Washington (CNN) -- Two senior Democratic Party officials tell CNN that President Barack Obama will ask Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida to stay on for a second term as chair of the Democratic National Committee.
The DNC meets in Washington, D.C. on January 22, the day after the president's second inauguration, for its annual winter meetings. The top thing on the agenda at the gathering is to vote on the chair and other party officials for the next two years.
Wasserman Schultz replaced former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as DNC chair in the spring of 2011, after Kaine stepped down to run for the U.S. Senate.

While most of the world's focus has been on the possibility that Taylor Swift was dating The Ahnuld's single son, and Kennedy family member, Patrick Schwarzenegger, it appears there may possibly have been a different Kennedy in Taylor's sight....Conor Kennedy.
The pair have been spotted all over Massachusetts at pizza shops and on the beach and at house parties and various other places.
Conor just turned 18 last week and is the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, brother of former president John F. Kennedy.
Taylor and Conor are more than likely just friends, but spies have claimed to have seen the couple kissing and holding hands and the various other canoodling activities that celebrity spies usually claim to witness.
Of course, there are pictures of Conor with his arm around Taylor so maybe, just maybe, Conor really is Taylor's future song inspiration.
Photo of Taylor leaving a pizza shop with Conor here and a picture of Conor with his arm around Taylor here (just click the arrows, there's a whole slew of pics) and a picture of Taylor and Conor holding hands here.
She looks happy.

As the World Series reaches
its zenith this week–how about the 47% increase in TV ratings from last year's
Fall Classic?–FOX broadcasters Joe Buck and
McCarver have made references about the
Phillies trying to become the first National League team to win back-to-back
World Series since Cincinnati's Big Red Machine in 1975-76. No question, if the Phillies were to rally
from a three games to one deficit and win the 2009 Series, it will be an impressive
Of course, here in the Bay
Area, we have been blessed with several sports champions over the years. The San
Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders and Golden State
Warriors have all won one or more titles during their local histories. Yet none
of them can compare to the three-year run the Oakland A's had in 1972-74. Some 20 years before the NBA's Chicago Bulls coined the phrase, "Three-Peat," the
"Swingin' A's" reeled off three straight World Series championships–still the
only professional team in Bay Area history to accomplish such a rare
streak. Future Hall of Famers Catfish Hunter,
Reggie Jackson and Rollie Fingers, along with American League MVP Vida Blue and perennial All-Stars Joe Rudi, Sal Bando and Campy Campaneris, comprised one of the most talented rosters in baseball history. We should not forget their greatness, as those
pitching-rich clubs may very well provide the blueprint for future A's
So, when you visit the Coliseum
next season and see those championship banners from 1972, 1973 and 1974, think
about this: those A's teams are part of
a very select group of professional sports teams to win three straight
titles. They join the Boston Celtics,
New York Yankees, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Green
Bay Packers, Montreal Canadians and Toronto Maple Leafs as one of eight franchises in American pro sports history to smell such rarefied air.
When Craig Breslow (below) was claimed off waivers from Minnesota
at midseason and joined us during a Tampa
Bay series in St. Petersburg, I realized he would be
stereotyped as "the bookworm." How could
you not be when you majored in
molecular biophysics and biochemistry at Yale? I wasn't sure how self conscious he might be
about his brainiac image–The Wall Street Journal called him the
"smartest player in the major leagues."–but thought it best to use an obvious
strategy as an ice-breaker. We discussed
the merits of great pizza! Let me
While Craig and I were in the
security line to board our team bus after the game, I simply asked him, "Hey
Craig, how about a Pepe's garlic clam pizza right about how?" His face broke into a wide grin. "How do you
know about Pepe's?," he asked. I
explained to him that I had lived in Greenwich, Conn. for two years and had heard about Wooster Street,
this Italian two-block section of New Haven, where the pizza was better than the famed pies of New York
City. Pepe's, no question, was the Godfather
institution of all pizza joints on Wooster.
As we got to know each other during the
remaining months of the 2009 season, I found Craig to be a very thoughtful yet
unassuming person, someone who did not wear his Ivy League degree on his
sleeve. However, he clearly is a "doer,"
both on and off the field.
So it should
be no surprise that he is hosting the 2nd Annual First Pitch Celebrity Gala this Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Omni Hotel in New Haven, Conn. It's a fundraiser for his own "Strike 3
Foundation," which Craig founded to heighten awareness and raise money for
childhood cancer research. This
foundation is very personal for
At age 14, he and his family were
informed that his sister had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. While he was devastated by the news, he also
became extremely curious on what causes cancer and how do we cure it. Fifteen years later, his sister is officially
a survivor and living a normal, healthy life.
But it was that sobering diagnosis in 1994 that sparked Craig's interest
and led to pursue a future career in medicine.
Now, Craig is using his fame as a major leaguer to help any way he can. Some
of Breslow's buddies are among the luminaries scheduled to appear at Saturday's
event, including A's teammates Andrew Bailey,
Garciaparra, Jack Cust, Rajai Davis and Vin Mazzaro, plus Minnesota Twins pitcher Kevin Slowey and University of Connecticut women's basketball
coach Shea
For more information, go to his website, www.strike3foundation.org….
Before I close, let me share this funny tidbit from my early baseball
days. With apologies to Breslow, Brett
Anderson, Dallas Braden, Jerry Blevins, et al, it's a quick story about a
lefthander. It was during my college
days at Pepperdine and involved my buddy, Harry Miller,
who wrote for the campus newspaper covering the Waves' baseball team.
There was a big lefthanded pitcher on the
team. As a junior, his impressive
talents were on display at USC's Dedeaux Field when he threw a shutout to
eliminate the Trojans from the NCAA playoffs.
Scouts took notice and were out in force the following season. He was a large kid with nasty stuff, but he
had a reputation of being a little on the emotional side. Psycho may be a little strong, so we'll leave
it at emotional. Anyway, he was
projected as a high draft pick heading into his senior year. Unfortunately, he
went into the tank early in the season, started pressing and he had something
like an 8.23 ERA late in the season. You
could just see that big, fat bonus shrinking to pennies on the dollar. Then my buddy, Harry, notepad in hand, comes
up to Tony and asks the $64,000 question:
"Tony, you must be disappointed with the way things have gone this
year. Do you think it's mental or
physical?" Tony shook his head, paused for
a moment, and then replied: "You know, I
just don't know. I think that's what confuses me."

