History of Cincinnati
|It has been suggested that Race relations of Cincinnati be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2012.
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (May 2011)
Cincinnati was founded in late December 1788 by Mathias Denman, Colonel Robert Patterson and Israel Ludlow. The original surveyor, John Filson (also the author of The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon (siq) Daniel Boone), named it "Losantiville"[1] from four terms, each of different language, before his death in October 1788 (He was replaced by Israel Ludlow).[1] It means "The city opposite the mouth of the (Licking) River", "ville" is French for "city", "anti" is Greek for "opposite", "os" is Latin for "mouth", and "L" was all that was included of "Licking River".
Early history[edit]
Cincinnati began as three settlements between the Little Miami and Great Miami rivers on the north shore of the Ohio River. Columbia was on the Little Miami, North Bend on the Great Miami. Losantiville, the central settlement, was opposite the mouth of the Licking River.
In 1789 Fort Washington was built to protect the settlements in the Northwest Territory. The post was constructed under the direction of General Josiah Harmar and was named in honor of President George Washington. [2]
In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed the name of the settlement to "Cincinnati" in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was president. The society gets its name from Cincinnatus, the Roman general and dictator, who saved the city of Rome from destruction and then quietly retired to his farm. The society honored the ideal of return to civilian life by military officers following the Revolution rather than imposing military rule. To this day, Cincinnati in particular, and Ohio in general, is home to a disproportionately large number of descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers who were granted lands in the state. Cincinnati's connection with Rome still exists today through its nickname of "The City of Seven Hills" [3] (a phrase commonly associated with Rome) and the town twinning program of Sister Cities International.
Civil War[edit]
During the Civil War, a series of six artillery batteries were built along the Ohio River to protect the city. Only one, Battery Hooper, now the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum in Fort Wright, Kentucky is open to the public.
'Porkopolis' and other nicknames[edit]
In 1802, Cincinnati was chartered as a village, and in 1819, it was incorporated as a city. The introduction of steam navigation on the Ohio River in 1811 and the completion of the Miami and Erie Canal helped the city grow to 115,000 citizens by 1850. The nickname Porkopolis was coined around 1835, when Cincinnati was the country's chief hog packing center, and herds of pigs traveled the streets. Called the "Queen of the West" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (although this nickname was first used by a local newspaper in 1819), Cincinnati was an important stop on the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves escape from the South.
Cincinnati also is known as the "City of Seven Hills". The seven hills are fully described in the June, 1853 edition of the West American Review, "Article III--Cincinnati: Its Relations to the West and South". The hills form a crescent from the east bank of the Ohio River to the west bank: Mount Adams, Walnut Hills, Mount Auburn, Vine Street Hill, College Hill, Fairmount, and Mount Harrison.
Cincinnati was the site of many historical beginnings. In 1850 it was the first city in the United States to establish a Jewish Hospital. It is where America's first municipal fire department, the Cincinnati Fire Department, was established in 1853. Established in 1867, the Cincinnati Red Stockings (a.k.a. the Cincinnati Reds) became the world's first professional (all paid, no amateurs) baseball team in 1869. In 1935, major league baseball's first night game was played at Crosley Field. Cincinnati was the first municipality to build and own a major railroad in 1880. In 1902, the world's first re-inforced concrete skyscraper was built, the Ingalls Building.
In 1888, Cincinnati German Protestants community started a "sick house" ("Krankenhaus") staffed by deaconesses. It evolved into the city's first general hospital, and included nurses' training school. It was renamed Deaconess Hospital in 1917.[2]
"The Sons of Daniel Boone", a forerunner to the Boy Scouts of America, began in Cincinnati in 1905. Because of the city's rich German heritage, the pre-prohibition era allowed Cincinnati to become a national forerunner in the brewing industry. During experimentation for six years (until 1939), Cincinnati's AM radio station, WLW was the first to broadcast at 500,000 watts. In 1943, King Records (and its subsidiary, Queen Records) was founded, and went on to record early music by artists who became highly successful and influential in Country, R&B, and Rock. WCET-TV was the first licensed public television station, established in 1954. [4] Cincinnati is home to radio's WEBN 102.7 FM, the longest-running album-oriented rock station in the United States, first airing in 1967. In 1976, the Cincinnati Stock Exchange became the nation's first all-electronic trading market.

