National security
DHS Appropriations
Quigley voted in favor of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[8]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Quigley voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[8]
Quigley voted in favor of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[9] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[8]
Quigley voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[8]
Farm bill
On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, known as the Farm Bill.[10] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill provides for the reform and continuation of agricultural and other programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[11][12] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[12] Quigley voted with 102 other Democratic representatives against the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[13][14] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[14] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[15] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and the protection of the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Quigley joined with the majority of the Democratic party and voted in favor of the bill.[13][14]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[16] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[17] Quigley voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[18]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[19] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Quigley voted for HR 2775.[20]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Quigley voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States. The vote largely followed party lines.[8]
Healthcare Reform Rules
Quigley voted against House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[8]
Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act
Quigley voted against HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[8]
Social issues
Amash amendment
Quigley voted against House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act. Both parties were split on the vote.[8]

[quote author="MDBeach"]I would gander that even the most realistic theists still believe the actual miracle portion has to be taken literally, although I disagree. I would even be so bold as to say that they will freely admit the purpose of the miracle is up for interpretation.
But that's my own experience, not academia.
Agreed. Any evidence has to be miracle-free, or any putative miracles have to be explained in natural terms. At the very least, the theist must state why their miracles are possible, but all others are not.
As far as I'm concerned, every god is on equal footing. I'm looking for anything; a scrap of physical evidence, independent of miracles, that raises the probability of any particular god literally existing. If you're going to make statements about the physical world (e.g. resurrection is physically possible), then you'll need some physical evidence to back that up.

Veach Joins Women's Lacrosse Coaching Staff
August 10, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Cayla Veach has been named the new assistant coach of womens lacrosse as announced earlier today by Pfeiffer University athletic director Bobby Stewart and head coach Dawn Easley.
After a brief hiatus from coaching, Veach joins the Pfeiffer staff previously serving as an assistant coach at Guilford College in 2005-2006. Two years earlier, she held the same position with her alma mater, Gannon University.
Veach, a 2004 graduate of Gannon with a degree in Elementary Education, brings a strong playing background to Pfeiffer heading into her first season with the Lady Falcons lacrosse program. In 2001, Veach helped lead her Knights teammates to the NCAA II final four in Easton, Massachusetts while earning All-American honors. In addition, she cashed in on pre-season All-American awards in 2003 and 2004.
Originally from Glastonbury, CT, Veach lettered all four years on the varsity lacrosse team at Glastonbury High School where she picked up numerous all-conference and all-state accolades. Veach was a two-sport star at Glastonbury lettering in basketball for four years. She also demonstrated her multi-talented abilities during her college time at Gannon playing on the womens soccer team for two years.
I am very excited about having Cayla on board stated Easley. She brings with her experience as a player and coach, from nationally competitive programs. Her dedication and enthusiasm will truly be an asset here at Pfeiffer.

