LEWISBURG, W.Va. – The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) is introducing a Community Health Awareness Day on Saturday, Sept. 29, with free adult health screenings from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Clinical Evaluation Center on the WVSOM campus in Lewisburg.
All participants can receive free vision, hearing, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and dental screenings. In compliance with national health guidelines, individuals may also be eligible for blood sugar and cholesterol screenings. Men may be eligible for rectal and prostate screenings. Women may be eligible for breast, pelvic and pap smear screenings. A limited number of free mammograms will be available via Bonnie's Bus, West Virginia's mobile mammography unit for breast cancer screening.
Andrea Nazar, D.O., professor of clinical science and medical director for WVSOM health screenings, has organized similar events in the past, but this is the first time the school has offered one complete day of free health screenings simultaneously to adult men and women which follow new national guidelines.
"Our goal is to reach underserved individuals in Greenbrier, Monroe and Pocahontas Counties who may benefit from updated information about their health and wellness," she said.
All health screenings are provided by medical students at the school under the supervision of qualified physicians. To schedule a screening, call 304-647-6245. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

"This was a very pretty postcard. The custom text and colors chosen turned out very nice and true to the example. I paid for expedited shipping and it arrived on time."
"These were delivered in a timely fashion! They are perfect for our wedding and are beautiful. The only complaint I have is that the paper (signature matte, no extra charge) is a bit flimsy so be sure to be careful when handling and wiggling into envelopes. Besides that, they were perfect!"
"I love these save the date cards. The design is simple but gorgeous! Fits perfectly with our beach themed wedding. I was able to customize the color of the font, But I wish the color of the star could be changed as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this product!!"
"Our Save the Dates were perfect! We chose the pearlized paper and it just gave it a nice shine. It really made the beachy background come to life. We chose to write our info with website and more details in the back which worked out perfect as we are having a destination wedding. Text, ink, everything looked professional and very well done. Guests were very pleased and loved our Saved the Dates."
"I was surprised by the paper used to create our save the dates! It is very high quality. All of the printing came out correctly. I liked that I was able to change the color of the flowers. Overall very highly satisfied with the product!"

Daredevil End of Days #3 review here.
I don't know how this book does it but I end up so excited after every issue. Sometimes it's a low hum of tension because the story is so dark and taut, sometimes it's full on jittery nerves. Every issue leaves me feeling something new. I know a lot of it is that impatient anticipation you get as you wait for something to play out. With each chapter, the reader and Urich find more clues and more information that's seemingly unrelated, but still feels important. There's a sense of something far greater at play here that we just haven't stumbled upon yet. The story takes us to new places with sometimes familiar characters involved but … Read More »

Read a review of Saga #6 here.
Fiona Staples' art is so iconic in this series, but lets talk about the covers for a minute. Not only is the art stunning, the background colour wraps all the way around to the back, a welcome change from most ad plastered books on the shelf. It's a simple touch becoming more common again outside of the big two's books and it really makes single issues feel less disposable somehow. That may prove to be a smart move as many consumers are skipping single issues and going straight to buying graphic novels.
Issue #8 jumps the timeline for the first few pages, going back to tell the story of how Alana and Marko first met. It's suitably romantic, despite a bit of violence, but … Read More »

Batman #15
Read a review of Batman #14 here.
I've been really excited about reading this issue. #14 was spectacular and the scenario Scott Snyder has set up with the Joker makes the term "tense" seem like spending the day with a box full of kittens. The first page of issue #15 ramps up the tension even more as Batman talks himself down from the psychological ledge the Joker's put him on. The scientific dissection of how the Joker's pupil reactions simply don't behave the same way as any other criminal– or human for that matter– pinpoints just how far outside the realm of normalcy the Joker really is. At the end of the day, he's still a mad man but this atypical unconscious biological response differentiates him on an anatomical level, something that's hard to ignore when you're trying … Read More »
A DKB Must Have Graphic Novel
7th December
Look no further, a great graphic novel for you (well depending on your type of read) has just arrived at The 4th Wall this week!
Yes my friends, a wonderful, color full, very funny, and violent as hell 8 issue comic series has finally been made into a hard cover graphic novel which is Butcher Baker, The Righteous Maker. This series was done by Joe Casey and Mike Huddleston who had great chemistry in creating this series, and released by Image Comics who do a great job entertaining the bigger boys and girls!
Now, about the story. What can I say, this series has bit of evreything! From a semi-retired mercianry with a severe attitude problem who would pretty much pull the plug on anybody if it would mean that he would be left alone to enjoy his booze and strippers, violent road rage, lots … Read More »

Daredevil End of Days #2 review here.
Before I even begin to discuss the story in this book, I need to gush over the art. There are so many incredibly talented people working on this book. Let's start with the covers. Alex Maleev's cover with Elektra and two baffled looking cops (who look remarkably like the book's authors) is stunning, though it doesn't seem to have much to do with the story. David Mack's variant is beautiful as well, a mourning Elektra at Daredevil's grave. The interior art makes just as much impact, with a splash page by Bill Sienkiewicz starting off the issue and several more by Mack throughout. They're unique and set the tone for these flashback or emotional memories outside the current narrative with Ben … Read More »
Something for Everypony Here!
29th November
I want to preface this with some information for all of you. I consider myself something of a pop-culturist. I like to immerse myself in all that is new and exciting in pop culture. I like to try all that I can, no matter how weird or out of the ordinary it sounds. I read the first book of Twilight and saw some of the movies because I wanted to just know about it, and didn't feel right mocking something I knew nothing of. I like Godzilla, I like Mega Man X and I love Batman. It's this trait that I think makes me a good "nerd". I'll try anything at least once whether it be comics or movies or whatever and this gives me a database of knowledge about pop culture that I pride myself on. I guess I'm … Read More »

All New X-Men #2
Though the first issue of All New X-Men didn't blow my mind like I'd hoped, I thought the concept was interesting enough to continue reading. Issue 2 stepped up and then raised the bar. I didn't expect the level of nostalgia and pure emotion that this book contained and evoked from reading it. The future that the X-Men have both created and tried to prevent is a harrowing bomb Hank drops on these naive kids at the beginning of their mutant hero careers. Their interaction with him as they struggle to come to terms with the concept of Scott being a mutant terrorist, never mind everything else that's changed (e.g. Jean and The Professor being dead), was so heartbreaking. You don't realize how much has changed and how far they've come … Read More »

Daredevil #20
Mark Waid managed to take a character that I have never found that interesting and turn him into a hero with depth, cockiness and interesting adventures, whether he's fighting villains as Daredevil or trying to keep his personal life in check as Matt Murdock. Waid's run on DD has been a roller coaster but still grounded in Murdock's world so it isn't just about the mask, it's about the person as a whole and what all the moving parts in his life mean to him. It's been refreshing, more than a little ridiculous at times while still being really interesting and different from every other book out there. It's easy to focus on the hero or villain and lose sight of the rest of the world they're trying to live in day to day.
I wasn't planning on reviewing … Read More »
DKB at the Movies!

