Kansas University and men's golf.
To outsiders, KU isn't known for its men's golf program. To find tradition-rich programs you need to go to the Arizona States, Georgia Techs and Dukes places where it is possible to play golf year-round.
Nevertheless, the Kansas program has been one of the nation's best during the last few years. In the fall of 1999, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 1 in the country for a week and spent the season ranked in the top 25.
KU also finished second in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma State, which won the NCAA men's golf championship that year, and boasted third-team All-American Ryan Vermeer.
Last season was not as kind to the Jayhawks who had a self-described "disappointing season."
Despite winning three tournaments the Kansas Invitational, Rice University Invitational and Stevinson Ranch Invitational and eight top-5 finishes, the Jayhawks placed seventh in the Big 12 Championship, 15th in the NCAA Midwest Regionals and failed to qualify for the NCAA Championship.
"Last year was real disappointing," returning senior Travis Hurst said. "We talked about winning the Big 12 and regionals and placing in the top five for nationals, but none of it happened. I don't know if it was fatigue or what."
Coach Ross Randall was surprised how his team crumbled toward the end of the season.
"The way the year went, they either played well or not good at all," said Randall, who has been KU's coach since 1980. "It's unusual for an older team to do that."
But just as that team went from good to bad last year, this season's team with the help of some incoming freshmen might do the opposite.
"The talent is there," he said. "But there is a big jump from high school to Division One golf. The fall semester is a learning process. With a little maturity we should be playing our best golf at the end of the season."
Randall said he expects Hurst to be the team's No. 1 golfer, but junior Chris Marshall could push for the top spot.
"Travis was one of the top 30 players in the country for most of the year," Randall said. "He fell out of it a bit at the end last year, but still was highly ranked."
Hurst said he knows why he faltered near the end.
"I was physically ready to play, but not mentally," the Erie senior said. "A few times when I was playing I realized that I was there on the course playing. I was not prepared mentally at all to play. But as for going into next season that's just going to motivate me. I know what I need to do."
Randall said he thinks Casey Harbour might be the team's third-best golfer, but there are some others who could reach that level, too.
"There are a couple of returners who might push for a spot," the KU coach said. "One guy is Tyler Hall. He played well in a few tournaments for us last year."
Another who could do well is incoming freshman Ryan Rainer. He was the men's golf state champion of Oklahoma's Class 6A the largest classification. Rainer won the title by five strokes.
Rainer attended Norman High, and Randall said he was able to whisk him away from the Oklahoma schools because he started recruiting Rainer before the other schools did.
"He was a highly recruited high school athlete who caught the attention of a lot of schools," Randall said. "He came to Kansas because I noticed him before the other schools did."
Pete Krsnich of Wichita should also help.
"He's been one of the top junior golfers in the state for several years," Randall said. "He's another one that wants to play as a freshman for us."
Still, nothing is guaranteed.
"I don't what to think of next season right now," Hurst said. "We lost two of our top five players to graduation and it seems like we were counting their scores every tournament. They key is for those other three to step up."

This box is definitely cool (although most of the presets really suck) and you can make some really good music with it. Still, it has a polyphony bug (even with the latest OS 1.07) which can be VERY annoying depending on what kind of music you use the box for. I suggest you took a look at my web page http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/deseguin/groovebug.html to find out about it. This bug isn't old news, it's definitely HOT NEWS !! Anyway, the box still deserves a 4 out of 5 mark. If Roland doesn't fix the bug, a 2 out of 5 would fit better.

This box is pretty revolutionary. I had OS 1.05 and upgraded to OS 1.07 and have found the 505 to be remarkable. Editing patches is easy, and despite being a rompler, it's fun. I think far too many folks are anal about having a true analog. If you treat the MC-505 as its own beast, and program it, you'll find it's a pretty rewarding machine to own. Definitely a must buy.

Very nice looking peace of equipment which I gave to my little brother to play with while he grow up and realise that sound are outdated (decade back) and drum sounds are samples from some analogue classics which will sound OK in a big hotel band gig or somewhere else where people can not notice the difference or if you are seriously high on cr*** like mr. Roomarang and not able to realise that. It does have a sinth engine from older Roland digi siths but for the money it is very expensive. E.G. in Japan was 600$US new for what I paid, so no serious damage there. Maybe this will look good to some people who still use old sinths from 80´s but you can achieve the same and better results with just a sampler and some kind of sequencer will do better that sequencer in MC-505 which is really basic.
BTW Yamaha RM1x is a awesome sequencer not found in any of workstations today. I am sorry Roomarang for your bad investment I was angry as well when I realised that MC-505 was a toy.

It is a good piece of equipment for the money. It is the end-all be all machine, no. I use the MC-505 as a counterpart to my XP-80 & K5000. You cannot sample, but you do have a great amount of control in sound creation. You can edit the drum kits. I like to use it as a sketch pad to write rhythms upon. It is fun instrument to play. Outside of Yamaha's own groove box, I don't see to many other devices that can do this much for around $1100 bucks (even less used). The sequencer is perfect for someone who is just getting started working with MIDI. I like it. Is it perfect, no. I wish it didn't use the smart cards, or at least used the more common cards. The sequencer could be better (or at least more like the XP-80). It would be cool if the filter could be put upon external sound sources. Overall, I like mine and have no regrets purchasing one. But, if I had to keep one piece of gear, I would keep my XP-80. 'nuff said.

