The "official" grilling season begins with Memorial Day Weekend and the "unofficial" beginning of summer. This means it's time to "fire up the Barbie." Dust off the grill (that hopefully you cleaned before storing away last fall), check that all your barbecue utensils are in good working order, put on your mitts and, if firing up the grill naturally, purchase sustainable, eco-friendly briquettes. After all, this is one of America's favorite summer activities, so be prepared.
According to a Kraft's survey in 2013, about 80 percent of consumers who eat burgers top them with cheese. Experts at Kraft Kitchens and Weber suggest applying cheese just before the burger is removed from the grill for the perfect cheese melt and minimal clean-up. However, about one in four (24 percent) cheeseburger-eaters add the cheese either after the burger is pulled from the grill or after the first flip. These methods can result in an uneven melt or cause the cheese to ooze down into the grates. Maybe it's better to get your cheese fix by stuffing it in the burger! See the recipe below.
But first, here are some tips for great grilling:
• Keep It Clean: Cleaning the grill is incredibly simple when you follow the right steps. Start by heating the grill on high for 10 to 15 minutes to burn off leftover food debris, then brush grates clean with a steel stainless bristle brush.
• Oil Your Food, Not the Grates: To prevent sticking, apply oil directly to your proteins (especially chicken or fish). Oil not only aids in the caramelization process, but it creates a barrier between the food and the grates that makes flipping a breeze.
• Let it Be: Once the food is on the grill, keep the lid closed as much as possible to avoid losing heat. If the grill is constantly being opened, the food can take longer to cook and could potentially dry out.
• Be Patient: Let the food rest for at least 30 percent of the total time it was cooked to allow the juices to settle in. Cutting into your foods too soon can cause that delicious flavor to seep out.
Here's a memorable burger to grill this Memorial Day and all throughout the summer months ~ it's even tasty grilled indoors in the winter!
Wine and Cheese Burger (aka the Beaujolais Burger)
- 1- 1 ½ lb. ground beef or turkey
- ½ finely minced sweet onion (a Vidalia or Maui)
- 1 Tbsp. stone ground mustard
- Beaujolais wine to just moisten ~ drink the rest
- Cubes of fresh mozzarella cheese*
- Freshly ground pepper and salt
- Mix all ingredients together except the mozzarella cheese
- Form four patties, season with salt and pepper.
- With your finger, create a small hole in the center of each patty and stuff with a chunk of mozzarella cheese. Cover over the hole with the meat.
- Grill patties for 4-5 minutes on one side and the same on the other side depending on desired wellness. Test one burger by taking it off the grill, slicing slightly into the middle to see if the juices are still running red. Or do the rule of thumb method by testing with your finger ~ it works every time!
*Instead of mozzarella cheese, you could also use Brie that has been left at room temperature to soften.
And for the ultimate super-duper burger make sure to use a crusty bun, which you can toast on the grill, and add a slice of tomato, fresh lettuce leaf and condiments of your choice.
Happy Memorial Day and Bon Appétit.

CAIO FERN, born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1975, studied Psychology at Universidade Paulista. Fern's work is sometimes described as Realist, "though the sheer intensity of his work sets him apart from most contemporary Realist painters. With a highly individualistic style of painting, Caio reveals the raw physical characteristics and inner tensions of his subjects which proposes an intricate set of perspectives of the "self", is apparent in his self-portraits. Though Caio affirms that a self-portrait can only be considered as a visual reflection of himself, "There is no conceptual speech behind it," he believes strongly that the only important thing is the painting itself."

