Theron McCabe told students Friday that he remembered a time when racial equality had a long way to go in Craven County.
McCabe, a Craven County commissioner, was honored during a Black History Month program at Havelock Middle School.
"It was in the '50s. My brother and I went to a restaurant in New Bern. We had to go to the back to be served," McCabe said.
McCabe told of having different bathrooms and different water fountains for "colored and white people."
"Their water was cool. Ours was warm," McCabe said.
Havelock Middle Principal Tabari Wallace described McCabe as a dedicated and loyal servant to the citizens of Craven County.
"He always answers the phone," Wallace said. "Even though he's a politician, he always answers the phone for the person or the organization that's calling."
McCabe had a career as a New York City police officer before he returned home to become the first African-American man to serve three terms as chief of the Harlowe Volunteer Fire Department.
"God has given me a gift and I have achieved a lot in my time," said McCabe.
Also honored Friday was Gerald Johnson, a long-time Craven County School administrator and former assistant principal at Havelock Middle.
"His motto is 'I don't teach to make a living. I teach to make a life,'" Wallace said during his introduction of Johnson, whom he also described as a friend, mentor, confidant and trailblazing leader.
"My mother told me to study hard because once you got it up here," Johnson said, pointing to his head, "nobody can take it away from you."
"You are destined to be somebody," Johnson told the students gathered at the event. "Take your neighbor by the hand and say 'Neighbor, I am somebody and so are you.'"
Johnson told the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders not to waste the opportunity to obtain an education.
"There's dignity in all work, whether you are a ditch digger or a professor," he said.
Victor Taylor, a New Bern alderman, and recent recipient of the Larkins Award, one of North Carolina's highest honors, also spoke at the event.
"You have a dream. Make your dream a reality," Taylor told the students.
The words capped a 90-minute event speckled with prose, poetry and songs telling the centuries-long struggle for equality for African-Americans, from the bonds of slavery to the Emancipation Proclamation, the passage of the Civil Rights Act to the election of President Barack Obama.

VANCEBORO – This West Craven baseball team is familiar with adversity – but not huge expectations.
This season, the Eagles are expected by many to compete for the Coastal 3A Conference championship, largely due to 10 returning seniors.
"I'm excited to have all that experience back, with 10 seniors, seven of which are starters. We should be very good," West Craven coach Mike McKeel said.
"They've all been working very hard and doing morning workouts and pushing each other. I think they are ready to play for each other and play for West Craven."
The Eagles dealt with plenty of off-the-field troubles last year to last them a lifetime, but persevered through it all to make the playoffs.
In the first round, they fell to tradition-rich
West Craven returns its three leading hitters from last season in centerfielder Logan Nobles, catcher Hunter Hackney and second baseman Tyler Williams, who is moving to shortstop.
The Eagles will also be strong on the mound with Nobles, Michael Coombs, Justin Taylor and Josh Pate.
"I think we are all ready to have our best years this year as seniors," Williams said.
"For me, moving to shortstop and the other side of the field will be different, seeing the ball differently off the bat, but I'm going to play my best for my teammates and I know they will for me too."
Nobles and Hackney both committed to play baseball at the next level, but still feel they have a lot to prove.
"We have a bad taste in our mouths from losing in the first round of the playoffs last year," Hackney said.
"We want to advance further into the playoffs this season. Practice has been going a lot smoother this year and we all want to win pretty badly."
West Craven opens the season at Farmville Central Wednesday.
The Eagles have a tough non-conference schedule, and play some high-quality teams in conference.
"We play in a tough conference with South Central and D.H. Conley, and we definitely believe that we can compete for the conference title." McKeel said.
"I think the guys' main goal is getting further in the postseason. I think the biggest key for us is just to stay healthy."
Two of the Eagles' best pitchers Michael Coombs and Nobles are bouncing back from injuries.
"We have the expectations to be better, but we also expect ourselves to be better," Nobles said.
"We are just going to go into every game and every at bat and take advantage of it and make the most out of it."
Nobles is headed to Wake Tech after the high school season and Hackney will be the backstop of the future at

