About the Program
Physician assistants play a critical role delivering high-quality, affordable health care to the nation, and more than ever before physician assistants are needed to meet the changing health care needs of our nation and the world. The MUSC Physician Assistant Studies (PAS) program is the perfect place to gain the skills, knowledge and experience to grab hold of this exciting, evolving career. We offers a Master of Science degree for individuals seeking to become physician assistants.
The PAS program begins at the end of May each year, and lasts for 7 semesters or approximately 27 months. The first 4 semesters (15 months) are devoted to classroom study. There are no online courses offered in the Program. Students reside in Charleston taking courses 5 days a week over the first 15 months of the Program,
During the last 3 semesters (12 months), students complete 9 separate clinical clerkships at sites located throughout South Carolina and elsewhere. Clerkships include rotations in mental health, women's health, internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, and general surgery, as well as a primary care elective and a clerkship elective of the student's choosing.
Students are highly discouraged from having a job while in the PAS program. Some students choose to work part-time (starting after their first semester) as a work-study student through MUSC's Financial Aid Office. Scholarships may be available to currently enrolled students. Each semester, the Office of Student Life communicates with students about available scholarships.
The College of Health Professions also offers a Fellowship program, and numerous Continuing Medical Education opportunities including Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Appropriate Prescribing, and Best Practices in Pain Management.
Program Goals
The Physician Assistant Studies program assesses its success through the accomplishments of our students and alumni. In order to ensure its success, the program strives to:
- Be fully compliant with all standards established by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA);
- To enroll competitive applicants representing the rich diversity of the populations of South Carolina and the nation;
- To educate physician assistants with the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide quality health care;
- To graduate students who are highly satisfied with the quality of their education, the state of their professional development, and their overall capability to function as a physician assistant; and
- To engage our alumni in strengthening the profession by supporting the education of the next generation of physician assistants

Amarillo, TX - It's no surprise that when rain comes, people generally use less water for landscaping. but it may surprise you just how much of our water is used - and wasted - through irrigation.
Irrigation accounts for about sixty percent of total water use in Amarillo - a fact illustrated in the changing of the seasons.
"In the wintertime, we use about 30 million gallons per day," says Emmett Autrey, the City of Amarillo's Director of Utilities, "and here in the summertime we've been using 60-plus, and so the difference there is outside watering."
Even in the summer months, one single rain event can cut our total consumption substantially. For example, one week ago (Jun. 13), when we hadn't seen much rain, Amarillo used more than 70 million gallons in one day.
On Tuesday, we used less than 40 million - about a thirty percent drop.
"Now we're getting water from the sky," says Autrey, "a lot of people are turning their sprinkler systems off in order to conserve water, because we're getting natural rainfall - and we're getting up to 30 million gallons a day less than we were."
What all this means is that cutting down on watering is the single most effective action you can take to reduce your own use. The city recommends limiting watering to two days a week to have the greatest possible impact.
You can learn more about our city water supply and what you can do to help preserve it at the links attached to this story.

Insights About Assessment
Now Is The Time for Assessments
Assessment is not a part time job in education; assessment programs need to provide benefits year round. Targeted, objective, validated assessment data is needed to raise admissions standards, support student learning, demonstrate the value of educational offerings and enhance systems of institutional effectiveness.
Assessment results are only as strong as the test instruments and the data. Insight Assessment's critical thinking and quantitative reasoning test instruments are used around the world to deliver the high quality data and reports needed.
It's not too late to implement your fall assessment program. Now is the time to measure thinking skills and mindset to assess the learning potential of new students, improving retention and student graduation success. Timing is key to student advising and to institutional assessment projects.
Insight Assessment can get you ready to test online in 24 hours. Start capturing objective, nationally normed data on fall term entering students to assess their success potential and establish a baseline for accreditation reporting.
Employers Prescreen for Thinking Skills
Employers need strong thinkers who can demonstrate strong thinking skills. Before you interview, you can prescreen candidates for strength in five key skills:
- Problem analysis
- Evaluating alternatives
- Precise contexts
- Ambiguous contexts
- Quantitative contexts
Make data-drive hiring decisions; INSIGHT Business Professional provides objective metrics on these essential elements of thinking strength. Your time is too valuable to waste interviewing candidates who don't have the skills to expand your business.

