Message from Superintendent Annie McKenzie (updated September 8, 2015) I would like to welcome our students, staff, faculty, and families back to to school. We are off to a great start. I had the pleasure of riding the bus with some of our incoming Kindergarten students on the Friday before the start of school. They were excited about the year ahead and I am looking forward to witnessing the tremendous strides I know all of our incoming students will make this year. During the first week of school, I visited classrooms at Hopkins and Hadley Elementary. I was impressed with how quickly teachers and students jumped into teaching and learning. Our staff and students did a nice job of reviewing routines, especially those pertaining to school safety and security. I also observed rigorous instruction and high levels of student engagement. Our educational community has gotten right to work. Picture day makeups for HA is 11/4/2015. Please check out the links to the left (Hadley Mothers' Club, PTO, Helping Hearts, etc.) for meeting information. We encourage everyone to support these groups.

I think most of the people that comment are the frustrated ones and that's what online blogging attracts. you're paying for the kitchen not the customer service that why its such a great price. we bought the dish washer and microwave which work awesome! My brother also has a beautiful kitchen from ikea, they are good quality and look great. maybe people should know what they are getting in to and if you want it all done without getting your own hands dirty too then ikea is not for you but I myself take pride in knowing I helped design it and put it together, also the price helps:)

- To protect your watch from magnetism, we advise you to remove your watch before going through security control.
Damp conditions
- Check that the crown is fully pushed or screwed down—depending on the model—against the case in order to preserve water-resistance.
- We recommend that you prevent leather straps from coming into contact with water to avoid deformation or discoloration.
- For frequent or prolonged use in water, we recommend a steel bracelet or rubber strap.
- After each exposure to salt water, rinse the watch carefully in fresh water, then dry it.
- To prevent any infiltration of water or dust, you should make sure that your watch has passed a water-resistance check during the last 18 months with an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center or before taking a vacation.
Cold conditions
- In cold environments, we recommend keeping your watch on your wrist so that it remains close to body temperature. Below 0°C (32°F), the mechanism oil can lose fluidity and slow down the movement.
Warm conditions
- Temperatures above 60°C (140°F) can have a significant effect on the mechanism and battery life.
- Intense light can age materials used in your Victorinox Swiss Army watch, such as coatings, plastics, rubber and leather. High temperatures cause discoloration and can shorten the lifespan of the leather strap. We recommend you do not exposure your watch to extreme climate conditions.
- A sudden change in temperature may cause condensation to appear under the crystal. This does not affect the watch's functions and will soon disappear on its own. Nevertheless, it indicates a water-resistance weakness, and we recommend that you consult an authorized VSA service center.

Oklahoma City– Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak has announced Bev Binkowski as the second recipient of the Oklahoma Insurance Department's Outstanding Insurance Professional of the month Award.
Binkowski is the Director of Public Affairs for BlueCross BlueShield of Oklahoma, a division of Health Care Service Corporation, which also manages BlueCross BlueShield divisions in Illinois, Texas and New Mexico.
"I'm pleased that Bev Binkowski is our second recipient of this new award, and a very deserving one," Commissioner Doak said. "Her career with BlueCross BlueShield has been consumer-focused, emphasizing wellness and informing small businesses and the public about what insurance can do to improve their health and lifestyle."
"I'm very, truly honored, and very surprised" to be recognized as Oklahoma's Insurance Professional of the Month, Binkowski said. "It's something I never, ever would have expected."
Binkowski's tenure in the insurance business began as a customer service representative with Blue Cross of Michigan, shortly after she graduated from Central Michigan University. Moving to Oklahoma in 1983, she earned her producer's license in 1984-85 and worked for BlueCross BlueShield in several capacities, including product design, marketing to small businesses, and marketing Medicare supplemental coverage. Her areas of expertise include health and wellness, which she notes are fields of major interest as the nation looks for ways to improve the public health and reduce the escalating costs of health care.
Binkowski is also very involved in the community, having served on the boards of directors for the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, the United Way of Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Caring Foundation (a mobile immunization network). She has been an active volunteer and a member of the American Red Cross of Central Oklahoma's board of directors for 12 years, is active in the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce, serving as chairwoman of its Congressional Relations Committee, and is a member of Rotary Club 29 – "The Downtown Rotary Club." She has also held roles on the boards of the Lyn Research Institute and the Oklahoma Association of Health Plans, and on the OU Breast Research Institute Board of Advisors.
A native of Michigan, Binkowski makes her home in Edmond with her three golden retrievers, Hunter, Summer and Carson.

