Photo Gallery: James Ramos
James Ramos rose from an impoverished youth on the San Manuel Indian reservation to one of the most prominent movers and shakers in San Bernardino County.
Ramos' tribe, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, has donated millions of dollars to local schools, hospitals, law-enforcement agencies, fire departments and various nonprofits. The largesse has been provided courtesy of profits generated by San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino.
For four years, Ramos served as chairman of his tribe, leading one of the wealthiest and most powerful gaming tribes in the nation.
And now, Ramos, 45, will be sworn in today as the first San Manuel tribal member elected to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.
He credits education as the single most important factor in his success and the success of his tribe.
"Education paved the way not only for the tribal government, but for the community as a whole," said Ramos, who holds an MBA from the University of Redlands, a bachelor's of science degree in business administration from Cal State San Bernardino and an associate degree in business management from Victor Valley College in Victorville.
Before the San Manuel tribe opened its bingo hall in 1985 and grew it to one of the most profitable tribal casinos in the nation, members of the tribe, including Ramos, eked out a living any way they could.
For a few years, the tribe sold tax-free cigarettes before the courts ruled the tribe must pay tax on them because the merchandise crossed state lines during transport.
Ramos said he helped unload the trucks that trundled onto the reservation - then dotted with mobile homes and just a few small homes - for $20 a truckload.
When gaming entered the picture and the tribe's profits began to soar, Ramos decided it was time to get a better understanding of business and Indian gaming. So he went back to school, earning his associate degree in 1994, his bachelor's degree in 2002 and his MBA in 2009.
Also in 2009, Ramos received an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Northern Arizona University.
Ramos began building his political house in 2003, when he ran for a seat on the San Bernardino City Unified School District board. He lost to Judi Penman, the president and CEO of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce.
That didn't deter the aspiring politician. Two years later, in 2005, Ramos was elected to San Bernardino Community College District board of trustees. He has held that seat ever since but now must resign due to his election to the Board of Supervisors, said district Chancellor Bruce Baron.
"Mr. Ramos has been a fantastic board member," Baron said. "The district has made a great deal of progress during his tenure."
Baron said the district is operating with a balanced budget and secured a half-billion dollars worth of bond-funded instructional buildings at Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa and San Bernardino Valley College during Ramos' time on the board.
Ramos was also instrumental in helping get Crafton Hills College fully accredited and supported increasing online courses for students living in remote mountain and desert areas.
In addition, Ramos was a proponent of free bus passes for students, Baron said.
"James has really been a true asset to the Community College District ... and the students received the benefit of his dedication and hard work," Baron said.
As a supervisor, Ramos can take his dedication to community service and apply it to a broader base to improve the quality of life of county residents, Baron said.
"He's really a tireless person who just does what he needs to do to get the job done," said Baron. "I think he's a man for all people."
Ramos says he's ready to hit the ground running once he's sworn in today. He's already hired a chief of staff, Phil Paule, a Republican who ran for the 67th Assembly District seat in November but was defeated by Melissa Melendez.
"After the election, I got a series of emails from people with resumes. Phil Paule was one who shot his resume over," Ramos said.
Although he lives in Temecula, Paule grew up in San Bernardino and has experience running district offices at the local, state and federal levels, Ramos said. In addition, Ramos said Paule shares his perspectives on the issues of employment, business and regulation of business.
"He has a strong interest in working with me on the agenda I set forward," Ramos said. "He's not a San Bernardino County government insider. He's from outside the area, so he brings that fresh perspective of what we want to attack and change in San Bernardino County."
Ramos has hired Juliann Torres, a longtime county employee now in the County Counsel's Office, as his executive secretary, and will be looking to hire field representatives and other senior staff members after he is sworn in.
Cleaning up corruption, improving infrastructure in his district, growing jobs and attracting business to the county are his top priorities.
For the San Manuel tribe, Ramos' election to the Board of Supervisors could be considered one of its finest moments, especially because the votes were cast in November, which was National Native American Heritage Month.
"Recognizing that the San Manuel Indian Reservation lies within the 3rd District, the tribe recognizes that the San Manuel reservation community will be among the many constituents in a large district to be served," tribal spokesman Jacob Coin said in an email. "Of course, San Manuel wishes (Ramos) all the best as he takes on these new challenges and responsibilities."
Ramos' friends and colleagues in surrounding Native American communities also consider his election to the Board of Supervisors a high honor, symbolic of what the future can hold for gaming and non-gaming tribes alike.
"I think as time goes on you'll see (Ramos) in the Assembly or Congress. He's got a long career ahead of him," said Robert Martin, the chairman of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians in Cabazon. "Everybody was so excited about him getting elected. It's a great accomplishment, and it's something for the tribal children to look up to."

Post subject: Ray Lewis Appreciation Thread
Well guys, it's over...Ray Lewis went out as a champion and now we will never see him play another down of football
With that being said, it's time to start the RLAT! Post any pictures or GIF's that are memorable to you about Ray Lewis, or simply post a pargarph or sentence about Ray, but please keep it positive, we don't need any BS about the murder case or deer antler stuff (which I'm sure we Ravens fans would never do, but just saying).
Also feel free to post any codes for Sigs or Avi's, because I know that I for sure want a brand new Ray Lewis AVI an SIG now that we won the Superb Owl!

The greatest. I'm not sure if any other words would do it justice.
Ray Lewis has been there through our entire journey - the awful years of the '90s, the incredible Super Bowl run in 2000, the frustration and mediocrity that defined the rest of the Billick era, the constant playoff heartbreak, and the magical run we've just witnessed. From beginning to end, he has given us memories that we will cherish forever. So much to reflect on.
If anyone deserves to go out as a champion, it's Ray.

The best leader in sports I have ever seen. And this run was the perfect example of just how good a leader the guy is. Sure he was nowhere near his legendary self, but without Ray-Ray, we would not be world champs right now.
While the team might be able to upgrade the position, we will never see a leader like him again. Its going to be very strange to have no #52 firing up the team anymore.
Its been a pleasure watching you. See ya in Canton.

I have a couple of memorable moments on Ray. My most favorite one would be the first link, but all....still great for the GREATEST linebacker to ever play the game.
"The 4th down stop:"
"The death of Dustin Keller:"

Best ILB ever. Best defensive leader ever. It's definitely going to be weird next year. Hopefully he comes back to be a coach for the Ravens after he takes a break from football to spend time with his kids.

This is a Chad Johnson highlight vid, but the best part is at 2:08.
"I tried to hit Ray when he wasn't looking, and I lost... bad."
What can I say about the greatest middle linebacker to ever play the game? How about thank you? Thank you Ray, for making the first 17 years of an upstart franchise so special.

