Grewes adopted by ND football
MIDDLEBURY — The stocking cap on a small frame stood out among the dozens of fully-padded Notre Dame football players.
Wedged between 6-foot-4 Daniel Smith and 6-3 John Goodman, 14-year-old Sam Grewe swayed back and forth during the alma mater following Notre Dame's Senior Day win over Wake Forest. Sam didn't know the words, but he watched and listened with an ear-to-ear grin.
It had been a rough week for Sam. The chemo left him sick to his stomach, and he hadn't eaten in five days. He threw up Saturday morning, right as the Grewes got to their pre-game tailgate.
But he wasn't going to miss this moment for the world.
Later, in the locker room, head coach Brian Kelly awarded the game ball to Notre Dame's four captains. The captains called Sam up to the front and asked him to lead the cheer.
Sam stood on a chair, a tall order for a boy with a prosthetic right leg, in front of the entire team. But Sam felt safe.
He had Kelly and Manti Te'o by his side.
It started with a sharp pain in his right knee during the basketball season, initially dismissed by parents Randy and Michelle Grewe as typical growing pains.
Sam, then 13, was the leading scorer and rebounder on Northridge Middle School's seventh grade basketball team. He had just finished the football season, where he was a cornerback, punter, kicker and top receiver.
The knee pain didn't subside, and just days before Christmas last year, Sam was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his right knee.
"There were so many decisions to make in the beginning, you kind of go autopilot," Michelle Grewe said. "You just get through the day, through the day, through the day."
Sam elected to undergo rotationplasty — a surgery that removes part of the limb, while the remaining portion is rotated and reattached. Sam wanted to return to sports and avoid becoming — in his words — a "fat, lazy dad" some day.
"He could have gotten surgery where they put a metal knee in and save the leg but then he wouldn't be able to do any sports," Michelle Grewe said. "Climbing hills or going in the ocean, the waves could even break it."
While Sam prepared to face 21 rounds of chemotherapy and 120 nights in the hospital, the Middlebury community reaction was swift and powerful.
Days before his official diagnosis, Michelle Grewe and her sister created a Facebook page to keep friends and family up to date on Sam's journey. Nearly a year later, "Sam Grewe Updates" has more than 1,660 followers.
Fundraisers and dinners and letters from well-wishers rolled in. Randy and Michelle began seeing "Sam Strong" T-shirts and silicon bands in the grocery store and at Northridge football games.
While Randy and Michelle spent their nights with Sam in the hospital, their 16-year-old daughter, Audrey, was at the mercy of others for transportation.
"(Sam) and Audrey have been surrounded by examples of giving from the community," Michelle said. "Whether financial or it's food or it's cards or it's leading a fundraiser, a whole spectrum of things. They've had that role model to them."
Forty miles west of Middlebury, Brian Kelly had caught wind of Sam's story.
As the head coach of Cincinnati in 2009, Kelly's Bearcats had "adopted" Mitch Stone, a local pediatric cancer patient. Kelly said he wanted his team to give Mitch strength during his battle with cancer.
Now in his third year at Notre Dame, Kelly wanted to bring the program to the Irish, and Sam Grewe caught his eye.
"Sam's story is a unique story," Kelly said. "Here's an athlete who played sports and, because of cancer, was going to lose his leg and then the way that the prosthesis was put together became more of an interesting situation. He wants to be an athlete and he wants to be around athletes."
Kelly was no stranger to the physical and emotional toll cancer takes on a patient. His wife, Paqui, is a two-time breast cancer survivor. That shared experience gave Kelly a unique insight to Sam's situation.
"How you feel about cancer and how you deal with it are so individual based on the circumstances," Kelly said. "But it gave me great insight to what he needed, and what I thought he could provide for our players too, a young man who has so much in front of him and I think that's what kind of got me to want to push to make Sam part of the family."
Notre Dame director of player development Ernest Jones approached Randy and Michelle Grewe about adopting Sam in early April. Randy Grewe, a Purdue graduate who had "brainwashed" his children into Boilermaker fandom, was hesitant at first, but he and his wife decided to see what Notre Dame had in mind.
The program moved quickly, setting up an adoption ceremony with Sam and his family a week and a half later.
When the Grewes walked down the steps of the Isban Auditorium for the first time, the entire Notre Dame football team, dressed in white "Grewe Crew" T-shirts, welcomed them with a standing ovation.
After Kelly welcomed the family, each player introduced himself and passed along words of encouragement to Sam.
Defensive lineman Kona Schwenke told Sam that he was his new "kaikaina," Hawaiian for "little brother." Other players stood up and talked about how cancer had personally touched their lives. Sam went home armed with Notre Dame hats and gloves and jackets, a team-autographed "Play Like a Champion Today" sign and a Notre Dame helmet.
The next day, the Grewes drove to Indianapolis. The day after that, Sam was in surgery.
"It made a difference," Michelle Grewe said of the ceremony. "We were very scared about the surgery and to have that happen Monday night and have the family all together, it definitely kept our mind off of what was happening."
Randy Grewe wasn't sure what to say to his son after surgery. He played out different scenarios in his head, expecting to walk into the room and break down in tears.
When he visited his son after the surgery was over, Sam raised a closed fist and quipped, "Amputee's thumbs up."
Randy Grewe turned to his wife on the way out and said, "I can't believe how easy that was."
Throughout his 100-plus nights in the hospital, nurses have told the Grewes that Sam is the most positive teenage boy they've ever treated. Sam comes off as quiet and reserved at first, but the medical staff at Memorial Hospital soon learned that the 14-year-old was bursting with wit and a positive attitude.
Sam's attitude caught the attention of several Notre Dame players, too, and he grew close with walk-on Grant Patton, John Goodman, Robby Toma, Carlo Calabrese and Braxston Cave over the course of the season.
The Grewes were welcomed to the Caves' weekly dinners, especially after Randy Grewe, owner of Old Hoosier Meats, donated slabs of ribs. After each home game, Sam hangs out with the team at their post-game tailgate.
"He definitely reminds me of myself when I was young," Goodman said. "He plays the same exact way. He does the same exact thing. He has that dream again to get back out there on the field, and I am completely with him on that. I pray and I hope that can happen."
Patton and Sam became especially close, their relationship blossoming after Patton visited Sam at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis around Easter. Patton brought Sam two boxes of hot wings. Sam, who hadn't eaten in three days, happily wolfed them down.
While Patton hoped to serve as a mentor to Sam, the walk-on defensive end found Sam inspiring him in return.
"On the scout team, I get banged up and beat up a lot of days," Patton said. "There's moments when a lot of stuff hurts but it doesn't take long thinking of Sam to realize I can just lace up my cleats and run on the field. It puts a lot of the little aches and bumps in perspective."
Over the course of the season, Sam could be seen roaming the rows of Notre Dame players during pre-game stretches. During the games, he watches from the sideline, rubbing elbows with the likes of Vince Vaughn, Hines Ward, Jon Bon Jovi and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp.
An entire wall of the Grewes' basement is devoted to Sam's pictures with famous actors and athletes. The autographed "Play Like a Champion" sign greets visitors near the front door. Sam's bedroom features a collage of pictures from Senior Day hanging over his own sports trophies.
A few weeks ago, Paqui Kelly called the Grewes to check on Sam.
"She said, 'Brian is not very good with dates, but the date (I) finished my last round of chemo. ... That was one of the most important dates to him,'" Michelle Grewe recalled.
If all goes as planned, Sam will finish his last four rounds of chemotherapy by February. He hopes to be well enough to try out for the football team at Northridge High School by the fall. Notre Dame hopes to keep Sam on board for years to come.
"We're ready to get to normal," Michelle Grewe said.

