Queen + Adam Lambert team up for summer arena tour
Listen to Queen on iHeartRadio | Listen to Adam Lambert on iHeartRadio
Legendary rockers Queen and Adam Lambert are once again joining forces for a North American summer tour!
The tour came about after Queen and Lambert's incredible and much talked about performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last year sparked up a conversation between Adam, Brian May, and Roger Taylor.

"He's the most incredible frontman," Taylor said of Lambert in a press conference Thursday morning, adding that Queen + Adam Lambert's performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival "reminded us how great we got on together... the natural progression was to make a tour."
May said, "We are very excited. This is a combination we believe works very well," adding that Lambert is "never an imitator; he finds his own way with the songs."
"Vegas really felt like it gelled even more," Lambert said; their performance there was their first together in the U.S. after a short tour of Europe. "It was really magical in Vegas."
Check out a clip of Queen + Adam Lambert's killer performance at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival:
The 19-date trek kicks off in June, as the guys travel to Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, New York, and more, wrapping up in Washington, DC at the Merriweather Post Pavilion - which is their only outdoor summer show.
Brian May says of the tour, "Let's ROCK those beautiful arenas JUST ONE MORE TIME!"
Lambert adds, "I'm completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon. The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in North America is so beautifully surreal. I'm honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie's memory; he's a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display."
Tickets for the tour go on sale beginning March 14th through the Live Nation mobile app and LiveNation.com. American Express Card Members will have access to tickets before the general public, starting March 10th at 10 a.m. local time.

Sunday, August 21, 2011
This WorldCon has, at the very least, been wonderful for me. It may turn out to have been life-changing.
For one thing, I got to see all kinds of old friends, including my beloved former students Kurt Adams and Inez Schaechterle -- with whom I've hung out for much of the con -- and my editor/NYC buddies Ellen Datlow, David Hartwell and Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden (most of whom have also edited me at one time or another).
I got very satisfying strokes for the panels I moderated, especially the one on "Faith and Science," which went very smoothly despite the potential for catastrophe. I went to excellent panels and presentations. I got a lot of knitting done.
But I also got a lot of very specific reinforcement about my own identity as a writer. For instance:
* At my first panel, someone showed up with, I swear, a copy of every book and story I've ever written, asked me to sign them, and then gave me a beautiful piece of fluorite to thank me.
* When I was wandering around the Dealers Room, someone told me that "Gestella" is "the best werewolf story ever written."
* Only ten people attended my reading, but one of them was Cory Doctorow, a Much Bigger Name than I am, who appeared to genuinely love the reading and told me it reminded him of some of Kelly Link's work. She's an Infinitely Bigger Name than I am.
* I didn't expect many people to come to my signing today. It was a group signing, and Carrie Vaughn was signing at the same time; I figured she'd have lines around the block and I'd be twiddling my thumbs, so I brought my knitting. Carrie -- sitting next to me, as it turned out -- indeed had long lines, but mine weren't bad. I signed solidly for the first half hour. After that, it got a bit spottier, but not enough for me to get any knitting done. There were a few people who had multiple copies of my books, and someone who had a copy of my very first story, published in 1985 in Asimov's, and someone who said that he's bought anthologies simply because they contained stories I'd written, and several people who heaped praise on "Gestella." And towards the end of the hour, Mega-Infinitely Bigger Name Than I Am Carrie Vaughn turned to me and said, "Susan, I just want you to know that 'Gestella' blew my mind, and as a writer of werewolf fiction I tell other people to read your story, because I think it's definitive."
Holy crap.
* I've always been deeply moved and honored that Jo Walton, whose work I admire tremendously (and who's also much better known than I am), has said glowing things about my work in print. I was very excited to learn that she'd be at Renovation. I looked forward to meeting her in person. I was flattered when she asked if we could have tea together and hang out for an hour between panels, and more than a little startled when she said that one of the reasons she came to the con was to meet me, "because you don't travel much, and I knew you lived here."
Jo proceeded to give me a bracing pep talk. She reads the blog (hi, Jo!), and, among other things, said briskly, "It's perfectly obvious from your blog that you spiral down into depression and then pull yourself back out, but you need to get to more cons. The external validation's really important." We talked about cons: WorldCon and World Fantasy are often impossible because they conflict with teaching. Lately, the only cons I've attended have been WisCon and Mythcon, and even that's been spotty. I'm going to Mythcon again next year; I've been waffling about WisCon. Jo recommended the Fourth Street Fantasy Convention, which I've heard about but have never gotten to. Inez and I are talking about sharing a room there next year.
After tea with Jo (coffee for me, actually, which may have been unwise that late in the afternoon), I went home to help Gary get ready for dinner, since we were having Inez and Kurt and Kurt's wife Shauna over. I babbled to Gary about all this. Before I'd even told him about Jo's depression comment, he said, "You need to get to more cons. This is doing you more good than all the meds you've ever taken. It's all about connection and community."
I know this probably sounds like a lot of insufferable bragging, but I've effectively been in exile from my community for a long time. Part of that's geographical; a lot of it's been self-imposed; and it's been reinforced and deepened by my increasing marginalization within my department. Some people there admire the fact that I write, but as far as I can tell, none of my English Department colleagues read my fiction, or particularly like it if they do (other university friends, especially in the music department, have been loyal fans and a wonderful cheering section). Various of my colleagues clearly think I'm a little strange -- one person I like and admire once called me a "fanatic" to my face -- and between all that and the fact that the job's become more difficult and less rewarding for all of us, leading to a universal nosedive in morale, I haven't felt deeply affirmed at work. I know some of that's my fault, especially because I'm terrible at certain kinds of political games, but blaming myself only makes me feel worse.
Church has filled in a lot of the holes -- faith's really a huge antidepressant -- but it can't do everything.
The recent three-year grief-fest hasn't helped any of this, of course (and that's not my fault, and I think my reactions have been entirely human and understandable).
So I went to WorldCon figuring that I'd see some old friends and that nobody else would know who I was, and that would be okay, because it would be my fault, because I haven't been writing much.
What I discovered instead is that people in my field know my work and admire it. People I've never met know my work and admire it. People I admire, blazingly successful and famous and talented people, know my work and admire it. I've written things that matter to other human beings.
It is very difficult to communicate what this feels like. Like floating in airless space and then finding yourself standing on solid ground in a beautiful forest? Like being a ghost and then regaining a body? (Good heavens: am I empathizing with Sauron and Voldemort?) Those are cheesy metaphors, and unsatisfying besides. Let's just say that I've found my country again, or my planet, and learned that I was always welcome there.
So yes, I'll definitely try to get to more cons. I'm exhausted, and I'll be grateful to get back to a normal schedule when WorldCon's over, but I'm going to be very sad when everyone leaves.
In the meantime, I may buy myself a token of citizenship. Y'know how in some fantasy stories, people think their adventures Elsewhere were just a dream, until they discover that they still have a coin or a key or a crown they were given there? The fluorite rock would work, but I can't keep it with me all the time, so I may indulge my shopping obsession and buy a ring. Laurie Edison makes gorgeous jewelry and sells it at cons. It's pricy, so I've never bought any of it. But today I tried on a series of rings and both Laurie and I went, "Oh, wow," at one particular one with a shiny blue stone that looks like opal but I think is something else I can't remember at the moment.
If that's still available tomorrow, I may spring for it, as a sign of renewed commitment to my SF/F citizenship. If it isn't available, I'll cart the fluorite around, maybe, or get some smaller thing. Either way, I'll be registering for Fourth Street.
This is an exceedingly long post. Thank you for bearing with me!

