Small Donations Make a Big Difference
I'm sure that there have been times when you've wanted to help someone but thought that you just didn't have enough money to make a big difference in the cause you were concerned with. It's hard to think that a $5 check really helps anyone at all, but it does, and it will.
Recently, a new organization has come out of the woodworks made specifically to help people who are struggling in the recession. You can donate any amount of money, whether it's $1 or $1,000. This site helps people that are on the brink of losing their homes. Your payment may help them pay their power bill or their mortgage. Regardless of what your money goes towards, you're helping a family in need.
It's important to remember that the recession is not the only cause of suffering for some of the middle class community. If you think back on your life, I'm sure you will remember a time when money was tight. Maybe it was an unexpected illness in the family or a lay off at work. Maybe it was an unexpected death in the family or maybe you just simply didn't make enough money to pay the bills that month. Wouldn't it have been nice to know that there was an organization out there that would help you?
What's great about the Small Can Be Big Organization is that 100% of your proceeds go to families in need. Small Can Be Big takes no profit from your donations, so truly every dollar you donate, helps someone. You can also track where your money goes and what family you helped. You can check up on them later to see how they're doing. This is comforting when money is so tight.
With the current economic state, it's very easy to tell yourself that you don't want to donate to a charity because you'll never see the fruits of that donation, and your money may be tight as well. Small Can Be Big and other organizations like that, takes the worries of never seeing your money go to work, away.
I'm a huge believer in karma and I truly believe that what comes around will go back around. You never know when you will be in crisis and need a helping hand. So, if you have a dollar to spend, donate it to charity. You'll be so glad you did. Nothing is more fulfilling than knowing that you helped someone through a tough time. Honestly, it doesn't matter what charity you choose, find a cause you believe in, and do what you can to help it. If everyone in the world did this, it would be a much better place to live.
Remember, help your sister from another mister or your brother from another mother, you never know when your sisters and brothers will be there to help you.

HALIFAX, N.S. - The Halifax Oland Exports, who were the host team for the 2002 Royal Bank Cup, have gone the distance and captured the prestigious Royal Bank Cup.
The Oland Exports defeated the OCN Blizzard 3-1 on Sunday, May 12, in front of a boisterous crowd of 3,143 at the Halifax Forum.
Halifax gave up the game's first goal at the 8:04 mark of the first period, when Russell Spence beat Halifax goaltender Andrew Sim to give OCN a 1-0 lead.
The Blizzard would carry that lead into the second period, but Halifax tied things up early when Rob Dunphy put a puck past OCN goaltender Marc-André Leclerc just under two minutes into the middle frame. The game remained tied until the 12:13 mark of the third period, when B.J. Brown lifted a shot over Leclerc's left shoulder, giving the Exports the lead. Despite numerous chances late in the game, OCN could not beat Sim and Francis Cloutier put the game on ice with an empty net goal with 30 seconds to go.
Halifax becomes the first Atlantic team to win the National Junior "A" Hockey Championship since 1997 when the Summerside Western Capitals were crowned champions, also on home soil. The Oland Exports and the Western Capitals are the only two Atlantic teams to ever win the Royal Bank / Centennial Cup, dating back to the Cup's inception in 1971.

New book announcement: William A. Dembski and Denyse O'Leary slam "Christian Darwinism" in forthcoming book
In Christian Darwinism: Why Theistic Evolution Fails As Science and Theology (Broadman and Holman, November 2011), mathematician Dembski and journalist O'Leary address a powerful new trend to accommodate Christianity with atheist materialism, via acceptance of Darwinian ("survival of the fittest") evolution.
This trend includes "Evolution Sundays" at churches and endorsements by high administration officials like Francis Collins.
Dembski and O'Leary say it all just doesn't work. How can we accommodate self-sacrifice as the imitation of Christ with "altruism is just another way you spread your selfish genes!" How can we accommodate monogamy as the image of Christ and his church - for which he gave himself up - with "The human animal was never meant to be monogamous!"?
In the authors' view, no accommodation is possible. More to the point, accommodation is not even necessary. There are good reasons for doubting Darwin and good reasons for adopting other models for evolution - or for deciding that there is not enough evidence to make a decision.
Dembski and O'Leary insist that this conflict has nothing to do with the age of the Earth. Darwinism is, as they will show, the increasingly implausible creation story of atheism, which diverges at just about every point from the Christian worldview on which modern science was founded.
Yet Darwinism is publicly funded, and taught, in many jurisdictions, without any criticism permitted.
Reactions - not only praise but criticism - are expected and much appreciated! Regular updates will be provided at www.uncommondescent.com, so persons who wish to comment on the project can post there.

Weather Topic: What are Contrails?
Home - Education - Cloud Types - Contrails
Next Topic: Fog
A contrail is an artificial cloud, created by the passing of an aircraft.
Contrails form because water vapor in the exhaust of aircraft engines is suspended in the air under certain temperatures and humidity conditions. These contrails are called exhaust contrails.
Another type of contrail can form due to a temporary reduction in air pressure moving over the plane's surface, causing condensation. These are called aerodynamic contrails.
When you can see your breath on a cold day, it is also because of condensation. The reason contrails last longer than the condensation from your breath is because the water in contrails freezes into ice particles.

Next Topic: Hole Punch Clouds
A fractus cloud (scud) is a fragmented, tattered cloud which has likely been sheared off of another cloud. They are accessory clouds, meaning they develop from parent clouds, and are named in a way which describes the original cloud which contained them.
Fractus clouds which have originated from cumulus clouds are referred to as cumulus fractus, while fractus clouds which have originated from stratus clouds are referred to as stratus fractus. Under certain conditions a fractus cloud might merge with another cloud, or develop into a cumulus cloud, but usually a fractus cloud seen by itself will dissipate rapidly.
They are often observed on the leading and trailing edges of storm clouds, and are a display of wind activity.

Computer Science ColloquiumIm Rahmen des Informatik-Kolloquiums, das von den Instituten des Fachbereichs Informatik, der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Informatik (ÖGI), der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Datenverarbeitung (ADV) sowie der Österreichischen Computergesellschaft (OCG) abgehalten wird, spricht
Robert Elsässer
Universität Salzburgüber das Thema:
Randomized Algorithms for Information Dissemination and Renaming ProcessesZeit: Thu 21.5.2015, 17:15, 60 Minuten
Ort: S3-055 in Science Park 3
ZusammenfassungIn this talk, we consider information dissemination and renaming in large networks - two fundamental problems in parallel and distributed computing. In information dissemination, one or several messages in a network have to be distributed to all nodes of this network. In renaming, the goal is to assign from a certain so called name space of size m distinct names to n different processes, where m is at least n. We will present several randomized algorithms for these problems under different settings, and compare them to each other with respect to their strengths and weaknesses.

