Any new dance piece by Merce Cunningham is worthy of special attention; ''Interscape (2000),'' which was commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts here, sounds good on paper and looks even better onstage.
The ingredients are right, making for a visually striking exercise in perception that recalls the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's early creative collaborations.
The music is a John Cage solo for cello, played by Loren Kiyoshi Dempster. But Cage-fashion, the score offers choices and can also be performed with an orchestra. On the eye-filling side, Robert Rauschenberg, the troupe's resident designer from 1954 to 1964, has come up with tricky, witty and stunning decor.
Essentially, the same images are seen in double. The front curtain suggests a montage of smudged black-and-white photographs. The backdrop has the same images in color, with a crayonish tint. The objects depicted are from Mr. Rauschenberg's grab-bag vision of life, civilization's artifacts.
Among these are a large carousel horse, a wooden figurehead, a frame house that suggests an old hotel and a terraced castle. The pictures fly through space on a flat surface, disconcerting in their overlapping assemblages and yet soothingly reminiscent of a Victorian postcard. At the premiere of ''Interscape (2000)'' on Thursday night at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater, the dancers appeared to have postmarks imprinted on the multihued leotards that Mr. Rauschenberg designed.Continue reading the main story
That these wonderful creatures in shades of blue, green, pink and orange were going somewhere was obvious in Mr. Cunningham's choreography, which had leitmotifs that underwent sudden changes. As a title, ''Interscape (2000)'' suggests connections between sites.
The dancers initially appear like ghostly blurs, barely visible as the smudgy frontcloth turns transparent under Aaron Copp's gorgeous lighting. As this curtain rises, Jeannie Steele and Derry Swan are onstage in straight-legged positions, joined later by three women. The choreography is full of details like arched backs and small steps in place. Duets (especially by Holley Farmer and Daniel Squire) initiate motifs that will recur: a head thrown back, arms linked, back-to-back dancing and shifts of weight, sometimes in the pelvis alone.
The men have a habit of leaping in, adding a web of musculature and volume to the women's lighter jumps. Non sequiturs abound. A female septet, for example, suddenly rotates shoulders, with one shoulder moved forward just before a soloist, Banu Ogan, with red paint on her costume, is enclosed by a group.
The central duet goes to Cedric Andrieux and to Lisa Boudreau, whose blond curls make her look like a movie ingenue, especially when she smiles at her partner after he has placed his hand in the small of her back. There was a time when modern dance involved no partnering. Mr. Cunningham is not one to live by other people's conventions. The surprise of the duet is in its varied lifts. At the end, the man is in profile and the woman, astride his shoulder, faces the audience: a sharp image.
''Interscape (2000)'' is not one of Mr. Cunningham's overt crowd-pleasers. It is a bit long, but its richness is in the detail. Just as Mr. Rauschenberg's two curtains are the same with a difference, so the choreography requires keen looking: its tone is generally the same throughout, but there are unexpected moments. In one, Ms. Ogan starts out with one leg behind the other, twists and winds up in a plie, feet apart.
It would be easy to say that such technical points are for specialists, but Mr. Cunningham knows how to theatricalize movement on a formal level. The cast, superb and articulate, included Ashley Chen, Maydelle Fason, David Kulick, Koji Minato, Robert Swinston and Cheryl Therrien.
A major contribution came from Mr. Dempster, the cellist in the pit playing Cage's music. Cage died in 1992 and this score has not been recorded. But according to Cage's instructions, the music for the soloist, ''One8 ,'' may also be performed with an orchestral piece for 108 musicians, titled ''108.'' Mr. Cunningham has left open that possibility, or a program note suggests that the dancing could be accompanied by orchestra only. On this occasion Mr. Dempster did a capital job with a clear, rich sound that respected the built-in silences and the range of the score, including its occasional warblings and ululations.
The program was completed by ''Summerspace'' and ''Pond Way,'' two Cunningham pieces of great beauty seen last summer at Lincoln Center Festival '99. Unfortunately the company is not scheduled to perform in New York until next year.Continue reading the main story

Rehabilitation Program Benefits Youth and Rescued Animals
CHINO – The Prison Pup Dog Shelter Program recently debuted at the Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility in Chino. This is the first such program in a California Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) facility. On Oct. 30, the first four dogs planned for the program arrived at the institution and met their handlers – wards who have earned the privilege of perfoming community-service working with rescued animals from local animal shelters. Dogs in the program are rehabilitated from past neglect and abuse issues and then retrained for basic obedience and proper socialization for re-adoption into the community.
"This is a worthy cause for our youth to give back to the community and learn about caring and responsibility," said Bernard Warner, Chief Deputy Secretary for the Division of Juvenile Justice. "We are proud to be chosen to be part of this program and are hopeful that the dogs in our care can be given to an appropriate citizen in need, to ease them in life's challenges."
"This is a worthy cause for our youth to give back to the community and learn about caring and responsibility," said Bernard Warner, Chief Deputy Secretary for the Division of Juvenile Justice. "We are proud to be chosen to be part of this program and are hopeful that the dogs in our care can be given to an appropriate citizen in need, to ease them in life's challenges."
The first dogs came from Santa Ana in Orange County via the Canine Support Team, Inc (CST). CST is a California based, non-profit organization that provides specially-trained dogs to people with disabilities other than blindness. Since 1989, CST started placing service dogs with people who use wheelchairs, walkers, crutches or canes.
Heman Stark YCF Superintendent Ramon Martinez noted that this service work is consistent with one of the basic tenets of the state's juvenile system – restorative justice.
"One of the tenets of the DJJ and former California Youth Authority is the concept of restorative justice," Martinez said. "The restorative justice philosophy assumes that when a ward committed a crime that got them referred to the DJJ, society lost something in that act of violence. Restorative justice allows that ward to perform a series of public service acts that restores, or gives something positive back to the community-at-large in a showing of "amends" for that past wrong."
It will be the goal of the youth entrusted with these animals to care for these pets, rehabilitate them from past neglect and train them in basic obedience. The program is intense and based on positive reinforcement and social learning theory. The goal of the program is to teach youth about parenting, responsibility and respect for life. Once trained, these dogs then will be directly placed into a loving home.
The dogs will be trained by wards on a team coming from two programs at the Heman Stark facility. The OR Treatment Team currently has 67 wards assigned. The team is divided between two populations: R Company is a high-risk general population; O company is the Incentive Program, which consists of 36 wards. Wards on the Incentive Program must meet minimum criteria of possessing a High School Diploma or GED, or senior status, and be employed within the institution. They cannot accumulate any negative reports for any violent behavior(s) or gang-related activity. All wards on OR are expected to perform community service.
The Prison Pup Program was spearheaded by Sister Pauline Quinn and made its debut in the California correctional institutional system when then-Warden John Dovey approved the program to begin at the California Institution for Women in September 2002.
The Canine Support Team is a non-profit organization that provides service to people with disabilities. Nearly 20 years ago, CEO, Founder and Training Manager, Carol Roquemore started placing dogs with people who use wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, or canes. The success of the program has grown from 4 puppies to 20 with more than 50 California inmate participants training the animals for dedicated service in the community.
Recently CST was looking to expand the existing prison-based program. Research of the local animal shelters shows a high kill rate of unwanted dogs left in animal shelters for extended periods of time. The main reason for euthanizing pets is due to limited resources in caring for them. The overall neglect and abuse has left them in a desolate state.
The Prison Pup Program is partnered up with Prison Pup Program Manager, Donna Shawver and Janette Thomas, Chief Operating Officer and Training Supervisor, and Michelle Lee, Treatment Team Supervisor from Heman Stark YCF. The case managers working directly with the program are Jared Mory and Cedric Shiner, both Youth Correctional Counselors, along with support from all the counselors working on the OR Treatment Team.
The Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility is the largest youth correctional facility within the DJJ. This facility opened up in 1959 with an original mission to younger youth in need of reform. Nearly 49 years later, Heman G. Stark is housing some of the state's most violent and older wards with more serious offenses.

