Good News
The arteriogram showed blockage in 3 arteries but not enough that I need surgery now for this.They also said there is a small apical defect-not sure what this is.The mitral valve is showing minimal leakage.but now are saying the cord is not detached-Thank God The cardio doc says he does not know what is causing this and now I have 4 drs.and am hearing different opinions and 2 are of the same group,each putting it off on the other to come up with what should be done.I asked to be dismissed.I am going to find a cardiologist at Emory to find out the cause.Kidney function was 45% when I left.I went to a chronic renal failure class yesterday for 2 hrs.I learned alot.I am at stage 3.I go to a nutrionist June 16.I know it will be a strict diet but thats ok.At this point.I will try my best to do whatever they say.I can lift 10 lbs,walk 30 min a day starting at 10 and working up.No more big hole digging for me.I did stay out a few minutes yesterday just walking around enjoying my flowers.They are so beautiful and have so many blooming.I will try to plant maybe 10-20 a day.My daughters came and did quite a few for me.I will just be glad when all of this is over.I want to get back to my gardening life..
Thank You all for your prayers,thoughts and caring.I believe God heard those prayers and that is why I did not have to have heart surgery right now.I am expecting the same for the mitral valve surgery.It is so good to be back home with family and all my garden web friends.
moonphase - that is really good news! Emory is a great place to look for a cardiologist - one of the top heart centers in the country.
much good luck, and hope you can get back to your gardening very soon!

Oh good moonphase! Take a nice comfy chair and SIT in the gardens and admire them a bit and relish the fact that surgery is not right around the corner at least! Perhaps the doctors at Emery will have other ideas. One day at a time. Best of luck to you!
Moonphase, so glad to hear you're out of the hospital and don't need surgery for the time being. My sister & I had a scare with my Mom about a month back. Here's a couple articles we found regarding mitral valves.
The one above has some drawings of the heart which may be useful.

Glad to hear you're home. Had you on my mind.
Had my father in ER twice in past several weeks and waiting to hear on date for catheterization with stents most likely. They said he had some "leakage" also but this was first we heard about it when getting second opinion after first cardiologist got miffed that I asked too many questions. They wanted to schedule catheterization without telling us what they found on nuclear tests to warrant it. Told them they weren't going to stick a catheter in his femoral artery and root around in his heart without telling us why. New docs are patient, kind and top rated for this "everyday procedure." Guess I should've expected this since he's 80 but all the doctors still keep saying his heart muscle is fit as a fiddle but won't be if whatever is causing blockage/leakage isn't investigated or fixed.
He's 80 and you're still a spring chicken, Moonphase. You go girl, and find docs who will help you get back onto the garden path at whatever speed feels right for you.

