Change sucks! Cancer sucks!
Friday, April 26, 2013
I just haven't had the energy or desire this week to blog, but I'm making myself because I don't want to forget this past week.
First, I went with some friends to an expo about gluten and allergy free foods. So much fun. I made the decision that morning to allow myself to try whatever I wanted, just a tasting size, and not deprive myself. I'm not sure how bad I really was, but the food was great, and it wasn't too hard to go back to not having sweets again the next day. We had a great time.
I also went to my first naturopathic physical therapy. Super relaxing, worked on tight muscles, but I was really sore later that night. Kind of hurts my spirit because I was really hopeful that it would be a solution for me. Now I'm not sure how much impact it had on my week and my pain, because I'm just trying not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. We'll see if it works. I go back for a second treatment this afternoon.
I weighed in on Monday and had gained a pound again. The second week in a row. I've had about a month now with very little weight loss and I have to get my head back into this journey. Thankfully my trainer has been very supportive, and I really have appreciated that. She knows what struggles and challenges I've had going on over the past month and doesn't get on me about the fact that I should be doing better. She just encourages me, and right now that's definitely what I've needed.
This weekend I'm going to visit family and I have arranged to use a guest pass at an Anytime Fitness in the town I'll be visiting. Pretty good step for me! So, now I just have to get over my issues with maybe running into someone I know at that gym and I should be good! :)
Now onto the bad news of the week. I heard last night that my mom's cousin is going into Hospice Care. I know that doesn't mean she is dying, but it is definitely not good news. More than a year ago, this cousin was diagnosed with leukemia and underwent a bone marrow transplant. The transplant was a success, which was even more amazing for my family because a cousin on my dad's side had died from complications of the same kind of transplant just months earlier. But unfortunately her body has not been able to take the toll of the transplant and cancer as well, and even though the doctors were happy the transplant was successfully, my cousin has been in and out of the hospital and a nursing home with infections and other side effects. Her body just isn't strong enough to take everything that it has had to endure this last year. I just feel so helpless.
And I know this is hard for my mom and dad and my cousin's daughter. These are the times that being an adult is the hardest. I just want to ignore these kinds of things, but the truth is that it impacts us all on a daily basis. Cancer is such a terrible and horrible disease. I hope and pray every day that someone finds a way to get rid of it for good. My friends mom has finished her chemo treatments, but was in the hospital recently because of a fever and pneumonia. Now she's in Florida to enjoy family and her doctor thought the warm weather could really help her immune system. She's been through so much, just like my cousin. I believe that things happen for a reason, but these are tough situations to explain to myself. I was at the gym last night and when I wanted to give up, I think of these people who I love so much and are struggling just to live. I can work a little harder in my life to get healthy and stay that way. Enough thinking about illnesses and sickness...
Overall, the week was busy at work, but I made the time to get a workout in every day. I have a week before my first 5k and I am definitely not ready, good thing we are walking it! And I'm even staying away from the scale until Monday when I can be back at my gym, wish me luck!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Quarter Horse Crazy
February 16, 2011
Youth Readers Write
Meet an 11-year-old with great friends who are helping him reach big dreams.
By AQHYA member Stephen Orengo, Ohio, 11
I have been a member of the American Quarter Horse Youth Association since I was 6. I started out riding in the Equestrians With Disabilities classes on my favorite horse, Tippy Sugar Bar. She and I won a lot and, we did EWD classes and walk-trot classes. We even did walk-trot barrels. Tippy is the 2007 AQHA-MD Barns Silver Spur Award Winner. As of February 2011, we are now in our new MD Barn, and Tippy is happy with everything except the automatic waterer. She does not like it! I rode Tippy for two years at the Western Pennsylvania Quarter Horse Association, where I met a bunch of people like Bill and Pat Fuches, Tricia and Vince Utlak, Makayla and Elaina, Kyle Jones and Ashly Wilcox, the Sneizke Family and Sarah Arena. They all helped me with Tippy and helped me ride.
In 2009, I got to take over riding a great mare, Mitos Miss Lucy. Sarah Johnson had ridden her before me. Sarah was also an EWD rider and has graduated up to the other classes. Sarah Johnson is now Miss Rodeo West Virginia and will be competing for Miss Rodeo America in 2012! I love Sarah, and I want to be able to ride as good as her some day!
"Lola," as we call her at the farm, is one of my favorites. She and I did western pleasure, hunter under saddle and showmanship. My favorite is hunter under saddle! I learned hunter under saddle from Allison Applegate and Dakota Diamond Griffith. Dakota and her mom and dad (Leigh Ann and Sid) have helped me so much. I even learned to lope/canter, and now I am in the regular classes! I was the 2010 High Point Pleasure Horse in my county in Ohio for 4-H and got to go to the Ohio State Fair! Lola and I placed at the All American Youth Horse Show in Columbus, Ohio, in both western pleasure and hunter under saddle. I had so much fun with Lola.
I also have a barrel racing and pole bending horse named Joeys Last Time. He is 23 years old. I was on the WPQHA Congress Youth Team in barrels with "Joey!" He is so much fun. I also ride him on trails in the Wayne National Forest with my Aunt Dee and Uncle Lonnie.
But in 2011, I may get to do something I have wanted to do my whole life. My Aunt Dee might let me show one of her halter horses, Coolest Touch, aka "Dallas." Dallas is the biggest and best halter horse I have ever seen. Aunt Dee says I have to practice perfect, and I have to listen to our trainer, Bill Coffman, and whatever Bill says goes. He will tell me when I am ready to show Dallas. It is hard showing halter, because I only have use of one arm, and Dallas is so big! But I know that with the help of all my Quarter Horse friends, I will do it!
My goal is to go to the AQHYA World Show someday, just like my horse-show heroes Dakota Griffith, Nikki Cosner, Olivia Sneizek and many more. Most of all, I want to make my Aunt Dee, Uncle Lonnie and Bill proud of me.
I want to someday grow up to be AQHYA President just like Dakota!
I have found out that my Quarter Horse family is great. They have never babied me or treated me any different. They have never been mean to me or picked on me. They have treated me the same as any other kid, and I want to make them proud.
Want to tell your story? E-mail it to AQHA's youth department.

