HOUSTON – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team opened its 2013 spring season with a momentous, 4-3 win over No. 75 Houston Sunday at John E. Hoff Courts. The Islanders got the clinching point for one of the biggest wins in program history when the No. 1 doubles team of Doris Kuselj/Stefania Nicolae defeated Houston's top unit 8-5.
"What an emotional day for our team," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "This is one of the biggest wins for our women's program in its history. We came out and had so much energy off the bat and were able to overcome so much adversity.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of these girls," he continued, "they never quit fighting even when we had chances and let them slip away. The competitive spirit on this team and the way they fought today represented all that is Islanders Tennis.
"That is a good Houston team and a well-coached Houston team," Moore added. "That was one tough team to play on the road. This was one of those matches where both teams deserved to win – it could not have been any closer."
Due to the threat of impending rain showers, the two teams elected to start the match with singles play, and the Islanders came out blazing. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi won its first three matches – with No. 2 Maider Martin (6-2, 6-1), No. 4 Nicolae (6-0, 6-3) and No. 3 Sandra Burges (6-3, 6-0) winning in rapid succession – to take an immediate 3-0 lead.
"Sandra came out with a ton of energy, as always, and got us up early," Moore said. "What a great example from our co-captain. Maider played a great match in her first college dual. She beat a very good opponent that played a very challenging style. She is going to be a great player for us this year and down the line."
After No. 1 Kuselj (7-5, 7-5) and No. 5 Chelsea Horan (7-5, 6-1) fell in their singles matches, Leanne Mascall had the squad on the verge of winning the match in singles play. With the match knotted at one set apiece, she rebounded from down 4-0 in the third to go up 5-4 on serve. But Dionne Sanders earned a break and was able to carry that momentum over to a 7-5 victory.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of Leanne," Moore said. "She competed like an absolute warrior today."
With that, the match all came down to the doubles point. As it was throughout the day, the Islanders had to overcome some adversity. The duo of Horan/Burges knocked off the Cougars' No. 2 tandem in quick fashion, 8-0. The top pair of Kuselj/Nicolae rallied from an early deficit to pull out an 8-5 victory and send the Islanders home victorious. The No. 3 duo of Martin/Mia Matuszak held a 6-5 lead when the match was stopped.
"I love the way our new doubles teams work together and encourage each other," Moore said. "We handled the no-advantage sudden-death points incredibly smart and with great courage. This adds a great, new dynamic to college tennis with sudden death."
The Islanders will return to action with the start of conference action, as they will take on Central Arkansas in Dallas, Texas. For all the latest on Islanders Tennis, be sure to follow the team on Twitter (@IslandersTennis) and on Facebook (IslandersTennis).

BRENTWOOD -- Brentwood was recently deemed the top city for homeownership in California by a financial adviser website called Nerd Wallet, but its lure for prospective homebuyers is no surprise to many current residents.
Nerd Wallet used three main criteria to rank the top 20 cities statewide in this real estate category. They were affordability, available housing stock and population growth.
"These are very good indicators of a healthy town. We try to provide an objective analysis to homeownership," said Nerd Wallet content analyst Kamran Rosen.
Last week, Nerd Wallet announced the top cities and Brentwood was named No. 1. It was followed by cities like Elk Grove, Victorville, San Ramon and Temecula in the top 10.
"It is great to have this independent confirmation that Brentwood is the number one, best place to own a home in California," Brentwood's Economic Development Manager Alex Greenwood said.
The website's description of Brentwood explained that the once farming community has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the state with the highest population growth on the list, which is more than 9 percent from 2010 to 2012. Brentwood also has a homeownership rate of 75.7 percent, according to Nerd Wallet.
Some of Brentwood's most well-known amenities such as its proximity to natural resources like Mount Diablo State Park and Sherman Island, its U-pick produce stands, its free summer concerts and its bicycle-friendly environment were considered in the scoring.
Rosen said that this is the first time that Nerd Wallet has released this homeownership ranking list. In the past, they have published the best cities for job seekers and best cities for young families, but Brentwood did not make the top 20 on those lists.
"We try to provide a qualitative picture of the city. We try to aid the consumer in the most important financial decision of their life," Rosen said.
Nerd Wallet uses the Internet to inform consumers about important financial decisions like colleges, credit cards and home buying, Rosen noted.
Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor announced the distinction at last week's summer concert at City Park and he said that the crowd went wild. He said that Brentwood has proximity to major cities and destinations and is known for its quality schools and unique agriculture.
"It is exceptional for Brentwood. It is an honor," Taylor said. "Brentwood has a great reputation."

Today we heard the strange, terrible story of a woman who died from dog sex. Yikes times a million. This awful thing happened in Limerick, Ireland so naturally you filthy lot decided to write little limericks of your own. Here are some.
From PerhapsNot:
Since her marital love wanes and waxes,
And the rugrats her patience o'ertaxes,
Desperate for a snog,
This poor dame does a dog,
And expires, thus, of anaphalaxis.
From Jack Nance Revolution:
There once was a man named Sean
Who arranged for some odd goings-on
When it was all said and done
The trio was sadly minus one
And another took a dump on the lawn
From hilikosopus:
There once was a gal from Lim'rick
Who suffered an unusual sic.
She was a bugger
But allergic to rubber
And now she's dead from dog dick.
From resu427:
There once was a woman from Éire
Who had a taboo desire
A man that won't judge her
With a dog she could bugger
Who'd have though it was then she'd expire?

SAN FRANCISCO -- After two more devastating losses Thursday, Oracle Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill conceded that Emirates Team New Zealand has "almost got it in the bag," but he's motivated to make a valiant comeback and retain the America's Cup trophy.
"Imagine if these guys lost from here, what an upset that would be," Spithill told reporters after Races 6 and 7 on Thursday. "That would be one hell of a story, one hell of a comeback, and that's what I'd like to be a part of."
After winning six races to Oracle's one, the Kiwis need to win only three more to take back the trophy. Races 8 and 9 are scheduled for Saturday. If billionaire Larry's Ellison's Oracle Team USA, which won the trophy in 2010, loses both races, the world-renowned regatta could end Sunday.
New Zealand improved its on-the-water record to 6-1 over Oracle Team USA but officially leads on points 6-0. Oracle is at minus-1 after a two-point penalty was assessed before the America's Cup. Overall, the Kiwis need nine victories to win the America's Cup. The Americans need 11.
Spithill tried to shake things up for Thursday's races, replacing tactician John Kostecki, who grew up sailing on the San Francisco Bay, with British Olympian Ben Ainslie, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II last year after winning his fourth gold medal.
And while there seemed to be no complaints about tactics Thursday, Oracle's slower boat speed upwind and inferior tacking abilities kept it behind.
With the exception of Oracle's win in Race 4 last Sunday, the American team has been bedeviled in each race by the upwind leg, where the Kiwis have either passed or widened their lead. New Zealand skipper Dean Barker seemed to drive home that point during Thursday's first race, bearing down like a bull on Oracle on that leg. As the boats were about to cross each other, Barker, with the right of way, steered straight to the bow of Oracle, forcing the Americans to duck and lose time and distance. The Americans never caught up after that.
Going into the 34th America's Cup, the Americans weren't expecting New Zealand to have such better speed and control upwind.
"I think it is a shock that they have got the edge upwind," Spithill said.
The team plans to modify its 72-foot catamaran Friday to help improve its upwind abilities this weekend, he said. "We've still got to look at what we can do," Spithill said. "It's a long way from over in my mind."
Although the Americans had strong starts in most of their races, including winning the start in Race 6, the Kiwis were first over the starting line in Race 7 and increased their lead throughout the race.
The Kiwis won Race 6 by 47 seconds and by 1 minute, 6 seconds in Race 7.
In Race 6, Oracle crossed the starting line a full boat length ahead and lengthened its lead at the first mark, rounding nine seconds ahead. Also, as they have in previous races, the Americans led at Mark 2, this time by 12 seconds.
But it was Leg 3, the upwind leg, that changed fortunes for the Americans.
New Zealand split off toward Alcatraz, where there was less current, and while Oracle Team USA was able to stay ahead at a couple of crossing points, New Zealand eventually crossed ahead with Barker's aggressive head-on move.
Again and again, the Kiwis forced Oracle to tack -- a basic sailing maneuver the Americans have yet to master. By the third mark, the Kiwis were ahead by 200 meters and 42 seconds and never looked back.
With every loss, the fate of Oracle Team USA looks more grim. But Spithill said he and his team are undaunted.
"We're going to fight the whole way," Spithill said. "We're going to go to every single race thinking we can win."