States Reported That Citizenship Documentation Requirement Resulted in Enrollment Declines for Eligible Citizens and Posed Administrative Burdens
GAO-07-889: Published: Jun 28, 2007. Publicly Released: Jul 25, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7059
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) included a provision that requires states to obtain documentary evidence of U.S. citizenship or nationality when determining eligibility of Medicaid applicants and current beneficiaries; self-attestation of citizenship and nationality is no longer acceptable. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued regulations states must follow in obtaining this documentation. Interested parties have raised concerns that efforts to comply with the requirement will cause eligible citizens to lose access to Medicaid coverage and will be costly for states to implement. GAO was asked to examine how the requirement has affected individuals' access to Medicaid benefits and assess the administrative and fiscal effects of implementing the requirement. To do this work, GAO surveyed state Medicaid offices in the 50 states and the District of Columbia about their perspectives on access issues and the administrative and fiscal effects of the requirement. GAO obtained complete responses from 44 states representing 71 percent of national Medicaid enrollment in fiscal year 2004. GAO also reviewed federal laws, regulations, and CMS guidance.
States reported that the citizenship documentation requirement resulted in barriers to access to Medicaid for some eligible citizens. Twenty-two of the 44 states reported declines in Medicaid enrollment due to the requirement, and a majority of these states attributed the declines to delays in or losses of Medicaid coverage for individuals who appeared to be eligible citizens. Of the remaining states, 12 reported that the requirement had no effect and 10 reported they did not know the requirement's effect on enrollment. Not all of the 22 states reporting declines could quantify enrollment declines due specifically to the requirement, but a state that had begun tracking the effect identified 18,000 individuals in the 7 months after implementation whose applications were denied or coverage was terminated for inability to provide the necessary documentation, though the state believed most of them to be eligible citizens. Further, states reporting a decline in enrollment varied in their impressions about the requirement's effect on enrollment after the first year of implementation. States' enrollment policies and whether an individual was an applicant or a beneficiary may have influenced the requirement's effect on access to Medicaid. For example, states that relied primarily on mail-in applications before the requirement were more likely to report declines in enrollment than states where individuals usually applied in person. In addition, the requirement may have more adversely affected applicants than beneficiaries because applicants were given less time to comply in some states and were not eligible for Medicaid benefits until they documented their citizenship. Although states reported investing resources to implement the requirement, potential fiscal benefits for the federal government and states are uncertain. All 44 states reported taking administrative measures to implement the requirement and assist individuals with compliance. In addition, 10 states reported that a total of $28 million was appropriated in state fiscal year 2007, and 15 states budgeted funds for implementation costs in state fiscal year 2008. Despite these measures, states reported that the requirement has increased the level of assistance needed by individuals and amount of time spent by states during the enrollment process. States specified two aspects of the requirement as increasing the burden for them and for individuals: that documents had to be originals and the list of acceptable documents was complex and did not allow for exceptions. Further, although CMS estimated the requirement would result in savings for the federal government and states of $90 million for fiscal year 2008, states' responses indicated that this estimate may be overstated for two reasons. Specifically, CMS did not account for the increased administrative expenditures reported by states, and the agency's estimated savings from ineligible, noncitizens no longer receiving benefits may be less than anticipated. In commenting on a draft of the report, CMS raised concerns about the conclusions drawn from the survey responses as to the requirement's effect on access, mainly that states did not submit data to support their responses.

Chris Juby, is a church worker and freelance web developer based in Durham, UK. He is on a mission – his goal? To summarize the entire bible on Twitter over the next 3 years.
For a number of years I've had the habit of reading a chapter of the Bible each morning – I find it helps me ground my thoughts for the day and keeps me rooted in God's story.
I read from Genesis to Revelation in order (for no particular reason other than it's easy to find my place). It takes over three years to read all 1189 chapters.
This time through I decided to write a brief summary of each chapter to help me focus on what I've read. I also decided to fit my summaries into Twitter's 140 character limit and publish them at @biblesummary

Are you quilting this weekend? Dec. 14-15
I almost forgot to post! We are still visiting our DD & SIL with the new baby. I am doing laundry for them today.
I am excited to start working on the 3rd clue of the Celtic Solstice when I get home. I have clue 2 almost done. I still have to finish my Christmas shopping too. We aren't celebrating until the 28 so I have a couple extra days.
Are you quilting this weekend or are you getting ready for the holidays?
Linda OH
I have spent the entire day trying to pack up boxes for shipping. All our children live out of town and only one family will be here during the holiday week. So that means five boxes to get out. And wouldn't you know I cleaned out the garage this summer and tossed all the boxes piled up out there. Now I have to scrounge to find suitable shipping containers. And my back is giving me major grief. But on the bright side, once they are gone, I can say hell-o to my machine again.
I finished piecing the front of the falling charms yesterday. Today I finished the back and cut the batting out of the new giant roll I bought. Cleaned a bunch of the house including my sewing area, which is in the family room. Once I finish with the Christmas sewing, I'll get everything put away and it will look great. Tomorrow church in the am, party in the pm and I have to make a pie before we go, so no more sewing this weekend.
We got about 4 -5 inches of snow today and it was just lovely coming down all day. So Christmasy.
We spent the afternoon and evening at DD's where she waited on the Geezer and I had a break from it for awhile. He's getting around better on his own, so it won't be long til he's back to normal. I did get 3 pillowcases up to the French Seam stage before we left and hotdog rolled 6 while at DD's. Hope to get them all sewed tomorrow.
I hope to finish what is now what I refer to as "the Leddy quilt". All that's left to do is quilt a border seam and the binding. I pray I get it done. Then on to 4 stockings for my daughter and an apron for my SIL. Did I mention I need to finish shopping?
However in spite of all the sewing I need to do, today I'm going with my dear Marine hubby as he plays Gunny Claus for military families at Camp Lejuene, NC 20 miles from our home. This is the first year he has done it and he loves it. Tonight is my first night going. So sewing will have to wait. Gunny Claus has priority tonight.
Late last night I finished the last of the pincushions. S-I-L is making me embroidery labels this week to go on them. I uploaded a pic of them to GW Quilting Forum just now. Probably all I will get done sewing-wise this weekend. Hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and peaceful New Year.
Best to you and yours,