Washington D.C. — Students from Mountain View High School and Shahala Middle School competed in the U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl last week in the nation's capital.
The team from Shahala advanced to the top eight of the competition before being eliminated. The Mountain View team did not reach the top 16.
The National Science Bowl is a nationwide academic competition that tests students' knowledge in all areas of science. Teams are quizzed in a fast-paced question-and-answer format like that of the TV show Jeopardy. Teams are four or five students each, with a teacher who serves as an adviser and coach.

Mrs Cherub,
I just sent a PM suggesting you do just this, and get the numbers in. I was going to order 10 copies, but then thought that if the printing is limited I don't want anyone else not to get one. So therefore may I request 5, with a view to increasing if we get enough printed, or decreasing if there aren't enough to go around.
May I be the first of many!! Well done everyone for getting a fantastic idea to fruition!!
When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get even.

Hi, put me down for five too, and once the account details are available I'll also send the bid I made for the first signed copy, whether I get it or not as I could see logistical problems getting it out to me; so start the bidding again why don't we, who's going to make the first bid?!
Regards, Ian.

Hi guys and gals,
I don't wish to step on anyones toes, however I understand that with the dreadful credit crunch and general tightening of belts, some of you would perhaps want to contribute by purchasing, but may only want 1 calendar. Please please put your order in, even for 1, every penny counts. I know myself and Ian ordered 5, and don't want this to be seen as deterring anyone from saying they want 1. I just want every aunt and uncle to have one to never let Mr Diddyskipper forget!!

