by Mike Mejia, CSCS Out on the field of play things can, and do change in an instant. And while it's great to be fast and have lots of multi-directional speed, how quickly you can react to a given situation will often determine whether you make the play, or not. So, in this third installment of our series on improving first step quickness, we're going to take a look at one of my favorite drills to help improve reaction time. It's called the tennis ball drop, and it's about as low-tech as a drill can be- yet still amazingly effective. With this one, a partner or coach simply holds a tennis ball several feet in front of you. The further away they stand, the more difficult the drill will be. Begin by getting into a sprint ready position, with one foot just in front of the other and your back heel off the ground. Keep a nice long torso and hinge forward at the hips to get the proper body angle. Once you're set, your partner will then extend his, or her arm out just above shoulder's height, so that their arm is in your running path. Next, with no cue whatsoever, they'll drop the ball and you will have to retrieve it after just one bounce. In order to effectively execute this drill, you'll need to put force into the ground with your lower body so that you can explode forward into a linear, or straight ahead sprint. What you don't want to do is slide your lead foot back in an effort to get moving. Doing so would actually be wasting a step, as you're already in a sprint ready position and simply need to work on imparting force into the ground. Work with your partner and experiment with different distances until you can find one that really challenges you. Then, as you get better at the drill, you can increase the distance between the two of you. Please do be sure however to start with a different leg leading each time. It's important that you try and work both sides for more balanced development. In addition to using a sprint start, I'd like you to try the drill from a ready position as well. Now here, because your feet will be about shoulder's width apart, you won't be in the best position for linear speed development. So that's where something known as a "plyo step" will come into play. This is a quick back step in order to reposition your center of gravity and get your feet set in the right position for developing straight ahead speed. If you try to simply drive forward from the wide stance, your first step will actually end up being slightly diagonal and take you off the track of your target (in this case, the tennis ball). By using this very quick plyo step, you'll be in a much better position from which to generate speed. It may seem somewhat counterintuitive to take a step back before forward movement, but it's really all about re-positioning yourself and taking advantage of your bodies natural ability to react. Check out the accompanying video to see the drill in action: Try 2 sets of 6-8 reps of each position: sprinter's stance right foot lead, sprinter's stance left foot lead, and ready position with a plyo step (alternating which foot steps back each time). And be sure to keep an eye out for the next installment of this series, where I'll show you how to improve reaction time when moving both laterally, and backwards.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- DESCRIBING THE craziness within college football recruiting is almost impossible.
The closest I can come is this: Put Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen and Chris Brown in a blender. The almagamation you're left with is recruiting.
The other day, for instance, WVU's basketball coaches apparently believed they had a commitment from Jevon Carter, a 6-foot-2, 165-pound point guard from Proviso East High in Maywood, Ill.
Seemed like a slam dunk. Carter's other published offers came from Kent State, Illinois State, etc. Obviously, though, Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins and others saw something in the kid. He visited Morgantown and apparently committed.
Then came a text to me. "I didn't commit yet," he wrote. Word is, Carter's father stepped in.
WVU seemed near wrapping up its next hoops class. The hope in Morgantown was Carter would join Daxter Miles of Baltimore Dunbar High (who needs an academic qualifying score) and that would be that.
But no. Recruiting isn't that easy. Not in basketball. Not in football.
At the other end of WVU's campus, football recruiting coordinator Ryan Dorchester has been trying his luck at the inexact science.
As it stands, the Mountaineer football team has 13 commitments for its 2014 class. Dorchester is trying to manage that, plus the 2015 class.
"On [Sept. 1] we were able to contact juniors," Dorchester said. "We can write letters, email and use social media, but we still can't call."
I refer back to the goofy amalgamation on that rule. Anyway ...
"It's OK because anymore it's easy to [use] Facebook and say, 'Hey, give me a call.' Calling is kind of antiquated anyway. We have so many different avenues to contact kids.
"It's naive, though, to think you're the only one doing so."
Dorchester said he's concerned some recruits get "worn out" by all the contact. Yet he's placed in a bind.

Tour Master Sonora Air Mesh Jacket Reviews :
Comment: This item shipped the same day I ordered it. I had it the day after it shipped. The size chart was a little misleading so I ended up sending it back for a smaller size. the exchange went well and the replacement fit perfectly. This jacket has more features that I can even describe. I bought it for Summer riding so I have only used the Mesh part of it. I can't even tell I'm wearing a jacket when riding in 100 degree temps. I love this jacket!!!
