting arms." This occurs at the Rogers Elementary School, just east of downtown Stamford Connecticut, where ROSCCO (Rogers School Community Center) writes grants, receives funds, and operates a panoply of extra programs that have made the school so attractive that it has helped stabilize the neighborhood.
Similarly at the Fienberg-Fisher School in Miami Beach's South Beach section, a full array of services is provided to students as a result of links with such agencies as Jewish Family Services, the Children's Psychiatric Center, Barry University, Florida International University, Legal Services of Greater Miami, and Stanley Myers Health Center.
The same can be said of the Children's Aid Society (CAS), which helped bring about a transformation at Intermediate School 218 in Manhattan's drug-infested Washington Heights. The influence of CAS can be seen when entering the building. Its office is adjacent to the school's main office, the health clinic is nearby, and the family resource room it established is across the hall.
A Sense of Academic Initiative
In neighborhoods in which scholastic achievement seems most irrelevant to the rest of life, students receive little support for putting out effort in the classroom. Maeroff says that enhancement programs that combat the notion that scholastic achievement is irrelevant build on self-discipline and a work ethic. He mentions the Neighborhood Academic Initiative in Los Angeles as a program the extent to which "a school culture friendly to achievements can determine how much students will push themselves on behalf of academic success."
At the summer REACH program in Cleveland for young black males, the students learn self-discipline in the form of good study habits. Mentoring figures prominently in REACH. Instructors, college students and high school students contribute in distinctly different ways to "raise aspirations."
A Sense of Knowing
Maeroff says that "Every child needs a sturdy foundation upon which to construct further intellectual attainment." Affluent parents use their resources to start the process when infants are still in cribs and playpens. Most enhancement programs, according to Maeroff, attempt to achieve parity with what more advantaged children receive by using extended school days, longer school weeks, and the inclusion of summers in the educational programs.
Efforts to bolster the sense of knowing, Maeroff adds, extend to social knowledge. "It is easy to overlook the provinciality and isolation of children living in the center of a major city. Poverty and crime restrict their mobility. As an example, Maeroff speaks of students at the Canton Middle School, who had never seen Washington, DC, less than an hour away from inner-city Highlandtown neighborhood in southeast Baltimore. "So, when a busload of students from Canton rode to the Friends School on the leafy northern outskirts of Baltimore, the Canton youngsters were awed by what they saw."
Social Capital is Fundamental to the Goal of Preparing Children for Productive Lives
Maeroff says that social capital--the whole system of networks, values, norms, and trust--"may count for as much as book learning and have as much to do with finding a place in the mainstream." He adds that, "it is all but impossible to separate the possession of social capital from the inclination and the ability to meet standards. What this means is that if schools in the United States hope to prepare all children for productive, fulfilled lives, then the provision of social capital may be fundamental to the goal."

Pope urges greater openings in vast Cuban Mass
Thursday, March 29, 2012
HAVANA (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI demanded more freedom for the Catholic Church in communist-run Cuba and preached against "fanaticism" in an unusually political sermon before hundreds of thousands at Revolution Plaza, with President Raul Castro in the front row.
Later, the president's brother, revolutionary leader Fidel, grilled the pontiff on changes in church liturgy and his role as spiritual leader of the world's Catholics, a Vatican spokesman said.
Benedict's homily was a not-so-subtle jab at the island's leadership before a vast crowd of Cubans, both in the sprawling plaza and watching on television. But he also clearly urged an end to Cuba's isolation, a reference to the 50-year U.S. economic embargo and the inability of 11 American presidents and brothers Fidel and Raul Castro to forge peace.
"Cuba and the world need change, but this will occur only if each one is in a position to seek the truth and chooses the way of love, sowing reconciliation and fraternity," Benedict said. The remark built upon the famed call of his predecessor, John Paul II, who said in his groundbreaking 1998 visit that Cuba should "open itself up to the world, and may the world open itself up to Cuba."
With the country's leadership listening from front-row seats, Benedict referred to the biblical account of how youths persecuted by the Babylonian king "preferred to face death by fire rather than betray their conscience and their faith."
He said people find freedom when they seek the truth Christianity offers.
"On the other hand there are those who wrongly interpret this search for the truth, leading them to irrationality and fanaticism; they close themselves up in 'their truth' and try to impose it on others," he said from the altar, backed by an image of Cuba's revolutionary hero Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
Benedict's comments were an unmistakable criticism of the Cuban reality even if the pope didn't mention the government by name, said the Rev. Joseph Fessio, a former student of Benedict's. As his U.S. publisher, Fessio knows well the pope's message and how he transmits it, particularly the watchwords of his pontificate: truth and freedom.

Surprise – it's a boy for Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green!
"We have been very lucky to have had a peaceful few weeks at home, but I would like to release this myself before others do," the actress, 26, wrote on her Facebook page Wednesday.
"I gave birth to our son Noah Shannon Green on September 27th. He is healthy, happy, and perfect."
This is the first child together for the couple, who married in 2010 and announced the pregnancy in June. Green, 39, has an elder son, Kassius Lijah, 10, from his prior relationship with Vanessa Marcil.