Fast-track Worship Install, Part 2
Jan 17, 2013 10:02 AM, With Bennett Liles

The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd brought in JC Productions in Reno, Nev., to set up a complete sound and video system for its new 500-seat sanctuary. Scott Schmidt and Todd Rold are back to wrap up their talk about the project, coming up next on the SVC Podcast.
SVC: Scott Schmidt and Todd Rold from JC Productions in Reno and the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. We were talking in part one about installing the PreSonus mixer, running the lines, and setting up the musicians to mix their own monitoring on the live music part of the services. Now the church tech people wanted remote mixing capability. How did you set that up?
Todd Rold: Yeah, they absolutely did. That was part of the features that they requested and because we went with the PreSonus, it has the capability that you can mix with an iPad and … comes with all of the software that you need to set that up. We added a Mac Mini through FireWire that the console talks to and loaded all the software. [Now] they're capable of walking around with an iPad and making adjustments. [Timestamps: 1:36]
I guess that would help when you don't have major control over the acoustic environment and you can walk around the room and hear it from whatever spot you need to—a big advantage.
Rold: Yeah, they were real happy with that capability. The FOH sound booth is actually raised up a couple steps from where everybody else is, so it's nice for them to be able to go down and walk the room and be at the level with everybody else and listen to what's going on. [Timestamp: 1:59]
Depending on the design of the place, it can really sound different between when you have an empty room, like when you're just doing rehearsals and when the place is full of people during the actual service. Is there a big difference between the sound of an empty house and a full house in that church?
Rold: In this one, no, actually. It's actually a really nice room and considering that they didn't want to do anything about the acoustics, that they wanted to keep it as open as possible. The room has a nice light natural reverb to it that really suits well for vocals, for like a cappellas. So for the singing that they do it works out really well and there isn't a huge adjustment. The only big adjustment for anybody running sound is there is, is once it fills up with people you turn the system up a little more than you would when it was empty, but the room essentially sounds the same. It actually came out really nice. [Timestamp: 2:46]
A lot of human bodies in there soaking up the sound.
Did they have any particular concerns over, say, the architecture or the appearance of the gear when you started talking to them about this?
Rold: I don't think there's any parallel wall, so that helped us and then one of the walls the architect actually pitched it at about five degrees and then the ceiling is vaulted as well, so he did a really good job at taking away as many parallel walls as possible. [Timestamp: 3:10]
OK and they record the services, so how does the recording system work and how do they use the recordings?
Rold: From the PreSonus; it comes with software. The Presonus is tied with a Mac Mini so that we have the capture software in there and through the FireWire they can multi-track everything that they're doing through every service, which was very easy actually. I've dealt with a lot of platforms and the set up of this took almost no time and was really easy to teach their people how to use it. I mean you essentially, in the software, hit record and it goes. [Timestamp: 3:39]
What do they do with the recordings? Do they put those on CD or something for the members who couldn't make it to the service that week?
Scott Schmidt: Yeah, it's available. I'm not sure if they have it on the website, but it's available if people wanted to have a CD. [Timestamp: 3:51]
Yeah a lot of the churches that have the traditional and contemporary services may have some of the older members who can't always get to the church and younger members who just may want to have a recording of the band to listen to.
Rold: Yeah, well, the bonus of the way that this is set up is that it's really easy for their engineer to mix the tracks back through the console via the FireWire to two track, and he can actually edit and grab out anything that he wants very quickly and burn it to disc or do whatever he needs to do. [Timestamp: 4:20]
That's a great advantage.
Rold: It was really handy.

I'm convinced that one of the greatest challenges we face is finding balance in the Christian life. Think of a man walking on the high wire. There's never a point at which he says, "Finally, I have balance!" and then just strolls across effortlessly. Balancing life's tightrope proves no different.
It is a continual effort with constant adjustment.
"All we need," we keep telling ourselves, "is just a little more time."
Have you ever noticed that somehow Jesus balanced it all? The demands of His work and ministry left Him exhausted at times, of course—yet somehow He found time to get it all done.
Jesus perfectly balanced the demands of life—with the same 24 hours we have.
Here's how.