|Tom S a professional user from Australia writes:
A lot of the reviews here are clearly from people who have never even used a 505, or have only ever played around with the thing for about 5 minutes in a shop. The fact is the 505 is very, very powerful once you learn how to use it.
The patch generation process is extremely complicated but simple to edit and can really pay off (tone control is awse), and although the sequencer might be a bit different to those of you who are used to Logic, Cakewalk or Cubase, in the end it is simple and powerful (a linear record mode would have been nice but working in 32 bar pattern "chunks" is a fine workaround for song writing).
This machine really comes into its own in live applications. Live I use it with a DJ-2000 (also Roland) and a crappy NAD deck and a T1210 deck; at home I use it with the aforementioned gear and a PC-200MKII MIDI controller keyboard (a piece of crap but it gets the job done). By using the two pairs of direct outputs from the 505 and running them into the 1st and 4th channels of the 2000 i can access the EQ and FX on the mixer for more sonic manipulation. (I run the mix outs on the 505 into the XLR line on the MIC1 channel of the 2000 via an adaptor cable... the 2000 wasn't meant for this but it works OK, just keep the mic1 volume WAAAY down or the mixer will top out)
If you are careful with the resonance and get the hang of the filter envelope you can come up with some very cool sounds... those who criticise the filter for being too digital and the synth for not having oscillators are expecting way too much from an 8 part synth (true the supernova has 8 parts with loads of FX but it has no internal sequencer and the reverb FX is pretty cheap... still the supernova is another awse synth (i have used the Supernova extensively and I used to own the standard nova and what a joy that was... I sold it after i left home because no longer had access to a reasonably fast computer for seq. duties and lacked funds to purchase a new one... :-(
ATM I use my 505 live in conjunction with a partner who owns a Korg EA-1 and a Vestax pro 08 mixer and two T1200's. The Korg is great for lead synth lines but in terms of backing leads and straight bass etc the 505 is really just as good, and has 8 parts + RPS as opposed to just two. Still to any one who owns any analog/analog emulation gear (except maybe analog rhythm synths, which in my opinion the 505 can easily replace) and is considering selling it to buy a 505... KEEP THE ANALOG GEAR and continue saving for a 505... you will find the two pieces will complement each other and will have a combined value far more than the sum of their parts.
Looking over the reviews on this page, it is shocking to notice the number of people who have judged the machine solely on the preset patterns & patches. These simpletons are most likely the sought of people who looked at the machine in the shop for five minutes, or who purchased it simply because they liked the false sense of creativity they achieved when tapping the mute buttons on a preset button... a thrill that would no doubt wear off pretty quickly. Like any machine, the 505 has its strengths and its weaknesses.
It's strengths are its use of cycling patterns and RPS (both great for the live performer or DJ), its multiple outputs which are great for external FX, its impressive recording options (step 1 is a bit dodgy but step 2 is great, just like on a TRx0x, and the realtime mode is typical of hardware synths; MIDI microscope is where a mix can be perfected), and its pattern editing features (individual note hits can be deleted and transposed, copied between patterns, overall gate and velocity times can be adjusted for a whole part in a single edit, etc; i.e. you can perform edits that a lot of computer -based sequencers can't even perform. As I said before, patch creation is excellent, just be careful with your filter envelope & LFO Filter depths and LFO rates and be precise with the resonance levels.
One of its major weaknesses in my mind is the ridiculous amount of time it takes to actually save a pattern or a patch. A patch is made up of less than 1000 parameters... that is a hell of a lot for a person to edit, but nonetheless it is really not much at all in terms of stored information on the 505 internal disk... I am not sure what sought of processor the 505 is using but the write speed is longer than it should be, although you do get used to it. The machine has also been criticised because its sequencer can get kind of unresponsive when playing back a pattern with loads of CC changes etc... usually an application of the data thin function will get around this and wont cause any noticeable change in the sound of your pattern.
On the weakness side of the machine, most of these have already been mentioned: most of the preset patches suck, with very few of them having predefined modulation values etc... like I said before, patch generation should always be approached with a DIY attitude, but nonetheless the lazy programming on the preset patches is still pretty shocking. It is rare to find one using tone control, XFM, an active LFO2, comprehensive envelope parameters (most preset patches are just constructed from the 5 sliders on the front panel, without change to the other envelope parameters only accessible from the patch menu), pitch bend parameters or mod parameters. The majority of the preset patterns are crappy as well, with some occasional nice programming but generally having no real emotion to them. Also, the D-beam is useful, but is nowhere near as useful as the hype makes it out to be. It's best use is probably the function that triggers a note of your choice and then controls pitch bend once your hand has passed over it. It is useful for modulation and pitch bend, but I still think a lever on a controller keyboard is of more use.
One point worth mentioning is the criticism the 505 has received for its lack of expendability. First of all, the wave boards that Roland makes for its JV and XP series synths can be purchased as completely external boards (which are a little bit more pricey than the internal boards but give you more polyphony), and the 505 can be used to build patches and play patterns on these external boards. I borrowed the Roland M-VS1 board from a failed producer with a hobby studio (hope you r reading this Jez... :-)) and it worked great with the 505.
It's major competition comes in the form of the Roland JX-305 and the Yamaha RM1X. True, the JX-305 has a few more waveforms, but most of these are "real" instrument samples that a dance music producer is unlikely to use, and the 305 has no extra outputs and has less realtime controllers (no part mixer - the CC knobs can be used as a mixer but this still involves pressing extra buttons, extra hassle). The 305 might be more attractive to beginners due to its built in keyboard, but anybody who has been writing trax on MIDI machines for a few years should already have a controller keyboard of some description for use with the 505. As for the RM1X, its major shortcoming, like the 305, is its lack of extra outputs. However, the Sequencer on the RM1X is a lot easier to get to grips with initially, and the time stretch function on the sequencer is pretty cool. The fact that the sequencer on the RM1X is 16 parts means it is possible to be able to use only one pattern to write a whole song (something pretty much impossible with the 505's 8 part sequencer), but then you can overcome this on the 505 by stringing patterns together. Importantly, the RM1X has no RPS function, not a major problem for a guy looking to write trax at home but a big piss off for a DJ or live performer. And no, I'm not even going to comment on the JV synthesis (used by the 505) vs. the AWM2 synthesis (used by the RM1X), except for saying that neither method can stand up to analog/analog modelling, and the 505 synth does have twice as many voices as the RM1X synth. Some people have also compared the 505 to the two Korg electribes, but I don't think this is a realistic comparison as the Electribes both use their analog modelling as their strengths, and as such are designed to play very different roles to the 505.
In short I would say that the 505 gets a well deserved 5 stars. Although a handmade patch can sound great, a well made sound on an analog/analog emulation synth will still knock the 505 around... but there are no analog/analog emulation synths with onboard 8 part sequencers and RPS functions... The 505 is compact, sounds great (especially if you output the bassdrum, claps, hats and bass to a separate channel from the rest to a mixer with EQ, then EQ up the top and bottom frequencies), has a sequencer which might be a little different to the norm but is still bery powerful, and absolutely kicks ass in the live arena. I would recommend it to anyone, especially to someone who owns a one or two part analog modelling synth (like the JP-8080, JP-8000, Korg EA-1) looking for a machine to provide backing rhythm, chords, hits etc, or a DJ looking to spice his/her set up. For the obscenely rich who don't like using computer sequencers, you could even use the sequencer on the 505 to control a Novation Supernova... that would make for a pretty awesome live setup I'd imagine.

Alabama vs. LSU: fascinating in conception, excruciating when viewed on television. This is the third "Game of the Century" in the past 13 months. Most had seen enough after the first. This may be the meeting fleet young fellows finally advance the oblong ball forward. This may be the meeting we plunge into uncharted depths of nothingness. Either way, Gary Danielson will enjoy it.
Juxtaposition: Discussing this game proves impossible without dissecting the coaching matchup between Les Miles and Nick Saban. Both have brought extended success. Both have won at least one BCS titles. Both, in their distinct ways, are cartoons. Miles is pure bravado. His eyes have a perverse salesman's glimmer (did he just wink at me?). He has a hard time registering losing. It's incongruous. It's not in his "What Would Bo Do" handbook. Saban is the near opposite. He's dark, shriveled and shrouded by his insecurity. You can feel the obsession and the tension eating at him. He does not celebrate wins. He stops clenching. The methodologies are different. Their records against each other, 3-3, are the same.
Testosterone: Alabama has the nation's best offensive line. LSU has the nation's best defensive line. Those units may have seven first round draft picks combined. That's not diving into the Freshman who might get there. This will be man ball at its apex. To find weaknesses we must nitpick. The Tide have had some breakdowns on the right side in pass protection with D.J. Fluker. The draftniks would point out Barkevious Mingo's production has not quite matched his athleticism. One of the two showing up could turn the battle.
Turnovers: The Tigers' offense won't win them this game. They must win the field position battle through turnovers. LSU is 10th nationally in turnover margin. Creating turnovers and key spots won the South Carolina and Texas A&M games. Losing the turnover margin against Florida cost them. This won't be easy vs. Alabama. The Crimson Tide are fifth nationally with just six turnovers in eight games. A.J. McCarron has not thrown an interception this season.
The Schedule Strength: Both SRS and Sagarin credit Alabama for playing a tougher schedule. That's misleading. LSU played minnows such as Towson, North Texas, Idaho and Auburn. That drags down their rating, but they have also won two of three against Florida, South Carolina and Texas A&M, three of the SRS top eight. The Crimson Tide opponents may average out better, but their three best have been Michigan, Mississippi State and Tennessee. One got within 20 points.
The Nightmare: Alabama vs. LSU was expected to decide the BCS Title or, like last season, be an inconclusive blip as both teams marched to the title game. This year, with Florida beating LSU and a number of qualified undefeateds, an LSU upset might eliminate both schools. The title streak would end, without an SEC team to defend it in the game.
Interesting Stat… LSU has been shutout three times in its last 244 games. All three were against Alabama, in the state of Louisiana, at night.
Odds: Some numbers via RJ in Vegas. This is the 36th straight game in which Alabama enters as the favorite. This is only the second time this season the spread has been less than 20 points (Michigan). It has been more than a decade since LSU was this great an underdog at Tiger Stadium.

