Absence of thirst is a lack of the urge to drink fluids, even when the body is low on water or has an excess amount of salt.
Alternative Names
Adipsia; Lack of thirst; Absence of thirst
Not being thirsty at times during the day is normal, if the body does not need fluid replacement. But if you have asudden change in the need for fluids, youshould visit your health care provider right away.
Common Causes
As people age, they are less likely to notice their thirst and may not drink fluids when needed.
Absence of thirst may be due to:
- Birth defects of the brain
- Bronchial tumor that causes syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion(
- Hydrocephalus
- Injury or
tumorof part of the brain called the hypothalamus Stroke
Home Care
Follow your health care providers recommendations.
Call your health care provider if
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you notice any abnormal lack of thirst.
What to expect at your health care providers office
The health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination.
Medical history questions may include:
- When did you first notice this problem?
- Did the absence of thirst develop suddenly or slowly?
- Is the thirst decreased or totally absent?
- Are you able to drink fluids?
- Did the loss of thirst follow a head injury?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Do you have abdominal pain?
- Do you have headaches?
- Do you have
difficulty swallowing?
- Do you suddenly dislike drinking fluids?
- Do you have
difficulty breathing?
- Do you have a cough?
- Do you have any changes in appetite?
- Do you urinate less than usual?
- Do you have any changes in skin color?
- What medicines are you taking?
The physical examination may include a detailed nervous system examination if the health care provider suspects a head injury or problem with the hypothalamus. Diagnostic tests will vary depending on the history and physical examination findings.
Based on your evaluation and any tests, your health care provider will recommend treatment if needed.
If you are dehydrated, fluidswill likelybe given through a vein (IV).

The application batchsolve provides a simple command line interface to the OOMMF micromagnetic solver engine.
The application batchsolve is launched by the command line:
tclsh oommf.tcl batchsolve [standard options] [-end_exit <0|1>] [-end_paused] [-interface <0|1>] \ [-restart <0|1>] [-start_paused] [file]where
The input file file should contain a Micromagnetic Input Format (MIF) problem description, such as produced by mmProbEd. The batch solver searches several directories for this file, including the current working directory, the data and scripts subdirectories, and parallel directories relative to the directories app/mmsolve and app/mmpe in the OOMMF distribution. Refer to the mif_path variable in batchsolve.tcl for the complete list.
If -interface is set to 1 (enabled), batchsolve registers with the account service directory application, and mmLaunch will be able to provide an interactive interface. Using this interface, batchsolve may be controlled in a manner similar to mmSolve2D. The interface allows you to pause, un-pause, and terminate the current simulation, as well as to attach data display applications to monitor the solver's progress. If more interactive control is needed, mmSolve2D should be used.
If -interface is 0 (disabled), batchsolve does not register, leaving it without an interface, unless it is sourced into another script (e.g., batchslave.tcl) that arranges for an interface on the behalf of batchsolve.
Use the
-start_paused switch to monitor the progress of
batchsolve from the very start of a simulation. With this
switch the solver will be paused immediately after loading the
specified MIF file, so you can bring up the interactive interface
and connect display applications before the simulation begins. Start the
simulation by selecting the Run command from the interactive
interface. This option cannot be used if -interface is disabled.
-end_paused switch insures that the solver does
not automatically terminate after completing the specified
simulation. This is not generally useful, but may find application
when batchsolve is called from inside a Tcl-only wrapper
Note on Tk dependence: If a problem is loaded that uses a bitmap mask file, and if that mask file is not in the PPM P3 (text) format, then batchsolve will launch any2ppm to convert it into the PPM P3 format. Since any2ppm requires Tk, at the time the mask file is read a valid display must be available. See the any2ppm documentation for details.
The output may be changed by a Tcl wrapper script, but the default output behavior of batchsolve is to write tabular text data and the magnetization state at the control point for each applied field step. The tabular data are appended to the file basename.odt, where basename is the ``Base Output Filename'' specified in the input MIF file. See the routine GetTextData in batchsolve.tcl for details, but at present the output consists of the solver iteration count, nominal applied field B, reduced average magnetization m, and total energy. This output is in the ODT file format.
The magnetization data are written to a series of OVF (OOMMF Vector Field) files, basename.fieldnnnn.omf, where nnnn starts at 0000 and is incremented at each applied field step. (The ASCII text header inside each file records the nominal applied field at that step.) These files are viewable using mmDisp.
The solver also automatically appends the input problem specification and miscellaneous runtime information to the log file basename.log.
Programmer's interface
In addition to directly launching batchsolve from the command line, batchsolve.tcl may also be sourced into another Tcl script that provides additional control structures. Within the scheduling system of OBS, batchsolve.tcl is sourced into batchslave, which provides additional control structures that support scheduling control by batchmaster. There are several variables and routines inside batchsolve.tcl that may be accessed and redefined from such a wrapper script to provide enhanced functionality.

