In my post about making raw hemp milk, I mentioned using the soymilk maker to make a hemp milk that wouldn't separate so easily. I tried several batches before I got it to my satisfaction-- the results are below-- and it, indeed, does not separate as easily as the raw version. But it does eventually separate after standing in the refrigerator for a day or so. However, you can shake it up and it's just fine.
I had a little accident with one batch that I made, but, never one to waste food, I salvaged something good out of it! You can see that tale below the milk recipe!
Printable Recipe
Yield: 5 1/2 cups
This is a nice mild nondairy milk. You need the filterless SoyQuick Premier Milk Maker 930P to make this milk.
5 1/2 cups water (up to the "minimum" mark in the SoyQuick container)
3/4 cup shelled hemp seeds (also called "hemp nuts")
3 tablespoons rolled oats (oatmeal)
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons organic sugar or agave nectar
IMPORTANT: IF YOU USE AGAVE NECTAR, DO NOT ADD UNTIL THE MILK COOLS OR IT WILL CURDLE! (see what happens below!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add water , hemp seeds, and oats to the Soy Quick container. Attach the rest of the machine, plug in and press the "Multigrain" setting.
When it beeps, remove the grinding mechanism, etc:
You'll see a residue or hemp seed and oats on the blade protector, etc.
and pour the milk through a cloth inside of a colander placed over a pot (sterilize all equipment with boiling water).
Let it drain and then pull up the sides of the cloth, twist and squeeze until all the milk is in the pot and you are left with a small residue on the inside of the cloth (discard that).
Stir in the sugar and salt, pour the milk into a scalded glass jug or canning jars, cap tightly, and refrigerate.
IF YOU USE AGAVE NECTAR FOR THE SWEETENER, DO NOT ADD IT TO THE HOT MILK, OR THE ACID IN THE AGAVE WILL CURDLE THE MILK! WAIT UNTIL THE MILK COOLS OFF. (See what happens below!)
The hemp milk will probably separate after a day or so-- just shake it up before serving.

With one of my test batches, I unthinkingly added agave nectar to the fresh, hot hemp milk and poured it into jars. This is what happened:
I instantly knew that that "citrusy" flavor I detect in agave nectar is acidity! Not one to waste food, I gently poured the contents of both jars (a little at a time) into the cloth lined tofu press that comes with the SoyQuick. However, the curds were very fragile, so I didn't want to press them. I gathered up the cloth after it had drained for a time in the sink, tied it with a rubber band and drained it on the end of the sink tap:
After it drained for several hours, I scraped it out of the cloth into a small bowl and was left with about 1/2 a cup of "hemp curd cheese":
I seasoned the curds with a little salt, garlic, and herbs and used it as a tasty spread:
This would probably not be worth doing on purpose very often, as the yield is meager and it would be fairly expensive. But it was certainly good!

I can't wait to try it Bryanna! I really love that Soyquick machine.
I love your save with the curdled milk. Way to go!

Hey, Julie! Nice to hear from you!
I love that machine, too!

I love that you made the most of the unexpected results. Very smart.

I have another question for you Bryanna. I have been looking at making milk alternatives with nuts or oats and I can't figure out how to determine the nutritional/calorie information for homemade versions of these milks. I know that you have to strain them, but that is where I get confused. Do you have any idea?
- Fri Mar 20, 09:14:00 AM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
I have Living Cookbook software, Sarena, and use that for my nutritional facts. I counted the nutrients for only 1/2 cup of hemp seeds instead of 3/4 cup, hoping that would be about what is left in the residue. The residue is not much!
- Fri Mar 20, 12:42:00 PM PDT
- Sarena Shasteen said...
Thanks Bryanna, I figured that was pretty much how I would have to figure it out. It is kind of tricky when it comes to removing pulp! I have a ton of pecans that I was thinking of using, but I do watch what I eat (fats/calories) so it is important to me for it to be lowfat. Thank you for your help!
- Fri Mar 20, 05:34:00 PM PDT
I added the remaining pulp to a tomato soup I was making, and it definitely gets the thumbs up: the creamy, thick, mild, pulp wasn't at all gritty when blended with the roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, and fried onion into a smooth bisque.
- Tue Jun 09, 10:31:00 AM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Great idea, Karen! That would probably work in any creamy soup. Thanks so much!
- Tue Jun 09, 11:41:00 AM PDT
Please, do you think I could make the milk with unshelled hempseeds?
- Tue Jul 28, 11:21:00 AM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
zdenka, you could, but your milk would be green and perhaps have a different taste.
- Tue Jul 28, 11:29:00 AM PDT
OK, I have tried and it turned quite well. Not greenish at all. In fact the shells stay in the sieve. I usually pass all the nut and seed milks through a coffee filter as well and there is still a lot of fine pulp left. But no in the case of hemp milk. It just go throuhg almost completely!
As for the taste I will have to wait till I buy some shelled seed (which I find a little bit expensive :-(
Only - now I am not sure - do you mean 3/4 of a regular cup (8oz) or of the cup that goes with the machine? Thanks for help!
- Sun Aug 09, 12:10:00 AM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Zdenka, Hi! I'm surprised it's not an odd color-- I've seen some commercially processed hemp milk that is an odd color, whereas the shelled hemp seeds make a pure white milk.
That's 3/4 of a regular 8 oz. cup. I wonder if you need to use more with the shells?
What did you think of the taste?
- Sun Aug 09, 10:31:00 AM PDT
- zdenka said...
We like your hemp milk recipe very much, thanks for the great idea! But please, do you have any suggestions for using the hemp-oat pulp? (other than putting it in the porridge...)
- Tue Dec 08, 01:30:00 PM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
zdenka, you could try adding it to bread, or using it in spreads and dips, as it has a soft texture.
- Tue Dec 08, 01:49:00 PM PST
- zdenka said...
Well, I already had hemp pulp from 4 batches...
Finally I tried some sweet cakes:
Dough - 250g flour, 1 1/2 TBSP baking powder, 30g finely ground coconut, 60g honey, 30g oil, 100ml water (liquids blended together first). Rest a while and roll in a tart form. Or any other pie crust.
Filling - 300g hemp-oat pulp, 3TBSP frucose vanilla sugar (but any sweetener should be fine) and 1TBSP maizena mixed in a little of cold water.
Bake for 20 minutes in 180-200°C preheated oven.
I could also send some photos :-)
have you already tried adding it to a bread? Isn´t it to moist?

It looks tasty! Now, who's going to say no to this delicious accident?

