December 22, 2014
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Ivo Karlovic of Croatia has hit 46 aces in a close third-round upset of No. 9-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Wimbledon.
The 22nd-seeded Karlovic never faced a break point Friday and ended his 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) victory over the 2008 Australian Open runner-up with an ace.
He will play seventh-seeded Fernando Verdasco of Spain in the fourth round.
Karlovic, the tour leader in aces in 2009, hit a modern-era record 55 in a loss at the French Open last month.
He is best known for stunning 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt in Wimbledon's first round the following year. The Karlovic lost his opening matches at the All England Club from 2005 to '08.

Defeating Goku
Use the following trick to defeat Goku on level 4. Goku goes for a personality win and sometimes that is very hard to counter. He has a red style Tokui-Waza that also gives him +2 extra anger. Choose Gohan as your fighter and go trough all the levels. Fight everyone at least eight to ten times. By the time you get to level 4, you should have Gohan Empowered, which is his fourth personality. Goku does not have a fourth personality -- he will get up to his third stage and remain at level 3 with 5 Anger for the entire match. He also has poor cards that do almost no damage.

Canon Introduces New EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS STM Telephoto Zoom Lens
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to introduce the new EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM telephoto zoom lens. Created to be the perfect companion lens for the EOS 70D, EOS Rebel SL1 and EOS Rebel T5i Digital SLR cameras, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens expands Canon's line of Stepping Motor (STM) lenses to six models – the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, EF-M 22mm f/2.0 and the new EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. Canon's Stepping Motor lenses allow for the capture of high-quality still and video images and reduce motor noise from the lens so cameras, such as the new EOS 70D, will capture the sound of the video scene being recorded without the interruption of noise by the focusing motors.
The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM telephoto zoom lens offers high magnification in a compact and lightweight EF-S telephoto zoom lens with an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 3.5* equivalent stops for shake correction. The lens' stepping motor and newly-designed focus mechanism support Canon EOS Movie Servo AF (available on select EOS cameras) to provide smooth and quiet continuous autofocusing during video shooting, as well as when shooting photos.
"The addition of the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens to the STM family of lenses strengthens Canon's support for the growing number of photographers and video enthusiasts utilizing DSLRs to not only shoot high-quality still images but video too," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. "Noise reduction in movie mode is essential and video aficionados will particularly find the silent and smooth auto-focus capabilities of this new lens outstanding."
The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM telephoto zoom lens features one UD lens element, reducing chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range for excellent image quality with high resolution and contrast. It features enhanced lens coatings to help ensure superb color balance while minimizing ghosting and flare and a 7-blade circular aperture creates beautiful, soft backgrounds. For outstanding performance, a new compact six-group zoom system provides a maximum magnification of 0.29x at the telephoto end. Full-time manual focus is available in AF mode. The front element does not rotate during focus, which is beneficial when using polarizing filters. Minimum focusing distance is 2.79 ft./0.85m. The lens' rear focusing system, high-speed CPU and improved AF algorithm allow for high-speed autofocusing.

Capsule/Summary****Mrs. Miniver, William Wyler's cinematic adaptation of Jan Struthers' novel of upper-middle class British life during wartime, was showered with kudos and Oscars upon its initial release by MGM in 1942. While the elements of propaganda inherent to the production prevent it from working as well for modern audiences as other similarly lauded films from the golden age of Hollywood, it still plays as an effective tribute to the Human Spirit and to the British national character exhibited during the horrific days of the Nazi Blitz of London. It is presented on Blu-ray disc with an outstanding transfer that improves on what was already a very good previous DVD presentation via increased audio and video resolution coupled with some skillful noise reduction that removes minor bits of previously visible film element damage. Extras, consisting primarily of vintage short subjects, are carried over from the DVD release with the addition of a Tex Avery cartoon and the subtraction of a stills gallery.
Mrs. Miniver
Directed by: William Wyler
Starring: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, Dame May Whitty, Reginald Owen, Henry Travers, Richard Ney, Henry Wilcoxon, Helmut Dantine
| Studio: Warner Bros.
