Chronic depression is widespread. 15 million Americans are depressed and 28 million, or 1 in 10, are on some type of SSRI, including Prozac, Lexapro, and Paxil.
With the overuse of antidepressants, it's not uncommon to know at least one person that's taking them. Sadly, the root causes for the use of these medications are usually feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety, and despair. The problem is they are just a bandaid for much deeper issues.
None of these medications cure these emotions. In fact, many times they make them worse. Just read the side effects that are listed with the accompanying pamphlet that you get any time you fill a prescription. It's astonishing that people still swallow them on a daily basis knowing this, but there is a better way.
As with anything else, when nature takes over, the human body will heal itself of anything if given the chance. A diet rich in organic, whole foods is the key to balancing brain chemistry and aligning your mind with your higher self. Food such as kale, broccoli, sweet potatoes, turnip greens, legumes, raw nuts and seeds and nutrient-packed superfoods like raw cacao all help raise your awareness and bring about true healing.
Next time you find yourself reaching for these medications, try harnessing the power of the greatest medicine on earth instead - FOOD. Filling up on whole organic foods will boost your nutrition and clear your head. It might sound trite, but clean, pure whole foods that have not been genetically modified or altered are worth way more in time and expense than hours spent in doctor's offices, on dialysis, or on meds.
Join Wellness With Angela on July 28th @8pm EST for a FREE TELESEMINAR, The Antidepressant Anti-Cure: My Personal Story With Prescription Meds. SIGN UP HERE.

If you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with prediabetes, you may have a lot of questions. Understanding a prediabetes diagnosis is the first step to taking control of your risk for diabetes and making life choices that can reverse it. But what does prediabetes mean? Does it mean that you have diabetes? And is prediabetes less serious since it's only "pre" disease?
What is Prediabetes?
Prediabetes is just what it sounds like—it is the condition that occurs when blood sugar levels aren't high enough to qualify as diabetes, but are higher than normal. Depending on when your blood sugar is high, prediabetes is also known as Impaired Glucose Tolerance (higher than normal blood sugar after a meal) or Impaired Fasting Glucose (higher than normal blood sugar in the morning before eating).
Testing for Prediabetes
Three tests can be used to diagnose prediabetes: the AIC test (also called HbA1C, hemoglobin, or glycosylated hemoglobin test), a fasting blood glucose test, or the oral glucose tolerance test.
The A1C test measures how much sugar is attached to hemoglobin, a protein in the blood. This number can give you an idea of how your blood sugar level has been averaging over the last 2-3 months. You do not have to be fasting for this test. An A1C value of 5.7-6.4% is diagnostic for type 2 diabetes. Another A1C test to confirm the finding is recommended but depending on your history may not be required.
During a fasting blood glucose test, you will be asked to fast for a night, and your blood glucose levels will be checked in the morning before you eat anything. A measurement of 100-125 mg/dL is diagnostic for type 2 diabetes. It is recommended that this test is repeated to confirm the diagnosis.
For an oral glucose tolerance test, blood glucose levels are checked twice, once after a night of fasting and then two hours later after drinking a glucose-rich drink. A blood sugar level of 140-199 mg/dL two hours after drinking the glucose drink is diagnostic for type to diabetes.
For all of these tests, the higher the number the greater the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the near future.
Why Prediabetes is a Serious Problem
Prediabetes, is a serious chronic health condition that can increase your chances of developing diabetes, as well as other chronic diseases.
In prediabetes, high blood sugar levels are caused by insulin resistance, whereby the cells of the body are unable to use insulin correctly. Insulin resistance is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome, which can increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. People with metabolic syndrome have two times the risk for heart disease.
Many people with prediabetes have other risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome, such as low good cholesterol (HDL), high triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, and high waist circumference..
What You Can Do To Treat Prediabetes
Think of your prediabetes as a warning sign: it's your body's way of telling you to slow down and pay attention to your lifestyle, so that you can delay or even prevent the onset of diabetes.
The two key lifestyle changes that help manage and eliminate prediabetes are regular exercise and weight loss. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day and 5-10% weight loss can reduce your risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes by over 58%.
Getting Started
Regular exercise doesn't necessarily mean running a marathon or swimming for miles a day. Moderate exercise is any activity that raises your heartbeat to its "target" rate. Ask your physician for advice on how to determine your target heart rate. For prediabetes sufferers, moderate exercise for just thirty minutes a day can prove very beneficial by increasing your metabolism, helping you lose weight, and reducing your blood sugar levels.
Exercise such as taking a brisk, thirty minute walk will accomplish your initial workout goals. If you suffer from arthritis, then swimming is an excellent alternative to walking and high impact exercise. If you're struggling to find an acceptable workout, consulting an exercise specialist nutritionist or personal trainer to help you get started.
Setting realistic goals for your weight loss and writing down your nutritional and workout plans will allow you to hold yourself accountable and stick to your goals. Tracking your food intake, weighing yourself regularly, and managing your calorie intake can help you lose those unwanted pounds.
While a prediabetes diagnosis can be scary, it can also be a chance to become a true master of your health and lifestyle. Prediabetes is a warning—a very serious one—that allows you to overcome negative lifestyle choices and genetic predispositions that could lead to serious health problems in the future.

Link: Boss Slayer
Developed by Awoker Games
Sponsored by Arcadebomb.com
Genre: Shooter/Upgrades
FlashMush Reviews Rating: 7.5/10
Some games have a special mode called boss rush or something of the sort. Basically you fight in order all the bosses you normally would have fought in the campaign mode. Boss Slayer takes this idea and focuses a flash game just on it!
Now Boss Slayer isn't the first to do this but that doesn't mean it is any less fun to play than the originals. In fact Boss Slayer is just as insanely addictive as any other game I have played. It gains its addictive quality from the inherent fast paced boss battle gameplay style as well as the upgrade system. To keep you on your twos a pseudo time limit is enforced saying you must beat the game within 12 days, each turn is a day. The upgrades themselves are pretty basic but all you really want.
I guess the main question in a game of this sort is the difficulty. Overall I found the game to be quite easy. Could beat the whole game in less than 5 minutes it feels. However, while it is a ridiculously short game the difficulty curve is fairly well done...just still easy. I attribute this though to the ease of money gathering and therefore upgrades. Overall though Boss Slayer is a short game..but immensely fun.

