Maybe if there'd been a counselor. Or a psychiatrist.
Or anyone with training and resources to help her through the terrible and sudden loss of her 7-year-old son.
Then maybe Murlene Osburn could have gotten some sleep that first year. And maybe her first marriage wouldn't have fallen apart.
Maybe she wouldn't have wound up in a bad second marriage. Or left the family farm in Montana to come to Nebraska.
If anyone knows firsthand about the dire need for mental health care in rural areas and the shortage of providers, it's Murlene.
And if anyone is now equipped to do something about it, at least in the Sand Hills' Cherry County, it's Murlene.
The 52-year-old cattle rancher is among the latest graduates of a UNMC program that aims to reverse the trend of an aging, shrinking psychiatric workforce in Nebraska.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center launched its psychiatric nursing program in late 2009. The goal was to capture motivated graduate students who could study online and stay put, bringing vital psychiatric care to their communities.
Murlene already had a bachelor's degree in nursing. And she lives in a fairly remote part of Nebraska. Her 3,700-acre cattle ranch is about 14 miles (seven of them dirt) from the nearest Sand Hills town, Wood Lake (population 63).
From there, it's a half-hour drive to her two youngest children's elementary school, 2� hours to the closest Walmart and four to North Platte and Hastings, where Murlene completed hundreds of hours of clinical work to get her nurse practitioner's degree.
The med center got a $1.2 million federal grant to launch the program, which has drawn three dozen students from rural places across the state since it started.
By helping Murlene bump up her nursing degree to the nurse practitioner level, the university is helping address a huge social need.
As of last count in 2010, Nebraska had 161 actively practicing psychiatrists, and half of them were over age 50.
Most of them live and work in Omaha or Lincoln, leaving most other Nebraskans with a long drive to find that kind of expertise. The med center estimates that some 247,000 Nebraska adults have diagnosable mental illnesses and need treatment.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners have less training than psychiatrists, who go to medical school, but enough to prescribe medication and serve as counselors. These specialists now practice in 13 Nebraska counties. In five of the counties, they are the only psychiatric prescribers available.
An ad about the UNMC program three years ago in the Hooker County newspaper caught Murlene's eye.
Skeptical, thinking the earn-a-master's-degree-from-home pitch sounded like a scam, she was still curious, and intrigued enough to call the university two days before the deadline.
She emailed her application and made the long drive to Omaha for a three-hour, face-to-face interview.
Thrilled that she made the cut — 29 applied for 18 spots, and it's gotten more competitive since — Murlene bought computer software to enable her to "show up" virtually for the lecture classes held on the midtown Omaha campus. Which she did after milking her cow. With manure on her boots.
Columnists Michael Kelly, Erin Grace and Matthew Hansen write about people, places and events around Omaha in their new blog, From the Notebook. |
Murlene could raise her hand by logging into a computer program and typing in real-time questions or comments. She wrote papers on her own time.
Clinicals, in which she had actual contact with patients, were another story. The two-year program required 540 hours, or the equivalent of 13� full-time weeks, of clinicals.
Murlene would leave her house at 3 in the morning on a Monday, drive to North Platte or Hastings for hospital and clinic visits, book motels for two nights and be home by Wednesday evening.
She did this while juggling a hectic home life: two elementary-school-age children, an adult daughter and her child who had moved back home, a second divorce. But when an adult son was diagnosed with brain cancer, she had to scale back. She postponed a class. She got two incompletes but was allowed to turn in her work later to get the grades.
The strain nearly caused Murlene to drop out of school halfway through.
She thought of her kids, who needed her. Of her cows, who needed tending.
Then Murlene thought of her son Ben, who died in 1997 at the age of 7, after being struck by a backhoe on the family's Montana sugar beet farm. She thought of the deep depression she fell into afterward.
"I felt like I slept all the time after Ben died," she said, "yet again felt like I needed to sleep and could not. I had trouble sleeping and would jar awake, sobbing. My chest hurt so bad when I lay in bed — the physical pain of grief was so shocking to me. It literally hurt to breathe."
Eight months later, she went to see her physician about a urinary tract infection, sores all over her body and weight loss. Her doctor said her immune system was breaking down and prescribed an antibiotic. And an antidepressant.
The Prozac helped her sleep. But it didn't remove the depression, and it felt like a crutch that a tough farm woman shouldn't need. So she quit taking it and fell deeper into depression.
In hindsight, Murlene says, she wishes she would have also had therapy.
The grief over her son's tragic death upended her first marriage.
"It devastated us," she said. "If we would have gotten the help we needed ... . We were best friends."
So she thought of all that.
Murlene also thought of two women her age who had died recently. One was a Wyoming friend, who killed herself.
The other was a neighbor, who died after years of struggling with what Murlene thinks was undiagnosed schizophrenia.
"There was no option of giving up," Murlene said of her studies. "Did I cry a lot? Yes."
Family, friends and neighbors, especially Danny, a widower, pitched in to cover the ranch and child-care duties so she could study and get her clinical hours.
"You will land on your feet," Danny told her. "Failure is not an option. And we will not let you fail."
In August, Danny proposed. In December the couple married, and Murlene graduated.
She donned her cap and gown in the basement of Joslyn Art Museum alongside classmates young enough to be her children. Two hospitals were bidding for her, and other job options beckoned.
She had earned a perfect grade-point average and was named by UNMC "outstanding graduate."
"I'm so excited, I'm really happy," she said. "I just want to impart hope."

