How long have you been on this combination? If one is a recent addition, give it some time for your body to adjust. Does your doctor know of this concern?
Back in the late 90s until about '03, I was on Keppra, Lamictal, Topamax,and another AED(at this time the name escapes me) . I was always tired. I called it "prescriped fatigue".
I wasn't sleepy but just tired. I had no problems sleeping during the night.
Are you taking any other meds, not just AEDs?
Hey Jen, is it the Top or Kep that has the low energy side effect? I don't recall that being mentioned to me. Or simply I didn't think much of it. Thanks for that piece of info.
An.252...do you mind sharing your name with us? How long have you been having seizures?
Please check with us soon and give us an update.
The Lamictal is the med that I found the low energy side effect for listed as an infrequent side effect but it does list drowsiness as a common side effect.And as you probably already know the drowsiness is about one of the first listed with Keppra.
I hope that now that i am getting rid of my dilantin little by little that things will level out so I can get back to my usual life. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Have you any problems with gum tenderness? When I was on dilantin back in the 70s, my gums were awful. I also had braces back then. My gums were so bad that they had swollen aound my braces and would often bleed when I brushed my teeth. That was harder to deal with than the seizures I was having at that time.
Just another piece of info I'm passing along. You'll be back to your "usual" self soon. My fingers are crossed for you too.
Candi thank you for the information about the adrenal glands. That could help out a lot.
Angie I have only been on dilantin since April 29th but I have not noticed the difference in my gums. That sounds painful. But dilantin dose is down to 200mg one time a day.
I think I have a better chance of getting back to me soon, my step daughter is going to be with us for the next two weeks. She distracts me from thinking about medical stuff all the time. I love her from the bottom of my heart. I came in to her dad's life as his girlfriend right about the time she was born. His previous relationship with her mom was not healthy at all. The good thing is that I feel like she is my own because I have been in her life so long. She needs more supervision than my husband so hopefully you all have a good weekend.
I tried the juice concoction last nite. I awoke at 2. I had every intention of getting up & going across the street to let the doggies out & wham fell asleep again. But, awoke again at 3:15. I'm sure the Doggies appreciated it. But, I sure wish I could have/would have slept Longer. Good news for me, was the pup (3 dogs, 2 mature, one about 1 yr or more) didn't leave a mess for me. So, the Pup is Finally learning to control herself.
Jen, over the yrs I have learned that Kids don't have to be ours to be Ours. Know what I mean? I'm sure you Do! I have a Lot of Kids! But, only 2 are really Mine. Have Fun keeping up w/ her.
I am Glad you are getting Off Dilantin! It has proven to be one of our Worst meds, as far as side effects. Although we did have a gentleman on here last yr, Ed, who was on it for over 30 yrs. He never mentioned side effects. He was more concerned cuz, Stress caused him to have a seizure after being seizure free for so long. Lost his Drivers License, Mechanic License & job all at once. He is now on Facebook w/ me & is constantly asking the same questions. No One has any answers for him, except to seek another DR! It's been 3 yrs & he still can't get his licenses. He was blaming it on the doc, but, this yr, doc showed him papers that were signed & witnessed by Ed's sisters to reinstate his License. So, he now has to battle DMV. He Loves Me! Seriously! Whoops ramblin.
Hope you enjoyed Your weekend & definitely, have a Good Time w/ your 'daughter'. How Old is she Now? A Teen? Yikes! A Grown woman? Which ever, ENJOY! Hugs to all!
Love Candi
I am sorry the juice didn't seem to work for you. I love puppies, but we live in an apartment so it isn't an option for us right now. I definitely know what you mean about kids that are ours. I have a mama bear that comes out when anything happens wrong with my kiddo. She is just going to be 8 years old in June. She was part of my motivation to lose weight. Before the med change I could outrun her. I am still having some dizziness so I haven't run for almost 5 weeks now.
I hope all goes well for your friend Ed for the license. I am currently unable to drive and I am very used to my independence and being able to go so I feel like a hermit and can sympathize a little for him. I don't know if it is all in my head or if from everything I have been told or read, but I agree that I don't think Dilantin would have worked for me long term. Maybe it would have but those side effects for me were nutso. I haven't ever been as uncomfortable as the first two weeks on that stuff. I think the anxiety is still there a little but at the same time I am a worrier anyway as it is.
I am now working on getting my communication more open about bills and side effects etc with my husband. It is hard sometimes with him because he is the type to say everything will be fine because he thinks it is what I want to hear, and he doesn't tell me much about what he worries about in general, not just about my health but I am saying our whole relationship it takes a lot to get the layers peeled back on him to get him to open up sometimes. we have talked more in the last few days and gone through medical plans/bills a little to be on the same page about things. so I guess slowly we will get there.
Day by day is how I look at it.
I know what you mean about the Dilantin. I Know I couldn't tolerate it Long Term, either. Was More than Happy to try another med. And Another. And another. Trial & error is no picnic, but, worht it when you get on a med that not only controls seizures, but, leaves ya Functional, too!
I'll be trying the juice Again tonite. It may just be that my Inner Clock is is still On! Been doing this for over 10 yrs. Habits can be H*** to Break.
Love Candi
I do not take Keppra. I take 800 mgs of Lamictal. so yes it makes me sleep alot, but I also take 100 mgs of Vimpat (getting rid of it), 200 mgs of Topamax and 3 mgs of Klonopin. And a VNS.
I hope things are going okay since I last posted. If memory serves me right, I recall being on a much higher dosage than you are. Glad you haven't experienced that discomfort about the gums.
Kids will definitely distract us from our worries/concerns. They have that simple way of making us feel good and loved. It's unfortunate that we lose that simplicity as we grew older. Tell her I said "hi". Enjoy each other. Is she coming for the summer or a short visit? It doesn't matter. You have a someone who will keep your mind clear of your medical concerns.
Everyone enjoy the day. Have a good weekend.
We have my step daughter 2 weeks at a time throughout the summer, we trade off with her mom. She has been a God sent this week. She is almost eight. The one day she said that she wanted to scrub the floors and clean all day to keep me "up and going." I laughed but we did clean most of the morning. The only thing I am worried about now is going back to work after weeks of being gone. I have this next week off to complete the med change. I in some cases am ready to be back but just scared of the stress I will put on myself. But I feel stronger with each day and have managed to be seizure free throughout the med change so far so I try to keep looking at the positive parts of this process. researching epilepsy while I have been off and talking to people online has made me more aware of different aspects of epilepsy that I had never thought about. Have a good weekend everyone.
I sure could have used that young lady yesterday when I was doing the kitchen floor. Bless her heart.
Sounds like the med change is going smoothly. Have you discussed your concerns about returning to work with your coworkers. You never know where support is. I was blessed with some wonderful coworkers who gave me full support.
I do understand the fear/concern you are now experiencing. Will things continue to be as smooth once I return to work. I'm sure many others have had those same/similar agitations.
But it sounds like you're ready to return. You're looking ahead and planning for "what ifs". I think you'll be fine. Talk with your helper and see what she thinks. Kids simplicity opens up doors that we have often closed.
Have a good day. Hugs to your daughter.