Mid April?
So in late March I cross a significant birthday. Family asked what I wanted to do and the thought of matching miles for age popped into my mind. Maybe a 3-4 day affair...
My trusty hiking partner has Spring Break starting April 14th. I think this is prior to black fly season but there will still be snow in the woods and of course a storm is not out of the question. Way to early to get a good feel for the weather.
We are comfortable and experienced camping in the teens and backpacking in the twenties-thirties.
Do you think this would be 'plan on Snowshoeing extensive parts of trail', 'bring snowshoes as a precaution' or 'skip through the woods unencumbered'.
Do you think creeks and streams will be passable? I am concerned about getting to them (ice around edges) and of course getting through / over them with the increase in melt? Great tip here recently about crossing same stream morning and afternoon is actually different since sun increases melt.
General wetness of trail this time of year? Tough to predict but I have to think if it is warm enough low lying areas would be rather wet?
Thinking of bear barrel whole way. Need it after Apr 1 in high peaks and more than once I have deployed a shoddy bear bag due to dark.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

From my notes in mid april for the last couple years...
2016---no snow, ice-out on lakes
2015---snow patches, still ice on lakes
2014---some clear patches mostly still snow, still ice
2013---no notes
2012--- no snow, ice-out

To answer your questions:
It sounds like you're considering the Cold River area. Honestly, if we do have another "normal" Winter (looks like the jury is still out on what kind of Winter it will be), 4 days may not be enough time to be able to get from Long Lake to Lake Placid (or vice-versa). If there's still substantial snow on the ground, it very likely won't be broken much more than a few miles from the trailhead. Crossing a single flooded stream can also easily become an ordeal that takes up several hours. You'll have the advantage of having longer days, but even this may not be enough to enable you to stick to an itinerary that gets you from Long Lake to Lake Placid in 4 days.
Another important consideration is that even if you are able to keep up a relatively quick pace, by choosing a point-to-point hike through a remote area, you're committing yourself to getting up and hiking a fair amount of mileage every day regardless of the conditions. Say you do end up having a storm with cold, steady rainfall come through; in order to stick to your itinerary, you'll have no choice but to hike through it. Spending the day just hanging out in camp won't be an option no matter how nasty things get.
Granted, much of what I've outlined above is admittedly sort of a "worst case scenario," and you certainly could have good conditions that lend themselves to a very nice hike. Regardless, the conditions are I describe are definitely things that you'd be wise to consider, and a trip like this will definitely demand a fair amount of preparation on your part at the very least. You could come out of the hike with good stories to tell about an epic experience, but personally, I suspect that you'd likely get a bit more satisfaction out of the more remote areas of the NPT if you chose to visit them during a season that was a bit more conducive to enjoyable hiking.

I took a look at photographs I've taken on April trips from past years. Based on what I saw, I'd say you've got about a 33% chance of encountering little (or no) snow, a 33% chance of encountering patchy snow that may be deep enough for snowshoes at times, and a 33% chance of encountering snow that requires the use of snowshoes most of the time (or at all times).
(The remaining 1% is the chance of encountering an actual snow storm that dumps a foot of wet, heavy snow during your hike.)
Would an alternative destination work for you? There's a bunch of nice trails in the Pennsylvania Wilds, and that area is pretty much guaranteed to be snow free at that time. The area has both linear and loop trails ranging in length from 25 to 120+ miles so there's definitely a ton of options that would enable you to pick something as easy or as hard as you want.
That might be a good time frame to visit the Monongahela in WV as well, since that area will be well out of winter. The Dolly Sods could definitely keep you occupied for 3-4 days. If you wanted a longer, more challenging itinerary, check out the Cranberry Wilderness.
Alternatively, if you were willing to drive a fair distance south, mid-April is just about the height of wildflower season in the southern Appalachians. Wildflowers in the northeast don't hold a candle to those of the mountains in NC/TN/GA. At times, you'll be hiking through areas where the forest floor is literally carpeted in thousands upon thousands of trilliums, trout lilies, and more.

If you are thinking about the Coldriver area, Go in from Cory's take the Calkins brook trail to The Npt. It will be dry an if you decide the streams are crossed by bridges. Easy hike. Once you hit the npt.
From there its up to you how far up the trail you want to go. It will be about six miles before the first stream crossing Seward brook . from there about three more before the next three. Then you should be at the junction of Ward brook . that will take you back to the trail head. That will be dry till you hit the Bb trail. Check your maps for more info.

I agree that coming from Corey's would make a trip to the Cold River area a bit more feasible/easier to undertake.

Personally, I'd think about going to Harriman St. Park. There are over 200 miles of trails, historic mines to see and shelters to stay in. Snow melts out by mid-March, if there is any left.
If you'd like to do parts of the NP, the southern section from Piseco to Northville should be fine. I've done the trail twice in the spring (leaving around May 1 from Lake Placid) and I've run into snow on the ground, ice jams that I had to crawl over and freezing rain storms. While none were life threatening, it does make wonder.

Very much appreciate the info. I might nibble on the southern section but will also seek alternate plans. The out of State hiking is attractive - ADK is 6 hours away so that is a big circle that will get us to PA or points south. And I have been eyeing Algonquin's backpacking trails north of the border - shorter loops and the faint possibility of hearing a wolf howl or two (and possibly faint).
Will set aside the time, prep the gear and come up with 2 or three options and than watch the weather.
Of course the peak list is not getting any shorter...

Have you done anything on the Finger Lakes/North Country Trail? I've had my eyes on the Allegany State Park/Tracy Ridge section for a while. You'd start in Allegany State Park, hike south across the border into Allegheny National Forest, and finish at Tracy Ridge. I've heard good things about the Tracy Ridge area especially. The distance would be about 30 miles. There's shelters to stay at in Allegany State Park, and backcountry campsites (and 2 walk in/boat in campgrounds) in the Tracy Ridge area.
EDIT: I checked the Nat Geo map and the distance on the NCT from the Red House Brook trailhead in ASP to the Sugar Bay Trailhead in ANF is 30.4 miles. You could easily extend this buy hiking further on the NCT, or by picking a longer route through the Tracy Ridge area.

We set up a hike once in either March or April - being just south of Albany we set it up for Fahnestock park (not quite as far south as Harriman, but not too far away).
The day before, we got one of those coastal storms, and wound up with nothing locally but a few inches of snow (which then the next day turned into a rain storm, creating slush) down there - so much for going south for better weather!