WARNING!!!!!! This may contain spoilers and nudity!
Hello once again people to another much anticipated for, a DKB review panel! I apologize for the wait but, yeah, you know….
This review will be about the most recent movie that I was finally able to attend too (when or if you have two babies home, you either or will understand!), the recent James Bond flick, Skyfall. This newest addition to the collection would have to be one of the best Bond films too date. The movie has everything you want from a Bond flick from great action, hot women, and an amazing new theme song for Skyfall performed by Adele that keeps the traditional style of the Bond music genera (The official music video will be at the bottom of the review). We also cannot forget the awesome performance of Daniel Graig's portray of 007, with his suaveness around the … Read More »

Batman #14
Scott Snyder is not f**king around with the Death of the Family Batman event. The reappearance of the Joker in issue #13 was chilling and ended with Alfred being abducted. That hit close to home which is the point of DotF. The Joker has always been a chaotic evil force but since his return, he's become more methodical than ever. There's always a method to his madness but as issue #14 proves, he's planned out every detail this time. He's covering all the possibilities as he recreates key moments in his history with Batman with even deadlier results than the first time around. It's really frightening and is already shaping up to be a quintessential Joker story arc.
I don't want to spoil the plot much so I'll focus on a few key things. There's a moment in issue #14 … Read More »

A lot of the talk about Sporting Kansas City is about their forwards and Graham Zusi. It's for good reason too considering how influential all of them have been for the team this season, but through 15 minutes the best player on the field for the home side has been Julio Cesar. The midfielder has gotten forward a few times to create opportunities, but more importantly, with Zusi pushing a little higher than Peter Vermes probably wants, he's had to slide in the middle and be midfield tackler.
If Zusi continues to play as high as he is, the onus will really fall on Cesar and Roger Espinoza to do the dirty work. It's a dangerous plan of attack for Sporting because it leaves them vulnerable if just one other player gets forward or out of position, but it looks like that's what they'll be doing. That means Cesar will have to be as good as he's been all match.

Dr. 'Pat' Jarboe Passes Away

Dr. 'Pat' Jarboe Passes Away
St. Mary's City, MD - 3/13/2012
By Dick Myers
He was a beloved family physician and St. Mary's County community leader. Dr. James Patrick "Pat" Jarboe, 78, of St. Mary's City died Sunday at his home. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, March 14, 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at Brinsfield Funeral Home in Leonardtown, with prayers at 7 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered Thursday, March 15 at 10 a.m. at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Lexington Park.
Dr. Jarboe's obituary said, "He led a life of Christian faith and service to others." A St. Mary's County native, he began his family practice in the county in 1960 and joined Shah Associates in 1990. His medical resume includes chief of staff at St. Mary's Hospital, medical director of St. Mary's Nursing Center and St. Mary's Hospice; he was named State of Maryland Family Doctor of the Year in 1997.
In 1990 Dr. Jarboe along with his friend, dentist Dr. Martin barley, began annual medical missionary trips to Honduras and Guatemala, caring for those who did not have access to medical care. That same year he also founded Health Share of St. Mary's, which provides free health care to county residents unable to afford it.
Dr. Jarboe's community involvement resume is as long as his professional one, and includes two stints as county commissioner (elected in 1974 and appointed as president in 1986), chairman of the St. Mary's County Chapter of the American Heart Association, president of Historic St. Mary's City Foundation and board member of First National Bank of St. Mary's.
Last July a new Shah Associates medical building on Buck Hewitt Road in California was named in his honor.
At Tuesday's county commissioners' meeting, President Francis "Jack" Russell said, "We lost an icon in St. Mary's County." Commissioner Todd Morgan said, "He was a deep, deep part of this community." He added, "He made it better at the end of the day."

The Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington, D.C.,officially opened to the public this week. In honor of this historic event, we'll be posting excerpts from books in The King Legacy series on Beacon Broadside every day this week.
In celebration of the MLK Memorial Dedication, we are also giving away books by Dr. King. Enter for your chance to win hardcover editions of recent titles released by Beacon Press: Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, Why We Can't Wait, The Trumpet of Conscience, "All Labor Has Dignity," and MLK: In Word and Image. One grand prize winner will receive ALL SIX BOOKS. Five winners will receive one book of their choice. For more information and to enter, see the Beacon Press website.
Today's excerpt is from Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, the last book written by Dr, King.
In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America's future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.
Civil rights activist, theologian, and historian Vincent Harding wrote the introduction to the Beacon Press edition of Where Do We Go from Here. You can read it below or on Scribd. (Follow the link if the excerpt does not display properly in your browser or email.)
Named by US News & World Report as one of America's Best Leaders of 2009, Eboo Patel is the founder and Executive Director of Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), a Chicago-based institution building the global interfaith youth movement. Author of the award-winning book Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation, Eboo is also a regular contributor to the Washington Post, National Public Radio and CNN. He is a member of President Obama's Advisory Council of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, and holds a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, where he studied on a Rhodes scholarship.
One hundred years ago, the great African-American scholar W.E.B. DuBois famously wrote, "The problem of the 20th century will be the problem of the color line."
History proved DuBois correct. His century saw the struggles against, and ultimately the victory over, systems that separated and subjugated people based on race -- from colonialism in India to Jim Crow in the U.S. to apartheid in South Africa.
No American did more than Martin Luther King Jr. -- whom America pauses to honor today -- to address the problem of the color line. He spearheaded the marches that revealed the brutality of segregation, made speeches that reminded Americans that the promise of their nation applied to all citizens and expertly pressured the nation's leaders in Washington to pass landmark civil rights legislation.
But to confine King's role in history only to the color line -- as giant as that challenge is, and as dramatic as King's contribution was -- is to reduce his greatness. In one of his final books, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community, King showed that race was one part of his broader concern with human relations at large: "This is the great new problem of mankind. We have inherited ... a great 'world house' in which we have to live together -- black and white, Easterner and Westerner, Gentile and Jew, Catholic and Protestant, Muslim and Hindu ... Because we can never again live apart, we must learn somehow to live with each other in peace."
This ethos, as King's examples make clear, applies not only to the question of race, but to faith as well. In the same way as the headlines of the 20th century read of conflict between races, headlines in our times are full of violence between people of different religions. Indeed, what the color line was to the 20th century, the faith line might be to the 21st.
Faith as a bridge
King's life has as much to say to us on the question of interfaith cooperation as it did on the matter of interracial harmony. A prince of the black church, deeply rooted in his own Baptist tradition, King viewed his faith as a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division.
When, as a seminary student, King was introduced to the satyagraha ("love-force") philosophy of the Indian Hindu leader Mahatma Gandhi, King did not reject it because it came from a different religion. Instead, he sought to find resonances between Gandhi's Hinduism and his own interpretation of Christianity. Indeed, it was Gandhi's movement in India that provided King with a 20th century version of what Jesus would do. King patterned nearly all the strategy and tactics of the civil rights movement -- from boycotts to marches to readily accepting jail time -- after Gandhi's leadership in India. King called Gandhi "the first person in history to lift the love ethic of Jesus above mere interaction between individuals to a powerful and effective social force."
Following Gandhi was King's first step on a long journey of learning about the shared social justice values across the world's religions, and partnering with faith leaders of all backgrounds in the struggle for civil rights. In 1959, more than a decade after the Mahatma's death, King traveled to India to meet with people continuing the work Gandhi had started. He was surprised and inspired to meet Indians of all faith backgrounds working for equality and harmony, discovering in their own traditions the same inspiration for love and peace that King found in Christianity.
King's experience with religious diversity in India shaped the rest of his life. He readily formed a friendship with the Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, finding a common bond in their love of the Hebrew prophets. The two walked arm-in-arm in the famous civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery.
Later, Heschel wrote, "Our march was worship. I felt my legs were praying."
King's friendship with the Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh inspired one of his most controversial moves, the decision to publicly oppose the Vietnam War. In his letter nominating Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize, King wrote, "He is a holy man. ... His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to a world brotherhood, to humanity."
In his famous sermon "A Time to Break Silence," King was unequivocal about his Christian commitment and at the same time summarized his view of the powerful commonality across all faiths: "This Hindu-Muslim-Christian-Jewish-Buddhist belief about ultimate reality" is that the force of love is "the supreme unifying principle of life."
We live at a time of religious conflict abroad and religious tension at home. This would no doubt have dismayed King, who viewed faith as an inspiration to serve and connect, not to destroy and divide. During King's time, groups ranging from white supremacists to black militants believed that the races were better apart. Today, the same is said of division along the lines of faith.
King insisted that we are always better together. Indeed, that pluralism is part of divine plan. To paraphrase one of his most enduring statements: The world is not divided between black and white or Christian and Muslim, but between those who would live together as brothers and those who would perish together as fools.
This post originally appeared in USA Today.
On this day honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we here at Beacon Press are especially proud of The King Legacy Series, an historic partnership with the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. to bring out new editions of King's previously published work as well as new books based on the writing in King's archives.
As of January 2011, Beacon Press has reissued four books by King: Stride Toward Freedom, Where Do We Go From Here?, Trumpet of Conscience, and, this week, Why We Can't Wait, and one entirely new collection, All Labor Has Dignity, edited and introduced by historian Michael K. Honey.
The King Legacy Series website has many resources available, including teachers guides and biographies of King and the scholars involved with the series. In addition, we include here some links to excerpts from the books as well as audio and video that celebrates the man and his writing.

By Susan Brown What makes me a Patriot you might ask? I revere our Constitution. I still believe in The Founding Fathers vision. I believe that our Judeo Christian values and our Biblical roots are what has kept us in God's grace and that being in his grace is why we are the greatest nation in the history of mankind. I believe in American Exceptionalism. I understand that knowing and learning from our history, our trial and triumphs, is imperative. I reject the lies of the left and embrace our past.
When did I become a Patriot you might ask? I was born with the blessing of a patriots heart an that blessing was nurtured from early childhood by my parents, by my church and even by my school days. I come from an era in which each day began by reciting The Pledge of Allegiance
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation UNDER GOD indivisible with liberty and justice for all"
Each morning I and my classmates stood with our hands over our hearts and began our day with reverence for God and country. I was taught what the flag represents; thirteen red stripes representing the thirteen original colonies and fifty stars, one for each state of the union. I was taught to respect it as sacred. To never let it tough the ground and that unless it was to dispose of a flag that had served and was being retired to burn it was a sacrilege.
Yes, I had planted the seeds of patriotism in my heart at an early age but that was not where the story ends. All my life I have attended Independence Day fireworks shows on the 4th of July and was reminded by those fireworks of our national anthem.
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
I attended parades I which our soldiers marched in cadence and was moved to tears as I watched those brave young men, in their uniforms march by knowing that they had taken an oath to protect and defend the country that I had the honor and privilege of calling my home from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I stood in awe that they would risk their very lives to keep me free.
My patriotic training did not end there; in fact those things were just the beginning. I did not become a full fledged patriot until the day came when I realize that because of a slow and steady march of her stealth enemies from within my country was in jeopardy, she needed me! I was not the first to see this but when, because of the efforts of my most vigilant fellow citizen patriots, I came to realize that if my children and grandchildren were to enjoy the blessing of liberty that I had come to take for granted I would have to stand up and fight for those liberties.
I did not have an abrupt epiphany or awaken one morning to be a true and dedicated American Patriot. No, it was a gradual process that was inflamed by every shrinking of America's freedoms. Inch by inch and liberty lost by liberty lost my determination to turn back the tide of the socialist progressive left my dedication deepened to the point at which I knew in my heart that I would lay down my life to see The Republic restored to her former glory!
Yes I am an American Patriot; a foot soldier of sorts, fighting a battle to save the country that I know is worth dying for. Are you an American Patriot too?? If so we shall stand shoulder to shoulder until the battle is won!
God bless you my fellow Patriots and GOD BLESS AMERICA She said it better than I ever could!