CONCACAF announced the complete schedule of CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals on Friday afternoon.
The LA Galaxy will open their series with two-time defending CCL champion Monterrey at The Home Depot Center on April 3 at 7 p.m. PDT before the team travels to Monterrey for the second leg at Estadio Tecnológico on April 10, which kicks off at 9 p.m. CDT local time and 7 p.m. PDT.
On the other side of the bracket, Seattle Sounders FC will host Santos Laguna in the first leg on April 2 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, WA at 7 p.m. PDT before traveling to Mexico to Torreon for the the second leg on April 9 at Estadio Corona at 7 p.m. CDT local time and 5 p.m. PDT.
CARSON, Calif. –The SuperClásico may be just days away, but the news regarding the changes at AEG and particularly, the departure of AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke by mutual agreement was big news at the LA Galaxy practice field on Friday.
Reporters spoke to Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, LA captain Robbie Keane, attacker Mike Magee as well as defenders Omar Gonzalez and Tommy Meyer on Thursday's news regarding AEG.
(On the news regarding the departure of Tim Leiweke…)
ARENA: "I love Tim Leiweke. I think that he's one of the best things to happen to me in my career so I'm going to miss Tim. I can speak for everyone in our organization and we care a lot about Tim. He's been a phenomenal person to work with, a great leader, and a real inspiration."
KEANE: "I think everybody is surprised. He's been great for this club and this league with everything that he's done for AEG. For me personally, he's the one that brought me to this club and I've got a lot to thank him for. Everybody was shocked as you can imagine, probably the same as you guys. We're going to certainly miss him, he's a great character, a great guy, and we're certainly going to miss him coming into the locker room after games and before games. His enthusiasm for the Galaxy and the Kings was exceptional. For me, to have an owner and someone who runs the organization, he was probably one of the best that I've come across to be honest with you with the way that he was passionate about [the team], the way that he looks after his players, and the way that he deals with people. For me to come over from the U.K. to bring my whole family over here, he made it so easy for me and my family and I'm forever grateful for that. He will always be a good friend to me."
MAGEE: "I'm very surprised. He's obviously a guy who is so massive to what this league has become and a guy who went to bat for us when no one else really would. It's definitely sad, we don't know all the details and we read the same stuff that you guys do, but...you just remember the times when the league was kind of going south and he was the guy that stood up for the league and obviously put a boat ton of money in our team and this league when no one else would. It's sad and hopefully he finds his way back some way."
GONZALEZ: "Devastating, the night before, he was in the locker room congratulating us on going through and he seemed really excited about it and the next day, he's gone. It happened that quickly, I think that everyone was just shocked and it is sad to see him go, but I'm sure that he'll be fine wherever he lands. He was great to me; he was great to the Galaxy and the overall league. He will definitely be missed."
MEYER: "I was surprised. He obviously meant a lot to the guys. He was close to us and had a lot passion for our team and everything L.A. He was a great and especially just being here a year, he took care of us."
(On how his departure will impact the club…)
ARENA: "Well, we won't have Tim, who was certainly a focal point of the Galaxy. We're going to miss that, but we're going to have the continued support of AEG. Nothing changes as far as we're concerned. We're never going to replace Tim Leiweke with Tim Leiweke, but having said that, I think I said this year, we're not going to replace David Beckham. We're going to have to move on, it's unfortunate, but that's what we're charged to do…He's the best. He's the best person that I've ever worked for and I think the world of Tim. I can't tell you how much of a loss it is for me personally, but that's the business that we work in."
MAGEE: "Hopefully it doesn't. But like I said, he was doing so many amazing things. He set the bar pretty high. I couldn't imagine AEG changing anything that it's been doing with us, but it makes you think twice if it'll be the same or not."
GONZALEZ: "From what I understand, nothing is changing. We're still going to be determined to be the gold standard moving forward and continue bringing in big names and to keep on winning championships. He started that movement with bringing in names, but now it's up to us to keep it going and keep that standard high. We just have to do that day in and day out."
(On whether his departure will change AEG's role in running the Galaxy...)
ARENA: "We don't believe so. We'll have the same resources; it won't be the same way as how we approached things. It can't be. No one is going to replicate Tim in terms of the way that he does business. But it doesn't mean that we can't do as well, if not better. That's our charge and we're going to have to try to move forward and do the best we can."
(On new AEG President and CEO Dan Beckerman…)
ARENA: "Dan has been a great guy and we've worked with him throughout. He's extremely bright, very supportive, a different kind of personality than Tim for sure, but obviously a competent business man and a person that works with the utmost integrity so we're very pleased to be continue to be able to work with Dan."
GONZALEZ: "He's been around for a long time. He's just always there. He's a really nice guy, a bit more reserved I think, but I think he will do a great job…I see him all the time and I'm sure that he knows what is going on."
CARSON, Calif. – Jack McBean is hoping to McBean showed why he should be in contention for minutes with a stellar right-footed goal in stoppage time of LA's 4-1 victory over Herediano.
In the third minute of stoppage, Robbie Keane was fouled setting up a free kick for Michael Stephens who caught Herediano off guard with his quick pass to McBean. The 18-year-old made his chance count as he fired his shot into from the left side of the box into the bottom right corner to seal LA's win.
The goal was McBean's first of the year, but his fourth of the competition pulling him in a three-way tie for second place among goal scorers. As he looks to earn valuable minutes in league play, McBean knew that he had to take advantage of his opportunity on Wednesday night.
"It's very important," said McBean. "We have a couple of injuries right now so I'm getting the opportunity to play a little bit and every time that I go in, I want to do something for the team and [Thursday] was a good night."
McBean was the second Galaxy Homegrown product to score a goal as Jose Villarreal's stunner in the 69th minute put LA up for good. Following the match, Villarreal admitted that he felt a sense of priding seeing two of LA's Homegrown forwards bag goals in a pivotal match.
"It was good to see the homegrown products come out and score some goals for the team," said Villarreal. "I'm happy for him."
Could McBean's performance against the Costa Ricans mean extended minutes against Chivas USA in the SuperClásico—and possibly even a start?
"Hopefully," said McBean. "Anyway that I can help the team is good for me."
CARSON, Calif. – Another must-win match against C.S. Herediano for Marcelo Sarvas and another win for a Sarvas-led team.
A year-and-three-months after leading L.D. Alajuelense past Herediano to win the Costa Rican Invierno title, Sarvas bested Herediano again as he helped the LA Galaxy to a 4-1 aggregate victory over The Florenses in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals.
Partnered alongside Juninho, Sarvas and the Galaxy midfield controlled the midfield against a cagey Herediano side that was eager to find an away goal after going down in the 18th minute. Although the score line was an unflattering for the Costa Ricans, Sarvas lauded LA's opponents, but don't expect him to get any free drinks from Herediano fans during any future to Costa Rica.
"I think Herediano had a good game today. They had a good team; they made it hard for us. They make our result seem much more important because they played hard. They have a good team. I'm happy to beat Herediano and I'm happy to win with the Galaxy that is the most important."
Now as the club looks towards a date with two-time defending CCL champion Monterrey in the semifinals, Sarvas is aiming to do what he can to lead LA to the final.
"We're in the semifinals against a Mexican team and setting a new history," said Sarvas. "Everyone wants to play and we expect good things."
CARSON, Calif. -- Yet another stellar performance is in the books for LA Galaxy Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal.
The 19-year-old bagged a stellar goal as he helped the Galaxy advance to the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals for the first time in club history with a 4-1 victory over C.S. Herediano.
For more on Villarreal's performance, read my sidebar here.
Villarreal wasn't the only young forward to score as fellow Homegrown product Jack McBean added LA's fourth goal in second half stoppage time. After a stellar performance by LA's young forwards, Galaxy captain Robbie Keane admitted that he was pleased with his young charges and their willingness to take chances towards goal.
"Of course," said Keane. "During training or when we're playing, I tell them all the time, I tell them to shoot. Every opportunity that you have in front of the goal, unless it's very plain that you can see that someone is in a better position, but if not, have a shot on goal. If you don't shoot then you don't score. You saw my goal there and probably seven times out of ten, the 'keeper makes a save, but if you don't know shoot you don't score."
During the MLS preseason media tour of New York, LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane took on his Chivas USA counterpart goalkeeper Dan Kennedy in a game of FIFA13. The results? Quite entertaining.
Check it out below....
There will be no change in ownership for the LA Galaxy as The Anschutz Company announced on Monday that it will retain ownership of Anschutz Entertainment Group and terminate any sales process. But that does not mean there will not be any change at the top.
Chairman of AEG Phillip F. Anschutz will be taking a more active role in the company. Meanwhile, AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke will be leaving the company by mutual agreement. Dan Beckerman, who has been with AEG for 15 years and has previously served as their Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer will be taking over for Leiweke.
Leiweke leaves quite the legacy in MLS as he was instrumental to helping the Galaxy acquire the likes of David Beckham and Robbie Keane.
"We appreciate the role Tim has played in the development of AEG, and thank him for the many contributions he has made to the Company. We wish him well in his new endeavors," Anschutz said in a press release.
With AEG officially off the market, Anschutz, who has been a major investor in MLS since the league's inception was quick to reiterate his commitment to the growth of his company.
"From the very beginning of the sales process, we have made it clear to our employees and partners throughout the world that unless the right buyer came forward with a transaction on acceptable terms we would not sell the Company" said Anschutz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Anschutz Company in a press release. "From the very first days of AEG, my vision has been to tie together world class real estate development structured around entertainment venues with premium sports and live entertainment content. In recent years we have developed related businesses to further promote and enhance the performance of AEG's facilities for the benefit of our partners, including our sponsors, artists, consumers and the communities in which we operate. The Company's operations will continue to be run by AEG's experienced senior executive team, most of whom have been with AEG for over a decade. We will continue to set the standards in the industries in which AEG operates, bringing our unique vision and development model to entertainment locations throughout the world."
Beckerman, who will take over for Leiweke as AEG's President and CEO offered these thoughts.
"Phil's active reengagement in the operations of the Company has brought a renewed spirit and passion to the management team's focus on AEG's next steps" Beckerman said in a statement. "The Company has a number of interesting business opportunities, and the expertise of the management team and our 26,000 employees around the world will allow us to select those prospects that best enhance the Company's performance. Priority projects going forward include the development of Farmers Field adjacent to our L.A. Live campus and the pursuit of our plan to bring the NFL back to Los Angeles, our recently announced initiative to collaborate with MGM to build a new arena in Las Vegas, the acquisition of ownership stakes and the associated refurbishment of several major global arenas in Europe and our ongoing investment in AXS.com, our ticketing and e-commerce platform, as we expand its capabilities for the benefit of our venues, partners, performers and consumer end-users."

