Creative arts therapies are based on the premise that when someone works creatively under the guidance of a qualified therapist, they become more expressive and communicative. This raises their awareness of issues and brings impetus for change. The creative work can involve music, art, dance, movement, and other creative activities. Some of these are described in more detail below.
According to the American Music Therapy Association [7] (AMTA):
"Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program" (2008).
A music therapist utilizes music to address the emotional/psychological, cognitive, physical, and social needs of the client.
Music therapy begins with a thorough assessment to identify the client's strengths and areas of need. After the assessment, the music therapist manages the role of music in the therapeutic process, the relationship between the client and the therapist, and the approaches and interventions tailored to meet the needs of the client.
The American Art Therapy Association [8], Inc. states:
"Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing [9] of individuals of all ages" (2008).
The premise is that the creative process allows for artistic self-expression which helps individuals solve conflicts, manage behavior, improve self-esteem, develop self-awareness and insight, manage stress [10], and develop interpersonal skills [11]. The art therapy process integrates theories of human development, the use of visual arts, and the process of creating.
Art therapy is used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, wellness centers, clinics, community agencies, education institutions, and private practices. Art therapists assess and treat children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, as individuals, groups, or families. The creative process incorporates drawing, painting, sculpting, and various other media to meet the needs and preferences of the individual or group.
The American Dance Therapy Association [12] defines dance/movement therapy as:
"The psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration of the individual" (2008).
The focus of the therapeutic process is the movement that emerges within the therapeutic relationship. This movement simultaneously serves as the material for assessment and as the means of developing therapeutic interventions.
Dance/movement therapists use communicative, expressive, and adaptive behaviors and interactions in treating both groups and individuals. The registered dance therapist adapts the approach to meet the individualized and specialized needs of any group or individual. Dance/movement therapy is offered in a variety of mental health centers; educational, forensic, and medical settings; nursing homes; day care centers; and private practice.
The North American Drama Therapy Association [13] states:
"Drama therapy is the intentional use of drama and/or theater processes to achieve therapeutic goals" (2010).
Drama therapists may incorporate improvision, theater games, enactment, and storytelling, depending on the client's needs, interests, and abilities. Drama therapy is practiced in schools, hospitals, private practice facilities, nursing homes, and shelters, among others. According to the NADT, "Drama therapy is active and experiential. This approach can provide the context for participants to tell their stories, set goals and solve problems, express feelings, or achieve catharsis."
Creative arts therapies share a commitment to the "expressive action that engages emotions in a direct and physical way; an ability to generate creative energy as a healing force for mind, body, and spirit; and a belief that the creative imagination can find its way through out most perplexing and complex problems and conflicts" (McNiff, 2005).
Each therapy is influenced by its unique medium or art form, giving it the flexibility to meet the complex needs of each client. While commonalities exist among the various therapies, there are also a myriad of differences.
Music and music therapy impact and benefit health and wellbeing in a variety of ways. Music therapists use music to provide distraction from anxiety [14] and pain [5] by directing the listener to relaxing or comforting music. Clients can also engage in active music-making sessions, such as drumming, singing, or group keyboard lessons. Research shows that this has positive effects on overall wellbeing by decreasing anxiety, depression, and loneliness [4]. It has also been shown to improve the gait of adults with movement disorders (Thaut, M. & Abiru, M. (2010). Rhythmic auditory stimulation in rehabilitation of movement disorders: A review of current research. Music Perception, 27(4), 263-269.)
The creative process in art therapy often contributes to a sense of clarity for the individual, leading to greater self awareness and understanding. Therapeutic art often brings emotional expression [15], improvement of self-esteem, and management of conflict. Art therapy is particularly useful in addressing trauma, because of the unique capacity of art to express repressed traumatic imagery [16]. The art therapist is trained to use appropriate materials and directives based on the needs of the clients and is a facilitator of the client's journey towards self-awareness and discovery.
Dance and movement therapy function on the premise that the mind and body are interrelated and interact in health and illness. Thus, dance helps, whether the primary focus is an illness of the mind (which will impact the body) or of the body (which will impact the mind). The dance and movement therapist strives to mobilize the resources from within where the mind and body connect. The healing occurs as the client is able to access and draw forth these internal resources.
Music therapy: There is a wide array of research-based evidence to support the use of music therapy. Much of this research is published in the Journal of Music Therapy [17], which is available through the American Music Therapy Association [7](AMTA). AMTA also publishes Music Therapy Perspective, which includes articles on more clinical applications of music therapy in a variety of settings and clinical arenas. Music therapy research also appears in a variety of healthcare-related journals. If you are looking for research on a specific need or client population, visit the AMTA website at www.musictherapy.org [18].
Art therapy: The American Art Therapy Association [8] (AATA) publishes the Journal of the American Art Therapy Association [19], which is the leading publication for this field. This journal presents articles with diverse perspectives on art therapy, as well as topics related to professional practice and research. Visit the AATA website at www.arttherapy.org [8] to see a listing of the articles included in the latest publication.
Dance therapy: The American Dance Therapy Association [20] (ADTA) includes a number of research resources and bibliographies on their website www.adta.org/resources/research.cfm [21]. The association includes extensive bibliographies on the use of dance and movement therapy with a wide variety of clinical environments and client populations. Many of these articles are published in the American Journal of Dance Therapy, which include quantitative and qualitative research. ADTA lists several articles focused on the use of dance therapy in the treatment of clients with eating disorders and in the field of corrections.
Additionally, research surrounding the creative arts can be found in journals such as The Arts in Psychotherapy or Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, as well as a variety of related professional journals. To find specific research for a particular need or creative arts modality, visit the appropriate website. It can also be helpful to speak with a therapist certified in that particular modality to direct you to the appropriate research.
The American Music Therapy Association [7] (AMTA) strives to connect individuals seeking music therapy services in their area (throughout the United States) to a qualified music therapist. Individuals and organizations can contact AMTA at (301) 589-3300 to speak with a representative who can connect you with a music therapist in your area.
To locate a registered art therapist (ATR) in your area, contact the American Art Therapy Association [22] at (888) 290-0878 or email@example.com [23].
For additional information on how to locate a dance/movement therapist (ADTR), contact the American Dance Therapy Association [20] at (410) 997-4040 or email@example.com [24].
Finding a qualified instructor or group to practice your expressive therapy is vital; check websites of professional organizations for music, dance and art therapy. Also, check with a qualified health practitioner about your fitness level before beginning any strenuous dance regime.
For additional information about music therapy, visit the Center for Spirituality & Healing's online learning resources [25], then click Music Therapy.