Wells Fargo plans asset-management expansion abroad
Updated 2:08 pm, Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Wells Fargo will double its $444 billion asset-management unit within seven years by expanding in international markets as wounded European rivals retrench, according to division chief Mike Niedermeyer.
The firm will add foreign stock and bond strategies to its U.S.-based mutual-fund unit, open six more Luxembourg-based funds for offshore clients and wrest business from competitors, Niedermeyer said. The San Francisco bank, the biggest U.S. home lender and owner of the nation's largest branch network, also seeks to buy a business that would give clients greater access to handpicked hedge funds, he said.

Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf, 58, is plowing resources into businesses such as asset management as new global bank regulations and record-low interest rates crimp profit.
"We're at a tipping point for the industry," said Andrew Karolyi, a finance professor at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management. "You have seen some banks saying they want to double down while you have others saying we want out. Asset management, as a business, is as tough as it's ever been."
Institutional clients
Asset management serves institutional clients such as pensions and endowments, sovereign-wealth funds and corporations. It's separate from the bank's wealth-management unit, which houses Wells Fargo's retail brokerage and manages funds for individuals.
Wells Fargo, with JPMorgan Chase, is among the last of the major U.S. banks to own a mutual-fund business, managing about $215 billion in money-market and mutual funds under the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds name, Niedermeyer said. The business was bolstered by Wells Fargo's 2008 purchase of Wachovia Corp. and its Evergreen Investment Management Co. unit, which added $67 billion in assets.
"Having a model and consistent long-term strategy is a key issue," said Niedermeyer, who joined Wells Fargo 24 years ago. "If we do great work, we will grow faster than the industry."
The Advantage Funds attracted or appreciated by about $14 billion in the year ended March 31, making it the 17th-largest fund family, according to Morningstar. The fund had $101 billion in long-term assets at the end of the first quarter. An additional $109 billion was held in money-market funds.
Fees seen as high
Wells Fargo, the fourth-biggest bank by assets in the United States, will have to overcome a perception that bank- and insurance-owned mutual funds are among the most expensive, said Harry Milling, a Morningstar analyst. The company has "found religion" more than others, yet still has work to do, he said.
"When you talk to board members of bank-owned funds, you hear they want to be competitive as far as fees," Milling said. "You don't hear them wanting to be the lowest in the industry. That's not their game."
Niedermeyer wagers that Wells Fargo can woo institutional clients from European firms grappling with that region's sovereign-debt crisis. The lender has eight salespeople in Europe and plans to add five more, he said.
Wells Fargo, which manages only about $2 billion in offshore funds, can challenge firms such as BlackRock and Pimco to be within the top 20 in the next five years, he said. The bank could sell other products, including those that can be pitched to small-and medium-sized college endowments.
'Mission creep'
Growth may invite scrutiny. Mike Mayo, an analyst at CLSA Ltd., questioned executives on the bank's earnings call last month about whether investment-banking expansion represents "mission creep" from their core commercial-banking business.
"Wells is quite focused on trying to revive that banking-supermarket approach," Aite's Schmitt said. "This is an expansion of that model."
As recently as the 1990s, brokers, banks and insurance companies dominated the top 20 spots among U.S. mutual fund families, when money funds are included in total assets.
It hasn't always worked out. Citigroup is partially dismantling itself after ex-CEO Sanford Weill tried to sell savings accounts, insurance and investments in the 1990s. It sold its money-management business to Legg Mason Inc. in 2005.

Introduction to a local Savings Group, Sierra Leone.
Hello from Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone. I've been here for the past few days with World Vision UK, finding out how money donated in the UK has made a difference in a small rural community nearby. We stayed in Freetown on the first night, the largest city in Sierra Leone and the next morning traveled around 150 miles to Bo, the landscape changing from city to lush green palm-tree filled views as we went.
We've been visiting a community Savings Group that founded farms during the Ebola crisis - and received a warm welcome!
The Savings Group is at the heart of this community, and everything we saw and everyone we met during our time here has been affected by the Savings Group in some way. So here's a short introduction to the group.
Mariama explained to us that before the Savings Group started, they would grow and pick cassava leaves, packaging them into sacks to carry to a nearby factory. They would get little money per sack and life was a struggle.
The local factory that bought the sacks of cassava leaves is run by a strong woman, Mariama told us, who we'll come to meet in another post to follow. It is this strong woman who first introduced the community to World Vision. World Vision became involved in the community, providing a savings box, training for the people on how to use it, business skills, money budgeting and management and cassava processing equipment.
The Savings Group is made up of 25 members of the community. All the members put 2,000 leone into the box each week. They then loan out money, with interest rates, to people in the community who apply - the interest going back into the box. Once a year the 25 members split the balance of the box between themselves, and then start afresh for the next year.
We were lucky enough to be at the annual payout this week, I'll be sharing photos and tales of what some of the people will be spending their payout on in a post soon. I'm really looking forward to sharing this as it was a big celebration in the community and a really happy moment to be part of.
One example of how money borrowed from the box is used is buying palm oil or cola nuts at a time of the year when the prices are low and then selling them when the prices rocket later in the year. This gives families much needed income to feed, clothe and school their children.
I'll be sharing lots more, including stories, when I get home. We're heading back tomorrow and I can't wait to share my photos with Kitty and Oz. In the meantime, here's some photos from the first visit to the Savings Group from day 1...
Thank you to those who have sent messages of support and have shared support on social media - it means a lot x

Ketchikan man charged with arson
Sound off on the important issues at
KETCHIKAN - A man suspected of starting five fires near Ketchikan in 2003 and 2004 has been charged with burning down a home in July.
Marcus R. Anderson, 26, was charged Thursday with first-degree arson in the destruction of an unoccupied house in Saxman.
The charges in 2003 and 2004 were dismissed for lack of timely prosecution.
Twenty-two firefighters responded to the July fire. One was injured and treated at Ketchikan General Hospital, according to Alaska State Troopers.
The South Tongass Volunteer Fire Department told troopers Aug. 8 that the Coho Road fire was considered suspicious because no power was supplied to the house and it had not been occupied for several years.
Investigators determined the fire started when an incendiary device or material was applied to a wad of newspapers.
Court says men can press abuse claims
FAIRBANKS - Six men who claimed they were abused decades ago by a now-dead Catholic priest can argue that the statute of limitations has not expired, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled.
Justices on Friday said the men can make their claim that a statute of limitations does not apply for events that date as far back as 1954.
The six men number among 20 unidentified men who claim they were sexually abused as children by the Rev. Jules Convert, a French Jesuit priest employed by the Fairbanks diocese from 1942 to 1980. Of the 20 complainants, two have settled out of court with the diocese.
Both sides of the case have been waiting almost two years for the state's highest court to rule on the statute of limitations question.
Convicted murderer sentenced to 42 years
ANCHORAGE - A man convicted of killing two people in separate shootings was sentenced to 42 years in prison under a plea agreement worked out with prosecutors.
Antonio Garrison, 42, who killed two people months apart more than five years ago, will spend at least 28 years in prison, counting what he has served.
Garrison was sentenced Friday for killing Paul Clinton, 40, a used car dealer, and Tawni Williams, 50, described by relatives and friends as a giving person.
Garrison pleaded no contest in April to two counts of second-degree murder.