Candidly Speaking: Netanyahu speaks for Israelis
10/03/2012 23:35
With threats confronting Israel on so many levels, it is not surprising that most Israelis united in support of their prime minister.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's skilled oratory last week at the UN climaxed his highly successful global campaign to convince the Western world that a nuclear Iran controlled by messianic mullahs would not merely impact Israel but would have catastrophic consequences for the entire civilized world.
It was largely due to his unremitting warnings and threats of unilateral preemptive action, that the US and Europe belatedly imposed sanctions and began paying lip service to utilizing military force as a last resort should sanctions fail to impact.
Unfortunately in the midst of this, a number of disgruntled former Israeli intelligence chiefs began publicly casting doubt about Israel's capacity to confront Iran alone. Whether they were right or wrong cannot be confirmed. But their irresponsible outbursts did reassure the Iranians that Netanyahu was bluffing and discouraged the US from adopting a tougher stand.
Regrettably, US President Barack Obama's track record of resorting to decisive military action is dismal and despite his assurances that the US would never enable the Iranians to attain a nuclear military status, it is hard to visualize this administration undertaking decisive military action on its own initiative.
Netanyahu therefore pleaded with Obama to draw red lines in relation to Iranian nuclear development, which when crossed would either enable Israel to act or result in the United States itself making a military move.
Obama cynically dismissed Netanyahu's pleas as "noise" which he pledged to block out. His simultaneous reference to Israel merely being "one of our leading allies in the region" signaled that he no longer felt obliged to pursue his "charm offensive" towards the Jews in relation to Israel. That was further confirmed when he snubbed Netanyahu by refusing to meet him in the course of his visit to the US, despite finding time to appear on TV talk shows.
With the threats currently confronting Israel on so many levels, it is not surprising that most Israelis united in support of their prime minister.
However this did not extend to the preposterous responses emanating from some opposition leaders or the left-wing Israeli media.
launched a loathsome campaign accusing Netanyahu of exploiting the Iranian threat as a means of promoting the presidential candidacy of his "friend" Romney This encouraged the pathetic leader of Kadima, Shaul Mofaz, to make one of the most irresponsible outbursts ever made by an Israeli opposition leader. In the Knesset he asked: "Prime Minister, tell me who is our biggest enemy, the US or Iran? Who do you want replaced Ahmadinejad or Obama?" Needless to say these pathetic attacks were quoted by the increasingly hostile liberal American media as well as left-wing American Jews who began chanting their mantras about "Bibi interfering in domestic US politics."
One leading Jewish-American commentator made the absurd statement: "I've never seen an Israeli PM who has so mismanaged Israel-US relations." This even emboldened a number of Democratic congressman to voice their condemnation of Netanyahu.
UNDOUBTEDLY, NETANYAHU would prefer Romney, who consistently expresses support for Israel, to become president rather than Obama, who personally loathes him and exhibits little positive chemistry towards Israel.
But the reality is that Netanyahu has assiduously avoided engaging in the US presidential elections, and on occasion, even lavishly praised Obama. It is surely outrageous to accuse the prime minister of Israel of meddling in US domestic politics because he relates to the need to impose red lines on an issue that has genuine existential implications for his country.
The United Nations reflects the prevailing global malaise. Last Monday, Ahmadinejad bizarrely attended a UN summit on "the rule of law" where he accused Israel of being a "fake regime" which "will be eliminated."
Two days later, on Yom Kippur, representatives of all UN nations – except the US and Canada – listened respectfully while the genocidal Holocaust denier, a brutal dictator, preached morality to them.
Obama's subsequent address dealt primarily with the Muslim riots. Much of it condemned the crude anti- Islamic film, for which the US was never responsible.
Yet he only made passing mention of the state sanctioned hate propaganda against Christians and Jews which dominates the Islamic world.
In relation to Iran, despite failed US diplomacy, he not only omitted any reference to red lines but even failed to state – as he had in the past – that all options were open if the Iranians continued their drive towards nuclearization.
The following day, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of criminal activity and threatened a new intifada unless Israelis capitulated to his demands. This followed his earlier meeting with Alan Dershowitz and a few other naive Jews to whom Abbas had pledged he would take a more moderate line towards Israel.
He was followed by Netanyahu, who bent over backwards in his UN address to be bipartisan, thanking Obama, ignoring his snubs and playing down any tension between them. He claimed that the objective of both Israel and America was to act as a barrier against "the forces of medievalism which seek a world in which death rather than life is glorified." He warned of the dangers of a "nuclear-armed al-Qaida" and predicted that "red lines" would prevent rather than lead to war.
He visually displayed a red line on the sketch of a bomb with a fuse to illustrate Iran's progress in amassing sufficient enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb which he predicted would be achieved by the summer of 2013. The sketch was denigrated as childish by churlish Israeli politicians and much of the liberal media but proved to be extraordinarily effective and received wide exposure.
WE FACE difficult times. Despite reassuring statements made by both parties, there is no denying that the USIsrael relationship is exceedingly fragile. There is a mutual lack of confidence between Obama and Netanyahu. All the White House seeks from Israel are further concessions being extended to the Palestinians.
In the meantime, while the Middle East region is undergoing profound upheavals, the Iranians are enjoying the spectacle of "Big Satan" and "Little Satan" sparring with one another as they progress relentlessly towards their nuclear objective.
Understandably, many Israelis are deeply concerned with the prospect of Obama being reelected and seeking to impose indefensible 1949 armistice lines as his first step to implementing Middle East peace.
To be an Israeli leader is a thankless task. Our most important objective must now be to set aside minor differences and on this occasion unite in support of our government and Netanyahu.
There is an enormous reservoir of goodwill to Israel among Americans at the grass roots level. If they see that our prime minister speaks on behalf of the overwhelming majority of his citizens on this issue, they will realize that the allegations against him meddling in US domestic politics are simply untrue.
It will also encourage them to pursue their own interests by exerting public pressure on their politicians to tighten the screws and take whatever measures necessary to forestall the global Iranian nuclear threat.