On Thursday's Tru-TV episode of "The Carbonaro Effect," titled "Serious Déjà Vu," comedian and magician Michael Carbonaro, puzzles everyone with his tricks and has spectators shaking their heads in amazement.
In the first segment at Sweet Auburn Barbecue, with the caption, "And I call myself an experienced drinker," Michael is working in at the bar. He asks a woman what she would like to drink, and she tells him a vodka pomegranate. He tells her he will make it with a liquor light. He pours bottled water into the shaker and then puts a code into the liquor light, and pours the drink into her glass. She is shocked to see what happened, and when he walked away, she was still puzzled.
When another woman came to the bar, he told her that he was the Guinea pig for the kitchen and tested the hot wings and barbeque sauce before they served them to the public. When he tasted them, with the hot sauce, smoke came from his mouth and the wings in the platter went on fire.
In a variety store, Michael is behind the counter in the second segment with the caption, "I just used that at a restaurant!" When a man goes to pay for his purchase with a credit card, Michael stated that there was a problem with his card, called the card issuer and shredded the man's card. As he was still on the phone, he said it would be on its way, and sure enough, a drone flew over their heads and produced his credit card. The man was in shock as his name was on the card, and it was activated.
On the third segment, captioned, "That is just like, from outer space." Michael is working at a coffee bar. He asks a woman if she wants a muffin that is made instantly inside a bag. When he demonstrates it to her, she is amazed at his ability to bake a muffin in seconds.
The fourth segment is captioned, "Cosmic Loop, cause that's what we're going through." Michael is in a waiting room, with a large newspaper in front of him that he is supposedly reading. He asks a man what time it is, puts the paper up, and when he puts it down again, his hair is a frizzy mess. When he raises the paper again, he has a large mustache that is askew, and next he has a scraggly beard.
In the same office, Michael is now a maintenance man, changing light bulbs, as he strikes up a conversation with a man in the waiting room. When Michael leaves, then suddenly reappears exactly where he originally met the man, he is astounded that he could be in two places at once. Suddenly, he goes through the same words that he originally said to Jonathan.
The man was surprised, until Michael told him, that was called "The Carbonaro Effect," a magic hidden-camera television show that he is on right now. Michael then introduced himself again to him as he was still wondering how it could have happened.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 47 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by lahaven1231 Water Bottles When I purchased the product, Four out of six of the bottles were broken around the straw area and one bottle was missing a suction straw. April 20, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jordan Very disappointed!! 3 of the 6 bottles for our football team have now broke at the lid near the straw. Once that happens you have to throw them out they cannot be used. So now in the carrier for 6 bottles I have my 2 sports authority bottles & a Gatorade bottle (both of which I have had about 5 years). These bottles are very poor quality!! October 10, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Blondie1972 Not Durable at All My son's U8 hockey team was given these as a gift. At the end of the 4th practice we have 3 of the 6 bottles with broken tops and it doesn't look like you replace just the tops. Very disappointed. October 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by momof2 Good product, fills need This product is study and well made for water bottles. The kids can just squeeze and the water comes out of the straw, which helps with the germ issue of other squirt bottles. Great price too. October 6, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by PasadenaTrojansMom Didn't stand up to the test... I purchased these straw bottles for my team of 9-11 year old boys for football. The straws broke at the base of the bottle during the first preseason game. I think the boys were trying to bend the straws to get water thru their face masks. I am sadly disappointed at the durability of the the Dicks brand. I expected more from Dicks as we have purchase ALL of our football equiptment from Dicks in the past. With a team of 35 boys, we don't have the funds to purchase new water bottles for the team. With the pending 100 degree weather here in California -we sure could use some durable bottles. August 24, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Junior Product is very fragile Under playing activities the plastic top cracks or breaks at the straw entrance. August 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by biggn easy to use with helmets on Straws pop out easily but good product would recommend to anyone . August 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by LaxMom Perfect pick This 6 pack is one you can tote around in the minivan all week and weekend long. Have water available for your own kids, the team, a thirsty coach, you or whoever! No one has to put their mouth on these bc the plastic bottle squeezes quite easily and he water shoots out of the straw. July 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by TeamSnell Helmet sport must have, great for large family We bought these on one of our family's epic and fairly regular trips to Dicks. When all 6 of us troll the aisles there is no telling how much stuff we will Need that day. We are all fans of all sports and love to run or compete in several other field sports. Boys needed new water bottles for lacrosse and one daughter for soccer and really can you ever have too many water bottles that don't require you to put your mouth on the actual water bottle. They are made of a softer plastic, just check the bottom and technically it is #4 plastic per the recycling emblem, so you can squeeze the water out of the bottle rather than sucking on the straw. Perfect for sharing w the other kids who ran out of water at practice. I plan to fill all 6 of these each weekend morning and load them in the carrying case so they stay upright in the minivan and have them available for whoever needs some water. Plus the price for 6 and the case was less than buying 6 separate water bottles and we are a family of 6, sold! July 7, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by BandMom Not High Quality Upon our first use with our group and no mishandling, 2 bottles broke at the cap where the straw was. Very disappointed. Not happy! June 30, 2015

