The National Alliance on Mental Illness of New Jersey (NAMI NJ), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by mental illness, will hold its first conference in Spanish at the St. Joseph of Palisades Community Center in West New York on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The conference, "Mental Health in the Latino Community," was created to offer members of the community the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers about mental illness in their native language, according to Director Martha Silva.
"The problem that I find is that most of these people don't get enough information," said Silva. She said that language and cultural barriers, as well as time constraints, may hinder people in the community from getting educated about mental illness and how to cope with living with a family member with mental illness.
Silva said that the conference will provide comprehensive information.
"This will be given at a level the community understands," she said. "They will be able to hear, speak, express, question in Spanish."
The conference, which includes breakfast, lunch, and two breaks, will cost consumers of mental health services $5, and $10 for all other attendees. People who are interested in attending must register by this Tuesday, Sept. 30 by calling (888) 803-3413. NAMI also runs monthly support groups in this area in both Spanish and English, and those are free.
Four lecturers The conference will include four lectures by experts from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) with time for questions from participants.
Dr. Humberto Marin, an assistant professor of psychiatry, will discuss mood disorders, such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
Francisco Ortiz, LPC, a senior child therapist, will talk about educating and raising kids in a bicultural environment.
"There is going to be communication and advice for parents," said Silva.
Alejandro Interian, Ph.D., an assistant professor of psychiatry, will discuss medication compliance among Hispanic patients.
"He is going to be talking about medication," said Silva. "A big problem of people with mental illness is medication adherence." She also said complying with medicine is often an integral part of therapy.
"What [Interian] is going to try to teach them is how important it is to take the medication correctly," she said.
Dr. Arnaldo Negron, a psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry, will speak about mental health for seniors.
"Families should be aware of the needs of seniors," said Silva. "I just thought that if they hear a doctor who has so much background in senior mental health, it would be an eye-opener."
Talk among yourselves In addition to getting professional advice, participants will also be able to speak with each other during breaks.
"They all have something in common, which is mental illness in their families," said Silva. "It is a support for all of them."
She said that those who come will discover that there are people just like them coping with similar situations.
"Besides the moment of questioning and interacting, it is a moment of seeing," said Silva.
NAMI NJ also offers local support groups and educational services for individuals and families affected by mental illness, conducted both in Spanish and in English. For more information, call (888) 803-3413.

OAKLAND -- Oakland Police confirmed Saturday it was the fifth agency in the Bay Area to receive an envelope filled with white powder in the mail sparking investigations from hazardous materials crews and the FBI.
The unidentified substance, determined not to be hazardous, was discovered sometime early Friday evening, Oakland Police said.
The substance in three other envelopes delivered Friday to police in Hayward, San Leandro and Berkeley was also not hazardous, officials said. A fourth envelope delivered Friday to the Union City Police Department was given over to the U.S. Postal Service and the FBI for more investigation, police Cmdr. Kelly Musgrave said.
Test results weren't available Saturday.
No other police departments reported receiving similar envelopes, but agencies around the Bay Area were alerted to it, Alameda County fire spokeswoman Aisha Knowles said. The substance delivered to San Leandro was baking flour, Lt. Greg Lemmon said, but authorities did not identify the substance found at the other stations.
Authorities also did not say whether they believe the deliveries are connected.
The first discovery was made around 10 a.m. at the Hayward Police Department, when a records clerk sorting through the mail the discovered white powder had leaked out of an envelope station at the station, Hayward fire Capt. Thor Poulsen said.
Police placed the envelope, which had no return address, in an interview room and
Around 11:30 a.m., the Alameda County hazardous materials team tested the substance, determined it was nonlethal, then sealed any items that came into contact with the substance in plastic bags, Poulsen said.
The Hayward station's first floor reopened around 1:30 p.m., police said.
The powder-filled envelope in Berkeley was uncovered by a staff member at the building that houses the police and fire administration on Martin Luther King Jr. Way about 2:17 p.m., police said. Berkeley police immediately called the Berkeley Fire Department, which used a chemical detector to determine the substance wasn't toxic.
"We were able to use a device that could immediately identify what kind of substance we were dealing with, so we were able to know right away that it was nonhazardous," Berkeley Deputy Fire Chief Gil Dong said.
The first floor of the building was evacuated during the investigation. The heating and ventilation systems were closed down, Dong said, and the envelope remained in the room it was discovered behind closed doors.
Union City police officials were alerted by Alameda County Fire officials to be on the lookout for such an envelope, Musgrave said, and they found it around 2 p.m.
This time, Musgrave went looking for the envelope and found it in the mailroom. He said he immediately called the hazardous materials team, and put the envelope in a room separate from any employees.
No injuries were reported in any of the incidents and the people who handled the envelopes have not shown any signs of illness, authorities said.
At least four of the police agencies plan to conduct a joint criminal investigation to find out who mailed the substances to them.
On Saturday Oakland Police had not announced its plans.

