Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
I have a Mobile Substrate related issue. After my iPad fall off from bed, I discovered that the volume keys stopped working. I didn't pay any attention since it was working fine at that time. Until I rebooted the device because Transmission stopped working, I installed Volume Keys Disable tweak in Cydia in order to get rid of display of volume icon. Unfortunately, I later discovered that Mobile Substrate has this volume up disabling feature and therefore the tweak doesn't work.
Is there any way to configure or edit the hex code for the particular file to enable the Mobile Substrate under the disable mode so that it can be enabled during the reboot when the volume up button is pressing down (or jammed)? I have 5.1.1.
Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
[start false info]The volume key "safe mode" for Mobil substrate I believe it to hold both volume keys when booting device Nd device will boot into safe mode.[\end false info]
If you are booting the phone, and it doesn't boot into safe mode then you have nothing to worry about. However you should set up an activator "listener" so that you can put your phone into safe mode should the need arise.
The only thing that you don't have going for you is the initial "boot to safe" method, but that is really only useful if you install a tweak that puts you into a constant resorting state, which is extremely rare. Also if you have ssh installed you can ash into your Device an remove the offending tweak....
But to answer your question (or not technically) I don't know if you can modify the mobile substrate code! But even if you could it is not recommended at all!!! That is the entire safety net for your $500+ jailbroken toy!!

Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
To be honest I'm not entirely clear on what you're asking. Are you stuck in Safe Mode when rebooting right now and trying to get out of it, or do you need to come up with a way to enter Safe Mode? Or is it something else entirely?
(The default way, by the by, is to hold the volume Up key while booting.)

I understand the situation clearly now.
You volume up key is in a constant stat of being pressed. So when you power up you aren't in safe mode, you just have mobile substrate disabled...
I couldn't find a way to get mobile substrate re enabled without restarting....
I'll do some research because I find this interesting!!!
What if you downgraded mobile substrate? To one that did not have this feature???

Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
Hi everybody, I have the exact same problem and could not find any solution. Due to this mobilesubstrate safe feature, the volume buttons disable tweak does not work anymore as soon as you restart the iPad...
Did someone find a solution to this? I spent many hours on the web, reading forums etc. and I am a bit desesperate to ever solve this problem.
Thank you all by advance for your help!
Edit, I forgot to mention that I already tried to downgrade mobilesubstrate, and the volume disable app could not work with this older version and automatically updated the mobilesubstrate stuff. Maybe there is more to investigate here, but being quite novice I have to admit I am now completely stuck...

Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
You need to set both "Mobile Substrate" and "Substrate Safe Mode" in Cydia to ignore the updates. To do this, go to the corresponding tweaks page in Cydia and tap "Change Package Settings". Turn the "Ignore Upgrades" on and Cydia will ignore the updates for this package from now on. However, based on my experience, you still need to replace the "Mobile Substrate" and "Substrate Safe Mode" to the old version every time iPad is rebooted. Otherwise, the tweaks would still be disabled.
The attached zip file contains the mobile substrate version which works for me so far. Note that you need to use iFile to install these files. Also, you need to install both packages (Mobile Substrate and Substrate Safe Mode). Otherwise, it won't work.
As I mentioned earlier, you need to reinstall/replace these packages every time you rebooted the device. After the replace, you need to respring the device in order to get it working. Make sure to respring the device instead of rebooting it. I recommend to use SBSettings to help you to respring the device.
Edit: By the way, for us iPad owners whose volume keys were stuck, you should enable the Assistive Touch under Settings -> Accessibility. By enabling this feature, there will always be a white circle on the screen. Tap it and under Device sub-menu, it will help you to execute the device functions without press any physical buttons on the device, including the volume up/down. Even better, if the volume icon is stuck on the screen because of the stuck volume keys, tap the volume up or volume down button will make the icon disappear.

Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
I actually find your "by the way" even a more convenient solution. I think I will discard the other possibility because I'm not confortable enough with playing with SBS etc. (moreover, I cannot install the mobilesubstrate stuff with iFile... I'm probably doing something wrong).
Anyway, I could fix the problem usine this accessibility option. Once again, thank you.
Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
IM unsure as to why mobile substrate would have to be reinstalled upon each boot of the device. it shouldnt be that way.
once you download that zip with both mobile substrate and mobile substrate safe mode (although im not sure why the safe mode download, i thought that crashing to safe mode was part of mobile substrate, not a different package, ANYWAYS) you will need to get it onto you ipad, via ifunbox, or ssh.
then you need to locate where you moved it on your device. then all you need to do is select the ".deb" package for mobile substrate in ifile, and it will give you an install option. youll see a bunch of words then a "process ended with result 0" and you will be good. then install the safemode the same way. then go to cydia and go to settings, packages, find both mobile substrate and mobilesubstratesafemode and in thier respective pages, select "change package settings" and hide updates

Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
Sounds Like you aren't on the right version.... Check cydia and see which version of substrate you have installed
Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
Due to the new passcode vulnerabilities found could someone look into posting a updated version of mobilesubstrate with the volumeup feature disabled for iOS6.x?
I found a way to bypass those vulnerabilities completely but with the volume up feature those that i found won't have any affect if the device does not stay in a jailbroken state.
The last thing i want to see people doing is start to use tweaks like the disableEmergency
See my comments below this techcrunch article for details.
Thank you kind regards,

Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
I don't know whether this is a feature for iOS 6 or my volume button is loosen up, but this is a trick I've found after the jailbreak of iOS 6.
The moment I restarted after jailbroke the device, I installed Mobile Substrate. All went well until I restarted the device after installed SBSettings. I tried to reinstall the Mobile Substrate with no hope of fixing the issue. However, I was surprised that the problem is solved by this simple reinstallation.
Please let me know if this trick helps. One thing to note is that I tried to pull the volume button out a little before the reinstall but with no difference from the physical point of view. Maybe I really pulled the button out a bit

Robby, are you saying that you volume up button is no longer stuck? That's great news does it work at all, or just not stuck in an "always being pushed state"

Re: Disable Mobile Substrate volume up feature
Thank you!
This is the exact same problem i was having. My volume UP button intermittently sticks and it was making mobile substrate load as disabled. I'll load the .zip file and get it fixed once i get back home to my desktop. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing the fix!

To The Editor,
The debates between the candidates for U.S. Senate are taking on a deceptive flavor in the instance of KBYU and KSL, both of which have refused to allow constitutionalist Scott Bradley to participate. When we first made calls to KBYU, they simply said no, because did not have a high enough percentage in the polls. Which polls? Last time I checked he had 51 percent on the KSL polls. (They have him on their polls, but have not decided to have him in the debates.) When later calls have been made we have been told the debates have already taken place and taped for later viewing. When we have asked to speak to someone in the events dept. they tell us the debate is scheduled for October 12th. My question: If he paid his dues to be on the ballot with the other candidates, is it not fair to him to be allowed to participate in these two debates? Is it not fair to allow the citizens of Utah to hear what he has to say on the issues so they can decide which candidate fills the criteria best when it comes to honest, good and wise? KBYU's event department now says they have a policy which has been in place for 20 years that exempts third party candidates from participating! This is an outrage, it is past time to change this unfair policy! I would think that any American, whether Democrat, Libertarian, Republican, Whig, Constitution Party, or unaffiliated would object to this! If so, write your own letters or call and express your views: KBYU (800) 298-5398 / (801) 422-8450 and KSL (801) 575-5555, email: email@example.com.

