I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, IA, graduating from Washington H.S. in 1987. I have a B.A. from the University of Iowa and the equivalent of a B.S.C.L.S., a medical science degree. I completed a year of graduate work in Conducting at Sam Houston State University.
Sacred Music has always been a major part of my existence since playing at the Baptist Church in elementary school. The past twenty-one years have been spent as a choral director, pianist, and organist, mostly with the Methodist Church.
I have three children: Elena, Lila, and Max; aged 16, 10, and 8.
We have a tremendous ensemble of music and liturgical ministers here at St. E's. Every weekend they selflessly give of their time and talent so that we more fully celebrate and experience the Eucharist.

Weather-wise the week started in a similar vein to last week with blustery westerlies and showers. The 22nd dawned with a beautiful pink mackerel sky and a light northerly breeze and we enjoyed a couple of calmer days before the clouds and wind returned.
The high point of the week for me came early, on Monday 21st. As I drove past the old Victoria public house on the morning school run, a large white bird in flight caught my eye. It was my first sighting in the parish of a Little Egret, a bird I have seen 2-3 times since moving here but always in Lessingham. 25 years ago this would have been an event to set birders pulses racing but this species has spread northward from the continent to such an extent that small breeding colonies have become established in more southern counties. Indeed, breeding even occurs at at least 2 sites in Norfolk.
A trip to the bottle bank may seem like a mundane to task to most but our nearest, at the Wenn Evans Centre, gives me the chance to have a look over the fields to the west of the village. Today a bird on top of the old shelter warranted closer investigation. Bringing my telescope into play I could see it was a male Stonechat, doubtless one of the birds I had seen earlier in the month. Scanning the fringe of vegetation along the cliff edge, back towards the village, I saw 2 more. These soon worked their way to the rough area next to the Coast Watch where all 3 fed alongside some Blackbirds, a Robin and a Wren. Stonechats regularly turn up at coastal locations in late winter/early spring; indeed this could be seen as an early migration. Another pair, seen just south of East Ruston church the next day and subsequently, perhaps supports this idea.
A pair of local Stonechats. Thanks again to Bob Cobbold.
Reports from other birders this week included 3 tundra race Bean Geese and 2 Lapland Buntings SE of the lighthouse. The latter were probably flyovers, picked up on call; a distinctive 'chu' followed by a rapid, dry rattle, 'ptt, ptt, prrrtt'. Wintering mostly in southern Russia it seems, small numbers of 'Laps' regularly spend the winter in coastal fields around the southern North sea coasts.
Other sightings through the week were limited but Fieldfares, a large, winter visiting thrush, once again made an appearance in fields close to home: there were 17 opposite my house on the 22nd and 19 on the meadows below Lower Farm on the 25th. Nearby, a flock of 30 Chaffinches fed on some weathered ploughed land, seeking cover in some tall Poplars as Oswald and I walked past. The week finished up rather bright and a male Greenfinch 'songflighting' at the end of my lane gave a hint of springtime activity to come...

"I believe I am the head of this family," Sir Pitt repeated; "and however much I may regret any circumstance which may lead to your Ladyship quitting this house, must, if you please, continue to govern it as I see fit."
Lady Southdown rose up as magnificent as Mrs. Siddons in Lady Macbeth and ordered that horses might be put to her carriage. If her son and daughter turned her out of their house, she would hide her sorrows somewhere in loneliness and pray for their conversion to better thoughts.
"We don't turn you out of our house, Mamma," said the timid Lady Jane imploringly.
"You invite such company to it as no Christian lady should meet, and I will have my horses to-morrow morning."
"Have the goodness to write, Jane, under my dictation," said Sir Pitt, rising and throwing himself into an attitude of command, like the portrait of a Gentleman in the Exhibition, "and begin. 'Queen's Crawley, September 14, 1822. — My dear brother — '"
Hearing these decisive and terrible words, Lady Macbeth, who had been waiting for a sign of weakness or vacillation on the part of her son-in-law, rose and, with a scared look, left the library. Lady Jane looked up to her husband as if she would fain follow and soothe her mamma, but Pitt forbade his wife to move.
"She won't go away," he said. "She has let her house at Brighton and has spent her last half-year's dividends. A Countess living at an inn is a ruined woman. I have been waiting long for an opportunity — to take this — this decisive step, my love; for, as you must perceive, it is impossible that there should be two chiefs in a family: and now, if you please, we will resume the dictation. 'My dear brother, the melancholy intelligence which it is my duty to convey to my family must have been long anticipated by,'" &c.
In a word, Pitt having come to his kingdom, and having by good luck, or desert rather, as he considered, assumed almost all the fortune which his other relatives had expected, was determined to treat his family kindly and respectably and make a house of Queen's Crawley once more. It pleased him to think that he should be its chief. He proposed to use the vast influence that his commanding talents and position must speedily acquire for him in the county to get his brother placed and his cousins decently provided for, and perhaps had a little sting of repentance as he thought that he was the proprietor of all that they had hoped for. In the course of three or four days' reign his bearing was changed and his plans quite fixed: he determined to rule justly and honestly, to depose Lady Southdown, and to be on the friendliest possible terms with all the relations of his blood.
So he dictated a letter to his brother Rawdon — a solemn and elaborate letter, containing the profoundest observations, couched in the longest words, and filling with wonder the simple little secretary, who wrote under her husband's order. "What an orator this will be," thought she, "when he enters the House of Commons" (on which point, and on the tyranny of Lady Southdown, Pitt had sometimes dropped hints to his wife in bed); "how wise and good, and what a genius my husband is! I fancied him a little cold; but how good, and what a genius!"
The fact is, Pitt Crawley had got every word of the letter by heart and had studied it, with diplomatic secrecy, deeply and perfectly, long before he thought fit to communicate it to his astonished wife.
This letter, with a huge black border and seal, was accordingly despatched by Sir Pitt Crawley to his brother the Colonel, in London. Rawdon Crawley was but half-pleased at the receipt of it. "What's the use of going down to that stupid place?" thought he. "I can't stand being alone with Pitt after dinner, and horses there and back will cost us twenty pound."
He carried the letter, as he did all difficulties, to Becky, upstairs in her bedroom — with her chocolate, which he always made and took to her of a morning.
He put the tray with the breakfast and the letter on the dressing- table, before which Becky sat combing her yellow hair. She took up the black-edged missive, and having read it, she jumped up from the chair, crying "Hurray!" and waving the note round her head.
"Hurray?" said Rawdon, wondering at the little figure capering about in a streaming flannel dressing-gown, with tawny locks dishevelled. "He's not left us anything, Becky. I had my share when I came of age."
"You'll never be of age, you silly old man," Becky replied. "Run out now to Madam Brunoy's, for I must have some mourning: and get a crape on your hat, and a black waistcoat — I don't think you've got one; order it to be brought home to-morrow, so that we may be able to start on Thursday."
"You don't mean to go?" Rawdon interposed.
"Of course I mean to go. I mean that Lady Jane shall present me at Court next year. I mean that your brother shall give you a seat in Parliament, you stupid old creature. I mean that Lord Steyne shall have your vote and his, my dear, old silly man; and that you shall be an Irish Secretary, or a West Indian Governor: or a Treasurer, or a Consul, or some such thing."
"Posting will cost a dooce of a lot of money," grumbled Rawdon.
"We might take Southdown's carriage, which ought to be present at the funeral, as he is a relation of the family: but, no — I intend that we shall go by the coach. They'll like it better. It seems more humble — "
"Rawdy goes, of course?" the Colonel asked.
"No such thing; why pay an extra place? He's too big to travel bodkin between you and me. Let him stay here in the nursery, and Briggs can make him a black frock. Go you, and do as I bid you. And you had best tell Sparks, your man, that old Sir Pitt is dead and that you will come in for something considerable when the affairs are arranged. He'll tell this to Raggles, who has been pressing for money, and it will console poor Raggles." And so Becky began sipping her chocolate.
When the faithful Lord Steyne arrived in the evening, he found Becky and her companion, who was no other than our friend Briggs, busy cutting, ripping, snipping, and tearing all sorts of black stuffs available for the melancholy occasion.
"Miss Briggs and I are plunged in grief and despondency for the death of our Papa," Rebecca said. "Sir Pitt Crawley is dead, my lord. We have been tearing our hair all the morning, and now we are tearing up our old clothes."
"Oh, Rebecca, how can you — " was all that Briggs could say as she turned up her eyes.
"Oh, Rebecca, how can you — " echoed my Lord. "So that old scoundrel's dead, is he? He might have been a Peer if he had played his cards better. Mr. Pitt had very nearly made him; but he ratted always at the wrong time. What an old Silenus it was!"
"I might have been Silenus's widow," said Rebecca. "Don't you remember, Miss Briggs, how you peeped in at the door and saw old Sir Pitt on his knees to me?" Miss Briggs, our old friend, blushed very much at this reminiscence, and was glad when Lord Steyne ordered her to go downstairs and make him a cup of tea.