Our Mission
The Jackson Hole Community School is a small independent, ninth to twelfth grade school that prepares students of diverse backgrounds for college and life beyond. We offer challenging academics, excellence in teaching, an array of extracurricular activities, and a supportive school culture. Our students are invested in their learning, value personal initiative, and make thoughtful contributions to their community.
Our Philosophy
We are a school that is committed to the highest standards of education, which will lead to a life of intellectual exploration and learning. We believe in the importance of diversity within our school, and therefore, we seek to develop a school community comprised of diverse cultural, racial, religious, and economic backgrounds. We encourage our students to be independent thinkers who embody a sense of personal integrity and an understanding of fairness and justice. We believe in a commitment to service that requires every person to be a responsible and contributing member of society. We value respect for each individual and embrace ideas and opinions that are different from our own. We encourage our students to succeed individually and to develop skills which will help them to become positive members of a team. We believe that a worthwhile educational experience that fosters continued learning requires a collaborative effort from the school, the home and the community.
Our History
The planning for the Jackson Hole Community School (JHCS) began in the fall of 1999 when the founders, Kathleen Crowley and Scott Hirschfield, met to discuss possibilities for a new high school in Jackson, Wyoming. Initially, the founders researched the charter law in Wyoming and found it to be quite weak and unsupportive for a start-up high school. Thus, the founders attempted to open as an independent school. Over the next year, they created the mission, philosophy and curriculum for JHCS and were able to recruit faculty members as well as twenty students, who were set to enroll in the Fall of 2001. Unfortunately, just a month before opening, the space the founders had planned to lease fell through, leaving JHCS without a home. Over the next year, the Wyoming charter law gained some strength through changes made by the Wyoming State Legislature. As true believers in the public school system, Crowley and Hirschfield decided to make a run to open the first public charter high school in the state of Wyoming. The pair submitted an application to the Teton County School Board #1 after a year of planning. In the meantime, they had applied and received a $250,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, they had lined up fifty students, who were excited to enroll for the Fall of 2003. Despite these efforts and despite tremendous local support, the Teton County School District Board #1 denied the charter application. After much thought, Crowley and Hirschfield decided they would pursue opening an independent school in Jackson, one that operates separately from the public system. The Jackson Hole Community School completed its inaugural year in 2004-2005 with 18 students in the ninth and tenth grades. The eleventh grade was added for the 2005-2006 school year and enrollment increased to 29 students. JHCS graduated its first senior class in 2006-2007. Enrollment for 2014-2015 is 96 students.
Guiding Principles
Challenging Academics
Students are expected to complete a curriculum that is rigorous, innovative, and focused on teaching academic, social and interpersonal skills. Students are expected to be prepared for their academic studies, to participate in their learning, to become self-reliant thinkers, and to develop a sense of purpose and agency, which will guide them in their future endeavors.
Learning Through Discovery
Learning and teaching are directed towards building knowledge and acquiring skills by cultivating habits of inquiry, exploration, and self-worth in all students. Allowing for learning to begin with curiosity and to be fueled by the passions of the students and teachers is the cornerstone of our school.
Commitment to Educating
All members of the school's community, including students, teachers, non-teaching staff and parents are expected to take part in the education of each student. All are expected to make a commitment to fostering a collaborative educational environment.
Community Participation
Service to and compassion for others is expected from all students. One of the school's primary functions is to prepare its students with the attitudes and skills to learn from and to be of service to others. Service is a way for all participants to be active members of the community and encourages their responsibility in the world.
Personal and Group Achievement
Students are expected to demonstrate commitment and perseverance in all of their personal and group endeavors. Students are expected to challenge themselves outside their realm of comfort and are expected to become aware of their own values and how these values impact their personal and group decisions. A tremendous emphasis is placed on the benefits of teamwork, caring for others, and developing strong interpersonal relationships.
Environmental Consciousness
Students are actively engaged in protecting and in learning from the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Developing a relationship with the natural world involves exploration, adventure, reflection, and solitude. Students learn to appreciate other living things and to become stewards of the earth.
Respect For Diversity
We believe that there are many routes to knowledge and that encountering diversity fosters learning. Participants must be committed to embracing diversity and practicing inclusivity as a means for creating such an environment. All participants are honored for what they bring to the community.
Excellence in Teaching
All staff are encouraged to reach their highest potential as educators. This includes demanding excellence from both oneself and one's students, exposing students to all aspects of learning, finding ways to constantly improve educational techniques, and helping to guide the direction of the school. All staff are committed to treating co-workers as professionals and to creating a nurturing environment based upon respect and teamwork.
The Jackson Hole Community School is a small independent, ninth to twelfth grade school that prepares students of diverse backgrounds for college and life beyond.