I generally find even the softest wool products too itchy. The lining in this vest makes it both warmer and wearable. Being a vest makes it great for layering. I'm 6' so another inch in length would be great but it's comparable to other vests.A minor quibble is that it has a left-handed pull (European style) zipper that takes some getting used to.I also found the opening for the pockets to be too small to get my hands in without a struggle and they are bit akwardly placed (front-facing) to serve as hand-warmers anyway.

Wool quality is good. I am 6'0" & 185 lbs. Med. fits nice and snug. IPhone zips securely in breast pocket.Front pockets are very small and are not 'hand warmers.' A few simple design changes and it would be outstanding:Slash pockets on front that accommodate hands, with wool or cashmere lining. (Get rid of existing front hand pockets; keep breast pocket.)Suede arm pit and pocket trim.A bit heavier wool.

Comments about Scottish Wool Travel Vest:
Very good for when I'm wearing a pullover and want something extra with pockets. The lining is an excellent touch so it's not itchy at all. My wife likes that it's much nicer than a fleece jacket or something I would wear otherwise.

The fit is fine on top. The bottom half of the sweater is too bulky. Not flattering. With that fix this sweater would be 5 stars.

High Quality Product
By David
from St. Louis, MO
About Me Classic Dresser
Very high quality materials and workmanship from a respected and long-standing manufacturer of Scottish woolens. The midsection of the medium size is too large for me (44 inches); I prefer a more tailored look. And the bottom pockets would be much more functional if slanted. Zipper is left-handed (European?)