When the day started, the Vikings had two goals for Week 17.
They wanted to win against the Packers to secure themselves a ticket to the playoffs and they wanted to get running back Adrian Peterson 208 yards so that he could set the single-season rushing record. Achieving the first goal might have oame at the expense of the second as Peterson ran 26 yards to set up a Blair Walsh chip shot that made the Vikings 37-34 winners at the Metrodome.
That run left Peterson with 199 yards on 34 carries, leaving him nine yards shy of Eric Dickerson's record when all was said and done. Had the game gone to overtime, perhaps Peterson would have wound up in the top spot. In a postgame interview with Pam Oliver of FOX, he showed no sign that the trip to the postseason was an unwelcome consolation prize.
Peterson got the big last play, but the much-maligned Christian Ponder made some of the biggest throws of the game to get the Vikings to the postseason. He hit Michael Jenkins on a third-and-11 for 25 yards just after the two-minute warning and he hit Jarius Wright with a perfectly thrown strike for 65 yards to set up a touchdown pass to Jenkins earlier in the fourth quarter. Ponder was 16-of-28 overall for 234 yards and three touchdowns, which is a pretty good performance for the biggest game of your brief professional life.
Walsh's kick ended a thrilling back-and-forth second half that featured a controversial call (referee Mike Carey allowing a review of what was ruled a fumble despite Packers coach Mike McCarthy throwing the challenge flag on what wound up as a James Jones touchdown), a crucial turnover (Bryan Robison's strip sack of Aaron Rodgers that halted Green Bay's momentum) and big plays all over the place. There was also a terrible penalty by Packers cornerback Tramon Williams, who got flagged for illegal hands to the face on a failed third down try by the Vikings just before Jenkins' touchdown.
And we get to do it all over again next week at Lambeau Field. The Packers slip to the third seed with the loss and the San Francisco win, which means they'll host the sixth-seeded Vikings on the heels of a classic that lifted the Vikings to a playoff berth few saw coming at the start of the season.

Steve Young produced some of the most memorable moments in NFL history. The Run—his electrifying 49-yard game-winning touchdown against Minnesota. The Catch II—his last-second touchdown strike to Terrell Owens to beat Green Bay in the playoffs. Then there were his record-setting six touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIX.
But Young's most impressive victories were personal ones that were won off the field when no one was watching. QB is a remarkably revealing memoir of an athletically gifted Mormon boy with a 4.0 GPA, a photographic memory, and a severe case of childhood separation anxiety. At the same time, Young was absolutely fearless—and unstoppable—whenever he had a ball in his hands.
As an eighth-string quarterback at BYU, Young persevered through homesickness and a coach who said he'd never make it as a quarterback because he was a lefty who couldn't throw. Determined to prove his coach wrong, Young became and All-American, finished second in the Heisman voting, and was the top draft choice coming out of college. After signing the largest contract in sports history, he was so overwhelmed by impossible expectations that he nearly walked away from football to become a lawyer. Instead, he ended up in San Francisco, pitted agains Joe Montana in what became the greatest quarterback controversy in league history.
Young's quest—both in football and in life—was always more about grit than anything else. His "get it done" mentality brought MVP awards and Super Bowl championships to San Francisco. As an author, he gives readers the sense of being inside his helmet while he runs through opponents both on and off the field.

I don't follow sports, it's just a fact. However, after listening to Steve speak at a YSA Conference in Arizona he mentioned his biography and I ordered it. It was cool to follow him throughout his life and what he learned along the way. I gave the book as a gift after reading it
I bought QB for my son for his birthday because I thought the book sounded like a Great Book. And it is Fantastic!
Although I raised three sons who loved Sports especially football (and my husband loved it as well) I was never
very fond of football. But while teaching Seminary years ago I had watched a few firesides on BYUTV where Steve
Young was the speaker. I was very impressed by his Testimony of the Gospel and I felt that he was an Inspiring
Role Model for the youth of the Church and actually for all the book came I thought well I will read the
first chapter and just see how good it is. I finally put it down after reading 70 pages the first night! And then I began sharing with
Family and Friends about what an awesome book it is. I especially loved all the description of the actual playing of all
the games. I substituted in Early Morning Seminary last week and shared a couple of the special Spiritual Experiences
from his life. And there are many in the book. The way he was Blessed to handle the Trials and Anxiety in his life can help
so many people today of all ages. Thanks so much for sharing your life story from your earliest years in Life.
I know it will be both entertaining and healing to many. As the Holidays approach QB would be a fabulous Gift to Give
actually whether you are a Football Fan or not. Thanks to all who contributed in creating such an Inspiring Book.
I had always wondered how Steve Young and Truman Madsen became such close Friends and now I know about his visit
with Brother and Sister Madsen in the Holy Land.

Once upon a time I liked this baseball game just fine. David Wright took Old Man Moyer convincingly deep in the very first inning for a 3-0 lead, and yesterday's memories of dropped pop-ups and Doc Halladay and getting shellacked receded at the best possible speed. Yes, it got interesting in the bottom of the first, with solo shots by Placido Polanco and Ryan Howard off Johan Santana bringing the Phillies to within 3-2. But Santana seemed to settle down, and Rod Barajas continued his Citizens Bank domination, whacking a two-run homer to restore the Mets' three-run lead. Jamie Moyer didn't seem to be fooling anybody, and obviously Johan would settle down and throttle the Phils. The Mets would head for Cincinnati in first by 1 1/2, having Not Blinked and Made a Statement and Proved Something to Themselves, and all would be just fine.
Yep, that was pretty obviously what was going to happen.
This is what happened instead.
Let's start in the fourth inning, with two outs and Utley standing on third.
- Johan's fourth pitch after that point was a Raul Ibanez single that made it 5-3.
- Johan's fifth pitch was a Juan Castro single.
- Johan's ninth pitch sent Carlos Ruiz to first via a thoroughly intentional unintentional walk.
- Johan's 16th pitch walked Jamie Moyer, forcing in a run and making it 5-4.
- Johan's 18th pitch disappeared into the seats, a Shane Victorino grand slam that put the Phillies on top, 8-5.
- Johan's 21st pitch was a Placido Polanco single
- Johan's 23rd and mercifully final pitch was an Utley home run that made it 10-5.
Hisanori Takahashi came on, but the delights of this particular game were not over.
- Takahashi's second pitch was a Ryan Howard single.
- Takahashi's fifth pitch — the 28th since Ibanez came to the plate with two out — was a Jayson Werth double that it made it 11-5.
And then, at last, that elusive third out, made by Ibanez. Nine two-out runs. Sitting there like a gaffed fish in front of the radio, I mused that at least one Mets fan somewhere out there must have needed an extended bathroom trip, thought to himself, "eh, two outs and it's Johan," and emerged some time later to assume his TV had broken. It's always faintly shocking when a starter unravels this quickly and thoroughly, but to see it happen to Santana was almost unimaginable — and deeply disturbing.
(Update: Rewrote the conclusion, because what I wrote originally was emotional and dumb.)
And then, after that 28-pitch disaster, the Mets had one baserunner for the rest of the night. One walk. No hits. Not one.
I don't think that says anything about character or guts or anything else. Teams go through five-inning stretches without hits. It happens. If the Mets had had their hitless spell in the beginning of tonight's game, and come back from 11-0 to get slightly less tar beaten out of them, we'd be tempted to talk about their Never Say Die attitude. But that would be silly. So, therefore, would be trying to measure their character by snarking that their response to Santana's getting walloped all over creation was to mount a Gandhi-esque civil disobedience campaign, minus the high moral standing. Even though it's tempting.
So let's just leave it at this: It sure was horrible to watch.