If there was any worry about snowboarder Shaun White and his quest for three consecutive gold medals in the halfpipe event, all those concerns were wiped away on Tuesday. As ESPN reports on Feb. 11, White finished the halfpipe qualifying round with the top score.
White, who was one of a few snowboarders concerned about the weather conditions entering into the event, scored a 95.75 in his first run. That first fun score was enough to qualify the 27-year-old directly into the final and well on his way into perhaps making American history by winning his third straight gold medal.
Shaun White dropped out of the slopestyle event prior to the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi to focus on the halfpipe and he was at top form, stringing together back-to-back double corks in his first heat. White did however have a mishap in his second run, scoring just a 70.75.
White promised after the qualifying round that something special is in the works for the halfpipe final.
"There's definitely something special. I'm going to play it by ear, though."
Americans Danny Davis and Gregory Bretz also qualified for the finals that will take place on Tuesday night.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Rockwell Medical (NASDAQ:RMTI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to treat end-stage renal disease and chronic kidney disease, fell as much as 10% after the company reported its first-quarter earnings results after the closing bell last night.
So what: For the quarter, Rockwell Medical reported revenue of $13 million, a 5% increase over the year-ago quarter, as gross profit jumped 31%, to $1.7 million, and research and development expenses tumbled 64%, to just $4.6 million. The company's net loss for the quarter was practically halved, down 49%, to $7.8 million, or $0.20 per share, from $15.4 million, or $0.72 per share in Q1 2013. By comparison, Wall Street was anticipating a narrower net loss of just $0.14 per share.
Now what: While Rockwell didn't go into a lot of detail about its earnings results, the only factor that really had a demonstrable change was its reduced R&D expenses with the absence of its Triferic trial costs. While investors might feel enticed to duck and cover based on today's wider loss, they should really be focused on the outcome of Rockwell's new drug application filing for Triferic as an iron replacement therapy during dialysis. Triferic performed remarkably well in trials, and my personal expectation is that it'll be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. With annual peak sales expected to be $150 million-$250 million for Triferic (if approved), and the company's costs coming down considerably, I suspect there could be decent upside in shares over the long run following today's swoon.
Rockwell Medical may have plenty of potential, but even if could struggle to keep pace with this top stock over the long run
Give me five minutes, and I'll show how you could own the best stock for 2014. Every year, The Motley Fool's chief investment officer handpicks one stock with outstanding potential. But it's not just any run-of-the-mill company; it's a stock perfectly positioned to cash in on one of the upcoming year's most lucrative trends. Last year, his pick skyrocketed 134%.

"The Rowena Incident" is a heroic scale painting, 9.5' tall x 10' wide, by Stev H. Ominski depicting an interpretive event during the Missoula Ice Age Floods in The Dalles area of the Columbia River. This piece is one of the growing suite of works artist Ominski has produced, illustrating the Ice Age Floods.
This painting was commissioned for the permanent collection of the The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, in 2007 and completed in 2008, where it can be seen and experienced as part of the Discovery Center's Ice Age exhibit.
This is one in a growing suite of paintings and drawings depicting the Missoula Floods as they might have looked when they occurred. Ominski consults with geologists and other specialists in order to create images that are as technically accurate as possible, given current scientific understanding.

I totally agree that the show from the sixth season has been loosing its charm but this season 7 finale has brought big hopes to me.
Despite the necessary thriller part even though few parts of the mystery mask might sound like a child's play. But the dialogues by the end of the season finale was really great. I personally think that its a good start for the show to get back into its track. But I really didnt see the time travelers words coming true.
And in the end like Javier asked ,it still a question for us as well that in the nxt season whether we will hav the couple to solve the homicide or political corruptions, and if Beckett is gonna get busy in her campaign then we might not have
1. the caskett moments or
2. we might not have the crime mystery killer finding moments.
But still I have hope on the writers of Castle.
Im sure that even the Castle crew understood that the show is loosing its charm, as a result I could see the star cast a bit overacting in the last episode. I think this is because of the pressure which they might have faced through the TRPs.
As I am still a die hard fan of Castle's first few seasons I am hoping for the best in the future episodes in season 8.