I just can't believe it. I can't believe he'll never be there to play another down. JO leaving was one thing, but Ray leaving... he's just been... he's the man. I'm not sure any team can mean more to me than this one. So many on this team were home grown Ravens... and Ray was, Jon Ogden aside, the first. And now he's gone.

It was 1997. I was around 11 years old. I went to a 1 week summer camp in Baltimore, Camp Sunrise for cancer survivors. We got invited to Ravens training camp.
We were toured by a rookie Peter Boulware nice guy, played games, watched football all that fun stuff. We all huddled around a 2nd year player by the name of Ray Lewis. I was so scared at that time the best question I could come up with was "how much do you weigh?". I got him to laugh at least then he showed me Ogden and Sarigusa and I couldn't fathom how a human could be 300lbs. (Goose just looked like the meanest human being on earth by the way).
We talked a little and he signed my football and hat. Since that day I vowed to support my Ravens. I hope one day to meet Ray Ray again.
Hey at least I can say I made Ray Lewis laugh.

The one play I will never forget from Ray Lewis was that hit on Darren Sproles. Seriously the greatest single play I've ever seen in any sport that I've ever watched!
It's so great to see him go out as a champion and the legacy he leaves behind and all that good stuff. Man, the day he gets his jersey retired and officially becomes a HOFer I'm going to have chills SO damn bad!

Can a Dependent Student File the FAFSA as Independent if the Student's Parents Don't File Federal Income Tax Returns?
Mark Kantrowitz
January 02, 2012
The next several Ask Kantro columns will answer questions about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA may be filed starting on January 1. The FAFSA is used to apply for student financial aid from the federal and state governments and from most colleges and universities for the award year that runs from July 1 to June 30.
Families should file the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 because some forms of student financial aid have very early deadlines. For example, Oregon and Connecticut have deadlines in early and mid-February and a dozen states have deadlines in March. Six states — Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont — offer state aid on a first-come, first-served basis. Some colleges have two deadlines for awarding their own financial aid funds, with students who apply by the earlier "preferred" or "priority" deadline having access to a larger pool of funds.
The FAFSA may not be filed before January 1 because some of the form's questions are based on information from federal income tax returns from the previous tax year. However, families should not wait until they've filed their federal income tax returns to file the FAFSA. Families who are unable to complete their federal income tax returns early can base the FAFSA on information from the last pay stub(s) of the year and/or W-2 and 1099 statements. Applicants will have an opportunity to correct any errors later. It is also a good idea to review the previous year's federal income tax returns because this may may help identify any types of income or exclusions from income that may have been overlooked.
I'm 22 years old, and I don't receive any financial aid. I've tried to fill out the FAFSA but I have an obstacle. I claim myself and no one else on my taxes. No one claims me. My mom does not fill out a tax return because she doesn't get a W-2. (She works as a bartender at a very small bar and is paid in cash only.) I still live at home with her, but other than that I don't get any financial help from her. Am I able to fill out a FAFSA without providing any of her information, or do I have to wait until I'm 24? — Angela T.
If a student is considered to be a dependent student, the student's parents must complete the FAFSA. The parents must also supply copies of their federal income tax returns if requested by the college financial aid administrator.
If the student is considered to be an independent student, parental information is not required on the FAFSA.
In most cases a student who is under age 24 as of December 31 of the academic year is considered to be a dependent student, regardless of whether the student is claimed as an exemption on the parent's federal income tax return and regardless of whether the student is financially self-sufficient. The main exceptions are when the student is married, a graduate student, a veteran or active duty member of the US Armed Forces or an orphan, or when the student has a dependent other than a spouse.
When there are unusual circumstances, a student can appeal to the college financial aid administrator for a dependency override. Unusual circumstances do not, however, include any of the following circumstances, alone or in combination: the student is financially self-sufficient; the student's parents do not claim the student as an exemption on their federal income tax returns; the parents refuse to complete the FAFSA; the parents refuse to supply federal income tax returns or other documentation during verification; or the parents refuse to contribute to the student's education.

The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority was created on January 1, 2003, as an independent agency to manage the day-to-day operations of San Diego International Airport and address the region's long-term air transportation needs.
The legislation that created the Airport Authority mandates three main responsibilities:
The Airport Authority is governed by an appointed board of nine members who represent all areas of San Diego County and three ex-officio members. Three members serve as the Executive Committee.
Public meetings of the full Airport Authority Board take place at 9:00 a.m. on the first Thursday of every month on the Third Floor of the Airport Authority Administrative Offices (formerly the Commuter Terminal) at the Airport. Several standing committees of the Board have been formed to better address key policy areas and develop items for consideration by the full Board. They also hold regular public meetings and include:
Airport Authority President/CEO Thella F. Bowens is responsible for management oversight of the Authority, the Authority's annual budget and a staff of approximately 370 aviation professionals.
The Airport Authority's operating revenues for Fiscal Year 2013 were $177.5 million. In addition, there were $41 million in net non-operating revenues, and $16.1 million in capital grant contributions in Fiscal Year 2013. Operating expenses for the same period totaled $126.8 million. The Airport Authority is funded through user fees, not local taxes.
The Airport Authority also serves as San Diego County's Airport Land Use Commission, responsible for protecting public health and safety surrounding airports. It accomplishes this by ensuring the orderly development of airports and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards around airports.
We will plan for and provide air transportation services to the region with safe, effective facilities that exceed our customer expectations. We are committed to operating San Diego's air transportation gateways in a manner that promotes the region's prosperity and protects its quality of life.

Twilight begins during the mindset of 17 years old Miss Isabella Swan or "Bella" who's got a typical uninteresting life, up to the point she relocates towards Forks, Washington together with Charlie, his father.

Merely one very simple bet on baseball, she runs into a chaser (James). James quickly gets keen about Bella, and determines to follow her. The Cullen's keep her protected, but because Bella is very persistent, she chooses she is going to go immediately after him alone by herself.

