Thompson Hits 24 as Men Win Again
News Release Date:
Wednesday, November 25
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Freshman guard LuQuam Thompson scored 24 points and grabbed seven rebounds to spark Whitman College to an 86-69 victory over West Coast Baptist in non-conference men's basketball action Wednesday night in Lancaster, Calif.
Whitman improved to 3-2 on the young season while the Eagles slipped to 2-4.

One night after pestering Cal Tech into 37 turnovers, Whitman wreaked even more havoc on the Eagles, converting 44 opposition turnovers into 45 Missionary points.
Justin Artis, a junior guard, paced the defense with five of Whitman's 18 steals. He also contributed 12 points at the offensive end.

Daniel Davidson, a junior forward, made 10 of 12 free throws en route to 13 points and seven rebounds. Freshman wing Brady Brent hit a pair of 3-pointers and finished with 10 points.
Whitman led by as many as 14 points late the first half and took a 43-32 advantage into intermission. The Missionaries then opened the second stanza on an 8-0 run to the break the game open.
A pair of Artis free throws gave Whitman its biggest lead of the night at 76-51 with about eight minutes left to play.
The Eagles were not quite grounded, however. With Whitman up 78-56, the home team ran off 11 straight points to slice its deficit in half with more than three minutes still remaining.
A Brandon Shaw free throw and field goals by Thompson and freshman Drew Raher helped Whitman regain control and finish the night on an 8-2 run.
The two teams battled to a 44-44 standoff on the backboards. West Coast Baptist shot 43.1 percent from the floor -- a few percentage points higher than a Whitman team that took 16 more shots on the night.
The Missionaries complete their three-game swing through California on Saturday with an 11 a.m. game at the University of Redlands.

The elections in Israel are coming on the 10th of February and I've been doing my research since November. The war, became a major issue for me, come January, and any party advocating or disregarding it is erased, as far as I'm concerned. So to keep all you concerned outsiders up to date with what's going on with Israeli left wing politics, here's the list of my conclusions:
- Meretz – This is where the majority of leftists go. This majority is confused and finds it hard to take a stand on issues. When the onslaught on Gaza began they were for it and then decided to humanely change their mushy little minds. Some of you may have heard me use the term "centrist jello"- I was referring to Meretz.
- "The Greens" – Completely concentrated on issues of the environment, while their head is drowning in building permit scandals. Nothing to say about the attack on Gaza, by the way.
- "Green Leaf" – Founded on the idea of legalizing Marijuana, under the wonderful premise of "my body-my choice". After some research, it's pretty obvious that the party is run by a bunch of incompetents, that don't have a clear view on anything, including Marijuana. Their new head said, in the forums, that he's "for the operation in Gaza", even though #2 (whom by many is considered #1) is apposed.
- HADASH – An acronym for "The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality". I actually heard about HADASH for the first time, in the "Green Leaf" forum, when one of the users, warned the party to "get your shit together or you'll loose your votes to The Greens and HADASH". And so they did. HADASH's platform is about equality for the Arab population in Israel, labor rights, women's rights and the ever pressing issue of a two state solution. They were the first party to object to the onslaught and the only party to protest it, as a party- in the streets with the people. They live by their motto of coexistence, as they are a "mixed" party (Arabs and Jews).
So HADASH- clearly:
Strengthening HADASH's Hand
Yesterday I posted about the "Strengthening the IDF's Hand". I thought it to be the injustice of the day, but another injustice has occurred yesterday, and since it has to do with HADASH, this is a great time to show-and-tell:
What you're seeing is the front page of "Haaretz". The circled title (to the best of my translation) is:
"In Arabic HADASH is with Hamas, in Hebrew it's against the war."
The article is referring to HADASH's two sites; The Hebrew site and the Arabic site. Apparently there's an article on the Arabic site that quotes (translated by Ha'aretz):
"We are with the resistance everywhere."
Even though Yoav Stern, the author of this article, states:
"The term "resistance" – muqawama in Arabic – can be used to describe nonviolent resistance."
The article is focused on a none-existent discrepancy and, of course, HADASH's "support of Hamas". This is just a suggestion, but maybe Ha'aretz should practice what it preaches and publish the same content for its own bi-lingual platforms (compare my translation to the title of the article published in the paper, and the English version of the title published in the English Ha'aretz, for example). And just to make sure my own integrity is not in question, I sent the link to my own Arab friends and they all say that the man who said these words, is known for the support of the non-violent palestinian resistance, and there's no question as to what he meant.
HADASH Against Racism and Fascism
Up until today, I wasn't planning on announcing my support for Hadash in public, but today, I'm truly proud of my party. If you've been reading my posts, you might have stumbled upon the following quote:
"…In the next Knesset, we will pass a citizenship law that will prevent the disloyalty of some of Israel's Arabs…"
This atrocious racism was uttered by Avigdor Lieberman, leader (in the Orwellian sense of the word) of the far-right party, Israel Beitenu. This man is definitely the poster boy for nationalism, and for a minute there, he was Deputy Prime Minister. His latest election video can only be described as racist.
HADASH has joined the Arab parties in campaigning straight-forwardly against Lieberman ("the symbol of the worrying phenomenon of racism, washing over Israel" Head of HADASH) They've come out with a new slogan:
"HADASH – The Opposite of Lieberman."

Catford redevelopment - have your say on Lewisham Council's big plans
3:40pm Thursday 7th March 2013 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
CATFORD could change for good over the next decade, and Lewisham Council wants your comments on the plans.
From the road networks to the shopping centre and the rapidly-emptying housing estate that looms above it, the council hopes to transform the town centre.
One of the biggest planned changes is the redevelopment of the shopping centre and Milford Towers estate by demolishing the buildings and rebuilding them with a new scheme featuring a flagship supermarket, new ground floor retail space, an improved street market and up to 200 homes.
Council services currently based at Laurence House are set to relocate to the civic centre over the road, leaving the old building free for redevelopment including a further 250 new homes along with retail, community or leisure space.
And large scale redevelopment is also planned for the Plassy Road island which could see more shops alongside up to 350 homes.
Elsewhere, the former Greyhound Stadium site, now owned by the Greater London Authority looks set to finally be developed while the Wickes and Halfords site could also be used for a mixed use scheme.
Among the road changes being considered are widening Sangley Road and simplifying the pedestrian crossings at the junction between Catford Road and Rushey Green.
Deputy Mayor of Lewisham Councillor Alan Smith said: "The council wants to hear how local residents, businesses and employees would like to see Catford redeveloped over the next ten years.
"These plans will look at everything - housing, traffic, transport, shops and public spaces.
"They will quite literally shape the future Catford Town centre, so it's really important we hear from everyone it might affect."
A consultation on the plan, which could be formally adopted by the council later in the year, runs until April 5.
To have your say, email firstname.lastname@example.com, visit lewisham.gov.uk or write to planning policy, Laurence House, 1 Catford Rd, SE6 4RU.

