I always held a grudge against Chacos because I couldn't understand why EVERYONE had a pair. I wasn't in love with the idea of a sandal that had such a sturdy look to it--and all those straps to mess with! Finally, I gave in when I got sick of tossing out cheaper pairs of sandals after only a month or two of use, and I'm very, very pleased with my purchase. I picked the ZX/1 because I preferred the look of the double strap, and didn't want to bother with a toe loop (firm believer in socks and sandals). Straps were easy to adjust, didn't shift when walking, and I think feel best when worn a little loose. The sandal wasn't nearly as heavy as I imagined, and I'm grateful for the sturdy sole--these are so much more versatile than any other sandal. They DO take some breaking in to feel really comfortable--the arch support and strap by my instep bothered me initially, but loosening the straps and wearing them in small doses the first few weeks helped a ton. Totally worth the wait!
I got these Chaco's for two reasons: 1) my Merrell's aren't waterproof, and 2) they don't have a toe strap. I am a longtime campaigner against toe straps, and I was overjoyed to discover that some shoes companies agree (at least with this model). I would say that they aren't the sandal for everyone. The heel cup is very high, and rubbed on mine at first. There is also a very prominent arch and the straps have to fiddled with for a while before they really settle in. Personally, I really love wearing them around, but I highly suggest trying on a few pairs and a few sizes (they don't have halfsies) before purchasing. They will not mold to your foot, so if they don't feel right, don't get 'em. Once my feet got used to the weight, I wear them around all the time in the summer heat. Couldn't ask for a better replacement!
I wear these shoes everywhere. I've worn them in New York in 40 degree weather, to my farm, to hike, after practices, and everywhere in between. They are amazingly comfortable and most of the time I never want to take them off. Bottom line… if you want to be a hipster, get some chacs and an eno and buy them off of moosejaw cause its a great site.
A few years ago, I went on a 100 mile kayak trip in Croatia, then spent a week doing touristy stuff in Spain, then went to Ireland for a week. These were the only shoes I brought and I never regretted it. The only thing that is slightly annoying is that it really does take some time to break them in. You need to get the straps perfectly adjusted to your foot, and it takes usually many adjustments in the first few weeks to get them right. Then, sometimes after you get them wet, they change. I recommend getting them perfectly adjusted, then getting them wet and walking through the sand. The sand gets wedged in the creases and holds it into place.
I just recently bought a pair of these and it took me a little while to adjust the straps, but after that, they fit great. The arch is very supportive and I don't feel bad wearing sandals that aren't bad for my feet. The only problem I had is that the one strap over the ball of my foot seems to rub, no matter how tight or loose I adjust it. But that just may be me.
Love these! I lifeguard at a lake during the summer and standing on a dock all day is killer on your feet and back. I wear my chacos and that fixes it. My chacos keep my back and feet from hurting after a day of standing. Also the super wicked tan lines.
I bought some of these sandals to wear on the approach trails for climbing. I hated lugging around my climbing shoes, flip flops and my running shoes to wear on the trail up. With these, I wore them up the trails and between climbs so I didn't have to carry that extra pair of shoes. I recently bought a new pair without the toe strap. The toe strap wasn't bad but it just bothered me and it was a hassel to get the sandal on. I like the one without the toe strap much better. I also love how i can get them extremely dirty and just wash them off with a hose. Ohh and they are extremely comfortable and they have excellent traction so they were great going up and down hills on the trail.
I do a lot of mild hikeing during the late spring and earlly fall and I dont like wearing hiking shoes so when i first say these i was like yes! i love them to death and besides just wearing them hiking i also use them as my water shoes and I even wear them to school and just to walk around. They may be expencive but they are very good quality and I think there tottaly worth it. The only problem i have with them is that they start to smell bad after a while so I just but some soap on them and warsh them with the hose and them there good.
I got these and wore them literally around the world. They are perfect for hiking, fun in the sun, or even just going to class or walking around town. plus you get a really cool tanline from them that will make the kids jealous. seriously the greatest shoes ever!
I have this product with blue straps. I love the color! The sandal is very comfortable. At first I thought the sole was quite heavy, but now I don't even notice it. They seem to form to my foot. I would wear these anywhere!

The same goes for two of his top targets in the passing game —
All three players said they're in favor of the NFL working out an agreement with the players union on a reliable way to test for HGH, providing it's safe and not too intrusive. Earlier this week the two sides discussed appropriate procedures to test players for supplemental HGH, which is a banned substance but difficult to detect.
"Whatever the NFL decides to do I'm all for it, whether HGH testing or any testing,"
The NFL notified players in an email recently to be prepared in training camp to be tested for HGH for a study used to determine a good threshold for a positive HGH test.
The Panthers opened training
Olsen believes it's good for the game.
"I don't think we want to go down the road that baseball's got themselves in, trying to play catch-up," Olsen said.
Smith, entering his 13th season in the league, is one of the smallest receivers in the league at 5-foot-9 and 189 pounds.
He said he's all for making sure the cheaters are weeded out and to help level the playing field in a game where the men who play it keep getting bigger and bigger.
"I understand making the game cleaner," Smith said. "If guys have things to hide, that's their personal problem. As for me, with the drug use in my family, I don't like needles. I don't like pills. I don't like any of those aspects. "
None of the Panthers on the current roster have had any drug-related suspensions.
Olsen said he doesn't see any reason why there shouldn't be testing in place.
However, he and Smith did express concern over the how the tests would be implemented from a practical purpose.
"You don't want someone showing up at your door with a needle to withdraw blood, so I do understand the (NFL)PA's point on that," Olsen said.
Smith said his biggest concern is how much blood would be drawn and whether it would affect a players' ability to return to the field and still give 100 percent.
"When you give blood there is a recommendation that 24 hours later you're not supposed to do stuff as a health risk," Smith said. "If taking blood is the way to make (the game) clean, there has to be some protocol or procedure that is conducive to our conditioning and how much we work out. Those are important because you can't just take someone's blood and make them go run in the heat.
"You're looking at some liabilities and health risks. That's my only issue. If you take my blood on Wednesday morning, and I'm in full pads at noon at 110-degree heat with humidity just to see if you're clean, I won't do that."
Olsen didn't say if he thinks players are using HGH, but the thought has crossed his mind.
And he'd like to see a level playing field.
"Sometimes I walk out on the field and go 'Geez, I guess I didn't get those genes the day they were giving them out,'" Olsen said. "Yeah, I would welcome (testing). I think it'd be great."

