Ilana Shemesh and Mindy Levy
Ilana Shemesh, an American-born midwife who immigrated to Israel in l973, is a pioneer and leader in the struggle for childbirth reform in Israel. She received her nursing and midwifery degree in Israel, and has been stroking moms and catching babies since l982. While working for 18 years in hospital labor rooms, she began a private midwifery service providing homebirths and was instrumental in opening the first homestyle hospital birthing rooms in Israel. Ilana specializes in minimal-intervention, women-led natural childbirth and gentle birth for the baby. Her goal is to help empower women through birth by supporting self-expression and choice in childbirth. Since 2001 Ilana is only attending homebirths and births in her cabins in her backyard. She is married to a very supportive man and is the mother of three girls, the last of whom she birthed at home. Her hobbies include being a grandma, arts and crafts and gardening.
Mindy Levy has been a midwife for since 1995, 10 working in the hospital, six as a homebirth midwife. She also owns and runs a birth center called Agoola and has been involved in educating midwives, doulas and childbirth educators for 13 years. She is a founding member a project in which Israeli and Palestinian midwives meet in order to participate in a dialogue where they can discuss midwifery, mothering, birth and life.
Mindy tell us: "We believe in peace through midwifery. I do volunteer work with pregnant and postpartum women who have fled from Sudan and Eritrea, have crossed the Israeli-Egyptian border and are currently living in Israel as refugees. I am also involved in a midwifery project in Tanzania called FLEMAFA which is now committed to building a maternity waiting house in Kisarawe in an attempt to solve the life-threatening problems of a lack of transportation solutions in times of birth emergencies."

Cancer Genetics
Inherited Cancers
What cancers are considered "inherited cancer"?
Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases. It is the end result of mistakes that occur in the DNA, the code responsible for the structure, growth, and function of the cell. These mistakes can change the normal growth control of the cell. It is the accumulation of multiple DNA mistakes or changes over many years that allows a normal cell to become abnormal, grow without control, and eventually become a cancer. The majority of cancer occurs in the absence of a significant family history and is caused by these acquired DNA changes. These changes are often a result of environmental and hormonal exposures. Acquired DNA changes cannot be passed from one generation to the next so this type of cancer is considered sporadic (a chance event) and not hereditary. A single inherited factor is felt to be responsible for about 5-10% of all cancers. Inherited DNA changes are passed down to us from our mothers or fathers through the egg or sperm. Individuals born with a single change in a particular section of the DNA involved with cancer susceptibility will have a much greater chance for developing certain cancers in their lifetime. However, not everyone with a cancer susceptibility gene will develop cancer. Since 5-10% of ALL cancers may be inherited, it is more important to look at the pattern of cancer occurrence in the family than to look at a specific kind of cancer; for instance, if you have two first degree relatives with the same kind of cancer. A first degree relative is a parent, sibling, or child. Other red flags include: 1) Cancer that occurs at an unusually young age. [Prostate cancer at age 38, when it usually occurs at age 60 or older.] 2) Cancer that occurs in multiple primary sites within the same organ. [Different tumors in the colon in different sections of the colon.] 3) Associated cancers in several close relatives. [Breast cancer and ovarian cancer; colon cancer and uterine cancer; melanoma and pancreatic cancer.] 4) Cancer in an unusual sex. [Male breast cancer.] 5) A primary cancer occurring in paired organs. [Breast cancer occurring in both breasts; eye tumors in both eyes.] 6) An individual who has had two or more primary cancers. [Ovarian cancer diagnosed after breast cancer.] 7) An individual who has been diagnosed with a known hereditary cancer. [Familial adenomatous polyposis or multiple endocrine neoplasia.] 8) A rare or unusual tumor type. [Cancer of the small bowel.] You should explore your own personal family history in more detail.

Buehrle upset with walks in Thursday outing
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Mark Buehrle is known for his control within the strike zone, but he was uncharacteristically wild Thursday afternoon against Baltimore.
Buehrle surrendered one run on two hits while walking three over two innings of work. The veteran lefty said he felt great overall, but the walks are one thing to which he has always been averse.
"I hate walking guys," said Buehrle, who issued just 40 free passes in 202 1/3 innings last season. "I know I get myself in trouble, but if it's 3-1, 3-0, I'd rather throw a couple of strikes to get the guy to put the ball in play.
"But sometimes a walk is needed, if a guy hits a home run obviously a walk would have been better because he's still on base. But I've always hated walking guys; it just bugs the [heck] out of me."
One of Buehrle's issues Thursday afternoon was with the mound at Ed Smith Stadium. Buehrle felt fine warming up but said there was a large discrepancy between the mound in the bullpen and the mound on the field.
"I'm not usually that wild, and everything was up in the first inning," Buehrle said. "I'm not making excuses, but you have to adjust, but it seems like the one down in the bullpen was super high, and that one was super low, so it was throwing me off.
"But I have to make the adjustment. I'd rather give up 10 hits and no walks than five hits and five walks. I absolutely hate walking guys, so that's the frustrating part, but I felt great."
Buehrle was making his third start of the spring and has now allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings. That should not be overly alarming, as Buehrle said his numbers in the spring are usually poor, as evidenced by his 4.42 ERA since 2006 compared with a 3.82 mark for his regular-season career.

