Looking to add to their advantage Tucker, who tied the game in her previous at bat hit a long two-run homer to left field pushing the lead to six 8-2.
In game one the Longhorns chased starter Elena Crabtree from the game after recording two outs when she allowed seven runs on six hits. Hurdt came into the game to relieve her and finished off the game.
Hoagland led off the first with a home run which was one of two for Texas in the first inning, in addition to three RBI doubles.

UT answered with two runs off Hurdt with two runs and scored four in the bottom of the four to go up by nine. TAMUCC failed to get anything going in the top of the fifth inning to end the first game.

Traveler Reviews

Overall it was a good experience the Only thing was that One of the helicopters had a mechanical issue so they were backed so we were waiting outside for a while. It was hot out so I think they should have let us inside and wait there. But once we were in they gave us water. Staff was really nice.

the best view over New York that there is. The company running the tour is efficient and customer-friendly. There are basic facilities at the venue, but adequate as you aren't there long. Pilot did a good job and circled around the Statue of Liberty to ensure that everyone got good pictures. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

This latest iteration of the development effort has backing from a broad coalition of residents and stakeholders who, led by the city of Chula Vista, port of San Diego and Pacifica Companies, began 10 years ago to shape their vision for the city's coastline.
The Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan landed important endorsements in recent years, particularly the Board of Port Commissioners' certification of a 10,000-page environmental impact report.
Advocates also forged a landmark deal in which Pacifica Companies donated 96 acres near the Living Coast Discovery Center to the port in exchange for 35 acres of port land, consolidating development at the waterfront and moving it away from sensitive habitat. This put to rest concerns voiced by the Environmental Health Coalition, and Marco Gonzalez — a representative for the nonprofit group — spoke Thursday in favor of the overall proposal.
The master plan's accounting of environmental concerns and the design changes resulting from that process have attracted interest from other ports and potential investors in the United States and abroad, port officials said.
In recent days, the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan won a recommendation from Coastal Commission staff.
No organized opposition to the proposal remains, although a few residents have said they would rather see a university built on the waterfront property.
While the Coastal Commission's decision Thursday removed one of the last regulatory hurdles to starting construction, the port's business development director has warned against expecting building activity to commence quickly.
"We still have to start the selection process next year for our developers, and it's going to take another year to get the site design completely done, so construction will start in mid-2015 at best," Paul Fanfera told community leaders last week before a tour of the bayfront.

Northampton v London Irish - Aviva Premiership match preview
Last Updated: 02/03/13 2:42pm
Courtney Lawes: Has been released by England to play for Saints
Northampton welcome back England duo Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes for their Aviva Premiership clash with London Irish at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
Hartley and Lawes both started in England's RBS Six Nations victory over France last weekend but have been released back to the Saints to take part in club action.
Full-back Ben Foden and scrum-half Lee Dickson retain their places following the 25-23 victory over Bath after they were also given the green light from England.
That allows director of rugby Jim Mallinder to name an unchanged back-line as Northampton attempt to boost their hopes of a top-four place.
Hartley and Lawes come into the pack at hooker and lock respectively, while Samu Manoa shifts into the back row as Ben Nutley drops to the bench.
London Irish make just one change for the contest, with Jon Fisher coming in at No 8 to replace Chris Hala'ufia, who has been banned for two weeks.
The Exiles will be hoping to gain some much-needed momentum after securing a 30-19 victory over Wasps last time out.
Northampton: 15 B Foden, 14 J Wilson, 13 G Pisi, 12 T May, 11 J Elliott, 10 S Myler, 9 L Dickson, 8 GJ van Velze, 7 P Dowson, 6 S Manoa, 5 M Sorenson, 4 C Lawes, 3 T Mercey, 2 D Hartley (c), 1 S Tonga'uiha.
Replacements: 16 R McMillan, 17 A Waller, 18 B Mujati, 19 M Sorenson, 20 B Nutley, 21 M Roberts, 22 R Lamb, 23 D Waldouck.
London Irish: 15 T Homer, 14 T Ojo, 13 G Armitage, 12 S Geraghty, 11 M Yarde, 10 I Humphreys, 9 P Phibbs, 8 J Fisher, 7 O Treviranus, 6 M Garvey, 5 B Evans (c), 4 G Skivington, 3 H Aulika, 2 S Lawson, 1 M Lahiff.
Replacements: 16 D Paice, 17 J Yanuyanutawa, 18 L Halavatau, 19 K Low, 20 J Sinclair, 21 S Tagicakibau, 22 S Sa, 23 J Moates.
What they said...
London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith
"Northampton have got a few wins under their belt in recent weeks and are playing some good rugby.
"It is always a physical challenge against Northampton and I envisage tomorrow being no exception. The squad is looking forward to the challenge."
Northampton prop Alex Waller
"We've got a bit of momentum at the moment and hopefully we can get a win to keep that going. Back in September we weren't right mentally when we went to Reading and they punished us," he told SaintsTV.
"We know that we can't have a single minute off in the Aviva Premiership; every team's a good team and has the capability to beat you."