DCoop Sourcebook - Coalesse SW-1 Seating
I'll tell, I think everyone must think I'm the weird one at tradeshows.
I'm the one on the floor, on my back taking random pictures.
I'm the one feverishly typing on Twitter to get something out there before even the magazines do it.
I'm the one who did five tradeshows in two months and still managed to keep up a practice.
Yeah. I'm apparently nuts.
And of course, some of you have managed to catch me in these various moments. There was a bathtub at a showroom in at KBIS. Then there was me on the floor of the 18th floor of the Merchandise Mart. And then there was me sitting on a toilet in the Kohler showroom. And saddly, there IS photographic evidence of these moments.
ANYWAY. Where was I going? That's right.... seating.
Let's be honest, if there is one thing I like just as much as super-awesomesauce lighting, it's amazeballs seating. Neocon this year had absolutely no shortage of great lounge pieces. The manufacturers are really stepping up their game and throwing us designers something we can really sink our teeth into.
Coalesse is one of those high-stepping vendors that managed to make one heck of an impression on me this year. I was on the floor, under the tables, moving chairs so I could get a good photo. And of course, trying not to drool on damn near everything in their showroom. If you don't know, Coalesse is a Steelcase company. That's right. One of the Big Three has come up with something that doesn't look like it came from the Big Three. Actually they came up with a number of items but for the sake of this post, I'm going to go gaga over the SW-1 Seating line.
Designed by Scott Wilson and the industrial design firm, MINIMAL, the Metro line was meant to scare the shit out of conventional conference seating. It's a throwback to 1974 but without the bellbottoms and acid. It makes task chairs piddle on the floor. Or bow in silence.
Told ya I was going to go gaga. My favorite part? It isn't just for the conference room. They've got a high back version for executive purposes (think Eames Executive Lounge), a lounge version with no castors, and even one with a tablet arm.
I know.
Pinch me.
I must be dreaming.
Designer Tip: Think commercial (ie: office) furnishings are meant to stay in the office? Think again. Current trends are bringing the home to the office. Furniture design is keeping pace with the trends and let's just say, the office of yore is not the office of now. Even better? Because commercial pieces are made to withstand the harsh commercial environment you can rest assured that it will withstand the demands of the working household.

Daniggelis, Rhodes Score Five Goals Each
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – At two different points in the first half Wednesday afternoon at Reese Stadium, the Yale women's lacrosse team trailed BU by eight goals. The game was not decided, however, until the final possession. A furious comeback by the Bulldogs -- including a 6-0 run midway through the second half -- eventually got Yale within one of the Terriers. But BU got the game's final draw control, and eventually ran out the clock for a 16-15 win. Freshman midfielder Nicole Daniggelis and senior attacker Devon Rhodes scored five goals each for Yale, improving their season goal totals to 36 each.
BU (6-8, 2-4 America East) jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the first 18 minutes, prompting Yale to send sophomore goalkeeper Erin Mullins in for her first career minutes in relief of junior Erin McMullan.
The Bulldogs' first two goals came from sophomore midfielder Erin Magnuson and Daniggelis; Rhodes pulled Yale within 10-3 by scoring on a free position shortly after Mullins entered the game.
After BU got its lead back to eight, 11-3 with 10:06 remaining in the first, the Bulldogs started chipping away by scoring three of the next four goals heading into halftime. Rhodes scored a pair, including one assisted by junior attacker Jen DeVito, and Magnuson added one 39 seconds before the break.
BU attacker Danielle Etrasco, who scored six goals on the day to improve her season goal total to 54, scored the first two goals of the second half to get the Terriers' lead up to 14-6. But Rhodes then sparked the six-goal run for the Bulldogs, starting out by driving out wide from behind the cage and firing in a left-handed shot with 18:34 to play.
After junior defender Adrienne Tarver scooped up the ground ball following a BU turnover in the Yale zone, Daniggelis curled around from behind the cage and scored despite being fouled.
DeVito then got in on the scoring -- right after having a goal taken away because of a BU foul earlier in the play. DeVito found the lower right corner on the ensuing free position shot, prompting the Terriers to send Kim Elsworth in to play goal in relief of starter Christina Sheridan (Sheridan would come back in seven minutes later).
With the crowd starting to get into the game, Rhodes came away with the next draw control, and the Bulldogs took advantage of it before the Terrier defense could settle in. Magnuson hit sophomore attacker Kerri Fleishhacker in stride for a goal just 22 seconds after DeVito's tally.
That prompted a BU timeout, but after DeVito sent a shot wide Magnuson fought for a loose ball to help the Bulldogs remain on attack. Daniggelis drove in and drew a free position attempt, which she used to rifle a shot just past Elsworth's crosse.
BU got the next draw control, but midfielder Louisa Del Rio's free position shot was blocked and Tarver came away with the ball. Daniggelis then backed her defender down at the other end of the field before spinning and firing in her third goal in a span of less than four minutes, making the score 14-12 with 13:27 to play.
Mullins made a big save on Etrasco with seven minutes left, but the Terriers were able to score a pair of goals to go ahead 16-12 with 4:20 to play.
Still, the Bulldogs would not go down without a fight. Rhodes got the draw control after the final BU goal, then scored with 3:30 to play for the 100th goal of her career. Daniggelis got the next draw control -- one of six on the day for her -- and scored again with 2:51 left. Her 36 goals are the most by a Yale freshman since Lauren Taylor '08 scored 47 in 2005.
After Tarver got the next draw, Rhodes set up Daniggelis for a goal that made it 16-15 BU with 1:58 left. But Etrasco got the final draw control -- one of six on the day for her -- and spent the final seconds of the game playing keep away to run out the clock.
Mullins finished with four saves in her 42 minutes of work; Sheridan made seven for BU in just under 53 minutes. Elsworth and McMullan had one save each.
Tarver led all players with four ground balls, while sophomore midfielder Christina Doherty added four draw controls and three caused turnovers. The Bulldogs limited BU to a 4-for-9 performance on clears in the second half, following a 7-for-7 performance in the first half.
Yale (7-7, 1-5 Ivy League) finishes the season on Saturday at Brown.

|MLBPA/MLB News Release
NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Tony Clark announced today that Kevin McGuiness will join the MLBPA as chief operating officer.
McGuiness, a lawyer and 30-year veteran of the Washington, D.C., political and lobbying scene, joins the MLBPA after spending the past 10 years as the president of the McGuiness Group, a lobbying and representation firm created in 2004. At the time of his hiring by the MLBPA, McGuiness was representing the players' unions in MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and MLS. Prior to forming the McGuiness Group, McGuiness spent 13 years as a founding partner in the D.C.-based law firm McGuiness & Holch, which specialized in legislative and regulatory matters.
"We're extremely happy to have someone with Kevin's experience join our staff," said Clark. "Kevin's legal, representational and administrative background, as well as his long-standing history working on behalf of our membership, will serve the players well moving forward."
"I'm excited about being part of the team Tony is assembling and look forward to helping sustain the union's reputation as the strongest labor organization in professional sports, if not the country," McGuiness said.
McGuiness, as COO, becomes the union's senior manager responsible for overseeing the MLBPA's day-to-day operations, including its organizational infrastructure, human resources, staffing and budgeting.
McGuiness received his B.A. from the University of California at Irvine and his J.D. from George Washington University Law School. He and his wife, Katherine, have three children.