You could be forgiven for thinking that Edmund and Eunice Power's fine B&B in Dungarvan has been here for generations - although quite new, the garden has matured well and this, together with traditional country house style of both the house and furnishing, gives it an unexpected sense of age.
Antiques and interesting fabrics create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere throughout the house, including a comfortable, homely sitting room as well as bedrooms which have been individually decorated and finished to a high standard, with smart bathrooms and all the necessary comforts.
Eunice is an enthusiastic professional cook (she teaches cooking classes in house, details on application, and at The Tannery Cookery School, nearby) and, as well as running a successful outside catering company, offers dinner to residents by arrangement; her menus are based on local produce and their own vegetable garden is now fully productive, allowing Eunice to be self-sufficient in seasonal produce during the summer.
The breakfast offering is a moveable feast, depending on what's in season, and it's always a treat. Much of the produce used is organic and eggs are from the their own hens, happily scratching outside. Don't expect a formal menu though, or an elaborate buffet. Instead, Eunice explains what's available to guests, and she will happily prepare pretty much anything requested.
On a recent visit, seasonal dishes heartily enjoyed included stewed gooseberries with yogurt and granola, served with fresh raspberries; also Ardsallagh goat's cheese served on toasted bread with grilled tomatoes,mushrooms and toasted hazelnuts - a very refreshing and healthy change to the more usual 'Full Irish' (which, of course, is also available).
Powersfield is a lovely, friendly place to stay and would make a good base for exploring the area - and it's worth staying for the breakfast alone.

Tennessee Dec. Tax Revenues Exceed Projection
Tennessee revenue collections for December came in stronger than the same month a year before. Finance and Administration Commissioner Mark Emkes reported today that state revenue collections for December were $982.2 million, which is 1.71% above December 2011. December sales tax collections represent consumer spending that occurred in November.
"Total revenues in December were higher than expected due to over collections in the sales and corporate tax categories," Emkes said. "We believe the December sales tax growth rate, which includes 'Black Friday' and after-Thanksgiving sales, may reflect renewed consumer confidence, but January's report will give us a fuller picture with Christmas retail activity.
"Because of anticipated requirements for Fiscal Year 2014, we will closely monitor our spending for the balance of this year, working closely with the Legislature in order to end this year with a balanced budget."
On an accrual basis, December is the fifth month in the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
December collections were $22.0 million more than the budgeted estimate. The general fund was over collected by $24.8 million and the four other funds were under collected by $2.8 million.
Sales tax collections were $11.7 million more than the estimate for December. The December growth rate was 5.01%. For five months revenues are under collected by $18.3 million, and the year-to-date growth rate is 2.51%.
Franchise and excise taxes combined were $12.6 million above the budgeted estimate of $230.4 million. For five months revenues are over collected by $91.4 million.
Gasoline and motor fuel collections for December decreased by 7.52% and they were $3.4 million below the budgeted estimate of $66.1 million. For five months revenues are under collected by $11.8 million.
Tobacco tax collections were $2.2 million below the budgeted estimate of $24.9 million, and for five months they are $6.7 million below the budgeted estimate.
Privilege tax collections were $3.8 million more than the budgeted estimate of $14.5 million. Year-to-date collections for five months are $10.8 million above the budgeted estimate.
Inheritance and estate taxes were under collected by $1.6 million for the month. For five months collections are $4.4 million above the budgeted estimate.
All other taxes were over collected by a net of $1.1 million.
Year-to-date collections for five months were $73.6 million more than the budgeted estimate. The general fund was over collected by $84.1 million and the four other funds were under collected by $10.5 million.
The budgeted revenue estimates for 2012-2013 are based on the State Funding Board's consensus recommendation of December 19th, 2011 and adopted by the second session of the 107th General Assembly in April 2012. They are available on the state's website at http://www.tn.gov/finance/bud/budget.html.
The State Funding Board met on December 14, 2012 to hear updated revenue projections from the state's various economists. The board met again on December 19 and adopted revised revenue ranges for 2012-2013. The revised ranges assume an over collection from the July 2012 budgeted estimate in the amount of $203.0 million to $287.3 million in total taxes and in the amount of $224.2 million to $305.9 million in general fund taxes for the current fiscal year.

