BSC Associate Degree Nursing Students Participate in WVNA "Unity Day" at State Capitol
CreatedMonday, February 27 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—Seventy Bluefield State College Associate Degree Nursing students and several nursing faculty members attended the West Virginia Nurses Association's "Unity Day" at the State Capitol in Charleston in mid-February.
"Unity Day provides an opportunity to show our second-year nursing students the political influence they can have by promoting the work within their profession," observed Sandra Wynn, Director of the BSC Associate Nursing program. "Nursing is one of the most trusted professions in the nation, and policymakers rely upon nurses for their expertise when establishing policies that impact the health of their constituents. Our goal is for students to remain politically active for their entire careers."
The BSC students attended lectures on the Health Care Reform Act and on state and federal legislative processes. They also witnessed a national nursing agenda speech by Janelt Haebler, MSN, RN, Associate Director/State Government Affairs, American Nurses Association. State Senator Mark Wills recognized the BSC Nursing students during his remarks on the Senate floor at the start of the day's regular legislative session. In the students' meetings with state elected officials, they stressed that one in 43 West Virginians is a nurse.
Poster presenters were selected from each campus to promote the "Nurse's Role in Health Promotion and Prevention."
"A highlight of the day occurred when the 942 nurses in attendance, all of whom were wearing their white coats, marched from the Cultural Center to the Rotunda in a show of unity," Wynn continued. "The line spanned more than a block in length."

- Abstract
- We address for the first time the measurement of nonradiative decay rates in Cr-related centers in nanodiamonds. Compared to our previous quantum efficiency measurement of Cr centers created in bulk diamond, separate measurements of radiative and nonradiative decay rates in grown nanodiamonds prove more challenging due to size dependence effects. We demonstrate in this Letter that, using defocused dipole imaging and collection efficiency calculation via finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), a quantum efficiency up to 0.9 can be inferred to Cr-related centers showing a 2-level system photon statistics.

Mother of all fundraisers' passes $250,000 milestoneBy Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | May 19,2014Kevin OConnor / Staff Photo
Shirley Squires is interviewed by WTSA radio reporter Tim Johnson at the AIDS Project of Southern Vermonts 27th annual Walk for Life.BRATTLEBORO Guilford resident Shirley Squires may stand only 5 feet, but she can report plenty of tall numbers.
Take her age: 83. And current count of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren shes matriarch for: 55. And amount of money she has raised the past two decades for the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont: $250,000.
I like the sound of quarter of a million better, Squires said this weekend.
So, apparently, did the hundreds of Vermonters who helped her reach that milestone at this towns 27th annual Walk for Life.
On many of my checks I got notes saying, I hope you reach your quarter-million, Squires said. I had no vision of something like this when I started.
Squires joined the annual spring march shortly after the 1993 death of her 41-year-old son, Rep. Ronald Squires, D-Guilford, the first Vermont legislator to announce his homosexuality he did so to help pass an anti-discrimination law and the first state public figure to lose his life to AIDS.
Soliciting 800 family members, friends and organizations statewide, Squires has gone from collecting $1,000 in her first walk to culling $12,000 on her 10th anniversary and $19,500 on her 20th.
Squires annually aims to raise a dollar more than she did the year before. During her 22nd walk Saturday, she not only raised a record $22,000 two-thirds of the entire events $30,000 take but also reached her $250,000 lifetime total.
I get so excited when the money comes in, youd think it was mine.
Instead, it benefits the AIDS Project, a Brattleboro-based nonprofit whose annual budget of a little more than $400,000 pays for community prevention efforts and individual support for 70 clients in Bennington and Windham counties.
Vermonts three AIDS service organizations are trying to balance steady caseloads about 600 people statewide are living with the human immunodeficiency virus that causes the disease as the federal government shifts its financial assistance from smaller towns to bigger cities.
The AIDS Project has a quarter of a million reasons to appreciate its top fundraiser. But when supporters call for more volunteers like her, executive director Karen Peterson has a singular response: Theres only one Shirley Squires.

Dealer Information
Over time, our industry and business have changed dramatically. In order to offer great Customer service and low prices, we must become increasingly efficient and focused. Therefore, on January 1, 2014, we are inviting all of our dealer Customers to become retail Customers.
While it may not sound like that is a positive change, it really is. As time has passed, the separation between dealer and retail pricing has narrowed to the point where the prices are predominantly the same. Dealer Customers are also excluded from taking advantage of promotional codes and the Free Shipping available on thousands of products. These restrictions are not in place for retail Customers, which frequently makes overall costs for retail Customers lower than those for dealer Customers.
Many of our previous dealer Customers have already recognized the benefits of becoming retail Customers and have made the switch. We're confident you will be pleased with this change as well. The change to your account will be seamless to you on January 1, so there is no need for you to take any action. You will no longer need to update your FFL on file, and if you are tax exempt, we will continue to honor that status.
Please know that everything we do is intended to be in the very best interest of our Customers, and that we really appreciate your business.

I was first diagnosed with thrush by an LC back in September when DS was 2 months old. It was causing itchy, red nipples, white blebs on my nipples and backed up milk ducts. First, it was the left breast. Then, the right breast got affected as well. We tried Lotrimin for a while - didn't work. Then we went to gentian violet. Also didn't work. Then I got mastitis from a particularly nasty plugged duct. After that, my OB prescribed an antibiotic and Diflucan.
The LC also had me start taking vitamin C and omega-3 supplements, as well as probiotics. We have held off on the lecithin because we thought DS might be sensitive to soy.
We thought it went away, but we didn't treat DS, so a month later, we had thrush again. We had to do the Diflucan treatment again, this time with DS on Nystatin.
After that, I continued to get plugged ducts (sometimes related, sometimes unrelated to the blebs that I still had) on average once a week on either breast. By then, I knew the drill - warm compresses, saline soaks, massage, using a washcloth to rub the bleb, ibuprofen for the inflammation. But sometimes the bleb was lodged so deep into the nipple skin that I couldn't break it open and I just had to wait until that particular milk duct was so full that it would "burst" it open.
Christmastime at the ILs was pretty stressful and by the time we returned home, I had thrush again. And frequent plugged ducts. At least this time, it is only my right breast. My left breast seems fine. I visited both the LC and my OB again. I'm taking antibiotics and Diflucan again. But there is one bleb that is lodged deep into the nipple tissue that refuses to become dislodged. Sometimes it will open up just a little bit and eke out a teeny tiny stream of milk and then it will close up again and the milk starts to back up. I do warm compresses and soaks even after it opens up to try to prevent this, but I am so sick and tired of it all! God forbid I decide I'd like to go one day without a compress sticking out of my bra - bam! I'm plugged up again.
DS is six months now and had a little bit of formula when he was around 2 months, but refused it after that. He won't even drink frozen BM - not that I have a stash or anything. And I don't want to wean yet. The thought of it makes me sad, but I just can't keep doing this.
How the heck do I get this plugged duct to open up for good? I feel like I've done everything in the book. Somewhere, there must be a doctor or an LC with the exact answer, and I just am grasping at all the temporary solutions!

