Baby Jesus Removed From S.I. Ferry Terminal

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Baby Jesus is no longer welcome at the St. George Ferry Terminal, Ginny Kosola reports.

WCBS 880’s Ginny Kosola reports

Christmas trees decorate the Terminal on Staten Island, but the Nativity scene has been removed.

“Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Christmas, everybody should be able to celebrate,” said commuter Marian Oust.

A Department of Transportation spokesman was quoted as saying the agency didn’t give permission for the Nativity scene, and that it was put up by workers.

One Salvation Army worker at the Terminal was disappointed, especially given the Christmas season. “There’s a lot of us who don’t know the true meaning of Christmas,” she said.

One Comment

  1. Derick Durgana says:

    The true authority to set all things straight on this matter is to go to where it all took place in the bible! or holy writings

    First the custom:
    According to tradition, Jesus’ birth took place on December 25 and is celebrated
    on that date. “Christmas,” says the Encyclopedia of Religion, means “‘Christ’s
    Mass,’ that is, the mass celebrating the feast of Christ’s nativity,” or birth.

    Second its roots: “The establishment of December 25 evolved not from biblical precedent,” says The Christmas Encyclopedia, “but from pagan Roman festivals held at year’s end,” about the time of the winter solstice in the
    Northern Hemisphere. Those festivals included the Saturnalia, in honor of Saturn, god of agriculture, “and the combined festivals of two sun gods, the Roman Sol and the Persian Mithra,” says the same encyclopedia. Both birthdays were celebrated on December 25, the winter solstice according to the Julian calendar.
    Those pagan festivals began to be “Christianized” in the year 350, when Pope Julius I declared December 25 to be Christ’s birthday. “The Nativity gradually absorbed or supplanted all other solstice rites,” says the Encyclopedia of Religion. “Solar imagery came increasingly to be used to portray the risen
    Christ (who was also called Sol Invictus), and the old solar disk . . . became the halo of Christian saints.”

    Third what the Bible says: The Bible does not give Jesus’ birth date. But we can safely conclude that he was not born on December 25. How so? The Bible tells us that when Jesus was born, shepherds were “living out of doors” tending their flocks at night in the vicinity of Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8) The cold, rainy season usually began in October, and shepherds—especially in the colder highlands, such as those around Bethlehem—brought their sheep into protected shelters at night. The coldest weather, sometimes accompanied by snow, occurred in December._Significantly, the early Christians, many of whom had accompanied Jesus in his ministry, never celebrated his birth on any
    date. Rather, in harmony with his command, they commemorated only his death. (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
    Still, some may say, ‘Does the pagan connection really matter?’ The answer? It does to God. “The true worshipers will worship the Father with
    spirit and truth,” said Jesus Christ.—John 4:23

    I don’t think I can put it better than the J.C, cause he made his point pretty clear in his statements recorded in the scriptural accounts that we are all supposed to be using to set matters straight not just frivolous commentaries. Jesus also said another famous line which was you will know the truth and it will set you free.
    well your funds (money, assets) is one!
    not my words! just some Truth get informed

  2. LOL over this says:

    Amazing …Jesus wanted you to remember his death and what it stood for.. So what do we do instead? We celebrate his birth by merging it with a saint. dressed in red. Hey …wasn’t the rob Jesus took to his death red? And then we cant even get the right date.

  3. Fred says:

    Seems that we have lost our way.

  4. mari n says:

  5. Mari N says:

    HMM you must be a true Christian from your remarks…..ur a damn HYPOCRITE!
    Not funny putz just insulting….keep spreading the hate you moron

  6. jtorres says:

    People need to lighten up and not make a federal case out of this. I’m pretty sure The Nativity scene was not put up to offend or insult anyone. I’m Catholic and work in Downtown Brooklyn where they have a huge menorah in the center of Christopher Columbus Square and I think it’s lovely, not offensive or insulting. It’s not my faith but so what? I’m not going to waste time and energy trying to make everyone “politically correct” I never believed in that concept anyway

  7. Bah Humbug says:

    I’ll bet few Christians remember who turned over the merchants tables in his father house…Hypocrites…First remove the rafter out of your own eye…

  8. Steve M. says:

    Why do we go through this eery year? And why does anyone care if there’s a nativity scene up or not? Is someone going to keel over and die if they see it? …..
    ………..Really….get a perspective! Non of this matters to those that are secure in their own beliefs…The insecure always complain and whine that they’re ‘offended’……

  9. James Arnold Santos says:

    The sad fact is that the rightist Jews have won their war. Its post Christianity in USA now! Soon history will repeat itself second time around with Moslem Jihadist…but this time around It will be post Judaism/ Zionism! Wake up American Christians…your arse is on the line!!

  10. 'tis the season for reason says:

    Nothing should be put on display at all unless they are also going to allow all other groups a time period for a display of their beliefs, including the atheists, scientologists, etc, etc, etc.

  11. iceuroz says:

    The Rockefellers weren’t Jews. They were protestants. Get your facts straight.

    1. Jose Ballesteros says:

      Dear Iceuroz…please get your own facts straight and read correct facts on Wikipedia or any other credible history book available on Rockefeller origins…As I said common middle class American Christians are in a slumber and have forgotten history and that history repeats itself..
      Jose Ballesteros

  12. Karen Cooper says:

    they should take sown the trees and all of the decorations if they dont know how to celebrate christmas

  13. Karen Cooper says:

    they must tbe atheist they should not go aginst the true meaning of christmas they should put it back everyoneyone knows jesus is the reason for the season and they should take down the trees too if they arent celebrating christmas the right way

    1. JK says:

      If you go to the Library and do some research (including references in the New Catholic Encylopedia) you’d find out Jesus was not born on December 25th!! December 25th was adopted several centuries after Christ was born to draw in others (aka Pagans) to Christianity. This season has nothing to do with christ but of Pagan origin. Please read up.

      PS. I am a Christian!

  14. Patricia Perez says:

    I’m surprised they allowed a Christmas tree to be put up,

  15. jschmidt2 says:

    no one gets upset about upsetting Christians. We are a powerless majority because the laws only protect minorities. Political correctness has really ruined this country and it is all because everyone is afraid of being sued.

  16. D. Spier says:

    Most of the comment above say it all. If you think tyranny by the minority is bad because you can’t put your religious symbol wherever you want, try tyranny by the majority some time. I wasd thrown out of French class for not wanting to learn the Christmas carols they were teaching. Protocols of the Elders of Zion? Really? What religion did you say you were? Christian? I don’t think so.