Upcoming Events
National Dialogue
In an April 20 radio address (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/
04/20070420-2.html), President Bush called on the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Justice to lead a national dialogue with educators, mental health experts, and various state and local officials on "steps" the federal government can take to help keep students safe and prevent future tragedies. Therefore, while in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the National Charter Schools Conference (4/27) and Los Angeles, California, for the Education Writers Association meeting (5/3), Secretary Spellings also conducted roundtables on safety. Further, Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free Schools Deborah Price and Acting Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education Jim Manning have been traveling with Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, respectively, to key states to learn from their own experiences. By the end of this month, Spellings, Leavitt, and Gonzales will report to the President on what they have heard. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/dialogue.html.
Also, in an effort to expand the discussion, Secretary Spellings is seeking public comment online at http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/dialogue-form.html. Specifically, she has three questions:
- In what ways can technology help to communicate with students and school professionalsbefore, during, and after a crisis situation?
- How can the many institutions involved in protecting studentsschools, colleges, law enforcement agencies, the medical and mental health community, and othersshare critical information in a way that protects individuals' privacy but does not sacrifice public safety?
- What are the most effective programs and best practices for preventing school violence and managing crises at U.S. schools and college campuses?
Your comments on these items or suggestions sent to firstname.lastname@example.com will assist the Secretary in developing recommendations to be incorporated into the President's report.
NCLB Update
In an April 23 letter to Chief State School Officers (http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/secletter/070423.html), Secretary Spellings provided an update on the Department's efforts to ease implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act through pilot programs (growth model, choice/SES, etc.), new grant competitions (Teacher Incentive Fund, AC/SMART grants, etc.), and regulatory flexibility (LEP, special education, etc.). Knowledge acquired from these efforts was used to inform the agency's comprehensive reauthorization proposal.
Teacher Quality
The next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (May 15, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) will focus on how the U.S. can prepare all teachers to lead students toward success by exploring why effective teaching is at the core of America's long-term economic competitiveness; highlighting alternative strategies to recruit, train, and reward effective teachers; in light of the Virginia Tech attacks, offering tips and resources for teachers and parents on how to protect children from emergencies and counsel them in trauma; and showcasing award-winning teachers. Study after study offers compelling evidence that confirms what we have always known: teachers are the single most important factor in raising student achievement. Studies also show that verbal ability and content knowledge are the most imperative attributes of highly qualified and effective teachers. Equipped with these skills, highly qualified teachers can maximize every child's potential to meet high academic standards. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/edtv/. (You can watch live and archived webcasts at http://www.connectlive.com/events/ednews/.)
Task Force: Student Loans
Responding to public concerns about student loan lender practices, Secretary Spellings recently announced the formation of an internal Task Force on Student Loans. Consisting of members from the Department's Offices of Postsecondary Education, Federal Student Aid, and General Counsel, with representatives from the Office of the Inspector General serving in an advisory role, the group will consider such issues as preferred lender lists, prohibited inducements, and a National Student Loan Data System. It will build off the progress of the negotiated rulemaking committee on student loans, which met four times from December 2006 to April 2007 but was unable to reach consensus. The task force will report to the Secretary by May 31. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2007/04/04242007.html.
Also: The Department has outlined new procedures for guaranty agencies to restore their access to the National Student Loan Data System. Access to the system was suspended April 17 amid concerns of privacy violations as well as data mining. All guaranty agencies must submit a list of users and certify these personnel will use the system only for approved purposes. In addition, the Department has enhanced the log-on process, requiring users to correctly enter a series of letters and numbers displayed in a text box to gain access. Guaranty agencies require access to the system to perform functions critical to the delivery of federal aid.
Recognition Programs
Last week, in a South Lawn ceremony with President Bush, First Lady Laura Bush, and Secretary Spellings, music teacher Andrea Peterson was named the 2007 National Teacher of the Year. Peterson, who comes from a family of educators (including her father, mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law) teaches at Monte Cristo Elementary School in Granite Falls, Washington. She is the 57th recipient of the notable award and only the second music instructor to be so honored. The National Teacher of the Year program, sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the ING Foundation, designates an outstanding representative from among 56 State Teachers of the Year (representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, several outlying territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity). The winner is selected by a panel of the 15 leading national education organizations. For more information, please go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/
Then, on May 2, Secretary Spellings announced the selection of 2007 Presidential Scholars. The Presidential Scholars program was established by Executive Order in 1964 to honor outstanding academic achievement. It was expanded in 1979 to identify students who demonstrate talent in the creative, visual, and performing arts. Each year, 141 students are named, including at least one young man and woman from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. families living abroad. Another 15 students are chosen at-large, and 20 students are scholars in the arts. Over 2,700 candidates qualified on the basis of significant ACT or SAT scores or nomination through the nationwide Arts Recognition and Talent Search. The Commission on Presidential Scholars, appointed by the President, chooses finalists. Scholars will be honored June 23-27 in Washington, D.C. Each scholar will invite the teacher who had the greatest impact on his or her success to participate in the ceremony and receive a certificate of appreciation. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/psp/awards.html.
The Big Read
The National Endowment for the Arts' The Big Read seeks to provide citizens with the chance to read and discuss a single book within their communities. Communities are encouraged to apply for one of approximately 400 grants that will be awarded in 2008; 200 will be awarded for programming occurring between January and June (application deadline: July 31, 2007), and 200 more will be awarded for programming occurring between September and December. In addition to a grant, communities will receive a library of resources, including reader's and teacher's guides and audio guides with commentary from artists, educators, and public figures. Communities will also get publicity materials. For 2008, communities will choose from 12 prominent classics used in 2007 and nine new books: A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest Gaines; Washington Square by Henry James; A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin; Call of the Wild by Jack London; The Shawl by Cynthia Ozick; Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson; The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy (linked with Big Read to Russia); The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain; and Old School by Tobias Wolff. For more information, please go to http://www.neabigread.org/.
Quote to Note
"I ask every member of the Class of 2007 to...step forward to serve a cause larger than yourself. Volunteer in a local soup kitchen or shelter. Take time to check in on an elderly neighbor. Be a mentor to a child in need. Use the skills you have learned here to help build a better nation. Our armies of compassion need men and women like you. The great test of this generation will be how you answer the call to extend the promise of America and make our nation a more hopeful place for all. The character of the Class of 2007 gives me great faith in your success and confidence in the future of a nation that makes one people from out of many."
|President George W. Bush (4/28/07),
from his commencement address at Miami Dade College
Upcoming Events
Don't forget! This summer, the Department will convene 18 Teacher-to-Teacher regional workshops for teachers to learn from fellow educators who have had success raising student achievement. Registration is free, but participants are responsible for transportation and lodging. For more information, please go to http://www.t2tweb.us/Workshops/Schedule.asp.
Over the next two weeks, the Department will be exhibiting at the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Conference in Lake Buena Vista (FL) (May 9-12) and the Latin American Association's Latino Summit in Suwanee (GA) (May 10-12). If you are attending either of these events, please stop by the Department's booth.