Restrepo Leads Big 12, Team In Second
April 25, 2014
TRINITY, Texas - Stellar performances from juniors Esteban Restrepo and Matias Dominguez have propelled the Red Raiders to a second place team standing after two rounds of the 2014 Big 12 Men's Golf Championships at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity.
At 1-over, 577, Texas Tech is five strokes back of No. 14 Texas as the Longhorns lead the field at 4-under, 572. The Red Raiders hold a 15-stroke advantage over Iowa State and TCU, who are tied for third place at 16-over, 592.
"You can't win it after the first 36 holes on the first day but you can certainly put yourself behind the eight-ball and we didn't do that," Head Coach Greg Sands said. "We have a great chance to move forward tomorrow."
Junior Esteban Restrepo was instrumental in giving Tech the chance to move forward as he carded a 4-under, 140 through two rounds and leads the tournament field by one stroke over Texas' Toni Hakula. He is seeking to become only the second Big 12 Champion in school history as Chris Ward won medalist honors on this same course back in 2010.
"He (Restrepo) played solid. Its pretty easy to coach when he hits 32 greens out of 36," Sands said. "He has been struggling a little bit off the tee and he found that today. It was a great day to find the fairways and hit the ball so well. I am proud of him."
Restrepo eagled a par-five on his second hole of the day and that gave him all the confidence he would need as he came into the clubhouse after round one at a tournament leading 3-under, 72. He followed up his first round with a 71 (1-under par) in the second to give him a one-stroke lead heading into Saturday.
Restrepo didn't carry the load alone, however, as a strong performance by teammate Matias Dominguez helped position the Red Raiders into second place in the team standings.
Dominguez climbed the individual leaderboard by dominating the back nine in this afternoon's second round. He posted five birdies on the back nine and closed out the round with back-to-back birdies on holes 17 and 18. Dominguez is 1-under, 143 through two rounds and just three strokes back of Restrepo.
All five Red Raiders on the Texas Tech scorecard are in the Top 25 on the leaderboard through two rounds of play. Freshman Hannes Ronneblad, who tied for third after the first round, is in 17th overall (4-over, 148) while junior Clement Sordet is close behind in a tie for 18th at 3-over, 149. Junior Henry Todd is tied for 24th overall at 7-over, 151.
Texas Tech will look to gain some ground on rival Texas in the third round on Saturday morning. The Red Raiders will begin teeing off at 9:40 a.m. off of hole No. 1 and will be paired with Texas and Iowa State. Live scoring can be tracked at www.golfstat.com.

About Suspended Fireplaces
Suspended fireplaces, now that's a title that catches your attention! What exactly are they; are they practical, or just a passing fad?
A suspended fireplace is just that, a fireplace that ascends gracefully from the ceiling into your room with a truly futuristic look. A long, narrow chimney bubbles out into a pod in which the fire is built, all without touching the floor. Equipped with the ability to rotate a full 360°, your family is sure to enjoy the full effect of its warmth and uniqueness. Because few people are familiar with this unusual design, your suspended fireplace is sure to become a conversation piece.
FireOrb designer, Doug Garofalo, was one of the original designers of the suspended fireplace. He got a burst of inspiration after spotting a beautiful landscape through the back of a glass-doored fireplace. He said "The impression you have is fire floating in the landscape. That made me want to design some kind of floating fire for a house I was working on." Garofalo went on to express his frustration for the lack of fireplace design choices for Americans to choose from. Heralded as the eco-friendly fireplace choice for 2008, these suspended stoves present an exciting new alternative to pre-existing selections.
The fireplace is suspended from the ceiling and can be installed in virtually any room. Wood-burning fuel is inexpensive and easy to obtain, and the specially engineered flue is designed for optimum efficiency. Just to give you an idea of size, included is a breakdown of the FireOrb model. The FireOrb is approximately 26" in height with a 13" opening, an endless flue, and a flue width of around 8". The total width is around 40". Dimensions vary according to the different manufacturers, but all are made by spinning steel in a cad-governed form.
Created in Europe, the suspended fireplace is just beginning to reach the US markets, and it can be difficult to find showrooms. Marketed by Brisach, FireOrb, Antrax, and Focus, each has a helpful Website where you can find pricing and ordering information.
Although just being introduced in 2008 for a wide-spread marketing, the GyroFocus was actually designed by Dominique Imbert in 1968. Previously only displayed in museums, is it finally time for the suspended fireplace to catch on? If you are inspired by these incredible designs, contact one of our contractors today to bring sensational, 360º warmth to your home.

