Summer Elisabeth Sanders (born October 13, 1972) is an American former competition swimmer and Olympic champion. Sanders now works as a sports commentator, reporter, television show host and actress.
Sanders was born in Roseville, California and attended Cavitt Junior High School (just outside Roseville) and Oakmont High School there.
On Saturday, June 9, 2007, Sanders' childhood home was destroyed by a fire.[1]
By age three, Sanders could swim a lap of the pool. She wanted to be just like her older brother Trevor, so in 1976 she joined the Sugar Bears – an age-group swimming program in Roseville, California, coached by Mike Barsotti, Scott Winter and Scott O'Conner. From there she jumped to the Sierra Aquatic Club with coach Ralph Thomas, and finally to CCA under coach Mike Hastings.
At age 15, Sanders drew real attention from the swimming world when she barely missed earning a spot on the 1988 Olympic Team, finishing third in the 400 IM. In her first international meet she won a silver medal in the 200 IM behind Lin Li of China at the 1989 Pan Pacific Championships. At the 1991 Pan Pacific Championships, she won 400 IM (beating Lin Li) and the 200m butterfly.
In 1991, Sanders enrolled at Stanford University to swim under Hall of Fame coach Richard Quick. In her two-year collegiate swimming career, Sanders won eight NCAA National Championship titles, including the 200 butterfly, 200 IM and 400 IM and the 4x100 medley relay. She won back-to-back NCAA Swimmer of the Year titles and helped her Cardinal team win the 1992 NCAA National Championships.
Sanders won three medals at the 1991 World Championships in Perth, Australia, taking gold in the 200 Fly, silver in the 200 IM and bronze in the 400 IM. She then became the first U.S. woman since Hall of Famer Shirley Babashoff (1976) to qualify for four individual events at one Olympiad at the 1992 Olympic Trials.
At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, Sanders won four Olympic medals—gold in the 200-meter butterfly with an Olympic record time of 2:08.67, gold in the 400-meter medley relay, silver in the 200-meter individual medley, and a bronze medal in the 400-meter individual medley.[2]
Sanders began working on television while still competing. In 1992 and 1994 she was a commentator for CBS Sports for the NCAA Swimming Championships, In 1996, she was a commentator for NBC's coverage of swimming at the Atlanta Olympics. She acting as an Olympic analyst and host for NBC during the 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2010 Olympic Games, being a Today Show special contributor from 2000-2004 and contributed to the network's coverage of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City as an on-site reporter. She was also the host of Scholastic at the Olympic Games on MSNBC in 2000.
Summer spent eight years co-hosting NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad, being a sideline reporter for the WNBA (Lifetime, 1997–1999; NBC, 1999–2002) and a feature correspondent for NBA on NBC from 2000–2002. Covering tennis as a reporter for USA's coverage of the U.S. Open in 2000 and 2001, and co-host of CBS' coverage of "Arthur Ashe Kid's Day" at the Open from 2000 to 2006.
Sanders has appeared on a plethora of programs as correspondent, co-host, and host. Highlights include Nickelodeon named her their "commissioner" for the Nick GAS channel in 1998, after being the first female host of a Nickelodeon game show, Figure It Out (1997–1999).[4] Co-hosting for MTV's Sandblast in 1994, hosting the syndicated series US Olympic Gold (2002–2005), Beg, Borrow & Deal (ESPN, 2003), NBA TV's Mind, Body & Spirit (2003–2004)[4] and The Sports List (Fox Sports Net, 2004–2005).[5] Sanders also co-hosted the Fox celebrity reality series Skating With Celebrities in 2006.
In 2009, Sanders began hosting Inside Out with Summer Sanders. The show, which is the first original production of Universal Sports, debuted on December 23, 2009, and focuses on in-depth interviews and intimate profiles of notable Olympic athletes.[6] She also worked as a general correspondent for Good Morning America and Rachael Ray.[4]
Sanders was also a 2010 Winter Olympics correspondent for NBC/Universal Sports,

Donald Trump said the reason Sanders was fired was because she did not do a decent job defending herself when in the final two.
In January 2012, she was one of eight celebrities participating in the Food Network reality series Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off.[8]
Sanders hosted the awarding winning "Elite Athlete Workouts" on Yahoo!Sports and covered the 2012 Olympic Games in London for the news outlet. She currently works as a commentator on the new Pac-12 Network.

Take a guess: Which sex is more likely to be drawn to the true crime genre? In other words, are you more likely to see a man or a woman with a true crime book under that beach umbrella?
This is an interesting question that was recently addressed in a paper published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science (Vicary and Fraley, 2010). On the one hand, the authors note, we might think men would be more likely to read from this genre, since they tend to be the more violent sex. On the other hand, maybe women might be more attracted to the genre because of the survival tips they might glean from reading such accounts. This latter idea has been put forward by the evolutionary psychologist David Buss.