text: Manchin wins full U.S. Senate term By The Associated Press November 6, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito addresses her supporters at the Embassy Suites hotel in Charleston, after turning back Democratic challenger Howard Swint and winning her seventh term in Congress. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia voters chose to send U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin back to Capitol Hill for a full six-year term on Tuesday, rejecting a GOP effort to derail his bid by appealing to the state's low regard for President Barack Obama.West Virginia voters also re-elected the state's three members of the U.S. House of Representatives: Republicans Shelley Moore Capito and David McKinley and Democrat Nick Rahall.A Democrat like Obama, Manchin campaigned as an independent voice for the state who has disagreed with the president over such issues as coal, federal spending and the national debt. Courting the tea party vote, GOP Senate nominee John Raese argued that Manchin has helped the Democrats maintain a majority in the Senate that has allowed Obama to pursue his agenda.Manchin overcame both Raese and Mountain Party candidate Bob Henry Baber."I think the people know me. They know that I fight for West Virginia, and I love every human being in this state,'' Manchin told The Associated Press. "I love this country. We need to come together.''In a state where he suffers some of his lowest approval ratings, Obama lost West Virginia's five electoral votes as he did in 2008, this time to Republican Mitt Romney. Manchin called for the eventual winner of the national race to launch an immediate 50-state "healing tour,'' starting in West Virginia."I'm just so committed to that. We just need to reach out,'' Manchin said. "Forget about our party politics. Start thinking about our future.''Manchin and Raese had similarly sparred when they ran in a 2010 special election prompted by the death of U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd. A popular governor midway through his second term, Manchin overcame that attempt by Raese to tie him to Obama -- partly with a now-famous ad that showed Manchin shooting a rifle at the president's carbon emissions legislation. Raese lost by just over 10 percent of the vote. The 65-year-old Democrat sought to build on that maverick image in this year's rematch. He won the endorsement of the state Chamber of Commerce, the West Virginia Coal Association and the NRA, and outraised Raese more than eightfold. Raese has attracted less than $530,000 from contributors, and the multimillionaire and industrialist has loaned his campaign nearly $800,000.But after repeatedly supporting his bids for office, the state's largest anti-abortion group had targeted Manchin for defeat over his votes regarding the federal health care overhaul and Planned Parenthood. Endorsing Raese, West Virginians for Life urged votes against the incumbent in fliers distributed outside churches the Sunday before Election Day."[Manchin] has kind of betrayed the pro-life movement, and I am very pro-life,'' said 60-year-old Janet Adams of Newburg, who voted for Raese.But Jeanie Farley and her husband of 55 years, Rick, said they voted against Raese. Among other concerns, the two Democrats cited the Republicans' economic proposals. "It looks like the middle class has disappeared,'' said Rick Farley, 76.Raese is chairman of the board of West Virginia Radio Corp. and the MetroNews radio network, and chief executive of steel and limestone producer Greer Industries. Besides the 2010 contest, Raese lost three previous statewide campaigns, including two for the Senate.Manchin wasn't just campaigning in West Virginia. He endorsed Joe Donnelly, a Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful in Indiana, in a video last month. He taped a similar spot last week for Democrat Bob Kerrey in Nebraska's Senate race. Donnelly won; Kerrey did not. In the House, Capito won her seventh term representing West Virginia's 2nd District by defeating Democrat challenger Howard Swint on Tuesday. Capito has fought against the Environmental Protection Agency, joining with other House Republicans to pass the ill-fated "Stop the War on Coal Act.'' She has accused the agency of working against states.Swint had argued that voters wanted someone to challenge the coal industry and reject the notion that the EPA is out to kill jobs in West Virginia. Rahall won his 19th consecutive term in West Virginia's 3rd District, fighting off a challenge from Republican Rick Snuffer, a state delegate from Raleigh County, to win on Tuesday.Snuffer, who also lost to Rahall in 2004, tried to portray Rahall as a congressman who hadn't fought hard enough against the Obama administration and federal regulators when it comes to coal policies. Rahall has said the coal industry is his No. 1 concern. But he's argued for diversifying the Southern West Virginia economy and retraining laid-off miners for jobs in industries such as oil and gas, timbering, agriculture, tourism, technology and health services. McKinley won his second term in the state's 1st District by defeating Democrat Sue Thorn, a former community organizer.McKinley is a former state GOP chairman who was swept into office on tea party support two years ago.McKinley has said he wants to make Medicare a block-grant program and give control to the states. Though he doesn't support privatizing Social Security, he supports increasing the eligibility age and allowing people to opt out and withdraw the money they've paid into the system.He is the first Republican to represent the district since 1969.

Usually, I am good about making a meal plan and sticking to it. When I don't, crazy things tend to come out of the kitchen.
Last week, between work and doctor appointments and the need to just nap, the plan and the shopping did not get done.
There was also the question of grocery shop or pedicure. Well, let's just say my toes, with the candy-apple red polish, look lovely.
As for dinner, planning and shopping would need to be done on the go, literally. I was driving home one day, thinking about what would be easy and fast, what was already in the fridge and what would need to be purchased.
After a restaurant-heavy weekend, I was determined that the week would include all home-cooked meals. Even if it meant quick grocery runs on the way home. No takeout. No drive-thrus.
As I sat in traffic and did my mental inventory of the kitchen, I remembered a favorite easy dish of chicken cutlets with a filling of cheese and tomato that had fallen off my radar for no particular reason. I think I must have just been making it a lot and was in a rut.
But being such a simple dish, I was able to recall what I would need to get to supplement what I already had. To make prep easier, I skipped getting chicken breast pieces that need to be pounded into cutlets and went right for the pieces that are already thin enough.
The filling, made with Parmesan cheese, Italian parsley, garlic and a little anchovy paste (no, it does not make it fishy, it just adds a light salty earthiness), is easy to make. The tomatoes merely have to be washed and sliced and added to the dish.
The key to keeping these together is to not cut the tomato too thick and to make sure the chicken gets nice and brown on the first side before you flip it.
The addition of a little wine or broth to the pan results in a lovely pan sauce or jus that is a light but flavorful addition drizzled over the top of the finished dish.
It was far from crazy and much tastier than takeout.
Tomato-and-cheese-stuffed chicken pockets
Yield: 4 servings
1 cube frozen garlic, thawed (or 1 clove garlic, minced and mashed to a paste)
1-2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1/4 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
4 chicken cutlets (about 1/4 pound each), flattened to 1/4-inch thickness
2 Roma tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
Extra chopped Italian parsley for garnish, optional
Cook's notes: Anchovy paste can be found at most supermarkets in the canned fish aisle. I like the saltiness and the little bit of umami this adds. If you do not like it, just leave it out or use less. For our tastes, 2 teaspoons is just right.
1. Stir together garlic, anchovy paste, parsley, Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon olive oil to make a thick paste.
2. Lay chicken cutlets flat on a prep board, season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the pieces, spreading it out to cover one side of each cutlet.
3. Place two tomato slices on one end of each chicken cutlet then fold the other half of the cutlet to cover the tomatoes, pressing gently.
4. Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, being careful not to let them unfold. Brown for about 2 minutes on one side then flip. Brown 2 minutes on the other side.
5. Reduce heat to low, add the white wine or broth and cover the skillet. Cook 3-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
6. Serve with pan juices and a sprinkle of the chopped parsley garnish, if using.