At the conclusion Edward along with the Cullen's rescued her. And finally, Edward and Bella swear to be with each other always and forever.read more

Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Al Qaeda's Senior Leadership
By Daveed Gartentsein-Ross
Gunpowder & Lead
January 19, 2013
With recent events in Mali and Algeria, there is a notable uptick in interest in Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). One question commentators are asking is what the relationship is between AQIM and al Qaeda's senior leadership (AQSL) in Pakistan, under Ayman al Zawahiri. The word I've seen employed most frequently to describe the links between the two is "murky."
I agree with the characterization that the relationship between AQIM and AQSL is murky; but when it is translated into popular discourse, murkiness is often inaccurately understood as "we don't know if there are ties between the two." For example, Max Fisher writes at the Washington Post, "It's tough to know the exact connection between leaders in the Algeria-based AQIM and those in far-away Afghanistan and Pakistan…. It's entirely possible that AQIM's links to al-Qaeda already are, are becoming, or will become closer to al-Qaeda than we think." The clear implication is that there may be some connections between AQIM and AQSL, but that it is impossible to know whether they exist, and if so, to what extent. Likewise, Jason Burke writes in The Guardian, "The ties binding AQIM to the leadership of al-Qaida far away in south-west Asia have always been tenuous. The difficulties in communication, let alone travel, precluded any tight co-operation."
But the documents captured from Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad do reveal communications between AQIM and AQSL that extend over the span of four years, and include discussion of strategic and operational issues. While it is possible that after bin Laden's death, when Ayman al Zawahiri became AQSL's emir, these communications were crippled or otherwise ceased, there's no reason that this should be our a priori assumption. This entry is designed to add granularity to the discussion of AQIM and AQSL through a look at the Abbottabad documents. It concludes by agreeing that the AQIM/AQSL relationship is murky, but explaining that commentators can do a better job of representing the ambiguities.
The Abbottabad Documents on AQSL and AQIM
Four of the released Abbottabad documents make referfence to the AQSL/AQIM relationship. I examine these documents in the chronological order in which they were written:
Document 11, circa early 2007. The author states that he is in in contact with members of AQIM, who are doing fine. He includes an upbeat message from AQIM ("the brothers in Algeria") saying that "things are steadily improving: morale is rising, support is growing, and military activity has been improving recently. Every week there is a bombing, an encounter or ambushes." The message from AQIM says that "the enemy," presumably the Algerian military, was "thrown off by the recent strikes and have responded with continuous random shelling of the mountains. This has been very good for the brothers, as much of the ammunition has not detonated and the brothers are using it." AQIM records five casualties within the week preceding their message.
There are tactical notes from AQIM regarding the fight against the Algerians. They state their concern "about the Russian Cobra helicopters (MI-34) with laser-guided missiles; they are impacting on the four-wheel-drive vehicles, which are indispensible in the Sahara Desert. Underlying that is the problem of badly needed money for good-quality weapons to counter these menacing helicopters; the mujahedin don't have single one of them, nor a single missile." The Algerians' infrared sensors are singled out as being of particular concern.
The correspondence records that the "commander of the east" informed AQIM that they received four Libyan recruits in the past week, following a group of thirty the week before that. (Note that this precedes al Qaeda's formal merger with the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group by around a year, indicating that Libyans were already joining AQIM before the merger occurred.) The Libyan recruits were being trained at Tabsa, which is about 600 kilometers east of Algiers, and featured in late 2006 AQIM/GSPC propaganda.
Document 19, circa May/June 2010. This letter, from bin Laden to 'Atiyya, requests (p. 26) that messages be sent to the leadership of AQIM and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) asking them to coordinate with Yunis al Mauritani ("Shaykh Yunis") in "whatever he asks of him." In particular, bin Laden asks 'Atiyya to "hint" to AQIM that they should provide al Mauritani with "financial support that he might need in the next six months, to the tune of approximately 200,000 euros." Bin Laden specifies that al Mauritani should be given a name that doesn't divulge his nationality, and asks 'Atiyya to set up "a secure method of communications and coordination" between al Mauritani and both AQIM and AQAP. Bin Laden stresses the need for "the utmost secrecy" regarding al Mauritani's doings, and says that knowledge of his operations should be restricted to AQIM and AQAP's leadership.
Document 15, October 21, 2010. In this letter from bin Laden to 'Atiyya, Abu Yahya al Libi is appointed as 'Atiyya's first deputy, and a big part of his mission is providing religious guidance ("sharia research") to both AQIM and Somalia's al Shabaab. With respect to AQIM, bin Laden writes (p. 5): "The brothers in the Islamic Maghreb might experience divisions. To avoid this, the research that you said that you are going to prepare on dealing with the apostates should be sent to them. It should be complete and comprehensive and it should include the opinions of the scholars."
Bin Laden also sends a messages to Abu Musab Abd al-Wadud (the head of AQIM) through 'Atiyya, stating that 'Atiyya should add an attached file "to the files of brother 'Abd-al-Wadud or you can send it to them [i.e. AQIM] as part of your correspondence to them."
Further, bin Laden advises AQIM (p. 11) that "planting trees helps al mujahedin and gives them cover" from satellites and spy planes. He notes that trees "would give al mujahedin the freedom to move around especially if the enemy sends spying aircraft to the area." He suggests that they get trees from plantations, "or they can even create their own plantation."
Document 10, April 26, 2011. In this letter to 'Atiyya, Bin Laden writes about French hostages being kept by AQIM. At the time, France was involved in military operations against Muammar Qaddafi's regime in Libya. Bin Laden warns that because the French are involved in this way, French hostages should not be killed because "the atmosphere after the French standing towards the Libyan people does not condone killing the French, due to what will follow of negative reflections, after it became evident that most of the common people are supporting Sarkozy."
Bin Laden advises AQIM to keep the hostages until after the 2012 French elections; and if this isn't possible, he wants to exchange half of them, and keep the other half ("the higher ranking and the more important ones"). He does not want the negotiations between AQIM and the French government to be public, but he does want the hostage issue to remain a political liability for Sarkozy. AQIM appears to have largely handled the hostages in a manner consistent with bin Laden's directives, though obviously it is difficult to ascribe causality to bin Laden's letter.
Only a fraction of the Abbottabad documents that U.S. forces captured have been released publicly. However, the limited released material indicates ongoing communication between AQSL and AQIM that goes beyond current implications in the public discourse that we do not know if they were in touch. This communication extended over several years — 2007 through 2011 — and survived changes in AQIM's leadership and also attrition within AQSL's ranks.
There are most definitely ambiguities within this evidence due to the fact that we're only seeing a shadow of the overall relationship. For example, we are only seeing one side of the correspondence: in every instance, we do not know the response prompted by the letters that were sent. It is worth noting, though, that nowhere in these documents do we see indications that bin Laden thought AQIM had been unresponsive to him, nor that the length of time it took to communicate precluded effective contact or some form of cooperation between AQIM and AQSL.
Al Qaeda and its various branches and affiliates did not operate as a perfectly hierarchical organization even before bin Laden's death. An article that I continue to recommend detailing the relationship the senior leadership had with other entities is Leah Farrall's "How Al Qaeda Works," which was published in Foreign Affairs in early 2011. Farrall wrote, "Due to its dispersed structure, al Qaeda operates as a devolved network hierarchy, in which levels of command authority are not always clear; personal ties between militants carry weight and, at times, transcend the command structure between core, branch, and franchises. For their part, al Qaeda's core members focus on exercising strategic command and control to ensure the centralization of the organization's actions and message, rather than directly managing its branch and franchises."
The Abbottabad correspondence fits well with Farrall's framework. One may adopt a minimalist or maximalist interpretation of what the Abbottabad documents mean. On the maximalist side:
- AQIM was sending situation reports back to AQSL, which may indicate that they sought its strategic guidance or even approval.
- Bin Laden was providing significant guidance into how AQIM should fit into al Qaeda's plans in other theaters. Al Mauritani, for whom bin Laden was trying to ensure both AQIM and AQAP's cooperation, was at the time preparing a terrorist plot for Europe, news of which would break later that year.
- The religious guidance that bin Laden wanted provided to AQIM in Document 15 suggests that he sees AQSL as influential enough to heal potential rifts within the group.
- One can argue that the fact the French hostages whom bin Laden wrote about in April 2011 were handled consistent with his advice may indicate his influence over AQIM.
- One can argue that Document 11 indicates that communication between AQIM and AQSL may have been relatively fast. The correspondence refers to events that were happening during the past week, which may indicate that AQIM thought AQSL would receive the missive while it was still timely.
On the minimalist side:
- One can point to the language bin Laden used to suggest that he did not consider himself to have a great deal of control over AQIM. For example, in Document 19, rather than just ordering AQIM to provide Mauritani with financial support, he asks 'Atiyya to "hint" to AQIM that they should do so.
- One can argue that the path of the correspondence indicates that it was likely slow. Bin Laden was communicating with 'Atiyya rather than communicating directly with AQIM, and 'Atiyya may have in turn needed to pass the message through another intermediary.
- Further, the indirect nature of the communication may have diminished the sway bin Laden could have over AQIM through the force of his personality.
Of course, when you are seeing only a fraction of a relationship, there will be a great deal of questions about the whole. But the Abbottabad documents are indicative of long-running communication between AQIM and AQSL preceding bin Laden's death that goes beyond the public commentary suggesting that we don't even know if there are "ties" between them. This does not mean the AQIM/AQSL relationship isn't murky — it is — but our discussion of that murkiness should certainly take note of the data points that are available to us.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – The nationally top-ranked Cortland men's lacrosse team opened up a 9-1 lead at the half and went on to defeat Aurora University, 14-8, Saturday night in the second round of the NCAA Div. III Men's Lacrosse Tournament. The Red Dragons improved to 18-0 on the season and advanced to host Western New England, a 15-12 winner at Nazareth, in a quarterfinal matchup on Wednesday. The Spartans' season ended at 15-4.
Ten different players scored at least one goal for Cortland, led by junior Cody Consul (Webster/Webster Schroeder) and freshman James Stavrakis (Hillsborough, NJ) with three each. Consul also chipped in with an assist. Freshman Zach Hopps (Akwesasne/Massena) tallied one goal and three assists, junior Brian Winterfeldt (Merrick/Calhoun) and sophomore Matt Rakoczy (Clifton Park/Albany Academy) each had one goal and one assist and junior Joe Slavik (Binghamton/Seton Catholic) recorded four assists. Seniors Taylor Mendoza (Greensboro, NC/Western Guilford) and Thomas Casey (Yorktown), juniors Stephen Burke (Yorktown) and Mike Cummings (Syracuse/East Syracuse Minoa) and sophomore Mike Cantelli (Holmdel, NJ) notched one goal apiece.
Senior goalie Mike Kaminski (Sayville) made 10 saves and allowed six goals in 50 minutes and six seconds before giving way to junior Steve Mahle (Camillus/West Genesee), who stopped one shot and surrendered two goals in the final 9:54. Freshman Pat Baldwin won 12 of 19 faceoffs and collected six ground balls, and sophomore Billy Davis (Manhasset) won all five faceoffs he took and recorded four ground balls. Sophomore Patrick Brown (Camillus/West Genesee) registered a team-high five ground balls, while senior Brandon Mulholland (Levittown/MacArthur) scooped up four.
Sophomore Max Obriecht (Naperville, IL/Naperville North) led the Spartans with two goals and two assists. Junior Garret Rosiek (Blue Bell, PA/WissAhickon) registered two goals and one assist, juniors Pat Diorka (Naperville, IL/Waubonsie Valley) and Justin Bose (Ann Arbor, MI/Ann Arbor Pioneer) each scored twice and junior Zachary Olsen (Anthem, AZ/Boulder Creek) and sophomore Jordan Williams (Mesa, AZ/Red Mountain) contributed one assist apiece.
Junior goalie Adam Holka (Howell, MI/Hartland) turned aside 16 shots. Obriecht collected a game-high six ground balls, and junior Spencer Fuqua (Cypress, CA/Los Alamitos) recorded five ground balls and four caused turnovers.
The Red Dragons opened up a 4-0 lead in the first quarter as four different players scored. Obriecht put the Spartans on the scoreboard with a man-up goal 11 seconds before the end of the period to make it 4-1. Cortland built what seemed like a commanding 9-1 lead at intermission as the Red Dragons out scored Aurora, 5-0, in the second quarter. Stavrakis scored two of his goals and Slavik picked up a pair of assists during the quarter.
Aurora opened the third quarter by scoring three of the first four goals to pull to within 10-4 with 9:25 remaining. Cortland answered with scores from Casey and Cantelli just over two minutes apart to push the Red Dragons' lead back to eight at 12-4. Rosiek tallied a goal with 3.5 seconds on the clock to end the quarter and Bose brought the Spartans to within 12-6 with a goal just 35 seconds into the final quarter. Cortland quelled any chance for an upset as Consul and Stavrakis each scored his third goal of the night to make it a 14-6 game with 9:44 remaining. Aurora closed the scoring with goals from Bose at 8:26 and Obriecht at 1:34 for the 14-8 final.