Best tip learned from another 'soccer parent': Keep towels in the car and gallon size baggies in the soccer bag for those wet muddy games. Use 33 gallon garbage bags as mudguards on the floor of the car.
Best tip I can give: Invest in a Dry-Guy boot dryer. Most hunting catalogs have them and they are very cheap in the spring when winter hunting is over. They will dry out two pairs of cleats or a pair of cleats and GK gloves in about 3 hours…usually just enough time between matches at a tournament.
Friendship- A close bond
By Susan Boyd, special contributor to YouthSoccerMonth.org
Author Dame Rose Macaulay wrote, ""We know one another's faults, virtues, catastrophes, mortifications, triumphs, rivalries, desires . . . We have been banded together under pack codes and tribal laws."" Sounds like a bunch of soccer players and parents to me!
Here in Wisconsin the vast majority of high school and club soccer games are played in the rain. All too often ""the world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful"" as E.E Cummings tells it. As my sons and their teammates emerge from the muck and stride towards my automobile I get flashes of Lord of the Flies and wonder if they will form their own tribe while lost on a soccer field island foraging for orange peels and half finished water bottles on the sidelines. Then I snap to and worry about my leather seats and floor mats.
I love being a fly on the wall (yes another fly reference) during those carpool trips when the boys are jostling around the back of the car, analyzing the game, arguing about relative super hero abilities, and then bursting into laughter because (how can I put this delicately) someone ""tooted."" This is the stuff of friendship. It can happen to chess team players, and choral groups, and girl scouts. Friendship is that bond we all form over the nothingness of life that matters so much. Add in the opportunity to win a game or conquer the elements and you have even more common ground.
Many avenues exist to good friendships, but soccer does provide a strong foundation for the formation of lasting relationships. Robbie regularly spends time together with two soccer buddies that he didn't play with for two or three years. They carpool together to school and now all three are on their varsity high school team. But even in the interim when the three played for three different clubs they maintained their friendship and their support of one another. Decisions about leaving a club team included whether or not they wanted to leave each other.
When players have a passion for their sport, they share a strong bond. Bryce once announced about a teammate, ""I am so into Chris and he is so into me."" Bryce was right. Even though Chris eventually chose sports other than soccer and moved about 45 minutes away, he and Bryce remain friends. Bryce brought a friend home to do a school project and was shocked that I didn't recognize the boy from their six year old team. I reminded him that they had both grown about 2 feet taller and had facial hair.
Youth Soccer Month is nearly over, but it is a great springboard to renewing a love of soccer, enjoying the exercise, and sharing some family experiences. It's also a great time to make new friends and explore new challenges. My grandchildren are just beginning to participate in organized sports. When I watch them out on the field running around, often with little idea of how the sport is actually played, I am delighted with their joy and their intensity. Being able to tell them they did a great thing on the field or give them hug after a practice brings me tremendous satisfaction. I also find it hard to believe that my own children were ever that small and ever that bouncy. At dinner my oldest grandson was discussing his team and detailing to his parents who were his friends on the team. He mentioned a dozen names, paused, and then said, ""I can't remember the names of the rest."" That's exactly the way it should be. You should have so many friends that you can't even remember their names…you just know you like them and they like you. It's a great feeling to be part of a circle of friends. As Winnie the Pooh says: Friends are like smakerals of fun. You can never have too many.""
FAMILY – (Multiple) Ties that Bind
By Susan Boyd, special contributor to YouthSoccerMonth.org
Perhaps the moon was in the seventh house or Jupiter was aligned with Mars, but the last weekend of August, we experienced a bizarre occurrence in the Boyd household. There was absolutely no soccer scheduled – no games, no practices, no team photos, no picnics, no travel, no soccer at all. As the realization washed over us that we could actually do things that the other families on our court do every weekend, we scrambled to discover what those things might be and organize to get them done. We could go bike riding, fly kites, read the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Harry Potter books, mow the lawn (yeah, right), Bar-B-Q, sleep in, paint the hallway (maybe not), take a nap, watch the Brewers, visit friends, or throw Frisbees. The possibilities for family time were endless.
We had just returned from a ten day trip to California to participate in the Red Bull League for Robbie and to get Bryce settled into the University of San Francisco. While in California we visited several colleges, went to the beach, saw our grandkids/nephews and nieces, went out to dinner, shopped the outlet malls, drove through Napa Valley and across the Golden Gate, played a trivia game, visited friends, drove along the craggy Big Sur, and trekked through San Simeon. We also managed a few chores along the way. We did our laundry in a Monterey Laundromat and set up a bank account for Bryce.
While on this trip Robbie and a teammate bunked together. Because his team travels so often, parents aren't always able to travel along, so occasionally Robbie invades another family or we take on an extra son or two. Bryce regularly used to trade off with his teammate Taylor. Some weekends we might have one son and other weekends we might have four sons. Each soccer weekend fills up with activities such as movies, go-carting, sightseeing, taking naps, and the most favorite activity of all – stuffing a hotel room with ten boys shouting at a video game.
Soccer has given our family the chance to see dozens of U.S. cities. We probably wouldn't plan trips to most of our soccer locations, yet at each we've discovered great things to do as a family. In Indianapolis we visited the NCAA Hall of Champions and the Children's Museum. In Dallas we went down to Dealey Plaza and the Book Depository Museum. In Tampa we discovered the sponge fishing village of Tarpon Springs where we ate Greek food and watched the boats go in and out of the harbor. On the other hand, when the boys want to venture off with their soccer friends' families, that's okay too. Family life has a safe fluidity in the soccer community. Our experience is that most soccer families consider all the teammates extended kin.
So here's where I call upon the clichéd to make a point. (And I'm just weak enough of a writer to do it too.) In point of fact it is the quality of family time not the quantity that defines your family (first cliché in case you missed it). And families aren't just the nuclear kind (second cliché). Clichéd or not, these statements are all true. What we did that soccer free weekend wasn't so different from what we do as a family on the soccer weekends. It's just easier to avoid mowing the lawn when you're 300 miles away from home.
In danger of stretching these clichés too far, soccer improved the quality of our family time by adding some life lessons. Going to soccer events as a family we have learned to support one another in good times and in bad. When the boys just want to sit in the back seat and steam over a loss, we learn to respect that silence. ""I don't want to talk about it,"" is much easier to deal with when the speaker can go to his room and slam the door and nearly impossible to support when everyone is cramped in an automobile driving 380 miles home from Des Moines. So we have learned, even if we haven't totally perfected it, the art of silence. On the other end of the spectrum, the cheerleader aspect of being a soccer parent opens the door to remembering that kids need approval off the field too. While we quickly can say, ""I'm proud of you,"" for a great play, we have learned to carry our enthusiasm over to school work, cleaning rooms, and helping out.