Puerto Rican small forward one of nations finest
With assistant coaches from Florida, Indiana and Texas front and center for his morning game, 6-foot-10, 2005 prospect Ricky Sanchez recorded 13 points, 7 rebounds and four blocks. Perhaps the top prospect in his class from a potential standpoint, Sanchez is a long, lean player who plays like a smaller guard. Preferring to hover around the perimeter, he showed nice form and deep range on his jumper. Sanchez has pro moves when he puts the ball on the floor but needs to get stronger in order to become a better finisher.
With his stock likely to climb during the summer, Sanchez had a less than enthusiastic performance in the nightcap. However, with almost unlimited potential, he will have his choice of colleges to choose from and named a few of his early favorites.
"Texas, Florida, Kansas, UCLA and Indiana are some of the schools I like right now," Sanchez said. "I'm interested in other schools as well but those are the ones I like the most."
Next season Sanchez is expected to attend high school in Texas.
Alaskan point guard rolling 7's in Vegas
Alaska/ NM Pump 'N Run point guard Mario Chalmers had one of the best performances of the tournament Saturday with a 40 point effort in a win over EBO/ EA Sports. Chalmers, 6-foot-1, 165-pounds, was impressive from all over the court offensively, knocking down his long range jumper or seemingly penetrating at will. Blessed with great quickness and a solid handle, Chalmers ran the point as well as any guard in the tournament.
On the defensive end he proved a good on ball defender who can defend the length of the floor. He used his long reach and nice instincts to harass the opposing guards into mistakes.
As might be expected there are a long list of schools lined up for his services but six have jumped to the front of the pack.
"I like Marquette, North Carolina, Arizona, UCLA, Kansas and Wake Forest," Chalmers said. "All have offered but Carolina.
"I'm looking for a school where I can make a sudden impact."
Look for Chalmers, who is currently ranked 25th in the nation by Rivals.com, to rise in the next rankings.
Good things come in 3's. Players who impressed Saturday
Team Texas small forward Calvin Miles enjoyed another solid performance despite sitting out much of the 2nd half in his teams rout of Moapa Valley. Miles, 6-foot-6, did an excellent job of playing under control and proved with his length and handle he creates mismatches from midrange or in the paint.
Shooting guard Bryan Harvey of the SoCal All-stars showed nice athleticism and the ability to knock down the long bomb from downtown. Harvey, 6-foot-5, 190-pounds, connected on four three pointers in his afternoon contest and was also able to drive to the basket and finish.
Not many doubt his athletic ability and Houston Hoops small forward Fendi Onobun has plenty of that to go around. Onobun, 6-foot-6, 225-pounds, spend Saturday attacking the basket and physically shoving defenders around on the block. He runs like a deer and is currently working on his mid-range game. If that part of his game develops he will be more than a handful to guard.
Quick, fast and in a hurry
Rick Pitino and Mike Krzyzewski were in attendance for the Belmont Shore game featuring 2005 power forward Jamal Boykin
Texas assistant Russell Springmann was a busy man Saturday watching Houston Select guard Henry Dugat, Puerto Rican small forward Ricky Sanchez and Team Texas small forward Calvin Miles.
2004 small forward Lamar Roberson from EBO/ EA Sports is likely headed to prep school. Last year Roberson gained national recognition after playing well at the Tournament of Champions but soon came up missing in action after moving from Louisiana to California.
The early list for 2007 big man Kevin Love consists of Arizona, Duke, Oregon and UCLA. Although the hot rumors surround Love consisted of him making the leap straight to the NBA.
2006 shooting guard Christian Polk currently favors UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State and Florida State.

Mladin Comments On Track Conditions At Brainerd
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

From a press release issued by Mat Mladin's publicist:

MLADIN THIRD FASTEST AT BRAINERD

Defending American Superbike champion, Australian Mat Mladin has posted the third fastest time in the opening qualifying session for this weekend's eleventh round of the AMA Chevy Trucks US Superbike Championship being held at Brainerd International Raceway, Minnesota.

Mladin pushed his Blimpie Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R750 to a best time of 1-min 36.934-mins around the ultra fast 4.828km during the one-hour session, trailing championship point's leader Nicky Hayden (1:36.608) and Eric Bostrom (1:36.785).

"We spent today sorting through a lot of race preparation stuff rather than trying to just set a single fast lap time here today," said Mladin. "The team has been working hard to cure the handling problems that I've had lately and we have made some good improvements, especially with the front suspension, while we still need to work a bit more on the rear. The most noticeable problem that we had out on the track today was that we were down on speed, especially to the Honda's. We'll see what we can do about it, but I think it will be hard."

American Honda's Miguel DuHamel completes the provisional front row of the grid with a time of 1:37.065. Row two is headed by Doug Chandler (HMC Ducati, 1:37.265), followed by Aaron Yates (Blimpie Yoshimura Suzuki, 1:38.161), Kurtis Roberts (Erion Honda, 1:38.354) and Jamie Hacking on the third Blimpie Yoshimura Suzuki (1:38.536).

One issue to arise from the opening day's riding was the condition of the track surface at Brainerd. A number of riders were concerned at the surface which was rough and bumpy in many places.

"The track surface is quite terrible at the moment," added Mladin. "At a number of points around the circuit there is this rubbery black sealer stuff that is coming up through the joins of the bitumen and making things very difficult. You really have to pick your line through some of the turns to avoid crossing the strips as they are quite noticeable and unsettling on the bike."

Mladin heads into Sunday's race holding down sixth place overall on the championship point's table. Nicky Hayden is the current points leader after 10 rounds, followed by Bostrom and Yates.