Turkey's Black Sea Coast
The road running parallel to the coast from Amasra to Trabzon reflects the character of the Black Sea in all its myriad aspects, from nature and culture to history and traditional everyday life.
To those arriving from Bartın, the Black Sea appears suddenly in all its glory just before Amasra. And from this hill where the Black Sea first comes into view, the 'Bird's Rock', built in 41-54 A.D. during the reign of the Emperor Claudius on the tortuous road that winds down to Amasra, speaks volumes about the past of this area, the first stop on our journey. The only Roman road monument in Turkey, it consists of a rock-carved statue of an emperor and an eagle, symbol of Roman power.
Situated on a peninsula and the island joined to it by an isthmus, Amasra's geographical features are not readily apparent to first-time visitors. On one side of the peninsula is the Little Harbor and on the other the Big Harbor, a port sheltered by a breakwater that protects it from the Black Sea's destructive waves. The promontory at the tip of the peninsula is encircled by high Genoese-period defense walls, whose walls are laced with marble fragments left from previous civilizations.
Amasra, which awed Mehmet the Conqueror with its spectacular view in 1460, continues to be remembered in the Sultan's words as the 'Eye of the World'. When he saw the city and conquered it, he is said to have turned to his tutor Ak ?emsettin who was at his side and asked, "Is this the 'Çeşm-i Cihan'?", virtually conferring a second name on the city.
The coast road from Amasra to Sinop is one of Turkey's most pleasant highways. A little rough in places, it nevertheless preserves the pristine quality of nature on the coastal strip. Villages nestled in greenery, tiny settlements cheek by jowl with the sea, and charming golden sand beaches are some of the surprises that greet you every step of the way.
The Kapısuyu, Çakraz, Tekkeönü and Kurucaşile beaches rather astonishingly call to mind the beaches of the Mediterranean, Çakraz especially being a typical summer resort. Kurucaşile meanwhile is a virtual shipyard with a boat under construction in the yard of almost every house here, where the highest quality yachts in Turkey are said to be built. But the most interesting settlement of all along this road is definitely Gideros Bay near Cide. This cove, with its narrow entrance, is especially well-sheltered. A tiny village with just a handful of houses adds color to Gideros. From Cide to Inebolu, the road snakes through a sea of green trees.
After Inebolu, the village of Beldeğirmen attached to Bozkurt makes a pleasant stop. A restaurant here in the shade of a stately, 700-year-old plane tree along the shore where boats are moored is attractive more for its setting than its food. This is a special spot, thanks in large part to the well-preserved, barn-red wooden houses that surround it.
After Çatalzeytin and Ayacık, Sinop, which has preserved its existence for centuries in a geography that could be termed a natural wonder, awaits visitors with yet another of the Black Sea's fascinating landscapes. Originally established by colonists from Miletus and home to a number of civilizations up to now, Sinop is one of a handful of sheltered harbors on the Black Sea.
A thriving commercial port well into the period of the Seljuks, Sinop strikes the eye immediately for its many Seljuk monuments, of which the five-domed Alaaddin Mosque and the Pervane Madrasa which dates to 1262 are two of the most outstanding. The 4th century B.C. Temple of Serapis is the city's most ancient structure, only a few columns and pedestals of which remain now in the garden of the Archeological Museum. Another important museum in the city is the Aslan Torun Bey Konak, a quintessential three-story Ottoman mansion which has been converted into an ethnographic museum.Sinop's Erfelek Falls are a wonder of nature in every sense of the word. A series of 28 separate cascades large and small, Erfelek Falls are unique in the world in this respect.
A visit to a replica of the steamship Bandırma, which brought Ataturk to Samsun in 1919 to launch the Turkish National Struggle, is de rigueur for visitors to the city. Models of Ataturk and his comrades-in-arms in the meeting hall and of ordinary soldiers on the deck recreate a sense of those days.
Continuing from Samsun, the coast road passes through Ünye with its famous beaches. The largest township of the province of Ordu, Ünye also boasts a castle well worth seeing from the period of the Kingdom of Pontus.
The Paşaoğlu Konak, another mansion converted into an Ethnographic Museum, gives visitors an idea about traditional life in the city and the region in general. What's more, Boztepe, just 6 kilometers from the city center, draws attention for both its natural richness and its landscape. Giresun Castle rises on a steep hill smack dab in the city center. Its walls, which also date to the period of the Pontian Kingdom, remain in quite sound condition today. Not only that but the tea plantations on the side of the castle overlooking the town are an ideal place to rest and enjoy the spectacular view.
Trabzon is one of the richest cities on the Black Sea coast in both history and culture. The Ayasofia Church in the city center has been restored and opened to visitors as part of an environmental improvement project. Situated atop a hill at the entrance to the city, this church catches the eye immediately for its impressive architecture. It was commissioned by Manuel I, one of the kings of the Comnenus dynasty that ruled here in the 13th century.
The Church of St. Mary the 'Goldenhead', which dates to the 12th century, is used today as the Ortahisar Mosque. And the Church of Saint Eugenios, whose construction date is unknown, continues life as the Yeni Cuma Mosque. But it is the Sumela Monastery in the Trabzon township of Maçka that is one of Turkey's most important legacies of past cultures. Located inside the Altındere Vadisi National Park, this monastery was built in 375 A.D. The frescoes inside the rock church that constitutes the nucleus and oldest part of the monastery are of thrilling beauty. Other parts of the monastery include the 'ayazma' or spring where the holy water dripping from the rocks collects, a chapel, the monks' cells, food cellars and a library.
At almost 850 meters in length, the route from Amasra to Trabzon, at the point where the green meets the blue, reflects the Black Sea not simply in green and blue but in all its many colors.