Many pharmaceuticals were originally derived from plants, including:
In addition, about 25 percent of all pharmaceutical drugs still include some plant-derived constituents.
So it is not surprising that botanical medicines often work in the body in ways that are similar to pharmaceutical drugs.
Like pharmaceutical drugs, botanical medicines adhere to principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. These are the scientific words for the study of how drugs interact with bodily systems.
So, as with pharmaceuticals, scientists study how the active components in a particular botanical is absorbed, distributed, and metabolized in the body and then excreted. They also study the pharmacological activity-the effect the botanical has in the body. All this helps scientists understand the mechanism of action-where the drug goes in the body, what it does, and how that impacts the individual's health.
Like many pharmaceutical drugs, there are botanical medicines for which the mechanism of action is unknown.
Here is an example of a botanical with a known or postulated mechanism of action:
Many botanicals are comprised of multiple active ingredients that act together (synergistically) to produce a response (Williamson, 2001). Thus, there may not be one active ingredient that accounts for all the observed effects.
This concept of synergy underlines much of the modern clinical use of botanical medicines, and there is an increasing body of evidence in support of its validity.
While botanicals are like pharmaceuticals in many ways, there are important differences.
|Botanical Medicines
|Pharmaceutical Drugs
|Wide margin of safety
|Narrow margin of safety and greater potential for adverse effects with overuse
|Active ingredients are diluted
|Active ingredients are highly purified (potency is greater)
|Dozens to hundreds of related compounds (also contain non-active ingredients)
|Usually a single active chemical or a well-defined mixture of active chemicals
|Often have a synergistic action
|Usually a well-defined, specific activity

More links and stuff
People.  I missed the Mayor's State of the City address on Monday – busy week, you know – but I knew from Kerry at the I Love Memphis blog that there was a highlight video from the speech.  So I finally got around to watching it last week and HOLY CRAP I'm totally in the video.  The video was shot last week – you might remember me mentioning it on the Biking in Memphis facebook page or in my twitter feed.  Good thing I did mention, because the only other cyclist who showed up besides Kyle and me was Ty from the awesome Living Loud in Midtown.  The videographer shot footage of the three of us riding in the bike lanes on Madison, then a long profile shot of me riding.  I have never liked my nose, but I approve of the video.
A combination bike shop and coffee shop? Â Yes, please!
Also, my friend Aaron sent me a link to the 2012 Report on Biking and Walking from the Alliance for Biking and Walking. Â I haven't had a chance to read it, but it looks really interesting.
Star Wars biking shirts? Â Yes, please! Â (h/t Kyle)
My friend Adrian sent me this link about an Atlanta cycling advocate getting hit by a car while riding. Â He's OK, but the article does mention that three-feet laws are not always enough to make roads safe for cyclists. Â We also need to educate the people.
Finally, I've been meaning to post this map of a commute ride from almost two weeks ago.
It was a good ride. Â I biked north from home to Central Animal Hospital to drop off some pet-related stuff – you don't want to know – then through Tiger Lane, the Beltline community, and finally to campus. Â Then I biked home. Â I've been meaning to post this for a while, but it's been busy up in here.
OK, be safe and stay dry – it's raining in my corner of Memphis. Â See you soon.

Friday Fences - New England Practical
This fence was in a New England garden--in either Massachusetts or Connecticut. I took this photo on a late 1990s garden tour of the area, going all the way up into Vermont as well. We also saw White Flower Farm and Logee's Greenhouse, both well-known for catalog sales of plants for the serious gardener. This particular garden featured a series of fenced garden "rooms". I call this one New England practical for the bushel basket hanging on the fence ready to hold garden tools or clippings.
For more Friday Fences check out Life According to Jan and Jer to see who our host Janis has on the list of players.

very nice. i love White Flower Farm although I have never been there even though my sister lives in Conn. Thank you for your compliments on my blog and to be honest I cannot remember what the house behind the fence looked like.

Ground conditions prime for winter activities
Sturgeon spearing season opened Saturday
As the East Coast deals with a massive snowstorm, Wisconsinites who embrace winter sports are grateful for just enough snow to enjoy the outdoors.
State tourism officials said many areas of the state have good or excellent conditions for skiing, sledding, snowboarding, and snowmobiling. The recent snowfall this week added inches to trails and sledding hills.
The Department of Natural Resources said snowmobile trails are groomed and in good to excellent condition across northern counties and through much of central Wisconsin. Trails are good to poor father south.
The big event of the week is the opening of the 2013 sturgeon spearing season which opened Saturday morning on Lake Winnebago, Lake Butte des Morts, and Lake Poygan. The season runs for 16 days, or until harvest caps are reached.