- 1869 - First weather bureau.
- 1869 - First professional baseball team - the Cincinnati Red Stockings.
- 1870 - First municipal university - the University of Cincinnati
- 1870 - First city to hold annual industrial expositions [10]
- 1875 - First city where a Jewish theological college, Hebrew Union College, was established.[11]
- 1880 - First city in which a woman, Maria Longworth Nichols Storer, began and operated a large manufacturing operation, Rookwood Pottery.[12]
- 1880 - First and only city to build and own a major railroad.[13]
- 1902 - First reinforced concrete skyscraper - the Ingalls Building.[14]
- 1905 - Daniel Carter Beard founded the Sons of Daniel Boone, later known as the Boy Scouts of America.[15]
- 1906 - First university to offer cooperative education, University of Cincinnati.[16]
- 1935 - First Major League Baseball night game.[17]
- 1952 - First heart-lung machine- makes open heart surgery possible. Developed at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.[18]

TXpaint 250, Pioneering Robotic Painting Solutions
Stäubli Robotics Posted 10/24/2013
Stäubli robotics announces the introduction of a new innovative painting robot characterized by unrivalled process control with minimal paint consumption and fast color changes. The fast, slender TXpaint 250 robot also features a reach of 2.5 meters and is capable of high precision trajectories.
"The TXpaint 250 is the ideal multi-purpose painting robot which is able to handle a wide range of applications in the automotive industry as well as in general industry. Thanks to the
PaintiXen software package the robot is very simple to program allowing professionals as well as newcomers to appreciate the simplified programming of the robot. Furthermore, the TXpaint
250 enables users to paint faster and more efficiently even with small part batches",says Manfred Hübschmann, General Manager of Stäubli Robotics Bayreuth, Germany. Due to its high performance, the TXpaint 250 will be the first choice for a variety of applications – from painting of automotive bumpers, electronic equipment, metal parts, plastics and wood products just to name a few. The performance of this brand-new six axis robot is very impressive with a 2550mm reach and an incredible speed of 1.5 meters/sec. The robots maximum payload capacity is 10kg.
The CS8C controller is also factory network compatible allowing the robot to be extremely dynamic and flexible while utilizing very low energy consumption. The new painting robot is also equipped with a hollow wrist which ensures the internal protection of the paint equipment within the forearm. This feature protects and eliminates the possibility of the product from being contaminated unlike other painting systems which mount all cabling and equipment on the exterior of the arm. The TXpaint 250 also allows for fast color and catalyst changes and can be either floor or ceiling mounted for greater work cell flexibility.
Groundbreaking programming options
This six axis painting robot is perfectly suited for all coating applications such as wet painting, electrostatic or powder coating. Thanks to the PaintiXen software, the robot can be easily programmed directly through the interface on the manual control teach pendant. The PaintiXen simple configuration allows for easy access to the fluid delivery equipment, path and trajectory creation, as well as simple cleaning. Advanced users will also be thrilled by the performance of this software package as it integrates perfectly within the Stäubli Robotics Suite (SRS) software workshop and enables the users to make incremental changes as required. The Stäubli-developers have successfully created a practical tool for each painting situation to help guide the robot programmer by simplifying program creation and process adjustments.

How many different medicines do you take? Most people with heart failure or other cardiovascular illnesses take several. It's no wonder you may become puzzled over which medicines to take and when, how much to take, or what symptoms the drugs treat.
To prevent missed or double doses, side effects, and drug interactions, keep your medications organized. Try following these tips to avoid problems:
Keep an up-to-date list of every medication you take. You can make your own, get a form from your health care provider or pharmacist, download one from the Internet ("My Medication List"), or keep a list on a free website that you can access from any computer anytime. Make a note of the basics about each of your medicines.
Here's what to record:
Medicine name (generic and brand name)
What you use it for (such as "heart failure" or "cholesterol")
When to take it (morning, bedtime, or at dinner)
How much to take (number of tablets or milligrams)
How to take it (by mouth, injection, inhaled, and with or without food)
Which side effects to report to your health care provider
How long to take it
Make sure you note whether to avoid mixing the medicine with any others or with any foods or drinks.
Tell your health care providers which medicines you take. This includes all prescriptions and any over-the-counter drugs, nutritional supplements, herbs, and other remedies. Keep an up-to-date list of everything you take. Bring it whenever you see your health care provider. If you do not have a list handy, bring all your pill bottles to your appointment in a large bag. (Your health care provider will not be bothered by this; she or he would much rather go through the bottles than not know exactly what you are taking.) Ask whether any of the items can cause problems when combined. If your health care provider makes changes in your medications, update your list immediately whether you are at the provider's office or in the hospital.
These boxes have 7 compartments, one for each day of the week. Some have additional slots for different times of day, such as morning, midday, and bedtime. If you fill your pillbox at the beginning of the week, then all week long it's easy to tell whether you've taken a dose instead of trying to remember. You also can plan to take your medicine with another routine activity, such as brushing your teeth or having breakfast, so you get used to taking it regularly.
Ask your health care provider what side effects may occur with each of your medicines and learn what you can do to avoid them. Learn which side effects you should report to your health care provider so he or she may be able to adjust your dose or schedule, or substitute another drug if side effects bother you.

