Comments Off on MD – Free Comic Book Day 2015
Free Comic Book Day 2015 is this Saturday at Cards, Comics & Collectibles – Baltimore County's Premiere Comic Book Store and the Official News Source of the Baltimore Comic-Con! You don't want to miss our amazing guests, giveaways, events, and FREE COMICS!
The full-day event kicks off with an awesome line-up of creators appearing at the store! Mark Waid, J.G. Jones, and Steve Conley will be all signing autographs at the store throughout the day.
The multiple Harvey and Eisner Award-winning Mark Waid has been the voice behind numerous issues, mini-series, and title runs that have resonated throughout comics fandom and the creative community alike. His acclaimed runs and series include DC Comics' The Flash, Kingdom Come, The Kingdom, JLA: Year One, JLA, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Superman: Birthright, Marvel Comics' Captain America, Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man, The Indestructible Hulk, Princess Leia, and Daredevil, BOOM! Studios' Incorruptible and Irredeemable, Archie Comics' The Fox, and Empire, originally published by Gorilla Comics and later by DC Comics. He also went on to become Editor-in-Chief and then Chief Creative Officer at BOOM! Studios, while continuing to work on freelance assignments for other publishers. Waid is one of the principals behind Thrillbent Comics, a digital comics initiative, where he also publishes titles such as In the Pi of the Beholder, Luther, Cthulhu Calls, If You're So Smart, and Insufferable. He is also featured in the 2015 FCBD title Dark Circle Comics from Archie.
Accomplished penciller, painter, and writer J.G. Jones has contributed his deft touch to a broad variety of titles and publishers. From Black Widow and Marvel Boy at Marvel Comics to Final Crisis and Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia and all covers for 52 at DC Comics, as well as Wanted at Top Cow, his work stands out among his peers.
Bloop by ConleyAward-winning designer, illustrator, and cartoonist Steve Conley has worked on such notable comics as Star Trek: Year Four (IDW), Michael Chabon's Amazing Adventures of the Escapist (Dark Horse Comics), and JLA-Z (DC Comics). Conley, who is also the creator of Astounding Space Thrills and the all-ages series Bloop (www.bloopstree.com), will be signing and sketching all day.
Jones and Waid will be releasing Strange Fruit, a fully painted title, in July of 2015 from BOOM! Studios, and Cards, Comics & Collectibles is amazingly fortunate to be able to offer a limited edition print from BOOM! Studios available only at our store to the first 500 people.
"Free Comic Book Day has grown to become such an important event – not just for retailers, creators, and fans – but for the comics industry as a whole," said Marc Nathan, owner of Cards, Comics & Collectibles. "We are delighted to have Mark, J.G., and Steve signing here! Add another fantastic slate of free comics, and this year is going to be our biggest yet!
Besides giving away free comic books, the store will have free Baltimore Comic-Con t-shirts to give away as well, and will offer 50% off modern back issues, trade paperbacks, and hardcovers.
Join us on Saturday, May 2, 2015 as events kick off at 11:00am with store signings and, of course, FREE COMICS!

text: DPS Asthma Program Search Clinical Trials Find a Researcher Order a Test The goal of this program is to improve asthma care for school children in urban and rural areas of Colorado. This program was initiated in January 2006 and funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Cancer, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease Program. Asthma control can be achieved by incorporating programs to monitor disease activity, establishing environmental control measures, and encouraging medication adherence including appropriate pre-treatment before physical activity. Asthma education is an integral part of asthma management. Therefore, it is important to educate children about appropriate asthma care, to oversee their asthma management, and to assist caretakers, school nurses and teachers in creating an asthma friendly environment. The aim of our program is to address these key areas and thereby minimize the impact of asthma on school performance, especially by focusing on those students with uncontrolled asthma. The expected benefit of our program is to improve quality of life and increase school attendance in children who participate in our asthma program. Additional benefits of the program include improved asthma surveillance in the schools, free asthma education for children and their families, free lung testing and interpretation by asthma specialists, improved asthma management at school, asthma educational opportunities for school nurses and ancillary staff, and access to Asthma Counselors who will assist the children and their families in asthma management to obtain health services. Our experience is based on introducing our program to 21 schools in the Denver Public School (DPS) System. It is currently known that from the 70,000 students enrolled in the DPS system, 3,492 reported having asthma in the last school year with 1,720 students in elementary schools, 899 in middle schools and 738 in high schools. Learn more about the DPS Asthma Program.