This place has a very nice location, sea is near, shops are near, busstop near. It has no safety locks though, to keep your belongings safe if you share your room. The hostelkeeper is very helpfull though, providing you with the most interesting places for an active holiday. I would definitely recommend this hostel for a group of people :)

This place is very comfortable and everything is present to have a good atmosphere. The low amount of possible renters make in a nice calm place to stay after a long day at plitvice lakes. The only downside was getting there. I got there from zagreb and after 6 30 there is no local bus no more from the Plitvice area to Korenica, where this place is located. But even then we were picked up from the busstation by the owner :)

India's National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) has asked broadcaster Channel Four to provide information from a news documentary that it plans to air on Thursday about alleged data theft in India.
Channel 4's Dispatches programme will feature the results of a sting operation in which an undercover reporter was offered credit card information for customers of UK banks that have outsourced processing work to India. The men offering the information claim to have got it from staff at Indian call centres and business process outsourcing (BPO) operations, according to newspaper reports.
Acting through a law firm, Nasscom has asked Channel 4 to provide it with details of the allegations it plans to air, together with evidence and any other supporting documentation, Nasscom said. It asked the broadcaster to cooperate "immediately, fully and wholeheartedly" with Indian authorities, to help them prosecute the alleged data thieves in India.
Channel 4 has so far refused to provide the information, according to Nasscom.
Several sting operations by newspapers and TV channels have attempted to expose faults in the Indian call centre and business process outsourcing (BPO) industries.
Last year newspaper The Sun reported that its undercover reporter was sold secret information on 1,000 bank accounts by an employee of a call centre in Delhi. Indian police said they could not make an arrest unless a formal complaint was made by the call centres involved, the banks or their customers. Some of the banks named in the report said their data had not been compromised.
Nasscom's president, Kiran Karnik, accused such sting operations of goading people into committing crimes that otherwise might not have been committed. Sting operations such as the one conducted by Channel 4 sometimes go beyond uncovering wrongdoing and actually induce crimes that are then recorded and aired, he said in a statement yesterday. In this case, one of the alleged criminals has said that the data he offered for sale was fake, according to Karnik.
India has had its share of data theft cases, however. Earlier this year, an Indian back-office and customer support operation of British bank HSBC complained that an employee had stolen confidential data, and used it to defraud 20 of the bank's customers in London to the tune of £233,000.
The employee has been prosecuted by Indian police. HSBC described the incident as a one-off.
Sunil Mehta, vice president of Nasscom, argued that the incidence of data theft and data privacy breaches is lower in India than in the UK and the US.

Holly Branson
Here are five things you need to know about Holly Branson:
-Holly's father is none other than Sir Richard Branson, the chairman of Virgin Group.
-Holly's father is none other than Sir Richard Branson, the chairman of Virgin Group.
-She recently announced that she is giving up her career as a medical doctor to work alongside her father. Yes, gentlemen, she's not only beautiful but super-smart. Her diligence, maturity and intellect put her in an heiress class alongside Ivanka Trump, Bianca Rinehart and the Fredriksen twins: young, beautiful and filthy rich, but also very hardworking and determined to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.
-In April 2013, Holly Branson hosted an event to promote We Day UK, which is scheduled for March 7, 2014.
-Branson got married to Fred Andrews on Necker Island.
-Holly Branson attended St. Edward's School, Oxford, one of England's top boarding schools.
AppealHolly Branson, heiress to a family fortune estimated to be £2-3 billion, is a tall, blond, blue-eyed young woman with a medical degree and a bust that seems to burst with enthusiasm. Beauty, body, brains, bank.
Remember in college, there was that girl (or guy) who could party until the sun was coming up, hold her own against anyone, have a great time without doing anything humiliating, still make it to her classes, and still score top marks in all of them? By every account, Holly Branson was that girl. Her fellow students at University College London say that for most of the five years she attended the school, she did her level best to conceal her wealth from people she met. They describe her as "down to earth." Now come on, even if she's not your type it's really difficult to not find this especially endearing.
SuccessHolly Branson is almost universally regarded as a confident, hardworking and intellectually gifted woman. She is a licensed medical doctor -- a status no amount of money or privilege could buy. Yet heirs and heiresses are judged by standards far more rigorous than the rest of us, for both good and obvious reasons. The rest of us have little room to judge; we can't objectively know we would do things any differently if we were raised in privilege.
Nonetheless, the Holly Bransons of the world will always have their accomplishments subverted, to one degree or another, by their name. For some of them, this is fitting. For others, unfortunate. We think Holly belongs in the latter category. Academically, Holly has proven herself; this is beyond dispute. For this success alone, she earns the benefit of the doubt with her emerging Virgin adventure.
Holly Branson BiographyHolly Branson is the first child born to flamboyant, self-made billionaire Sir Richard Branson and his second wife, Joan Templeman. Her parents weren't married when she was born, but when Holly was eight, she convinced them to get married -- an early indication, perhaps, of her charm and easy interpersonal skills.
holly branson goes to schoolWidely regarded as being extraordinarily intelligent, Holly Branson attended St. Edward's School, Oxford, one of England's top boarding schools. According to an unsourced item at Wikipedia, in 1999 she became the first female in the school's history to be named Head Of School (equivalent to Student Body President). On graduating, she pursued her long-held dream of becoming a doctor by attending prestigious University College London, studying pediatrics. On finishing in 2007, Branson began working in the neurology department at Chelsea and Westminster hospital as a junior NHS doctor.
There seemed to be no question about Holly's career path, but that all changed in the summer of 2008.
holly branson and british royaltyAt 16 years old, Holly Branson posed in Cosmopolitan wearing nothing but a pair of Virgin jeans. Ever since, she has been British tabloid fodder, although the chatter really picked up in her early 20s when she and her brother became central figures in the nightclub circuit surrounding Prince William and Prince Harry.
The chatter went crazy when Prince William began dating Kate Middleton. As the tabloids stormed Middleton at every step, Branson apparently took Kate under her wing and shielded her as best she could from the press, amounting to one of the only girlfriends Kate could trust. Holly's other royal friends include Lady Eloise Anson (paternally related to Queen Elizabeth II) and Lady Alexandra Spencer Churchill (paternally related to both Princess Diana and Winston Churchill).
Richard Branson's biographer Tom Bower claims it's no coincidence that his kids are so tight with the royals -- that it's a connection he actively cultivated when they were younger. He allegedly did numerous favors for Princess Diana and has been willing to do the same for Princes William and Harry.
holly branson saves a lifeHolly Branson made headlines in December 2008 when, aboard a Virgin airways flight from London to Antigua, she answered an urgent intercom request for a doctor and found a passenger in the early stages of a heart attack. Following a quick exam, Branson informed the crew that the man required immediate medical help and that the flight should be diverted. The plane landed in County Clare in Ireland, where the man received life-saving medical treatment.
holly branson becomes a virginIn August of 2008, Holly Branson got an offer from her dad she couldn't refuse. Despite having worked so hard to become a doctor she told the Daily Mail that she wasn't abandoning medicine, but she was going to join the Virgin Group. "I will be using my medical experience to help Virgin set up health clinics, working with NHS doctors in England and to help Virgin Unite, the charitable foundation of Virgin, open health clinics in Africa."
Holly is now walking in the footsteps of her father, a man history will, one day far from now, remember as a visionary entrepreneur, an extraordinary and unselfish humanitarian, and an adventurer with few peers. Holly lacks his flamboyance, but she shares his uncompromising intellect and his unmistakable joie de vivre.