  17. Eric Fernandez says:

    ..and they say that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a lie…Must give credit to the ADL for putting the protocols into action!

  18. Memin says:

    Why, then, do they still name their station St. George Ferry Terminal? Someone could think that is an offensive christian name or something.

  19. industry says:

    Hanukkah is a Religious Holiday for the Jewish people.
    It celebrates the Miracle following the victory of Judas Maccabee and reconsecration of the Temple. The Hanukkah Menorah UNLIKE the Christmas
    Tree is a RELIGIOUS SYMBOL with great significance to Jews.

    The Christmas Tree is NOT a Christian symbol – it is SECULAR.

    The NATIVITY Scene is the focus of Christmas for Christians.

    Christians are the MAJORITY in the USA.
    Why can’t we use our Religious Symbol during OUR Holiday.

    This is Anti-Christian bias pure & simple.

    I see places of business decorated with Hanukkah Menorah, Dreidels and
    the words Happy Hanukkah (Channukah).

    Merry Christmas is now a forbidden greeting and prohibited from being
    displayed in many businesses.

    This is the age of Tyranny of the Minorities.

    1. JD says:

      thank you…beautifully expressed

    2. John says:

      This isn’t a price private place of business, it’s a government building — that is the difference. A private place of business can put up anything it wants… nativity, menorah, etc. It’s the same reason they shouldn’t put up a menorah in this building.

      1. michael lee says:

        Agree with you. AND all public holidays which are based on religious practices of the people should also be abolished. Let’s see what those who want to celebrate a religious holiday YET do not accept/respect the essence of such practice say when they are made to work instead.

    3. JK says:

      1. Christ not born on December 25th. Do your research.
      2. Christ is a powerful king not a child any longer.
      3. It was his death that paid our Ransom.
      4. FYI the so called Wisemen (Magi) showed up when he was older infant not when he was a newborn. Do your research.

    4. Kim says:

      I agree with you to the ten thousandth power.

      Very well said, and more importantly TRUE.

  20. ttc says:

    just allow all three, what’s the big deal

    1. mike says:

      BULL’S EYE!

  21. K.Mak says:

    Christmas is getting to the point where they should change the name of this holiday to HAPPY HOLIDAY so that is could be politically correct.

    1. michael lee says:

      I TOTALLY agree with you. Question for the is: What are they celebrating or holiday-ing during this time?

  22. C.J. says:

    It’s getting ridiculous.

Police: Swastika Drawn On Sign Outside Edison, N.J. Rabbi’s Home ‘Absolutely Intolerable’

Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg's Parents Were Holocaust Survivors

EDISON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – Police are searching for a suspect after a political campaign sign outside of a rabbi’s home in Edison, New Jersey was defaced with a swastika.

Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg noticed the Nazi symbol drawn onto a sign for a mayoral hopeful on his front lawn when he went to get his morning paper on Monday, WCBS 880’s Marla Diamond reported.

Rosenberg is the son of Holocaust survivors.

Police: Swastika Drawn On Sign Outside Edison, N.J. Rabbi's Home 'Absolutely Intolerable'

“It hurts. It hurts very much because the message is very simple: whether they know anything about the Nazis or they don’t, they know what the Nazis did. And they know that it was a horrible event of killing Jews,” Rosenberg told Diamond. “This wasn’t painted by a 10-year-old, it’s pretty obvious.”

Rosenberg said this is not the first time he’s been targeted.

“That’s what you get for being outspoken and being a product of the Holocaust – my parents were in Auschwitz – I will continue to be outspoken and I will not be intimidated,” the rabbi said.

This is the second mayoral campaign sign in Edison to be defaced in the past three weeks, Diamond reported.

“This is absolutely intolerable. We simply will not accept this behavior and we will do everything in our power to bring the persons responsible for this to justice,” Edison Chief of Police Thomas Bryan said. “It is a very diverse community, the township, and certainly I am here and we are here to protect everybody’s rights.”

Historic Saranac Lake Unveiling Photo Exhibit

By on

On June 22, 2011, Historic Saranac Lake will unveil a new John Black Room Exhibit, “The Little City in the Adirondacks: Historic Photographs of Saranac Lake.” Created in collaboration with the Adirondack Room of the Saranac Lake Free Library, the exhibit features almost fifty framed historic photographs of Saranac Lake residents and buildings during the early part of the twentieth century.

The exhibit portrays a vibrant little city with a prospering and diverse economy. Saranac Lake grew quickly in the early 1900s to accommodate thousands of health seekers that came to the village seeking the fresh air cure for tuberculosis, made famous by Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau. The exhibit features the unique architecture of the village as well as photos of local residents at play and at work.

The photographs represent only small portion of the rich photo collection of the Adirondack Room of the Saranac Lake Free Library. Library curator, Michele Tucker graciously loaned the photos to Historic Saranac Lake, and a team of dedicated volunteers has worked to install the exhibit. Many of the photos were originally printed and framed by the late Barbara Parnass, who was one of the founding Board Members of Historic Saranac Lake in 1980.

The photograph exhibit replaces an earlier exhibit on World War I in Saranac Lake. The exhibit will be on display for twelve months. Plans are underway for a new, comprehensive exhibit on Saranac Lake history to be installed in the John Black Room in 2012.

The Saranac Laboratory Museum opens June 22. The public is invited to visit the new photo exhibit and the laboratory museum space during regular hours through October 7, Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 2:00, or any time by appointment. Admission is $5 per person, members and children free of charge.

Scott Darling may have earned himself some extra playing time

CHICAGO, IL - APRIL 05: Scott Darling #33 of the Chicago Blackhawks follows the action against the Arizona Coyotes at the United Center on April 5, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. The Blackhawks defeated the Coyotes 6-2. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
1 Comment

When the Chicago Blackhawks’ run of three Stanley Cups in six seasons started back in the 2009-10 season, goaltending was pretty consistently their biggest question mark over the first three or four years of that run. Today, as the Blackhawks continue to sit near the top of the Western Conference standings, it might be one of their greatest strengths.

At this point it is not just because of Corey Crawford‘s development into one of the league’s best, most consistent starters.

They are also getting excellent play from his backup, Scott Darling, and it continued on Friday night when he received the start against the Boston Bruins — only his second start in January — and responded with a 30-save shutout.

