Coach Inherits The Green Wave
September 21, 1986
By Marc Narducci, Special to The Inquirer
Mike Narducci waited more than two decades to get a high school head coaching job. For his patience, the first-year Audubon coach has received the Colonial Conference's most demanding early-season schedule and the league's most inexperienced team. After 21 years as an Audubon assistant, including the last 12 as the defensive coordinator, Narducci says he is happy to finally run his own program. Narducci, who replaces Joe Bendorf (70-51-4 in 13 seasons), will work with few familiar faces from last year's 6-3-1 team, which qualified for the South Jersey Group 1 playoffs.
Guard To Protect Green Wave's Chances
December 12, 1990
By Tom Muscheck, Special to The Inquirer
Normally when a coach loses three key seniors off a losing team, it is, at the very least, time to get nervous. But Audubon head coach Alice Borden seems hardly jumpy at all. In fact, Borden is downright optimistic about her squad's chances in this year's Colonial play. For Borden, such apparent peace of mind is spelled E-L-L-E-N, as in Green Wave star senior guard Ellen Cosgrove. "I really think Ellen is going to be the top all-around player in the Colonial this year," Borden said.
Returnees Expected To Help Green Wave
December 14, 1988
By Tom Williams, Special to The Inquirer
Audubon is hoping to take a few steps up the ladder in girls' basketball this year. The Green Wave was in the South Jersey Group 1 final in 1980 and 1983. But Audubon hasn't qualified for the tournament since 1986 and hasn't won a tournament game since 1983. This year the team has good depth, including three returning starters, and a former star has returned to her alma mater as an assistant coach. COACH. Joe Wall begins his fourth season as girls' head coach at Audubon, having compiled a 19-46 mark over the first three.
Green Wave Lacks Height, Experience
December 9, 1990
By Tom Muscheck, Special to The Inquirer
When Audubon basketball coach Don Borden looks at this year's varsity he sees some small guys, some young guys and a big pair of sneakers left unfilled. "We're very small this year, and we're also very young," said Green Wave coach Borden. "The truth is we have nothing but guards on this team. And then, of course, there's Shea. " More precisely, Borden means there is no Shea Harvey, the graduated star guard. Audubon will have to do without Harvey's 18 points per game, not to mention his leadership.
Owls Roll Over The Green Wave
February 23, 1993
by Mike Kern, Daily News Sports Writer
A loss in no way would have ended Temple's chances of making the NCAA Tournament. Likewise, it would be premature to assume the Owls now are in, just because they rolled 16th-ranked Tulane, 79-57, last night at McGonigle Hall. Conventional wisdom suggests that - given strength of schedule and the lofty power rating of the Atlantic 10 - Temple needs 16 wins to secure an at- large bid to the NCAA Tournament, unless it gets in by winning the conference tournament. With four games to go before the A-10 playoffs, the Owls (12-10)
Young Green Wave Hopes To Rise To .500
December 16, 1987
By Gus Ostrum, Special to The Inquirer
Third-year Audubon girls' basketball coach Joe Wall hopes his sport is no longer just a passing interest around his school. The Green Wave has won just 14 of 30 games the last two seasons, but Wall - also a highly successful softball coach - may have succeeded in arousing interest in the once-proud program. Instead of having 9 or 10 varsity and JV players, as he did the last two seasons, Wall now has 16 to choose from. "I can tell you right now that it's a blessing to have some depth on our roster," Wall said.
Green Wave Has New Coach, Optimism
December 11, 1988
By Tom Williams, Special to The Inquirer
Don Borden takes the reins as head coach at Audubon High School this season after serving as an assistant for three years. He will be in a good position because four of the team's top six players are back from last season. The returning veterans may not make that much difference in the Green Wave's overall record, however, because of a tough Colonial Conference schedule. COACH. Borden takes over from Greg Ogden, who coached the Wave the last three seasons. Michael Narducci Jr., the son of Audubon's head football coach, will handle the junior varsity, and Dan Preziosi is the freshman coach.
Green Wave Has Sights Set On Playoffs
December 14, 1986
By Don Hunt, Special to The Inquirer
Audubon High finished with an 11-11 record last season. Greg Ogden, the Green Wave's head coach, believes his club has the talent to break the .500 mark this season. And what's more, Ogden feels Audubon has a chance to be one of the best teams in the Colonial Conference. "I think at the end of last season, we weren't exactly sure how good we could be," Ogden said. "But we had a great summer in the Collingswood Basketball League," where they placed second. "Now, we definitely feel we can make it to the Group 1 playoffs.
Experience And Enthusiasm Key To Green Wave
September 18, 1988
By Donald Hunt, Special to The Inquirer
Audubon coach Mike Narducci didn't have much to cheer about last year. The Green Wave was frustrated all season and finished 2-7. "We certainly have a better team this year," Narducci said. "Our team has a lot of experienced players. The kids have worked extremely hard in practice. In addition, there seems to be quite a bit of enthusiasm. " COACHING. Narducci, in his third year, has compiled a 4-14 record. Narducci's assistants include Greg Francis, secondary and wide receivers; Don Borden, offensive backs and defensive ends; Phil Penza, offensive and defensive linemen, and Hugh Crossan and Cassey Clements, junior varsity.
Graduation Has Left Green Wave Short
December 17, 1986
By Don Hunt, Special to The Inquirer
The Green Wave of Audubon High has only two returning lettermen, prompting coach Joe Wall to concede that he faces an uphill struggle in the Colonial Conference this year. "We lost five seniors from last year's ball club," said the second-year coach. "We really need a strong supporting cast to be competitive in this league. We're going to be playing against some outstanding teams like Sterling, Collingswood and Haddonfield. "It looks like we'll be a guard-oriented team. We certainly won't have a lot of size.