Need a jolt of energy? Me too!
While, summer is an awesome time to get active outdoors, the intense rays can wipe us out.
"Excess heat can drain our energy and make us feel, tired, irritable, and lethargic. It is important to drink water and eat foods with high water content to make sure that we are hydrated and remain energized," reveals celebrity nutritionist, Dr. Oz Garcia, who has worked with Heidi Klum, Kim Cattrall, and Hilary Swank.
Plus, maximize your energy with the right nutrients. Dr. Oz Garcia shares his favorite foods, which help keep the stars powered all day long.
Five Fave Foods for Fuel:
Pistachios are a great source of manganese, copper and vitamin B6, all which contribute to the production of energy in the cells. In addition, just one ounce of pistachios provides 3 grams of fiber, which slows digestion providing a steady energy supply throughout the day. Enjoy these nuts as a snack on their own, or sprinkled over a salad for a tasty crunch.
Not only is salmon high in protein and B vitamins, but also it is rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. The anti-inflammatory property of this essential nutrient aids in providing the brain with a healthy supply of blood, which is important for memory and performance. Studies have shown that deficiencies in this nutrient may be linked to depression, a condition in which fatigue is a common symptom.
Blueberries contain an impressive amount of anti-oxidants, nutrients that help protect our cells from free radical damage. Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants and just one cup of this delicious fruit provides about a quarter of our daily needs. There is some evidence that Vitamin C may reduce levels of fatigue, so in combination with its supply of manganese and fiber, this sweet berry is a smart choice for a midday pick-me-up.
This creamy snack is both calcium and protein-rich and is a source of the amino acid tyrosine. In the body, tyrosine converts into the chemicals dopamine and adrenaline- the "feel-good" chemicals that help us to feel energized. The active cultures in yogurt not only help to maintain digestive health, but they also energize you by helping your immune system function efficiently.
One egg provides 6 grams of high-quality protein, which helps to satisfy hunger and provide a sustained source of energy. Eggs are also rich in the essential amino acid leucine, which aids in the regulation of blood sugar levels and energy production.
Try and include one of these five foods into your diet everyday. Or, rev up your energy with a power combo, like yogurt topped with fresh berries and pistachio nuts for a light breakfast or snack. Learn more about Dr. Oz Garcia at www.ozgarcia.com.

What they're saying about Obama's role
"This is not the change we need, this is not the change we want, this is not the change we should ever vote for or support."
— U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who claimed Obama's health care plan will create 53 new federal agencies.
"We need to take H.R. 3200 (the Congressional health care bill), put gasoline on it and set it on fire."
— Nancy Rumelt of Loveland, who's associated with the 9-12 Project.
Obama's czars "leave the door open for a lot of 'creative' judgment on people with disabilities." The president "didn't say what I wanted to hear."
— Jeff Lambert, a Grand Junction Regional Center employee pushing a client in a wheelchair near the town hall meeting.
"(The health care package) is going to bankrupt the country. I think he's (Obama) lying when he says you can keep your own health plan. He hasn't fooled me."
— Paul Ash, 52, a Delta Republican who rallied outside Central High School.
"I want to support Obama. I think he's got a big job ahead of him, and I bless his effort."
— Bob Gardner, 57, Basalt, demonstrating
on Warrior Way outside Central High School.
"I had never been involved in politics but felt compelled this year. This thing about, 'Grandma's going to die,' it's crazy."
— Chuck Ernst, 69, of Colorado Springs, who left at 7 a.m. to drive to Grand Junction to rally outside Central High School.
"If you want to mortgage my kids' future and make them ignorant and poor, I will fight that like a tiger."
— Marcy McGlochlin of Grand Junction, who had a ticket to the town hall meeting, but couldn't get in when she arrived five minutes too late with her husband, Roy.
"They are trying to rip the foundations of this country right out from underneath us. We have to fight."
— Liz Matz, Republican, Paonia, who attended two anti-Obama rallies Saturday.
"I think this rally is very important because it gives people the opportunity to show their opposition to what is happening in Washington, and I think it's more than just a health care issue. I think it has to do with all the rights that have been trampled on and, with this administration as well as previous administrations, government politicians are out of control. They have no concept of what the people really want. They are out of touch. They are so bound up with special interest groups that they won't focus on the people who put them in office. And it's ridiculous that they are running over our rights, and they need to start listening to the people."
— Susan Renz, 47, of Grand Junction, an independent, at the Lincoln Park rally
"I have grandparents who are going to be going through difficulties that arise from this health-care bill. In fact, I have a grandfather who sadly passed three weeks ago, but he had a kidney transplant five years ago at 78, which I don't think he would have gotten under this (plan). ... He got another five years that he wouldn't have had otherwise, and I still have three other grandparents, and I don't want to see them have their health care rationed."
— Shawn Allen, 30, Republican, Grand Junction
"I don't like that there are so many issues with it, like the cost of it and how it doesn't cover tort reform. That's an extremely important thing that has to be covered in it. It would make taxpayers have to pay for abortions, and I am absolutely against our tax dollars having to pay for that."
— Colleen Nycum, Republican, 39, Grand
"I'm trying to open the Roan because the oil field is super slow, and I used to have a job, and now I don't."
"There are other issues: The oil field is super slow, and Ritter has been shutting everything down, and Obama is anti-oil field, and I don't have a job because of that."
— Jojo Been, 17-year-old male, conservative, Grand Junction