As proof I offer this: While I share Mary Louise's opinion that the Milwaukee Art Museum has not done enough lately to connect with the local art community, the museum nevertheless is showing contemporary Milwaukee art everyday mixed in with its permanent collection. A Reginald Baylor painting was recently installed, for example.
The museum's stature brings foot traffic, national and international exposure, far, far, far out shining all the other art venues in the city... combined. If an international business traveler is looking for something fun and interesting to do in the city for a few hours, do you think they will seek out the Green Gallery as good as it is? No, they go to the MAM.
Therefore not including Brady Roberts, who holds the keys to the (by far) highest profile contemporary art venue in the city, because of the bone you have to pick, I believe reveals flawed criteria and a less than objective view of point. (If there is such a thing)

Maybe we should concentrate on Ryan Howard's contract extension after all, because tonight's 5-1 loss to the Giants turned out to be a real doozy.
I guess we couldn't realistically expect Roy Halladay to keep winning games by himself all year. Halladay, who until tonight had been doing his best impression of 1968 Bob Gibson, didn't pitch all that badly but gave up 5 earned runs in 7 innings as the Phillies offense left what seemed like hundreds of runners on base. Already without the services of Jimmy Rollins, Charlie Manuel sat left fielder Raul Ibanez against tough lefty Jonathan Sanchez, a decision that proved to be fateful.
Ibanez's replacement, Ben Francisco, was a one-man rally killer. Disco flied out to end the third inning with the bases loaded, did the same with runners at the corners to end the fifth, and struck out to end the seventh with the bases loaded again–all told, he left 8 runners on base, 5 in scoring position. The $125 million man himself, Howard, went 0-for-3 with a walk in a performance that the gloom-and-doom crowd will surely call the first step on his road to turning into Mo Vaughn.
Despite the litany of mishaps, a lot of things went relatively well tonight. Struggling leadoff hitter Shane Victorino reached base three times, and the Phillies managed to chase Sanchez by running up his pitch count after only 5 innings. But seldom can a team let up 5 runs, leave 19 runners on base, and expect to win. Giants relievers Guillermo Mota, Jeremy Affeldt, and Tony Sergio Romo picked up Sanchez, and while you hate to lose this kind of game, there will be a few over 162 games where the breaks just don't go your way.

are you kidding me?
you guys gave Halladay the Jeltz award?
are you freakin' joking?
how about the offense???
Jeltz for Halladay? I disagree. I'd totally go with Francisco. If he would have batted .333 with a single, it would have driven in a minimum of 2 runs.
that in itself would have changed the whole game entirely. If he would have managed to hit twice for .667, we'd be in the lead in the 5th. Granted, 5 runs isn't good, but Halladay kept us in the game.
I completely agree with the above posters. While Halladay didn't have a great game, Ben Francisco was the weakest link tonight. To single-handedly leave 8 men on base in inexcusable.
No clutch hitting…..No hitting, period.
This team will not get there. Jr giving howard all that money. Feed the world instead.
I wake up to this? wtf happened? i was sure that when I checked the scores this morning that it would say the Phils won. After seeing the highlights i'm sick to my stomch. Not at Roy of course, but at this O. They look lost in the wilderness. Ben Fran left 8 on base? What? His batting stance is 2nd worse only to back-up ss Valdez. Feed what world Jeff? Bobby's World? It's only a cartoon you know. The Redcross steals money too.
When do the Phillies play Houston & Washington again?
damn work is really gonna be a b*tch today.
the redskins or the capitals? just kidding. we don't play the Nats again for a while. Maybe they'll snap back to reality by then.
Ibanez's confidence is getting protection from Charlie. Not good. He is a seasoned vet and has been flat since last year's break. Raul, time to answer the bell. Doc getting the 'Jeltz" is a little rough given that he didn't do any more/less than our other 4 starters on any given night. Starting pitcher's ERA around 5 ER seems to be the norm here. I feel good about Howard and the 'home grown' factor. It seems RAJ wants to build an organization in which it means something to be a Philadelphia Phillie. That will take years but he is showing the commitment to making this a classy organization.
Anyone catch Howard's response to the question of possibly riding out his old contract and then going to SF? His response was "you would have to turn up the heat"; funny!
If this patchwork team can manage to stay in the hunt until the DL clears we will be fine.
No offense but people don't seem to have an issue when Moyer, Hamels or Kendrick give up 5 ER and get the Jeltz. This is not much different. While Halladay was not the only reason, tonight he was the biggest reason. Doesn't mean I still don't love the guy but the truth is the truth. Yes Ben Fran left 8 men on base and that certainly makes a difference but still. If it's ok for Moyer and Kendrick then it's ok for Halladay as well.
Halladay for the Jeltz is a JOKE!! How about Ben Fran for leaving EIGHT men on base. WTF!!! Who the hell is responsible for choosing this award anyway?? I'm one of the most vocal supporters of this blog and it's decision-makers with lots of stuff…..but this one is just flat-out WRONG!! Michael, Pat, Amanda….someone want to step forward??
Oh, and uhhhh…..Jimmy Rollins can not get back SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!
Sorry, Ed….EIGHT men left on base!! EIGHT. Not four. Not three. But EIGHT. That doesn't qualify for the Jeltz?
Ed R, even if Halladay only gave up 2 we'd have still lost. The offense (particularly Ben F) was brutal this game and Ben F being the most brutal. Had they not left so many RISP we would have easily won regardless of Halladay struggling.
Also, would it kill this site to have the Jeltz and Ashburn be a POLL? Much better way than having whoever give it to who THEY feels deserves it (regardless of the general census)?
And comparing Moyer and Kendrick to Halladay in relation to the Jeltz…..when Moyer and Kenrdick get it….they totally sucked. Halladay, while giving up the runs, really didn't pitch all that badly. Some of the hits had eyes down the lines and I think the home plate ump, Buckner, was squeezing him a little. Halladay pitched 7 innings, too. When Kendrick or Moyer wold suck and get this award, they usually didn't last past 5 innings.
I just think that this was just such a sharp departure from what we are used to seeing from Roy, that he was an easy scapegoat for the award.
Sorry, I did it again with Kendrick's name. Typing too fast and missed that "r" again. Oops.
Keith… last week, Ibanez went 6/17 (.353) with a HR. I felt like he was starting to turn the corner. A lot of managers like reward the players that are playing well but when a player is in the zone of getting close to finding the zone, I worry that a day off could snap them out of a hot streak. I guess we'll see…
These makeshift lineups are killing me… if I see Wilson Valdez one more time, I might throw up. We need to get back to full strength… quickly.
Like I said, Halladay wasn't the only reason this team lost last night, how about the 3-8 hitters going a combined 0-17. Howard and Fran were both 0-3 RISP, so no one really did Halladay any favors. Sad that on the one occasion that he needed the team to pick him up they did absolutely nothing.
I am starting to get a little concerned about this team. Especially while Baez and Hendron are still in the bullpen.
THat's my point, Ed. Halladay really didn't pitch that badly. 7 Innings. Some of the hits had eyes down the foul lines. And I really think he was being squeezed a bit by the home plate ump.
And in comparing Halladay to Moyer and Kendrick in relation to the Jeltz….when those guys got it…..they really stunk it up. Couldn't get past the fifth inning. No command whatsoever. Yada. Yada. Yada….
Halladay threw 7 innings and had command….just not what we got used to seeing his first 4 starts. So I think because of that he became an easy scapegoat for this loss.
As far as the line-ups….not much we can do about Valdez being in there with J-Roll out and Castro nursing his injury. Ben Fran in there to give Raul a break from the left SEEMED like a good idea in theory. Ben Fran just didn't amke the most of the opportunity, that's all.
I don't think you mean 'comeuppance' unless you believe that Doc deserved to get hit around like that.
Obviously, Halladay can do no wrong. He can allow five runs in a less-than-stellar performance but it's Francisco who lost the game because he couldn't get a hit against tough pitching when no one else could, either.
The only thing Halladay did well this time was to pitch seven innings. Of course, if he'd only gone five, maybe the final would have been 4-1, which is a whole run better than Moyer's six inning Jeltz performance.
If there's a note of sarcasm here, it's deliberate. You just can't give up five runs and deserve a win, no matter who your position players are.
Anyone have an idea when Halladay gets a chance at another W?
Well assuming the offense wakes the F up…his next start is Sunday vs the Mets.
Both pitchers got squeezed by the ump . . . the difference was, when each pitcher adjusted and threw pitches down the plate … Our guys didn't put the ball in play, and their guys did..
If we're going to praise Halladay when he's on.. you have to also acknowledge when he's off a little … and last night he wasn't on his A-game
I wonder if they'll pitch Halladay on Saturday.. they're off on Thursday, so I'd pitch Halladay on normal rest, and skip Nelson Fig in the rotation
Man, I miss JRoll. This lineup is too good to go into a tailspin. They'll be alright, and I'm certainly not worried about anybody else in the division.
Halladay 5 ER, but still pitched 7 innings. Frisco would've been the better candidate for the Jeltzy. I was pissed when I found out that Raul wasn't on the lineup, especially because he's been swinging the bat much batter in the past few games…. and I'm even more pissed now after seeing Frisco struggle last night.
guys, long season. If I told you before the seasont he Phils would be in first place at this point with a rotation of
You'd think I was dinking too much. We this crap against lefties all the time which is why we need to retain Werth at all costs.
ok so halladay isnt perfect oh well. what surprises me more is 8 baserunners left by ben francisco. he's no hero but he had 3 chances to do something!