Small cell cervical cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was diagnosed and treated for small cell cervical cancer. I have not found any info on this cancer is there another name for it? My doctor said it was rare in the cervix.
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Small cell cancer of the cervix is an unusual type of cancer that has a more aggressive behavior than the typical cancer of the cervix. The 'small cell? refers to the way the tumors look under the microscope (small, round, blue), which is very different from the way a typical cervical cancer cell looks microscopically. There is not much information specifically available outside of the medical literature on this diagnosis because of its rarity. Many studies use the term "Extrapulmonary Small Cell Cancer" which refers to any diagnosis of the disease outside of the lung. Many studies pool the results of treatment from a variety of sites because the diagnosis is so rare outside of the lung. When this diagnosis it made, there is a dramatic impact on the treatment recommendations. Treatment, which depends on stage, may include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This tumor has a higher chance of spreading to distant areas of the body, so chemotherapy is usually included in the treatment plan.

Murphy is a bastard. Whoever he is, whatever he did, he sure messed it up for the rest of us.
It was a crap day today, lots of drizzle and a genuine bathtub full of filth had made it's way from the road to my bike and clothing. I was a mud-bath moving at 35 k/h.
About an hour from home my pump did a runner from my back pocket. I hit a bump and heard it bouncing down the road behind me. So a quick U-turn and I found that the nozzle had come apart and the spring and washer from the inside were missing. Oh crap.
This road, like the many I had previously travelled over, was of the filthy variety, thus my task in finding and rebuilding my pump was beyond simple. Fast forward ten minutes and not only had I exhausted every swear word I knew (multi-lingual too..) but magically I had found the pieces to my pump, I was away.
So you can imagine during my search I had it in the back of my mind that I could not possibly go without finding the pieces because I would surely puncture.
So I almost smirked with victory when only 5k down the road I heard that familiar hissing sound. My tire was deflated, but I was almost elated, take that Murphy you bastard, I found all the pieces of my pump, this puncture will not stop me!
So apart from getting more grease and grim all over my hands changing the tubes and cleaning off the tyres I waited triumphantly to pump that first breath of air into the new tube. ...
The pump was not creating a seal. Oh crap.
I must have missed a piece on the roadside. Oh crap.
To re-use a great phrase I currently found myself sans paddle and slowly drifting up shit creek. That prick Murphy had me right where he wanted me.
After the second exhaustion of my multi-lingual swear words I had the realisation that I am in fact a complete idiot. The little 'thingamajig' from the inside of the pump was in the wrong way round.
Five minutes later I was on my way.
Lessons learned: Murhpy is a bastard and I am an idiot! Hardly ground breaking I guess.
Over the last week and a half I have had some monster races. 1.2 and 1.1 UCI races in Belgium, it just doesn't get any bigger, any harder or any scarier.
Unfortunately I have been nothing more than pack fodder, never lasting more than half the race. I have been having some real problems with my back and foot stemming from my crash last year. I seemed to have held together until Qinghai lake but now the wheels have completely fallen off the wagon. As a result I am bypassing Tour of China so I can get home and back into some of the rehab exercises and gym work that I obviously did not do enough of previously. Also I have these piddly little things called exams that I should probably (start) study(ing) for. So an extra fortnight of study whilst back home should go a long way.
So that's just about everything, and like they do in Holland, make sure that you

Unhappy with management firm
Q: As an owner not on the board of my homeowners association, I have taken time to research the community association managers' (CAM) educational requirements. The educational hours required are very small compared to other professionals that are licensed real estate agents.
In the past three years our board has changed management several times. The property management companies do not appear to have a system of quality control in place to supervise their on-site managers. We had several rules violations that are not being enforced and tenants/renters are not being properly screened. The landscape company is not supervised by the manager, and landscape schedules are not being followed. We see a downfall in the appearance of our community. What can be done to upgrade the quality of management?
G.S., Orlando
A: The directors that you and the members elected to the board are 100 percent responsible for seeing that the community is well-maintained and properly operated. The board is responsible for seeing that the management company it engages is qualified and performs the contracted services. The board can engage management to assist it in day-to-day activities, but the board must supervise to see that management is performing its assigned duties.
You are correct that the limited number of hours required for a manager trainee may not properly train a person to be a proficient CAM. To stay current the state requires additional hours of study each year. Also, experience will make a CAM a better manager.
When you address management companies, you must take into consideration their business operations and management. A private company has its own business plans, which are not necessarily regulated by the state.
The answer to your final question: The quality of management is the responsibility of the board.
Q: Over the last year and a half the condominium has been reroofing our complex. It seems that they stop and start irregularly. I have serious water damage to my unit. I have tried numerous times to communicate with the board. I've even talked with the contractor without any solution to my problems.
I am at the point where I feel that I need a legal solution. When I expressed this to the president, he and the roofing contractor said they are engaging an attorney as well. I need advice as to what type of attorney is necessary for me to engage.
C.A., Fort Lauderdale
A: The attorney should have association experience. There are several sources that you can use to locate an association attorney. If you search the Yellow Pages under association law, you can probably find attorneys who specialize in association law.
You can also contact your local Community Association Institute Chapter for recommendations. Most association attorneys are members of this professional association. On the website www.flcaj.com, a list of Florida Association attorneys is available. This magazine will also list local chapters as well as other professional associations dealing with condominiums and homeowner associations.
Q: At our recent annual meeting we elected five new directors. Shortly after the meeting, two of the directors resigned. At the next board meeting only two directors showed up and they considered that they had a quorum to conduct business. I objected saying that three directors were considered a quorum. Was I correct?
M.R., Hollywood
A: The statutes say that when a director vacancy occurs, it must be filled immediately. The word immediate in so many words means at the next board meeting. It should be one of the first items on the agenda. That would mean that once a director has been selected and approved, that director would join the board immediately.
On the same subject, say you have a board of five directors and they all resigned at the same time. The last director cannot resign but must meet to appoint four new directors; then he can resign. In this case the quorum to appoint would be one.
I also read into your question the possibility that members of the community do not volunteer to be on the board. In this case there are two possibilities to continue. One is called receivership and the other is to continue with three directors. Both are bad choices for the members. Capital receivership is when the courts become involved and that means higher fees to pay for legal and receivership costs.
To answer your question about the quorum, it would depend on the situations I described. The two members could have appointed new directors. If they did not, they should reschedule the meeting immediately to appoint new directors.