Emirates Team New Zealand 6 points,
Oracle Team USA 0 points (-1)

Saturday: Races 8 and 9, 1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. 12:30 p.m. on NBC Sports Network and COZI-TV
NOTE: Because of penalties, Oracle Team USA began the America's Cup with minus-2 points, meaning it needs to win 11 races to retain the America's Cup. New Zealand needs to win nine.

A drop of Irish in a sea of tide
Gadsden lawyer graduated from UA, Notre Dame
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
GADSDEN | A Gadsden lawyer calls Alabama home, and he went to law school at the University of Alabama after graduating from Notre Dame.
But Bill Willard is Fighting Irish all the way.
Willard jokes that he was brainwashed at an early age, when he had a pillow with a Notre Dame crest placed in his crib when he was a baby in Cleveland, Ohio.
Willard moved to Gadsden when he was in seventh grade because his father worked for then-Republic Steel, The Gadsden Times reported.
He went to St. James Catholic School and Gadsden High School. Willard's roots as an Irish Catholic were in his blood, and no other school but Notre Dame was considered.
"Notre Dame was an icon for kids in parochial school," he said.
Now, as Alabama prepares to face Notre Dame in the Jan. 7 BCS championship game, Willard will cheer for the Irish.
Willard was a friend of a football team manager, who in 1966 was able to get a game ball for Willard and have it autographed by all the Fighting Irish players.
Willard gave the ball to his father that year for Christmas.
"The football players were just sprinkled in with everybody else," he said. "Until a few years ago, the football players ate with everybody else for every meal. Rather than feeling like they were members of the football team, they were more like brothers."
He obtained a bachelor's degree in labor and economics from Notre Dame, before entering Alabama's law school.
It wasn't difficult for Willard to return his loyalty to Notre Dame, although he said he has no animosity toward Alabama.
He returned to Gadsden as city attorney a few years after graduating from law school.
His son Michael obtained a degree from the University of Alabama's engineering school.
"He'll cheer for Notre Dame with me at the championship game," said Willard, who has tickets for the BCS Championship game.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
When the China Clipper shattered aviation records on its maiden six-day flight from California to the Orient in 1935, the flying boat became an instant celebrity. This lively history by Robert Gandt traces the development of the great flying boats as both a triumph of technology and a stirring human drama. He examines the political, military, and economic forces that drove its development and explains the aeronautical advances that made the aircraft possible. To fully document the story he includes interviews with flying boat pioneers and a dynamic collection of photographs, charts, and cutaway illustrations.
Robert Gandt is a former naval officer, international airline captain, and military historian. A resident of Daytona Beach, FL, he is the author of thirteen books, including The Twilight Warriors.
~Praise for China Clipper~
"China Clipper fully documents the dramatic story of the rise to fame and the fall from glory of the flying boats. From Glen Curtiss to giant flying boats, here are all the great flying boats of American genius, as well as foreigners, from the pen of an accomplished Naval Aviator and excellent writer… Gandt is a great story teller with personal knowledge of much he relates. His book is entertaining while remaining a standard reference."

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.—A California jury has convicted a man for the shotgun killing of his mother.
A San Luis Obispo County jury on Tuesday found 36-year-old Christopher John Shumey guilty of second-degree murder for the September 2011 death of 65-year-old Karen Shumey, a popular eighth-grade teacher at Vandenberg Middle School.
The jury rejected a first-degree murder conviction.
Shumey's mother was shot twice with shotgun blasts on an apartment balcony after a quarrel with her son.
Shumey had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, so a second phase now begins in the trial.
The jury must decide whether Shumey was sane at the time of the killing. If the jury decides he was insane, he will be sent to a state mental hospital.

OAKLAND -- Forward David Lee has been ruled out for the Warriors' game Saturday night against the Milwaukee Bucks because of a right knee contusion.
The hope is that two days of rest will heal the sizable bruise on his right knee. Lee said playing on the knee would leave him at less than 100 percent for the next several games.
"He's a guy who loves to be on the floor," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "He just stays in the lineup. When he's not on the floor, you know something's bother him. When he doesn't play, he's hurt."
Lee is expected to return Monday against visiting New York.
Lee suffered the injury Friday night when Houston Rockets forward Thomas Robinson's knee hit Lee's on a drive to the basket. Lee said he was "shocked" he was able to play at all in the second half. He could barely plant on his right foot but said he knew the Warriors needed the game against Houston.
The Rockets won 94-88.
Lee woke up to soreness, pain and swelling. He still has limited mobility, so the doctors decided to rest him.