Travels with a Rhinoceros in Eighteenth-Century Europe
By Glynis Ridley
Atlantic Monthly. 222 pp. $22
Sometime in 1741 a young Dutchman named Douwemout Van der Meer, a captain in the Dutch East India Company, sailed from Calcutta with a most unusual cargo: a young female Indian rhinoceros named Clara. He had acquired her from one of the company's directors in India, who had taught her "to walk indoors, navigating her way around the elegant furniture, and to eat from a dinner plate." There could be no more of that as she neared the immense dimensions of rhino adulthood, though, so Van der Meer purchased her, in hopes of a "lifetime's income" to be earned exhibiting her around Europe, to which a rhinoceros was strange, alien and exotic.
As Glynis Ridley demonstrates in this exceptionally intelligent and occasionally witty book, it was a genuinely remarkable undertaking: "Since the fall of the Roman Empire, no one had managed to bring a rhinoceros to Europe and keep it alive long enough to understand anything about the care of the species." Van der Meer was winging it, and apparently without any particular knowledge of or training in the care of exotic animals. It was not much short of miraculous that he was able to sail her safely from Calcutta to Rotterdam, considering the length of the journey and the cramped conditions aboard a Dutch East Indiaman, but that was only the beginning: For 17 years, until Clara's "sudden and wholly unexpected" death in 1758, she and Van der Meer traveled Europe and crossed the channel to England, elevating her to "the status of an international celebrity."
Little is known about Van der Meer. He was 36 when he acquired Clara, "without either money" (though obviously he had enough to purchase her) or "civic status." In an age when nobility counted for much, he had no title until 1746, when a baronetcy was bestowed upon him by the imperial family of the Holy Roman Empire; its members, especially Empress Maria Theresa, greatly enjoyed the private viewings of Clara -- indeed "Clara delighted her Habsburg hosts beyond even Van der Meer's wildest hopes."
What does seem fairly certain about Van der Meer is that he treated Clara with solicitude and kindness. She required huge amounts of food ("a rhinoceros lives to eat"), "prodigious quantities of vegetation in order to maintain [herself] in peak condition -- at least 150 pounds a day." Occasionally Van der Meer arranged breaks in which Clara was able to graze happily on meadows or farmlands, but mostly they were on the road, which meant that Van der Meer was significantly out of pocket to keep her fed and healthy. "However we finally judge Van der Meer," Ridley writes, "it is important to remember that he himself judged Clara's most basic and most necessary requirements absolutely right."
So it is fortunate that Clara pulled in significant amounts of money. Precisely how significant we do not know, but Van der Meer usually charged admission (sometimes set according to customers' ability to pay or the place they were assigned in the viewing hierarchy), and he peddled souvenirs with the avidity of a theme park operator. These included woodcuts, copper-engraved posters, bronze and silver medallions, and "marble, bronze and porcelain models" designed for the great German firm of Meissen by its master modeler, Johann Joachim Kaendler. Not merely was this much to Van der Meer's profit, but "the sketches and resulting models that [Kaendler] made of her were to change for ever the way Europeans imagined the species and represented the rhinoceros in the plastic arts."
Clara was taken to the great courts of Europe -- where, invariably, she was fawned over -- but also to cities and towns where ordinary citizens, especially those of the relatively new and rapidly rising wealthy entrepreneurial class, paid to see her and to acquire proof that they had done so. "Wealthy Germans wanted Clara memorabilia of high status, fit to be put on display," hence the arrangement with Meissen. But "knowledge of and access to her was not limited to a moneyed intelligentsia," hence cheaper souvenirs. Whatever their cost, all of these "became enough to conjure up new or exotic worlds," as is suggested by one stop on her astonishing tour:
"Clara's visit to Stuttgart in May 1748 was the occasion of a very public weigh-in. It is therefore possible to record that, on 6 May 1748, she was a healthy 5,000 pounds. In the twenty-first century, we can readily conceive of Clara's weight in relation to that of, say, a car. A mid-eighteenth-century audience had no such point of comparison. Clara was bigger, heavier and stranger than anything in their wildest imaginings. The notion that there were places where such creatures were not uncommon must have seemed incredible."
To transport his very large cargo, Van der Meer commissioned the construction of "a travelling coach unlike any other." It was an immense wagon, a "long, low and crudely constructed box" with wheels "at least half the height of the wagon," pulled by eight horses. When Clara traveled by waterway, it was aboard a barge that also was pulled by a team of horses. Wherever she traveled, people gathered along the roadway or riverside to gawk and shout.
This "rarest and most lucrative animal to have been displayed in Europe" was six feet tall, 12 feet in circumference and 12 feet long. She was as sweet as she was large: "Had Clara . . . been given to bouts of aggressive or unpredictable behavior, she would never have been placed within reach of the assembled heirs of any royal house -- and the frequency of her royal visitors, of all ages, is powerful proof of her gentle and unthreatening nature." With regard to that, it is useful to bear in mind that from a very young age she had been "accustomed to taking food from humans," which suggests that if by nature she was trusting, her experience with humans made her all the more so.
Almost nobody has heard of her now, but in her day Clara was what we now call a media phenomenon. It is in great measure what was written about her in papers and journals of the day that gives Ridley the raw material for this meticulous and unexpectedly moving book. Her judgment of Clara is wise and kind:
"Clara may long since have been reduced to a set of skeletal remains, currently gathering dust in some London museum, but in a very real sense she is still physically present in our culture. Before her, only a handful of early modern Europeans had seen an Indian rhinoceros. Many believed the animal to be a myth. Those who had seen -- and faithfully reproduced -- a copy of Dürer's 1515 engraving, Rhinoceros, were unaware that they saw a beast in armour rather than an armour-plated beast. But as Clara toured 18th-century Europe, and as images of her proliferated in a variety of media and permeated European culture, she became the archetypal rhinoceros. Few animals have ever had such an impact and changed for ever the way in which we see and understand their species. This, then, is Clara's achievement and, finally, her obituary."

Darmstadt, Germany, June 17, 2014 - Using the electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool, CST STUDIO SUITE, Kymeta Corporation designs a novel range of lightweight portable antennas for mobile satellite communications.
Kymeta Corporation was formed to commercialize a new, innovative metamaterials-based antenna technology for satellite communication known as Metamaterials Surface Antenna Technology (MSA T).
By replacing the traditional beam-steering mechanisms such as gimbals and phased arrays with MSA T, Kymeta aim to produce antennas that are lightweight and responsive to use on the move and in the field. To design a working metamaterials-based antenna with low power requirements and a small form factor, Kymeta needed to optimize a multitude of interdependent variables.
"CST MICROWAVE STUDIO provided a necessary component of our RF design flow at Kymeta. Without it, the challenge of designing numerous interrelated antenna features would have been nearly insurmountable," said Adam Billy, Lead RF Design Engineer, Kymeta Corporation.
By integrating virtual prototyping into the design process, Kymeta was able to gain insight into the functioning of the antenna, minimize the number of real prototypes required and reduce costs. The full success story explaining how Kymeta used electromagnetic simulation can be downloaded here.

