1. Representing the Subject explores the work of a
sample of twentieth century verbal and visual artists
who challenge Western constructions of "the self" and
"Woman" in their innovative self-representations.
These artists include: Gertrude Stein (1874-1946),
Claude Cahun (1894-1954), Zora Neale Hurston
(1901-1960), Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), Lyn Hejinian
(b. 1941), Gloria Anzaldúa (b. 1942), Cindy Sherman
(b. 1954) and Ruth Behar (b. 1956). For many, the
abundance of self-representations produced by women
in the twentieth century reinforces the stereotype
that women cannot help being autobiographical. Much
of the work discussed in this book, however,
transcends the personal sphere and extends into the
realm of cultural critique. Self-representational
works allow the creator to occupy dual positions, as
both subject and object; this provides a unique
insight into the self/Other dynamic that makes
subjectivity possible. Representing the Subject
investigates how the aforementioned artists
understand the constitution of subjectivity, more
than just their particular experience of subjectivity.

Heroin found inside van that slammed into West Easton home during police pursuit
Driver ran away following crash, police said
Heroin was found inside a minivan that plowed into a West Easton home during a police pursuit early Saturday morning.
The pursuit started around 1:30 a.m. Saturday at 15th and Washington streets in Easton. Police said they originally stopped the Plymouth Voyager for driving with no headlights on. The car sped off and led police on a pursuit. The minivan crashed into a parked car at one point before the plowing into the home in West Easton, according to police.
The suspect jumped out of the car, climbed over a fence and ran away. Police said no arrests have been made no suspects identified.
The minivan plowed into Paul James' home on Iron Street, abruptly awakening James and neighbors.
"A loud crash, sounded like an earthquake," James said.
Tire tracks end at Paul James' basement wall, after the minivan went through a fence and into his basement.
"First thing I did when I opened this door, I noticed the parking light was sticking out over here….I look and I can see the front of this van sticking out…The motor was shut off but you could hear the fan motor running. It started to kick in, that this isn't right, and I'm still trying to wake up," James said.
When James looked outside, police cars were scattered throughout his property. Neighbors recalled seeing a K9 Unit on scene.
Police said 34 packets of heroin were found inside the vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call Easton police at 610-250-6635.

Spotlight LEADERS FREE This year, LEADERS FREE have been selected as one of the leading featured at TCT 2016.
The primary endpoint of this prospective, double-blind, randomized (1:1) clinical trial comparing the BioFreedom™ DCS to the Gazelle™ BMS in High Bleeding Risk (HBR) patients with
1 month DAPT, have been presented by Philip Urban.
1 month DAPT, have been presented by Philip Urban.
Spotlight BioFreedom™ PCI in High Bleeding Risk
(HBR) patients With HBR patients, the challenge is to balance the ischemic risk versus the bleeding risk associated with long-term DAPT.
Drug-eluting stents (DES) require dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), to avoid stent thrombosis (ST). However, prolonged DAPT has been shown to increase the risk of bleeding in the general PCI population. Clinical data show that bleeding is associated with an increased risk of mortality.
High Bleeding Risk patients are at even greater risk.

Damn, could this be an isolated incident? Either way the idea that triathletes, endurance runners, etc are people in top physical condition is wrong, but one that is widely accepted as fact.

Damn, could this be an isolated incident? Either way the idea that triathletes, endurance runners, etc are people in top physical condition is wrong, but one that is widely accepted as fact.
that's a pretty eye-opening report. i've never been one for long-endurance style training (unless you count long bouts of hiking), but i'm sure i won't be training for any marathons now.
it would be great to see how these findings compare to athletes who are taking things a little slower, keeping their heart rate under 75% max. i suppose if they are not breathing as hard and their hearts pumping as fast, the damage--if any--would be significantly reduced.
Yeah that was a pretty crazy report. Thankfully most people don't train nearly as hard as that one girl did in the report. She was logging 100km of jogging and 350-400 km of cycling per week as well as swimming 30-35km. That is a lot for the heart to take. My uncle is a cardiologist and he used to play college basketball when he was in med school. He has a malfunctioning left ventricle too now and he thinks it was from overtraining. The report did shock me about the 40+ marathoners who had ventricular damage and how 9 of them died within 5 years. That was definitely an eye opener.
"If man made it, don't eat it" - Jack Lallane
People say I am on a "crazy" diet. What is so crazy about eating veggies, fruits, seafood and organ meats? Just because I don't eat whole wheat and processed food doesn't make my diet "crazy". Maybe everyone else with a SAD are the "crazy" ones for putting that junk in their system.
World champions in any sport usually take performance enhancing drugs in addition to exercising many hours every day. I'd argue they couldn't even train as much as they do without the drugs.
@PrimalRob, I think if training for a marathon was something you have wanted to do then don't let this derail you. You're talking about people that literally ran themselves to the ground.
Training for a single marathon, or one every couple of years or so just can't be THAT detrimental to the body.
Also, aren't the vast majority of endurance athletes vegetarian or something? They were probably lacking in other areas while pushing their bodies to the limit constantly. I have no desire currently to do any training such as theirs, but maybe in the future, and I won't let this article sway me too much.
I wonder if Dean Karnazes has this problem since he is paleo?

It appears that Democrats and Republicans can't even agree on what to eat for dinner.
A poll of American eating habits conducted by Public Policy Polling suggests folks make food choices that align with their political points of view. There were several distinct divisions between the political parties, so much so that we created the quiz below based on the survey findings. Take it, and you'll discover if you're more in line with Republican eating habits or Democratic.
And remember: The quiz is not part of the liberal media conspiracy. It is meant to be fun. (Republicans will find the definition of "fun" here. Democrats will find it here.)