Many of you who follow my blog are in academia or, at least, interested in such academic issues. Michael Hyatt has an excellent post and a humorous video to depict what he means. As a public speaker myself I regularly teach and lecutre to philosophy classes consisting of 25-250 students (250 is the regular size I teach). I know every bit of what this video shows. Some of them, of course, I have done myself and I can't help but laugh.

text: Can anyone tell me, on an average, out of the numerous holes in the areola where milk gets released from, how many should be in use at any given time (on an average, of course)? Just curious if most people see milk spraying out of several holes simultaneously, or one at a time, or what. Cause I've noticed that mine only comes out of one or two at a time and I think that is contributing to why my baby is so darn frustrated at the breast.

Crashes snarl local traffic
BERLIN Police responded to two separate two-vehicle crashes Friday both on the Barre-Montpelier Road.
One of the crashes happened just after noon; the other, just before 1:30 p.m., according to Officer Kyle Kapitanski of the Berlin police.
The first accident took place near the Berlin State Highway, and the second was near Windshield World, said Kapitanski.
The first crash resulted in significant damage to one vehicle and moderate damage to the second. One of the people in the accident may have suffered a minor injury, he said.
The second crash resulted in minor damage to both vehicles and no injuries.
No one from either accident was taken to a hospital by ambulance, Kapitanski said.
Traffic was heavier than normal on the Barre-Montpelier Road at the time of both crashes, due to a traffic-related incident that occurred in Barre City earlier in the day, a news release from the Berlin Police Department said. Traffic had since returned to normal flow, police said as of 3:30 p.m.
The accident in Barre, involving a truck striking power lines, led to North Main Street being temporarily closed to traffic in both directions, Barre police said.

The Story Behind Geeking out at Fisher
They have a clever blog name and send out an email to the campus community when they have a new blog post to share, but who exactly are the Fisher Geeks and how did the blog come to be?
Last summer, Jeremy Sarachan, Assistant Professor in the Communication/Journalism (C/J) Department; Dr. Todd Sodano, Assistant Professor in the C/J Department; and Dr. Rik Hunter, a former faculty member in the English Department, attended the New Media Consortium Conference at MIT. They came back with an idea to create a blog that would offer a vehicle for presenting the information and philosophies around contemporary educational technology in higher education that the three acquired at the conference, but had also been developing themselves over the years. After a discussion with Dr. David Pate, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, it was "go" time. The group immediately reached out to Katie McDonald, Educational Technologist, to see if she would join them. They also sent a request to the faculty, which helped them recruit Dr. Joellen Maples, Assistant Professor in the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education. Sarachan came up with the name for the blog, Geeking Out at Fisher, and the blogging began.
"It was part of my ongoing wish to reclaim the term 'geek' from being synonymous with 'nerd,' and use it to mean someone who enjoys and is willing to play with technology," Sarachan said.
The blog's tagline is "Exploring educational philosophy and technologies. For all professors and everyone else." The content is aimed at those teaching in higher education.
"It's a great way to share tips and strategies with everyone on campus. Using technology in your courses is all about experimentation. Every technology will be used differently in different courses by different faculty. Each person needs to find what works for them," said McDonald. "The great thing about the blog is we can share what has worked for us and hope that others find the ideas helpful in their own use of technology to improve the learning experiences in their courses."
The group says the aim of the blog is to expose people to technology and help them realize that there is more available than any one person can learn on their own, so they encourage collaboration.
"We also want to explore how education can support — but not overwhelm — teaching, and that technology is just a collection of tools," added Sarachan. "How people use them, whether or not for the intended purpose, is where it gets interesting."
The geeks have attracted nearly 1,100 views since February, an impressive number for a blog that is still in its infancy. They try to post twice at least every month, although they have some lighter and some busier months. Each writer develops his/her own topic, but often run ideas by each other. Anyone can submit, and the group encourages guest bloggers.
Maples focuses her posts on particular Web 2.0 tools that she is integrating into her classroom so that she can talk specifically about the strengths and weaknesses and provide examples.
"I don't really consider myself a technology person, but I like to play with technology. I think the emphasis on play is an important disposition to have when approaching technology, and it's one I try to impress upon my students," said Maples. "As we know, technology changes every day, and to teach only certain tools seems a bit useless. The main skill to teach is technological curiosity, the willingness to play and take risks, and the openness to take that journey with our students to be co-content creators."
The group hopes the blog will last and will continue to gain loyal readers.
"The blog has been a great tool from my perspective to get faculty thinking about new teaching and technology ideas, and I have had more than a few follow up with me to learn more about a certain idea after a blog post," said McDonald.
One of the posts got so many faculty interested at the January Faculty Development Day, that the geeks scheduled a workshop to follow up on the topic.
Maples also said that several faculty in the School of Education have approached her after reading about the various tools and applications the group wrote about.
"It makes the intent of the blog meaningful to see that faculty are actually taking the ideas and trying them out in their own courses and tweaking them as they use them. It's energizing to talk with faculty about particular Web 2.0 tools and to hear them say that they can't wait for the next blog post to try out the next tool we discuss," said Maples.

