TCR Friday Notes
- The mayor of Mesa discusses the city's proposal for the Cubs potential new spring training facility. The two locations being discussed are the NE part of the valley by the 202(sounds like he says by Record but couldn't find that, earlier interview he said Greenfield which is what the link goes to) or near the Gateway Airport by the 202 Freeway and Elliot Road. He also says that they'll look to try and grab another Florida team to fill HoHoKam and Fitch Park. As has been mentioned, besides the new stadium and facilties, a Wrigleyville West will be built around the park for fans to spend their cash at.
And for what it's worth, the governor of Florida says it's not quite over.
"I had the opportunity to chat with the owner last night,'' he said
during a stop at Cambier Park in Naples. "He told me, 'governor, you're
going to see some thing in tomorrow's papers, but no decision has been
- The New York Times takes on the Cubs convention. Speaking of the NYT, they've announced a metered payment system to start in 2011 for their online content. Basically you get 10 free visits a month and then will have to pay to access anymore articles. Don't be too surprised when the Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune do something similar in a few years.
- We got a mention at Big League Stew in their Chicago Cubs BLS Blogbook. Thanks. On the left sidebar of our site, I added a Cubs blogroll that randomly features 5 of the so far 36 and counting Cubs blogs that I've found.
- Tim at Cubby-Blue takes a look at what the Ryan Theriot arbitration hearing might look like.
- Baseball Prospectus Top 11 Cubs list should is up next. The schedule has been every other day, but I'm not sure if they post on weekends, so it'll either be up Saturday or Monday.
- The rumor mill at this point still seems to be a right handed hitting outfielder to platoon with Kosukue Fukudome and give Soriano and possibly Derrek Lee some time off. Defensively challenged Johnny Gomes is the hottest name at the moment, seemingly willing to take a 1-year deal and be a reserve. Talks have cooled with Jermaine Dye and Reed Johnson and Xavier Nady(my preference) are still in the mix. Also, the Cubs want a veteran right-handed reliever with Kiko Calero, Jose Contreras, Heath Bell, Luke Gregerson and Jason Frasor all being mentioned at some point. The Ben Sheets talks seem to be overblown at this point and his agent indicated that the Mets and A's are probably the two organizations that still have enough money left this offseason to sign him.
Speaking of starting pitchers, how's Eric Bedard doing?
- While Cubnut hasn't been able to do much writing for the site, he has taken to updating our twitter account (some of those are from me as well). On the right sidebar below the ad you'll see a twitter feed with the latest.
- We've added a few text link advertisements around the site in the sidebars, if they are of interest to you, we'd appreciate giving them a visit.

You can cross Contreras off that list, he just signed with the Phillies.

Don't the Phils already have like five #5 pitchers already??
Re: from the NY Times article
Attendance remained robust, but ratings for Cubs telecasts on WGN slipped by 26 percent, the network said.
Those WGN numbers caught me by surprise. Is it just WGN coverage that tanked or did all televised Cubs games lose viewership?
Average attendance at Wrigley was down 3% from the previous year as well.
Mesa deal not a sure thing... AT ALL
This story just broke:
3:27 P.M. — Gov. Charlie Crist, wearing a Chicago Cubs jersey, said Collier County is not out of the running to be the team's spring training site.
"I had the opportunity to chat with the owner last night,'' he said during a stop at Cambier Park in Naples. "He told me, 'governor, you're going to see some thing in tomorrow's papers, but no decision has been made.''

deleware and nevada...llc heaven.
extremely flexible state corporate laws that don't change much and are rarely in danger of changing.
corporate compliance rules are embarrassingly lax. it's where corporations go to steal tax money from citizens by not paying them. it's good for the state economy at least.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
all utilities (5.6) are covered by the city except electricity to the stadium (electricity for additional facilities are covered by city)...nice bonus.
also...non-potable (greywater/non-drinking) can only be used to water the grounds.
nice find, btw.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I think that the Cubs and Yankees are the two final teams looking for platoon/4th OF candidates, with Dye, Nady, Johnson and perhaps Gomes all looking for one of those spots.
Once the Yanks pick whoever they want, the market drops like a rock for whoever is left. If Hendry is fine with whoever might be left, he may as well wait for the Yanks to make their pick and cut his best deal with whoever is left.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
I don't doubt that the NY Times has researched this, but it seems to me that they are going down a dead end road. They are in a dying business and rather than changing their business model, they are simply moving online. I'm sure that some people will pay for their service, but long-term, I don't see it working.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Your point is valid, but w/out doubt they have reinvented themselves and are the pre-eminent leader of Newspapers-to-online adaptation.
It is a rich media emporium now and I think people will pay something for the articles, video, photo galleries, etc.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Ads for adult web cams and Classmates.com won't pay a reporter staff of 1,200 in 85 countries and more full-time fact-checkers than all media in Chicago combined.
This isn't the Daily Herald. This is one of the greatest news organizations in the world, and much of the exclusive content they produce has more value than the fractions of a penny you're suggesting they should charge for it.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
HAve you not been looking at their advertisers over the last year online?
Apple, HP, phone companies. You've heard of "Google", right?
I would not equate that with porn sites.
Also, you are confusing me with someone else, I did not state anything about how much subscribers would/should pay.
Then again, people pay iTunes .99 cents for a song and 2.99 for a tv show. They are not doing too bad.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Which web browser are you using, E-Man? John was clearly replying to Lou.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I don't think Lou mentioned anything about porn sites or Classmates.com either.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
It doesn't matter if the King of Norway is the one buying the ads, they still won't pay for what NYT needs them to.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I agree.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I agree with Sweet Lou. I'd just add the new generation thrives on instant gratification and services like Google Alerts. With our go-go nature these days, why take the time to read a newspaper when you can sit in your office and listen to the BBC World News podcast while you work?
The newspaper, both print and online, is practically obsolete.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I agree with JB, and these newspapers/online news sites are going to have to all start charging or most of them will go bankrupt and disappear, and then we'll really be getting our news from blogs.
Journalism has already been so dumbed-down since I was a kid, I can't picture how bad it will get if most of the major newspapers go belly-up.
I'm willing to pay for news, but I don't want to have to subscribe to a bunch of sites. I'd prefer some kind of microtransaction deal from all of them. That's what they should all do, band together and integrate something like Paypal into their sites.
And I don't think one or two sites slowly moving into charging for news is going to work well, they need to get most of the big players together and do it all at once. If reading the Tribune costs $$, and the Sun-Times is free, why would I read the Trib to get similar coverage? (I know, the S-T mostly sucks, but the Trib has gone downhill too, that's just an example)
Re: TCR Friday Notes
They can't all get together and do it simultaneously, that's what we have anti-trust legislation for.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Have you heard of JustinTV.com? It broadcasts P2P content that may only be subscription based. ONE person will subscribe to NYT then make money reposting it with an ad based web site until the Times relents and goes free again.
If CUBS games are popular enough, for example, I don't have to pay MLB.TV to watch, SOMEBODY has it on. A newspaper will be EASY pickens. Yes, it may be unethical (like steroids), but what are they going to do? Arrest 900 million in China for rebroacasting a NYT article? THIS is freedom. This IS freedom. This is FREEDOM!
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Stealing is too harsh a word. Fergie jenkins didn't ask for the HR's to be taken off the books, just an apology.
The word is sharing. P2P is sharing. It's akin to Perry's spitball. Cutting edge tech meets a poor man's player contract.
At sometime in every man's life, one has to ask, "Is it WORTH it to have a mistress?"