Shelby Romine scored 18 points with six rebounds and four assists in Bucknell's win at Lehigh Wednesday night.
Jan. 23, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Two teams entered Wednesday night with unbeaten records in Patriot League play, but only one emerged with an unblemished mark.
Army survived Colgate 51-48 at Christl Arena while Navy ran away from American 61-42 in Annapolis to give sole possession of first place to the 4-0 Black Knights. The Mids are locked in a three-way tie for second with the Eagles and Bucknell, which won 53-37 at Lehigh, dropping the Mountain Hawks to 2-2 in the League.
The fourth winner Wednesday was Holy Cross, which improved to 1-3 in League play with a 60-55 victory at home over Lafayette. The Leopards and Colgate are both 0-4.
The next round of League games is Saturday. Three games take place at 2 p.m., with Bucknell hosting Holy Cross, Lehigh visiting rival Lafayette, and Army heading to American. Colgate entertains Navy in a 4 p.m. tip in Hamilton, N.Y.
Recaps of Wednesday's action are below.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Shelby Romine tied for the game-high with 18 points to lead Bucknell (12-7, 3-1) to a 53-37 victory at Lehigh Wednesday night at Stabler Arena.
Romine finished with 18 points and chipped in six rebounds and four assists. Alyssa Dunn poured in 13 points, and Audrey Dotson scored 10 with nine boards and a pair of blocks.
Kerry Kinek was a bright spot for Lehigh (10-9, 2-2) with 18 points, nine rebounds and five blocks, but overall the Mountain Hawks' shooting was nearly ice cold. Lehigh shot just 20.7 percent (12 of 58) from the field, with Kinek (6 of 17) accounting for half of the Mountain Hawks' buckets.
Both teams started cold from the floor, shooting a combined 12 of 56 (21.4 percent) in the first 20 minutes. Bucknell closed the first on an 8-0 run and took a 20-12 lead into the intermission.
Kinek sank two of her six foul shots on the night to bring Lehigh within 25-22 15:50 to play, and her jumper 58 seconds later edged the Mountain Hawks within 27-26.
Bucknell eventually worked out its shooting woes from the field in second. The Bison shot 45 percent in the second half and built a 35-28 lead with 10:26 on the clock following a pair of Dunn baskets.
After a Kinek deuce for Lehigh, Romine, Dotson and Felicia Mgbada combined for a 6-0 Bison spurt, giving them a 41-30 lead entering the under-8 media timeout.
Bucknell's lead hovered around 10 for the next several minutes before Romine singlehandedly scored the last seven points of the game in the final 1:29 to put the game away.
Bucknell shot 22 of 58 (37.9 percent) from the field to Lehigh's 12 of 58 (20.7 percent). The Bison were 2 of 10 from beyond the arc, while the Mountain Hawks were 2 of 18.
WEST POINT, N.Y. - Freshman led the way as Kelsey Minato and Aimee Oertner combined for 37 points and 16 rebounds in Army's 51-48 victory over Colgate Wednesday night at Christl Arena.
Minato, the reigning Patriot League Anaconda Player and Rookie of the Week, reached the 20-point plateau again with 22 points. Oertner posted a double-double with 15 points, 10 boards and four blocks for Army (15-4, 4-0), including a crucial rejection late that preserved a slim lead.
Jhazmine Lynch and Josie Stockill poured in 13 points apiece for the Raiders (6-12, 0-4). Missy Repoli hauled in six rebounds.
Army appeared to take control in the second half after a Minato triple put the Black Knights in front 41-35 with 12:45 to go. But Kelly Reid and Stockill provided a quick 4-0 Colgate spurt to cut the Army lead to just two. Shortly later, Catherine Lewis' 3-pointer brought the Raiders within 43-42 with 8:35 left.
Lewis did it again about seven minutes later, as she scored four straight Raider points to bring them within 47-46 with 1:32 on the clock.
The teams traded points after Minato hit a pair of foul shots, and Colgate's Mariah Jones replied with a jumper with 1:02 to go.
Colgate got the ball back down one after an Army miss. But Lynch's layup chance was blocked by Oertner, and Olivia Schretzman was fouled a short time later and hit both foul shots.
Lynch's 3-point bid to tie was off the mark.
Army won despite shooting just under 36 percent from the floor. Colgate shot 32 percent, including 4 of 23 from beyond the arc.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Holy Cross' streak is safe for now.
Alix Membreno led all players with 17 points and Jade Geif had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead Navy to a 61-42 victory over American Wednesday night at Alumni Hall.
Kara Pollinger chipped in 13 points for the Mids (10-9, 3-1), who rebounded from Sunday's loss to snap the Eagles' 18-game win streak in regular-season League play. Holy Cross' record is 20 straight.
Geleisa George led the Eagles (10-8, 3-1) with 13 points, and Sarah Kiely had 10, both off the bench. American's leading scorers Alexis Dobbs and Jen Dumiak, who average nearly 25 points per game combined, scored five and two points, respectively. In all, Eagle starters accounted for just 14 points.
American struggled from the field in the first half, amassing 15 points on 7 of 31 (22.6 percent) from the field. Kiely had eight of her 10 points in the first 20 minutes.
The Eagles had trailed at halftime in each of their previous three League games, and had rallied in the second half to win. But Navy opened the second half on a 6-2 spurt and maintained a double-digit lead throughout most of the rest of the game.
Kiely scored to bring American within 41-31 with 8:31 to play, but Geif replied for Navy with two straight scores to swing the momentum back in Navy's favor.
The Eagles would pull within 11 on a Dobbs trey with under four minutes left, but Membreno tallied the next seven points and Navy closed the game on a 10-2 run to pull away.
American shot just 19 percent from the field and hit only 1 of 11 from the 3-point line. The Mids were just 2 of 16 on treys, but finished shooting 45 percent overall (24 of 53).
at Holy Cross 60, Lafayette 55
WORCESTER, Mass. - Amy Lepley led Holy Cross with 17 points and seven rebounds as it held off a depleted Lafayette lineup 60-55 Wednesday night at the Hart Center.
The Leopards were without junior center Danielle Fiacco, who did not make the trip because of an illness, and Brya Freeland, who was kept out of the lineup because of a bad back. In addition, sophomore forward Emily Homan, usually a starter, was limited to just seven minutes off the bench because of flu-like symptoms.
Brisje Malone added 14 points for Holy Cross (9-10, 1-3), while Alex Smith chipped in 12, all from downtown.
Kelly Loughney and Linnel Macklin tied for the Lafayette team lead with 12 points apiece. Kristan Liddle hauled in a team-best seven rebounds.
It was all Holy Cross early, as the Crusaders opened the game on a 13-1 run. Alicia Manning's 3-pointer capped off a Lafayette comeback, as the Leopards were down 18-15 with 9:26 left in the first. Holy Cross replied with the next seven points and held the lead into a 33-24 halftime advantage.
The Leopards (7-12, 0-4) came out firing to start the second, with Samantha Jordan giving them a 36-35 lead at the 15:44 mark. Lafayette grew the lead to 43-38 with 12:43 to play on an Ashley Springer 3-pointer.
After Holy Cross cut the deficit to two, Lafayette orchestrated a 7-0 run with Madeline Fahan's jumper capping the spurt to give it a 52-43 lead with 6:41 to play.
The Crusaders roared back after calling a timeout. Lepley started the comeback with a layup, and Malone converted a three-point play. Another Lepley layup and a Smith 3-pointer followed to put the Crusaders up one. It turned into a 17-0 run over a 6:30 period as Malone capped it off with a pair of foul shots to give Holy Cross a 60-52 lead with 22 seconds to play.
Holy Cross outrebounded Lafayette 40-31, and finished the game shooting 43 percent to the Leopards' 37.