|Xavier CarterLSU Track & Field - 2006 Corbett Award Winner
The first athlete since Jesse Owens ... Those six words express just how rare an accomplishment LSU sprinter Xavier Carter achieved in 2006. He was named both the NCAA Division I indoor and outdoor Male Track Athlete of the Year as well as the Southeastern Conference Male of Athlete of the Year in all sports. As significant as those titles are, it's still that "first athlete since Jesse Owens" moniker that best captures what Carter managed to do in a four-day period at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
During those 72 hours on a June weekend in Sacramento, Calif., Carter ran nine races and won or was part of a winning relay in eight of them. He won titles in the 100 meters and 400 meters, making him the first athlete in the 86-year history of the NCAA Championships to capture the 100-400 double. Carter also was part of LSU's victorious four-by-one hundred and four-by-four hundred relay teams.
No athlete had won four championships at an NCAA meet since 1936 when Jesse Owens did it in for the second year in a row. Owens' victories came in the 100- and 220-yard dashes, the 220-yard hurdles, and the long jump. That's the same year that Owens won four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics.
Owens' legacy was injected into the storyline of last year's NCAA meet as Carter's remarkable weekend unfolded. After running second leg on the Tigers' victorious 400-meter relay team on Friday, Carter came back the next day and won the 100 and 400 meters, with just a 38-minute break in between the finals. He finished his virtuoso performance and a whirlwind two hours by anchoring LSU's 1,600-meter relay team to victory.
Carter became the first LSU male athlete to win an NCAA title at 100 meters, breaking his school record of 10.12 seconds with a time of 10.09, despite running against a slight headwind. He became the first Tiger to win the NCAA outdoor 400 in 72 years, doing it in a personal best of 44.53 seconds.
LSU placed second to Florida State in the team standings as Carter supplied 25 of the Tigers' 51 points, 10 points shy of a team title.
A native of Palm Bay, Fla., Carter wrote his name throughout the LSU record books in just two seasons. He tied a school record by winning seven NCAA titles and earned 10 All-America honors. He also has four individual school records as he recorded top marks in the 100 (10.09) and 200 (20.02) during the outdoor season and the 200 meters (20.30) and 400 meters (45.28) during the indoor season.
In addition, he anchored LSU to a collegiate record time of two minutes, fifty-nine point nine seconds in the outdoor 4x400 meter relay and a new school record time of three minutes, four point zero one seconds in the indoor 4x400 meter relay.
He did all this while splitting his athletic calendar in half between track season and playing wide receiver for the Tigers football team. During two falls he scored four touchdowns in spot duty.
Among those who marveled at Carter's NCAA performance was University of Alabama coach Harvey Glance, a former Olympian and three-time NCAA outdoor spring champion at Auburn. Glance said Carter accomplished "some impossible things" and said the LSU sprinter "takes you back to old-school track." In fact, all the way back to 1936 and Jesse Owens.

