Blood Pressure ScreeningSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for adults 18 and older for high blood pressure.footnote 1
Tests and programs for high blood pressure vary widely in reliability. Results from automated blood pressure testing, such as you might do at a grocery store or pharmacy, may not be accurate. Any high blood pressure measurement discovered during a blood pressure screening program needs to be confirmed by a doctor or another health professional.
Rechecking blood pressure
Your doctor can let you know how often you should get your blood pressure checked. It may depend on what your blood pressure is and your risk for heart disease. You can get your blood pressure checked during any routine medical visit.
- Healthy adults who have a blood pressure below 120/80 might have their blood pressure checked at least every 1 to 2 years.
- Adults who are prehypertensive (120–139 and/or 80–89) should have their blood pressure checked as often as recommended by their doctor or at least yearly.
- Adults with other risk factors for heart disease or evidence of disease caused by high blood pressure need to have their blood pressure checked more often.
For more information, see the topics High Blood Pressure, Prehypertension, and Home Blood Pressure Test.
Screening in children and teens
Children and teens typically have their blood pressure checked during routine well-child visits and checkups. Blood pressure checks typically start after age 3. After age 21, men and women can follow the adult screening guidelines.

|Studying the Solar System's Chemical Recipe
To study the origins of different isotope ratios among the elements that make up today's smorgasbord of planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and interplanetary ice and dust, a team of scientists from the University of California, San Diego is using ALS Chemical Dynamics Beamline 9.0.2 to mimic radiation from the protosun when the solar system was forming. For more than three decades, Mark Thiemens, Dean of the Division of Physical Sciences at UCSD, has worked to learn how our solar system evolved. Now he and his colleagues Teresa Jackson and Subrata Chakraborty (who won the David A. Shirley Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement at the ALS in 2011) are using ALS Beamline 9.0.2 to see if photochemistry can explain the differences in isotope ratios between elements on Earth and what's found in meteorites and interplanetary dust particles. The Chemical Dynamics Beamline generates intense beams of vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV) that can be precisely tuned to mimic the radiation from the protosun. It is powerful enough to dissociate gas molecules like carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen, providing information about gas-phase photodynamics.
Oxygen and sulfur are the third and tenth most abundant elements in the solar system, respectively, and two of the most important for life. The isotope ratios of these elements are different whether found on Earth or a meteorite. Five years ago, the UCSD team used Beamline 9.0.2 to test a theory called "self-shielding" about why oxygen-16 is less prevalent in these relics of the primitive solar system than it is in the sun, which contains 99.8 percent of all the mass in the solar system. To their surprise, the experimental results showed that self-shielding could not resolve the oxygen-isotope puzzle. (Read more about this work.)
In their most recently published work, the group performed VUV experiments on sulfur, using the results to build a model of chemical evolution in the primitive solar nebula that could yield the isotopic ratios of sulfur seen in meteorites.
Oxygen is the most abundant element on Earth; 99.762 percent of it is the isotope oxygen-16, with eight protons and eight neutrons. Oxygen-18 has two additional neutrons and accounts for another two-tenths of a percent; oxygen-17 (one extra neutron) provides less than four-hundredths of a percent. Sulfur, with four stable isotopes, is less abundant but essential to life. Sulfur-32 accounts for 95.02 percent of sulfur on Earth, 4.21 percent is sulfur‑34, 0.75 percent is sulfur-33, and a mere 0.02 percent is sulfur-36.
Changes in temperature and other physical factors can produce different isotope ratios. For example, the mass of the isotopes themselves—oxygen-18 is two neutrons heavier than oxygen-16. When the temperature rises, oxygen-16 evaporates faster, and when the temperature falls, oxygen-18 condenses faster. That's why there's a greater proportion of oxygen-18 in raindrops than in the clouds they fall from, for example.
Isotope-ratio researchers commonly graph these processes by plotting samples with increasing proportions of oxygen-18 relative to oxygen-16 along the Y axis; the X axis shows increasing proportions of oxygen-17 to oxygen-16. When comparing these three isotopes in almost any sample from Earth to an arbitrary standard called SMOW (standard mean ocean water), the proportions of the three always diverge at a rate that can be plotted along a line with a distinctive slope: about one-half.
Samples whose isotope ratios don't fall on the slope-one-half line didn't result from mass-dependent processes (see sidebar for examples). Mass-independent processes suggest chemical reactions, whether in the lab, the stratosphere, or the early solar system. In the proto-solar system, these reactions might have occurred on a grain of rock or ice or dust, or in just plain gas, bathed in intense ultraviolet light. The goal is to identify distinctive isotopic fractionations and examine the chemical pathways that could have produced them.
Like oxygen, sulfur isotopes show up in different fractions in different solar system sources. Tracing their possible origins, the recent study of sulfur isotopes at Beamline 9.0.2 began by flowing hydrogen sulfide—the most abundant sulfur-bearing gas in the early solar system—into a pressurized reaction chamber, where the synchrotron beam decomposed the gas and deposited elemental sulfur on "jackets" made of ultraclean aluminum foil.
The experiment was performed at four different VUV wavelengths, and the aluminum jackets were carefully taken to Thiemens's lab at UCSD, where Chakraborty and Jackson chemically extracted the sulfur and measured its isotopes. In all samples the isotope compositions were found to be mass independent.
Tracking down how isotopic ratios may have evolved, learning the process behind each elements' fractionation, adds to the knowledge base about the fundamental elements of the solar system. Sulfur compositions evolved independently from the way oxygen isotope compositions evolved. Sulfur's fractionation in nature was due to the photodissociation of hydrogen sulfide as the gas condensed to iron sulfide in the inner solar system, driven by intense 121.6-nanometer-wavelength ultraviolet light as the young star repeatedly shook with violent flares and upheavals.
The most recent target of this research is nitrogen, the seventh most abundant element in the solar system. On Earth, 99.63 of nitrogen is nitrogen-14, and nitrogen-15 comprises the remaining 0.37 percent. Measurements of the solar wind, carbonaceous meteorites, and other sources show wide swings in their proportions. The work is ongoing.

