Should You Campaign Your Breeding Stallion?
October 25, 2013
Five things to consider while managing a horse-breeding competitor.
From The American Quarter Horse Journal
In today's highly competitive market, a great-looking stallion with a winning competition record presents an irresistible package to mare owners.
But how do you add that show record to the package?
A stallion owner or manager might see great conformation and athletic ability in a young colt, but it can be a real challenge to uncover the youngster's capability to focus on a show discipline – or just about anything, that is, except what stallions naturally focus on!
Or, if the horse is unusually mature, ready, willing and able, there's the challenge of finding a trainer who suits the horse and a show schedule that is compatible with a limited breeding schedule. The most successful campaigns set reasonable goals that everyone involved can support and work toward.
So where to begin? For suggestions, we recruited two horsemen who have successfully campaigned unproven stallions: Bill Myers of Myers Training Stables in St. Onge, South Dakota, home of the legendary Frenchmans Guy; and Chance O'Neal, trainer at the historic Four Sixes Ranch at Guthrie, Texas. They offered down-to-earth, reality-based suggestions.
"If you're going to take your stud out on the road to promote him," Bill says, "you'd better have a pretty good idea that he's going to do something special, or it's just best not to campaign him at all."
Here are the five important considerations that a stallion owner should address before heading out on the campaign trail.
Chance rode Sixes Pick to AQHA's first versatility ranch horse world championship. On both the top and bottom of Sixes Pick's pedigree (Tanquery Gin-Natural Pick by Tenino Badger), he represented important Four Sixes cow horse bloodlines that the ranch likes to promote. Top bloodlines are marketable, and a stallion owner should be familiar with his stallion's pedigree.
When it came to athletic ability, the sorrel stallion could easily do all the things a versatility ranch horse must demonstrate in competition: trail, cutting and ranch work.
"He's a natural athlete," Chance says, "And I was lucky: Joe Wolter put the early training on him, then I got to have all the fun."
Are you ready to start a breeding program? In the Equine Breeding Techniques report, get tips on stallion selection, signs of foaling and much more. This resource is great to have on hand for new breeders or seasoned veterans.
In competition, Chance knew that if the stallion stayed near the top in the versatility standings in performance, he was a top contender to win the ranch conformation, and in 2008, Sixes Pick did just that, clinching the world title.
There's no substitute for athletic ability and solid conformation, and no way to disguise it if it's not there. But perhaps the most important characteristic of all is invisible to the eye.
Both trainers think a stallion's temperament is crucial to a successful campaign.
"Each horse is an individual," Bill says. "You need to adjust your training program to strengthen his weaknesses and bring out his best. But if you plan to campaign while breeding him, a good mind is a necessity.
"You need to establish control and discipline before you start any campaign," he adds. "One stallion that we're campaigning now, A Smooth Guy (Frenchmans Guy-Docs Movida by Dry Doc), has always been a mellow, easy-to-get-along-with colt, so I felt we could breed him on a limited basis as a 3-year-old, while taking him to roping events. It has worked well, so we're planning to enter him in AQHA events in the future.
The Right Trainer
Bill suggests that if an owner is not personally showing the colt, that owner needs to do some homework before selecting a trainer to campaign him.
"It's important that they handle your horse the way you want," he says. "And that the trainer is compatible with your horse and likes him. We've all heard stories about colts that were sent away, then didn't get ridden. If a trainer doesn't like your horse in the first place, it's just human nature for them to (instead) saddle up and ride a horse they like better. It's essential that you trust your trainer."
Bill also suggests that owners make themselves familiar with a trainer's skills.
Know the needs of the consumer to successfully market your stallion. In the Equine Breeding Technique report, get invaluable insight into a mare owner's mind as he or she thinks about breeding.
Pick a Schedule
Both Bill and Chance say scheduling a young stallion's limited breeding season amidst a demanding show schedule is a delicate balance.
"Some people rush horses to suit the calendar rather than the horse," Bill says. "Frankly, a lot of horses are wrecked by the futurity schedule and just can't go on to have a full, long-lasting career and a productive life.
"People using their horses for rodeo and ranch seem to look more at the long view," he observes. "I like to see horses trained with less hurry-up and more thought to longevity. A seasoned, finished barrel horse is worth a lot: $100,000-plus. If your young stud is breeding and needs a little time off the road, give it to him. In the long run, it's well worth it."
Chance notes that the breeding season for ranch horses at the Four Sixes is usually the end of March until June. So early in the year, he works with Dr. Glenn Blodgett, the ranch's horse division manager, to plan a show schedule for his performance stallions that allows for collection every other day.
Communicate Your Goals
Finally, Bill suggests that owners and trainers discuss the goals of their stallion's campaign. Plan a breeding and show schedule that is compatible with keeping the horse happy and healthy, and your clients satisfied.
Like studying a roadmap before a trip, the best path to the goal will become apparent with everyone on the same page. Then, keep the lines of communication open and your eyes on the prize.