Re: TCR Friday Notes
well...it is a controlled product who's distribution is the basis of a huge chunk of income.
their distribution models and/or prices makes a lot of people consider these other illegal/grey-area outlets, though.
funny thing is it's the "criminals" who tend to push the changes in distribution models.
music and films have fought for years to hold digital distribution models down while THEY figure out how to transition their own businesses (in between collusion and price gouging on CD sales prices ripping off consumers). the "ipod store" (or whatever) for mp3s should have existed many years before it did, imo. consumer demand for digital media far far far surpassed the content holder's ability (or desire) to properly distribute it. i still remember the first "legal" mp3s being these purposely horrible 128-192kbps rips because protecting the traditional CD distribution channel was more important at the time to the major players.
but yeah...it's stealing...however you want to morally deal with it is up to the person stealing, though. fwiw, the people rebroadcasting are of way more importance than those consuming it (as of now and traditionally).
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Well how many here have a DVR or Tivo and skip the commercials? What's one man's convenience is another's "stealing." Or have they discontinued the "rebroadcast without written consent" disclaimer?
When WGN goes pay-per-view some of you are going P2P, I betcha! Fox will charge for the NFL, too (Jerry Jones hasn't thought of this for his super bowl? Yeah, right!). It's coming, unless the the NYT dies in its attempt to charge to make you look at its ads. Vote by saying no and stay away.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I am pretty sure that watching a taped video in your home doesn't fall under the auspices of "rebroadcasting".
1. To transmit (a radio or television program) for public or general use.
2. To send out or communicate, especially by radio or television
The disclaimer is to keep ESPN from taping and broadcasting WGN games, not to keep people from using their VCR's.
But the idea that "theft is OK as long as I can get away with it" probably gets you some purgatory time if you believe in that bit.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
per Jayson Stark/espn...Fernando Tatis??? Chan the Ho??
Beneath the Sheets: We've heard the Cubs described elsewhere as the leading contender for Ben Sheets. But we've gotten the impression that they've actually back-burnered Sheets for now.
Agents for other players they've talked to consistently report the Cubs want to address two other priorities first: a set-up arm (Kiko Calero? Chan Ho Park?) and a fourth-outfielder type (Jermaine Dye? Reed Johnson? Jonny Gomes? Xavier Nady? Fernando Tatis?). They would only turn back to other needs after those two areas are taken care of.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
unless mets want garland i dunno how they can't get ben sheets. they got the need and the money. it's a perfect fit.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
The two proposed locations for the Cubs Spring Training sites in Mesa are Recker Road north of McDowell Road (in very close proximity to the SR 202 Freeway AKA "Red Mountain Freeway"), and Elliot Road east of Power Road (in close proximity to the north-south part of SR 202 known as the "San Tan Freeway" & about two miles south of east-west U. S. Highway 60 AKA "Superstition Freeway", and just north of the old Williams AFB now known as Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and west of the GM proving grounds). Both sites provide about a square-mile of open land (equivalent to an area bounded by Addison-Montrose-Halsted-Ashland), more than enough room for all the baseball facilitties the Cubs want, plus a hotel, restaurants, and whatever other amenities Ricketts might want to develop in the area.
The Recker site is very close to Mesa Falcon Field Airport (general aviation, including business jets and an occasional commercial charter), and the Elliot site is very close to the fairly newly created Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (a lot like Chicago's Midway Airport), with the latter being served exclusively by Allegiant Airlines (I smell a possible Cubs-Allegiant travel partnership) which flies mostly gambler junkets to & from Vegas, but also serves Chicago and other midwest, west coast, and Florida destinations, and could certainly handle Cubs team charters. (Allegiant is one of very few airlines to turn a profit in recent years).
And the proximity of either Falcon Field or Phoenix-Mesa Gateway to a possible Cubs ST site would also allow the Cubs owners & suits to exec-jet into town without having to drive all the way into central Phoenix to get to & from Sky Harbor International Airport.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Well, he was making $23.5 million a year, and he just signed for $1.5 to be a pinch hitter. Not sure what more you want teams to do, unless you advocate they punish him by pushing him out of baseball altogether. But the owners colluded once on who they would sign and how much they would pay and that didn't work out too well for them. If it turned out there was a list of steroid players that owners were shunning it would be bad for baseball - even worse than giving a bench job to a former steroid user who is now clean (or at least as much as MLB currently tests for). I am not a fan of Giambi or any of these d-bags, but blackballing them is not the answer either. The reality is, as long as fans do things like CHEER McGwire when he makes his return as a coach, and cheer Ramirez when he returns from his suspension, things won't really change.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Actually the owners colluded twice. They paid the union a settlement for colluding in 2002-2003.