Tex L Owens
Pickens, SC, USA
Comment: I bought this jacket and was very surprised with its comfort. Wore in to St. Louis, MO on July 20 and back to Arlington, TX on Aug. 1. Temperature in OK read 105 degrees, got a little hot when stopped but when I was moving I was comfortable. Only down side was that the website does not offer a timeline for delivery on the free shipping, mine came in 5 days after ordering - including the weekend.
Arlington, TX
Comment: After goin' down a couple of times over the years, I'm not quite as casual about hittin' the road with any skin showin'. I also want to be SEEN big time, so I ordered the high-visibility yellow tourmaster Sonora Air. It's beautifully designed, well made, and comes with 2 removable liners. One quilted, and one waterproof, that zip easily in and out of the mesh outer shell. How cool is that? 3 jackets in one. It's all I'll ever need. - It's been really hot around the Midwest so far this summer, but 90 plus temperatures are easy to handle in this jacket and it feels good to be armored up even when it's hot. It's a great fit, and I really like the overlong arms.This Tourmaster Rocks! note: Pay attention to the size chart. I normally wear an XL anything; in this jacket their L is just perfect.
Bill Nielsen
New Lenox, IL
Comment: Excellant coat for the $ hard to find anything like it in Canada. Only bad thing is the shipping and customs almost as much as the coat. Ordered 2 coats.
Wayne Griffith
Comment: Fantastic jacket for hot or cold. Using the mesh shell with quilted lining I can go from low 40's AM to over 80 PM and still be comfortable.
Dennis Roethlisberger
Charlottesville, VA
Comment: Live in the desert and we can have a thirty degree spread in temperqture in just a few hours. This jacket is very versatile; perfect for this climate. Well made and fits great. Everyone who sees it comments on good it looks.
Bakersfield, Kahlyfornia
Comment: The jacket is high quality, but the shoulders look ridiculously wide once you put the jacket on. I had read tons of reviews and am still surprised this was never mentioned.
Comment: I am about 6' 2' and rather long arms. I bought the large tall and it fits great. Comfortable jacket in the heat, but it has liners for moisture and warmth. It stays cool enough for June in Texas, we will see what July brings.
Greg Howard
Sweetwater, Tx
Comment: Anything I can put on a riding jacket and the Mrs compliments how it good it looks on me and is pleased from a safety aspect is a winner in my book. As usual, great service from Jafrum!
Dumfries, VA
Comment: I just purchased this jacket which is the light weight version of my other TourMaster Jacket. It is excellent, very lightweight, very breathable, well protected, comfortable and loaded with great features like the water proof and insulated liners. I live and ride in Sedona area, so a cooler jacket was necessary, but I didnt want to give up protection. This great jacket ticks all the boxes!
Sedona, AZ
These are a few jackets that I've found to be packed with quality and features, but aren't going to break the bank; a Bang for Your Buck Buying Guide if you will. The first jacket I want to show you is what I like to call a kitchen sink jacket. The Tour Master Sonora Air is a three quarter length, three layer, all season bargain that has every feature you could want other than a kitchen sink. It's like an intake Air on steroids. This mesh shelled jacket comes in a multitude of sizes including talls, and three color ways including all black, this gunmetal and black, and a high viz yellow version. The closure features a lightweight yet heavy duty nylon two way zipper with a hook and loop retainer, and the collar has a ridge of soft fabric around the edge to eliminate irritation. There are four pockets on the front including two on the sternum and two down near the waist. The jacket is highly adjustable with hook and loop straps at the waist and snap style stretchy adjusters on the sleeves. There is high viz piping running down the edges on the front with more reflective piping and panels on the sleeves and across the back. The Sonora is equipped with CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows with a foam pad in the back… Unzipping the jacket exposes the real value. The mesh shell of the Sonora hides a removable waterproof liner and a removable quilted thermal liner inside the waterproof one. Both liners are equipped with pockets so you have ample storage capacity no matter which liner or liners you are using. The two liners have the same zipper dimensions so you can use the shell with either liner, making this one of the most versatile jackets you can buy. The next jacket in our Bang for The Buck Lineup is the Scorpion Tornado. The Tornado is actually no longer a part of Scorpion's current lineup. We like this jacket so much that when we found out Scorpion was discontinuing it, we bought as many as we could. We have them in good supply and we're passing the savings on to you. The tornado is available in sizes small thru 2x with accent colors of white, blue, and red. The shell of the Tornado is constructed using a 600 denier water resistant nylon with ballistic polyester panels in the shoulders and arms. The main closure features a lightweight nylon zipper with an ergonomic pull tab. Adjustability is plentiful and can be found in the form of these hook and loop adjusters at the waist and on the sleeves. The front features two zippered vents to keep you cool and two hand warmer pockets for added storage. The back of the jacket