Dorchester County teens searching for a summer job may have an easier time of it this year after Dorchester County Council approved a budget increase to the Summer Youth Employment Program at its Jan. 21 meeting.
Based on a recommendation from the Budget, Finance and Purchasing Committee, Council approved a $10,000 increase to the program budget, making the total budget $25,000.
Various county departments in need hire the youths to work over the summer for minimum wage, which will culminate in a $1,000 payday per worker. By increasing the budget, Council enabled the county to increase program enrollment from 15 to 25 summer employees.
Ridgeville Mayor James Williams first made the request for $7,000 in additional program funds in June 2013. The Budget, Finance and Purchasing Committee heard the request the following month and voted to revisit the motion in January during a mid-year budget review.
According to the county Budget and Finance Department, the program budget was previously $20,000 but was decreased to $15,000 in fiscal year 2010.
Councilman Willie Davis has been supportive of the idea since June, and said, I appreciate this so much, these are valuable workers to us. ... Its a big help to the summer workers and to the county itself.
The vote to approve the budget increase was unanimous.

The saga continues: Entomology 101: Wing Structure and Wing Venation.
In the last section I introduced insect wings and will now move on to look at wing structure and venation. This post will confine itself to the essentials, with a more detailed look at variations in wing structure when I cover the insect orders in the chapter on diversity.
The wings connect to the thorax at three points, with various forms of axillae, which are stiff plates (sclerites) of cuticle that are activated by muscle movements in the thorax. Wings consist of two layers of cuticular membrane which sandwich a framework of veins through which hemolymph flows. The veins are also sclerotized and provide a strengthening structure to the wing. Other features of the wings include fold lines and lines of flexion. In some orders, the fore and hind wings move together as one when in flight, facilitated by various linking mechanisms.
Wing venation and the lines of folding and flexion all contribute to patterns that can assist in identification. The lines of venation have been 'mapped' with a common terminology called the Comstock-Needham system, which recognises the homology of wing veins across the insect orders. The Comstock–Needham system was developed by John Comstock and George Needham in 1898, and today it is variations of that system that are mostly used by entomologists. The Evolution of Insects goes with the Wootton variation (1979) which I follow below, while others may favour the Kukalova´-Peck variation. Continue reading

...no. No.
I trusted reviewers and internet players alike when it came to that abomination, Mario Party 9 (released earlier this year, which I am pessimistic to believe is not a coincidence- 2 massively restructured, underthought sequels to Mario spin-offs in one year). I grew to loathe it, and it infuriated me for that game to even be SITTING with my other games. I only got half my money back for the refund. I'm never buying a massively changed sequel in the same spin-off series from Nintendo ever again. I don't want to get burned again.
Now, if you guys want to buy Paper Mario: Sticker Star, then go right ahead. But be careful what you wish for, because one day, you might. just. GET IT.

This game looks to be a breath of fresh air, and even though I really enjoyed the mechanics of the previous Paper Mario games I'm excited to give these new mechanics a try. The sticker system sounded weird at first, but I've changed my mind and I think it'll be highly challenging and enjoyable to plan out my moves in battle according to which stickers I have in my notebook. Besides, Paper Mario games are always pleasing to the eyes and this one looks to be the most aesthetically pleasing game in the series yet. That paper craft look is nice.
If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Why, thank you. :) I also do standup at the BAWL-in Wall and ride a unicycle atop a moving Troll Train.
...but seriously, based on prior experience with prior Mario spin-off reboots this year and the info I've seen for myself, I have no faith in this game. But if you really think it's going to be fun, then be the guinea pig. I'm not in any hurry to get this game. And I'm not gonna stop any potential customers. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be off to...do...something BYE.

You're dang right I'm getting this. Paper Mario is my favorite series of all time, and the fact that Intelligent Systems is attempting to innovate is exciting to me. Do I hope that we eventually get a new Paper Mario in the same vein of 64 and TTYD? Yeah, for sure. But there's NOTHING wrong with innovation if done properly. No game is perfect, and I'll pass judgment once I beat it.

Absolutely. It's Paper Mario. I've been waiting for this game almost as long as AC, and bad reviews aren't going to sway me from getting the game. Once we get it we can then see for ourselves how awesome or awful it really is.

