Liverpool FC and U.S. National Team call-up Marc Pelosi endorses LA Galaxy addition of "role model" Steven Gerrard
CARSON, Calif. -- When the U.S. National Team trained at StubHub Center earlier this month, there was one other player who had a connection to the LA Galaxy other than homegrown products Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes -- 20-year-old Liverpool midfielder Marc Pelosi.
The German-born midfielder who grew up in Northern California has drawn comparisons to the newest member of the LA Galaxy, midfielder Steven Gerrard who will join the reigning MLS Cup champions this July.
"To be honest, everyone was kind of shocked he was coming over here, just because they thought he would finish his career in Liverpool," said Pelosi. "I think it's a good move for him, because, like he said, he doesn't want to have any regrets when he finishes his career, saying, "Oh, I wish I did that or that."
Although anyone would forgive the youngster for being starry-eyed around the lifetime Liverpool man, Pelosi says that on the inside, Gerrard takes an active approach in reaching out to young players.
"Like everyone always says, "Oh, he's a great role model." But from the inside, the first time I went to train with the first team, when I was 17, he was the first one that came up to me and was asking, "Oh, where are you from? How you doing? How's it going over here?" said Pelosi. "When he was younger, he played right wing and stuff, but now he's kind of dropped more into the middle and holding a little bit, just directing the game like he does. But, of course, most midfielders in the world try to play their games [similar to] Steven Gerrard, because he's one of the best midfielders in the world."
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says he's "confident" the team will sign a "good player" with MLS allocation place
CARSON, Calif. – Whatever plans that the LA Galaxy had for their third spot in allocation order may have changed on Tuesday due to a blockbuster deal between the New York Red Bulls and Montreal Impact.
The Red Bulls dealt Ambroise Oyongo, midfielder Eric Alexander, allocation money and a 2015 international roster spot to Montreal for Felipe and the top spot in the allocation order. If reports are to be believed, New York are after reported Galaxy target Sacha Kljestan and with the top spot in the allocation order, they will have first choice should U.S. international return to Major League Soccer.
After Galaxy practice on Tuesday, LA head coach and general manager Bruce Arena said that the Red Bulls move up the order may change things for his team's plans.
"Well certainly it changes the pecking order on players that are available. That'll likely be the case that maybe our first preferred choice we wouldn't get and we get somebody else," Arena told LA Galaxy Insider. "We're confident where we are we're going to get a good player to match our needs. In all honesty I don't think it matters whether we get our first choice player, second choice player or third choice player. We're in good shape."
Although New York's move up to queue may put a wrench in LA's reported plans for Kljestan, Arena is adamant that his club will wait until the right player comes along even if it is not in this transfer window.
"We don't need to [sign anyone] in this transfer window," said Arena. "We'll bring someone in sometime and I would say certainly before July. We'll try to bring in somebody in February or March. If we can't do that now then maybe a little bit later."
CARSON, Calif. – Former LA Galaxy striker Edson Buddle had a pair of lean years with the Colorado Rapids, but now he's back with LA eager to rediscover his form.
After leaving the Galaxy in 2012, Buddle struggled mightily with the Rapids notching only seven goals and four assists in 42 appearances across two seasons. The 33-year-old who is one of eight players to score 100 goals in MLS had his finest season with the Galaxy back in 2010 when scored 17 times en route to a berth on the U.S. National Team's roster at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
As Buddle looks to earn a deal with LA, head coach Bruce Arena said that the forward will have every opportunity to lock down a contract with the Galaxy.
"We'll see where he is physically and how he fits into the group," said Arena. "Three days in, we don't have all these decisions made. There's plenty of time to see where everything is in place. We're going to let this evolve and see where we stand. Everyone that is here has a chance to make our team."
CARSON, Calif. -- There were several new faces as the LA Galaxy returned to the training ground on Friday.
The most notable new face was former Galaxy forward Edson Buddle who spent four years with the club from 2007 to 2010 and then again in 2012. Buddle was not the only newcomer training with the team as he was joined by Galaxy II stalwarts midfielder Andre Auras and defender Daniel Steres. Joining the two Los Dos stars and the club's MLS draft selections was U.C. Davis defender Ramon Martin del Campo who went undrafted in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
While the rookies may be something of an unknown, Arena believes that the coaching staff has a grasp of what the likes of Auras and Steres can contribute heading into the preseason.
"They're good solid players and they trained with us last year at times so we brought them into preseason to see how they fit with our group," said head coach Bruce Arena.
Veteran defender Todd Dunivant who is now the longest tenured player on the Galaxy admitted that he was happy to see the first team attempt to bring in some of the talent from Los Dos.
"It's great because that's the idea behind Galaxy II," Dunivant said. "We want the guys to earn their way here and we also want to be able to reward them and give them that opportunity."
CARSON, Calif. -- Dan Gargan entered the 2014 preseason unsure if he'll have a job and now a year later, he's signed a deal that will keep him in LA another year.
The club announced that they have re-signed the 32-year-old defender twho played in a total of 35 games in all competitions as the Galaxy won a fifth MLS Cup title, to a multi-year deal. A veteran outside back, Gargan played primarily on the right side of defense in 2014 while also seeing some action along the left side when needed.
Once preseason begins, Gargan will again likely slot in as the back-up right back behind fellow veteran A.J. DeLaGarza while serving as the primary right back when DeLaGarza is placed in the middle. Unlikely last year, however, he'll likely face compeition from youngster Oscar Sorto who is currently in camp with the U.S. National Team.