"Sons of Anarchy" season 7 is the final season of the show, so knocking off Gemma, Jax or even the entire club is not beyond possibility. Kurt Sutter, who gives the heartbeat to the show, can mold the SAMCRO boys into astronauts if he wanted to, but he probably has something a bit more grounded in evil deeds in mind. The way the final episode played out in season 6 offers up some hints of what direction the creator might take the "Sons of Anarchy" to its end.
A Jan, 3 article from EnStarz reminds the "Sons of Anarchy" fans that Juice is the only person who knows the truth about Gemma killing Tara. While this potentially gives him a lot of power, that's not something that will necessarily appeal to Juice. It's not power he's looking for.
Anyone who has watched this show for some time knows that Sutter plants hints of what's to come in past episodes and Juice was on a mission to make his life matter. He wants to feel like he is doing good deeds for people. That's probably not something he is going to find with the SAMCRO boys anytime soon.
He is consumed with getting Jax to accept him, so now that he knows how Tara met her demise, will he use this as a ticket to get into good graces with Jax? While doing this too early on in season 7 wouldn't make any sense because half of the entertainment is going to be watching Gemma squirm as folks investigate the killing of Tara.
This final season could be thought of as a new canvas for Sutter. There's no more consideration needed to leave things so the "Sons" have a story line to work with for another season. Sutter could have Jax tilt in the direction of evil, now that the two closest people to him, Tara and Opie, are no longer around to keep him grounded.
Is it his time to go all out in a gangster-like demeanor? Fans have seen a touch of that out of Jax in season 6, he was quick to kill, so these behaviors have been building.
Does anyone see Juice as the final killing machine for the entire club? He is not playing with a full deck on an emotional level. Do you think Juice's final act of good would be to destroy Jax, Gemma and the club then do himself in? This could be the ultimate act of doing good in Juice's head. Depending upon what he sees in the next season, he may think its time for getting all these evil folks off the face of the earth.
There's not too many redeemable qualities left in Jax or Gemma, neither one appear to have any problems with guilt when it comes to pulling a trigger or in Gemma's case, splitting Tara's skull. Maybe Juice will stay in the background for the first part of the season and fester with his thoughts while working up to his grand finale' of ridding the earth of this handful of evil-doers?
There are so many different ways that Juice could go, especially after the writers of the show did a good job of showing him as an unstable guy. He might see Gemma as a mother figure more so than ever before now that he carries her secret. He may like the idea of being part of her family as well as having his brothers in the club. He might enlist Gemma to make him shine in Jax's eyes, who has kept a watchful eye on his unstable moods.
What about Jax, would he kill mommy dearest if he were to ever find out that she killed Tara? Probably not. Gemma has a way with her only son, she somehow is able to rationalize her actions to Jax and while he gets mad, he gets over it. Besides, Tara pulling that fake miscarriage on Gemma was a nasty deed done to his mother. He might understand her built up anger toward Tara and use some of Gemma's rationalizing tactics on himself. He could go the other way if he realizes Gemma's part in his father's death was more than he realizes.
Unless they have some miraculous turn around for Wendy, she has about outlived her usefulness on the show. Raising two kids was never in the cards for her even when Tara desperately wanted to believe that Wendy could do it if she went to jail, it just didn't feel right.
To make the show interesting Jax has to get a new old lady that's a stranger to the viewers. The show needs to mold someone that not only has the street smarts that Gemma possesses, but she has to have the intellect that soars above Gemma's capabilities.
This new old lady needs to have a voice in Jax's life, not someone who sits back and asks very little questions. This is something Tara was often guilty of, which was often surprising. She lived a type of don't ask, don't tell life with Jax as his club got more involved in bloodshed.
Will Nero back away from Gemma? Some of the spoilers suggest that he not only backs away from Gemma, but he finds himself on the opposite side of a war with SAMCRO. A lot will ride on Juice this new and final season, he holds the key to the relationship between a mother and a son. Gemma and Jax's station in life is going to depend on what Juice does with that information, which does give his character an awful lot of power on season 7.
While "Sons of Anarchy" is coming to an end, this is one show that probably won't wind down with a happy ending. Season 7 is due to pickup timeline wise a few weeks after Tara was killed, so this is still fresh in everyone's mind.