(Since many of my test drives are to California's coast, I decided to share a restaurant adventure on a recent drive)
After a fantastic day of sailing on Monterey Bay with Captain Ron and returning to the Moss Landing Harbor, sailboat passengers will be greeted by the scrumptious aromas coming from the upwind Phil's Fish Market and Eatery. Captain Ron's sailboat, "Latitude Adjustment", is berthed directly downwind from the very unique and extremely popular Phil's.
As you enter Phil's, the first thing you are greeted with is the huge selection of fresh fish, all on display and packed in mounds of finely crushed ice. If you're coming to Phil's for fresh fish, you'll find fish that were probably enjoying a nice day swimming in one of the deepest ocean bays in the world just hours earlier. Now that's fresh! Salmon, Rock Fish, Albacore, Pacific Red Snapper, Halibut, Ling Cod, California Sea Bass, Dungeness Crab, and Flounder these are just some of the fresh fish available from the local fishing boats that use Moss Landing as their home port. But it doesn't stop there...flown in fresh, customers can also choose from Trout, Cat Fish, Yellow Tail Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Tombo Albacore, and Yellow Fin Tuna. If you want shell fish, there's a huge selection of fresh Crab, Prawns, Mussels, Lobsters, Shrimp, Scallops, Clams and Oysters. The huge varieties of fish are of course, subject to fishing seasons and weather conditions. Phil's selection of daily catches would probably beat anything you could find even at San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf. But this isn't the real treat you'll enjoy upon discovering Phil's Fish Market...it's the other part of their name that will have you telling all your friends of your new find...The Eatery.
The Eatery is a stand in line (sometimes stretching out the front door), place your order and find a vacant table. The large menu is on a large overhead chalk board...chalk, because the menu is ever changing...sometimes those swimming fish just don't take the bait for an invitation to dinner. When your order is ready, waitresses will serve the food. An order of fish 'n chips will have three nice pieces of battered dipped halibut or cod served with a basket of fries and coleslaw or you can enjoy the chips with shrimp, scallops, oysters or squid at a price around $15. You can also order just about any type of fish from the charbroiler or have it breaded and grilled...you can even find most of the fish smoked.
Phil's house specials include salmon or halibut Marsala, spicy jumbo prawns, Phil's stir-fried calamari, blackened sea scallops, Sicilian salmon, or halibut tacos. Phil's pièce de résistance is their famous Cioppino which you can order in a bowl or in a special hollowed out bread bowl...I'm getting hungry! They'll even let you bring in your own pot and they will then cook you a great meal...better allow about an hour for this custom order. They also feature Cioppino in a bucket, in which they supply the bucket, it's ready to go and can be ordered fresh or frozen. Their very special Cioppino is made with Clams, Mussels, White Fish, Calamari, Dungeness crab, Prawns and Scallops. Save the bucket for your return visit and you will save $5 on your next order. You can also enjoy several dishes with various pastas and for steak eaters, they serve delicious Sirloin Steaks.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the best part of the downwind aromas we enjoy from our returning sailboat cruises...the clam chowder...prepared both as New England style, which is the white chowder, or Manhattan style, which is the red chowder(my favorite).
Phil's showcases Bluegrass Music Monday thru Thursdays nights with a different band featured each night. You can enjoy your dinner either inside or out in the enclosed patio. The atmosphere is always that of a party with patrons sharing their own story of how they discovered Phil's Fish Market and Eatery.
I think now you'll probably understand why there is usually a line out the door seven days a week...The Eatery is one of a kind. Located just about half way between the Santa Cruz area and the Monterey Peninsula, at the Moss Landing Harbor, it's worth the short drive for everyone visiting anywhere in the Monterey Bay Region.