In late March of 1913, the Ohio Valley experienced one of the most devastating floods of all time. Especially in river towns like Peru, Logansport and Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio, the water was all-consuming. Fort Wayne is home to the Maumee River Basin, one of the eight major watersheds in the state. The confluence of the Maumee, St. Joseph and St. Marys Rivers is in the heart of town, and the Basin also includes the Trier, Junk and Fairfield Ditches and Spy Run Creek.
Locally, the rivers crested at 26.1 feet before the flood waters receded. Some 5,000 acres were flooded in the Fort Wayne area and 15,000 were left homeless for more than a week. The property loss was estimated at $25 million.
The devastation in the Midwest began with deadly tornadoes in Nebraska and Iowa on Easter Sunday, March 23. The storms moved eastward across Illinois and into Indiana. Northern Indiana already had experienced a heavy rainfall on Good Friday, March 21. Between the morning of March 23 and the night of March 25, 4.75 inches of rain fell. As many as 2000 homes were underwater in Fort Wayne by Tuesday, March 25. Before the rivers crested at 26.1 feet on Wednesday night, the Lakeside dikes of the St. Joseph River broke in two places. The electric light plant was submerged, casting Fort Wayne into darkness for two nights. The three pumping stations stalled, leaving the town vulnerable with no fire protection.
Six people are reported to have lost their lives in Fort Wayne during the Great Flood of 1913, including four young girls from the Allen County Orphans Home who drowned when their boat capsized during an attempt to move children from the home to a safer location. In other cities, the loss of life was even greater. In Peru, on the Wabash River, twenty people died. And in Dayton, Ohio, 150 died.
In Peru, the winter quarters of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus were flooded with six feet of water. Joseph Leiethel, one of the circus managers, reported that the elephants panicked, pulled their stakes from the ground and began to fight with one another in their fear. Five elephants were killed in the fighting, three were drowned and one died of exhaustion. Three escaped and were roaming the countryside. "Most of the monkeys went floating down the crest of the flood huddled on pieces of wreckage," Leiethel said.
The storms raged on eastward, all the way to Vermont, leaving citizens in their wake to pick up the pieces of their lives and their communities.

It's common for corporations to host charitable events during the holiday season, but a food drive for workers at a Wal-Mart store is causing the discount giant to defend the action.
Continue Reading Below
A Wal-Mart store in Canton, Ohio set up containers in an employee-only area with signs soliciting Thanksgiving food donations to help colleagues in need.
A picture of the bins was posted online Monday by the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR), a union-backed group that claims to be made up of current Wal-Mart employees, along with criticism of the retailer's wage and compensation practices.
"Why can't Walmart pay us enough so we can feed our families?" the Facebook page says.
The retailer, along with other big-named brands, including McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) and Wendy's (NASDAQ: WEN), has been targeted for the "fast food strike" movement that kicked off nearly a year ago and gained momentum in August, with workers striking and protesting for a $15 minimum wage.
Kory Lundberg, Wal-Mart spokesperson, says the most important take away from outcry over the store's actions is that the drive was created by and for employees. "They are collecting donations for people in the store that are facing a critical need or have run into an unforeseen hardship," Lundberg says. "A woman there had stopped receiving child support payments, and has lost that income and it is a hardship."
He notes other stores have started collections for fellow employees in the past who have experienced hardships like a house a house fire, for example.
"Associates do things like this, it is a way for these people who work together every day to take care of each other," he says. "The store is disappointed by folks who have never been in the store, trying to twist this into something it is not."
OUR member Tiffany Beroid, who is also an associate in a Laurel, Md., Wal-Mart store, said in a statement to FOXBusiness.com that while it supports workers helping one another out in times of need, the food driver showcases a much-bigger issue: employees are not being paid enough. OUR is a 501c3 and receives support from the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, among other individuals and organizations.
"As Wal-mart workers, we do come together and support each other, but we shouldn't have to collect food from or for each other when our employer is making $17 billion in profits," Beroid said. "Wal-mart should publicly commit to pay us $25,000 a year and end its illegally retaliation against those of us speaking out. Today's revelation confirms what far too many Wal-mart workers already know: wages are too low to support a family and Wal-mart will do anything to avoid addressing the real issues. We don't want handouts, we want an employer that pays us enough to cover Thanksgiving dinner for our families."
Cliff Courtney, branding expert and chief marketing officer at Zimmerman Advertising, says Wal-Mart is being judged unfairly.
"This is another case of no one roots for Goliath," Courtney says. "No good deed goes unpunished. The fact is they are just trying to do a good thing." He says the store wasn't advertising the food drive and not asking customers for contributions, and he expects the hype to short lived.
"Wal-mart has always stood for the 'good life for less,'" Courtney says. "They are trying to do something nice, and they have tried to do things like this in the past and they have backfired. This too will pass over."