Mother of Huron player injured in high school football brawl: 'It's just terrible'
Photo courtesy of Debbie Harris
Previous coverage: One victim sent to hospital, no arrests made after on-field brawl at Huron, Pioneer football game
The mother of the Huron High School football player that went to the hospital following Friday night's brawl at Riverbank Stadium says her son is resting at home, but is feeling the effects of the fight.
Debbie Harris of Ann Arbor said her son, Will Harris, a junior at Huron, was kicked in the face by a Pioneer player and a crutch also was swung at her son during the fight.
"Everything is on tape. We were fortunate to see part of the tape. We do know who exactly kicked and who swung the crutch," Debbie said. "They are two different people, both Pioneer players."
The result of the attack required Will to receive five stitches on his left cheek. He also has numerous scratches that run along the side of his face and down to his neck, and he is experiencing concussion-like symptoms, which the family is monitoring.
Debbie, who watched the incident unfold from her seat in the stands then reviewed the video later, said her son was not involved in the fighting.
"My son did not throw a punch. One of his teammates was involved in a scuffle and (Will) pulled a Pioneer player off of him. He was trying to defuse that situation," Debbie said. "When he fell to the ground is when a Pioneer kid came up and kicked him in the face with a cleat."
Daniel Brenner | Annarbor.com
"These are kids from Pioneer and Huron that he has known his whole life. He's played basketball and football and other sports together (with them for) his whole life. Yeah, they compete against each other, but they're friends," Debbie said.
The fight started after the Pioneers defeated Huron 35-6. As the Huron head coach Cory Gildersleeve and Pioneer head coach Paul Test met at midfield for their post-game handshake, a fight broke out between the two teams that involved players and coaches.
Test and Gildersleeve have each given different accounts of what exactly started the physical contact between the two schools, igniting the brawl.
Debbie said that her family has received lots of support from coaches and administrators at Huron. They've called to check on Will's condition.
As much as the physical pain is bothering Will, the ugliness of the incidents is also hurtful.
"My son is upset and embarrassed for his team and school," Debbie said.
Harris would not say if the family will be taking legal action following the injuries sustained by Will.
"Its just terrible, it's a terrible thing that happened at a kids game," Debbie said. "Some of them are big and grown and look like men, but they are kids. This is a kid's game.
"When did it come to this? When did it become more than a football game?
"They came to our field and substantially beat us. Just shake hands and go home."
Tue, Oct 16, 2012 : 12:21 a.m.
"When did it come to this? When did it become more than a football game?" When schools decided their main focus was on sports rather than education.
Tue, Oct 16, 2012 : 12:28 a.m.
...and that winning games is more important than succeeding academically. That's why we see better sporting scores than meap test results.
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 9:12 p.m.
"My son did not throw a punch. One of his teammates was involved in a scuffle and (Will) pulled a Pioneer player off of him. He was trying to defuse that situation," Debbie said. "When he fell to the ground is when a Pioneer kid came up and kicked him in the face with a cleat." WORD TO THE WISE: If you don't want to be involved, don't get involved. How many times have we read about the innocent "peacemaker" who was stabbed, shot, etc. in a fight? If you're going to get involved in a fight, you should be prepared to fight.
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 2:38 p.m.
The players and coaches all need to be disciplined. I watched Coach Gildersleeve's antics when he was at Dundee.Don't know if i'd let my kid play for him.
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 2:19 p.m.
Some Huron orchestra players moved some counselors' mattresses and sleeping bags at camp in August, not causing any damage. An inquiry ensued until 3 am, the night before the concert. Some kids were sent home from camp early, a meeting of parents and kids was called, and students wrote letters of apology and did community service. If coaches, players and kids and the stands were physically fighting on Friday, it sounds like a riot, with some getting seriously hurt. It will be interesting to see if the consequences in each case are to scale with the seriousness of each incident.
Tue, Oct 16, 2012 : 11:28 a.m.
You should repeat this comment on the story concerning the suspensions or super's reaction. It is an important valid point but I'm afraid it won't be seen in this older story.
say it plain
Tue, Oct 16, 2012 : 2:02 a.m.
Great info and what a fascinating contrast it will be to the 'consequences' we are likely to see for these football kids. Didn't AAPS just cut the band camp money out of the budget too? The couple thousand that they had been spending on having kids develop their musical skills? But they declined to cut freshman football teams because it would be too "dangerous" to have kids start as freshmen in JV?!
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 7:06 p.m.
Prevention anyone? Do we need to more carefully screen the backgrounds of our staff/coaches/assistances in the public education system? Would we have found that some of these people are unsuitable for the job description?
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 6:32 p.m.
I sure hope the administrators and MHSAA take a look at the players' twitter accounts. I am appalled by the amount of backslapping and highfiving going on from both teams. Just pick a player and click on the web of followers. You can see that their thuggish attitudes won't change until they are severely disciplined.
say it plain
Tue, Oct 16, 2012 : 1:58 a.m.
And just as a note to @YpsiGirl4Ever. I hope any kids you know, and adults as well, understand that social media is *hugely* used as evidence in all manner of 'investigation'.
Steve Coatney
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 11:54 p.m.
@YpsiGirl: Evidence is evidence. Good grief. These are BIG KIDS who got into a major brawl along with their ADULT coaches. Argue all you want over what the punishment should be, but not over the gathering of evidence to determine that punishment.
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 7 a.m.
Now where penalizing students based on Twitter accounts? Really? Didn't the story reference that videotapes of the emlee are available? That is more than enough evidence. Let's leave KIDS social media profiles out of it.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 5:20 p.m.
No arrests? Ann Arbor and Michigan will now be in the national spotlight, and it is critical that the legal system operates swiftly and holds everyone accountable to the maximum penalties provided by law. This is equivalent to domestic violence action/law, except that those responsible are the coaches, staff, and leaders/athletes. Each and everyone involved (the students/athletes and staff/coaches) should be identified on video, arrested, charged and processed according to the law. This is way beyond the policy jurisdiction of the superintendant, administrators, board, principal, athletic director, and staff. This is plain and simple an act of assault and battery, to be dealt with by the law, with the maximum penalties applied up to and including criminal penalties and jail/prison time. You can be sure that our zero tolerance policy and law for domestic violence is a model here. If we do anything short of charging and prosecuting everyone involved, then we will see this again in the future. If everyone who was guilty of fighting is charged with criminal assault and battery, without any "easy judgements" we are sure this kind of thing won't happen again. Ann Arbor and Michigan is now in the national spotlight, and it is critical that the legal system operates responsibly and holds everyone accountable to avoid a repeat. If Ann Arbor schools hired responsible staff and coaches, then the staff and coaches need to stand up to the challenge and admit their guild and accept the maximum penalty provided by law. This will ensure Michigan schools and the rest of the country will not see this kind of incident again.

