Sighting Details
This occurred more than thirty years ago, but a Hanger 1 episode that I watched was similar enough to inspire me to send this. At the time this occurred I and my family lived in a very old farm house (built pre-civil war)directly across from Huron County Landfill. The house did not have air conditioning, and I had screens in the bedroom windows. My wife at that time (ex-wife now)worked at a fast food place that had late night drive through and she was not home when I experienced the UFO. I have two sons who have been 3 years old and nearly 5 years old at that time. We had a dog at that time, Ruffy, kind of a black lab mix mutt, that was not confined. The bedroom I was asleep in was on the first floor. I was awakened by Ruffy persistently growling outside close to the bedroom window. Eventually, I got up and went outside to see what the heck she was growling at. We lived on the north side of Townline 131, and the landfill was directly across from us on the south side of the road. The house only had 1 door, and that was near the back of the house, so when I went outside I would be approaching Ruffy's position from behind her. I remember walking up to her and quietly saying something like "What you growling at girl?" I remember getting a tail wag as an acknowledgement, but her focus was still toward the landfill. At this point, we were at the southeast corner of the house. I walked on out into the front yard, but Ruffy would not come with me. She remained at the southeast corner of the house. I stared into the landfill for a while, but I didn't hear or see a thing (I can't remember if it was a moonless night, or overcast, but it was pretty dark). I finally decided she must be growling at a deer or something and turned to go back into the house. It was at that point that I heard the roar. I turned back toward the landfill and there right in front of me was an object. It was dark enough that I could not make out an actual shape, but there were three distinct lights. The property (I still own it) has a frontage of about 150 feet. The two red lights were somewhat farther apart then that, with the white light centered between the red ones but about 50 feet or so higher in the air. I would estimate the red lights to be about 80 feet off the ground...just above treetop level. I was probably no more then 300 feet away. The roar did not continue, and the object just moved away south until I could no longer see it. That was all that I saw and experienced. We used to have military planes out of...Perrysburg, I think...that would fly over the area from time to time, and I think I might have chalked up what I saw to one of those if it wasn't for subsequent events. The next night, my ex-wife was again working the late shift. When she arrived home the object was hovering over the area between where our house is and where the landfill office/weigh scale is located. To my knowledge, to this day she won't talk about it. My youngest son (now 34) said he asked her about it once and she just said "I don't want to talk about it". The same week, maybe two day later, the youngest son (about 3 and a half years old at the time) was talking about a face looking in their bedroom window. I remember logging it in my mind at the time because of when he mentioned it, and the closeness in time to my and my ex-wife's ufo experiences. And now there is more to add. Yesterday (4/26/2014) my youngest son and I were driving to the Columbus airport to pick up his older brother who was returning from Japan, and I brought up the Hanger 1 series and how something I saw on it was eerily similar to what I had experienced, and I wondered if he remembered... At that point he interrupted me and said "The face in the window! I sure do, it's as clear in my mind as if it was yesterday." He then went on to describe what he saw. He said it was brown and looked like a mummy face...like a mummy looks like when you remove the coverings. As we drove and talked, we both wondered if Wayne (his older brother) had ever experienced anything. After we picked him up at the airport and were on our way back, we related to him what we had been discussing. Wayne too had had an 'event' that was clear in his mind. He said that he just thought it was a very vivid dream...but he swears there was a time that he thought there was something in their room (an apelike creature), and that it took Craig and went out the window then jumped over the landfill fence. Again...maybe just a dream, but I have one more thing to add. When the kids were young they were notorious for not going to sleep when they were supposed to. They were supposed to be in bed one night, and I was still awake downstairs when I heard footsteps upstairs. I remember thinking to myself "Are those dang kids still up?". So I quietly went up the stairs so I could catch them and give them heck. When I got upstairs they were sound asleep in their beds. My grandmother said it was probably squirrels, but darn it, I know what squirrels sound like when they are in a house and what I heard was. not. squirrels. I also cannot recall when this occurred in relation to the other events that I've put down. I don't know if it was before or after. I don't think it was too close to the same time because I didn't associate it with the UFO, and it was only Wayne telling me about his "vivid memory" that made me wonder. That's pretty much it. I don't think there is much of anything to investigate. The house burned down some years back, and I rent the property out now to a guy who has a trailer on it. The landfill is still there, but operates as a transfer station now. I see the next question on this form is number of witnesses. I am going to just put 1, because I was by myself when I experienced it. But did it subsequently become 2 or 3 or 4? I don't know and I probably never will.