The servicemen of Pearl Harbor's naval base were taking some much-needed R&R between early-morning repairs inside Hangar 37 when suddenly they heard a buzzing overhead. With the humming of their own planes and battleships periodically filling the air, this rapidly approaching sound wasn't foreign to their ears, but this instance proved to be drastically different. Thunderous explosions soon overtook Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona struggled to stay afloat as the Imperial Japanese Navy delivered a surprise military strike, which resulted in one of the most devastating attacks on American soil. With a mission to preserve the history of this tragic event, Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor opened that very same hangar to the public, hundreds of feet from where ships burned and men courageously fought more than 70 years ago.
Hangar 37's 42,000-square-foot space currently houses many of the museum's artifacts, which include a World War II?era B-25B bomber, Japanese Zero, and naval planes such as the SBD Dauntless. Also open to the public, Hangar 79 displays the actual bullet holes that pierced its windows during the attack, while an authentic WWII maintenance shop contains an exhibit that explains how planes ran on Lucky Strike cigarette materials. Visitors can experience the museum's ever-evolving collection of exhibits??which has included segments dedicated to the Korean War's MiG Alley and the Flying Tigers??through guided tours in both hangars and submerse themselves in the virtual world of the museum's combat flight simulator.
Owners Brian Glassel and Tim Nicholson eventually teamed up to bring Glass Nickel Pizza Co. to fruition in 1997 after spending their teenage years working around the nostalgic aromas of baking pizzas in Wisconsin eateries. They met while working in the same pizzeria and shared a passion for gourmet pies, so they spent a year planning and dreaming. Then they gathered a small but dedicated team to flip the saucy dough and accommodate patrons with first-class customer service, including the provision of tall glasses brimming with cold beer. Their dedication to this modus operandi helped the restaurant to bloom into a statewide fixture with several locations throughout Wisconsin.
While keeping pizza the star of the menu, Brian and Tim augmented it by adding battered-fish baskets, meaty lasagnas, stacked sandwiches, and crispy chicken. Committed to quality, the duo uses house-made sauce and dough, as well as Boar's Head deli meats. With an equal commitment to their community, they help to support various nonprofit organizations and keep all their restaurants green through the use of ovens that shut off when not in use, energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, and cars that run on used vegetable oil and time-travel only when absolutely necessary.
Natural light spills through a large window in Inspire Yoga's practice space to warm and illuminate students as they balance on bare feet and gracefully sweep poses. These students work their way through the studio's four signature classes, which offer challenges for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. Beginners often start with Spark, mastering the foundations of vinyasa flow with poses that can even challenge those already familiar with yoga. Renew's slow-flow hatha postures also lay the groundwork for further practice, letting students stretch away tension and boost flexibility.
Inspire Yoga's schedule also includes Empower and Inspire, two classes that showcase the movement-based vinyasa tradition. Empower builds upon the foundations learned in lower-level classes, equipping students to transition between intermediate and advanced poses. The studio's most advanced class, Inspire challenges even seasoned students, integrating breathing exercises, physically challenging poses, and mind-centering meditations into a single practice.
In addition to hosting classes seven days a week, Inspire Yoga also brings workshops and advanced training events to the community, hosts private small-group sessions, and offers life coaching.
Harry Houdini was legendary for his daring escapes, but he's still never escaped the public's imagination. To wit: AKA Houdini, whose artifacts offer a hands-on glimpse into some of his most infamous tricks. Along with the Appleton-raised illusionist, The History Museum at the Castle's award-winning exhibits focus on other notable Fox Valley natives, including Senator Joseph McCarthy. Dating back to the 1840s, the museum's collection of Fox Valley artifacts includes 35,000 photographs and 20,000 pieces, such as parts of a vintage gas station. At an exhibit tracing the origins of the area's most famous foods, such as frozen custard and fish fries, visitors can even spear sturgeons inside a life-size virtual ice shanty.
These pieces of Fox Valley history are housed inside a Masonic temple listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1923, the temple exemplifies the medieval, Norman Revival style with rough-hewn stone, vaulted ceilings, and fire-breathing dragons guarding its entrance. Designed as a community center, the temple continues to serve that function by hosting the museum's year-round events, including papermaking programs and magic workshops.
While working at a national pizza chain, Scott Gittrich looked at the palette of ingredients around him and wondered why pizza seemed so limited. Then in 1991 he got his chance to experiment. He opened the first Toppers Pizza, combining a fun, party-fueling atmosphere with edible concoctions that topped housemade dough with unexpected delicacies such as mac 'n' cheese and a deconstructed gyro. More than 19 house specialty pies make use of freshly kneaded dough, transporting classic recipes and unheard-of combinations to get people excited about pizza again. And the people respond, enjoying the treats as much as Scott himself, who once went 60 days eating at least one meal a day from Toppers.
Today Toppers Pizza stretches across the country, peppering the Midwest and reaching to the East Coast. Along with pizzas, the cooks oven-toast their grinder sandwiches, which are built on artisanal french bread and stuffed with ingredients such as chipotle chicken and italian sausage. Signature Topperstix—breadsticks adorned with cheese, garlic butter, and toppings such as bacon and pepperoni—accompany pizza orders, silencing rumbling bellies until the early morning.
The stone accent wall and cherry-wood counter in Agea Spa's lobby form a barrier against the stresses of the outside world. Upon entering, clients are encouraged to cast aside their cell phones and laptops before enjoying a relaxing shower in one of the private changing areas. This is only the first step, though—within the spa proper, a team of aestheticians and stylists stands ready to pamper visitors from crown to ankle.
The aestheticians' facial treatments incorporate organically sourced skincare ingredients—including anti-inflammatory plant extracts, natural fruit acids, and aromatic steam—formulated to hydrate the skin and imbue it with a healthy glow. The massage therapists target knotted muscles with Swedish, deep-tissue, or hot-stone modalities, and they can also use reflexology or reiki techniques to promote holistic balance. The stylists pamper clients' tresses, designing flattering new looks with a combination of well-placed snips, coloring products, and texturizing treatments.