Good basic walking shoe
"This shoe meets all criteria for a good work shoe (husband is an electronic engineer so is on feet as well as at computer). Basic, goes well with jeans and work shirt, reasonably comfortable and sturdy. Husband feels a little taller in this pair than in the previous pair. Still breaking them in. They feel fine and he expects they will get more comfortable with more wear. His previous pair lasted about 3 years and was broken in so well that they felt delightful -only problem is that they were starting to come apart. I expect when his new pair reaches the comfortable "falling apart" stage that I will buy yet another pair of the same shoe. :-)"

What do you recommend as reading material to improve writing for beginners? If one recommendation is put per answer and can be voted separately a good list of resources should build up.
In Haruki Murakami's novel 1Q84, the main character is a writer. It's possible to get a pretty good idea of Murakami's writing methods just by reading the story. There are some extremely simple tips and tricks in there, and I learned a lot about writing just from reading it.
Aristotle's Poetics
Several translations are available for free online and can be purchased in bookstores.
Annie Dillard's The Writing Life
Umberto Eco's Six Walks in the Fictional Woods
bell hooks's remembered rapture
Behn & Twichell's The Practice of Poetry
Death Sentence: The Decay Of Public Language, by Don Watson is an incredibly astute and witty look at the abuses of language in modern business-speak. It's not explicitly about how to write well, but it does point out what not to do, and will help develop critical thinking about writing in general. It's also very entertaining :)
Professional Writing Skills: A Write It Well Guide Author : Natasha Terk
This book can serve your purpose. It provides a step-by-step process for planning business letters, memos, e-mail, and other business documents. It teaches how to position your message from the reader's point of view, write persuasively, include the right information, and organize the information logically,expanded sections on language, punctuation, and grammar offer busy professionals the tools they need to get their message across clearly, concisely, and professionally.
I would recommend Peter Church's book Added Value-the life stories of Indian business leaders. Amazing insight on some truly inspirational people. You should read this book not only because it was fantastically insightful and interesting in relation to the individuals but also gives the reader an incredibly helpful view of the mindset of the business leaders. The book is an excellent primer for anyone seeking to do business.
A friend of mine recommended James N. Frey's work (How to Write a Damn Good Novel, and so on). I was underwhelmed by those books, but I noticed that Frey frequently cited Lajos Egri's The Art of Dramatic Writing, which I did find very helpful.
I also recommend John Gardner's The Art of Fiction.
These are two books that have influenced my self study of the novel and narration.
Together, the two books create a sort of 3D image of fiction writing that spoke to me. Of course, there is not one, singular best book in this space. You will find one (or more) that helps you in the way you want to learn and grow.
Paul Carr is a British writer, one of the best I have read. Have a look here http://thebooksmap.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/books-for-writers-and-enterpreneurs.html

|Two New Physician Leaders
The year ahead will bring new collaboration between the medical staff and hospital leadership at All Children's. Effective January 2013, the incoming Chair of Pediatric Medicine and the Chair of Pediatric Surgery will report to the Vice Dean/Physician-in-Chief and will simultaneously have leadership roles with the hospital and the medical staff.
"This is an important milestone in our journey to become a leading pediatric academic medical center," said Jonathan Ellen, M.D., President and Physician-in-Chief. "An essential part of our pathway to excellence is giving physicians a greater voice as we build a culture of collaboration and transparency.
"Our goal is to increase physician involvement in the leadership of ACH and to enhance alignment and synergy between the hospital and medical staff as we expand the tripartite mission of clinical care, education and research."
Anthony Napolitano, M.D. will serve as the Chair of Pediatric Medicine and Paul Colombani, M.D. will serve as the Chair of Pediatric Surgery. These outstanding physician leaders were selected by a search committee that included representation from the medical staff, All Children's Specialty Physicians, the hospital, and JHU faculty.
Dr. Napolitano and Dr. Colombani will serve on the new Leadership Councils recently established at ACH as well as on additional committees to support greater integration of the physician community with the academic team and hospital management team.
They will be responsible for the professional and medical staff administrative activities of their respective department, and will work closely with the Office of Medical Education and hospital administration to enhance teaching and research programs at ACH.
"I am thrilled with the appointment of our two chairs and look forward to their leadership in the growth of clinical programs, research and education and the full integration of these three arms of our mission as we move forward on our journey to realize the envisioned future of All Children's Hospital," notes Dr. Ellen.

Michael Ondaatje at the de Young
Submitted by Anonymous on
"Coming Through Slaughter changed my life." That is the answer I received from a friend, writer and fan of Michael Ondaatje. To aspiring authors there is no greater admiration. My only experience with Ondaatje thus far had been with the film, The English Patient, based on Ondaatje's brilliant and harrowing novel of love in the midst of World War II. As is often claimed, the book was better than the movie, an Academy Award-winning Best Picture often described as a masterpiece. Hard to believe, yet Ondaatje proved me wrong. Having written memoirs, books of poetry, and novels, he has proven himself to be an exceptional and versatile writer. And always, beneath the novelist, in the foundations and soul of his writing, lies a poet.
His latest work, Divisadero, tells the story of families torn apart. By this description from guest reviewer Jhumpa Lahiri, Ondaatje ascribes his trademark of taking a story and unfolding the layers and intricacies of life to reveal its true character. "Every sign of the author's genius is here: the searing imagery, the incandescent writing, the calm probing of life's most turbulent and devastating experiences," explains Jhumpa Lahiri.