Pfeiffer University is a Division II member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). As a member, Pfeiffer University is accountable for the actions of coaches, student-athletes, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and friends to ensure that NCAA rules and regulations are followed.
The recruitment of any prospective student-athletes is the sole responsibility of Pfeiffer University coaches. Any representatives of Pfeiffer's athletic interests (boosters) cannot be involved in the recruiting process.
Compliance with NCAA rules is crucial, as any violations may affect the eligibility of prospective student-athletes and current student-athletes. Penalties could be imposed as a result of any violations, leading to restrictions on your involvement with Pfeiffer's athletics programs.
Below is important information for boosters.
Representatives of Athletics Interest (Boosters)
A "representative of Pfeiffer's athletics interests" is an individual who is known (or who should have been known) by a member of Pfeiffer's executive or athletics administration to:
• Have participated in or to be a member of an agency or organization, including corporate entities (e.g., apparel and equipment companies), promoting Pfeiffer's intercollegiate athletics.
• Have made financial contributions to the athletics department or to an athletics booster organization of Pfeiffer's;
• Be assisting or to have been requested (by the athletics department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes;
• Be assisting or to have assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families; or
• Have been involved otherwise in promoting Pfeiffer athletics.
*Note: once an individual is identified as such a representative, the person retains that identity indefinitely. (Bylaw 13.02.11.1)
Defining a Prospective Student-Athlete (PSA):
• Any person that has started classes for the 9th grade or if Pfeiffer has provided the individual (including relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits not provided to PSAs in general prior to the 9th grade.
• PSAs remain as such until they have officially registered and enrolled in a minimum full-time program of studies and attend classes in any term of a 4 year institution's regular academic year or the individual participates in a regular squad practice or competition at a 4 year collegiate institution.
• Even after a PSA signs a National Letter of Intent (NLI) or accepts an offer of financial aid to attend Pfeiffer, they are still considered a prospect.
• This applies as well to any junior college student-athletes.
Defining "Extra Benefits"
An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a representative of athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or their relatives and friends a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Boosters are not permitted to provide enrolled student-athletes and PSA, or their relatives and friends with any "extra benefits." Examples of "extra benefits are as follows but not limited to:
• Providing cash or loans in any amount or signing/co-signing for a loan
• Giving gifts of any kind, including birthday/holiday gifts
• Any free or reduced-cost services, including entertainment or admission to professional events
• Providing use of an automobile, or rides anywhere
• Free or reduced-cost rent or housing
• Employment arrangements for a student-athlete or a prospect's family/friends
• Entertaining a prospect or their friends and families
• Payment for work not performed or at a rate above the going rate
• Payment of fees or expenses to attend camps/clinics
Permitted Actions of Boosters:
• Providing an occasional family home meal to a student-athlete or an entire team.
• This meal must take place in a home, not a restaurant and may be catered.
• Requests for these meals must be approved in advance by the compliance office.
• Employing a student-athlete under certain circumstances with prior approval from the athletics department.
• Both the student-athlete and the employer must sign a written statement prior to employment during the academic year and compensation can only be for work actually performed at a rate equal to the going rate for similar services.
• Notifying coaches about prospects in the area but may not contact the prospects.
• Attending high school or 2-year college athletic contests or events where prospects may compete, but cannot contact prospects or their relatives in any way.
• Continuing pre-existing relationships with prospects provided no recruitment takes place.
• Any questions from the prospect about Pfeiffer athletics should be directed to coaches or the athletic department.
• Conversing with a prospect via phone only if the prospect initiates the call.
• Such a call may not be prearranged by any staff member or booster.
Prohibited Actions of Boosters:
• Use the name or picture of a student-athlete to directly or indirectly advertise, recommend or promote the sale or use of a commercial product or service.
• Provide extra benefits to a student-athlete or their family.
• Provide free or reduced rate housing for a student-athlete or family.
• Student-athletes are especially not allowed to house-sit for boosters.
• Contact prospects or their families in any way (in-person, by phone, or in writing).
• This includes e-mail, message boards, or any messenger service.
• Provide PSAs or their family and friends with any extra benefits.
• Send any materials to prospects, including newspapers, media guides, posters, programs, e-mails, etc.
• Contact a PSA's school in order to evaluate a prospect.
Additional Information:
• Only coaches and athletic department staff members can be involved in the recruiting process off campus and representatives of Pfeiffer's athletic interests are prohibited from recruiting a prospective student-athlete.
• A contact is defined as any face-to-face encounter between a PSA or the prospect's parent or legal guardians and a Pfeiffer staff member or athletics representative during which time any dialogue in excess of an exchange of a greeting occurs.
• In general, all representatives of Pfeiffer athletics interest who are not employed by Pfeiffer are prohibited from contacting a PSA or the PSA's family off campus in order to encourage the PSA to participate in intercollegiate athletics at Pfeiffer University.

Richie McCaw has intimated that he desires to continue playing in New Zealand after the World Cup.
It is widely known that many All Blacks are weighing up lucrative offers to join European clubs after the global showpiece in 2011, but McCaw suggested he may not be part of the exodus.
At present playing abroad precludes New Zealanders from All Blacks selection, and McCaw was mindful of this.
'I'm having a really good think about it and I've always said enjoyment is the key,' McCaw told the Sunday Star Times.
'I loved it this year, I loved running out for an international and playing for the All Blacks, there's nothing better. So I want to keep going. I'm talking to the union about what they want from me and what I want. If we can come to an agreement I'd love to carry on because I'm enjoying this.
'I've made no secret of it that I love playing in New Zealand and my desires to play overseas have never been that great. Those desires change as you move on in your career, but you can't beat running out in front of 80,000 people at the Millennium Stadium or somewhere else and you'd be a mug to not want to do it for as long as you can.'