And when I got back to the car, Joel had the radio up and his chin out, trying not to cry. There's been another school shooting --over 20 people dead, he said.
And the oppression of the anger, the grief, the helplessness, the why buried me in an avalanche. Turn it up, I said, because Paeha was doing his puppy whine in the back seat and I could hardly hear the sonorous voice on the NPR station --one of the two stations we get way out here. Joel turned it up just as they announced it was an elementary school, and most of the dead were children.
And I began my mantra for the dead --receive them God with open arms, may the saints and their ancestors greet them, the angels meet them and carry them home. May they find their place at the feast, and all their favorite foods --even if it's chicken nuggets and pizza. Father, look down with pity on those who grieve, and give them strength and courage to do all that they must do in the days and weeks ahead --you who know the loss of your own beloved child, put a mantle of comfort around their shoulders, a crown of mercy, the cloak of patience --make your presence known to them....
--and then somewhere in there, the string of cuss words, like pearls --each complete and perfect.
And then, as we knew to look for them, the headlines didn't improve all day long, nor in to the evening. The verbal gestures then began --time for more gun control, the second worse massacre, we don't need more gun control --just need to responsibly lock the guns away....
The shock. The grief. A nation reeling from yet another barrage of self-inflicted domestic gun fire.
And the picture of the children huddled without jackets, the boy with his hands to his face, the girl trying to comfort him seared its way in to the flesh of my brain like a hot brand.
Except, the gnawing reality... which I hesitated to say out loud --about which I was even ashamed to think on this day.... No, this wasn't one of the worst massacres... Not. Even. Close.
--the smallpox infested blankets... --thousands dead.
--the denial of promised rations if they would just stay in the
--the two hundred plus bleeding to death in the snow, shot down five days after Christmas at Wounded Knee... children --lots of children, certainly more than twenty, women, unarmed men --their land illegally taken, families broken up, starved, scared, running. Eventually dumped in to a hole, jumbled together, and marked with a cross.... And the men who perpetrated this crime were given medals of honor by the Federal government. 20 Congressional Medals of Honor.... (Only three Medals were given in South Dakota for the whole duration of WWII.)
The gnawing reality that what was being said behind closed doors here was --yes, this is awful, this is truly awful ....maybe now the wasicus will understand? Will they understand our pain?
Maybe now.... 105 men. Over 200 women and children....
--and I am left thinking that perhaps we can legislate the hell out of ourselves, but that won't stop us. Sin is sin in every generation --but who among us wishes to face it? Who among us can stop sinning?
At prayer this morning (Luke 22:31-38)
Jesus said, "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."...the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one....
And he [Simon] said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!"
Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you have denied three times that you know me."
He [Jesus] said to them, "When I sent you out without a purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?"
They said, "No, not a thing."
He said to them, "But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me, 'And he was counted among the lawless'; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled."
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."
He replied, "It is enough."
I have no sword. I have no gun either, for that matter. I don't want one either. I have at times grappled with this scripture --but with no lasting effect in my heart or soul. Why does Jesus tell the disciples to go sell their cloaks and buy swords? Is Jesus just being sarcastic at the end, saying two swords are enough... yeah, like, right. Two swords are enough for what? To face the Temple and Roman authorities...
What strikes me this morning is not the sword bit --but his line, counted among the lawless.... Were two swords enough to make him be counted among the lawless? Was it about being counted among the lawless --the transgressors --the ones needing redemption? --the living dead?
Some how, this morning, with our humanity once again rubbed raw, our souls unbridled in shock in grief --coming face to face yet again with our brokenness, particularly our brokenness as a nation --somehow it makes more sense this morning to acknowledge our lawlessness and our inadequate swords that we wield trying to protect ourselves from the very same....
(--and maybe even ask ourselves questions like, how come it is alright for a teacher of six year-olds to be a gun fanatic? --how come we don't care for the mentally ill? --how come it's alright to be shocked at the death of twenty children in white suburbia, but there is no shock over the deaths of twenty children gunned down every year, say, in the black or hispanic ghettos, or the suicides among our native youth?)
Not 'why' --but, how come?
And I suppose my own grief and shock will always be laced with anger.... --that is my own sword, great enough to put me among the lawless....
So, today I will pray, for the mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles.... the children.
I will pray for the lawless --the outlaws. I will pray for all those who seek to do others harm.
I will pray that we see... that there is no 'why' that will be easily fixed....
And I will pray we find humility... and that peace which passes all understanding. Now. And always.

OSCARS: Will Critics & Precursor Awards Carry More Weight In A Jam-Packed Year?
The volume of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voters who've admitted they've barely seen any films so close to ballot opening on December 27 is surprising. One Oscar-winning member of the actors branch, who has been working nonstop, actually revealed she has seen nothing except her own film. This is after studios have spent millions of dollars sending out DVD screeners, conducting special screenings and Q&As, and booking their contenders on every talk show and morning show in existence, all in an effort to get the attention of those 6,028 members who must select their nominees by January 8. One Oscar-nominated writer-director has only seen Nebraska and a couple of other films but had recently broken up with his girlfriend and didn't want to watch his screeners alone. "My son did tell me 12 Years A Slave was the best movie he saw all year, so I will try to see that one," he says. To be fair, I also spoke to numerous Academy members who were trying to keep up with the films, but—as one busy voter confessed— didn't want to rely solely on screeners, which makes it all the more difficult to find time to see everything. "I really don't want to watch these things on my television set. I want to go to a theater," the voter says.
Related: OSCARS: Ballots Are Out And The Race Is On
There are plenty of Academy members who are trying to see as much as they can, but how exactly do campaigners reach this elusive voter, who has far less time on their hands and way too many movies to watch? This is where critics—often a nemesis of many of these Academy members—can suddenly come in handy. If the ever-growing barrage of awards-giving critics groups across the country appears to reach a consensus, it can be a huge boost to a film hoping to get in the Academy conversation.
"This movie lives or dies with critics and awards. They are extremely important to a smaller film like this," Fox Searchlight co-president Nancy Utley told me after 12 Years A Slave premiered at the Telluride Film Festival over Labor Day weekend. Since then, the acclaimed film has won a majority of year-end critics awards, even though early in the process it failed to pick up the top prize from some of the more prominent groups, including the Los Angeles and New York film critics as well as the National Board of Review. Pundits immediately warned the film could be in trouble Oscar-wise because it didn't sweep everything in sight. 12 Years did rebound thanks to making the AFI Awards list as well as culling impressive nominations from the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Broadcast Film Critics Association Critics Choice Movie Awards. Just like that, it was back at the top of the contender heap. The sheer volume of honors it can boast about in TV, newspaper and trade ads makes it hard for even the most reticent of Oscar voters to ignore. American Hustle, Her, Gravity, Inside Llewyn Davis and Blue Jasmine are the other films making the most noise among the pre-Oscar awards pack.
The key is to get voters to heed the heat, and these precursor groups can definitely play a part. However, it doesn't mean the Academy will fall right in line. In 2010, The Social Network pulled off a clean sweep of the precursors right through the Golden Globes, but saw its momentum stop when it got to the guild awards and, eventually, to the Academy, which gave best picture to The King's Speech.
Many of the more prominent precursor awards have their own red carpet and TV deals that help expose contenders. Of course, the Golden Globes lead that pack with a high-rated broadcast on NBC (January 12), but there's also the SAG Awards on TNT/TBS (January 18) and the CCMAs on The CW (January 16). Although all of these shows will happen after the Oscar nomination ballots are in, they can be enormously influential in Phase 2, creating a wave of wins for contenders to take right through to Oscar night several weeks later.
Last year, Ben Affleck was famously snubbed by Oscar, failing to get an expected directing nom. He was obviously depressed, but thanks to the CCMAs, which were held later that same day, he came roaring back when he won the group's best director prize along with best picture for Argo. He began his acceptance speech saying, "I'd like to thank the Academy…" It's almost as if the snub somehow helped as he gained attention and continued to triumph at multiple pre-Oscar events, ultimately taking the best picture Oscar—not a bad consolation prize.
The CCMAs, hoping lightning will strike twice (ratings on The CW were strong), is once again holding its awards show the same day as the Oscar nominations. BFCA president Joey Berlin even boasts of the group's attempts to influence Oscar voters. "We can't wait for January 16, when the Academy Award nominations will be announced in the morning," he says. "So many of their honorees will then make their first public appearance as Oscar nominees on our red carpet."
The importance of getting nominations and being seen holding trophies at these precursor awards cannot be underestimated. "It's very important, and they help set the pace for the film during the season," says Karen Fried, an awards consultant for Focus Features who's campaigning for Dallas Buyers Club, which has been picking up notice for stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. "The awards attention Dallas Buyers Club has been receiving should have a strong impact on the Academy for what is essentially a smaller film than many of the other contenders. They will have an impact because we are being noticed, and that means more voters will be inclined to see the movie."
Not every Academy member is impressed by all the noise created in the run-up to the Oscars. In fact, one prominent member of the directors branch, Paul Schrader, is fed up with all of it and went on a rant on his Facebook page that he later expanded on IndieWire. "I find this escalating media chatter regarding film-society awards, Oscar handicapping and promotional gimmicks increasingly tiresome," he wrote. "I stopped voting for DGA and WGA awards last year, and for the first time since 1976, when I was privileged to be accepted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, I may leave my Oscar ballot unopened. Why? Every year I've exercised my deeply appreciated right to vote for the annual Oscar awards. But now I am sickened by the shameless monied huckstering of the vote-procuring process."
Whether Schrader's opinion is widely shared in the Academy is questionable, but as long as the studios and distributors continue to elevate the importance of the proliferating precursor awards business, it will only increase the number of Oscar whisperers out there trying to cut their own slice of awards season pie.
It's a interesting Oscar race this year and Academy voters should watch all the films they can before the deadline. In my opinion, 12 Years a Slave was a great film but not necessarily worthy of Best Picture. American Hustle was overrated. Saving Mr. Banks surprised me, well written, and great performance by Emma Thompson. I also hope some of the smaller films get nominated.
Hopefully enough voters will remember BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR.
The lead actress, ADELE EXARCHOPOULOS, gives the performance of the year in it.
Paul Schrader threatens to boycott the vote, why not just vote for his favorite films or films that were not heavily promoted? That would be more effective imo.
#TeamMr.Banks (Pic. et al.) #TeamSallyHawkins (supp. actress) #TeamYoung&Beautiful (song) #TeamErnest&Celestine (anim.)
Agreed. While I get why Schrader may be upset by the process, I'd much rather have his opinion on Best Screenplay or Best Director than Abigail Breslin, Anna Paquin or (with all due respect) some CGI effects guy in his 20s.
You shouldn't be allowed to vote unless you've seen the films. This is how less worthy stuff wins based on chatter rather then merit.
Wholeheartedly agree with you, Trisha! Blue is an amazing film and Adele deserves to be nominated. If she isn't, it'll be a shame. But the real shame is that not enough people have seen this film!
American Hustle is far overrated. Many of the performances are indeed good, but the film's a bit of a mess.
12 Years a Slave is solid, but didn't stand out to me.
Gravity remains by far the most deserving to me. I'd be thrilled if it won. Nebraska's my #2 of all the real contenders (otherwise, it'd be Place Beyond the Pines)…though I have yet to see Saving Mr. Banks.
Don't understand the rush to get the nominations out. The Oscars were in April for DECADES. It's no big deal. Give the Academy Members time to see the movies.
Either that, or impose a deadline like December 1st for movies to be considered. The last minute deluge in December is just too overwhelming for many members to sort through them all to have their votes in by Early January.
So you're saying that the voters are people who don't watch movies unless they have to and now they have to binge-watch? That's f-ing pathetic.
I hope SAVING MR. BANKS gets the recognition it deserves. It has some of the funniest scenes I've seen all year and it's also very touching. Thankfully, it does lack embarrassingly voyeuristic shots like the ones we had to witness in other movies such as AMERICAN HUSTLE.
I would love to know what m.Paul Schrader opinion is on the BOOK THIEF's top 3 oscar nominating deserving performances in my book , in particular performance of that young talented SOPHIE NELISSEN. She did an out standing performance but in a film the critics opinion diverges completaly from the general viewers who mostly loved it. She is as good as any of the top five presently out there but, i know 90 % of the voters have seen her work because she is not known and the film was poorly publicized…i hope they all wake up be fore it is too late to vote!!!