Pacha (Inca mythology)

|Kingdom of Cusco · Inca Empire
|(Civil War · Spanish conquest)
|Neo-Inca State
The pacha (often translated as world) was an Incan concept for dividing the different spheres of the cosmos in Incan mythology. There were three different levels of pacha: the hanan pacha or hanaq pacha (Quechua, meaning "world above"), ukhu pacha ("world below"), and kay pacha ("this world").[1][2] The realms are not solely spatial, but were simultaneously spatial and temporal.[3] Although the universe was considered a unified system within Incan cosmology, the division between the worlds was part of the dualism prominent in Incan beliefs. This dualism found that everything which existed had both features of any feature (both hot and cold, positive and negative, dark and light, etc.).[4]
Meaning of Pacha[edit]
Pacha is often translated as "world" in Quechua, but the concept also includes a temporal context of meaning.[3] Catherine J. Allen writes that "The Quechua word pacha may refer to the whole cosmos or to a specific moment in time, with interpretation depending on the context."[5] Allen thus chooses to translate the term as "world-moment.",[5] Pachas overlap and interact in Incan cosmology presenting both a material order and a moral order.[5] Dr. Atuq Eusebio Manga Qespi, native Quechua speaker, directly states that Pacha should be translated to Spanish as tiempo-espacio (spacetime in English).[6]
Hanan pacha[edit]
The upper realm that included the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, and constellations (of particular importance being the milky way) was called hanan pacha (in Quechua) or alaxpacha (in Aymara).[7][8] The hanan pacha was inhabited by both Inti, the masculine sun god, and Mama Killa, the feminine and moon goddess.[3] In addition, the Illapa, the god of thunder and lightning, also existed in the hanan pacha realm.[3] After Catholic missionary activity the hanan pacha was interpreted as akin to Heaven.[9]
Kay pacha[edit]
Kay pacha (in Quechua) or aka pacha (in Aymara)[7] is the perceptible world where people, animals, plants all inhabit. Kay pacha is often impacted by the struggle between hanan pacha and ukhu pacha.[3]
Ukhu pacha[edit]
Ukhu pacha (alternatively urin pacha (in Quechua)), manqhapacha or manqhipacha (in Aymara)[7] is the inner world. Ukhu pacha is associated with the dead as well as with new life.[8] As the realm of new life, the realm is associated with harvesting and Pachamama, the fertility goddess.[10] As the realm associated with the dead, ukhu pacha is inhabited by the supay, a group of demons that would torment the living.[10]
Human disruptions of the ukhu pacha were considered a sacred matter and ceremonies and rituals were often associated with disturbances of the surface. In Incan custom, during the time of tilling for potato crops the disturbance of the soil was met with a host of sacred rituals.[11] Similarly, rituals often brought food, drink (often alcoholic) and other comforts to cave openings for the spirits of ancestors.[10]
When the Spanish conquered the area, rituals about ukhu pacha became crucial in missionary activity and mining operations. Brown contends that the dualistic nature and rituals surrounding openings to ukhu pacha may have made it easier to initially get indigenous laborers to work in the mines.[12] However, at the same time, because mining was considered a perturbation of "subterranean life and the spirits that ruled it; they yielded to sacredness that did not belong to the familiar universe, a deeper and riskier sacredness."[12] In order to insure that the perturbation did not cause evil in the miners or the world, indigenous populations made traditional offering to the supay. However, Catholic missionaries preached that the supay were purely evil and equated them with the devil and hell and thus prohibited offerings.[12] Ritual surrounding ukhu pacha thus retained importance even after Spanish conquest.
Connections between pachas[edit]
Although the different worlds are distinct, there is a variety of connections between them. Caves and springs serve as connections between ukhu pacha and kay pacha. Rainbows and lightning serve as connections between hanan pacha and kay pacha.[8] In addition, human spirits after death could inhabit any of the levels. Some would remain in kay pacha until they had finished business, while others might move to the other levels.[9]
The most significant connection between the different levels was at Pachakutiq or a cataclysm. These were the instances when the different levels would all impact one another transforming the entire order of the world. These could come as a result of earthquakes or of other cataclysmic events.[3]