Wow...you sound so positive and upbeat and happy and fulfilled.... Everyone is right...you need to go to more of these functions. You need to rub elbows with "your own kind". I am so happy for you that you are enjoying your experience and that it has done so much to raise your confidence level.ReplyDelete
This is a great post! Congrats on those good things.ReplyDelete
As a fellow depressive (bipolar type II in my case) I totally identified with what you've said here. I was feeling low pre-con, but it was impossible not be pumped up by all the positive reinforcement the con offered (and losing the Hugo didn't change that at all). Part of that energy was from our Faith & Science panel, which you helmed in exemplary fashion and upon which I've gotten compliments the rest of the weekend. (P.S.: You can write a werewolf novel for me any time!)ReplyDelete
Care to join us for dinner with the Sandersons tonight? (And even if not, I'd love a local's recommendations of nice places to go.)
- Anonymous7:07 AM
It's amazing what hanging out w/ one's tribe after a long period in isolation can do, huh? I have the same problem up here in Maine, and also have depressive tendencies. I go to Readercon in Massachusetts every summer and get a shot of needed enthusiasm for my true love, fiction of the fantastic. If I had more $ and no daytime job, I'd go to more cons myself. Went to World Fantasy in 1982, but not again until 2007. 25 years is too long.ReplyDelete
Since reading your blog, I've wondered why you don't write fiction more. I certainly understand the depression and the death of your parents have a huge impact, but my experience is losing ourselves in work we truly love helps us to heal. It's the mind equivalent of physical exercise---you always feel better afterward. But i also know that getting yourself in the chair is a major challenge when you're not in a good place.
I have yet to read any of your novels, but I have read The Fate of Mice, and was blown away. I, too, am a huge werewolf fan (so sad no one's doing the icon any real justice these days; I strongly dislike urban fantasy, and that genre seems to have co-opted my furry friends for now), and was moved by Gestella, such a beautiful take on what can be a cliched monster.
As an aspiring writer, I put your collection down, slowly shaking my head and asking myself, "How did she DO that?". Actually, after reading this post, I'm going to dig out the book, re-read it, and study it closer.
I'm glad you got some well-deserved external recognition. As a 12 step friend of mine once told me, our minds are not good neighborhoods for us to wander alone. Being at the con gave you a reality check that blew away the fog of depression, low self-esteem, and lethargy.
OK, this comment is nearly as long as your post. I'll stop here.
Jeff P.
You know, I've been reading your blog for about three years or so now, having stumbled over during my travels in the Anglican blogosphere. I knew you were a writer and stuff, but I somehow missed you wrote fantasy, which is my one true love in literature.ReplyDelete
So tonight when I get home I'm going to hack my NookColor and put the Kindle app on it so I can read The Fate of Mice (I have 8 hours of trains in my future this week as I'm traveling to a gaming convention in Seattle, I need books to read and this is most fortuitous).
- Anonymous9:30 AM
I don't know you at all and I've only read FLYING IN PLACE but this post made my day. I miss all my writer connections in Chicago and Arizona and from Clarion '90 and at the cons. Haven't gone to a con in many years but now am trying to get everyone together to go to Chicon next year. Would love to go to something closer (I live in Greenville SC) but being unemployed, it's not at the top of my concerns at the moment.
Anyway, thanks for your post. I'm passing it on to a few others who no doubt feel like you and me.
Thanks for the comments, everyone! Jeff: I find writing blog posts, and some other kinds of nonfiction (like my Church Health Reader columns) very easy; I find writing fiction very hard, and I've never been prolific even when there haven't been multiple family losses to deal with. I love having written; I don't usually love the process of writing itself. So if I want to lose myself in work I love, I weave!ReplyDelete
How wonderful that you had such rewarding time at the Con. You seem to know a lot of my favorite writers and it's great to discover that they like you and your work as much as I do. I totally identify with the self isolation thing and agree with Gary that more cons is a good idea. Hope you two planning on coming to the 2013 World Con in my neck of the woods.
- Anonymous11:59 PM
As a Christian and an SF lover I have to say that your works have affirmed my life on both levels. The Necessary Beggar and Flying in Place reduce me to tears each time.
I, too, have a very depressive nature but you should know that all your writing (and I think I have all that's published) remains on my best of the best shelves.
You give me great hope for this depressive Sf reading Lutheran. Thank you.
Bob Blough
Thanks, everyone, so much. (And Lee, I'd love to get to San Antonio, but we start teaching before Labor Day and the con's Labor Day Weekend, so it's iffy. We'll see, though!)ReplyDelete