Furlong carries Audubon past Haddon Township
November 28, 2015
By Kate Harman, For The Inquirer
Brian Furlong had trouble falling asleep Wednesday night. As he lay in bed, he worried not only that it would take a while, but that he wouldn't be getting much of it, either. Audubon's quarterback had a lot on his mind. He knew Thanksgiving Day was his last game wearing No. 10 for the Green Wave. Furlong eventually got some shut-eye, but when he woke up, he was still nervous about the rivalry game against Haddon Township. Then the senior went out and put on a great performance.
Temple expects big challenge from Tulane
October 11, 2015
By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
To remain undefeated, Temple must contain a hot quarterback on a team that is coming off its best game of the young season. The Owls (4-0 overall, 1-0 American Athletic Conference) will host Tulane (2-2, 1-0) in Saturday's noon AAC game at Lincoln Financial Field. Last week Tulane earned a 45-31 home win over visiting Central Florida. Tulane sophomore Tanner Lee, who completed 16 of 33 for just 109 yards in last year's 10-3 home loss to Temple, fired four touchdown passes last week.

Tulane's legally blind long snapper breaks new ground
October 8, 2015
By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
Tulane, which plays Temple this weekend, had many big plays Saturday in a 45-31 win over visiting Central Florida, but none had more significance than the last score, a PAT that extended the Green Wave's lead to 45-17 in the fourth quarter. That will always be known as the first college play for long snapper Aaron Golub, a sophomore walk-on. And if he has anything to say about it, there will be more snaps in a career defined by courage. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Golub made a perfect snap as Matthew Wright booted the extra point.

Bowl bid important to Temple seniors
December 7, 2014
By John N. Mitchell, Inquirer Staff Writer
Of the 83 players who have appeared in Temple's 11 games, senior participation has been very scarce. With just eight seniors on the roster, the Owls have the fewest seniors on their roster of any Football Bowl Subdivision team. And of these eight, just five are on the two-deep roster. Receiver Jalen Fitzpatrick and running back Kenneth Harper have played the largest roles. Both were a little melancholy last Saturday after their final home game at Lincoln Financial Field ended in a loss to Cincinnati.
Owls counting on win
December 4, 2014
BY MIKE KERN, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
WHEN TEMPLE beat then-No. 23 East Carolina a month ago, it sure looked as if the Owls would be heading to a bowl game for the first time in three seasons. And they still could be. But they have lost three straight since then, all to teams that are going to a bowl, two of them by one score at home. In fact, all six teams they have lost to have at least six wins. For the Owls to become eligible, they need to win Saturday night's regular-season finale at 3-8 Tulane, in their first trip to New Orleans since they played the Green Wave in the first Sugar Bowl 79 years ago. They probably didn't expect to be in this position after their 4-1 start, with all those wins coming against teams that aren't going to have a postseason.
Audubon girls overcome injuries in record-setting soccer season
November 19, 2014
By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
This has been a season of great accomplishments for the Audubon girls' soccer team, one that has included a school record for wins, the 200th career victory for its head coach and the first sectional title in the 16-year history of the program. One has to wonder: What would have happened if the Green Wave had better health? Despite various injuries along the way, Audubon (19-3) will meet Shore (17-5-1) Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the state Group 1 semifinal at Eastern. One Audubon player who has overcome adversity is Maria Granato, who scored the winning goal with 12 seconds left in a 1-0 South Jersey Group 1 championship win over Haddon Heights.
Audubon advances to S.J. final
November 12, 2014
By Christian Hetrick, Inquirer Staff Writer
Ethan Eppler scored a goal, dished out an assist, and helped the Audubon boys' soccer team make school history Monday. Eppler's two-point effort led the ninth-seeded Green Wave to a 2-0 win at No. 4 Middle Township in the South Jersey Group 2 semifinals. It's the first time Audubon has reached the finals. The win raised the Green Wave's record to 15-7-1. The 15 wins are the most in school history. Audubon started its season 1-4 and was 6-7 at the playoff cut. Since then, the Green Wave have won nine of 10. In the other semifinal: Cinnaminson 4, Woodstown 1 - Mark Staudenmayer netted a hat trick as the No. 3 Pirates beat the No. 2 Wolverines on the road.
Audubon, Fadio emerging this season
October 17, 2014
By Chris Melchiorre, For The Inquirer
Chelsea Fadio remembers the moment she found out about the Audubon girls' soccer scoring record. It was about 20 minutes before she broke it. "I walked up to my mom to get my drink at halftime," Fadio said. "And she told me I was one goal away. "I figured I should probably go out and try to score a goal. " She did. In a Sept. 29 win over Sterling, Fadio, just a junior, netted the 58th goal of her career, making her Audubon's all-time leading goal-scorer, breaking a mark set in 2003 by Noelle Bissinger.

They replaced the stairways with big wide ramps, so Trigger could clop between floors easily.
...and that's exactly what he would say to an audience that's completely guided by their emotions. Those who use a little bit more than their reptilian brains might say, "That's true, and those who are hurting the most live in places occupied by, and run by the Democrat Party, places like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Boston, New York, Miami and Los Angeles!"
Wasn't this the dinner that the "commoner" was supposed to be at, along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, she of "Devil Wears Prada"-inspiration infamy?
I wonder how that all went.
Randall Flagg made his first official appearance in the 1978 apocalyptic novel The Stand. In it, he is trying to build a civilization in his name in the United States after a plague has killed off most of the population. Flaggs backstory is vague, unknown even to him Flagg states that at some point he just became although he has memories of being a Marine, a Klansman, and a Viet Cong member, as well as having a hand in the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. Stationed in Las Vegas, Flagg attracts people who are drawn to destruction, power and fascism. Flagg uses crucifixion, torture, and other torments as punishment for those who are disloyal. His followers reorganize the society, and rebuild the city. Flagg plans to attack and destroy the other emerging civilizationMother Abagail's "Free Zone" in Boulder, Coloradoto become the dominant society in the former United States.[1]
Anyone recall that speech he gave a while ago where he stated while others may suffer economically but he wasn't worried about himself or his family? They would be ok.
It's just a matter of feeding both their egos and their false righteousness.
They "care" about "the little people", mostly just in words and policy support. This is their way of deeming themselves righteous, and it doesn't require any repentance or recognition of their depraved state.
Protest: Not all New Yorkers were delighted to see Mr Obama visit the city on Thursday
Some people came up with creative slogans for their placards ahead of Obama's visit to Greenwich Village
Good work by whoever they are.

