Ancient Egyptian buffs and scholars alike are each in for a treat this month, in both Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Cosponsored by the American Research Center in Egypt - New Orleans Interest Group, esteemed Egyptologist, Dr. Aidan Dodson, will be presenting two talks this month. The first on Tuesday, April 15, at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum in Baton Rouge, the second on Wednesday, April 16, at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Dr. Dodson, a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Archaeology & Anthropology at University of Bristol, was Simpson Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo in 2013. He read Egyptian archaeology at Durham, Liverpool, and Cambridge Universities, receiving his BA in 1985, MPhil in 1986, and his PhD in 1995. Dr. Dodson was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2003, and he has been Chairman of the Trustees of the Egypt Exploration Society since 2011. He is the author of several books on ancient Egypt and is currently editing an international history of Egyptology.
The World of Egyptology is the topic of the lecture in Baton Rogue, and the following day Dr. Dodson will be discussing Shelters for Eternity: Ancient Egyptian Coffins and Sarcophagi at Tulane. Both events include a meet and greet, light refreshments, and are scheduled to begin at 5:30 P.M. with the lecture at 6.

Video: First Annual NASP State Championship
After a "virtual" tournament in 2008, the Department held its first statewide tournament (that is, with teams competing in the same location) on February 28, 2009 at the Augusta Expoland in Fishersville, in conjunction with the Western Virginia Sport Show. Teams of 16 to 24 students competed in either Elementary (Grades 4-6), Middle (Grades 7-8), or High School (Grades 9-12) Divisions. Winning teams and individuals were eligible to compete in the national tournament in Kentucky this past May.
Hitting the Mark
by Bruce Ingram
The time is 7:30, Monday morning at the Northside Middle School gym in Roanoke County. Twenty-four students in grades six through eight have arrived to engage in an extracurricular activity with their coach, Bob Shelton, a physical education teacher at the school. But these young people aren't there to improve their jump shots or running times. Instead, they are working on their archery skills as part of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).
"There are so many good things about NASP," Shelton tells me. "One of the kids who joined had been listed as an 'at risk' child, but now he has a reason to come to school and feel a part of things. NASP is also a great way to stimulate a young person's interest in the outdoors.
"At the beginning of the program, of our 24 kids only three of them were bowhunters. Now, seven or eight have bought their own bows and have caught the bowhunting fever. But one of the best things, and also most pleasurable for me, is that these young people are just excited to be here, improving their archery skills."
Karen Holson, who supervises the outdoor education program for the Department (DGIF) and serves as the state NASP coordinator, maintains that such turnarounds are not uncommon because of student participation in NASP.
"There is a grandmother in Newport News who has a wonderful story about her grandson and how he never participated or enjoyed sports in the past but really enjoyed archery. He even asked for a bow for Christmas and now shoots every day after school," she says.
Soon, the satisfying sound of "thwack" is heard throughout the gym as the young folks release arrows toward targets at distances of 10 and 15 meters. Five stations exist and each student shoots five arrows before the next quintet arrives to do the same.
Shelton relates that the National Wild Turkey Federation is a sponsor of NASP and, through the DGIF education program, Northside Middle School has been assigned 12 bows, five targets and arrow-resistant netting, among other things. Community support also has developed: A local archery club, Sherwood Archers, gives students discount memberships, and eight or nine students joined early on. Such support around the state is common, adds Holson.
Learn More about NASP
NASP is designed for students in grades four through twelve and its core content includes archery history, safety, technique, equipment, mental concentration, and self-improvement. Prospective school teachers must undergo an 8-hour instructor certification program referred to as BAI, "Basic Archery Instructor." VDGIF outdoor education staff and certified volunteers conduct the training program.
Karen Holson, VDGIF outdoor education program supervisor and Virginia's state NASP coordinator, relates that NASP positively influences student attendance, behavior, self-esteem, confidence, and on-task behaviors. For more information, contact Karen at email@example.com or call (804) 367-6355.

