While women's side hit the road, the men's side will hit the gym
They call it the Christmas break, but it doesn't mean a whole lot to Memorial Sea-Hawks men's and women's varsity basketball players.

MUN men's basketball player Caleb Gould (33) pulls down a rebound during a game against the St. Francis Xavier X-Men at the Field House last month. Coach Peter Benoite plans to keep his team in the gym over the holiday break.
While most of the players from outside the province head home for Christmas after exams, they'll be back on court a couple of days later.
And, while they are away from the court, "they will be given expectations in terms of what they are doing physically and skill wise," according to Memorial Sea-Hawks women's basketball coach Doug Partridge.
The veteran MUN mentor said it isn't a good idea for the players to stay out of the gym during the break.
"We have a nice trip to Montreal Dec. 27 and play in a tournament, which should give us a chance to hammer some things out," said Partridge of his 2-4 Sea-Hawks.
The men's team isn't playing in a tournament outside of the province during the break, but both coaches feel the players need to play.
"Getting away from the gym is a recipe for poor play after Christmas which we can't afford," warns Partridge, and men's coach Peter Benoite agrees. "Those who train over Christmas will be ready to contribute, and those who don't will get a great seat at the games to watch those that did,"
"Getting away from the gym is not really an option this time of year," said Benoite.
"I've found that guys that take the break off are not ready for the second half of the year, and subsequently not able to perform," he said.
"So guys have to find a way to get workouts in and work on their game around exams," added Benoite. "The serious player finds time to do this, of course."
Benoite's charges will be back on the court Dec. 28.
"However, with injuries that's always a bit different. I'll be recommending some guys just train for a couple of weeks and avoid the quick cuts that's involved in playing, to let the injuries rehab," explained Benoite.
Benoite said the winless Sea-Hawks will be doing a training camp over the Christmas holidays, as opposed to a tournament.
"Hopefully," he said, "we'll get a couple of games with our alumni to help us be game-ready for the second half of the year. We haven't done that the last number of years, as we've usually played over Christmas, but I like the idea of doing it, as we have no restrictions on how much we can practice. Since there are no classes, we can 100 per cent focus on basketball.
"We'll be holding some practices times for individuals and scrimmages, but overall, the expectation is that they will come back in shape, and ready to play to basketball," Benoite said.
Benoite said most of his players who live outside the province will be going home for Christmas, except for Vasilije Curcic and Alpha Kisusi. Curcic is from Serbia, while Kisusi is from Tanzania.
In the meantime, there's been no decision yet on whether or not the Sea-Hawks men's team will continue their early morning practices in the new year.
"Overall, we have liked the early mornings," said Benoite.
He said he is just waiting on class schedules for next semester to see if it makes sense to continue with the 6:45 a.m. workouts.
"One problem we may run it to is that Noel (Moffatt) will be on a work term and will most likely have to be at work 8 or 8:30 in the morning. That may cause some issues for the morning practices," Benoite explained.
Both MUN teams return to AUS action the second weekend in January when they take on Acadia University in a pair of four-point games in Wolfville, N.S.

Headlines from Garry Monk's pre-Burnley press conference.
- Tight-lipped on new transfers. Still hopeful of getting new faces in but refuses to name names.
- Confirms no bid was made for Jonathan de Guzman who has joined Napoli.
- New signing Federico Fernandez is still awaiting international clearance to play against Burnley.
- Praises Gylfi Sigurdsson for his form after returning to the club.
- Refuses to take Burnley for granted this weekend.
Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog ahead of the Swansea City press conference today.
Swans boss Garry Monk will speak to the press at circa 2pm and we'll be bringing you all his views ahead of Saturday's clash with Burnley at the Liberty Stadium.
Stay tuned.
Of course yesterday we had the news Monk had added Argentinian centre-half Federico Fernandez to his squad for a fee believed to be in the region of £8m.
But he's not stopping there.
Read about the club's interest in Montpellier midfielder Benjamin Stambouli here.
Question raised from this Chris Wathan tweet.
Is Wilfried Bony one of the toughest strikers to face in the Premier League?
Paul Scholes: "As for Chris Smalling...there were times when Wilfried Bony seemed to get the better of him physically." Was he surprised?— Chris Wathan (@ChrisWathan) August 21, 2014
A reminder, just in case you needed it, of Federico Fernandez's move to Swansea which was confirmed yesterday.
We are delighted to confirm the signing of @sscnapoli defender Federico Fernandez -http://t.co/KEDxlax3dR #swans pic.twitter.com/XMKuu2xvbl— Swansea City FC (@SwansOfficial) August 20, 2014
While we wait for the arrival of Mr Monk, here's the latest from Chris Wathan on the move for Stambouli.
L'Equipe claiming Swansea's improved bid for Benjamin Stamnbouli is £3.2m (4m euros) after original £2.4m. Interested Fiorentina yet to bid— Chris Wathan (@ChrisWathan) August 21, 2014
By the way, we're expecting the arrival of Mr Monk at around 2pm.
Plenty to discuss of course, including that superb opening day win over Manchester United, the weekend's game with Burnley and any moves in the transfer market.
We'll be bringing you all the latest as we have it.
While we wait, why not remember the Old Trafford victory in pictures?
You know you want to!
On a more light hearted note, I wonder if Garry Monk will step up to this particular challenge?
Maybe we'll hear from him on it this afternoon?
Over to you @GarryMonk16 Boxing champ nominates Swans boss for #IceBucketChallenge http://t.co/EYRqMJodo2 pic.twitter.com/DG3U71Kse1— Swansea City Online (@JacksBanter) August 20, 2014
More Swansea City news...
And new stopper Lukasz Fabianski says he's staying grounded despite the opening day win at Old Trafford.
In other news, reports suggesting Liverpool have agreed a £16m fee to sign Mario Balotelli from AC Milan.
Does that mean the end of Liverpool's interest in Wilfried Bony?
How big a boost would it be for the Swans to keep hold of the Ivorian?
Garry Monk is in the building!
His thoughts from the Liberty Stadium to follow.
VINE: #Swans boss Garry Monk has arrived for his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's clash with ... https://t.co/0oEsZTnz4e— Swansea City FC (@SwansOfficial) August 21, 2014
Monk on his side's reaction since that Old Trafford win...
"They've been good. I said straight away about refocussing. We could enjoy the result but we came back in to focus on Burnley.
"The players know it but you make sure you're on top and that they're 100% committed to what we want to do against Burley.
"The players have managed each other very well and we've had a good week's training. You can never tell till you cross the white line but they understand how important it is to perfom again."
Monk's thoughts on the beaten Manchester United...
"The most important thing was the three points and it will be the same again this weekend.
"It's always a good feeling to beat big teams and when no-one gives you a chance it makes it sweeter.
"But it's the first game of the season, there's a lot more games to come and I said afterwards we knew can improve on that."
The big question...did Monk speak to Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford?
"I didn't get the chance to speak to him with all the media surrounding his appointment and the game.
"A few of my staff spoke to their staff but I didn't get the chance personally.
"After the media commitments everyone was on the bus ready to go."
Ice cool Gylfi!
"I'm not surprised by how quickly he's settled," says Monk.
"We knew he could add quality and I knew he had come back a better player and he was a good player when he left.
"He can improve on certain areas and we've spoken about that but all the players did well."
On the challenge of Burnley...
Is it a case of after the Lord Mayor's show?
"There is a concern which is why I've stressed to them.
"We know how important it is to follow up. Theres' no guarantees but if we can get preparations as best as possible it gives you a chance of delivering a performance you're happy with and you can win a game.
"Burnley will be a hard working team, they are together, work for each other and can be a threat.
"I watched the game with Chelsea. Chelsea were very very good. Burnley started well and got their goal but this is the difference at this level when you come up against players of their standards.
"There's always a chance they can turn it on and play their best which I thought they did. Some of the football was unstoppable."
Monk is asked for his thoughts between the top and bottom of the Premier League...
"Burnley have set their stall out, Sean's done a good job and they are similar to us where people are saying rip up the squad and get experience.
"But we didn't, we kept a nucleus to achieve what we wanted and that's the best thing you can do.
"The levels go up ten fold in the Premier League but if you have a group that will put it on the in line then you give yourself a chance."
The million dollar question! Any more signings due soon?
"There are targets we're trying to negotiate with, it takes time with clubs and agents involved but hopefully we'll have one or two in before the end of the widnow.
"Names come up all the time, but until the players are done and dusted I don't want to talk about them.
"Every club tries to identify players but it's not about putting out in public. There are no offers mad, there are offers here there and everywhere.
One Jonathan de Guzman's move to Napoli...
"It's a good move for him but there wasn't an offer from us. We wish him all the best and Napoli have got themsleves a good player."
More from Monk...
"It's easy to say when we've had a good win – but there will be ups and downs through the seaosn.
"But the boys are focused and what we want to do is believe in it. We focus on the process to get the right results which is training.
"If we are at our best in training, nine times out of 10, you will get a performance at the end of it. I felt the Swansea way is back but there's a long, long way to go before we're where I feel we should be and we will be working hard on that."
Monk is asked his thoughts on Swansea being tipped for relegation...
"I don't care what people say. They have their opinions, so it's fne. But the only thing that can affect us is ourlsves. We have to be focused, we believe in putting a plan in place.
"Hopefully the boys believe it too and we can get stronger as the season goes on."
Monk pictured talking to the press...
Garry Monk urges #Swans to follow up #mufc win with another victory against @BurnleyOfficial.