LA Galaxy select defender Daniel Keller and goalkeeperAndrew Wolverton in final rounds of the MLS SuperDraft
CARSON, Calif. -- The 2015 MLS SuperDraft concluded on Tuesday with the LA Galaxy making two selections, nabbing Louisville defender Daniel Keller and Penn State goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton with their picks in the third and fourth rounds of the draft.
The Galaxy nabbed Keller, a central defender who spent four years with the Cardinals, with the 62nd overall selection in the third round. A regular starter in his last two years with Louisville, Keller scored three goals and tallied two assists while making a total of 52 appearances for the Cardinals.
With their final selection, the Galaxy drafted goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton out of Penn State University. A four year starter with the Nittany Lions, Wolverton maintained a record of 38-23-8 during his time with Penn State while also making 225 saves and keeping 32 shutouts.
Jurgen Klinsmann: "Open door" for LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers to return to the U.S. National Team
Jurgen Klinsmann's decision to call-up a heaping of Under-23 eligible players may have been the reason that LA Galaxy left back Robbie Rogers was not on the U.S. National Team's January camp roster, but the USMNT boss insists that the door is open for the LA defender to return to the U.S. fold.
Following a stellar 2014 season that saw Rogers rejuvenate his career with a move to left back, the 27-year-old was considered a frontrunner to earn a call-up for the annual January camp at StubHub Center. However with Klinsmann calling 11 players who are age-eligible for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Klinsmann said that Rogers could not make the cut.
"There was a thought about Robbie," Klinsmann told reporters on Wednesday. "He had a good season, also, obviously, a winning season. The situation is just, and this is what this kind of camp ended up with was: How can we develop the maximum amount of Olympic team players at the same time? If it was purely senior guys, Robbie would be in that camp."
Rogers was an Olympian himself the last time U.S. qualified back in 2008 and has complied 18 appearances for the senior team, which included making the 30-man preliminary roster ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Although Klinsmann did not room for Rogers this January, the U.S. head coach provided assurances that the LA Galaxy player remains on his radar -- possibly for this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"I said, 'Ah, it's a pity not to give that guy that a chance,'" Klinsmann said. "On the other side, we said, 'You know what, it is important to have 12, 13 Olympic team players in here, because we've got to build them. The sooner the better.' And that's why some players were left out, and Robbie was one of them. But there's always definitely an open door."
LA Galaxy to report for 2015 preseason on Jan. 22; will play Hammarby in Sweden as part of European preseason tour
A little more than a month after winning MLS Cup, the LA Galaxy are getting back to business.
The club announced on Tuesday that Galaxy players will report for physicals on Jan. 22 before returning to the field a day later. LA will train at StubHub Center until Feb. 11 before the departs for Europe for a pair of friendlies against Swedish -- and AEG owned -- side Hammarby at Tele2 Arena in Stockholm on Feb. 16 at 11:30 a.m. PT (7:30 p.m. local time) before taking on Republic of Ireland giant Shamrock Rovers in Dublin on Feb. 21 at 8 a.m. PT (4 p.m. local time). The Galaxy will return to Los Angeles on Feb. 22 and begin to their turn their focus to the regular season opener against the Chicago Fire on March 6.
Prior to the first team's departure for Europe, USL PRO affiliate LA Galaxy II will host open try outs at StubHub Center on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1
Excited for the Galaxy to return to action?
LA Galaxy fans will still need to wait about seven months until Steven Gerrard suits up for the club, but it's very apparent that the 34-year-old Liverpool FC legend will be in top form once he arrives.
On Friday morning during Liverpool's preparations for Saturday's match against Sunderland (4:45 am on NBCSN/mun2) at their training ground Melwood, Gerrard delivered an impressive left-footed volley that sailed into the back of the net.
Watch the goal above.
Excited to see what Gerrard will bring once he arrives? How closely will you be watching Liverpool FC's games now?

Jurgen Klinsmann says injury the reason that LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez omitted from USMNT January camp roster
Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes will be the LA Galaxy's representatives at the U.S. National Team's annual January camp, but there was one notable omission: USMNT defensive mainstay Omar Gonzalez.
Although there was some initial worry from the Twitterverse about why Gonzalez had been dropped, U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann told U.S. Soccer's official website that a nagging injury prevented the LA Galaxy defender from being included in the squad.
"When you put together the roster for January Camp, you eventually talk to the players, you talk to their club coaches and everyone is in a bit of a different situation," Klinsmann said. "The season here has a different schedule than overseas or in Mexico, and here and there you run into issues with players that you think it's better if they maybe keep on curing some injuries, like in the case of Omar Gonzalez or Graham Zusi. They are not fully fit yet, so we decided to say 'take it easy going into pre-season of your club team'."
UPDATE: Fox Soccer's Alexi Lalas provided an update on Gonzalez via Twitter saying that he is undergoing "proactive knee maintenance"
The @LAGalaxy says @Omar4Gonzalez is doing "proactive knee maintenance" and is the reason why he wasn't called in to #USMNT.
— Alexi Lalas (@AlexiLalas) January 9, 2015
Gonzalez enjoyed a strong year for the U.S. in 2014 as he appeared in his first FIFA World Cup while also making eight appearances for Klinsmann's side.

Boulder asks feds to limit cost of divorce from Xcel
- Cathy Proctor
- Reporter- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Facebook | Twitter
Boulder has taken a big step on its path toward breaking off from Xcel Energy Inc.