Darling’s play has improved significantly this season in the Blackhawks’ net, and after Friday’s game he is carrying a .928 save percentage in his 21 appearances this season, including a pair of shutouts.

Together the duo has the fourth best overall save percentage in the NHL (.920) and the second best even-strength save percentage (.937), trailing only the Washington Capitals.

It is a positive development for both the Blackhawks and Darling himself.

From a Blackhawks perspective, his play has given them a reliable backup that was not only able to successfully fill in for Crawford when he missed nearly a month due to an appendectomy earlier this season, but it has also made it so they can potentially manage his minutes a little more and keep him fresh for the playoffs without having to run him into the ground during the regular season. With Crawford going through a bit of a slump recently, allowing it least three goals in eight of his past 11 starts, it might even leave the door open for Darling to get another start on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks.

When asked about that possibility after Friday’s game coach Joel Quenneville would only say, “Their play a lot of time makes our decision for us.”

Of course, we probably should not make too much of this. Crawford is still going to be the guy in Chicago, and even though he has hit a bit of a rough patch lately he is still one of the top goalies in the league and you have to think he will eventually work his way out this recent funk. It’s just that Darling might be worthy of getting an additional start or two at the moment until that happens.

For Darling, it has been a big season as he plays through the final year of his contract and will be eligible for unrestricted free agency after this season. Looking at the UFA market for goalies, you have Ryan Miller, who will be 36 years old and not really represent much of a long-term solution for anybody, and Ben Bishop and Steve Mason, who are both going through disappointing seasons. After that it is a bunch of a question marks. If Darling can continue to take advantage of the opportunities he gets in Chicago the way he has so far this season, he might end up earning himself an even bigger one in the summer.

Video: Julien won’t discuss job security with Bruins

The job security of Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien remains a hot topic of discussion, particularly these past few days and that isn’t likely to change following Friday’s defeat to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Despite carrying the play, especially through the first two periods, the Bruins were unable to score and were shut out once again, losing the game on a goal from Marian Hossa with 1:26 remaining in regulation. For the Bruins, that’s a heartbreaker.

It seems Julien’s job in Boston is always up for discussion during at least some point in a season, but the chatter now seems especially bleak, even if one could find plenty of faults with Boston’s roster, which falls on management.

Addressing reporters after Friday’s loss, Julien liked how his team played versus the Blackhawks, but admitted there are “growing pains” and there were costly mistakes made at points in the game.

When asked about job security, Julien didn’t wish to discuss the subject.

“I’m not into shock journalism,” he said, “so I’ll stay away from that question if you don’t mind.”

Major victory: Habs power play erupts to defeat Devils

OTTAWA, CANADA - OCTOBER 15: Shea Weber #6 of the Montreal Canadiens fires a slapshot during an NHL game at Canadian Tire Centre on October 15, 2016 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  (Photo by Francois Laplante/Freestyle Photography/Getty Images)
Leave a comment

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) The toughest thing Montreal Canadiens goalie Al Montoya had to do against the New Jersey Devils was stay awake.

The Canadiens limited the Devils to a season-low 17 shots, and Shea Weber and Max Pacioretty each scored a power-play goal during a major penalty early in the third period of Montreal’s 3-1 victory Friday night.

“I’d take this any night,” Montoya said after the Canadiens snapped a two-game skid. “Your team is playing fantastic in front of you. Halfway through the game it’s 1-1 and all I’m really focused on is making that next save. These guys did a phenomenal job and I just wanted to make that next save, and the power play was terrific. The guys were mainly terrific all night.”

Alex Galchenyuk added a goal and two assists, and Alexander Radulov had three assists as Montreal ended the Devils’ three-game winning streak.

The difference in this one was the power play. The Canadiens were 3 for 7 with the extra man and they converted twice with Devils defenseman Karl Stollery in the box for a boarding major.

The call was iffy. Stollery hit Canadiens defenseman Nathan Beaulieu in the corner in the Devils end, but the question was whether it was a major or minor penalty.

“It happened quick,” Stollery said. “The guy is coming in and I am going in to finish the play and he turns up. I probably would like to let up a little bit more if it happened again. It’s one of those things that happens quick.”

Devils coach John Hynes screamed at the officials.

“All I got was they felt it was a dangerous hit,” Hynes said. “At that point they are not going to explain it too much. They were defensive. They made the call. It is what it is. At that point we have to try to find a way to kill it better than we did.”

The first two minutes of the major were played 4-on-4, but the Canadiens capitalized after that.

Weber scored his 11th of the season on a drive from the blue line at 3:01 that was set up by Radulov. Pacioretty got his 21st at 4:23 with a shot that deflected off the skate of Devils forward Adam Henrique.

“It was huge,” Weber said. “Obviously, special teams mean so much coming down the stretch and heading into playoffs, so trying to get some chemistry going and help the team win games, it’s obviously a big thing.”

Rookie defenseman Steven Santini gave the Devils an early 1-0 lead, but the Canadiens dominated after that, firing 26 shots at Keith Kinkaid.

Montoya had nothing to do for long stretches. New Jersey was held without a shot for more than 12 minutes after Santini scored, and it needed 13 minutes to get one in the second period.

Santini put New Jersey ahead when he flipped a shot from just inside the blue line that floated into the top corner of the net.

Galchenyuk tied the game 74 seconds later with a shot from the left circle with Devils forward Miles Wood in the penalty box for slashing. The tally came 28 seconds after the penalty and on Montreal’s first shot with the man advantage.

Video: Henrik Sedin records 1,000th career point

Leave a comment

Henrik Sedin has become the 85th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 career points.

Sedin, the Canucks captain, hit the milestone Friday against the Florida Panthers and his former teammate Roberto Luongo. As you might imagine, twin brother Daniel Sedin also factored into the goal.

Daniel fed Henrik with a perfect pass off the rush, and Henrik finished the play off, sliding the puck through the legs of Luongo to tie the game 1-1 in the second period. It was another beauty, another example of what has made those two players so special for many years in Vancouver.

Henrik Sedin is the first player in Canucks history to reach 1,000 points. He also becomes just the fourth player from Sweden to hit that number, joining Mats Sundin, Daniel Alfredsson and Nicklas Lidstrom.

Daniel should also reach the mark, although he may have to wait until next season. He entered Friday’s game with 967 career points.

Great touch of class, too, from Luongo, who quickly embraced his former teammate as Sedin skated back to the bench following the on-ice celebration.