The Advaitic meaning of Sita mata?

Sita, The mind Rama, the pure Self, cannot enter into any active participation in life unless wedded to the mind. Sita (the mind) is ready. She is not born to Janaka by wedlock. While ploughing the land, he finds Sita. If a girl is got every time the land is ploughed, agriculture would have ceased long ago! The mind appeared from the most inappropriate place ever. It is absurd to enquire deep into this. Later you find that the same Sita , disappears into Mother Earth. From Mother Earth she came, to Mother Earth she went back. From where mind comes, and where it disappears during samadhi, nobody can tell. This is Maya. Wedded to the mind when Rama returns, he finds that he cannot live in Ayodhya. For, once the mind has come, you start expressing through it. You have to enter the forest of life, self-exiled as it were. Some cause or other must emerge as one enters the forest of existence. So long as Sita was looking up to Rama, living in Rama, for Rama, by Rama, she never found any diffe

Rockin' with 'toshan
Deborah Parker Wong
Combine 19 of the nation's most inspired bartenders, three exacting judges and Auchentoshan Three Wood Whisky with three rounds of heated mixing. Serve up with a two-week trip to London for a stint with Tony Conigliaro at his famed 69 Colebrooke Row bar and Drinks Factory and watch the ice fly.
Competition winner Charles Joly of Chicago's Drawing Room.
Seventeen finalists gave their undivided attention to Charles Joly of The Drawing Room in Chicago and Clinton Terry from PX in Alexandria, VA, who went head to head in Las Vegas in the final oratory bout of a demanding three-round competition to determine who would be the man to make the Auchentoshan Switch. Joly prevailed with an eloquent portrait of the Gallic origins, styles and colloquial jargon associated with Scotch whisky and the production methods used in crafting Auchentoshan Three Wood.
"We're in the second Golden Age of cocktail culture, and we're lucky enough to be conscious of it," said Joly during an after party held in celebration of his win at the sleek Cosmopolitan hotel.
"Competitions of this caliber forward our craft," continued Joly who is a career bartender and serves as the Vice President of the Illinois chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild. "As mentors and educators, it's essential that we live in the moment without losing sight of customer service which is our first priority as professionals."
This wickedly elaborate competition was nine months in the planning and began with a pre-qualifying round that required contestants to make video entries of them selves crafting lemonade and an Old Fashioned with Auchentoshan Three Wood. Twenty contestants, some of whom were first-time competitors, were chosen from cities around the U.S. and flown to Las Vegas to compete. The House of Blues at Mandalay Bay provided a theatrical backdrop for what qualified as no less than a mixology marathon. First-round cocktails demonstrated difficult levels of execution and showcased hand-crafted ingredients that included barrel-aged coffee, fresh pumpkin juice and Nicaraguan-cigar tea.
When the five semi-finalists set to work against the clock using two of several mystery ingredients, which included fresh pears, nutmeg, whole cinnamon stick, a variety of citrus and vermouths, the energy in the room rose to a fevered pitch. The rigorous requirements at every stage of the event worked to heighten creativity as competitors rose to the challenge and presented their handiwork to the judges.
"Extreme fall flavors such as pumpkin, clove and apple cider were the overriding theme of the competition," said judge Camper English. Many of the first-round contestants, including Joly, built cocktails using sherry to mirror the rich flavors of Auchentoshan Three Wood, Scotland's only triple-distilled triple malt which is matured in three different casks—American bourbon, Spanish oloroso sherry and lastly in Pedro Ximénez sherry. "Sherry was well complemented by citrus in several tiki-, Mojito- and up-style cocktails to a surprising and successful effect," observed English.
The judges with the winner (left to right): David Clelland, international Auchentoshan whisky specialist; winner Charles Joly of The Drawing Room in Chicago; Andrew Pollard, VP, United States Bartender's Guild Las Vegas Chapter; and Camper English, winner of Tales of the Cocktail 2011 "Best Cocktail Writing" award.
The U.S. leg of the competition was sponsored by the United States Bartenders Guild, represented by Andrew Pollard, Vice President of the USBG Las Vegas Chapter, who judged along with master of ceremonies for the evening David Clelland, international Auchentoshan whisky specialist, and English, winner of Tales of the Cocktail 2011 "Best Cocktail Writing" award.
Chapter President Armando Rosario, Director of Mixology and Spirits Education for SW&S, noted that cocktails competitions have come full circle, with a decided emphasis on classic cocktails and elegant garnishes such as Joly's "scotched" cherry. "The industry is now using a culinary approach towards innovative cocktails that may rely on fewer ingredients but requires an even greater level of skill."
As for the making the "Switch," Joly will spend two weeks at the London bar 69 Colebrooke Row and Drinks Factory, while his U.K. counterpart, Martin Ball from Corridor Bar in Manchester, heads for two weeks at New York City's part-theater, part-chemistry lab bar Apotheke. Their time will be spent doing what world-class bartenders do best: visiting local producers, sourcing and creating unique ingredients and, of course, working behind the bar.
It wasn't a chance roll of the dice that propelled Chicago barman Charles Joly to the winner's circle of this heated cocktail competition, but lady luck is certainly smiling on these winning cocktails.
Charles Joly's First Round Cocktail:
The Clydesider
When presenting this cocktail to the judges, Joly noted that a Clydesider is a colloquial term for a working-class person from the towns between Glasgow and Greenock on the River Clyde in Scotland.
1½ oz. Auchentoshan Three Wood
¾ oz. Dry Oloroso Sherry
¾ oz lemon juice
1⁄3 oz. maple syrup
Pedro Ximenez foam
Three Wood whisky–infused Maraschino cherry
Combine Auchentoshan, dry oloroso, lemon juice and maple syrup in a mixing glass. Add ice, shake well and strain into small pilsner glass, leaving about 1½ inches of space at top of glass. Top with Pedro Jiménez foam and garnish with the "scotched" cherry.
Second Round Cocktail:
The Glasgow Patter
Joly named this cocktail after the distinct local dialect spoken in and around Glasgow.
1½ oz. Auchentoshan Three Wood
½ oz. Grand Marnier
¾ oz lemon juice
¼ oz. simple syrup
½ oz. Earl Grey tea
¾ oz. cider
Egg white
Drop of Angostura Bitters
Lemon twist
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Dry shake, without ice, to combine ingredients. Add ice, shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Drop Angostura on top of cocktail and swirl decoratively. Garnish with lemon twist and express the lemon oils over cocktail for aroma.

