Emergency surgery in the Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital saved George Cartwright from death—making one of the happiest days of his life even happier!
It was their youngest son's wedding day—a day that had been months in the planning. The house was full of happy confusion—members of the wedding party, grandchildren, and out-of-town guests all gathered for the big event. Fairfield resident George Cartwright was shaving, and his wife Nan was getting ready to slip on her mother-of-the-groom dress, when suddenly all their plans changed.
"I felt an incredible pain," George says. "It started behind my right eyebrow, and went to the back of my head and all the way down my back. I told my wife, 'I have to lie down.' I felt shaky, sweaty, and sick."
Nan took one look at her husband and knew this was not wedding day jitters. She immediately called 911. The ambulance took George to Norwalk Hospital, where the Cartwrights had long-time friendships with physicians on the staff. In the ambulance, "I just kept thinking, 'Hang on George, you can make it!'" says George. "I don't remember anything after the Saugatuck River Bridge. This was a Saturday, and the next thing I knew it was Wednesday!"
A lot happened to George Cartwright while he was sleeping.
The Norwalk Emergency Department began a series of tests to find out what was wrong. Heart attack? Angina? Each of these had to be ruled out. It soon became clear that this was not going to be easy, and was going to take some time.
The family was torn, but they knew George would want them to go ahead with the long-planned wedding. So Nan hurried home to dress. And while George was being scanned and tested, his son John was married.
Before the reception John and his bride, Michelle Margo Cartwright, stopped at the hospital—in full wedding regalia—a visit George doesn't remember.
At the reception, George's middle son, Andrew, gave the best man's toast, and then took his mother aside to tell her that Norwalk Hospital had called a few minutes earlier. They had finished their evaluation and recognized that George might need emergency open-heart surgery. So, at that moment, George was in an ambulance speeding to The Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital, where internationally recognized cardiac surgeon M. Clive Robinson, MD, is chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Bridgeport Hospital's Heart Institute, alerted by the Norwalk Emergency Department, was ready for George. Suspecting an acute aortic dissection, cardiologist Steven Kunkes, MD, quickly began to perform a transesophageal echocardiogram—a scan performed with a small probe placed within the esophagus (the tube that connects mouth and stomach) for a close look at the heart and nearby blood vessels. Using the transesophageal probe, Dr. Kunkes was able to confirm the diagnosis and help Dr. Robinson decide how extensive an operation would be needed.
What Is an Acute Aortic Dissection?
In order to understand what happened to George next, it's important to understand what an acute aortic dissection is.
The inch-wide aorta, the body's largest blood vessel, starts oxygen-rich blood on its journey from the heart to the rest of the body. It runs down through the chest and abdomen, with smaller arteries branching off to carry blood to the brain, stomach, liver, kidneys, intestines, and legs.
The wall of the aorta is made up of three layers: a tough elastic outer coat, a middle layer of muscular tissue, and a thin inner coat. If there is a tear in the inner layer, some of the blood begins to escape, flowing between the layers. This blood separates the layers (called dissection), creating a false channel—like a one-lane side-road running alongside a superhighway. The blood that flows along this side-road can't get out to the body; it remains trapped between the aorta walls. And that is what happened to George.
Unless they receive treatment in time, 60% of patients like George die within 24 hours, according to Dr. Robinson, while 75% die within 48 hours, and if the dissection is left untreated, within 3 months, 90% of patients will die.
George's dissection continued to open like a zipper, spreading up and down the aorta from the starting place. In fact, it reached a total length of 22 inches. He was holding up pretty well, though, since some of his blood was still passing along the aortic superhighway and out to his body.
But just as Dr. Kunkes's echocardiogram confirmed an acute aortic dissection, the "zipper" reached George's heart. There the pressure of blood pulsing along the side road peeled the leaflets of the aortic valve away from the heart.
The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the upper chamber of the heart into the aorta. It blocks blood from flowing backwards into the heart, and allows the blood to flow out to the body—something like a police officer directing traffic. But now, instead of reaching the body, some of George's blood just sloshed back and forth—and much of it began pouring into the sac that surrounds the heart. This was a dead end. With nowhere to go, the blood began building up in the sac, squeezing the heart so that it couldn't beat effectively. Without emergency surgery, George would die.
He was immediately rushed to the operating room, where Dr. Robinson and his specially trained support team of doctors, nurses, perfusionists, and others were ready for him.
When Dr. Robinson first saw George's heart, "it looked like a squashed plum," he recalls. To save George's life, Dr. Robinson immediately made a small hole in the sac around the heart to drain off the blood. Relieved of the pressure, the heart began to beat more effectively.
Now emergency surgery could begin to patch the tear, direct the blood away from the side road and back onto the superhighway, and repair the aortic valve. First George was cooled to a body temperature of about 65°F. A system was set up so that George's blood would circulate only to his brain, while the rest of the body, preserved by its cool temperature, received no blood. Then Dr. Robinson opened the aorta, found the tear, and removed about two inches of the aorta surrounding the tear. He replaced that section with a two-inch graft—a tube of synthetic material. He next re-attached the leaflets of the aortic valve to the heart so they could resume their traffic-cop function, directing the flow of blood to the body..
Then Dr. Robinson closed up the side-road between the layers of the aorta with special stitches. Once the blood stopped entering the side-road and resumed flowing along the superhighway, the layers of the aorta came back together.
When Dr. Robinson and his team were finished, George was rewarmed, and blood flow was returned to his body. Nine hours after surgery began, he was taken to the recovery area.
Two in One Week!
"An acute aortic dissection is uncommon," says Dr. Robinson. "Most cardiac surgeons may only see five or six such patients a year, and many of the patients don't live long enough to reach the operating room. But George Cartwright was my second successful acute aortic dissection surgery that week." Just two days earlier, Gordon Humphreys, a British citizen working in Stamford, had suffered an acute aortic dissection and had been brought to Bridgeport Hospital and Dr. Robinson.
Nan Cartwright met Gordon's wife, Liz, when they were both visiting their husbands in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit. While their men recovered and gained strength, Nan and Liz became close friends.
George stayed in Bridgeport Hospital for 17 days, receiving exp