My roommate has an acer. They come loaded with acer software along with a lot of other crap. The hardware is great for the price though. So I suggest if you do purchase one, clean it up before you start using it.
Re: Laptop Help
No matter what computer you decide to buy, someone will have good things to say about it and someone will have bad to say about it.
I recommend that whatever you buy, you make sure you can get good support for it not only in the beginning but towards the end of its life expectancy as well.
Go out and find a few models that fit your price range (new and used) and then go online and check out what the consumer reports say about them.
Long story short, you will pay what you get for but you can find some damn nice deals out there if you look around.
I for one would look in your area for a guy who rebuilds/refurbishes them and see what he has to say/offer.
Ask if you can check out a few of his customers etc.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

Re: Laptop Help
what is your price range looking like?
If you want something from $500-$800 range, Lenovo has a few inexpensive models, the SL model can be had for $500 and the R model for $750.
I have a Lenovo T model, bought in on a big sale, $1500, regular about $2200, couldn't be happier.
Customer support is based in Atlanta, so your not calling Inda or anything like that with Lenovo.
Just for kicks, i configured nearly identical laptops, one being a Dell Inspiron 1525, and the other is a Lenovo SL400, including extended 2 year warrenty, the Dell was $250 more.
Don't even consider an apple, because you'll be paying much more than you would for an equal-spec PC.
As for Vista, your out of luck trying to downgrade to XP, unless a) you find some place that still has some old XP machines kicking around, or b) you buy Vista Ultimate or Business, and get a free XP downgrade CD (Only Lenovo and dell offer this that I know of, even though they all are supposed to)
you can also call microsoft and order XP downgrade CD's, but you do need Vista Business or better.
I find, unless you can find a great sale at a store, often, configuring one online will save you money.
some store models may have things you don't need or want, upping the price.
From the sounds of things, your using yours for mostly school work (now granted, i don't know what your doing, ) so unless you are doing lots of media-related stuff, programming, design or 3d stuff, you can get away without having the latest and greatest parts in your laptop.
It doesn't take much for a laptop to open up word and surf the web.
If you have any questions about what you should get (processors, memory, etc) if you do decide to customize one, by all means feel free to ask, or shoot me a PM.
I (tell myself I) know a fair bit about this kinda stuff.

And I still stand by the teams I listed. Toby is not true starter material in this league. He MAYBE could be a 1,000 yard back. He is a very solid No. 2 and I think a ton of teams would welcome him in that role. But he would not have an expanded presence in most other offenses.

I've never gotten the hang of parenting at 30,000 feet. I'm the father they write articles about. They call us snowplow parents, bulldozer parents, helicopter parents. I am a CAF Sea King — outdated but managing to stay airborne most days — swooping low over the canopy, eyes peeled for trouble.
Preparing my youngest son Jacob for the world has been a passion and a challenge, though I've often wondered who was preparing whom. He and I have talked politics since he was two, philosophy since he was four, and social issues since he emerged from the womb. When he was two hours old, I sat in the RIH nursery rocking him and explaining I'd always be there for him, so he'd best learn to deal with it.
At three, he grilled me on the cause and effect of "chicken pops." Diseases aren't my forte, so I made most of it up. Being convincing with your lies gets harder as children get older.
Jacob's always been smarter than me anyway. In his high school years, I learned from him that the education system is a conspiracy to enslave our youth, and that you shouldn't wake up teenagers too early in the morning because sudden sunlight damages their corneas and makes them go blind.
He simply ignores me when my opinions don't square with what he considers common sense. Recently, after he flew off to Japan for a year of studies, we were on the phone and I asked about his plans for the evening.
"Uh, might go see a concert in Osaka," he said.
Alarms sounded, tension rose.
"Oh." Pause, take breath. "What kind of concert?"
"Some musical thing."
"How you gonna get there?"
Osaka is an hour from Jacob's university in Kyoto. Its population is two and a half million.
"Do you know where this concert is?"
"Nuh," he said, "but I'll find it."
I was reaching for the phone to charter an emergency flight to Japan when Syd stopped me. "Osaka is 11 hours from Vancouver," she said. "Secondly, he's 22 years old."
During a sleepless night, various scenarios materialized: he might be dead outside some sushi bar, caught in a mosh at a drug-fuelled Japanese rock concert, or forever circling Osaka on a bullet train. The next day, a tentative inquiry by email: "how was the concert?"
Answer: "The a capella groups were amaaaaaazing."
Jacob was 10 when we took him on his first trip to Japan, and he fell in love with the country. A few weeks ago, he took in a festival in Uji, our sister city, and chatted with Mayor Kubota, a friend for a dozen years.
Jacob speaks excellent Japanese, so he and the mayor talk mostly in that language, though Kubota-san has a pretty good understanding of English.
After emceeing an event at his university, Jacob wrote home to say, "It would seem I do indeed take after my father." My heart swelled when I read it.
There will be a big hole in Christmas this year, though the one advantage of our son being across the ocean is that I can borrow books from the collection he left behind, mostly on politics. But I hope overseas Christmas Day phone calls don't become a tradition — helicopter parenting isn't easy when you're 8,000 kilometres away.