Garth Whyte, president Restaurants Canada, is joined by Liam Dolan, chair, and other industry leaders from across Canada, during a press conference requesting an emergency meeting with Prince Minister Stephen Harper addressing a labour shortage in the food service industry.

The largest restaurant association in the country is calling for an immediate end to the moratorium on temporary foreign workers in the food service industry and wants an emergency meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Restaurants Canada says the labour shortage in the industry has reached a crisis level in some regions of the country as a result of the moratorium.
"It's having a negative impact not only on our business owners, but on their employees as well," said Garth Whyte, president and CEO of Restaurants Canada.
"We need the government to act now."
The association, which represents over 30,000 members across the country, is holding meetings in Prince Edward Island this week.
Charlottetown restaurant owner and Restaurants Canada chair Liam Dolan said Tuesday board members from across the country identified the labour shortage crisis as the single most important issue affecting their businesses.
He said he is seeing an especially large shortage of cooks.
"I've been in business for 31 years, and this is the worst I've seen a shortage of cooks in this province," Dolan said.
"I'm open six days a week in the winter and seven days a week in the summer. And I'm seriously considering not opening on Sundays."
This will affect everyone who works in his restaurant, including students he said.
The moratorium was imposed on the food and services sector about a month ago after national media stories emerged about employers in several provinces accused of hiring foreign workers over Canadians.
Complaints emerged that temporary foreign workers were being given more hours and more shifts for less pay than their Canadian counterparts.
Whyte said the federal government is penalizing the entire food service industry in Canada for abuses by a minority of restaurant owners.
"We want to be part of the solution," he said.
"We think there could be tougher rules on those that abuse (the program). We are strongly against misusing this program."
Restaurants Canada has launched an online petition called 'Protecting Canadian Jobs' that has already gathered close to 3,000 signatures from business owners and employees.
It is calling for an emergency meeting with Harper to discuss the labour shortage crisis in the industry.
"We're serious, this is important," Whyte said.
"We need to meet with the prime minister and they need to take this ban off immediately."

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
No way Flacco has earned a Rivers/Eli/BenR type of contract. That said, you won't get him to agree to a deal anywhere near a Kolb or Cassel deal, even if they were egregiously overpaid. Plus QB is the one position where a failure to get an average or slightly above-average player at minimum, guarantees failure (barring a time-machine and an all-time great defense). So you hope to sign him in between these two levels, but would be forced to sign him at the higher level if push came to shove.
From that point, if Flacco keeps improving, you signed a fair to eventually-cheap deal; if Flacco fails to develop and plateaus at around where he is, you overpaid at the position fairly significantly.
If Flacco insists on a deal that is bigger than Rivers/Eli/Ben then I think you make him wait until 2013 and take your chances.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Noway hes worth rivers money? I realize eli and ben won SBs but at the same point in their respective careers theyre all arguably similar players even statistically. Wanting more isnt necessarily below market price with inflation and considering his age. I believe, may be wrong, but eli has the latest deal and it was signed in 2008? If he was asking to be paid brady or brees money id agree youre better off waiting him out but those deals those guys signed were young qbs you believe will take the next step and can lead your team which i believe he falls under.-JAB
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Rivers 6 years 39Guarntee
Ben 8 years 36 G
Vick 6 years 37 G
Eli 7 35G
Peyton is under the 100M club but his guarntee'd money is about the ame with 5 years 35G.
Personally I think Flacco is in the land of 7 years 100M(with all the incentives) and about 32G. Incentive laden more than the others, considering he hasn't had the level of success(even at this point in his career) as the others besides Rivers. But personally I don't think Rivers is very elite either. Give Joe a pair of 6'6' and fast damn receivers(who can also catch), along with Gates and a decent running game and I bet he puts up far better stats. They've handed Joe a washedup short Mason, a possesion guy in Boldin, a beatup end of career Heap(thanks to Boller) and scrubs elsewhere, until T.Smith. And a unimaginative bum of a OC who shouldn't even be coaching HS ball let alone the NFL.