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are through to the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals for the first time in club history and waiting for them is two-time defending CCL champion Monterrey.
Los Rayados (the pinstripes) may currently be in 7th place in the 2013 Clausura, but they pose a major test for the Galaxy with their full assortment of stars including Chilean forward Humberto Suazo as well as Mexican Internationals Sevro Meza and Jesus Zavala, among others. Monterrey has been particularly skilled in the CCL as they knocked off Real Salt Lake in the 2011 final and then Santos Laguna in 2012.
As Galaxy's focus turns to the Mexican giants, their success is not lost on head coach Bruce Arena.
"Monterrey has been the best club team in our region for a number of years now," said They're the best team, they're the team to beat, so it's going to be a very big challenge for our club."
But perhaps, Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant put it best by stating that the match is not only important for the Galaxy, but for MLS as a whole.
"It's exciting, it's something that the league is looking to get over the hump with México and Seattle did a great job of winning their last series [against Tigres]. It's the first time that ever happened so we want to continue that," said Dunivant. "This is big for our league. We really want to continue to push the envelope and win our region then start being the dominating force in this region."
CARSON, Calif. –Carlo Cudicini saw his 264 minute shutout streak snapped, but the LA Galaxy's Italian goalkeeper was impressed by LA's defensive play in their 4-1 victory over Herediano to seal a berth into the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals.
Cudicini made just two saves on the night, but his first was vitally important as he swatted an Ismael Gomez free kick away in the eighth minute of play to keep the tie level. Just ten minutes later, Omar Gonzalez nodded in a Juninho corner and LA never looked back from there to seal the 4-1 victory.
Cudicini will look to extend LA's shutout streak in MLS play—which of course, stands at 90 minutes—during Sunday's SuperClásico against Chivas USA.
Below Cudicini discusses his partnership with the Galaxy back four…
(On his chemistry with the back four…)
CUDICINI: "We're working hard during the week to try and improve it. The more we play together, the more hopefully we can get results. I think we're doing all right, we're not conceding much, which is good. In front of me I have excellent players."
(On the partnership of Omar Gonzalez and Leonardo…)
CUDICINI: "They are doing a very good job. They're very concentrated, good personalities and that helps on the pitch. To be fair, whoever plays in front me, whether A.J. [DeLaGarza] or Omar, they're very good players. They're young but they have experience, they can read the game well. It's good."
(On his vocal nature…)
CUDICINI: "It's not just one thing; I try to keep them concentrated during the game. Especially when you're winning two-, three-nil your concentration tends to go a little bit. I just want to keep them on their toes. Mainly as a goalie want to try to have a good line in front of you, keep the defense compact, just try to help them as much as I can from behind. Which you hope is what they do it when you need help."
(On his adjustment to the Galaxy…)
CUDICINI: "I've said before, it's not a short process. It takes time, games, and training sessions. We're just at the beginning, and hopefully it will be even better in the future. We cannot think that because we are a good team, things will just come to us. We need to work hard. As you can see today, winning easily three nil, we just switched off for a second and we concede a goal. We always want to keep 100 percent concentration."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy became the fourth MLS team to advance to the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Costa Rican side C.S. Herediano on Wednesday evening.
My Three Points to the match can be found here.
A few notes:
*LA will take on Monterrey with the dates for the two-legged series still to be determined. What we do know is this: the first leg will take place at The Home Depot Center between April 2 and April 4 while the second leg will be at Monterrey's Estadio Tecnológico between April 9 and April 11.
*Attendance for the game was 8,284. The attendance was capped at 12,500 for the match due to the stadium's agreement with CSU-Dominguez Hills. It is worth mentioning that CSUDH will be on Spring Recess during the potential first leg dates, according to their school calendar, so no caps will be necessary.
*Jack McBean now has four goals in the competition and is tied for second among leading goalscorers.
*Elias Aguilar snapped the Galaxy's shutout streak at 264 minutes in all competitions.