Around this time every year—after our December holiday perma-hangover has finally worn off--we get the urge to feng shui our wardrobes, a bit of pre-spring cleaning, if you will. Out with the sequins, heavy velvet party dresses, and blinged-out jewels, and in with the fresh, new, light, and airy. Kimberly Taylor's spring '11 collection embodies the desire for aesthetic purity, sartorially speaking. A 25-year-old native Brooklynite and NYU grad—oh yeah, and former Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga intern—Taylor's designs are a pitch-perfect mix of edgy downtown-cool and minimalist-chic. We're not exactly surprised; outfitting stylish New Yorkers is a family affair—Taylor's dad was a partner at Century21 for years. For spring, Taylor used a soft yet effective color palette, replete with sea-foam green, dusty blue, and stark black-and-white, and contrasted it with a vivid, kaleidoscopic watercolor print that elevates several of the collection's dresses into serious standout territory. Though we're usually ones to pile on the accessories, the almost complete lack of accouterments, save the splashes of multicolored scarves tied delicately around the model's wrists, and a pair of dark shades here and there, complements the spare feel of the collection and heightens the impact of each piece. Yep, in this case, less really is more.
Click through to see all the looks from Kimberly Taylor's super-chic collection, plus deets on how to score the new dress! .

Guest blog by Deborah Dubow Press, Regulatory Affairs Manager, ASPCA Government Relations
The ASPCA believes that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more prepared animal facilities are for emergencies, the better responders, like the ASPCA, can stretch our resources and focus our relief efforts when disaster strikes.
That's why today we applaud the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) new regulation requiring all facilities licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act—this includes breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers—to prepare emergency plans for protecting and caring for animals during disaster.
While the ASPCA will always provide zealous and expert response to imperiled animals, we believe that animal-related businesses should be prepared to protect their animals in emergency situations. Given the tireless efforts of the ASPCA's FIR Team and other first responders, mandatory emergency planning is a small thing to ask and a reasonable cost of doing business.
We are hopeful that this new regulation will prevent animals from being harmed during man-made and natural disasters alike. To learn about establishing an emergency plan for your own pets, please visit our Disaster Preparedness page.
Because of you, we were able to accomplish so much for abused and homeless animals this year. From shutting down dog fighting rings and puppy mills to deploying widespread disaster relief, your support has allowed us to improve the lives of countless animals across the country.
We are grateful for and humbled by your unwavering commitment to animals. This short video is a thank you for all of the work you make possible—please enjoy it.
From our family to yours, have a healthy, happy new year.
Guess who just became available for adoption?? Briana, the starving, injured German Shepherd mix who was found tethered in a yard back in August.
Here's what Briana was dealing with when she came to us: starvation, dehydration, flea infestation and, perhaps most horrifying, a deep neck wound from a collar left on so long it became embedded in her flesh.
Briana recovered beautifully over several months, revealing herself to be a mellow, soulful lady who loves to play with toys and receive attention from people.
Know anyone who'd be interested in ringing in the new year with a loyal companion like Briana? Check out her page for more info.
This resilient, amazing pup deserves to learn what a loving home is like.
Can't give Briana a home but still want to help? Donate to the ASPCA before January 1 and you'll receive a 2012 tax break.
There's nothing like starting off the New Year looking your best, and our awesome new app makes that easy for your pets.
Using our Happy Near Year app, you can design a goofy card featuring your pet! Just upload a photo of your furry pal, then drag and drop some festive accessories like a party hat or pearl necklace. Share the image with your friends and wish them a happy New Year!
It's super easy and super fun. Besides, we bet your cat will look awesome with a mustache and top hat.
Guest blog by Ann Church, Vice President of State Affairs, ASPCA Government Relations
Thanks to the support of animal advocates like you, the ASPCA's Government Relations team was able to expand greatly this year, increasing our ability to fight for better laws for animals in all 50 states. As 2012 draws to a close, it's the perfect time to reflect on some of this year's legislative accomplishments on behalf of animals. Here is a small sampling of state-level victories that the ASPCA and our mighty Advocacy Brigade helped secure in 2012:
California—"Hounding" of Wildlife
California has banned hounding, a form of trophy hunting in which radio-collared dogs are released in forests to chase and tree bears and bobcats.
Idaho—Felony Cruelty
2012 will be remembered as the year that Idaho, a long-time holdout, finally enacted a law making animal torture a felony offense. The state made cockfighting a felony as well.
Massachusetts—Animal Control Reform
Among other achievements, this far-reaching, comprehensive new law creates a statewide spay/neuter program, prohibits breed-specific legislation, places restrictions on outdoor tethering, and allows pets to be included in domestic violence-related protection orders.
New Jersey—Horse Slaughter
New Jersey banned the slaughter of horses for human consumption as well as their transport through the state—a very meaningful provision, given the continued problem of export of horses over the border for slaughter.
Ohio—Exotic Pet Ownership and Puppy Mill Regulations
Ohio's Dangerous Wild Animal Act passed seven months after 56 exotic animals were released by their owner. (Most were killed.) Ohio was one of only a handful of states with virtually no regulations on wild/exotic animal pet ownership. In addition, the state passed its first-ever puppy mill law, which sets standards of care and requires annual inspections.
Tennessee—Felony Cruelty to Livestock
While most states exempt farm animals from their animal cruelty statues, Tennessee became one of the first to make extreme acts of cruelty to livestock subject to felony-level penalties.
It's important to remember that these victories, as well as the countless others, could not have been achieved without collaboration among state legislators and humane advocacy groups. Let's all continue to champion stronger laws protecting our nation's animals and make 2013 an even better year!

