Remarks by
William Julius Wilson, Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor, Harvard University; Director, Joblessness and Urban Poverty Research Program, Harvard Kennedy School; and Author, More than Just Race: Being Black and Poor in the Inner City
Commentary by
Molly Baldwin, Executive Director, Roca, which serves high-risk youth in Chelsea, Revere, and East Boston
Reverend Jeffrey Brown, Executive Director, The Boston Ten Point Coalition
Can we talk about issues of race and poverty in ways that are productive, honest, and useful? Historically, such discussions have been extremely difficult, particularly when they included references to cultural factors that might contribute to persistent racial inequality. In his new book, noted sociologist William Julius Wilson challenges both liberal and conservative dogmas and presents a new framework for understanding – and addressing – the problem of racial inequality. Will this approach be effective with both policymakers and the young people that the policies aim to help?

Nagin indicted on 21 counts
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has been indicted on 21 federal corruption charges including wire fraud, bribery and money laundering.
The charges are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen.
The counts include wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, filing false tax returns and conspiracy.
Nagin, a former cable television executive, was a political novice before being elected to his first term as mayor in 2002, buoyed by strong support from white voters.
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 elevated Nagin to the national stage, where he gained a reputation for colorful and sometimes cringe-inducing rhetoric.
During a radio interview broadcast in the storm's early aftermath, he angrily pleaded with federal officials to "get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."
In January 2006, he apologized for a Martin Luther King Day speech in which he predicted New Orleans would be a
"chocolate city"
and asserted that "God was mad at America."
Strong support from black voters helped Nagin win re-election in 2006 despite widespread criticism of his post-Katrina leadership. But the glacial pace of rebuilding, a surge in violent crime and the budding City Hall corruption investigation chipped away at Nagin's popularity during his second term.
Nagin could not seek a third consecutive term because of term limits. Mitch Landrieu, who ran against Nagin in 2006, succeeded him in 2010.
Nagin has largely steered clear of the political arena since he left office. On his Twitter account, he describes his current occupations as author, public speaker and "green energy entrepreneur." He wrote a self-published memoir called "Katrina's Secrets: Storms After the Storm."
Ah, politicians. Gotta love them, they're better than us.

Tummy Tuck Review - Sewell, NJ
I was satisfied with my tummy tuck surgery. Dr. LaVan corrected my stomach with a full tummy tuck after having lipo done someplace else that made my stomach skin looser. I am most happy that the tummy tuck scar is very thin and practically unnoticeable. I have a flat stomach and you can see the outline of my six pack and with exercise it makes it even better looking. I would definitely... READ MORE

I am Jeff Kaine. I am not Geoff Kaine, yet that misspelling often happens. Yes, I am the one and only Jeff Kaine. I am not Jeffrey Kaine, I do not like being called that name at all – I prefer to be known as Jeff Kaine. So what does Jeff Kaine do for a living I hear you ask? Well, I am freelance and I will do anything, well almost anything that helps me get my bread buttered at the end of the week. LOL.
Jeff Kaine Photography
I have been known to take the odd photograph, although calling me a photographer is pushing it a bit. You can see examples of Jeff Kaine photography on my gallery page, and you will see that I do need to get around to improving my photo taking skills one day, and my photography page for that matter. Why would anyone want old Jeff Kaine to take photographs I don't really know, but hey a guy has got to do something to earn his corn, and pay for his hobbies, wouldn't you agree.

Sep 13, 2009 - Hands down the best haircut I have ever received! Luvena asked me what I wanted and made suggestions. The DevaCurl product demonstration was so helpful as well! The product is wonderful and the cut is even better. My curls have never looked this healthy, touchable, and full of bounce. I have heavy hair so I usually get the crunchy look in an attempt to have all day hold. I also have all day humidity control now! I LOVE this cut and the DevaCurl products!

