Local history from the pages of The News Leader in Staunton, Va.
Created by newsleadernow on May 27, 2011

STAUNTON - Herbert Winckelmann doesn't like to write letters but his children somehow coaxed him into writing a 200-page autobiography, preserving stories of his life as a German soldier and the more than three years he spent in a Russian prison camp.
In the city skyline backdrop over his computer screen Tuesday morning, Steven Wine saw an orange halo appear to envelop the top of the World Trade Center.
WAYNESBORO - Throughout the day, community churches became a place of refuge. Many in the area turned to their houses of worship to express concern, questions and disbelief about the morning's reports.
Amy Sands, deputy director of the Nonproliferation Center in Monterey, Calif., was awakened at 6 a.m. Tuesday by a colleague. She along with thousands of others across the country tuned in to the same images - the collapsing Twin Towers, flames at the Pentagon and smoke engulfing Manhattan.
STAUNTON - In most schools across the area, officials said it was "business as usual" as teachers and educators grappled with the effects of the terrorist attacks on their students.
STAUNTON - Fire and smoke still were pouring from the World Trade Center and Pentagon as the attacks numbed the Shenandoah Valley.
STAUNTON - Students scattered across the Mary Baldwin College campus were in tears today, reacting to the terrorist attacks that led to three downed planes, and the fall of the Twin Towers.
"By any culture's definition, this is pure evil," said Dan Kalas. He stood outside the adoration chapel at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Staunton this afternoon.
STAUNTON - It's the last of its line. Actually, it's the last of two identical lines of stately cottonwood trees believed to have run the length of a long driveway that would one day become Selma Boulevard.
The Country Church in Town, as Second Presbyterian came to be called, is celebrating its 125th anniversary in November with a weekend of special events Nov. 11-12.
Four decades of Dunsmore Business College graduates will meet at the Staunton Holiday Inn to swap memories about one of the most respected of the city's once plentiful "practical" schools, of which all are now defunct.
STAUNTON - With considerable effort, the 81-year-old Rev. Billy Graham ascended Mary Baldwin hill Sunday to attend the graduation of his daughter Ruth Graham McIntyre.
STAUNTON - When downtown's Trinity Episcopal church began its colossal renovation two years ago, the problem of just how not to disturb its surrounding burial ground - the oldest surviving cemetery in the city - had already been addressed.
They traveled by day, taking their passengers on short, one-way trips that few would have consented to willingly.
When the Wayne Theater closed its doors, the city lost more than another struggling business. It lost a piece of its heart.
Take a deep breath and it all comes rushing back in a deluge of retro-atrocities: Poufed hair, polyester pants and shirts flayed open to the sternum.
Until the age of fast food, you could go out for the noonday meal and get back to work on time, but with a feeling of actually having been somewhere and eaten something memorable. In the glory days of the lunch counter, there was food, company and a sense of place to be had on virtually every commercial street corner in America.
Staunton's "Grand Old Man," the celebrated centenarian John F. Brooke, was in the news again. Having turned 103 just over a week after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the man who had experienced five American wars was suddenly noteworthy for more than the observance of his birthday.
A long-dead body found as the Staunton Fair office building was being torn down continued to puzzle local officials.
"The 'death car' in which Clyde Barrow, once Public Enemy No. 1, and his sweetheart, Bonnie Parker met their death," reported the Leader September 16, 1940, "which ended the ghastly, bloody career of two of the United States' most notorious members of the gangster world, will be on display at the used car lot on North Central Avenue.
Less than a month after Hitler invaded Poland, a local newspaper reported that Staunton's 116th Infantry Regiment was combat-ready should it be required.
Memorial Day, May 30, 1939, took on an ominous significance with the unusually large number of local observances.
Best-selling author Peter Maas began his career writing about Charles "Swede" Momsen, the Naval lieutenant commander who led the most daring submarine rescue in history.
WAYNESBORO - Small things get lost in old newspapers, but thanks to archives full of indelible microfilm, they can always turn up again. In July of 1937, the News Leader's interview with retired Waynesboro Police Sgt. S.B. Shumate came and went, finally resurfacing when an unrelated research project accidentally unearthed it last week, exactly 63 years later.
Under the most suspicious of circumstances, Staunton's palatially elegant New Theater burst into flames sometime between 11:20 and 11:45 on the night of January 23, 1936, shooting plumes of fire and smoke high into a clear, wintry sky.
A Staunton woman born during the Andrew Jackson administration was alive and well and celebrating her 101st birthday, the Leader reported on Jan. 23, 1936.
After 27 1/2 years, without having missed a single day due to illness, C&P telephone operator Augusta V. Hedrick announced her retirement.
With the rise of the railroads came the age of the wanderer - the homeless, jobless person who took the advent of freight car-hopping and transformed it into the American way of economic desperation for well over a century.
Only a full-blown calamity could have knocked the unfolding saga of the Lindbergh baby's kidnapping off the local front pages in March of 1932, diverting the public's attention from the most dastardly crime of the decade.
A. Robert Dickson, the county's out-of-control alcohol control officer, was in trouble again according to reports from Aug. 26, 1930.
A bolt of lightning peeled the bark off a tree at Folly Mills, the Leader reported July 29, 1930, killing "four fine steers" and sending an electrical charge through the ground into "a filling station about 50 yards from the tree.
Local newspapers were much more graphic in the 1930s.
Conservative banking policies helped Staunton, Waynesboro and Augusta County weather the Great Depression better than many communities.
It was unique in the annals of medical history, declared the Leader on Aug. 28, 1928. During a routine operation for an appendicitis at King's Daughters' Hospital the previous morning, a 29-year-old Augusta man was found to have a rather amazing configuration of internal organs.
No doubt the Rev. Billy Sunday considered his five-week-long stay in Staunton to be one of the most unpleasant of his evangelistic career:
Ernest Hamilton suffered the after-effects of an automobile accident he had suffered the day before while attempting to quench his craving for a cigarette.
In January of 1926, workers had all but finished blasting a mile-long tunnel through the solid limestone of Lookout Mountain.
Much as they might have hated to admit it, by the spring of 1925 it was obvious to local officials that Prohibition had done little more than swell the number of criminal cases in county courts.
A look back at Staunton's once-prosperous fur trade tells us much about wild animal populations as they existed in the area 75 years ago -- and also why so many have either dwindled or disappeared entirely.
Outlaw the police? Good luck.
WEYERS CAVE - Readers of this column may have noticed a historical marker just east of Weyers Cave that looks a little different. Instead of a number at the top identifying it as sponsored by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, this one has the seal of the Future Farmers of America.
Towering over the Victorian storefronts that make up most of the city's downtown, the Stonewall Jackson Hotel is conspicuous for much more than its size. That it exists at all is remarkable enough. How, in fact, did the smaller, village-like Staunton of the early 1920s manage to build for itself one of the South's grandest hotels?
Muzzled or not, all dogs found running wild in the streets of Staunton would be put to death, city officials announced.
Staunton was contest hungry in the early 1920s, using any excuse to throw out a challenge and then feverishly try to meet it.
Horses were on their way off the streets of Staunton, but some still refused to go quietly.
It was the winter of 1920, and Staunton was closed on account of the flu.
Mike the police bloodhound added fresh laurels to his fame yesterday," the Leader reported in January 1920.
One look at a Staunton Leader of the 1920s and the frantic pace of the local economy becomes exhaustively apparent: Giant display ads compete like sideshows for public attention.
Staunton announced its intention to bring buffaloes to Gypsy Hill Park, since "buffalo life on the government ranges in the West is thriving rapidly and that additional `hunting ground' is being sought in which to place them.
"The Mennonite graveyard at Mt. Clinton," wrote the Harrisonburg Times on Aug. 20, 1919, "has on one of its stones perhaps the most unique epitaph in the country. David R. Ray, half Indian, was a soldier under Jubal Early and Stonewall Jackson, and served valiantly through the war. He was also the father of about 14 children. Upon his demise, one of his sons conceived the following, which now delights the visitor to the old man's grave:

Buffalo Sabres | Press Release
|Dave Andreychuk (Photo: Getty Images)
Based on their outstanding contributions to the sport of hockey and the Buffalo Sabres organization, the Class of 2008 consists of Dave Andreychuk and Milt Ellis.
The selections were made by the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame Selection Committee: Robert O. Swados, Wayne Redshaw, Bill Hajt, Scotty Bowman, Seymour Knox IV, Peter Andrews, Michael Gilbert, Ed Kilgore, Archie Katzman, Kevin Gavagan, John Murphy and Jim Lorentz.
The most prolific power-play sniper in NHL history, Andreychuk was originally drafted 16th overall by the Sabres in the 1982 Entry Draft. The native of Hamilton, Ont., went on to spend 12 of his 23 NHL seasons in Buffalo (1982-93; 2000-01), scoring 804 points (368+436) in 837 games.
He is second on the all-time Sabres lists in points and assists, and is third in goals. Andreychuk holds the NHL career record for most power play goals with 274, including a Sabres-record 28 in 1991-92. He scored 161 power play goals in a Sabres uniform, and still holds the team record by scoring four power play goals in one game (March 19/92 at Los Angeles).
Andreychuk won a Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2003-04, and finished his career with 1,338 points (640+698) in 1,639 games with Buffalo, Toronto, New Jersey, Boston, Colorado and Tampa Bay. He is ranked 4th all-time in games played; 13th all-time in goals, and 25th all-time in points. Andreychuk now works as a Community Representative for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Andreychuk's Career Stats with Buffalo: GP: 837 G: 368 A: 436 P: 804 PIM: 596
Dave Andreychuk's Career Stats
Known to many simply as "The Voice of the Aud," Milt Ellis was the Sabres public address announcer for 26 seasons at the Memorial Auditorium. Ellis became a fixture in the old Aud as he sat between the two penalty boxes, with his unmistakable voice announcing some of the most memorable moments in Sabres history.
Before the Sabres came along in 1970, Ellis spent several years prior as the PA voice of the AHL's Buffalo Bisons – a job he took as a favor to his friend, long-time Bisons PR man Stan Barron. A graduate of Syracuse University, Ellis also spent more than 40 years working for Buffalo-based radio station WDCX.