Sharks ride momentum into Game 5 win; Kings find themselves down 3-1

1 Comment

The San Jose Sharks rode the momentum of their dramatic Game 3 comeback and another busy second period to earn a 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings. These two road wins give the Sharks a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Some might reflexively wonder if the Kings were “broken” by that Game 3 loss, but if you ask me, it’s all about San Jose’s superior talent taking over.

San Jose 6, Los Angeles 3; Sharks lead series 3-2

While it couldn’t beat that insane seven-goal second period from Game 3, the middle frame was the story of this game as well. The two teams skated to a 0-0 tie in the first period before the Sharks stormed to a 3-0 lead thanks to one goal by Jason Demers and two by Ryane Clowe.

This time around, Kings coach Terry Murray decided to take a time out, which paid off for the Kings in the short term. Brad Richardson and Justin Williams scored goals to make it 3-2 going into the second intermission.

That was as close as the Kings would get, though. Joe Thornton scored a goal and then blew a kiss, which was a surprising moment considering the fact that Jumbo Joe has been such a target for playoff criticism over the years. It ended up being a safe move, though, as Joe Pavelski made it 5-2 less than a minute later. Torrey Mitchell and Alexei Ponikarovsky exchanged goals late in the third to make it 6-3.

The Sharks have gone from being worried about another upset to being in a position to end this series fairly quickly with Game 5 back at the HP Pavilion.

While Los Angeles has to be down in the dumps, their collective heart shouldn’t be questioned. Honestly, the only thing I questioned is the pace of this series from the Kings’ perspective. It’s been fantastic, frantic hockey to watch … but is this the type of game that really suits their situation?

All positivity aside, the Kings had a chance to take a 3-1 series lead with two games at home. Instead, they are in the opposite situation. That’s disappointing, even if it might be part of a growing process for a young and promising team.

Scott Darling may have earned himself some extra playing time

When the Chicago Blackhawks’ run of three Stanley Cups in six seasons started back in the 2009-10 season, goaltending was pretty consistently their biggest question mark over the first three or four years of that run. Today, as the Blackhawks continue to sit near the top of the Western Conference standings, it might be one of their greatest strengths.

At this point it is not just because of Corey Crawford‘s development into one of the league’s best, most consistent starters.

They are also getting excellent play from his backup, Scott Darling, and it continued on Friday night when he received the start against the Boston Bruins — only his second start in January — and responded with a 30-save shutout.

Darling’s play has improved significantly this season in the Blackhawks’ net, and after Friday’s game he is carrying a .928 save percentage in his 21 appearances this season, including a pair of shutouts.

Together the duo has the fourth best overall save percentage in the NHL (.920) and the second best even-strength save percentage (.937), trailing only the Washington Capitals.

It is a positive development for both the Blackhawks and Darling himself.

From a Blackhawks perspective, his play has given them a reliable backup that was not only able to successfully fill in for Crawford when he missed nearly a month due to an appendectomy earlier this season, but it has also made it so they can potentially manage his minutes a little more and keep him fresh for the playoffs without having to run him into the ground during the regular season. With Crawford going through a bit of a slump recently, allowing it least three goals in eight of his past 11 starts, it might even leave the door open for Darling to get another start on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks.

When asked about that possibility after Friday’s game coach Joel Quenneville would only say, “Their play a lot of time makes our decision for us.”

Of course, we probably should not make too much of this. Crawford is still going to be the guy in Chicago, and even though he has hit a bit of a rough patch lately he is still one of the top goalies in the league and you have to think he will eventually work his way out this recent funk. It’s just that Darling might be worthy of getting an additional start or two at the moment until that happens.

For Darling, it has been a big season as he plays through the final year of his contract and will be eligible for unrestricted free agency after this season. Looking at the UFA market for goalies, you have Ryan Miller, who will be 36 years old and not really represent much of a long-term solution for anybody, and Ben Bishop and Steve Mason, who are both going through disappointing seasons. After that it is a bunch of a question marks. If Darling can continue to take advantage of the opportunities he gets in Chicago the way he has so far this season, he might end up earning himself an even bigger one in the summer.

Video: Julien won’t discuss job security with Bruins

The job security of Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien remains a hot topic of discussion, particularly these past few days and that isn’t likely to change following Friday’s defeat to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Despite carrying the play, especially through the first two periods, the Bruins were unable to score and were shut out once again, losing the game on a goal from Marian Hossa with 1:26 remaining in regulation. For the Bruins, that’s a heartbreaker.

It seems Julien’s job in Boston is always up for discussion during at least some point in a season, but the chatter now seems especially bleak, even if one could find plenty of faults with Boston’s roster, which falls on management.

Addressing reporters after Friday’s loss, Julien liked how his team played versus the Blackhawks, but admitted there are “growing pains” and there were costly mistakes made at points in the game.

When asked about job security, Julien didn’t wish to discuss the subject.

“I’m not into shock journalism,” he said, “so I’ll stay away from that question if you don’t mind.”

Major victory: Habs power play erupts to defeat Devils

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) The toughest thing Montreal Canadiens goalie Al Montoya had to do against the New Jersey Devils was stay awake.

The Canadiens limited the Devils to a season-low 17 shots, and Shea Weber and Max Pacioretty each scored a power-play goal during a major penalty early in the third period of Montreal’s 3-1 victory Friday night.

“I’d take this any night,” Montoya said after the Canadiens snapped a two-game skid. “Your team is playing fantastic in front of you. Halfway through the game it’s 1-1 and all I’m really focused on is making that next save. These guys did a phenomenal job and I just wanted to make that next save, and the power play was terrific. The guys were mainly terrific all night.”

Alex Galchenyuk added a goal and two assists, and Alexander Radulov had three assists as Montreal ended the Devils’ three-game winning streak.

The difference in this one was the power play. The Canadiens were 3 for 7 with the extra man and they converted twice with Devils defenseman Karl Stollery in the box for a boarding major.

The call was iffy. Stollery hit Canadiens defenseman Nathan Beaulieu in the corner in the Devils end, but the question was whether it was a major or minor penalty.

“It happened quick,” Stollery said. “The guy is coming in and I am going in to finish the play and he turns up. I probably would like to let up a little bit more if it happened again. It’s one of those things that happens quick.”

Devils coach John Hynes screamed at the officials.

“All I got was they felt it was a dangerous hit,” Hynes said. “At that point they are not going to explain it too much. They were defensive. They made the call. It is what it is. At that point we have to try to find a way to kill it better than we did.”

