Lily Eskelsen GarcíaPresident National Education Association Washington, DC
Lily Eskelsen García is president of the National Education Association, the nation's largest labor union. Lily began her career in education as a school lunch lady and now leads a professional association of three million educators — she is the first Latina to lead the NEA and one of the country's most influential Hispanic educators.
Prior to assuming the top post, Lily served two terms as NEA Vice President and Secretary-Treasurer. She became a vocal critic of the standardized testing movement and raised alarms on the outsize role that testing is playing in public education: taking over the time students spend in the classroom, being used as a weapon against their teachers, and distracting from real problem of inequality.
Her new role is an extension of her teaching days in Utah. She was named Utah Teacher of the Year in 1989 after nine years in the classroom. She also worked with homeless children and gifted children; as a mentor for student teachers; and as a peer assistance team leader at Orchard Elementary School in the suburbs of Salt Lake City.
In 1998 she attempted to put her 20 years of experience working with small children to practical use by becoming her party's nominee for the U.S. Congress. The rookie effort didn't work out but she made her mark: she was the first Hispanic to run for Congress in her state and earned 45 percent of the vote against the incumbent.
Lily is a sought after speaker and has keynoted hundreds of education events across the country, earning her recognition by Education World in their "Best Conference Speakers" edition. She also blogs at "Lily's Blackboard" bringing a teacher's voice to topical education issues. Her advice has been published in Parenting magazine and she has been featured on MSNBC, CNN en Español and as the noble opposition on Fox & Friends.
Lily believes in the sacred duty of all educators to be professionals and to care for the whole student - mind, body and character — no matter how students arrive and no matter their learning conditions, their home conditions or their health conditions. And she believes that professionalism carries the responsibility to take action, individually and collectively, to fight to make the promise of public education a reality and to prepare the whole and happy child to succeed in becoming a whole and happy adult.
Lily is a graduate of the University of Utah, graduating magna cum laude in elementary education and later earning her master's degree in instructional technology.

Menopause Symptoms
Ten Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Menopause
Note: We recommend you print this page to use as a reference for your consultation with your doctor.
- Could my symptoms be due to a condition other than
menopause? (Be ready
with a diary of symptoms - the character, frequency, duration, intensity,
triggers, etc.)
- What are the medications that I might consider to control my menopause
symptoms? Are there lifestyle or other modifications I can make to help
alleviate the symptoms?

