In 1993, students at medical schools from around the country established Medical Students for Choice (MSFC), an organization committed to training abortion providers and pro-choice physicians—and to ensuring that women have access to the full range of reproductive healthcare options. The following year, Dr. Jennifer Petrillo, then a second-year Einstein medical student, established an MSFC chapter at the College of Medicine—one of the first in the nation.
Dr. Petrillo recalled how Dr. Albert Kuperman, Einstein's then-associate dean for educational affairs, was very supportive of the group. "He also introduced a family planning elective at Einstein." The course is still offered to fourth-year students.
In the 20 years since its inception, MSFC has come a long way, now boasting 159 chapters in 12 countries worldwide. And, Einstein's longstanding commitment remains ever strong. It was in evidence this past fall, when eight Einstein students attended the organization's annual conference, held in Denver, Colorado. Among the Einstein students was Sarp Aksel, class of 2015, who is serving as the international organization's current president and chair of the board of directors.
At the conference, more than 300 international medical and nursing students joined with 40 medical school faculty and MSFC alumni to mark the milestone anniversary. Among the event's session facilitators was Dr. Marji Gold, professor of family and social medicine at Einstein and director of the Center for Reproductive Health Education in Family Medicine at Einstein's University Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center.
Mr. Aksel's leadership role represents a tradition among Einstein students in line with the chapter's steadfast involvement with MSFC. Other Einstein students who have held national positions include Dr. Melissa Figueroa, class of 2013, a former board member and nominating committee co-chair, Dr. Miran
The Einstein MSFC chapter also has gained insights from Dr. Hillary Kunins, one of the student activists who founded the organization in 1993. Dr. Kunins completed her residency in internal medicine at Montefiore. She served as director of the Einstein-Montefiore residency program in primary care-social internal medicine from 2007 to 2012. She is currently assistant commissioner at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where she leads the department's Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Use Prevention, Care and Treatment.
Current leadership of the Einstein chapter includes second-year students Evan Tamura, Jesse Berman and Ian Downs, while Dr. Gold serves as faculty advisor.
The group recently hosted two successful events. The first, held on October 16, 2013, offered an informal dinner at which Dr. Gold led a clinical question and answer session on abortion attended by 30 medical students. "As future clinicians, it's important for us to have a basic understanding of what an abortion actually is and to be mindful that, regardless of our personal beliefs, we will inevitably treat patients who have had or want to have an abortion," said Ms. Tamura.
On December 5, nearly 70 students turned out for a panel discussion on religion and abortion. Panelists included a Jewish emergency medicine physician who also is a rabbi; a Catholic family physician; and a Muslim imam.
"Hearing the various perspectives from the clergy is helpful," noted Mr. Aksel. "As physicians in training, it's our responsibility to learn about all aspects of medicine so that we can provide our future patients with the best possible care."
He added, "Abortion is a safe and legal medical procedure in this country. We're committed to ensuring that it is accessible to women everywhere."

"No excuses" charter schools send most or all of their low-income, minority students to college. But do "no excuses" students graduate from college? In Education Next, Robert Pondiscio looks at what charter schools are doing to improve their graduates' college graduation rates.
KIPP is the largest and best known of a class of charter-management organizations (CMOs) that includes Achievement First, YES Prep, Uncommon Schools, Mastery, Aspire, and others. This group shares a set of familiar characteristics: more and longer school days, with a college preparatory curriculum for all students; strict behavioral and disciplinary codes; and a strong focus on building a common, high-intensity school culture. Classrooms and halls are awash in motivational quotations and college banners, typically from the alma maters of the inevitably young, hard-charging teachers who staff the schools. The signature feature is high behavioral and academic expectations for all students, the vast majority of whom are low-income, urban black and Hispanic kids.
Both KIPP and YES Prep track their graduates and report on how well they're doing. One third of former KIPP middle schoolers have graduated college within six years — four times the average for disadvantaged students, but way below KIPP's goals.
Black graduates of YES Prep average 1556 in reading, writing and math on the SAT, "far above the national average of 1273 for African Americans, and significantly higher than the 1500 national average for all students." All graduates have passed at least one AP class. Less than 5 percent of YES Prep grads require remediation in college. Yet the six-year graduation rate is only 41 percent .
"It wasn't the academic piece that was holding our kids back," notes senior director of college initiatives at YES Prep Donald Kamentz. "What we found hands down was it was the noncognitive piece—that tenacity, that grit—that allowed kids to harness those skills and persist when they faced difficulty."
"What we've found with the 'whatever it takes' or 'no excuses' mentality is that it was very teacher-driven and less student-driven," says Kametz, acknowledging this is a controversial line of thought in his own halls. A typical No Excuses approach might involve giving demerits or detention for missed assignments or turning in work that's not "neat and complete." Kamentz questions whether this tough-love approach helps create the self-advocacy in students they will need to be successful in college. "It's the largest gaping hole with our kids in college," he says. "They will constantly say, 'You structured my life so much that I had to do very little thinking and structuring myself.'"
The no-excuses charters are trying to develop ways to strengthen students' perseverance, "growth mindset" and grit. Some send "posses" of students to "right-match" colleges that provide mentoring to first-generation-to-college students. (I love Pondiscio's phrase: "in helicopter parentis.")
KIPP, which started with middle schools, is adding elementary and high schools to strengthen academic preparation. The network also is following its alumni through college to help them cope with academic and social challenges. Now there are 1,000 KIPP graduates in college. In a few years, there will be 10,000. KIPP hopes to raise the college graduation rate to 75 percent, as high as students from upper-income families. The short-term goal is a 50 percent graduation rate.