The Weld County Sheriff's Office is seeking contributions to help the Sheriff's Mounted Posse attend the National Peace Officers Memorial Week in Washington, D.C.
The posse hopes to travel to the event in May, which would make it the first law enforcement agency from a western state to actively participate with horses, a release from the office stated.
Each member of the posse, which is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, has donated $500 to the memorial. They hope to honor the six law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in 2012. Colorado had the third-highest number of deaths in the line of duty in the nation last year, according to the release.
Of the 58 members of the posse, 16 have qualified to attend the memorial on horseback. The total cost of the trip is estimated to be $70,000.
Contributions can be made online at http://wcsoposse-inhonorofourbest.org. Checks can be made out to the Sheriff's Posse and mailed to Weld County Sheriff's Office, 1950 O St., Greeley, Colo., 80631, attention Commander (Retired) Margie Martinez Perusek.

Dr. Cyndi T. Lawton lives close enough to Summerville Medical Center (SMC) that she can get to the hospitals birthing suites in six minutes when a baby's on the way. But there are lots of reasons she likes the location. "I grew up right here in Summerville," says the young OB-GYN, who practices with Carolina Women's Care. "This is home." As a girl, she went to Oakbrook Elementary and Oakbrook Middle, ran track and cheered at Fort Dorchester High School and also volunteered at the hospital during her teen years. Always high-energy, she graduated high school early, at age 17, and finished her undergraduate degree at Clemson University by 19, giving her a jump-start on her doctor dreams. Now that's she's back, she couldn't be happier to practice and raise a family here. Her two sons, ages 1 and 3, were both born after high-risk pregnancies and required critical care during the first few weeks of life, giving her a fuller understanding of what families can face. "I'm never going to say that I'm glad I had that experience, but I'm glad for the things that I was able to take away from that. It really has shaped how I deliver care in a good way."

Sister Carol Cimino, a national consultant, college professor and author, has been named the new superintendant of Buffalo Catholic Schools.
Bishop Richard J. Malone will introduce his selection of the new schools chief Thursday at the annual Catholic Schools dinner, "Making a Difference Dinner – A Celebration of Catholic Schools," which will be held in the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
"Sister Carol's credentials are impeccable," Malone said. "She brings to our Catholic schools a breadth of experience that will play an important role as we continue to focus on the faith formation and high academic achievement of our students. She has a deep commitment to the mission of Catholic schools, and knows and understands the importance of Catholic identity."
Cimino's official start date is June 1, but she is expected to make several visits to the diocese prior to then.
She succeeds Dr. Rosemary Henry, who resigned in September 2012 to pursue a teaching opportunity in Ecuador.
A native of Rochester, Cimino has presented workshops across the country on marketing, school board and council development and strategic planning. Her book, "Ensuring a Future Full of Hope," has been used by parent groups and boards to assist in recruitment efforts.
Cimino is a national consultant with William H. Sadlier Publishers, an adjunct consultant with Catholic School Management, and has been an associate professor at Manhattan College since 1990.
Since 1987, she has been executive director of Catholic School Administrators Association of New York, delivering more than 1,500 workshop and training sessions all over the United States.
"The strength of our schools is their Catholic identity, and I pledge to work to maintain and enhance our Catholic identity, so that our schools will remain true gifts to the Church," Cimino said. "I cannot be more proud to be able to serve the Catholic schools of the Diocese of Buffalo. I look forward to strengthening these schools in partnership with pastors, principals and parents, and I believe that, in working with the community, we can bring the Catholic schools to a whole new level."
Cimino also served at several Catholic schools in Rochester.
A graduate of Nazareth College in Rochester, Cimino received a master's degree in American history from Syracuse University, a certificate in educational administration from the University of Rochester and a doctorate in educational leadership from St. Mary's University of Minnesota.
Cimino has been extensively published, authoring "Come Gather Round," a manual for catechists who train elementary and secondary school students; "Continuing to Ensure a Future Full of Hope," a manual for use by Catholic schools to plan for recruitment of students; and "Lessons Learned: 10 Tips for New Principals."
Her service includes co-director of National Catholic Education Association's Selected Programs for Improving Catholic Education, past president of Empire State Society of Association Executives and New York State Education Commissioner's Nonpublic School Advisory Council.

It took several months for one physician to learn that she was a victim of medical identity theft. This realization occurred after patients reported that her name was on their Medicare Summary Notices although they had never seen her. A fraudulent clinical practice had enrolled in Medicare using her name without her knowledge. Another physician had retired from clinical practice but decided to work part-time. Nearly 2 years after sending out job applications, he was asked by Medicare to return more than $350 000 in overpayments made to a practice he had interviewed with but never joined. The Department of Treasury began to garnish his Social Security payments for unpaid debts.

New WIPA Grant Application Process Set
The Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program is a grant initiative established by Social Security in 2006. It provides information and guidance about work incentives to Social Security disability beneficiaries, which they can use to begin or increase their employment.
Funding for WIPA program grantees was temporarily halted last year, but is now being re-instituted. Social Security's Office of Employment Support Programs will conduct teleconferences with WIPA grantees on August 1 and August 8 to go over a new clearance process for grant applications. Each call will feature guest speakers and provide participants with helpful instructional materials. For more information about WIPA and other return to work programs, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/work/WIPA.html.
Proof of Social Security Number
In most cases, you only need to apply for a replacement Social Security card if you need to show your card to a new employer. Even then, you may only need a Social Security number printout to verify your number and not the actual card. The printout will serve as proof of your Social Security number when you need to show it to state governments and social service agencies. If you don't need a new card and the printout will do, you can get your printout right away in your local Social Security office, without having to wait 10 to 15 days to get a replacement Social Security card by mail.
You still need to show us documents to prove your identity and U.S. citizenship or immigration status. Encourage your clients to learn more about the Social Security number printout by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs and typing "printout" in the search box on the left side of the screen.
Still Need a Social Security Statement?
Social Security's popular new online service, my Social Security offers access to several important services for people who establish their online account. Among them is the ability for people to view their own Social Security Statement online and print it, if desired, to share with a financial planner, for example.
If you or your client has tried unsuccessfully to create an online my Social Security account, and you still want to get your Statement, we have good news to share: If you fail the online authentication process, you can now request that we mail your Statement to you. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to create your online account. And if you are not successful creating your account, follow the links to get help and request your Statement.