Last season's beaten finalists Ulster start their Heineken Cup campaign against Castres at Ravenhill on Friday.
Last season's beaten finalists Ulster start their Heineken Cup campaign against Castres at Ravenhill on Friday.
Ulster are top of the Pro12 standings and unbeaten in their opening five games of the season. The Ulstermen have won their last 11 games at home in the Heineken Cup.
In stark contrast, Castres, consistent performers in the Top 14, have one of the worst away records in the tournament having won just won of their last 17 games on the road.
In team news, loose forward Iain Henderson will make his home debut for Ulster in the Pool 4 opener. Henderson replaces the injured Nick Williams, who has failed to recover from a rib injury picked up in the 25-0 win over Connacht on Friday.
Henderson will make his fourth appearance for the province, his first in the Heineken Cup. It follows Wednesday's news that the 20-year-old has signed his first full contract, keeping him at the club until June 2015.
Henderson's inclusion at blindside flanker will mean Stephen Ferris switches to the back of the scrum. The rest of the team is unchanged from the clinical victory over Connacht.
The only change on the bench will see Ruan Pienaar, who returned from Rugby Championship duty with South Africa earlier in the week, named in place of Michael Heaney.
After missing most of last season with an Achilles tendon injury, full-back Jared Payne will also make his European bow.
"I can't wait. I've been watching games at Ravenhill since I was a kid and I'm really looking forward to pulling on the white jersey and experiencing the atmosphere as a player," said Henderson.
"My first aim for the season was to be involved in a few PRO12 games but with the few injuries that we have in the back row, I've been given an opportunity and I have to try and grab it with both hands.
"Castres are a very physical team but they also throw the ball wide and have an expansive kicking game. That should make for a tough, but entertaining game. We'll have to work really hard to nullify their threats."
Castres currently occupy sixth position in the Top 14 having beaten Clermont Auvergne at the weekend, and with Ulster undefeated in the PRO12, it promises to be a tantalising clash.
The teams:
Ulster: 15 Jared Payne, 14 Tommy Bowe, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Paddy Wallace, 11 Andrew Trimble, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Paul Marshall, 8 Stephen Ferris, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Iain Henderson, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johan Muller (c), 3 John Afoa, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Rob Herring, 17 Callum Black, 18 Adam Macklin, 19 Lewis Stevenson, 20 Mike McComish, 21 Ruan Pienaar, 22 Luke Marshall, 23 Craig Gilroy.
Castres: 15 Romain Teulet, 14 Marcel Garvey, 13 Seremaia Bai, 12 Daniel Kirkpatrick, 11 Marc Andreu, 10 Pierre Bernard, 9 Thierry Lacrampe, 8 Pedrie Wannenburg, 7 Yannick Caballero, 6 Piula Faasalele, 5 Rodrigo Capo Ortega, 4 Matthias Rolland, 3 Michaël Coetzee, 2 Mathieu Bonello, 1 Yannick Forestier.
Replacements: 16 Marc-Antoine Rallier, 17 Grégory Marmoiton, 18 Mihaïta Lazar, 19 Iosefa Tekori, 20 Antonie Claassen, 21 Rory Kockott, 22 Paul Bonnefond, 23 Thomas Sanchou.
Date: Friday, October 12

Posted on 07/03/2013 5:26:00 PM PDT by drewhEdited on 07/03/2013 5:27:33 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Sexy spook Anna Chapman, busted in the summer of 2010 as part of a sleeper cell of Russian agents, proposed to fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden on Twitter.
Snowden, who revealed the secret NSA surveillance program PRISM, has been stuck in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport since June 23, after fleeing his Hong Kong hiding place. He has been caught in legal limbo after being stripped of his US passport and has sought asylum wth 21 countries.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
How do we know that's not a fake Twitter account?
OK, now defecting has just become tempting. :)
Will penicillin clear up a defection?
I think I've been leaking. Does that qualify for a night time examination?
Momma Mia! I knew that she would show up at some point!
It will relieve the stinging.
I'd like to fill her cabinet. ;D
My cat has better developed arms...
LOL I guess that's further proof.
Mr. Cat. Oh, Mr. Cat—that lady—she, that lady makes me.....
That lady makes me feel funny. You know. Down there.
Down in my 'danger zone.' Oh!
What do I do? Am I going to hurt myself??
Kaiyabunga...I'd bet she trapped many.
Well please don't post a pic of your cat:)
That would fix his problems all in one nice package.
Well, a boat captain could marry them in the transit zone, I suppose.
Not many people know WHY the FBI decided to bust her particular spy network —cuz she'd been sent to get close to and seduce a VERY important US official.
Who was and is a FEMALE.
And I heard her target was... (drum roll)...HILLARY CLINTON...!
And I heard she was making GREAT progress, working her way up to her.
Certainly better looking than Valarie Jarrett...
You're looking at her ARMS?
A fitting pair: A SnowJob and a BlowJob!
Now, that is what I call "Putin on the Ritz"
Yes...I need therapy. She could help get me back on track.;-)
She has arms?
This is cruel and unusual. Putin probably said 'I'm sending Anna after you' and Snowden was ha ha ha.... and then....
'Cuz you know he's getting 100 txts/hr from his girlfriend back in the US.
If Snowden passes on this there will be dozens of young IT guys at NSA considering becoming new whistle blowers...lol
LOL!...That's gross.
That's a lot of catnip!
An obvious "honey trap"...send me in, coach!
He's blue,
He doesn't know where to go,
I think he needs to work on the dressing up like a million dollar trooper and lookin' like Gary Cooper, though. But hey, if she likes the idea I say go for it, worse things could happen to him any time now.
Nyet Guilty!
With all of those picture of her with a weapon, she could be included in the site called "Girls with Weapons".
Russian women I am told are some of the most beautiful in the world. If Snowden just stays in Russia, he may find the woman of his dreams. And many do know English.
Is she auditioning for the next James Bond movie?
Mad Max the first Free Republic poet laureate! Excellent!
Russia is better than anywhere else he might go other than maybe Iceland. If the condition to stay is he stops any more leaking and she's serious, take the offer and learn Russian.
My cat has better developed arms...
Oh yeah, she does have arms. Didn't catch that the first time I looked at the picture, thanks for pointing that out.
funny thing is Russia is more capitalistic then we.....
Snowden's previous girlfriend was a pole dancing champ. He might give Laz a run for his money.
That's gonna start a whole bunch of new leaks.