College Hockey:Late Surge Powers Mavericks
MANKATO, Minn. — Dusty Sedars
Late Surge Powers Mavericks
It took a little of last year's magic for Minnesota State to gain its first conference win of the season.
After six come-from-behind wins in the third period last year, the Mavericks (2-4-1, 1-2-0 WCHA) replicated that formula to overcome a 2-1 deficit in the third and defeat Alaska-Anchorage, 3-2, Friday night in front of 3,577.
"It was kind of a hint of last year," MSU captain Shane Joseph said. "We came out right away and put pressure on them, and we got a couple of bounces and the puck went in the net."
"I thought we played very well in the third period," Mavericks coach Troy Jutting said. "We came out with some determination and some heart. Especially with a team as young as we are, I think that will do a lot to help our confidence for the future."
Minnesota State outshot the Seawolves 15-4 in the third.
"Guys were ready when we went out for that third … We put it to them," Joseph said.
MSU was led by Joseph's two goals and Jon Hart's game-winner. UAA (3-4-0 overall, 0-3-0 WCHA) received two goals from Curtis Glencross in the losing effort.
Leading 2-1 in the third, the Seawolves came close to putting the game away just 35 seconds into the period. Sophomore Chris Fournier fired a shot from the right circle, but the puck struck the post. The goal would have put UAA up by two, but the Mavericks took advantage of the missed opportunity.
At 4:13 of the third, Joseph tallied his second goal of the night and fourth goal of the season to tie the score. Off a turnover in the UAA zone, Maverick freshman Kurtis Kisio found the puck on a three-on-one down low. He slid the puck to Joseph on the left side who fired the puck past UAA's Kevin Reiter.
With 8:32 left in the game, Hart finished off the hard work of his line mates. After Dana Sorenson and Rob Rankin beat Seawolf defensemen for the puck, Rankin fed Hart in front of the net. The junior one-timed the puck for his second goal of the year.
"They did the dirty work," Hart said. "All I had to do was put it in. It was a great play by them."
Said Jutting, "Jon's the epitome of a hard working kid who just keeps battling and battling and battling. If you do that in anything in life, you're going to be successful.
"I don't know how many career goals Jon has, but I would venture to guess 75 percent of them are game-winners. But he's a deserving kid. Kids who put in the time like that, a lot of times good things will happen for them."
Fournier had a chance to score the equalizer with under two minutes left in the game, but MSU goalie Jon Volp stopped his backhand chance in front of the net to preserve the victory. The win was Volp's first in six attempts this season.
Joseph opened the scoring at the end of the first period. After a turnover by Reiter, Kisio found Joseph on the right side of the net. The senior made a turnaround shot that seemed to be heading wide of the net, but UAA defenseman Mark Smith deflected the puck as he dove in front of Joseph. The puck bounced past Reiter and into the net for Joseph's third goal of the year at 19:11 of the period.
Joseph's two-goal night came after he went four games without registering a point. The NCAA returning scorer never went more than one game without a point last year.
"Shane will score, it's just a matter of time," Jutting said. "It was nice to see him kind of break out tonight."
The Seawolves tied the game on another crazy bounce midway through the second. On a three-on-two rush, Smith took a shot from the slot. He shot hit teammate Ales Parez and bounced over to the left side where Glencross put the puck in at the 12:11 mark.
Less than a minute later, Glencross notched his second goal of the night and third of the year. Justin Bourne took a shot from the left side, and Volp, who lost his stick, made the initial save. However, Glencross was standing at the doorstep and easily put the rebound past the Maverick goalie to give UAA the lead at 13:05 of the second.
"Curtis is a very passionate hockey player," UAA coach John Hill said. "He goes hard at the body and he goes hard to the net, and when you do that, you're going to create chances not only for yourself but for your lines mates. I'm very happy with his play and happy to see him rewarded."
Hill thought his team played a good game but was upset with the turnovers that led to MSU's third-period goals.
"The tough thing to take is the third goal especially," Hill said. "It was a faceoff we won in our own zone. We had two defensemen who were out of position and created the turnover, and then we left the guy wide open in front of the net for the easy goal. That's tough to take, but you're going to make mistakes like that when you have as young a team as we do."
The Seawolves dressed three freshmen, two sophomores, and one junior on defense.
"You don't want to use that as an excuse, but sometimes it is what it is," Hill said.
Jutting was happy for the win, but he still thinks his team has a lot to improve on, including capitalizing on chances.
"We got just enough to win tonight," Jutting said. "We need to score more than that if we get those kinds of chances."
"This is tough to swallow," Hill said, "but we just need to regroup and get ready for tomorrow night."
The two teams will finish the series Saturday night with game time set for 7:05 p.m. (CT).

SEATTLE (AP) — Federal immigration agents are now checking fingerprints of everyone booked into local jails in Washington.
Washington became the 34th state Tuesday in the program known as Secure Communities.
The Seattle Times reports it allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to check the prints against a national immigration database. The goal is to deport those who have committed serious crimes.
The program expands one ICE already operates nationwide that allows its officers to check jail booking names.
Officials say the program has helped deport 129,000 convicted criminals since 2008.