Man pleads not guilty in Saranac Lake shooting
SARANAC LAKE – A local man pleaded not guilty to felony assault Tuesday afternoon in village court, after he allegedly shot his wife in the hand with a shotgun during a domestic dispute early that morning.
The shooting took place in front of the couple's three young children, between 5 months and 4 years of age, in what police say was the only habitable room of a McClelland Street house. Police said it was squalid inside, despite a relatively tidy exterior, because it was also home to 17 dogs – what police say may have been an illegal kennel or dog-breeding operation. That could lead to more charges in the case, village police Chief Bruce Nason said.
"The condition of the house – the place was covered with dog feces," Nason said. "They were pretty much living in the living room because the other rooms in the house either had dogs or they just couldn't – it was a mess."
Oleg Tchernytchenko, 35, of Saranac Lake, was formally charged with first-degree assault, a class B felony, and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.
Nason said the incident took place in the living room of the home around 1:50 a.m. He said Tchernytchenko and his wife were arguing when he pointed a 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun at her.
"He was standing in front of her when he pointed it at her, she tried to push it away, and that's when it fired, striking her in the hand," Nason said.
The woman suffered what Nason described as a non-life-threatening wound to the hand. She called 911 to report the incident.
Nason said Saranac Lake ambulance personnel responded to what was initially reported as a person with a head injury. When they arrived on scene, they found the woman had been shot in the hand and contacted village police, who were already en route, Nason said.
The woman was initially taken to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake and later transfered to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., Nason said.
"I didn't see the injury, but the reason she went to Burlington was to see if they could surgically repair her hand and save her fingers," he said. "The possibility existed that at least one or two were badly damaged."
Nason said police were still trying to confirm what the husband and wife were arguing about. He said either Tchernytchenko or his officers mentioned that he had consumed some wine that night, but no sobriety or blood-alcohol tests were performed.
Nason said his officers interviewed the woman at the hospital. She also gave police a handwritten statement before she was transferred to Fletcher Allen. Nason said Tchernytchenko has also given police a voluntary statement. None of the statements were immediately provided by police.
Village police were going door to door, interviewing neighbors, when the Enterprise visited the scene around 9:30 a.m. Three village police vehicles were parked on the street, yellow police tape was strung up around the house, and a large dog was barking in its driveway.
Franklin County Child Protective Services employees were talking outside John Farrington's home across the street, where police brought the three young children after the incident. Farrington spoke with the Enterprise as his daughter, Shannon, watched the kids inside.
"I didn't hear anything," Farrington said. "I talked to the neighbors, and I don't think anybody heard anything. I overheard that she was shot in the hand."
Farrington described his neighbors as "loners" and "a little mysterious.
"He would only come out and have cigarettes on the porch, wave at me and smile," Farrington said of Tchernytchenko. "I never heard much yelling. They'd talk loudly sometimes. I was not aware of any violence or anything like that."
The children were eventually taken into custody by child protective services. Nason said police had previously responded to reports of domestic disputes at the home, though offhand he didn't know how many. None of those prior incidents had resulted in any charges.
The 17 dogs, of various ages, were removed from the home by the village's dog control officer, Lena Bombard of the Tri-Lakes Humane Society.
"We haven't been able to have them evaluated yet because we've had so many," Bombard told the Enterprise. She said the shelter would gladly accept any donations to help care for and feed the animals. "We already had 23 dogs here, and we just took in a lot more. It's going to be ongoing. We have to get them vet care and take care of them."
After the dogs were all removed from the house, police carried out a search warrant. They found a slug from the shotgun lodged in a wall and also secured a .22-caliber rifle from the residence.
Tchernytchenko was held in the village police department lock-up until roughly 1:30 p.m., when he was arraigned on the charges before village Justice Ken McLaughlin. McLaughlin said Tchernytchenko did not have a lawyer present at the time and was given an application for a public defender.
Tchernytchenko pleaded not guilty and was remanded to the Franklin County Jail in Malone in lieu of $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond. The judge also said he issued an order of protection for the woman and the three children that runs through December.
State police investigators assisted with the probe, performing forensic work and helping village police conduct interviews, Nason said.
"I cannot praise our officers enough for their quick response, the state police arriving to assist us and the cooperation between the agencies," he said.

Spring 2001
Volume 5 Number 3
by Erika Marksbury
Twelve years ago, with nothing but ninety dollars in his pocket and the knowledge that his life needed to change, Adetokunbo Adelekan caught a Greyhound bus at midnight on its way out of his hometown of Sacramento, California. Three days later, with sixteen dollars left, he stepped off the bus in Atlanta, Georgia. Though he had not been accepted at any college to which he applied, Adelekan wanted to attend a historically black institution, and his sights were set on Morehouse College.
Dressed in a three-piece Nigerian outfit, as soon as Adelekan set foot on campus he caught the eye of Clarence James, an African scholar. James asked Adelekan for his story, then dropped his plans for the day to spend six hours in the admissions office working to get Adelekan enrolled. Adelekan made straight As his first semester, proving both that he appreciated James's effort and that he would earn his right to attend Morehouse. "I was terribly disillusioned and confused as a high school student," Adelekan remembers. "If there was a turning point in my life, a turning from despair and disillusionment to being somewhat of a progressive individual, that was it."
That's Adelekan's modesty speaking, though. He did not turn into "somewhat of a progressive individual"; he turned into, according to Ebony magazine's first issue of the new millennium, one of the "30 Leaders of the Future."
Adelekan gets an incredulous smile on his face when he remembers finding out he had been featured in Ebony. "I didn't even know…. Somebody from church called and said that they saw me in the magazine! At first, I felt 'Why me?' I was kind of surprised. But now, I feel kind of overwhelmed: What do I do? What lofty vision is now placed upon my shoulders? What grand scheme am I supposed to be a part of?" The tone in Adelekan's voice gives away that he's (mostly) kidding. And while others cannot answer all of the questions he has concerning his new designation, the answer to his "why me?" query is obvious to all who know him.
PTS professor Max Stackhouse knew Adelekan when they were both at Andover Newton Theological School. When Stackhouse came to Princeton, he invited Adelekan to follow, to continue pursuit of his master's at the Seminary. After encouraging Adelekan through his M.Div. and then advising his doctoral work for the past several years, Stackhouse is not at all surprised that his longtime student was chosen for this "striking honor."
"I have great regard for his talent," Stackhouse says. "Even at Andover Newton, he showed himself to be a very bright and natural leader. I heard him give some talks in public meetings, and I remember thinking, 'This guy is a natural teacher and preacher. He has to prepare himself, because he will be a public figure.'"
Certainly Ebony chose Adelekan as a leader for the future because he is already a leader today. Not many thirty-year-olds hold positions as assistant professor of theology and ethics at a seminary (Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Philadelphia), associate minister of drama ministry at a church, and president and CEO of an international cultural and educational consulting firm—all while pursuing a doctoral degree full time.
Passion lights his face as he speaks of Maafa (in Swahili, "the great suffering"), an annual drama production at Saint Paul Community Church in Brooklyn, New York, where Adelekan serves. The drama ministry's purpose is to "be healing and Christ-centered, and to celebrate Africanity in a way that is true to Scripture," which comes through in Maafa's portrayal of a mythological return to the past to trace the steps of history and of the African faith pilgrimage. Adelekan's involvement varies each year—dancer, actor, conceptualizer—but he always leads Bible study for the participants centered on the play's message.
Much of Adelekan's other work follows similar themes: a recognition of the past in order to understand the present and celebrate the future. His African American mother, African father, and the ten childhood and adolescent years he spent in Nigeria have sparked his passion for cross-cultural relationships. Out of that, he founded the Tosabo Group, a consulting firm that facilitates the development of relationships between Africans and African Americans and that takes him across the country and throughout Europe to teach seminars. "I don't have a clash of civilizations," he says. "I have a confluence of civilizations. Africa and America are both home for me."
His doctoral dissertation is exploring an American theme—the idea of freedom in John Locke and Martin Luther King Jr.—but, he says, it is "intractably autobiographical.
"I'm having great fun. I'm actually having problems shutting it down. Every time I see Professors Mark Taylor or Max Stackhouse or Peter Paris, I tell them about all the new ideas I have, and they say, 'Great! Run with that!' The only problem is, I have to graduate sometime…."
Most likely, Adelekan will graduate in May. Then he will begin the next, post-education leg of the journey that began when he stepped off the bus in Atlanta. Academics, ministry, and consulting all remain part of the plan—though he's not sure what specific form this will take. But to be sure, this leader's work in "public theology for social reconstruction" will be worth following.