New solo album "In My Dreams I Can Fly"
Now on sale: CD Baby - Amazon - iTunes - purchase direct (preferred).
"this harks back to 60's and 70's in so much that we get accessible musical themes, melodies - make that oodles of melodies - and a feel good vibe throughout. Nothing pretentious, nothing to make your brain hurt trying to figure it out (although some licks will still leave your jaw on the floor), just 12 tracks that will give you as much fun listening to them as you suspect Berends had recording them. Overall this is a very enjoyable album that rewards on first listen and reveals new textures on each subsequent spin. It's not reinventing the wheel but its well written, well played and well produced and as such is a very enjoyable release and comes as recommended listening for any classic rock fan." - virtuosityone.com"a really nice job" - Mike Varney "splendid" - loudguitars.com

The days are noticeably shorter, the nights are colder. Winter is coming. Nooooooo!!! Summer was WAY too short!! However, now it is cooler and darker I am again working diligently on the music I began last Spring. Summer was mostly household maintenance, roof repair, plumbing problems, auto repairs, and other real-life crap demanding attention. Tedious and tiring, but better in summer than in winter. This is not to say I didn't make any musical progress at all, in fact quite the opposite. After living with my new compositions for a while I re-worked some things to get closer to my vision. It's taking shape. When a touch of writer's block hit (it happens) I did some radical remixing of older material, plus some covers as well, just to keep the juices flowing. Much time was devoted to learning new music software and how it interfaces with hardware. So, although I don't have anything to show for it yet, I covered a lot of ground and will have some new music out there before the end of the year, that's a promise. I do miss playing out live, but that will take time to get together. I feel like I am starting over from scratch in some ways which is both exciting and frustrating at the same time. I want it to happen NOW!
Meanwhile, I've booked myself on NASA's Orion mission to Mars! The first test flight is December 4th, 2014! Well, my name is going anyway. Getting ready to earn myself 60,000 space flyer miles!

Spring has sprung, finally, sort of - still pretty darn chilly - but at least the damn winter is over. The last live show I played was Thanksgiving 2013 by which time I knew that I really needed a break from the cover band gigs. So, although I haven't been out performing, I have been busy all winter (and now spring) composing new music and have to say it feels really good. I've written a lot of new material I am quite pleased with and have been fleshing it out in the computer as you can see in the photo there, behind me.
Though I do miss being out and playing for people, I don't miss the bar scene at all. I never set out in life to be a cover musician and I don't want to end up as just another old guy playing old music for old people. I aspire to much more than that and still believe I have it in me. Though it was enjoyable to revisit my roots as a guitarist, and I think it was good for me, it went on for far too long and just got to be soul crushing. Time to retreat, rethink, reinvent.
What this means is The Berends Brothers Band as it was, is no more. Can't do that anymore. If we reappear under that moniker again it will be something quite different. Also, as much as I got a kick out of playing Mahavishnu Orchestra stuff with Calvin Weston's Treasures of the Spirit band, I won't be doing that anymore either. It was fun for a while, but it's time to move on. Will this mean the return of Mastermind? Doubtful, but anything is possible.
I'd like to thank everyone that supports my work with their purchase of In My Dreams I Can Fly. I feel like that was the culmination of my pure guitar explorations and now I am delving back into synthesizers and other electronic weirdness. So stay tuned, join the mailing list to be first to know when I release something new. Sometime this year for sure. I'm not sure what it will be called or how I will release it. Perhaps by putting it on Soundcloud sort of anonymously and see what happens. If reactions are positive I may do another kickstarter. Not sure yet. Anyway... I just wanted to say I'm not dead yet! I haven't retired from making music and feel genuinely excited and enthusiastic about what I'm doing for the first time in a quite a long time. And now for something completely different. :)

A nice new review of In My Dreams I Can Fly is now up on Music Street Journal... check it out! And a new video for Paper Planes....
In other news: The Berends Brothers Band is taking a break from live performance for a while to concentrate on new original music. If cabin fever or frost bite doesn't get me first, I expect to be back out live in 2014 in one form or another. Some new recorded music should come before that.. check back often to see what's up. Thanks for visiting!

The Berends Brothers Band is playing a cool theater show at The Rotunda at U. of Penn in Philadelphia, this Thursday, Oct. 24th, 2013. Check out the event listing, download the press release PDF, and visit the schedule page for map links and more info. All ages, FREE admission, 8pm-10pm. It's been a while since we've played on a bigger stage, so I am looking forward to it... should be a great show!
Now the weather is getting colder it's time to get back in the studio cave and record some new music. Summer was far too short to suit me! But this most likely means fewer lives shows - one or two more before the end of the year (unless something else comes along which is possible, we'll see) - so come on out now before it's freezing cold and have some fun, say hello. I hope to see you there!