The National Cyber Security Alliance announced it was kicking off National Cyber Security Awareness Month on Monday, the same day the White House acknowledged an attempt to infiltrate its computer system.
National Cyber Security Awareness Month is a coordinated national effort focusing on the need for improved online safety and security.
According to the Associated Press, a White House official said the attack targeted an unclassified network. He said the attack was identified and that the system was isolated to prevent spread. He said there was no indication that any data was removed.
The official, who was not authorized to speak on the record about the attack, said there was no attempted breach of classified systems. The official described such "spear phishing" attacks as "not infrequent."
Last year, Google Inc. blamed computer hackers in China for a phishing effort against Gmail accounts of several hundred people, including senior U.S. government officials and military personnel.
The White House would not say whether the recent attack was linked to China.
NCSA has partnered with McAfee on a new survey to examine Americans' online safety posture and the findings reveal a substantial disconnect between their respective online security perceptions and their actual practices while on the Internet.
According to the survey:
• Fifty-nine percent of Americans say their job is dependent on a safe and secure Internet and 78 percent say losing Internet access for 48 consecutive hours would be disruptive with 33 percent saying it would be extremely disruptive. Ninety-percent say they do not feel completely safe from viruses, malware and hackers while on the Internet.
• Twenty-six percent received notification by a business, online service provider or organization that their personally identifiable information (e.g. password, credit card number, email address, etc.) was lost or compromised because of a data breach.
"The Internet is central to our daily lives and our economy and this new survey shows that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe keeping this system safe and secure is vital," said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance. "The Internet is a shared resource for so many of our daily activities which is why protecting it is a shared responsibility.
"The threat to the safety of Americans online is growing every day and as the survey shows the fear of Americans has also grown to 90 percent," said Gary Davis, vice president of global consumer marketing at McAfee. "It is our responsibility to make sure that consumers are aware of these growing threats so they can be best prepared to defend themselves against these hidden criminals."
The survey of 1,000 adult Internet users found disparities between online safety perceptions and actual practices in important areas such as smartphone security and password protection measures. Key findings show:
• Smartphone Internet use continues to grow, yet security protections lag. Nearly half of Americans (49 percent) use their smartphones to access the Internet, which is a 6 percent increase from the 2011 NCSA/McAfee Online Safety Survey that found 44 percent of adults accessed the Internet using a smartphone. Sixty-four percent feel their smartphones are safe from hackers yet – pointing to a strong disconnect – nearly the same amount (58 percent) of current smartphone users have never backed up their devices by storing the information or data elsewhere. Sixty-four percent say they have never installed security software or apps to protect against viruses or malware.
• Parents are most worried about children discovering adult sexual content/pornography (39 percent) followed by having contact with strangers when they are online (27 percent). Ten percent are worried about bullying or harassment from peers. Additionally, as youth identity theft is growing as an issue, nine percent of parents are concerned about their children's identity being put at risk.
• Sixty-one percent of Americans feel safest accessing the Internet using a laptop or desktop with 9 percent feeling safest using a smartphone and 3 percent using a tablet. (22 percent have only ever accessed the Internet using a desktop/laptop.) Many Americans think that connecting to an unsecured wireless network puts them most at risk to cybercrime or loss of personal information (30 percent), followed by not having any or enough security software (22 percent).
• Twenty-three percent say they changed the password on a major online account without being prompted to do so by the service provider in the past six months (23 percent) and 14 percent in the last year, 13 percent in last week, and 23 percent in the past month. Seventeen percent have never changed their passwords. Forty-nine percent of social media users say they changed their passwords once or more this past year, with six percent changing passwords weekly. At the same time, 42 percent have never changed their social media passwords. Sixty-one percent of respondents changed their online banking account passwords at least once a year while 28 percent have never changed their passwords.
JZ Analytics conducted the online safety survey. The survey firm, founded by John Zogby, surveyed 1,000 adults nationwide from August 31, 2012 to September 3, 2012. The margin of error is +/- 3.2 percentage points and margins of error are higher in sub-groups. The full study and a fact sheet are available at: http://www.staysafeonline.org/stay-safe-online/resources/.

Three Marines were killed instantly, and the fourth was seriously wounded but the gunman escaped. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reports.
Updated at 12:35 p.m. ET: KABUL, Afghanistan -- A man wearing an Afghan army uniform shot and killed three American Marines, the U.S. military command said Friday. Afghan officials said the victims were American special operations forces troops.
Reuters reported that an Afghan police commander opened fire on the service members after inviting them to a meeting to discuss security. A U.S. military official confirmed the three deaths and said another service member had been injured during the incident.
NBC News' Jim Miklaszewski reported that a "lone gunman" remained on the loose and was being hunted. U.S. military officials said all of the American victims were Marines.
Citing Afghan officials, Reuters said the American special operations forces members were killed late Thursday while attending a meeting in the Sarwan Qala area, in what appeared to be a planned attack by rogue Afghan forces.
"The commander was Afghan National Police in charge of local police in Sangin," a senior Afghan official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Sangin is a district of Helmand province.
"It looks like he had drawn up a plan to kill them previously," the official added.
A military official told NBC News' Courtney Kube that it was unclear whether the gunman was a member of the Afghan security forces or whether he was just wearing a uniform.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone that the attacker, whom he identified as a member of Helmand police named Asadullah, had been helping U.S. forces train Afghan local police troops. However, the Taliban has made false claims about the details of attacks in the past.
A U.S. military official says three American service members were killed and one was wounded after a gunman opened fire on them. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
The attack is the third killing this week of coalition soldiers by Afghans who are training to take over responsibility for security once most international forces leave in 2014.
So-called "green on blue" shootings, in which Afghan police or soldiers turn their guns on their Western mentors, have seriously eroded trust between the allies.
According to NATO, there have been 24 such attacks on foreign troops since January in which 28 people have been killed. Last year, there were 21 attacks in which 35 people were killed.
Senior Army leader slain
Earlier, the Pentagon confirmed that three U.S. service members -- including a senior Army leader -- and an American aid worker were killed Wednesday by a suicide bomber in Kunar province.
The victims included Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin, the most senior enlisted soldier for the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. Griffin, 45, of Riverton, Wyo., was a Bronze Star recipient who first enlisted in the Army in 1988.
Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy, 35, of West Point, N.Y., and Air Force Maj. Walter D. Gray, 38, of Conyers, Ga., were also killed. USAID foreign service officer Ragaei Abdelfattah was identified as the other victim.
On Tuesday, two gunmen wearing Afghan army uniforms killed a U.S. soldier and wounded two others in Paktia province in the east.
And on Thursday, two Afghan soldiers tried to gun down a group of NATO troops outside a military base in eastern Afghanistan. No international forces were killed, but one of the attackers was killed as NATO forces shot back.
NBC News' Courtney Kube, Jim Miklaszewski and Atia Abawi, The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Defining Vermont's foodshedMarch 31,2014Throughout the planning process developing Vermonts Farm to Plate Strategic Plan, we heard many definitions about what the geographic boundaries of local food means to different people. Early localvores often used a 30, 50 or 100 mile radius, while others believe local to be a broader, more regional concept. Labeling food as local is important to consumers as well as producers, processors, distributors, and retailers along the value chain.
The Farm to Plate Strategic Plan aligns with the State of Vermonts definition of local: food that is produced or processed within a 30 mile radius of any given locale. So when you take the perspective of the state as a whole, this means that local is Vermont+30 miles; which includes any place in New York, southern Quebec, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts that is within 30 miles of Vermonts border. Some have agreed with this definition and others have found it to be too broad or too narrow. We define regional to include the six New England States, plus New York and southern Quebec.
While we have adopted this geographic definition, the Farm to Plate Network continues to wrestle with the concept of exactly what gets counted. Everyone agrees that if its grown here, its local. But how about specialty foods: the salsa that uses Vermont grown tomatoes only in summer or the bakery that has only one product which uses local wheat? How about coffee and peanut butter products? When it comes to processed foods, it gets complicated. We want to support processing businesses adding value to Vermont grown foods, but we dont want to ignore the importance of local food manufacturers that may not be using local ingredients yet do create livable wage jobs here in the state.
Legislatively, Farm to Plate is about creating economic development opportunities and jobs in the farm and food sector, and increasing access of healthy, local food for all Vermonters. The plans 25 goals which we hope to reach by 2020, include: increasing farm viability, improving the environment, and reducing food insecurity. In order to reach some of these goals we will need to think broader, and more regionally.
Definitions aside, how do these questions play out in actual purchasing decisions? What do you do when you are standing in the grocery store, trying to make a decision about a particular food?
The Northeast Organic Farmers Association has championed a simple three tiered approach to local and regional food sourcing. When possible, buy foods in season as geographically close or ultra local to you as possible. When those are not available, source from other parts of the stateotherwise referred to as Vermont+30 mileswhat both the state of Vermont and Farm to Plate define as local. When its not available in Vermont, look to regional producers in other New England states, New York or southern Quebec.
The importance of supporting regional after local is especially relevant when trying to source food for institutional marketssuch as schools, hospitals, universities, senior meal sites and nursing homes. These markets are looking for greater volumes and a consistent supply of high quality food at lower price points. NOFA-VT works closely with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture to expand the institutional marketplace and is also engaged with leaders within the Farm to Plate Farm to Institution Task Force.
Being a localvore is very much about paying attention to where our food comes from and how its produced. Foodthe way it is grown, distributed, and consumedaffects our health, environment, and economy. Our food choices make a big impact. So if you can purchase foodwhether grown or processedfrom your community, Vermont, or the larger New England region rather than from California, Mexico, or China, please do!
Vermont Farm to Plate is the statewide initiative legislatively directed to increase economic development and jobs in Vermonts food and farm sector and improve access to healthy local food for all Vermonters. The Farm to Plate Strategic Plan is Vermonts 10 year plan to strengthen Vermonts food system and double local food production and consumption by 2020. Responsible for collectively implementing the strategies of the Plan, the Farm to Plate Network encompasses farms, food production businesses, specialty food producers, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, capital providers and government. The Food System Atlas is the searchable Vermont farm and food inventory website designed to strengthen Vermonts working landscape, includes all sections of the Farm to Plate Strategic Plan, and acts as the communication hub for the Farm to Plate Network.