"We have many other donors and contributors that make this program work," she emphasizes. "The DGIF and my volunteer instructors put in many hours for the Virginia NASP!"
Shelton says that the fervor of his students has even influenced him.
"I hadn't bowhunted in about 10 years until I started coaching these kids," says the Botetourt County resident. "Now because of their passion, I've started back. Sitting in a treestand on an October afternoon after school is a great way to enjoy the fall."
Shelton's program has been so successful that, in 2008, the Roanoke County school won first place in the middle school division. Eighth-grader Will Echols captured the individual award for middle school students.
"Our team winning was really exciting," Echols tells me. "Last year was the first time I had ever shot a bow, and I got really into it. I practice a lot at home, and hopefully I can start bowhunting one day."
Seventh-grader Anna Hensley relates that an incident in phys. ed. class piqued her interest.
"One day we were shooting and Coach Shelton tells me that I would probably be really good at archery and suggested that I come out for the team," she says. "A lot of my friends also said that archery was really fun, and they were right. My dad bowhunts, and maybe I can start going with him."
Three days later, I am in the gym at Hidden Valley High School, another Roanoke County training site for budding archers, on a Thursday afternoon. Teacher Lisa Sink-Morris has just given her "pre-game" pep talk, this one about the importance of peep sights remaining in a fixed location. Then, employing the same whistle that she does for her phys. ed. class, Sink-Morris sounds off. The students commence shooting.
Sink-Morris, who the students affectionately call Coach Mo, has been target shooting for some 25 years and credits her mother for introducing her to the pastime. All in all, some 35 students participate in her NASP team program.
"I have the school eccentrics," laughs Coach Mo. "That is, the ones that aren't interested in playing ball sports or in various club activities. In fact, a lot of my kids weren't participating in anything extracurricular until NASP came along. It gives them a place where they feel comfortable and a part of things."
Later, freshman Wayne Veldsman comes up to Sink-Morris and proudly shows her a "Robin Hood"—that is, two arrows that were shot in the same place on a target, so much so that one arrow's point has buried itself in another arrow's nock.
In 2008, her team finished second in the high school division for Virginia's NASP. But the group's biggest claim to fame was testifying before some 35 members of Congress about the benefits of NASP and why it should continue to receive government funding. Senior McKenzie Vie, who has been on the Hidden Valley team for three years, marvels at that experience.
"It was very interesting testifying before Congress," he tells me. "I had expected those Congressmen to know a little something about archery, but they didn't. So we had to carefully explain to them about the benefits of NASP and archery.
"I found it very difficult trying to teach adults something new. But things must have worked out because Congress did renew the program."
I next approach senior Hannah Kocher.
"This is the only club I've been a member of my whole time in high school," she says. "I really enjoy coming to the gym to shoot."
And that's reason enough for Virginians to be proud that our state is an active participant in NASP.

When the Seahawks and Bears get together Friday night in Seattle, it will be the rubber match between franchises that already have clashed twice this year.
Back in March, they split the results in their head-to-head pursuit of free-agent pass rushers, and Friday will certainly bring a slight feeling of "what could have been" for each side. And even though it is just a preseason game, you can bet the front offices will be watching closely.
The Bears were the biggest threat to the Hawks being unable to keep Michael Bennett, their do-everything pass rusher whose brother plays tight end in Chicago. Bennett ultimately chose to remain in Seattle for a little less money but a much better chance of winning another Super Bowl.
The Bears then got even when they were able to seduce veteran sack man Jared Allen from Minnesota, offering him more money than the Hawks could muster.
The Seahawks were just looking to stack the D-line deck by adding the league's second-leading active sacker (his 128.5 sacks are 12th in NFL history overall and second to John Abraham's 133.5 among pass rushers who are still playing). But Seattle had a budget, and in the end the four-year, $32 million contract the Bears offered the 32-year-old Allen was better than Seattle's offer, which was believed to be similar to Bennett's four-year, $28.5 million package.
Allen and fellow free-agent addition Lamarr Houston (five years, $35 million) create a high-priced pass-rushing tandem for the Bears.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks might have gotten more value out of the money they were willing to spend on Allen: They ended up adding veteran Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kevin Williams (a consolation prize out of Minnesota, where Allen and Williams were teammates) and veteran offensive tackle Eric Winston.
And, with Allen blowing them off for the Windy City, the Seahawks turned back to a familiar face as an option to replace Chris Clemons at LEO. Who needs Jared Allen when you have O'Brien Schofield?
While everyone expected second-year player Benson Mayowa to step into the LEO role, Schofield has been the guy who has stood out. He got good pressure in limited reps in Denver and had a sack, two tackles for loss and four quarterback hits against San Diego last week, seemingly locking up a spot on the Seahawks' roster again.
"O'Brien Schofield is somebody that stood out to me in training camp and through the first two preseason games," defensive coordinator Dan Quinn told reporters Tuesday. "I think he's improved a lot as a rusher, through this offseason, through training camp. We can all feel when a guy is going for it, and I think it's true with O.B. in this training camp."
Coach Pete Carroll said, "He's shown two really solid games of being real active. He's rushed tremendously … and he had a couple plays in the backfield in both games. … He's really on it. He's giving everything he's got to make the club, and he's making a great statement about doing that."
A pretty good turnaround for a player who found himself on the trash heap after the New York Giants rescinded a two-year, $8 million deal because they didn't like one of his knees.
Schofield, who was picked up by the Hawks off Arizona's waivers last July, eventually came back to Seattle on a one-year deal.
Quinn said the Hawks pushed for him to return with the thought of using him exclusively at LEO.
"We know he could always go back and play some SAM linebacker. He's got that in his history both at Arizona and here," Quinn said. "But this year we've exclusively used him as a rusher and are trying to feature him in that way. It's been good. He's totally accepted the challenge and, like I said, you can feel when a guy is going for it -- and I can with him this year."
Quinn said Schofield is much more comfortable after having enjoyed a full offseason of minicamps with the Seahawks.
"He got here during camp last year, so maybe he was still trying to find that identity," Quinn said. "Imagine all of us just walking into a team in the middle of training camp: Where do I fit in? How do I go about this? And then all of a sudden now being here with the offseason and going through it all, it's much different."
The Hawks won the Bennett tug-o-war and the Bears claimed the Allen sweepstakes, but the Hawks might end up being just as happy with Schofield rushing the passer.
We'll get a little teaser Friday when Bennett, Schofield and the Hawks host Allen, Houston and the Bears. And you can bet the front offices of each team will be watching the pass rushers closely.

