Qa Is Not Qc
I need to get something straight: QA and QC are different.
Why must I point this out? Because programmers don't seem to get it and use these terms interchangeably.
QA is Quality Assurance
QC is Quality Control
The difference is that QA is
oriented and QC is
therefore is product oriented and thus is in the QC domain. Testing for quality isn't
quality, it's
makes sure you are doing the right things, the right way.
makes sure the results of what you've done are what you expected.
Why all the fuss?
There are lots of reasons to ensure the distinction between the two. Easily, the ones that come to mind are:
You'll need to know the difference for CMM or ISO-9000
You don't want to prove you don't do QA by calling the QC testing you do 'QA'
If you really want to scale your development process you'll need the real
and you won't want to confuse it with
Write here if you have any comments, counters, or general suggestions.
written by:
Please assure me that our QA team knows the right things and the right way. I'm not even convinced they know up from down. And how did they find out the right things and the right way for software engineering, when even
is still trying to figure it out? --
The QA team's job is to see that standards, processes, and policies (or other governing/guiding "writ") are in place and carried out; to recommend and implement improvements to them, and to ensure that the people that need to know about them know about them. QA "audits" or "reviews" are intended to determine the efficacy of these "writs."
It's often easier to understand QA by an example: In one place (a large company with large projects) I've seen QA's role to help project managers plan their projects -- so that the projects follow certain organizational procedures; so that they include the required artifacts, events, and milestones; and so that the projects know what is expected of them and when in terms of reports, reviews, and documentation. As the project progressed, QA would conduct "checkpoints" along the way to see where the project may be developing risks, for example either by progressing beyond where they've got authorization to go, or where they may have need to escalate issues to management. These checkpoints would also be an opportunity to ensure that people who need to be involved are involved at the right times. This approach to QA isn't one that really suits XP, but there are easily ways to adapt such an approach to XP.
Maybe mixups like this are happening because ambiguous terms have been given specific meanings (see:
Why would "assurance" mean process-related and "control" mean product-related?
Because "assurance" means that you know you did everything needed to make something that works right, while "control" means that you have no idea whether any or all of your batch o'junk is worth anything until you examine each item. "Just in time" production requires that you are assured your supplier is supplying you with exactly what you need as you need it so you don't have to stop to test each incoming item for defects. See
or DemingMethod
. (I plan to eventually write a book about how this revolution in manufacturing could be applied to software.) In the case of software, QA means that you know that the code you are making fulfills the requirements, QC is discovering that your process of writing code was not adequate to assure that you didn't create a lot of bugs along with your features. --
One way to avoid confusion is to use more descriptive names: "Product-QA" and "Process-QA".
I have always found the term "Quality Assurance" a curious choice. Why would we want to be assured about quality (made to feel better about it) rather than have quality ensured (guaranteed)?
Assuring quality is about confidence. It's about the *processes* by which we go about doing what we do. Part of that is knowing that we're doing the right things at the right time, and part of it is that we are doing them the right way. This all should be done or known
we start working, not afterwards.
, we have not defined these terms. They've been defined for us. While it may be 'more right' to redefine them so they're no longer 'degeneralized,' we ought to at least try to ensure everyone has their terms straight when using them.
We may also look at the other areas in which these terms are used. 'Control' is often a term used with statistics, and processes that can be "controlled" with applying the analysis of the statistics. 'Control' is also an active term and has a certain circumstantial connotation. The need to test ("control") is a function of the circumstance of the existence of bugs or lack of confidence. Whereas 'assurance' is a passive term with a more universal connotation. The need to "assure" is a function of building confidence regardless of the existence of bugs and isn't just about bugs, but of the entire effort.
The difference between QA and QC is largely one of power and control. QC is usually as service provided to development (i.e. under the control of development) and is responsible for providing that service. QA expects development to provide services to it (control development) and is not responsible for any result.
The above statement is a symptom of one of the biggest problems in the entire software industry. People don't know what "QA" is supposed to do (as defined in this page). As a result many that do QA, do it wrongly, and many that work with those doing QA incorrectly wind up hating QA because of the lousy experience they had with it.
QA, when done effectively in a project, should not even cross paths with developers except perhaps at the highest levels of management. Or to teach new developers the organizational processes, or teach existing developers about changes to existing organizational processes. And then later QA may interact with development to figure out whether the processes work and what needs to happen to make sure they work better. QA should not be causing developers to do any more work than they need to be doing to develop the work. In fact, most of QA's role should occur with project managers and leaders of other disciplines such as SCM, and QC. (In XP, the idea of SCM or a CCB, or CCA, or a QC "group" doesn't apply in the same way, but there's still a QA role that can be incorporated.)
Another unfortunate characteristic of poorly executed QA is that often in organizations that don't know the first thing about QA the people assigned to QA are rejects from other skills which simply compounds the problem. Again, I'm talking about QA as described here... not QC.
QA ... should not even cross paths with development.
Anyone care to explain this one? What is the purpose of QA if it does not deal with development? I'm afraid "QA as described here" leaves a lot to the imagination.
An edit was made to the paragraph above that may clarify the intent. QA's job is not to inspect code or run tests or test programmers' know-how. If QA is "process" centric, QA shouldn't fit in with the work developers are doing. QA folks should be "process" folks not "product" folks. As such, QA's job should happen before and in the aftermath of product development, and less to do during development. The purpose of this page is to separate QA from the concept of "testing." A discussion of what QA (
) really is seems to be brewing. Which is something this page is not a good place for. Without proper definition, QA rightly so "leaves a lot to the imagination."
So, define it already. It is not enough to say
, you need to also say what QA is. Also, is there really some deep distinction between the two, or is this just some nit-picking intended to preserve a QA role when none is needed?
I have to agree with the prior comment that the terms are very confusing. Even though they are commonly used, I think we'd be much better off if they were not. Part of the problem is that these terms were taken from manufacturing paradigms. QA dealt with manufacturing processes, while QC inspected the manufacturing output to verify that it was acceptable. In the manufacturing environment you analyze, design, and implement once and then crank out many essentially identical products. This is very different from the software environment where the analysis, design, and implementation happen on each product, and then you start over for the next iteration.
In a software environment, "Quality Assurance" does not assure quality. Rather, they assure that a process is being followed, which is very different. The process, if it's a good process, will increase the probability that there is a quality result. It will, presumably, make sure that requirements are communicated, traced, planned for, scheduled, etc. The "Quality Assurance" role will likely also collect metrics that it can then use for process improvement. However, this group could do its job and still have the organization's product be low-quality. Therefore this function would be better termed "Process Management."
Similarly, "Quality Control" does not control quality. Rather they measure quality, by verifying that what was implemented matches the requirements. Certainly there's a feedback loop, as any defects will be reported and presumably fixed, thus increasing quality. But this group doesn't really control anything. It would thus be better termed "Requirements Verification," although I find the term "Product Test" more concise.
Calling these functions Process Management and Product Test removes any ambiguity or confusion. And calling them by these names does not impact your ability to get ISO 9000 certification or achieve a CMM level. Those require certain things to be done or documented, and require certain functions to be executed by the organization, but absolutely do not require specific organizational names.