USC Drops Makeup Game At WSU 3-1
May 15, 2012
PULLMAN, Wash. - The USC baseball team lost a makeup game with Washington State 3-1 Tuesday afternoon at Bailey-Brayton Field. It is USC's fourth loss in as many days on a difficult road trip through the northwest. The Trojans fall to 22-25 overall (7-17 Pac-12) with the loss while the Cougars improve to 25-24 (10-14 pac-12).
The Cougars got on the board in the second as they strung together two doubles off Nigel Noootbaar (L 1-2) by Patrick Claussen and Jason Monda to take a 1-0 lead. Nootbaar then settled in for six impressive innings, allowing just three additional hits and no runs while striking out three.
Cougar's starter Joe Pistorese (3-3) tossed five shutout innings to improve take the win.
Freshman Wyatt Strahan took over in the eighth but after an infield single and a walk he would depart for Brad Dothit. Dothit was called for a balk and the runners would advance to second and third. Nate Blackham then delivered a two-run single to center to put Washington State up 3-0. USC went to the bullpen again for Matt Munson who entered to strike out Tommy Richards and got Ian Sagdal to roll out to second to end the inning.
The Trojans sent the middle of the order to the plate in the ninth as Matt Foat and Alex Sherrod reached on back-to-back singles. Brandon Garcia and James Roberts went down swinging on strikes leaving it up to freshman Dante Flores who singled to left to plate Foat for the Trojans first and only run. Anthony Drobnick retired Garrett Stubbs to end the game and earn his third save of the year.
The Trojans have now lost 15 of their last 18 games.
USC returns to action this Friday as they begin a weekend home series with Arizona at Dedeaux Field.

That expression is not necessarily zero, and that, of course, is why
Mathematica will not simplify the expression as you wish. However, if you
supply appropriate conditions, so that the expression is necessarily zero,
then you should be able to get the desired simplification. For example,
In[2]:= Simplify[Log[x^n] - n*Log[x], x > 0 && Element[n, Reals]]
Out[2]= 0