Did investors overdo the selling in wheat?
In the last session, futures fell 2% in Chicago to close
below $6 a bushel, while Kansas City hard red winter wheat tumbled nearly 3%,
after the US Department of Agriculture in its monthly Wasde report unexpectedly
raised estimates for world stocks at the close of 2014-15.
The upgrade reflected improved hopes for production in the
likes of the European Union, China and even Russia, where many investors have
been concerned over dryness, with the lifts only partially offset by raised
ideas on consumption.
However, the data alone did not appear as bearish as the drop
in prices suggested. Stocks as of the end of this season were pegged some 1.6m
tonnes above expectations.
'Closed poorly'
OK, there were some other factors involved.
"Expectations of better US harvest progress in the winter
wheat classes into the weekend are also a negative input," Brian Henry at
Benson Quinn Commodities said.
Furthermore, charts played a big role
"Fund selling increased on fresh negative technical inputs
such as markets failing at their prior lows," Mr Henry said, adding that July
contracts "closed poorly from a technical standpoint".
At Citigroup, Sterling Smith said that "funds by our count
have moved into a small net short position", after selling an estimated 5,000
lots in the last session.
'Quest for value'
Still, with this clearing the overhang of the large net long
that funds had a month or two ago, this means the market is "perhaps a step
close to a more sustainable rally", Mr Smith said.
And prices indeed rose on Thursday, helped by a concept
raised by Mr Henry, that they "continue in a quest for value".
US cash basis rose on Wednesday, even as futures were
dropping, suggesting that end users were not quite as downbeat as hedge funds.
And that idea gained strength overnight when Gasc, the grain
authority, the world's largest wheat importing country, unveiled a tender for the
grain for late July shipment.
Prices rise
A tender at a time when Egypt is often focusing on mopping
up domestic supplies gave some hope that prices may have fallen enough for now.
Is Gasc worried that dryness in Russia, a major supplier,
may prove an issue after all?
Soft red winter wheat for July rose 0.5% to $5.92 a bushel
in Chicago as of 09:05 UK time (03:05 Chicago time), rebounding from its lowest
finish since mid-February.
Kansas City hard red winter wheat for July added 0.5% to $7.08
a bushel.
'Looks suspect'
Soybeans managed
gains too, as investors reassessed the USDA's decision on Wednesday to cut US ending
stocks for 2013-14 by only 5m bushels, to 125m bushels, and more particularly
to raise by only 5m bushels the estimate for the domestic crush, while leaving
the export figure unchanged.
"This lack of action by USDA seemed to disappoint the longs
who were hoping USDA would have to use negative residuals to make the balance
sheet work out," Benson Quinn Commodities said.
The decision to leave the estimate for 2013-14 US soybean
exports at 1.60bn bushels "looks suspect, given the lack of any cancellations
so far" of orders, Richard Feltes at RJ O'Brien said.
With the US having already committed to far more than 1.6bn
bushels of soybean exports in 2013-14, with nearly three months left in the
season, cancellations (or an estimate upgrade) are needed to balance the books.
More will be known later, when the US reveals weekly data on
export sales (or net cancellations).
They are expected at a negative 100,000 tonnes for old crop
soybeans, and positive 300,000-500,000 tonnes for new crop.
'Nothing to mitigate
Still, Mr Feltes also pointed out that there was "nothing in
Wednesday's report to mitigate concern over tightening old crop US soybean
stocks", with 125m bushels the lowest supplies on records going back to the
1960s, as compared with use.
"Keep your eye on domestic soy basis in weeks ahead," he
There was the potential for the USDA to make a more thorough
revisions to the soybean balance sheet in the July Wasde, depending on what
comes out on a much-watched quarterly US inventory report due on June 30.
Soybeans for July gained 0.5% to $14.52 a bushel in Chicago,
helped too by a firm performance by futures on the Dalian exchange in China,
the top importer of the oilseed, where the benchmark January contract edged 6
yuan higher to 4,487 yuan a tonne.
Dalian soymeal
for September, the best-traded contract nudged 4 yuan higher to 3,763 yuan a
tonne. In Chicago, the July soymeal lot gained 0.5% to 484.80 a short ton.
'Large boost in
Even corn got in on the recovery, although its revival was
more muted, against a backdrop of continued ideas of ideal US weather and a
record harvest ahead.
While the USDA in the Wasde "left the new crop balance
unchanged", this has "set the stage for a potentially large boost in yields on
the July report if the weather and crop conditions continue to be as good as
they are", Citigroup's Sterling Smith said.
"The market now looks to be targeting the $4.20-a-bushel
area as long as the weather stays bearish."
Richard Feltes at RJ O'Brien, which raised its own estimate
for the US corn yield by 1.0 bushel per acre, said that "corn bulls must
consider the risk that the 2014 US corn yield will edge higher.
"A 170 bushels per acre US corn yield suggests end-2014-15 US
corn stocks in excess of 2.1bn bushels," and the potential "continued erosion"
in December futures to the "low $4s-a-bushel area".
'Still seeing
positive margins'
Still, demand is holding up too, with the 944,000 barrels a
day of ethanol produced last week in the US one of the strongest numbers on
record, and suggesting bumper use of corn on this score.
Although China's suspension of imports of US distillers'
grains (DDGs), a feed byproduct of ethanol manufacture, "may change the
economics for the corn processors, they are still seeing positive margins
despite lower DDG values" CHS Hedging said.
As for exports, data on these has improved of late. Weekly
export sales later are expected at 250,000-500,000 tonnes for old crop, and 300,000-500,000
tonnes for 2014-15.
Corn for July gained 0.1% to $4.41 ˝ a bushel, bouncing from
its lowest close in nigh on four months, and outpacing the December lot which eased
0.1%, also to $4.41 ˝ a bushel.
The old crop outperformance may also have been a result of
the wind-down of the fund rolling process, whereby they sell near-term
contracts, ahead of expiry, and reinvest in further-ahead lots.
'Quality and
condition issues'
Among soft commodities, it was too early to answer perhaps
the biggest question, of whether New York arabica
coffee futures will build on their 4% gain in the last session, amid
decreasing confidence of talk of a stronger than expected, or rather less weak
than expected, US harvest.
Mr Smith flagged a "steady stream of reports that overall
bean size is small and there are quality and condition issues as well.
"The questions about the size of the Brazilian crop continue
to mount and further volatility should be expected."
But raw sugar
maintained its downswing, dropping 0.4% to 16.74 cents a pound for July, the
lowest for the contract itself in nearly four months, if within the trading
range for the rolling spot contract graph.

North Side (6-5, 2-2 SAC) once again gave a team its only conference loss of the year as it defeated Concordia 66-58 at the Cage Friday night.
The victory comes after handing Northrop its only conference loss on Dec. 14, and makes the Redskins one of two losses for both Concordia and the Bruins on the entire season. But North Side also has two conference losses against Wayne and Snider to go with its big wins.
"You know, we play well against guys that bring it out against us, like Northrop and Concordia, obviously, but there have been other opponents on our schedule where we just show up and we don't give the effort and don't play as a team and don't bring the energy," North Side head coach Shabaz Khaliq said. "We're a talented club, but we're a lazy ball club, and when we find it within ourselves to give this type of effort on a consistent basis, we'll see consistent success."
If North Side can manage to play the team-oriented game it did against the Cadets, it shouldn't struggle to turn the corner and continue to beat not only the top teams in the area.
The Redskins nearly had four players in double figures Friday night. Trevion Crews 18 points and five rebounds led the team, but it also had Sean McGee and Dwight Richards score 14 points each. Mike Davis chipped in with nine points as well.
"I always tell our kids we're two extra passes away every possession from being a great team, and sometimes we don't make that extra pass," Khaliq said. "More times than not tonight, we did, and other games, more times than not we didn't, and you see the difference in the results."
As the Redskins had multiple players contributing, Concordia had to rely heavily on only two guys to carry its scoring load.
D.J. McCall and Brian Gremaux scored all but eight of Concordia's points in the game as each finished with 25. Gremaux also contributed 17 rebounds in the contest to help keep Concordia close.
The two were the only players to score for Concordia until the 5:05 mark of the third quarter, when Ryan Gross made a free throw. It wouldn't be until the 1:07 mark in the third when Concordia would get a field goal from Gross, the first shot made by someone other than McCall or Gremaux. In total, only four Concordia players would score in the contest.
"We were one of 23 from three, that was a big problem for us," Concordia head coach Josh Eggold said. "Brian really established inside, and then they could collapse down on him later in the game. We have to be able to loosen that up with some outside shooting that we just didn't make tonight."
The loss for Concordia (11-2, 3-1) leaves no one undefeated in the SAC.
Concordia still has to play Northrop and Wayne in the coming weeks, so it isn't out of the conference race.
"It's a good conference; it's a conference that is going to prove itself out to be that a lot of people can beat you on any night," Eggold said. "You know, we are still in control of our situation with one loss, but yea, it's going to take an excellent effort."NORTH SIDE 66, CONCORDIA LUTHERAN 58

Jerusalem (Mar. 27)
Chaim Nachman Bialik, the Hebrew Poet Laureate, and Dr. Schmarja Levine were very enthusiastically received upon their arrival in Palestine. There was a public reception given them by the population, and there was much rejoicing over the fact that the national poet had come to make his home in the Jewish homeland. With Bialik and Dr. Levine came Dr. Jacob Kliatzkin.
It is the intention of Bialik to establish in Jerusalem a Hebrew publishing house which would act as the center of Hebrew literature throughout the world.

Singulair for CC

Once a day 10 mg
Singulair for Capsular contraction
I recommend 10mg Singulair ( 1 tablet) at night for 3 months. Works best if started early when encapsulation if noted. This is a costly drug but could save you having revision surgery. Good luck.