Shoplet recently sent me some Office Supplies, and this time we have a variety of BIC products for review. Let's start with the BIC Atlantis Retractable Ballpoint Pen.
In terms of looks, the Atlantis has several features that echo the name - blue, ocean-like color, wavy/wave-like lines, and, in this case, blue ink. Unlike the BIC Crystal, the Atlantis has a grip and a metal clip, which is both more functional and more professional in appearance.
Some of you may not know that Bic is a French company, so it's nice to see that these are actually made in France. The last time I used a BIC Stick Grip, it was made in Mexico, and the quality was horrible.
My favorite feature of the Atlantis is a very comfortable grip that allows me to hold the pen any way I choose. Some writing instruments have grips that prescribe how I should hold it, and I don't like that at all.
BICs are rarely in my part of my pen rotation, but this one wouldn't be bad to have to loan out or keep on in my car. At $.72, I don't have to worry about losing it, but it still writes pretty well. It's certainly better than the last BIC ballpoint I tried, but it doesn't break into the super-smooth category (Pentel Vicuna, Uniball Jetstream, Pilot Acroball). The performance is closer to a Pilot EasyTouch or Fisher Space Pen.
I know BIC has several "green" products, but this is not one of them. It is not refillable, or is it made of recycled content. At any rate, it's a marked improvement from other BIC ballpoints I've used.
This is the BIC for Her Retractable Ballpoint. Full disclosure: I instantly sighed when I took this out of the box. Why? Because the marketing clearly targets women, this pen is apparently not meant for me, which is fine; I really don't like the color or design.
Beyond that, I've read several reviews from some of my female pen blogger friends that feel that this marketing strategy is cheap pandering. Elizabeth, of No Pen Intended, wrote an especially funny review on the Bic for Her Gel Pens.
Take away males and women that don't like the design, and that leaves a very small percentage of potential consumers. It's hard not to imagine this pen being in a princess/Barbie/Hello Kitty-themed room, but I could be wrong...
One design feature that I did like was that the pattern on the upper part of the barrel becomes embossed on the grip and the conical area beneath the grip. Again, not my cup of tea, but it looks interesting.
The pack I received came with two colors, pink and purple. My camera seems to have added more blue to the purple - it looks more purplely in real life.
I was surprised to see that these BICs are made in Japan. Usually that indicates a higher level of quality and writing performance. The build quality is fine, but the writing performance didn't lend itself to a noticeable improvement beyond the BIC Atlantis I tried.
The clicking mechanism was design to be a crown-like, jeweled sort of design. Kind of cool, but it doesn't coincide with my tastes.
I did like the writing seems to be finer than the 1.0 mm tip size would indicate, otherwise the writing experience was fairly typical for a ballpoint. At $2.06, this is an expensive Bic ballpoint, and there was no mention of being refillable or having recycled content.
Next is the BIC Velocity Roller Ball Retractable Gel Pen. I wasn't aware that these existed until I received them, but I am impressed to see a larger variety of formats available from BIC. The appearance of the Velocity is most similar to the Pilot G-2 in that it has a black clip, translucent barrel/ink window, and a black grip. The overall appearance, to me, is quite G-2ish.
Like the Atlantis, these pens are produced in France, as seen on the country of origin embossing in the image above.
The grip works well in terms of providing grip, but I'd prefer if there wasn't a little rubber wall between the grip and the conical section near the tip. It's by no means uncomfortable to hold it so that your fingers are positioned on the conical section, but I write small, so I enjoy being able to get right down towards to the end. Again, not a deal breaker, but a preference.
I was surprised that the pen was a bit drier than other .7 gels, which I initially liked, but I think the pen could benefit from a faster ink flow as skipping occurred fairly often. What's more, the pen is not refillable, which is somewhat surprising for any .7 gel ink pen. That being said, this is one of the most affordable gel ink pens out there at $.77/unit.
The performance was smooth, and I think this pen would be just fine in a pinch, but I'd rather spent a bit more and get more consistency in the lines. Pros and cons, but not a bad offering for the money.
This is the BIC Mark-it Grip Permanent Marker Set. Right off the bat, I thought the look of these was kind of retro, but pretty cool overall. The names are fun, and I like that they have a pronounced grip section; they are permanent, after all, so it's probably best that they don't slip from one's fingers.
The grip is essentially just hard plastic, but the little grooves allow you to hold on to the grip section with less risk of having them slide out of your hands on onto your shirt (or whatever else you'd rather not get permanent ink on).
What I liked is that the colors are bright and very high-contrast. The price is certainly right at less than a buck a piece, but... the good news stops there. These markers are labeled fine, and I have to say that the ink spread out - well, a lot. Once the ink hits the page, even on this Rhodia Reverse Book, the line width doubles as the ink spreads. I'd say these would be good for boxes and those of you that like a super bold line, but I can't imagine why these are labeled fine.
If you want a pack of permanent markers with a few color options, you could do worse. If you actually want to write a fine line, then these are not for you.
Lastly we have the BIC Wite-Out EZ Correct Correction Tape.There are other BIC Wite-Out Correction Tapes out there, but this one is pink for the Susan G. Komen cause to end breast cancer, a cause I am passionate about as several people I care very deeply for have either overcome, or are currently battling with, breast cancer.
It's nice to see that the issue of breast cancer is not represented as empty marketing; BIC is donating funds to help find a cure.
Using the reviews for the different product products I tried, I applied the Wite-Out correction tape to each of the reviews. Unfortunately my results were not always desirable, but I think the performance depends on how slow and carefully the tape is applied.
In this example, there was some bubbling at both sides of the bottom line of correction tape.
Here's a close-up example of what I mean. If you press it down with your finger, it is a little bit better, and it certainly seems better than using liquid correction productions.
On the Velocity sample, you can see that none of the lines beneath are visible, so it works well to cover the content beneath the correction line.
As far as writing on top of the correction tape, the gel was the most consistent, but the ballpoints were the easiest instruments to use. The marker, well, didn't perform very well. I also had an issue with bubbling and some inconsistent tearing, but this was less evident if I used the product with greater care.
Here's an example of using the correction tape quickly. The ends of the tape frequently bubbled, so I'm not sure that this is the best correction product if you are in a hurry.
I do like that you can see how much is left. If you've used other correction tape products, they all look very similar. What sets this one apart is the cause it supports - Susan G. Komen - and that is it more affordable than other correction tapes out there. I prefer Liquid Paper DryLine and Tombow Mono correction tape products personally, but it's nice to have options.
Yep - a bit messy. I think that this would be a great product if it could be applied in a cleaner fashion with less tearing. I may have been hard on the BIC products I tried, but I think there are many excellent products out there to complete against. BIC does well with affordable, accessible products, but there is a way to go to meet the needs of those with discernible tastes.

To the Editor,
As a resident of Emmet County and Estherville, I feel the Halloween parties are a great thing, which the association provides. But according to my knowledge these parties were only for children in the ELC School District. I feel that is wrong! We choose to open enroll our children to another district, but live in the city of Estherville which we pay taxes and shop locally. Our children were not upset about these, however the point is Emmet County resident should be able to attend. I guess if they continue holding these parties, maybe they should consider making this available to Emmet County residents. And if it isn't then maybe the parties shouldn't be held. That would be a very sad situation since there is not a lot of option s in Estherville for young children and teens to do. In closing I believe as a resident of Estherville and Emmet County they should reconsider who is able to attend these parties for area youth.