A novel two dimensional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor system with a multi-point sensing region is described. The use of multiplied beam splitting optics, as a core technology, permitted multi-point sensing to be achieved. This system was capable of simultaneously measuring nine sensing points. Calibration curves for sucrose obtained on nine sensing points were linear in the range of 0–10% with a correlation factor of 0.996–0.998 with a relative standard deviation of 0.090–4.0%. The detection limits defined as S/N = 3 were 1.98 × 10−6–3.91 × 10−5 RIU. This sensitivity is comparable to that of conventional SPR sensors.
SPR is one of the most powerful analytical methods for evaluating biomolecular interactions in real-time without the need for labeling. Using SPR, it is possible to measure changes in refractive index on the small and thin area of the sensor chip surface. Because of these benefits, SPR sensors have been widely used for detecting various chemical and biological compounds in the laboratory in the fields of environmental analysis [
It is noteworthy that the use of SPR sensor systems has been undergoing a change. For example, in novel drug projects in the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology, a compact desktop type SPR sensor system with a higher throughput would be desirable [
In order to comply with these needs, an SPR sensor system with higher throughput with multi-channel sensing points and a more compact size is desired. In the case of a conventional type SPR sensor system, which is comprised of a Kretschmann configuration system [
The first type employs a fan shaped mono-chromatic beam as the surface plasmon incident light source with a hemi-circular prism as the surface plasmon coupler [
The second type uses a particular fixed angle small point mono-chromatic beam as the surface plasmon incident light source with a triangular or a hemi-circular prism as the surface plasmon coupler [
The third type is a combination of the optic systems discussed above. An angle scanning mono-chromatic beam is used as an incident light to form a fan-like shaped beam. The incident light is achieved using a galvanometer based optical scanner, or by moving the position of the beam along the center of the sensing point of the prism surface using a rotary stage [
In general, these SPR optical configurations have a point or a line shaped sensing region that is approximately 10 to 20 mm in length and 100 μm wide on a sensor chip. In order to achieve a higher throughput measurement system, it is necessary to have a number of flow channels so that multiple samples can be measured simultaneously, and a high speed sample changing fluid system. However, the number of flow cell channels that can be placed on the sensing region for multi-sensing are limited to 20 channels because a flow cell cannot be placed in narrow line shaped sensing region.
On the other hand, another approach to resolving these issues is an SPR imaging system [
These conventional SPR systems are almost desktop in size. Considering the fact that they are used for on-site analysis, they may not be suitable, because of the size, weight and cost of the instrumentation.
In previous studies, we reported on the development of portable SPR sensor optics and sensor chips with dual- [
In this study, we wish to report on the development of a novel two dimensional SPR sensor system with a nine point sensing region on the sensor chip at intervals of
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) prepolymer (Sylpot 184), and its curing agent were obtained from Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Sucrose was obtained from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Osaka, Japan). All dilution steps were performed with Millipore filtered water from a Milli-Q system (Nihon Millipore, Tokyo, Japan).
The optical system was constructed on an aluminum optical base plate (BBA6-200-300, 300 mm in width × 200 mm in height, MISUMI Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The light source, the multiplied nine laser beams optic, was set on a rotary stage (RPG38, MISUMI Corporation) as the
The light beams from the multiple beam splitter optics entered the trapezoidal prism directly. The center beam of the nine beams was set to the center of the surface of the Au sensor chip. The reflected light beams were then passed through the polarizer to eliminate s-polarized light. The detector was set so that the each beam reached the corresponding photodiode element respectively.
The working distance between the center of the prism and the center of light beam source was 94 mm at 70 degrees of incident light. The p-polarized light of the reflected light corresponding to the SPR was measured under dark room conditions. The signal of the SPR sensor was obtained by subtracting the dark current signal from the observed signal. The photocurrent from each photodiode was converted to voltage by current to voltage circuit (
First, as shown in
In the case of water based sample solution measurement, the system must be set for a specific initial incident light angle position before the measurement. To seek the angle, the SPR sensor response for an aqueous sample from 68 to 72 degrees was measured in 0.2 degree steps. For angle position settings, the position of the stages was set using scale marks stamped on the stages. First, 20 μL of matching oil was placed on the prism surface. The sensor chip fluidics were then placed on the prism surface tightly and filled with water. The SPR curves obtained on nine measurement points are shown in
The basic performance of the 2D SPR sensor was evaluated using several concentrations of sucrose solutions. To measure the background light intensity, water was allowed to flow at rate of 50 μL/min for 5 min. Then, 150 μL of sucrose solutions, the concentrations of which were from 2 to 10 wt%, were sequentially injected at 10 min intervals.
The nine sensorgrams cannot be compared with each other in terms of raw data, since the intensity of the laser beam from the multiplied beam splitter is different. Therefore, to prepare a calibration curve, the calibrated intensity data of nine sensorgrams is required. The intensity of the calibrated data (
The optical system developed in this study is superior to other systems in scalability because it is comprised of a simple optical configuration without a lens. The size of all of the optical elements from the light source to the prism and detector can be readily changed by scaling-up or scaling-down. This feature can be realized by changing the size of the trapezoidal prism for sample installation, the number of multiplied laser beams, the thickness of sputtered chromium for the light intensity of each beam, the intervals of the beams and the number of detectors.
When the optical elements are miniaturized, it becomes possible to manufacture a palm-sized multichannel SPR system using micro-sample cells. When the optical elements are enlarged, a SPR system using a 96-well microtiter plate as a measurement cell can be manufactured. Since no lens is used in this SPR sensor system for the convergence of light paths, the manufacturing costs can be expected to be modest and the size of the system would be compact compared to the conventional systems used currently.