We had Zoom litter 2 days ago, ultrasound shows 6 beats, all 6 boys and 3 hrs later a miracle girl came out.
I've only ever had one litter with more females than males, and have an all-male litter on the ground now. Another litter out of one of my females that I leased has only 2 females of 8 puppies. If I didn't know that the sire's DNA contribution determines sex, I'd swear it runs in my lines! It's pretty rare for a litter to be all one sex, but not unheard of.

Just was curious -was wondering if it had anything to do with my bitch being inseminated surgically. I have been told that the male sperm swim faster so they would get to the eggs first, and since we had done Progesterone testing - we must have been spot on with our timing. Anyone else ever heard this or had it happen?
My year old female pup is from an all female litter of 9! I'm 90% sure the dam was bred naturally. Goldens not labs, though.
Let me guess you had deposits for 8 females and 2 males?

Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to announce that Bill C-31, Eliminating Entitlements for Prisoners Act is scheduled to receive royal assent today.
This means that as of January 1, criminals like Clifford Olson who are serving time in a federal prison will no longer receive taxpayer-funded old age security and GIS benefits. This is just another example of how our Conservative government is putting victims first, not criminals.

Mr. Speaker, for two years this government has done nothing while Canadian resident, Saeed Malekpour, has languished in Iran's notorious Evin prison. It did nothing when he was kidnapped and thrown into jail, nothing when he was forced to confess under torture, and nothing when he was sentenced to death.
The Prime Minister's Office and the Minister of Foreign Affairs have voiced concerns about other detainees who have done nothing in terms of connections to this country, while Mr. Malekpour has received barely a passing mention by the parliamentary secretary.
Is this government actually prepared to do anything to save the life of Mr. Malekpour?

Mr. Speaker, our government remains deeply concerned by the continued flagrant disregard by the Iranian authorities for the rights of Iranians. This appears to be another case in which someone in Iran is facing a death sentence after a highly questionable process.
Canada, with the international community, is striving to hold Iran accountable for such human rights violations. This includes Canada's leadership on the resolution on the situation of human rights in Iran that was recently adopted in the third committee of the UN General Assembly for the eighth consecutive year.
Oral Questions

Josée Beaudin Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, a recent Statistics Canada study confirms that young workers were the hardest hit by the economic crisis, especially students, whose summer employment rate dropped 7% during the most recent recession. This is the biggest drop since 1982.
In light of these findings, how can the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development slash $10 million from the budget for the 2011 Canada summer jobs program?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, although our youth unemployment rate is much lower than in other countries, we take it very seriously. That is why we introduced and expanded a number of programs in our economic action plan to help young people. For example, we added $10 million a year to help young people and create 3,500 jobs each summer. It is too bad the Bloc Québécois did not support our efforts.

Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, today the Grand Chief of the MKO representing northern Manitoba first nations brought a message to Ottawa that it is high time we tackled the underlying causes behind the third world diseases that aboriginal people face in Canada, such as the high rates of diabetes, another fatal flu outbreak, and the shocking rates of tuberculosis which in Nunavut are 62 times the national average.
When is the federal government going to act decisively to put an end to the third world living conditions facing Canada's aboriginal people?

Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, as former health minister of the north, I understand the impact of the geographic location as well as the unique culture of aboriginals in our communities that require specific health care considerations. That is why our government has committed $285 million to federal aboriginal health programs. This funding will assist over 150 community-based projects such as: the TB elimination strategy, $9.6 million; the aboriginal diabetes initiative, $110 million; the aboriginal youth suicide prevention strategy, $95 million; and child and maternal health.
We are getting the job done.
Canadian Forces

Robert Sopuck Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, every day our Canadian Forces work to make the world a safer place. In the face of danger and away from their families, friends and loved ones, these brave men and women are examples of all the good things Canadians are capable of.
Our largest overseas deployment is serving in Afghanistan and this winter they will be celebrating the holidays without the comforts of home.
Would the Minister of State for Transport please tell the House about the program in place to help the families and friends of these soldiers stay connected with our troops during the holiday season?

Rob Merrifield Minister of State (Transport)
Mr. Speaker, first of all, I welcome my hon. colleague to the House with his first great question.
It is truly amazing what our troops do overseas every day of the year for us, especially at the holiday season. They have chosen to leave the comforts of home and country to do the outstanding work that we are very proud of every day.
It is a great pleasure for me to inform the House that Canada Post is allowing, for the fifth consecutive year, free parcel delivery for the friends, family and Canadians from coast to coast to coast to our troops overseas. We welcome everybody to exercise this right.