We all know the Hurleys can both play ball and coach. Dan was a standout player at Seton Hall in the mid-90s and Bobby, of course, had a decent few years at a place called Duke – finishing his career as the all-time assists leader at the Division 1 level (1,076) and as a two-time NCAA champion. But act? Well, thanks to the creative marketing team at the University of Rhode Island and Scott Beer at Cinestories, this gem has been created. And there are more coming down the pipeline as well. Despite a flood of calls from the Screen Actors Guild, the word is Dan & Bobby have no designs on a career switch. Rhode Island begins its season – the first for the Hurleys in Kingston – with an exhibition opener against the Coast Guard Academy next Friday, Nov. 2. The Rams begin the regular season the following Friday against Norfolk State in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Classic.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors Game 3 Free NBA Pick
- Updated: May 10, 2013
Matchup: San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors
Date/Time: Friday, May 10, 10:30 p.m. (ET)
Television: ESPN
NBA Betting Odds: VietBet
Pointspread: Golden State -2
Total Line: 203.5
Game Overview
San Antonio dug itself into what appeared to be an insurmountable 16-point hole in Game 1 of this best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinal series with less than five minutes to play. Behind veteran leadership and some clutch shots down the stretch, it was able to pull-out a 129-127 double overtime victory as a nine-point home favorite. This past Wednesday night the Spurs could not pull-off the same feat to fall 100-91 in Game 2 as seven-point favorites at home. The total was split in the two games; staying UNDER the 185.5-point line the last time out.
The trick to regaining home-court advantage with a win on Friday night will hinge on avoiding a slow start out of the gate for the third-straight time. Tony Parker is averaging 22.8 points and 6.2 assists and Tim Duncan is chipping-in 18.7 points while pulling-down 8.3 rebounds a game to help the Spurs average 106 points a game in the postseason, but their troubles in this series have been on the opposite end of the court. After giving-up 53 points in the first half of Game 1, they were torched for 62 points in the first two quarters on Wednesday night. It gets pretty hard playing uphill like this against another high-scoring team like Golden State.
The Warriors had to be sick to their stomachs after blowing Game 1 but you would have never had known it the way they came out smoking on Wednesday night. This time around Golden State was determined to finish what it started and that is exactly what it did by hanging tough in the fourth quarter after the Spurs started to stage another second-half comeback.
Much was made about Stephen Curry's incredible 44-point and 11-assist performance in a losing effort last Monday. While he did post 22 points in Game 2, all the accolades shifted to his backcourt mate Klay Thompson, who scored a game-high 34 points along with 14 rebounds. The Warriors as a team shot 45.2 percent from the field and 47.8 percent from three-point range. If they can play like that on the road, you can only imagine how well they should be able to perform in front of the home-town crowd.
Free NBA Pick
The main advantage that the Spurs have in this series is a vast amount of experience of how to win playoff games, but you get the feeling that the youth and talent of Golden State is starting to get into their heads. The energy level at Oracle Arena will be sky-high on Friday night where the Warriors have gone 31-13 straight-up and 26-18 against the spread this year. Look for Curry and Thompson to light it up again to help their team grab the 2-1 edge in this series.

I'm on a quest to find the best burger.... so far Lucky Monks in Barrington and Butcher and the Burger in Lincoln Park. I like to be active and discover new places to visit in the Chicago neighborhoods. I tend to connect with someone who is contradictory is a nice way.... someone who is confident yet has insecurities; someone who is mature but can be goofy; someone who is funny yet serious when needed. Perhaps, my better half is someone who is open minded, warm, and most importantly feels comfortable in her skin .. and finds me funny. I love it when I can make someone laugh. Along with similarities, I am open to someone who challenges me and helps me experience new aspects of life. I'm looking forward to this experience. I am open for new friendships and possible something much more. It's hard to get to know someone by looking at random "selfies" and a paragraph. Let's have coffee and chat.

