The site selected for the 1960 Olympic Games was a strategic location along the ancient Via Flaminia as it intersected the curve of the Tiber a couple of kilometers from northern gate of the city. This area along the flood plain of the Tiber had long been used as a site for sporting events. Previously it had been the Piazza dīArmi for horse events and there was a hippodrome at the base of the hill below Villa Gloria. There was a national stadium here in 1911 and the site was also used for tennis and became the soccer field for the Lazio team. In the 1931 and 1950 Il Piano regolatore this area was designated as a public park and as a district of palazzine apartment buildings. This was an obvious effort to preserve the open, landscaped quality of the site. During this period the area became a zone of scattered buildings and open spaces and it was selected as the site for the Olympic Village for the 1960 Olympic Games. The choice of this site for the 1960 Olypmpics was also desirable because of the easy access to Foro Italico across the river to the west where facilities built in the 1930's already existed including an Olympic stadium seating 100,000, the swimming and tennis stadiums and other facilities.
Planned Olympic facilities included 2 stadiums and housing for the athletes. One stadium was to be used for football (soccer), the Stadio Flaminio, 1957-59, and the other for indoor sports, the Palazzetto dello Sport, 1956-58. Pier Luigi Nervi designed both stadiums. The apartments were constructed by the housing authority, līIstituto per le Case degli Impiegati dello Stato (INCIS) to be used after the games as dwellings for 6500 people. The site for the housing was visible from the low hill of the Villa Gloria and was seen as part of the natural park-like landscape along the river. Part of the planning strategy was to provide better access out of the city to the north. There had always been a problem connecting to via Flaminia and Via Cassia--the old Roman roads leading north out of the city--with the old city center and the Parioli district to the east. To solve this problem a new elevated highway and bridge across the Tiber were constructed, the Corso di Francia and a monumental bridge, the Ponte Flamino. Organizationally, Corso di Francia splits the site in half, but because it is elevated on columns, the landscape continues beneath the road thus allowing at least some connection between the various parts of the complex, a move that reinforces the concept of a continuous park-like setting along the river.
The commission of the Olympic Village was to be a showcase project for Rome in the years following World War II. The team selected for its design included Vittorio Cafiero, Adalberto Libera, Luigi Moretti, Vicenzo Monaco and Amedeo Luccichenti who were probably the best young architects practicing in Rome at the time. In addition, two of Italy's premier engineers were selected to design the two stadiums for the site and the viaduct at the end of Corso di Francia, Pier Luigi Nervi and Ricardo Morandi. Moretti made a proposal for Foro Italico in 1936 that was never realized, but he was thus in a unique position to understand the planning implications of the new project on the opposite side of the Tiber. Libera, Moretti, Monaco, and Luccichenti had established reputations from earlier housing designs and Calfiero was known for several competitions done in the 1930īs. Libera had designed the Tuscolano quarter for INA Casa, one of the first examples of Italian social housing after the war and thus brought the expertise of working with a large government housing agency to the team.
In addition to the two stadiums and 1500 or so dwellings, the Olympic Village is a more-or-less complete community including shopping, schools, and a church. Both stadia were positioned to the south leaving the remaining site for the residential community. Via Tiziano along the west edge of the site, parallel to Via Flaminia, is a major commercial street and is also the site of a neighborhood open-air market. The position of Corso di Francia through the middle of the site, even though this roadway is divided and elevated, had the effect of bisecting the site into two parcels, one aligned with Viale Tiziano on the west, the other, a more fragmented group, extending to the base of the Villa Gloria hill. This second group, unlike the western edge where buildings are all aligned north/south, consists of several groups of different building types. Elevating all the buildings on pilotis, the consistent use of yellow brick exteriors, and the use of similar window and blind details has the effect of unifying the whole site, even though there are 10 different building types here and several sub-groups. A double east/west boulevard bisects the site as a landscaped open zone that passes beneath Corso di Francia. This too adds to the perception of several smaller, differentiated groups of buildings. Along the west, there are three parallel zones of buildings, graduating from a row of 3-story, free-standing palazzine that front an open landscaped zone along Viale Tiziano, then two long north/south 6-story courtyard slabs and finally, a zone of paired, curving 5 story slabs that front a narrow street but face outward to open space on either side. The groups west of Corso di Francia are less unified lending an exhibition-like quality to the overall siting. Several of the curving slabs define an oblong arcaded piazza that is lined with shops. A large 4-story courtyard block is sited as an independent element at the south end of the site. A type of additive, 3-story cruciform building is used to form clustered but irregular groups along the meandering eastern boundary of the site. All together, there are 5 different point-access building types, all raised on pilotis, ranging in height from 3 to 6 floors and containing 10 different types of 2 and 4 bedroom flats.
Villaggio Olimpico is an example of a housing exhibition displaying built examples of various building and apartment prototypes. Enough of each of the 5 building prototypes has been built that some judgement can be made about their potential for application in a different situation. While there are many common characteristics--the pilotis, the use of a point-access typology, the brick, the window and blind details and the apartment types--there are also different site situations, varying heights, and other unique features that require some explanation.
Type A, 4 and 5 story point-access slabs: These are the dominant building type and come in both straight and curvingzeilenbau types, usually arranged with the long axis north/south. There are several different groups of these including the set defining the central piazza area. This type is organized with two, 2 bedroom dwellings per stair and present flush closed facades to the street and continuous balconies on the opposite side usually facing a larger open space between buildings. Like most zeilenbau types, the end facades are undeveloped, however, the curved facades and varied space between blocks are a creative solution to the repetitive monotony of typical zeilenbau slabs. Perhaps the most successful aspect of the curving blocks is around the piazza which, although lacking enough commercial activity to truly maintain a community ambiance, is a well defined, public space.
Type B, 6 story, double slab: A pair of these was built along the western side of Corso di Francia as a type of experimental prototype. These are organized as two parallel zones of flats, one facing each side of the building, organized around long central courtyards that are divided by the stair and elevator blocks. Essentially, two of the "A" slabs have been narrowed, placed back to back along the sides of an interior court so that vertical circulation can be shared and therefore economized. The taller facades continue the flush detailing of the other buildings, but without the plastic development of the balconies. The end elevations of these two are problematic and the interior courtyards lacking in spatial quality and privacy. There are some shops in the base of these buildings.
Type C, 5-story courtyard block: Only one example of these was planned, at the south end of the complex on an open site. This seems to be a version of the point-access slab, now wrapped around a large landscaped garden. The balconies all face the courtyard creating a quite private realm. The block is sited as a nearly freestanding element so the outside surfaces also open to landscaped spaces. The literal application of the typical slab plan and the failure to design a corner apartment results in blank re-entry condition at the outside corners.
Type D, 3-floor urban villa type: The freestanding urban villa examples along the western side of the site are diminutive versions of stock palazzine types: 3 stories high, organized around a central circulation core, sited with ample space on all sides.
Type E, 3 floors, cruciform courtyard type: Similar in concept to Type D, this building too is organized symmetrically about a central circulation core. This type, however, is used for the larger 4 bedroom dwellings that are arranged in a cruciform organization about a central, skylighted atrium space. The stair stands as a freestanding element in the atrium, connecting with bridges to an entrance to each apartment. The end walls of each dwelling are left blank so they can be connected together forming a continuous matrix of cruciform elements defining small landscaped courts. This type is flexible in that legs of the cruciform can be left off to make adjustments to site conditions and other buildings. The lack of the balconies typical to the other building types is compensated for by the pleasant condition of the defined courtyard spaces and the fact that, unlike the zeilenbau type, there are windows in the end walls.
In spite of this diversity of building and apartment types, a few simple details and common materials are the source of overall consistency. Entrance to every building is made from glazed lobbies in the space of the pilotis. While it may seem that the left-over open area at the ground floor is wasted space, shade is equally as important as sun in the Roman climate and, the pilotis avoids the problem of ground floor apartments lacking privacy. Some parking is allowed in the pilotis space, however, most is provided in the space between buildings and a continuous zone of open space extends beneath and between each building. A continuous shopping arcade along the sides of the pizza is detailed as the remnant of the pilotis. In the cruciform courtyard buildings, dwellings share a common stair block in the central atrium of each building element.
The use of brick walls, elevated above the repetitive columns of the pilotis would seem to be a contradiction of the basic frame structure, however, the rhythm of the frame is expressed in the upper floors by the exposed horizontal edge of the slab, by narrow pilasters in the taller slabs, by a concrete cornice, and by the organization of the windows. The building surfaces are dense, closed, and flush along one side contrasting sharply with the opposite side where surface has given way to a deep facade which has narrow cantilevered balconies, recessed continuous windows, and a layered appearance; flush versus layered depth. The use of wood roll-down blinds, and the flush frame of the blind boxes detailed as deep lintels above the windows, the subtle recesses of the windows, the scoring of the brick surfaces that is created by the slightly recessed edge of the structural slab tend to exaggerate the flush nature of the closed yellow brick walls. On the balcony sides, more depth is expressed with the cantilevered balconies that even extend past the end of the building. Continuous zones of windows and blinds that vary in depth and the discontinuous nature of the balconies all add to the expression of striated layers of elements. Many of the original steel windows, blind boxes and frames, and the blinds themselves have been changed, some balconies glazed in, and the exposed concrete is deteriorating but still the overall composition and dense, flush, layered quality of the facades is still apparent.
Building autopsies seldom reveal exactly who did what on a large team project like this. The fact that most of these architects had experience designing small apartment buildings prior to 1960, would seem to indicate that any one of them was capable of this design. All of the buildings in the complex are point access types and it is tempting to see them all as the progeny of the palazzine legacy; little apartment palaces strung together to form larger buildings. Within this archetypal taxonomy, however, two of Morettiīs Roman buildings stand out as likely prototypes for at least the curving slabs of the Villaggio Olimpico; the Astrea apartments, 1947- 49 and the Il Girasole apartments, 1947-1950. The elevated facades of both buildings imply a pilotis condition and the detachment of the upper faÁade from the ground results in a definite levitated condition. The facades of both have a developed dialogue between a very flat, flush surface aligned with the street and another layered, cutaway condition implying depth and spatial striations. The inflected surfaces of the cantilevered planes of Astrea suggest a curving surface, one seen as counterpoint to the planer quality of the main surface. In both Astrea and Girasole, the faÁade surface is discontinuous but because the actual skin of the faÁade is allowed to extend past the ends of the building a few centimeters, an exaggerated horizontal planer quality results. This idea is more developed in Girasole where the tracks for the roller blinds for the windows actually extend past the end of the building. The use of alternating bands of windows and spandrels, the flush relationship of the roller blinds (which were originally wood), the coulisse condition of the faÁade, discontinuous and cutaway to reveal a glimpse of the space of the interior court yard beyond, and the shallow balconies revealed when the blind is open are all qualities that Girasole seems to share with the Olympic buildings. Thus, the street faÁade of Girasole can be seen as the precedent for both the closed planer facades and the balconied facades of the Olympic buildings. The open courtyard of Girasole and the linear quality of the apartments along each side suggest two parallel buildings straddling a long, narrow interior courtyard into which vertical circulation elements have been inserted. This is exactly the idea of the courtyard slabs along Viale Tiziano. Moretti, working with some of the same architects continued the development of the development of these ideas in a later līINCIS project on the southern outskirts of Rome, the Decima Quarter (1960-66) built along the train line to Ostia. The curving slabs, brick walls, and window and blind details were also used here in a larger, staged project that was opened in 1965.
Villaggio Olimpico is in remarkably good condition considering it is nearly 50 years old. The brick walls, unlike the stucco typically used in social housing has stood up remarkably well. The steel windows and especially the steel blind pockets and guides rusted badly and many have been replaced. There were also moisture/oxidizing problems with the steel in the exposed concrete in some places, and this seems to be a continual problem. This was a kind of failure typical to many modernist buildings that used steel windows. As the occupancy changed from rental to private ownership, individual owners had made modifications. Some changes were required to correct the problems with the windows, but some of the balconies have been glazed and, as different details and materials were used to fix or replace the windows and blinds, the overall consistency of the facades has been compromised to a certain degree. The pilotis and the continuous landscaped ground plane, that Ville Radieuse rubric of the modernist agenda works reasonably well here. While there is a lot of unused space beneath the buildings and common sense would suggest that there would be security issues, problems with car parking, graffiti and other evidence of vandalism, these areas seem safe and unabused. there is no graffiti, little parking and only the normal litter of all housing in Italy. There are no ground floor apartments here and entrance is easily made from the parking to the glazed entrance lobbies in the pilotis. The idea of elevating Corso di Francia and freeing up the ground plane makes sense from a traffic point of view and certainly would have blocked any east-west pedestrian movement across the site. But the space beneath the road is forbidding and unused. The community aspects of the complex, important especially in the transformation from temporary residences for visiting athletes, to families, work marginally at best, especially those located around the piazza; it is not the lively center of activity the designers obviously had in mind. Like many similar recent residential communities in Italy, there is little formal or functional connection with the surrounding community and they tend to exist spiritually and functionally as separate enclaves.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Taken To Hospital Unresponsive–Here's What We Know
Just days after having a nominee sworn into the highest court in the land, President Trump may get another chance. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 84-years-old, has been rushed to George Washington Hospital in what paramedics referred to as an "unresponsive" state.
According to Fox News, Ginsburg was in her home early Wednesday morning when she slipped into unconsciousness. Her bodyguard found her and called 911. The responding paramedics arrived in under 4 minutes and had her at the hospital within 10, but so far, reports are saying she has yet to be revived.
President Trump is gathering his notes and his short list of SCOTUS nominees and will be addressing the nation as soon as he has confirmation that Ginsburg will no longer be able to perform her duties. He told Bret Baier over the phone:
Call me insensitive or whatever you want but this country needs to have those benches full. If Ginsburg can't do her job, which quite frankly she hasn't in quite some time, I'll replace her. It doesn't sound to me like she's going to make it anyway, so we need to be prepared.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Scalia family, who had a very cordial relationship with Ginsburg. We'll keep you updated as this story develops.