Overall the flares were nice. Went on relatively smoothly. However, on the 2015 Tundra model I bought them for they said I "might" have to remove the mud flaps and there was no "might" as they MUST be removed. Also, some of the wording on the instructions was a bit unclear like reusing existing hardware but you couldn't. Also front fender flares holes did not line up exactly on all the holes...took some alterations. All in all it is a decent product.

More on Dany Heatley / Somebody Make This Stop
Jonathan Willis
July 11 2009 01:31PM
Dan Barnes' article in the Edmonton Journal this morning gives us yet another depressing update/non-update on the Dany Heatley situation.
According to Barnes' source, the Oilers have no deadline for a resolution to the Heatley situation, and they haven't given a deadline to the Ottawa Senators or Dany Heatley, either. According to Barnes, Heatley's camp wants at least two other options, and while Murray is negotiating with two other NHL teams there's no particular reason for those teams to be in much of a hurry to acquire the Senators forward.
Meanwhile, Heatley himself remains ensconced in his summer home (see video above), comfortably removed from both the situation and the beating his reputation is taking in the media.
Other than that, the situation remains at a standstill, as do the Oilers. In fact, if the season started tomorrow the only roster changes to the team would be swapping out Ales Kotalik, Kyle Brodziak, and Dwayne Roloson while adding Nikolai Khabibulin - not the sort of forward movement fans were expecting from G.M. Steve Tambellini.
There haven't even been much in the way of rumours of other movement, beyond an ill-advised attempt to overpay Senators fourth-liner (and Heatley critic) Chris Neil on a multi-year contract.
Last season, Steve Tambellini made some good moves (notably the Erik Cole trade), but for much of the season stood pat evaluating while the Oilers struggled. He's gotten largely a free pass for that; after all, it wasn't clear if he, Lowe, or Daryl Katz were in control of ths situation. He doesn't deserve and he certainly won't get a similar free pass if he fails to make substantial moves this summer. Hopefully, the situation won't come to that.
I wish we would move on.
I would think if Tambo found a better option he would move on. I dont think there is a better option for a scorer out there right now.
This situation is as frustating as turning left on 109 st off 107 ave......GO ALREADY!!
July 11 2009, 01:56PM
Heatley must think the Oilers organization is run by a bunch of idiots. Who else would give him this much leash? He's obviously just waiting for an offer from someone else....anyone else. He doesn't want to be here, but he still wants to leave himself the option in case nobody else wants all the baggage he brings. I say we finally cut the cord with this guy and let him rot.
Who are the other two teams, or is Murray just saying that. And I think we sould just step away from Heatly, unless we can get him in the next 48 hours. Otherwise let's try and fill other holes, and maybe see what other people can do on the top line.
July 11 2009, 02:00PM
a) why should Heatley care about any of this crap? sure, the fans pay his salary but the fans seem to have this sour-poopy-diaper tone all the time about how this needs to get resolved ASAP for their own sanity.
b) as we all know, the Oilers have built an atrocious roster of overpaid players due to numerous reasons (fan pressure, lacking pull in free agency, geography, demographics, Pronger trade, etc, etc). buying themselves out of it isnt going to happen this off-season. theyre a fringe playoff team at best even with Heatley. which leads to them building a core. whats left in the UFA pool that can help build your "core" as opposed to just putting in inconsistent plug-in players (Kotalik) who leach dollars over a term? not much. especially with the cap/contract situation of the Oilers.
c) sticking with Heatley (as opposed to some fans wanting to "move on") is about building a "core" of players. if it doesnt happen, what else are they going to chase through trade/UFA? Souray for a second-liner and a D-man? eh.
Hemsky right now is their only "core" forward. Gagner is not even close to ready for first line minutes and Horcoff is an offensive "passenger" that Hemsky feeds perfect PP passes to for whiffed/shanked one-timers.
if they dont get someone to play with Hemsky this off-season that is a Legit first liner, its one more year of his gravy deal down the toilet (whats that say about the organization). and its going to be another long, mediocre season - with mediocre things to look forward to. have to give Tambo credit for actually chasing Heatley. cross your fingers.
July 11 2009, 02:11PM
Not sure who many of you read Bill Simmons on ESPN, but he answered a mailbag question yesterday that has some strong parallels to the Heatley situation - the ongoing Brett Favre saga. I propose we follow this lead and impose a "Dany Heatley proof-of life" embargo here at ON.
Q: As a Vikings fan, I liken the Favre fiasco to a South American kidnapping. Until I get proof of life (Favre at Vikings training camp holding that day's newspaper), I'm just going to ignore the contradicting stories that come out. While I wait, I'm Favring (flip-flopping daily) on whether I want this to happen or not. If Jeter were suddenly cut by Hank Steinbrenner, and was rumored to want to play for Boston as payback, would you be on board? -- Scott K., Fairborn, Ohio SG: Of course! I'd absolutely want us to add a washed-up shortstop with no range. We could platoon him with Nick Green. I can honestly say, now that Roger Clemens' baseball career has ended in complete and total disgrace, I'd welcome any athlete on any of my teams who would make them better. If I could talk myself into Stephon Marbury, anything's possible. So I am a bad person to ask on this front. When Johnny Damon split for the Yankees, that proved to me that these guys are just laundry and it's stupid to say, "I could never root for Player X." Anyway, I like your "proof of life" idea, and it's a solid concept for the sports media to try out for one calendar year, since we have morphed into a culture that now analyzes things before they happen or as they're happening instead of after they definitely happened. What if we tried out an embargo policy for all sports "news" for one year? Everything gets a 72-hour window; after that, we can't mention it again until it happens. Like the Brett Favre/Vikings thing: Once it became a possibility, we would have had 72 hours from that point forward to break it down. After that? Embargoed until we get proof of life (in this case, a Favre news conference in Minnesota). You think I'm kidding, but chew on it for a second. How much easier would it be to follow sports with that proof-of-life embargo in effect? Think of all the Favre stories you avoided and ignored over these past six months. Think of all that wasted energy. Think of all the dumb conversations you had to endure on sports radio or a talking head show. It all could have been wiped away. Same for this Ricky Rubio/Minnesota saga. We get it. He might not come to the States; he might come. He might get traded; he might stay. We get it. Let us know when he makes a decision and he's holding up that newspaper. Until then, I don't care.
I think an internal deadline would be the best option for the Oilers. That lets Danny know that he either makes a decision to waive the no trade and play for the Oil or he returns to his old team where he definitly wont be very well like at all. I think if Danny knows he only has one for sure option by a certain timeline he will make a decision cause i dont think he want to return to Ottawa!
This could also put a lot more pressure on Brian Murray to push this deal through. Especially if he isnt getting any better offers. He will look like a tool now in the fans eyes if he gets a far worse package! He needs to go public and say he is either going to Edmonton or staying in Ottawa and he is done trying to look for another deal! Heatley has handicapped both teams and its time both teams take a stand with the spoiled brat! I think Ottawa owes us that much especially if they were the ones who leaked the players involved in the deal!
The fact that Tambo is still in on this deal makes me think that he has NOTHING else shaking and this is his best and maybe only way of getting 3 more players off the books. The fact that we are in a position of vulnerbility tells every other team out there that they can bend us over a barrel to get a deal done! And apparently Tambo isnt allowing that to happen so we are in limbo waiting for Ottawa to find a better deal.
If i was Tambo id call Dany and say "Listen man, you intially stated you were looking to play a bigger role on a team and thats why you requested a trade intially. You arent going to find a better opportunity to play a HUGE role on a hockey team than you could in Edmonton" We want you, the fans still kinda want you, but the longer you stall on this the harder it is for us to put a positive spin on it for the fans" You need to shit or get off the pot" You have until the end of July to say yes otherwise we are moving to plan B" (Unfortunatly there probably isnt a plan B but make him call our bluff) If he says no then the fans arent going to be mad at Tambo...he tried to land him and did everything he could.
Murray in turn calls Danny and says "i heard Tambo gave you to the end of July...im fielding no more calls for trades and you either go to Edmonton or get ready to be booed all year in Ottawa" We have a deal in place to shed some other salary to make room for you whether you wanna play here or not!!" (Even though they probably dont)
If he says no....MOVE ON!! Id like the guy but i want this to end. The crappy part that i have to repeat is i fear we have no alternate plans to better this team. If thats the case explain to Oilers fans that the future of the team is bright but we need some patience to develop players like, Gags, Eberle, MPS, Nilsson,Cogs, etc!
The only reason i think the Oilers are wasting there time with Heatley is to unload Penners contract, sad it might come at the expense of our pride and dignity.
Time to break out the ol' paper bag. As if last season wasn't embarrassing enough for Oilers fans, this Heatley crap is the icing on the cake.
July 11 2009, 02:32PM
I have a buddy going to Kelowna next weekend, I will get him to donkey punch Dany if he can find him.
2008-09 and its off season just may be one of the most humiliating and hard to swallow seasons that I've had to endure as a fan.
....I'm beginning to understand the psyche of the bandwagoner. This season is about the closest I've ever been to giving up.
As much as I'd love a high scoring LW, this is getting pathetic. My hope is that Tambo is leaving that offer on the table while putting together a bigger plan. Maybe once the plan falls into place, Tambo revokes the offer, makes 2 or 3 deals, and leaves Ottawa in the lurch. That's pretty optimistic, but what else do we have right now?
I thought I saw on The Score that Mathuei(sp) Roy got signed by Columbus, can anyone confirm that?
This makes the Oilers look bad. GET OVER HEATLY TAMBO. We can thank Lowe for the mess we have as a so called hockey team. I'd rather go watch the Drayton Valley Thunder in the AJHL.
I just wanted to add that I think all this is hilarious.
July 11 2009, 03:26PM
if Tambi is this willing to bend to Heatley's will when he isnt even an Oiler, imagine the BS he'd get away with if he actually came here!
*so tempted to say he could get away with murder, but...*