Recent comments
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(

Ralph Wilson Jr., the 94-year-old owner of the Buffalo Bills, is doing well and working with a personal trainer at his suburban Detroit home, his wife said in Orchard Park Saturday.
"He's an amazing individual, and he'll probably outlive you," Mary Wilson said, with a wink, as she answered a reporter's question about her husband. "Ralph wants to talk football every day. We have great hopes for the team."
In an interview with The News, Mary Wilson said her husband is walking with his walker.
"He's doing great," she said.
She said her husband worked out with his trainer Friday and the trainer was supposed to work with her husband again Saturday, noting that they have workout equipment in their home.
Mary Wilson was in Orchard Park on Saturday to accept an award for her work with the Western New York Girls in Sports program that she founded eight years ago. She said she spoke with her husband by phone just prior the ceremony Saturday.
"He said, 'Honey, you do better without me.' " Mary Wilson said.
She also said she and her husband remain upbeat about the Bills.
"What we need is some luck," she said. "We're going in the right direction. Everyone knows we're disappointed in certain (respects), but there are some positives."
A frail-looking Ralph Wilson returned to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, in early last August to dedicate the Ralph Wilson Jr. Pro Football Research and Preservation Center facility that he funded with a $2.5 million donation. He was hospitalized briefly with what was believed to be an infection in early September.

I wasn't saying he should join us I was saying he is still got "it" and could even be a Red Wing if circumstances were right. I don't think he needs to be here either.
Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if he came here on a small contract. Should he play with anybody? I don't know, if he feels hockey ready and shows someone that he can still work it, then by all means. If Holland can't get anybody through free agency, I would consider it.

Posted 18 July 2012 - 09:54 PM
Not that I think we should sign him, but it's a shame that he's getting so much grief here about his time as a Wing. He never really got a chance to get going so it's hard to say how things might have ended up if not for such a freak incident. It wasn't as if he pulled his groin because he was too old or something; he got sliced open by a skate blade! Who's to say how he might have looked at the end of the season had he been able to get comfortable with his game here? Some say he started slow, and his conditioning wasn't all there, but for an older player, I'm willing to overlook it if he has legs in the playoffs when it counts. I tend to think he would have risen to the occasion if not for the rather major setback. It was a real shame that it had to end that way. I'm not bitter at all; it was just an unfortunate situation that really was out of everyone's control. It could have happened to anyone.

With less than a month to go, Seneca County Board of Elections had some final discussions about the May 7 election.
The board approved moving Carey school district voters to Wyandot County to vote on a school levy.
There are to be 14 voting precincts open in Seneca County including six precincts in Fostoria, Green Springs village, Adams Township, Bettsville village, two in Liberty Township, Loudon Township, Thompson Township and Attica village.
Director Andrea Carroll said the board mailed a card to every voter in the district, informing them of the new location.
Board chairman Charles Knight said the board should put a sign on the door of the previous location, so voters know where to go.
In other business, former board director Janet Leahy, who was recommended by the Seneca County Republican Party Executive Committee, is likely to be approved as the fourth member of the board by Secretary of State Jon Husted in a couple of weeks, Carroll said.
Knight said it is important she is officially on the board in time for the election.
The board looked at its options to install wireless Internet in the building, and the board agreed to allow Carroll the authority to make a decision on the matter.
Also during the meeting, board members continued discussions on finding a new location for the board of elections.
Board member Jim Fruth said the building is a major problem for training and voting.
Board member Mary Puffenberger said the building is not big enough, and it also poses a security problem.

BC Law Students to Participate in Innovative United Nations Project
2013 news archive
Newton, MA—Boston College Law School is one of three American universities among 19 worldwide invited to participate next semester in an experiential learning project with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) analyzing bilateral investment treaties.
The UNCTAD initiative, now in its second year, sets out to create a comprehensive database of International Investment Agreements (IIA) across more than 150 variations of IIA provisions. The database will help development policy makers understand trends in IIA drafting over time and will contribute to UNCTAD's ongoing policy analysis and policy recommendations. The project builds on UNCTAD's recently launched Investment Policy Framework for Sustainable Development (IPFSD), which offers a wide range of policy options, supporting IIA policy makers in the negotiation of sustainable development friendly IIAs.
BC Law's efforts will take the form of an innovate course offered during the Spring 2014 semester. The two-credit course, taught by Associate Dean for Global Initiatives Frank Garcia, directly involves students in the work of the UN Committee.
"Our students will learn a great deal about the treaty framework that governs international investment and will contribute in a meaningful and real way to the ongoing work of UNCTAD," Garcia said. "Two of our students participating in our London Program will also participate in Kings College's UNCTAD mapping team, making it an interesting transnational partnership and shared experiential learning effort. "
Students enrolled in the course will work closely with their peers at other partner universities, as each student is assigned three different mapping partners from different universities over the course of the project. In addition to the mapping project itself, students will be expected to complete a ten to fifteen page research paper on some aspect of contemporary foreign investment law.
"Our students will do the same work from right here at the Law School that they would be doing if they were sitting in Geneva, and they will get to interact closely with UNCTAD staff," said Garcia. "It's a very interesting hybrid approach and one we will be looking at as a model for other such opportunities–those that can be done remotely and yet involve legal work for global institutions or NGOs."
The first iteration of the Mapping Project was completed in 2013. Law students in this second year are from the following universities:
- Bond University (Australia)
- Boston College (United States)
- Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies (Switzerland)
- Hacettepe University Law School, Ankara (Turkey)
- Kings College, School of Law (United Kingdom)
- Korea University, School of Law (South Korea)
- NALSAR, University of Law (India)
- National Law University of Jodhpur (India)
- National Research University (Russia)
- National University of La Plata (Argentina)
- University of Buenos Aires (Argentina)
- University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany)
- University of Evry Val d'Essonne (France)
- University of Hawaii Richardson School of Law (United States)
- University of Michigan Law School (United States)
- University of Ottawa (Canada)
- University of Pretoria (South Africa)
- University of St. Gallen (Switzerland)
- Xiamen University (China)
Boston College Law School has been expanding its experiential and global opportunities recently with the announcement of its new Center for Experiential Learning (opening Fall 2014) and its new Global Practice Program and Sorbonne J.D./LL.M. Program in Paris.