Granted any sport can provide the same ""family"" attributes that soccer offers, but I still think soccer is unique because of the amount of travel teams do and the year-round aspect of the sport. All this familiarity and togetherness could breed contempt, but we have experienced the opposite. The team family tends to work as a cohesive unit with ties that are only broken if someone leaves the team or the team reaches its natural conclusion. When Bryce played his last club team game in May, we parents stood around looking like lost lambs. It suddenly hit us that the family we had formed as a team over the course of up to ten years was going to end that day. While many of us would continue our friendships outside of the soccer games, that enclave of sideline supporters would never again be an interrelated unit sharing the ups and downs of the game, looking out for each other's children, and finding agreement on the important issues of fouls and offside calls. Here's my third and final cliché – it does take a village to raise a child. But I'd like to paraphrase it and say it takes a gaggle of soccer parents to raise a team. The soccer team family works well as a unit and each soccer family within the team family enjoys nuclear and extended family activities.
So what did we do that free weekend? Well it was raining, so we had a good excuse. We watched soccer. After all, wouldn't you watch your extended family if they were on national TV?
FUN - Priceless
By Susan Boyd, special contributor to YouthSoccerMonth.org
My very first experience with soccer came on a dismal dripping October morning in Frankfort, Germany. I attended a Gymnasium there (which means high school and not gym) and we had sport once a month on a Wednesday. Ironically we traveled about thirty minutes by street car to a real gym in order to do our sport. This month was soccer – outdoors in the mud. Not exactly the set-up one would expect for fun.
I had no knowledge of the game and even less skill. It was a trial by mud and thunder. This was in the days when I could actually run, kick, and get up off the ground. I didn't own cleats, but all the boys had them in their bags, so the girls spent more time slipping and sliding than the chaps. I am left footed, so that made me an automatic celebrity. I played left midfield, which meant most of the midfield was left on me. After the game the entire muddy lot of us boarded our various streetcars and headed for home. None of the riders gave us a second look, although they did give us a wide berth. That's when I began to notice how often on the street cars there were kids in their soccer kits cradling a well-used ball and talking about this player or that play. I still smile as I write this remembering how much fun I had.
I was hooked. I began to follow the teams – everyone in my class agreed that Bayern Munchen was the best – they won the German Cup that year and the European Cup – though we did respect the home team Eintracht Frankfurt. I skipped school, with permission, to attend a game (or three). I began to appreciate the athleticism of the players and the artistry of the sport. Soccer gave me, a garbled German-speaking American, the common ground upon which I built friendships and a reason to read the paper and watch TV. Soccer was fun, and not just to play. It was fun to talk about, fun to watch, fun to share, fun to criticize, fun to savor.
I can easily claim soccer as the basis of dozens of my best memories. Though far too old and creaky to play, I can leave that to the younger enthusiasts while I sit back and enjoy the ballet of tactical movements, the theater of fouls, the opera of protests, and the comedy of errors.
When my oldest son, Bryce, was first learning soccer, he would snatch the ball and bulldoze down the field. Then with a mighty swish he would kick the ball towards the goal and land on his derriere. This process would be repeated each time he would shoot. Parents on the sidelines enjoyed the fierce determination of the kick and the subsequent purposeful drop to his rear. After a few games, I couldn't resist. ""Bryce, do you think you have to fall down every time you kick the ball?"" He looked at me dumbfounded. ""No."" ""Then why do you do it?"" ""Because it's fun!""
I remember that whenever I find myself getting frustrated at a game. Or when I have the urge to ""coach"" from the sidelines. Or when our team is losing. Or when we have to sweep the snow off the sidelines in order to have a game. Or when we are sitting in the car waiting out a lightning storm for the third time in just 10 minutes of play. Or when we blow a tire on the way to a tournament. Or during any of the dozens of not so great moments. No matter what, soccer is supposed to be fun for the kids, for the teenagers and for the parents. Soccer IS fun. We need to find the fun and relish that above everything else.
Three years ago we went to see my old favorite Bayern Munchen play my new favorite Manchester United at Soldier Field. I had procrastinated getting tickets, so I was shocked when we got second row on the center line – apparently procrastination has its advantages when they release last minute VIP seats on the day you decide to get tickets. Bryce and Robbie were beside themselves with anticipation. Our family reveled in our good fortune to be just feet away from soccer players of the caliber of these men. However, as the line-up was announced thousands of fans began to boo. Around us we heard everyone complaining, ""They aren't even playing the good players."" The entire game the crowd continued to complain and boo occasionally. I suppose if you cataloged the cost, tickets $150, t-shirt $25, scarf $35, soda $5, you might be persuaded to consider the day a bust. But as the ad says, the priceless moment was coming.
Regulation time ended up tied. They went straight to a shootout with Oliver Kahn in goal for Bayern. My goalkeeper son was enthralled. This was going to be the best twenty minutes of soccer he had ever experienced. He was 200 feet away from a goalkeeper icon performing the top feat of goalkeeping. I could hear him hold his breath as the kicker approached the spot. I watched him leap out of his seat as Kahn made a save. Priceless. I actually don't remember who won. It didn't matter. We were having fun.
FITNESS - Fit is not just a noun
By Susan Boyd, special contributor to YouthSoccerMonth.org
It's September and besides the last days at the pool, the first day of school, and the on going attempt to squeeze in just a few more of those outdoor projects, it is also Youth Soccer Month. Each week is a theme and this week, it is ""Fitness.""
If you know me, you know that I am probably the worst example of fitness anyone could find. If you looked up fitness in the dictionary, you would find my picture in a red circle with a big diagonal slash through it and the word, WARNING flashing underneath. I am of ""a certain age,"" do my dining at restaurants that always ask ""Do you want fries with that?"", have a sedentary job, and take ibuprofen three times a day for back and knee pain. Whoever would be the poster girl for fitness lives in a parallel universe to mine. That being said, I still think I can offer some insights based on my recent fitness experiences. Read and then go do otherwise.
It is not that I don't want to be fit. But for me, the emphasis is definitely on the word ""fit"" as in ""how do I fit exercise into my life?"" Several years ago I came up with what I thought was a brilliant solution. I have a busy life, but I always attend my kids' games. So to squeeze some fitness in I began walking around the soccer fields before games started. I figured out that six trips around a standard adult soccer field equaled more than a mile in walking. I set up my chair on the sidelines, and while my sons ran their cross-field warm-ups and did their pre-game small-sided scrimmages, I could get a mile or two in of walking. It lasted just three games. Both my boys protested vehemently. ""What do you think you're doing? Everyone is looking at you."" When I tried to plead for my health, they would have none of it. Clearly I had to find another solution.
I do walk our two dogs every day. You might be saying, ""Well, Susan, there you go. Walking dogs is great exercise."" You might say that . . . until you met my dogs. Their names are Caramel (because she is orange) and Cobi Jones. Caramel suffers from just about any type of anxiety that exists. She once ate the seven foot cushions on our couch in a fit of separation anxiety. Cobi suffers from acute happiness. He honestly believes that every car, truck, motorcycle, bike and/or scooter has come out to play with him and makes it his goal to greet them head on no matter the speed or circumstances. Walking the two of them is like corralling a tornado. I can't get through the ordeal fast enough. Oh, try doing it in January with an inch of ice on the roads.
My real wish is to have a treadmill that I absolutely pledge to use every morning for at least 20 minutes. The problem with this solution is that I have been wishing for seven years. One day I may actually go to a store and buy one.
So for now I rely on the brief and chaotic dog walks, parking my car away from the fields and walking to them, sneaking in a few circuits of soccer fields a distance from my boys' eye view, and working on making that commitment to buy a treadmill. I know what I need to do…the trick is to actually ""fit"" it in.
We look forward to reviewing your comments!