Early this morning at 1:15AM, Sheriff Patrol deputies responded to a business establishment in the 1900 block of Fulton Avenue, after receiving multiple reports of gunfire at the location. When deputies arrived, a 20-year old male shooting victim was found in the parking lot and pronounced deceased at the scene.
Throughout the course of the investigation thus far, Sheriff Homicide Detectives have determined that multiple people were shot during this incident; up to five victims at this point. Detectives believe there were a large number of people in the parking lot of the establishment when two separate altercations broke out, resulting in more than one subject firing a weapon. Detectives are unable to determine yet the motive for the shootings or the role/relationship, if any, between each shooting victim.
The homicide victim's identity in this incident will be released by the Sacramento County Coroner's Office.
Anyone having information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Sheriff's Department at (916) 874-5115. Tip information may also be left anonymously at www.sacsheriff.com, by texting 274637 (CRIMES) and entering the keyword 'SSD', or by calling (916) 874-TIPS (8477).

Shift 2: Unleashed - Speedhunters
The SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED Speedhunters content pack contains two new branches including Drag and Standing mile. Each branch features nine new events, where players will only be able to use the manual gear change so that they can really feel what its like to be in the drivers seat. This means the traction control features will be forced off and the HUD will display a new rev counter and gear indicator. The difference between the two modes is simple Drag judges the fastest time over a quarter mile stretch, and Standing Mile judges the fastest speed achieved over a mile stretch. Both branches allows for new high-power customization options where players can create 1000 horsepower engines capable of reaching speeds of over 250 mph.

In the middle of a show Tuesday night (July 17) in San Jose, Calif., pop star Demi Lovato plopped herself onto a stool and sang the Lady Antebellum song "American Honey." [1]
Demi's fans posted online that that's the first time the 19-year-old covered the song.
And Lady A's Hillary Scott responded almost immediately on Twitter.
"Heard that @ddlovato sang American Honey tonight!" Hillary tweeted. [2] "Thanks so much Demi!!! U are such an amazing girl! We should hang out someday! =)"
No tweet reaction from Demi as of Wednesday morning.
But Demi's fans probably would love to hang out with Hillary. Many sang along with Demi from the first notes of "American Honey."

The thing is, I love chocolate, Mr. A Southern Soul loves chocolate and young man loves chocolate but there's always one...my sweet first born, well, he just doesn't like it. When he was an itty-bitty, he' pick out the chocolate chips with his little fingers and then eat the rest of the cookie! I've never gotten too worked up about his dislike because he has such a love of most every other food...thus I just don't do many desserts with chocolate.
Anyway, back to my story - I love Cheryl and she was right, so here's a little something chocolate. I love the site Joy of Baking and after a little research, I decided on Chocolate Banana Cupcakes. They are moist, full of flavor and really, really easy! So, here's to friends who love you, cheer you on and call you out when needed....
- Flour, sugar, vanilla, 2 ripe bananas, an egg, vanilla, milk , cocoa powder, canola oil, butter, chocolate chips.
- You don't need a fancy mixer, just make the batter with a whisk.
- You can make the frosting per the recipe or just use store bought. If you have the time, the homemade icing it wonderful, so give it a try.