AL Capsules
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Josh Hamilton started the Angels' comeback when he homered leading off the seventh inning, and Los Angeles beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 Sunday for its eighth straight win.
The Angels were unable to get into their dugout until about 90 minutes before the game because bees swarmed into it. A beekeeper was summoned to solve the problem.
Jerome Williams (4-1) then allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings for the Angels, on their longest winning streak since taking eight straight from May 22-29 last year.
Kansas City has lost nine of 10 and 16 of 20, dropping to 21-26. In only three of those 16 losses have the Royals scored more than three runs.
Los Angeles trailed 2-0 before Hamilton homered on the first pitch of the seventh from Wade Davis (3-4), giving the former AL MVP home runs in consecutive games for only the third time since signing with the Angels during the offseason.
BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury hit a game-ending, two-run double on Joe Smith's first pitch, capping a four-run, ninth-inning rally that lifted the Red Sox over the Indians.
Boston won three of four against Cleveland, managed by Terry Francona in his first series back at Fenway Park since leaving the Red Sox after the 2011 season.
Cleveland led 5-2 entering the ninth, when Chris Perez (2-1) walked Dustin Pedroia leading off. David Ortiz doubled, and Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit consecutive RBI groundouts.
Walks to Jonny Gomes and Jose Iglesias around Stephen Drew's single loaded the bases. Perez fell behind Ellsbury 2-1 in the count and left with an arm injury. Ellsbury then doubled to left-center.
Craig Breslow (2-0) allowed one run and two hits in two innings.
HOUSTON (AP) — Bartolo Colon struck out a season-high nine in seven scoreless innings, and the Athletics won their ninth straight against the Astros this season.
Oakland's Nate Freiman, who was with the Astros in spring training as a Rule 5 selection, had a double and home run with three RBIs for the A's.
Dating to 2007, Oakland has won 11 straight against Houston, tied for the third longest winning streak against one team in A's history.
Colon (5-2) won his second straight start, scattering nine hits two day after turning 40.
The Astros are 14-36 in their first year in the AL, their worst 50-game start in club history.
After leaving runners on third in two of the first three innings, Oakland sent nine batter to the plate in a five-run fourth against Dallas Keuchel (1-2).
DETROIT (AP) — Max Scherzer pitched six solid innings to remain undefeated this season, and Avisail Garcia broke the game open with a bases-loaded triple, leading the Tigers over the Twins.
Scherzer, who retired his last 22 batters in a win at Cleveland on Tuesday, allowed a run and three hits Sunday in improving to 7-0. He struck out six and walked three.
Torii Hunter homered for the Tigers, and Prince Fielder drove in a run with a fourth-inning double. Garcia, pinch-hitting in the sixth, cleared the bases to make it 6-1.
Mike Pelfrey (3-5) allowed five runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. He walked three and struck out five.
Minnesota has lost 11 of 12.
TORONTO (AP) — Munenori Kawasaki hit a game-ending two-run double in a four-run ninth inning, lifting the Blue Jays to a victory over the Orioles.
Trailing 5-2 to begin the ninth against Orioles closer Jim Johnson (2-5), the Blue Jays got a leadoff double from Edwin Encarnacion, a single from Adam Lind and an RBI single by J.P. Arencibia.
Brett Lawrie flied out and Anthony Gose walked to load the bases for Mark DeRosa, who made it 5-4 with a fielder's choice.
That brought up Kawasaki, who lined a double up the alley in left-center, scoring Arencibia and DeRosa from first with the winning run.
The blown save was Johnson's fourth of the season and fourth in five chances.
Steve Delabar (4-1) got the win despite allowing Matt Wieters' two-run double in the ninth.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Alex Cobb took a three-hit shutout into the ninth inning and led the Rays to a win that extended CC Sabathia's winless streak to five, one short of his career high.
Cobb (6-2) lost his shutout bid when Brett Gardner homered leading off the ninth and he wound up allowing two runs and five hits in 8 1-3 innings with eight strikeouts.
Sabathia (4-4) dropped to 0-2 with a 4.85 ERA since he beat Toronto on April 27. He allowed seven runs and seven hits in seven innings and is 10-11 in 31 starts against the Rays, including a 3-10 mark since joining the Yankees. His overall ERA is 3.96.
Sabathia's career-high streak for consecutive winless starts is six, from July 3-Aug. 1, 2002, and March 31-April 27, 2003, according to STATS.
SEATTLE (AP) — Jason Bay hit a two-out RBI single in the 13th inning, lifting the Mariners to a victory over Texas that snapped an eight-game skid.
Bay came through after he was robbed of a game-winning homer in the 11, when David Murphy leaped above the fence in left-center field to catch Bay's drive.
Raul Ibanez tied it at 3 earlier in the 11th with a home run. A.J. Pierzynski had given Texas a 3-2 lead in the top half with a pinch-hit RBI single off Oliver Perez.
Yoervis Medina (1-0) worked out a jam in the top of the 13th.
Michael Kirkman (0-1) was the loser.
CHICAGO (AP) — Dayan Viciedo and Alex Rios each threw out a runner at the plate, and the White Sox beat Alex Sanabia and Marlins to sweep their weekend series.
The White Sox have won five of six and nine of 12 to climb back to .500 for the first time since they were 4-4 on April 10. Dylan Axelrod (3-3) benefited from a two-run homer by Adam Dunn and a tiebreaking two-run double from Alejandro De Aza to pick up his third consecutive victory.
Sanabia (3-7) pitched into the seventh inning against the Phillies to end a personal five-game losing streak. But he was unable to sustain that success against Chicago (24-24).

MONTECITO, Calif. (AP) — 12:05 p.m.
(Photo Credit: Santa Barbara Fire Dept / MGN)
The partner of one of the people killed in the California mudslides says the victim had just enough time to shout, "'grab onto some wood and don't let go.'" before he was swept to his death.
Authorities announced Thursday that 73-year-old Peter Fleurat was among those who died in Montecito.
He and his partner of 17 years, Ralph "Lalo" Barajas, were swept out of their home before dawn Tuesday by the devastating slide.
Barajas, owner of a Santa Barbara restaurant, survived with cuts and bruises and a sprained neck.
10:50 a.m.
The huge wildfire that led to this week's devastating debris flows in Montecito, California, is finally 100 percent contained.
The U.S. Forest Service made the announcement Friday after aerial surveys of the 440-square-mile (1,140-square-kilometer) scar left by the so-called Thomas fire.
The fire erupted Dec. 4 in Ventura County, destroying hundreds of homes before it spread into Santa Barbara County and threatened more communities including Montecito.
It continued to smolder before a drenching Pacific storm hit bare hills and mountains this week, unleashing debris-laden flash floods that swept away homes and killed at least 17 people.
The Thomas fire was the largest wildfire in recorded California history.
6:55 a.m.
Southern California authorities say the number of people missing since debris-laden flash floods smashed through the community of Montecito is now five, down from as many as 43 a day earlier.
Santa Barbara County spokeswoman Amber Anderson released the latest number early Friday.
Anderson says the number dropped because people were located, but it could continue to fluctuate greatly.
She says some missing-person reports are rapidly cleared while others take a long time to resolve.
The number of confirmed fatalities remains at 17.
Anderson says the number of personnel searching ravaged neighborhoods has doubled over the past day to 1,250.
11:31 p.m.
The oldest victim swept away in a California mudslide was Jim Mitchell, who had celebrated his 89th birthday the day before. He died with his wife of more than 50 years, Alice.
The youngest, 3-year-old Kailly Benitez, was one of four children killed.
As their names and those of 14 other victims were released Thursday, crews kept digging through the muck and rubble looking for more people.
Santa Barbara fire Capt. Gary Pitney said the likelihood is increasing that rescue crews will be finding bodies instead of survivors at this point.
The mudslide swept through the coastal community of Montecito on Tuesday morning, catching many of the victims entirely off-guard.

North PrivetLigustrum x ibolium
This deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub is America's fasting-growing hedge, growing up to 3' per year. The shrub's dense, dark, glossy green foliage makes it an excellent choice for hedges and privacy screens.
If you're interested in a hedge with a formal appearance, this privet tolerates shearing well. When you grow it as a hedge, shearing it early and often helps to develop thick layers of branches for year-round privacy.

Resume: We explore the impact of stock pay and stock holdings on the pay to performance sensitivity in Denmark. Our research is motivated by the fact that most non-UK/US studies ignore stock based pay and stock holdings when measuring the pay to performance sensitivity. Further, most studies that explore the pay to performance relation apply the Black and Scholes approach assuming that the executive is both risk neutral due to hedge possibilities and well diversified. However, as pointed by Hall and Murphy (2002) executives are neither risk neutral nor well diversified. We adopt the certainty equivalence approach developed by Lambert et al (1991) to demonstrate that in a setting where executives are risk averse and undiversified there is a gap between the cost of granting stock options and the value, which executives receive from the same stock option program. Our findings indicate that the Danish level of pay is lower than in the UK and the US but more in line with the pay in other Scandinavian countries. Further, our results show that stock options are less frequently used to compensate Danish executives. On the other hand, stock ownership seems to be a more popular way to align the interests of the management and the shareholders than stock options. Furthermore, including stock holdings affect our four pay to performance sensitivity measures significantly. We also demonstrate that the pay to performance sensitivity is considerably lower than indicated by the Black and Scholes approach. Finally, the pay to performance sensitivity is on average smaller in Denmark than in the US. However, the pay to performance sensitivity seems similar in Denmark and the UK.