New Approach
4. Program Management
Yes, program management. Keep in mind that the RMO isn't designed to replace the PMO. An effective PMO already does a pretty good job of tracking, monitoring and reporting--all key elements of any successful program. Why mess with a good thing? The RMO should complement what's already working in the PMO, staying focused on ensuring that business value is being delivered.
The principles that shape the RMO approach shouldn't look new. What's new is that an effective RMO builds them into a structured, orderly process designed with one goal in mind: Delivering real business value from investments in technology programs.
An effective PMO already holds program management accountable for hitting timing and budget milestones. Isn't it past time to make sure these programs hit the mark when it comes to delivering business results?

The likelihood that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was downed by a missile has raised questions over whether the plane should have been flying over war-torn eastern Ukraine—and could have profound consequences for air travel.
The doomed Boeing 777 was following an air traffic routing between Europe and Asia that is issued by dozens of jets a day and was in a section of air space deemed safe by international aviation authorities.
Within hours of Thursday's disaster, all air space around eastern Ukraine was shut down. But some airlines had already been avoiding the area amid concerns over the deteriorating security. Two low-flying Ukrainian aircraft—a fighter jet and a military transport plane—were shot down by pro-separatist rebels earlier this week.

Interactive Radar Location Map
Reports, Facts, and Accomplishments
USFWS National
USFWS Avian Radar Units
Scanning the Skies for Migrants
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service operates two mobile avian radar units (Merlin - DeTect, Inc.) that have been stationed around the Great Lakes since 2011. These radar units track birds and bats as they fly through the air. Each radar unit has two antennas that provide different information on how the birds and bats are moving. The radar units cannot distinguish a bird from a bat or identify individual species, so we refer to what the radar tracks as "targets".
The Horizontal Radar scans out across the landscape and provides a "birds eye view" of what is occurring. It provides information on what direction targets are flying. The relatively large range (about 2 miles) allows it to collect this information from a large number of birds and bats. The large range also allows the radar to stretch out over the water to compare what is happening there with what is happening inland.
The Vertical Radar, sampling perpendicular to the ground, takes a cross section of the airspace and provides standardized counts as well as information on how high the targets are flying. The smaller range (about 1 mile) increases the resolution of the radar so that it can better determine what height targets are flying at. The cross section of the airspace that the vertical radar scans acts like a gate, more reliably counting target that pass through an area. This is why we rely more on the vertical radar counts for an estimate of activity levels.
Radar Properties
The radar antennas on the avian radar units are the same type that are used in marine settings for large boats. Radar waves are emitted from the antennas and reflected back when those waves encounter a solid object such as a bird, bat, tree, house, or boat are recorded and displayed inside the radar unit. Complex algorithms developed by DeTect Inc. automatically distinguish the radar characteristics of birds and bats from trees, planes, insects, and rain. This allows consistent effort and continuous data collection that is not possible with human observers recording data.
The videos below show the raw radar recordings from each of the antennas from near midnight during a time with high migration. These movies are sped up for easier viewing but each new frame update is 3 seconds of real time. The brighter white areas are places where there is a high amount of reflected radar waves. This includes targets that are tracked but also reflections from trees, buildings, and other objects that cause clutter. Clutter is generally stationary and is filtered out by the tracking algorithms. Targets (migrating birds and bats) appear as small circles or ovals moving across the static background.
The targets from the raw radar are tracked by the radar software and summaries are produced for easier viewing. The examples on this site these are 1-hour summaries.
The output from the horizontal radar plots each target and colors it according to the direction it was moving in. For instance, the trackplot displayed on the left shows many targets moving in a southerly direction and are colored red, orange and yellow as a result.
On the vertical radar trackplot displayed on the right, we can see the distribution of flight heights of targets. In this case they are congregated at lower altitudes but some still fly up to 2000 ft. The vertical radar tracks targets up to approximately 9,000 ft in altitude.
Check out our interactive map of various locations we have been, and find out activity using trackplots from your area!