There is only one thing worse in this world than breaking a leg, that is breaking two of them! For many years I used to pride myself in the fact that I made it through 35 years of my life without breaking a bone – I made it through school, I made it through sports and I made it through 4 years riding a motorbike. Nearly everyone I know has either broken an arm or leg at some point in their lives but I somehow managed to escape right throughout.
In 1984 I spent some time in Switzerland on the annual school skiing trip. Every year the school would either head off to some exotic destination in the Alps and every year someone would end with a broken bone. I even escaped that – I was very lucky though as I did have a really bad fall the one year but somehow I escaped without any major, or long lasting, damage!
So, where did it all go wrong? Well, as hard as it to believe I had a car accident around 2 months ago. It was really unfortunate and I guess I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time but it happened and I ended up with TWO BROKEN LEGS! Some may say this is justice for all my close escapes earlier in my life but I think it really sucks and none deserves to ever have to go through this!
Breaking bones in your body is always really unpleasant but normally you are able to carry on with life as normal (to a certain degree) but when you break both your legs you are really stuffed. You can't walk, can't drive – can't actually do anything. It is just a matter of taking it easy at home and allowing time to do the healing.
Seeing as I am fairly stuck in this predicament I thought it would be the perfect time to do a few of the things I have always wanted to do but never seemed to find the time. I have always wanted to start a blog (which you are reading right now!) – I have always wanted to read the full Lord of the Rings trilogy and I have always thought about spending a little more time gardening.
The one thing I will really miss is my golf. As an avid golfer the last you need is two broken legs! Although I can't play for quite some time I guess it won't hurt to have a break and spend a little more time with the children. I am more concerned about where my handicap will end up once I finally get back out onto the course. I have worked really hard to get my swing into some form of consistency and it may well be that it takes a few months to get everything going again.
I hope you will follow my journey, if you are even slightly bothered, although this blog will be more of a personal diary for me as I do not expect to target any specific audience. I will update with the odd interesting thing that crosses my path and I do plant to upload some images of my broken legs!

The Present: Review of Surgical Treatment of Common Spine Problems – Who Makes a Good Candidate for Surgery
September 30, 2005
I am an orthopedic spine surgeon who specializes in complex spinal surgery. I perform operations for scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis in adults and children. I also deal with fractures, infections, tumors, and patients who have had prior failed spine surgery. Over my more than 25 years of practice I have learned that only identifiable structural problems with matching symptoms respond to surgery. Structured rehabilitation adds tremendous value to spine care and can often help patients completely avoid surgical intervention. I have been instrumental in assembling a strong team with a wide depth of experience to minimize your pain and maximize your function.Personal Interests
In the process of working with my patients who have chronic pain, I have discovered that stress is a significant factor which aggravates pain. I have been active in developing stress management strategies to present both in and out of my practice. My hobbies include snow skiing, golf, weight training, bird watching, and attempting to learn Italian.Medical School