I guess that's why you're on Oilers Nation reading another article about Heatley and commenting on it, right?
Personally, I'd still take Heatley anytime. As soon as they fix the CBA to say that asking for a trade when you have an NMC completely and permanently revokes your NMC and any input you may have into your final destination.
Worst offseason ever...
Does anybody know if Simon Gagné has a no-trade clause? He's a pretty good left-wing and the Flyers are looking for salary cap space. Just asking.
Gagne no way to injury prone.
July 11 2009, 04:02PM
Does anybody else here wish the Oilers had signed Zanon and Jay Mckee for a combined cap hit of 2.6 million? that would be a much better bottom two than smid and staios for $1 million less. if those two salaries could be dumped along with nillson and that would have paid for kotalik too...
Patience, Grasshoppers...
I say screw it and go after Kessel...I see it the only 'realistic' move that Tambo can make to get a 1st rate playter...altough I don't think Philly-K is quite up to 1st rate status yet, he's close.
The nicest thing Heatley has ever done is stayed "mum" on the subject over the last weeks. He clearly doesn't want to go to Edmonton, but by not actually saying it out loud, he's giving Tambo the chance to maintain some dignity for the Oilers and make it look like the team was the one that decided to move on.
Nobody wants this to reach the point where he says, "No, definitely not Edmonton." We've had enough of that recently in our fair city, and it's reaching the point where a "Preferably not Edmonton" followed by a chorused rebuttle of "fuck you then" could feel like a win for the river city (or at least its increasingly elusive dignity).
I wonder if he's as flabbergasted as we are that Oilers management isn't leaping at the opportunity to put put a positive finish on what has otherwise been an embarassing and pathetic debacle.
MOVE ON ALREADY! Give Heatley one less option in Edmonton, Tambellini is going to screw this up really nice if he keeps on the current path. At this rate I would rather have the team we finished last year with. Get a brain Tambellini!!
The oilers have some work to do, but they are not the only ones. The sharks, for example, only have 16 NHLers signed. They have 55.5 mil comitted to those 16 players with contracts still pending to Marcell Goc and Tomass Greiss. The Flames are Weak up front after the top line and only have 3 mill cap space. Chicargo is ok this year but, will be up tight aganst the cap next year. Plus they have to resign Kane and Towes next year. Dallas is a marginal team asthings stand. Colorado and Pheonix are not playoff teams at the moment. L As hopes all depend on goaltending. Same as columbus. Anaheim and Vancover could go either way. So as things are if the oil can't land a big name player, a few small moves should be enough to at lest put them in playoff contention. In my opinion there is no need to panic just yet.

Problem is, if that were the case and he had to move to Edmonton, what's stopping him from just demanding another trade. Then we're just on Ottawa's position... or our own with Pronger.
Nope, I'd rather have someone who actually wants to play on this team. We've been burned enough, already.
Heatly did not waive his no-trade clause to come to Edmonton twice. You think that the GM of an NHL team flies out to Kelowna to meet a player, do you think that he didn't ask him if he wanted to play or not?! Wake-up and smell the reality of the situation. We should be glad that we didn't have to give up Cogs.

~But we haven't made any moves besides a new GM, new coaches, a new goalie coach, a new farm coach, and a new goalie.
We need to totally overhaul the team every year we don't win a cup, don't we? Shouldn't we run around screaming like Animal from the muppets because our roster doesn't look like Chicago?~
On a non-Heatley note, Calgary just sign Brian McGratton. This is what TSN.ca says about him:
"One of the most feared 'heavyweights' in professional hockey, the 29-year old Hamilton native earned 22 penalty minutes in just five games with the Phoenix Coyotes last season."
Lol, yeah, McGratton was pretty feared in his FIVE game last year. Scary...... TSN must've though that the leafs signed him to pump him up that much.