IBM shakes up the server game with lean, cool iDataPlex
It is with some measure of awe that we introduce you to IBM's iDataPlex server. The system itself is quite remarkable. IBM has reworked its approach to rack servers allowing it to place twice as many systems in a single cabinet. This attack centers on delivering the most horsepower possible in a given area while also reducing …
Crushed by Bubble 1.0
I would argue that RLX was affected more by the demise of the DotComs in 2001 than by bigger competitors coming in and stealing their customers with better, faster, cheaper products. The initial products from the tier one server makers sucked quite frankly and it took them several more iterations before they got it right. And, in that time the market had a chance to recover, which is when the blade revolution began in earnest (around 2006). But, by then all the products were aimed at the Enterprise market, leaving a vacuum at the low end of the market. Therefore the Web 2.0 properties have, for the most part, reverted back to buying the same white box servers that were the bain of the data center back in 1999.
As Ashlee knows, I have been saying for years that someone could/should build a modern day version of the original RLX System 324 product – using current technologies and new design – and be very successful. That time has finally arrived, I guess.
Ashlee - do your homework please
Yes, this is beyond the RLX / Verari, but there's nothing new here. IBM is second to market. My guess is that IBM has hired some south-east Asian ODM companies to build them a custom rack of servers, put the IBM badge on it and sell it.
Take a look at what Dell has been doing FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS with Data Center Solutions. You want high density servers for a web farm? You've got it. You want a HPCC? No problem. You want mega high capacity, low cost storage? Coming right up.
RE: Chris Hipp
I agree that Rackable got caught out by the downturn post-Y2K and the big vendors were more jackals feeding at the carcass than victorious predators, but I think the enterprise-class blades have started to look down-market too - with virtualisation, you can squeeze plenty of small servers onto one blade, which means many more server images in the one rack, and you don' have to buy all the RAID options, dual-disks, etc, if you don't need them. The big vendors tried low-cost and low-power blades like the HP BL10e and Dell 1655, they just didn't make enough money from them. Maybe IBM has got it right and now is a good time for a low-cost, small-rack system, but whilst iDataPlex does look like very intersting engineering, I'd still like to compare costs/prices for a pair of iDataPlex racks against blades with VMware.
Re: Ashlee - do your homework please
Do my homework? How dare you!
I drank my way out of college specifically to avoid that.
But even with my booze addled brain, I can see that this is not IBM ordering some SKU from Taiwan's finest. Living, breathing engineers were involved here. I've talked to them.
If you look at the case, you can see that they save on fans and power units at the very least. It's also half the size of anything Dell can offer, which, as mentioned, affords some unique data center rearrangement.
Dell's Cloud program does have the variety of motherboards and liquid cooling available, but I think you're kidding yourself if you think that equals this box.
Back to the Jack. Burp.
CTO Modular Systems Development
No we did not pay any ODM to design iDataPlex. I led the design team and we did this from the ground up. We have filed over 40 patents on iDataPlex...
Gregg McKnight
40 patents?
Has it come down to measure the novelty of an idea or solution by the number of patents filed? This is pitiful...
@40 Patents?
That's a bit of a harsh comment! I applaud the bloke myself, for having some pride in his work.
Too many companies these days shift dubious, recycled, ten-a-penny* <Insert 'developing' nationality here> products; then we slam someone (admittedly from IBM) for the closest thing to craftsmanship I've seen on the market for some time.
Good job, Gregg! Go lick a HTC smartphone, Matt and 'trottel...
*five-a-cent, for our American friends.
RE: El G
Erm... I said it was interesting engineering, congrats to Mr McKnight on what must have been a challenging design brief, but what I said was I wasn't sure of the business model when compared to standard blades with virtualisation. And as to "Go lick a HTC smartphone", I've used those and prefer a Blackberry, thanks!
Besides, shouldn't we have the Sunshine crowd jumping up and down telling us T1/T2 are the green kings of webserving, not mini racks (actually, Sun do have a good point on the webserving bit)? ;)
And only forty patents? What, were the IBM patent trolls on holiday? Most new IBM kit seems to come out with at least 300 patents pending, etc! :)
RE: RE: El G
Sorry, may have been a little rash there. Just that there were a number of quite harsh comments being bandied around, and it was nice to see an engineer showing pride in their handy work.
@Matt - Sorry, kinda skimmed the comments and mixed you up with the AC above. Still an inexcusable snipe by moi, though :(
I have to agree that this looks like some interesting craftsmanship and some elegant engineering.
However, history is riddled with elegant engineering (Concorde).
I expect that IBM will sell quite a few of these. After all, loyal customers will buy their vendors' products, even if not optimal. Never discount the effectiveness of persuasion of their sales force too. And then there's always the outsourced, government and hosted business. I expect that IBM will find a way to plop a few in there.
HPCC doesn't count - most of those are good publicity but don't make any money for anyone.
But will it be more efficient than alternative designs? Will it offer a class leading measurement around power and cooling, versus bring a Supermicro double server rack full and popping it inside a self-enclosed Liebert rack?
If it's more expensive over 3,4,5 years for acquisition + operating costs versus a competitor's rack-dense or blades, why would anyone want it?

