VCU School of Social Work Research Vision
Building socially just communities by working together to increase knowledge that shapes innovative solutions.
Virginia Commonwealth University's position as a top 50 public research university means faculty are supported in their scholarship, whether they are working individually or with other faculty members. The VCU School of Social Work offers a mentorship program that encourages researchers to have a mentor within the school, elsewhere in the university and at the national level.
Research collaborations at VCU cut across departments and schools throughout the university and include partners around the world. Many of our research projects, which receive funding from federal, state, local and foundation sources, involve community-based and community-engaged activities with individuals and organizations across Richmond, the U.S. and the world.
By teaming with a wide range of collaborators and field sites, our faculty members find that they begin to think in different ways and gain new perspectives on their work.
The VCU School of Social Work faculty tackles research that concerns a wide range of ages and populations, studying and working with young mothers and their children, adolescents and adults. Research topics cover a broad spectrum that includes child well-being, mental health/substance abuse, neurobiology, services and treatments, and international populations.
Whether they are creating new knowledge, evaluating practice or researching policy, our faculty members ask critical questions to address the most important social issues of our time. It's how we continue to shape the future of our field.

hosted by Chris Eggleston Stop Wasting Money on Marketing!! Subscribe In iTunes More Episodes Stop Wasting Money on Marketing!! In this episode, I'm frustrated about failure. Your failure. And it's because what you're doing isn't working and you don't know why. You're likely doing the same marketing strategies as your competitors and everybody else that uses Google. […]
Why Your Workshops and Webinars Might Not Convert
I'll share a story of something that just happened. I was in a workshop and I was so frustrated by the lack of value and expertise available from the presenter that I took over her meeting!
Hack: Use Live Streaming to Test Your Webinars
In the episode, I'm finally delivering on a hack I promised a few episodes ago. Ultimately I want to help you identify a way to use live streaming to test your webinars, calls to action, product market fit, and audience interest.
What they might not have told you about their success!
In this episode, I expose the real reason these successful internet marketers have so much success every time they launch a new product or service. And it's often not part of the story they tell and people are wondering why they're not having the same success.
Turning Your Website into a Media Platform
On today's episode, I'm going to go a little further into a topic I am repeatedly discussing with my clients and others who come to me for advice. More than ever it's easier to use a 3rd party platform to host your content and as a result, too many people are giving up control of their content to these other platforms.
Are You Building an Army of Users?
In today's episode, I discuss two of those brilliant growth hacking strategies that led to mass-adoption and why it worked so well. Specifically, I'll discuss Mailbox, later acquired by Dropbox and Hotmail, later acquired by Microsoft.

The Master's Degree in Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) is a full-time two-year program offered at Vietnamese German University (VGU) by Technical University of Darmstadt (TUD) – GERMANY since 2012.
The program was successfully accredited by ACQUIN, a leading independent accreditation agency in Germany.
The program has sought to provide Vietnamese and International students with specialized knowledge and skills to successfully fill in the role of urban practitioner in governmental, non-governmental and private sectors and with a wide array of expertizes involving economic, social and environment.
Since the academic year 2016 - 2017, SUD Study Program will be held at HCMC TEG Building (307A Nguyen Trong Tuyen Street, Ward 10, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City).
Since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, sustainability is a principle for any development in the world. Sustainable development means attaining a balance between human economic, social and cultural development as well as environmental protection and between present and future needs. That comprises equity in development and sectoral actions across space and time and requires an integration of economic, social and environmental approaches towards development.
Urban development – a multidisciplinary task: Urban practitioners have to meet complex problems
Segregation, demographics, traffic, and climate are only some of the main objectives cities have to deal with. Besides, the economical profit and loss of urban development should be distributed fairly.
Vietnam's economy for example has experienced rapid growth which also affects the urban and rural development. According to a 2008 forecast by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vietnam may be the fastest-growing of the world's emerging economies in 2025. At the same time, the Vietnam demographics profile shows a fast growing population as well as a rate of urbanization of 3 % per year. This results in social and economical disparity as well as the requirement of a sustainable handling of resources. These functional, economical, social and ecological demands assign urban practitioners for new tasks. As a consequence, they need a broad education in sustainable urban development and related sciences, economical sciences, as well as sciences related to infrastructure.
Urban development – instruments needed
To analyze, measure, balance and assess the situation as well as to make a decision, urban practitioners need to be able to handle different instruments of urban development. Spatial data modelling as well as real estate appraisal models, empirical methods and traffic analysis are some of those instruments the students are introduced to.