Desserts are not off-limits when you make these lightened versions of holiday favorites.
Bourbon-Pecan Tart with Chocolate DrizzleIndulge in this lightened take on traditional pecan pie. The crust is thin and flakey leaving more room for the sweeneted pecans and rich chocolate drizzle.
Chocolate Walnut TartA riff on the classic pecan pie, this dessert is rich, chocolaty, and a little fancier with its freestanding fluted sides. Of course, you can use a 9-inch pie plate if you don't have a tart pan with a removable bottom.
Pumpkin Pie with Vanilla Whipped CreamThis is the pie you remember from many Thanksgivings, made better for you. Instead of using a can of regular evaporated milk, we swapped in a fat-free version.
Pumpkin Pie CakeIf you like pumpkin pie, you'll love this cake's subtle spice flavors and velvety cream cheese frosting.
Red Velvet CupcakesFor friends or family, a gift of Red Velvet Cupcakes is always a welcomed treat. Don't pass on the signature red food coloring to attain that unmistakable red cake color of this classic dessert.
Caramel Apple PieMake an old-fashioned apple pie special for the holidays by topping it with a streusel topping and drizzling with a fat- free caramel sauce.
Pumpkin Pound Cake with Buttermilk GlazeMake pound cake both seasonal and healthier by adding mashed pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to the batter and topping with a buttermilk glaze.
Cranberry Swirl CheesecakeImpress your guests with a stunning cranberry cheesecake. The secret of the rich but reduced-fat filling is the combination of reduced-fat and fat-free cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
Double-Coconut CakeThis classic holiday cake is lower in fat than a traditional coconut cake because the frosting is made with egg whites instead of cream cheese and butter. And although real butter is used in the cake batter, it's only 1/3 cup because light coconut milk is added to help make the dessert rich and moist.
Light 'n' Creamy Chocolate Cake RollImpress your holiday guests with rolled chocolate cake filled with a fluffy chocolate-cream cheese filling. This recipe features the convenience of an angel food cake mix, and because the filling calls for 1/3-less-fat cream cheese and fat-free whipped topping, you won't have to feel guilty about having a slice.
Cranberry-Orange TrifleThis classic holiday dessert is traditionally made with sponge cake or ladyfingers brushed with sherry and layered with jam, custard, and whipped cream. Our lightened version uses pound cake and a lower-fat pastry cream made with reduced-fat milk, eggs, sugar, and cornstarch. For the fruit mixture, fresh cranberries are cooked with a small amount of sugar and orange juice. It's a great dessert for the holidays because you can make it a day ahead.
Tropical Gingerbread CakeGingerbread is always welcome during the holidays, and here it's spruced up with light coconut milk and fresh ginger. The tropical theme is also maintained in the creamy frosting with range marmalade and toasted coconut. Don't worry about splurging because each slice of this two-layer cake has only 253 calories.
Cinnamon-Orange Crème BrûléeNothing is more elegant and impressive to serve during the holidays than a créme brûlée, especially one that boasts favorite holiday flavors like cinnamon and orange. Because the custard is made with reduced-fat milk, nonfat dry milk, and fewer eggs, it has about two-thirds less fat than a traditional brûlée.
Vanilla Cheesecake with Cherry ToppingUsing fat-free cream cheese and fat-free sour cream in the batter and decreasing the amount of butter in the crust helps keep the fat content down in this holiday cheesecake. The rich flavor comes from fresh vanilla bean seeds and red wine-simmered cherries.
Classic Pumpkin PieWith less than 250 calories per slice and antioxidant-rich pumpkin, this pie is a must for your holiday menu. Even with a refrigerated pie crust and real whipping cream, the fat content is still only 7.4 grams per serving.
Peppermint Brownie à la ModeThis is a fun way to use all the candy canes that come your way this time of year. If you really like mint, substitute mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Oatmeal Pecan PieUsing oats in the filling allows you to keep crunchy nuttiness but use fewer pecans than you would use in a traditional pie. The pecans do add heart-health monounsaturated fat, and the oats help increase the fiber.
Pumpkin Pie Ice CreamA few easy additions to store-bought ice cream create a custom flavor that simply tastes like Thanksgiving.
Ginger Pumpkin CheesecakeMake this cake a day ahead, and refrigerate. Large crystals of raw brown Demerara sugar look and taste lovely, but the cake is still delicious without it.
Buttermilk Bundt CakesHere we offer three garnishing options for these adorable, delicious cakes: Simply dust with powdered sugar, pipe a bit of glaze over the top, or completely dunk the cakes for a heavier coating.
Lemon Rosemary Button ShortbreadsRich, buttery shortbread gets a subtle, savory twist from the rosemary.
Easy Almond CakesThis recipe is perfect for a large crowd since it's so easy and makes two cakes.
Frosted Ginger CookiesWe love these 100 calorie frosted ginger cookies' soft texture and bright spice flavor. Frosted ginger cookies are perfect for gifts and Christmas cookie swaps.
Magic Cookie BarsThese are also known as seven-layer or Hello Dolly bars. They take 30 minutes of hands-on prep and call for just eight ingredients, making them the perfect dessert for taking, well, just about anywhere!
Gingerbread PeopleThese adorable gingerbread people are only 124 calories per cookie! If you want to dress up the cookies, use red hot candies for buttons and currants for eyes; press those into the dough cut-outs before they're baked
Chocolate-Hazelnut MeringuesMake up to two days ahead, and store in an airtight container at room temperature. The chocolate and hazelnut coating adds textural interest to these airy, sweet treats.
Pistachio and Pine Nut BrittlePistachio and Pine Nut Brittle is a sweet spin on the traditional peanut brittle. This nut candy also includes dried cranberries, giving the brittle a festive color of red and green (from the pistachios) for the holidays.
Anise-Flavored "Doughnuts"At only 97 calories per serving, you can absolutely enjoy more than one of these delicious doughnuts, but if you want, save room because they are often washed down with small glasses of Alicante Muscat or another sweet white wine.
Holiday Fruit and Nut BarkThis excellent, healthy bark should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge or a cool room. It will keep for up to 3 weeks.
Whole-Wheat Sugar CookiesGet a healthy dose of whole grains while enjoying the sweet simplicity of these festive sugar cookies.

