Narrowing the Gap in Breast Adjuvant Therapy for African American Women
Study Section:
Population Specific
Scientific Abstract:
Black women have higher breast cancer mortality than White women, despite lower age-adjusted incidence rates and steady improvements in screening. Moreover, stage for stage they have significantly worse breast cancer survival than Whites and disparities have widened in recent decades. Some of the disparity may be accounted for by differences in breast cancer biology. However, even after controlling for these factors, outcome disparities persist. Many Black women may have failed to benefit to the same extent as Whites from the dissemination of adjuvant systemic therapy. It is estimated that this therapy should be considered for ~80% of patients with invasive breast cancer, yet ~50% of Black women eligible for this therapy are estimated to be receiving it. When Blacks receive definitive breast cancer treatment their survival outcomes are similar to Whites. Thus, disparities in survival may be explained, in part, by low adherence to adjuvant systemic therapy. We hypothesize that factors relating to the provision of care are associated with Black women's adherence to adjuvant therapy. We further hypothesize that cultural and subjective norms, health beliefs, and attitudes are associated with adherence. Aims: 1) examine the role of patient-provider communication on adherence to an oncology referral and receipt of adjuvant therapy; 2) identify cultural and subjective norms that are associated with adherence to initiating and completing adjuvant therapy, controlling for other factors; and 3) identify associations between health beliefs, attitudes and adherence. We will conduct a prospective observational cohort study of adjuvant treatment determinants among 400 newly diagnosed Black women. We will recruit women with invasive, non-metastatic breast cancer who have indications for systemic adjuvant treatment over a 36-month period. Women will participate in a structured telephone interview within 4-12 weeks of definitive breast surgery. Medical records will be abstracted to assess tumor factors, comorbid conditions, and patterns of care. Primary outcomes: referral to a medical oncologist and initiation of definitive systemic adjuvant hormonal and/or hormonal treatment, based on the woman's cancer stage, ER status, and risk of recurrence. Secondary outcomes: completion of definitive systemic treatment and satisfaction with care. This study will improve understanding of factors that promote adherence to clinically indicated systemic adjuvant therapy.
Lay Abstract:
Compared to White women, Black women have a lower incidence of breast cancer but significantly worse survival. These disparities are well documented, but t he complex pathways whereby race influences breast cancer outcomes is poorly understood. Few studies have examined treatment disparities or have identified unique socio-cultural factors that may impact adherence among Black women. To fill this gap, we will talk to 400 Black women recently completing surgery for breast cancer to identify factors that are associated with adherence to chemotherapy and hormonal therapy after breast cancer surgery. We will examine whether women are referred to a medical oncology specialist, and if they are, examine whether adjuvant treatment is recommended. If treatment is recommended, we will determine factors that help women start and complete the full course of adjuvant treatment. The aims of this study are: 1) To examine the role of Black women's rating of patient-provider communication in keeping an oncology medical appointment and starting adjuvant systemic therapy; 2) To identify cultural and subjective norms (e.g., fatalism) that are associated with the adherence of Black women to initiating and completing systemic adjuvant therapy, controlling for other factors; 3) To identify associations between Black women's health beliefs and attitudes (e.g., perceived benefits, susceptibility to recurrence) and adherence to adjuvant systemic therapy. We plan to use results from this study to develop interventions that will improve use of adjuvant systemic therapy among Black women and reduce the Black-White survival gap.

Florida Marlins CF Chris Coghlan gets interviewed by his childhood hero, Cal Ripken Jr.
By Joe Capozzi
The game hasn't even started yet but Marlins center fielder Chris Coghlan already has had a big day — he got to meet his boyhood idol, Cal Ripken Jr.
Cogs and teammate Logan Morrison visited XM radio's headquarters earlier today and were interviewed by Ripken and his brother Billy.
LoMo was so excited to break the news to reporters about Coghlan's moment with The Iron Man that he borrowed lyrics from Eminem's "Lose Yourself."
"Coghlan fulfilled a dream and got to talk to Cal Ripken, his favorite player of all time, today on the radio," LoMo said. "He was all nervous. His palms were sweaty, his knees were weak and his arms were heavy…"
I'll report back Sunday in a 60 Seconds column with all the details about Coghlan's chat with Ripken. (There's a funny story about 7-year-old Chris Coghlan's ill-fated attempt to snag a Ripken autograph on day at Camden Yards.)
Cal and Billy Ripken were not at the studios when they did their phone interview with the two Marlins outfielders.
"I've met Billy (Ripken) before. I look forward to meeting (Cal) one day," Coghlan said. "I have all the respect for him and what he he did on the field. It was pretty cool to talk to him and let him know that."
The Ripken brothers mainly asked about the toughest pitchers LoMo and Cogs have faced and about some nicknames of their Marlins teammates.
Coghlan, who grew uo in Maryland, said he didn't plan to gush to Cal during the interview — then, LoMo intervened.
"Logan was like, 'Oh, Chris can't concentrate because he loves you and you're his idol.' I was like, 'Oh, sweet, Mo, thanks for throwing me under the bus,"' Coghlan said with a laugh.
"It was cool to be able to at least say you got interviewed by Cal Ripken."

Hey, mega nerd. Are you still mega flipping the fuck out over the recent recent mega announcement that Mega Man will be mega appearing as a playable fighter in the next Smash Bros. game? Well then have I got the mega Animal Crossing: New Leaf QR code for you! This pattern features the bane of Dr. Wiley's existence in all of his beautiful 8-bit pixelated glory.

Alton Fitzgerald White's "Disney My Way!" CD Due in October; Track List Announced
By Andrew Gans
Alton Fitzgerald White, who currently plays Mufasa in Broadway's Tony-winning The Lion King, will release his second solo album, "Disney My Way!," Oct. 1.
The album, which will be available on iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon, features classic Disney songs, including tunes from Aladdin, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast and more.
"Disney My Way!" features a 12-piece orchestra with arrangements and orchestrations by Jim Abbott. The complete track list follows:
1) Strangers Like Me (Tarzan)
In the liner notes for the new recording, Thomas Schumacher, president of the Disney Theatrical Group, says, "Listening to 'Disney My Way!' is, for me, a visit with old friends. First up, of course, is the spectacular Alton Fitzgerald White—actor, singer, and gentleman. A long-time member of the Disney Theatrical family, Alton is well known to our audiences on Broadway, in Las Vegas, and across America as King Mufasa from The Lion King. He is an actor of extraordinary craft, and is blessed with a stunning voice. Alton is joined on this collection of songs by the great Jim Abbott, who has guided the music on Disney projects in New York and around the world, including Phil Collins' Tarzan and Elton John & Tim Rice's Aida. His arrangements and orchestrations heard on this recording are spot-on. And finally, my friends represented here are the songwriters, and their songs, to which Alton brings his fresh and surprising take."