The Hawks had a chance for a rare road win tonight in New Orleans, but succumbed to a late rally and lost 105-100 to the Pelicans. The loss dropped Atlanta's road record to 9-15 for the season.
Former #1 overall pick Anthony Davis led New Orleans with 27 points and 10 rebounds, making 9 of 14 shots. Brian Roberts helped fuel the Pelicans' comeback, scoring 17 of his 19 points in the second half. Eric Gordon added 18 points.
The Hawks led 83-76 with 7:45 left to play, but could not withstand the rally and lost their second straight game. Paul Millsap had 26 points and 10 rebounds to pace the Hawks, while DeMarre Carroll had a very strong game with 22 points, seven rebounds, and three steals on 9-12 shooting. Jeff Teague had 11 points and 13 assists but made just five of fourteen shots from the floor.
The Pelicans improved to 21-27 but still sit far back in the Western Conference, seven games behind Dallas for the 8-seed. The Hawks fell to 25-23 and fourth in the East, a game behind Toronto.
The Hawks are off until Saturday, when they will host the Memphis Grizzlies (26-22).

A continuous roll stock of thin polyethylene (PE) foam sheets will be offered by JSP for use in many applications such as laminate, automotive, and pressure sensitive tape.
The manufacturing method bypasses the necessity of using complicated chemistry and processing in order to produce eco-friendly cross-linked polymers in extruded sheet foam and offers benefits to foam material users.
This unique method can make thin cross-linked foamed PE sheets and helps to decrease the usage of material without a compromise on the performance. This process ensures better tensile strength, when compared to the equivalent foamed PE sheets, and manufactures products with a higher resistance towards chemical exposure and high temperatures.
According to JSP's General Manager, Kevin Brophy, a new dimension is formed for JSP in North America, through this acquisition of technology and added manufacturing potential. The company is capable of applying worldwide expertise in the sheet foam manufacturing, offering new products to the previous automotive customers in North America. JSP has become a high performance distributor in markets, apart from packaging and automotive.
JSP is looking at new technologies. These include cross-linked polypropylene sheet foam, original oxygen barriers for food processing and polymer-based advancements. Innovation in processing was possibly made by its application of technology developments of JSP, globally.

Kenya Moore Threatens to Sue Blogger, Funky Dineva
Yes, Kenya is very much relevant, and I'm going to keep her thirsty ass on my blog, until she becomes irrelevant AGAIN…
Appartenly, Kenya is clearly feeling some kind of way because she has threatened to sue fellow blogger, Funky Dineva. She claims that Funky Dineva engaged in criminal activity when he posted a pic of a rental check that she gave the bank, which proved that she actually rented her home in ATL and she didn't own it.
Of course, I read the post, but I don't care if she's renting a home or owns one. Hell, I'm glad that she can at least pay for it because we know that those RHOA chicks have eviction and money issues, well allegedly they do. But I appreciate Funky Dineva's view, and I thought it was funny.
Anyway, Kenya released this statement:
As a result of your client, Quentin Latham, posting a stolen check of mine online on his website located at :http://www.funkydineva.com/more-scandal-kenya-moore-renting-4k-roswell-home-rent-check-to-proove-it/, He has since redacted the full address from his initial posting online which we have as evidence, he and his accomplices have broken several laws punishable by jail time. I have spoken to my attorneys and have filed a police report and will be speaking to the DA tomorrow to proceed with Criminal prosecution of Invasion of Privacy, bank fraud and a civil lawsuit. The first two 2 charges mandate jail time if found guilty. As a result of this breach of my security and criminal theft by conversion, my bank accounts have been compromised and hacked. My life and my personal security is not a joke and I will prosecute these relentless and ignorant common criminals to the fullest extent of the law.
My Gawd. This woman is such a horrible liar. When is Kenya Moore going to learn that you can't fix lies with "Moore Lies". lol Let's break down this poor excuse of a scare tactic and once again expose Kenya Moore for the fraud she is:
#1 "As a result of your client, Quentin Latham, posting a stolen check of mine online on his website"Hunty, that checked cleared your bank!! Wasn't nothing stolen about it. The Doll ALWAYS does her homework. You know you got the cancelled check in a folder somewhere. LIES
#2 "As a result of this breach of my security and criminal theft by conversion, my bank accounts have been compromised and hacked"
Listen lady, you really trying to pull it. First off, there is no account information on this check. Secondly you say your "accounts", account in the plural form have been hacked. Since when does one check represent multiple accounts???? Third, at the point in which I am writing this (1:35 am 12/13/12) the check has not even been posted for 24 hours. Someone hacked into your account in the last 12 or so hours with a check that has no account information on it?? ohhh ok… Lastly, in the first part of your email you state that the check is stolen. It would seem to me that if a $4 thousand check that I wrote and signed for JULY'S RENT was indeed stolen, that I would have closed my account out in August, September, October or even November, rendering that account impossible to hack and be compromise 5 months later in December. Yet you call yourself a business woman. Just because you're a woman and you have a business doesn't make you a business woman hunty! Oh and the address, the house, the pictures, ALL PUBLIC RECORD!!!!!
One can argue that posting the check was a lil' extra, but that is what bloggers do. Find the tea, give you the tea, and leave it for you to drink. I honestly do not think that Kenya has a case. Also, I think she is just mad that Walter blew the whistle, and she is trying to find someone to take it out on.
Kenya should just call Iyanla to fix her lif- better yet get a new one. The life that she once knew no longer exists…Get you a piece Kenya…
I love Funky Dineva…keep giving me the T's and thanks.