Three Beautiful Things
Since I posted the news update from Zimbabwe I haven't felt very inspired to write. Every time I come here I feel wordless, but today I realised that life goes on regardless of wars, deaths or natural disasters.. and so should my blog.
Finding a topic to follow on with is hard, so I have decided to keep it simple.
Three beautiful things that I am very grateful for this week..
#1 You lot reading this. Yep, you! :-)
Your caring replies about the situation in Zimbabwe were greatly appreciated. I have no words to say "thank you" big enough. Knowing people still care helps a lot.
#2 Jelly Beans. :-D
I haven't had a decent jelly bean in Northern Scotland in five years, BUT.. this week I found a shop that sells my favourite jelly belly beans. Admittedly it's 50 miles away, so I'm not going to get a regular "fix", but at the moment I am the ecstatic owner of a 100g bag of beans. Cappuccino, coconut, lemon-lime, peach, strawberry parfait.. all my favourite flavours. I could die happy right now.
This week summer finally arrived! We have had sunlight since Wednesday. I have walked outdoors, gardened AND sat outside and toasted myself for three whole days. Today it is a little cloudy, but still sunny enough. I'm going gardening and will not be back here until the rain starts. ;-)

Garden on, Michelle! Enjoy! I used to find it such a theraputic activity, back in the UK. Can't do it here in Oklahoma - too hot (100+ today)too buggy, too dry.
Dig a little for me!
I must try jelly beans one of these days. :-) - 12 August 2007 15:50

Sounds wonderful. I'm nearing the three year mark of being unable to leave the house for any reason - have become that fragile. Blinds always closed because of migraines. The best things in life are definitely the "little" things -

Amel and Paul
Thank heavens for the little things! Paul.. wish I could send you some gentle none-migraine sunshine.
Epi and Holly
Thank you! :-)
bless you! I take that as a compliment. ;-)
Try the fancy flavoured ones. The others are a big sickly sweet, but the fancy flavoured ones are glorious (especially the coffee and cocnut, although the peanut butter and popcorn are a bit weird) - 13 August 2007 23:23

Hi, M, just wanna tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kind words in Vic's blog. I TRULY appreciate it. HUGS for you!!! ;-D When I first started blogging, I never thought it'd be so much like "home". :-))))

Russia Delivers Four MiG-29K Fighters to India in Dec.
Russia Delivers Four MiG-29K Fighters to India in Dec.

- Russia's MiG starts on new batch of carrier fighters for Indian Navy
MOSCOW, December 29 (RIA Novosti) - Russian aircraft maker MiG delivered in December a batch of four MiG-29K/KUB shipborne fighters to the Indian Navy under a contract concluded in 2010, the company said.
With the delivery, MiG "has fulfilled all its obligations for 2012 stipulated in the 2010 contract with the Indian Defense Ministry," the company said in a statement.
In March 2010, Russia and India signed a $1.5-billion contract on the supply of 29 additional MiG-29K Fulcrum-D carrier-based fighter jets to New Delhi.
MiG: between Past and Future_big
Last year Russia fulfilled its 2004 contract with the Indian Defense Ministry, supplying the country with 12 single-seat MiG-29Ks and four two-seat MiG-29KUBs.
The contracts for the jets also stipulate pilot training and aircraft maintenance, including the delivery of flight simulators and interactive ground and sea-based training systems.
The Indian Navy will base the MiG-29K squadron, dubbed the "Black Panthers" at an airfield in the state of Goa on India's west coast until INS Vikramaditya, the Soviet-built carrier originally named the Admiral Gorshkov, joins the Navy in the fall of 2013.
The MiG-29K is a navalized variant of the MiG-29 land-based fighter, and has folding wings, an arrester tail-hook, strengthened airframe and multirole capability. It can be armed with a wide variety of air-to-air and air-to-surface weaponry.