Resume: This paper examines recent attempts to professionalize Danish public sector auditing by the establishment of a certification of public sector auditors known in Danish as Certificeret Offentlig Revisor (COR). The establishment of the COR-certification has led to a dispute over the public sector auditing jurisdiction between a coalition of public sector auditors and the professional bodies of the private sector auditors. The paper outlines the process that led to the decision to create the COR-certification, analyse the COR coalition's attempt to build a network of support for its jurisdictional claim of expertise, and discusses the general implications of the case for the ongoing attempt to create a European certification of public sector auditors. *) Paper presented at the 5th EIASM International Conference on Accounting, Auditing & Management in Public Sector Reforms, Amsterdam September 3-5, 2008 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6745

a case study of the implementation of the EU eigth directive in Denmark 1984-2003Loft, Anne; Jeppesen, Kim K. (København, 2003)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper analyses the complex process through which EU's Eighth Company Law Directive on the qualification of statutory auditors (1984) was implemented in Denmark. The Directive envisaged one group of 'statutory auditors' in each member state. However, in Denmark there were two groups of auditors: the state authorised auditors who had a long education and high status, and the registered auditors who had a shorter education, lower status and whose clients were mainly medium and small sized businesses. An exemption was made in the Directive to allow the registered auditors to continue to audit despite that they did not have the required 'university level' education. This made the issue of education central to the long-term survival of the registered auditors and it consequently became the object of a long conflict between the parties with an interest in auditor education and qualifications: the profession, the state and the educational institutions. This case illustrates the processes of audit regulation in a small European state with a highly developed economy where auditors are approved and regulated by the state but through processes heavily influenced by the profession. It provides an interesting contrast to other studies carried out on the implementation of this Directive, e.g. in the UK (Cooper et al, 1996) and in Greece (Caramanis, 1999), and perhaps some insight into the difficulties which may be encountered in implementing the new Eighth Directive proposed by the Commission in May 2003.

Resume: Adopting a survey approach, our study examines how firms implement impairment test of goodwill. We focus on how firms define and measure the recoverable amount of CGU. The survey includes 58 completed questionnaires representing 73% of the firms on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange that recognise goodwill in the balance sheet. Our survey generally supports that a common practice on impairment tests of goodwill has not yet been established. Based on our analysis it is difficult to determine whether this simply reflects that firms adopt an approach suited to their organisational and economic structures or if it exposes that firms are uncertain as how to apply a standard. The analysis also reveals that some of the methods used when defining a CGU are not in compliance with IAS 36. In addition, we find inconsistencies in the way that firms estimate the recoverable amount. Our analysis should be of interest to a number of parties including firms, financial advisors, auditors, standard setters and users of financial statements.

an empirical analysisPetersen, Christian; Plenborg, Thomas (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Fair value accounting has become predominant in accounting as a vast number of IAS/IFRS standards are based on fair value accounting, including IAS 36 Impairment of assets. Fair value accounting for goodwill is technically challenging, since market prices are not observable. Thus, valuation technologies must be applied in order to test goodwill for impairment. While prior research on goodwill has concentrated on either the (dis)advantages for each accounting procedure for goodwill or examined the value relevance of goodwill (amortization) and goodwill write-offs, little effort has been devoted to the technical problems in the implementation of IAS 36. However, recent research on the topic document that firms commit a variety of errors in applying IAS 36 (Petersen and Plenborg, 2007). We examine firm characteristics that might explain the frequency of errors that firms commit in applying impairment tests. Our findings suggest that at least two factors might explain why errors are present – the lack of an impairment manual and not involving employees with rigorous experience in firm valuation. Our research, which might be seen as the fist step toward guidelines in applying technically challenging accounting standards, should be of interest to firms, auditors and standard setters.

Resume: This study focuses on methodological errors that arise when firm valuation is carried out in practice. Violation of assumptions underlying the valuation models are examples of methodological errors. We analyze valuation spreadsheets from five Danish financial institutions (i.e., stockbrokers and corporate finance departments) in order to trace if firm valuation models are properly applied. We conclude the following: (i) Methodological errors often cause valuation models to generate estimates that differ significantly from the theoretically correct value; and (ii) Firm value estimates were biased due to a variety of methodological errors. The implications of those errors may be significant. Investors are exposed to poor recommendations. Financial institutions such as investment bankers and stockbrokers may be exposed to bad reputation and lawsuits. Accounting firms that do not carry out firm valuation correctly (for example in testing goodwill for impairment) also run the risk of litigations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6746

Resume: 'Growth' as a concept is often not very well understood. Growth may be measured in a variety of ways (e.g., growth in turnover, earnings, earnings per share, assets, and shareholders equity). Investors and other capital providers generally find it attractive to invest in 'growth firms.' For instance, earnings per share (EPS) figures are widely published and used by investors. An increase in EPS is seen as a signal of improved profitability. Likewise, growth in earnings measures such as EBIT, EBITA, EBITDA etc. seem to indicate that firms are value creating. Our paper discusses if and under what conditions growth in accounting variables (accounting numbers and financial ratios) is value creating. We find that growth in one-periodic earnings measures does not necessarily create wealth for shareholders. Only growth in economic income is value creating. Our analysis also provide evidence that users of accounting information should be aware of the quality of growth and distinguish between growth based on transitory vs. permanent components of earnings. Our analysis finally documents that growth in earnings per share or return on equity caused by share repurchases has no economic significance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6750

Resume: This working paper takes stock of the academic literature on the governance of coastal resources and examines the emergence of various instruments, their implementation experiences and their implications in terms of sustainability outcomes. More specifically, it seeks to interrogate the literature in order to: (1) highlight the types of actors involved, their relations and their networks; (2) identify the main processes involved in the governance of coastal resources and different partnership models; and (3) evaluate the outcomes of these processes on social and ecological sustainability. It is the result of activities undertaken by the New Partnerships for Sustainability (NEPSUS) research and capacity building project, which analyses sustainability partnerships in three key natural resource sectors in Tanzania: forestry, wildlife and coastal resources. This paper reviews the overall literature on governance of coastal resources, with the aim of identifying gaps and shaping methodological choices for fieldwork. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9605