text: I work full time, and pump at work. My DD eating habits at Daycare have always been a bit worrisome. On a good day, she'll only take in about 10-12oz, in addition to a nursing session during lunch. Last week, we took a vacation, and she was exclusively breastfed for about 9 days. Two days before I was scheduled to go back to work, I had my DH give her a bottle, with absolutely no success. The next day, our babysitter tried the same thing, and no luck. Apparently she isn't horribly fussy or anything while I'm gone, but both times I was only away for about 4 hours. I'm worried about how things will go once she's back in daycare, also, her regular provider will be on vacation, so she will also be with a different provider. She's 4 1/2 months old, and weighs 17lbs, and is 29 inches long, so obviously, she's not starving but I'm just wondering if there are any solutions.

By now, the announcement that I will retire as president of North Central College at the end of this year is "old news." But I am still getting used to my new status (as a lame duck!). When alumni and others congratulate me, I am not quite sure what to say. My wife's advice? "Just say thank you."
There is a temptation to use this column to repeat those words thousands and thousands of times. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I could go on and on. I have the best job in the world, and a lot for which to be grateful.
When things go well—and I think for most of the past 21 years, they have gone very well at North Central College—presidents get far too much of the credit. It takes a village, which is why there are so many to thank. The best place to start is to repeat what I told the search consultants who are working with the outstanding group of trustee, alumni, faculty, staff, student and community representatives on the Presidential Search Committee.
What made North Central College—and Naperville—such an attractive destination for Benna and me when I interviewed for the presidency in the fall of 1990 is what should make this position equally attractive to a wide pool of candidates in 2012. North Central has always been a good school, grounded in values and a deep commitment to its students, high standards, the liberal arts and excellence in teaching, in a location superior to most of the nation's great small colleges. My predecessor, Gael Swing, ran a tight fiscal ship, recruited capable colleagues and invested in a campus that was well-maintained. So the first big thank you goes to those who brought the institution to this point in its first 130 years!
Still, there were opportunities to be seized—to grow the College's small endowment by tapping into a loyal base of alumni, trustees and friends; to take better advantage of its location in recruiting undergraduates and top-notch faculty; to utilize fundraising to build 21st century facilities for the campus and community.
The College's next president will be confronted with a similar set of challenges and opportunities, inheriting a very good school with high standards; excellent students, faculty and staff; and a strong balance sheet; but also an institution whose endowment isn't where it needs to be, where new facilities—notably in the sciences—must be funded and built, and where academic program initiatives to serve 21st century student needs must be developed. In short, the best job in the world.
A great college is not just a place, or a moment in time, but a process, a dialogue between all who preceded, and those yet to come. Two of the figures to whom I owe the most—as does North Central College—are the Rev. George St. Angelo and Life Trustee Al Benedetti, whose lives are remembered in this Now. In their
later years, I was privileged to know both of these men whose vision did so much to shape the College of today. As Benna told George the last time she saw him before his death: "It is impossible to imagine the North Central College of the 21st century—and us being here—without you." Tolerance and civility, intellectual rigor, a commitment to social justice, generosity of spirit and openness to new ideas and to the lessons of the wider world—for that legacy and so much more, I thank you, George and Al, and all whose contributions over a century and a half are part of the DNA that continues to define the promise and unlimited potential of this special college as it moves forward into a new era.