Dan Chaon's novels have indelible macabre moments -- a vicious dog attack in "You Remind Me of Me," a man and boy driving to a hospital with the boy's severed hand in a box between them in "Await Your Reply." Such icy horrors also imbue Chaon's latest collection of 12 short stories, Stay Awake.
"The Bees" opens with a 5-year-old who repeatedly wakes up screaming like "a young child dying violently." The son's episodes unnerve his father and dredge up a guilt-ridden past. In "I Wake Up," a young man places weekly phone calls to a sister he cannot remember; the family split up after their mother drowned two of their siblings.
In these tales, written over a decade in Cleveland, readers will notice repeating ideas -- missing fingers, dead parents, ghostly images, characters disconnected from the world around them -- but the stories each haunt with their individual weight. Stripped of the intricate plotting of Chaon's longer work, "Stay Awake" demonstrates his kinship with the writing of Shirley Jackson -- the artful narratives are tinged with the inexplicable and supernatural, but our dread stems from people who teeter on the edge.
For reviews of five other noteworthy paperbacks:
Lauren Groff
Told through lyrical vignettes, Groff's critically acclaimed second novel follows the development and eventual decline of a New York hippie commune through the 1970s. Beginning when its main character, Bit Stone, is five-years-old, "Arcadia" jumps through the decades up to 2018, tracing the fortunes of the commune and its lingering effects on Bit.
While some reviewers concluded several characters remained too close to caricatures, and complained that Groff left too many questions unanswered, "Arcadia" was nearly universally praised for its sympathetic portrayal of the commune and its residents. Her well-intentioned idealist characters aren't easy targets of her mockery.
Plain Dealer Book Editor Karen R. Long described Groff's novel as "ravishing" and saw it as shaping up "to be among 2012's best novels."
Long enjoyed the novel's sly humor, but she especially admired Groff's writing. While Groff "was born in 1978, too late to have witnessed" scenes of New York's communes," Long felt that "she renders them with a lushness and specificity that will startle old-timers out of their Birkenstocks."
Although Long felt that, "on a paragraph-by-paragraph level, the writing is marvelous," she found Groff's symbolism didactic: "A trapped goldfish passage is painfully blatant, and a Twin Towers allusion is worse."
Still, Long saw these complaints as quibbles that take little away from the novel's strengths as "Groff skirts the cheesy stereotypes that might have thrown her book onto the pyre of the culture wars" and, instead, captures "the maddening, exhilarating glint of human complexity."
In The Washington Post, Ron Charles seconded Long's recommendation, explaining that he kept worrying that the novel "was too good to last" as it unfolded "one moment of mournful beauty after another." He explained, "I was constantly torn between wanting to gulp down this book or savor its lines. Even the most incidental details vibrate with life."
Charles especially appreciated the way Groff avoids "disparaging the naivete of 1970s communes" and "offers something surprising: if not a redemption of utopian ideals, then at least a complicated defense of the dream."
While "in practice, of course, that dream gets the psychedelic life kicked out of it," Charles said, "Groff's miracle is to record the death of the fantasy but then show how the residue of affection can persist and, given the right soil, sprout again. 'Arcadia' wends a harrowing path back to a fragile, lovely place you can believe in."
The Beautiful and The Damned
Siddhartha Deb (Faber and Faber, 253 pp.)
Taking its title from F. Scott Fitzgerald and subtitled "A Portrait of the New India," Deb's book offers five essays that open up a landscape that is "sometimes intimately familiar and sometimes completely unknown."
Deb explains that he is interested in India's "apparent opposites -- visibility and invisibility, past and present, wealth and poverty, quietism and activism." He portrays both "the technology-driven work that is symptomatic of the new India as well as the exhausting manual labour that is considered irrelevant."
The book's first piece, "The Great Gatsby: A Rich Man in India," is its strongest. Deb profiles Arindam Chauduri, the mastermind behind Planman, a conglomerate of companies that includes the Indian Institute of Planning and Management -- a private business school that has established an international presence -- and a media production company.
Deb describes Arindam as "a man of his times. His flamboyance, his ambition, his moneymaking: if his lightning-rod persona made these aspects visible, it did so because these qualities already existed as charged elements in the atmosphere of contemporary India."
In The Wall Street Journal, Deborah Baker wrote that Deb's book successfully translates "the dreams and pet schemes of a choice handful of Indians into an American idiom."
Baker noted that "Deb has a detached yet compassionate air" and "a particularly fine eye for a culture and landscape in transit." Part of the pleasure of reading his book, she continued, "is that both the principal characters and the unexpected walk-ons seem anything but frozen in a time or place. They live as much in their imaginations as in the office parks, satellite campuses, industrial estates and deep-freeze lobbies of five-star hotels where Mr. Deb finds them."
In The New York Times, Samanth Subramanian noted that "Deb works largely within the format of the profile, which allows him to closely inspect the dents made by modern India in his characters' lives."
While Subramanian said that none of Deb's "subsequent four essays can quite match his chapter on Chaudhuri, either for drama or for acuteness of insight," he found that "they are all patiently observed and thoughtfully composed."
Subramanian also pointed to the way "The Beautiful and the Damned" serves as a rejoinder to "the bluff cheer about India's growth that has been peddled by authors like Thomas L. Friedman."
Instead, Deb portrays the way "the transformation of India has wrecked the lives of her farmers, has stoked people's appetites for money and power and has ripped open fresh gulfs of inequity between her rich and her poor." Still, Subramanian continued, "there is a nuance to even the direst of Deb's pessimisms -- an acknowledgment that India's lives are newly precarious precisely because they could swing either the way of opportunity or the way of ruin."
At the Fights
Edited by George Kimball and John Schulian (Library of America, 517 pp.)
I've never been a fan of watching boxing, but the nature of the sport -- its visceral brutality and the roped-in conflict -- makes for terrific reading.
As Colum McCann notes in the forward to this collection of 48 pieces on the sport, writers love boxing because "the language is all cinema and violence: the burst eye socket, the ruined cartilage, the dolphin punch coming up from the depths." They can "press the language out of it. The sweathouse of the body. The moving machinery of ligaments. The intimate fray of rope. The men in their archaic stances like anatomy illustrations from an old-time encyclopedia."
The anthology spans writing from 1910 to 2009, and includes sportswriters such as Dick Schaap and Robert Lipsyte, as well as contributions from authors readers might not first associate with sports: Pete Hamil, Pete Dexter, Sherwood Anderson, Joyce Carol Oates and James Baldwin.