Some simple ways to make your wardrobe work all summer long
By Guest Blogger Charmaine Ng I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON:Ambitious and talented, honest and human, this tri-lingual social media strategist and curator is also a published author. Harbors a secret desire to one day have a multi-hyphenated title.
July is here, and by now, we've all settled in our summer routines. But remember to enjoy your break in style! Leave behind your short shorts and tank tops for a retro, loud celebration. I know the guys don't really care, but girls, here are some tips for refreshing your wardrobe that will have you looking – and feeling – cool.
Go Retro and Girly for Play
Tailor these trends to fit your style, and you're golden. If you're not into following trends, update your essentials with bright accessories and colors that put you in a summer mood.
- Get yourself a pair of wide-leg pants. Yes, the 70s are back in full force. Skinny jeans may look great, but while the heat is on, this roomier, breathable style throwback will keep you cool. This look is graceful on those blessed with long legs or the ability to walk in high heels. Keep the volume under control by tucking in a contrasting fitted shirt.
- Go feminine and classic with a maxi skirt. More skin isn't always sexier, and for summer a pretty maxi skirt – especially when you pair it with a sweet tank or gauzy cotton top – is a wear-anywhere combo. If you're wearing a maxi dress, accent it with a signature belt to define your figure.
- Add a touch of crochet to your cover-up. It's subtle and totally not granny-like anymore! Rock black and navy blue for some edge, or go for ivory if you're a little more conservative.
For Workplace Wear, Be Smart but Sassy
Got a job or doing an internship this summer? You might be wondering how you can look professional when the temperature outside is 90 in the shade.
While every company has its own culture and its own style (I'm wearing flip flops right now!), designer Michael Kors suggests showing off with color, not skin. Break up a neutral wardrobe with a colorful cardigan. Play with pops of color when the temperature goes up by wearing an eye-catching accessory. And it's fine to show off your arms – just no strapless dresses.
Morganne Hatfield, University of Oregon junior, is interning at a consulting firm in Seattle, a city notorious for its temperamental weather. So she needs "a bit of everything – boots, sandals, boyfriend jeans, skinnies, stripes." Ursula Wagner, Oregon senior, suggests looking at Nordstrom's patterned skirts and dresses from the junior's section for great summer work-wear options.
What's in your summer wardrobe? How are you keeping beautiful and cool in the blazing heat?We value the diverse voices and fresh ideas that our guest bloggers bring to BookRenter.com.

The Mississippi Department of Transportation will not allow parking on Highway 19 South, outside the Lauderdale County Agri-Center, during the fair, starting this year.
It's because of concerns about safety for pedestrians and drivers.
Local government officials say they have come up with a solution for at least part of the problem.
According to county supervisor, Craig Hitt, the county has agreed to further clear an area adjacent to the parking lot at the Agri-Center to create more parking space. Officials estimate it could provide an additional 100 to 150 parking spaces.
"Also the fair producer is talking with the company and asking, once they get everything set up, if they could relocate some of the equipment, the trucks that bring fair equipment in, move that to another site," Hitt said.
To help address the problem, the city of Meridian is also considering some solutions.
"What we're looking at is the road that runs in beside Fire Hall (Station) #8, using that road and any other tributaries off Highway 19 South that we have available to park vehicles, and possibly provide a shuttle for these people so they won't have to cross Highway 19 via foot," said Meridian Police Chief Lee Shelbourn.
So far, representatives from the city, county, fair and Agri-Center have met twice to come up with a plan on how to address the parking situation.
During those meetings, the possibility of providing a shuttle bus from the mall for fair goers was also discussed. However, none of the other ideas have been approved.
When the group meets Monday at 2 p.m., officials say they hope to come up with a final plan on how to address the parking problem.
The Queen City Fair will be Sept. 27 through Oct. 3. Tickets prices are:
$6, adults
Free, children under 6
Parking inside the gate is $2 per vehicle.

After already posting my selection & reading the oters I am inclined with the thought, leave it as it is.
If you could select one president to be added to Mount Rushmore, who would it be?
89 Comments
Harry Truman! Ended segregation in the Armed Force. Brought WWII to an end. Did not exploit his time as President.
Never OBAMA,Tricky Dicky or any Bush
I as most people say it should be left alone. If some change should come around, I would vote for JFK,Ronald Regean or FDR. If Kenaday had not been assinated, I believe he would have been one our greatest presidents ever.
Andrew Jackson - The only POW to be elected president. He and his brother were British POWs during the Revolutionary War.
I believe Mt Rushmore be left as is but if I were to have to choose a former President, although he was the least celebrated which shows a lot of his character, it would have to be John Adams due to his 'Revolutionary' credentials and peaceful resolution. Serving two terms as as our first Vice President and unlike any he then preceded President George Washington to serve as our second President. Looking back in history and reading his story he was a major significance resource and backbone in the founding of our great nation, opposed slavery, persuaded Congress to declare independence and assisted Thomas Jefferson in drafting the Declaration.
Each of the Presidents named are deserving but all have been honored in modern times with buildings and monuments.
Mt Rushmore should be left as is. It would be foolish for the government to consider money for a project when the people who fought for our freedom are being shunned and neglected. We had money to bomb Syria if approved but 2 weeks later when the government shut down all military memorials were shut down due to lack of funds. This kind of BS must stop.
The Mall was closed to vets but opened for a illegal immigration march.
The inmates are running the asylum and the madness must stop.
Our troops and their families are making sacrifices while our so called leaders are tearing down the freedom our country has always stood for.
Time for term limits and no lifetime benefits. As Ronald Reagan said "The words Career and Politician should not be together"
One 6 year term for President.. since they spend two of the four years campaigning for re-election wasting tax payer money and 2 four year terms for senate. Have all on Social Security and 401(k), no pension or benefits for life.
If they depended on Social Security the way we do, it would be fixed and we would not be told it is running out of money. How is that a pot of money filled by working people is running out but welfare is always available.
You all are dreaming if you think that EPA and OSHA and the Endangered Species Act Regulations would permit the original sculpture, let alone additions or alterations to be done today.
I vote for Harry Truman.
As being a half breed, one side being white and the other being Sioux. I have my Indian blood boils every time they show this monument, understand this land is sacred to the Lakota & Dakota Sioux Nation. It is bad enough that the Government has taken land and broke so many treaties then push onto land that is not good enough for the white but okay for the Indians. Maybe they should put a head shot of Sitting Bull. But you have to look at the Rushmore granite that the side of the mountain will not withstand anymore chiseling and small exploding it could make the other faces crack and fall down. This idea is great for some and not for others and have to think of the case of damage to the other Presidents.
Dennis - Thank you for your wise words.
No one should be added, none of the recent politicians can measure up to the originals that built, saved and established the predominance of our country. Those thinking about Ronnie may need to think about how he helped the working people with his union busting approach, and include Nancy in the background with her direction of him in his second term.
I Like Ike and The Buck Stops Here are the only two to be considered
I first thought JFK! Because I admired him, and his inaugural address, influenced my joining the Navy! But on second thought, He was just another lawyer who, as all of them around the world, have us little people, do their dirty work to bring them more power of money!
Perhaps we should erase the mountain sculptures, and replace with the images of all of our "Medal of Honor recipients!
JFK wasn't a lawyer.
Leave it as it is there is not enough room to put all of America's heros there, all of those who gave their all so we can enjoy the freedoms we have and the right to post our thoughts on this page