In case you haven't had your fill of seeing the bond between black servants and their white employers on screen, Master Harold... and the Boys, starring Ving Rhames, will see its release in theaters this May, followed by a home video run beginning July 5th.
Based on the 1982 play of the same name by Athol Fugard, Master Harold... is set in South Africa at the beginning of apartheid and tells the story of Hally (Freddie Highmore), a vulnerable white teenager torn between the love of his racist, alcoholic father, and his love for Sam (Rhames), a black waiter in his mother's tea room. A far cry from the no-nonsense, heroic figure Rhames played in the film Rosewood over a decade ago? Perhaps.
Apparently Master Harold... was completed nearly two years ago, but was waiting to be scheduled for release. The film is directed by Lonny Price and also stars Patrick Mofokeng and Jennifer Steyn.

Sorry, Jug. I'm just tired of these variations on Uncle Tom and Mammy. I don't care how awesome the play was, it's still conciliatory racial propaganda.
Why doesn't anyone ever talk about how old black men's familial relationships with young black men?
Blu Topaz: I'm not afraid of being knee-jerk in these situations because the industry has never failed to disappoint.
Jug | April 28, 2011 6:01 AM
@sonofbaldwin-I hear ya. But for me, it becomes propaganda, often by default, when the stories are one way, or the types of films are extremely repetitive. I can take something on it's own merit, good or bad. But once that's ALL that's told, then it becomes a problem. I LOVE me some Nino Brown, but if all we get is black gangster criminals, well you know the rest. The converse is true as well, for the super upbeat, faith based joints-they never really tend to dig into human machinations for behavior. It's just "I'm good or bad & I didn't pray hard enough". I'm oversimplifying but anyway...
Basically, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, because there are a great many films by black artists you could make the same argument about, even though the quality is very good. "Why does it have to be black black black" sort of thing. And that's why I said I don't know how the movie adaptation will turn out because stage to screen projects often get some sort of "paring down" so it's a lot clearer who to root for, root against, how to feel, etc. I learn more from murkiness in a project because my life is murky, I do the good and the bad, and I tend to see that more from indie films & stage.
Now, will I rush out to see this version of MASTER HAROLD, probably not-mostly because it's not where my headspace is right now. But I won't dog the movie because of it's subject matter because my political yearnings happen to need more.
On a side note, I agree with you wholeheartedly about the servant thing, etc. Just tired of seeing that as "the story to tell about humanity" because there's alwaaays a little celebration of that time period, and trust, it ain't for US LOL
BluTopaz | April 27, 2011 11:47 AM
Funny you say that, because i was starting to wonder if i was having knee jerks to these types of films and not giving this one a chance. Still don't like the little White boy getting equal billing as Ving though.
Jug | April 27, 2011 9:35 AM
Sorry sonofbaldwin, I can't go there with you on this one, as it is an amazing play. Have no idea how the movie will turn out, but they play is awesome. Originated by Zakes Mokae, Željko Ivanek & Danny Glover, it really deals with the fact that Apartheid (or as it's known in the US Jim Crow) destroys all individuals engaged in it, regardless of color. And to a larger extent, the systems we make for ourselves, that are built on a haves/have nots foundation, all chip away at our humanity daily.
Definitely not Driving Miss Daisy II, but that corny, ABC Family poster suuurre makes it look like it don't it LOL

Terry Frei off the Denver Post hockey beat
For the record, I like Terry Frei's hockey coverage. But, love him or hate him he represents the continuing shrinking coverage of hockey by the Denver Post since the closure of the Rocky Mountain News. Editorials can and will be filled with new media like Mile High Hockey but beat reporting and asking the questions is still in the hands of our local sports media. So now, it's up to Adrian Dater and Mike Chambers to ask the tough questions. And of course Julie Browman and the hard hitting rhetorical questions from Alittude Entertainment.

Types of First-Trimester Pregnancy Loss
The term miscarriage is fairly general for the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy in the first trimester, but some subtypes exist (note that some of these can also be diagnosed in the second trimester). Some miscarriages will not fall into any of these categories.
Signs of Early Miscarriage
Most miscarriage symptoms are not definitive indicators of pregnancy loss, but possible signs include vaginal bleeding in pregnancy, cramping, and loss of pregnancy symptoms.
- What Does a Miscarriage Look Like?
- Bleeding in Early Pregnancy
- Cramping in Pregnancy
- Loss of Pregnancy Symptoms
- What Happens During a Miscarriage?
- What Do My hCG Levels Mean?
General Concerns About Diagnosis and Recovery
Your doctor should give you some guidance on what to expect from the testing process and ultimately the treatment, but here is some general information about diagnosis and physical recovery from first-trimester miscarriage.
- When to Go to the Emergency Room
- How Doctors Diagnose Miscarriages
- What Can an Ultrasound Tell Me About Miscarriage?
- How Do Doctors Treat Miscarriage After Diagnosis?
- Why Do Some Women Choose Natural Miscarriage?
- Do I Need a RhoGAM Shot?
- Does D & C Increase Risk in Future Pregnancies?
- What Should I Expect from Physical Recovery?
- How Long Will the Bleeding Last?
- When Will My Period Come Back?
- When Is It Safe to Have Sex After a Miscarriage?
- When Can I Try Again?
First-Trimester Miscarriage Causes
Doctors believe most first-trimester miscarriages happen because of factors outside anyone's control, and rarely can anyone pinpoint the cause of a specific miscarriage. Doctors do have some ideas about possible causes, however.
- What Causes Miscarriages?
- Why Do Chromosomal Abnormalities Cause Miscarriages?
- Can Food Poisoning Cause a Miscarriage?
- Does Coffee Cause Miscarriages?
- Does Fever Cause Miscarriages?
- Can Viral or Bacterial Infections Cause Miscarriages?
Preventing First-Trimester Miscarriage
Most of the time, you cannot prevent a miscarriage from happening. Most miscarriages happen for reasons out of anyone's control. That said, occasionally some lifestyle modifications can put you in a lower risk category. Find out about what does and doesn't decrease your risk.
- What's My Risk of Miscarriage?
- What Are the Main Risk Factors for Miscarriage?
- Can Low-Dose Aspirin Prevent Miscarriage?
- Why Do Moms Over 35 Have Higher Pregnancy Loss Risk?
- Does Strenuous Exercise Cause Miscarriages?
- Do Rh Negative Women Have Higher Miscarriage Risks?
- Does Second-Hand Smoke Cause Miscarriages?
- Are Cats Safe in Pregnancy?