The first two minutes of the major were played 4-on-4, but the Canadiens capitalized after that.

Weber scored his 11th of the season on a drive from the blue line at 3:01 that was set up by Radulov. Pacioretty got his 21st at 4:23 with a shot that deflected off the skate of Devils forward Adam Henrique.

“It was huge,” Weber said. “Obviously, special teams mean so much coming down the stretch and heading into playoffs, so trying to get some chemistry going and help the team win games, it’s obviously a big thing.”

Rookie defenseman Steven Santini gave the Devils an early 1-0 lead, but the Canadiens dominated after that, firing 26 shots at Keith Kinkaid.

Montoya had nothing to do for long stretches. New Jersey was held without a shot for more than 12 minutes after Santini scored, and it needed 13 minutes to get one in the second period.

Santini put New Jersey ahead when he flipped a shot from just inside the blue line that floated into the top corner of the net.

Galchenyuk tied the game 74 seconds later with a shot from the left circle with Devils forward Miles Wood in the penalty box for slashing. The tally came 28 seconds after the penalty and on Montreal’s first shot with the man advantage.

Video: Henrik Sedin records 1,000th career point

Leave a comment

Henrik Sedin has become the 85th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 career points.

Sedin, the Canucks captain, hit the milestone Friday against the Florida Panthers and his former teammate Roberto Luongo. As you might imagine, twin brother Daniel Sedin also factored into the goal.

Daniel fed Henrik with a perfect pass off the rush, and Henrik finished the play off, sliding the puck through the legs of Luongo to tie the game 1-1 in the second period. It was another beauty, another example of what has made those two players so special for many years in Vancouver.

Henrik Sedin is the first player in Canucks history to reach 1,000 points. He also becomes just the fourth player from Sweden to hit that number, joining Mats Sundin, Daniel Alfredsson and Nicklas Lidstrom.

Daniel should also reach the mark, although he may have to wait until next season. He entered Friday’s game with 967 career points.

Great touch of class, too, from Luongo, who quickly embraced his former teammate as Sedin skated back to the bench following the on-ice celebration.

Winnipeg Jets v Washington Capitals

Capitals cough up three-goal lead, lose to Jets in OT

If you ask me, it’s often unfair to say that a hockey team “choked.” Making such an accusation assumes that hockey is a sport where a lot isn’t left to chance; I think most of us can agree that largely isn’t the case. Still, it’s pretty tough to fight off the long-held criticisms of the Washington Capitals after a loss like this.

The team seemed like it would produce a slam-dunk win in a huge home game against the Winnipeg Jets as they took a 3-0 as Alex Ovechkin continued his hot streak with two of those goals. The Jets and Capitals stuck to the script after that, though, as Winnipeg was that “scrappy bunch” while Washington seemed like a bunch of chokers, coughing up a 3-0 lead to eventually lose 4-3 in overtime.

How do you explain a loss like this? Who gets the blame? Did Brooks Laich make a mistake by fighting Jim Slater in the second period?

All kinds of questions sprout up from a loss like this, but Washington must move on. If nothing else, they’ll get a charity point to keep them in the mix.

East update:

(With Ottawa Senators’ disturbing loss to the Montreal Canadiens, it seems relevant to include them in the mix now.)

7. Ottawa: 84 points, 32 regulation/OT wins and eight games left
8. Washington: 82 points, 35 regulation/OT wins and seven games left

9. Buffalo: 82 points, 29 regulation/OT wins and seven games left
10. Winnipeg: 78 points, 31 regulation/OT wins and eight games left

(Carolina and Toronto aren’t that far behind, but study the expanded standings to determine how much of a chance you believe they have.)

The Capitals did get their charity point, but this is obviously a huge confidence-builder for the Jets – especially since it came on the road. The Sabres are also obviously bigger winners with Washington’s loss; while Buffalo’s time in the eighth spot proved short-lived, they must be taken seriously as a threat for one of the final two playoff spots.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, Sports Club Stats still gives Washington the edge for the eighth spot, but Buffalo definitely made a big jump on Friday.

Medicaid Expansion To Provide More Care For Native Americans

Apr 29, 2013
Originally published on April 29, 2013 5:48 pm

Next year, just over 200,000 Native Americans will become eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. The change translates to more money for the Indian Health Service. The expansion will also force Native American health providers to deal with something they've never faced before — competition from non-tribal health programs.

Aero Contractors Airlines has announced that it would suspend its scheduled services indefinitely from Thursday, September 1, 2016.

According to the airline, the decision was as a result of the current economic situation in the country, which had gravely affected its business over the past six months and by extension, its scheduled services operations.

The airline management, in a statement made available to The Point, however, said that suspending operations was part of the strategic business realignment to reposition the airline and return it to the part of profitability.

“The factors responsible for the suspension are internal and external environmental factors that have made it difficult for the foremost airline to continue its scheduled services,” the airline’s Chief Executive Officer, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu was quoted as saying.

He said that during the period in review, Aero witnessed epileptic operations and services to the external publics that are caused by non-alignment of fundamental issue of the business, which in some cases have been frustrating and embarrassing to all parties including staff, customers and indeed all stakeholders.

Determined to ensure the airline survived unlike some other carriers that experienced short life span in the country, AMCON had earlier in February, appointed Mr. Adeniyi Adegbomire, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, as Receiver Manager, with the aim of turning the airline around.

Since AMCON’s intervention in Aero Contractors in 2011, it had provided support for the airline to meet working capital requirements and fleet expansion.

These were to ensure the airline remained a going concern, providing services to various clients and the general public.

Unfortunately, Akinkuotu said, the operating environment within and outside the airline have hindered any possible progress, especially in the last six months when the Naira depreciated against the dollar, thereby making it impossible for the airline to achieve its operational targets.

“With these realities, coupled with protracted engagements with all relevant stakeholders, the Management of Aero has strenuously reviewed and assessed options and opportunities on ensuring viability, safety and sustainability of operations during the period with a lot of sacrifices.

“The impact of the external environment has been very harsh on our operational performance, hence management decision to suspend scheduled services operations indefinitely effective September 1, 2016, pending when the external opportunities and a robust sustainable and viable plan is in place for Aero Contractors to recommence its scheduled services.

“The implication of the suspension of scheduled services operations extends to all staff directly and indirectly involved in providing services as they are effectively to proceed on indefinite leave of absence during the period of non-services,” Akinkuotu stated.
Nice and tidy.