I have a VSphere installation hosting two Windows Server 2008 R2 installations. One of them is a complete install that serves as a DHCP server and that I use for administration. The other install is a Server Core install that serves as Domain Controller and DNS server.
While the DHCP install always responds to ping, as does the VSphere, the DNS server stops regularly responding to ping and doesn't start working back until I run arp -d to clean the ARP table.
What could be causing this problem?
Thank you.

STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford was unable to generate the offense needed to overcome an early deficit Saturday and dropped a 7-1 decision to No. 1/1 Oregon.
The Cardinal (27-20, 3-14 Pac-12) had its opportunities to score, most notably in the bottom of the sixth inning with the bases loaded and one out, but could not find the hits needed to break through. Conversely, the Ducks (43-5, 16-1 Pac-12) consistently found the clutch hits needed to take the victory.
Kayla Bonstrom led Stanford offensively for the second consecutive game, again going 2-for-3 with a single and a double. Bonstrom has registered four of the Cardinal's eight hits through two games against Oregon.
Bessie Noll and Kylie Sorenson each recorded a single apiece. Sorenson reached base in all three at-bats, being hit by pitches in two of three plate appearances.
Oregon's Karissa Hovinga (13-1) had a strong start in the circle, holding the Cardinal hitless through the first three innings. Hovinga ran into trouble in the sixth inning when Stanford loaded the bases but Jasmine Smithson-Willett came in as relief and got the Ducks out of the jam.
Madi Schreyer (19-12) pitched her second complete game in as many days for the Cardinal, allowing seven runs on eight hits and striking out one. She started the contest strong, keeping Oregon off the board through the first two innings.
The Ducks broke through in the third inning when Janelle Lindvall delivered a two-out two-RBI double, giving Oregon an early 2-0 advantage.
The Ducks posted four additional runs in the fourth inning with another two-out rally. Janie Takeda tripled to left-center to score two runs and was followed by a two-run home run by Kailee Cuico, putting the Ducks up 6-0.
Stanford responded with back-to-back singles from Bonstrom and Sorenson to start the fourth inning but was unable to sustain its rally and push any runs across.
After a scoreless fifth inning, the Cardinal put together its best rally of the afternoon with three of its first four batters reaching base. Noll delivered a bloop-single to left field with the bases loaded, scoring Bonstrom from third. However, that is all Stanford would get with the next batter striking out to end the inning.
The Ducks added one more run in the top of the seventh on an RBI-single by Alexa Peterson to take a 7-1 lead. The Cardinal was unable to generate a rally in the bottom half of the inning and dropped its second consecutive game.
Stanford will look to take the series finale Sunday at noon (PT). Live stats and a radio broadcast on 90.1 KZSU will be available.

research respondents eyes with a so-called TM2 camera..Eye
Resolved Question:
I'm a little concerned, but maybe overdoing it. I work in market research and use an infrared camera to track research respondents' eyes with a so-called TM2 camera and infrared lights made by Eye Tech Digital Systems. These are briefly detailed on
There are no respondent complaints, but when I personally calibrate the research system with my own eyes, thus briefly pointing the camera and lights toward me, a little while later I notice some light flashing in my right eye. While the technology supplier clearly states the technology is safe, and this supplier and perhaps 20-30 more such suppliers around the world are constantly pointing infrared cameras and lights at thousands of patients' and respondents' eyes, is there any possibility that I personally am more sensitive to this infrared stimulus and thus perhaps more subject to eye damage than others?
Thank you so much.