DonJoy UltraSling IV reviews
alan The scratches my back up. you have covers for the front but none for the back and none for the back. I get hot and cannot wear a shirt all the time. Since I am stuck at home I should be able to go without a shirt but can't because your sling scratches me:( The sling is otherwise great. - alan
Bill S Better than the DonJoy UltraSling III. The strap rests on your opposing shoulder and not on your neck. The abducting pillow/bolster has been improved going from the III to the IV. Most comfortable. - Bill S
Questions on DonJoy UltraSling IV
- From Mike at 11/1/2013 9:24 PM
- Can the sling be washed and if yes how.
- Mike
All of our braces and supports can be hand washed in a mild detergent and air dried. You can just seperate the sling from the pillow and wash the sling then when it dries attach back on the velcro of the pillow.
- From Kay at 1/22/2014 4:28 PM
- When I measure my arm as described it is 13&3/4 inches but I have a very large upper arm would I need to order a large or extra-large?
- Kay
the thickness of your arm doesn't matter with the sling, you should order a large
- From Arturo at 3/29/2014 4:11 PM
- I had ORIF surgery and will be in a sling for 12 weeks. How do I choose between an ultrasling II, III or IV? Doctor orders are rotation OK up to neutral.
- Arturo
The only differences betwenn these slings are material and strapping. The Ultrasling II has a cotton material in the sling, we had complaints of it being too hot so the Ultrasling III was made with a mesh materila in the sling for more ventilation. Those two slings have the same strpping over the opposite shoulder across the back to your waist. The Ultrasling IV has the same material as the III but the strapping system is a loop around the opposite shoulder to take pressure off the neck. All fot the slings come with a 15degree abduction pillow and will not rotate you shoulder at all.
- From Lisa Southard at 4/6/2014 6:50 PM
- Can the IV strapping be purchased for the III sling?
- The straps cannot be purchased alone on BetterBraces.com. There is a Strap kit for the Ultrasling IV available direct through DJO customer service 800-336-6569
- From Dennis Rhodes at 4/8/2014 7:29 PM
- Is the sling strapped to the pillow, so that if I bend forward my arm will not move forward?
- The sling is attached to the pillow by a velcro strap so yes your body and arm will move together
- From deb at 10/9/2014 4:34 AM
- When you measure, do you measure arm straight or bent?
- Deb
Measure the elbow crease to the end of the middle finger. It does not matter if the elbow is bent or straight the measurement will be the same
- From Amy at 10/10/2014 8:05 AM
- Can the Ultrasling IV be worn without the cushion on the hip? Or is it permanently attached to the sling?
- Amy
Yes the Ultrasling can be worn without the pillow. The Pillow is attached to the sling by velcro, just detach and unbuckle the waist strap to remove.
- From tyler at 5/13/2015 7:55 PM
- after making all the adjustments my forearm is dropped down past a 90 degree angle. I cant seem to get it to a 90 degree angle.
- Tyler
The straps on that sling can be trimmed to make them shorter, which should lit the sling up.

Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis was back at practice Wednesday and could play this weekend against Oakland for the first time since Week 3. Hillis sprained his right ankle in the Chiefs' victory at New Orleans on Sept. 23. He's was able to take advantage of their bye last week to get back on the practice field. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said he wasn't sure whether Hillis will play against the Raiders until he saw him practice in pads, but Hillis said he believes he'll be ready to go. Hillis signed a one-year deal this season to provide a bruising complement to Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, who leads the NFL with 98.5 yards rushing per game. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

40 year old man | Irvine, CA, USA | Seeking women 20-33
Outgoing music loving guy seeking to make music.
Some of my favorite things to do are to play or listen to music, seeing concerts and going to the movies. I also like to enjoy the outdoors, such as hiking, camping, moutain-biking, etc. My hobbies are playing guitar, recording music and playing in a band. I played in a band when I was younger and am now trying to get back into it. But I'm in a place now, as opposed to when I was younger, that I have a secure job and can do it and truly enjoy it without worrying where the next check is coming from. I am physcially fit. I stay very active, whether it's playing basketball, biking, or other activities. I have a great group of friends and am very close to my family, but I believe you can never have enough friends. My perfect match should love music, enjoy the outdoors, and my dog. I have a three year old chocolate lab who extremely cute (pic attached!). If she is a musician or singer thats a big plus but that is by no means a prerequisite. Its always great when someone can bring something different to a relationship. Because my music is very important to me, I would want to be with someone that would enjoy me sharing that with her. I would want my match to share the same faith, Christianity, because my beliefs are very important to me. Although I don't get to church every Sunday, I do try to go often. It would be something I would enjoy sharing with my match. Ultimately, I am a very genuine person and you won't be having to wade through a bunch of BS to get to know me. I believe in honesty and trust from the beginning.