Heli-Assisted Ski Touring
The Best of Both Worlds! Ski Touring with Helicopter Support.
Discover the beautiful Bella Coola Mountains by using both helicopters and your "low speed" quads. Our Heli Assisted Ski Touring program is the perfect hybrid of Alpine Touring and Helicopter Skiing: more exploration and freedom than touring, and more economical than traditional heli skiing.
Trip Highlights
- Heli drop first thing in the morning for a warm up run first thing in the morning
- Ski and tour in a different area every day enjoying the varied views
- Stay in a comfortable lodge at night with superb food and massages
- Enjoy the serenity of the beautiful and rugged mountains surrounding Bella Coola while getting exercise
- Option to ski additional heli runs when conditions warrant it
The day starts with a heli drop high in the alpine, a bonus heli run so to speak. The remainder of the day the group uses their "low speed" quads and generally can ski another 2-3 runs before hitching a ride on the helicopter back down to the lodge.
The days' pace and objectives are formulated in conjunction with the guide starting the previous evening and on an on going basis throughout the day. We want to make it clear that these trips do not need to be backbreaking expeditions. The emphasis is to have fun and enjoy the beautiful Bella Coola mountains while getting a decent bit of exercise at the same time.
A particular advantage is that every day you can ski in a different geographic area. One day it can be by the fjords, the next near the ice cap and the big glaciers, then in the Big Snow Zone or some nice tree runs. We can also engineer traverses of terrain where you end the day in a totally different zone from the start of the day. This variety is of course not possible when you book a trip at a ski touring lodge where you end up skiing the same couple bowls every day.
The best thing about the program is the flexibility to do additional heli runs when and if the group decides it wants to do so. For example, once you are already up in the mountains it doesn't take much additional flying time to do a second drop and a third or fourth or alternatively, to do one additional heli drop in the afternoon when the machine is back to pick you up.
We recommend coming later in March or during April. By this time the days are longer and the weather is generally a bit more settled. It'll be getting on to spring in the valley, but the snow will still be powder in the alpine so no worries on that score. However, it's possible to do this program any time starting early January through to the end of May. Each month has its particular attractions and advantages.
If you'd like to get a feel for our program, there's a great article on it here: Mountain Life (Coast Mountains).
Ski and tour all day and experience true adventure then return to a warm bed and personalized Canadian hospitality at the Eagle Lodge, located near the village of Bella Coola and just 5 minutes from the Bella Coola Airport.
Educational Value
Our goal is to share our knowledge of the magnificent mountains. Our guides are well versed in the local flora, fauna, history and culture of this dramatic landscape. They are happy to share their mountain skills too.

Snowden deja vuJuly 03,2013
Snowden deja vu
The Edward Snowden mess and his secret spying report reminds me of the Bob Lazar secret UFO/flying saucer fiasco report. These two men have a lot in common. They both are your basic high IQ, all brains, genius, they kind of look the part of the studious know-it-all with glasses, they both are approximately 30 years old when they disclose the classified info, (Lazar age 33 in 1989 and Snowden age 30 in 2013), they both worked for the federal government at secret places, and they both went to the media to report their tales of woe. Lazar said he was working as a physicist at Area 51 and Snowden at the National Security Agency. The problem for Lazar is he could never prove anything he said about reverse engineering alien flying saucers, etc. Now, Snowden has the same problem. If all the things he is alleging are top secret, how will he prove any of it? He is now a hunted man and wanted for crimes in the USA. He is seeking asylum in a foreign land where he thinks hell be safe. Lazar was never charged with anything because it was all denied and proven to be fake. Snowden will no doubt suffer the same fate or much worse. These guys should have gone to their boss or their local congressman instead of the media. Theyd be a lot less famous and a lot better off.