Devil's Kitchen Headwall is the big rock wall stretching from Pearly Gates (top of Hogsback) east toward Steel Cliffs. Left variation, as I'm calling it here, is the long couloir that splits the middle of the headwall. The route is distinguishable by the fact that it runs the full height of the headwall, unlike the routes to the right (east).
The route seems to come into best condition in late winter/early spring. Climbing in thin conditions can be very sketchy, and short ice screws and thin, shitty pins will probably be your only protection. Later in the season, when the ice is fat and there's consolidated snow above the steps, medium screws and pickets, quantities depending on your desire for 10-20' steps.


text: Named after Lake Neerabup which was first recorded by surveyor J. Cowle in 1867. Aboriginal derivation of the name is possibly "swampy place" or "small basin or lake". Another version of the spelling is Neerabub. Another authority states that this lake was once called Pappas Swamp. The suburb name was approved in 1982.

Sometimes what happens in Vegas makes its way to LA. Today the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl made a surprise visit to the Trojans' practice bringing showgirls and bowl gifts for the team. This year's gifts included Samsung Galaxy tablets, Oakley backpacks, and commemorative Las Vegas Bowl footballs and hats.
Vegas Bowl representative John Saccenti said the bowl committee has been looking forward to this matchup since it first became a possibility. "We all sat around the room a couple months ago and said if we can get USC vs. Fresno State, that's a home run for everybody."
Airing on ABC at 12:30 p.m. PT, the Las Vegas Bowl will be the only college football bowl game appearing on primetime television this Saturday. Saccenti said they are expecting a full house at Sam Boyd Stadium as USC and Fresno State clash for just the third time to help open up the 2013 post-season calendar.
Tickets are still available for this Saturday's game! Go to usctrojans.com/bowlcentral to buy yours!

Have you heard what some people order for an extra buzz at the bar? Red Bull and vodka are just an example. The trend is mixing some energy drinks with any liquor, but now a study at Wake Forest University finds that the combination is a recipe for potential disaster.
The study says students who drink alcohol mixed with so-called "energy drinks" are twice as likely to be hurt or injured, require medical attention, or ride with a drunk driver versus students who drink straight alcohol.
The problem is energy drinks are loaded with caffeine which is a stimulant. Researchers say mixing that much stimulant with alcohol, which is a depressant, is like getting into a car and stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time. Although the symptoms of drunkenness may be reduced, those students are still drunk and very dangerous behind the wheel.
The American Beverage Association has provided this statement: "Energy drinks are a non-alcoholic, refreshment beverage and are consumed primarily in that manner. If adults choose to mix them with alcoholic beverages, they should be aware of the risks associated with the consumption of any alcoholic drink."

Magic The Gathering - Official Strategy Guide. - By Beth Moursund
First off, this is an absolutely beautiful book. The book is fully illustrated, in color, on high quality paper. It is current (1997), and contains Fifth Edition Cards. This book is more than a simple how-to-play guide. It contains detailed info on: Rules; Deck Building; Creature Combat; and the timing on playing cards in your duels. Size is 7-1/4" x 9-1/4".
O.K., I'm going to be blunt ... This is absolutely the best book for a beginner to buy. I can't think of any book that will teach you the finer details of the game better than this. As a beginner, photos of actual cards help immensely in learning the game. Only "Official" books show the actual cards. This book is great for a beginner who wants to advance to intermediate and tournament level play. The book is dedicated to teaching you all about the strategy of playing with the 5th edition cards. There is a fantastic attack sequence description in this book. The book also details banding, instants, and interrupts which can be very confusing to beginners. Good information is also included for creating and playing with the 5 basic decks: an inexpensive Weenie Deck; a Big Creature Deck; a Burn Deck; a Permission Deck; and a Land Destruction/Discard Deck. Sugg. Retail Price is $16.95, so its about $14 at Amazon.com. If you are new to M:TG, this book should be at the top of your list. You won't be disappointed. Beth Moursund is about the best M:TG author out there.
If you are a very experienced M:TG player, I'm guessing you probably won't learn a whole lot. But then again, this book is actually cool to read, and the quality is top notch. Beginners note: In addition to this book, you should probably also grab Magic Cards Simplified. (only about $6).
Order this book on-line from Amazon.com.

LAWRENCE — Parole was denied last week to Elsido Pereyra, 48, who pleaded guilty to the 1998 murder of Richardo "Ricky" Torres of Lawrence.
The Massachusetts Parole Board handed down the decision on June 28.
On May 3, 1998, Torres' pregnant girlfriend purchased candy at the El Coqui, a store Pereyra owned on Newbury Street. While in the store, Pereyra's bother and another man made "disrespectful comments" to Torres' girlfriend, according to a statement released yesterday by District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's office.
When the women told Torres what the men said, he went back into the store to talk to the men. A fight broke out and Pereyra shot Torres in the back. Pereyra then hid from police.
On March 2, 1999, Pereyra pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the statement.
Paul Wagoner, an assistant district attorney, told the board parole should be denied because Pereyra continues to portray the murder in self-serving terms and blames Torres. Wagoner also pointed out Pereyra has an "inadequate post-parole plan to ensure he does not re-offend," according to the statement.
Pereyra, who can apply for parole again in two years, was represented by attorney Eva Clark at the hearing.

Albany -- A Judge has again ordered Phoebe Putney Health Systems Board members to produce its financial records from 2000 to 2004 for discovery in a lawsuit. Charles Rehberg, one of the Phoebe Factoid writers, is suing Phoebe Health Systems for defamation, false imprisonment, and infliction of mental distress.
Four board members had responded to an earlier order to turn over their financial records involving the Hospital, by saying they had none.
Judge John Harvey Friday ruled again that Phoebe's Board Members must produce their financial records, or sign a statement testifying they have none.
"To swallow that professionals, people that are in business, do not have financial information about their worth, or their transactions, or their daily affairs. We all do," said Rehberg Attorney Ralph Scoccimaro.
In Friday's order, Judge Harvey also admonished Phoebe attorney Rick Langley for having a private detective investigate Scoccimaro's personal military records. In the ruling Harvey wrote "The Court is appalled by.... counsel's egregious conduct in securing opposing counsel's military records. Such conduct does nothing to promote justice and only makes what should be civil completely uncivil."