While the PS4 beta for Bungie's upcoming multiplayer shooter is currently running in full 1080p, next week's Xbox One beta test for Destiny unfortunately will only support a lower resolution setting. It is unclear at the moment what resolution will be available to Xbox One owners, but Bungie's community manager David Dague assured gamers that this is only a temporary set for the beta as he confirmed that the game will run in 1080p resolution across both platforms when it officially launches according to a report by Joystiq on July 17.
Dague reminded fans that the point of the beta is to improve Destiny and make sure that the title is ready for its September release date. The beta build of the game is obviously a different version than what players will see at launch so the limited resolution that will be seen on this month's Xbox One beta is just one stage of development as Bungie finalizes the title.
The developer is committed to making sure that Destiny provides fans with the same experience regardless of what platform they are playing the game on. As a result, Bungie has revealed to gamers that the upcoming shared-world shooter will include 1080p resolution running at 30 frames per second on both the Xbox One and Playstation 4 alike.
Destiny launches on Sept 9 on the Xbox One, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. Those who pre-order the title will gain access to this month's beta test for an early look at the game. The Playstation beta has now begun and Xbox owners will have their change to participate in the test staring July 23. The beta will give players a sampling of the full game including open environments to explore as well as co-op dungeon and competitive matchmaking which they may participate in.

Tolson hoop camps qualify as bargains
ELKHART — Former area standouts Todd Johnson and Lindsey Steffen will each host one-day youth basketball camps in August at the Tolson Center, and each camp will be a bargain.
Steffen's girls camp is set for Friday, Aug. 2, and Johnson's boys camp for Friday, Aug. 9.
Each camp at the city-operated Tolson Center will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., each is open to children entering third through ninth grades, each will include T-shirts, lunch, certificates of completion and the possibility of awards, and each is $5, according to Steffen.
Individuals may visit the Tolson Center, 1320 Benham Ave., to pick up registration forms or call 295-6456 for more information.
Sign-ups may be limited to the first 50 individuals for each camp.
Steffen, a 2010 NorthWood graduate who helps out at Tolson, is entering her senior season at nearby Holy Cross College.
The 5-foot-9 guard/forward has finished first or second for the NAIA Division II Saints in scoring and rebounding during each of her first three seasons, with averages of 15.3, 15.5 and 12.9 points, and 9.0, 10.0 and 8.1 rebounds.
Steffen was the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year in 2011, was the league's Player of the Year runner-up as a sophomore and has twice been chosen to the All-CCAC first team.
At NorthWood, she was a four-year regular for coach Steve Neff and netted 828 career points while helping the Panthers to marks of 18-4, 15-6, 18-7 and 21-4 with two sectional crowns.
Johnson, a 2012 Memorial grad, is coming off his freshman year at Northern Kentucky University, where he contributed off the bench during the Norse's inaugural season as an NCAA Division I program.
Johnson averaged 2.8 points, 1.1 assists and 0.7 steals in 13 minutes per game with 26 appearances.
As a senior at Memorial, the 5-8 Johnson paced the Crimson Chargers to their best season ever at 24-2 with the program's first regional crown in 23 years. He averaged an Elkhart County-leading 19.7 points in addition to leading the area in assists for the third straight season and in steals for the second straight season.
A four-year starter for coach Mark Barnhizer, Johnson was on Charger teams that went 14-10, 15-9 and 13-8 in front of the 24-2, with two sectional titles.
Johnson is spending most of this summer at NKU, but will return home for the camp at Tolson, where he often played while growing up.
According to Steffen, both the outdoor courts and indoor court will be used during the one-day camps.