It took me a couple seconds to even figure out which way they went, then I saw all three clear at the end of our street by the train tracks. OF COURSE there would be a train at this time, with a whole line of cars backed up waiting, and watching me! I yell & call for the dogs- Gucci & Jake are pretty good and come quickly- running to the house. Dobie is a totally different story. Won't come & I can see him marking everything in sight. His diaper is going to be gross, I think! I feel really embarrassed yelling, chasing, coaxing Dobie back home. He acts like he is coming and then goes the other way, then across the street, finally I get him home- and see his diaper is missing. Oh man! Those things aren't cheap! I make sure all the dogs are inside, check on the kids, and then head back out to look for my dog's diaper! Thankfully the train has passed and the cars are mostly gone. I am really hoping no one is on their lawn or looking out their windows at me! I do a quick review of the yards, sidewalks, street... no diaper. I head back in the house to make sure he even had it on when he got out. Sure enough- diaper is on the couch downstairs. Sigh of relief.
Well, at least I got my exercise in for the day. Also- I did notice that my lilac bushes have BUDS!!! This really put me in a great mood! I am not even mad at the dogs anymore!

MHIC Consumer Protection Investigation Leads to Jail Time for Asia Broadway, III
CUMBERLAND, MD (June 29, 2011) - Asia Broadway, III was sentenced today in Allegany County following a guilty plea to various charges that stemmed from an investigation by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) - a commission of the Maryland Department of Labor (DLLR). Kevin Niebuhn led the investigation for MHIC and testified before the grand jury that eventually brought forth formal charges. Broadway was sentenced to 12 years at the Department of Corrections, with 4 years suspended, and with 3 years of supervised probation upon release, and was ordered to pay restitution.
"The Maryland Department of Labor stands up for consumers," said Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. "I applaud Kevin Niebuhn and the Maryland Home Improvement Commission for their work on this case and hope the consequences deter those who would attempt to scam Maryland's consumers."
Mr. Broadway is a serious threat to homeowners because he took deposits and did little or no work, including at the homes of elderly persons, said Maryland Occupational and Professional Licensing Commission Stanley Botts. We are pleased that the Office of the States Attorney and the court took these criminal charges seriously and has put Mr. Broadway out of business for a long time.
Broadway is currently incarcerated in Montgomery County for a violation of probation resulting from a home improvement case. Broadway faces additional charges of violating probation in Allegany County and acting as a contractor without a license, failure to perform a contract and theft in Carroll County.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

The economy ended 2012 with 155,000 more jobs last month and a 7.8% unemployment rate.
Ahead of today's Labor Department report, many economists had forecast the economy added 150,000 to 160,000 jobs overall in December. But job market data released Thursday raised the prospect of a positive surprise.
Payroll processor ADP on Thursday said its monthly survey found private employers added 215,000 jobs last month, far more than expected. And outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said announced job cuts in December fell 43% from November to the second-lowest monthly total of the year.

pointed out they're often distorted by year-end holidays. The four-week

counting December, U.S. job gains have averaged fewer than 155,000 a
month the past two years. Economists say the number should be twice that

unemployment rate did fall the past year - from 8.5% in December 2011 -
but some of that improvement has come from people leaving the labor

workers stop looking for jobs, they're no longer counted as unemployed.
the recession's official end, the number of Americans 16 and over who

Submitted by [email protected].. on

It was a typical Saturday morning in Brooklyn. I was showering when my kids began knocking on the bathroom door, explaining that a pet adoption van was parked outside our building and "could we just go look? Pleeeeze?"
It had been a tough year. My nine-year-old daughter, Kate, was diagnosed with a chronic disease. As a family, we were still adjusting to Kate's condition, and she was feeling pretty terrible, not to mention depressed, from her ailments. Her eyes lit up when I said, yes, we could "just look."
Among the various adorable dogs and puppies was one grungy, older Chihuahua mix who had instantly bonded with Kate. They were face-to-face the entire time, and my kids pleaded and begged collectively to bring her home. A half-hour later she was ours, and we named her Hayley.
We learned that Hayley had been abused. She literally screamed in horror anytime any one of us picked up our hand to wave or scratch our heads. She also had a deep scar on the top of her head and a few ticks. Her fur needed serious grooming, and she was not housebroken.
We gave her a bath and a good meal and then, immediately after, Kate took charge of Hayley's issues. When she screeched, Kate comforted her. When she had an accident, Kate walked her to show her the proper potty place. When she just seemed nervous, Kate reassured her, "It's OK, Hayley," and followed up with multiple hugs and kisses.
While Hayley surely benefitted from Katelyn's love, I learned firsthand that there is perhaps nothing better than taking care of a dog and giving and receiving the unconditional love only a pup can bring to sick child (or adult). There was no better remedy for Kate than to care for this abused little dog. Seven years later, they have helped each other very much to heal. Hayley no longer is afraid of us or anyone else. Kate just turned 16, and she and Hayley are closer than words could convey. It's been said that we save dogs when we adopt them, but I think we often forget how many dogs actually save us.