T-Birds sign goalie to WHL contract
November 7, 2012 · 1:05 PM
Seattle Thunderbirds general manager Russ Farwell today announced the team has signed goalie Logan Flodell to a standard WHL contract and education agreement.

Flodell was a member of Team Saskatchewan at the Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup played Nov. 1-4 in Calgary. He recorded a 2-0-0 record in two games played, stopping 42 of 46 shots he faced.
He is playing for the Regina Pat Canadians Midget AAA team. He has a 4-1 record through in five games with a 1.80 goals against average and a .922 save percentage. Flodell has played 300 minutes and make 106 saves on 115 shots.
Flodell joins Keegan Kolesar and defenseman Ethan Bear as 2012 Bantam Draft picks who have signed with the T-Birds.

Despite a season littered with impressive performances, the junior varsity lady Scots haven't been able to solve Lumberton in recent weeks.
After losing to Lumberton 52-47 just over a week ago, Scotland hosted the lady Pirates Tuesday night at home. And though it was a game that remained neck-and-neck for nearly the entirety of regulation, the lady Scots (16-2) ultimately allowed Lumberton too many easy baskets down the stretch, falling 51-46 to their conference foe.
Both of the lady Scots' losses this season have come at the hands of Lumberton. And more importantly, Tuesday night's loss saw Scotland fall to second place in the conference behind the lady Pirates.
"It was simply a lack of hustling down the stretch for us tonight," said lady Scots' coach Linda Crosland after the game. "When we miss shots we get down on ourselves, and that translates to our defensive game. We play man defense, and tonight you saw the team letting their assigned player get away from them."
Both teams got off to a slow start in the first quarter, scoring 18 combined points. Scotland guard-forward Qutina Everette led the way with five points in the quarter, but then followed with one of her quietest extended stretches of the season offensively. Everette, who has been a prolific scorer for the lady Scots all season, managed just two points in the second and third quarters combined.
However, even with one of their leading scorers battling through a cold stretch, the lady Scots still managed to keep things knotted in the first half due to the performance of point guard Ashlyn Dial. The freshman guard scored eight points in the second quarter (including 4-5 from the free-throw line) as Scots ended the half tied with Lumberton 24-24.
In the third quarter, however, the lady Pirates began to find seams in the Scotland defense, and a bank shot from lady Pirates' forward Mariah Locklear with just over a minute left in the quarter gave Lumberton a 37-30 lead, the largest of the game for either team. The third quarter ended with Lumberton up 37-32 over the lady Scots.
But Scotland had one last run left in them to make the fourth quarter an intense affair, sparked by the performance of role-player Eriel McDuffie. Coming off the bench for the lady Scots, McDuffie ignited those in attendance by scoring six consecutive points (all layups) which helped Scotland pull to within one with just under six minutes left to play.
McDuffie scored all eight of her points in the fourth quarter.
Everette also came up big in the final minutes after swiping a Lumberton pass to create a successful Scotland fast-break opportunity, as she found Dial in full-stride for the go-ahead basket at the 2:50 mark.
But after the game-changing Dial layup, Lumberton took back control of the game after a pair of layups from Alexis Andrews and Randy Bullard again gave the lady Pirates the five-point advantage. Unfortunately for the lady Scots, the five-point advantage came too late in the contest to mount one more comeback, and the final score stuck as the remaining seconds ticked off the clock.
Scotland has just two games remaining on their schedule: A home-game tonight against non-conference opponent Terry Sanford, and the season-ending game at rival Richmond Friday night.

