Staff members present official t-shirt for display at Chris Madrid's restaurant
(May 22, 2012) -- What do UTSA and the Chris Madrid's restaurant have in common? They both value personal attention, a quality product and a genuine concern for customer satisfaction.
When Mari Mandujano, assistant director of admissions at the UTSA Downtown Campus, realized that of all the t-shirts displayed on the walls of Chris Madrid's, not one was from UTSA, she made it her mission to correct that.
So, on Wednesday, May 16, 10 staff members from the UTSA Downtown Campus presented Diana Madrid, the sister of the restaurant's namesake, an official UTSA t-shirt to be displayed proudly in the restaurant.
Known for his famous hamburgers, the late Chris Madrid opened the restaurant in 1977 and was a University of Texas at Austin marketing major.

Welcome to Hell
Hell really is a place on Earth. In fact is a place on Grand Cayman, not far from Grand Cayman Beach Suites itself.
Hell is a group of short, black, limestone formations located in the West Bay part of the island. The actual limestone formations cover an area of roughly half a soccer pitch and the landscape is desolate, almost lunar.
The precise reason for how this area acquired this name is not known, although it is thought that it stems from either a local official saying "This is what hell must look like", or because the sound of a pebble bouncing around the peaks and valleys sounds like it is making a long descent.
However it got its name, Hell has become a tourist attraction, every road sign pointing to Hell being a photo opportunity. Hell also has a gift shop, a service station and a Hell themed post office, from where you can send postcards from Hell etc.
Visitors are not allowed on to the actual rocks themselves, but there are several viewing platforms.
If Hell is other people, then the tranquillity of Grand Cayman Beach Suites must be close to heaven.

Things I liked:I know its a Daisy, but I use this on the Crosman CH2000 and it is perfect. Clears the charging handle just fine. Should also work on theCH2009.
Things I would have changed:No complaints. There is a 3 or 4 click hysteresis, but once you know this, you learn to work with it easy.
Things I liked:Cheap, works, easy mounting/dismount with a coin.
Things I would have changed:I have an older sight, from 2012 on my Crosman Challenger. It has a metal locking knob, and new ones have a plastic one that might strip out.
What others should know:This sight is well built, but when it gets old it tends to jump around even on my PCP challenger. Although still accurate enough for me to win the American Legion national sporter championship with it, so I guess I can't complain. Also, old ones have the rubber eye cup. New Crosman Challengers don't have the eye cup.
Things I liked:I like the product. adjust very well
Things I would have changed:does work lose so you need to keep checking the nut that it is tight.
What others should know: I use it to check scopes to see if it's the gun or the scope that is breaking down. if the group doesn't shift shooting with this then its the scope.

TRIPOLI: An explosion rocked a Coptic church near the Libyan city of Misrata, killing two people and wounding two, all of them Egyptians, a diplomat told AFP on Sunday.
"Two men were killed and two others wounded," said the diplomat at the Egyptian embassy in Tripoli who declined to be named, adding that it took place late Saturday but the embassy was only informed on Sunday.
"The blast was yesterday at 11:30 pm (2230 GMT) at the church of Mar Girgis (St. George) in the town of Dafniya in Misrata (province). We were informed at 6 am," he said.
The embassy has dispatched the consul to Misrata to get details about the blast.
"We still don't have clear information" about what caused it, the diplomat said.
But he added that, according to initial reports, the blast took place in an annexe of the church.
Earlier, a security official said the blast occurred on Sunday, killing an Egyptian and wounding three others.
"An investigation is now underway," the security source said.
Another security source said the explosion struck "during prayers" but the embassy official could not confirm that a service was underway at the time.
Dafniya is a Mediterranean town 30 kilometres (20 miles) west of the city of Misrata, where brigades made up of former rebels hold a major checkpoint.
There were an estimated 1.5 million Egyptians living and working in Libya before the 2011 armed revolt that toppled Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi. About two-thirds left during the war but many returned in 2012.
Before the revolt Libya had a population of around 6.3 million -- including some 1.5 million African immigrants many of whom fled during the fighting -- that was 97 percent Muslim and only three percent Christian.
Christians in Libya are mostly expatriates, including migrant workers from neighbouring Egypt where Coptic Christians are the largest religious minority.
In August, the International Committee of the Red Cross shut its operations in Misrata, 180 kilometres (110 miles) east of the capital, after armed assailants laid siege to a staff residence.
Libya's first elected authorities are keen to boost security but the fledgling army and police are often helpless in the face of well-armed militias made up of former rebels.
Extremism has become a source of growing concern in post-Kadhafi Libya, with several international agencies and diplomatic missions targeted this year by attacks blamed on radical Islamists.
The deadliest was a September 11 assault on the US consulate in second city Benghazi, which killed ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

This all makes it a little bit more difficult, and certainly more expensive then the cheap trailer examples we see in the most posts. Motorcycle luggage trailers over here are quite expensive, mostly around € 1.500 and upward....
So, I am thinking of building one of my own.
Nope I walk into the agent where i live and fill in a form and they issue reg and a plate for it at least in BC Canada. Reg as u built trailer. If you want to spend the cash the pv 41 single wheel trailer clone are being sold for 600 bucks by royal enfliend usa online. Considering the company in India that makes they sell them for 400 bucks in India its an ok deal if you can't weld . Myself I m touring as soon as some money comes in the next 4 months. The only issues is Helix or C3 cube. With the helix I can build a sidecar and carried more stuff and go faster. With a c3 I can build a single wheel trailer go father for less. WHen you don't have any issues with time then it makes it harder to choose. Since I will never have to be home for kids ,wife , morage etc you have to choose wisely.

Hard to describe how good these tires are. The ride is so smooth and the traction unbelievable. Our Ranchers feel like totally different machines. Wish I would have purchased these sooner.Read All Reviews
Joel in WY
I've had these tires in deep snow and mud and I'm very happy with the way they performed. I feel they were worth the rise I paid for themRead All Reviews
Jeremy in CA
I decided to give these tires a shot based on the positive reviews. I do mostly trail riding in the mountains and run between 10-14psi depending on conditions. They do track well in rocks, roots, and intermediate terrain. The things I'm not so stoked on have to do with wear and traction specifically on the rear tire. Although the rear stays in line and grabs well through rocks and roots like I was saying before, it does not hook up so well on dry hard pack sections of the trail. It's hard to really be aggressive coming out of a corner because the back end wants to break lose or slide out. I will say that it's fairly predictable though. The other potential issue is wear. I'm not sure if I just didn't pay close enough attention to the knob height when it was brand new, but after only 5 hours or so, they seem pretty worn down and rounded off.Read All Reviews
Justin in ME
This tire works great in the rocks and roots of Maine and last forever, my only gripe is it does not clean out all that well in the mud. You can't have everything though. Other than that it works great!Read All Reviews
Rod in UT
In my opinion this is the best off road tire made. Wears well, does not chunk and is good in hard and rocky terrain. Would highly recommend.Read All Reviews