Q I am a responsible parent and I want to know what the law is when it comes to entering a store to pick up a few items with a child inside my car.
I have a 7½-year old who is perfectly happy to sit in the car with a book while I get some groceries. I generally do not allow her to do so. While I trust her, the last thing I want to see is someone dial 911 and get police to grab my kids and have a case slapped on me.
And is the law the same when it comes to the parent picking up groceries from a Safeway vs. some smaller convenience store with the kid inside and just a few feet away from the store?
Please advise.
Aarthi Rishi
A It is illegal to leave a child 6 years of age or younger unattended in a motor vehicle when there are conditions that present a significant risk to the child's health or safety. What is significant? Leaving a child in a closed car on a very hot day, for sure. And parking at the far end of a large parking lot may also qualify.
Q Also, what about having two kids in the car, with the older one being 7½ and the second 4 years old?
I am sure this will be a great help to a ton of parents, especially the ones who have two kids and who they are shuttling here and there and trying to pick up some stuff on the way home from school after picking up their kids.
Aarthi Rishi
A California's vehicle code says if the child is 6 years or younger, the other person in the car must be 12 or older.
Q What are they doing to Calabazas Boulevard in Santa Clara between El Camino Real and Cabrillo? It is a divided road with the creek running down the middle, two lanes plus a bike lane in both directions. Recently new temporary lines have been drawn that appear to be reducing the lanes to one for cars, and a no man's land between the left bike lane and the car lane. I miss my wide boulevard! What is the point of this?
Anne Greenia
A To make the road safer. The city received a federal grant to improve safety along the on-street portion of the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail. Numerous public meetings were held and it was decided to reduce one travel lane on each side of Calabazas and place the lone bicycle lane against the creek.
While removing a lane of traffic will raise the ire of many, city officials believe there will be several benefits. It will reduce the number of vehicles needing to cross the left side bicycle lane. The only crossings will be at stop signs or intersections with traffic lights. The changes should also ease driveway conflicts and lessen right-hook collisions with bicyclists.
Numerous signs and messages informing everyone of the changes will be installed soon. Work will be done within a few weeks.
Q I read about Caltrans' efforts to get drivers to slow down before the railroad crossing on Highway 129 near Aromas by installing special road markings. What they need to do is straighten the curve.
Bob Parker
A That is in the works. Caltrans is designing a project to improve the alignment through here to reduce the number of crashes at the curve at the Union Pacific underpass. Construction could begin late next year.
For now, the state has installed speed reduction lane markings in a pattern of progressively reduced spacing to give drivers the impression that their speed is increasing.
Q I've been hearing a lot about the new Tesla Model S. Elon Musk says he intends to make a less expensive version of the Model S. Is there any truth to the rumor that he intends to call it the Model T?
Carl Flarity
A Only if it has a hand crank in the front.

With the Washington Nationals in search of a new manager for the 2014 season after Davey Johnson announced last November this season would be his last at the help of the team, Jayson Werth was asked about the possibility of fired Phillies manager Charlie Manuel taking over next season. His response was a resounding "yes."
"Oh, of course," Werth told CSN's Mark Zuckerman Friday afternoon after learning Manuel had been replaced in Philadelphia. "I don't know if he fits into the organization's plan or whatever. But I mean, I love playing for the guy."
MORE: Matt Williams a candidate for Nationals | Fagan: Sandberg's horrible luck
Werth spent four seasons playing for Manuel in Philadelphia before leaving for Washington after the 2010 season to a tune of a $126 million contract. Manuel gave Werth the chance to play every day back in 2008.
"I owe him a lot," Werth said. "It took a lot for me to win him over. But once he put me in there, he believed in me as much, if not more, than anyone I've ever played for. I owe him a lot. He was the one that kind of pushed me to become the player I became."
Fired amidst a 4-19 stretch month-long slump, Manuel was replaced Friday by Ryne Sandberg. While Manuel said he would need time to think about his future, Werth said he talked with Manuel earlier this season about his future plans.
"He guaranteed me he would be managing somewhere next year," Werth told Zuckerman. "This was probably ... I think I was on the DL in May when I talked to him. We'll see. Time changes things. But at the time when I talked to him then, he was adamant he wanted to manage."
One thing that could eliminate Manuel from consideration from the start is the organization's assumed desire for a younger manager who is ready to be in Washington for many years to come.
"I think they've had their fill of old managers," Johnson said Friday. "I have no idea. I haven't had those discussions with (Nationals GM Mike Rizzo) and what he has on his mind. (Manuel) is a good one. I like him."
Werth also called Manuel "the best manager I ever played for, nothing against Davey."

All religions have their Xenus, multi-armed elephants, or magic babies, their morally ambiguous prophets, their tall-tales and scandals. They even ask for millions of dollars from the faithful.
But the defectors who claim to have been bilked say this scheme is different, manipulating local parishes for the sake of central church finances. And once you talk to them, the stereotypes start to fade. These donors weren't brainwashed weirdos. They were more average joes than creepy cultists — searching, like the rest of us, for a pew, a community, a how-to guide for life. They're not familiar with corporate intrigue or mass donation drives.
This increasingly public wave of internal strife comes at the worst possible time. Over the past year, the number of vocal and visible Scientology exiles began to increase at a rate that surprised even the staunchest of church critics. TomKat fever boosted news coverage, while Lawrence Wright's sprawling 2011 New Yorker profile of filmmaker Paul Haggis, who split acrimoniously and loudly from the church, gave way to a new book. Along with Janet Reitman's 2011 book, Inside Scientology: The Story of America's Most Secretive Religion, investigators and defectors have begun to organize like never before, shining uninvited klieg lights into the church's carefully cultivated shadows. Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master wasn't the thinly veiled exposé some may have clamored for, but still sparked conversation about Hubbard and the religion's history; sophisticated whistleblower news sites like Mark Bunker's xenutv.com, shared among defectors, did even more.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