features two more zippered vents for drawing hot air out of the jacket as well as high vis panels in the shoulders and piping across the back. Unzipping the jacket reveals a full sleeve quilted thermal liner with a moisture absorbent panel in the pack and a slit for accessing the interior pocket of the shell. Don't forget to check the product listing for the price on this one. You will not be disappointed. Ok… now let's take a look at the MJ1563 Textile jacket. This is a great lightweight jacket with the fit and features motorcyclists need, for about the price of a licensed tshirt from your favorite professional sports team. The 1563 is made of a heavy duty water resistant nylon material and comes in either this black with the high vis paneling or an all-black version with high viz piping. This jacket does not have armor in the shoulders or elbows, so it is going to fit like a regular casual jacket. Ventilation is key with textiles and the 1563 has vents everywhere. There are two vents on the chest, two on the biceps, and two on the back. The vents have mesh inserts to keep the bugs out and zippers to close them off entirely. Opening the jacket reveals a hidden pocket and the removable full sleeve quilted thermal liner. Removing the thermal liner exposes a fixed mesh liner that promotes airflow and mobility. The next jacket I want you to see is another model from Tour Master called the Transition 3. This ¾ length jacket is highly functional like the Sonora we just looked at but is equipped with a 600 denier nylon and 1680 denier ballistic polyester shell as opposed to the mesh, making it much more abrasion resistant in a crash. This jacket is available in sizes xs – 3xlt, and seven handsome color ways including black, blue, high vis yellow, red, silver, wine, and yellow. Probably the most notable feature on this Transition Jacket is the Pipeline ventilation system with waterproof zippers. On warmer days, you can unfasten this cover flap and unzip the vent to keep you cool. You can hold the vent open for extra airflow by adjusting this snap style adjuster. Speaking of adjustment, this jacket has adjustability galore in the form of these stretchy, button down straps on the arms, hook and loop straps at the waist, and hook and loop tabs with reflective panels at the bottom edge. The vents on the chest feature the same waterproof zippers and there are reflective stripes, piping, and Phoslite panels covering pretty much the entire jacket. The back of the jacket features a highly reflective Tourmaster logo and a full width zippered exhaust vent. Unzipping the Transition 3 reveals the full sleeve quilted liner with pockets and an additional zippered pocket in the shell. This really is a go anywhere, do anything model. Check out the listing for the low price. We have a couple more for you today. Next is one of my personal favorite bangs for the buck. This is the River Road Laughlin Textile Jacket. Many motorcycle apparel companies are making jackets that look more like casual apparel rather than something that came straight from the racetrack or clubhouse. This Laughlin is a great example. This jacket is ideal for all seasons but it is not waterproof. The soft polynylon material is water resistant but the zippers aren't so you will get a little wet in steady rain, a situation easily remedied with some raingear. The main closure features an all metal zipper that runs all the way up the snap down collar, and a pull tab retainer strap. The top zippered pockets double as vents and feature these stretchy tabs to keep the zippers quiet. There are four additional pockets on the exterior including two snap down breast pockets and two hand warmer pockets. Adjustable staps are are located at the waist and on the cuffs of the sleeves. There is charcoal colored high vis piping along the shoulders and across the back where you can see two additional vents for extracting hot air during warmer rides. The Laughlin features CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows and a foam back pad. Inside the jacket is a removable, waterproof, quilted thermal liner that is flanked by a hidden pocket. There are additional pockets in the liner itself that are duplicated on the shell for use when the liner is removed. This jacket looks great. This one is definitely going into my personal collection. Finally, I wanted to show you something in leather. Most riders don't associate leather with low price, but at Jafrum we have an entire collection of high quality leather jackets and chaps for about the price of a hooded sweatshirt from the mall. This Detour 8002 premium leather jacket is one of my favorites. This jacket comes in either brown or black and is available in sizes M – 5X. The main closure is equipped with a heavy duty metal zipper and a Euro style collar. The front has two low profile vents above two hand warmer pockets and high vis piping across the chest. There is CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows that is well hidden by the cut of the jacket. On the back, you can see the full width zippered exhaust vent that is trimmed with high vis piping. The shoulders have expansion panels that dramatically improve mobility and there is a zippered panel for attaching a pair of pants to make a complete suit. Inside the 8002 is a removable, quilted thermal liner that is flanked on either side by a snap pocket.

Stacey Q (born Stacey Lynn Swain; born November 30, 1958) is an American pop singer, dancer and actress. She is best known for her 1986 hit single "Two of Hearts".