Saturday was quite the unfamiliar feeling for this UMD hockey team.
A loss.
UMD fell 3-1 to Nebraska-Omaha, marking the team's first loss since Oct. 15. It broke a 17-game unbeaten streak that set a program record. That streak propelled UMD to the top spot in the WCHA (tied with Minnesota), as well as the No. 1 position in both national polls, the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index, one of the tools used to compare teams for NCAA Tournament consideration), and the Pairwise (a ranking system that mimics the actual NCAA Tournament selection process).
UMD fell behind in each game against Western Michigan, and both of them were tied (1-1 Friday and 2-2 Saturday) going into the third period. Each night, UMD got a power play goal to take the lead, then added two more for good measure.
In last Friday's win over Nebraska-Omaha, sophomore JT Brown scored goals 28 seconds apart in the third period to cap his first career hat trick.
The common thread here is the third period dominance for UMD. The Bulldogs outscored opponents 31-10 over their 17-game run, and 10-0 over the last three games of the streak.
Saturday's loss was surprising, largely because UMD could not take down another team in the third period. Give credit where it's due, because Nebraska-Omaha goalie Ryan Massa was nothing short of outstanding, making 44 saves, including 17 in that frantic third period. That UMD outshot UNO 17-3 in the third was made even more impressive by the fact the entire stanza was played five-on-five after UNO was done killing off a five-minute major that carried over for the first 1:53 of the third period.
It just wasn't meant to be.
This weekend, UMD returns home for the first time in nine weeks. The home fans missed six wins and a tie over eight largely solid road games.
Jack Connolly still hasn't been held off the scoreboard since an Oct. 8 loss to Notre Dame. Travis Oleksuk still leads the team in goals. Brown's speed still dazzles. Brady Lamb and Wade Bergman are as solid as any defensive pairing you'll find. Kenny Reiter is still playing very well in goal.
This weekend's games against Alabama-Huntsville mark UMD's final non-conference series. The Bulldogs have six series left in WCHA play, including home dates with Michigan Tech, North Dakota, and Colorado College, along with trips to Alaska-Anchorage, Minnesota State, and St. Cloud State. The program's first MacNaughton Cup title under coach Scott Sandelin -- and the school's first since 1993 -- is certainly within reach.
North Dakota 2, Minnesota 1; Minnesota 6, North Dakota 2
Sophomore Brock Nelson got the winner in the third period Friday, and the Gophers rallied back for a convincing win the next night, thanks to two goals each from Nick Bjugstad and Nate Condon. UND assistant captain Ben Blood is now senior defenseman Ben Blood, as the team stripped him of his captaincy after he was involved in a skirmish in the handshake line Saturday.
Wisconsin 4, Minnesota State 0; Minnesota State 3, Wisconsin 0
The teams traded shutout wins in Mankato. MSU goalie Phil Cook threw the doughnut for the Mavericks Saturday, which was nice to see, considering Cook had a stretch in November where he stopped two of eleven shots faced over two different starts. Friday's win was the first for Wisconsin on the road this season.
Colorado College 3, St. Cloud State 1; St. Cloud State 5, Colorado College 4, OT
I think this is a great result for St. Cloud State. The Huskies have been beset by injuries to key players -- most notably goalie Mike Lee and senior forward and captain Drew LeBlanc -- yet keep finding ways to get points. Despite outshooting CC 27-12 over the last 40 minutes Friday, the Huskies had nothing to show for it. Then SCSU blew a two-goal lead in the third period Saturday. Jordy Christian's second goal of the season rescued the Huskies in overtime, and the Huskies keep hanging around the .500 mark in league play.
Denver 6, Bemidji State 3; Denver 3, Bemidji State 2
Panthers prospect Drew Shore had five points on Friday, while Wild prospect Jason Zucker had two assists in his first game after playing in the World Juniors over the holiday break (Zucker missed the Pioneers' series with Alabama-Huntsville, causing some controversy when Denver lost to UAH in the series opener). The Beavers had 1-0 and 2-1 leads on Saturday, but couldn't close the deal. Zucker's 13th of the season in the third period proved to be the game-winner and sweep-clincher.

At present Rosie has access to the living room and the patio and veg garden, being fenced in while we work on recall. We have been fencing in the lower paddock so in time she'll have an acre to run around in.
Eventually the idea will be to allow photographers the chance to come and take photographs of her running free but obviously recall has to be 100% before that happens.
Below are a few pictures I've taken of her since we've had her.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't float for me all the time. I know that for the eye candy aspect you do not want to see a box flying in space but do you guys have any suggestions as to getting around beleveling?

I really didn't expect it. I said several times that, while I wanted Alabama to beat Florida because of the insufferableness of our SEC East rival if they won two straight national championships, I expected Florida to win. While I never got around to actually getting a fanpost up, the general reason was that I thought Florida's defense was better, would shut down a less effecient and more prone to "oops" Alabama offense and, really, that Tim Tebow would be Tim Tebow and win the game like Tim Tebows do.
I was, quite obviously, very much wrong.
I was impressed with Alabama very, very much -- as I'm sure most anybody was. When Florida showed life, Alabama responded immediately. When Florida tried to rally his troops, Alabama stiffled the Gators. And, in the end, Alabama just played better in every aspect of the field.
So, well done, Alabama, and good luck in Pasadena beating the hell out of the Longhorns. And color me impressed and, finally, convinced that Alabama is the best team in SEC, and in the Nation. Now don't make me wrong again come next month.

