Syracuse, NY - Two men were in police custody following a fight Wednesday afternoon between two "god brothers" that ended with on of the brothers being stabbed, Syracuse police said.
Stephen Clemons, 24, of 501 Pacific Ave., was stabbed multiple times inside a home at 118 Newbury Hollow Lane, police said, but was uncooperative with police who came to investigate.
Clemons told police he was stabbed by his brother, but would not give police the name and told the police he would take care of it himself.
Weslie Joyce, Clemon's girlfriend, told police Clemons was fighting with his god brother Deon L. Clemons, 18, also of 501 Pacific Ave., when Stephen Clemons announced he had been stabbed.
Police found Deon Clemons at 111 Newbury Hollow Lane.
Deon Clemons said his brother first introduced a knife into the fight and Deon armed himself with two kitchen knives, police said. Stephen Clemons got on top of Deon Clemons at one point in the fight and covered Deon Clemons' mouth with his hands, police said.
Deon Clemons struck Stephen Clemons once in the side at that point, which allowed Deon Clemons to regain his feet, police said. Deon Clemons swung the knife wildly at Stephen Clemons as he tried to leave, police said.
Stephen Clemons suffered cuts to the back of the neck, the left and right lower back, the right abdomen and the right side of his face.
Deon Clemons was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon.
Stephen Clemons was charged with felony criminal possession of a weapon and misdemeanor menacing.

WEEHAWKEN Weehawken honored the nation's fallen soldiers yesterday with the township's annual Memorial Day Parade.
Even with weather that felt more appropriate for the Fourth of July, hundreds gathered along the parade route.
The procession started at 9 a.m. at Highpoint and Gregory avenues and headed north on township streets to Park Avenue; eventually making its way to Boulevard East and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at Hudson Place.
Several memorial wreaths were presented to township veterans organizations.
Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner praised the community for not losing sight of the importance of Memorial Day. The energy to recognize the nation's fallen soldiers is "not fading in Weehawken," he said.
Parade participants included the Marines Jr. ROTC, the Weehawken High School marching band, the N.J. Army National Guard 113th Infantry, and the Marines Jr. ROTC.

Q&A: Bryan Cranston on surprising the CIA and Ben Affleck as a director in 'Argo'
BEVERLY HILLS - It's been a busy year so far for Bryan Cranston. Two films he shot long ago were finally released ("Red Tails" and "John Carter") and he appeared in three big summer releases ("Madagascar 3," "Rock of Ages" and "Total Recall"). Oh, and he just happened to land his fourth Emmy nomination for best actor in recognition for his stellar work as the iconic Walter White in "Breaking Bad." Plus, "Bad" aired eight of its last sixteen episodes to continued critical acclaim (which sort of makes up for the duds "Rock of Ages" and "Total Recall"). In September, he received another gift, Ben Affleck's "Argo."
Cranston has used his newfound notoriety smartly over the past five years. For every "Rock of Ages," he's picked a "Drive" or "Contagion" to spice up the prestige movie credits on his increasingly varied resume. Now, "Argo" may be his best movie showcase to date. As Jack O'Donnell, Cranston plays a composite figure of many different people who assisted Tony Mendez (Affleck) in a mission to help six State Dept. employees hiding out in Iran during the Iran Hostage Crisis escape Tehran. It's a key role in screenwriter Chris Terrio's screenplay, because if McDonnell can't get the White House to reverse course on a last minute decision than Mendez's escape plan is literally dead in the water.
Upon first screening "Argo," it's clear the audience will remember the tense Tehran sequences and Alan Arkin's hilarious turn in the Hollywood scenes. However, upon a second viewing you come to appreciate Cranston's work much more. Affleck and editor William Goldenberg use Cranston's increasing ferociousness to help sell the tension for an outcome we already know. If "Argo" continues to win over the industry and moviegoers as expected, don't be surprised if Cranston's name increasingly comes up in the best supporting actor conversation.
Speaking to Cranston last week, it was clear he was very proud of the film and at the different opportunities he's being given at the moment. You can watch our interview embedded at the top of this post or read the following extended Q&A below.
Q: I know that you did go and meet with some of the people from the CIA and you met with Tony Mendez. What did you learn about that time or just from the CIA in general like that helped inform the role for you?
A: You know, I think by going back to Langley, Virginia and sitting down with these men and women it allowed me to really desensitize myself to the aura that is around the CIA. And what I found is that no one looks like James Bond, no one is like with a cocktail in their hands and this like [NOISE] that I saw. It's a company; it's a corporation. You have your structure and protocols and bureaucracy and [expletive] that you got to deal with. And sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and vice versa. So you cut through all of that and realize that get away from the enormity of it and get to the people. My interest was to kind of break through the veneer of that taciturn exterior and be able to see what effect personally it had on these men and women who, for a living, don't talk too much, and they can't be very revealing. So, how did that affect you personally? How did it affect your marriage? What did you tell your children? How did it affect you physically? Do you – y'know, did you feel its toll? 'Do you guys drink?' I would ask if they drink alcohol. When did that start? So, I was asking all these questions that they probably thought was like, wait a minute, that's not about the CIA. I thought you were going to ask about missions and things, which I was less interested in and more interested in, for me, at that time, in what kind of foundation can I build for Jack because I need to feel comfortable in who I've created in order to present it. Otherwise, that character is still outside of me and I need him to be inside.
Q: Well, when you spoke to them, were they excited about the idea that the CIA was actually being portrayed in a positive light? Because so many times we see like – it's the Bourne movies and they're the bad guys going after our hero or it's so rare that you see the CIA as the heroes in a movie. Even in James Bond, he's the guy who rats Bond out or screws it up. So, did they – were they proud of this moment? Did they seem…?
A: Well, I think – most of them they had not read the script because the script wasn't circulated...
A: Because we wanted to keep it rather closed and it was almost not classified, of course, but those who were – Tony Mendez read the script and a couple others but to help consult on that to guide us away from something that's not the way it is – any time we can possibly portray it accurately, obviously we want to do that. Granted there's theatrical license that must be taken in to consideration. But I think for the most part as is their nature inherently they're skeptical and they weren't completely open and, hey, I'm an open book; ask me whatever. It took a little while to let them know that I'm asking these questions in earnest. I'm asking so that I can give an honest portrayal and not some kind of polished, glossy kind of thing, or to be dishonest in how I do that. I think, and I hope I conveyed that so that the information they were giving me would help to facilitate that.
Q: I just remember when I saw it at Telluride that when people came out and it's a big conversation festival and one of the common refrains were, "I can't remember last time I saw a movie about the CIA where I cheered for them at the end." It was sort of this exciting rare opportunity and I'm curious. You must have been at the premiere in Toronto. Was the reaction to the movie what you expected? Were you surprised to see all these people cheer the – was it sort of the ride you were expecting based on what you had read and shot?
A: Well, when I first saw the movie on the Warner Brothers lot a month or so before Toronto I had that feeling of interior giddiness, thinking that this is an important movie. This is a very well structured movie and it really has remarkable assets. And not the least of which are that the CIA, an organization that is maligned often, was an is heroic in this, and rightfully so because for the most part you have to accept that these men and women dedicate their lives to a higher cause, a higher purpose and in hopes that that's the achievement. That's what they actually do so that when they retire they can say no one knows it, but I was involved in a lot of stuff that got done and we had to settle with just patting ourselves on the back a little bit and that's it.
Q: You'll never know the amount of time ...
A: That's right. When good things happen, and "Argo" allows that type of celebration that this was a selfless act that these men and women did what they do because it's their job but also because it's for the greater good. To save the lives of human beings, there's more noble cause than that.