Bills new defensive coordinator all about adjustments [11:00 AM]
WGR55 reports: 'Gray has the same aggressive, attack style approach that Williams does disguising their defensive intentions with a host of different packages. But what he's most interested in pulling off is the big play, "I know two years ago when we (Titans) went to the Super Bowl the defense really stepped up.'
A Dynamite Drumroll and Three Rivers Stadium Bows Out [10:37 AM]
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports: In case you missed it live there are a couple videoclips, although they were taken from across the river. Plenty of photos....
Bills in Cap Hell [10:07 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: The Buffalo Bills, who have a new general manager and a new coach, will probably have a new look as well in 2001 because of a $12.7 million cap overage. Certainly the club will not be able to afford both Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie at quarterback and likely will be forced to sacrifice at least two defensive starters.
"Let's face it, we're hostage to the cap right now," said new president and general manager Tom Donahoe. "It's kind of like being in a cap jail. But you have to dig your way out and part of that is making tradeoffs. You have to ask yourself, 'If I keep the guy at this position, where do I scrimp to make up for it? Is there somewhere I have a young player ready to step up, a spot where I can let a veteran go and play the cheaper guy?' It's all about tough decisions and having to handle as many as possible in the right way."
Bills splurge now a purge [5:30 AM]
D and C reports: '[Ralph Wilson:] "This is second guessing by me, but we probably had people we should've cut but instead we retained and gave bonuses to in order to extend their contracts and get us down (under the cap)."'
Split decision [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If the Bills go with Johnson, they're putting their future in the hands of a guy who has been knocked out of eight of 19 Bills starts. If they go with Flutie, they're putting their future in the hands of a guy who will be 39 in October.'
Brees only first-round QB option for Bills [7:24 AM]
D and C reports: 'Unfortunately, the only QB most scouts consider a sure thing to enjoy a successful NFL career -- Virginia Tech's Michael Vick -- will be chosen long before Buffalo's No. 14 overall pick. The next-best QB in the ratings is Purdue's Drew Brees, who is rated in the bottom half of the first round in most mock drafts.'
Flutie will be odd man out [7:23 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'Washington has already indicated a desire to sign Flutie to compete with Jeff George when Brad Johnson leaves for free agency at the end of the month. Detroit and San Diego are also possible Flutie suitors. And so is Tampa Bay, despite its denials.'
Tom Donahoe press conference (2/9) [1:08 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'When you're a good football team like Buffalo's been, you're always trying to find ways to keep your players, and when you do that, you push potential cap problems into the future, but eventually, you have to pay the piper, and we're at that stage.'
Season tickets now on sale [1:05 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'A new season is just around the corner, with new expectations, new faces and a newly renovated Ralph Wilson Stadium. Make sure you are there to FEEL THE NEW POWER of the Bills. For information on 2001 season tickets, call the Buffalo Bills Ticket Office at 1-877-BBTICKS!'
DeGeorge quits after Empire pumps up Sabres [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'DeGeorge resigned after a Monday staff meeting in which General Manager Bob Koshinski disclosed plans to emphasize coverage of the Buffalo Sabres and possibly drop aspects of its Buffalo Bills coverage.'
Bills will free one QB to go shopping [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The reason is the NFL trading period doesn't begin until March 2. That's the first day the salary cap for the 2001 season goes into effect. So a team has to have room under its salary cap for 2001 to have a player on the roster in order to trade him.'
2nd man booked in Gretna carjacking [8:52 AM]
New Orleans Times Picayune reports: 'New Orleans police booked a second man Friday in the Jan. 22 robbery and carjacking of Buffalo Bills defensive back Raion Hill in Gretna.'
Assistant football coaches to leave for NFL [8:10 AM]
Bryan-College Station Eagle reports: 'Kragthorpe told his players he was leaving to become the quarterbacks coach of the Buffalo Bills, an A&M source said Thursday. Kragthorpe coached the Aggies for four seasons, the last three as offensive coordinator.'
Two offensive coaches will leave A&M [8:09 AM]
Dallas Morning News reports: 'Kragthorpe arrived at A&M in 1997 to coach receivers. He was promoted to offensive coordinator the following year. When Kirksey joined the staff last season, Kragthorpe's responsibility shifted from receivers to quarterbacks.'
A&M coaches take NFL jobs [7:55 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Two more key offensive assistants have jumped from Texas A&M to the NFL, leaving Aggies head coach R.C. Slocum with a gaping hole in his staff for the 2001 season. Offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe is going to the Buffalo Bills as quarterbacks coach, and assistant head coach and wide receivers coach Larry Kirksey is headed to the Detroit Lions as receivers coach.'