Singulair and capsular contracture
The dose for singular is usually 10mg by mouth once a day for about three months. Most plastic surgeons believe that this will help if the capsular contracture is detected early, and the singulair is started early. I would definitely recommend that you discuss the dosing and efficacy of singulair in the treatment of capsular contracture with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Singulair medication for capsular contraction after breast augmentation
10 mg of singulair once a day for 3 months is what I've been doing for some time. The only other caveat is that often insurance companies will not cover the cost of it. I hope this helps!

Singulair and capsular contracture
I give my patients 10mg daily for three months. This is by no means a guaranteed treatment as the studies and really small but the risks are rather low, and it may help you breathe better too. I do a three month course and then re-evaluate. Talk with your ps to see if this might be something you can try.
Singulair dose
If you have a capsular contracture starting, the dose is 10 mg daily, and most surgeons prescribe a 3 month course. Don't stop massage or any other suggested therapy, as they all may help by differing mechanisms.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.

I ordered a sample invitation before ordering all of my invitations and was pleased with the sample. Only downfall of the sample is that you can't order it in the color you want, but they are free so you can't expect much. The invitation is very simple and elegant which is what I admired about them. So I went ahead and ordered my invites. The shipping was fast. However, upon receiving them I noticed the ribbon was not included on the invitation. I don't see anywhere on the website or in the information that the sample invite came in that the ribbon was an extra charge. The ribbon is what makes the invitation pop. After spending just about $200 on 75 invites and envelopes with no extras, I am very disappointed that something as simple as the ribbon is not included. I won't be purchasing them from DB. I will buy my own ribbon and put them on myself.
Recommend: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Reply: Dear Bride to Be-thank you for sharing your concerns. Our Customer Service Manager will be contacting you shortly.

HORRIBLE Camber/Strut Replacement?
Posted 22 July 2007 - 01:26 AM
What are your thoughts on this? Should I replace the struts or what? Junkyard or new?
Posted 22 July 2007 - 01:28 AM
Posted 22 July 2007 - 02:39 AM
This would only work on a street only 'ru since lowering an offroader would do you no good.
Posted 22 July 2007 - 10:38 AM
I say put the car up on stands, loosen all the suspension bolts and fudge in as much neg camber as you can. There really is NO factory adjustment points for camber on these cars. Its nice because you just throw your suspension on and drive, but you also get stupid tire wear. I have the problem about 50% beat on my EA81. I installed 2WD struts which have about an inch lower spring perch as compared to a 4WD strut and I now have ZERO DEGREES OF CAMBER, WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!
This would only work on a street only 'ru since lowering an offroader would do you no good.
I am a street only 'ru (from now on ) But I would still like to keep factory height. What are your thoughts on used struts from a donor vehicle? How hard are they to replace for a mechanically inclined 17 year old? Do i need a spring compressor?
My camber is supposed to be at like 1.75 but it is at 3.56 or something like that.

I can sheepishly raise my hands and give some input... as I have replaced everything on the front of my 84 Brat... just havn't finished the eng. clutch to see how my front end job went.... and mechanicaly inclined, but not in cars and I did... O.K.
I always like going new....but those attachments have been waneing since I have a parts car and man.... that is a cheap fix and if it looks straight... what the heck...
Yes, need spring compressor after removing struts and I layed a tire over the assembly as I unloaded and loaded the spring... and face shield,... I bought a Harbor Freight cheapo spring compressor... it worked and that's all I needed it to do.
I did one side at a time, mark your springs up, down, front back as they should go back in the same way they came out. I noticed on my Brat there were all ready paint marks to reference the position but didn't notice till I started the other side D'oh..:-\ so had to go back and re-do.
Didn't take anymore tools then the usuall and you could probably rent a spring compressor. While I was doing my struts I changed strut upper mounting plate, Leading rod bushings, stabilizer bush, lower control arm bush and ball joint... as all were wore out and had some overtime cash..
The first side took awhile.. the second about 1/2 the time and now I could probably do it 4x faster...
Spray your bolts down with panther piss or what ever to help get them off... that's the hard part.
It was a great learning experience for me.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Thank you for your question. I am happy to assist you.
In order for a credit card company to put a lien against your home, they first need to file suit against you and obtain a judgment.
If you choose to file bankruptcy, the assets that you may retain in a bankruptcy depend upon the Chapter bankruptcy you file and the state exemptions.
As an individual, there are two types of bankruptcy available. A Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13. There are distinct differences in between a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy could discharge (erase) all of your unsecured debt such as credit cards, judgments and personal loans. It would be an opportunity for a fresh financial start. However, you may have to surrender assets that exceed your exemption.
I hope that the information which I provided was helpful to you.

Today's Jets Twit Directory Links September 12, 2012
Post Header Text
- Re-visiting nightmare AFC title game
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — As much as it pains them, the Jets will study the tape from the previous meeting against the Steelers — yes, the 2010 AFC Championship Game.
"You absolutely go back and see what they had success against you with," Rex Ryan said Monday.
Anybody reading this knows the Jets lost, 24-19, after falling behind at halftime, 24-0. After stunning the Patriots in the AFC divisional round, the Jets thought it was their time, but they came out pancake flat and got pushed around by the Steelers.
- Cotchery: It's 'weird' to face Jets
Ex-Jet Jerricho Cotchery's going to face Gang Green for the first time on Sunday.
And it's going to be weird.
"Every week when we start taking our notes on opposing defenses, I write the team's name that we're playing at the top of my page. This week I was writing the Jets, so it was a little weird," Cotchery said with a laugh.
Cotchery spent his first seven seasons with the Jets, establishing himself as a sure-handed target and a veteran presence in the locker room.
- Darrelle Revis Cleared For Physical Activity
According to ESPN Jets reporter Rich Cimini cornerback Darrelle Revis has been cleared for physical activity after suffering a "mild" concussion in Sunday's game against the Bills: Revis cleared for physical activity, but still won't practice today. Nevertheless, a good sign for Sunday. #Jets — Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 12, 2012 This is a positive [...]

Chris Gross breaks down the New York Jets defensive film against the Buffalo Bills
- Injury report: Back pain ruins Kerley's day
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — It was a good news, bad news kind of morning for Jeremy Kerley.
The Jets wideout was named AFC special teams player of the week on Wednesday morning for his breakout performance against Buffalo. But he also woke up with a sore back and likely will not practice on Wednesday.
"Hopefully, he'll feel better tomorrow," Rex Ryan said.
Kerley scored on a 68-yard punt return in New York's win over Buffalo, the Jets' first punt-return touchdown since Santana Moss in 2002.
- SANTONIO HOLMES: Third & Long
ROSLYN HEIGHTS, N.Y. — Sixteen-year-old Jahquie Martin slowly made his way up to the microphone, clutching a few pieces of loose leaf in his right hand. Adjusting the mic with his free hand, Martin cautiously cleared his throat before speaking.
He began like any normal high school teenager would – with a tense lump in his [...]