Finalist announcement for the 2017 Jazz Awards/
The Wellington Jazz Festival will be home to the New Zealand Jazz Awards in 2017, where the winners of the Recorded Music NZ Best Jazz Album and the APRA Best Jazz Composition will be announced on 11 June.
Myele Manzanza's OnePointOne, Jonathan Crayford's East West Moon and the Mike Nock Trio & NZ Trio's Vicissitudes are the three albums in the running for the Tui award.
And the finalists for Best Jazz Composition are Callum Allardice for Deep Thought, Bruce Brown for It's A Good Time (To Be A Man), and Jasmine Lovell-Smith for Familia.
One of the three founding members of New Zealand NZ soul group Electric Wire Hustle, Myele Manzanza, left the band in 2013 to pursue a solo career and released his debut solo album OnePointOne.
Three years later he returns with his sophomore album OnePointOne. With roots in hip hop and African rhythm, these genres fuse with the freedom of jazz to create a unique listening experience. The album was recorded live in Los Angeles in 2014 and has gained great recognition both internationally and in New Zealand.
Jonathan Crayford began playing piano at three years old before moving on to study classical music and launching his life as a performer and composer.
In 1982 at just 18 years old, he began composing music for feature films, several of which received industry awards – including Best Film Score in 1990 for Ruby and Rata at the New Zealand Film and TV Awards.
And now in 2017, Recorded Music NZ recognise his efforts for East West Moon, his second album with Ben Street (bass) and Dan Weiss (drums). Jonathan's work spans many genres and disciplines, and he regularly performs and records with artists in all corners of the world.
After playing together for over a decade, the Mick Nock Trio, along with NZ Trio, round out the finalists for this year's Best Jazz Album with Vicissitudes. Christchurch native Mick Nock's career has spanned a broad range of contemporary musical styles, attracting many awards and honours over his lengthy career.
In 2003, Mick was presented with the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM), before being inducted into the Australian Jazz Hall of Fame in 2009. In 2014, he was awarded the Don Banks Music Award – a prestigious individual music award in Australia. He currently lives in New South Wales.
Recorded Music CEO Damian Vaughan said the 2017 Best Jazz Album finalists have each contributed something unique and moving – to not just to the genre, but to New Zealand music.
"All our finalists have earned their stripes over the years and now we're seeing musicians at the top of their game, crafting and recording albums that speak to our emotions and experiences."
The APRA Best Jazz Composition will also be announced at the Wellington Jazz Festival. The award was successfully launched last year, and there are three strong contenders for the prize in 2017.
Heralding from Motueka, Tasman Bay, is Callum Allardice who is in the running for his composition Deep Thought. The song is performed by Antipodes, a creative contemporary jazz sextet playing works by Callum, long-time collaborator Jake Baxendale and Australian pianist and composer, Luke Sweeting.
Formidable piano playing, a silky-smooth voice and lyrics are what characterise Bruce Brown, a Los Angeles native who arrived in New Zealand in 1998 to establish the Jazz Vocal programme at Wellington's Massey University. His composition It's A Good Time (To Be A Man) was recorded and performed by the Bruce Brown Quintet.
The last finalist is saxophonist/composer Jasmine Lovell-Smith who has recently returned to live in Wellington after spending seven years in the USA and Mexico, where she taught jazz studies and the saxophone at the State University. Her composition Familia is a beautiful worldly piece crafted from elements both here and abroad.
APRA AMCOS head of NZ Operations Anthony Healy says: "The Wellington Jazz Festival is the ideal occasion to celebrate the work of these excellent composers and pay tribute to the very high calibre of jazz being made across New Zealand."
The winner of both the Recorded Music NZ Best Jazz Album and APRA Best Jazz Composition will be announced at the Wellington Jazz Festival. The Wellington Jazz Festival runs from Wednesday 7 through to Sunday 11 June, and features hundreds of local and international jazz performers throughout the week.
In 2016 more than 25,000 people attended 140 free and paid events, including sold-out international headliners Wayne Shorter Quartet and Snarky Puppy.

Someone I knew committed suicide whist under the 'care' of the mental health service. Her carer went away for a couple of weeks and someone else was supposed to keep an eye on her. He came back and asked how she was doing and they said they hadn't had time to go and check.He raced round to her states flat where he found that she'd been hanging, dead for a fortnight.An inquest was ordered but it was never published in the JEP...The carer who'd been away was gutted and attended her funeral.

My mother suffered a breakdown, and would not leave her friends house, so they called me her son.
I phoned the family doctor, he was not available it was a Sunday. She self hurt herself.
Desperate and not knowing what to do, I phoned the Samaritans. Lovely people they told me to phone the Doctors surgery someone would be on call.
It took ages, but got through and a Doctor said he would call. He did not know our family or my Mother.
My mothers friends were upset, I was upset and now of the opinion, that my mother was well past a cup of tea and a chat, her behaviour was upsettingly weird. She also self harmed with a burning cigarette.
The doctor arrived to our relief, my relief did not last long. Send her to surgery Monday was his considered opinion she is not well.
Then I lost it, in a nice calm eye to eye confrontation. Pen in hand like a police man I took all his details and then warned him that there is a good chance in her unbalanced state of mind that she would do serious harm to herself.
I would hold him personally responsible, and I hoped he was well insured and was quite happy to say goodbye to his career. For christ sake she had already hurt herself and refused to leave someone else's home.
The Doctor looked shocked, because he new I meant it and made a call muttering in the corner of the room.
He then said I would have to sign a form and it would not be easy for me. He was right.
The ambulance turned up twenty minutes later and they took her to St. Saviours.
Better that then find her dead in a back street, the ambulance people were wonderful, as were the Samaritans the doctor missed his lunch and could not look me in the face, he was the weak link as he was motivated by being threatened by being held responsible.
She came out three months later and after a lot of treatment recovered fully and has helped other people in trouble.

I have here a copy of the 'Jersey Statistical Review 2002' published by the Policy & Resources Dept. Aug 2002. Not exaclty helpful for now but as a comparisson perhaps?
This is what it says (It's a graph)
TITLE-Suicides & Undetermined Deaths for Jersey (1992-2000) and Other Islands (1996 -1998)
International Average 14.5%
Jersey 14.3%
Isle of Wight- 10.9%
England 9.2%
Isle of Man 8.4%
This is deaths per 100,000.
(International average= 58 countries).
As regard to 2008, although I don't have the figures, I believe it 'spiked' that year. I remember someone coming on Radio Jersey trying to explain why a 'spike' was considered ...'ok'!!
I wouldn't be suprised if alot of those 'extra' deaths may have been paedophiles shutting down and (hopefully not)victims who finding re-living the HDLG abuse experience, just too painful.
Although I didn't know anyone myself, a collegue at work knew of a man who topped himself in 2008 and it was something to do with HDLG and / or chiild abuse. I got the feeling from what this collegue was saying, this person was a perpertrator but he didn't give too much away. I also know of a very sad case of a former HDLG resident who died around this time although not from suicide- it'a a tragic story and I don't feel it's my buisness to write it.
As for the reasons why Jersey has such a high suicide, I think the Jersey Way plays a major part in it. Afterall, people are living in fear in an introverted society, it's not exactly a healthy starting point. Just like Jersey coming 36th out of 36 countries for voter turn out. Another appaulingly bad statistic that the establishment simply ignores while being far too busy waffling hubris and self adoration whilst striking relentlessly and putting down anyone who raises their heads or gets in their way.

Hi Anon's
Thanks for the stats. It would be interesting to see the figures up to the present day. The issues surrounding Mental Health must be brought out into the open. There are some excellent people working under extreme conditions. The implementation of the Health's White Paper could just be a wishful Christmas list.
Im pleased to hear your mother made a full recovery. That is excellent news and the fact she is prepared to help others.

As I understand it, an Inquest is an open court unless there are reporting restrictions imposed - very rarely.
It would be worth contacting the JEP with the date of the inquest to enquire as to why it was not reported.

This is a subject of which I can offer a wealth of experience and will probably share over the coming days.
However, not all suicide inquests are reported in the JEP. When I lost my son to suicide the police/media did not report it to save myself and my daughters from further distress. This may have changed now, but was not too long ago.
Depression/mental health issues/suicide - the unseen illness that people avoid being open about.
Fair play to you Rico for highlighting the problem.
- June 10, 2013 at 3:52 PM
Rico, Ian Evans has published some previous postings about suicide in jersey. Do you think you could join forces and get the truth????
I found this interesting comment from his blog.
"hmmmmmm this makes me very suspicious as to why all of a sudden channel tv have suddenly decided to report on this.i my self have lost 2 friends,who had mental health issues,to suicide.its totally heartbreaking to think that these people had to take there own lives,as they must of felt there was no other way out.the shocking state of the mental health services in jersey is at an all time low,with major cutbacks effecting everyone concerned.a few years ago they started to discharge a lot of people from the phyciatric outpatients and pushed them on to there own gps,and now because of this they have now cut back the number of trained phyciatrists.pushing people from there on to there own gps just don't seem right to me as its shoving some ones problems from one place to another.they are also going to close the phyciatric outpatients in the main hospital,as thats how much they have reduced there case loads by,but there are still cpns(community phyciatric nurses)in action.depression is one awful illness and a lot of people dont seek help as it has a certain stigma attached to it.education for the masses is the way foward,but education will only work if people will listen.and rymac you are totally right there does need to be an inquiry into why so many people take there own lives on jersey.and as for the real numbers of people committing suicide on jersey being disclosed, well i dont think any of us will ever know the real number as sometimes as when some one takes there own life its never even in the paper or on the news.2 people have already taken there own lives this year,thats just a shameful statistic really.when are the people who run this island and give the money out to fund states departments going to realise that suicides here go on and on year in year out and that keeping people from the help they so badly need,this will just keep going on.my deepest sympathies go to both familys who have lost loved ones already this year.