HAGERSTOWN, Md. – After pummeling the nation's midsection with heavy snow, a late-winter storm made its way today to the nation's capital, where residents braced for the possibility of power outages.
As the storm closed in, the federal government said its offices in the Washington, D.C., area would be closed today. Many major school systems around Washington and Baltimore announced pre-emptive closures as well.
By early today, wet snow was falling in the Washington area. It was accumulating on the grass in some areas, but not on the streets as temperatures hovered above freezing. The worst of the storm was expected to arrive by midday.
The storm brought around 10 inches of snow to weather-hardened Chicago by late Tuesday, when snow was also starting to come down in parts of Virginia. Schools were closed in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, and more than 1,100 flights were canceled at Chicago's two major airports, prompting delays and closures at others.
Washington's mayor is urging people to stay off the roads as snow from the winter storm moves through the region.
D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said this morning in an interview on The Weather Channel that the "most important thing for us is to keep people off the street" so that emergency operations personnel can do their jobs.
Gray says city schools and the government are closed and the city's emergency operations center is up and running.
The mayor said more than 450 pieces of snow equipment have already been deployed.
Forecasters are warning of high winds with gusts of up to 40 mph across Georgia, part of the storm system that damaged several homes northwest of Atlanta and brought snow and ice to parts of the north Georgia mountains.
High winds damaged several homes near the Calhoun Premium Outlets along Interstate 75 in Gordon County around 4 p.m. Tuesday, Gordon County Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Paris said.
About 10 homes appeared to be damaged, including one that housed an in-home day care, Gordon County Emergency Management Agency Director Richard Cooper told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. No injuries were reported.
Nearly 112,000 customers are without power and schools are closed in parts of Virginia. The University of Virginia and public school systems in the affected areas canceled classes today. Local government offices in Culpeper, Waynesboro and several other localities also are closed.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for these areas. The National Weather Service says parts of northern and western Virginia could see more than a foot of snow.
The Maryland State Highway Administration says it has 2,000 crews patrolling and treating state roads with salt.
The agency says it expects the snow to intensify during the day, adding to accumulations that were measured this morning. There was about 7 inches of snow in Keysers Ridge in the western Maryland mountains and 2 to 3 inches in central Maryland.

If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

So you've been wondering about female genital piercing or clit piercing? First of all, let's put to rest some of those misconceptions that might be troubling you. Female genital piercing might sound quite intimidating, but as long as it's done correctly, this type of piercing is no more painful than the piercing of other areas. In fact, clit piercings often heal quicker than other piercings.
We have carried out clit piercing in the UK for many women looking for that edgier piercing, more sensation in the region or simply a piercing in a place they haven't yet had one! Whatever your reason for choosing this type of piercing, you can be sure our technicians are experienced and have the right equipment to hand. And before we get started we'll check you over to ensure you are a suitable candidate for female genital piercing and ensure you understand the aftercare procedures.
If you are worried about infection, don't be. As long as you follow our aftercare guide and keep your pierced area clean you should have no problems. Because of the increased blood flow in the area, you'll find that genital piercings actually heal quicker than ear piercings and are less prone to infection. We also guarantee that our piercing equipment is absolutely sterile and we use a new needle for each client. You are more than welcome to come in and chat to us and check out our work environment before you commit yourself to having any work done. Our commitment is to the health and wellness of our customers and this is apparent in everything we do from body tattoos through to piercings and laser tattoo removal.
If you would like to see photos of the clit piercings we have carried out in the past we would be delighted to show you our portfolio. However, it's important to understand that all genitalia is different and so the overall result varies from person to person. You can get a fair idea of the end result however.
Before opting for a clit piercing in the UK, think about what you hope to gain from this kind of adornment. Is it purely for decorative purposes or for stimulation? Do you have a particular project in mind that will require more female genital piercing in the future? We'd love to chat to you about your ideas and suggest the right piercing design to suit your needs.
Get in touch with us today to arrange an appointment. We'll tell you all about the clit piercing options we have available and give you more information on this procedure.

Elizabethtown, Kentucky Motorcycle Accident Kills Man & Injures Female Passenger
James Duffy, age 61, and Karen Marinko, age 57, were riding a motorcycle on Mulberry Street in E-Town, Kentucky when the motorcycle they were riding was involved in an auto collision. Duffy was the driver of the motorcycle and Marinko was a passenger of Duffy's. Based upon reports, it appears that the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Mulberry when a Mercury Grand Marquis, driven by Daniel Cook, age 68, was traveling eastbound on Mulberry. Cook attempted to turn left into a Denny's Restaurant parking lot and Duffy's motorcycle then struck the right rear of Cook's car. Based upon the facts surrounding the crash, Cook failed to yield the right-of-way to Duffy's motorcycle, and attempted to make a quick turn into the parking lot. As a result of Cook's failure to wait for a clear passage to turn, Duffy's motorcycle struck the rear side of Cook's car, which threw Duffy and Marinko from the motorcycle. Cook was not injured in the accident, but Duffy and Marinko were airlifted to UL Hospital, where Duffy died and Marinko is in critical condition.
Based upon the reports of the accident, Duffy's Estate and family will have a Kentucky wrongful death claim against Cook and his insurance company for damages that relate to the loss of Duffy's life. Additionally, Karen Marinko will have Kentucky personal injury claims against Cook and his insurance company for her injuries and legal damages related to the accident. This was a tragic accident that could have been avoided by driver awareness and patients.

Talent, patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success
In a hundred people, about 25 of them might have an inborn talent to be better than the 75. Like in the scope of music, for the 75, to be a good musician 'demands' hard work and endless practice. For the 25, because of their talent of 'perfect pitch', they could instantly recognize notes and to be a great musician will require passion for music and joyful practice doing what might come naturally to them.
I was told by many when I was younger that I could be anything I wanted to be just like what many teachers and such will tell their students.
( Personal Video on the Journey so far)
Only my closest to me told me since young, to be what you want to be and can be the best you can be. I was not forced to study, I excelled in it because it was fun, then I slackened in it and enjoyed soccer more as I could run faster than 75% of others, though not as skillful as the talented 25% in soccer. Then I studied again, and enjoyed it.
As an adult, it is no longer an insight to know the 25% of things you can excel in and the 75% which is otherwise of half a harvest instead of a full one. It is a responsibilty as the bread is won by us.
Not all plantations reap full harvests, choose your crops well, for the seasons are long in their terms. Tend to them with care and the fruits will be for your pickings.
Some say the art of perfection is because of practice. Isn't practice about making enough 'failures' to learn what works and what doesn't anymore? Persevere, never give up and the prize will be sweet to the lips upon the first touch of victory.