Citation: White, J.V., Guenter, P., Jensen, G.L., Malone, A., Schofield, M. 2012. Consensus Statement of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition: Characteristics Recommended for the Identification and Documentation of Adult. Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. 112(5):730-738. Interpretive Summary: Malnutrition is a major contributor to increased morbidity and mortality as well as increased function and quality of life, increased frequency and length of hospital stay and higher health care costs. The work resulted in the development of a definition of malnutrition in adults in all settings. A more standardized approach to defining and diagnosing malnutrition will lead to better treatment and prevention.
Technical Abstract: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) recommend that a standardized set of diagnostic characteristics be used to identify and document adult malnutrition in routine clinical practice. An etiologically based diagnostic nomenclature that incorporates a current understanding of the role of the inflammatory response on malnutrition's incidence, progression, and resolution is proposed. Universal use of a single set of diagnostic characteristics will facilitate malnutrition's recognition, contribute to more valid estimates of its prevalence and incidence, guide interventions, and influence expected outcomes. This standardized approach will also help to more accurately predict the human and financial burdens and costs associated with malnutrition's prevention and treatment, and further ensure the provision of high quality, cost effective nutritional care.

Health News of Tuesday, 11 June 2013
Source: Graphic.com.gh
The four-year reign of Professor Ohene Adjei as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) has witnessed a remarkable improvement in the delivery of services by the hospital.
On a visit to the hospital on Thursday, this reporter saw a modern eye centre which was constructed jointly by the hospital and USAID to train medical students and nurses in the provision of eye care.
A source close to the hospital management said it was one of the best eye centres which could be found in West Africa.
This reporter also saw painting works being undertaken on the A-D Old Block to give it a beautiful touch.
Through effective and prudent management, the hospital, which hitherto had only one 148 KVA generator and other two small ones, now has 1,000 KVA generators for the Accident & Emergency Unit, which it received from the Ministry of Health (MoH).
There is another 800 KVA generator serving theatres, an oxygen plant, the polyclinic and the mortuary.
The hospital, through its internally generated fund (IGF), has procured two 500 KVA generators for the Old Block and has also procured 12 water tanks, each with a 11,000-litre capacity to support the water system in the hospital, the source said.
A walkway has also been constructed to provide easy access to the wards in cases of emergency.
This reporter also saw an eight-bedroom guest house constructed by the hospital at Pine Avenue to accommodate visiting lecturers around the world at a subsidised rate.
Hitherto, these people were accommodated in hotels, which cost the hospital a lot of money, the source said.

Re: Take THIS, World!
I feel as if I could.... as if I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!! Purple Tentacle, I was inspired by your bravado, fearlessness, and delusions of grandeur, and I believe these traits are what lead me to become a professional artist. This is an homage to LucasArts, whose point and click adventure games inspired my current career track in video games. Day of the Tentacle was one of my favorite games growing up. All of us in the industry were disheartened about the news of the studio closure. Wishing the former LucasArts employees the best.
As an aside, I screwed up my left arm last week on a fall, but it's still intact- that lead to me thinking about how grateful I am that I still have (mostly functioning) arms.