Welcome to the party, Yamaha. Today, the company announced its first universal Blu-ray player, the BD-A1000.
What makes this player "universal?" Typically, this means that the unit will have some love for both SACD and DVD-A. The announcement sort of left that part out, but the Australian Yamaha site is confirming support for both formats.
Aside from that, the BD-A1000 can do Blu-ray 3D and 2D playback, as well as stream up additional content from Netflix, Blockbuster and YouTube. If we're not mistaken, this is actually Yamaha's first player to handle 3D playback—at least the first one available.
Other features include dual USB ports (front and back), as well as RC-232C integration control, an on-screen display GUI, and detachable power cable. It also offers HD Audio decoding, 1080p/24Hz-compatible HDMI and 7.1 multi-channel analog output with four 2-channel DACs.
One other nifty feature is the remote, which can put a variety of products under one controller. For instance, push the Scene BD/DVD button, and you can fire up the receiver and the BD-A1000 simultaneously. Speaking of control, this one has the thumbs up from Control4, which means it's easy to integrate.
"Home theater enthusiasts are demanding versatile content compatibility, and Yamaha offers the most versatile entertainment options," said Tom Sumner, Yamaha's president. "The new Yamaha Aventage BD-A1000 highly enhances the visual and audio experience and is the ideal match for Yamaha's Aventage series of AV receivers."
Expect the Yamaha BD-A1000 to sell for around $699.95 (MSRP).

Pretty much the first thing that happened a couple of days after my family moved back into Canberra from rural NSW in 2000 was that some arsehat filled my wheelie bin with lighter fluid and set it on fire.
I was astounded, in the murderous rage sense of the word. Me, my pregnant wife and two small children were asleep in the house at the time. Had the burning embers got under the eaves of the house, we could've all burned that night.
I would, without any qualms, give the fools who do this a good whipping. They're willing to endanger the lives of people who've done them no harm for a bit of entertainment.

Major jealousy alert: Check out Paris Hilton's shoe wardrobe
Prepare to feel absolutely ill in just a minute. Because if you react in a similar fashion to how I just did while watching the above video, then you are bound to feel just a wee bit sickly at the sight of Paris Hilton's extensive shoe room (no silly little "wardrobes" around here guys!)
From the gorgeous YSL cage shoes to the Louboutin sparklers, we are raging with jealousy and wishing we had *that* shoe room to go home to every day (although we might lay off the hot pink shoes if it was ours). While the plugging of her numerous product lines is a bit icky, it's not going to stop us from recommending this vid to anyone who is even the slightest bit curious about what the wardrobe of Ms Hilton looks like.

Within the resort, you'll find a healthy selection of cafés, bars and restaurants and a handful of shops for hunting down souvenirs. Great for families and couples who want to relax in a pretty location. Great bases for exploring are tranquil and unhurried Salicos, whilst Sesmarias, another tranquil location, is a friendly, pretty picturesque fishing village.

In pursuit of a waterproof HD minicamcorder? Sanyo's VPC-CA102YL might fulfill your needs, though you wouldn't know that from its name.
Sanyo's latest Xacti Dual Camera offers "full HD" video and a 5x zoom lens in a traditional camcorder body, albeit a very small one.
Fairly affordable and offering a decent balance of abilities, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-SH1 is a good camcorder that takes notable still photos. Superior video quality is available elsewhere, however, for around the same price.
Typical price: £275.00
It might be a little pricier than the average pocket camera, but stump up the extra cash and Sanyo's gun-shaped Xacti VPC-CA100 will let you shoot video and photos of a much higher quality than its fellow pocket-friendly devices. It also provides a wider range of features, including immunity to water.
Typical price: £300.00
Sanyo has announced that the Xacti VPC-CS1 will land on British shores this very week. Specs and pricing are just one click away
The 'dual camera' Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG100 has its fair share of flaws, but it's not a bad compromise for people who don't want to carry two separate devices around. Don't expect to get broadcast-quality video though
Typical price: £230.00
Sanyo's dual-camera Xacti VPC-CG10 has the design and features to easily shoot both HD-quality movies and 10-megapixel photos, but slow performance and mediocre photos keep it from being a solid do-it-all device.
Sanyo announces new lineup of Xacti cameras designed to enhance active lifestyles by providing both high-definition video and photo capability in an easy-to-use compact camera.
Sanyo steered clear of the madness that was CES 2009 and instead opted to announce its spring 2009 lineup of Xacti camcorders this week.
When the year 2000 rolled around, legendary sci-fi comic 2000AD didn't change a thing: to us, that number will always mean the future. Good news for the Sanyo's top of the range Xacti