According to Drudge Report editor, Joseph Curl, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scandal has taken a twist towards something straight out of Nixon's presidency. On Sunday, Curl concluded, "Where we are now is Nixonian. The only questions: Do the Republicans have the cojones to go there?" Curl added, "It's time for a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of the mess."
In his Washington Times column, Curl pointed to the similarities between a gap of almost 19 minutes in the Nixon tapes, which he recalled were "accidentally" erased and the news that over two years of Lois Lerner emails were "lost" in a computer hard drive crash. Curl agrees with Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican and chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, that it is "convenient" for the Obama administration that the emails are lost, but that the probe should only intensify precisely because the emails are missing.
Like the Drudge Report editor, Curl, Sharyl Attkisson, investigative reporter, also wondered, "Do they have the will to do that (move towards serious investigation with serious consequences)?" Today on the Drudge Report page, there is a link to a CBS Philly report which mirrors Curl's disdain. Attkisson was highly skeptical about the announcement from the House Ways and Means Committee that the Lois Lerner emails had gone missing. "This just doesn't happen," responded Attkisson, adding, "If it's true that the emails are lost, that's quite a story in itself."
Congress, in her opinion, should move quickly to get all of the parties, including the computer technicians involved under oath for questioning. Immediate action is needed, she says, to start digging through testimony before they have time to get their stories straight and "fix things up." According to a source of Attkisson, the thought is "Some poor IT schmuck, if you get him under oath, he will fold like a cheap suit."
The IRS is understandably on the defensive following the admission, over a year into the investigations, that thousands of Lois Lerner's emails were irretrievably lost in a hard drive crash. Lerner, who is at the center of the IRS scandal, per a report from Washington Times linked on Drudge Report today, communicated with IRS technological staff in 2011 in her effort to retrieve her lost files. When told her files were irretrievable, she took it in stride. "Sometimes stuff just happens," she responded in an email.
Currently the Drudge Report links to IRS updates have dwindled to three. In the past there have been as many as fourteen. Whether the dwindling Drudge Report links are an indication that interest has moved past the investigation to determine if the IRS was used as a political arm of the Obama administration to intimidate conservatives preceding election 2012, or if there is just little news at the moment is uncertain.

WHAAAAAAAAA!: What Eyeball Stitches Look Like
These are Redditor Philawesomeraptor's girlfriend's eyeball stitches. She recently got a cornea transplant after suffering from a degenerative eye disease, and this is the result. Admittedly, it's kind of beautifully terrifying. Of course, if I had a degenerative eye disease and needed a new cornea I wouldn't care if they f***ing stapled the thing in there, just as long as I could see again. Thanks, science! Now do hoverboards.
Thanks to Pico De Gallo, who got all pissed off when I tried to take a bite of him. Then don't sound so tasty!

Went to Soul Fish Cafe near the stadium for lunch before the game. Outstanding catfish, and the mashed potatoes were a dream. The hush puppies were excellent, too, and I'm not a big fan of hush puppies.
Corky's was the best BBQ. Went to Central's....wasn't horrendous, but the brisket was a bit tough, and I think the slaw was more of a vinegar base.
After going to Memphis I would have to say Corky's was the best BBQ.
Rendezvous probably had the atmosphere with it being a BBQ dive and located in an alley.
Hueys (downtown) had the best burger and a really cool atmosphere.
Also Germantown Commissary was good as well. Went there before the game and it was pretty good.
Big fan of The Commissary. Thanks to whomever on this board that gave it props or I wouldn't have known about it. Particularly loved the ribs and slaw, but it was all good.
Gus's chicken was EXCELLENT. Would go out of my way to get it again
another vote for the Commisary. good stuff
had Central BBQ at their tailgate vendor trailer and loved their slaw but it was egg based. weird but good
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than selfish and worry about my liver."
--by Jack Handy
Count me in as a fan of the Commissary as well - if you are ever in Germantown, TN you should absolutely check it out.
We ate at, 3 main places, BB King's, Alfred's and the Bardogg ( Breakfast), the breakfast at the Bardog was awesome, for a little hole in the wall off Beale ST, had a breakfast burrito and a bloodie, both were awesome. The 2 bar'b q places, I got pretty much the same thing, ribs and half chicken, I like BB's more, also tried both the ghost river and the BB Blues Beer, Ghost River was awesome, I drank it most of the vaca.....
The slaw was good at Rendezvous, a little kick to it. Ribs yummy too.
one "NO" vote for the Pizza Inn in Blytheville on Sunday night. Give me a totinos, horrible...
the waitress asked if we were from Texas. we all had clothes on that had "IOWA STATE" on the front...
Got gas in Blytheville on way down, distinct odor of hemp. Another dude filling up while smoking a regular cigarette also. Nice.
I had red beans and rice at the Rum Boogie Cafe with a beer. Wonderful meal. Central BBQ near the Tn campus had good brisket on Saturday night. Saw some real dives in town when my brother took a wrong turn and asked his Tom Tom for reroute.