Community Affairs' main concern is to promote Pittsburg State University's Student Government Association as a legitimate body and presence in the community. SGA tries to tie together the community of Pittsburg and PSU students. The Community Affairs Director oversees a committe, which organizes the Student Discount Card program, a Highway Cleanup, and other activities as arise. He also attends Chamber coffees and events. SGA became a member of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce to ensure that we are active and informed about the community. This helps PSU connect with the community and brings ideas to our organization in how to help and aid students and with which services we can do that.

In this picture you can see one of the aisles inside the Ben Thanh Market. As you can see, this is the shoes section of the market.
When visiting a foreign country, one of the things I enjoy more visiting are the local markets. Vietnam was no exception. I really enjoyed the markets. You can learn a lot about local people: what they eat, what they wear. You can also see how people bargain, how they deal with each other. A real lesson about local customs. Of course I am not the only tourist that likes local markets. For this reason, some of the markets are overcrowded with tourists in lousy T-shirts.
Later we will visit another great Market in Saigon, The Binh Tay Market. The biggest in the South of Vietnam.
If you click on the picture you can virtually visit this market.

Donald Lee Slater, born January 30, 1944, to Robert Slater and Virginia Azerski Slater, passed away at his residence in McCleary, Wash., on July 8, 2014.
He was preceded in death by his father, Bob Slater, and is survived by a son and daughter, his stepmother; Grace, one sister, a half-brother and three half-sisters, along with many relatives and friends.
He was employed by the Simpson Timber Co. and served with the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany.
Don enjoyed nature and the fine arts and had an eye for beautiful objects, whether inanimate or natural and often spoke of the wonderful adventures he had while on duty in Germany.
His talent for drawing and sculpting was outstanding and restoring vintage cars was his passion.
Daily rides on his bike, around the community, occured like clockwork, and he is truly missed. Rest in peace, Don.
A big thanks to all who contributed and participated in the Don Slater Memorial Fundraiser. It was truly a "McCleary Day".
Don's burial service, with military salute, will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014 at the McCleary Cemetary. Following the graveside service, a reception and time of sharing will be held at the Old McCleary Hotel on Summit Road. Everyone is welcome to attend.

I was recently asked "what is the most fascinating thing you've learned in the past month?"
Last week, I finished Mastery by Robert Greene. In it he discusses the concept of Negative Capability. This idea, combined with Greene's explanation of it's importance, is the most fascinating thing I've learned in the past month.
Wikipedia defines Negative Capability as the "ability of [an] individual to perceive, think, and operate beyond any presupposition of a predetermined capacity of the human being." It amplifies the power of Positive Thinking, as discussed in books like Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist – and illustrates a critical hurdle in the pursuit of greatness. Greene explains how important Negative Capability is to "Awaken The Dimensional Mind" and embrace the full potential of our creativity – his last step before Mastery.
Many times, what holds us back from achieving what seems impossible is that we conform our beliefs and ideas to fit into a world that others have defined for us. Avoiding this trap is never easy, but doing so – as Dr. Ben Carson points out – is the key to excellence. When we pursue our passions without allowing outside reasoning to influence us: possibilities become limitless.
The ability to "operate" from a mindset not bounded by predetermined capabilities is the most important differentiator between doing work and doing exceptional work. Dimensional Thinking, achieved through a state of Negative Capability, encompasses abilities that I aspire to. These ideas certainly represents the most fascinating thing(s) I've learned in the past month and will continue to work on understanding further.

Mrs. Charlie: You know, with all he's done, if Obama were white, people would be jumping for joy.
Billanthrope: Well, the Republicans would still hate him.
Mrs. Charlie: I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about all the people who call themselves "moderates" and "independents."
Billanthrope: Liberals seem to be hating on him a lot lately, too.
Mrs. Charlie: We all have our problems with him, of course. I've just been noticing lately that people keep complaining about how he's not doing anything. But he's actually done a lot. It's just no one is giving him credit for what he's done. And I'm just starting to think it's because he's black.
Billanthrope: Well, Mrs. Charlie, we black folks are raised to believe that even if we're twice as good as white people, we still won't be considered an equal--or something along those lines.
Mrs. Charlie: I guess I'm finally starting to come around to that way of thinking. I guess it's because I'm white.
Billanthrope: I guess we should be getting back to work, shouldn't we, Mrs. Charlie?
Mrs. Charlie: Good idea, Bill.