"Why on Earth would we release our best player? Is our roster so star-studded to have that luxury? Do we have tons of young talent not being utilized? Boobie and Sessions are not the answers. They proved that last year. So who's going to show Irving the ropes? Davis has grown up a lot and is finally a true leader. I can't say that for any other player on the Cavs roster. He might finally be fully healthy this year and, if his head is in the game, watch out. This guy can ball. If you want to waive someone, waive Jamison or Boobie. They are way overpriced and do not contribute enough." - Kridda from Oregon

The idea that ministers could even consider lifting unions' immunity from being sued over disruptions is perhaps a measure of how far things have moved. It is therefore fitting that the Institute of Employment Rights, a left-wing think-tank, should publish what it calls "the most comprehensive review of employment law issues in this country for at least 30 years".
At 350 pages long, it is hard to argue with that claim. Working Life: a new perspective on labour law is packed with proposals to strengthen legal protection for workers and to set minimum standards at work, based on the principles of justice, fairness and democracy.
The report, which has been two years in the making, has had input from leading lawyers, academics and trade unionists, including heavyweights such as John Hendry QC. It argues for a new framework of regulation for the workplace to comply with international labour conventions, and calls for Britain to play a full part in developing European social policy, and to comply with EC labour standards.
But the report has already hit a brick wall, with the Shadow Employment Secretary saying that he refuses to return "to an era of impossible demands". Although David Blunkett said he had not studied the report in detail, it seemed to him "to be a combination of detailed research on the one hand and a 'wish list' on the other".
Even the TUC would not be drawn. A spokesperson said that "it would not be for the TUC to comment on the document" - but said it contradicted some of their proposals in "Your Voice At Work".
So has the institute overstepped the mark? Its director, Carolyn Jones, thinks not. "We are a think-tank, so we decided to think. It is up to the politicians to set limits."
Keith Ewing, the editor of the report and professor of public law at King's College, London, insists that the package "only seems radical because we have fallen so far behind. All we are trying to do is to rebuild the structures for collective bargaining which used to be in place and which exist in Europe today."
Among other things, the report calls for a statutory minimum wage, statutory holidays of four weeks a year, a limit of 48 hours a week at work and a statutory right to training, as well as a compulsory training levy on employers.
It argues for an extension to the current anti-discrimination legislation and for new initiatives to help workers with family responsibilities. There should be 18 weeks' maternity leave on full pay; four weeks' paternity leave on 90 per cent of salary and an additional 20 days' family leave for each parent with a child under school age.
As for recognition of collective bargaining purposes, the report recommends automatic entitlement for a trade union with the support of a prescribed number of workers in the bargaining unit. It should be lawful to take industrial action to persuade an employer to recognise a trade union, and lawful to take secondary action.
All current legislation relating to trade disputes should be repealed, and workers should be given the right to strike. Those who go on strike should not be found in breach of their contract, and should have protection from dismissal. It is for unions to decide whether to have pre-strike ballots, but the law should not require a ballot before a strike in support of a victimised trade union official, a unilateral variation of conditions by the employer, or refusal to cross a picket line.
All employment rights should apply from day one, except for cases of short-term service where a minimum threshold could apply. The proposals should cover all workers, but especially those working from home, and agency and casual workers.
Controversial? Yes. Radical? Maybe. But according to Keith Ewing, much of what the report recommends is taken for granted in other European countries, such as "the right not to be dismissed for taking part in lawful industrial action - a critical issue". In many countries, such as France, Germany, Sweden and Spain, the right to strike is protected in the constitution. And he thinks that it would be "unusual to find [another] country which prohibits all forms of secondary action".
None of which is likely to cut any ice with the Labour Party, which has already promised in its five-page document, "Building Prosperity", that there will be no blanket repeal of the Eighties legislation. There is little other flesh on the bones, except for a commitment to end age discrimination and the ban at GCHQ. Workers should have the right to be represented, and if a majority choose a trade union to represent them, there should be a legal obligation on the employer to recognise the union for limited collective bargaining purposes.
Meanwhile, the Government is considering further restrictions on existing employment law to prevent new recruits to small firms from making claims of unfair dismissal. This aversion to further regulation was echoed by John Stevens of the Institute of Personnel and Development. He was worried by the report's apparent assumption "that the whole of the employment relationship is based on law".
He said that most of the proposals in the report would add burdens on the employer "and make him think twice before taking anyone on". As for comparisons with European standards, Mr Stevens found them unhelpful since "the circumstances in much of Europe are not the same as here".
But perhaps employers and political parties should take note of a survey of 400 companies in 18 countries, which showed that after the Hungarians, British workers emerged with the lowest morale. Couple that with the longest working hours in Europe and the highest divorce rates, and it may be time to take a long, hard look at workers' rights in Britain today n

A fantastic experience
By far the most popular activity to engage in when coming to the Karimunjawa Islands is island hopping.
Hiring a boat from a fisherman and heading out to the islands to explore, snorkel and take photos of the magnificent beaches and crystal clear water is a fantastic experience. The outlying islands really are incredible and there is some great snorkelling and diving to be had, but be aware that many of the reefs suffer from coral bleaching, meaning of course that much of their colour has disappeared.
The fish are still present, however, and their colour and diversity is quite wonderful. Popular islands to visit include Cemara Besar and Kecil, Menjangan Besar and Kecil as well as Pulau Geleang and Pulau Burung, where white-bellied sea eagles can be spotted.
Boats can be hired through your guesthouse or at the dock directly for 300,000 rupiah for a five-hour journey to a few of these islands. The prices are totally flexible and you may end up paying more or less depending on a range of factors including whether it's peak season and how many passengers you wish to transport.
Snorkelling gear can usually be organised by the boat captain for an additional 30,000 rupiah per person.