Happy Holidays - Not
I will never forget my first holiday season as an internal medicine resident in Spokane, WA. I learned that the holidays are a nightmare for the medicine service, especially the GI service. Many people don't take their medication during the holidays. The GI service is the worst in that patients with liver disease often drink more and develop major bleeding in their gut. People are depressed and the stress of the holidays puts them over the edge.
We had a resident's clinic once a week. One of my favorite patients was an 80 year-old gentleman who was as nice of a person as you could meet. He had some moderate lung disease but otherwise was fairly healthy. He was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Eve with respiratory failure. It did not make sense to any of us, as his lung disease was not that severe. We had a whole team working intensely to solve the puzzle. It did not matter. He died two days later. During the course of the hospitalization I found out that his son who lived in Seattle had not invited him over for Christmas and he had become despondent. I have since learned that the will to die is as strong as the will to live.
My descent into loneliness
I could not figure this increase in illness and depression over the holidays for many years – until I descended into my own anxiety-driven depression and chronic pain. There were many ...

This is the season when time seems to speed up. Already, we're thinking about Thanksgiving — and that means the December holidays aren't far behind. With so much looming on the horizon, taking care of things ahead of time is a smart and sensible way to go.
For big holiday meals, start planning by deciding on what will be the center attraction: a traditional turkey or roast? Perhaps a ham? Once that's nailed down, you can start thinking about side dishes. Here are some tips for figuring out how to offer up a nice assortment of menu items to round out the meal. The best part: You can do this all ahead of time so you won't be totally stressed out when the holidays arrive.
Color: People eat with their eyes as well as their mouths, so an attractive array of colorful dishes will make any dining table or buffet look more enticing. Foods with different colors tend to have different nutritional benefits, so it's a great way to make sure you're serving a well-balanced assortment of foods.
Variety: To accommodate all sorts of palate, you'll want some dishes that are simple, some that have more assertive seasonings, some that are starch-based and some that are vegetable-focused.
Temperature: Serving some dishes that don't need heating frees up not only the cook but also valuable oven and stove space. And don't forget about the slow cooker and the microwave. They can really come in handy when you can't spare another burner.
Taste: Create a menu with complementary flavors. If your entrée has Mediterranean seasonings, for example, avoid side dishes with intense Asian or Indian flavors. That doesn't mean you need to use the same seasonings in every dish. Just make sure that intense flavors don't compete — and that everything works well on the same plate.
Preparation: Assemble as many dishes as possible before your guests arrive. Have a plan so that you know which dishes will be served on which platters and which need to be heated in the oven or on the stove (and make notes about the timing for each, so everything is done at the same time – or thereabouts). And prepare your garnishes in advance: chop parsley or grate cheese so you don't have any last-minute scrambles to get everything on the table.
To get you inspired, here are seven side dishes that you can make ahead of time and that would be welcome at any holiday meal.

Physicians and administrators from 32 hospitals met with students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine during Hospital Day at the Harvest Center in Bradenton, Fla.
The annual event gives students at LECOM's Bradenton campus an opportunity to meet with hospital representatives, ask questions and get information about clinical rotation, residency and fellowship opportunities.
|Justin Federico, DO ('08) speaks with Vivek Kumar (OMS-II) about residency opportunities during Hospital Day.
Students gathered around LECOM alumni Justin Federico, DO ('08) and Estela Thano, DO ('10) to hear about residency programs at the University of Florida's Shands Jacksonville (Fla.) Medical Center, where Federico is the chief resident.
There were plenty of familiar faces as LECOM's mission to keep physicians in Florida is paying big dividends. Representing Northside Hospital (Largo, FL) were Holly Vicars, DO ('10), Claire Zelinskas, DO ('11) and Rebecca Bertsch, DO ('10). Rebecca Workman, DO ('11) is in the first class of residents at Manatee Memorial Hospital and Sasha Noe, DO ('09), Josef Fields, DO ('11) and Emily Essert, DO ('10) represented St. Petersburg General Hospital. Cathleen McGonigle, DO ('01) spoke to students about UPMC McKeesport.
Hospitals from 10 states were represented, including Millcreek Community Hospital in Erie, Pa.
"This is an excellent chance not only to learn about residency opportunities, but to learn about what we should be looking for during our upcoming third-year clinical rotations," said Sterling Haring (OMS-II). "The alumni have been a big help. It's great to hear from those who know what we're going through and can give helpful advice."

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday announced it will retain the current Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), turning down requests for a waiver due to high corn prices. As corn prices spiked in the face of this summer's drought, livestock and food organizations, and some state governors, petitioned the EPA to temporarily suspend the RFS, which currently mandates that fuel companies use 13.2 billion gallons of biofuel this year, with most of that being ethanol produced from corn. For 2013, the biofuel target expands to 13.8 billion gallons.RFS opponents argue for flexibility in the mandate, allowing less ethanol production in years of tight supplies, while proponents believe the RFS is a key tool for shifting the country toward clean, renewable and domestic energy.

The cave is situated near the castle, precisely 300 m in eastern direction. The legend says that the cave was the shelter of the martyr and saint Socerb from Trieste, who lived in 3rd century.
The cave is called Holly cave because it contains a natural stone altar, and it is the unique underground church in Slovenia. Before the 2nd world war, on the 24 May the cave was the destination of different pilgrims from Istria and Čičerija.