Flashback: Pelosi Responds with 'Are You Serious?' to Question about ObamaCare's Constitutionality
By Geoffrey Dickens | March 26, 2012 | 15:40
When Nancy Pelosi was asked in a 2009 press conference about where in the Constitution Congress has the authority to order Americans to buy health insurance, she responded: "Are you serious?" That week, none of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network news programs deemed Pelosi's ludicrous response to the question from CNSNews.com worthy of coverage. The news blackout of the then House Speaker's response isn't surprising, given that the liberal news media, as documented in this recent MRC compilation, pushed at every point in the debate process for ObamaCare.
The following are the relevant portions from CNSNews.com's Matt Cover's October 22, 2009 article about Pelosi curtly dismissing the Constitution's relevance to ObamaCare:
When CNSNews.com asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday where the Constitution authorized Congress to order Americans to buy health insurance--a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of the health care bill--Pelosi dismissed the question by saying: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
Pelosi's press secretary later responded to written follow-up questions from CNSNews.com by emailing CNSNews.com a press release on the "Constitutionality of Health Insurance Reform," that argues that Congress derives the authority to mandate that people purchase health insurance from its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce.
The exchange with Speaker Pelosi on Thursday occurred as follows:
CNSNews.com: "Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?
Pelosi: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
CNSNews.com: "Yes, yes I am."
Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a "serious question."
"You can put this on the record," said Elshami. "That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question."

I guarantee you has never read the US Constitution or any Founding document.
Just like she has no idea what's really in Obamacare. Don't get me wrong, she doesn't care what's in it, doesn't care how much it costs. Cares only about the incentive for companies to drop coverage, for individuals to pay fines, for private insurance providers to get squeezed out, and have government take over the entire system, regardless of what it takes or what it does to our country and it's citizens. She and her ilk are some of the most tyrannical people in America..
If you like your health insurance plan you can keep it? BS. Changes have already been made so much that many of the plans you are in aren't considered to be grandfathered in anymore.
These are some of the sickest people in America.

EL CAJON (CBS 8) - A man who led police on a rush-hour pursuit through busy El Cajon streets was identified late Thursday night, and expected to face charges for evading police and allegedly ramming a squad car.
The driver was identified as Jerry Lee Hickethier, 33, of El Cajon.
Police say a veteran sergeant with the El Cajon Police Department saw Hickethier fail to stop for a red light and attempted to pull him over. But Hickethier allegedly took off, with the sergeant chasing him with lights and siren blaring.
Police say Hickethier then came to a sudden stop, put his vehicle in reverse, and intentionally rammed the police car, causing moderate damage.
The driver sped away from the crash scene, evading officers on his tail who tried to stop him at a busy intersection. Hickethier then allegedly drove onto the sidewalk, struck a light pole, and slammed into another police vehicle before taking off again.
When the suspect finally attempted to drive onto Interstate 8 from El Cajon Boulevard, the pursuing officers performed a pit maneuver and stopped the vehicle.
Police say Hickethier got out of the pick-up truck and approached the officers, shouting and gesturing with his hands. Investigators say he failed to comply with officers' orders.
Hickethier was then taken to the ground and arrested. He later booked into County Jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and evading arrest.
Nobody was injured. Hickethier is due to be arraigned in court on May 7.
Less than an hour after Hickethier was taken into custody, San Diego Police undertook another dangerous pursuit, after an alert officer spotted a grey Honda Civic that had reportedly been stolen out of National City earlier Thursday.
When the officer tried to pull over the suspect behind the wheel, the driver continued speeding along westbound Interstate 8, before pulling off on to surface streets in Grantville.
After hitting two other cars, the suspect came to a crashing halt along Alvarado Canyon Road when he back into a police cruiser. He then footbailed, sprinting up an embankment and desperately running across four lanes of I-8 traffic in an attempt to escape. He finally stopped at the center divider, where police took him into custody.

Just days after Eagles DT Mike Patterson collapsed on the field during Philadelphia Eagles training camp due to what may or may not be brain AVM, doctors are telling Patterson that he should be able to rejoin the team within three to four days. Via John Clayton...
Patterson is already out of the hospital and, according to his agent, is "scheduled to see a neurologist in Philadelphia in the next day or so. We anticipate that he will be cleared to resume normal team activities within a few days." Patterson's agent is disputing the AVM prognosis.
The Eagles would love to have Patterson back healthy and ready to play. He started 14 games for the team last year, accruing 37 tackles and 2 sacks. He started all 16 games for the team in 2008 and 2009 at DT.
Stay tuned to Eagles blog Bleeding Green Nation for more updates on Patterson and Philly.

ARTIST: Tim Woods
ALBUM: The Blues Sessions (Earwig Music)
Tim Woods is a guitarist from Pennsylvania, with a deep connection to the blues.
That fact that this was recorded in Chicago, Atlanta and Clarksdale, Miss., gives you a hint this is a real blues record (especially the last town) as well as the special guests that appear - Honeyboy Edwards, Beedy Eyes Smith, Big Jack Johnson, Big T Williams (you have to have a nickname to play the blues) and others.
Woods starts out with "Deep Ellum Blues" and it sounds like a late-night party summer back porch. "Do The Do" is down and dirty nasty blues in a dingy barroom, roll an upright piano in that same dark barroom and you've got "Castle Rock Boogie." "Clarksdale Boogie" is surely do bring on some foot stomping, while the guitar in the pared down acoustic "Bad Whisky & Cocaine" sounds like it's strung with barbed wire. Honeyboy Edwards - a real Delta bluesman who actually knew Robert Johnson- takes over the vocal chores here, and sings like the blues is supposed to be sung. In fact, the best tunes in the collection are those sung by Edwards; "Wind Howlin' Blues" and "Drop Down Mama."
That's not to say that Woods doesn't take the time to shine himself. "Who's Been Talkin'" is a powerful blues, and shows off his growl of a voice, and understanding of what the blues is (and isn't).
Visit www.timwoodsmusic.com
Woods plays the Rosendale Caf�, 434 Main St., Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10.
David Malachowski is a guitarist, producer and freelance journalist living in Woodstock. The Freeman seeks CDs by local artists or artists appearing locally for review. Please send all CDs (please no CD-Rs or demo CDs) to Daily Freeman c/o Preview, 79 Hurley Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401.