It is a great organization with a clear cut purpose. Its employees often hold that same vision to help ones who are less fortunate or have fallen victim to some type of calamity. They have a very clear, regimented structure (like the military) which people can identify their role and what they would like to do. Training is very structured and their is clearly laid out career plan and progression track for those that work within the organization. This formal structure sometimes causes people to forget about the individual because everything is so systematic.
Long hours and poor compensation, especially at the local chapter level.
Advice to Management
Attempt to work with Red Cross on a corporate level to improve compensation at the chapter level. With that you will be able to hire better staff.
Helpful (1)
The mission of the Red Cross is a noble one and it feels good to be working towards the stated goals. Employee appreciation is high.
Similiar to many of the downsides of any non-profit.....low salary, job growth is limited, what's more, there is no clear path of career development. While it's nice to get a lot of pats on the back, it's not so nice never getting raises because the organization doesn't have funding.
Advice to Management
Institute more practices from the private sector. Forgo some of the "feel good" sessions for an increase in efficiency and performance based rewards.
Helpful (4)
Overall Mission and dedication of line staff is inspiring. These people keep the organization going despite the mismanagement at the top. As in any organization people resist change, but in this case it is warranted because the proposed changes are usually ill informed.
Revolving top management continues to disappoint, with decreasing competence. Significant change is required to save the business, and new regimes fail to study the situation before they enact solutions, which are always misdirected. Any employee with any seniority is seen as part of the problem, and therefore is discounted, ignored or displaced.
Advice to Management
Step back and truly analyze the situation and solutions, forget about the DC Beltway mentality

I saw Mysterious Island as I love the story and have a soft spot for the 1961 film. I was dubious as it was SyFy, whose standard of movies generally are nothing to write home about, however even for SyFy Mysterious Island is an abomination. Other commentators have said that it is very loosely based on the book, and they are right. I wasn't expecting much different on that angle, because from their adaptations of Earthsea and Journey to the Center of the Earth I knew that the only resemblance to the original story was going to be either the title or the characters' names. The problem is that Mysterious Island doesn't just fall down as an adaptation, it falls down on its own merits as well. The story here is very dully paced, and due to lack of any real tension or thrills it is very uninteresting as well. The characters are not as interesting either, a lot of them are clichéd and not much is done to develop them. Even Nemo's back-story is rushed and convoluted, almost as if done in reference. The dialogue is often corny with SyFy, but not in a while have I heard dialogue that was so unbearably so that you have a hard time taking anything seriously. The acting is poor, with a stiff uncharismatic Lochlyn Munro, a pretty but vapid Gina Holden and an all too brief Pruitt Taylor Vince. The production values I have no better news I'm afraid. Not much is done to make them authentic with the furs sometimes looking as though they were actually made of straw, also further undermined by the sights of modern technology like air vents when the mansion was built on an island supposedly without electricity. The special effects are laughable, with the octopus belonging more at home in a cheap video game and the shaggy creatures were as scary as someone dressing up for a Halloween party. All in all, terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Catholic schools agree to reduce classes
Falling numbers of pupils prompts review of form one numbers
Sister Mary Lucy Chung, supervisor of Immaculate Heart of Mary College
ucanews.com reporter, Hong Kong
Hong Kong
March 2, 2011
Thirty-two Catholic high schools have joined a government-proposed voluntary scheme to reduce one out of five form one classes in the next academic year that begins in September. The education bureau announced that 202 out of the 226 high schools that run five form one classes in the territory had applied as of February 25, the deadline for the scheme. On average, a local school has 35 students in one class. In view of 30 percent forecast drop in high school enrollment, a press release of the Catholic Education Office says that the diocese as a major school sponsoring body running 87 high schools here agrees the scheme after serious consideration. A positive response can ensure the continuation of schools of various cultures to cater the different needs of students, it says. "If we do not respond positively, 100 schools in Hong Kong will have to close down and about 5,000 teachers unemployed, which also means 5,000 families being affected," said Dominic Chu Fu-yau of the Catholic Board of Education. The Immaculate Heart of Mary College is one of the participating schools. "Our management board is aware of the downward trend since 2009 and the situation is especially serious in Shatin district where we are," said Sister Mary Lucy Chung, school supervisor. "School principals in the district have discussed and explored solutions together as no one wants to see some schools have to disappear suddenly," said the sister of Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows. Other educators and parents are also concerned about the impact of the scheme. "We used to allot students into different classes according to their learning abilities but the scheme would squeeze students together without regard to their needs, said Mary, a Catholic teacher. "How to keep their schools from being killed" is a crucial issue for all principals as there will be at least 6,000 students less by September, said another veteran Catholic educator. Parents may misunderstand that reducing class means the school has dropped its quality and no one wants to study. In order not to turn the educational sector into a "killing field," all Catholic schools should face the difficulty together to help the survival of those schools that are already encountering insufficient enrollment, he said.