Last Update on July 30, 2014 07:27 GMT
TOKYO (AP) -- Asian stocks rose Wednesday ahead of U.S. economic data and as cheery earnings from major Japanese companies such as Honda Motor Co. countered a lower close on Wall Street.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 recouped losses at the open to rise 0.3 percent to 15,662.84 in morning trading. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong, South Korea's Kospi and Sydney's S&P/ASX all gained ground.
Honda shares added 3 percent after a strong quarterly earnings report Tuesday, released after Tokyo stock trading closed, which prompted the Japanese automaker to raise its full year projections. The cheap yen is working as a plus for export manufacturers such as Honda, which are expanding sales in China and other emerging markets.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Commerce Department later this morning will release the gross domestic product for the second quarter -- a report being closely watched in many quarters.
The economy shrank at a steep annual rate of 2.9 percent in the January-March quarter. Analysts said the harsh winter had contributed to the biggest contraction since the depths of the recession five years ago.
The policymakers of the Federal Reserve conclude a two-day meeting, and the central bank is not expected to announce any dramatic moves.
Among the quarterly earnings reports due today, Wellpoint Inc. and Goodyear Tire & Rubber will release results before the market opens and Whole Foods Markets Inc. reports its quarterly financial report after the market closes.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most analysts don't expect the Federal Reserve to make any major pronouncements or headlines when it ends a two-day meeting in Washington Wednesday.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen gave few hints about changes in the benchmark short-term interest rate or the Fed's enormous investment holdings when she testified to Congress this month. There will be a brief policy statement, but Yellen won't hold a news conference.
The Fed is expected to make a sixth $10 billion cut in its monthly bond purchases, which have been aimed at keeping long-term rates low.
Most analysts believe maintaining the status quo is likely because the economy needs less help now. Hiring is solid and manufacturing is strengthening. Consumers are voicing renewed confidence.
But because workers' pay remains flat and there is international uncertainty in Ukraine and the Mideast, there are potential threats. That likely means the Fed will leave its key short-term rate at a record low near zero "for a considerable time" after it ends its bond purchases.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Analysts are upbeat about what the government is expected to announce Wednesday.
The Commerce Department will provide its first estimate of how much the gross domestic product -- the economy's total output of goods and services -- grew in the April-June quarter.
According to a survey of economists by the data firm FactSet, the economy expanded at an annual rate of 2.9 percent. That would be a warming trend compared to the January-March period when unusually severe weather was blamed for 2.9 percent contraction, the biggest since the depths of the recession five years ago.
Some forecasters are encouraged about the remainder of the year and predict a period of acceleration. They cite hiring gains, surging consumer confidence, a cutback in business stockpiling and a rebound in business capital spending on new equipment.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stronger-than-expected financial results pushed Twitter's stock sharply higher on Tuesday after the short messaging service said its revenue more than doubled in the second quarter.
The San Francisco-based company's stock jumped 29.6 percent to $50.01 in extended trading after the results came out.
Twitter posted a net loss of $144.6 million, or 24 cents per share, in the April-June period. That compares with a loss of $42.2 million, or 32 cents per share, a year earlier when Twitter was still a private company.
Adjusted earnings were 2 cents per share in the latest quarter, beating analysts' expectations of a loss of 1 cent, according to FactSet.
Revenue was $312.2 million, up from $139.3 million.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Argentina's finance secretary and economy minister met with a court-appointed mediator as the South American nation worked into the night to prevent its second default in 13 years.
Minister Axel Kicillof arrived Tuesday evening at the Manhattan offices of a mediator appointed to try to strike a deal by midnight Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Griesa last week ordered around-the-clock negotiations to avoid a default, but no face-to-face talks between negotiators for Argentina and bondholders had occurred by the time Argentina officials arrived Tuesday morning.
Argentina has blamed the judge for the crisis, saying his orders are forcing it into insolvency.
DETROIT (AP) -- The four-door Mini Cooper Countryman was the only one of 12 cars to earn a top rating of "good" in new frontal crash tests.
The Nissan Leaf, Nissan Juke, Fiat 500L and Mazda5 wagon fared the worst in tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The frontal test, introduced in 2012, replicates what happens when 25 percent of a car's front end strikes a rigid object at 40 miles per hour.
The Chevrolet Volt, Ford C-Max, Mitsubishi Lancer, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ all got the second-highest rating of "acceptable." The Hyundai Veloster and Scion xB got "moderate" ratings.
The Volt was the only car in the group to earn the institute's "Top Safety Pick Plus" rating, because it has an optional front crash-prevention system
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) -- Biologic drugmaker Amgen plans to lay off 12 percent to 15 percent of its worldwide workforce and close sites in Colorado and Washington state to fund investments, particularly launching new drugs.
The layoffs will happen this year and next, eliminating 2,400 to 2,900 jobs, mostly in the U.S. The announcement came even as the company reported second-quarter results that trounced Wall Street expectations.
Amgen said it will streamline the company, reduce management layers and reduce its real estate footprint by 23 percent.
The company based in Thousand Oaks, California anticipates charges of $775 million to $950 million, mostly in 2014 and 2015. It expects modest 2015 savings, but expense reductions in 2016 of about $700 million, versus 2013 spending. Most savings will be reinvested, including expanding operations in the biotech hubs of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and South San Francisco, California. The company manufactures Prolia for osteoporosis and anemia treatment Aranesp.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- Three reporters for a food safety publication have been subpoenaed in the $1.2 billion defamation lawsuit against ABC related to the network's coverage of a meat product derided as "pink slime."
Court records show that the writers for the online Food Safety News have been asked to supply all communication they had with ABC in 2012.
Attorney Bruce Johnson said Tuesday the subpoenas were "overreaching" and that the publication would fight the requests.
Beef Products Inc. sued ABC in 2012 alleging that its reports led to plant closures and layoffs because it misled consumers into believing the product was unsafe. The industry describes the meat product as "lean, finely textured beef."
Attorneys for ABC and BPI have proposed a trial date in February 2017.
NEW YORK (AP) -- McDonald's is coming under intensifying pressure for labor practices at its U.S. restaurants.
The National Labor Relations Board said Tuesday that the world's biggest hamburger chain could be named as a joint employer in several complaints regarding worker rights at franchise-owned restaurants. The decision is pivotal because it could expose McDonald's Corp. to liability for management practices in those locations.
It also comes as protests for higher pay have captured national attention, with labor groups calling for pay of $15 an hour and the right to unionize. Organizers had been pushing to get McDonald's named as a joint employer at franchised restaurants, a move intended to give them a centralized and powerful target.
In the U.S., the vast majority of McDonald's more than 14,000 restaurants are owned and operated by franchisees. The same is true for many other fast-food chains, including Burger King and Yum Brands, which owns Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza hut. As such, the companies have sought to distance themselves from the pay protests by saying they don't determine wages.
DETROIT (AP) -- A trial to determine if Detroit gets out of bankruptcy has been delayed by a week to Aug. 21.
Judge Steven Rhodes filed a new schedule Tuesday. Some creditors wanted a longer postponement, but he settled on seven days. Rhodes found "extraordinary cause" for "limited adjournments."
It's the second delay in the historic case. The trial was first scheduled for July, a year after Detroit filed for protection under Chapter 9.
Detroit's plan to erase or greatly reduce $18 billion in debt has been approved by many creditors, including thousands of retirees. But nothing will happen unless the judge finds that the overall strategy is fair and feasible.
The greatest resistance is coming from bond insurers who stand to lose millions. The trial likely will last weeks.