Sun., Jan. 23 - UW vs. Oregon State, 1:00 p.m. PST (Fox Sports Northwest)
KeyArena (17,072), Seattle, Wash.
Thurs., Jan. 27 - UW at Stanford, 7:30 p.m. PST
Maples Pavilion (7,391), Stanford, Calif.
The Washington Huskies (6-11, 1-4) seek to halt a four-game losing streak when they complete a brief two-game homestand against Oregon State (9-6, 1-3) on Sunday, Jan. 23. Tip-off is 1 p.m. at KeyArena in downtown Seattle where the Huskies will play all of their home games this season while their on-campus arena is undergoing a one-year renovation. Washington won the last seven meetings against the Beavers, its longest winning streak in the series since a 10-game stretch that ended in 1953. After defeating UCLA in their Pac-10 opener (63-62) the Huskies lost their last four games, their longest losing streak since a five-game skid in 1995. Included in the current losing streak were a pair of two-point overtime setbacks at home against USC (81-79) and Oregon (76-74) along with losses at Arizona State (90-80) and No. 2 Arizona (69-62). After Sunday's game, Washington visits No. 3 Stanford on Thursday, Jan. 27. Ten of the 17 Husky games to date were played on the road, a hectic travel schedule of over 14,000 air miles.
TV/Radio Coverage: Washington's game against Oregon State will be televised live at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Fox Sports Northwest airs the telecast with play-by-play from Tod Pickett and color commentary by Dave Harshman. All Husky men's basketball games are broadcast live on KOMO Radio (AM 1000) and its affiliates by play-by-play announcer Bob Rondeau. The radio broadcasts can be accessed via the internet at: http://www.audionet.com/schools/washington/
Luton's Got the Range at Home: Senior guard Deon Luton has quickly warmed up to the Huskies' new home at KeyArena. Luton was the leading Husky scorer in all seven home games to date while he has yet to be the team's top scorer during any of 10 road contests. He has registered 20 points on six occasions this season, only once away from KeyArena. Luton is averaging 22.3 points at home while shooting 52 percent from the field (55-106) and 51 percent (22-43) from 3-point range. Away from home those figures drop to 10.9 points per game, 29-percent shooting from the field (34-117) and 25-percent accuracy on treys (12-49). Luton had a similar disparity last season, averaging 18.6 points at home while shooting 51 percent from the field and 41 percent on 3-pointers. On the road during 1999, Luton averaged 10.9 points, shooting 37 percent from the field and 28 percent on treys.
Notable: Oregon shot 57 percent on Thursday, joining Oklahoma State (60%) and New Mexico (55%) as the only three opponents to reach the 50-percent plateau this season against Washington ... 6-9 senior forward Chris Walcott leads the team in 3-point accuracy, hitting 50-percent (11-22) of his trey tries ... Senque Carey distributed 11 assists against UCLA and 10 at Alaska Anchorage, the 28th and 29th double-digit assist performances in Husky history ... The Jan. 6 game against UCLA marked the only time in eight games that the Huskies have overcome a halftime deficit to win the game ... Newcomer Will Perkins, a junior transfer, leads UW in rebounds (6.6 rpg) and blocked shots (20).
Injury Update: The Huskies have steadily gotten healthier after suffering five injuries during their final non-conference road trip , Dec. 29 through Jan. 2 in New Mexico. Following is a list of the currently injured Huskies and their projected status for Sunday's game against Oregon State.
o Thalo Green - Probable. Sprained MCL in left knee during USC game (Jan. 8). Started the last seven games.
o Grant Leep - Out indefinitely with sprained MCL in right knee suffered at end of New Mexico State game (Dec. 30).
o Chris Walcott - Probable with sprained left knee. Missed one game, at New Mexico State (Dec. 30).
The Oregon State Series:
o Washington has a 138-127 lead in the all-time series that began in 1904. The Huskies current seven-game winning streak is their longest in the series since a 10-game stretch that ended in 1953.
o The Huskies swept the last three season series over Oregon State, their first three-year sweep in the history of the series.
o Washington boasts a 93-36 all-time record against the Beavers in Seattle where the Huskies won the last six meetings.
o Fifth-year Oregon State Coach Eddie Payne has a 1-7 record against Washington.
o Seventh-year UW coach Bob Bender has a 10-2 record against OSU.
Last Meeting: Washington 82, Oregon State 69 (Feb. 11, 1999, Corvallis, Ore.) -Todd MacCulloch scored 23 of his 24 points during the final 25 minutes of the game, helping Washington deal Oregon State its first home defeat, an 82-69 decision at Gill Coliseum. The Beavers (11-10, 5-7) had won their first 10 home games, including upsets of top-10-ranked Arizona and UCLA. Washington (15-7, 8-4) won its seventh straight against OSU and completed three straight season sweeps of the Beavers for the first time since the series began in 1904. The Huskies opened a 14-2 lead as OSU missed its opening six and 13 of its first 14 shots. The Beavers rallied to tie the game 24-24 on a Josh Steinthal 3-pointer with 4:34 left in the half. MacCulloch scored six points to fuel a 15-3 run that gave UW a 39-27 halftime lead. Washington outscored the Beavers 20-4 right after intermission, including 11 points from MacCulloch. That surge gave the UW its largest lead, a 59-31 margin with 11:28 remaining. Senque Carey posted his first double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies who also got 18 points from Donald Watts. Steinthal finished with 18 points and Deaundra Tanner had 17 for OSU.
The Season to Date: Washington opened the season with a win for the sixth straight season, defeating Saint Mary's 73-60 in Moraga, Calif. The Huskies traveled to Anchorage for the Great Alaska Shootout where they defeated the host Seawolves 86-70 in the opener. UW lost three straight games, placing fifth in the Shootout after setbacks to Georgia Tech (82-65) and Xavier (81-65) before losing at UNC Wilmington (68-59). The Huskies stopped a three-game skid with a victory at Old Dominion (78-70). That was the third Husky road victory, matching their total last season when they had a 3-9 road record. After six straight road games, UW dropped its Dec. 13 home opener to No. 22 Gonzaga (76-66). The Huskies' four-game homestand included a win over Wichita State (61-47), a loss to No. 13 Oklahoma State (84-72) and a win over Boise State (72-57). UW suffered an overtime setback at New Mexico State (79-75) and lost at New Mexico (78-52) to cap the non-conference season with a 5-7 record. The Huskies upset No. 24 UCLA (63-62) in the Pac-10 opener, their third straight home victory over the Bruins. USC posted an overtime win (81-79) over the Huskies, beginning a four-game losing streak. The Huskies were swept in a road trip to Arizona State (90-80) and No. 2 Arizona (69-62) before losing 76-74 in overtime to Oregon in their last outing.
Home Away From Home: The Huskies will play all of their home games in KeyArena at Seattle Center this season while Hec Edmundson Pavilion is being renovated. The Huskies won 746 games in The Pavilion since it opened on Dec. 27, 1927, more than any other school in its current arena. Washington tallied a 49-9 record on its home court the previous four seasons. The UW has a 6-4 record in home games contested away from Edmundson Pavilion since that 1927 season, including a 3-4 mark at KeyArena this year. The Huskies upset 11th-ranked New Mexico 70-61 on Dec. 24 last season in their only prior game at KeyArena. Washington also played two games in the Kingdome, beating Notre Dame 63-61 in double overtime on Jan. 9, 1984 and Old Dominion 71-61 on Dec. 22, 1995. Washington's on-campus venue, Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, is scheduled to re-open next season with a seating capacity of 10,000.
Season Preview: Bob Bender is in his seventh season at Washington, seeking to direct the Huskies to their third straight NCAA Tournament berth and fifth consecutive postseason appearance overall. Only once in school history have the Huskies appeared in three straight NCAA Tournaments (1984-86). UW lost 59-58 to Miami (Ohio) in the first round of last season's NCAA Tournament, ending a 17-12 season. The Huskies finished fourth in the 1999 Pacific-10 Conference standings with a 10-8 league ledger. In pursuit of an NCAA bid, Bender must find a way to fill the void left by the departure of a pair of 1,000-point scorers, 7-foot center Todd MacCulloch and Donald Watts. Three starters return, including the backcourt duo of senior guard Deon Luton, who owns every school 3-point scoring record, and sophomore guard Senque Carey, a member of the 1999 All-Pac-10 freshman team.
Last UW Game - Oregon 76, UW 74 ot (Jan. 20, 2000, Seattle): Alex Scales scored six of his 17 points during overtime, including the final two baskets that sealed Oregon's 76-74 victory over Washington at KeyArena. Oregon (12-3, 3-1) won in Seattle for the first time since 1996. Washington (6-11, 1-4) forced the overtime as Thalo Green scored the final four points of regulation. Green rebounded and put back a teammate's miss with 1:19 remaining and scored in the lane at 0:27 to tie the score at 66-66. The Ducks led 72-70 before Scales hit a runner in the lane with 1:16 left in overtime and then responded to a Senque Carey basket with another basket from the lane to secure the win. Carey hit a 15-foot jumper with six seconds left, but the Huskies were unable to foul any Oregon player on the ensuing inbounds play as time expired. Bryan Bracey was the only Duck reserve to score, pouring in a game-high 23 points on 10-for-10 shooting from the field. Oregon shot 57 percent (28-49), including a 4-for-5 performance in overtime. Bracey also grabbed seven rebounds to lead a 29-24 Duck advantage on the boards. Deon Luton had four 3-pointers and scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half to help the Huskies build a 32-29 advantage. Luton was limited to only one field goal after intermission. Carey scored 14 points for Washington which also got 13 from Thalo Green and 11 from Michael Johnson. Frederick Jones had 19 points for Oregon.