Great Neighbors: Bonneville Youth Development Council
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - A local youth service group is helping the community.
The old Peaches Pet store on Yellowstone in Idaho Falls is being remodeled by Habitat for Humanity into a home improvement thrift store. The Bonneville Youth Development Council, always looking for ways to serve, is helping Habitat for Humanity.
BYDC is a group of Bonneville county youth ages 12 to 18 that want to get involved in service in the community. They meet once a week to plan service projects, social activities and other events.
"Just for the good of the community - just to make everything better and surround ourselves with positive influences," Nick Chaffin says.
These teens answered the need, and with brooms and shovels and brute strength as they tackled the project. This is the same group that gives trapped sober presentations at local schools - encouraging kids to stay away from drugs and alcohol.
"We represent the youth in our community that are drug free and are alcohol free. We want to show the community that not all teens do that kind of stuff and we want to encourage other teens not to," Rebecca Nelson says.
There was an excitement and energy in the air -- plenty of smiles and laughs even though the work was hard. The teens found it rewarding.
"It just makes you feel really good inside just knowing that you're helping out such a great cause like Habitat for Humanity," Nick Chaffin says.
If you want to get involved you can Contact BYDC at (208) 528-0153 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

How To Remove Acoustic Popcorn Ceilings
Here is a video for those who wonder how to remove an acoustic popcorn ceiling. I have removed many popcorn ceilings and a few tips and tricks about what really are tips, tricks, and what does and doesn't always work.
Video of how to remove popcorn
This method works well on unpainted popcorn ceiling, if it has been painted sometimes all you can do is use paint scrapers and scrape it all off.
With regards to painted popcorn...there are several methods that can work...
Lots of water.
Vinegar sometimes helps when added.
Or soak the ceiling and peel the layer of paint off first, then scrape the popcorn off.
If you have use a paint scraper, it might not be popcorn.
Hey. Im trying to skim a ceiling for the first time. But wen I am pulling back the plaster seems too come off any one no wat im doin wrong

That set off a series of three other transactions at Springfield and Palm Beach as the organization backfilled Garcia and those who replaced him.
The 24-year-old Garcia is 8-for-21 (.381) over those last six games and has an overall line of .270/.357/.378 in his first 13 outings since his August 5 promotion from Springfield. The native of Venezuela also appeared in 18 games for the Redbirds in 2011.
Albitz spent the first half of the 2012 season with A-Advanced Palm Beach, batting .266 (33-for-124) with 13 RBI, 15 runs and five doubles in 43 Florida State games.
The right-handed hitter was acquired from an independent league team last August before joining Batavia to finish the 2011 season.
Pritchard began 2012 in extended spring training, then spent a week in Palm Beach in May before returning to EST. The right-handed hitter then was assigned to Springfield for another week that same month for injury coverage without appearing in a game before another trip back to EST.
Shortly after, Pritchard was moved to Quad Cities, where he remained until being returned to Palm Beach on July 17. In 60 games between those two clubs, he has logged a line of .270/.333/.271. Pritchard fanned 56 times in 130 at-bats. He was signed as a non-drafted free agent last June.
Since joining Palm Beach on August 2, the 23-year-old has just one single and three walks in 13 plate appearances for a line of .100/.308/.100. The left-handed hitter also appeared earlier this season with Batavia and Quad Cities. Overall, Reyes' 2012 line is .223/.312/.293.

Other specifications of interest include a claimed contrast ratio of 4,500:1 made possible by a dynamic backlight system that dims the set's brightness during dark scenes to boost black level response, and a connections panel which includes two HDMIs, a PC port, a digital audio throughput, and a USB input for digital photo viewing on top of all the more basic stuff you'd expect to find on any TV worthy of the name.
It has to be said that a third HDMI and some v1.3 HDMI compatibility (those on the Compose 40 are v1.2 affairs) might have been appreciated on a £3k 40in TV. But then maybe this is the price you have to pay for the amount of lead time needed to get a chassis/platform as flexible and unusual as the Loewe's off the page and onto a production line.
Day-to-day use of the Compose 40 is not exactly a barrel of laughs. The remote control is thankfully a big improvement over the horror shows of many Loewe TVs past, but the onscreen menus are so obsessed with taking up as little screen space as possible that they require extremely unwieldy and non-intuitive trawls through confusing sub-menus.
The Compose 40 does sport a rather excellent on-screen interactive instruction manual which we'd like to see introduced on every TV, frankly. But ironically this doesn't in any way solve the menu problems.
Once the proud owners of some of the best picture quality available in CRT days, Loewe hasn't necessarily found the transition to the flat world particularly easy. But we're pleased to say that the Compose 40's picture quality is easily the best we've seen from a Loewe LCD.
The picture's sharpness is especially telling, as the combination of the full HD pixel count and clever Image+ engine ensures that no HD pixel is left unturned in the quest for immaculate HD quality. And so if you've ever doubted the extra quality of Gears of War's graphics over those of Halo 3, this TV will put you straight. Or if you've seen HD films shown on rubbish LCD TVs and struggled to understand what all the fuss is about, this screen's handling of particularly detailed HD moments like the Skull Island scenes on the King Kong HD DVD, will reveal the glorious truth.
It's worth adding as a side note to this that the Compose 40's HD images are particularly noiseless too, thanks to the perfect match between the resolutions of the screen and source HD image.
The Loewe TV is ok but don't ever buy from Loewe Galerie in Kendal.
They are horrendous, they sold me a connect package which does not work with itunes without spending hours converting your library. They never returned calls, eventually turned up to take the connect package off and now I am still waiting for a refund 1 month later. Decide for yourself!