Here are the stats from the 'Jersey Health Profile 2010'
Year/No.of recorded suicides in Jsy.
2000- 13
2001- 9
2002- 8
2003- 11
2004- 11
2005- 8
2006- 14
2007- 12
2008- 16
2009- 26 (17 male/ 8 female)
2010- 9
Note the 26 spike in 2009. There should be an audit into determining if there were any common factors in with this particular group. 2008 was also a significant increase but 2009 is off the scale. This must be looked at. It has a certain smell about it.

You might want to look into the case below Rico, I am reliably informed that it is not all that the State Media cracked it up to be. I believe the JEP news cuttings of this case say something rather different to that posted below! Might even be a good idea to get VFC back on peoples doorsteps with his trusty video camera, I would be rather surprised if Mrs Ritson didn't want to talk about this case....
Suicide case: Review is to be independent
Saturday 5th July 2008, 9:57AM BST.
AN independent review is to be launched into the care of a father-of-two who committed suicide following years of depression.
Mike Ritson (64) was found hanged in his garage at his home in St Brelade on 1 March. At an inquest last month his wife, Jackie Ritson, blamed consultant psychiatrist Dr John Sharkey for the death, claiming that he failed to treat her husband's condition correctly or recognise the severity of his illness, and was reluctant to detain him in hospital.
Now the General Hospital's Mental Health Service will launch a review into Mr Ritson's treatment. Mrs Ritson (49) has urged the Hospital to ensure that any review of the case is completely independent. She said: 'I am so desperate to get an inquiry. I feel very sad because I feel that Mike was let down. He was crying out for help and he died a man who was not believed.
Mrs Ritson said that her husband eventually became frightened of Dr Sharkey, and his condition only improved when he was briefly placed under the care of another consultant psychiatrist, Dr Gil Blackwood. (Dr Blackwood has also called for an independent review (letters).
Ian Dyer, directorate manager of Mental Health Services, said that a review undertaken before Mr Ritson's death found that Dr Sharkey was a 'good clinician'. He also stressed that Dr Sharkey has never been officially blamed for Mr Ritson's death, or criticised for any part of his treatment. He confirmed that an independent review into the treatment, which 'is likely to involve a consultant from the UK', would be launched.
- June 11, 2013 at 6:17 PM
I have no experience of Mental Health Services over here but it doesn't take a genuis to work out that the stabbings a couple of years back could have been avoided if services had been fit for purpose.
- June 11, 2013 at 8:01 PM

Ah yes - the very same Dr Sharkey who discharged my son after one week in Hospital when he was begging to stay longer as he knew he was not ready to leave.
The very same Dr.Sharkey who said in front of myself and my son that he only wanted to stay to 'impress his girlfriend'!!!
The very same son who went on to take his own life. RIP Neil xxx
And yes, I have the same sentiments about the Polish man who went on a killing spree. He too cried for help and did not get it. 6 lives lost and one ruined.
- June 12, 2013 at 5:18 PM
Name: Dr John Sharkey
Job Title: Consultant Psychiatrist
Company: Independent
After working for 10 years in Jersey as a Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Sharkey returned to Northern Ireland in 2008. While in Jersey he was the clinical leader of an award winning Inpatient Psychiatric Unit and gained a reputation for clear decision making with a proven record of addressing challenging issues proactively.
Through his considerable experience of private practice he developed an interest in Occupational Psychiatry. He current works part time as a Consultant Psychiatrist in the Occupational health Department of the Belfast Trust.
A passionate believer in the superiority of prevention over cure, he has presented to schools, business people, GP's, Psychiatrists, Lawyers, individual companies and the cabinet of Ministers for the government of Jersey promoting personal leadership as the best route to good mental health.

so called dr sharkey and so called dr gil blackwood(aka Sigmund Freud) have a lot to answer to,unfortunately this will never ever happen as is the case in jersey.i don't think there has ever been an investigation into suicides here and if there have been they been kept under lock and key.sometimes in very rare cases you might just see death by misadventure verdict in the beano but not very often.ian and rico i must applaud you both on covering this subject matter on your blog sites,and hopefully more people will post comments on this sad subject matter.

How long until Jersey follows suit.

- rico sorda said...
I haven't had the pleasure of seeing how Dr Blackwood handled his cases during his time at Mental Health but I have been informed he was duly concerned at what he saw going on. It is a complex issue. There are different theories as to what is the best treatment for people with mental health. Love and care is essential. Not just to the patient but also the families concerned.
Suicide is connected to so many issues. It comes back to the social issues facing Jersey. As the times get harder so do the stress levels. Who is looking at the real social issues facing Jersey?
Senator Ferguson has this question lodged for Tuesday's States sitting.
3. The Minister for Health and Social Services will table an answer to the following question asked by Senator S.C. Ferguson –
"How many attempted suicides and actual suicides have there been over the past 5 years?"
- June 15, 2013 at 8:54 AM

I will be doing a follow up post on this very soon. Im awaiting the answer from the Health Minister on Tuesday. We are also doing some independent research that will take time but the truth will be told.

I met with Dr. Sharkey today in Ireland as he sat in to cover for another psychiatrist. He was insightful and empathetic. I found him funny and extremely helpful. Im sorry to hear so many disagree.

Rick Santorum suspended his campaign for President yesterday. His decision was probably a wise move. Although it was still possible for Santorum to catch up to Romney, it was highly unlikely. Romney holds a significant lead in the delegate count and most of the states voting on April 24. Mitt was even competitive in Santorum's home state of Pennsylvania. States holding primaries in May were favorable to Santorum, but it probably wouldn't have made a difference given Romney's lead. Although it wasn't the result he (or I) wanted, Santorum can be proud of the campaign he waged over the last year.
Santorum came out of nowhere to become a major factor in the race. He became the last non-Romney flavor of the month just days before caucusing began in Iowa, the first state to cast ballots and fortunately, the one where Santorum spent most of his time. He went on to win Iowa while Mitt Romney took New Hampshire and Newt Gingrich won South Carolina. After a slump in the polls, Santorum came back a second time to win the Missouri primary and caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota. However, after Newt Gingrich decided to stay in the race and split the conservative vote despite having no chance of winning the nomination, Santorum's task became that much more difficult.
Santorum has much to be proud of. When the race began, Santorum languished in the single digits of pretty much every opinion poll in the country, received little to no attention in the national media, and operated a campaign on a budget more suited to a campaign for student council. Despite those disadvantages and relying on his heartfelt conservative beliefs, he nearly gave the frontrunner a run for his money. Well done, Senator.