EverBank's MarketSafe Evolving Economies CD - Is It a Good Deal?
Update 10/3/2013: EverBank is offering another chance to open a MarketSafe Evolving Economies CD. The new deadline for funding is October 9, 2013.
EverBank is again offering a new MarketSafe CD. Its latest version is called the MarketSafe(R) Evolving Economies CD, and it's available through September 11, 2013. It's not the typical CD in that there is no guaranteed rate of return. However, it does guarantee that you will not lose any principal over the 5 years if you avoid early withdrawals.
If you're comparing this CD to investing in currency ETFs or mutual funds, the main advantage is the principal protection. However, you pay a price for that protection in the loss of some of the potential upside performance of the currencies. One change from past MarketSafe CDs is that this one supposedly offers more upside potential and a smaller chance of 0% return.
Here's what EverBank announced in its August 15th press release:
EverBank announced today the launch of the five-year MarketSafe® Evolving Economies CD, which combines the market potential of the Colombian peso, Turkish lira, Indian rupee and Mexican peso. The CD offers 100 percent principal protection and a unique jump-note structure that ensures an upside payment of at least 15 percent if the final return of the CD is more than 0 percent.
EverBank is highlighting the 15% minimum upside potential. This almost sounds like they're guaranteeing a 5-year return of 15% (close to a 3% annual return). But it only guarantees this if the currency indices outperform the dollar. If the currency indices underperform the dollar, your return falls to 0%.
EverBank is also highlighting that there's no limit on the CD's upside potential. It should be noted that the market performance is based on the average of 10 semi-annual price dates. That essentially has the effect of limiting the upside potential.
EverBank's CD Terms Sheet has the details. Here's a summary:
- Funding Deadline: 9/11/2013
- Issue Date: 9/23/2013
- Maturity Date: 9/21/2018
- Minimum Deposit: $1,500
- Reference Index: Fixing price of the 4 currencies: Colombian peso (COP), Indian rupee (INR), Mexican peso (MXN), Turkish lira (TRY)
- CD Term: 5 years; early withdrawal is not permitted
- Fees: no account fees
- Pricing Dates: 10 semi-annual price dates
- Participation Factor: 100%
- Market Upside Payment: If market performance is greater than 0%, the market upside payment is calculated as: Participation factor * the greater of: 15% or CD performance
- CD Final Payment: 100% of your deposited principal plus the Market Upside Payment OR 100% of your deposited principal if no gain in market performance
Important Downsides:
Unlike most traditional CDs, this MarketSafe CD allows no early withdrawal. If you die, your heirs can take an early withdrawal but there is no principal protection. Here's how EverBank describes this:
Except in the event of death or adjudication of incompetence of the holder of the MarketSafe CD, you may not withdraw any part of the CD prior to maturity. If you do withdraw early, even if that is due to the death or adjudicated incompetency of the holder of the CD, you will NOT receive Principal Protection and will NOT benefit from any upside potential of the Reference Index, experiencing a loss of principal as an early withdrawal charge.
If held outside of an IRA, the tax consequences of this CD seem complicated. It appears you are taxed yearly even though the rate of return is unknown until maturity. Here are the details as described in section 5.2.13 of the EverBank's Terms & Conditions document:
Tax Considerations. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, EverBank intends to treat a MarketSafe CD as a "contingent payment debt instrument" subject to taxation under the "noncontingent bond method." Accordingly, a U.S. holder of a MarketSafe CD will be required to accrue interest income on a MarketSafe CD in its gross income each year on a constant yield to maturity based on a comparable yield in accordance with the original issue discount rules (subject to adjustment to reflect differences between actual and projected payments). The depositor should also be aware that, for purposes of calculating the interest, if any, payable on the MarketSafe CD(s) at maturity, appreciation will be determined based upon the Product Calculation Rules noted in the Term Sheet, and treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as ordinary income, not capital gains.
Is It a Good Deal?
There's a chance that the return for this 5 year CD will be 0%. The other possibilities are a 15% return and a return above 15%. I don't have any real sense of these probabilities. So I can't say if this is a good deal. Perhaps if the CD had a minimum return guarantee higher than zero percent, it might be a good deal.
Other EverBank Accounts
EverBank also offers World Currency CDs which unlike the MarketSafe CDs don't offer any principal protection. Please refer to my EverBank World Currency CD review for more details about these CDs. The financial crisis that hit Iceland in 2008 showed the risks of investing in these CDs. I have more details about these risks in this Foreign CD review.
If you prefer to stay with conventional deposit accounts, EverBank is still offering 1.10% for the first 6 months on its Yield Pledge Checking and Money Market Account (up to $100K on the checking and $50K on the MMA). The ongoing rates are not the best, but they have remained fairly competitive. EverBank does have some nice account features such as its online check deposit.
FDIC/Financial Overview
EverBank is one of the larger internet banks with $18.31 billion in assets. The bank has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 4 stars (out of 5) with a Texas Ratio of 24.70% (average) based on March 2013 data. Please refer to our financial overview of EverBank for more details. EverBank has been a FDIC member since 1998 (FDIC Certificate # 34775).

I clicked on Macitosh HD and that is my only option on erase. If I click on the HD above it - name 149.1 GB and a bunch of numbers - the volume format is now active. but I am not sure if that is where I need to be. I can then select a volume and I also see security options and erase. there are 5 volumes to choose form. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help! I am planning on giving it to a great non-profit - youth coming off the street and trying to find their place in the work world.