Finally stitched the label on the quilt I finished after all this time. Working on table runners now and feeling glad to be back in the sewing mood.

We're fortunate to come to a point every summer, sometimes more than once, when we have too many tomatoes to consume in a reasonably short amount of time. It's a little sad, because we love them fresh, but you can only eat so many, and we refuse to let them go to waste. So we decided to use one of our cheat days and make pasta sauce with quinoa pasta.
2 tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
7 cups fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped (or 2 28-ounce cans whole plum tomatoes)
2 tablespoons red wine
Pinch of coconut sugar
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil
Pinch of dried oregano or thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, freshly chopped (optional)
Makes about 5 cups, serving 4 to 6.
This was really good the night of, but even better the second and third day, when the flavors had time to meld. We stirred in a pound of hamburger (classy right?) but it's obviously optional. It's been forever since we had pasta, and it was our first time having quinoa pasta, so this was a fun treat. It definitely cooks well, better than brown rice pasta which we had earlier this spring.
Do you have a favorite way to use tomatoes?

How did people even get this saved? This isn't even like B, it's just a collage of various video game women being with your boring dot. May I need to say more about this "epic sequel"?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
go pointlessness that makes it funnier
And so it shal!
Rated 0 / 5 stars
How did I know?
Again, I'm giving you a score of 0/10. Why? Because again you've proven that you don't put ANY effort into making flash, but instead you're spamming the portal. The terrible thing is I bet you actually do have SOME flash talent, but you aren't using it at all. I'm going to lay it out again in my format, because it's my job.
Graphics/Animation: 0
There was nothing about this flash that I could consider "graphics" or "animating" of any kind. This is why you have a 0.
Audio: 0.5
Again, you have improved a little bit from the Dot of Excellence, but not by much because...it just wasn't all that impressive.
Originality: 0
Considering you have 4 of these right now, and they're all basically the same - I would say that there's no originality.
Humor: 0
Still hasn't made me crack a smile.
Story: 0
No story.
Overall: 0/10
There's no redeeming quality about this flash. Not one. You need to put effort into your flashes before actually submitting them.
\Review Request Club/
Your review amuses me. I like how people hate the series.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Almost nothing of merit
Funky music. Again no credit. Loops badly though.
I liked some of the pics - but some are bad quality and the one thing you've actually done - paste them all in - doesn't seem like it's had a lot of time spent on it. You haven't aligned them or positioned them with a lot of thought.
I did like the winking circle. That made me chuckle for a moment.
-Review Request Club -
Uh, that circle is a dot. But thanks for the review!
Rated 0 / 5 stars
I'm guessing the point of this is to get low reviews or something along those lines becuase the flash itself doesn't have a point to it. This is just some still pictures slaped onto a stage with some badly looping music, sure if it looped better it might be a little better but still, wouldn't be much of a flash.
The quality of the pictures is pretty bad, small too so kind of pointless and the audio is also pretty bad quality too, doesn't loop well and everything but you know all this I'm guessing. Do something more productive if you want to use the pictures, make a quiz with them or something, just something with some entertainment value.
= Review Request Club =
Tis okay. You're just being honest

The weather was the same from Innsbruck on. No sun, which has been ******* us prairie people. The sky is grey, not really any rain but just a dull sky and between +2 and +6 but most importantly for driving on the Autobahns, NO SNOW.
We were really glad we had made the stop.