STAGE TO SCREENS: Jeff Daniels Is the Anchor of HBO's "The Newsroom"
By Christopher Wallenberg
Aaron Sorkin's new TV series about the state of broadcast journalism, "The Newsroom," stars stage and screen actor Jeff Daniels. The actor talks with Playbill about the sheer theatricality of Sorkin's work.
The pulse-quickening dialogue in an Aaron Sorkin drama hurtles at you like a blazing Roger Federer forehand. Whether it's his breakthrough stage-to-screen work A Few Good Men, his landmark television series "The West Wing," his Oscar-winning film "The Social Network," or his divisive new HBO drama "The Newsroom," Sorkin delivers whip-smart verbal volleying and rousing arias on journalism, politics, pop culture and human relations that is at once crackling, caustic, stylish and thought-provoking.
And who better than Jeff Daniels — as the brilliant, arrogant and irascible cable news anchor Will McAvoy — to deliver that quicksilver banter? After all, Daniels has made acerbic erudition and droll verbosity a hallmark of his recent roles. There was the sardonic blind sidekick Lewis in "The Lookout," the mercurial self-help author and bitter recluse Arlen Faber in "The Answer Man," and the pompous, cell-phone-wielding corporate lawyer with dreadful parenting skills in God of Carnage on Broadway. The high water mark was Daniels' tour-de-force turn in Noah Baumbach's family divorce drama "The Squid and the Whale," in which he imbued the epically narcissistic blowhard Bernard Berkman with a ramshackle pathos.
In the opening episode of "The Newsroom" on June 24, Daniels' cable news host Will McAvoy — mocked as a blandly inoffensive Jay Leno news figure obsessed with his likeability and protective of his own political views — shocks his constituents at a journalism school panel with a "Network"-style meltdown, reminiscent of Howard Beale's infamous "I'm mad as hell" rant in that picture. Responding to a question by a naïve young college student who asks why America is the greatest country in the world, Will launches into a fact-and-figure-filled harangue about why that's absolutely not true anymore, but insisting that America can once again return to its faded glory days. His diatribe is captured by cell-phone cameras in the auditorium, and the video quickly goes viral.
After Will returns from a weeks-long exile, he learns that his boss Charlie (Sam Waterston) has hired a hotshot new executive producer for "News Night," MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer), who just happens to be Will's ex-girlfriend. MacKenzie, with Charlie's backing, implores Will to seize the moment and revamps "News Night" into a program whose primary concern is giving viewers information that they can use in the voting booth — which means putting facts at the center of the show, ignoring ratings, and avoiding sensationalistic stories like the Casey Anthony trial or human interest fluff. "There's nothing that's more important in a democracy than a well-informed electorate," MacKenzie tells Will.
Needless to say, when the show's ratings start to plummet, their new approach draws the ire of the network's corporate owner (Jane Fonda) and her henpecked son, Reese (Chris Messina), the company's president.
The critical reaction to "The Newsroom" has been polarizing. It's been decried as sanctimonious and self-righteous — that the characters are talking at each other and at the audience. In the second episode, Thomas Sadoski's Don says to Alison Pill's Maggie that what MacKenzie and Will are trying to do with "News Night," won't work. "Nobody's going to watch a classroom," he says. "They'll either be bored or infuriated." Which pretty much sums up some of the negative early critiques of the show. Sorkin has also come under fire for his problematic writing of female characters. One Slate critic admonished the show for being "a sexist mess, where the women are neurotic, tech-incompetent emotional morons who snap into professionalism just in time to make the men they bolster look good."
Other prominent voices have come to the show's defense, including The New Yorker's David Denby and legendary former CBS news anchor Dan Rather, who wrote (on Gawker!) that "The Newsroom," "gets close to the bone of what happens, what really happens, behind the scenes in newsrooms and the boardrooms that govern them."
Despite divisive reviews, the ratings have been a bright spot, and HBO has already renewed the series for a second season.
Calling from his home in Chelsea, Michigan, where he's spending the summer, Daniels discussed Sorkin's musical way with words, the contentious reaction to the show, his sideline career as a playwright and theatre impresario (he founded the popular Michigan Equity theatre Purple Rose Theatre Company), and how James Gandolfini helped him navigate his first television series gig after more than 50 films.
What about Will's transformation really appealed to you? Why did you want to play this guy?
JD: We did a screening in New York the week before the show premiered, and all of the New York media and cable news people were there — people from "60 Minutes" and producers from CNN and MSNBC. I talked to a couple of 'em, and one of them said, "I hope that the show deals with those of us who are trying to hang on to the ideals of journalism and just doesn't attack the whole industry in a general sense — that we're all a bunch of idiots who are covering the Kardashians."
I think the show does try to hang on to those ideals of journalism. It was interesting to see and to hear these guys say, "We fight that fight every day." They're constantly going up against the ratings. If they should continue to cover a certain scandalous story, their ratings will rise. Or if they move away from that story, their ratings will drop. It's this push-pull thing they have with advertisers and corporate. So that's what Will and MacKenzie go up against. They try to do "Nothing but the truth, here we come." And it costs them ratings, and Will's job becomes in jeopardy.
One of the show's critiques is that the media is obsessed with fairness and balance. As MacKenzie and Will articulate, some news media have a bias toward fairness, but that there isn't always two sides to every argument — and sometimes you have to call out a ridiculous argument as exactly that. Do you think that's a valid criticism?
You've kind of become the go-to guy for playing characters with a caustic dry wit or a sardondic intellectual streak to them: God of Carnage, "The Squid and the Whale," "The Answer Man." There's something about the character of Will in "The Newsroom" that seems a natural fit for you as an actor. Did it feel that way?
There's lots of great theatre talent working on the show — John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski and Sam Waterston. Do you think actors with lots of theatre experience have a particular facility for speaking Sorkin's dialogue?
JD: The whole trick with Aaron is to get ahead of him. You can't be playing catch-up. The dialogue is so intricate and musical, just like a play. Once you start working on a play, there's a music to it. The great writers all write with a rhythm — all the way back to Shakespeare. Mamet certainly does. Lanford [Wilson] did. And Aaron is the same way. That's why you memorize every single word, because there's a rhythm to it. Then with Sorkin, because you're going at what seems like a hundred miles an hour, you don't have time to kind of pause and stutter your way through a line as you try to remember it. You've got to know it so well that you can get on top of it and dance on top of it — so that you can give different inflections, different speeds, add different spins on it. You do it a whole bunch of ways, so that they have some options in the editing room. But you can't give them options if you don't know it. Let me say this: I brought my golf clubs to California, and they never left the apartment. You spend the weekend sleeping and memorizing. A long answer, but it gets to what theatre people all know, which is getting the dialogue cemented in your head, so it feels like the 100th performance of a play. That's a whole different settling in — when you know it, you own it, you don't worry about it.
There's not only a lyrical and musical quality to Sorkin's writing, but he also references lots of musicals in the show itself! Sorkin got a BFA in musical theatre from Syracuse University. And he recently told a reporter, "Every time I turn in a script, [producer] Scott Rudin writes across the top, 'Your degree, finally at work!'"
At first, Will comes across as a pompous, irascible jerk. But we start to see the cracks in the facade and glimpses of a more vulnerable and self-loathing side to him. How will the character change over the course of the season?
The reaction to the show so far has been pretty polarizing so far…
Just a little. Some people like it, and others loathe it. The negative reviews have been sharply critical of what they see as a sanctimonious and self-righteous tone, that there's too much speechifying and pontificating. Or that Sorkin is injecting his own politics into it. What is your response to those critiques?
Do you think the show has come under more scrutiny and taken such a beating in the press because it's about the media and the news business itself?
JD: I did it for a lot of reasons, personally. But I really wanted to create a Circle Rep of the Midwest or what I remember of Circle Rep [the famed New York theatre company where Daniels first got his start in the 1970s]. We were certainly looking to theatres like Steppenwolf and people who had already started doing that kind of thing. I wanted to see if I could do it in southeastern Michigan, in the middle of corn fields. To gather a company of professionals from around here, meaning actors, directors, designers, and then to get playwrights writing. But finding writers and turning them into playwrights takes time. You've got to develop them and show them that you're going to produce their stuff while they get better. Then doing new plays. That's what Lanford [Wilson] and [director] Marshall [Mason] taught me at Circle Rep. That's all they did were new plays. So I was interested in all of that — blindly so. And we had a lot of peaks and valleys, swings and misses. But we gained a consistency in the second decade that we've been able to maintain. The production level became very high, and we built an audience. I mean, who knew whether anyone would come after the first year? What the art of theatre has done for this community, you can see it in the faces of the people. You can see it in the minds that have been changed — in the artists and also in the audience. That's been the most gratifying thing: To see that theatre can still make a difference. I think Marsha Norman said that good theatre can change lives, and the Purple Rose has proven that.
You've written 14 plays for the Purple Rose so far. And you're going to be premiering a new comedy The Meaning of Almost Everything at the theatre in January. What's that all about?
Love the title…very tongue-in-cheek.
Your three-decade-plus career encompasses more than 60 films and TV movies. But "The Newsroom" marks your first foray as a regular on a television series. What's that been like doing series television for the first time?
Now that you're committed to doing "The Newsroom" for a second season, will you have any time for theatre? When will we see you back on stage again?
The chemistry between the four of you was electric.