Oates' piece on Mike Tyson, "Rape and the Boxing Ring" looks at Tyson's conviction on rape charges as "a minor tragedy for the beleaguered sport of boxing, but a considerable triumph for women's rights," especially since bookmakers had given Tyson 5-1 odds that he would be acquitted.
Katherine Dunn profiles female boxer Lucia Rijker in "The Knockout," a competitor who "looks like she sees through brick walls." Dunn examines the way the boxer "is sharply conscious of her role in the new wave of serious women in a sport that has traditionally marginalized females as titillating novelty acts."
Pat Putnam documents the 1985 fight between Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns in "Eight Minutes of Fury." For those who saw it, Putnam writes, "the memory of its non-stop savagery will remain forever."
Writing for The Los Angeles Times, critic Mike Downey praised this "lovingly rendered anthology" as "a treasure chest" that "overflows with rings of gold."
Downey noted his surprise at the collection's exclusion of writers Damon Runyon, Grantland Rice, Ring Lardner and Bat Masterson, "particularly considering a couple of the comparative lightweights who did make the cut."
Still, he found much to enjoy: "Clang a bell and begin with Jack London -- racist sentiments unaltered, unlike in certain editions of Mark Twain's -- at a Jack Johnson fight of more than a century ago. Do not backpedal because you soon will lunge face-first into Gay Talese's astounding account of Floyd Patterson's innermost fears and loathings, then the peerless Pete Dexter's yarn from a sparring scrap in a South Philly gym, then a Bill Nack pi ce de r sistance about the smoldering hatred that Smokin' Joe Frazier feels for his cruel tormentor, Muhammad Ali."
In these accounts, Downey saw a lesson for contemporary sportswriters, "a permanent reminder to 21st century storytellers to take a reader someplace beyond a stale press conference or the lame quotes captured by a dozen thrusted Sonys at some jock's locker. To emulate the influential styles of a Mark Kram or a Dick Schaap is to understand why their progeny, Mark Jr. and Jeremy, respectively, would come to be two of the most splendid sports correspondents of this day and age. To accompany the late, great Vic Ziegel on his appointed rounds with Roberto Duran is to wonder why more of today's journalists can't seem to pry themselves out of a hermetically sealed pressbox."
The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012Edited by Dave Eggers (Mariner, 432 pp.)
This annual collection usually ranks among my favorites in The Best American series. While Dave Eggers serves as the book's editor, the selections for this miscellany are by high school students from San Francisco and Ann Arbor, Mich. The resulting collection is a terrific grouping of essays, satirical pieces, short fiction, lists and comics.
The front section of the anthology, "a haphazard stockpile of pieces that don't fit anywhere else," begins with "Sonnet, with Vengeance" by Sherman Alexie and features a number of dispatches from the Occupy Wall Street movement. Adam Hochschild gives a sense of context regarding how OWS fits into the history of American protests. Poet Robert Haas offers a view of the Occupy protests in California.
In "Redeployment," Phil Klay describes his homecoming after a tour of duty in Iraq: "It's not a straight shot back, from war to the Jacksonville mall." Among the problems back home, he writes, is that "your thoughts don't come out in any kind of straight order. You don't think, oh, I did A, then B, then C, then D. You try to think about home, then you're in the torture house." He knows that when his wife asks, "How are you?" her question actually means, "How was it? Are you crazy now?"
Jose Antonio Vargas's "Outlaw," an essay published in The New York Times Magazine, discusses the author's life as an undocumented immigrant. When he was 16 and applying at the local DMV to get a driver's permit, Vargas learned from a clerk that his green card was fake:
"I decided then that I could never give anyone reason to doubt I was an American. I convinced myself that if I worked enough, if I achieved enough, I would be rewarded with citizenship. I felt I could earn it."
But in graduating high school and college and becoming a respected journalist, Vargas says that he has lived the American dream only "on the surface," as he is "still an undocumented immigrant."
That "means living a different kind of reality. It means going about my day in fear of being found out. It means rarely trusting people, even those closest to me, with who I really am. It means keeping my family photos in a shoebox rather than displaying them on shelves in my home, so friends don't ask about them. It means reluctantly, even painfully, doing things I know are wrong and unlawful. And it has meant relying on a sort of 21st-century underground railroad of supporters, people who took an interest in my future and took risks for me."
Kirkus Reviews said the anthology "reads like a long, engaging annual magazine" that is "very much a product of its time." The magazine's critic noted that the collection "will leave readers marveling over many of the discoveries and puzzling over the inclusion of a few," though "all readers will find their own favorites that justify the collection as a whole."
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
Mindy Kaling (Three Rivers, 222 pp.)
Kaling is best known as Kelly Kapoor on "The Office," where she was a writer and executive producer. She is also the creator and star of "The Mindy Project."
Like Tina Fey's "Bossypants," Kaling's book offers a mix of memoir and confession, balancing stories of her awkward childhood with an insider's view of Hollywood. But where Fey's book offered something substantive, especially when compared to the typical fatuous books churned out by celebrities, Kaling falls short.
In her longer pieces, though, Kaling shines, earning some of the comparisons critics drew between her and Fey and Nora Ephron. In "Matt & Ben & Mindy & Brenda," Kaling recounts her experiences developing a play as it grew from a set of inside jokes into an Off-Broadway hit that set off her career. "All About 'The Office' " does exactly what the titles implies, depicting life on the show's set.
These highlights are swamped, however, by short pieces and lists that feel like filler material. Essays such as "Franchises I Would Like to Reboot," "My Favorite Eleven Moments in Comedy," "In Defense of Chest Hair" and "Karaoke Etiquette" show Kalin trying too hard to be funny.
In The Washington Post, Jen Chaney wrote that while she thinks "Kaling is pretty awesome," the problem here "is that 'Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?' doesn't provide enough strong evidence of this awesomeness," especially because "the book takes unnecessary detours that sometimes do it a disservice."
Chaney found Kaling's writing "occasionally veers into bloggy territory" and "mirrors the tone of her Twitter feed." While the book's conversational approach "isn't entirely a bad thing," Chaney noted that reading Kaling's words "is like listening to a likably gabby friend chatter happily over generously poured glasses of red wine: What she says is entertaining and makes you want to be her BFF, but some of the details will fade as quickly as those tannins leave the tongue."
"By the end of 'Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?,' Chaney concluded, "we don't want Mindy Kaling to shut up. Not at all. We just want her to write a more focused book, one that's as consistently hilarious as she is capable of being. We know she has it in her."