From the Songwriters Hall of Fame website—Jimmy Van Heusen Exhibit
Composer Jimmy Van Heusen was born Edward Chester Babcock, in Syracuse, New York on January 26, 1913. Growing up in Syracuse, he began writing songs while still in high school. At the age of 16, he had a regular program on a small Syracuse radio station and as an announcer and adopted the last name of Van Heusen (inspired by the men's Collar manufacture of the same name). After graduating from high school, Van Heusen attended Cazenovia College and Syracuse University where he studied music with instructor Colburn and later with Howard Lyman.
Moving to New York City in 1933, Van Heusen took a job as a staff pianist with Remick Music Publishing. In 1938, on the heels of his first hit publication "It's the Dreamer In Me," Van Heusen was put under contract with Remick as a songwriter and began collaborating with lyricist Eddie De Lange. In the short time De Lange and Van Heusen worked together, they produced nearly 20 hit songs, including "All I Remember is You," "All This and Heaven Too," "Can I Help it," "Darn That Dream," "This Is Madness to Love," "Heaven Can Wait," "Sympathy," "Moonland," "So Help Me" and "Swingin' a Dream."
By 1939, Van Heusen had started working with another lyricist, Johnny Burke. Together, the two began their own publishing firm BurVan, Inc. Van Heusen would continue to be an active music publisher for the rest of his career founding the firms Maraville Music Corp. and Famous Music.
Collaborating on the Broadway shows Nelly Bly and Carnival in Flanders, as well as over 30 films, the Van Heusen-Burke team was one of the most successful partnerships from Tin Pan Alley. Under contract with Paramount Studios, Van Heusen and Burke moved to Hollywood in 1940. Together they wrote the hit songs "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," "Imagination," "It's Always You," "Moonlight Become You," "Swinging on a Star" (1945 Academy Award for Best Song), "Personality," "Would You?," "But Beautiful," "Once and For Always," "You're In Love with Someone," "Life is So Peculiar," "Got the Moon in My Pocket," "Suddenly It's Spring," "It Could Happen to You" and "Like Someone in Love."
In 1956, Burke semi-retired from songwriting and Van Heusen started another successful partnership with legendary lyricist Sammy Cahn. The Van Heusen–Cahn catalog includes "Love and Marriage" (1955 Emmy Award for Best Song), "All the Way" (1957 Academy Award for Best Song), "High Hopes" (1959 Academy Award for Best Song), "The Second Time Around," "To Love and Be Loved," "Call Me Irresponsible" (1964 Academy Award for Best Song), "Incurably Romantic," "Come Fly With Me," "Come Dance With Me" and "Only the Lonely".
Throughout his forty year career, Van Heusen received 10 Oscar nominations for Best Song in a Motion Picture, 4 Academy Awards for Best Song in a Motion Picture, 1 Emmy Award for Best Musical Contribution and 6 Golden Laurel Nominations for Best Music in a Motion Picture.
Jimmy Van Heusen died on February 7, 1990.

This year marks Bill Charlap's ninth summer as artistic director of 92nd Street Y's Jazz in July summer festival. One of the world's premier jazz pianists, Mr. Charlap has performed with many leading artists of our time, ranging from Phil Woods and Tony Bennett to Gerry Mulligan and Wynton Marsalis. He is known for his interpretations of American popular songs and has recorded albums featuring the music of Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin. Time magazine wrote, "Bill Charlap approaches a song the way a lover approaches his beloved…no matter how imaginative or surprising his take on a song is, he invariably zeroes in on its essence."
In 1997, Mr. Charlap formed the Bill Charlap Trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington (no relation), now recognized as one of the leading groups in jazz. In 2000, he signed with Blue Note Records and has since received two Grammy nominations, for Somewhere: The Songs of Leonard Bernstein and The Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard. The Trio performs all over the world; their New York engagements include regular appearances at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and they will return to the Village Vanguard for a two-week run this fall. In 2009, Mr. Charlap was pianist and musical director for The Blue Note 7, an all-star jazz septet celebrating the legacy of Blue Note Records on its 70th anniversary. The septet performed a 50-city tour and released the CD, Mosaic: A Celebration of Blue Note Records.
Mr. Charlap's experience as concert producer extends beyond Jazz in July. In the mid-1990s, he was the musical director of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, A Celebration of Johnny Mercer," part of New York's JVC Jazz Festival. He has produced several concerts for Jazz at Lincoln Center and an evening of George Gershwin's music at the Hollywood Bowl.
Born in New York City, Mr. Charlap began playing the piano at age three. His father was Broadway composer Moose Charlap, whose credits include Peter Pan, and his mother is singer Sandy Stewart, who appeared on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como shows and earned a Grammy nomination for her recording of "My Coloring Book." In 2006, Mr. Charlap and Ms. Stewart released the acclaimed CD, Love Is Here to Stay on Blue Note; their second release, Something to Remember, on Ghostlight, was released this past January. They have appeared at The Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel and Feinstein's at the Regency and they have won New York Bistro and Nightlife awards. In February 2012, they appeared on the 92Y Jazz series.
Mr. Charlap is married to renowned jazz pianist Renee Rosnes. The two artists often collaborate in a duo piano setting. In 2010, Mr. Charlap and Ms. Rosnes made Double Portrait, released on the Blue Note label and recorded at 92nd Street Y.
Dena DeRose performs at many of the world's most respected jazz festivals and clubs, including Jazz in Marciac (France), the Monterey Jazz Festival, the North Sea Jazz Festival (the Netherlands), the Red Sea Jazz Festival (Israel), The Blue Note, Jazz Standard, Yoshi's San Francisco, Montmartre (Copenhagen), Widderbar (Zurich) and Swing Hall (Tokyo). A Binghamton native and former New Yorker for 15 years, she is head of jazz voice at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria. Ms. DeRose has shared the stage with Clark Terry, Tootie Heath, Ray Brown, Benny Golson, Benny Green, Mark Murphy, John Scofield, and many others. She's been featured on NPR's "Morning Edition" and Marian McPartland's "Piano Jazz" numerous times. A multi-Grammy Award nominee, she has recorded 10 CDs as a leader, including 2012's Travelin' Light. Her website is denaderose.com.
Freddy Cole was born into a storied family of musicians whose friends included Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Lionel Hampton. He earned a master's degree from the New England Conservatory of Music, which gave him an honorary degree last year, before building his career in New York City's bistros. Mr. Cole and his trio are constantly on tour; this past spring he appeared at the Aspen Jazz Series with Bill Charlap in Winnipeg, the Chicago Jazz Showcase and the Chamber of Jazz Society in Baltimore, and he is already booked at Birdland this December 17-21. Mr. Cole has been a recording artist since 1952.

