Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is a four-year program that offers a broad foundation in liberal arts and science and an extensive range of nursing courses. Graduates are eligible to take the national examination for licensure (NCLEX) as registered nurses. A four-year education helps nurses navigate the increasingly complex medical field. In its Future of Nursing Report, the Institute of Medicine recommends that 80 percent of all nurses have, at minimum, a baccalaureate degree by 2020. Hospitals applying for Magnet status employ a larger proportion of nurses with a B.S. degree than without. Many institutions also have higher pay grades for bachelor's-prepared nurses. A four-year degree also is the foundation for the advanced education needed to become a nurse educator, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse administrator, or nurse researcher.

Sowing the Seeds of ContentMatt Geraghty January 19, 2011
No tears or fears if you plan your post launch right. (Image via h.koppdelaney)
The breakdown: Congratulations. You've launched your brand new site and are getting accolades galore. But hey, not so fast. What's your post launch content planning strategy? How will you ensure that customers are compelled to come back and engage with your brand? Arguably you've really got your work cut out for you now. Read on to see what some of our fine content strategist say you need to keep in mind going forward.
Cameron Siewert, Content Strategist
This may sound obvious to us, but to a lot of clients post launch planning is surprisingly low on the priority list. The determination of who's responsible for keeping an eye on content post-launch—maintaining an editorial calendar, planning and executing updates, enforcing style guidelines, and governing the workflow on an ongoing basis—can't be an afterthought. It's not an extra task you can just figure out after launch and then pass around to whomever happens to have some time. It's a critical issue that needs discussion and planning from the very start of a project, and it needs ongoing advocacy to maintain high visibility throughout. In other words, it's an important job. No, you can't just wing it!
Elizabeth Bennett, Senior Content Strategist
As my team prepares to launch an upgraded corporate website with a longstanding client, I have fresh content on the brain: How will we navigate the organization to consistently create, review, edit and publish fresh relevant content in a timely way? We have to support overworked business stakeholders, some of whom have never been involved with the site, to commit to regular meetings and deadlines for writing assignments that are not in their job descriptions. We'll need to operate with an agreed-to editorial calendar for the first time in an environment with many unknowns, including whom on the client side will be the enthusiastic content wrangler we so desire.
We're just at the beginning of this task and I'm counting on my team's experience, persistence and creativity to take us to the other side. Our eyes are on the prize: Publish fresh meaningful content in a manner and on a schedule that's achievable.
Erin Abler, Content Strategist/Information Architect
Since content management and archival strategy continue long after migration and launch, you'll need to plan for the management and long-term preservation of your digital assets. Work with records managers and archivists, if your company has them. They're practiced at wading through massive quantities of information and determining how to handle, classify, and determine the lasting value of your digital assets. If they're used to working with corporate records and legal evidence, they might have to take a fresh approach to the world of ad images, user-generated comments, and product descriptions. But give them time. It would be a mistake to leave them out of a conversation that sorely needs their perspective on regulatory requirements, compliance, and the general ebb and flow of company materials.
Erin Kissane has written that most content strategy work "involves planning for the ongoing assessment, management, storage, indexing, distribution, and display of content." Wherever content strategy involves process-building and planning, you'll benefit from a solid understanding of the information lifecycle, from creation through disposition. Start early, think broadly, and tap into your organization's existing expertise – because sharing responsibility for content maintenance and long-term preservation may make all the difference in ensuring the health and longevity of your most important content.
John Alderman, Creative Director
If your goal is to keep your customers engaged, then you better be sure that you are engaged as well. You can plant the prettiest garden in the world, but unless you water and tend it, it will end up dead or feral. Freshness and frequency count, both in a customer's mind, and to search engines that are judging what's relevant. But beyond the fear of failure, the exciting promise is that if you maintain your reliability and pertinence, you can create an ongoing relationship with your customers on topics that matter to you both. Demonstrating reliability earns trust, and publishing on a regular schedule can turn that first customer visit into a habit, whether it's for video, news bits, white papers, or other compelling reasons to return. Whatever you deliver, it's important that there is someone in charge who understands both your messaging priorities, and what keeps customers coming back.

Who Is the Worst TV Boyfriend? The Results Are In!
Some TV boyfriends are totally worse than others. Specifically, ONE TV boyfriend is worse than all others; the votes are in!
Of course, every option got at least a few votes, because they all have their absolutely miserable failings as romantic partners. Pete Campbell isn't only a bad boyfriend and husband, he's an emotionally abusive illicit lover, too! Joffrey Baratheon is so mean he'll show you your dead dad's head on a spike ;— ;unless you're the kind of lady that can pretend to love the crossbow. And then there are the dudes who own a pager store and end up on ;To Catch a Predator, like Dennis Duffy from ;30 Rock.
Sure, some of them mean well, but just end up falling on their dumb faces. Bill Compton liked Sookie Stackhouse so much in ;True Blood ;that they even got their own sappy theme song — until Bill got all bitey and joined that cult. Nick Andopolis from ;Freaks and Geeks ;was too caught up in his own world, and ultimately ended up being pretty creepy. Dean Forester, Rory Gilmore's first (and recurring) boyfriend on ;Gilmore Girls, ;seemed like the perfect, all-American boy until his being possessive, controlling, and adulterous just got obnoxious. Don Draper will cheat on everybody with everyone else and then lash out when he's about to be discovered.
Can't wait any longer? Get your pitchfork ready! ;Click here to see who you voted the worst TV boyfriend!

New LEED certified green home to be constructed in South Tampa
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
This morning in South Tampa, a local green building consulting firm broke ground on a home pursuing a LEED-PLATINUM level certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Darren Brinkley is the President of REAL building, which has designed several green buildings in the Tampa Bay area in the past 3 years. He said he has big ambitions for the new house.
Brinkley said one of the features that his REAL Design team is building is an automated natural ventilation system.
The house also includes over 20 Green energy features, including a Solar Hot Water and Distribution System, LED Lights that will reduce power consumption and a Rainwater Harvesting Cistern thatâs designed to supply 90 to 100% of the potable and outdoor requirements with indoor water.
The home is being built for Drs. Michael and Anna Parsons, who live across the street from where the groundbreaking took place. They purchased the previous home that sat on the lot a decade ago, and will construct it near a grand live oak tree.
Thom Snelling is the City of Tampaâs Green Officer. He said the best thing the City could do to help green builders is to insure that their building codes donât affect construction.
John Dingfelder has been a leader on the Tampa City Council in trying to facilitate the creation of more energy efficient homes.
REAL Designâs Darren Brinkley says that the perception that a Green House is much more expensive than one without such energy efficient features is not true.
Josh Bomstein is the President of USGBC Gulf Coast Chapter. He agrees with Brinkley that green features included in the original design of a home make it much more affordable than adding on those things on an existing home.
He said currently there is only one GOLD certified home in the Tampa Bay area at the present time, but heâs seeing more in the business sector.
Home owner Anna Parsons says even though sheâs going to soon move into a home that c could be considered revolutionary in her South Tampa neighborhood, sheâs downsizing, in a way.
No specific time table was announced for when the Parsons new home would be built, but itâs expected to take a number of months.comments powered by Disqus