|A savory southern beef stew, made from chunks of seasoned chuck roast, a mixture of beef stock and water, loads of herbs, potatoes, celery and carrots, rich and loaded with flavor.
Homemade Southern Beef StewLike creamy butter beans, Homemade Southern Beef Stew is another one of those belly warmin', budget stretchin' meals that's pretty popular this time of year. The weather this weekend was absolutely perfect for it too.
This is an old standby beef stew recipe that I've used since the late 70s and have made very few changes to the basic recipe since then. I have always used shortening since those days - you know... old dog, new tricks and all - but you can certainly substitute some cooking oil or even bacon fat if you prefer. I just always manage to find myself reaching for the Crisco when I make this for some reason. Nostalgia, maybe?
This is a wonderfully savory stew, with loads of herbs (use fresh if you have them), rich and just full of flavor. I like searing the meat with my stew because I believe that the caramelization really contributes to the richness. And Julia was right - wipe the beef dry with a paper towel first to pull out any leftover moisture - you want a nice caramelization on the beef and dry beef is essential to that. Don't try to sear all of the meat at once either. You'll overcrowd the pan and your meat will steam more than sear, so brown the meat in batches. Make sure you deglaze that pan afterwards to scrap up all of those yum-yums!
You can also use a variety of potatoes of course - I most often find myself using russets or red potatoes - sometimes peeled, sometimes unpeeled - because that is the type of potato that I usually have on hand. You can certainly substitute your own favorite potato. While it is optional, I also love using Better than Bouillon in this stew and in my beef soups. It's a pantry staple for me. Look how rich it is. You can't get that from bouillon cubes.
Dig in!
Recipe: Homemade Southern Beef Stew©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 2 hours 30 min | Yield: About 6 servings
- 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, bacon fat, or cooking oil
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 pound chuck roast, cut into chunks
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
- 2 toes of garlic, minced
- 2 (32 ounce) cartons of beef stock or broth
- 4 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of Better than Bouillon beef base, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste
- 2 bay leaves
- 4-5 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- Hot, steamed rice
Heat oil over a medium to medium high heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot. Cut the meat into chunks about 1-inch in size and dry them off well with paper towels. Mix together flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and toss the beef in batches, lightly coating with the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour and in batches, drop the beef into the shortening and brown. Remove the meat and set aside, cooking the beef in batches until all of it is browned.
Add the sliced onion to the pot and cook until lightly caramelized, adding additional oil to the skillet if needed. Toss in garlic and cook for one minute. Add enough of the beef stock into the pot just to deglaze the pan. Return the seared beef to the pot, add the remaining beef broth, the water and beef base; bring to a boil. Stir the thyme, rosemary, celery seed, basil, paprika and Cajun seasoning into the pot. Reduce to a medium simmer, drop in the bay leaves and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours.
Add the carrots and potatoes, bring back up to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook an additional 15 minutes; taste and adjust seasonings. In a 2 cup measure, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of milk until blended. Spoon some of the liquid from the stew into the cornstarch and milk mixture and whisk in. Pour into the stew and stir until blended. Cook another 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender and stew has thickened. Serve over hot rice with hot buttered biscuits, cornbread or homemade yeast rolls.
Cook's Notes: Don't crowd the meat in the pan during browning or it will end up steaming instead of searing.Can also substitute about 5 medium sized red potatoes, unpeeled and cut into chunks. Cooking time at the end will depend on what type of potato you are using, so take care not to overcook the potatoes. You don't want them to turn into mush, but rather to be just cooked through, but still slightly firm.

Putting a Life Back Together
By Sudip Bhattacharya, NAMI Communications Intern
Oh what I wouldn't give
Those are lines from one of Mark Baker's poems, who after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, had to start rebuilding his life. This Fragile Life by Charlotte Pierce-Baker, who is Mark's mother, details Mark's struggles with bipolar disorder and his life before and after his diagnosis. The book begins with the promise and potential of Mark Baker.
This Fragile Life: A Mother's Stroy of a Bipolar Son
By Charlotte Pierce-Baker
Charlotte writes about how her son was popular at school, how he was friendly with others and aspired to become a filmmaker someday. The author and her husband are a middle-class African American couple who are intellectuals—both are professors and authors—and who absolutely love and cherish their son. Starting off with the wonderful picture of them as a family prior to Mark's diagnosis does make the eventual fall so much greater and much more heartbreaking.
At first, Charlotte is as clueless and as naive as anyone else would be when they first ignore the symptoms in a loved one. But as many will attest it is a natural and common response to pretend everything is alright and Charlotte is honest when admitting to her and her husband's mistakes in not knowing how to deal with Mark's initial outbursts. They would always find excuses; an outburst would simply be a tantrum when in fact he was actually experiencing an episode triggered by his illness.
Finally, when they admit to themselves that their son needs professional help, the journey of picking up the pieces feels impossible to travel. Charlotte navigates the frustrations of living with someone who has bipolar disorder and who is also coping with his new limits. For instance, Mark can't work any job that requires him to work long hours. Rest and a calm environment are keys to keeping his bipolar under control.
Aside from expressing Mark's and Charlotte's frustrations, the book's strengths lie in its ability to keep the reader on edge.
Like Charlotte, I was constantly nervous about when the next episode would occur and if Mark would lose his job and lose himself once more.
Like Charlotte, I was begging for Mark to listen to his doctors and for him to trust those who really cared about him.
Like Charlotte, I was hopeful and heartbroken, betrayed and braving the next page, the next day.
"With our mentally ill son, we had no other choice except to respect each other in our individual strategies," writes Charlotte, "I held on fiercely to the hope that somehow Mark would come back to us as the person we had always known."
Eventually, Charlotte realizes that things have changed forever. There is no cure for mental illness. It doesn't suddenly all go away. You don't become the person prior to your diagnosis, although you can work towards regaining some facets of that life.
Ultimately, This Fragile Life is not only about a son dealing with his bipolar or about a family struggling with his condition, but rather, the ability to carve out happiness amid hardship. The only complaint I had with This Fragile Life was the abruptness of the end. Then again, in life, not all loose ends get tied up.