Others strive for fluency.
Science Olympiad members at Cleveland High School actively engage in science, math, technology and engineering studies, known as the STEM subjects. The team of 18 placed at regionals and will compete at the state level on April 6.
"We have some experienced seniors who have taken a lot of science classes at Cleveland High so they are very well prepared," said Jeannie Cuervo, Olympiad coach. "On the other end of the spectrum, we have some really enthusiastic freshmen."
Fellow Olympiad coach Gabriela Talent said the combination of seniors and freshmen has strengthened the team.
"The older members took the freshmen under their wings this year," Talent said. "They complement each other and work well together."
Olympiad competitions usually take place on a Saturday and last from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Only 15 members are allowed in the competition. Each of the 15 prepare for three or four of the 23 events held throughout the day. To advance from regionals, all 15 members had to earn either first, second or third place.
A coach's manual details knowledge needed for each of the 23 events. Olympiad team meetings are held every Wednesday following CHS dismissal. Students work hard to advance their devices and knowledge for their events.
Cuervo said teamwork is emphasized.
"It is important for them to prepare for these events together as they go into each event with a partner," Cuervo said. "Part of it is collaboration and communication and knowing how to work together."
Continued Cuervo, "It is important for them to practice together so they know what the other's strength and weaknesses are, and how to communicate effectively with each other."
Extra lessons are held throughout the week for specialized instruction.
Naveli Shah, CHS junior, said an after-school chemistry lab has effectively placed her ahead of her peers.
"These students learn so much because they are not just memorizing things," Cuervo said. "They are learning skills. They are learning how to identify things. They are also learning how to do labs and apply their knowledge."
According to Shah, members are having fun as they learn.
"It is so much fun," said Shah who learned about the club from her cousin. "He told me you learn a lot of things even in one day."
Shah said part of her interest is hanging out with friends with similar intellectual interests.
Oliver Conn, CHS freshman, said the club is just really fun.
"I've learned a lot about engineering. I feel like it will prepare me for later lessons," Conn said.
Conn and his teammates developed a gravity car which placed first at regionals. His team had to build a car and a ramp with a release mechanism to drop the car. A brake was also designed to stop the car on the spot.
Coach Mara Grisham said she helps out to see the kids' faces.
"It is just nice to see the kids' eyes light up when they accomplish something they did not believe they could. They see all of these rules and specifications and they ask, 'How are we going to do this?'" Grisham said. "When they get to the competition and it actually performs well, it is just great to see their faces."
Some clubs at Cleveland High are designed to meet graduation requirements. Cuervo said the Olympiad team is solely for those who enjoy the sciences.
"They are here purely for the love of science. They do not get any credit," Cuervo said. "Although, I'm sure it looks good on their transcripts if they choose to pursue a STEM career. They just come because they get excited and they want to do science."
Talent said she coaches for the love of the people the Olympiad attracts.
"Honestly, I am a nerd and I really like nerds and I want to show them it is OK to be a nerd," Talent said. "There is nothing weird about it. We are wired differently, and that is fine."
She also said parents of Olympiad members have been very supportive.
"They attend the matches and brought snacks for the kids. All the students had to do was compete, eat and go to the next event," Talent said.
All three coaches gave an open invitations to STEM professionals who would like to operate as an adviser or coach.
"If there is a retired engineer out there who wants to come out and help then they are more than welcome," Cuervo said.
Added talent, "If there are any doctors who have some time on their hands, they are welcomed."
Grisham said acting as a coach is her way of promoting the sciences and giving back.
"I think a lot of shools could use more volunteering," Grisham said. "Volunteering is a great way to give back. It is just a matter of finding where they fit."
Cleveland High's Science Olympiad team will be returning to state for a fifth time in April. The team has not made it to this level of competition in several years.
Give them a month.
Between dedicated coaches and invested students, Cleveland High's team just might be making headlines at a newsstand near you.

Let's Talk About NFP!
By Rebecca Teti
Wednesdays: Natural Family Planning
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This weekly thread is a place where you can share your struggles, triumphs, links, resources, concerns, and questions about all things related to Natural Family Planning.
A friend asked me for articles that explain the spiritual or religious dimension of NFP. She is non-Catholic and using it because it's natural and is now intrigued. There's Humanae Vitae itself of course, but do you have popular articles you learned from or that you think are especially well expressed?
Transferring Kathleen's question from yesterday here: Maybe I should wait for NFP day, but in case I don't get back here tomorrow - how much effect can I expect the weather to have on my temperatures? I've been attributing a string of unusually high temperatures to the fact that it's been in in the 90s for the past 2 weeks (and we don't have air conditioning). Is that valid? My temps have dropped the past 2 days, despite the temperature outside remaining high, so I'm wondering if maybe I was wrong about that? Or could my body just be adjusting to the summer heat?
Rebecca, Have you searched the websites of the Couple to Couple League or One More Soul? Both have some great resources on this topic & might have something that appeals to your friend from a natural & spiritual (though not specifically Catholic) approach. Praying that she is open to seeing the beauty of God's design in the human body & for marriage as expressed by the Church through her seeking.
Hi Kathleen, I'd definitely take the heat into account for the rising temps - happened to me a couple of years ago when the heat just got too much.
To follow up on Patricia's suggestions, I was going to offer two specific titles: From One More Soul, a cd "Prove it, God...And He Did!" by Patty Schneier; and from Couple to Couple League--(although others may carry it as well) Janet Smith's "Contraception--Why Not". I think that may be in more than one format, but I'm not positive. Also, at www.catholicmom.com there is a whole section of archived nfp articles by Sara Fox Peterson under women/health/nfp. Many of those also bring in the spiritual or religious dimension as well.
Is there NTF for women who have stopped having their menstral cycle?
Do you mean for a woman who has entered menopause, or for a woman with irregular cycles, but still within the time-frame of normal fertility? Since menopause is associated with the bodily changes that lead to a loss of fertility as we age, I suppose NFP at this point would be more for keeping track of bodily changes as an eye to health, versus trying to conceive or space the birth of children.
For women who have entered menopause. Can one get pregnant then?
Rebecca, I find the posts on Iusenfp.com to be very comprehensive regardless of religious affiliation.
Danielle M-- I just read the Open Forum craziness from yesterday, and I'm glad you're still posting!
I'm impressed by your paper. It crucial to missive that nowadays it is nay carefree to explore estimable rate piece on the Internet. Only unique pattern accompanying my art of deciding write my essay http://www.smartcustomwriting.net/write-my-essay-perfect for my school wants.
Blessed I am that I am reading this blessed document these days. I really assumed that the very best of the articles stopped arriving. However immediately after looking over this, my belief rises again dampvask af bil aalborg
I was actually going through the nice helpful tips from the blog and I put respect to the writer of this post, enjoying the smart way you write articles in this dampvask af bil Aalborg