Business exchange
In the India Project, which began in May 2008 and will continue until December 2009, contacts are being made and developed between Blekinge, Sweden, and a highly interesting growth area in southeastern India. The India project focuses on the cities of Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore, which form a growth triangle in southeastern India. The area is one of the fastest growing IT and telecom regions in the world.
The project focuses on:
- Facilitation of business contacts between India and Blekinge, within IT, telecom and technology enterprises
- Research, especially with a focus on mobile e-services for citizens
- Extensive exchange between students and teachers at colleges and universities in Blekinge and India and to take better advantage of the expertise that Indian students in Blekinge can contribute
As part of the project we are building a network of contacts, with offices in both Blekinge and India, which will provide support and advice to businesses, students and researchers who have contacts in India and Blekinge.
What can the India Project offer companies in Blekinge?
- Practical matchmaking with companies in India - we have an on-site network in India to help. Fill in our corporate presentation template and we will make arrangements with contacts in India.
- Information about partnering with Indian enterprises and about cultural differences; how do we do business in India?
- Participation at our seminars. You can find them under the heading Activities/seminars (link).
- Travel to the area in India on a trip that the India Project is planning for late 2009.
India is home to 1.1 billion people. IT and telecom are undergoing strong growth.
The percentage of mobile users is already very high.
The number of mobile subscriptions is increasing by more than 5 million - every month!
The majority of these subscribers do not have computers, so the mobile phone becomes the key to information and interaction with the rest of the world for both private individuals and businesses.
Other fields are also of great interest to Blekinge companies, including technology in a broader sense, IT products other than mobile applications and environmental technology.
The market is enormous. It is also very different than the market in Sweden. There is a fantastic potential for anyone who is willing and dares to invest here.
Venture capital is also available for development in India.
The India Project is a forward-looking initiative that offers a great opportunity to you as a businessperson.

Just don't tell Magglio Ordonez that.
Ordonez, who has feasted on White Sox pitching since leaving that organization to sign with Detroit in 2005, is batting .609 (14-for-23) against the Chicago left-hander, the best mark of any hitter who has faced Danks at least 20 times.
But the next-best Detroit batter against Danks is Jhonny Peralta at .219. Aside from Ordonez, today's lineup is just 26-for-120 (.217) off the southpaw.
Even Brennan Boesch, who is a career .347 hitter against lefties, is just 1-for-8 lifetime against Danks.
Still, the Tigers are heating up right now. They have won four of their past five games, and eight in a row against the White Sox -- the first time they've done that since 1949-50.
"It's not about who you play in this game, it's about when you play them," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said before the game. "And we're not a team you want to play right now."
Also of note today is Ryan Raburn getting his fourth start of the season at second base. Leyland has said Raburn will often start at second against left-handed pitching to keep Raburn and Boesch in the lineup and to give a break to left-handed hitting Will Rhymes.
The rest of the Tigers' lineup:
Austin Jackson, cf
Ryan Raburn, 2b
Magglio Ordonez, DH
Miguel Cabrera, 1b
Jhonny Peralta, ss
Brennan Boesch, left field
Casper Wells, right field
Alex Avila, c
Brandon Inge, 3b

|Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute
Whether we like to admit it or not, as teachers, we must face the reality that most of our ninth-grade students find almost every other aspect of twenty-first-century living more interesting than reading. This makes our job, especially the job of teaching literature, difficult, to say the least. I've designed this unit, for the beginning of the school year, with this challenging reality in mind. However, in having students trace the journeys of their own lives, in teaching them to see themselves somewhere in other people's stories, I'm telling them they've got to find stories interesting; they are about them! This unit focuses on storytelling in literature, beginning with children's picture books. It contains a variety of ideas, strategies and lessons designed to help students see themselves as storytellers, readers, and an invaluable part of a larger learning community. The unit is recursive in nature, as students will continually go back to their past memories, as well as their past writing, in an attempt to grow as individuals, and as readers and writers of stories.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Former Chicago Bulls lead assistant coach Ron Adams, widely considered one of the top assistants in the NBA, will be joining the Celtics in a similar role, a league source confirmed to the Globe Monday.
Adams has more than two decades of NBA experience, making him a valuable addition for Celtics coach Brad Stevens, who has none.
"He's as good as there is in the business," an NBA head coach said of Adams. "He'll help Brad out a lot. It's a great hire."
Source: Ron Adams In Celtics' Fold As Assistant Coach–Boston Globe
Boston has added another staff member to Brad Stevens' coaching team. Ron Adams, who served as an assistant to Tom Thibodeau with Chicago, was being targeted by other NBA teams, including Doc Rivers' Clippers.
Adams was sought after by several other teams, including, a league source said, the Los Angeles Clippers, who are now coached by former Celtics coach Doc Rivers. Adams also had coaching stints with the 76ers, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Milwaukee Bucks.
It's expected that Stevens will add one or two more coaches to his staff this offeseason.
And if Thibodeau likes this guy that much, there is no doubt in my mind that he is the real deal. Adams is known as a "defensive guru" around the league. Chicago GM Gar Forman let go of Thib's lead assistant this offseason, something that reportedly did not sit well with Thibodeau.
In Chicago, Adams was the lead assistant to Tom Thibodeau, the former Celtics assistant coach and Adams's longtime friend.The Bulls did not renew Adams's contract this offseason, though it was unclear why.
In Boston, Adams joins a staff that includes assistants Jay Larranaga and Jamie Young, who were with the Celtics last season, as well as Micah Shrewsberry, who was Stevens's assistant at Butler University. Shrewsberry was most recently an assistant coach at Purdue.
However, the Celtics could lose Larranaga, as the Philadelphia 76ers are interviewing him for their vacant head coaching position, league sources said. Larranaga was also a candidate for the Celtics head-coaching job.