Nearly 20K acres of sagebrush burned near Grand Coulee
Two wildfires, triggered by lightning strikes over the weekend, have burned thousands of acres of scrub brush in the Grand Coulee Dam area within the last 24 hours.
The Barker Canyon fire has burned 15,000 acres of grass and sage in Grant and Douglas counties near Grand Coulee. Three wildland strike teams comprised of 45 personnel manning 15 engines and a trio of water tenders are battling the fire.
The fire is at zero percent containment, and there are localized evacuation orders for up to 30 threatened homes in the fire's path, which is being fanned by wind gusts up to 25 miles an hour from west to southwest.
The firefighting effort at Leahy Junction is sharing both incident management as well as firefighting resources with the Barker Canyon Fire.
Monday afternoon Lettye Hall was about to cross the road block at Highway 174 in Grand Coulee. She planned to see the home she evacuated Sunday night and ensure her horses she moved are still alive.
"Pulled everything out that I could last night. My animals and vehicles. We're told that we're on our own responsibility wise and safety wise on the other side here because we're still at a Level 2," Hall said.
In town people are gathering supplies at local grocery stores while local evacuees are staying in area motels.
"A few customers, probably five or six, coming in last night and they needed to get a room because they needed to evacuate," motel manager Sam Hartney said.
Hartney said customers told him Sunday night they were told to get out of their homes and campsites and they eventually landed here. He expects customers Monday night.
"Probably have more customers coming in because they have to be evacuated. With the wind out there and the way it's blowing it looks like it's blowing more wind this way than it was yesterday," he said.
The Coulee Medical Center has not been evacuated, though hospital officials were told by firefighters Sunday night they were at Level 1, which meant they needed to be aware of the situation and have a plan to evacuate. So far no patients have been moved.
Level 1 evacuation noticed means that people need to have an evacuation plan. Level 2 means people need to be prepared to move as soon as possible. Level 3 means people need to evacuate as soon as possible.
Watching from her front yard in Grand Coulee, Clea Pryor can see smoke from what used to be fires Sunday night.
"The whole hillside there was flaming," she said.
Down her street the city hall had a close call as flames made it all the way into the building's backyard. So far the Barker Canyon Fire has burned close to 15,000 acres and put fire officials on close watch.
"They said it was an evacuation two warning, to get packed and if they came around again it would be like five minutes to leave," Pryor explained.
Several factors are working against firefighters in this area with one being the wind.
"The winds make this fire very dangerous. It makes it dangerous for the home owners and the firefighters out in the field," Douglas County Sheriff Harvey Gjesdal said.
Those wind gusts are driving the fire over rocks down canyons and toward homes.
"It is extremely rugged. The area on the plateau right behind us is a lot of canyons and valleys, very rocky, it's difficult for the firefighters to get to," Sheriff Gjesdal said.
Smoke can be seen billowing for miles causing rolling closures on Highway 174.
Pryor decided to leave home for a while as a precaution and she's glad the fire has stopped short of her doorway.
"It's kinda scary 'cause you don't know what to do. You can grab a few things but you can't unload your house," she said.

I try to lift about 3 times a week. Are there any benefits to taking protein on days I don't lift? Or should I just stick to taking it on lift days?

Stick to days you do lift for when you have protein shakes. You can have protien though such as eggs, fish, and meats. I would lift 5 days a week instead. I used to work chest and arms on the same day but it benefits more if I just do chest tuesday for 40 minutes, keep all the blood in that area and then do arms thrusday. So what I do is:
Monday: Back and Cardio
Tuesday: Arms
Wensday: Legs and Cardio
Thursday: Chest
Friday: Shoulders and Cardio
I hope this helps. If it is for weight gain just eat more food but make sure it is healthy not fat and snacky foods.
Monday: Back and Cardio
Tuesday: Arms
Wensday: Legs and Cardio
Thursday: Chest
Friday: Shoulders and Cardio
I hope this helps. If it is for weight gain just eat more food but make sure it is healthy not fat and snacky foods.

That does help, thanks. As for increasing calories to build muscle, would it again be necessary to eat a surplus on off days instead of just on lift days? Example of 2000 calories on non-lift and 2500 on lift days. I would like to increase muscle but keep fat gain to a minimum.
Posted 30 May 2012 - 08:21 PM
Protein is essential to muscle building. You can and should take a protein supplement every day. i suggest taking a protein shake first thing when you wake up. After sleeping all of those hours your body will be in a catabolic state and could really use that protein. At times i even wake up at 3 AM and down a shake so my body is not going that whole time without fuel, and then i go back to bed. Or you can take some cassien protein before bed which will release much slower than regular whey protein and will give your body protein all night. if your trying to bulk up and gain weight you need to eat big every day. at least 50g of protein after workout and then a large amount of carbs about 90 minutes after. Carbs will help increase the volume a muscle cell has and in turn expand your muscles. Hope this help and feel free to hit me up for any questions!

A New Jersey man was charged with animal cruelty after police said he drove down a street with his dog tied to his car.
Officer Michael Carlino spotted the 1-year-old Chihuahua mix, named Roxy, being dragged behind the Toyota in Middletown.
The driver, 49-year-old Keith Guastamacchia, was pulled over.
Guastamacchia claimed he let the dog outside the car to relieve herself while he finished a phone conversation with a friend.
The man said he "forgot" the dog was still tied outside the car when he drove off.
"The actions of the alert officer no doubt saved the dog's life," said Victor "Buddy" Amato, the Monmouth County SPCA's chief law enforcement officer.
Guastamacchia was arrested but has since been released with a summons to appear in court.
Roxy is being treated at a local animal hospital for her injuries.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(31)
A sharp-eyed reader on the The Battlefront Community forums has a hackworthy program that allows him to peep behind the scenes and see the lobbies for games that are currently running through GameSpy. Recently, those include listings for Star Wars Battlefront 3 on the PS3, PC, Wii, and PSP. Does this mean we're finally going to get official word that the game is on the way?
The third entry in the popular Star Wars Battlefront series has flirted with an actual announcement for nearly two years now. As long ago as 2008, the game was "accidentally" listed on Amazon with a March 2009 release date for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP. However, it was quickly yanked down. Then there was the artwork showing off an incredibly cool Sith version of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
That artwork was apparently from Free Radical Design, who was rumored to be working on the title. However, that came to an end when Free Radical had financial problems and shut down development. The game was rumored to have moved over to Pandemic, but they've also shuttered their doors. So what mystery developer is now working on the game?
Whoever it is, we're hoping there's a LucasArts announcement about the game at E3. It's been four years since Star Wars Battlefront 2 came out, and we've only had Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron to feed the addiction, so it's about time.