BALDWYN – Baldwyn went right at S.V. Marshall big man Marquis Vance on Friday night in the MHSAA Class 2A North semifinals.
In a rematch of last season's state championship game, the Bearcats fouled Vance out and beat Marshall 74-70 and advance to tonight's championship game against Coahoma AHS at 7 p.m.
"We made free throws at big times. I thought we had some big rebounds," Baldwyn coach Jason McKay said. "In a close game like that, you're ultimately going to win by hitting free throws and getting rebounds."
Baldwyn (28-3) made 14 of 17 from the line in the fourth quarter.
Vance, a 6-foot-5 senior post player, had three fouls by the half and fouled out with 6:07 to play.
Marshall (25-5) made their biggest run without Vance. Freshman Conner McKay put Baldwyn ahead nine to open the fourth quarter and the Bearcats led by as many as 10 in the third.
Coyderic Weatherall's banked 3-pointer cut the lead to a point before Romaro Crump made 1 of 2 from the line on Demarkus Weatherall's fifth foul. Then, with 16.1 left, Tevin Lindsey took the ball from Jahmal Jackson and made two free throws for a 72-68 lead.
Duke Upshaw answered a quick Marshall score with two free throws to seal it with 3.7 seconds left.
upshaw leads bearcats
Upshaw's 19 points led five Bearcats in double figures. McKay and Lindsey had 17 each, Crump 11 and Martell Brown 10.
Jackson scored 19 for Marshall, Vance 18.
"I don't ever talk about referees, but if anybody watched this game tonight and thought that a 6-5 guy every time on a 5-11 guy, would foul him every time, they've got some problems," Marshall coach Antwayn Patrick said. "With that said, Baldwyn deserved to win."
The game was tied at 61 when Crump fought for an offensive board and connected on a three-point play. McKay added a pair of free throws for a 66-61 lead before Demarkus Weatherall's 3-pointer cut that lead to two.

About the Author: John M. Carland is a Senior Historian in the Office of the Historian, and coordinated the "Conference on the American Experience in Southeast Asia, 1946-1975."
The Office of the Historian recently mounted the biggest event in its history: a Conference on the American Experience in Southeast Asia, 1946-1975. It was an amazing success. In her remarks at the conference, Secretary Clinton said, "I have looked at the program. It is quite international. We have experts not just from Vietnam and the United States, but from universities around the world. And we appreciate greatly the efforts that everyone has made led by our historians here in the State Department, not only to put on this conference, but to help us come to terms with our own history."
As the conference itself recedes into history, a few points about its origin and development might be made. In the spring of 2009, it became clear that we would likely complete our multi-volume documentary history -- a sub-series in the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series--on United States policy in Indochina/Vietnam from 1946 to 1975 sometime in the second half of 2010. This sub-series would consist of more than two dozen FRUS volumes and contain about 24,500 pages of documents, including thousands of messages, memos, memcons, intelligence reports, transcripts of telephone conversations and meetings, and so on. This seemed a remarkable achievement and one worth celebrating.
From that point, it was a short jump to a more important realization: the completion of the series would also provide the opportunity for participants, scholars, and journalists to re-examine the history of our policy in the Vietnam War -- its origins, development, and consequences for the United States and for the wider world.
Working from these two points, I drafted a proposal that we hold a major conference on this subject in late 2010. In mid-September 2009, I made the pitch in person to Public Affairs Assistant Secretary P.J. Crowley. After I spoke, he sat in silence for a few minutes (I always like to think of it as an appreciative silence but it may have been a stunned one), and then he said, "Let's do it." And, with typical enthusiasm, he immediately suggested two possible speakers. He also told me that he wanted the conference to be a success. (I took this to mean that Public Affairs would support the conference, and indeed it did from beginning to end: financially, administratively, and with wise counsel.) Soon afterward, the Historian's Office formed a program committee to plan the conference program.
By mid-September 2010, the committee had produced a complex and sophisticated program that I regarded as a "dream program." Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton opened the conference; former Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger, former Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, and current Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke spoke about their roles in the Vietnam policy story; scholars from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam provided our former enemy's views; senior historians such as George Herring gave their perspectives on the American role in war in Southeast Asia; prize-winning journalists such as Marvin Kalb, Edith Lederer, William Beecher, and Morley Safer spoke from personal experience about the media and the Vietnam War; and, in a series of scholarly panels, academics from here and abroad (from Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, and Vietnam) and official historians from the State Department and Department of Defense substantially advanced our understanding of a variety of significant Vietnam War topics. The program both celebrated the completion of the Foreign Relations series on Vietnam and provided a vehicle for a careful reexamination of our policy during the Vietnam War.
I would only offer two additional comments: First, we in the Historian's Office believe that the conference bore strong, visible, and credible witness to our outreach mission of providing to the public documentation and discussion of key issues in the history of American foreign policy -- this was, after all, a conference open to citizens, officials, and scholars alike, not just to an invited foreign policy elite; and second, we also believe that the conference and our volumes reflect a core value of our society, even if at times only imperfectly manifested: that there should be transparency in the story and documentation of how our government makes critical policy decisions.
We have placed the speeches by Clinton, Kissinger, and Holbrooke, as well as the remarks by the media panel, on line, and hope to post videos and transcripts of the rest of the conference's presentations in the near future.

YMCA program will assist early-stage Alzheimer's patients
MARQUETTE – Those suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's could have somewhere to turn for education – as well as a sense of relief and community – under a new program being piloted by the YMCA of Marquette County.
The inaugural 16-week session of LIVEWISE, a program organized by the YMCA, the Alzheimer's Association, the Marquette General Hospital Brain and Spine Center and Lake Superior Hospice, kicks off Jan. 15.
"It's a way to give people an opportunity to take some control over their health, and get them information – and their families information – early in the process of having this disease," said Ruth Almen, the regional director for the Upper Peninsula office of the Alzheimer's Association.
LIVEWISE will include up to 10 patients, who – along with a caregiver – will meet twice each week.
Almen said that, while enrolled in LIVEWISE, patients will have access to "the best the Y has to offer," including exercise classes and individualized workouts, in addition to classes and education.
The group will learn about the progression of Alzheimer's disease and what to expect moving forward, and will take classes detailing pain and fatigue, as well as grief management. Additional meetings will focus on legal issues, healthy eating and cooking.
According to Almen the most basic goal of the program is that patients and caregivers leave the YMCA in four months with less anxiety, more knowledge and a feeling of control.
"We're hoping people's quality of life will improve," she said. "We're hoping people will feel people feel like they have more choices and control."
Those behind LIVEWISE will also be looking routinely at the program's impact, both physically and emotionally. The pilot program will allow an exploration of the established links between mental and physical well-being and may, in a perfect world, delay the progression of the disease, according to Lisa Coombs Gerou, CEO of the YMCA of Marquette County.
"What's happened is exercise and nutrition have played a bigger role in prevention and reclaiming health," she said. "Chronic disease management and chronic disease prevention is a way the Y is going to be moving."
In addition to seeing medical advances, Almen said she is hoping to see a new community emerge from the program.
When she heard how cancer patients came together in the YMCA's Livestrong program, Almen began talking with Coombs Gerou about utilizing the same type of program for Alzheimer's patients.
"Those folks naturally formed a community, right there, together," Almen said. "They formed their own community and support system."
LIVEWISE will utilize similar tools and metrics as Livestrong and Almen said she wanted to focus not only on the patients, but on their loved ones.
"People give up their lives to care for a person with Alzheimer's," she said. "When that person is gone, they have nothing. It is so important that people continue to keep their lives."
At this point, the program is being funded in part by the Alzheimer's Association and by MGH. Coombs Gerou said that she would like to be able to locate outside funding in order to offer the program free-of-charge in the future.
Almen said she is looking forward to hearing anecdotal reports from LIVEWISE and being able to evaluate the results. In the future, she said, she would like to see the program expand beyond Marquette.
"I would love to see it be successful here and feel like we've had some positive impact," she said. "And I'd like to see us be able to move it to other locations in the Upper Peninsula, certainly."