National Nursing Association Honors Independence Blue Cross for Nurse Scholars Program
Press Release
For Immediate Release
National Nursing Association Honors Independence Blue Cross for Nurse Scholars Program
Program provides much-needed funding to address nursing shortage
Philadelphia, PA – November 17, 2006 – AACN honored Independence Blue Cross (IBC) with its "Corporate Citizen Award" in recognition of the company's innovative program that combats the critical shortage of nurses in southeastern Pennsylvania by providing grants to fund scholarships, internships, and nursing faculty positions. In addition, a coalition of deans and directors of nursing schools in Pennsylvania gave special recognition to IBC for its efforts to improve nursing in the region.
This award, created in 2003, recognizes IBC's Nurse Scholars Program as an outstanding contribution made by a private company to support professional nursing education, practice, and research.
By the year 2020, there will be more than one million unfilled nursing jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A key factor is a sharp rise in the number of qualified nursing school applicants who were denied admission to nursing schools, according to the AACN. Three out of four schools cite insufficient number of faculty as the primary reason. Pennsylvania is fifth in the nation for projected nursing shortages, and will have an estimated 30 percent gap by 2020 between the number of nurses needed in hospitals and those that are available, according to reports from the PA Health Department and the PA Legislative and Budget Finance Committee.
"An important way we can help ensure that people in the Philadelphia region continue to have access to quality health care is by providing support for our region's future nurses," said Stephen Fera, Vice President of IBC's Government & Social Mission Programs, Fera recently accepted the award in front of more than 300 nursing school deans and other invited guests at AACN's Fall Semiannual Meeting in Washington, D.C. "We're extremely proud to be recognized for our Nurse Scholar Program, and for being able to help strengthen our region's nurse education programs."
Earlier this year, IBC significantly increased its support of the Nurse Scholars Program by dedicating $9.5 million to the program over a five-year period with its partner, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Foundation. This year, the program will award $1.25 million for about 800 more graduate and undergraduate nursing scholarships.
"We commend Independence Blue Cross for its generosity and desire to improve health care by bolstering the number of well-educated nurses in the Philadelphia region," said AACN President Dr. Jeanette Lancaster. "AACN applauds this effort which serves as a model for how private industry and nursing education can collaborate to meet the nation's health care needs and ensure access to nursing care."
As the national voice for baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs, AACN is using its resources and influence to address the shortage of registered nurses and nurse faculty. The organization advocates for increasing federal funding for nursing education programs while also working to identify strategies for preparing more faculty to teach future generations of nurses.
The Nurse Scholars Program was also the recipient of the America's Health Insurance Plans Foundation Community Leadership Award in March of this year, and has been presented with numerous awards and recognition such as the National League for Nursing Award for Public Service and the Carl Moore Leadership Award from the Philadelphia Health Management Corporation. The PA Higher Education Nursing Schools Association also recognized IBC at the AACN meeting for its support of nursing education in the Commonwealth.
Since its inception in 2004, the IBC Nurse Scholars program has provided nearly 2,000 scholarships at 27 accredited area nursing programs in southeastern Pennsylvania to support graduate and undergraduate students.
# # #
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing is the national voice for university and four-year-college education programs in nursing. Representing more than 590 member schools of nursing at public and private institutions nationwide, AACN's educational, research, governmental advocacy, data collection, publications, and other programs work to establish quality standards for bachelor's and graduate-degree nursing education, assist deans and directors to implement those standards, influence the nursing profession to improve health care, and promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education, research, and practice. Web site: http://www.aacn.nche.edu.
Independence Blue Cross is the leading health insurer in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Nationwide, IBC and its affiliates provide coverage to nearly 3.4 million people. For nearly 70 years, Independence Blue Cross has offered quality health care products and services tailored to meet the changing needs of members, employers, groups and providers.

FOXBORO - A famous visitor dropped by Patriots training camp Monday morning.
"We had a special guest at practice today," said New England Head Coach Bill Belichick during Monday's press conference. "That rock guy." Belichick, of course, was referring to rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who dropped in to practice to visit the three-time Super Bowl Champions.
Bon Jovi also came to visit a close friend. "It's good to have Jon around. He's a great friend It lightens things up a bit around here."
Belichick said he met Bon Jovi while serving as the defensive coordinator of the Super Bowl XXV Champion New York Giants in 1991. "Jon is a huge Giants fan," he said. "He was at the Super Bowl in Tampa. As I've changed teams through the years, he's been to many practices."
Belichick said he has a lot in common with Bon Jovi, the owner of the Philadelphia Soul, an Arena League football team.
|Rocker Jon Bon Jovi talks to Patriots lineman Matt Light during training camp in New England Aug 14, 2006 (Photo: Kevin Saleeba)
"He likes football and I like music," said Belichick with a sly grin. "We have some things in common." When they get together, Belichick said "he talks football and I talk music."
Bon Jovi, who did not speak to the press, took his own photos of the team during practice, and he was also seen waving at fans and talking to Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Patriots Vice President of Personnel Scott Pioli, Offensive guard Stephen Neal, and Offensive tackle Matt Light, among others.
When asked what his favorite Bon Jovi song was, Belichick said, "You're putting me on the spot. There are so many good songs." After a short pause, he then replied, "Living On A Prayer," with that same sly smile.

