From a pig roast the night before their July 2 ceremony ("That's what they do here in Montana!" says Coulier) to Bob Saget's wedding toast (make that three toasts), the couple and their closest friends and family enjoyed a love and laughter-filled wedding week.
Bring "did everything for the wedding," says the groom, 54, whose best man was his son Luc, 23, from his previous marriage. "She had gift bags that she handmade and put in everybody's room, she did all the activity pamphlets … our house was set up like a command post for several months."
The low-key couple exchanged rings – his a non-traditional black titanium band and hers from XIV Karats – at O'Hair Ranch Lodge in Paradise Valley, keeping their ceremony very short.
"It was probably six minutes" long, says Coulier, who wore grey khaki pants, a white button-down shirt and white Converse sneakers. "Everybody was like, 'That was the best wedding ceremony ever!' We wanted to make it really brief so we could spend more time with our family and friends."
They also stayed away from traditional wedding vows. "We say our vows daily to each other," says Bring, who stunned in a custom backless Katie May wedding gown.

The Reception – And the Full House GuestsAfter the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests (just over 100) loaded up on local eats catered by Melissa O'Hair – but not before the Full House men snuck a few moments for themselves.
"Bob [Saget] and John [Stamos] pulled me aside after the ceremony," says Coulier. "We laughed and we hugged and we kissed each other like three brothers do … there were genuine tears of joy welling up in our eyes."
Loading up on bison sliders, cowboy caviar and local Montana cheeses, the couple's friends and family sipped on local Montana-brewed beers, whiskeys and bourbons and helped themselves at Bring's homemade candy bar.
Bring's maid of honor was her childhood best friend Jessi Konley, whose mother made the wedding cake. "She did a chocolate with caramel and salt filling and also did a white cake with raspberry reduction," says Bring. "It was a six-tiered cake and there wasn't much left!"
And of course, a Full House wedding wouldn't be complete without speeches from Coulier's second family.
"Saget was like a bull behind the gates at the rodeo," Coulier says. "He couldn't wait to get to that microphone … he actually went up three different times." Says Bring: "It was like the scene out of Bridesmaids. No one could say enough good things."
Eventually, Saget was joined at the mic by Stamos, who "actually teared up at one point," says Coulier. "He said that me and Melissa were an inspiration and he hopes everyone can be as lucky as us, then Candace [Cameron Bure] and Andrea Barber both joined them."
Dancing until 2:30 in the morning, Coulier and Bring soaked up every last minute of their big day.
"When I first met her, I said, 'Look, I don't think I'm marriage material,' " says the comedian. "She never [pressured me] and I guess it made me want to [propose] even more. When you get somebody who's so understanding, you think, 'Boy, why am I not marrying this person?' It's great when you can marry your best friend … there's an amazing trust there."

Altoona's T.J. Brandt has rolled into the Northwest Regional Class AAA Tournament the past two years and come up just short when he advanced to the finals, losing both times.
Brandt is coming off winning his third District 6 title, and while it's easy to look back into history and point at his two runners-up performances, there doesn't appear to be anybody at 126 pounds who could beat him in the finals.
McDowell's Nick Gibson (21-1) seems to be his most likely finals opponent, and he'll give Brandt a good test as he prepares for the PIAA Championships. Brandt, however, is wrestling dominantly right now, so I'm picking him to win in my regional predictions.
Brandt will be the only area champion.
Philipsburg-Osceola's Logan Walstrom (145) and Hollidaysburg's Laret Miller (182) should make the finals, but fall once they get there.
Walstrom will get a rematch with Bellefonte's Leo Wortman in the finals, but it won't be easy for both of them. Walstrom will have to get through DuBois' Tom Sleigh in the semis, but I'm giving the edge to the Mountie senior.
Walstrom beat Wortman in the ultimate tiebreaker earlier in the season, but he couldn't get anything going against him in the district finals. Walstrom could avenge that loss, but I'm going with Wortman.
Miller showed how much he's improved when he beat Central Mountain's Blaze Buckwalter in the semifinals. Miller had never beaten Buckwalter, and he gets a chance to do it again in the first round. Miller will have to pass a bigger test against McDowell's Khilique Harris in the semifinals, and he will.
Westmont Hilltop's Ryan Burnheimer beat Miller, 5-1, in the district finals, and the two will battle again in the finals, and Burnheimer will come out on top again.
Other area wrestlers have shots at making the finals. Altoona's freshman star D.J. Hollingshead is in a talent-laden 120-pound weight class, and Brashear's Godwin Nyama appears to be the best at the weight. A Nyama-Hollingshead bout should be very intense and interesting.
Central Mountain and McDowell will battle for the team title, with Bellefonte and DuBois having an outside shot, but I think the Wildcats will win.
This is when the picks get crazy hard, and here's the rest of them:
106 POUNDS: Finalists: Jake Gromacki, Cathedral Prep vs. Joe Wheeling, General McLane. Champion: Gromacki. Comment: Gromacki and Wheeling finished second and third in last year's tournament.
113 POUNDS: Finalists: Trevor Corl, Bellefonte vs. Anthony Vizza, DuBois. Champion: Vizza. Comment: Vizza beat Corl, 3-2, during the season.
120 POUNDS: Finalists: Tom Traxler, Bellefonte vs. Godwin Nyama, Brashear. Champion: Nyama. Comment: This is one heck of a final in this rugged weight.
126 POUNDS: Finalists: T.J. Brandt, Altoona vs. Nick Gibson, McDowell. Champion: Brandt. Comment: DuBois' Garrett Brown could stop Gibson in semifinals.
132 POUNDS: Finalists: Malcolm Harris, Johnstown vs. Levi Catalfu, Corry. Champion: Harris. Comment: Westmont's Walsh could make it through Catalfu's bracket.
138 POUNDS: Finalists: Tim Wheeling, General McLane vs. Steve Spearman, McDowell. Champion: Spearman. Comment: Spearman won a state title two years ago, but he didn't make weight for the District 10 Tournament last year.
145 POUNDS: Finalists: Leo Wortman, Bellefonte vs. Logan Walstrom, Philipsburg-Osceola. Champion: Wortman. Comment: Clearfield's Barger and DuBois' Sleigh could make it a District 9 matchup.
152 POUNDS: Finalists: Seth Spack, Punxsutawney vs. D.J. Myers, General McLane. Champion: Spack. Comment: Central Mountain's Gavlock will test the returning champ Spack in semis.
160 POUNDS: Finalists: Brian Brill, Central Mountain vs. Cody Brunst, Titusville. Champion: Brill. Comment: A bunch of guys capable of making out of bottom bracket, including P-O's Thompson and Altoona's Knode.
170 POUNDS: Finalists: Jacob Taylor, Bald Eagle Area vs. Geno Morelli, DuBois. Champion: Taylor. Comment: Morelli has a big semifinal bout against Meadville's unbeaten Towers.
182 POUNDS: Finalists: Ryan Burnheimer, Westmont Hilltop vs. Laret Miller, Hollidaysburg. Champion: Burnheimer. Comment: Miller will need to beat McDowell's Harris in semifinals.
195 POUNDS: Finalists: Nick Shawley, Bellefonte vs. Landon Hanna, DuBois. Champion: Hanna. Comment: Hanna has been a pinning machine the second half of the year.
220 POUNDS: Finalists: Tyson Searer, Mifflin County vs. Andrew Welton, Central Tech. Champion: Searer. Comment: BEA's Sharkey could bite Welton before he gets to finals.
285 POUNDS: Finalists: Josh Duplin, Westmont Hilltop vs. Garrett Poorman, Bellefonte. Champion: Duplin. Comment: Hollidaysburg's Barton will get another shot at Poorman in semis.
TEAM CHAMPION: Central Mountain. Comment: McDowell will push the Wildcats, and Bellefonte and DuBois have a shot.
PREDICTION RECORD: 37 out of 60 situations overall, 18 out of 30 situations in District 6 Class AAA last week.