Midwest Living Review
Whether your preference is whiskey, gin, vodka or rum, Journeyman Distillery crafts them all on-site using local ingredients. Owner Bill Welter is a former banker who became interested in whiskey after spending time in Scotland. He's since created his hip distillery in artsy Three Oaks, Michigan, within the former 1880s Featherbone Corset Factory. (Ironically, the factory owner was a hardcore prohibitionist back in the day.) Bill's extensive remodel uncovered many relics from the factory's glory days, including old sewing needles wedged between the cracks of the wooden floors.
Open since October 2011, Journeyman showcases an interior of polished wood, weathered metal and retro fixtures, and a fantastic sound system lures guests over to the sampling station. Try a "white flight" of vodka, white whiskey, rum and gin for $3, or the whiskey flight of four samples for $4. Then move on to delicious cocktails ($8) like the White Dog, Journeyman's take on the Greyhound, or the Red Arrow Spritzer. It's really fun to watch the mixologist muddle and swirl drinks as she details recipes for the not-so-simple syrups and ingredients. Journeyman has also recently added several small plates, including house-cured olives and charcuterie from Drier's Meat Market, a 100-year-old smokehouse just around the corner.
Tours are available by reservation.

Until just recently we didn't have 51 players signed. I just changed for that but the numbers are not up yet.Originally posted by clumpedplatelet
With the Top 51 filled,
Ruddy: saves approx. $1.97 million
Madison: saves approx. $1.8 million
All above have been adjusted for top 51 rule
There are two differences. I have Ruddy getting a roster bonus of $500k. Madison we have discussed before and disagree on his prorated bonus amount. As for Fiedler I would like to hear why you think his option bonus is not part of team salary until it is exercised.

by Larri Jo StarkeyThe American Quarter Horse Journal
Rita Crundwell of Dixon, Illinois, had a full day of showing November 11 that ended with three world championships and one reserve world championship at the 2010 AQHA World Championship Show.
In amateur weanling mares, Rita led Execute Pretty.
"She's out of the mare Phenomenal Ms," Rita said. "She won the Congress Masters filly baby class. Her name is Execute Pretty, and we call her 'Pretty' because she's beautiful."
AQHA Professional Horseman Buddy Laney led Pretty to her Congress win.
At the World Show, amateur weanling stallions was won by Execute A Score, a sorrel baby out of She Scores by Touchdown Kid, one of Rita's favorite mares. Execute A Score won the Congress Masters weanling stallion class with AQHA Professional Horseman Ross Roark at the shank.
"(Execute A Score) got really sick on us at Congress, but luckily, we got him out of there and over it," Rita said. "I think he actually looks better today than he did in Columbus."
Sacreds Executionist out of Sacred Sierra by Sierra Te won the amateur yearling mares title at the World Show.
"Sacred Sierra has produced a lot of nice horses, and this is her first Execute baby," Rita said. "We're really pleased that he seems to be crossing on everything."
All four of the horses that won trophies for Rita on November 11 are by Execute, the 2004 sorrel stallion who won the amateur performance halter stallions world championship November 7. Rita's reserve world championship came in amateur yearling stallions with Acoolest Pick out of Pick Me Please.
Execute is entered in the open heeling competition at the World Show with AQHA Professional Horseman Clay Logan.
"You do the best you can and it's a lot of luck, but you try and get good mares and hope the studs work on them," Rita said. "We switch them around hoping one works better than the others, but we're very fortunate."