What is in this article?:
- High profit cattle breed looks promising to producers
- The Texas line
• By continuing the same careful selection process, the Akaushi brought to Texas remained true to the genetics of the breed.
• No single trait was sacrificed to develop the U.S. herd.
More About:
THE PURE BRED Akaushi breed (in Japanese means 'Red Cow') has documented genetic lineage that dates back at least 80 years for each animal. Pictured above is an Akaushi bull from the Texas herd. Akaushi are known for their high level of marbled meat and superior flavor and are heralded as a traditional health food by the Japanese.
The Texas line
After bringing the Akaushi to Texas, Dr. Calles conducted research that revealed some startling results. Because of a unique closed system and a careful genetic selection process down through the years, the Akaushi breed became and has remained an extremely uniform and consistent one throughout its genetic line for all maternal, structural, fertility, carcass and palatability traits.
By continuing the same careful selection process, the Akaushi brought to Texas remained true to the genetics of the breed. No single trait was sacrificed to develop the U.S. herd.
"It is this focused attention on Akaushi genetics that has resulted in an animal that will perform efficiently, improve consistency, maintain uniformity and maximize the gap between profit and loss," Bains said.
Bain says in terms of health, Akaushi cattle have a leg up on the industry. They produce an abundance of oleic acid in their tissue as a survival mechanism. The oleic acid in the fatty tissue surrounding vital organs helps to prevent cold stress among other benefits, and the breed is extremely capable of adapting to most environments, making them an ideal breed for the mountainous West to the coastal plains of South Texas.
In addition, this significant level of oleic acid, the "good fat" found in olive oil, and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which has been shown to fight certain types of cancer, make the beef a good choice for consumers. In addition, Akaushi beef is also higher in monounsaturated fat than in saturated fat. Higher levels of monounsaturated fat are linked to lowering cholesterol, which helps to prevent diabetes, coronary heart disease, and even contributes to weight loss.
In addition to its health benefits for the consumer, Bain says Akaushi bulls can improve any breed by doubling the quality grade of the beef, a great benefit to the producer.
"By using Akaushi bulls or semen into existing Texas breeds will result in at least a 20 percent prime rating, with most of the remaining beef rated choice, and that's just with first generation calves," Bain says. "In fact, Akaushi crossed with a low-end group of cattle that historically becomes 40 percent USDA Choice produces an F1 product at 85 percent or greater Choice or above."
Calles, through HeartBrand Beef, the company responsible for acquiring the cattle, began the task of increasing the herd to 4,000 fullbloods through embryo transfer since the early 90s. The Beeman family acquired ownership of HeartBrand Beef about five years ago and redirected the company in an effort to sell bulls as well as marketing Akaushi and F1 Akaushi-cross beef.
Bain says the company is so confident in the quality of the beef produced by the line, even in cross-breeding with domestic varieties, that HeartBrand Beef will buy the resulting calves back from producers at a rate "about $100 more than the normal price of a domestic calf."
"It's a win-win situation for the producer who breeds Akaushi because whether he raises cattle for beef or just to sell the calves back to the company, he's going to come out on top," Bains said.

By PAUL BUKER
Sebastien Bourdais wasn't worried when he fell 18 seconds behind polesitter Justin Wilson early in Sunday's Mazda Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland.
You see, Bourdais had ultimate confidence in his Newman/Haas/Lanigan team, which was seeking its 100th victory in open-wheel racing.
"We've got the best combination,'' said Bourdais.
"Not only the driver, but the team and the mechanics, the whole nine yards.''
So it was no shock to see Bourdais on the victory platform, listening to the French National Anthem, holding the huge winner's trophy and hugging longtime owners Carl Haas and Paul Newman.
Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing is sort of a Champ Car version of the old Chicago Bulls' teams that won six NBA titles. Chicago-area businessman Mike Lanigan joined the mix this season.
Bourdais - who may be in Formula One in 2008 - is dominating the series like no other driver, barreling towards an unprecedented fourth straight championship.
In all, Newman/Haas/Lanigan has won eight times in Portland .
"I don't think I made history, I think I just participated in the history of the team and I'm just very, very honored to be a part of it,'' said Bourdais after his 26th Champ Car win in 63 starts and his third straight win this season.
Newman, the Academy Award-winning actor, said simply, "that kid is quite a phenomenon.''
Wilson flirted with wins at Portland International Raceway in 2005 and 2006 and he led 51 laps on Sunday, but after the first round of pit stops his phenomenal lead melted away and Bourdais systematically ran him down.
"We put the reds (softer tires) on, and it started clicking,'' said Bourdais.
"We're were catching him 8-10ths of a second per lap. We got to the second pit stop and you could start to smell blood.''
Said Wilson, who clearly smelled trouble, "they kept telling me over the radio that Sebastien was catching me. But there was nothing left. I was flat-out.''
Bourdais, who survived a less than stellar standing start, finally took the lead on lap 54, out-braking Wilson going into turn 1. His final margin of victory was more than 13 seconds.
Ex-Formula One driver Robert Doornbos was third, Will Power fourth and Alex Tagliani fifth in a caution-free race run in better-than-expected weather conditions.
There was no rain during the main event but attendance couldn't have been more than 25,000 or 30,000 - a disappointment in the wake of last year's announced crowd of 44,065.
Champ Car would not release a Sunday crowd count, but announced the three-day attendance total as 70,211. Again, a disappointment to race organizers who hoped for at least 100,000 and must now try and negotiate a new contract that would bring the event back to Portland for its 25th anniversary.
Wilson said it would be a shame if Champ Car dropped Portland off the schedule.
Bourdais was even more vocal about the possibility of Champ Car losing another road course.
This was Round 4 in the series, following three straight street races in Las Vegas, Long Beach and Houston.
"Every year it's the same deal, right?'' said Bourdais. "Every year they say we're not coming back here and every year we do.
"The fan base is pretty strong here,'' continued Bourdais. "These are die-hard Champ Car fans and they came today. Maybe it wasn't the biggest crowd we've ever seen, but it was still decent.''
If he stays in U.S. open wheel racing, how upset would Bourdais be if Portland disappeared from the schedule?
After all, PIR has been like a home track for Newman/Haas/Lanigan.
"Oh, very,'' said Bourdais. "There's no doubt we need a good combination of street courses and road courses. We lost the only oval we had (Milwaukee) which was a really sad thing. But it would be even sadder if we did not come back here.
"If we keep losing our heritage and our history it is not going to serve us well,'' said Bourdais. "You have to be careful with what you do. It's good to be going where you're desired but it's also good to stay where people want you to stay.''
Notes: Bourdais is flying to hometown of Le Mans this morning and running the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans this week. Flush with Sunday's victory, he picked up the tab for a celebratory team dinner at nearby Salty's restaurant. Bourdais has been with the team since 2003. "At the beginning I didn't know what to expect,'' he said. "But I got much more than a team out of it, I got a second family. It's awesome to share so much on-track and off.'' ... last year's Portland race was also caution-free, so there have been 208 consecutive laps run here without a yellow flag. ... all told, Newman/Haas/Lanigan has five poles and 16 podium finishes in Portland. The team's race winners at PIR have included Bourdais (2004, 2007), Cristiano da Matta (2002), Michael Andretti (1990, 1991, 1992), and Mario Andretti (1985, 1986). ... Bourdais has a 105-94 lead over Power in the Champ Car points race going into Cleveland, with Doornbos third with 87 points. ... Kevin Lacroix won Sunday morning's Atlantic race, with James Hinchcliffe second and Franck Perera third.

Positive responses to spill frustration
As the oil spill wreaks its havoc and destruction along the Gulf Coast, many of us are struggling to find the appropriate response.
There is a great temptation to give in to feelings of fatalism and disempowerment. Here are some other responses to consider.
If you have time, talents and/or resources to be helpful in volunteer documentation and cleanup efforts, there are a host of volunteer opportunities.
Another response is to boycott BP stations. Keep in mind, however, that most of the petroleum BP sells isn't to its own gas stations, but to distributors who mix BP gas with that of other petroleum companies.
Avoiding BP stations may be a satisfying symbolic gesture, but it is not likely to be very punitive to BP.
Some will argue that we need a complete moratorium on drilling the Gulf. If, however, we continue to be profligate in our use of petroleum, we are simply asking other regions to bear the risks and consequences of our consumptive lifestyle.
Perhaps one of the most meaningful ways we can respond to this oil spill is to drastically reduce our reliance on petroleum-based products.
The exhortation to reduce, reuse and recycle may sound like a cliché, but it's as much of a moral imperative today. At some level, we must hold ourselves personally accountable for the petroleum-based economy we have come to rely on.
A 'thank you' to Nature Conservancy
As a community, we are very fortunate that the National Estuary Program has a goal of helping to protect/improve the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and coastal Alabama. These are resources in our back yard that most citizens truly do not appreciate.
While the oil may affect these wildlife areas in a negative manner, the impact by humans over time must also be remedied.
A special thanks to The Nature Conservancy, other environmental organizations and individuals for their efforts in promoting, protecting and preserving the various environmental assets in our community.