Once a medicine or drug has been ingested, it can enter a nursing mother's milk through two processes. Most commonly, a drug is broken down in the body and then absorbed into the bloodstream. The active ingredients in the medication can be absorbed into the milk supply through an act of diffusion. Some drugs contain elements that are fat-soluble, and the high fat content of human milk results in drug absorption. Once the milk has been ingested by the infant, the active ingredients in the drug can cause side effects or an allergic reaction in the baby.
Breastfeeding & Nasal Decongestants
Research has shown that medication taken by nursing mothers can affect the health of an infant who has ingested her breast milk. However, not all medications are harmful to a nursing infant. Over-the-counter medications for treating colds, sinus infections or allergies interact differently with the mother's body, resulting in varying levels of risk for a nursing infant.
In 1983, researchers at the American Academy of Pediatrics launched extensive studies evaluating the risk of medication transference during breastfeeding. Their test of more than 300 medications and chemicals concluded that decongestants could result in "irritability...disrupted sleeping patterns... [and affected] thyroid activity" in an infant. These findings led many mothers to cease breastfeeding while using decongestants and other drugs.
Since the time of the American Academy of Pediatrics' landmark study, newer research has shown that the new active ingredients in decongestants are not as dangerous to the health of the infant. Pseudophedrine and phenylephrine are the most common active ingredients in today's decongestants. Research by breastfeeding researcher Thomas Hale has shown that moderate use of decongestants is generally safe, although pseudophedrine can lower milk supply in some mothers.
Decongestant nasal sprays usually are considered safe for general use for nursing mothers. Oral decongestants that use phenylephrine are also considered safe for use. Avoid multisymptom medication that treats more than just congestion, because these medications include more than one active ingredient. Nursing mothers who are on a medication that they do not want transferred to their infant can supplement with formula while pumping and then discarding breast milk for the duration of treatment.
Even approved medications can cause a reaction in an infant. Monitor the infant to note any drowsiness, crankines, or change in appetite. Infants also can have allergic reactions to medications transferred through breast milk.

Jets Player to Be Unveiled as one of NFL's Top 10Posted by on June 27, 2012 – 5:50 pm
NFL Network's major offseason production, "The Top 100: Players of 2012," is coming to a close tonight, and for those of the Green & White persuasion, we're told a Jets player will be named in one of the network's final two one-hour shows.
We weren't told that player's identity, but you would have had to spend the past four years on an island to not have a good guess who the Jets' representative will be either on tonight's unveiling of players 10 through 6 airing at 8 p.m. ET or of players 5 through 1 set to hit the air at 9 p.m. ET.
Then following those final two shows, NFL Network will air a "Reactions Presented by Buffalo Wild Wings" show at 10 p.m., in which host Lindsay Rhodes, NFL players and network analysts will discuss the latest group of players to be unveiled. And fans have the opportunity to join in the debate and voice their own opinions and reactions on Facebook and Twitter and to vote on their own Top 100 on NFL.com/top100.

If you have a question or comment on the Jets' camp, please write us now on Facebook.com/Jets, on twitter @nyjets or right here with a comment to the Radar on newyorkjets.com.

Pettine Will 'Deconstruct the D' Live on TuesdayPosted by on May 24, 2012 – 4:32 pm
In three seasons as Jets defensive coordinator, Mike Pettine's unit has finished first, third and fifth in total yardage allowed. He is already at work on his 2012 defense with OTAs under way and he'll stop by our Jets studios at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, to give us a progress report.
"Deconstructing the Defense" will be simultaneously broadcast live on newyorkjets.com and on Facebook. Eric Allen will host the program and fans can send in their questions for Coach Pettine via twitter.com/nyjets, Facebook.com/Jets and here on the Radar. The show's archive will also be made available shortly after the live broadcast.
The Green & White have made a number of alterations to their defense, drafting the likes of DE Quinton Coples, LB Demario Davis and safeties Josh Bush and Antonio Allen in April. Perhaps the biggest changes have taken place at safety where veterans LaRon Landry and Yeremiah Bell were added in free agency and both are expected to make immediate contributions. Nose tackle Sione Pouha also inked an extension and veteran OLB Bryan Thomas — the longest-tenured Jet — continues to work his way back from last year's Achilles injury.
Eager to rebound from a .500 record, head coach Rex Ryan has indicated he'll take a more hands-on approach on defense.
We'll have Pettine in-studio to discuss all things "D" on Tuesday. We encourage Jets Nation to submit your questions now to twitter.com/nyjets, Facebook.com/Jets and here on the site.