Century Club: Last year Deon Luton became the 27th player in Washington history to reach the 1,000-point career scoring plateau. He currently has 1,301 points to rank 16th among UW career scorers. He needs 14 points to surpass George Irvine (1968-70) and move into the No. 15 position.
Hair Raising Experience: Thalo Green realizes his hair is getting a little out of control. Green, who had a nearly shaven look last season, now possesses long, curly red locks. The Husky junior plans to go without a haircut until the end of the current season, at which time he will shave it off and donate it Wigs for Kids, an organization affiliated with the American Cancer Society which uses such donations to make wigs for cancer patients.
Bender Bio: Bob Bender has participated in the NCAA Tournament at every school with which he has been affiliated, including the last two with Washington. He has a seven-year record of 91-95 with the Huskies, capped by a 17-12 ledger in 1999 that marked the school's fourth consecutive winning season. The 1998 Huskies posted a 20-10 record that marked the school's finest winning percentage since 1985. Among the 1998 Husky highlights were their first 20-win season since 1987, their first NCAA berth since 1986 and their first Sweet 16 appearance since 1984. The 1997 UW team posted a 17-11 record, capped by the Huskies' second straight National Invitation Tournament appearance. Washington's record improved four straight seasons under Bender, including a 16-12 mark in 1996 after which he was voted the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. The UW was 5-22 in 1994 and 10-17 in 1995. His 91 victories rank fourth among all-time Washington coaches. Bender, who began his career with a four-year stint at Illinois State (1990-93), has an 11-year career record of 151-152. His Illinois State squads were 60-57, earning two Missouri Valley Conference championships, one conference tournament title and an NCAA Tournament berth in 1990. Prior to his inaugural head coaching assignment at ISU, Bender served as an assistant on Mike Krzyzewski's Duke staff (1983-1989). The Blue Devils qualified for the NCAA Tournament in each of Bender's six seasons on the staff, including four trips to the Final Four. Bender, 42, is the only individual to play on two different teams in the NCAA Championship game. He was a freshman on Bobby Knight's undefeated 1976 Indiana team and played point guard at Duke from 1977-80, including an appearance in the 1978 title game against Kentucky.
Shuffling Starters: Washington has implemented five different starting lineups this season. The Huskies used the same starting lineup for nine of the first 10 games of the season before a knee injury to senior forward Chris Walcott forced a change. Junior Thalo Green, who had 17 career starts entering the season, replaced Walcott in the lineup. Only two players have started every UW game, guards Senque Carey and Michael Johnson. Senior guard Deon Luton, who started all 29 games last season and all 30 games the previous year, had a string of 64 consecutive starts snapped at Old Dominion when Greg Clark started in his place because of a coaches' decision.
Meet the Press: Bob Bender conducts weekly media meetings every Tuesday at 10 a.m. in the basketball meeting area (room 221) located on the second floor of the Graves Building on Montlake Boulevard.
The Stanford Series:
o Stanford holds a 55-53 edge in the all-time series that began in 1916. The Cardinal swept last year's season series for the second straight year.
o The Cardinal won the last four meetings and 10 of the last 12 against UW.
o Stanford has a 39-14 advantage over the Huskies during games played in California. The Huskies lost in their last six visits to Maples Pavilion, last winning at Stanford 68-67 on Jan. 30, 1993.
o Stanford's Maples Pavilion and UCLA's Pauley Pavilion are the only two Pac-10 arenas at which seventh-year Washington coach Bob Bender has not won. o 14th-year Coach Mike Montgomery has a 19-8 mark against UW.
o Husky coach Bob Bender has a 2-10 record against the Cardinal.
Last Meeting: #7 Stanford 89, Washington 57 (Feb. 18, 1999, Seattle) -Mark Madsen led five double-figure scorers with 15 points as seventh-ranked Stanford matched its biggest win ever against Washington with an 89-57 victory at Edmundson Pavilion. The 32-point margin matched the Cardinal's largest triumph in the series, an 87-55 win in 1991. The Huskies (15-9, 8-6) lost at home for the first time in 11 games. They had a 14-game home winning streak snapped with their worst home loss in 10 years, since a 106-66 setback against Oregon State in 1989. Arthur Lee and Kris Weems chipped in 14 points apiece for Stanford (21-5, 11-2) which hit 51-percent of its shots (38-75) while limiting the UW to 36 percent (19-53). Mark Seaton added 12 points. Jarron Collins had 10 rebounds to lead a 48-25 Cardinal dominance on the boards. A total of 18 offensive rebounds enabled Stanford to get 22 more shots (75 to 53) than the Huskies. Donald Watts tallied 18 points to lead Washington which also got 13 points and 10 rebounds from Todd MacCulloch. The Husky 7-footer did all of his scoring in the first half and did not attempt a shot during the final 21:51 of the game. Michael Johnson scored 11 UW points. Trailing 13-12 midway through the first half, Stanford scored 12 unanswered points en route to a 45-31 halftime lead that steadily grew after intermission.
Carey the Catalyst: Sophomore point guard Senque Carey is a versatile player who is clearly the catalyst of the Husky offense. He led the team in assists during 12 games, topped all Husky scorers on six occasions and was the top UW rebounder three times. Carey is second on the team with a 13.4-point scoring average. He ranks fourth in the Pac-10 with 5.3 assists per game. Carey set a school record with a perfect 7-for-7 performance from 3-point range at Old Dominion. He broke the single-game 3-point percentage mark and tied Deon Luton's single-game trey standard of seven. Against UCLA he distributed 11 assists, the highest total for a Husky since 1993. He had 10 assists at Alaska Anchorage, giving him two of the 29 double-digit assist efforts in Husky history. Carey thrived under difficult circumstances last season, culminating in his selection to the 1999 All-Pac-10 Freshmen Team. He was thrust into the starting point guard role for the final 17 games due to the season-ending foot injury to Dan Dickau. Carey responded with double-figure points in 11 of those games, including a season-high 19-point total at Arizona (Jan. 9) that he matched against USC (Jan. 28). He averaged 11.2 points during Pac-10 play. Carey was a catalyst for a vastly improved offense that averaged eight more points a game with him at the helm. He led the Huskies in scoring three times and was the team's top assister on 11 occasions in 1999. His 94 assists placed him second among all-time UW freshmen, trailing only the 103-assist total of Eldridge Recasner (1987). Carey had a double-double at Oregon State on Feb. 11 (18 points/10 rebounds).
Husky Talk: Tune in to KOMO (1000 AM) every Monday night at 6 p.m. for "Husky Talk," a half-hour call-in and interview show featuring head coach Bob Bender and KOMO Radio's Bob Rondeau.
Frequent Flyers: The Huskies have accumulated thousands of air miles the last few seasons. They covered over 13,000 air miles during eight non-conference road games this year. Washington traveled nearly 10,000 air miles during a two-week span from Nov. 21 to Dec. 5. The Huskies flew from Seattle to Moraga, Calif. (782 miles), from Moraga to Anchorage, Ak. (2,227) and from Alaska back to Seattle (1,445). After two days at home, the Huskies boarded a plane for Wilmington, N.C. (2,460) where they took a bus to Norfolk, Va. and flew back to Seattle (2,585). In 1998, Washington traveled to South Alabama for a single game. Later that year the Huskies criss-crossed the country twice during the 1998 NCAA Tournament. UW flew from Seattle to Washington, D.C. for the first two rounds, returned to Seattle for one day and flew to Greensboro, N.C. for the Sweet 16. In 1999, UW amassed over 8,000 miles during a 10-day stretch, traveling from Seattle to Hawai'i to Chicago and back to Seattle.
Wonderful Walk-On: Senior forward Chris Walcott has worked his way from former walk-on into the starting lineup for the Huskies. He is the only player among the 50 full-time starters in the Pacific-10 Conference who joined his team as a walk-on. Walcott leads the team in field goal shooting (49%) and ranks third in rebounding (4.6 rpg) and fourth in scoring (9.9 ppg). Walcott poured in a career-high 22 points at Alaska-Anchorage. As a senior as Sammamish High School he earned all-state honors and scored 29 points during his team's loss in the 1995 Washington state championship game. His only scholarship offers came from small division I schools, including New Hampshire, and division II schools like Seattle Pacific. Husky coach Bob Bender convinced him to walk-on at Washington and he was granted a scholarship following his first season. "When you evaluate a player's career, any player, you like to look back and see that they made progress and improved every year," Bender explains. "Chris has done exactly that. He started as a walk-on, became a role player, was a significant contributor last year and now he is one of the key players on the team."
Sonics & Sons: Two former Seattle SuperSonics have sons on the 1999-2000 Washington basketball roster. The list of former NBA players (and sons) includes, Fred Brown (Bryan) and Lonnie Shelton (Marlon). A graduate of Iowa, Fred Brown is the Sonics' all-time leading scorer with 14,018 points. Brown played his entire 13-year NBA career in Seattle and was a 1976 all-star. Lonnie Shelton was a 1975 All-Pac-8 Conference selection at Oregon State. He played 15 NBA seasons and was a 1982 all-star. Shelton played from 1979-83 in Seattle. Brown and Shelton were members of Seattle's 1979 NBA Championship squad. Two other former sons of Sonics were on the team last year, Donald Watts (father Slick) was a four-year letterman and walk-on Michael Westphal (father Paul) transferred after his freshman year to Bellevue (Wash.) Community College.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Following are summaries of the three players who signed letters of intent to Washington during the early letter of intent period in November. They will join the Huskies next season. Two of the players, Curtis Allen and C.J.