Watching the slow death of 'our sea'
The Romans called the Mediterranean Sea "mare nostrum," or "our sea." Likewise, we could refer to the Gulf of Mexico as "our sea."
The past two months' pain for our sea has been like seeing the last days of a loved one dying of cancer. We have watched the slow and steady decline to the inevitable end, and can do nothing to halt it or even comfort the pain.
We can drill a hole in the earth beneath a mile of Gulf water and suck out massive volumes of oil and gas; yet we have no way to stop this well.
Worse yet, when the oil genie has been released and threatens our sea and shores, our principal tool to fight it is a kitty litter pooper-scooper.
If it were not so sad, it would be comical to watch people dressed up in white anti-whatever coveralls, scooping the seashore or armed with paper towels to wipe the marsh grasses clean of the goo.
If we cannot grasp the absurdity of these pictures and take action to ensure more advanced technology is in place for another catastrophe, then we deserve the incompetent industry and government that allowed it to happen in the first place.
The list of offenders goes far beyond BP, Halliburton and Transocean and should include not only the petroleum industry, but also our federal and state governments.
But we are the ones who bought stock in these industries, used their products and voted for these governments.
Plenty of blame to go around
Since the beginning of time, man has depended on some type of oil in order to make light.
In biblical times, olive oil was used. Later, whales were killed, and the oil was extracted for use in lamps.
In 1859, Edwin Drake was the man responsible for the first oil well that was drilled in northwestern Pennsylvania. This launched an international search for petroleum. Our lives would be changed forever.
While BP is being blamed for the oil gushing out of a deep well in the Gulf of Mexico, our government officials are sitting in Washington pointing fingers and placing blame.
Yes, BP is at fault for not following through with the recommendation set forth concerning the type of casing being used, but is BP the only one to blame for this disaster? What about the U.S. Minerals Management Service in Washington that is supposed to monitor oil drilling?
Where has the MMS been and what kind of corners has it cut in overseeing the drilling taking place in the Gulf?
And please, let's not forget the environmentalists. Those who would not allow the oil companies to drill in shallow waters, on land or in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska must also carry the blame.
And what about the people in California who said they didn't want to see oil wells off their shores? Shouldn't they also carry the blame?

Installation began on Duckworth Street today
The City of St. JohnŌĆÖs is continuing its installation of new digital parking meters in the downtown area of the city.

A news release notes that installation of new meters has been completed in the Churchill Square area and on Water Street.
Today, staff began replacing the meters on Duckworth Street.
The city says it will keep residents updated through social media on what streets are
scheduled for installation.
ŌĆ£Although the issues that arose after the Canadian Mint changed the composition of their coins were unfortunate, we have used this situation as an opportunity to upgrade and modernize our parking meter systems,ŌĆØ say Coun. Bernard Davis, chairman of the Community Services and Housing Standing Committee.
ŌĆ£Last week we began installing new parking meters throughout the city replacing the current models which are unable to accept new loonies and toonies.ŌĆØ
The release says there are multiple payment options with the new meters including credit cards, coins and park cards. The new meters will work with current and future coins issued by the Canadian Mint.
ŌĆ£It is important to note for those residents who use our convenient ParkCards they will have to come in to the Access St. JohnŌĆÖs Citizen Service Centre to exchange their cards for a new one,ŌĆØ Davis said. ŌĆ£The new cards are now available for purchase and balances remaining on old ParkCards can be transferred to your new card at no additional charge.ŌĆØ
Once the new meters are installed the new parking rate will be 25 cents per 10 minutes, or $1.50 per hour.

Odd Mom Out Returns & Ginnifer Goodwin's Baby NewsBy Gerri Miller
Find out who's guest starring on Odd Mom Out this season and get the scoop on Goodwin's new babe!Go To Pop Culture
Tag Archives: Eve
Bereshit! Again!
No matter that we may have read these verses before — in fact, we may have read them many times. And no matter that echoes of these verses have entered our lexicon and the consciousness of Western Civilization. After all, here is the biblical creation story — the poetic rendering of the way our world began. This is where we here sonorous, lofty phrases such as "Let there be Light!" This is where we meet some of the best known Bible figures: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel and Noah. Lots of us have memories of these guys from our childhood, from the comic book version of the Bible, or a beautifully rendered children's book.
These first five chapters and the first 8 verses of chapter 6 are so chock full of interesting things — so many puzzles, so many questions, so much angst and drama and so many beautiful images — that it is really hard to focus on just one thing. In fact, the creators of the G-dcast produced TWO renditions of this Parasha; watch both — each has different big ideas!
Chapter 1 gives us the famous creation story. But right away, in chapter 2, we get another creation story! How does that happen? What are the differences between these two stories? Which do you like more? Why do you suppose that the editors of the Torah kept both stories? Chapter 3 gives us the story of the Garden of Eden, and how the two humans interacted with their new pristine environment, with each other, and with God. In Chapter 4 we read more about this first human family, the two sons born to the first couple, and the first murder! Chapter 5 provides the first biblical genealogy, which some folks think has lots of fascinating tidbits to chew on. And in the first verses of Chapter 6, we get the set-up to the flood saga…
Doesn't it seem like this should be divided into at least a month of Shabbat readings instead of all being packed into one week??
Lots of people have favorite parts in Parashat Bereshit. I happen to love verses 27 and 28 of Chapter 1:
Why? Well, it embodies a core Jewish belief—that each human is created in the image of God, and, at the very beginning, the first human was both male and female, some mystical androgynous being that later was separated.

I traced the originator of The true north query, back to Bruce, WA3AFS.... Found his Address via qrz.com, of 260 New Salem South Road, Voorheesville NY. 12186. Assuming that is his tower location, Alignment can be determined in about 20 seconds, by bringing up the address on Google Maps. I captured the Google map code for the map and pasted here. Click on: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=260+New+Salem+South+Road+Voorheesville+NY&ie=UTF8&z=14&ll=42.62316,-73.966227&spn=0.026399,0.047464&om=0 If his QTH was in sectionalized land, (Townships, Sections, Quarter Sections, Baseline Road, etc) N/S would be obvious and easy, as major streets often run True North and South and East - West. But no........ it will take an additonal 20 seconds or so..... I tried using the photo in Bruce's QRZ listing, to pinpoint the tower on Google photo, but for his location, the Google photo is not high resolution. So, simply locate the tower with the Google Map function and drag the tower location on the map to the edge of the google map frame which runs true north and south, and walk your eye up (or down) the map until it intersects with an identifiable ground feature that you can see from the tower. Eyeball align the boom to that feature and you will probably be within a degree of true north. 73, DX, de Pat AA6EG email@example.com; Skype: Sparky599 _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

