When the Call Went Out, the Firefighters Answered
Michele Geissler knows what it's like to sit through a dialysis treatment. The West Charlton resident has been through quite a few due to kidney issues.
"It's hours and hours at a time," she said. "It's tough for me, and I'm an adult. I can't imagine what it's like for kids."
|Michele Geissler shares a smile with kids on the dialysis unit.
Neither could a group of Schenectady firefighters who recently made a generous donation to the Children's Hospital.
It started back in September 2011, when Geissler and her then 16-year-old son Stephen decided to help kids undergoing dialysis by donating an Xbox gaming system and a few games to the pediatric dialysis unit at Albany Medical Center.
"When I came to the hospital for my yearly visit last January they told me how much the kids were enjoying the games," Michele Geissler said. "So I put a shout-out on Facebook to see if my friends had any used games we could add."
|George Burns of the Schenectady Fire Department presents video games to Nicholas, a patient in the dialysis unit.
Immediately, she heard from several members of the Schenectady Fire Department from where she had retired.
The firefighters collected nearly 40 Xbox games and a brand new Xbox gaming system to donate, helping children pass time during dialysis treatment. The system will also be shared within the Children's Hospital.
"We're really happy to share these with you and hope they make your time here a little bit easier," Capt. Don Mareno said during a recent visit to the dialysis unit to present the gifts and meet the children.
"I should have known with these guys," Geissler said of the firefighters. "You ask them for anything and they run with it."

Vanguard makes prestigious list
Published: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
Vanguard High School has been added to the Washington Post's "Most Challenging High Schools" list.
Vanguard never received the survey. It submitted one after the initial list was announced.
Belleview ranked 511 on the list, followed by Vanguard at 577, North Marion at 1,231, Forest at 1,579 and Lake Weir at 1,813.
The ranking includes the top 9 percent of the nation's 22,000 high schools. The ranking is not based on performance; rather, it reveals the top schools that challenge all students to take AP, IB and AICE exams.

General Discussion
The Ectodermal Dysplasias are a group of hereditary, non-progressive syndromes in which the affected tissue derives primarily from the ectodermal germ layer. The skin, its derivatives, and some other organs are involved. A predisposition to respiratory infections, due to a somewhat depressed immune system and to defective mucous glands in parts of the respiratory tract, is the most life threatening characteristic of this group of disorders.

Phenotypes, Genotypes and Environmental Factors in Childhood Asthma
We are working in collaboration with the Manchester Asthma and Allergy Study (MAAS) and Shared Genomics project to gain a better understanding of the genetic and environmental causes of childhood asthma. An important part of this work is to explore the phenotypes exhibited by children suffering from asthma, the underlying assumption being that asthma actually corresponds to a group of diseases with similar, but not identical, phenotypes.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WCNC) -- Billy Graham's health is fair, according to his son Franklin.
The president of Samaritan's Purse addressed his father's health as the non-profit packed boxes to send overseas for children affected by war.
"My father is only okay," he said. "After his birthday he had an infection in his lungs. He has not been able to recover and regain his strength from that short hospital stay."
Franklin said while his father's vitals are good, the family would appreciate prayers.
"We're all concerned for him, but he's stable. He's at home and he's comfortable."
Billy Graham celebrated his 95th birthday in early November. He was admitted to the hospital weeks later.