|What is your party registration and how long have you been registered as a member of that party?
|Democratic - 10 years (since eligible to vote)
|Previous public offices you have sought/held:
|I ran successfully for State Representative in 2006. I am currently a State Representative for District 17.
|Civic organizations in which you have been active?
|Key Club International (Former Southwest Region Lt. Governor), National Jewish Democratic Council (Chair of Arizona Chapter), District 17 Democrats (Elected Precinct Committeeman)
|Are you using public funds in your campaign?
|Yes, I am a Clean Elections candidate.
|Do you have any sort of a criminal record or any outstanding civil judgments? Please be specific.
|What is the best piece of political advice you ever received?
|Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio, one of the youngest members of Congress, told me that I should never plan my next step in politics. It is better to do the best job I can at what I am doing right now, and things will always work out.
|What character trait best serves a public official?
|What character flaw most harms a public official?
|Divisive Nature
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|Truman by David McCullough
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|Sun Devil Stadium on Game Night
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|I most admire Art Hamilton because of his ability to earn the respect of his colleagues (even at a young age) and build coalitions including members of both parties.
|Has state government been spending too much money, the right amount, or not enough? Specifically, how would you change the state's approach to spending?
|The state budget is currently too big. A $2 billion budget shortfall is an indication that our spending has greatly outpaced our revenue. We need to refocus our budget priorities on investment in our state. Our state expenditures should be more proactive and preventative, as opposed to reactive. We spend so much money on prisons and entitlement programs when that money would be better invested in education and children�s healthcare to better prepare the next generation of Arizonans. When young people are better prepared to enter the adult world, there is much less need for jail cells and state-paid healthcare.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too much money. Why?
|The Department of Corrections is a large part of our state budget, but it shouldn�t be. The state needs to invest early in the lives of Arizonans to thwart the need for such a bloated corrections system.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too little money. Why?
|Our education system in general is drastically under funded. What we spend per pupil is among the worst in the nation. The high rate of high school drop-outs in our state should be no surprise when we fail to give our schools the basics necessary for student achievement. Likewise, our failure to invest further in higher education prevents our state universities and community colleges from entering the top tier of institutions of higher learning.
|If you favor further state tax cuts, name one tax that should be cut and why.
|Instead of only offering tax cuts to the wealthiest Arizonans and large corporations, it is time to give a tax break to middle class families, who are the backbone of our state.
|If you oppose further tax cuts, name one strategy you would pursue to boost the state's economy.
|I believe taxes should be cut further for the middle class, but I also think there are other strategies that need to be employed to boost the state�s economy. We must invest in research and development to bring innovative new fields and job opportunities to our state. We also must invest in our state�s infrastructure, which will create jobs and attract more money to the state by way of tourism and new businesses.
|Are there any circumstances under which you would favor a tax increase to offset future state budget deficits?
|I would only support them in the most dire of circumstances.
|Should Arizona take the lead in fighting global warming even if the federal government doesn't? If so, how?
|Yes, we should pass our own set of strict emissions standards to not only fight global warming, but also to eliminate the brown cloud and make Arizona a leader in alternative energy.
|What one state action do you think would work best to combat the problem of illegal immigration. Why?
|I support the Attorney General�s efforts to combat identity theft and human smuggling. We must also convince the federal government to take responsibility for reforming immigration in this country. In the meantime, we must enforce the laws of our state and bring law-breakers to justice.
|If you could only introduce one bill in the coming legislative session, what would it be?
|I plan to reintroduce a bill that will require unscrupulous health insurance companies to cover vital cancer screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies and prostate exams.
|Name one unsuccessful bill during the 2008 legislative session that you believe should have become law.
|My bill to opt Arizona out of the mandates of No Child Left Behind should have become law. Our state�s education system has enough problems that need fixing without unfunded federal legislation telling us who to hire and how to access our students
|Should the Legislature act to reduce the influence of state and federal courts over state government? If so, how?
|This country and our state were founded on the principal of separation of powers. It is not the responsibility of the Legislature to meddle in judicial affairs.
|What, if anything, should the Legislature do to improve health care for its citizens?
|The Legislature should ensure that unscrupulous health insurance companies do not take advantage of Arizonans. We should also work to make sure that all Arizonans have access to health insurance, especially children and the elderly.
|Do you support using state funds for bioscience research?
|Yes, investing in bioscience research creates jobs in our state and puts Arizona on the cutting edge of new scientific discovery.
|Do you support the use of school vouchers? Why or why not?
|We must invest in our public education system. I support the idea of investing further in the education system as a whole, but not at the detriment of public schools.
|Should the AIMS test continue to be required for graduation? Should it be toughened?
|The AIMS test is a failure. We need to refocus our education system on student learning. Assessing student progress is important, but assessments should not dictate every aspect of our education system. We should implement a high school exit exam that meets universal standards of education, like the SAT or ACT. If students achieve a certain score on this exam, they should be rewarded with a �Regents Diploma� as is done in other states.
|Would spending more money on public schools increase the quality of education in Arizona? Why or why not?
|Yes, we have one of the worst funded education systems in the nation. Our teachers are underpaid, our classes are overcrowded and we are stretching our resources too far. There are two very important things we can do to improve the quality of education in our state. We must put the best teachers in classrooms and ensure that each class is a manageable size that is most conducive for student learning.

Schoolchildren's New Year Performance Goes On
| Pyongyang, January 10 (KCNA) -- The schoolchildren's New Year performance is going on here. Among the numbers is the play "Miraculous Medicine", which shows the medical service of the Okryu Children's Hospital built here.
The play tells a story about a little girl who was recovered from her incurable disease at the Okryu Children's Hospital.
When she looks around the hospital, she is very surprised at its palatial appearance.
Seen in the hospital floored with high quality materials are cartoon pictures on its walls, colorful chandeliers, peculiar-shaped glass doors, etc.
What catch her eyes are well-equipped amusement facilities in indoor playground and indoor wading pool.
When she is carried away by them, a doctor tells her that children would feel themselves relieved from fears for medical treatment so as to actively respond to the treatment.
The play draws big applauds from the audience.
Han Sol Song, living in Rangnang District, Pyongyang, told KCNA that the best medicine for our children is nothing but the loving care shown by the Workers' Party of Korea for children.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Carl Hall scored 16 points, Malcolm Armstead added 15 and Wichita State advanced to the Missouri Valley Conference tournament final with a 66-51 victory over Illinois State on Saturday.
Hall was 7 of 10 from the floor and added eight rebounds, while Armstead was 5 of 9 and grabbed nine boards, for the No. 2 seed Shockers (26-7), who will play top-seeded Creighton in Sunday's final. The Bluejays beat fifth-seeded Indiana State 64-43 earlier Saturday.
Jackie Carmichael had 22 points for the sixth-seeded Redbirds (18-15), who beat No.3 seed Northern Iowa on Friday but couldn't continue their tournament run. Illinois State shot just 29 percent.
Wichita State opened the game on a 22-6 run before Illinois State scored 16 unanswered to tie it just before halftime. The Shockers took control in the second half, steadily building their lead to double digits and cruising to the victory from there.