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Second, it's like this. Here's two sets of data for you--first, the ratings for all the QBs of the teams that won 12 or more games last year, and then the records of the teams that had QBs which finished the year +/- 5 points of Flacco on the QB rating scale, and who played all 16 games (if you want, throw out Jackson--he only played 15). I posted this earlier, but not in this format, so maybe it'll be clearer this way:
Brees- 110.6
Brady- 105.6
Smith- 90.7
Roethlisberger- 90.1
Flacco- 80.9
Newton- 84.9/6 wins
Hasselbeck- 82.4/9 wins
Flacco- 80.9/12 wins
Dalton- 80.4/9 wins
Jackson- 79.2/7 wins
Fitzpatrick- 79.1/6 wins
Sanchez- 78.2/8 wins
So what does it tell you? Obviously, it's not a large enough sample size to say anything definitively, but it does show two things--that Flacco's QB rating was by far the worst of the teams that were the 'elite' of the league last year, and that QBs who got ratings similar to Flacco tended to win far fewer games.
So... upon seeing this, it raises a few questions for me, and makes one thing seem likely. The latter first--getting high quality (statistically) play out of whoever is at the QB position is less important to the Ravens than it is to other teams (or, at least it was to the 2011 Ravens--maybe 2012 will be different). If you get 12 wins with an 80.9 rating, you're apparently making up for that deficiency in other areas (defense, running... probably not special teams!). The questions it raises are these--how many wins would that have been at a 90 rating? How many at a 70 rating? If that's the spread you're working with, what's that actually worth paying for?
Is this in any way definitive? Am I saying I'm right? Not at all. But I think it's a logical, cogent viewpoint, and I think that I want to see another year of this offense before I spend any big money on any part of it, if I'm the Ravens FO. You may be right--Cam may be the whole problem. The Ravens should have gotten rid of him just to see what would happen, IMO. But until you've got a better idea as to exactly where the problem is... I wouldn't throw a lot of cash around.

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
If you go to the playoffs with a quarterback for all four years of his career, you keep him.
Redmike, you can draw other conclusions from your same stats. How about this one: Joe Flacco's QB rating was aberrantly low in the 2011 season despite his success as an NFL quarterback.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

There are also products like Wilton Pearl Dust that are made specifically for adding color to fondant and gum paste flowers and other decorations.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Notable Facts Even though Beaujolais is technically part of Burgundy, its climate, soil, grape varieties and winemaking methods make it completely separate in character. The primary grape of Beaujolais is Gamay, a very thin-skinned, light bodied grape that does particularly well in Beaujolais. It also does particularly well with the method of winemaking in Beaujolais – Carbonic Maceration. Carbonic maceration is anaerobic fermentation – meaning the fermentation takes place INSIDE the berry. How does this happen? Whole grape clusters are carefully put into a tank, given carbon dioxide and sealed to prevent contact with oxygen. Then a chemical process occurs inside the grape, turning sugars in to ethanol, aka alcohol. The process allows the fermenting juice to extract the color of the skins and the fruitiness of the grape without the harsh tannins of the skins. Not all Beaujolais use this method, but almost every Beaujolais Nouveau does. The result is a very fruity wine with fresh berry favors and super-light tannins and body.
The ACs of Beaujolais Over half of the production of Beaujolais is under the Beaujolais AC. The second level is Beaujolais-Village, and the final is Beaujolais Crus, of which there are ten. Beaujolais Villages AC is a bit better quality than the first level, and the ten Crus are even higher quality. Most Cru Beaujolais AC wines use regular fermentation rather than carbonic, and some even let their wines age a bit in oak. In fact, after a few years in oak and bottle, a good vintage of Beaujolais can be mistaken for a Burgundy! But this is the exception to the rule - the majority of Beaujolais should be drunk within the first 2 years. In a good vintage a few of the cru wines may hold up for more, but Beaujolais is known for being fruity, light and easy drinking for right now. Serve a bit cool and enjoy without thought.
The 10 Cru Beaujolais to look for: Morgon, St-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Brouilly, Côte-du-Brouilly, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Regnié.

PASADENA - Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte, has called for a prompt investigation of the March slaying of 19-year-old Kendrec McDade by Pasadena police officers.
"I urge the city of Pasadena, the Pasadena Police Department, and other relevant agencies to complete their investigations of this incident in a thorough and timely manner, so that the community's questions can be answered," Chu said in a statement received by this newspaper on Thursday. "We must ensure that the circumstances leading up to the death of Kendrec McDade are never repeated, and only a complete, thorough and impartial investigation can ensure this."
Chu's request comes one day after Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard and District 3 City Councilman Chris Holden appealed for patience from the community.
Pasadena Community Coalition member Martin Gordon echoed Chu's calls for a prompt investigation. McDade, a former Azusa High School football standout, was killed March 24.
"The community can and will have to wait for a detailed analysis of the McDade shooting," Gordon said in a statement Thursday.
But, he said, the department's present policies, procedures and protocols may have contributed to the shooting. Gordon pressed for a speedy investigation and said he wants immediate policy changes "before we have another tragic death."
Four investigations into the McDade shooting are under way: by the FBI, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the Pasadena Police Department and a city-funded probe by the Office of Independent Review Group.
Pasadena police officers Jeffrey Newlen and Mathew Griffin shot and killed the unarmed McDade on a nearly pitch-black stretch of Sunset Avenue.
They were responding to a 9-1-1 call of an armed robbery near the intersection of Orange Grove Boulevard and Summit Avenue. Police said they believed McDade was armed when he allegedly grabbed his waistband after being confronted.
The 9-1-1 caller, Oscar Carrillo, later admitted to lying about being robbed at gunpoint.
Griffin and Newlen remain on paid administrative leave.
McDade family attorney Caree Harper has asked for the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to launch an investigation.
According to FBI officials, the federal investigators will report back to the U.S. Department of Justice, which will make the ultimate decision on whether to investigate further or file charges against the officers.
On April 3, the McDade family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Pasadena and the Police Department.
Frustrations stemming from the McDade shooting began to boil over in Pasadena on Thursday.
To many community activists, McDade's death is an ugly reminder of the often-strained relationship between the Pasadena Police Department and minority men. Nine men of color have died at the hands of police in the past 20 years.
"The frustration is that these officers are not fired from their job or at least (placed) on unpaid leave," Pasadena business leader Ishmael Trone said. "The people frustrated with the chief are frustrated because they want to see some justice exacted on these officers."
Since the shooting, the information coming from the Pasadena Police Department has continued to change.
Police said March 26 they were confident investigators would find the gun reported by Carrillo, the 26-year-old Pasadena cellphone salesman who accused McDade and another teenager of robbing him at gunpoint.
But earlier that day, Carrillo had confessed to police that he lied about the weapon.
Pasadena police Chief Phillip Sanchez said on March 28 that video evidence confirmed McDade's presence at the original burglary.
By Saturday, Sanchez's story had changed.
He told a select group of Pasadena residents at a secret meeting that the video evidence was in fact a series of photographs.
"I respect Chief Sanchez, but he is digging a terrible hole by telling a little bit here and a little bit there," Joe Brown, president of the Pasadena-branch NAACP, said Thursday.
"We continued with the video charade for 10 days," Brown said. "One day it's a gun, the next day it's a video, and the next day (the police) tell people let's be good, and we will give you the investigation you want."
Similarities exist between the McDade case and the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida at the hands of George Zimmerman, Brown said.
He said Griffin and Newlen's actions are being justified in the same way that Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law was used to justify Martin's shooting. Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in that case.
Pasadena residents are asking that Griffin and Newlen be held to account, Brown said.
"This community is not asking for an arrest, but for disclosure of what happened that evening," he said.
The McDade family has said it supports criminal charges if the district attorney sees fit.
"If charges are warranted, we want the appropriate action taken," Harper said Thursday.