Feb. 26, 2004
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- The 2004 Pac-10 Diving Championships got underway in impressive fashion for Arizona State as Joona Puhakka and Trisha Tumlinson each won conference titles. Puhakka dominated the field in the 1-meter, scoring a 381.20 in the finals to secure an almost 50-point victory to defend his conference title in the event. For the women, Tumlinson captured her first league crown by winning the 3-meter with a school-record score of 520.95, bettering Katrina Pfeuffer's 516.70 set in 2000.
For the sophomore Puhakka, he defended his crown with confidence to claim his third conference title in two years. He is the reigning title holder in the 3-meter to be held tomorrow. Other Sun Devil men at the meet include junior Gordon Blukis, junior Thomas McCrummen and sophomore Brant Bingham. Blukis advanced to the final round where he finished seventh with a score of 272.05. McCrummen placed tenth overall (266.30) and Bingham placed 14th (244.85), scores that were registered in the day's prelims.
Tumlinson overwhelmed the field in the 3-meter after finishing fifth in the afternoon preliminaries. The junior's win in the final round came by a margin of better than 40 points. She was the only Sun Devil to advance to the final round, yet all other ASU competitors scored at the meet. Senior Jessica Stenson finished 10th (404.70), freshman Cassidy Farwell placed 16th (343.20) while junior Nicole Zukowski came in 18th (339.05).

Redshirt-sophomore forward Whitney Bibbins was named Conference USA Player of the Week after scoring 13 points, pulling down five rebounds and blocking a shot on Sunday at LSU.
Dec. 10, 2012
NEW ORLEANS - One day after celebrating a happy homecoming during the Green Wave's 66-64 overtime win at LSU, Tulane University women's basketball standout Whitney Bibbins was named Conference USA Player of the Week the league announced on Monday.
A redshirt-sophomore forward from Baton Rouge who spent her days as a prepster on the LSU campus at University High, Bibbins tied for team-high scoring honors with 13 points including a pair of free throws with 10.2 seconds left in the extra period to help put the game away. The weekly honor was the first of the season for a Tulane student-athlete and the second of Bibbins' career as she claimed C-USA Freshman of the Week distinction on Feb. 22, 2010.
Nine of Bibbins' points came after halftime and her two free throws in overtime capped a 9-0 run that saw the Green Wave turn a 62-57 deficit into a 66-62 lead. In addition, she added five rebounds and a blocked shot to the Tulane effort. Her swat came in the final minute of regulation when she blocked a would-be layup by LSU's Bianca Utley to preserve a 53-53 tie and send the game into overtime.
For the season, Bibbins is averaging a team-high 10.4 points per game to go with 4.8 rebounds 1.0 assist and 0.7 blocks per contest. She missed all of last season and the first three games of the 2012-13 campaign due to injury, but has made up for lost time with four double-digit scoring contests in the last five outings.
Bibbins and the Green Wave return to action on Dec. 19 when Tulane plays host to Louisiana-Lafayette at 11 a.m. in Devlin Fieldhouse. That will be the first of a six-game homestand as Tulane will play North Texas on Dec. 22, host the Tulane/DoubleTree Classic on Dec. 29-30, battle Loyola on Jan. 7 and open the Conference USA portion of its schedule against SMU on Jan. 10.
For tickets to those contests, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

Sunday, March 2, 2014 was the 110th anniversary of the birth of Theodor Geisel, the author and illustrator of children's books, most of which were written under the nom de plume Dr. Seuss,[1] and editor of the Random House imprint Beginner Books. This year, as the 2nd of March fell on a Sunday, the National Education Association (N.E.A.) celebrated the 17th Read Across America Day (R.A.A.D.) on Monday, March 3, 2014, and so did the U.S. Government.
In fact, President Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. issued a proclamation on Friday, February 28, 2014 that March 3, 2014 was Read Across America Day.
Literacy is the foundation of every child's education. It opens doorways to opportunity, transports us across time and space, and binds family and friends closer together. When parents, educators, librarians, and mentors read with children, they give a gift that will nourish souls for a lifetime. Today, Americans young and old will take time to get lost in a story and do their part to cultivate the next generation of talent and intellect.
This day is also a time to honor the legacy of Theodor Seuss Geisel, known to us as Dr. Seuss. Countless Americans can recall his books as their first step into the lands of letters and wordplay. With creatures, contraptions, and vibrant characters, they have led generations of happy travelers through voyages of the imagination. Yet his tales also challenge dictators and discrimination. They call us to open our minds, to take responsibility for ourselves and our planet. And they remind us that the value of our possessions pales in comparison to that of the ties we share with family, friends, and community.
From children's stories to classic works of literature, the written word allows us to see the world from new perspectives. It helps us understand what it means to be human and what it means to be American. During Read Across America Day, let us celebrate, rediscover, and engage our children in this wonderful pastime.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 3, 2014, as Read Across America Day. I call upon children, families, educators, librarians, public officials, and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-eighth.
LaVar Burton (Roots, Reading Rainbow, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Perception) explains in this YouTube Reading Rainbow video that Theodore (Dr. Seuss) Geisel's birthday is Read Across America Day, and mentions "March is a month of celebration for those who like books." In the video, posted March 2, 2014, Mr. Burton reads four poems from "I Am The Book" Poems selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins, which is illustrated by Yayo.[1]
Renaissance Dental is 2014 National Sponsor is the of N.E.A.'s Read Across America program, Cat-a-Van tours, and state affiliate grants. N.E.A. Member Benefits created a new online Seuss Store to sell Dr. Seuss products including reading awards, pencils, and decorations.
Four partner organizations help qualifying schools and students acquire print or digital books by Dr. Seuss (and other writers) at little-to-no cost. First Book is a non-profit organization that provides free and low-cost books to schools and programs that serve children from poor families. First Book Marketplace also sells books and educational materials at a deep discount.
We Give Books is a new initiative from Penguin Group and the Pearson Foundation that enables any adult with Internet access to allow children to read books online. The Heart of America Foundation revitalizes elementary school libraries and donates books to schools and programs that serve poor children through its Books from the Heart program.
Reading Is Fundamental (R.I.F.) is the largest children's literacy non-profit organization in the U.S. It has given away 400,000,000 books to 35,000,000 children since its foundation in 1966.
The N.E.A.'s Mary Ellen Flannery reported "45 million students, parents, and educators celebrated NEA's Read Across America this year." N.E.A. President Dennis Van Roekel told schoolchildren at Roosevelt School in Livonia, Michigan on Monday, March 3, 2014, that R.A.A.D. was being celebrated "in schools like this one, and also in libraries, community centers, and even in Congress and the White House today."
Ms. Flannery wrote, "This year…the 17th NEA's Read Across America Day was celebrated March 3 as NEA's popular Cat-a-Van Reading Tour rolled into the Detroit suburbs."
As part of the three-week long reading tour, which was co-sponsored by Renaissance Dental, thousands of books and hats have been distributed to public school students. Renaissance Dental also provided $500 to each of the schools visited to stock their library shelves with new books and reading materials. Also, at every stop, hundreds of student took the "reading and brushing oath," pledging to read each day and brush each night.
This year, the N.E.A.'s Cat-A-Van tour reached eight states: Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas.
[1] LaVar Burton hosted every episode of Reading Rainbow (1983-2009) on P.B.S. In 2011, Burton and business partner Mark Wolfe acquired the Reading Rainbow license. They setup a Reading Rainbow Web site with a blog and launched a Reading Rainbow app (computer application). Their company, RRKidz, now holds the global rights to Reading Rainbow with the P.B.S. station that produced the show, WNED-TV in Buffalo, New York. RRKidz also holds the rights to other children's brands and will be launching new apps in 2014.