Roseanne Barr Talks About George Clooney's Dick Prank From Years Ago
Is it really a surprise that 53-year-old George Clooney would pull a prank involving his genitals?
Granted, he has kind of been off the radar for a few months while focusing on humanitarian work and getting engaged. His latest film The Monuments Men was somewhat of a flop, interesting as it was. But a friend of George revealed a fun story about him from yesteryear, reminding us all why we love both the serious and the funny sides of Mr. Clooney.
Gawker, actress Roseanne Barr visited The Talk and told the gals all about a time when George Clooney was working on the Roseanne Show. The dude took a photo of his junk on his last day as a cast mate and posted it on the fridge in the famous Roseanne kitchen for all the staff and cast to see.
"We would laugh at it all the time, and about the second day it disappeared," said Barr. "I thought it would surface by now but maybe they don't know it was George Clooney."
That's some old school shit right there! Oh the days before camera phones, when someone actually had to premeditate their own dick pic, get it developed on actual film, and then go through the process of posting it by hand. None of this impulsive stalker style sexting for Georgey boy. Imagine it, a photo of Clooney's penis just floating around somewhere in the universe.

Spring Cleaning for Your Skin
The skin and body change with each season, especially from winter to spring. As you tackle your annual spring cleaning, make sure to show your skin the same attention. Here are some tips on how to switch up your beauty routine and welcome the warmer weather with flawless skin.
Exfoliate & Renew
The harsh winter weather can leave skin rough, dry and flaky. By exfoliating your face and body, you can slough away that unwanted top layer of dead skin cells and reveal the baby-soft skin beneath the surface. Exfoliating serums and scrubs like Skin Perfecting Serum and Pür Polish not only stimulate cell turnover and collagen production, but also help remove pore-clogging dirt, debris and oil for a clear, brilliantly clean complexion. Beware of abrasive chemical exfoliators, which can irritate skin and cause further drying and flaking. Instead, look for formulas containing gentle, natural exfoliants, such as citrus oils and glucosamine, which promote healthy cell growth.
Mist & Hydrate
The onset of spring means more time spent outside. As you enjoy the fresh air, remember to keep cool and stay hydrated. An invigorating, lightweight alternative to those thick winter moisturizers, a misting spray will help perk up your complexion and encourage your skin to retain vital moisture. To mist your way to radiant skin, try Fulvic Mineral Mist by Pür Minerals. With over 70 essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, this soothing hydration treatment binds moisture to skin and rejuvenates cells with vital nutrients. Keep a bottle handy and spritz throughout the day to hydrate tired, dry or stressed skin and give your makeup a quick pick-me-up.
Refresh Your Makeup Bag
Take the new season as an opportunity to discard any old or expired beauty products—which may be harboring dirt, bacteria and oil—and make room for fresh, new makeup. Your skin tone tends to change between winter and spring, so you may want to replace your foundation and replenish your supply with a few lighter, brighter spring hues. While some colour products (especially mineral makeup) have an extended shelf life, others, like mascara, should be replaced more frequently. Follow that age-old beauty adage, "when in doubt, toss it out," to keep your makeup and your skin in tip-top shape.

From the Expert
"No matter what your age, it is important to adjust your skin care program to reflect seasonal change. Exfoliate and hydrate regularly—and always wear sunscreen—to undo winter's dulling, drying effects and revitalize your skin for spring." Joli Baker, Pür Minerals President
More Spring Cleaning Tips
Spring cleaning isn't only skin deep. To look and feel your best this season, show your body some tender, loving care.
- Curb Your Cravings – Cut out the sugar and caffeine and load up on foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants like fresh fruits, green veggies, seeds and nuts.
- Catch Some Zzzs – Averaging seven to nine hours of sleep will help keep your cells functioning properly and give your skin a healthy, well-rested glow.