East St. Louis Senior High School is known for having students with exceptional athletic abilities. However, students and school officials alike hope the school becomes known for its academically gifted students as well.
"East St. Louis was always an athletic school," Kay Rhodes said. "We want to try to get it as well known for its academics." Rhodes is a mathematics content leader for East St. Louis District 189.
A group of more than a dozen students are serving as advanced placement "ambassadors" this semester to spread information about the district's advanced placement courses.
Advanced placement, or AP, classes are college-level curriculum offered at high schools. Upon completion of AP courses, students can opt to take an exam, and if they score high enough, they can earn college credit for the course.
Five AP ambassadors, all East St. Louis High seniors, visited classrooms recently to talk about the advantages of taking AP classes with underclassmen.
Senior Kyron Watson, a football player, said AP classes will prepare you for college.
"It just gets you ready to study and be ready to be a college student," he said. "It's not really about grades. It's about preparing for college."
"It helps you prepare for college and manage your time," senior Tonisha Cox said. "It also helps you with your GPA (grade point average), and it helps you look better as an athlete." Cox is on the school's varsity girls basketball team.
Math teacher Jill Wolfmeier also encouraged her Algebra 2 students -- all sophomores -- to take AP classes. "It's getting you ready and conditioned for those college courses," she said. "You feel like a pro when you're already in college."
"You just boost your chances of being successful in college by taking these classes," Rhodes added.
Antoinette Johnson, an English language arts content area specialist for District 189, and Rhodes talked to the underclassmen about the financial benefits of AP classes as well.
"You can get some classes waived at the college or university level," Johnson said.
Last year, Rhodes said two students took the AP English exam and didn't have a high enough score to earn college credit. However, both students had the freshman English requirement waived by their respective colleges.
"It will save you some money," Kyron emphasized to the underclassmen.
Senior Danielle Bellmon said East St. Louis High students are fortunate the district covers the $89 exam fee for students interested in taking the AP exam at the end of the year.
A report released Tuesday shows Illinois at the national average for high school graduates scoring high enough for college credit on exams, but low-income and black students still lag in performance and participation in the college prep courses. East St. Louis School District officials want to change that statistic in part with its AP ambassadors.
The new program launched this year, Rhodes said, aims to increase enrollment in AP courses.
Faculty members nominated students to serve as ambassadors and some students volunteered for the program. In all, Rhodes said 15 students in 10th through 12th grade were selected to be AP ambassadors.
Kyron said he wanted to serve as an AP ambassador to be a role model to younger students. "I hope I got through to a lot of kids," he said.
Danielle said she hopes to encourage underclassmen to focus on academics in high school in preparation for college.
"I want to help other people gain the knowledge I have," Tonisha said. "I want to be an asset to others."
Senior Myesha Thomas said she wants to show other students what a "good opportunity" AP courses are.
The AP ambassadors' recent visit to classrooms was timed to occur right before course registration, when current high school students select what classes they want to take next school year.
The AP ambassadors talked to students at the district's Ninth Grade Center last month and plan to visit the district's middle schools next month.
"We are trying to build that vertical ladder with students getting involved earlier and earlier," Rhodes said.
The AP ambassadors will also lead a panel discussion with the newly enrolled students and their parents in late March or early April.
"We want to make sure parents understand the commitment the students are making," Rhodes said.
District 189 has expanded its AP course offerings over the last several years, Rhodes said. Two years ago, the district only offered one AP course. Last year, the district added another class.
This year, the district now has six AP classes -- AP Calculus, AP English Language and Composition, AP World History, AP U.S. History, AP English Language and Literature and AP Statistics.
"We are really excited because we are really building this program," Johnson told underclassmen. "We want to make sure you guys have the opportunity students at other schools have."
Belleville School District 201 Superintendent Jeff Dosier said students at Belleville East and West high schools have 10 different AP classes available to them including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Spanish and AP Graphic Design.
Currently, 314 East St. Louis High students are enrolled in the six AP classes at the school. The most popular class is AP Statistics with 73 students enrolled in that course.
Myesha praised AP Statistics. "It's a good class if you want to go into business," she said.
Danielle told underclassmen English AP classes aren't much different than regular English courses except you do a lot of work independently.
The last two school years, Rhodes said, District 189 has received a $50,000 grant to enhance the district's AP program from the Illinois State Board of Education College and Career Readiness Division. The grant money is used to cover additional training for teachers and school counselors.

Lance Pugmire has written a very good article on the matter of fighters trying to make a weigh well below what is safe by any reasonable standards.
We've discussed this before, and I among many have argued that the custom, habit, expectation, or whatever you want to call it, has gotten way out of hand. The article describes some apparently customary practices that are nothing short of unbelievable, and "heroic" only in that same way that someone might think runway models are "heroic" in starving themselves into skeletal acceptability.
I, for one, am very glad to see this
This quote is a good lead-in question, and then I'll give the link:
"It's a medical crisis," said Dr. Paul Wallace, a California State Athletic Commission ringside doctor. "There's not a credible diet that says you can lose 10% of your weight in a month, much less one day.
"But it's not a sport crisis because people have seen boxers like Fernando Vargas, Roberto Duran, Ricky Hatton take off massive weight, still come back and give a good fight and ask, 'How bad can it be?' "

Melissa. Cooking. Running. Living life full on.
So, yeah. Strange emotional perspective check. I was on my run, coming to the end of lap 2, when I passed by my house and noticed that my front door was open. I knew right away it was the strong winds that had done it - not the first time this has happened. I veered off up my driveway to shut it before it hit me: Andy had probably run out.
I raced into the house and started calling for her, looking everywhere and behind and under everything. No luck. I ran back out to the street, yelling her name. Up and down the main road I went, getting more panicked all the while. Back in the house for another check, back outside for more frantic searching. This went on for a good 10 minutes.
I thought of scenarios: maybe a dog had got to her, maybe she wandered into a neighbor's yard and they took her in, never to return her, maybe she got run over. I was utterly distraught. I couldn't fathom how I was going to tell Steve, who loves her more than words, that I had lost her. I had lost our Andy.
I resigned myself to calling him to inform him and to see if he had any advice on what to do. He picked up, I choked out hello and just as I was telling him that she was gone, I stepped outside the front door once again to scan the street and she came trotting up on my left side, through our little flower bed, "MROW"-ing quite loudly and looking fairly freaked out herself.
My relief was palpable. I grabbed her up and brought her in and pet her and pet her and told her not to EVER DO THAT AGAIN. After Steve made sure I was okay and she was okay, we hung up and I went back out to do my other 10 miles.
When I came in, she wouldn't leave me alone. That's when I took all the photos above. I already had my phone in hand and when I knelt down on the stairs to pet her, she flopped over and posed and purred and put her face close to mine (she doesn't normally) and head bonked me all over even though I was sweaty and gross.
I really thought I lost her, our beautiful Andy. She is our friend, companion, and playmate and she shares this sweet life with us. I would never have forgiven myself. I will never go out without locking up tight ever again. I have to look after our girl better than that. ♥

Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. (AST)
is a leading provider of equity compensation plan administration.
AST acquired Wachovia Bank's Employee Shareholder Services Group
in December 2005 & formed a division called AST Equity Plan Solutions
(AST EPS), which is led by a group of industry experts.
Several factors differentiate us from other
providers of stock plan administration.
For one, we are broker independent; most
other providers are divisions of brokerage firms, which means
that both plan sponsors and participants are required to execute
trades and maintain brokerage accounts with them.
AST EPS can work with any broker you wish.
Another way we distinguish ourselves within the industry
is through our ability to partner with your other benefit
providers. When you offer your employees a variety of benefits,
each available through different providers, they have to access
as many Web sites as you have providers in order to manage
their entire benefits package. AST EPS, can
work with your retirement plan, health and welfare and deferred
compensation providers to provide your participants comprehensive
benefits information access.
With a full suite of plan sponsor and participant advantages,
as well as the capability to administer even the most recently
adopted types of equity products, AST EPS,
represents your best choice for outsourcing your plans.
Headquartered in New York City's Financial District,
AST EPS runs its administration operations
from our legacy office in Philadelphia, which is also where
its client relationship team is based.

The Local Spin: Music is where it's atMay 01,2013By Ali Flewelling
Arts Correspondent
I remember discovering the power of music at the time I was a young child. Singing has been a passion of mine since I first got the courage to perform a solo on "Take the A Train" at my middle school chorus concert. I had always been in chorus but I didn't really think much of my voice until that moment. I was nervous, a feeling I still get to this day. But, no matter how nervous I get or how small or big the crowd, I have always had support. Support from my family, my music teachers, my friends and all of you who read my column.
Music is a very powerful thing and if you let it, it can take you places you never thought possible.
I know my passion is something I share with all of you and with my fellow local musicians. So, not to delay any further, I will tell you where you can find them this week.
Tonight, John Popper of the well-known group, Blues Traveler, will take the stage of the Paramount Theatre in downtown Rutland. I have to commend our own Jim Sabataso for getting a great interview with him and giving us a nice sneak preview of what this evening's show will bring. Along with performing some of our favorite Blues
Traveler tunes, Popper will be tearing it up on harmonica and sharing some of his stories about life on the road.
Popper has recently become very involved in the local music scene, playing shows in Vermont and making guest appearances with local bands. Tonight you can check it out for yourself right here in Rutland starting at 8 p.m.
Tickets are on sale from $24.50 to $29.50 and can be purchased at www.paramountvt.org.
On Friday, the Tinmouth Old Firehouse Concert Series continues. Vermont vocalist Jenni Johnson will be in town to perform jazz, blues and funk. The venue has seating for 80 people and tickets are $10 at the door. A portion of the proceeds goes toward maintaining the building. Contact Jo Reynolds at 802-446-3457 for additional information.
Also on Friday, Ladies Night Out Women's Chorus will be at the Brandon Town Hall on Conant Square in Brandon for a 7:30 p.m. show. The group of 20 singers presents "Songs for Children of All Ages." The chorus, which was founded in 1987, is directed by Lucy Allen Tenenbaum and will be accompanied by Jacob McLaughlin on piano and
Glendon Ingalls on bass and trumpet. The group will also perform at the Pittsfield Federated Church on Route 100 in Pittsfield for a 3 p.m. Saturday performance. Shows are open to the public and a free will offering will take place at both. I urge everyone to check out one of these performances, and there will be additional shows next week as well!
On Saturday, local rocker Duane Carleton will be at the Foundry at Summit Pond for a 4 p.m. happy hour. This Killington Road venue just isn't ready to let go of winter, and as long as they continue to provide us with good live music, we don't mind one bit!
Duane will also be at his usual Sunday spot, JAX on Killington Road for a 9:30 p.m. locals' night performance.
On Sunday, Immaculate Heart of Mary on Lincoln Avenue in Rutland hosts "An Evening of Sacred Chant Music" at 7 p.m. Various Rutland area choruses and soloists will be on site and a freewill offering will be collected.
On a final note, I just wanted to let everyone know of some new album releases. Divine Art Records, located on Country Club Road in Brandon, has recently produced albums for New England native Elliott Schwartz and Swiss composer Thomas Fortmann. The label specializes in modern music and rediscovered masterpieces. For additional information, or to sample one of these albums, contact Steven Sutton at email@example.com.

Unity 4 : Movement & Animation Scripting Demo
In this example, I decided to use Javascript as opposed to C# to do the scripting in Unity 4.
J Dilla – One Instrumental | Cinema 4D/ After Effects Sound Animation from Kojo Opuni on Vimeo.
Here is my own take greyscalegorilla's sound effector animation. For my background, I decided to use Plexus 2. I have a Plexus-less background in another animation that I'll upload later to youtube.
For the music, I used a sample of the great J Dilla's One Instrumental from his Welcome 2 Detroit album.
After completing the sphere animation controlled by the Dilla sample in Cinema 4D, I rendered the animation to be imported to After Effects for compositing.
In After Effects, I set up a solid layer where I added the Plexus 2 effect. In Plexus 2, I imported an exploding cube animation that I created from cinema 4d as an obj sequence.
Once the sequence was imported, I added a Plexus noise effector plus a points, lines, facets, beams, and triangulation renderers.
As far as the sphere animation, it was already in sync with the dilla wav sample, but I wanted the audio to also affect the effects (plexus 2, Frishluft – Depth of Field) that I was using in After Effects. So, I decided to use Trapcode Sound Keys. Once the Dilla sample was applied to Sound Keys, I used Javascript and AE Expressions to have the sound affect the opacity of the plexus object, the noise amplitude of the plexus noise effector, and the radius of the Frishluft Depth of Field.