Diamond plates are common material in industry and commercial setting. Although the plates have distinct patterns, they are not considered to be aesthetic marvel. They are widely used because of their non-slip capabilities, easiness to clean and versatility
Diamond plates are also known as tread plates, checker plates or durbar floor plates. They are types of lightweight metal stocks with regular patterns of raised lines on one side or diamonds, with the opposite side being dull. Diamond plates can be steel, aluminium or stainless steel. Steel plates are usually made by hot rolling, though modern producers are also making raised and pressed diamond designs. They are used for example in Ford F-150's.
They can also be used as decorative objects especially with high polished variants. These elegant panels add instant drama that leaves an attractive and lasting impression. They are also stain, impact and water resistant at cheaper prices as compared to other panels. They are also durable and timeless. They can be installed in any room as they are perfect in offices, garages or utility rooms. They are available in different multiple styles and finishes in the market
Industrial rooms in processing plants may become dirty, dusty or bloody. Tread plates allow workers to safely walk among workstations dues to non-slip properties. The floor can also be cleaned up without using expensive solvents or tools. If a worker drops an item, it can be easily distinguished from the tread plates. Tile or carpets may hide items because of the colours and cracks between the floor sections
The additional texture reduces the risks of slipping. This property makes them appropriate for ambulance. Using checker plates is a good solution for walkways, ramps, stairs and catwalks in an industrial setting. It has non-skid properties which make them appropriate to be used on the footplates of fire truck or the interior of and ambulance. Other applications that diamond plates may be used include trailer floors and truck beds. It is also widely used in corrosive environments like science labs. Manufactured in plastics, diamond plates are found in the market as interlocking tile system which is installed on exercise rooms, trailers and garage floors. You can find a bunch of Aluminum Diamond Plates for Sale at SizeMetal.com. They even accept Bitcoins!
Colleges, schools or universities may install tread plates as flooring in classrooms or parking ramps. They are durable enough to resist or withstand repeated abuse in metal or woodworking courses. If a tools is dropped on the floor, the floor won't be severely damaged to need a replacement. Tread plates have raised ridges which prevent students from falling or slipping.

That being said, I still can't live without the feel and look of pen on paper. And I think that's what's been slogging me down with all this synopsis writing rigamarole (isn't that a fun word?). The creative process doesn't work as well for me by simply typing words. I need to draw out a plot. Literally. Draw.
Seeing a story in picture form, at least it's bare elements, makes much more sense in my head than seeing it typed out. I'm not talking sketch worthy art pieces or even little stick figures. Just the act of drawing a mountain shape on a paper and organizing major plot points on that line gets the ol' juices flowing.
Writer takeaway value of the day...get out your Crayolas. It's okay if you need to color to get a story right. I just gave myself permission, so here's yours. Go for it.
And if you'd like me to post your picture, send it to me.