Ambassador Choir Sings Christmas Carols
As I watched choir members sing Christmas Carols in chapel – their postures at attention, eyes trained on Professor Stan Campbell – and felt the concentration of each singer, I was taken back to my own choir days as a student here at Multnomah. I enjoyed remembering the friends I made while singing, touring, and falling asleep on the bus as we traveled from church to church. Despite being a group of very diverse peoples, there was a special kinship we all felt in using the musical giftings that God gave us to bring encouragement to men and women along the West coast.

I've written many times about how Republicans and Democrats often exchange scripts when it comes to the filibuster. When one party is in power in the Senate, the filibuster is a terribly evil idea that must be done away with; when that same party is in the minority, the filibuster is an absolutely essential tool to avoid majoritarian tyranny. Lather, rinse, repeat. But I'm pretty disappointed to see the liberal group Common Cause behaving the same way. They actually filed a lawsuit to get the filibuster declared unconstitutional, which was just (predictably) dismissed by a federal judge.
The judge, Emmet Sullivan of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said "reaching the merits of this case would require an invasion" into internal Senate processes and "would thus express a lack of respect for the Senate as a coordinate branch of government."
"The court acknowledges at the outset that the Filibuster Rule is an important and controversial issue," Sullivan wrote. In recent years, the judge continued, "even the mere threat of a filibuster is powerful enough to completely forestall legislative action. However, this court finds itself powerless to address this issue for two independent reasons."
Sullivan said the plaintiffs, the government accountability group Common Cause, four members of the House of Representatives and three individuals, do not have legal standing to challenge the filibuster rule. The judge rejected the argument that vote nullification—the alleged injury among the House members—reaches the threshold for legal standing.
"Second, and no less important, the court is firmly convinced that to intrude into this area would offend the separation of powers on which the Constitution rests," Sullivan said. "Nowhere does the Constitution contain express requirements regarding the proper length of, or method for, the Senate to debate proposed legislation."
The judge is absolutely right on this, of course, and this lawsuit was ridiculous from the start. There was no way in hell the federal courts were going to intervene in the internal rules of the Senate (and that is an entirely separate issue from whether the filibuster should exist or not, and in what form). More importantly, Common Cause is being little more than a tool of the Democratic party here, flipping on the issue whenever the party does. Here is what they said in 2005 in a press release (which has now been removed from the Common Cause website), when it was the Republicans who wanted to get rid of the filibuster, at least for judicial nominees, and the Democrats were solidly in favor of it:
Common Cause strongly opposes any effort by Senate leaders to outlaw filibusters of judicial nominees to silence a vigorous debate about the qualifications of these nominees, short-circuiting the Senate's historic role in the nomination approval process.
"The filibuster shouldn't be jettisoned simply because it's inconvenient to the majority party's goals," said Common Cause President Chellie Pingree. "That's abuse of power."
And now the entire filibuster itself is allegedly unconstitutional according to that same group. Come on, folks, let's at least try to pretend to have some intellectual integrity.

Note: While this tip is geared towards Windows 7 users, except for some minor differences, Vista users can proceed, using the same process.
Are you having computer problems that nothing seems to fix? Do you wish you could go back to an earlier time and undo something you've done? A time before you started having problems. A time before you installed that new software. A time when the sun was shining, flowers were in bloom, and that stupid computer worked. You might try System Restore, a Windows utility designed to return your computer to an earlier time.
Running System Restore
Accessing System Restore and starting the process in Windows 7 just takes a few minutes. Running it, however, takes much longer, but it's probably the best problem solving feature in your computer. You begin by clicking on the Start button and clicking the Accessories folder in All Programs. In the Accessories folder, you'll find the System Tools folder.
In the System Tools folder, look for System Restore.
Click on that and your System Restore window will open.
Click on the Next button.
This window shows a series of dates and times at which restore points were set. If a date earlier than the time you started having problems is showing, you can select it. If not, you can check the box beside Show more restore points. It's best not to go too far back. It's time now to remember when it was that the sun, flowers, and that stupid computer were doing what they were supposed to be doing. Select your date and click Next.
One last chance. If you're satisfied that this is the date you want, click Finish. Take a break. This will take a while and will include an automatic Restart.
Tinkering with System Restore Settings
If you're comfortable adjusting settings in your computer, you might try making some modifications to your System Restore settings. Click Start then right click on Computer. Select Properties from the submenu.
Click on Advanced system settings.
Click on the System Protection tab at the top, then the Configure button at the lower right.
At this point, you can increase or decrease the number of restore points (the moments in time to which you can return) by using the slider near the bottom of the window.
With any luck, you'll never need System Restore, but if you ever do, I hope the information we've provided here will help you understand and execute it.

I made a usb bt3 (from iso in windows and virtual CD) and it works on acer travelmate 663LMi. I have some issues with external USB keyboard tho ONLY with KDM: when numlock is off and i press page up/down or keys home insert etc... I get a screenshot sometimes it crashes (as it takes dozens of screenshots). FLUX runs smoothly.
So no big issue here, any tips would be welcome tho.
Anyway, after that I tried bt3 stick on a packard bell easynote E1260 ...(never had any luck booting with usb here, not even USB_FFD boots on this sliper)
A bit sloppy here, I have grub already installed, I copied the the USB bt3 contents on hda7 ext2 and modified menu.lst it kinda worked but although I have full screen, applications windows are restricted to a smaller part of the screen. It's difficult to describe the visual effect, but it is problematic to use the mouse to focus inside any applications' window. For example the text URL entry area of firefox. This problem applies to both KDM and FLUX....
I must admit 1st time user of grub and bt so do i need to change something?
Is it a better idea to try bt2 final? (one laptop if 3 years old the other 4) (any links?)
from syslinux directory I copied into grub.lst the following
title BT+FLUX VGA301
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=0x301 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=256 autoexec=xconf;flux
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
I tried VGA=normal , 792, 0x317 also but problem with pointer remains,
(I found very little information on google, about chexpand: what is it for btw?)
I made the grub.lst entry based on the original syslinux.cfg
LABEL flux
MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode (Flux)
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=256 autoexec=xconf;flux
I would really appreciate your help. btw 1st time poster here.