Agreed! We stopped at Gus's before we left and it lived up to the hype.

Those can be some of the best places. I saw one called "Momma's Soulfood" that probably would have been great.

We did Miss Polly's on Beale New Years Eve...and it was REALLY good. I had the fried chicken and waffles which was to die for. Also, the best fried pickles I've ever had. Love Peace Chicken Grease!!!

Robin Williams has committed suicide, and the multitude are in mourning. We must ask ourselves, how much do we know about suicide? Have any of us paid attention? William Shakespeare gave us an interesting aspect.
"To be or not to be, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them." To die: to sleep; no more; and, by a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time . . . When he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin [dagger]?" (Shakespeare, Hamlet, act 3, sc. 1, lines 55-75).
How many of us have quoted that phrase "To be or not to be", yet never understood it's meaning? It is logical thought that is preceding a suicide. We can hear Hamlet's voice in Shakespeare's magnificent play, but could anyone hear Robin Williams? Is it possible that we have become such a regimented society that we no longer hear pain? Robin Williams committed suicide and it is likely that we will never know why. Whatever that reason may have been, nobody heard him, and we have lost a precious gem in this world. Laughter is healing, so Robin Williams healed many people around the world but there was no healing for him.
"Comedian Robin Williams, known for his rapid-fire delivery, died Monday morning in his residence in Tiburon, California, in an apparent suicide, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's Coroner Division suspects the death to be a "suicide due to asphyxia," but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made, according to a news release.
'Williams, 63, was found in the home he shared with his wife shortly before noon (3 p.m. ET), the sheriff's office said. He had last been seen alive Sunday at 10 p.m., it said."
Robin Williams had been clean and sober for twenty years. He was was a recovering alcoholic and cocaine addict. He did fall off in 2006, but he returned to rehab, and emerged with successful results. In fact, He even went back a second time as a retreat from the world he lived in, and as a renewal of his commitment to being clean and sober. He never returned to using after that. Certainly, that was something to be proud of. It is important to know this because it is so easy to label a person as another druggie who bit the dust. That did not happen to Robin Williams. Williams had struggled with depression for a long time.
"In recent years, theorists have argued that many depressed individuals depend upon others for their self-esteem, and that the loss of one of these emotional supports often precipitates a depressive reaction. A number of psychologists contend instead that depression is a result of learned helplessness, which occurs when a person determines through experience that his actions are useless in making positive changes. Other theorists have shown that genetic factors play a role in depression."
Of course, we will never actually know what the cause was. Perhaps next time we will laugh a little louder. We will let our entertainers know that we can see them as a person as well as a personality. Twitter is filled with more compassionate tweets about Robin Williams than one can say.
Donna Brazile @donnabrazile
Prayers & condolences for the family, friends and fans of actor Robin Williams. He was a genius and made us all laugh. Now, we are in tears
Barack Obama @BarackObama
"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny ... and everything in between. But he was one of a kind." —President Obama
Ellen DeGeneres @TheEllenShow
I can't believe the news about Robin Williams. He gave so much to so many people. I'm heartbroken.
Following are some of Robin Williams most memorable films. The list was compiled by Buzzfeed, 29 Great Performances By Robin Williams. It is a page worth visiting.
Mork and Mindy
A spin-off of Happy Days, Mork and Mindy was Robin Williams' first real exposure to audiences. It remains an excellent first impression, the kind of television series that sounds silly on paper — an alien from the planet Ork arrives on Earth to observe human behavior — but works largely because Williams makes it work. His Mork is equal parts absurd and lovable, a combination Williams would bring to many of his future roles. —Louis Peitzman
Popeye is Williams' first on-screen performance and as the iconic sailor, the actor proves he is a comedian in his very soul. Williams nails the character, from his facial expressions and his walk to his talk, which, in this role, really solidified how truly remarkable he is at playing different an array of voices, even with a pipe in his mouth. Williams also shows off his musical talents: singing, dancing, and physically fighting along the way. —Emily Orley
Good Morning Viet Nam!
Based on real events, Williams plays a freewheeling DJ who wildly bucks authority on U.S. Armed Forces Radio Service during the Vietnam War. The DJ scenes allowed Williams' comic id its freest expression yet, and it earned him his first Oscar nomination. —A.B.V.
Good Will Hunting
As a gently honest Boston psychologist unwilling to put up with any bullshit, Maguire forces his patient Will Hunting (Matt Damon) to face his fears and offers the exact encouragement the boy needs. It's the best example of Williams' ability to mix raw emotion with a tough demeanor, all while continuously delivering powerful, moving pieces of advice — and it won him his first and only Oscar, for Best Supporting Actor. —E.O.
Williams' voiceover work shows off his incredible physicality, and that's all without actually seeing him perform. He brings so much energy and movement to the Genie just through his voice that you can easily envision him acting out the role. It's hard to imagine another actor capturing the same balance of manic intensity and Disney heart. —L.P.
It's hard to imagine an actor better suited to playing a grown-up version of Peter Pan than Williams. He is so convincing as the buttoned-up, too grown-up Peter Banning — who has long since forgotten that he used to be Peter Pan — that when Banning finally does accept himself as Peter Pan, it comes as a massive relief for the audience. We just want to see Williams fly. —A.B.V.
Williams holds his own against CGI animals coming from all directions. There is always so much happening in Jumanji, Williams becomes a kind of straight man, suppressing his usual antics to play a more subdued hero. And yet, of course, he still has his moments, as when he emerges back to reality after years trapped in the game. —L.P.
The Fisher King
Williams steps into this dark comedy and demonstrates his true range, swiftly transitioning through an array of emotions and holding his own next to Jeff Bridges. As an unhinged homeless man, Williams is at times fierce and frightening, and at others, he shows a painfully raw side to Parry while maintaining a straight face. But in most moments, he is a truly sympathetic (and sometimes funny) character. —E.O.
Mrs. Doubtfire
It's a testament to Williams' abilities that he turns what could have been an over-the-top performance into one of his greatest and most emotionally resonant roles. Yes, Mrs. Doubtfire is hilarious, and it offers Williams ample opportunity to act out. But he also completely disappears into his Mrs. Doubtfire persona, leading to some of the film's most moving moments. —L.P.
Robin Williams played far more films than this article can hold. The cause of death was asphyxia, or suffocation if you will. However it may be, this writer is just among many who will miss him. Goodbye Mrs Doubtfire.