Year: 1942
Rated: NR
Film Length: 133 Minutes
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Subtitles: English SDH,French, German SDH, Italian SDH, Spanish(Latin), Spanish (Castillan), Korean
Release Date: January 8, 2013
The Film
Mrs. Miniver chronicles the lives of the Miniver family, an upper-middle class London family consisting of successful architect Clem (Pidgeon), his wife Kay (Garson), their college age son Vin (Ney), daughter Judy, and youngest son Toby. Beginning in the late 1930s, their biggest troubles appear to be hiding their extravagant purchases from each other. As England is drawn into War with Germany, they adapt and endure, contributing to the war effort in ways both conventional and surprising, enduring the terror, destruction, and personal tragedy brought on by the Nazi "Blitz", and through it all going on with their lives with courage and resolve.
Mrs. Miniver was an effective piece of propaganda upon its original release in 1942. That being said, Director William Wyler's involvement insured that it was far from artless propaganda. Wyler's typical firm but nigh invisible hand steers the film through its episodic,emotional beats at a deliberate pace that builds viewer empathy to the Miniver family and their experience of life during wartime so effectively, that the occasional trappings of propaganda such as a fugitive Nazi flier (Danitine) who stirs himself from exhaustion and desperation to spout cocksure hate speech and a Vicar (Wilcoxon) who concludes the film with an extended sermon that Winston Churchill would be proud to call his own, feel more dramatically earned than disruptive (okay, it works out to about seven parts dramatically earned to three parts disruptive). Removed from its immediate wartime context, it still plays as a moving tribute to the human spirit in general and the concept of British "stiff-upper-lipped-ness" in particular.
Greer Garson is well cast, effortlessly embodying the grace, vulnerability, and resourcefulness of the title character who is at turns sweet and demure enough to inspire an amateur botanist to name a rose after her and steely determined enough to contend with fugitive Nazis and imposing future in-law Lady Beldon (Whitty).
As with many classic Hollywood productions set in England, the cast exhibits a gallimaufry of accents ranging from the familiar natural speaking tone of London native Garson, the natural Northumberland accent of actor Henry Travers (who routinely affected a convincing American accent in Hollywood productions), the stage-honed Lordly intonations of Dame May Whitty, the "comes and goes" attempt at a British accent by American Richard Ney, and the lack of any attempt at sounding British whatsoever approach of Walter Pidgeon and Teresa Wright. While by all rights, this should prove distracting, the actors are otherwise so well cast and have such a natural chemistry that such distractions melted away within the film's first reel.
The weak link in the cast is Richard Ney, starring in his first feature film as the eldest son of Kay and Clem Miniver, but his performance noticeably improves as the film progresses. I do not know if the film was shot in sequence and this is a testament to his growth as a film actor over the course of production or if he was just better at portraying the young soldier and earnest suitor of Teresa Wright's luminous Carol Beldon he becomes than the annoying know-it-all returning from college of his earliest scenes.
Video ****The film is presented via a 1080p AVC-encoded black and white transfer "pillarboxed" to its original 4:3 aspect ratio. The previous DVD release of Mrs. Miniver (reviewed for the Home Theater Forum by Herb Kane in May of 2001), exhibited exceptional contrast and a pleasing film-like transfer, and this high-definition rendering certainly still delivers in those departments. Matters are improved both in terms of increased resolution which allows for a more precise representation of the natural film grain of the source element and a noticeable reduction in previously visible minor film artifacts such as speckling. The presentation is free of distracting digital video artifacts and falls just short of perfection due to some slight contrast build-up that causes dark areas of the screen to fall off a bit quickly into total blackness in a few shots.
Audio ***½The film's original English language soundtrack is presented via a DTS-HD MA lossless mono track. While the track rolls off a bit in the high frequency range and is more dynamically compressed than most modern tracks, it is an overall exceptional rendering of a track from its era, with a surprising amount of low-end punch, especially in the scenes depicting the horrific air Raids of the Blitz. Alternate language Dolby Digital mono tracks are provided in French, German, Italian, Spanish (Latin), and Spanish (Castillan).