A (new to me) workout
I've gotten a bit behind in keeping up the workout logs. I also enjoyed the Bradley vs. Illinois baseball game (though BU lost 8-6, it was a very entertaining game featuring towering home runs, good fielding plays and yes, even good pitching (2 innings anyway; first inning saw 5 strike outs between the two pitchers).
3 of the home runs (2 by Illinois, 1 by Bradley) went further than the white fence in the distance; 1 was actually over it.
Workout notes Yesterday: it was pouring rain so I went on the home treadmill: 20:38 for 2 miles. then 4 x (2 minutes hard, 6 minute walk), 2 x (1 minute hard, 3 minute walk) which got me to 3.5 miles (past the original 2) so I walked for 10 minutes outside.
Those 2 minute repetitions just about killed me; I didn't look at the pace, but these were "knee lift" runs at, say, "mile run" intensity. Those hurt; in the second minute I felt the heavy legs. Those 6 minute recovery walks felt shorter than they were.
Today: I slept in and worked out after my 9-10 class:
rotator cuff
pull ups (5 sets of 10)
incline press: 10 x 135, 5 x 150, 4 x 150 (very strict)
military: 20 x 50 seated, supported (dumbbells), 10 x 45, 10 x 45 standing
rows: 3 sets of 10 x 110 machine.
Then a 2 mile run: 2-2-2-2 warm up; then I went to 6.7 (at 8 minutes) to .75 miles and then every .25 I went up: 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1 then 7.2 for the final seconds.
10:37/19:17 were the mile splits. I finished with 2.08 miles; last 1.367 took 12 minutes (8:46 pace, 8:37 for mile 2)
Note: the back is still a bit sore.
resting and more baseball
I wondered if I was getting rundown so I went to the Forest Park Nature Center (left from the Heights tower) and walked 2:12 (about 7 miles). Normally I don't doubt the distance but this time Wakerobin was closed. So I took Deer run back to Possum Path to the Valley, then to Bee Tree to Cardinal, back to Valley and then to Wilderness (1:05 which is about my outer loop time) Spurs: 23:16 out, about 27 back (uphill..and tired).
Then it was time for some baseball. Bradley beat Illinois 8-6 to win the series 2-1. Of interest was the fielding. One one hand, 4 errors (3 in a 2 innings 5-6) kept ISU in the game. On the other hand, fielding saved the day. The center fielder made an "over the shoulder" catch on the warning track (near 400 feet) with 2 out and the bases loaded, and the first baseman made some great plays too.
A 2 run home run in the bottom of the 8'th provided the winning margin.
A Political Science professor and his wife (also a Ph. D. in political science) sat next to me.
Fun with the mundane….
Yes, I ran a 5K this morning. And yes, I cut the grass for the first time in 2017. That wasn't fun, though I wanted to get a photo of the tulips for Barbara, who is in Cuba.
But I also saw something more gruesome: there were the remains of a bunny that became a meal for a predator. Nature…
No, the yard was not entertaining. But I did have dinner with a dear friend on Friday, and a different dear friend tonight. THAT was fun.
And there was Bradley baseball: it turns out that the starting pitcher and one of the relief pitchers were/are students of mine. Oh the game: that didn't go so hot; Bradley lost to Illinois State 9-4 based on the first inning (3 runs) and the 7'th (5 runs, all of which came AFTER 2 outs). ISU got 4 hits and 3 runs in the first and were more or less held in check for the next 5 innings. But the ISU starter struck out 7 in 5 1/3 innings.
The day was sunny but windy which made it chilly in the shade; note the fans seeking out the sunny areas.
For a few innings, I had the volleyball team sitting next to and around me (they came next to my seat when I went to the restroom between innings; they were seeking the sunny areas.
So, the loss aside, it was a fun weekend so far.
Dropping the ball for baseball…
I've disconnected a bit due to..well, baseball games. Tuesday night I saw the Chiefs lose to the Cedar Rapids Kernels 5-0.
The highlights were a couple of great outfield catches; one was just off of the ground and the other was over the shoulder.
Then last night I watched Bradley rally from 4-1 down in the 7'th inning to win 6-4, getting 2 in the bottom of the 7'th and 3 more in the bottom of the 8'th. The 8'th inning was really the key. The first batter singled and the coach put in a fast pinch runner. The next batter made an excellent bunt…but Iowa made a bad throw to first which lead to the fast runner rounding the bases to score and the batter to make it to 3'rd. Then the runner at third was singled in, and another double gave Bradley the padding it needed.
A crowd of 571 enjoyed the game.
I also came to notice that Bradley uses the third base dugout as the home dugout whereas the Chiefs use the first base dugout. It has to do where the respective clubhouses are.
I'll really OD on Bradley baseball, as there are 5 home games from Friday to Wednesday. I should make 4 of these (Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday).
Workout notes: PM: walk with the group; 3 miles. We lollygagged on the way out (27 minutes or so) and then on the way back, Tammy wanted to turn it up a bit; that only took 24 minutes for us.
AM: I slept in (Bradley games are usually about 3 hours; more scoring than in pro ball) So I worked out after my 9-10 class. I've got some catching up to do.
Weights: rotator cuff, pull ups (5 sets of 10: good), bench press: 10 x 135, 4 x 185, 9 x 170 (empty gym, basically), 10 x 135 incline, dumbbell military: 20 x 50 seated, supported, 10 x 45, 10 x 45, 3 sets of 10 x 110 machine rows. Then run: 20 minutes on the treadmill: 2-2-2-2-2 (5.2-5.6) then 2-2-2-2-1-1 (6.7-7.2) 10:57/8:40, 2.04 miles total.
Bodyweight: 195.7 before, 193.8 after.
Walk and Baseball…
Today was consumed by a 3:37 walk and a 2:40 baseball game, Indian dinner (plus a good hamburger) and writing up a statistics exam.
The walk:
It was similar to last week's walk, but slightly slower: 1:46 out (as opposed to 1:41:30 last time) and 1:48 (correcting for an extra loop; I was almost 1:52) back, as opposed to 1:41:30. But the 8 miles the day before did tire me out a bit. It was still an acceptable effort, if a slower one.
It was all but deserted; I saw two pairs of cyclists, one solo cyclist and perhaps 3-4 walkers total.
Then to the Bradley vs. Wichita baseball game; this time Wichita won 8-5 (so BU takes the series 2-1). Wichita had a 4 run 3'rd inning and Bradley could not quite close the gap. Each team hit 2 home runs.
It was a pretty day for a game though:
Barbara joked about "womanspreading"
One of Bradley's better crowds among the games I was able to make (they had more the day before).
6'th inning action.
A bit of everything in this game: Bradley 6, Wichita State 5
I got to the game at the top of the second when it was 1-0 WSU; I had a meeting and dinner with my wife first. But rain delay pushed by the start of the game (and kept attendance down a bit)