Americus, Ga. - September, 4 2001 - Dan Petron, a dedicated employee of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) has been selected as Georgia Worker of the Year, an annual contest sponsored by Dickies Workwear that recognizes those employees who often go beyond what is required. Along with this win, Petron will receive over $500 in cash and prizes.
Dan was selected from thousands of entries from across the nation. Entrants had to write a brief statement explaining why their nominee represents "the spirit of the American worker." Dan's supervisor, Peter Dalva, nominated him for the award, stating that, "Dan exemplifies the American spirit of can-do ingenuity and willingness to help those less fortunate."
Over the past year, Dan has been employed as a construction crew leader at HFHI. As a construction crew leader, Dan oversees renovations and other HFHI construction projects. When asked about his feelings since receiving the award, Dan replied, "I am honored that Peter would take the time to nominate me, and I feel privileged to be a part of an organization that is making a difference in the world." HFHI's founder and president, Millard Fuller said, "I am enormously proud that Dan has been recognized as Georgia Worker of the Year. We cherish Dan here at HFHI and are pleased to have him as a part of our team." Having won the Georgia Worker of the Year award, Dan automatically qualifies for the National American Worker of the Year award, with the winner to be announced on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Labor Day. The national winner will receive their choice of a 2001 Chevy Silverado pickup truck or a Chevy Blazer, and a trip for two to Nashville for the awards ceremony.
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary year, Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 2,000 communities in 76 nations have built and sold more than 100,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages.