Debunking the hero myth
You don't really have to do it all
It's always funny how the smallest things — a certain song, a commercial on TV, or just a phrase from a book — can make lasting lifelong impressions on you.
For some reason, I will always remember sitting in my AP Literature class on one of the last days of senior year, the hot air and sunshine from outside beating on the window as the clock ticked steadily towards 3:15 p.m. as we all counted down in our heads the hours and minutes until graduation.
We had all maxed out on studying for our AP exam so our teacher turned on Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth," a PBS documentary in which the scholar discusses his ideas on the presence of myth in modern-day society.
At first, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to assume the ever-favored blank-faced stare of the daydreaming student and while away the last hour of school. While Campbell sat perched on a chair in a seriously lame 1980s office and chattered on about various mythological heroes, I thought long and hard about how to have a party at my house without my parents noticing.
But, as much as I was trying to totally tune out Campbell's monologue, something from the film we watched that otherwise unremarkable day stood out to me and has been stuck at the back of my mind ever since.
There is a point in the documentary in which Campbell discusses his idea of the monomyth, or the hero's journey. At the risk of sounding like I'm writing an English paper, I'll briefly summarize it in layman's terms. Basically, in order to truly make an impact on society and those around you, you must be willing to abandon feelings of security and comfort. After encountering great and terrible obstacles, overcoming them and returning home, you can relay the experience and knowledge you have garnered.
For some reason, those five minutes of Campbell's discussion seized my attention. At 18, I had worked hard in school, done well in my classes and was involved in my fair share of extracurricular activities, but overall I was rather unremarkable — just another student whose resume was dotted with various school club presidencies and community service work.
I felt a sense of stagnant complacency within my life — a feeling of having accomplished things that were just fine enough, but nothing definitively meaningful or impactful on me as a person. Campbell's reflection on the monomyth immediately seemed to strike home, and I realized that I, too, wanted to embark on some sort of challenging journey or experience that would draw me out of the comfort of my current existence, pushing me to become the image of wisdom and understanding I hoped to one day embody.
While I obviously did not plan on undertaking anything on the scale of ancient mythology, I did believe that I needed to do something drastically remarkable and sensational to accrue such a change within my life, such as teaching in a foreign country or working for Greenpeace — something that seemed honest, noble and eye-opening.
This thought has been at the back of my mind the past four years. I have at times undertaken less-than-noble pursuits and often found myself choosing the less challenging, safer option rather than going after the extraordinary. But that day in my old high school English class would come rushing back to me and I wondered when I would find my own hero's journey — the experience that would present me with the chance to make an impact.
I have come to realize that all the grants received to build schools and all the foundations created to help the less fortunate don't do a thing to the person behind them unless he, in day-to-day practice, embodies the ideals he is supposed to support.
I could volunteer as many hours as I wanted to or give away all my money to charity, but at the end of the day, if I'm not practicing what I preach, what's the point? I think I've made a mistake in focusing on this monomyth idea for so long — it's not in fact anything I need to search for, but rather it is right in front of me, a part of my everyday life which must be developed internally.
Every day should be your own monomyth, an opportunity to challenge and push yourself to be the person you want to be. Every day should be an opportunity to grow in kindness, to share something with another, to be a little more understanding. We shouldn't have to wait for some big "This is it!" moment on the horizon, because frankly, it might never come. Instead, we have to live in the here and now, and embrace the journey which is already happening. After all, it's about the journey, not the destination.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Northern Arizona authorities have arrested an armed man who allegedly was squatting at a house previously owned by his parents.
Prescott police say 67-year-old Richard E. Gray had to be taken by force Tuesday after greeting officers with a holstered handgun at the bank-owned home.
A real estate agent representing the bank found the home broken into and called police when Gray refused to leave.
Police say no payments had been made on the home since the last of Gray's parents died in 2010 and the locks had been changed.
They say Gray is being held at the Yavapai County Jail in Camp Verde on a local warrant as well as charges related to the squatting including trespassing.
Authorities didn't immediately know Wednesday if Gray had a lawyer yet.

Ancelotti hails Ronaldo as role model
Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo, saying he sets a great example to Real Madrid's younger players.
• Train: Back-ups step up
Ronaldo, 28, who has been impressive throughout his club's pre-season campaign, scored his sixth goal of an unbeaten seven-game run in the 3-0 win over Inter Milan at the Edward James Dome in Saint Louis on Saturday.
Ancelotti, who has been impressed by the former Manchester United man's attitude and professionalism, told the KMOX radio station in an interview reported on Real's official website: "[Cristiano] is an example for the kids.
"He has everything a football player needs to be great. And he is. He is great, a really fantastic football player. He is an example for the young players on the team."
One of those young players is Isco, who has also had an excellent pre-season, slotting in seamlessly into Ancelotti's fluid midfield set-up.
The former Malaga man, 21, has been called up for Spain's friendly in Ecuador on Wednesday and told Madrid's official website: "I am very happy. Everything is going smoothly.
"I am happy about how pre-season has been going, and also now about the call-up. My team-mates all congratulated me. I've played with them before in other matches, and I am really excited to play in the game against Ecuador."
Isco made his senior international debut in February's 3-1 friendly win over Uruguay in debut, but has yet to play a competitive game for the senior side.
"It is time to keep working," he said. "What matters is to continue to be part of the coach's plans, even if it is in the background for now, and to keep working in order to be called up more often.
"I was happy to have been called up when I was with Malaga, and happy to do it with Madrid now."
The playmaker - who reportedly turned down Manchester City to join Madrid - said he had enjoyed a pre-season campaign in which he has played regularly.
"There is a really good vibe and we have to keep it that way," he said. "The boss wants us to have the ball and have freedom and creativity on the pitch. I think that we are going to see a really beautiful Real Madrid this season."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Dolphins are back in the hunt. Jacksonville climbed back into contention in the Atlantic Sun Conference race with a key weekend series win behind a clutch two-out eighth inning single from senior Scott Schaub (Ocala, Fla.) for a 4-3 victory on Sunday over Kennesaw State.
Tied with the Owls in the A-Sun Conference standings at the start of the weekend the Dolphins now move a game ahead after taking their first league series this season.
Schaub's hit capped off a 4-for-5 afternoon in which the senior third baseman scored a run and also stole a base.
Jacksonville (8-17; 3-6 A-Sun) held a 3-2 advantage into the top of the eighth when Kennesaw State (13-18; 2-7 A-Sun) took advantage of a pair of two out singles to even the score at 3-3.
Parker Perez (Winter Springs, Fla.) was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning then advanced to third on a sacrifice and a ground out. After Dylan Dillard (Kissimmee, Fla.) battled to earn a seven pitch walk, Schaub stepped up to deliver the game winning hit and knock in his team leading 16th RBI of the season.
"I knew a side-winder was throwing so I was looking for something up and not chase anything that wasn't in the zone," said Schaub who has already doubled his RBI production from a year ago. "I had a good feeling when I got two strikes and knew if I kept battling I could find a way to put it in the opposite field. We just needed to come away with the victory some how some way and I'm thankful my teammates gave me a chance to be that opportunity."
Holding the 4-3 lead Jacksonville Head Coach Tim Montez whet to his closer Adam Maxon (Oviedo, Fla.) in the ninth. Maxon, who was making his 100th career appearance for the Dolphins, walked the first batter, before getting a strikeout for out number one. The Dolphins then took advantage of a batter's interference call for out two. Another walk put two on for the Owls before Maxon closed the door on his fifth save of the year with another strikeout.
"After giving up the baserunner early Maxon came back and fought and that's what you expect out of a senior," Schaub said of Maxon's second save in as many days. "That's why he is our captain. He came in and did what we needed of him for two straight days so we could take the series."
Junior righty Justin Russell (Jacksonville, Fla.) continued his Sunday success for the Dolphins on the mound. Russell earned the win, improving to 3-1 on the year, after allowing three runs on eight hits with six strikeouts in eight innings. The key moment for Russell can in the top of the second with Kennesaw State leading 1-0. The Owls were threatening again putting runners on second and third with only one out. Russell, who is now 3-0 with a 2.16 ERA in five Sunday starts, didn't give in however getting back-to-back strikeouts to end the frame and keep the Dolphins within a run.
The momentum carried into the bottom half of the inning as a RBI senior Braddock Rowe (Jacksonville, Fla.) scored Schaub and tied the game up at 1-1. Rowe finished his day going 2-for-3 with a run scored and the RBI.
A home run down the left field line by preseason All-American catcher Max Pentecost put Kennesaw on top 2-1 in the third. The Dolphins tied it up on the bottom of the inning when Angelo Amendolare (Edgewater, Fla.) stole third then advance home on a throwing error by Pentecost. Perez gave JU the 3-2 lead in the next inning with a RBI ground out for his eighth RBI in the last six games.
Amendolare and Michael Babb (Jacksonville, Fla.) also had two hits each for the Dolphins.
"You could tell yesterday that we came out with the positive energy even after waiting out the rain delay," said Schaub who is now hitting .397 on the year. "We continued that into today and kept feeding off each other. We wanted it more you could tell with the way we battled and executed at the plate. This is a huge win for us in that it puts us back in the middle of the pack. Plus we have some momentum now going into the UNF series next weekend."
Jacksonville is back in action on Tuesday at Georgia Southern before returning to Sessions Stadium on Wednesday to host the College of Charleston. The Dolphins then continue A-Sun play next weekend at North Florida. Wednesday's game and all three games at North Florida can be heard on 92.5 FM.