SAN DIEGO -- His wobbly early season start corrected, Edinson Volquez is pitching like he's supposed to for the San Diego Padres.
Backed by consecutive homers by rookie Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable, Volquez combined with three relievers on a four-hitter to lead the Padres to a 5-1 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.Volquez won his third straight start and the Padres, who took two of three from the Diamondbacks, won for the eighth time in 11 games. The Diamondbacks have lost five of six.Volquez's start carried more weight because the Padres put lefty Clayton Richard on the 15-day disabled list earlier Sunday with an intestinal virus. Richard was chased in the fourth inning of Saturday night's 8-1 loss and the Padres had to use four relievers."This start today set up what needed to happen, where he pitched deep into the game and the guys who were the freshest were able to pitch," manager Bud Black said. "It was a critical start. Volqy pitched very well on the heels of a tough start by Clayton."Volquez (3-3) has rebounded from losing his first three starts and seeing his ERA balloon to 11.68. He's 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA in his last four starts.Volquez said he's been working with pitching coach Darren Balsley."A lot of work, man, trying to pull everything together to throw strikes," Volquez said."Everything was working. I threw good pitches today, down in the zone and got a lot of ground balls, fly balls. My goal was to stay in the game as long as I can to give us a chance to win."Volquez held Arizona to one run and four hits in 6 2/3 innings while striking out three and walking three. Joe Thatcher got one out and Luke Gregerson and Huston Street pitched an inning apiece.Black said Volquez has been throwing more strikes early in counts and more strikes with his secondary pitches."The change, when thrown, he's been able to throw it behind in counts," Black said. "When they take it, called strike. Where I think early in the year maybe he was trying to be a little bit too fine, a little bit out of whack mechanically and the offspeed pitches were not consistently in the strike zone. So the last three starts have been much more strike-heavy with the secondary pitches. The fastball command is improved, also. You put it all together, three wins and a lot of zeroes."Volquez had only one bad inning, when he allowed Didi Gregorius' home run deep into the right-field seats leading off the third. Gregorius hit his third homer. The Diamondbacks have homered in a season-high six straight games.Volquez then gave up a double to Kennedy and, with two outs, walked the bases full. He got out of the jam by inducing Eric Chavez to ground out."We didn't have anything going at all," manager Kirk Gibson said. "We didn't make any adjustments to what he was doing. He was trying to start off with off-speed pitches and we were out in front. We didn't have a good approach. It should because we only had four hits."Gyorko hit a two-run homer with two outs in the sixth and Venable followed with a solo shot off Ian Kennedy.With Chase Headley aboard after getting hit by a pitch on his upper right arm, Gyorko sent a 3-2 pitch an estimated 426 feet into the upper deck in left field, his second. Venable then hit a drive into the first row of the home run porch in the right-field corner, his second.That was it for Kennedy (1-3), who allowed five runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings, struck out five and walked three. After winning at St. Louis on Opening Day, he is 0-3 with a 5.70 ERA in six starts."I just felt like I couldn't put anyone away," Kennedy said. "There were times when I had two strikes on guys and I didn't have that put-away pitch, whether it was my fastball or my changeup. In those situations where I could strike somebody out and I didn't do it, it's pretty frustrating."Headley extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI single in the first, the third straight Padres batter to reach against Kennedy opening the inning. Everth Cabrera hit a leadoff double and Chris Denorfia walked ahead of Headley's single up the middle. Yonder Alonso added a sacrifice fly.Game notes
Kennedy is 7-2 lifetime against San Diego, with a 3.17 ERA. ... Arizona has scored just six runs in Kennedy's last five starts. ... Tennis great Rod Laver was at the game and dropped by both clubhouses before the game, visiting with managers Bud Black and Kirk Gibson. ... The Padres activated RHP Tyson Ross. Black said Richard (0-4, 8.54) has lost 12 pounds since getting sick during a series at San Francisco two weekends ago, although he's started to gain it back. He's scheduled to see a specialist Monday. Ross will pitch out of the bullpen as the Padres go with a four-man rotation due to two off days coming up. ... The Diamondbacks head to Los Angeles for a three-game series starting Monday, with RHP Trevor Cahill (1-3, 2.84) scheduled to start against LHP Chris Capuano (0-1, 9.64). ... The Padres open a home series against Miami in a matchup of last-place teams. Former Padres LHP Wade LeBlanc (0-4, 6.23) is scheduled to start opposite Andrew Cashner (1-2, 4.24).Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

BWAR is up for the ASPCA $100K Challenge, a nation-wide adoption contest. During a successful qualifying heat, voters pushed BWAR to fourth place, allowing the animal rescue foundation to proceed to the final round. As one of the top 50 shelters in the country, BWAR is in the running for a $100,000 grand prize. BWAR's goal is to find homes for more animals than any other qualifying shelter in the country.
"This ASPCA Challenge is the perfect opportunity for us to try out different tactics and get really creative at how we can increase our adoptions… With the amazing people in our community who support BWAR through volunteering, fostering, adoption and donating, we can not lose," said Denise Bitz, Executive Director of BWAR, in a press release.
The animal shelter that saves the largest number of animals, above the 300 minimum, will win first place in the ASPCA Challenge. Second place is nothing to scoff at either. $25,000 will be awarded to the second place winner and one contestant in each geographic region will win $20,000.