Attorneys for the city filed a petition Friday with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington, D.C. The petition asks the commission to "confirm" that the city won't owe Xcel any money for investments the utility makes in order to produce power for the city.
> Click here to download the petition.
> And click here to a access a website the city has set up offering information about its efforts to create a new utility.
Boulder City Attorney Tom Carr said a decision limiting Boulder's payments to Xcel (NYSE: XEL), Colorado's largest power utility, for its investments in power plants that provide energy to Boulder customers would benefit the city and Xcel.
"The cheapest energy is the energy you don't have to generate," Carr said. "If Boulder customers are drawing less of their energy from Xcel, the existing supply can be reallocated to others in Colorado without ratepayers having to pay for new and expensive infrastructure. This helps everyone."
But Xcel, in a statement late Friday, said the utility was disappointed with Boulder's petition to the federal commission.
"With this filing, Boulder has begun a long and expensive process, and appears to be moving past any remaining 'off-ramps,' We will read the petition and determine the appropriate response.
"Ultimately, Xcel Energy will do what we need to do to protect our remaining Colorado customers, including those who have not had a say in the municipalization process," the utility said.
In November 2011, Boulder voters narrowly approved two ballot measures allowing city staff to explore the feasibility of creating a new, city-owned utility to provide electricity to residents and businesses and kick Xcel out of the city. At the time, city officials said there were many "off-ramps" in the study process where the city could decide to stick with Xcel.

An invitation to view my garden photos
My garden is still young, but I enjoy the process of designing new outdoor spaces and watching plantings mature. I hope you enjoy my photos at: pbase.com/gail_vann/garden_2006.
Your gardens are fanastic ! I love the progression of photos starting with spring, going thru late fall. If this is a young garden, I can't wait to see it in the years to come. You have an artist's eye, and are very talented. Thanks for sharing !
I love your stone walk! Did you do that yourself? Where did you find the instructions on how to do it?
Hi chucklette, nice garden and greetings to this beautiful Garden from my garden.... check out how gardening looks like in Germany http://www.lemmerhome.com/t3/garten/ -you will find avideo clip of our garden which was done while we competed to win a gardening contest (...we won it!)
happy gardening
Here is a link that might be useful: Award winning garden in Germany
Beautiful...you are obviously a far better and more disciplined gardener than I. Of course there are no weeds in your flowerbeds. No bug holes or hail damage. No tire tracks through your lawn. No strange "bed fellows" that you just couldn't find room for anyplace else. No "Whoops, that's not quite the color I was expecting". No "I had no idea that would get so tall." What a peaceful, well behaved family of plants you have there!
Oh, and we obviously are gardening in VERY different climates - lobelia? In summer? Coleus that near a stone wall? In summer? You're kidding, right?
Actually, now that I think of my own garden, I'm not sure we are on the same planet. Your planet sure looks pleasant, though.

Baghdad province broke ground last week on the Mahmoudiyah sewage project, one of the largest service projects in the district.
Provincial officials said building the sewage network will cost 138 billion dinars ($115 million).
"The project consists of sewage treatment stations, a rainwater discharge network, and a piping network system that covers the entire Mahmoudiyah district," Baghdad Governor Salah Abdul Razak said at a press briefing.
"The project will greatly improve the provision of major services in the area and will also help provide employment for a large number of workers in the area," he said.
The Iraqi al-Ijiyad Company will execute the project, which is financed by the 2012 Regional Development Plan.
Mohammed al-Rubaie, chairman of the planning and monitoring committee in the Baghdad Provincial Council, told Mawtani that the start of the Mahmoudiyah swage project is timely since the district badly needs it.
"The project was supposed to have started in 2008 but was delayed due to the absence of sufficient financing in recent years due to a shortage of funds," he said. "But now it has started, and will be a major project if the company that was awarded the project succeeds in completing it."
Muhanad al-Ghrairi, member of the Mahmoudiyah district municipal council, shared al-Rubaie's sentiment about the importance of the project. "The present sewage network in the area is worn out, and residents are bearing the brunt of it, especially during the winter time when the rainy season starts," he said.
Al-Ghrairi said a large number of streets in the district flood with water during winter because the sewers are too old and cannot handle the capacity.
"This project is a project we badly needed, and will help a great deal in serving the citizens and easing their hardship," he said.
Al-Ghrairi also urged officials to build a larger number of construction projects in the district to create work opportunities for residents and thereby provide the best services to citizens.
Baghdad province is also preparing to begin construction of a housing project in the Mahmoudiyah district. According to the province's report, the project consists of 84 housing buildings, with schools, health centers, markets, and parks nearby to serve residents.
Mohammad al-Saedi, member of the Iraqi parliament's services committee, said the shortage of funds in recent years has negatively affected the building of important and vital projects in the district.
"The 2012 budget is good and will positively meet citizens' hopes and aspirations for projects. The provincial council has drafted a comprehensive plan to build projects based on their importance to the residents," he told Mawtani.
In September, the provincial council announced that the Ministry of Finance allocated 1.3 trillion dinars ($1 billion) in the 2012 budget for Baghdad province.
"During the next one or two years, Baghdad will witness great progress in the areas of construction and services," al-Saedi said.

More than 150 drivers were ticketed by state police in the first 12 hours of a campaign targeting drivers on their cellphones.
Operation Hang Up, as it's called by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was put in place Sunday and will be running through Monday.