Early life[edit]
Stacey Swain was born on November 30, 1958 in Fullerton, California.[1][2][3] She is the youngest of three children.[4] Her mother, Joyce Swain, was a dog breeder whose Cardigan Welsh Corgis have appeared in various Hollywood films and television series.[5] Swain once stated in a 1989 interview that she had asked for dance lessons as early as age three, but her mother "made me wait until I was five".[6] By 1963, Swain was studying classical ballet and aspired to become a ballerina. In 1969, at age ten, Swain became the youngest member of the Dance Theater of Orange County, a local company that performed at benefit shows in Anaheim.[5][7] She spent a total of eleven years studying ballet and flamenco dancing.[4]
In 1970 Swain became an entertainer at Disneyland while completing dance training at the Wilshire Theater of Arts in Los Angeles.[1] For three years, Swain participated in the Fantasy on Parade, an annual event scheduled every Christmas at the theme park. She performed in costume as the "Dutch Puppet", a name she used as a publishing alias during her early recording career.[1][5] After graduating from Anaheim High School in 1976, Swain auditioned for and won a position in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, where she performed her first year as a showgirl and her second year as an elephant rider.[1][4] Her first singing project began on Los Angeles radio, where she would introduce and announce programs impersonating members of The Go-Go's.[5]
Swain was introduced to the recording industry by her then-boyfriend, a local musician.[3] Her recording career began in 1981, when she met producer, future manager and longtime collaborator Jon St. James.[4][8] St. James had also been a "sound-alike" announcer for Los Angeles radio and was proprietor of Fullerton's Casbah Recording Studio, which had hosted Berlin and Social Distortion.[8]
" | Jon was a big fan of synth bands like Kraftwerk and M; when he met Stacey Swain in 1981, he knew right away that this impossibly stylish former Ringling Bros. elephant girl and veteran of the Disney Main Street parade possessed star qualities perfectly compatible with electronic music, a genre Stacey also adored. She was enamored with the obscure Japanese band The Plastics and The B-52's, and simply could not get over David Bowie. As a student of style, Swain could literally turn rags into a fashion statement. On one occasion she went to the renaissance fair in Agoura dressed simply in two large pieces of soft leather she bought from a shop in Anaheim.[8] | " |
In 1981 Swain and St. James formed the synthpop outfit Q[4][9] composed of St. James on guitars, Dan Van Patten and John Van Tongeren on vocoder and synthesizer, and Swain as assistant producer. When the band was recording basic tracks for The Q EP, St. James realized someone was needed to provide vocals for the first track, "Sushi." Swain, who had previously recorded demos at St. James's studio, was asked to sing the lyrics, and her vocals were featured on the final record.[6][9] Swain became the band's lead singer based on that performance, even though she still considers herself a dancer rather than a singer.[10]
Although The Q EP received virtually no airplay outside of college radio, that was successful enough for St. James and Swain to continue on other projects.[4][8] In 1982, Q reformed with two additional members, drummer Karl Moet and synth player Rich West. After the reformation, they were forced to change the name of Q because of copyright problems (famed producer Quincy Jones reportedly had "established use of the 'Q' moniker").[8] Swain explained many years later in a 2006 radio interview that the band was renamed SSQ after Jon St. James "was fishing in a lake 'no bigger than a bathtub' and made a joke that the boat was the 'S.S. Q,'" referring to the current band Q. St. James had another reason for the name: "SS" stood for "Stacey Swain", who had become the most recognized member of the band's limited success.[9]
SSQ first released their debut album Playback in 1983 under Enigma Records.[4] The video for the "Synthicide" single received some small airplay and brought some greater notice for the five-member band. Skip Hahn officially replaced John Van Tongeren just before the release of Playback.
Solo career[edit]
In 1985 Swain signed a recording contract with On the Spot Records, an independent label. Her first solo single, "Shy Girl", was released the same year, while her first solo album, Stacey Q, was distributed in cassette format to limited release (the album contained an early version of "Two of Hearts", which originated with another artist, Sue Gatlin).[9] As a solo artist, Swain adopted the name "Stacey Q" in reference to the original Q project.