If it were easy it wouldn't be an expedition. A team of 18 people, 3 horses and 3 dogs embarked on a mission to distant caves in the Maya Mountains in Southern Belize. The treasure they were looking for was the rare Sinkhole Cycad (Zamia prasina) – a unique plant species that only occurs in the bottom of sinkholes and on hilltops.
Unfortunately, the rarity of the Sinkhole Cycad has attracted the attention of collectors who are prepared to pay a high price for them. As a result, wild cycad populations are being overexploited for the nursery trade making it a critically endangered species.
SOS – Save Our Species supports the Montgomery Botanical Centre (MBC) that led the Sinkhole Cycad expedition. Through a SOS funded project, MBC's conservation team brings wild cycad seeds to three botanical gardens to learn how to propagate them. The team is also planning to distribute 1,000 garden seeds of this rare plant into the nursery industry to protect the wild populations.
While 1,000 seeds might not sound like much, they are an ambitious target for the project. "For cycads, every individual seed makes a difference. These are collector's plants which command a high price, even for a single seed. This is due to the rarity, the low number of seed produced each year, and the challenging germination," explained Patrick Griffith, the MBC's Executive Director. The aim is to make it easier to procure Sinkhole Cycads from nurseries than collecting them from the wild, giving wild populations a chance to survive. The 1,000 seeds would go a long way in achieving this.
The expedition lasted from 16 to 28 February 2014 and the team was led by Patrick Griffith and cycad biologist Michael Calonje. Also on the team were botany, horticulture and wildlife experts from Belize Botanic Gardens, Teakettle Enterprises, and the Ya'axche Conservation Trust, in addition to local and national support personnel. The same geographic circumstances that make this cycad ideal for research and conservation – remote caves in the mountain forest – demanded careful logistics and planning.
The study sites were a full day's walk beyond roads, quite close to the Guatemalan border. Three nights of bivouacking with food, camp gear and botanical tools required a pack train of three horses. In addition, the increased presence of xateros (palm poachers) in the area made security planning necessary. These xateros illegally cross into Belize from neighbouring Guatemala to collect the leaves of the Chamaedorea palm species that are widely used in the floral industry.
In the end, the expedition team was rewarded for confronting the hardship and danger. A third major population of the Sinkhole Cycad in yet another remote site was discovered and documented. This new population will have a significant impact on the conservation of the species. "Discovering a completely new population of this cycad is a great step forward for conserving the species! This could mean a greater pool of genetic diversity exists in the wild - but certainly the number of known surviving plants can be moved upward," said Patrick Griffith.
Thanks to the collaboration between SOS and MBC, the Sinkhole Cycad has a greater chance of becoming a model of successful ex-situ conservation.

Crosby's Knuckleball Kick
I think the Packers offensive tackles are going to have trouble against speed rushers all season long, especially on artifical turf. More reason to go to Cobb on the quick passes.
I just hope the season doesn't depend on a long Crosby field goal. Can you imagine? ...
Cobb is quickly moving up to being among the top five most valuable Packers. Not only the TD's against the Rams, but the YAC on third downs to keep drives alive.
The D is improving, but is still a work in progress. Especially over the middle. There's still too many times opponents move the ball downfield too easily. The new DB's show great promise however.
I was ready to help pack Slocum's bags the past few seasons but I'm sure glad I was wrong there. SS and MM are looking like geniuses with their calculated risks this year based on some great scouting and film review.
Its been an interesting pattern, all 3 big ST plays are on the second attempt of that play in the game. The coaches must see the tendency coming into the game, confirm it after the first time the Packers try the play, and then BOOM!
Fake FG against the Bears to Crabtree, 2nd FG attempt.
Fake Punt against the Saints to Kuhn, 2nd punt attempt.
Onside Kick against the Rams, 2nd kickoff...
Let's hope the opponents don't catch on.
Here's another issue.
MM almost always seems completely indifferent to TIME OF POSSESSION. I always joke that ToP is a "WCO" concept, not a "Run and Shoot" concept.
But with a banged up DL, to say nothing of a third string ILB, it would behoove us to go out of our way to cultivate that.
In fairness, the Packers did hot the clock in the second half. Not coincidentally, we also won the game.
Interesting article in Chi. Trib. Sunday about the new wave of kickers. Like that kid from St. Louis. They are robotrons- been kicking 365 for 18 years, attending camps, training, etc.. and, sorry to say- they ain't hitting balls in domes like we've seen lately.
Is it me, or does even the set-up of our running plays jinx us? slow to develop: draw plays, stretch (!!) plays: the only quick-hitters i see is Kuhn's 1 or 2 carries a game. It seems like they are doomed before they begin. its like the explosive 'bam' type of runs between the tackles aren't even in the playbook. Anybody else notice this?
Exactly. He got schooled.
But, I still like him a lot.
In the history of my fanhood I don't remember ever having this many young, promising DBs that actually appear to be developing as we would have hoped. Memories are made of a lot more disappoints.
I always think back to the year we drafted Antuan Edwards, Fred Vinson, and Mike McKenzie back-to-back-to-back just to stop Moss, and went 1-for-3. It's really hard to hit on secondary talent in the draft, just ask Bill Belichick.
I am not sure that AJ Hawk needs to be in the bad category. I didn't see him make many bad plays. I know he missed an open field tackle on a receiver that just ran by him. But other then that i didn't see him miss many plays. I could be wrong, but I didn't see it.
To me BAD needs to be whole offensive line. The left side just can't seem to hold up. I saw TJ Lang's guy come free way to much. Newhouse struggled, and just about every run play Green had absolutely no where to go. All the guy needs is an opening and they couldn't provide that.
It might just be me, but it seems like Lang has regressed this year. He has had a number of missed blocks and any interior penetration on passing plays seems to come from his guy. I would like to know the stats of how many pressures he has allowed compared to last year.
I believe Lang's issues are due to new/lack of familiarity with center and playing next to Newhouse. When Newhouse gets beat out wide, it gives the DT over Lang almost a two way go on the pass rush, like he's playing OT instead of OG. I will agree that Lang stunk it up in the run game, but some of those I feel like Saturday either doesn't know to double team or can't get to the double team fast enough.
Crosby is anti-clutch. He is terrible in the clutch. He has only made 2 last second kicks in his career out of like 13 or 14 tries. His first NFL game ever vs the Eagles and last year against the Giants. Every other one he has missed and some he missed pretty bad (yesterday). I have no confidence in him with the game in the line. BUM. Punch it in for 6 Aaron cause Missin Crosby has proven he can't be counted on!
Heyward, House, Shields, McMillon that is so encouraging for the defense and our WR's are playing as advertised before the start of the season. Rodgers continues to make a FOOL of Skip Bayliss (the Eddie Haskell of commentators) who disses him every week.For their years of experience both Newhouse and Bulaga stack up good with Clifton and Taucher at the same stage in their careers, both will be solid for a long time. Only negative is Crosby who has and will continue to CHOCK, he "is what we thought he was".
UGLY: Living in northern Wisconsin and not being able to see the game on television because the Vikings are playing at the same time. Absolutely tired of this.
GOOD: Having the best radio announcers in the NFL calling our games. I love Wayne and Larry. I'm gonna miss them when I move to Cali next month. I'll have to try out this new "internet" thing to get 'em.
Why does MM continue to want to butt heads with an obvious stronger Def line on running plays. They played in GB's BF all day and Geen didn't stand a chance. Just let him flare out or go thru the line and flip it to him in space and see who wins those matchups. Woodson and Clay Matthews shouldn't have even been in the game with less than 3 mins to go in a blowout situation. Maybe MM learned something from this disaster, but I doubt it, he seems pretty set in his ways.