As a college freshman, Bob Schneider believed he was destined to become a lawyer. But after attending a pre-law course, Schneider decided the profession wasn't for him. For Schneider, the theory of law was more intriguing than the day-to-day practicality of the field. And so he pursued a different path — education — and went on to eventually become the principal of Pierson High School. Now Schneider hopes to give Pierson seniors a chance to explore different professions in the field and is in the midst of coordinating an internship program for seniors.
"I want to bridge the gap between what goes on in school and what goes on in the real world," explained Schneider. "We all have impressions of some kind of career. The reality can turn out to be something else. It can be better or worse. But I want to give kids a chance to explore and get a realistic idea of a profession."
Schneider added that the focus of the internships aren't to help students choose a career at a younger age, but expose them to many different experiences before they decide which field to pursue.
According to guidance counselor Linda Aydinian similar programs exist for high school students throughout the state and internships aren't a new concept to Pierson.
In previous years, explained guidance counselor Eileen Kochanasz, students participated in a child development internship where they helped out in an elementary school art, physical education or music class, and even created lesson plans.
Schneider hopes the senior program will expand upon this idea to include a mentorship aspect. Though Schneider is still solidifying the nuts and bolts of the program, Pierson senior David Horn will soon begin an internship with music teacher Eric Reynolds. Horn hopes to pursue a career in music performance, but has left himself open to exploring the field of music education.
"I want to give [David] a mock budget. I want him to look at the percussion instruments and see what equipment he thinks we should buy," said Reynolds in describing what he has in mind for Horn's upcoming internship. "I might have him design a concert program. He might sit in on a [faculty] meeting."
For Horn, music has been a passion for most of his life and it's something he plans to concentrate on in college, but he still sought out a hands on experience in his potential career. Student Kyla Kudlak is organizing her internship at a local law office, while Aly Bori and Jessica Warne plan to work with the Sag Harbor Express to hone their writing and photography skills.
Schneider added that he is still looking for local businesses and professionals to volunteer to mentor these seniors. Many of the interested students are still finishing up SAT tests and college applications, so Schneider says the program should be in full swing by the winter. In the future, he imagines students enrolling in the program throughout the year as it works with their schedules.
Kochanasz added that internships help round out students' applications for college.
"It makes their resume and college application stand out," remarked Kochanasz. "It shows they have already pursued [a career]."