Sparano Announced as New Offensive CoordinatorPosted by on January 11, 2012 – 12:02 pm
Updated, 12:15 p.m. ET
The Jets have just announced that Tony Sparano has been named their offensive coordinator. Sparano replaces Brian Schottenheimer, who announced Tuesday that he would not return as the Jets' offensive coordinator for the 2012 season.
Sparano became the eighth head coach in Miami Dolphins history on Jan. 16, 2008. In his first season he led the Dolphins to an equaling of the greatest turnaround in NFL history as Miami "moved the hyphen" from 1-15 to 11-5 and captured the team's first AFC East title since 2000. Sparano had spent the previous five seasons (2003-07) on the Dallas staff, during which time the Cowboys made three playoff appearances. He tutored the Cowboys' offensive line the last three years there and also held the title of assistant head coach the final two seasons. He coached the team's tight ends his first two seasons in Dallas.
Prior to joining the Cowboys, Sparano had NFL stops in Cleveland (1999-2000), Washington (2001) and Jacksonville (2002). His career head-coaching record, after leaving the Dolphins after 13 games this season, is 29-33.
Sparano, 50, born in West Haven, Conn., was a four-year letterman as a center at the University of New Haven, where he earned his degree in criminal law. He began his coaching career at his alma mater in 1984 before moving on to Boston University as offensive coordinator in 1989. He returned to New Haven as the school's head coach in 1994 and manned that spot for the next five years.

Sanchez in Running for This Week's NFL 'Moment'Posted by on November 29, 2011 – 11:53 am
Mark Sanchez is up for one of the NFL's weekly awards this week, along with one of the quarterbacks he and the Jets lost to this season ad one of the QBs he and the Jets defeated.
Sanchez orchestrated the 12-play, 82-yard drive that concluded with the QB's rollout TD strike to WR Santonio Holmes in the end zone with 1:01 to play, giving the Jets the 28-24 lead they didn't lose in their home victory over the Bills.
On the march, Sanchez completed six of eight passes for 61 yards, with four of the completions going for first downs and two — 12 yards to Patrick Turner to the Bills 35, then 18 yards to Plaxico Burress with his leaping one-hand grab to the Bills 18 — converting third downs.
The award is the Never Say Never Moment of the Week and fans can click here to vote for their favorite "moment" from now through Friday at noon ET.
Sanchez's competitors for this award are Tim Tebow, who rallied the Broncos past the Chargers in overtime on Sunday, and Tony Romo, who guided the Cowboys to Dan Bailey's game-winning field goal over the Dolphins as time expired on Thanksgiving Day.

Pace, Keller, Revis Chat It Up with Fans TodayPosted by on November 4, 2011 – 4:46 pm
We want to thank everyone in Jets Nation who participated in two different conversations with three big-name Jets this afternoon, two days before the Jets take the Ralph Wilson Stadium field to do battle with their AFC East-rival Bills.
LB Calvin Pace took part in our live chat with the fans immediately following Friday's practice at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. The Q&A was broadcast simultaneously on newyorkjets.com and Facebook and has been archived for you to click here and view for yourself.
And here's a shoutout to the 5,500 who were on the line for our exclusive call to MetLife Stadium season ticket holders featuring TE Dustin Keller and CB Darrelle Revis.