A means of gong to the toilet. You sit backwards (with your legs over the back of the toilet) and shit to your hearts content. The following stains will be left down the front of the bowl, rather than the back of the bowl which will confuse the person who goes to the toilet after you.
"Dude, i just walked in on Joe Koalabombing your toilet!"

I don't care how much they make and I think Bettman lucked out because hockey was getting more popular in the U.S. anyway because of the "Miracle on Ice" and International success the U.S has had since then. And as is evidenced by their spending before the Cap the board of governors aren't exactly the brightest bunch
I think you should sue Bettman for doing what the people who employ him, want him to do. I'd like to see how that works out for you. Do you really think that he is so smart, that he is going to "fool" 30 billionaires into doing what is bad for their pocketbooks. He'd be gone in a second if that happened. You think that they give a s*** about your belief that Bettman has ruined the game? If you like hockey as much as you imply that you do, they already have you hooked. Sure, you may turn it off for a while, but you'll be back. We always come back to the game we love, when we realize that there is no better game on earth.
People thought Clarence Campbell and John Ziegler did things that were bad for hockey before Bettman came in. Nothing new I guess.
Like others have stated, I don't understand your need to post a link to a 3 year old article here, especially one that you wrote. Other than fishing for web hits. Did you think to use the search topic function to see if this topic has been covered ad nauseum? I'll bet your article has already been linked to before, probably within a day of it being posted. If I recall, there were a whole lot of people here, blaming Bettman for everything from the Aids epidemic, to Global Warming, as well as the Penguins sucess that year.
I've said enough. Time to start a new, "Hudler Sucks" thread.

More about the new Miss Dominican Republic
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Apr 28 2012 09:31AM
- Runner-up Dulcita Lieggi was crowned Miss Dominican Republic candidate for Miss Universe at the AMG Cafe of Auto Ozama, local reps for Mercedes Benz, one of the pageant`s sponsors. The 22-year old replaces Carlina Duran, who was dethroned after it was confirmed she had been married. Miss Universe rules call for candidates to never have been married. The first runner-up now is Carolyn Hawa (Santiago), second runner-up Alondra Pena Pachedo (Peravia) and third is Luz Quezada Baez (San Jose de Ocoa) who will represent the DR in other pageants. In a press release, the former Miss DR Carlina Duran attributed her decision to break the rule to "inexperience", and stated that she humbly accepts the decision and wishes Lieggi the best of success. She committed to continue making the social contributions she had undertaken when crowned. According to El Caribe, Lieggi Francisco, who was born in Santo Domingo on 19 May 1989, is an advertising and communications graduate from UNIBE and has worked as a model and actress. Her most recent was a short film where she played the role of Maria Montez. She recently participated in a reality show by Frank Perozo, "De la calle al cine," that will soon be released. In 2009 and 2011 she competed in Miss Italia nel Mondo, a pageant for Italian expats or children of Italian parents. She is the daughter of the late Marino Lieggi from Mola di Bari, Italy. Her mother, Dulce Francisco, is from Puerto Plata. She speaks Italian, English and Spanish. Read original at

Snow was in the last intake of pre-university Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) recruits, before the organization stopped sending untrained youngsters to remote places to teach. His year teaching in a school on the banks of the Nile in Uganda was his first taste of volunteering, which would become a constant throughout his adulthood.
Once back in the UK he wanted to do VSO again, only to find that it wasn't possible to do it twice. He started working for New Horizons Youth Centre in 1970 and has been involved with the charity ever since, becoming chair in 1986. "That is my main experience of volunteering," he says.
New Horizons works with young homeless people in King's Cross, an area of London notorious for its vice. One of the charity's successful schemes is the Women's Open Space, where the charity's offices are opened to allow women sex workers to have a break and a shower, and for the charity's staff to engage with them and to help them to try to get out of prostitution.
Provision of this sort of essential community and social service is where the voluntary sector is at its most effective, Snow says. "In the community you can harness the local resources. I see volunteering as an infection — it starts somewhere and is brought into a community where it grows. It's organic." But voluntary organisations should stick to what they're good at: "I can't see the sector holding the keys to prisons. But they do valuable work in the prisons, in education and drama, for example."
Snow is also adamant that volunteering should remain on a local scale. Some voluntary organisations are beginning to resemble corporations, he says. "When New Horizons started we shared an office with another homeless charity called Centrepoint. Now they have become something of an arm of the state. I think they have mimicked state provision, which isn't to denigrate state provision or what they do. It's just that scale doesn't provide the best services."
It is up to the state to provide the resources and for voluntary organisations to tap into those resources. Smaller, local organisations have the local expertise to work with the people in their community. "The welfare state has recognised its limits," he says. "When I started out, local authorities and the state were shirty about the involvement of voluntary organisations in the provision of services. They saw us as the safety net rather than the main provider. Now they turn to us straight away."
Snow compèred at the Community Service Volunteers (CSV) Year of the Volunteer Awards ceremony on January 22. "The Year of the Volunteer has raised awareness and participation," he says. "At New Horizons we've had a huge increase in interest. In this day of iPods, e-mail and mobile phones, you feel cut off from the people among whom you live and it has got people thinking about what they can put back (into society)."
As he attests, the experience stays with you forever. In December Snow made a documentary on malaria, that was shown this month. "The village where I worked has become a badly infected malarial area and I went back to the school where I taught. I met two of the boys I used to teach," he says, emphasising that given the life expectancy of the area that was an achievement in itself. "They reminded me of things I'd said in classes and had very vivid memories of me and my lessons. I'd thought it was a meagre and useless offering, but we underestimate the importance of volunteering."