9/11/01... I will never forget. I recently uploaded a few tracks off the Mastermind 'Insomnia' album to the Mastermind youtube channel (courtesy of Lion Music) for everyone to enjoy and share. While I was thinking about it I wrote an entry for the Mastermind blog relating how the events of that fateful day twelve years ago influenced the music. Some things Mastermind fans may not be aware of, shedding some light on the darker moments on the album and the artwork. It hardly seems like twelve years have gone by [ more ]...

Genius! Guy Makes Music With Kitchen Equipment
Proof that you can literally make music with anything, especially anything with an electric current. Hats off to this guy for making it happen. Cool video.
Proof that you can literally make music with anything, especially anything with an electric current. Hats off to this guy for making it happen. Cool video.
I'm fighting this battle with my five (soon to be six) year old daughter. I sent her into an overdramatic frenzy just a few days ago, attempting to pull out a tooth that wasn't as loose as I originally thought. Maybe something like this will help.
Watch the vid. Living here in South Texas, how many of us have to stake down our trampolines and playground sets because of the gusting winds? Probably a lot of us.
I actually had a trampoline thrown by the wind not too long ao. In fact, in my old ass 1902 house, the wind blew so hard against a particular side of my house, the cabinets on my kitchen wall were all wide open when I woke up one Sunday morning. So the 100 mph winds in this video doesn't necessarily impress me. BUT...the hilarious Scottish accent does. Check it out.
Guarantee ya these students won't forget this presentation. You do what you have to do to get through to today's kids. Check out the vid. It's pretty cool.
Some things are just too cool to not share with everyone. This is one of those things. Check out this video.
The British motoring show 'Fifth Gear' staged one of the world's most horrific looking and sounding car crash tests by running a Ford Focus head-on into a concrete wall at 120 mph.
Pediatricians and development experts have strongly urged parents, once again, to limit the amount of television their young children watch.
The American Academy of Pediatrics released a recommendation to all parents of children under 2 years old Tuesday. It stressed that any time spent in front of a video screen provides no educational benefits for children under age 2 and can even delay development by leaving less time for important interaction and play.
According to a new study, scientists may have come one step closer to finally proving the existence of the mythological sea beast familiar to fans of 'Clash of the Titans' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' Release possible evidence of the Kraken!
The guy who is conducting this experiment, in this video, is right. "Poop Splash" is something we have all experienced. It is also something that we could all do without.
This guy has put together an interesting experiment about "poop splash". So put on your goggles and lab coat and let's get dumping.
Enjoy the vid.
Insomnia isn't just a bad deal for those who suffer through it.
It's also a bad deal for the nation's economy.
Anybody who's ever boarded an airplane knows that there is something terribly inefficient about the slow, agonizing process. Astrophysicist Jason Steffen decided to do something about the messy procedure, using science to develop a plane boarding method that cuts seating times in half.

South Pointe's adaptation of the musical "Tarzan," based on the popular 1999 Disney film, hits all the plot points and creates a familiar atmosphere but doesn't quite capture the magic of the movie.
The set wasn't bad for a high school play. Some of the trees may have looked more like brown chimneys than tree trunks, but much detail was put into the jungle environment, which is important in a play that has merely one set to keep the audience interested.
The platforms the gorillas rested on and the use of blue sheets to create ocean waves and rivers were clever and visually appealing. One impressive scene showcases the color green, with latex flowers and plants dancing as Jane's dress transforms into a spider web.
But the costumes of most of the gorillas weren't as impressive. It took a while to realize the actors were playing gorillas, for those costumes made them appear more like jungle natives with war makeup and brown garb. The only characters that actually looked like apes were Kerchak and Terk, who wore black fuzzy costumes; the other gorillas, especially the important Kala, lacked that authenticity.
The cast was fine overall, but not a single performance blew me away. Ammon Strong as Tarzan and Lauren Ramsey as Jane had good chemistry and were among the better actors. Jordan C. Davis stood out as the gruffly empowering Kerchak, and Charday Sparks provided a strong foil to him with a more gentle and sensitive personality as Kala.
Justin Norwood delivered a strong performance as the humorous Terk, and Bobby Faris provided plenty of laughs with his animated portrayal of Mr. Porter. Matthew Newman depicted a believably narcissistic and greed-driven antagonist in Clayton.
The singing was fine, but not necessarily worthy of the spotlight for pretty much any character. One of the biggest problems was the volume of the wireless microphones intermixed with the louder music. The vocals were hard to hear, and Liam Faulkenberry sang with a falsetto voice that didn't work for young Tarzan.
Overall, the show didn't deliver the amount of magic and energy it should have. When the magic did shine, it was a rare signal of what might have come from a cast that I know and have seen do better.