Oh I don't know.....could it be a sign the QB position is in shambles? Nooooo never. Sanchez has the position on lock down for the next 15 years.
2nd, Tebow cost draft picks and a decent amount of money. IF any team signs Russell it will be for the minimum w/ absolutely no risk, if he sucks or has a bad attitude he's cut w/ no cap ramifications.
It's crazy thinking to possibly sign a QB w/ physical ability for the minimum and hope he plays up to his potential w/ absolutely no risk. Pretend any other team was mentioned and it would be a good move.
Can one of you geniuses give me one reason it would be a bad move for ANY team to sign Russell to a minimum deal?
A Doug flutie in Buf in '98, Jim Plunkett, Tommy maddox led Pitt to the playoffs one year, Rich gannon, Stan Humphries, Michael Vick in Philly, Chris Chandler, Wash won a SB w/ a washed up Doug Williams, Steve Beurlein, Jeff Garcia, ... The league is littered w/ QBs being given 2nd/3rd chances and succeeding. perhaps the greatest QB of all time was given a 2nd chance- Johnny Unitas.
But keep pushing your new agenda to bash me b/c you look silly when trying to debate me. join the vaark crew!
Not sure how someone who understands the game would interpret that in anyway other than negative.
Unless you hate the Jets. Then it's a positive that he becomes your starter.
Just for once admit that your team is doing something stupid.
Say it out loud. "JaMarcus Russell. Been out of the league since 2009. Career QB rating of 65. 300lbs. Grape drank."
Your own fan base seems to agree with me.
But keep thinking this is just a conspiracy theory against the jest because everyone else in the world is jealous.
Nowhere did I say it would work out, I have said numerous times the chances are he will never succeed but ther's no downside for ANY team to take a look and even bring him in for the minimum. If he sucks or has a bad attitude he's gone w/ no cap ramifications, if for some reason he works hard and plays up tp his talent a team gets a cheap QB.
You are better than this.
This is a move where if we make it then it's the circus continues, if NE makes it then it's a great move.
For any team there is nothing invested, it makes sense for any team to give him a look and hope you strike gold. The chances are remote but there's no risk invovled at all.
It's not a conspiracy theory, it's common sense which many average fans lack. You think Bills fans were going nuts for Flutie in '98? he saved their season and led them to the playoffs when they started 0-4. They thought he'd be a sideshow and nothing more. The history of the league is littered w/ examples like that. jim Plunkett was a major disappointment as a #1 overall pick, he was given a 2nd chance in oak and won 2 SBs. Do you think raider fans were jumping for joy when they signed him? For my team no one expected anything out of Vinny Testaverde in '98 and he wound up having the best season for a QB in franchise history leading us to the most wins in franchise history. Don't worry about what other fans think, think for yourself.
The problem with the jest specifically kicking the tires on anyone which usually boils down to the tire kickers being The Tootsie Perv or the attention-whoring owner is that, as a case in point, for them those tires feel delusionally A-OK...as evidenced by Tebow and The Meatball (who despite never being an OC, Rex enthusiastically described more or less as his doppelganger). Yes, Russell could turn out to be Lazarus rising from the ashes, but when in the recent past, even his mentor, John Lucas, washed his hands of him as being hopeless, and his coming in thinking he can try a comeback 50-60lbs overweight, perhaps the jest would be better served kicking the tires of someone like David Carr, Chad Henne or Tavaris Jackson.
Again, I am NOT saying he will have success. The odds are stacked way against him, my point is it is a no risk move. We wouldn't be counting on him, we wouldn't be paying him a ton, it wouldn't hurt our cap. It would be no risk, either he works harder than he ever has and makes the team or we cut him. It's simple.

Seb Vettel may be appear to be a bit more ruthless on the track these days, but Christian Horner says he is the "easiest driver" he has worked with...
Sebastian Vettel may be appear to be a bit more ruthless on the track these days, but his Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says he is the "easiest driver" he has worked with.
At the age of 26 Vettel is one of the hottest properties not only in Formula One, but in world sport as he has won three consecutive World Championships and is gunning for a fourth one in a row.
Asked as to the difference now compared to 2010 when Vettel won his first title, Horner told Press Association Sport: "It's his experience, his knowledge.
"He's always had tremendous natural speed, and he has an intelligence that goes with that.
"But as he's gained more experience, experienced situations of pressure, expectation, difficulty, he's learned from each and every one of them, and applied those lessons extremely well.
"That's just made him more and more rounded."
During the early stages of his career, Vettel was often labelled as "Mr Nice Guy" on and off the track, but he has received a lot of criticism in recent months over his behaviour at this year's Malaysian Grand Prix when he disobeyed team orders and decided to overtake team-mate Mark Webber and claim the race win.
Horner, though, says Vettel has always had a ruthless streak in him.
"It's always been there," added Horner. "It's perhaps become a bit more obvious to the outside world because of what happened in Malaysia, but there are other factors surrounding that.
"He's a fiercely-determined young man. You don't achieve the kind of success he's had without that burning desire and determination.
"But then he is also the easiest driver I've ever worked with. He doesn't have an ego - or certainly a very modest one.
"He enjoys what he does, he's extremely honest, he gives 110 per cent and he's a nice guy. It's not often you get that combination."
Vettel's childhood hero Michael Schumacher is Formula One's most decorated driver with seven World Championships and Horner admits it would be extremely difficult for his driver to emulate his German compatriot.
"It's impossible," he said. "Schumacher's domination, in a period where the regulations were as they were, is extremely unlikely ever to be replicated.
"Seven World Championships and 91 victories? Unbelievable! Three at 26 is a hell of a score rate. To achieve another one would be incredible for Sebastian.
"But you can't look down the road at what he's going to achieve in his career. Who knows what could happen? You can't rule it out, but you can't expect it either and therefore it's better not to think about it."

