Safe Routes To School Low-Income Program Evaluation Report Released
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 11, 2010
Jill Cooper, MSW, Asst. Director, UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center
Tracy McMillan, Ph.D., MPH, President, PPH Partners
Robert Ping, State Network Director, Safe Routes to School National Partnership
Comprehensive Report Analyzes Ten Schools
San Diego, CA – Today, the Safe Routes to School National Partnership (Partnership), in collaboration with UC Berkeley's Safe Transportation Research and Education Center and PPH Partners, released the report, Safe Routes to School - Local School Project: A health evaluation at 10 low-income schools. The report was released at the Active Living Research Conference in San Diego, California.
The Local School Project (Project) began in April 2008 to provide technical assistance to Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs at ten schools around the United States to help make it safer and easier for children to walk and bicycle to school. Projects schools were located in Santa Rosa, California; Belvedere County, Georgia; Urbana, Illinois; Lebanon, Kentucky; New Orleans, Louisiana; Buffalo, New York; Stillwater, Oklahoma; Bryan, Texas; Alexandria, Virginia; and the District of Columbia) and concluded in December 2009, after one full academic year of program activities.
Overall, the results indicated that there was good progress toward achieving many of the desired outcomes for the Project as a whole. While the results also revealed challenges in promoting SRTS in communities and schools with economic and social challenges, almost all of the school sites reported some amount of policy and environmental change occurring during the academic year in support of walking and bicycling. Additionally, nine out of ten schools had successful walk/bicycle educational and encouragement activities that will continue into future years.
The Project was also successful in increasing the positive perception and awareness of walking and bicycling among the parent population at many of the sites. All of the sites, regardless of local challenges, were able to initiate SRTS program activities and/or environmental/policy changes, and most received additional funds for SRTS efforts in the future.
The Project and the resulting evaluation is one of the first multi-school SRTS programs and evaluations conducted specifically in low-income communities in the United States. The goals of the project were to: 1) create and evaluate a school-based SRTS program, 2) build local capacity to apply for state or federal SRTS funding, 3) increase safe walking and bicycling to and from the school and in the community, and 4) develop lessons learned to help other practitioners and evaluators with Safe Routes to School, particularly those working in low-income settings. Funding for the evaluation and the Project itself was provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente, with Project support also coming from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The report presents the formal evaluation of the Project and includes the results, lessons learned and recommendations identified during the 20-month period. The report provides insights as to what is needed to launch a successful SRTS program in communities where resources are limited, to evaluate program effectiveness, and to identify complex barriers that can be difficult to address. The report also includes a link to a SRTS Evaluation Handbook that will help local SRTS programs effectively evaluate their programs.
About Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School is a national program designed to make it safe, fun and convenient to walk and bicycle to and from school. A generation ago, approximately half of all school-age children walked or bicycled to school. Today, less than 15% of children walk or bicycle to schools. Concerned by the health and traffic implications of this decline, Congress provided a total of $612 million in federal funding in 2005 for all State Departments of Transportation to develop Safe Routes to School programs. The funding is being used to launch education campaigns and to make capital improvements such as building new sidewalks, bike lanes and pathways in communities.
About the Safe Routes to School National Partnership
The Safe Routes to School National Partnership is a network of more than 400 organizations and professional groups working to set goals, share best practices, secure funding and inform agencies that implement SRTS. The Partnership's mission is to serve a diverse national community of organizations that advocates for and promotes the practice of safe bicycling and walking to and from schools throughout the United States. The Partnership is hosted by the non-profit 501(c)3 Bikes Belong Foundation. For more information, visit www.saferoutespartnership.org.

Bryan Fischer works the fundamental misrepresentation that keeps anti-gay "culture warring" rooted into the realm of American pastime:
A "truce" would have been homosexual activists coming to the FRC and AFA and saying, hey, we won't push gays in the military, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, anti-bullying legislation, special rights legislation based on gender identity, federal "spousal" benefits for partners of homosexuals, etc. etc. if only you'll stop pushing for legislation that protects the integrity of the American family.
Bryan Fischer: Conservatives: Mitch Daniels truce is a surrender [AFA]
This is like a schoolyard bully setting truce stakes that say he won't take away any more of a certain kid's lunch money, just as long as said kid doesn't seek to reclaim any of the prior stolen funds. Because the reality is that every single "culture war" point Mr. Fischer highlights — marriage limitation, military discrimination, wanton termination of employment, a national school climate plagued by anti-LGBT bullying, etc. — involves self-appointed heterosexists taking away the kind of easily, benignly level playing field that should exist under all American citizen's feet. The LGBT rights fight is not really a push forward that deserves an adversary: It is a quest to reclaim the lost pieces that adversarial forces have swept under the national rug!
The "culture war" is a conservative-declared battle, filled with an uncountable number of lies, an exorbitant amount of squandered capital, and a priceless amount of human pain. There is only one side that needs to declare an armistice here — and it aint the folks who always thought they'd get a chance to live their lives, not pause their existences in order to toss back unprovoked bombs!
**FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH FISCHER: He's the guy who's said that "homosexuals in the military gave us…six million dead Jews," who's said "homosexuals should be disqualified from public office," who has called on Christian conservatives to breed gays and progressives out of existence, has called gay sex a "form of domestic terrorism," who's said only gays were savage enough for Hitler, has compared gays to heroin abusers, has directly compared laws against gay soldiers to those that apply to bank robbers, who once invoked a Biblical story about stabbing "sexually immoral" people with spears, saying we need this kind of action in modern day, who has spoken out against gays serving as public school teachers, has questioned why Medals of Honor are given to people who save lives (rather than take lives), who says that open service will "assign the United States to the scrap heap of history," and who has blamed gay activists for dead gay kids, saying that: "If we want to see fewer students commit suicide, we want fewer homosexual students." His words pretty much single-handedly landed the American Family Association on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate groups list.