By SONJA HEDLUND
As summarized in part 1 of this article, a number of interesting and innovative agricultural developments are already taking place in Sullivan County. The next question is, what kind of steps can we take now to systematically encourage, support and plan for this type of development. The goal is to expand all types of farming. The strategy is to create a vibrant results-oriented coalition of new and existing farm producers, agricultural businesses and public servants who work in agriculture and economic development.
Consider these actions:
• Safeguard unused agricultural land. Over several decades, more than 200 dairy farms stopped shipping milk. Much open land has been purchased by non-farmers. Much of this acreage remains unused. These pastures could feed beef cattle, sheep, goats and swine, all in demand locally and regionally.
• Encourage towns to implement Farmland Projection Plans.
• Bring affordable high-speed Internet connections to rural communities. Without it, rural residents are at a great disadvantage in learning of agricultural innovations and advertising their products on the web.
• Welcome new farmers. Develop links with state agricultural schools so as to entice graduates to Sullivan County. Lease, at no cost, unused publicly owned land to these graduates and those completing new farmer training programs offered by Cornell University and the Northeast Organic Farmers Association of NY. Encourage farmers to take on interns through www.attra.org [2] or other web-based sites. Expand their training through the Catskill Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT).
• Inventory the teenage children of farmers. Identify their interests in farming and what it would take to keep them working on their family farm.
• Enable farmers to develop value-added products: cheese, butter, yogurt, kefir, grass pellets, wood chips, compost, free-range chickens and eggs, rose beef, you-pick fruit, jams and jellies, mushrooms, high tunnels for out of season production. Build on the spring 2011 Sullivan County Community College workshop series on value-added opportunities. Enhance the college's culinary program to include food tourism linking farmers, restaurants and consumers around local food. Encourage the Sullivan County Visitors' Association to earmark as much as 20% of their media budget to farm related tourism.
• Build the red meat slaughter plant now. In planning for almost a decade, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been set aside for this project. Meat animals would be slaughtered and USDA inspected at this plant close to home and the meat sold for a higher price locally and in the metropolitan area. The Industrial Development Agency (IDA) is now in charge of this project.
• Build a creamery to process local milk and dairy products. Start small with a unique label and targeted marketing plan. Sell locally and in the metropolitan area. Learn from the experience of the small dairy created by Hudson Valley Fresh.
• Reshape the county's economic development agencies and their budgets in order to better serve agriculture. Ensure that staffs continuously expand their knowledge of agriculture, the perspective and needs of the farm community and advocate for them. Revamp the Millennium Revolving Loan fund offered by the IDA, reduce hiring requirements and applicant fees and make the application a truly "farmer friendly" document.
• Convene an agricultural development leadership workgroup. Nowhere in the county do employed civil servants and not-for-profits meet regularly to commit to implementing a few agricultural projects. Wouldn't such a body make progress in agriculture more likely?
Finally, renewable energy makes a natural and synergistic partner for agriculture, and one that obviously has a key place in the economic priorities of the 21st century. These partners together have the potential to build a vibrant, sustainable economy in Sullivan County.

On the lawn of the president's house, there's a forsythia bush whose spectacular blooms herald the arrival of spring. A few years ago—in the midst of a hard Illinois winter—my wife commissioned a full color picture of that forsythia to hang, when the snow falls, in a place of honor next to her desk, a daily reminder that spring is coming.
I must confess that I looked at that picture quite often this December and January. It wasn't the weather (although it was a cold winter). It was our fundraising. The Kresge Challenge for the new Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center is just that—a CHALLENGE—$7 million to be committed by June 30, 2007, in order to receive the $1 million Kresge payout. And with $3 million to go in February, reaching the goal in time looked very daunting.
We still have quite a ways to go. But now the forsythia is in full bloom, every day brings word of new corporate, community and alumni Kresge Challenge pledges, and the walls of the Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center are starting to go up. So it feels like spring!
A big part of the excitement of spring is the Rall Symposium and what it has come to symbolize in the life of the College. Our Strategic Plan for 2007-2012 talks about reinforcing the growing culture of inquiry on campus. When students publicly present the results of their research at the Rall Symposium on Honors Day, it's like that forsythia coming into bloom after a long winter of hard and often frustrating work. On this day, it's all worth it.
Over the years, I have known North Central students whose "eureka moments" as researchers and scholars have been life-changing events, highs similar to the times when student athletes dramatically exceed their previous bests. But for too many students, at this college and others— unlike in athletics, where the finish line is clear, as is the difference between winning and losing —it's hard to visualize the incomparable rewards that can come from discovering, inventing, creating and presenting something original … for yourself and for the world.
The challenge for faculty and staff, as we look to the future, is to make sure that every North Central student—not just those with scholarly gifts—experiences that joy in their years on campus…the joy of being a part of a culture of inquiry, of raising their intellectual game to a new level.
This is the 17th spring Benna and I have lived in Naperville, and it never gets old. Track meets, softball games watching baseball at Alumni Field, students back from service trips all over the nation, spectacular speakers and events (from Ron Allen, Bob Newhart and Bill Bradley to Gina Glocksen)…as Marv Levy, our Commencement speaker four years ago, put it: "Is there anyplace you would rather be than right here, right now?"
As exciting as this season of the year, and all that it brings, is—the new facilities, the great athletic performances, a successful Kresge Challenge (I hope!)—I never forget that what the spring and that gorgeous forsythia, our burning bush, really herald is a spectacular new cohort of North Central College students, about to graduate with minds ablaze and the talent to take on the world.