Dana Greenberg -- August 2002 -- Disneyland
My trip was July 30-August 17 but our Disney days were August 2, 5, 8, and 16. We flew to LAX from Seattle.
We stayed at my parents house!
Each day was a different cast and I noted who went with us on which days. My daughters are 6 and 2, my parents are 57 and 64, and my brother is 21. We are all veterans (ok- even Abby has been twice in her two years!).
Trip Report
August 2 (Friday) , 5 (Monday), 8 (Thursday), 16 (Friday) 2002
The Players
From Seattle:
(my husband thought he would make some of the trip but alas--it was not to be!)
From Anaheim:
Note: This report deviates from the standard story because my parents live 10 minutes from Disneyland so (1) we avoid hotel costs, and (2) we can divide up the days we spend at Disneyland as to avoid child burnout! By default, we ended up being "commandos" on this trip but somehow it all worked out (and we did not stay from open to close--although for DCA that would not have been too hard to do since the hours are so short these days!).
Pretrip planning: I called from Seattle to make reservations for Mary Poppins tea and had had grammie check out a Mousesavers tip on hoppers (when you purchase a 3 or 4 day adult hopper pass you get a child's pass for free). You can only purchase these special hoppers at CA Disney stores. We flew into LA on July 30th.
Day 1
Mary Poppins Practically Perfect Tea
Revelation of the Day
Some Disney experiences can still surpass even my expectations!
Players--DG, HH, AH, GP (a ladies event)
I called the Disneyland Resort to make reservations for the tea in June and had no problems getting the date (Friday at 12:30). I needed to provide a credit card number and was told there was a 48 hours cancellation policy. I was apprehensive about bringing AH to the tea (no high tea experience and not her best time of day) but the woman I spoke to at the resort thought that she would be able to sit through the lively 1 1/2 tea party. We also watched Mary Poppins at home before the trip as tea prep!
We arrived at the hotel about 1/2 hour early and parked in the hotel lot (free with validation from the tea) and looked around. The kids enjoyed the Mickey Mouse art work in the hallways and wanted to spend more time in the gift shop!
Mary Poppins has her own tea room on the 2nd floor of the hotel. A waiter ushered us in to a room full of wicker tables and couches. The room filled up quickly--I would guess about 35 people in all. Just in case anyone was wondering...there were no little boys in attendance :(.
We sat down to a table for 4 (AH was delighted that her high chair had a Mickey Mouse cutout on the back!). On the table were plates with scones and eclairs--my children announced the Mary Poppins had backwards meals like we often have at my house (dessert first!). Our waiter came to take our tea order and brought out 4 beautiful china pots (AH had apple juice). Yum. GP has some food issues (this will be an issue later on as well) and our waiter did his utmost to find out the ingredients in every item served throughout the tea and made substitutions when appropriate. Very thoughtful!
But where was Mary Poppins?? Always one to make an entrance, Mary came in once everyone was served tea and had their mouths full!! She sang a song and ducked into the kitchen to be sure that the chefs were hard at work.
Mary came out when the little tea sandwiches were served (GP received beautiful steamed veggies and rice). She sang and visited with each table. When she arrived at our table she noted that GP's meal was the best she had ever seen from her kitchen! AH chatted with Mary for a while but HH was speechless (I think she was processing whether this was the "real" Mary--something we would deal with throughout the trip!). Mary asked if the girls saw her when we flew to Los Angeles, since she often used that mode of travel herself! We had a picture taken with her and she told us that at dessert time there would be another special picture opportunity. More dessert--HH was in heaven!
The special photo op was terrific--Mary invited each table to come to her special couch and her assistant provided us with hats and boas to match our outfits. Mary sat with us and the assistant snapped pictures. One note--and quite a surprise--no official Disney photographers were available for picture taking so if you left your camera at home you were out of luck! Good thing we had our grammie along!
Mary sang a few more songs--ending with Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! The bill for tea was right under $84 (adults were $22.50 and children $13.95 plus 15% gratuity).
I have heard that Mary may leave her tea room at the end of August--what a shame. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
An aside--my girls could not believe that we were so close to Disneyland and not going on any rides (frankly I couldn't believe it either but we didn't have time!).
High Points of the day--What can we say--Mary Poppins!!!
Low Point--Not going into Disneyland - of course!
Day 2--Disneyland, DCA, Disneyland
Revelation of the Day
I like DCA. My 6 year old and 2 year old like DCA too!
Players: DG, HH, AH, GP, GM
We arrived at the Disneyland Resort ticket booths at 10am and my parents decided to purchase a 1 day hopper (a new ticket option $64 for both parks). My parents LOVE the Electric Light Parade and had not yet been to DCA so this was a good deal. Of course we decided to go to Disneyland first!
One of my favorite times during a visit is when we choose which tunnel to walk through to get to Main Street. My six year old is reading everything and actually stopped to read every poster along the way! Finally--the view down Main Street!!! Why does it always feel like you never left it? My father says the same thing and he has been a visitor since the park opened.
We went through the Sleeping Beauty's Castle (is seems smaller every visit--could it be possible?) to Fantasyland--what a zoo. The carousel rehab has really reeked havoc on the traffic patterns around the dark rides. We decided to ride on Dumbo while my parents went to purchase a hat for my dad (yes--it was already hot!). When we reached the front of the line AH declined the offer to sit and ride :(--luckily GP was there. We then decided to get out of Fantasyland and walked to It's A Small World. We waited 1/2 hour--only one side of the queue was opened. Geeze. It was totally worth the wait though because the new paint/glitter really made the ride sparkle. The girls were enchanted-so were the adults.
Time for lunch already--always a challenge with this group. I thought our best bet would be to take the steam train to Main Street and go to DCA--fewer people. Once at DCA, GP had to interview every chef to find a restaurant where they could eat--oy! I took the opportunity to get FPs for Grizzly River Run. We ended up eating at the ABC Soap Opera Bistro--perfect. My parents could eat, the children liked the menu choices (which included dessert) and I was happy to be in a cool place where I was waited on!! Lunch for 5 was $70 (including tip) and was well worth it. My parents did not really like the acting interlude (cast members pretending to be soap opera stars practicing lines) but HH thought it was hysterical
Our FP was for later in the day so off we went to Muppet Vision 3-D. No wait and the preshow was just about over when we walked in. Everyone enjoyed the show-although AH would not try the glasses and HH took them off during the fireworks sequence. Interesting to note that my children do not know these muppets--they rarely make a visit to Sesame Street! We tried Disney Animation but too many choices and none of interest to children. Time for our FP for the River Run!!! HH went with GP, then I went with HH using the baby switch pass (GP decided he did not need any new experiences at this stage of his life - oy). I love this ride--great theming and HH and I agreed the pipes on the way up the hill sprayed much more water than last year.
After the "grown-up" ride we all knew what would be next. AH's favorite-- King Triton's Carousel--a must for AH (especially since the Disneyland carousel was down). There was no wait so we were able to ride 5 times --AH was thrilled. Luckily there was a water vendor nearby (3 bottles- $3.50) because it was hot.
It was at this point that I realized that I really like DCA. It is certainly not Disneyland but it has rides my children enjoy, restaurants that we can all enjoy, characters that we cannot see at Disneyland (Lilo and Stitch!!), and--let's face it--far fewer crowds! Sure, there is little shade and few "E" rides but it had just enough for us. My parents did not share my opinion and said it reminded them of Universal Studios' Citywalk (do others share their opinion?).
After watching the children on the carousel I could tell that GP could use a dose of old time Disneyland so back we went! We went on my dad's favorites--first the Jungle Cruise (15 minute wait at 5pm on an August day--unbelievable). HH noted that our tour guide for the Jungle Cruise was a woman (and very good too!). The girls really love this ride because they still think all of the animals are real--my parents enjoy the "humor." My parents also noted the political correctness changes (no shooting in the hippo pool, the "sleeping" zebra) with a sigh. Oh well. We then got FPs for the Pirates and continued on to the Haunted Mansion. A walkon!! A really noisy crowd in the elevator and AH did not bat an eye. The girls did not like the hitchhiking ghost. Then back to Pirates. What can we say--we all love this ride sooo much! AH was a bit nervous about the fire but handled it like a trooper.
Three rides in a row--must be a signal for dinner! We went to the Plaza Inn (near the partners' statue) where we had luck before with this group but my parents were not enthralled with their choices. The girls ate children's meals (noodles with butter/cheese and chicken) with apples and a drink for me $16. AH fell asleep. My parents found salad in Tomorrowland and brought it back over to sit with us.
At this point I realized that if they were going to see the Electric Parade we needed to get to DCA. I decided to send them on their own--AH was asleep and HH was content to eat dessert and watch the Parade of Stars (for the 10th time--and she loves it every time!) from the table (you can still see the parades through the trees placed around the restaurant) . We shopped along Main Street after the parade and bought her first souvenir of the trip (Sleeping Beauty Barbie-type doll - $20). AH received a princess hat- $16.
We met GP and GM at Downtown Disney after the Electric Parade (still magical for them after all these years!) and took the tram to the parking structure. My dad was very impressed with the Mickey parking structure ("look how efficient...").
High Point of the Day--Walking down Main Street with my dad--we've done it together many a time and every time is special.
Low Point--Did I mention the stroller dilemma. We decided to rent one for AH but did not remember that only humans can park hop-strollers stay behind. So we had to keep exchanging strollers (interrupting naps and waiting in line)-what a hassle.
Day 3--DCA, Disneyland
Revelation of the Day
I really like to ride the rides!
Players: DG, HH, DG2
Let me just say that HH could not keep quiet about a Disney trip without AH and AH was not at all pleased when the car left without her! This was our chance to ride the rides--and let us just say that the carousel was not on our list!
DG2 had been an annual pass holder during his teen-early college years but had let it lapse since he graduated college this past may. We had to bribe him to buy the one day hopper ("too expensive")--ok I split the cost with him.
We got into the park at 2pm and immediately got FP for the Grizzly River Run. Since we had some time, we strolled over to Paradise Pier. The wait time for California Screamin' - zippo- a walk on. In August. One of three "E" rides. Ouch! HH declined so DG2 went first, then we traded. HH ended up on the carousel :). It was my first time (I love roller coasters but the lines were too long last summer). Wow--the take off was awesome (and the best part of the ride). I must be getting old though because I got off the coaster with a headache :(. We then decided that HH needed a coaster fix so we went to Mulholland Madness and waited in a 40 minute line for the ride. HH loves this one--I like the old-fashioned switchbacks. It seems too enclosed though since the new sound wall was added but I can understand not wanting to hear screaming children while in my $300/night hotel room. HH even talked her uncle into the Jumpin Jellyfish ride (even she thought it was lame). I took the opportunity to buy water and coke ($8).
Ok-at this point I need some aspirin! Off we went to the first aid station (hidden behind the tortilla exhibit). My brother was impressed that Disney handed out free drugs. Me too. And to follow up with a free tortilla--life was good! We then ambled off to the Bountiful Valley Farm to play in the water. For those who have not seen this area it is essentially a series of sprinklers for children to play in - I love to play and get wet as much as the next kid. Since we were soaked it was time to use our FPs for the River Run. Terrific as usual (HH could not stop talking to the honeymooning couple about what they should expect next--sorry!).
Aspirin working (hurrah). Time for dinner (with no need to interview chefs!). We ate at Taste Pilot's Grill (lots of food--$30) and ate outside - a beautiful California evening (no bugs, no bees, HH was in heaven!).
Time to hit the trail across the plaza to Disneyland! HH needed a frozen banana right away ($3). We went to get FP for Thunder RR and then went to the Mark Twain (I wanted a ride in the pilot house). We went on board but were told that no one was riding in the pilot house due to "wheel problems" and we should ask a dock cast member for help next time. Oh well--HH loved it and it was DG2s first cruise as well. Time for Haunted Mansion (no hitchhiking ghost issues this time) and back for Thunder RR--except it is not working. Oh no--HH's favorite! The cast members said it would be about an hour--come back later.
So-we decided to try the Matterhorn. HH was very nervous - a new ride for her. I showed her that even kids 35" could ride (she is a tall 51") and that helped. Suffice to say that she has a new favorite coaster ride--loved the Matterhorn. Then on to another first for HH- Autopia. There were no more FPs so we waited - 30 minutes. She loved it - although I had to convince her that we would not ride off the rails no matter how poorly she steered! Another Matterhorn ride--ok! Then we then headed back to Thunder RR -working! By now it was dark and even more fun to ride. We then decided to try the wait on Splash Mountain and watch the fireworks (ok-not the best location for some but the best for HH who is not a fireworks fan!). Alas--we lost patience in line and decided to head to Fantasyland. By now you would have thought it would have cleared out--no way! We rode on the teacups, Snow White and Pinocchio (a ride that I believe is the most frightening at Disneyland--one scary scene after another!). Then the clock struck 11-hard to believe Disney closes at 11 in August!
We thought that's it--time to go. But then DG2 and I looked at each other and decided to entice HH into Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln (still seating!). Neither of us had seen the show since the renovation. HH enjoyed the sensory experience ("did he cut your hair too?") but I missed being preached at by President Lincoln. Anyway... done for the day!
High Point of the Day--HH's smile walking off the Matterhorn. Precious!
Low Point--Splash Mountain's queue. It almost always posted 120+ minutes standby throughout our visit and the FPs were gone early! Oh well!
Day 4-- Disneyland, DCA, Disneyland
Revelation of the Day
A Disney experience is totally enjoyable no matter the age of the company (or the lack of an extra set of adult hands).
Players: DG, HH, AH
Our last day of Disney and our last day of what was a 3 week vacation!!! Today we got to the Disney Resort by 9am - woohoo! The girls wanted Disneyland first so off we went. I should note that we brought our own stroller today--no stroller-hopping issues for us!
We headed straight for Fantasyland--we had an agenda. Peter Pan! A line begging for FP! We waited 10 minutes and flew off to Neverland. We had been watching "Hook" at the grandparents house so it was even more fun! Then Mr. Toad (AH not quite sure about the ride but she got through it!). Dumbo loomed ahead. AH looked at us and said "I want a blue hat Dumbo." That was enough for us and off we went. HH flew by herself for the first time--AH loved every moment! Then Casey Junior's Circus Train (the girls had been watching Dumbo every day for a week so this was heaven), then Storybook Land (loved the little villages--although the whale's mouth was a bit frightening for HH--go figure!). Alice in Wonderland was next--and it was only 10:15! AM! It was like an early entry day. I realized that I would need to be the picture snapper today and had to buy a disposable camera ($12-ouch--I missed the grandparents!).
We decided to go for broke and try Autopia - a 5 minute wait. I have never ridden in a car with three but off we went. AH told HH that she was a crazy driver--about 100 times! We needed some popcorn and drinks ($8) and decided to head to Fantasyland to listen to a princess story at the Tinker Bell Toy Shoppe but on the way HH stopped dead in her tracks. "Mom--there she is. Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip." Who? Oh, Sleeping Beauty. We waited in line and got the picture (AH held out her famous "stop" hand to tell Sleeping Beauty to back off!). HH asked again if it was really Princess Aurora and I told her that I believed in my heart that everything at Disneyland was real. That was enough for her. Good thing because in my mind I saw Santa, the Easter Bunny and the newly visiting Tooth Fairy hold their breath for my answer!
After a diaper change at the Gerber Baby Station, I decided that it was time to try the pilot house on the Mark Twain again--I was determined to get up there after hearing about the opportunity from Mouseplanet fans! Again, I was told that there were "wheel problems." We passed and decided to shop a bit in New Orleans Square. A glass mug with name for HH's friend Seth ($21 - ouch), 3 painted parasols for HH, AH, and another friend ($33 - what a deal). Both shops said they would have our purchases ready in a bit but said we could pick up as late as 11:30pm--hurrah! Then we hoped on the steam train to Main Street and hopped on over to DCA.
Guess who was asleep before we left Disneyland...AH. So HH and I went over to the ABC Soap Opera Bistro and had a delightful ladies lunch (again-good menu and table service). We ordered for AH but she slept through the meal ($40). Ok with me!! She woke up as we left so we gave her some cold pizza and headed over to - you guessed it - King Triton's carousal. The cast member (Andrew - I think) even had to smile at AH as she said "two more times..two more times!" We went on six times (I think) and then decided to go back to Muppet Vision 3-D. Both girls enjoyed the show even more the second time (HH even wore her glasses). AH ate cold pizza throughout the journey between rides and seemed ok with that!
You may ask--are there other rides at DCA? Yes, but we tried "It's Tough To Be A Bug" last year and HH still hasn't recovered from the first 5 minutes (that's all we saw). AH is too short for almost every other ride--and we didn't want to wait 30 minutes for the ferris wheel that could have delighted or terrified AH. Even the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is basically too challenging for AH (HH loved it last summer). And yet we still really enjoy DCA--maybe the lack of choice makes the park easier to handle!
After a diaper change it was..
Back to Disneyland for our last hurrah
I really wanted a silhouette of the girls for their Dad - and there was no line at the silhouette shop so in we went. I bought the picture ($21) but I have to say that it wasn't very good (sorry Sylvia). The girls then went into the China Closet and chose their bone china figure to add to their collection (one a year). AH chose Dumbo and HH chose Dopey ($15)! While the silhouette shop held our purchase the China Shop could not. Never hurts to ask though.
Off we went to get pineapple juice (my favorite- $6) and then headed to It's A Small World. Another wait even though both queues were opened. I called my husband to let him know how we were doing (he thought I was crazy to take the girls on my own) and he said to call him once we were in the ride so he could hear the music. OK- now I really felt totally guilty enjoying my Disney day compliments of my husband in the salt mines! (Later he told me that the whole office came in to listen as I called out the continents :)). Next to Roger Rabbit and Toontown. I had not been on Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin since it opened but HH had seen the movie so I thought "why not. We got a FP and decided that it was time to fulfill one of AH's requests and ride the monorail. No pilots up front--a cast member said no one has been able to pilot since 9/11. Is that the real story for the Mark Twain??? Anyway, the monorail had one of the longest lines of the day and then our train was deemed "out of service" at the Downtown Disney stop. We waited 10 minutes for the next train--and decided that was enough monorail!
Back to Toontown with our Roger Rabbit FP. Roger Rabbit is not a ride for children--even though it could be. The ride vehicle is really jerky and it is hard to notice the story. I remembered about the child who fell out only when the cast members kept saying over and over to keep AH seated in the middle--yikes. We will not be going on that ride again!
Dinner--I should have made reservations at Blue Bayou (but since my husband has yet to eat there I thought that the children's stories of how great it was could have pushed him over the edge!). So, the girls ate burritos and I drank a coke at Rancho del Zachlo ($13). I was starving but it is too hard to push a stroller and carry a tray and hold a 6-year old's hand! The girls loved the burritos and off we went.
OK- our last two rides. Jungle Cruise and...Pirates or Haunted Mansion? AH said the Haunted Mannion was "too spooky" and Pirates had "too much fire." HH was beginning to cry. Uh oh. I got FPs for the Pirates and we headed toward the Jungle Cruise. Boy, do they love this ride! Then we talked AH into the Pirates ("the fire is pretend honey...") and she ended up loving it! We picked up our purchases and headed to Main Street. We caught the end of the Parade of Stars and ducked into the Blue Ribbon Bakery for cookies and coffee (for me )- ($10) and then picked up our silhouette. AH wanted milk - so we walked out of Disneyland (HH said to the cast members at the gate--"we are Disney Done!!") (bye bye) and stopped at La Brea Bakery for milk. Of course by the time it was purchased ($3) she was sound asleep.
For you tram users, you can put an opened stroller on the platform in the front car of the tram but you need to take your sleeping child out of the stroller. Ok - but could anyone help me put the stroller on? Or take it off? Luckily, two nice gents were helpful but not the best way to leave the park.
High Point of the Day--Realizing that I could "do Disneyland" with the girls on my own. HH and AH after the Pirate ride exchanging stories about their favorite parts of the ride. My special lunch with HH (by the way--HH decided that she would pay for lunch--how grown up!).
Low Point--While we have had dozens of good experiences at the Gerber Baby Center this day was different. I needed to change AH and HH needed to go potty and this particular cast member would not let HH use the toddler potties - and there were no other options. I let HH use the toddler potties (even I wanted to use the toddler potties)--geeze. So--beware if you have children with an age gap--the Baby Center may not be your best bet!
I have high hopes that our terrific stories will convince my husband to plan a family trip to CA in December (and perhaps a stay at the Grand Californian??).
Boy--that was a long report for someone who didn't report on hotels and swimming....if you got this far I would like to thank you for indulging a fellow lover of all things Disney!!!