In reality I would leave it alone, but if I had to choose, I would add President George W. Bush and for no other reason but to piss off the demoncrap communist pigs in this country.
Leave it alone. I voted as such. We have already experienced more than enough change.
In the event that some change just HAD to be made(I can think of no such possible event), my suggestion wold be to blast one of the existing faces off and be satisfied with just three. I will leave it to your imagination as to which one to blast off.
Obama would be great up there. However I 'spect
you would have to chain him down to get him to stay.
President Obama,current POTUS.
Do that and the busts of Washington and Jefferson would probably crumble and fall off on their own! LOL!
I am dismayed that the Legion is asking a question that need not be asked; it one that that an immature high school newspaper editor would think is terribly clever.
Touche' Homer. I cannot believe the American Legion magazine has the audacity to suggest altering one of most cherished monuments.
My vote would be for Harry Truman. If not Harry, leave it as it is.
Mount Rushmore is as it is. The concept that was developed for the time.
Well... If we could add it on the "backside" of the mountain, I would say the current guy would fit right in.
Tom you are a mean person: doing something like that to a poor, unprotected mountain!! Would that make it the worst 'hemi' in history??
Some good choices, but I agree leave it alone. The one that should NOT be there is the current idiot, obama. he is destroying our country and it really makes me sad
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, without a doubt. He successfully handled both World War II and the Great Depression, despite sometimes opposition from the other branches of government. Only president elected FOUR times. A no brainer in my book.
I can't believe their are so many critics coming out of the woodwork; but you can always tell the morons. They always have something stupid or negative to say; when they don't even know who the hell the 4 Presidents that are part of MT. Rushmore.
Our younger people are too anxious to change history by always wanting to leave their mark on this earth. There are many honors already left for Presidents since Mount Rushmore was created. Let us not take a chance on damaging a great masterpiece by trying to update history. History is our heritage. Some of it good and some not so good. But that is our history and that is how we learn to not make the same mistakes again. Let good things be preserved, not changed.
Calvin Coolidge is my choice. He's the only President, to my knowledge, that produced 4 consecutive BALANCED BUDGETS in his one term.
I agree, leave it alone. BUT, if push came to shove, Reagen all the way. FDR???? Are you kidding!! Mr. Commie and his commie sympathizers, you got to be kidding.
Harry S. Truman, his dedication and making the tremendous choice to stop WWII and save millions of Americans is my choice if we have to have a choice, I say along with many other leave it alone.
I fully agree. It should be Harry by a long shot. He was the last President that did not steal the nation blind. He was truly a real American, and also a world war one hero artillery captain. Didn't run off to Canada like Slick Willie.
Just as our country is ever-changing, if it is possible to change, or add to one of our monuments, then we should. Just as one of the earlier commenters said the men depicted on Mt. Rushmore were "...a special breed at different times in the formation of our republic...". Our republic needs to change, and as it does so, we are bound to have more special people come along who will contribute to that change. I believe that Ronald Reagan was one of those special people that came along at a special time and helped our republic remain great in a dangerous time. If we could add to Mt. Rushmore, I think his likeness should be the addition.
I agree David! The men enshrined on Mt.Rushmore are all men who made a contribution to our country when it took a special man doing extra special things to keep or get our nation back on track. Ronald Reagan definitely did that! I'm sure there are lots of people that would argue against him being up there. But I'm sure there were lots of people that felt that way about the others up there, in there time. None of them were saints! It's not a monument to saints. It's a monument to MEN. Men who led our country and did great things while doing it!
Harry S. Truman, He American lives unlike the past president!!@!
Barack Obama,
Give him a canteen of water and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Tell him to climb to the top and stay there until we have time to figure out how to build a fire pole for him to slide back down.
The next meeting of Congress should give us ample time...
I love your comment about Obama, you made me laugh and I need that with a president Like Obama, he's the worse president in history and with Jimmy Carter running a close second. I pray that we elect a president that can get our country back to being the greatest, with God as our focus, not all the liberal crap that the media is trying to force down our throats.
There is one I'd put even above Reagan: George H W Bush. I feel he had the true original Ideal American set of values.
It is surprising to me that a bunch of veterans don't know who is already on Mt. Rushmore!
I agree with you!!!!
Harry Truman, he deserves to be added maybe in a separate place close to the monument, he was a good man.
I agree Harry S Truman would be a great chose to be added to Mount Rushmore. Lets not forget who had the guts to drop the bombs on Japan and save thousands of American lives.
I agree that Harry Truman deserves to be added. He wore the uniform, he was "over there" in WWI, he respected the uniform and those who wore it, he was not a womanizer like JFK, he integrated the armed services, and he saved untold lives by his decision to end the war with Japan by using the atomic bomb. Nuff said.
I'm leaning towards Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I can say without any reservations Ronald Reagan should not memorialized in any way.
FDR was a great president, but he did more things that were illegal than all the others, except our current one. Everything he did to try to get us out of the depression was not Constitutional. Nobody questioned him because at least he was trying.I hold that as the reason he was a great president.
Least we forget that Reagan had one of the most corrupt administrations in our history. 128 members of his administration indicted and most convicted for various crimes. Then we have Iran-Contra, of course Ollie North fell on his sword for Reagan. In all my time in the service I never witnessed a Colonel with enough horsepower to pull off the stuff that he did.
Reagan spent us into ridiculous debt, slept through cabinet meetings (Alzheimers starts early, remember), and created a foolish economy other presidents in his own party called 'voo-doo economics') that damaged our country and it's working priorities that we may not ever recover from. I don't think he needs any 'honoring' at all. Certainly not to change Mt Rushmore. Leave well enough alone.
I'm with you, Jerry, on both counts.
Even though there are a few good past presidents whom could qualify, I feel the monument needs to be left alone. Changing it would be a mistake. Plus any money spent on this project could be better served on many upgrades the national parks need as a whole, (such as maintenance.)
I pick FD Roosevelt, because his administration did more to bring the USA out of the Great Depression and thus save our society than any other president could have.
Actually it was Hitler that brought the world out of the depression. sounds dumb, I know. Hitler started the European part of the War in 1939. Tojo in Japan, started the Asian part of the war in 1936. World War II is what brought the World out the depression.
Lincoln should be added.
He is already on there!
President Lincoln is already there, along with Washington, Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Notta, are you kidding? Let's have a poll of who it won't be...Ya just can't fix stupid...Next thing you want to know is what collor to paint the White House, how about green red and black....
Mount Rushmore is now a monument and that is fine. Keep on adding to it and it becomes a billboard and loses it's value as a monument.
I felt it to be a tossup between Eisenhower and Kennedy. I admire them both the same.
When the truth comes out about JFK & his family (of course none of us will be around) alot of people will be amazed at what a bastard he was.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a hero in WWII, a great Senator, and if he had lived; I believe he would have cured many injustices across the nation. There is no single President that hasn't done something wrong, whether covertly, unlawfully, politically, or sexually. Nearly every President chased women, even Rev Martin Luther King Jr. And yes he got into office on the heels of a Chicago political mob. But it's what he did with the job that matters. He was no less human than anyone else, so don't judge lest ye be judged. His heart was in the right place! So get over yourself.
Just a follow up to my comment & the response from REV Keith. The message I was conveying was more or less a quote from a friend of mine who worked as a maintenance mechanic at the Kennedy compound from 1949 until 1969 & had quite a bit to say of the whole clan, mostly on the father (Joe) but strangely had little to say on Teddy. Doesn't it seem strange the family wants to keep the JFK records sealed until 100 years after his death. Strange for a man who was supposively so great?
MLK Jr. was never president. Even though I voted for Reagan, MLK would be a great man to put there.
Teddy Roosevelt
Teddy is already up there!
The Statue of Liberty nor the Mona Lisa need anything added to them and to do so would detract from their magnificence. The same is true of Mt. Rushmore. The men depicted on Rushmore were a special breed at different times in the formation of this republic and should be left alone. Regan is the only who approaches their greatness but that being said, Mt. Rushmore is something like a Violin. The Design cannot be improved and to try would only lessen its already perfected form. In other words, " If it ain't broke, Don't try to fix it".
John F. Kennedy Invigorated the Nation and united the people and congress. He brought us fully into the space age that has broought us so much much of the technology we enjoy today. We are still reaping the benifits of his leadership.
For me, it's a toss-up between Ronald Reagan and Thomas Jefferson. I also greatly admire James Madison.
Since Jefferson is already on it, President Reagan would be your choice. :-)
Anyone person, man or woman, who would make me feel proud to be an American again.
James Madison would be a great candidate to be added to the monument. He was the father of our Constitution.
I totally agree. He was also a great president.
Good point. I picked Reagon. But Madison would would be much more appropriate.
I would not select any president to add to Mt. Rushmore. The monument is fine as it is. No one needs to be added.
I agree with you. adding another figure to mt rushmore would degrade it.
can you give one good reason why???
I would select James K. Polk, the only president that I know of who kept all of his campain promises.
Use a 3d printer to make temporary presidents and recycle them when we don't want to see them anymore. ;-)
WOW!!!: Our kids and grandchildren are 17 trillion in debt, and we have enough credit to pay for an additional president to be added to Mt. Rushmore?
The monument is fine, why ruin a great thing?
The monument was to honor the presidents of our country at the time of it's construction. If other presidents are to be honored put them on a different mountain. This sculpture is as finished as the government would let it be when it was dedicated in 1941.
It would be interesting to see the votes aligned with age or generation - who served under who?
I served under Lyndon Johnson...didn't think that much of him at the time; but considering what we have had since, he looks better from where I stand.
As a Seabee I served under both Kennedy and Johnson during those dark times.Even though I am from the "Peoples Republic of Maryland", I can add that if Johnson had stayed in Congress & been indicted with his friends, we not be up to our country eyeballs in debt because of his "Great Society". What would we have accomplished without his entry into the Vietnam War? Regardless-Thank you for your service.