text: Heart Center Taking Medications for Your Heart If you have questions about your medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Medication can be a key tool in managing heart disease. You may need several types. Some medications can help prevent the blood clots that cause heart attacks. Others can help control cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Know Your Medications Medications are prescribed in just the right doses for your heart condition. They work only if you take them exactly as directed. Take heart medications at the same time every day. This will keep the amount of medication in your bloodstream at a steady level. Set Up a Routine Some medications are best taken on an empty stomach. Others are taken with meals. A medication organizer can help you take your pills at the right time each day. You can set your watch to beep when it's time to take a pill. Or post a note on the fridge or bathroom mirror. Beware of Drug Interactions Vitamins, herbal supplements, and some over-the-counter drugs can be dangerous to take with your heart medications. Tell your doctor about all products you're taking, even simple remedies for headaches, allergies, colds, or constipation. Cope with Side Effects Some medications have side effects, such as nausea or headaches. If you have side effects, your doctor may reduce or change your medication. Never stop taking a medication or lower your dose on your own. This may cause sudden heart problems. Safety Tips Fill all your prescriptions at the same drugstore. This keeps your records in one place. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a "fact sheet" or other patient information when you start any new medication. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you have allergies to any medication. Also, mention if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Order refills a few weeks before you run out. Take plenty of pills when you travel. Store medications in a cool, dry, dark place. Never share medications with someone else. Give a copy of your medication list to your spouse or a close friend.

The chemicals, collectively known as Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), are becoming popular as replacements for those phased-out or being phased-out to protect the ozone layer-the Earth's high flying shield that filters out dangerous levels of the sun's ultra violet rays.
But a report launched today by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) projects that by 2050 HFCs could be responsible for emissions equivalent to 3.5 to 8.8 Gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon dioxide (Gt CO2eq) - comparable to total current annual emissions from transport, estimated at around 6-7 Gt annually.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "The more than 20 year-old international effort to save the ozone layer ranks among the most successful examples of cooperation and collaboration among nations-the original chemicals, known as CFCs, were phased-out globally in 2010 and countries are freezing and then phasing-out the replacements, HCFCs".
"However a new challenge is rapidly emerging as countries move ahead on HCFCs and that is HFCs. While these 'replacements for the replacement' chemicals cause near zero damage to the ozone layer, they are powerful greenhouse gases in their own right. The good news is that alternatives exist alongside technological solutions according to this international study and while assessing the absolute benefits from switching needs further scientific refinement there is enough compelling evidence to begin moving away from the most powerful HFCs today," he added.
HFCs are, along with CO2, methane and other gases, controlled under the UN's Framework Convention for Combating Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol.
Measures to protect the ozone layer are carried out under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
"Cooperative action between these treaties may be the key to fast action on HFCs, assisting to maintain momentum on recovering the ozone layer while simultaneously reducing risks of accelerated climate change," said Mr Steiner.
The new report HFCs: A Critical Link in Protecting Climate and the Ozone Layer was launched today in Bali, Indonesia, at the 23rd Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol.
The report is the first of three being launched this week by UNEP in the run up to the UN climate convention meeting in Durban, South Africa. (see Notes to Editors)
Key Findings from the HFC report
The contribution of HFCs to climate forcing is currently less than one per cent of all greenhouse gases.
The consumption of HFCs is projected to exceed the peak consumption levels in the 1980s of the old, now fully phased-out CFCs-this is primarily due to rising demand in emerging economies and a global population now above seven billion.
The report points to a range of alternatives that could ensure that the impact of HFCs remains small and equal to today's impacts.
The report points out that, with further technical developments backed by standards, investment incentives and training for technicians and workers, the introduction of alternatives to climate-damaging HFCs could be accelerated and fast-tracked.

What I'm Excited About Right Now...
So I decided to do a post to show you where my mind is at right now. There are a couple of things I'm really getting excited about in the next few weeks.
For one, June 24th is my birthday, woo hoo! I'm turning the big 25, quarter century baby! To me, this is a landmark birthday, finally marking the point where I'm for real an adult now, lol. I can rent cars without that nasty underage fee and get a break on my car insurance. It's funny, because when I was little I always thought I would be married at 25. Boy, what was I smoking? LOL
So far, the only things planned for the big birthday are:
1) Getting my hair done, finally! The BF is going to pay for it as part of my gift. I want the whole shebang – cut, base dye, highlights, and blow out. I only get my hair done like 3 times a year so I have to do it all over each time. I'm trying to grow back my hair longer again. I miss it! I realized that I just don't know how to manage and style shorter hair. It pretty much stays in my stumpy pony tail. Right now, it's already at my shoulders, luckily it grows fast. Hopefully within the next two weeks you'll see my new 'do. When I get it done, I'm going to take professional head shots for the makeup by renren business.
2) Going to get my nails done, woo wee! LOL. I've totally slacked on this…I haven't gotten my nails done since my birthday last year. Can you believe that? Before that, I was at the nail salon every month getting my spa pedicure and manicure. That was also before makeup came back into my life and sucked all my extra cash! This is going to be a present to myself. I'm thinking bright yellow nailpolish on my feet. Pursebuzz had it on one of her entries and it was too cute!
3) Fourth of July weekend—I'm going back home to Orlando and bringing the BF with me. Fortunately my parents are there, so we can save money on lodging and food. I already know my mom is going to throw down in the kitchen. My BF and I usually take trips together and we haven't gone anywhere this year. He came home with me for Christmas but we were really only in Orlando for 2 days because I couldn't get enough time off of work. This time will be better so I can show him more of my hometown.
4) Orlando MAC Pro store –Yall know that when I'm home I'll definitely make a trip to the MAC Pro store in the Millenia mall. I already warned the boyfriend. Unfortunately I never really was into MAC like I am now back when I was living in home--so I missed out!
I already have my list:
-mixing medium – water based
-matte texture
-crème color bases- white and black (great for contouring darker skin tones), and we'll see if any other bases catch my eye
-pro blush palette with pro blush colors—so far I'm eyesing azalea and apple red, I've heard good things about them on Specktra.
-15 pan pro palette with the following pro eyeshadows – ground brown, soot, symmetry, deep damson, cobalt, rose, plum, lime (last time I was there I think I got the rest of the pro shadows but these ones were out of stock)
-shadester and sculpt shaping powder in pro pan(to put in my kit), I'll need to take a look at one more for darker skin tones…any recs?
-I'll take a look at the lippies as well – any recs for the pro line?
I've been making lists on post-its everywhere trying to get ready for this trip, lol. If you guys who are lucky enough to be near Pro Stores have any further recommendations, holler at a sister!