The range will vary depending on several factors:
The output power of the FM Transmitter 2 is set to the maximum limit specified by the FCC. Most of our customers achieve 40 - 60 feet depending on their situation. The signal will travel up to 70' under good conditions. The FM Transmitter-2 will work better in a noise free environment. In a noisy environment (such as one with lots of FM and computer noise) you can expect less range. We recommend extending the FM transmitter-2 input cable away from the computer (or any other RF noisy device) when connected.
In open environments with minimal radio noise, the range of an FM transmitter can be easily increased by attaching a length of wire to the telescoping whip antenna of the FM transmitter. In our experiment, we attached a 31-inch length of wire to the whip antenna of an FM transmitter using an alligator clip (Any wire will work. Any clip that secures the wire to the transmitter's antenna will work).
We attached the other end of the wire to a PVC pipe to keep the wire vertically oriented. We could have used a regular thumb tack, a stationery clip, or just about anything to pin the end of the wire up vertically.
As the end user, you can search the internet on ways to increase the range for many electronic devices. If you are are having range problems, feel free to Contact Us.
250 µV @ 3 meters. It is the maximum allowed by the FCC.
Yes. It is certified by the FCC.
Yes, if you are transmitting from a stereo device.
Yes, but it must be a self-powered microphone (one that uses a battery to power the mic).
Any batteries can be used but transmitting range may not be as far because rechargeable batteries are generally lower voltage.
A set of AA Alkaline batteries rated at 2500 mAh would provide roughly 110 hours of runtime.
The cord is 6 feet long.
A Phase Lock Loop is a circuit that locks onto the frequency selected and keeps the signal from jumping to other frequencies.
If you are using the AC power adapter with the FM Transmitter 2 and have batteries inside (that are good), the loss of power (such as a power outage) and gain of power will not shut the unit off.
The audio input is analog which is used by most radios, televisions, computers, smartphones, and other electronics. Some newer televisions and stereo systems use digital audio outputs. Digital output would not be compatible but there are adapters (available elsewhere) that can convert the digital signals to analog.

In light of changing rosters, drug addictions, lip-synching controversies, and even death, the one thing that has always been constant is that the Red Hot Chili Peppers make great music videos. Not only are they zany and memorable, many are also iconic and should be considered as some of the greatest music videos ever made. From the spontaneity of "Can't Stop" to the absurdist "Give It Away", most Chili Pepper videos leave memorable impression behind. Besides the Beastie Boys, no other musical act can top the Chili Peppers as the kings of music videos. As such, here's a look back to a bygone era featuring the bands' 12 best music videos.
12. "Higher Ground" / Mother's Milk / 1989 / Directed by Bill Stobaugh and Drew Carolan
Although it's comparatively bland next to future videos, the video for "Higher Ground" introduced an unsuspecting mainstream audience to the funk-punk machinations of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With guitarist John Frusciante's neon colored jacket, and lead singer Anthony Kiedis' hipster hat, this video screams out 1989. Even though the kaleidoscopic background doesn't help with this, it served as the perfect image to convey the band's maniacal zest and kinetic vibrancy. The video alone makes viewers want to get up and dance just as much as the song itself does. Throw in bassist Flea's awesome stuffed animal pants (as seen in the video to "Bust a Move" as well) and you have the perfect video to introduce the Chili Peppers to mainstream America.
11. "Soul to Squeeze" / Coneheads Soundtrack / 1993 / Directed by Kevin Kerslake
Another black and white video, this time, one inspired by traveling freakshows of the 1930s, stands in stark contrast to the frenetic jubilance of "Give It Away". The fact that this video was filmed after John Frusciante had left the band adds to the very somber nature of the song, thus serving as a strengthening link between the song itself and the music video. The bleak black and white footage of a wandering circus heightens the lonely atmosphere generated by the track. Without being depressed, the video is depressing despite seeing Kiedis with a headful of snakes or Flea ride an elephant. The video for "Soul to Squeeze" is so timeless because of its originality, yet still finds a way to evoke the exact same emotions as the song itself.
10. "Warped" / One Hot Minute / 1995 / Directed by Gavin Bowden
The first single off the unjustifiably maligned One Hot Minute, and the first music video to feature new guitarist Dave Navarro, "Warped" serves its purpose incredibly well. The video opens up with anticipation, leaving the viewer wondering what will happen next until the song kicks into high gear, suddenly, if not spasmodically answering the viewers' questions. This was the publics' first official look at the new band that had developed quite a different look since Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Anthony Kiedis was back on drugs, Chad Smith looked like a member of Ace of Base, Flea is wearing a garbage bag as a poncho, and that guy from Jane's Addiction is now the guitarist… Oh and everyone's wearing leather underwear. But for however much the band had changed, here they were same as always, running rampant, but instead of a desert, they were rampaging in a tube with shutters. "Warped" showed the public that even though some things had changed within the band, their patented mania and vivaciousness still remained.
9. "Aeroplane / One Hot Minute / 1996 / Directed by Gavin Bowden
Because who doesn't like pleasure spiked with pain? The music video for "Aeroplane" is incredibly creative and random as it includes synchronized swimmers, an aerial swing set, Fleas' daughters' third grade class, and finally the dancers whom were inspired by a group of Mexican prostitutes who also double as assassins as well. The background is vibrant and colorful, and creates an atmosphere of fun to play along with the upbeat melody while heavily contrasting the dark subject matter of drug abuse. The video was different and original, and like One Hot Minute, often gets excluded from the praise it rightfully deserves.
8. "Otherside" / Californication / 2000 / Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
This monochromatic masterpiece perfectly captures the gothic and somber emotion of "Otherside". Like something from the mind of Tim Burton, the music video is almost horrific in imagery, yet provocatively poignant in concept. Being an homage to former guitarist Hillel Slovaks' battle with drug addiction (which eventually claimed his life), it makes perfect sense for the music video to reflect the terrifying and inhumane visuals someone high on drugs might see. Easily, the most powerful part of the video is the ending, which concludes in the exact same place where the video began, symbolizing the cycle of addiction, a concept the band was all too familiar with.
7. "Scar Tissue" / Californication / 1999 / Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
The video for "Scar Tissue" is so great that Green Day felt the need to rip off the Chili Peppers with their video for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Unlike most RHCP videos, this one does in fact reflect the song's subject matter of rebirth. After almost starving to death, overdosing on heroin, and being immolated alive, guitarist John Frusicante was invited back into the band just as the band was on the verge of breaking up. Frusciante saved the Chili Peppers from collapsing, who in turn saved him from a life of drug addiction and depression. Accordingly, the video depicts a band that has been beaten and battered, playing broken instruments, yet they still soldier on through the hot California desert. This is symbolic of the band itself struggling to heal itself to push forward in light of professional failure and personal troubles. By 1999, the year the single was released, the band and all of its members had been through their fair share of tragedies, yet they still persevered against all odds, and re-emerged stronger than ever before.