During that time, state police will be aggressively ticketing individuals, as evidenced by the more than 150 tickets issued Sunday statewide. One state trooper issued eight tickets in an hour while patrolling Kingston, N.Y.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
Distracted driving – utilizing a handheld device while operating a motor vehicle – is a big problem on Long Island.
Outside of New York City, more tickets have been written for the offense in Suffolk County than anywhere else. More than 2,350 tickets have been issued for distracted driving in Suffolk since the beginning of 2012. Nassau finished three spots back of Suffolk in total tickets issued with 1,846.
Slightly more tickets had been issued in Erie and Westchester counties than in Nassau.

Utah joins other states asking Supreme Court to uphold traditional marriage
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah has joined two briefs filed with the U.S. Supreme Court asking justices to support state and federal laws defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Utah Attorney General John Swallow filed the friend of the court briefs requesting the nation's high court overturn rulings that struck down California's Proposition 8 and in support of the Defense of Marriage Act.
Utah joins 18 other states in asking the court to take action in support of traditional marriage.
"Traditional marriage is the bedrock foundation for families and society," Swallow said in a prepared statement. "As part of my promise to protect Utah families, we will fight to make sure traditional marriage is protected and preserved."
The action comes days after The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, in conjunction with other faiths, filed amicus briefs in support of the federal Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8.
The Utah Pride Center last week announced its intention to file briefs on the other side of the case, in support of the repeal of Proposition 8 and against the Defense of Marriage act.
Friend of the court briefs can be filed up until March 1.

So back on my externship, myself, along with six other OT students were placed in a government funded daycare center in the outskirts of San Jose, Costa Rica. They have very limited staff and very limited supplies, but the children were so excited to see us and play with us! We really just provided compassion and care, and showed interest in them as individuals. The children could have really benefited from occupational therapy services for fine or gross motor as well as social play and manners. We played a lot of games with them, sang songs, created arts and crafts, and just got to know them. It was a really wonderful experience. Even though we weren't able to make huge changes in their daily activities, I hope we sparked enough desire in them to improve their quality of life. The children were so appreciative of the time we spent with them, and I would love the chance to go back and spend even more time with them!
Even though the main reason for the trip to Costa Rica was the externship, we still had lots of time for fun! We stayed with a host family and got to experience the real, home-cooked Costa Rican cuisine every day. We got to go ziplining, see volcanoes, visit the hot springs, hike through the rainforest, and of course, spend lots of time at the gorgeous beaches! Overall it was an amazing experience, and I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience it and especially with a great group of friends! It will be one of my best memories of the master's program!
Pura vida!]]>
The organizers laid out a large spread of Chinese cuisine including a jellyfish appetizer. They took into special consideration the vegetarian students and had several vegetarian dishes for the several Indian and vegetarian therapists and students.
Chinese New Year: It is the year of the goat, and obviously there was a lengthy discussion on Chinese zodiac animals and everyone wanted to find out which sign they were and the significance. Mine is the Dragon ☺.
Adley Chan informed us on the correct way of eating noodles and they say NEVER cut a noodle before it is entirely in your mouth. In China, people have the custom to eat noodles on the birthdays. The long and continuous noodle strips are the symbolic meaning of longevity. So people who choose to eat noodles on the birthdays show their wishes to live longer and maintain a better life. The noodle represents longevity and cutting it before it reaches the mouth indicates bad luck, cutting the longevity and good health.
All in all it was a fun, laughter filled dinner and getting to know the faculty and other students better. Happy Chinese New Year!!!
OT 574 Enhancing Motor Control for Occupation
This course is AWESOME! Students taking this course have the opportunity to understand the principles and methods for remediation of movement impairments following upper motor neuron lesions (ex. Stroke). Our time is spent at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center composed of lectures, laboratory experiences, discussions, etc. This course has a lot of hands-on components, which is great for me as a kinesthetic learner.
Here is a brief video of me trying Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on myself. EMS can be used on some patients to elicit muscle contraction using electric impulses.
OT 578 Therapeutic Communication for the Healthcare Practitioner
For 2 units, this course has definitely taught me principles and practice of a variety of therapeutic communication skills, including motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Much of health care today involves helping individuals manage conditions whose outcomes can be influenced by lifestyle change. After learning aspects of motivational interviewing (MI), I find myself putting MI into practice with individuals that I'm working with now! We just had our last class this past Tuesday ☹.
Here is our class photo:
OT 583 Lifestyle Redesign
This was definitely on my list during the selection process due to the unique nature of this course. The practice of Lifestyle Redesign is an innovative treatment approach that was developed here at USC! Lifestyle Redesign is the process of acquiring healthier habits and routines in your everyday life. I really love learning how to collaborate with patients to address their needs, provide education and help them set and attain their goals! What is awesome about this approach is that it really allows the patient to be in the driver's seat, and the occupational therapist as the passenger. ☺ As we learn the components of Lifestyle Redesign in this course, we also get to practice by working with one of our classmates to really implement lifestyle change in their own lives!
Here is a photo of one of our sessions taking place outdoors in a relaxing manner(no faces shown due to protect privacy of patient):
Here is a photo of one of our modules we get to develop in class:
OT 500 Optimal Living with Multiple Sclerosis
I have nothing but great things to say about this course! As occupational therapy students we get to learn how to work with people who have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) using Lifestyle Redesign intervention. This course allows me to utilize the skills I have learned in both my OT 578 Therapeutic Communication for the Healthcare Practitioner course, as well as OT 538 Lifestyle Redesign. We also gain experience running a group module, along with working individually with one to two participants from the community (recruited by the National MS Society). We also get to work with 2nd year physical therapy students and co-treat twice during the semester! I have been working with two participants this semester and the process has been great! I really love the experience I am gaining through this course.