DGAP-News: WILEX AG successfully completes capital reduction DGAP-News: WILEX AG / Key word(s): Capital Reorganisation WILEX AG successfully completes capital reduction 15.07.2014 / 07:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESS RELEASE WILEX AG successfully completes capital reduction - Reverse 4:1 share split reduces number of outstanding shares from 31.3 million to 7.8 million - Conversion of shares in deposit accounts and on stock exchanges takes place on 18 July 2014 Munich, 15 July 2014 - WILEX AG (ISIN DE0006614720 / WL6 / FSE) today announced that the capital reduction resolved by the Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2014 has been implemented in a 4:1 ratio according to plan. The entry of the capital reduction in the commercial register on 09 July 2014 reduced the number of outstanding no par value shares by 23,456,628 to 7,818,876 through consolidation of the shares in the ratio of 4:1. Prior to this, as also resolved by the Annual General Meeting, the company's share capital had been reduced by three shares from 31,275,507 to 31,275,504 to obtain an even reduction ratio for the ordinary capital reduction. This measure does not affect the percentage shareholdings of the individual shareholders of WILEX AG. However, starting on 18 July 2014 the converted WILEX shares will be traded on stock exchanges under the new international securities identification number ISIN DE000A11QVV0, ticker symbol WL6. As a result of the reverse split, the share capital of WILEX AG will be reduced by EUR 23,456,628.00 to EUR 7,818,876.00. The difference of EUR 23,456,628.00 will be reclassified on the liabilities side of the balance sheet of WILEX AG from subscribed capital to capital reserves. Equity and total assets remain unchanged. A fractional rights regulation is planned for shareholders whose number of shares is not divisible by four on the evening of 17 July 2014. Shareholders can decide individually whether they wish to purchase or surrender 0.25 to 0.75 fractional rights of WILEX under the fractional rights regulation. For this, shareholders will receive an instruction form from their custodian bank after 18 July 2014. If shareholders do not instruct their custodian bank to round their shareholdings up or down, the share fractions in question will be automatically sold and the proceeds credited to the corresponding shareholders.

Elizabeth Smart: I admire 3 Ohio kidnap survivors
Published November 6, 2013 10:30 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Bowling Green, Ohio • Elizabeth Smart says she admires the strength shown by the three women who were kidnapped and held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade.
Smart was in northwest Ohio on Tuesday at Bowling Green State University. She spoke about how she survived nine months of captivity after being abducted in Utah when she was just 14. Last month, Smart released a book about her experience.
The Courier newspaper in Findlay reports (http://bit.ly/HzGwNG ) that Smart told students that she has not talked with Cleveland women, who escaped their captor in May. She says she won't push herself on them because she knows the value of privacy.

The site is 90% complete and now needs configuring and production setup. We are using Wordpress/GetShopped on a custom theme. There is a potential for more work directly with this client if this job goes well.