NORMAN — They won't be on campus for another eight months, but Oklahoma baseball coach Sunny Golloway stocked the shelves of his program, signing 13 on Wednesday
"I'm really excited about this signing class and the balance that it brings to our program," Golloway said in statement. "Our coaching staff has done an outstanding job of filling our future needs. Although we understand that some of these young men will have an opportunity to sign a Major League Baseball contract, we feel we have projected well to keep our program in a strong position and have extremely talented student-athletes representing the University of Oklahoma for years to come."
The Sooners' recruiting class consists of 10 high school players for the 2014 campaign, including a trio from Oklahoma. Right-handed pitcher Bryant Hodge (Christian Heritage Academy), infielder Trey Michalczewski (Jenks) and right-handed pitcher Kyle Stephens (Edmond North).
OU's out-of-state high school recruits include infielder Niko Buentello from Lewisville (Texas) High School, right-handed pitcher Jake Elliott from Coppell (Texas) High School, right-handed pitcher Alec Hansen from Loveland (Colo.) High School, left-handed pitcher Chris Kohler (Alta Loma, Calif./Los Osos HS), infielder/right-handed pitcher Sheldon Neuse (Fort Worth, Texas/Fossil Ridge HS), catcher Jacob Nottingham (Redlands, Calif./Redlands HS) and left-handed pitcher Octavio Rodriguez (El Paso, Texas/Franklin HS).
OU also added three from the junior college ranks, including infielder Josh Ake (Readington, N.J./Howard College), utility player Keach Ballard (Silo/Murray State College) and right-handed pitcher Caleb Simpson (Norman North/Seminole State).
"We're very excited about the strength of our incoming recruiting class," said recruiting coordinator Jack Giese. "There's no question that all of these young men have a chance to come in and have an immediate impact on our program."