I have to say I got a lot out of this class. It was however not the easiest but it greatly improved my writing skills. She is very friendly and helpful.
I bailed out of the class once I saw that there was no possible way to get an A. She is somewhat vague and you get some nasty assignment surprises from time to time. Avoid if you can. On the good side, she was friendly and helpful when I went to her with questions.
Elizabeth is a great teacher but I think, like most teachers at Mayland, has too much on her plate. Eng 113 was a great class if you take it in person instead of online. Online classes tend to be harder. Overall, I had no major issues w/the teacher but the workload is one thing we all tend to forget, it is college level..
She is an excellent teacher!
Very knowledgeable teacher. If you listen well, you will learn many things.

Not very good at teaching. She has this "holier than thou" attitude about literature and feels she is wasted at a community college level.
Mrs. Hardy is tough, but I learned a lot in a short period of time. She moves quickly and has high standards. She is extremely knowledgable. Maybe a little self-righteous, but she is friendly and approachable. She will help, but she won't hold your hand. I do think she is hot, in a Victorian sort of way.
Mrs. Hardy is one of the best instructors at Mayland Community College. I learned so much in her class. She is funny, and always willing to help in any way. Love her!
Ms. Hardy is a bad teacher, because her papers are very unfair. She is so picky about everything that she misses the entire meaning of the paper. She was out half the semester with a broken leg. Funny though when I took 1020 I made an A. I do not recomend taking her.
Best professor I've ever had - hard, but fair, and really wants to help the students that want to be there. Those who leave complaits need to drop out of college and get a job at BK!
not very good
Did not show an interest in her students. Response during conference was misleading. Conference with her left person feeling that their essay was in good shape and the final result was a train wreak with a low score. Not sure if she just has a problem with communication. Never had a problem with previous instructors so I have to believe it is her
No Comments
Absolutely the worst professor at Caldwell!!! I have overheard her numerous times in her little cubicle bad mouthing students and laughing about how stupid they are. Class is way too hard for such a low level english class. Take someone else for your english classes and you won't regret it.

The Warren Brothers have their first bona fide hit with "That's the Beat of a Heart," at No. 22 on the Billboard country singles chart in early September. The collaboration with labelmate Sara Evans, included on the Where the Heart Is movie soundtrack, is soft, melodic and full of borderline saccharine sentiments. But Brett and Brad want to make it clear: That is not what they're all about on their new sophomore record, King of Nothing.
"The single that's out now is
doing very well, and we're very happy with that," Brad explains as he grabs a quick lunch in the BNA Records conference room.
"But the balance of the album is really us -- rockin', raw country music is what it is."
The Florida-bred brothers
spent years honing their live sound in the bars around Tampa, then later built a huge local following in the Nashville suburbs.
The duo hoped to capture the energy of those live performances on King of Nothing by taking more creative control.
The Warrens mostly used their road band in the studio. They co-wrote all but two cuts and co-produced the album with Chris
Farren (Deana Carter).
"There was just something about that first album [Beautiful Day in the Cold Cruel World]
that was a little watered down," Brad says. "We were selling more units playing live with Faith Hill than we were in the stores."
"On the first record, the songs were there, but the production wasn't as meaty as we are, wasn't quite as edgy and
loose as we are," Brett adds. "Instead of the sophomore jinx, we almost went the other way with it and said, 'You know what,
this might be our last chance. Let's just go in and make the record we want to make.'"
Instead of safe radio fare,
the duo came up with haunting tunes like "King of Nothing," a mournful acknowledgement of botched love, produced by Jay Joyce
(Patty Griffin). On "Waiting for the Light to Change," they collaborated with Benmont Tench, keyboardist for Tom Petty & the
Heartbreakers, whom they met through their manager. And the Rembrandt's Danny Wilde helped the brothers write "Move On," the
album's next single. Brad says they aren't afraid of working outside the Nashville norm.
"We can't play George Strait's
game better than he can," he says. "We've got to play our own game."
The duo also had more input on the artwork for
this outing. They wanted the photos to look more realistic than the last record.
"They made us look real pretty and
put tons of makeup on us," Brett says. "We just looked a little bit feminine on the first record, and it kinda ticked us off
a little bit."
"Yeah, I don't know who those girls on that first record were, but they weren't my sisters," Brad jokes.
Although the aim was to capture the free-spirited nature of the Warrens through sound and pictures, King of Nothing
also carries a subtle theme of maturity. The cuts "Strange" and "Where Does It Hurt" clearly focus on marriage and fatherhood,
something both Warren brothers have experienced in the last couple of years. Brad, 31, and his wife, Michelle, have just welcomed
their second son, Quinn, and Brett, 29, recently married and had his first child, Cole. On "Do Ya," a song they co-wrote with
noted tunesmith Bob DiPiero, the singer begs his woman for a commitment, saying "I ain't ashamed, I ain't afraid/To tell you
how I'm feeling." Brett says they write about life as they see it in the moment.
"Who I am at 29 is a lot different
than who I was when we wrote the first album," Brett says. "You realize that all the things you thought were important in
life aren't that important anymore when you have a son. All of a sudden I want to vote locally about local laws. I've got
a will and life insurance policies. I'm scaring myself."
The Warrens also turn inward for "What We Can't Have," a
simple but effective take on the "grass is greener" human flaw.
"The original spark for that song came when I was
talking to a friend and was telling her that my girlfriend at the time was pregnant," Brett says. "We weren't married yet,
and I was a little scared and freaked out. I had all this stuff going through my head, and my friend said, 'Man, I'd give
anything to be able to be married and have a kid.' I thought, 'Man, it's so weird, but we all want what we can't have.' It's
not that I didn't want to be married or have my kid, but I was scared. And that was my friend's dream."
Brad says
the song's first verse -- about a rich man envying a struggling guitar player in a bar -- is autobiographical.
remember sitting in an acoustic bar in Florida, me and Brett busting our chops, not making any money and seeing these rich
guys on vacation throwing their money around," Brad says. "All they could tell us is they wished they could play guitar. It's
pretty real for us."
Although the brothers have taken on more adult responsibilities in the last couple of years,
they still have that Warren wild streak they're known for. After a show at the Wildhorse Saloon June 14 (during Fan Fair Week),
Brett allegedly punched one of the club's managers during a scuffle. He and Brad were charged with simple assault.
gets blown out of proportion, but the bottom line is, it was nothing," Brad says. "Somebody got out of line and started throwing
our gear around. I confronted the guy about it, and he grabbed me and tried to push me back. Brett knocked him out cold. Now,
when you're about 220 pounds, 6 feet 2 inches and a 160-pound guy knocks you out cold, you're going to call the police because
you're upset."
"It's amazing the stories we hear coming out of there, like there was seven bouncers that drug me downstairs,
and they ripped my shirt off and had to hold me down," Brett says. "I walked downstairs and sat on the curb and waited on
the cops to come to tell them what happened."
Brett "Ali" Warren has even conked country superstar Tim McGraw in the
nose, but it was an accident. While touring with McGraw's "A Place in the Sun" tour last year, the Warrens took on McGraw
and his brother for a little game of two-on-two basketball.
"I took him to the hole, and he couldn't hang," Brett
Even so, the Warren Brothers have been tapped to open for McGraw and Hill on this year's wildly successful
Soul 2 Soul tour. The husband and wife team had been taking rotating opening acts on the road, but then decided in August
to give Brett and Brad the slot for the rest of the tour (which extends through October). The Warrens say the exposure to
arena-size crowds has helped them land their second straight Country Music Association award nomination for vocal duo.
think they're directly related," Brett says. "You look at the success of our first record, although it was critically acclaimed,
we didn't even go gold [sell 500,000 copies] with it. But, we did two tours with Faith and toured with Tim and the Dixie Chicks."
And besides, hanging with McGraw on the road gives the Warrens a good excuse to play.
"Tim's got three little
motor scooters, and we ride 'em in the parking lot," Brett says. "He's wearing a baseball cap and glasses and nobody even
knows it's him. Every now and then, somebody would be like 'Oh my God! That's Tim McGraw!' And you'd hear her husband go,
'No it's not! He wouldn't be out here riding a skateboard."