With the job market stuck in neutral, and the cost of college going through the roof, graduation these days means long-term penury for many, even if they somehow manage to find work in their fields.

Verse 1
I was afraid to spell
And I know that you where too
If we try there is nothing to lose right now
There's just me and you
(put your lips like this)
I always remember, I can not believe
But my baby, you showed me
You showed me that is real
I've never felt this way
I love you, I love you
I've never felt this way
Baby you, you show me the way
Verse 2
I tought you were just for a night
But you seemed to be much more
I felt something insïde my heart
What your eyes could show

Praise Richmond announced on Aug. 15, that "Preachers of L.A." will return to television for a second season. Six mega-pastors in California are the same ones who were on the series during its first season. These pastors are Bishop Noel Jones, Minister Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Jay Haizlip, Pastor Wayne Chaney, and Bishop Ron Gibson. They are all set to move forward with season two of their television show on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 10 p.m. ET on Oxygen.
Viewers and fans of the series can catch up on what has been going on with the pastors since the first season ended. A source reports that the first season of the hit show had church people talking about the popular series whose executive producer is Deitrick Haddon. People were critical about preachers airing their dirty laundry on television. They debated whether this was good or bad for Christianity.
During this upcoming season, fans of the show can expect to see a deeper look into the human side of the popular ministers, their wives, children, their churches and the issues they struggle with. Season two will follow the same six preachers that were on the first season.
People will learn much more about these pastors than the ever could by just seeing them or listening to them in the pulpit. When the premiere season ended, a lot of things left views wondering what happened. Fans have their favorites things to see more of. For instance, viewers want to know about Bishop Jones' sessions with his therapist as well as his relationship with his lady friend, Loretta.
In addition to the show returning, Oxygen will also air four "Preachers of L.A." after-show specials beginning Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 11 p.m. ET. Hosted by network personality Susie Castillo and relationship expert Paul Brunson, the cast will open up some of the most talked-about controversial topics. Fans will have the opportunity to ask the preachers questions via Twitter or Instagram video throughout season two and throughout the after-shows. The preachers will answer as many of these questions as possible during the after-show specials.

Solatube Natural Interior Lighting
Solatube produces a tube light system that they claim offers equal levels of natural light in a room - even on cloudy days. This isn't directly solar power, but it does save wiring and panels to deliver light to your home. Plus, the company says that with their patented light-diffusing lens, you have ultimate control over the shade and brightness of the light entering inside.
I've seen these advertised in the back of the Smithsonian and that's how I got interested. I haven't tried them and of course, the company is saying they don't leak. Essentially, this product is a tube that installs through the ceiling and out the roof, much in the same way a chimney or propane exhaust pipe would. Now, that doesn't mean they are easy to seal, but it would be worth checking out their presentation for the product if it interests you. Likely, it's a cheaper way to light your home than with solar panels, wiring and light bulbs. Barring any leaks, this product should outlast compact florescent bulbs by a long shot.
Also, for the entrepreneurs out there, Solatube is seeking retailers.

Dineen wants to end preseason with a victory
Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said injuries to forwards Mike Santorelli, Stephen Weiss and Scottie Upshall has hindered his ability to find the right combinations, but he'd like to end the preseason with a victory tonight in Dallas.
"I liked a lot of the things during the game,'' Dineen said. "At the end of the day I don't like the end results. We had a good pushback last game. We did the same thing in Tampa …at the end of the day I'd like to get a 'W' on the board, that's part of the process right now even though our lineup's a little different than we'll use opening night.''
The Panthers entered with a 1-3-1 mark.

Everglades National Park opened its new $1.3 million Shark Valley Visitor Center on Saturday, March 8, 2014.
Perched on an island surrounded by the Everglades' vast "river of grass," the 2,963-square-foot structure is a "green" building designed specifically to fit into this environmentally sensitive landscape.
The visitor center houses an information desk; an office for park rangers; exhibit space; a gift shop; a bicycle-rental shop; ticketing for the trams that take visitors on a two-hour, 15-mile loop tour through the sawgrass prairie to an observation tower; and a sheltered waiting area where passengers board the trams. Rest rooms are in an adjoining building.
Previously, a cluster of makeshift structures performed these functions. After the old facilities were demolished, their site was returned to a natural state. The new visitor center occupies already disturbed land at the opposite end of the parking lot. Thus, the project achieved a net gain in undisturbed grasslands, says Mike Savage, manager of the park's professional services office.
LEED Silver
The new building meets the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) requirements at the upper end of the silver level of sustainability. Its major features include:
• A metal "cool roof" with high reflectivity and low absorption of solar heat.
• New sections of the parking lot paved with "pervious pavement" that allows rainwater to soak through into the ground.
• Use of high-efficiency air conditioning with quiet condenser units to minimize noise pollution.
• Use of recycled building materials such as insulation.
• Selection of millwork and other interior finishes from regional suppliers.
• Use of glues, sealants, coatings, and paints with low emissions of VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Equipped with Solatubes
The Shark Valley Visitor Center's windows can be opened on nice days when air conditioning isn't needed. They are sized and placed to admit considerable natural light, augmented by tubular daylighting devices called Solatubes.
Unlike traditional skylights that merely let sunshine enter a building's interior, Solatubes employ optical technologies to capture the sun's rays for delivery where they are needed inside, while screening out infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths to improve the quality of the light. In the visitor center, artificial lighting automatically dims to reduce energy consumption as the intensity of the available natural light increases.
The building's windows have two layers of hurricane protection – impact glass and storm shutters.
Project timeline
The National Park Service's Denver service center managed the project, which took five years from inception to completion. Savage said planning began in 2009, and design in 2011. The architect of record was Cristy Fletcher of Lord Aeck Sargent, an Atlanta-based architectural firm.
Construction took place from August through December of 2013. It was complicated by the site's remote location 40 miles west of downtown Miami, where some contractors didn't want to work or haul materials.
Presiding over the ribbon-cutting ceremony was Dan Kimball, Everglades National Park's superintendent, scheduled to retire March 31 after 10 years in that position. "We're dedicating a significant accomplishment for the park," he said. "I'm glad it happened on my watch."
Kimball noted that funding for the project came from park entrance fees, concession revenues, and contributions from the private not-fot-profit Everglades Association, which operates the park's gift shops.