The North Texas Myeloma Support Group (NTMSG) had a modest beginning, only four families attended its first meeting in Arlington, Texas. As the group's membership grew, the meetings were moved to Dallas and the NTMSG has called that city home ever since. Today, our group serves approximately 150 families from all over North-central Texas with our meetings and monthly newsletters. Some members travel hundreds of miles to attend the monthly support group meetings.
The NTMSG has always placed the greatest emphasis on sharing information, experience, and hope. The group has always been self-facilitating, with a Steering Committee of long-term members handling group direction and easing problems. The group's medical advisor is an oncologist whose mother was the first female myeloma patient to join the support group. He treats many of our members, always makes himself available to the group for advice, and regularly makes presentations at meetings.
At our meetings, we add a star to the patients' badges for every additional year of survival (caregivers get hearts).

A Williamsville man faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if he's convicted on a six-count indictment alleging he ran a loan scheme where at least one victim lost more than $300,000, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. reported Friday.
Nicholas Mussolini, 30, who ran Preston Waters Corp., a company that stated it was able to obtain "large loans" for other companies, was indicted on charges of wire fraud after he allegedly told victim companies that a deposit was required to secure the loans on their behalf, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Maura K. O'Donnell.
As a part of the scheme, Knob Hall Winery provided more than $400,000 to Mussolini as a deposit for a nearly $11 million loan.
Authorities allege instead of using the money to obtain a loan for the winery, Mussolini used it for "personal and other expenses, and to repay other victims of the fraud scheme."
Mussolini's indictment culminates an FBI investigation.

African Film Series to begin Oct. 30
The Fall 2012 African Film Series, part of the Global Studies degree program at Penn State Berks, will feature three films beginning Tuesday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. in room 101 of the Franco Building. Each film will be briefly introduced, with a discussion following the film. The movie nights are free and open to the public.
"War Dance," winner of the Documentary Directing Award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and 2007 Academy Award nominee for best documentary feature, tells the story of the tens of thousands of children who have been abducted over the course of Uganda's 20 years of civil war. Impacted by these circumstances are Dominic, Rose, and Nancy, who are growing up in the Patongo Internally Displaced Persons camp. As members of the Acholi ethnic group, they are victims of the Lord's Resistance Army—a rebel movement that has perpetrated many atrocities—leading many other Ugandans to be suspicious of them. Nevertheless, they make an historic journey to compete in Uganda's national music and dance festival.
Two additional African film nights will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 27 and Tuesday, Dec. 4; these screenings are also both at 7 p.m. in room 101 of the Franco Building. "Yesterday" will be featured on Nov. 27, and "Shake Hands with the Devil" will be shown on Dec. 4.
For more information about the African Film Series, contact Dr. Randall Fegley, associate professor of history, at 610-396-6092 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

ISAIAH BRANCH-BOYLE/Durango Herald
MANCOS � The Weber Fire grew overnight to 9,155 acres. The growth brought it closer to U.S. Highway 160, but it remained within established containment lines Wednesday morning.
�Firefighter are gradually bringing fire down to established containment lines,� a news release from the federal incident management team fighting the fire said. �Crews continue to work conducting burnout operations and constructing and strengthening fire line.�
The fire is now 30 percent contained � meaning firefighters had created a secure line around that percentage of the perimeter.
Highway 41 has been reopened, but evacuated residents still need an escort into their homes, according to the release.
No structures have been destroyed but about 120 people remain evacuated.
Steep terrain and the risk of rolling embers made direct firefighting tactics unsafe in some areas.
�Rough terrain, unpredictable weather, and heavy, dry fuels have made this a hard fought battle.� Incident Commander Joe Lowe was quoted saying in the release.
The release cautioned that �residents and visitors should expect to see and smell smoke over the next several days.�
Fire officials on Tuesday said they expected to spend a couple more days building containment lines and several days after that on �mop up� work. Presently, about 500 people are working the fire.
Deputy incident commander Jay Esperance warned residents not to get a �false sense of security.�
�We can�t let our guard down,� he said Tuesday morning at a community briefing. �We�ve got a long road to go.�
No homes have been lost.
They have been working to protect communication towers on the north end of the fire that serve as a backbone to the entire region.
One firefighter suffered a cut shin in a fall Monday night. He was treated and released.
The fire started Friday afternoon along a road in Weber Canyon.
Federal land officials said the official cause remains under investigation.
But Butch Knowlton, director of La Plata County�s Office of Emergency Preparedness, said the fire was started by people target practicing on federal land. He made the statement Monday during a special meeting to brief county commissioners on area fires.
A bullet passed through a target, ricocheted off a rock and landed in dry vegetation, starting the fire, he said.
Federal land officials did not dispute the explanation, but they insisted it is an ongoing investigation.
�I can�t say,� said Connie Clementson, field manager for the Bureau of Land Management. �The fire is still under investigation. We absolutely know it�s human-caused.�
Weather forecasters predict isolated and scattered thundershowers today and Thursday in the region with a drying trend for the remainder of the week. The best chance for rain showers will be north of the fire in the San Juan Mountains, said Travis Booth, a forecaster with the National Weather Service.
�Thankfully, we don�t anticipate any of the really strong winds,� he said.
However, isolated storms could produce strong gusts.
Fire crews planned to continue containment efforts today and Thursday, Esperance said. They will use hand tools and bulldozers to dig a fire line. They clear vegetation and conduct burnouts � or back burns � to eliminate fuels, he said.
Resident can expect to see heavy smoke during the next several days as the burnouts operations are done.
After the fire is contained, firefighters will begin mop-up efforts, which involve extinguishing all hot spots around the perimeter.
Firefighters will use their hands to feel for heat on the ground, Esperance said. They will use hand tools to expose embers and douse them with water, he said.
�It�s dirty, but it�s extremely critical,� he said.
After mop-up, firefighters will do rehab work, which is repairing fences, culverts or anything else damaged as a result of fighting the blaze, he said.
Mancos resident Julie Desm said she is feeling better about the fire.
�It will be another couple of weeks, and even those couple of weeks won�t be anything to worry about,� she said. �Except for those guys working it.�

Thursday, October 3, 2013
MeadWestvaco Corporation and Blanchard and Calhoun Commercial Corporation broke ground Sept. 23 on the area's first Marriott property.
The Courtyard by Marriott, located off Hwy. 17A and Interstate 26, will stand in the shadow of the first phase of the Nexton community, a pedestrian campus environment encompassing Class A offices, retail, restaurants and multi-family residential components.
Ken Seeger, president of MWV Community Development and Land Management, said the new hotel is tip of the iceberg for the development.
"With Nexton's first Class A office building under construction and SCRA, Carolina Ale House and The Parks apartments soon to be under way, Nexton is truly coming to life," said Seeger. "This marks a watershed for the Summerville region. We're very proud to be a part of it."
Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis said the benefits of road improvements are being seen.
"Seven years ago we began this massive road improvements project from Jedburg Road, Sheep Island, and on down to here in order to bring new business and industry to Berkeley County and the tri-county area," Davis said. "All the road improvements have led us to this day. This is the fruit of that labor. It's nice to see the results of all that hard work."
Vic Mills is CEO of Blanchard and Calhoun Commercial.
"We are delighted to begin our second hotel in the Charleston area in a little more than a year," he said. "The Summerville Courtyard by Marriott will be the first in the Southeast to have the new Courtyard room design."
Mills also announced a second hotel construction project, an extended stay Residence Inn, another Marriott product currently in the design phase that should begin construction sometime in 2014.
The Courtyard by Marriott's design is revolutionary, Mills added, and will incorporate rigorous environmental standards to reduce energy and water consumption. The building will feature 96 rooms and state of the art amenities to include a bistro, lounge, outdoor pool, exercise room, business center, market pantry and artwork from local artists.
"This will be like no Courtyard you've ever experienced," he said. "The exterior and interior design will be very unique to Courtyard."
The Courtyard by Marriott will be the first of two hotels developed with the partnership of MeadWestvaco Corporation and Blanchard and Calhoun Commercial.
With over 900 Courtyard by Marriott hotels worldwide, a July 2014 completion date is planned for the new Summerville hotel.
"Look around you," Dan Davis said at the conclusion of his remarks. "This is going to be the new focal point of the tri-county region."

Three Morale-Boosting Tips for Job Seekers
|Email Print
Nearly two years ago my then beautiful girlfriend, now my gorgeous wife, quit her job and moved to Maryland. Over the next month, she faced an adversity some are now facing, the seemingly endless futility of searching for a new job. She was jobless for quite a while, sending out dozens of resumes and cover letters a day, and falling deeper into the pit of futility with each passing day. While she didn't feel actual financial pain, she was feeling the pressure of not earning money but still spending it, on rent, groceries, etc. It was that pressure and her ingenuity that resulted in these three morale boosting tips we discussed over dinner the other night.
The key behind each of these tips is that they're designed with a single aim in mind: boosting your morale. Sometimes it'll feel like finding a job is a numbers game, where you send out hundreds of resumes in return for a handful of callbacks and an even fewer number of actual interviews. That's because it is a numbers game and it is just as important to keep your chin up as it is to keep sending out your resume.
Aside: On Being Fired
Let me briefly tackle an aside for a moment. If you were let go from a company, don't feel bad. Despite what the numbers may indicate or what the pundits may say, we're in an economic slowdown that has companies letting people go. If you were fired in a time of prosperity, perhaps you might feel bad about yourself. However, given the economic climate today, it's just as likely mismanagement on the part of your company (in planning, projecting, etc) has as much to do with your departure as you do. Either way, being fired is not the worst thing in the world and to think that is counter-productive. Perhaps this is the opportunity you've always wanted, a chance to look inside yourself and figure out what it is you actually want to do. Don't squander it by going down a dead-end path for the sake of money.
Onto the three morale-boosting tips…
Track Your Progress
The first step in her job search was to build a spreadsheet of all the companies she was interested in. The next step was the track what she did with each of those companies, whether it's calling them up, visiting their offices, or sending a cover letter and resume. This lets you accurately track your progress and builds structure into your work.You have zero control over whether the company responds but you have control over your level of effort. You alone control how many resumes, cover letters, and emails you send out. If you don't track your own progress, all you'll focus on is the fact that no one has responded and it will disenchant you.
Hand in hand with tracking your progress is setting achievable goals for yourself such as number of resumes sent, or number of companies contacted, or number of companies identified to contact in the future. You have to feel success in the things you can control, effort, because you can't control anything else.
Do Something Else
You can only job search for so long before you start feeling burned out, so do something else. If you have a choice, pick up something that gives you a sense of accomplishment or improves your skills. If you're a software developer, perhaps you can use this time to brush up on your programming skills by building side projects. If the prospect of something that close to your real work is discouraging, pick up an entirely different hobby like gardening or running.
What you want to do is get that feeling of accomplishment and success because it'll give you a strong moral boost. You want to be able to look back on your day and say: "I sent out five resumes and I planted a bed of roses, that's a pretty good day." or "I set up my company tracking spreadsheet, hit the gym for an hour, and cooked up a nice little dinner." Honestly, those two examples are probably more productive than most people are in 8 hours at work. 🙂
Read What Color Is Your Parachute
I haven't personally read this book but my wife said it was great when she was looking for a job. What Color Is Your Parachute by Richard Bolles has been lauded in many places and I would take a trip to the library to check it out. My wife said that the most poignant part of the book, for her, was the section that explained how this should be an exciting time in your life. It's one of the few times that you can honestly give yourself an assessment and decide what you really want to do with your life.
If you left or were laid off from a job in the financial services industry, now is a great chance for your see if you want to try something else entirely. Maybe you went into a career for the money but not because you loved it, now is your chance to try something you truly enjoy. I'm sure there is more to the book than that concept but that's certainly a good point.{ 4 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