All this forward-facing camera work adds up. According to a recent Pew Research Center Poll, 55 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 33 have taken a selfie and shared it online.
Among those oodles of self-portraits is the popular genre of travel selfies. Feeds are filled with shots of folks mugging in front of world wonders and famous landmarks. Some call travel selfies narcissistic (and then there's those lice rumors), but according to Psychology Today the shots are perfectly normal.
"News bulletin: Taking selfies is a normal thing to do, especially if you have embraced visual communication," says Psychology Today writer Pamela Rutledge, Ph.D. "It's okay for all of us to document our big moments. Who knows how many times you'll be standing in front of the Grand Canyon or the Leaning Tower of Pisa?"
It's time to shake off any selfie shame, grab your suitcase and see the world. But before you do, check out our guide to clichéd tourist shots. Avoid them or copy them, the choice is yours.

When Alain Vigneault came to the Rangers he made the surprising admission that he wasn't going to watch game tape on his new players. He wanted to give everyone a clean slate and felt looking back would stop the Rangers from moving forward.
Because of this decision, Vigneault found himself behind the eight ball when training camp began, forcing him to dedicate virtually all of preseason to evaluation instead of properly educating the players on his systems. This ultimately left the team woefully unprepared to start the season and was the likely reason for the abysmal opening west coast road trip.
Now 33 games into the season and his team grossly underachieving, Vigneault says he had no misconceptions coming into the team about the kind of personnel he was inheriting (via Daily News)…
"Not really. I mean I knew even though I didn't know the East real well, I knew our skill set. I knew that this team was based around real strong goaltending night in and night out. As far as the overall picture of the team, I knew what I was getting into, the areas we had to work on, and I didn't think it was gonna come overnight and it's not. As much as we're struggling in certain areas, and I think that's clear for everybody, we're still right in the picture. The effort I'm seeing right now on and off the ice, we're working our way to find the wins we need to get back on track."
…listen, we all agree that the mismatch between personnel and coach falls 100% on Sather, but AV deserves his fair share of criticism for not doing his homework on the Rangers players either before he accepted the position or the start of training camp.
…admissions that he doesn't know the team's leadership or that he's been TOLD Del Zotto offers more than he's showing only highlight the fact that, despite what he's saying, Vigneault had a real lack of understanding of the team. Shouldn't he have met with the core before the season to get a better feel of personalities? Wouldn't it have been smart to educate himself on the positives and negatives of each players by watching game film? That's not gaining preconceived notions of a player, that's called properly evaluating your talent. Training camp and a few preseason games isn't enough to give a new coach a proper understanding of his individual player's strength and weaknesses.
…maybe, just maybe, if Vigneault had the proper knowledge of his roster he could have made adjustments to his systems before the season, so it would have fit the Rangers personnel. Instead, it was installed as if he was still coaching a talent laden Canucks lineup skilled enough to implement his schemes. And because of that, the Rangers have looked confused and completely lost on both ends of the ice for almost the entire season.
…and now, it's only getting worse as AV again plays catchup while he attempts to develop a new defense-oriented game plan that his players will feel comfortable in. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."

Hello my father went into long term care last year. My mother
This answer was rated:
Hello my father went into long term care last year. My mother is not coping well at all. He was abusive to us as children. She ignored it and should have done something about it. He developed vascular
one year ago, not one of us kids live in the same area as her except for my schizophrenic sister whom my mother has shunned since my father's illness and whom she verbally abused consistantly as well as my father. My sister, brother and I have been to see her 7 times within the last year and I have had her fly to my house - it is never enough and tells her friends we are horrible children. Each time I have been with her it has been worse. She has been selfish, demanding, coniving, miserable, damaging, manipulative and hateful. Mixed with remnants of the tolerable times which we all hope will return. She is on Ativan and has been on antidepressants. The antidepressant worked so well at one point that my sister actually made plans for her to live near her. She has told us she is unable to tolerate them now and that they make her sick. We do not believe this at all, at all. We all were so relieved and now we are all so very
again by her behaviour. I have decided for myself that I can not personally care for her and even speaking with her a couple times a week is difficult. I find myself falling into her behaviours, wierd? I described to someone that it felt like you were being sucked into a vortex when you were speaking with her or with her. I never discussed this with my sister who revealed to me in desperation that she felt as if she would never be happy unless she were as miserable as her. She lives an hour and a half by plane. We are all feeling so guilty and want to deal with this. She is 78 years old and could definitely physically care for herself and even drive, but she chooses to rely on other people (friends) to drive her everywhere. She never says please or thank you when asking for things and sounds more like the "Shift Boss". Her requests do not come across as do me a favour sweetie, but more of a power thing if you get my drift. If an elderly woman is psychologically damaging to their family (who have all already been abused by her in the past), behaves this way, would it be acceptable to telephone her doctor and perhaps have her hospitalized or to suggest to her that unless she go back on the antidepressants that she go into an assisted living building and not expect us to communicate with her? One person told me to be consistantly nice to her and that it would never ever change, and that challenging her or slighting her would provoke her into doing even more damage. What is the best way to deal with this situation??? My father is hospitalized and unable to even be in a nursing home because the
occurred in his "control centre" (which apparently he wasn't very good at anyway).

Hello. I believe I can be of help to you with this issue.
You are on the right train of thinking about your mother's needs at this time. No one wants to be around her or care for her and even though it would be upsetting to her, it is important for her to hear where she stands with family members about her long term care, living circumstance and the fact that no one wants her to live with them because of her behavior. So it might be worthwhile for existing family members to all agree to schedule a time to get together with your mother; prior to the meeting with her, talk about what you all will or won't do to support her, visit her, etc. Then, as a group, explain to her that you've jointly agreed that she needs to move into an assisted living situation because there are simply too many 'personality clashes' between her and each of you and that she cannot live with you or other family members going forward. Explain that she can live in her assisted living apartment nearby one of you (kids) and you will each make an effort to visit her. But, she needs to understand that since your father developed dementia, her mood has deteriorated and she seems depressed and really needs to reconsider taking medication or getting into psychotherapy for her depression, because you all firmly believe she is in fact, depressed. If she does nothing for her depression, than her personality clashes with each of you will continue and it is likely that she will have few contacts with her kids, few phone calls etc. So if she wants to strengthen the relationships and communication with her own children after she moves into assisted living, she needs to work hard to improve her depression and mood, so her irritability doesn't chase everyone away. So this is the 'gist' of what your mother needs to hear, jointly from all of her children. You can certainly change it or tweak it, but she has a right to know what it will take to have future contacts with her kids, and a meaningful relationship.
I think you certainly can try to just 'be nice and kind at all times' toward her, but she isn't too old to realize that how she treats people affects their interest in having a relationship with her----it is JUST THAT SIMPLE. I worked with a 93 year old woman with partial dementia who became nasty, mean and hateful toward everyone--even loved ones who came to visit her in the nursing home. She had several talks with a niece who made it clear that whenever she was not feeling in a good mood and started saying mean hurtful things, she (the niece) would tell her she was leaving and would come back, "when you are in a better mood and really want to talk pleasantly with me". Well it took 3-4 visits, with the announcement that, it "is clear you are in a bad mood today and don't want to have a pleasant interaction with me, so I'll come back later when you are feeling better". and she promptly got up and left. Gradually, this old woman got the message---it was clear to her that no one would visit her unless she was pleasant, and amazingly, she changed her behavior during visits
and her overall mood improved.
Now this was a 93 year old woman with limited mental capacity but she figured it out and became happier during the months before she died (i.e., she passed away about 3 months later) due to a heart attack. My feeling is this: You and your sibs have a terrible relationship with your mother; no one wants her living with them, and no one really wants to have a relationship with her at this time. You have nothing to lose by clearly outlining to her what she needs to do to literally, 'earn' visitation and contact with her kids going forward. If her feelings are hurt or she gets angry at hearing this honest message from her children, 'so what'? She is already bitter, angry, self-centered and will find 'reasons' to project blame displace her unhappiness onto you if you make yourself a target. She has right to know what WILL reliably cause her family to WANT to spend time with her during her remaining years. Frankly, she doesn't have a clue right now.
My suggestion above may seem harsh and unfeeling to some, but it is honest, and I don't think you have anything to lose by trying this. Sounds like her life will most likely become more lonely, isolated, etc.,
if she remains clueless about why no one wants to be with her, and therefore, nothing about her behavior changes.
I'll pause here and solicit your reaction to this post, and I'll carefully attend to any contradictions or challenges you want to present.