" | In 1981, Q (the original project) was Jon, Dan and myself hence Jon Q, Dan Q and Stacey Q. Q, the original name of the project, references James Bond and the scientist responsible for all his high-tech gadgets.[10] | " |
"Shy Girl" and other singles collectively sold several thousands of copies, not staggering but enough to attract the attention of major record labels. Major label Atlantic Records offered Stacey Q a record deal in 1986 as a solo artist and she signed, with Jon St. James as manager, and the other members of SSQ as backup musicians. Better Than Heaven, her debut record for Atlantic, was recorded in three weeks, with tracks co-written by Berlin ("Better Than Heaven"), Jon Anderson of Yes ("He Doesn't Understand") and Willie Wilcox of Utopia ("We Connect").[4]
"Two of Hearts" and Better Than Heaven[edit]
Swain's most successful stint as a recording was with this Atlantic Records debut album, which would spawn one top five hit and another modest top 40 hit. "Two of Hearts", the first single off the album, became a success, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2][4] The song also hit the top 10 or top 20 in several other countries. The follow-up single, "We Connect", similar in sound to "Two of Hearts", was released in 1987, and reached the US top 40.[7]
"Two of Hearts" received heavy radio airplay during the later half of 1986, and the music video for the single received hefty airplay on MTV. By the end of the year, Stacey Q had performed on several talk shows and appeared as a panel member on The Gong Show and The New Hollywood Squares.[4] The album Better Than Heaven hit No. 59 on the US album chart and eventually obtained gold status. At the height of the success of "Two of Hearts", she was approached by "Weird Al" Yankovic for permission to record a parody single, "Two Pop-Tarts".[2] The parody, however, was never released.
" | Royalties at the record company level were held up because of the 'Two of Hearts' songwriters, so we nicely advised our friend Al, 'Don't bother'.[10] | " |
Following the success of the single, Stacey Q embarked on a US and European club tour.[1]
The Facts of Life[edit]
Later that same year, Stacey Q auditioned and won an acting role on the NBC sitcom The Facts of Life.[4] Her first appearance on the sitcom was in an eighth season, fifth episode entitled "Off-Broadway Baby" premiered on Saturday November 1, 1986, where she performed "Two of Hearts" in character. In the episode, her character Cinnamon was an aspiring singer competing for the same role as Tootie in a Broadway musical. Stacey Q's second and final appearance on the show was in an eighth season, fifteenth episode entitled "A Star Is Torn" premiered on Saturday January 31, 1987, where she performed "We Connect", again as Cinnamon. That episode also featured George Burnett, a recurring character played by a young and then-unknown George Clooney.[2][7] By this second of two episodes, Cinnamon and George start dating, and George announces his decision to become a roadie for Cinnamon's concert tour.[2] The ending was written to explain Clooney's departure from the series.[2]
Hard Machine[edit]
Stacey Q released her second album, Hard Machine, in 1988. The artist changed her image for Hard Machine, dying her hair from blond to red (she is a natural brunette)[1] and adopting a punk rock-influenced manner of dress. Hard Machine also employed other producers besides Jon St. James, resulting in a different musical direction. Hard Machine, however, was not nearly as successful as its predecessor, spawing no top 40 hits. The single "Don't Make A Fool Of Yourself" became a minor hit, peaking at No. 66 on the US Hot 100 (a remixed version by Shep Pettibone was a top five hit on the Hot Dance Chart). "Don't Make A Fool Of Yourself" was featured in an episode of Full House where Stacey Q briefly appeared as herself ("D.J. Tanner's Day Off"). "The River" and "Another Chance" were featured in the cult action film One Man Force, which Stacey Q had a special appearance in.[1][2]
Nights Like This[edit]
Nights Like This, Stacey Q's third and final album by Atlantic Records, was released in 1989. The artist returned to dying her hair blond. Nights Like This was recorded with backing vocals by The Weather Girls, and the album's second single, "Heartbeat", featured backing vocals by Timothy B. Schmit of The Eagles. Nights Like This experimented instrumentally, including songs using Kawai keyboards.[3] The members of SSQ had largely stopped working with Swain after the release of Hard Machine.
Stacey Q's second and third album Hard Machine and Nights Like This, respectively, did not outperform or even match the one major hit single that her debut album produced. As such, Atlantic did not renew her contract. After the release of Nights Like This, Stacey Q began another national tour performing at clubs across the United States.[1] She continued to do some acting, appearing in an episode of the television series Mama's Family where she played a member of an all-girl band called "The Bonecrushers".
Post-1980s solo career[edit]
One-hit wonder status[edit]
By 1990, Stacey Q and Atlantic Records had parted ways, two years following the departure of her SSQ bandmates. In 1993, her first single of the new decade, "Too Hot For Love", was released by independent label Thump Records. The single was structured toward an early-1990s dance sound and featured sexually suggestive lyrics, representing another change in direction for the artist.