A fotonovela, also known as novela or novelita, is a small pamphlet akin to comic-book format, with photographs instead of illustrations, combined with small dialogue bubbles. They typically depict a simple story enveloped in a dramatic plot that contains a moral.
The documented history of the fotonovela is varied, although it is known that the Hispanic/Latino fotonovela dates back to the early 1940s in correlation with the rise in popularity of film. Initially produced in Italy and Spain, Latin-American countries began manufacturing fotonovelas that featured original stories that were not based on cinema productions. However, during the 1940s, the fotonovela was used as a tactile, visual representation of a film.[1] Unlike the motion picture they represented, fotonovelas did not require special apparatuses to access its content, therefore, they usually enjoyed a longer life than a movie by being loaned, traded and resold throughout a community.[2] By the 1960s, approximately 23 movies were featured in fotonovela format but nearly three times as many fotonovelas with original content were circulating throughout Mexico, Central and South America.[1] Toward the later 1980s, Mexico was publishing approximately 70 million fotonovelas per month.[3] In recent decades fotonovela production has declined although several fotonovelas are reprinted and new fotonovelas are still in development.
The separation of movie and fotonovela led the genre into three distinct styles. The first, novelas rosas with dramatic themes centered on true love, marriage and family. The second, novela suave, usually depicted middle class life and its struggles. The third, and most frequently used style, are novelas verdes. Novelas verdes place a large emphasis on sex and violence and often illustrate pornographic material.[4] The popularity of the novelas verdes sparked a format change for the medium. Since readers wanted to enjoy the pornographic images of novelas verdes without reproach, producers began creating pocket-sized novelas verdes that could be concealed in a newspaper.
The fotonovela in health[edit]
The familiarity of fotonovelas in Spanish-language culture makes them an effective vehicle for health promotion and health education. Since the small pamphlets can be traded among individuals, they possess an element of portability that traditional materials lack. Frequently traded fotonovelas reach a wider audience than envisioned. Since the fotonovela concept is familiar to Hispanics and Latinos, regardless of age,[4] health educators have used the fotonovela to champion important health messages. By using the message design and content presentation format of the fotonovela for Spanish-speaking audiences, both health and non-health entities[5][6][7] have utilized the fotonovela as informational pamphlets. The fotonovelas produced by these organizations present information in a variety of illustrated forms but usually contain a summation of key points at the end.
The utility of the fotonovela in health education extends further than its familiarity in Hispanic culture. Health educators have also utilized the fotonovela because the medium overcomes issues of health literacy, which is the degree to which individuals can obtain, process and understand basic health information to make appropriate health decisions,[8] in their target audience. Most providers believe that health education materials designed specifically for patients with low health literacy would be helpful:[9] however, written educational materials found in most health settings have been deemed to have serious deficiencies.[10] Health literacy is not simply overcome through the printed translation of health educational messages, but instead, through the accurate transformation of important health information into culturally sensitive messages that the target population can comprehend. Although the fotonovela provides a competent route to the Hispanic population, the information within the fotonovela must be understandable to readers with low health literacy.