I enjoy going to the movies or go to get a drink with friends. I like to go on ride my bike on the local trails or on the beach, or go hiking either locally or to Joshua Tree. I really enjoy doing anything outdoors.
Last book I read was the Purpose Driven Life. I am always looking for something new to read that has an inspirational or thoughtful message.

Yes, I think it's just for framing purposes. As far as I know, the zoom finder is just for composition. If it's the one I am thinking of, it doesn't give distance info. I think what you'd want is an accessory rangefinder.
I had a VH and should be able to recall whether there is a scale on the bed but I don't remember one. Then again, I was swapping lenses so often, it wouldn't have been much use to me. You could print out some distance scale cards for whatever lens you're using and then just focus by scale.
There is also a handy rotating object for these cameras, which allows you to go from GG to film back with a little twist. It's a bit bulk but very fast and easy to use.
The Horsemen are very handy little cameras, very nice for travel. I miss mine. Note that you can use the RB backs on them, which is handy if you don't necessarily want to shoot 6x9.

The Jaguars are hoping that Jason Babin, who became a symbol of the collapse of the Philadelphia Eagles, can help revive their defense. Babin was signed to a five-year, $28 million contract by the Eagles a year ago and had 18 sacks but the Eagles failed to make the playoffs with an 8-8 record. Things got worse this year and defensive line coach Jim Washburn, who was Babin's coach in Tennessee before he signed with the Eagles, got some of the blame for the poor defensive play. And Babin was cut by the Eagles and the Jaguars were one of eight teams to put in a claim for him and they were awarded him because of their 2-9 record. The Jaguars are ignoring his problems in Philadelphia and think he can help their pass rush. "It's a good pickup," coach Mike Mularkey said. "He's had a lot of success over the last three years and we could use some help in that area. He'll fit what we're doing. (Defensive line coach) Joe Cullen and he have a relentless type of mindset.