May 10, 1989

CHARLES McGILL, JR., Plaintiff,

The opinion of the court was delivered by: WOLIN

 In this civil rights action, defendants move for partial summary judgment and for attorney's fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Plaintiff cross-moves for partial summary judgment. For the reasons sets forth below, summary judgment will be entered in favor of defendants on the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Counts of plaintiff's Complaint. Summary judgment is denied as to the Second, Third and Fourteenth Counts of the Complaint. Plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment is denied in its entirety. In addition, defendant's motion for attorney's fees is denied without prejudice as premature.

 This case arises out of a sequence of events that began when plaintiff Charles McGill, Jr. was arrested by officers of the Mountainside and Springfield police departments the night of October 3, 1986. On that night, at approximately 10:30 p.m., the Mountainside police apparently received a call from the Watchung police that a vehicle was traveling east on Route 22 at a high rate of speed. Mountainside police officer John Olock spotted the car and eventually stopped the vehicle. Officers Todd Turner and John Garrett of the Mountainside police and officers Jeff Vreeland and Paul Caron of the Springfield police responded to Officer Olock's call for backup and were also present at the scene.

 What happened when McGill was pulled over remains in dispute, and neither side moves for summary judgment on this precise issue. Plaintiff claims he merely asked what the problem was whereupon he was pulled from his car and beaten by the various officers. The police claim plaintiff verbally abused them, and was then placed under arrest, all the while kicking, punching and screaming at the police. Defendants also imply that plaintiff was intoxicated, although no D.W.I. charges were filed against plaintiff.

 Whatever the cause of the scuffle, plaintiff was placed under arrest and taken to Mountainside police headquarters, where he was placed in a holding cell. McGill was charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest, and cited for speeding and improper lane change. The assault charge was later downgraded to simple assault.

 While in the holding cell, McGill apparently vomited. Plaintiff also claims he had difficulty breathing and repeatedly asked to be taken to the hospital. The next morning plaintiff was taken to Overlook Hospital. He was later released from Overlook Hospital since his bail was posted while he was in the hospital.

 After being released from the hospital, plaintiff contemplated but did not file assault charges against the officers he claims assaulted him. Plaintiff did request that the Mountainside police do an internal affairs investigation into the arrest. On October 14, 1986, Jack Frost, Esq. served upon the Mountainside police a Subpoena Duces Tecum for a Civil Action for "All radio transmissions, tapes, and records, dispatch cards" pertaining to McGill's arrest. The Mountainside police believed the request to be improperly made and did not turn over the material. A few months later the tape of the radio transmissions was erased; however, there is no evidence this was done in bad faith.

 Detective Jerome Rice of the Mountainside police was assigned to do the internal affairs investigation of the events surrounding plaintiff's arrest. He requested that McGill come in to headquarters to give a statement. McGill was reluctant to do this but was informed that his statement was required in order for Detective Rice to investigate the matter. Finally on June 23, 1987, McGill and his attorney went to police headquarters, and McGill gave a taped interview with Detectives Rice and Senanick.

 On October 22, 1987, McGill was tried and convicted in Westfield Municipal Court of simple assault, resisting arrest, speeding and unsafe lane change. The trial court ruled that the taking of McGill's statement was not a violation of his Fifth Amendment rights and that the October 14, 1986 subpoena from McGill's attorney was not a proper discovery request. These holdings were affirmed on appeal by a letter opinion dated June 6, 1988 by Honorable Edward W. McGrath, J.S.C.

 On October 19, 1987, McGill filed a 14 count civil complaint in this Court. Among other things, McGill charges that the Mountainside and Springfield police officers assaulted and battered him, and used excessive force to arrest plaintiff, that Mountainside police officers Sgt. James Debbie and Sgt. R. Della Serra refused to get medical treatment for plaintiff, that he was falsely arrested, that the Mountainside police, Sgt. Rice and Det. Senanick violated his Fifth Amendment rights by refusing to conduct an internal affairs investigation unless plaintiff gave a statement, and that his constitutional rights were violated by the failure of the Mountainside police to respond to the October 14, 1986 subpoena. Plaintiff also claims that he was arrested for obstruction of justice merely because he refused to answer questions, thus violating plaintiff's Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights. Finally, plaintiff alleges that the relevant police departments and municipalities are liable for intentional or negligent failure to adequately train, instruct and supervise their police officers.

 Defendants now move for partial summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's claims that Officers Debbie and Della Serra violated his civil rights by failing to provide medical treatment, that the defendants falsely arrested plaintiff and arrested him without probable cause in violation of his constitutional rights, that Detectives Rice and Senanick violated plaintiff's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, and that Chief Alder and Lt. Mazur violated plaintiff's constitutional rights by failing to preserve the tape of radio conversations on the night of plaintiff's arrest. Defendants also move to dismiss all claims against the municipal defendants. In addition, defendants move for attorneys' fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 because the aforesaid claims are frivolous within the meaning of that statute. Plaintiff cross-moves for summary judgment on the issues of the constitutionality of the Mountainside police practice to require a statement before beginning an internal affairs investigation, the failure to preserve the tape of radio conversations, and the arrest of McGill for failure to respond to police questioning.

 A. Plaintiff's False Arrest Claims

 In the Third Count of his Complaint, plaintiff alleges that defendant Olock falsely arrested the plaintiff for obstruction of administration of justice because of plaintiff's refusal to answer questions. In the Fourteenth Count of the Complaint, plaintiff alleges a general claim of false arrest against all the police officers involved. Defendants contend that plaintiff was not arrested merely for failure to answer questions, and that plaintiff's conviction for the offenses charged acts as an absolute bar to a false arrest claim. Although defendants' argument as to the effect of a conviction on a § 1983 action for false arrest does have support in certain circuits, see, e.g., Cameron v. Fogarty, 806 F.2d 380 (2d Cir. 1986), cert. denied, 481 U.S. 1016, 107 S. Ct. 1894, 95 L. Ed. 2d 501 (1987), the Third Circuit has strongly suggested that it does not approve of such an absolute bar. In Rose v. Bartle, 871 F.2d 331 (3d Cir. 1989), the Third Circuit has recently stated:

It appears that this Court has never indicated that favorable termination is a requisite element of a section 1983 false arrest claim, but rather has suggested to the contrary. See, e.g., Patzig v. O'Neil, 577 F.2d 841, 848 (3d Cir. 1978) . . . . Furthermore, whatever the prevailing common law rule, we have some doubts as to the policy determinations underlying Cameron.

