As we close out our Japanese Phrase of the Day video series, we say goodbye as we take off for Japan on Saturday, March 14. Read up on how this trip was made possible HERE.
Sayo Nara!
As the Gophers prepare for Japan, here's another two Japanese Phrases of the Day from Daly Santana and Dalianliz Rosado. Minnesota takes off for Japan and the National Training Center Saturday.
Read about the upcoming trip, previously featured on gophersports.com
As the Gophers prepare for their upcoming Japan trip (March 14-22), director of operations Nao Ikeda is attempting to help the team and staff brush up on their Japanese.
Paige Tapp gives her best effort in this recent Phrase of the Day.
Some of you may have wondered how our volunteer coach, Mr. Koichiro Kanno came all the way from Japan to Minnesota.
One of eight coaches in the running to become the 2020 Olympic coach, Kanno was placed at the University of Minnesota by the Japan Volleyball Association. With the international notoriety of head coach Hugh McCutcheon and director of operations, Nao Ikeda, hailing from Japan, the placement was a perfect fit. In his second year helping with the Gopher program, Kanno's skills will also help as the Gophers travel to Japan, March 14-22.
KARE 11 Television recently caught up with Kanno, Ikeda and McCutcheon.
Check out this video feature HERE.
The University of Minnesota volleyball program has announced the Gophers' 2015 spring schedule, which includes three competition dates in the month of April. Times for the scrimmages will be announced closer to the days of competition.
Minnesota opens the spring season against The University of Illinois, Saturday, April 4 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The Gophers take on Kansas State University Saturday, April 18 (Indianola, Iowa), followed by the Gophers hosting a spring tournament, Saturday, April 25 at the Sports Pavilion.
Prior to the start of spring volleyball, Minnesota will also compete in Tokyo, Japan, March 14-22. Staying in the National Training Center, the Gophers will compete against Japan's World University Games team, who are scheduled to compete at the 2015 World University Games in July.

Findings for PPC in Oceanside
Oceanside Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Oceanside was the 114th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of March 2015. Oceanside also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in California, ranking as number 28th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Oceanside Rise in March 2015
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Oceanside keywords increased by 11% in March 2015.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 13% Higher in Oceanside than Carlsbad
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Oceanside are 13% higher than in Carlsbad. The average price of a click in Oceanside is $12.35.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Carlsbad is less than Oceanside, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city of equal population, Fort Lauderdale, and found the average price of a click in Oceanside was 47% lower than in Fort Lauderdale. This suggests that perhaps prices in Oceanside are relatively low.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

New research program gives the EU a larger agenda for developing security technologies
White House officials ask for $154 million in new cybersecurity spending
Homeland Securitys high-tech gamble
In March 2004, the European Union launched a small-scale, three-year program to learn what resources would be needed for its 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development, which will run from 2007 through 2013.With an annual budget of 15 million euros, or about $21 million, the test program funded 39 research projects focused on situational awareness, the security of networked systems, protection against terrorism, crisis management, and the interoperability of control and communications systems.One project, Wireless Interoperability for Security, is exploring standardized frameworks for connecting disparate networks and software-defined radios. A consortium of 23 organizations from 12 countries supports the program.Another project, Crisis Simulation System, is bringing together companies and research organizations to develop a 3-D tool that will help officials prepare for urban crises, such as terrorist attacks and hostage situations.

Routes to include a drug in the clinical practice of Chilean public hospitals.Three routes are available for doctors to prescribe a drug not included in the formulary of Chilean hospitals. (1) Doctors can apply to the PTC for a drug through the pharmacy office. (2) They can request the exceptional purchase of a medicine. (3) If they think the patient can afford the drug, they can ask them to buy the drug privately to be used in the hospital. The number of requests for exceptional purchases grew gradually over time for some drugs; to avoid the paperwork associated with processing too many requests, the pharmacy office asks the PTC for the inclusion of this drug into the formulary (4).