Acupuncture, Ginseng, and MushroomsWhen Marilyn Stillwell, 50, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, she felt overwhelmed by the journey she was about to take with her body. "I had a three-centimeter malignant tumor in my left breast and had to undergo rapid-fire treatments: lumpectomy, eight rounds of chemo, and 33 radiation sessions," she says. Stillwell knew this regimen would give her the best shot at survival. But when she studied her condition online and talked to doctors, she decided to make weekly visits to an acupuncturist, too. (She'd used acupuncture in the past to treat stress-related backaches.) The results, she says, were immediate. "People don't think of acupuncture as relaxing, because of the whole needle thing, but it actually provides tremendous stress relief. It helped heal my anxiety early on and counteracted the draining effects of chemo and radiation," Stillwell says. "I was able to work full-time. I had little fatigue, almost no nausea, and it really helped with the neuropathy, the tingling chemo caused in my fingers and toes."Thousands of women use alternative therapies to supplement conventional breast cancer treatments. The growing interest in these therapies has led to an increasing amount of research into their effectiveness. Although alternative treatments do not replace conventional ones, they provide new options for relieving the physical and emotional symptoms related to the disease. Here, some of the most promising treatments under study.Acupuncture to Reduce Chemo and Radiation Side Effects "Research has found that acupuncture is extremely helpful for counteracting chemo and radiation side effects such as nausea," says Patrick Mansky, MD, a research oncologist and clinician at the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, in Bethesda, Maryland. "It may also help to alleviate postsurgical pain."In one five-year study, 104 breast cancer patients who received electro-acupuncture treatments along with high-dose chemotherapy had less nausea than even the women using standard anti-nausea medications. (In traditional acupuncture, practitioners stimulate needles by hand; electro-acupuncture sends a low-voltage electrical current through the needles.) Memorial Sloan-Kettering researchers are studying acupuncture to reduce hot flashes and chronic fatigue in breast cancer patients.Ginseng as an Anti-Tumor AgentGinseng has been used as a tonic in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, and it's popular as a treatment to boost immunity and increase energy. Of the two types — red and white — used for medicinal purposes, white holds promise as a way to reduce emotional stress and has often been used to boost the immune system; it may also have anti-tumor effects.Ginseng root contains more than 30 active compounds, some of which have been found to have anti-tumor effects (in cell and animal studies). Several animal studies found that ginseng inhibited the growth of both estrogen-positive and estrogen-negative tumor cells. Researchers at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, in Nashville, recently analyzed data from the 1,455-person Shanghai Breast Cancer Study. "Twenty-seven percent of patients used ginseng prior to diagnosis, and 63 percent used it afterward," says Xiao-Ou Shu, MD, PhD, the study's lead author. "Those who used it before diagnosis had the highest survival rates. Use after diagnosis was related to better quality of life, with patients citing fewer psychological issues, such as depression." Shu is now preparing to conduct a follow-up study of 4,000 patients.Maitake Mushrooms to Boost Immunity "While there has been a great deal of mushroom use in the East, there has been very little research into if or how chemicals within the mushrooms work," says Barrie Cassileth, PhD, whose botanical research center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering is conducting the first U.S. clinical trial on maitake, a medicinal mushroom extract. "These mushrooms contain beta-glucans, substances that enhance immune function in an unknown way."For the past five years, Sloan-Kettering researchers have conducted test-tube and lab studies using liquid maitake extract. This fall, a human study will be under way. Some oncologists feel so confident about the possible advantages that they're already recommending mushroom extract supplements to their patients, Cassileth says.
Can Alternative Therapies Help Treat Breast Cancer?
New research says yes: acupuncture, ginseng, mushrooms, mistletoe, yoga, and other natural remedies can help you through cancer treatment and maybe even speed your recovery. Here, the health boosters that science is taking seriously in the fight against breast cancer.

For a basic introduction to DTML, visit http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/DTML.dtml.
#raw directive.
Here are some examples of syntax differences between DTML and Cheetah:

 <dtml-in frogQuery>
<dtml-var animal_name>
 </dtml-in>

 #for $animal_name in $frogQuery
$animal_name
 #end for

<dtml-if expr="monkeys > monkey_limit">
There are too many monkeys!
 <dtml-elif expr="monkeys < minimum_monkeys">
There aren't enough monkeys!
 <dtml-else>
There are just enough monkeys.
 </dtml-if>
#if $monkeys > $monkey_limit
There are too many monkeys!
 #else if $monkeys < $minimum_monkeys
There aren't enough monkeys!
 #else
There are just enough monkeys.
 #end if

 <dtml-in expr="objectValues('File')"> <dtml-if sequence-even>
 <dtml-else>
 </dtml-if>  <dtml-var title_or_id>
 </dtml-in>

 #set $evenRow = 0 #for $file in $files('File') #if $evenRow
 #set $evenRow = 0 #else
 #set $evenRow = 1 #end if  $file.title_or_id
 #end for

The last example changed the name of
$objectValues to
$files because that's what a Cheetah developer would write.
The developer would be responsible for ensuring
$files returned a
list (or tuple) of objects (or dictionaries) containing the attributes (or
methods or dictionary keys) `absolute_url' and `title_or_id'. All these
names (`objectValues', `absolute_url' and `title_or_id') are standard parts
of Zope, but in Cheetah the developer is in charge of writing them and giving
them a reasonable behaviour.
Some of DTML's features are being ported to Cheetah, such as
Cheetah.Tools.MondoReport, which is based on the
<dtml-in> tag. We are also planning an output filter as flexible as
<dtml-var> formatting options. However, neither of these are
complete yet.