Kitsch 'N Bitch takes a bite out of comfort foods
By MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY
South Whidbey Record Island Life
January 1, 2013 · Updated 4:58 PM
For some it's a cheesy slice of pizza, for others a hearty bowl of homemade chowder. Then there are those who can polish off a warm apple pie, given there is hand-whipped cream to go with it.
It's comfort food: the delectable, rich-in-calories dishes that have been with us since childhood and the sheer thought of them makes us salivate.
Kitsch 'N Bitch host Sue Frause and guests will take a closer look at some of our all-time favorites in the third installment of this season's Kitsch 'N Bitch at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12 at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts.
Kitsch 'N Bitch is an innovative format for WICA. The live talk shows feature chefs and food lovers, an on-stage cooking demonstration, the house band Deja Blooze, plus a signature cocktail prepared for each show.
The upcoming installment features comfort food because these dishes spread warmth and happiness.
"It's January. We're all supposed to be all about New Years resolutions, but you won't be craving raw vegetables and fruit smoothies. It's cold out there," Frause said.
So what's Frause's favorite?
"Food is comfortable all the time for me," Frause said. Considering that Frause, a travel writer, gets to sample food from around the world during her travels, it is understandable that it is hard to just pick one favorite dish. But she does have one — a classic.
"One Mother's Day, my son wanted to cook dinner for me. He said, 'Mom, what do you want?' It's a movie, BLT and champagne. I love BLTs," she said.
Frause and her guests aim to take the chill off the new year as Dan Saul from Langley's Soup Kitchen will be preparing stone soup; chef Patrick Boin of The Braeburn will create four versions of yummy mac 'n cheese dishes; and Tree-Top Baking's Gerry Betz and Larry Lowary will sweeten things up with a unique take on bread pudding.
Michael McInerney of the Holmes Harbor Rod & Gun Club's Bullwinkle Bar will mix the show's signature Kitsch 'N Bitch drink.
The Kitsch 'N Bitch house band Deja Blooze is responsible for live music. The blues ensemble featuring David Gregor on vocals and lead guitar, Dave Gignac on harp and guitar, Russell Sparkman on bass and Scott Small on drums, spice things up by playing spirited blues classics and originals.
Sounds like a recipe for success, but just as with great dishes, a show like Kitsch 'N Bitch has evolved to become the treat it is today.
Frause is looking back at two seasons of Kitsch 'N Bitch.
"The first show we had 30 people in the audience," Frause recalled. "At our last show we had more than 150. It really has caught on."
Besides having developed a successful format, she has garnered a loyal following, and in 2013 Whidbey TV will begin filming the shows to be aired on the local channel.
The idea was to build on the simple principle that people like food and talk shows and Frause likes to talk about food.
"I wouldn't do it about politics," Frause said. "But food — yes!"
The self-proclaimed foodie knows many people in the culinary arts community both locally and off-island, which ensures that the format continues to draw interesting combinations of guests. And the structure around it seemed like it evolved naturally to complement the format.
"It needed to be like the Tonight Show. We needed a band. Instead of the host's sidekick we decided we needed a house barkeeper," Frause said.
The first half of the show is an unscripted chat about food; the second half of the show includes a cooking demonstration.
"That's what really is fun," Frause said. "When we cooked sausages things caught on fire. You can't predict what happens."
After the show, the audience is invited to join the team on stage to sample the treats.
Tickets are $15 and are available at the WICA ticket office at 360-221-8268.
After the comfort foods installment, Frause will host Seattle chefs for the annual "Seattle Bites" show in April and in June a Father's Day BBQ show is scheduled.