Containerboard and corrugated packaging is admittedly not the most exciting of market sectors, and it is most definitely a commodity market. But not all commodities are quite the same, and Packaging Corp (NYSE:PKG) has built a solid defensible niche by running low-cost mills and focusing on specialty products and regional customers that companies like International Paper (NYSE:IP) and Rock-Tenn (NYSE:RKT) do not. While Packaging Corp (aka "PCA") is rightly well-respected within the industry for its patient, conservative approach, it's worth wondering if there's enough growth here to really appeal to investors.
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
Surprisingly Strong Second Quarter Results
At least by the standards of the paper and packaging sector, PCA had a surprisingly solid second quarter. While industry shipment trends have been pretty much flat, PCA reported a nearly 7% increase in shipments atop 5% production growth. Coupled with solid pricing, PCA saw revenue growth of over 7%, with organic growth in excess of 3%.
Margins were also quite solid. Gross margin improved more than a full point, helped by lower energy costs as well as lower prices for chemicals and recycled fibers. Management also kept a firm hand on expenses, resulting in operating income growth of about 23%.
SEE: Understanding The Income Statement
Good Times Never Last...but Neither Do Bad Times
It may be reasonable to argue that the present environment is not one where PCA really shines. Relative to IP, Rock-Tenn, KapStone (NYSE:KS) and the like, PCA runs very cost-efficient mills. So while low natural gas prices and lower chemical prices are a help, the benefits arguably don't show as strongly.
Pricing is always a key talking point here as well. While the company's focus on higher-margin specialty projects shelters it somewhat, industry pricing trends still matter a great deal. To that end, it will be interesting to see if a recent price hike from KapStone sticks and/or whether a Smurfit Kappa plant closure impacts export pricing.
Play the Hand or Risk Shuffling the Deck?
One of the problems with a stock like PCA for long-term investors is that there is just not that much underlying growth in the market. PCA is a pretty small player (so far, at least) on the global market, and the U.S. market for food/beverage packaging is not really a high-growth opportunity.
With IP and Rock-Tenn together holding over 50% of the market, maybe there's a deal to be done between PCA and Koch brothers' Georgia-Pacific. Honestly, I don't see much point in it. Management under Koch Industries has brought a lot of expense reduction and efficiency to GP, and while GP may well want to free up resources to dive deeper into building products ahead of a sector rebound, I don't see that PCA has enough to gain to balance out the debt and risk involved.
The trouble with running a differentiated niche business with low-cost plants is that large mergers don't necessarily bring much benefit to the table. I suspect that if PCA does anything, it will be to focus on buying up small operators that either lack scale to compete effectively or can bring in worthwhile accounts and/or product types.

I expect Packaging Corp's free cash flow to improve significantly now that major capex investments have been made, and for the free cash flow margin to return to the high single-digits (and perhaps very low double-digits in a few years). Unfortunately, even with these improvements there's not all that much value left in the shares. Both an EV/EBITDA model and a discounted cash flow analysis suggest fair value of between $30 and $34 - so while the company offers a good dividend and a well-run business, I don't see a real money-making opportunity in the stock over the short-term.

Opinion: Advice to GOP Debaters - You Can't Run on 'No'
You'd think the Republicans would be smiling. The economy shows no signs of turning by the 2012 election, a bad sign for any incumbent. The GOP caucus in the Capitol has ensured that Democrats can't govern effectively, giving the president very little to run on in his re-election bid. And Obama is facing criticism and dissatisfaction from all sides.
So why has the Republican Party become so unhappy with their crop of presidential hopefuls that they keep hoping for even more aspirants to enter the race? The conservative electorate seems more excited by the people who aren't running (ahem, Chris Christie of New Jersey) than by any of the team of candidates who will take the stage tonight for the Republican debate.
Mitt Romney has an endless flow of campaign cash and has been running for years. Tim Pawlenty can point to two terms as the governor of an important swing state. Newt Gingrich was once the pioneer of his party. Michele Bachmann has been the darling of the new right wing. Ron Paul helped spark this whole Tea Party energy.
And yet, despite these credentials, and despite the unpopularity of their rival party, Republicans don't really believe any of these candidates can get the job done.
Maybe it's because these candidates spend more time running away from tough topics than they do running for president. Maybe it's because saying no is a good negotiating tactic in Washington, but not an inspired vision for governing. Or maybe you just sometimes like a temperament - like Bachmann or Paul - when they are a supporting character, but can't imagine them playing the lead.
So, a note to the GOP hopefuls: in tonight's debate, be a leader.
It's easy to criticize President Obama (I do it at least once a week on It's A Free Country) and maybe popular too - but anyone can do that a leader needs to do more. It's easy to call for cuts, but tell us what you'll cut. And tell us your priorities for funding and how you'll fund them. Tell us something that isn't obvious: Like where you disagree with The Tea Party or see common ground with the Democrats. Tell us you have a vision for a great America - not an every-man-for-himself country, but a society we'd all be proud, where we again believe next generation will be better off than our last.
Tell us how our nation can be a leader - neither a follower nor an aggressor, not insular or everyone's police force - in the global community.
It's hard. When you say something bold, you get attacked. When you break from the party line, you get slammed. When you get noticed, you get criticized.
But if you don't get noticed, you don't get remembered…and voters will keep dreaming of the Garden State's chief executive bully.