No. 10 Men's Tennis Hosts Arizona, Arizona State
April 4, 2007
This Week
The No. 10 UCLA men's tennis team (13-3; 2-0 Pac-10) rounds out its four-match homestand this week, hosting the Arizona schools at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. Action begins this Friday when the Arizona Wildcats (5-12; 0-2 Pac-10) visit the LATC for a 1:30 p.m. match. UCLA, which posted a 7-0 victory over Arizona back on Mar. 16, leads the all-time series 59-0. The Bruins will be in action again on Saturday, hosting Arizona State (11-6; 2-0 Pac-10) at 1:00 p.m. UCLA also defeated ASU by a 7-0 score earlier in the season. Live stats for this weekend's matches can be accessed by clicking HERE. All regular-season matches at the LATC are free to the public.
Bruins Start Pac-10 Play 2-0
UCLA picked up a pair of wins in its first two Pac-10 counting matches of the season last week. The Bruins started off with a 6-1 decision against Oregon on Friday before following that up with another 6-1 win over No. 30 Washington on Saturday.
New Rankings Released
UCLA moved up a spot from No. 11 to No. 10 in this week's Fila/ITA Team Rankings. New individual rankings were also released for the first time in two weeks. Benjamin Kohlloeffel continues to be the Bruins' highest ranked singles player, checking in at No. 4 this week. Haythem Abid is ranked No. 38, followed by No. 53 Chris Surapol. Kohlloeffel and partner Philipp Gruendler are ranked No. 12 in doubles.
Undefeated at the Top
UCLA's No. 1 doubles team of Philipp Gruendler and Benjamin Kohlloeffel has been nothing short of spectacular this season, taking an 18-0 record into this weeks matches. Gruendler and Kohlloeffel, the reigning Pac-10 Doubles Team of the Year, also own a 15-0 record in dual-match play. They are 5-0 against ranked competition.
The 20-Win Mark
Benjamin Kohlloeffel and Haythem Abid are the only two Bruin players to reach the 20-win mark in singles play so far this season. Kohlloeffel enters this week with the best record on the team at 23-3 - a mark even more impressive when you consider that he faces the opponent's toughest competition each week. Abid is 20-4 overall and 12-2 at the No. 2 position. Other Bruin players who are on the verge of 20 wins are Chris Surapol (19-6) and Michael Look (18-6).
Mark the Calendar
UCLA's final match of the regular season against cross-town rival USC on Apr. 20 is shaping up to be one of the biggest local college tennis matches in recent memory. Both the Trojans (11-1) and Bruins could very likely enter that showdown undefeated in conference play, making that match the deciding factor in who takes home this year's Pac-10 crown. UCLA has tied for the last three conference titles and is looking for its fourth in a row.