Slavery in Nepal was abolished only in 1921. Corvée, forced labor, was made illegal in 1952, but survived. It was only in 2000 that various sorts of coerced and bonded labor finally disappeared.
Why Nations Fail
Who's afraid of economic development?
Surely even the most kleptocratic dictator would be in favor of economic development. Economic development means greater income, greater taxes and more stuff to grab, so what's not to like about it? But actually, it often doesn't work that way.

WASHINGTON -- Republican National Committee members from the 14 Southern states voted by acclamation today to hold their quadrennial Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans in early April 2010.
Louisiana Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere called the conference the "kickoff to the election cycle for 2012, and we expect all major presidential candidates to be there, including our own Gov. Jindal."
Gov. Bobby Jindal is often mentioned among the the top GOP presidential prospects for 2012, although he has deflected speculation by saying that he only has plans to run for re-election in 2011.
None of the other Southern states bid for the event. Villere said that was because he had cleared the way ahead of the vote. He said he told members that New Orleans was "ready to hold a party."
Villere said he expects the conference to draw 2,500 to 3,500 people to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The event is scheduled for April 8-10, 2010.

A rotation-activated electronic component, preferably a RFID tag mounted
on or incorporated in a support that is rotated when read, e.g. a CD or
DVD. The RFID tag comprises an antenna, a rotational switch and a
component, advantageously a processor. The antenna is adapted to
transform received RFID signals to electric energy that powers the
component. In a preferred embodiment, the rotational switch is adapted to
cut the circuit unless the support does not rotate at or above a certain
rotational speed. Supports equipped with the RFID tag of the invention
will thus respond only if they rotate sufficiently. This can avoid
collisions in case more than one such RFID tag is within communication
range of an antenna of a reader. In a preferred embodiment, the
information returned by the component is needed for full use of the
content on the support.
1. An electronic device comprising:communication means adapted to interact
with an external device;a power source;a component adapted to process
first information received from the communication means and to send
second information to the communication means, the second information
being intended for the external device; anda switch adapted to enable
communication via the communication means whenever it is subjected to
predetermined rotational speed and disable communication via the
communication means whenever it is not subjected to predetermined
rotational speed.
2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the switch enables communication when the rotational speed is above a threshold value.
3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the component comprises a processor.
4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the communication means is an antenna.
5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the electronic component is a Radio Frequency Identification tag.
6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the antenna is further adapted to function as the power source by transforming Radio Frequency signals to electric energy.
7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the power source is a battery.
8. An information medium adapted to store content and comprising an electronic device according to claim 1.
9. The information medium of claim 8, wherein access to content stored on the information medium is enhanced or enabled by information accessible from the electronic device.
10. The information medium of claim 8, wherein the information medium is an optical disc.
[0001]The present invention relates generally to electronic components, and more particularly to an electronic component that is activated or deactivated by rotation.
[0002]This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art, which may be related to various aspects of the present invention that are described and/or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art.
[0003]Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses an object, an RFID tag (hereinafter "tag"), which interacts with transmitted radio waves, for example in systems for theft prevention, supply chain management or access to buildings. A typical tag comprises at least two parts: an antenna that receives and transmits a radio-frequency (RF) signal, and an integrated circuit that stores and processes information and processes the signal. Some tags, called "active", comprise a battery and are thus autonomous, while "passive" tags have no battery and therefore have to rely on external power, often the received RF signal, in order to function properly.
[0004]U.S. 2008/0307884 describes a non-contact shock sensor, which may be used to detect if an object has been submitted to shocks during transport. The sensor comprises a RFID chip, a conductor loop and a movable mass. When submitted to sufficient acceleration, the mass breaks the loop, which can thereafter be read out via the RFID chip.
[0005]U.S. 2009/0299570 describes a tire module for making tire measurements that, presumably, are sent to a processor in the vehicle on which the tire is mounted. In order to reduce the load on a battery, it is proposed to activate the module only when the tire has reached a predetermined velocity.
[0006]It has also been proposed, for example in WO 2006032613 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,357,005, to use tags on or in digital supports such as CDs and DVDs. This may for example be done in order to protect the content on the digital support (information necessary to access the content is comprised in the tag) or to store preferences regarding the playback of the content.
[0007]While this works well in most cases, there may be problems if there are more than one tag within range of the reader. This may for example be the case when a user puts DVDs on the DVD player, since the tags on these DVDs may be as close as the one in the player. One problem with this, in particular for passive tags, is that the signal power emitted by the reader has to be shared, which may lead to decreased communication quality. A further problem is that it may be difficult for the reader to know exactly which response to take account of. For example, if one DVD returns that it should be played at volume 7 and another DVD requires volume 16, the reader would not know which volume value to choose.
[0008]It can therefore be appreciated that there is a need for a solution that overcomes these problems and allows a reader to interact with the present tag without disturbance from other tags.
[0009]An obvious solution to this problem would be to shield the readers, but the present invention provides a different, surprising solution to the problem, as will be seen in the description of the preferred embodiments hereinafter.
[0010]In a first aspect, the invention is directed to an electronic device comprising communication means adapted to interact with an external device, a power source and a component adapted to process first information received from the communication means and to send second information intended for the external device to the communication means. The electronic device further comprises a switch adapted to enable communication via the communication means when it is subject to predetermined rotational speed and to disable communication via the communication means when it is not subject to predetermined rotational speed.
[0011]In a first preferred embodiment, the switch enables communication when the rotational speed is above a threshold value.
[0012]In a second preferred embodiment, the component comprises a processor.
[0013]In a third preferred embodiment, the communication means is an antenna. The electronic component is advantageously a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. It is also advantageous that the antenna is further adapted to function as the power source by transforming Radio Frequency (RF) signals to electric energy.
[0014]In a fourth preferred embodiment, the power source is a battery.
[0015]In a second aspect, the invention is directed to an information medium adapted to store content and comprising an electronic device according to any of the embodiments of the first aspect.
[0016]In a first preferred embodiment, access to content stored on the information medium is enhanced or enabled by information accessible from the electronic device.
[0017]In a second preferred embodiment, the information medium is an optical disc.
[0018]Preferred features of the present invention will now be described, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
[0019]FIG. 1 illustrates the basic idea of the present invention;
[0020]FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a tag according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
[0021]FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate a first preferred embodiment of a rotational switch;
[0022]FIGS. 4a and 4b illustrate a second preferred embodiment of a rotational switch;
[0023]FIGS. 5a and 5b illustrate a third preferred embodiment of a rotational switch using conductive liquid;
[0024]FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth preferred embodiment of a rotational switch according to the invention; and
[0025]FIGS. 7a and 7b illustrate a medium equipped with a tag according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention
[0026]A main inventive idea of the present invention is the use of a module that is controlled by rotation. An exemplary, non-limitative use that will be used hereinafter is the activation of a tag positioned on an optical medium such as a DVD.
[0027]FIG. 1 illustrates the basic idea of the present invention. A tag 110 is fixed to a rotating support 100, i.e. a support that may rotate. The tag 110 comprises a power source 112, a rotational switch 114 and a component 116 that preferably has processor and memory capabilities, i.e. it comprises a processor and memory. The nature of the power source 112 depends on whether the tag 110 is active or passive. If the tag is active, then it may for example be a battery; if the tag is passive, then it is preferably an antenna that transforms received RF signals to energy. The component 116 uses the energy from the power source 112 to function, e.g. to process RF signals, as discussed hereinbefore. Located between the power source 112 and the component 116 is a rotational switch 114. In a preferred embodiment, the rotational switch 114 is arranged to cut the electric contact between the power source 112 and the component 116 unless it is subject to sufficient rotational speed, as will be further described hereinafter. In a variant embodiment, the rotational switch 114 is on the contrary arranged to cut the electric contact when subject to sufficient rotational speed. It will thus be appreciated that, in the preferred embodiment, the component 116 is not powered if the rotating support does not rotate quickly enough; in the variant embodiment, the opposite applies. Naturally, when the component 116 is powered, it functions as a powered component of a prior art tag would do, notably communicating with a RFID reader.