Museum Box is a virtual collection of items (pictures, videos, text, audio) that help to explore a specific topic. I like to compare it to the hope chest. Now, the hope chest has always been linked to the female gender only so it isn't 100% like that. However, it is a place to gather information and share it.
Getting Started
Step One: Setting up your account
Follow the steps to creating your account (the United States is considered International)
When filling in the registration form it asks for your school information. It may or may not find your specific school in the search; multiple teachers can have account at the same school. Make sure you don't connect your account with another teacher.
After completing registration, you wait. Once you have received your confirmation that your registration has been approved you can start having fun.
Step Two: Setting up your class
- Click on Museum Box
- Click on the tab Students
- Start adding students
- you can setup the students individually or by creating a CSV file
- you will need to give them a username and password
Step Three: How to create a box
The "guts" of Museum box: what does everything mean?
- how much information will you be gathering
- one cube has 5 sides - 5 pieces of information
- 1 layer
- 1 cube
- did not change color or texture
- your images that you upload
- images from the Museum Box gallery
- record your own
- use sounds from the Museum Box gallery
- create your OWN videos with a webcam
- upload videos created outside of museum box
- Click on the cube you want to work on - it will open in a new window
- you can label each cube if you wish but it isn't necessary
- when you are satisfied, click on OK
- Save
- Submit

This looks complicated, but is actually very simple (implementation may not be...).
1. PocketC now has the facility to callback from the shell into user functions (see atexit())
2. The basic windows controls are subclassed by the shell.
3. Most real windows event handling has to be performed from within the window procedure before it returns to windows, not at a later point.
I suggest:
1. A new function is added to the runtime:
pfOldEventFunction = setevent(iGuiId, iWindowsMessage, pfEventFunction) ;
iGuiId is a PocketC control or timer ID
iWindowsMessage is a real Windows message number
pfEventFunction is a pointer to a PocketC function, or NULL (0).
The return, pfOldFunction is either a pointer to a previous event function, or is NULL (0) if none.
The shell function adds a handler for a particular windows message for a particular control onto a list of handlers, returning the address of the previous handler if there was one. If the handler is already there then it replaces the handler. If the function pointer is null it removes the handler. The return of the previous handler function allows the user to build a chain of message functions (atexit should really do this as well).
2. In the window proc for the subclassed controls, BEFORE processing the message, call a function to check for a handler for that message on the control (need to translate window handle first), if there is a handler, call it through the same mechanism as the atexit function. Use the return value in the same way that windows does, to control whether PocketC carries on processing (and if PocketC doesn't handle the message pass it to the def win proc).
3. Provide a generalised window proc for the common controls, and subclass them as well. The generalised proc just needs to call the check for a handler code, then pass message to def win proc if appropriate based on return value.
If practical, the user callback function should be called as follows:
int MyEvent(int iGuiId, pointer pwMsg) ;
Where pwMsg is in the same format as in the eventmsg() function (this contains the real windows message number and the real window handle. Returns TRUE or FALSE.
The result of all this would be that user code could process windows messages in the correct context. The mechanism seems to be very simple given the code that exists in the shell already.
Does the PocketC threading model make this more difficult than it seems?

The book challenges the commercialized stereotype of princesses, who are all about fancy dresses, glittering jewelry, and good looks. Instead, it portraits a princess as someone empowered with courage, intelligence, independence, and a kind heart. Besides, the story also teaches children about the importance of teamwork, proper use of power, and the right attitude toward their privileges or endowments.
My children were instantly drawn to the book by its colorful pictures and then begged me to read it from beginning to end in one sitting. They absolutely loved reading the book with me. The story is well written, beautifully illustrated, and with the right blend of such captivating elements as magic, adventure, and super powers. I love the clever way in which the author delivers his message, which is easy for children to comprehend and will likely benefit them for the rest of their lives.
The Super Duper Princess Heroes is an awesome read for both boys and girls. It makes an excellent Christmas gift too. I look forward to finding out what fascinating adventures the girls will embark on next. You can grab a copy of the book at your local bookstore or online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Please visit www.superduperprincessheroes.com to learn more about the book and its author.

Dette huset står i California. Resultat av en totalrenovering og påbygging av et gammelt hus. Hele konstruksjonen ble omformet. Her bor en familie med to døtre og en bulldog. Moderne men familievennlig, er det ikke?
Here is a residence that I think inspires a homey and very friendly feel. With a highly interesting architecture, the Korman Residence by Cory Buckner Architects is located in Brentwood, California. This house was built for a family with two daughters and a bulldog which is also considered an important household member. This is the result of en an entire home remodeling. The architects completely turned around the overall look of the former project which was partially demolished., and reconfigured the design of the whole construction. Modern and inviting, don't you think?

jackson snapshot: mother's day.
oh, we definitely got the glasses memo
Living far from home [1,020 miles, to be exact] is hard sometimes. I'm sure any who have trekked out of their hometown for any prolonged period of time can relate: you miss birthdays, weddings, baby showers... the list goes on. That's why Mother's Day this year was so special: I got to spend it with my mother.
The day after Kara's graduation, we rose early & scooted over to her house, because for her, it was moving day. We carried boxes & mattresses downstairs, we fanned ourselves in the Mississippi heat & humidity, & sadly, not one photo was taken. Not even when we presented mom with her Mother's Day gift from Justin & me: a Japanese Maple for the yard back home at The Ontario House.
Luckily, though, we did think to snap a quick photo when we chowed down at Broad Street [our second visit of the trip - it's yummy] for Mother's Day lunch. Shortly after we ate, it was off to the airport & back to Wilmington, but the memories of this weekend stayed with me for long after.
Want to see more from Graduation Weekend?
fondren & happy hour
Today wraps coverage of our weekend in Jackson, Mississippi for Kara's graduation. I hope you enjoyed coming along. Next week, we will be revisiting Kara's trip to Wilmington, which came right after graduation weekend! She flew out the day after Mother's Day & spent a week with us. I'm looking forward to sharing our adventures here.

On August 1st 1984, Businessman and precious stone expert Günter Henrich and Roland Denzel, Goldsmith, Inventor and Engineer, incorporated their company as Henrich & Denzel GmbH located in Radolfzell; a small town perched on the shores of lake Constance shared by Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Both founders were fascinated by the coolness of platinum, a tenacious and technically challenging precious metal requiring but also offering new expressions of form. The motto of their venture was to create contemporary jewelry with a lasting design-quality to eventually become a classic. To achieve this goal, they defined the following Henrich & Denzel guidelines: «Concise contemporary expression of form» – «cultivated luxury» The Henrich & Denzel design is based on the Bauhaus tradition of perfected reduction to the essential and its outstanding quality of proportion, detail and material. It is continuously enhanced to include contemporary elements of modern design. Henrich & Denzel jewelry with its apparent simplicity raises emotions just as it does with its sensuous fluidity and softness, the result always being a sensation of esthetic beauty and perfection. Functionality and comfort of wear are inseparable aspects of this esthetic quest and countless prototypes are created and dismissed until a collection meets the ambitious criteria of Henrich & Denzel. Henrich & Denzel works exclusively with genuine base materials of highest purity provided by nature and the maintaining of a strict forthrightness in regards to metals and stones is a trademark.
It is at Henrich & Denzel, where the pride of accomplishment in a traditional trade, knowledge, expertise and state-of-the-art technology leads to perfection, strictly made in Germany. In more than two decades, Henrich & Denzel achieved to cultivate acorporate spirit of complicity and team-work, dedication, performance and dependability amongst it's highly qualified staff of individual crafts-men and women, which is apparent in every Henrich & Denzel product and which is continuously passed along to young trainees. Thus, the international reputation of Henrich & Denzel as a leading German Jewelry manufacture is a merit of the entire team contributing passion, character and pride to reach the highest goals.