GMA News and Public Affairs strengthens Serbisyong Totoo with "Buhay Ang Gabi" campaign
GMA News and Public Affairs, the country's most-awarded and most credible broadcast news organization, launches "Night Shift," its flagship evening public affairs strip beginning Monday, July 22.
The "Night Shift" block includes multi-awarded public affairs programs I-Witness, Reporter's Notebook, Born To Be Wild, and Alisto. With its tagline "Buhay Ang Gabi," Night Shift provides substance and quality television to its viewers at the end of each day.
Night Shift opens with "Langis Sa Tubig," Peabody awardee Kara David's in-depth documentary on the black oil livelihood in Quezon province, which airs this Monday in I-Witness. In this compelling tale of hard work and struggle, David immerses herself into the pains of extracting precious oil from foul-smelling waste to describe some Filipinos' battle with poverty. Joining David in mounting documentaries for the Network's longest-running public affairs program are award-winning broadcast journalists Howie Severino, Jay Taruc, and Sandra Aguinaldo.
Reporter's Notebook follows on Tuesday with fearless investigative reports that seek accountability from public officials. In this Tuesday's Night Shift, hosts Maki Pulido and Jiggy Manicad expose illegal black sand mining in Cagayan and illegal logging activities in the Sierra Madre forests. Beginning this week, viewers can also participate in live online discussions that aim to send direct feedback to government agencies through the "Tag Reporter's Notebook" campaign. Viewers can simply tag the show's official Twitter account (@ReportersNBGMA7) to ask questions, give feedback to concerned agencies, and participate in the live discussions.
On Wednesdays, the Philippines' first environmental documentary program, Born To Be Wild, shows the best of the natural world through its dedicated team of wildlife filmmakers. This Wednesday, marvel at rare video footage of two iconic animals—the Philippine Tamaraw and the shark—captured by the latest in filming technology. Veterinarians Ferds Recio and Nielsen Donato showcase fascinating behaviors of the wild Philippine Tamaraw using high-end telephoto lenses and helicam shots, in addition to amazing shark encounters captured using high-definition underwater cameras.
Anchored by GMA News Pillar Arnold Clavio, Alisto! caps off the Network's late-night public affairs strip on Thursdays, airing videos of crimes, accidents, and documented hazards – as captured by CCTV cameras, cellphone cameras, and other video recorders, to stress greater vigilance among the public. This Thursday, Alisto! airs actual videos of children being abused by their babysitters, citizen-initiated Youscoop videos of cars razed by fire, and CCTV footage of various crimes. Starting this week, the program likewise launches its "Alisto Ako!" campaign which seeks to inform the public of possible threats through mini-segments within the program, related events in key areas, and strategically-placed campaign posters and stickers.
Take part in informative and meaningful evenings via GMA News and Public Affairs' "Buhay Ang Gabi" campaign. "Night Shift" starts this Monday, July 22, after Saksi.