Yesterday, on Your Caregiving Journey, Elizabeth Lombardo, our happiness expert, joined me to discuss the impact of our anger on our moments of happiness. You can listen to our show via the player below.
During our show, Elizabeth reminded us that anger is a normal emotion.It's also an emotion that typically stems from another feeling we have. Often, our feelings of helplessness lead us to our feelings of anger.
We spoke about importance of managing our anger rather than stuffing it back in or pretending it doesn't exist. We discussed common situations that cause anger during caregiving, especially at the end of your caree's life. It's common to be angry as the end nears; we discussed strategies to manage the anger during those times. Because when you stay angry, you let anger steal the moments that could bring you happiness.

Survivor Michelle Knight performed Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' in honor of her son, whom was taken away from her before she was kidnapped by Ariel Castro. It's not known if she has been reunited with him since her escape from captivity.
Knight sang at Cleveland's Boo-You-Bash Bash on October 12. The video was recorded by Broco-El-Unico.
Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were held captive by Castro for over a decade. They escaped from his Seymour Avenue house on May 6. Castro had been sentenced to life in prison, plus 1,000 years, but committed suicide in prison last month.

My compact cracked so had to get one fast
Price: $6.73 USD
Pkg: square compact, snap-lid w/mirror
Colour: (Golden) transparent medium beige
Texture: dry
Oil-Control: 3-4hrs
I work at a café and this alone (over primer) barely stays for 3h. No dewy look, just oily
The only color that actually matched my skin ended up oxidizing too a horrible orange by the end of the day! Wanted to love this because of its cheap price (only $5 at Ulta!) and it's mica-free short ingredient list, but I'm sad to say that it may be a bit drying as well, and like I said becomes ORANGE! Plus all the starting colors are off anyways! Maybellin needs to improve on their color choices in most all their face makeup..
Great product to control oil.
Good quality & effect
Low staying power, you really have to keep applying it through out the day
I use this powder as a concealer under my eyes so that my mascara & eyeliner holds in place & doesn't smear onto the skin under my eyes. So it works amazingly for that purpose:) I use liquid foundation along with my primer from smashbox, so I don't really get oily (knock on wood). For that reason, there's no need for me to use powders on my face, so I do not know how well this controls oil....but i'm guessing it would fairly well. What I liked about this powder is that it doesn't have a noticeable smell, it's easy to apply, comes with a decent amount, & it's cheap. I think I paid $5 for it at walmart. This is a great powder if you're in need of something that gives a matte look, gives good color/coverage, & is cheap! Works very well. Another major plus is that it doesn't break me out. So, great for sensitive skin. I would reccommend:)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Just bought this today after reading the reviews about how well it has controlled shine for other people. It did not work for me unfortunately, I live in Florida where it is very humid and my skin gets VERY oily. This powder does leave your skin very matte after applying it, however after 45 mins, my face was shiny... the search continues....

i got this at target and i used it but it only lasted for 3 hrs b4 i got oily again and was visible 2. im going to try other drugstore too but so far i like the dream matte powder better... so BACK TO TARGET =D [price range: $5-$8]
More reviews by clinicalcolostomy
This my favorite powder, it doesn't feel heavy on my face, and it's cheap. My shade is Ivory, which is the lightest, and it matches me well, too. It's relatively cheap, as far as powders go, too. It has a scent to it, but personally, I really enjoy it. I like that it comes with a lot more powder than most compacts, and it doesn't wear off on me all day. Granted, I don't really get too shiny, so I can't really test it on how well it controls shine, but it still works wonders even without having oily skin. I'd imagine that it does well for oily skin, though, since it sticks for 8 hours or more on my skin without touch ups, so depending on the oil of one's skin, they might need a few touch ups, but I'm not positive on that part.
More reviews by Sunnydelite62901
When I was in my first years of college I used to buy this but then I moved on to MAC blot powder, which I still have in addition to IMAN's sand powder (the lightest shade they have). This is a good powder, cheap and yellow enough for my shade (NC40ish, a little darker) I usually use Nars Beach Powder loose and Lancome Matte Ecuru II. Both which I love as well this is a cheap staple product to have in my makeup wardrobe.
I've been using this powder for 3 years and I don't think I'll be switching to a different powder anytime soon! This product controls my oil for hours and has yet to break me out. I use it for school and normally find myself reapplying 2 times. I love this product and would recommend everyone to try it.
I bought this a few weeks ago becaue it was on sale and I needed a pressed powder STAT. While this isn't the worst powder I've tried, it's certainly not as good as the CoverGirl pressed powder I used to use.
I have a really difficult time picking up this powder on any kind of brush. It just wants to stay right there in the pan. It comes up decently on the puff, but otherwise it's really difficult to use. It's actually pretty sheer, which was a little surprising. The case broke the first day I used it, with the plastic cracking at the hinges. That was really annoying.
The only thing that I think really works about this product is that it really controlled my shine like no other powder has. I'll still go back to my old powder, though.