Playing Make-believe
I have a 5-year-old son who is very fond of playing make-believe characters. I often see him pretending to be Optimus Prime of Transformers or sometimes Captain America. Problem is, he translates it to real life situations like when he is tired, he would say, "You need to recharge me." or "Press my power button" or "I need my power drink." Is this normal?

Hi MomOfThree,
Children who are 5 years old cannot differentiate between what is real and what is make-believe. For this reason, I only allow my children to watch programs that are educational or have high entertainment value, but always keeping in mind that whatever they are watching, they will emulate. I want my children to emulate respect for others, gratitude, kindness, diligence, and a whole lot of other good character qualities.
I would encourage you to replace the "Transformers" programs with "Barney" and other programs that your son can better relate to in the "real world". He will benefit more from educational programming than cartoons meant to simply entertain.
Warm Regards,

Hello Kate,
I know I must be giving my son so much TV time. It is just so hard to keep them away from it when all other kids are doing the same thing. But of course you are right, we just have to exert more effort entertaining them in other ways. I will keep your advice in mind.
11th July 2013 03:21 AM #4
Hi momofthree,
Excellent advise from Kate above.
It is developmentally normal for a child of your son's age to play pretend/ make-believe for a significant proportion of the day! As Kate says, if you change some of his activities then he will involve these in the pretend play.
I know it can be hard to entertain young children. However, I try to remind myself each day that these are precious years and time that I will not get back with my children. Therefore, I would try to limit TV to no more than 45 minutes a day at this age.
Here are some ways you can try to limit the TV use.
- Be aware of where you have a TV. It is best to keep a TV in just one room, rather than having it on throughout the day in the kitchen.
- Allow your child to watch a specific TV program rather than just watching the TV - the later can easily result in hours of TV watched.
- Watch TV with your child - interact with them, talk about the characters in the show.
- Don't have the TV on as background noise - it is better to use the radio for this.
- Plan when and what you will watch.
Here are a few of my ideas for ways to keep a 5 year old entertained that don't involve sitting in-front of the TV.
- Plan and make a meal together. Involve your child in every part of the meal planning process so that they enjoy seeing how the meal evolves and then enjoy eating it together!
- Create your own assault course around the house or garden. You could use big stones to jump between or make a tunnel to crawl through. 5 year old boys are full of energy - you could time them to complete the course and then see if they can beat their time.
- Make a family scrap-book together: use photos, draw pictures and save tickets/ programmes from days out to collate into a memorial piece of work.
- Explore the local parks and wildlife - take a picnic and meet friends.
The possibilities are endless - soon you won't be able to fit any TV watching in! I find that if you want to break a habit if you make one small change a day then in a month's time you will be close to reaching your goal.
Do let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,

I'm so glad LJ jumped in here to give you some ideas about other things you can do with your son instead of using the TV as a "babysitter".
And here's another thread that will give you more ideas about activities you can do with your child.