A Must Read - Share
(Adds quote from spokeswoman, details on measure) WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray on Monday signed a bill that decriminalizes possession of up to an ounce (28 grams) of marijuana in the U.S. capital. The law makes possession a civil violation with a penalty of $25, lower than most city parking tickets. Possession had been a misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. "He did sign it this morning," said spokeswoman Doxie McCoy. Gray is facing a tight race in the Democratic primary

Local kids send birthday wishes to Michigan boy
Published: Monday, February 17, 2014 at 9:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 17, 2014 at 9:12 a.m.
A group of Houma children have joined an avalanche of well-wishers intent on proving to a Michigan boy that he has friends, he is loved, and he should believe in himself.
The boy, referred to only as Colin, 10, of Richland, Mich., suffers from Asperger's syndrome and other health problems and told his mother there would be no point in organizing a birthday party for him because he has no friends. Asperger's is a disorder on the autism spectrum that causes difficulties in interaction and nonverbal communication.
Colin's mom turned to social media to prove her son wrong, an effort that soon went viral and made national news. She created a Happy Birthday Colin page that she intends to show him on his birthday. As of Saturday night, it had 1.9 million likes.
Local brother and sister, Camryn and Christian Silver, heard about the effort to show Colin he's loved and decided to join in.
The siblings, students at Maria Immacolata Catholic School, asked their second- and fourth-grade classmates to help them.
"How can you turn doing something like this down," Principal Yvonne Weimer said of the siblings' request to have their peers sign a birthday card that will be mailed ahead of Colin's March 9 birthday.
"I just wanted to show that everybody should have friends, and that no one should be left alone," Camryn said. "When it's your birthday you should have friends over, and everyone should remember to be nice because we all need friends."
Camryn's teacher, Hollie Ledet, said the students were eager to help after they heard about Colin.
"I told them that this boy had something that made him a little different, something that he couldn't help," Ledet said.
"After that they wanted to help boost his self-esteem and let him know that we were thinking of him."
While most are eager to show support, Weimer said some allege the request is hoax. She chooses to believe it's not.
"I said, 'What's the harm in this?' Even if it does go to someone else, and it's a hoax, at least our kids have given love," Weimer said.
"They are doing it out of love for another child and there's only good can be gained from that.

Huge run up already, waiting for the RSI index to pull back a bit. Stock has roughly a 9-20 dollar spread each month moving up and down. If it pulls back around 10-20 dollars (that's if) then I will be accumulating shares slowly. Should do fine, since Christmas is coming and people are shopping like mad soon!
Bought at $136.00 and would have bought more if I had more $$$, but spent it on Apple. Two home runs. !!! Good luck, but don't wait to long.