A sentence in an ad in The Daily News by Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown has triggered dialogue about the role of law enforcement.
The full-page ad published in The Daily News Feb. 2 by Brown in support of his bid for re-election shares his views on faith and the role of law enforcement, among other topics.
"Those in the Law Enforcement Profession have complete Power and Authority over You, Your Life, Your Family, Your Loved Ones, Your Rights, Your Freedom, Your future, and Everything Precious to Life," according to Brown's ad.
To Robert Lenn, the statement raised a red flag.
"It's kind of scary for someone in law enforcement to say something like that," Lenn said. "No one has complete authority like that over anyone or anything. It's scary for any law enforcement official to say that, much less the head law enforcement officer in the county."
Lenn, a 55-year-old nurse living in Jacksonville, said he acknowledges that certain laws are in place to keep citizens safe and retain order. Lenn considers himself a libertarian who values privacy and believes the sentiment in Brown's ad does not follow suit.
In a statement, Brown said his words were taken out of context, explaining that law — which he says includes lawmakers, the court system and law enforcement — covers and protects every part of a person's life.
Brown says he has "searched every imaginable thought" to find an aspect of life to which law does not apply and said he could not.
Lenn countered that what he read spelled out a clear message.
"I'm not taking it out of context," Lenn said. "Those are his own words and they are pretty basic. When they say they have complete power and authority, that means 100-percent full power."
However, Rose Ivers, who has lived in Onslow County for more than 40 years and says she's followed Brown's career since his days as Jacksonville Police Department officer said the comments, though they "gave her pause," didn't change her appreciation for the sheriff and the job he does.
"His comments didn't bother me one bit," Ivers said. "I knew he wasn't going to come into my house and take everything. I'm not sure what he meant by the statement, but I feel like we're in a safe situation. I feel our community is very safe."
Gerry Theirault of Swansboro said he liked the ad Brown released, saying he "knew what (Brown) meant" when Brown said law enforcement had "complete power and authority" over citizens.
"He has a very powerful position," Theirault said. "Police officers can stop you if they have reasonable cause ... They can ask you to get out of your car, they can handcuff you to protect themselves. They have a lot of power over your life. If you're in a dangerous situation, your life is in their hands. That's a big responsibility and a very powerful position."
Scott Himes, a former sheriff's deputy planning to run for the sheriff's office as a Democrat, said the article displayed Brown, a Republican, in a "dictatorial" light and said Onslow County citizens should be concerned about a man who said he has that kind of authority over the lives of others.
"I'm not here to blow him up, but should Onslow County fear this man? Absolutely," Himes said. "He says (he) meant something different, but that's not what the citizens took it as. When I'm elected sheriff, I will uphold the constitution, state and local laws, but I'm not going to follow you around and tell you what to do."
Hans Miller, who is running for the Republican nomination for sheriff, said he was "disappointed" in the ad's contents and disagrees with the philosophy displayed in Brown's ad on the power of law enforcement.
"It bothers me that any law enforcement officer assumes that he has that kind of power over law-abiding citizens," Miller said, calling Brown both a friend and "brother in Christ."
"I'm of the understanding that our country belongs to the people and the people elect representatives that go to Raleigh and Washington D.C. To create laws we live under. As a law enforcement officer, we enforce laws that were created by the people and their representatives."
In his statement, Brown said some people will read something into an article that isn't there or will take something out of context to make it mean whatever they want.

This can was used by The American Rocket Society (ARS) for pouring in liquid oxygen (LOX) into their experimental rockets and motors in the 1930's. The accompanying tongs were used for picking up the can that was extremely cold to the touch since it carried the super cold LOX. LOX provided oxygen for the combustion of the fuel.
The ARS was formed in 1930 in New York City. During 1932 to 1934, they attempted four launches with rudimentary rockets, two of which succeeded. But it was decided that more could be learned of rocket construction and performance by conducting static tests that were undertaken between 1935-1941. These objects were donated to the Smithsonian in 1968 by G. Edward Pendray.