"Bears" and "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West" both close Friday. "Bears" screens at noon, 1 and 4 p.m. and "Lewis & Clark" at 3 p.m.CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Icy nerve and cool determination win out in "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure," the Clay Center's new giant-screen film opening Saturday at its ElectricSky Theater.
Narrated by Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey and featuring the voice of noted British actor Michael Gambon, with grainy footage and photographs taken from the original expedition as well as modern dramatic reenactment, "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure" is a thrilling yarn and a real treat for history buffs and fans of true-life adventure.
In 1914, celebrated explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton launched the Imperial Trans-Atlantic Expedition with the plan to cross the largely unexplored Antarctic continent. En route, Shackleton's ship, The Endurance, became inextricably lodged in an ice flow. Trapped for months, pressure from the shifting ice eventually crushed the boat, forcing Shackleton's expedition to set out for their own rescue.
It was a harrowing journey
Usually, ElectricSky films succeed when they focus more on gorgeous panoramic views that emphasize immensity than when too much attention is given to smaller details that don't always translate as well to the huge screen.
"Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure" is an exception. The vastness of the screen serves to heighten the terrible awesomeness of the task Shackleton and his six-man rescue crew faced in their tiny, modified sailboat.
Still, far from being a grim depiction of privation and suffering, the archival footage taken by the expedition's photographer Frank Hurley is often lighthearted and shows a side of the adventure not usually remembered: they managed to have a lot of fun. Hurley's footage shows the group's camaraderie and how they were at play, as well as how hard they worked to stay alive.
"Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure" is a better than average giant screen film, but not because the visuals are more impressive than usual. It's better because it offers something seldom found in one of these giant screen films: inspiration. The documentary underscores the values of optimism, tenacity, self-reliance and courage in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Kansas City Barbecue Sauce Recipe
Make Your Own Barbecue Sauce
Every Summer I like to experiment with different homemade barbecue sauces. While I've made sauces that require hours to simmer and others that call for finely minced vegetables, I've never come across a barbecue sauce as easy and delicious as this one. The recipe says it's a Kansas City barbecue sauce, but being as I'm a California girl, I really know nothing about the regional differences of barbecue sauces (if you do, please share with me below!). What I do know is this sauce is really easy to make and absolutely scrumptious slathered on ribs and chicken. There's no chopping or heating involved, all you have to do is measure a bunch of spices into a bowl, stir in the liquids, and you've got homemade barbecue sauce. I love the addition of curry powder, it provides a subtle exotic-ness to the sauce. Want to learn how it's prepared? Just keep reading.

Coming together?
Politics | In his second inaugural address, President Obama calls for unity but his hints at more government will likely continue the divide
"Coming together?" Continued...
WASHINGTON—The symbolic start of President Barack Obama's second term included the story of President Abraham Lincoln's insistence that work continue on the then half-completed Capitol dome despite the nation being torn apart by the Civil War.
"If people see the Capitol is going on, it is a sign we intend this Union shall go on," Lincoln said at the time, as recounted during Monday's inaugural festivities by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
Workers completed that dome, a symbol of national unity, 150 years ago this year. And when President Obama stood under its shadow before hundreds of thousands gathered on the National Mall, he tried to emphasize that unity, peppering his 15-minute inaugural speech with numerous mentions of the word "together."
"My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together," Obama said.
He also chided the politicians, seated on either side of him during the ceremony, for the bickering that has dominated Washington:
"We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate," the president said.
The crowd, weary over the partisanship and indecisiveness displayed by the nation's lawmakers, gave Obama's reprimand a loud cheer.
But, in the midst of his call for unity, the president included hearty endorsements to a series of liberal policies that are sure to dismay the conservative lawmakers he must deal with over the next four years. He pledged to take on climate change and defend the entitlement programs that are bankrupting the government while endorsing bigger government as a solution to the nation's fiscal woes.
"The commitments we make to each other, through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us," Obama said. "They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great."
The president called on "hard choices" to reduce the size of the nation's deficit, something all Republicans would applaud. But with his very next sentence, Obama suggested that real entitlement reform, the kind that could lead to change in the fiscal crisis, would remain more rhetorical than actual.
"We reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future," he said.
With the nation's debt at $16.4 trillion and counting (nearly $6 trillion more than when Obama first took office in 2009) fiscal conservatives were surely hoping for any backing by the president of policies that recognize the need for real spending cuts within the federal government.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said Obama's second term represents a fresh start for "dealing with the great challenges of our day … the transcendent challenge of unsustainable federal spending and debt."
But Obama in his speech did not accuse the amount of federal government spending as being a part of any problem. He said that it is not the job of lawmakers today "to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time." As he repeated the phrase "our time" throughout his speech, the president signaled his belief that more government action is needed in this particular time in the nation's history.
"We have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action," Obama said.
Upon finishing his speech, the president lingered a bit around the podium, looking back at a crowd that stretched from the U.S. Capitol all the way to the Washington Monument. TV microphones caught him musing aloud: "I want to take a look, one more time," he said. "I'm not going to see again."
This realization that he will not face the voters again may emboldened Obama, despite his rhetoric of unity, to go all in over the next four years when it comes to pushing and defending the liberal policies of his party.
But it was not the president's policy promotions that rang the loudest on Monday. Instead it was the reaction of the gathered crowd that showed how far the nation has to go.
Lynetria Johnson, 41, traveled from Tulsa, Okla., with her family to attend her first presidential inauguration. She was encouraged by Obama's talk of unity but dismayed by the actions of those in the crowd. Despite the remembrance on Monday of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Capitol dome in the midst of civil strife, and despite the repeated calls of togetherness in Obama's speech, the crowd launched into loud boos whenever a Republican appeared on the large screens placed throughout the National Mall.
They booed former GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. They jeered at former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
"I thought that was really sad," Johnson said. "[Obama] talked about us coming together and stopping this political infighting, and everybody was booing. It just shows the state of the country."