John Peeler: "Winner-Take-All Politics" provides a well-documented analysis of how the United States government, since the 1970s, has systematically enriched the top one percent of the country at the expense of everyone else. Written by distinguished political scientists, Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson, the book shows how big business interests ratcheted up their national organizations to defend their interests in national policy debates. In addition to employing far stronger lobbying, these interests created think-tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation, designed to challenge the liberal conventional wisdom of the New Deal and Great Society and replace it with an explicitly conservative, free-market-oriented way of thinking.
Reconsidering Japan…Reconsidering Paul Krugman
Steven Hill: No one has been more influential in defining this narrative than New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.
The McLaughlin Group: It's the "Professional Left's" Fault
Joseph Palermo: To add insult to injury, the "professional Left" has a long historical record of being correct. Such as when it argued that NAFTA and the WTO would suck jobs out of the United States and lead to environmental lapses.
Checks and Balances, Part II
Ron Wolff: Here I reveal how a coalition of sub-populations cutting in an entirely different direction (connecting selected people with powerful segments of government) can become destabilizing — possibly even undemocratic (dare I say dictatorial?).
Student Anti-Sweatshop Activists Win Historic Breakthrough
Randy Shaw: Numerous experts argue that the global "race to the bottom" is inevitable and beyond the power of activists to change. Fortunately, student anti-sweatshop activists ignored these claims, and have now defied the conventional wisdom.
The Second Coming of Petraeus
Ivan Eland: With the justified firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his replacement with Iraq water-walker David Petraeus, it's as if people are hoping for a second coming of Jesus in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the replacement may be similar to the second coming of the water-walking Joe Gibbs as coach of the Washington Redskins.
From Great Man to Great Screwup: Behind the McChrystal Uproar
Norman Solomon: For months, the McChrystal star had been slipping. A few days before the Rolling Stone piece caused a sudden plunge from war-making grace, Time Magazine's conventional-wisdom weathervane Joe Klein was notably down on McChrystal's results: "Six months after Barack Obama announced his new Afghan strategy in a speech at West Point, the policy seems stymied."
Magic Johnson and AIDS Healthcare Foundation
Carl Matthes: It will soon be 20 years – Nov. 7, 1991 – since Magic Johnson went before a packed news conference at the Forum in Inglewood, California, to reveal that he was HIV positive and would be retiring from basketball. For the world of sports, it was a devastating announcement.
Why CNN Fails
Randy Shaw: CNN's chief problem is not a lack of partisanship. Instead, it is that CNN's "news" primarily consists of opinions from partisan political hacks. Most work for CNN because no candidate wants to hire them, and it's an easy gig because they don't have to know much about the subjects they pontificate about. Does CNN really believe viewers are still interested in the opinions of the corporate-funded James Carville? Or that CNN will steal viewers from FOX News by hiring Erick Erickson of Redstate.com, who publicly threatened to shoot census workers? CNN is failing because it's selling stale conventional wisdom, which viewers are rejecting.
Could 2010 Be a Good Year for Democrats After All?
Paul Hogarth: With Congress having finally passed health care reform, pundits are saying President Obama has gotten his "second wind" – and the conventional wisdom is being revisited. Could it be the 2010 midterms will be a good election for Democrats, and Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts was just their low point?
Obama, Gandhi, and King: Reflections on His Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech
Gene Rothman: we progressives need to follow King's advice and not merely listen to, but to learn from others in the world. "Compassion and non-violence help us see the enemies point of view . . . . We may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own . . . [and] may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of our brothers who are called the opposition." Most significantly, he noted that it is the U.S. that is the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world."
Fire McChrystal and Get Out of Afghanistan
McChrystal, much like Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War, has publicly spoken out about decisions that are the exclusive purview of the elected civilian leadership. At great cost to his popularity, President Harry Truman cast a great blow for the critical republican principle of civilian control over the military by firing the insubordinate MacArthur. President Obama could do the same with far less cost; McChrystal just took his job and is not a popular war hero, as was MacArthur.
The Incredible Shrinking Healthcare Reform
Under pressure from industry and their lobbyists, the public plan has been watered down to a small and ineffectual option at best, if it ever survives to being enacted