Resume: When an enterprise is divided into smaller organizational units, each with its own results accountability, the question arises how to manage and measure the efficiency and profitability of such units. A task which is complicated when organizational units in the same enterprise or enterprise group trade internally as the units have to decide what prices should be paid for such inter-unit transfers. One important challenge is to uncover the consequences that different transfer prices have on the willingness in the organizational units to coordinate activities and trade internally. At the same time the determination of transfer price will affect the size of the profit or loss in the organizational units and thus have an impact on the evaluation of managers" performance. In some instances the determination of transfer prices may lead to a disagreement between coordination of the organizational units and overall profitability of the enterprise on the one hand and measurement of profitability and managers" performance in the units on the other. This chapter addresses these issues. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8374

Resume: This paper examines if the level of voluntary disclosure affects the association between current returns and future earnings. Economic theory suggests that firms might find it advantageous to provide additional pieces of information (i.e., voluntary disclosure) to investors and analysts (Verrecchia 1983). Our results indicate that more voluntary disclosure does not improve the association between current returns and future earnings; i.e. current returns do not reflect more future earnings news. This finding raises the question whether voluntary information in the annual report contains value relevant information about future earnings or if investors are simply not capable of incorporating voluntary information in the firm value estimates. Key words: Disclosure, future earnings, informativeness URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6742

Thc Grand/Duchess has received assurance fr<*i influential circles in the United Stats of. financial assistance for Grand Dul* Cyril, it was stated here today.

American society^ lend themselves as tools tb this plot of the Russian Mon¬ archists of whose ramifications and political, intrigues they arc unaware. This is attributed to the weakness which has become almost proverbial, which Americans display toward European nobility, enabling many political and even low grade adventurers to gain accpss to the highest American cirdcst. and ex¬ ploit them unscrupulously, for their po¬ litical and financial ends. The fact that bearers of best names America will surround the Grand Duchess upon her arrival and will, for a handshake, lend their influence - and money to aid a dangerous political scheme is considered as a manifesta¬ tion of the ignorance and light-heart- ¦ edness which Americans display in deal¬ ing with European political affairs. - The American public docs not seem to be aware of the fact that the claim of the Grand Duke Cyril to the Russian throne is not only_ disputed by the Grand Duke Nikolavitch, but that the num¬ ber of his followers is extremely limited. According to, the <beliei of these who have followed the Russian monarchist ^..^movemcnt closely during the last few yiars. Grand Diuke Cyril himself is a tool in an intricate international politi¬ cal scheme which has curiously enough the sympathy of the Bolshevik Govern¬ ment, the Pope and the Jesuitic order. It was not an accident that the only power to recognize the Grand Duke Cyril's claim to the Russian throne was the Vatican. The Pope has done not because he is in favor of thc establishment of the Czaristic. rule in Russia but because the proclamation of Grand Duke Cyril of Russia has split the Russian moinarcjhistic ranks thus reducing the possibility of the return of the Czaristic rule in Russia. ' The Vatican realizes that in case Grand Duke Cyril's plan should succeed, he would not be recognized by the fol¬ lowers- of the Greek Orthodox Church as the supreme head, as' according to the geneology of the Romanoffs he is not entitled to succession to the Czarist throne. According to the views held by the Greek Orthodox Church, only the legitimate heir to the throne is recog¬ nized as the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. The Pope wants to ibe the only and supreme religious ruler of the Christian church of the world, and he prefers either the present situation or the .elec¬ tion of a man who, while' changing Russia into a monarchy again,, would fail to become the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. It is therefore not been unfriendly. A papal mission surprising that relations between Rome and Moscow as it is known, have not some time ago was sent into Russia. The policy of the Vatican in this regard has been inspired by the Jesuit order and its powerful head, liado-Trofsky. It is this order with it9 four hundred branches in every part of the world, that has prompted- the amibiguous policy '(.Concluded on page 4) '"^t-^ K Anglo-American Treaty Concerning Palestine, Signed Text .of Palestine Mandate Is In¬ corporated Into the Text of Treaty Between Eng. land and U.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. —The pro¬ visions of the Palestine Mandate of the of Nations regarding the estab¬ lishment of a Jewish National i Home given in the preamble of the treaty with Great Britain signed in London today, according to a statement issued by, the State Department today. The scope of the treaty, however, is limited to defining the rights of the American Government and its citizens in Palestine and does not touch further, upon thd subject of the Jewish National Home. The treaty has been under negotia- ans for more than two years, the de¬ lay in signing it, it is understood, being due principally to the changes in the British Government. The treaty, in its principal provisions, is similar to the treaty already con¬ cluded with France regarding Syria and Lebanon, which has entered into effect and which provides that the United States and_it» nationals shall enjoy all rights and privileges assured to the states who are members of the League of Nations. The treaty also that, subject to the provisions oi local law for the maintenance of publjc order and public morals, nations ofjth^ United States will be pcrmtttfcKo'establish and maintain educatioi^al, philanthropic and religious institutions. The saatcment authorized by thc State Department with regard to the signing of thc treaty reads as follows: , "It will be recalled that the territory of Palestine is now being administered by Great Britain, pursuant to the terms of a mandate approved by the League of Nations, .which entered into force on Sept. 29. 1923. "The treaty between the United States and Great Britain in its principal pro¬ visions is similar to thc treaty already concluded by this Government with France with respect to the mandate for Syria and the Lebanon, which has entered into effect. The Palestine mandate treaty provides that the United States and its nationals shall enjojr in the mandate territory all the rights and privi¬ leges assured to States members of the League of Nations under the terms- of the mandate. It also provides that, sul)ject to thc provisions of local law for. the maintenance of public order and public morals, nationals United States will be permitted freely to establish and maintain educational, philanthropic and religious institutions. "In the preamble to the treaty, which includes the text of the mandate itself, reference is made to the fact that the United States of America, by partici¬ pating in the war against Germany, con¬ tributed to her defeat and to the defeat of her allies in the territories transferred by them. In this connection it will le recalled that Turkey, under the Treaty of Lausanne of July 24, 1923, renounces all right and title over territories situated outside the frontiers laid down in that treaty. This renunciation included the territory covered by the Palestine man¬ date." By BERNARD A. BERGMAN (Copyright 1924 By Seven Arts Feature Syndicate) (Bernard A, Bergman was a close frieud of Gus J.

Among Secret Service Men A young and brilliant Washington Cofrespondent told me just tow weeks ago that to get a true estimate of a m^i's real character at Washington, one should inquire not in the high places, but among the Secret Service men, who have the opportunity to sec and know people as they really are and not as they want the public to believe them to be. Ahd the Secret Service men at Washing¬ ton will tell you that Gus Karger, whom tiiey knew as well as the men they were assigned to, was the same generous, whole-souled, noble, intensely human being at all times and with alf people. j Transylvania Chief Rabbi Re¬ ceived by Sir Herbert Samuel JERUSALEM, (J.