Brian's exclusive forecast for Washington DC:
Tonight: Rain showers likely. Breezy at times. Low around 50.
Saturday: Windy at times with increasing sunshine. The high will be around 60.
Saturday Night: Mostly clear with a low in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
Sunday: Mostly sunny with a high in the mid 50s.
The extended forecast calls for a chance of rain showers on Monday with a low in the mid 40s and a high in the mid 50s. Clouds and sun on Tuesday with a low in the mid 40s and a high in the mid 50s. Mostly sunny on Wednesday with a low in the lower 40s and a high in the upper 50s. Mostly sunny on Thursday with a low in the upper 30s and a high in the lower 60s.
Weather Summary
A frontal system near the border of Virginia and North Carolina will lifted northward through the region today as a warm front. Meanwhile, a cold front will swing through the area from west to east toward morning. This will add to the instability in the atmosphere and produce more widespread showers and perhaps an isolated thundershower. Additionally, conditions will become windy toward morning as cooler and drier air overspreads the area in the wake of the cold front. Saturday will become increasingly sunny as the cold front moves to our southeast, but it will be windy at times with highs in the 50s to near 60. Sunday looks to be the most pleasant day of the weekend, although a bit cooler with highs only in the lower to middle 50s; however, winds will be much lighter on Sunday. By Monday, another frontal system will produce widespread rain showers in the Middle Atlantic region before sunshine returns next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Oxford English Dictionary has codified this by using the Benedict Cumberbatch series as its example to define the new word, "ship."
Any fan of the show is unlikely to be surprised by this, since dedicated "Sherlock" fans ship Sherlock and Watson, Sherlock and Molly, Sherlock and Moriarty, and just about any other coupling that the program manages to offer. Which one did
Oxford pick for the dictionary? As "Sherlock" co-star Louise Brealey points out, it's the Sherlock-Molly pairing:
It's a good choice. Not only is this a rather passionate ship of the "Sherlock" world, it became especially important after Molly was the one person integral to Sherlock surviving Moriarty's forced suicide at the end of Season 2.
Will the dictionary need to change its example in the future? Only "Sherlock" Season 4 — airing at some point in the indeterminate future — may have the answer.

Star Wars: The Old Republic goes Free to Play amid slumping subscriber figures.
EA may well be trembling in their sports based boots just about now. Despite securing one of the biggest licenses in history – the Star Wars Saga – and creating a high profile launch for their IP, 'The Old Republic', it appears the struggling MMO may well be in trouble amid reports of less than stellar subscriber figures. Less than a year old (Eight months since its release in late 2011) and with over two and a half million sales to date, the game still only managed to maintain 1.5 million subscribers. However with numbers dropping off, EA is determined to start damage limitation to stop the game from crashing early into its life.
To this end, EA has recently announced that 'The Old Republic' will be becoming a free to play title, with only certain extras being kept for the paid subscribers. Paid subscribers are now known as 'premium players' and now receive bonus Cartel Coins (the in-game currency) to use throughout the game world. Players can now level up their characters to level 50 in story mode without having to play the traditional $15 per month fee. However, most other features such as Warzones, Flashpoints and Space Missions are limited for free users, with Operations only being accessible to those who opt in for the paid subscription. The free to play option will be introduced this fall, and if you want more details on the differences between the two options, visit http://www.swtor.com/free/features .
In an transcript published by Seeking Alpha (which can be read here at http://seekingalpha.com/article/767281-electronic-arts-management-discusses-q1-2013-results-earnings-call-transcript?page=4 ), EA Labels President Frank Gibeau was to the point about the lowering subscriber numbers, while also stating that as long as the game managed to maintain half a million players, The Old Republic will ultimately break even financially. He also explained the motive behind turning the Star Wars MMO into a free to play title rather than continue compulsory charging of consumers.
"Although it launched well, subscriptions have been on the declining trajectory and have now slipped below 1 million. Last year, we announced that the breakeven point was roughly 500,000 subscribers. And while we are well above that today, that is not good enough. The message from players exiting the game is clear, 40% say they were turned off by the monthly subscription and many indicate they would come back if we offered a free-to-play model."
Gibeau also added that a price drop would be placed in effect in only a couple of days, saying: "Beginning August 6, Star Wars: The Old Republic will retail for $14.99, essentially offering the first month for free." The EA Labels President also added that the sales figures for The Old Republic were not worrying to the firm due to the overwhelming response to Battlefield 3, which has shifted over 15 million units worldwide to date. Gibeau said he "couldn't be more pleased" at how the company divisions allowed for the losses from 'The Old Republic' to be counteracted by the popular shooter series.
Even with the lower than expected figures, 'The Old Republic' being part of such a big series as Star Wars will no doubt pick up players in the near future. By becoming free to play, EA hopes it will attract new players who may have opted out of the galaxy sized MMO the first time round.