"Nobody knows when this statue was made; but it is certainly more than a thousand years old."
...The guide quietly went out behind me and sat on the steps of the verandah, and I was left alone with the Buddha.
The face of the Buddha was quite alive; he was not looking straight at me, and yet he saw me. At first I felt nothing but wonder. I had not expected and could not have expected anything like it. But very soon wonder and all other feelings and thoughts disappeared in new and strange sensations. The Buddha saw me, saw in me that which I could not see myself, all that was hidden in the most secret recesses of my soul. And under his gaze, which, as it were, passed me by, I began to see all this myself.
Everything that was small, superfluous, uneasy and troubled came to the surface and displayed itself under this glance. The face of the Buddha was quite calm, but not expressionless, and full of deep thought and feeling. He was lying here deep in thought, and I had come, opened the doors and stood before him, and now he was involuntarily judging me. But there was no blame or reproach in his glance.
His look was extraordinarily serious, calm and full of understanding. But when I attempted to ask myself what the face of the Buddha expressed, I realised that there could be no answer. His face was neither cold nor indifferent. On the other hand it would be quite wrong to say that it expressed warmth, sympathy or compassion. All this would be too small to ascribe to him. At the same time it would also be wrong to say that the face of the Buddha expressed unearthly grandeur or divine wisdom. No, it was a human face, yet at the same time a face which men do not happen to have. I felt that all the words I could command would be wrong if applied to the expression of this face. I can only say that here was understanding..."

A psychiatrist is a medically-qualified practitioner who will
have spent 5-6 years training to be a doctor. He or she
will then have worked as a doctor in general medicine and surgery
for at least a year. He or she will then have had at least 6 years
of further training in helping people with psychological
What are a psychiatrist's special
skills?All psychiatrists will learn how to:
As well as these 'core' skills, a psychiatrist will specialise
and develop skills in working with the particular problems that
affect different groups of people.
For example:
These days, NHS psychiatrists work across a whole range of
places – from the street (literally) to specialist hospital units.
However, most work in community mental health teams, out-patient
departments and hospital wards. Some do sessions in general
Psychiatrists sometimes see patients on their own in an
out-patient clinic. More often, they work as part of a team with
colleagues from other professions such as nursing, social work,
psychology and occupational therapy.
The team will ask the psychiatrist to see patients, either on
their own or with another member of the team present. The
psychiatrist will also work as a consultant to the team, discussing
people's individual mental health needs and working out how to best
manage them.
The psychiatrist will also review patients with other team
members in their regular team review meetings.
Usually your GP will need to refer you. Quite often, the first
person you will see is a nurse, a social worker or an occupational
therapist from the community mental health team. They will usually
decide with you whether you need to see the psychiatrist. Some
specialist teams accept referrals directly from families, social
workers or voluntary groups.
A psychiatrist will ask you about the problem that has brought
you to see them. They may also ask about anything that has happened
in your life, your thoughts and feelings and your physical health.
This is so that he or she can get a thorough understanding of your

You should be able to get some of this information from other
members of the mental health team.
A psychiatrist is always involved in the decision to admit
someone to hospital against their will, but cannot do it on his/her
own. An approved social worker always has to agree that this needs
to be done and, in nearly all cases, another independent doctor
also need to agree that this needs to be done.
You may want to make an Advance Directive to say what you would
like to happen in the future, should you become unwell. Your
psychiatrist, GP or community nurse should be able to advise you on
this if you are interested in setting one up.
A psychiatrist may need to feel your pulse at your wrist, take
your blood pressure or look into your eyes with an opthalmoscope.
He or she will not usually need to do a physical examination for
which your clothes need to be removed. Any physical problems that
need this should normally be dealt with by your GP. The only
exception to this would be if you were admitted to hospital for a
mental health problem. In this case, the admitting doctor, usually
a junior doctor, should do a complete physical examination.