"We are humbled to have the opportunity to call ourselves the parents of this beautiful soul and I am forever grateful to God for allowing me to know this kind of boundless, immaculate love," Fox continues in her post.
"Thanks to those of you who wish to send your positive energy and well wishes. May God bless you and your families abundantly."

While Fox never spoke about her pregnancy, pictures of the actress and her growing stomach while on holiday in Hawaii with her husband in June confirmed weeks of growing speculation.
Still, Fox has openly spoken about her eagerness to become a mother, telling Cosmopolitan she's "always been maternal" and was looking forward to having "at least two, probably three kids."

Love this book! Tarzan is such a heroic and noble fellow.
By far Burroughs best and most famous novel, Tarzan of the Apes tells the story of a boy lost in the jungle and raised by apes in a way that is both more fantastic and more believable than any of the movie versions, all of which miss some major points. Though it has all the ethnocentric assumptions, unbelievable coincidences, and (relatively little) racism of its time, it is still one of the greatest adventure stories of all time.

The Record is here at Boardwalk Hall for the start of the wrestling state tournament. If you couldn't make it down here, check back on this blog for updates on how North Jersey's finest are faring at the state tournament. I wont be able to live blog the pre quarterfinals because we have a crazy early deadline. But I will update later.
For full results and the stories that were, check out The Record or northjersey.com tomorrow.
Prequarters starting. Gotta run. Will update later.
Preliminary round
220: Wayne Valley senior Alex Trani wins 7-4 in his match against Nico Condito, giving Wayne Valley four wrestlers in pre quarters, including Sam Tareky, who had a prelim bye after winning region1.
195: Hawthorne senior Evan Ramos easily advanced to the pre Q's with a dominating win over Patrick Wexler of Kingsway. Great way for him to get his state tournament career going.
Wayne Valley sophomore Anthony Landberg through the the pre quarters after a 4-2 win over Frank Juba of Allentown. Landberg faces North Bergen junior and top-seed Eric McMullen in the pre-q's.
182: Wayne Valley senior Nick Della Fera goes to ultimate ride out in his first match at states and he doesnt even need to get free to win. Keith Lewis of Franklin flinches twice while trying to control and is called for a bout-ending caution. Not the way that Della Fera wanted to win. But a win is a win down here.
170: Luke Farinaro of Don Bosco is through to the pre quarters after a 5-2 win over Andrew Nelson of Mountain Lakes.
160: Third time was not the charm for Glen Rock/Saddle Brook senior Matt Dickman. He was in good position, up 3-0 in the second. But he got reversed, then back points against him and couldn't get anything going in the third. He went 0-3 in three years at AC. Good kid, just wasn't his best when he needed to be.
152: Dan Ressler of Pascack Valley gets a big 7-2 win over Victor Delmonico of Phillipsburgh, 9-2.
145: James DeGregorio of Emerson/Park Ridge gets a takedown and back points to earn a 4-1 win over Tyler VanDyke of Pequannock. DiGregorio faces top seed TJ Miller or Camden Catholic in the prequarters.

Emmanuel Soto beat Nick Armagno of Passaic Valley, 5-1.
138: Ramsey senior Chuckie Slatter gets a big win in the first round, knocking off Jordan Peoples of Senaca, 8-0. Slatter faces top-seed Bryant Clagon of Tom River South in the prequarters.
Ridgewood senior Brandon Giovanetti couldnt find any offense against Derek Zehnbauer of Del. Valley, losing 3-1.
132: The one piece of good news to come out of this bracket so far is Emerson/Park Ridge senior Steven Schneider beating Jason Cohen, 7-4.
Top-seeded John Hennelly beat Joe Rizzitello of Paramus, 8-2. Mackey Price beat Bryan Loughlin, 6-4 in a hard fought bout that came down to that last second.
126: TJ DePasuqe came back from a 2-0 hole against Mike Jiampetti of Absegami and won 4-2 in overtime.
Nick Anderson of Delbarton earned a 5-1 decision over Brandon Buonomo of Emerson/Park Ridge.
Connor Burkert of ST. Peters pins Danny Tyson if WAldwick/Midland Pakr, at 5:30. He was up big before the pin.
120: Delbarton senior Max Rogers just ended Pascack Valley senior Dean Piterski high school career with a 6-4 win.
113: River Dell sophomore DJ Tirelli secured a farside craddle in the second, earned three points and rode that to a 3-2 victory over Passaic Valley sophomore Billy Bici.
106: Clifton sophomore Jean DuBois knocked off Glen Rock/Saddle Brook sophomore Mike Andreano, 9-5, after trailing by three early.
Bergen Catholic sophomore Tyler Casamenti beat Passaic senior Rinaldy Hidalgo, 5-0.