"I started as a complete novice (I've only started to sew in January), and I loved this class. I learned heaps, and in the last two months I have made four pairs of pants, and each one better than the one before. And the learning experience was enhanced by Sandra's fun and charming presentation. It was nice to have the emphasis on real women and not super models!"

The College of Charleston officially launched its commercial real estate minor program this semester.
The minor is being offered through the Carter Real Estate Center at the School of Business. The curriculum includes classes in principles of real estate and finance, in addition to electives on topics such as market analysis, investment analysis and urban economics.
The program is offered to students from a number of different majors, including finance, historic preservation, urban studies, political science, communications hospitality and tourism management, officials said.
The college has been trying to expand its real estate program. That job falls to Elaine Worzala, who was named director of the Carter Real Estate Center this year. Worzala previously was a professor of real estate at Clemson University's School of Business and director of the Richard H. Pennell Center for Real Estate Development.
The college's new minor offering coincides with a rebound in the region's commercial real estate market. The Greater Charleston market had a 290 percent jump in commercial transactions, according to the local office of Colliers International.
More funding
Mount Pleasant-based Tidelands Bank has earmarked $100,000 to help the Lowcountry Housing Trust make loans. It goes into a fund the nonprofit operates to provide low-cost financing for affordable housing in the region. The Tidelands' deal follows a $500,000 investment from PNC Bank.
The local housing nonprofit is putting together a master plan to address the need for more affordable homes in the Charleston region.

|Limestone sloggage
Date Climbed: Mar 11, 2016
|Steep slog up loose limestone is the worst part of this hike. Otherwise the mountain is very beautiful, and from the summit area one can appreciate the green canyons and knife edges fanning off in all directions. Clark has kind of a "Land Before Time" prehistoric jungle feel, reminiscent of the Sheep Mountains in Nevada. Brought a rope and sling for the class 3 headwall, but thankfully did not need them. Best way up and down is to stick to climber's right and proceed with caution.

|Standard Route
Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2015
|I slept in my car at the picnic area. Arrived after dark with rain showers and snow line at about 7,000. Route finding on the roads was a little challenging. Glad that Gimpilator recommended a rope. It made the descent of the scramble section a lot easier than it would have been.

Date Climbed: Feb 12, 2015
|I have done a good deal of class 3, 4, and 5 over the years. If the standard route is class 3, then it is oldschool class 3 aka class 4+. It's vertical for the first 10 feet and the holds are bad friction or tiny fingertip cracks. I knew I could ascend it, but had no wish to descend it without a rope, so I turned around. There's a rappel sling above the scramble. If I ever return I'll bring my short rope.

|The roads on the map do not correspond to what is actually there, but using GPS, we were still able to make it to the picnic grounds in the dark.
We had a hard time making sense of the DPS hiking directions, but as long as you get to the correct notch in the cliffs, it doesn't really matter which ridge or gully you take up to that point. Nice views from the summit.

|Short but Steep
Date Climbed: Mar 31, 2013
|Hiked up from the picnic area following the ridge line to the left of the wash to the cliff bands. My partner wasn't feeling sturdy and decided to wait at the base of the Class 3 climb to the summit ridge. I made it up and back down in a short amount of time, not wanting to keep her waiting too long. We then drove on to Teutonia for a nice class 3+ scramble to the top of the granite out croppings there. A great way to end the month.