Yes, I agree. My sister would be better at that than me, but I know unless we all agree that the anger will move toward the open door. Yes it is to the point of how worse could it get. Perhaps I need my own prepared response. I am frightened of her though. The way she treated my Dad and my Schizophrenic Sister. She could cause lots of trouble. What if she turns my siblings against me, for example?
Dr. Michael
replied 4 years ago.
You are afraid of your mother 'as if' you were still the scared, abused 10 year old girl.
I don't mean this unkindly, but anyone reading your last post would immediate be struck by this interpretation. So she could get angry and each of you could absorb her anger emotionally and prepare for it, and it won't affect you
unless you let it.
You are 46 year old. What are you afraid of? She can scream, gossip, spread nasty stories and rumours, even call the police and complain of abuse. You say she could cause lots of trouble? What family trouble can she cause if ALL OF THE CHILDREN talk about what needs to be done, how to handle it, and and you jointly make PLANS AND ANTICIPATE her negative, angry reaction to it---
and how you should handle that as a family?
Your siblings know her quite well and if she can actually succeed in 'turning them against you' this doesn't say much for the mental capacity of your siblings, their maturity, their judgment etc. She wouldn't be able to do such a thing if you talk about prospects that she will TRY IT, if she gets angry at your message,
and you anticipate it and agree together what to do if she begins to complain or 'tell stories' to each of you, about one another.
I really want to hear your response to this, please.

I thought about that. I knew you would think it childish. They are just fears. Where I seems to be brave and grown up in all kinds of situations in my life, this one does make me revert a bit. My brother once told me that he was afraid that he would get upset if someone else got one of the "treasures" he had hoped for or that she had promised to him. It was so funny because she actually ripped the tape with my name on it on a necklace set promised to me and gave it to him for his wife! We vowed not to let her heirlooms or money mean anything. We all detached. We are all sensible and good people and all VERY tired of this. I am sure agreement will come easy. I really like you advice and I am looking forward to proposing this to my siblings. I need to go now, but I hope that I can revisit this with you if I need to.
Dr. Michael
replied 4 years ago.
Thankfully, despite your history with your mother, you clearly possess what one could call a wise, rational and objective 'mind' that is capable of 'stepping back' and looking at this situation quite objectively. You can most certainly get back with me in the future if you have additional questions or issues about this. Just list Dear Dr.Michael in the title of the question and I'll be the one to pick it up.

I'd get the LX7 over the S100 assuming pocketability isn't a major concern.
The dealbreaker for me is how much slower the canon is at turning on and at focusing and taking shots, and how much of a delay there is between shots (at least what I could gather from online reviews). The LX7 is supposed to be super quick in that regard, and that has always been my biggest complaint about all the canon p&s I've had in the past.
It's also Panasonic's highest end compact, meaning finishing on it is (or at least, 2 generations old was) super nice. It's worth noting that Leica (which is a super luxe camera company) rebrands these as their compacts.
So, compared to a Canon S100 - this should take better pictures, and have better controls, but it's also harder to fit in a pocket by some margin.

IMO, the initial NEX was a nice camera, but a flaw or two. Starting with the C3 they got rid of the flaws while maintaining the good stuff. I have the C3 (pretty much the lowest I would go right now if you can still find, tho the 5n is a super deal, those that are left).
The NEX line uses an APS-C sensor. The same in MOST (many) non-full frame DSLR. That with the good lenses and software enable to take pic's very much on par with DSLR's. This includes very low light and/or very high ISO (like a DSLR) and get excellent results.
It is a mirrorless camera, which has the effect of being smaller and lighter than a DSLR. This was important to me as I travel a lot. HOWEVER, even with the pancake lens it probably would not be considered a pocket camera. I can get it easily in a jacket pocket, but no way pants or jeans. Also some of the less expensive NEX do not have an optical viewfinder.
I love the camera, the line and their recent lenses released and soon to be make it a good choice. But I would ONLY get if size is important AND you don't need the ultimate in fast focus. If size is not an issue and/or super fast focus is needed, go entry DSLR.
As such, I'm always on the look out for something close to the quality but can fit in my jeans pocket. Even my current Canon, I'm dissapointed in the speed and low light efforts.
I would like to clarify that, as stated, the main argument of my post was that SDers have, in my experience, been incorrect with their notions about the Panasonic Lumix SZ and ZS series that have been posted/discussed in these forums, and therefore, I would beware of the advice of SD in general about Panasonic cameras. I personally purchased three different models (not "2"), with one of them being marked as a "higher-end point-and-shoot", and they all performed sub-par in my opinion.
By image quality i guess that you are talking about the image color and noise at different iso. Yes, Canon and Nikon will give you accurate color almost all of the time. The Lumix LX7, on the other hand, is reputed on its f/1.4 lens -- so you can use lower ISO than other comparable camera. so it's quite flexible given its small size. nex is a great mix of the 2 worlds (small size + image quality). i would use it for street photography or for travel (my travel gear is a Panasonic Lumix GH1 with an old Leica 50 f/2, Nikon 105 f/2.5, and the cheap kit lens)
I have noticed several threads with pretty rude comments on SD in the last few days. I have been busy with other things and havent been frequenting SD forums for a while. In the past, I was amazed at how polite people were to each other, on huge site. I believe the level of civility has dropped on this site, in the past several years. That is unfortunate.
I'm not trying to single you out in this post, but I honestly had to look up GTFOOH. Not good.....If you own the LX7, you could easily post a more beneficial post.
Im camera dumb. I recently bought the S100 and I may consider trading for the LX7 at this price. The more compact size may be the factor that makes me stay with the S100, but Im eager to read more opinions on this camera.
ZS6 [amazon.com] has a street price of $350. This Panasonic LX7 [amazon.com] has a street price of $350. Are you comparing features or price points when discussing "low end" cameras?
Perhaps the LX7 is a good camera, but after reading dozens upon dozens of recommendations from SDers for the ZS and SZ line from Panasonic, I've learned not to trust their judgement. I won't be giving the LX7 a shot, but I figured it's my time to chime in and give useless camera advice
The bokeh of the background and sharpness of the focus area in this lens is STUNNING. even at f 1.4, and at all focal lengths. The color reproduction is amazing. The manual controls are all present and accounted for.
This is a P & S for those who know how to use a camera. Period.
the zs line is a travel zoom line, which almost by definition will have smaller sensors and therefore less picture to work with. additionally, its hard to stabilize at 1500 equivalent focal length any way you want to slice it