Cumberland Times-News
"Hero" is a word that tends to be overworked, but there are times when its use is appropriate.
It's the word we would use to describe a Keyser, W.Va. police officer who entered a smoke-filled home Wednesday night after he heard someone was still inside. Arriving before firefighters, he went in alone, found an unconscious woman and pulled her outside to safety.
Keyser Police Chief Karen Shoemaker did not identify him, saying that "This officer, and all of our officers, risk their lives every day in their service to the community and I am very proud of all of them." In other words, he was doing his job to the best of his ability and upholding the traditions of his service.
Many of our area's first responders, whether police officers, volunteer or paid firefighters, emergency medical technicians and 911 dispatchers, have done the same, particularly in recent days. The danger of residential fires grows when the weather turns frigid, and numerous homes have been destroyed or damaged by fires in the last week.
Few civilians could imagine the devotion and determination shown by these first responders. They frequently must leave their warm beds in the middle of the night to turn out in sub-freezing temperatures in the hopes of saving people's lives or property from fire or some other disaster — often working to the point of exhaustion.
That is, unless, they are unfortunate enough to be among the victims of such fires.
A home may be damaged beyond repair, but if a life is preserved, it is a victory for which we have our heroes to thank.

is that the LG on the 9th November? I was there and thought it was awesome! Third time I've seen them live and they're always great. I just loved it when they got that guy up on stage to play the guitar for 'Crawling'.
Loved every minute and didn't want it to end!
As mentioned below I went to the Birmingham gig but in the seating area my battery went on my camera, which the photos would probably have been too far away. If anyone has any clear photos of LP would they possibly send me one or two to my email address beverley-camp@*********** would be very grateful

We stayed in a standard double with en-suite, the room was really spacious and the bathroom nice and clean. Towels were provided which is always a bonus. The kitchen was always nice and clean and the communal areas had a nice atmosphere. The staff were knowledgeable and willing to help. There were a handful of nice restaurants a short walk away (hello sailor and opposite that a nice Mexican) I would recommend if you have your own transport or if you want to be away from the city centre.

A vandalized sign outside the office of Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., is shown Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009 in Smyrna, Ga. Scott had a contentious community meeting on health care last week. Scott, who is black, said the swastika is the latest example of what he believes is an increasingly hateful and racist debate over reforming health care. The Atlanta lawmaker said he also has received mail in recent days that used N-word references to him, and that characterized President Barack Obama as a Marxist.
The election of America's first black president, fears of a secret Mexican plot to take over the Southwest and a painful recession have combined to fuel a rise in violent right-wing militias, according to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The leading civil rights group is not the only one worried that the country could be on the verge of another domestic terror attack by a lone wolf hatemonger or radical militia member.
ATF agent Bart McEntire tells The Associated Press that militia growth is the highest its been in a decade, with the American Midwest, Pacific Northwest and Deep South, in particular, a tinderbox of right-wing hatred awaiting a spark.
Last year, the Department of Homeland Security was roundly criticized for warning white supremacists and militia members could try to recruit military veterans to their violent cause.

The Wounded Warrior Project serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness or wounds during their service during the past decade. Their mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors, while ultimately striving to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history.
"We are both honored and excited to host such an important group of passengers and their families," said Belle of Louisville CEO Linda Harris in the release. "Being able to give back to a group who has already given so much just seems like the right thing to do."