Travel + Leisure's snobbiest cities

3. Boston
4. Minneapolis/St. Paul
5. (Tie) Santa Fe, N.M.
7. Chicago
8. Providence, R.I.
9. Washington, D.C.
10. Charleston
Travel + Leisure magazine
Good at looking down its nose on other cities? Check, apparently.
Charleston has recently developed a knack for earning travel-related accolades, but the city's newest title is a more dubious distinction.
The June issue of Travel + Leisure magazine has ranked Charleston No. 10 on its list of the snobbiest cities in the country. The list includes such powerhouses as New York and Boston, and the snobbiest city in the U.S., San Francisco.
"The normal understanding and definition of that word does not fit Charleston," said Mayor Joe Riley Monday. "Charleston is the most gracious and least snobby city I've ever been in."
The article determined "which city has the biggest nose in the air" by factoring in things like "smarty-pants residents, high-end shopping and cultural offerings, along with tech-savviness and eco-consciousness."
Just three years ago, the very same magazine named Charleston the friendliest city in the nation.
The brief section on Charleston described quaint Southern traditions blending with a modern foodie scene, and mentioned Slightly North of Broad by name. The restaurant colloquially goes by SNOB.
"Charleston has every right to be snobby, but I really don't think it is," said Peter Pierce, general manager of the restaurant.
Pierce said Charleston is unique because of the range of interesting factors the city possesses.
"World-renowned food, ocean, beaches, history. It all comes together here," he said.
Perrin Lawson, deputy director of the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said he was unsure of what exact criteria made Charleston a snobby city.
"I know we have a restaurant called SNOB, but other than that, I don't know much about it," he said.
Lawson said a lot of things go into these articles, and he and his bureau try to focus more on things that will affect travel and tourism in the area.
In 2012 Charleston was chosen by Conde Nast as the top tourist destination in the world, beating out such cities as Cape Town, South Africa, and Florence, Italy.
The Holy City was chosen because of its "overall ambiance, culture and sites, friendliness, lodging, restaurants and shopping." These qualities ran through Riley's mind as he heard the news of Charleston's supposed snobbery, and he said it gave him a chuckle.
"What will they think of next?"

For me it is today, more so than tomorrow, that is the most exciting day of the year.
Fueled by memories of over 59 deer seasons past, my anticipation of the season is as strong as it ever was. Even remembering how many things have changed over the years does not dampen my enthusiasm for the hunt. Perhaps tomorrow I will finally bag the buck of my dreams.
This year the anticipation is as sweet as ever; the traditions of the past will again happen. My gang will go to church but as soon as the last Amen is said, we will get on the road to hunting camp, stop along the way to eat dinner, conversing with fellow orange-coated hunters who have stopped at the same restaurant.
Anticipation is a collective thing; it must be shared to be truly experienced. Tomorrow morning we will meet for breakfast somewhere, about 4 a.m. We won't be telling any other hunters exactly where we are going. When we get to our stand, we don't want any company.
Getting to one's deer stand is a private and exquisite moment. We park the vehicle, don our outer gear, sling the rifle over our back and start the quiet trek in the dark to our stand. Years ago, my stand was 3 1/2 miles from the gamelands gate so I had to start early to get there before daylight. The most important component of arriving at your stand opening morning long before daylight is to stake out that territory as "yours." And to let things - mostly your own heartbeat and breathing - quiet before the sun comes up.
No one but another deer hunter doing the same thing understands the emotions and anticipation that overtakes a hunter waiting quietly, impatiently and alone for daylight to break. It seems to take forever but somehow the silhouettes of deer sneaking by us in the woods at first light is sweeter then than at any other time during the season. This is simply what it is all about.
I love the preparations for going to deer camp. Dragging out all the long underwear, sweatshirts and hunting coat, the orange hat, the rifle and shells and giving it a final going-over. Shopping for and packing up your share of the food for camp as well as cooking some of it to take along. Wondering if the smell of gun oil is as noxious to deer as human scent. Figuring it probably is and wondering what to do about it.
Getting on the highway, finally heading toward your destination. Wondering why hunters criss-cross the state to hunt. Why do we travel to their area and they come to ours? It's unexplainable. Greeting other hunters as they arrive at camp, exchanging stories from past hunts, laughing at goof-ups and misses from seasons past. Sitting by the fireplace or woodstove, drinking coffee and eating vegetable soup. Staying up later than you should yet not being able to sleep when you do lie down,
Finally falling into bed yet lying sleepless, sneaking peeks at the alarm clock every half-hour during the endless night, worried that you might oversleep.
Finally the alarm sounds and you bound out of bed (you get slower each day) eat a monstrous stack of pancakes and sausage, drink a gallon of coffee. If you are hunting from home you'll go to a restaurant catering to hunters and bask in the excitement that is so contagious. It's all such an exciting change from the humdrum of most days and we have waited all year for it.
There are some changes this year: remember that you do not have to display your hunting license on your back anymore but you do have to have it with you. Encase it in plastic somehow so it doesn't get wet.
All hunters who take a deer must fill out their harvest tag and attach it to the deer's ear before moving the carcass. The tag can be secured to the base of the ear with a string drawn very tightly, if the hunter plans to have the deer mounted. Cutting a slit in the ear to attach the tag will require additional work by a taxidermist.
For those hunters who plan to visit both a deer processor and taxidermist, it is important to remember that state law requires the deer harvest carcass tag to remain with the head at the taxidermist, and that a second hand-made tag containing the name, address and license number of the person who harvested the deer and the location of the harvest should remain with the rest of the carcass going to the processor, very tightly, if the hunter plans to have the deer mounted. Cutting a slit in the ear to attach the tag will require additional work by a taxidermist.
Properly licensed bear hunters who still possess an unused bear tag come deer season may take a bear during all or portions of the first week of deer season, but only in certain WMUs. Specific seasons and reporting requirements for taking bears during deer season are outlined on page 36-38 of the 2012-13 Digest issued with the purchase of a hunting license the Game Commission's website.

EBENSBURG - Volunteering is nothing new for a retired Mineral Point man, but when he recently started volunteering at the Ebensburg Senior Center, this was different.
Walter George said illness to his mother motivated him to serve the center.
"When my mom was confined to her home due to illness, it meant so much to her to get meals sent in from the senior center," he said. "So this is my way of paying back for that service."