It's hard to tell if you're walking into a pedicure studio or a Victorian sitting room. A client relaxes in a throne-like leather chair while a nail technician tends to her feet, and yet it feels as though a butler could walk in at any moment with high tea. Perhaps it's the nail technicians, who seem to be fawning over royalty, or perhaps it's the room's ornate mouldings, matching the patterned wallpaper and rug, and polished hardwood floors. That distinct sense of place elevates both of Parlour on the Avenue's locations, both housed in buildings constructed in the 1800s—one receiving a preservation award from Indiana Landmarks—and both with two floors bedecked in Victorian decor.
On the ground floors, the staff dotes over visitors with hair, nail, skin, and spa services. The second floors house Victorian wet spas—spaces where clients enjoy privacy and indulgent services such as whey baths, hot-stone massages, and stories read by Charles Dickens. To enhance the results of each service, Parlour's team recommends aftercare products from its stock, such as lotions from Hempz Body Care and Pino and face-care formulas from Control Corrective.
The spray tan secret of Hollywood Celebrities is now available in Cincinnati. When you need the look of a fresh tan without the harmful effects of the sun or tanning beds, we're here to provide professional Airbrush Tanning.
Joe Becerril doesn't want to train just one type of person. Instead, the certified personal trainer and owner of Elevate Functional Fitness prides himself on his ability to tailor programs for people of all athletic levels, such as beginners, body builders, and those with medical conditions. To do so, he taps into his fitness background, education, and supportive nature to challenge his clients to meet their own fitness goals, such as running a marathon or bench-pressing marathon runners.
The bronzing artists at Glow Sunfree Tanning and Waxing shade bodies to coppery hues with spray tans in just 15 minutes. Customizing their eco-certified tanning solution, which incorporates jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins to nourish skin, lets the professionals ensure clients acquire streak-free, natural-looking tans that can't be achieved with an orange crayon. In addition to darkening limbs, the salon staff waxes away unwanted fuzz for smooth, beach-ready skin.
Helmed by Kristi Backer, AfterGlow Studio aims to fill customers with the comfortable satisfaction of an improved appearance from well-done spray tanning or body waxing. Technicians use warm wax to remove unwanted hair all over the body by pulling it from the root. They also bronze skin with spray-tanning services, for which they can travel to customers' homes.
Endless Summer equips clients with a sun-kissed hue year-round. The salon boasts four types of UV beds, including a standup unit that gives 360 degrees of coverage. For custom hues, an airbrush specialist coats bodies with a UV-free formula that develops into a natural-looking bronze over the course of a few hours. The staff also regularly tests out bronzing products to determine which deserve coveted space on the salon's retail shelves; current offerings include Kardashian Glow and JWOWW.

Lack of new students leaving business schools reeling
- 48,515 students applied for admittance to full-time MBA programs, nation-wide, during the 2009-2010 academic year
- 38,630 students applied during the 2010-2011 academic year, reversing the previous year's gains source
» In addition to the drop in new MBA applicants, the Graduate Management Admission Council announced that two-thirds of its U.S. programs saw a decline in applications during the 2010-2011 academic year. The decline, combined with the fact that the number of American students taking the GMAT entrance exam is at five-year low, has some industry experts worried that the notoriously-cyclical industry won't rebound.

Major League Baseball, which saw Jackie Robinson break the color barrier in 1947, Tuesday will announce incremental progress in another civil rights issue. The new collective bargaining agreement adds "sexual orientation" to its section on discrimination, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement told the Daily News.
Article XV, Section A of the MLB's expiring Basic Agreement, in effect from 2006-2011, states: "The provisions of this Agreement shall be applied to all Players covered by this Agreement without regard to race, color, religion or national origin."
In the new agreement, which will be made public Tuesday afternoon, the words "sexual orientation" will be added to the equivalent section.
This decision follows that National Football League, which did the same in their CBA this year. Baseball officials familiar with the process describe the mention of "sexual orientation" as not necessarily related to the NFL, and as a provision readily agreed upon by both union and league negotiators.
The change in wording comes at the end of a significant year for gay rights issues. The military abolished its "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, and same-sex marriage became legal in New York state. In baseball, several teams filmed an "It Gets Better Video," an anti-bullying effort aimed at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.

Every week a dozen little people gather at the RAVE Family Center for a play date. It might look like a typical preschool setting to most people, but the story behind the RAVE Family Center is unique. It is a safe place to play for kids with special needs and developmental disabilities. Each child who attends gets one-on-one time with a trained volunteer. This care program, however, benefits more than just the children.
RAVE stands for Respite and Volunteer Experience and the Northern Nevada RAVE Family Foundation offers just that to parents in our area. On a regular basis, parents of a child with special needs can drop off their children at the RAVE Family Center for three hours of free child care, "which is a break; a gift of time that allows them to recharge their battery," explains RAVE Executive Director, Korine Viehweg. "You have 24/7 responsibilities. They might not sleep through the night, they might be demanding throughout the day, they're taking their kids to therapy sessions and groups and doctor's appointments."
Families like Kristoffer Pfalmer's appreciate the help. His daughter, Adriana, is a twin. Adriana and her sister came into this world more than three months early. As a result, Adriana battles some serious health issues. "Adriana had a brain bleed - grade four, which is the worst; so she has limited mobility." She has cerebral palsy, which requires 24-hour care, so her parents get little down time. It's a challenge, but the unique RAVE program helps the family carry on. "It's an enormous load off our shoulders to be able to bring our kids to an organization that's very competent and we can trust when we drop them off they're going to get the care their need," says Kristoffer.
Some pretty special young adults care for kids like Adriana. They are recruited from area high schools and trained to be RAVE volunteers. They are each assigned to one child and the program only accepts a dozen kids per session. Sophomore, Lauren Elvick was caring for Adriana when we arrived. When she first joined the program last year, she volunteered every other week. She enjoyed it so much, however, that this year she now volunteers every week. "It's so much fun. The kids bring a smile to everyone's face and it's the greatest thing I've ever done. It's affected my life so much."
Their time together may be brief, but it is so important. When the three hours are over, families come back together refreshed, renewed and recharged to continue their fight.
The Northern Nevada RAVE Family Foundation services about 70 kids a year and it can accept even more. The 501(ac)3 relies on grants, local donations and fundraisers like its annual An Evening to RAVE About dinner and auction in April. To learn more about that event or how to get involved in this one-of-a-kind program, log on to www.raveforkids.org.