New approach to cancer care impacts communities across the Carolinas
Carolinas HealthCare System's (CHS) Levine Cancer Institute announced its charter member institutions, the first group of CHS affiliated hospitals as part of the system's new cancer care network. This connection among member institutions brings increased access to specialist consults, research offerings, and innovative programs and services to patients closer to where they live, based on the involvement of the participating centers in the Institute programs.
"We take cancer care very seriously. Through our elite network of affiliated hospitals and physicians, located across the Carolinas, we are able to bring patients the best cancer care in a more convenient way," said Derek Raghavan, MD, PhD. "Levine Cancer Institute is a national model and shows how we are investing in our community and the lives of patients by removing the barriers that separate them from access to breakthrough research and treatments."
The charter member institutions are:
Member institutions work together across the network to focus on initiatives like quality of care, technology, clinical trials, data sharing and review, patient navigation, health disparities, and community outreach.
"A network of cancer centers and hundreds of cancer care locations across the Carolinas connected technologically and organizationally means patients don't have to travel long distances to get highly specialized care," said Edward Kim, MD, Chair of the Institute's Department of Solid Tumors and Investigational Therapeutics. Dr. Kim joined the Institute in July 2012 from MD Anderson Cancer Center, and is one of more than 30 cancer specialists from top-ranked programs across the country recruited to work with the hundreds of oncologists, surgeons and radiologists across the system.
"The Institute is taking a novel, distributed approach, which we believe to be the future of cancer care," said Roper St. Francis Healthcare president and CEO David L. Dunlap. "The opportunity to be part of a network of cancer programs, driving excellence through shared knowledge and research and programmatic opportunities will enhance the quality and convenience of cancer care for our patients, as well as those around the region."
The Institute is creating dozens of programs to support patients through every step of their care. It developed survivorship and integrative medicine programs like patient navigation and fertility preservation. It also offers programs aimed at reducing disparities and providing access to cancer care for those who would not otherwise receive it. To date, it has screened almost 200 uninsured Charlotte women for breast cancer, and has programs in Union and Stanly counties to reach rural and Hispanic communities.
The Institute's research and administrative headquarters on the campus of Carolinas Medical Center will be complete in October 2012 and will house the region's first Phase 1 clinical trials unit to expand patient access to novel new therapies. However, the Institute will function as a series of integrated units, so patients would only travel to Charlotte if they require a higher level of care or during early phase clinical trials.
"This concept of a "cancer institute without walls" would not be possible without the strong bond between these member institutions," said Dr. Raghavan. "Together, we are elevating clinical practice and bringing access to more research, more specialists, standard treatment protocols and innovative programs to all patients throughout the region."

From lowly mold to measured savior of humankind: That's the story of penicillin. Discovered in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming, penicillin was a finicky substance to work with; it was left on the shelf, so to speak, until the advent of World War II, when the Allies became desperate for a medicine that could be mass-produced to fight battlefield infections (as well as sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis). Because the Brits were busy repelling the blitz, the challenge was taken up by American pharmaceutical companies, working shoulder to shoulder with government labs and private research institutions. They succeeded. As Lauren Belfer tells us in an afterword to her compelling new novel, "A Fierce Radiance," on "D-Day, in June 1944, every medic going ashore in France carried penicillin in his pack." On the home front, deaths from infections, including scarlet fever, pneumonia and blood poisoning caused by accidental cuts and scrapes were dramatically reduced.
As she demonstrated in her best-selling first novel, "City of Light" (1999), Belfer is adept at writing historical fiction that sizzles. Sex, spies, murder, big money, family betrayals, doomed romance and exotic travel are smoothly braided into her main narrative about the wartime race to make large quantities of penicillin. The focus of the story is Claire Shipley -- a single mother who works as a photojournalist for Life magazine. Think a hotter version of Margaret Bourke-White. The novel opens in December 1941 with Claire on assignment at New York's Rockefeller Institute (now Rockefeller University). Doctors are administering a small dose of penicillin to a middle-aged banker who has developed blood poisoning after scraping his knee on a racquetball court. Camera in hand, Claire documents the experimental procedure that, as luck would have it, is conducted by a hunky single doctor named Jamie Stanton. But after a miraculous rally, the patient declines and dies. The problem? Not enough penicillin is yet available for a full course of treatment.