MEBANE — Behind what Orange coach Pat Moser is calling his team's best defensive performance of the season and two broken plays, the Panthers knocked off Eastern Alamance on Friday night in the third round of the Class 3-A state playoffs.
"That was a battle of two really good defenses," Moser said. "We had four shutouts this season and considering the level of competition here, I'd have to say that (this game) is our best defensive effort of the year."
The 14-13 outcome earned the Panthers a trip to face top-seeded Havelock, which topped Washington 57-7 last night to earn the spot in the fourth round, next week.
Though Eastern Alamance tallied 17 first downs and 291 total yards of offense, the Panthers forced four turnovers from the Eagles, including three interceptions of senior quarterback Josh Long.
The first interception of Long came on the third play of the game when he attempted a pass over the middle that bounced off the hands of his intended receiver and into the waiting arms of junior linebacker Nic Schultz.
Three plays later on third down, Orange senior quarterback Sean Motley turned a broken play into a stunning 52-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Jalen Pittman.
"It was a rollout to the left and I thought he had me at first because he grabbed me," Motley said. "Then I was just able to get off of him and was able to find my receiver down the field wide open."
Trailing by six points with 4:20 to go in the game following Eastern Alamance's only touchdown, Motley and the Panthers offense responded with two more dazzling creations on two more broken plays.
Facing third down on his own 33-yard line, Motley was forced to scramble from the pocket. Standing open and frantically waving his arms for the ball on the left sideline was Pittman. Motley, on the run, lobbed the ball up for Pittman, completing the pass for 47 yards and setting up the Panthers on the Eagles' 20-yard line.
Two plays later, Motley created a touchdown with his feet, scrambling 20 yards to the left corner of the end zone dodging three Eagles defenders.
"I looked left, looked right and nobody was open," Motley said. "Then I saw a big hole and was able to just take off."
Orange ran 52 plays in the game for 214 yards. Of those 52 plays, three of them went for 119: Motley's first touchdown pass of 52 yards and his 47-yard pass to Pittman that set up the game-winning 20-yard run.
"That was Sean Motley making a play," Moser said. "When Sean has to scramble, our receivers will break and try to get open and that's what happened on the first scoring play. Then down here at the end, it kept our drive alive when he was flushed out and our receiver made an adjustment and he found Jalen Pittman, then the last play was just a beautiful play by Sean."
Motley finished with 135 yards through the air, with 101 of those going to Pittman on three receptions.
"Sean can run," Moser said. "He's a playmaker and he's a winner and he's the leader of this team. There at the end where he scrambled out and scored, that was just all Sean Motley. That's all I can say. That's a great team and a great defense and a very good coaching staff. We did a great job."

Heartbreakers shows are typically loud affairs, but Sunday night's show in Hamburg was the anomaly.
Not sure whether it was just a quiet Sunday night, if German crowds are just that polite or if they were so in awe of finally seeing Tom and the band live, but you could have heard a pin drop in the near sold-out O2 World when the first notes of "Listen to Her Heart" burst out of the PA.
Just as the band wound down the opener, a young blonde-haired boy walked up the aisle on the front of the floor and rested his chin on the front rail, his eyes transfixed on Tom as he sang and moved around the stage.
After two hours of music, hit after hit, the boy hadn't moved an inch, but the mood in the O2 had changed dramatically. By the time the band returned to the stage for the encore, fans were on their feet, screaming out song requests.

Dow named as Head Women's Basketball Coach
July 31, 2013
MISENHEIMER, NC Pfeiffer University Vice President for Athletics/Athletic Director Bob Reasso has announced the hiring of Roy Dow as the new womens basketball head coach. Dow comes to Pfeiffer from California Lutheran University where he served as the head coach for five years and inherits a Falcons program that advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament a year ago and posted the second highest win total in program history.
Dow is no stranger to success on the sidelines. In his most recent position, Dow led the Regals to four consecutive winning seasons, back-to-back conference tournament championships and NCAA appearances, and a conference regular season title. Last season, Dows squad went 23-5, tying a school record for most wins in a season. In his five years, Dow accumulated an 81-51 record and a .614 winning percentage. He also had 12 players named to the All-Conference team and two players named to the All-West Region.
Prior to his time at California Lutheran, Dow was the head coach of the mens basketball team at California Institute of Technology for seven years. While there, he worked to improve the recruiting efforts and gained the program national media coverage. His efforts were rewarded with the critically acclaimed documentary Quantum Hoops which is a 2007 documentary that followed the team and won a Top 10 Audience Choice Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
I would like to thank the search committee for the terrific opportunity, said Dow. I am very excited and am ready to get started. I look forward to building upon the great success of a year ago.
Reasso is equally as excited to add a coach of Dows profile. We are incredibly lucky to add a coach of Roys caliber to our athletic department, said Reasso. He has great experience on all levels of the game. We have brought in an extremely knowledgeable basketball coach who will build on and continue the success of our womens basketball program.