At 10 am this morning, President Barack Obama awarded 16 Medals of Freedom. This is the 50th anniversary of the Medal of Freedom being initiated by the late president John F. Kennedy, a call to service. This is the highest civilian award possible to receive. Obama uses his charm and personality to carry the crowd.
As an example, during the course of the speech the president made an off the cuff remark, telling the crowd 'we all have moments when we look back and wonder what was I thinking…' The president looked at the audience and delivered the punch line, saying 'I know I have" Most likely a reference to the ongoing Affordable Care Act debacle.
Although this is a day to remember John F. Kennedy who initiated nationwide appreciation for the bold actions of fellow Americans who have the passion to change our country, it is also a time to reflect on how Barack Obama has benefited from the Kennedy Legacy although he was too young to actually know the revered President Kennedy.
The 2013 honorees for the Medal of Freedom in alphabetical order are Ernie Banks from the Chicago Cubs, Ben Bradlee the former Washington Post Editor, 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton, Daniel K. Inouye the Asian American politician from Hawaii, Dr. Daniel Kahneman the 2002 Nobel Prize winner who studies human judgement, Richard G. Luger a senator for thirty years who worked on nuclear disarmament, Loretta Lynn the legendary country music performer, the 1995 Nobel Prize winning chemist Mario Molina who was born in Mexico, Sally K. Ride the deceased first woman astronaut whose lesbian partner accepted for her, the deceased Bayard Ruston the former Martin Luther King advisor, known for his open support of homosexuality had his partner accepting his medal, Arturo Sandoval the Jazz musician who risked everything and defected from Cuba to share his love for jazz music with the world, University of North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith, the well known feminist Gloria Steinem who initiated take our daughter to work day, Rev. C. T. Vivian of the freedom movement , Judge Patricia Wald of the U S Circuit court and last but not least, the iconic Oprah Winfrey a global media icon whose name is known across the world.
During the presentation, the president made the comment that 'this country has a place for everybody ready to serve.' The Medal of Freedom Honorees speak volumes about race relations and human relations in America because of their diverse lives. This is a great event to showcase the essence of the American spirit. It inspires the belief that each of us can make a contribution to the improvement of race relations and advancement of the American dream.
The president also made a statement about social transformation when he commented on Oprah Winfrey being advised to change her name to 'Suzy' to gain the acceptance of the American public. We've come a long way, baby.Social transformation in America is an ongoing process with many examples of success as these 2013 award recipients have proven.

Dec. 8, 2010
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – University of Arizona freshman swimmer Margo Geer was named Pac-10 Swimmer of the Month for the month of November after totaling nine event wins over three dual meets for No. 7 Arizona.
Geer from Milford Center, Ohio took the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events against Wisconsin on Nov. 5 by posting NCAA consideration times in each, highlighted by her 22.75 in the 50. She picked up her fourth win of the afternoon by leading off the 200 free relay winning team, splitting a 22.79 in the process.
Against USC in Los Angeles, Geer continued her winning ways, taking both the 50 and 100 freestyle and leading off the 200 freestyle relay with a split time of 22.58 as UA picked up the win in the event. Additionally, Geer also placed second in the 200 freestyle. All four of her times on the day were NCAA consideration cuts.
The following day at UCLA, Geer won the 50 and 100 freestyle with times of 23.17 and 49.67, respectively. She also placed third in the 200 free with a time of 1:49.39.
Recently at the Texas Invitational, Geer ripped off the fastest 50 and 100 freestyle times in the country, sprinting to a 22.16 in the 50 free and 48.51 in the 100 free. Geer also was third in the 200 free and on both 200 medley and 400 freestyle winning relays for UA while in Austin.

Monica Lewinsky was a young intern, working in Washington D.C. She must have been so excited when she landed a position in the White House. And then she had direct contact with the President of the United States. Imagine for a moment that YOU are an upcoming young intern with a bright and promising future ahead of you. Imagine being flirted with by one of the most powerful men in the world - a handsome, charming, and charismatic man. And imagine the sense of danger and excitement, the delicious fear of being discovered in an indiscreet rendezvous.
Such is the innocence of a young person coming of age. And then, in an instant, her world came crashing down - forever. Anyone who heard the news during that time could not help but associate her name, Monica Lewinsky, with inappropriate sexual scenes. The media relentlessly focused on this relationship, from the first time that President Bill Clinton blatantly said: "I did not have sex with that woman." Although the president, his wife, Hilary Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, were certainly embarrassed by the public furor, each of them had an entourage of support. The president was seen as a sexy, maybe oversexed, man who had overstepped his professional boundaries. His wife and daughter were viewed as innocent victims of an overly sexual, unfaithful, husband and father.
But Monica Lewinsky had no avenue for personal redemption. Married women viewed her as a jezebel, someone who would pray on a husband for her own satisfaction. Single women forgot about women's liberation and kept quiet. Men, both married and single, viewed her as a sexually loose woman unworthy of respect. So she did the only thing a beautiful, innocent young lady might do. She hid under the covers, suicidal, in the safety of her parents' home. At least she had a good relationship with her mother so she had someone who cared about her and helped her to get through the most devastating and humiliating experience of her life.
Imagine yourself being caught in such a precarious situation. Think about times in your life when you did something inappropriate. And now imagine that it was broadcast throughout the media, on TV, radio, the internet, and everywhere. How might your life be changed forever?
Monica Lewinsky has finally opened up about this life changing event. She was driven by a sense of humanitarian responsibility to make a difference in the lives of other people who are publicly humiliated. What spurred her to action was the suicide of an 18 year old boy, Tyler Clementi, who was videotapted kissing another man. Too humiliated to deal with his personal shame, when this video went global on the web he took his life.
Why are we so cruel in our judgements of others? Any one of us could easily fall into a compromising situation. As a society, we need to embrace kindness, forgiveness and loving each other as ourselves. Isn't that what we are taught in the bible?