OLD SADYBROOK, CONNECTICUT -- This company is absolutely horrible. I called them on the phone, asked them if the item I wanted was available for delivery that day, and they said yes, so I placed an order on the phone for a bamboo arrangement to congratulate him on an award that he got. I called my boyfriend's work to inform them to watch for it, and they let me know that it never showed up. Then, they tried to deliver it twice on the weekend, despite the fact that I gave them a business name.
Then, they showed up to deliver it on Monday, and they delivered something that was NOT EVEN CLOSE to what I ordered. It was so hideous that I wouldn't have paid $20 for it, let alone 3-4 times that much. They sent some sort of cactus with an ugly green plant, and it was supposed to be bamboo with succulents in a really beautiful arrangement. It was supposed to be a really modern brown rectangular planter, and it was in a really ugly white planter.
The entire thing was a mess. It was delivered by a local flower shop, so I am guessing they passed the order off? Not happy at all. I emailed them and they offered me a 25% off refund, which is NOT OK, because I would have NEVER bought such an ugly awful gift for someone to be delivered late. This is a horrible company.
My boyfriend's mom was in the hospital getting a hip replacement. I ordered the flowers the day of the surgery (Tuesday) and requested they be delivered the next day (Wednesday) to avoid any complications in case she was still in surgery when they tried to deliver them. I got a call Tuesday night informing me they had tried to deliver them but she had checked out. So I called the hospital and got her room number and called the flower company back so they could deliver them. I didn't hear anything again after this.
No delivery confirmation or anything. His mom is the kind of person who would at least mention something or say thank you so I began to get a little worried. We had a long weekend off from school so my boyfriend went home on Friday night to visit his mom. She had gotten out of the hospital early but I was informed she never received the flowers. I emailed customer service and asked for an explanation.
A woman called my house and told me they had kept calling the hospital and every time the hospital said she had checked out. I had given them the room number so there was absolutely no need for them to be calling the hospital and I knew she was clearly in the hospital so there was a hugeeee lack of effort on their part. Also, you would think if the hospital actually told me she had checked out they would call me and say something! But no. They had intended to just forget about my order and keep the money.
While on the phone with the lady, I asked if I could just cancel the order altogether as it was now Saturday, she was out of the hospital and their policy was flowers the same day or the next day. Amazingly, right after I said this, the woman and I were disconnected. Don't get me wrong, she had a terrible connection. It was hard to hear her in the first place because everything was fuzzy but she didn't even call me back!!!!
At this point I had no idea what was happening with my order so I waited till Sunday to see if they'd call back. They didn't. Sunday I sent them a follow up email explaining that I'd been disconnected and just wanted to follow up and make sure my order was cancelled. They responded saying they could cancel the order or they would be willing to upgrade the flowers from a medium bouquet to a large one and write a formal apology to my boyfriend's mom explaining what had happened and deliver them to her home on Tuesday.
It was Sunday afternoon and I thought there was no reason they couldn't be delivered on Monday but seeing as Monday was Valentine's day I understood they would be busy. I should have just cancelled my order but instead I sent them an address and asked them to upgrade the bouquet. Monday afternoon my boyfriend told me she'd received the flowers. I was glad that they got them there on Monday, but once again it wasn't what they told me. I asked him to send me a picture so I could make sure they were even the right flowers (my experience had been so bad I half expected they would give her any random flowers).
The picture I received had the right flowers but the bouquet was tiny. I would have hated for her not to have gotten the medium like I'd ordered if that was the large. I asked if he'd gotten the apology from the company like they promised and was surprised to hear that they only got my card. I'm now really embarrasssed because I look terrible since she's out of the hospital and only getting flowers a week later and have concluded that because she didn't receive an apology she didn't get the flower upgrade either.
Florist Express delivered the flowers a week late but had no intention of delivering them at all, never wrote a formal apology and never gave me the promised upgrade. They had terrible customer service, they would say one thing and do another and because the flowers were ordered online, I would have never known. Never Ever Ever Ever order flowers from this company!!
I will NEVER order from FloristExpress again! I ordered an arrangement for an out-of-state family member who had just undergone a surgery, with a guaranteed delivery and they never received it nor did I receive any e-mail or text message that it wasn't delivered. The only way I found out was through my mother who was with that family member, asked me if I was planning to send something to which I responded that I already had to which she responded that nothing was ever received from me.
To make things worse, when I called to find out what happened, after being on hold for an inordinate amount of time, could only speak to an answering service who said they would make a note of it and couldn't tell me when I would receive a response nor could they tell me when the arrangement was going to be delivered. I eventually told them to cancel the order and ordered directly from FTD which was timely received.
OLD SAYBROOK, CONNECTICUT -- This company is nothing but a disappointment. I placed an order with them to deliver a present to a friend on her birthday. I placed it three weeks before the actual date. Her birthday fell on a Sunday, but their site said it was possible and they even charged me a weekend delivery charge in addition to regular rates! (By the way, their shipping & delivery rates are very high, so don't get fooled by cheap flower baskets, the delivery charge will easily double this price.)
So this is what happened next. On a day IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the delivery date I received an email from them saying that "unfortunately, the delivery on this date is not possible". To say that I was disappointed is to say nothing. I was really mad at them and shocked. So this is how you care about your customers???? I placed an order three weeks ago and now, right before my friend's birthday, you inform me that the delivery is impossible???!!! You can imagine the state I was in. They have spoiled my present as I even cannot find any alternative stuff because her birthday is TOMORROW!!!!
Bottom line: I will never order anything from them again and warn you against trusting them. As you see, they can easily break their promise and fail to deliver your present to your loved ones. This isn't normal business. This can't be called business at all.
DALLAS, TEXAS -- To summarize this review: DO NOT use this company! I had organized a night out for my fiance and her best friend, which included a night in a hotel along with a concert seeing her favorite band. To make it even more special I decided to get flowers delivered to her hotel.
Even though not the cheapest option, I went with FloristsExpress after seeing they showed on their main page "100% on time delivery" and also had a guarantee towards satisfaction or money back (or redelivery). That along with the fact that they delivered to business address by 5 pm (which was a must for my delivery). I also requested if possible to have them delivered around 4 pm (would have been perfect but would not matter an hour later).
4 pm came, no delivery, so I assumed they could not do it, happily waiting for the 5 pm delivery. I was on Skype with my fiance at 5 pm, still no delivery. I called the hotel reception to have it confirmed that no flowers were delivered. I sent an email to the company requesting a status update, to which 13 minutes later I received an email stating they had been delivered. Once again I called the hotel to have it confirmed that they were not.
I called the company to advise them of this, and was told that sometimes (even though they should not) florists update it to delivered when the flowers are loading the vehicle, and was told he would investigate and call me back. Of course no call back and as it approached 6 pm my fiance was saying goodbye as they needed to head out to the concert. At 6 pm just as she was leaving reception had called to state that there was a delivery man there. So my fiance went down and picked them up on the way out.
I contacted the company via email and told them the events that occurred. I received an apology and was told that they would investigate and contact me with the findings. A week later I received an email saying that they had been delivered at 5 pm. Another week later I emailed them explaining the WHOLE situation again, in aim to help them investigate and allow such a headache be avoided in the future with other customers.
They replied saying it was again delivered at 5 pm and the hotel reception must have called them and hour later (even though I told them this was not the case and called the reception 3 times over 2 hours to have it confirmed). Back and forth emails, full of excuses and justifications.. they are now telling me that a hotel is not a business, but residential and that I ordered the flowers after 3 pm and that 6 pm is the delivery time although they can deliver up to 7 pm with a request for 3 pm.
I contacted them advising them that I never ordered for after 3 pm, and that if they want to class a business as residential they should specify that on their website so others do not get confused. At the end of the day, they messed up, and rather than accepting responsibility they would rather debate it over and over via email, and show no care for their promises or guarantee let alone their customers. I will never use this company again, and would strongly recommend you do not either, as they are all about money and not customer service and make promises that they have no intention standing by.
455 BOSTON POST RD, SUITE 205, OLD SAYBROOK, CONNECTICUT -- On Saturday February 13th, 2010 I went online searching for a late Valentine's Days basket for my honey. I couldn't use the company that I usually order from because it was already too late for a Valentine's Day's delivery. I found Florist Express or From You Flowers, LLC, I searched their website and found the most appealing baskets. I saw one that caught my attention and ordered it, they have different options, like regular basket, deluxe basket, etc....
I went ahead and ordered the deluxe one, which included gourmet crackers, gourmet Gouda cheese, olives, nuts and different kinds of fruits, the total for that basket with shipping $147.97. I also paid $10.00 dollars extra for a small box of chocolates and $5.00 more for a helium balloon. On Valentine's Day I was waiting for my boyfriend's compliment on the beautiful basket, that never came, 'cause the delivery person just left the basket on the porch without even ringing the bell, my boyfriend didn't even know that there was something there for him.
Like around 10:00 PM I called him and asked if he got a delivery from Florist Express, he said no, so I asked him to go check outside and he did. He called me back to tell me that there was something outside but that it wasn't a basket, it was a gift bag filled with all kinds of foreign cheap chocolates, with foreign unrecognizable language. I said to him, "Are you sure honey? I sent you a gourmet picnic basket, there have to an error!" He said "nope, there's a lot of little boxes of chocolate, with a cheap helium and a blue ugly ribbon attached to it." Oh my God! what a disappointment after spending all these money.
I called the company but it was closed until after President's Days. I sent an e-mail to customer service and got an apology reply. They were supposed to replace the chocolates for the right basket. On Tuesday, my boyfriend didn't get any basket, on Wednesday I called back and spoke to someone named **. She said she was going to contact the flower shop to find out what happened to the order. For some reason the called got disconnected and when I called back I couldn't talk to the same person.
The new person that picked up the phone said she didn't know anything about that problem so she put me on hold, and after like 10 minutes came back to the line and told me that she contacted the flower shop but that they close early that day. Oh my God, I wish I was right there in front of one of these people, I felt like slapping them. She said that the flower shop wasn't going to be able to get a replacement basket until Thursday because since it's a small shop in Greenville, South Carolina they didn't have all the stuff for the basket so she had to go to the grocery store and get it, can you believe this **?
I said to the person, "you know what? I would like to get refunded the full $147.97 that I paid." And she said to me, "OK, let me talk to my supervisor," so she put me on hold. When she came back to the phone she said, "my supervisor said it's OK to refund you your money, in 3 days you'll get your money back in your account." I had cancelled my debit card so now I have to wait and see if they're really sending me a check for my money. I can't believe this, first time something like this happens to me. PLEASE PEOPLE, DO NOT BUY FROM FLORIST EXPRESS ONLINE, THEY'RE A RIPOFF.
The problem with Flowers Express was solved satisfactorily, I got a full refund.
Flowers ordered for a birthday didn't make it on day it was supposed to & no contact was made to advise of issues with order, until end of day. Called company and they arranged for flowers to be delivered following day with 20% refund. Second day they still didn't arrive & company sent email again at end of day. Requested refund after waiting on hold 17 minutes to find out order status. Never again will I order from them! Too pricey for the value anyhow!
SUN CITY, CA, CALIFORNIA -- Horrible experience, tried to deliver the flowers at the end of the day and since no one was there to receive them they left and sent me an email confirming delivery. When I called the next day and spoke to two different reps they promised to re-send and call me to confirm. That didn't happen. I am on the third day trying to find out if the flowers were ever delivered for a funeral 3 days ago. I will not recommend this company, horrible experience.
OLD SADYBROOK, CONNECTICUT -- I placed an order on 5/1/07 for flowers and candy to be delivered to my Mom for Mother's Day. I requested a Saturday delivery of 5/15/07 (day before Mother's Day). I called my Mom on Mother's Day and when she didn't thank me for her favorite Yellow Tulips I asked if she received flowers. She did not.
I called the "Customer No-Service" department and was told that they did not deliver the flowers because the florist refused the order because my mom was outside of their delivery zone. When asked why I was never notified I was told that they do not notify everyone of every issue during this busy time of year. The "Customer No-Service" rep, named **, acted as though I was asking for an outrageous request to be notified.
The story does not end there. My debit card was charged $61.98 on 5/1/07 - the very same day I placed the order. It was also charged $11.99 on 5/2/07. I had been trying to get the 2nd payment taken off of my card a week before Mother's Day. No one informed me that the flowers would not be delivered and as of today, 5/13/07, I have been unable to get the duplicate payment removed. The reason: Florist Express claims they have no record of duplicate charging me, even though I was able to provide the reference number for both debits. As for the original $61.98 they owe me for not delivering the flowers, I will see that removed in 7 business days.
I have always used FTD and should have continued to. They work very well with local florists and have delivered flowers to my mother (and other rural family members) numerous times with no problems ever. Florist Express / Pro Flowers continuously refuses to transfer me to a supervisor, has never apologized, and has been completely rude to deal with. Every call lasts a minimum of an hour with no resolution. On top of having no flowers for Mother's Day, I am fighting to get my money back. I think they are a scam and a rip-off company.
My 17 year old daughter in Connecticut wanted to surprise me on Sunday (the actual day) with a beautiful, expensive bouquet of flowers that they charged her extra for the Sunday delivery. Here is what actually happened. I received a call Friday night from a man with In Your Dreams Florist and Gifts in Spring, Texas, saying he was trying to deliver a plant to me. He could not find my address (my street is three blocks long). I stood out in the street for one hour looking for him. I finally called him back and he said he gave up.
The next day a plant was left for me. My daughter said it should have been flowers and I should have gotten them on Mother's Day. She was so upset. She called the flower place on Saturday and they said orders got confused and my flowers would be delivered on Sunday. They never came. So, I called the florist in Spring, Texas, and they said that the delivery was done and to leave them alone and that the plant was a "European Bouquet." They were very mean and lied.
I contacted floristexpress.net (888-444-1922) and they apologized and said they would never use that florist again and that my flowers would be re-delivered the following Saturday. Today, the florist in Spring, Texas, called and said they were going to deliver on Friday and I needed to be there to give the plant back.
I called floristexpress.net and they told me that they would find another florist to deliver the flowers and apologized again. Then an hour later floristexpress.net called back and said if I wanted my flowers I had to use that florist and give the plant back on Saturday. Then they said that the plant had better be in perfect condition or they would charge the original credit card for it too. The plant arrived with black on a lot of the leaves so I think they are going to charge for it too.
Both the florist and the internet company have lied repeatedly and at this point I think I am a victim of a great big scam. I received the wrong item, on the wrong day (even though my daughter paid a premium for the Sunday delivery) and was charged for something much more expensive than what I received and now they want to charge me for the plant. They refuse to refund any money. Please help! I was in tears on Mother's Day because they were so rude. Please do not let these companies continue to ruin a person's special day!