Rules of the 2011 Greater Louisville Bag Tag Challenge (UPDATE FROM 2010)
The goal of the Greater Louisville Bag Tag Challenge is to bring Louisville's disc golf community closer together through friendly competition The basic rules of a Bag Tag Challenge are that there are 120 (or more) tags that are numbered sequentially from 1 to 120. Anyone with a higher tag number can challenge anyone with a lower tag number. The challenge can take place anywhere and can involve any number of tag holders. At the end of the challenge, the tags are re-assigned to the golfers with the winning score receiving the lowest number tag. All Bag Taggers and Bag Tag Info is posted online in the bulletin board at http://www.louisvillediscgolf.com.
Types of Play
The normal play is stroke play where the lowest score wins. This may change as agreed upon by the participants. If both participants agree then any type of play is available. Some options are match play, CTPs, putt off, best disc doubles, worst disc doubles, around the 9, Paper-Rock-Scissors, etc. As long as both players agree before the match begins.
In addition, there are obvious differences in talent among players in the greater Louisville area. To make it fair for all participants, handicaps can and should be used to even the scores as long as it is agreed upon prior to the match. For example, a person with #19 wants to challenge the person with #12. The person with #19 normally shoots even at Iroquois and the person with #12 normally shoots 7 under. Prior to the match, the two participants may agree to give the person with #19, 7 strokes to make the play more challenging for both players.
1. Conduct yourself within the spirit of the competition.
2. Challenges need to be accepted in order for the series to work for everyone.
3. Upon every player's bag tag purchase, a phone number and e-mail address will be required.
4. When you arrive at a course, you subject yourself to being challenged by the first person that challenges you, even if you were looking for another challenge.
5. Challenges are to be made by choosing times and courses that are reasonable.
6. The Greater Louisville Bag Tag Challenge participants must display their tag where it can be seen easily. Concealing your tag is not allowed.
7. The player with tag number 1 must defend it at least once every 14-calendar days or it is automatically exchanged with tag number 2.
8. Players not abiding by the rules are subject to discipline.
1. Tags 1-25 (red tags) can only be challenged from within 10 tag places – all tags 26+ can be challenged by anyone
2. Any tag can accept a challenge backwards if they so accept.
The winning doubles partners would receive the lowest two tag numbers, the losing partners the highest tags.
Groups (3 or more)
If more then two players want to compete in a challenge this can be done – following that the above rules are followed. Tags #1, #11, and #30 want to play one another. 30 can only challenge #1 if #1 gives the, "okay."
Refusal of Challenges
A person being challenged may refuse a challenge only under the following circumstances:
1. The person being challenged has already taken part in one challenge that day.
2. Any challenge that is less then a round (18 holes?) of golf may refuse despite not receiving any other challenges.
3. The person being challenged is leaving (must be obvious)
4. The person being challenged is already waiting for a challenge that was set up and is within the 20-minute wait window of the pre-arranged time. Past the 20 minute window, the person being challenged must accept the challenge.
5. The person being challenged is participating in a social outing that is bringing new players to the sport.
1. Players found not abiding by the rules are subject to the following penalties
• New tag issued, using the lowest tag number available
• Tag revoked and not reissued
2. Not having your tag with you may constitute refusing a challenge and could result in forfeiting your tag.
3. Two reported incidents of misconduct would result in the player forfeiting his/her tag and starting at the bottom. Two additional reports of misconduct will result in the player being eliminated from the challenge and his number put back into the "pot" to be purchased by the next new player.
4. Report incidents of misconduct (refusing challenges, cheating, etc.) privately to:
Martin Young:502-291-5422 or pm martin on the message board
1. It is $10 dollars to purchase a tag and participate in the Greater Louisville Bag Tag Challenge
Weekly Leagues
Leagues tend to be doubles format – Bag Tags may be used if you so choose, but being Doubles that will be your own personal choice.
Bag Tags may be placed in the box at the TD station along with $1 to compete for tags during a tournament. Handicaps may or may not be in play. Tags exchanged after the completion of the Tourney.
The money collected ($1) entry fees for Bag Tag events will go into the larger pool to payout winners of Bag Tag Tournies and the End of the Season Bag Tag Tournament.
Lost Tag
1. A new tag number can be issued for a fee of $10.00
1. Contest will end at an event in the fall of 2011. There will be a final tournament where all tag numbers are available to be exchanged.

Lacey, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital
When ASPCA Special Agent Ann Kelly brought hound mix puppies Cagney and Lacey to the ASPCA Animal Hospital on February 17, the two were so skinny that their bones were visible from across the room.
The dogs' owner, Gillian Irving, relinquished them to the ASPCA after Agent Kelly visited her home in the Norwood section of the Bronx. In April, Agent Kelly arrested Irving, who was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. (If convicted, Irving faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.)
Meanwhile, under the care of our veterinary professionals, the frightened dogs put on weight quickly: Cagney went from 16.4 to 27.1 pounds, and Lacey from 15.2 to 26.9, in the months leading up to Irving's arrest.
As these shy puppies gained weight, they also made new friends among ASPCA staff and learned that new people weren't so scary after all. At first, the dogs "would cower to the ground when they were removed from their kennels," recalls ASPCA Senior Behavior and Training Manager Victoria Wells. "Once the vets gave the medical okay, they were paired up with each other and more confident dogs for play sessions and walks to expose them to new people and places. They slowly began to overcome their fear."
They even made a special friend in Kim Danley, a licensed veterinary technician. When the dogs were ready to move to foster homes, Danley brought Lacey to the home she shared with her Rottweiler and ASPCA-alumnus cat, while Cagney went to another foster home.
As Danley invested lots of time in teaching Lacey that new people and places were exciting, not scary, Lacey became an irreplaceable member of the family. When Lacey was made available for adoption, Danley decided to make it official. She filled out the paperwork and renamed her Frankie.
Since then, the Danley family has moved to California, where Frankie loves running on the beach, sunbathing on her deck and taking boat rides. Danley reports that "now she's the happiest dog in the world. She and Charlie sleep curled up with each other every night. She's not afraid of a thing."
It's my personal opinion that renaming these poor animals is not a good practice. It's enough that they have to learn to trust people (learning what's expected of them, etc.) Why add the confusing burden of changing it's name?
I believe that renaming animals is good for them and the adopting person. Renaming them is part of starting a new life. Introduce the name along with their old name and soon they will recognize the new name as theirs.
What happened to the awful people that did this?
I am so touched my this story. It was so hard to hold back the tears. I hope that woman gets the full punishment. I just can't get it WHY people can be so cruel. But as I read the rest I had a smile on my face. The end reslults are so precious and that dog is so handsome and happy. Thank you for all that your organizaton does to help.
If the dog was removed from an abusive situation their name very likely has a negative connotation for the dog - Giving them a new name gets rid of the anxiety the old name more than likely invokes - Names are personal -renaming helps make the new dog a part of the family. A dog doesn't really care what he's called - - - as long as he's called with love.
There are thousands of stray dogs (and cats) that end up with new names. They thrive and flourish from their new lives not just their name.
Our cats all have several different names and over time they develop new names such as our cat Willow who now is called Poptart by my husband and Girlie by me. They learn the new names and the main thing they understand is the loving voice. Animals are highly adaptable and I think understand the playfulness of nicknames.
I wish they would expose the address of people like this peice of garbage gillian- in this situation so TRUE retrubitation might be delivered to this "person" and these (or any other) poor animals would NEVER have to worry about this EVER happening again. Of course this is just a hypothetical random thought since justice could be too blind and not smite this person with the god's furious wrath
The above poster has it right. This of this way, someone teachs a dog to sit using a certain word and the word is always accompanied by a beating. The dog learns to sit but also to expect a beating. You come along and teach the do to sit using a new word and praise and love and the dog learns to sit and expect a happy reward. The dog also still associates the old word with the abuse.
Pavlov's insight ;)