At the moment, I'm in the process of rendering the scenes from Adelphi. Considering that I'm not blessed with a render farm & the graphics card in my macbook recently burned out, it may take some time. Below are some screenshots of Adelphi built in Cinema 4D & composited in After Effects:

/*It's been awhile since I've last written in my blog. At the moment, I working on my ITP Thesis which is a series of 3D Animations. I will write more about the inspiration for it when I have more time to play in this space. I'm also brushing up on my Unity 3D, Cinema 4D, Maya, Java, C++, Objective-C, and Javascript skills when I have a moment. As far as this blog, a revamp is long overdue, and I promise to update it more with my little side projects. So, without further ado, below is a progress report for my thesis. More to come at the same bat channel*/
Since February, I've been struggling with the story and the interactive elements of my animations. After brief meeting with Marina Zurkow and Georgia Krantz, I had a better sense of direction. Both of them encouraged me to focus on figuring out the story that I wished to tell as well as my intentions for my audience in terms of a response . Focus on the story and not worry so much about the ideal interactive element(s) yet – that would (hopefully) come later.
So, for quite some time, I focused on the moments that stayed with me after the passing of my little brother as well as the formative stops along the journey that shaped me from that moment of loss to the present day. The more and more I thought about this journey – The more and more I felt that this story was one that resonated with me, but I questioned whether or not the story would connect with my intended audience. I felt that I was walking the fine line with a story that was personal but one that my audience would not be able to relate to in the end.
So, after a marathon shower session (some of my best ideas come in the shower), I decided to frame my journey within the context of 3 separate myths. One myth would revolve around loss while the others would follow the themes of being lost and then found. Even now, I debating whether or not the narrative will be either linear or non-linear, but I will figure that out very soon.
After a bit of soul searching and writing, the story of the first animation came to me. At the moment, it is tentatively called – The Myth of Myles & Selym. The myth is one of loss, so I looked to other myths about loss and separation as inspiration such as the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. I also wanted to tinker with the concepts of the call to the quest, a goddess walking among us in the guise of an old woman, choice, thresholds, and threshold guardians. Here is a synopsis of the 1st animation:
// Beginning of Story
Centuries ago the world below was covered in boundless green but now the world is covered by the infinite blue ocean. Far above in the clouds at the end and the edge of the known world, there exists the floating city of Semele. Since it is believed that no land exists below and many dangers are hidden in the infinite blue, it is forbidden to leave the city. So, no flying crafts of any sort exist. In this city live two brothers, Myles and Selym. The two brothers are a contradiction because they seem so different but they are the same in many subtle ways. The older brother, Myles, is happy and content with his life in Semele for the city represents a safe harbor from the dangers of the world found in the infinite blue – the unknown is seen as a danger. The younger brother, Myles, appreciates all the comforts that Semele provides, but he sees Semele as a silvery city trapped within a golden cage – a city barring him from the thrill of the unknown and the possibilities of new lands beyond the infinite blue.
On a day when the sun reunited with the moon, Myles & Selym stumbled upon an old woman that was looking for a 'missing one in a golden pair'. The old woman appears to speak in riddles, but Myles & Selym were able to deduce that the old woman was looking for a missing gold earring. In time, the two brothers find the earring.
The old woman is elated with the brother's discovery and to show her thanks – the old woman gives both Myles & Selym each a gift. She gives Myles an embroidered black book with empty pages (modeled after the black journal I wrote in to cope with the loss of my brother) and Selym a small box with numerous knobs (an object modeled after the sound mixer that my brother owned). When Myles asks the woman the purpose of his gift, the woman smiles and says that the black book is a map and that Myles must fill the pages with his own words to find his way. Myles is confused by the old woman's response, but he does not question her further. Selym then questions the old woman about the nature of his gift. The old woman smiles and tells Selym that his object is called a mixer once used for sound, and it's an artifact from a time long ago. She also explains that her gift is a key; but, as far as a lock, Selym would have to find it himself.
After her explanation, the old woman turns around and tells the brothers that she must leave or she will be late. As she walks away, Myles calls out to the woman and asks her where she is from because he has never seen this woman before in his life in Semele. The old woman laughs and says that she is from the Undying Lands beyond the Infinite Blue. Dumbfounded, Selym shouts out to the woman and asks her whether or not she is telling the truth and whether or not more lands exists beyond the infinite blue. The old woman is some distance away from the two brothers at this time, and she stops in her steps after Selym asks his questions – but she does not turn around to look at them. She tells the brothers that the Undying Lands are one among many. She goes on further to say that if you do not believe you will find nothing beyond the infinite blue….but, if you believe, who knows what you may find beyond the blue. Before the woman utters those last words, she continues in her walk forward. Before she turns the corner, Selym calls out and asks the old woman what her name is. As she turns the corner, she tells Selym that her name is Anan (that name is my brother's nickname in reverse & also means 'clouds' in Arabic). Once she turns the corner, she disappears and is never seen again.
As the two brothers stand in the middle of the road, one doubts the words told to him while the other believes. For many days, Selym attempts to unearth the secret of his object due to his belief while Myles sets aside his gift only to gather dust due to his disbelief.
One night full of stars, Selym unearths the secret of his gift. It is indeed a key. The knobs represent a combination. Knowing with Knowing how, Selym discovers the combination and knows where to find the 'lock' – an abandoned temple of the old gods found at the edge of the city. So, Selym gathers some provisions and hurries to the forgotten temple because he senses that there is a journey just around the corner.
In this forgotten temple, Selym enters the combination into the mixer, and a flying craft appears before him. Intuition guides Selym and he enters the flying craft. Knowing without knowing how, Selym starts the craft and guides it into the night sky. Once Selym rises, his confidence grows, and he decides to leave the floating city of Semele to follow belief and find the lands beyond the infinite blue. So, Selym leaves Semele and ventures into the unknown of the night sky.
When Myles returns home, he finds a note left behind by Selym. In the note, Myles finds the following words:
"Discovered the Key & the Lock at the forgotten temple."
Sensing something was amiss, Myles runs into the night with all of his speed. He senses that if he does not get to the temple in time; he would not see his brother again. He does not know why, but he harbors this feeling in the depths of his heart.
By the time that Myles reaches the forgotten temple, it's too late. In disbelief, Myles sees the flying craft in the sky and knows without knowing how that his brother Selym is leaving Semele, leaving his life here, and leaving his brother, Myles. In desperation, Myles calls out to him, but Selym has already escaped the confines of the borders of Semele.
In despair, Myles waits all night at the far edge of the city for his brother to return, but Selym does not come home that day. Every night after that tragic night, Myles waits at the edge of the city with a blue lantern hoping for his brother to see the light and return home, but Selym never returns.
Today, many believe Selym actually found many lands beyond the Infinite Blue and lived many adventures in one lifetime but was unable to return home to Semele. Others believe Selym found the heavens above instead and lives in the company of the Old Gods.
As far as the fate of Myles, no one knows.
Now, if you look into the night sky in the height of summer, you will see the constellation of Selym in the western sky. The constellation resembles the same ship that Selym used to escape the city of Semele. The constellation is illuminated by reds stars shining liking rubies. Whenever the stars of Selym shine bright in the western sky, the constellation of Myles shines bright in the eastern sky – one solitary blue star in the sky waiting for his brother to return.
// End of Story
After finalizing the story of The Myth of Myles & Selym, I had to make a decision as far as the visual aesthetic of this animation. For a time, I toyed around with the idea of creating a 2D animation solely in After Effects; but, after a few initial sketches, I decided to attempt a 3D animation instead.
Despite my best wishes, my experience with 3D animation software was limited. So, I tracked down a 15 hour tutorial of Cinema 4D R14, and I holed myself in my apartment until I had a solid grasp of the software. In the tutorial, I learned about C4D's User Interface, Modeling Tools, Materials, Rigging, Particles, Animation, & Rendering. Below are renders of the world of Semele that I built. I also modeled the flying craft that I intended to use in the finals scenes for Selym with help of the tutorial.
Cinema 4D Screenshots
The City of Semele requires a few more tweaks. At the moment, it appears that the city is floating in space when it should appear to be floating in the night sky. So, I will need to add clouds as well as the proper illumination to represent moonlight for the night scene. The first animation needs to reflect the passage of time as the story progresses, so I felt that I needed to create an environment with both a day/night cycle. So, that took a bit of time to build and figure out. Yet, I'm very happy with the results, but I still have a ways to go.
During Spring Break, I really need build the 3 main characters (Selym, Myles, and Anan), rig these characters, and build the scenes. The inspiration for Selym & Myles is a pen sketch that I did some time ago. Here is a scan of that sketch:
If you look closely at the sketch, you will the side profile of two faces conjoined much like the Janus Coin.
The face on the left is a representation of Selym and the one on the right is a representation of Myles. The sketch is bit abstract, but I like it. I think that I will base the characters on this sketch by utilizing both ZBrush and Cinema 4D.
All these tasks have been rather difficult since I'm visiting Austin, TX for the Spring Break to see whether or not I will stay in New York or possibly relocate to Austin (or maybe San Francisco if the right opportunity presents itself) after graduation.
At the rate that I'm going, I'm fearful that I may need to condense the last 2 animations into one, but I cannot worry about that at the moment. If I can pull off one animation of high quality that has interactive elements, that would be a success in itself. So, the worst cast scenario is that I complete on great animation.
Also, I'm reading the Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler as a recommendation from Katherine. Actually, Eric Rosenthal brought up the book after my Midterm Presentation. He asked me whether or not I had read the book. Mistaking the book for another that I read, I answered that I did. A day after the presentation, I realized that I had not read this book, so I decided to purchase a copy and read it for the first time.
The Writer's Journey is a book that explores the structure of mythology and storytelling to assist writers, screenwriters, game designers, etc. Vogler's work is inspired immensely by the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell & Psychologist Carl Jung. Since I'm also a fan of both of these figures, Vogler's approach within his book truly resonates with me and will be a true guide for me in this challenging process.
I will be sure to give another update sooner than later.
Until we meet again,