It is amazing the Hollyweirdos have $40K to spend to get the Obaminator elected, so he can take money from the middle class. Maybe they should put on a few fundraisers to directly help the poor and laid off workers. Think anyone would show up?
who could eat sitting across from horseface and obooboo?
the villian from the titantic?
$40K for a Hollywierd dinner only gets you Carrots, Apples, Oats and a couple sugar cubes.
Pray for America
The bottom line is they love all the access to the White House, air force 1 and other government goodies that Obama provides for them. The parties, the power. Hollywood lefties are pigs. They don't really care about anyone but themselves.
They are the shallow villains they play in the movies.
"Pres Obama said he knows there are "still a lot of people hurting out there...we constantly remind ourselves how much more we have to do."
His answer, run to Sarah Jessica Parker's house for more money.
There really are two Americas.
Thanks for pointing that out to us BO.
We need to protect ourselves against those Hollywood types. Redistribute THEIR wealth as they obviously have too much. Stop seeing their movies or buying their clothes or magazines.

Research is needed to understand parental factors influencing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, particularly in groups with a higher burden of cervical cancer.
To determine correlates of HPV vaccination among a sample of low-income parents of age-eligible daughters (aged 9–17 years) who called the 2-1-1 Helpline. Secondary analyses describe potential differences in HPV vaccination correlates by Hispanic and black parent groups, specifically.
This 2009 cross-sectional feasibility survey of cancer prevention needs was conducted in Houston at the 2-1-1 Texas/United Way Helpline. In 2012, to examine the association between parental psychosocial, cognitive, and decisional factors and HPV vaccination uptake (one or two doses), bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted for minority parents and for Hispanic and black parent groups, separately.
Lower rates of HPV vaccination uptake were reported among minority daughters of 2-1-1 callers (29% overall) compared with national and Texas rates. In final adjusted analysis, factors positively associated with HPV vaccination uptake included being offered the vaccination by a doctor or nurse, belief that the vaccine would prevent cervical cancer, and Hispanic ethnicity. Secondary analyses detected differences in factors associated with vaccination in Hispanic and black groups.
Findings indicate low levels of vaccination among 2-1-1 callers. Increased understanding of determinants of HPV vaccination in low-income minority groups can guide interventions to increase coverage. Because 2-1-1 informational and referral services networks reach populations considered medically underserved, 2-1-1 can serve as a community hub for informing development of and implementing approaches aimed at hard-to-reach groups.
In 2012, a total of 12,170 U.S. women are expected to be diagnosed and 4220 deaths are expected from cervical cancer.1 Compared with non-Hispanic whites (NHWs), Hispanic and black women have higher cervical cancer incidence rates (70% and 39% higher than NHWs, respectively), and higher mortality rates (48% and 100% higher than NHWs, respectively).2, 3 Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) provides an important prevention tool to help decrease cervical cancer in medically underserved populations. Although HPV does not pose a health problem for most people, persistent HPV infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer. For girls and young women (aged 9–26 years), recommended HPV vaccination can prevent infection from high-risk types that cause an estimated 70% of cervical cancers.4, 5
Since HPV vaccination recommendations were established, few studies have examined parental factors influencing vaccination uptake (one or two doses) among low-income minority populations. In a 2007 review of HPV vaccine acceptability among U.S. parents, Brewer and Fazekas6 identified 28 studies and reported that parents found the vaccine acceptable if (1) they believed it was effective; (2) a physician recommended it; and (3) they felt that the risk of HPV infection was likely. One study reported predictors of vaccine acceptability by race and ethnicity, and found no differences.7
In a 2010 review of parents HPV vaccination acceptability, Fernandez et al.8 found parent populations had low knowledge of HPV, high willingness to vaccinate daughters (70%–85%), and varying acceptance of the vaccine related to health beliefs and attitudes. The Fernandez review also highlighted the dearth of studies examining differences in acceptability of vaccination across racial/ethnic groups.8 Since these reviews, additional studies conducted in the U.S. have examined racial/ethnic minority parents' HPV and HPV vaccination knowledge and awareness,9, 10 attitudes and beliefs regarding HPV vaccination,9–12 and provider-related recommendations.9, 12
Because 2-1-1 helplines represent a unique opportunity to reach large numbers of medically underserved people,13 the current study examined parent-level factors associated with vaccination among a low-income minority population. This study also assessed the feasibility of partnering with the 2-1-1 Texas/United Way Helpline to conduct a cancer needs assessment survey of callers. Results from this feasibility study will inform larger studies, and ultimately, intervention program strategies that could be implemented through a 2-1-1 helpline-based program.
To identify parent-level factors associated with HPV vaccination in groups with a higher burden of cervical cancer, a survey was conducted of low-income parents of daughters (aged 9–17 years) identified through the Greater Houston Area 2-1-1 Helpline. This helpline serves primarily socioeconomically and medically vulnerable people seeking information to help meet basic needs (e.g., assistance with food, medical/prescriptions, utilities, or shelter).13,14 To understand correlates of HPV vaccination among minority parents, this study described minority parent-level correlates of HPV vaccination of daughters, and explored correlates of HPV vaccination by Hispanic and black groups separately.
This cross-sectional HPV vaccination study was embedded in a larger cancer prevention pilot study conducted during a 6-week period (September to October 2009). The larger survey assessed cancer prevention needs of 2-1-1 callers in collaboration with the 2-1-1 Texas/ United Way Helpline. Nationally, 2-1-1 helplines are staffed with professional information and referral specialists (specialists), trained to respond to callers' needs using computerized referral databases of local and affordable health and social services. The United Way of Greater Houston 2-1-1 serves a 13-county area, and received over 732,500 calls for help in 2009.14 In addition, many nonprofit and governmental agencies work with 2-1-1 Texas and the United Way to identify services to help their clients.
Standard procedures for 2-1-1 calls were followed, in which all calls randomly come into the 2-1-1 helpline and are answered by the next available specialist, who assesses callers' needs and provides community referrals. After completing these standard 2-1-1 procedures, ten specialists transferred all eligible callers to the designated specialists, depending on their availability to take the call. Two of the dedicated specialists, trained to implement the study consent and survey protocols, consented and surveyed callers. This protocol helped to manage overflow so that callers were not waiting a long time on the phone to answer survey questions. This protocol ensured that all eligible callers had an equal chance of being invited, helping to achieve recruitment of a random group of callers.
Callers were eligible if they were aged ≥18 years, spoke English or Spanish, called from within the targeted service area, were not in distress, and did not call on behalf of another adult. For this study, additional criteria included having a daughter aged 9–17 years and being self-identified as Hispanic or black. Responses were entered directly into a web-based survey, and responses were recorded anonymously. No study incentives were offered for participation. Parents with girls aged 9–17 years who needed HPV vaccination(s) were referred to clinics offering vaccination through the Texas Vaccines for Children Program. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects approved the study protocol and procedures.
This study's primary outcome variable was HPV vaccination uptake, defined as having one or two HPV vaccines. Daughters' HPV vaccination status was assessed through parent report. Next, sociodemographic, economic, and psychosocial constructs were assessed. A set of 26 HPV questions were developed and pretested by the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) workgroup through cognitive interviewing methods,15 and integrated into the 2-1-1 pilot survey. Hypothesized correlates of HPV vaccine uptake were identified through existing literature and guided by the integrated theoretic model described by Fishbein.16
While this study did not propose to test a conceptual model, variable selection was informed by the conceptual framework of HPV vaccination proposed in the Fernandez review.8 The framework describes the influence of environmental factors on behavior, with environmental including personal, organizational and community/society-related factors.8 For the present study, item analysis was conducted on the 26 items identified. Data analyses were conducted in 2012. After eliminating items with little variance and those with low item-total correlations, the scale consisted of 16 items: HPV knowledge and perceptions (five items; heard of HPV, heard of the vaccine, believes HPV can cause cervical cancer, believes it can be passed through sexual contact, believes the vaccine is most effective when given before initiation of sexual activity); social norms (one item; other parents in my community have their daughters receive the vaccine); barriers/benefits to vaccination (four items; if my daughter gets the vaccine it may cause future health problems, getting the vaccine may cause problems getting pregnant later, if my daughter gets the vaccine she may be more likely to think it's okay to have sex, your daughter getting the vaccine would be a good idea); severity/susceptibility (two items; compared to other girls, what are your daughter's chances of getting HPV; getting HPV would be a serious problem for your daughter); and vaccine efficacy (two items; how effective is the vaccine at preventing HPV, how effective is the vaccine at preventing cervical cancer).
Provider-related factors included two items (daughter offered the vaccine by doctor or nurse and discussed the vaccine with daughter's doctor). The final subset of 16 HPV-related questions included psychosocial and decisional (parent–provider communication) constructs. Tables 1–3 include response scales for items.