I understand that we as fans are frustrated and perhaps more than a little embarrassed by Heatley gate.... On the other hand, what's more frustrating is sitting back and watching all of the decent UFA's get signed during one of the cheapest UFA markets ever save for Gaborik maybe.
For all of the talk of burying contracts in the minors if need be, we've been completely out of the game here. We're in a great situation (sarcasm). Yeah we have too many contracts and too many slightly overpaid ones at that. Despite this, our roster has more holes than a window screen.
We've got 1/3 of a first line (Hemsky)... No one who can win a faceoff except Horcoff... No shut down d-man... No sniper for 1LW... Not much of a 3rd line for PK. Not to mention that we've yet to add any size or grit to our team. I am not even sure that we can legitimately claim to have a back up goalie with JDD...
I am not sure that I am huge fan of this approach. It seems like were going to sit back and wait for the Heatley situation to resolve itself and likely start next season with a slight worse roster than last year. Likely, this will entail filling some holes with prospects.
Isn't the definition of insanity repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result???
The reason why I write on Oiler Nation would be because I am an Oilers fan. I am smart enough to realize that Heatly does not want to come to Edmonton. Why do you guys keep on writing blogs that have been dead for two weeks? Any word on any of the players who currently play for Edmonton and how their training has progressed thus far?
@ ryan: starting to agree.see what cogs thinks of all this talk about him.also i would like to see if we could land some of the sharks team blow up.most of all i would like to see a team that could kick calgarys ass on a nightly basis.you know they fear us for a change!
July 11 2009, 05:45PM
@ ryan:
I'd suggest reading this site as well as the articles for the last week or two here at ON.
For instance, aside from this article, the last two days at OilersNation have contained:
- an article on Joe Sakic's retirement - an article discussing free agency and the goalie glut, as well as the ramifications of signing Khabibulin - an article on possible free agents who could help fill the Oilers' PK and faceoff holes - an article on Tim Sestito being dealt to New Jersey (where several people complained about the lack of a Heatley update) - Wanye's take on Dany Heatley and fans insatiable thirst for news - a look at what consistutes an NHL average goaltender and how the Northwest Division measures up
That means that between July 9th and now, there have been seven articles, only two of which dealt with Heatley.
I think we're being pretty reasonable in our coverage.

It's the middle of July. Outside of development camp, how much hockey-related news do you expect?
@ ryan: You're in the small minority that doesnt want Heatley news. At least until we get a solid No.
So we signed Chris Minard today, he formerly played for both the baby pens and Lowel Devils. Can't see this being more than a farm team move. Plays LW and put up decent points with Wilkse-barre last season but has never played more than a handfull of games in the NHL. At the age of 28 I don't think this is a work in progress... Anyone have anything else on him?
July 11 2009, 06:05PM
One has to keep in mind that while Heatley is big news in Edmonton and it requires covering, there is more to talk about and Oilers Nation seems to good a great job of bringing variety for readers to change things up a bit.
I had a comment posted on my blog asking me why I was wasting time with the examination of possible trade parterns instead of talking about giving fans the "scoops" on the Oilers.
As much as we'd like to think so, there aren't "scoops" floating around all day every day. It's nice to give different angles instead of the same old same old.
The only news here is that the Heatley camp wants more options of places to go. Does anyone believe that if/when Bryan Murray can find two other suitors, Heatley will actually pick Edmonton? Me thinks no.
July 11 2009, 06:49PM
Did Brownlee have anyone else feeling like the deal was about to go through after reading the "Limbo" piece a couple days ago? He's pretty damn good with his predictions so I was refreshing tsn for 48 hours after reading it....

Pull your head out of your ass. Heatley hasn't told the Oilers yes or no yet. His actions -- foot dragging and refusing to drop the NMC -- indicate no, and any deal will have to be tweaked because of the $4 million bonus payment, but he hasn't gone on the record and said "no." Aside from that, if you were paying attention, the Oilers haven't given up on the deal, even though they probably should. That's newsworthy.
We'd appreciate it if you'd pay attention, have a grasp of the facts and read what's actually written before running your mouth. That, or if you see a topic that doesn't interest you, don't read it. Unless, of course, your name comes back with the same IP as notcomingback and you're just here to get a reaction.

Robin F*ckin' Brownlee in da hoooouuuuuse!
This is ridiculous. I can't wait till he goes somewhere else and the Oilers are just sitting there looking dumb with their crappy team. Our family shells out for 4 season tickets each year and I'm starting to wonder why the hell we do. Set a deadline, move on and save face. Pathetic.
Can you imagine how often Robin would use the phrase 'pull your head out of your ass' if he wrote for a Leaf's related website? :)
Hey Robin, you've gotten a bit more chippy lately. I hope it's just some of the comments here that have you riled up and not anything closer to home.

I'm sure there would be a long line up of people that would gladly take your tickets off your hands. Heck I'm willing to bet they would even throw a few Flames jersey's in as well.
But still....Heatley must have thrown Tamb and Lowe a bone back in Kelowna, or they would have dropped this days ago. That and his silence leads me to believe there is still the faint hope clause. OR..he told them what they wanted to hear...and after they left, Heatley was..."phew...I thought they would never leave." But have faith, Tambellini doing everything they can to fix the broken Oilers.

"I had been eyeing these sandals for a while before I finally caved in and bought them, and I'm so glad I did! They are so adorable and match a lot of the clothes in my spring/summer wardrobe. I usually wear a 6.5 but these fit just right in a size 6. The only bad thing about these is the part in between your toes; it's a little thicker than most sandals. It hurt a little bit at first, but my feet got used to them after a couple hours of walking in them. They don't flop around on my feet when I walk either, which is awesome! Definitely a great pair of shoes for those warm days when I don't feel like wearing wedges!"

Halloween, with its candypalooza and celebration of the macabre, makes us forget that real monsters are out there.
Thank goodness, then, for the shameless websites – deserving of no further publicity by using their names – that serve as art dealers for psychopaths and the misguided folks willing to pay for their kitsch. They give a whole new meaning to the phrase "blood money."
One site recently was peddling a pencil drawing of 11 tombstones, allegedly sketched by convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell. List price: $175. "[H]ighly collectible and great for display," gushed the money-mongers who run the site.
"I can't believe someone would try to profit from a serial killer," said Anthony Dozier, whose mother, Crystal, was murdered – along with 10 other women – by Sowell.
That's the difference between human beings and predators.
The tombstone illustration and six other items attributed to Sowell have been removed from the site. Their mere presence, though, suggests the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction needs to do more to make sure inmates aren't profiting, even indirectly, from their crimes.

The former can be handled by better meal planning, for sure, but the latter requires a little know-how. You might not know that you can eat broccoli stems or beet greens, but that "trash" is just as nutritious, and sometimes more so, than the main part of the vegetable. So save money and nutrients by keeping these 11 food scraps out of the trash.
Cauliflower and broccoli stems and leaves
Though most people chop off the florets of broccoli and cauliflower, the stems themselves are healthy, mineral-packed leftovers that too often wind up in the garbage. Pare off the tough exterior to get to the mild-flavored flesh. Shave it into ribbons and cook those into a pasta doppelganger, as Edward Lee, head chef at 610 Magnolia in Louisville, Kentucky, suggests. Or slice the stalks into sticks that you can use for dipping hummus or salsa.