NEW YORK — Alabama will begin this season the way it ended the last two — No. 1.
Nick Saban's two-time defending national champions are top-ranked in The Associated Press preseason college football poll, with the Crimson Tide trying to become the first team to win three straight national titles.
Much like the BCS championship game against Notre Dame, the vote was an Alabama landslide. The Tide received 58 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel Saturday to easily outdistance No. 2 Ohio State. Alabama matched Florida in 2009 for the highest percentage of first-place votes received in the 63-year history of the preseason rankings.
The Buckeyes received one first-place vote.
Oregon is No. 3, followed by Stanford and Georgia, which received the other first-place vote.
Notre Dame, coming off a 42-14 loss in the BCS championship game to Alabama, is No. 14.
Alabama won its record ninth AP national championship last season, third BCS title in the last four years under Saban, and became the first team to win back-to-back BCS championships.
The Tide is AP preseason No. 1 for the fourth time, and first since 2010. Alabama was ranked No. 2 in the preseason poll each of the last two seasons. The only time has Alabama started and finished No. 1 was 1978, when Bear Bryant led the Crimson Tide to the fourth of its five national championships with him as coach.
Now Saban's Tide is trying to accomplish something Bear's boys never could. Twice Alabama won back-to-back championships under Bryant, but couldn't get the third.
Saban is hoping senior stars such as quarterback AJ McCarron, linebacker C.J. Mosley, defensive end Ed Stinson and guard Anthony Steen have enough memories of what went wrong for the 2010 Alabama team to avoid it happening in 2013.
"You're in a position here where we have a lot of players that really haven't lost much," Saban said earlier this week. "They have to really want to be good for the sake of being good.
Alabama is 49-5 over the past four seasons, with three of those losses coming in '10.
"Most other teams are out there saying we've got something to prove," Saban said. "Well, this team has something to prove. It's a lot more difficult not to be a little bit complacent, not to keep the same accountability to being successful that's necessary. You've got to challenge yourself every day. You've got to challenge each other."
Since the poll started in 1936, 10 times has a school has won consecutive AP championships.
The Tide's task: complete the hat trick.
Alabama will also be trying to run the Southeastern Conference's streak of national championships to eight. For the second straight year, half the top 10 teams to start the season are from the SEC. Joining Alabama and Georgia are South Carolina at No. 6, Texas A&M at No. 7 and Florida at No. 10.
The Tide and Aggies meet Sept. 14 in College Station, Texas. A&M and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel handed Alabama its only loss last year. Whether Manziel will be eligible for the rematch remains in question while the NCAA investigates the Aggies' quarterback. ESPN has reported Manziel is under investigation for being paid to sign autographs.
No. 8 Clemson and No. 9 Louisville, led by two other Heisman-contender quarterbacks, round out the top 10. Tajh Boyd and Clemson take on Georgia at home in Week 1 and are the favorites to win the Atlantic Coast Conference. Teddy Bridgewater and the Cardinals are the heavy favorites to get back to the BCS for the second straight year out of the newly renamed American Athletic Conference.
McCarron also makes most of the preseason Heisman contender lists. He passed for 2,933 yards and 30 touchdowns with only three interceptions last season. Now in his third season as a starter, McCarron is the face of the Tide.
"Last year there were other people on the offense that had a lot of leadership qualities about them. So it really wasn't quite as important for (McCarron) to always be that guy, even though his position lends itself to that," Saban said. "I think that's a role he can be very good at and it will be important for our team that he is good at it."
The second 10 in the preseason rankings starts with No. 11 Florida State. No. 12 LSU gives the SEC six teams in the rankings, more than any other conference. The Big Ten and Pac-12 both have five.
The Big 12 has four teams ranked, all between Nos. 13-20, starting with Oklahoma State. Texas is No. 15, Oklahoma is No. 16 and TCU is No. 20.
Michgan is No. 17 and Big Ten rival Nebraska is No. 18.
Boise State is No. 19, the only team from a BCS non-automatic qualifying conference to make the preseason rankings.
The final five are No. 21 UCLA from the Pac-12; No. 22 Northwestern and No. 23 Wisconsin from the Big Ten; last year's preseason No. 1 Southern California is No. 24; and Oregon State from the Pac-12 at No. 25.

It's Sunday morning in Atlanta and hope springs eternal. It's 58 degrees, but the crisp wind that rustles through the tall Georgia pines makes it feel closer to 50 than to 60.
The curiosity of the manager at the LaQuinta causes her to stop and chat, wondering why a man from Southern Indiana would be sitting by a waterless swimming pool so early in the morning. You can almost feel the city stretching its collective arms, ready to stir from its sleep and tackle the opportunities of the new day.
The city is splashed with color. Streaks of bright Cardinal red paint half the sky with vibrancy and enthusiasm. A golden maze sprinkled with strands of blue pepper the remainder of the horizon with an equal measure of expectancy.
The final weekend of the college basketball tournaments leaves two teams standing, buoyed by their throngs of supporters. What jubilance will tomorrow bring? How shall I celebrate the victory? How cocky will I walk today?
A text on my cell phone keeps pushing its way to my hand and heart. Four simple words, "Grandma is so proud," accompany a picture of an hours' old baby girl, appropriately named Savannah.
There is an incredible feeling welling inside that my daughter is now a mom and has her own children. Maybe she will avoid the pitfalls that caused me to stumble. I pray her path will be smooth, lightened by the breezes from the breath of a gracious God.
The sun creeps over the top of the clay roofing tiles; the light piercing the branches of the treetops. It is almost impossible not to realize the blessings that have been poured out, completely undeserved.
My family somehow has managed to graciously navigate through the unexpected twists and turns of life to find comfort and love at each other's side. My job allows me to walk alongside genuinely nice people, occasionally encouraging them, occasionally providing strength. And when all these reflections and dreams and hopes stir words in my soul, I have an opportunity to take quill and parchment in hand.
Hope isn't blind or naïve. Championships are not won without days, months and years of disciplined practice and sacrifice. Jobs are not worked without challenges and frustrations. Mountains are not climbed without pain, deserts are not crossed without parched lips, children are not raised without sleepless nights, frayed nerves or prayer-scarred knees.
Hope feels the ache, but believes that as surely as Atlanta will see the morning sun, God will bring comfort and salve for the wounds.
I cannot help but think that is exactly what the Bible means when it talks about a "living hope." Listen to how the Message translates Peter's words.
"What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven — and the future starts now!"
Whatever my circumstance, I have a God who specializes in healing, not sickness; in life, not death; in hope, not despair.
Hope lives. Today I will cut down the nets, hang the banner or present the trophy. I will take the mound and pitch the shutout, make the game-saving catch or pause to see the flight of the walk-off home run.
I will comfort the cries of a baby, watch a toddler crawl or smile as the 6-year-old scampers off for her first day at school. I will be faithful to my beliefs and my family whether there are 75,000 sets of eyes upon me, or simply Savannah's.
Or perhaps I will be stirred with renewed vigor to be more like the God who holds all of this in the palm of His hand.