Walter George, a
veteran of the Vietnam War and now a retired
volunteers at the Ebensburg Senior Center. He also has restored many old cars that have been shown all over the country.
It's appreciated.
"They are like family," Tammy Monito, the manager at the Ebensburg Senior Center, said of the volunteers, like George, "and we appreciate all of them so much."
Along with his father and brothers, George also served as a volunteer for 28 years with the Portage Fire Department.
George, 68, grew up in Portage, graduated from Portage Area High School and received a bachelor's degree in criminology from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
He is a member of the VFW Post 7605 of Twin Rocks, where he participates in the honor guard for military funeral services.
"Walt's very community-minded and an asset to the Post," Brenda Crassley, manager of the VFW Post 7605, said.
George also loves old cars from the 1930s and '40s, having restored many that he has sold and have been shown all over the country.
In 1965, George was, he said, "like just about every young man in Portage" to be drafted into the United States Army. He was stationed at Fort Jackson, S.C. and then at Fort Eustis, Va. for Infantry training.
He was sent to Vietnam, where he trained as an aircraft electrician. He finally ended up in the 1st Cavalry Division Infantry, serving there for 13 months.
"It was a tough time," he said. "One day we were out on ground patrol, about 25 of us in our unit, when one of the soldiers next to me tramped on a grenade, and all but two of us were blown up and killed."
Wounded by the flying shrapnel, George was sent to Hawaii to recover from his wounds. He said he was given a choice of going home or finishing out his tour, and he decided to go back into the field for the last two months.
He said he has seen the other survivor of his group from that fateful day only twice.
The man's name was Tom Vagas from southern California. George said the two "talk every month, but we never speak about what happened to all our comrades on that day in 1967."
George and Vagas each received the purple heart and many other medals.
"It is something that you really want to put out of your mind," George said, "when you lose over 20 of your friends in one swipe."
George, sharing his tragic and courageous story for the first time, said he always wanted to be an organ donor, but now that he is 100 percent disabled with Agent Orange, he is unable to do that. He did say that the Veterans Administration has been wonderful, taking care of his medical and counseling needs.
After returning from Vietnam, he worked in construction in the Ebensburg area for around 20 years and just recently retired after selling his West Side Pizza business in the Ebensburg Mall.
"I knew I wanted to do some kind of volunteering so here I am with my 'second family' every day, helping my senior friends," he said.
Barbara Cordoro, an assistant at the Ebensburg Senior Center, said volunteers are so important and "each one, including Walt, is priceless."

Berkeley Health Dept., Heartland of Martinsburg working to stem 'superbug'

MARTINSBURG — Both the Berkeley County Health Department and Heartland of Martinsburg officials agree that residents at the company's personal care facility have demonstrated symptoms of a......
PEOPLE.....CRE starts in the feces and is carried there until it is spread and infects another body system. It IS TREATABLE with antibiotics and it is preventable by WASHING YOUR HANDS. There are other facilities that routinely screen for this and through infection control procedures and policies there are no problems with rampant spreading of the disease. Just saying

The only reason Heartland is the only facility mentioned in this article is because they are the only facility in the area that routinely monitors for this infection. Heartland is an excellent Skilled and Long Term Care facility.

To RightThingRightTime: The symptoms of CRKP can be varied depending upon the person with the infection, what type of infection, etc. For example, an elderly person with heart disease in a nursing home is much more susceptible to this "superbug" than a person in their thirties that is relatively healthy. Typically, the infection occurs in the urine (starts as a UTI-the doctor obtains a sample and then a culture is completed...this is how they know which antibiotic to give.) The culture will come back with CRKP...this means more than one antibiotic will be needed and they will need to be given IV. Sometimes the UTI goes undetected, thus spreading to the blood causing sepsis. Sometimes the infection is a rash like infection. Precautions must be taken like gown, gloves, booties over shoes to prevent the spread. Very, very, very good hand hygeine is imperative. Hope this helps.

I still think we will make the playoffs by the skin of our teeth, but Kenny has really got to get us a scoring winger and a bonifide #1 D
for next season. Plenty of effort tonight but we just dropped a place in the standings and teams around us have games in hand. We
need a least 5 wins from our remaining games to make the post season.
He made some phone calls and was totally blown away when he found out that you can't get a scoring winger or top defenseman if you're completely unwilling to move a first round pick or any of your top prospects. Who knew you couldn't get Jason Pominville for Landon Ferraro and a conditional 4th rounder?

Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix has no appetite for starting over in his effort to turn around the team's fortunes.
With that in mind, any speculation about Chan Gailey losing his job as coach after this season essentially is wasted breath, Nix said.
"Yeah, and I hope I can put that to rest," Nix said Friday when asked if Gailey is safe for next season. "The age-old thing – and they've done it around here for years – is to start over about every three years. What that does is make damn sure you don't make it. … You change every three years and you never quite get there. That's my take."
Gailey is in the middle of his third season as Bills coach. The Bills' disappointing play – they have the worst defense in the NFL – has increased speculation about his job security. Nix said Gailey's contract does not run out after this year. In fact, Nix indicated it has two more years to run beyond the 2012 season.
"He's got a year – or more," Nix said.
Nix suggested that head-coaching changes often amount to an attempt to appease fans. In the 15 years since Marv Levy retired, the Bills have had five head coaches (six if you count 2009 interim coach Perry Fewell).
"You appease 'em for about three months, and then when you line up you gotta do it again," he said.
"I think Chan is the best – he's one of the best offensive coaches in the league," Nix said. "We're playing three phases of our team – two of them are playing well, and we have to get the other one up to par."
Nix also made it clear the 32nd-ranked defense is more to blame for the team's 3-4 record than quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
"Listen, you score 34 points, you're supposed to win the damn game," Nix said, referring to the team's 35-34 loss to Tennessee 13 days ago. "How many do we have to score? He made a mistake, sure he did. Everybody did. But if we get one or two stops or if we knock a pass down on third down, it probably changes the game. It comes down normally to two or three plays and somebody's gotta make that play. We didn't and they did."
Nevertheless, Nix acknowledged that finding a quarterback in the 2013 NFL draft will be a high priority.
"The two guys we got behind Fitz right now are both up this year," Nix said, referring to Tyler Thigpen and Tarvaris Jackson. "And we don't have a young guy to develop or to give competition at that position. You can read into that. It's not like we're trying to replace somebody. It is strictly to make our team better. If we put [a rookie] in there and we develop him in two years or whatever, and he's the guy, and if he beats [Fitzpatrick] out, then you've got a healthy situation. And that's where we're headed."
Nix stated on his WGR radio show Friday morning that "I don't want to leave here without a franchise guy for the future in place."
After the team finished its practice Friday afternoon, Nix said that wasn't meant to be a jab at Fitzpatrick.
"I've said that every year," Nix said. "This year's no different. It's not anything to do with – everybody reads into it, it's how Fitz is playing – we're gonna go get somebody to replace him. It's the same at every position."
As far as his own future as general manager goes, the 72-year-old Nix said: "Here's the deal with me. I came here to make sure this thing was turned around and on solid ground. And I'm not going anywhere till it is, unless the owner says I am, and he and I are the only two that can."
Nix said 94-year-old owner Ralph Wilson still checks in with him by phone every morning, without fail.

The footpussy is created by placing the soles of a woman's feet together, creating an opening between the arches of the feet that somewhat resembles a pussy. There are many variations to the footpussy, but the crucial element is the opening between the soles of the feet. This opening can then be lubricated, and fucked, by sliding your cock between the soles of the feet. This would in turn, make you a footfucker. The owner of the feet would, in turn, be giving you a footjob.
Dude, I fucked the shit out of Stacey's footpussy last night. She has the sexiest feet I have ever seen. They looked even sexier covered in my cum.