Hannity Segment Is A Parade Of Falsehoods About Obama's Economic Policies
Blog ››› ››› KAREN FAMIGHETTI
A segment on tonight's edition of Fox News' Hannity featured Sean Hannity, Fox Business reporter Sandra Smith, and Fox News contributor Monica Crowley repeating a laundry list of falsehoods about Obama's handling of the economy.
Let's take them one by one.
Hannity: Obama is laughing off the "bump in the road that is America's struggling economy."
When Obama made his comment about there being a "bump in the road," he was referring to economic "disruptions" such as turmoil in the Middle East and the Japan earthquake, rather than unemployment. See HERE.
Hannity: Obama "can't even deny" that the stimulus was a "disastrous failure."
Nonpartisan studies have shown that the economy would be in worse condition today without the 2009 stimulus, and that the stimulus has increased employment and GDP. See HERE.
Crowley: When Obama said "shovel ready" jobs were not as "shovel ready" as expected, he was laughing about the stimulus being ineffective.
Obama's comment came while he was making the observation that eliminating unnecessary regulations might speed up job creation. See HERE.
Hannity: Obama is golfing, play basketball, and travelling while he is supposed to be fixing the economy.
This is a frequently used attack in the right-wing media, which has trouble accepting that Obama can focus on more than one thing at a time. See HERE.
Crowley: The stimulus was a "political act" to "buy off Democrat political constituencies."
About a third of the stimulus money went to counties that supported McCain in 2008. See HERE.
Crowley: Obama has "spent us into a Keynesian coma"
Bush-era policies are largely to blame for America's debt and deficit problems. See HERE and HERE.
At the end of the segment, ostensibly "straight news" Fox Business reporter Sandra Smith adopted Hannity's theme that we "can't afford" four more years of an Obama presidency.

One Way Out DVD
$4.97(Was $19.95)
The One Way Out Season 1 DVDs take you inside the world of professional escape artist Jonathon Goodwin, as he grows his passion through greater and greater danger zones. Working with Terry Stroud, a mechanical engineer, the two construct traps never before attempted. The One Way Out DVDs of Season 1 have him fighting for his life against fire, scorpions, ostriches and more.
One Way Out Season 1 DVD is a compelling Discovery Channel series in which the host, professional escape artist Jonathan Goodwin, tests the limits of his own skills and endurance as he fights his way out of a set of increasingly complex, ridiculous, and dangerous traps over the course of each episode.
The traps, constructed with the help of mechanical engineer Terry Stroud, created from an array of ordinary objects, build to a final dramatic stunt in each episode.
In the One Way Out DVD, over the course of the series, Jonathan is bound with duct tape, locked in a filing cabinet, roped to a motorboat, stapled to a door, hung over a tub of tacks, driven off the end of a dock, tied to the tracks of a (small) train, encased in concrete, and buried alive"¦all while demonstrating important scientific principles. Simple physics may get him into these fixes, but for Jonathan, the trick is finding that One Way Out.
Shop for the One Way Out Season 1 DVDs, and follow as escape artist Jonathon Goodwin goes to new extremes to escape the dangerous contraptions created by Terry Stroud.
This One Way Out Video DVD edition includes all ten episodes, plus the extended-length pilot.
Bee Stung Brit: Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin tests his theory of minimal movement with a scorpion trapped inside his mouth and with his body covered in 200,000 agitated bees. He must endure excruciating pain as he attempts to set himself free.
Dizzy Limit: Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin tests his escaping ability while spinning. He rides down a hill in an out-of-control locked barrel, gets off a rapidly spinning chair, and takes a wild ride on the Water Wheel of Doom-all in the name of science.
Human Catapult: Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin takes the pain and tests his abilities while dealing with projectiles and the science behind them. He gets pummeled with tennis balls flying at 45mph, high-dives into kiddie pools, and is launched over 65 ft in the air.
Bird Brained: Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin gets served as dinner to some hungry turkeys, learns about the aggressive behaviors of ostriches, and then actually comes face-to-face with a pen filled with the giant dangerous birds.
Ice Trap: Jonathan experiences cold temperatures while testing his ability to hold his breath under water. He is restrained upside down with his head trapped in a container of cold water, tests himself in an icehouse, and gets trapped inside an ice tank.
Long Way Down: Jonathan Goodwin wages battle against the forces of gravity by becoming part of a life-sized domino rally, taking some crazy leaps off a high diving board, and making a daring escape while suspended 30 ft in the air.
Buried Alive: Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin faces the double jeopardy of limited oxygen and crushing weight against his body as he explores the science and danger of being buried alive. If he can free himself from his coffin, his battle has just begun"¦
BMX Bounce: Jonathan tests his escapes while withstanding the forces of impact. He is slammed with hanging objects, rides full speed on a BMX bike into an impact-measuring device, and attempts to make his final escape while Mikey slams into him at top speed on a BMX
Trial By Fire: Escapologist Jonathan Goodwin gets fired up as he explores the science of heat. His hands and ft are ignited, he licks a red-hot fireplace poker and is chained and handcuffed and must escape before he's burned at the stake.
Car On My Head: Jonathan tests his abilities while being crushed. He's sealed in a vacuum bag as its air is sucked out; he has massive amounts of weight placed upon his stomach and attempts a final escape with the weight of a car on his head.

North Andover, Mass. – Merrimack senior captain linebacker Shawn Loiseau (Shrewsbury, Mass.) has been selected to play in the 87th annual East-West Shrine Game, which will be played Saturday January 21 at St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Year will be participating in the nation's longest-running college all-star game, one that benefits Shriners Hospitals for Children nationwide.