WILLIAMSON — USDA Rural Development State Director Bobby Lewis joined with local leaders on Thursday morning in Mingo County to celebrate several recent funding awards.
Mr. Lewis began the day with a stop at the Beech Creek Volunteer Fire Department, where he presented officials with a certificate. Last month, USDA Rural Development approved a Community Facilities Grant of $8,000 for the fire department. These funds are being combined with funds committed to the project by the fire department and will be used to support an electrical upgrade and and upgrade to the HVAC system at the fire hall. This facility also serves as a shelter and is where local residents come for assistance in an emergency.
Mr. Lewis also visited the City of Williamson's Fire and Police Departments. In July 2013, the USDA Rural Development approved a Community Facilities Grant of $5,000 for the fire department. Funds will be used to assist in the purchase of radio communications repeater equipment that will allow the fire department to meet the new FCC guidelines. Rural Development funds are being combined with funding from the fire department in support of this project. Mr. Lewis presented a certificate to Fire Chief Jerry recognizing this funding award.
The visit to Mingo County concluded with a stop at the Williamson Police Department. Mr. Lewis presented Police Chief Barry Blair with a certificate recognizing their recent funding award. In August 2013, USDA Rural Development approved a grant of $17,000. Funds are begin combined with funding from the police department to support the purchase of two vehicles. One vehicle will be used as a ruiser with complete emergency lighting and siren package. The other vehicle will be a Ford Explorer 4 x 4. This vehicle will be used in inclement weather and to pull their DUI checkpoint trailer.
USDA Rural Development State Director Bobby Lewis said, "We are very excited to be a part of these very important projects for the Beech Creek Volunteer Fire Department and the City of Williamson." He went on to say, "Today we celebrate not only these funding awards, but also the hard work and determination of everyone associated with these organizations and the residents of these communities," he added, "In Fiscal Year 2012, USDA Rural Development invested more than $387 million to improve housing conditions, build and improve infrastructure and create and retain jobs in rural communities across West Virginia. It's projects like these that bring our agency one step closer to our goal of improving the quality of life for urual residents across the state."
Funds for these projects were provided through USDA Rural Development's Comunity Facilities Program. This program provides funds for fire and rescue, public safety and first responders. The program has financed new fire trucks, ambulances, modern communications centers, fire stations, and euipment buildings. In addition, the program has financed a wide variety of other projects to improve the quality of life in rural communities, including hospitals, schools, jails, child and adult day care and public buildings.

Rated 4 out of 5�by JOEY57 Good Compression But With One Problem These Under Armour shorts are great for compression but they are somewhat tight around the legs. If you have very muscular legs you might want to go up a size. You might give up a little compression but at least you will feel more comfortable. June 9, 2014

Baseball Uses 12-Hit Afternoon and Holds Off St. Andrews for 7-6 Victory over Knights
February 28, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University picked up a 3-for-4 afternoon at the plate from Cole McGraw (Claremont, NC) and needed all three of his RBI to register a 7-6 victory over St. Andrews in baseball action on Thursday afternoon. The win sends the Falcons to 3-12 overall while dropping the Knights to 9-2.
Both teams would start their back-and-forth scoring with the Knights first run in the second on a Tyler Jordan (Statesville, NC) RBI-single to left. Pfeiffer jumped on the board in the home half of the third scoring two on a McGraw two-out single to right. Pfeiffer tack on another run in the fourth on a Daniel Furr (Fayetteville, NC) sacrifice-fly before St. Andrews cut it to one on a leadoff homer by Ryan Harrold (North Wilkesboro, NC) in the sixth.
Pfeiffer would get two back a half-inning later on an Izzy Perez (Miami, FL) two-run blast to center before the Knights plated two in the seventh on three-straight doubles with RBI going to Jordan and Michael Luing (Panama City, FL). The Falcons final two runs came around in their seventh as Jon Gray (Granite Falls, NC) and McGraw singled in key insurance runs before the Knights finish with a run in the eighth and ninth for the final 7-6 margin.
Behind McGraws three-hit day, Gray, Perez and Kyle Hackney (Pittsboro, NC) would each record a pair of hits as Pfeiffer belted out 12 in the win. Jordan would lead the Knights offensively with two hits and two RBI. Josh Branch picked up the win for the Falcons with six innings of work allowing four runs on seven hits with a half-dozen strikeouts. Jeff Barkley would grab the save with a ninth inning of work allowing the one run on one hit. Dylan Norris (Boone, NC) helped keep the Falcons ahead with two innings of work in the seventh and eighth allowing one run on one hit with three strikeouts.
Pfeiffer will get back into Conference Carolinas play on Friday and Saturday traveling to Erskine for a three-game weekend set. Fridays opener will begin at 2:30 p.m.

Rachel Biggerstaff (22:38), April Hinson (24:21) and Nina Ubabuike (24:24) rounded out team scoring for the Lady Falcons.
For the men, Will Oliver again led the way with a time of 27:15 to finish 34th overall. Josh Roberts followed with an even time of 28 minutes in 48th.

Pfeiffer will now prepare for the NCAA II Regional Meet on November 5th back at McAlpine Park hosted by Queens.