Hi I am trying to improve our bathroom. I pulled up the carpet..Gross! Underneath was lanolium..than old Asbestos tiles!! With tons of mold under the partical kick board that goes around the bottom of the wall. The problem is now I find there is a crack in the cement of the floor! What do I use to fix this before installing tile flooring?? | |||
sounds like you need to do a full gut job on the whole bathroom with that amount of crud. at the least, cut a hole in the wall and look around with a mirror and flashlight. if there is any contamination, figure on a gut job. minor cracks in the floor slab mean nothing unless you flunk a radon gas test. something that would catch and hold a dump truck, now that needs fixing. I'd say anything under a quarter inch should benefit from urethane caulk/sealer labelled as a concrete sealing material. gets costly up to about a half inch, but it could still be done. over a half inch, like maybe an inch crack, you have serious issues. assuming the foundation walls are OK, you might get OK using a chisel to dovetail the bottom of the crack wider, then fill it in with a 5000 psi concrete mix. if there is water entering the crack, use hydraulic cement instead. larger than that, I'd call a contractor to assess the stability of the slab and foundation. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
Thank you for responding! (: Ummmmm.. Looks like I have a lot of work to be done! One other question..if you don't mind? After the repair in concrete..do I lay down some kind of ..something.. before putting in tile? Thank you again!! | ||||
There's almost always small cracks in slabs, not that big a deal unless there really big. Post a picture. That mold could very well have came from the fact some dumb as* installed carpet in a bathroom, a huge no no. joecaption | ||||
IKaryn: That crack won't be a problem unless it's opening and closing, in which case that crack will cause problems with your tiling unless you do something to accomodate that movement. Schluter makes an orange plastic matt that you thin set down to a floor, and then tile directly over that matt. The matt is formed in such a way to allow movement of the concrete under the matt without causing tension or compression on the tiling above the matt. If I recall correctly, Mapei makes a green matt that allows for movement of cracks under the matt without causing tension or compression in the tiling above the matt. If you go to Mapei's web site, you should be able to find a 1-800 phone number for technical support. If you describe the problem, they can tell you how to solve it. Once again, that crack won't be a problem unless it's opening and closing. So, you can't go wrong to assume it is active and put down a movement isolation matt to prevent any such movement affecting your tiling. | ||||
Just mix up a small amount of hydraulic cement and fill it in. Pay close attention to the directions since it hardens very quickly. Make sure the Hcement is level with rest of the floor because it's hard to get off. Since this is a concrete slab just clean it well add the adhesive and tile, then grout and seal. | ||||

Bay Shore Lyric Opera in collaboration with Verisimo Opera
Hear some of Verdi�s most melodious music including his exciting Anvil Chorus sung by Spanish gypsies. It is full of dramatically
powerful scenes: tales of flames at the stake, kidnapping and revenge master-minded by Azucena, the conniving gypsy woman;
a mysterious troubadour and Leonora who loses her heart to him; the drama of war waged on a castle fortress;
and two brothers separated at birth who unknowingly become mortal enemies. Set in Spain in the early 15th century,
the story is told by three separate, intertwining sub-plots, rich with colorful history.