on November 4, 2012 - 12:01 AM
WILSON – We made another trip to the lakeshore recently in our time machine, all the way back to the days of nickel stamps, quarter gas and friendly neighbors.
I really didn't expect Aunt Bea at the griddle or Thelma Lou wearing the server's apron when we entered Nelson Hollow Restaurant, but it did have a kind of throwback feel to it. What clinched it, however, was the relaxed atmosphere and pace we encountered, reminiscent of a trip earlier this summer to another nearby restaurant.
That pit stop turned into a virtual all-nighter when it took us almost two hours to get our dinner. Little did we know that was considered "fast food" in this neck of the woods.
Nelson Hollow, it turned out, offered more of the same: meals in a Mayberry mindset.
The food was good, for the most part, but for all we know it could have been delivered via Pony Express. Instead of listing prices on the menu, they could have specified expiration dates.
And we're not talking about full-course meals here, either. We're talking sandwiches, soups and salads – the kind of stuff you can throw together in five minutes in your own kitchen.
All of which made me wonder, is it something in the breeze off the lake? Or did somebody break the button on the Wayback Machine and it got stuck in 1956?
To be fair, there were seven in our party when we invaded the little, nondescript restaurant at Roosevelt Beach early one Saturday evening. We were the only ones in the place at the time, prompting a query as to whether they were getting ready to close.
We were assured they would be open for another couple hours, so we plopped down at a big table and started perusing the menu. It literally screamed "Comfort food!," which made our selections all the more difficult.
Beer-battered, deep-fried hot dog or pulled pork sandwich? Homemade soup or loaded chili?
Sweet potato fries or mashed sweet taters? All tough calls.
While we debated the merits of those choices and more, a woman we took to be the owner came out and offered a complimentary sampler of several side dishes: mushroom soup, lima bean and ham soup, chili, chicken cacciatore, those thick, sweet fries and a dollop of macaroni and cheese.
Talk about hospitality! We were sufficiently impressed and ordered the "five-for-$5" appetizer, which also had several other interesting options for consumption. It turned out to be a popular starter.
We then launched an all-out assault on the menu, picking off selections like shooting fish in a barrel: the pulled pork ($6.99), the roast beef ($7.25), souvlaki salad ($6.99), the Killer Miller (that battered hot dog – $6.49), a Hollow tender sandwich ($6.49), a Reuben, a Patti Mae melt and more.
The five-for-$5 we chose included onion rings, mac and cheese, and the mashed sweet potatoes. The onion rings were the size of fried cakes (plain donuts to you city folk). Huge, hot and greasy, just the way rings should be.
The mac and cheese wasn't overly gooey but had a good flavor. Everyone loved the mashed sweets and the fried sweets, which were so thick that a few made it through on the chewy side.
The main problem was that the food came out piecemeal, which left some of us eating and others wondering whether their meals had absconded. We saw sandwiches sitting on the counter for several minutes, which were then delivered cold.
A good hot sandwich needs to be consumed while hot; however, the pulled pork and the roast beef weren't, which resulted in demerits. In all, it took most of two hours to get and consume our entire meal, during which time several of us craved drink refills that were either slow in coming or nonexistent.
The consensus was a "3" (on a scale of 4) for food quality and a "1" for service, unfortunately.
The Reuben was quite good, the patty melt a little marginal, but the Killer Miller (a battered Sahlen's dog deep-fried and slathered with bacon, chili, cheddar and onion) was one of the highlights. Served on a thick, toasted bun, it was a bit on the dry side, despite all the accompaniments, but still tasty. It probably would have been fine offered up sans bun, but then where to put all that luscious chili, cheese and stuff?
Opinions varied on the Hollow tender sandwiches, which consisted of a skinless grilled chicken breast topped with red onion, lettuce, tomato and bacon mayo on a hard roll. One person ordered it with Montreal seasoning, the other Cajun; neither seemed to notice any presence of spice, however.
The mayo was applied lightly, leaving the sandwiches a bit on the dry side, but I thought they were still tasty enough. One daughter gave it thumbs up, the other thumbs down.
Other quick observations:
• The loaded chili came to the table unloaded, a problem which was quickly corrected once brought to the server's attention. Chili itself was on the mellow side, nothing adventurous. The soups, though, were thick, rich and yummy.
• The lengthy wait prompted us to take advantage of a pool table in the adjoining bar area, but none of the cue sticks had tips on them. Made for an interesting game. It was even more difficult to play darts, since there were no darts.
• The souvlaki salad had to be scratched for lack of lettuce … although there was lettuce on the chicken sandwiches. Go figure.
Another fairly large group came in during our visit, and the sheer volume may have overwhelmed the few workers we saw. It did seem that they were willing to go out of their way to accommodate, although the results weren't always obvious.
I will say this: If it's a leisurely meal that you desire, fire up the Model T and by all means, head out to the lake. Mr. Peabody can drive. Taking a change of clothes is optional.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt is a step closer to returning from a major 2011 knee injury, with help from a follow-up operation on Wednesday.
Although Britt's rehab was set back a week or two with the cleanup procedure, his healing process should be helped, Sporting News correspondent Jim Wyatt reported for The Tennesseean of Nashville.
Britt blew out his right knee in Sept. 25's game against the Denver Broncos. Surgery a week later repaired both the ACL and MCL. He has spend months in rehab in preparation for the 2012 season.
Despite running well during recent Titans workouts, Britt's knee continued to swell, Wyatt reported. Because of that, doctors decided to do a follow-up.
— See all the Titans news, plus 2012 schedule and more
"It almost becomes commonplace," Titans GM Ruston Webster told The Tennessean. "It is not one of those things, 'Wow, oh no, he is having surgery.' It is very common and if it helps his rehab process and all that, it is well worth doing. And our goal is to have him play this year.
"It will be helpful to him, I think, and probably accelerate his rehab."
If Britt returns in time for the season as expected, the Titans will have a much stronger receiving corps for either veteran Matt Hasselbeck or developing second-year man Jake Locker, who are expected to stage a competition for starting quarterback.
Britt was the Titans' stud receiver before his injury, with 17 catches, 289 yards and three touchdowns. Through 31 career games, he has 101 catches for 1,765 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The Titans drafted Kendall Wright with the 20th overall pick. Having Britt to pair with him would give coaches time to work Wright into the mix.