Fast, Easy Recipe For Roasted Chicken
Monday's Leftovers: Chicken With Onions and Garlic
As I mentioned before, my favorite way to buy chicken on a budget is to get it whole and cut it up into pieces, so I enjoy a taste of every part, from the wings to the drumsticks to the breasts and thighs.
Yesterday, I simmered the chicken in a cacciatore sauce of tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and herbs, and tonight I'm using another one to make a straightforward roast that can be shredded into salads, soups, and pastas, or simply enjoyed on its own.
For a roasted chicken recipe that you can count on again and again, keep reading. 1 whole roaster chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into 8 pieces Serves 4.
Chicken With Onions and Garlic
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 onions, quartered lengthwise
10 garlic cloves, peeled
6 sprigs thyme, plus more for garnish
1 whole roaster chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
Serves 4.

Morning Briefing: Region Watching Euro Zone for Direction
- Local/GMT
- 1145/1045 International Energy Agency event in Budapest
The week should end quietly in central Europe, although investors in regional markets will keep an eye on the euro zone and global markets following several days of volatility.
Equity markets and currencies specifically will be at the mercy of international sentiment Friday after investors Thursday took profits on rapid gains that followed the concerted efforts of six big central banks.
In Budapest, the International Energy Agency's senior economist Faith Birol will be guest at an event launching the agency's World Energy Outlook publication.
POLAND: Poland supports a swift change of European Union treaties that would improve fiscal discipline within the euro zone and lead to tighter integration of the bloc, Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a press conference Thursday.
POLAND: The Polish government is most likely to draft its budget for 2012 with the assumption that the economy will grow at the rate of 2.5%, Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a press conference Thursday.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Moody's Investors Service lowered its outlook on the Czech Republic's banking system to negative from stable, as the ratings firm said it expects the European Union's economy to slow down.
SLOVAKIA: Slovakian refiner Slovnaft a.s. (SLN.BS), owned by Hungarian peer MOL Nyrt (MOL.BU), is commencing a EUR300 million investment, building a production line to manufacture polyethylene, Slovnaft said Thursday.
HUNGARY: Hungary's talks with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union about precautionary financial aid may not start before January, a government official said Thursday. Earlier the government had indicated the talks, aimed at restoring investor confidence in the country's ability to meet its budget targets and pay off its debts, would start in December.

After a short Christmas/New Year break, Friday's Bay Post/Moruya Examiner once again included a letter from Neville Hughes.
In 2012 he had become quite adept at commencing his diatribes with an apparent diverse range of issues, but each time he would inevitably work around to his only real topic, a denial that climate change is being created and/or accelerated by humans.
The 2013 approach was to just jump right in, praising Germany because - according to him - they've built a new coal-fuelled power station and are in the process of building 23 more. Somehow this proves that there is no made-made effect on the climate.
Neville, do millions of Australians a favour and move to Cologne in Germany! You'll love it! Seriously Herr Hughes, you seem to have absorbed some education and, in letter form at least, you are somewhat articulate.
However, you're a "one trick pony"! Even worse, that "one trick" consists solely of you remaining completely intellectually fixated on one issue and braying like an ass about it via the Bay Post/Moruya Examiner.
Your position can be summed up as firstly denying the existence of climate change, secondly denying any human involvement in creating or accelerating climate change (should it actually exist) and finally, castigating any level of government that isn't politically to the right of Hitler for a) noticing that the climate is indeed changing quite rapidly and b) trying to do someting about it.
You've even gone as far implying that the NSW Government should legislate against climate change. That way, even if it exists, it will be illegal, and naturally will cease to exist (or go to jail)!
Can I suggest you travel to northern NSW or Tasmania, where they've just experienced record temperatures and are battling immense bushfires, to promote your views?
Why not head off to the places in Queensland that were ravaged by floods two years ago, or Florida in the USA, where Hurricane Katrina and the floods it caused killed around 2000 people, and tell the people there that the climate isn't changing?
The list of possible places is endless, why not a world tour. Take your time, at least 10 years, or just stick with the first option, move to Germany! Whatever and wherever you go, don't call us, we'll call you!

Elden Hughes, Sierra Club Hero and Champion for Desert Wilderness, Dies at 80
Sierra Club honorary Vice President Elden Hughes, a stalwart advocate for California's desert wild places, has died. He was 80.
As chair of the Sierra Club's California Desert Committee, Elden Hughes was one of the key architects of the 1994 California Desert Protection Act, and was for decades a leading voice in educating the public and decision-makers about the priceless resources in California's deserts. Along with scores of other activists, Elden traversed the desert identifying wild lands and wildlife deserving of protection, and told their story to the people with the power to preserve these lands.
Working first with Senator Alan Cranston and later with Senator Dianne Feinstein, Elden helped persuade them to champion the desert through visionary legislation. Once the California Desert Protection Act was introduced, Elden and his wife Patty visited Washington, D.C. repeatedly over many years, making the case for national parks and wilderness areas in places many that many people thought of as a wasteland.
Elden often brought baby desert tortoises along with him to Washington, beguiling congressional staff and opening doors to legislators who otherwise might have been unlikely to support the bill.
Within the Sierra Club, Elden's advocacy led the organization to declare passing the Desert Protection Act a national priority, and soon volunteers and staff in every state were urging their elected leaders to support the bill. Their work and that of other organizations culminated in 1994 passage of Senator Feinstein's legislation, which created the Mojave National Preserve, made Joshua Tree and Death Valley into national parks, and preserved scores of desert wilderness areas.
"Elden leaves a legacy that will outlast us all," said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune, "in the form of enduring conservation of this magnificent, diverse ecological region for future generations. He's a wonderful example of how much one determined person can accomplish if he's willing to work hard and share his vision with others."