Extras **½
All of the special features from the 2001 DVD release of Mrs. Miniver are carried over to this Blu-ray release except for a gallery of 33 behind the scenes photos that is MIA. In its place is a Tex Avery cartoon as described below. All special feature are presented in AVC encoded 480i video with 192 kbps Dolby Digital 2.0 audio unless otherwise indicated below.
Greer Garson Academy Award Footage (:55) features Garson receiving the Best Performance by an Actress for 1942 Academy Award from Joan Fontaine and includes a brief excerpt from her famously lengthy acceptance speech.
Blitz Wolf (10:39 including a 45 second title card with a disclaimer and notes on the context of the film's politically incorrect elements) is a vintage Tex Avery cartoon (his first for MGM) in which the story of the Three Little Pigs is adapted into a rousing wild propaganda cartoon that sticks it to the Big Bad "Adolf Wolf".
Mr. Blabbermouth (19:22) is a vintage 1942 propaganda short narrated by John Nesbitt encouraging viewers to refrain from buying into and propagating rumors about Japanese and German military prowess. Somewhat amusing vignettes in which "Mr. Blabbermouth" (an uncredited Ralph Peters) spouts rumors in front of fellow civilians are followed by extended narrated segments that dispel the rumors with counter arguments and statistics. It ends with a stirring speech by Franklin Roosevelt and a plug to buy War Bonds.
For the Common Defense (21:36) is a vintage 1942 short from the "Crime Does Not Pay" series promoting pan-American cooperation via a dramatic recreation of an incident in which an American agent cooperates with Columbia and Chile to thwart a German/Japanese plot to smuggle stolen ammunition from South America. It features the first MGM screen appearance by Van Johnson as the American agent. He is almost unrecognizable with his hair dyed black, which had been done for a role in the Warner Bros. film Murder in the Big House earlier that year. Prolific character actor Douglas Fowley is entertaining as a fast-talking American fugitive blackmailed into muling counterfeit cash and ammunition for the Axis agents.
Theatrical Trailer (2:39) kicks off by announcing the film as "..the most important attraction in a decade of motion picture history", and then really starts to pile on the hyperbole.

As Labor Day weekend draws near, for Americans on the East Coast so does a Category 4 hurricane by the folksy name of Earl. Good people of North Carolina, you're on notice. —KA
Residents and tourists anywhere from North Carolina up to New England should keep track of this storm," Robbie Berg, a hurricane specialist at the center, said Tuesday in a telephone interview from Miami. "It's too early to tell what kind of impact will occur."
The chances are 10 percent that the U.S. will experience hurricane-force winds of at least 74 mph in the next three days, according to Tropical Storm Risk, a London-based venture that grew out of a U.K. government-supported tsunami initiative.
TSR puts the possibility of tropical storm-force winds of at least 39 mph at 60 percent in the same time period. Both Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina, and Chatham, Mass., have a 10 percent risk of hurricane-force winds.

Honey, your post is extremely difficult to read without paragraph breaks. But I think I got the gist of things.
To be honest, your accusations would be very hard to come back from. And not just your accusations...but also the vitriol of your delivery. It would leave any person questioning a relationship. The fact of the matter is that you trusted the word of his best friend before you trusted him.
At this stage, he doesn't know if he wants a future with you. Part of him would be remembering the good times and part of him is very angry and hurt at having been mistreated by you so badly.
I guess it all comes back to whether or not your behaviour was a dealbreaker for him. I realise you've apologised and said you love him, but there are some things an apology won't undo.

He's probably just confused right now. As another song goes "breaking up is hard to do." I'm sure he still has feelings for you, because you don't just turn something like that on and off with a switch. But he's trying to decide if he wants to continue a relationship with you, after what has happened.
