15970 City Walk Street, Sugarland, TX | Directions 7747929.619680 -95.634946
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 2am
Bikers beware! My husband and I rode all the way from Cypress to meet up with a group of friends only to be turned away at the door because he was wearing a bandana and I was wearing a "Save the TaTa's" headband. We were dressed in jeans and nice shirts (expensive Harley shirts) and yet that wasn't good enough for them...looking around I saw plenty of people in shorts, tshirts and flip flops but apparently choosing to protect our heads while riding is unacceptable to them......we left there and went down the road to Salt Grass Steak House.....yes, a steak house gladly let us in and took our money without discriminating against us because we ride motorcycles.
sukiest bar in sugarland – if you smoke love it bring your small pet all good. I have not went in awhile but service still sucks and food sucks the skinny white dude walking around thinks he is manager an a$$hole. this is one of the worse bars in Sugarland it is all hype most people go once and never go back. I tried a third time not a charm. Try Flying Saucer
WHOS THAT WAITRESS? – the best experience we've had with a server! Tall white lady named Andrea. She was very happy and very attentative, she always seemed to be around and even seemed to anticipate what we wanted. our group had good laughs with her, and stayed longer due to her service! good job baker st! she made us not mind the smoke. cheers
Terrible management and service – I had been going to this bar since they opened their doors and I am sure I spent tons of money on food and drinks. One day I decided I did not have to put up with terrible and rude service including management. I asked one of the waitresses how they can get away with awful service and the response was quick, they are one of the few bars still allowing smoking inside so they have a captive customer base and they don't have to be nice and treat customers right...so what she said makes sense to me
Bakers street pub – Went to Baker's Been there for about 3 years off and on. Some girl said I "touched" her which was NOT true. The police escorted me out the door without any questions. This place is horrible for continuuing to want people to frequent their place. I was 100% innocent and it is all about who they want hanging out in their bar. The security staff are very unprofessional; not the waitresses. I guess they just want to be important. I am a professional in the medical field (RN) and would NEVER treat a patient or their family the way I was treated.. Guess that comes with education with apparenlty they don't have! If you go there, Have a great time; but just remember, the stafff are uneducated people trying to feel "secure".
Management with an attitude – I am a frequent patron of Baker Street Sugar Land until last night. I stopped in to meet some friends and have a drink. As I was standing at the bar I was rudely pushed by a drunk who wanted to start a fight. The bouncers asked me to put my drink down and leave. I was escorted outside as if I was a trouble maker. I asked to speak to the manager and tried to identify myself as a professional with the U.S. government, by showing him my ID badge and he said he didn't care who I was or who I worked for. I asked him for his name and he refused to give it to me and told me I needed to "get the hell out of there". This is not the place to go and relax. Why get pushed by drunks without management having your back? Definitely not a safe place to be.
Great place for Some!* – Trying to give you an idea of what its like in there so here it goes:
You walk up to the bar and there is an English style phone booth and a big bouncer at the door checking id's cause its past 9 pm. You look around and see its smokey cause its one of the ONLY places you can smoke in town. Sometimes there are cute girls in there but not usually.
The bar is shaped in a big square and by about 25 feet all the way around and totally open. During the daytime you see business guys in there reading a paper and getting lunch and cute girls from the offices picking up food for their office cause the food is reasonably priced and very tasty!
At Night you cant really have much depth conversations with people because the music is pretty loud rock music. This brings in same business guys as before and women looking to meet them or to just hang out with the girls. yes goofy guys still walk around trying to pick them up so if your bringing a date hang out with her :).
Stereo Type person at Bakers Street:
White/Asian males 25-55 usually good jobs or owners.
White/Asian females 25-55 usually good jobs or owners too.
I have spoken to many different people over my 2 years of coming to this place. The staff is cool and usually same people although i am usually at the bar.
Careful there is one crazy waitress who stares at you though and if you look back at her she asks you what you are looking at. I was like wtf.. but other then that its cool.
I have been a patron at this bar for years. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars at this bar. Last night I got attacked by a drunk women, she threw me down, hit my head on the table. All because I asked her to keep her bare feet off my chair. Well I instead of fighting back I went and got bouncers. They came in, grabbed my husband who was standing there doing nothing tore his shirt and dragged him out while the couple that assaulted me stood there and watched. We then go outside and a gentleman comes up to us and the bouncers and says I am a witness that these people did nothing and that the women assaulted me. The bouncers take the witness inside and tell us that we have to leave. I thought I could count on these bouncers, but they completely shattered any good things that I once thought of Bakers Street Pub and Grill in Sugarland, TX. The management was absolutely rude to us and I am the one with a bruise on my face today and my husband is the one in shock today as to what happened at Bakers Street Sugarland last night. I regret all the money, friends, and family that I brought to this bar and gave money to. The bouncers should be fired, the management should be replaced. Be careful next time you go, because if someone gets drunk and attacks you, the bar will not have your back.
Not a good place to eat – Baker's St. shows up in the GREEK restaurant filter.....THIS IS NOT GREEK, it's about as Greek as your local Chili's.
Food is terrible, hot food is served cold and cold food is served hot. The only safe bet here is a sandwich...it doesn't matter if it's hot or cold!! Appetizers are dreadful. On the other hand it's a good PUB and has some good beers on draft.
Calling this place a restaurant is like calling McDonald's fine dining.
Worst waitstaff and manager – After a family wedding, we decided to keep the party going at BSP in Sugar Land since we were staying at the Marriott nearby. After our waitress finally noticed that we were sitting there, she came by and said "what do you guys want? oh I see you have drinks... (well we had to go to the bar after 15 mins of waiting for her) and said she'd "be back"... we started to complain that it took her forever to finally come by and when she did, she left... so she came back to our table immediately and said "are you guys talking sh&t about me?". Seriously, that's how she addressed us... we were so pissed at that point and we said "yeah, you were rude. " And she continued to cuss us out and decided she wasn't going to wait on us- SO, we decided to escalate the situation, we were celebrating a life changing event at this place for goodness sake! Do you think the manager apologized for his foul-mouthed wait staff? F&ck no!! (hehe!) He then continued to say that we could leave if we didn't like it there and that he couldn't do anything about her. THANK GOD a decent human being came by to check on us and we were able to somewhat salvage the last 30 minutes in that place with a few cold ones and an appetizer (which we were charged for 2 instead of 1).... I would recommend that that last nice waitress find a nicer place to work where she would fit in much better. I will never return to this place AGAIN!!