Kirsten's Fall tree
Cam's Fall tree
One of my favourite crafts we've done is this spring blossom thumbprint/handprint tree. I knew I wanted to try it again come the Fall because it would be beautiful. I was right. I'm disappointed in the kind of paint I used though, because the colours are very muted. I won't be using that paint again. It was more of a gel paint, and it didn't provide the rich, vibrant, Fall colours I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong though, it's still beautiful, just difficult to see in the pictures. Here's the instructions:
What you'll need:
paint – brown, red, yellow, orange
canvas or paper
paint brush
1. paint your child's palm and half way of their forearm with brown paint, and stamp this on your canvas
2. have your child dip their thumbs in the red, yellow, and orange paint and make thumbprints all over the tree for Fall leaves

LOCKPORT – A new set of guidelines for assigning defense lawyers to clients may lead to increased costs for Niagara County – or not, depending on whom you ask.
The county has a small staff of part-time conflict defenders that represent defendants whose cases can't be taken by the public defender's office.
The most common reasons for that situation include the existence of multiple defendants in the same case, or when it is learned that one of the public defenders has previously represented a witness in a case.
When public defenders are ruled out, the court staff has the job of finding a private lawyer willing to take the case, at a state-mandated fee of $75 an hour for felonies and $60 an hour for misdemeanors. Those tabs are paid by county taxpayers.
The salaried conflict defender staff was created in 2006 to reduce the number of times the courts have to do that. Since its founding, the conflict defender's office has saved the county an estimated $1.7 million in legal fees.
But the conflict defenders, all veteran lawyers, sometimes have conflicts of their own, forcing the court to assign counsel to affected defendants.
Last year, the state Office of Indigent Legal Services issued new rules and standards for how conflict attorneys are selected and supported.
"They're not new. They're largely taken from the existing [state] Bar Association standards," said William J. Leahy, director of the Office of Indigent Legal Services.
The standards are meant to make cases as fair as possible for defendants who can't afford a high-priced private lawyer. Leahy said that's a major priority for the court system.
Niagara County Legislature Vice Chairman Clyde L. Burmaster said he's convinced the standards will drive up county costs for defense of indigent clients.
"It doesn't have to be the best there is. It's the best [the available] money can buy," Burmaster said. "We feel it's more to benefit the legal system in New York City."
The new standards say conflict defenders should have the access they need to expert witnesses and investigative services.
Burmaster said he doesn't believe the county should have to pay for DNA testing and other expert interventions for the defense. The conflict defender's budget for expert witnesses is only $8,000 this year, which was a cut of $2,000 from 2012.
Leahy said counties aren't allowed to cut conflict defense too much. The 2010 funding level is the minimum that must be provided. For Niagara County, that was $587,918, including $175,000 for private counsel assigned when conflict defenders are ruled out.
The 2013 budget is $689,752, including $260,000 for outside counsel. The latter figure is an $18,000 cut from 2012, but in a sense the budget is irrelevant. If the court assigns a lawyer to handle a case, that lawyer must be paid. The county isn't allowed to say lawyers can't be assigned because the funding has run out.
Reviewing their bills and making sure the bills are legitimate is the job of the assigned counsel administrator, who also heads the six-person conflict defender staff.
Robert M. Pusateri, who had headed the office since its founding, retired at the end of 2012. On Jan. 2, the Legislature appointed lawyer Kathleen A. Kugler of Lockport to succeed him, at a salary of $31,419 a year.
"I don't have authority to hire and fire anyone," said Kugler, the niece of well-known Lockport political gadfly George Kugler. "We just oversee the vouchers, the billing statements."
Leahy said the standards are likely to have their greatest effect on rural counties without deep pools of lawyers to draw from. The standards call for appointing lawyers who have enough training and experience to match the complexity of the cases they may be confronted with.
"Niagara's not one of the rich counties, but we've had good cooperation from up there," Leahy said.
He said counties may compete for $4 million in available state grant funding this year and for another $4 million that's expected to become available each of the next three years; those funds can be used to bolster conflict defense budgets.
Leahy also is asking for a $10 million increase in the next state budget in funding to relieve lawyers handling indigent defense from their proverbially heavy caseloads.
"It's not correct to say we're going to use the standards to bludgeon the counties into compliance," Leahy said.
David J. Mansour, a lawyer who frequently accepts court assignments in Niagara County Court and Niagara Falls City Court, said he doesn't see the new standards affecting Niagara County's courts.
"At least at first glance, what they're talking about happens in Niagara County," Mansour said. "It's been my observation that judges wouldn't assign people to anything where the judge doesn't have confidence in the ability of the attorney to handle these types of cases."
The state rules call for fast assignment of conflict attorneys. Mansour said, "In City Court, as soon as the court is aware of a conflict, someone gets assigned within 24 hours. And the same is true in County Court. … At no time are people unrepresented."
Any lawyer who practices criminal law can place his name on the list for potential assignments, but in practice, judges turn again and again to a pool of regulars who are willing to step into cases for the $60 to $75 an hour the state allows. Many well-known lawyers charge far more than that and thus are seldom, if ever, seen on court-assigned cases.
"In City Court, you might spend an hour and resolve a case. You might spend 100 hours on a County Court case," Mansour said. "It's unpredictable."
Mansour said one of the problems with assigned counsel is building up trust with a client who has no say over who his lawyers is, because they don't understand the process once it has to go beyond a public defender.