Unfortunately, in accusing him of betraying your trust you have betrayed HIS trust in you. That's a very difficult thing to accept in someone you have loved, and a very difficult thing to forgive. All you can really do is let him know you're sorry for what happened, you do love him, and you're willing to work on the relationship to earn back his trust and forgiveness. And then you need to give him space and time to come to his own decision about the future of the relationship.
Best of luck.

Well, someone was eventually going to say what lots of people were thinking.
"If I'm gonna be the future bloody queen of England I'm going to wear that dress once," she says.
The Obamas were also on the list, as a single unit.
Old clothes and a new hat resembling a Pringle potato chip.
But! It's a style Kate managed to "elevate."
And she wore a long Cavalli dress.
Fun bonding time with the grandmother-in-law.
Kate's royal wedding dress goes on display at the palace today, and everyone continues to care deeply about it.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Ground Zero Museum Workshop
Ground Zero Museum Workshop founder and official photographer at Ground Zero for the Unifomed Firefighters Association, Gary Marlon Suson aims to lend education and comfort to locals and visitors with a photo exhibition documenting nearly nine months of the Ground Zero Recovery. As various artifacts culled from the site's rubble complement an image collection lauded by the New York Times, the space stands as a permanent museum detailing the buildings, victims, heroes, and aftermath of the tragedy.

What the Hell Is Happening at Apple?
On Wednesday, TheStreet's Eric Jackson questioned why Forstall sold a ton of Apple stock earlier this year and, seemingly, left potentially hundreds of millions more in restricted stock options on the table.
Jackson, a big AAPL bull, wondered why Forstall sold and, presumably, didn't try to make things work at Apple: Maybe the stock sales did signal Forstall was really upset with how things were going under Tim Cook's leadership in the post-Jobs era.
Look, I don't necessarily agree that this is what went down (and I'm not sure Jackson does either), but it's a question worth asking. If Forstall -- a Steve Jobs 'A' player through and through -- wasn't happy with Cook's direction, is there really something amiss?
It's a bizarro world these days. Heck, TheStreet's Doug Kass made money long AAPL Tuesday. (That's the sign of great trader not allowing long-term conviction to cloud near-term judgment).As an investor, you can't discount or, worse, discard information that doesn't fit with what you want to hear. There's relative chaos at Apple. While Tim Cook's recent housecleaning might have straightened things out, there's an equally-as-strong possibility it didn't. What Forstall says and does next, if anything, might help shed light on the situation. At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned in this article.

I have an image that just won't leave my head, though this particular memory is hardly in the above category.
Years back, Kenny Rogers and then-pitching coach Tom House sat on a secluded bench under an outfield eave at Arlington Stadium. House, the amateur psychologist, was always counseling somebody. And Rogers usually needed it--on the field, anyway.
"Now Kenny," said the coach like the young uncle who has been asked to talk some sense into his teenage nephew, "there is the game before the game [long pause], the game during the game [longer pause], and the game after the game."
Rogers, who struggled so much, looked down at his fingers and counted off each phrase, as he slowly repeated the mantra, as if it were a cheat sheet for a multiple-choice biology test.
Back then, everything was a test for Kenny Rogers. I walked away, half grinning at the sight, but knowing that whatever brain cells were taking notes inside that pitcher's head, they had better do it in shorthand.
Kenny Rogers had a lot to learn to control--the pressure he put on himself, the fear of failure, the occasional flash of temper--before he'd ever control the American League.
Now, Rogers owns his head. Hell, he owns the American League. Last Thursday night, his streak of consecutive shutout innings ended at 39 1/3. Of course there was the perfect game last year. He has been named AL pitcher of the month for May.
With Kevin Brown gone, Rogers is the ace of the Rangers' pitching staff, and unlike Brown, Rogers is acting like one.
When his scoreless streak ended Thursday, the crowd stood and roared for almost a minute.
"I didn't know what to do," says Rogers. "To acknowledge it would have seemed disrespectful to the other team, but finally, I felt like I needed to."
And he--or at least the man rumored to be Kenny Rogers--tipped his cap.
No one, not even Kenny Rogers, knows for sure why he has changed so much--in both attitude and statitude. It's all speculation--from a better breaking ball to better company in the clubhouse.