It may not completely explain it, but the reasons for Cal cornerback Darian Hagan's disappointing 2009 season are a lot more clear.
Hagan disclosed recently that his then 1-year-old daughter, Kaiyana, battled cancer all through last season. She was diagnosed in May 2009 with Wilms' tumor, a rare form of kidney cancer that primarily affects toddlers. She had chemotherapy treatments during the season.
Kaiyana lives with her mother, Kimiye Hampton, in Los Angeles, so Hagan rarely saw his daughter as she fought the illness. Combined with the fact he was struggling to stay academically eligible and also lost his starting job, Hagan felt overwhelmed at times during 2009.
"Me being up here, I couldn't be by her side," Hagan said. "It took a toll on me. I got behind in a lot of stuff as far as school and football."
Hagan thought of quitting school and returning to Los Angeles to be by Kaiyana's side, but his mother, Pier Bruce, talked him out of it. Hagan had worked hard to remain academically eligible at Cal and was too close to getting a degree in social welfare to walk away from it.
Bruce said they took Kaiyana to the doctor after they noticed her stomach was swelling. When she was diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, it was Bruce who called Hagan to deliver the news.
"Darian was ready to give up," Bruce said. "He was yelling and screaming. He wanted to come home to be his daughter's father. I told him he didn't struggle and come this far just to give up. Kaiyana needed him to do what he was doing, to stay focused. But it kind of took over his head. I think it definitely showed in his play."
It appeared Hagan and Syd'Quan Thompson would form one of the best cornerback duos in the country last season after Hagan burst onto the scene as a sophomore in 2008. But Hagan's mind wasn't right when the season started. He was in danger of academic ineligibility even before finding out about his daughter's illness. He also suffered a knee injury early in training camp.
Hagan started the first three games last season but was benched after getting torched for three touchdowns by Minnesota wide receiver Eric Decker. He regained his starting role later and played well in a win over UCLA, only to get suspended two weeks later for not fulfilling academic requirements. He ended up being buried on the depth chart for the rest of the season.
Losing his place on the depth chart was the least of Hagan's worries. Almost all of his thoughts were on his daughter. He spent most of his free time thinking about her and calling his mother for updates. As a result, he fell way behind in his studies.
Hagan also carried thoughts of Kaiyana with him to the practice field, even on days he was determined to have a clear head.
"Sometimes I would come out here and just have a lot of stuff in my head," Hagan said. "I couldn't really focus on everything that was going on out here. Some days, I would try to come out worry-free, but eventually it would come into my head."
Hagan flew to Los Angeles for the surgery to have Kaiyana's kidney removed. Then came the wait for the chemotherapy treatments to take effect. In December, as the season was winding down and Hagan was going through finals, Bruce called to tell him Kaiyana was cancer-free.
"I just remember smiling and just being so proud of her," Hagan said. "Her being so young and going through what she went through, she still has all her character and is still lively. Even through the chemo, she kept her liveliness, and that was motivating for me."
All the while, Hagan kept Kaiyana's illness a secret. He didn't want to be perceived as an excuse-maker. Virtually nobody within the Cal program knew about it. Even coach Jeff Tedford, when asked to comment for this story, wasn't aware of her sickness.
"The reason I didn't want to talk about it is because for some people, it sounds like an excuse," Hagan said. "That situation normally should make a person work harder or try harder. But I guess I just wasn't quite ready for that -- for her to be going through that. Now that it's over with and she's back 100 percent healthy again, that's the real motivating thing for me right now, to get back and make something happen."
According to Bruce, the prognosis for Kaiyana is very positive. She will go to monthly appointments for the next five years but has a strong chance to remain cancer-free.
Hagan felt comfortable talking about Kaiyana's illness only because the worst is behind her. Now, he says her plight serves as inspiration. After last season, Hagan went back home for winter break. One day he started doing push-ups on the living room floor. Kaiyana joined him.
"I would do a set, and she would stop when I stopped and listen to music with me," Hagan said. "I'd start another set and she'd get back down and do it, too. If she can do push-ups, I have to do more. That was a beautiful thing, just to have my baby girl doing push-ups with me."
Kaiyana's illness was part of what has been a rocky career for Hagan. Twice, he has come close to flunking out of school. During each of the past two spring practices, Tedford has held Hagan out and had him focus on academics.
Two years ago, Hagan also had to deal with the death of his grandfather, with whom he was very close. And there have been the on-field struggles.
"He thought he couldn't win for losing," Bruce said. "He just couldn't get ahead of that. But I told him he's gone too far to give up."
Hagan appears to have turned a corner in the classroom and in his personal life. He had one of his best report cards at Cal this summer -- including the first A of his college career -- and secondary coach Al Simmons says he has spent more time in his office than any other defensive back during training camp. Hagan appears to be in good position to earn back his starting spot for this season, and he expects to graduate after the fall semester.
"He called me a couple weeks ago, and he was super-excited. He said he got his first A since he's been at Cal," Bruce said. "I just broke down crying. As hard as it's been, through all the ups and downs, he's close to graduating from Berkeley. It doesn't get any better than that."
Hagan says one of the main reasons for his improvement in the classroom is that he's finally past the stresses in his personal life. That has carried over to the practice field, where he now can concentrate on returning to his form of 2008. Simmons says Hagan is practicing better than he did in 2008.
"That's very gratifying as a coach when a guy continues to work at it, hangs in there, goes through some challenges and figures it out," Tedford said. "He's really turned the corner academically and as a person. He's accountable and responsible. It's been great. I'm happy for Darian. I hope he has a great year."

Post subject: Bleeding 7 weeks after miscarriage?
I had a miscarriage December 26, 2012. I started taking birth control not knowing I was pregnant and it caused me to miscarry. I had a heavy period for about a week and it stopped. Since then, I have been spotting and sometimes bleeding. TMI but the blood is dark brown and has tons of clots in it. I haven't had a regular period since because I am still taking my birth control and I take it for 3 months at a time and have a period then. Is this normal or do I need to see my doctor? Could it be the birth control causing me to bleed like this? Thanks in advance for any answers.