And this game featured a bit of everything. Through 5 innings we had seen (between both teams): 5 errors, 8 runs and 13 hits. Through the top of the 9'th, we stayed at 5 errors, 11 runs, 21 hits, one manager being ejected (for arguing a "step out of the batter's box strike call"), one apparent home run in which the hitter was called out as he passed the runner on base between first and second:
The Braves added an insurance run in the seventh when an apparent Ivelia two-run homer turned into a single and just one run scored when Ivelia passed Ian Kristan on the base paths and was called out.
And then came the 9'th: Bradley was up 6-4 and had two outs, when Wichita State hit two doubles in a row to pull to within 6-5, but a line drive was caught in center field to end the game. Whew…
One of the mothers of the player cheered …very …enthusiastically and yelled BOOM at just about anything Wichita State did (strike, routine ground ball fielded, etc.) Toward the end, some Bradley fans started to yell BOOM when BU did something..that made me giggle.
Workout notes: 4.2 Conrstalk classic walk in 56:44; 13:30 final mile. Not fast but not the usual slow stroll. I paid more attention this time.
Longish walks, regret, and baseball…
Today's walk: left the house at 7:15, walked down Cooper, Moss, Union, MLK, Kumpf, Rivertrail around the goose loop (20-30 meters are submerged), ball field fence loop (around the wall..mostly to visit the port-o-potty) then the bike path through the Cemetery to the northern gate. Touch the gate, double back.
VERY consistent: 1:41:43 out, 1:41:17 back for 13.8 miles at a 14:43 pace. That may not seem like much..ok, it is a slower pace than I averaged for a 100 mile walk in 2004…(OMG, I've slipped that much!) but it is the best "day after a 5K sort-of-long walk" I've done in a while. And, this was nowhere near a hard effort, though it was a deliberate, "pay attention to your walking" pace. If I can work up to adding 7-8 more miles at this pace with this effort, I should be ready for an "under the 6 hour time limit" walking marathon. And hey, I have 5 more months to go.
yes, the days of my just doing a marathon (or 50K) on a whim are long, long over.
Regret: I followed the progress of some of my friends doing a trail 30 mile (48 km)..McNaughton. Yes, I've finished several ultras on that course; the fall 30 4 different times, the spring 50K once, the 50 mile twice, the 100 mile twice. So, it isn't as if I haven't finished the race, but the reality is that after my 2010 knee surgery, I've had 3 very slow 30 mile finishes and two DNFs (once on a 30, once on a 50 ). Mud on the course just kills my knees, so signing up in advance doesn't work. And now-a-days, going in on a whim doesn't work either.
So, I miss it, though there is no reason I can't be a fair weather hiker or perhaps be a last minute sign up for a 30 IF I had a recent marathon under my belt …recent enough to have some conditioning under my belt but not so recent as to come in tired, as I did the last time (11 hours for the 30! that was humiliating)
So I saw the Bradley baseball game; good day for it. Bradley took a nice 2-1 lead off of two solo home runs. Milwaukee tied it and then came the 6-7-8'th innings where Milwaukee got most of their 14 hits and 3, 3 and 5 runs respectively. BU got 2 of them back in the 7'th…but the final was 13-4.
Small consolation but BU "won" the home run derby 3-2 though they did hit a spectacular 400+ foot shot to center.
One of the Bradley home runs made it to the dark SUV in this photo
Though I'd rather BU had won, it was a great day for a ball game. My wife is the redhead in the front row. There were 308 at this game. I attend many Chiefs games (one this afternoon) but I'll get my baseball fix at Bradley games until their home season ends.
Bradley Baseball Fun: 8'th inning explosion to defeat Milwaukee 11-5
We had a great day for it; sun and warmth…a bit of wind. Even better: a student I've had in class was pitching.
So what went down: Milwaukee opened with some ground ball hits and took a 1-0 lead. The lead grew to 2-0 in the 5'th though both pitchers were doing well. But in inning 5, Bradley got a walk, and the shortstop hit his first (of 2 total) home run to left field to tie the game.
Then came the 7'th when the Bradley pitcher, who was starting to tire, got 2 outs. But a botched play at first on a ground ball) kept Milwaukee alive, and then they cashed in ..eventually driving in a go ahead run. A reliever came in.
But in the bottom of the 7'th, Bradley got a lead off home run to tie the game at 3 (on the at bat where I took the photo).
Then Bradley held Milwaukee scoreless in the top of the 8'th, and then came an 8 run explosion in the bottom; this rally featured 3 home runs. It went from 3-3 to 11-3 very quickly.
Milwaukee rallied for 2 in the top of the 9'th (loaded the bases and got a hit) but BU finished the job.
All in all, this game had a bit of everything; pitcher's duel at first, then a ton of hitting.
Barbara went with me.
I kind of relaxed so Barbara did a "womanspread" to compete with my "manspreading".
I wanted a shot of the field; this came just before the home run which tied the game at 3.
Minor League Baseball and Friends: happy to let them go…
The Peoria Chiefs (low A, Midwest League) start up this month, but I'll spend most of my "baseball time" watching Bradley and pick up the Chiefs in May.
The Chiefs made the playoffs the past two years. But last year: by the time they got to the playoffs they weren't the same team; most of their good players had been promoted.
And that is how it goes in minor league ball: you start to get attached to a player and you want them to do well. But when they do well, they leave, as they well should. And though you miss seeing them, you are happy for them.
Sometimes, something similar happens to one's friends. A few weeks ago, my wife said "you probably won't be training with X now that they have a love interest that runs"…and my reply was "I hope not." She looked surprised, but then understood exactly what I meant.
Workout notes Weird. I still have a scratchy, "sometimes" cough and feel slightly weak; this is a continuation of what I had last week. But weights went very well:
rotator cuff, pull ups (5 sets of 10: strong)
bench press: 10 x 135, 4 x 190 (wanted to keep the hips down), 10 x 170 (strict)
military press: dumbbell, 10 x 50, 10 x 45, 10 x 45
rows: 3 sets of 10 x 110 machine
incline: 3 sets of 10 x 160 (45/35 on each side) Hammer machine
I tried to run…no dice, walked 5 miles outside instead. The gates to the hills of Bradley Park are now open; beautiful day but some traffic. I got shocked into picking it up on the way back..a young woman who was walking deliberately was gaining on me. My "mind wandering walk" is no longer fast; I have to be deliberate and concentrate.