Nebulized Magnesium Sulfate in Children With Moderate to Severe Asthma Exacerbation
Official Title
Nebulized Magnesium Sulfate Versus Normal Saline as a Vehicle for Albuterol in Children With Moderate to Severe Asthma Exacerbation: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nebulized magnesium sulfate as
a vehicle for albuterol in children with moderate to severe asthma exacerbation.
Patients presenting to the Emergency Department for acute asthma exacerbation will receive
standard care of up to three doses of albuterol and ipratropium bromide plus oral steroid
medication. Those seven years of age and older who require further treatment will be
screened for eligibility. Eligibility screening will comprise measurement of forced
expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) with a bedside spirometer by a respiratory therapist.
Children under the age of seven are generally unable to complete spirometry maneuvers and
will thus be excluded. The Pediatric Asthma Severity Score (PASS) will also be noted by a
respiratory therapist. Patients able to complete spirometry testing and with an FEV1 less
than 70% of predicted (the definition of moderate asthma exacerbation) will be enrolled.
Enrolled patients will be randomized to receive either Children's Medical Center standard
care of 15 mg albuterol diluted in 22 ml of normal saline or the study intervention of 15 mg
of albuterol diluted in 22 ml of magnesium sulfate solution. This solution will be prepared
at the time of use by a pharmacist in the Emergency Department and will consist of 22 ml of
a commercially available 40 mg/ml magnesium sulfate solution (880 mg). The nebulizer
treatment will be given over approximately one hour via a large volume nebulizer at 25
ml/hr. Physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists will be blinded to the diluent used.
Vital signs will be noted at baseline. Heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory rate, and pulse
oximetry will be monitored continuously while blood pressure will be measured at baseline
and every 15 minutes during study medication administration. The study physician, treating
physician, and/or bedside nurse will monitor these values for any clinically significant
changes. At the end of the 15 mg albuterol treatment FEV1 and PASS will again be noted. Any
further treatments needed, as determined by the treating physician, will be given following
Children's Medical Center standard of care. At the discretion of the treating physician
intravenous magnesium sulfate may be used post study intervention. The dose used for study
participants will be the Children's Medical Center standard dose of 75 mg/kg (max 3 g) minus
880 mg to avoid the risk of magnesium sulfate overdose. Further treatments and patient
disposition will be observed by study personnel and noted. Bounce-back rates will be
collected by review of enrolled patients' medical record.
Participant Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients age ≥ seven years
- Previous diagnosis of asthma or previous episode of wheezing treated with
beta-agonist medication
- Able to complete bedside spirometry
- FEV1 < 70% predicted
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known allergy to magnesium sulfate
- Known contra-indication to albuterol
- Respiratory distress occurring as a result of bedside spirometry
- History of neuromuscular disease, cardiac disease, renal disease, or underlying
chronic lung disease
- Pregnancy
- Use of oral steroid medication within 72 hours of presentation
- Radiographic evidence of pneumonia at presentation
- Intubation during the current encounter prior to study enrollment
- Administration of intravenous magnesium sulfate prior to study enrollment
- Prior participation in this study