These boots are stinkers
By Bren
from San Francisco, ca
About Me Intermediate
Comments about DC Gizmo Snowboard Boots 2013:
Firstly I really like the idea behind these boots, being part lace up and part boa, it was working great for tightening up over the top of my foot and providing the stiffness I was looking forThat said, I bought a pair of these last season. After one day on the slopes the boa refused to completely release. I almost broke my ankle trying to get the boot off. The next day I took it to the board shop on the mountain and they couldn't do anything with it and I ended up renting a lace up pair of boots. I took my chances on a second pair after returning the first and found that the boa wouldn't tighten completely. I would not risk a weekend trip on a pair of these.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Dc gizmo 12/13 boa lace system is terrib
By Kdog
from Georgetown co
About Me Professional
Boa was terrible on these, seized up on day 5, pulled my foot really really hard to get out of the boot after it would not release and the boot ripped a giant hole and bruised my foot bad. Now dc is giving me a run around to warranty them. These boots are junk

Great bang for your buck
By Josh
from Farmington, Maine
About Me Expert
I am a ski and Snowboard instructor at Saddleback Maine. I am on the snow at least 4 days a week. That being said my gear takes a beating. This boot has held up great since I purchased it half way through the season. It's really comfy, looks great, and the adjustability of it is amazing. The traditional lacing on the upper part of the boot is great. You can ride as loose as you want or as stiff which I love. My only complaint would be that the cushioning that the footbed provides could be better. If you are going to be hitting bigger jumps and taking some deep landings I would replace them with a better footbed.

Puppies in Need: 7 Reasons to Adopt a Shelter Dog
October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog month. In 1998, I adopted a black lab, Molly, from a local shelter, and found a new best friend. If you choose to adopt a shelter dog, there are a few things to keep in mind. You want to be well prepared for your new pet before you bring him or her home. Have supplies, food, veterinary care, and obedience classes already purchased or planned. Moving is also stressful for you and the dog. For great tips on preparing to adopt and dealing with the first 30 days, see this great set of Pet Adoption Tips from Petfinder. Speaking of Petfinder, it also is a great place to look for pets to adopt. Use their Animal Rescues and Shelter page to find a location near you and see the pets that are available there.

There is a unique element surrounding outdoor sporting endeavors that seems to trigger the competitive juices in all of us. Whether the contest involves a frog jumping competition for children, a popular Big Buck Contest at the local tavern or a professional Bass Master Classic conducted on Lake Champlain, outdoor travelers always seem to enjoy sharing their accomplishments with others.
Years ago, while visiting the Four Corners region of Northern Arizona, I traveled to Canyon de Chelly to view cliff dwellings that once were the home of indigenous peoples.
Etched into the sandstone of the canyon walls were charcoal renderings of deer, bison, geese and turkeys. It was obvious some houses had a much larger collection of animals and birds. Our guide explained the symbols provided an accounting of the hunting accomplishments of the occupants. At a glance, visitors could easily determine who the best hunters were. The charcoal renderings were a billboard of their achievements.
In a similar manner, modern hunters and anglers continue to pursue this ancient tradition, whether by harvesting a Boone and Crockett Club record buck, or establishing a new New York State record fish. Many local sportsman clubs have their own particular, and peculiar standards for the hunting or fishing accomplishments of their members. Honors may include an actual trophy or a new firearm, while those who missed a chance to harvest a potential trophy may suffer the loss of a shirttail to be nailed on the camp's "wall of shame."
Participants on the Professional Bass Circuit may suffer a fate far greater than simple humiliation from their peers when they fail to produce a trophy catch. They are likely to lose sponsors, and sponsorship money. Professional anglers realize if they can't put out, they'll likely have to get out.
However, when competition is just between friends, or family, it can often be just as bitter and hard-nosed. To illustrate this point, I often tell the tale about a tail that finally sealed the deal between a long fought over, family fishing competition which always seemed to spark an annual battle.