i've had stomach pains since about midnight and couldn't sleep, overslept slightly but made it in time for school and still looked ok since mom gave me a ride, and then school was just shit. i were so tired since i had hardly slept and thus i fell asleep in math, and my stomach were hurting so much i began to have trouble breathing through half the day. and if that weren't enough i also felt really bad mentally and after math i began crying in front of my swedish teacher. hahah way to go nellie A+
but hey at least i made it through my 2 hour long oral swedish test yes good nellie 10/10
and i think i did good, tbh
i mean my organs were like bleeding or something inside of me during it so i better get a fucking A :)
but hey at least becca's party yesterday were fun!
i had a really hard time deciding what to wear, but in the end i went with the same good ol' stockings as before, my white lolita shoes, and a black little dress with lace at the collar ♥
and now after this worthless little whiny update, i think i'll return to the realm of my bed and hope for my stomach ache to go away ♥

Andrew Keen, the cult of the amateur This is one of the only things so far that I have found that is anti-open design. I am sure that there must be more, so these are not naive comments but in it he discredits the amateur journalist, fine but it is all in context of use, he describes open source as 'an amateur with surgeons tools doing surgery with just a pep talk'... umm interesting points, but do not agree.
had a great trip to Horizon in Nottingham to discuss a project ' the artefact cafe' very interesting and will update more when I can. This is going to be some of the initial work that is shaping my PhD.
There is allot in Hacking spaces, they are quite hard to access for the layman. There are also issues of Craft that are interesting, not in the the conventional sense, but the idea of making an object to a level that is above and beyond what it needs to be... taking pride in construction. There are many examples of what I have found but here are some of my favourite.

Combining elements of mystery and suspense with an exploration of the themes of friendship, mother-daughter relationships, marriage and infidelity, this book is the ultimate page-turner. From the back cover:
It's an idyllic New England summer, and Sadie is a precocious only child on the edge of adolescence. It seems like July and August will pass lazily by, just as they have every year before. But one day, Sadie and her best friend play a seemingly harmless prank on a neighborhood girl. Soon after, that same little girl disappears from a backyard barbecue—and she is never seen again. Twenty years pass, and Sadie is still living in the same quiet suburb. She's married to a good man, has two beautiful children, and seems to have put her past behind her. But when a boy from her old neighborhood returns to town, the nightmares of that summer will begin to resurface, and its unsolved mysteries will finally become clear.
While I didn't find Sadie as sympathetic as some heroines, I could certainly understand how she turned out the way she did. Growing up in an idyllic suburb of Connecticut, this daughter of a vain, alcoholic mother and an indifferent father is forced to practically raise herself. As the story weaves itself between past and present, the summers of 1974 and 1979 and then 2003, we begin to understand Sadie's grief, sorrows and longings. When her much-wanted infant is stillborn, she goes off the deep end and falls into the arms of Ray Filley, a shadowy character from her youth. As events unfold, it becomes more and more difficult to imagine a positive outcome for Sadie or her family. Which is why this book will keep you on the edge of your seat from its dramatic opening to its disturbing but ultimately satisfying conclusion! Five stars!

A Community For People Who Buy, Sell or Collect Antiques, Collectibles and Art
During today's garage sale, a woman manager to worm herself into the house and started looking through the glass cabinets. She found this in one and asked if I wanted to sell it because she collected caramel slag. I hadn't considered selling it until I researched it. Of course, prices on eBay are all over the place from $25 to $200. What would be a likely price to ask here in upstate NY?

Wow, new to me or I just never paid attention to any slag save for lamp shades(which, I can say, made me the life of the party many times!).
Wish I could assist.
Well, It's definatly Imperial Glass "Windmill" pattern. This was made in many colors, and was made back at the turn of the 20th century, and then again in the 1960's and 1970's when it became popular again.
If you have the Imperial marking, it is likely from the second wave. As such it would not be the Antique pieces that command much higher prices. It looks like the small creamer - so that too will affect your pricing. It really depends on you Lillian. What would you be happy with?
Here in MI. I'd prolly put $28 on it. Up to you though.
I checked it - it has the superimposed IG mark on the interior of the bottom. The exterior bottom has a ray pattern.
Yes, that would date it to the second period of production. Hope that helps you with your decision. :)