Cedric Benson gains 150 yards as Bengals end losing streak
CINCINNATI -- Cedric Benson blinked back tears as he stood in front of his locker, still wearing his black No. 32 jersey. He couldn't stop them all.
A lone teardrop slid down his right cheek, getting wiped away before it reached his tell-all smile.
Benson ran the Bengals out of their record-matching slump on Sunday, picking up a season-high 150 yards and scoring a touchdown as the focal point of an offense that flattened the Cleveland Browns 19-17 on Sunday.
Felt like old times.
"I feel tremendous," he said. "A lot of joy right now. My elbows and arms are sore and things like that, which feels great. It feels good to work."
And to win.
The Bengals (3-11) hadn't done that since Sept. 26, falling into a torturous streak longer than even "The T.Ocho Show" featuring their two attention-loving receivers. Terrell Owens was on the sideline with a knee injury for the long-awaited win.
Instead, Cincinnati took a straight-ahead approach against the Browns (5-9), reverting to the run-based attack that won the AFC North last season and changed significantly after Owens was signed. The 37-year-old receiver became the Bengals' most productive player while the running game broke down.
Benson didn't understand it.
"I was sending out warning signals earlier, talking about how we've got to stay with the running game, just get the spark, the energy, the identity developed," Benson said. "We kind of became a one-man show for a minute there."
They were again on Sunday, with a different leader.
"It was exciting," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "We've wanted to pound the rock like that for a while and get a chance to unleash the boss man on them, and we did."
A week after he carried only eight times for 19 yards and got outrushed by Ben Roethlisberger in a 23-7 loss in Pittsburgh, Benson had another big game against the Browns, who clinched their 10th losing record in 12 years since returning as an expansion team.
"In my mind, we should be able to stop the run," Browns coach Eric Mangini said. "That's a big part of playing in this division, and you should be able to get that done."
Only 56,542 fans showed up to see the so-called "Battle of Ohio," the third straight Bengals home game blacked out on local television.
Wasn't all that much to see.
A matchup of two struggling offenses produced more field goals than touchdowns. Clint Stitser made four of them, remaining perfect on seven field goal tries since the Bengals signed him in late November. The rookie was good from 25, 39, 34 and 20 yards.
The Browns got a touchdown pass from rookie Colt McCoy on a trick play that completed their opening drive, then did little until a Bengal breakdown made it interesting at the end. Receiver Brian Robiskie got free down the sideline against a broken coverage for a 46-yard touchdown pass with 2:13 to go, cutting it to 19-17.
With only two timeouts left, the Browns went for the onside kick and Cincinnati's Quan Cosby recovered, allowing the Bengals to finish it off.
"We've just got to do a better job of staying on the field," said McCoy, who was 19 of 25 for 243 yards with no interceptions and four sacks.
"A big part of that is us. We've got to sustain drives. We can't get into a slump and put ourselves in that situation over and over. We could not get a ground game going."
The Bengals' losing streak began with a 23-20 loss in Cleveland on Oct. 3, where Owens had one of the best games of his career -- 10 catches for 222 yards. The streak eventually matched Dave Shula's 1993 team for longest losing streak in one Bengals season.
It ended without a catch by Owens, who missed practice last week with torn cartilage in his left knee and hobbled off the field during Cincinnati's opening drive after running a long route. The injury will likely sideline him for the final two games.
From then on, it was up to Benson. The running back, who is on the final year of his contract, carried a season-high 31 times during his third 100-yard game of the season. He broke an 18-yard touchdown run in the second quarter for Cincinnati's first points.
Cleveland got creative on the opening drive, catching the Bengals by surprise. Only three linemen got set in the middle of the field while the other players fanned out toward the sidelines. Tight end Robert Royal outran the coverage down the sideline for a 20-yard touchdown catch.
Mangini has decided to let McCoy start the last three games. How McCoy does could have an impact on whether Mangini keeps his job.
Game notes
The Browns were flagged for not keeping their sideline clear during a kickoff return. Teams were reminded of the rule last week in response to a Jets assistant coach tripping a Dolphins player. ... CB Eric Wright hurt his left knee in the fourth quarter and had to be helped off the field. ... Bengals WR Jerome Simpson was active for only the fourth time this season and had two catches for 30 yards. Coming into the game, the second-round pick from 2008 had one career catch for 2 yards.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
08 Aug 2012 08:28 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Israel, Palestine, United States
Ben White is a freelance journalist, writer and activist, specialising in Palestine/Israel.
How Israel can breach international law, commit systematic human rights abuses and colonise Palestine with impunity is typically blamed on the role of the USA, for which there is plenty of supporting evidence: from the UN Security Council veto to significant financial and military support.