Date Climbed: May 6, 2012
|Been to this picnic area a few times and climbed once, simply outstanding views from the summit in every direction. Visited the crashed plane en route up (not much to see) and get lost on the drive in on the ever changing mine roads every single time this last time there was a gate to drive through.

|Did this hike with 2 Canadian Hiker friends (Bob Spirko and Dinah). They attempted this hike previously without any beta and turn around at the class 3 spot since they didn't know that was the right route or not.
Anyway, to getting picnic area was little bit challenging since this area is currently under construction of huge water reservoir. It is around the 'Tailings' in the map.
The temporally dart road goes around the water reservoir and connect to the old road on the 'wash'.
You can check the current dart road to the picnic area from here.
The hike was nice. Most part was class 2 and few class 3 spot. The class 3 spot described as '20 feet' was actually about 40 feet. I used the webbing for safety. There is an anchor near the top of the class 3 section.
The view from the peak was fantastic and hike was fun. Yet, I didn't see many sign in at the peak register.

|I didn't bag the peak. I hiked up to assist a hiking buddy who had taken a bad fall the day before. He was awaiting a helicopter evacuation (which occurred while I was there) from the bottom of the headwall just south of the ridge, east of the cliff band. I was able to see him off as he was hoisted up to the helicopter. I then hiked out with 6 BLM fire crew members who had been with him since 2:30 am that morning through a very windy night (gusts up to 80 miles/hour). I drove his vehicle to UMC hospital in Las Vegas for him.

|Hit the summit while resampling some Pinus monophylla for a complete chronology. Parked near the end of the road past the picnic area, went up the second gully from the left, and sampled trees all the way to the south ridge. Gained the summit, turned and followed the climber's trail back along the east ridge and down the cliff band. Followed the base of the cliff band, sampling trees back to the truck. Still a great peak!

| Clark Mt May/05
For the hike, we basically took the "southeast ridge" route. However, we didn't take the traditional "class 3" section on descent; instead we just went down the knife edge. The latter route is composed of good, frictional rock... but may be a bit tough on those who don't like exposure. Personally, I don't like loose rock (I have three scarred fingers to help exlain why), so I didn't want to descend the DPS class 3 route.
As for the road in: the map posted May 11, 2005 by ScottyS is good. Three people rode up to the picnic grounds in my Subaru Outback, but I had to watch clearance, and did bottom out a few times. Whatever you do, DON'T take the powerline road described in the older DPS notes (it's supposed to go by the substation). There is a road just a bit to the east that is MUCH better.

|The drive to the picnic area went well, though as of Jan 3rd I would say the end of the road(after you leave the wash) is too rough for a LC 2WD, unless you want to scrape the crap out of your car.
Followed the wash til the end, then took a straight line up to the cliffs, this route was loose and brushy, not recommended. Accidentally climbed a chute in the middle of the knife-edge E ridge, then scrambled along for a hundred feet or so. Straight forward after that, took the easy C3 gulley down. Car-car in just over 2h, a nice break during the drive from Cali->Colorado.

WELLSVILLE - Officials from Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, the largest independent supplier of drilling fluids in the U.S., hosted a grand opening at the company's new, $10.3 million facility in Wellsville on Friday.
Local dignitaries, including Wellsville Mayor Susan Haugh, Columbiana County Commissioner John Payne, and Jason Wilson, director of the Governor's Office of Appalachia, were on hand to celebrate the latest addition to the area's expanding oil and natural gas production sector.
The 12,000 square-foot plant, located adjacent to the existing Cimbar Performance Minerals processing facility at Wellsville Intermodal Park, will produce synthetic oil-based drilling mud used in the horizontal drilling of hydraulic fracturing wells. The first permanent drilling fluids production operation in Ohio, it is expected to primarily serve the burgeoning gas and oil production in the local Utica and Marcellus shale regions.
Bob West, CEO of Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, said that the proximity of the site to Cimbar's facility was a critical factor in the decision to locate in Wellsville. Cimbar's Wellsville operation processes barite, a scarce mineral that is a critical ingredient in Anchor's synthetic drilling mud, making the site "the perfect place to put a liquid mud plant," according to West.
Columbiana County Port Authority CEO Tracy Drake, who engineered the negotiations that brought Anchor to the area, said he was very pleased. "This is a wonderful thing," he said. "Anytime you see progress, you see jobs created, you see the area moving forward based on entrepreneurship, it's wonderful."
In addition to the draw of Cimbar's existing operation, Drake said the transportation hub found in Wellsville was also a key factor, offering the company a choice of road, rail or river to bring materials in and ship finished product out.
The new plant, which has been online for three weeks, currently employs a core group of seven, according to plant manager Harold Willet. He expects an additional four or five to be hired in the near-term, but says that additional business could lead to as many as 20 people working at the plant. Also, the company will require on-site mud engineers to be present at all drilling operations using their product. "The busier we get, the more people we're going to put on," he said.
Wellsville Mayor Susan Haugh expressed her enthusiasm for additional jobs for village residents. "I'm extremely excited to have Anchor in Wellsville," she said, adding that her positive impressions of company management have only been strengthened since then. Haugh also lauded Drake in his leadership of the Port Authority, calling him "blessing to the area."

A year after their rescue from nearly 10 years of captive abuse, two of the three Cleveland kidnapping survivors are marking Tuesday's anniversary with thanks and by joining others in the fight to protect victims.
"So much has happened this past year," Amanda Berry said in a statement coinciding with an honor recognizing her and Gina DeJesus at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's Hope Awards in Washington, D.C.
"I have grown. I am strong. And I have so much to live for, to look forward to. The future is bright," added Berry, 27.
"This past year has been amazing, full of healing and hope," said DeJesus, 24. "I am spending time with my family and working with Amanda on a book that we are really excited about. I have also been enjoying new experiences, such as learning how to use new technology and how to drive."
The third survivor, Michelle Knight – whose memoir, Finding Me, is being released on Tuesday – recounted her experience at the hands of Ariel Castro in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, and said the three young women's bond helped to keep her going. "I think basically every day we told each other we'd make it out alive," says Knight, 23.
The Hope Awards offered a welcome opportunity for Berry and DeJesus to be away from Cleveland "with all the emotions the anniversary brings up," the NCMEC's family advocacy specialist Shannon Traore tells PEOPLE. "To be able to be here and sending a message of hope is very important to them. Telling their story in their time and in their own words is also important to them."
Indeed, Berry acknowledged the connection they feel with other victims of abuse.
"On this day, we decided that the right place for us to be was with other families who have gone through what our family has gone through," she said. "I want these families to know they will always have a special place in our hearts."
James Wooley and Heather Kimmel, the attorneys for Berry and DeJesus, tell PEOPLE that "Amanda and Gina are doing very well and are grateful for all the support they have been receiving.
"For those of us who have been fortunate enough to watch their journey over the past year," they said in a statement, "we have seen a remarkable display of resiliency and strength."
Berry and DeJesus's book is due out next year. Meanwhile, administrators of the Cleveland Courage Fund say more than 10,000 people have contributed some $1.4 million to Castro's victims, divided evenly and placed in trusts on their behalf.
"You have made such a difference in my life," DeJesus said to those who made donations and sent gifts.
To "all the people who have helped and supported my family and me," Berry added, "you have changed our lives in ways you will never know."

Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta is turning heads with its amazing yearbook.
The school yearbook staff has incorporated a technology that allows photos to magically come to life with the help of an app.
The technology is called Aurasma and it uses pixel recognition software to match a picture with a video and play that video on a wireless device when hovering over a picture.
DP is the first school in the country to use Aurasma within a yearbook. They already have more than 100 videos as part of the book and will be adding more.
Students on campus, members of the administration and parents can't believe what they're watching when the yearbook, titled "Capture," is being shown off.
The DP yearbook staff has won national awards for their work in the past. But even they believe the 2013 edition is the best one yet.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is not the new kid on the block. It's been an industry workhorse technology for more than 20 years. What is new is coupling this premier technology with thermodynamic methodologies or molecular dynamics simulations. When used together, these provide a powerful means to generate a greater depth of information than either can alone. Further, the ability to sensitively gauge kinetics and equilibrium information positions use of SPR as an adjunct to high-throughput screening and affinity ranking during lead optimization.
The recent "Developments in Protein Interaction Analysis" conference hosted by GE Healthcare highlighted several of these synergistic partnerships as well as new ways SPR is being employed in the modern-day drug discovery arena.
Typical SPR requires very little material and does not need an external probe for monitoring interactions. This label-free, real-time technology is initiated by immobilizing a component, such as protein or nucleic acid, onto a sensor chip. The other component(s) are then injected over the flow cell(s) in the desired buffer. SPR detection relies on a resonance interaction between the light beam and the thin metal film on the sensor chip.
Allostery is the scientifically intriguing process in which the binding of a ligand to a macromolecule alters ligand binding at distant sites. Named by Nobelist Jacques Monod in the early 1960s to describe the sigmoidal binding curve of oxygen to hemoglobin, its molecular mechanisms have been a holy grail of biochemistry ever since.
"Scientists have spent decades trying to understand protein allostery through ligand-binding kinetics, thermodynamics, and structures, but we still do not have a unified picture," said Jannette Carey, Ph.D., professor of chemistry, Princeton University. Besides its academic interest, allostery is thought by some to offer a new approach to drug discovery.
Dr. Carey's laboratory uses a combination of experimental and computational techniques to study allostery in several protein-ligand systems.
"We initially quantify a binding process using biochemical and biophysical approaches, including isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and SPR. ITC measures the heat flow associated with a molecular interaction, complementing SPR by providing thermodynamic information.
"Recently we added molecular dynamics simulations (MD) to our arsenal, in collaboration with Professor Rüdiger Ettrich of the Czech Academy of Sciences. MD applies Newton's laws of motion to molecules, providing a temporal description of structural changes.
"I was stunned when we saw that MD was able to trace an allosteric response from specific atomic detail to global conformational change."
Experimentalists, including Dr. Carey, initially were skeptical of MD. "MD can be used to make experimentally testable predictions, putting it firmly in the realm of the scientific method. Besides requiring huge computational power, MD interpretation is complex and subtle, and thus a job for experts. So don't expect an app for that any time soon."
Dr. Carey's take-home message is that "quantitative studies of ligand binding are the first step in understanding allostery and the biological roles of molecular interactions. In every course I teach I try to work ligand-binding theory and practice into the curriculum."
With the identification and sequencing of most of the human genome in hand (and some disease-causing microorganisms), new opportunities to devise DNA-specific therapeutics are rapidly evolving.
"Gene-specific therapeutics require developing highly specific DNA-targeting molecules that recognize binding sites that are 10–15 bases long," said W. David Wilson, Ph.D., professor of biophysical chemistry, department of chemistry, Georgia State University.
"Most of these are designed to target the minor groove DNA. The minor groove of DNA, as opposed to the larger major groove, is a better drug target since small molecules can more easily span this region."
Dr. Wilson is utilizing SPR and microcalorimetry methods to design and evaluate compounds. "Our goals are to understand the details of DNA molecular recognition. DNA does nothing unless it interacts with another molecule. Designing small molecules that target the minor groove has the potential to shut down entire genes of pathogens, such as malaria."
Dr. Wilson and colleagues designed both symmetric compounds (with two linked amidine-benzimidazole-phenyl units to specifically target AT sequences) and linked hairpin type heterocyclic compounds.
"Both types have the potential for enhanced binding specificity by recognizing both strands of duplex DNA. We use biosensor-SPR and microcalorimetry to evaluate the interaction of compounds with different DNA sequences."
Coupling SPR and microcalorimetry provides even more information about compounds. "Microcalorimetry offers a means for much more detail relating to the affinity, and the mechanism of the reaction, such as its entropy and how that drives the reaction. It also provides information as to how chemical variations might contribute."
An advantage of SPR is that it allows monitoring binding reactions in real time. "We use a gold-plated chip that can be functionalized with carboxymethyl dextran. We link streptavidin to that and couple biotin to the DNA. The binding of DNA to the chip will produce a signal change over a range of compound concentrations, allowing us to determine standard kinetics and equilibrium constants."
Dr. Wilson found some surprises. "We studied such issues as the levels of DNA binding affinity that can be obtained with our relatively simple compound set, how compounds folded after binding, and the differences between compounds that bind to two sites versus one, etc.
"We are excited by our findings. We saw that a compound can do one of three things. First, it can fold back on itself while in the minor groove, and second, two compounds can—as expected—bind to different sites.
"But to our surprise, a third finding was that two compounds can form stacked dimers in the groove. We still don't completely understand all of the dynamics, and will need high-powered binding methods to sort this out. But we believe this is something we can accomplish. Ultimately we then will pursue animal studies."