 Rose, slip op. at 43-44 (emphasis in original). The Fifth Circuit has also apparently determined that conviction is not an absolute bar to a § 1983 action for false arrest. Brown v. Edwards, 721 F.2d 1442, 1448-49 n.8 (5th Cir. 1984).

 Given the Third Circuit's statements in Rose, this Court is not prepared to find that the conviction of McGill is an absolute defense for the police officers against McGill's general false arrest claims. Thus, Count Fourteen of ...

I wish he’d demand that Gov. Corzine tell us: Is he going to release his e-mails in the Ms. Katz scandal? Talk of conflict of interest. Did she pay tax on the “gift” she received?

Shouldn’t Cryan be asking the governor—who, while running for office, promised he would cut property tax—what happened there? I’m not sure of anyone else, but my taxes here in East Hanover have been going up, up, up, during his years as governor. How, Cryan should be asking, can small businesses hire anyone when they are being taxed at such high rates that they must leave the state or institute hiring freezes?

Cryan, (if he really cared about the state, and the lives of daughters, sisters, wives, fathers, husbands and sons), politics should not have played in any part of the last minute “concessions” to the unions before the governor’s rally in West Orange. Yes, Mr. Cryan, you and Gov. Corzine owe us truth and should clean your own political house first.

APIs are bringing a new face to EdTech

Education, APIs, and the Changing Face of EdTech

Education is a space that many would argue is in dire need of disruption. With the average college degree in the USA costing tens of thousands of dollars per year, the ivory tower of academia is one that’s only available to those who are lucky enough to get a scholarship, willing to take on plenty of personal debt or have very prepared (and generous) parents.

Tools Built on Top of The Docker API

Docker is a popular new technology that lets development teams bundle applications in virtual containers to easily build and deploy them. We’ve previously seen how Docker reduces the complexity of DevOps workflows and encourages the practice of immutable infrastructure, where the entire application, along with its underlying operating system, is recreated and redeployed as a lightweight container for each change to an application, rather than relying on incremental updates.

Is Your API the Cinderella or the Crown Princess?

Have you noticed that your API sometimes feels a bit misunderstood, seen as a sideline or a purely technical solution?

This might happen because you put your API to do menial work with no real business strategy. It may also be because the API documentation is not pretty, correct, or understandable. Read more

16 August 2007

Only a month left!

Until the preseason, at least. August certainly is the loneliest month for the hockey faithful.

Not much going on in the Land of Penguin, but they have set up a web cam at the site of the new arena for those of us outside the area that have nothing better to do than watch a fuzzy webcam of construction workers on break. Still, all snark aside, it's a nice touch for the fans that have been waiting a life time to see this bad boy come to completion.

In television news, OLNUSUS has announced their schedule and the Pens mark 8 times on it, 3 of which are against the Rangers. Can fans really not get enough of booing Jagr or do the execs just really like New York? NBC has put out a 'flexible' schedule for it's Sunday games, and from the article, it sounds like they'll pick from 4 games to show (how they choose, it doesn't say. Names in a hat? Shortest straw? Team closest to the salary cap?) and then broadcast that one as the so-called 'Game of the Week', while the rest will just be bumped back to their regional carriers. Super, so games of the Rangers, the Devils, and some random Western team will crush out Boston and Pittsburgh (although I have hopes for the Pens, thankyouverymuch Sidney Crosby for being cute, marketable, and a genius at hockey, not to mention the baby-faced squad around you). Thank god for NESN (although I could do without Hazel Mae).

It isn't often that I talk about the Rangers in any sort of light other than 'scathing', but this video struck me as sort of cute and rather interesting, mostly due to the second eldest Staal making an appearance. Also, poor Cherepanov, 'The Siberian Express'? He's fast and....cold?

EDIT: I found this little tidbit on TSN, Gretzky on K.Lowe: ``He's not doing anything against the system or behind the backs of anyone, and good for him.'' Interesting. Also, Gretzky spoke up in defense of Edmonton itself, since it's apparently now thought of as the retirement home for hockey players, or 'the Siberia of hockey for pro players'. Ouch. Does anyone remember the 2005-2006 season?

Also, Mike Ricci retired (yes, there's a picture). Not much to say on that except that any excuse for knob hockey is a good excuse in my book.

Elly, I might be able to record Pens games locally, transcode them, toss them on a DVD, and send them to you or something if you want. I'd volunteer to upload them, but I get like, 15bits of upload per decade with my ISP, so it'd take a while.

Elly said...

Oh, you are a sweetheart! I really (and I mean really) appreciate the offer, but I'm going in for Center Ice this year. I will not be without more Penguins! :)

Teebz said...

I need Centre Ice. Elly, can you set up a webcam on your TV so I can watch with you? :o)

Living in a hockey-mad, non-NHL market sucks.

Steph said...

Oooh Teebz, now there's an idea. I wonder if buying a webcam to send to Elly would be cheaper than getting Centre Ice myself.

Elly said...

Teebz: This will be my first year of having full access to the Pens, so I'm really excited. I'm used to living on whatever the local stations will give me, so it's going to be a treat! I am sadly webcam-less, though. :(

Steph: Ah, but just remember, you'll be getting the All-Pens station from me. :) And some Bruins, but...

Dwayne said...

No problem! I'll probably be doing it for a few other friends anyway, so it really wouldn't've been any extra work :D

I really can't wait for the season to start. I just broke out NHL 2k7 and started playing a season just to get *some* sort of hockey fix. It's alot like methadone instead of heroin, which is to say it -kind- of works, butttttttttttt not really at all.

Still, it's better than nothing.

Teebz said...

I may have to send you money to get a cam just to have you broadcast it over the web. I wonder if that breaks the broadcasting rights?

I may start doing something like this with Hockey Night In Canada. This might be the next wave of hockey bloggers uniting. :o)

The Atlantic Steel Co. sits, literally, on the wrong side of Atlanta's tracks, cut off from the city's bustling development to the east by 12 lanes of heavily traveled highway. Its isolation is ironic in a city that owes its very existence to movement - first as a major railroad stop in the 1800s, and now more recently as an important hub for the airlines.

Yet it may be another Atlanta symbol - the Phoenix, rising from its ashes - that motivates a handful of developers who are working to revitalize all 144 acres of the Atlantic Steel site.