People celebrate many different anniversaries, the most common ones being wedding anniversaries and in the Jewish community, the yartzeit, or anniversary of a person's passing . As a single woman in her early 50's, I haven't celebrated any of my own wedding anniversaries and unfortunately, I've marked too many of my parents' yartzeits. Now, I have an anniversary of my own to celebrate for one year ago today, I became CANCER FREE when my surgeon removed a tumor from my left breast, which though it was small, it was 'angry.' At that same time, I began living a new 'normal'.
While this anniversary is mine and mine alone, I would not have made it through this first year without the help and support of my family, friends, and community. From my brother who called me so regularly that I didn't feel the 3,000 miles that lay between us. My friend who joined me at my surgeon's office the day the biopsy results came and was by my side every step of the way. My family and friends who called, sent cards, gifts, and e-mails to be sure I knew that I was not alone, was being thought of, and encouraging me to keep up my spirits. My co-workers who were supportive in many ways: bringing my first student up from breakfast, taking up my slack on those days that I was subpar, and just being supportive. To those in my community: my Rebbetzin who called on a regular basis to check in on me, and my friends and neighbors, who if I had allowed them to, would have done EVERYTHING for me. Yes, this was MY journey, but I was NOT alone.
Following my surgery, I began writing e-mails to keep family and friends abreast of how I was doing, where I was as far as treatment was concerned, and some of the 'adventures' along the way. I thought that I was doing this to make it easier for me, rather than making individual phone calls (which I often didn't have the strength to do). But what I got was support, kudos, and admiration for how I was handling everything with determination, strength and humor. Hearing how I was inspiring people, how I was supporting THEM through this, gave me strength. I felt each response was a link that was making me stronger.
There is much that I have learned this past year: My life is forever changed, I have a new normal – I'm a survivor!! I have an inner strength that is far stronger than proven during previous 'life tests'. Laughter is great medicine. A good cry can be good medicine, too. It is okay to ask for help. We are not meant to travel these journeys alone.
Links, connections, support, strength, help, community – all describe Sharsheret…and though I linked up with Sharsheret late in my journey, I am looking forward to becoming a strong link in their chain…not only to help me navigate my new normal, but, should the need arise (G-d forbid), to help someone much like myself navigate her way, hopefully with a lot of laughter and smiles.
My Sharsheret Story is actually two stories that quickly entwined into one. I was diagnosed with stage two, invasive ductal carcinoma in February of this year. Although it was not a surprise, it was demoralizing. I had already been through a different cancer experience years earlier and although I knew I would, I often felt I could not "do it" again.
As I struggled, I naturally turned to the Jewish community which has been at the center of my entire life. I knew of Sharsheret. Years as a professional in the Jewish community had made me aware of its existence. I explored the website and ordered information. I made a call and spoke with a member of the support staff. I had a specific question, which she answered and then offered me additional support as needed.
I spent the next months recovering from several surgeries and then triumphantly ordered my Thriving Again survivorship kit. Again, I spoke with the support staff who called to follow up on my request. I thought the kit was enough, but as we spoke a bit more, we discovered there was something else they could help with.
Before my diagnosis I held two part-time jobs in a local synagogue. I took medical leave from one position and stepped down from the other. Now that I was through my treatment, I was looking for new employment and worried about disclosing my diagnosis to potential employers and managing follow-up care. Sharsheret supplied several wonderful resources and guidance about cancer and careers.
During my job search Sharsheret was looking for a Director of National Outreach and it almost felt bashert (destiny) to me. I had the professional skills and training and now I had the personal experience. I have always worked my passion. I heard another cancer survivor say "Make your mess your message." Either way it felt like Sharsheret was the place I was meant to be. Thankfully, they felt the same way.
I did worry that immersing myself in the world of breast cancer might feel overwhelming. Sure, I anticipate difficult moments, but the word I would use to describe it now is not overwhelming, but empowering. I look forward to many year of empowerment!
After cooking and eating the equivalent of many Thanksgiving meals from Rosh Hashanah through the holiday of Sukkot, the last thing I want to do is "Talk Turkey" or "Talk Any Type of Poultry." Though in the spirit of the American idiom "Talk Turkey," on this American holiday of Thanksgiving, we encourage you to serve up a great conversation that sheds light on your family history.
As we know, in the general population, 1 in 345 individuals carries a BRCA gene mutation. In the Ashkenazi Jewish population, 1 in 40 individuals carries a BRCA gene mutation. Loosen your belt, and just digest that for a moment. Jewish men and women of Ashkenazi descent are at 10x greater risk of carrying a BRCA gene mutation that increases the risk for hereditary breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and possibly skin, colon, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, too. Many adults are not aware of their own family medical history. Learning your family history can empower you to take action and share important health information with your loved ones.
Since 2004, Thanksgiving has been declared Family Health History Day by the Surgeon General. This national public campaign encourages all American families to learn more about their family health history. We encourage all families in our Jewish community to collect and share information about your family health history with one another. On a day that focuses on gratitude, we can be thankful that we live in a time where preventative healthcare is integrated into standard health practices.
So the next time you ask Grandma to pass the turkey, have her include a healthy side dish of family history.
On November 2nd, 2014 I will be competing in the New York City Marathon. But this blog is not about me; it is much bigger.
Since taking on the challenge to race in the New York City Marathon for Team Sharsheret, I have received the utmost support from all over. Of course, my family and close friends have done an amazing job to encourage me. Be that as it may, I have been most humbled when less familiar hands have reached out: previous bosses, a former landlord who is now halfway around the world, and perfect strangers at my local dog park - who knows, maybe even you will after reading this!
This type of experience has illustrated just how widespread the effects of breast cancer and ovarian cancer is in my life. Many people along the way have told me that I am an inspiration to them; however, for me, it is quite the inverse.
In one such instance, the mother of one of my best friends reached out to me after she watched a marathon update video I had posted earlier that day. What she had to say blew my mind. "I had cancer and I had a choice on how I was going to deal with this disease. I did what I had to do…. You don't have to do this in order to survive and that is what makes you so amazing!"
Wow! She reminds me what true endurance is. Whenever I think about walking a mile in the shoes of someone like her, 26.2 miles doesn't seem so tough.
Please comment and let me know what you would like me to write about next entry! If you are feeling inspired, you can also visit my donation page here: http://sharsheret.donorpages.com/NYCTCSMarathon2014/DylanMax/
When Karin Charnoff-Katz, MD, was diagnosed with breast cancer, she entered the patient experience and left a changed physician.
On my way to work as a general radiologist in Memphis, I detoured to stop for a routine screening mammogram. I was 41 and a few months late for my second annual screening. I was not overly anxious. My white attending physician coat provided me with an illusory protective shield. I believed the coat granted me a special immunity of sorts. I did not even wait for an official read after the imaging, as I was in too much of a rush to get to work. It seemed at that phase in my life, I was always multi-tasking and perennially in a hurry. Between working, losing my mother and mother-in-law to ovarian cancer deaths at young ages, and having three small children at home, every moment was teeming with activity and responsibility. I often put on makeup in the mornings while stopped at red lights in my car. Maybe that explained my less than stellar driving record.