BELMONT -- The puns have been exhausted about 15-year-old wildlife caller Greg Hubbell Jr.'s "true calling."
He was only 6 when his talent for emulating elk and waterfowl was discovered, and since then he's been featured everywhere from national television to National Public Radio. That makes him Carlmont High School's most famous student.
"People are over the weirdness state of it," he said. "I've been around the same people forever, and I kind of get respected for it now."
Greg won his 15th World Wildlife Calling Championship last month at the 2011 World Swan Calling Championships in North Carolina, making him the current world titleholder for five species. He's the only person to have held more than two.
Although some of the world's top wildlife callers and coaches have described him as a natural talent, the wins don't come without practice. On any given evening, passers-by might hear the grunt of a mature buck or the quack of a lonesome hen emanating from within his Belmont home.
Greg demonstrated his unique ability last week in his living room, tired from a full day of classes and baseball practice -- he also plays football, quarterbacking the junior varsity football team.
For duck and goose he uses a reed device, for elk and turkey a diaphragm and bugle, and for the swan his voice is his only instrument. A duck routine is a choreographed performance starting with a loud hail call, followed by a greeting call, frenetic feed call, comeback call, another greeting call, another feed call and a lonesome hen.
It isn't bird calling, and Greg takes offense when people call it that. What he does requires nuance. Sometimes in the morning, when Canada geese fly over their house, Greg will point out a "spit note," a particular sound they make, to his father, Greg Hubbell Sr.
Hubbell Sr. plays the role of full-time coach, manager and dad, taking him all over the country for competitions, pushing him to practice every night, and generally gloating about the success of his prodigious son.
"Hands down, he is the best water fowler in the country," Hubbell Sr. said.
The pair were slated to be in Reno this past weekend for the World Elk Calling Championship. Greg earns thousands of dollars a year in cash and prizes, has pro sponsors and could potentially do this for the rest of his life, but he has his mind set on playing professional baseball.
"I don't know if I want to make a career out of it," he said.
In the meantime, he's going to continue competing -- and in all likelihood, keep winning.
"We're going to set the bar so high nobody can get over it," Hubbell Sr. said.

Is Courting Congress the Stuff of Movies? Hillary Clinton Doesn't Think So
One of the legacies of Barack Obama's presidency is a certain indifference to the messy, time-sucking work of courting Congress. Mr. Obama knows he needs allies on Capitol Hill. Yet there's a limit to the personal investment he'll make persuading lawmakers to get behind the bills he wants passed.
One golf outing with GOP House Speaker John Boehner. OK. A second one? We're still waiting for that to happen.
It seems a truism that time spent getting to know one's adversaries pays off in politics – a people business if there ever was one. But the White House isn't so convinced that's the case. A popular view in White House circles is that the Republican opposition in Congress is so off-the-charts obstructionist that no amount of personal charm or persuasion coming from the Democratic president would change much of anything. So, if that's the case, why not play golf with your pals?

- White House to Accept Personal Facebook Notes to Obama
- Obama, Clinton to Converge on Martha's Vineyard
One who seems to disagree is a fellow Democrat and Obama administration alumnus who could become the 45th president: Hillary Clinton. What she says is that presidents can never give up coaxing lawmakers from the other side, citing her husband's efforts as an example. The late 1990s were a pretty partisan time. The GOP-controlled House impeached Bill Clinton, after all. And yet … "Bill never stopped reaching out to them," she said last month in Colorado.
One former White House aide doesn't buy Mrs. Clinton's argument. He says the Clinton White House failed to pass a health-care overhaul in the early 1990s – something Mr. Obama achieved in his first term with Democratic majorities in both houses.
"That's fine for her to say. And they had experience trying to work with them [Republicans] and going through impeachment and not getting health care done.
"I look at (Mr. Obama's) record and he wrung every bit of legislative achievement out that was possible – when he was in an environment to do it. He hasn't given up. But he's in an impossible situation …"
Presidential races often hinge on big, marquee issues: taxes and spending; war and peace. Those will be front-and-center in 2016. But Mrs. Clinton is signaling that if she does run, she may offer as a selling point her willingness to persevere with Congress in ways Mr. Obama was reluctant to do.
She invokes the Steven Spielberg movie "Lincoln" as an example of how a president must embrace the sausage-making aspect of the job to achieve worthy goals: In Lincoln's case, passage of the 13th Amendment.
"If you're going to get something done, you have to persuade …" she said at the Colorado event.
"Lincoln" ended happily, with Mr. Lincoln's arm-twisting culminating in the passage of the amendment ending slavery.

Could anything like that happen these days? The former White House aide offers up Camp David as an example. What would happen if Mr. Obama packed Mr. Boehner and all the other GOP leaders in a helicopter and flew them to Camp David for a marathon bargaining session aimed at resolving differences over immigration, health care and job creation?
It's the stuff of movies, isn't it? Maybe not.
"That would likely be the worst thing for the Republican leadership in the House and Senate with their caucus," the former aide said. "If they came out with an agreement, a lot of their caucus would be suspicious that they had gotten snookered and charmed by the president.
"So I know that it would make for a good movie, but it doesn't get legislation."

Geophysical Research Letters. 37:Article L10402. Interpretive Summary: Wind erosion causes land degradation, reduces air quality and causes damage to infrastructure. Predicting wind erosion requires a knowledge of the wind speed, and the wind speed necessary to detach particles from the soil surface, or 'threshold friction velocity' (TFV). The depends on both soil characteristics and distribution of vegetation or other obstructions.While several reliable methods can be used to characterize the spatial pattern of obstructions, there is currently no simple, accurate method for quantifying soil surface effects on TFV. This paper presents the results of tests of an air (BB) gun, pocket penetrometer, torvane, and roughness chain Results were compared with measurements made in a wind tunnel. Wind tunnel measurements are considered to be the most precise, but are impractical for most applications. The results show that TFVs were best predicted using the air gun and penetrometer measurements.
Technical Abstract: Nearly all wind erosion models require the specification of threshold friction velocity (TFV). Yet determining TFV of wind erosion in field conditions is difficult as it depends on both soil characteristics and distribution of vegetation or other roughness elements. While several reliable methods have been established for characterizing the spatial pattern characteristics of roughness elements, there is currently no simple, accurate method for quantifying soil surface effects on TFV. This study provides a physically-based, fast, and easy-to-apply method to estimate TFVs on both bare and protected surfaces. Wind tunnel experiments and a variety of ground measurements including air gun, pocket penetrometer, torvane, and roughness chain were conducted in Moab, Utah and cross-validated in the Mojave Desert, California. Patterns between TFV measured in wind tunnel and ground measurements were examined to identify the optimum method or combined methods for estimating TFV. The results show that TFVs were best predicted using the air gun and penetrometer measurements for crust-free or slightly crusted soils in Moab sites (R2=0.90, P<0.001). This empirical method, however, systematically underestimated TFVs in the Mojave Desert sites when compared to wind tunnel measurements. Further analysis showed that TFVs in the Mojave sites can be satisfactorily estimated with a correction of rock cover (R2=0.83, P<0.01), which is presumably the main cause of the underestimation of TFVs. The proposed method may be also applied to estimate TFVs in environments where other non-erodible elements such as woody debris and postharvest residuals are found.