No love lost
United Teachers of Pasadena rescinds endorsement of Board of Ed candidate Ruben Hueso
By André Coleman , Kevin Uhrich 02/28/2013
United Teachers of Pasadena (UTP) has rescinded its endorsement of District 3 Board of Education candidate Ruben Hueso over questions regarding some of Hueso's other supporters.
"There were some issues with his endorsements and campaign team," UTP President Alvin Nash told the Weekly.
Without being specific, Nash said Hueso had provided conflicting information on different forms regarding endorsements from individuals and organizations. Hueso, Nash said, was informed of the union's impending action by phone message on Feb. 14 — Valentine's Day — and was given until Monday night to respond, but did not.
"Communication broke down and he stopped returning our calls," Nash said. "We gave him a deadline and he did not call back."
When reached by phone Thursday, Hueso told the Weekly he did not know UTP had withdrawn its support.
"They have my email, phone number and personal phone number," Hueso said. "I have not received anything from them. I need to call them. For an organization like this to make this decision, I would say the least they could do is contact me."
Nash said that when UTP officials contacted a number of people who Hueso said supported him, they were told that information was incorrect. He also said that the UTP board had problems with Hueso receiving endorsements from some unnamed school officials from outside the Pasadena Unified School District who were not aligned with pro-labor and pro-teacher groups.
Nash refused to divulge which endorsements were in question.
Nash acknowledged that the group has not been in contact with Hueso since the decision to pull the endorsement was made two weeks ago.
"We indicated to him that this would be a possibility and we would be willing to work with him, but we never heard anything," Nash said.
To get the endorsement of the 900-member UTP, Hueso was interviewed twice by the union's board of directors and notified by phone and email after the decision to support him was made.
Hueso, brother of former Democratic Assemblyman Ben Hueso of San Diego, is the top fundraiser in the race, declaring $6,175, including a $5,000 campaign contribution from former Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez, who is also from San Diego.
Hueso's opponents so far have not raised any declarable campaign funds.
Hueso, who has a daughter in public school and another daughter who recently graduated from Pasadena High School, is also s endorsed by Assemblyman Chris Holden, Honowitz, former Board of Education member Jackie Jacobs and Democrats of the Pasadena Foothills.
"We gave him a deadline and he did not call us back," Nash said.

If you were wondering where our 2006 first rounder Renaldo Balkman was, he's playing in the Philippines and went postal on a teammate. Always seemed like such a mellow dude when he played for the Knicks. How things might have been different if we drafted Rajon Rondo instead of RB.
Balkman is awesome. Gotta love that Puerto Rican temper
Sure both Collins and Balkman are playing in countries that do not even field and Olympic team every four years and Rondo is a top 5 PG in a league that is now run by PG play
But....has Rondo ever started a brawl like Collins? The best he did was getting into a pushing match with Humphries...Mardy started a good ol fashion riot on the floor type brawl
and at least people do not compare Collins to an alien!!!!!
who of the 2 awkwardly shooting PG's has the least ugly shot...that's right Collins!!!
LOL....Question of the day: what's better to have not drafted Rondo at all or watch Isiah eventually ship him in the Randolph deal next draft night (which he would've done!)?
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Props to new new York and skisloper for remembering trivia worthy of Stump the Schwab. Kiyaman would be proud.
What an idiot.
So, you're saying he's available?
That video makes a lot of sense!
Balkman was banned for life from playing in the Philippines.
now i know who is Metrocard he is banned man

Cordova 3
5020 Bayou Boulevard,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Recent comments (view all 6 comments)
It is closed and has been torn down for retail stores.
The Cordova 3 was opened as a twin in the mid 60's on the backside of Cordova Mall. It was owned and operated by Giddens & Rester Theatre Corp located out of Mobile, AL. Giddens & Rester was a family owned circuit with three theatres in Mobile and one location in Meridian, MS besides this theatre. It was built as a replacement for the Florida Theatre, which was then torn down. During its heyday it ran the better of the films and Roadshow attractions. Not sure if it ever had 70mm, but would not be surprised if it did. ABC Florida Theatres was its main completion with The Rex and Saenger Theatres operating downtown. As other theatre circuits moved into town, United Artists at University Mall (3 screen, then 6, then finally 11 screens) and AMC with Mariner Mall 4, ABC opened a twin and closed their downtown locations in the middle 70's. Giddens & Rester still remained the prime outlet for good films.
In the early 80's the smaller of the two screens was twined. G/R loved the presentation of the big screen and could not see it destroyed by twining. Giddens/Rester sold their theatre interests by the middle 80's to Litchfield Theatres located in the Carolinas which in turn sold to United Artists in the late 80's with the Justice Department not allowing the Cordova 3 to be acquired so it was sold to Regal Theatres. Regal also opened a four screen complex attached to the Cordova Mall in a newly constructed wing which was located across a parking lot from the Cordova 4.
Rave and Carmike built theatres in the Pensacola area and both Cordova Mall 3 and 4 were closed in the early 2000's. Cordova Mall 4 was reconfigured into retail space in the mall and the grand and glorious Cordova Mall 3 was destroyed and a small strip center is located in its place. Ironically Rave opened a theatre not far from the Cordova location in 2007.
The Cordova Twin has a lot of memories for a lot of people with some of the best films showing there. The front had a beautiful overhang where guests could be dropped off if the weather was bad. It had that general 60's suburban look with a low middle rising up on each end to give the screens some height. The seats were Irwin plush. And the outside was surrounded by palm trees.
As it stands today, The Rex and Saenger Theatres are still standing downtown with the Saenger as a performing arts center. The AMC Mariner Mall 4 is gone. The ABC twin was sold to Plitt Theatres, then to Cineplex-Odeon. It was torn down in the late 90's as a triple. The University Mall 11 is now operated by an independent as a sub-run house in 8 auditoriums with the other three operated by a church.
Thanks Allen.Love reading stories from Theatre people.
Would someone please put out more information on the Florida theatre downtown and which I attended many times in the late 50's-1966. Also I remember a great theatre just up Palafox not to far from the Hotel. It had a big screen, stereo and I believe 70mm. I saw many U.A. movies including the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Khartoum, and many other big movies, What was its name?
I was there opening night, 1972, I think it was. The opening night feature on one screen was "Living Free," the sequel to "Born Free." I wasn't old enough to drive yet, so my father was gracious enough to take me. The other film was likely rated R, which I why I ended up watching a stinker of a film like "Living Free." At least I can say I was there opening night. After I got old enough to get in R-rated movies, I saw "Woodstock" there at a midnight show. I didn't realize it was about three hours long, so it was about 3 AM or so when I got out.
I lived in Gulf Breeze 1995-1999 and saw some movies at the mall. I had completely forgotten there was two movie theaters there. The info and history is very interesting.
The only issue I see with the chronology is that Cordova Mall open in 1971… but the rest of the info is great.
I do remember the large overhang so you could be dropped off protected from inclement weather.