I agree with your sentiment that the coaches responsible need to be accountable for their actions and should either stand up and admit guilt, or resign for failure to comply with the rules and standards set forth by the Athletic Department and MHSAA. We all have bad days on and off the field but when it gets to this point you've crossed the line and it's time to re-evaluate whether or not coaching is the right profession. Sadly this is a good example of how impulsive behavior and spouting off at the mouth can have disastrous results.

At onr time AA schools were the cream of the crop they alwase had the best of the best in their programs. In the last few years they removed millions from the programs in the district . It looks like to me they were buying teams now the money is gone so are the morals of the staff and players. In past years the AA teams ran up the scores at all their games I remember Lincoln looseing 60+ to 0 many times with no problems. HEY AA WAKE UP WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING it is what you learn as a student athlete about respect and compition that counts.

I feel like my comments here would be less misinterpreted if I mainly critiqued the Pioneer program lol. But, of course, whenever a system encourages 'rivalries' and demands/expects winning, there is the chance that *this* is what will be the end-result, what people are claiming they see in the Pioneer program lately, but perhaps saw in some other school's program at some other point in time... namely, a model of competition that is totally at odds with civility. I wish that *all* US school spending on these kinds of programs were curtailed, I am not meaning to single out AAPS. Not all schools or school systems create the kind of situation that seems to exist with Pioneer these days, obviously. But it is a danger born of the beast that is any one of these big over-emphasized sports-- you know, the kinds that have associated cheerleading squads!

I was just thinking the same thing, having grown up in Ypsi. There is always a err of superiority coming from Ann Arbor when compared to Ypsilanti. This goes to show that there are people with poor judgement and uncivilized behavior everywhere. With that being said, Will Harris is my cousin, and I know him. He is an excellent athlete, yet a very mild mannered young man. He was raised in a family that has an enormous sports focus and has been taught how to play fair and conduct himself with good sportsmanship since birth. As a character reference for Will and his entire family, I can guarantee that he was an innocent victim in this unfortunate event, as videos of the incident clearly show.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 1:40 p.m.
Hope Mr. Harris recovers soon and can get on with enjoying the rest of the school year. His mother is absolutely correct, after a game you should 'just shake hands and go home.' Unfortunately Pioneer's roguish staff teaches their kids to not shake hands after the game - look straight ahead and keep walking. Having seen both of these teams play - Huron is a never give up team that plays very hard, but never crosses the line. Pioneer, different story. Unfortunate event here, hope appropriate measures are taken.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 6:11 a.m.
For those mentioning the cost of AAPS sports programs and specifically the football program. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think, that the sports programs budget is covered by all those college football fans coming into the Big House across the street. I specifically remember hearing that the Pie high football field (field turf) was paid for by parking revenue.
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 1:27 p.m.
There is not a lot of transparency in AAPS for the athletic budget, or the Boosters budget as well. However, as parents we pay athletic fees for our kids to play each year, and most sports we pay a lot more money to participate. The most expensive sports my kids have been involved in are football, and crew. If Tag is implying that football parking covers all the sports programs, he is incorrect.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 6:22 p.m.
Not only that, but the coaching staff is paid peanuts for doing this. They are doing it because they love it, practically for free. From what I understand, there have been really deep cuts to Huron's football program and athletic programs.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 5:20 p.m.
No one can correct you because there is not TRUE transparency for the AAPS athletic budget.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 5:31 a.m.
It will be very interesting to see how this is handled. First, from an officials standpoint, was this still under the juristiction of the officials. If it was, young Mr. Harris is in violation of MHSAA policy by joining into the fight. The MHSAA's policies are very clear, that when you move into the altercation area, you are part of the altercation, and as such, are ejected from the contest which carries a minimum 1 game suspension. Officials juristiction is maintained generally until all officials have left the field of play and have filled out all required paperwork regarding the contest. Second, I'm pretty sure young Mr. Harris, while possibly attempting to do the right thing, was in violation AAPS policy. This should result in a suspension for him because he did get invovled. Finally, the AAPS administration need to review all available videotapes from this and determine EACH and EVERY person invovled and issue appropriate punishments.