This story was corrected on May 3, 2012. An explanation follows the story.
The owner of Griff's Landing in downtown Frederick has filed a lawsuit against neighboring Canal Bar, following years of feuding between the two establishments, and seeks $2 million in damages.
The lawsuit, filed March 15 in Frederick County Circuit Court by Griff's owner Shannon Griffis Essel, alleges the owners of Canal spread lies about Griff's, interfered with its business, and ultimately cost the business money.
Canal Bar and owners Kriste Kidd and Charles Kidd III, who are listed as defendants in the civil suit, deny each of the seven allegations made by Griff's.
Essel makes the following claims in her lawsuit:
źGriff's claims that after a January shooting near the two bars, the owners of Canal told people that Griff's was to blame for the altercation.
źGriff's alleges it was one of six bars originally selected to host a Key 103 "Happy Hour for Hope" event, but was dropped after the owners of Canal told sponsors that Griff's promotes violence. Sean Morrissey, the event's organizer, had no comment when asked about Griff's Landing's participation in the event.
źGriff's alleges the Kidds circulated a letter and petition defaming Griff's to more than 400 people, in which they claimed Griff's attracts and caters to gang members and thugs, and Griff's is the root of the crime problem in downtown.
Essel and the Kidds did not return repeated calls for comment.
Canal's Lawyer, Michael Burgoyne, based in Baltimore, also did not return calls for comment. Griff's attorney, Washington, D.C.-based Falen LaPonzina, did not return calls for comment.
A pretrial conference in the case is scheduled for Dec. 12. In the suit, Griff's is seeking $2 million in damages, as well as court costs. The demands also include a restraining order barring the Kidds and the bar, as well as employees, from filing false reports against any agency, and from making false statements about the bar. It also asks for a retraction of all statements made about Griff's Landing.
In the complaint, Griff's states Kriste Kidd was employed by Griff's in 1999, was a regular patron and met her husband, Charles, at the bar. The relationship between the bars — and their owners — soured in 2010 for reasons not disclosed in the court documents.
The lawsuit claims since fall 2011, Canal's owners filed seven complaints to the Frederick County Liquor Board against Griff's, in which they said the bar served alcohol to minors, watered down liquor, and served full bottles of liquor to customers.
The most recent complaint, made to the liquor board, came in February for watering down alcohol.
During a meeting of the liquor board on Feb. 13, board members discussed conflict between the two bars. The board approved a fundraising event at Canal Bar and The Greene Turtle on March 4. On that same day, Griff's was advertising a competing charity event by saying "their event is better and come to that event," according to records of the meeting.
The two bars are adjacent to Citizen's Way, an alley that connects Court and South Market streets. The area is a frequent site of violence downtown, with 30 people being arrested in the area last year, according to Frederick Police Chief Kim Dine.
On Jan. 28, a fistfight in the alley between the bars led to a shooting in which one man was injured. On March 2, two women were arrested for disorderly conduct after being removed from Griff's Landing by bar staff.
Bars in the area, including Canal and The Greene Turtle, recently hosted a fundraiser to purchase cameras for the alley. Griff's did not participate in that event.
firstname.lastname@example.com: This article was update to correct the spelling of an attorney's name and include the damages sought by Griff's Landing.

So called because it's the color of a steamed lobster, although the lobster mushroom is actually a white mushroom that is coated by a red fungus. It is perhaps the meatiest mushroom, even meatier than most portobello mushrooms. The flavor is sweet and delicate, and delicious. Their season is August to November.

See Hen Of The Woods Mushroom. Maitake has a robust, earthy flavor and fragrance and can be prepared in many ways including stir-fry, sautéed, and baked. Tempura-battered, deep-fried maitake mushrooms are very popular in Japan.

Matsutake is a meaty mushroom like the porcinis and portobellos, with a savory, pungent flavor and rich aroma. The larger ones have steak-like caps, thick stems and intense flavor.

The shape of morels sets them apart from most other mushrooms (they're also called "gnomes' caps"). They have a hollow interior which must be rinsed before cooking as they harbor insects, and can be stuffed. Their intense, nutty and earthy flavor tastes wonderful when sautéed simply in olive oil or butter; and they are heaven with beef. Morels are a great enhancement to gravies and stews in place of (or in addition to) meat. Morels are a spring mushroom, typically available fresh from late March to the end of May, although the season in the Pacific Northwest can last until July. Varieties include rounds from Turkey; conica from the Pacific Northwest, Kentucky and Louisiana*; and blondes/naturals from Michigan.* Success has finally been achieved in cultivating them, so we can look forward to having them fresh year-found. Dried morels are also excellent.
*And elsewhere.
Oyster mushrooms have a velvety texture that is reminiscent of its namesake. All varieties are stunning—see the Baby Blue Oyster mushrooms at right. You can also find them in pink, as well as the more standard off-white, yellow, and grey-brown colors. They have prominent, ridged gills on the underside. While the flavor is delicate, they look beautiful. Toss them into a salad; sauté lightly with chicken, pork or seafood; or use them as a beautiful garnish. (Be sure to include them in your mixed wild mushroom dishes.) They are available year round.

Portabella or Portobello Mushroom
Cremini mushrooms grow up into more complex-flavored portabellas, meaty in both taste and appearance—they can be 3 to 10 inches in diameter. Like meat, they even release juices when cooked. Vegetarians enjoy them grilled in lieu of beef, and they make wonderful grilled vegetable sandwiches. They are brown, with a slightly firmer texture than white mushrooms, and can be served whole or sliced, stuffed or as "burgers." For a simple starter, serve sliced grilled portobello drizzled with a balsamic reduction. They are available fresh from December to March and cultivated year round.
TIP: Cook Portabellas gills down for the first 10 minutes to allow moisture to escape.