via ZUNDE is opposed to another marriage of convenience with ZANU PF February 5, 2014 by Information and Publicity – ZUNDE
Zimbabweans United for Democracy (ZUNDE) is concerned about the announcements made by MDC-T President Morgan Tsvangirayi and his Secretary General Tendai Biti that their party is now in favour of re-joining ZPF in another GNU. It is difficult to understand the motivation behind such a decision other than that they are now missing the luxuries of office that they had got used to. We wonder what they wish to achieve which they could not do in the past 5 years when they had a bigger mandate of the electorate than they have now.
ZUNDE wonders how MDC-T is going to fight a system that they are part of. Both ZANU PF and MDC-T made us believe that the GNU was dysfunctional and Mugabe calls it an evil they will never be part of ever again. MDC-T told us that progress could not be made because ZANU PF was not interested in change and was insincere. What makes MDC believe that ZANU PF will change and be more sincere this time around?
At the moment, the MDC-T is trying very hard to disassociate itself from the current salaries scandal which dates back to the time of the GNU and yet they prefer to re-join the same partner which has produced such high level of corruption. It is difficult to understand what has become of the MDC-T. The only explanation is that they have been seriously compromised to the extent of falling in love with Zanu PF regardless of its iniquity. They seem to have completely run out of options. Now that Rugare Gumbo has categorically dismissed any prospect of yet another inclusive government, what next for MDC-T? ZUNDE has options and new ideas. That makes us different from other movements as time will tell.
ZUNDE believes in a coalition of pro-democracy movements to confront ZANU PF dictatorship that has destroyed our country. We are therefore calling on the MDC-T to reconsider their ill-conceived and poorly timed decision and partner ZUNDE and the people in their quest for true change and lasting freedom and democracy. If MDC-T is stranded, they must simply admit and look beyond themselves because if they have failed they must not assume that it is impossible to dislodge ZANU PF.
ZUNDE acknowledges that MDC-T has its own objectives and therefore has a right to re-join ZANU PF which they seem to have grown to love and respect. We have always questioned why the MDC-T would abandon the demand for real change and go for the cheap "zhing-zhong" democracy ZANU PF is offering. We have the greatest respect for genuine activists, war veterans, workers and members of the public who have been convinced that MDC-T was the only option available. Now it's not the case; there is ZUNDE to take us past ZANU PF. ZUNDE is the viable alternative that has the vision of how to dismantle the dictatorship.
ZUNDE is not just calling for a coalition with all pro-democracy political parties, but is also calling on all the people of Zimbabwe; individual activists, civic groups, workers, students, business people, religious groups and social movements to join us in a grand coalition to take positive action to reclaim our humanity, dignity and freedom. ZUNDE is driven by the long standing pan-African philosophy that we are our own liberators. Indeed, we are!
We cannot be free by admiring and joining the oppressor. We can only be free by rejecting undemocratic institutions like ZANU PF. Children of Zimbabwe, please reflect on this and make your decision before we are locked into yet another hopeless marriage of convenience, another GNU that will delay further our journey to real freedom. The time for modicum change is now behind us.

1. In my heart a song is rising,
Holy peace of twilight calm,
As the Sabbath breathes its blessing,
Vesper hour, of hallowed calm.
Thought of God among us fallen,
Kindled by His breath divine,
Is the wondrous pow'r uniting
Myriad hearts at vesper shrine.
2. Vesper hour, the soul at leisure,
Climbs a sacred Pisgah height,
Views the Promised Land before us
Arched by God's bright bow of light;
Earth and Heaven seem meeting, blending,
In this richly freighted hour,
Wondrous is the presence round us,
Thrilling with a mystic power.
3. Clouds of incense sweet ascending,
From heart altars to the Lord,
Prayers from loving, waiting servants,
One before the throne of God;
Added sweetness to the Sabbath,
Comes with vesper hallowed time,
Like clear bells in silver chorus
With their mellow distant chime.
4. Some glad day, 'neath flowery arches,
Of our heavenly Father's love,
Through the gates into the city
May we pass to joy above!
Here, we list the sweet-toned echo
In our Father's gracious Word;
There, we join the sounding anthem,
Alleluia! praise the Lord!

Around the time I was frantically crocheting my first blankets, I ran across this story. It's told many different ways (sometimes starfish, other times jellyfish) and with varying characters, but I think it captures the heart of every CFC volunteer.
The Star Thrower
One day a man was walking along a beach. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a young boy going back and forth between the surf's edge and the beach. Back and forth the boy went.
As the man approached, he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide. The man was struck by the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to die. As he approached, the boy continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them back into the sea. As he came up to the boy he said, "You must be crazy! There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The boy looked at the man. He then bent down and picked up one more starfish, and threw it back into the sea. He turned back to the man and said, "But it made a difference to that one."
Our blankets make great gifts!
This card is included with every blanket purchase. The recipient will know that as their own kitty is comfortable, 15-20 animal shelter pets will by comfortable too!
Remnants Reborn!
We call the blankets we sell on Amazon & Etsy "Remnants Reborn" because each blanket represents all that we hold dear:
- Each is hand-crocheted using the simplest of yarn. We believe comfort isn't complicated.
- Each uses the yarn we have leftover, after making our shelter blankets. We believe in never wasting what we're given.
- Each blends a wild array of colors and textures, much like the pets found in shelters. We believe mutts are the best "breed".
- Each is handcrafted with love, not perfection. We believe that machines strive for uniformity, we embrace creativity and variety!
- Each blanket is a one-of-a-kind creation, so no two are alike! We believe this about the pets we comfort too!
Check out all Linda's Remnants Reborn blankets on Amazon or Etsy and help us comfort homeless pets!