In this poignant memoir, the hikers finally tell their story, recounting the deception that lured them into Iran and describing the psychological torment of interrogation and solitary confinement. Told through the interweaving of the author's three voices, here is a timeless portrayal of hardship and hope.

... started smoking. Julia and I were facing the line and were right in front of the guy. She glared at him (totally holding eye contact with him) and held her nose. Whoa! She is really giving it to this guy! Go Jules! The woman with him smiled at her and waved her hand in front of her face. Jules is not going to back down...still glaring.
Phew! They got seated before we left the restaurant! I was not looking forward ...

The final leg of our pass was a walk along the gorge to check out the rapids. The speed of the current was unbelievable you would never survive if you fell in - needless to say we were on red alert. With all legs of the pass completed we went back for another view of Niagara Falls you just cannot believe the volume of cascading water. You have to keep watching just in case it stops running. It does not!!

Check-out time was 11am, so we made the most of the room and stayed as long as possible, relaxing and watching the Olympics on tv. Once checked out, we left our bags in the hotel lobby for the day. Our coach to NYC doesn't leave until 12.45am (Monday morning) so we wanted to spend the day at the Falls before getting the bus to Buffalo to catch the overnight coach. ...

On both sides - Canadian as well as American - lots of sky scrapers, hotels and casinos have been erected, making the surrounding of the Falls appear like a small Las Vegas, bill boards advertising in huge letters visible across the countries, glamor and glitter everywhere.

I have no affiliation to the restaurants I write about, nor bear any ill will toward them. I am simply relating my experiences and opinions of the said venues. While I have good faith that any less-than-satisfactory dining experience may be a one-off experience, I stand by my words and will not seek to change them unless I am proven wrong. My focus often falls upon the restaurant's service staff and the food quality.
I do not see myself as a food critic, I believe my palette is not as developed to fulfill that role. Hence I do not give ratings, points or whatnots. I will relate to my experiences in the restaurants , a "review" if you may.
While we do attend the occasional media invited tasting session, the same critical eye for service standards and quality of food will be placed upon the establishment. Since it's generally understood that service standards will be unusually impeccable during a media session, we will apply a highly level of scrutiny to compensate where ever possible.