Like many boys growing up in Syracuse, N.Y., Jeremy Boltus had hopes of playing NCAA Division I lacrosse. After leading NYSPHSAA Section III in goals his senior year, and finishing amongst the top in points at the New York Empire Games, the recruiting calls for Boltus were sure to flood in. But the phone didn't ring. It turned out the administration mistyped Boltus' phone number on the Empire roster, so even if recruiters were trying to call, he never knew about it. Halfway through senior year, when he was "about 85% sure" he was going to attend LeMoyne College -- a Division II school in Syracuse -- Boltus finally got the Division I call he had been waiting for. Army head lacrosse coach Joe Alberici contacted Boltus and offered him the opportunity to attend and play for the United States Military Academy at West Point.
"I had nowhere else to go, and I always had a goal and a dream of playing Division I lacrosse, and I thought I was decent enough and could play at that level," Boltus said. "Army was the only place for me to go and do that, so I decided just to go there and focus on lacrosse for a little bit and kind of put the military stuff on the back burner."
During his freshmen year at West Point, Boltus said he still didn't really understand what it meant to play for Army. It wasn't until the Black Knights beat Navy in 2008 -- the first Army victory in the previous 13 contests -- that Boltus realized what he had become a part of. "People went berserk over it," he said. "You understand as the time progresses that it's not just about the 50 something guys that are on your team that you're playing for. You're actually playing for a whole bigger team, one of the biggest teams the world has to offer in the United States Army." Alberici would continuously remind his players -- especially the young freshmen and sophomores -- that while they do play for the guys in their locker room, they are really playing for the name on the front of their chests. "It was an amazing feeling when you recognized the tradition of the great players that came before you," Boltus said.
The attackman would go on to finish his college career ranked second in school history with 124 assists and 214 points. Boltus was named the 2011 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, as well as a Tewaaraton Award finalist, thanks to a senior campaign that included 24 goals and 45 assists. "Basically, I chose Army to play lacrosse," he said. "But now it's transformed from lacrosse player into sacrificing something that no one ever thought I could do. I'm proving all the people wrong who said I couldn't play at this level. Who said I could never get through West Point. Who said I couldn't serve in the military. I feel like I'm proving them wrong."
Proving people wrong has become the theme for both of Boltus' careers. Because the Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft was held before his spectacular senior year even got underway -- and with concerns about how his post-graduate military service commitment would disrupt his ability to play -- Boltus slipped to the final round on draft day where he was finally selected 43
rd overall (out of 48 total picks) by the Hamilton Nationals. Boltus used the snub as motivation, and went on to win MLL Rookie of the Year Honors, leading all first-year players with 30 points (19 goals, 11 assists).
"Stuff like that motivates me and makes me strive to be the best at whatever I'm going to do, whether it be on the lacrosse field or in the military," Boltus said. Currently stationed at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, he is finishing up basic officer training as a 2
nd Lieutenant in artillery school. During the week his days are filled with 12 hours' worth of workouts, classroom instruction and field training, plus another two to three hours of homework at the end of the night. In order to leave the base on the weekends and suit up for the Charlotte Hounds, Boltus has to keep his grades above 70% and submit certain paperwork for approval. "It's definitely been a grind," he said. "But it's definitely a blessing too just because it's always been my goal, my dream to play lacrosse at the highest level." The attackman currently ranks second in goals and assists (15, 9) and third in points (24) for the Hounds. Boltus said that while he is thrilled things are working out this summer for him to participate in MLL, he realizes there is a bigger picture that lies ahead.
Boltus will finish artillery school in the middle of August and move on to Fort Carson in Colorado. Upon arrival, he says "you show up there and just kind of follow suit with what that unit is doing." The unit could be returning from deployment or preparing to deploy. Either way, Boltus said he is ready and excited to move on with his training. "I'm looking forward to it," he said. "Looking forward to putting into action what I've been learning the past five years, whether it be from West Point or at this officer training school. They prepare you for every situation you could be faced with and you just have to execute it."
After choosing to attend West Point simply for the opportunity to be a top-tier athlete, Boltus now realizes it is the military that comes first in his life -- lacrosse is just an added bonus. "It means a lot to me, what I do now," he said. "As a freshman I could never see it having this kind of meaning or affect, but at the same time it's been a blast. You really do cherish what comes before and what comes after you. You really understand that the Army is more than just a one person thing or an individual effort. It is a team effort. You understand that people have sacrificed their lives for everyone to live with the freedom that each and every one who's not in the military has today."
Boltus called his past five years of service "a great journey," and says it moves him when people, especially those close to him like his brothers, say "thank you" for what he is doing every day. "It has been an honor to say that I'm doing something bigger than myself," Boltus said. "It's an awesome feeling."

The action so far Thursday is confirming a change in the character of the market. I've been writing for a while now that we need to let the price action be our guide. After the weakness Wednesday and the follow-through today, it is clear that the recent uptrend has sputtered out and that the market is in danger of rolling over.
I don't want to be too negative here, as this is the first bout of real selling we have seen so far this year. But it is very important to take some defensive action, just in case this isn't just some healthy consolidation. So far the action today constitutes confirmation that the bears are gaining control. We have seen a few minor bounce attempts, which were turned back, and the market hit a new intraday low around midday. That is an indication that there are "stuckholders" who are looking for exits into strength.
Breadth is running better than 2-to-1 negative again, and what's particularly notable is that the number of stocks at new highs is down to about 73 on the NYSE, while new lows are up to about 66. It has been a while since new lows have numbered anywhere close to the amount of new highs.
I've taken some stops and raised cash. I'm just going to stand aside for now and wait to see if the market finds some support. A weak finish again Thursday will cement the idea of a change in market character, and it will likely trigger some real fear among market players. It is extremely important to not let losses grow too large at this point.

St. Joseph, MO - Adam Yankowsky, Strategic Business Unit Manager at AgriLabs, announced today that the company has signed an exclusive sales and marketing agreement with SmartVet, makers of the VetCap® Delivery System and AIMC (Advanced Insecticide Management) insecticide GelCaps.
This innovative methodology to control flies and lice by a single worker without physically handling cattle was first showcased at the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor 'Investment Forum'.
Grant Weyer, president of SmartVet, said that "We were enthusiastic about demonstrating our product's proof-of-concept before a high caliber audience of industry leaders and strategic decision makers representing international animal health companies. The K.C. Animal Health Corridor accounts for a third of the $19 billion global animal health sales market, and we are proud to be associated with them."
He went on to say that "The Investment Forum was an extraordinarily successful opportunity for us. Steve Schram, CEO of AgriLabs, and I inked the agreement, and I have returned to Kansas City today in preparation of the launch of our remote applied delivery system. As we develop new technologies and add products to our pipeline, we will continue to rely on the Animal Health Corridor, and particularly the Investment Forum, as the primary gateways to industry-leading companies like AgriLabs, for access to the animal health marketplace."
Dr. Joel Ehrenzweig, Technical Services Manager for AgriLabs, added that, "As a veterinarian dealing with the significant challenges cattlemen face in the field and as an industry representative, I cannot emphasize too strongly the significance of the role of the Animal Health Corridor in bringing SmartVet's VetCap technology to AgriLabs. Lost production from horn flies cost cattlemen an estimated $800 million a year. Since the VetCap Delivery System does not require running cattle through a chute, the costs of treating cattle and production loss due to handling stress are significantly reduced."
The AIMC GelCap contains cyfluthrin, a highly effective insecticide for the treatment of horn flies, face flies, and biting and sucking lice. It is the first insecticide designed specifically for long distance delivery to receive regulatory approval in the United States.
This summer the AgriLabs field sales team will be demonstrating the cutting-edge VetCap System to cattlemen at dealer locations throughout the Gulf States. When users have an opportunity to handle and test the tough VetCap applicator ,they will immediately appreciate the years of research and development that have gone into producing a tool that will stand up to rough use in the field and perform for years. And AIMC GelCaps are engineered to survive real-world use and the rigors of field administration, delivering the correct amount of insecticidal protection.
Mr. Yankowsky noted that "With this exclusive collaboration, SmartVet can reach the beef cattle market and dovetail with our business model of partnering with inventive development companies who can benefit from the broad sales and marketing reach of AgriLabs."
The addition of the VetCap System furthers the commitment of AgriLabs to offer relevant and technically-driven products to producers. The company continues to augment its core food animal capabilities of science-backed products from innovative partners, like SmartVet, through the ongoing efforts of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor.