CRESTVIEW — A Pensacola developer has plans to build a giant hangar at Bob Sikes Airport in hopes of attracting an aerospace company to the area.
Dan Gilmore, the owner of RONDAN Investments, will lease land from the county to build a 137,000-square-foot hangar on John Givens Road.
"There's a nationwide shortage of hangar space in the United States," said Gilmore, adding that he is "dead certain" an aerospace company will lease the hangar.
He said he is currently talking with multiple aerospace companies about using the facility.
Gilmore said he could have built the hangar in Alabama or Mississippi but chose Crestview because he was impressed with the airport's major improvements and the professionalism of director Greg Donovan and his staff.
"He really knows what he's doing," Gilmore said of Donovan.
Under his 30-year lease with the county, Gilmore will pay the county an annual payment of $41,250. After the hangar is completed, the annual lease payment will be abated for three years.
Gilmore said he is confident the hangar will result in future jobs for Okaloosa County.
Mike Stenson, deputy airport director, said the need for hangars is critical.
"I get calls all the time from very large aerospace companies who are interested in having a presence at Bob Sikes Airport, and the number one question they ask is, 'Do you have any available hangar space?' " he said. "Invariably, the answer is no."
Stenson said the building Gilmore plans to build includes 67,000 square feet of hangar space, with the remaining 70,000 square feet for offices, employee parking and other uses.
"It's a big hangar," Stenson said. "You can put three C-130s into it at one time."
He said the hangar project is "a huge deal for the county" and sends an important message to the aerospace industry.
"There's plenty of room for continued growth at Bob Sikes Airport," Stenson said. "We've created the ideal environment and place for aerospace companies to thrive."
Gilmore said he would like to start construction on the hangar within the next 120 days. The project would take about nine months to complete.

Lightning is a natural electrical discharge – but scientists are still scratching their heads trying to figure out what triggers it. Renowned Russian physicist Alexandr Gurevich tells Katia Moskvitch about his theory, which really is out of this world
What don't we know about lightning?
The main problem is that we don't know how a thundercloud gets the spark needed to initiate a lightning bolt. The biggest mystery is that the electric field in thunderclouds is not very large. Years of experimental measurements from aeroplanes and air balloons have shown that the field is about 10 times smaller than what is needed to initiate lightning. It is not clear how a lightning bolt is born, but the idea is that something has to "seed" it first.
What do we know about how lightning works?
In 1749 Benjamin Franklin discovered that lightning was an electrical discharge between a thundercloud and Earth. We know ...

Portrait of my neighbor, Mr Matthew Sherrill
I recently moved into a new home. Today, we started a new series of Testing portraits. My friend Buddy Jackson told me about a jewel of a fine man, who happens to live down the street from me. He's 95 years old, still drives his big Lincoln to the grocery, and still has a strong singing voice. He likes blues songs, but prefers to sing church spirituals.
In the video below, Mr. Sherill walked across the street, to ask his friend and neighbor Julie Lee, if she'd sing with him. They've been friends for a many years.

un tres beau portrait qui nous raconte la vie de cet homme. superbe
I agree what a wonderful man and what a penetrating gaze he has. So glad that you showed us a little bit of the richness of this mans full life. Keep searching for the gems among us! Good work Mark.
Very nice… I bet he plays a mean game of golf too! I love the Ping hat… hahahaha
So inspirational Mark. Wonderful.
Oh, how I've missed this. I've missed this voice, those similar eyes, in a man. Old soul, young heart – I'm so happy to see again and become reminded. Thank you.
Ps. Did this man ever live in upstate New York?
Mr. Sherrill is one of the finest people I have even know. My Dad used to make bread and I could never eat the two loaves that he gave me when I would visit. So I would give Mr. Sherrill a loaf. You would have thought I had given him a bar of gold. Its been a pleasure and a honor to know Mr. Sherrill….
I am so proud to say that this wonderful man is my grandpa. I have learned so much about life from him.

Last saturday, aside from Eric, his father, my family, and me, only two people showed up for the user meeting. Consequently, I am considering whether or not to hold one in June at all. Thus far I've heard from one person who has said they would like to meet. I would like to hear from at least half a dozen of you if you would like to meet this June. We have been meeting at Demetre's Pizza at 14724 15th Ave NE, Shoreline, WA. This is just north of the Seattle city border, just a few blocks off the freeway. There is fairly good bus service to this location with three routes stopping right there, two more a block away, and many more about half a mile away. If you would like to meet in June, please e-mail me. If I hear from at least six people I'll reserve the space and announce the details. This would be on the 3rd saturday at 2:30pm, but if you would like to suggest an alternative time or place feel free to do so.