Hillary Clinton swats the flies
The dull thud you just heard was the sound of Republicans beating a dead horse. The sharp thwap you just heard was the sound of Hillary Clinton swatting them silly.
Clinton has already weathered two decades of Washington scandal-mongering — Vince Foster was "murdered," she was a college "radical," she was a "lesbian," she supposedly made too much money from commodity futures, she supposedly did wrong during Whitewater, whatever — so it's no surprise that she survived inquiries about Benghazi with nary a nick to her sky-high reputation on Wednesday.
Her current poll approval rating is 67 percent; congressional Republicans are stuck at 19 percent. Who won yesterday? You do the math.
Obviously, what happened in Benghazi was a disaster. Four Americans, including a well-loved ambassador, should not have died. An accountability panel - appointed by Clinton and helmed by former Joint Chiefs chairman Michael Mullen and respected diplomat Thomas Pickering - has already concluded that the State Department screwed up by not adequately securing that U.S. outpost in Libya. And Clinton herself has already vetted the panel's verdict. She said so again yesterday, in the Senate and House hearings.
But leave it to the Republicans to overreach and make fools of themselves. Clearly, a decisive electoral defeat has not tamed them.
Paul points to Iowa
Case in point, U.S. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Here's hoping that the tea party icon runs for president in 2016, as he's already threatening to do. Yesterday, we got an advance look at what a career ophthalmologist brings to the realm of public policy.
At one point he told Clinton, with an eye on the TV cameras (or, more specifically, 2016 Iowa caucus voters): "I'm glad that you're accepting responsibility. I think that ultimately, with you leaving, that you accept the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11. And I really mean that."
Wait, what? Benghazi is "the worst tragedy since 9/11?" I seem to recall that 20 little schoolkids were decimated just one month ago.
And with respect to foreign policy, I seem to recall that 4,488 Americans lost their lives, and tens of thousands more were wounded or maimed for life, in a needless war fought on false pretenses. When the Bush administration was ginning up its deceptions about Iraq, did Rand Paul ever utter a peep? Nope. Back in 2002, the eye doc was busy complaining, in letters to the editor, that the landmark Civil Rights Act was an assault on the right of property owners to discriminate on the basis of race.
Rand also told Clinton that, "had I been president at the time" of the Benghazi incident, "I would have relieved you of your post." As if this guy will ever get to the Oval Office without a visitor's pass. Clinton didn't even respond to that pronunciamento. Really, why bother?
A real turkey of a question
But the fun part came moments later. Rand asked her: "Is the U.S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey, out of Libya?"
"To Turkey?" she replied with incredulity. "Nobody has ever raised that with me."
Paul: "It's been in the news reports that shops have been leaving from Libya, and that they may have weapons."
Clinton clearly had no idea what he was talking about, and with good reason.
Forget the flap over whether Beyonce lip-synced on Inauguration Day, because this was way more entertaining: Rand was lip-syncing rumors that have lately circulated on right-wing forums.
What he cites as "news reports" are actually conspiracy theories - floated by Glenn Beck, Fox News, and various obscure websites - which allege (without a shred of proof) that the CIA has been buying weapons in Libya, and shipping them via Turkey to Syrian rebels affiliated with jihadist groups that kill Christians. Got all that? Clinton just swatted him away by suggesting that he ask the CIA.
Another tea-party senator, Ron Johnson, also buzzed around her for awhile, beating the dead horse about whether her department should have known right away that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was triggered not by a spontaneous mob, but by organized terrorists.
Yet again, we heard about how Susan Rice went on TV to say that it was a spontaneous mob. Yet again, the Obama administration was accused of orchestrating a deliberate coverup, to keep Americans from learning that the attackers were organized terrorists. Republicans floated those lines during '12 campaign, and got nowhere. And in December, a CNN poll found that Americans, by 54-40 percent, rejected the claim of a White House coverup.
Clinton indulged Johnson for a while, but finally, on the issue of whether the attackers were spontaneous or organized, she erupted: With four Americans dead, "What difference does it make at this point?"
Some conservatives gleefully floated that clip online, because of course it makes a difference to know what happened.
Yet, even here, in classic Republican fashion, Ron Johnson overreached. He suggested in a subsequent radio interview that Clinton had faked her emotional outburst (just like she had faked her blood clot illness, apparently). Then, a few hours later, Johnson surfaced on CNN and walked back his accusation, saying: "I probably speculated, and I shouldn't have."
If these Republicans (including the House GOPer who yesterday accused her of "letting the consulate become a death trap") were trying to derail a potential 2016 presidential candidacy, I doubt they succeeded.
According to the latest NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll, even 41 percent of Republicans applaud her stint as Secretary of State. As for all those dead-horse questions yesterday, ex-Bush homeland security advisor Frances Townsend went on CNN and called them "a waste of time." The problem, she lamented, was that Republicans "were so busy posturing."
Weary of outrage
Indeed, Erick Erickson, the prominent conservative blogger, recognized even in advance of the Hillary hearings that Benghazi was a loser for the GOP: "Conservatives...have become professional victims dialed up to 10 on the outrage meter. Who the hell wants to listen to conservatives whining and moaning all the time about the outrage du jour? Seriously?...Bitching about Benghazi doesn't do that either."
And if the "purveyors of outrage" (Erickson's term) persist in trying to bang Clinton over Benghazi, perhaps they should heed the general warning voiced this week by one of their own, Republican congressman Justin Amash: "The public is not behind us, and that's a real problem for our party."