Undefeated through eight games for the first time in more than five decades, Easton football has a simple yet definitive plan in place for how best to celebrate All Hallows Eve on Thursday when the Eagles play host to Landry-Walker at Tad Gormley Stadium.
"Trick or treating in the end zone,'' junior wide receiver Tyron Johnson said. "That's how.''
Easton carries an 8-0 record and 3-0 mark in District 9-4A along with a No. 6 state ranking in Class 4A into the Halloween evening meeting scheduled for 7 p.m., in City Park.
Landry-Walker is a formidable 7-1 overall, 2-1 in 9-4A and ranked No. 5 in Class 4A. The Charging Buccaneers' lone defeat was a 26-22 decision three weeks ago to No. 2 ranked Karr's reigning state champions, against whom Easton closes the regular season next week.
The Eagles are pursuing the Mid-City school's first undefeated season since the 1957 team went 10-0 prior to playing Istrouma to a scoreless tie in the first round of the state playoffs. The Eagles were eliminated in the game based on penetrations into the opponent's territory, the tiebreaking methodology used at the time by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association.
Easton's last district title was in 2001 when current Athletic Director Steve Costa ended an 11-year run as football coach by directing the Eagles to their third league championship.
The current 8-0 mark represents three more victories than that of last year's 5-5 squad, which had served as the most successful of Coach Tony Hull's first six teams.
"I love these boys with every fiber in my body,'' Hull said fighting back emotion. "To see these kids do everything you ask them to do and not be successful and then to see them become successful is a great thing.
"I love them. They make working the long hours and sleeping at the school all worthwhile.''
Hull is quick to interject his belief that the best is yet to come.
"People talk about us being undefeated and being 8-0,'' Hull said. "But this thing is not a finished product. We're far from being where we're capable of being.''
Indeed, only six seniors dot the Eagles' 55-man roster. Three start on defense and two on offense while the bulk of the difference-makers are juniors and sophomores, such as Johnson and Deshawn Capers-Smith, a junior athlete who has been converted to playing cornerback and wide receiver to make room for senior Josh Johnson at quarterback.
Johnson is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound junior who is rated among the nation's top receiver prospects for 2015 while the 6-foot-1, 175-pound Capers-Smith is another nationally-recognized prospect for 2015 as a cornerback/athlete.
A dynamic playmaker similar in impact to that of Johnson, Capers-Smith entered the season as a returning All-District quarterback who broke a bone in his foot during an August practice while making an interception.
The injury freed Josh Johnson to make his presence felt by passing for 1,902 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has completed 120 of 329 passes thrown just seven interceptions.
Tyron Johnson leads a talented trio of receivers with 44 receptions good for 650 yards and seven touchdowns. Sophomore Kelejawan "Clyde'' Leflore ranks second in catches with 31, but leads with 729 receiving yards and is tied with Tyron Johnson with seven scoring catches.
Capers-Smith is next with 23 receptions good for 313 yards and two touchdowns, but his true value as a "hidden hero,'' according to Hull, lies in his ability as a cover corner to lock down on the opposition's top receiver.
"If there is a hidden hero for this season, it would have to be Deshawn,'' Hull said. "He has the ability to take on a receiver and you can forget about him. Plus, he humbled himself and let Josh play quarterback.
"Then you look at how he blocks, he's been a major part in our ability to run the ball. He literally takes cornerbacks and puts them on their backs.''
Sometimes overshadowed, but least not forgotten is the Eagles' ability to run the football, as evidenced by the numbers of junior backs Bracy Gardner and Devin "Jet'' Glenn.
Gardner has rushed for 750 yards and scored a team-leading 13 touchdowns on 120 carries, and Glenn has contributed 475 yards and 11 touchdowns on 76 attempts. Each averages more than 6.3 yards per carry.
Although the Eagles are averaging 44 points an outing out of their fast-paced spread offense, it is the defensive revolution taking place under the direction of Coordinator Jerry Phillips and Assistant Head Coach Corry Spann that excites Hull.
"What Jerry Phillips and Corry Spann have done on that side of the ball is nothing short of a miracle,'' Hull said. "They have our defense creating turnovers and making negative plays at a volume I have not seen here.''
With opponents averaging 25 points, Hull acknowledges that the defense is "not the biggest or the strongest, but they have the ability to create turnovers. With the type of offense we run, that's what you ask for.''
Phillips and Spann also have inspired a bit of a cult mentality by creating a rewards system featuring black jerseys awarded to defenders for creating turnovers and negative plays. Seven of 11 starters have earned "Black Shirts.''
In addition to Capers-Smith and Tyron Johnson, who are two-way starters as receivers and defensive backs, the other defenders who have earned "Black Shirts'' are senior inside linebacker Ricardo Francis, senior outside linebacker/safety Tre Porter, junior ends Arthur McGinnis and Kendal Franklin and sophomore cornerback/safety Charven Morris.
Phillips and Spann's defenders have played key roles in each of the past two district victories against McDonogh 35 and Belle Chasse.
Against McDonogh 35, the Eagles stopped two-point conversion attempts following McDonogh 35's final two touchdowns, with the first preserving a 28-28 tie and forcing overtime while the second secured the 36-34 margin of victory.
Against Belle Chasse, the Eagles forced six turnovers that led to 39 points and McGinnis recorded five
sacks in a 52-24 decision.
"It's an honor to wear a Black Shirt because you know you've done something to help win a game,'' Francis, one of three senior starters on defense along with outside linebacker/safety Tre Porter and tackle Kevin Alexis, said.
"It motivates everyone to want to do even more to earn a Black Shirt. It's even moving on to the offense where everyone wants to earn a Black Shirt. Everybody is hungry now.''
Just how hungry the Eagles are likely is to be determined during the final two games starting with Thursday's Halloween meeting against Landry-Walker and followed by next Friday's regular-season finale against Karr at Behrman Stadium.
In Karr, Landry-Walker and Easton, three of the state's top six teams hail from District 9-4A, with the Eagles representing the new kids on the block.
The Eagles are flying through some rarified air given that the school's second and last state football championship came 71 years ago, when the 1942 team coached by Johnny Brechtel delivered an 11-0 season that still stands as Easton's lone undefeated finish.
"When we first started off we had a young team,'' Tyron Johnson said. "We were a lot of freshmen and sophomores. But we're older now. We understand the game. We've put in the hard work. Everybody understands the game better. That's how we're 8-0.''
"You've got to go through the worst to get to the good stuff,'' Francis said. "We've put in a lot of hard work and sweat to get to where we are now. It's our time.''
"I think people know us now,'' Tyron Johnson added. "We're 8-0. People understand. They know we're not playing around.''
"I think people know that there is no more regular-old Easton,'' Francis said. "If they don't know, they'll find out.''

GAINES TWP, MI – After 818 signatures for the recall of Gaines Township Supervisor Chuck Melki were returned to County Clerk-Register John Gleason's office from the township, four signatures caught his eye.
The signatures were from four different people, but the printed name, address and other information was all filled out by one person.
According to Michigan recall law, "A signer is not permitted to sign, date or enter the address for anyone else."
"This was so blatant," Gleason said. "It puts into question (the Gaines Township clerk's) credibility."
After recall signatures are collected, the county does a brief review before sending the signatures to the township's office. From there, they are sent to the county clerk's office and the person facing recall has a chance to challenge the signatures.
The township removed 47 signatures and Township Clerk Mike Dowler said he didn't remember seeing the four signatures that Gleason noticed. A total of 652 signatures were needed to place the recall question on the ballot in Gaines Township.
"I can't remember each individual signature," Dowler said. "Obviously, I didn't see any blatant errors there at the time or I would've taken them off."
Dowler said his deputy clerk, Karen Hawkins, looked over the petitions first, and then he did a final review. Hawkins was one of the circulators of petitions against Melki.
"I reviewed them all, she reviewed them also, but I did the final review on them," Dowler said. "I was trying to be extra cautious and that's why I had a set of extra eyes."
Melki's challenged 306 signatures, which would remove his recall from the November ballot, but Gleason ultimately removed 111 signatures, which means the recall will remain on the ballot unless Melki files a lawsuit in circuit court.
Melki asked for several petitions to be thrown out after changes were made in dates, saying that different handwriting was used for dates by some circulators.
"If the circulator's permits were not thrown out on the ones I protested, which were painfully obvious, ... I'm going to challenge it," Melki said.
Donna Archambault, a former president of the Village of Gaines who filed the recall petition language against Melki, said no circulators had someone else put dates on the documents.
"Nobody put (the dates) in for them," she said.