Sixth Sunday of Lent
Lenten Lights is a series of devotional readings leading up to Easter. A brief introduction to the series can be read here.
Sixth Sunday of Lent (if reading weekly)
Thursday before Easter (if reading daily)
[Two candles lit before reading]
God made very sure that we could understand who he is, what he is like, and what he wants for us and what he wants from us. He did this by sending his Son, Jesus. Now we don't have just the written Word, we have the Living Word — a real person. When people watched Jesus, they were seeing God.
BUT even God himself, God in person, was rejected. People hated him and rejected his message from God.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
[Snuff the next candle. Do not light again until Easter.]
And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, saying, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles. And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him."
(Taken from John 3:16; Luke 2:6-7; Isaiah 53:3; Mark 10:32-34)

Three people were injured and traffic slowed to a crawl for more than an hour Tuesday when a one car collided with another and flipped over on southbound Interstate 5, CHP Officer Michelle Esposito said.
About 9:15 a.m., the driver of a Honda Civic lost control near the Balboa Boulevard exit in the Newhall Pass, Esposito said. The fishtailing Civic broadsided a Jeep Liberty and then overturned, she said.
The overturned Civic briefly trapped one of its occupants and the Liberty crashed into a retaining wall on the right side of the freeway.
The Civic's driver - Hasmik Toufenkchian, 56, of Canyon Country - and her passenger suffered moderate cuts to their heads and arms. Emergency crews took the two to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. The driver of the Liberty, Brenda Pierce, 41, of Agua Dulce, complained of pain and was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.
California Highway Patrol officers shut down two lanes of the Santa Clarita Valley artery for about an hour for the rescue and cleanup, causing heavy traffic that stretched from the site of the accident, at about the Balboa Boulevard exit, back over the Newhall Pass and almost to the Calgrove on-ramp, about five miles north.

Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of ABIOMED (NASDAQ: ABMD ) , a maker of medical devices for the cardiovascular system, jumped as much as 10% after the company reported better-than-expected preliminary revenue for the fourth-quarter.
So what: In its preliminary fourth-quarter report, ABIOMED is forecasting revenue of $43.7 million, which is noticeably higher than the $41.5 million Wall Street had been projecting for the quarter, and up 17% over the year-ago period. Driving its results was a 22% increase in Impella heart pump sales, which comprise 90% of ABIOMED's revenue stream. The release also notes that the Impella 2.5 was purchased by an additional 30 hospitals during the quarter, and 55 hospitals purchased its new Impella CP device.
Now what: With the Food and Drug Administration off ABIOMED's back, the long-term visibility of its Impella line of heart products is a lot easier to understand. ABIOMED is nowhere near inexpensive at 38 times forward earnings; however, if it can continue to pace its growth around 20% -- and that would entail the introduction of new Impella products every few years -- then I could definitely see some modest upside to its share price, even here.
Craving more input? Start by adding ABIOMED to your free and personalized watchlist so you can keep up on the latest news with the company.
While you can certainly make huge gains in device makers like ABIOMED, the best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Viewpoint: Housing market's welcome boost
Published 03/09/2008
There is no doubt that Northern Ireland's property market has plunged into a recession in the last year.
The authoritative University of Ulster house prices survey published just last month showed that sales in the second quarter of the year were down 50% on the same period a year earlier. Most property types, apartments aside, showed significant drops in value. In areas like the North West, Craigavon/Armagh and Fermanagh/South Tyrone, home owners saw 20% and more wiped off the value of their properties.
Exactly a year earlier the same survey was reporting that house prices had increased by 50% in the preceding 12 months. For a number of years the property market had experienced growth, fuelled by speculators and a heady feeling of optimism, which was unsustainable in the long term. The global credit crunch accelerated the slump when it came. Lack of confidence, a shortage of mortgages and the desire by many to see just how far the market would retrench led to the current situation.
Estate agents and developers, two groups of people not known for their generosity, suddenly had to be very inventive in a bid to stimulate sales. One developer slashed prices of new semi-detached and detached homes by £90,000 and £110,000 respectively and saw the properties snapped up. Whatever the economic conditions people still recognise a bargain.
Now there are two new initiatives which may be the catalyst for recovery in the property market. The Chancellor's decision to waive stamp duty for a year on properties costing £175,000 or less – and increase of £50,000 on the stamp duty threshold – has
had an immediate effect on the local market with estate agents reducing the price of some properties to take advantage of the new measure. A saving of £1,750, especially for first time buyers, is a powerful incentive to purchase.
Another positive measure is the decision by the Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie, along with two housing associations, a building firm and Barclays Bank to launch a reworking of the co-ownership housing scheme which allows buyers to purchase half the property initially and buy the rest when it becomes affordable. This, given the de
pressed state of the market, will make property owning viable even for those with relatively modest incomes and the partners in this initiative deserve credit for their invention.
The bottom line at the moment is that it is still a buyers' market and that purchasers are seeking the best possible value for their money. However, the feeling is that the market may have bottomed out and that the only way is up.
Certainly, the initiatives taken by individual developers and estate agents, coupled with the raising of the stamp duty threshold and the new co-ownership scheme, should breathe more confidence into the market. There is even a suggestion that investors are being tempted back in because of the low prices. The construction sector is vitally important to the local economy and renewed vigour in the housing market would be keenly welcomed by house builders. But growth in the market, when it comes, is likely to be at much more realistic levels than was seen up until a year ago.