Bashar Assad is the current president of Syria as well as the Regional Secretary of the country's Ba'ath Party.
The son of late Syrian president Hafez Assad, Bashar Assad was chosen by his father as successor only after the untimely death of his older brother, Bassel. At the time, Bashar Assad was completing his ophthalmology training in London, and his father was worried that his son's lack of experience in state affairs would eventually spell the end of the Ba'ath party's 30-year reign in Syria.
Bashar, who is also a colonel in the Syrian military, assumed into the role of president in June 2000. One of his first acts as president was to release dozens of political prisoners from Syrian jails, a move that many hoped would be only the first in a series of actions that would lead Syria closer to reform and perhaps toward better relations with the West. A year later, however, Syrian security forces resumed a crackdown on political dissent inside the country.
Regarding his views on Israel, immediately upon entering office Assad stated his support for a Hezbollah presence on Israel's border with Lebanon, repeated his calls for an unconditional Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights, and expressed his support for the Palestinian use of violence against Israel.
Following the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Assad regime was accused by the United States of allowing Jihadist fighters to enter Iraq through Syria. Assad also ignored repeated calls by Washington to end support for Hezbollah, and prevent Palestinian terror groups from operating on Syrian territory. All this, combined with his alliance with Iran, signaled swiftly deteriorating Syrian-U.S. relations.
The assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri in February 2005, for which Syria was largely blamed, was the final straw that prompted Washington to pull its ambassador from Damascus.
Assad denied that Syria had been involved in the assassination, but a wave of Lebanese hostility sparked by the assassination of the much-loved former leader added to pressure on Syria to pull its troops from Lebanon after almost 30 years.
Despite the removal of troops, however, the Assad regime continues to play a role in Lebanese affairs, primarily through the continued support for Hezbollah, which Israel alleges is receiving arms from Damascus. Following the 2006 Second Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah, Assad hailed the Shi'ite group's "victory" and condemned other Arab leaders for not supporting the militant organization against Israel.
Despite initial predictions that the politically inexperienced Assad would struggle to maintain a grip on power, the opposite appears to be true. Nonetheless, some pundits have speculated that Assad is merely a figurehead for the Ba'ath regime, and that Syrian policies are actually formed by others.
Bashar Assad is married to Asma Assad, a British-born Sunni Muslim from London, where the two met and she was raised. They have three children, the oldest named for his grandfather, Hafez.

EBENSBURG - Central Cambria High School senior Tim Shoff remembers being blindsided by another player during a hockey tournament two years ago in Pittsburgh.
Shoff, the team's goalie, had his head slammed into the goalpost and then onto the ice as he fell. He said the hit left him dazed but he continued playing. After the tournament, he left the team's celebration early to return to his hotel room.
"He said his head hurt," Tim's mom, Maxine Shoff, said.

Tom?Shoff, a Central Cambria High School senior, displays his Mid-State Mustangs hockey jersey and medals from the 2011 16AA Pennsylvania state championship. Shoff suffered a concussion earlier in the 2011 season while playing in a tournament in Pittsburgh.
Her son had a "goofy" look on his face - he was spaced out and could not seem to focus, she said.
"Out of it, completely out of it," Shoff said of his injury.
After speaking with his family physician, Shoff was diagnosed with having a concussion and told to refrain from strenuous activity as he recovered.
He also was referred to the school's concussion management team, comprised of school nurses, teachers and the district physician, who help students who have suffered a concussion slowly readjust to school.
"Hockey players are very common to get head injuries," said Dr. R. Scott Magley, Central Cambria School District physician and school board member. "That's a very contact-oriented sport."
Many students, including Shoff, suffer from post-concussion syndrome as they recover from their injuries, Magley said.
Any student under watch by the concussion management team must be cleared by the district physician and athletic trainer before he or she can return to play.
"We evaluate these kids daily and exercise them ... to make sure that they don't get headaches and that they don't have problems with their exams," Magley said.
"If a student has a concussion, whether it be an athlete or a car accident outside [of the district], we will meet with them, and we will follow them for four weeks," said Michele Aurandt, a certified registered nurse practitioner and Central Cambria High School nurse.
Each student takes a baseline test, Aurandt said. The team then uses that to assess a student's academic level and progress of recovery in the event of a brain injury, she said.
Members of the concussion management team work to "slow down" the students under evaluation by limiting their cellphone and technology use. The team also works to eliminate school work that causes stressful concentration or headaches, such as exams, Magley said.
"Basically, we're trying to rest the brain as much as we can," Aurandt said. "And the teachers here have been very supportive of that."
"I think it's so important to have that concussion management team involved because a concussion is like any other injury," Principal Kim McDermott said. "That team is very proactive in collaborating with our teachers to make sure the right accommodations are in place for the student."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, school officials should focus on increasing the student's cognitive activity as well as addressing his or her behavioral, social and emotional areas.
Twice a week, Shoff met with the school nurse to perform a cognitive test to track his progress. Before he passed the test, Shoff said even basic subjects were difficult to focus on. Once, a headache forced him to stop taking a math test, Shoff said.
"It was a little frustrating," he said.
After passing the cognitive test, he took a physical exam: 15 minutes of running in the school gym, without having a headache during or after the exercise. After clearing that, Shoff was back to playing hockey after only two months of recovery.
Academically, a reduced class load, peer note takers, increased repetition and time to complete assignments are recommended for students with concussions to maintain progress in the classroom, according to the CDC.
The student should also be in an adjusted learning environment where they can be moved closer to the front of the class or away from distractions such as bright windows or talkative students.
To meet a student's emotional needs, the CDC recommends school officials and teachers provide a consistent, structured learning environment and set reasonable expectations.
Apart from trying not to text or use his cellphone, the recovery process was slow but relatively manageable, Shoff said.
"It was good," Shoff said. "There was no stress or anything."

Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Will Carroll tweets that Mike Quade will get the manager job for 2011 with Ryne Sandberg being promoted to bench coach.
In related news, I've registered firequade.com.
In future news, calls for Mike Quade to be fired will start around game 5 of next season.
UPDATE: If it wasn't obvious enough from "Will Carroll tweets", this was the beginning stages of a rumor. One in which Carroll then backed off when a guy "who's very WIRED into the Cubs" told him he was wrong, "especially on the timing" (the original tweet said it could be announced as soon as next week). Wittenmyer tweets, "don't believe every tweet you read".
I could not begin to tell you with any type of certainty who is right or wrong or what will happen, but I would say an examination of recent history would lead to the conclusion that Mike Quade is Hendry's choice. If that means anything in the end, I guess we'll find out. Hendry could have very easily gave Sandberg (or Trammell) the interim job after Piniella quit, but chose Quade. Then Quade went and done good, got the backing of the players, all of which most likely justified Hendry's decision in his mind. Whether the Ricketts pull rank on Hendry and insist on Sandberg to create some buzz and sell ticket plans, remains to be seen.

bobby does seem to be well respected by his peers...even ones he's taking playing time from in the minors by sticking around trying to "make it."
shame he's not a better defender.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
that would be a good move; scales is worth keeping around in some capacity...

Bobby Scales, Blake Parker outrighted to Triple A btw
ROB G: Because he has been outrighted previously in his career, Bobby Scales can opt for free-agency immediately as an Article XX-B minor league FA (Mike Parisi is the other one). He doesn't have to wait until after the World Series like players eligible to be a Rule 55 minor league FA (6YFA) do.
Blake Parker is not eligible to be an Article XX-B minor league FA or Rule 55 minor league FA, so he will be remaining with in the Cubs organization next season (and he might even get an NRI to ST), unless he gets selected in the December 2010 Rule 5 Draft (which won't happen because if any club was interested enough in him to select him in the Rule 5 Draft, they would have just claimed him off waivers). Parker is not eligible to be a Rule 55 minor league FA until after the 2012 season, unless he gets added back to an MLB 40-man roster in the meantime.

Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Hasn't Sandberg said on multiple occassions that he didnt want to be a bench, hitting or 3rd base coach for a MLB team and that being a AAA manager was better for preparing to be a big league skipper than a MLB assistant?
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
...then he spent his summers riding on a bus for 3 years. heh...
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Quade is only 2 years older (53 v. 51) than Sandberg, so if Hendry made that sort of promise to Sandberg isn't Hendry assuming that Quade is going to be a failure? Because old age isnt going to be a reason for Quade wanting to leave the job in the next five or so years. Given the talent Sandberg might have at Iowa next year, if no one is really looking at him this year for a managing gig this year isnt Manager of the 2011 PCL champs better on a resume than "Bench Coach for the 3rd, 4th, or 5th place Chicago Cubs".
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Frankly I don't know the answer on this, but my hunch is that MLB managers are rarely managing AAA teams the year before they're hired. I could be wrong, but I think Bench Coach on an MLB team is higher profile position.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Most bench coaches and 3rd base coaches aren't in the Hall of Fame, either. People all over baseball said "who the fuck is Mike Quade?", no one is going to say that about Sandberg.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Why does being in the Hall of Fame make you more eligible to manage? Didn't help Ted Williams or Frank Robinson. Sandberg's paid some of his dues, but Quade's coaching experience goes back to the 80s.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
He may say that but it doesn't make it true.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Fire Mike Quade!
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
According to ESPN 1k, Carroll has tweeted again that a Cubs source of his says his report is not true.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
I could be way off, and I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but I always viewed Quade getting the job as, hey, the ship is sinking, let's not have Ryno be the one who has to go down with it. Then the players threw a wrench into it by playing far better under Quade.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
I might believe this if WC said quade had an ACL reconstruction or sandberg had treatment for a concussion
On second thought, I'd probably question the accuracy there too.
Nobody is gonna scoop Levine, Sully, Muskie or GW on this one.

That should have been an "and" but I got what he meant.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
I noticed on Rotowire that their blurb on the Carroll-Wittenmeyer rumor-nonrumor, mentioned that Will Carroll is "formerly" of Baseball Prospectus. Anyone know the story there? Is WC finally going to medical school? did he sign on as a medical transcriptionist for Dr Andrews?
...also saw that today is the 7th anniversary of the Bartman game. Ouch.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
he left there earlier this month.
evidently the organization was moving in a direction he didn't like...which i guess for some reason rubbed a non-trained injury expert who occasionally mis-uses medical terms for a living the wrong way.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
True story: Looking back on the decade of the 2000's, the Bartman game changed the world more than any other single event.
Never forget. * Salute
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Pretty sure, by definition, all but one of those will have to get scooped.
My thinking is that we will have to check the seconds column on their twitter timestamp to see who will be the winner on this one
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
If I'm Quade, having Sandberg there is too much pressure. Ryno has campaigned too actively and publicly for the manager's job. I can't imagine that Hendry would want to give Quade the job on that basis.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Is there a bigger Hendry apologist on the planet than Dunce Miles? All this guy has done since the beginning of the Ricketts era is try to acquit Hendry of all the bad decisions he made, or signed off on, during the Wrigley/Zell era.
Hendry was given a significantly escalating payroll and told to win. He used that incredible financial flexibility to sign a long string of overvalued, back-loaded contracts to players with significant deficiencies in the elements of their skills.
Now Miles would have us believe that all of these decisions were being made from on high, against the will of the general manager, who apparently kept his mouth shut and cashed his million-dollar paychecks without actually doing his job. Except, of course, when a deal worked out, like Ted Lilly, who Hendry bravely signed with one hand on his Blackberry and other beating death away.
I used to respect Miles the most of the Big Four beat reporters, but his recent behavior in respect to acquitting Hendry has been downright shameful.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Other recent contracts (2006-09) that were either bad or at least a misallocation of resources: JJones, Marquis, Eyre, Howry, Miles, and - lest we forget - Bradley.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
It is easy to kick this horse. Let me put on my steel-toed boots to help.
HOWEVER: My jaw dropped in disbelief when the Cubs signed the #1 FA that year. Coveted. Incredible previous year. And, JD Drew was the next in line for an offer. That was about it at this level.
So, I for one was absolutely ecstatic that my team FINALLY spent the "big dough" under the team president's leadership. Hendry built the team that could "win it all". And, in 2008, the team had its zenith with 97 wins and was set up to at the very least, make it to the NLCS. None of us predicted that Dempster would walk 18 guys and give up a Loney Grand Slam to start the pile of shit that we all watched afterwards in games 2 and 3.
I admit to being blind to the long-term consequences after coming up empty here. They are severe. The team's window got slammed down, and "that is that".
But, I can't fault Hendry for at least trying. I did wish, however, I had someone else spending the money that I respect more. I mean, in a fantasy world - what would Jocketty, Schuerholdz, et. al. have done with $140MM?
So now that this formula has failed, the team will try the other route of emphasis on farm and a few FA's. But still will not have an "Ace" on the staff of the caliber we are watching in the Final Four currently.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Wilken drafted one of those aces, arguably the best one.
Halladay was 18 when he was drafted, Trey McNutt was 19 (out of a CC). Their first full seasons in the minors were comparable: Halladay was 15-7 at high A, McNutt 10-1 at three levels including AA. McNutt started two pressure playoff games for Tennessee, and had this line:
11 innings, 9 hits, 3 runs, 3 ER, 4 walks, 12 strikeouts.
Nice job by a 20-year-old who started the season in Peoria.
Then there's Archer, Carpenter, Cashner, etc.
Relax, E-Man, all we have to worry about is getting rid of Soriano. I think ultimately the Cubs will have to give away a couple of very good prospects just to get someone to pay something for Soriano, so the Cubs can save money and Hendry can save face. That's the sort of thing I worry about.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
mcnutt started 2009 throwing high 80, was hitting 91-92mph by the time draft time rolled around and showed up in 2010 hitting mid-90s. good stuff for a 81931739th rounder even though he got paid over slot.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
E-Man, great stuff. I unequivocally agree about Soriano; that signing was a statement (whether it turned out to be misguided or not).
As for an ace, I regularly bash Zambrano, here and elsewhere, but it is very hard to argue with his post-meltdown starts. Not saying it erases anything, not saying it'll continue (in Chicago or elsewhere, if that were to happen), but the man pitched like an ace the last month or however long.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
It's a mistake to sign a player as a statement. Sign a player because he's a good investment.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
The statement is part of the value of the investment.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach
Until the player turns out to be mediocre and then becomes a statement about how poorly the team invests their money. Spend money wisely, if in large sums, and the statements will take care of themselves.
Re: Quade Manager, Sandberg Bench Coach

Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(

Debating the First Draft of W.: The Authors vs. Oliver Stone
If you haven't run across it yet, for the past week Slate has been hosting a high-powered panel discussion bringing Oliver Stone together with three (and, finally, a fourth) of the best-known chroniclers of the Bush administration, to discuss his use of their work and others in his new movie W. Along with Jacob Weisberg, the former Slate editor whose book, The Bush Tragedy, provides much source material for the 41/43 father-son drama Stone portrays, they brought in Bob Woodward and Ron Suskind, who between them have written seven bestsellers on the administration, and today, on what appears to be the final day of the discussion, Hubris coauthor Michael Isikoff joined in with a specific anecdote from his book that Stone used for the movie.
There's a lot of discussion of Stone's dramatic license with the reported facts, with some pointed criticism (and Stone's defenses) of a few of the movie's more Stonian interpretive flights (which just about everyone who's seen W. has noted he has reined in considerably this time), and there's a lot of debate between the journalists about the exact timeline of when the war was decided upon. But what I like best is the shoptalk among these guys who have all been trying to write the first draft of history, without much help from the primary participants. Here's Suskind giving Woodward a backhanded compliment about his unique access:
Bob, clearly, has sat in what journalists generally consider "access heaven" in his unmatched colloquies with Bush. You have witnessed Bush jumping out of his chair to make a point, and many other moments from your interviews provide some signature scenes of this period. But, I wonder, Bob, if you think, looking back, that access to Bush has not been as valuable—hour for hour—as it has been with other presidents whom you've interviewed. I think it's fair to say that Bush and his team don't believe that truthful public disclosure and dialogue are among their central obligations. Other presidents have railed against the troublemakers in the press, but they felt, often reluctantly, that letting the American people know their mind—the good-enough reasons that drive action—was part of their job description. Frankly, I think the best book of your quartet is State of Denial—the one for which, I gather, you were not given access to Bush. But that's a rare occurrence. (The last president you wrote about who wouldn't grant an audience was Nixon, and, of course, you and Carl notched a few historic bell-ringers back then.)
And here's Isikoff arguing that all their discussion of various memos and anecdotes are somewhat beside the point in trying to figure out when the Decider decided (which he backs up with an anecdote from his own book):
We can debate endlessly what really motivated Bush in making the audacious decision to invade Iraq—the threat of WMD, the cooked-up evidence about connections between Saddam and al-Qaida, the need to be pre-emptive in the post-9/11 era, the desire to secure Mideast oil supplies. But I think the "tear it all down" line captures the essence of Bush's worldview. Why monkey around with diplomacy, U.N. inspections, and halfway measures? And the search for one key moment to pinpoint the "decision" time is probably illusory. Bush the Decider didn't actually decide in Cabinet or war-council meetings. His White House didn't thrash out option memos and debate them endlessly. He decided on what his gut told him, and his gut instincts were that he had had enough of trying to "box in" Saddam Hussein and that it was time to kick his ass and remove him through military force.
This all gives me an opportunity to point to a couple interviews I did for our Election 2008 store this fall with two of the participants above: Woodward and Suskind. They are both, like their recent books, The War Within and The Way of the World, focused mostly on events after those in Stone's movie. Woodward is concerned mostly with discussing a much later (and more successful) decision: Bush's choice to go forward with the "surge" in Iraq:
And with Suskind, we talked less about his administration reporting and more about what is the real focus of The Way of the World, the threat of nuclear proliferation and the importance of America's moral identity in controlling them:
I know not everybody (me included) prefers listening to reading, so I'll post transcripts of these separately in the next day or so as well. --Tom

Monday, August 18, 2014
School starts Tuesday, and the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office is preparing for heavy traffic.
According to the BCSO, deputies will be positioned at schools that require additional attention due to an overly abundant amount of traffic steaming from first day attendees, student drivers, and working parents dropping their kids off.
The first day can create a difficult and frustrating scenario for all, with the flow of traffic resulting in congestion. Deputies will be out in full force to help create a smooth and safe transition for all returning to school, BCSO Spokesman Dan Moon said.
Citations will be issued to drivers who fail to adhere to the rules in the school zones.
Deputies will be out patrolling at various schools to monitor traffic flow and help assist with other needs throughout the day Tuesday.
The public is advised to use caution and slow down while approaching School Zones, as some kids will be walking to and from school. Pay close attention to stopped school buses, making sure not to pass in a must stop area, and to adhere to caution lights during school hours.