Hitters Hangout MiamiRead MoreEach day, the cracks of bats connecting with fastballs and the smacks of baseballs arriving in leather mitts can be heard echoing throughout Hitters Hangout?s climate controlled indoor facility. The staff here encourages serious baseball and softball improvement within the facility?s three cages: a Major League cage for live batting practice, a Minor League cage outfitted with Iron Mike pitching machines, and a training tunnel for pitching, catching, and witnessing where mascots are kept during off-hours. The professional staff of instructors?which includes Orlando Palmeiro of the 2002 World Series champion Anaheim Angels, former Marlins catcher Jorge Fabregas, and Yuniesky Betancourt of the Brewers?pass along their insights on hitting, pitching, catching, and fielding during private and group lessons.12950 Southwest 85th Avenue Road,MiamiMiami, FL US
Line Drive PerformanceRead MoreThough its name reflects its primary purpose as a a baseball and softball training facility, Line Drive Performance welcomes any athlete who wants to improve his or her fitness—an attribute that helps improve skills in any sport. During training sessions, trainers whip their subjects into shape through sit-ups, resistance training, and agility exercises, adapting challenges to fit any level of fitness or natural athleticism. Baseball and softball players, meanwhile, hone their chops inside coin-operated batting cages or work on fielding and pitching with private instructors. Much of Line Drives' facilities are located indoors, which lets players can practice in the off-season without worrying that hawks will swoop in and steal every pop fly.8770 SW 88th Terrace SMiami, FL US
Miami MarlinsRead MoreThe Marlins take the field at Marlins Park: an eco-friendly, 37,000-seat facility equipped with a retractable roof, plexiglass fish tanks behind home plate, and a vibrant sculpture in left-center field that kicks into motion for Marlins home runs. Born in 1993, the Florida Marlins quickly established themselves as contenders in the National League, taking home World Series titles in 1997 and 2003. And today, after some light rebranding to go along with the new stadium, the rechristened Miami Marlins aim to continue traditions new and old, expand their list of Hall of Famers, and train the stadium's fish to stealthily intercept batting signals.501 Marlins WayMiami, FL US
Strength And Speed InstituteRead MoreWhat services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? The Strength & Speed Institute is South Florida's premier sports performance-enhancement facility. Athletes will learn the fundamentals of speed, strength, and agility, adding various forms of resistance to speed and strength training to maximize speed and strength potential. What's one tip for first-time students that will make them feel like veterans? Work the muscle, not the motion. Many athletes use weighted balls and bats...to "better enhance" themselves, but it is actually slowing them down and decreasing power output. Train the muscles that are needed to perform the action, and the muscles' speed, power, and range of motion will increase. What was the inspiration to start or run this business? I see many athletes being trained by their coaches or ex players who inaccurately learned how to run faster, be stronger, and perform sports movements, which in turn the athletes will learn inaccurately. athletes need to learn the right way to better themselves for the sport they choose. What do you love most about your job? Different athletes, different sizes, different ages, different sports, different injuries, and different ranges of motions all have the same goals: to get individual attention and programming, to better themselves, and to become great at their sports.10412 West State Road 84Davie, FL US
Extra InningsRead MoreBaseball and softball players of all skill levels descend upon Extra Innings' 18,000-square-foot indoor facility to hone home-run-hitting swings and more. Players can swing, pitch, or field for 60 minutes inside one of the five indoor hitting tunnels that stretch 70 feet long, 15 feet wide, and 30 feet high as adjustable pitching machines sling unlimited fastballs toward the plate at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. The facility outfits hitters with bats and helmets for no additional charge, and each tunnel is equipped with an L-screen, a pitcher's mound, and sliding nets that can transform the cage into an open-field area for practicing fielding skills and ribbon-dancing routines.1690 Banks RdMargate, FL US
Players Edge Baseball AcademyRead MoreUnder the leadership of Andy Raffa, the expert staff at Players Edge Academy teach the American pastime in a 20,000-square-foot indoor baseball mecca that shields players from heat, rain, and UFO abductions. Lessons and camps dispense expert advice from an all-star team of instructors, including former Yankees pitcher Jay Tessmer, who was with the team for the 1999 and 2000 World Series victories. Taking to the indoor infield, students learn to hit, field, and pitch during lessons, clinics, and camps. Six batting cages sling fastballs, curveballs, and sliders to hitters, and in four of the cages, ProBatter PX2 pitching machines project a digital, life-size image of a pitcher onto a screen. The DVD-quality pitcher, synchronized with the incoming pitch, can be adjusted to the batter's height, skill level, and speed.11401 West Palmetto Park RoadBoca Raton, FL US

Reviews for Educational Pathways International
Educational Pathways International (EPI) is a true charity, created to enable the recipients of its scholarships improve themselves and, over the long term, improve their country.
EPI provides young, bright, hardworking Ghanaian students educational and financial support to attend university full time when it would otherwise be beyond their reach. As President
of the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), I am very familiar with EPI. In addition to their support, in exchange for hard work and brilliant academic performances, EPI has
partnered with USAC to create a buddy system matching US students with EPI scholarship recipients. This relationship has proven beneficial for both organizations and creates a unique experience for both EPI scholars and USAC participants. The buddy system fulfills the EPI scholars' community service requirement for their scholarship, and it also provides USAC participants with genuine cultural immersion. The Ghanaian culture relies heavily on relationships, and the Ghanaian students help USAC participants by welcoming them into their country and into their family and social circles.
Kudos to the officers of EPI. It is a good and pure thing they do for the improvement of humanity.
I am Mrs. Sandra Araba Fosu, the Assistant Registrar, in charge of the Students Financial Services Office of KNUST, at Kumasi in Ghana. It is the mandate of the office to explore and solicit for funds for the needy but brilliant students of the university, thus coming into contact with different donors. EPI happens to be one of them.
For the past seven years that EPI has been on the KNUST campus, I can assess them as being organized, consistent and reliable. The benefits EPI gives to her beneficiaries on campus here is more appreciable as compared to others and this covers up all their educational and living expenses.
On behalf of the university, I wish to express my profound gratitude to EPI for her charitable assistance towards our brilliant but needy students, putting smiles on their faces and helping those who would have found it difficult to pass through the university.
Undoubtedly the best charity out there supporting the education of young bright and needy students in Ghana. Mr. & Mrs. Lafrance, the founders of EPI, have a heart of gold. I am a beneficiary of their scholarship scheme and all I can say is thank you for giving me a second shot at success. I now stand a better chance to impact my world! EPI in summary, gives young bright students hope and a chance to dream again! I recommend EPI to any awarding organisation or body. They rock!

I am a beneficiary of Educational Pathways International's (EPI) generosity and great work in Ghana and can only say positive things about them! I am a final year business administration student in Ghana's high flying University Ashesi College and this was made possible through the help and support of EPI. I got awarded this scholarship at the beginning of my second year and it has been an amazing journey with them through out. EPI covers my tuition and accommodation and this support has contributed enormously to the great things I have achieved in school. It has given me the second chance to excel in life by becoming the young rising African star that I am. I have been able to participate in Model UN programs, which included the World Model UN conference held in Boston in 2010. I also interned with Goldman Sachs in the UK, during the 2012 Spring Internship Program and got offered a place in their summer 2013 Internship program. Furthermore, got selected to attend the annual WISE Summits held in Doha Qatar for two conservative years, firstly as a learner and then a mentor and speaker in the second year. Additionally, I served students in the capacity of the Ashesi Student Cpuncil Welfare Chairperson in my second and third year. During my tenure in office, some of the things I did included organizing the second annual talent show dubbed Kaleidoscope, which raised funds to support students. I also sat on the board who disbursed some of these funds (from the Student Scholarship fund, set up by an Ashesi Student and managed by students) to two students to cover their tuition by $1000 each during the 2011-2012 academic year. All of these milestones would not have been possible/realized, without the assistance of EPI. They also have an office here in Ghana which serves as a great support center for beneficiaries of their scholarship program and this is just amazing. Another exciting part of the program, which is worth mentioning is the fact that Sara and Leonard Lafrance; the leadership of the program, embark on annual visits to Ghana every year to get updated and track the progress of students on the program. This demonstrates their dedication to the program and commitment to the students they support; a testament of true leadership! Just as I mentioned in my introduction, I can only but praise this nonprofit for all the outstanding work they are doing with students in Ghana, spanning Ashesi University College, Unvieristy of Ghana Legon and Kwame Nkrumah Univeristy of Science and Technology KNUST, to mention a few. This nonprofit is certainly worth noticing and I am grateful for all their suppport!

It is with utmost delight I write this review about Educational Pathways International. EPI was the haven I ran to when I needed financial assistance for the completion of my university education. Although I expected to recieve financial assistance only, EPI gave me more than that; It gave me a family I could walk to when I felt lonely, counselling when I needed guidance and training when the need arose.
Currently I am a final year student of University of Ghana and I owe this laurelto Educational Pathways International. EPI gave me a reason to believe in myself and my dreams. EPI also thaught me confidence, perseverance and respect for all humans. They gave me another chance to trust my life goals.
I am so grateful EPI for your enormous help, I pray and hope others also benefit from your philanthropy.