Whatever is Contained Must Be Released
Growing up an Orthodox Jew in Brooklyn, Helene Aylon spends her Friday nights in a sea of extended family as the Sabbath candles flicker. She dreams of escape but marries a rabbi and becomes a mother of two. Suddenly her world splits apart when she is widowed at thirty. Aylon finds a home in the burgeoning environmental art scene of the 1970s—creating transgressive works that explore identity, women's bodies, the environment, disarmament, and the notion of God. Eventually she asks of Judaism what she never dared to ask as a child: Where are the women?
Examples of Aylon's work included are her early doors for the Jewish chapel at JFK airport, her peace pillowcases (including one worn by Grace Paley), and her current search for the links between feminism and Judaism
"Never afraid to question sacred texts, ancient rituals, and religious bias—Aylon is a role model for all artists. Whatever is Contained is an arresting tale of uncommon courage, intelligence, and wit."

A visit to the in-laws....
Sunday, August 21, 2011
Ok, so we went to the in-laws for the weekend. Some of you may know the story of what happens when we go down there. Basically, the food is now where near healthy and since the the town is one of those "blink and you might miss it" towns, exercise is limited to walking. However, watch out for the burning of trash, yard waste and EVERYTHING else.
Since we hadn't been in a while, we decided to stay for two nights and hope our allergies survive. We rushed so we could have dinner with them...usually, pizza, chili, burgers or spaghetti and sometimes accompanied by dole iceberg salad mix, Italian FF dressing, mild full fat cheddar cheese and maybe some canned over-salted green beans cooked in bacon grease. Just spaghetti and garlic bread this time.
Then in the morning we ventured out for a local breakfast buffet. My hubby used to go to this place with his grandparents when he was a kid and now they have a breakfast buffet on Saturdays. It was ok, but about 70+ calories and no fruit in site, of course. Biscuits and gravy, my mother in law said they were powdered eggs, french toast sticks, greasy pancakes, hash brown triangles, home fries, bacon and sausage links. We were full. I got back and entered my food and the hubby and kids took off for a treasure hunt/walk.
The birthday party we came for was at 1pm and turns out it wasn't accompanied by lunch, only chips and dip and cake and ice cream....lovely. We didn't eat. So, what a great lunch for us. Dinner was a fundraiser at my father in law's school he's been volunteering at. They had bland meatloaf, powdered mashed taters, baconized canned green beans, very creamy and sweet cole slaw, a roll and then dessert. Drinks....tea, lemonade or the local water (bad by itself so you better flavor it).
I had brought my Kellogg's Protein Plus cereal for breakfast and ate that on Sunday! MORE SPAGHETTI for lunch. We went home after that.
During the time we are there we usually take a few walks because otherwise we would be sitting on the couch just watching t.v. all day. We love our family, but we usually have to detox after getting back.
I can't imagine eating that way everyday and not exercising like I do. I am so grateful for the wonderful opportunities I have in my life and the mindset have developed. I now crave healthy food and exercise. I am looking forward to the gym tomorrow. Looking forward to eating salad, hummus, veggies and drinking water and unsweetened decaf tea! What a wonderful amazing life I have.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
A 3-D whole body imaging technique applied to visualize bacterial trafficking in tumor-bearing mice has demonstrated the potential for harnessing nonpathogenic bacteria as vectors for the targeted delivery of cancer therapies. Researchers at University College Cork, Ireland, and colleagues, used 3-dimensional bioluminescent imaging (BLI) combined with micro-computed tomography (μCT), to track harmless lux-expressing commensal bacteria including E. coli K-12 MG1655 and Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003, administered intravenously to mice bearing subcutaneous Fluc-expressing xenograft tumors. Mark Tangney, M.D., and colleagues describe their approach and results in PLoS One in a paper titled "High Resolution In Vivo Bioluminescent Imaging for the Study of Bacterial Tumour Targeting."
BLI traditionally used as a 2-D modality provides no depth of information, whereas the 3-D imaging approach reported by the Cork team is capable of revealing the precise location of lux-expressing bacteria within tumors, and also enables visualization of tumor vasculature when a contrast agent was used.
For example, their studies of bacterial trafficking and tumor targeting in mice showed that while 2-D imaging data could only show that B. breve bacteria were distributed throughout the tumor, combining 3-D BLI with μCT analysis to interpret the images revealed that there was in fact a pattern of multiple, nonuniform clusters of bacteria within tumors. This was confirmed by histological analysis, which demonstrated the presence of B. breve in clusters, sited particularly in the less viable, hypoxic regions of the tumor mass.
Importantly, as well as demonstrating the utility of the imaging approach to precisely track bacterial trafficking in vivo, the research also verifies the potential to use nonpathogenic bacteria for the potential delivery of agents to tumor sites, the authors state. Preclinical work to date has focused largely on engineered pathogenic strains, and in particular Salmonella typhimurium.
The researchers note that in the context of gene and cell therapy, nonpathogenic bacteria vectors would act not as transfection agents, but instead replicate within the tumor stroma, external to tumor cells. This therapeutic strategy is more akin to cell therapy approaches, as the bacterial expression of therapeutic genes such as, for example, anti-angiogenic or immune modulating factors, would occur within the environment of the tumor, rather than within the tumor cells.
"Overall, we demonstrate the potential for nonpathogenic bacteria as vectors for cancer therapy," Dr. Tangney et al conclude. "Analysis of reporter gene activity from these strains not only demonstrates their potential as safe and noninvasive vectors, with the potential to deliver therapeutic or diagnostic agents systemically, but furthermore underlines the significance of BLI and μCT co-registration as tools to advance this concept."