The Southern Kings have signed lock Steven Sykes and centre Andries Strauss for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
Sykes and Strauss will make their exits at the Sharks and Cheetahs respectively. Both moves have been confirmed to keo.co.za and they will join the Kings after the Currie Cup.
The two players are the first to sign with the Eastern Cape franchise since they were awarded Super Rugby status in August. There are rumours that a few Argentine and New Zealand players are set to join the Kings in the near future.
Meanwhile, Cheetahs CEO Harold Verster believes Strauss will be one of the last players to depart from Bloemfontein this year.
They have already lost tighthead prop WP Nel (Edinburgh), No 8 Ashley Johnson (London Wasps) and lock George Earle (Scarlets) after Super Rugby, while flyhalf Sias Ebersohn (Western Force) and lock Izak van der Westhuizen (Edinburgh) will also make their moves following the domestic campaign.
'We want to build on our achievements from this year's Super Rugby,' Verster told this site. 'We have already extended most of our players' contracts, while there will be a couple of more contract extensions made over the next few weeks.
'We will also have some new players available in 2013, like [Blue Bulls] centre Johann Sadie.'

Furloughs? Or French-kissing feds?
Friday - 2/15/2013, 2:00am EST
Many, maybe most, of the politicians who created the sequestration-furlough-fiscal cliff time bomb now say it can't be allowed to go off. If it happens, say the people who designed and approved it, there will be across-the-board spending cuts that will hamper national defense, leave big holes in the borders, and put the health and safety of Americans at risk. Delay benefits to little old ladies. Oh, and plunge the nation back into recession.
Other than that...
Sequestration was designed as a political poison pill to give Congress and the administration time to work out the debt ceiling, spending cuts and ways to increase revenue. Each side thought that properly using the fear of the "S-word" would force the other to cave in. Most probably don't want it to actually happen and, if it does, they definitely don't want to be blamed for the consequences. During the less draconian government shutdown of 1995-96, Democrats won the public-relations battle. President Bill Clinton was hailed as the statesman, while House Speaker Newt Gingrich wasn't. But then as now it was largely political jockeying by two sides who didn't much care what they got so long as they won, and it hurt the other side. Things have changed...
The political climate is even more sour today than in the 90s.
Contemporary liberal/conservatives don't even pretend to get along. Or like each other. There are no Ronald Reagan-Tip O'Neill good times.
Watching the smirks and body language (from both sides) at Tuesday's State of the Union made one glad the Westminster Dog Show was a viewing alternative. Also, this time, there are a number of politicians who genuinely believe the government is way too big, way too powerful and that we would be better off with fewer federal programs, laws, foreign involvement and federal employees. They seem to be counting on the fears raised by special-interest groups (unions, contractor associations, business groups) of the dangers of sequestration and furloughs. Scaring the wits out of rank-and-file federal workers is part of the pressure tactics. Lots of feds know that one-day-per-week furloughs for 22 weeks ( which is in the Defense Department playbook) could ruin them financially. Their salary could drop 20 percent between March and October. And because the furloughs would be one day per week, few could qualify for unemployment benefits.
(Earlier this week PBS's Frontline ran a documentary, "Cliffhanger an Interactive Guide to Gridlock" that does a very good job of laying out the timeline, the changes both side made and the internal struggle for power. If you get a chance, check it out. It helps explain why we are where we are?)
But there are some people, maybe a goodly number of feds, who literally say bring it on. If this is what Congress wants, these not-so-timid civil servants say, they'd welcome working a four-day week during the spring and summer. A few would like it all at one time, a month off in summer. Like the French! Here's what we are hearing from the bring-it-on crowd:
- "I'm a federal employee and I say, 'Bring it on! I would love to have an extra day off per week, even if I pay for it. It's only temporary! In fact, I'd rather have two days off a week! These clowns don't get anything done around here anyway, so they wouldn't miss a heartbeat!! And hiking season is almost upon us..." &mdashj; Tom H., DoD Employee
- Another not-so-scared fed goes even further. "I'll take a furlough. But I want my 22 days back to back." — Signed, Burned out in Dc
- "This situation reminds me of a Walt Disney movie from my younger day. It would no longer be considered politically correct. However the main character was a rabbit (not Bugs!) who was caught and was about to become stew. Instead he kept begging the man who captured him not to throw him in the briar patch. Anything but the briar patch. Finally the dummy tossed him into the briar patch, where he was safe, thinking he had really socked it to the rabbit." — Show Me the Briar Patch