'Superfoods" are joining "diets" as buzzwords for some of the most hyped nutrition trends running rampant across our culture, which increasingly clamors for naturally derived health benefits and weight-loss guidance.
The seed of Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia, has been consumed by indigenous cultures of Mexico and central America for at least five centuries. Chia first burst onto the U.S. scene after Chris MacDougall touted it in his 2009 best-selling book, "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen."
In "Born to Run," MacDougall wrote about Tarahumara Indians who carried chia seed with them on long runs in the desert mountains of northern Mexico.
Enthusiasm seemed to wane as other superfoods, much like stocks, rose and fell with media blitzes and celebrity endorsements. Many said kale was king in 2012. But now chia, which is high in fiber, protein and inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids, seems to be ready to hit new highs in 2013.
Enter 'Dr. Bob'
A new book released today by former CBS and NBC news medical correspondent Dr. Bob Arnot may help fuel that rise.
"The Aztec Diet: Chia Power: The Superfood That Gets You Skinny and Keeps You Healthy" (Notice how the publisher got the words "diet," "superfood" and "skinny" in there?) taps into what I prefer to call "a way of eating." Diet should be banished from the vocabulary.
Not only does the Aztec way of eating include chia, but other much heralded super grains — quinoa, amaranth and bulghur — and lean protein sources, such as black beans, turkey and fish, along with corn and other vegetables and fruits.
Arnot, who has had a fascination with healthy diets of indigenous cultures around the world for years, seized on it after a friend placed a bag of chia on his motorcycle three years ago in the middle of winter in Vermont.
"If you look at these diets of very successful cultures, it's all there. You don't have to add supplements. 'Healthy,' by the way, is judged by low heart attack, low stroke, longevity and all of that," says Arnot, interviewed by phone earlier this month.
"I looked at the label on this bag of chia and said, 'Whaaat?' There were 5 grams of fiber and 70 calories. So I started trying it myself. Chia had a quality that I hadn't really found before: It really filled me up. I could take the chia and really just didn't want to eat much."
Chia seeds, as many who have experimented with them know, expand and turn gelatinous if left in liquid for a few minutes.
"When it expands in your stomach, you'll feel full. The other thing it does is that it slows gastric emptying. Not only do you feel full, but you stay feeling full longer," he says.
Arnot, who stays active by training for bike, skiing and stand-up paddleboard races, has remained relatively svelte throughout his adult life, but he says he was never able to go below 203 pounds on his 6-foot-4-inch frame. With chia, he was able to break into the 190s.
It compelled him to look into the Mexican and Central American diet — before the Spanish introduced beef, pork and other fatty foods into it. He also noted that the Spanish, known for meticulously taking notes, wrote that Aztec Indians lived 10-12 years longer than other people 500 years ago.
After Arnot's personal experience with chia and the Aztec diet, he helped run some "pre-trial studies" of people who ate a prescribed Aztec diet and found that people not only lost weight but had drops in cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation, which is increasingly linked to diabetes, heart disease and depression.
Quinoa & more
"The real trick to the Aztec diet is that a ton of people don't like to eat a lot of fresh vegetables even though they should. Americans want to eat grains, and the ones in the diet are the best grains ever. They have every mineral imaginable."
Arnot says one reason he thinks chia has yet to be celebrated to the degree the Aztecs, who fueled themselves on chia for years in evading Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes, is that the seed is "just an ingredient."
"Think about kale. You cook it or do something with it. Chia is odd in that it's not really a dish. Instead, you add it to water, Gatorade or cook with it. I think people don't know what to do with it. That's why we have recipes for smoothies (in the book)."
Arnot's enthusiasm for chia and the Aztec way of eating seems genuine, largely because he still seems fired up about living an active lifestyle at 64 and beyond.
"I think the vast majority of Americans surrender their youth, like they surrender their driver's license. What they do is surrender to the wrong foods and lifestyle," Arnot says.
"We have this paradigm that people get old. I think 95 percent of aging is just surrender. If you put yourself on an amazing diet like this one and keep moving, you'll be surprised how young and vital you will feel."

Back in 1901, the first safety razor was invented by a man named King C. Gillette. Although it wasn't patented until 1904, this discovery transformed a man's shaving experience, enabling him to trim or cut his facial hair on his own at home. What could be simpler or more convenient? Even men who enjoyed the dutiful trip to the local barber could take advantage of a convenient way to get a shave from home.
At this time, King Gillette decided to start his company based upon the success of his razor design and his goal of creating revolutionary new ways to create a superior shaving experience. In fact, his motto became "There is a better way to shave and we will find it."
Bringing the world the best that shaving tools have to offer for more than a century now, Gillette is dedicated to the creation of innovative technologies that can deliver smooth, close shaves for men and women. The motto remains an integral part of the company's mission to bring the world shaving products based in scientific developments and cutting-edge technology. In particular, the company has focused its efforts on the creation of razor blades that glide on the skin to remove the hair found there without damaging it, offer better manageability, and are readily replaced with new ones.
Gillette has done well in perfecting its razors and the blades that they use. Today's razor models offer self-adjusting blades that gently adjust themselves to the contours of the face, enabling a shave that doesn't pull at the skin or scrape it raw. Tiny little components known as microfins lift a man's beard up in order to enable the blades to capture and remove each individual hair as closely as possible to the surface of the skin.
Making it possible to extend the longevity of razors, manual blade refills and refill cartridges are available for every Gillette razor on the market today. Each style features the latest technology, including thinner edges, enhanced blade suspension, low-resistance coating, streamlined styling, and quality microcombs.
Understanding the importance of providing more than one kind of shaving option, Gillette strives to provide something for everyone. Toward that end, the company has created various styles, each of which features an improvement on its predecessors. Likewise, disposable razors are also available for individuals who like to have a portable option that can be tossed into the trash at the end of its usefulness. The company also offers after-shave gel to soothe the skin after a shave.
With a keen commitment to the creation of products that can deliver an incredible shaving experience, Gillette prides itself on its selection of accessories to accompany the razor in the completion of its task. Toward that end, carefully researched ingredients are blended together to deliver foamy shaving creams and gels for women that make the skin feel soft and smooth despite having just been scraped clean. Even the most sensitive of skin types can benefit from shaving creams that contain soothing ingredients like aloe vera and vitamin E.