Chard/Collard/Kale Stalks
Leafy greens are the healthiest veggies you can eat—but don't eat just the leaves. The stems pack just as much nutrition. In fact, chard stems are rich in glutamine, an amino acid that boosts your immune system and helps muscle recovery after workouts. Chop up the stems and sauté them in some oil until they're soft, then add your chopped leafy greens.

Beet Greens
During beet season, be sure to buy beets with the greens attached. The greens, usually available on young, tender beets, are packed with fiber and vitamins K, A, and C. Chop them up, stems and all, and sauté them in some oil, then dress them with balsamic vinegar and add them to pasta.
Try it: Roasted Beet and Beet Green Salad

Mushroom Stems
Most recipes suggest that you remove mushroom stems before cooking, but the stems are edible. Some varieties of mushroom stems may be too fibrous to taste good when raw, but sautéed or boiled, they soften up and become quite tasty.

Celery Leaves
Celery leaves taste just like celery stalks but have a more concentrated flavor, and they pack more calcium and magnesium. They can be used any way you'd use celery: added to a salad, tossed into a stir-fry, or even substituted for parsley.
Keep Reading: A Guide to Growing Celery.

Watermelon Seeds and Rinds
If you're patient enough to pick out all the seeds from your next watermelon, you can salt and roast them, just as you would pumpkin and squash seeds. And although pickled watermelon rind is the most well-known way to keep that out of the trash, you can also peel the hard green exterior and slice the green flesh underneath. It tastes similar to cucumber.

Citrus Peels
Citrus peels are the most underappreciated part of your favorite fruits. Before you cut a lemon, lime, or orange in half, grate the zest off the skin and save it to use as a seasoning for salad dressings, or as a garnish for your favorite cocktails. Any citrus rind can be boiled on the stove as a natural air freshener, and you can use leftover lemon peels, sprinkled with salt, to clean your kitchen and bathroom countertops. Or fill a glass container with citrus peels, which contain the natural solvent d-limonene, and cover them with white vinegar, another natural solvent. Let the mixture steep for about 2 weeks, strain out the peels, and you have a potent homemade all-purpose citrus-scented cleaner.
Yum: Candied Citrus Peels

Herb Stems
Don't toss the stems of your next bunch of herbs! They contain the same flavors as the leaves, and can be blended into salsas (cilantro) or pestos (parsley) or steeped in teas (mint).

Carrot Tops
The mildly flavored greens that accompany fresh carrots can be used instead of lettuce on your next sandwich or blended into a green smoothie. The greens have six times more vitamin C than carrots themselves, as well as being rich in vitamin K and magnesium.

Ginger Skins
Most recipes that require fresh ginger tell you to peel a ginger root, then slice it into your dish. Save the peels and steep them in water to make tea, or drown them in olive oil, which you can use to make ginger-tinged salad dressings.
Photo: (cc) Mattie Hagedorn/Flickr
Corn Cobs
After you shuck the kernels off of a corncob, throw the cob itself into your next batch of chowder. Cobs have just as much flavor as the kernels, and after you boil them for about 10 minutes in some water, that flavor will be released, enhancing your chowders with body and taste.

Skip to comments.Washington Post complains Israel's Iron Dome missile defense is too perfect
Posted on 12/10/2012 8:16:19 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Israel strengthened its military deterrence during the recent clash with Hamas by demonstrating that its Iron Dome missile defense intercepted Israel-bound rockets from Gaza 84 percent of the time. Most media accounts of Iron Dome in action marveled at its precision performance in preventing most of the rockets from reaching their targets in southern Israel - although a few did get through its new defensive net. Iron Dome was widely credited with keeping Israeli casualties to a bare minimum.
But that's not exactly the view of the Washington Post in its Sunday, Dec. 9, edition. In a front-page article that spills over two pages inside the paper, correspondent Scott Wilson sees a decidedly darker side to Iron Dome. Its very success, he argues, could prompt Israel henceforth to go into a defensive crouch and lose interest in advancing the peace process ("In Iron Dome, an emblem of Israel's unmet challenges").
"Iron Dome has become an emblem of the unmet challenges that sit at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Wilson writes. The key issue, he adds, is whether Iron Dome will motivate Israel's leaders to pursue peace with the Palestinians and the wider Arab world or insulate them from having to do so. "Israelis of various political leanings (not otherwise identified) see worrying evidence in the system's defensive nature that their country, rather than working to resolve its security problems through decisive military action or lasting peace treaties, is acquiescing to a siege mentality
"If only Israel's diplomacy could be as inventive, many Israelis (otherwise not identified) say, perhaps a solution to the Palestinian conflict could have been found by now."