The sweetheart candy turned 147 years old this year. The candy company, NECCO, once considered adding the phrase "PUCKER UP," according to The Atlantic.
But the industrial machine had a habit of printing Ps that looked a little to much like Fs. So, yeah. That was one Sweetheart that didn't make it to market.

At the invitation of an old school friend, introverted high school student Mikado Ryuugamine, yearning for a life less ordinary, makes his way to Tokyo. His destination: Ikebukuro, a hotbed of madmen living most unusual lives. On his first day there, Mikado encounters a cast of characters so colorful, the rich hues of his rural hometown pale in comparison!
As if the naive stalker chick, the high school senior obsessed with the rather creepy object of his affections, the hikikomori genius doctor, the hedonistic information dealer, and the strongest man in all of Ikebukuro weren't enough, Mikado also chances upon a sight that leaves him rubbing his eyes and scratching his head - the Black Biker, soundlessly weaving through the streets like a figure out of an urban legend. Who is this "Headless Rider" on the jet-black metal steed? And why does it seem like Mikado's already gotten himself neck-deep in the insanity that is the norm in his new home?!

It's been a while since my husband and I went out for dinner during the week. We just didn't feel like cooking this week and wanted something casual in the River North neighborhood. We decided to try Shaw's Oyster Bar which is just around the corner from the Hampton! When we walked in, there were numerous high-top tables situated throughout the bar area and a definite buzz and feeling of excitement flowing throughout the restaurant. Overall, a great exciting first impression. We were greeted and promptly seated.
Our server approached our table within the first two minutes after we had sat down. His attire was crisp and professional – a black vest, black tie, black pants, and white shirt. His casual professionalism and overall personality made us feel welcome and excited to begin our meal. When it came time to start discussing food and drink options, he was able to answer all of our questions and gave several excellent recommendations. By the way he described the preparation and presentation of the appetizer and entrée recommendations, you could tell he had a great knowledge of the menu and that he was confident answering all of our questions.
We started with the Godzilla Maki Roll which had six generous pieces of fresh maki made with a colorful mix of smoked salmon, avocado, shrimp tempura, and unagi accompanied by a small portion of wasabi and ginger on a white rectangular dish. Very refreshing and enjoyable overall! The overall textural balance between the crunch of the shrimp tempura and the softness of the smoked salmon, unagi, and avocado was amazing. Great appetizer option. We would 100% order this again.
I ordered the Grilled Columbia River King Salmon for an entrée. The salmon filet was served atop sautéed spinach and bacon pieces and topped with a cool heirloom tomato salsa served on a large oval plate. Great sizeable dish overall. The tenderness of the salmon filet paired extremely well with the cool crispness of the heirloom tomato salsa and the saltiness of the sautéed spinach and bacon. The tomato salsa also added a great color to the dish. Great entrée selection overall!
What is dinner without dessert? Selecting which one is always such a tough call. Shaw's make this easy with the Dessert Sampler! Small taste portions of raspberry pie, chocolate cake, key lime pie, and crème brulee served with a small dollop of whipped cream on a long rectangular plate. Wow! A great dessert option overall! The raspberry pie and whipped cream were very refreshing and sweet. The chocolate cake was very rich and decadent overall. The key lime pie was very light, tart, and refreshing and the small dish of crème brulee very rich and flavorful and prepared perfectly with a crisp topping and cool smooth interior. Great dessert option!
The overall pace of the meal was excellent. We had enough time to savor each course without feeling rushed. Each dish was presented and prepared very well. Our server was very attentive throughout the meal and maintained the cleanliness and the order of the table. We can't wait to go back to Shaw's Oyster bar. This restaurant is an excellent value, the food quality and presentation is excellent overall. We really liked its fun, welcoming, and casual atmosphere.