Third Year Residents
For Health Professionals
Matthew B. Akin, MD
When I first graduated college, I had a degree in German and Music and played classic guitar. Before going back to school to get another degree in Biology and go to medical school, I had already had a number of different jobs, but I always felt that I wanted to pursue medicine. It has been a long and eventful journey to becoming a doctor and enter residency at Ball Memorial, and I am happy to say that it has been worth the effort. I now find myself surrounded by a diverse group of residents and a great staff and working in a hospital that is committed to getting the culture right, which is the most important aspect of any working environment, and I am happy to be a part of it. When I am not at the hospital, I have any number of hobbies including remodeling, exercise, and woodworking, or just spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter.
Tahreem Aziz, DO
I have lived pretty much all over America, but have spent most of my life in St. Louis, MO so I consider St. Louis my hometown. I graduated from Saint Louis University with a bachelor's in biology and graduated from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Northern Missouri with my degree in Osteopathic Medicine. My hobbies include cooking, traveling, reading, and watching TV. I especially enjoy spending time with my husband and family. They have always supported me in my times of need.
IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital's program was different from the other programs where I interviewed. It's like family here and everyone is always willing to help you out. I was attracted to the size of the program because in larger programs residents tend to get lost. Here you get individualized attention so you can improve upon your particular weaknesses. My goal during this residency is to become an experienced clinician that shows empathy towards patients. I'm excited to be a resident at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital.
Jinous Etemadi, MD
I was born in Iran but left at a very young age. My family moved from country to country until we finally settled in the United States. My goal in life is to be a good and knowledgeable doctor and with the support of my wonderful family I have so far been able to finish medical school and start residency at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital. I chose this hospital for my residency because of their wonderful program, unquestionable support they provide their residents and friendly working environment. I consider myself very fortunate to be here. Besides medicine, I love to travel, enjoy swimming, hiking, dancing, singing (I assure you my karaoke skills are highly enviable) and in general leading an active lifestyle; but most of all I love to spend time with my family and friends.
Teresa Goode, MD
My name is Teresa Virginia Goode and it is with great pleasure that I join the IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program. I hail from the suburbs of Washington D.C. I am dedicated to a career in healthcare, academics, clinical research and service to the local community. I am profoundly interested in understanding the unique complexity of the human body, the pathophysiological mechanisms of disease, disease detection modalities and evidence based treatments. These unique interests granted me the opportunity to attend medical school in Atlanta, Georgia on full scholarship through the Robert Woodruff Foundation as well as become involved in translational research with NASA Biomedical Research program and Harvard Medical School.
I guess you could say I also have the blessings of both worlds as when I am not working hard at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital engaging in patient care activities, I can be found spending time with family and friends or planning my next travel expedition. Additionally, I am a huge fan of many cultural activities such as various art forms , art history and music (all genres and from all over the world ) as well as ballroom dance I enjoy a very active lifestyle with interests in tennis, golf, archery, swimming, kayaking, hiking and horticulture. When I am not being active outdoors I am usually cooking, reading or learning new languages.
I look forward to being a part of the team at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital as well as becoming an asset to the local community of Muncie, Indiana.
Amitpal Kahlon, MD
I am a northern California guy, born and raised. I grew up big on outdoor activities- hiking in the regional wilderness parks of the San Francisco Bay Area, white water rafting, camping, skydiving, and the list goes on. This active childhood has transgressed into my formative years and has instilled a healthy lifestyle into my being. It is my hope to share this philosophy with patients through a fulfilling career in medicine.
During my undergraduate career at University of California, Davis, I utilized the vast amount of career-guided resources and inevitably found medicine as a career path I wanted to pursue further. After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Cell Biology from UC Davis, I traveled clear across the states to the Caribbean Islands and went on to attend medical school at SABA University School of Medicine. My experiences during medical school in the Caribbean and during clerkships in various states have opened my outlook on the sheer diversity of patient populations and disparities in patient education on their health. Traveling to these different regions during medical school has been a very humbling experience as well.
IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital was an easy decision for me for residency training. During my interview visit, the attending physicians and current residents exemplified an amazing collegial relationship which I have not witnessed at many medical centers throughout my medical training. Working in such an environment is a blessing and I look forward to advancing my medical knowledge and becoming the best physician I can possibly be in providing patients with the sincerest medical care.
Anna Maglinte, MD
I was born and raised in the queen city of South East Asia, Cebu City in the Philippines. My medical education was at Cebu Institute of Medicine, and it was in 2006, when I migrated to The United States to start my own family, and immerse myself in a new culture of diversity and vast opportunities. We found a home in Corpus Christi, Texas and the exceptional experience as a telemetry, out-patient surgery and endoscopy nurse, rekindled my burning desire to pursue my medical career. This determination helped me find a balance between the demands of work and motherhood to complete my USMLE.
I feel this is an exciting time to be a part of the IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital Internal Medicine residency program. I deeply admire the dedication and passion of the faculty in molding their graduates to prepare for the real world of Medicine, and being part of this experience will be that fuse in my journey to become a good physician.
At the end of the day, my greatest joy is being with my family and friends. Without their support and encouragement , I would not have gotten this far.
Franklin Mikell, MD
Born and raised in Brooklyn, I was constantly exposed to a variety of cultures and perspectives. I pursued a degree in English and American Literature at New York University, with the twin-goals of broadening my liberal arts education while concentrating in pre-medical studies. After that I lived in Columbus, Ohio, then Washington, DC, where I worked with patients afflicted with Endocrinological disorders. These experiences confirmed what I'd always believed, which was that helping people through medicine was my true calling. Subsequently I enrolled in St. George's School of Medicine, where I finished my first year of medical school in England as part of the Keith B. Taylor Global Scholar's Program. My second year was completed on the Island of Grenada.
Coming of age in New York City and traveling the world allowed me to work with people that enriched my understanding of humanity. I believe this understanding is critical to being an excellent physician, and the experience of the Internal Medicine Staff at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital reflects that. The faculty and staff are also supportive while challenging each other to reach their full potential. Working with healthcare professionals that embody the traits of teamwork, skill, and compassion is its own reward; and our determination to successfully deliver care to our patients is a dream worth fighting for. I look forward to doing my part to make sure that when patients walk through the doors at IU Health Ball Memorial, they know they're home.
Tinni Mishra, MD
As a child I moved around all over the US and Canada-- Columbus, Durham, Montreal, San Diego, Los Angeles. I feel tired writing about it. However it's nice to finally end up in Muncie, Indiana and take a breath and be able to hear myself think. What drew me to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital is the degree of closeness I saw firsthand between the residents amongst themselves and the faculty.
As far as post-residency goals go, I'm not really sure what I want yet but I feel that the upcoming year will help me figure out what direction I want to go in. Outside of medicine, I'm an avid in-line speedskater , runner and I love to spend time with my two daschunds --Beans and Odi.

Spring 2014 is not even 24 hours old, and R-CATS is already getting into the swing to prepare for a new year trap/neuter/vaccinate/return for feral felines, and the fostering and adoption process for adoptable cats and kittens.
Now entering its fourth year of providing trap/neuter/vaccinate/return (TNVR) services to the homeless cats in the City of Rome, interested parties are invited to join members of the group for the first R-CATS volunteer meeting of 2014 on Tuesday, March 25, at 6:30 pm in the Common Council Chambers at Rome City Hall.
R-CATS founding member Allison Nickerson said, "As we look to build on the successes of the past three years in helping even more homeless cats in 2014, your interest and support are both welcome and needed. There are lots of ways to help out and there's something for everyone to do to support our mission of the humane approach to managing the homeless cat population in our city."
Volunteers can assist with TNVR, fundraising and events, helping at the cats' communal home and fostering, among other helpful activities.
The following evening, Wednesday, March 26, Taco Del Mar at 827 Black River Boulevard North in Rome will host a fundraiser for the cat welfare group from 4-9 pm. Diners can enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared meal and the animal-loving, community-minded folks at Taco Del Mar will donate 25% of each order to the R-CATS program to support their mission.