"The Lyseni. Torrent spied their sails from Littlesister, and before him the Flints from Widow's Watch. Orange sails, and green, and pink. Salladhor Saan. Where is he?"
–George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
The Great Houses respond to the shifting scales of power by strengthening their fleets in The Pirates of Lys!
Now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore, this third Chapter Pack in the A Song of the Sea Cycle for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game navigates the changing tides with new characters, Warships, and House-specific events that trigger powerful Response actions when you win a challenge "by 4 or more."
Featuring the renowned Smuggler, Salladhor Saan (The Pirates of Lys, 47), along with the Tyroshi Captain, Moreo Tumitis (The Pirates of Lys, 50), the sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) in The Pirates of Lys bolster your fleet with five new characters, five locations, and five events. You'll also find four new plots, and a new agenda to inspire creative deck designs, especially among those players who value an exciting journey, regardless how quickly they reach their destination.
The Long Voyage
Just like everyone knows that a straight line offers the shortest distance between any two points, everyone knows that a deck built to the minimum legal size is bound to give you the best odds of drawing the cards you want…right?
Not necessarily.
A new agenda in The Pirates of Lys encourages players to experiment with some creative longcuts. George R.R. Martin's fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, reminds us, time and time again, of the vulnerability and mortal natures of those lords, ladies, and knights who make themselves too predictable, even as their enemies hover around them.
It's easy to be tempted by the lure of power. In A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, it's possible to throw in your lot with the most powerful House and rush straight to King's Landing and aim for the Iron Throne. Still, such bold, direct plans are easily predicted. No matter how powerful the lord, should he ride in the open plains, the decision may be tantamount to suicide. Open warfare may prove fatal. The cleverer lords and ladies think several steps ahead. Their paths to power may be longer, but they stand a better chance of living to wield the power they pursue.
Similarly, The Long Voyage (The Pirates of Lys, 60) forces players to construct decks much larger than the standard, sixty-card minimum. However, in return, it offers valuable, consistent card draw. With more cards in hand, you have more potential plays each phase and each turn. With more potential plays, you have more opportunity to craft a strategy capable of anticipating your opponent's plays, and you make yourself less predictable to your opponent. In a game with as many twists and turns as A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, the ability to anticipate your opponent's moves and keep yours secret is invaluable. The Long Voyage won't likely prove the best agenda for a "rush" deck, but it's bound to appeal to those players whose talents and tastes run toward secrets, conspiracies, and control.
Meet the Pirates on the High Seas
Haul anchor, and unfurl your sails! The Long Voyage and the enhancement are adding tremendous tactical flexibility to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game as the A Song of the Sea cycle reaches its midpoint with The Pirates of Lys.
Head to your local retailer today, or visit our webstore, to purchase your copy of The Pirates of Lys and mobilize your fleet!

Career path following a CRA |

Beth in Wilmington, North Carolina 79 months ago |
I'm wondering the same thing too. I'm a Masters-level PA looking to transition into the CRA role. I just found this forum today and already am finding it helpful. |
Jay in North Carolina 79 months ago |
SwissHam in Ann Arbor, Michigan said: Hi Jay and Beht, Thanks for the reply Chris. That was very helpful indeed. Is CRA experience required to enter the project management path or is there an entry level aside from being a CRA first? |
SwissHam in Fulton, Ohio 79 months ago |
Hi Jay, Not a problem. Entering project management is very different from company to company and even more different between Pharma vs. CRO. If you are at a CRO, you will most likely have to be a CRA first... this may not necessarily be true all the time, but one of my collegues came to the CRO where I currently work with Pharma experience as a project manager and needed to become a CRA first before she could be a project manager at the CRO. One major reason for this is because CROs need to sell the people they want to put on to the project to sponsor. If you are in a pharma company, it is not always this way, as they have their in-house positions that move up to project managers without that on-site experience. I would personally say your best bet really is to get the CRA experience... It really is a great experience to have and you are able to say you know the inner workings at a site that others may not. It gives you a great base to move forward, and if you get 2+ years (absolute min. 1 year), you will always be able to get another CRA job if for some reason you fall in to hard times. Also, if you move up in a Pharma company as an in-house position, but never have that on-site experience, and are ever let go or want to go elsewhere, you are really limited where you can go as you only have that in house expereince. Since the CRA position combines the in house management with the on-site experience, you really open up all of your options. Hope this helps!
Beth in Wilmington, North Carolina 79 months ago |
Chris, thenks for your very straight-forward answers. I have asked alot of people and usu get a "beat-around-the-bush" reply. I feel I really understand the basis of prior CRA experience and the pathways available. Jay, thanks for your insightful questions. |