Andrzej Kozlowski,
I read the article when it was linked from (I think) Slashdot a while
ago, so I have had time to think about it and form an opinion.
Basically, I do believe that software bloat does exist. However, many
features, while they may be computationally inefficient, are actually
quite convenient and useful. How many times have you lost something
beyond the first undo level in Mathematica? Wouldn't multiple undo
levels have been useful? I understand that the feature will decrease
performance (even further, heh), but I do not think the optimum
balance of features vs. performance has been attained here.

**PLEASE FORWARD this call**

PASSAGE & PLACE Print Project

 Call for submissions:

 The concept of Home is often defined by one's relationship to place- one's connection to, or displacement from, a geographical or structural location. In thinking about diaspora, a person's Home may be a place they have never physically been- it may be less of a physical place and more of a conceptual one. When considering chosen and forced im/emigration, incarceration, or territories occupied by military force, one's concept of Home may not simply be defined by a single static place- or by place at all. In the context of queer identities, many of us who have chosen to disengage, or have been disowned from our families of origin, define Home through our interpersonal relationships to chosen family and community.

 Some of us may associate particular people in our lives with a sense of Home. For some of us, Home may be laden in the sight of an object, a smell, a sound, a phrase. One's concept of Home may be best conjured up by the act of movement, the practice of tradition, or the retelling of significant events.

 What is it that signifies Home to you? Consider drafting a letter to that place/person/object/etc.

 Imagine being able to communicate with Home directly-- what would you say? What is your relationship to each other at this point in time? Has it changed? If so, in what ways? What lies in the space between you and Home?

 This is a call for letters written, and visual art created from You to Home. A collection of these letters and images will be bound and printed into an anthology released in conjunction with the National Queer Arts Festival, 2014.

 Final deadline to submit work is 5pm on March 1st, 2014.

 **PLEASE FORWARD this call**

 EMAIL SUBMISSIONS to firstname.lastname@example.com

 MAIL SUBMISSIONS (we ♥ letters!) to:
 Passage & Place
 PO Box 22469
 Oakland CA 94609

 Submissions will not be returned, so please don't send originals. Along with your submission, please include a 2-3 line bio about yourself, as well as contact information.

 Letters should be kept to 1,000 words or less. Visual art should be formatted to 6"x9" or "9x12". Scanned images should be 300dpi.

 Selected letters and visual art will be displayed during the PASSAGE & PLACE exhibition in June 2014.

 Contributors selected for print will receive a copy of the printed anthology.

 Abstract:

 PASSAGE & PLACE aims to connect conversations of localized displacement and gentrification to more expansive conversations around immigration, imprisonment, community building across intersections, mental health and spirit, and the ways in which queerness interfaces with these. How do our individual and collective bodies affect and politicize the spaces around them, and how do the spaces around us affect and politicize our individual and collective bodies? How are notions of movement/displacement and freedom/confinement constructed, informed by, critiqued, and deconstructed by our individual and collective identities? In what ways do the coping mechanisms of trauma and dissociation transform into intentional acts of strengthening?