The latter is a particularly popular theory, though not one Rogers himself espouses.
Rogers was part of the little pack on the far side of the Rangers clubhouse. He was flanked by Rafael Palmeiro and Kevin Brown and seen as a follower.
A friend of Brown's, he was forever lending an ear for Brown's bitching.
"I think it would do a disservice to Kenny to say just because Kevin Brown is gone, he is a better pitcher," says former Rangers general manager Tom Grieve. "Maybe it could be just one small factor, but not the reason. A lot of it just has to do with maturing and experience."
General manager Doug Melvin doesn't detail his thoughts about Rogers prior to Melvin's joining the organization. Though it is clear that reports from "the other side" (when Melvin was in Baltimore) were not overly positive.
"Without naming names from the past," says Melvin," I think he is surrounded by the right people now."
Kenny Rogers has learned how to behave. And he has learned how to pitch. Linking these changes to previous members of this team is more than fair, argues more than one Rangers official.
"Kevin wanted the money and wanted to be the ace, but he couldn't stand the pressure and didn't pitch like the ace," says a Rangers insider. "Kenny enjoys this role. He longs for this role and is adjusting to it well."
Rogers never pitched until he was paid to in the minors. He didn't even play ball until his senior year in high school, and that was in the outfield. He batted .375 and defense was his forte. In the June free-agent draft of '82, the Rangers finally drafted the kid because he had a strong arm.
In 1992, the Rangers were sending him out in relief so much that anyone else in the American League would have been wasted. Hell, anything outside of an octopus would have run out of arm. But Rogers just kept going back, setting longevity records with a chain of inning after inning pitched in relief.
In the middle of that, I asked Rogers what he thought of a variation on the every-guy-has-a-finite-number-of-pitches theory: Rogers was such a horse because he had been picking strawberries on his folks' farm in Florida instead of ruining his arm with the rest of the teenagers.
"You know," Rogers said that night, "I never thought about it, but that might have a lot to do with it."
But what could have to do with Rogers becoming one of the best pitchers in baseball?
Kenny says the change in him--and believe me, he is different--is due a lot to just being happy, in his work, his city, his personal life.
"And I've learned how to pitch," he says. "As a reliever, I was just going out there throwing out everything trying to get guys out.
"I am finally learning to pitch instead of just throwing."
Just throwing 'em up. No one then thought Kenny had the wherewithal to start a ball game, to pitch long innings. The stuff just wouldn't hold out.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Keeping EWU student athletes champions in school is a team effort
December 6, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 33
The trophy that commands the most headlines for Eastern Washington university is the one the football team won in early 2011 in Frisco, Texas where the Eagles were crowned the NcAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision national champions.
But to most of those inside the athletics department at EWU, the 2010 Big Sky Conference's President's Trophy – the award that recognizes the academic accomplishments of all teams at the school – is one that really honors their overall mission.
If there's one term that reverberates throughout the people who populate the many offices across Washington Street on the Eastern campus it's "student athlete." The emphasis being on the student part of the title.
Eastern dedicates a lot of time and effort to making sure Eagle athletes shatter the age-old stereotype of being the dumb-jock. And it has paid off with that coveted Big Sky award singling out the accomplishments of teams during the 2009-10 academic and athletic season.
Across the board, all Eastern teams maintain at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point-average and graduate over 50 percent of their athletes. That's a pretty good stat these days in the world of college athletics.
And like the teams and teamwork that goes into winning national championships on the field, it takes a similar concerted effort to keep busy student-athletes on track towards graduation in a reasonable period of time.
Part of that team consists of newly-hired – this past summer that is – Jim Fitzgerald as the academic coordinator and life skills adviser. He is aided by Tamara Hageage in keeping athletes healthy in the classroom so that they can compete on the court, field or track.
Dr. Donald Ross is the other part of the team and is the school's NCAA compliance officer, among other hats he wears.
"The compliance and academics are so interrelated," Ross said. "Making sure that the student athletes are eligible and taking the right courses that are counting towards a degree and making progress towards a degree."