Chi-square analyses were used to describe parents' overall sociodemographic, and HPV-related psychosocial constructs. In secondary analysis, outcomes were examined by Hispanic and black parent groups, separately. The primary analysis examined associations between independent variables and HPV vaccination uptake for all participants combined.
Bivariate analyses with p-value <0.10 was used as the criterion to select variables for multivariable analyses. Variables selected for the final model were tested for multicollinearity. Any predictors with low tolerance and high variance inflation factors were dropped from the model. In multivariable analyses, odds of daughter's vaccination were estimated using a stepwise logistic regression, adjusted by factors significantly associated with HPV vaccination initiation in unadjusted analyses (p-value <0.10) after ruling out multicollinearity.
A secondary analysis described correlates of HPV vaccine uptake separately for Hispanics and black parents. Bivariate analyses with p-value <0.10 was used to select variables for the multivariable model and multivariable analyses for each group (Hispanic and black parents). All data analyses were conducted using SPSS 19.
A total of 99 parent participants reported having a daughter aged 9–17 years living at home with them, 90% of whom reported their race/ethnicity. The majority of parents identified as Hispanic or black (47% and 43%, respectively), only 3.4% reported non-Hispanic white ethnicity, and 7% identified as Other. Most parents participating were women (n=73; 91%), and 43% of parents reported having no health insurance.
Among the Hispanic parents, 45% completed the survey in Spanish. Overall, 29% of girls had received at least one HPV vaccination, 31% (n=13) of Hispanic and 26% (n=10) of black preadolescent/ adolescent daughters. This difference was not significant (x2(1)=0.209, p=0.65). Only 7.5% of girls received all three doses (n=2 in the black sample; n=4 in the Hispanic sample).
Overall, among all parents, eight factors were positively associated with daughter's HPV vaccination status in unadjusted bivariate analyses (p<0.10): heard of HPV, heard of HPV vaccine, belief that the vaccine will prevent cervical cancer, belief that the vaccine was most effective before onset of sexual activity, belief that having daughter vaccinated would be a good idea, compared to other girls daughter has more chance/about the same chance of getting HPV, whether they had discussed the vaccine with daughter's doctor, and whether a doctor or nurse offered the vaccine. Belief that the vaccine may cause future health problems was negatively associated with vaccination in adjusted analysis (Table 1).
Due to multicollinearity, two variables were dropped: belief that having daughter vaccinated would be a good idea and belief that the HPV vaccine may cause future health problems. The following variables were statistically and positively associated with vaccination uptake in multivariable analysis: being offered the vaccination by a doctor or nurse, belief that the vaccine would prevent cervical cancer, and Hispanic ethnicity (Table 2).
Within the Hispanic group, four factors were positively associated with daughter's vaccination status in unadjusted bivariate analyses (p<0.10): heard of HPV vaccine, belief that the vaccine was most effective before onset of sexual activity, having discussed the vaccine with their daughter's doctor, and having been offered the vaccine by a doctor or nurse. However, in the fully adjusted model, whether a daughter was offered the HPV vaccine by a doctor or nurse was the only significant determinant of daughter's vaccination status (Table 3).
Within the black group, four factors were positively associated with daughter's vaccination status in unadjusted bivariate analyses (p<0.10): perceived efficacy that the vaccine would prevent cervical cancer, perceived susceptibility of daughter getting HPV compared with other girls, whether they had discussed the vaccine with their daughter's doctor, and whether they had been offered the vaccine by a doctor or nurse. Belief that getting the vaccine might cause future health problems for their daughter was negatively associated with daughters' uptake of HPV vaccine. Due to high multicollinearity, belief that HPV prevents cervical cancer was dropped. In the fully adjusted model for black parents, discussing the vaccine with their daughters' doctors was a significant and positive determinant, while belief that the vaccine could cause future health problems was a significant and negative determinant of daughter's vaccination uptake (Table 3).
Human papillomavirus vaccination uptake rates overall (29%), and among Hispanic (31%) and black (26%) girls, were similar to HPV vaccination uptake rates among Hispanic (33%) and black girls (24%) reported in a Los Angeles–based study conducted in a low-income minority population.10 In the current final adjusted multivariable analysis, Hispanic ethnicity, provider recommendation, and perceived efficacy of the vaccine to prevent cancer all increased the odds of daughters' vaccination. Among Hispanic parents, having a health provider offer the vaccine was the only correlate of HPV vaccination. Among black parents, discussing the HPV vaccine with their daughters' doctor increased the odds of vaccination, while belief that the vaccine may cause future health problems decreased vaccination odds.
In the current study, the association found between a healthcare provider's recommendation and uptake of HPV vaccination may have important implications for future interventions. For example, while 74% of Hispanic and 64% of black parents reported they would have their daughter vaccinated if a doctor recommended it, only 31% of Hispanic and 40% of black parents reported a health provider recommendation. In addition, lower proportions of Hispanics (26%) than blacks (42%) reported discussing the HPV vaccine with their daughter's provider.
The potential influence of healthcare providers highlights an opportunity to increase vaccination rates in underserved populations through recommendations delivered by alternative sources, such as information and referral specialists at 2-1-1 helplines. This type of innovative approach could help reduce barriers to receiving recommendations and increase use of preventive services. Larger studies are needed to corroborate the current findings.
The current findings are similar to previous research that examined factors associated with daughters' HPV vaccine uptake in minority populations.9, 10, 12 Bastani et al.10 also reported parent awareness (having heard of HPV) as a correlate of HPV vaccine uptake. Reiter et al.12 examined minority parental factors associated with HPV vaccination initiation, and similar to the current findings, reported that perceived harm of the vaccine was negatively associated with vaccination initation.12 While the Reiter study found that among the black subgroup, daughters had a higher odds of initiating the HPV vaccine if the doctor recommended it (versus not recommending), this finding differs slightly from the current finding, in which discussion of vaccination with a doctor, rather than recommendation, was positively associated with HPV vaccination initiation.
Study strengths include a demonstration of the feasibility of using 2-1-1 helplines to understand the health needs of hard-to-reach, low-resource, and medically underserved minority populations. The collaborative effort with the Greater Houston 2-1-1 Helpline provided access to a socioeconomically disadvantaged population and enabled in-depth examination of their HPV vaccination behaviors. Moreover, implementation of this telephone-based survey to both English and Spanish speakers increased access to hard-to-reach low-literate and Spanish-speaking-only populations. Future studies, including prospective studies, in larger low-income Hispanic and black populations are needed to further understand potential culturally or economically mediated barriers and facilitators that influence HPV vaccination.
Limitations of the study include self-report measures, study design and small sample size, which limit generalizability. Because it is a cross-sectional study, no causality of associations may be inferred. Greater statistical power would have increased the ability to detect differences between constructs and HPV vaccination outcomes, and differences between the two minority groups. A known limitation of using self-report measures is the possibility of socially desirable answering. An effort was made to control for this by ensuring anonymity, and participation did not require follow-up information to be obtained from callers.
Due to the inherent nature of calls, the low participation rate was an expected limitation. Many callers needed to address pressing problems and had limited time to participate in the survey (e.g., were on lunch break or with children). No examination was made of information on daughter age-specific barriers to vaccination decision-making due to the small sample. However, understanding differences by age of daughter would be important as prior studies have shown greater reluctance by parents to vaccinate younger daughters.17, 18
Finally, it was not possible to examine completion of the three-dose vaccine series as an outcome due to low vaccination uptake in this population. Both initiation and completion outcomes are important. The uptake of at least one dose is important to understand issues of vaccination acceptance and barriers, for example. Larger studies are needed to understand the various predictors of completion of the three-dose series.
This survey served as a feasibility study to understand potential for future collaborations with the 2-1-1 helpline. In a 6-week period, 375 participants were reached and surveyed, 80 of whom were Hispanic and black parents of adolescent daughters. Based on ability to integrate this cancer risk assessment survey into 2-1-1-calls, this work has been built on to conduct a 2-1-1 information and referral specialist–delivered cancer prevention project consisting of a risk assessment and referrals for affordable prevention services across multiple behaviors (e.g., mammography, colorectal cancer screening, Pap, and HPV vaccination).
Ultimately, given the high volume of 2-1-1 callers with self-identified basic needs, a cancer prevention program integrated into the Greater Houston 2-1-1 Helpline system has the potential to deliver health prevention messages and support to help connect large numbers of medically underserved callers to cancer prevention services. The collaborative effort targets vulnerable groups who have increased barriers to primary health care (e.g., lack of health insurance)19, and consequently less opportunity to receive doctors' recommendations for preventive screenings or vaccination. This collaborative effort between public health researchers and the Greater Houston 2-1-1 Helpline system demonstrates a potential to be replicated in other 2-1-1's across Texas and nationally.