Hello Jerry,
Thank you for your question. When you see these lights after looking at the infrared cameras, how long do they last? How is your vision now? Do you have any persistent blind spots?
Ask Your Own Eye Question
replied 6 years ago.
What I see is very subtle, and only out of the right eye -- to the far right of the visual field. Nothing in the left eye.
Regarding the right eye, there are no "lights," really...it's just a brief, momentary flash which is not sharp. The brief, momentary flash is more like a quick blur, as if a small incandescent bulb were quickly turned on and off on my right side. It occurs perhaps once every 30-60 minutes, as far as I can tell. (I've seen the truly sharp flashes like lightning bolts before and reported them to my primary opthalmologist, who is out of the country right now.
Retinal detachment
was successfully treated by
nine months ago, good recovery, no recurrence of symptoms, frequent follow-ups and examinations by the doctor, no detection of retinal tears, no doctor concerns as of end of July 2009.)
Vision in the right eye is good...ironically better than before the vitrectomy, for a variety of reasons, including the fact that an articifial
was implanted at the time of the vitrectomy (due to
). There have been no complications from the lens implantation, vision is good based on frequent check-ups, no infection, just some capsule clouding which may be corrected in another 6-8 months or so (this to avoid inflammation and potential complications from inflammation). Further, I cannot detect any diminution of vision shortly after the use of the infrared camera and lights.
I have no blind spots of any kind at all that I can detect, anywhere in the visual field. I don't detect any relationship between the use of the infrared camera and lights and blind spots.
I would add that the only medical concern that has arisen in the past year has been
macular pucker
and cystoid
macular edema
, first reported in April 2009 and treated in May 2009 with steroid injections and subsequent drops. The CME has subsided based on OCT and doctor examination and seems to be much better at this time -- there's less waviness in the vision and greater focus in the middle of the visual field.
In truth, this business of "a light incandescent bulb going on and off on the right side" is my brief report of an anomaly that seemed to coincide in time with the use of the infrared camera and lights. Other than this brief report, I am generally a patient who received successful treatment for retinal detachment, recovering fairly smoothly while treating the secondary issues due to macular pucker and CME, with few complaints. This anomaly is sort of an "intrusion," so to speak, on an otherwise normal path of recovery.
If it makes any difference, the infrared camera has to calibrate before starting with any respondent, including myself. This is roughly a 1-2 minute procedure in which you can see your face in the computer screen and you can see small crosshairs on each pupil while you are directed to focus on a series of targets as they move across the computer screen. May not make any difference. Your call.
Also, I have just recently (in the past 4-5 days or so, roughly coinciding with the use of the infrared camera and lights) started to use a prescription soft contacts lens on the right eye for correction of minor
and astigmatism. (It's a toric lens.) No discomfort, seems to fit well, corrects the vision to 20/20 without much complication. Bear in mind that the right eye was seeing about 20/30 without correction by the lens. I'll let you be the judge of whether this is relevant.
Thanks so much, Dr. James.

Hello Jerry,
Thank you for the exhaustive history. It helps to get the complete story.
The short answer is:
I don't think you need to worry.
Now, I'll go into a little more detail.
The diagram above (got from a google search), shows the infrared range to the right of the visible light. This mean that the wavelengths are longer and does not pack as much energy. In contrast, the UV or ultraviolet light has has more engery per unit. Therefore, you have UV protection in your
and sunblock.
So, the IR light should be OK.
I think the quick
flashes of light
you are seeing is likely due to your previous retinal issues. The retina can be stimulated when the remnants of your
moves -- causing these flashes of light.
You should be aware of the warning signs of a retinal detachment. If you have an increase amount of floaters, sudden episode of flashes (light a lightening storm), or veil or curtain your peripheral vision, you should contact your
promplty for a re-evaluation.
If the flashes are stable and your doctor is aware of it with good recent exam, you should be OK.
Remember to press the accept button. It was a pleasure helping you with your question. Feel free to ask any addtional questions.

You're welcome.
Of note, most ophthlamologists will have another ophthalmologist cover them for emergencies while they are on vacation (especially out of the country). So, if you have a urgent need, you should contact his office and ask who the covering doctor is.