A book of powerful stories about cancer patients and their families who have been touched by God in miraculous ways-some in their bodies, others in their minds, all in their spirits-offers inspiring testimony that, when God and cancer meet, cancer is conquered. The author, herself a cancer survivor, gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of 18 personal encounters with God. Here's what others are saying about "When God & Cancer Meet" "Lynn has captured the essence of hope in this book; captured hope in ways that I have always taught in my professional world as well as in my spiritual community. This book is a treasure to those who struggle with the fears of cancer and I want to keep it close at hand for those reasons." -Judy Lentz, RN, MSN, OCN, NHA Executive Director, Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association "I co-lead a cancer support group at my church, and we have been looking for "just the right book" to study and discuss. Guess what? Lyn wrote it I was truly touched by all the stories; of course being a cancer-survivor myself, I saw myself in one of the stories, as if Lyn were writing my own personal story. I was truly impressed with the way she incorporated scripture, and God's viewpoint into every story. I think that is of utmost importance for anyone facing this disease. Lyn's book is "Real-Life"; some quickly are healed of the cancer, some deal with it over a prolonged period, some deal with recurrences, some, mercifully, die rather quickly. I share Lyn's belief that GOD sometimes chooses to heal in different ways: physically, emotionally and spiritually. In the process of surviving a primary brain tumor, surgery, Chemo, and radiation, I gave my life to Christ, realizing that my physical health was not GOD's main concern, my Spiritual health was the biggest victim of a disease that needed attention and this was the way He FINALLY got my attention. Lyn's book alludes to this fact in every one of her stories. In this day and age that we are living, where i. Price: $11.45

When you think of old school rock stars, you probably picture booze-guzzling, panty-chasing hardcore mofos. This is the dawn of a new era, though, so in between the fun and games throw in some organic meats, kale salads and fruit juice and according to Foreigner lead singer, Kelly Hansen, then you have a party. Staying fit is a key component to the rock star life. "I have to wear tight clothes man," says Hansen. "You want to have the energy to do what you want to do and feel good, and over the course of your life the requirements to make that happen change." While you may not wear tight clothing like Hansen, you probably travel a lot like he does and can relate to his struggle of eating healthy while on the road. Luckily, he's here to help. Check out Hansen's tips to eating like a rock star.
Watch Your Nuts
The first step to healthy traveling is watching what you eat on the plane. Don't travel hungry and pack your own snacks if you can, but most of all keep the nuts out of your mouth. "They stick it right in your face, the butter cookies or the nuts and crackers," says Hansen. "That's all crap. I heard once that raw nuts are really good for you, but as soon as a nut gets roasted above a certain temperature, the qualities of the oil in that nut are no longer as good for you; they chemically change. So I eat raw."
Pass on the Sweet Melons
The best part of waking up may be Folgers in your cup – and hey, if you want it drink it – but breakfast is still the most important meal of the day. It's also the first place you can make a mistake with your eating habits. Even though those sweet, juicy melons are tempting, Hansen opts to go with berries. "When I order my breakfast -- oatmeal, 2% milk, single poached egg and dry wheat toast -- sometimes fruit is an option," he says. "I stick with berries, preferably blue, black, raspberry or the like. Not only are they more densely packed with nutrients; they are lower in sugar than a pile of cantaloupe and watermelon."
Know How to Order
The easy way out during a busy business trip is to hit up the room service. And, let's be honest, it's fun to eat in your underwear outside of your own home. But, don't just take the items as is. Know what you want and how you want it. "I hate to say it, but I'm one of those people who makes very specific room service orders like in 'When Harry Met Sally,'" says Hansen. "To ensure I get exactly what I want, I order lots of stuff on the side. If there is nothing on the menu I feel good about, then I ask for a grilled chicken breast, dry wheat toast, tomato and lettuce or raw spinach, and mustard. Then I make my own sandwich, which is better than trying to scrape off spreads or trying to creatively eat around the undesirable part."
You Get What You Pay For
Hotels are dangerous because most of them offer a breakfast buffet, while conventions or conferences (or backstage at a Foreigner concert) offer a wide variety of free food. But just because you aren't paying for it with cash, doesn't mean won't pay for it by becoming a fat ass if you overindulge. "This is one of the toughest temptations to deny," Hansen says. "All I can say is I will pay to have a meal that I can control instead of partaking. They did some research and found out if you have a big buffet, if you put two different size plates out, people with the big plate will eat a lot more just because the plate is bigger. If you give them a small plate they'll eat less. It's this human nature thing about stuff being free."
Don't Succumb to Peer Pressure
If you're at some convention or traveling with co-workers, there's always going to be one or two or even more people who want to put their diet on vacation and let their arteries work overtime. Don't be like them. Just because Crosby wants a Big Mac doesn't mean Stills and Nash can't eat salads. "I'm not pressured by what other people eat because there's always going to be people around you eating that bacon covered thing that looks really, really good," says Hansen. "If you're in a restaurant or if I'm backstage at a show with the catering, the crew and the local workers will eat wild stuff because they're working really hard and expending a lot of calories. I don't compare what I eat to someone else."
Ditch the Dressing
Even in the craziest of towns there is always something you can eat that's better than what the little fat kid inside you is begging you to get. Hansen points out that even liquor stores usually sell fruit at the counter, and there are even ways to survive on drive-thru. "A lot of the fast food places now have really great salads," he says. "Here's the problem, and it's a big problem calorie-wise: What everyone does is go 'Can I have that ranch dressing packet?' and they'll put the whole thing on there. That makes it sometimes where the salad actually is higher in fat than the hamburger. What I do is just dip the corner of the lettuce in the dressing. You'll get the flavor but you'll have maybe a tenth of the dressing."
Decide What's Worth It
A key to healthy eating is moderation, so every now and then it's OK to also splurge while maintaining self-control. "Frankly, I have a sweet tooth," Hansen says. "And I want to enjoy, but not fully. This astounds some of my friends, but I can have two bites of a dessert, then push it away." But decide before you eat if it's really worth it and if you go for it, enjoy every minute of it. "Eating is like driving, you should concentrate on what you're doing," Hansen says. "Think about each bite and savor it, don't just let your eyes roll up in the back of your head while you shovel food in."
Forget the Fads
You know that book that helps you lose pounds in mere minutes or fad diet that lets you return to your high school weight by eating only foods that start with the letter 'R'? Fahgettaboudit. "There are a million fad diets," Hansen says. "The cabbage soup diet or whatever that was. A lot of people do incorrect fasting. They'll think they're doing something really good for their body but they're really not. A lot of those fasting things are bad. I think what people don't do, which seems to make the most logical sense, is to eat in moderation, eat good food, indulge every once in a while and kind of keep it at that."
Stay Fresh
Fresh food is the best food, but there is a lot of false advertising out there so you have to do your research whenever possible. Yes, it takes work to eat right, and work is a four-letter word to us lazy types, but if you want to stay fit, you have to ask the right questions. "Don't assume that if it says fresh, that it actually is," Hansen says. "And remember, food usually reflects its surroundings. Don't expect super light and fresh salmon from an out of the way truck stop. It's not impossible, just not probable. Ask, 'Is this fresh?' and 'Was it made today?' You'll be surprised how the answers don't fit the menu description."
Don't Forget to Live a Little
OK, rock stars and wannabe rock stars; Kelly Hansen says that it's fine to be human and every once in a while be a hot blooded fool who likes their beer cold as ice. Woooo! Foreigner! Don't go crazy or anything, but feel free to booze it up from time to time. "You can't be perfect," he says. "You've got to enjoy life. I can allow myself to have a drink here and there and it's not too big of a deal. Yes, it's empty calories and it's not good for you, but you've got to live."