Sonney, Smith see clear paths to general election in Pennsylvania House race
Curt Smith has already won his first challenge as a candidate for the state House in the 4th District.
In April, a Commonwealth Court judge upheld the Democrat's nominating petitions after two people challenged the validity of some of the signatures.
"I was confident from the beginning that the petitions would be upheld," Smith, 35, said. "The matter didn't put me behind in campaigning and it actually helped me get my name out there."
Smith, 35, of Harborcreek Township, is unopposed in the Democratic primary and is expected to face state Rep. Curt Sonney in the Nov. 4 general election. The term is for two years and the position pays $84,012 annually.
Sonney, a Republican, is seeking a sixth term in office. The 56-year-old Harborcreek resident is unopposed in the Republican primary.
"Not having a primary opponent speaks favorably of (area state representatives) with our parties," Sonney said. "But I'm still going door to door and going to community events."
Sonney has spoken out on issues affecting the district, including the scuttled Erie Rail Terminal project. He said that while the project might have brought more jobs to the district, he feared it also would have increased traffic significantly on some of Harborcreek's main roads.
But Sonney said job growth is always on his constituents' minds.
"Not a specific employer but a specific income range," Sonney said. "People want family-sustaining jobs. We need a well-educated workforce. Employers don't want to train employees. They want them to come in and do the job."
Smith, who is vice president of the Harbor Creek School Board and a grocery team leader for Giant Eagle at Yorktown Centre, said public education is his main campaign issue.
"The state cut $9.5 million out of our system and it placed a huge burden on our taxpayers," Smith said. "Each year it's a struggle for the school district to come up with a budget with these limits in place. Something needs to be done in Harrisburg."