THAT truly works for me. Glad the Washington Pist thinks so!
To the left, it's not Fair for someone to have an advantage over someone else; it's discrimination.
I remember during the Iraq liberation the left was complaining about American troops having an unfair advantage with their night-vision equipment/Sheesh
I'm betting that the New York Times locks the doors of their offices each night, and that they have security measures between their executive offices and the mean streets of the city.
Using their logic, they should be ashamed of themselves. How can they ever understand the problems of the street dwellers this way? How can they ever learn to co-exist with them?
They should destroy the locks and fire the guards. It's only fair.
I truly believe my 6 year old grandson has more intellect than the writers at WaPo. What's said is the writers are voicing the sentiment of a large part of the liberal media.
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
This guy's formulation makes no sense. I could see how the dome might be blamed for encouraging Israel to be more aggressive. But to argue it puts Israel in a defensive crouch and allows them to sit back and not pursue peace, huh? If they are able to sit back and enjoy themselves that is peace, you boob.
What he means, probably, is that the defensive shield will dissuade them from sacrificing territory and helping create a freestanding, self-sufficient Palestinian state. Which is called "peace," but is something else.
One of the (very) few things good things about the MSM in the present day is that they have removed any doubt that they have an almost complete lack of ability in virtually every field - save for lying.
However, they'd receive an "A" in Liberal Logic (the mother of all oxymorons)from any ivy league school.
Israel's been pursuing peace since 1948. Maybe Iron Dome will prompt a few Palestinians to do the same; deterrence did prompt Israel's other neigbours to back off.
Ah, the Soviet KGB's disinformation campaign and arguments is still alive. Wilson's arguments are basically the same the KGB funded American and European "Peace Movements" used against our nuclear missile forces, the deployment of anti-ballastice missile defenses (ground launched missiles which were actually developed and deployed to one site), and most famously to President Reagan's Space Defenxe Initiative.
And we see the same today in President Obama's move to dismantle all of the US's remaining nuclear weapons under the theory "if we don't have nukes, other nations won't 'fear us' and will stop wanting their own nukes."
The liberal mindset: Israel always has to Pursue peace. Even if that means they have to die to do it. If they choose to "not die" that is seen as a negative
You have a great message - wish the Washington Post, New York Times and all the other dying newspapers could read it. This is why people are dropping subscriptions... it's not the Internet, it's not bad spelling, it's not inadequate writing - it's the stupidity of their ideas.
The only peace that exists in the middle east is the peace within Israel's well guarded borders. Outside those borders is chaos and savagery.
Literally NOTHING will cause the Egyptian and Jordanian Arabs of Gaza and the West Bank to seek peace with Israel. These Arabs could be facing utter annihilation and the only thing that they would seek would be "hudna" or a fake truce while they rearmed, rebuilt and retrained.
The Israelis need to close off the gates to Gaza - nothing and no one, in or out. They also need to cut the water and power that they provide and for which the Arabs of Gaza do not pay. They need to control the border bewtween Gaza and Egypt and maintain a blockade of their coast.
The only thing to come in by sea or across the Egyptian Border should be food, medical supplies, and materials to build infrastructure (the Arabs need to build their own power water and agriculture systems...). If they're busy farming and building, they might not have as much time for Jihad - and they'll have something to lose if they DO try Jihad...
The same drivel came from the CPUSA (Communist Party USA aka the enemy within democrats) when Pres Reagan wanted a missile shield. The communists in the former USSR and China all agreed with our Communist Party that this was dangerous.
So the WPost is simply regurgitating their pro-communist agenda. Strength through weakness and lead from behind all in the name of fairness.
sheesh.. these lefties even believe in equality when it comes to warfare.
not fair that one side should be winning..
just not fair.. good lord these people are children.
Yes, that's it exactly. The writer talks about three courses of action in responding to the rocket attacks: retaliate in a way that ensures victory (and peace), submit in a way that ensures peace ( in theory, but highly unlikely) or entrench (Iron Dome) and do nothing.
I'm not sure that entrenching is Israels best option here. It's a much better alternative than submitting (in perpetuity, to an enemy that would never be satisfied). But a lesser one IMHO to going for an overwhelming win by putting the militaries of it's opponents out of commission. Which it has the capability of accomplishing (without resorting to nukes ... Although a nuke dropped on an isolated Iranian military compound would send one heck of a strong message)
It is not fair. Muslims are too stupid to build their own.
Shouldn't these washington pest "writers" stick their pencils deep into their eyes? That would save society the embarrassment of reading their liberal drivel.
No so sure about that. Its only unfair if those liberals disapprove have the upper hand. In all others cases its 'fair'.
"If only more terrorist rockets could blow up Jews in their homes and Jewish children in their schools, we would be closer to world peace, Allahu Akbar" /s
We need to quit looking at this as a war of ideas where we can sway these armchair jihadi socialists with reason, because they don't care what truth is. They're operating under the theory that any lie becomes truth if you repeat it often enough.
A nuke dropped on that rock in Saudi Arabia would send an even stronger message.
Remove the rock, erase islam.
If this isn't a wah wah wah moment there has never been one! Gotta love it.
WELL DUH! imagine that horrible situation/sarc.
Is there something going on in outer space somewhere, is the moon full. All morning long has been thread after thread of some IDIOTIC idea by some "journalist" extolling the horror of such as this, or Dowd and her rant on Republicans being stubborn on not wanting to support the 47%'ers and such..
The only problem with the Iron Dome is how much its interceptors cost,it is expensive to stop rockets with that system.Apart from that,it is nearly perfect.It prevents terrorists from killing civilians,it takes no lives.....there is nothing wrong with that.
Of course, any such "decisive military action" would be roundly condemned by the Washington Post.
Yes, this article is the same as Soviet disinformation, because it comes from the same ideology.
Hamas leaders have said again and again that their goal is the complete destruction of Israel, and as Golda Meier said many years ago, survival is not negotiable.
IOW, "How DARE you duck when they throw things at you?!?" The writer of this op-ed should be dragged out of his office and beheaded by jihadists, and so should his editor. Thanks SeekAndFind.
This article is misleading. I read the Wapo article and it does NOT emphasize the disincentive to peace. The Wapo article was a good one, in fact. It talked about the siege mentality instead of a military defeat.

"I normally do not wear heels & most of the time it is very difficult for me to adjust to heels. These shoes on the other hand were SOOO comfortable once I put them on! Walking in them is a breeze & they look so classy and sheek! I think that if you are not a normal heel wearing person, these will be great!!!"

"While I wouldn't go for a run in these, they are pretty comfy considering that they are pumps! I am adding some foot petals to make them even more wearable. I love the Velcro strap as it makes me feel more secure in wearing these. My only complaint is that these are leather. Can Me too make a non-leather version, please????"

Comments: I am quite a novice skater compared to most hockey enthusiasts in that
this particular skate was only my second of 2 pairs I have owned made by CCM. This
is made apparent by my hesitation in upgrading to a more expensive higher level skate
until I have gained more skill and confidence in my skating. I must admit that the CCM
+04 have been perfect for my particular skating level. I bethink it is quite obvious that
comfort is everything to a beginning skater. These particular skates offered the perfect
amount of cushion I needed after baking them from home via the required guidelines
administered by CCM regarding the U-FOAM material that comprises these skates.
They fit perfectly to my feet and still offer much protection even after breaking them in
by skating and wearing them around the house. I would recommend them to any
skater especially those that are trying to build their confidence and abilities on the ice.

Well-Structured, All-Occasion Bootie.
"Stylish yet comfy - this shoe is a great 'all-rounder'. Goes with practically everything & the heel is mid-range, giving the wearer some length & height without becoming painful (they're not sneakers by any means but you could go a long while without wincing for sure) Well made with a slightly cushioned footbed, the style is simple & classic, with a strong, secure heel-strap. I agree with other reviewers that these run a bit short & narrow, I would recommend going up either a half or full size - going up a half size was perfect for me as my feet are pretty narrow. If you're on the wider-side, a full size would probably do the trick. You do need to 'fill' the bootie for the strap to do its job & keep it tight on your foot. They feel gorgeous, both inside & out. Very happy with this purchase."