Day #6 – Thursday January 19
Today was another great day! Our team chemistry has improved greatly since the first day. We were in just helmets and shoulder pads today.
When we arrived this morning Todd McShay and the College Game Day bus was sitting outside of our practice. There were a bunch of news reporters and scouts at our practice once again.
Both our offense and defense looked the best they have all week today. We were both battling and making plays in practice. All of our special teams got installed and they have me on every special teams unit as well as working in at the starting linebacker spot.
At the end of practice all the guys wanted me to break it down which felt pretty cool. Being a part of a team with all of these guys is unexplainable. This whole experience has been so great and I am so thankful for the opportunity to be able to play for such a great cause and with all these great players.
After practice I was approached by some news reporters from the Tampa Bay Times and they told me they wanted to write an article on me.
We are only two days from game day and I can feel the butterflies already building up. I can't wait until Saturday to fly around and smack some people and represent Merrimack and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I am right now. My linebacker coach Mike Ginetti has helped me tremendously over my four year career at Merrimack and all the little things that he has stressed and been on my back for to make me a better player is all paying off down here. Fundamentals and technique are huge and that is something that coach Ginetti was always huge on and I appreciate what he and all the rest of my coaches have done for me! Can't wait for Saturday!
Day #5 – Wednesday January 18
Today was the last day of full pads for the week. All the guys seemed to be pretty sore but I was feeling good when I woke up this morning. All the training that I have been doing at gridiron training leading up to this game after the season ended has really prepared me.
There seemed to be the largest crowd of scouts, cameras and media today at practice. When we arrived there was an ESPN bus was sitting on the outside of our field.
The coaches had me working in the starting lineup at middle linebacker and I had another good practice. All the guys have been great down here so far. A couple of the guys and coaches have been calling me Lattimer, which is a guy from the movie "the program", because of how intense and energetic I am.
This whole experience has been more than amazing. I'm still kind of star struck playing with the guys that I have been watching on television for the last couple of years but it feels good to go against them and smack them around a little also!
Missing everyone back home and hope all my guys at Merrimack are training hard in preparation for next year! There are only a couple days until the game and I can already feel the butterflies building. But we have an amazing squad and I am looking forward to making an impression Saturday.
Day #4 – Tuesday January 17
Today was the first practice with full pads for us. We had camera crews and as many scouts as the first day of practice here today watching our every move. Things went great.
Our defense looks really good so far, and our offense is full of athletes including running back Tauren Poole from Tennessee; he is the quickest guy I have ever played against. Our fullback is from Georgia; he weighs 270 pounds and is a beast. Our offensive line is made up of some huge guys. They are all over six-foot-two and are at least 300 pounds. One of the offensive guards that I play against in drills and scrimmages is from the University of South Florida and he is six-foot-three, 335 pounds.
This is nothing like I see at the Division II level. I think I have turned some heads down here and have shown that I can hold my own against the best competition in the country. I have had multiple meetings with NFL scouts from a variety of teams, and I continue to work hard and soak in this experience as much as possible.
Tomorrow is our last day of full pads and our last day to get some hits in before Saturday's game.
I'm holding it down for all my teammates at Merrimack and representing Division II to the fullest while I'm here. Hope everyone back home is doing well and I promise that the East team and I have something in store for everyone when Saturday comes!!
Day #3 – Monday January 16
"This morning we had to wake up, go to breakfast and then had official height, hand measurement, wingspan and weight done. It was done on a stage only wearing spandex shorts in front of NFL scouts. I weighed in at 241.5 pounds. After that we had our first practice of the week. We arrived at Tropicana field and went into the locker room where we had our own locker with our name on it. All of our equipment and gear were already laid out for us. I am wearing number 10 for the game this week. The guy to my left is a tight end from Miami hurricanes and the guy to my right is a defensive back from Norte dame. It was funny to see the Merrimack helmet in between those two schools helmets. Our first practice was just helmets and it was in front of probably 100 NFL scouts from all 32 teams. The field was lined with them and they were watching and marking down our every move. Playing with these guys is an unbelievable experience and something that I will never take for granted. After practice we went back to the hotel and were given massages and then had personal interviews with the NFL teams that were interested in us. Everything is going great so far and tomorrow will be our first practice with pads. So I get to see what these division one boys are really all about tomorrow morning! My attitude is to never be out worked and that is what I continue to do in every drill and every step that we are put through while being down here."
Day #2 – Sunday January 15
"The second day here we got the opportunity to go to the shrine children's hospital and spend time with the children and families from the hospital. It was a great experience and to be able to spend time with these kids makes coming down here about more than just football. These kids are tougher mentally than any of us athletes are physically. To see how these children responded to all of us being there and being given the chance to sign autographs and do activities with them was special. "Strong legs run so that weak legs may walk" is the slogan that the shrine hospital uses and seeing these kids really showed what it means to be a part of such a good cause."
Day #1 – Saturday January 14
"Arriving here in Tampa has been even better than I expected. I am surrounded by some of the best college football players in the country and have an opportunity to do something that I have wanted to do ever since I was little. After arriving at the hotel we were given our shrine game gear and our itinerary. Then we were given multiple questionnaires and NFL sheets to fill out. After meeting my roommate and teammate who is also a linebacker, Najae Goode from West Virginia, we went down to our team meeting and I got a chance to meet the rest of my team. I was surrounded by guys from all the biggest programs in the country including Florida, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Georgia and the list goes on. I feel right where I belong here. No matter what their logo on the side of their helmet says or where they come from, at the end of the day we all bleed and sweat the same way. I have been waiting for this opportunity my whole life and I can't wait to get on that field and represent for Merrimack College, the NE-10 and all of the small school guys around the country."
A three-time first team All-Conference selection, Loiseau became the first two-time Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Year selection in Merrimack football history in 2011. Loiseau was named 2nd team All-American by Don Hansen and honorable mention All-American by D2 football during his senior and junior seasons in which he recorded a school-record 133 tackles and 121 tackles respectively. Loiseau has been selected as an All-Region selection for three straight seasons, as he has led the Warriors and conference in tackles all three years. He has ranked second nationally in tackles per game two straight seasons and led the conference in total tackles both seasons.
Check back each day this week as Loiseau will be blogging about all of his experiences from his week at the Shrine game. The East-West Shrine Game will be played tomorrow at 4pm and will be broadcasted live on the NFL Network.