To judge the merit of the application, reviewers will comment on the following criteria. Please be sure that you and your sponsor or co-investigator fully address these in your proposal:
- Investigator: Is the investigator appropriately trained and well suited to carry out this work? Is the work proposed appropriate to the experience level of the principal investigator and other researchers? Do the investigative team and sponsor bring complementary and integrated expertise to the project? Will this grant support the investigator's further development into an independent investigator?
- Environment: Does the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Do the proposed studies benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, or subject populations, or employ useful collaborative arrangements? Is the strength and nature of the mentoring relationship appropriate? Is there evidence of institutional support?
- Significance: Does this study address an important problem broadly related to cardiovascular disease or stroke? If the aims of the application are achieved, how will scientific knowledge or clinical practice be advanced? What will be the effect of these studies on the concepts, methods and technologies that drive this field?
- Approach: Are the conceptual framework, design, methods and analyses adequately developed, well integrated, well reasoned and feasible (as determined by preliminary data) and appropriate to the aims of the project? Does the applicant acknowledge potential problem areas and consider alternative tactics? Does the investigator have access to an appropriate population group for the study? Does the investigator address issues of statistical power when appropriate? If the proposal is for a pilot study is there a rationale for development of more definitive studies?
- Innovation: Is the project original and innovative? For example: Does the project challenge existing paradigms and address an innovative hypothesis or critical barrier to progress in the field? Does the project develop or employ novel concepts, approaches, methodologies, tools or technologies for this area?
- Impact: How does this project relate to and support the mission of the American Heart Association to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke?
Applicants should never contact reviewers regarding their applications. Discussing scientific content of an application or attempting to influence review outcome will constitute a conflict of interest in the review. Reviewers must notify the AHA if an applicant contacts them.
- An investigator may not hold more than one AHA award concurrently.
a) An investigator may hold two AHA grants (affiliate and national) concurrently if all three apply:
- There will be no more than six months remaining on the initial award.
- The projects have no overlap in specific aims.
- There is no budgetary overlap between the two projects.
- An applicant may submit only one affiliate application per deadline. If eligible, an applicant may simultaneously submit an application to an affiliate and to the national award program. The proposed research plan may need to be adjusted based upon different length of award and dollars available. The deadline dates may be different for each submission. If both are funded, the applicant must choose one award.
- An applicant who is unsuccessful in a competition may resubmit the same or similar application three times (the original plus two resubmissions). The same or similar application submitted for the fourth time will be administratively withdrawn.

Full report: Demolition sparks housing protest in Carlisle
A protest has taken place in Carlisle against the demolition of several one bedroom flats in the city.
A group of residents say there are not enough properties of this size for all the people that need them.
They are worried that there's a growing demand for smaller flats because of the Government's so-called bedroom tax, which charges people in public housing who have unused bedrooms.