Sunday's column previews my annual film series at the Ontario City Library. This time I'm showing four classics with little in common other than the production designer, Henry Bumstead — and their own greatness, of course. Bumstead was born and raised in Ontario. Hope some of you will consider coming out for the movies, which screen for free each Thursday in April at 6:30 p.m.
Column: Ontario's Yangtze restaurant to close after 54 years
An Ontario landmark is closing on Tuesday. Friday's column has the story. A 2011 blog post features a copy of an original menu.
Above, the stylish exterior sign on Euclid Avenue. Below, two views of the dining room. At bottom, Christie Priest and her daughter Darlene enjoy a last lunch on Wednesday.
Restaurant of the Week: Angela's Italian Kitchen
Angela's Italian Kitchen, 130 E. Bonita Ave. (at San Dimas Ave.), San Dimas
Looking for somewhere to eat in San Dimas, I found Angela's on Yelp and invited a friend to meet me for lunch. It's on the main drag, only a block east of another Italian spot, Pozzetto, where he and I ate last year. Angela's is in the Albertsons center, toward the west end.
It's so small, your first sight as you walk in is the door to the women's room. But after that, they've managed to make the dining room feel cozy, not small. The dark wainscoting and tan paint help, as do the plethora of decorations, which include many Sinatra posters.
Rather than salad, we each ordered Italian wedding soup as our side (pictured below); full of pasta, spinach and meatballs, it was very good. We each got pastas: pasta carbonara ("good consistency and flavor," my friend opined; pictured second) and baked mostaccioli (maybe too much cheese, but good; pictured third); each was $16. I took home half of mine and got a second meal out of it.
Did we like Angela's or Pozzetto better? Based on one meal at each, it's Pozzetto by a nose, and note too that Pozzetto is larger and has a wine bar. But there's nothing wrong with Angela's.
Column: Better title, raise came as city employee investigated
It's edgier than usual, for good or bad, but Wednesday's column is the result of a leaked document about an Ontario employee disciplined for ethical lapses, twice. That didn't stop him from getting a 5.2 percent raise.
Wall of hot dog fame
On a visit to Windy C's Chicago Hot Dogs in Upland last year, owner Freddy Johnson insisted on taking my photo and adding it to his wall of celebrities, many of them Chicago-based. He printed out the photo and had me sign it on the spot.
Faced with a photo of myself that would be framed on a wall for all to see for some time to come, I was put in mind of the "Seinfeld" episode in which a coffee shop waitress asked Jerry to sign a photo of himself and he wrote "Nothing could be finer than eating in your diner"; after Elaine mocked him, he tried to grab the photo back. With trepidation, I wrote "Hot dog! This Illinois boy loves the Wrigley," the name of the menu item I was eating: a dog with sauerkraut and cheese (pictured below).
I returned for lunch recently, the first time since the photo. Eyeballing the inscription, I didn't feel the urge to grab it back or hide my head. But then, Elaine wasn't there to shame me.
(My Restaurant of the Week post from 2011 on Windy C's has particularly entertaining comments, by the way.)
Column: Housewife was a leader in Pomona civic life
Sunday's column is mostly about Beth Page, a volunteer active in Pomona from the 1940s until her recent death at 103. Also: cultural notes, a plug for this blog and an Inland Valley motorcycle chase that made news in LA, NYC and the UK.
About Beth, I knew her a little and interviewed her once, making a tribute item a natural. A photographer searched our archives for photos of her and came up with one, which looked familiar to me. Evidently I took it myself to accompany my December 2006 column on her, but it didn't run with the column, probably for space reasons. It was satisfying to get it into print and online this time. It only took eight years.
Column: Documentary paints picture of Claremont art scene
A documentary, "Design for Modern Living: Millard Sheets and the Claremont Art Community 1935-1975," has its world premiere Sunday in Claremont (where else?). Friday's column gives the details on that and a quick primer on the theme. Also, there are two cultural notes, and an item about an Ontario walking tour Saturday. I'll be there selling my book.
Restaurant of the Week: Wahfles
Wahfles, 1502 Foothill Blvd. (at Wheeler), La Verne; also 5751 N. Pine Ave. (at Butterfield), Chino Hills
My colleague Pete Marshall alerted me to the existence of Wahfles, a dessert and coffee house in La Verne, which opened in February. It turns out the original opened a year ago in Chino Hills. It's a mom-and-pop. One recent morning I ventured to the La Verne location, which is in the Vons center, for breakfast.
Well, it's not really a breakfast spot. (It's no Waffle House.) They have some lunch waffle sandwiches and dessert waffles. Other than a coffee bar, the only thing that works for breakfast is one waffle. I had that: the Breakfast Sammy ($4.45), with ham, Swiss, fried egg, mayo and honey mustard. It was cut in half and could be eaten like a sandwich. And was. Very good.
I liked the vibe of the place: dark wood tables, rugs, some leather chairs, a sofa, a coffee table, magazines to read and locally produced art on the walls. So I returned one afternoon for a dessert waffle, the kind that make up the rest of the menu.
Mine had speculoos (described as "cookie butter" — what's not to like?), bananas, ice cream, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar ($4.45 for a half, $5.95 for a full; I got the half). Delicious. Rather than get a fancy beverage, I cheaped out with a free water from a dispenser on the counter.
Wahfles (there's an umlaut over the "a," incidentally) is a neat addition to the area. Their website has a menu.
'Bar Rescue' now in Upland
A hookah bar at 1276 W. Seventh St. in Upland is the latest site for a makeover by the "Bar Rescue" reality-TV series. The Palace, which has had several names over the years, is undergoing its "stress test" tonight (Wednesday) before closing under its current look. After the show's usual blitz remodel, the new look will be unveiled Saturday.
It was just Sunday that the episode aired about Pomona's Friar Tuck's, now Stein Haus. But that one was taped last December. Nice to have them back in the 909, and so soon.
Column: Traveling mix dog must be part homing pigeon
Today's column is a little different: a pet story. It's about a dog that found her way home from south Ontario to north Claremont. Granted, there was no need, as her owners were coming to pick her up, but still…