 PASSAGE & PLACE asks its participants and audience to connect their own experience to a broader narrative about the impacts of movement and place-making in physical, liminal, and metaphorical space in three parts: an art exhibition, a panel discussion of participating artists, and a printed anthology of visual and written works.The printed project will incorporate works of art sourced via an open call for contributions, a curated collection of essays, and letters from both free-world artists/writers and queer prisoners.

 PASSAGE & PLACE is curated and coordinated by Annah Anti-Palindrome and Lex Non Scripta.

Call for submissions for stitches: a critical dialogue with queer/dyke culture

Cis white lesbians do not own dyke or queer women's culture. This is about rejecting transphobic pseudo-radical feminist discourse. Let's imagine what a truly radical inclusive queer dyke culture could look like. Submissions can take any form. Rants, raves, poems, personal anecdotes, essays, song lyrics, drawings, collages etc. are all welcome.

Call for submissions for stitches: a critical dialogue with queer/dyke culture

Cis white lesbians do not own dyke or queer women's culture. This is about rejecting transphobic pseudo-radical feminist discourse. Let's imagine what a truly radical inclusive queer dyke culture could look like. Submissions can take any form. Rants, raves, poems, personal anecdotes, essays, song lyrics, drawings, collages etc. are all welcome.

Topic ideas:

- What is queer? What is dyke? Are you one, both or neither?

- Transmisogyny, how have you experienced or witnessed it, how can we fight it and stand in solidarity against it?

- Racism in queer/dyke spaces, tokenization of women of color

- Bi/queerphobia in dyke communities, busted ideas about lesbian "purity" and "gold star" status, how can we change or resist them

- Words like womyn, grrrl and persyn; are they necessary any more?

- Butch/femme, how CAFAB masculinity is privileged, queer femme invisibility, passing

- Desires. How do you fuck? How do your sexuality and gender intersect?

- Violence and rape in queer/dyke communities, survivor experiences

- Queer/trans-positive anarcha-feminism; state or police violence

- How economic inequality, reproductive injustice, health care and employment discrimination, street harassment etc. affects queers, dykes, trans and cis women all together

- Women's space in general: useful or irrelevant? can they exist without erasing non-binary folx, intersex folx, women of color or non-lesbians? Punk culture and/or riot grrrl?

- Best practices for allies – listening, honoring anger, taking responsibility

- Open letters: what do you need from queers, dykes and/or women?

Why is this zine called Stitches?: To stitch is to mend. Think about stitching up a wound. It requires the painful puncture of a needle, reunion and gradual healing of torn flesh. This is an analogy for a process that queer/dyke communities need to go through. We need tough conversations. We need to abandon inaccurate ideas.

Who can submit: Open to all! I strive to center POC, trans women, non-binary people, intersex people, and people with disabilities.

Why am I doing this: I'm a genderqueer butch dyke grrrl who has been told that I can't be dyke because I'm fat, non-binary, queer-not-lesbian, engaged to a CAMAB person and kinky. I'm also sick of queers dumping on trans women. I don't think that it is always their job to fight transmisogyny. Cis women and CAFAB people need to call each other's bullshit and listen to trans women if we are ever going to get anywhere.

Format: 8 1/2 x 7" (recycled legal paper folded in half), b&w pages with color cover, staple bound. I'm aiming for 12-16 pages for the first issue.

Deadline: November 6, 2011.

News in the Daily Mirror today that Newcastle may be after former Southampton winger Jason Puncheon.
Jason Puncheon – in action against Everton
There were rumors in January that Newcastle may be interested in the player, and that Newcastle may have tried to bring him in on loan as a replacement for Wayne Routledge, who had been loaned out to QPR.
But on the last day of the transfer window, while Newcastle were selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool and trying to bring somebody in to replace him, Jason joined Blackpool on loan through the end of the season.
Puncheon has looked good at Blackpool, and in 3 games so far has scored a couple of good goals, one recently against Chelsea.
The player turns 25 in late June and started his career at Wimbledon back in 2003.
He has played already for a whole host of clubs, including Wimbledon, Milton Keynes Dons, Fisher Athletic, Barnet, Plymouth Argyle, Southampton, Milwall and Blackpool.
And by our reckoning the Croydon-born player has played 228 games with 38 goals so far in his career, and looks a fairly decent player.
It seems certain that Newcastle will bring in at least two wingers over the summer, and the Tyneside club have already been linked with a few players who play out on the wing and can score goals, including Gervinho of Lille and Jeremain Lens of PSV.
We think Jason would be a decent buy for Newcastle, if indeed they try to sign him in the summer, and Alan Pardew knows the player having worked briefly with him while he was at Southampton.
What do you think of this player?
Comments welcome.