For the second year running, the UK leg of the Red Bull Air Race championships took place at Ascot Racecourse; a track that's more used to hosting horse racing than air racing. Staged over three days; Practice on Friday, Qualifying on Saturday and the Race on the Sunday, the weekend promised to be full of adrenaline and excitement for the capacity crowd.
Qualifying took place on the Saturday of the race weekend and determined the starting order for Sunday. For those unfamiliar with the format of the Red Bull Air Race, Race Day is broken down into three distinct rounds; Round of 14, Round of 8 and then Final 4, as described below:
As the race itself didn't start until mid-afternoon, there was a chance to get up close and personal with both the pilots and aircraft in the pit area. It was more than a little refreshing to be invited into most of the hangars for a chat and some unique photo opportunities, with most of the participants available to answer any queries.
It was also great to see so many people waiting at the fence to grab photos and autographs from their favourite pilots.
Race Report
The format of the Round of 14 means that those that perhaps didn't perform to the best of their ability during qualifying, effectively get given a second chance to proceed in the race and in the most extreme case can mean that the slowest person from Saturday knocks the fastest person out.
Importantly for the home crowd, there were two pilots flying the flag for Great Britain; Nigel Lamb of the Breitling Racing Team and Paul Bonhomme of Team Bonhomme, winner of the Ascot race in 2014 and leader of the 2015 championship.
Nigel Lamb went up against Kirby Chambliss (Team Chambliss) in Heat 5 and picked up a 2-second time penalty for 'Incorrect Level Flying' which meant that his chances of progressing to the next round were severely impacted. However, Chambliss then went on to pick up a similar time penalty in the last stages of his run and this meant that incredibly, Lamb was through to the Round of 8.
The rest of the field continued with their duals and after a particularly intense Heat between Matt Hall and Pete McLeod, Hall joined Muroya, Bensenyei, Ivanoff, Sonka and Lamb to take up his place in the Round of 8.
Qualifying fastest on Saturday, Paul Bonhomme was in the best position possible to crack on with getting the job done on Sunday but it wasn't going to be easy. Hannes Arch took to the sky first and set the fastest time of the day so far, putting his terrible qualifying behind him and guaranteed himself a place in the Round of 8. Bonhomme was under pressure to perform but just couldn't quite put his mark on the circuit and lost out to Arch by seven tenths of a second but fortunately for Paul and the team, his time was enough to get him through to the next round as the Fastest Loser.
After a short break, the Round of 8 got underway and saw Lamb facing off against Australia's Matt Hall. Lamb appeared to be in a world of his own as he posted his quickest time of the weekend but it just simply wasn't enough to beat a truly stunning performance from Hall which saw the Brit instantly knocked out.
Matt Hall joined Muroya and Ivanoff in the Final 4 with just the last place to be decided in Heat 7.
The Race format meant that Bonhomme was to face Arche once more and Paul put in a stunning time that set the bar high but unfortunately the crowd were robbed of that fight. For the second time in the weekend, Hannes Arch and UBFS Racing were unable to get their engine started and after running out of time were declared out; Bonhomme was through and within reach of the top prize.
Unlike the previous two rounds, the Final 4 is a straight fight and the best time wins. Bonhomme was set to fly last and it was looking like all he had to do was fly a clean lap as each of the finalists picked up time penalties, with Hall guaranteeing himself second place on the podium, setting a time of 1:09.024.
As Bonhomme started his run to the first gate, 29,000 people were on their feet cheering and clapping with encouragement for the home team. Eyes darted between watching Bonhomme fly tightly around the gates and to the big TV screens in front of the crowd. As Paul reached the final gate he was well within the green and meant that as he shot through the finish gate and into the vertical, he had completed his lap in a time of 1:06.416 – just under three seconds faster than Hall!
For the second time in two years, Paul Bonhomme claimed first place at Ascot and goes into Round 6 of the Championship with a lead of eight points over Matt Hall.
Filling The Gaps
Tasked with entertaining the massive crowd between the Rounds were the AAC Apache Helicopter Display Team, RAF Chinook Display Team and Breitling Wingwalkers.
2015 has seen the Apache team conducting a pairs role demonstration but due to the confined display line at Ascot, this was not possible. Instead a solo aircraft took to the sky and put the helicopter through its paces much to the delight of the crowd, many of whom had not seen the aircraft before judging by various comments that could be heard. The display may have lacked the explosive punch that we've become accustomed to over the last few months but it certainly did a good job of showing off the agility of the aircraft.
Having stunned the crowd with their gravity-defying routine in 2014, Red Bull invited the Chinook Display Team back to Ascot to once again demonstrate the incredible manoeuvrability of the tandem-rotor aircraft. Chucking the helicopter about the sky seemed to leave an incredible lasting impression with the crowd as almost everyone rose to their feet and applauded the team as they bowed and exited to land back on. There may have been no running landing in their display but the increased number of nose-down quick-stops seemed to go down well!
The Breitling Wingwalkers have been busy all over the world this year and incredibly, Ascot was the first time that I had seen them display this season. Unfortunately for the team, there was little wind and this meant that their smoke lingered on the display line for longer than was desirable but the full two-ship display still seemed to entertain the crowd.
The Venue
There's no doubt about it, Ascot Racecourse has a fantastic atmosphere and is an incredible place for flying but there is a lot about the venue that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
Like in 2014, it was as if no-one had told the people on the gates that this wasn't going to be a normal race day and when help was needed, a number of staff didn't appear to have the answers that were required. One particular member of staff on the entrance gates was heard telling a paying visitor that they were not allowed to bring their picnic in and that they must eat it all before they got in as 'his boss wanted them to spend their money inside the gates' – this wasn't a joke either, he was deadly serious. Similar reports of this sort of behaviour were also voiced on social media over the weekend, leading me to think that perhaps the guidelines for picnics needs to be revised for the event next year; especially when the prices of food and drink on the premises were higher than even the most expensive Airshows on the calendar. While there was certainly lots of variety, charging £8 for a single burger is unbelievably expensive when you've already paid £40 entry.
Ascot provided yet another fantastically exciting race weekend and I'm already looking forward to it again next year but certain aspects of the venue need to be refined if it's going to attract the same people back again.

Can We Trust Chris Ivory in Fantasy Football?
It's the backbone of every good relationship. Whether it's with a spouse, a business partner, or a roommate, unyielding trust almost always ensures success.
The same can be said for fantasy football. As owners, we are constantly looking for players we can trust.
If you are willing to start a player regardless of matchup, trends, projections, weather, or any other narrative, that's trust.
In recent years, it has become increasingly more difficult to trust running backs in the NFL. From 2000 to 2004, there were 50 running backs who logged over 300 carries in a season, an average of 10 per year.
From 2010 2014, only 18 running backs were handed the rock over 300 times, an average of 3.6 per year. A drastic dropoff, to say the least.
The 2015 season is no different. Entering week 7, only 4 running backs are on pace to carry the ball 300 times.
Of those four, Chris Ivory (6'0â€, 220 pounds) is the only one who has never logged a 300-carry season. In fact, Ivory's career high for carries came last season with the Jets, when he was handed the ball only 198 times.
There just aren't as many trustworthy running backs from a volume standpoint as there were 15 years ago. When we find one, we hold on for dear life. Try asking your league's Le'Veon Bell owner about a trade; I can hear them laughing from here.
In fantasy football, there is nothing more valuable than a trusted commodity. Has Chris Ivory done enough to earn our trust?
Season in Review
New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall recently announced that Chris Ivory is the best running back in the NFL.
While I am not in agreement with Marshall, Chris Ivory has definitely impressed through the first third of the season. Despite playing in only four games, his raw rushing numbers and associated ranks among 28 backs with at least 60 carries jump off the screen.
|Rushing Yards
|Yards per Carry
|Yards per Game
His Net Expected Points (NEP) ranks are equally impressive.
NEP is our signature metric at numberFire. Using NFL data dating back to 2000, we are able to quantify a player's ability to add or subtract from his team's expectation to score points. NEP allows us to consider a wide variety of variables to determine a player's true production and efficiency. More information about NEP can be found in our glossary.
Among the 28 running backs with at least 60 carries, Ivory still stacks up in terms of advanced numbers.
|Total NEP
|Rushing NEP
|Rushing NEP per play
|Rushing Success Rate
To exemplify Ivory's early-season dominance further, Ivory leads the league with 15 carries of 10 or more yards, per Rotoworld. Per Pro Football Focus, Ivory has gained 174 yards after first contact in the last two weeks. He's broken 20 tackles on 89 total touches, good for a broken tackle percentage of 22.5%. For comparison, last year's leader in broken tackle percentage was Marshawn Lynch, who averaged 27.8%, per Football Outsiders.
Let that all sink in for a moment.
This season, Ivory's average draft position was 67, per Fantasy Pros. That was good for low-end RB2 status. By NEP, Ivory has outperformed a laundry list of running backs drafted before him including, Adrian Peterson, Lynch, Eddie Lacy, Bell, Jamaal Charles, Matt Forte, Jeremy Hill, C.J. Anderson, and DeMarco Murray.
What we need to know is if Ivory can keep up this torrid pace over the next 11 weeks.
Blast from the Past
An undrafted free agent from Division II Tiffin University, Ivory was signed by the New Orleans Saints shortly after the 2010 NFL Draft.
Ivory's three-year tenure with the Saints was an up-and-down proposition. He flashed brightly in his rookie season, gaining 716 yards on 137 carries, good for an impressive 5.2 yards per carry. He also scored five touchdowns.
Of the 39 running backs with at least 125 carries that year, Ivory ranked sixth in Rushing NEP, Rushing NEP per play, and Rushing Success Rate.
His 2011 and 2012 seasons were marred by a variety of leg injuries, and Ivory combined to play in only 12 games those two seasons. He was still able to show off his ability as he averaged nearly five yards per carry across that span.
In the 2013 offseason, Ivory was traded to the Jets for a fourth-round pick -- solid compensation for a player who had never carried the ball more than 137 times -- was a perennial non-factor in the passing game, and was coming off back-to-back injury marred seasons.
In 2013, Ivory joined Bilal Powell to form a running-back-by-committee. While Powell outplayed Ivory as a receiver, Ivory was the better runner. He logged a career high 182 rushing attempts and ranked 11th in Rushing NEP and Rushing NEP per play among the 28 running backs with at least 175 carries.
In 2014, the Jets signed veteran Chris Johnson to bolster the running back corps. Despite this addition, Ivory again logged a career high in carries with 198. He also played in all 16 games for the first time in his career.
But as his workload increased, his effectiveness decreased.
Logging a career-low 4.1 yards per carry, Ivory ranked 16th in Rushing NEP and Rushing NEP per play among the 22 running backs with at least 175 carries.
Also, the Jets were terrible. Their 4-12 record led to the firing of head coach Rex Ryan. While it's hard to tell if Ivory's production was one of the reasons for the Jets' disastrous season, or the other way around, Ivory was clearly trending in the wrong direction.
New York State of Mind
In 2015, the Jets have a completely different look. Rookie head coach Todd Bowles and first-year offensive coordinator Chan Gailey have this team at 4-1 heading for a showdown with the undefeated Patriots in Week 7.
New offensive additions Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall have helped supplement one of the NFL's best defenses.
The running back position was overhauled as well. While Ivory and Powell remained, Chris Johnson was released. Zac Stacy and Stevan Ridley were brought in to provide additional depth.
Our metrics show that the Jets have been successful this year because of two components: their defense and their running game. The Jets rank within the top four in all team Adjusted Defensive NEP categories. Per ESPN, their defense leads the league in yards per game (269.2) and points per game (15).
Offensively, the Jets rank seventh in Adjusted Rushing NEP and schedule-adjusted Rushing NEP per play. They rank 25th in Adjusted Passing NEP per play.
Per Football Outsiders, the Jets' offensive line ranks ninth in run blocking.
It makes sense then, that the Jets are 31st in the league in pass to run ratio (1.06). Their defense is keeping games close, allowing the game script to favor Ivory's role and skill set.
The Jets are 4-0 this season in games Ivory has played. Missing week 3 with a quad injury, Ivory's first four opponents have been less than stellar. To date, none of his opponents rank higher than 13th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP.
Back to the Future
Going forward, the Jets' schedule remains favorable for the running game. By our metrics, only one opponent (Oakland in Week 8) ranks in the top 10 in schedule-adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP. In Weeks 13 through 16, fantasy playoffs in most leagues, New York faces Tennessee (31st), Dallas (21st), and New England (28th).
These juicy matchups will likely get Ivory owners all giddy. But it's fair to ask if a physical runner, keen on inviting contact and punishing defenders, is capable of holding up with a 300 carry workload. He's already missed one game this season with a quad injury.
It's clear that New York is committed to the running game. A new offensive coordinator, new supporting cast, and excellent offensive line have allowed Ivory to thrive in his current role as feature back.
Plus, the Jets are a good team. Our power rankings tab them as fifth in the league, and they have a 77.9% chance to make the playoffs, according to our projections.
We also peg Ivory to play as the sixth best running back for the rest of the season.
While we are heading into uncharted territory with Ivory's workload, he's playing like one of the best running backs in the league.
In a game where the running back position is more volatile than ever, we have no choice but to get behind Ivory.
He's earned our trust.