Here is a before photo of one of my sessions with one of my participants:
Here is a photo of items my counterpart and I used for one of the group modules to discuss roles and engagement of occupations:
Here are two photos of another group module discussing and practicing adaptive equipment to participants:
This is just a taste of some of the course the division has to offer to students, there are plenty of others you can choose from. Here is the elective courses link if you are interested in looking through the courses we have to offer.
This semester has been quite busy for me, hence the lack of blogging ☹… I know, shame on me! Regardless, I still try to make some time for me by engaging in some of the occupations I love: ☺
While I work on packing, I will leave you all with some pictures of my awesome dog Mosquito. I will only be gone for three weeks, but I know I will sure miss his warm cuddling.
Throwback to the baby year, 2013.
This one time, I was hiking with Leila and her sister at a pretty challenging course. I remember for one of the pathways, the hill incline grade was ridiculously steep (almost 45 degrees.) I remember Leila's sister was wearing one of those drawstring backpacks, in which she had only one strap over her shoulder. Almost automatically, I found the following words coming out of my mouth: "It may be easier if you put on both straps of your backpack on so that way there's no muscle imbalance. Also, get down more towards the floor to lower your center of gravity, and spread out your feet to increase you base of support; it may be easier to get up the hill." I remember Leila smirking, and I found myself laughing as well, because I totally OT-geeked out. Best believe we got up that mountain, here's a pic from the top!
This other time, I was on my way to a concert with some friends from the program. I remember being in the backseat of a full car, faced with a dilemma I'm sure you've all been through: trying to find your seatbelt buckle between the tiny crevice between you and your friend, without looking. I remember saying to my friends, wow, the stereognosis demand on this task is through the roof! For those of you that don't know, stereognosis is defined as the ability to perceive the form of an object utilizing the sense of touch. I debated with my OT homies and they just laughed, saying "Jon, can we not talk about anything school related right now!?" I responded by saying "I'm sorry, I can't help it! I can't turn it off!"
To preface these last examples, I'll give you a little background about my family: it is currently being overran by numerous cute babies. It's straight up baby land at my family parties. With that said, I find myself sort of becoming the baby guru of my family. I remember one of my cousins was mentioning that her daughter loves to wash her hands. I then asked, "Does she like to do anything regarding water?" She immediately replied, "Yeah. She loves the water." I replied with, "Well, she may be sensory seeking towards anything that involves water, much alike me." It's important to note that during any family party, I will take my niece an average of 4-5 times to wash her hands (even if her hands are clean,) and every time I do take her, all I can think to myself is…. "I feel you girl, I feel you!" Haha lastly, during a recent Superbowl family party I was hanging out with my 9 month nephew and I was rocking him side to side as he rested in my arms. In 5 minutes, he was sleeping… a friend called me the baby whisperer, to which I replied "I can't take the credit… it's the vestibular input magic at work."
Yeah, sometimes the OT geeking out can get a little crazy and out of control. The fact is, once you're an OT, you can't really turn it off. Call it what it is, but it's one of the things that comes with being an OT: we are trained to analyze people in the context of their meaningful activities; the occupations that are embedded in everyday life. The lens never really comes off, even if you try. I guess idealistically, I would like to compartmentalize school, work, and my personal life, but the fact is, having an OT lens doesn't feel like work… at this point in time, it's second nature, and it's something that I love to do. I guess Confucius said it best: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." For me, that's what occupational therapy is.

This semester, as many other ambassadors have written about, is the semester in which we get to pick our own classes. While the program prepares you to become a general practitioner, this is the semester in which we get to explore the things we are most interested in. This is a great opportunity to learn more about a specific population or domain of occupational therapy practice. For many students, like myself, deciding these electives can be a daunting task. This is only because my interests are so vast. When asked what I'm interested in, I always say, "Everything under the sun. Except for pediatrics." And while my answer is so definitive when it comes to pediatric practice, I still secretly think that there is a itty bitty chance I may change my mind about this down the road. In the end, I chose classes that were most interesting to me. These include Motor Control, Acute Care, Optimal Living with Multiple Sclerosis, and Therapeutic Communication. Although it took me some time to solidify my schedule this semester, these classes have been awesome. I have really been enjoying them equally. In Motor Control, we get to go to Rancho Los Amigos and learn all about proper mobilization techniques and in Optimal Living, we get to work alongside participants living with MS and work towards their goals using principles of Lifestyle Redesign. All my classes are somewhat different from each other, which keeps in line with where my interests lie, all over the place. Nevertheless, I am very grateful we get to have this unique opportunity at USC. If you are curious about what other classes are offered in this semester, you can find a list of them on our website or you can click here: http://chan.usc.edu/academics/two-year-masters/curriculum-and-requirements.]]>
One thing that I like to tell prospective students about is the various ways to get involved as a graduate student. One way is the USC Graduate Student Government, which puts on various events for graduate students on both the University Park Campus and the Health Science Campus.
There are lots of events that happen, including professional networking events, book clubs, happy hour gatherings, and discounted tickets to events in Los Angeles!
The most recent event that I went to that was sponsored by the Graduate Student Government was to listen to the LA Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I really enjoyed it!
I haven't listened to classical music in a really long time, and it was a wonderful way to spend a weekend evening.
This was the flyer that caught my attention!