Statin Benefits Secondary Progressive MS
No treatments can currently abate the advanced stage of the disease, known as secondary progressive MS, which gradually causes patients to become more disabled. Statins are postulated to have immunomodulatory effects that appear to be independent of their effect on cholesterol. A benefit has been suggested in early multiple sclerosis (MS) based on reduction of magnetic resonance imaging brain lesions. However, following trials have had inconsistent results.
In this multicenter, double-blind study, investigators randomized 140 participants with secondary progressive (SP) MS to 80 mg of simvastatin or placebo daily for 2 years. Participants were 18 to 65 years old, had active progression over the preceding 2 years, and had difficulties ambulating but were not wheelchair bound. Whole brain atrophy was 43% slower annually in simvastatin recipients than in placebo recipients. The simvastatin group also had small clinical improvements over placebo on the disability scale and a patient-reported MS impact scale at 24 months.
These findings show that simvastatin reduced ...
Importance of planning pregnancies with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A recent study addressed the outcomes of pregnancy in women with MS who were taking fingolimod (Gilenya). Of 66 pregnancies on the medication, 41 attempted to carry the pregnancy to term. 26 of the 41 had healthy newborns. There were, 9 miscarriages, 24 elective abortion, 4 ongoing pregnancies and 1 with an unknown outcome. Of the elective abortions, four were for fetal malformations. There were 5 cases with abnormal fetal development in the 66 pregnancies. Poor fetal outcomes were found in 14.6% of the pregnancies. This contrasts with a 3% rate of poor outcomes for most pregnancies.
This paper highlights the importance of care in planning pregnancies in MS. It is now known that women with MS have ...
Special team of volunteers at Swedish MS Center
On Thursday, April 10, 2014, Swedish hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Celebration dinner and awards ceremony at the Seattle Tennis Club. The event was to acknowledge and give thanks to all the volunteers who generously donate their time, and energy, to making Swedish a people friendly place. The event was attended by more than 220 Swedish volunteers.
Our very own Swedish MS Center registered nurse Kim Lozano, and Certified Pet Therapy Volunteer Kathy Knox, and her Certified Therapy Dog Ocho (yellow Labrador retriever) were honored as Swedish's "Featured Volunteer Program: The Leo Project." Kim created The Leo Project, better known as the Leo Pet Therapy Program to enhance the services we offer our MS Center patients and their families. The name "Leo" was selected to pay tribute to Kim's beloved dog Leo who passed away at the age of 13.
Kathy Knox and therapy dog Ocho deliver comfort and care to all people who pass through our MS Center's walls. Ocho ...
Insufficient evidence to support complementary and alternative therapies for multiple sclerosis
A guideline was recently published about the use of complementary and alternative medicine in multiple sclerosis (MS).
The guideline process involves identifying all of the scientific articles about potential therapies and evaluating them based on their scientific merits. The evaluation process follows a strict set of requirements related to the conduct of the research.
The review included a wide variety of complementary and alternative therapies that have been proposed for MS. Not surprisingly, most therapies did not have sufficient scientific data to determine whether or not they were effective. Some cannabinoid preparations (marijuana extracts) were shown to be effective, primarily for spasticity. This reflects a relatively large number of studies done with these compounds and the availability of a commercially available extract in some countries. A handful of therapies were shown to be ineffective. Most therapies had insufficient studies to determine their effectiveness.
The importance of this review is that it ...
National Stress Awareness Month-Managing stress with multiple sclerosis
April is National Stress Awareness Month so it seems appropriate to look at the impact of stress on people living with MS and to become more aware of what one can do to better manage one's reaction to the inevitable stressors in life.
There is a growing body of research that suggests there is an association between stress and an increased risk of MS exacerbations and the development of new lesions in patients with MS. A group of Dutch researchers followed 73 patients with RRMS and found that those patients who reported a major stressful event were 2.2 times more likely to have an MS exacerbation in the following four weeks. In 2006, a group of U.S. researchers followed 36 people with MS and found that after experiencing a major life stress, those MS patients were 1.6 times more likely to develop a new lesion in the next eight weeks.2 The same group of researchers reported that the MS patients with good coping strategies could reduce this risk.
The exact mechanism by which stress increases the risk of MS exacerbations and the development of new brain lesions is not entirely clear, but what is known is that stress affects the body's ability to regulate the inflammatory response, and in patients with MS and other autoimmune disorders, inflammation occurs when ...
Physical fitness associated with improved cognition in multiple sclerosis
The benefits of exercise and being physically fit is what many people strive for. However, a recent study added a new dimension to what exercise can do to enhance health. In other words, exercise did more than keep a body fit. It also made study participants think better. You may ask, why is this new information important?
Cognitive impairment is one of multiple scleroris (MS) 's most disabling features and it can affect between 22% to 60% of people living with the disease. Cognitive deficits may include problems with: slower information processing speed; memory impairment; difficulty with new learning and executive functioning. Historically, medical and rehabilitation approaches to the problem have been inconsistent in improving cognition.
The new frontier of exercise for improved cognition provides hope. This study's objective was to determine if there was an association between improvements in objective measures of physical fitness and performance on cognitive tests.
Participants were people with MS who participated in a telephone based health promotion intervention, chose to work on exercise, and who completed pre and post intervention assessments. Participants were then measured for strength, aerobic fitness, and cognition at baseline and 12 weeks later.
After controlling for variables such as age, gender, MS disease activity, MS type, etc. there was evidence suggesting that cognitive functioning changed over time based on level of fitness. Participants in the physically improved group showed improved performance on measures of executive functioning after 12 weeks of exercise. The results of this study add support to the hypothesis that change in fitness is associated with improved executive functioning in people with MS. The desired outcomes are that improved cognition correlates with better quality of life, activities of daily living, vocational endeavors, and rehabilitation measures.
Where do we go from here? Since less is known about exercise training and cognition in MS (compared to studies demonstrating aerobic and strength training significantly improving cognitive functioning in older adults and people with mild cognitive impairment), we need more studies to examine this relationship in the MS population.