Discovering EPI has being like jumping into an oasis of life. I am yet to come across any non-profit which genuinely pursues its social interventions with the passion which EPI does.
I am so proud of EPI and I feel really privileged to be part of the numerous lives that EPI has impacted here in Ghana. Words cannot help me communicate my sense of gratitude the way I feel it.
EPI does not do its things like any ordinary scholarship foundation. It seeks to develop its beneficiaries in every aspect of their lives in order to produce all rounded individuals who will be able to make real life impact in their communities.
I strongly recommend EPI to any institutions that promotes the interest of non-profits. If there's anything that will help EPI get more recognised and earn the support of many donors, I strongly recommend EPI.
I will love to continue to see such a great non-profit grow and transform more lives right before my eyes. Long live EPI! Long live the Lafrances!
I cannot overstate how immensely EPI has helped me in my personal and academic life. At the he end of my first year stay at the university, my world came tumbling down. I had not the smallest amount of hope of where to get funding for be remaining three years of study.
But when I had the rare opportunity to join the EPI family, all I concentrate on now, is when to study and how.
My life has undergone a great transformation under EPI's scholarship program. Thanks to the Lafrances, I smile and to the future with boldness and confidence.
The ever-growing EPI family continues to transform lives beyond national borders and skin color.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Reliable. That is how I would describe Educational Pathways International, EPI. EPI was there for me when I needed help financing my education at the university of Ghana business school. EPI provided for me financially in all areas of my education, the Lafrances basically took an interest in my wellbeing. Educational Pathways International has been an umbrella to shelter me from some major storms in my life, and a rock i can lean on.
The scholarship enabled me to stay comfortably in school and concentrate on gaining knowledge to better the world around me. I also gained a new set of friends who were always there for me. I remember when the programme coordinator during my time in school would call me and my friends, also on the scheme, to teach us some valuable life skills not taught in the classroom. She would also speak to me about relationships, ask about my family and put her romantic novels at my disposal.
I felt that Sara and Leonard Lafrance believed in me and expected great and admirable things from me; it was one of my greatest sources of motivation. It made me gain confidence in myself and my abilities and, opened my eyes to the great things I could do for myself and the people around me. I still feel same.
It has been two years since I completed my undergraduate degree in Banking and Finance, but EPI still has an interest in my life. The EPI family shared in my joy when I secured a position in a reputable bank in the country after my graduation, and continue to do so as I climb the corporate ladder and transform into a matured and wise woman. I believe that EPI will be with me in every step of the way, in all areas of my life cheering me on and supporting me.
I gained a new family when I went looking for financial assistance. EPI is family.
I strongly recommend EPI to any awarding organization; EPI and the Lafrances are a gift to mankind.

EPI is a beautiful family that has rekindle my hope of completing my tertiary education. This well structured organisation offers not only financial support to her members but also engages her beneficiaries in activities that fosters good interpersonal relationship. Ever since I joined EPI, apart from not having to struggle to settle my school fees, I have also gained in areas such as, goal setting skills, career guidance and communication skills. I have found a family away from home comprising peers who are vibrant and enthusiastic in all regards. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs Lafrance and her supportive Benefactores and Benefactresses for choosing to assist my brothers and sisters.
Educational Pathways International (EPI) has given hope to those of us who thought education was a thing for the rich which we could only dream of. Receiving this scholarship has helped me achieve my dream of securing education in one of the best universities in Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST).
EPI will go a long way to change the economic class of my family background since my education at KNUST will spur me on to greater opportunities in life. EPI has not only given hope to me and my family but it is transforming and nurturing the development of a whole nation as we the beneficiaries are the future of Ghana.
Receiving this scholarship has fortified my identity as a beacon of hope and example to many youth especially the females (brilliant but needy students like me) in my community. EPI has given not only me but others an opportunity to acquire the needed knowledge to make meaningful contributions which will go a long way to affect and positively change the current state of growth and development in Ghana.
Educational Pathways International(EPI) to me is more like a family. EPI has brought us (students) together to learn from each other, help each other and also influence the lives of others. I therefore recommend EPI to any awarding organization for their generous contribution to the youth in Ghana.

Am Essel Akos, a beneficiary of the Educational Pathways International (EPI) and it had a great impact on me. This scholarship fund boasted my academic performance when I was in the university and I graduated with a good class. Aside the good academic performance I learn a lot of skills and abilities that cannot be achieved in the lecture hall. Through it yearly internship program, I am able to learn basic office skill, techniques and have experience which helps me in every work environment I found myself. EPI scholarship stands as both academic boaster and social life stimulator, coming into contact with other beneficiaries and coordinators of the scholarship scheme in Ghana I learn how to live with each other and good social life. EPI is a family on its own and trust me a lively, happy, and God centered family
Educational Pathways International which supports needy but brilliant students really made my path through KNUST a success. EPI took away the burden of having to think of how to pay my fees, how to feed and more importantly supported me in getting books to study. EPI advocates for good grades. This made it possible and motivated me to graduate with first class honours in Electrical/Electronic Engineering. EPI is a family to me. One thing I really like about EPI is the unity within its members even after graduation we still hold meetings to discuss how to help our community and we also receive messages from our sponsors and coordinators. With the support of EPI through its community service, I can now speak in public. This has been of immerse help to me during my national service with Ghana Grid company since we give presentations during safety meetings. EPI also gave me the medium to reach out to the people in my community so as to help. To Mr. and Mrs. Lafrance and all those that support EPI I thank you very much for the impact you have played in my life, not only academically but also all spheres of my life through your guidance and support. I recommend EPI to any awarding organization for their selfless dedication to mankind.