Jets Fans: Pro Bowl Balloting Has BegunPosted by on October 26, 2011 – 9:35 am
Who will be the Jets' newest Pro Bowl participant in January? Linebacker David Harris? Tight end Dustin Keller? Kickoff returner Joe McKnight?
All three?
It would be neat to turn some of the Green & White's top stars into NFL All-Stars this season, to have them add their names to the list of Pro Bowl players that includes current Jets Darrelle Revis, D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Nick Mangold. And Jets fans can help bring this about by casting their ballots for their favorite Jets on newyorkjets.com/probowl
It's that time of year for the NFL and all its teams to get out the vote for the 2011 season's Pro Bowl, which will be held at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Sunday, Jan. 29. Fans, players and coaches each supply a third of the vote that establishes the players who make the initial AFC and NFC rosters.
And the Jets have become one of the league's top teams at landing players on the AFC roster and sending them to the annual Pro Bowl. From 2008-10 they've filled 15 berths on the conference Pro Bowl team.
Three current Jets have sampled the poi and sipped the mango-ritas in Honolulu (and in South Florida in early 2010), and all are off to great starts in '11.
After seven games, Revis (three-time Pro Bowler) has a team-high four interceptions, one returned for a 100-yard touchdown — the longest home INT-return TD in franchise history — against Miami, and blankets opponents' No. 1 wideouts on "Revis Island." Center Nick Mangold (also a three-time Pro Bowler) continues to prevail in the pivot, calling the Jets' O-line signals and handling the big dogs in the middle of opposing defensive fronts to keep the offense moving. D'Brickashaw Ferguson (two Pro Bowls) has become one of the top left tackles in the game, protecting his quarterback's blind side from the best pass-rushers in the game.
Will they qualify to return to Hawaii at the end of this season? And who among the Jets will join them?
"Hitman" Harris rules the roost in the middle of the Green & White defense, posting great tackle numbers and supplying timely blitz pressure on enemy QBs.
Keller, who last year became the first TE to lead the Jets in receptions since Mickey Shuler in 1985, is at it again, topping this year's offense with 25 catches and 372 receiving yards as one of Mark Sanchez's favorite targets.
McKnight erupted on the scene with the longest play in franchise history, his 108-yard kickoff-return touchdown at Baltimore, and leads all NFL kickoff returners with a mind-numbing 40.0-yard average on each runback.
And in the coming weeks, other Jets are sure to catch the eye of fans and voters in the New York area and across the nation. CB Antonio Cromartie supplies the athletic coverage against other teams' wideouts on the side of the field opposite Revis. Head coach Rex Ryan has said LB Calvin Pace is having his best season since Ryan arrived as the Jets' football boss in 2009.
On offense, Sanchez continues with his growth curve, posting the best regular-season completion percentage and passer rating of his three-year career. WRs Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress have the skills to erupt at any time for weeks at a time. Shonn Greene ran with his most authority yet in the comeback win over the Chargers. And Ryan has always felt that the indestructible Brandon Moore "is the best right guard in the game."
Not to forget the specialists, Nick Folk has yet to miss a field goal or placekick, and he and his coverage team have combined to lead the league with 14 inside-the-20 kickoffs. And Eric Smith not only is a regular starting safety for the first time in his career and the Jets' leading tackler on defense, but he is still a monster in all phases of the Jets' special teams.
Fans can vote for any of the above Jets, all of them, or any Jets not mentioned on the NFL's official Pro Bowl fan ballot on their PCs or via their iPads or mobile devices. Once on the ballot, fans can elect to fill out the entire ballot or just vote for one or a few of the players of their choice.
Voting will conclude on Monday, Dec. 19, following the conclusion of the Monday Night Football game between the Steelers and 49ers. The Pro Bowl teams will be announced Tuesday, Dec. 27, at 7 p.m. ET on the special "NFL Total Access 2012 Pro Bowl Selection Show" on NFL Network.

Statement from New York JetsPosted by on October 9, 2011 – 2:38 pm
The New York Jets deny a report this morning that wide receivers Plaxico Burress, Santonio Holmes and Derrick Mason have gone to Head Coach Rex Ryan individually in the past few weeks to question offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's system.

Well, Muffy has 2 soccer games and Timmy has a birthday party", he states,"besides, people are looking at the inside- not the outside.""Right??" You keep your cool as you resist the urge to yell at him, but instead you say, "The look at and buy BOTH the inside and outside!!"

Players talk about why they play foosball
WTOP's Brennan Haselton reports.
WASHINGTON - Around the world, it's hard to overstate the enthusiasm for soccer. Millions of fans bleed their team's colors. So, perhaps it's not surprising that an arcade version of the game remains popular, including here.
This weekend in Jessup, Md., about 150 players gathered around 20 tables for the Maryland State Foosball Championships.
The objective is simple: Kick a hard, golf-size ball through the opponent's goal by spinning little plastic athletes attached to rotisserie-like rods.
"Somebody says it's a cross between shish kebabs and soccer," said Jim Waterman with Maryland Foosball Promotions.
But it's a little more stressful than eating meat on a stick.
"The intensity is like nothing else," Waterman said. "You're head to head with a real opponent. You're just trying to pass the ball forward to one rod and somebody's in your face blocking it."
Players moved about two crowded rooms at a Holiday Inn.
"It can get very intense," Waterman said. "It's very addictive to competitive players."
The rising popularity of video games years ago put a crimp on the demand for foosball.
"Nowadays, you got the kids stuck at home behind the TV screen playing their video games," Waterman said.
"Bring them back out to the foosball world. Develop some social skills again, learn how to partner up with a team that's on the same table, learn some communications skills."
Despite the waning interest in foosball, there is one thing that cannot be denied about this nostalgic game, said Waterman.
"It's just a blast."