STATE TOURNAMENT at Harlan Rogers Park in Fort Dodge
(FORT DODGE) -- Top-rated Akron-Westfield overcame a sloppy defensive effort with their bunting and slap-hitting game to win their State tournament opener 9-7 over unrated Janesville Monday in Fort Dodge. The Westerners got two hits each from Jaclyn Smith, Kourtney Hedlund, Dana Hedlund and Jordan Hansen in an eleven-hit attack that off-set five Westerner errors.. A four-run fourth gave the Westerners a 7-1 lead and they took a 9-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh before Janesville scored three runs on four hits to make it interesting. Akron-Westfield improves to 35-and-2 and now plays #5-Don Bosco (33-8) Thursday morning at 11 a.m. in the semifinals.
(FORT DODGE) -- Fourth-rated Newell-Fonda used their speed-game to rattle number-eight Remsen St. Mary's into committing eight errors and the Mustangs advanced to the semifinals with a 14-1 win over the Hawks in the 1A quarterfinals Monday. A six-run second inning, marked by five hits and three Hawk errors broke the game open. Renee Maneman scored four runs for Newell-Fonda and also threw a four-hitter. Three of the St. Mary's hits came in the fourth inning when the Hawks scored their only run on Lyndsie Schorg's RBI hit. The loss halts a nine-game St. Mary's winning streak. They'll take a 28-and-7 record to the consolation bracket Wednesday at 10 a.m. where they'll meet defending State champion Martensdale-St. Marys. Newell-Fonda meets number-ten New London at 11:30 Thursday in the semifinals.

(LE MARS) -- Kendall Candor singled home the tying run in the bottom of the seventh inning and then got the winning RBI in the 11th inning Monday night when he worked a bases-loaded, two-out walk on a 3-2 pitch to force in the winning run and number-five Le Mars beat Sergeant Bluff-Luton 4-3 to win the 3A District 1 championship for the second year in a row. Both teams scored twice in the first inning. Spencer Wyant's two-run homer to left put the Warriors in front 2-0 but the Bulldogs answered on Andy Hefner's RBI fielder's choice grounder and a bases-loaded walk to Dayton Rand. The rest of the night was dominated by pitching. Bryce Hanson worked the first eight inning for S-B-L while Parker Rolfes worked nine innings for Le Mars. Neither figured in the decision. Wyant singled home the go-ahead run for Sergeant Bluff-Luton in the fifth before Candor tied it with one-out in the last of the seventh. Two hard throwers, Cody Selig for the Warriors and Colan Borchers for the Bulldogs exchanged goose eggs for the 8th, 9th and 10th innings before Parker Rolfes started Le Mars' winning rally with a two-out single. After Rolfes stole second, Jacob Lamoreux was intentionally walked and Hunter Rowe worked a walk to load the bases. Candor then took a 3-2 pitch high for ball four and a walk-off walk. Colan Borchers threw two innings of hitless, scoreless relief with four walks and five strikeouts to earn the win. He is now 5-and-5 for the season. Borchers and Rolfes teamed up to allow only four hits. Le Mars improves to 27-and-7 and will host top-rated Bishop Heelan (33-4) in the Sub-State finals Wednesday starting at 7 o'clock.