Dresscode. The word that clearly states what it means - to dress up as its definition command. When I was entering my present job, I had to commit to respect it. It is not so strict as in banks or law agencies, but I had to make big changes in my closet. No ripped or torn jeans, no t-shirts with prints or signs, no wild sneakers (Jeremy Scott would be discarded with his winged adidas sneakers).
So every opportunity when I'm out of the office forces me to put on something completely different. No basic t-shirt, coat or jacket. One of those warmer days that brought the beginning of this year, I couldn't resist to wear new bomber which enriched my rack thanks to sales. I love its color and the tartan pattern.
Under this I wear t-shirt with print of Mickey Mouse's hands joined in a heart shape (as we had that Valentine's Day). And the rest is something you know well, black skinny jeans and THOSE chelsea boots that I almost don't take off my feet. And I have to also bring up the fact that blogger must occasionally with skin on the market, so I stayed it for about 20 minutes before I completely froze. This just you don't think so..the sun hided very quickly and I prayed to not have my neck on fire next day.
What about you and the dresscode? Do you have to respect it or, if there is some at work (in future), would you keep your mouth or some little rebel would reveal in you?
T-shirt - Uniqlo
Watch - Komono
Jeans - Bershka
Socks - Topman

Fred Roberts spent the better part of 70 years healing girls and boys in Central New York. His friends estimate that he treated about 300,000 patients during his career as a pediatrician. His grown children say he could not go into any busy place without some adult recognizing him and saying:
"Dr. Roberts! I was one of your patients!"
He died Sunday. Dr. Robert Kanter, director of pediatric intensive care at Upstate Medical University, was among the many physicians who attended Wednesday's calling hours and funeral at Temple Adath Yesherun in DeWitt.
Kanter, with obvious reverence, said of his friend: "One of the greats."
Fred was known for his electric intelligence, his sense of history, his curiosity. He was also absolutely dedicated to Syracuse, which fits his pattern: Fred was a man of loyalty and ferocious passion. When he fell in love, it was for keeps.
The ultimate example is the way he felt about his wife.
Fred and Ann Roberts, both 93, were born within eight days of each other. They died five days apart. Their courtship began 75 years ago. They remained vibrant until the last months of their lives, when Ann's body finally began to give in to old age and Fred learned he had cancer that had spread beyond his prostate. This fall, their health failing, they settled in to die at home.
"It was a romance for the ages," said Doug Roberts, who — with brothers Frank, Steve and Lawrence — is one of four surviving children. Doug said his parents "met on a blind date when they both were 18 or something." The couple went dancing at the old Hotel Syracuse, where Fred kept stepping on Ann's toes.
He knew he didn't want this young woman to get away, so he refrained from calling her for a few weeks. Through sheer practice and tenacity, he'd become a high school tennis champion at Nottingham. Based on the same ethic, he signed up for some quick dancing lessons.
When Fred asked Ann to go out again, he was ready.
They were married before Fred left to serve as a doctor in World War II. He came home to build a legendary practice in Syracuse. Fred was old school. He revered his father, also a physician, and Fred saw himself as being on duty around the clock. His boys learned, if they wanted to spend time with their dad, that it might require going with him on house calls.
Ann accepted those long days. She took on the lion's share of raising the children. In all those years, Steve and Doug say they can't remember their parents exchanging a harsh word.
"My mother had a radiance that never left her," Steve said.
The family lived for years on Harrington Road. Fred and Ann allowed themselves to relax at a summer camp at Hatch Lake. In the 1970s, children grown, the couple moved downtown to the Presidential Plaza. Long before it was a trend, they walked to destinations in the city.
Always, if you turned a corner and you saw them, they'd be holding hands.
Over 75 years, they had their share of difficult times. Fred was not the kind of pediatrician who could separate himself from his work; if a small patient died, it would leave him sick with grief. An ultimate test came in 2011, when cancer claimed the couple's only daughter, Laura, a retired French teacher in Canada.
"It doesn't matter how old you are, you take it hard when you lose a child," Steve said. "I don't think either of them ever fully recovered from it."
Still, the couple seemed almost indestructible right into this last year. Fred learned about his cancer only months ago, one week after he gave a major address to Upstate medical students and faculty. In illness, he and Ann went through a parallel decline, until they were both in vigil situations in their home.
At Wednesday's funeral, Doug's daughter, Becky Lazaroff, read an account of her grandparents' final days. On his deathbed, Fred told Doug he'd been thinking of how he felt on the day he married Ann, how Fred's heart "was going like a drum handle" as he walked down the aisle. While Fred and Ann had to rest in separate rooms because of their conditions, Becky said they managed to send one last message to each other:
"I love him and he knows that," Ann said of Fred.
After Ann's death on Dec. 11, her children wheeled her bed into Fred's room. He took his wife's hand and spoke to her for the last time: "Goodbye, Annie darling, I'll always love you."
Becky finished the eulogy. The temple was silent, except for a few listeners who wept out loud. A landmark couple was gone, but the "romance for the ages" had a lingering impact. Syracuse is still home to thousands of grown "children" who were once Fred's patients. Some even credit him with saving their lives, but Fred would have told you he never worked alone:
His practice was a partnership, until the day Ann died.

Community Service is Important
I know this is a legal blog or "blawg" as some like to say, but there are things as important to us as practicing law. One of those is performing community service. Early in our careers we were members of the Downtown Dallas Kiwanis Club. We met a lot of great people and raised many for some great causes.
Michelle served as President of the Junior League of Longview. Again, that is a great organization and helps a lot of people.
Recently, however, we became involved in our children's schools. First, Michelle as a PTA member and officer. I became involved when I agreed to serve as a member of a school board appointed committee to study the needs of the school district and make recommendations for a potential bond. While serving on this committee, I came to realize the importance of being involved in my community. I have since become involved booster clubs, a PAC dedicated to excellence in the schools, and the school's Education Foundation. Some of my best friends have been made while working together to serve others.
Others have recognized the importance of being involved as a volunteer as follows:
No matter how big and powerful government gets, and the many services it provides, it can never take the place of volunteers.
Ronald Reagan
We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Living is the art of loving. Loving is the art of caring. Caring is the art of sharing. Sharing is the art of living.
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
Booker T. Washington
This is not an advertisement for any particular service organization or need. There are many opportunities to serve, from church to service organizations, school foundations and booster clubs. The important thing is to find your niche and get involved. The personal rewards from helping others are endless.