[SOCCER BUSINESS] Arsenal has been skidding in recent weeks, falling out of the English Premier League lead, but it is No. 1 among Chinese fans.
According to a survey by Coventry University's Center for the International Business of Sport of more than 15,000 Chinese, the Gunners were the most popular club in the lucrative Chinese market,
finishing ahead of Manchester United, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The English Premier League was the most popular league, finishing far ahead of the Spain's La Liga and Italy's
Serie A.
The most popular national team was Germany, ahead of Spain and Italy.
The choice of Arsenal as the most popular club was somewhat surprising, given its reluctance to
tour Asia during the summer preseason. But CIBS researcher Jiajia Song told CNN that Arsenal's popularity may something to do with its German stars Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski.
"Fans are more likely to support a club team when players from their favorite national squad regularly
make the starting lineup," said Song. "This means players like Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski, both German international players and players for Arsenal, are likely to fulfill an important commercial
and marketing role for club, country and league."

Cherry Shrimp
What is the best way to get Cherry Shrimp..? I'm fascinated by them and I might be looking to add them later on to my tank. Are they okay to buy online? Just no LFS around here has any :(
From what I have seen on here, some members have had very good success buying them from fellow members of the site.
Lots of colors to choose from in cherry shrimp. yellow, orange, blue, rili, red of course- and more!
Go to the sales section here, check the reputation of the seller through private pm and you can use the feedback as a guideline. Make sure the seller has very good insulation for packing at this time of year, ask about heat packs, and then make your decision.
Personally, I've always gotten good shrimp from here. :)
This site or Aquabid. I've had nothing but great experiences with both. Get the highest grade shrimp you can find/want to pay for... they're all really hardy IME and you'll be happier with the colors. If you're uncomfortable shipping, you can always post a Want to Buy on this forum and say that you're looking for someone in SE Michigan ... there's gotta be somebody local to you that you can just pick the shrimp up from.

"You know, I don't know a lot about Wake Forest, but I've heard many great things about them. I'm definitely going to be looking into the program and what they have to offer."
Preston has accumulated offers from Arkansas State, Illinois, Louisville, Memphis, N.C. State, Rutgers, USF, and UCF in addition to Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. He plans on taking visits this summer before narrowing his list of favorites.
"Once school gets out I'm going to take some visits this summer so I can get a good feel for the schools," Preston said. "I want to be comfortable in the environment because I'll be there the next four or five years of my life. I'd like to study engineering so I'm looking for a college with a top engineering program."
In his second year as a starter at Jensen Beach, Preston made 50 tackles, 14 tackles, for loss, four sacks, and two forced fumbles. He said he's prepared for most any defensive scheme in college.
"We run a 4-3 and a 5-2 defense," Preston said on the Falcons defensive alignment. "This spring my coverage has been way better. I went to a lot of 7-on-7's this spring. I was at two Nike Training Camps in Miami and Orlando. I read in an article that I was one of the top linebackers there. I also went to an Under Armour Combine in Miami where I thought I did pretty well but haven't gotten any feedback on it."
Jensen Beach will have an inter-squad game on Friday, May 17th and a spring game with Port St. Lucie on Friday, May 24th. The falcons finished 5-6 in 2012 with a first round loss to Merritt Island in the Florida Class 5A playoffs.

Detlev Peukert
Detlev Peukert (September 20, 1950 in Gütersloh – May 17, 1990 in Hamburg) was a German historian, noted for his studies of the relationship between what he called the "spirit of science" and the Holocaust and in social history and the Weimar Republic. Peukert taught modern history at the University of Essen and served as director of the Research Institute for the History of the Nazi Period. Peukert was a member of the German Communist Party until 1978, when he joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
One of Peukert's first books was Ruhrarbeiter gegen den Faschismus (Ruhr Workers Against Fascism), a study of anti-Nazi activities amongst the working class of the Ruhr during the Third Reich. Peukert was a leading expert in Alltagsgeschichte (history of everyday life) and his work often examined the effect of Nazi social policies on ordinary Germans and on persecuted groups such as Jews and Roma. In particular, Peukert looked at how in "everyday" life in Nazi Germany, aspects of both "normality" and "criminality" co-existed with another.[1] Peukert was one of the first historians to make a detailed examination of the persecution of the Romani. Peukert often compared Nazi policies towards Roma with Nazi policies towards Jews.
Another related area of interest for Peukert was resistance, opposition and dissent in the Third Reich. Peukert developed a pyramid model starting with "nonconformity" (behavior in private that featured partial rejection of the Nazi regime) running to "refusal of co-operation" (Verweigerung) to "protest", and finally to Widerstand (resistance), which involved total rejection of the Nazi regime.[2]
Peukert often wrote on the social and cultural history of the Weimar Republic whose problems he saw as more severe examples of the problems of modernity. Peukert died of AIDS in 1990, aged 39.