More reviews by electrik_aurora
I have the one in ruby melt, and I find it a very nice sheer red that is not overpowering at all, and just brightens my face a little. I'm pretty sure ruby melt isn't one of those 'anywoman' colours though. It could be considered a pretty bright red. I've never tried the black honey colour that everyone seems to like, but I may soon.
I LOVE Almost Lipsticks.I have 'Almost Blush' and 'Ruby Melt'. They go on sheer and smooth and there isn't a bad smell/taste which is really important to me.
the blackberry color is some wonderful stuff, I agree with one of the ladies below, it is the perfect shade for women with fair skin and dark hair. I have a hard time finding lipstick I like but this is a winner on all counts. There is a bit of touch up during the day, but nothing major and I think it lasts longer than most liptints tend to. I do not find it dries my lips at all, in fact, they feel quite hydrated, which is a very nice effect for me since I hate dry lips. Also, there is no taste or smell, which is wonderful for me since I hate feeling like I am eating my lipstick:) The color is sheer and pretty and the packaging is also nice. Would love to try some of the other shades, this one is definitely a HG for me!
IMO Clinique makes the most natural and wearable l/s colors - I've never tried one that doesn't look good on me, and I have a ton of them... The texture is nice, never gooey, wears well (though not very long-lasting), and has no strange flavor/scent. The colors are true and don't change on you. Nothing exciting, just perfect everyday lipsticks.

I love Cliniques almost lipstick is a wonderful product! I wear it in blackberry. It goes on sheer with just the right amount of color. I am a brunette with pale skin and have had a love afair with blackberry lipsticks since I have been a teen. This will always be an all time fav. :)

I love this lipstick for daytime. It's lightweight, feels very nice on my lips, moisturizes.
It's sheer and nice for a light daytime look and is glossy without the goopiness of a gloss.
I don't mind the taste either which is often a problem with lipsticks for me.
i really like clinique's almost lipstick, it's sheer, not drying, but smooth and slick on my lips. i own almost kissed and used it religiously! i esp love to put gloss over it! it doesn't have staying power, that's one downside. you can't go wrong applying this w/o a mirror tho. since i've own 2 of these already and i'm on the VERY bottom of my 2nd one, i decided not to repurchase because i wanted a change and a new color, but i coudlnt find any other color that suited me. i'm waiting for it to come out w/more colors. def an everyday wear lipstick for me, not too much color and a comfortable wear.
I always come back to clinique for lipstick I love all of there lipsticks cant beat the quality or color selection. I love the sheer application of the almost lipsticks and they feel moist on my lips. I have many colors as you cant beat the price
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wore almost lipstick all the way through college, and my fav color was Black Honey. It amplified the natural color of my lips and looked wonderful. Don't be fooled by how dark the tube is, it looks much better on. I have tried Bronze Lilac, but it fades to a strange color on my lips. Almost Kissed is a good light pink.
not a winner in my list

Our Razorblade Symphony chapter 25Chapter 25 - Posters on the ceiling.
"The house is a bit different since when you left, Andy." Mom pressed, turning onto out street. Not much was different from the last time I was here, the trees got a little bigger and a couple houses had been re-painted. Some cars had changed or else the owners had moved out and some of the old bumps in the sidewalk were paved and fixed. Ashley smiled and took my hand as we pulled up to my house, the car squeeking as mom turned horizontally in front of what I presumed to be my house.
"We're here."
I felt my eyebrows fly to my hairline and shock run through me. The house actually looked...nice. The evergreen tree green color replaced with a lime-like green color, the windows were uncracked and the yard was neat looking with only a few dead patches here and there, and around the tree roots that stuck through the earth in some spots. The hedges that usually grew over the front step were trimmed into small bushes and the house numbers went from a rusted
Before Dawn's Break
Now I lay me down to sleep,
an empty pill bottle left on the sink.
A razor blade left in my wake,
another soul for death to take.
Now, if I die before dawn's break,
no one will remember me by tomorrow.
Our Razorblade Symphony - Chapter 23Chapter 24 - Aftermath.
I swore softly as I slowly peeled off the multiple bandaids I had stuck to my leg. The tan tape like material ripping at the hair under the sticky part. Luckily, it didn't peel off any of the giant scab that had formed over the cut.
I watched as blood began to swell around the cut and run down the side of my thigh. After the blood came the sting, like millions of tiny needles were being pushed into my skin and moved around in agonizing circles inside of it. I swore again and quickly rushed to the bathroom, grabbing a black washcloth and pressing it against my thigh.
"Ashley you fucking idiot!" I screamed at myself as I felt the small towel sink under the wetness of blood. I kicked off my underwear and climbed into the bathtub, trying to find a good tempature. I knew warm water killed bacteria but cool water felt better on it I bet. I chose lukewarm water and sat next to the tap, letting the water pour onto it and wash the still flowing blood away.
I turned o
DepressionHave you seen past that smile?
Have you seen past her makeup and fake laugh?
Haven't you wonder why she barely talk?
Haven't you wonder why she doesn't eat that much when she out?
Look pass that smile.
Look pass the makeup and fake laugh.
Look in to the pain.
Look in to the sadness.
She starves her self most days.
She doesn't talk for fare she will say the wrong things.
There is more to her then you know.
There is less of her ever day.
Depression takes over her body.
Depression takes over her mind.
MasksEveryone wears a mask
Whether it be of smiling or pain
Hate or Love
Shame or pride
Ego or Anger
Everyone wears a mask
It cracks sometimes
People can see through the chipped paint
See past the fake
See past the facade
We all wear masks
Ones of animals
Ones of other people
Ones that we would like to be
Ones that we hate
We all have a mask
Something we can hide behind
Something we can use to fight
Something that keeps us safe
Keeps us okay in the beginning
These masks
Keep our secrets
Hold our treasures in locked vaults
Keep our hearts from breaking
Keep the tears from showing
We all have masks
You can paint them up
It can be anything
Because no one can see past the mask
No one knows what anyone's face really looks like