Twitter Takeover
Ainsley N.
Plymouth Meeting, PA
Everyday, people send nasty messages to each other via Twitter. But Kevin Curwick has other ideas.
Kevin's idea is a big part of his fight against cyberbullying. He got his miraculous idea after seeing tweets from students at his school. He couldn't help but notice that there were rude comments posted. Kevin tells Scope, "There were some nasty Twitter pages coming out, saying negative things about people at my school." So, Kevin decided to take a stand. He made a Twitter account named @OsseoNiceThings. He started anonymously tweeting kind compliments about victims of cyberbullying.
He says, "I created a nice page to help the kids who were being attacked and other kids who I thought could use a boost in confidence, or just something to make their day." He pondered the subject before putting it into action, and his strategy worked.
Are you wondering if the negativity stopped due to his tweets? Kevin tells Scope, "Yes! Using social media to compliment people has really made cyberbullying uncool." His plan to wipe out negative comments using his anonymous page has worked! When Kevin sends out nice tweets, people re-tweet and "favorite" them "four times as much as the negative ones." This took Kevin by surprise. His idea was great for Twitter.
Kevin's idea was so great that people imitated it. Many other schools have created their own nice pages after seeing Kevin's creation. Kevin must be proud.

When Kevin Curwick logged onto Twitter, he was appalled at the nasty things he saw written about his classmates—people had made up hate pages to put each other down. He "decided to fight back on Twitter." Kevin, an 18-year-old from Osseo, Minnesota, is now taking a stand against cyberbullying. He created a Twitter account (@OsseoNiceThings) that he uses to post compliments about his classmates.
This is how it works. Curwick has people from his school send him direct messages on Twitter, then he posts them, keeping the comments anonymous. He finds it cool to learn about the underclassmen and other people and their talents from the positive comments he receives; he also says that it makes you look at the person differently when you pass them in the hall.
The "nice page" has caused a positive reaction. His nice tweets have "made cyberbullying uncool" and taken away "the power and attention from the bullies." In fact, people re-tweet and "favorite" his nice tweets "four times as much as the negative ones."
The kindness has also spread. Kevin's tweets became a bigger success than he expected. Many other schools have even followed his example by making nice pages of their own.
Kevin also has advice for those who have been victimized by cyberbullying. He advises cyberbullying victims not to respond. "Instead, focus on your positive qualities. Find people who will support you and love you," he says.
He tells Scope that one way to use social media in a positive way to prevent cyberbullying is for kids to perform random acts of kindness on the Internet. He encourages kids to compliment people's pictures instead of looking through them to tear them down. His advice for those who have nothing nice to say: "Just don't say anything at all."
The nice page is in full swing, but many of you are probably wondering what this senior will be doing with the nice page when he graduates. He says, "It would be cool to hand it down to another student who can carry it on" and let it keep going from there.
Kevin's message can be very useful in everyday life, especially on the Internet. Work hard to build others up and be polite rather than tear each other up with words of hate.