11-Year-Old Repeats Sharma Testpiece
11-year-old Mirko Caballero just sent Ubermensch (5.14a) in Pinnacles National Monument, California, according to his 8a.nu scorecard. Caballero described it as a "hard, short but bouldery route." The route was put up by Chris Sharma and originally rated 5.13d, but was bumped to 5.14a after several holds broke.
Caballero is coming off a solid year of 5.14a sends. Just this past November, he climbed the 5.14a Chemical Ali in Smith Rock. In August he sent Ixeia in Rodellar, Spain and in April he climbed God's Own Stone in the Red River Gorge. Caballero started climbing at age 6 and also has a background as a gymnast. He lives in Los Gatos, California.

quote: With NOBODY in the car to "go manual" in case something breaks with the system or the car? Dude that's nuts! Would you trust that?
quote: What if someone wrecks your car? Oh let me guess, the car will automatically text you that it was in a wreck right?

Also explain to him that it just holds a speed and course, not actually "flies" the plane. But I digress, this is another stupid analogy. The idea of a self-driving car isn't some super futuristic mind-blowing idea!

quote: Also explain to him that it just holds a speed and course, not actually "flies" the plane.
quote: The last reason is actually the most compelling to me since eventually the laws will switch from needing a special license to have an automated car, to needing a special license to drive yourself. The only people driving themselves would be people who actually like to drive and are good at it.

on February 20, 2013 - 12:01 AM
The sad and frightening increase in the number of young people who are turning to heroin because it is becoming more difficult to obtain prescription painkillers clearly demonstrates the need for more treatment centers and programs.
That need should translate into a priority for government and social service agencies.
As News staff writers Maki Becker and Tom Precious reported, treatment counselors and police have seen a huge increase in heroin addiction in Buffalo and across the state as people once addicted to prescription painkillers such as oxycontin and hydrocodone move away from those drugs.
The irony here is that a part of the reason for the precipitous rise in heroin addiction stems from the crackdown on prescription opioid abuse. Physicians and pharmacists have been less willing to write and fill prescriptions for painkillers since the State Legislature passed a law last year creating a system to track potentially addictive drugs. The law should be fully implemented in the coming year.
This page joined treatment experts, parents and some in law enforcement who supported the new Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing Act, or I-STOP. It creates an important statewide online database that will enable doctors and pharmacists to track, in real time, narcotic drug prescriptions. The law, designed to reduce over-prescribing of painkillers, has its critics. But the frightening number of adolescents and young people addicted to opioids – which has claimed many lives in Western New York – demanded action.
So, too, does this latest threat from the increase in heroin addiction.
With prescription painkillers becoming scarce and expensive – $30 to $60 per pill – it is easy to figure out why an addict might opt for a $10 bag of heroin that offers two hits. And, unlike pharmacies, drug dealers make their products readily available.
The increase in heroin seized during arrests over the past three years speaks to the problem. The Erie County Central Police Services crime lab tested 499 samples in 2010; that jumped to 1,451 last year.
The state Attorney General's Office has taken appropriately aggressive action in using the state's "drug kingpin" laws to go after heroin traffickers. The office also has stepped up efforts aimed at doctors writing illegal prescriptions. And the Drug Enforcement Agency, which teamed up last week with the Buffalo Police Department and other local law enforcement to crack down on street-level heroin, is working to keep innocent citizens safe.
But these important law enforcement efforts need to be balanced with treatment options to reduce the demand for narcotics. Intensive, costly treatment may be a hard sell in difficult economic times for local and state governments, but that cost pales in comparison to the costs of doing nothing about addiction.

Multiple options to consider when breeding heifers
by Jeff Stevenson
The author is professor of animal sciences at Kansas State University, Manhattan.
One of your greatest assets should be your heifer population. Raising quality heifers starts with proper sire selection, good dry cow and late-gestation heifer care, proper handling and feeding of newborn heifers, careful attention to heifer growth, and breeding future replacements. All of these decisions are critical to producing the next generation of replacements. Let's look at some of the newer A.I. breeding options that are available.
Heat detection only option. In order to determine standing events, researchers used the HeatWatch electronic estrus-detection system marketed by Cow Chips LLC, Manalapan, N.J. That system employs a rump-mounted pressure sensitive device that detects the weight or pressure from a mounting animal. When in heat, Jerseys stood more times than Holsteins, but duration of heat and resulting conception rates were not different between Holstein and Jersey heifers (Table 1). Clearly, conception rates achieved were excellent.
Heat detection plus PGF. A number of good, large-scale studies are available that validate the success of using a simple prostaglandin F2a (PGF)-based system coupled with good visual observation before A.I. breeding of replacements. One such study comprising nearly 3,000 heifers in 45 herds is summarized in Table 2.
Ovaries of heifers were palpated before injecting PGF, and 8.3 percent were classified as anovulatory and not injected. Remaining heifers then were injected and watched for estrus and inseminated. If no heat was detected, 11 days later the remaining noninseminated heifers were reinjected with PGF. A greater proportion of heifers were detected in heat after two than after one injection; however, conception rates were slightly greater for those heifers injected only once. Heifers not detected in heat after both injections received a fixed-time A.I. at 80 hours after PGF, to which 40.6 percent conceived.
Timed A.I. options. Previous use of fixed-time insemination in dairy heifers has produced quite variable responses. A summary of such attempts was made by Bill Thatcher at the recent Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council meeting.
He summarized seven reports in which heifers were exposed to Ovsynch (injection of GnRH seven days before and 48 hours after PGF, with fixed-time A.I. given 12 to 18 hours after GnRH) or Cosynch (injection of GnRH 7 days before and 48 to 72 hours after PGF at the same time as the one fixed-time A.I.) type protocols with or without a seven-day progesterone-releasing intravaginal insert (CIDR).
The average pregnancy rate was 40.6 percent in 963 heifers - not different from what is reported in Table 2 with the basic PGF system and A.I. breeding at 80 hours after the second PGF injection.
New five-day CIDR option. A five-day CIDR protocol in Florida studies has emerged as a potentially good timed A.I. system for heifers. The program consists of a GnRH injection at CIDR insertion (Day 0). The CIDR is removed in five days when PGF is administered (Day 5) and one fixed-time A.I. occurs at 72 hours or three days later (Day 8).
For example, if one starts the protocol on Wednesday a.m., the CIDR can be removed and PGF injected the following Monday a.m., and insemination on Thursday a.m. Results show that this program is a viable alternative to other systems (Table 3). As expected, results varied between herds as they do with any other A.I. protocol.
Further work by the authors using sexed-sorted semen showed that pregnancy rates were about 80 percent of that achieved with conventional semen. This loss in fertility is consistent with other studies in which sexed-sorted semen was compared with conventional semen in cattle that were inseminated after detected heats.
They also should be the most fertile dairy females on your farm. Selecting a breeding protocol that fits your management style and labor availability is an important consideration in your choice.
When labor is a limiting factor to carry out a good twice daily heat detection program, timed A.I. is an alternative. The Florida studies have demonstrated that open heifers detected by ultrasound at 30 to 32 days after first A.I. breeding can be reinserted into a five-day CIDR program with success equal to those synchronized at first A.I. breeding.
Let's keep as many as those good home-grown heifer resources in your breeding herd as possible.