Not only will wrestling's best compete for Section VI titles this weekend, they will do so under the same roof.
After several years of the Division I and Division II championships being held in different venues, this year the place to be is the University at Buffalo.
Wrestling begins at 10 a.m. Sunday in Alumni Arena with matches continuing on all day on eight mats. The finals are expected to start about 5 p.m.
The winners of each weight class, along with a few select wild cards, will advance to the New York State Championships. There are 10 wrestlers per weight class in Division I while the small schools, which has more teams, has 12 per class.
The last time UB hosted the Sectionals was 2000. Section VI co-chairman Mike DeBarbieri is happy to be returning. He was able to work with current wrestling coach Jim Beichner and other UB personnel to keep costs manageable. The section also sold $100 sponsorships for each weight class which was a big help.
"It was just nice having them all together," said DeBarbieri. "UB is centrally located, there are a lot of hotels, it's easy to get to. When you're separate I don't think you get as many people. It will be fun."
Large schools
99: Sophomore Donny McCoy of Niagara Falls gets the nod as the favorite. Keep an eye on seventh-grader Hector Colom of Dunkirk/Silver Creek, who surprised No. 1 seed freshman Tristan Almeter of Iroquois in the Class A Tournament, 5-4. Giving this class depth is Troy Keller of North Tonawanda and Connor Day of Iroquois.
106: Ryan Burns of Clarence doesn't need incentive to wrestle hard, but he'll have it after bowing to sophomore Anthony Argentieri of Kenmore West, 5-3 in the Class AA final. Tito Colom of Dunkirk/Silver Creek will be in the mix.
113: This class is wide open. Brendan Arena of Clarence, ranked fourth in WNY at 106, moved up and won Class AA title, 4-3, over Shane Helbig of Niagara-Wheatfield. Capable of having a big day and winning the title are: Nick Schuster of Grand Island, Lawrence Jenkins of Lake Shore and Mike Hearon of Iroquois. Don't count out Dan Gacek of Orchard Park, Dillon Knoll of Hamburg or Cody Risley of Jamestown.
120: Senior Steve Michel of Lancaster (38-3), last year's section runner-up, is the clear favorite. He was named Most Outstanding of the Class AA tournament after pinning Anthony Orefice of Lockport. Michel looks to reach states for a fourth consecutive year. Wrestlers with an outside chance are Freddy Eckles of Lake Shore, who defeated Austin Acquard of Iroquois in the Class A final.
126: No. 1 Rocco Russo of Frontier, last year's section champion at 120, is the favorite. Looking for the major upset are Vince Eberhart of Lockport, and Pat Welling of Iroquois.
132: There's no clear favorite in this class. Marcus Popp of Niagara-Wheatfield won a 7-6 decision over Brandon Glauber of Clarence in Class AA final. Matt Kloc of Iroquois is coming off a 3-0 win over Anthony Cooper of Williamsville South in the Class A final.
138: Danny Graham of West Seneca East proved he was ready to move up to by winning the Class A final, 4-0. Look for Kirk Feeney of Lockport to reach the final, coming off his Class AA title. Austin Krawczyk of Clarence got pinned by Feeney in the final, but has the potential for the upset. He scored a memorable win over senior Eric Lewandowski of Lancaster in the annual Border Brawl.
145: Lewandowski (37-6) is the favorite as he was dominant in winning the Class AA title. He's won two section titles and made three trips to states, his best finish second as a freshman. Class A winner sophomore Kurt McGowan of Kenmore East looks for the upset.
152: Clarence sophomore Nate Schwab won Class AA. T.J. Acker of Grand Island won decisively by pin in Class A.
160: Clarence's Jake Weber is 40-1 with the only loss out of the section. He's the favorite and is coming off winning the Class AA title by pin. Weber has been ranked No. 1 locally all year. Junior Preston Smith of Kenmore East, the Class A champ, looks for the upset.
170: This class is pretty wide open. Shane Curry of Kenmore West picked up a nice win over top seed senior Jeff Kuciel (35-9) of Lancaster in the Class AA final. Andrew Paulsen of Iroquois, up from 160, won Class A.
182: Anthony Liberatore (33-1) of Williamsville South missed the class tournament because of illness, but did get a medical wild card to participate in sectionals. Zach Eklum of Jamestown might be peaking at the right time as he defeated No. 1 seed Ryan Schlager of Clarence, 11-2, to win Class AA. Chris Connors of Grand Island and Dillon Thomas of Starpoint look to contend.
195: This is a balanced weight class. Lancaster's James Empfield (25-0 in Section VI) beat senior No. 1 seed Dequan Ralands of Niagara Falls, up from 182, 8-6 in the Class AA final. Other major players are Colby Durinka of Williamsville South, Brendon Knoll of Hamburg.
220: The No. 1 seeds won in both Class AA and A. Senior Marshall Taylor of Lockport gets the nod after he won by pin in Class AA while Bill Brady of Williamsville East was a 10-5 winner.
285: Nate Ward of Clarence pinned three opponents to win Class AA. Class A champion Luke Catalano of Lake Shore looks forward to meeting Ward in what would be his second section final in as many years. It would mark a rematch from the ECIC final won by Ward in overtime.
Small schools
99: Southwestern freshman Ryan Hetrick's (40-1) only loss was to Donny McCoy of large school Niagara Falls. Hetrick won the Class C title. Senior Kyle Blake (25-5) of Falconer is the Class D champion and placed last year at sectionals. He's lost to Hetrick twice this year. Blake's teammate, sophomore Ricky Griffith (31-6) has a shot at the section title. A lot of Griffith's losses are at 106 or to ranked opponents. Phil Calandra (28-5) looks to bring a title home to Depew.
106: This weight class has some depth, but is wide open. Freshman Cameron Swick of Roy-Hart and eighth-grader Brad Bihler of Maple Grove look strong. Swick won Class C. Jacob Peru of Falconer reached the Class D final, but lost to Bihler.
113: In a shocker coming out of the Class C meet, senior Pat McCarthy (31-1) of Fredonia, ranked No. 1 in the Section, didn't make weight. He was runner-up last year at 113. Suddenly the path to states is a lot easier for Lew-Port sophomore Andrew Shomers and Drew Marra of Olean. Shomers' (41-1) only loss is to a Section V opponent. Marra (34-3) has lost twice to McCarthy and once to Shomers in OT. Marra won sectionals last year at 106. Don't overlook junior Ryan Thierman (30-4) of Portville and sophomore Nick Hudson (26-4) of Westfield/Ripley/Chautauqua Lake.
120: Freshman Kellen Devlin (38-2) of Amherst is the favorite. He lost two matches to Michel of Lancaster by one point, 3-2 and 2-1. Abdul-Fatah Alshawai of Lackawanna, who wrestled most of the season at 113, is tough and physical. He won the Class C title, 4-1, beating Dylan Lundmark. Lundmark won sectionals at 99 last year. Nate Lazickas of East Aurora has 34 wins against nine losses. Several of his losses are by one point. Freshman Zack Bierfedt (21-4) of Allegany-Limestone is a gamer and this year's Class D champ.
126: Freshman Dakota Gardner (41-0) of Fredonia is the favorite. He won the Sectionals last year at 120. Senior Majed Mohommad (28-3) of Lackawanna could surprise. He placed fourth two years ago at states. Senior Brandon Muntz of Falconer has a loss to Gardner. Senior Andrew Lazickas, who went to states last year as a wildcard at 120, will be in the mix.
132: It would be a monumental upset if nationally-ranked Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer (37-0) of Cheektowaga doesn't defend his sectional title. His closest match locally was a 6-1 win against Niagara-Wheatfield. Rodriguez-Spencer placed second in the state last year.
With Rodriguez-Spencer the runaway favorite, chasing the wild-card route will be senior Tyler Cassidy (34-4) of Fredonia. Two of his losses are at 138. Cody McGregor of Tonawanda is dangerous and has been to states twice, his highest finish being fourth. Ryan Kromer of Lew-Port won sectionals last year at 113.
138: Senior Dan Regan (40-1) of Lew-Port went to states last year and has been ranked No. 1 at 138 all season. His loss is to senior Drew Hall (33-0) of Roy-Hart, 6-0, in a 145 match. Youngsters looking to break in are sophomores Lucas McKeever of Gowanda, sophomore Brian Westerdahl of Southwestern and junior Kyle Ross of Falconer.
145: Drew Hall (35-0) of Olean was state runner-up last year at 145. He will be challenged by senior Jude Gardner (41-2) of Fredonia. Both of Gardner's losses are to Hall, a pin at the Lockport Tournament and 1-0 in the Class C final.
152: Junior Alex Smythe of Eden, on the varsity since seventh grade, was fourth in the section last year. Senior James McLean of Pioneer, who wrestled most of the season at 145, moved up to enhance his chances to get to states. Other ranked wrestlers looking for a title are Jake Choate of Tonawanda and Class D champion Chris Doubek of Randolph.
160: Senior Gunnar Van Curen of Portville is slick and tough and was named Most Outstanding in Class D. Miguel Rodriguez-Spencer of Cheektowaga could also win it. Two juniors who could figure into the decision are Garrett Schultz of Akron and Chase Wheeler of Wilson.
170: Zach Buckley's 39-0 record for Fredonia includes three wins over three of Section V's best. He looks to be tested at this point of the season and beyond. The much-improved Ryan Vondell of Eden (41-6) suffered a 16-3 loss to Buckley in the Class C finals.
182: Senior Austin Lynn of Frewsburg likely will be the No. 1 seed this weekend after decisioning Portville senior Tyler Veno, 2-0. Lynn was denied a trip to states last year when he lost to eventual state champion Tony Lock of Pioneer in sectional finals. Nick Nocek of Fredonia is your Class C winner.
195: This is anyone's match. It's shaping up to be a three-man race between Dusty Lewis of Salamanca, Trevor Spicer of Frewsburg and Matt Booth of Cattaraugus Little Valley/Pine Valley. All three have shared time at the No. 1 spot and have taken turns beating each other. Lewis is 2-1 against Spicer this season and 1-0 vs. Booth.
220: This is a deep weight class. Among the favorites is Class C Most Outstanding Steve Warthling (34-3) of Tonawanda. Senior Chris Saden (40-1) of Fredonia was on the fast track to the sectional title before suffering his first loss of the season on Saturday to Warthling. Alden's Erik Feitshans has a win over Warthling. In the mix are Senior Brian Kerwin of Wilson and senior Alex Jensen of Roy-Hart in mix.
285: Senior Matt Montesanti (28-0) of Medina should win his second sectional title in a row. He's smart and uses his body well. Clayton Smith of Roy-Hart will challenge. Keep an eye on Lukas Hanssen of Barker, Garrett Rath of Lew-Port, Dustin Provorse of Olean and Class C champion Javen Newman of Falconer.