A new podcast featuring Jane Sullivan, PT, DHS, associate professor and assistant department chair in the Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Science at Northwestern University, outlines the process a Neurology Section-appointed task force used in developing preferred outcome measures for patients with stroke.
Widespread use of standardized outcome measures is "lacking," says Sullivan, who describes the task force's charges, the framework chosen to assess the outcome measures, and how the task force determined which outcome measures to review. She also illustrates the objectives achieved in the recommendations generated by the StrokEDGE group.
A transcript accompanies the prerecorded podcast. A list of the task force members and the recommended outcome measures are available on the Neurology Section's website.
Beginning June 1, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will accept suggestions for potential inclusion in the proposed set of quality measures in the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) for future rulemaking years.
Documentation for each measure submitted must be received by 5 pm ET August 1.
Required documentation includes the Measure Submitted for Consideration Form, measure specifications (measure title, description, numerator, and denominator, including exclusions, exceptions, and inclusions), and electronic specification and data tables for electronic health record-specified candidate measures.
Suggesting individual measures or measures for a new or existing measures group does not guarantee that the measure(s) will be included in the proposed or final sets of measures of any proposed or final rules that address PQRS. CMS will determine what individual measures and measures group(s) to include in the proposed set of quality measures. After a period of public comment, the agency will make the final determination with regard to the final set of quality measures for PQRS.
To learn more about the PQRS Call for Measures, visit CMS' Measures Management System webpage, or contact Heather Smith at APTA with questions.
Patients' control of blood pressure improved when their care was provided by a team of health care professionals—a primary care provider supported by a pharmacist, nurse, dietitian, social worker, or community health worker—rather than by a single physician, says the Community Preventive Services Task Force following a review of 77 studies on team-based care. The task force is an independent, nonfederal, uncompensated body of public health and prevention experts, whose members are appointed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The collection of studies showed that team-based care helped increase the proportion of patients with controlled blood pressure, led to a decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and improved outcomes in patients who had diabetes and elevated blood lipids.
Team members supplemented the activities of the primary care provider by providing support and sharing responsibility for hypertension care. Support and responsibility included medication management, patient follow-up, and helping the patient adhere to his or her blood pressure control plan, including monitoring blood pressure routinely, taking medications as prescribed, reducing sodium in the diet, and increasing physical activity, says the task force.
Team-based care is a central pillar of the Million Hearts initiative, launched by the Department of Health and Human Services in September 2011. Million Hearts is a national, public-private initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes over 5 years. The initiative is aligned with the Healthy People 2020 goal to reduce the number of people in the US with high blood pressure. Blood pressure control is 1 of 4 health behaviors targeted by the initiative—the others are aspirin as appropriate, cholesterol management, and smoking cessation.
Many opportunities and challenges are on the horizon for physical therapists as organizations attempt to eliminate health care silos and integrate patient care. In an effort to prepare physical therapists for health care integration, APTA has produced a video series that highlights innovative clinical practice models and the roles that physical therapists can play in today's health care environment. The videos and accompanying handouts can help physical therapists gain insight and inspiration as they look for ways to become involved in new models of care delivery.
Research literature indicates that wellness programs reduce health care costs, with reductions for large firms averaging $3.27 for every dollar spent on wellness programs, says a new policy brief from Health Affairs. In addition, studies show that health promotion programs at organizations of all sizes result in an overall reduction of about 25% in sick leave, health plan costs, and workers compensation and disability costs.
According to the 2011 Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust annual survey of employer health benefits, 67% of companies with 3 or more employees that offered health benefits also offered at least 1 wellness program. Slightly more than half (52%) also offered wellness benefits to spouses or dependents of employees.
Almost all companies with 1,000 or more employees offered 1 type of program. Larger employers usually run wellness programs themselves. For small companies, wellness programs typically are run by the same firms that administer the employer's health benefits plan or by another entity referred to as a third-party administrator.
Typical features of wellness programs are behavior modification programs, such as exercise, weight management, and tobacco cessation; changes in the work environment or provision of special benefits to encourage exercise and healthy food choices, for example, subsidized health club memberships; and health-risk assessments and screenings for high blood pressure and cholesterol health education, including classes or referrals to online sites for health advice.
Although incentives and disincentives prompt workers to participate in wellness programs, the evidence is mixed on whether the result is real improvements in health outcomes, says Health Affairs. To date, there have been no published, independent studies on how changes in premiums or cost sharing affect health outcomes.
The policy brief also includes information about compliance with federal and state requirements, conflict over programs that tie rewards or penalties to individuals achieving standards related to health status, and concerns with privacy issues.
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games are fast approaching. During the games, APTA would like to spotlight member physical therapists (PTs) who have helped the nation's elite athletes prepare to compete on the world's biggest stage. If you work with Olympic athletes and/or will be heading to London to serve on an Olympic team's medical staff, contact Erin Wendel, senior media relations specialist, by e-mail or phone at 703/706-3397 by Monday, May 28, for more details. APTA also intends to use this opportunity to promote the physical therapist's role in helping athletes of all ages and skill levels reach their goals by preventing and treating sports-specific injuries.