Feels Like Home - AndleyLove isn't something you can just dismiss into the wind, something you can forget about. True love strikes you at the worst moments and leaves you breathless. It leaves your soul, the very core of your existence, begging for more. Simply laying eyes upon that lucky person makes every single cell in your body vibrate with pure energy and unadulterated love. Their voice sends shivers down your spine and one look into their god-sent eyes is like a gift bestowed upon you by the highest powers of heaven. The smallest touch can be felt days afterwards, a delicate heat that warms even the darkest depths of your heart. Every heartbeat and electric impulse, all of it whispers their name through the life blood slipping through your veins; every breath and blink of your eyes exists because they do.
Everything you do belongs to them because your heart is their's. It always has been and always will be.
They Won't Be Hurting You Anymore... - AndleyFighting back never entered my mind- any attempt would be futile and, in any case, it was easier just to grin and bear their attacks and pretend that nothing was wrong...
The end of the school day saw me limping the five minute walk home, an ungodly pain in my left wrist...I don't know if I'll be able to hide this...
I don't live with my parents -ha, they're not even worthy of that title- I live with my best friends and band-mates. My brothers...the only people who genuinely love me and care about me.
I'm the only one still in high school, the youngest. I want to be a graphic designer, and go to college, so I'm staying in school. Currently a junior. They all dropped out during summer vacation, meaning that I've spent the last three months alone, subject to the abuse of bullies who make my life hell daily, just for being me: Ashley Purdy. At least when my brothers were with me, it was bearable...but then again, I've been subjected to abuse my whole life, so b
He Finally Found Someone (Andley)It was a cloudy, rainy day at a countryside of Nookwood, Idaho. Ashley Purdy had invited his friend, Andy Biersack, to spend the day at his house. So there they were, sitting on the old, creaky country porch. They were covered by the roof that was connected to the porch so they wouldn't get wet. Ashley looked over the country field that spread out for miles. Ashley loved it when it rained.
Ashley's attention was soon grabbed by another thing he loved.
Andy tried to blow his bangs out of his dazzling blue eyes, when that didn't work, he just gave in, and pushed them out of his face with his own hands. Ashley thought it was just adorable whenever Andy did this.
Andy had long blond hair, which was different from Ashley, who had long black hair. Andy was tall, while Ashley was short. Ashley had warm brown eyes, when Andy had sparkling blue. Andy had a pale skin tone, and Ashley was naturally tan.
They were an odd couple of friends, strangers would stare at the pair whenever Ashley and Andy
The Scientist: AndleyCome up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
I gripped the roses in my shaking hands, and paid the smiling girl behind the counter.
"Thank you." I said, forcing myself to return her bright smile.
"Your girlfriend must be very lucky to have you," she said. "Those are the best roses." My smile wavered slightly.
"Yes She She is." I tried to keep my voice from going shaky too. She smiled again as I turned to walk away. I pushed open the door, to here that little happy tinkle from the bell. My heart fell a little. It seemed everyone was happy apart from me. I held the bloodred roses to my chest, and walked away from the place that sung out it's little, happy tune.
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
I closed my eyes a little, and took a deep breath. It was close now, I jus
Kiss The Lips Of Evil Ch. 35 - Andy
"How about Dennis if it's a boy." I smiled pushing the cart down the isle. Ash and I have been married for seven years and a little over nine months ago we decided to have a baby. He was visiting his Mom and Dad for a while.
"Great. And Ashlynn if it's a girl." He laughed into the phone. "I miss you."
"I miss you too. Come home soon though, I've got good news for you." I was bubbling over. I wanted to tell him the news, but I had to wait until I saw the expression on his face.
"I'll be back tomorrow night. Wait up for me?"
"I will."
"Love you baby."
"Love you too Ashley. Bye." I hung up the phone and went down the isle for toys. I couldn't wait until Ash was home.
"Baby, I'm home." I heard him call from the front door. I ran down the stairs and jumped into his arms. "I missed you so much." He smiled. We moved into a house in a small suburb a few years ago when we started talking about babies.
"I know. Come upstairs to the babies room. I want to show you something." I kissed him and pul
Only Sleeping: AndleyI looked at his sleeping form from the doorway. Watching him sleep had always brought a smile to my lips, and it almost did even now. Then I remembered that he wasn't only sleeping. The one I love was in a coma, and had been for nearly two years. The doctors kept telling me I didn't need to come in everyday due to the fact that he wasn't likely to wake up anytime soon, but I didn't care I came to visit him every day anyway. He was there and I had to be here to help his unconscious self find him. One day he would wake up.
Nobody, not even the doctors, knew why he had fallen into a coma. They had thought maybe it had been due to stress, but they had said he would have woken up by now if that had been the cause.
I walked over to the hospital bed that held my baby and a tear rolled down my cheek. No matter how long I had to get used to this, seeing him lying there with all those wires hooked up to him was still enough to make me cry.
Sitting on the bed next to him I looked at the calendar.
Knives and Pens:We Stitch These Wounds - Chapter 1
Wednesday's P.O.V
Beep Beep Beep
I growled animalistically and rolled over in bed, hitching the covers up around my head in attempt to block out the annoying beeping sound of my alarm. It worked, the alarm now just a vague warning to wake up in the back of my mind, my eyes closed once again and before I knew it I was snoring contently.
This was a typical day for me, wake up, be bored at school, work then drag my ass home back to my alcoholic bitch of a mother. It all but drained me hence why I was so intent on staying in bed for as long as I could and to be perfectly honest I didn't have the strength to sit through double maths with Mr Henshaw. I swear that man was out to get me, I didn't even have to raise my finger before he issued me with a string of detentions, just my rotten luck.
"Wednesday," came a slurred voice, speak of the devil.
"Go away bitch," I shouted at my mother, who was now rapping at the door insistently.
Suddenly the door swung open and less then a second la