The code compiles and runs fine. It looks like you don't have the correct file name in use, or that you're not running the javac properly if manually doing it from the command line.
Did you use an IDE for this, or did you just create a text file? Check the directory for this, and see what the extension is (it has to be .java).
Been gone for a few months, and haven't programmed in that long of a time. Meh, I'll wing it ;)PHP Code:

Ed Koch's Mixed Legacy on Gay Rights & AIDS
When Shelley wrote that poets are "the unacknowledged legislators of the world," he used "poets" as shorthand for all literary authors. He could have added that they are often its historians.
Whatever people think of Richard III has been shaped by Shakespeare's portrayal of a power-mad serial murderer of family members. Writing a century after her death, the great biographer Plutarch is responsible for Cleopatra's lasting reputation as a wily seductress.
While the jury is certainly still out on Ed Koch, the three-term New York City mayor who died at age 88 on Friday, it may well be that the portrait of him that ends up standing the test of time is the one Larry Kramer wrote in the play "The Normal Heart."
Kramer fought the mayor not only on the page but once face-to-face in the real world. These two men may have loathed each other, but each one could stand as an archetype of how the rest of the world perceives New Yorkers: feisty, ambitious, street- and school-smart Jews personified by the word "chutzpah."
Like all such words in Yiddish (of course), it loses something in translation, but a rough definition would be an presumption of what is right and an intolerance of anyone who dares transgress their own assumptions. If it implies an outlandish arrogance (Leo Rosten, in his definitive book "The Joys of Yiddish" defines it by allusion as a man who kills his parents and throws himself on the mercy of the court as an orphan), it also encompasses the moral certainty of the Old Testament prophets.
Kramer v. Koch
Kramer's 1985 play, which was successfully revived on Broadway recently and is finally in production as a film, is a thinly disguised autobiographical polemic about the dark early days of the AIDS epidemic in New York City. Its protagonist, Ned Weeks, is a gay Jewish activist, a Cassandra who tries to warn the world about a new disease that has begun killing off gay men in his circle of friends.
Weeks becomes deeply involved with a small group of like-minded gay men who have banded together to fight the problem and try to provide social services for its victims. Much of the play involves the men's fruitless efforts to have an audience with Mayor Koch to solicit the city's help. His relentless pressure and frequent references to the mayor's closeted homosexuality eventually gets him kicked out of this inner circle when he directly confronts Koch's assistant.
In real life, Kramer was one of the founders of what was to become Gay Men's Health Crisis, which quickly grew to become the world's largest private AIDS service organization. Like Weeks, he was unceremoniously tossed aside when he became a vociferous critic of what he saw as then-Mayor Koch's refusal to acknowledge or the situation or take action. Like Weeks, Kramer was hardly silent about what he thought the real problem was: the mayor's fear that taking the lead in fighting what would become known as AIDS would fuel rumors about his own sexual identity.
Kramer's barely controlled anger at what he sees as government inaction on every level has scarcely abated in three decades. After the GMHC dust-up, he went on to found ACT-UP, the seminal protest group whose frequent target was the mayor. No ACT-UP demonstration was complete without a few signs of Koch spattered blood red and outing him.
It so happened that at the time, the two men lived in the same Greenwich Village apartment building, which led to one of those only-in-New York scenes. A 2010 story in the New York Observer reprises Koch's own account in a New Yorker profile, which ended up in a book about the mayor by Jonathan Soffer.
"He was trying to pet my dog Molly and he started to tell me how beautiful it was," Kramer said in the New Yorker article. "I yanked her away so hard she yelped, and I said, 'Molly, you can't talk to him. That is the man who killed all of Daddy's friends.'"

Catch them in four different easy-to-make traps.
Got an infestation? Control it right now!
I compare the effectiveness of four different types of traps.
Step 1: Inverted Cone Fly Trap
To make it, cut off the top of a soda bottle and insert it into the remaining part inverted. Tape or hotglue it in place. Put some liquid bait in the bottom.
The flies will fly in and will follow the walls back up, not finding the way out.
Instead of the plastic cone some people use a paper cone,
a plastic bag with the corner cut off,
or a piece of saran wrap with a small hole in it.
some people use these Alternative Baits:
juice or sugar water'
sugar water with yeast
apple cider vinegar
pickle juice
for other types of flies: meat, fish, canned cat food, or whatever the flies seem to like.
L.S.D,DMT,what.isit,#that your teLling me
will yellow wine work? I have it sitting around since I don't drink yellow, only red and I don't want to waste any for those darn FF!! :)
My cousin and I like to drink excessively, too much, too often, and not clean up after ourselves.
After 2 years of this behavior, our kitchen has suffered the repercussions of our actions. Fruit flies have crashed our party and taken over our kitchen. We can no longer crack a can of Coors Original, cork a bottle of Pinot Noir, or even whisk together a simple John Daily (Iced Tea, Lemonade, vodka, MORE vodka). What have we done!?!?!?
While we were in panic we stumbled upon your strategory... We followed your actions to the T. While all seemed to have some degree of success, my cousin and I grew inpatient and attacked the Fruit Pests from both sides with All Purpose cleaning spray.
The flies hit the counter like a Whitney Houston to a bath tub.
We won the battle, but not the war...
We woud be honored to join your allegiance and help unite our new intel to takeover these Facist Fruits once and for all!!!
1) Maple Syrup does not seem to have an effect on these hellbenders
2) While we were successful with your wine bottle method, the same was not true with bloody mary mix
3) Pickle juice is a myth in our area
4) Don't and I repeat DO NOT water down any substance as the Fruits are only attracted to the most acholic of beverages (much like ourselves).
If you are still out there, we wish good fortune on your quest to rid us of the slithery snakes!
When i see fruit flies wearing scuba gear, I'll rethink the suitability of the dry ice plan!
Especially liked how Inverted Cone Fly Traps can also be used for other flies/insects. Gave me some good ideas :)
While making wine , I discovered the best fruit fly deterrent was Live basil . Within a minute , like 10+ fruit flies were Gone . & Nope , dry basil will Not work .
and the bird, flies
Seriously! ...cuz we looked it up in the big book .. it said sorta like :
"We are amazed that the Rothschild family had the NERVE actually to sell this vintage to the public!"
so.. poooof went her dreams of millionairedom
In April, the asparagus was in. Now, in May, the combines just harvested the first of the sweet pea crops. Cherries are next and it will just keep going. Dehydrating and canning mean any dreams of a "clean kitchen" is a fools dream. The only solution is battle, which, sometimes, requires the use of the shop vac.
As an aside, I collect the shop vac tubes at garage sales and can extend mine out about twenty feet. When I come across a hornet or wasp lair, I set the tubes up against the entrance and turn the vac on for an hour or two. This seems to work best toward the end of the day, when they are returning.
If you do vacuum wasp and hornets, it goes without say that opening the vac too soon may not be the best plan. On the other side, a large nest dead in your vac can get surprisingly "ripe" (words of experience).