This summer we want to give new writers an extra boost to promote themselves and their writing on our website. We are publishing a series of articles to answer the question: Is 2012 the golden age to be a writer?(…or is economic meltdown stifling creativity?) Bearing this theme in mind, we'd like to know if you have any innovative approaches to writing, any strong opinions on the writing or publishing business, or valuable wisdom regarding the tools and techniques you use.

Whether you have been published by a publishing house or are a self-published writer, the person who most wants to get your book out there is YOU. Large publishers are not the marketing and publicity machines that their authors may hope them to be – their expertise lies in producing the book and they generally don't have large amounts of resources to promote it. If you want your book to sell, you need to be the person to make it happen.

Aerosmith Set To Rock East Rutherford
Guitarist opens up about new album and tensions with frontman Steven Tyler.
An Aerosmith ticket stub in good condition from a 1974 concert at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park was recently listed on eBay for more than $300. The hefty price tag can be seen as a testament to the rock icons surviving 40 years of drugs, near break-ups and more drama than an Emmy-winning daytime soap opera.
The drama continues to this day as Aerosmith prepares to rock the Izod Center in Bergen County on Tuesday. The prospect of seeing the Bostonians perform has recently seemed unlikely. Over the past two years it appeared that the band would implode.
In late 2009, after two years of aborted attempts to record the first Aerosmith studio album of all original material since 2001, singer Steven Tyler declared that he was more interested in pursuing solo projects than working with Aerosmith.
Guitarist Joe Perry responded by stating that Aerosmith would look to replace Tyler. Ugly words, and legal salvos, were exchanged.
Tyler and Perry appeared to make up by mid-2010, and Aerosmith was back on stage once again. But tensions flared when Tyler joined the cast of "American Idol" without informing the band, who thought Tyler's next destination was the recording studio rather than a sound stage. (Tyler this month announced he was leaving "Idol" to focus his energies on Aerosmith).
Ultimately, and not for the first time, Aerosmith worked out its differences. Earlier this year the band scheduled recording time around Tyler's "American Idol" commitments and finally completed its 15th studio album. "Music From Another Dimension!" is scheduled to be released on Nov. 6. The album's first single, "Legendary Child," is out now.
We recently spoke with guitarist Brad Whitford about the band's trials and tribulations over the past couple of years and the making of "Music From Another Dimenson!"
Patch.com: With all of the drama between Steven Tyler and the rest of the band over the past 2½ years did you think that Aerosmith's time was coming to an end?
Brad Whitford: We were looking at all sorts of options. We were at odds with Steven. He had made it clear to us that he wanted to work on his own solo thing for a while. And then he signed onto "American Idol." We felt a little bit left in the lurch. We wanted to go out and make music. We felt maybe we could go out and maybe bring in someone else to sing, maybe call it a different name. We talked about it but it never panned out. Things just worked out. I always knew the band would perform again, but I didn't know when or how.
Patch: Was it tough having to record around Steven's "American Idol" schedule?
Whitford: I think it forced us to become a more disciplined unit. We've always had too much time to record and when Seven started his television show we had to plan recording the album around it and executing it because time became a factor.
Patch: You've been trying to make a studio album of all original material for more than a decade. How does it feel to finally have completed that mission?
Whitford: It's a terrific feeling. A great deal of relief and satisfaction to be on the other side of it. We started a couple of times previously to do it and it turned out to be a complete disaster.
Patch: Ultimately Aerosmith chose Jack Douglas to produce "Music From Another Dimension!" (Douglas produced the band's 1970s classics "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks"). What was it like working with him again?
Whitford: It was like putting on a pair of old slippers. It just felt so right. We got to work and the album just came out so good. Everybody in the band contributed music to the album. We're so psyched about it. It's going to blow people's minds. The band sounds and plays better than ever.
Patch: How would you describe the album musically?
Whitford: It's a classic Aerosmith type of record. Everything from hard rock and very powerful music to almost country-type music to beautiful ballads and everything in between.
Patch: The release of "Music from Another Dimension!" was recently pushed back from August to November. Is that frustrating?
Whitford: It's unfortunate. We were going to have the song "Legendary Child" as part of a movie soundtrack that was going to come out this summer and the movie ["G.I. Joe: Retaliation"] was delayed to next year, so the whole marketing campaign that went along with that and the album's release went right down the toilet. So the record company wanted time for a whole new approach and they wanted to get a slot to release the album they thought would be good for it. It'll be worth the wait.
Patch: Do you have any favorite memories of playing in New Jersey?
Whitford: This is where I became a true New York Jets hater. We did a show at the Meadowlands one day and we got to the arena very early because that afternoon the New England Patriots and the Jets were playing next door. So we went to the game. It was bitterly cold and the Jets kicked our butts and ever since that day I don't like the New York Jets. But it was a good day. I got to see a football game and walk across the way and do a rock show.
IF YOU GO: Aerosmith and Cheap Trick, 7:30 p.m. July 24, Izod Center, East Rutherford. Tickets are $49.50, $99.50 and $149.50. 201-935-3900 www.ticketmaster.com.