We had seats that faced the conductor, which made our experience really interesting! I have never been able to see the face of the conductor before, and it was pretty inspiring to see how he was so immersed into the music. I found myself completely immersed in the performance and watching the conductor and all the talented musicians play. It actually reminded me about flow, a theory developed by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi that comes up in our occupational therapy discussions. The concept of flow discusses the full immersion of a person in an activity which the skill and the challenge is balanced; it often results in a different experience of time. I felt like the three hour concert flew by so quickly!
In our qualitative research class last year, my group and I conducted a mini research project on the experience of performance anxiety in musicians, specifically the contrast between solo instrumentalists versus orchestra members. I was reminded of our research and interviews with musicians as we listened to the performance as well. There were trumpet and horn solos in two symphonies, in which the entire orchestra stops playing and everyone listens to the really complex solo. I almost stopped breathing because part of me was scared of the soloist messing up. The solos were absolutely brilliant and I shouldn't have worried at all. It was interesting that during this classical music performance, I realized that we had explored so many different topics in our program!
So that's a snippet of what's happening in my OT grad life!]]>
Obviously there are the basics to do and see like sporting events, museums, and the beach, but there are tons of places to go hiking, always new restaurants (or hole in the walls) to eat at, and tv tapings to attend! Here's a compilation of some of my favorites!
Disneyland, Hike to Hollywood Sign, Santa Monica Pier and 3rd Street Promenade, Huntington Gardens, USC Division of OSOT, Tv Taping of Chelsea Lately, Malibu Beach, Tv Taping of Dancing with the Stars, Exposition Park
Los Angeles Zoo (new and old), Ellen!, Arts District, Rose Parade, Venice Beach, USC Football Game, Walt Disney Studios, Staples Center - Sports Events or Concerts, Hiking on Echo Mountain
Food galore, need I say more?
What are your favorites? Tell me if there is somewhere I need to go! Or let me know if you have questions of somewhere I have been!]]>
Point being, occupational therapy is a vast field with many faces. An occupational therapist can work with a variety of individuals across a number of diverse settings. With that said, I think it's because of this reason that it's a challenge to find an all-encompassing definition of exactly what it is that we do. In my own experiences, my definition of OT is constantly evolving the more I am exposed to the different things that an occupational therapist can do. Just to give you a better idea of the many hats that OT's can wear, I will talk about some of my own experiences regarding occupational therapy and the various outlets I've had the privilege of applying my passion towards.
My first level I fieldwork was at City of Hope. Oncology is an emerging field in occupational therapy, and this was something I've always wanted to explore because I've always had a passion for working with individuals who have cancer. Over at City of Hope, I was doing a number of different OT interventions, such as mirror therapy, ADL/IADL training, therapeutic exercise, and energy conservation techniques. I remember one of my patients was a Mother. I remember her telling me during our sessions together that it was not the cancer itself that was the most challenging aspect, it was more so her frustrations of feeling that she was not able to engage in the roles and occupations that were meaningful to her. Specifically, she felt like she could not be the Mother she wanted to be, and she could not live the active lifestyle she had desired, because she did not the same energy she once had to undertake these ventures. Thus, in her therapy sessions we would work on energy conservation techniques and we would find ways to build her activity tolerance, so that way she felt more connected to who she was while battling her cancer. The context of occupation engaged her in therapy, and I really enjoyed my time working with her. Here's a picture of my favorite place at City of Hope, the Golter Gate.
My second level I fieldwork was at Project 180. It was over here that I was working with individuals who were incarcerated or who were at risk for incarceration. I remember watching a 30 days documentary by Morgan Spurlock, and he mentioned a statistic that 2 out of every 3 individuals who are incarcerated will be readmitted back into prison. Thus, Project 180 aims to help these individuals who are at risk for incarceration develop the skills that they need in order to successfully reintegrate into the community. The interventions I was doing consisted of a number of things, including helping an individual find a job, develop a skill set for maintaining a job, helping an individual reconnect to their family, and basically supporting these individuals to turn the chapter and recreate a new life story that they could be proud of. Here I am with my friend Amy, on our last day at Project 180.
I've mentioned my time at the Honolulu VA in my previous blogs. It was over here that I was able to work with the heroes who have served our country in inpatient, outpatient, and home based primary care settings. Over here, I was able to help veterans rehabilitate injuries utilizing the occupations that they loved to do. Last semester, I did my level I FW in Pediatrics at NJA therapy services, where I was helping children with special needs in both school based and outpatient settings. Over here, I was utilizing interventions such as fine motor exercises, sensory integration, and ADL training to help these children live a life to their fullest potential. This semester, I'm working with individuals who have multiple sclerosis utilizing a lifestyle redesign model. In doing so, I'm putting in my 100% effort to help my participants reach their meaningful goals, and am supporting these individuals to connect to the occupations that provide them meaning.
Based on my experiences, here is my definition of OT: we are a health profession that helps an individual reach their meaningful goals and fullest potential utilizing meaningful activity. This can be through prevention or rehabilitation, but ultimately we use the context of occupation to help an individual get to where they want to be. We look at a number of factors, including social/physical environment, support systems, personal strengths, and participation patterns, to help an individual overcome the challenges that prevent them from doing what they would like to do. We utilize our skill set to help the people we work with, and put forth our efforts to empower these individuals to live a life engaged in the occupations that give them meaning.
With that said, I pose this question to you: What's your personal definition of OT?