When I was in elementary and Jr. High school, I saw and my fair share of fights and participated in a few. By high school, fighting was rarer since both sides had much more to lose as guys had become much stronger. Hitting someone when he was down was not done, and certainly not via a kick to the face when someone was down. Our brains and morals had developed enough by 6th grade to know not to do that. Especially not a kick to the face while wearing cleats. This can't be excused by comments such as adolescent brain development or testosterone or boys-will-be-boys. I'd hate to think of what the person who did the kicking or swung the crutch might do in the future if he faces no serious discipline after this. I wonder if some that are making comments, calling it a "minor scuffle" would feel the same it they had received the blow, and the scar on the face? I strongly doubt it.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 12:01 a.m.
This is all blown out if proportion. The players were backing up their respective coaches, and although it got out of hand, all that happened is a kid had to get some stitches. So what. I do not condone what happened, but instead of scolding the players and programs for losing control for a couple minutes, how about you ask yourself why you are so grieve stricken from a couple stitches. Some families have had much worse situations then this but this is the story that everyone talks about.
Sat, Oct 13, 2012 : 11:12 p.m.
Wait....did he actually get "stitches" or did they just glue it? I haven't heard of them using stitches in several years now...stitches tend to leave additional holes.
Sat, Oct 13, 2012 : 11:11 p.m.
If you were fighting and somoeone grabbed you, what would your reaction be? Especially if you weren't an adult and looking on in hindsight? Equally, if you saw your friend in a fight, what would your reaction be? Especially if you weren't an adult and looking on in hindsight? These are kids. And by all accounts, their coaches set a poor example. Cut them some slack. Sure there needs to be some consequences, but to portray this kid as the victim and other as villains just because he ended up with an injury that needed treating is ridiculous. He got unlucky. It could have been any one of the players on either team. The "victim" joined the fight, he could have walked away. Bad decision, but he's a teenager -that's what they do. The "gulit" is shared equally by any player who touched another during the confrontation. No matter what their injuries were.
Sat, Oct 13, 2012 : 11:51 p.m.
While you make good points, as someone else has stated in one of these stories, AAPS has a ZERO tolerance for physical altercations. If two kids get in a fight, they BOTH get suspended, doesn't matter who started it. While I don't necessarily agree with it, rules is rules. If the school cuts the football players slack, they will look like they are playing favorites.

Still say this is no big deal. A fight breaks out, a few minor scratches, and an entire group of excitable people want to see coaches fired, players suspended, and seasons ended. What would you expect of a bunch of testosterone filled young guys and a long running rivalry where one team gets embarrassed with such a defeat. A year from now and this will mean absolutely nothing. Sheltered people living sheltered lives.

Creating distractions from the issues and reaffirming what happened doesn't serve anyone. You could get a cushy job in basic cable news, but you're still wrong. As someone who has been in a past Pioneer/Huron skirmish (spring 1992), no one was spiked in the face and hit with a crutch. That was a non-issue, this Test vs. Gildersleeve is clearly an issue.

"The AD's are overpaid by about 75K, for one. You just don't know how hard it is to schedule sporting events....You have to hire coaches, talk to people, omg. The list goes on and on. Wait. Someone who makes about $10 per hour can do this same thing." This comment couldn't be farther from the truth. The Athletic Director works about 60-70+ hours per week if not more! On top of that they get to field hundreds of phone calls from angry parents over playing time, playing time and more playing time. Then they field emails and phones calls from coaches answering questions. Then they get to figure out how to run 21+ programs with limited funding while funding cuts are always on the table. How many kids have benefited from athletic programs in AAPS? THOUSANDS. Add in the staffing of coaches, evaluating coaches, monitoring programs, games, helping answer questions regarding eligibility, etc. Sorry but until you have actually been part of running an athletic program don't underestimate the daunting responsibilities of the job. I have returned from meets at the school at 11pm to still see the AD in her office working. They work all the time not to mention their funding for staff was also cut so the office staff is also completely overworked. I've grown tired of the complaints over the Athletic Offices in AAPS. They are working nonstop to keep as many programs up and running to benefit as many kids as possible. Ann Arbor offers many athletic opportunities for kids so let's show some appreciation for the massive efforts that two people in each Athletic Office are doing. Don't throw the AD's under the bus because of stupid irrational and impulsive decisions by grown men during a football game.

I must reply to some comments since they are aimed at my son and myself. First, I didn't say my son knows ALL the Pioneer players, but having lived here his entire life, he knows a great deal of them. Some are good friends, former teammates, and some have reached out to us to express their embarrassment and sadness about the fight. Second, if YOU personally don't know my son or myself, then please do not use our name or make comments or assumptions or accusations about us. My son took his helmet off because the game was OVER, he was headed over to go shake hands as is done after every game. That is when the fight broke out. Someone stated that they saw my son punch a kid in the stomach....that post has since been deleted. I tell you this, that is a blatant lie and is slander. I challenge you to prove that. Do not make false claims that affect a 16 year old kid's life. You're the adult. I did not name names nor did I make any claims as to what took place in the fight, other than what happened to my son specifically. My accounting can all be proven by the film which I'm sure will make the rounds. Pioeer players have been on Twitter recounting the fight and have admitted to what they've done.....to which I say thank you!!! They have named names of who did what, and referred to one of their players "swung his crutch over that n**** head." Really? So this is what we are dealing with, the taunting, the ridiculous and brazen aftermath by some individuals that this is acceptable and all in fun. We did not contact AnnArbor.com, they found my son's name on twitter and contacted us. Read my statements, they are general and only in regards to my child, not anyone elses. We have also been contacted by all the television stations to which we have declined. This is my child, he loves playing football, he hopes to go to college and his future and reputation are at stake when people throw his name around without having facts to support their accusation

Just a concerned family member here... Been a long time since my son played football in High School but this whole disturbing episode has brought back some very unpleasant memories. There is a very big difference in injuries sustained while participating in a sport and injuries which are intentionally inflicted upon another athlete post game time. When my son played high school football in Arizona, a student athlete was intentionally cleated in the face and head by a member of the opposing team (also caught on tape). The athlete who inflicted the injuries was tried as an adult and went to jail for assault with a deadly weapon. Just sayin'.... Will, I'm very sorry for the painful injuries you sustained. No child/young man deserves to go through this no matter what the critics are saying here. You are, and have always been a gifted athlete and a super person. Your family is proud of you for demonstrating incredible self restraint and integrity. Keep on keepin' on!

"As a parent, I think we need to step back, and let the professionals investigate....." My concern is whether a fair up front investigation will happen or whether PR/image/ whatever will water down the events. I see two separate issues. Potential "crimes" that would fall under a police investigation versus a school system debating suspensions, expulsions, firings, etc. I worry more about the latter than the former.
Sat, Oct 13, 2012 : 8:20 p.m.
As a parent of three teenagers in one of the two named A2 high schools, I would not have given any type of interview. The facts have not been released by the AAPS, or the A2PD. There has been a lot of bad-mouthing on both sides in these articles...A2.com is just looking for hits on each and every story related to this event. As a parent, I think we need to step back, and let the professionals investigate. It's obvious where our allegience as parents lie, with our kids of course. You are certainly entitled to give an interview, but you had to expect a backlash of comments from the professional armchair quarterbacks, armed with their laptops. I'm sorry your son was injured so badly, and I hope he makes a full recovery.