Understand Childhood Cancers and Blood Disorders
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A complete blood count (CBC) is one of the easiest blood tests to obtain and an important diagnostic tool utilized to determine the health status of a child. It can be obtained by a fingerstick where a few drops of blood are taken from a finger or heel, venipuncture where blood is obtained by inserting small needles into a vein, or from a central line in patients with cancer.
There are three important components of the CBC that are helpful in assessing many different conditions. They are the red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC) and the platelets (PLT). Each blood cell originates in the bone marrow.
The Red Blood Cell (RBC)
The RBC's are primarily responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the vital organs and tissues and carbon dioxide from the organs and tissues back to the lungs. They have a life span of about 120 days.
Hemoglobin (HGB)
is the component of the RBC that binds and carries the oxygen to the tissues. The normal value varies based on age and gender. The range can be nine to 17.5. The
Hematocrit (HCT)
, the percentage of RBC's in whole blood, is approximately 30-45. The HGB and HCT exist in a fixed ratio where the HGB is usually one third of the HCT.
Anemia is when the red blood cell count is low. When anemic, your body needs to send oxygen to your important organs (ie: kidneys, lungs, heart, brain) at the expense of other organs. The body accommodates the low red blood cell count by slowing you down, causing fatigue, making your heart beat faster, causing headaches and making you look pale.
Platelets (PLT)
Platelets are the cellular fragments needed to form a clot and prevent bleeding. PLT's clump together at the site of a broken vessel, stimulate the clotting process, and provide for plug formation at the site of the injury. A PLT's lifespan is eight to10 days. The normal range is 150,000-450,000/mm