When Tafa Jefferson was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1997, the 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive tackle expected a long career in professional football. But a year later, career-ending ankle and shoulder injuries prompted a career reset.
Within a week Jefferson, who grew up in Garden Grove, had launched a nurse registry. That seemingly swift about-face was founded on values that his parents instilled in him from childhood. In turn, that first business laid the foundation for Jefferson's current company, Amada Senior Care, a Laguna Woods-based enterprise with more than 400 employees and a recently launched expansion through franchising.
The progression was purposeful, Jefferson said, leading him and his former college teammate Chad Fotheringham into one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States.
"I'm a true entrepreneur," said Jefferson, 38, who now lives in Ladera Ranch. "My father instilled that in me."
The home-care industry has exploded with the aging population, with approximately 7.6 million Americans spending $57 billion on home-care services in 2011, according to the National Association of Home Care and Hospice.
The industry's growth is expected to continue. An estimated 70 percent of people over 65 will require home-care services at some point in their lives, said Ed Teixeira of FranchiseKnowHow LLC.
MSNBC called home health care the top business to start in 2012.
But Jefferson came to the industry long before this trend was evident. His mother, Silei, was a caregiver for the elderly who taught him the great satisfaction that comes from helping others. "I remember one of her clients, Emma Simpson. When I was 8, my sister and I would leave school and ride the bus to Emma's house. She paid me a quarter to mow her grass."
Despite Jefferson's size and athletic ability, his father didn't want him playing sports. "He was a real estate entrepreneur, and he always said, 'Sports won't be around forever,'" Jefferson said. "But all my friends played sports so my mom talked Dad into letting me play. I looked at sports as a means to an end (of getting an education). I got scholarship offers and chose the University of the Pacific because it was one of the first to launch an entrepreneurship program."
Sports also taught him hard work, teamwork and productive use of his competitive nature – traits valuable in business.
Once his NFL career ended in 1998, Jefferson evaluated his career options, and his mother suggested something in the senior-care market.
"The transition wasn't that hard; I knew I was called to do something else," Jefferson said.
He went to Staples to print some resumes then headed to a nurse-registry firm that was closing.
"I walked into the kitchen with a box of doughnuts, gathered the staff around and said, 'I'm new to this business but if you trust me, I'll find you work,'" Jefferson said. "The next day, I went into hospitals and said I had a staff and could provide skilled nurses for hospitals and home caregivers. I built a really good brand."
Jefferson earned his certification as a nursing aide because he didn't want to ask his employees to do anything he wouldn't do himself. He did his share of assignments helping patients with dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Over the next decade, Jefferson noticed the companion trends of an aging population and growing demand for lower-cost home care for some health issues that didn't require hospitalization. Insurance and Medicare were cutting reimbursements, so he looked for ways to reposition his business to protect against cuts while still helping clients. He moved from skilled nurses to private-duty, personal-care attendants.
During this period, Fotheringham, who had been Jefferson's quarterback and fellow business major at the University of the Pacific, was building his own career as a sales representative at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. In the mid-2000s, he was offered a choice: move to Minneapolis or take a buyout.

GARETH DUNCAN previews the Schoolboy Derby feature match of the weekend between Maritzburg College and Affies.
Affies will travel to Pietermaritzburg this weekend, to take on College in a big encounter. The Pretoria school will be favourites as they have only suffered three defeats against the latter over the last 15 years.
Maritzburg College 1st XV head coach Ryan Strudwick admitted that they will be the underdogs heading into this clash.
'We are under no illusions. We know Affies are a very strong team.' Strudwick told keo.co.za's Schoolboy Derby. 'They've had a strong run this year and have picked up many good wins. We haven't had much success against them and we've been inconsistent this season too. But we have prepared well and will have home-ground advantage, so hopefully we can capitalise on that.'
Strudwick believes the forwards battle will be vital between the two teams.
'You can compare Affies to this year's U18 Blue Bulls Craven Week team – they play the same style and have the same strengths. And you saw what happened to the Golden Lions in the final once the Bulls got onto the front foot.
'We need to be competitive up front, get them on the back foot and put them under pressure. The breakdown battles will be vital, and we'll need to be accurate at our set-pieces.'
Maritzburg College have six players who featured at the U18 Craven and Academy Weeks, and Strudwick believes this experience will be vital. They have the availability of star fullback Jesse Kriel, who will be dangerous on attack and as a key playmaker.
Affies have a massive pack up front, with loosehead prop Pierre Schoeman and eighthman Steven Meiring set to play important roles. They also have dangerous backs that boast lots of skill and pace. Flyhalf Ryno Eksteen will be pivotal in how his outside speedsters run on Saturday.
Maritzburg College – 15 Jesse Kriel, 14 Cyle Muil, 13 Marcel Coetzee, 12 Richard Bamber, 11 Banele Ngwenya, 10 Lukas Booysen, 9 Josh Rencken, 8 Reegan Smith (c), 7 Cameron Christie, 6 Nicholas Muller, 5 Robert Kamhoot, 4 Everett Pieterse, 3 Mvelo Khumalo, 2 Vuyo Khathide, 1 Njabula Gumede.
Subs: 16 Alex Cahill, 17 Seko Buthelezi, 18 James Smith, 19 Jacques Conradie, 20 Kelvin Elder, 21 Thato Molelekoa, 22 Murray Janse van Rensburg.
Affies – 15 Constant Pretorius, 14 Marcus Kleinbooi, 13 Jurie Linde, 12 Nico Lee, 11 Andries van der Merwe, 10 Ryno Eksteen, 9 Louis Venter, 8 Steven Meiring, 7 Heinrich Viljoen, 6 Albert van Heerden, 5 Nicolas Janse van Rensburg, 4 Jean Droste, 3 WP Eloff, 2 Francois Steyn, 1 Pierre Schoeman.
Subs: 16 Cornell de Waal, 17 Xander Swart, 18 Gerhard de Beer, 19 Calvon Allison, 20 Heine Lombaard, 21 Marchant van der Heever, 22 Thys van Wyk.
The match will be broadcast on SS5 on Saturday at 5pm.