NCAA Top 5 Coaching Leaders | Feature Story on Wright's Career
In her 27 seasons as head coach of the Fresno State softball program, Margie Wright directed the Bulldogs to a national title (1998) while guiding the program to the NCAA Women's College World Series 10 times out of the program's 12 appearances. As the first NCAA Division I softball coach and 24th overall in NCAA Division I history, regardless of sport, to amass 1,000 Division I career victories and the first to tally 1,400 fastpitch wins, she owned an impressive 27-year school mark of 1,294-450-1 (.742) and a 33-year career record of 1,457-542-3 (.728). Wright went 81-59 (.579) overall in the postseason and owned a 26-19 Women's College World Series ledger that included an NCAA title, three national runner-up finishes, three third-place showings and three fifth-place finishes in her 10 appearances.
Having become the NCAA's all-time winningest softball coach in 2000, the ten-time conference coach of the year boasted 17 outright or shared conference titles, three WAC tournament championships, 10 regional championship crowns while leading Fresno State to 26 consecutive NCAA postseason appearances from 1986-2011.
Sporting the most CoSIDA Academic All-Americans at Fresno State, Wright has had at least one academic all-district selection in 20 of her 27 years as the Bulldogs' head coach. On the Division I softball level, she ranks No. 1 overall among active coaches with 16 selections while the Bulldog softball program is third overall among all Division I softball schools with 18 honorees.
In addition, she has coached 53 All-Americans, 16 Academic All-Americans, four NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Award winners, four Honda Awards Program softball finalists, 16 NCAA individual and 11 NCAA team statistical champions, eight professionals, 15 Olympians, two NCAA Top VIII Award winners and two No. 1 professional draft picks. With 29 conference player/pitcher/freshman of the year selections under her tutelage, the Bulldogs averaged 48 wins a year while she has made Fresno State one of just five programs in Division I softball to make 10 or more trips to the WCWS.
After garnering her 1,400th career win on March 14, 2011, Wright went on to coach in her 2,000th career game on May 11, 2012 when the Bulldogs beat Louisiana Tech 11-2 in the WAC Tournament. Also in 2012, her final season with the Bulldogs, Wright coached in her 1,700th game at Fresno State when she led the 'Dogs to a 6-3 win over No. 7 UCLA on Feb. 25, 2012.
Wright, who was the first head coach to boast 1,000-plus school and Division I career wins at one school, is the only head coach in the history of the Bulldogs' softball program to garner region coach of the year honors (seven times) and is the third head coach at Fresno State to be recognized as a National Coach of the Year (1998). While the "New" Bulldog Diamond surpassed the 500,000 fan mark in 2009 and home attendance broke the 700,000 mark overall in 2011, Wright owned a 664-138-1 (.829) all-time record at Bulldog Diamond.
In the polls, the Bulldogs set a then NCAA-best mark of 178 consecutive weeks nationally ranked when the polls first started in 1983. In addition, the program ranked among the Top 10 in 154 weeks and ranked in the national polls for 29 consecutive years from 1983-2011.
Per attendance, Fresno State continued to be a dominant draw on the NCAA Division I level under Wright's tenure. Since 1991 when the NCAA has kept official attendance, Fresno State was the nation's top attendance in average per date 13 times in 22 years (unofficially 18 times in 27 years) and in total attendance per season 10 times in 22 years (unofficially 15 times in 27 years).
Upon her retirement, Fresno State ws one of the top two NCAA Division I all-time winningest fastpitch programs with 1,478 wins -- ahead of UCLA, Florida State, Louisiana-Lafayette, California, Michigan, CS Fullerton, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. While owning the NCAA record for 30 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, Fresno State stood third all-time in NCAA Tournament wins (89) and World Series appearances (12). In season-ending NCAA polls, Wright has guided the program to a final Top 25 ranking every year except four times (three years the Bulldogs received votes for a 28th-place finish) and 14 final Top-10 rankings.
A highly sought after public speaker who is nationally and internationally renowned, Wright is only the third head coach of the Bulldogs' softball program and is the winningest coach overall at Fresno State and second among NCAA Division I coaches, regardless of sport.
In the fall of 2013, ASA / USA Softball inducted into her into its hall of fame - her 15th honor after 2012 nods by the St. Louis Softball Hall of Fame as both an individual and team member of the St. Louis Hummers. Four years prior she and her 1998 NCAA National Championship Team were inducted into the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame. In addition, four-time USA Olympic softball medalist Laura Berg was inducted as an individual in the fall 2009 class, giving the program 10 Fresno Athletic Hall of Famers; all who played for Wright through the 2013 class.
In the fall of 2006, Wright was inducted into the Fresno County Women Lawyers.