Rocky Ledge Bars
It's been a while since I've done a Week of something, so I thought I'd feature 5 bar/brownie recipes. They've been my favorite dessert recently.
A couple weeks ago was my brother's wife's baby shower. We're all really excited about the first grandchild in our family and I can't wait to meet my nephew in just a couple months. The majority of my family is still in the Midwest, but luckily quite a few of them got to make the trip out East for the shower. One of my sisters, my mom, and 3 of her sisters all came to Boston for a 3 day weekend.
The day before the shower, the plan was to hang out at my brother's house in the evening. I offered to bring over a dessert to snack on. One thing I love about making bars is that they travel so well! You don't have to worry about them toppling over like you do with cupcakes.
We all really enjoyed these bars. They had the perfect amount of candy mixins and surprisingly weren't too sweet. I think all of my aunts and my mom asked for this recipe so they could make them for their families. I did slightly adjust the amount of chocolate in the recipe as shown below.
Two Years Ago: Lemon and Key Lime Curd
Check out my entire week of bars and brownies here.
Rocky Ledge Bars
Yield: ~36
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mini marshmallows, divided
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup white chocolate chips, divided
18 squares individually wrapped caramels, divided and chopped into quarters
1 1/2 cup chocolate covered toffee chips, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover the bottom of the pan and to overhang the longer sides. Place the parchment in the pan, butter the parchment, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl using a wooden spoon, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix just until combined. Fold in half of the marshmallows, chocolates, caramels, and toffee chips.
Using an offset spatula, spread the batter in the prepared pan. Scatter the remaining marshmallows, chocolates, caramels, and toffee chips over the surface of the batter. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out almost clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled. Using the overhanging parchment paper, remove from pan. Place on a baking sheet, and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 30 minutes.
Remove from refrigerator, and peel off the parchment paper. Using a serrated knife, cut into 15 irregular-shaped bars. Stack bars vertically. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

I'd love to have one of those for breakfast right about now 🙂 Can't wait to see what else is in store this week!
These look amazing and delicious! I have never made bars, but I love eating them! I can't wait to see the rest of your recipes, and I'm sure they will inspire me to make some bars of my own 🙂
These look great! They've got a little bit of everything.
Yummm. I'm excited to see what else you post this week – I always make bars instead of individual cookies, so much easier!
Those bars will always have a special place in my heart, because that's what I debuted my blog's new look with! Plus… they are just insanely delicious!
Looks great!
I can't even begin to tell you what I'd give for one of those right now!
Those look delicious and definitely something my hubby would love. I've been in a baking funk lately and will have to try these this week.
On another note…since you've changed your blog around a bit, it's taking a very long time to load. Is it just me that's having this problem?
Thanks for letting me know Kelly. I haven't heard that from anyone else. I use Google Chrome and it doesn't seem to have any issues, but I'll definitely look in to it.
These were great using up all the random baking goods in my kitchen. Wonderful recipe!

THE MOTORWAY was closed for nearly six hours early this morning following a crash involving two cars.
At 2.20am, a black Renault Clio collided with the rear of a silver Land Rover Discovery near junction 17 of the M4. As a result, the Renault Clio struck the hard shoulder protection barrier and caught fire.
The driver of the Land Rover, having hit the central reservation and rebounded on to the hard shoulder, got out and rescued a rear seat passenger in the Renault Clio, who was unconscious, before the car was fully engulfed.
All three occupants of the car were taken by land ambulance to Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
The road was closed at 2.45am until 8am.
Anyone with information should call police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Bandon's 'Washed Ashore' sculpture project goes national
BANDON, Ore. -- It's an environmental education project that makes art out of garbage.
The Washed Ashore project, based out of Bandon, is getting recognized worldwide.
Hundreds of volunteers take thousands of pounds of marine debris to create monumental sculptures.
Angela Haseltine Pozzi is the executive director and lead artist in the project, and she says it is not just about art.
It's also about awareness. "It's a project about raising awareness about plastic pollution," she said. "We're really dependent on volunteers. All of the pieces of the gyre you see behind me was strung by a different person."
Two volunteers made history at the exhibit this weekend in the first ever Washed Ashore wedding.
Volunteers are always welcome, and the next Washed Ashore project will showcase 12 different sculptures at Sea World locations across the country.