It seems to me the experiment comes first, then the analogy, then the mathematics. Rutherford's people first bombarded the gold foil. From that experiment they learned there was a tiny nucleus. The implication that the electrons must be occupying the rest of the space prompted an imagined atom like a solar system. Then Bohr brought that idea together with the Balmer lines and the model was born. The math came last. Now and for many years the model is said to be all wrong because of those annoying orbits.
And you would be wrong if you think this is exclusively how knowledge in physics develops. One clearest example is antimatter that first came out of Dirac's formulation of QM. No such thing was ever observed experimentally, or even thought of, before his formulation.
Secondly, I really don't understand this "analogy" stuff. Analogies are simply a small subset, and application, or simply some resemblance of some THING. It is NOT the thing in itself. It is a way to convey some parts of an idea to someone who does not know, or have no ability, to know the thing. Pop-sci authors do this all the time. As Integral has pointed out in another string, there is a difference between learning physics and learning ABOUT physics. I would not be quick to make any definite statements about a subject matter if all I have acquired about that subject is simply via pop-sci books, or even conversation with people in that area. If understanding physics is that easy, everyone could do it. The essence of physics often lies in the subtleties in many areas - one does not understand it until one graps these subtleties.
Take note that there is a difference in "analogies" and constructing a "model" that represents the mathematics involved. Even the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization model that was supposed to represent the atomic orbits came out of classical, mathematically-developed mechanics! It didn't come out of thin air with ambiguous hand-waving arguments. There must be both qualitative and quantitative descriptions. Physics just doesn't say that everything that goes up, must come down. It must also say when and where it will come down!
While "analogies" and "visualization" can help to convey an idea, one should never fool oneself into thinking that these are the whole idea and that one has gotten all there is to know about that idea.

So this is kind of a roundabout way to get to him and make this a prospect related discussion but here goes:
Rays resigned Gabe Kapler. Fangraphs seems to think it's to platoon with Matt Joyce in RF (Desmond Jennings waiting in the wings aside - that's an entirely new discussion). This would seem to push Ben Zobrist into the infield, crowding the picture with Bartlett (headed to arbitration - do they just dump him?), Iwamura (club option for 2K10 - do they decline it?), Zobrist (one would expect they look to play him as much as possible given his breakout), and Rodriguez (can play either MI position, but I possibly better suited to 2B, and running out of options). So, in everyone's opinion, how do they sort this mess out?
I figure Bartlett will be due alot in arbitration given his numbers this year. So money wise, he doesn't make much sense. Iwamura is good, but Rodriguez and/or Zobrist would be cheaper. So what happens? Does money dictate here, or do they try and hoard the talent?

Fran Lewis has had type one diabetes for 13 years and still struggles to keep her blood sugar from dropping to dangerously low levels.
She admits she can't always tell when her blood sugar is low, but with the new insulin pump, mini-Med 530g, she will have some added assistance.
The pump will automatically stop delivering insulin to her if it senses her blood sugar is too low.
"This is a sense of protection for people that have trouble with low blood sugars," said Mandy Stevens, RN, CDE, CPT. "This device changes their lives because they don't have to be scared anymore of low blood sugars."
The feature is called Threshold Suspend Automation and will take effect if the patient does not react to the alarm.
Stevens said the device is the best and most modern way to manage diabetes.
If you would like to learn more about it, call Deaconess Diabetes Center at 812-426-9894.

Through the use of redundancy, most RAID levels provide protection of the data stored on the array and security feature is a key benefit of RAID. This is safer to server users. Moreover, there is a lower chance of the storage subsystem as a whole failing due to hardware failures.
2. High performance
RAID has the ability to combine several physical disks into one larger "virtual" device with performance be improved. It enhances the running speed, increases storage capacity and reduces impact of a disk failure.
There are different levels of RAID, and the standard RAID levels can be nested for other benefits. The most common standard RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.

Another automatic bid is up for grabs Monday night when the Davidson Wildcats take on the Western Carolina Catamounts in the championship game of the Southern Conference Tournament. The Wildcats would appear to have a dramatic edge — they were one of the two No. 1 seeds in the tournament field — though the Catamounts are arguably the hotter team.
The Wildcats are 24-7 and 16-2 in the conference entering this game, including a 21-point victory over Western Carolina in their only meeting this season, on Jan. 12. Led by a guy named De'Mon (De'Mon Brooks, that is), who is averaging 15.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game this season, they appear to have the advantage.
Then again, so did the last few teams who took on the Catamounts, including the SoCon's other top seed, UNC-Greensboro, who WCU beat in the semifinals. The Catamounts have won their last nine games in a row, which means their record (17-17, 8-10 SoCon) belies how well they've played.
Game Date/Time: Monday, March 5, 9 p.m. Eastern

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - After getting their first glimpse of Governor Bobby Jindal's new tax plan, state lawmakers are asking for more details.
The tax reform would eliminate state income tax, while raising sales tax by two cents on the dollar.
"All it is is a swap," says Senator Mike Walsworth (R), "there shouldn't be any extra tax revenue coming in to the state."
If the reform passes, Walsworth expects an individual to pay about the same amount in sales tax as what is usually taken from their paycheck for state income tax.
"Now there's still exemptions, the food, prescriptions, things like that," says Rep. Frank Hoffmann (R), "they need to be exempt and they still will be, but there are other areas including different services like getting a hair cut or getting your yard mowed...that could be added to something like that, and of course that's not in the sales tax now."
According to the legislators, some people are excited about not paying state income tax.
"With income tax, I get the working person's money before they even see their paycheck," says Walsworth, "one guy told me, he said, 'Well the good part about it is, now I get to decide how my money is spent'."
Others, like retirees, are already exempt from state income, and are now facing higher sales tax. To offset the increase, the Governor has plans to give tax-exempt people and corporations other rebates.
"We think that no income tax is going to be the driver that brings people into Louisiana," says Walsworth.
Senator Walsworth says the main reason for the tax changes isn't for the state to collect more revenue, but to make Louisiana more attractive for businesses.