If you're planning a cruise (during winter) be aware that most of the sea days within the Med are cool until you get closer to Madeira and the Canary Islands.
The Shower/wash room wasn't as clean as we would have liked (or expected). There was quite a lot of staining in the grouting tiles and some tiles were broken. Generally as you look around the washroom you can tell it's not had a good clean in a long time. Also there was dust evident around where the TV sits which again indicated that it hadn't been cleaned in a while. I don't know if this is because the turnaround time is so quick. We wiped it down in the end.
The lining of the curtains also had quite a lot of marks/stains and the tie backs were broken so you could not use them. I think our general impression was a lack of maintenance.
Balcony is small just enough room for two chairs and a very small table. Table had some stains; we cleaned it in the end, but does the job at the end of the day of some outdoor space...
Our room attendant was good, but I would avoid this room again as he sets up his cleaning cart outside so there was often noise, and also it is adjacient/above the main entrance/exit at Barcellona where they play loud welcoming music.
The bar staff can be a bit sneaky and offer you a "special" tumbler but makes no mention that it has an additional cost. I appreciate cruise lines need to make some money but I think they should be open to the customer if something is chargeable. Saying "would you like it in this?" is misleading I think...though it's another cruise ship lesson learnt.
Ports of Calls:-
The ship will encourage you to use their transfer bus but all the ports are walkable...
Madeira -
The ferry across the harbour does not run now that they have built a new cruise terminal. The ship bus costs about 8euro but you could walk into town in about twenty mins.
Santa Cruz - No ship bus on offer, the town centre can be walked in around twenty minutes. They are currently a lot of roadwork's next to the port so it is not as direct a walk as it used to be, and quite a few stairs.
Lanzarote - Ship offer a free bus which drop you off in the town, the main shops are ten or so mins walk away. There is very little around the dock in Lanzarote. Town does not look that impressive from the ship but there are a few nice areas once you look around. We had a nice afternoon with lunch there.
The new cruise terminal and marina is lovely and nearby the ship. The ship offer a transfer of 4euro but that just takes you to the cruise terminal entrance gate so you would need to walk still to get into the town, about 10-15mins away. From the ship the town centre is around 20/30 mins away.
However we had a great time but I think that was mostly due to the fact that we decided not to do any ship excursions so could do things as and when we wanted to.
The average ship age was around 45/55 plus

Brewers look forward to Fenway visit
Milwaukee (20-21) at Boston (24-19), Friday, 6:05 p.m. CT
MILWAUKEE -- Five years ago, when the Brewers last faced the Boston Red Sox, it was a classic mismatch. The Brewers were still licking their wounds from a 106-loss 2002 season, while the Red Sox were on their way to the American League Championship Series.The Brewers lost two of three games in that series, but will head to venerable Fenway Park beginning Friday looking for a different result. Though they still may be regarded as underdogs, they have significantly narrowed the gap. "We see ourselves on par with anybody in baseball," said left fielder Ryan Braun. "We have to go out and prove it day in and day out, though." Braun's new eight-year, $45 million contract meant he was due to pick up a dinner tab or two in Boston. It also meant another symbolic step forward for a Brewers franchise trying to break free of years of mediocrity. His contract is the longest and richest in club history, and the most significant deal ever awarded a player with fewer than two years of Major League experience. Still, the Brewers, with their $82 million payroll, face an uphill climb against teams like the Red Sox, who field a team that costs nearly $145 million. "We've always been looked upon as a small-market team," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, who was a Red Sox consultant before taking Milwaukee's GM job in late 2002. "We try not to have that attitude." Jeff Suppan (one of a number of former Red Sox on Milwaukee's roster), Carlos Villanueva and Dave Bush are set to start for the Brewers in the three-game Interleague series against Daisuke Matsuzaka, Tim Wakefield and Josh Beckett. Milwaukee's three starters are a combined 5-10 and none have an ERA better than Suppan's 4.63. Boston's trio is 13-5 and Wakefield owns the highest ERA at 4.25. "I feel like it's going to be a good series," Brewers shortstop J.J. Hardy said. "I definitely don't feel like it will be a wash. None of us have any feelings like that." The right-handed-heavy Brewers will have to guard against swinging for the Green Monster in left field. Perhaps their two or three trips a year to Minute Maid Park, with its short-porch Crawford Boxes in left, will help in that area. In terms of tradition, the Brewers are regular visitors to Chicago's Wrigley Field. Still, many viewed a trip to Fenway Park as a treat. "I'm excited because of the ballpark and the history there," Villanueva said. "I always wanted to go to Wrigley [Field], Fenway and all the old stadiums. I don't think I'll get to go to Yankee Stadium unless we play them in the World Series, I guess. Boston is full of history and I'm happy to get to pitch there."
Said Braun: "I'm excited about it. There's a ton of history there, a ton of tradition. They're a great team, World Series champions. It should definitely be a lot of fun."The Brewers were an American League franchise from 1969-1997, so they made plenty of trips to Fenway. But they have not been back since, playing the Red Sox in Interleague Play only once, and in Milwaukee. There are some personal storylines for the visitors. Brewers manager Ned Yost had the biggest moment of his career at Fenway Park, hitting a game-winning, three-run home run on Sept. 29, 1982, that gave the Brewers a four-game lead over the Orioles in the American League East with five games left in the regular season. It proved a decisive win; the Brewers lost their next four games before winning in Baltimore on the final day of the season to clinch the division. They have not been back to the playoffs since. For outfielder Gabe Kapler and closer Eric Gagne, it's a return to their former home, though each player has different feelings about the place. Gagne struggled mightily after a midseason trade to Boston last summer, but still netted a $10 million contract with the Brewers. Kapler played for the Red Sox for parts of 2003-2006 and was one of the emotional leaders of the 2004 team that snapped Boston's long championship drought. "Fenway is a special place," Kapler said. "Every inning played there is electric, no matter who is the opponent. I'm sure it's going to be a little bit different for us than it is for [the Red Sox]." Brewers slugger Prince Fielder said he had been to Fenway Park several times with his father, former Major League slugger Cecil Fielder. "It's cool," Fielder said. "I don't really care, though. It's where we have to go, so you just have to play. They're going to be tough because they're good." The American League has won more games in Interleague Play for four straight seasons, but the Brewers bucked that trend in 2007, going 8-7. Interleague by the numbers: 72-82 overall, 8-7 in 2007
Record vs. Red Sox: 184-213