(REMSEN) -- Junior Matt Wesselmman scattered five hits and recorded eight strike outs to pitch Remsen St. Mary's to a 2-1 victory over number-nine West Lyon Tuesday night to claim the 1A Sub-State 1 championship and punch their ticket to the State tournament in Des Moines. The Hawks were limited to just two hits by West Lyon's top two pitchers, Kacey Myrlie and Jonathan Van Beek. But both hits drove in the two St. Mary's runs. Andrew Pottebaum's single in the second drove in the Hawks' first run and Tyler Delperdang's double an inning later drove in the go-ahead run. West Lyon tied the game in the top of the third on a ground out by Scott Erickson. The Wildcats opened the the sixth inning with a pair of singles and had runners on first and third with one-out when Jordan Van Beek drilled a hard lineer at shortstop Elliott Conover who then doubled the runner off third base to end the threat. West Lyon never threatened again as Wesselmann retired the side in order in the seventh. Remsen St. Mary's will be making their eighth State tournament trip and their third since 2007. The Hawks are now 26-and-8.

(LE MARS) -- In a cruel twist of fate, Le Mars was informed about thirty minutes into their celebration of the school's first State baseball tournament trip that they would have to forfeit the victory and Bishop Heelan was going to the 3A State meet instead. Le Mars used a pitcher that wasn't eligible to pitch Wednesday night after going nine innings Monday night in the District finals against Sergeant Bluff-Luton. So Le Mars' 8-5, 11 inning victory over top-rated Bishop Heelan was reversed into a 7-0 forfeit by the Iowa High School Athletic Association in Boone. Le Mars' celebration turned into utter disbelief and Le Mars head coach Trent Eckstaine somberly carried the State tournament qualifying banner over to Heelan head coach Andy Osborne, leaving Bulldog fans and players to mourn the loss of what nearly was!

(FORT DODGE) -- Kayla Tindall took a no-hitter into the sixth inning Thursday and settled on a one-hit shutout to pitch top-rated Akron-Westfield to a 1-0 semifinal round win over number-five Don Bosco and into the 1A State championship game Friday at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge. Baylee Rhoads lined a single to right field with one out in the sixth inning to spoil Tindall's no-hit bid, ending a string of 15 consecutive batters retired in a row. Tindall finished with five strike outs. She walked one. The Westerners scored their lone run in the third inning on a fielder's choice ground out. Don Bosco attempted to complete a double play and when the throw to first base was dropped, Sarah Schroeder dashed home to score.

(DES MOINES) -- Number-three Van Meter took advantage of four errors to score two unearned runs in the sixth inning Saturday night, snapping a 4-all tie, and the Bulldogs eliminated Remsen St.Mary's 6-4 in the Class 1A quarterfinals of the State baseball tournament in Des Moines. The Hawks rallied from a 4-0 deficit with two runs in the third and two more in the fifth. Tyler Delperdang's sacrifice fly plated the first St. Mary's run and Brady Harpenau's single scored another in the third. The Hawks pulled to within one on a fifth inning error and a Nate Roder single to right field tied the game. Van Meter's winning rally started when Kurt Sankey reached first base after striking out. Jake Essick attempted to bunt Sankey to second base but the throw to first base was high. Two more errors on the play allowed Sankey to score and Essick to reach third base. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Logan Crawford. Brandon Brittain, the third pitcher used by Van Meter, got the win while Matt Wesselmann took the loss. Wessellmann scattered eight hits, walked one and struck out nine. Remsen St.Mary's finishes with a 25-and-9 record.