Who am I? What do I do? How do I live? Where do I survive? When do I eat, sleep, breathe? Why all the questions? I could go on and on and on about myself. Have a question? Go ahead and ask. For the time being, here's my life in a snap-shot (well, more of a panorama view). I was born on April 28, 19 . . . okay, BORING! . . . Instead of giving you a novel, let's just give you a short story. Well, it's not going to be that short. However, it beats a 500 page autobiography! So let's not delay in telling everyone who I am. So, without further ado, here it goes . . . and feel free to enjoy some popcorn while you're reading this. . . .
Energetic, fun, friendly, hard-working, lively--those are some of the words that people use to describe me. I'm a little out there, but that makes me more fun I guess! : ) I was born overseas. My parents, who also had two other daughters (who were born before me and that makes me the youngest), immigrated from the other side of the world to America, America! Since we were really, really young when we came here, I don't think of my sisters and I as foreigners. We pretty much know American pop culture and all that . . . my proof . . . flashback to the 80's . . . Michael Jackson, big hair, banana clips, tapered pants, spandex, leg warmers -- all those were hot when we were growing up. Take it to the 90's . . . MC Hammer--"Can't touch this!", Mariah Carey and all her hit songs including the one I cannot get out of my head right now--"There's a hero if you look inside your heart, you don't have to be afraid of what you are; there's an answer if you reach into your soul and the sorrow that you know will melt away, and then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on . . ." I love that song!
Anyways, can you tell I get easily distracted? J/K--well, not really. My mind is always thinking and thinking and thinking though. Also, I'm always going and going and going. At any one time, I'll be involved in many activities, perhaps working multiple jobs or participating in several extra-curricular groups. Right now, besides taking this course, I work at a broadcasting company. They have a couple of TV stations, radio stations, a web based network. I work with their local TV stations with their traffic a.k.a. continuity. Traffic in media means advertising/programming--making sure that the daily flow of commercials/shows is correct and accurate. My job is kind of hard to explain, but an easy way to think of it is that I am a scheduler. It sounds easy, but there's a lot more to it. I love my job. I love the people I work with.
I also love a lot of other things. I love being involved; hence, outside of class and work, I participate in a student group. I also volunteer at an organization that prepares and packages meals to homebound and ill people. In addition, I am on an alum board, serving as Vice-President: Communications. That sounds important, but it is just the local board. If I am ever on the national board though, you might hear the sound of horns (due to me tooting my own horn). I try to take care of myself not only physically but spiritually. Once a month, I visit a group of nuns--and I'm not kidding--they call themselves "Nunz in the hood" because they are located in the inner city. They are great, and they love their location because it allows them to do outreach where they are at. I'm always looking to do outreach and making the community and world a better place. That sounds cheesy, but I always want to improve myself. Improvement is something that never stops. One way I strongly think that I am able to improve myself is through lifelong learning. That is why I am taking this course (and frankly it also fulfills a requirement). I pursued my B.A. here at the U a few years back, and I have returned to the U pursuing the Grad-level certificate in Organizational and Professional Communication.
So here I am now--taking this course and telling you about my life. The Web has become more and more important to not only my life but other people's lives. It has become a necessity as I think many times to myself: "what would we have done before without it?" When I think I know a lot about the Web, there is so much more that I don't know. Going over the assigned readings, repeated thoughts included, "Wow, I did not know that!" or "Interesting, I learned something new!" Just as I would like to continue improving, I would like to continue learning about Web 2.0. I first heard about Web 2.0 at my last job about 2 years ago. There was a position opened where that person would dedicate his/her time on Second Life, which is a virtual community. It's like living your life on earth but on the Web. If anyone is interested, the site is http://www.secondlife.com. What is interesting is that some major companies have invested their time in Second Life (such companies like my former employer). Honestly, it's hard for me to comprehend -- in terms of valuing a virtual community vs. actual community. What would the world be like if it were all virtual? That boggles my mind sometimes.
When it comes to my interactions online, I try to keep my life on earth the same as my life on the Web. I don't want to live another life online. The web is always changing and emerging. In the article, "What is Web 2.0?", it gives us an illustration of the evolution of the Web . . . from 1.0 to 2.0. That was very helpful for me to understand the web now vs. the web back then. To be honest, I am not a super-expert when it comes to technology. I think that I am tech-savvy (in terms of being able to use the computer), but there is a lot more that I would like to learn. I hope to learn a lot in this class. Live and Learn!
Reading material that really interested me . . .
"Ten years ago, Netscape's explosive IPO ignited huge piles of money. The brilliant flash revealed what had been invisible only a moment before: the World Wide Web. As Eric Schmidt (then at Sun, now at Google) noted, the day before the IPO, nothing about the Web; the day after, everything. (Kelly, We Are the Web)"
I totally remember 10 years ago, and I totally remember how Netscape Navigator was "da bomb"--lingo back then meaning really cool. It was only 10 years ago, but boy, have things really changed. I remember it took "forever" to load a web page. Also, do you remember when there were web addresses of well-known companies that did not even own their website? There was a person who would create web addresses URL's of well-known companies without their approval. If I recall right, Coca-Cola was one of them. Boy, has the web changed within a decade! Very fast!
"There is only one time in the history of each planet when its inhabitants first wire up its innumerable parts to make one large Machine. Later that Machine may run faster, but there is only one time when it is born. (Kelly, We Are the Web)"
Okay, the last quote really concerns me. The part where it says that "Machine may run faster", what if the world is taken over the Machine(s) and destroys us? You see that in science-fiction, but sometimes you have to wonder. That's why it concerns me.
"Due to deep changes in technology, demographics, business, the economy, and the world, we are entering a new age where people participate in the economy like never before. This new participation has reached a tipping point where new forms of mass collaboration are changing how goods and services are invented, produced, marketed, and distributed on a global basis. (Tapscott and Williams, 2006, p. 10)
Yes, I agree that technology has changed and developed tremendously in such a short time. Thus, changing the economy. Technology has changed how we live life. For example, instead of going to the store to buy items, you could shop online. Therefore, not only does a company have to think about marketing at a store but also marketing online. Also, take the political campaigns for example--the candidates are using YouTube to reach the audience. That's something different!

Praying for Change and Being Changed
January 2014
Hundreds of thousands of Christians in the United States – and many more throughout the world – prayed for an end to hunger on Dec. 10 as part of an international "wave of prayer" led by Bread for the World and other organizations fighting hunger.
"We are in front of a global scandal of around one billion people…one billion people who still suffer from hunger today. We cannot look the other way and pretend that this does not exist. The food available in the world is enough to feed everyone," said Pope Francis in a video that the Vatican released on the eve of the day of prayer.
The day of prayer came at a critical time, with Congress considering deeper cuts to SNAP (formerly food stamps), the most successful anti-hunger program in the United States. Cuts that took effect on Nov. 1 are already taking away approximately 10 million meals a day that would have fed working poor Americans and families struggling to lift themselves out of the recession. This loss is more than all the food charity that churches and food banks provide.
"We prayed to God for the end of hunger, which is clearly possible in our time. We asked God to guide Congress and to deepen our own commitment," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World.
"The global wave of prayer changed my own prayer life, and I hope that many Bread for the World members will continue to pray on an ongoing basis for the end of hunger," continued Beckmann. "I have found it helpful to ask for the end of hunger every time I say, 'Give us this day our daily bread.'"
Bread heard about Pope Francis' plans to encourage a global wave of prayer to end hunger from some of Bread's board members with ties to Catholic leaders in the United States and the Vatican. After consulting with Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Charities, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bread reached out to other Christian and interfaith leaders, encouraging them to involve their members in the day of prayer.
At least 17 religious denominations and organizations urged their members to engage in prayer on Dec. 10. This included the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), American Jewish World Service, Willow Creek Church, the Islamic Society of North America, the Salvation Army, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, American Baptist Churches, and the National Association of Evangelicals.
Despite a snowstorm that closed federal government offices in the Washington, D.C., area on Dec. 10, Bread and its partners in the Circle of Protection came together in a brief prayer service in the Capitol. Three members of Congress participated.
Although it is not known how many people around the world prayed that day for an end to hunger, the event garnered nearly 159 million media impressions in the U.S. Articles appeared in the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, The Hill, Catholic News Service, and Reuters.
In addition, 7,222 Christians sent emails to their members of Congress asking them to protect funding for hungry and poor people.
"We must empower the poor to shape their own destinies. We need the voice and moral force that Pope Francis – and leaders from all the world's faiths – can provide," wrote Dr. Jim Yong Kim in a blog post after Bread reached out to him for the event. "We need all of you. Together, we can build a global movement to end poverty."
The Dec. 10 prayer wave was the launching event of the "One Human Family, Food for All" campaign of Caritas Internationalis, a confederation of 164 Roman Catholic charities working in 200 countries. The 15-month campaign focuses on the right to food, with an advocacy goal of having the United Nations call a special session on the topic.