Area man accused of assaulting 10-year-old
MIFFLINTOWN – Multiple charges have been filed against a Perry County man accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with a 10-year-old girl in February 2012, according to court documents obtained Tuesday from the office of Magisterial District Judge Barbara Lyter.
Dennis James Walton, 51, of Millerstown, faces a dozen felony counts for involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and aggravated indecent assault, as well as six misdemeanor counts for indecent assault of a juvenile, according to documents.
The charges stem from an investigation initiated by a report of suspected child abuse made to authorities by Juniata County Children and Youth Services. Documents indicate the 10-year-old girl was interviewed by a specialist at the Children's Resource Center on Feb. 21, 2012.
During the interview, the girl said that on one occasion Walton had her remove her clothing inside a residence, after which he allegedly touched her genital area, according to documents. He then allegedly directed the girl to perform a sex act on him, which she described as "unappropriate," documents state.
Documents indicate that during a follow-up interview, the girl said Walton had further inappropriate sexual contact with her three times over the course of several days. She was able to identify details of the alleged incidents using anatomical drawings provided during the interviews, according to documents.
Walton was arraigned in Lyter's office and placed in the Mifflin County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on April 10.

Later in the meeting, Superintendent Dan Keenan stunned the audience by announcing that he was resigning at the end of July to become the executive director of the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation.
Also in Westlake, neighbors were shocked on Saturday after shots were fired shortly after noon at a building at 30700 Center Ridge Road. Police believe that the shots came from the nearby Bradley Woods Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. Officers from Westlake, the Metroparks and other departments searched the area until giving residents who had left the area the OK to return home about 6 p.m.
Westlake High School opened its new music wing on Wednesday, featuring expanded rehearsal and storage space for the band, orchestra and choral groups.
A Westlake City Council committee on Tuesday signed off on nearly $5.9 million in street improvements and related projects this year.
A town hall meeting in Bay Village last Monday gave city officials the chance to explain the reason for an expected boost in sewer rates and to update residents about upcoming projects.
The Rocky River school board on Wednesday approved a three-year contract with members of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees.
The Rocky River mayor told the city's Charter Review Commission on Wednesday that she thinks two-year terms for the mayor and other elected city officials should not be changed.

Wildcat girls lose big lead, then game
The Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team jumped ahead 19-2 to start Wednesday's game -- and lost.
The Eatonville Cruisers, a 2A power, was slow out of the gate, but once they got rolling the Wildcats couldn't hold on in a 58-47 loss in the opening game of Oak Harbor's annual Santa Slam holiday tournament.
In the other varsity game in the tournament, Anacortes dropped Kentridge 51-29.
Anacortes and Eatonville squared off in the championship game Thursday while Oak Harbor met Kentridge in the consolation bracket. Because of an early holiday deadline, results of those games were not available at press time.
Against Eatonville, Oak Harbor raced to a 15-2 first quarter lead, then upped the margin to 19-2 before the Cruisers shifted into gear. By the half, Oak Harbor's lead was trimmed to 10, 24-14.
Two free throws by Nicole Mowbray and two buckets by Shantae Young pushed the Wildcats on top 30-16 and it appeared they were in control once again.
Eatonville, showing the poise of a team that has qualified for 12 straight state tournaments, didn't fold; they simply took off on a 24-5 run. Eleven of the last 13 points were scored by point guard Kristin Schaub, nine off three 3's.
Eatonville ended the third quarter up 40-35.
The Wildcats hung around in the fourth quarter and trailed by just five, 50-45, with 3:11 left when high scoring Jessica Denmon fouled out.
Oak Harbor's offense went stagnant early in the first half once Denmon got into foul trouble. She picked up her fourth foul just after Oak Harbor finished off its game-starting 19-2 run with 5:51 left in the second quarter. She rotated in and out the rest of the half, and the Wildcats lost all offensive flow.
Denmon began the second half on the bench, entered at the 4:52 mark of the third quarter with Oak Harbor up 33-27, and fouled out with three minutes left in the game.
Coach Brett McLeod said, "When Jessica or Nikki (Mowbray) aren't in, we struggle." The Wildcats also played without injured guards Molly DeLeon and Janelle Yoshimoto.
Denmon finished with 16 points, Mowbray had 13, Young seven, Emilie Renninger five, Naomi Walker four and Clarissa Abedesco two.
Eatonville, which is picked to win the Nisqually 2A League this year, raised its record to 4-1. The Cruisers are currently ranked ninth in the state in the Tacoma News-Tribune 2A girls poll.
Oak Harbor fell to 4-3. The Wildcats are at Arlington Tuesday, Jan. 5, and home Thursday, Jan. 7, with Stanwood at 7:30 p.m.

The David's valve-sparing aortic root replacement method is a surgical treatment for aortic root aneurysms. With this method, the aneurysm is repaired while the patient's own aortic valve is preserved. This method helps to avoid the use of long-term anticoagulant (blood-thinner) medication and may reduce the risk of stroke or endocarditis.
If the patient's own aortic valve is diseased or cannot be used during the aorta surgery, a bioprosthetic valve can be used to avoid the use of long-term anticoagulation.
While the David's valve-sparing aortic root replacement method has many benefits, it is also a technically difficult aorta surgery procedure. Dr. Lars G. Svensson, Director of the Center for Aortic Surgery, Marfan Syndrome and Connective Tissue Disorders Clinic at Cleveland Clinic, has developed a modified version of the David's procedure. The Modified David's Reimplantation Procedure helps to determine the appropriately sized aorta graft, maintain the left ventricular outflow tract (the passageway out of the left ventricle), and improve outcomes when using the valve-sparing method.
Two options for incisions for this method of surgery to treat Marfan syndrome
The goal is to limit incision size.
Figure 2.1
The aorta is cut, just above the aortic valve annulus and the coronary ostia (openings where the coronary arteries are attached to the aortic root). The diseased portion of aorta is removed.
Sutures are placed just below the aortic valve, around the left ventricular outflow tract.
A collagen-coated, polyester graft is used for the portion of the aorta being replaced.
Sutures are placed through the graft.
Figure 2.2
A special piece of equipment, called a Hegar's dilator, is placed in the left ventricular outflow tract, through the aortic valve. The size of the dilator is based on the patient's body size and the expected size of a normal left ventricle outflow tract.
The sutures are then tied around the dilator, to shape the bottom portion of the aorta graft, similar to a natural aortic root.
Next, the aortic valve is re-implanted into position within the aorta graft. The valve is tested to make sure it opens and closes properly.
Figure 2.3
Then, small holes are produced in the aorta graft for the coronary ostia (openings). The coronary arteries are re-attached through the small holes.
The graft is then sewn to the aorta. If the aortic arch needs to be replaced, a separate graft is sewn from the aortic arch to the aortic root graft (as illustrated).
The Modified David approach is a successful approach to aortic valve sparing surgery. With this procedure, the outflow tract size is maintained, a more normal aortic root is established, and valve function is improved.
Before Marfan syndrome surgery - notice the arrow - the enlarged dissected aorta in a patient with acute aortic dissection, a life threatening complication of Marfan Syndrome.
Photographs from an operation where the aortic valve and coronary arteries are to be re-implanted into a new tube replacement of the aortic root.
Photograph of dacron aortic graft.
Sutures are sewn through the annulus of the aortic valve and the bottom portion of the dacron graft.
The graft is being lowered into place, around the outside of the aortic valve.
If you peer inside the graft (top view), you can see the aortic valve. The aortic valve is secured within the new tube and the coronary arteries are reattached. The end of the graft is then sewn to the aorta.
The final result. With this operation, patients do not need to be on blood thinners for the rest of their lives. This operation has good long-term results in patients with Marfan Syndrome if done early in the disease process.
The patient's view - after healing.
The aortic root is the section of the aorta (the large artery leaving the heart) that is attached to the heart. The aortic root includes the annulus (tough, fibrous ring) and leaflets of the aortic valve; and the openings where the coronary arteries attach (coronary ostia).
Illustration of aortic root aneurysm before aorta surgery
An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of a blood vessel. In some patients, an aneurysm can occur at the aortic root, causing the aorta to dilate or widen and the aortic valve to leak.
Without treatment, a life-threatening condition called aneurysm dissection can occur. In this condition, blood flows through a tear in the inner layer of the aorta, causing the layers to separate. Blood flow becomes interrupted and causes the arterial wall to burst.