Article by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

This article on 'New Dawn', Special Issue Vol. 8, No. 5, pp. 59-66
In 2011, as the entire world watched the Arab Spring in amazement, the US and its allies, predominantly working under the banner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), militarily overran the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. 5,768 more words
EIR August 16, 2013 "If another major terrorist attack like the Sept. 11, 2001 hits on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, or the Sept. 11, 2012 armed assault on the Benghazi, Libya U.S. Mission occurs, you can blame it on George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and the British and Saudi monarchies. The wellspring of all significant international terrorism today is the Anglo-Saudi imperial alliance, expressed most vividly in the 1985 Al-Yamamah arrangements between London and Riyadh that persist to this day.
Al-Yamamah ("The Dove") was ostensibly an arms for-oil barter deal, fist brokered by then-Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Under the cover of the arms-for-crude-oil deal, over the succeeding 28 years, hundreds of billions of dollars in cash have been squirreled into offshore banks accounts in such notorious havens as the British and Dutch Caribbean Islands, Switzerland, and Dubai. Those funds have bankrolled nearly 30 years of global terrorism and coups d'état, dating back to late-1970s British and American sponsorship of the Afghan "mujahideen" which spawned al-Qaeda and every other Muslim Brotherhood offshoot now imposing a reign of terror across the entire Islamic world, and into Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Beginning in the mid-1980s, Al-Yamamah slush funds bankrolled the Afghan "resistance," separatist wars in Africa, and the 1990s conflicts in the Balkans following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. An honest and thorough investigation—yet to be accomplished—would all-but-certainly reveal that Al-Yamamah funds bankrolled the 9/11 terrorists.
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="350" class="zemanta-img"] English: President George W. Bush meets with Saudi Arabian Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan at the Bush Ranch in Crawford, Texas (Photo credit: Wikipedia)[/caption]
The existence of an Anglo-Saudi top-down command over al-Qaeda and every other jihadist front group is well known within some circles at the highest levels of the U.S. government—dating back decades. But the successive Bush (41 and 43) and Obama administrations have presided over a brutal cover-up of this Anglo-Saudi treachery, making them complicit before, during, and after the fact, in terrorist atrocities that have claimed tens of thousands of lives globally, and provided the pretext for every police-state tyranny that has been wrought on the United States over the past dozen years.
The single most glaring case of cover-up of the Anglo-Saudi terror is the refusal of the George W. Bush and Obama administrations to release the 28-page chapter from the fial report of the Joint Congressional Inquiry probing the 9/11 attacks, which catalogued the roles of the Saudi Ministry of Defense and Aviation, Saudi Arabia's General Intelligence Directorate (GID), and then Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin-Sultan, in the financing and protection of teams of 9/11 hijackers (see accompanying documentation).
The History Commons, a little-known but important online archive (www.historycommons.org), has assembled over 20,000 news entries—all from public sources—detailing the Anglo-Saudi links to the 9/11 hijackers and other brutal acts of mass terror. It is an open secret, frequently publicized in the British media, that "Londonistan" is the capital of global jihadist terrorism. Despite the EIR effort in late 2000 to shut down the British Crown's transparent alliance with Saudi Arabia in sponsoring worldwide terrorism and separatist insurgency (Chechnya, Kurdistan, Kashmir, etc.), London remains the protector and recruitment hub for terrorism on every continent to this day."