'Today': Meteorologist Dylan Dreyer cooks up a stormAdd to Favorites | Today
Weather is still her mainstay, but by joining "Today," Dylan Dreyer has learned a lot more about being in the kitchen.
The meteorologist for the weekend editions of NBC's morning program often finds herself in food-related segments, whether she's in the show's New York studio, sampling sushi at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport or visiting the Pennsylvania factory where Easter Peeps are made. Rain or snow might be easier to forecast than what or where she'll be eating next, but she's enjoying that aspect of the job.
"It was pitched to me as, 'You'll be doing the weather,' but it turned out that (weekend 'Today' co-anchor) Erica Hill really enjoys cooking," the truly sunny Dreyer, who was a forecaster for Boston NBC affiliate WHDH before the network came calling, tells Zap2it. "She had pitched a couple of food segments, then I would chime in and say, 'Hey, I like to cook, too.' I cook a lot at home, so the more I can be involved, the better."
Though she also enjoys preparing soups, Dreyer claims chicken potpie as her specialty.
"It was the first recipe I ever cooked without having a recipe," she says. "I just mixed a bunch of different ingredients together, and it's the only thing I cook that's totally mine. I love experimenting with any recipe book; Ina Garten is my 'go-to' right now, and I've just been cooking my way through her various books, which has been a lot of fun. For my husband, too."
Before long, Dreyer may be folding her main "Today" role into culinary coverage if a notion she has takes flight.
"I've pitched an idea to do seasonal cooking. I will spend whatever amount a recipe calls for, but if I cook within the season and buy what's most ripe at that time, I feel like I could really save some money ... and also make some fresher-tasting meals.
"Now that I've moved to New York City," Dreyer adds, "I don't have access to a grill, but I learned from my dad, who was the best griller I know. That would be perfect for the plaza."

Centering Meditation
Centering Meditation teaches us to access the healing silence that is always available during our busy, stressful lives. It is a receptive, deep method of silent meditation that uses a chosen "sacred word" in order to bring us into a more serene state of mind where we are less identified with the thoughts, feelings, sensations, and emotions that typically flood our consciousness, causing us to feel distracted, stressed out, and overwhelmed.
Thursday, May 7, 2015
Centering Meditation enables us to come into contact with the center of our being, in which we recognize our inherent human goodness and dignity, and we are no longer identified with our accomplishments and failures. Centering Meditation prepares us to receive the gift of contemplation, in which we experience the very ground of our being (God, a Higher Power, or the divine presence) within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
Our weekly Centering Meditation group will combine time for exploring the foundational teachings and methods of Centering Meditation, as well as time to practice together each week for approximately 45 minutes. No prior experience is necessary and participants are encouraged to join us weekly or to drop in whenever their schedule allows. No religious affiliation is required, though many find that Centering Meditation deepens their understanding of and commitment to a specific faith tradition.
To learn more about centering meditation, please visit the Contemplative Outreach website.

After the attack,Basilio Bousa was arrested and charged with first-degree assault. He said that he heard voices and that people were following him. He was given a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and was treated at a psychiatric hospital until he was deemed ready to stand trial. Josh, then seven, testified. But in the end, Basilio was found not guilty by reason of insanity and ordered to undergo more treatment. Eventually, the Bousas moved to Florida. The bodega closed. Basilio died in 1992, after getting emphysema. His sister, Carmen, said he smoked continually and obsessively in his last years and in moments of lucidity was horrified by what he had done. His parents died around the same time.
"Nothing was ever the same after that day," she said. "This thing destroyed my family."
When Josh-or, to give his full name, Joshua A. Miele—and I first met for coffee, he was in New York City to lead a panel discussion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art about improving the museum experience for blind people. His dad still lives in Park Slope, as do his sister, Julia, now Julia Miele Rodas and a professor at Bronx Community College who teaches and writes about disability in literature, and his brother, Jean, a photographer.
Before we met in fall 2012, I was a little nervous: I wondered how I would react to his appearance. But I found it less off-putting than fascinating. His intelligence and sense of humor blazed through, and he quickly put me at ease.
Today Josh lives in Berkeley, California, on a beautiful block of cottages built in the 1920s, with his wife, Liz, and their children, Benjamin, ten, and Vivien, seven. By the time I went to their house for dinner, I had ceased being conscious of any physical difference between us.
Josh has a bachelor's degree in physics and a PhD in psychoacoustics from the University of California, Berkeley. As an undergraduate, he worked for the technology company Berkeley Systems on software to help blind people navigate graphics-based computer programs. He developed software for the Mars Observer for NASA. He is the president of the board of directors of the San Francisco LightHouse for the Blind. He plays bass in a band. And he works as an associate scientist at the nonprofit Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute. "I'd like to be as famous as the next person would, but I want to be famous for the right reasons, for the work I've done and not for some stupid thing that happened to me 40 years ago," Josh said.
He has helped develop tactile-Braille maps of every station of San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit system, exquisite creations with raised lines of plastic and Braille labels. The maps also elegantly convey information via an audio smartpen. Josh's enthusiasm for the Braille maps is infectious, but it's nothing like the way his voice goes up an octave as he describes his latest project, a cloud-based software program, the Descriptive Video Exchange, that, in theory, will let someone narrate a video or movie and describe what they see for those who can't.
Josh remembers the day he was burned with precise detail. He remembers riding in the helicopter and making the nurses at McGuire laugh. He remembers his time at Brooke as a horror show: He never knew when a new soldier would be moved into the cot next to him because the previous one had died. And he remembers those days when it was just him and Julia ranging around Park Slope, a little amazed, as she was, that they had had so much freedom.
His perception of himself as being blind has shifted over the years, from not identifying with those who had no sight to becoming aggressively proud of his blindness. He has tried to bring along his parents and siblings on this journey, with mixed success. "In those early days of being overly cool with being blind, I said to my father, 'Dad, c'mon, when are you going to get over it? I am who I am.' He was surprised, and he said, 'You know, I'm never going to get over it.' "
It was only when Josh had his own children that he realized what this experience must have been like for his parents. He better appreciates his father's never-wavering optimism, his sister and brother's protectiveness, and how his mother told him again and again that he could do anything a sighted person could, even some things that they couldn't, like touching priceless art in museums.
"I never doubted that it was all going to work out," he said. "It was a foregone conclusion that it was going to be OK."