How's Life?
Israel performs favourably in several measures of well-being, and ranks close to the average or higher in several topics in the Better Life Index.
Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In Israel, the average household net-adjusted disposable income is lower than the OECD average of 23 047 USD a year.
In terms of employment, over 61% of people aged 15 to 64 in Israel have a paid job, below the OECD employment average of 66%. Some 64% of men are in paid work, compared with 57% of women. People in Israel work 1 890 hours a year, more than the OECD average of 1 776 hours. Almost 18% of employees work very long hours, much higher than the OECD average of 9%, with 27% of men working very long hours compared with 8% for women.
Having a good education is an important requisite for finding a job. In Israel, 82% of adults aged 25-64 have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree, higher than the OECD average of 74%. There is little difference between men and women, as 81% of men have successfully completed high-school compared with 83% of women. In terms of the quality of the education system, the average student scored 459 in reading literacy, maths and science in the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), below the OECD average of 497. On average in Israel, girls outperformed boys by 13 points, a larger difference than the average OECD gap of 9 points.
In terms of health, life expectancy at birth in Israel is almost 82 years, two years higher than the OECD average of 80 years. Life expectancy for women is 84 years, compared with 80 for men. The level of atmospheric PM10 – tiny air pollutant particles small enough to enter and cause damage to the lungs – is 24 micrograms per cubic meter, higher than the OECD average of 20 micrograms per cubic meter. Israel could also perform better in terms of water quality, as only 66% of people say they are satisfied with the quality of their water, compared with an OECD average of 84%.
Concerning the public sphere, there is a moderate sense of community and moderate levels of civic participation in Israel, where 89% of people believe that they know someone they could rely on in time of need, lower than the OECD average of 90%. Voter turnout, a measure of public trust in government and of citizens' participation in the political process, was 65% during recent elections, lower than the OECD average of 72%. Social and economic status can affect voting rates; voter turnout for the top 20% of the population is 71% and for the bottom 20% it is 63%, a slightly narrower gap than the OECD average gap of 12 percentage points.
In general, Israelis are less satisfied with their lives than the OECD average, with 70% of people saying they have more positive experiences in an average day (feelings of rest, pride in accomplishment, enjoyment, etc) than negative ones (pain, worry, sadness, boredom, etc). This figure is lower than the OECD average of 80%.

Smokers were asked to kick the habit Thursday as part of the 37th annual Great American Smokeout. YNN's Mark Goshgarian tells us about the effort in the Southern Tier to prevent young smokers from lighting up.
SALAMANCA, N.Y. — She's heard the warnings.
"Yes, I know them very well, smoking is very very dangerous," said Bridget Magiera, Salamanca.
She knows the risks.
"It causes birth defects, it causes lung cancer, heart disease," said Magiera.
She's lived with the reality.
"I lost my aunt to smoking, she had lung cancer, and my aunt and uncle who are still alive, they're going through cancer as well from smoking," said Magiera.
Twenty-year-old Bridget Magiera of Salamanca started smoking three years ago and goes through about a half a pack a day.
She was one of millions encouraged to quit Thursday during the 37th annual Great American Smokeout.
"Quitting smoking's really hard. It raises the importance again that the damage tobacco does here on the health in our communities, especially here in Western New York," said Laurie Adams, Tri-County Tobacco Free Program Director.
Adams joined a host of other advocates Thursday in Salamanca to help lower the rising number of young smokers in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties.
The group is also working to prevent the tobacco industry from marketing to youth.
"I think its accessible, I think its accepted, I think tobacco use is something that is peer related because we live in an environment where its so socially accepted, it's just an easy way for kids to begin down the path of tobacco addiction, nicotine addiction," said Sandra Brundage, Salamanca Youth Bureau Director.
A path Magiera says may be hard to step away from now, but knows someday she will.
"It's disgusting, it really is. When you're done smoking, you can't breathe, and I don't know why I still smoke, I really don't... so I don't plan on smoking in the future," said Magiera.

Motorola targets iPhone 4S and iCloud in new lawsuit, probably with Google's blessing
The patent wars rages on in the smartphone and tablet markets and the latest salvo comes from none other than Motorola Mobility, which is currently in the process of being acquired by Google. On Wednesday, the company filed yet another patent lawsuit against Apple, seeking an injunction against the iPhone 4S and iCloud. The patents involve technologies related to wireless antennae, software, data filtering and messaging.
These are the same patents cited by Motorola in a previous lawsuit filed in late 2010. However, that case is already far along, with a trial scheduled for this summer, and the presiding judge rejected Motorola's supplemental claims as untimely, but said the company could file a separate lawsuit.
The filing follows a preliminary decision issued earlier this month by the U.S. International Trade Commission that Motorola did not violate Apple patents in another case Apple brought against Motorola. Prior to that, Motorola scored a substantial win in Germany that could lead to a sales ban on Apple devices.
What's interesting about this latest filing against Apple is that the buyout agreement between Motorola and Google stipulates that Motorola cannot start a new lawsuit over intellectual property without Google's blessing.
This would mark the first time Google is directly involved in a lawsuit against Apple, even though court battles between Apple and Android device makers have been going on for a while. If Motorola can pull off a victory in the U.S. it would likely fortify Android's legal standing and justify Google's $12.5 billion bid for Motorola.
User Comments: 8
Got something to say? Post a comment-
I would venture to say that since the buyout is not complete, Motorala doesn't need Google's "blessings" just yet. Nonetheless, having said that, I'm sure Google would still approve the lawsuit.
The acquisition was $12.5 billion not million.
@killamoves little typo, what a bargain that would have been. Fixed
Its about time someone turned the tide on Apple. I wonder how they will function having to be on the defensive. Get-em MOTO!
I hope Apple phones get banned in the USA.
karma's a *****
Go get em
Wouldn't be surprised to find that Google is paying the legal bills on this one.