According to school policy your son should not have gotten involved in the altercation that was ensuing. He helped one of his team mates and under school policies he should have sought out and reported the incident to someone of authority and let them handle it. This is part of the zero tolerance policies in place now. So I'm sure your son will have to face some disciplinary action due to his involvement even though he was injured. Something similar to this happened to my son and he was suspended for defending himself.............good luck
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 12:28 p.m.
I had the misfortune of getting jumped by a former teammate teh day of my lst high school football game. I was cornered after getting a drink from the fountain and was against a wall so I fought my way out of the corner, I got suspended and was not allowed to play in the game. Unfortunate this happened to your son, VERY unfortunate pioneer likes to run up the score on other teams and especially bad that the huron coach couldn't be a grown up and not get into an altercation with the pioneer coach. the player from Pioneer that kicked Harris should be suspended from school and kicked off the football team PERIOD, same with whoever swung the crutch. a kid laying on the ground and you kick them in the face you need to go and why pioneer hasn't already acted on that is dusgusting, same with whoever swung the crutch as a weapon. those are future inmates doing things like that, shows a total lack of knowing right and wrong. I would file charges and make damn sure those kids never represented my school again.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 12:28 a.m.
People should not be punished for defending themselves, or for trying to get others out of the situation. I'm not sure how the guidelines here could have been followed because it seems "someone of authority" actually started this thing.
Sat, Oct 13, 2012 : 7:25 p.m.
I am in NO WAY saying I believe this is what happened here. And I have been as outspoken as anyone( almost) about how wrong this incident was. But let me give you a scenario. A brawl breaks out on a football field a player from team A and team B start fighting. The player from team A started the fight. And then proceeds to get his clock cleaned and goes to the hospital for repairs. Is the player from team B still the criminal?
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 1:12 p.m.
JCJ, the law says that it doesn't matter who started the fight. You can defend yourself, but can't clean someone's clock if you are not at risk. There are fights where both participants get charged with assault.

It's inexcusable that a student-athlete could do something like was done to him--if tape shows that a Pioneer player kicked him in the face, that another hit him with a *weapon* essentially of a big long stick that a crutch represents, then the whole Pioneer football program should be ended for the year, surely!

Stop paying our tax dollars to football coaches. Stop spending MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of AAPS TIGHT BUDGETS on Varsity Sports. Did having an athletic director for Pioneer *and* Huron help them with the ethics and sportsmanship of their program over there at Pioneer where they'd been running up scores all season?! More so than at, say, school districts who get by with only *one* 100K/yr administrator per highschool sports system?! Just let the kids who want to play violent games for violent guys do so on *their own dime* and let us educate our kids instead of get them worked up over offensive plays on a field we spend too much money to maintain. Just enough. Spend the money on gym classes for fitness *and FUN* for more of our AAPS students. You might distinguish yourself enough from the other schools in the area enough to get more bodies in the buildings and make a couple bucks to boot, Dr. Green! The "student-athletes" can learn how to be jerks and adrenaline-controlled dweebs in any of the 'ordinary' districts...let's truly live up to our marketing moniker of "ExtrAAordinary"!
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 8:55 p.m.
I'm not sure how much it cost AAPS for football but I do know that often times high school football is revenue neutral--- they bring in more money than is spent on the sport and when you add in concession sales ( booster clubs) they bring in much more.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 5:39 a.m.
Pioneer has been running the scores up all season huh. Have you actually watched any Pioneer games? They have two big wins this season 69-0 over Dexter and 50-0 over Skyline. Those two opponents have something in common. They are both pretty bad football programs. There is a balance that needs to be struck in sports. You need to get the players adequate playing time without running up the score. In both games, the second and third string players for Pioneer played significant minutes and did a portion of the scoring. You can't tell these players not to try. The simple fact is, Pioneer has a very solid program and the teams they've "run it up on" are not good. When Pioneer has played decent opponents they haven't run up the score, and have been beaten handily by a couple of them. Now as for the idea of sports and why schools have them. There is a significant portion of the population that only attends school because they play sports. Sports are not only an escape, but also the path to a potential future that may not exist otherwise. Sports are a great motivator for students.

Don't attack sports because you don't like the bullet heads who run them. Just like others shouldn't deride chess because it does not have macho cache. Many great lessons can be learned from sports and the competition involved. However, the schools need to find coaches who can properly do this truly difficult job. Ultimately while winning feels great and losing stinks there is more at stake here. Moreover, if parents don't buy into this then they can stay away or pull their kids.

Pioneer's head coach should be suspended for next season at the very least. An absolute dreadful display of bad sportsmanship all the way around. The kids should have never been witness to this. I'm ashamed to have my kids associated with this nonsense. It's an embarrassing for the entire Ann Arbor Public School system. A very dark day indeed.

I would imagine that Gildersleeve would be in trouble in any case, but agree that both coaches should face significant consequences.

you've summed it up perfectly...probably the best comment on this incident that I've read

There need to be arrests in cases like these, not just school-issued discipline.
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 : 9:17 p.m.
Arrests? What's the charge - injuring a person's sensibilities? I can't help but enjoy the "holier-than-thou-art" commentary here. A bunch of sanctimonious individuals who either never felt the competitive athletic drive, or is just too old to even remember if they ever had one. Oh ya I know, "true competitors can control themselves." This would be exactly the sort of comment I'd expect hear from an individual who never found themselves to be a true competitor. But the memory of "glory days" are hard to erase. This was a game, played by physically fit and aggressive young men who generally wanted to win. Feelings get hurt, and a few punches are thrown. No big deal. The kid with the gash on his face will get over it, just like everybody else does.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 7:39 p.m.
Any player that entered the field after this altercation started knew that there was a possibility of getting hurt. Don't whine after taking a couple of shots after throwing a few of your own. Some of these commenters would have the "death penalty" brought back to handle this simple scuffle.

Are you out of your mind? Do you know anything about the development of the brain of an adolescent? You want to give these kids crimainal records for what amounted to a minor scuffle? Kids get stiches all of the time doing stupid things, but giving them a criminal record? Really???????? The school is more than capable of handling this and they should..........

Assault with a weapon is a crime, whether it's on a football field or not.