The A's five-game skid is causing many to second-guess the blockbuster trade that landed ace Jon Lester. The A's struggles to score since then have prompted criticism for giving up All-Star Yoenis Cespedes.
But early-August struggles don't prove it was a bad trade. Just as winning the next 10 wouldn't justify the shocking move.
No doubt, it seems that since general manager Billy Beane went all in, the A's offense has been all outs. But the July 31 trade that sent Cespedes to Boston and Lester and Jonny Gomes to Oakland will be judged by the postseason.
If Lester proves to be the difference in getting the A's a World Series title, Cespedes was a worthy sacrifice.
If they suffer another early playoff exit, if they don't at least make the World Series, heap the criticism on Beane. For he will have paid a heavy price -- giving away his most talented player for a pitcher the A's likely won't be able to re-sign -- for yet another postseason letdown.
Yes, they will have A.J. Griffin and Jarrod Parker presumably returning from injury next season, so losing Lester to some big spender in the offseason won't sting as much. And Beane should have some money to spend after shedding Cespedes' salary, so it's possible he could find another power presence. But it's all only really worth it if they get over the hump.
There is something to be said for taking the risk. The logic is there even if the results aren't. But the final say will be determined by whether the A's can exorcise their playoff demons. That verdict is still several weeks away.
Of course, the A's have to make the playoffs first. That's looking less certain than it did a month ago, but the A's still have a sizable lead over other teams that are wild-card contenders.
If Beane didn't go for the trade deadline gamble, the A's would still be in a dogfight for the American League West with the Los Angeles Angels. Cespedes wasn't changing that. The A.L. West is the best division in baseball for a reason.
If this current slide turns into a collapse that eliminates the A's from even earning a wild-card berth, then it would be tough not to pinpoint the trade as the turning point. But it's way too early to forecast that.
The A's have lost a season-high five straight games and seven of their last eight. They previously had four losing streaks of at least three games and responded to each with a winning surge. Taking four of their next five games would go a long way toward alleviating the panic, especially since three are at home against the Angels.
For most of the season, the A's have been feast or famine at the plate. In 53 games, they've scored three runs or fewer. In 33 games, they put up at least seven runs.
That means nearly 70 percent of the time, the A's were lighting up the scoreboard or struggling to produce runs. Most of those were with Cespedes in the middle of the lineup.
Another hot streak is hardly out of the question. Of the A's remaining 38 games, 22 are against losing teams. They have 16 games left against Texas, Houston and Philadelphia -- three of the five worst teams in baseball.
But even if they survive the Angels and win the A.L. West, that still won't validate the trade. If they get in through the wild card and win the one-game playoff, that still doesn't mean Beane pulled it off.
This trade must show fruit deep into the postseason. Beane chose to have a big arm over a big bat come October. We will have to wait and see if he was right.