It's hard to imagine a better hockey weekend anywhere in the United States than what Johnstown just witnessed.
The Johnstown Tomahawks put on a first-rate show, on and off the ice, during a three-day blitz that included a special screening of the iconic hockey movie "Slap Shot," an appearance by screen legends the Hanson brothers and a chance to see the Stanley Cup in person. Oh, and a pair of Pittsburgh Penguins – Matt Cooke and Chris Kunitz – also stopped by Cambria County War Memorial Arena as the Tomahawks played host to the James-town Ironmen, who lead the North American Hockey League's North Division.
With the National Hockey League locked out, more than 7,000 puck fans swarmed the War Memorial this weekend.
Not bad for what some people derisively labeled "high school hockey" when the franchise's move to Johnstown was first announced, huh?
Midway through its first season in Johnstown, the Tomahawks have proven that their brand of Junior A Tier II hockey is much more than that.
And, we're happy to say, it looks like the people in our region have taken notice.
Through 14 home games, the Tomahawks rank fifth in the 28-team league with an average attendance of 2,217 fans. The franchises that rank ahead of the Tomahawks in attendance are based in cities that dwarf Johnstown in size.
Consider: Fresno, Calif., has a population of 501,362, according to the 2010 Census. That's 24 times Johnstown's population, which is listed at 20,814. Corpus Christi, Texas, is almost 15 times the size of the Flood City while Odessa, Texas, is five times as big as our city. Even Wenatchee, Wash., has 1.5 times the population of Johnstown.
Meanwhile, the Tomahawks rank ahead of teams in much larger markets like Amarillo, Texas; Topeka, Kan., and Flint, Mich.
Much of the Tomahawks' popularity has to do with how well the organization – led by team President Rick Bouchard and General Manager Rick Boyd – has done at marketing the team.
From the home opener – when hockey legend Mario Lemieux dropped the first puck – to this past weekend's festivities, the Tomahawks have given fans plenty of reasons to come to the arena.
"We promised Johnstown a show when we bought the team," Bouchard told The Tribune-Democrat's Mike Mastovich.
But it's not just about bringing big names to our area. The on-ice play – the Tomahawks had won eight of nine prior to Saturday night's loss – has certainly helped attract fans. So, too, has the team's committent to being involved in the community.
"We want to grow hockey in the community," Bouchard said.
That was evident on Saturday night. Moments after a tough 1-0 loss to Jamestown, the Tomahawks players and coaches bolted from the ice, but they didn't head for the locker room. Instead, they went to the lobby of the War Memorial, where they thanked departing fans for attending, posed for pictures with young fans and handed out promotional items.
Through half a season, the Tomahawks have been a hit in the standings, at the box office and in the community.
That's great news for the team, for the local businesses that benefit from sellout crowds and for everyone in the region.

Using Dukkha as a Guide
This talk explores the term "dukkha" (suffering), and the different ways it is used in the Buddha's teachings. The main way that "dukkha" is used is in context of the Four Noble Truths, and in that context, we begin to understand that dukkha is created by processes at work in our own minds. Seeing that, we realize that when we meet suffering, we are simply meeting our own minds, and that dukkha has something to teach us. As we understand dukkha with mindfulness and wisdom, that understanding helps to release us from dukkha and its cause.

From the winery and vineyards in Carneros, and featuring hand-selected fruit from across the region, Ca' Momi wines represent the best of both worlds: Napa Valley fruit carefully crafted by the heritage and obsessive care of Old World winemaking into some of the finest wines available. From award-winning House blends to an opulent Reserve line, Ca' Momi makes wine that elevates the best grapes Napa Valley has to offer. Our heartcrafted Napa Valley and California wines are made to be enjoyed - in times of celebration, but also in all of those moments in between.

text: Another good excuse to come to the Sevillian capital are the festivals. The celebrations of Easter Week and Feria de Abril (the April Fair), which have been declared of National Tourist Interest, reflect the devotion and folklore of the people of Seville, always open and friendly to visitors. But Seville's appeal does not end there, as the city is also the starting point for the many cultural routes the province offers, such as the Roman Bética Route or the Washington Irving route. The visitor will also discover the immense natural wealth of this region, which sits halfway between two continents, in natural treasures such as the Doñana Nature Reserve, declared a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, and the Sierra Norte Nature Reserve. They will be the ideal setting for practising outdoor sports, including hiking, horse riding, and cycling routes. If, on the other hand, golf is your sport of choice, then you will be glad to know that Seville has four excellent golf courses in its vicinity.