Thump Records gathered material from Stacey Q's debut Atlantic Records album, as well as material from her previous groups, and in 1995 released the album Stacey Q's Greatest Hits. The album is as close as a definitive collection from Swain's career as one can get since it also contained tracks from the groups Q and SSQ that had never been released on compact disc (including "The Model", which was recorded for the soundtrack of the 1986 film Crystal Heart).[1][2] Most of the tracks were either slightly remixed or re-edited entirely from their original versions in an attempt to modernize them,[4] and there are no songs included from her other two solo albums Hard Machine and Nights Like This.
Conversion to Buddhism[edit]
After deciding on a different direction for her future releases, Swain traveled to Tibet, where she was introduced to the monastic dance and song of the Far East.[4] For a time she lived in Nepal, where she studied at monasteries with Buddhist lamas and was trained in the ancient art of cham dance.[7] Swain's experience abroad resulted in the 1997 album Boomerang, a reflection of her conversion to Buddhism and her first new album in almost a decade. Though Boomerang didn't prove to be the comeback album some fans had hoped for, the follow-up single "Tenderness", a Janis Ian cover, hit No. 5 on the Jamaican charts.[7]
Career to present[edit]
In the years following the release of Boomerang, Swain became a vocalist on records by various house musicians in the United States and Europe. She returned to acting with an appearance in the gay-themed art film Citizens of Perpetual Indulgence[2][11] and a "special non-sexual appearance" in the gay porn film Playing the Odds.[2] She later appeared with director Geoffrey Karen Dior on the compilation album Porn to Rock and Dior's 2001 album S E X,[3] and also recorded an unreleased remix album including new versions of "Two of Hearts" and songs from Boomerang.[11] In 2000 she returned to theater in "The Life of Padmasambhava", a musical dramatization of one of the most revered characters in Buddhism, produced by the San Francisco-based Namsay Dorje Theater Company.[7] Swain played the lead female character, Yeshe Tsogyal, in a multicultural cast of actors and musicians.
In 2002 Swain appeared on the short-lived VH1 version of Never Mind the Buzzcocks as a guest star on the show's "Identity Parade" round. Her vocals were featured on "Hear The Feeling", a 2003 single by DJ Simply Jeff (credited as "Divine Frequency featuring Stacey Q") used for the soundtrack of a documentary on raves.[7] In 2004 Swain became a voice actor by providing the voice of "Karin Kikuhara" on the English-language version of Stratos 4, a Japanese anime series.[7] Later she appeared as one of the female singers on the debut album of the Echo Junkies, a duo formed in 2004 by Jon St. James and Skip Hahn.[7]
"Two of Hearts" has been featured on the soundtracks of three recent motion pictures: Little Nicky, Party Monster and the Andy Samberg comedy Hot Rod.[1][2]
In 2008 Swain provided guest vocals on Liquid, the debut album of the Australian-American rock duo Hydra Productions. The album featured appearances by other dance-pop artists of the 1980s, including Tiffany and Gioia Bruno of Exposé. In November of that year she performed "Two of Hearts" on CBS's The Early Show as part of the show's 1980s flashback segment.
Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" appeared as the "Lipsynch for Your Life" elimination, between Morgan McMichaels and Sonique, challenge on the February 22, 2010 episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. She appeared as a student on the second season finale of RuPaul's Drag U on August 29, 2011.

Back to Graphic Version | SAMHSA News Home
A special issue of the Journal of Primary Prevention highlights innovative strategies to prevent and end homelessness in high-risk groups. (See SAMHSA News online, September/October 2007.) Visitors can download articles for free, said Dr. Stone, noting that everything on the site is in the public domain.
A wide range of materials are available within topics. The outreach topic, for example, features one provider's thoughts on why it's important to reach out to potential clients, tips on how to do outreach, and a link to the National Health Care for the Homeless Council's outreach curriculum.
The site also features a free Webcast series. Topics include recovery-oriented services for people experiencing homelessness as well as Assertive Community Treatment teams.
Information will go up on the site quickly, stressed Dr. Stone, noting the streamlined process for posting material.
If there's a conference, the site can put up notes almost as soon as it happens. "People won't necessarily have to attend conferences to get firsthand information, which will save providers some money," Dr. Stone explained. "It also will cut the time between research and practice by getting evidence-based practices out into the field as soon as possible."
The "health" topic area includes resources devoted to "self-care." Articles are featured on how and why providers should take care of themselves. In addition, a self-care assessment tool and tips for supervisors are included. The goal is not only to help providers do their jobs, but also to encourage them to lead healthier, more balanced lives, so they can stay in their jobs longer.
Back to Top
The HRC Web site will bring together all of the Federal Government's homelessness-related materials in one place.