Release (music)
|This article does not cite any sources. (October 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In the music industry, a release usually is a creative output from an artist, available for sale or distribution; a broad term covering the many different formats music can be released in, and different forms of pieces (singles, albums, extended plays, etc.).
The word can also refer to the event at which an album or single is first offered for sale in record stores. Also an album launch, or single launch.[citation needed]
Musical performers often self-release (self-publish) their recordings without the involvement of an established record label. While some acts who enjoy local or small scale popularity have started their own labels in order to release their music through stores, others simply sell the music directly to customers, for example, making it available to those at their live concerts. With the growth of the Internet as a medium for publicizing and distributing music, many musical acts have sold their recordings over the Internet without a label. Unlike self-publishing a novel, which is usually done only when no other options exist, even well-established musicians will choose to self-release recordings. Music managers are increasingly getting involved in such releases and with the advent of artist management labels which have stepped in to save the situation. In Kenya, for example, most record labels only handle production thus leading to a situation where records are less marketed and this has prompted music companies like Grosspool Music to sign independent artists and manage their branding, releases and marketing.[citation needed]

One year ago, new general manager Scott Pioli took the reigns of a once proud team coming off the losingest season in its history.
Pioli brought in a young new head coach fresh off a Super Bowl appearance as offensive coordinator in Todd Haley. He also made moves to acquire veteran players with winning resumes like Mike Vrabel and Matt Cassel, prompting many to label the Chiefs "New England West."
Most importantly, Pioli set out to reconstruct a deteriorating Chiefs roster in dire need of a talent infusion through not only the draft, but through free agent acquisitions like Chris Chambers.
Now, coming off a season where the Chiefs doubled their win total and ended the year with a 44-24 rout of rival Denver, Pioli has added even more pieces to the puzzle in hopes of getting the team back to the playoffs in 2010.
New to the team are all-star coordinators Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel, along with a new batch of young, talented draft picks who should play big roles on this 2010 Chiefs team.
Here are the five training camp competitions that could determine just how much closer this team gets to getting back in the playoffs in 2010.

5.3 V8 engine that now has 126k miles.
I have heard it upon first start up since about 40000 miles. It disappears quickly but worries me a bit since any noise usually indicates wear. The longer the vehicle sits before driving the more the tapping occurs. It does not seem to occur if I drive it several times a day except upon the first start up of the day.
I took it to a dealer some time ago and they said that it was because the shop where I had the oil changed had used a cheap filter and I should switch to a GM oil filter. I did switch and it seemed to help some but the noise is still there and the dealer now says it is normal.
Anyone else have a similar issue or any idea if it is indeed the quality of the oil filter?
Thanks for any info.
Ron T
There was a TSB for a redesigned oil pick up or pump gasket or seal, that could cause this, check alldata.com or your Chev dealer for a tsb for cold start tappet noise.
The noise you are hearing is caused by piston slap. This is caused by too loose tolerances on the piston skirt and goes away when the engine heats up and the piston expands. Go to pistonslap dot com if you want more info.
Ron Truitt wrote:
You need a different dealer. There are some reasons not to use a cheap filter but this ain't one of them. Brian's answer is the right one. Some trucks are notorious for piston slap and there's no cure. GM won't fix it, so you just got to live with the noise.
Nearly every V8 gas engine in the Chevy truck line from this era (1999 to 2003) has piston slap. The dealer he brought it to knew exactly what they were hearing...they like to pretend it doesn't exist. One needs to be firm with the dealer and make demands.
In some cases GM has fixed the problem, so to say "there's no cure" is false. In states with the lemon law, Chevy and GMC owners that brought their truck back to the dealer for repairs enough actually had their engines replaced as it was an on going defect that the dealerships couldn't repair...General Motors kept this information very hushed.
My father's complaints went to the regional office where he was "given" a 100,000 transferable warranty on his 6.0 l engine. My 5.3 V8 had it too; I simply ignored it. At 126,000 miles there isn't anything you can complain about...now you have to live with it. I ran Mobil 1 synthetic in my 5.3 and that helped quite alot.
Thanks fellas. Looks like I am nailed. It must not be too far off in tolerance or the engine would have already worn out. But I may be smart to get rid of the truck before putting too many more miles on it.
Ron T
don't worry about it. My 2000 Sierra with the 4.8 had been doing that you over 5 years now and still runs like new.
The wife's 2000 Grand Prix 3.1L did it, our 2000 impala 3.4L did it, and the 2005 Impala 3.4L we have now does it. Never had any problems with any of them. The 2000 Impala had 118, 000 miles on it and it ran great, just made noise the first 30-40 seconds it was running when cold.
The cause is the short piston skirts used in these newer engines.