Sinus surgery update
This is an update on my previous posting re. sinus surgery.
First of all, thanks to those that responded to my post with messages of support.
I had my surgery yesterday morning at 10 AM and was back home at around 4 PM. I woke up from sleep feeling absolutely fine waiting for them to wheel me into the operating theater and they told me everything was OVER!!I had no clue what happened LOL. I was having the usual after effects...lots of bleeding from the nose and a headache. I took a painkiller and the head ache is almost gone. I am out of anaestheisa now and feeling better. The bleeding is also not as bad.
So thank you for your messages. They've been an immense source of support for this person who has only been to the hospital once in her life..for the birth of my DS two years ago!!

What are you growing in your garden this year?
Hi all,
I'm new to Northern Utah. We moved here in december. We were from San Diego where the growing season is year round. Since I am not in a permanent place I am growing in containers this year.
So far I have 3 tomato plants and some lettuce/spinach starts going. I also have a bush cucumber plant started and some mammoth sunflowers. It's all trial for me as I have not grown in this climate before.
What are you guys growing this year? I am curious to see what variety is grown here in Utah.
Tomatoes peppers and onions are always staples for our salsa. Beans and vine crops (pumpkin, watermelon, cantalope, squash) do well during the heat of the summer. About august I will plant the cool weather crop for fall = broccoli, cabbage, peas, lettuce, etc.
Tomatoes, sweet peas, parsley. Just starting the green onions, as I'm told they are vigorous to the point of taking over here. Mint and lemon balm came up from last year. Sunflowers getting huge. Only my second year gardening at all, ever. But I have a friend with a market garden farm going for her Master Gardener certification, I've been picking her brains.
Hi, I am growing sweet peppers, jalapeno peppers, Hungarian wax peppers and anahime peppers, potatoes, corn, cantelope, watermelon, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes mini and large, bush beans, radishes, and slice and pickle cucumbers. All are doing well right now.
I had an incredibly productive garden this year with 12 different varieties of tomatoes, probably 20 varieties of peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, melons, beets, potatoes, kale, and herbs. There has been a real learning curve with mountain gardening! Every year I learn a little bit more.
I made a big list (mostly for myself so I can remember next year) but seems like I could share it here :)
I like to try all sorts of things. Some I know about, some I donâÂÂt.
I put the link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: What I am planting this year in my garden.
I'm doing a landscape project at my sister's house this year - it's new construction, so there is absolutely nothing in the yard except weed grasses, a few apple trees lining the road, a lone peony and tiny iris clump - left-overs/survivors from before the construction began.
I'm in Sevier county, so had to bring in all of my starts that had been hardening off outside for the past week or so due to the hard freeze last week and forecast hard freeze tonight (GRRR!).
What I've got going so far:
Amaranthus caudatus (Love Lies Bleeding)
Hyacinth Bean
Cypress Vine
German & Roman Chamomile
Wormwood Absinthe
False Indigo
Threadleaf coreopsis
Sky Pilot (Phacelia sericea - this grows wild on the foothills & mountains here)
She's hoping for a chamomile/creeping thyme lawn, and I as a home brewer, I'm hoping to plant some hops vines as well. I've got a ton of other seeds to consider.
She's not much of a gardener, so I'm thinking easy, obnoxious even, plants:
Evening Primrose
Breadseed Poppy
Sweet Pea
Blue Flax
California Poppy
And the list goes on :)
Hi all. Glad to see the Utah forum getting a bit of traffic. I'll have to check back more often.
@GardenLax, I Like your list with pictures. Looks great.
@abq_bob, I know nothing about ornamental plants or landscaping, just vegetables. But I am trying herbs this year and have a few that are also on your list.
I am in PG and i have these Growing in my garden:
cutting lettuce
kennebec potatoes
spaghetti squash
field pumpkins
butternut squash
crookneck summer squash
sugar snap peas
8 varieties of tomatoes.
6 varieties of peppers
pole beans
and lots of herbs
I inconsistently post pictures of my garden at jonathanpassey.com
Here is a link that might be useful: jonathanpassey.com
Thanks for sharing everyone. Last year my tomatoes did pretty good but I only got one Cucumber from my plant.
This year In containers I have:
3 Roma Tomato plants
4 cherry tomatoes
1 Pickling cucumber
1 Honey dew
4 Jalapenos
1 Serrano
1 Lime Thyme
1 Rosemary
1 Goji Berry
3 Mammoth Sunflowers
1 Tomatillo Verde
Everything was from the nursery nearby except the Mammoth Sunflowers were from seed. I have the cucumber in the same container as the sunflowers with the idea that the cucumber will climb up the stalks of the sunflowers. We shall see how that goes. The tomatillo is new to me, I thought I would try it this year. Although I have read that I might need another one so that they can pollinate each other. So far lots of flowers but I don't see any fruits. :(
New year, much of the same stuff as last. Tomatoes and peas, Anaheims and jalepeños. Getting a few tiny strawberries. The spinach and lettuce are infested with leaf miners. Green onions, leeks, lemon balm and mint, lavender and thyme came back. And sunflowers, masses of sunflowers. Too much, but nothing else was growing over there, and even they have a lot of leaves chewed up, so we wait and see.
Tried California poppy seeds, but none have appeared.