Yeah, the imagery is bit on the brutal side, though there's a more of a, well, call it an intellectual meaning to the lyrics. The backdrop to the whole story line is that something somehow went wrong with the world, though no one really knows what anymore; this piece does what you might call setting the stage by presenting the trends that ultimately made it possible to happen.
Like the part you mentioned - a coroner's report on the cause of death of humanity; willfully bludgeoning itself to kingdom come, the final violent impact of dull and blunt minds with too much power.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!

June 11, 2012, 11:18 AM — After hearing objections from developers, Microsoft will offer a version of its Visual Studio Express 2012 package for desktop application development after all.
The company had previously announced that Express 2012 editions, which are free, platform-specific versions of the Visual Studio 2012 IDE, would be limited to Windows 8 Metro-style development as well as development for the Windows Azure cloud platform, Windows Phone, and Web applications. Metro is the new tablet-style look and feel planned for the upcoming Windows 8 operating system.
[ Microsoft this week began running Linux on Azure. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter for more news and analysis in the software development space. ]
Developers were unhappy with the lack of desktop application support. "A few weeks ago, we shared our plans for the Express editions of Visual Studio 2012," said Microsoft Corporate Vice President S. Somasegar, in a blog post on Friday morning. "As we've worked to deliver the best experience with Visual Studio for our platforms with Windows 8, Windows Phone, and for Web and Windows Azure, we heard from our community that developers want to have for Windows desktop development the same great experience and access to the latest Visual Studio 2012 features at the Express level."
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop is due for release this fall, Somasegar said. "Adhering to the core principles we've set for our Express products, Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop will provide a simple, end-to-end development experience for developing Windows desktop applications targeted to run on all versions of Windows supported by Visual Studio 2012. With this new Express edition, developers will be able to use C++, C#, or Visual Basic to create Windows desktop and console applications."

LOS GATOS, Calif., Dec 10, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- For the first time, homeowners can purchase high-performing, easy-to-install solar panels off the shelves of a major retailer, announced Akeena Solar Inc. (Nasdaq:AKNS), a leading installer and manufacturer of solar power systems. The Andalay AC panels are available at 21 Lowe's home-improvement stores throughout California. The panels, which were recently honored with a 2009 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Product award, are featured as part of Lowe's Energy Center at the stores.
"The PC revolution in the computer industry occurred when new technology made PCs easy to use and affordable," said Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Akeena Solar. "Likewise, with panels becoming plug-and-play appliances, the solar revolution has started. The availability of solar panels in Lowe's stores makes it easy for homeowners to go solar and is a big step toward getting solar on every sunny rooftop."
The Lowe's Energy Center is a one-stop, easy-to-shop destination that empowers customers to create an energy plan that fits their budget and home-improvement goals. An information kiosk offers a touch-screen display to help customers evaluate their home's solar and wind potential, and the Energy Center features products that help them measure their energy use, reduce energy consumption and generate clean energy. Lowe's is the first major retailer to offer many of these products in one place, products that range from power monitors and small solar chargers to a solar panel system. The Energy Center will be in additional U.S. and Canadian stores in 2010.
Breakthrough Andalay AC Panels are Safer, More Reliable and Simpler to Install
Andalay AC panels, developed by Akeena Solar in Silicon Valley, have integrated racking, wiring and grounding -- reducing the overall parts count by 80 percent and protecting against performance-threatening breakdowns that could happen with ordinary DC power systems.
Andalay panels also have built-in inverters that produce household AC power, so there is no high-voltage DC wiring. These safety and reliability benefits are achieved without compromising performance. In fact, Andalay AC panels produce 5 to 25 percent more energy output compared with ordinary DC solar panels. Because of the modular design of Andalay AC panels, homeowners could install a few panels now and gradually add on later, unlike DC systems that require a complete redesign when adding panels.
Ordinary DC solar power systems also require special installation skills. The innovations provided by Andalay's AC solar system deliver simplicity and safety so that for the first time, electricians, HVAC contractors and experienced do-it-yourselfers can install a solar power system without specialized training.
"Buying panels off the shelf at Lowe's offers solar options to homeowners that they didn't have," continued Cinnamon. "Homeowners now can get a system as small as one panel. With Andalay's safe household AC power design, they are the only real choice for do-it-yourselfers."
Participating Lowe's stores will stock the accessories required for installation, eliminating the need for do-it-yourselfers and contractors to pre-order components and enabling them to pick up what they need on the way to the installation.
About Akeena Solar, Inc.
Founded in 2001, Akeena Solar's philosophy is simple: We believe producing clean electricity directly from the sun is the right thing to do for our environment and economy. Akeena Solar has grown to become one of the nation's leading installers and manufacturers of solar power systems. Akeena Solar's revolutionary Andalay AC solar panels produce safe household AC power and have built-in racking, wiring, grounding and inverters. With 80% fewer parts and 5-25% better performance than ordinary DC panels, Andalay panels are an ideal solution for solar installers, trades workers and do-it-yourselfers. For more information on the company, visit www.akeena.com. Installers can also visit www.andalaysolar.com to learn more about the Andalay panels.

|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (February 2012)
A commissariat is the department of an army charged with the provision of supplies, both food and forage, for the troops. The supply of military stores such as ammunition is not included in the duties of a commissariat. In almost every army the duties of transport and supply are performed by the same corps of departmental troops. An officer of a commissariat is a commissary.
British Army[edit]
In the British Army, the Commissariat was a uniformed civilian service until 1869, when its officers transferred to the new Control Department as commissioned Army officers. The supply organization of the British Army went through a number of incarnations, including the Commissariat and Transport Department, Staff and Corps, before becoming the Army Service Corps in 1888.
In the "Major General's Song" in The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan, the Major-General boasts that when, among many other bits and pieces of seemingly elementary or irrelevant information, he "know(s) precisely what is meant by commissariat", he will be the best officer the army has ever seen (satirizing 19th century British officers' lack of concrete military knowledge).
Soviet Army and modern Russian Army[edit]
Military commissariats of the Soviet Army and modern Russian Army is а local military administrative agency that prepares and executes plans for military mobilization, maintains records on military manpower and economic resources available to the armed forces, provides pre-military training, drafts men for military service, organizes reserves for training, and performs other military functions at the local level.
Religious usage[edit]
Among Roman Catholic religious orders, the term Commissariat refers to a division of the Order which is a semi-autonomous body. It is considered less viable than a full Province, but with potential to develop into such, or it serves a group within the Order who are best served separately than in a Province into which they would otherwise be forced, e.g., due to language divisions. As with military usage, the Religious Superior of the division is referred to as the Commissary.
The term is most commonly used among Franciscan Orders.
See also[edit]
Commissariat is also a common last name within the Parsi community.[citation needed]