There's something magical that happens to us when we go car shopping.
We tend to put on our rose-colored glasses and try to pretend that bad things don't exist on these metal and plastic beauties. As we look over a sea of new cars, all we see is perfection: Beautiful, shiny, awesome-smelling perfection.
The thing is, we know better. We know that when you look at a potential new purchase, you should be looking for the bad stuff, but all we see is the shiny paint job and the freshly Armor All-ed wheels. No one expects the transmission to be bad work or the air bags to be filled with confetti.
When you get to a dealer's lot -- or even during a private sale -- there are some things you should do to ensure that you aren't getting stuck with a lemon.
No. 5: Check the car's past
The Internet is good for more than watching delightful cat videos and debating whether Kirk or Picard was the better Star Trek captain (it's Kirk, by the way). There are also services that allow you to enter the car's VIN number and get a detailed history of what the car has been through.
Has it ever been in an accident? Carfax.com can tell you. Did it have warranty work done? Check the Carfax report.
In addition to the report, ask to see maintenance records. Checking a Carfax report plus maintenance and service records gives you a good idea of any problems the car has had and how well it has been kept up on.
And at most car dealers, the Carfax report is free, but if you are considering a car from a private party or a dealer that doesn't offer this service, an online report costs about $35.
No. 4: Get a mechanic to look it over
I watch a lot of TV judge shows -- and not just because I love to see women get screwed over when they lend money to guys they've only known for a week. In all the hours I've watched, one thing has become resoundingly clear: If you buy a used car, hire a mechanic to check it out.
Spending $100 now can save you thousands in the long run. If the mechanic is able to spot a chronic problem, you will have dodged a bullet.
The problem most people have with this concept (and what keeps "People's Court" on the air) is that they worry that they'll have to expend more money in addition to the price of the car.
But it can be a negotiating point. Ask the car seller to pay for the mechanic, or take that fee off the sale price of the car. If they balk, you might want to reconsider the purchase.
No. 3: Ask questions
Don't be shy about asking into the car's history. Were repairs done? Any repeatedly? The thing with a used car sale (especially private sales) is that most of them are "as is" sales. That means that if you drive the car away and it breaks down 15 feet from the seller's door, you're still responsible for the car.
But that's not the case if the seller makes false claims about the car. That is, if you ask straight out if the engine is OK and he says, "There's never been any problems" but then later you discover that it's been spraying out oil, then that is a fraudulent statement.
But beyond covering yourself legally, asking a lot of questions just gives you a sense of the car, its history and lets you know if there may be any issues you need to be aware of.
No. 2: Was all recall work done?
Some cars get recalled for seemingly stupid reasons (the manual wasn't bound properly, the stereo dial only goes up to "9"), but many recalls do matter. They matter in a car-bursting-into-flames-when-it-goes-over-40 mph sort of way. Check to ensure that the car is current on all recall work, and if it isn't then find out why.
Technical service bulletins are another thing to check. Technical service bulletins are problems that have been reported, but haven't been problematic enough to issue a recall to correct en masse.

Wayne County Arts Alliance gets new board, launches gallery
October 30, 2013 —
HONESDALE, PA — Under the auspices of a new board of directors, The Wayne County Art Alliance (WCAA) has moved to a new space at the end of Maude Alley, located at 1023 Main Street. The space will be home to an art gallery and a small office. (For more on the gallery's grand opening, see p. 24.)
In June, WCAA seated a totally new 10-member board, and by October 1 had moved out of its previous location in the Torrey Building next to the Wayne County Historical Society. Former executive director Tamara Murray stepped down from her post.
According to board president Paul Ludick, the new board's priorities are to promote its members and facilitate their ability to support themselves as artists; to enhance the arts that already exist locally; and in the long run to bring more public art to the community.
"Right now we've also been brainstorming big time to see what we can do to work with different organizations and different people [in the community]… in different outlets and venues."
Another shift is that teaching artists will host classes in their studios rather than in more public classroom settings. "These teachers are passionate about their art and what they're teaching. So we're trying to get classes back into these artists' spaces so that the people who are taking those classes can become as passionate about their own work and about the artist's work, too."
The new board of directors at WCAA is comprised of members Paul Ludick, president; Ellen Silberlicht, first vice president; Ted Malakin, second vice president; Dave Harvey, treasurer; Mary Colgan, secretary; Cheryl Batcher; Yannis Glykokokalos; Joe Kluck; Gina Lenz; and Colette Ballew.