Scouting Report-I am going to start this off with all the things I love about Benn's game. He's got ideal size for an NFL wide out. He's strong and fearless, working the middle of the field like a champ. Other than Damian Williams he's the best route runner in the draft. Does a great job bluffing his routes and flipping corners. Nice tight cuts, sticks his foot in the ground and makes good breaks. He also does a really good job against the zone, reading the coverage and adjusting his route. Does well after the catch and while he doesn't have elite breakaway speed he does well enough. And now the bad news? He doesn't have very good hands. He does pretty much everything you could ask of a wide out, except catch the ball consistently.
Draft Status-A lot will depnd on how good the long term memory of the NFL scouts are. If you look back to his sophomore year, he was really good, and looked to be the kid as a junior to take his game to the next level. He just chose the next level down. I suspect in the end he'll end up near the bottom of the first round, because he looks to have enough upside to be worth the pick.
Final Analysis-I'm a skeptic. I don't buy into the theory that the quarterback play at Illinois was so bad last year that his stats fell that far. Remind me if there was a different QB there in 2008 than 2009. I think Benn has all the physical tools to be a no. 1 wideout in the NFL, except his drops too many passes, especially the very catchable balls. I suspect it's a confidence issue, and you'd like to think that can be corrected. And it probably had something to do with the fact that other teams realized that he was their only option in the passing game, and they jammed him hard at the line of scrimmage, and when he struggled to beat the chuck timing was off and passes missed. If he can get onto a team where he's able to get more off coverage, and he can see some success he has all the tools to be a really productive player. But he's got to show me.
Reminds me of: Braylon Edwards, WR New York Jets-Another ultra talented player who can't seem to find the mitts to catch the football on a consistent basis. A less talented player would have been out of the league years ago. I hope Benn doesn't follow down that same path but every time I watch him play, that's who I see.

Defeated Misty with my Charmeleon and Pikachu ftw.
Defeated Misty with my Charmeleon and Pikachu ftw.
Did some level grinding on the SS.Anne but got off b4 it departed. Got the cut tm from the sick captain. Defeated Green, no worries. Defeated LT.Surge, no worries. My Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, making all my troubles with Brock and Misty worthwhile. Spent my winnings on super potions and the likes.
I decided to switch on over to LeafGreen version since I got bored with my previous game. I started out in Pewter City right after I had defeated Brock at the Gym and earned a Boulder Badge. My team consisted of Charmeleon, Pidgey, Rattata, and Pikachu. I went to the Pokemon Center to heal my team, and after that bought some items at the local Poke Mart since I would need healing items for the next leg of my journey. I obtained the Running Shoes before leaving town, and then I stepped into Route 3. I battled some of the trainers along the way, and I leveled up my Pokemon a bit thanks to those battles. I captured a few more Pokemon in the tall grass at the base of Mt. Moon, and then I visited the local Pokemon Center in order to heal my injured Pokemon. I purchased a Magikarp from a man inside the Pokemon Center, and then I headed inside Mt. Moon. I saved there.
I'm collecting the johto (well mainly johto) pokemon I will eventually train when i finish training a parasect.
Hey! If anyone wants to play emerald together i'm restarting so please pm me if so or if you have questions thanks! Also if you wanna chat about leaf green pm me id love too!
<----Lil' Breezy
After struggling to find my way past the annoying thirsty guards and the sleeping snorlax I finally found my way through to lavenda tower. I explored the tower for a bit where I defeated green again and then made my way towards celadon. I was quick to notice that there was a lot of team rocket guys there. Anyway I found the gym and defeated erika with my amazing charizard. Now I'm currently inside the game corner.
Trying to hatch Chansey with a Bold nature is like impossible. I've hatched Chansey eggs and gone to the Rocket Hideout in the Game Corner so I can set the game to run against the direction tiles while I do homework. One week and several econ assignments later...no Bold for me! Not even a Relaxed one either...
Having a competition w/ my friend, his little bro, and my little bro. Gonna have an update on everything on here. They are all playing FR and I'm playing LG. Starters where random, teams drafted in advance.
Bro - Really hasn't had time to play, only a lv. 14 Bulbasaur, no badges
Friend - Has way to much free time, Lv. 40 Blastoise, Marowak, Jolteon, Vileplume, Lv. 25 Poliwhirl, 5 badges
Friend's bro - Really don't know how he's doing, all I know is that he has a Charmeleon, Magikarp, Kadabra, and Pidgeotto, though that easily could've changed in the past couple of hours.
Me - Finished grinding my Charmander to evolve so I can beat Brock. Also trained Pikachu to lv. 16
Literally burned my way through the team rocket hide out, with my charizard laughing in geovanis face. Revisitted the tower in lavendar town, defeated the marowak and the team rocket guys at the top of the tower. Met with mr fuigi and got the poke flute. SR for a careful snorlax, caught with just one great ball. Defeated Koga. Explored the Safari zone and managed to catch a timid Chansey without even trying. Got HM03 surf.