Albany Molecular Research Inc. is an unknown to most people in Buffalo, but that's no matter as long as one New Yorker – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo – is more than familiar with the drug research and development firm.
Sources inside and outside government say the Tuesday announcement that AMRI will expand its Albany operations to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus – and create 250 new jobs – is the result of Cuomo personally connecting two emerging high-tech campuses at opposite ends of the Thruway.
"The real story and the big opportunity is this connection point for which the governor has a vision," said Matthew K. Enstice, president of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. "He brought this to our attention, sat down and talked about it, and had lots of conversations to help accommodate it."
The result is a $50 million state investment in new biomedical research equipment and facilities that the governor says will spark development in the same way that state-sponsored nano-electronic research and development did for the Capital District. It also ranks as the first tangible investment of the "Buffalo Billion" that Cuomo unveiled last year for economic development in Western New York – details of which were unveiled Tuesday.
The development of a drug and research center on the Medical Campus is also expected to leverage $200 million in new private investment.
While AMRI President Thomas E. D'Ambra lauded Cuomo for his involvement and "commitment" in "establishing Western New York as a centerpiece of cutting-edge drug discoveries," Enstice and others say the new jobs stem from Cuomo's ability to see all the state's new high-tech enterprises eventually working together.
The idea revolves around providing research and development infrastructure, just like the state did for the massive Albany nanotech complex, he said.
"By building the infrastructure, you get the companies to come in," Enstice said, adding he is already fielding inquiries about the Medical Campus as a result of Tuesday's announcement.
"Within 10 minutes, I got another company – a big company – saying they are interested," he said.
An administration official who asked not to be identified confirmed that the deal stemmed from Cuomo's "hands-on" involvement.
"Did he negotiate the deal? No," the staffer said. "Was he involved? Yes."
AMRI officials did not return a phone call Tuesday from The Buffalo News to discuss the company's local plans. But AMRI Vice President Louis Garguilo told the Albany Times-Union that there was no competition between Albany and Buffalo for the new facility and that AMRI was approached by the Governor's Office and by the University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering to participate.
He also told the Times-Union that the new center "strengthens the corporation and can only be good" for its operations in Albany.
AMRI employs 1,300 people, 700 of them upstate, and has invested $200 million in Albany and Syracuse over the years, according to the governor's office. Its website says it specializes in drug discovery and services that lead new compounds through the development process, as well as manufacturing of syringes and vial fillings.
The company reported an 11 percent gain in total revenue for the third quarter to $55.8 million, the Times-Union reported.
Buffalo-area business leaders say that the state's new development process already seems to be working and that AMRI is just the kind of company that will only contribute to the success of the Medical Campus.
"This is entirely consistent with the idea the region has long held that the area we should be investing in is life science," said Andrew J. Rudnick, president of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, who attended Cuomo's announcement. "AMRI is absolutely the type of company of which we speak."
Enstice, meanwhile, said plans call for state investment to fund research facilities that companies like AMRI need to conduct their operations. That's the concept behind Albany's nanotechnology campus as well as the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
It is expected the new facility will carve out space in the Beecher Innovation Center in a former Trico Products office building that houses an incubator for emerging companies.
"It's the incubator that allows this to happen," Enstice said. "It's not easy for a company to pick up and move, so this is a big win for us."
He said the development marks a crucial milestone for the Medical Campus because it means the facility has earned the "critical mass" needed to become a major research and development center for the life sciences.
"They liked what they saw going on here and saw the opportunities from Day One when we brought them here," he said.

Cerebellar degeneration associated with human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection in the absence of cognitive impairment is exceedingly rare. To date, this association has been the subject of a few reports, representing mostly anecdotal findings. A causative association has been postulated, although significant debate continues over whether or not cerebellar degeneration is actually a complication of HIV infection. We describe an HIV-positive patient with subacute cerebellar syndrome in the absence of any cognitive impairment or alternative cause of cerebellar degeneration.

NIH Testifies About FY 2011 Research Budget
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (LHHS) about the "crunch" NIH will face in fiscal year (FY) 2011 when a two-year allotment of $10.4 billion in stimulus funding for research runs out. The LHHS Subcommittee determines the annual funding level for the NIH.
In the hearing, House appropriators spent two hours exploring topics as varied as pancreatic cancer, children's health and the success rate in completing cancer trials. But the ever-present scramble for money was a continuing theme. According to NIH Director Francis Collins, NIH grant applicants had a 25 to 30 percent chance of success at obtaining funding, but more recently that has dropped to 20 percent during the last 30 years. In FY 2011, Collins predicted that just 15 percent of grants would be funded as the spigot of money provided through the economic stimulus law shuts off.
This fiscal year, NIH has a $31 billion budget, not including about $5 billion allocated through the stimulus package. The President included an increase of $1 billion in FY 2011 for a total of $32 billion for NIH. That is an increase of about 3.2 percent which matches the inflationary index for biomedical research. The IMF advocates $35.2 billion in FY 2011 for the NIH.