Submit your skincare questions to Dr. Agnes, CEO of Herborium and natural medicine expert
"What seemed impossible, eliminate all these pimples and minimize my pores, has finally achieved through this product, in just one week." - Amanda
THANK YOUUU acnease !! I had hormonal acne, acnease calmed the flare-ups and my pimples disappear day by day, my scars also faded. You have to be assiduous and the magic works! Believe me, it's magic, I start my second month of treatment to get rid of this acne that no treatment knew how to fight it definitively! My skin is more beautiful and radiant! Thanks again acnease!
I tried a lot of different treatments to get rid of the acne that I had, but it is with AcnEase that I got it done. I recommend this product with my eyes closed.. In addition to working like nothing else this product which is also natural which is very important for me.
Hello, It is now a little more than 2 weeks that I take the treatment for severe acne and I already see noticeable improvements on my face. Indeed I have fewer pimples and my skin is much less blistered. I highly recommend this treatment.
I have chronic hormonal acne. Before finding AcnEase, I used all sorts of products, from antibiotics to retinoids ... nothing helped ... and after cysts and large pimples, acne marks and even acne scars. I tried some creams and they actually made my skin worse! Then I stopped. I started using AcnEase 6 months ago and it was a miracle. My acne disappeared in 3 months, my skin became healthier and more beautiful, but some scars from the past were still there. And Dr. Agnes recommended adding Rejuvel 3D to my routine. In 6 weeks, my skin became smoother and the marks and scars became less visible. Also, some of my small lines were decreased as well! I am 36 years old! It is a deadly combination ... thanks you Dr. Agnes!
"I really recommend this treatment! For me it was a real miracle. Since the age of 13, I've been prone to acne. As a teenager, I tested many medications. Today, I am 23 years old and being a woman with acne has ruined my life! I refused to go on Roaccutane. I decided to try AcnEase, thinking I have nothing to lose. I was skeptical at first. I didn't really believe in it, but I started the treatment anyway. I'm on my 3rd month of treatment and I have practically no more acne. There are some scars and skin irregularities but I intend to continue the treatment long term."
- Philippine
I have been an AcnEase user for several years now. Since my teens I have tried every topical acne treatment from benzoyl peroxide to pumpkin acid peels. I spent 15 years as a model and actress and learned every trick in the book for covering up my skin eruptions with makeup but there were times that the bumps and redness were such a distraction that it took a lot of effort from the make-up artists and photographers' lighting to compensate for the issue. In my thirties I even resorted to a series of extremely painful photo facials with the promise that they would stop my acne and get rid of the scarring. Needless to say nothing has worked except being on birth control pills but birth control pills reeked havoc on my body. I went through volatile mood swings including depression, weight gain, and hypoglycemia from not eating because I had pseudo-morning sickness often, two small cysts in my breast and a uterine fibroid. After getting off the pill, the cysts went away and the fibroid has shrunk. I never 'adjusted' to the chemical hormones that altered my natural cycle.
I experimented over the years and would go off the pill. My physical and emotional health would even out but the acne would return on my face chest and back. I decided I would rather find the natural remedy for the acne than return to something that I knew was unhealthy for me on every level. All of the alternative heath methods, including an organic diet and several different herbs and tinctures to deal with hormone imbalance, digestion issues, liver detoxing, (YOU NAME IT) would give some relief but never the full results that I desperately wanted. AND it was an expensive and time-consuming effort! I knew there HAD to be someone out there who had found the right combination and thanks to hours and hours on the internet, I found AcnEase years ago when it was still new to the market!
Here is the personal part of why AcnEase is so special for me. I've spent the last 15 years of my life taking care of everyone else around me including my mother who died from complications from Parkinson's Disease. My mother had several other ailments and diseases throughout her life. Watching her suffer through the pharmaceutical treatments with all of the side affects was the catalyst for me to do things differently. I made a conscious choice to find natural therapies that are not only good for me but for life on the planet. Mother nature gives us these gifts and AcnEase is the only product I have found that not only delivers results but also allows me to honor my personal code of ethics.
AcnEase has become one of the ways I take care of myself. The last few years have been filled with many personal losses and tragedies. Ironically, AcnEase has made a huge difference in how I have seen my health through these life lessons. When my skin is flaring up, I know that energetically things are out of balance. It's more than a good diet and plenty of sleep although those two are the best places to start. Sometimes life is hard and we need more help. AcnEase does more than clear my skin.....I truly feel better not just because I look better. When my skin is broken out, I feel like my body is not processing the stresses of life very well and it really shows on my face. Even with the challenges that life brings, when I'm on AcnEase and my skin is clear, I know that I have the aid of mother nature and the science of AcnEase helping my physical body to detox and stay healthy during life's ups and downs.
I am so grateful for AcnEase. It makes a difference much deeper than the surface for people like me. I wished for twenty years to have clear, beautiful skin and LITERALLY AcnEase has been the answer to that prayer!
- Linda D.
Hi, my name is Ashley. I am 16 and I have used AcnEase for about 2-1/2 months with 8 pills a day. My acne is moderate. I noticed a difference in the first week taking it. I love that the pills are easy to swallow and there are no bad side effects. I would recommend these pills because they aren't harmful like other pills because they are natural. My forehead definitely cleared and I am satisfied.
I have suffered with acne for about 3 years. The hardest part about having acne is being judged because it has made me insecure. People who suffer with acne should try to not let others get to you because acne is only temporary and there is always a solution for everyone.
Hi There
I started to take AcnEase, and my skin started to clear up 2 weeks later. I had severe acne problems and have tried so many different expensive products and medication, but its proven that AcnEase was the best for my skin and I really enjoy having the skin I have now. I will highly recommend this product to all people who suffer skin problems like myself. It's worth every penny!
Million Thanks
Since my late teens, I have been getting periodic outbreaks around my mouth and on my chin. It seems to correspond pretty closely with my cycle. I will be relatively free of new pimples for the first half of my cycle. Then, as soon as I start the luteal phase, I suddenly get an explosion of small painful pimples that start off deep below the skin (I couldn't express them if I tried), then they come to a big head about 4-5 days later. My skin is very sensitive and prone to blemishes so even after the pimple goes away there is a blemish there for several weeks. I also get encapsulated black heads (not quite white heads but like blackheads with a layer covering them) around my mouth and at the center of my chin.
So far I have been using an OTC 2% salicylic face wash with either a 1% salicyclic or 10% benzoyl peroxide pimple cream with no success.
I used to use a prescription topical antibiotic cream (clindamycin?), which I recall worked for a while and stopped. I also try to keep my pillowcases washed frequently in case that is part of the problem. For the past year, I have been eating a mostly vegetarian, dairy-free diet. I also experience mood swings and bloating around the time that my skin breaks out.
I am now about 2.5 weeks into the regimen of taking 5 pills 3x's/day on an empty stomach. So far I have been able to stick to it without too much difficulty. My skin is still blemished but as you might be able to see on the picture, it is definitely improving, especially considering I am at the point in my cycle when I tend to break out the most. So far I have only had one large pimple with a few smaller pimples. The rest of the redness is from old blemishes that are fading.
Dear Dr. Agnes,
Thanks Again! Here is a photo of my face without make up. Ican really see a difference - my skin is breakout free! I'm just waiting for the old blemishes to fade now. So far I have been keeping up with the 5 pills 3x's/day on an empty stomach. Thanks you for your product!!
Well first I would like to say nice to meet you, and thank you for all your time. Attached below is my story/journey of acne and also my experience with acnease.
To say acne has ruined my life is an under statement!!! Every thing I have done and nothing ever seems to work, there simply is no other way to say it. It all started about 4 years ago in 7th grade I was 12 years old, and that is when my life changed forever, I got acne. At first it was only on my chin. I thought to myself this is not so bad I can live with this. As time went on it moved from my chin to my sides of my face and once again it was not that bad it really did not affect me. As I went into 8th grade it got worse it was now on my chin and cheeks. At this point it was bad, but I did not let it affect me. Everything was still the same. I still went out had fun did what I wanted too. The summer of 8th grade I tried something for the first time to help my face it was pro active. I have seen it on TV how this stuff was suppose to work, well it didn't just made my face red and dryL. My freshman year was hard; at this point it was bad they were the big boil ones on my cheeks and whiteheads on my chin and around my mouth. I was going to a doctor at this point as well. We tried everything creams, pads, pills, 50mg, 75mg, 100mg, 150mg nothing worked we did this for a whole year. When I say we had him on speed dial I'm not lying to you we were there at least once a month. At this point it started to affect me. I really did not want to do anything unless they were a close friend, I still talked to people in school but I really was not social. That summer sucked I did not want to do anything I stayed home for the whole summer. 10th grade was the worst of all, it was terrible. The start of it my doctor said that he could no longer help me, he did everything he could, he recommended a new one that had more powerful drugs. At this point my whole face was red, pimples every where. So we went to go see him and he said we could do Accutane, we would have to do it for six months maybe more and he said I have a 70 percent chance of acne free once I was off it with a pimple here or there, but I could live with that I thought. To make a long story short, about late April I could see a difference in my face I didn't get a pimple for about a week and the scars were going away. But mid June I would get two or three and they would stay for four days and then go away and another two or three would take their spot. Now that I have been on AcnEase I can say my face is better but I still get 1 — 3 a day weather they our small or big they are still there. Everyone keeps telling me how good my face is but I don't see it. Though no one ever said anything to me I knew what they were thinking, I stopped talking to all of my friends in school and all of my close ones too. They would call me up and ask if I wanted to do this or go here and I just said no, it was because of my face. I also stopped playing sports; football because of the helmet, basketball because of the sweat, and baseball because of the sun. My day was I woke up went to school and then came home. People would always ask me what is wrong in school, and my answer never changed it was always I'm not in a good mood. People have invited me to parties and I said no thanks. One of my good friends I used to have always was trying to get me to go out with one of her friends "she thinks you are cute" my response who's she looking at or I don't even like myself how am I suppose to like someone else. There were many days when I did not even want to be on this earth the only thing that kept me going was this would eventually go away, I hope. Which brings me to where I am now. I lost a lot of my friends some close ones too and I know things will never be the same again because I just turned my shoulder on everyone. I only have 5 friends left if that and they really don't talk to me anymore. There are periods when I stay in my room for days only coming out to go to the bathroom. I still don't feel like myself I think it is from all the pills I have been taking, I have not felt like myself in about two years nor have I been happy. Every time I get a pimple it's a lot on me, people say it only a pimple or you can't even tell but that's easier said than done. I don't think it's that much to ask, I can't wait until I don't get them anymore. I'm dreaming of the day when I don't have to get up and go look in the bathroom mirror to see how many I have and when I don't have to hide my face in school. I want to do so many thing that I don't want to now because of the one's on my face. I want to live again, I'm turning 17 in a couple of months and I just pray it leaves me for good. It been long and hard and in the end I say to myself why me?
My AcnEase experience
AcnEase does seem to be working. I'm not getting as many pimples but still getting them and when I do get them they don't stay as long. I hope this works and that one day I can tell other people about this when they ask me what I have done.