"I was thrilled to receive your breast cancer survivor kit. It literally made my day. The cookbook is fantastic, and the information provided will definitely help me during my survivorship journey. I keep my kit in the great tote bag and refer to it often. It is usually the first thing I look at if a question occurs to me. You all do wonderful work and this was so supportive to me. I will share it with other survivors as well as those beginning their journey."
- Joanne, Baton Rouge, LA
In September 2011, Sharsheret received a three-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a comprehensive survivorship program for young Jewish breast cancer survivors like Joanne. Three years later, after distributing more than 1,300 survivorship kits, conducting nearly 750 care plan navigation sessions, and hosting 5 national teleconferences, Sharsheret's survivorship program, Thriving Again, is doing just that – thriving.
Throughout the process of developing and implementing Thriving Again, Sharsheret conducted a series of evaluations on the needs and concerns of young Jewish breast cancer survivors. Sharsheret clinicians engaged in a comprehensive review of the literature regarding young adult cancer survivors and relevant support programs, surveyed more than 1,400 young breast cancer survivors to better understand their unique and unmet needs, and conducted four national focus groups of breast cancer survivors to collect feedback and identify priority concerns. Sharsheret presented this program development model and findings from the Thriving Again program at healthcare conferences across the country, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Business Meeting and the Academy of Oncology Nurse Navigators Annual Conference, where Sharsheret was presented with an award for our poster presentation in the "Original Research on Survivorship Programs" category. Through sharing our program model and data, Sharsheret advances survivorship care for all groups, and informs the development of new programs for survivors of breast and other cancers.
Looking toward the future, Sharsheret now offers consulting services and co-branding opportunities for healthcare professionals and those at medical centers nationwide who wish to develop similar culturally-relevant support programs for cancer survivors, and continues to provide survivorship kits and navigation services for the women of Sharsheret, like Joanne, who seek survivorship information and support.
To learn more about Sharsheret's consulting and co-branding services, contact Support Program Coordinator Sharon Stahl, LMSW or call 866.474.2774.
A diagnosis of ovarian cancer earlier this year was a life changing event. Fear, anxiety, sadness, body image issues, and short and long term effects of chemotherapy, only begin to touch on the myriad of worries which confronted me. Still, one of the most difficult things to deal with has been the not-so-surprising presence of a genetic predisposition (due to a BRCA2 mutation) to cancer. The thought that each of my four young adult children had a 50% chance of inheriting this gene was almost more than I could bear.
How does one deal with the guilt? How does one speak with her children about such an inheritance? Does one inform female and male children at the same time and in the same fashion? Does one give married and still unmarried children the same details? Does one advise her children to be tested as soon as possible? Will a positive BRCA2 test with all its implications interfere with a developing or even presently stable relationship? Can one avoid adding pressure to the lives of adult children when discussing the issues of marrying early and having babies as quickly as possible so that they may take advantage of risk reduction therapy at a young enough age to reduce the chances of ovarian cancer and breast cancer?
There are no standard answers to any of these questions; indeed the approach will surely differ for each family based on the individuals and the family dynamics. Several interactions have guided my thinking regarding these issues.
Firstly, I cannot say enough positive things about resources available through Sharsheret. Sharsheret's genetic counselor made herself available to me within a few minutes of my initial call and kept closely in touch. She pointed out several important concepts to me, including the ideas that: 1) I am not the only source of information for my children; 2) Each individual on the receiving end of the information must decide for him or herself how to proceed; 3) All of the information does not have to be discussed in one sitting– indeed the important thing is to keep the lines of communication open; 4) Difficult as this discussion must be, knowledge is empowering as it allows positive actions to be taken.
Secondly, a wise and spiritual friend focused my attention on the positive implications associated with this difficult discussion, namely: truth, trust, potential for decreasing uncertainty, and potential for risk reduction actions.
Finally, one of my children, aware of the pending issue, asked me straight out about the results of my testing, before I was ready to have the big discussion. When I made the result known to her and spoke with her about some of my concerns, I was amazed at the strength she imparted to me by her personal views.
I have yet to work through all the details, but I have gained understanding through learning as much as possible about the implications of the BRCA gene mutation, and through speaking with wise and trusted professionals and friends.