Trying to lose weight? Why you should pay more attention to your stress hormones.
This is no news to you: Stress is just plain bad for your body, increasing your blood pressure, disrupting your sleep, upping your risk for diabetes and heart disease. And now there's evidence that stress hormones can also take a toll on your waistline, causing you to gain weight and making it super tough to slim down. It's enough to make you, well, stress out. RELATED: 43 Mini-Meditations for Busy Moms But before you do, keep in mind: Stress isn't all bad. If you're confronting a mugger or a charging bear, for example, your adrenal glands pump out cortisol, one of the stress hormones, raising your blood sugar so you have energy for the fight or flight response. If you're in an accident, cortisol acts as anti-inflammatory, "suppressing immune cells so your body can begin the healing process if you're injured," says Dr. Susan Blum, author of the new book The Immune System Recovery Plan. Acute stress, which has a starting and end point, isn't the problem. The culprit is chronic stress, which keeps the cortisol switch in the on-position. "We remember things that happened and dwell on them and worry about the future," says Blum, founder and director of the Blum Center for Health in Rye, New York. "We get stuck in a chronic stress pattern." Because our adrenal glands have no idea if we're just hashing and rehashing the crisis at work or, in fact, staring that bear down, they keep doing what they're programmed to do, producing cortisol. That keeps blood sugar levels high and tells the body to store fat, especially in the abdomen, so we have energy reserves. If that cycle continues, insulin levels rise, making matters worse. "It�s very hard to lose weight if that happens," says Blum. Stress will also make you chow down. "Some studies have shown that people exposed to ongoing stress choose calorie-dense foods that are high in fat and sugar," says Blum. What to do? Since stress isn't going to go away, the trick is to figure out how to handle it and keep your stress hormones in check, says Blum. Here are six strategies that'll help you stress less and control your weight. Tune in to chill out. Activities that foster intense focus�meditation, yoga, guided imagery and even knitting�are just a few of the things you can do to chill out. "Do something every day that is relaxing and gets you of your thinking mind and gives you a break," says Blum. "It's the ruminating about things and worrying about the future that keeps you in the on-switch." Breathe deeply. Deep-breathing techniques calm you by lowering blood pressure and slowing heart rate, triggering the so-called relaxation response. "You can train your body to have this reflex so you relax very easily," says Blum. "Late in the day when I am back to back with patients, I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths and my body quiets down very quickly." To do:� Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. As you inhale, imagine your belly puffing out; as you exhale, imagine it flattening in, she advises. Eat regularly and eat well. When you skip meals, blood sugar levels dip and your adrenal glands leap into action, churning out cortisol, explains Blum. "Not eating is a constant stress on the adrenal glands," she says. She recommends eating a meal or snack containing protein every three to four hours. Protein helps keep blood sugar at even keel "so you're not getting ups and downs," she says. Get your shut-eye. Anyone who has tossed and turned knows how tough it is to handle even little upsets or setbacks when you're bleary-eyed. "Getting a good night's sleep�a minimum of seven hours�is the best way to keep your stress system in balance," says Blum. It also curbs weight gain. University of Colorado researchers found that people who slept up to five hours a night burned five more percent more calories than people who snoozed for up to nine hours. But sleep-deprived people also consumed six percent more calories, ate smaller breakfasts and binged on after-dinner snacks. By the end of the first week, the five-hour-per-night sleepers had gained an average of two pounds each. Clean up your act. Plenty of people turn to caffeine, nicotine or alcohol to cope when stress levels climb. But all of these stress your nervous system even more. Caffeine will rev you up and alcohol is high in sugar and disrupts sleep. Depending upon your mood and the amount you inhale, nicotine can stimulate your central nervous system, raising heart rate and blood pressure and making you jittery. Exercise regularly. It burns calories, for one. It also takes you out of yourself and boosts levels of the feel-good hormones known as endorphins. "People exercise regularly feel less stress," says Blum. Aim for 30 minutes to an hour of moderate intensity exercise on most days of the week. Brought to you by: Spry Living

West Reading community takes stand against thieves who stole playground toys
WEST READING, Pa. - Tips poured into police Tuesday after a pack of thieves stole toys from a children's summer camp in Berks County.
69 News first aired the shocking crime that was captured on camera Monday. One day later, the West Reading community took a stand against the criminals and rallied behind their kids.
The children put on brave faces while they played outside at the West Reading Playground. They drew with chalk and played hool-a-hoop with some of the only toys they have left.
"Me and my friends were sad that they would take our stuff," said Joseph Anzulewicz, who attends the borough's summer playground program.
Antonia Lisa, the playground manager, spent Tuesday looking through empty lockers and compiled a list of exactly what was stolen. Unfortunately, she said it was more than the $1,000 worth they originally thought.
On Monday, West Reading police released surveillance video of adults caught on camera, who used children to help steal bags upon bags of toys that belonged to the summer playground program.
Parents of the more than 70 kids who attend the camp called the crime repulsive. On Tuesday, the community came together to help the children have a safe and fun summer.
"The leaders have created different projects and activities for them to do, how are they supposed to do that without supplies and equipment?" asked Susan Heck, whose three nephews go to the camp.
Heck and some children's parents turned to Facebook to help collect playground toys and donations to get the camp back on its feet.
"We are so grateful that they are doing this, I mean it's going to take awhile to replace everything," said Lisa.
The toys were brand new, and the crooks took nearly four hours cleaning the place out Friday night, said Lisa.
"We want them to be caught. We want our stuff back," she said.
Police believe the thieves are from the area. They looked through the surveillance video again Tuesday frame by frame, and hoped to identify the people very soon, said West Reading Detective Joe Brown.