The Muhlenberg football team won 7 games last season, more than the last 2 years combined. The Muhls are once again competitive within Berks County, erasing a few very tough years.
Muhlenberg missed the District 3 playoffs, but still made a postseason appearance. The Muhls won a game in the Eastern Conference tournament.
This year's seniors plan on completing the turnaround began by last year's team. They want to elevate the Muhls back to where they used to be, atop Berks County.

Privatise all hospitals and make primary care free
We need a manager with fresh thinking who will step up and take charge, writes Maurice Gueret
Published 27/10/2013 | 01:55
MY WIFE, the Nurse with a capital N, tells me I know more about health services than anybody else in the country. She's probably right about that. She's right about everything, is my wife.
I've worked in most of the hospital specialities, the psychiatric sector and general practice. I've served on health boards and a so-called health authority. For the past 20 years, I have painstakingly detailed all that has gone on in our health services in a door-slab of a book called the Irish Medical Directory. I know the health commentator and journalism fields pretty well, too.
There are plenty of folks who make a tidy living pointing fingers at all that is wrong. That's the easy part. Putting things right is hard.
So where do we start? Not from here is the sane person's answer. The Irish health service is a disaster in the making and the making has taken 80 years of dire planning and woeful political oversight. Its relics, the Sweepstakes-funded rundown hospital at every crossroads and the barely funded GP private contractor service, hangover of the dispensary system, are not worth venerating.
Then there is this parallel universe of the Department of Health and its myriad boards and executives. There are tens of thousands of non-clinical employees, many of whom wouldn't know an orthopaedic patient from an Egyptian mummy. There are a thousand health centres with no family doctors in them. And hundreds of phantom health board doctors who are salaried to replicate the jobs of general practice.
GPs are the great untouchables of the Irish health service. Since the foundation of the State, the Department of Health and its boards have refused to salary, house or resource them to do their jobs properly. They are paid like gardeners. So much for the grass. Extra for the hedges. And do you want the stuff taken away, too? It won't surprise you to hear that some have better tools than others.
There is one fundamental problem underlying the many in our health service. Nobody has ever taken charge. Everybody wants to shuffle the deck. But nobody wants to play cards or take a gamble. The ministers hide behind HSE chiefs. The HSE chiefs hide behind hospital trolleys. The medics, the nurses, the pharmacists and all the others hide behind unions whose interests, are member- and not patient-driven.
You want fresh thinking? Blue Sky stuff, I think the buzz word is. Well, here's my deal. You leave these shores and recruit a Trapattoni for our health services, but one that will live here and watch a few players in action. We don't need a dozen HSE chiefs or four waffling ministers in a discredited department. We need a manager. One who doesn't need a translator and has a track record in delivering health systems that work. The manager needs a 10-year contract, and only has to visit Leinster House at the beginning and end of the term.
We give our new manager two jobs. Job One is privatising the entire hospital sector, setting limits to profitability. You make hospital insurance, subsidised as necessary, mandatory for everyone and their employers.
Job Two is making primary care, the GP services and essential medicines, public and free for all. Don't worry about hospitals, they will be well able to fend for themselves in an insurance world that is designed to penalise cherry-picking. With the massive capital savings, and income to be gained by selling public hospitals, we invest well in primary care. We salary everyone in this sector and get rid of these perpetuating contracts that have to be renegotiated every time a new vaccine or fad comes along.
We recruit more GPs and provide an adequately resourced out-of-hours service. You get 24-hour care when you need it, at home or in a properly resourced medical centre. When you do need a hospital, you get the cleanliness and service that private hospitals build their reputations on.
It won't happen. The lefties won't do private hospitals (unless they are sick themselves) and the righties won't do free community care for all. They'll rearrange the deckchairs and swap the oars around. On the leaky dinghy that never quite sinks.
'What the Doctor Saw' by Dr Maurice Gueret will be published in November.

Allison Lane is averaging 10 points per game this season to lead North Hunterdon (14-4). Lane raised her scoring average to 12 ppg. last week while leading North Hunterdon to two victories over Warren Hills and Newton. North Hunterdon has now won three straight games and will be looking to keep that momentum going.
Mary Trossi has been averaging 10 points, four rebounds and three assists per game this season for Franklin (10-4), No. 7 in The Star-Ledger Top 20. Trossi helped Franklin win both its games last week with back-to-back balanced performances. She had 11 points and six rebounds versus Bridgewater-Raritan and 13 points, five rebounds and four assists versus Immaculata. Trossi is part of a balanced attack for Franklin and has shown that she can step up and be a leading scorer.
Gill St. Bernard's (18-3), No. 2 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, is coming off of a strong performance versus Montgomery after losing a close game to Blair and has three games on the schedule this week -- Tuesday at home vs. Lodi Immaculate (16-4), Thursday at Watchung Hills (5-13), and Saturday at home versus Rutgers Prep (8-7).
Rutgers Prep vs. Gill St. Bernard's, Saturday at 2 p.m.
Taylor Rooks is leading Gill St. Bernard's, No. 2 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, in scoring with 24 points, 11 rebounds and three assists per game. Rutgers Prep is a talented young team that will be looking to pull off an upset. Olivia Dabney, Gabbi Redden, Nikki Metzel and Kendra Barat will be looking to put up points to keep pace with a Gill St. Bernard's team that has a few scoring options to accompany Rooks. Trevena Bennett, Jasmine Sina, Morgan Rooks and Samantha Kramer will be ready for Gill St. Bernard's as well. It will take a complete team effort from Rutgers Prep to pull off an upset in a game where points can come from players at every position all over the court.

BigBipper, I respect you for your honesty, and there are a lot of people behind you here and want you to succeed. There are however some people in the world who aren't. Here is a rant about them.
You mentioned that you are 'painfully addicted' to certain foods. That's exactly what the shareholders of many food manufacturers want you to be. Food companies employ TOP SCIENTISTS in order to make their products as addictive as possible. And it is a handful of manufacturers that are locked in a battle for one thing only - profit. Think of the average wealthy shareholder of a major food company, who is hugely wealthy, has a personal trainer, and doesn't feed him or herself one mouthful of the crap that they are selling to the average citizen for HUGE dollars. If this very real relationship doesn't become apparent to that average citizen, then they will go on to blame themselves, and only themselves, for their predicament, and probably keep abusing their bodies and binge eating as a result, because the more you resist something, the more it happens.
In the western world we see ourselves as free and empowered, and in many ways we are, but it is quite amazing that our bodies can be hijacked in this way purely on account of profit. And the individual concerned can only look to themselves for the solution - for the cure. Although the foods manufactured are made to elicit a strong instinctual feeding response leading to addiction, the whole thing occurs in a legal grey area in which if you attempt to control what ingredients and techniques go into processed food, you end up potentially impinging on other civil liberties. In other words, the overweight-processed-food-eater is on their own. This is a free country. If you want to try to make the most addictive chocolate product you can conjure and sell it to people, good luck to you.
You have to look at this clearly because the only answer is taking the power back for yourself. When that shareholder climbs into their Porsche, on the way to their next business lunch (at a high end restaurant that will serve mainly paleo/primal food, because thats what ALL of those restaurants serve), do you think that he/she gives one solitary damn about the consumer crying into a bag of chocolates that they can't stop eating? Well, only to the extent that it will affect their profits and reputation. If movements such as paleo/ancestral health begin to gain momentum and generate a larger voice, then yes they will start to care, because thats politics - thats how society works. But for the moment, generally they don't care because they don't need to.
So we're in a shareholder's meeting that same afternoon after a tour of the factory floor of Super-chocoballs-r-us. Our shareholder is digesting the lunch of halibut and salad entree, followed by a medium rare steak (grass fed of course) served with wild mushrooms, a poached free range egg and some quite delicious sauerkraut, finished off with an espresso. No dessert of course - are you kidding? On a workday? Sugar? In the meeting the shareholder makes a few very salient points about maximising efficiency and also talks about the new advertising campaign, mentioning that they need to increase appeal to children. Its a great performance and everyone is in agreement. Just goes to show what a power lunch can do for you! Excellent! Another day another dollar.
The end.
Healthy is the new wealthy.
I do pretty much all of the cooking, so I have a lot of control over that what goes on the table and how.
But yes, I know what you mean about how a little tremor turns into an Earthquake. There have been times where I had a bad Friday evening and decided to take it right up to Monday morning, as if Saturday and Sunday did not count.
Get busy Groking or get busy dying. That's damn right!
Accountability is the greatest tool against slipping off the diet. That's why celebrities are skinny... Yes they have trainers and etc but what really helps is the magazines announcing every celeb that gains 5 lbs.
HCLF: lean red meat, eggs, low-fat dairy, bone broth/gelatin, fruits, seafood, liver, small amount of starch (oatmeal, white rice, potatoes, carrots), small amount of saturated fat (butter/ghee/coconut/dark chocolate/cheese).