Adam Rainer
Adam Rainer (1899 – 4 March 1950) is the only person in recorded history to have been both a dwarf and a giant.[1]
Rainer was born in Graz, Austria-Hungary.[2] In 1917, at age 18, he was measured at 122.55 cm (4 ft 0.25 in). A typical defining characteristic of dwarfism is an adult height below 147 cm (4 ft 10 in). Then, likely as a result of a pituitary tumor, he had a dramatic growth spurt so that by 1931 he had reached a height of 218 cm (7 ft 2 in).[3] As a result of his gigantism he became bedridden for the rest of his life.[2] When he died in 1950 he had reached a height of 234 cm (7 ft 8 in).[4] His feet measured 33.3 cm (13.1 inches)[citation needed], and his hands 23.9 cm (9.4 inches)[citation needed]. He weighed 109 kg (241 pounds)[citation needed].

When Physicians See Costs, They Act Like Consumers
Healthcare consumers who are unaware of the varying costs of routine medical tests may take solace in knowing that many physicians don't either.
"Doctors have been shielded from costs for generations," says Leonard S. Feldman, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
"As these systems were developing people thought it was inappropriate to expose the physicians to while they were making decisions about care. Most physicians have no idea what the costs are for whatever they're prescribing. We have never really certainly competed with one another on a regular basis based on price."
Feldman says hospitals keep patients and doctors in the dark on the cost of medical services, which contributes to the soaring cost of healthcare in the United States. With those costs poised to consume about 20% of the national economy, Feldman doctors will have to become more cost savvy.
"At this juncture in society and the world we live in, we can't afford that luxury anymore of taking into consideration these important issues," he says.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Tubor Rathke (4/16/2013 at 1:26 PM)
The public has been bamboozled into believing that doctors order extra tests, driving up the cost of healthcare, because they fear malpractice lawsuits. Here is proof that doctors do extra testing because it's faster, more accurate, and easier than trying to diagnosis using a physical exam alone and that, when they don't have to worry about costs, they don't worry about costs.
flpoggio (4/16/2013 at 10:33 AM)
Nothing new here. This study has been done a thousand times. When I was the CFO at Univ of Wisconsin in 1977 we did this very same project, and got the same results. But here's what we learned afer six months. The test order volumes fall off for about three months, then the docs get conditioned to it, rationalize why the tests are necessary, and in about 6 months the volume is back where it was. One way they rationalize it is saying "hey, the patient isn't paying for it, the einsurance company is or Medicare, so it's little or no cost to the patient". The only real change that happens that sticks is when the doc has some skin in the game, ala Mayo (or ACO).

We would like to install O365 University Edition on laptops for a specific set of students who receive a free laptop. The students will then activate the software using a key-card which we provide.
The idea is to simply pre-install o365 University Edition for them to make it easier but then they will activate it.
Any ideas about how we can do this? I am failing to find a 30-day installer of o365 University Edition.