- Kerley Wins AFC Special Teams Player Of The Week
The NFL has announced that Jets WR Jeremy Kerley has won AFC special teams player of the week for his performance against the Buffalo Bills which was a 68-yard punt return for a touchdown. This is Kerley's first AFC ST player of the week award which isn't surprising considering the touchdown was his first one [...]
- Jets Sign WR Arukwe To Practice Squad, Release WR Pollard
The Jets have announced via Twitter that they have signed WR Stanley Arukwe to the practice squad and have released WR Royce Pollard from the practice squad.
- Scouting report: Early look at Steelers
A quick look at Sunday's opponent, the Steelers:
1. They opened with a 31-19 loss to the Broncos on the road on Sunday night — a tough spot for the Steelers, considering the emotion and drama of Peyton Manning's return. On Sunday, it's the Steelers' home opener, and they've won nine straight home openers. They haven't started 0-2 since 2002, one of only three teams with no 0-2 starts in that span.
2. They face the Jets for the first time since the 2010 AFC Championship Game — a 24-19 Steelers win.
- Namath: Tebow couldn't be Jets' No. 1
Joe Namath was quick to praise Tim Tebow for his work ethic and sincerity.
But if Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez ever were to get injured, Namath doesn't think Tebow could step in and become the New York Jets' No. 1.
"God forbid something happens to Sanchez. See, this is where I'm confused. I don't think the second guy really is Tebow," Namath told ESPNNewYork.com on Tuesday night.
Asked why he believes third-stringer Greg McElroy would be a better fit to take the majority of snaps if Sanchez got hurt, Namath said, "Because you're not gonna win consistently with the Wildcat offense unless Tim passes a lot better, maybe a little quicker.
- Playing-time breakdown: Defense
A look at how the Jets divided the playing time on defense in Sunday's win over the Bills (based on 63 snaps):
Muhammad Wilkerson — 53
Quinton Coples — 32
Kenrick Ellis — 30
Mike DeVito — 27
Marcus Dixon — 16.
David Harris — 63
Calvin Pace — 60
Bart Scott — 54
Aaron Maybin — 16
Garrett McIntyre — 15
Josh Mauga — 11
Bryan Thomas — 9
Yeremiah Bell — 63
LaRon Landry — 63
Antonio Cromartie — 59
Kyle Wilson — 54
Darrelle Revis — 50
Isaiah Trufant — 9
Ellis Lankster — 9
Analysis: The blowout, plus injuries to Thomas and Revis, allowed some of the backups to get more playing time than expected .
- Jets Insider: Debunking Sanchez myth
Mark Sanchez was afforded terrific pass protection Sunday and he responded with arguably the best regular-season performance of his career. So, naturally, Rex Ryan said Monday, "I think when he has time to throw the football, he can be as good as anybody."
Actually, that's not always true.
This may surprise some folks who believe the offensive line was Public Enemy No. 1 last season, but Sanchez was actually one of the better protected quarterbacks in 2011 — and yet he still had 18 interceptions.
- Jets waive WR Turner
In a somewhat surprising move, the Jets waived WR Patrick Turner. The team didn't announce a corresponding move, leaving the roster at 52.
The Jets have six receivers, so they evidently felt Turner was expendable for this week. There is a good chance he re-signs with the team — if he clears waivers. It's possible they want to sign someone from the practice squad who could help this week against the Steelers.
OLB Ricky Sapp was re-signed to the practice squad.
- Jets Waive WR Turner, Cut DB Lewis & Sign LB Sapp
Couple of moves were done today by the Jets. First, they have waived WR Patrick Turner and secondly they cut DB LeQuan Lewis from the practice squad and have replaced him by signing LB Ricky Sapp to the practice squad.

YORKSHIRE have sacked bowling all-rounder Oliver Robinson for what they describe as "a number of unprofessional actions".
Kent-born Robinson's contract as a junior pro at Headingley has been terminated with immediate effect, although there has been interest in his services from a couple of other counties.
The 20-year-old, who debuted for Yorkshire in one-day cricket last year, has played seven times in this summer's NatWest T20 Blast, taking six wickets with his seamers, mainly utilised at the end of an innings.
It is understood that second-team regular Robinson has been dismissed for an accumulation of offences which, while not deemed to be major in isolation, have obviously tested Yorkshire's patience to breaking point.
Robinson, the son of England assistant coach Paul Farbrace's partner Sandra, has played league cricket this summer primarily for Bradford League side Lightcliffe as well as occasionally for Kent club Sidcup.
A club statement read: "The Yorkshire County Cricket Club have announced that Oliver Robinson's contract has been terminated with immediate effect due to a number of unprofessional actions. No further comment will be made."
Speaking late last month, White Rose team-mate Jack Brooks said of Robinson: "I remember on pre-season tour in one of our practice games, I can't remember whether it was between ourselves or a local Sri Lankan side, he just straightaway got his yorkers in at the end of the innings.
"Me and Ryan Sidebottom were like 'we have to practice for weeks to get them like that'. If he's getting them in straightaway, it shows he must be a skillful cricketer. He's like your modern young cricketer, he bats, bowls and fields."
Meanwhile, Robinson's club team-mate at Lightcliffe, Moin Ashraf will play in today's one-day friendly against Sri Lanka A at Headingley as the fast bowler bids to put a disruptive season behind him.
Alex Lees will captain a Yorkshire team without rested senior players such as Andrew Gale, Jonny Bairstow, Tim Bresnan and Brooks.
Fast bowler Ashraf has not played a first-team match in any format this season.
"Moin missed cricket at the start with a hamstring injury," said Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon.
"He got back playing and was doing ok, then he was ill and didn't play for a week. His uncle then died, so he missed another week. It's been a stop, start season for him. Hopefully he can play until the end of the season now.
"He's had two frustrating years really, and he needs to play some continuous cricket to get into rhythm and form.
"It gives us an opportunity to have a look at some of the lads who haven't been playing first-team cricket. They're a good team, Sri Lanka A, and it will be good for us to judge the lads currently out of the first team against them."
Yorkshire 12-man squad v Sri Lanka A: Lees c, Ashraf, Callis, Coad, R Gibson, Hodd w, Hodgson, Leaning, Lyth, Rashid, Wainman, Waite.

Ian Somerhalder Gives Kisses, Creates Art At Built of Barnwood Anniversary [PHOTOS]
The event lasted from 11A.M – 4P.M. and over 2,000 fans showed up, to meet Ian and gaze in to his piercing sexy blue eyes, and for photograph and autograph opportunities.
Ian was seen signing pictures, posters, crucifixes and other pieces of art made by the company.
Professional photography packages with Ian were available at a pre-sale price of $25 or $30 at the door for an 8×10 photograph and a digital JPEG emailed. They sold over 200 photo packages for the event.
Fans waited in a line that stretched out the door, into the streets, to meet Somerhalder.
"He goes green. He loves pets. He's just all around a great guy and looking great doesn't hurt either," said Amber Rhodes. Amber is right, that pretty much sums up Ian!
For birthday girl Mercedes Mayfield, this was a special treat. "I'm about to turn 16, this was like my birthday present," said Mayfield.

Vintage Video Shows Internet-Like Interface for Online Shopping in 1969
Vintage Geek: Fingertip Shopping on the Internet in the '60s
This vintage video of the "Internet" in 1969 plays like a so-sexist-it's-silly scene from Mad Men.