Well, to paraphrase Reggie Hammond, Eddie Murphy's character in the film 48 Hours, "There's a new opiate in town and its name is technology." Yes, folks, everywhere you look these days, you see people "shooting up" their technological "drug" of choice, whether emails, text messages, […] [Read More]

I hope that Dr. Kanter will carefully read the Federal Constitution and note that the words "education" and "schools" are not therein. Also Amendment X says that if it is not in the Constitution it is not a federal issue, it is "left to the states and to the people." Public schools should be run by state and local governments, without federal control or federal money. Dr. Kanter should gently phase out federal activity regarding our public schools.

Recliner replacement handles
gardencrazy_1969June 4, 2009
Does anyone know where I can get replacement handles for my sofa recliner?
I would try the manufacturer, or in some cases the retailer. What brand is it and is it a lever arm or cable release? Leggett & Platt makes OEM mechanisms for most companies and would be another place to look. Flip your unit over and see if you can see the L&P sticker.

Tovey reveals reasons for Dragons exit
ESPNscrum Staff
February 21, 2012
Tovey will line up for the Blues next term © PA Photos
Dragons fly-half Jason Tovey has revealed the reasons behind his switch to PRO12 rivals the Cardiff Blues.
The 22-year-old will turn out for the Blues next term and claims that he hopes his international aspirations will improve at Cardiff rather than at his current region.
And Tovey has also cited the Blues' facilities as another reason behind his move. "It's all different things, the type of players they've got there [at the Blues], they play a different game to us and the facilities are top," Tovey told BBC Sport Wales. "So I'll be looking to improve with facilities like that.
"Hopefully with the facilities I can kick on and improve as a player, improve the weaknesses in my game - maybe my defence, maybe my kicking as well. Hopefully that'll push me to get Welsh credit."
Dragons' coach Darren Edwards remained quiet on Tovey's imminent departure - unlike the Dragons' attitude over Aled Brew's exit from Rodney Parade - but claims he has a long-term strategy at the Newport side. Edwards said: "It would be frustrating but we've also got a strategy as well so maybe there's a grand plan."