Cupid usually arrives on Valentine's Day with a sheath full of arrows with which to steal your heart.
But in Princeton this Valentine's Day, Cupid arrived to steal hearts with a bark.
Cupid is a 3-month-old hound dog that was found abandoned in a snowbank in a ditch during the frigid temperatures two weeks ago. He was taken to the Princeton impound and found by a representative of Ruff Start Rescue on the very day his hold was set to expire.
In just a few days, Cupid had already touched a lot of hearts at Ruff Start, said Azure Davis, the organization's founder and president.
Cupid is a special dog — so special that Ruff Start is usually skeptical of taking on a dog like Cupid, Davis said.
Cupid's front legs are deformed and he cannot walk on them. They are both curled in and he hobbles on his forearms. Davis said she believes the ailment is carpal hyperflexion syndrome, the result of malnutrition.
"He's so young and needs time to strengthen," Davis said.
But that's easier said than done — especially because it could cost as much as $6,000 to treat Cupid.
Ruff Start Rescue is in the early stages of getting testing done through a veterinarian in Monticello. Cupid is slated for a series of X-rays on his front legs, as well as his jaw, which also looks to be suffering from some slight deformities, Davis said.
Cupid could then be sent to the University of Minnesota's veterinary clinic, where treatment and costs could escalate.
"We will start with whatever therapy is needed to help save him and hope he is able to walk again normally," Davis said.
"It won't be cheap, but there will be no going back," she said. Donations are being accepted at http://goo.gl/S8PSib.
On Monday, after being in Ruff Start Rescue foster care for three days, Cupid was already showing signs of being stronger.
One concern that rescuers have is that Cupid will begin to wear off the fur on his forearms, so care is being taken to ensure that Cupid is walking on soft surfaces, like carpet and blankets.
He is also eating high-quality food now, which has helped make him stronger, and he is hobbling around in a diaper.
He likes to play and loves other dogs.
Monday at Ruff Start's Princeton headquarters, Cupid was running around to the best of his ability, following staff members and playfully barking. He was able to go outside on his own to relieve himself.
And even though Cupid is currently in foster care, Ruff Start has begun taking adoption applications as the organization begins the process of finding the dog its "forever" home, Davis said.

Windows Live Search now delivers the web search results for a pair of Amazon's services, the A9 search engine and the Alexa web traffic research site.
|Amazon Takes Google To The Dumps
Bye Google. Hi Microsoft. It's nearly summer, and as boyfriends and girlfriends starting scoping out new partners for summertime fun, Google seems to be the one staying home to wash its hair and post gloomy emo poems on its blog.
Amazon now has a new partner in web search. Results for web search queries made at A9 or Alexa now return a "Powered by Windows Live" logo instead of the familiar G.
More importantly, should visitors to Amazon.com decide they need a quick web search fix through the A9 search box, those results come from Windows Live. The Google Operating System blog pointed out the change made, without fanfare, by Amazon.
In the grand scheme of web search, this is a minor move, maybe a pawn taking a pawn off the board. But stronger pieces loom as the battle for the center of the board continues.
Or maybe we should say "adCenter" instead. Commenters on the topic on a Threadwatch discussion about the change wonder where the contextual ads will come from next.
While they mention MSN adCenter, or even Kanoodle as a stop-gap until adCenter launches, it should be repeated here that Amazon has been testing its contextual ads in a quiet beta for a few months.

My 8 Year Old Is Afraid of Going to the Lu
My 8 year old girl is still afraid of going to the lu by herself. She always waits for Mum or asks her younger sister to go with her. I honestly dont know what to do. Is this just a phase? Will she outgrow it?