If you're a regular GamePolitics reader, you know that President Barack Obama often refers to video games as something to be set aside in favor of presumably more worthwhile pursuits. In the most recent example, Obama, speaking at the NAACP's 100th anniversary dinner, counseled African-American parents to put away the Xbox.
Now, the Entertainment Consumers Association is urging gamers to let the President know that there is a lot of good in video games. Brett Schenker, Online Advocacy Manager for the ECA, writes:
Throughout the Presidential race and continuing into his Presidency, President Obama on numerous occasions has said "put the video games away." As a gamer and a voter, [the ECA is] asking you to email President Obama to point out some of the ways that video games have empowered and educated you, as well as their power to build teamwork and make people healthier…
We know video games can promote fitness. We know games can educate, because we've experienced that first hand. Video games are also not solely consumption entertainment as we're being challenged to create content for some of our favorite games. We're a part of the new global choice for entertainment and the community it's spawned.
We're asking you to speak out now and put a positive face on our community. Make sure to let the President know what we experience every day. Take a moment and make your voice heard.
To assist gamers in contacting the Prez on this issue, the ECA has set up an online action campaign where gamers can personalize their message and have it forwarded to the White House.

By Carol Memmott, USA TODAY
Millions of TV viewers tune in to HGTV's long-running House Hunters regularly; some people even claim addiction to the show. Who doesn't like snooping in other people's homes?
The show has a prospective buyer or buyers tour three properties, giving their critiques along the way on closet space, countertops and wall colors. At show's end, one home is chosen for purchase.
But how real is "reality" on the show? An account posted by one home buyer on the popular Hooked on Houses blog, causing a mini-uproar on the Web, says the show is almost completely staged.
Bobi Jensen, whose San Antonio house hunt was featured in 2006, wrote, "The producers said they found our (true) story - that we were getting a bigger house and turning our other one into a rental - boring and overdone. So instead they just wanted to emphasize how our home was too small and we needed a bigger one desperately. It wasn't true, but it was a smaller house than the one we bought so I went with it."
Jensen also wrote, "They didn't even 'accept' us being a subject for the show until we closed on the house we were buying. So then when they decided to film our episode, we had to scramble to find houses to tour and pretend we were considering." She added, perhaps most surprisingly, that "the ones we looked at weren't even for sale. ... They were just our two friends' houses who were nice enough to madly clean for days in preparation for the cameras!"
Jensen, who loved the show and who currently lives in Omaha, says she's only talking about this now because her hairdresser encouraged her to blog about it. "They actually let you know in the middle of applying online (that it's not all real)," she says in an interview. "They say you have to be near closing on the house you've already picked, because they don't want to waste their time on anyone who's still in the decision-making process. And we knew we were a good fit because we already had a new house but hadn't moved in."
HGTV programming executive Brian Balthazar said in a statement about the show: "We've learned that the pursuit of the perfect home involves big decisions that usually take place over a period of time - more time than we can capture in 30 minutes of television. However, with a series like House Hunters, HGTV viewers enjoy the vicarious and entertaining experience of choosing a home - from establishing a budget, to touring properties and weighing the pros and cons of each one.
"We're making a television show, so we manage certain production and time constraints, while honoring the home-buying process. To maximize production time, we seek out families who are pretty far along in the process. Often everything moves much more quickly than we can anticipate, so we go back and revisit some of the homes that the family has already seen and we capture their authentic reactions.
"Because the stakes in real estate are so high, these homeowners always find themselves right back in the moment, experiencing the same emotions and reactions to these properties. Showcasing three homes makes it easier for our audience to 'play along' and guess which one the family will select. It's part of the joy of the House Hunters viewing experience. Through the lens of television, we can offer a uniquely satisfying and fun viewing experience that fulfills a universal need to occasionally step into someone else's shoes," says Balthazar.
Says Julia Sweeten of the Hooked on Houses blog: "For the last few years I've been hearing stories from people behind the scenes at House Hunters telling me that this was the way it was done. I first wrote about it in 2010. So I wasn't surprised to hear Bobi's story, although some of the elements were new to me, like the fact that she and her husband were responsible for finding the houses to look at.
"What did surprise me was how shocked and disappointed my readers were to learn the truth. I'm getting comments from people who say they will never watch HGTV again, and that it 'ruined' the show for them. I think HGTV's most loyal viewers feel like they have a kind of personal relationship with the channel and with their favorite shows on it, which is why they may feel like any kind of fakery is a kind of betrayal."
Sweeten, however, won't stop tuning in. "I still watch the show, even though I know the truth about it. I love looking at houses, so I enjoy house hunting vicariously through it, regardless of the story-telling methods they use."
Jensen says she's shocked by people's reaction. "I didn't think people believed it as much as they do."
She has no hard feelings about her experience, although she doesn't watch the show anymore. "I haven't had cable for years."