Winter Sowing Zinnias?
I've been waiting to sow my zinnias due to the non-stop rain here in MA. It looks like Saturday is going to be a nice sunny day but then we're going back into the soup again, at least until Wednesday of next week. How long can I wait to winter sow my zinnia's. I know I can just plant the seeds but I'd prefer to winter sow them in a milk jug because they always come out so nice, however, I'm worried because there isn't any sun and too much rain!
Would it be okay for me to add the seeds to the milk jugs and put them out on Saturday? Any thoughts?
I planted mine in jugs a couple of weeks ago. The temps here don't get high until June and most have not even sprouted yet. They will sprout when it's time. The seem to know more than I do about when they are ready. Just go ahead and do it. It won't hurt unless they sprout and then get a hard freeze. Probably unlikely now.
I wintersowed mine in march and they came up faster than i expected! Oops. Even tho i've been tarping when a frost is predicted they are brown and yellow now. So about 2 weeks ago i direct sowed and they've popped up already- niiiice. If i were you i'd just wait for all the rain to pass and then direct sow due to how fast they pop. Good luck!
Thank you all. The fact that they pop up so quickly is why I asked. I winter sowed them last year a bit too early and what happened to beachgrub happened to me, they sprouted in about a week but then we had a few cold nights and they turned brown, not to mention the soil I had sowed them in was horrible, a cross between cement and mud. Anyway I plan on putting some jugs of Zinnias out tommorrow and I have some nice potting soil from Maine to sow them in.. I can't wait, I just love Zinnias!
Thank again,
I started sowing my Zinnias this weekend, also. They should be perfect if sown around now. A little moisture before the heat hits will just get them primed to grow when the sun finally arrives. I plan to plant mine out as soon as they have any size at all.

Who is the BNP's "soldier"?
The far-right party exploits the war in Afghanistan for a propaganda stunt.
The far-right party exploits the war in Afghanistan for a propaganda stunt.
by Daniel Trilling Published
Today's Metro reports that the BNP leader Nick Griffin, who is standing for parliament in Barking, Essex, was criticised for campaigning alongside a man in army uniform at the weekend. The far-right, anti-immigration party, which is hoping to pick up votes by playing on people's disquiet at the war in Afghanistan, was criticised by a soldiers' charity, ABS, which said there was "no place in the army for racism or politics".
Metro claims not to know whether the man pictured with Griffin is a serving soldier. However, I can reveal he is no such thing: his name is Adam Walker, 41, a BNP member and former teacher who faces being struck off by the General Teaching Council for posting racist messages on the internet during a lesson.
On Saturday he was parading in front of news cameras gathered in Barking to cover the BNP's campaign launch. Asked if he was a real soldier, he admitted he wasn't. "I'm wearing this uniform in solidarity with our boys in Afghanistan," Walker said.
You can read a full report on the BNP's campaign in Barking in Thursday's magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Mitchell & Harold Land - Hear Ye,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Hear Ye! (Audio CD)
This was a co-led group that existed briefly on the West Coast at the start of the sixties. It was very similar in sound to the Curtis Counce group, with which Harold had been involved some two or three years earlier. In addition to the two leaders the disc has Carmell Jones on trumpet, Frank Strazzeri on piano and Leon Petties on drums. All play well, and the two leaders measure up to their standing as among the very best on their individual instruments.
Carmell Jones was strongly influenced by Clifford Brown, but has a softer sound. He plays attractive lines but on most of his recordings played with what one can only describe as a weak grace. Here he is more forceful, no doubt being kicked along by a very good rhythm section, and having to try to keep up with Harold Land. Land plays superbly, with sinuous authority, and a tone uniquely his own, hard on top but full of body underneath. His tone and his lines imbue everything he plays with the blues. He was one of the greats of the tenor and I would be hard pressed to think of any disc of his not worth five stars.
Strazzeri is described on the sleeve as the West Coast equivalent of Wynton Kelly. Well, he wasn't, but he was a fine swinging pianist, pretty much at his best on this disc. On 'Triplin' Awhile' his piano sounds slightly out of tune. He fits in to the group very well and helps knit it together into a very effective unit. Red Mitchell is superb. He was once described by Hampton Hawes as being the heartbeat of his music, and that is what he is here. He solos on every track, but not to great length, and has always been one of the more interesting bass soloists. The little known Petties plays well, and contributes fully to a swinging rhythm section.
All six tunes are originals contributed by members of the group. None are particularly strong melodically, but all provide suitable vehicles for blowing. All are various medium pacers except 'Pari Passu' which is faster. All musicians play well on all tracks and there are no low points anywhere. The unisons, and the few arranged passages, are all played impeccably. Incidentally, there are six tunes only, and the two standards referred to in one of the American reviews, are not there.
A disc that gives me a lot of pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swinging and inventive hard bop from the Red Mitchell-Harold Land Quintet in 1961.,
Jazzrook - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Hear Ye! (Audio CD)
Bassist Red Mitchell(1927-1992) and tenor saxophonist Harold Land(1928-2001) co-led this excellent quintet on the West Coast with the underrated trumpeter Carmell Jones(1936-1996), pianist Frank Strazzeri and drummer Leon Petties.
They recorded this album originally for ATLANTIC on October 14, 1961 and the six memorable tracks are all originals from members of the band.
Highlights include Land's 'Triplin' Awhile', Mitchell's 'Rosie's Spirit' & Carmell Jones 'Somara'.
'Hear Ye!' is an overlooked album full of swinging and inventive hard bop which, as the title suggests, certainly deserves a listen.