My father said to me once, "The Golden Years are not very golden."
He hates slowing down. He lost my mother, the love of his life — and then, thanks be to God, found another. His second wife does not replace my mother. She's a different person, and it's a different relationship, but he's found happiness again.

This week, many churches celebrated Trinity Sunday. We thought about the Christian understanding of one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What do we mean when we talk about one God in three Persons? An honest answer would have to be, "We're not quite sure, but we think it's important." The Trinity reminds us that God is mystery, God is relationship, and God is stability.

Gloria Hunniford's hand has been completely crushed by an angel.
Appearing on the 'Loose Women' panel today (20.04.15) with her hand in a cast, the 75-year-old TV presenter explained how a bronze angel statue she has in her house - which requires three men to lift - fell on her, as she tried to move it.
The weight of the ornament "completely crushed" the bone in her ring finger and the tendon is broken.
Speaking to her fellow panellists, Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan and Jane Moore, Gloria said: "It was stupidity on my part really. We have a couple of very tall angels. I love angels and this is the irony! They are made of bronze and it would take three men to lift one angel. It's really heavy and I stupidly thought I would waltz it across a couple of inches. A boy angel and a girl angel. It's the boy in this case that took me down ... It's one of those silly things. It's not like I was lifting them as I couldn't. I've moved them before. You have to take something good from something bad and had the angel (fallen) another way, I would have fallen back on my head and it would have crushed me right here (on my chest). So I'm lucky."
After getting injured, Gloria was taken to a plastic surgeon at East Grinstead Hospital, where she had a two-hour operation to repair her hand.
When she was asked by Jane how long her recovery would take, Gloria said: "Sadly four or five weeks ... I am right-handed as well. Would anyone like to help me dress and undress?"
Jane, 52, then suggested that Gloria should rename the statues 'Hell's Angels'.
Gloria replied: "I'll rename that one in particular!"