Arrests might be a little much in my opinion. Legal action of some sort? Probably going to happen. Adults getting fired? Probably going to happen. Kids getting disciplined? Definitely going to happen, and rightfully so. But it is sad when adults forget that kids are following our lead. KIDS.
Sat, Oct 13, 2012 : 5:47 p.m.
these football player need to be disciplined , the pick kids in hall ways and the fields of Dreams!
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 7:37 p.m.
Treat this like any other legal situation of violence. Investigate, prosecute, trial, consequences of probation/rehabilitation or prison. When people know these actions will be followed up with investigations and legal consequences, the behavior will generally IMMEDIATELY change. Let it go in two weeks, and another incident along with greater liability will be on the hands of the AAPS administration, local, and state law enforcement. And a bigger national story will begin to develop, including the reputation of AAPS, MHAA, local, and state law enforcement. Anyone seen the recent documentaries about increasing school violence, bullying, and the unintended but logical consequences?
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 : 10:57 a.m.
The discipline needs to start with the AD's. They aren't the instigators on the field. But, the AD's aren't good role models, at least the two that were there before. They don't know what they don't know.

MicroRNA and host gene play key role in regulating cholesterol pathways
Study identifies potential new strategy for raising "good" cholesterol levels
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have identified tiny segments of RNA that may play an important role in the body's regulation of cholesterol and lipids. Their study found that the miR-33 family of microRNAs suppress a protein known to be important for generation of HDL — the "good cholesterol" that transports lipids to the liver for disposal — and for the removal of cholesterol from peripheral tissues, including cells that form atherosclerotic plaques. The findings — which will appear in Science and are receiving early online publication — suggest that the miR-33-mediated pathway could be a new treatment target for cardiovascular diseases.
"Our study shows that miR-33a and -33b — microRNAs embedded in the genes of the SREBP family of cholesterol/lipid-regulators — work together with their host genes to control cellular cholesterol levels," says Anders Näär, PhD, of the MGH Center for Cancer Research, who led the study. "Importantly, miR-33 is also the first microRNA found to modulate cholesterol export from cells and to inhibit HDL production in animals. This new understanding of cholesterol regulation could inform ongoing efforts to boost HDL levels in heart disease patients." Näär is an associate professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School.
Cholesterol is an essential component of all cells and several important hormones, but cholesterol levels that are out of balance or too high overall lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that cause heart attacks or strokes. Excessive particles of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, often called "bad cholesterol") can be taken up by macrophages in the bloodstream, which transforms the immune cells into the lipid-laden "foam cells" that make up plaques. High-density lipoprotein (HDL or "good cholesterol") transports lipids away from cells back to the liver for disposal, and low HDL levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
Among the mechanisms known to regulate production of cholesterol are SREBPs (sterol regulatory element-binding proteins) that control the expression of several genes. While these proteins' role in cholesterol generation is well understood, little is known about the part they play in the removal and clearance of cholesterol and other lipids. The MGH/HMS team had previously found a family of microRNAs — tiny RNA segments that can control gene expression — in non-coding segments of SREBP genes in animals from fruit flies to humans. The researchers then sought to determine the function of two forms of this microRNA family — called miR-33a and -33b — and whether they relate to the functions of the SREBP host genes.
A series of experiments indicated that miR-33a and -33b inhibit ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1), a protein known to be important for both the generation of HDL and for transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues — including foam cells — back to the liver for disposal. Particular variants and mutations in the ABCA1 gene have been associated with increased risk of heart disease. The researchers also found that treating cholesterol-laden mouse macrophages with antisense RNA strands that block miR-33 activity increased levels of ABCA1 and reduced cellular cholesterol levels. Injecting the same miR-33-antisense molecules into mice fed a high-fat diet led to significant increases in the animals' HDL levels but had no effects on levels of LDL, triglycerides or glucose.
"Our discovery that miR-33 acts in concert with its SREBP host to maintain cholesterol levels appears to be the first known example of cooperative regulation of a physiological pathway by a microRNA and its host gene," explains Näär. "These studies also provide the impetus to investigate whether this novel cholesterol-regulatory mechanism might serve as a therapeutic target to treat cardiovascular disease."
"These studies are particularly timely since the development of drugs targeting the 'good' HDL pathway has been challenging," adds Robert Gerszten, MD, director of Clinical and Translational Research, MGH Heart Center, a co-author of the Science paper.
The study was supported by grants from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the American Heart Association, the Fondation Leducq, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Hani Najafi-Shoushtari, PhD, of the MGH Cancer Center, is lead author of the Science article. Additional co-authors are Fjoralba Kristo and Toshi Shioda, MD, PhD, MGH; and Yingxia Li and David Cohen, MD, PhD, Brigham and Women's Hospital.

How To Improve Your Home's
Curb Appeal
Michael Healy Decorative Doorbell
When people have lived in their house for a while, they tend to overlook its cosmetic flaws. They might no longer notice chips in the exterior paint, the overgrown shrubs in the garden or Christmas lights still hanging from the eaves.
Most homeowners, when they've lived in their house a number of years, don't see what a new eye would see, she said. They can't see the little things. Those little things can make or break a home's curb appeal, which is vital when selling a home. Picky potential buyers make up their minds within the first 10 seconds of seeing a home's exterior whether they want to see what's inside.
That is important to note because Web savvy buyers are using the Internet to research houses for sale. They're looking at online pictures of homes and driving by properties they might interested in. Staging can help home sellers get top dollar for their property. A professional stager will go through every room in the home, as well as the rear and front yards. Stagers note that the way people live in their home and the way a home is presented when it's on the market are two different things. While the homeowners' collection of porcelain dolls might look good to them, buyers might consider it clutter.
I don't recommend people go out and spend a lot of money on staging props. I prefer to use items sellers already have. If more accessories are needed, such as plants, she works within the seller's budget. She has spent as little as $50 to $100 to successfully stage a home. We got interested in home staging when we sold our first house, a 1,400-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath cottage style house in the Pocono Mountain area of Pennsylvania. Before putting the house on the market, the property got a makeover. Ripping out aging, unattractive shrubs and replaced them with newer ones. Also adding more vibrant, colorful flowers.
Next, repainting the house's exterior in pastels to enhance its cottage style design. They painted the front door dark green to make it stand out and added a kickplate and new hardware for extra flair.
That house sold for above asking price the same day it went on the market. The house was listed for three hours before a buyer made an offer.
To gauge your home's curb appeal, start by looking at it while standing across the street. What do you notice?
What is your eye drawn to? For those who can no longer "see" what their house really looks like, they might enlist someone who can, whether it's a professional or a trusted friend. Next, take stock of the different parts and area of the exterior.
Are the shrubs and lawn overgrown? If so, trim back the shrubs and mow the lawn. Get rid of plants that look as if they're on their last leg. This would be a good time to remove plants damaged during January's cold snap. Get rid of
any unsightly weeds. Those about to put their home on the market might consider hiring a gardener or landscaper to maintain the yard if they don't have the time to keep it consistently tidy. Add color. Evergreen landscapes are fine,but adding a little color can go a long way. Add some colorful annuals to the beds.
Dress up a worn front door with a fresh coat of paint and/or new hardware, such as a
decorative handle, kickplate or knocker.
Is your welcome mat more worn than welcoming? If so, replace it.
If space allows, add containers with plants of varying height (something tall with something that cascades over the sides).
Get a new address plate or find fancier numbers to use for your address.
If space allows, add a small bench or other seating on the porch or inside the doorway so guests have a place to sit.
Jazz up a plain door with a wreath. An already ornate door can be left alone if its design is striking. Give the exterior a good cleaning with a pressure washer. Wash the windows. Declutter. If you have too many accessories, pots, flags or other doodads in front of the house, pare it down. Less is more.