Energy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponEnergy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponDecide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal
Whether part of a planned program or eaten on the fly, bars bridge the hunger gap and boost your energy. When you're working on your waistline, today's bars can support your weight-loss efforts, especially when fresh food and refrigeration aren't in easy reach. And when you're in a rush, munching on an energy bar is one of the best stop-gap measures for those sudden "I'm ravenous" moments. Downing a healthy bar can even prevent a "roadside attraction" binge of fries, shakes, or convenience-store goodies like high-calorie, high-fat chips and cookies. In other words, energy bars can be a helpful tool in your diet plan.
Put your hunger behind bars
First, you need to decide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal. "If it's a snack, the bars should have less than 180 calories," advises Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, the national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Chicago. "If it's a meal, the bar should be more than 200 calories and needs to be eaten with fruit and vegetables to satisfy you for four or more hours till you eat again."
In fact, substituting an energy bar-paired with an apple or veggie salad-for one meal each day can help you lose weight. "By adding fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water, you'll feel more full," says Blatner. "This can help accelerate weight loss." If your goal is to drop a few pounds, Blatner says you need to read the nutrient label to make sure your meal-replacing bar contains:
- at least 200 calories
- 3 grams or less saturated fat
- 3 grams or more fiber (to help you feel full)
- at least 10 grams of protein (to help tide you over till your next meal)
Indulge in your favorite flavors
As a general rule, look for bars with the least sugar and the most fiber (in other words, "good carbs") or protein (whatever your preference) to avoid the crash that comes from eating bars that are more like candy disguised in "natural" packaging.
"After you've read the label, it all boils down to personal preference," says Blatner. Love dried berries? Go for a fruity bar. Granola, nut, or yogurt fan? Store shelves are stocked with bars for every discriminating taste. You can take your pick from grain- or yogurt-based, to nut- or fruit-dense bars.
Simply scan the ingredient list for the foods or flavors you fancy and cross-check it with the label's nutrition facts to ensure it fits with your diet goals.
Pick the best bar for the job
As the seemingly endless choices will attest, you can find a bar to fit your evolving healthy lifestyle needs. Lifting weights? Try a high-protein bar favored by weight-trainers to help repair muscle. Love jogging, hiking, and biking? Look for high-carb bars preferred by the distance runners who crave instant energy.
If you're interested in eating fewer preservatives and getting the maximum nutrients from the foods you eat, you might like a raw energy bar. The tastes may vary widely but they are typically packed with robust ingredients such as nuts, nectar, berries, and ginger.Enjoy!Nancy Gottesman, a nutrition writer and mother in southern California, admits to needing way more energy than these bars can provide!

Though I think it doesn't taste anything like "Cookies and Cream," it still tastes pretty good. I consumed this when I was rather groggy and I felt more alert in a relatively quick time period. It's got decent nutritional values, including a relatively low saturated fat amount compared to other bars. The only main concern is the amount of sugar. Great value, will definitely buy again.

I don't know anything about the whole "which bar is better / more effective" side of things, all I know is that my VERY fussy eight year old will eat them and they are good for her :-) Also, because they are vegetarian protein, her Indian friends can eat them as well. And when the second box is half off and with the gold card, the cost is quite reasonable.

These bars are usually not found in GNC stores, so I get them online and for reasonable amount.
They do not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup, like many rival bars and they hold up in the hottest of climates, with very little melting, and no messiness.

Li-Young Lee is a nationally acclaimed poet and scholar. He visited CLC on Monday, Sept. 24, and read from his collection. He grew up with the feeling that he was the enemy in the various foreign countries where he lived, which seeped into his psyche and his writing. He told us about the four selves: We have our public self, the one we show to anyone, even strangers. We have our private self, who we are with friends and family, where we feel a little safer. We have our inner self, the one we know and keep only to ourselves. Then, we have the hidden self, the part of us that is unknown even to ourselves. There are parts of us that we haven't discovered yet. They might not be revealed to us for a long time. We might find ourselves surprised to discover something. And, I believe, someone on the outside might be that person who sheds light on that hidden self.
Mr. Lee says that the best art, particularly poetry, has elements of all four selves. That's when it is the truest, when it connects, when it becomes "the yoga that deepens our understanding of our true self, our intuition." He spoke for just an hour and read two poems, Undressing, and Virtues of the Boring Husband, and I felt like I learned so much and was inspired. Both poems are very personal, have to do with his relationship with his wife, their intimacy and responses to each other. His poetry is sensual and meaningful, filled with vivid images and mind wanderings.