Just out of interest, is there any harm in feeding a baby (previously breast-fed or otherwise) with cows milk?
I don't like the idea of giving any child of mine (if I ever had one) an artificial substitute unless it is truly necessary.
Now that all the recently born babies are getting bigger and starting to put a hole in their parents pockets, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of our shopping prefences re. nappies, formula and stuff.
We use mostly cloth nappies in the day and Tino disposables at night on baby Tayto and it seems to work out ok.
He has been breast fed for his first 6 months and now we are looking for the best baby milk powder for him.
My wife thinks Dumex is good but I think she is being swayed by advertising.
Those of you whose babies are not being breast fed, what are you giving baby?
Recommendations and prices please.

and for diapers...just swtiched from drypantz pull ups to huggies pull ups more flexibility with the pull up versions instead of the wrap around-n-tape....but huggies having the softest and stretchiest material.
Forget the brand but our babes liked the honey flavour
cheers bro if you can get small taster packets the more the merrier. By the way we used cotton diapers unless we were going out. With twins it was just easier and cheaper. We would pre fold them so it was just bing bang bong. Try the juice thing mate even if its 3-1 ratio, its alway better than plain water, and a baby needs a lot here.
If its only been on the boob for 6 months, you might want to consider going a bit longer like 12 months, not unusual at all...

Respect for anyone who got by with cloth nappies. We bought them but they only ever got used as cleaning rags; none of our nannies ever showed any keeness to use them either!
Pampers were ok, but they tended to fill up quickly. Drypers worked the best for us and our two kids.
I tried many different types of milk, but Dumex seemed to be the best. Just about all the formula is created equal, no matter what ads say otherwise. Just check where it's made.
Don't ask questions when you fear the answers --Paulo Coelho
We've had a hell of a bad few days trying to wean him off , he wouldn't sleep and though he is getting some solids , he would only drink water from the bottle.
Oh well we'll try again later on.
Our one is almost 13 months and still breastfeeds 3-4 times a day especially at night, although she's had solids since @ 5 months. I thought Mum would have her off the teat by now, but I think she finds it more convienient that faffing around with bottles and stuff. So a vote for keeping him on the teat (if Mum is up to it) from me. There is no time that kids 'should' stop breastfeeding but it does get weird at primary school.....

Breaking the partisan gridlock on climate change is a central
focus of FCNL's advocacy. Our work has led to the introduction
of a Republican-sponsored resolution committing members
to acknowledge and act to address climate change. FCNL is
working with Rep. Chris Gibson (NY) and other sponsors to build
broad, nonpartisan support. Speaking at the Climate Justice Rally
on the National Mall during the Pope's visit to Washington, FCNL's
Jose Aguto called it "a crack in the partisan dam, behind which
lies a great river of climate solutions." Our lobbying in Washington
is supported and reinforced by the members of FCNL's
Advocacy Corps, who are organizing in districts across the
country for bipartisan climate action.

While some in Congress are
working to keep Syrian refugees out, FCNL is challenging our
government to do better. Along with MoveOn.org, we co-chair a coalition of more than 100 groups from across the political spectrum to lobby against anti-refugee
legislation. We have also been working to counter anti-Muslim rhetoric through public statements, social media outreach, and op-eds in media outlets such as The Hill, a DC-based newspaper.
FCNL's powerful combination of media outreach, Hill lobbying, and grassroots advocacy played a key role in shoring up congressional support for U.S. diplomacy with Iran. Congressional Quarterly called FCNL's Kate Gould "the Quaker lobbyist behind the Iran deal fight." In January 2016, U.S.-Iran diplomacy resulted in Iran ripping out two-thirds of its uranium centrifuges, pouring cement into its
plutonium reactor, and exporting most of its highly enriched uranium. With the deal secured, we are lobbying to keep Congress from violating the agreement's terms.
The failure of a decade of war has helped FCNL successfully
advocate for expanding U.S. government capacities to prevent
violence and pursue diplomacy. Yet the U.S. infrastructure to
carry out this peacebuilding work is precarious and underfunded.
U.S. foreign policy needs to pivot to peace. FCNL
has highlighted U.S. support for peacebuilding efforts
in Kenya, Burundi, and the Central African Republic to
demonstrate the power of nonviolent approaches. We are
also leading efforts to secure funding for peacebuilding and,
in November 2015, brought 400 people to Washington to lobby
for a permanent authorization of peacebuilding programs.

People of all ages work for change with FCNL. Through
advocacy events in Washington, DC and programs to sustain and support grassroots organizers in their local communities, we are making change together.
Bipartisan legislation championed by FCNL is headed for the Senate floor in early 2016. The Sentencing Reform and
Corrections Act would reduce mandatory prison sentences and give judges more sentencing discretion. This important step in unlocking justice for prisoners is the focus of FCNL's Spring Lobby Weekend in March.