Paddle tennis started in the late 1920s as an outlet for tennis enthusiasts seeking to keep their skills sharp during New England's long, cold winters. Instead of hanging up their racquets for the season, these sportsmen created a new game involving a smaller court, wire fencing, and—most importantly—a heat source to melt the ice and keep the players warm. Paddle tennis, or as it is sometimes referred to, platform tennis, has grown in popularity over the years, with new public …

Youngman column: This Ducks team has to stay out of penalty box to win.
ANAHEIM – If former Ducks general manager Brian Burke had been watching, he wouldn't have believed it.
Remember how the Ducks bullied their way to the Stanley Cup in 2007, flexing their muscles and intimidating opponents by displaying what the Harvard law school-educated Burke called the "proper levels of pugnacity, belligerence, truculence and testosterone"?
And after this year's Ducks began the season by piling up 145 penalty minutes in three consecutive blowout losses on the road, Burke wouldn't have been the only one incredulous that they committed only one two-minute minor in the final two periods of a 4-3 victory in Wednesday's home opener against consensus Cup contender Vancouver.
It became even more obvious that there had been a dramatic philosophical change when the Ducks committed only two penalties in the first two periods Friday night and took a 3-2 lead over Atlanta in the third.
Three penalties in four periods? Someone call the Ducks historian and then call Ripley.
"The game is so easy when you play five-on-five and the other team is taking more penalties," Teemu Selanne, the leading scorer in Ducks history, said after Friday's game. "That's the way this team has to play."
Those words, however, were spoken by a seething Selanne after the Ducks had reverted to their old ways, squandering a 4-2 lead in the third period by committing three penalties and allowing two power-play goals en route to a thoroughly frustrating 5-4 shootout loss to the Thrashers.
"Momentum changes when you don't do the right thing," Selanne said. "Those penalties cost us the game, and there's no reason for that. This team has to play smart and not take penalties. That's what is so frustrating.
"We're going to win a lot of games, but you've got to be smarter than that."
Specifically, they have to be smarter than defenseman Brendan Mikkelson taking a careless high-sticking penalty near the crease with 11:10 left and a 4-2 lead, leading to a power-play goal that made it 3-2. And smarter than winger Corey Perry taking a slashing penalty — in the offensive zone, to boot — with 6:12 left, leading to Atlanta's tying power-play goal.
Perry's penalty was beyond foolish, because after failing to get a shot off in the offensive zone, he turned around and whacked Atlanta defenseman Alexander Burmistrov in the leg, swinging his stick so hard it shattered like a baseball bat.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle tried to use positive spin on a shootout loss — "It's not like we lost; we got a point and something to build on," he said — but he did not sugar-coat the turning point of the game.
"Corey Perry's penalty was an unacceptable penalty at a critical time," Carlyle said.
And Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf called it an "unacceptable" loss.
"We were doing such a good job of staying out of the (penalty) box," Getzlaf said. "But we all have to do it. ... Any time you score four goals, you should win the hockey game. But we made some mental mistakes."

List items
1. Shenmue II
Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I am a gigantic Shenmue fanboy. A lot of folk might consider the game boring and simple, but this series has always held a special place in my heart. The world, the characters, the story - while the game did many things but mastered none of them, there was just a certain unexplainable charm to Shenmue. The second game in the series sort of left us hanging with a lot of unanswered questions and loose ends that needed tying up. If I recall, the series was setup to be a trilogy, and the lack of a third game frustrates those that love the series the most. While I know it'll never happen, I still hold on hope that we'll see the games store wrapped up in some form. I'd even settle for a direct to video film or a comic book at this point.
2. Power Stone 2
I loved the Dreamcast. It came out during a time when companies like SEGA and Capcom were willing to put it all on the line and try something new and different. A prime example of this was the Power Stone series.
Now I know what you're thinking, and yes I realize the game is incredibly similar to your beloved Smash Brothers. Don't get me wrong, I love Smash Brothers as much as the next guy, but Power Stone just brought something special to the table. With its quirky and original cast of wacky characters, out of this world special moves and battles - there was just so much fun to be had with this one. I was really excited when I heard the news about Power Stone Collections, but then I remembered that I have no interest in the PSP at all.
Capcom is sitting on a really good thing here, and this game almost seems like it belongs on the XBox360. I hope they finally come to their senses and finally give this franchise the sequel it deserves.
3. Jade Empire
Ah, Jade Empire...
In a time where most RPG's were fantasy/sword and sorcery type games, Jade Empire brought something fresh and different to the genre (at least in my opinion). I loved the KOTOR games, but the Star Wars setting never really did anything. As someone who has always had an interest in Ancient China fiction, Jade Empire was right up my alley.
If you're a fan of BioWare rpg's and ancient China, then this is a must play.
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Yes, I know about Chaos Bleeds. I also happen to know it was made by a completely different developer AND I also happen to know that it was TERRIBLE! While I loved the spirit of Chaos Bleeds, the gamplay just was not there. The Collective developed original was a much better game. With fast and furious action packed fights, stellar gameplay and fully voiced characters from the show, this game was an instant classic for a hardcore Buffy fan like myself.
I'd really love to see a direct sequel to this game in particular, developed by The Collective. Hell, it doesn't even have to be a Buffy title. I would just really love to see this engine and style of gameplay return. Everything just felt so right with this game. I remember a game they were developing called Harker, which was supposed to run off the same engine and feature the same gameplay, but sadly was canned. I was heartbroken by the news, considering I was really excited to see this come back. It's kind of sad to see such potential being wasted on games like GI Joe: Rise of Cobra.
5. Parasite Eve
I loved Parasite Eve back in the day. I also loved Parasite Eve II, even though a lot of the hardcore fans weren't so into it. I feel like there is more that can be done with this story, and it's a shame we only got two games out of it. Aya Brea one of few very strong and interesting female characters in gaming and she needs to return!
I heard there might be a third game in the form of a PSP or mobile release in Japan...
Bring Parasite Eve to my PS3 or 360!