Johnson or Flutie likely won't be traded [7:09 AM]
D and C reports: 'Since the trading period in the NFL doesn't open until March 2, which is also the start of free agency, the Bills can't deal a player without accounting for his contract on their salary cap. The deadline for hitting the $67.4 million cap is March 1 and the Bills are millions over.'
New deals for Fina and Brown [12:46 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'John Fina agreed to reduce his base salary for 2001 from $2 million to the new NFL minimum of $484,000. The balance, $1.516 million, is guaranteed in the form of a signing bonus... Ruben Brown, has also agreed to reduce his base salary from $3.5 million for 2001 to the same minimum and taking the balance in a signing bonus. That deal should save the Bills about $2.4 million in cap value.'
Cuts expected as Bills tackle salary cap woes [9:13 PM]
AP reports: 'The team's highest-priced players going into next season include both quarterbacks, defensive linemen Washington and Phil Hansen, linebackers Sam Rogers and John Holecek, defensive backs Henry Jones and Ken Irvin, and offensive linemen Jerry Ostroski and Joe Panos.'
Suspect arrested in hijacking of Buffalo Bills player [9:11 PM]
AP reports: 'Police booked a second man Friday in the Jan. 22 robbery and carjacking of Buffalo Bills defensive back Raion Hill.'
Jets Name Harris as Backfield Coach [3:19 PM]
New York Times reports: '[Requires Free Registration] Harris was most recently the offensive backfield coach for the Buffalo Bills in 1998 and 1999, when he was on the same staff with the Jets' new defensive coordinator, Ted Cottrell. Harris was out of football last season, after being fired by the Bills at the end of the 1999 season, apparently over philosophical differences with the former coach Wade Phillips and the offensive coordinator Joe Pendry.'
46 Bear Defense Site [2:30 PM]
N/A reports: 'I was looking around and i found a site that has the info on the 46 Defense.' [This isn't really a news piece, but it does provide technical details surrounding the infamous defensive scheme.]
Bills name Graves to coach wide receivers [6:43 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'Williams said when he was hired he wanted a staff well-schooled in teaching fundamentals and Graves seems to fit that mold. Bills president Tom Donahoe echoed those sentiments and he also noted this week the club would not be hesitant to hire college coaches to attract the caliber of staffers it wanted.'
NFL teams await Bills' cut [5:53 AM]
D and C reports: '"Nobody's going to give up something to absorb a burden on their cap. If I'm the new coach, I'll stay with the 27-year-old with upside and two years of contract left and hope he becomes a leader and gets better. I don't care how good Flutie is right now at his age."'
Wilson approved Flutie contract [5:51 AM]
D and C reports: 'Smith, who has joined Butler in San Diego as assistant general manager, said owner Ralph Wilson "dictated" what took place in Buffalo. "John has taken unwarranted hits on all those things concerning Buffalo's salary cap," Smith said. "Just ask Mr. Wilson. He was the one involved with that."'
Graves Takes Buffalo Job; McBride Seeks a Coach [5:50 AM]
Salt Lake City Tribune reports: 'Graves, a Ute assistant coach since 1982, will work under new Bills Coach Gregg Williams, who played for Graves at Northeast Missouri 25 years ago, and offensive coordinator Mike Sheppard, a former New Mexico coach and Brigham Young graduate assistant.'
Dr. Z's final testament to Ravens' D [5:02 PM]
CNN/SI reports: 'Dr. Z looks at Ravens' D compared to great defenses of years past. Bills' note is that the mid '60s unit is used as one of the comparison teams (and is the only AFL team mentioned) Congrats, Old Rockpile.'
Bill's Greatest Need [4:01 PM]
Sportstalk.com reports: 'Like the controversial show on MTV, Jackass, it was almost (but not quite) amusing when it first happened. Running a parallel of the Presidential election, major sporting news sources stated that there was an equally important campaign going on in Buffalo Rob Johnson or Doug Flutie?'
Utes May Lose Graves to Buffalo of the NFL [1:34 PM]
Salt Lake City Tribune reports: 'Fred Graves, who has coached Utah wide receivers for 19 seasons, is the leading candidate to become receivers coach for the Buffalo Bills, a hiring that could become official today.'
Bills name Graves receivers coach [1:31 PM]
AP reports: 'Graves, 50, has 26 years experience at the college level, including the last 19 at Utah. Since 1998 he has been assistant head coach in charge of receivers for Utah. He also coached running backs and served as offensive coordinator.'
Bills agree to terms with Graves to coach receivers [12:03 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'The Bills today announced that the team has agreed to terms with Fred Graves as receivers coach. Graves, 50, comes to the Bills with 26 years of coaching experience at the college level, including the last 19 seasons at Utah. Since 1998 he held the title of assistant head coach/receivers.'