Editor's note: This review was written in August 2011 about the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Little of substance has changed with this year's model. To see what's new for 2012, click here, or check out a side-by-side comparison of the two model years.
What the Volkswagen Jetta TDI clean-diesel sedan lacks in electronic gizmos it makes up for with a rewarding driving experience and superior mileage.
Cars.com reviewer Mike Hanley reviewed the gas-powered Jetta, and you can read his review here. I'll focus on the diesel version I drove. While Mike and I agree on a lot, our impressions of the interior differ.
The Jetta sedan has been redesigned for 2011, but the previous generation continues in the station wagon version, the 2011 SportWagen. You can see the differences between years and models here.
The Jetta TDI I drove had a six-speed manual transmission; a six-speed automatic is optional.
If you opt for the manual transmission, you should know the Jetta TDI has one of the stiffer clutch pedals of any compact car I've driven. I also stalled the Jetta TDI more than once, though not from a standstill. Every stall happened at low speeds when I thought 2nd gear was called for, but the engine bogged and stalled. Once I started keeping it in 1st gear longer, the stalls stopped. As another reviewer put it, you have to make sure you're in the right gear in the Jetta TDI more often than you do in other cars, especially other diesels.
Otherwise, the best way to describe the drivetrain is punchy. The Jetta TDI moves away from lights and passes quickly. There wasn't lag at any point, and it always felt like there was more power on tap.
The Jetta TDI's performance distinguishes it from other compact cars. In order to have any fun in them, some compacts force you to stand on the gas and wait for the engine to get to its top speed, while others give you everything they've got immediately, leaving nothing on tap farther down the road. The Jetta TDI feels different.
That's partly because diesels make more torque than gas engines: There are 236 pounds-feet in the TDI versus 177 pounds-feet in a comparable, top-of-the-line, gas-powered Jetta SEL. You can get higher horsepower figures from the 2.5-liter gasoline engine, but as gearheads say, you drive torque.
The steering is another success, though it does require more effort than most compact cars. The payoff is that it also gives you more feedback and you feel more connected to what the car is doing. I enjoyed it especially because the steering wheel is thick enough that you can get a good grip on it, and it's sculpted in the proper places so it's comfortable to hold. It's my favorite steering in this car class.
Finally, the Jetta's handling is very good. It feels planted to the road, and the suspension and chassis are well-tuned. The Jetta doesn't squat or roll as much as others in this segment do, so it feels level going through turns. The suspension absorbs bumps very well for a small car, and that gives you a sense of security at high speeds. The road doesn't beat up and toss the car around.
This Jetta isn't as light and sprightly as was the previous generation, so if that drew you to the old Jetta the new one might disappoint you. For the record, I never felt the Jetta TDI was too heavy, cumbersome or clumsy.
Diesel Mileage & Characteristics
I've covered the performance aspects of the diesel, but there's more to consider when choosing an engine.
Mileage is one important consideration, and there the diesel excels. The Jetta TDI gets 30/42 mpg city/highway, while gas-powered Jettas range from a low of 23/29 mpg up to a high of 24/34 mpg. What I like is that the mileage is gained without any fancy mileage package, low-rolling-resistance tires or hybrid system — just a diesel engine. It's a clean diesel engine, as well, which means it meets emissions targets and can be sold in all 50 states. If you're interested in cross-shopping a hybrid with the Jetta TDI, you'll find that the Volkswagen can compete on price: It starts at $23,765, while the lowest-priced Toyota Prius starts at $24,280 and the Honda Civic Hybrid starts at $24,270. Compare their features and mileage here.
The engine runs smoothly and quietly, as do most modern diesels. When you do hear the engine, yes, it makes more of a clattering sound than a gasoline engine, but it's nowhere near as loud and annoying as some diesels.
While I generally agree with Mike Hanley's assertion that the Jetta's interior quality is a step down from what it used to be, I'd probably characterize it as a half-step down.
The benefit of this half-step is it allows Volkswagen — which has long been among the pricier brands — to sell its cars for less. The 2010 Volkswagen Jetta's lowest price was $19,045, compared with the 2011's starting price of $16,135 for the gas-powered sedan.
Also, the interior's not bad by any stretch, it's just not at the class-leading level it was. It's still very nice to look at, and most of the controls still feel pretty good, though a couple of the door switches felt cheap. Where I noticed the biggest difference was in the gearshift: I preferred the previous-generation's heavier, chunkier feel.
But it's not all about subjective, touchy-feely things: The old Jetta nested the rear seat belts in the rear seats, so it was easier to fold the seats down to carry large items. Now, the belts aren't anchored in the seats, which can make folding them a bit more difficult. Is that kind of thing the end of the world? No, but it was nicer the way it was before. Volkswagen purists may say that sentiment extends to a lot of the Jetta's interior.
If what you want in a car is a simple, clean interior unladen with touch-screens and split instrument panels and free of cheap-feeling knobs and controls, the Volkswagen Jetta remains your best option. Only Subaru springs to mind as another automaker that doesn't believe in a lot of interior clutter, but VW's quality is superior to Subaru's.
Safety & Reliability
The Jetta is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick, which means it scores the highest rating, Good, in front-, side-impact and rear crash tests and rollover tests. Though the SportWagen hasn't been redesigned, it too is an IIHS Top Safety Pick.
Because the Jetta sedan has been redesigned, there's no reliability data for it yet. The Jetta SportWagen is predicted to have better than average reliability.
In the Market
The compact segment is the most interesting one going because the cars in it have to offer a lot in a small package. It's interesting to see what features and qualities make it and what gets cut.
In this case, Volkswagen purists will say interior quality was cut. They're right, but it wasn't dropped entirely. The same is true of performance: The Jetta feels heavier than it did before, but I don't think it feels bad.
At a time when more automakers are jamming touch-screens and electronic displays into their cars, the Jetta stands out in a good way. While many cars in this segment feel a bit tinny when the road gets rough, the VW remains composed.
To my mind, the new Jetta isn't a dilution of the previous model, it's simply a slightly different take on the car — but the spirit of the machine remains.

A week ago a number of people wanted the Indians to pick up players for a second half surge.
Now, the ones who are still paying attention to the team's season are content to bash the front office, bash the manager, bash the ownership.
Eight game losing streaks will do that.
But when the Tribe comes up in conversation, and people talk about the ownership, one word keeps coming up:
Larry and Paul Dolan have owned the Indians since 2000. When they purchased the franchise, Cleveland was still selling out its home games and winning more than 90 games a year.
Everything seemed fine.
And then came that day in 2001 when the Tribe sent Hall of Famer Robbie Alomar to the Mets.
It was only the beginning of moves that remade the franchise and turned a large portion of the Indians' fans against the Dolans.
Since 2002, the Indians have made the playoffs once, and had two winning seasons. A fanbase accustomed to names like Thome, Lofton, Vizquel and Ramirez had to get used to names like Blake, Peralta, Garko and Gutierrez.
And that was during the best of times.
As I write this, the Indians are six games worse than .500. A season of promise has once again turned to dust.
The Dolans look more and more like ineffective owners.
But, are they cheap?
I'm not sure that's fair.
According to a database of team salaries, the Indians' payroll stands at more than $66 million. Six teams pay their players less. Of that group, three -the Pirates, Rays and Athletics - are legitimate contenders.
It's not that the Dolans don't spend money, it's that they are unlucky when they do. In 2007, it looked like a smart idea to spend $57 million on Travis Hafner after he'd put up MVP-caliber seasons in 2005 and 2006.
But after going deep 42 times and driving 117 runs six years ago, the designated hitter has been injury prone. He's hit 57 homers in the last five years combined, and the last time he picked up a glove was to retrieve a pan of brownies from the oven.
Five million dollars of this year's budget went to Grady Sizemore, a former all-star who once hit 30 homers and stole 30 bases in a season.
After being out much of last year, I agreed with this move. Sizemore was due for a nice comeback season; it might as well be with the Indians.
But Sizemore got hurt again, and hasn't appeared in a game in 2012.
People have gotten on the ownership for not signing slugger Josh Willingham, who has hit 27 homers and driven in 80 runs for the Twins this year. But plenty of this is hindsight. Yes, Willingham has been great, and would be an MVP candidate on another team.
But before this season he never hit more than 29 jacks in a season, never played more than 144 games in a year (and that was in 2007) and is 33.
I can see, given their history of signing contracts, why the Indians were reluctant to give him a three-year deal.
The point is, the Indians will never be able to spend like the Yankees, Red Sox or even Tigers. The days of the nightly sellouts are a thing of the past.
If I'm going to criticize the Indians for anything, it's player development. They haven't drafted well over the last decade, and will need to do that to compete.
The future isn't in a flashy trade or free agent signing. To win, the Indians will need to be tops in scouting and the farm system.
The Indians likely know all of this. But as they have found out, luck - good or bad - plays a major role.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - School librarians look for creative ways to get students to read more by making books relevant to their lives and current events.
To that end, five Spotsylvania County middle school librarians are using a book on students' reading lists to help them better understand the lives of the nation's wounded veterans, while raising money for their treatment.
Michele Puleo, librarian at Chancellor Middle School, said the group was reviewing summer book lists under the Virginia Readers' Choice program. One volume, "Operation Yes," by Sara Lewis Holmes, got everyone's attention.
"It really tugged at the heartstrings," she said, "particularly in an area with a high military population. You have parents on active duty, and we're close to several military bases."
This year, the librarians were also looking for a service project, and it quickly became clear that the book could have a dual purpose. The Spotsylvania Education Foundation provided a $2,000 grant to the librarians to buy multiple copies of the book.
"Operation Yes" is the story of a fictional sixth-grade class on an Air Force base in North Carolina. Classmates band together to honor their teacher and her brother, who is injured in Afghanistan. They also raise money for the cause.
The librarians - Puleo, Pamela Boyette at Spotsylvania Middle; Kim Allen, Post Oak Middle; Sarah Downing, Freedom Middle; and Lauren Ball, Thornburg Middle - got in touch with the author, who gave them permission to use the book title for their project.
In Puleo's school, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders are reading the book, "and we wanted them to have background about why we are raising money," she said.
Anyone can buy a paper cutout of a camo-clad soldier for a dollar. It lists the names of the donor and the service member to whom it is dedicated.
Freedom Middle's Downing came up with the design.
The project kicked off Sept. 13 and ends the Friday before Veterans Day in November. Each school hopes to collect $1,000, with the money going to the Wounded Warrior Project.
About 600 paper soldiers have been purchased so far at Chancellor Middle, Puleo said. They're displayed in the entrance hall. Each school has its own gallery of heroes.
"I've issued a challenge to my faculty, which they have met, and in October, to keep up the spirit, students will be having a competition between grade levels," she said. The winners will get doughnuts and juice.
Boyette, at Spotsylvania Middle, said she's collected more than $100.
"It's been really sweet. One girl came up at Back to School Night and bought several," dedicating them to an uncle and grandfather.
One family bought $10 worth; two girls, she said, bought one each for parents serving in the military. A student bought one for a former teacher who had been in the service.
Puleo has seen similar interest at her school.
"I've had some people buy as many as 20 soldiers," with dedications linked to troops serving as far back as the Civil War, she said.
For the students, "I think it's making a book much more realistic for them."