Tom Curran of Comcast SportsNet New England reports that Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to return from his fractured left forearm in Week Seventeen against the Dolphins. Per Curran, Gronkowski will be "suited up" and available for "at least a limited role," likely in a playoff-tuneup capacity.
Gronkowski has been out since Week Eleven, when he fractured the arm blocking on special teams in the fourth quarter of a 59-24 blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots have scored at least 34 points in three of the ensuing five games, but Gronkowski is their best skill-position player aside from quarterback Tom Brady and will give an already lethal offense a major postseason boost.
Gronkowski has been particularly dominant as a run blocker when healthy this season. Still just 23 years old, he is the premier tight end in all of football.

First Night 2009
Ringing in the new year doesn't need to be an adults-only party. Instead, welcome 2010 with a celebration of family-friendly arts, music and theater at the 23rd annual First Night.
This year's schedule, a mix of yearly favorites and all new acts, features an eclectic – to say the least – group of performers such as the Springfield Ballet Company, Mark Gifford and his Barton Theater organ and the Springfield International Folk Dancers at the Lincoln Era Ball.
Bands and artists like The Emerald Underground, Ultraviolet and IT's own Tom Irwin will be taking the various stages throughout the evening. At the Vachel Lindsay Home, there will be multiple performances of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's seminal feminist short story, The Yellow Wallpaper. This particular production is not suitable for children, but there are plenty of activities fit for the whole family.
In the afternoon, there will be activities for kids, followed by performances by the DePriest Puppets troupe, with selections from the Muni Opera in the evening.
And, of course, what would First Night be without its midnight fireworks display? Right up until the first week of December, it was a very-near reality. Initially, due to budget constraints, this annual show had been cancelled, but Brother James Court saved the day by donating a fireworks display they themselves had received as a donation. The fireworks will go on as usual.
Many downtown bars and restaurants will be open after midnight, so the last firework doesn't mean the end of the festivities.
Proceeds from First Night benefit the programs of the Springfield Area Arts Council, such as grants, social services agencies and arts resources, as well as the Arts-In-Education program.

Obama administration delays decision on Keystone XL oil pipeline
WASHINGTON — A decision on whether to build a pipeline from Canada's oil sands to Texas will be delayed, probably until 2013, to allow time to consider rerouting a section in Nebraska, the State Department announced Thursday.
The requirement for a new environmental impact statement and more public comments means the decision won't be made until after the 2012 elections. Controversy over the pipeline created a headache for the Obama administration, but the delay might not end it.
The proposed Keystone XL pipeline has become a textbook example of an issue that pits environmentalists against energy developers. Environmentalists have made the pipeline a test case of whether President Barack Obama will fight climate change. The pipeline would ensure decades of an increased supply of a form of oil that produces more heat-trapping emissions than conventional oil does because more energy is needed to extract and refine it.
The State Department said the delay was about the environmental impact on Nebraska, not climate change.
Supporters of the pipeline said Obama was missing an opportunity to create construction and manufacturing jobs and that the U.S. needed Canadian oil.
The president said in a statement that he supported the delay "because this permit decision could affect the health and safety of the American people as well as the environment." He added that he'd promote expanded domestic oil production and "a clean energy economy."
The State Department must decide on the permit for the 1,661-mile pipeline because it would cross the U.S.-Canadian border.
Kerri-Ann Jones, an assistant secretary of state, said the new review wouldn't address concerns about increased greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands. Nor was the pipeline's route over part of the Ogallala aquifer, a vast reservoir beneath the Plains states that's key to regional irrigation, a reason for the delay, she said. The new review will examine only the pipeline's impact on the Sandhills, a large section of north-central Nebraska made up of dunes, wetlands and native grasslands, Jones said.
Environmentalists have faulted the State Department's handling of the issue.
The department let the company that wants to build the pipeline, TransCanada Corp., suggest contractors to help write the environmental impact statement on the project. State Department officials said such a practice was normal and legitimate. The consulting company that wrote the report, Cardno Entrix, found no significant environmental issues and said TransCanada's proposed route was the best choice.
Pipeline opponents charged that the handling of the study, emails between a pipeline lobbyist and a U.S. official at the embassy in Canada and support for the pipeline by a former State Department official showed that the agency had a conflict of interest.
Jones said there was no conflict of interest. She said Cardno Entrix "will be considered as anyone else would be" to write the new environmental impact statement.
Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement that his company wasn't giving up.
"We remain confident Keystone XL will ultimately be approved," he said. "This project is too important to the U.S. economy, the Canadian economy and the national interest of the United States for it not to proceed."
Jack Gerard, the president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, the trade association for the oil industry, cited an industry-backed study that found the pipeline would create 20,000 construction and manufacturing jobs over two years.
"With 9 percent unemployment, the president turning his back on these 20,000 jobs is not good news for the American people," he said.
Bill McKibben, an author and environmentalist who organized protests against the pipeline at the White House, including a large one last Sunday, said: "The American people spoke loudly and today the president responded, at least in part." He said that opponents would resume protests if plans for the pipeline went ahead.

Is the NFL Getting Rid of the Extra Point?
In an interview with the NFL Network's Rich Eisen on Monday's edition of 'NFL Total Access,' NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hinted that the league may get rid of the extra point:
The extra point is almost automatic. I believe we had five missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd (attempts). So it's a very small fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."
Goodell went on to say that one proposal he has heard would give seven points for a touchdown. A team could try to make it eight points by trying to run or pass the ball into the endzone, just like the two-point conversion.