Theresa in Winnipeg, Manitoba 78 months ago |
I have a PhD in Animal Nutrition; I am planning to pursue a CRA training; I have almost 7 years experience in pharmaceutical industry QA; as a CRA I am thinking of landing in an in-house CRA position; I don't like traveling everyday every week; Can some one provide me insights on whether this will work for me. What is the salary for an enrry position. |
Rochelle in Hoschton, Georgia 75 months ago |
Jay in North Carolina said: Greetings all. I was wondering what the typical (if there is one) career path is following employment as an entry-level CRA. I realize that there are increasing levels of CRA (I, II, III) but over the span of a 30 year career, what positions would you typically be promoted into? Or does it diverge into many different paths the higher up you go? Would having a PhD (mine is in pharmaceutical sciences along with 5 years of postdoc) be an advantage as you go up the scale? I have enjoyed this forum so thanks to all who are posting. Jay,
Renee in Dahlonega in Dahlonega, Georgia 74 months ago |
Hi, Rochelle I'm in Dahlonega about 35 minutes from you. I work as a Sleep Research Tech/Coordinator Assistance. I just want to let you know that might want to start off in a Coordinator position because they learn everything and they work closely with CRA's. My Coordinator is leaving she just go Married and she is going back to School. I didn't take the position but I'm filling in for her in every aspect of the job. The reason I didn't take the position is because I'm going to School to work on my BS because I two want to move into the CRA field but I have to have my BS in order to do that. I getting the experience I need just by working there and by the time I finish School I will have at least 4yr in the field as well as my BS. If you would like more on my computer please feel free to email me at email@example.com. I hope this will help. |

Manowar2002B in Odenspiel, Germany 58 months ago |
Your best bet is to do some type of certification course. I would say, that if you have a natural science degree, biology, etc., that you should be ok entering some type of clinical research (CRA for ex.) certification course. I am currently doing one in Germany. I am American, but studied here, and feel that starting out as a CRA may be better here in Europe. The Clinical Trial process runs more smoothly here. The FDA can be problematic. But finally, you want to find a certification cours that also involves an internship, which will ultimately get your foot in the door.
good luck |
Robert in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 58 months ago |
Manowar, Unfortunately, in the states, these 'certification courses' are typically scams. Their 'certifications' are NOT recognized by the industry and none can guarantee a job. I've been a CRA for 5 years now and have never met anyone who has successfully found employment as a CRA after they shell out thousands for the often unaccredited courses. Getting a degree from an accredited university is a good idea (you can get student aid from the gov't, tuition reimbursement from your employer and the credits are transferable if you want to change your major), but I would say this would be better for someone who already has a job in research and wants to move up, instead of someone who is just looking for a job. Passionate, The best way to get your start is to take an entry level position. A BS is fine, especially if you emphasize your research experience. Look for CTA positions, data entry, etc. at your local universities, hospitals and research offices. Get a job there, then use tuition reimbursement from your employer to beef up your credentials. Have them pay for your Master's in Clinical Research and get certified through a legitimate professional organization like ACRP. Also, don't be looking in just your area- the economy is coming back, but it's still not great yet. You will often have to make sacrifices. |
Manowar2002B in Wilmington, Delaware 58 months ago |
All of this sounds good. What I really emphasize, if you are going to do a certification course, which in my opinion is enough, make sure the course includes an internship, or trainee program in either a CRO, or a Pharma company. This will at last allow you to get your foot in the door, and gain some exposure. Its not easy to break into this industry, but like I have read several times, just keep trying, and something will come your way, even if its not exactly what you were expecting. You have to start somewhere, and work from there. |
Jason in Pottstown, Pennsylvania 57 months ago |
Passionate in Ocoee, Florida said: Renee, Your idea sounds like a good route, if you have the time. I have a friend (BS Psych) who took the MSU certificate for CRCs online over 10 weeks. She loved it and said her interview was really smooth being able to talk terms and case studies she learned. She works in oncology research in (eastern PA) hospital now and just loves it. Next step is a CRA position and further certification. Yes, and the hospital will even pay tuition this time around. Let us know your success. Here is the MSU link if you like:
Derek in East Orange, New Jersey 56 months ago |
Another organization that has legit credentials if you take a CRA training course with them is DIA. But co-monitoring (going out with a monitor to help out, learn, assist the monitor with their job) beats a certification course if you co-monitor long enough. I'm not saying this because it's my opinion; I say this because it looks MUCH better on your resume. Experience trumps education in pharma research. One thing to consider with becoming a CRA is the commitment to traveling and depending on your personal life (ie, family, marriage, having a pet) you need to think hard whether this will work. It changes your personal life, your availability to others. I considered becoming a CRA but having childen changed my mind. I didn't want to become an invisible father. |
bce360 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 55 months ago |
Hello, I am completing my Ph.D. in molecular biology and genetics with a focus in regenerative neuroscience. I should graduate in about 6 months. I have 3 first author publications, a few 2nd and 3rd author publications, 2 fellowships and am a certified medical writer. I am looking to break into clinical research, specifically as an MSL or project manager. I thought the best way to do this would be to apply for CRA position, however it seems to be difficult to break into without clinical experience. Aside from familiarizing myself with GCP's and FDA regulations, what would be the next step for me to land a CRA job? Also would this be a good start for a MSL or project manager position? And finally when should I begin to apply/how long is the process? Thanks |
bce360 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 55 months ago |
SwissHam in Ann Arbor, Michigan said: Hi Jay and Beht, Chris, I am completing my Ph.D. and have a number of publications, employments in hospitals/medical companies but no clinical experience. What do you think is the best way to proceed breaking into the CRA field? I see internet certifications but I am not familiar with the field enough to know which is legit and which are not. Aside from learning the GCP and FDA guidelines, what is the next step? Thanks |