[0028]The skilled person will appreciate that when the DVD is not rotating (or does not rotate at a sufficient speed), the rotational switch 114 cuts the power supply, which for example can mean that only the DVD in the player will respond (provided that it rotates), while DVDs lying on the player will not, no matter how close to the RFID reader they come. Thus, collisions can be avoided and the signal power can be `reserved` for a single tag.
[0029]FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a tag according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The tag 210, which is fixed to or part of a rotating support 100, comprises a component 116, a power source embodied by an antenna 212, and a rotational switch 214. The antenna 212 is adapted for RF communication, i.e. transmission and reception of RF signals, and as a power supply by transforming RF signal energy to electrical energy. The rotational switch 214 comprises a first part that is movable so as to break the shortcut connection when subject to sufficient rotational energy and to establish the connection when it is not. The skilled person will appreciate that the use of a shortcut connection is preferably only used when the power source is an antenna, but not when it is a battery.
[0030]The skilled person will appreciate that it is also possible to arrange the antenna 212, the rotational switch 214 and the component 116 in series (something that holds true for any suitable embodiment).
[0031]FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate a first preferred embodiment of a rotational switch. The first preferred embodiment, "Idle On", does not power a tag in the absence of rotational energy.
[0032]The rotational switch 114 comprises a housing 310. A first and a second electrode 330, 340 enter the housing 310 but are arranged at a distance from one another. The space between the first and the second electrode 330, 340 can be bridged by a movable conducting connector 350, which is arranged on a spring 360. A weight 320 is arranged on the connector 350, but this weight 320 may naturally be an integral part of the connector 350.
[0033]FIG. 3a shows the situation where no or insufficient rotational speed is imparted on the rotational switch 114. In this case, the connector 350 connects the first and second electrodes 330, 340 thereby causing a short circuit, which in turn means that a component arranged in parallel is not powered. In other words, when the rotational switch 114 does not rotate sufficiently, the component is idle.
[0034]FIG. 3b shows the situation where sufficient rotational speed 370 is applied to the rotational switch 114. The force imparted by the rotation on the weight 320 and the connector 350 is now greater than the opposite force provided by the spring 360. This breaks the contact between the first and second electrodes 330, 340, which means that the short circuit is no longer working. The energy provided by a power source then reaches the component, thereby powering the same.
[0035]FIGS. 4a and 4b illustrate a second preferred embodiment of a rotational switch. The second preferred embodiment, "Idle Off", powers a tag in the absence of rotational energy.
[0036]The rotational switch 414 of the second preferred embodiment resembles that of the first preferred embodiment quite a bit. The housing 310, the first and second electrodes 330, 340, and the weight 320 can be practically the same. However, the connector 450 and the spring 460 are now arranged so that no connection is made in the absence of rotational force. When such force 370 is applied, however, do the weight 320 and the connector 450 press against the opposite force provided by the spring 460, so as to bridge the gap between the first and second connector 330, 340 when the rotational speed 370 is sufficient. This completes the short circuit, thereby depriving a component of the power provided by a power source.
[0037]The skilled person will appreciate that the expressions "Idle On" and "Idle Off" apply when the rotational switch 314, 414 is arranged in parallel with component and that the opposite holds true when the rotational switch 314, 414 is arranged in series therewith.
[0038]FIGS. 5a and 5b illustrate a third preferred embodiment of a rotational switch using conductive liquid. The third preferred embodiment can be "Idle Off" if arranged in parallel with a component and "Idle On", if arranged in series.
[0039]The rotational switch 514 comprises a housing 510 adapted to receive a first and a second electrode 530, 540, each of which is isolated expect at, preferably, the end part 532, 542 located inside the housing 510. The housing 510 also comprises a conductive liquid 550, for example mercury, arranged so that it is in contact with the end parts 532, 542 regardless of the position of the rotational switch 514, as long at it is still or not subject to sufficient rotation. FIG. 5a is for illustrative purposes only; for example, the meniscus caused by the liquids adhesion to the walls of the housing 510 is not shown.
[0040]FIG. 5b illustrates the rotational switch 514 when subjected to sufficient rotational energy 370. As can be seen, the conductive liquid 550 is now `deformed`, thus creating a liquid-free space around the end parts 532, 534, thus breaking the connection between them.
[0041]FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth preferred embodiment of a rotational switch according to the invention. The fourth embodiment is relatively close to the third embodiment. The rotational switch 614 comprises the same features: a housing 610, a first and second electrode 640, 642 with non-isolated end parts 632, 642, and a conductive liquid 650. The main difference is the arrangement of the first and second electrodes 630, 640. In the fourth embodiment, they are arranged in a `radial` way; at sufficient rotation, the second electrode 640 is completely free of liquid 650, while the first electrode 630 still is in contact therewith.
[0042]The speed for closing or opening the contact between the first and second electrodes depends on at least the following factors that can be selected to obtain a desired value: [0043]size of the housing, [0044]fluid amount and viscosity [0045]size and position of the electrodes [0046]distance of the rotational switch from the rotation centre.
[0047]A further example of a rotational switch is found in U.S. 2006/0250923. The rotational switch comprises a cantilever made up of a beam having a mass at its end. The cantilever is arranged, during rotation, to close a circuit from a voltage source to a voltage sensitive region. The voltage source is autonomous, i.e. it generates electricity using only the rotation of the disk. The voltage sensitive region is arranged to change the optical characteristics of the surface of a DVD to ensure that the data stored in the underlying area cannot be read. It will be immediately appreciated that the use of this switch, the DVD equipped with such a switch and indeed the entire technical problem is quite distant from the present invention.
[0048]FIGS. 7a and 7b illustrate a medium 700, e.g. a DVD, equipped with a tag 710 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The medium 700 is within communication range of an antenna 720 of an external device, such as a reader for the medium 700, e.g. a DVD player.
[0049]In FIG. 7a, it is illustrated how the antenna 720 that sends RF energy 722 towards the antenna (not shown) of the tag 710. However, as the medium does not rotate sufficiently to power the component (not shown) of the tag 710, the tag 710 does not respond.
[0050]FIG. 7b, on the other hand, illustrates the case when the medium 700 and its tag 710 are subject to sufficient rotational energy 730 for the rotational switch (not shown) to engage so as to power the component. In this case, when the antenna 720 sends a RF signal 724 to the tag 710, the latter is able to process the information in the signal 724 and send a response 726.
[0051]In a preferred embodiment, the information provided by the tag 710 enables use--possibly enhanced or improved--of the content on the medium 700. To obtain this information, the reader sends a RF signal to the tag that returns the required information. For example, the information may be a decryption key, the result of a computation performed by the tag's component (i.e. its processor), information related to the rendering of the content on the medium (such as volume, language, subtitles), or, in the case of a computer game, information about the current state of the game (such as character equipment and characteristics, available cars and race tracks . . . ).
[0052]It will be appreciated that other types of movement than rotational may be envisaged; any kind of suitable acceleration may act on the switch to enable or disable communication. For example, sufficient linear acceleration in the right direction may act upon the switch illustrated in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B.
[0053]It will be appreciated that the present invention can avoid ambiguity for the reader, as it will receive a single response to a RF signal that it sends while having multiple receivers within communication distance. In the case of using prior art support, it would receive multiple responses from supports within communication distance of the reader.
[0054]It will be appreciated that a tag is a convenient and economic way of manufacturing the module, as it may then be affixed to any suitable support. It is however also possible to include the tag as a part of a bigger structure, e.g. by including it in the support.
[0055]It will further be appreciated that the present invention can prevent communication collisions in environments with multiple tags, while the solution is completely transparent to the user.
[0056]Each feature disclosed in the description and (where appropriate) the claims and drawings may be provided independently or in any appropriate combination. Reference numerals appearing in the claims are by way of illustration only and shall have no limiting effect on the scope of the claims.