But the strength and high-profile of the US-Israel relationship has meant that the role of other parties in shielding Israel's apartheid regime has not been subjected to the critical scrutiny it deserves, particularly the case with the European Union.
While those on the hard right portray the EU as representing a continent of anti-Semitic Israel-bashers on the path to "Eurabia", the reality is that the EU is one of Israel's most important allies - whose policies are playing a crucial role in
Cambridge, UK - How Israel can breach international law, commit systematic human rights abuses and colonise Palestine with impunity is typically blamed on the role of the US, for which there is plenty of supporting evidence: from the UN Security Council veto to significant financial and military support.
While those on the hard right portray the EU as representing a continent of anti-Semitic Israel-bashers on the path to "Eurabia", the reality is that the EU is one of Israel's most important allies - whose policies are playing a crucial role in frustrating the Palestinian struggle for justice.
The problem in a nutshell - a gaping disparity between rhetoric and deeds - was exemplified recently by the contrast between a European Parliament resolution on the one hand, and plans to enhance economic ties on the other.
[The European Parliament] Calls for full and effective implementation of existing EU legislation and EU-Israel bilateral agreements to ensure that the EU control mechanism - the "technical arrangements"- does not allow Israeli settlement products to be imported to the European market under the preferential terms of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
Last month, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted 291 to 274 (with 39 abstentions) in favour of a resolution covering a wide number of issues related to the peace process, and events on the ground in Palestine/Israel.
The resolution noted a range of human rights abuses experienced by Palestinians under occupation, including "planning restrictions and the consequent acute house shortage, house demolitions, evictions and displacements, [and] confiscation of land". It emphasised that Israel's illegal settlements "are subsidised by the Israeli Government with considerable incentives".
The Parliament went as far as saying that the very "Palestinian presence" in the West Bank "has been undermined by Israeli Government policies", and made an unprecedented linkage between the "forced transfer" of "Arab Bedouin communities" in both "the occupied Palestinian Territory and in the Negev".
The resolution also stressed "that Israel's commitment to respect its obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law towards the Palestinian population must be taken into full consideration in the EU's bilateral relations with the country".
Yet less than three weeks later, the EU decided to upgrade relations with Israel in a host of areas, drawing widespread condemnation from those who, like Caabu Director Chris Doyle, felt that such a decision "rewards criminal activity and will only encourage more", thus "undermin[ing] the EU's reputation in the Middle East and any claims to support human rights".
Youth activist group Palestinians for Dignity condemned the move, saying they would protest the EU's "complicity" in Israel's occupation until the upgrade is halted. Three Israeli NGOs (Adalah, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel) released a joint statement emphasising that "concrete improvements in Israel's human rights conduct on the ground must steer any enhancement of its trade relations with Israel".
The EU's approach makes a mockery of the way in which "the observance of human rights and democracy" are said to "form the very basis" of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. This inability to sanction Israel for routine breaches of international law is a microcosm of the approach of the self-appointed guardians of negotiations, the Quartet.
The EU remains deeply wedded to the discredited, flawed peace process, repeating ad nauseam the need for a return to talks, even as its officials and MEPs sign off on report after report, documenting Israeli policies of ethnic cleansing, segregation and discrimination.
Part of that means EU support for the Palestinian Authority (PA), the financially unviable, donor-reliant, security "partner" for the Israeli military. European Commission President Jose Barroso opened a college for "police sciences" in Jericho in July, days after Palestinian security forces had beaten protesters angry at Mahmoud Abbas' invite to Shaul Mofaz. During this trip to the region, Barroso told an audience in Haifa that "Europe and Israel" are both "staunchly committed to a vibrant civil society, respect for human rights and rights of people belonging to minorities".
While the recent European Parliament resolution correctly recorded many of Israel's crimes, votes in Strasbourg and Brussels are meaningless - or even counter-productive - when not backed up by action. The EU represents 35 per cent of Israel's total imports and is the second largest market for exports behind the USA. There is room for significant leverage here (and the EU is also the largest donor to the PA).
For now, the EU's foreign policy is an obstacle to a just peace and the realisation of the Palestinian people's basic rights, a sad reality that is unlikely to change without significant pressure from the citizens of member states.