Hey this is the video i been waiting for and that i told you all i needed to get this is me proper sparring musab.
Musab is 66KG and im 57kg hes younger then me but has been boxing 3 years more then me.
Hes a brawler and im the boxer i dont think im a puncher yet but i do have a bit of power when i spar people my wieght which isnt much lol im always against bigger guys.
I had to go easy on my power against musab and i let him out the corner alot to give him time to regroup since its only sparring.
I think hes a good fighter but i think hes a better boxer and his dad use to be a pro boxer so maybe he influences musabs style.
Anyways heres the vids advice/critism appreciated go nuts

Good stuff, sterling. Entertaining to watch unlike some of the other vids on boxingscene.
Some good things I saw:
1) You weren't afraid to go forward, and throw some punches
2) You parried some of his shots well (something I gotta learn to do)
3) Your head movement isn't bad
4) Some of the hooks to the body sounded like the real deal. I can't really judge technique, but they didn't look too sloppy (especially in part 2)
Something I would improve:
1) Your rights seemed pretty wild at times (like you were reaching over too much)
Didn't find too much else wrong...Thanks for posting man.

Stop throwing that lead right hand to the body from so far out. You are just begging for a half step back, right uppercut to the jaw when you lean in like that.
You work the body well on the inside, but for **** sake, NEVER, and I mean NEVER, lead with a body shot.
There are exceptions where you can lead with a body shot when a person is off balance, or if you set them up with a feint, but never just lunge in like that.
You do the same thing with some of your overhand rights. The way you lunge in is just asking for a counter uppercut.
Stop pulling down your left hand when you are going to throw a right hand, not only are you leaving yourself open to those uppercuts, but you are blatantly telegraphing your intention to throw a right hand.
You need to learn to cover up properly because the way you are holding your gloves is going to make it very easy for someone to punch through your gloves and split your guard.

It would help if you said which one ya were.
But the guy in all grey his hands were way too low.
His chin was miles up in the air.
Slow feet.
Waited to get hit.
Headhunts too much.
Other guy in blue.
Footwork was off balance and always jumping.
His body shots were no offence to the kid terible. Well off balance, wide, slow and predictable.

I dont like your lead right body shot, you lean way too much and lose lots of power. Plus you are gonna get countered and floored coming in so quick. You look good out their bro. I would also work on more str8t rights as opposed to those looping overhand rights all the time. As the taller guy especially, just 1, 2 him with some str8t right hands.

Watched each clip twice, it was much better the second time around.
Pretty good spar, both seemed to get some good work in.
I really like the fact that the coach is directly supervising and getting you guys to stop when there's stuff to correct.
I noticed the crosses people are giving you a hard time about.
If you come back with the hook afterwards, leading with the cross to the body's not that bad. Just make sure you're not leaving yourself in bad position after goin to the body.
You were getting kinda off balance in a lot of your shots.
You switched stances mid flurry, which is a sign of loss of control.
Most importantly, I think you need work on distance; being patient and not throwing until you're in range. It's something I need to work on as well.
Just noticed that you already pointed out some of the stuff I mentioned, o well.
Keep it up!

Thought #26
Attention, Bus Riders!
Hola, CCBC peeps! Here's a message from our campus Dean Tonja Ringgold at the Catonsville campus:
As many of you may know, for years, actually since 2002, CCBC Catonsville students have had challenges with the Maryland Transit Administration bus line # 77 bus which services CCBC Catonsville. We have heard many student complaints ranging from buses being late to being passed by at the bus stop. There have been numerous town hall meetings, public forums, phone calls, and emails from the Student Government Association and Administration at CCBC. Just last year, the CCBC Catonsville SGA personally handed MTA officials over 400 petitions from students displeased with their service. The promises from MTA have been to improve their service and eventually create a new bus line that will shorten the long #77 bus line.
Well, the time is now upon us. Thanks the constant efforts of our CCBC students, the MTA has made good on their promise to create a new bus line. On July 5m 2011 the #99 will start running from Old Court, stopping at Randallstown, Milford Mill, Woodlawn, and then Security Mall. After Security, it will jump onto 695 where the next stops will be Catonsville High School, CCBC, UMBC, BWI, and finally the Business District. After that it will turn around and repeat the trip reversed.
This new #99 bus route will decrease the transport to CCBC Catonsville by 20-30 minutes, thereby improving the school experience and ultimately supporting the Completion Agenda. Attached is a copy of the new #99 Bus Line. Kudos to our students and CCBC future leaders! Job well done!!
MTA Website Description of New Route:
New Route No. 99 Old Court Metro Subway Station – BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport
New service, for morning and evening peak periods only, would provide the No. 77 riders more time to connect to their destinations at CCBC and along Old Court, Rolling, and Liberty Roads.
Extended service to BWI Airport would enhance connections to Light Rail, MTA's new ICC Route No. 201, Howard County's Silver Route, and WMATA's B30 line.
New service would operate between Old Court Metro Subway Station and BWI Airport (and Business District) via the existing No. 77 route to Rolling and Windsor Mill Roads, then south on Rolling Road, east on Security Boulevard to southbound Interstate 695, then west on Edmondson Avenue, south on Ingleside Avenue, south on Bloomsbury Avenue and Rolling Road, then through the CCBC Campus, south on Rolling Road, east on Wilkens Avenue, south on Walker Avenue, around Hilltop Circle (clockwise), south on UMBC Boulevard to southbound Interstate 195 to BWI Concourse stops , then north on Elm Road and east on Elkridge Landing Road to make the loop at the BWI Business District Light Rail Stop.
The northbound service would travel the same route in reverse
WooOoOT?! What do you guys think? Share your comments below!
Adios, Smallville!
A show that I have watching for ten years now ends tonight. I asked my mom, "What will I do now?!" She simply replies, "Watch another one." I said, "Mom, it's not so simple…"
This was the first show I watched completely in English with no Spanish subtitles. I feel like Smallville did back then what books do for me now: help me fill my vocabulary and idioms cabinet, things that are usually self taught when one learns a new language. Some great lessons were also taught by the characters such as Martha Kent, Jonathan Kent, Chloe Sullivan, and Clark himself.
I'll miss it! Man! I'll miss it. But my birthday's coming up, so you'll know what to get me.