Laura Burtwistle works for the WSC College Relations office in addition to carrying a full load of classes. She writes student profiles in the Spotlight section of the Wayne State website (www.wsc.edu/spotlight) and photographs the students and other campus events.
When Laura started at Wayne State in the fall of 2009, she began her college career as a graphic design major. A native of rural Chambers, Neb., she will graduate in May.
"Though I loved art and design, and still do, I felt like there was something missing—some other way for me to connect with people and serve them more directly on a daily basis," she said.
Before her sophomore year, Laura changed her major to journalism, picking up a double minor in art and online media. She said she couldn't have asked for a more perfect fit.
"Besides the wonderful department and communication professors I've come to know, I thoroughly loved the opportunities presented to me," she said. "I was able to network and meet very influential people both on campus and in the community and learn about their contributions to Wayne. I also was able to tell unique stories about some remarkable people who've worked incredibly hard to achieve success or who've overcome immense obstacles to get where they are today. These people and their experiences were what made me love journalism so much."
Laura was added to The Wayne Stater staff as the opinion editor during her first semester in her new major in 2010.
"I never imagined that would lead me to become the Editor in Chief for three semesters," she said. "While on the Stater staff, not only was I able to write and uncover unique stories, I was also able to put my art and design skills to use when laying out pages, and to showcase the work of our staff at the National Collegiate Media Association Golden Leaf Awards."
"The Wayne Stater is a great asset to our college, and working with this publication has also presented new opportunities to me and allowed me to extend my networking reach," she added. "It was even a factor in helping me land a writing and photography position with the WSC College Relations office, an internship and full-time summer job at Wayne Area Economic Development, a newsletter designing position for the WSC Wrestling Program and a graphic design position with the Sports Information department, allowing me to design graphics for the Bob Cunningham Field football scoreboard."
Laura said she does not think these same opportunities would have come around at any other institution?
"Wayne State College is next to none when it comes to professors willing to bend over backward for students, administrators who acknowledge students as equals, endless organizations and activities available for all interests and an acceptance of each individual that truly makes Wayne feel like home," she said."
Laura said she has taken advantage of everything WSC has to offer. Since her freshman year, she has been involved in Circle K International, a service organization on campus, and participated in various intramurals. She is a member of the Cardinal Key National Honor Society, where she served as president during the fall 2012 semester, Lambda Pi Eta, the communications honor society, of which she is secretary, the Media Club, a relatively new club on campus, and a founding member of the recently-established Philomathean President's Honorary Society, a group of active and academically elite students that seek to preserve and share the high standards and precious history of Wayne State College.
In addition, she is a member of Alpha Lambda Delta and student co-vice president of Phi Kappa Phi, the oldest honor society on campus and in the nation. Not surprisingly, Laura is an honors student and recently presented her honors project, "Discovering Wayne State College: A Visual Display Bridging Past and Present." For this project, she located and edited vintage photographs of WSC and reshot those photos in their present-day settings, showcasing how WSC has changed since the early 1900s.
"I've grown close to WSC, and because of my experiences here, would love to make a permanent home in the Wayne community," Laura said. "After college, I plan to do freelance writing and photography for a magazine and hope to someday open my own art and photography business. I would eventually also like to obtain a master's degree and doctoral degree."
"However, any career that allows me to incorporate both art and writing, and keeps me close to this great place, is alright with me," Laura said.

9 May was Europe Day. According to EC Regulation 1828/2006, the managing authorities of projects involved in Interreg programmes are obliged to fly the European flag in front of their premises for one week starting 9 May.
Europe Day symbolises peace and unity in Europe. It is celebrated in commemoration of the Schumann Declaration on 9 May 1950, which paved the way for the creation of the ECSC and is considered to be the founding moment of the European Union.
EC Regulation 1828/2006 can be found in the Document Library.Read more about Europe Day here.

The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), operated by the United States federal government, is the world's largest medical library. The collections of the National Library of Medicine include more than seven million books, journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs, and images on medicine and related sciences including some of the world's oldest and rarest works.
Since 1879, the NLM has published the Index Medicus, a monthly guide to articles in nearly five thousand selected journals. The last issue of Index Medicus was printed in December 2004, but this information is offered in the freely accessible PubMed amongst the more than fifteen million MEDLINE journal article references and abstracts going back to the 1960s and 1.5 million references going back to the 1950s.
The NLM also runs the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which houses biological databases freely accessible over the Internet through the Entrez search engine and PubMed.
The Toxicology and Environmental Health Program (TEHIP), established at the NLM in 1967, is charged with developing computer databases compiled from the medical literature and from the files of governmental and nongovernmental organizations. TEHIP has implemented several information systems for chemical emergency response and public education, such as the Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET), TOXMAP, Tox Town, Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER), Toxmystery, and the Household Products Database These resources are accessible without charge on the Web.
The Extramural Division provides grants to support research in medical information science and to support planning and development of computer and communications systems in medical institutions. Research, publications, and exhibitions on the history of medicine and the life sciences are also supported by the History of Medicine Division. In April 2008 the current exhibition Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health was launched.
In 1956, the Library collection was transferred from the control of the U.S. Department of Defense to the Public Health Service of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and renamed the National Library of Medicine. The Library moved to its current quarters in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the National Institutes of Health, in 1962.
At the exhibition launch, an audience of young people from Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia heard from a panel of speakers that featured Jeanne White Ginder, mother of the late Ryan White and an advocate for people living with HIV and AIDS, and Dr. H. Jack Geiger, a co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility and director of one of the first community health centers in the United States at Mound Bayou, Mississippi. The panel also included young activists Niko and Theo Milonopoulos, who founded Kidz Voice-LA and Vox Populi after a series of shootings in their hometown, North Hollywood.