I am getting ready to make my first conversion of a normal size fridge into a kegerator and have a few questions:
1. Should I have the CO2 tank inside or outside the refrigerator? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either placement? I have a used 20 lb tank and if I have it inside I will only have room for 2 kegs. If I place it outside I will have room for three corneys. I would be able to use a 5 lb canister inside the refrigerator.
2. If I want to drill tap lines should I drill these through the door or through the side of the refrigerator? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either placement?
3. Is there an inner diameter of hose and length that will work the best for kegerators?
4. Are there things you wished you would have either known or done differently when you think back to building your first kegerator?
Thanks for any input you have to share.

"Beer will change the world. I don't know how, but it will."
1) There is no difference from what I have seen. However, the local CO2 salesman told me that I will get better usage of my CO2 if its outside of the fridge. However, I have not ran into this.
2) Drilling into the side of a fridge is risky business. There are coolant lines running inside those walls that you must avoid. The best bet is to get a manual online and locate those coolant lines. Either that or do what my friend did and drill with a 1/16" drill bit first, to make sure you miss the lines, the drill with the larger bit.
3) I use 3/16" lines, if I add some resistance, via these: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/cure...oubles-100151/ I have no troubles, otherwise go with about 8' of hose.
4) I wish I wouldn't have done so much damn research prior to jumping in... I'm kinda anal!
If the CO2 tank is external then will I have to drill 3 separate holes for the supply lines from the keg? Is there a way to get by with just using 1 hole and perhaps feed the CO2 from my 20 lb external tank into a 5 lb (inside the fridge) tank that then connects to each keg?
If you keep your tank outside, just drill 1 hole for the line and then inside the fridge you can split it anyway you like.
I have an older fridge that I turned into a kegerator a couple weeks ago. I keep my tank inside and it still allows me room for 3 corny kegs. One thing you will notice if you do keep your tank inside is that as your tank gets cold, your regulator will appear to be dropping pressure and it will look like your almost out in a hurry, yet your not... so dont panic if you do go that route.
1. I suggest you to put the tank outside. The reason is, the pressure in the tank will get higher at harm temperature, so you will benefit of more co2 before the tank seems to be empty. And another thing that is good is that you dont have to open the door to adjust your regulator that might be hidden behind kegs.
4. No, because I'm not finished yet with mine, but planning is the key. For me it's a long process, I want perfection. I found a danby minifrige with a digital thermostat accessible from the top front, it show me the temperature in the fridge, it's awsome..
Another hint, if your a freak like me. I found that pvc parts from electric outdoor boxs can be usefull to insulate the holes in the fridge some of these part can be connected through the foam with rubber rings and let a 1/2'' hose fit perfectly.

If you are suspected of unemployment fraud how will the investigation process work? What should an individual under investigation expect and how is the investigation conducted?
Federal Crime Lawyer
It depends. Federal investigations for fraud are often conducted without the subjects knowledge, and can take up to years. The FBI will conduct research, subpoena records, and develop a case. If sufficient evidence is found, then the FBI will either seek a warrant and the subject will be arrested, or, they will approach the subject and ask to "discuss the case with them." This is where most people give up information they shouldn't and make the situation worse.

Got my first camera when I was WAY shorter than I am now. I think it was a Kodak Brownie. Went crazy taking pictures of anything and everything. Fast forward, i've gone from disposeables to point and shoots to dslr's. I'm fairly inexperienced regarding the latter but want to learn. I also really enjoy post editing. Capturing the moment gives me a thrill, you know, whatever peaks my interest. Most of all I want to be able to translate what my eye sees, into print.
Hi all! Moved here (Basel area) from the US with my husband. It's been a bit over 3 years and I'm still loving it.