Stay up to date with the latest news and content from the Milken Archive of Jewish Music. Sign-up to our weekly newsletter.
October 13 marks what would have been the hundredth birthday of Hugo Weisgall, one of 20th-century America's most important composers. Born in Eibenschitz, Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic) in 1912, Weisgall absorbed Jewish liturgical music and the Western classical canon from his father, a cantor and opera singer. The family immigrated to the U.S. in 1920, where Weisgall went on to study music at the Peabody Conservatory and the Curtis Institute, but ultimately received his highest degree (a doctorate) in literature from Johns Hopkins University. Weisgall's love of literature is reflected in his numerous operas, song cycles, and art songs. In addition to his influential body of work, Weisgall's legacy includes presiding over the music/cantorial program at the Jewish Theological Seminary for 44 years. Weisgall's life and music will be celebrated next month at the Center for Jewish History's Hugo Weisgall Centennial Concert. Learn more about Weisgall's early life in this newly-available oral history excerpt.
Known for his eclectic tastes and abilities, composer David Amram has led a storied career marked by personal authenticity, social activism, and collaborations with many of America's most renowned artists. Many of those artists—among them Pete Seeger, Paquito D'Rivera, and Tom Paxton—will be on hand November 9 at New York's Symphony Space when Amram will be presented with the Power of Song award from Clearwater. The evening will also feature the premiere of Lawrence Kraman's film, David Amram: The First 80 Years. Learn more about the concert and sample some of Amram's music in the Milken Archive.
A special note to our Milken Archive subscribers: This newsletter is going on "sabbatical" for about a month as we take time to conceive a fresh way to share the treasures of the Archive with you! As always, your suggestions are welcome at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Big Idea: Ever looked at a colleague and wondered how on earth he/she got hired by the organisation? Hamori's research has the answer - it's because of the idiosyncrasies in the hiring process, often within the same organisation. Her view is that the individual headhunter's bias is far stronger than what people believe it to be, no matter how standardised and neutral the process. She also challenges commonly-held notions that the path to the top job has to be long and circuitous. And all of this, backed up with extremely in-depth research, often analysing close to 10,000 managers per topic.