My laboratory focuses on the molecular characterization of human chromosome abnormalities. Molecular methods such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping using YAC or BAC clones, microsatellite allelotyping, and sequencing analysis of SNP variants and gene mutations have been used. We are initiating high through-put chromosome-specific and genome-wide array-based analysis for mapping segmental deletions/duplication and sequencing rearrangement breakpoints. The goals of this laboratory are to identify disease-causing genes or genetic markers of diagnostic and prognostic values, and to dissect underlying molecular mechanisms.

High Point, N.C. – Conference Carolinas has announced that next year's conference champions will host the first ever NCAA play in game. Could it be Penn State, maybe Princeton…how about Harvard coming south into Conference Carolinas territory? If history repeats itself, next year Penn State would claim their 16th straight EIVA conference title then hit the road to play the Conference Carolinas tournament champion.
The NCAA recently confirmed that a Conference Carolinas team will host the first ever NCAA men's volleyball play-in game this coming April. By achieving a higher conference NCAA RPI rating than the EIVA conference, Conference Carolinas earns the right to host the first NCAA men's volleyball play-in game. That means a perennial Division I powerhouse will have to travel to a Division II conference team to play for the automatic qualifier for the men's volleyball final four championships.
For the 2014 season, an automatic qualifier will go to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) league and another automatic qualifier will go to the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) conference. The third bid is an at-large bid, while the fourth automatic qualifier goes to the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) & the Conference Carolinas play-in winner.
The NCAA has stated that the men's volleyball tournament will not be expanded to a true 8-team tournament at this time because the NCAA is in the middle of a budget cycle.
Conference Carolinas Associate Commissioner Brook Patterson stated, "We are extremely excited to help grow the sport of men's volleyball and it has really taken-off in our league. We'll have eight teams this year while adding a ninth in 2015; which means all of our men's schools will sponsor the sport. For our league to have this opportunity… it's a tremendous honor and we are looking forward to the challenge."
Conference Carolinas has been a men's volleyball pioneer as they were the first conference comprised only of NCAA DII members. The league will be just the second conference that is a full multi-sport NCAA conference and just the fourth conference on the men's volleyball national scene in the DI/DII ranks. While men's volleyball is new to the conference, the league has solid roots that date back to their formation in 1930.