Mariel Roberts – Nonextraneous SoundsPosted by Jay Batzner in CD Review, tags: alex mincek, andy akiho, CD Review, chamber music, daniel wohl, electronics, Jay Batzner, mariel roberts, sean friar, String quartet, Tristan Perich
Mariel Roberts, cello
innova records
- Three Shades, Foreshadows – Andy Akiho
- Teaser – Sean Friar
- Saint Arc – Daniel Wohl
- Flutter – Alex Mincek
- Formations – Tristan Perich
My favorite quote from Mariel Roberts about this disc is "I wanted to make an album that sounds like the city I live in," and I cannot think of a better aural enticement to move to New York City right now. These five solo cello/cello and electronics pieces are bustling with compelling energy and quirky sounds that constantly draw me in closer and closer. The Rodin sculpture-inspired Three Shades, Foreshadows by Andy Akiho bubbles and roils along. The electronic component stays strongly within the realm of natural sounds and the cello has been prepared with clothespins to change the pizzicato resonance. Any and all tapping and pizz sounds are used throughout the piece and the blend between live and recorded elements is perfectly seamless. Roberts has a perfect sense of timing to accentuate the grooves and create vibrant clouds of sounds.
Teaser is a monster of a solo piece in terms of technique as most of the music is made of double-stops. Roberts maintains a very playful and effortless energy throughout which belies the composition's difficulty. Teaser's form is mainly of moments which build and coagulate together into jaunty grooves (Sean Friar uses the title as a reference to the "tease" in storytelling). Teaser moves into and out of interesting spaces quite effectively and, while it doesn't go where I expect on first listen, its arrival points are always worth the trip. Similar things can be said about Daniel Wohl's Saint Arc, which brings electronics back into the mix. The piece itself uses timbral juxtapositions to build a sense of tension and release and Wohl shapes his piece quite well in that regard. Different than the Akiho work, the electronics are certainly cello-related/based sounds but the goal is the "otherness" of the sound and putting the live performer in relief to more sustains and shimmering backgrounds.
Alex Mincek's Flutter is, pretty much, a perfect encapsulation of the title. Flutter is exactly what this piece does. Shuffling sounds swirl in and out of (what I think is) an electronic accompaniment and Roberts' live cello seems to invoke these murmurs at first and then scrambles in ever-increasing counterpoint against them. If those initial sounds aren't electronic, I have no idea how it is all being done. After the piece reaches its climactic peak, Roberts exhales out all the tension which was build up. The gradual detuning of the low C string for the piece's extended final sighs is particularly haunting.
Closing the disc is the monolithic Formations by Tristan Perich for cello and 1-bit sounds. Perich's signature blend of punchy and energetic synth timbres plays alongside a focused and repetitive live cello. The cello doesn't always sit in the forefront of the musical texture which, while it makes for some interesting interplay with the synth world, might be an irritant for some. If you enjoy dynamic contrast, this is not the piece for you. The upbeat, active, and driving rhythmic interplay is always engaging and hypnotic. I find the piece right on the edge of captivating and irritating, which is a fascinating place to be. I have the feeling that you will know within 10 seconds of this piece's beginning whether or not you will want to hear the whole 20 minutes. I wanted to, and I have on several occasions.
Another mild criticism some might have of the disc would be Roberts' tone, which is much more on the edgy side of the spectrum and not the deep, dark, bassy kind of sound one would want for Brahms sonatas. I, for one, think he tone is spot on to the music she is playing which is the sign of a skilled performer. I would love to hear Roberts play something more lyrical and emotive in the future but this disc, as a presentation of Roberts' voice, really rocks. There is a gesamtkunst-at-werk going on here: the energetic performances, the matching of tone to the aesthetics of the compositions, the language of the music chosen, it all creates a "unified field theory" making every detail of this CD point back to Mariel Roberts as Someone to Which We Should Be Listening.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (326 votes).
In short: Great race. One of my favourites.In full: The promised storm didn't arrive but there was still enough weather to make it interesting, a stiff breeze & various combinations of drizzle sleet & hail. Lots of mud, achilles-strecthing quad-straining uphills, mud, pulse-raising downhills, mud, swamps, stream crossings and more mud. Recent weather meant for plenty of surface water about and much energy was dissipated through the shoe sucking oozing muddy sections which made up much of the course. This race is one of the best around for me, covering an extreme range of surfaces, friendly marshals, lovely scenery, good value & local. With the weather conditions at this time of year ever changing it means that it can be virtually a different race from year to year. Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: Wow do I ache today!In full: I couldn't believe how muddy it was and the hills just kept coming!My first time, I loved it and would recommend it to others.Well done Pewsey, excellent organisation and marshalling, fantastic spread of cakes too!Date of review: March 1, 2010
In full: Had no idea what to expect but it was absolutely brilliant, very liberating, tough and so fantastically muddy, still getting the mud out of my toes, very well organised and hats off to the marshalls they were fab.Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: Ooh, that was tough - more of a slide than a run, but good 'clean' funIn full: I recorded my slowest ever time and ended up walking a couple of times in the last mile with v painfil cramp in my thighs. Many thanks to all who gave me encouragement and pats on the back. Fantastic organisation, fantastic marshalls - except the guy who said "Well done, 8 miles done, 3 to go" before we even got to the third water stop. That threw my bearings a bit; I thought the third water stop was about 7 miles. Perhaps one or two mile markers wouldn't go amiss. Maybe they were there and I missed them, I was that kn*ckered! Great race, good atmosphere - I'll be back next year.Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: Well and truly 'beasted'In full: OK it *had* been raining a lot in the days prior but I really hadn't got my head around how muddy it was going to be.A very friendly crowd, with a real sense that we were all 'in this together' as we skidded and slid our way around. Plenty of cheerful marshalls around the course did a good job of keeping spirits up.Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: mud, hills, rivers, oh the joys!Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: Has anyone mentioned the mud?In full: My 4th time and enjoyed it just as much as ever despite being very unfit at present and recording my slowest time yet. Once again the marshals were brilliant, how do they stay so cheerful in that cold wind? Much tougher than the Turbo X and so much better value.Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: Hard, Tuff, Steep & so, so Muddy, Brilliant!In full: I had no idea what the score was... Lost me trainer in the 2nd bog. Massive hills, rope climbs, and a very, very cheeky stream crossing (above the two boys???)at the end. Great Marshalls!Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: Gurt Lush...conditions even too tough for the Terminator to make an appearance this year !In full: It's the beauty (with regards to scenery and organisation) of this complete cross country test that reminds me why I could do this sort of event every week and never bother with a road race again. By the way, did they ship in extra mud this year ? Not sure I've ever seen so much on the route. Oh, and I hope the guy who did a face plant in the bog has wrestled his way out by now.Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: wow what a run In full: The weather could have been so much worst,fantastic fun will do it again next yearDate of review: February 28, 2010