It took me 20 years to realize that wherever we lived, the garden was my favourite room in the house. With that in mind we bought our home in 2003 based on the potential of the garden bordered by a ravine. The property provided a blank slate for the imagination. Our first summer we impatiently watched where the sun and shade met, and observed what already was planted.

A pair of New York State Senators, debating legislation aimed at violent video games, nearly came to blows themselves, reports the Statewide News Service.
According to the story, bill sponsor Sen. Andrew Lanza (R, left) and Sen. Ruth Hassell-Thompson (D) got into a dust-up about the wording of A8696, Go. Eliot Spitzer's bill which would make selling games featuring "depraved violence" to a minor a felony offense.
From the transcript:
Lanza: The cases that have been struck down have been struck down on the principle that states have attempted to prohibit the sale of video games based upon the speech content, that being violence.
Hassell-Thompson: You're misreading the case. You're misreading them. I don't know whether you're doing it deliberately or what. It's frustrating me.
Lanza: I'm not misreading the cases. Those are the cases.
Hassell-Thompson: You're misreading the cases.
Lanza: Absolutely not Senator. We can agree to disagree on that point.
Hassell-Thompson: You got a battery of attorneys sitting behind you. I'm telling you I wrangled with them 3 out of 5 meetings.
Lanza: Maybe you're missing something.
Hassell-Thompson: Well, we're paying them. We should fire them.
Lanza: Let's just be clear. It makes it a felony to sell video games based upon the speech contained therein. That's what it does. Now it may pass constitutional muster because the speech that is being regulated therein is pornography, which I might add is already regulated and is already prohibited with its distribution to minors. So you might say the governor's version accomplishes nothing. I'm not saying that but you might say it.
UPDATE: GP has heard from a source who was present and says that while it was clear that no love was lost between Lanza and Hassell-Thompson, the idea that blows were imminent is overstated.
The source adds:
Senator Hassell-Thompson and other Democrats on the conference committee argued that the Governor's proposal contained is A8696 is constitutional because it requires that the material to be restricted be both violent and obscene. Lanza pointed out that, if that is true, then the bill doesn't regulate anything that is not already regulated under the obscenity law (hence his reference to "pornography") and is meaningless.

In response to puddinpuddin's comment:
KG is a national treasure. End of conversation.
RE: KG is a national treasure.
He is probably one of the best ever PFs in the game however.....
I am a Celtic fan since the Cousy-Sharman days so really enjoyed our dominance in the Bird-Parish-McHale days.
Ok, first of all..the NBA is a business. But I agree that loyalty to a team is vital to maintain esprit de corps. KG says he bleeds "Green". Please keep in mind that he is not a home grown player like Larry Bird,12 years, and PP too with 15 years all with the "C"s. KG's best years, because he was younger were the 10 or so with Minn but he never won a title. He's only had 5 years with us but did get a ring.
Here's what we owe KG and PP. Ask them if they wouldn't mind being traded to the Clippers as they'll be able to continue to play together, continue to bash the hated Lakers and these 2 allstars could get another ring together(better chance with Clippers & R. Paul &Blake Griffin I think) and possibly retire together in their local community. I reiterate, ask them !!!