When my youngest daughter was four months old, I was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. With my newborn, I would go to chemo treatments followed by daily radiation. After radiation we would go to Gymboree because life needed to remain normal. It was a new normal, but just the same, it was my normal. I would then go and pick up my other three children from school and continue on with the day.
After surgery, chemo, and radiation, there was no evidence of cancer. The doctors thought we were home free. But as anyone with cancer knows, it can sometimes be a very tricky disease. After three and a half years of remission, we found that the cancer had returned. The cancer had spread to my liver and bones. I now had stage four metastatic cancer. The diagnosis and prognosis was confirmed with two doctors. That was eight years ago. There has been no evidence of disease for 2 years and 4 months! Yes, I have metastatic breast cancer but I am living with it. I have a wonderful full life with my husband and four kids. Three are now in college and the youngest is in 7th grade.
I have had 11 types of treatment and achieved success with some and failure with others. One thing I do know is that research is key to giving us all a fighting chance. The more treatments we have in our arsenal, the more chance for one to work. I also am not going to take my treatment lightly. I have blood work every 3 weeks and scans are done every three months. I fit cancer into my life. It works around my busy schedule. It is in the background of my mind but living is in the forefront of it. I believe in carpe diem every day. We were given this incredible blessing of life and I plan on living it for a very long time!
I arrived at Sharsheret for my first day of work, ready and willing to embrace my inevitable role as coffee-delivery girl, file organizer, data enterer, and performer of all such tasks typically delegated to the summer intern. However, as I dived into spreadsheets and media archives, a world began to unfurl before me. Now on the inside, I learned about navigating the inner-workings of a professionally run non-profit organization, while never losing sight of the target audience--the women we try our best to serve. I witnessed daily the fierce power, fueled by Rochelle's first brave initiative, of our network of women, staff, donors, and volunteers. Sharsheret's beauty is in its "chain," formed not by uniform links, but by thousands of diversely colored beads thoughtfully threaded together. Our dedicated staff cares passionately for women of all Jewish affiliations, stages of cancer diagnosis, and phases of life by offering cutting-edge support tailored to the individual needs of each woman, always deeply sensitive to the reality of living with a serious illness. Our mission is contagious, permeating the cubicles of Suite 2G on Teaneck Road to reach women and organizations nationwide.
Although my tasks consisted mainly of data entry, fundraising, filing, and research, I was privileged to interact with every member of the staff, each offering a particular skills-set and area of expertise. At the annual retreat, I spent time with the team outside of work and enjoyed a front-row seat as they outlined their vision for the organization's future. Powered by the commitment of a personally-founded non-profit and directed with the efficiency and strategy of Corporate America, Sharsheret holds a unique place amongst the many organizations in the Jewish and cancer communities. I am so thankful to the women and men of Sharsheret, both inside of the office and out, for the excellent learning opportunity and urgent call to action that will stay with me long after the leaves begin to fall.
"Anything you do that is small is not small at all," was the message of a breast cancer survivor who spoke at the annual Sharsheret Cake Wars event at Yeshiva University. This was my introduction to Sharsheret.
After Cake Wars, I attended Sharsheret walks, speaking engagements, and other events throughout my college experience. Since I learned how to help my father when he was facing cancer, I had a strong desire to help others in similar situations. Sharsheret's mission, to help Jewish women and families affected by breast or ovarian cancer, seemed like a great cause to help advocate for and support. Last fall, I began my Masters in Social Work degree at Columbia University, and I wanted to find something meaningful and stimulating to do for the summer.
When I was accepted as the Sema Heller – Netivot Shalom Summer Intern, I was excited to meet the staff that was responsible for this growing and successful organization. Over the summer, I worked on various projects that helped analyze and enhance the programs at Sharsheret. The most interesting project was working on the health care symposia. Reading through past transcripts and planning for upcoming symposia helped me gain a greater understanding of the current research and information available to women facing cancer and the many challenges they face when diagnosed.
I was also fortunate to meet Sam Heller. Mr. Heller, along with friends and family, established this internship in memory of his late wife, Sema, who passed away from breast cancer. Learning about Sema's strength and her desire to help others as she battled cancer was very inspiring and I am humbled to have had this internship in her memory.
I know that I will take the skills and information I have learned from Sharsheret and bring them with me in my career as a social worker. It has been an enjoyable and memorable summer experience working at Sharsheret and I look forward to hearing about continuous growth and progress in its future.