By Paul
Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
PARIS -- When American
dancers get misty-eyed about what they believe is the more intellectually
grounded European scene, they are often thinking about creators
like Josef Nadj and Maguy Marin. Both were featured in New York's
multi-venue France Moves festival in 2001. Personally, I have been
trying to recover the compellingly sombre, intellectually 'absurdist'
Nadj, whose "The
Watchers" enthralled me in NY, for the past five years.
Except for "Petit Psaume du matin," his 2001 duet
with the entrancing Pina Bausch veteran Dominique Mercy, I have
been largely disappointed. Like his fellow France-based heavy-weight
Angelin Preljocaj, Nadj too often falls prey to props for no apparent
(even apparently 'absurdist') reason. Yet throughout, Nadj himself
-- as a performing personality -- has remained compelling to watch,
with a charisma on the level of other choreographer-performers like
Bill T. Jones, Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, and Jean Babilee. Had
"Last Landscape," which opened Tuesday at the Rockefeller-constructed
Cite Internationale, in a co-presentation with the Theatre de la
Ville, been another group work, I might have abstained this time
around. Instead, I jumped at the chance to see Nadj dance more or
less solo, accompanied on stage by composer-percussionist Vladimir
Tarasov. I am happy to report that the body -- which so often these
days seems indeed like a lost landscape in dance, on its last legs
-- has re-asserted itself.
As has Nadj's strength
in setting a mood. 'Absurd' should not be confused with frivolous.
If "Last Landscape" begins in an 'absurdist' mode, what keeps it
from being light-weight is the strict seriousness with which Nadj
and Tarasov pursue their tasks. The first is to drop ping-pong balls
into pans of various sizes (and timbres) arrayed on a miniature
billiard-like table, thus opening the percussive score. Every move
is seriously considered, as they ponder which pan to drop a ball
into next from their opposing sides of the table -- even the humor,
when they have a ping-pong like exchange of balls, is well-timed
to leaven without undermining. Sure, they don red clown noses before
they start -- Tarasov's circular, Nadj's a cone -- but they do it
so ceremoniously that the effect is more to announce 'the play is
beginning' then to ridicule the stage. When this prelude concludes
and we only know that Tarasov is crossing to his drumset on the
other side of the stage by his nose blinking Rudolf-like in the
darkened terrain -- a sort of beacon in the last landscape, perhaps
-- the bit of illuminative nonsense makes sense.
Before I describe what
follows, perhaps this is the time to pause and tell you what Nadj
says he was looking to do here, which is not that complex: Return
to his physical roots, geographically and in his own body. "For
this work," he says in Irene Filiberti's program notes as roughly
translated by me, "I abandoned the literary references that usually
serve to support my work. I preferred to return to the research
of my own movements -- what you might call the origins." But he
also wanted to change his research space, so he left the studio
to live "in contact with nature," and open himself "to other internal
sensations." This he did, over different seasons, in the fields
not far from Kanizsa, the Hungarian town in the former Yugoslavia
where Nadj was born. In addition to researching how the body responds
to the country landscape, a parallel goal was to address the paysage
as does the painter -- to, among other things, "reconsider the rupture
between two languages: painting and dance." On top of these relationships,
once he hit the stage he was also interested in dialoguing with
the music.
In Josef Nadj, we find
someone acutely attuned to and trying to understand the various
landscapes which he's exploring and surveying: completely internal,
of his own body, the theatrical space, the outdoor landscape he's
trying to suggest to us, the musical canvas, the painted one --
even the projected. As often, he performs here in matching black
suit jacket and pants over a white shirt, and I don't think we should
take this as a lightly considered effect; indeed, the result is
empathy -- with that sad clown face, Nadj always suggests not a
scrubbed dancer but a normal guy, encountering the world, thus allowing
the normal people in the audience to enter more easily into the
experience with him.
This is not to say he
doesn't prove his dancer chops! The initial musician-dancer duet
is a tour-de-force, Nadj responding ferociously -- without ever
losing his equilibrium -- to Tarasov's batterie. Did I say 'responding'?
It's not always in this order. About midway through this first passage,
the lead seems to switch, with the drummer responding to the dancer.
And always -- and I think this is one of the things I love about
Nadj -- he retains the sense of wonder in the magic that's being
produced, each moment holding the potential for discovery.
"Last Landscape" continues
through March 25 at the Theatre of the Cite Internationale, with
Sunday performances in the afternoons and no shows on Wednesdays.
It's a co-production of just about everybody, including the Centre
Choregraphique National d'Orleans, directed by Nadj. If you're a
presenter reading this outside of France, you might also want to
know that this production has French taxpayer support for foreign