The first full day in orbit for Astronauts Ken Cockrell, Polansky, Marsha Ivins, Tom Jones and Bob Curbeam will focus on preparations for the unberthing and installation of the Destiny laboratory to the International Space Station. Ivins and Cockrell will check out the 50-foot long robotic arm, and conduct a camera survey of the payload bay with the 16-ton Destiny laboratory housed inside. Curbeam and Jones, with assistance from Polansky, will test the space suits they will wear during three scheduled space walks, the first of which is planned for Saturday as Ivins uses the ship's robot arm to install Destiny onto the Unity module of the Station.
Cockrell and Polansky will command a series of engine firings to refine Atlantis' approach to the station, positioning themselves for a Friday morning docking, just before 11 a.m. Central time.
On board the station, the Expedition One crew - Commander Bill Shepherd, Pilot Yuri Gidzenko and Flight Engineer Sergei Krikalev - awoke just after 4 a.m. to mark its 100th day in orbit. From on board they kept tabs as an unmanned Progress resupply spacecraft, loaded with trash, undocked from the station at 5:26 a.m. Central time as the Station flew high over Asia. A series of engine firings on the Progress slowly increased the distance between the two vehicles. Just before 11 a.m., the Progress will be commanded to deorbit, causing it to burn up as it reenters the Earth's atmosphere.
Today the Expedition One crew will review its plans for joint operations with Atlantis' crew following docking Friday morning, perform some basic housekeeping tasks, and enjoy a regularly-scheduled exercise session.
Atlantis' crew will conduct a series of interviews with media representatives just after 4 p.m. this afternoon. The first Mission Status Briefing of the flight is planned for 5:30 p.m. on NASA Television.

Blueprint for Trinity's Fraternities and Sororities Approved
Designed to enhance student life, Blueprint sets in motion steps toward greater alumni involvement
By Sharon Jones Schweitzer
SAN ANTONIO - Trinity University has unveiled the "Blueprint for Trinity's Fraternities and Sororities," a document designed to ensure the long term success of these organizations on the Trinity campus. Recently endorsed by Trinity's Board of Trustees, the Blueprint calls for four implementation committees, including the creation of a new fraternity and sorority committee on the National Alumni Board. Committee members are currently being recruited and appointed to:
- A fraternity and sorority communication committee
- A recruitment and orientation committee
- A standards committee
- An alumni and external relations committee
"Trinity is committed to creating a campus environment where fraternities and sororities thrive and contribute to the larger community and the Blueprint is a reflection of this commitment," said Michael Fischer, vice president for Faculty and Student Affairs. The Blueprint provides a framework to enhance sustainability of fraternities and sororities, increase alumni involvement with their active members, and improve communication among the University, alumni, and Trinity's fraternities and sororities.
The Blueprint is the result of many months of work by alumni, students, staff, Trustees, and University leadership. "We received valuable input from students, the Greek Council, the Greek Alumni Advisory Council, alumni leaders, and others," said Dave Mansen, president of the Trinity University Alumni Association and chair of the National Alumni Board (NAB). He welcomes the new NAB committee as a means to engage fraternity and sorority alumni on a broader level.

When most of us think about the exploits of Don Quixote, wine certainly is not one of the first things the pops up. But the wine producers in Spain's Castilla-La Mancha region would like the see that situation changed. Surely, Don liked his wine, right?
Oh yes, he did, and didn't really care if it was held in wine skins or bottles. But that was the way it was then.
Now, as Spanish wines move toward higher levels of quality, even Don's old "stomping grounds" (top producing region in Spain by volume) are leaving their mark.
This year, Castilla-La Mancha's organization "Tierra de Vinedos" toured the U.S. (more touring next year too) as an introduction to Castilla-La Mancha's quality and to get working on potential exports to selected distributors. Or course, you have start with tasting the wine, and that was where the focus has been.
Take Castilla-LaMancha's Bodega Zagarron, they are celebrating "tilting at windmills" in a big way, with big wines. And their Tempranillo renditions are sure to give those from Rioja a good run. If not this year, then they will in a few. That's because of a recent focus on extracting higher quality wines from this region's winemakers.
Two of the wines Zagarron was sampling, Tapeo & Velada, represent what can be considered casual verses formal in a Tempranillo-based wine. While both certainly contain wonderfully deep complex fruit character that Spain is famous for, the Velada really does represent a complex, not so everyday wine.
Valada's deep bouquet is laced with floral, garden greens, and cherries (noted this in others too). As it gradually opens up it greets the nose with a little leather and earthy tones. The body is fully supple and with tannins that will support aging for many more years. When paired with thinly sliced sautéed sirloin, it's perfect.
Next year, we're looking for a lot more from the 46 grape varieties that Casilla-La Mancha boasts, plus more tasting opportunities from the 12 (or more) wineries that will be touring. And here's to getting more distribution here in the U.S.
Right now, if you do a search for "La Mancha" at Total Wine, a few Tempranillo's come up. These will probably be of the "informal" variation, certainly worth a try.

WSU Cross Country Invitational, WSU Golf Course, Pullman, Wash.
Saturday, September 16
10:00 a.m. Women's race
10:40 a.m. Men's race
THIS WEEK: WSU will host teams from the University of Idaho and Eastern Washington University at the WSU Cross Country Invitational Saturday. The women's 5,000 meter race will begin at 10:00 a.m. and the men will run an 8,000 meter course beginning at 10:40 a.m. on the WSU Golf Course. The meet will serve as a rematch for the Cougars against Idaho, just over a week after the Idaho Invitational held in Moscow. There, the Cougar Men won, and the WSU Women finished second to Idaho overall, but defeated the Vandals in head to head competition by one point.
WSU WOMEN: Senior All-American Megan Maynard continues to run well, recording her second straight win in Moscow last week. "Megan looked quite impressive last week," said WSU Coach Li. "She ran a quick, smart race." Also running well for the Cougars was junior Ryan Gilmore who finished fourth. Li was also pleased with the improvement he saw out of runners Alishia Booterbaugh, who finished fifth, and freshman Anna Blue, who finished 18th. "As long as we keep on improving every week, we're in good shape," said Li. The WSU women, who will be without Grata Johnson because of a knee injury, will be up for a challenge against a strong Idaho team again this Saturday.
WSU MEN: WSU junior Oscar Franco-Parra is also coming off his second straight win. "Several coaches from other schools have commented on how well Franco-Parra is running," said Li. "If Oscar keeps running well, this season will hopefully be his breakthrough year." Other standouts for the Cougars last week were sophomore Kyle Barker who finished second, and freshman Jim Neeway who finished seventh. The team will also be helped out by the return of sophomore Jon Welsh. Welsh, who is attending WSU on an Army ROTC scholarship, is just getting back into his training after attending boot camp in Georgia this summer. Coach Li expects the competition to be good, especially from a strong Eastern team.