Talking goes on, not progress
NEW YORK — Five hours of talks in two sessions between the NHL and the players association did little to move the sides closer to a deal to end the nearly one-month lockout.
The league's top two executives — commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy Bill Daly — met with the union's main negotiators — executive director Donald Fehr and special counsel Steve Fehr — on Wednesday morning to assess where the sides were in negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement. An afternoon session centered on player health and safety issues, and legal topics, not the economic issues at the lockout's core. The sides will meet again today, which should have been opening day of the season. The league canceled games through Oct. 24 last week. Daly estimated the NHL has lost $240 million to $250 million from the cancellation of the preseason and regular-season games.
HALL TO EUROPE: Lightning right wing Adam Hall signed with Ravensburg in Germany and expects to report Friday. He will return to Tampa when the lockout is resolved.

Novak Djokovic also advanced, beating Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 6-2. Two-time defending champion Andy Murray received a walkover after the withdrawal of Florian Mayer because of a rib injury.

Kobe Bryant was a late scratch from Wednesday's exhibition game against the Trail Blazers with a right shoulder strain. … Seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady said he will play in China and posted a goodbye letter of thanks to the NBA on his blog.

Prosecutors say a Grand Junction man lied to his girlfriend about having HIV and infected her and her son.
Now 33–year–old Shad Skov is behind bars charged with two counts of child abuse after investigators say the child nearly died.
Prosecutors tell 11 News this is a landmark case, the first of its kind in Mesa County but they are still researching case law in other parts of Colorado.
33–year–old Shad Skov's arms once held a little baby boy but they were in handcuffs Tuesday morning when he faced a judge on child abuse charges.
His attorney waived a reading of the charges but court documents obtained by 11 News reveal the allegations.
According to the arrest affidavit, Skov and his girlfriend Marcie Dinelli met in 2006. A year later she got pregnant and had a baby boy named Liam. When the baby got sick and wasn't gaining weight doctors were puzzled.
According to the documents at five months Liam got pneumonia and was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, had complications and was airlifted to a Denver children's hospital and nearly died.
Deputy District Attorney Tammy Eret says doctors asked Skov if he was HIV positive and continued to lie about his disease.
"It was denied so the treatment took a different route that jeopardized the child's safety," Eret told 11 News on Tuesday.
She says doctors tested mom and baby and found they were both HIV positive. Dinelli's father called the sheriff's office.
"If you have HIV and you refuse to tell people and you pass the disease on and somebody suffers consequences from it you should be held accountable," said Eret.
Medical experts say if doctors would have known Dinelli had HIV during the pregnancy, the baby would have had a 99% chance to stay disease free.
Marcie Dinelli told prosecutors she does not want to press charges in her case. In court on Tuesday, she asked the judge to drop the restraining order so she could see her boyfriend.
"I don't feel like I'm in harms way of anything. I do have his child at home and he's been a part of his child's life," Dinelli told the judge during the hearing.
The judge ruled in her favor but Dinelli will have to see Shad Skov in jail until he posts bond.
So for now his hands are cuffed and a restraining order will keep him from holding his baby boy until the case is decided.
According to the arrest affidavit, Skov told investigatores he knew he was HIV positive for ten to 14 years.
Investigators say they contacted two of his former lovers and both women tested negative for HIV.
Prosecutors say it's possible other women may come forward in the investigation.
Skov's next court appearance is scheduled for January 29th.

BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — New Brockton Mayor Bill Carpenter promised to make city government more open, but that apparently doesn't apply to City Hall bathrooms.
A spokesman for Carpenter told The Enterprise (http://bit.ly/1djXNrS ) on Thursday that the bathrooms will remain locked during the day under the new administration.
The bathrooms were locked last year after a handful of incidents over the summer where men were discovered shaving or attending to other personal grooming needs in the ladies' room.
Visitors to City Hall now have to get a key from the mayor's office by leaving photo identification or another form of collateral.
The bathrooms are unlocked during the evenings for people attending public meetings.

With Radamel Falcao being linked with a move to Manchester City or Chelsea in a £45 million switch, Cavani - who has scored 80 goals for Napoli since joining from Palermo in 2010 - has been earmarked as a possible replacement for the Colombian forward should Atletico sell.
"If Atletico Madrid want to pay his 62 million euro release fee then they can have their say, but there has been no contact and we don't know if they want to buy him," said Pierpaolo Triulzi, the player's agent.
"We don't know what will happen in the future, but the player is very happy where he finds himself right now.
"There have been a lot of offers for him in the past, but Napoli didn't want to let him go and got him to sign a contract extension instead."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Shane Victorino might not be feeling his best, but he was feeling good enough Tuesday to back back in the lineup -- a remarkable turn of events given the violence with which he crashed into the fence on Sunday at Fenway Park.
Victorino was examined at Massachusetts General Hospital after he was removed from the game and given a clean bill of health.
"I was trying to make an aggressive play," he said. "Sometimes it happens. You wish for the best to hopefully nobody gets hurt seriously when you try to be aggressive and make a play."
"It looked ugly at the time," Boston manager John Farrell said. "But every image, every test that we put him through, he's 100 percent -- given where he's at."

Looks like I'll have to update the page again - it looks a bit confused :-( Seriously, you're quite correct; there's an important difference. > What is the meaning of "*is* and *sa* are borrowed from Brithenig"? "Is" = "he", or "it" for masculine nouns. "Sa" = "she", or "it" for feminine nouns.

Good question! What actually happened was that Geoff couldn't come up with any better pronouns of his own. What happened *there*, I'm not sure, although it might have involved the Brithenig pronouns sounding more attractive to Breathanach speakers (I think they'd be called Breathaine) than their own. I haven't yet decided. Oh - it should really be "foil", unless you have "la" in front of it. Which brings up another interesting question - if you're quoting an initially-mutated word outside of its mutating context, should you retain the mutation? Just a thought.