You know, there is something about all these new faith-based movies that bothers me. While they are well intended (and looking to make good box office just like regular Hollywood movies), they aren't really art. They are created to give, promote, propagate the "Christian message" to people who, for the most part, already believe and are willing to forgive the sermon-like confessional (apologetic) nature of the movie. These message movies (e.g. "God's Not Dead") differ from movies that tell … [Read more...]

In your search for Rev.War and Civil war vets have you made use of:
Jackson County, Ohio, Military Veteran Burials. From the Revolutionary
War to 1984. Compiled by Thomas W. Bowman, Wellston, OH 45692.
From inspecting the entries, it appears that the author obtained the
Civil War service records of the vets. Perhaps he still has them.

Subject: [OHJACKSO-L] Revolutionary War vets buried in Jackson Co.
Can somone shed some light on what became of the local John James
chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution? I do not see it on
the the DAR website. Has it been dissolved in recent years and combined
into another local area chapter?
Years ago, the Jackson county chapter of the DAR "identified" the graves
of 31 Rev War vets here and there is mention of their names in the 1991
book (175th anniversary of the county) that the Jackson county
genealogical society published. The JCOGS chapter, in 1986, had
published an article or two in the Jackson newspaper, asking for more
help in identifying Rev War vets buried here. What was the result of
that effort? I have found 28 grave registration cards for Revolutionary
War vets and would like to "compare notes".
The very first Rev War vet's gravesite that I visited recently (Thomas
Oliver 1763-1844), is unacknowledged in any way (no SAR or DAR flag
holder or VA stone). It was a chore just locating it in such a small
cemetary (Mt. Zion). Which begs the question, what's the condition of
the other Patriot graves that I plan to visit soon?
As an SAR member, my goal is to see to it that these American patriots
final resting places are acknowledged, but I certainly don't want to
duplicate effort that may be already being pursued by another group or
individual. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

Fey, Tina. Bossypants
Tina Fey is the queen of self-deprecating humor, completely willing to humiliate herself for a laugh. Her new memoir comes complete with cringe-inducing photos of her childhood, humorous stories about her early days in comedy, and tales of her current struggles to balance motherhood and career. Although the book at times seems a bit of a hodgepodge, jumping from tales of her disastrous honeymoon cruise to snippets of "30 Rock" scripts, most of it is laugh-out-loud funny. You don't have to be a Tina Fey or "30 Rock" fan to thoroughly enjoy Bossypants.

At dinner Monday night, friends and I discussed the passion so many of our other friends have for a myriad of topics.
For one it's water quality; another hunting; someone else history and still another, football.
"What are you passionate about?" I was asked.
There was no answer.
At one time in my life, I was passionate about my children, but as they grew and needed me less, my passion waned.
Once my work was a passion, but during 20 years in journalism I have developed a cynicism that caused that passion to ebb.

The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center has launched a pilot study to determine whether breast cancer patients benefit from a one-time transition visit at the end of their standard treatment.
During the visit, a nurse provides a summary of all cancer treatment the patient received, explains the potential long-term effects of the treatment and offers referrals to other care providers.
The study is one of many planned as part of the Cancer Center's new survivorship initiative. Other future research initiatives will be based around a $150,000 National Cancer Institute grant to investigate ways to use the Internet to help learn more about the best ways to care for people in this phase of survivorship. The Cancer Center plans to use this research in the future to develop evidence-based approaches to survivorship care for all cancer populations.
"It's very clear both from our own experience and the published medical literature that patients have issues after the completion of cancer treatment," said Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H., director of the U-M Breast Cancer Survivorship Program. "Cancer treatment itself is so intense and complicated, but patients are fairly well supported by family, friends and medical professionals during diagnosis and treatment. Then they enter this era we've termed 'survivorship,' and often they find support, including informational support, is lacking."
The new study is enrolling patients who have finished all forms of breast cancer treatment, except hormonal therapy, within the past nine months. The ultimate goal is to determine whether the visit helps patients to manage their own health care.
Olga Muñiz, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2007, said she appreciated the opportunity to have an extended conversation about her concerns. She said she has been having problems with sleeping and is especially interested to know what she should do to prevent recurrence.
"It was very helpful because I did have some questions, even though I do a lot of research on my own and read a lot," said Muñiz, a professor of Spanish and Italian at Hillsdale College. "It's always good to discuss topics with someone else who is more knowledgeable. I was reassured."
Other women have different questions, Griggs said. For example, they may have concerns about fatigue, sexual side effects or changes in the size or shape of their breast. They may be coping with premature menopause, which requires management of symptoms like hot flashes. Or they may need a referral to psychoncology to help work through anxiety, depression or other emotional issues that affect their work or social life.
The transition from active treatment to survivorship can also spark questions about the risk of cancer in other family members.
"Sometimes people need to revisit their original diagnosis. They want to talk about causes of breast cancer. A lot of people need to make sense of what happened to them," Griggs said. "Things happen quickly after a cancer diagnosis, and people jump into treatment. This is the time to reflect upon what they've been through and what this means to their life story."

Bug found by John McGowan. - "REM 1990-01-01 SATISFY 1" would yield a spurious parse error in earlier versions of Remind. - Yom HaShoah is moved to Thursday if it would normally fall on a Friday. Thanks to Jonathan Kamens for pointing this out. * Wed Mar 10 2010 email@example.com - update to remind-3.1.8 - Add the $T, $Td, $Tm, $Tw, $Ty, $U, $Ud, $Um, $Uw, $Uy special variables to make reminder files less wordy. See man page for details. - Ignore msgprefix() and msgsuffix() on RUN-type reminders. - Adjust Remind and Rem2PS so that SHADE specials don't obliterate earlier MOON specials. - Fix bug in SCHED calculations if Remind is started in the middle of a SCHED interval. * Fri Jan 22 2010 email@example.com - initial package for Contrib, based on obs://home:code933k/remind