It is hard to realize that Gus Karger no more; for, as the New York fVorld pointed out in an editorial on his pass¬ ing, he was as much a part of Wash¬ ington as the White House or the Capi¬ tol building. Both ^public men and correspondents looked on him as a leader of his profession. High oflicials came to him for advice, and thc news¬ paper corps always turned to him to act as their spokesman. A Washing¬ ton correspondent for almost a quarter century, Gus Karger was the inti- friend and confidant of Presidents and other high officials, and exerted a profound influence upon public life through the counsel he was always calleH upon to render. doubtful if there was another man who knew American politics so well, or who was so penetrating and intel¬ ligent an interpreter thereof as Gus.

He dedi¬ cated his life to his profession and he served it with a passionate zeal and industry.. He loved his newspaper work with an intensity, sincerity, and honesty which is rarely observed in any profes¬ sion these days; and nothing could make him desert it. High public posts were iften offered him in recognition of his services to the nation, but he was never tempted to foresake his typewriter. He preferred serving in the background, all good and true newspapermen He was offered fanciful salaries go into Ijusiness, but to all such offers he turned a deaf ear. His newspaper his life, and he died practically harness. Could Not Tempt Him For over twenty years he was the Washington correspondent of the Cin- iti Times-Star, one of the important papers of the Middle West. Great hietropolitan dailies, recognizing his ability, could never tempt him to leave lis paper. Newspaper syndicates offered lim marvellous opportunities to write lis pointed Washington comment for lundrcds of papers, rather than for the Times-Star alone. Magazines made him tempting offers, offers which caused bany another noted correspondent to Uescrt the game for good. It not Gus Karger. "Why, I .wouldn't quit the Times-Star for any pmount of money," he once told me in xliscussing these things, "They pay,me I' good salary, morc than enough ive .on comfortably. ^ They're all my friends. ,-\Vhat do^ I "care about syndi S^, or BiggefpagcFs; or jnieazines? I don't need any more money, anyhow, and there isn't enough money in the mint to make me, desert my friends' the Times-Star." That was Gus Karger. Loyalty and friendship meant more to hini than any¬ thing else; and that is why thousands his profession and out mourned him when he made his final edition. Courageous, honest, sincere, Gus Kar¬ ger, although one of the stalwarts of the "" ^ jblican party and for many years one of its guiding minds, would 1 permit his personal feelings to color his correspondence. His was a rugged and undeviating honesty; his newspaper work was sacred to him, and he wrote unflinchinly of facts as he saw them. The men hit by his sharp and penetrating articles often became his closest friends, for there was nothing malicious or per¬ sonal in his writings, — and they were always flavored by a happy wit. A true journalist, he sought always for the truth and, without fear or .if avor, set down his findings.

The piano selections rendered by Dr. Morris Goldberg also evoked much approval. Brother Schanfarber delivered a short talk in which he stressed the importance of idealism and the pursuit of genuinely philanthropic activities in rounding out a fully noble and humanitarian career. He also paid a glowing tribute to Pres¬ ident Adolph Kraus of the 1. O. B. B., for the extraordinarily fine contribu¬ tions he has made to the Order and to Judaism in general. "No more exemplary career can be found in the entire annab of B'nai B'rith history," he concluded.

"Those who victim of accident or drcumstai should be given a chance this side of thc prison walls," he declared, "but I be¬ lieve the other class should be sent to the penitentiary and kept there for the protection of society." "In many cases,"'the prosecutor said, "influential friends come to the rescue after the crime has been committed. Their services would be of much greater value if they would practice friendship earlier and aid the person in trouble, saving him from committing the crime," he said. "In that way we can feel that thc word brotherhood amounts to something." In this connection he paid a tribute to "Uncle" Joe Schonthal, a member of the brotherhood, and told of the numbers of young men who have been released from prosecution in his care, had more Uncle Joes in the world the word friendship would be written deep in every man's heart," he said, religion is my religion and if ,he doesn't Heaven I don't want to go." short talk which opened the first winter meeting of the brotherhood.

The musical program was presented by the Jeffrey Quartet which received one ova¬ tion after another. If this first meet¬ ing of the Bryden Road Temple Brotherhood is ominous of the future, this organization is destined to become a vital force in the life of the congre¬ gation. Sec'y J. J. Davis Proposes Changes In Immigration Law In His Annual Report Secretary of Labor Advocates Quota for American Countries and Registration of Aliens SAYS LAW MUST NOT KEEP FAMILIES APART WASHINGTON, (J. T. A.)-Three ilicnt changes in immigration practice •e suggested by Secretary of Labor Davis in the annual report of the Labor Department. The first would apply to citizens of Canada, Mexico and South' American countries. The second would allow temporary in¬ case in the admission of immigrants I times of established and particularized labor shortage in thc United States and permit administrative restriction of all immigration under existing legal limits times of unemployment. The third major proposal would require the reg¬ istration and enrollment of all those ad¬ mitted to the country. , . In presenting his immigration recom¬ mendations, Mr. Davis cites statistics showing that w4iile the present law allows quota immigration into the United States of only 164,000 persons a year from countries exclusive of North. Amer- .ica non-quota provisions affecting rela¬ tives of aliens already in the United States, and foreigners aoming under professional, educational and commercial status classifications, make it possible for a much .greater number of aliens to enter the country. The present large inflow of immigrants from Canada and Mexico, unrestricted by the law so far as native citizens of those countries are concerned, is putting a premium, says Mr. Davis, on "bootlegging of.aliens." "We have taken steps toward selec-- ' tive immigration iii the act of 1924," Secretary Davis said in summarizing 1' his departmental recommendations. "We - should go tht whole way and malce sure that all applicants for admission are qualified before they leave their homes; We should make our quota law ap¬ plicable to Canada, Mexico and Central, and South America,'thus closing a.door- which now invites the activities of the smuggler of aliens. We should provide for thc admission, regardless of quota limitation, of farmers and skilled and unskilled laborers needed in the United States when labor of like kind can¬ not be found unemployed in this country, and when no strike, or lockout exists (Is in the industry which needs such labor. To balance this the Pres¬ ident should be given power to prohibit or further limit immigration whenever unemployment in this country' makes such suspension desirable. We should proceed to humanize our immigration laws wherever that is pos¬ sible. Our laws should not operate keep members of families apart. Fur¬ ther, we need a complete revision and codification of our naturalization laws. To do this I would provide for the an¬ nual enrollment of our alien population and through this enrollment would pro¬ vide means of educating every alien in American customs, our language, our laws and our institutions. It is true that this enrollment plan would enable' us to know the alien who is here in violation of our laws. We sihouttd know them. This plan is probably the only available means of putting an end to the scandalous bootlegging of aliens through our seaports and over our borders." WASHINGTON, (J. T. A.) —In his message to Congress, President Coolidge touching upon the question of immigra¬ tion, stated: "I should like to see the administrative features of this law ren¬ dered a little more humane for the pur¬ pose of permitting those already here a greater latitude in securing admission of members of their own families. But I believe this law in principle is nec¬ essary and sound and destined to in¬ crease greatly tlie public welfare. We must maintain our own economic posi¬ tion, we must defend our own_ national itegrity. Louis Feibei to Go to Florida in Interests of Local Clicats of Feibd Bros. Retdty Co. Louis' A.