A Letter in the 2/6/07 Tomahawk Leader
To the Editor:
An open letter regarding the proposed, statewide smoking ban:
I am encouraging legislators to quickly approve the smoking ban for indoor public places, such as restaurants and bars. For me, this is not just a public health issue, but an occupational health concern.
As an environmental health inspector and non-smoker, I am forced to breathe copious amounts of second-hand smoke in establishments I visit on a daily basis. One unsympathetic restaurant operator recently suggested that if I didn't like the smoke, I should get another job.
Those that share the restaurant operator's view that the choice to allow smoking should remain with the establishment owner either fail to recognize or disregard the public health and occupational health aspects of a proposed ban.
For example, for obvious public health reasons, the state already prohibits smoking by workers in areas where food is stored or prepared. Restaurant owners do not have a choice of whether their employees can smoke while preparing food, because the risk is high that engaging in that activity while preparing food will likely transmit harmful biological agents that can cause illness and suffering to the public.
The same argument may be applied to implement a statewide smoking ban. Only in this case, the health effects take longer to appear, and have a much greater potential to be seriously adverse and permanent. And instead of taking the form of a biological agent, the diseases are dispensed through the dozens of chemical agents in the smoke that wafts in the air.
Not unlike uncontrolled leaf burning, smoking is different from other owner-rights issues because hazardous solids and liquids released into the environment are more easily controlled than ionizing radiation, toxic gases or smoke. As our understanding of the public health threat from second-hand smoke evolves, so too should our restriction on that activity in public places.
Less than 100 years ago, there was no ban or law against consumer products containing ionizing radiation like glow-in-the-dark watch hands. But we know have such laws because we understand the public health threat ionizing radiation poses to people.
My hope is the state's view on this matter also evolves to protect the public, and workers like me.

LAKE TAHOE - Warren Miller's "Flow State" guides viewers to the top of the world's most striking peaks, taking them on a journey across the globe to Norway, Austria, California, Switzerland and beyond. The powder in Japan will send you scrambling to tune-up your gear, the gravity in Telluride will have you scheduling an avalanche refresher course, and the steeps in Alaska will drive you to push a little harder during your next preseason workout.Hosted by Jonny Moseley and showcasing celebrated athletes including Colby West, Chris Davenport, Jess McMillan and David Wise, "Flow State" throws down some of the most captivating footage ever shot by Warren Miller Entertainment. Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety takes on Alaska's mighty Chugach, Julian Carr bombs down Utah's famed Wasatch, Jackie Paaso explores the Norwegian Arctic and Chris Anthony makes Warren Miller history on 70-year-old, 10th Mountain Division ski equipment. "The Flow State is a place where the impossible becomes possible , where time slows down and a perfect moment becomes attainable, Director Max Bervy said. "This film reveals what it is like to be completely immersed in the present ... completely immersed in the snow, in the mountains, and in the enjoyment of winter."Ligety and racer-turned-freeskier Marcus Caston will demonstrate how Alaska's Chugach Range shows no mercy. Accustomed to the confines of racing gates and on-piste runs, they take the lead from Swiss freeskier Phil Meier and learn how to approach the backcountry as they're set loose in 1,663,267 square miles of pure Alaskan wilderness. The Chugach Range averages 600 inches of snowfall per year that covers countless powder walls, averaging 3,000-4,000 feet in vertical expanse. After a handful of ragdoll wipeouts and stomach-churning crashes, Ligety and Caston learn two valuable lessons: One, Alaskan heli-skiing is not for the meek; and two, conquering your fear is the greatest reward of all. "It's a much bigger mystery going down all these lines than it is in a race," Ligety said. "That's been a tough kind of fear for me to conquer."Eleven-year olds Aspen Spora and Toby Miller don't build snowmen or play video games during the winter; they huck cliffs and throw big air in the park at Northstar. And if they can figure out how to skip school on a powder day, you'll spot them playing in the trees at Northstar - just look for two kids in XXL jackets, riding the tallest snowdrifts in sight. While Aspen proves he can hold his own in powder, the park is where he really shines. After only a few minutes of watching Aspen land tricks in the park, it's easy to see how much he loves the sport. "I would have no life without skiing" he said. "My life would be school, ping pong and eating. Skiing is much better than school."Watch "Flow State" at the Cal Neva Resort in Crystal Bay, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 23- 24 or at MontBleu Theatre Nov. 29-30. Tickets are available at Dave's Ski's & Boards (Truckee, Tahoe City & Kings Beach) or at Cal Neva for the North Lake showing. For the South Lake Tahoe showing tickets are available at MontBleu or Sports LTD.