Stevenson: I'm A Kronk Fighter, We Think Knockout
By Jake Donovan
It's been more than 18 months since Emanuel Steward passed away, but his spirit forever resonates in the lives of all of the people he's touched through the years. You can count lineal light heavyweight king Adonis Stevenson among the fighters who believes the Hall of Fame trainer still resides in his corner in every fight.
Steward didn't make it long enough to watch Stevenson win the World light heavyweight championship, which the southpaw achieved with a spectacular one-punch 1st round knockout of Chad Dawson last June. The third defense of his title comes this weekend in Montreal, as Stevenson squares off against Top 10 contender Andrzej Fonfara (Saturday, Showtime, 9:00PM ET).
By his own admission, Stevenson (23-1, 20KO) knows very little about his challenger, who was born and raised in Poland but now trains out of Chicago. All he knows is how he is going to beat him.
"I'm going to knock him out," Stevenson enthusiastically predicts of his upcoming title defense. "I'm a Kronk fighter. That's how we think. We go in the ring and we think knockout."
That very mindset has led to his past 13 wins ending well inside the distance, though it can be argued it led to the lone loss of his career – a shocking 2nd round knockout at the hands of Darnell Boone in April '10. Stevenson avenged the loss three years later, the first of four wins amidst a Fighter of the Year-level 2013 ring campaign.
Coming up on eight full years as a pro, Stevenson has fought just 93 total rounds, an average of less than four rounds per fight. Recent years – particularly his championship reign – have seen an upgrade in competition, but it hasn't at all slowed down the Haitian-Canadian wrecking ball.
"Usually when the opposition gets better, the knockout ratio drops. Adonis Stevenson continues to knock out people," notes promoter Yvon Michel. "All of the fighters have a strategy when they go into the ring. That strategy goes out the window when they get hit by Adonis."
The remark echoes the sentiments once carried by former heavyweight king Mike Tyson, who once famously quipped that everyone had a game plan until they got punched in the face. It's no small coincidence that Tyson is one of Stevenson's ring idols, and a fighter after whom he models his own fighting style and mental makeup.
"When you watched Mike Tyson fight, you know somebody was going to get knocked out. That's what I'm going to bring to Showtime, a knockout."
Stevenson has won ten straight – all inside the distance – heading into this weekend.

Posted on 08/05/2011 4:27:51 PM PDT by GQuagmire
Two men who were flying the Jolly Roger pirate flag on their boat are facing charges after boarding another boat moored in Gloucester Harbor Thursday night, police said.
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
Maybe Captain Morgan had an influence on the hijinks...
Make em walk the yardarm!
walk the plank , hang from yardarm
You "Walk the plank" or get "Hung on the yardarm"...but I get your drift and like the cut of your jib.
With 2 cowards like that, their boat must have been named "The Raging Queen"
... but was it John Kerry's boat?
He has a purple heart, you know.
As you can see from some of our sea-farin' Freepers, you gotta know the ropes.
Not only that, he was in Viet Nam. Or so he says.
Send them to meet Davey Jones!
Couldn't remember.
Gibbets and crows.
Really? Who knew.
Somehow, I don't think Captain Hooke Silver is going to be of much help in this case. (flash animation)
He told us. He wouldn't lie, he's a Senator. He was also in Cambodia on Christmas, was hand in hand with Algore in inventing the internet, was the model for Goofy in Disneyland, Love story was not written by him but could have been, and he secretly wishes he was a seagull.
Chain him to the "It's al Small World" ride at Disneyland, until he talks.
Maybe two Jolly Rogers who had too much grog?
This is an act of piracy and should be treated as such. If you fly the colors and board other people's property I call that an act of piracy.
I do believe that would constitue "Cruel and Unusual" punishment.
I am really surprised there isn't a charge of drunk boating, as well.
That is cruel and kinda unusual.
I live aboard a small cruising sailboat and having known hundreds of my ilk, can state the the response of a boat owner seeing a stranger set foot aboard uninvited, as similar to the homeowner who sees a bedroom window open and a stranger enter. Even
friends ask for permission aboard out of þoliteness; strangers ignore this courtesy at their peril.