Wide World Of Golf: Iconic beauty
Situated on the Kohala coast of the Big Island, the Mauna Kea Golf Course is the original layout of the island of Hawaii.
Alfred Cazimero, or "Buzz", as he is known to those around the clubhouse, has been the embodied the spirit of the Mauna Kea for 39 years. Buzz knows everyone here, greeting guests, shining shoes, and making everyone he comes in contact with feel welcome.
"I worked here nine years after the hotel was built," says Buzz. "I see all my friends come back every year."
"What i like to say is, he's my 'ambassador of aloha', says director of golf, Josh Silliman. "He makes everybody feel at home."
Buzz is just one part of the experience here at one of the most beautiful spots on earth. The 7,300 plus yard layout is as challenging as it is breathtaking. The deep blue Pacific serves as the backdrop for the majority of the holes, including the par-3 third hole, where an errant shot could find your ball swimming with the sea turtles and tropical fish.
"It really has held it's stature throughout all the years," says Silliman. "And is one of the best out here in the islands, certainly."
A 2008 renovation freshened up the layout, and added even more character with updated bunkers and the like, so if you make it to the big island, a visit to Mauna Kea is definitely a must.--and you've gotta stop by and say hi to Buzz.
"I try to make them feel at home," says Cazimero. "That's why they come back....and they're real nice. I love them."
From what I could tell, the feeling is certainly mutual.

Bedwetting, also known as sleep-related enuresis, is the involuntary release of urine while a child sleeps. Sleep-related enuresis is common in children with an incidence of about 30% of four year olds, 15% of five year olds, and 10% of six year olds. It gets better by itself as children get older with only 3% of 12 year olds and 1% of 15 year olds remaining affected. There is a clear genetic predisposition with the highest incidence (75%) occurring in children whose parents were both enuretic (bedwetters) during childhood.
The exact mechanism that explains the cause of sleep-related enuresis has not yet been discovered. It is considered a disorder of arousal in which the enuretic child fails to awaken during episodes of bedwetting.
There are two forms of enuresis: primary and secondary.
Primary enuresis. Sleep-related enuresis is termed primary when the child has not had a period of more than 3 months of sleep continence (or being dry at night) since birth. This is the most common form.
Secondary enuresis. Secondary enuresis is nighttime urination that redevelops in a child who was previously dry during sleep for at least 3 months. The secondary form is less common and is a cause for more concern.
Enuresis can be treated after a careful evaluation to determine if there is a potential cause of the problem (such as upper airway obstruction) that may need specific therapy. If not, then interventions geared towards the bedwetting can be tried. A careful history should be taken for other nighttime symptoms that could signal another sleep disorder that is contributing to the bedwetting, such as snoring, frequent leg movements or unusual movements at night. Prior urinary tract infections and difficulty with urination, including daytime urgency or frequency of urination, are also important in the history.
Non-medication interventions may include beeper systems worn at night. These alarms awaken the child to urinate and can result in remission rates of 50 to 70%.
Medications can also be used, with some older children being treated with a bedtime oral dose of Desmopressin (DDAVP). DDAVP is a synthetic analog of a hormone that controls body water excretion. This therapy helps in 60-75% of children. Response with DDAVP is rapid, often within a week.
It is recommended that parents discuss their child's bedwetting problem with the child's pediatrician or family practitioner. They will gather additional information and determine if any testing is needed or if a trial of treatment can be performed.
The good news is that children are likely to outgrow bedwetting as they get older. Until this happens, we generally suggest that they wear commercially available extra-absorbent underpants such as pull ups during the night to reduce laundry concerns.

Pedro makes me sad, I hope they pump up his value in 2014 and 2015 and then trade him. I hope the have a good 3rd base replacement by then, maybe they can move one of the catchers to third?
Oct 01, 2013 06:07 AM
If he is what he is right now, then he's still a useful player. I'll bet a lot of teams would like to have a 3B who can lead the league in HR, even if he bats .220. Just balance the lineup out with higher average/contact guys. Hurdle has done a good job mixing and matching his platoons this year, and you guys are in the playoffs, so it can't be too bad. If you guys beat my Reds today, I'll root for the Bucs to down the Cards for sure.

I recently created a program to log GPS information from a Garmin GPS18 antenna. The GPS uses a serial port on the docking station of my laptop for communication and USB for power. In order to deploy this application to a field location, I need to use a USB to Serial converter since the laptop itself does not have a serial port. The program runs fine using the dockingstation and it's serial port, however, when trying to use the USB to Serial converter it routinely errors out. The typical error is -1073807523, "VISA Read in GPS18_read.vi". I have also seen an error that read something like "Property node (argument 8) in VISA configure Serial Port (Instr).via - > GPS18_read.vi".
For troubleshooting, I have used "PuTTYtel" and verified that I can read the GPS18 out via the USB to Serial converter, without problems. Serial settings used are 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. But, when trying to read using the LabView vi, it throws the previously mentioned errors. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Serial settings used are 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
(I know it's a silly question, but there goes)
What is the serial port number that you use with PuTTyTel? Is it the same in LabVIEW? Are you using COM(port#) thru a VISA control? or an integer which represents the port number?
COM6 is used when using the USB to Serial converter. I'm using a "VISA Resource Name" drop down select in the vi to select the COM port.
Ultimately, I'm particularly interested in the $GPGGA string (for those familiar with NMEA messages) being output from the GPS. Here is an example of the string when it crashes;
Maybe a power issue? How are you connecting the two USB devices to the laptop? A USB device can be high power or low power. If you connect a passive style 'slim' laptop USB hub and connect the two devices to that, you may be power limited on the port.
Also, is the laptop running on battery? Power conservation modes may be trying to shut down your USB port...
Using two ports on the laptop. No, not running on the battery during dev. I do not believe it to be a power issue, because as I previously mentioned, the GPS messages (NMEA) are perfectly normal when I connect to the GPS device via PuTTYtel.

that string ain't right! GGA starts with Time, Lat, Long, so it looks garbled for the time and the first character of Latitude. Looks like the garbled characters add up: time is 8 chars, one for the comma, then the first d in the dddd.dddd of latitude.
are you sure the error is "-1073807523" ? that one is not in the VISA error list: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lverror/visa_error_codes/
but! "-1073807253" *is*, and that's a framing error (VISA got a frame that wasnt 8-n-1 as it expected, either because it wasn't sent or it read the HW incorrectly), which would account for the garbled text.
How are you reading from the serial buffer in LV?