In the hours after a 44-year-old real estate agent was stabbed to death in Central Park last spring, one of the young suspects gave a series of rambling statements to the police in which she said that her friend had taken LSD and committed the crime after ''he just went nuts,'' according to court documents.
The girl, Daphne Abdela, 15, told the police that she had tried to save the agent, Michael McMorrow, attempting to give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation after he was stabbed. But she said her friend, Christopher Vasquez, who is also 15, shoved her aside and cut his throat.
''He just flipped out,'' Ms. Abdela told the police, according to the court papers. ''He just kept stabbing him. He sliced his throat.''
The crime, which occurred just after midnight on May 23, was one of the most shocking in recent memory in the city, given the location, the age of the suspects and the seeming lack of a discernible motive.Continue reading the main story
Prosecutors have charged Mr. Vasquez and Ms. Abdela, both students at private high schools in Manhattan, with killing Mr. McMorrow and dumping his body into the park lake. They also said the two teen-agers had gutted the body in an attempt to sink it.
Defense lawyers had asked Acting Supreme Court Justice Michael A. Corriero to keep Ms. Abdela's statements to the police sealed. But the judge decided yesterday to release the statements over the lawyers' objections. The New York Daily News had petitioned the court to get the statements released.
Mr. Vasquez had declined to speak with the police.
According to the police, officers initially responded to Ms. Abdela's apartment building after her father, a senior executive at a New Jersey food conglomerate, called to report her missing. When officers arrived, about 1 A.M., they found Ms. Abdela and Mr. Vasquez in a washroom.
''Why are you bothering us?'' she said, according to the statements. ''We didn't do anything. We fell Rollerblading. Look, I cut my head.''
The officers left, but the police later received an anonymous 911 call from the Abdela apartment. The caller reported that someone had fallen into the Central Park Lake and had not come out.
When the police returned to the building and questioned Ms. Abdela, she told them about the killing, according to the statements.
''I just witnessed a murder, man,'' Ms. Abdela said, according to the court papers. ''Mike Morrow. My friend Chris did it. I didn't tell you before because I was scared.''
Over the next seven hours, Ms. Abdela, who told officers she had been drinking heavily that night, gave the police an account of the attack. She said that she and Mr. Vasquez had gone to the park to drink beer, where they met Mr. McMorrow. Ms. Abdela said she originally met him two weeks earlier in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
Ms. Abdela told the police that Mr. Vasquez had taken LSD earlier in the night. ''He took acid and he just flipped out,'' she said.
''We were all drinking beer and having fun and Chris just snapped,'' she added later. ''Have you ever seen a person snap?''
Although Ms. Abdela said she did not know why the attack occurred, she speculated that jealousy might have been the motive.
''Chris kind of asked me to be his girlfriend and I kind of said yes,'' she said. ''Chris might have been jealous. That might have started it all.''
Later, she said: ''Mike put his arm around me and my boyfriend freaked out. Chris is my boyfriend.''
Ms. Abdela told the police that she helped dispose of Mr. McMorrow's body, and made a reference to the movie ''Silence of the Lambs.'' But she insisted that Mr. Vasquez committed the killing alone. ''He better take the heat for this, because he knows he did it,'' she said.
In her statements, Ms. Abdela tried to adopt a tough persona. But she also repeatedly asked detectives if they knew various police officers from the local precinct.
''I want to go home,'' Ms. Abdela told officers. ''I wish it were all a dream. I'd close my eyes and you wouldn't be here. That none of this would ever had happened.''Continue reading the main story

MOTOGP >>> news CLICK HERE....to learn more about American Green Technology (AGT) and their energy saving product line American Green Technology www.agtus.org firstname.lastname@example.com AGT Rea Racing use only AGT Induction to light their garage! • Mika Kallio has closed the Moto2 points lead to Tito Rabat to just seven points with a second win of the season at Le Mans. The Finn stalked For ward Racing's Simone Corsi early in the race and once in front, pulled away to win by 1s. Rabat gave the Marc VDS team a double podium finish with third place. "I started well and immediately pushed to make a gap, if I could, but after a few laps I saw that it wasn't possible," s aid Kallio. "When Corsi overtook me I decided to cool down and think about the best way to finish the race. "I learned a few things following him, then he started to struggle a little, maybe with rear grip, so I said, okay, now is the time to attack. After I found somewhere to attack I rode the next few laps at the limit and when I saw I had a one -second gap, the last laps were easier, though of course, it's never easy to win in Moto2." Maverick Vinales continued his strong rookie season with fourth ahead of Pons teammate Luis Salom. Jonas Folger, who took pole position, had a low-key ride to sixth. It is being called the greatest race in the history of Moto3 racing with a final lap that was simply enthralling. Aussie Jack Miller knew that the Honda of Efren Vasquez was quicker in a straight line (as were all the Hondas), so when he lost the lead on the straight, he took it right back at the next corner. Vasquez leaned, Miller leaned harder and took the win. Alex Rins took second from first time podium finisher Isaac Vinales. A clearly unhappy Vasquez was sixth, and took a swing at the race winner on the slow- down lap. Miller shrugged it off and stopped to do 'the worm' in one of the track's run- off areas. "Ididtohimwhathedidtome earlier in the race," M iller said after the race. "It's always great to win a battle. (I'm) really happy with the way the bike worked, can't complain about anything really. "A beautiful race and an awesome finish." Miller's main rival in the Moto3 points table, Romano Fenati, retired from the race with electronics problems at mid-distance, meaning that the Australian takes a 30 -point lead to Italy this week. Jack wins thriller Tally-ho, it's Kallio 17 GPWEEK.com // 17 GPWEEK.com // PARTNERS:

Brad Pitt joins Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Benedict Cumberbatch in a film that is already critically acclaimed -- "12 Years A Slave" -- and he opened up about the project to Ann Curry for a new "Today" show interview.
"It's one of those few films that cuts to the base of our humanity," Brad told Ann about the film, based on the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold into slavery.
Brad told Ann he "absolutely" plans to show his children the film, but not right now.
PHOTOS: Hot Shots Of Brad Pitt!
"Maybe my eldest I would [show it to] right now," he said. "I'd rather for the others to get a little bit older and understand the dynamics of the world a little more."
In the interview, set to air on Wednesday on "Today," Ann asked Brad about turning 50, a milestone he will hit in December.
PHOTOS: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
"So far I haven't minded a bit," he said of aging. "So I have no complaints."
Asked if he is "cool" with it, Brad said he hasn't put much thought into turning 50 just yet.
"Cool? ... I don't know. We'll see ... I'm busy right now so I haven't thought about it," he laughed.