MLS Playoffs
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed reporters after the Galaxy's 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union.
(On tonight's performance..)
ARENA: "I think the score does not indicate the game correctly. I don't think we were as dominate as the score would indicate. We were pretty sloppy in the game, but having said that, we finished some great goals. At times we played well, at other times we didn't play so well. So it was far from a complete victory tonight, and we have a way to go. But it is good to have some of these players back, it gives us a little bit more quality obviously in the final third. But we can play better than we did today."
(On Baggio Husidic...)
ARENA: "I think he is very much appreciated. He has played in a lot of spots for us, and he is a very good team player. He is a very good player. I think again, tonight, is another good game by Baggio. Hopefully we could get more players that play as consistently as he has."
(On Gyasi Zardes...)
ARENA: "I think he had a good night and a good goal with a great ball from Keane. He is getting better."
(On Sebastian Lletget...)
ARENA: "He is a good player, no question about it. You can his quality on the ball. He can move the ball, he is a good passer, he can finish off players, so he is a good addition to our squad."
Omar Gonzalez named to MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week after LA Galaxy draw with New York Red Bulls
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez was rewarded for a strong defensive performance in the LA Galaxy's 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls with a place in MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
Throughout the match Gonzalez stifled New York's Bradley Wright-Phillips, winning several key duels that helped render the Englishman ineffective on the night. Joining Gonzalez on the Team of the Week squad is goalkeeper Jamie Penedo who was placed on the team's bench after his three save performance at Red Bull Arena.
Not included was 18-year-old goal scorer Bradford Jamieson IV, but the teenager's brilliant first career MLS goal is up for MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Week.
CARSON, Calif. -- Since 2009, the LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC have set the gold standard for Major League Soccer.
Over the last six years, the Galaxy and Seattle have accounted for three of the last six MLS Cup winners (all Galaxy), four of the last six U.S. Open Cup winners (all Seattle), and three of the last six Supporters' Shield winners. All the while, both sides have enjoyed the two highest winning percentages in Major League Soccer.
Ahead of Sunday's clash between the two teams, MLSsoccer.com has provided a breakdown on the rivalry in the infographic below.

LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena on Steven Gerrard: "we want to get him pushed as close to goal as we can"
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke to reporters on Wednesday to discuss the club's newest Designated Player signing of Liverpool FC midfielder Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard will remain with Liverpool until the end of their season and will be eligible to play when the league's transfer window opens in mid-January.
Arena's complete comments from the conference call can be found below.
(On how the Galaxy intend to rotate their midfield around Gerrard…)
ARENA: I'm not spending a whole lot of time on that right now. We have seven months or so until Stevie arrives here in Los Angeles, and we're going to play out the process of our team, see how it moves forward, and see how we're ready to utilize Stevie once he gets here.
(On how Gerrard relates to other European arrivals to MLS like Beckham and Keane…)
ARENA: I think that they have proven track records. They're winners, they're great people, they've been terrific leaders on their clubs previous to coming to the Galaxy, and their qualities speak for themselves. Stevie has the characteristics of David Beckham and Robbie Keane, he's a terrific players, he's of great character, a great teammate and a great leader, so I think he'll complement our team in a very positive way.
(On Gerrard's versatility in the midfield…)
ARENA: In my observation of Stevie over the years, he's not only been a central midfielder, he's played a little bit shaded to the left or right underneath the strikers, so he can play a variety of positions in midfield. My guess is we'll play him closer to the forwards than our center backs. He's a player obviously with very good attacking qualities and we want to get him pushed as close to goal as we can, when we can. So I think we can accommodate that through a variety of positions. It'll take a little bit of time, but we'll get it figured out by the time that Stevie arrives.
(On the criticism that Gerrard receives for being unable to track back…)
ARENA: Steven Gerrard is a great player. He played in the 2014 World Cup, he plays for one of the top clubs in England… He's got great experience, great understanding of the game; he's quite capable of playing on both sides of the ball. I believe he'll be a very good player for us in MLS.C
(On if Arena will manage Gerrard's minutes…)
ARENA: I will manage his minutes. I'm going to try to get him on the field as much as possible.
(On the process to sign Gerrard…)
ARENA: First of all, I think Stevie did his homework, he was well aware of MLS and the Galaxy. He's been here a couple of times, obviously with Liverpool, so he knew Southern California and L..A. He understands MLS, so there weren't a whole lot of questions and he's obviously been aware of Beckham and Keane at the Galaxy. But on and off over the years, Stevie's always been a name that we've examined as a potential player to come to the Galaxy, and obviously over the recent months we've obviously pursued the player… Over the last two or three weeks, things came together pretty quickly.
(On if the Galaxy had other options…)
ARENA: We were looking at three or four players over the last three or four months, and obviously, Stevie was there all along. I would say that I thought it was going to be a longshot to acquire Stevie, but as we got closer to the year, interest on both parties picked up, and we were very fortunate to be able to secure a deal.
(On how Keane and Gerrard will combine…)
ARENA: They're two outstanding players. They've played together before, they know each other, and I think in a short period of time they're going to be able to have a great understanding of each other, and I'm quite confident that we'll see they're going to be able to help create chances for the LA Galaxy.
(On Robbie Keane's input in the Gerrard signing…)
ARENA: To be honest with you, I have not spoken to Robbie Keane about this. Maybe a month or so ago, I let him know we were talking with Stevie, but we didn't talk about how he fit in with the team and everything else. I just acknowledged the fact that Stevie was a player that we had an interest in.
Stefan Ishizaki was heralded as a potential third attacking weapon in the LA Galaxy attack when he was signed last offseason, and while the Swede never truly blossomed into that type of offensive asset, he still put forth a strong season as he helped LA to a championship.
Appearing in all but four games during the entirety of the Galaxy's MLS slate, Ishizaki's ball skills played an important role in helping create the Galaxy's possession-oriented offense that tallied a league-leading 69 goals in 2014. Ishizaki's abilities led the Galaxy to trot the Swede out at the top of a midfield diamond early on in the season before he transitioned to a steady role as an attacking option along the left side of midfield as LA pushed toward their trophy. In total, Ishizaki ended the season with five goals and eight assists in all league competition in his first full season
With Landon Donovan gone, Ishizaki is among several will need to shoulder the burden left by the retiring U.S. soccer star during the 2015 season. If Ishizaki can truly become a true offensive weapon alongside Robbie Keane and Gyasi Zardes, the Galaxy will have every opportunity to retain their MLS Cup title.
How would you rate Ishizaki's 2014 campaign? Read my review of the LA Galaxy midfielders on LAGalaxy.com while also voting and commenting below.
In a season when he flourished doing the little things to keep his team going, LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho's 2014 season will undoubtedly be remembered for one massive moment.
For the entirety of LA's championship winning campaign, Juninho was the team's most consistent player with a team-high 43 appearances in all competitions—40 of which were starts. During that time, Juninho formed the spine of the league's finest midfield alongside fellow Brazilian Marcelo Sarvas while notching five assists in all league competitions as well as one truly immense goal that helped LA reach MLS Cup by eliminating Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Championship.
After a season of being used primarily in a defensive capacity, Juninho is likely to resume this role with the Galaxy aim for a sixth title in March. However, head coach Bruce Arena will undoubtedly want more offensive production from the influential Brazilian as his 2014 offensive output was his lowest since his first season in Major League Soccer back in 2010.
How would you rate Juninho's 2014 performance? Read my review of the LA midfielders on LAGalaxy.com while also voting and commenting below.
CARSON, Calif. -- Truly the engine that helped the LA Galaxy run, Brazilian midfielder Marcelo Sarvas enjoyed his best season to date as he played an irreplaceable part in the team's run to an MLS Cup title.
An indomitable force in the center of the park, Sarvas' displayed a tendency to only thwart opposition attacks with his ball-winning ability, but was also a key asset to the team's attack as he notched five goals and 13 assists in all MLS competitions. Sarvas' most crucial assist came in extra time during MLS Cup when he delivered a pinpoint ball over the top to Robbie Keane for the championship-clinching goal.
Sarvas and his midfield partner Juninho will not doubt have every opportunity to build upon a campaign that saw them crowned the preeminent midfield tandem in Major League Soccer. Once again, Galaxy boss Bruce Arena is expected to call upon Sarvas to provide the offensive output with his timely ability to cover ground while Juninho holds it all together. If this pair can be successful once more, there's no reason that LA won't contend for yet another title.
How would you rate Marcelo Sarvas' 2014 season? Read my review of the Galaxy midfielders on LAGalaxy.com while also commenting and voting below.
CARSON, Calif. – No member of the LA Galaxy showed more growth and progress in 2015 than outside back Robbie Rogers.
In 2013, Rogers struggled with injuries en route to a disappointing season while also dealing with the scrutiny of being the first openly gay professional athlete in a major American sport. A year later, the story was far different for the 26-year-old as Rogers settled into a new role as the club's left back amid injuries to veteran options Todd Dunivant and James Riley. At the end of the season, Rogers solidified himself as one of the finest left backs in MLS as he was a vital part in the LA Galaxy's MLS Cup winning squad with 24 appearances in all MLS competitions with three assists.
As important as 2014 was for the defender, 2015 could be even bigger for Rogers as he looks to not further his development as an outside back, but also continue his push for a place on the U.S. National Team. With Jurgen Klinsmann's squad needing depth at left back ahead of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in light of DaMarcus Beasley's international retirement, Rogers may find a spot in the USMNT's depth chart.