No updates on the other three, but as for me, I have gotten my first badge and captured a NidoranF, who is being trained now to lv. 16 so it can fight well against the trainers in Mt. Moon along w/ the rest of the team. Getting everyone to lv. 23 for the next badge.
Evolved NidoranF, then the game froze...didn't save so I'm retraining her to evolve again...
Got the team up to lv. 22 (Charmeleon, Pikachu, and Nidoqueen!!) and then battled Misty. Was able to paralyze Staryu w/ ThunderWave and raise my evasion w/ DoubleTeam, though Staryu got a hit on me before I was able to KO it. Pikachu then paralyzed Starmie before getting knocked out by it's WaterPulse. Nidoqueen came in then and used BodySlam to finish off Starmie, giving me my second badge!!
For Firered I chose Bulbasaur as my started, after doing the whole begining part, I got myself a Pidgey, I went through Veridian Forest, leveling up my pokemon. I arrived in Pewter City where my Bulbasaur vine whiped through the first gym.
Bulbasaur Level 14
-Leech Seed
-Vine Whip
Pidgey Level 10
-Sand Attack

Spoiler:- My latest challenge:
Leafgreen: Level 27 Level 24 Level 25 Level 24 3/8
Heartgold: level 21 level 21 Level 21 Level 16 3/8

Black 2 : Level 17 Level 16 Level 16 2/8 (nuzlocke)
Well, it's been a while, but here's an update on the competition along w/ my progress.
My friend (we'll call him D) is @ Cinnabar Island. His team right now is Jolteon, Blastoise, Vileplume, and Marowak all at level 43, with his Poliwrath at level 36 and his Areodactly @ level 18. I have no clue where his little brother is at in terms of the game, though I can assume that he is probably at Sliph Co. or a bit ahead of it w/ a full team of Charizard, Pidgeot, Golduck, Gyarados, Machoke/Machamp, and Kadabra/Alakazam. My brother is the farthest behind game wise, though level wise his two Pokemon are very high for only two badges. His Nidoking is level 27 while his newly evolved Venasaur is level 32. He's searching Diglett Cave in order to capture a Dugtrio before going to the SS Anne.
Finally, I am on my way to Celadon City, my team very strong for this point in the game. Both my Pikachu and Charizard are level 36, my Nidoqueen level 33. I don't have the Eevee yet, though I know I will have it in about ten minutes, along with a Raichu. Well, that's what I've been up to, I'll update once something else changes.
BTW, Rock Tunnel sucks...
No one's posted
Well, I'll at least post. I recieved my 2 days ago, my Charizard sweeping through the gym. I then derped around the the Game Corner, distracted by the slots. I then did what I was supposed to do in the Game Corner, taking on Team Rocket in their Hideout in the Game Corner basement...then I derped some more with the slots ;P. Last night I went to the Pokemon Tower to get the Pokemon Flute (thought it was more appropriate to do that at midnight, it felt right...) and finally, I woke up this morning capturing the final two members of my team, a level 23 Haunter and a level 30 Snorlax.
My brother hasn't been able to get that much playtime in, though he did capture a Dugtrio in Diglett Cave and is going to take on the SS Anne soon.
Here's my team right now w/ levels.
Charizard lv. 42, Vaporeon lv. 42, Nidoqueen lv. 36, Raichu lv. 36, Haunter lv. 23, Snorlax lv. 30
Getting all my Pokemon to level 42 then going to challenge the Fuschia gym!!
Arrived in Celadon and went straight to the Rocket hideout where I struggled with those annoying warp pads. Defeated Green with just my Charizard who is almost at level 60 now. SR for a calm Lapras which I recieved from one of the Silph workers. Defeated Geovani, taking each of his pkmn down with just one flamethrower with the exception of Nidoqueen which took two lots of flamethrower to take down. From there I went straight to Sabrina, literally skipping past all of the other trainers cos I didn't wanna face like two dozen drowzees, and took all of her pkmn down with just one flamethrower.
I just beat Misty with my Fearow and Wartortle, then I went on to take my rival, he was extremely easy. As was the nugget bridge. After beating all the trainers and capturing a few new pokemon I visited Bill and he rewarded me with a ticket to go to the S.S Anne. Now I am in Vermillion City levelling up my nidorina.
My Team
Wartortle lvl 26
Fearow lvl 26
Nidorina lvl 16
Continueing after I got my first gym, I got my running boots, I defeated the trainers in Route 3, evolving my Bulbasaur in the progress into a Ivysaur, I also catched a Nidoran (male) I healed my pokemon and went into the Mt. Moon I defeated all the trainers, and my Pidgey and Nidoran evolved into a Pidgeotto and a Nidorino respectivly. I chose the Dome Fossil I might use Kabutops in my team but I am not sure yet.. Anyway I arrived at Cerulean city, I defeated my rival and all the trainer on my way to Bill, who gave me the ticket for Ss anne. After the Bill thing, I easily took care of Misty, her water pokemon were no match for my Ivysaur.
Ivysaur Level 22