Cronulla Sharks board sack coach and staffers following review of ASADA doping allegations
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 09, 2013
THERE was blood in the water at Cronulla Friday night as the Sharks board turned upon its own, sacking four football staffers and standing down coach Shane Flanagan on the most dramatic day in the club's 46-year history.
The extraordinary exodus came as a result of an independent review, which discovered "serious management failures" over a three-month period in 2011 when controversial sports scientist Stephen Dank worked at the club.
That period is also the focus of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority's investigation, which left 14 players contemplating offers to accept six-month bans amid concerns they inadvertently took banned peptides.
Player revolt: Sharks want coach back
But while all players will be available for tomorrow night's season opener against Gold Coast, the same can't be said for the majority of their bosses, who were savagely cut within a matter of hours yesterday.
After meeting with ASADA officials for two hours in the morning, coach Flanagan was stunned to learn he would now be stood down pending a secondary review to be conducted by business advisory firm Grant Thornton.
That review could also lead to heads rolling from the club's board, with deputy chairman Keith Ward last night admitting directors would accept whatever recommendations are tabled.
However, there will be no second chances for football manager Darren Mooney, doctor David Givney, physio Konrad Schultz and trainer Mark Noakes.
The coach: Flanagan stunned at being stood down
All were sacked yesterday, with ASADA's former deputy chair Dr Tricia Kavanagh revealing that they failed to adequately communicate information to the board during the period that covered Dank's tenure at the club between March and May 2011.
Kavanagh also confirmed that players were advised to not remain in contact with Dank after he was dismissed from the club.
With the players still considering their options last night, Kavanagh pledged that a full strength team would take the field under interim coach Peter Sharp tomorrow night.
But neither she nor Ward could guarantee the make-up of the side in weeks to come.
Ricky Stuart: No pleasure in Sharks' sorry state
The Rugby League Players Association yesterday hired an independent barrister, Andrew Coleman SC, to assist and a final decision on whether they will accept the six-month bans is not expected until next week.
Ward revealed the Sharks had consulted with the NRL before tabling written offers to the players on Tuesday, which include incentives of full pay, an automatic one-year contract extension and the payment of representative bonuses earned in 2012.
"If players want to put their hands up and do a deal with ASADA there's a question of whether we should be supportive of those players," Ward said. "We wanted to do our best to make sure the players could make that decision without those pressures. We've given them a commitment that we would meet their basic contractual arrangements."
NRL anger: AFL deal to avoid sanctions
The 30-minute press conference unfolded on the first floor of Sharkies Leagues Club, with stunned patrons watching it unfold live on big screen televisions in the bistro below.
At the back of the room stood shattered Sharks employees, whose very future is now as uncertain as the club they love.
Serious questions now hang over the club's survival, given it still carries a $3.5 million debt to St George Bank and has little chance of securing further corporate support until the scandal abates.
"Before this we were having our best year that we've ever had," Ward said.
"To have this happen is devastating. I'm devastated."
Ward said the club would also be liable for payouts to sacked staff, while Flanagan will continue to be remunerated while he's stood down.
Unable to afford the collapse of a club thanks to its new TV deal that guarantees eight games a week, the NRL has provided crucial financial support. It's highly unlikely the Sharks would still be afloat but for their lifeline.

I do not know about what other people did at the Sharks club, but from all account the club doctor who has been there for more than 20 years. This doctor raise concerns about Dank's doping/supplements methods and made recommendation that led to Dank termination- WHY dismiss the doctor? The Sharks have not won a title for 46 years... This may be the final straw that the Sharks should consider a relocation or joint venture for their financial survival.

The tools for analytical resolution of enantiomers have evolved in recent years with advances in chromatographic techniques. As in any analytical method, the separation of enantiomeric pairs should achieve a rapid and complete resolution of the two chromatographic peaks and must also be reproducible and robust. Ideally it should also separate sample impurities, reach a low LOD/LOQ (limit of detection/limit of quantification) and show an appropriate elution order. Moreover, the ideal chromatographic conditions should ensure the stability of the sample during the analysis in addition to the compatibility of the sample medium with the mobile phase and the column.
Such a list of conditions for the resolution of challenging samples requires decisions concerning both the chiral stationary phases and the chromatographic modes employed. Our goal to find the best chromatographic method must be tempered with the use of a minimum number of chiral stationary phases (CSPs), thus, an efficient screening strategy is essential.
The starting point is to decide which technology is to be used with a specific type of selector. Both liquid chromatography (LC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) are powerful tools that have been used successfully. The decision, therefore, is typically based upon equipment availability and suitability for the scale and type of molecule. Although SFC lacked sensitivity in its early development, recent advances have resulted in the efficient use of SFC with mass spectrometry (MS) detectors.
In LC method development, one may use organic solvent mixtures or water-compatible mobile phases. Normal-phase applications have historically been more widely used for the separation of enantiomers. However, the reversed-phase separations, together with polar organic modes, should be seriously considered when samples are in aqueous media to exploit the LC–MS compatibility of these mobile phase systems.
The present article aims to cover the practical approaches applied in our laboratories to screen analytical samples. Based upon extensive experimental work, we will focus on the results achieved with a range of 3- and 5-μm silica-based phases, containing amylose and cellulose derivatives as chiral selectors in a coated or immobilized fashion. Strategies for efficient HPLC method development with these CSPs in normal phase, polar mode and reversed phase conditions, as well as SFC, will be addressed. The different modes will be reviewed with the preferred primary screening, as well as the potential alternatives for higher peak efficiency (switch to smaller particles), fast analysis and unique selectivities with new selectors.

Not knowing the future as a driver in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series is weighed not on their driving talent, but the ability to retain a sponsor.
Sponsorship dollars in the Cup series is not a cheap investment.
The average cost for a full-time sponsor for one season is $30-$35 million.Team owners seldom have one primary sponsor for a year. The Cup teams will divide the season into pieces according to the dollar amounts each sponsor contributes for that season.
Only three teams in this year's Cup Series has one full-time sponsor - Juan Montoya (Target), Brad Keselowski (Miller) and Paul Menard (Menards). Other teams field at least two to five sponsors to maintain a competitive car on the track.
Team owners span the business globe in search of funds to keep their operation going each year. Some sponsors are relevant to competition areas and others may come from foundations or groups wanting their name in the spotlight.
Whatever the case, team owners will place their logo or name on the quarterpanel or hood of their car.
NASCAR officials need to consider the lack of sponsorship for many teams in today's racing generation. Some compete to earn a paycheck and others are running for a championship. It might be the best decision for NASCAR to cut the field to help the smaller teams to become more competitive.
The race cars simply make left turns with no element of excitement. Safety concerns are primary, but today's type of racing is not proving to be worth the buck of admission.
Race fans are finding it difficult to pay the expensive price of admission to the races for 15-20 minutes of excitement on the track.
Officials need to find new ways of increasing the excitement without endangering the driver or race fan.
Drivers and teams must be shown that altering a car or stretching the rules by the governing body will not be tolerated. One reason why officials will not extend the penalties to the car is due to sponsorship funds.
Sponsorship funds rule the way a driver competes, reacts and ultimately keeps his job.
My final thought on NASCAR sponsorship is that money rules the way of the world, but should not ruin the excitement on the race track.

On January 17, 1946 a psychiatrist named Walter J. Freeman launched a radical new era in the treatment of mental illness in this country. On that day he performed the first-ever transorbital or "ice pick" lobotomy in his Washington, D.C. office. His patient was a severely depressed housewife named Sallie Ellen Ionesco.
After rendering her unconscious through electroshock, Freeman inserted an ice pick above her eyeball, banged it through her eye socket into her brain, and then made cuts in her frontal lobes. When he was done, he sent her home in a taxi cab.
Freeman was convinced he'd found the answer to Sallie Ellen Ionesco's depression. He believed that mental illness was related to overactive emotions, and that by cutting the brain he could cut away those feelings.