College Hockey:Lewicki, Menke, Score Goal and Assist to Lead Ferris State Over Michigan State
Pococke has two assists
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Ferris State made a strong statement in the first half of a battle for second place in the CCHA with a 4-1 win over Michigan State Friday night.
Second-period goals from Aaron Lewicki, Mike Fillinger and Kyle Bonis paved the way for the Bulldogs' victory
"Ferris was real good," said Michigan State coach Rick Comley. "It looked like we really struggled getting comfortable. It's a tough, tough environment. Not just the crowd; you feel like you're in a closet."
Ferris State carried play through the first two periods while Michigan State took command in the third.
In the first, Ferris State outshot the Spartans 7-2, with Michigan State not registering a shot on goal until after the 13-minute mark of the frame. However, sophomore goalie Drew Palmisano kept Ferris State off the scoreboard.
Seven minutes into the second period, Lewicki lit the lamp for Ferris State's first goal of the night. Palmisano left a rebound lying just outside the crease. Justin Menke got to the puck first, but Palmisano made a great glove save before Lewicki lifted the second rebound over the sprawling netminder.
With nine minutes to play in the second, Palmisano left another rebound lying in the crease that Fillinger buried as Palmisano tried to locate it.
Seconds later, Ferris State goalie Pat Nagle made a huge pad save on a one-timer attempt from Kevin Walrod at point-blank range.
With four minutes to play in the second period, Bonis made it a three-goal game with a backhand shot off a pass from Derek Graham during a Ferris State two-on-one.
"We played really well for the first period and a half," said Ferris State coach Bob Daniels "We got really loose in the third and left Nagle out to dry in the third period too much."
Michigan State scored three minutes into the third period to cut the Ferris State lead to two. Derek Grant deflected a shot by Torey Krug for a power-play goal.
Michigan State skated with much more energy after the goal and outshot Ferris State 15-5 in the period.
"I thought Pat stood tall, but I would have liked a better response," said Daniels.
While Michigan State had the energy in the period, Justin Menke's goal with six minutes remaining in the game killed any chance of a comeback. With Nick Sucharski in the penalty box for cross-checking, Menke deflected a perfect pass from Lewicki over Palmisano's shoulder.
While he felt his team was outworked, Comley was optimistic about tomorrow night's series finale.
"This game won't affect tomorrow; you have to come out and play," said Comley.
The two teams will conclude their season series tomorrow night at Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing with a 5:05 start time.

Health & Pregnancy
15% Get Pregnancy-Related Depression
Sept. 28, 2007 -- Depression and pregnancy may not seem to go together, but a new study shows that more than one in seven women are depressed in the nine months before pregnancy, during their pregnancy, or in the nine months after giving birth.
The new research expands on information already known about depression after childbirth. "People have known for quite a while that postpartum depression is a serious, sometimes devastating event," says researcher Evelyn Whitlock, MD, MPH, senior investigator at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore. "One of the things we were able to do is look across the spectrum -- nine months before pregnancy, the nine months of pregnancy, and the nine months postpartum. I think this is the first study to do that."
The results also seem to confirm that women with a history of depression are at higher risk for postpartum depression. "I think it's important that women realize that postpartum depression doesn't just come out of the blue," Whitlock tells WebMD. "About 54% of women [in the study] identified as having postpartum depression had also been identified either before or during pregnancy as being depressed."
The study, with an accompanying editorial urging more research, is published in the October issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
(Have you felt depressed during your pregnancy? Talk about it on WebMD's Pregnancy: Friends Talking message board.)
Depression and Pregnancy
Whitlock and her colleagues evaluated 4,398 women, all members of the Kaiser Permanente HMO, who had given birth between 1998 and 2001.
Before pregnancy, 8.7% were identified as depressed by their health care providers; 6.9% were classified as depressed during the pregnancy, and 10.4% were depressed in the nine months after delivery. In all, 15.4%, or more than one in seven of the women, were depressed during at least one of the three periods.
About half of the women who had postpartum depression also were depressed before the pregnancy occurred or during pregnancy. More than half of those depressed before pregnancy became depressed during the pregnancy, suggesting the condition is not temporary or relieved by getting pregnant or by giving birth.

Trying To Keep My Focus
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Hello Spark People!
Today I'm thinking about how hard it is to lose weight. It's so hard to focus on the goal when there's so many temptations out there. Not to mention I didn't feel like working out today, but did because I remember what I needed to do and what good bod I want.
Good thing today: I've worked out and try to keep track of what I ate. I've also wrote down small goals that I want to accomplish.
Bad thing: I ate a bit too much sweets. Not good and not to mention my wisdom teeth hurts. I seriously need to get rid of it since it's being a pain. I ate too much today I think.
I know Valentine's Day is just around the corner (or more like in a day or two) and my mouth has been itching to eat some chocolate, which I have been doing the past couple of day as I received and almost unlimited supply from a friend. Not a good idea to have this much chocolate around but at the same time at least it keeps me from eating too much or at least I hope so.
Hopefully: By the end of this month I can lose 10 pounds at most. I hope that by May I will be 130 lbs or less or around there since there's so many things I need to be thinner for. Mainly myself. However I tried using a dress that I bought as a motivation. The dress is a bit smaller, hopefully one of these days I'll be able to wear it.
I've decided that I'll wear the dress under these conditions or these are the motivation for wearing that dress (and possibly I can buy a new dress too):
1. If I reach 130 lbs.
2. For my birthday I want to look nice.
3. For my sister's graduation.
4. For my friend's wedding.
5. A treat and celebration for me losing 20 something pounds.
If I reach 115-120 lbs then I can buy myself a new dress. I've realized that every pound counts and that it all adds up. That even 10 lbs does make a difference on a person. Anyway, I'm trying to find motivations that will keep my eye on the prize.
Thanks for reading! :)