Pushing Through
Thursday, February 28, 2013
I came down with my son's cold over the weekend. Loads of congestion! I gained over 5 pounds in 3 days before I realized that I was sick, not just dehydrated from our day in Boston. I started taking decongestants and I've dropped 6 pounds since Monday morning. From my highest weigh-in since reaching goal to my lowest weight in 3 weeks... weird.
Between zinc and the decongestants I feel human but not great. I've been doing easy workouts (centergy, slow runs, elliptical) and skipping my strength training because I'm currently lifting very heavy for low reps. (1) I know I can't lift my normal amounts feeling like this and (2) last time I did a heavy lifting workout while sick I got really sick and (3) I'm afraid I might actually hurt myself on rep 1 because I don't know exactly what I ought to be lifting feeling like this. So... a week off from lifting. Getting sick may have been my body's way of telling me it was time anyway.
House is plugging along. It's at a decent 'steady state' right now but with the kids off for a week and this cold I haven't made any advances. I'm in maintenance mode with the house LOL!
I finished the reading for the next unit of my FNS. I'll do the video lectures and quiz this afternoon. Then onto the NEXT unit. I just signed up for 3 courses through Coursera. The first of those starts in April so I'd really like to be done with the FNS by the time the course starts. I'm still up in the air over whether or not I want to do the Certified Personal Trainer course. It seems like a LOT of work and, as valuable as I may find it for my own fitness, when I think of ways in which I might use this coursework professionally I'm so much more excited about the nutrition/wellness angle than the pure fitness angle.
We have a full weekend ahead of us. The middle school talent show is tomorrow night. My kids want NOTHING to do with performing but we're going to watch. Saturday we'll do the last of the shopping to prepare my son for his class trip to DC (ack!) and then we'll go out to dinner as a family. Sunday DH and I are bottling our wine and will get to bring it home. I've planned a nice Sunday dinner and we'll all do homework/housework.