Star LSU Tigers cornerback Tyrann Mathieu -- whose nickname Brent Musburger can't quite get enough of -- has made his presence known in ways far more subtle than we're used to, so far at least. The Alabama Crimson Tide has been hesitant to punt his way, sending their only kick out of bounds instead of his way.
SI.com: Live LSU-Alabama box score
Mathieu has four touchdowns on the year, coming by all manner of return type.
He does have a tipped pass and made a great tackle on Eddie Lacy that prevented what would've been a first down deep in LSU's turf. Leading the team in tackles on the year is rare for a cornerback, but he's shown he's far from a liability in run coverage.
Now that Alabama has a two-score lead, look for him to get more aggressive in seeking out the ball -- he's already the school's all-time fumbles-forced leader, and he's only a sophomore.
Against both Arkansas and Georgia, it was a Mathieu kick return that sparked LSU out of early slumps and into lengthy second half rolls. LSU fans should hope for a stop on the opening drive and a daring punt by Bama, I'd presume.

In my travels around LinkedIn I have noticed that many people are not clear on how to best utilize what, in my opinion, is the best social media platform available to businesses today. So I created this tutorial for you explaining how I am leveraging LinkedIn and what is working particularly well for me. There's a lot here but if you blockout an hour or two and work through the steps, I think you'll find it time well spent.
More than just a social media platform, LinkedIn is the largest professional network with millions of users around the world. Whether you are marketing to other businesses or straight to consumers, a solid LinkedIn strategy can help you meet your goals. Every time someone visits your LinkedIn profile is an opportunity for you to engage – for branding purposes, for lead generation, or to get an introduction.
That is, if you do it right.
Step 1 – Set clear goals
The first step is to have a clear understanding of what your your LinkedIn goals are:
- Do you want to cultivate relationships with your "2nd Customer" (people in complementary but not competitive services)? For example, if you are a behavioral therapist, consider connecting with speech therapists so that you can refer business to each other.
- Do you want to market your products or services? Have you developed a program to help IEP Teams, Service Providers and Parents coordinate calendars and share information? LinkedIn is a great way to connect with educators, advocates, and other agencies who would like to know what you have to offer.
- Boost credibility – As service providers, your prospective clients may Google you for information. Having a professional profile, with all the i's dotted and t's crossed, in addition to your website will definitely help.
- Create an online presence – if you are just starting out and aren't sure what you want your online presence to look like, then LinkedIn is a great place to start. For example, if I was just starting out as a Virtual Assistant today, I would begin with my LinkedIn profile. I'd use it to network, gain visibility in the search engines, build credibility and learn how other top VAs are marketing their services. Then I'd create my website.
- Do you want to increase search engine visibility? Google, in particular, loves LinkedIn profiles – so much so that they are often ranked higher than the general information sites, like whitepages.com that typically come up when you Google someone's name.
Step 2 – Optimize your profile
The key here is to demonstrate who you are, who you help, and how you help them – in a reader friendly way that also uses your top keyword phrases
- Secure A Vanity URL
Your LinkedIn personal profile will have numbers after your name if you do not go in and reset this feature. A vanity URL not only looks cleaner and more professional, when people review your profile, but it's crucial to locking in that 1st page listing on Google. Here is my URL as an example: linkedin.com/in/sandrapearson
To optimize your URL on LinkedIn, go into your profile and select "Edit Profile." Then under "Find your URL" in the top area, hit the "Edit" link. If someone else has your name already, try using your name plus your business or occupation, i.e. susansmitthspeechtherapist
- Optimize these primary sections with your top keywords
- Title/Headline – don't just keyword stuff this, make it readable by humans and search engine friendly.
- Experience – don't go all the way back to your first babysitting job. A good rule of thumb is your current position and any past positions that relate to your current objectives (but no more than 3).
- Summary – Don't be too formal but do be careful to use good grammar, spelling and punctuation. Make it "professionally conversational" (think business casual dress), like you are having a first meeting with a prospective client.
- Specialties – not only a great place to let people know more about what you offer but this section also helps people find you when they are using LinkedIn's search function.
- Have a Call to Action – Invite them to your website or if you offer a free report, let them know about it.
- Website links
When you add your website(s), get more marketing mileage by using descriptive phrases. Select "Other," from the dropdown menu to add your own description. You can describe the web links with search-rich phrases that you want to be searched and found on. You can also use more than one link to the same site. For example, I use my home page and my blog page. You can have up to three links and I suggest you use them all.
- Add your Twitter Account
When you update your status on LinkedIn, you can also update Twitter. To link your Twitter account, go to your profile, select edit profile and follow the steps to add your Twitter account(s).
- Add your blog
Your blog posts can also automatically post to your profile. This is a great way for your contacts to read your thought leadership posts and connect to your content. Click on "More" in the menu bar and go to Applications.
- Arrange the sections of your profile to showcase the items you want to highlight.
Go to the "X" box of a section. When you mouse over the X, it gives you the option to drag and drop areas.
- Add Video to Your Profile to introduce yourself and your services
There are two applications for adding video to your LinkedIn profile – the Google Presentations app and the SlideShare app. You can also use Box.net. This is the method I prefer; it just seems to be more reliable.
Note: You can find out more information on implementing these features in the LinkedIn help section.
Step 3 – Connections
The general consensus among LinkedIn experts seems to be to add everyone who asks. I don't completely agree with this. Add everyone within reason. Take a look at their profile. Not everyone has put a lot of work into theirs and that's OK, but is it at least professional? Are there misspellings and bad grammar? You are judged by the company you keep.
Also, beware of people who have 0 connections. OK, everyone has to start somewhere but often these are spam profiles. You can always check back and accept them later if they add some connections.
And jump in and invite connections yourself too. Don't just sit in the corner and wait to be asked to dance. Under "Search" select people and enter the keyword phrases most likely to show the people you want to connect with. Take a look at their profiles and start connecting.
Tip: Don't send the generic LinkedIn invitation. Personalize. If you saw their profile in your search results, say so. Say something like, "I saw your profile and I think we may be able to help each other. Let's connect! Or if you see someone in a group who has shared some good tips, let them know that. Say, "The information you share in the Wonderful World of Widgets group has helped me to improve my sales efforts. I'd like to connect with you."
Keep in mind that, like other social media platforms there is something to be said for quality over quantity. Then again, it's not an either/or kinda thing. You can have both with just a little effort.
Step 4 – LinkedIn Groups
There are two ways to use Groups to expand your reach.
1. Leverage other people's groups
You can be in 50 groups at a time. While this may seem like a lot, you can quickly find that you have reached your quota. So be selective and find groups where your audience hangs out (or people who connect to your audience).
Before you start to participate, carefully review the groups profile (under More) and the rules (in the upper left corner). Be sure to play by the rules and play nicely. For example, some groups are very tightly focused on their topic and don't allow off topic discussions and promotions.
Once you are comfortable and you understand the personality of the group, start by participating in Discussions. Then as you become even more familiar with the group, start your own.
As you get to know people in the group, connect with them to grow your network.
2.Create your own group
You can own up to 10 but don't just create them to have them. Be prepared to actively manage the group.
Being the owner of a group gives you authority and credibility as the Leader of the Tribe. It's also a great way to build a community of like minded people that you can help and who can help each other.
I started my group, Online Marketing for Special Needs Services, because I wanted to merge my knowledge of Internet Marketing with my commitment to helping People with Special Needs and their Families. I had found through my site, Our Special Families Village, that many service providers wanted to offer information and services online but did not know how to go about doing it. This group offered the perfect opportunity to help them with information, find service providers with information I could share on my site and expose my services as a Virtual Assistant.
- Name your group using keywords that people are searching for, not your company name. For example, my group is Online Marketing for Special Needs Services, not ePro Virtual Assistance.
- Create your group (under groups in the menu bar) and fill out the form as completely as possible. Be sure to have a complete profile and rules ready.
- Create templates for your messages and enable auto-send.
- You might also consider having a special landing page on your site that welcomes your group members to your site. Consider offering a special report or ecourse just for them. Include the link in your welcome messages.
- You can email your group once per week. This is a good way to let members know of group happenings they may have missed. You can also promote your own services if they are of special interest to the group.
Step 5 – Advanced stuff
Check out the other applications available under the "More" button. Some popular ones include Events and Polls but my favorite is the Amazon Reading List. I am interested in sharing business related information with my contacts and group as well as demonstrating to prospective clients that I'm staying on top of the latest trends. Sharing the books I'm reading is a great way to do this.
Answers is another great way to demonstrate your knowledge and build credibility. You'll find the link under the "More" button
- When you respond to an answer, share it publicly. This is not the place to sell but rather to inform and to build credibility.
- Follow up privately and add value to original answer. Again, don't sell but if you have an article on your website or some other resource to share,then this is an appropriate place to share it.
A few words about the other pieces of the Social Media/Networking Puzzle
I have completely abandoned my ePro Virtual Assistance Facebook page. I have left it up, just to demonstrate my understanding of Facebook pages and there is a message there explaining my reasoning but that's it. I do use Facebook for Our Special Families Village because my audience on that site is Special Needs Families and Facebook is where they hang out.
I do have Twitter accounts that my Facebook and LinkedIn updates, as well as my blog posts, are automatically posted to but I don't "work" Twitter like I do LinkedIn for ePro and Facebook for the Village. And I'm not into Pinterest at all. I don't think it's necessary to everywhere all the time. I suppose it's my quality vs quantity philosophy again!
How Do You Link In?
There are other things you can do on LinkedIn, like have a Company Page, but these are the ones I have found to be most effective. Have you found any other ways to work LinkedIn? Please share them in the comments.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please be sure to share them in the comments.