My daughter is five years old and she's in school now. Are there any booster shots or vaccines that she might need? What are they? Thank you.
22nd January 2014 07:19 AM #2
Dear Leslie,
This depends on where you live as different countries have different vaccination schedules. Here is the current Australian Vaccination Schedule. These vaccinations are recommended by the program at age 4:
- Diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (whooping cough) and inactivated poliomyelitis (polio) (DTPa-IPV)
- Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) (to be given only if MMRV vaccine was not given at 18 months)
Your doctor's surgery should have records of your daughters vaccinations and should be able to help you with this.
One important point to note is that vaccinations are a parents' choice. There are benefits and risks associated with each vaccination and every parent needs to decide if they are happy with their child being vaccinated or not. Part of this decision will perhaps depend on the likelihood of your child contracting a particular disease (i.e. what is the likelihood of this disease where you live?) and how severe and likely are the risks associated with the vaccine.
A good book on this topic is The Parents Concise Guide to Childhood Vaccinations by Lauren Feder.
Please do post back if you have any further questions or comments about this.
Warm wishes,

I want the important vaccines. Thank you for your suggestions LJ.
23rd January 2014 06:15 AM #4
Dear Leslie,
Your doctor's surgery is required to keep records of your child's vaccinations so I would check with them. Some schools also keep their own records.
Warm wishes,

Juvenile Proceedings
Victims in juvenile proceedings have the same rights as those in adult proceedings. Unless the juvenile is waived into adult court to be prosecuted by district attorneys because their crime is very serious, the case is handled by the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) in the Department of Health and Social Services. In the least serious juvenile cases, the juvenile probation officer works with the parents, victims, schools, community groups, and others to hold the offender accountable without a court hearing. In more serious juvenile cases, the case may go before a judge for adjudication. Department of Law attorneys prosecute the case before the judge. These hearings are closed to the public; however, the victim has the right to attend all hearings that the offender has the right to, just as in adult proceedings.
DJJ also manages the youth correctional facilities in Alaska. DJJ is responsible for victim assistance and notification from arrest through release in these cases. Visit their web site for office locations and other information about juvenile justice in Alaska.
The Judicial Council's Handbook (PDF 130K) for Victims of Crime in Alaska also has a short description of how juvenile cases differ from adult cases.

Kudos for GSA Smart Card Handbook
March 19, 2004
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1499
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Government Smart Card Handbook, published by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), won praise this week from the Smart Card Alliance, a non-profit industry group.
"This is the most comprehensive and complete reference on smart cards currently available," Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance of Princeton Junction, N.J., said in a press release.
The Government Smart Card Handbook, published in February and endorsed by The Smart Card Interagency Advisory Board, provides lessons learned and technical advances during the past four years, when the federal government issued more than four million smart cards. It updates the 2000 handbook.
"The handbook would not have been possible without the collaboration of the Office of Management and Budget and many agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security, Interior, State, Veterans Affairs, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration and others," said Mary Mitchell, GSA's program executive for E-Government policy. "Interviews with leading experts from across academia, industry, and government were conducted to assure accuracy and relevance of the material."
The handbook is valuable in customizing smart-card programs to meet individual federal agency requirements. Additional expertise is available through GSA's Government Smart Card Contract, administered by the Center for Smart Card Solutions of the Federal Technology Service.
The 2004 Government Smart Card Handbook is available on the Web at: http://www.smart.gov/smartgov/information/smartcardhandbook.doc