Openness, transparency, and community: The future of commenting on the web | Opensource.com
Openness, transparency, and community: The future of commenting on the web
It's not often that I find something in the comments on a major news site that's more interesting than the original article. But that's exactly what I just came across--and it's a comment about comments. How meta.
The background: NPR did a story about comment sections on the web. The brief summary: Negative words get more attention. Different sites have different ways of dealing with that fact.
Here's the comment that got my attention:
D Scully (DScullyDScully) wrote:
Matthew Murrey (NPR_Check) wrote: "This was an interesting enough story, but the glaring omission was the lack of reporting on how NPR decides which posters to permenantly ban and what comments to ding in its own online comments section...How about a follow-up report on exactly how these removals are made and who has the final say-so."
- Or, you could just call NPR...like I did. The community and NPR (those who reign over the boards) have different views on how the site works. The community seems to think that the boards are for discussions...occasionally the sharing of ideas...sometimes, even the hopes of reaching an understanding. People who can't participate in a civil discussion, tend to get reported by the community a lot.
The people who oversea [sic] the boards, admit that they don't really read the comments. They don't really like to see discussions. So, to them, if you are carrying on a conversation (engaged in discourse) it is looked at with the same disdain as if you were trolling. It doesn't matter if the discourse is civil. It's sort of impossible to find and make friends by posting a single post and fleeing, but they prefer it.
The remainder of the NPR staff seems to think that we are supposed to be conversing.
Thursday, May 27, 2010 7:31:59 PM
I don't actually know for certain what NPR's policy is. This and other comments on the article got me thinking about the subject. But I'm not a regular commenter on that site, so it was news to me that they might take such a heavy hand towards their contributors. And maybe that's the rub--are commenters contributors? Or just passersby with a keyboard?
In this case, it sounds like the commenters want to be--and believe they are--a community. Scully's first paragraph sounds like a happily running, largely self-policed community. But the site hosting them doesn't behave as if it interested in fostering community.
Obviously (or at least I hope it's obvious), opensource.com feels the complete opposite. We want you to be a community. We want you to not only comment on posts, but start new discussions with one another. Meet new people. Learn new things. Change the world, one collaborative step at a time. It's the open source way.
But should that be the default for the entire web? Is complete openness always the best way? Are there valid reasons for completely closing comments (as a policy, not for specific posts) on a news site like NPR? What about the heavy policing implied in this comment? At the very least, shouldn't it be more transparent--visible comment deletions, and reasons given to banned users?
The NPR story that spawned this comment suggests that the web is beginning to evolve to answer the problems involved in an open forum. But I think the real answer lies in this quote from Lila King, a senior producer at CNN.com, who says the only solution is to have an actual person participating in the discussion. "Really, it's the human touch," she says. "It's actually staying inside the conversation and being active and highlighting comments that we think editorially are really interesting or significant. Set the tone for what you hope the conversation will be."See a larger version of the Obama visualization.
7 Comments
As Web 2.0 has matured over the last decade (matured? Maybe 'got older'...) I've seen an increase in the diversity of policies. Seth Godin has no comments on his blog, just pingbacks. I can imagine a comments section would quickly become too big for a one man band to have any useful input into. So he encourages his readers to start new conversations on their own blogs, based on his posts. I think this is fair enough. Stephen Fry recently posted that he was stopping all comments on his blog (or that's how I understood it). His motives are more to do with the kind of trolling we all see all over the web.
I think that different sites require different policies. General, very popular websites like Stephen's, and national newspapers', attract so many people who just want to rant, troll or provoke (BBC, Daily Mail are two well-known examples). More specialist sites like this one generate more discussion, rather than angry missives.
I've found I've stopped reading the comments on most sites, but those I do still read are on those specialist sites (where there is a common passion which overarches the various specific differences of view).
I think the 'web' has found that ubiquitous open comment is often not as productive or interesting (or essential) as it first appeared. As a web user and a blogger, I think this frees me from a) feeling obliged to offer commenting facilities, and b) excessive trolling, spamming, useless provocation. It helps sift the message from noise, and I hope this trend for more consideration of policy continues.
Openness, transparency, and community is the best
definition of the web I have seen.
Comments and replies can get pretty out of hand sometimes.
Nutjobs abound and real wacko's are so common that
we almost don't notice them these days. Most of the
sites that I visit are using a moderated comment system.
That seems to work but it is more work for the site personnel.
If you are not Open there is no Transparency.
If you are not Open you are not part of a Community.
Ruth, you asked, ". . .should that be the default for the entire web? Is complete openness always the best way? Are there valid reasons for completely closing comments (as a policy, not for specific posts) on a news site like NPR? What about the heavy policing implied in this comment? At the very least, shouldn't it be more transparent--visible comment deletions, and reasons given to banned users?"
I can't agree the opensource.com way can be a default for the entire web because defaults are, by definition, just another box, aren't they? I think the tone has to be set by the writer and content of each piece and/or the voice of the particular channel (forgive my marketing-speak). Godin and Fry are interesting examples; their logs are true web "logs" of their thoughts that just happen to be public, and the commenting community takes place elsewhere due to the burden of moderating that community. Which has to be acknowledged -- open and transparent is HARD work. In their cases, the work was getting in the way of their content, and their larger work was suffering. Those authors made a choice to close comments so they could divert their labor to something more important to them.
But to quote a Penny Marshall movie, "hard is what makes it great." Authors on the web, be they single authors or site publishers, have to address their individual responsibility in a similar way--and so do readers. I read a ton of "weblogs" that continually invite discussion, and the "post" continues with the community involved - the author just gets the ball rolling. Those authors then take the responsibility of dealing with the crap that goes along with the web - and in many cases, the community bears some of that load, too. Flamers gets kicked out.
A news organization like NPR does itself a disservice when it ignores the community created around its content, especially when its publicly funded. I consider this a crucial mistake! But I believe in the better benefits of transparency -- even if it's hard work. Not a lot of online publishers feel the same way.
i know for technical comments especially (and most articles contain some kind of technical information, or information that can be technically wrong,) comments can be a priceless addition to the value of the article.
i wouldn't say comments are a vital standard, but they're a de facto standard, and i think they're generally better than nothing instead. plus they're usually at the bottom so- just like you don't have to watch tv stations you don't like, you don't typically have to scroll down to the comments, either.
One editor[1] of the NY Times said that 9 out of 10 letters to the editor are nothing but complaints. The other 10% had a compliment to go with their complaints.
People feel more motivated to complain than compliment; it's the nature of the beast.
[1] Unverified story.
For consumer products and the like, comments from actual customers can provide a great too either in favor of or the detriment of a product. I find I usually go straight to the negative comments and try to find the "common thread", or something similar in the issues they have and figure out if it is something that will effect me or not.
This, though, is best when done by a 3rd party site. Theoretically, the company putting out the product is on the same footing as the people complaining about it and the possibility of the truth coming out is better. If nothing else, in part because may company self-commenting is pretty obvious.
In most places, though, comments should be seen with a purpose. Do you want to promote discussion on a subject or just try and get more hits?
Depending on the site's view on comments determines what kind of comments will be made.
If a site approves or denies comments so only actual dialog takes place and not mindless blather then the amount of mindless blather they have to go through should be reduced as these types of people see their comments not making it onto the page.
On the other hand, if you let anything go, then people will test those limits.
One thing that I think makes some difference is when they have to have an identity associated with themselves. It makes some people accountable for their comments (not all, but some).
I find I am more willing to read a non-anonymous comment than an anonymous one.
I can't agree the opensource.com way can be a default for the entire web because defaults are, by definition, just another box, aren't they? gifts for wife