"Twitter Takeover" is a story about a thoughtful young man who uses a popular social media tool to change the lives of his peers.
Kevin Curwick, an 18-year-old from Osseo, Minnesota, is taking a stand against cyber bullying. He created a Twitter account that he uses to post compliments about his classmates.
Kevin is learning about his classmates in a different way using his friendly Twitter page. Kevin created it after he saw a Twitter page with some mean comments on it about kids in his school. Surprisingly, the compliments on Kevin's Twitter are way more popular than the negative comments. In fact, they get four times as many "likes" and "favorites" as the insults. It has also made cyberbullying unacceptable in his school.
Kevin's nice page "exploded a lot more than [he] expected." Also, other schools have started their own nice pages. Kevin's idea has gone viral!
Kevin is giving kids great advice on what to do in case a cyberbully targets another person. His advice: "Don't respond. Instead, focus on your positive qualities."
"If you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything at all," Kevin explains when discussing how social media can be used for good. He points out that there are a lot of opportunities to be kind to others on the Internet. For example, kids can come up with compliments after looking at a person's photos on the Internet.
Kevin has plans for the future of his friendly page. He would like to see it continued by another student who would also post compliments anonymously. Thanks to Kevin, students at his school are learning the meaning of friendship.

Plans approved for beloved Tenby church - but some changes made after storm of protest (From Western Telegraph)

Plans approved for beloved Tenby church - but some changes made after storm of protest
5:15pm Wednesday 9th July 2014 in News
The controversial plans for Tenby's iconic St Julian's Church have been approved - with conditions - by the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC).
The 19th century harbour side building has been at the centre of a storm of protest after a £100,000 scheme to bring it in line with the 21st century were revealed.
Church leaders said the work would create 'a vibrant, fully-equipped church that attracts worshippers again, whilst at the same time, respecting its history and position in the life of Tenby as Christ's haven in the harbour'.
Campaigners who initially voiced fears that the project would remove the 'heart and soul' from the building said this week that they were 'preliminarily pleased' with the outcome of the DAC meeting.
This called for the retention of the church's brass plaques on the window sills and memorials, its Good Shepherd picture and old painted zinc frieze.
The committee asked for all internal walls of the building to be smooth lime-rendered and felt that the proposed cross-shaped skylight would be 'inappropriate' and would set a precedent to other churches.
Said Sarah Williams on behalf of the Save St Julian's Campaign: "The committee has reacted in a sympathetic way to the plans, and these conditions (if they are adhered to) should result in a much more contoured design and refurbishment than the original plans.
"The Good Shepherd picture remaining in situ is one of our goals accomplished, as is the zinc frieze.
"We are also pleased that the cruciform roof light has been disallowed, as the lightening of the walls will brighten the church to a satisfactory level."
The committee also suggested a stained glass design depicting the Fishermen's Chapel in the plain windows on the church's south-east wall, and recommended that storage cupboards and drawers could be created from some of the good wood from the pews, which are being replaced with chairs.
St Mary's Parochial Church Council previously said that the little church 'has reached a moment of decision in its life'.
It added, "Either it remains as it is - a liturgically-redundant and physically run-down curiosity for visitors - or it is re-ordered and re-launched with its own unique ministry for the 21st century.2 -wiring, replacing window frames, resolving damp problems, installing heating and lighting, with a small extension for a kitchenette, toilet and storeroom are amongst the works in the scheme.
Following its approval in principle by the DAC, planning permission will still need to be granted by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.

Old, young, even people from America who have visited Tenby and gone into St Julians, I for one am fed up of the doubters of our campaign, Clergy who refuse to even acknowledge that we exist, a Diocese who are incommunicado, and a Tenby Public who never knew there were plans until WE broke the story to the Press! The Church in Wales (and Clergy) want to "attract more worshippers", so the THOUSANDS who visit St Julian's every year aren't welcome now?
What's the betting that most of those ppl who kicked up a"storm" over the changes to this church NEVER EVER visited this church, never contributed a penny to it's upkeep or went to a Church service (bit like those folk who moan about local and town centre shops but drive off to Tescos?)
There has to be a question raised on £100,000 being spent when poverty exists in Pembrokeshire??

Yeah, that's right. Mike Shanahan is out! The Broncos fired Shanahan following late-season collapse costing his team the AFC West title.
Shanahan is also no longer the director of football operations.
Shanahan had three years and $20 million left on his contract.
I am sure that Shanahan will be one of the most sought-after head coaches available since his 14-year tenure in Denver is over with. Wow, I found this to be some really shocking news.
What do you guys think?

Very little preparation is required for a MRI scan. You can eat, drink, and take your medication as normal. Prior to the scan, you are encouraged to go to the bathroom due to the length of the examination.
You will be asked to remove all metallic items such as watches, jewelry, hair pins, eyeglasses, and hearing aids. Also, do not take any credit, bank, parking or insurance cards into the scan room because the magnet will erase the information on the magnetic strip.
Upon arriving for your appointment, you will be greeted by a receptionist who will ask you to sign in and give you appropriate forms to complete. The staff will review the forms for completion and a billing representative will call you into our consultation room to discuss your insurance benefits.
The MRI scan is performed by a technologist specially trained to operate the MRI system and the images will be interpreted by a radiologist who is a physician specializing in interpreting medical diagnostic examinations. The MRI technologist will take you to a private area in the MRI department where they will review your medical history and the symptoms that are related to the examination that your doctor has ordered. The technologist will further explain you're examination, what's expected of you and answer any questions you might have.
When the scanner is operating you will hear a loud knocking sound and feel a vibration from the table. This is normal. You'll be asked to hold very still as motion will cause image blurring.
Each MRI scan is different. Typically, scans can take between 20 and 60 minutes.
Immediately following the scan, you may resume normal activities, diet and medications. There are no known reactions or side effects associated with MRI. The films from your examination will be taken to a radiologist who will interpret the images.
Your MRI scan will be reviewed by a radiologist. The radiologist will send a report to your physician, who will give you the results of your scan and plan the best course of treatment for your recovery.

I just mentioned him yesterday, and boom, here he is signing with an indy team. Also, the Kansas City T-Bones have signed Pirates 2007 25th-rounder Keanon Simon. Dave Littlefield sure was a bad GM, but I'll say this: it sure seems like the independent leagues are grateful. ...And in other extremely minor former-Pirates news, Jim Rooker is writing childrens' books.