|One thing I will remember from 2013 is it's perfect summer (src).
Another Year has Passed By
It feels slightly unreal that an entire year has passed by since my previous race summary. The older I get the faster the time passes. Years turns into months, months to weeks, weeks to days, days to hours, hours to minutes and minutes to seconds. Thinking of this I always ask myself what I have achieved or done, during the last year. Often I realise that it's not that much. Which is strange, as when I look back I've always been quite busy. It is doing the same things over and over again that that makes time fly, and making time look like one grey mass looking back at it. That is why it is important for me having some new projects, doing some new things, and also revisiting activities and places I love.
A short list of highlights from this year:
2013 was the year I started, and ended, in the Land of the Rising Sun ^.
2013 was the year I started skiing again, and had the best winter in ages.
2013 was the year I had tibia stress fracture.
2013 was the year I made foreneNo, or the new version of runners.no ^.
2013 was the year with the best summer ^ in Norway since 1997 (as I remember).
2013 was the year I did the Prism Break Challenge.
2013 was the year I swallowed a toothpick.
2013 was the year I became the most hated Norwegian on a race track.
2013 was the year I earned money on something virtual, and paid off my mortgage ^.
2013 was the year I made something that at least I call a film.
2013 was the year I once again got myself a proper camera ^.
Top of Klevstul Chronicles
I've written quite a lot of posts on chronicles.no in 2013. 196 to be exact. The main reason for spending so much time on this is that I like to write, and keep record. I could of course have done this in a non public space. But I like the fact that other can gain some knowledge, get enjoyed or get provoked by what I write. I put more energy into something I know that other will read. I have written on the Internet for several years, but that is no guarantee for me continuing. Starting and stopping is my way. But I think I will continue in 2014 as well, at least for a while.
Below is a list of the most popular posts, written in 2013 (using Analytics ^, as Blogger's ^ own stat tool seems less reliable). It is very clear that one subject did cause a lot of attention.
01 : Råskinnet 2013 (running, race)
02 : Bitmessage crackdown? (tech)
03 : Brev til Norges friidrettsforbund (running, licence)
04 : Boycott Sentrumsløpet 2014 (running, licence)05 : Call for Boycott, Uncensored (running, licence)
06 : Forbundet (running, licence)
07 : Rottefella NTN Freeride review (skiing)
08 : Download video content from nrk.no (tech)
09 : DIY Japanese style table (crafting)
10 : Amazon Relational Database Service (tech)
In terms of running 2013 was the year I ran mainly uphill, and mainly in the forest. Much due to the fracture I got from running on hard surface, but also because I'm bored with the more traditional sessions. It is a year I will remember for a lot of very fun and varied training with Mr RG and Mr LG, next to the less varied 300m hill interval session on Mondays. The training gave good results (PB on SRM x 2, SRM x 3 a solid 10 km terrain race, and several other personal track records), compared with my expectations and specially since I have not done this few kilometres since I started running back in 2009.
| year | time | distance | elevation gain |
| 2010 | 181h 20m | 1758.15 km | 21166 m |
| 2011 | 216h 12m | 2188.91 km | 26789 m |
| 2012 | 328h 05m | 2596.80 km | 41368 m |
| 2013 | 207h 56m | 1652.93 km | 37624 m |
Disclaimer: I might run a few extra kilometres in 2013, if the weather is nice and I feel like it, on the last day of the year.
In 2013 I ran many races I had done before, and several races for the first time. Most has ended up on the list of memorable races.
The Most Memorable Races
And here they are, the races I remember the most.
SRM for being SRM, which is great.
Råskinnet for it's fun and race against Siri ^. Now, unfortunately I think more of it due to the man in charge ^.
Grefsenkollen Opp 2013 for it's ugly t-shirts (the race is fun though).
Salomon Trail Tour 5-2013 for running through human shit (not fun).
Myllavannet Rundt 2013 for it uniqueness.
St. Hansgaloppen 2013 for it's waffles and atmosphere.
Mont-Blanc Cross 2013 for being my longest race, ever.
Rødtangen Rundt 2013 for a perfect summer memory.
All island races (one, two, three), for being the best collection of races there is.
Mærraølen 2013 for ... (sorry, blackout, can't remember).
Gaupekollen opp 2013 for being satisfied.
Skjennungstua opp 2013 for being perfect in every way.
Furumomila 2013 for it's magic.
Vinterkarusellen #3 2013 for a great finish to a great season.
Below is a complete list of my 2013 races, excluding the 21 times I did Sognsvann Rundt Medsols ^.
Råskinnet 2013
Salomon Trail Tour 1-2013
Salomon Trail Tour 2-2013
Grefsenkollen Opp 2013
Mistbergløpet 2013
Menyløpet 2013
Salomon Trail Tour 5-2013
Myllavannet Rundt 2013
St. Hansgaloppen 2013
Mont-Blanc Cross 2013
Rødtangen Rundt 2013
Hovedøya Rundt 2013
Mærraølen 2013
Langøyene Rundt 2013
Gressholmen Rundt 2013
Sellanrå Opp 2013
Koboltgruvene opp 2013
Ole Einar Bjørndalens terrengløp 2013
Gaupekollen opp 2013
Eggekollen opp 2013
Oslos Bratteste 2013
Skjennungstua opp 2013
Furumomila 2013
Vinterkarusellen #1 2013
Vinterkarusellen #3 2013
When it comes to races I have only signed up for two next year. And those are not located in Norway. I won't do many races as a result of the fee on running that I think is negative (OK, stupid!), and worth protesting against. Too bad, but I'm sure I'll find something else to do.

Sartori's Raspberry Bellavitano
$2 off all month long!
From our cheese buyer Hannah:
"It's an impressive table cheese with its pink rind and sophisticated, creamy and sharp interior. It cubes well into a spring salad of arugula and walnuts for a sweet cheesy bite. It also works as a dessert cheese served with berries, chocolate and nuts. Better yet, the raspberrry ale used to craft this cheese has dyed its rind an Eastery pink, so it's perfect for the season."

Question: What's the only upside to 30 ROCK ending its Emmy award-winning run later this year following a 13-episode seventh season? Answer: The void left by the unfortunate demise of Tina Fey's celebrated laughter will be filled by none other than COMMUNITY. At least according to Greendale Human Being Yvette Nicole Brown, who just tweeted, "Guys, #Community officially has an air date: Thursday, February 7th at 8pm!"
Oh, and did we mention that the Peacock [Network] Shuffle does not end there? Following in Fox's footsteps, NBC is announcing a bevy of changes to their Winter/Spring 2013 lineup. See for yourself, after the jump.
In the dramatic department, DECEPTION (formerly INFAMOUS) will premiere on Monday January 7th at 10PM, replacing REVOLUTION which won't return to the schedule until Monday March 25th, while SMASH dances back onto the schedule on February 5 (feat. Jennifer Hudson), replacing the 13-episode fourth season of PARENTHOOD which will end its run in January. On the comedic front, Josh Gad's 1600 PENN will replace PARKS AND RECREATION starting Thursday January 10th at 9:30PM which shifts down to 8:30PM following COMMUNITY, giving UP ALL NIGHT time to retool for its multi-cam return in the spring. And finally, in the world of reality, THE VOICE kicks off its fourth cycle on March 25/26, THE BIGGEST LOSWER weighs in on January 6/7 (feat. the return of host Jillian Michaels), while CELEBRITY APPRENTICE and BETTY WHITE'S OFF THEIR ROCKERS return on March 3 and January 8th respectively.
Shows still waiting to hear where they fit on the schedule include HANNIBAL, DO NO HARM and SAVE ME. Also noticeably absent from NBC's 2013 plans our CHICAGO FIRE, GUYS WITH KIDS, WHITNEY and LAW & ORDER: SVU. More as the story develops…

Santonio Holmes comes with a monster price tag, and not just the $7.5 million the Jets are paying him this season.
Holmes is a blend of playmaker, problem child and enigma who sometimes makes you wonder whether the price is worth the payoff. The price comes in the form of comments like the ones Holmes made Thursday, when he pointed a finger at quarterback Geno Smith and the rest of the offense. The payoff comes in games like he played two weeks ago against the Bills, when he caught the game-winning touchdown.
But the instances of Holmes putting the Jets on his shoulders have been outnumbered by dustups with teammates or a poor choice of words to the media.
The Jets gave Holmes a five-year $45 million deal in the summer of 2011. Since then, he has played 24 games. In that time, he has gone over 100 yards receiving just twice, including the 154-yard performance against Buffalo. He has had more than six catches in a game just once, has not recorded more than one touchdown in any game and has a total of 10 scores.
On Thursday, Holmes took a dig at the Jets' offense and Smith, the rookie quarterback, in particular. Holmes was held to just one catch last week against the Titans, but, as usual, it wasn't his fault. It was the person throwing it to him or the fact he was double-covered, not his inability to get open.
"I played 49 plays and all I know is that I had one catch. That's all I can attest for," Holmes said. "It's the offense's job. I can't throw it to myself and catch it, otherwise I would."
He added he is often double-covered, and that takes him out of the play because the quarterback moves to the next receiver in his reads. Funny, you don't hear other No. 1 receivers, such as Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald, complaining about double-teams.
"It's just immaturity," one member of the Jets organization said about Holmes' recent comments.
At 29, Holmes should be beyond maturity problems. But he showed his maturity level again Friday morning when he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the way his comments had been reported.
"What a great morning 2 awake 2 hear the media frenzy about Holmes quitting on his team, and he sucks, and he always blaming someone else," he wrote.
He kept going: "For the record. This media stuff never distracts me, I hate that our #NyJets fans have to read this 'crap' when things aren't going good.''
He went on to retweet any fans that sided with him and blasted the media while ignoring the tweets that called him overrated.
Jets coach Rex Ryan has been around Holmes long enough now to be numb to his receiver's antics, which he excused Friday. Ryan has seen Holmes quit on his team in Miami in 2011, undermine quarterback Mark Sanchez and throw the offensive line under the bus for protection problems. This was barely a blip on the radar for the man who ensured Ryan would never name another captain again.
"It was an unusual comment," Ryan said. "He's not the only one that makes those. He certainly didn't mean it as a slight to Geno."
Jets guard Willie Colon has known Holmes since both were drafted by the Steelers in 2006, and saw Holmes' finest NFL moment when he was Super Bowl MVP for the Steelers in February 2009. Colon acknowledged Holmes is a different guy, but said what he does on the field makes everything else that comes with the Holmes package worth it.
"I don't mind a receiver who wants the ball in a big way, wants the ball in a crucial situation," Colon said. "Some guys don't want the ball. He takes that head on. I've always appreciated that about him. Everything else? Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad.
"He's a lot of things, but on game day, he's our Superman. It is what it is."
Superman won't play Monday night in Atlanta after injuring his hamstring. These likely are the final months of Holmes in a Jets uniform. The team will save $8.25 million against the salary cap in 2014 by releasing him after this season with two years left on his contract.
The bill on Holmes is almost paid for the Jets. In the end, you have to ask whether he has been worth it.