Brought to you by CrossCulture XC presents MUNCH 150 Hailed as a "once-in-a-lifetime show" Global interest was huge – not least as a result of one of his four The Scream paintings having recently set a public art auction record of $120 million. Many know Edvard Munch as the man who painted The Scream, but his complete works are remarkable and secure his place as one of the greatest artists to have ever lived.
Munch 150 was co-hosted by the National Museum and the Munch Museum, both in Oslo. With 220 paintings on show, it brought together the greatest number of Munch's key works in one place.
Once again XC bring to you, here in Nairobi, behind-the-scenes footage to show some of the process of putting the exhibition together — as well as providing an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid-19th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War. Special guests will also offer their expert insight and knowledge to host Tim Marlow. Munch 150: A superb show and a fantastic event film.
The 90-minute film provides a Full High Definition walkthrough of the exhibit, in depth commentary about featured pieces and a "behind the scenes" look at the process of putting the exhibition together.
The screening with be followed by a conversation with local Kenyan artist Shabu Mwangi whose work is evocative of Munch's subject matter and style.

This time last year, Connor Cook and Jeremy Langford were not even the expected starters in the Michigan State backfield.
Now, heading into the 2014 season, the pair is among 74 players on the Maxwell Award watch list, which honors the top player in college football.
Cook, who emerged as the starter a couple games into the 2013 season, wound up throwing for 2,755 yards and 22 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He had his biggest games on the biggest stages, throwing for more than 300 yards in the Big Ten Championship Game and the Rose Bowl – both wins for Michigan State and earning offensive player of the game awards in both.
Langford had eight 100-yard rushing games in 2013 – all consecutive – and was the first player to run for more than 100 yards against Ohio State. His big play in the fourth quarter was key for Michigan State, as he capped victories in multiple Big Ten games with late touchdowns. He ran for 1,422 yards on 292 attempts as a junior.
Michigan State was one of two Big Ten teams to put two players on the Maxwell Award watch list, with Michigan also landing two with quarterback Devin Gardner and wide receiver Devin Funchess.
Other Big Ten players on the list are Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah, Maryland wide receiver Stefon Diggs, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon, Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg, Northwestern running back Venric Mark and Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller.