H. W. Fowler's "Dictionary of Modern English Usage" is one of the fruits of the Oxford English Dictionary. The O.E.D. was (like many Victorian novels) published in parts: it was a serial publication whose serialization took fifty-four years. In 1879, its editor, James Murray, signed a contract with Oxford University Press, in which he promised to produce a four-volume dictionary within a decade. Five years later, he managed to publish the first part: "A—Ant." The dictionary was finished in 1933. (Murray expired in 1915, after reaching "Trink—Turndown," which, if it is not the end of the alphabet, is at least farther than Virginia Woolf's Mr. Ramsay was able to get.) It fills thirteen volumes: almost sixteen thousand pages.
Murray's method was to collect, for each word, specimen sentences from printed works illustrating changes in meaning and usage over time. For many years, Murray stored the slips on which these sentences were recorded in his yard in an iron shed known as the Scriptorium. If it had appeared in a Borges story, the Scriptorium would have figured as a kind of alternate literary universe, in which all the sentences ever written in English have been rescrambled, and transformed into a series of free-verse poems on words—all the sentences with "muffin," for instance, strung together to make a found-object ode to "muffin."
The dimensions of the actual Scriptorium were not so Borgesian, of course, but it was a fantastic resource. It was as though Murray had drilled a shaft into the history of the language, which one might descend and ascend, observing the linguistic striations. The Delegates of the Oxford University Press soon recognized that although the O.E.D. was a publishing triumph ("the greatest effort probably which any University, it may be any printing press, has taken in hand since the invention of printing," the Times declared in 1897, after the completion of "Foisty— Frankish"), not many people were likely to rush out and buy a sixteen-thousand-page dictionary. So they planned a series of affordable spinoffs, among them the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (assigned to a man named Little, which shows that the Delegates were not without a sense of humor), the Concise Oxford Dictionary (shorter than the Shorter), and the Pocket Oxford Dictionary (more concise than the Concise). These were all quarried from the big dictionary: they drew on the specimen sentences in the published parts and, in the case of words later in the alphabet, in the warehouse of slips. The press had a dictionary in the works for every market niche. This is where Henry Fowler entered the picture.
Fowler was born in 1858, in Devon. He attended Rugby and Oxford, but his family was not well-off: his father was a schoolteacher, who died at the age of fifty-six, leaving eight children. Henry was the oldest. After Oxford, he became a teacher at a school in Yorkshire called Sedbergh. He seems not to have been a prime object of schoolboy affection: "He took some knowing" was a typical reminiscence. He had a reputation for rectitude, and after seventeen years at Sedbergh he resigned abruptly, because he had come to the conclusion that his lack of religious faith meant that he would never be promoted to housemaster. He was forty-one. He went to London, where he lived on a minuscule inheritance and the income from his writing, mostly essays of a belletristic nature, which he published with some difficulty. Diminished circumstances had no effect on his sense of what was honorable: after The Spectator sent him a check for a piece it had accepted but was unable to run because of lack of space, he refused to write for the magazine again.
He eventually realized that he was too reserved to get far in a literary world that required some talent for social gamesmanship, and in 1903 he moved to the island of Guernsey, a hundred miles off the south coast of England, where his brother Frank had gone into business as a tomato farmer. Fowler lived on Guernsey for twenty-two years. He and Frank became collaborators, first on a translation of Lucian, which Oxford published, and then on "The King's English" (1906), a guide for writers. This led to their employment in the O.E.D. spinoff industry: they were responsible for both the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1911) and the Pocket Oxford Dictionary (which was published in 1924, after Frank's death). It was on Guernsey that Fowler wrote the "Dictionary of Modern English Usage." It came out in 1926, when he was sixty-eight. He died in 1933, the year the O.E.D. was finally finished.
Upright people do not make ideal biographical subjects. To say that Jenny McMorris's "The Warden of English: A Life of H. W. Fowler" (Oxford; $27.50) is the biography Fowler deserves is neither to take anything away from Jenny McMorris nor to say that it is a particularly compelling biography. Fowler was a person who began every day, no matter what the weather, by rising early, running for a few miles, and then taking a dip in the nearest body of water. This, along with gardening, seems to have marked the upper limit of his conception of "fun." He lived alone until he was fifty, when he married a local nurse, almost his age, named Jessie Wills, a voluble woman, part of whose appeal was that she relieved her husband, in social situations, of having to talk.
In 1914, when he was fifty-six, Fowler falsified his age in order to enlist in the British Army. (Frank enlisted as well; he was forty-four.) He went to France, but although he had joined a battalion reserved for older men, when his real age was discovered he was taken off the front lines, and eventually, to his shame and disgust, he broke down physically and had to be sent home. In all his work for Oxford University Press, he insisted on a flat fee, and protested mildly when the press mailed him Christmas "bonuses" in lieu of royalties, which he had declined to accept. (One feels that the press, for its part, did not exactly insist. All of that generation of lexicographers, in their low-tech world, were overworked people. Murray wasn't the only one to die in harness: so did poor Mr. Little, and so did Frank Fowler. It would be interesting to know how much money Oxford has made on the dictionaries they produced; but McMorris doesn't tell us.) In short, Fowler was a modest, disciplined, and punctilious English gentleman. "He knew what he wanted from life," wrote the man who produced the second edition of "Modern English Usage," Ernest Gowers. "What he wanted was within reach; he took it and was content."