That is what appeared on the surface – and I wrote that because I believed it.
I was foolish. I should've looked deeper and never doubted 21 years of proven success by Kelly.
This isn't a column based on the emotion of watching Kelly's team win its 12th game in as many outings this season on Saturday by beating Kiffin and the Trojans 22-13 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
This is a column based on the evidence. Kelly has resurrected the Irish program to heights no one could have fathomed. But even more so, it is how Kelly resurrected this program, which was faltering under Lou Holtz in the later years (blasphemy I know), and continued through the tenures of three others that tried, yet failed to do what Kelly has accomplished.
On Saturday, the Irish offense allowed USC to stay alive into the final minutes of the game, and the Notre Dame defense did the same by allowing a 53-yard Trojan pass to its 2-yard line.
At that point, the disparity between the two coaches was put on display for nearly 11 million viewers to see.
Kiffin's team had a chance at victory and the coach chose to mismanage the clock like it was his first season outside of Pop Warner.
Kelly's team encapsulated what the veteran leader had preached from day one in December 2009, that being toughness.
The Trojans had eight opportunities to score and never did. How was that possible? Because Kelly has constructed a defense to play at this level. Just like has at three other schools.
Lost in the fantasy-like offensive statistics that Kelly's teams racked up at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati is the fact that each of those programs also had defenses that could excel as well.
That is the genius of Kelly – he is good enough to coach successfully in any number of ways.
He initially addressed the physical and mental toughness of the Irish when he was hired. That is not an issue any longer.
He needed to find a quarterback. It appears that he has done so.
He needed to minimize turnovers. Is anyone even talking about that topic anymore?
And that brings us to the defense – and perhaps what the Irish offense can evolve into.
At Grand Valley State, Kelly had one team lead the nation (Division II) in rushing defense (2003), while another (2001) averaged nearly 59 points per game (not a typo).
Give him some personnel and he'll figure out how to utilize it.
At Central Michigan, he curbed the Chippewas run defense numbers from over 245 yards allowed each game to less than 114 in one season (leading the Mid-American Conference).
That is coaching, my friend.
Kelly's 2009 Cincinnati squad also went 12-0 (Kelly has been here, done that), while leading the nation in passing efficiency. But that same team was also among the national leaders in tackles for losses and sacks.
So Kelly has won with a prolific quarterback, and now he's winning with a protected one (first-year starter Everett Golson). Meanwhile Kiffin's team has been marginal (7-5) with a first round NFL Draft pick (Matt Barkley) running his offense.
Three questions about Kelly were tossed around in abundance when Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick hired Kelly.
First, could the guy recruit nationally for the first time in his career?
Secondly, could the guy coach at the highest level of college football? This wasn't the GLIAC after all.
Lastly, could Kelly get this program to succeed on the field given the academic requirements that this university would never relent on and previous coaches had complained about?
Yes, yes, and an emphatic yes.
"When you can talk about the highest graduation rates and being No. 1 in the country," Kelly said following Saturday's victory, "I think that is a great thing for Notre Dame."
It truly is. However, Kelly himself has also proven to be a "great thing for Notre Dame," as well.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is generally diagnosed before the age of 16. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the bodyés own immune system attacks the joints. There are several different types of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, each characterised by the extent of the arthritis and the number and type of joints affected.
Doctors believe that juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. That means that the childés own immune system attacks the joints. Researchers believe that this may be a genetic issue that is aggravated by environmental factors.
Not only is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis painful, it can also lead to joint damage, growth problems, and eye inflammation.
You canét prevent juvenile rheumatoid arthritis but you can help your child manage the symptoms.
Kids with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis may experience pain, swelling and stiffness in affected joints.
Some cases of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis are intermittent é which means they come and go. Other cases are constant. Treatment concentrates on preventing joint damage and managing pain. Medications may include anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids. Your childés doctor might also advise physical therapy. Surgery may be needed if the joints become misaligned.
You should make an appointment with your doctor if you suspect your child has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. He can discuss treatment options and help you set up a treatment plan. Call the doctor immediately if your child has symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis along with a fever.

Feliz shut down after experiencing fatigue
OAKLAND -- The Rangers have shut down pitcher Neftali Feliz from throwing, and the right-hander has returned to Arlington. Feliz, who was pitching for Triple-A Round Rock, is dealing with general fatigue and the Rangers want him to spend time in a rehab program with medical director Jamie Reed.
Feliz had Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery on Aug. 1, 2012, and he has still not returned to the level he was at in 2010-11, when he was the Rangers' closer. Feliz pitched in six games with the Rangers but did not make the team in Spring Training. Instead, the Rangers sent him to Round Rock to build up stamina and work on his mechanics.
"There is no real injury to report, except general fatigue," assistant general manager Thad Levine said. "We're trying to deal with that so it doesn't manifest itself into a real injury. We feel he will be back on the mound soon. We don't see this as a prolonged situation."
Feliz hasn't pitched for Round Rock since April 16. He has appeared in five games, posting a 1.59 ERA. He has allowed two hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings, while striking out six.