Yes, my mistake, should be "-1073807253". And yes, I realize the $GPGGA message is incorrect. The "garbled" section is not always the same either.
Also, using the "VISA Read" function to read the buffer, which is then parsed.
post your code. if it works in a terminal emulator but not in your LV code, then it should be useful to take a look at how you string the VISA functions together.
Here is a section of the code. As I mentioned, when using the physical COM port on the laptop docking station it works just fine. It's only when I'm using the USB to Serial converter when I run into problems. Hope this helps.

ST. BART'S is a thriving and active Episcopal Church located in the heart of New York City; a sacred oasis amidst the corporate canyons of Midtown Manhattan.
A sacred gem of Byzantine art and architecture, St.Bart's was recognized as a New York City Landmark by the NYC Landmarks Commission in 1967 and continues to be a vital preservation initiative for midtown Manhattan.
At the heart is worship and prayer, with multiple weekday services andfour services every Sunday.
St. Bart's cares for and ministers from one of the nation's most recognized and beloved historic landmark buildings. Completed in 1918, it is composed of a Romanesque structure with Byzantine decoration. Taking up a full block between 50th and 51st Street on Park Avenue, it is a Manhattan rarity, a freestanding building in a dense corridor of corporate towers. The third church building in St. Bart's history, it is a great sacred and civic space.
With the original Waldorf Astoria Hotel next door and the United Nations nearby, St. Bart's is often a world crossroads. Our outdoor terrace is home to our restaurant, Inside Park at St. Bart's, which true to its name, also serves inside during the cooler months.
St. Bart's is renowned for fine music, religious and interfaith education for all ages, and for its daily food and shelter for New York's needy -- just steps from many of America's most powerful corporate headquarters.
More than the landmark building and location, the essence of St. Bart's is its community of members, friends and visitors—a community that lives the Gospel of God's radical welcome to everyone, that embodies the teaching of Jesus.
Within St. Bart's there are many smaller fellowship groups for those looking to find community within its larger portals. The adjoining Community House is home to our highly regarded Community Preschool, meeting spaces for 12-step groups, and a a full-fledged athletic facility (pool, gym, karate studio, etc.).
Welcome! Come be with us.

Anchoring ban proposal welcomed by most
Wednesday's (local time) proposal by golf's rulemakers for a ban on long putters being anchored to the body was mainly welcomed by players at this week's World Challenge, though some expressed disappointment.
In a bid to preserve the "skill and challenge" of putting, the Royal and Ancient (R&A) and United States Golf Association (USGA) said they wanted to outlaw the practice of anchoring by 2016.
While three of the last five major champions have used long 'belly' putters, the move by the game's rulemakers has been prompted mainly by the number of younger players now taking advantage of anchoring.
"I think it's in the best nature of the game," American Matt Kuchar, who uses a mid-length putter, told Reuters while preparing for Thursday's opening round at Sherwood Country Club.
"The game was not intended to be played that way (anchoring the putter). The game was intended to be played in a way that you control both ends of the club with every shot."
Intriguingly, Kuchar uses a putting stroke which would not be outlawed by the rulemakers' proposal since his putter rests against his left arm and not against his chest, stomach or chin.
The proposed Rule 14-1b states, in part: "The club is anchored 'directly' when the player intentionally holds the club or a gripping hand in contact with any part of his body, except that the player may hold the club or a gripping hand against a hand or forearm."
American Keegan Bradley, the first player to win a major using the anchoring technique when he triumphed at the 2011 PGA Championship, was among those unhappy about the likely change.
"In the next couple of years, I'm really going to have to figure out a way that's best for me to putt," he told Reuters. "I'm obviously not happy with the ruling, but I respect the USGA.
"They make the rules, and I'll adjust appropriately. I'm going to accept the challenge and hopefully do well when they do ban it."
Former world number one and 1992 Masters champion Fred Couples expressed some dissatisfaction with the proposal, along with confusion over the precise definition of anchoring.
"I do use a belly putter and when I started I used it for my back," American Couples, who has limited his playing schedule in recent seasons due to lingering back injuries, told Reuters.
"I push back into my belly and lean over to a certain point. Now will it (the putter) touch my belly once in a while? Yeah, but it's not really anchored so I don't really know if that is affected by the rule.
"So far they (rulemakers) haven't screwed up the game of golf, and I don't think this will screw it up. But I feel bad for a lot of the younger players who have never done it (putt) any other way."
Australian Jason Day, who uses a conventional 'short' putter, preferred to hedge his bets.
"I'm right down on the middle on this," he told Reuters with a smile. "I don't want to make anyone angry.
"I'm just going to leave it to them (the rulemakers) to make a decision, which they have, but I know there's a lot of guys that are going to be angry about it. That's how it goes."
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, the 2010 US Open champion, applauded the move by the R&A and the USGA.
"It was the only decision that could be made, and no one is really all that surprised," he told reporters after taking part in Wednesday's pro-am competition.
"It's a very considered and intelligent sort of decision, I think, from the R&A and the USGA. It's the right call. This is an 'integrity of the putting stroke' issue.
"Anchoring has become a way of putting, teaching pros are putting long putters into the hands of kids, and I think that the putting stroke is kind of moving in a wrong direction sort of for the future, really."
The proposal by the R&A and USGA will be discussed by players and the golfing community before being implemented.