Service Scholar Spotlight: Billy Bonneau and Karlee Platts
Service Scholars Billy Bonneau and Karlee Platts will be walking across the stage during this Saturday's Commencement ceremony alongside 16 of their classmates who collectively have completed 16,140 hours of service over the last four years at Fisher.
The scholars have done volunteer work at the Ronald McDonald House, the Friendly Home, Rochester General Hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital, the Rochester City School District, Bivona Child Advocacy Center, Habitat for Humanity, and many other sites since 2010.
Bonneau, a native of Colonie (just outside of Albany), said the service scholarship has been one of the best things that has ever happened to him.
As a freshman, he volunteered at the American Cancer Society and then switched to volunteer at School No. 52 his sophomore year where he has been ever since. He has worked with the same teacher and students all three years, following them from 3rd grade to 5th grade. He helped the teacher with miscellaneous tasks and read with kids individually after their lunch.
"Service has made me appreciate everything I have in life and all of the opportunities I have available to me that others do not. I love being able to help students every time I go to volunteer because it makes me feel like I made an impact on someone's life, even if it is just one person," he said.
One moment that stood out to Bonneau was early on in his time at School No. 52 when he walked in and all of the kids screamed, "Mr. B!" at the top of their lungs.
"I remember that being a breakthrough moment for me, making me feel like I really made a difference with the kids, motivating me to keep coming back," he said.
And while service has taken up most of his time here, Bonneau also served as an Orientation leader for three years and was a sports writer for the Cardinal Courier all four years, serving as the Sports Copy Editor this year. He is also a member of Lambda Pi Eta. In addition, he found time for the track team during his sophomore and junior years.

"The Service Scholarship Program has opened my eyes to a whole new world of giving back and making a difference in someone else's life. I have learned so much about myself and about other people. I would recommend this to anyone, and I am so thankful for this opportunity," said Bonneau.
Platts, who is originally from Mohawk, NY, said growing up in a small town taught her to appreciate the important things in life including family values, hard work, philanthropy, dignity, and compassion. Her interest in community service really began in her childhood when she would visit her mother at work at St. Luke's Hospital. She said she always felt compelled to stay and help people. She also volunteered at a local retirement community, spending time each Sunday with the residents. Platts said it is her mission to help as many people as she can.
Since she came to Fisher, she has been involved in a variety of service initiatives from the Ronald McDonald House Gala to the Appalachia service trip that many students took last spring.
Her main site, though, became the Ronald McDonald House, which she refers to as her "home away from home." Each week, she would tackle whatever task needed tackling in the house, from cooking dinner, to cleaning rooms, or even doing laundry.
"As volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House, although we can't take away the family's pain, we can help lessen their burdens by ensuring that the families have a clean, stable and supportive place to stay," she said.
Away from her volunteer site, Platts has become involved in the program on campus, speaking at open houses, leading information sessions, and interviewing prospective Service Scholars. She said she volunteers to do those things because of how strongly she believes in the program. In addition, she held a leadership position in the Chemistry Club, participated in several Relay for Life events, and most recently created a Go Green Club on campus.
Platts won't go far this fall, as she will be enrolling in the College's Wegmans School of Pharmacy. Having had to face the decision between a pharmacy school in Maine or here at Fisher, she said a lot of her decision to stay was that she will still be able to work with the Ronald McDonald House.
"When you're a service scholar, it becomes your mission and responsibility to assist people in need and to dedicate much of your time to helping others. But, what I never expected was how much the service scholarship would change and help me. My perspective and outlook on life has grown so drastically during my time at Fisher and I attribute most of that growth to this program," she said. "I am grateful to have been a part of this program, I feel truly blessed."