Grow Up, Get Down, Get Green
Increasingly Capable Drives and Motor Controls Are Moving into More Diverse, Smaller-Ticket Applications, as Well as Helping Users Gain the Operating Efficiencies to Meet Green Initiatives
By Jim Montague, Executive Editor
Why do overnight successes always take at least 10 years? For instance, it's been just over a decade since Waterford Township Public Works (twp.waterford.mi.us/publicworks) installed variable-frequency drives (VFDs) on the high-service, constant-speed motors at its 11 drinking water plants in Michigan (Figure 1). Terry Biederman, Waterford's public works director, says, "Opto 22's PLCs and RTUs control these VFDs from Danfoss, Square D and Robicon. The VFDs use flow-matching to eliminate transients that were contributing to about 80 water main breaks per year, and reduced the breaks to 15 to 20 per year. This saves hundred of thousands of dollars in repair costs each year." However, there was more good news to come.
In the following 10 years, the township's physical system grew by 25%, and its water treatment and delivery capacity grew from 14 million gallons per day in 1996 to 25 million gallons per day at present. "So, our annual energy costs probably should have doubled, but they only increased from $450,000 in 1996 to $512,000 now," adds Biederman. "A lot of the thanks goes to the VFDs we installed and the RTUs we programmed to run only when necessary. On the wastewater side, we went from 49 sewer pumping stations in 1996 to 62 now, and our demand has increased by 25% from 1996 to 5.5 million gallons per day right now. However, this annual energy bill only increased from $68,000 in 1996 to $71,000 in 2007."
A Softer, Smarter Touch
As with so many other control and automation disciplines, ever faster, cheaper and more powerful computing has enabled VFDs to be applied in more and smaller settings. So where oil and gas, pulp and paper, and a few other big-ticket processes used to be the only applications able to afford widespread use of VFDs and controls, they've more recently been popping up in water/wastewater, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, consumer products and many lower-profile facilities.
"Using drives and motor controls, especially AC VFDs, gives us better control of each drive, so we can handle glass with a softer touch, for example, or do a better job applying labels. VFDs also allow us to better manage our energy consumption with supply, instead of running our pumps at full speed all the time and having to put in recirculation loops," says Scott Richards, project manager and electrical engineer at Polytron, an Atlanta-based process-and-packaging system integrator (SI). "In the mid-1990s, the large suppliers focused on large, stand-alone, 5 hp to 10 hp VFDs with custom HMIs and mass-produced drives. Now we can call our distributor and get 5 hp to 10 hp VFDs that we can plug in and program on-site."
In the past five to seven years, Richards adds, the biggest leaps in drives and motor controls have been networking and intelligence. "So when we put in a linear distribution system, all the separate devices that we used to have are now linked by Ethernet," he says. "And having Ethernet connectivity in 50 networked drives means we can program them in advance, look at current draws in real time and do more preventive maintenance. Added intelligence means VFDs can report when there's a problem, such as when they're likely to fail soon. We also can program VFDs to do periodic diagnostic checks. It's like having a room of college graduates instead of a room of third graders.
"More powerful, less costly computing also makes it more economically feasible to have intelligence at smaller points along a production line or process. For example, a continuous oil-and-gas process can monitor its in-line flow and density, provide the data about what's going through its pipe via DeviceNet and Ethernet, and if its running slow, take back instructions to check the upstream filter. We can even set up a web page, so remote users can do real-time monitoring at one-tenth of the previous cost, and use this shop-to-top connectivity to squeeze 3% to 5% more production out of their process."
A History of Support
Though drives and motor controls don't occupy quite the starring role in process settings as they do in discrete manufacturing, they still support essential functions, such as pumps, fans and other rotating devices that all processes require. Many motors used to run at or close to full power, so flows were controlled by damping or valves. Consequently, just as production lines benefited from increasing motor efficiency and drive/control intelligence, many process applications came to use variable-speed control and PI loops in drives for better continuous control.
"In the past 10 years, drives and motor controls have become more sophisticated and less costly. Low-voltage drives went into all kinds of applications and were connected to integrated architectures, communications systems and added safety and security features," says Sean Gaffney, Rockwell Automation's AC drives marketing manager. "These days motor-control hardware is tied into communication networks, and drives are integrated for better diagnostics and control. Our Premier Integrator software makes it easier to integrate drives with our controller. Lockout programs are available for added security, and many drives now respond to safety inputs.
"In addition, VFDs and controls can save energy because the energy consumed by a motor is proportional to the cube of its speed. So in centrifugal pumps and fans, a small change in speed can give you a big energy savings (see sidebar) because of the drag that occurs as the pump or fan pushes through whatever fluid it's processing. Some U.S. states require VFDs for motors over certain voltages, while some users, especially in water/wastewater applications, requiring harmonic migration, which involves sending less electrical noise to the grid."

text: Well I'm pretty much ready for a new coach. I can't take these stupid defensive schemes we run with over helping, and I can't stand an offense that doesn't utilize the PG for getting assists and running an offense. At this point I will not be surprised if we blow this playoff seed and end up a 1/2 game out a the end.

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey Extends MAN OF LA MANCHA Through 11/25
The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey announced today that its acclaimed, record-breaking production of Man of La Mancha will perform for an additional week-through Sunday, November 25th-at Shakespeare Theatre's Main Stage, the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, 36 Madison Ave. (at Lancaster Road) in Madison. Tickets for all performances are now on sale and can be purchased by calling the box office at 973-408-5600 or by visiting www.ShakespeareNJ.org. Performances are Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. The additional week will include performances on Tuesday evening, Friday evening, Saturday matinee and evening and Sunday matinee and evening. Tickets range from $50 to $80; student rush tickets are available 30 minutes prior to curtain for $10.
"Given the extraordinary response to this show, the unfortunate loss of performances due to the power outage, and the many difficulties our patrons have faced in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, we are thrilled to be able to to extend the run of this show through Thanksgiving week," said Artistic Director Bonnie. J. Monte.
Featuring a well-known score including one of Broadway's most famous songs – To Dream the Impossible Dream –and the winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Man of La Mancha has become one of the most beloved and popular American musicals in the world. Inspired by real events in the life of Miguel de Cervantes, the musical features a book by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh. William Michals makes his Shakespeare Theatre debut as the writer Miguel de Cervantes who invents the iconic character of Don Quixote. Michals appeared as Emile de Becque in the Tony Award-winning South Pacific at Lincoln Center. Michals was asked to open the December 11, 2001 memorial service at Ground Zero with a solo, a cappella rendition of Let There Be Peace on Earth which has been rebroadcast world-wide
Broadway veteran Jane Pfitsch plays Aldonza. Pfitsch appeared earlier this season in the Shakespeare Theatre's production of The Liar. On Broadway, she appeared in the Tony Award-winning Company and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. She also appeared off-Broadway in The 39 Steps.
The cast also includes Blake Pfeil, Patrick Boll, Drew Dix, Derin Altay, Darren Matthias, and Jeremy Lee Parish. Also in the company of more than 20 actors and musicians are Kim Sava, John Seidman and Lee Harrington as well as Sean Buhr, George Abud, Jordan Laroya, John Gardner, and Katy Hinson.

|The approach is nice and slippery. Most of the ice is good, i was doing a climb today though and it was really brittle because of a lot of active melting. I got soaked :) But, like I say, most of it is pretty good. Decently crowded for a thursday, no telling about the weekend.

|Was there on Sunday 12/9/01. The main gully (from WI3- to 4) is fat and healing daily. The two areas to the right were hacked up and not healing as fast. There was much more ice in the main gully than is shown in the above picture.

|Do not expect easy access to Gillette Falls. Cameron Burns' guide directs one straight across the property of a man who is extremely pissed and has a chip on his shoulder about keeping people out. He has the law on his side, if you're on his property (even though it's not posted -know before you go). He also has a gun at his side if you're not (he confronted us on the fishing club property). Apparently we weren't the first climbers he decided to take a beef with; his reaction to our explanation "It's in a guidebook" was to tell Cam Burns that "he's an asshole." So don't go there unless you want to risk a run in with the Sherriff and/or a pyschopathic gun-toting libertarian vigilante.