Back on the mat
Palisade's Hannigan, GJ's Trujillo win Jackpot titles in return to wrestling
On a night when School District 51 honored all of its past state wrestling champions, the two who still are in high school had something more to celebrate Wednesday.
Palisade's Dalton Hannigan and Grand Junction's Jacob Trujillo took to the mat for the first time this season and dominated their weight classes en route to championships at the Jackpot Tournament. It was the better-late-than-never first step, each hopes, on the way to becoming a two-time state champ.
Hannigan, last year's Class 4A state champion at 126 pounds, scored a technical fall in the second period of his first-round match at 132 pounds Wednesday. Then, Fruita Monument's Max McLean scored the first takedown of the final, and the score was 2-2 after one period. From there, Hannigan got more dominant as the match went on, leading 9-4 after two periods and eventually pinning McLean in 5 minutes, 58 seconds.
Hannigan's first two matches signaled to him he has a lot of work to do to get into peak shape by the postseason. In an ordinary year, he said, he would be in that condition now, but an ankle injury in football kept him out, much to his dismay.
A fiery competitor, Hannigan didn't like waiting, much less wearing a walking boot for four weeks, but his supporters helped him bide his time until he was 100 percent.
"Everybody said, 'Don't come back too soon and re-injure yourself,' " Hannigan said, listing his coaches, his mom and his girlfriend among the people preaching caution. "If not for them, I don't know if I'd be back to where I am now."
He swam to help stay in shape, but he said it's time on the mat that ultimately makes the difference in conditioning, and his first full-go practice was the previous Wednesday.
Trujillo can relate to Hannigan's desire to get back on the mat as soon as possible, but last year's undefeated 5A state champ at 145 pounds also was told not to return to action until he was 100 percent.
He said he's there now, and it showed Wednesday with two pins inside of a minute at 160 pounds.
"It was driving me crazy," Trujillo said of the first half of the season. "I couldn't stand in the gym and watch the team without me, working hard, and I couldn't be out there with them. It was killing me.
"It feels good to be back out there, helping the team out."
Because his injury was to his shoulder, Trujillo was able to run to keep up his cardiovascular conditioning, but now he needs mat time, even if most of his matches end early with pins. Like Hannigan, Trujillo's first full practice came one week ago, and he was anxious for real matches.
"This is a good place to start the season and see where I'm at," he said. "I was just hungry to get in there. ... It will take a little bit of mat time (to get in peak condition), but I feel good now. ... I didn't get too out of shape."
Fruita Monument won the team title Wednesday with 202.5 points, and Grand Junction was second with 141 points.
The Wildcats also led the way with six Jackpot champions — Daniel Van Hoose (120), Ian Konrad (126), Jared Seely (138), Kaden Fife (152), Ty Taylor (182) and Jacob Seely (195) — and five runners-up.
It was one more step in the right direction, according to Fruita coach Dan Van Hoose, who said everything the Wildcats do is about being their best come the postseason.
"I was pleased with the kids," he said. "They gave it everything they had and tried their hardest, and that's all you can ask for."
Grand Junction had four champions, as Louis Guillen (145), Tyler Zook (220) and Robbie Gonzalez (285) joined Trujillo with titles.
Palisade claimed three titles, as Randen Espinoza (106) and Braxton Stewart (170) joined Hannigan. Stewart had the most closely contested final, edging Central's Isaac Bair 4-3.
Central had one champion: Riley Garner-Orr won a 4-1 battle over Grand Junction's Cody Lacy at 113.
One of the best matchups of the night came at 145, where Guillen fended off Fruita's Isaac Rodriguez, the 5A state runner-up at 145 last year. Rodriguez missed the first half of the season with a football injury and made his return to the mat last weekend.
Guillen got an escape in the third period for a 3-1 lead, but Rodriguez was awarded a stalling point to make it 3-2 with 34.8 seconds left. Guillen then scored a takedown with 17 seconds left for a 5-2 win.
Van Hoose gave Guillen his due when he and Grand Junction coach Cole Allison talked after the tournament. They could meet several more times, the way Rodriguez and Trujillo did a year ago.
At this point, Van Hoose said, Rodriguez is still getting into shape.
"Isaac needs mat time," he said. "I'm not a bit worried about it. He just needs to get in shape, get the mat time."

Federation of Student Anglers Organizing Clubs Across Texas
ATHENS—The Federation of Student Anglers (FSA) wants to hear from students in Texas middle and high schools who want to form or be on a school fishing team and from school administrators who are interested in starting a club team at their school.
FSA is expanding its two flagship programs, the Texas Middle School Fishing Challenge and the Texas High School Fishing Series, with chapters and club teams forming in and around North Texas, Houston, Austin and Tyler.
Student members fish every month of the year in on-the-water tournaments, online tournaments, in club and chapter outings and in the Summer Fishing Series that fishes one weeknight each week for the entire summer break. Club teams compete against other schools in their chapter for trophies, plaques, fishing and paddling equipment, boats, letter jackets (yes, you can now letter in fishing!), and most importantly, scholarships.
Clubs also build boats, rods and baits, learn to fly fish and tie their own flies. At the high school level, students compete for points qualifying them to advance to the state championship tournament tentatively scheduled to be held in June 2012 at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.
Based in Texas but international in scope, the FSA's programs give students the opportunity to get on the water and fish as well as learn about aquatic biology, fisheries management, ecology and the environmental sciences. FSA helps organize school-based chapters and works with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department angler education instructors to teach water safety and fishing skills while offering each student a chance to fish in a safe, supervised environment.
Fishing is done from shore or from human-powered craft, so students are not required to have access to a boat to participate.
FSA executive director Brad Newman of Bulverde, Texas, touts the non-profit organization as the only school-based, team-oriented fishing program in the United States in which students can captain their own watercraft. "Our goal is to educate our members on becoming better anglers, while at the same time introducing them to competitive fishing," he said. "As a bonus, we award more than $100,000 in college scholarships annually, and that number continues to grow. We believe that anyone can fish and be good at it if given a place to start and an opportunity to keep doing it."
For more information on the Federation of Student Anglers and how to start a club team or chapter, visit http://www.fishingstudents.com.