The Ospreys stayed in contention for a PRO12 play-off berth after beating the Dragons 14-3 at Rodney Parade on Monday.
The Ospreys stayed in contention for a PRO12 play-off berth after beating the Dragons 14-3 at Rodney Parade on Monday.
Eli Walker's converted try gave the away team an early lead before Tom Prydie hit back for the Dragons with a penalty.
But after controlling much of the second period, it was the Ospreys that sealed the victory through Ashley Beck's touchdown which moved them up to fifth in the table.
Looking to build on their dominant 32-3 success over the Llanelli-based Scarlets on Boxing Day, the visitors got off to the perfect start, going 7-0 up inside four minutes.
Good hands sent Walker away down the left wing, and although the youngster still had plenty to do, he finished impressively in the corner, Biggar converting.
However, the Dragons weren't allowing the Ospreys to dominate the contact area and duly hit back when Prydie converted a penalty opportunity.
The rest of the half remained scrappy with the away side proving the most dangerous with ball in hand, but they couldn't capitalise and the match remained finely poised at the break.
Although Steve Tandy's men controlled the early stages of the second period, they found it difficult to break down stubborn Dragons defence.
But their pressure eventually paid off when Lewis Robling was charged down and Beck had the simple task of collecting the ball and touching down under the posts.
Both teams pressed late on and had chances to score but it was the visitors that took the spoils.
The scorers:
For Dragons:
Pen: Prydie
For Ospreys:
Tries: Walker, Beck
Cons: Biggar 2
Dragons: 15 Hallam Amos, 14 Will Harries, 13 Pat Leach, 12 Andy Tuilagi, 11 Tom Prydie, 10 Lewis Robling, 9 Jonathan Evans, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Nic Cudd, 6 Lewis Evans (capt), 5 Rob Sidoli, 4 Andrew Coombs, 3 Dan Way, 2 Sam Parry, 1 Phil Price.
Replacements: 16 Hugh Gustafson, 17 Owen Evans, 18 Nathan Buck, 19 Adam Jones, 20 Tom Brown, 21 Wayne Evans, 22 Steffan Jones, 23 Jack Dixon.

Replacements: 16 Scott Baldwin, 17 Duncan Jones, 18 Cai Griffiths, 19 Jonathan Thomas, 20 Morgan Allen, 21 Rhys Webb/Tom Habberfield, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Ashley Beck.

Pour Standards will host the Pour to Restore homebrew beer-tasting to raise money for workers at Staten Island University Hospital.
"Our employees were still working while trying to repair their homes, trying to find relief," said Sean Torres, 27, who leads the Pour Standards club and works at SIUH.
"We thought that donating to the first responders, the patient-care workers here, would help them out a lot."
All proceeds from the $30 event, set for Sunday, Dec. 23 at 120 Bay Cafe, will be donated to the Staten Island University Hospital's Employee Benefit Fund, which was started after Sandy to help employees in the storm's aftermath.
Hospital spokeswoman Arleen Ryback said 50 employees lost their homes during Sandy, and another 250 were affected.
Each guest will get a wristband that allows them to sample more than 20 different brews made by about 17 homebrewers from Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey.
"One of our goals at the homebrew club was kind of to do things for the community," Torres said.
Club members were interested in hosting a fundraiser for Staten Islanders even before the hurricane hit, but they couldn't figure out where to donate the money.
Once Sandy struck, the need was clear.
"We said, 'We definitely have to do something now,'" Torres said.
Torres said the benefit will put money directly into the hands of hospital workers affected by Sandy.
"Anything donated to that fund goes straight to the employees," he said.
For those who might want to learn how to brew their own beer, Pour to Restore will be raffling off two gift certificates for homebrewing classes at Bitter & Esters in Prospect Heights, valued at $110 each.
"We're happy to give away gift cards for a good cause like this," said Douglas Amport, co-owner of Bitter & Esters.
"A lot of people up here are very lucky that [Sandy] didn't affect us at all. We got to spread the luck."
The homebrew supply store is also donating 10 gallons of a hoppy pale ale, Dr. Feelgood, and possibly a Belgian-styled pale ale for the event.
Pour Standards organizers, who hope to be far more than a group that chats about beer recipes, see this event as the first of many community-minded projects.
"These kinds of events, we want to continue doing," Torres said.
Torres said he was surprised by the quick and generous outpouring of support from homebrewers.
"When you think of beer, you would imagine that people would want to keep it for themselves," said Torres about the often expensive hobby. "It's a lot of work. It's almost a full day to brew a beer, and you have to wait for it to ferment a week.
"These guys are just giving it away," he said. "It's not cheap."
Pour to Restore will be held on Dec. 23, at 120 Bay Cafe, starting at noon. Tickets are $30 and can be bought online at pourtorestore.com. Participants must be at least 21 years old.

UHC Members in UHC/AACN Nurse Residency Program(TM) First in the Nation to Receive Accreditation From Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
OAK BROOK, Ill., July 19 A national accreditation agency officially recognized by the US Secretary of Education has recently announced the accreditation of 2 members of the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) that participate in the UHC/American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Nurse Residency Program(TM).
The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) has accredited the 400-bed University of Colorado Hospital and the 596-bed University of Kansas Hospital--the only 2 hospitals in the nation to receive national accreditation for their respective nurse residency programs.
To qualify for nurse residency program accreditation, hospitals must meet standards in 4 areas: institutional commitment and resources, curriculum, program faculty, and effectiveness.
"These UHC members have made nurse residency programs a priority and we're pleased that their efforts to invest in their nursing staff have been recognized by CCNE," said Roberta G. Graham, UHC executive vice president. "We are proud to offer the 1-year UHC/AACN Nurse Residency Program(TM) to graduate nurses to help them develop advanced clinical judgment and promote safe, quality care."
The CCNE is an autonomous arm of the AACN. UHC has worked in conjunction with AACN to develop the UHC/AACN Nurse Residency Program(TM), which offers a curriculum and support for new graduate nurses. Nearly 14,000 nurses have participated in the UHC/AACN Nurse Residency Program(TM) since its inception in 2002, and the average turnover rate for program participants has dropped to 5.6%--approximately one-fifth the national average.
Turnover among new nurses is a major issue in hospitals nationwide. In fact, the median voluntary turnover rate for first-year nurses is 27.1%, according to a July 2007 report from PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute. According to the latest projections from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1 million new and replacement nurses will be needed by 2016.
Since the University of Kansas Hospital started its nurse residency program in 2003, first-year nurse retention rates have improved dramatically, to an average of 95%. While retention of talented nurses is important, especially in an era of nursing shortages, University of Kansas Hospital Education Specialist Robyn Setter, MS, RN-BC, said she also believes the program helps nurses progress to leadership roles such as nurse manager, unit educator, and clinical nurse coordinator, and become leaders in bedside care and safety.
In addition to improvements in retention rates, the University of Colorado Hospital expects to see an improvement in recruiting for nurses. The human resources department at the hospital expects 500 applicants for a class of 30 residency openings, helping ensure high-quality patient care through this additional training. Its postbaccalaureate nurse residency program was established to improve patient care by providing support and additional training to new baccalaureate nursing graduates.
The University of Colorado Hospital's commitment to nursing residency is clear. In 1998, Colleen Goode, RN, PhD, then chief nursing officer, helped form a national task force convened with the AACN that ultimately led to the creation of a postbaccalaureate nurse residency demonstration project for the hospital. University of Colorado Hospital Professional Resources Director May Krugman, RN, PhD, headed the team leading to the CCNE site visit last October, which resulted in accreditation.
About UHC
The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), formed in 1984, is an alliance of 107 academic medical centers and 233 of their affiliated hospitals, representing approximately 90% of the nation's nonprofit academic medical centers. UHC offers its members specific programs and services to improve clinical, operational, financial, and patient safety performance.

Graduate students prepare themselves to become competent speech-language pathologists by developing the necessary knowledge and skills to understand, assess and treat persons with communication and swallowing disorders.