Citizen Scientists are invited to participate in the "Summer of Bugs" at Valley Forge National Historical Park
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, sits on a milkweed pod in Valley Forge NHP
News Release Date: May 9, 2014
Valley Forge, PA –Valley Forge National Historical Park and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University are partnering in the Summer of Bugs, a summer-long inventory of the park's terrestrial invertebrates, better known as land bugs. Together, the park and the academy invite those interested in learning about and contributing to the research to act as "citizen scientists" by observing and participating in two 24-hour BioBlitz events and a summer-long invertebrate "photoblitz." Activities are available for "scientists" of all ages and experience levels. The park will kick off the Summer of Bugs on May 30 with a 24-hour BioBlitz based in the park's Education Center. Base camp will be open to the public from 2:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 30, and from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 31 with a special photography workshop from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Follow the project this summer and share your discoveries by using the hashtag, #summerofbugs.
"The BioBlitzs will help the park collect data on a group of animals for which the park has very little information," shared Amy Ruhe, Biologist at Valley Forge NHP. "Terrestrial invertebrates represent our last major data gap. Conducting blitzs during two different seasons will provide the greatest opportunity to catalogue the variety of species in the park and enable more volunteers to participate in the activities."
All events are free and open to the public. Select events during the August BioBlitz require advanced registration and have recommended age and skill levels. For more information on the August BioBlitz and how to sign up to be a citizen scientist, visit nps.gov/vafo.
Spring BioBlitz, May 30-31
Invertebrate PhotoBlitz with iNaturalist.org
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is a world-class natural history museum dedicated to advancing research, education, and public engagement in biodiversity and environmental science. Learn more about the Academy at www.ansp.org.
For more information about Valley Forge NHP, please visit our website at www.nps.gov/vafo or call 610-783-1099.

Overtime battle
Vernon holds off Hirschi to take over first in District 5-3A
Hirschi's Camille Lee scored a season-high 31 points, but it was not enough to put away Vernon as the Lady Huskies fell to the Lady Lions 77-71 in a close overtime loss Tuesday evening in District 5-3A play.
The physical play of both teams' defenses brought the game down to free throw conversions, as the Lady Lions shot 26-of-34 from the line while the Lady Huskies shot 20-of-32.
The Lady Huskies trailed the Lady Lions 36-29 going into the second half thanks to hot shooting from Miranda Drennan. Drennan caught fire near the end of the second quarter scoring 10 of her 12 points to help give the Lady Lions the edge.
The Lady Huskies came back refocused in the second half and took a four-point lead by the end of the third quarter, outscoring the Lady Lions 24-13 thanks to Lee and Nia Lewis' offensive output. Lee scored 12 of her 31 points in the third quarter, and Lewis found her shot, scoring eight of her 25 points in this quarter as well.
After a back-and-forth fourth quarter the Lady Lions were able to get the best of the Lady Huskies with a 15-11 run to send the game into overtime. The Lady Lions took advantage of the Lady Huskies' foul troubles that plagued them the entire game and converted five-of-six attempts in the extra period to take a slight two-point lead with less than a minute to play.
Bench players Adasha Wilson and Jaylan Thomas also came up big for the Lady Lions, combining for six points off layups to secure the win. Wilson finished the night as Vernon's leading scorer with 18 points, and Kia Dixon chipped in 15 points of her own.
"We had too many mistakes, and that'll hurt you," Hirschi coach Leta Lofton said. "We should have been more comfortable being at home, and they forced us out of some of the things we liked to do. You have to go out and play your game. "
The Lady Huskies are now 2-1 in district play, while the Lady Lions improve to 2-0. The Lady Huskies play Friday at Graham, which notched a road win in Burkburnett Tuesday.