5 Books About Money
When it comes to money, there is much to be learned (and much of interest!).
If you hit the bookstores looking for financial advice, or just books about wealth itself, check out the following. There is much to be learned, and much of interest, in what these authors and subjects have to offer.
The Practical Drucker
Basically, William A. Cohen boils down the great management thinker's concepts into digestible, pithy adages that seem to be batty, but have won big in the corporate world. Ahead of his time, Drucker anticipated most of what businesses assume as SOPs today. Well worth your time!
The Frackers
No—this book has nothing to do with Battlestar Gallactica. It's all about shale and extracting oil and natural gas, and making billions out of the operation. To me, it sounds totally ludicrous to drill like this, and there has been much controversy regarding the practice, but Gregory Zuckerman's book is about bang and buck—quite literally.
Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products
Honestly, everyone's read the Steve Jobs bio (anyone who wants to do so, that is). Leander Kahney's book is about the knight—um, literally—who designs the products you have in your bag, at home, or in hand. This is about how to make things, technically, but it's inextricably linked, honestly, to dollars: Let's not forget that Apple has more money in the kitty with Siri than the U.S. government.
Lean In: Woman, Work, And The Will To Lead
Sheryl Sandberg—you might know her from that famous TED Talk—probably makes the glass ceiling and corporate culture, from a female perspective, more relatable than anyone else out there. I'll let the book do the rest of the talking, though, as, really, I'm a dude, and, seriously— what do I know (apart from what I learned in this book)? Hey, I recommend it over In My Shoes, though, for sure.
How To Fail At Almost Anything And Still Win Big
Dilbert author Scott Adams brings me (and many others) hope with this gem. After reading it, you'll be leaning to one side, repeating over and over again: "I'm dying of truth!" Really, financial success stories such as his are the fonts of entrepreneurial vigor: Try, try, try again, and you will make it. Big.