Sailing Alone Around the World
Of all the great travel narratives the most epic are set at sea—tossed in the waves, lost in fog, pounded by storms. They traverse a world populated by leviathans and ghost ships and bizarre natural forces, the landscape itself so moving and alive it becomes a character in the book.
Melville comes to mind with his descriptions of great tempests and great men, the "sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seems to speak of some hidden soul beneath…" Joseph Conrad, Ernest Hemingway, Jonathan Raban and Nathaniel Philbrick were all taken by its spell and wrote about it in their books. They were all mariners, as was Joshua Slocum, maybe one of the greatest maritime authors—and for some reason the least known—who became the first man to circumnavigate the world solo in 1898.
Sailing Alone Around the World recounts Slocum's three-year, 46,000-mile journey. (Read it free at Google Books here.) It is candid and lyrical, self-deprecating to a charming, often hilarious, extent. It was written by an aspiring author and lifelong sea captain who was once marooned in Brazil—and spent six months with his wife and two sons building a "half Cape Ann dory and half Japanese [sic] sampan" to sail home on. (Voyage of the Liberdade recounts the adventure, also free here.) Slocum climbed the rigging of his thirty-six-foot sloop, Spray, once when a rogue wave submerged the boat, outran pirates with a broken boom, warded off Fuegean natives by placing tacks—points up—on the deck and once sailed the Spray 2,000 miles across the Pacific without touching helm.
After his book came out, Slocum's life became the subject of academics who thrive at taking apart anyone or anything that claimed to have set a record. A book out last fall by Geoffrey Wolff, The Hard Way Around (Knopf, 2010) avoids the muckraking and simply tells the story of the man many have called the greatest mariner of modern times. Wolff writes about Slocum's decision to attempt the feat—near the end of the Age Sail when steamers and steel hulls were pushing schooners aside, and sailor's work was hard to come by—the love of his life, Virginia Walker, who bore him four sons at foreign ports and on the sea; his rise through the ranks of the shipping business and lastly, his mysterious disappearance at sea in 1908.
Slocum told his story throughout his journey, in dispatches and presentations around the world. Yet there wasn't much fanfare when he returned to Newport, Rhode Island, on June 27, 1898. In fact, it wasn't until he published his account of the journey a year later that Slocum's was cast into the limelight. So when Reid Stowe broke the world record for the longest sea voyage in history last June—1,152 days without resupply; he saw land only once; lived for three years off food he packed; was at sea longer than the Essex on its ill-fated journey or Magellan and Shackleton combined—he found solace in Slocum's trials and eventual success.
Stowe set out from the 12th St. Pier in Hoboken, New Jersey on April 21, 2007 on the 70-foot schooner, Anne, that he built with friends. His partner, Soanya Ahmad, joined him for the first 306 days until they discovered she was pregnant and she had go ashore—having setting the record for the longest continuous sea voyage for a woman. The story was covered on Reid's blog, http://1000days.net, and in brief updates in major news outlets. But after reports of his return—and his reunion with Soanya and their, then, two-year old son Darshen—he was quickly forgotten, and his story forgotten too.
Since then, 30 publishers have turned down the story of the longest voyage ever recorded at sea. Stowe has a best-selling ghostwriter working with him, and a top New York agent. Throughout his trip he was stalked by internet hacks who sent hate mail and criticized his spirituality and—admittedly—New Agey posts on his web site. It's possible this factored into the publisher's hesitation, as is the fact that they simply thought the story of a man sitting on his boat for three years wouldn't sell.
I sat down with Reid and Soanya recently to talk with them about the difference between an adventure and an adventure story, the trials of the publishing world and the real reason he committed three years of his life to live on the sea in the first place. We met in the salon onboard the Anne, docked near 44th Avenue in Queens. The New York skyline reflected off the East River behind the boat. Reid and Soanya were preparing to leave the following day—they'd been asked to vacate the dock to make room for commercial traffic and were sailing to the abandoned New Jersey dock they started their trip from in 2008.
Why did you take this trip? For the story, the voyage or something else?
RS: Because I love going to sea so much, and I always did. I never really cared about where I went. It was more about going on the boat and being at sea…It was really about what the sea did to me in a spiritual way, how it opened my mind and how it thrilled me with what it made me see.
Year after year as I sailed, I kept doing longer and longer voyages, and I never needed to stop. And I said this is what I like, why should I stop? By the time I was planning to go to Antarctica and I was down in New Zealand, I said what can I do next? And I said, well, I'll just keep sailing at sea longer than anyone ever has.
SA: I learned about the project when I was still in school, and when I finished the degree that I was still studying, which was photography, I was thinking, where do I go next? I wanted to be on the water, but I wasn't exactly sure where my niche was. I pursued another degree where I was looking at the possibilities of working on the waterfront in New York City and none of them seemed to fit me quite right. Then I met Reid and he was going to sea for this long period of time and that appealed to me more than any of the other mundane working waterfront kind of careers. Since I was at a crossroads in my life, I thought, this was something that I could really do, and that would be interesting, and I knew I would learn a lot from.