Mother's Day this year wasn't much of a relaxing one for me unfortunately. The hubby tore a ligament in his foot and also went and caught Man-Flu as well. He says he'll make up for it next weekend. I can choose something I want to eat and he'll cook it. I'm still deciding......
Right so I was to bring a dish to my brothers place where we would celebrate Mother's Day at his house this year rather than battling the crowds over yum cha or dinner. I was asked to bring a side dish. And since it's cold, so very very cold (my fingers are frozen just typing on the keyboard for this post), I decided to do a hearty side dish that's warming and filling. Couple of clicks later I settled on the Boston Baked Beans from the Taste website (recipe here).
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium brown onion, chopped
4 middle bacon rashers, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/3 cup golden syrup
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 x 400g cans borlotti beans, drained, rinsed
2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Heat oil in a flameproof ovenproof dish over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened.
Add bacon and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until bacon has browned.
Add paprika. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add sugar, tomato paste, golden syrup and worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until combined.
Stir in beans and tomato. Bring to the boil.
Bake for 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened and beans are heated through. Serve.
You know what, this would be great as a breakfast with toast and a fried egg. I personally found it a little too sweet for my liking but my dad approved (he had one of his molars taken out and could only have soft food so he enjoyed this with some rice....poor guy!)

I've made it through nine days with the BlackBerry Torch but I can't tell if this challenge is getting easier or harder. The low app selection is still frustrating but I've found a few more apps that I like. I downloaded a custom theme and a new lock screen. The idea of themes are nice but I wish they weren't so expensive. I guess I'm just used to Android where you can easily customize your device with free apps and themes. I'm also weary of customizing an OS too much, which is one of the reasons why I switched from Android to Windows Phone. My theory is If I don't like the way it looks, then why am I still using it? That doesn't make sense to everyone, but it's the way I feel.
I'm starting to accept what BlackBerry OS is and what it isn't. It's all about function, not form. It's not pretty but it works. Form is important to me. I've said this many times, I want my phone to be beautiful. BlackBerry was just not made for that. That's not a bad thing, but it just doesn't suit me personally. I'm starting to form the opinion that those who are fans of BlackBerry have never used another OS. True, the OS is functional - email works, it's great for social networking, and it has a great notification system. But every major OS on the market has those same great features and work just as well. Based on my experience thus far, there's nothing that puts BlackBerry over the top in those areas or in any other areas. So far, I don't see what all of the fuss is about.
I'm still keeping an open mind. Despite my frustrations and the fact that I've been very tempted to take my SIM card out of the BlackBerry and put in back in my phone, I'm not going to give up. Stay tuned for my next update. Hopefully I'll have more positive things to say.

Fabianski: I didn't need to bounce back
Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski insists his recent heroics were not about 'bouncing back' - and that he is improving all the time.
The Polish stopper shrugged off his blunder against Newcastle United to claim the plaudits in a hard-fought victory at Molineux, before a string of saves towards the end of the Gunners' 2-1 win at Everton ensured another three-point haul away from home.
And Fabianski insists that his form has been good.
"To be honest I have been playing for some time and not been looking bad in goal," said the 25-year-old.
"I was not happy about what happened against Newcastle but overall I have still felt in good shape."
The Gunners' keeper sees the experience as all part of the learning curve and believes his run in the side is helping him to improve.
"I was not thinking about 'bouncing back from Newcastle' and was only focused on having a good game here and helping the team.
"I think I'm getting experience which is really important for a keeper and the experience is helping me to prepare for another game."
The next task for Fabianski will be fending off the challenge of Manuel Almunia when the 33-year-old Spaniard returns to full fitness, but the younger shot-stopper is unconcerned.
"I don't know what will happen when Almunia is fit but I will keep doing my best and helping the team and we will see what happens."