- Jonathan]]>
I understand why time is going by so quickly though— I am busy, I am occupied and I am enjoying it. This semester has a much heavier workload compared to the first semester. Most people cringe at the thought of more work, but not me. The more productive I am the better I feel about myself. I don't see many of my classmates anymore as we are immersed into the electives with the rest of the second-years. We are being pushed out of our cozy comfort zone, and finally interacting with the other occupational therapy students.
A lot of good things are happening this semester, as we slowly edge towards reality. I bought a car to help me commute to Torrance thrice a week for the Sensory Integration Certification Course at Pediatric Therapy Network. It is hard to believe that in a couple of months we are going to be sitting for the NBCOT exams and looking for a job as licensed and registered OTs and also a certified SI therapist. It is going to be an exciting time and the light at the end of the tunnel is keeping me going!]]>
Today I want to share with you about my experience with the USC Student Run Clinic. The Student Run Clinic is a really unique organization that I would recommend students to get involved in! As an interdisciplinary care team, students from USC's schools of medicine, pharmacy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant work together to provide comprehensive health care to the underserved in Los Angeles.
This past weekend was the first time that I volunteered with SRC. I loved meeting other students and learning about how each of our professions contribute to the patient's care. It was a busy clinic weekend, so I was able to work with four patients. It was very interesting meeting a variety of patients of different ages and backgrounds! One challenge that I faced was the Spanish speaking language barrier; I learned that language is a crucial part of the communication with the patient. Because I am not the most fluent Spanish speaker (whoohoo high school Spanish), I felt like there were many things that I wanted to offer her as an occupational therapy student, but couldn't convey it properly to her.
On the other hand, it was extremely meaningful to see how the role of the occupational therapist is so client centered and that we are able to meet the patient as an individual person. When working with the patient diagnosed with depression, the other members of the team did a really great job at gathering her medical history. In the team huddles, I was able to bring a holistic perspective to her life and tie in the medical considerations to her participation in activities. However, I had the opportunity to get to know her and provide a safe space for her to really share what she was struggling with in her life. I was struck by how important it is to build trust with the patient and I felt honored that let me hear the full story about her experience.
Together, we explored all the things that troubled her, including the environment in her neighborhood, her relationships with family members, and challenges in her daily routine. As occupational therapists, we are also concerned about the emotional, psychological, and spiritual health of our patients. It turned out that spirituality was something that mattered a lot to this patient. With my facilitation and encouragement, she personally set a goal to engage in more spiritual reading to help calm her thoughts throughout the day. She left our session feeling empowered and motivated.
It was such a meaningful experience!]]>
But one course I am taking is actually a course I more or less made up myself! We are given the opportunity to complete an Independent Study or Independent Directed Research. I have mentioned in my previous blogs about a project I started last summer while I was in my Level II Fieldwork at a community based mental health wellness center. During my time there, the site identified a need for a group intervention for adults with ADHD. So I hit the ground running, researching different interventions that are currently out there and nothing seemed to fit just right, so I made my own. Throughout the summer, I spent time writing, rewriting, researching, reading, and presenting all the material I had found, and by the end I had the first draft of a facilitator and participant manual for a group intervention for Adults with ADHD on time management and organization skills. I would not have been so successful if it hadn't been for the mentorship of the faculty at USC who guided me through the process and encouraged me to further develop the program during my fall course "Occupation-Centered Programs for the Community." During this time, I revised the manual again and continued to research what was currently out there. I even had the opportunity to attend a conference by the Allen Cognitive Network where they highlighted some current interventions in time management. So this leads me to my independent study! I will continue the development and revisions of the manuals as well as be presenting at the Occupational Therapy Association of California (OTAC) Spring Symposium. I am so excited to pursue this opportunity and feel so lucky to have a program and Division that supports me in my interests and academic pursuits! Occupational therapy is a broad, diverse field that has many niches so there are constantly opportunities to pursue a passion of yours that you didn't even know existed! Follow your passion]]>
With that said, I am feeling rejuvenated to finish off this last semester strong mainly because I got to engage in some of my favorite occupations over the break, such as hiking, running, playing music, and of course hanging with my friends and family. In addition, I also had the opportunity to experience some pretty amazing moments over break. My 9 month old nephew took his first steps! I like to think (emphasis on like to think) that I may have had something to do with his developmental milestone, since he was pretty much my practice subject for all that I was learning in the pediatrics immersion I also had the opportunity to see Conan O' Brien (who I happen to think is the funniest man on the planet) at one of his TV show tapings, courtesy of my friend Brian, who's also in the program.
Lastly, one of the most heartfelt moments of the break was when I had the opportunity to deliver donated toys to some children who needed it the most. Every year during the holiday season, my sisters and I have a tradition of donating toys to the children of Los Angeles County USC hospital. This year, as the USC Occupational Therapy and Science Council Philanthropy Chair, I chose to open up this donation project to the faculty, staff, and my fellow students of the program. The donation project was also expanded to benefit the children of the VIP (Violence Intervention Program,) a wellness center down the street from our campus that provides support and advocacy services for children who are victims of abuse, neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, and children who are placed in the foster-care system. The response was nothing short of amazing! As I was putting the toys together, I could not help but be overcome with joy because my colleagues, teachers, and co-workers' generosity served as a reminder of what the holiday season is truly about: spreading a positive impact to bring joy into the lives of others. All together, we collected over 100 toys that were donated to the well deserving children of the Violence Intervention Program, creating some priceless holiday memories for these families. Here's a snapshot of the donations!
Shoutout to the person who donated the doggy! Ha I kidd, that's my dogggg.