National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one
of the country's leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to
parents on a broad range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens.
There's a great feeling of satisfaction when you've cleaned your house top to bottom. Not only does it clean out the germs but it gives you a good work-out as well! Before you get down to business however keep some of these tips in mind:
Beware of glass cleaners
Mixing an ammonia-based product with chlorine bleach creates poisonous gas. What's more, the bright colors of some cleaners can be attractive to children: According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), glass cleaners accounted for 9,418 calls to poison-control centers during a recent year.
Carpet cleaners can be toxic
Carpet shampoos usually leave a sticky residue on carpet fibers that are usually hard to see or feel. Not only does the residue attract and latch onto dirt but children, who crawl and play on carpets, can inhale them or get them on their hands, which they then put into their mouths. Powders or dusts are easily inhaled and may irritate airways and cause asthma attacks. In fact, anti-dust-mite carpet treatments sometimes contain tannic acid or benzyl benzoate, both of which are skin, eye and respiratory irritants.
When you're done – store them safely
Once your cleaning's done, store all products in a locked cabinet in a room not accessible to the kids such as a garage or basement. It's easy for kids to mistake disinfecting wipes for baby wipes and use them on their face, eyes or other parts of their bodies. Keep these out of reach as well.
Consider safer alternatives
There are many products on the market that are "green" and non-toxic. Also consider some good, old fashioned cleaning solutions such as vinegar, lemon, baking soda, club soda and mineral oil.
Don't forget the medicine cabinet
When you're doing your spring cleaning don't forget the medicine cabinet. Check expiration dates on all medicines and toss if they're too old. Also get rid of any prescriptions that are half-done.
Check the toy box
Go through the kids' toy box and throw out any toys with missing or loose parts which could pose a choking hazard. If you think that a toy might have been recalled, visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission website – to check all recalled products.

Dear Listener: Lindsay Foxe is a successful model in New York - a woman who hides behind a new name to protect herself from a past of betrayal and treachery and a present that becomes fraught with danger. The product of old San Francisco wealth, the daughter of a man who despises her, her life is forever changed when she is brutally assaulted by her sister's husband, and then rejected by her family. Lindsay is finally forced to face up to her past when she meets S. C. Taylor, a tough ex-cop turned private investigator and computer troubleshooter. He is hired to protect her; but can he both win her trust and discover who is trying to kill her and why? Is it her family? A supposed friend or colleague? A faceless sicko, or perhaps a mad psychiatrist? Ah, it's a mystery to savor.
©1992 Catherine Coulter (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
57 Yrs Young, have been reading since age 5. Avg 3-5 books per week. Avid reader/listener, enjoy ALL genres & many writing styles.
"Amusing Story"
The story itself was pretty good, the writing was a bit crappy -- she needed to hang around with REAL cops or do more research to learn how to talk tough. Most of the police interaction wasn't even close to realistic but the story was amusing. Her leaping back & forward was ackwardly put, it wasn't clear exactly where you went for a paragraph or two. Expecially on the Taylor parts.
The narrators needed to be more balanced. Renee delivered her usual great performance - Paul was too lackluster and tended to make his portion drag.
"A Romantic Mystery!!"
Coulter does a great job of weaving mystery and romance into a story with a great plot and interesting characters that you love and detest.
I really enjoyed this story that begins with a terrible betrayal of trust and leads to violence, intrigue, romance, and vindication. Teenager Lindsay Foxe has every reason to give up after horrific treatment by her brother-in-law and receiving no support from her society family. Yet, she finds the will to become a successful young lady. The story leaves the reader wondering who continues to attack Lindsay as an adult and why they will not leave her alone. Detective Taylor provides Lindsay with the support and love that she never received from her family. Renee Raudman and Paul Costanzo provide excellent performances for each of the characters.
"Interminably Tedious....."
I am only half way through and don't know if I can - or even want - to finish this book. The only character in this book I can stomach is Taylor - he seems to be the only normal one in the bunch. Eden/Lindsey is a completely spineless wuss! While I could feel real sympathy for her at 16....by the time she hits her 20's, I am like, really?? Find your spine and tell that crazy moranic family to go jump off the Golden Gate bridge. Yikes, she is annoying....
The narrators were ok - I just don't usually care for 2 narrators doing a book, it seems disjointed and often pulls you out of the story when the voices change back and forth.
Anger at the sheer stupidity of the main character and lack of spine. Her family is supposed to be evil - but really came across as cartoon villains. And have mercy - way too long to get the story told. Just scene after scene of this spineless woman trying to grow a set and stand up for herself. Really tedious.
So - maybe I'll finish it - but probably not.
"Cruel and brutal in the beginning"
After four hours of this depressing tale I couldn't imagine a reason to go on. Cruelty, brutality and abuse fill the first four hours. If you are tender-hearted, I can not recommend it.
"AWESOME! Of Course Its Catherine Cojlter"
This book is SO GOOD that I was pissed off that it ended! The characters are so delicious and intersting! I loved this book! The narrators are spectacular! Catherine Coulter is again ALWAYS a good read and I just hate when the books end! Ms. Coulter's books are wonderfully engaging and just a joy to read/listen to.
"Excellent book"
It's so sad that this book is really close to the truth, men shouldn't be able to get away with raping a woman, and the rape victim should never be blamed. It's a frustrating world we live in when you see the guilty get away with a crime and someone innocent will go to jail because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I like their voices but Paul is very hard to hear at times, its very difficult to listen to this book because I have to turn the volume down a little for Renee's parts and then turn the volume all the way up for Paul and he's still hard to hear.
"Excellent story"
Very emotional - family dynamics and growth of the main character. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I've loved reading since I found 'Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase' in my Easter basket. I've been hooked on books ever since. I was 9.
"Revisiting Eden"
Worth a re-read
I had read this book years ago, and it was delightful to be reacquainted with it, in an audio format.
"Too Slow!"
This book is for someone who enjoys being told every tiny detail of each and every charater.
WAY too much detail. It's as if the author was just trying to fill pages while she figured out what to do next.
Probably not.
This story moved much too slowly for me. I like a story that gives background for the characters, but flows smoothly along with the story. This book reminded me of a history book instead of a romance. I didn't finish the book because it dragged on without moving things along and I didn't care for the authors' way of jumping back and forth between characters. I've read books before that do that and enjoyed them, but this book just didn't do it for me.
"Really Bad Performance"
The Male narrator was unimaginative. He very clearly read every word and was definitely not believable. The female was better, changing her voice appropriately for the different characters. There was an actual difference in the volume between the male and female narrator. It was very noticeable from the very beginning of the book.
I've been a Catherine Coulter Fan for years, and if I had read the book I would have enjoyed it. The story was good, and during those times that I could overlook the bad performance, I loved it.

The Pursuit of Happiness
I didn't think Spring Training could get any more intimate than City of Palms Park. Autographs are more of a commodity than they are during the regular season, and no matter where you sit (from my experience, at least), you've got a pretty nice view. I thought that way until I decided to take a left on Edison Avenue rather than a right, and I was headed down to the Players' Development Complex.

What a spring training you had! All those trips, autographs and projects. I'm sure it was a thrill for you, and I've enjoyed reading about your adventures and living vicariously through them.