MADISON—For most women, having a Pap test has been part of a yearly
routine, but new guidelines from the United States Preventive Services
Task Force (USPSTF) now recommend that women be tested for cervical
cancer either every three years or every five years, depending on the
screening test performed.
"While women may be used to a more frequent schedule of Pap tests,
recent studies have shown that this new schedule is highly effective at
detecting cervical cancer early, while at the same time reducing the
number of false positive tests and decreasing the burden on the
patient," said Dr. Henry Anderson, State Health Officer. "Women who have
not been screened are encouraged to talk with their health care provider
about the cervical cancer screening schedule that is right for them."
Wisconsin health officials encourage women to know their risks for
cervical cancer and to get screened as appropriate. While women should
start getting regular Pap tests at age 21, the new guidelines state that
if that test is negative, and a woman is not in a high-risk group, she
need not be retested for three years. High-risk groups include women
infected with HIV or who have some other condition that weakens their
immune system, women exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) before birth,
and women who have previously been diagnosed with cervical cancer or who
have had certain findings on previous Pap tests.
Another test that can be used together with the Pap test to determine
a woman's risk for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV)
test. Infection with HPV has been shown to be the first step toward
developing cervical cancer. The HPV test is generally reserved for women
aged 30 and older. The USPSTF now says that if a Pap test and the test
for HPV are done at the same time, and both are negative, then a woman
doesn't have to be retested for five years.
Cervical cancer is highly preventable because it usually takes a
number of years for abnormal cells to progress into cervical cancers.
Most women diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States have
either never had a Pap test, or have not had a Pap test in the last five
The Wisconsin Well Woman Program (WWWP) provides cervical cancer
screening to low-income uninsured women aged 45-64. For more information

Written by David Bernstein, MD, FACP, FACG Friday, 19 February 2010 00:00
Autoimmune hepatitis is a common form of chronic liver disease that is quite commonly encountered in our area. As there are no specific markers for this condition and it is seldom considered by physicians, its diagnosis is often delayed or not made at all. This chronic condition is a result of alterations in the body's immune system which lead to the production of specific chemicals that attack liver cells. These specific chemicals have yet to be identified, however the condition of autoimmune hepatitis is well described. Simply said, this condition is a result of an enhanced immune response directed at the liver.
Autoimmune hepatitis classically affects young woman in their second and third decade of life. Having said this, however, this condition may present at any age. People with autoimmune hepatitis may seek help from a physician because they have been noted to have very high liver chemistries or even mildly elevated liver tests. About 50 percent of people will present with liver chemistries in the high hundreds or even in the thousands. This scenario is no different than the presentation of any form of acute hepatitis including hepatitis A and B and any drug-induced hepatitis. A person typically complains of fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss. He or she may become jaundiced or yellow. These complaints are also no different than any other form of acute hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is diagnosed after all these other forms of acute liver disease have not been found to be the cause. These episodes of abnormal liver tests can spontaneously resolve and recur at a later time. Despite the fact that there are no specific markers for autoimmune hepatitis, there are certain blood tests which are typical for this condition. The serum total protein is usually very high and the serum immunoglobulins (chemicals made by the body as part of the immune system response) are also elevated. Autoantibodies such as the anti-smooth muscle antibody are usually positive. These tests are generally sufficient to make the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis and once the diagnosis is made, therapy should be initiated.
A liver biopsy is essential in the evaluation of autoimmune hepatitis. About 50 percent of people who first show signs of autoimmune hepatitis will already have cirrhosis on a liver biopsy. This is important for both the patient and physician to know. Classically, the liver biopsy in autoimmune hepatitis is filled with plasma cells, the cells in the blood stream which are involved in the body's immune system.
The most commonly described person with autoimmune hepatitis is a young woman with a history of acne, an abnormal menstrual cycle and hirsuitism. Most patients, however, do not give this classic history and simply have the blood tests consistent with the disease. Other conditions associated with autoimmune hepatitis include arthritis, skin diseases, kidney disease, lung disease, thyroid disease and anemia, to name just a few.
The treatment of autoimmune hepatitis is aimed at modulating the immune system. Therefore, the initial treatment is a steroid such as prednisone which is very slowly tapered over a long time course. As steroids have significant side effects, especially when given over a long period of time, other immune modulators such as azothioprine are given in an effort to reduce steroid dosages. If therapy is unsuccessful and the patient develops complications of cirrhosis, liver transplantation is an option in these patients although the condition may recur in the new liver.