Marmot Sharp Point Jacket
1 lb 7 oz / 652 g
|Main Material
WINDSTOPPER® Softshell 100% Nylon Stretch 8.2 oz / yd, WINDSTOPPER® Softshell 81% Nylon 15% Polyester 4% Elastane Stretch 9.5 oz / yd
I purchased a men's Marmot Sharp Point Jacket, size…
Fabric: Windstopper
Fill: Fleece lining
Price Paid: $199
I purchased a men's Marmot Sharp Point Jacket, size small from REI.com.
Excellent construction; great attention to detail.
Good fit; it is a trim cut but there is still room for layering underneath.
Outer nylon fabric is very durable.
The collar is perfectly shaped; higher on the back of the neck and lower under the chin. The collar is also perfectly sized.
The arm length is a bit on the long side but acceptable.
The cuff closure system is velcro, which provides for a good, tight fit around the wrist.
The Windstopper fabric keeps out 100% of the wind, making the jacket warm.
The jacket is just slightly longer than waist length; I would have preferred it cut a bit shorter (I'm 5'5").
When wearing a lumbar pack the two pockets are useless as they are positioned too low.
Overall I am pleased with this soft shell jacket and recommend it. I've tried the Arc'Teryx Sigma AR and it did not fit as well (ill-fitting collar, very long arms).
This a great jacket (if you can afford it). Luckily,…
Fabric: Soft Shell (WindStopper)
Fill: N/A (fleece lining)
Price Paid: $250
This a great jacket (if you can afford it). Luckily, I had a big dividend from REI and got it for a great price.
I tried several other soft shells, particularly in the Marmot line and liked the Sharp Point best. Why? It's very light and has a very nice hand (soft feel). Because the fabric is softer, the hem cord cinches the bottom as it should. Other soft shells are too stiff and don't seal properly. And the covers the butt very nicely, keeping the cold off your low back.
Also, the Sharp Point has some elastic around the cuffs which helps seal this area. It's not snug, but better than other makers who've opted to make a fashion statement by allowing the cuffs to remain wide open. What's with that? A velcro strip would have been a great addition here.
It's amazing how warm this jacket is for its weight. And the pit-zips are a good addition since the fabric (Gore WindStopper) is not quite as breathable as some other types (Polartec) -- but it does breathe sufficiently for most activities. If you're intending this for highly aerobic activities (cycling, cross-country skiing, etc.), I'd recommend looking elsewhere, but for most activities (hiking, climbing, mountaineering), this is tops.
The Sharp Point will repel light precipitation, not a hard rain, so you need to pack at least a light rain shell. Marmot's PreCip line is perfect for the task.
The Sharp Point's fit is well suited for a diverse range of activities. Unlike some designs, the fit is not snug and will allow for layering. The jacket has a thin fleece layering inside making it feel soft to the skin. Being such, it also has a tendency to drag on some other fleece if you layer unless that layer has a smooth finish. I like Pearl Izumi's Adventure and Endurance tops. For really cold weather, I use Marmot's Evolution N2S top.
In a nutshell, the Sharp Point is an excellent choice by filling a wide range of conditions. It's one of the smartest choices for a great layering system. I hope Marmot continues this product. It deserves a permanent place in its product line along with the Alpinist shell and Driclime shirt.
Out of the numerous pieces that I have in my closet,…
Price Paid: $175 from www.thebackcountry.net
Out of the numerous pieces that I have in my closet, it's safe to say that the Sharp Point is my go-to every time. I have multiple jackets from Mountain Hardwear, EMS, and Arc'teryx and I just can't put this one away.
It's just right. Perfect fit and balance. Completely windproof, practically water-resistant and all around warmth. My Gamma AR is thicker, my Mountain Hardwear Dragon is thinner. The Sharp Point completes the spectrum.
I plan on buying more Marmot products based on their quality and value. If you need one that'll last and you find a good price point and size, don't pass it up.
I am totally pleased with this jacket. Excellent build…
Price Paid: $65
I am totally pleased with this jacket. Excellent build quality, and a very "sharp" looking jacket. The best part, I found it for $65 at TJMaxx!!! Not knowing anything about it. I just knew when I picked it up off the rack this was something that needed to be bought right then and there or first thing in the morning.
Long story short. I tried it on - LOVED IT, HID IT - then debated the want vs needs. Needless to say, I picked during lunch break the next day. You'll enjoy it I promise!
I've owned this jacket for over two years and it is…
Price Paid: $119
I've owned this jacket for over two years and it is first rate. Windproof, durable, breathable, and warm. What else do you need? It's not waterproof, so I don't wear in downpours, but in all other weather it's all I need. I can wear it to about 30 degrees. Cooler than that and I switch to something heavier. No signs of wear even at this point.
awesome soft shell. the windstopper fabric is as advertised.
Price Paid: received as gift
awesome soft shell. the windstopper fabric is as advertised. i have layered with this softshell and it has been sufficient to keep me warm throughout my daily activities in michigan winters.
i have now owned this shell for 4 years and it looks as "sharp" as the day i got it, and that is with daily use. i would recommend this product to anyone. can be found occasionally on steepandcheap for a BARGAIN. happy trails.
I've only had my Sharp Point for a few weeks but it's…
I've only had my Sharp Point for a few weeks but it's quickly becoming my favorite softshell. My other 2 jackets (G50, Gamma SV) are good but the Sharp Point combines the best of both jackets into one.
The Sharp Point is made of Windstopper fabric like my SV but the availability of pit zips makes this jacket far more versatile. The outer fabric is also softer to the touch and seems just as abrasion resistant.
The G50 is also windproof, water resistant and soft to the touch but the Sharp Point is much warmer because of the fleece lining. And yet, it still maintains the same range of movement and freedom as the G50.
I just came back from a backcountry ski tour where the weather was -9F. All I wore was a T-shirt under my Sharp Point and it kept me warm while I was moving. What more can you ask for?
As far as the negatives are concerned, I found the arm length to be a little long. That's about it.
The Sharp Point is a very well made jacket. If you…
The Sharp Point is a very well made jacket. If you want a shoft shell for climbing take a look at the other brands. My climbing harness and back belt prevented use of the side pockets.
Marmot Sharp Point Jacket
$250.00 (men's)
The Marmot Sharp Point Jacket is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen November 4, 2014 at EMS.

Good morning,
As a cartoon collector, I made a home theater setup using PMS for over a year. Everything always worked perfectly (or almost, but that's normal), wired or wireless. Never needed to tweak anything.
So basically I have Win 7 x64 system containing 4 HD with over 12TB of cartoons (yah, I'm a freak) --> Dlink 601(1.02, don't like the 1.04) --> LG 3D BP420B (drivers updated) and wired. Let's keep it simple . I got the nero homemedia disk with my system, but I always prefered PMS for it's faster indexing features.
So everything works well with PMS 1.81 from 2D to 3D streaming. Only had some problems with Cowboy Bebop episodes and the LG system, but going thru the PS3 instead for those made the streaming possible.
But then I switched to 1.90 and things changed a bit.
Before: PMS 1.81 detected my LG BP420B as an unknown renderer. Accessing movies from the LG menu was taking some time for indexing, but the folder and file were accessed withing 30 seconds or so. File access ok, playback ok.
After: PMS 1.90 detected my LG system as a Vizio Smart TV. Accessing movies from the LG menu was INSTANT (which got me excited of course...Geek stuff). File access was ok, but when PMS tried to send the movie, things went bad. The buffer was going up, and then showed an impressive -8 billion mb. So no file could go thru the network and my LG BP420B had to be manually disconnected (hard reset) because of the crash.
So I don't really have a problem since I found PMS 1.81 and things are back up and running, but I was just wondering why 1.90 hated me so much ^^
Thanks in advance for your help and great software btw ^^!

What's your best user experience?
By Jennifer (Jen) McGinn on Nov 30, 2007
Really, I want to know, so I'm taking a page out of Mary Mary's play book and offering you something in return. I want to hear what your best user experience has ever been with a product, service, or technology. You get to choose, just keep it rated "G". I will select my favorite submission, and in return, happily give you some of my prized Sun tchatchki ... I have a lot of it, because I've been here for nearly 12 years :) The picture below just has what I could grab in 30 seconds in my office.
Here's how it will work. You write to me (jenm at sun dot com), and briefly describe your best user experience with a consumer product, purchase, health care visit, or anything that describes an experience where you felt like, "Wow ... all [things like this] ought to be this fun or easy." I'll choose my favorite response, and in return I'll mail you an item from the picture above -- just tell me what you'd like the most. Here are the cool things up for grabs:
- A Jini champagne flute
- A real Java ring
- Lapel pins, featuring one of: Duke & Java, Jini & the lamp, 100% pure Java, Sun World Cup 1994, Happy 10th Birthday Java.
- A watch: either a ladies' Sun watch or a mens' java.rmi watch featuring Duke
- AnAmazing Adventures of Duke comic book from 1996, 16 pages
- A Duke for President poster
- A Duke for President magnet (that looks like a bumper sticker)
- A set of 3 (yes, 3!) Sun stickers with the tag lines, "When in doubt, share." "On the path less traveled, there are a lot fewer ruts." and "The road to innovation isn't paved at all."
- A 100% Pure Java keychain
So, send me mail. Let me know what your best user experience has been, and with your permission, I'll share it next week. With the holiday season upon us (choose whichever holiday suits you :), I'll keep asking questions, and offering up up new stuff.