Are we finally seeing the effect of Ed Miliband's expensive investment in David Axelrod? As the New Republic pointed out in 2010:
'Food mishaps are central to the Axelrod mystique. He was famous during the campaign for having disabled a BlackBerry with a stray piece of donut glaze. He once convened a meeting with a gravity-defying clump of oatmeal clinging to the frame of his glasses.'
The magic touch of Obama's famous strategist, hired at for inordinate sum by the Labour Party, seems to be rubbing off on Ed as he visited Covent Garden Flower Market this morning for a bacon sarnie.

Young Athletes
Related Information
Developing Skills for Success
Young Athletes™ is an innovative sports play program for children with intellectual disabilities, ages 3-7, designed to introduce them to the world of sports, prior to Special Olympics eligibility at age 8. The program focuses on the development of fundamental physical skills and the application of those skills through general fitness and recreational activities.
Created in consultation with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, the activities foster cognitive and social development, muscular strength, hand-eye coordination and balance. The Special Olympics Kansas (SOKS) program offers two levels of participation. The level one "Motor Skills" clinics focus on the development of motor skills and hand-eye coordination for participants, ages 3-7, while the level two "Little Feet" clinics teach children, ages 5-7, how to apply those physical skills through participation in soccer, track and field, and group exercises and activities.
Metro – Lawrence – Every Sunday evening, June 4 – July 9, 4-4:45p.m
South Central – Contact Ali Barnard if you are interested in scheduling a program – firstname.lastname@example.com.
Southeast – Contact Chris Burt if you are interested in a program in this area – firstname.lastname@example.com.
Click on the links to download the event flyers. Contact Terri Price if you wish to schedule a program in your area – email@example.com or 913.236.9290 Ext.109. A minimum of five children ages 3-7, with intellectual disabilities is required to set up a program.
Offered in one hour, family friendly sessions; parents and younger siblings are encouraged to participate. The activities are designed to be used by parents in the home or a preschool/school environment, with a playgroup or in a one-on-one situation. Young, intellectually disabled children who participate in the Motor Skills clinics are provided an activity kit, along with user friendly instructions, to take home and continue working on their skills with their families.
The clinic activities consist of:
- Foundational Skills
- Walking & Running
- Balance & Jumping
- Trapping & Catching
- Throwing
- Striking
- Kicking
- Advanced Skills
Full details of the activities are available in the Young Athlete™ Activity Guide. Click on this link to view videos of the activities.
Special Olympics Kansas is excited about this program that builds confidence and brings families together while introducing them to the world of Special Olympics. One program director shared the tangible benefits:
"The first time Milo came he told me he was nervous and did not think he could do it. I told him I would help him and he agreed to try. When it came time to jump from one dot to the next, down a line, I helped him on one side and a volunteer on the other. Milo jumped successfully down the line. He broke into the biggest smile I had ever seen and pride just radiated, illuminating the entire gym. I looked over at his parents and they were beaming with tears in their eyes. In that moment, I thought to myself, "this is why we are here. This one family's experience makes everything worth it." The great news is that we get to experience a Milo-like moment every week."
In addition, the program works towards the following objectives:
- Raising awareness about the abilities of children with intellectual disabilities through inclusive peer participation, demonstrations and group activities;
- Providing children with intellectual disabilities developmentally appropriate play activities designed to foster physical, cognitive, and social development;
- Promoting social development through group activities;
- Developing muscular strength and endurance through repetitions, hand-eye coordination, and balance;
- Providing an experience that will lead to an appreciation of fitness, and sport for the whole family; and
- Welcoming family members of children with intellectual disabilities to the Special Olympics network of support.
Introduced in 2009 in the Metro area, the program has expanded to include clinics throughout the state. We are currently looking for potential families to be involved, volunteers willing to be trained to facilitate clinics in their region, and sites to host the Young Athletes™ Programs.
Contact Terri Price, email@example.com or 913-236.9290 Ext. 109 for more information or download the registration form, complete and mail to the SOKS Headquarters Office, 5280 Foxridge Drive, Mission, KS 66202.