Sean O'Brien and his Pope John Paul II teammates were at a team barbeque last Sunday when they received the news about its first round playoff matchup. O'Brien admitted that at first, he wasn't sure if the announcement was real or a joke.
"One of the coaches got a text from Coach (Mark) Jeanmard and said 'I got the text, we're playing John Curtis. Let's go pray,' " O'Brien said. "I thought he was joking and saying let's pray for the meal.
"I am excited. I am still debating if it's more shock or excitement. I didn't know if we'd get in."
Clearly, the Jaguars did make the Class 2A state playoffs, as a No. 32 seed, and will face annual state powerhouse, and the current national No. 1 Curtis.
One could argue that despite a 3-6 record against quality opposition, Pope John Paul II was fortunate to make the postseason. And as it's reward, the Jags get to tangle with a juggernaut.
Jeanmard and his team, however, take a different approach.
"I think every coach that coaches high school football coaches to win a state championship," Jeanmard said. "Give credit to Curtis for its tradition of excellence. They are a team you have to beat to win Class 2A. We get our state championship in week one.
"Last year was the first time this school made it to make playoffs four years in row. Now it is' five, and that means we've had two classes of seniors go through and make playoffs all four years. Now we have a tradition we are building."
Curtis' tradition is well-established, though. The Patriots have won 24 state championships, and this year's team may be one of the Patriots' best.
But a stiff challenge is nothing new for Jaguars. Their schedule included four consecutive games against higher classified non-district teams -- Pearl River (4A), Riverdale (4A), Easton (4A) and De La Salle (3A)-- and three district games (Springfield, St. Thomas Aquinas, Northlake Christian) against teams that made the playoffs.
In the middle of the season, standout senior quarterback Ryan Noonan injured his non-throwing arm and missed some games.
"I was excited (to get a playoff berth and) to have another week of playing football," Noonan said. "I never want the season to end."
Fellow senior Decatur Durel can relate, and he appreciates that his class gets another opportunity to add to the tradition being built.
"It's always good to know you are leaving something behind," he said. "My first two years I didn't play much because I was struggling with injuries. It's a nice thing to share with everyone."
The Pope John Paul II players focused on their individual responsibilities rather than the outcome of the game.
"This week we get back to the basics," Durel said. "We know our requirements and responsibilities and are stressing that."
Noonan said he emphasizes that the team's preperation should remain the same each week, regardless of its opponent.
That philosophy mirrors Curtis.
"I take the same approach in the playoffs as in the regular season," Curtis Coach J.T. Curtis said. "We won't change a thing in how we prepare, treat them like everybody else."
Another week of practice suits Noonan just fine.
"If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I don't care who or where, as long as I get a chance," he said.
Pope John Paul II relizes that its playoff run could be short-lived and defeating Curtis will be a monumental task. But it's one the team covets, no joke.