I cooked 3.5 pounds of corned beef in the crock pot last week with the intentions of making reubens. Taste wise the dish was great, but the corned beef fell apart and I did not get those pretty deli slices I was hoping for. I cooked the beef according to my butcher's recommendation, and verified the cooking time later with an online resource and they were pretty close. Did I miss something in the process or is there a better preparation method other than a crock pot for cooking corned beef?

Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Did you let the meat cool completely before attempting to slice it? Even meat that is completely-fall-apart tender straight out of the (crock)pot will firm up quite a bit when cooled.
Your corned beef fell apart because you used the crockpot, typically things cooked in there fall apart very easily. This is great for tender meat, not so great for sandwich making.
Cooking your meat in a stew pot would definitely have better results. It may be possible to cook the meat on high in the slow cooker to get a better result.
You could try wrapping it in Caul or something similar, which will help keep it in once piece.

It's no surprise that shutterbugs (and lovebirds!), Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist, and partner, Garance Doré, have teamed up for Tiffany & Co's True Love In Pictures campaign.Indeed, through the posed street-style-esque pictures displaying little moments of romance (Post-Its, pairs of shoes, spontaneous hugs), Scott and Garance's love for each other and for photography shine through, big-time. And while it's a little bit sickening (he professes how he loves when she makes his oatmeal as he gets the morning coffee), it's also extremely sweet. Plus, never have we ever seen such good looking couples, including Piper Perabo of Coyote Ugly fame (yeah, we're psyched, too). Check out the pics, but be forewarned: If you're feeling unlucky in love of late, this might bum you out.

Hiking with Huskies, canoeing, wilderness and history, 11 days. On Day 1, boat to our wilderness cabins at Lake Laberge to begin your adventure with 4 spectacular days of hiking and backpacking...
Explore nature's perfect playground
The Yukon is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. The midnight sun bathes everything in a golden glow, the fresh, clean air rejuvenates, and the land beckons for adventure.
This landscape was made for hiking. Imagine reaching the summit of an unnamed mountain, or retracing a historic trading route, or watching wildlife from a sunny ridge. Trekkers from around the world come to explore the Yukon wilderness. Some seek iconic trails like the Chilkoot or the Cottonwood, some explore routes along river corridors and roadsides, and some find hiking solitude on the hundreds of trails and routes that criss cross the territory.
View all Yukon hiking operators or visit yukonhiking.ca for information on self-guided hiking in the Yukon.
Mountain Biking
Biking in the Yukon is single-track heaven, and no wonder. It's become a not-so-secret mountain biking hotspot with all the ingredients for fantastic rides. Cross a wildflower-strewn alpine meadow, careen down a mountain path, and ride high along an aspen ridge – all in a morning. Combine it with great guides and camaraderie, and you've got yourself world-class wilderness biking a stone's throw from the city.
View all Yukon mountain biking & cycling operators.
Horseback Riding
Discovering Yukon's pristine wilderness on horseback recalls the pioneering spirit of a bygone era. Yukon adventure companies offer guided day and multi-day horseback riding trips all across the territory, and many hunting outfitters work with horses.
View all Yukon horseback riding operators.
Round of golf at midnight, anyone? Yukon golfing is great any time of day, but it's a thrill to tee off late on a warm summer's eve. From first-class fairways to a rustic course at the edge of the wilderness, Yukon greens will draw you back for more.
View all Yukon golfing operators.
Equipment Rentals
Yukon's outdoor equipment and vehicle rental companies are well-outfitted with top quality camping equipment, gear and vehicles. Whether you want to rent a camp stove, a canoe, or a 30-foot RV with a full kitchen, you'll be able to find what you need here in the Yukon. Vehicles rentals are available only in Whitehorse.

Spring/Summer 2009
Granite Frontiers
A Century of Yosemite Climbing
It's on the move! Turns out the exhibit in the Valley was such a success that the show has hit the road. The first stop is the Autry National Center of the American West. The exhibit is scheduled June 12 - October 4, 2009.
We are excited and honored to be hosted by the Autry.This exhibit is sure to be a hit as many more treasures from the YCA collection have been added and the creativity of the museum staff has brought many fun and interesting additions.
YCA Inerp Program
Ask a Climber
Where: El Cap Bridge
When: Daily from 1pm - 3pm
Come to the El Cap bridge daily from 1pm to 3pm and meet with Tom Evans to have your questions answered about climbing these granite walls, listen to stories new and old, and for state-of-the-art telescope viewing of climbers, routes and pretty sights.
Facelift 2009
The 2009 Facelift is coming upon us quickly and boy do we need it. The lucky days are September 23 - 27, 2009 - be sure to mark your calenders. As spring is turing into summer the visitors have been rolling in and we all know what that means in the long run - litter and the overwhelming need for litter removal. So, once again we are asking for your help in cleaning up the Park during the 6th Annual Facelift.
The last five years have treated YCA and the Annual Facelift well; we have grown and gained much success. Per year an estimated 20 tons of discarded junk by humans have been removed from the ground, rocks and waterways by 2,000 + volunteers. Its a worthy event for a just cause. Come see why it's so fun and why it grows each year. Once again there will be daily raffles, inspiring evening programs, and all sorts of other happenings. Join us this year as we show our respect for Yosemite and celebrate caring for this natural wonder we all love so much!
Email us at email@example.com with your free camping needs if you can make it and we will put you on the list. First to get in touch will be the first to get camping. We hope to see you there!