You know it's true: Senior dogs are the best. As much as we can't resist puppies, there is something about an old pooch that really makes our hearts sing. In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, we're counting down the top five reasons why old dogs rock.
1. What you see is what you get. Older dogs are open books—from the start, you'll know important things like their full-grown size, personality and grooming requirements.
2. Seniors are super-loving. Adopted dogs already in their golden years are devoted and grateful. They create an instant bond that cannot be topped!
3. They settle in quickly. Older dogs have been around the block and already learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack. They'll be part of the family in no time!
4. Seniors enjoy easy livin'. Couch potato, know thyself. Consider adopting a laid-back canine retiree rather than a high-energy young dog who needs constant monitoring.
5. They're CUTE! Need we say more?
Did you adopt a senior dog? Tell us about your elder states-pooch in the comments below.
I adopted a 16 year old Minpin named Petey last year from a couple taking him to the shelter because they didn't have time for him anymore. It was the best decision I never made!! He is deaf, partially blind, arthritic, hunch-backed, and in the beginning stages of congestive heart failure but he is the greatest little man. I don't know how he gets up outa his little bed every day but he does. I would trade in all 5 of my other dogs for 5 more Peteys. :)
We adopted/rescued a 13yr. Old maltese/chihauha mix who was in bad shape. Deaf,blind,matted,rotted teeth, toes curled under and borderline kidney failure. After she was all cleaned up she was the most gratful,devoted dog we ever had. Our kids loved her and she was full of pep. She went everywhefe with our family. She only lived a year and a half but we know that was the happiest time of her life and she died happy! It was a very extra sad day for my whole family! I have a 2 other purebred dogs that we purchased but we said from now on it will always be a recued older dog! They are the best! We miss our little dog and one day we will adopt another older shelter dog.
Older dogs do indeed rock! I adopted Joey at the tender age of 12. He lived in a cage for the first 12 years of his life. When I got him, he was deaf and had cancer. He joined my pack of 5 and settled in very nicely. He only had 10 months to live, but he was pampered until the end. A very loving little boy. Mitzi was 10 when she joined my family when her elderly owner died. The same with Parker. He was 9. Casey was thrown out of his house to make room for a new puppy. He was perhaps one of the sweetest and silliest of all my dogs. Pia was 6 when her family tossed her out like a bag of garbage. She lived for another 8 years with me and was so sassy and sweet that I miss her to this day. I don't have dogs in my family now, and I miss them terribly. I do however, have 6 fantastic cats that were strays or ferals that I adopted.Please adopt older dogs and cats.
I'm like everyone else, puppies are so cute but there is something very special about older dogs. I have adopted several older dogs and they are so sweet. When you adopt an older dog you don't know how many years you will have to share with them, but there is great satisfaction in the love and devotion they share with you, however long you share your lives together.
I just want to thank all these kind people for giving the older dogs loving homes. I lost my old dog 3 years ago and I have never felt such grief. He was a shelter dog on death row when I adopted him. We had 11 years together and I've never had a better companion.
I couldn't agree more. I managed at a dog shelter for a period and i came to really love the old dogs out of that experience. they were attentive, smart, and easy to communicate with. they had been around long enough to get human body language. good sense of humor too on many of the old guys. you can teach old dogs plenty of new tricks. i will never adopt anything but older dogs. puppies are really overrated.
We adopted Rosie from the Arkansas Valley ASPCA in Colorado when she was 10 years old. She is the sweetest most loving dog we have ever owned. She is now 14, still going strong, and she thinks she is 2! She plays with and throws around a floppy toy every day, and she loves to go for walks every day. We have happily provided her with her "retirement home" and she has returned our love 10 fold!
We adopted a 13 year old dog and a 10 year old dog and they have been absolytely marvelous! Unfortunately the 13 year old only lived for about 2 years but we enjoyed her enormously and she had a great bag of tricks! The 10 year old is now 13--a very loving and well-behaved young lady. We couldn't ask for a better friend.
i became the proud owner of 'piglette' (formely bella) when she was 12 years old. her former owner just got tired of her and wanted her gone - sigh. she is a cross of a j.r. / chih. and although i am partial to larger dogs - she has been nothing more than a snuggle bug and has a non-asssuming character; just a sweet heart. today, she is 16 yrs old, deaf and slowly going blind but i cherish all the times we have together. she's an amazing dog!!!
Because their wise cute looks that get them anything they wish. Aren't scared to learn new tricks and such a friend that hard to let go of. xx :))

- Click the "Create new" button.
- Configure your settings on the left. Your username should be added automatically.
- Click the blue "Create widget" button. Twitter should create the code for you in the bottom right. It should look similar to this:
Tweets by @TwitterName
- Create a page in the MediaWiki namespace named "TwitterWidget". To do this, visit Special:CreatePage on your wikia, and use "MediaWiki:TwitterWidget" as the pagename.
- Copy and paste the code Twitter created for you into this page and publish the change.
- Next, visit the page in which you want to display the Twitter feed (typically the Main Page of your wikia) and add following code:
- And voilà, the Twitter widget should now appear once the page is saved.
- The Twitter box can be customized, but the customization is limited. Within Twitter's widget setup, you can change the height, theme colors, and link colors. The rest would have to be changed via local CSS on the wikia.
- Twitter's widget creator doesn't honor the width value on the left when creating the code. If you wish to add a width or height value, you can do so by adding it to the link manually like:
Tweets by @TwitterName

widthparameter can be added to change the feed's width from the default value of 300 pixels.
- Facebook documentation listing other options (choose XFBML code)
The Facepile will display the Facebook profile photos of people who have connected with your wikia via likes, etc. You should use the
href parameter to specify your community's URL.
<fb:facepile href="http://community.wikia.com"></fb:facepile>
If your wikia has its own Facebook page, you can also use the
href parameter to display the Facepile for your Facebook page
<fb:facepile href="http://www.facebook.com/wikia"></fb:facepile>
Like Box
The Like Box is a special version of the Like Button that allows users to like your wikia's Facebook page (if you have created one). Use the