We naturally want all of our images to look their best and sometimes that means applying a variety of adjustments in Lightroom in order to change or improve the overall appearance of a photo. We can exercise considerable control over the appearance of our images with the Develop module. The first step, of course, is in the Library module, to locate the particular image that you'd like to work with. And then switch to the Develop module. Of course, we do have some ability to switch between different images within the Develop module. For example, the film strip is still available, so I could choose a different image there, if I'd like.
And on the Left panel in the Develop Module I can also scroll down and find my collections. So I could switch between different collections or switch between images quite easily. But of course in many cases it's easier to find a particular image using the Library Module. As with all of the modules in Lightroom, generally speaking you'll start with the Left panel and then work your way over to the Right panel. With the Left panel representing more basic selections, and the Right panel representing the more detailed controls for your images.
In the case of the Develop module, the Left panel includes the presets. This is where we can apply a particular preset to change the appearance of an image with one click. For example, let's say that I'd like to apply a black and white effect, perhaps with a bit of strong contrast. I'll take a look at the Red Filter preset, for example, or maybe I'll scroll up, and take a look at the High Contrast option. It looks to be a little bright and maybe I'll take a look at antique light. No, I'm not liking the color tint there. I can preview the images by looking at the navigator while I mouse over the presets.
It looks like maybe creative look one might be a good starting point. That gives me pretty good contrast overall but I can also fine tune the adjustments over on the right-hand side. For example if I wanted to darken the image down just a little bit I can take the exposure down to the left. Maybe not too much, perhaps somewhere around there will be good, and I might like to increase contrast just a little more so I'll move the contrast slider to the right. Once I've adjusted settings for the image, if I'm happy with the result and I think I might want to apply those same settings to a future image, I can also save a new preset.
I'll go ahead and scroll up on the Left panel, and to the right of the Presets label I can click the Plus button in order to create a new preset. I'll call this black and white, B and W High Contrast. And I'll make sure that all of the adjustments that I want included are turned on. In this case, there were not very many adjustments that I applied, so I don't need to worry too much about this. I'll go ahead and click the Create button and now under User presets, I have that Black and White high contrast preset. So I can use that to apply the same adjustment to other images if I'd like. I'll go ahead and switch to a different image so that we can take a closer look at some of the controls available for the Develop module. We'll just explore the fairly basic adjustments.
Let's start with our color temperature adjustment. We could change the white balance preset. These are the same settings you'll find on your camera and it will produce the same result. For example, this image was shot under daylight conditions, so the Daylight Preset might work out well. But I can also fine tune with Temperature and Tint. Temperature will shift the image between blue and yellow. So, I can cool down or warm up the image. In this case, I think I'll warm things up just a little bit. And then I can move to the Tint slider, and that allows us to shift between green and magenta. The Temperature slider tends to be both corrective, meaning we're compensating for a color shift in the image.
But also creative, because I can apply a little bit more of a creative touch warming up or cooling down the image. But the tint slider tends to be purely corrective. We don't tend to want a green or magenta tint in our image. And so really we're just trying to compensate for any color that might be there, to produce a more neutral result. We can then move on to our tonal adjustments. If I hold the Alt or Option key, Alt key on Windows, Option key on Macintosh, while adjusting the Exposure slider, I can see a clipping preview.
I'm able to see where in the image I'm losing detail by brightening up the brightest areas. That makes the Exposure adjustment here, in effect, a white-point adjustment. Of course I don't want to rely purely on that clipping preview so I'll want to evaluate the image itself as well as I fine tune that exposure adjustment. I can then move on to Contrast, and here I'm able to increase or decrease the overall contrast in the image. I think in this case I'll increase contrast just a little bit.
Then I can move on to the highlights, shadows, whites and blacks and this allows me to brighten or darken specific tonal ranges within the image. For example, I can make the brightest areas of the image a little bit brighter and perhaps, the darkest areas of the image a little bit darker. I can also fine-tune the whites as well as the shadows. So that helps me to get the best overall tonal appearance within the photo. Scrolling down a little bit, we'll see the Presence section, and here we can adjust clarity, vibrance, and saturation. Clarity I think of sort of like sharpening, but it's really more about reducing the appearance of haze within a photo.
If we increase clarity things look a little bit sharper, a little bit more crisp, and if we reduce clarity things start to look a little bit more painterly. In most cases I might increase clarity just a little bit, but I don't want to go too far. I don't want the image to have an odd appearance. I just want to improve the overall clarity of the photo. Vibrance allows us to boost the intensity of colors within the image, but it does so with a little bit of self-control. So, I usually start with vibrance, adjusting it as I see fit, not going too high, but in most cases increasing just a little bit. And then if I'm still not satisfied with the result, then I can boost saturation. But saturation has a much stronger impact on the image, so in most cases I'll leave saturation alone.
Note by the way that as your modifying any of these sliders if you decide you want to revert a slider to its default value you can simply double-click on the handle for that slider and the control will be reverted to its default value. There are of course other adjustments at your disposal here on the Right panel in the Develop module. But in most cases the basic adjustments are all you need to improve the overall appearance of a photo.

"They took the covers off very neatly, laid them to the side and clipped all the copper lines," Mike Firmin, executive director of Golden Harvest Food Bank, said Sunday.
The thieves cut a chain-link fence to get to the units, Firmin said.
They also destroyed two units at a neighboring business, he said.
The units cooled offices at the food bank's headquarters in the 3300 block of Commerce Drive.
"The good thing is at least the weather is mild now. It's not August or the dead of winter," Firmin said.
The food bank will pay an insurance deductible and have the units replaced, Firmin said.
Golden Harvest distributes food to the needy in 30 Georgia and South Carolina counties and operates the Master's Table, a soup kitchen in downtown Augusta.