wife an ice cream junkie, huh? Me too.
Suggestion: I bought an ice cream maker online and make my own, without sugar. A can of coconut milk, add egg yolks (i also whip the whites and add them), add a tbs of honey if she needs it, add some fruit if you want, vanilla, and you're good to go. TONS of paleo ice cream recipes on the internet.
Totally curbed my ice cream fetish. And way more delicious than store bought (even organic)... except Talenti's salted caramel which is kryptonite for me.
I also bought an ice cream maker for my son (who introduced me to MDA) so he could make ice cream for my grandkids and start to wean them off sugar as a primary food source...
Get busy Groking or get busy dying. That's damn right!
Otherwise I don't want to focus too much on this because ultimately we need to shift focus from the negatives of pizza, chips and chocoballs towards the positives of vegetables meat and fruit. Mother nature is the true artist at work in our lives. We put this bad stuff down once we realise it doesn't work for us, and we move away, put it behind us, so to speak.
I'm at the risk of getting preachy here, so I'll stop and say that we are all different with different approaches to this, but in dietary terms I have been where you are, and for me it wasn't really that difficult to forge the new path. You know what that path is, otherwise you wouldn't be posting on this website.
Healthy is the new wealthy.
As a struggling depressive, one thing I am learning is not to punish myself for perceived 'failure'. That way truly does lead to feelings of poor self-worth, misery and depression which can spiral and bleed into other aspects of life.
You seem to be punishing lapses with binges when maybe you should be asking yourself why you 'lapse' in the first place. Is it stress or is it a feeling that you somehow 'deserve' to be unhealthy?
Maybe you would benefit from some sort of counselling with regard to your relationship with food in conjunction with trying to eat better. And maybe, just maybe, try to stop punishing your 'lapses' with food?
Yes you have addictions - we all I am sure have those to some extent. It doesn't mean you have to succumb. Just do your best and take it one day at a time maybe?
Hugs to you - I hope you get through this xx
I don't ask that you like me - all I ask is that you respect my life experiences and i will do the same.

Beginning in the fall of 2013, the Big East will have Boise State and San Diego State for football and Houston, SMU and Central Florida in all sports, marking a drastic geographical change for the conference.
The Star-Ledger's Tom Luicci analyzes the expansion and what it means for the Big East's future, including the impact of a new TV deal, holding onto an automatic BCS bid and having coast-to-coast schools.
NJ.com users seem pretty pleased to have Boise State and believe the conference got stronger in football, but not basketball.
From rixplace:
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Boise & Houston, if their programs remain strong, more than make up for WVU, Pitt, & Syracuse in football. In basketball, there's no replacements for those three schools.
From ausipt:
Boise State has been highly rated for MANY years. The TV market just, what, quadrupled in size? That brings in cash, more national recognition. The B12 is squealing like a pig cause it lost teams to the SEC and is still not sure it is keeping anything. This was a good strategic move in all phases. BYU is still thinking about joining, seeing how it plays out. Rumor is ND football may jump in in 2014 when their contract ends with NBC. That is why NBC may land this conference and why ESPN caused all the trouble they did to start it all. Let's let it play out. Its a TV chess game right now. Time will tell.
From damone:
The reality is that this was a desperation move by the Big East and the conference might look very different in another 3 years. Saying Houston is better than Pitt is ridiculous. They had one good year in the last 20 playing awful teams. The records are meaningless. The only team that has any track record and credibility is Boise State. All the others are sub standard football programs. Rutgers would bolt to ACC or Big 10 in a second if they got the chance.
What do you think of the Big East expansion? Post your thoughts in the comments section of the Star-Ledger story.

Gov. Tom Corbett's signature on a new state law requiring NCAA fines to be used exclusively in Pennsylvania was hardly dry when the NCAA this afternoon filed a federal lawsuit seeking to void the legislation.
The NCAA claims in its U.S. Middle District Court complaint that the Higher Education Consent Decree Endowment Act violates the federal constitution, amounts to an illegal taking of private property and interferes with interstate commerce.
The short-term aim of the act, the brainchild of state Sen. Jake Corman, is to ensure that all proceeds from a $60 million fine Penn State University agreed to pay on NCAA sanctions imposed in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal are used within Pennsylvania.
The challenged law would also affect any similar penalties imposed on state colleges and universities in the future.
The endowment act requires that such penalties of at least $10 million that are to be paid over a period of more than a year must be deposited in an account controlled by the state. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency is to control the spending of the money.
Penn State is to pay its fine over five years.
The NCAA contends the Endowment Act improperly "provides that monies that a governing body (the NCAA) intended for use nationwide may only be spent within the Commonwealth to benefit the residents thereof."
The NCAA expected to create its own endowment to finance projects from the Penn State fine, the suit states. In any case, the agency claims "funds paid to the NCAA's endowment are not owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
"By directing Pennsylvania officials to collect and take payments to which it is not entitled, the act amounts to a taking of private property without just compensation," the NCAA contends.
The NCAA is asking Chief Judge Yvette Kane to rule that the new state law is unconstitutional and to bar its enforcement.
Besides Corbett, defendants in the case are state Treasurer Rob McCord, PCCD Chairman Mark R. Zimmer and state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.

The NYPD is asking for help in identifying a group of motorcyclists and ATV riders who blocked off a busy Washington Heights thoroughfare Sunday afternoon.
The Police Department released a still shot from a YouTube video of the scene filmed by a nearby neighbor, according to a report from the NY Daily News.
About a dozen motorcycle and ATV riders blocked a busy stretch of Broadway in Washington Heights in front of the R.G. Ortiz Funeral Home near West 190th Street — just 12 blocks from where Alexian Lien was pulled out of his Range Rover by a gang of bikers and beaten last September.
On Sunday, traffic was shut down in both directions as the bikers popped wheelies and burned rubber.
An official at the funeral home told the Daily News the bikers and ATV riders were friends of a man who had died and whose service was underway.
Police ask anyone with information on Sunday's incident to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).

Authorities found no criminal wrongdoing in the Nov. 4 stillbirth by a member an Oregon City faith-healing church.
Oregon law does not require prenatal care or professional medical assistance at birth.
"There is absolutely no basis for criminal charges," said Sgt. Adam Phillips, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
Phillips said the baby's grandfather called 9-1-1 at 4:20 a.m. to report that his daughter's labor was going badly. When a deputy arrived at a home in the 18000 block of South Rose Road, just outside the Oregon City limits, the 29-year-old mother and her 32-year-old husband assured the deputy that they didn't need any help.
Later, however, the couple went to the hospital on their own, Phillips said.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office was called but did not perform an autopsy.