Not even his closest associates had advance word of the news, a bombshell that he dropped during a routine meeting of Vatican cardinals. And with no clear favorites to succeed him, another surprise likely awaits when the cardinals elect Benedict's successor next month.
"Without doubt this is a historic moment," said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protégé and former theology student of Benedict's who is considered a papal contender. "Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath."
The Feb. 28 resignation allows for a fast-track conclave to elect a new pope, since the traditional mourning period of nine days that would follow a pope's death doesn't have to be observed. Though he will not himself vote, Benedict has hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals – the princes of the church who will elect his successor – to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church.
"For the century to come, I think that none of Benedict's successors will feel morally obliged to remain until their death," said Paris Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois.
Benedict said as recently as 2010 that a pontiff should resign if he got too old or infirm to do the job, but it was a tremendous surprise when he said in Latin that his "strength of mind and body" had diminished and that he couldn't carry on. As a top aide, Benedict watched from up close as Pope John Paul II suffered publicly from the Parkinson's disease that enfeebled him in the final years of his papacy. Clearly Benedict wanted to avoid the same fate as his advancing age took its toll, though the Vatican insisted the decision was not prompted by a specific malady.
The Vatican said Benedict, 85, would live in a congregation for cloistered nuns inside the Vatican, although he will be free to go in and out. Much of this is unchartered territory. The Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said he isn't even sure of Benedict's title – perhaps "pope emeritus."
As early as 2010, Benedict began to look worn out: He had lost weight and didn't seem fully engaged when visiting bishops briefed him on their dioceses. But as tired as he often seemed, he would also bounce back, enduring searing heat in Benin to bless a child and gamely hanging on when a freak storm forced him to cut short a speech in Madrid in 2011.
His 89-year-old brother, Georg Ratzinger, said doctors recently advised the pope not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips.
"He has looked very, very run down," agreed U.S. Cardinal Edwin O'Brien, who attended Monday's announcement, speaking to Sirius XM's The Catholic Channel.
Benedict emphasized that to carry out the duties of being pope, "both strength of mind and body are necessary – strengths which in the last few months, have deteriorated in me."
Benedict himself raised the possibility of resigning if he were too old or sick to continue.
"If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he has a right, and under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign," Benedict said in the 2010 book "Light of the World."
But he stressed that resignation was not an option to escape a particular burden, such as the sex abuse scandal.
"When the danger is great, one must not run away. For that reason, now is certainly not the time to resign. Precisely at a time like this one must stand fast and endure the situation," he said.
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who did so in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism, a dispute among competing papal claimants. The most famous resignation was Pope Celestine V in 1294; Dante placed him in hell for it.
There are good reasons why others haven't followed suit, primarily because of the fear of a schism with two living popes. Lombardi sought to rule out such a scenario, saying church law makes clear that a resigning pope no longer has the right to govern the church.
When Benedict was elected in 2005 at age 78, he was the oldest pope chosen in nearly 300 years. At the time, he had already been planning to retire as the Vatican's chief orthodoxy watchdog to spend his final years writing in the "peace and quiet" of his native Bavaria.
On Monday, Benedict said he plans to serve the church the rest of his days "through a life dedicated to prayer."
All cardinals under age 80 are allowed to vote in the conclave, the secret meeting held in the Sistine Chapel where cardinals cast ballots for a new pope. There are currently eligible 118 cardinals – 67 appointed by Benedict.
Benedict in 2007 passed a decree requiring a two-thirds majority to elect a pope, changing the rules established by John Paul in which the voting could shift to a simple majority after about 12 days of inconclusive balloting.
Benedict did so to prevent cardinals from merely holding out until the 12 days had passed to push through a candidate who had only a slim majority.
Contenders to be Benedict's successor include Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan; Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Canadian head of the Vatican's office for bishops.
Longshots include Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York.
Although Dolan is popular and backs the pope's conservative line, being from a world superpower would probably hurt his chances.
That might also rule out Cardinal Raymond Burke, an archconservative and the Vatican's top judge, even though he is known and respected by most Vatican cardinals.
Cardinal Antonio Tagle, the archbishop of Manila, has impressed many Vatican watchers, but at 56 he is considered too young.
Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson of Ghana is one of the highest-ranking African cardinals at the Vatican, currently heading the Vatican's office for justice and peace, but he's something of a wild card.
There are several "papabiles" in Latin America, though the most well-known – Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras – is considered far too liberal to be elected by such a conservative College of Cardinals.
Whoever it is, he will face a church in turmoil: The sex abuse scandal has driven away thousands of people away from the church, particularly in Europe.
Rival churches, particularly evangelical Pentecostal groups in the developing world, pose new competition to Catholicism.
And as the pope himself has long lamented, many people in an increasingly secular world simply believe they don't need God.