Vivigani Airfield
|Vivigani Airport
|IATA: VIV – ICAO: none
|Airport type
|Vivigani, Goodenough Island, Papua New Guinea
Vivigani Airfield (IATA: VIV) was an airstrip at Vivigani on Goodenough Island, part of the D'Entrecasteaux Islands in Papua New Guinea.
World War II[edit]
The Australian 2/12th Battalion reached Vivigani on 27 October 1942, occupying the island after defeating the Imperial Japanese troops marooned on the island during World War II.
The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) prepared the airfields, first building an emergency landing strip in April 1943. A road was built from the Vivigani docks to the airfield. The first use of the airfield was by 6 Bristol Beauforts of No. 100 Squadron RAAF, staging out of Gurney Airfield, Milne Bay for a strike on Gasmata, Papua New Guinea on 17 May 1943.
No. 5 Mobile Works Squadron worked on the airfield between February and November 1943 and was joined by No. 7 Mobile Works Squadron RAAF between June and September 1943. The airfield consisted of two parallel runways 6,600 feet (2,000 m) long and 150 feet (46 m) wide.
The airfield was used by both the 5th Air Force and the RAAF.
Units Based at Vivigani during World War II[edit]
- No. 6 Squadron RAAF (Bristol Beauforts)
- No. 8 Squadron RAAF (Bristol Beauforts)
- No. 22 Squadron RAAF (Bostons)
- No. 30 Squadron RAAF (Bristol Beaufighters (Strike/Attack Fighter models Mk.1c, Mk.VIc, Mk.XIc and Mk.Xc)
- No. 77 Squadron RAAF (P-40's)
- No. 79 Squadron RAAF (Spitfire)
- No. 100 Squadron RAAF (Bristol Beauforts)
- No. 108 Communication Unit RAAF (PBY Catalinas)
- No. 7 Mobile Works Squadron RAAF
Post war[edit]
Vivigani Airstrip was a general use airstrip until roughly 2006. This airstrip is now closed; the only two air operations that regularly used it (MAF & JAARS) now refuse to attempt to land there. The entire area has been completely overgrown by native kunai grass.

I am certainly not outraged when the government doesn't protect me from natural disasters. The government is not my babysitter and I'm no child. If I die, I die. I think it's pretty foolish to spend a lot of money to protect against an event where the odds are so huge against it ever happening. It's like the odds of winning the lottery. I think the world should slowly develop something *together* and eventually they'll have something.
quote: I wouldn't spend a cent to protect from being hit by a random bullet. Why? Because the odds are so low it would a waste of money. You'd laugh at someone who wore a bullet-proof vest all the time. They'd seem paranoid. Why? Because most of us will live for 80 years never once being shot at. It's the weirdos and kooks that people laugh at for owning gas masks and bomb shelters.

Defensive end John Abraham, who has missed all of the New York Jets' offseason workouts and all of training camp, on Monday signed the one-year qualifying offer as a "franchise" player and reported to work.
In the wake of reports that he was about to end his absence, Abraham arrived at the team's Hempstead, N.Y., complex with his representative and signed a deal that will pay him $6.67 million for the 2005 season. Abraham has been seeking a long-term offer but, given his history of injuries, Jets officials have balked at a multi-year deal.
"We are pleased John has signed and he can begin the process of getting ready to play this season. We've said from the beginning, we knew John would be here," said general manager Terry Bradway. "He's an important part of our defense and our football team."
Abraham, 27, is expected to begin practicing on Tuesday but almost certainly will not play in the team's preseason finale at Philadelphia on Thursday night. Instead, the team will try to get the sixth-year veteran ready for the season opener.
"It was a difficult process to go through, but I'm happy to be here and ready to join my teammates," Abraham said. "There's a lot of work ahead, but I'm ready to face the challenges and look forward to a successful season."
Coach Herm Edwards suggested last week that, even if Abraham didn't report until the week before the opener at Kansas City on Sept. 11, he might play in the game.
One of the Jets' four choices in the first round of the 2000 draft, Abraham has been the club's most consistent sack threat most of his career. In 57 games, he has 221 tackles and 43 sacks, and registered double-digit sacks in both 2001 and 2002.
The former South Carolina star has been hindered by injuries, though, the past two years, and has appeared in only 19 games in that stretch.
"I'm in shape, I've been working since the season was over
with," Abraham told The Associated Press. "Obviously I had an injury last year, I had
to rehab my knee and work on my body. It's been a long offseason,
but it's been a very positive offseason. Hopefully I can stay
healthy for 16 games. That's my only problem in the NFL so far.
When I'm on the field, I've been a force."