Recognizing those who achieve exceptional rehabilitation results through the use of advanced water therapy.
Congratulations to this year's Excellence in Aquatics Award Winner: Coastal Carolina's Barry Lippman, MS, ATC, NASM-PES
Sports fans everywhere love a good comeback story. The spirit of the game is watching an athlete triumph after recovering from a devastating injury just months before. Behind these great rehab stories are the athletic trainers and medical staff who also sacrificed to ensure this athlete or team (in many cases) would reach their goals.
The 2014 Excellence in Aquatics Award recognizes these professionals who, despite all odds, garnered superior rehabilitation results through innovative, and sometimes unconventional, methods. These pioneers relied on aquatics as a medium to help achieve exceptional results. This year's nominees, displayed creativity, expertise and courage when it came to rehabilitating their athletes-- and it paid off.
Read the nominees below and vote today! You can vote once a day until June 18th to support your top pick. The winner of the 2014 Excellence in Aquatics Award will be announced in the HydroWorx Booth, #1131, at the National Athletic Trainers Association's 65th Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposium in Indianapolis, IN on Friday, June 27, 2014 at 11:30am. Spread the word on twitter and facebook with #ExcellenceInAquatics.
AND THE NOMINEES (in alphabetical order) ARE…..
This second baseman arrived at Coastal Carolina in August of 2012 as a transfer with severe atrophy and weakness in his right shoulder. Due to the concern of further damaging the shoulder through off season lifting, Barry Lippman, Associate Athletic Trainer and Rehab Coordinator and team decided to utilize aquatic therapy for the athlete's off season strengthening program.
After a successful progression of therapeutic exercise (in offseason and preseason) the athlete was able to participate in the entire spring 2013 baseball season. The athlete was able to increase his strength safely in the pool enough to complete an accomplished 2013 baseball season.
After the end of the 2013 season the athlete underwent surgery and thankfully had a great base of strength due to the aquatic therapy sessions throughout preseason and the regular season. The surgery was to repair a 1cm by 1cm thick rotator cuff tear, as well as a decompression release of the suprascapular nerve supplying the rotator cuff (which is rarely seen in athletics).
Although the athlete was limited in what he was cleared to do, Lippman was able to work around the limitations using the aquatic therapy pool with the surgeon's approval. Lippman had the athlete begin underwater therapy at about two weeks post-op. He began running on the underwater treadmill in the HydroWorx at five weeks post-op and progressed to sprinting against the jets over a three week period. The ability to run in a reduced gravity environment offered a way to implement sprint work roughly four weeks sooner than expected!
Overall, the athlete's recovery was rapid and he was able to initiate a hitting progression program starting at about 10 weeks post-op and a throwing program starting at 12 weeks post-op. He had also fully returned to play, participating in off season practices and workouts.
At the time of physician's final follow up, (approximately 6 months post op.) his rotator cuff strength was equal bilaterally (5/5) in all manual muscle tests. He was able to demonstrate full strength of the rotator cuff. Today, the athlete continues to have success on the baseball field with minimal shoulder soreness, while continuing therapy pool workouts once or twice a week in order to maintain throwing strength.
for the Achilles Rehabilitation of Vancouver Whitecap, Jay DeMerit
Six minutes into the first game of the season, Jay DeMerit, defender for the Vancouver Whitecaps, fully ruptured his Achilles and the rumors started that his season, and potentially his career, were over. Jay remained positive and goal-focused throughout rehab, and never doubted that he would play professional soccer again. He underwent surgery to reattach the tendon and began therapy sessions in the HydroWorx 2000 Series pool at Fortius Sport and Health in Burnaby, British Columbia approximately eight weeks after surgery.
DeMerit's aquatic rehabilitation initially included dynamic movements such as squats, lunges, single leg squatting exercises and heel raises. Additionally he began walking against the jet resistance in order to observe his push off and plantar flexion of the injured side, as well as increase the cardiovascular intensity. As the rehab progressed, other movements included high knees, agility/lateral based movements, initiation of jumping and reaction based movements.
At nine weeks post-op, Jay began jogging pain-free in the pool, progressing up to 4.5 mph with the water at chest height. Just over two months after his injury, Jay was running in 5-10 minute intervals at 6.0 mph + 40% resistance and completing heel raises in between runs. Towards the end of week 11, Jay was running in the pool at the height of the xyphoid process, and completing pyramid runs up to 8.0 mph + 60% resistance. At 13 weeks post-op, Jay began running on land with the Whitecaps medical staff. On July 18th, less than five months post-op, Jay had his last session in the HydroWorx and returned to full training with his team.
On September 14th, he came onto the field to mark his return to professional soccer just six months after Achilles reconstruction surgery. He played the final six games of the 2013 season and helped backstop the Whitecaps during their playoff push without any signs of a lost step or being out for almost an entire season.
Seton Hall University's Tony Testa, Med, ATC, CSCS
for the Return to Improved Play of a Baseball and Softball Player
Seton Hall University had both a baseball and softball player who had experienced oddly identical chronic pain in the hamstring and knee, respectively, throughout their entire 2013 seasons.
The baseball player was initially one of the faster athletes on the team but had experienced significant decline throughout his 2013 season. Following the spring baseball season he was examined under the ultrasound, and the results were abnormal, calling for further treatment.
The softball player initially sought treatment from her primary care physician and had an MRI following her spring season. The MRI revealed no significant joint injury and she was prescribed six weeks of physical therapy. After those six weeks, her physician scheduled her for an orthoscopic knee surgery in early September 2013. However, Tony and his team evaluated the athlete before the surgery and found that was not the best option for her.
Both athletes, as a result of abnormal ultrasounds, underwent a FAST (Focused Aspiration of Scar Tissue) procedure, which involves a 1 mm incision to remove damaged and broken scar tissue.
They both began rehabilitation in the HydroWorx just two days post-op with bio-occlusive dressings. Testa began hydrotherapy by slowly increasing range of motion and progressed them to full range of motion exercises including hip and knee abduction and adduction and knee flexion and extension. By week three, he worked on their range of motion with form running exercises and jogging in the pool. By week four, the athletes were running full speed in the pool. Each athlete rehabbed in the pool 5-6 days per week for 4 weeks straight with no additional land training.
The baseball player had one day of form running on land following the four week aquatic rehabilitation and then had to perform a 60 meter dash test for baseball. He performed this test with no land based training or strength training and he had the best time of his career! The softball player also tested with her fastest time ever. After 4 weeks of aquatic therapy (and no real land training), she performed the best agility test of her career. Both continue to play pain-free.