A PhD is too advanced of a degree for a CRA and your skills and experience don't really line up with what a CRA does. Typically CRAs have clinical experience as a nurse or CRC in order to even be considered for the CRA job. The CRA position is NOT entry-level...it requires a special skill set and lots of experience in clinical research. This clinical knowledge is necessary for a CRA because you need an intimate knowledge of clinical medicine. There are only TWO professional organizations that offer legitimate certification for CRA. They are SoCRA and ACRP. ACRP is the only organization that can give you the title of Certified Clinical Research Associate. ALL others are scams. There are a few universities that can offer you a Master's degree in Clinical Research if you are interested. I think you are really low-balling yourself unless there's something about being a PhD that really appeals to you. There are plenty other options that are better suited for your education and experience (e.g., medical writer, protocol design, data management or consulting). Give them a try first. I think you'll be much happier and more challenged. |

Smith Ultimately I would like to become either a project manager or medical science liaison. All of these prefer a higher degree from those I've spoken with in the field, they have suggested starting as a CRA, hearing these options you've intrigued me. Do you suggest any other jobs... and how do you get involved in data management or consulting? The goal for me is to get involved in the managerial side of clinical research rather than bench work. |
Smith in Uniontown, Ohio 55 months ago |
bce, I would start by using sites like Indeed, Medzilla or Monster. Also research small CROs/biotechs and device companies-they are more likely to give someone a chance than the big names. Because job titles change from company to company- don't lock yourself into a few keyword searches- be as broad as you can. You'll have to look at a bunch of job postings that don't really fit, but you may find your dream job. Also, try searching for jobs that require a Master's degree or PhD just using the keyword 'research.' Once you find the job posting, really read the job description. Match up the skills you have to what they want and adjust your resume and cover letter to show how YOU are the candidate they want. Don't just use a 'one size fits all' generic resume and cover letter. Use your cover letter to analyze why you'd be a good fit, but also address any weakness you see and your plan for overcoming them. Also, you are going to need some management experience- no education or certification will help overcome that goal. You may have to take a management job on the bench research side to gain the necessary experience you'll need to move up. |

I have Ph.D as well with 5 years biotech industry experience. I am looking for career growth as well. A CRC position is much more suited for someone with an RN or BS. A CRC works for the MD and works directly with patients, so patient-care skills are an absolute must. Since you have a PhD, I would say positions along the lines of Medical Writer, high-level data management or maybe something in preclinical development would be better suited for your degree. I would just try searching broad terms in job bases like 'research' or 'clinical research' and see which jobs require a PhD, or at least an MS. Also, reach out to local universities to see what they are offering. University jobs pay a lot less than industry-based jobs, but you need a start somewhere. I think the main limiting factor in your search will be your location. You'll probably have to move to a high-research area (like NJ or the RTP area in NC) in order to get a job at your level in clinical research. |
Sadua in Austin, Texas 50 months ago |
An MS degree is higher than what an entry-level CRA requires. Since you have no experience and are educationally overqualified, it is likely that employers won't feel you are a good 'fit' for the CRA position, even if you do go to a CRA course. I've found that CRA courses are not as beneficial as getting an entry-level job and working your way up (while you are getting paid!) is a better way to get into the industry rather than paying thousands for a course that can't guarantee a job. Also, consider that a CRA must travel 4 nights a week, will you be okay with you away from the home and traveling out of the state 4 nights a week? Often for newlyweds that want to start a family, CRA is not the best fit for personal life. I would try to get in on the R&D side instead of the clinical side. It'll fit much better with your degree and be better for your new marriage. |

Nita in Rochester, New York said: Hello, Nita, The position you have as a lead CRC now is exactly the type of experience you need to foster to get that first CRA job. Stick with your CRC position and network with the CRAs that visit your site to learn about opportunities for entry level CRA jobs. Most companies will want at least 1-2 years as a CRC before they'll consider hiring you as a CRA. Keep up the good work. You don't need any courses or additional certifications with your credentials, you just need a little more CRC experience and you'll be hired in no time! |
Sadua in Austin, Texas 50 months ago |
Nita in Rochester, New York said: Hello, Hi Nita, I would recommend staying at your CRC position for at least another year. Employers really value CRC experience and it will make you a better CRA when the time comes for you to move up to CRA role!

Amita ,JERSEY CITY,NJ in Jersey City, New Jersey said: hi I am just fresher and starting a new field in CRA. I have completed pharmacy in INDIA and did certification in CRA. Can any one help me to where should I step in this field. I am trying like more than 6 month but there is no response. I am getting response from agency which offer me training for 650$. They dont give promise to get a job. Do any one know this type of any agency which help or should I join? Thank u every one for posting. Hi Amita, I do not recommend getting any more training. You already have certification in India, you do not need any more training. I think you are looking at the wrong job. In the USA, you cannot start in clinical research with a CRA position. It is required that you have several years of clinical trial experience before applying for your first CRA job. No education, training or certification will allow you to skip the required years of previous clinical trial work experience. There are many training scams out there, many of them try to take advantage of foreigners looking for jobs. If I ever recommend any courses to foreigners looking for a job, it is English language training because impeccable written communication skills are absolutely necessary. For example, if you used some of the prose errors you made in your post in your cover letter, I would throw out your resume as soon as I encountered one of those language errors. |