I hope that participation will offer mutual enlightenment.
I am interested in helping with course deconstruction.
My latest thought:
There are differences and similarities between VW and MMORPG. A VW is more like a canvas on which an educator can paint: a MMORPG is more like a carnival already set up -- not without its options.

For a multi-episode story arc. Can't wait!
Wonder if Michael Richards will be doing stand up?
WOW! Put those two casts together and you've got enough angst to support all of the psyco therapists in Beverly Hills for the next ten years!
Love it. I've recently started watching all the seasons of Curb on DVD. I finished the third season last night. I think the final episode of season where they open the restaurant is one of the funniest things I've ever seen (the one where they have the chef who randomly swears without knowing it, and then Larry yells out profanities, then all of a sudden everyone is just swearing arbitrarily). Only problem is I don't have HBO, so I'll have to wait for the DVDs.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
Not that there's anything wrong with this.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Pretty, pretty, pretty, prettttty good...... news.
Should be real funny. Anything with the Seinfeld cast will undoubtedly be.
I like Curb and Larry David, but sometimes, some episodes, I start to feel a little sorry for him, the way he gets the crap kicked out of him, constantly. But, I guess that's the point.
I'm not cool enough to have a good signature
I'll bet that Richards and Alexander jumped at the chance to do anything on TV that could be considered funny.
And previously I had thought that Jerry wasn't capable of doing something that wasn't funny, but then I watched him on 30 Rock a couple years ago and it suuuuucked.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Situational Hitting is Stupid
Most of the seasons are on DVD and can be gotten at discount price on Amazon.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Anybody with HBO OnDemand watched the behind the scenes special about the Seinfeld reunion (not a reunion) on Curb? I just watched it today. I didn't know what the story line was going to be for getting the Seinfeld cast back together until I watched it. Awesome.
I don't know if most already know, but they're making new Seinfeld episodes on Curb. They recreated the Seinfeld set, (Jerry's apartment, the coffee shop) and they brought everybody back. Newman, Banya, George's parents and others. From the few snippets of scenes that they showed it looks fantastic. I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a TV show. If you have HBO OnDemand it's well worth the 22 minutes to watch.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Situational Hitting is Stupid
I'm speechless. I am without speech.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Considering how close to the line they went in Seinfeld, it should be quite entertaining to see them cross those lines.
I think I will like this.
whisper words of wisdom
I wrote a book!

This might be the one thing that could get me to subscribe to HBO. Curb is one of the best things I've ever watched on TV.

Senate panel backs plan to increase prison rehab
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Democrats in the state Senate on Wednesday backed a plan to spend $200 million this year on rehabilitation programs instead of renting thousands of cells in private prisons and county jails to meet a federal court demand that California reduce its inmate population.
The rehabilitation proposal by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg is competing with the leasing plan by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown that would cost $315 million in its first year.
The federal court has ordered the state to reduce the prison population by an additional 9,600 inmates before the end of the year, part of a long-running court case aimed at improving inmate medical and mental health care.
The Senate Budget Committee advanced the proposal by Steinberg, D-Sacramento, which relies on getting court approval to delay the inmate-reduction deadline for three years and spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a variety of counseling programs that he says will lower crime rates.
The committee sent the bill to the full Senate on a party-line, 11-5 vote, with Republicans opposing it. An Assembly committee approved the governor's proposal last week with support from Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, and Republican leaders.
Brown called Steinberg's plan "an inmate release plan by another name, totally dependent on an illusory legal settlement."
"I will not turn over our criminal justice system to lawyers who operate at the behest of their inmate clients," Brown said, referring to Steinberg's call for the administration to negotiate a settlement with attorneys representing inmates.
Moreover, Brown said in a statement that Steinberg's plan would add to the burden of local governments already struggling with a 2-year-old law that is sending less serious offenders to local jails instead of state prisons.
The impasse among the state's Democratic leaders has led to confusion as the state moves to appeal the lower court's order to the U.S. Supreme Court. Lawmakers are racing for a solution before their scheduled adjournment next week, although Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, said the governor should call a special session to forge a compromise.
Democrats on the Senate committee said the governor is proposing to pour more money from the state's $1.1 billion budget reserve into a flawed corrections system that provides little rehabilitation, leading to nearly seven of every 10 convicts returning to prison within three years of their release.
The committee's chairman, Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, said he was disturbed that Brown wants to lease additional prison space that could ultimately cost the state billions of dollars in the coming years.
That is "hundreds of millions of dollars every year that could be spent educating our children," said Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley.
Republican senators said they would welcome a compromise that includes both an increase in prison capacity and increased spending on rehabilitation programs. But they took turns blaming majority Democrats for blocking previous efforts to build additional prison space and increase educational and vocational programs.
Steinberg has said he would not allow Brown's proposal to be debated in the Senate but told committee members that he would consider some increase in capacity as part of a comprehensive plan, particularly if the leased cells are mainly within California.