Heidi's Story - Parker Adventist Hospital - Neurosurgery
In 2009, Heidi got the best birthday present ever. More birthdays.
It was just another day,except Heidi woke up with a headache. But there was plenty to do; two small children, a full-time job and volunteer work had her hopping. Until the headache didn't go away. When she became nauseous and dizzy, her husband called 911. At Parker Adventist Hospital, an MRI revealed a brain aneurysm caused by a rare, but treatable form of cancer. That's when neurosurgeon, Dr. Sean Markey and his surgical team stepped in, performing a highly specialized, life-saving procedure. Today Heidi takes nothing for granted - especially birthdays. That's why Parker Adventist Hospital is here.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — It is difficult to imagine that the Plaistow couple who spent two weeks on the run from child abuse charges did so without help.
Police and prosecutors are looking into whether anyone may have helped Roland Dow, 27, and his live-in girlfriend Jessica Linscott, 23, elude police and flee to Florida. If they find that the pair did indeed have help, those who aided them should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
"Depending on where the evidence takes us, there could be some additional people charged," Rockingham County Attorney James Reams told our reporters. "If anybody did assist them, we are going to look very hard at filing charges."
The crimes of which Dow and Linscott are accused are particularly heinous and heartless.
Earlier this month, Exeter Hospital contacted police, saying a couple had dropped off a little boy with serious head injuries, massive bruises and burns. The couple told doctors the injuries were self-inflicted, but doctors concluded that was not true, police said. The 3-year-old boy is Linscott's child by a previous relationship.
Reams said last week that Dow will be charged with first- and second-degree assault for allegedly burning the little boy's wrist and fingers, and striking him in the head, causing a serious brain injury and seizures. Each of the two charges is punishable by 10 to 30 years in state prison, Reams said.
Dow also will be charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child for failing to seek medical care for the child. Linscott faces six child endangerment charges for failing to protect her son, who is in state custody and recovering from his injuries. Each of those charges is punishable by up to a year in jail.
Plaistow police had expected the couple to turn themselves in after they were identified as having dropped off the child. Instead, they went on the run and the resulting manhunt led to reports of possible sightings across the Merrimack Valley and the North Shore.
It turns out that Dow and Linscott had headed south. Published reports have them making stops in New York and Atlantic City before heading to Orlando, Fla.
The couple was arrested by U.S. Marshals at the Universal Studios theme park. They had just finished watching a parade.
The circumstances of their capture stunned many. It would have been one thing for Dow and Linscott to have been captured cowering in the home of a friend or family member. But no. They went to a theme park and, in effect, were having the time of their lives on vacation while Linscott's son fought in a New Hampshire hospital to recover from the abuse they allegedly inflicted on him.
Depravity has just found a new base level.
There is a strong suspicion that Dow and Linscott did not have the money or other means to take off on such a jaunt on their own. Helping fugitives from justice elude capture is a crime. In this case, the crime was particularly heinous. Anyone found to have helped Dow and Linscott make their run to Florida should face criminal charges.
Dow and Linscott will have to answer for what they are accused of doing to a helpless child. Those who may have helped this couple avoid justice — at least for a time — must answer as well.