At my open house this weekend a couple came through and were in the middle of a 1031 exchange. As this is something I am very familiar with we had a nice discussion about what exactly like property is and where the best place for them to exchange would be in the East Bay.
Now a number of other people were also at this open house at the same time and did not know what a 1031 exchange is so today I thought I would share some of an article by Leonard Spoto from the Asset Exchange Company.
In a nutshell a 1031 exchange is when the seller of an investment property defers their capital gains taxes on the sale provided they buy another property or properties to hold as investment.
A basic premise of 1031 exchange is that the taxpayer who sells relinquished property must be the same taxpayer who buys replacement property. This usually means that the vesting is the same for both the relinquished and the replacement properties. For example, John Doe's name is on title to both properties involved in the 1031 Exchange.
However, there may be times when the party involved in the exchange would like to make a change in how the replacement property is held. For example, John Doe is on title to the relinquished property, but would like to take title to the replacement property in an LLC.
This is only allowable if the LLC is treated as a pass through entity, disregarded for tax purposes. The tax ID for the LLC will be the taxpayers social security number and there will be no need to file a separate return for the LLC.
This works for an LLC, but also for a revocable living trust, since living trusts are also pass through entities for tax purposes.
The rule of thumb regarding a 1031 Exchange is to maintain the same taxpayer. The taxpayer who sells relinquished property needs to be the same taxpayer who buys replacement property, regardless of the vesting.
Strict adherence to the legal requirements of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code is required for a successful exchange. Investors should be aware of four basic requirements when entering into a delayed exchange, and should seek the advice of a tax accountant or attorney to ensure proper adherence to the tax code. The four basic requirements for a successful exchange are:
1. Property Qualifications
The internal revenue code states that the properties involved in an exchange must be held for productive use in trade or business or for investment, and they must be "like-kind".
2. Timeline
The IRS provides a maximum of 180 days to complete an exchange. The timeline begins upon the close of escrow (COE) of the relinquished property. The new property (or properties) must be acquired on or before midnight of the 180th day. No Exceptions! In addition, the IRS requires that all potential replacement properties be identified by midnight of the 45th day of the exchange.
3. Identification
Identification of all potential replacement properties is required on day 45 of the exchange. Identification must be in writing and the description of the properties must be unambiguous. The IRS provides two rules for identifying replacement property:
The 3 Property Rule
The 3 Property Rule allows for identification of any three properties, of any price, anywhere in the United States.
The 200% Rule
The 200% Rule is an option for identifying more than three properties. With the 200% Rule, four or more properties can be identified. However, the combined value of all properties identified cannot exceed 200% of the property sold.
4. Tax Deferral
To defer 100% of the capital gains tax liability, two requirements must be met
a. Reinvest all the Cash - all the cash that was generated from the sale of the relinquished property must be reinvested into the new property or properties.
b. Purchase Equal or Greater in Value - the new property (or properties) must be equal or greater in value to the property sold.
If you would like more information about 1031 exchanges email me at email@example.com I like to connect with my readers via Facebook, my website, or follow me on Twitter @americafoy