When asked on KWHL's The Bob & Mark Show Friday if she and a 20-year-old Alaska pipeline worker are an item as rumored, she replied, "Are you guys getting personal with me, really?"
But the hosts on the Anchorage-based show pushed her to just admit she has a new boyfriend, helpfully suggesting that she say, "Yeah, you know what, I'm seeing a guy and he's really great and Tripp loves him and we're having a really good time and we're really good friends."
Palin, 20, responded with a chuckle, "Yeah, we can go with that. I'm thrilled. I love the town that I live in. I love my house. Tripp's happy; he's healthy."
The house is a five-bedroom abode in Maricopa, Ariz., she recently purchased for $172,000 and for which she "wrote a check," she says.
"It was cool. It made Dancing with the Stars worth it, for sure," added the season 11 runner-up of her purchase.
Palin, who ended her relationship with Levi Johnston, the father of her son Tripp, in August, also acknowledged she has long wanted to change Tripp's name from Johnston to Palin, but said she hasn't broached it with Johnston in two years.
"Yeah, I've asked Levi to do it many different times, just get it out of the way, just sign over his parental rights, but I don't know if he will or if he wants to right now," she said.
She says she's willing to live without his child-support contributions if he'll sign over parental rights. "Yeah, of course, I've asked him to do that many times – just say, 'Hey, look, let's just avoid this custody case that's been ongoing since Tripp was born just get it over with just sign over your rights.' "
"'He's always going to be your son, you can see him whenever you want to,' but he just doesn't want to sign him over because it looks bad on paper," she added.
Asked how often Johnston sees Tripp, she said, "Since Dancing With the Stars he's seen him, at the most, three times." And not for whole weekends, she claims. "It's like four hours I think. It's unfortunate for Tripp."

The tennis star, 32, was playing her third game with sister Venus Williams, 34, when spectators noticed she seemed off, serving four double faults. The siblings retired from the match early, and referees revealed Serena is suffering from a virus, according to a Tweet from the official Wimbledon account.
"I am heartbroken I'm not able to continue in the tournament. I thought I could rally this morning, because I really wanted to compete, but this bug just got the best of me," Serena said in a statement to PEOPLE. " We were all looking forward to a great match. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of the fans for their cheering and understanding. I look forward to returning to Wimbledon next year."
The Washington Post reports that Serena was seen tearfully receiving medical attention even before the match began about 13 minutes later than scheduled.
Serena, who was ranked No. 1 in women's singles but lost in the tournament Saturday, has won five Wimbledon doubles titles with her sister.
The word from the referee's office is that Serena Williams is suffering from a viral illness. #Wimbledon http://t.co/TmRAWfQjnD— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 1, 2014

Summa's Rehabilitation Services includes these team members:
Athletic Trainer
An athletic trainer is educated in the recognition, immediate care, rehabilitation, and reconditioning of injuries to athletes, workers or the general population. The athletic trainer focuses on risk management and injury prevention but often is involved with improving a patient's strength, flexibility, pain level, and functional status. Certified athletic trainers, at minimum, have graduated with a Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university. After successful completion of a written, simulation and practical national certification examination, the athletic trainer is licensed by the State of Ohio. Additionally, athletic trainers must attend continuing education courses to maintain the license.
Exercise Physiologist
Exercise Physiologists can make a difference for those patients with pulmonary, cardiovascular or immunological conditions. The Exercise Physiologist evaluates the patient's heart rhythm, blood pressure, weight, strength and flexibility and creates an exercise plan suited to their needs. By setting exercise standards, goals, and priorities, they can make a difference in the patient's daily performance.
Exercise Physiologists are primarily employed with a fitness center, however, they work closely with wellness and rehabilitation centers where they assist the general population with their activity needs.
The Exercise Physiologist may hold a Bachelor's degree or other certifications and are CPR certified.
A massotherapist holds a diploma or certificate from a massage therapy school before completing a state licensing examination. A license is granted from the State of Ohio Medical Board upon successful completion. A variety of massage techniques and approaches are utilized, including:
Occupational Therapist
An occupational therapist is a skilled professional with a Bachelor's or Master's degree. Practitioners complete internships and must pass a national examination before becoming licensed by the State of Ohio Medical Board. The therapists complete annual continuing education courses to further update their training and accentuate their skills.
Here at Summa, our Occupational Therapy program is designed to help individuals improve their ability to independently perform tasks at home and work that are usually taken for granted. Our skilled and experienced therapists work with people of all ages to enable them to maximize independence and lead productive lives.
We work with individuals who have conditions that are physically, emotionally or mentally disabling. Often, Occupational Therapy involves assisting with motor skills or sometimes it is tasks like using the computer or cooking a meal. We also work with individuals to improve their independence with self-care skills such as eating or bathing.
Physical Therapist
Physical Therapy is a skilled area of rehabilitation that helps those who have had an injury or surgery recover to a normal lifestyle.
Recovering from an injury or weakened condition can be very hard work. Summa's Physical Therapy team is ready to help encourage patients to improve their strength, flexibility, balance, function and coordination.
Our goal at Summa is to work closely with patients by making them stronger, relieving their pain, helping them relearn daily activities, such as walking or climbing stairs, and teaching family members how to assist. We use exercises and physical activities which help condition muscles and restore strength and movement. Activities could include massage, patient education, and water therapy.
With so many injuries being unique, our therapists will tailor rehabilitation according to the patient's specific needs and abilities.