Last week's column – "Will WBEZ tune back in to jazz?" – sparked passionate response from readers. Following are edited highlights:
Bring back jazz
I stood up and cheered at my breakfast table while reading your column today. You captured every bit of my sentiments about the loss of real jazz programming on WBEZ for the last seven years. When those changes were implemented, I wrote to (WBEZ president) Torey Malatia, expressing much the same concerns that you've outlined. In return, I received a letter proclaiming how much better the new approach would be, as we would all see. Ha! I immediately stopped contributing to WBEZ and transferred my annual donation to WDCB, which, luckily, I can receive pretty well in the northwest suburbs. Thank you for expressing my hope, voiced to friends, when Malatia's departure was announced, that there will be a return to the excellent jazz programming that used to be a big part of WBEZ's claim to fame. I hope that the powers that be will take your advice to heart.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
-- Linda Korbel, Palatine
Calling for folk
I read your article this morning – to my mind, the real "four-letter word" at WBEZ is "folk." Other cities' public radio stations have a plethora of folk/acoustic music programming, and WBEZ has none. For that, I have to listen to WDCB (if I can get it) and once-a-week "The Midnight Special" on WFMT.
I always thought public radio was a place where programming decisions could be made not because the programs were profitable, but because there was no place else on the dial to hear them. Yes, Chicago is a jazz town, but there is a long and honorable history of acoustic singer/songwriters, and quite a lot of great folk music around here. We hear none of that on WBEZ.
-- Anita Silvert, Northbrook
Re-broadcast Dick Buckley
Thank you for your great article about how WBEZ failed its jazz listeners. I was a huge fan of Dick Buckley's broadcasts, and so too were my 7-year-old triplet kids. Every weekend in the car we'd listen to the wonderful stories and records Buckley would spin. I would love it if WBEZ played Buckley's old programs. They were truly timeless.
-- Matthew Lynch, Chicago
A jazz companion
Your article (on) the loss of jazz on WBEZ was so appreciated. It is the sentiment that we, the listeners, have had resonating in our subconscious for years! How really shameful to have lost such a dynamic programming icon, especially in the Chicagoland area.
After very long days spent with my dad during his chemo treatments, I would always tune in to the WBEZ nighttime jazz program as my companion for the long hour-ride home. As a youngster, dad always had Dick Buckley and his deep, soothing voice introducing or relating a story of some sort, tuned in. How I miss that program. Hopefully, someone with programming savvy will heed your wise words of advice.
-- Susan Wunder, Orland Park
A broadcasting bore
(Torey) Malatia swept away several lovely Sunday evening shows: "The Thistle & Shamrock," Stuart Rosenberg's shows, "Earth Club" and "Radio Gumbo" – shows which were beautifully eclectic and educational as well. Gone also was "The Folk Sampler," showcasing folk, bluegrass and blues. I wept at losing Marian McPartland and, finally, the greatest jazz educator ever, Dick Buckley. I thought that Dick Buckley died of a broken heart.
Variety is the spice of life and Malatia turned WBEZ into a one-ingredient bore. Let's hope that his successor has some vision.
-- Mary Ann Sumner, Miller Beach, IN

Nevada remains among the most popular destinations for relocating Americans, and northern Nevada is getting its share, says United Van Lines.
The household mover based in St. Louis said last week that Nevada ranked third in its annual study of inbound and outbound moves.
About 58 percent of United Van Lines' business in the state came from inbound residents as opposed to those who are moving away.