Say you're a provider interested in the 10-year plans to end homelessness that the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness encourages every municipality to have. The HRC site could provide access to a step-by-step guide to creating a State Interagency Council on Homelessness.
"Part of our commitment is rapid dissemination of innovations—what's working in the field," said Mary Ellen Hombs, M.C.P., the council's deputy director and a member of the HRC Advisory Steering Committee.
Partner organizations can post materials on the site. Partners also can create their own pages on the site. "Adding their own logos will help to maintain their 'brand' on the overall site," said Dr. Stone.
One of the first such "partner" pages will belong to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The page offers a sample of HUD's information, explained Julie Hovden, a homelessness specialist at HUD.
With a click of a mouse, users are directed to the HUD site for additional information. As HUD updates the information on its own Web site, the information on its Homelessness Resource Center page will be automatically updated, too.
"There's no wrong door," Ms. Hovden said. "We just want to make sure folks can get our information. The HRC Web site can be a portal to many agencies' resources."
For more information about the Homelessness Resource Center and its new online features, visit SAMHSA's Web site at www.homeless.samhsa.gov.

Loew's Colonial Theatre
651 Penn Street,
1 person favorited this theater
The Colonial Theatre was one of Reading's first large theatres built specifically for movies, and opened on April 15, 1917, with "Sleeping Fires". It was operated by Carr & Schad, which had the local franchise for Paramount-Artcraft releases. In September, 1925, the Loew's Inc. circuit took over and ran the Colonial Theatre through its peak years as home for all the major MGM releases, including "Gone With the Wind".
In 1963, Loew's declined to renew its lease when it expired, and Stanley Warner took over for five years. In 1968, some "indies" took over but lasted only one year.
The Colonial Theatre closed in 1969 and was demolished in 1970 to make way for a shopping mall that was never built. A similar fate awaited its rival and near neighbor, the Embassy Theatre.

A Wurlitzer theater organ opus 1310 style "H" was installed in the Colonial Theater in Reading, PA on 4/3/1926. Status: sold.
Nice photo, you can tell that it was an old LOEWS marquee, redone for the new owner.

Looks like they have the Plinius SA-103 in there as the amp. I am currently (no pun intended) listening to this amp for an upcoming review.
Fine Craftsmanship
Judging by my complete lack of notes on the room occupied by Silver Circle Audio, Sutherland Engineering, and Tyler Acousticsa VPI Scoutmaster turntable was spinning tunes, with amplification from Plinius driving the speakersI would have to say that I didn't do much listening in here. I mean, I heard music, but I was too busy enjoying my conversation with Silver Circle's David Stanard, and I was too impressed by the appearance of the gear. From the cabinetry of the Tyler Acoustics Decade D1 loudspeakers to the hefty AC cords coming from the Silver Circle Pure Power One 5.0's rear panel to the exposed circuitry of the Sutherland Engineering 20/20 phono preamp (review to come from Brian Damkroger), to the equipment rackhandmade by Stanard in one afternooneverything was handsome and personal and showed obvious fine craftsmanship.
Submitted by David Stanard on October 22, 2010 - 6:00pm.
If I could add a recommendation for your review: add the Furutech fuses on the rails - four 10-amp. Audible difference. This amp is now mine, along with the Tautoro preamp. Just wonderful sound: detailed, but lush. The SB-301 was also just remarkable- opened a lot of eyes around here!

Attorney Kate Baker Alleges Boss Bullied Her Into Staying Single, Childless
By her own assessment, Kate Baker was a competent attorney who also wanted a personal life. But her boss, Chris Lingard allegedly saw things differently, berating Baker and her work, and telling her not to have a relationship or children.
The "bullying" that she experienced at the Follett Stock law firm, Baker, 33, told an employment tribunal in Exeter, England, this week, caused her to take time off from work after she became sick from the stress, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Baker (shown above) was eventually fired, for reasons that she alleges were related to her gender and her desire to date. Baker began working as a lawyer in 2004, earning 45,000 pounds a year (about $72,000 if exchanged today) before her dismissal in 2012.
"In my career I have never been told by a colleague or supervising partner that my work is 's***,' the London newspaper quotes her as saying in a statement provided the court. During that exchange with Lingard, which occurred last May, Baker described the treatment as coming "out of the blue."
She noted that Lingard, the law firm's managing partner, had awarded her a prize the prior December, after she had worked at the firm for just two months -- "and when I was still single."
Even as she was out sick, Baker charged that Lingard, berated her "for 1.5 hours and attempted to dismiss me by email."