The future of I-81 as it wends through downtown Syracuse remains unsettled today.
We're promised lots of public discussion but what we've seen so far is limited pretty much to newspaper back-and-forth. The State Department of Transportation claims the road "will be what the community wants it to be."
So far, the single plan out there is landscape architect Steve Buechner's idea to tear down the overhead viaduct and replace it with a short underground tunnel topped by an urban park of about 30 acres. State experts say the highway, which was finished in the 1960s, either has to be repaired or torn down. Most of the cost supposedly is covered by federal money.
Last week, I wrote about former Syracusan Joseph F.C. DiMento's study of building the urban freeway across Syracuse in the first place. Joe, a professor at the University of California, concluded what happened happened without much public input.
The column produced a comment from Roy Brunner, who said he speaks as a LaFayette resident:
"I will tell you that commuting into downtown for work, going shopping at Carousel Mall, racing to the airport or visiting my relatives in Liverpool will become a nightmare if 81 is removed. There are thousands of persons like me that travel 81 every day.
"A 15-mile drive takes 15 minutes using the interstate. That same drive through the Valley, through downtown and through the Northside, using Salina Street, would take at least 30 minutes. During periods of high traffic volume that 15-mile drive could take an hour.
"Neither Salina nor State Streets are designed to handle heavy traffic. Even stretches that are marked as two lanes in each direction are for all intents and purposes single lanes; streets are too narrow and the curbs are lined with parked cars. The homes along those streets would be confronted with thousands of vehicles, including trucks, rumbling by their front doors day and night; not a very safe place for children to play or wait for their school buses.
"I can't wait to be heading to work in the morning following a frequently-stopping school bus through the Valley. That is not to mention the many stop signs I'll encounter.
"I know some people will point out that I could circumnavigate the city by using 481 north. But think about driving 20-30 miles to reach downtown, in which in my case is just 12 miles away. . . . This makes no sense from my perspective.
"If citizens think 81 divides the city, wait until they experience the traffic and congestion that routing Central New York's own daily commuters down city streets does to their neighborhoods, and for that matter, I'd think twice about going to Armory Square, to a Chiefs game, shopping at the mall, dining in North Syracuse, or even visiting friends in Liverpool if I'd have to drive through the neighborhoods for 40 minutes.
"I hope the Onondaga Citizens League makes reasoned and logical recommendations."
The League took on the future of I-81 as its study this year. We're told the results are to be released soon. The Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council is working up some small group discussions and will go to public meetings in the fall.
Barbering Downtown
May 24 I wrote about Chris Christodoulou's State Tower Barber Shop on East Water Street and his resident pet dog, Fritz, who comes to work every day. I mentioned, with Chris's approval, that his looked like the only barber shop doing business in the neighborhood.
A regular at Hair by Rosalie at 405 S. Clinton St. called to object. I checked with the proprietor, Rosalie Bertocci, who said she's been in the hair business 20 years and "I cut men's hair."
Point to Rosalie.