Portland to Host 2nd Safe Routes to School National Conference
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 7, 2008
The City of Portland, Oregon, recognized nationally for its walking and bicycling programs, was selected through a competitive application process to host the 2nd Safe Routes to School National Conference in 2009. The conference site was announced today by the National Center for Safe Routes to School and the Safe Routes to School National Partnership.
"We're excited to have Portland host this important conference," said Lauren Marchetti, Director of the National Center for Safe Routes to School. "Portland has been praised for encouraging its children and adults to walk and bicycle as viable transportation alternatives. Their proposal to host the conference included creative partnerships and an emphasis on scholarships that will increase attendance and set the stage for another successful SRTS conference," added Marchetti.
The conference is planned for the summer or autumn of 2009. The 1st Safe Routes to School National Conference, held in Dearborn, Michigan, in November 2007, exceeded expectations with more than 400 participants including program representatives, state transportation administrators, engineers, planners, elected officials, parents and community members.
"We're very pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Bicycle Transportation Alliance and their team in Portland to plan the 2nd Safe Routes to School National Conference. It's going to be an exciting event in a great location," said Deb Hubsmith, Director of the Safe Routes to School National Partnership.
"Oregon is a wonderful place for families to enjoy bicycling and walking," said Scott Bricker, Executive Director of the Bicycle Transportation Alliance in Portland. "Each year more and more families bicycle and walk to school, to run errands, and to get to fun destinations like our parks and shopping. In Portland, bicycling is growing at exponential rates, and each day it becomes safer and more pleasant for children, seniors, and families to ride. For the last three years, the Portland Safe Routes to School program has served 25 schools to promote, educate, and create safer bicycling and walking conditions," added Bricker.
The Bicycle Transportation Alliance has trained more than 45,000 children in Oregon through its Walk + Bike education program. The statewide organization has more than 5,000 members and it has enlisted Kaiser Permanente as a partner to host the SRTS conference.
The Safe Routes to School National Conference provides an opportunity for individuals and organizations interested and involved with Safe Routes to School to network, engage in educational opportunities and form partnerships to enhance their Safe Routes to School work. Up to 600 participants can be accommodated to participate in the conference in Portland. For more information on the first conference, please visit www.saferoutesmichigan.org/nationalconference.htm.
The National Center for Safe Routes to School assists communities in enabling and encouraging children to safely walk and bike to school. Established in May 2006, the Center is maintained by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center with funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. For more information, please visit www.saferoutesinfo.org.
Launched in August 2005, the Safe Routes to School National Partnership is a fast-growing network of hundreds of organizations, government agencies and professional groups working to set goals, share best practices, secure funding, and provide educational materials to agencies that implement Safe Routes to School programs. For more information, please visit www.saferoutespartnership.org.
For more information on the SRTS conference, please contact Raquel Rivas at the National Center for Safe Routes to School (919) 962-5835, firstname.lastname@example.com.

1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The door glass may be hard to roll up and/or come out of the run channel. Our technicians tell us the repair can include adjustment of the run channel, regulator to glass, regulator to door, and if necessary shimming of the window regulator.
The manual transmission may become difficult to shift, this is commonly caused by binding between the synchronizer and the gear surface. Adding a special friction modifier to the manual transmission fluid will often correct this condition. If the problem persists revised synchronizer kits may be available.
Carbon buildup on the top of the pistons is common. As the buildup increases with over time, symptoms vary from light ticking, to hammering, to knocking noises. Performing a fuel injector cleaning procedure can often help the condition by removing some of the piston top deposits.
A squeal or squeak type noise may be heard from the rear brakes on application. Our technicians tell us there is an updated rear brake pad shim kit which can help reduce this type of noise.
The 80 amp fusible link for the charging system can fail and is often overlooked when diagnosing a charging system that is not working. Our technicians recommend to make sure this fusible link is OK before replacing any charging system components.
The transfer case may develop a leak at the driveshaft yoke which can result in a low fluid level leading to transfer case failure. It is recommended to monitor the transfer case for leaks and repair as necessary.
The power transfer unit (transfer case) and/or viscous coupling may fail due to unequal size or oversize tires. Use of incorrect or mismatched tires can cause the front and rear wheels to fight (driveline wrap-up) resulting in drive train failure. Our technicians recommend to use only matched, correctly sized tires and keep them properly inflated and rotated in order to maintain uniform tire wear.

More than 200 Chiefland Elementary School students will have the opportunity on Saturday to complete 26.2 miles of walking and running that started at the beginning of the school year at the 5 Points of Life Kids Marathon in Gainesville.
The 1.2-mile final "race" will cap off over a semester's worth of extracurricular achievement by the elementary schoolers.
"I'm excited for the kids that go to the race," said Brandy Horne, one of the facilitators of the CES miles program. "They have a goal and they are very proud of it."

Rock Hill, S.C. - The Brevard College Tornados football team saw its second winner in as many weeks as Eric Watts was recognized by the South Atlantic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts against Mars Hill College on September 17th.
Watts punted the ball four times for 209 yards, with three of his kicks traveling over 50 yards in successfully pinning the Lions inside their 20-yard line three times, in averaging 52.2 yards per punt attempt in the contest.
Watts opened the game with a field position turning 60 yard punt in the first quarter, tying the longest punt in the SAC this season, and then added 56 and 51 yard punts, consistently pinning the Lions on their side of the field.
The 2011 Preseason SAC First Team Punter, Watts leads the South Atlantic Conference in punting average by nearly 10 yards per attempt, averaging 49.1 yards per punt attempt. His 49.1 yards per attempt average leads all of the NCAA Division II.
Watts, a two-time recipient of the award last season, joins Derek Church (Offensive), Richard Ray (Defensive) and Austin Clark (Special Teams) as Brevard's SAC Player of the Week recipients for the 2011 season.