College Hockey:Bochenski Nets Four Goals In Sioux Win
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Sometimes goal scorers just have one of those nights.
In the second game of the Subway Holiday Classic at Ralph Engelstad Arena on Friday, North Dakota forward Brandon Bochenski had one of those games. In scoring four of five Sioux goals in a 5-2 nonconference victory over visiting Brown, it seemed as if everything he put on net went in — whether intended or not.
North Dakota coach Dean Blais called Bochenski, who has two four-goal games on the season and 23 goals in 19 games, a "one-man wrecking crew."
"He's got a way of finding the net," Blais said. "I'm sure that's all he sees when he gets into the offensive zone. He sees net. Playing with him, you have to yell for the puck and communicate with him, otherwise he's going to shoot it every time."
The only goal Bochenski scored that appeared ordinary was his first of the game at 3:58 of the opening period. In a 2-on-1 rush with forward Jason Notermann, Bochenski one-timed Notermann's feed past Brown goalie Yann Danis.
His second goal came at 7:07 of the first period. Nearly parallel to the goal line, Bochenski fired what appeared to be a centering pass through the crease, only to have it deflect off Danis and into the net to give the Sioux a 2-0 lead.
"I got some bounces tonight that don't happen very often," Bochenski said. "I'm going to sit on this for a night and be pretty happy about what happened."
Notermann's power-play goal at 17:37 on a deflection of forward Kevin Spiewak's shot gave North Dakota a 3-0 first-period lead.
"He (Spiewak) got open, walked across the top of the circle and shot it," Notermann said. "I had my stick on the ice and it found the back of the net."
The Bears came out in the second period with new fire and a potential upset in mind. Brown got on the board at the 8:07 mark when Keith Kirley circled behind the Sioux goal and found defenseman Paul Ezdale coming down the slot to slam the puck past goalie Josh Siembida.
An upset seemed possible when Brown junior defenseman Scott Ford scored on the power play at 15:40. At the end of the second period, North Dakota held a 3-2 lead. In the last period, the Sioux refused to be outworked and outshot the Bears 9-1.
Bochenski got the hat trick at 8:51 on a goal that was initially awarded to junior forward David Lundbohm, who appeared to shoot in Bochenski's behind-the-net centering pass. However, replays showed that Lundbohm's shot deflected of Bochenski's stick before going in.
"He shot and I was just going to the net. He was behind me and I was turning. Plunk — right off my stick and into the corner," Bochenski said. "When you're scoring, it just happens."
Brown coach Roger Grillo said the fourth Sioux goal changed the game's momentum.
"The turning point was when he had two power plays and didn't get a shot. The momentum swung back in their favor. Right after that second power play, they scored. That was a backbreaker, no question," he said.
Bochenski's fourth goal came on the power play at 17:04 and appeared just as improbable as two others. Down low and with his back to the Brown goal, forward James Massen fed Bochenski, who was standing near the left faceoff dot. He took a look a fired a low wrist shot. Somehow, the puck found its way through two Brown defenders before beating Danis five-hole.
"You're going to get breaks like that when you're a good player and things are going your way," Ford said.
If there's any question whether Bochenski misses freshman linemate Zach Parise, who's playing in the World Junior Championships in Canada, the answer for now is no.
Blais said, "I asked him before the game, 'Is Bochenski making Parise or is Parise is making Bochenski?' He said he was making Parise. I guess he proved it tonight."
With the win, the Sioux are 17-1-1 and remain undefeated at home. Brown falls to 5-6-1 on the season. North Dakota will play the Bemidji State Beavers at 8 p.m. Saturday at Engelstad Arena for the tournament championship. Brown will play the Manitoba Bison at 5 p.m.

Anyone who's been on a dating site has seen them. She's a beautiful girl with poor grammar skills. She wants to talk via her Yahoo email account and within a few emails she's often asking for money to come visit you. Thats a clear indication of a dating site scammer, and just about everyone who's ever joined a dating site has experienced a similar situation.
The dating industry is finally starting to come around to protecting the safety of their members in a meaningful way, but only after much legal pressure and several waves of recent bad press. Just Google "Match lawsuits" and you'll see what I'm talking about.
However, a newer, and more insidious problem has emerged in recent years, and its one that, while not an immediate threat to one's personal safety or bank account, is no less nefarious in my opinion.
More and more dating site startups that are buying dating profiles in bulk to bolster their user databases. On one hand they purport to take your safety and well-being seriously, while in the back room they're wheeling and dealing with profile vendors, and other dating sites, to acquire profiles to fill in troublespots, where there's not enough density for the site to be competitive. It could be a geographic area, or it could be a lack of lesbians or bikers.
The reason that profiles-for-sale have become a topic of discussion is because its expensive to acquire new members for dating site startups, and there is a huge jump in dating startups this year centered around mobile and social dating. I'm often asked about whether or not a site should acquire dating profiles to avoid the empty database problem. Each and every time my recommendation is no. Put on your big-boy pants and do what everyone else does, sign up new members, one at a time.
My reasoning is simple. If you can't grow a site from zero to several thousand members in a few months through Google, Facebook or ads on POF, you probably shouldn't be in the business. Dating sites are 100% driven by ad spend and affiliate marketing and as I tell new startups, you're not in the dating business, you're in the Internet marketing business now. The fact of the matter is that it takes thousands of dollars to acquire enough customers in a specific geographic area to "take off", and there's no way around it.