CFP/Appel: Active History Website - Soliciting Papers
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The activehistory.ca (http://www.activehistory.ca) committee is pleased to announce that we are actively soliciting papers in all areas of historical inquiry, including but not limited to several specific targeted areas. We are looking for short papers on important historical topics that might be of interest to policy makers, the media or the general public. Papers (approximately 2,000 - 4,000 words in length) should engage critical issues facing Canadian society, and must be written for a general audience.
Several issues have emerged in the public eye that may benefit from historical analysis; additionally, we have raised some specific questions. Here are some suggestions, although we welcome papers on any time period or topic:
* The Economic Crisis in Context: The media and politicians tend to limit their historical comparisons to the Great Depression and a few of the more recent recessions from the 1970s to the 1990s. Historians may be able to offer other economic crises in both Canadian and international history that might provide better comparisons for our current predicament. What are the problems in comparing this crisis to the 1930s?
* Wages in Historical Context: Huge wage and bonus packages for executives in both the private and public sector, along with the high wages and benefits of some unionized employees, have dominated the headlines in the past few months. How have wages changed over time? How much has the gap between the rich and the poor increased?
* The 2010 Vancouver Olympics and the G8 Summit in Historic Context: How have urban or regional spectacles in the past fueled development or a relationship with local communities? How do we balance the promise and reality of mega projects (such as the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Expo '67 or any other large commemorative event or spectacle)? What is the enduring impact on infrastructure development and change?
* The North: The North is an increasingly major issue in Canada as global warning opens up resource extraction and shipping. Arctic sovereignty is becoming an increasingly important issue. We are looking for historical papers on a wide range of topics from social, economic to political.
We are also interested in papers on a variety of topics, the whole list of which can be found at http://activehistory.ca/papers/themes/ . Our editorial guidelines can be found at http://activehistory.ca/papers/editorial-guidelines/ . Papers should be submitted to email@example.com.
ActiveHistory.ca is a new website to help connect historians with the public, policy makers and the media. This is part of an effort to facilitate and disseminate the ideas developed at the conference "Active History: History for the Future" at York University's Glendon College in September 2008.
We define active history variously as history that listens and is responsive; history that will make a tangible difference in people's lives; history that makes an intervention and is transformative to both practitioners and communities. We seek a practice of history that emphasizes collegiality, builds community among active historians and other members of communities, and recognizes the public responsibilities of the historian.
If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

G-20 Leaders Commit to Tackle Energy and Climate Change
25 September 2009: Leaders of countries representing 85 percent of the world's economy agreed on commitments on climate change and energy, among others, during the G-20 Summit held on 24-25 September 2009, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon addressed the G-20 leaders on 25 September 2009, stressing that "recovery and sustainable development are, and will continue to be, undermined by accelerating climate change." He called on leaders to support and go beyond the proposal for a climate finance package of US$100 billion per year during the next decade, from a combination of public and private sources. Secretary-General Ban further urged G-20 leaders to agree on principles and options for managing and delivering these funds "well before Copenhagen."
The Summit outcome document – the G-20 Leaders' Statement – contains a section on energy and climate. On energy, leaders committed to: increase energy market transparency and market stability; improve regulatory oversight of energy markets; rationalize and phase out over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption; stimulate investment in clean energy, renewables and energy efficiency; and provide financial and technical support for such projects in developing countries. They also agreed to take steps to facilitate the diffusion or transfer of clean energy technology, noting that the reduction or elimination of barriers to trade and investment should be pursued on a voluntary basis. On climate change, leaders committed to take "strong action to address the threat of dangerous climate change" and to intensify efforts, in cooperation with other parties, to reach agreement on mitigation, adaptation, technology and financing in Copenhagen.
In the concluding section of the Statement ("The Path from Pittsburgh"), leaders "designated the G-20 as the premier forum for international economic cooperation" and agreed to future meetings in June 2010 (Canada), November 2010 (Korea) and 2011 (France).

Writings on pediatric subjects go as far back as the aphorisms of Hippocrates, the works of Soranus in the second century, and to Rhazes' Practica puerorum1 in the ninth century. In those early days, they were rare and sketchy and, after Rhazes' time, were based largely on his work. While the troubles of children were mentioned briefly by many other early writers, it was not until the 16th century that a separate treatise appeared in English as Thomas Phaer's Boke of Children,2 which was heavily indebted to Rhazes, and not until the latter part of the 18th century did pediatric books begin to become more available. One important exception to this statement was Walter Harris' De morbis acutis infantum,3 published in Latin in London just before the beginning of the 18th century and running through many editions and translations, including two in English in the midcentury (1742).

Trust and Betrayal in the Workplaceby Dennis S. Reina Michelle L. Reina
More than ever, there is a need for trust in the workplace. After all, business is conducted via relationships, and trust is the foundation to effective relationships. Yet, trust means different things to different people and this is a big part of the problem. Collectively drawing on thirty years of research and experience with organizations around the world, Dennis and Michelle Reina put people on the same page. The Reinas provide a simple and comprehensive approach that works! Their approach outlines a common language to discuss trust constructively, identifies specific behaviors that build and break trust, and it describes steps for rebuilding trust and sustaining it over time, even during periods of change. Trust takes time to develop; it is easy to lose and hard to regain. It is a fragile yet indispensable element in any relationship. Betrayal, or the loss of trust, is the focus of countless fiscal scandals, all of which ultimately resulted from a lapse in trust. However, it is not just these major lapses of integrity that break trust. Trust is broken in subtle ways every day in every workplace. As a result, countless numbers of people in the workplace today are in pain, and many organizations are hurting. After years of constant change--downsizing, restructuring, or of mergers and acquisition--trust among people in organization is at an all-time low. We have all felt the pain of a breach of trust or even a betrayal during the course of our working careers. Unmet expectations, disappointments, broken trust, and betrayals aren't restricted to big events like restructurings and downsizings. They crop up every day on the job. The Reina's show us the shape and form betrayal takes, its impact on relationships and performance, and most importantly what we can do to rebuild trust. Trust & Betrayal in the Workplace helps us see the natural role trust and betrayal plays in our lives, how we can rebuild trust and transform workplace relationships. It provides new examples, highly practical tips, tools, and exercises to help readers create work environments where trust grows, where people feel good about what they do, where relationships are energized, and productivity and profits accelerate.
Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace: Building Effective Relationships in Your Organization (2nd edition)by Dennis S. Reina Michelle L. Reina
This book describes the ways that trust in the workplace can enhance worker productivity and increase employees' willingness to take risks, share information, and learn from mistakes. It argues that without trust, contemporary organizations will be unable to take the risks necessary to succeed in the rapidly changing environments of the new global economy. The Reinas both hold PhDs in human and organizational development and work for an organization development research and consulting firm. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