Glad to see the band back together. Last saw Aerosmith at MSG in New York. Sat in the fourth row. Great concert to go see!!!!!

My husband & I are going. We got VIP package. Meet & Greet the band & great seats 9th row....Can't wait to see my favorite band rock again. Last time I saw them was at the Arena their "Permanet Vacation", my husband never saw them so it will be awesome. for him. I'm so excited it's all I've been thinking about. Will post lots of pics on my FB page.

Billy Mays-I don't know what that person said because they removed it but I got a email message with what you said & your right. I'm excited about going. Thank you for saying what you did. I wasn't saying it to be conceited or anything. I paid a lot for those tickets (more than I should so that my husband & I can have a once in a lifetime experience).

Aerosmith rocked last night. It's laughable that the other members of the band even thought for a second they could replace Steven Tyler!
8:16 pm on Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Bernadette-you are so freakin' right-the band wouldn't have lasted these past 40 years without him. That show was freakin' awesome, glad to hear that you enjoyed as much as we did. Favorite part was them doing "Walk this Way" and "Dream On" the beginning kicked it too.

Top 10 Wikipedia pages of 2012
A Swedish computer science student collected the data
By Alex HalperinTopics: wikipedia, technology, Internet, Internet Culture, Facebook, Google, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, Technology News, Life News, News
Johan Gunnarsson, a computer science student in Lund, Sweden, has assembled a list of the most viewed Wikipedia pages of 2012.
The Daily Dot speculates, probably correctly, that the top two answers, "Facebook" and "Wiki" owe their popularity more to clumsy computer users than genuine curiosity. The rest of the list, though, can be read as a guide to the things people want to know about that they don't want others to know they want to know about. Except maybe Google.
1) Facebook
2) Wiki
4) "One Direction"

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.

A power company says the cause of the Super Bowl blackout was a faulty device that had been installed to prevent a failure of electric cables leading to the Superdome.
Officials of Entergy New Orleans say the device, called a relay, had been installed to protect the stadium from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium.
Company officials said the device performed without problem during January's Sugar Bowl and other earlier events.
They said the device has been removed and replacement equipment will be installed.
The power failure cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Baltimore ravens and San Francisco 49ers.