You really don't have one without the other, he said.
Following NCAA sanctions at the university that hit the football program with a postseason ban in February 2009, Eastern doubled its efforts on compliance with the complex nature of the NCAA rules.
While cumbersome and complex, the rules are well-intended Ross said.
"They're changing a lot of things right now," he added. "They're reworking the rule book and trying to get rid of some of the rules."
Ross displayed a rule book that was just short of 300 pages and said "Some people want us to get it down to 25 pages."
That might include ridding the rules of things like one of Ross's "favorites," he said with a big smirking smile.
"My favorite rule is you can provide bagels, fruit and nuts but you can't provide peanut butter or jam," Ross said.
To get around the rule some schools have a peanut butter machine that takes peanuts and reconstitute them as peanut butter. "And that's fine because you gave them nuts," Ross said. "You can give them fruit but you can't give them jam."
Or, ironically, chocolate milk as a drink offered to athletes after a workout.
Muscle milk, a protein-enhanced, lactose-free beverage, is a supplement that is OK; chocolate milk is not. "These are the things we've just got to get over," Ross said of the complex web of rules that bog down the system and can innocently get athletes and schools is varying degrees of trouble.
But it's in the classroom where there is true danger of falling below the line of acceptance. And that revolves around three initials – APR – or what is known across athletic academia as Academic Progress Rate.
APR is a one-year snapshot of a student athlete and is based on a formula of retention and eligibility. The NCAA recently honored nearly 1,000 institutions across the nation with APRs ranging from 978 to the perfect score of 1,000.
"A score of 920 used to be the benchmark but that is now 930," Ross said. "(A score of) 930 I think correlates to 33 percent of your kids graduate; 940's like 50 percent."
While most recent APRs for the last academic year have yet to be released, a check with the NCAA showed major sports at Eastern to be generally above that benchmark number.
Volleyball has the highest APR for the 2010-11 season with a 985. Women's basketball is at 977, football has a 945 and basketball 928. Football has improved from a 926 in 2008-09 and men's basketball is well up after scoring an 884 APR for the 2004-05 season.
Everyone chases the perfect 1,000 earned by EWU's cross country and women's golf teams, the 991 recorded by women's tennis or 987 earned by women's cross country.
"Cross country's been at 1,000 since they started doing this," Ross said. "I know women's golf has been at 1,000 for a few years."
Fitzgerald is a vital cog in the student-athlete wheel at Eastern.
"My focus is to get these incoming kids, transfers, into the right classes, " he said. "They generally enroll in 12-credit blocks per quarter, especially their first two years it's making sure general education requirements are met."
Fitzgerald, the brother of former Cheney High basketball coach Ryan and nephew of former Gonzaga University coach Dan, also works with teams and a specific coach to make sure there are not any issues. "Hopefully we meet every couple of weeks to say, hey, how we doing."
There is no special treatment given student-athletes. Similar academic help is provided to all students at Eastern, Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald's duty is to maintain an open door and remain accessible to student-athletes who need help. "My job is to make sure there are no surprises when grades get posted," he said.
Fitzgerald attends games and practices and also teaches a life skills class, primarily for freshmen and transfers in the fall and spring
"The life skills class is how do you present yourself, how do you study, how do you take notes," Fitzgerald explained. "We will bring in guest speakers, former Eagle athletes who say this is what got me through."
There are 320 student–athletes at EWU. "And there's one of me," Fitzgerald said. "I'll take care of you but I'm not going to spoon-feed you."

My bf has been awesome since day 1. From my first official prenatal checkup, he has been coming along. He even had me pick up a book our Dr recommended, "the expectant father" and hes actually been reading it too! He makes sure I eat healthy and he is always cooking me wonderful meals since he is a chef. He makes sure I am comfortable on days where the aches and pains get to me, by getting me heating pads, extra pillows etc. I'll admit, I didn't expect for him to get as involved as he is. Especially the whole reading thing, because he literally does not read ever!