Introducing… Lawson
Page last updated at 16:53 GMT, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 17:53 UK
- E-mail this to a friend [an error occurred while processing this directive]
Some bands take their names from films, others find inspiration in songs or books. Lawson are named after a brain surgeon.
Andy Brown, lead singer of the group, was diagnosed with a brain tumour just before starting the band.
They decided to honour Dr Lawson, who performed the operation to save Andy's life.
It also helped they thought the name had a "cool ring" to it.
"We were lucky that it sounded good too," laughs Andy.
Lawson are four undeniably good-looking guys: singer/songwriter Andy, along with Adam Pitts on drums, Joel Peat on guitar and Ryan Fletcher on bass.
Lawson, the facts
Continue reading the main story- What: American influenced pop rock with a guitar twist
- For fans of: The Script, The Wanted, Maroon 5
- Download: When She Was Mine (27 May)
- Live: Touring throughout the UK this summer
Their appearance, along with their young, dedicated fan base, makes it easy to draw parallels between them and bands like One Direction and The Wanted.
The Geese
When we make this comparison, they are keen to point out their differences.
"I wouldn't put us in the same bracket," says Joel. "I would say say we're more like a band because we play our own instruments."
"We get why we get it," adds Adam.
"We're four guys, we look like we're in a boy band but I think if people come to live shows it speaks for itself."
And to be fair to them, they have worked their way up the ladder, paying their dues, opening for other bands to rooms of just a few people.
One similarity though is that their fans have banded together to name themselves, much like the Directioners and the Beliebers.
Slightly more cryptically than these fans though, Lawson followers call themselves 'The Geese'.
This was a term the boys used on Twitter to describe women and then the fans decided to take it for their own.
Future collaborationsAccording to Ryan, Andy is "genius behind most of the songs", with the three others adding to the arrangements and "Lawsifying it up".
The Lawson sound has already attracted other stars keen to collaborate.
"Gary [Barlow] started following me on Twitter and that was the biggest starstruck moment for me ever," says Andy.
Apparently their label has been keen to set up some time for the pair to write together.
"We're all massive Take That fans and [to write with him] would be a dream come true."
Adam Pitts, LawsonWe look like we're in a boy band but I think if people come to live shows it speaks for itself
The boys are currently on a high in the run up to the release of their first single, laughing and joking throughout our time together.
They have big aspirations for the next few months.
"We're probably dreaming," says Ryan, "but we'd love to be doing a theatre tour."
They have been performing with The Wanted and have seen them go from smaller venues to selling out arenas in under a year.
"Our favourite thing to do is playing live," adds Adam. "So if we could just do that all around the world, that's what I want to do."

Impaired Glucose Tolerance Raises Risk of Stroke in TIA PatientsPosted: Friday, July 14, 2006Impaired glucose tolerance is independently linked to an elevated stroke risk in non-diabetic patients who have already experienced a TIA or minor stroke. Impaired glucose tolerance, typically defined as a nonfasting glucose level between 7.8 and 11.0 mmol/L (140.4 - 198 mg/dL), has been linked to stroke in patients with coronary artery disease. However, it was unclear if this metabolic derangement increased the risk in patients with a prior TIA or minor stroke. As reported in the June issue of Stroke, Dr. Sarah E. Vermeer, from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, and colleagues assessed the impact of glucose tolerance on stroke risk in 3127 patients with a prior TIA or minor stroke who participated in a trial comparing aspirin and atenolol with placebo. The average follow-up period was 2.6 years. During follow-up, 272 patients developed a stroke and 200 patients experienced an MI or cardiac death. An 80% increased stroke risk was seen in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, but patients with excessively low glucose levels (< 4.6 mmol/L) also had a 50% greater risk than did those with normal glucose levels. The biggest risk of stroke -- a nearly threefold increased risk compared with normal glucose levels -- was in patients with overt diabetes. By contrast, the glucose levels seemed to have no bearing on the risk of MI or cardiac death, the report indicates. "Intensive glucose control in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients seems to reduce stroke and other macrovascular events," the authors state. "New secondary prevention trials should be initiated to investigate whether intensive glucose control reduces stroke incidence in these patients."

We've been thrilled to see how many influential Christian leaders have toured the Creation Museum since it opened four years ago. These leaders have gone back into their spheres of influence (churches, ministries, etc.) and have encouraged people to visit the Creation Museum and be better equipped in their faith.
Twice now Answers in Genesis has had the privilege of hosting Dr. Johnny Hunt, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia, and outgoing president of the Southern Baptist Convention (the largest Protestant denomination in America), here in our facility. While visiting the museum earlier this year on his second trip to see us, Johnny and his family took the time to speak for our Answers in Genesis staff chapel. He presented a wonderful devotional based on Psalm 119. Also, Pastor Hunt gave a strong endorsement not only for the Creation Museum, but also the future Ark Encounter.
Directly after chapel, Pastor Hunt stayed behind in the auditorium to record some video endorsements of the Ark Encounter. You can watch this wonderful Bible teacher and well-known Christian leader endorse the evangelistic Ark project here.
Please check www.ArkEncounter.com for news as it relates to the Ark Encounter. We hope to inform you soon when ground will be broken for this unique center, located in northern Kentucky about 40 miles south of the Creation Museum (and south of Cincinnati, Ohio).
Next month, Ken Ham will be speaking at First Baptist Woodstock. Answers in Genesis is so thankful for pastors like Dr. Hunt who are preaching the whole counsel of God's Word and who have become partners with Answers in Genesis in proclaiming the creation and gospel message.