CHICAGO -- The lasting image from Michigan's season-ending loss to Kentucky frames Caris LeVert with his left arm extended, stretched to the limits of his 7-foot-1 wingspan. The attempt to stifle Aaron Harrison's jumper ultimately comes up short.
Harrison made the game-winning 3. Kentucky won, 75-72, advancing to the Final Four instead of Michigan.
What the picture doesn't show is the entirety of LeVert's condition.
According to former U-M teammates Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III, LeVert -- who underwent surgery on May 12 to repair a stress fracture in his foot -- played portions of the 2013-14 season in noticeable pain.
"He was playing through it a little bit all year long," Stauskas said Friday at the NBA draft combine in Chicago, later adding, "He had mentioned that his foot bothered him at times, but it was never really an issue. Then he said (after) the Kentucky game, the very last game of the season, that it really bothered him again. Then obviously when the season ended, he wanted to get it checked out and it ended up being a stress fracture."
Asked Friday about LeVert's injury, Robinson said, "I don't remember, but … I just remember him always kind of complaining about his feet hurting. But I didn't know it was that bad. He would ice it every day; get in the cold tub every day. I had no idea it was leading to (surgery)."
Robinson added, for good measure, that LeVert also played most of the season with tendinitis in his knee.
"I remember him always icing that and we'd joke around with him for having tendinitis, saying he's old and stuff like that," Robinson said.
LeVert earned second-team All-Big Ten honors despite all that. The 6-foot-6 sophomore averaged 12.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists, blossoming into a key contributor and an NBA prospect.
At no point, though, was it known publicly that LeVert was playing in pain. Michigan coach John Beilein's May 12 announcement of LeVert's foot surgery came from deep left field.
"Caris underwent surgery today for a stress fracture of his foot at the University of Michigan hospital," Beilein said in the statement. "He is doing well and we expect him to make a full recovery in about 8 to 10 weeks. We are confident he will participate in our late summer training and play in our August trip to Europe."
Stauskas is LeVert's former roommate, but said he was "not sure" how long LeVert played through the pain.
"There were a couple times when he said it bothered him, but for the most part he was moving well," Stauskas said. "It wasn't like every day he said, 'Man, my foot is bothering me,' but I know he mentioned it in the tournament that it was bothering him."
LeVert averaged 9.8 points on 42.9 percent shooting in 32.3 minutes per game over Michigan's four NCAA tournament games.
"I never saw him limp or grimace or anything like that," Stauskas said. "I'm sure he wasn't in excruciating pain or anything like that, but I'm sure there times when it was sore and bothering him."
Now pegged as Michigan's top returning player next season, LeVert received plenty of offseason attention prior to his surgery. ESPN named him as a 2014-15 preseason first team All-American and his name popped up on various 2015 mock draft.
On April 16, LeVert confirmed that he applied for an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee following the end of season, but said it was an "easy decision" to return to Michigan for his junior year.
LeVert received and accepted an invitation to this summer's Kevin Durant Skills Academy. Now his attendance is unclear. The camp runs June 27-29, only six weeks removed from his surgery.

Tickets are $40 until Nov. 2, and $45 afterward. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Japan-America Society of Oregon.
Speaking of sake, Portland is a major market for the wine, as well as home to sake producer Saké One, in Forest Grove. International Sake Day was Monday, and October marks the start of sake brewing season. Should you want to mark the occasion, here are some sake etiquette tips from Benihana restaurants:
- Never pour sake into your own cup. Sake should be poured either by the host, hostess or other individuals in a group.
- When pouring sake, the flask should be held by one hand at the top with the palm facing down.
- Always hold the sake cup with both hands while it is being filled. Once the cup is full, place the filled cup in front of you.
- Wait to take a sip until everyone's cup has been filled and a toast has been made.

Do you like the superstar Lady Gaga,why or why not ,What about your children
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American recording artist. She began working with a collective called the "Haus of Gaga" in 2008, and released her debut album The Fame. The album peaked in countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada to critical acclaim. To date, the album has spawned the international number one singles "Just Dance" (nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards) and "Poker Face." After opening for New Kids On The Block and the Pussycat Dolls, Gaga headlined her first tour, The Fame Ball.
Gaga has been influenced by fashion and has been appreciated for her provocative sense of style and her influence on other celebrities. Musically, she is inspired by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen, as well as pop singers such as Michael Jackson and Madonna.
I like to listen to her songs though I haven't heard too much. Her hot dances in her MVs are also imitated by the young. I my heart she is a devoted women in art. so, I adore her . While her high-key and exaggerated dress attract lots of attention, her dress , hair style, make up and so on have became trends that are ran after by young people all over the world .But her odd appearance also be controversial. Some people like that, they think its beautiful, fashionable and individualistic. Meanwhile some people say it is too crazy and unwelcome. In my opinion, I don't care how and what any else dress. I respect others' reference whoever she is.
How do you think about Lady Gaga?
Do you like her songs and dances?
If you are a mother of teens or young, how about your children 'opinion on her? How do you think about your children' attitudes to Gaga
I liked a few songs off her first record but after that I have had no use for her music.