I wandered around the first level of Mt. Moon after I finished healing my Pokemon at the Pokemon Center. I battled against some Zubats and some Geodudes, but I saved my Pokeballs because I wanted to capture a Clefairy. Sadly, none appeared, and I decided to continue moving deeper into the mountain. I battled some Paras as I got to another level, and I had to exit the cave once because my Pokemon were beginning to lose steam after all those wild Pokemon and trainer battles that had taken place inside Mt. Moon. I eventually returned to the cave, and I found encountered some Team Rocket members. I battled against a few of them, and then I reached the place where the two fossils lay. I battled a Super Nerd, and I was allowed to pick one of the two fossils. I chose to keep the Dome Fossil, and then I headed towards some stairs. I arrived at Route 4 and saved.
After beating the Vermillion City Gym, I traveled to Rock Tunnel where it was a great chance to raise my Wartortle. I couldn't raise my Fearow because it has no type advantage and I could raise my Nidoqueen because it was already at level 31 and stopped obeying me and I obtained it from an in game trade. After exiting from Rock Tunnel my Wartortle had evolved into Blastoise, yay! I then traveled to Celadon quicky so I could get the next gym badge and continue to raise Nidoqueen. After I beat the gym I caught a growlithe and started to raise it.
My Team:
Blastoise: lvl 39
Fearow lvl 38
Nidoqueen lvl 37
Growlithe lvl 27
After I defeated Misty, I healed my pokemon and defeated the Team rocket who broke into a house. And got Tm28 Dig, I went on my way to Vermilion City, defeating many trainers on my way there and I let my Nidorino evolve because he didn't learn any good attack anymore after level 22, I healed my pokemon, got a Bike voucher and I defeated the trainers east from Vermillion City. I healed my pokemons again and I cleaned the St anne of trainers and got all the goodies :P My Rival was extremly easy because my team is kind of overleveled. After defeating him I got Cut from the Sick captain. After seeing the ship depart for whoknowswhere, I went through the Diglet cave to get Hm05 flash, I went back to Vermilion City and healed up my pokemon. After healing my pokemon I challenged Lt Surge, he was no challenge either once again thanks to my slightly overleveled team :P. I went back to Cerulean City to get a bike, and went to the rock tunnel, where I saved in the pokemon center

While senior guard Chatori Major inevitably dominates the box score — especially when it comes to scoring — Lejeune is far from a one-girl band.
In fact, it's exceeding doubtful the Devilpups would be 26-0 or in today's NCHSAA 1-A East Regional final at the Crown Arena in Fayetteville against River Mill Academy (27-3) were Major all that Lejeune had on the floor.
The reality is while Major is the team's undisputed maestro, the Devilpups feature a strong orchestra of players who have helped make this team an unbeaten — and perhaps unbeatable — ensemble.
"We have players that can play," first-year coach Kevin Popadines said following practice this week aboard Camp Lejeune. "As much as teams look at us as Chatori's team, and she's carried us in a lot of games this year, you look at other little things going on out on the floor and the other girls are making a lot of those things happen just by doing their part and chipping in."
Still, everything starts with Major because you don't win if you don't score, and Major is, as more than one coach has said this year, a scoring machine. She is averaging 24.7 points a game, which is impressive enough.
But consider this: In four playoff games the 5-foot-7 Major is averaging 32.2 points after a 36-point performance in a 56-47 regional semifinal win over East Columbus.
For all her scoring, however, Popadines said Major is no ball hog.
"She understands she can't win a game on her own," he said. "She has to have her teammates involved. … She's grown over the years to better understand that. I wouldn't call her selfish at all."
In fact, Major has started each of her playoff games seemingly looking more to pass than score to get her teammates into the game. That, Major said, is by design, saying "in the beginning I'm trying to dish it out to everybody."
Popadines said that is important.
"It's good that way. It's easier to get people involved early than to have to force them to be involved in the fourth quarter when they haven't been all game," he said. "I think that's a key for us. Everybody needs to feel the ball early on and get comfortable and settled in."
Major's teammates are a solid mix of varying talents that help keep opponents from saying, in effect, we'll let Major get her 30 and stop everyone else.
Alongside Major in the backcourt is sophomore Nikia Wallace, who is averaging 10.6 points and 3.2 assists. Wallace is a solid point guard with good ball skills and an improving mid-range jump shot who, if Major is being overly harassed, can handle the ball with aplomb.
"Nikia makes it so they can't be too, too heavy on Tori," Popadines said, "and we trust Nikia's decision-making. For a sophomore, she's mature beyond her years. … It's dangerous. Teams overlook her. They look at the stat sheet and they might see Nikia had eight points, but those eight points were all when they tried to take Tori away and she stepped up and did her part."
Equally important is the Devilpups' frontline, where 5-8 senior Chryssandra Tatum and 5-11 sophomore LaLa Lee are an imposing tandem, although for different reasons. Tatum is a fierce, physical presence on the boards — she leads the team with 9.63 boards a game — while Lee is almost automatic when she gets the ball down low on offense.
"Our bigs work well," Popadines said. "Chryssandra is one of most unselfish players I've ever seen. She's passed up open layups just to get her teammates involved down there. I trust her with the ball as much as anybody on the team. She's very, very smart with it. She's been our in-bounder all year and she hardly ever makes a turnover.
"And LaLa has gotten a lot better. She's got such long arms. She gives a nice target when she's down low, and she keeps the ball high and finishes. So we're a match-up a problem for teams. As long as we're confident and move the ball, we're going to be just fine."
Amber Overton, a 5-3 senior guard, usually rounds out the starting five. While unsung, her efforts don't go unnoticed by Popadines. Against East Columbus, for example, she had 6 rebounds along with a block and two points on a bucket that gave the Devilpups the lead for good late in the first half.
"She understands basketball very, very well," Popadines said. "She gets very little credit for the amount of little things she does. She sets great screens. She cuts very, very well. We've missed her under the basket a lot this year."
Sophomore Azaia Wallace also has seen some time in the starting lineup. The 5-2 sophomore usually, however, comes off the bench in the backcourt while 5-9 senior Jasmine Wright gives the Devilpups a bit of depth up front.
Who comes in first often depends on who's in foul trouble or tired — or what the Devilpups "need" on the court at the time, Popadines said. For example, with Lee sidelined with an illness, Wright logged some key minutes often the bench against East Columbus' 6-0 Lauren Jenkins in the regional semifinal.
"Jasmine's playing well," Popadines said. "So we're not taking a big step down when she comes on the floor."
But how has this seemingly seamless on-the-court mesh developed?
Often problems can crop up when a team has one big-time scorer, but the Devilpups seem for the most part to have escaped any issues that lead to what girls' coaches often to refer as "drama."
Major said each player knows her role and that the main focus has been on winning.
"We're pretty close," she said. "We love each other. We have so much fun together."