Federal Pell Grant: The Federal Pell Grant is a federal aid program designed to provide financial aid to undergraduate students. Pell Grants are intended to be the "base" of a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet the cost of attendance. The amount of the grant is determined on the basis of student and the family resources. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program (FSEOG): Federal SEOG grants are designed to assist undergraduate students who demonstrate an exceptional financial need and qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. Award amounts are based on the amount of need and availability of funds. Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG): The Florida Student Assistance Grant Program was established to provide awards to qualified undergraduate students who are Florida residents attending accredited colleges, universities, and community/junior colleges in Florida and demonstrate a need by qualifying for a Federal Pell Grant. Students must also demonstrate exceptional financial need and be enrolled full-time (12 credit hours or more) at UNF. Limited funding is available to eligible applicants enrolled in 6 to 11 credit hours. Students may apply by submitting an error-free Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by our priority deadline of March 1.
UNF Institutional Grants: The University of North Florida offers a variety of grants for undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need. Awards range from $300 to $1500 per academic semester.
William D. Ford Direct Loan Program: Federal Direct Loans are awards that must be repaid. UNF encourages students to make informed decisions when opting to borrow under ANY student loan program. Federal Direct Loans are administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Direct Subsidized loans are need-based loans. Direct Unsubsidized loans are non- need-based loans.
Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan Program: Non-credit based, Direct Subsidized loans are for students who demonstrate financial need, as determined by their cost of attendance minus expected family contribution and other financial aid (such as grants and scholarships). Subsidized loans do not accrue interest while students are enrolled in school or during authorized periods of deferment. Loan repayment will begin at the end of the six-month grace period extended by the Federal Government upon graduation.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan: Non-credit based, Direct Unsubsidized loans are for students who do not demonstrate need, or who have exhausted their need-based aid before reaching the estimated cost of attendance. Students are required to pay the interest while in school but have the option to defer the interest payments until the loan enters repayment. Once a student drops to enrollment status of less than half time, repayment on loans will begin.
Federal Work-Study:
Out-of-State Tuition Waivers
Out-of-State tuition may be waived for certain full- and part-time enrolled non-residents who have skills or abilities which will contribute to the academic environment of the University. UNF attracts a great majority of its students from Northeast Florida. In an effort to create a diversified student body, the University actively seeks a limited number of students who reside outside of Florida. Non-resident students should contact the individual college to apply. Awards are made based on the availability of funds.
Appeals Procedure
Anappeal is a request for re-evaluation of the offer of financial assistance based upon changes in the circumstances reported on the application for financial aid. If a student believes that some aspect of his/her financial situation, which would affect the evaluation of financial need, was over-looked during the award process, the student is entitled to an appeal. To request an award re-evaluation, please contact One Stop Student Services. Appeals of financial aid offers are subject to federal, state, and University regulations, as well as available funds.
The University of North Florida offers a comprehensive scholarship program to attract and reward students who have superior talent in academics, athletics, fine arts, and extracurricular activities. To be considered for any UNF scholarship, a student must first apply and be admitted to the University. Because many of our scholarships require that students file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), we recommend that all students interested in scholarships complete the FAFSA. This process can be completed online. Visit the Department of Education's website at www.fafsa.ed.gov for detailed information on completing the FAFSA.
Institutional Scholarships: All students who apply and are admitted to UNF are automatically considered for freshman scholarships based on their admissions application information. Scholarships are awarded based on a variety of factors, including high school grade point average, school course selection, and SAT or ACT test scores. Transfer students may also be considered for institutional scholarships based on their admissions application information, transfer grade point average, and intended major.
Foundation Scholarships: Foundation scholarships are funded through contributions made to the University from private donors. These awards have specific eligibility requirements and stipulations regarding the awarding and monitoring of the scholarships which have been established by the donor and the University. Please visit the UNF Financial Aid website for detailed information concerning these scholarships.
State Scholarships: State scholarships are funded by the state of Florida. The state determines the recipients as well as when and how these awards are allocated. The University must confirm student eligibility. The most prominent example of a state funded scholarship is the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. Students work with their high school guidance counselors to apply for the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship during their last year in high school. To learn more about the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program, visit their website. For other information concerning state-sponsored scholarships, visit the state website.

Dog Hookworm – How it Affects Puppies and the Mode of Treatment to Follow
Hookworms are relatively more dangerous than other types of worms in dogs . Left untreated, hookworms can lead to death. This is particularly true for young puppies.
Hookworms are ravenous creatures that suck blood by sticking themselves to the intestinal walls of the host. The hookworm larvae can even burrow into the skin of the human foot or leg causing itchy lesions. Hookworms are not as common among the feline parasites, but if they do infect a cat, they can be equally problematic for cats, dogs and humans.
The most common species of hookworm that infects puppies is Ancylostoma caninum. The natural habitat of this species is warm and humid areas in the countryside, but they are known to survive almost anywhere. Although the most common mode of transmission to puppies is through the mother's milk, hookworms can also penetrate the skin and get into a puppy's body. Once inside, they cling to the intestinal walls with their hooks, a characteristic which gives them their name.
Symptoms of worms in dogs are mostly general in nature, but hookworms, being voracious blood suckers, can drain energy in puppies to a much larger extent than in adult dogs. Symptoms of hookworms in puppies depend upon the severity of the infection. The most common symptoms of hookworm infestation in puppies include anemia (in severe cases), disturbance in bowel movement and diminished vitality. Hookworms can affect a young dog to such an extent that even mild infection causes a puppy to curl up and sleep for long hours, shunning play.
Most other worms in dogs can be seen alive in dog feces. Unlike other types of worms, hookworms are extremely small and cannot be viewed with a naked eye. This physical trait of a hookworm means that a microscopic examination is the only method to confirm the prevalence of hookworms.
It is imperative that you initiate preventive treatment for hookworms in puppies as soon as they are 2 weeks old. For the effective removal of hookworms, the treatment has to be repeated after every two weeks until the puppy is two months old. In a high risk environment, the same treatment should be continued at weekly intervals for another month and then at monthly intervals until the dog is six months old. Thereafter, medication for preventing heartworm can be used which is effective for roundworms, hookworms and dog tapeworm as well. A nursing mother should be treated along with her puppies to ensure that worms do not continue to pass through lactation.
Despite proper treatment, it may be necessary to provide supportive care in the form of a high protein diet and iron supplements to make up for the blood loss. In extremely severe cases, a blood transfusion may also be required.
Considering the treatment protocol, it is better to take preventive measures. Regular cleaning of the environment and periodic check-ups can go a long way to prevent and control infection. Since hookworms can also penetrate human skin, it is advised that children be kept away from infected puppies. Walking barefoot in areas where the dogs defecate, like the backyard or the garden, can be dangerous for adults also.