Webinar: 101: A Primer on Applying Behavioral Economics to Population Health Management
From October 30, 2014 12:00 pm until October 30, 2014 1:00 pm Save to calendar
Posted by PHA Webmaster
Categories: Webinars
View Recording
The presentation will focus on the growing use of incentives and behavioral economics in healthcare, and how their sophisticated utilization can encourage behavior change. It will demonstrate how specific but fundamental behavioral economic theories and principles can be applied in a streamlined, online approach. We will explore how the timing, type, frequency, and framing techniques of incentive design can impact behavior. Lastly, the presentation will discuss the growing influence that peer accountability and social media can play in encouraging behavior change.
Jordan Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder
Jordan Goldberg is the co-founder and CEO of stickK.com, a goal-setting website based on behavioral economics research conducted by co-founders and Yale economists Ian Ayres (author of 11 books including NYTimes bestseller Super Crunchers and Carrots and Sticks, Fall 2010) and Dean Karlan (President, Innovations for Poverty Action). The website allows the public to utilize incentives and accountability to encourage behavior change, primarily in the health and wellness space.
Jordan's experience places him at the forefront of applied behavioral economics harnessing social media trends, gaming, incentive design, and social/professional accountability to help individuals create lasting change. In December 2009, stickK began offering customized versions of its goal-setting platform to meet the specific needs of corporations including, but not limited to, employee wellness, innovative consumer engagement, energy, and financial goals.
Jordan has been frequently interviewed for print, television and on-line media, appearing on NBC's TODAY Show and CBS News Sunday Morning, as well as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Economist. He has also been a featured speaker at numerous professional events, including the Penn- CMU Annual Symposium on Health and Behavioral Economics, the CDC's annual conference on Health Communication, Marketing, and Media, the Health Executive Leadership Network, the Harvard, Wharton and Yale Healthcare Business Conferences, and the annual conference for NARUC (National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners).
His prior experience includes founding another startup and consulting in real estate development and healthcare advocacy. A graduate of Yale University with a bachelor's degree in American Studies, Jordan is also a recipient of the Yale School of Management's Silver Anniversary Scholarship and is a 2007 fellow at the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
Fear not, this is not an article about how to start saving money and budgeting in 2014. Those articles are important, but I can't write one right now. I have been, however, reading lots of articles about money management, and discussing it more often and candidly with my friends and loved ones.
Boring story short: I'm budgeting and saving money in a short-term savings account as well as a retirement account. Part of that means bringing my lunches to work, because it's actually ridiculous how much money it's going to save me each week. And I need ideas! I make this one amazing roasted garlic lentil soup (MAKE. IT.) and have been bringing that in a mason jar, but I can't eat it forever.
I want to know what you cook in big batches to save money. And how do you not get sick of eating it by week's end? Should I get a thermos?

Musicians Can Now Practice, Perform and Purchase Music on the Go with the New Avid Scorch Sheet Music App for iPad
Last Updated: June 10, 2011 4:09 pm GMT
(Burlington, Massachusetts--June 10, 2011) Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID), today announced the release of its first application for the Apple iPad mobile device—Avid Scorch®, available on the App Store. Customers can now practice, perform and purchase their favorite sheet music on the go with an application that transforms an iPad into an interactive score library, music stand and sheet music store.
Powered by Avid's market-leading Sibelius® music notation software engine, Avid Scorch is the first sheet music app to offer a rich, interactive experience that makes scores easy to learn and play. Scorch also offers unparalleled access to the most popular sheet music through an in-app store with more than 150,000 premium titles available from world-class publishers.
Musicians, music teachers and students will enjoy features in Scorch, including:
Interactive Learning and Performance
: Musicians can easily learn songs or adapt them to their instrument by transposing a score, changing instruments, or converting to and from guitar tab—then give a great performance using Music Stand mode, which offers a full display of the sheet music on the iPad. Users can also see the score played on the Keyboard display, hear music played back and speed it up or slow it down.
Portable, Expandable Music Collection
: Using the app, customers can purchase and download more than 150,000 scores available from Hal Leonard and Music Sales. The Scorch app also eliminates the need to carry folders full of paper and music books by making it easy to add Sibelius and Sibelius First scores to the iPad.
Sleek Interface
: It's easy to manipulate and play back scores with a simple touch-enabled interface. Music is easy to view, regardless of size, through impressive display clarity and functionality, including the ability to select from a variety of paper textures and font choices. Users can also take advantage of Music Stand mode to devote the entire display to the sheet music and turn pages quickly, allowing musicians to stay in the moment.
Interactive Learning and Performance

"We're focused on using our industry-leading technology in exciting new ways so musicians, teachers, students -- all creative people -- can achieve their artistic vision."
What Users are Saying
"Having access to all of my Sibelius files as well as being able to manipulate them on my iPad is simply fantastic. Who needs a laptop when Scorch's great sound set and playback capabilities have made my Sibelius library truly portable and useful on the go," said Doug LeBow, Producer, Composer, Arranger; Disney English
"I have found Scorch to be an excellent companion to Sibelius. With Scorch, I no longer have to worry about dragging out my laptop to view scores. I have even used Scorch while performing live with various ensembles. Who needs to drag out a pile of paper? I turn on my tablet and it's all there—no digging required," commented John Wales, Owner, Spotlight Music Inc.
"It is invaluable to me to be able to use Scorch to direct from the iPad in a club setting where there simply isn't enough space to have a conductor's music stand with 11x 17 scores. If a musician has a question about their part I can easily zoom into the Scorch file, find the specific passage and get them back on track in no time. Thank you Avid for making it possible to have my entire Sibelius score collection at my fingertips," said David O'Rourke, Jazz Guitarist, Arranger, Bandleader.
Pricing and Availability
The Avid Scorch app is available worldwide today from the App Store for a limited-time introductory price of $4.99. On July 31, 2011 the price will increase to $7.99. All prices listed are USD. For more information, please visit