The fact that bearers of best names America will surround the Grand Duchess upon her arrival and will, for a handshake, lend their influence - and money to aid a dangerous political scheme is considered as a manifesta¬ tion of the ignorance and light-heart- ¦ edness which Americans display in deal¬ ing with European political affairs. - The American public docs not seem to be aware of the fact that the claim of the Grand Duke Cyril to the Russian throne is not only_ disputed by the Grand Duke Nikolavitch, but that the num¬ ber of his followers is extremely limited.

"The method of preservation used for The Lady in Red was common prior to the Civil War, when custom-made caskets, shaped to the body, were ordered as one would order a dress. The glass that sealed the coffin was placed over the body, and alcohol was poured inside until it was level full, and then sealed with a cast iron tip. When the back hoe machine hit the coffin, alcohol spilled from the casket and spots of the liquid were seen on the folds of the woman's dress."
No one knows how or why The Lady in Red was buried underneath the deep Delta silt and heavy dirt that make up Egypt Plantation's rich fields.Rumors have been rampant for years that her body may have fallen off a wagon on its way to be buried, that it had been lost in a flood, or that it had washed ashore after a steamboat that was transporting her body for burial was grounded after an accident. Later, the young woman's remains were placed in a grave in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Lexington, Mississippi, where they were marked with a small headstone that identifies the mystery woman simply as "The Lady in Red." In more recent years, a few people have claimed publicly and privately to either know or to be related to The Lady in Red. Certainly she must be someone's long lost ancestor, but her true identify remains a mystery still.
Recently, a distant cousin of mine, Arthur Pickett, who grew up in that area of Holmes County, told me he had written a poem in tribute to the unknown, but not forgotten, Lady in Red. I asked to read it, and I subsequently obtained permission from Arthur to reprint his work here today. So, with Arthur's permission, it is with pleasure that I introduce his beautiful and poignant poem.
The Lady in Red, A Poem
One day workmen came to rake the earth
With backhoe; it was then they found her berth
As she patiently waited rebirth;
But not one knew her life's worth.
No marker was found to name her face;
None to tell when she went to grace.
Was a eulogy before God to make her case?
Was there a new star to mark her place?
From that time-worn home taken she was
By a coroner, an undertaker, and his entourage
Taken by them with a limosine'd barge
East to the Lexington hills in a wooden cooperage
Mourn no more for her oh ye mortal
For now she has a new heavenly portal
Amongst pauper graves with no body corporal
Given name by poets knowledgeable.
She is now known as The Lady in Red
No more is she unknown and dead
Perhaps someone, somewhere will be led
To give her an ancestral name, instead.
Rest in Peace, My Lady, you will never leave us
For yes, we have seen that new star in Cygnus.

Florida State enters a new era in 2010 with legendary head coach Bobby Bowden departing and Jimbo Fisher taking over the reigns. FSU fans are hungry for a return to national prominence after several disappointing seasons.
To get a better look at the Seminoles, I contacted Garnet and Great for their take on FSU's upcoming season.
Q: How smooth has the transition been from Bobby Bowden to Jimbo Fisher?
A: Bumpy at first, now going surprisingly smooth, a far cry from the loud and divided fan factions at the end of last season. The Bowden loyalists, who believed the legendary coach deserved at least one more year at the helm, seem to have moved on.
FSU's fan base now appears to be solidly behind Jimbo Fisher, his new coaching staff and revamped system -- covering everything from nutrition and weight training to academic monitoring and sports psychologists -- that closely mirrors Nick Saban's process for success.
Q: Was Christian Ponder's injury a blessing in disguise last year?
A: It appears so. Ponder has hinted that he would've been in the 2010 draft had he stayed healthy and maintained his impressive offensive stats. The '09 injury caused him to rethink the draft as he healed.
So Ponder enters his senior year as a 100% healthy QB who's probably stronger and smarter, knowing when not to tuck and run, playing behind one of the best O-lines in the country.
A second benefit of Ponder's injury was E.J. Manuel evolving from a green backup to a tried and trusted quantity at QB. After Ponder went down, E.J. won three out of the four games he started, losing only to arch-rival Florida.
Q: The Seminoles have steadily improved their rush game from a low of 94 yards per game in 2004 to 179 in 2008 and 150 in 2009. Is this more a product of better running backs or better offensive line play?
A: Both. O-Line Coach, and Vietnam Marine vet, Rick Trickett has molded his youngsters (three '08 starters were freshmen) into a lean 'n mean unit.
Meanwhile, recruiting brought in a fleet of running backs -- mainly three-star guys who've proved at least as capable as some four and five-star RBs that suited up for the 'Noles during the decade.
This season four backs with game experience will fight for the starting job under new RB coach Eddie Gans, a well-traveled motivator who developed NFL top 5 draft picks Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown.
Add to the mix newcomer Debrale Smiley, a bruising big back who had one impressive season of JC ball.
Q: Florida State has always had dazzling athleticism at the skill positions. Who are the guys that need to step up this year?
A: On offense, 'Nole fans are hoping WR Jarmon Fortson shifts gears from good to great. The 6'3" junior has a reputation for making the spectacular catch, often followed by dropping an easy one. Fortson is a devastating blocker and has amazing potential. In fact, if he can put it all together this season, he might get a green light from NFL teams to leave for the 2011 draft. [Updated: Fortson has been dismissed from the team http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/13123/fsu-dismisses-wr-jarmon-fortson]
The defensive player most overdue for a big year is DE Markus White. He's a former JUCO star who once terrorized QBs but has been slow to deliver in two seasons at FSU. A new defensive staff and scheme should maximize White's abilities and put the teeth back in the 'Noles pass rush.
Q: Will CB Greg Reid be used on offense and in what capacity?
A: No one knows for sure, except Jimbo Fisher and his offensive coordinator. But Fisher has said, "we'll have a plan" for using Reid. And he threatened as much during ACC media days -- though that may have been more to psych opposing D-coordinators.
My guess is that we see Reid on an occasional gadget play, and probably as a decoy. Any shrewd D-coordinator would probably be distracted by Reid's lining up on offense and try to dial up adjustments.
Perhaps a better bet is true freshman CB Lamarcus Joyner doing double duty. Fisher has all but promised that the 5-star recruit will see action on the offensive side of the ball.
Q: I read new DC Mark Stoops is bringing in a new zone scheme. What are the major changes we will see after years under Mickey Andrews?
A: A more diverse scheme that mixes man and zone coverage, while keeping the offense off-balance with far less predictability than Coach Andrews' mostly-man look.
Stoops also has a reputation for developing players, especially DBs, the weakest link in the 'Noles uncharacteristically poor D in 2009.
Q: The 'Noles always recruit well. Who are the top freshman that could see significant playing time this year?
A: Fortunately, FSU has enough experience on the roster so that only one true freshman should see significant playing time. That would be LB Jeff Luc, a 5-star man-child who enrolled early and earned a second-string spot during spring practice.
Other true freshmen who will probably see the field in 2010 include DE Bjorn Werner, LB Christian Jones, and aforementioned CB Lamarcus Joyner.
Three JC transfers could become big contributors. They're fullback/H-Back Debrale Smiley and DT Amp McCloud, two local guys (from nearby Thomasville, GA), who graduated from a Mississippi Community College.
Another junior college addition might be Glen Stanley, a speedy pass rusher who committed to Southern Cal in February, but got a recent release from the Trojans. I say, "might" because Stanley still must clear the academic hurdle of being accepted at Florida State.
Q: FSU finished in the AP Top 5 for 14 straight seasons until 2000. What will it take for FSU to get back to the nation's elite?
A: The obvious answer is to win ten games or more -- a tall order this year with non-conference games against Oklahoma, Florida and BYU. Specifically, though, earning that elusive elite status will depend largely on winning in the sunshine state.
Beating the Gators and Canes on a regular basis will ensure a Top Ten finish, as long as FSU takes care of business in the ACC.
We'll also add beating South Florida. The 'Noles tripped in a first-ever meeting with the Bulls last year, but have a chance for payback in 2012 when they travel to Tampa.
Q: FSU has lost 6 in a row to in-state rival Florida. What will it take for the Seminoles to get this series more competitive?
A: Recapturing the cachet of a top program, the cool factor, and one that top high school playmakers want to sign with. I believe FSU is about halfway back to what it was in the dynasty days of the 90s.
Now with complete control of the program, Jimbo Fisher is fully implementing a process that's state-of-the-art for today's elite teams. New coaches have been added who are strong recruiters and bring fresh ideas to energize. All of these are steps back to parity with that team that FSU fans have always wanted to beat most.
Q: Describe a successful season this year. Describe a disappointing one.
A: Ten or eleven wins, which includes W's over Florida and Miami. A marginally successful season would be 10 or 11 wins and being edged by the gators. That would at least demonstrate progress.
A disappointing season? Another 7 - 6 record. FSU faithful have been left with a 7 - 6 hangover three of the last four seasons. Yet another of those -- especially with the heady expectations of new coaches, a potential Heisman QB and experienced OL -- would be too much to take.
Q: What is your prediction for the season
A: I'm chugging the Garnet & Gold Kool-Aid: 10 - 2, plus a bowl win.
My Take on FSU…
The days are gone when FSU by walking onto the field would have an opponent intimidated and already beaten in the ACC.
After suffering through inconsistency at the position, Christian Ponder finally gives FSU a threat at the QB position something they have not had since Chris Weinke drove a mini van around Tallahassee.
The offensive line has taken its lumps, but has experience now so this unit should be a strength.
I am befuddled at how bad their defense was last year. Mickey Andrews always had a top-notch group so it must have been the players. The lack of elite talent is clearly seen at defensive end where the 'Noles used to have a pass rushing threat every season.
Until FSU can recruit better on this side of the ball I expect new DC Mark Stoops to struggle.
The schedule to win the Atlantic sets up nicely having BC and Clemson at home.
This is a big reason why I have Fisher going to an ACC Championship Game in his first season
9-3, 1st in Atlantic Division
Thanks again to Garnet and Great for their insight.