Slate magazine calls Dallas "Petty Shoplifter's Paradise" after DMN report on controversial shoplifting policy
On the heels of our Sunday report about a Dallas police policy that makes it harder for retailers to report petty shoplifting, Slate magazine has given Dallas a new, not so flattering title: "Petty Shoplifter's Paradise."
Our story detailed how the new policy, put in place by Chief David Brown, had caused 75 percent reduction in such reports last year. It also explained how the net effect is that about a third of Dallas' highly touted 11 percent drop in crime last year came about because police no longer respond to the shoplifting calls and retailers are reluctant to hassle with reporting the petty thefts.
On the magazine's crime blog, Justin Peters notes that police departments often use two strategies to cut crime: flood high-crime areas with cops or make it harder to report crimes.
"The Dallas, Texas police department chose the latter strategy last year when it announced that police officers would no longer respond in person to shoplifting incidents involving items worth $50 or less," Peters writes.
He goes on to say that he understands that police agencies have to "make tough choices" with how they use their resources, but adds that DPD should not be allowed to "claim the resulting statistics as some huge crime-fighting victory."
"A huge drop in crime doesn't necessarily mean that the police are being any more effective; it could just mean crimes are being downgraded or ignored," he writes. "As this Dallas situation shows, 'less crime getting reported' is not the same thing as 'less crime.'