Kush Mahan has played squash since he was young. He earned himself spots on the Zimbabwean Junior National Team and later the South African Junior National Team, and he achieved number-one ranking for a number of age groups throughout his young career. During his undergraduate education, he was a force on the Bates squash team and was named MVP as well as Bates College Male Athlete of the Year his senior year.,
While Kush has seen a great deal of success on the squash court and has worked to make a name for himself, when he is off of the court, his passion lies in non-profit work. For a number of years, Kush Mahan has been heavily involved in a non-profit organization called StreetSquash, Inc., an organization that offers after-school squash lessons/training to children in low-income and underprivileged neighborhoods. Beyond just playing squash, the organization mentors and tutors these youths, who primarily live in the Bronx and Harlem. Kush has served as one of the directors for the organization, spending much of his time helping not only the children who attend StreetSquash but also working on methods of improving the organization and extending its reach.
Kush has experience with grant-writing, haven written a number of grants for StreetSquash and raising upwards of $20,000 for the organization thus far. This grant-writing experience has enabled Kush to greatly expand the boundaries and reach a wider audience by collaborating with the Fund for Public Health in New York. The two organizations have worked to grow the funding for healthcare initiatives within StreetSquash while simultaneously acquiring new public health partnerships for StreetSquash, Inc.
While StreetSquash has been a place that Kush has invested a great deal of time and energy into, he has also used his experience with the organization to branch out to help other organizations, and has contributed to fundraising efforts for, "HOOPS 4 HOPE," a non-profit with the goal of positively impact the lives of disadvantaged South African youth through a combination of basketball, education and mentoring programs.
Motivated by working with these programs, Kush Mahan has begun to take personal initiative within the world of non-profits. He started by launching the Sports Psychology and Mindfulness Meditation Initiative at StreetSquash, Inc., which aims to decrease the stigma towards mental healthcare and increase its effectiveness in the community. Mindful meditation was a focus of Kush's psychological research in college, so he had a lot of background knowledge on the topic and was well-equipped to be the force behind this next step within the organization.
More recently Kush Mahan is also in the process of establishing his own non-profit, "MindBright Foundation," which aims to partner with other well-established non-profits and provide them with the necessary funding to launch mental health initiatives within their organization. MindBright will raise money by hosting a variety of charity/fundraising events within New York City, as well as run campaigns for donations from the public, which they hope to receive a great deal of funding and support from. Non-Profits looking to partner with MindBright will need to send in an application and have a detailed plan laid- out of how they will utilize the funds that MindBright supplies. MindBright hopes to create lasting relationships with these companies that continue to grow and develop their initiative.
Kush Mahan is currently attending Columbia University, pursuing a Master's degree in Global/Public Health. He hopes one day to work for a global health firm. He will continue to build MindBright during his studies at Columbia and play squash in his free time.

Pizza on the South Beach Diet? You bet! In fact, if it's made with the right ingredients, pizza can be one of your healthiest lunch or dinner options on any Phase of the South Beach Diet.
Phase 1 Pizza Ideas:
a portobello "crust."
Meaty, flavorful portobello mushrooms are a great base for pizza toppings because they
hold up well during baking. To prepare the mushrooms, gently wipe the outsides,
and then scrape out the gills. Rub the caps on all sides with some
garlic-infused olive oil. Place the caps, cavity up, on a baking sheet. Season
with salt and pepper, and then fill with the cheesy Phase 1 topping suggested
below. Bake at 450°F for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Just
before serving, season with fresh or dried herbs of your choice, such as basil,
oregano, or parsley.
- For a Phase 1 portobello topping: Top each portobello with a fresh tomato slice or choose a prepared tomato sauce, then sprinkle each mushroom cap with some shredded or thinly sliced reduced-fat mozzarella. Be sure to check the Nutrition Facts panel on the back of all tomato-sauce products and avoid varieties with added sugars.
Phase 2 Pizza Ideas
Enjoy the Phase 1 pizza, above, plus you may:
white whole-wheat flour
to make your own pizza dough. Most pizzerias use white flour to make the pizza
crust, but with white whole-wheat flour, you get the added health benefits of
fiber, protein, and iron. And unlike regular whole-wheat flour, white
whole-wheat flour makes for a softer, smoother-textured crust.
vegetables rather than fatty meats for a topping. Vegetables are a healthier alternative to the fatty cuts of
meat usually found on pizzas, such as pepperoni and sausage. Moreover,
vegetables are an excellent source of disease-fighting
antioxidant vitamins. Try topping your pizza with some sliced zucchini, red peppers,
mushrooms, and/or chopped spinach, then sprinkle with some reduced-fat cheese.
Bake, following the directions for your crust, being careful not to burn the
veggies (cover the pizza with foil if the veggies are done before the crust).
Make a
mini pizza. For a quick pizza on a rushed
night, use a whole-wheat pita, whole-wheat tortilla, or whole-wheat or
whole-grain English muffin as the crust. Toast first, then top with Canadian
bacon, turkey sausage, grilled chicken or shrimp, or tofu, for example, and
return to the oven to heat through (and melt any reduced-fat cheese you might
also want to add).
- Make a dessert pizza by spreading a toasted whole-wheat tortilla with a layer of part-skim ricotta mixed with a little sugar-free jam and some lemon zest. Scatter some fresh berries of your choice over the ricotta and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
Phase 3 Pizza Ideas
Enjoy the pizzas on Phase 1 and Phase 2, above, plus:
- Try whole-grain frozen pizza crusts on occasion. These usually contain small amounts of white enriched flour for tenderness but are a great convenience. For a Hawaiian pizza: Make a thin-crust pizza and top with a thin layer of tomato sauce, some Canadian bacon, shredded reduced-fat cheese, and chopped pineapple before baking.

Secrets of Success
back from the gym - with more energy
Monday, February 04, 2013
Good morning; I would never had believed this even a year ago- workouts give you more energy. I feel great and am seeing a change in my body shape. I am losing inches all over my body. I used to be obsessed with measurements and scale. But now I just go with how my clothes feel. I started with the gym on a regular basis in June of 2012. I have a neighbor who is only 2 or 3 years older than me. She says to me that you look so good and younger. I have been trying to get her to go to the gym but she does not want too. She really needs the strength training. I look 10 years younger than her. I think it is the work outs. Stress with my family is my nemesis. Right now it is my DH. He is going through the change and it is very hard to deal with him at times. He is so anxious and insecure at times. I am trying to get him to go back to the gym. I had to put my foot down for him to go back to Weight Watchers. He has been gaining weight due to over eating. We have had some good talks, but he is a blamer. He blames every one else but himself for his situation. He needs to get more positive. Right now I am letting go of the situation with DH. I have to work on me and when I get distracted - I lose my program. I have to be careful.

Great that you are losing weight and getting fit. You can not make your husband do anything that he does not want to do and you will have to just weight and pray that he will see that he needs to lose weight.

That's the ticket. As frustrating as it is, there isn't a way to change another person, just our reactions! That would get me nuts to have a blamer. AS a matter of fact it DID drive me nuts, because my DH was a blamer too. I did have to really work on ME as far as not responding to that type of communication. Slowly (and I do mean S-L-O-W-L-Y) he got the hint that I wasn't going to engage him. Even when my ever lovin' brain would be screaming, I did not engage him.
Oh, don't get me wrong. He can still act like that, but I am lots like you. I find something to occupy me . . . walking, reading . . . whatever!
HUGS my dear. It is a stressor. Hope he gets over it. Oh . . . I had to really reconcile my thoughts and realize that I really DID and still DO love my hubby. Just can't deal with the behavior.