We are running SAP CRM 7.0. We are using the opportunity module as well as "Create Follow Up" (Sales Order / Quotation) so that you have a one to many relationship (1 opportunity may contain many sales orders). I have 2 custom fields inside the Sales Cycle (Quotation) module "Actual Sales Order Value" and "Current Points".
What I am trying to do is take these 2 custom fields and add them to the assignment block called "Linked Transactions" in the Opportunities module. But when I look at all the available fields for this assignment block these 2 custom fields are nt available.
I do not see any way of adding these 2 fields to this assignment block. The only thing I see is "Create NEw Field". But I do not want to create a new field I just want to reference 2 fields from the Sales Cycle module inside of this assignment block.
Does anyone knowif it is possible to add 2 custom created fields that are i the Sales cycle module to add them to the opportunities assignment block that is called linked transactions ?
If those attributes are not available as per your business demand, then in that case it's wise to create new attributes from AET which is very easy and user friendly. This will resolve the issue as well.
No I dont think you understand the question. I do not want to add new attributes, the attributes already exist in the Sales Order (Cycle / Quotation) module. That is an opportunity contains a follow up, a follow up to us as a business term is called a quotation. In this quotation I have created two new custom fields: Actual Quote Value, and Current Points.
So what I want to do is if I go back to the opportunities module there is a sub assignment block called "Linked Transactions" which shows all the quotations of an opportunity. But the assignment block shows some basic fields like the referenced Quotation ID, a date, etc. What I also want to show on this assignment block is the Actual Quote Value and Current points.
How do I go about doing something like this ?
Please check the .htm page of the view where you would like to show these two new fields. There will be a context node which primarily forms the assignment block structure. Incase your fields are added to the mentioned context nodes then all you have to do is to pull those from available to displayed column from the UI Configuration.
Harshit, Are you reading my issue correctly? It seems you may be thinking the issue is something else.
The problem is these fields do not display as "Available" fields so that I can move them over to the "Displayed" side.
That would be simple issue and I would not post the question on the forum.
Again the issue is these are custom fields within the Sales Order (Quotation module) but i need to display them in the assignment block "Linked Transactions" which is in the Opportunities module (Totally different module).
Am I making sense or do you need screen shots? Is it possible to post screen shots on this forum ?
Tell me what are the context nodes available in the 'Linked Transactions' assignment block and whether or not they relate to the context node that contains the custom fields within the Sales Order (Quotation module).
Im new to SAP CRM 7.0 can you tell me what you mean by this. What I have is an opportunity that is created. An opportunity is in our business known as a possible sale. So within an opportunity at the top of the header section is a link "Create Follow-up". We use this link to create a sales orderr that is attached to the opportunity. In the database world one opportunity contains many quotations.
So then I create my quote and I enter a value for actual quote value, and current points (these are custom fields within the Sales Order module / Quotation module). So now once I save this quotation if I go back into the SAP CRM Search and find this opportunity and click on it. I can then scroll down and I see the assignment block known as Linked Transactions.
I think this was a standard assignment block but was renamed. In the configure page I see that the assignment block component is BTDOCFLOW and the VIew Name is VTDOCFLOW/HdrWindowOVE.
So now all I want to do is show the actual quote valuie and the current points in this assignment block. Is that possible?
Are you aware of transaction called BSP_WD_CMPWB? I am wondering how you created the custom fields without knowing this.
You create the custom fields using the application enhancement tool, you do not have to do it in the gui...
I am running SAP CRM 7.0...
That is the recommended way to add new fields to the interface.
I guess you need a basic understanding about BSP WD Component workbench(the transaction I mentioned) before you can start doing anything.
Follow the help sites and search for Web UI related materials.
Why is the recommendation from SAP to create fields within the actual UI framework using the AET tool (The web based tool) then? So you are saying without knowledge of that transaction it is not possible to do what I want to do?
If its just creating fields AET works great. But unfortunately BSP_WD_CMPWB is the backbone of web UI development/configuration. This is a must before you can do anything. Where do you expect to put your code should need to enhance the standard processing unless you know the basic architecture?
I agree but I've heard from lots of SAP folks that the AET UI was the place to make changes and to avoid the backbone.
But maybe you are right...ok so I am in this and it looks similiar to the AET tool. i can go to a view and then select my configuration and I can see my screens here.
But my question is more about the assignment block. Can an assignment block of the component BT111H_OPPT display custom fields from the Sales Order (Quotation) module?
I just noticed that the subassignment block was called "Transaction History" but we just copied this configuration for the customer namespace and renamed the assignment block to "Linked Transactions". So linked transactions = transaction history... so what I am trying to do in this assignment block called transaction history is to display 2 custom fields from the Sales Cycle (Quotation Module).
It can, if it refers to the same business object/context nodes. When you double click on the view, you should be seeing three tabs in the right hand side work area, the first of them being 'View Structure'. In side this, you need to look for Context extend this till you see context nodes. Context nodes are linked to Business Object layer and stores several attributes. The fields that you see on UI are any one of these attributes depending on the component/view combination.
For your case try to locate the context node that you used in your quotation(the component and view would be different and you may remember this from AET and you need to select this there as well). And also check if the context node is available in OPPT component or not. If its there then the problem is greatly reduced but if its not again we'd have to create the fields.
Wow prasenjt...
I understand it now I do see it in both Opportunities(BT11H_OPPT) as well as Quotations(BT115QH_SLSQ).
When I go into Opportunities then I expand views, then I go to the view (BT111H_OPPT/Details) I am not sure if I need to go to his one or not but I did (please correct me if I am wrong here). So when I go to this I can see the context on the right side and I go to context node and BTADMINH is there in opportunities as well as quotations.
So it is available I think...so how do I proceed. Thank you so much I am learning!
If the field is available, then go to the config tab in the cmp wb. Click on the button 'Choose Configuration' and select the one that you see on UI (you might need to do an F2 in the UI AB to get this info). Go to edit mode and add the fields to the 'Displayed Fields' from the 'Available Fields'
The issue is which view do I need to be on, because right now I am on th Details view.
I need to add these fields to an assignment block not the header, but I do not see the "Transaction History" assignment block as a view...
Do an F2 on the 'Transactions History' assignment block to see which component and view it corresponds to.
If I go to configure page I see all the displayed assignment blocks.
This assignment block is under the component BTDOCFLOW with view name: BTDOCFLOW/HdrWIndowOVE
I think i mentioned this earlier in the thread?
But again this is the componnt for the assignment block not the header....
To recap I have created 2 custom fields using the AET web tool:
These are custom fields:
Label Name: Actual Quote Value
Label Name: Current Points
So the CRM system gave them these field names. These fields are located in the Sales Transaction or "Create Follow-Up" after creating an opportunity. So I can create a sales transaction (which we call quotation). I enter the data as well as the Actual Quote Value and the Current Points.
Now I want to go back to my opportunity, and look at my assignment block called "Transaction History". It appears this assignment block is created with component BTDOCFLOW and view name BTDOCFLOW/HdrWindowOVE. So I can see this assignment block however in this assignment block I only see fields like Activity Partner, End Date, Start Date, etc. I would like to add those custom fields that I created called "Actual Quote Value" and "Current Points". But I do not see them to be selectable when I try to configure the page.
How can I get these two fields created within BTADMINH and should be seen by the opportunities module in this assignment block??
Prasanjet Sharma, are you still around?
I know I must be getting close but no luck. I tried to right click on the context attributres and add them to the "Design Layer" but when I go back to the user interface and I try to configure the assignment block those fields still do not show up.
Can anyone please help me with this :(.
Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about: http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5636/107201052643pm.jpg
That one is a screen shot inside of the opportunities module / component. Also I am posting the quotation module (Sales Cycle) where these 2 fields are shown here: http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/1457/91284342.jpg
So notice these 2 fields should be placed inside of the transaction sub assignment block (We renamed this to Linked Transactions. So how can I get these 2 fields there?
Edited by: Hermiz Jon on Oct 7, 2010 11:39 PM
Is there really no one who can assist me with this issue? I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot use 2 custom fields from my sales order module in a assignment block in my opportunities module? Please anyone out there that can assist me ?
Lets put it this way. The fields that you have in the quotations header block would not be available in the doc flow block under opportunity. So either you need to add the context node, BTADMINH, in docflow or create the same z-fields again or try using 'create Re-usable field' in AET to add the same fields to the DOCFLOW context node.
However, you need to do some coding to fetch the values into it as these would not be populated by themselves.
Ok so I have a question, instead of transaction history is there an assignment block I could use that displays only the sales orders / quotations that would then allow me to use these custom fields being that it is all from BTADMINH?
Is that possible?
Thanks for your patience
You can do it anywhere the BTADMINH is displayed within that page. But obviously, the coding cannot be avoided.
I guess I Dont understand what you mean. A sales order is just the many side relationship of an opportunity.
So if I have an opportunity created for a customer, that opportunity can contain MULTIPLE quotations (Sales orders).
To me there should be an assignment block that is standard that displays all sales orders for an opportunity.
Is this not the case ???
Thats why the Doc Flow is used. You would not see the details of a sales order/quotation in an OPPT screen, there are specific pages to display them. You would only have link to navigate to them from the OPPT screen.
If you want to add details for the follow-on documents you need to do explicit development to achieve that.
Hope I am clear.
I resolved this issue finally.
This was not as difficult as I thought.
I had to go into the component workbench.
Do a "new" for the attributes section and add a model value. Then I started at BTOrder and followed the GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER eventually using the relationships to get to the field. Then I added a simple piece of code that I was missing.
Here is a good reference thread:

If you are already a fan of Paul Hobbs, you already know about the quality of wines he produces. If not, then one you want to try is the Crossbarn 2013 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. This is a delightful Chard and is representative of the fine wines Hobbs consistently places in the market.
The 2013 Chardonnay is a light and well balanced white. For those who are looking for a heavily-oaked Chardonnay, this is not your wine. However, if you are looking for a Chardonnay which is not only easily drinkable but also adaptable to pairings with a variety of dishes, this is one to choose.
The 2013 Crossbarn was directly from the Sonoma Appellation. These grapes were handpicked and processed whole cluster. The berries went directly from vine to press, no layover times were involved prior to the actual press.
After the whole cluster press, 80% of the juice was fermented in stainless tanks, 20% went to French oak barrels. As is usual with Paul Hobbs, the fermentation was 100% malolactic.
The 2013 Chardonnay benefited for a good growing season. Even temperatures throughout the Spring and Summer gave the berries a constant opportunity to get maximum growth. Prior to harvest, the vines had proper shade and benefited from the great weather. Harvest was done with the berries being picked at their prime.
The bottling for the 2013 Chardonnay was completed in March, 2014. With the wine stored for 6 months prior to bottling, it comes across as a fruity, and as previously stated, lightly oaked Chard. On the nose, the 2013 speaks of pear, and on the palate, a sensation of apricots.
This is a delightful wine and Paul Hobbs has once again produced a very drinkable, light and enjoyable Chardonnay. It is worth seeking out at your favorite wine store; you will be delighted when you indulge.
Have a winederful day!