Music is barely anything without instruments. They are AWESOME. It doesn't matter if you're a band geek, an orchestra dork, a music major, or just played violin for a year in elementary school. If you've loved a musical instrument, you know how it is.
FYMI is run by a 23-year-old music ed major, who loves every second she can get with a bari sax in her hand.
All of the photos on this site are (c) their owners. I do not claim ownership for any of them (unless I took them myself).
If you want to follow my personal, which is a mashup of food porn, music major woes, and band stuff, drop me an ask.
hey look its other my instrument!

Oh hot damn. So much love for this instrument.

"James is extremely knowledgeable in the field of Filipino Martial Arts and self defense and takes the time to explain why certain basic moves are the foundation and important. He is not the type of instructor that will take your money and do what you want to do, he will do what is best for you based on your skill level and ability and if you have physical limitations he will work around that as there are several different ways to defend yourself.
James is also a very good boxing instructor and will work with you until he is satisfied with your form. " -

"Like many others I hated to workout! I was unmotivated and inconsistent doing my own exercise routine. Then I met James. James is positive, motivating and TOUGH! More importantly, he's knowledgeable and professional. He pushed me each week and held me accountable. With his help I LOST 3 DRESS SIZES! If you're serious about working out, JAMES IS YOUR MAN!"

Business-to-Business Advertising in the Current Environment, Web Editorial Content
Web Editorial Content – With some publications taking the approach of offering more content online that is in addition to their print offering, a new opportunity exists for companies to get their message out to target audience through web articles and press releases. It is recommended to check with the publication of choice to see what online editorial opportunities are offered.
By working with the publication's editors, a business-to-business advertiser might have some interesting opportunities to get their information published online. This is generally a free service but some publications can offer paid editorial opportunities or advertorials on their websites. Generally, this content would be of the same nature of the content offered in the magaqzine and focused on the attention of that magazine and website's target audience.
The online version of editorial is interesting because it grants the writer the chance to link readers to portions of the advertiser's website for more information. This traffic can also be tracked for measurable results.

TMZ sparked a conversation with Jeffrey Peterson -- co-editor of the mag -- who tells us Charlie began to pursue Natalie a few months ago after seeing her on the cover of the February, 2010 issue (pictured above).
We're told Charlie and Natty eventually connected through a mutual friend -- and the two hit it off. Jeffrey tells us ever since the two began their "whirlwind" relationship ... Charlie has been "very romantic."
Don't be surprised if their next date is at a Pink Floyd laser show.
Ahhhh....the Mother of his next group of test tube babies raised by the nannies huh? nice going CHUCKLES...new lows have been reached.
YUK, how could anyone be with him when they know what he is like. Oh well, another headline coming up in a few months.... RUN SMOKING GIRL RUN
Hopefully Charlie IS smoking some weed. Hopefully that will cause him to eat some damned food. Sorry, Charlie, I know you're short and all but even at you're diminutive height you are still grossly underweight. Despite rumors to the contrary, you actually can be too thin. Just check the actuary tables for proof of that. Or come on down to the hospital and I'll show you around the morgue. My guess I'll be seeing you there fairly soon as it is.
I suppose if I had as much money as Charlie Sheen I'd hit whoever I wanted to too and not really care what anybody else thought!
Don't Hate The Playa...Hate The Game!
The chick on the cover of this magazine looks nothing like the previous picture that TMZ showed of Natalie. She doesn't even look like she's of the same ethnicity.
Lack of cash is the one thing that usually saves addicts. Most people hit bottom right about the time they run out of resources and have finished ripping off everyone they can rip off. Charlie has the rare ability of hitting bottom and continue burrowing down due to the amount of money he has earned. But when you're paying hookers 30k and more at a pop the money does tend to vanish quickly
If he could grasp the concept of moderation Charlie could conceivably live another five years. At the rate he's going I doubt he'll see 2012.
Charlie must have tinymeat(under 7 inches hard), otherwise why on earth would he have to pay all this money for stink-fish??!!
@@ (withlovefromwayacrosstheocean) YOU STATED: YUK, how could anyone be with him when they know what he is like. Oh well, another headline coming up in a few months.... RUN SMOKING GIRL RUN
Yea right, this here example of American female overachievers claim to fame is appearing on magazine covers, sporting bikini/panties, while holding a bong in hand, which indeed by the way will be the high point of her life.
And you ask how can this epitome of female virtue date someone that has actually done a few positive things with his life, not to mention earns over one million dollars per week?
No, actually it is Charlie who is stepping far down, and it is this common sluskank that is stepping way up.
American hot girls i.e. ejaculation reciprocals, are a dime a dozen, people that make over a million dollars per week, not so much......Artofwar

Damn, you nailed that! There's alotta truth to what you said.
Charlie may have alot of cash now but it is impossile for it to last at the rate he's blowing it.
It is his money to blow though.
It would suck big time to look back and think you blew that much on what he's spending it on.
He's a slow moving trainwreck.
"Don't be surprised if their next date is at a Pink Floyd laser show".
Hahahahahaha!! With Charlie acting and talking like a 15 year old! "Dude! It's epic!!"