Like the pairings of Astaire and Rogers; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; and Key and Peele, there's a beautiful affinity that happens when farmers and chefs get together. On Monday, March 3, the Farmer-Chef Connection will be holding an all-day conference to further the conversation between food buyers and growers in the Northwest. This year the day is organized around five-minute, TED-style talks called "FED" talks (get it?), featuring some of the area's best known food movers and shakers.
In a recent article in Forbes magazine on Portland's leading food entrepreneurs, Ben Meyer of Old Salt Marketplace discusses his strategies for selling the highest quality, sustainably produced meat and produce for an affordable price, plus providing all of his employees with a living wage and health care. His restaurants are places where not just his neighbors, but the farmers and ranchers he works with, can afford to eat in his restaurants. His new project is The Descendents Dinner Series, bringing together pioneering chefs of the Northwest's farm-to-table movement with outstanding area farmers and some lucky young chefs in what are sure to make delicious, as well as stimulating, evenings.
In addition to promoting legislation that helped ease restrictions on farm-direct sales and marketing, Friends of Family Farmers has been involved in efforts to ban growing canola in the Willamette Valley, started public education evenings called "InFARMation (and Beer)" to bring the public into the discussion about the direction of the state's agriculture and been involved in a myriad of other efforts. They're currently in the middle of a series of 20 Listening Sessions around the state designed to bring together farmers and ranchers to talk about the great parts of, as well as the barriers to, farming successfully in Oregon, where they can brainstorm solutions and help define the future of agricultural policy in Oregon.

Who would have thought it? Israel has emerged as an unlikely force in the world's property market, becoming one of the fastest growing nations. Global Property Guide, a trade magazine that monitors the housing market, reports that Israeli house prices in the second quarter of 2010 rose sixth-fastest out of 36 countries. Four of the top five, including Singapore and Latvia, were rebounding from sharp price drops. And over the past two years, Israeli prices have shot up faster than anywhere else in the world.

Israel has exceeded all expectations to grow by 4.7% in the second quarter of 2010, according the Central Bureau of Statistics. Due to the crisis in Europe, predictions were that the economy would only grow by 2.9%. Israel's surprisingly strong annual growthhas been partly due to a rise in exports this year.

One game into the second half of the NBA season, the New Orleans Hornets find themselves firmly in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, a solid sixth as play tips off tonight, and amazingly, 1 1/2 games out of the third spot.
Considering New Orleans began this season with nine new faces on a retooled roster led by the youngest coach in the league, the speedy ascendancy into postseason contenders is somewhat startling.
The Hornets' scrappy 85-81 win over the visiting Toronto Raptors on Monday was the 42nd game of the 82-game regular season. With the Memphis Grizzlies (19-22) on deck tonight at the New Orleans Arena, the Hornets (26-16) have made significant strides in creating an identity and establishing a new culture within the franchise.
Perhaps more quickly, in fact, than anyone could have imagined.
With a five-game winning streak — the best run since the season-opening eight in a row — the Hornets seem to have forged an identity, following a formula for success that has been consistently proven by championship teams in the past: defense wins games.
"You know, I think we're approaching it," New Orleans Coach Monty Williams said of his team's identifying characteristics. "I think somebody told me, I forget who, it takes two years to put a system in. And as long as our guys are still asking questions, I don't think our system is in yet. But as far as an identity, I think we're approaching that.
"We've yet to play a few teams still. So until we play everybody, I don't think we can say we have our identity written in stone — but I think we know who we want to be. I don't know if the league looks at us that way yet. We want to be a defensive team. I'm not quite sure that the NBA looks at us that way, yet."
Maybe they should.
New Orleans is 16-1 this season when holding an opponent to less than 90 points, including three victories during its winning streak. The only blemish in that record came at Philadelphia, an 88-70 setback in which the Hornets shot 30 percent from the field.
And heading into Tuesday night's abbreviated schedule in the NBA, the Hornets ranked first in the league in defense, allowing 91.93 points per game.
New Orleans has enjoyed All-Star level play from point guard Chris Paul, forward David West and center Emeka Okafor, one of eight players in the league averaging a double-double.
"Chris and David have played at a high level all year," Williams said. "That's been a stabilizing force for us, but the defense is something we've done well as a team in longer stretches. We've had some games where we weren't as on point as we'd like to be, but I think overall our defense has been something that we can rely on."
Hornets General Manager Dell Demps, who has put together this nucleus through a series of trades before and during the season, points to the leadership of those three and adds Trevor Ariza, who won a championship with the Los Angles Lakers, into the mix.
"I think those guys are really character guys who are leading us," Demps said. "Did I think we'd be here in my wildest dreams? I thought it was a possibility. I did. But I also thought it was a possibility we'd be .500 in the West, and I also thought it was a possibility we could be under .500. It's crazy in the West these days.
"In the NBA, so many teams are getting better. These young teams, these kids are growing up — and they're playing. You watch the play of some other teams and you're like, 'Whoa.' You're scared of what's going to happen in a year or two."
Demps also throws a shout-out to Hornets fans, who've helped to make the Arena a true home-court advantage in light of the team's 16-5 record there.
"I really believe there are about five games we lose this year without the fans," Demps said. "And when we walked in the door, we said we wanted to put a team together that the team could be proud of. And I'm really proud to say the fans have really helped us win games."
With a difficult stretch of games the rest of this week, including a road-home back-to-back games against the Atlanta Hawks and the NBA-best San Antonio Spurs on Friday and Saturday, the Hornets will have to maintain their lunch-bucket mentality to continue down the path toward success.
"That's what we have to be," said West, the senior member of the franchise who arrived in 2003. "We have a group of guys who come from that background, guys who aren't blessed with all the great gifts, so to speak.
"I just think we have to know who we are, and know that we're not built — and I'll keep saying it — we're not built with the luxury of having 7-footers all over the place, dominant career scorers and things like that. We've just got to be a work team."

Butler Tray Stand
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Butler Tray Stand:
I had been looking for something to use to set beverages/snacks on in our family room and was excited to see this butler tray combo in the flyer. It had great refurbished style and was priced right. Upon viewing in store I decided to buy the stand but didn't care for the yellow tray that was paired with it. I thought that finding another tray would be a snap given that WM carries a few and they've become more popular with other retailers as well. Big mistake!