|Climbed this area last weekend (Sun.)02.17.02 There were about 6 teams of climbers which is pretty light. The ice was pretty dry in most sections, but the main (central flow) was fat and the eastern routes were building. Should be pretty nice in a few weeks. See updated pictures of the area.

|Climbed Lincoln on Monday. Most of the ice on the far left was brittle. The bowling alley looked fat though. The major lines to the right are beat to crap...very picked out and limited ice to even hook into. Monday was cold but the upper sections were still getting good water. The lack of snow in the upper bowl has made for limited water supply.

|Did Lincoln Falls yesterday. The ice was very brittle, and it was hard to get purchase without a fair amount of plating and also in any hacked-out sections, but decent enough to get screws in. Not too crowded for a Saturday. Thank God for the man who invented hand warmers. My McGuckins neoprene gloves got thrashed and froze. Any recommendations on a good pair of ice gloves for cold weather that are not too bulky and reasonably priced. Vaya con Dios!

We did the main flow and the flow to the left. Be [careful] on the road down to the car park as its pretty icy and good sport for a slide down an embankment. Alan Buchan

|Climbed the left gully on Sat 3/30. Ice is mostly fat blue plastic. 22cm screws - no problem the whole way up. In the shade it's a tad brittle, but overall great conditions. Steep flows are pretty much gone. Some good ice at far right too. What snow there is above the ice is pavement.

|Lincoln falls. Looking good overall for this time of year. Healing well. Pillar is in and doable (tough climb) curtain is in and good. Bowling Alley is a bit thin at the head wall but very good for this time of year. The major issue is the PEOPLE!!! At least thirty prosent on the hill by mid day Nov 2... Crazy. Everyone was cool and things went well. So all in all, no big!!

Climbed here on Friday. Bowling Alley in except for snow/rock right before middle belay. Pillar and central cave curtain are in nicely, but ice seemed generally still very warm and water flowing quite fiercely. Snowy, but Avy danger low.
Helen Hunt Falls- Starting to freeze and getting plenty of water, but still too thin for anything. Also, very warm; go around 5am for most stable conditions. Heed my advice until it gets colder: the whole right side had collapsed and is now a pile of ice chunks lying at the bottom!

|Climbed at Lincoln on 11/22. L & R main flows in, but still little or no ice on the flatter section of the left main flow and top pitch options appear a bit thin still. Main Falls in pretty fat but getting chopped out. Pillar on right is VERY chopped out but down (TR only I would guess). There's a cascade in very fat around the rock buttress to the left of the left gully. We didn't go over there but saw it from the top of the main falls. Looks sweet but short (maybe 20-30 ft. high).
By Tradkelly

|Indeed, it's in and pretty good, but needs more time to fill in all of the climbs. The far right, pillar, is broken at the top now and may fall on a lead. The rest of that wall (usually fills in with hanging 4-5 ice) isn't in at all. Right flow is in, sections of WI3 near the top. There are enough good lines for at least 6 parties to have independent lines. Left flow is in at 3 for first pitch, then a long snow gully with some ice below (low angle WI1+), second pitch has a great 3+ line and a couple of 4 options without going into questionable areas with just touching icicles. A little more time, but it's very in and very good. :)

Overall, Lincoln is looking good. The Bowling alley is it's usual fat self, but the upper head wall hasn't fully filled in. There are still several good lines though. The middle curtain looks good and is in, as is the Scottish Gully. The top curtain of the Gully is no longer existant, but the WI 2+/3 bulge is fat. Rock or frozen dirt/rock/snow finish @ trees. The far left is beginning to form with a short curtain up high. The pillar to the right is looking ugly, very thin. It was MUCH better two weeks ago. Too warm? The approach is not a problem if you stick to the center of the boulder field. Otherwise it's a bit of snow wallow thru the field.
Anyone have any info regarding the leader fall on Sunday Nov 24? There were several of us @ the trees when he fell and hit the deck. Poss broken leg. Any info out there on his wellbeing? Email me... firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks
Little snow... lots of fun...

|Main flow is thick and wet. The large curtain to the right of the main flow hasn't seen developement in awhile, its a bit hacked. The slender piller high on the right side is fractured at the top and is currently a time bomb. Hopefully the water will start diverting soon and the surrounding climbs will see some more formation.
By TBD
Jan 6, 2003
Conditions haven't changed much over the last couple of weeks, other than the curtain to the right of the main flow is even more hacked up and is brittle and the pillar up high on the right is even scarier looking.
I added a rap station (slung block and a quick link) on the left side (looking up) of the main flow (about 1/3 the way up) to hopefully relieve some conjestion on the bolts that are on the right side. Ice is starting to form on the slab below the bolts, so hopefully some more climbing will be available.
By TBD
Jan 18, 2003
Little has changed except the scary pillar is no more and the slab to the right of the main flow is continuing to fill in. It makes for a nice, thin, and spicy lead.
I found a v-thread hook at the base. If it's yours please email me.