It was a bit of struggle to get this photo. There aren't many wide open spaces in my neighbourhood; except for this one patch of really tall grass, an empty bungalow lot. The only problem was that the lot was walled off by a really tall (8 or 9 feet) solid zinc fence. But i wasn't to be defeated, there was a small hold in the wall, i put my hand and camera through the hole and pressed the shutter release.

Generally, kit lenses are temporary place holders for better quality glass; something to use while an upgrade is pending. This past week i've changed things up, and relied exclusively on the PEN Mini kit lens, shooting exclusively in the 28mm equivalent focal range. At f3.5 (though i used f4 mostly -- found the half stop making quite a difference in the IQ), it's a relatively slow lens, but very usable in most available daytime light conditions. I was very surprised at how sharp the lens is at f4.0 and at f5.6, this sharpness extends from corner to corner quite well. Not your average kit lens, this. Very pleased.
HDR, or High Dynamic Range, photography is a technique that allows for the darkest and lightest portions of the photo to be far apart and still allow for acceptable contrast. HDR images can be obtained by either computer rendering, or via the merging of several different photos that represent the exposure range being captured. Many modern enthusiast digital cameras facilitate this via automatic exposure bracketing (AEB), ranging from 3 to 9 shots. A typical 3-shot bracket may have the same photo at -1EV 0EV +1EV. Then software such as Lightroom is used to merge the photos together. The results can look something like this, 3-shot bracket, -1.3EV 0EV +1.3EV, Olympus E-PM1.
From Wikipedia - The herons are a widespread family with a cosmopolitan distribution. They exist on all continents except Antarctica, and are present in most habitats except the coldest extremes of the Arctic, extremely high mountains and the driest deserts. Almost all species are associated with water, they are essentially non-swimming waterbirds that feed on the margins of lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds and the sea.
A little perspective goes a long way. Cigar: Cohiba Behike 52, Model: Ming Thein.
During a Lunar New Year party recently thrown by a friend, i got some facetime with the Leica M9. The last time i had this marvelous piece of precision engineering in my hands, it was paired with the Noctilux 50mm f0.95. This time, it came with the Summilux 35mm f1.4. The results? Amazing. It might be a brand association, or just a placebic mind trick, but Leica photos have a unique "pop". See for yourself.
For the first time in my life last week, i experienced the infectious nature of a flashmob. An impromptu (or seemingly so) group of dancers coming together to perform for a few minutes in a random location. Beside myself, i couldn't help but to sway and hip and hop to the beat. I almost missed this lovely shot of another person, similarly infected.
The Danish women's doubles pair made it into the Finals of the Maybank Malaysia Open 2012 after a tremendous effort. The whole match they were sombre and serious, even when they were on the verge of victory. And when the final ball went in, winning them the match, the release of emotions was palpable.
Last Friday night, i met up with friends to share a new cigar, the H Upmann Half Corona. You can read the full review here. Besides the wonderful cigar and food, the camaraderie was outstanding. Catching it all on film is a bonus.
There are certain symbols that are instantly recognizable. The swastika is known as a Nazi symbol. The Nike swoosh is unmistakable. If you see a stick figure without a skirt on a door in a mall, odds are good you know you're looking at the entrance to the gents. Here's another, a pop culture icon. Even in a sea of thousands, in low-light, one look and you just know.
At the New Year's Eve party last night at Dataran Merdeka, KL, it felt as though half the city had turned out to see the festivities. Packed to the brim, there was hardly enough space to turn. When the fireworks lit up the night sky, "Ooohs and ahhhs" resonated through the crowd. The booming blasts of lights ushered in a new year, the 2012th edition of the modern calendar.
May your year be full of OOOH, AHHHS and BOOMS. Happy New Year 2012.