"It could be the gateway to Atlanta, finally tying east Midtown to west Midtown," explains Jim Jacoby, chairman of Atlanta-based Jacoby Development Inc. (JDI), which contracted to buy the site in 1997 for $76 million.

The company plans to redevelop the brownfield as a mixed-use project with as much as 7 million sq. ft. of office space, 5,000 residential units, nearly 2,000 hotel rooms and 1.5 million sq. ft. of retail/entertainment space. (The Atlantic Steel Co., which has been manufacturing steel on the property since 1901, is responsible for the remediation of the site, estimated to cost as much as $20 million.)

Jacoby says much of the development, including the residential units and retail space, will be completed within three to four years, but acknowledges a longer timeframe - up to 15 years - before the entire project is completed.

The Mills Corp., Arlington, Va., is developing 1.2 million sq. ft. of the project's retail space with tenants that include Virgin Records and the Rainforest Cafe. Post Properties, an Atlanta-based multifamily housing developer, plans up to 2,400 residential units on the site, and Hines Interests L.P., a Houston-based real estate firm, will develop up to 5 million sq. ft. of office space.

None of which, however, changes the fact that the proposed development remains cut off from Atlanta's thriving Buckhead and Midtown neighborhoods. Only a bridge spanning Interstates 75 and 85, the roads that divide Midtown Atlanta, can correct that problem.

"Connectivity is definitely the linchpin of this deal," admits Charles Brown, president of Atlanta-based CRB Realty Associates and a consultant for JDI on the Atlantic Steel project. "We want to build a bridge that connects the east and west sides of the freeway, and we're suggesting that it not only have vehicular access but also do it in the form of a linear park so pedestrians and cyclists can use it." Brown estimates the cost of the bridge, which would be funded by state, federal and private funds, to be between $15 million and $25 million.

But building a bridge in Atlanta, a city that violates the Clean Air Act and has no formal plan to correct the problem, isn't as simple as it seems.

"Beginning this year, all new highway projects, even those that had already been approved, could not proceed because of Atlanta's conformity lapse with air quality standards," explains Jim Kutzman, Environmental Protection Agency deputy director for the Air Management Division, Region 4.

Kutzman is reviewing JDI's proposal to determine whether the Atlantic Steel project qualifies for an exemption to the current ban on highway construction. In order to qualify for an exemption, Kutzman says, the project must de monstrate some superior environmental benefits to the community. "In their favor, Jacoby's going to be cleaning up a brownfield and, being that it's also an in-fill project, it's an efficient use of space," he notes. "On the downside, there's the possibility of increased traffic."

Although Kutzman says it's too early to predict which way the decision will go, he anticipates a final announcement by May 1999.

Even if the EPA grants Jacoby an exemption, called a traffic control measure, there's still another hurdle to clear.

As part of its proposal, Jacoby not only wants to build a bridge that spans I-75/85, locally known as the Downtown Connector, the company also wants to build access ramps to the interstate on both sides of the bridge. Ramp construction happens to be the domain of another regulatory agency, the Federal Highway Administration, which must determine what kind of impact the project would have on area traffic.

"It's a good project but there are a lot of unanswered questions," says Faye DiMassimo, assistant division administrator for the Federal Highway Administration. "We're estimating two years for a final decision, assuming things go reasonably well."

Both Kutzman and DiMassimo say the decision process is far from finished, but add that neither of the agencies they work for would be involved with the project unless they thought it had a chance of succeeding.

"I can't sit here and say everything's OK, but we think the project is worthwhile," Kutzman adds.

If JDI does get all the approvals it needs to proceed, the project could dramatically alter Atlanta's landscape. A host of powerful private and political groups are working to help ensure that it does.

Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell calls the Atlantic Steel project the city's "most important development in the past 50 years." He is meeting with U.S. Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater to discuss the development and the projected 20,000 jobs it could bring to the city.

Neighboring groups on Atlanta's westside, including Georgia Technical Institute and Coca-Cola, also want in on the action. They are discussing the idea of building a light rail system to connect the Atlantic Steel project with their own facilities, as well as Centennial Olympic Park and The Georgia World Congress Center.

The Atlantic Steel project is JDI's first foray into mixed-use development, much less urban renewal and highway construction. The company is known more for building "Power Centers," large retail projects with anchor tenants such as Wal-Mart, than for developing in-fill sites or restoring brownfield areas.

But under Jim Jacoby's leadership - he is an environmentalist whose work restoring estuaries in his home state of Florida is well chronicled - the company is going to continue developing environmentally damaged areas and in-fill sites. Jacoby is currently considering redeveloping former military bases in California.

"This isn't a one-time deal for us," he adds. "An opportunity to do a mixed-use project like Atlantic Steel isn't something that's necessarily a give-back to the community, but it is a win-win for the environment and the economy."

Faculty Forum: Nursing Innovation

December 14, 2015 | Tags: ,

December 14, 2015, Noon-1:00 p.m.
104 Carrington

With the University’s current focus on innovation, how will the SON rise to the challenge?

Kay Wagoner, SON alum and expert in innovation, will be here to discuss how to expand nursing ideas (and products) beyond academia.

Nurses are often disinclined to see their ideas/efforts/products as having broader applicability and appeal, and this disinclination inhibits innovation and potential for wider reach. Small ideas can grow into large projects with big impact if those ideas are channeled effectively.

Congratulations to Dr. Mayer: Selected for workshop, “The Entrepreneurial Mindset — Maximizing Faculty Impact”

January 19, 2012 | In Faculty, News, Research Tags: , , ,

Mayer_Preferred Dr. Mayer

SON Faculty Deborah Mayer has been selected as a participant in the workshop, "The Entrepreneurial Mindset — Maximizing Faculty Impact," on May 14-17, 2012.

This workshop focuses on entrepreneurial thinking and turning ideas into reality. It is designed to help faculty members identify opportunities, develop strategies for implementing their creative ideas, understanding costs and raising money, and assessing progress toward meeting goals. Dr. Mayer’s research includes the development, implementation, and evaluation of eHealth interventions for cancer survivors. She currently has an NCI-funded study that developed a smart phone application for increasing physical activity in colon cancer survivors (SurvivorCHESS), which is now in a randomized controlled trial at three institutions. She will use this opportunity to explore ways to disseminate this application if the trial demonstrates that the application is efficacious.