Governor Cuomo Announces Accelerated Road and Bridge Projects on Long Island as Part of NY Works Program
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced an additional and accelerated $40,686,000 investment for nine NY Works projects that will repair 86 miles of roads and six bridges on Long Island. For the transportation component of NY Works, the Department of Transportation (DOT) reviewed its Capital Program and identified those projects, which can be accelerated by utilizing either the conventional design-bid-build project delivery mechanism or the newly-enacted design-build project delivery method.
NY Works will reinvent state economic development with an innovative new strategy that will put New Yorkers back to work rebuilding the state's infrastructure. The Task Force will create tens of thousands of jobs by coordinating comprehensive capital plans, overseeing all investment in infrastructure projects, and accelerating hundreds of critical projects across the state.
"For the second straight year, New York State has worked and passed a balanced and transformative budget based on fiscal responsibility, job creation, government efficiency," Governor Cuomo said. "The cornerstone of this budget is the New York Works program, a new and smarter strategy for putting New Yorkers back to work by rebuilding our aging infrastructure and helping put our state's economy back on track, just the way we have put our state government back on track. This significant investment will rebuild the foundation of the region's economy and create thousands of jobs for New Yorkers."
Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos said, "NY Works will build on the positive changes we've made to create a more business-friendly State and get New Yorkers back to work. The projects being supported by this program will be tremendously effective in creating new private sector jobs, investing in critical infrastructure, stimulating new business, and building a stronger economy for us all. I applaud the Governor for his leadership on this issue."
State Senator Owen H. Johnson said, "I am pleased to be working with Governor Cuomo to bring jobs to Long Island. Through the NY Works Project, contracts will be consolidated for each region of the state, saving time and money. Projects specific to Long Island, that had previously been delayed due to resource constraints, will now move forward, immediately creating jobs for people in the construction trades to begin the process of repairing our roads and bridges."
State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle said, "The NY Works Program will bring millions of dollars to the First Senatorial District for road and bridge construction, infrastructure rehabilitation and dredging projects. The State will now undertake much needed repairs and that means contracts for local companies and jobs for local residents."
State Senator Carl L. Marcellino said, "From rebuilding college campuses, to funding transportation projects and upgrading aging sewer treatment plants, the New York Works Program, will address essential infrastructure needs while spurring economic development opportunities. Creating private sector jobs to improve the quality of life in communities throughout New York State."
State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., Chairman of the Senate's Transportation Committee, said, "Creating jobs, economic development, and rebuilding our infrastructure are three critical priorities. We've addressed all of them through NY Works. Smarter investment and improved coordination of state resources will help accelerate much needed infrastructure projects and maximize their economic development benefits. I'm pleased that the Legislature and Governor Cuomo worked together on this important program to create jobs, grow our economy, and make our transportation infrastructure stronger and safer."
State Senator John Flanagan said, "By working together, the Legislature and Governor Cuomo approved an on-time budget that provided real solutions to the economic issues facing our state and this program is one of the cornerstones of that effort. By creating much-needed jobs while also solving some of our long-standing infrastructure issues, NY Works utilizes our limited state funding in a way that will maximize its benefit and that is essential in times like these."
State Senator Jack M. Martins said, "The NY Works projects will utilize capital funds for much needed road improvement projects. The program represents a common sense approach to repairing our roads and bridges efficiently. The funding will improve our state's infrastructure while also creating jobs to stimulate our economy."
"The time is now to make improvements in New York's aging infrastructure. This accelerated funding through the New York Works Program will make our roads and bridges safer for traveling. And this added investment will bring much-needed jobs for our working families," said Deputy Speaker of the Assembly Earlene Hooper.
"The funding included in the state budget will improve the traveling conditions of our roads and bridges, safeguarding our residents and visitors. Equally important, this is a major investment in our economy," said Assemblyman Robert K. Sweeney. "This vital infrastructure investment will also result in the creation of much need jobs in New York State."
The Budget continues the Governor's commitment to fiscal responsibility while creating jobs and strengthening communities across the state. It closes a multi-billion dollar deficit with no new taxes, fees or gimmicks, limits spending growth to two percent or below for the second year in a row, and launches the NY Works Task Force to invest billions of dollars to rebuild the state's roads, bridges, parks, and other infrastructure and create tens of thousands of jobs.
The Budget includes key economic development and transportation initiatives, important reforms to improve government efficiency, and measures to strengthen communities across the state.
NY Works
Establishes the NY Works Task Force
The NY Works Task Force will coordinate capital plans across 45 agencies and authorities, oversee investment in projects and access to funding, and facilitate the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.
Prior to the NY Works initiative, there was no comprehensive state plan for the $16 billion in annual capital expenditures by 45 state agencies and authorities. In some cases, including with respect to projects by the Port Authority, the MTA, and the Department of Transportation, billions of dollars of taxpayer or commuter funds were being used to fund transportation plans in the same region with no coordination between the agencies. For the first time, the NY Works Task Force will develop a coordinated capital infrastructure plan among agencies and authorities. The Task Force, made up of leaders in finance, labor, planning and transportation will also recommend financing options for projects and methods to accelerate construction of critical infrastructure.
The NY Works Task Force will consist of fifteen members. Nine of the members will be appointed by the Governor and six by the Legislature. All major state agencies and authorities will participate in an implementation council to coordinate capital planning.
All NY Works projects will be posted on the web with real-time updates so that New Yorkers can track the progress of projects in their community. The full list will be posted online over the next several days.
Rebuild Roads and Bridges
The Budget funds the NY Works program with $247 million in state capital funds and $917 million in new Federal funds for a total of $1.2 billion in new spending to accelerate repair, replacement and improvement of deficient roads and bridges. This funding is over and above the $1.6 billion already allocated this year to the core transportation capital program for road and bridge projects. This program is in addition to the advancement of the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project that will inject billions more into the regional and state economy. The additional $1.2 billion in accelerated projects will include: $212 million to address bridge deck and structural replacement or rehabilitation needs on approximately 115 bridges; $250 million for more than 2,000 miles of low cost pavement preservation and pavement treatments; and $687 million for transportation projects of regional or statewide significance throughout the state that had been delayed due to resource constraints. The NY Works Accelerated Bridge and Pavement Preservation program will expedite projects to immediately create jobs, address critical infrastructure needs, and achieve savings. The Accelerated Bridge and Pavement Preservation program represents a different way of doing business for New York State. Rather than executing 100 different contracts for 100 different bridges, projects will be consolidated under regional contracts a more efficient process that will enable the state to complete critical projects on time and on budget.
As part of the NY Works program, the Accelerated Bridge program is an innovative capital program delivery approach designed to reduce the backlog of deficient bridges in New York State that require replacement. The program will rehabilitate or replace many bridges over a quick time frame resulting in eliminating future maintenance costs as well as create thousands of constructions jobs and stimulate the New York State economy. Currently, 2,500 or 32 percent of the State's bridges are rated deficient. The bridges will be bundled into six statewide Design-Bid-Build contracts and four Design-Build contracts in four geographic areas: Long Island, Hudson Valley, Central and Western New York, and the North Country and Capital Region.
In addition, NY Works establishes a $250 million investment in a Pavement Preservation program that will improve nearly 2,000 additional lane miles of pavement conditions, which is equivalent to a round trip from New York City to Orlando, Florida. Forty percent of the state's pavement surfaces are rated deficient. Similar to the Accelerated Bridge program, paving and resurfacing contracts will be let throughout the State, creating jobs in every region.
The accelerated NY Works Transportation Projects in Long Island are as follows:

Specific criteria for including a project in the NY Works Fund are as follows:
Accelerated bridge projects:
- It is on the State deficient bridge list.
- Projects that can begin construction in 2012 to immediately reduce the number of deficient bridges.
- Eligible for federal funding.
- Approximately 110 bridges can be rebuilt under the accelerated program.
- Half of the projects will use the State's new "design-build" authority to speed project completion
Accelerated pavement preservation projects:
- Statewide roadway segments rated fair or poor
- Best and lowest cost treatments, such single course overlay, mill and fill, etc.
- Eligible for federal funding.
- 2000 miles of road repaired
Accelerated regional projects:
- Projects of regional significance were programmed for outer years only because of lack of funds, but can be accelerated into 2012 to immediately create jobs, deal with critical infrastructure and yield savings.

Cardiff are going back to Black
It's an understatement to say that this is a massive game for Cardiff City; while there are two teams taking part, the outcome of this match could have disastrous repercussions for the Welsh side.
I don't want to just bad mouth Peter Ridsdale, but I can't help but think that yet again he'll get away with it should Cardiff get promoted.
The financial situation during his time at Leeds United was well documented, he then left there to become chairman at Barnsley where he left the club in a bit of a mess money wise also and somehow he's managed to be able to get a job as chairman of a third team, Cardiff.
It doesn't really teach a good lesson if you can just go from club to club ruining their financial situation, then just get away with it scot free if your team secures a huge cash injection; that is exactly what will happen if the Bluebirds go up, they'll be guaranteed an estimated £90 million should they emerge triumphant from Saturday's match, effectively wiping out the debt that they find themselves in.
The Welsh team are favourites for the game at odds of 7/5 (4/6 to get promoted), but they mustn't underestimate Blackpool (2/1 to win in 90 minutes, 11/10 to get promoted) who've drawn twice with them already this season (11/5 a draw in this game) and also saw off a Nottingham Forest side who were the first team to qualify for the play-offs and were big favourites for the semi-final tie.
If Cardiff are top half regulars, the Tangerines are far from it.
Huge credit must go to Ian Holloway, as his side were more fancied for a relegation battle than a crack at the play-offs this season, I'm personally pleased for him as I feel he's been harshly treated at other clubs and is a really likeable chap that deserves his chance to manage in the Premier League.
He's worked on a tiny budget in comparison to their opponents but he's got his team playing neat and tidy football, with goals coming from all areas of the park. In particular midfield man Charlie Adam (8/1 first goal, 11/4 to score in 90 minutes) has impressed this season with 18 goals in all competitions, including the winner in the first leg of the semi-final against Forest, and is absolutely key to Pool's chances on Saturday.
Seamus Coleman (40/1 first goal, 12/1 in 90 mins) is also vital for the Seasiders, the young Irishman has only played 11 games in his loan spell from Everton but has made quite an impression on the Bloomfield Road faithful with his runs from fullback. This will be his last game in a Blackpool shirt though as he has made clear of his intention to return to Goodison Park, he's just signed an extension to his contract there so will look to try break into their first team for next season.
One player who will definitely hope to have not played his last Blackpool game will be Brett Ormerod (9/1 first, 11/4 in 90 mins), the striker has scored for Pool in every division of the Football League and has also been on the scoresheet in a previous play-off final for the Seasiders- a 4-2 victory over Leyton Orient, wouldn't it be a story if he got the goal that fired them to the Premier League for the first time?
Of course it won't be an easy task for the Lancashire outfit as they will be facing some of the best players outside of the top flight.
Peter Whittingham (13/2 first, 7/4 in 90 mins) has had an excellent season scoring 23 times in all competitions, and should shake off his groin strain in time to play.
One of four players to reach double figures for Cardiff, the winger didn't enjoy a particularly successful period the last time he played in the Premier League for Aston Villa but this season he's been absolutely outstanding, not just scoring goals but setting plenty up for his team mates too.
Another player who has excelled this year is Michael Chopra (5/1 first, evens in 90 mins); the Geordie, similarly to Whittingham, hasn't had the best experience of Premier League football so far, but perhaps that's because he's moved to another club straight after a good season at a lower level and has had to adapt to different formations and surroundings, I can't help but think he'll be much better equipped to succeed this time in the PL as he'll step up with the same group of players.
City defender Anthony Gerrard (40/1 first, 12/1 in 90 mins) has been out of action for a few weeks but he too is expected to overcome his calf injury in time for the Wembley showdown.
Blackpool have no injury worries and will look to name an unchanged team for their sixth straight game.
I make no apologies for saying it but my heart will be cheering on 'the underdogs', but I think that Cardiff will just have too much for them on the day and I expect them to go up, as ever though these games are tight so Cardiff on penalties or extra time (both 9/1) should be considered and also under 1.5 goals at 9/4 could prove profitable.
For Blackpool to triumph after 90 minutes the prices are 10/1 on penalties and 11/1 in extra time.
If you're a neutral you can sit back and enjoy the match with our In-Play service which will be offering you a wide range of in-running betting opportunities, of course if you're a fan of either team it's unlikely you'll be able to relax!

COPPER CENTER - A 17-year-old girl was killed in a crash on the Richardson Highway near Copper Center.
Alaska State Troopers said Deborah Bell of Kenny Lake, who was found about 7 a.m. Sunday, was the only person in the car that skidded off the highway and rolled. She was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected and hit a tree.
Troopers said alcohol appears to have been a factor in the crash.