"I am a cradle Catholic and my husband of eight years just went through RCIA this Easter. Praise the Lord! His conversion was due, in large part, to your show and the awesome answers of Tim Staples, Jimmy Akin, and the rest of the gang. Your show has helped me, my now husband, grow deeply in love with the Church."

A storm like Super Typhoon Haiyan is very unlikely in Hawaii, the National Weather Service in Honolulu said on Friday.
"We look for our maximum possibility to be a Category 4 storm. So winds of 195 miles an hour, probably not theoretically possible this far north in the central Pacific," said Mike Cantin, warning-coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
Click here to watch Justin Fujioka's report.
He said a storm like Hurricane Iniki, with winds of 140 miles per hour, is about as strong as we'll see in the islands. It's more than enough to cause mass destruction, according to Cantin.
But if a storm like Haiyan were to hit Hawaii, Cantin said, "Winds closer to 200 miles per hour sustained with higher gusts, with our terrain funneling some of those, it would be damage like we could almost not possibly imagine to, whether it's a high-rise or a single-family home. It would damage just about everything."
If you're trying to contact loved ones in the Philippines, the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu said to contact its office. For updates, it suggests checking the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council website.

Auction of jailed Iowa broker nets more than $1M
An auction featuring items belonging to a former Iowa investment broker accused of orchestrating a $200 million fraud scandal has netted more than $1 million.
The Des Moines Register reports Friday that at least 900 bidders competed for more than 1,100 items belonging to Russell Wasendorf Sr. The items included an extensive wine collection and a 1957 Ford Thunderbird.
The newspaper reports the money raised during the Wednesday auction will be used to help Wasendorf's fraud victims.
The former CEO of Peregrine Financial Group pleaded guilty in September to misspending investor funds over a 20-year period at his Cedar Falls-based brokerage.
Sentencing hasn't been set.

Every year Wigs.com participates in bringing awareness about breast cancer by participating in the Susan G. Komen, Race for the Cure. We care very much about this cause and were more than happy to attend and support in any way possible.
The truth is a lot of people wear wigs because they have to, due to cancer or other illnesses. And seeing everyone participate and come together reinforced why we do what we do. Our goal has always been to provide an outstanding customer service experience and beautiful wigs for people who want and need them. Several of our team members have lost loved ones to cancer, so it was a wonderful feeling to run and support them.
Susan G. Komen Dallas - 2012 Race for the Cure
We had a blast participating and handing out goodies to our fellow runners. Our pink gorilla was quite popular at the race. Check out our pictures below, you'll feel like you were there with us!
All of the pink wigs you see here are available at Wigs.com. Check them out and take your pink!

Inclusive Adolescence Education
The inclusive adolescence education major will prepare you as a highly capable, ethically responsible teacher with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach all students effectively.
Dual Certification in Adolescence and Special Education
We believe all teachers should be equipped to teach all students, so as an undergraduate education candidate, you will work toward dual certification in general education and special education.
The inclusive adolescence education program results in certification in Adolescence Education (grades 7–12) in a chosen content area with Middle School Extension (grades 5–6) and Students with Disabilities (grades 7–12) Generalist. (A generalist is certified for employment as a supporting teacher for students with disabilities in content areas other than the your major area of study.)
Dual Major Advantage
As an inclusive adolescence education major, you will earn a Bachelor of Science in Inclusive Education and you will also complete a second major in one of the following content areas:
- American Studies
- Biology
- Chemistry
- English
- French
- History
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Spanish
Our dual major requirement means that you will earn a content-area major that is identical to the content major of a non-education student. In other words, if you major in inclusive adolescence education and English, you will graduate with the same English major that non-education majors earn, leaving your career choices wide open.
Fisher's Educational Experience
The programs of the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education were designed from the outset to be content-rich, clinically-grounded, and intentionally reflective.
In other words, you will learn more than just "how" to teach. You will learn the "what" that you are going to teach. Much of your learning will take place in actual K-12 school settings, working with children and young people throughout the program to hone your teaching skills. You will also have many opportunities to explore connections between your coursework, your field experiences, and your development as a teacher.
Additionally, as early as your first semester of freshman year, you'll have access to a dedicated education candidate advisor who can help you create a long-term plan to meet all your major and degree requirements.
Program Requirements for Inclusive Adolescence Education
The Undergraduate Catalog contains the most current Inclusive Adolescence Education Program Requirements.

XXI Hotel Quinta do Lago Amateur Golf Challenge
The 21st Hotel Quinta do Lago Amateur Golf Challenge, held from the 22nd to the 29th October of 2016, is the perfect opportunity for golfers of all levels to challenge fellow guests on Algarve's finest greens and together enjoy entertaining evening social events, during 7 days of joyous competition.
This year's event will have some small changes to the format and course selection, with the introduction a more social and leisurely round and a reduction in the number of rounds devoted to the Single Stableford competition, as suggested by some of our past attendees.
The Amateur Golf Challenge will also continue to assume a special social role, so on behalf of each participant of the tournament, a 100€ donation will go towards the local organisation "ACCA Kids", which helps children in need in the Algarve.
As always, prizes will be awarded during the closing gala dinner to overall winner, best overall gross score and both men and ladies players with most net stableford points over the 2 competition rounds, as well as other small challenges throughout the competition. If a player beats the odds and scores a hole in one, a very special award is awaiting and the traditional round of drinks for everyone at the clubhouse bar is on the hotel!
For more information or reservations, please contact our sales department through the telefone (+351) 289 350 450 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com