Had enough of the Ohio weather that has brought several inches of snow and a wicked cold snap, after just one week into the month of January? You are not alone.
The Auglaize County Public Library may not be able to take you on a magic carpet ride to the Bahamas or Caribbean Islands, but they can get your mind off the cold weather for an hour and think about somewhere that is not only 75 degrees warmer, but also much more beautiful too.
County officials are discussing plans to repair the failing cast iron sewer pipe throughout the Auglaize County Law Enforcement Center in 2015, with construction likely beginning in the spring.
In 2014, about 20 percent of the building's cast iron pipe was replaced with PVC pipe as part of an emergency repair.
A man has changed his plea in a breaking and entering case that involved three men stealing scrap metal from Murotech in St. Marys on Oct. 29. In addition, two Wapakoneta men await sentencing in the same case.
Haehn Florist and Greenhouses is accepting donations for its second annual Adopt-a-Grandparent program.
Wapakoneta firefighters responded to an apartment fire at Blume Apartments, 407 S. Blackhoof St., on Thursday afternoon.
According to Wapakoneta Fire Chief Kendall Krites, there was small fire in an unoccupied apartment on the second floor of the two-story structure.
One of America's favorite times of the year, the annual Girl Scout cookie sale, kicks off today.
Individual orders can be placed now through Feb. 22, and cookies will be delivered the week of Feb. 28. Girl Scouts will be selling to friends, family and door-to-door until March 6, when booth sales begin. The sale concludes at the end of March.
For years, the state of Ohio has had an interesting color, to say the least, for its driver's license.
Salmon — or pink, depending on your color preference — is gone, as drivers will now have a blue and green colored license.
Effective Monday, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issued a new format of Ohio's driver license and identification cards to customers who are renewing them.
The August chemical leak at AIP Logistics Inc. was discussed at the Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting, held Wednesday morning at the Auglaize County Administration Building.
Committee Chairman and Wapakoneta Fire Chief Kendall Krites said since the last LEPC meeting, the EPA passed their investigation information to the attorney general's office who then sought a temporary restraining order against the company.
Auglaize County Commissioners on Tuesday passed the annual appropriation resolution for fiscal year 2015, approving a 3 percent increase from last year in total general and special funds.
A total of $55,016,186 represents the entire budget for all county departments, which includes $38,731,887 in special funds and $16,284,298 in the general fund.
The end of the holiday season brings a drop in donations for many food pantries.

King's Cup holders Real Madrid and 2011 runners-up Barcelona are on course to meet in next month's quarter-finals following Friday's draw for the last 16. If Real get past Malaga over two legs on January 4 and 11 and Barca dispose of Osasuna, the great rivals will play each other home and away on January 18 and 25. "To be champion you have to beat all the teams, whether they are from lower divisions or the best," Real director of football Miguel Pardeza told the club's website. "We are not thinking about it yet (a possible meeting with Barca) and are focused on the Malaga tie," the former Realplayer said.

Friday's draw at the soccer federation headquarters outside Madrid also pitted Valencia against Sevilla and Real Sociedad versus Real Mallorca in the only other all-La Liga clashes. Third-tier Albacete, who beat Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, play Athletic Bilbao, Mirandes, also in the third division and conquerors of Villarreal, face Racing Santander and second tier Alcorcon and Cordoba play Levante and Espanyol respectively. Real Madrid prevented a Barca clean sweep of trophies in 2011 by beating the Catalans 1-0 in the Cup final in Valencia thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's dramatic extra-time winner. It was the only silverware Real won in Jose Mourinho's first season in charge, as Barcelona secured a third straight La Liga title and a second Champions League crown in three years. They knocked Real out in the semi-finals of Europe's elite club competition and went on to win the Spanish and European Super Cups and the Club World Cup, taking Barca coach Pep Guardiola's trophy haul to 13 in 3-1/2 seasons.