There appears to be a growing number crazy kiwi blokes out there getting into paddock hacking. But what exactly is this paddock hacking all about? Well, it involves taking an old crapper car, getting it running again, stripping it down, then racing it like it's stolen through paddocks and various unchecked terrain until it's completely busted. Sounds like fun right? Well plenty of us seem to think so and that's why we are the first nation in the world to have a TV show dedicated to paddock hacks.
While it is just a pilot at this stage, the first trailer for Paddock Hacks has been revealed online and it's already gathering global interest. At this stage much is unknown about the show, like the racing format and regulations but also how exactly thrashing old japanese cars through paddocks can make good viewing for a whole TV season. But it can't be any worse than Shortland Street and for now, the preview trailer is pretty awesome and somehow makes you proud to be a kiwi.
Check out the teaser video below and be sure to let us know your thoughts on paddock hacking and this new TV Show in the comments section.

Not only did the PlayStation 4 outsell the Xbox One in its first weekend by about 100000 units in the UK, it completely obliterated the Wii U.
The numbers are even bleaker for Nintendo - its year of Wii U sales have now been trounced in a weekend by both next-gen machines. More people bought a PS4 and a copy of Knack over the weekend than bought a Wii U at any point over the past year and new release Super Mario 3D World.
If not even a Mario game can save a Nintendo console, you know something's up. People, Nintendo is in deep, deep trouble.

Tuesday, April 29th
Cor Jesu Chapel
Join us for the celebration of the Eucharist on the Feast of Saint Catherine of Siena on Monday, April 29th at the noon mass. The legacy of this great woman is part of our Dominican Heritage at Barry University.
Caterina Benincasa was a Lay Dominican of 14th century Italy. She was called by God out of a life of contemplative seclusion in her home to serve the poor. She joined the "Mantellate" a Lay Dominican organization in her native Siena. She became a tireless advocate for peace between the powerful in Italy and went as far as convincing the Pope (who had left to Avignon) to return to Rome and bring peace. She died in Rome on April 29th, 1380 at the age of thirty three. She was declared a saint in 1461 and raised to Doctor of the Church in 1970.