Manowar2002B in Odenspiel, Germany said: Your best bet is to do some type of certification course. I would say, that if you have a natural science degree, biology, etc., that you should be ok entering some type of clinical research (CRA for ex.) certification course. I am currently doing one in Germany. I am American, but studied here, and feel that starting out as a CRA may be better here in Europe. The Clinical Trial process runs more smoothly here. The FDA can be problematic. But finally, you want to find a certification cours that also involves an internship, which will ultimately get your foot in the door. I'm in Stuttgart looking to don the same thing. I have a Bachelors in physiology. What is the certification course you have taken? |

I am also CCRA certified and have my Masters degree. Please let me know your thoughts! |
Mather in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 33 months ago |
Hi DC804, Unless you have significant project management experience from a similar industry, a CRO will not hire anyone into a management role without CRA experience. My though is that if you are leading a group of CRAs, it's really best that you know what the job involves. For example: How will you know what makes a good monitoring report without ever having to write one? The CRA role requires significant travel, in just the site assignment process, you have to know if it's even possible for a CRA that lives in Denver to get to Wichita via air for their normal workday. How will you handle your stressed-out overtraveled CRAs when you know nothing about what life is like being on the road four days a week? How will you know which vendors are out there and which ones offer the best service? With your oncology experience, you are very much in demand- I'd try to get that first CRA role and then work on the PM transition. |

Mather 25 months ago |
Hi Nam, I would suggest that you concentrate your initial search on academic medical centers. Epidemiological and Molecular studies are not very common for the CROs, so academia seems like a better fit. I would suggest to begin your career in coordinating before you try to move onto CRA roles. Basic Roles:
CRA (also called a monitor): a job that requires at least two years work experience in research (I.e., as a CRC, CTA, data management or regulatory/documentation specialist). No degree or training program will give you that work experience to become a competitive entry-level CRA applicant, so it's not a career for someone new to the industry. Monitors travel to the places where CRCs and PIs work to monitor their study conduct. PM (also called CTM): a job that requires at least 5 years of CRA experience or other significant project management experience. They manage a group of CRAs, data managers and work with other department heads (biostatisticians, regulatory, and scientific teams). They manage budgets often in excess of $1 million and teams of over 10 employees. I trust that you will do your own research for a more robust description of each role. Just to point out, I noticed several grammatical issues in your post. Flawless English language skills are essential in clinical research because we have so much documentation and communication to do. Science skills/knowledge really come second to communication skills in this industry. |

Carol in Pompano Beach, Florida 24 months ago |
When searching for contract work, is it preferable to go through a consulting agency or deal directly with the company. |
Mather in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 23 months ago |
Hi TJ, 2 years experience is all you need to get a job. No additional training is required - in fact I caution you about it because many people have created scam companies to get money, especially from immigrants. Of course, more work experience is always better. Extra education is not really valued at your stage in your career. Your biggest obstacle will be visa requirements. With unemployment so high in the US, there are many equally qualified applicants who don't need all the extra burdens of visa sponsorship so finding a job tends to be very difficult. It is not an easy life. |

Does anyone think companies will offer a CRA position for a fresher like me in this field? I only have experience in wet labs but nothing so far on the clinical side.Will any recommendations be helpful for the same? 2. Do I need to be a CRA in order to be eligible to get CRA certification from ACRP? 3. If not, then will having a certification enhance my prospects of landing an entry level CRA position? Looking forward to hearing your valuable insights on this topic! |
Mather in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 19 months ago |
1. Anything's possible- but New CRAs typically need clinical research experience working on trials with human subjects in some capacity. The CRA job is not a position for people new to clinical research. 2. Yes, you must have two years of full time work experience to qualify to sit for any certification exam. |
Maripa in Boston, Massachusetts 17 months ago |
Mather, I am a bit lost and would really appreciate your advise. I have Master Degree in Biotechnology and have been employed by the academic research institution in the capacity of PM for the last 5 years. Recently, I have been wanting to make a move to the pharma industry. I have sent hundreds of resumes and applied for PM (or project lead) positions with no luck. I was then told by a recruiter that my experience in the hospital (site) setting would not be enough and I would have to become a CRA first, I would then need to in that position for 2 years and can them move up the ladder. Well, little did I know that I would be getting an offer for a Sr CRA position. I am torn now...do I go for it or do i keep looking for a PM position. I have people whispering in both ears-some say that if I take a step down, it will take me a while to come back up; others say that in order to go up, I have to come down first. what gives? I am so lost I do not know what to do.. And by the way, this job offer was through a connection and I have not gotten any other offers at all...not even an interview. |

Qur`an Passages 'Appear on Baby's Skin'
By Muslim World News
Ali Yakubov's skin, with Qur`an |
Ali Yakubov with his mother and father. |
The parents of nine-month-old Ali Yakubov claim the phenomenon began when the word Allah showed up on their son's chin when he was a few weeks old, British newspapers report.
Other words then started appearing on other parts of his body, including his arms, legs and back, before mysteriously fading away, the parents claim.
"Ali always feels bad when it is happening — he cries and his temperature goes up," his mother was quoted as saying.
"It's impossible to hold him when it's happening, his body is actively moving, so we put him into his cradle … it's so hard to watch him suffering."
The marks usually appear each week on a Monday and then again sometime between Thursday and Friday, she claims. Medics at the family's town in Daghestan province, near Chechnya, are said to be baffled by Ali's condition.
They have reportedly dismissed speculation someone the words are caused by someone writing on his skin. The phenomenon has reportedly made Ali the subject of religious homage by many locals in the troubled region.
One local MP even hailed Ali as "a pure sign of God."
"Allah sent him to Daghestan in order to stop revolts and tension in our republic," Akhmedpasha Amiralaev was quoted as saying.