It is possible to download it regarding priority of plugins or depending on picture size(bigger is in better quality, smaller is loaded quicker...suppose smaller is enough for cover art in most cases)?
Only a question, I am not using covers for now
Yes I do not overwrite covers on purpose, why download the same cover over and over again, right? To be honest I didnt look at folder.jpg .... I think you just found a 'bug', individual covers should have higher priority than folder cover, ...and yes its not me.. its PS3MS :pjonLumpkin wrote:I pulled down a few folders worth of titles tonight.

Liverpool Message Board
Stevie's view of the youngsters
Having watched a recording of the game, the interview with Stevie was quite revealIng. When told that there have been some youngsters emerging, he cut in 'Have there?' - he's right. Not one has set the world on fire and they have been given more credit than they deserve. Or am I being too harsh? I think Sterling for example is very lucky to get such a generous contract at his age. I've said it before, but he wouldn't have had a sniff of regular first team action if we had a stronger squad. The others? Faded away with barely a trace!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
arnoldlayne arnoldlayne Feb 23, 2013 03:36 Flag
I'm with you on that. It was a bit much all the praise given to Sterling, he scored a couple of good goals, a couple of good performances but nothing really major. His England call-up was a joke. Suzo, Wisdom, have looked just 'ok'. I do like Kelly, strong and determined but sadly, he is another 'Sicknote'.
- 1 Reply to arnoldlayne
With a squad as weak as ours has been this season what option but our "kids" ? For me all have looked promising Sterling yes was lucky on the back of the hype to pick up such a lucrative contract but hes what 18 yrs old if he continues to get some starts he will continue to improve and his talent isnt too shabby right now and he didnt cost ten and a half mill like Borini or 16 mill like Joe Allen...Wisdom I cant fault him overall a competent and confident kid. Suzo VERY promising talent just needs more starts to get used to less time on the ball but clearly the lad looks to possess a real football brain and weve seen him play some good stuff. Dont think Kelly will prove to be a "sicknote" think hes a strong lad with the right attitude and will come good for both Liverpool and England . Generally I think in transitional times like these we would be foolish not to give our kids every chance to prove themselves particularly as there is NOTHING left to play for this season 8th position or 14th position ..who tf cares give the kids their chance now is the time !

ATLANTA (AP) -- Police said two young boys from Georgia who were reported missing this week have been located in Texas and their father is in custody and facing charges.
Brothers Ben and Henry Cleary -- ages 9 and 7 -- were visiting with their father, Daniel Cleary, of Roswell, and were supposed to return home Wednesday. An Amber Alert was issued Thursday.
Roswell Police Lt. James H. McGee said that the 46-year-old Daniel Cleary was taken into custody Saturday evening in Austin, Texas. Austin police said a citizen had recognized the boys from the alert and notified police that they were at a hotel.
The children's mother is on the way to get them.
McGee said authorities will arrange for Daniel Cleary's extradition. He faces a charge of interstate interference with custody, a felony.

The McPherson County Planning Board approved a special-use permit for American Tower Corporation for the construction of a 345-foot Telecommunications tower during the board's meeting on Monday night.
The planned site for the tower is south of Kansas Highway 4, west of Sixth Avenue.
The cell tower at one point was planned to be built near runway eight of the McPherson Airport, but the plan was denied by the McPherson City Commission due to safety concerns. Airport officials expressed concerns that planes making emergency landings would have no where to turn if the tower was erected at that site.
American Tower initially expressed concerns placing the tower elsewhere would hurt cell reception in south McPherson.
American Tower coordinated with the McPherson Airport and planning and zoning to establish this new site as a workable location.
The permit awaits the McPherson County Commission's approval before construction can begin.
In other business:
• The board approved a special-use permit for CPS for the expansion of an existing agriculture service company that currently includes seeds, fertilizer and chemical sales. The expansion is for a dry fertilizer facility just south of the existing property, north of Chisholm Road and west of 23rd Avenue.
• The board approved a request by Kevin and Janie Wittorff for a variance reduction in the minimum lot area, width and depth requirements for a property north of Buckskin Road and west of Fifth Avenue.
• The board tabled a request by Jeff Patrick for a dog kennel and training facility north of Svensk Road and west of 16th Avenue. The case will be revisited in May.

Thomson, Ga--It's safe to say no team has gone through more in the past year then Thomson. The retirement of coach Luther Welsh, the hiring of Milan Turner as his replacement and then the grieving of losing coach Welsh. Through it all, the Bulldogs have showed resolve and are ready to perform on the field.
This team has the pieces in place to be a serious contender for not only a region crown, but able to make a run deep into the post season. It starts with play makers. Quarterback Josh Jones has experience under is belt and coach Turner likes what he's seen out of him. Chris Jordan and Shawn Bonner are just two names that are explosive threats
"We got a lot of play makers around." said quarterback Josh Jones "The coaches have said it's my job to get them the ball and let them do what they do and that's score touchdowns and make plays."
Coach Turner says he has no real stars. They are the 9 to 5 guys who punch the clock and get the job done. It's the blue collar mentality that could have Turner smiling a lot Friday nights.
"We've got a lot of guys. We're not that big, but we have some guys who have some decent speed." said coach Milan Turner "Again, they're just hard nosed, gritty type of kids and you can't have too many of those. We're blessed to have those guys and hopefully we can keep them fresh on Friday nights and rotate several guys in."
John Atkins will be one of the big cogs on the defensive side of the ball and they should be rock solid as you might expect. Thomson opens up Friday night against Washington Wilkes.

I got these for a 2011 Chevy Silverado. The material is very soft and comfortable. Easy to put on. The only thing I have a problem with is the console cover portion. There is no elastic on the bottom portion of the console and the sides of the material sag so you have to tighten it on the back farther than the velcro allows. Overall though can't beat the quality and the price at AutoAnything. Thanks.

4 Ways to Parent the Impulsive Child
A parent wrote me recently to say that her 13-year-old son's impulsive behavior was frustrating his teachers and driving away potential friends. Here is the advice I shared with her:
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the part of the brain behind the forehead that governs the inhibitory response in human beings. It creates a pause between having an impulse and acting on it.
In the ADD-ish children and teens I've worked with, I almost always see up to a 30-percent developmental lag between a child's actual age and their PFC developmental function. In other words, while a child may officially be 13 years old (and might be even more mature in some respects), they may be more like an 8- or 9-year-old when it comes to controlling their impulsive behavior.