The Tigers' new man in the middle, a former Shrine Bowl MVP, has led a resurgence for a unit that struggled to stop opponents early on this season.
The new man in the middle at Clemson is also the model by which the team's coaches would like to see all their players become.
While the defense had shown signs of improvement throughout the season, the biggest surge coincided with increased playing time for redshirt junior middle linebacker Spencer Shuey.
"He has worked incredibly hard and is kind of the model you want all your guys to be," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "He's very low maintenance and doesn't ask for anything, but gives you a lot so he gets a lot of respect from all his teammates not for what he says, but for what he does."
The 6-foot-3, 250-pound former Shrine Bowl defensive MVP has played like a Tasmanian devil from sideline to sideline since being inserted into the starting lineup the past four games. The first four starts of his career have resulted in 44 tackles, including four for loss, and that's despite playing only 26 snaps in Saturday's blowout win over Maryland.
He registered 15, 10 and 12 tackles in his first three starts, with the 37 tying the most by a Tiger over a three-game span since 2006. His 15 tackles in his first start against Virginia Tech are the highest on the team this season and Shuey has averaged 45 snaps per game since starting.
"It's definitely exciting to be able to take on a larger role, but I think our improvement is overall being more comfortable with the system and understanding what they're asking of us as far as the game plans go," said Shuey when asked about his individual impact. "I think that's the main reason there's been so much improvement on the defense.
"We always felt like we were improving, and could see it on film that the mistakes we were making were definitely correctable. We knew once everybody got a little more comfortable in the system it would start to show up in the stats."
Clemson's defense was the target of warranted criticism early in the season, but has slowly rounded into a stronger unit. The Tigers have held four consecutive opponents to less than 20 points (an average of 15 per game) while allowing 304 yards per outing. After surrendering 19 runs of 20 yards or more the first six games, Clemson has given up just two in the past four.
Shuey's introduction into a larger role came during the Oct. 6 win over Georgia Tech. With the Tigers clinging to a seven-point lead with 10:29 remaining, Shuey tackled tailback Orwin Smith in the end zone for a safety to put his team up two scores and shift the game's momentum. It was his first career tackle for loss and helped earn him the chance to start the following week.
Shuey had combined to play 14 snaps the previous two games.
"You've got to give him great credit because he got an opportunity to go in during that Georgia Tech game and really just outplayed the other guys to where he warranted an opportunity to start, and he's played lights-out ever since," coach Dabo Swinney said. "It's just fun to see a guy that's worked really hard have great success. He's playing fast and with a ton of confidence. He's a fourth-year guy who is incredibly knowledgeable and he's really developed into an excellent leader for us.
"The guys believe in him and he brings a very tangible toughness to our defense. He's done a great job of running the show and communicating out there every single play. I think it's making Stephone (Anthony) better and really created a very good situation for us at linebacker where we've got some good players."
It was Anthony who started the first six games in the middle before being replaced by Shuey, and although Anthony remains the leading tackler with 74, it's only six more than Shuey, who has started three fewer games.
Anthony arrived along with fellow sophomore Tony Steward as two of the most sought-after blue-chip linebackers in the nation and with veteran talents like Jonathan Willard still on board, Shuey had to play a difficult waiting game while wondering if he'd ever fully get a shot to prove his worth.
"I didn't know whether or not I'd get the chance, I just knew that if it came I'd be ready for it," Shuey said. "I've tried to prepare the same every week, even those weeks I got five snaps and nine snaps I was ready to go every play. When I finally got my opportunity I was able to step up and show they could trust me to make plays.
"It's definitely tough, some days tougher than others, where you feel like you might never get a chance, but those other guys are great players and there are some things you can't control. I just tried not to worry about that and just focus on me and be the best I could be."

In honor of those babies, in memory of my son Graham and in honor of my son Will, I'm sharing my story here.
I went to work on May 18, 2010 just like on any other day. I was six months pregnant with twin boys (they were spontaneous) and had been seeing a maternal-fetal specialist because there was a growing discrepancy in the size of their amniotic sacs, plus Graham wasn't growing as quickly as he should. We never found out a reason for this; twin-to-twin transfusion was ruled out. There wasn't anything the doctors could do other than monitor them closely.
At my weekly specialist appointment at noon that day, I had an ultrasound as usual. I figured JB and I would go out to lunch afterward as we always did. Instead, when it was over, the specialist sat us down and told us that the blood flow to the brain of our larger baby (this was Will) was slowing down. He would be in trouble if he wasn't delivered soon. JB and I were speechless as the specialist told us we needed to go to the hospital right then and get prepared for delivery that afternoon. I was at 28 weeks and four days.
JB and I were naive. We'd always known the NICU was a possibility with twins, but we assumed we'd be there a few weeks at most, easy-peasy, and the boys would go home. Anything worse was just the kind of thing that happened to other people.
I had nothing but the clothes on my back and my purse when we checked in at the hospital. Our families rushed up there, and luckily they brought cameras!
|Mr. Will and his nurse, the day after he was born
In the incubator a few feet away, Will was fighting his own battles. He, too, had trouble breathing and was on oxygen for weeks. He had a heart murmur that sounded, according to the pediatric cardiologist, like a washing machine. He had a Level 4 brain hemmorhage (the highest possible on a scale of 1 to 4) on the right side of his brain which had occurred sometime in utero and that we were told could cause anything from mild ADHD to severe developmental delays. His eyes had fragile vessels that had to be checked every few days to make sure they hadn't burst. To top it all off, about two weeks after he was born he contracted a staph infection - a serious problem for a preemie. Because of all the needle sticks he required (thanks to increased medication to fight the staph) the nurses began running out of places to stick him and he underwent surgery to insert a PICC line in his chest that remained for the duration of his NICU stay.
I say all of this not to complain or to list grievances, but to illustrate the long, hard road faced by preemies. We met and befriended parents whose babies faced every conceivable hurdle, from perforated bowels to brain swelling.
Will spent 71 days in the NICU before he was allowed to come home. Since then, he's had visits with the cardiologist, neurologist, orthopedic pediatrician, optometrist and pulmonologist, in addition to his regular pediatrician. Through it all, he's been strong-willed and tenacious. He's passed all of his appointments so far with flying colors. He's been developing normally for his adjusted age.
|Will in October, age 5 months

A tournament rivalry will be renewed tonight when the Jackson High School girls soccer team travels to Revere High School to take on Walsh Jesuit
A tournament rivalry will be renewed tonight when the Jackson High School girls soccer team travels to Revere High School to take on Walsh Jesuit at 7 p.m. in a regional semifinal game.
The Polar Bears and Warriors know this scenario well.
The teams met in the regional tournament each year from 2006 to 2009. Walsh Jesuit won three of those four games.
"This has played out numerous times during the regular season and tournament over the years," Jackson head coach Frank Gagliardi said. "We haven't been able to come out on top many times against them over the years. We plan to do our best, though. The key for us is going to be coming in with the correct mentality and having the right mindset."
The Polar Bears have an idea of what they will be in for tonight. Jackson played Walsh on Sept. 21. The Warriors won 4-0.
This isn't the same Jackson team that Walsh played then, said Gagliardi.
"I think we are a more consistent team now," he said. "I think at the time we played them, we were a decent team. I don't think we had come across a team like them when we played them in September. I think we are a better team now.
"We have tightened things up defensively and I think offensively we are a more dangerous team then we were then."
Jackson comes into the game playing well. The Polar Bears did not allow a goal in the district tournament and outscored their three opponents 15-0. It has been a true team effort, Gagliardi said.
"I think when you look at us offensively, Caitlyn Patton and Rachel Bender are our leading goal scorers," he said. "We have a pretty well rounded team though. Lately, we have also gotten two goals from defenders. Maddy Tletski and Mackenzie Cherniuk have been able to contribute goals for us. Overall, we just do our best to spread the ball around."
Walsh also has yet to allow a goal in tournament play this year. Jackson knows what it is going to take to win tonight's game.
"Again, we haven't faced anyone like Walsh so far in the tournament," Gagliardi said. "We have to try to take some things away. I think elevating our defensive execution will be a big key. That is something we have been working on, and something we have been doing better at.
"We've been working hard on not giving up the occasional corner kicks, and we've done a good job tightening that up. I think we were softer defensively earlier in the season than we are now."