Add another title to the Duchess of Cambridge: window shopper.
On Saturday, Kate, 31, browsed the furniture and knick-knacks of the Mews Antique Emporium in Holt, Norfolk, where the other shoppers left her alone as she paced room after room of collectibles.
"She came in with a friend of hers but didn't buy anything," a source at the store tells PEOPLE.
Scouting for furnishings makes perfect sense, as Kate has a new London home to fill: Apartment 1a at Kensington Palace, where she and husband William will move come early fall.
The town of Holt is only some 25 miles from Anmer, where the royal couple are due to settle on a country home. She was also seen in the town of Fakenham, about 13 miles away.
As preparations continue in London, Palace sources confirm that Kate, who studied art history at university, has been sourcing pieces for the interior. She also has been known to pick up bargains at antiques fairs in Wales.
Insiders say the couple might even source some artworks from the historic Royal Collection, which permits pieces to be loaned to the various royal households, for display in both public and private areas.
"It's a huge project," says a royal source. "Both of them are involved in it – it's their future home. She has a continuing interest in craftsmanship – the kind of things that lend a person to decoration."

CHARLES TOWN - Cheers erupted from the crowd as the Jefferson County Commission voted to strike down a resolution on gun violence Thursday morning in Charles Town.
The resolution, introduced by the Quakers of Jefferson County, included increasing background checks, banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and an immediate urgency to place restrictions on the sale of firearms.
The Quakers took the position at their monthly meeting in Shepherdstown on January 20 and have encouraged the county and municipalities to adopt the same resolution.
Commissioner Patsy Noland made a motion to strike the item from the agenda, although in order for that to happen four out of the five commissioners would have had to vote to do so.
The motion to strike the item failed to carry, with a 3-to-2 vote.
Several county residents took off work Thursday to come and speak their minds before the commissioners voted. Chris Anders, the state coordinator for the West Virginia Campaign for Liberty, stood firmly against the Quaker resolution.
"You can stand with the founders of our country or you can stand with the fascists," Anders told the commissioners.
Many residents, along with Commissioner Walt Pellish, called the resolution "vague" and found too much of a religious undertone in the language.
"We do have the right to bear arms, and banning or limiting the sale of any firearm is an infringement on our rights," said Janet Robinson, a resident of Jefferson County for 23 years.
Commission president Dale Manuel, who voted along with Commissioner Lyn Widmyer to adopt the resolution, said that by doing so the county cannot enforce any laws - as adoption of a resolution is merely having the commission take a stand on something. It does not mean it is adopting an ordinance.
"I know it's not law, but it's a resolution," Commissioner Jane Tabb said. "But this is being debated in Congress and at the state level in some format, and I do not think this is the arena for it."
Tabb also cited her concerns with the constitutional issues of the resolution.
Widmyer said that by adopting the resolution, the commission would be signaling an interest, not enacting legislation.
The three elements of the resolution Widmyer supported were universal background checks, limiting the sale of high-capacity magazines, and keeping assault weapons from the hands of those not law enforcement or military.
Widmyer compared purchasing a gun to getting a driver's license, and said regulation is needed in that case to keep people safe.
She said the Harpers Ferry Town Council unanimously supported the same resolution.
"A little common sense here and a little protection. If it protects one individual, an adult or child, that's important to me," Manuel said. "I can't understand why I see all this rhetoric. Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Why don't we check the background of people to find out if they are stable before they have a weapon."
No one spoke in favor of the resolution Thursday, and many commented to one another as the commissioners debated the adoption.
In the end, the resolution was not passed, with a 3-to-2 vote.
"I'm a gun owner and got my first rifle at the age of 12 along with my brothers," Tabb said. "To me, it's a near and dear constitutional right."

From Both Sides Now: The Job Talk's Role in Matching Candidates with Law Schools

October 4, 2010
In the heavily competitive law school teaching job market, the so-called "job talk" has assumed increasing importance in the ultimate hiring decision. Nevertheless, there is little published information to assist a law school faculty in structuring or evaluating the job talk and a similar paucity of information for candidates to guide them in creating and preparing for the presentation of their talk. This article is intended to fill that void. The article guides the preparation of faculty and candidates for both the job talk itself and for the crucial Q&A period that follows the talk. The article represents the authors' collective 87 years of experience seeing both successful and unsuccessful job talks, as well as the experience of 15 colleagues around the country who reviewed our initial draft and commented on it from the perspective of their various law schools.