Black cats have never had it easy. In fact, they have long been considered bad luck and unfairly linked to witchcraft for centuries. With it being Friday the 13th, we think it's the perfect time to put some common assumptions about black cats to the test.
Black Cats Bring Bad Luck
False. In reality the color of a cat's coat has nothing to do with good or bad luck. And just for the record, in many other cultures, a black cat is a prized pet. In places like Japan and the British Isles, they're even thought to bring their pet parents good luck!
Black Cats Are Evil
False. Sure they may jump on the kitchen counter or use your favorite chair as a scratching post. And just maybe they even try to nibble your toes while you sleep. All cats can be playful. But evil? We think not.
Black Cats Are Often Unwanted
True. Ask any shelter or rescue worker and they will tell you—black cats are the hardest to get adopted. In fact, they are only half as likely to find homes as other cats. So, what's the problem? An unfairly earned reputation? Yep.
Black Cats Make Awesome Pets!
True. Black cats may get a bad rap, but really they're just as lovable as the next furry feline. So help us turn their luck around.Share this article with your friends, and consider adopting one of the cuties currently available at the ASPCA Adoption Center!
I've had a black cat (or two) in my life since childhood, and they're nothing but amazing. My Rudy, recently departed, was my constant companion, he would follow me from room to room and sit next to me on the couch, with a paw extended or leaning against me. Always had to be touching. I have three cats now, one is black, and she, out of the three is the most affectionate, and social. This has NOTHING to do with the color of her coat, but it does prove that any crazy notions one has about a black coat being different or bad are unfounded.
We love our tuxedo kitten, Guinness. He just has bits of white on his belly and feet. He's a mess, but we love him. I've never had a cat fetch mice or beg to be picked up like this little guy. All cats deserve our love, no matter their color!
We adopted our black cat from a shelter in 2003. Ranigans has brought so much joy to our family. Our little black cat is an angel.
ive had my black cat mudley for 4 years he one of my babies ive had some bad luck but because of him no way
I have 3 Black cats. they are amazing. i love black cats they know when im upset and they come to me and try to make me feel better. Its kinda like they are people to me because i can tell them things that i cant tell peole, But they can't take the place of my very first cat. Five, she was a black cat also ahe would have been 14yrs old this year but she was killed 3yrs ago on Friday the 13. so i really hate these days. people should be loving these cats not killing them.now every year i keep all my cats inside on friday the 13 even if they arent black.
I have 2 black cats and they are both very lovable. I don't believe in the bad luck junk. All they want is unconditional love and that's what they get. Female loves giving hugs and male just plops right down when you start petting him. Wouldn't trade them in for anything they are my babies.
i have had black cats off and on my whole life and they have done nothing but love me play and bring good luck i have one now that is just to dang cute he walks like a bull dog and crys when he wants me to love on him so all the rumors abbout black cats being evil or bad luck is so false
My brother Mercy is a black cat. He is super lucky to have been rescued from the street and we are super lucky to have him as a member of our family. He has a sweet personality and we love him.
I have had three wonderful black cats in my life. Each on was a rescue and was so loving. Midnight was my first and was the sweetest thing. Trick and Treat were adopted together. Such playful boys who could not love them?!
We have two black cats, one big, silly and furry (Looks just like 'Bad Kitty' from the cartoon) with googly gold eyes, and the other is sleek, handsome, styish and speaks French (although he pretends he doesn't) with the sweetest personality ever. Both of them 'found' us and we couldn't be happier with them.

Art students with special interest in comic strips, graphic novels, and computer games graphics will find a wealth of instruction and inspiration in this new volume. A widely recognized artist in these media shows how to draw and paint fantastic beasts from literature and legend, double-headed sea monsters and serpents, satyrs, centaurs, dragons, and demons. The first step in illustrating such beasts comes with understanding basic anatomical forms of animals in nature, and then learning how to distort these shapes. Author Kev Walker also instructs on rendering reptilian skin, scales, and fur. Equally important, he offers grounding in the principles of perspective and scale, enabling students to create believable beasts that are as huge as skyscrapers or small enough to hide under a bed. Students will also find detailed information and advice on drawing techniques, watercolor and acrylic coloring techniques, and composing illustrations on their computers. This book features an extenive glossary and more than 200 color illustrations. Paperback book measures 8 1/2 in. x 11 in., 128 pages. Barron's, 2005. ISBN 0764130900