Hey kids, do your parents constantly chastise you for watching too much television? If so, this news story should shut them right up. As for explaining why you're frequenting a site owned by Playboy, well, you're on your own there.
Anyway, here's the scoop. A UK man named Brian Holman developed what he thought was a blister on his ankle while on vacation (or "holiday" as those crazy Brits call it) in Turkey. Unfortunately, the "blister" quickly grew into a full on flesh eating virus. Several doctors tried and failed to cure the mysterious disease and, eventually, Holman was facing the prospect of having his leg amputated to stop the virus from spreading to other parts of his body. But Holman wisely refused that aggressive approach and opted to take morphine to keep the pain at bay while holding out hope that someone could figure out what the problem was before he was left with an unsightly stump where his leg used to be.
Enter the magic of television. During an otherwise normal albeit wheelchair bound day, Holman was watching a Discovery Channel documentary that featured a woman who suffered from symptoms that were strikingly similar to what he was going through. The cause of her malady turned out to be a bite from a Brown Recluse spider (a cliffhanger we probably spoiled by way of the huge picture of a spider at the top of this article).
He mentioned the documentary and the similarities to his physician who referred him to Pauline Edney at Fareham College's Community Leg Care Centre. Sure enough, Edney confirmed that Holman was indeed the victim of a poisonous spider bite. After several sessions of cleansing and treating the ever growing wound, it finally started to shrink and eventually closed altogether. He still has nerve damage as a result of the spider bite, but more importantly, he also still has his leg.
Way to save the day, television!

Tynan (The Name)
Now that I'm #1 on Google for my name, I've been getting more people to the site searching for that. Many of them share my name, which is awesome.
My parents chose the name out of a name book randomly. They wanted me to have a name that had no previous associations with anyone else. It's Irish, although I'm not Irish at all.
The dark side of having a unique name is that I missed out on a whole side of consumerism. I never had a little license plate or keychain with my name on it. Those were reserved for people with more common names.
One day in third grade a girl named Morgan Peck came into school carrying a thick book. I asked her about it and she told me that it was a name book. It had the meanings of everyone's name. She showed me her name, which meant "Horse Princess" or something like that. We looked for my name, but I wasn't hopeful. It was never included in those sorts of things.
This time it was. Tynan (Gaelic) : The Dark One.
Whoa. Either I'm evil or meant to rap. Who knows? I couldn't believe my good fortune getting such a badass name. Who would possibly name their kid that? I assumed my parents had no idea what it meant, but I later found out that they did know and interpreted it as meaning "mysterious".
The first time I encountered another Tynan was when I was a professional gambler. I got a reply back from a casino that said :
Before I answer your question, I have to let you know that my son's name is Tynan. He thinks it's the best name ever and has never met another Tynan before. Anyway, your withdrawal was processed...
I've still never met another Tynan in person, but a bunch of them have found my site, which is pretty awesome. Some day when I'm rich I will fly them all to Hawaii and we'll have a Tynan party.

1. The Orioles sign Albert Belle. He played nothing like he did in Cleveland to say the least. Some could say this began the stupid free agent era.
2. Orioles trade Curt Schilling and Steve Finley to Houston for Glenn Davis. The Orioles traded very likey two future H.O.F.ers for Glenn Davis who did pretty much nothing with the O's mainly due to injuries.
3. Orioles trade Sammy Sosa. Cubs get Mike Fontenot and Jerry Hairiston. We got Sammy thinking okay, he's the piece we need, he gives us more power to that lineup. One problem, he was no longer juiced! So as a result Sammy performed horribly!
I wrote this post since with the trade deadline is coming, I went over some of our worst trades and signings, Best Trades and Signings coming soon!