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has catapulted himself squarely into the elite quarterback conversation after completing one of the most impressive playoffs ever with the Super Bowl 2013 title and MVP honors Sunday night.
Now it is time to cash in and be paid like an elite NFL quarterback.
Flacco, a fifth-year quarterback, couldn't have timed his record playoff performance any better. He officially became an unrestricted free agent following the Ravens' 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The Ravens were talking substantial money prior to last season before Flacco and his agent broke off talks, wisely gambling to wait until the end of the season. Now to keep Flacco around the Ravens may have to fork over a contract in the $100 million range.
The Ravens seem committed to getting a deal done and almost have no choice coming off a Super Bowl title. And it doesn't hurt that Flacco seems to have no interest in looking beyond the team that drafted him in the first round (18th overall) out of Delaware in 2008.
"I'm pretty optimistic, but who knows," Flacco said during Monday's MVP press conference. "There's all kinds of crazy things that can happen with these contracts that we've all seen before, but this is a great organization. I love being (in Baltimore), great city, so I don't really anticipate any problems."
Clearly what Flacco and his agent, Joe Linta, want is to be paid like a top five quarterback in the league. And to do that, the Ravens would have to put him in the territory of Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Brees signed a five-year deal worth $100 million last offseason to remain with the Saints and Flacco's next contract could approach that level.
The question prior to this postseason was if Flacco was worth that type of money. But after guiding the Ravens to four playoff wins, which included victories over Manning's Denver Broncos and Brady and the New England Patriots it seems pretty clear Flacco is now a serious part of the elite quarterback conversation.
Such historic numbers and his 9-4 playoff record, which includes at least one playoff win in each of his five seasons, make it a seem likely the Ravens will do what is necessary to keep their franchise quarterback around.
It also makes it smart business that Flacco's agent didn't jump at the first offer from Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome last offseason, though it was said to be a contract that would have paid Flacco about $15 million per season.
Now he bargains as the agent of a quarterback who is one of just seven active quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl, joining Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Manning, Brees and Brady.
"Bottom line is we have our quarterback for the next 10 years, and we're going to ride Joe," Baltimore owner Steve Bisciotti said to USA Today's Jarrett Bell prior to Sunday's Super Bowl.
"I think the hold-up is money. I was made aware that (Flacco) and his agent were real close (to a deal) with Ozzie and think that Ozzie has always come through and gotten the job done. We've never lost a great, great franchise player from the beginning. I'm just very comfortable that it will get done. The fact that we're offering more per year than the franchise tag, to me, it can't be too far away if where we stopped (talks) last year, the annual average was higher than the franchise tag."
Flacco, 28, joked about knocking on Bisciotti's desk following his record-setting postseason performance that resulted in the Ravens first Super Bowl title since 2001.
"I don't really know," said Flacco, who took home a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and then made the trip to Disney after winning the Super Bowl MVP. "Me and Steve had some good talks over the last few months, and it's just nice to go in and have conversations with him, whatever they may be. I was just kind of making a little joke."

Repeatedly told she'd have to wait two years for a home loan after short-selling her condo, Tasha Berry wouldn't take no for an answer.
By Phil Favorite, Contributing Writer
Go ahead and call her stubborn — Tasha Berry is used to it. But if she was inclined to take no for an answer, Berry would still be searching for a new home instead of living in one she loves.
Berry — a 43-year-old Gulf War veteran living in her hometown of Chicago — ran into some skeptics when she re-entered the home buying market not long after short-selling a condominium to help care for her ailing mother.
A Realtor friend told her she'd face a mandatory two-year wait to qualify for a mortgage after the short sale. Lenders said the same thing — we're sorry, but you're going to have to wait.
"I was always told you have to wait two years to buy something else (after a short sale)," Berry said. "But I'm one of those people who has to see it in writing."
Other than the short sale, Berry had all the right elements to make her a good bet for a home loan. She had good credit, a steady job and enough money saved for a down payment. And as it turned out, she also had an ace up her sleeve: her past service in the Army Reserves, which qualified her for benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Not willing to take no for an answer, Berry decided to do her own research and found a mortgage broker — Dick Maurer in Lake Oswego, Ore. — who confidently told her, "Yes you can."
"The VA does not have a waiting period after a short sale. That's a very well-kept secret," said Maurer, an expert on VA loans. "Ninety-five percent of the lenders have their own mandatory waiting periods of two to three years, but the VA is the one program that doesn't stipulate a waiting period. Now, you have to meet other requirements. You have to be otherwise eligible and qualified, with enough income and good-enough credit."
"It was like the heavens opened," Berry said.
Empowered with this information, Berry kept grinding. She thought she was in business when she secured backing and had an offer accepted on a single-family home, but the lender backed out late in the process, again claiming there to be a two-year waiting period.
"I was really close to closing, but the other lender said, 'I'm sorry, but you have to wait two years,'" Berry said. "That's when I followed up with Dick."
Maurer worked quickly to help Berry secure financing, and she soon made an offer on another home. This time, things went smoothly all the way through closing, and she soon had the keys to a four-bedroom, 2.5-bath raised ranch in the Beverly neighborhood on Chicago's south side.
"I love it. There's nothing like owning your own home," Berry said. "I am stubborn — my friend tells me that all time. But I thought one day it's going to pay off. And it did. Dick worked his magic and helped me get in here."
"Because I've been serving veterans' needs for almost 30 years, I almost have a unique knowledge for the VA rule book," Maurer said. "It's like a recipe. You need to know what ingredients will make it right. It's not easy, and, like a recipe, once you put the wrong ingredient in it's over. You can't take it back out. It needs to be right the first time."