Paducah's Mail Processing Facility Set to Close, Could Lead to Longer Delivery Times
Mail delivery times could lengthen in the Purchase area with the oncoming closure of Paducah's processing plant.
The US Postal Service announced the consolidation of more than 80 mail facilities this week.
Mail processed in Paducah would go to Evansville, Indiana, once the closure is complete. American Postal Workers Union Local 2500 Vice President Gerl McKinney said the process to cease operations should begin January 2015 and finish by that fall.
"The whole system is slowing down, and every time they close down a processing plant it slows down even more," he said. "What we're gonna see is a degradation of service for the area. That's really kind of ironic because the Paducah plant is one of the most efficient plants in the eastern area."
McKinney said one reason USPS still plans to close the Paducah plant may be that it is a small facility. He said Paducah would lose nearly 50 jobs, some of them part time, when the processing plant closes.
McKinney added that the closure will add an extra step in the delivery process delaying delivery times.
"The mail will get on a truck at Murray and go to Paducah, do a dock transfer, go to Evansville, Indiana, and it will be processed. And then it would be put back on a truck sent to Paducah, dock transferred again to a truck to Murray, and then out for delivery," he said. "Right now we've got a pretty good record for overnight delivery within the 420 area. Once they do the change it will be a two-day process."
McKinney said the union is going to fight the closure. The Paducah facility was set for closure in 2012 and 2014, but USPS delayed then cancelled its decision.

Orozco replaces Leyva at worlds
Olympian John Orozco has been named to the U.S. men's team for next month's world gymnastics championships, replacing Danell Leyva.
TOE THE LINEWorld's best gymnasts pointed all their efforts toward gold at London Olympics. View photos
Orozco finished fourth at the U.S. gymnastics championships last weekend, his first major competition since surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee last October. But he was passed over for the world team in favor of Leyva, the bronze medalist in the all-around at last summer's London Olympics. Leyva withdrew from the team Monday because of a shoulder injury.
Orozco joins new national champion Sam Mikulak, fellow Olympian Jake Dalton, Steve Legendre, Alex Naddour and Brandon Wynn on the team for worlds, which begin Sept. 30 in Antwerp, Belgium. This will be Orozco's second appearance at the world championships.