A man was killed Monday morning when he was struck by a train near the Clinton Avenue railroad crossing.
According to a release from the Tiffin Police Department, CSX reported at 6:13 a.m. an eastbound train had struck a pedestrian in the city limits after crossing the Sandusky River. Officers responded to the area and located the man at the end of Tilden and Railroad streets. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man has been identified as Bradley R. Ehrenfried, 55, of Tiffin. Police were continuing to investigate the incident today, and Ehrenfried's cause of death will be determined by the coroner.
Tiffin Police Chief Fred Stevens said Monday it had not yet been determined whether it was an accident.
"We haven't ruled anything yet," he said.
According to the release, the location of the accident was not at a road crossing and rail traffic was stopped in both directions immediately following the incident while the scene was photographed and processed.

Angelina Jolie – who got a standing ovation at Saturday's D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., while presenting a clip from her upcoming film Maleficent – revealed that she didn't exactly get the same rapturous response when she was in costume as Sleeping Beauty's nemesis.
"These little kids would visit the set, and I would think, 'Oh, I am a Disney character,' so I would go over to them, and say, 'Hi there,' " Jolie told the packed crowd. "They would just scream."
The mom-of-six added, "One little kid even said, 'Mommy, please make the mean witch stop talking to me.' "
One child who didn't scare so easily? Her daughter and costar Vivienne, who plays the young Sleeping Beauty.
"Vivienne was the only 4-year-old who didn't scream when she saw me," said Jolie, who wore a black Versace top and black Saint Laurent pants and shoes at the event.
She also revealed that it was her brother, James Haven, who remembered her childhood fascination with the evil sorceress and persuaded her to get involved with the project.
"Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite. I was terrified of her, but I was so drawn to her," Jolie said. "She had this elegance and grace, and yet she was so cruel. Just wonderfully and deliciously cruel."
Jolie admitted that one of the highlights of playing Maleficent was donning her signature headpiece.
"She loved wearing those horns," director Robert Stromberg told PEOPLE. "After awhile it felt very strange to see her without them, like part of her was missing."
While Jolie's youngest daughter wasn't there to promote her film debut (her siblings Pax, 8, and Zahara, 7, also have walk-on roles in the movie), the 38-year-old admitted that her kids weren't far away.
"They are actually playing in the park now," she said, referring to the Disneyland theme park across the street.
Maleficent will open July 2, 2014.

North Hollywood, CA, October 3, 2012 – This summer, the IMF formed the State Patients Equal Access Coalition (SPEAC), which is a patient-focused coalition representing patients, health care professionals, and cancer care centers, working collaboratively to ensure that cancer patients have appropriate access to a broad range of approved and medically-accepted anticancer regimens. Driven by the strategic plan of the national Patients Equal Access Coalition, SPEAC seeks to influence the development of insurance health exchanges in each state that will ensure an equal payment system and cost-sharing requirements for patients receiving intravenous, injectable, and/or orally-administered oncolytic therapies.
Member organizations of SPEAC include the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS-CAN), Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC), National Brain Tumor Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), and the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF).
This fall, the IMF advocacy team is laying the foundation to launch campaigns through SPEAC in New Jersey, Tennessee & Illinois in January 2013. Efforts will focus on bringing together the cancer community in those states, to work collaboratively, to ensure that implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes affordable access to all health care services needed by cancer patients.
An initial coalition meeting was held in New Jersey on September 25th and going forward, the IMF will work with other organizations like the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen and others, in New Jersey, to impact the state's choice of health plan for its state health exchange, Medicaid and other insurance products. The IMF is also hosting a meeting of the cancer community in Illinois in Springfield on Monday, November 26th and will launch similar efforts in Tennessee, by the end of the year.

Taking your kids to nursery school isn't supposed to be a heartbreaking experience. But heartbreak is exactly what Kate and Gerry McCann found on Sept. 19, when they enrolled twins Sean and Amelie, 2, in their local day care facility, the same one daughter Madeleine attended before she disappeared in Portugal in May. "It was very emotional and distressing for them," says Gerry's sister Philomena McCann.
At home, they find a bit of respite, surrounded by the happy chaos of the children playing and the constant stream of friends who have pitched in to run errands and help with chores. The McCanns talk to their kids about their big sister often, in an effort to keep her alive at least in their minds. Madeleine's photos are everywhere in the house, as are her toys. "Kate and I have told them we don't know where she is," wrote Gerry on his blog, "but lots of people are looking for her and we hope they will find her."
Meanwhile, the agonizing journey of Kate and Gerry McCann, both 39, from the largely anonymous life of respected doctors to international symbols of the perils of parenthood, is entering a critical phase of its own. Still suspects in their 3-year-old daughter's disappearance, with photographers camped out nearby, the couple continue to deny any crime – and they are fighting to keep the focus on what they insist is the most important thing: finding their little girl. They are prepared to take lie detector tests, but polygraphs are not used in Portuguese courts. They will not comment on reports that they have hired their own investigators, but with the help of donations of more than $2 million, they will be launching a massive advertising campaign in Portugal and southern Spain, including remote areas, featuring billboards and newspaper ads with Madeleine's picture. As supporters of the McCanns tell it, the initiative offers the couple some badly needed reason for optimism. But there is no denying the toll already taken on their spirits by the seeming lack of progress in the case. "Some days are better than others," says the family's public relations representative Clarence Mitchell. "It is exceedingly hard and getting harder."