Dolphins Wrap: OTA movers and shakers
At this point I can not say definitively if the Miami Dolphins will be going after Rams free safety O.J. Atogwe, who becomes an unrestricted free agent at midnight.
I suspect Atogwe's asking price – which I'm hearing is $7 million a season – will be an issue, especially since the Dolphins weren't willing to pay Antrel Rolle more than $6 million per year.
But I can tell you Dolphins coach Tony Sparano voluntarily pointed out he's been pleased with the progress he's seen from Chris Clemons, last year's fifth-round pick, who is getting auditioned as Gibril Wilson's possible replacement.
Last week I told you Clemons is working hard to become more vocal around his teammates, especially on the field. And this past weekend I told you his play as the starting free safety has been fairly steady.
So steady he's caught the attention of his head coach, and secondary coach Todd Bowles, who praised Clemons' minicamp efforts.
"Chris just needs reps," Bowles said. "He sees things and retains things very well. It's just a matter of having that experience that allows you to make plays. The more comfortable he gets out there the more vocal he gets. He's going to be alright. I've seen a lot of positive things. Between him and Reshad (Jones) it's going to be aq healthy competition."
Sparano said Clemons had 256 scrimmage plays during OTA sessions, and minicamp practices so far. That's more than any other player considering Clemons takes both first-team, and third-team reps. But more importantly, Sparano points out Clemons has made "minimal mental mistakes" in those snaps.
That means the former Clemons standout knows his assignments, and typically does the right things when the ball is snapped.
These are all positive steps in the right direction, things that hint the free safety job MIGHT not be too big for Clemons….
Tailback Ronnie Brown looks healthy and fit. He hasn't been limited one bit by the foot injury he suffered last November.
The foot's not stressing Brown, and neither is the fact the Dolphins decision makers haven't offered him a long-term contract, putting him in a play-for-pay situation.
Considering Brown's missed 25 percent of the game's he's played in his five seasons with this franchise, is that a fair approach? Is it the right approach for this 27-year-old?….
Channing Crowder got into the mix during team drills for the very first time during Tuesday's OTA session. The Dolphins are slowly working him in, and Crowder vows he'll participate in training camp come August.
Crowder admits he feels pressure to maintain one of the starting inside linebacker spot, especially with Tim Dobbins learning Mike Nolan's new terminology, and concepts on the field while he's serving as a makeshift tight end or fullback.
Considering Sparano shook his head as if to say "NO" repeatedly when tap dancing around my question if Dobbins could push Crowder for the starting spot opposite Dansby, I don't think Crowder has too much to worry about if he's healthy come September….
Speaking of linebackers, I've been puzzled why Cameron Wake has spent so little time with the first-team defense (one practice) during the offseason work we've seen, but Sparano told me don't read too much into it considering Wake has taken more snaps at weakside linebacker than any other linebacker.
Wake might be slotted behind Charlie Anderson, who is holding on tight to one of those two starting outside linebacker spots, but he's getting plenty of sub package work….
Koa Misi and John Jerry have been the rookies who have consistently worked with the starters all minicamp and OTAs, which left many of us wondering about defensive end Jared Odrick, the team's first-round pick?
We asked Sparano about it today and he said Odrick lined up with the first-team during short yardage work today. I'm guessing he'll be used as a first-teamer in that sub package. It'll be interesting to see if he eventually pushes Phillip Merling for his starting role.
However, I found it interesting that Paul Soliai spent some time working as the starting nose tackle today while Randy Starks replaced Merling as the starting right side defensive end.
Sparano pointed out Soliai's conditioning and body fat percentage aren't issues, but he did say he needs to see more consistency from nose tackle project, who is entering his fourth season trying to master that position…..
For the rest of Tuesday's OTA observations and discussions check out the LIVE report the Sun-Sentinel has compiled.
And I'd like to formally announce that I'll be on with 560AM host Sid Rosenberg today at 5 p.m. so you can listen to me share my observations with Sid, who usually gets me to say something I'll regret.

Nov. 5, 2011
Recap | Final Stats | Notes
Washington State vs. Lewis-Clark State - Nov. 5, 2011 - Beasley Coliseum (Pullman, Wash.)
Exhibition Game
Final Score: WSU 88, LCSC 41
Washington State Quotes
Head Coach Ken Bone:
On the exhibition game...
"The key things we were looking for tonight were to execute some things we were working on the last month on both ends of the court, to get guys some minutes that have never played here in a game situation, and third to try and stay injury-free because we were kind of banged up heading into tonight. I think we accomplished all three."
On the newcomers...
"All-in-all I thought our kids that have not played here before did a good job. Like you just mentioned; Dexter, Mike, DaVonté, D.J. did some good things. I think we made some strides tonight."
"It can help to give them some minutes and give them some experience. We know what Abe, Faisal and Reggie can do. We need to find out what some of these other guys can do in game situations and tonight helped us evaluate them."
On feeling prepared for Gonzaga...
"They're too good to feel prepared for at this point. We'll go in there and do the best we can but we know what we are up against. You need more than a scrimmage and an exhibition game against Lewis-Clark State to prepare you for Gonzaga. We will work hard and prepare ourselves best we can and see what we can do."
Junior Guard Mike Ladd:
On playing after sitting out last year...
"It felt pretty good. Last year was a long year for me, having to sit out and watch my teammate play their hearts out, out there, but it felt pretty good."
On the newcomers...
"I thought they did pretty well, especially DaVonté. He was attacking pretty well. With Reggie out he did pretty well running point."
On what the team needs to do...
"Just keep the intensity and our hard work on the defensive end. I think we rebounded pretty well today, just our work ethic."
Freshman Guard DaVonté Lacy
On what he'll take away from the game...
"I don't really want to take away anything offensively because defense wins championships and that's what we want. I want to just focus on defense as a team and individually. I need to move my feet faster, slide into the gaps. As a team we just need to have good help side. I think we did tonight and I hope we can continue that throughout the season."
Junior Forward Brock Motum
On the team's strengths...
"I think all across the board we've worked hard this offseason. I think our guards are our main strength this year. They played really well tonight, DaVonté, Mike. Once we get all our guards back we'll be really good."