stream="true" to include your posts in the box.
<fb:like-box href="https://www.facebook.com/wikia" stream="true"/>
Follow Button
The Follow button allows users to subscribe to the public updates of your wikia's Facebook page (if you have created one). Use the
href parameter to link the widget to your wikia's Facebook page.
<fb:follow href="https://www.facebook.com/wikia"></fb:follow>
Best practices
- The Twilight Wiki has a box on the top right of their wikia, and with nearly 3000 likes it has been a big success! They share photos of their favorite characters, invite each other to events and have endless discussions about who's better, Edward or Jacob!
- The Sims Wiki also has a very active Facebook community, with nearly 1000 likes. Like the Twilight Wiki, the box is on the top right of the page so the box will be the first thing new visitors see. The Sims wikia actively uses their Facebook page to share news articles, but also informs their users of important wikia discussions.
I still can't work it out!
If you are having problems setting up any of the Twitter or Facebook boxes, feel free to ask the community for help on our Forum, or contact Wikia staff.

TEMPE, Ariz.—Sophomore guard Reggie Johnson scored a career high 24 points to lead all scorers, but the Miami University men's basketball team (0-2) suffered a 90-54 loss at Arizona State (2-0) on Tuesday evening.
It was the second straight game Johnson eclipsed the 20-point mark and the second consecutive game he set a career high in scoring. Johnson also tied a career high with five steals against the Sun Devils.
The RedHawks took a quick 9-5 lead by the 15:51 mark, spurred by five points from senior center Blake McLimans and four points Johnson. The Sun Devils rattled off six straight points to come back and take an 11-9 lead at 13:51. A pair of senior forward Will Felder free throws at 13:38 knotted the game 11-11, but ASU went on a 20-2 run over the next six minutes to take a 31-13 lead. The Sun Devils outscored the RedHawks 10-5 over the remaining minutes of the opening half to carry a 41-18 lead into the intermission.
Two free throws by freshman guard Jaryd Eustace and seven straight points from Johnson to open the second half helped Miami cut its deficit to 17 points with 16:19 to play, 44-27. Ten straight Sun Devil points, however, extended ASU's lead to 27 points with 13:03 to play and they never looked back.
In addition to Johnson's 24 points, McLimans added 15 points and three blocked shots.
ASU had four players score in double figures, led by Jahii Carson and Jermaine Marshall, who scored 18 points apiece.
Miami returns to action next week when the RedHawks conclude a three-game road stretch to start the season at local foe Xavier on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Game time is scheduled for 8 p.m.

What's the best for a PC life: Sleep, hibernate, or shutdown?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 6/8/12 4:26 PM
What's the best for a PC life: Sleep, hibernate, or shutdown?
I have two Dell desktop computers, one for me and the other for my
wife. We use our computers for a few hours daily, and I'm not sure
what is best to use. In the Windows Start menu, shall I "shutdown"
every night, use "sleep", or the "hibernate" option? What are the
differences between sleep and hibernate options? When it sleeps or
hibernates, does the hard disk still spin at 7,000 RPMs??? Will it make a
difference in hard-drive use and life expectancy in the PC depending
on which method I use? In other words, if I put the computer to sleep
or hibernate every night, instead of shutting it down, am I shortening
its life? Please note, my only concern is shortening equipment life, not
power consumption. Thanks!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love it!
Customizing the fonts was kind of aggravating and it took me a little while to figure it out. But once I did, the ordering process went smoothly. I got my wedding invitations in less than two weeks and I used standard shipping. I am in love with the finished product! Absolutely perfect!!
I wanted to include the fire fighter theme in my wedding because my man has been a volunteer for 22 years .. It was hard finding a place that had anything until I came across this website .. I ordered save the date magnets and my invite cards with RSVP .. I loved it all .. The only thing I wish is the save the date magnet were a little bigger ..
Absolutely love our save the date magnets. Loved that we could personalize the colors! Fits perfect with our theme. Quick delivery and very nice packaging ! I wil be ordering my invitations to match :) thank you!!!
Firefighter Wedding Invitations
These invitations are beautiful and the customer service from Magnet Street was great. They are very helpful and willing to work with you and are very quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend Magnet Street!
My fiance and I are getting married on a cruise. We were set on a different magnet theme, until we saw this design. Everything on the magnet can be customized. Buying this magnet was the only request my fiance had since our wedding plans began. We are so happy with the product and know all our guest will love them too!!!!

Just a note to announce my support for Judy Friedman for re-election seat No. 3 of the TCPUD Board of Directors, and ask you to consider giving her your vote too.
Knowing her like I have for 30-plus years, I know what a great person she is and how hard she works at whatever project she is involved in. For the last 3 years she has worked diligently on the board of directors of the TCPUD and is currently serving as President. I know the time and dedication she has put in to the position.
Please consider your vote for Judy and let's continue to move forward to improve our infrastructure, have fiscal oversight and responsibility and improve our recreational facilities.
Judy will continue to keep an open mind while listening to the needs and desires of the community. In an effort to reduce the visual and environmental clutter normally put upon us this time of year, Judy has made a commitment not be use the large obtrusive yard signs for her campaign.
I for one appreciate that and am happy to contribute to her campaign with the more personal recommendation and request for your vote.