More: Survey: Bullies Are Overtaking The Workplace
Baker told the tribunal that she was made aware several times that Lingard, who is in his 50s, didn't want her to date or have children -- and was even told so by his wife. The tribunal judge read Baker's statement, which said: "Mr. Lingard on many occasions told me that he did not want me in a relationship or to have babies. I have a text message from Mr. Lingard's wife, which says, 'he doesn't want you in a relationship!!!"
The law firm has denied the claims of bullying and harassment.
Baker said that she wasn't the only employee who endured Lingard's wrath. He regularly criticized staff for taking lunch, the manner in which they answered phone calls and for leaving the blinds down, she said.
She also accused the firm of operating "a culture of bullying" and "oppression," and said employees weren't allowed to talk between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., a period they called "golden time."
Baker's claims of sexual harassment, sexual discrimination and unfair dismissal are to get a full hearing at a later date.
In the U.S., 35 percent of workers report that they've been bullied by a colleague. But 40 percent of bullied workers said that they didn't report the incidents.

Date Published | 2008 Mar 1 |
Abstract | Microdeletion and microduplication genetic syndromes are known to be a significant cause of developmental delay and dysmorphology. Utilizing high-resolution chromosome analysis, array CGH and SNP technologies we identified a novel genomic syndrome comprising of an interstitial duplication of approximately 1.61 Mb at the distal end of chromosome 3 band q29. The imbalance was present in five individuals in a three generation family with clinical features including mild to moderate mental retardation and microcephaly. The duplicated segment overlaps with and is the genomic counterpart of the recently described microdeletion of 3q29. Both syndromes are proposed to occur by non-allelic homologous recombination between regions of low copy repeats present around the breakpoints. |

MILLCREEK — Fritz Helland lived on a remote island in his native Norway, with his nearest friend a half hour away by boat.
A gentle and shy man who enjoyed visits from his family and walking his dog, he tended to be reclusive.
"Loneliness doesn't bother him in that sense, but this is unusual," Fritz's son, Jacob, said Monday. "We miss him."
Fritz Helland's family has been in the limbo of the unknown since Friday when they realized that their father and grandfather may not have returned home after taking his customary walk with his beloved miniature doberman pinscher Wednesday. Around 3 p.m. Wednesday, Fritz called one of his two daughters and reported that he was on his way home.
"She waited for him for half an hour," Jacob Helland said. "It should have been five minutes."
The sister routinely takes her father meals. When he didn't return home in a reasonable amount of time after the phone call, she got in her car and drove her father's regular route. Nothing. She tried another road in the area. Still no sign.
"We just don't know anything after that — where he could be," Jacob Helland said.
The 80-year-old man is self-sufficient to the point that he still lived alone. When his daughter didn't find him Wednesday, she wasn't immediately alarmed. It wasn't until Jacob Helland went by the house on Friday and it appeared his father hadn't been home since probably Wednesday that they became worried and called police.
"It's really concerning," Jacob Hellund said. "He takes this walk every day. I think in the back of all of our minds, we worry about a day like that. We wonder if he got lost and we didn't know how bad his memory was. Even then, you'd think a neighbor would see him. It's baffling he could disappear."
Fritz Helland does not have his wallet and it is believed that his phone died Thursday.
More than 1,800 volunteers searched for Fritz Helland Saturday and Sunday, according to Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal. They covered 17 square miles.
"We have been searching the Millcreek area extensively," he said. "We've had a lot of help from officers, from K-9 units, from helicopters and the community of Millcreek that has come out in full force."
Most people who become the focus of an endangered, missing person advisory are found within hours, Hoyal said. The longer Fritz Helland is gone, the more unusual his case becomes.
"It's a very unique circumstance that we're not able to locate him," the lieutenant said. "Our hope was that throughout the process of all those searches, somebody would have found Mr. Helland, but unfortunately not. … We're not ruling out any possibilities."
Jacob Helland said the concern and support of the community has been both moving and uplifting. He is also grateful for the efforts of law enforcement.
"We're doing as well as can be expected," he said of his family. "There's such a mix of feelings. We've got such gratitude and feel so overwhelmed. First, by Sheriff Jim Winder personally being out there walking in the creek bed with us. All of his office, the rest of his officers, the rest of Unified police, the fire department (were there). It was a huge response. Just the personal involvement has been really strong and a blessing to us."
Fritz Helland struggled with the loss of his wife more than a year ago, but his son said he was coping and had not been depressed. The man's short-term memory is "not that good," but Jacob Helland said he thinks his father would have asked for help if he had been desperate.
"I can't imagine he wouldn't say, 'I think I'm lost. I need some help,'" he said. "It's just disturbing. If he was trying to hide from us he couldn't do a better job, but that's not his personality."