Springfield/Santa Cruz Box Score
Springfield, Mass. - February 21, 2014 - Springfield College and Concordia Irvine advanced to the championship game of the 27th Annual Volleyball Hall of Fame Morgan Classic in Blake Arena on Friday night. The host Pride knocked off UC Santa Cruz in four sets, while Concordia swept Princeton in the first semifinal.
Concordia Irvine 3, Princeton 0
Springfield, Mass. – February 21, 2014 – Aided by 11 kills from senior opposite hitter Harrison Carroll (Huntington Beach, Calif.), the Concordia University Eagles swept the Princeton University Tigers 3-0 (25-23, 25-18, 25-23) on Friday evening at Blake Arena in the first match of the 27th Annual Volleyball Hall of Fame Morgan Classic, hosted at Springfield College.
Concordia won by the scores of 25-23, 25-18, 25-23.
For the Tigers, who now stand at 1-6 following the loss, junior outside hitter Cody Kessel (Colorado Springs, Colo.) posted an incredible 26 kills on 38 attempts, hitting at a .553 clip. Senior setter Davis Wadell (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) tallied 24 assists on the day, while freshman setter Chris Kennedy (Playa Del Rey, Calif.) registered 14.
Complementing Carroll's 11 kills, classmate and middle blocker Mark Metrakos (Irvine, Calif.) posted 9 kills on 12 attempts, hitting .750 on the night, while senior outside hitter Naseri Tumanuvao (Long Beach, Calif.) tallied 8 kills and three digs in the victory. The Eagles' senior setter Kevin Fiske (Santa Ana, Calif.) posted 32 assists while senior libero Christopher Reames (Laguna Beach, Calif.) registered five digs on the night. With the win, Concordia improves to 13-3 overall on the season.
Springfield 3, UC Santa Cruz 1
Springfield, Mass - February 21, 2014 - Led by senior Ryan Malone (Chicopee, Mass.), the Springfield College men's volleyball team picked up a critical four-set win over UC Santa Cruz in the Volleyball Hall of Fame Morgan Classic on Friday night. Set scores in the match were 25-22, 25-15, 23-25, 25-21.
In a matchup of two of the top independent programs in Division III, tonight's result could prove to weight heavy when the field is selected for the NCAA Division III Championship this upcoming April. The Pride improve to 12-6 in the win, while the Banana Slugs even their record to 7-7.
It also marked the fifth-straight year that Springfield has won a match in the Classic, which is regarded as the premier men's collegiate tournament on the East Coast.
Malone had the best match of his career tonight as he produced 17 kills at a .444 clip to go along with nine digs, four aces, and three blocks. Angel Perez (Naranjito, Puerto Rico) added 12 kills, and Nick Ferry (Valencia, Calif.) registered a match-high 11 digs. Jimmy O'Leary (Reading, Pa.) notched seven blocks and Luis Garcia Rubio (Bayamon, Puerto Rico) dished out 47 helpers.
Santa Cruz was paced by Jake Landel (Long Beach, Calif.), who tallied 13 kills in the loss. Blake Chadwick (San Diego, Calif.) dished out 38 assists, and Harley Frost (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) chipped in eight kills.
Springfield got things started on the right foot, jumping out to a 12-7 lead following a Santa Cruz hitting error. The visitors answered with a 7-2 push to take their first lead of the game at 14-13, only to have Perez side out to even things at 14. A monster solo block from Sean Zuvich (San Pedro, Calif.) and an ace from Keaton Pieper (Dallas, Texas) gave the Pride a 19-16 advantage heading into the late stages of the first set. After exchanging points, a Malone kill from the back row gave the Pride a 21-18 lead and O'Leary later registered a kill to seal the first set for the Pride, 25-22.
Behind the tremendous serving from Malone, the Pride raced out to an 8-2 start thanks to a pair of aces from the senior. Springfield, which hit .417 in the frame, continued to keep up the pressure, using a Perez kill to take a 18-9 lead. With the score at 22-14 Pride, Malone delivered another one of his four kills in the second set to give Springfield a 23-14 advantage. Sean Peterson (Norfolk, Va.) combined with Malone for a block as Springfield closed out the set, 25-15.
Down 10-5 early in the third set, Springfield managed to grind itself back into the contest, as a big swing from Luis Vega (Corozal, Puerto Rico) brought the hosts within 17-16. UC Santa Cruz answered right back as kills from Thomas Hassenbein (Moorpark, Calif.) and Jorges Reyes (Chula Vista, Calif.) gave the visitors a 19-16 advantage. Down 24-21 late in the third set, a Santa Cruz service error and kill from Perez forced the Banana Slugs into a timeout. However, an ensuing Springfield service ace gave Santa Cruz the 25-23 win.
Santa Cruz carried that momentum into the fourth, using a back-to-back Hassenbein blocks to earn a 6-2 lead. Springfield did not back down and eventually regained a 13-12 lead following consecutive O'Leary aces. The lead grew to 17-13 on another Malone kill, and would later balloon to five on a Vega and O'Leary block. The visitors got within 23-20, but Malone sealed the deal on the four-set win with a thunderous swing from the pin to finish off the match.

Hi all,
I just wanted to see if any other Wizards season ticket holders wanted to meet up at the draft party tomorrow at 6 PM. We do have the VIP access to get complimentary food and beverage. Cervezas and other alcoholic drinks will cost extra.
I also have one spot open for VIP access available. You can get free dinner and get with other season ticket holders who are loyal and passionate Wizards fans. Just an fyi on last year's event, but last year, the food was down to slim pickings soon after the 6th pick (which happened to be Jan Vesely).
If anyone wants my extra VIP slot, please go ahead and send me an email to wizfan06 at gmail dot com. Thanks ladies and gents.