June 17-19: vs. Toronto

June 27-29: at Minnesota
MIL: RHP Jeff Suppan (2-2, 4.63 ERA)
Suppan will be facing the team with which he broke into the Major Leagues in 1995 and spent parts of three seasons, going 7-9 with a 6.10 ERA in 29 outings at Fenway Park. He will hope for better results as the Brewers begin Interleague Play, and is coming off one of his best starts this season, a seven-inning, one-run performance against the Cardinals at Miller Park. The win snapped Suppan's two-game losing streak. BOS: RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (6-0, 2.45 ERA)
Matsuzaka is looking for his seventh win in eight starts this season. After a season-high eight walks on May 5 in Detroit, Matsuzaka settled down last Saturday in Minnesota and issued three over his seven innings, allowing six hits and two runs while earning his second win of the month. The right-hander will look to become the fourth Red Sox hurler this decade to start a season 7-0, joining Josh Beckett (9-0 in 2007), John Burkett (7-0, 2002) and Pedro Martinez (7-0, 2002). Tidbits
The Brewers are coming off a series loss to the Dodgers, but still finished the homestand with four wins in seven games. They went 2-9 on their last road trip, including six straight losses, and are 9-12 away from Miller Park. ... Reliever Mark DiFelice is expected to join the Brewers on Friday. He was promoted from Triple-A Nashville to replace injured right-hander David Riske. It likely means a higher profile for right-hander Seth McClung, who had been serving in the long relief role that now will be filled by DiFelice. ... Brewers left-handed reliever Mitch Stetter suddenly cannot find the strike zone. He has walked seven of the last 11 hitters he has faced in two outings. "If he's going to be of any use to us at all ... he's going to have to find a way to get back to commanding the strike zone," Yost said. "Quick." Tickets

Lower reverse mortgage amountsby Gerry Barker, Florida Home
Bank Rate
A popular type of reverse mortgage may become less so, due to rising defaults that prompted the Federal Housing Administration to make changes at the beginning of this month.
The standard fixed-rate HECM, or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, offered qualified reverse mortgage borrowers a lump sum of their home equity with a fixed rate. Now, the FHA says that beginning April 1, those loans are only available with a variable rate and a smaller lump sum. Borrowers seeking a fixed rate can still get the Saver Fixed-Rate HECM, which also comes with a smaller lump sum.

How does Islam perceive atheism?
Nothing could be so destructive to the human soul as atheism which is a poison that damages the human cells and turns man into an entity walking aimlessly an so susceptible to ruinous concepts and prone to commit suicide when faced with any problem.
At this age, the young, owing the to open media, are among those who suffer from the atheistic philosophies, these turn their life into absurd life.
Islam is not only a moral code, but also it has a system that refutes the claims of atheism on scientific bases. The very moment prophet Muhammad was sent, he was faced with atheists and idolatrous, he argued with them using the Holy Quran, the Holy Quran bears evidence to its divine source which can be understood by the different cultures, educations, mentalities and ages. That why many people, despite their callous hearts, accepted it in the time of the prophet and even sacrificed themselves and wealth for spreading it.
The unique nature inthis holy book makes it an intimate friend and condoler to its readers, once you read the Holy Quran, you feel as if it was revealed to talk to you alone, blame you alone, reasons with you, convince you, condoles you raising you from the swamps of atheism giving you a state of tranquility that you have never tasted.