Air Canada (AC.B-T) has abandoned conciliated contract talks with its pilots, raising the likelihood that Ottawa could step in to resolve the dispute, the association representing 3,000 pilots at the country's largest airline said on Tuesday.
The Air Canada Pilots Association said the airline failed to put a proposal on the table within the 60-day conciliation period it had asked the government for. It then made a last-minute offer but did not negotiate, ACPA said.
The federal conciliation period expires in 60 days unless both sides agree to an extension. The pilots and conciliator agreed to extend the process but Air Canada refused, ACPA President Paul Strachan said in a statement.
"It's obvious that the airline's executives want to run out the legislated time clock so they can foist a fake crisis on the federal government, in the hope that Ottawa will impose arbitration," Strachan said.
Both parties now enter a 21-day cooling off period during which neither side can take action to escalate the dispute. The ACPA said it wants to reach a negotiate deal.
The pilots rejected a tentative settlement in 2010 and have been without a contract since March 2001.

Sam Amidon: Reshaping An American Folk Tradition
Shape-note singing is a communal form of music that began in New England 200 years ago, mostly from townsfolk without any musical training. It's music that surrounded folk singer Sam Amidon during his childhood in Vermont.
"These are some of the melodies that are the deepest-seated for me," Amidon says. "That was the world I was born into. And in terms of the shape-note music being a social tradition, it was something that happened, yeah, once a month in our town. You know, it would move to different people's houses, sometimes ours. It was a potluck on a Saturday afternoon."
Now, in a new album titled Bright Sunny South, Amidon reimagines the song his parents sang. Amidon says he takes an old tune that gets stuck in his head and ends up adding something new.
"I often am playing the guitar, and I'll write a guitar part that's totally just on its own," Amidon says. "And then I'll realize that some melody that has been bonking around in there in my brain, you know, will fit over what I've written on the guitar."
Another one of those melodies came from 1920s banjo player Dock Boggs. "Bright Sunny South" is actually a Civil War-era song, about a young soldier leaving home to fight.
"I knew this song for a long time, but it wasn't until the last couple of years that I really started to sing it. And for my version, I was playing those two chords on the guitar, and that song came back out — and I'm sure it did for a reason," Amidon says, laughing.

Resistance level
Expanded Definition
The most basic terms used in Technical Analysis are support and resistance.
Resistance is the term used for the price at which a stock begins a downturn, i.e. a peak level. For example, one could determine the support and resistance levels of a stock by the 52-week high and low prices. This would establish a band of trading for that stock. A technically inclined investor may sell off at the resistance level, and, enough selloffs at this point makes it difficult for the price to exceed that price point. In other words, the stock price runs into "resistance" at a certain price point due to profit taking by those who bought in at lower prices. Hence the name "resistance."
It's worth noting that if resistance were always dependable, stocks would never trade out of their banded ranges. But every day on the stock market, stocks hit new highs and lows. Thus, resistance is more a trading term used primarily by people looking at the stock market in the shorter term. And we have rarely ever met or seen a resistance or support level that wasn't broken -- understanding and anticipating WHY, well ay, there's the rub.

Under investigation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare has implemented a widespread voluntary recall of many popular infant and children's medicines, effective April 30, 2010. Infant and Children's Tylenol®, Motrin®, Zyrtec®, and Benadryl® brands are all affected by the recall (click here for the complete listing).
The warning has been issued due to safety and quality concerns. Some of the products recalled may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than specified on their labels, others contain inactive ingredients that may not meet testing requirements and still others may contain tiny particles. "While the potential for serious health problems is remote," stated Margaret A. Hamburg, M. D., FDA Commissioner of Food and Drugs, "Americans deserve medications that are safe, effective and of the highest quality. We are investigating the products and facilities associated with this recall and will provide updates as we learn more."
In the meantime, parents and caregivers are cautioned against giving these medications to children. Adult versions of these products may not be substituted but there are many generic alternatives, intended for infants and children, that may be used.
If your child has already been exposed to medications included in the recall, the potential for serious medical problems is remote but a healthcare professional should be consulted if unexpected symptoms occur. Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of these products may also be reported to FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website at www.fda.gov/medwatch.

According to Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press on Monday, Winnipeg speed skater Brittany Schussler, who will be a medal contender for Canada in the women's long track team pursuit speed skating competition at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, is getting harshly criticized in social media.
Schussler took a picture of herself with Russian president Vladimir Putin, put the image on her twitter page, and stated "I should have asked him to be my valentine."
Schussler has since deleted the tweet, but there are many that have expressed their views of dissatisfaction to what Schussler considered was a "joke".
On Monday, Canadian Olympic silver medalist Elvis Stojko and figure skating star, came to Schussler's defense, and said "just because you pose with someone doesn't mean you agree with what they're doing. He was invited into Canada House and he was there to invite us into his country. Out of respect for him -- and he runs the country -- they're being respectful to him. They're having etiquette. There's a forum to speak your mind on certain issues. They can speak their mind but this isn't really the place for it. This is about the Olympics and bringing everyone together and promoting harmony and peace. That's the whole point."
According to Lawless, Stojko's wife was also criticized for calling Putin "honourable."