Womens Lights Take On Reigning Champ Stanford In San Diego Crew Classic
SAN DIEGO CREW CLASSIC l NATIONAL POLL
The 2011 EAWRC Princeton women's lightweight rowing team made its first major statement of the season in San Diego, where it knocked off both Wisconsin and Stanford to take over the No. 1 spot in the country.
The 2013 team has already made half that statement this season with its 13-second victory over Wisconsin on Lake Carnegie last weekend. It will try to complete the double this weekend, as it heads to Mission Bay for the 40th annual San Diego Crew Classic.
Princeton, which is ranked third in the first USRowing nationall poll, is scheduled to race over two days, beginning Saturday at 7:40 am pacific time in a four-boat women's collegiate lightweight prelim. Also included in that race is a pair of Stanford boats and a Washington State entry.
From there, the top boats will reach Sunday's final at 10:50 am.
Sophomore Rebecca Kreutter will be competing in her second San Diego Crew Classic, though she will enter this year's regatta with a far different perspective than the one she had last year.
"The San Diego Crew Classic was my first 2k regatta," she said. "I remember going into the race last year with one goal: don't catch a crab. This year is a new boat, a new crew, and definitely a new goal. I'm looking forward to a grinding race against Stanford."
The Tigers know that Stanford is the ultimate measuring stick in women's lightweight rowing right now. The Cardinal is the three-time reigning national champion, a stretch that included a 2011 IRA grand final that was determined by the slimmest of margins between Stanford and Princeton.
"It's hard to remember the middle parts of that race," said senior captain Alex Morss, who was a sophomore in that EAWRC champion boat. "I've gone back and watched it, which probably isn't a good idea. We were down by a pretty good amount until basically the end of the race. If we had a little further to go, I think we could have come back and won. I think we gave it everything we had. It was a really good race between both of us."
Princeton would love another late-race showdown with Stanford at IRAs two months from now, but the Tigers are looking forward to building on their strong start to the season this weekend in San Diego, and maybe making a statement against the top-ranked boat in the nation.

Ihmels Named Midwest Region Coach of the Year
NEW ORLEANS - Iowa State head cross country coach Corey Ihmels was named the 2011 Midwest Region Women's Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. This is the second consecutive year Ihmels earned regional coach of the year honors.

Thomistic Principles and Bioethics

Alongside a revival of interest in Thomism in philosophy, scholars have realised its relevance when addressing certain contemporary issues in bioethics. This book offers a rigorous interpretation of Aquinas's metaphysics and ethical thought, and highlights its significance to questions in bioethics. Jason T. Eberl applies Aquinas's views on the seminal topics of human nature and morality to key questions in bioethics at the margins of human life questions which are currently contested in the academia, politics and the media such as: When does a human person's life begin? How should we define and clinically determine a person's death? Is abortion ever morally permissible? How should we resolve the conflict between the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell research and the lives of human embryos? Does cloning involve a misuse of human ingenuity and technology? What forms of treatment are appropriate for irreversibly comatose patients? How should we care for patients who experience unbearable suffering as they approach the end of life? Thomistic Principles and Bioethicspresents a significant philosophical viewpoint which will motivate further dialogue amongst religious and secular arenas of inquiry concerning such complex issues of both individual and public concern.