Is it a free app? I'm behind the rest of the world, just got an ipad and am considering an iphone.
Keep Pushing, Always.
It is not a free app, believe it is only $1.99 or $0.99 but it is worth it. Also reading some articles online that free apps use a lot of battery power to serve the adware that comes with them. Even with that I would recommend the app. The workouts are laid out, there are three "trainers" to choose from to guide you through. There is also integrated music from your music library so you have something to listen to.
ChrisZhang thanks for the tip on where that goes as well.

Making the decision to move a loved one to a long-term-care facility is never easy. Finding the right facility is even tougher. I know because I made the decision recently to place my mother, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, in a memory-care residence that specializes in caring for people with the disease.
SEE ALSO: Special Report on Long-Term Care
After spending months agonizing over whether it was the right time to move her to a facility where she could receive 24-hour care, I spent just as long trying to find a residence that would best suit her needs. I believe, though, that all the time it took me to research and visit facilities was worth it because I did find the right place for my mom.
If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's, dementia or other disability, that person might someday need to move into a long-term-care facility. Although the majority of Americans who need care receive it at home from family or friends, those with Alzheimer's are much more likely to receive care in a nursing home. According to a 2012 report by the Alzheimer's Association, 75% of people diagnosed with the disease will be admitted to a nursing home by age 80, compared with 4% of the general population. That's why it's important to know how to choose a long-term-care facility if the need arises for someone you love. The steps below will help.
Step 1: Determine your needs
Before you can select a long-term-care facility for a loved one, you must know what sort of care he or she needs. There are several levels of care that senior-care properties provide:
Assisted living for those who need help in one or two activities of daily living, such as dressing or bathing.
Skilled nursing for those who need the attention of a nurse every day, who are bedridden or have more complicated behavior issues.
Memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
Some properties provide varying levels of care under one roof. That can be a good option for people who want to move to a senior-care residence when they're just starting to require help, then stay in place (by simply moving to another wing or floor) as their needs progress, says Sean Kell, CEO of A Place for Mom, a senior-care adviser service.
Kell says that, in addition to considering the level of care, people need to think about where their loved ones would want to be. That is, would they prefer living downtown or in the suburbs? In the same city where they currently live or closer to family in another city? Do they need a place that allows pets or accommodates special dietary needs, such as a kosher diet? These questions need to be addressed before you start your search in earnest.
Step 2: Assess your ability to pay
Your options may be limited if your loved one does not have long-term-care insurance or other financial resources to pay for care. Assisted living costs $3,600 a month on average, Kell says, and memory care runs about $4,700 a month on average. Skilled-nursing facilities cost an average of more than $6,700 a month and can reach as high as $10,000, Kell says.
Health insurance and Medicare do not cover this sort of long-term care. If you're a veteran, you might be able to get help paying for long-term care from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Medicaid rules vary by state, but in general the government program does pay for long-term-care services (primarily nursing-home care). However, your loved one basically has to deplete his or her assets to become eligible. Medicaid does cover assisted living in more than half of the states if the cost is less expensive than a nursing home, says Byron Cordes, president of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. But the waiting list to get Medicaid coverage for assisted living is long, he says.
Step 3: Start your search
Once you know what type of facility would be the best match for your loved one, you can start your search. Ask doctors, as well as friends and family, for recommendations. There also are several resources to help you develop a list of senior-care properties that might fit the bill.
Eldercare Locator is a service of the U.S. Administration on Aging. It provides links to Area Agencies on Aging, which can provide a list of facilities and information about long-term-care options in your area.

As ashamed as I am that this is my first post of the week, it feels pretty good to have people asking me when my next post will be up :) HOORAY...that means people are actually reading this! I just learned how to check the stats of my blog visitors. Very pleased to say that I had 828 views for the month of June! This is my excited face-->
First off, I've got to announce that I have officially made it through my first month in Dodge City! This internship has been such an amazing experience so far. I may have been baptized in fire, but I've have gotten the swing of things now and can say I truly enjoy every aspect of this job! Tourism and Hospitality is such a great field to be in, FHSU does a great job with the degree program. (Shout out to Dr. Smith who started it all!) I work some great people, have gotten to know some outstanding members of this community, and could even see myself starting my career here!
Now for a recap of the week...
Tuesday I attended the Cowboy Band at the Wright Park Bandshell. What a talented group of individuals! Did you know the band formed in 1879? That makes them the longest running municipal band west of the Mississippi! Regardless of the heat, at 7:30 the park was full of fans, some from as far as Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Florida! How great that we can get our tourists to stay in town to enjoy local entertainment like this. Refreshing ice cream was served by these two lovely ladies. Norma Henton and Olive Morgison work actively to save the starving with the organization Share the Bounty. They raise funds and host meal packaging events for Numana, Inc. November 9th at the Civic Center will be an event to send food to Haiti. Norma said they typically get 1000 to 2000 volunteers and can prepare about 200,000 meals! These ladies were so passionate about the cause, really inspired me to do more. So then...I'll be seeing you November 9th...right?
The chamber hosted a Business Appreciation luncheon and resource fair at the Hoover Pavilion on Wednesday. It was a great opportunity to talk to other local businesses and explain what the CVB can do for them! As you can see...our booth looked exceptional! The backdrop is this cool pop up, tent, thingamajig; very light weight and eye catching! It was just enough to make them stop and want to know more!
Speaking of upcoming events, the 3i show will be here July 11-13th! It is a salute to Industry, Implements, and Irrigation. (That's three i's...get it?) It started as a traveling exhibit in 1950 and has grown into the largest free exposition in the state of Kansas. What better place to see the over 500 exhibitors than the heart of the agricultural region?! United Wireless Arena is coordination with the show and having a Rock'n Red Dirt concert!
outside...in the heat...sweating...profusely) Unlike the beginning of this blog..I will NOT show you my angry face!
Today is finally Friday, it has flown right by with the rest of the week. There's lots to do and see in Dodge this weekend: Prairie Fire Wings and Beer, Tie-Dye Volleyball, KWCH Family Fun Night, and much more! Check out of website and mark yer calendar for upcoming events! As for my weekend, I'm going to do a little fishing at Lake Charles, located behind Dodge City Community College. Then go to my first ever drive in movie! The South Drive In Theatre in Dodge is one of the very few left in the state. Immediately the movie Grease comes to mind when I think of a Drive In movie...remember this scene?
And remember folks...if you're wantin' to find yourself a good stallion, don't go lookin' in the donkey corral!

Generally have great success with MP products, but not overly impressed with recovery evo. Decided to give it a go in place of my normal lean whey recovery shake, but seem to be taking longer on recovery with more DOMs. Tried it for about 2 weeks with a few variations but no joy. Overall not too impressed - and the flavour isn't great!

I have been using the recovery pack for a few weeks now. It's working well, I am finding I am not so sore after my training, a feel to have more energy when training. I am using it to supplement my marathon training, as recovery from long or hard runs is my main priority at the moment. It mixes ok, always get a few bits of powder which will not mix. The taste is not nice, I feel it only needs one flavour not two. the L glutamine mixes better with juice not water. The zinc tablets are easy to take only need to take 3 a day about an hour before you go to bed. Overall the pack is good I would get it again. My protein please just sort out the flavours.