One of my good friends works in a gun store. He was told that Smith and Wesson is focusing all manufacturing on AR-15's and other similar guns that may face a ban. Shields have been put on the back burner.
My LGS here in SE Michigan told me that the Shield is produced concurrently with the AR-15. He also stated they average 40 Shields per shipment. I was 38th when I got on the current waiting list. The SHOT show may lengthen the wait however.
Last week, I was in a LGS when they game in, but I did not know what had came in until all of the 9's had sold out. It was their first shipment for quite a while.
If anyone has a lead on a 9, please PM me.
Put 20% down to hold a Shield in 9mm today. LGS guy told me 6-8mo wait :ticking: he also said they're focusing production on AR15s. Who knows...maybe my suppressor stamps will beat my Shield lol.
seen a few for sale on armslist in my area..... i am actually waiting to hear back from a seller for shield with 3 mags. I have spoke to him on the phone but I have not heard from him in several days.
I live in Iowa and had a guy on another forum give me a tip on who had them. So I called and sure enough the guy was like yeah I got 8 sitting on my shelf. I said, fluke? He said no we ALWAYS have them. Here's the info:
Shoot Straight in Caselberry, Florida
I got the 40 cal an paid $449 + $10 shipping. Had it in a week. Yes some guys are paying less, but I got it for MSRP and I'm happy with it. I love my gun and wouldn't trade for anything. You can wait a lifetime on a list, just call out of state and ship one to your LGS. I googled Shoot Straight and got their number and it was a smooth transaction. I thought maybe old stock but mine was produced in November and I got it in January. So that's pretty fresh. Shoots like a dream and the safety everyone hates is nothing. I actually like the safety. I also think it shoots better than my brothers PPS, though I dislike the Walther trigger guard mag release. But that's just me. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for the heads up, will be calling bright and early!!
I was on the Shield waiting list at a LGS last year for one in 9mm after only holding a blue gun version, put 20% down and all. By coincidence, I ended up shooting a 9mm Shield at the range about 2 weeks later. It's a nice gun, but was a LOT heavier than I expected and the grip felt ok but not great. I ended up cancelling my order on the Shield and buying a 9c from the same LGS, they rolled my deposit into that (not like they weren't going to sell the Shield the ordered for me!). The Shield is a bit thinner and lighter than the compact, but I felt that the larger mag capacity and the ability to potentially use mags as large as 27 rounds versus 8 was worth the 2oz. If/When I need an ultra light small gun I'll carry my PF9.
On a side note, last week S&W sent me a finger grip base pad for free. Nice of them to do that, but I have purchased over $1100 of their products in the last year, now i just wish I could find more mags actually in stock for a reasonable price.
The number being produced per day has nothing to do with the number of orders released by the distributors to the gun shops. The distributor can do as some did with the Kel Tec KSG and sold them thru Gun Broker to the highest bidder. The majority of the Shields on line are not privately owned but are being sold by a distributor or a gun shop. Why sell at or below the $449 MSRP when you can put it on Gun Broker and possibly get $675 or more as is the case of one Panama City Fl. Gun dealer.
Guys we are being ripped off by our own LGS as many did in the past and will continue to do same now and in the future. There was a large number of gun stores in my area prior to 2009 and a few went out of business after the 2009 buying frenzy and I also see that some that just hung on until now will do the same because of their loss of return business based on their product pricing.
A man in a local Ace Hardware,said they can't keep the compact m&ps on the shelf..S&W is probably trying to make them as fast as they can.They probably want to sell them,as much as people want to buy them,im guessing.
So here's the deal!!!!! I was in with my LGS whom I've befriended and was talking about price gouging. He said it upsets him when people use terms like price gouging when it should be supply and demand. He said when the demand grows they can't get anything, nothing at all. So therefor they have to boost the price to be able to keep their doors open between shipments. He says he hates doing it, but also said I'm not going to let some mass shooter and idiots on Capitol Hill put me out of business. So he is forced to charge considerably more. He said the downside of that is places like buds and distributors see that these are selling at this ridiculously higher prices and jump on board. He buds sells thousands of guns a week where a LGS might only move 10-30 depending on seasons.
So lets do everything we can to show love and solidarity to our LGS's there the ones that are really hurting. He also said he took and order for a guy and the distributor said maybe 1-5 months. I feel bad for him. But I buy about $100 a week in ammo from him and will start purchasing reloading supplies there too.
Bottom line people think their gouging, when really their in a struggle to survive this dry spell. By the way my guy has been taking money out on his house to pay people rather than lay them off. Stand up gentleman if you ask me. Just think twice when you scald a little guy for his prices.
My LGS had one on the shelf. I mentioned it to him and he said they got like 30 of them in and have gone through 18 or so of them. They only put out one at a time.