With all of the talk of the shrinking portable navigation market, you'd think we'd be seeing fewer of these things popping up. Yet here we have the RightWay 550, RightWay GPS' newest entry into the world of turn-by-turn navigation devices.
RightWay's previous entry, the Spotter 500, underwhelmed us with its performance, but kept our attention with its NASCAR twist. This new model features better hardware and greatly improved software and makes due without the NASCAR showmanship--at least until the upcoming Spotter 550 Tony Stewart Edition becomes available.
The RightWay 550 is built around a 4.3-inch resistive touch screen--which is pretty much the standard for portable navigation devices these days. The device features a 480x272-pixel resolution and is fairly responsive as resistive screens go. Surrounding the screen is a glossy bezel that's printed with the RightWay logo. The juxtaposition of the glossy black with the matte antiglare LCD touch screen highlights the fact that the bezel is a serious fingerprint magnet.
The backside of the unit features a very attractive matte finish and is where you'll find the 550's loudspeaker. Along the top edge is the power/sleep button, and along the right edge are a headphone jack, an SD card slot, and a Mini-USB port for charging and syncing.
Under the hood, the RightWay 550 is powered by the SiRF Atlas IV GPS processor and the SiRF Star IV GPS receiver, which should give the 550 more-accurate positioning than the older SiRF Atlas III based Spotter we tested last year, as well as faster satellite lock and general performance. The unit features 128MB of RAM and 2GB of solid state storage for map and POI data.
The RightWay 550 ships with a suction cup windshield mount that locks into place with a lever. The mount's arm is adjustable with a pair of locking joints, one at the base that allows vertical movement and another where the arm meets the cradle that allows left to right movement. We're not a fan of this mount because it's pretty limited in its movement. Garmin and TomTom use ball joints for their mounts, which afford a much higher degree of flexibility.
Interestingly, the mount's cradle features an integrated holster for a hidden stylus, not that you'll ever use it. Also in the box is a 12-volt to USB power cable, and an adhesive dashboard-mounting disc.
At its most basic level, the RightWay 550 runs on the Windows CE.Net 6.0 operating system. When you boot the device, you're greeted with an extremely basic menu that features two large icons: one for Navigation and another for Settings. The Settings menu features options for volume, power, language, etc. However, touching the Navigation icon boots the CoPilot Live 8 software, which is where things start to get interesting. Just about everyone who powers up a GPS device is probably going to be interested in immediately navigating, so we're not sure why the RightWay 550 doesn't just boot directly into the CoPilot software instead of making users choose the obvious option and wait through another loading screen.
CoPilot Live 8 features much crisper graphics than the main menu screen and much more vibrant colors. Here is where you'll find all of the navigation features and options essential for choosing and navigating to your destination.
The CoPilot software features turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech street names. Maps can be displayed in 2D and 3D views with graphic lane guidance for highway exits and interchanges. Maps feature 3D POI icons that can be tapped to gather more info about the gas station, restaurant, or other POI in question and navigate to it. There is also a third map view called SafetyView that aims to limit driver distraction by displaying then next direction as large text on a black background until you approach the turn, at which point, the text is replaced by the familiar map screen.

USC is a disappointing 3-6 but the Trojans remain outwardly confident as center Omar Oraby believes they can still win the Pacific-12 Conference title.
"I think so, yes," Oraby said. "We've played a lot of difficult teams that's prepared us."
USC's schedule is ranked the seventh toughest in the nation by CBSSports.com and the teams that defeated the Trojans are 50-6. The schedule is also an upgrade for Oraby, who transferred from Rice.
"It's a whole different level," he said. "It's more physical, the game is much quicker. It's much tougher competition."
Even with the improved atmosphere, Oraby responded with 15 points against No. 13 Minnesota.
"That was the best he's played," USCcoach Kevin O'Neill said.
Decision time for O'Neill
Coach Kevin O'Neill has used about a 12-man rotation so far but said he might trim down to an eight- or nine-man rotation after playing three top-25 teams (San Diego State, New Mexico, Minnesota) in the past four games.
"I'm able to start figuring out who to play," he said. "This tough stretch showed us that."
No time to panic
O'Neill said USC's record is not a cause for alarm especially because of the schedule.
"I think every team thinks they're better than they are in the beginning," he said. "But we're not thinking, 'Oh, my goodness (because of our record).'"
But some players are under scrutiny, including leading scorer J.T. Terrell, who averages 11.3 points butmakes only 30 percent of his shots.
"If he doesn't do more, he won't play," O'Neill said.
Welcome break
USC plays UC Riverside (2-7) at 4 p.m. today at the Galen Center, the Trojans' first game in seven days. The Trojans played their three previous games in a six-day span.
"This break will help us a lot withour preparation," Oraby said.
Today's game is a doubleheader with the USC women's basketball team, which plays Texas A&M at noon.
Stat of the day
USC has made seven more field goals than its opponents but been outscored by 40 points. Opposing teams made 30 more 3-point shots and 24 more free throws than the Trojans.