i am very much surprised and at the same time too delighted to know that my poem / poems have been posted, explained, and reviewed at several websites....like the following.......on Poets' Voice
Adolescence ii
A lot of praise and admiration,
on my forehead
on my cheeks
I got when I was a wind-bud of innocence
one by one the drops of rain
blown away
by the bankrupt wind
the full pant
drew a lot of curiosity and criticism
: when
I was looking at the watch
it laughed,
the tide lashed out,
now I find myself thrown out
under crook and clumsy seductive adolescence.
Head down
Straight paths turn into snakes,
venoms in the air
the taste of my senses turned sour
unknown pricks
the soul is heavy and restless,
The world appears suffocated ruthless.
Now and then
, sentiments creep in,
cool like hot wind blowing around
, I do not know how to warm my heart
and cool my mind,
easy life becomes hard, thinking gone absurd,
depth less burning, calm less itching titillation
insatiable desire, and unreal imagination,
fear-guilty-under morality-frozen blood
Reason-logic floats tumultuous overturn
vessels in the flood,
volcanic eruption crave quivering,
crazy emotions all are thrilling!
How to cope,
where to turn,
is easy life forever gone?
Analysis of Adolescence
by Abdul Wahab
This poem is by Abdul Wahab and it is called Adolescence.
This poem is simply about a person going through adolescence and wondering if the times where they were young kids and had nothing to worry about, the easy life, were forever gone. This poem goes through the basic emotions teenagers deal with through their adolescence. The person in this poem is reminiscing the moments as a child where they were praised and given admiration for the smallest of achievements but when adolescence took over, everything changed. It gets hard to think when somebody keeps changing the difficulty level with every year that you move on, the world creeps in on you and the stress begins to build, hormones whizzing round your body, it can almost feel like you're going crazy sometimes. This is what the poem is all about, the confusing emotions of adolescence.
The message or main theme of this poem is the hardships of adolescence and assuming that life will only get even more merciless and tiring every step of the way, but the thing that people forget is that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Adolescence is the time in your life where you find your person, who you are, and it is the time in your life where you will face obstacles and courses that are there to mould you into the person you will be in your adulthood, every test, every relationship, every conflict, everything is there as assessments to experiment your reactions and your solutions to problems and issues thrown at you by life. Adolescence can be a painful part of life for some but for others, they like to mess around and enjoy the time they have as teenagers. But no matter which path of adolescence you choose, you are likely to face the exact situation featured in the poem. There will be a time where you reach your crisis, the bottom line and the worst part of your adolescence, where the load on your shoulders just get too burdensome and eventually everything goes out of control, Your thinking goes hazy and you can't think straight, mood swings ricochet from the walls, raging hormones beg for attention, the imagination runs wild, crazy emotions fill your brain with thoughts most won't comprehend. This is adolescence. But we all know that what goes under the surface must come back up for air, believe it or not, it does get better. Eventually, your life will balance out once you've found your inner self and you will know what you want in your future and what you need to be happy. But even knowing this, ultimately, everybody knows that taking the next step will be easier and lighter than the last.
Poetic language techniques are used to get the message across in this poem, lots of comparison happening between the easy life turning into the hard life over the years of adolescence. The easy life being when they were tiny children, running around the playground, not worrying when the next essay is due or when the next life deciding test is coming up. The easy life where you could have fun and forget about the rest of the world with nothing to fear. Abdul Wahab compares this easy life to this so called 'hard life' of adolescence where most are basically confused and in a blur for the school years of 13-18 years of age. The test or big speeches that freeze up your blood in nervousness, worry, fear. The darn hormones that make your thoughts unclear and fuzzy, your desire for lust bigger than ever. The world suffocating and sucking the soul out of you with each boulder of an issue tossed at you. The use of rhyme is very present and very important in the making of this poem, without the rhyming scheme, this poem probably wouldn't be as appetizing to read as it is. The rhymes in couplets are a very powerful weapon because it makes the idea of the poem stick in your head properly, it keeps you reading, and it usually gives off a sort of rhythm with it.
While reading this poem, it feels like a big helping of a pie called Relativity and it is absolutely delicious. Having something to relate to in your adolescence is something that makes you feel less alone, and more confident to know that there are people out there who feel the exact way you do as well... It's a comforting thought to know that you might not be the only one who just freaks out at the simplest things, to know you have someone react as you do when you hear that a big assignment is due in a week. In a weird way, it's consoling.
In my short experience of poem reading, this has got to be the poem I can most relate to. It represents what I sometimes feel and it does feel nice to know there are other teenagers in the world sharing the adventure of adolescence with me. It's something that read and just wonder if the poet were somehow stalking my everyday activities and noting down observations of me. It's a comfort and a cycle of relief to read this anytime and know that I'm not the only person who feels the way the poet conveyed everything down.