Scouting Report: Tony LaRussa's Comedic Skills
I'm a comedian.
And like everyone else, I too, am a critic.
So let's see what TLR can do:
1. Delivery: Bit of a rambler; needs to get to the punchline quicker; could vary vocal inflection for nuance. (Grade: C+)
2. Audience Control: Didn't let the ump get one word in. (Grade: A)
3, Timing: Average; nothing spectacular; good thing his focus is managing a World Series bound baseball club featuring the grandest player (and subsequent man-crush of the masses) in the game today. (Grade: C)
No worries, Tony. Leave the jokes to me. You go get us that ring.
And don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Happy Friday!
4 Comments
TLR is like the Eugene Levy of baseball managers….just a lot less funny. (?)
Would it hurt the guy to crack a smile once every 7 years?
Mike, and less the glasses… but I get your point. Who would be molesting the pie in this case then? LOL.
He should definitely leave the jokes to you, but not sure buying all those cereal boxes to get enough free rings for the players will be time well spent….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter, you kid because you care… I'm sure. Sorry, but the Philly buck stops in 2010. STL all the way!

DMA's Lennon - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 10:49pm
VIDEO: Interview with DMA's Leigh Ann Lennon
Delaware Military Academy's Leigh Ann Lennon is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Leigh Ann averaged over 10 points a game in wins over St. Andrew's, St. Thomas More, and Red Lion Christian last week.
Leigh Ann checks in under six feet, but says she works hard for her nearly 9 rebounds a game.
"It gets tough on the inside, but I'm one of the tallest girls on the team so I have to sacrifice that and be the one to get beat up in the middle. It's tough, but we do it."
DMA is just five years removed from a 1-20 season, and Leigh Ann says she can see the differences from that team to the 11-2 squad of today.
"At practice we're definitely a lot more motivated. We know that every other school is looking at DMA and saying 'wow, we need to beat this team." At practice we're just pushing each other and working harder, and it's paying off.
One result of her team's efforts has been a changed role for Leigh Ann, who once averaged nearly 16 points a game, but now can focus on other parts of her game.
"Before I've been the scorer of the team, but now we have Renada (L'italien), she's scoring almost twenty points a game. I think my role right now is defense."
The senior says she's probably playing her last season of varsity-level basketball, but Leigh Ann says she hopes to nurture an interest in speech pathology.
"A lot of my younger cousins and siblings have been through speech therapy, so I know it's a field that needs people."

Arson cases on Oahu are on the rise.
The Honolulu Fire Department said 12.9 percent of residential fires were intentionally set last year, up from 7.4 percent in 2011.
Firefighters and the Honolulu Police Department are asking the public to keep their eyes and ears open.
"Anyone who witnesses suspicious activities such as persons fleeing the scene of a fire should contact the police and provide physical descriptions and vehicle descriptions if possible," said Honolulu Police Department Captain Richard Schaab.
Honolulu Fire Department Battalion Chief Socrates Bratakos said, "If you think that there is something fishy, that this might have been an intentional fire, help us when we come around and ask you questions."
Honolulu city prosecutor Keith Kaneshiro said, "Cases would not be successfully prosecuted had witnesses not come forward and gave us information."
Kaneshiro said arson is punishable by a mandatory 20 years and that it's a much more serious crime than many think.
"Property crime escalates to a crime that puts people in danger and have killed people," said Kaneshiro.
An elderly man died in a Liliha house fire in 2011 and an elderly woman was killed in a Pearl City blaze last year.
And firefighters said the danger doesn't end when the fire's out.
"Let's say that the structure is what we term a black hole, it's burned, it's damaged. It's still off gassing, what we call off gassing, said Honolulu Fire Department Captain Jeff Hooker. "There's still toxic chemicals, toxic odors that we have to protect ourselves against as investigators."
It's currently National Arson Awareness Week and this year's theme is "Reducing Residential Arson."


text: My son was born at 28 weeks and spent 3 months in the NICU. When he came home I tried to breastfeed but he wasn't making enough diapers, so I had to supplement. I went to an IBCLC who diagnosed him with channel palette from intubation at birth. Right now I am nursing with a shield, supplementing with a SNS or bottles, and pumping when I can to try and maintain my supply. Is there any hope of exclusively breastfeeding with his channel palette or will I always have to supplement?

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!! Jason Schmidt gets a win!
Jason Schmidt wins a game! The last time Jason Schmidt got a win was two years ago! Do I remember it? Heck no! it was tooo long ago. I do remember his last ugly loss against the Angels.
The final score was 7-5 with Schmidt giving up 3 in the 1st inning. Schmidt looked like was going to come out in the In the first inning, but he survived! . As bad an inning as the Dodgers had, the Red had a worst one. It looked like it was going to be a long night at the ballgame when at the end of the first inning it was 4-3.
Congratulations to Jason Schmidt on his first win! I'll await for his second start with my fingers and toes crossed. Good luck!
Speaking about luck,Randy Wolf really needs to get some run support so good luck Lobito!
I could not post earlier and now that the computer is working I got to go sooon. I will be sitting in the field level closer to the visiting bullpen using the company seats.tonight.

Your lucky charms really, I mean REALLY worked. The run support was awsome…..12. We must of had a full moon cause WOLF was great. Well we need more lucky charms for Manny. It would really suck if he can't play on his bobble head night. Hopefully he is doing fine and it is nothing serious. Have fun at tonights game!
Lucky charms are good. Kinda like my Rays bear! I also have a lucky hat that I wear when the Red Sox and Yankees play each other!
Yeah! My lucky charms worked! I like how Wolf looked with his stirrup socks. He does not usually do that but he was trying to change his luck. I like players to do that, they look nice🙂.
I hope Manny plays on his BBH day. I need to leave work earlier because of the sellout. 9 games ahead of Colorado and the Giants in 3rd! Woohoo!
Yes, take the lucky charms. I won't need them until the next time El Lobo pitches🙂 When I saw the score that the Red Sox had lost and the Yankees won, I though about you and Jane.
So when the Red Sox and Rays play each other, do you root for not such a bad beating? I have two rally bras, blue of course🙂
Thanks TC! Chad Billinsgley will again to go for that illusive #10 win against Bronson Arroyo.
I want t0 see a good game. There is a 2 game series next week. I'll have both my hat and bear. The only time I have major issues is the extremely rare match up of Kazmir and Beckett. It has happened. Then I have no idea what to do! I usually go nuts by the 3rd inning. I love this game!
do you kids love the game as much or as close as you do?
Amy's coming along. She will watch the whole game, and don't get in her way of her "Derek Jeter got a hit" dance – she'll trample you! She's asked for a Yankees hat for her birthday. I need to get videos of Amy doing her dance or singing NY NY in the morning, it's priceless!
Colin only watches if Evan's batting. He's learning the names of the players and their numbers. He knows the team logo. He gets excited about winning, and accepts a loss if Evan has a good game.
OH Ginny! I just love that story about your kids! I can just picture Amy doing her dance and Colin watching the game with you, but videos would be awesome.