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan has left many of us reeling, particularly as it came so soon after the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are overwhelmed by the devastation and the helplessness we all feel to respond. So how do we pray for those who are suffering and for those who have died? It is not easy and anything that we can say seems inadequate. Here is what came to my mind this afternoon as I was praying for the people of Japan and remembered again those in Christchurch, and Libya, Yemen, the Ivory Coast, and the many other places of unrest in our world

Its amazing how two kids could cause so many problems. Cops from the 61st Precinct told members of the Madison Marine Civic Association last week that burglaries in the area dropped to nearly nothing after they apprehended two thieving teenagers, as well as a third suspect nabbed after he swiped a purse from a home back on February 22. Captain George Mastrokostas, the commanding officer of the 61st Precinct, said that the two ages 14 and 16 were apprehended last month after they allegedly committed a robbery on Coney Island Avenue near Avenue P back on February 5. When cops corralled the two teens, an officer noticed that one of the youngsters was wearing a watch that had been reported stolen from a home in the Madison-Marine area a thatch of one or two family homes in the north-eastern end of Sheepshead Bay and Homecrest hugging Marine Park. Cops told residents that the two teens would scout out locations on a scooter and then force open easily accessible windows leading to darkened alleyways. Many residents told police that they recalled seeing the scooter. One Marine Madison Civic Association member said that she not only saw the scooter, but one of the teens when he noticed that she was looking at her scooter. He [the teen] actually ran up and said, Thats mine, the woman said. Thats how I got a good look at his face. We were having a problem in the East 20s, but that started to change when we arrested those two teens, Mastrokostas said, adding that out of the 27 burglaries that took place in the 61st Precinct in the 28 days leading up to March 9, nine of them had occurred in the three sectors that encompass the Madison-Marine area. Thanks to community involvement, we sent cops onto blocks that they wouldnt normally be on and weve gotten some positive results, Mastrokostas said. Burglaries in the area began drying up after the arrest of the two teens. They continued to fall when cops arrested a sticky-fingered thief responsible for robbing homes as he went from address to address during the last snow storm, asking residents if they wanted their sidewalks shoveled. Mastrokostas said that the unidentified thief was arrested a few days after he showed up at a East 28th Street home on the morning of February 22. When a little girl opened the door, the thief asked if her mother needed her front walk shoveled. He then took the 28-year-old womans purse as he was left at the entrance of the home with the door open as the girl went to find her mother. The purse the woman stole was sitting on a couch near the door, he said. Cops apprehended him after they learned that he was using the womans credit cards in stores along Kings Highway. Mastrokostas said that the purse grabber had just been released from prison after being kept in custody for several days. Were going to be keeping an eye on him, he said. As of March 16, the number of burglaries in the 61st Precinct had jumped by 21 percent, from 55 in 2007 to 67 this year, according to recently published CompStat statistics. The 61st Precinct protects residents in Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Manhattan Beach, Homecrest and parts of Midwood.

21 NMSU student athletes named All-WAC
Las Cruces, NM — The New Mexico State athletics department announced Wednesday that the 21 student-athletes from men's & women's cross country, soccer and volleyball were named Academic All-WAC honorees for the fall semester.
"We are extremely proud of the accomplishments that our student-athletes have made in the classroom," NM State Athletics Director Dr. McKinley Boston said. "This obviously shows consistency of effort from our student-athletes, coaches and academic support people, that we are performing at a very high level both competitively and in the classroom."
"I'm extremely proud of our student-athletes academic success and it's truly an honor and privilege to work with so many dedicated students-athletes who represent NM State with the utmost respect," Associate Athletics Director/Sport Administrator James Hall said.
The NM State soccer team landed seven student-athletes on the list, followed by the volleyball and women's cross country each with six, while men's cross country added two honorees.
"As we always do, we try and put out a great product on the soccer field, but as equally important is that we try to be successful in the classroom and our athletes do a great job of balancing both," interim head women's soccer coach Freddy Delgado said. "We are very proud to have a large number of our student-athletes placed on the Academic All-WAC team."
"We are really proud of the effort and drive of these six student-athletes, not just in the gym but in the classroom," head volleyball coach Mike Jordan said. "It's nice to see their hard work being rewarded."
"It's always nice to see the fruition of our athlete's hard work in the classroom come at the end of the season," assistant track and field/cross country coach Chris Huff said. "They are student-athletes first and our athletes take great pride in that."