The point-to-point course winds through rock staircases threading through miles of sandstone cliffs and dense hardwoods blocking out so much of the sun's rays it almost feels like night. With 5000 feet of elevation gain, only two aid stations and rugged terrain, this race is not for sissies—or the navigationally challenged.
Sims and Womack founded UpChuck after a casual run here a few years ago. During a fateful mid-run break at a convenience store (the only time the course intercepts civilization), a ravenous Womack feasted on Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Snickers, cheese crackers and a Fig Newton. "He was just shoving the food in his face," says Sims. "A few miles down the trail, his stomach bloated like a starving Ethiopian." Womack upchucked, literally, for the last 20 miles.
This year, the convenience store rolls into sight as I pass the second aid station, at mile 19. I'm tired, but feeling good--this is my day! And then, I take a wrong step off a rock that sends a shooting pain up my right IT band. I try to shake it, but the pain won't release and I resort to walking.
In the next section, I hurdle foot-diameter pipes flung carelessly across the landscape along with downed trees, like someone uprooted the forest floor in search of a missing key. These are remnants of the invasive rock mining that happened here before the Cumberland Trail Conference (CTC) intervened, in 2007.
"Part of the vision for UpChuck was to foster awareness," says Womack. "The water pollution due to sediment runoff and complete destruction of the hardwood trees is appalling." This year the grass-roots event brought in $1000 for the CTC.
Limping along, I glance up to see my boyfriend, Jeremy Duncan, scurrying toward me. I rationalize he must have finished the race already and is running back to cheer me on. "I'm lost," he growls. "I followed pink ribbon on a turn and ended up on private property." I look at him, confused, "Perhaps you're color blind." His face contorts with fury.
The race website clearly states: "If you are prone to getting lost, do NOT show up for this event." I repeated this to Jeremy several times before the start. Men don't listen.
With less than six miles to go, a pack of runners whiz by me. Among them is Deborah Livingston, a top Northeast trail competitor and new mother, who wins the women's race in 5:39:05. "I need rock and root and ups and downs to be fast. This race played to my strengths," says Deborah after her finish.
As I near the finish (there is no actual line), I see Chad's dad flipping burgers and brats and a frustrated Jeremy (who got lost again while running through town). I take my final step and scribble my name and finishing time down on a large sheet of paper tacked to the side of the shelter. I'm delirious, but the smell of burgers is overwhelming and I inhale two.
Though I haven't heard about anyone UpChucking this year, I'm willing to bet someone is just it keeping a secret.

He wasn't out to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
He didn't have South Beach on his mind, but the Cuyahoga River.
He didn't imagine this last spring when he won his second MVP award in a row and the No. 1-seeded Cavaliers looked as if they would stroll to the Eastern finals, with only Orlando between them and the long-awaited LeBron- Kobe Bryant Finals matchup.
Even after their fall in the second round to Boston, James remained open to — or intent on — staying … if the Cavaliers could bring someone in.
Unfortunately, with Toronto ready to take Anderson Varejao and J.J. Hickson in a sign-and-trade, Bosh turned it down.
By then, Amare Stoudemire was New York-bound.
An NBA source says the Cavaliers then offered Mo Williams and Jamario Moon for the Clippers' Baron Davis, desperate to please James, who likes Baron and was down on Mo ... even with newly hired Coach Byron Scott having clashed with Davis in New Orleans.
Realizing he was the only star who wanted to be in Cleveland, James made his announcement on that ESPN special — "going, aptly, to My-Am-Me [which] played like 'The Bachelor,' without the rose for the winner," wrote the New York Times' Maureen Dowd, taking a break from lampooning presidents
So much for the charmed portion of that life.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-leb ... ory?page=1
I don't really believe this is how it went down. I believe the parts about the Cavs throwing everything they could to get Baron Davis and Bosh were true, but I truly believe that looking back on it, lebron wanted to get out, he hates the city and is an attention whoring douche.

Malone man to serve as interim assistant principal
LAKE PLACID – The Lake Placid school board has appointed an interim assistant principal to serve out the remainder of the school year.
The board unanimously approved the temporary hiring of Michael Fellion at a special meeting Tuesday night. The Malone resident will step in to help interim middle-high school Principal Rick Retrosi.
"We're very happy to have him," school board President Mary Dietrich told the Enterprise.
Dietrich said Fellion, a Malone resident, has worked as a principal in the past and has experience with the Annual Professional Performance Review evaluations, which districts must complete to comply with new state Education Department requirements.
"We're really very thankful that he's available and willing to come in on such short notice and help us out," Dietrich said. "This will allow Rick to really just focus on the APPR evaluations. We should be able to get those completed this year. That's still going to be a time crunch, and that is a concern because Rick is having to do all of them in less than half a year now."
The appointment is effective Feb. 19 through June 30. Fellion will be paid a per-diem rate of $311 over a period of 93 days.
The appointment shores up the school district's administration for the time being, following months of turnover that began last spring when former LPMHS Principal Katherine Mulderig left her position after accepting a settlement agreement tied to an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint involving district Superintendent Randy Richards.
After Mulderig left, former Assistant Principal Dan Mayberry stepped down to become principal of Keene Central School, and the board announced that it would not renew Richards' contract at the end of the 2012-13 school year.
Greg Camelo and Retrosi were brought in as interim high school and middle school principals, respectively, at the beginning of the school year. In November, a finalist for the principal position pulled out, sending the district back to the drawing board in its search for a permanent hire. Retrosi agreed to keep working through the end of the year, while Camelo opted to step down.
Jon Fremante was subsequently hired as interim dean of students to help with discipline at the middle-high school while Retrosi works on teacher evaluations. Additionally, the board voted 5-2 in December to appoint Roger Catania to a one-year term as superintendent, effective July 1.
The board recently agreed on three-principal model – one each at the elementary, middle and high schools – and will soon begin searching for a new principal with help from the Franklin-Essex-Hamilton Board of Cooperative Educational Services. The goal is to start the 2013-14 school year with permanent hires in place.