The three main WI3-4 falls are in but the ice is brittle especially pulling onto bulges above the short vertical WI4 sections. The WI5 pillars (on the right side) are not in and do not look likely to be in this year based on current snow conditions.
By TBD
Feb 10, 2003
Little change, except the slab to the right of the main flow has filled in a bit more. It was freaking cold and bullet proof on Sunday.
BTW, some one removed the rap station I put in on the main flow climbers left about 1/3 the way up, for whatever reason...

|We were climbing up here yesterday Sat. the 15th. Cold ground temp but absolutely fabulous mixed condition day. According to a hitch hiking local snow boarder that we gave a ride to the area has received new snow over the last fews days. This is good for building new ice, but there hasn't been a lot of temperature differential day to night so the new ice isn't bonding to the old as would be hoped for. And in fact that is what we found to be the case on Lincoln. Phat ice just underneath a layer of chandeliered crust. A little gardening usually allowed for some pretty sticker ice. If this new layer doesn't get trashed or hacked out it should lead to great climbing conditions soon. Be aware that the underlying snow pack has sublimed out badly and has NO bonding to new snow or surface rock. The walk off descent felt oddly vibrational so take CARE. It would probably be best to rap off the routes.
By ew
Feb 20, 2003
|Was there on Tuesday, the 18th I guess that makes it, and the ice was in pretty decent shape, albeit under a layer of non-bonded crud. A little gardening yeilded solid placements.The temps were just at/above freezing so the water was running, which is promising given the cold nights we've been having. Took the advice to avoid the walk off and rapped instead.... sank up to my waist in places wallowing to the upper chains. A day out ice climbin' = a damn good day. To the guys from Golden that gave us a lift in the back of the Nissan... a big THANKS.

|Lincoln is looking lean for this time of year. The lower falls are there but not "good" yet. There is rock on the top of the lower falls. The upper falls are still in the sun and still wet and not yet built up enough to be steep. Maybe WI 3 if that... Middle gully is a walk up. Needs some time to develop. Middle curtain, no touchy. Scottish gully, same as upper wall. Far pillar, interesting but still a bit funky. Too many people up there hacking up what there is. All of it is "climbable" but not great. With these warm temps and not much snow, it might be a couple of weeks (at least) before Licoln is up to it's true self. If you choose to climb keep it clean and don't hack it up... Should be a great year. We need some patience. BTW last year this time was 10 times better!!!

|George, it's not even November yet. The sooner you start TR'ing the pillars, the sooner they will fall apart, especially on "warm" days. Do the rest of the climbing community a favor and wait a few more weeks and let everything fill in a bit.

|Hey all, I checked out Lincoln again on Friday Nov. 4 and found conditions quite a bit better than the previous week. Things are really starting to ice up well though maybe are only still 2/3 or so "in" in terms of things getting really good and big. All of the thin top-outs reported earlier are pretty well iced up though thin spots do still exist. The right line of the middle formation was the most solid, again leading to a much more filled in, varietal and completly iced up (even on the top-out) upper head wall of the bowling alley. Plenty of good screw placements can be found. The first pitch of the bowling alley looked much less good, but appeared to be easy enough to offer no trouble except to perhaps the most beginning of leaders. The crux of the earlier mentioned lower middle area is solid WI 3, perhaps 3+ depending on one's exact line. Now, the cool juice is in the pillars!! MAJOR kudos to whomever redirected the water above the large right formation area, as it is actually quite thick and fully touching down. Here's the kicker though-it is hard! Most of the surface ice was very chandeliered and the climbing quite strenuous. I found it to be fairly insecure and the screw placements bad until 3/4 of the way up. After placing this third, and only good, screw-before which I nearly pitched off-I was so pumped that I hung on a tool for the first time in eight years, put in a great stubby and lowered off. My partner and I each took only one run on TR so as to not hack it up, and still found the climbing hard under the conditions, about WI4+. The topout was good though much thinner and would probably accept some good stubbies. The other pillar variations here are looking steep, very wet, and not quite there yet, with the ones in the center of the middle area looking like they will be awesome when they touch down and thicken up a bit. Back to the pull-ups and some more days out there for me-email me if you would like to get out some time-Cheers!

Just to clarify for the AC who was chastising me for climbing on a pillar early in the season. The ice we climbed was plenty fat, and we did not beat it up with our 2 runs each. There was plenty of other thin stuff that we avoided both out of concern for the future welfare of the ice and ourselves.
Trust me when I say that if the ice is thin enough to be in danger of getting beat up by a few runs on top rope I am way to big a wuss to try climbing it.

Nov 15, 2005
Hey all, so looking at the topo, the falls appear to be relatively safe from avalanches, as they look like they would split to either side, but does anyone know if that is true? There is plenty of terrain for it from above, has there ever been one over the falls?
Just curious... thanks!

Had some trouble with the vague directions for this area last weekend. So I'd like to add some more detailed directions:
From Hoosier Pass south of Breckenridge on Highway 9, head south to County Road 4. This is a dirt road on your right, located where Hwy 9 becomes less steep and windy. If you get to Alma, you've gone too far.
Stay on the right or East side of the flat valley floor (no turns) until you see the dam for Montgomery Reservoir ahead. Just before you reach the dam you will take a right at a 'Y' intersection. If you miss it don't worry, the left (or straight) option dead ends very soon. There was a sign about fishing at this intersection when we were there.
The right/higher road at the 'Y' intersection (PY32 according to Google maps) will take you to the north-most corner of the reservoir via it's east side where you will find parking. From the parking area you can see the ice to the west. It is about a 20 to 40 minute hike, depending on snow and fitness. Remember you're at 11,000 feet!

Instead of taking a holiday on MLK Day 2011, more than 75 Petrels devoted their Martin Luther King Day to their community.
Through Oglethorpe University's Center for Civic Engagement, Oglethorpe students were able to lend a helping hand at three different Atlanta nonprofits—Open Hand, the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta, and St. Vincent de Paul Chamblee Thrift Store.
Students gathered for a brief program to honor Dr. King and discuss the relevance and importance of serving the community in his name. They viewed an inspiring video produced by members of the Black Student Caucus, that featured OU students discussing what Dr. King's work means to them.
"The MLK Day of Service is a powerful opportunity for students to connect with an important part of Atlanta's history," said Kimber Tate, Civic Engagement program coordinator. "[It gives them the opportunity to] engage in the wider Atlanta community by serving a variety of area nonprofit organizations."
Did you know? Oglethorpe hosted Georgia's first integrated basketball game. Legendary basketball coach Dr. Garland Pinholster coached the Stormy Petrels in the 64-47 win against the University of Rhode Island. Coach Pinholster was known around the country for his innovative basketball techniques and his stance for integrated sports.