Much of the public thinks of a soldier's return home as a joyous time for the veteran and his or her family, but the reality can be more complicated, said Jacob Remo, the commander of a Jewish War Veterans post near Boston and a member of JWV's Health Initiatives Committee.
The transition from war to peace is often difficult as roles change within the family, as the soldier returns to work or looks for a new job and as civilian life begins anew, Remo said, adding that all members of the family feel the stress.
It's to help address just such scenarios that the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, a network of 15 hospitals and other facilities, recently launched the Florence and Robert A. Rosen Family Wellness Center. The center, inaugurated at North Shore-LIJ's corporate headquarters in Great Neck, L.I., will offer behavioral health treatment at no cost to military veterans, law enforcement officers and their families.
Officials of North Shore-LIJ, an agency of UJA-Federation of New York, describe the program as groundbreaking, providing family-focused services that are available nowhere else. The services will include individual, group and marital counseling; mental health workshops and referrals. The workshops will take place at military and law enforcement installations and within the North Shore-LIJ Health System.
"It's impossible to describe the tremendous emotional and physical burdens faced by our law enforcement and military personal and their families, on a daily basis," said Rear Admiral Robert Rosen, a North Shore-LIJ trustee who co-founded and partially funded the program. "It's unfair to ask these people to guard and protect us and then" — once they return — "not to guard and protect them when they need it."
Rosen is the commanding officer of the New York Naval Militia, the sister organization of the National Guard, and the naval aide to the governor. A resident of Rhinebeck, N.Y., he is also a Yeshiva of Flatbush graduate who, he said proudly, speaks fluent Hebrew.
"I've always felt, as a Jew, that it's my responsibility to take care of human life," Rosen said, suggesting that his Judaism has influenced both his career and his charitable work. "It's part of our culture, a part of our tradition."
That thought was echoed by Rabbi William Kloner, a senior chaplain in the New York Naval Militia, who attended the center's inaugural event.
The center's opening, nearly a month before Memorial Day, comes as the Iraq war enters its fifth year and as concern grows over how the conflict has affected its veterans, both physically and mentally.
The war has produced increasing numbers of amputations and traumatic brain injuries, a consequence of both the advances in battlefield medicine, which has saved soldiers who would have died in previous conflicts, and the booby-trap explosions so common in Iraq. Rather than sustaining the simple bullet or fragment wounds more common in past conflicts, many of those injured in Iraq are returning to the States with wounds so severe that they face a lifelong struggle to cope.
In the area of mental health, military researchers estimate that 12 to 20 percent of Iraq war veterans are showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, a condition that can emerge weeks, months or years after they have returned. The symptoms include nightmares, high anxiety and emotional numbness. Short of post-traumatic stress, many veterans are experiencing other strains in their lives — a problem now being exacerbated by longer and more frequent deployments, experts say.
Any type of deployment can be stressful, even if it's outside of a war zone, said Rabbi Harold Robinson, director of the Jewish Chaplains Council, part of the Jewish Community Centers Association of North America. The deployment can be traumatic "if my daughter had a bat mitzvah and I wasn't there or if my wife had a biopsy and I wasn't there."
"A good 30 percent of the soldiers from Iraq are bringing back some kind of emotional problems, many of which can be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress," said Remo, who, in addition to his involvement with JWV, is a social worker with the Veterans Administration.
Remo, whose job involves treating soldiers with PTSD, explained that people respond to trauma in different ways, some less severely, some more severely, "but everyone is impacted in some way."
While there are no figures on how many local veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress, a spokeswoman at North Shore-LIJ said 4,000 soldiers from New York State have served in Iraq and Afghanistan since those conflicts began — all potential clients of the Rosen Center. New York City has 350,000 veterans, Long Island has 200,000 veterans, and the area has close to 400,000 law-enforcement personnel, she added.
Dr. Sandra Kaplan, the Long Island psychiatrist who directs the center, said the program has served about 200 people in the past few weeks, mostly through educational workshops on local bases in the area. The workshops have focused on such issues as the impact of deployment on military families and the stress involved in reunification, as well as stress management.
The center plans to work closely with the Veterans Administration, whose services to the children, spouses and parents of veterans are limited, Kaplan said.
Robinson welcomed news of the center's creation, saying that soldiers exposed to trauma are better served by talking to professionals "who understand their world." He estimated that between 600 and 700 Jewish veterans have served in Iraq, which he referred to as Operation Iraqi Freedom, its official name.
The center is also likely to be listed with JWV's Health Initiatives Committee, which works to inform the organization's members of resources in the community and, if needed, to help them access those resources, Remo said.
Rosen, meanwhile, said his greatest hope is that the center "becomes an example to others to step forward" and offer similar help.