As I embark on my final semester of the program, please tune in for more blog updates from my fellow ambassadors and I! There's a lot to look forward to this semester, including electives, OT month, my leadership capstone externship in the Philippines, and of course, graduation! As for now though, I will enjoy the ride while I can, and I'll be sure to document these experiences so that way you're riding shotgun with me
Until next time,
- Jonathan
This semester also includes a Leadership Capstone class, where we learn how to be leaders in our profession! Like I mentioned in my last blog, this class includes a 2 week leadership externship where we go to different sites to learn and showcase our leadership skills. This is a personalized experience for each student and the opportunities out there are vast! Over the break, I finalized my decision to go to Costa Rica and will be joining 6 other students! A group of seven of us will be split into two groups where we will be placed in two projects: either volunteering at an orphanage or with a street children project. We will be leaving March 1st, which is fast approaching! I'm extremely excited about this opportunity and look forward to the experience. As you can see, the spring semester is quite the change from our previous semesters. Both exciting and challenging!
During my winter break I didn't do much but enjoy the time off to relax and engage in my favorite occupations. Here is a collage of photos from my relaxing break!

The warmest most comfortable hat ever -
By: CourtGuardian from New York City
Truly awesome first quality materials and construction which is the warmest hat I have ever owned, Highly recommended.
You don't see this hat often -
By: Johnny28 from Maryland
nice leather hat.. warm and well made. the bill could be a bit longer to hold off the snow falling in you eyes.
Very Nice Hat -
By: CMulier from London, Ohio
I have used this hat outdoors since I got it as a gift. I love the hat. It fit well and keeps my head warm as advertised.
Lovely hat but needs a fix. -
By: Flicka54 from Chanhassen, MN
I purchased this hat for my husband for Christmas. It was a random gift that I thought he would like and yes, he loved it! Beautifully made, leather is soft and ear flaps snug and effective. However, the band on the front almost immediately curled up and is staying that way. I will likely call Orvis to see what can be done but since we're on vacation, have not had the opportunity to do so yet. Watch this space......... and Happy New Year!
By: Margit
Finally a classy hat -
By: HappyWifeNJ
My 64 year old husband is always covering his bald head with cheap baseball caps. I got this for Christmas and he loves it. So much better....He says it's very warm and soft. I measured the inside of one of his other caps to get his size. Worked perfectly.
Mu husband loved this gift -
By: forjeremy
This is a great hat. My husband can walk the dog and pull the ear flaps down for warmth when necessary
didn't work for me -
By: slickmick from New York, NY
The cap came as described in the catalog, but simply didn't look attractive on my head. The mistake was mine in not buying a product at your store instead.
Shearling Winter Ball Cap -
By: jennh
The warmest for Wisconsin winters...my husband wears the cap each day...is warm and very handsome. Quality is very good.
NIce cap ruined by cheap trim -
By: WatchfulEye from CT
I received the Orvis shearling ball cap as a gift.. This expensive and otherwise well-made cap is trimmed in cheap vinyl around the edge of the brim and the fold-down ear and neck flap. Shortly after I got the hat, the trim began to crack at the corners of the brim. And over time, the trim on the edge of the flap has shrunk and become stiff, so that the flap does not lie flat against the ears and neck when folded down and looks goofy. How much more could it possibly have cost to use a more flexible and durable trim material? Orvis used to be all about the little details like this. What happened?

Calif. burglar's 'selfie' photo leads to arrest
Adam Howe left a camera at the crime scene and detectives soon discovered he'd snapped a picture of himself
Associated Press
CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Authorities say it was a "selfie" that led detectives to a suspect in the burglary of a Southern California church.
U-T San Diego reports that detectives found a phone at the Chula Vista crime scene, where a laptop, cash and watches were stolen.
On the phone was a photo the suspect had apparently snapped of himself.
Residents recognized the man in the photo, and police arrested 26-year-old Adam Howe on Tuesday.
A search of his belongings uncovered property believed to be stolen from the Hilltop Tabernacle Church.
Further investigation led to the arrest of two other people.
Police say they've now linked Howe to thefts at a nearby mobile home park after residents recognized his picture in media reports.
A phone number listed in Howe's name rang without an answer Thursday.

text: Double Download: Nikki Minaj x Cam'Ron x Foxy Brown x Gyptian words by Eddie STATS Houghton Right after new rap sensation Nikki Minaj jumped on the Gyptian's "Hol' Yuh"–fast shaping up to be the Brooklyn anthem for summer 2010–old rap sensation Cam'Ron jumped on this classic 45 by Foxy Brown (not Pam Grier, I mean the Jamaican singer who made dancehall covers of Tracey Chapman songs)–the Brooklyn anthem for summer 1993 til infinity. Ironically Nikki's verse sounds exactly like Ill NaNa Foxy Brown and she looks like a shorty version of blaxploitation Foxy Brown. Anyway Killa Cam kinda, well, kills it and the bottom line is, whether you're a young artist looking for the crossover joint or a vet trying to re-energize your sparkle in the streets, a tuff riddim section a dweet. Download Cam'Ron x Foxy Brown, "Sorry" here. Download Gyptian f. Nikki Minaj, "Hol' Yuh" here. yomomma im not a minaj fan, granted. she makes me appreciate foxy brown more, who clearly has the best faux yardie flow. why trini girls rap and try and sound yardie, its always baffled me. Eddie Houghton aww you never rate Lauryn Hill's faux yardie flow? she knows all the tricks from bricks to kingston–and she's only Caribbean by marriage!