Executive function (EF) develops throughout childhood and adolescence. Up to half of youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show executive dysfunction. Reading disability has a comorbidity with ADHD of 20–40%. Adequate reading comprehension depends on higher cognitive skills beyond word decoding.
The aim of this study was to investigate EFs and reading abilities in a group of primary school children with ADHD [intelligence quotient (IQ)≥85] and whether they differ with sex.
A total of 30 Egyptian boys and 30 girls aged 8–12 years diagnosed with ADHD were compared with 40 healthy matched controls in terms of clinical assessment of reading skills, comorbidites, IQ, ADHD symptoms using Conners' Parent Rating Scale-Revised-Long version (CPRS-R-L), EFs using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), and metacognitive reading using the Metacognitive Reading Comprehension Scale.
In total, 50% of ADHD cases showed the combined type, 31.7% the predominantly inattentive, and 18.3% the predominantly hyperactive type, with a significant gender difference (P=0.007). Patients had significantly higher scores in all CPRS-R-L scales, except for the anxious–shy subscale. Boys had higher means in the 'hyperactivity', whereas girls had higher means in the 'cognitive problems/inattention' scale. Male and female patients did not differ in comorbid learning disabilities but differed in conduct disorder and depression. Patients scored significantly lower on all WCST indices, except the first trials (P<0.001). Girls with ADHD made more errors, P=0.050, and completed less number of categories than boys, P=0.024. EF did not correlate with the hyperactivity subscale of CPRS-R-L. It correlated with the cognitive problems/inattention subscale in male and female patients. The Metacognitive Reading Comprehension scores differed significantly between the children with ADHD and the controls (P<0.001). None of the WCST indices predicted the Metacognitive Reading Comprehension total score. The total score was predicted only by the CPRS-R-L N scale (DSM-IV total), but not by its other subscales, IQ scales, sex, or age.
Children with ADHD have lower EF and reading abilities than controls. Executive dysfunction is related to inattention and not to hyperactivity. No robust differences in EF can be attributed solely to sex. Reading and metacognitive reading dysfunctions showed no gender difference.
To describe the characteristics of informal caregivers of terminally ill (hepatic, cardiac, and renal failure) patients and their care recipients and to examine the relationship between depression, anxiety, and burden among informal caregivers.
This was a cross-sectional study, in which 51 caregivers of terminally ill (hepatic, cardiac, and renal failure) patients were recruited from among inpatients of Internal Medicine Department, Kasr Al Aini, Faculty of Medicine, from September 2011 to April 2012. The patients were subjected to a Caregiver Questionnaire, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scales, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scales, and the Modified Caregiver Strain Index was determined.
Most of the caregivers experienced high levels of burden, severe anxiety, and mild depression. Several factors showed a statistically significant correlation with caregiver burden, anxiety, and depression including the care recipient's functional status, personality changes, mental functioning, the presence of comorbidity, the Palliative Prognostic Score, being the main caregiver, duration of caregiving, the caregiver's employment status, perceived health, and impact on social activities. Caregiver burden, anxiety, and depression were significantly correlated.
Caregivers of terminal organ failure (hepatic, cardiac, and renal) patients experience high levels of burden, severe anxiety, and mild depression. Predictors of anxiety, depression, and burden include being the main caregiver, duration of caregiving, the caregiver's employment status, perceived health, and impact on social activities.
In many western countries, deinstitutionalization of chronically mentally ill patients was established after the mass introduction of neuroleptics in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. Deinstitutionalization was proven to be successful when there were strong ideological or humanitarian motives and when psychiatric reform was a priority and was completed with a comprehensive system of community. However, its long-term effects should be examined and questioned in terms of improving quality of life and functional abilities.
The research aimed at studying the morbidity profile and impact of schizophrenia on chronic institutionalized mentally ill patients as baseline data for planning of deinstitutionalization and a Community care program.
Data on sociodemographics, course of illness, treatment history, rate of admission, duration of hospital stay, and medical condition were collected retrospectively, followed by a cross-sectional study of a total of 95 patients with a schizophrenia spectrum using psychopathological rating scales such as PANSS, MMSE, CGI-S. Diagnosis according to DSM-IV and an interview using SCID were carried out by two different psychiatrists for high inter-rater reliability. The sample was recruited from among long-stay hospital patients.
The mean age of onset of schizophrenia among the patients was 48.9±10.3 and 21.2±5.7 years. The mean duration of illness was 27.5±9.3 years, whereas the mean duration of repeated admission was 19.07±12.5 years. With respect to the median percentage of total hospital stay, 30% could be attributed to the patients' median age and 55% to illness duration, whereas with respect to chronic hospitalization 20% could be attributed to the patients' median age and 35% to illness duration. Of the patients, 85% were men; 70% were single and unemployed with a low socioeconomic status; 25% lacked private housing; 30% had diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension; 80% were obese and overweight; and 50% were on antilipid drugs. Delusion, hallucination, and conceptual disorganization were the highest-scoring positive symptoms in 50% of cases. Negative symptoms also scored higher (7.4) on all items in 60% of cases. Eighty percent had compromised cognitive deficits. Early age of onset of schizophrenia and being older were powerful predictors for repeated admission, a long duration of illness, and chronic hospitalizations. Severity of illness is also a powerful predictor for long hospital stay.
Schizophrenia is a chronic devastating illness that impacts function and cognitive abilities, and is characterized by a high rate of admission, chronic course of illness as well as chronic institutionalization. For continuity of care and a favorable prognosis, early comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and multimodel programs are required for patients with mental illness from the date of first hospital contact.
To assess the efficacy of the psychoeducational program in alleviating cancer-related fatigue and mood symptoms, and improving quality of life of breast cancer survivors.
A prospective follow-up case–control study was carried out between June and December 2010. Eighty patients were randomly selected from among women who had recently completed their treatments for breast cancer at the outpatient clinic in the Department of Clinical Oncology, Cairo University (Egypt). They were divided into group A, which received the program, and group B, the waiting control group. Karnofsky Performance Scale was used to exclude physical disability. Assessment was carried out twice, at weeks 0 and 4, using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Health-Related Quality of Life-Short Form (HRQL-SF) 36, and Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF). The psychiatric diagnosis was made according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders, 4th ed., Text Revised criteria.
There was a nonsignificant difference between both groups in terms of sociodemographic or medical data, and the mean scores of HADS, HRQL-SF 36, and MFSI-SF at week 0. There was a significant difference between both the groups in terms of the mean scores of HADS, HRQL-SF 36, and MFSI-SF at week 4. There was a significant difference between the mean scores of HADS, HRQL-SF 36, and MFSI-SF in group A before and after the intervention.
Fatigue is a major problem in the majority of breast cancer patients after therapy. A psychoeducational program improves various aspects of patients' physical, emotional, and quality of life.
The aim of the current study was to assess the relation between working memory dysfunction and clinical and MRI findings in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.
This study was conducted on 50 patients with clinically definite relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, they were recruited from the Outpatient Clinic of Alexandria University Hospitals; and 25 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and educational level. All participants were subjected to neuropsychological assessment that included: digit span, visual span, N-nack task, and Wisconsin card sorting test. The patient group was further subjected to: Expanded disability status scale (EDSS) and brain MRI.
Clinically, the present study found no statistically significant correlations between working memory dysfunction and age, age at onset, sex, number of relapses, affected functional system, or EDSS status. Alternatively, there were statistically significant positive correlations between working memory dysfunction and the duration of illness.
This study suggests that according to the resources utilized by cognitive tasks, working memory tasks may be classified into high-demanding working memory tasks (2-back task and WCST) and low-demanding working memory tasks (1-back task and digit and visual span), and in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis working memory dysfunction includes mainly high-demanding working memory tasks.
To evaluate the effectiveness of combined methadone maintenance treatment and psychosocial treatment program for heroin-addicted patients.
Forty-eight heroin-dependent participants were interviewed using the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), 5th ed., and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview during the first week of their admission to a methadone clinic in Los Angeles, California, for baseline assessment. A follow-up ASI assessment was made 6 months after their first interview.
ASI revealed that 67% of participants reported chronic medical problems, 69% were unemployed, 94% had been incarcerated, and 71% had suffered from psychiatric symptoms in the past 30 days, the most common being anxiety and depression. Female participants reported significantly more severe medical, employment, and psychiatric problems than did male participants. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview revealed that 63% met criteria for the presence of one or more current psychiatric disorders. By the time of follow-up investigation, 15 participants had dropped out of the study. Participants who were still in treatment showed significant improvement in their medical, drug, legal, family, and psychiatric problems compared with their baseline assessments.
Combined methadone treatment and psychosocial treatment worked well for most of the participants of both sexes with or without comorbid psychiatric disorders.