"it has a system that refutes the claims of atheism on scientific bases" really? like what? jinn stealing thrones, giant she camels drinking up the well? please enlighten me. i'm an atheist. never wanted to kill myself. are you totally delusional?

How does Islam challenge Atheism? The Muslim´s call the Jews the disbelievers, the Christian´s the disbelievers, and then shall Islam challenge Atheism... Atheism is the strongest disbelievers. Ohh Muslim´s have been hustling a long time and they haven´t got none. You know let them who want to be that they want to be, a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim or a disbeliever or a Atheist. It does not matter, the thing is to know who is the Lord.. And know what not to do.

islam challenges atheist by killing them.
57 Narrated 'Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"
and it saws such enlightened things such as those who don't believe are like cattle, nay lower than cattle. then some wonder where people like abu hamza gets there ideas? strange?

@FGCU_MSoccer Readies For Spring Schedule Against Prominent Competition
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Coming off a record fourth-straight Atlantic Sun Conference regular-season title, the FGCU men's soccer team will kick off its preparations for the 2014 campaign when the spring schedule gets underway Sunday, Feb. 2, against MLS member Chicago Fire and continues through the middle of March with four additional friendly matches set against another MLS team, a Canadian University, a semi-pro club and the Under-17 U.S. National Team.
In addition to the Fire and U-17 national squad, FGCU will match up against the University of Victoria (Feb. 11, 7 p.m.), the defending MLS Cup Champion Sporting Kansas City (Feb. 22, 11 a.m.) and North American Soccer League member Tampa Bay Rowdies (Mar. 15).
The Eagles will take on the Fire at Ave Maria's North Park beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday, and the friendly will be video streamed on Chicago-Fire.com and by following the link at the top right of this release. The Green and Blue will then host the University of Victoria at the FGCU Soccer Complex before traveling to Orlando to square off versus Sporting KC.
The Under-17 U.S. National Team comes to the FGCU Soccer Complex to play a friendly under the lights on Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. The Eagles then wrap up their spring slate by traveling to St. Petersburg to take on the Rowdies at a time to-be-determined.
"The spring season/preseason is extremely important to us because it serves as the unofficial start to the 2014 season," head coach Bob Butehorn said. "Every year we try and get experience against several different styles of play, and we're fortunate to have accomplished that again this spring with great friendlies against professional, national and international opponents."
The friendly against the Chicago Fire marks the fourth straight year the two clubs have met. The Fire beat FGCU last January, 2-0, in three 30-minute periods, but three years ago – the first time the two clubs met in 2011 – the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Chicago finished last year 14-13-7, but missed out on the playoffs due to a second tiebreaker to Montreal. After the season ended, the club's forward Mike Magee was the named the MLS Most Valuable Player.
FGCU assistant coach Alec Dufty was a goalkeeper for the Chicago Fire during the 2011 season, signing a contract with the club on Mar. 1, 2011, after training with the team all preseason, including its visit to Ave Maria.
The University of Victoria – located in western Canada – has a rich history which includes five CIS national championships, including one in 2011. The team is a member of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the highest level of play at the university level in Canada. The Vikes finished the 2013 season with an 11-5-1 record and were 6th in the Canada West Ranking.
Sporting KC won the MLS Cup in December after an epic 10-round penalty kick shootout against Real Salt Lake. KC returns 10 starters from that team, and five players were named to the U.S. Men's National Team roster – the most of any MLS club.
The U.S. U-17 National Team has faced FGCU a few times in the past, including last year. Many players are only 1 or 2 years apart from members of the Eagles, giving a good indication of the value of a strong college schedule and the ability to play professional teams.
Rounding out the 2014 spring schedule is a match against the Tampa Bay Rowdies. The NASL franchise went 15-15-8 last year and finished third in the league standings. The two teams also faced one another in 2012.
The Eagles became the first program in A-Sun history to win four straight regular-season championships this past fall courtesy of a 6-1-1 league record. The Green and Blue has a 28-3-2 record in A-Sun games since the start of the 2010 season. All three of its conference losses have come on the road, and out of a possible 99 points that could have been earned in that time, the Eagles have claimed an impressive 86 of them (86.9 percent).
After starting the season 0-5-1, the young Eagles – who do not have a senior on the roster – went 8-1-1 over their final 10 regular-season games. During that span FGCU out-scored its opponents 14-6, including 12-4 in A-Sun action.
Isaiah Madrid (Albuquerque, N.M./El Dorado HS) was named the A-Sun Freshman of the Year, highlighting a list of seven Eagles who garnered A-Sun honors in 2013. Madrid finished the regular season tied for 5th in the A-Sun with 11 points on four goals and three assists. In total, three Eagles landed on the A-Sun First Team, two were on the Second Team and two more, including Madrid, finished on the All-Freshman Team.
Admission to each friendly is free of charge. For the latest information on FGCU men's soccer, follow us on Twitter @FGCU_MSoccer.
