The spring crop of vegetables and melons out of California's Coachella and Imperial valleys may be a brief one, but growers expect to ship a wide range of good-quality products before temperatures approach the triple-digit range.
Peter Rabbit Farms, Coachella, Calif., plans to kick off its eggplant program in early May, said John Burton, general manager for sales and cooler.
"Right now, all the signs are pointing to an average to above average season on eggplant," he said April 15.
Temperatures shot into the 90 degree range the week of April 22, and that's good for eggplant.
"It really loves the heat," Burton said, especially temperatures in the 95- to 100 degree range.
"We should start seeing some eggplant really start to produce out there," Burton said.
He didn't want temperatures to climb too high, though.
"You don't want it to get into the 110-112 (degree) area."
The company offers eggplant from May until late June.
Beans, peppers, corn, tomatoes
Keber Distributing Inc., Thermal, Calif., started its bean program April 18 and planned to start bell peppers and a small amount of corn in late April.
"We'll go until about the first week of June," said partner Dick Keber, adding that quality should be good as a result of good growing weather.
Jeff Dolan, DiMare/California field operations manager, said DiMare Indio's mature-green tomatoes should come off in early May and continue until the first or second week of June.
Dolan said he was pleased with growing conditions this season.
"It's been a pretty good spring down there," he said.
It's not easy to grow tomatoes in the desert, he added, but the company "figured out how to do it" and can get a head start on the San Joaquin Valley deal.
Coachella-based Prime Time International plans to be up and running with its bell peppers; yellow, white and bicolor corn; seedless and seeded watermelons; cucumbers; green beans; hard squash and eggplant by mid-May, said Mike Aiton, director of marketing.
"May and June are our busiest months of the year at Prime Time," Aiton said.
The company's green beans and bell peppers started six days earlier than last year, and Aiton thinks other commodities will follow suit with volume similar to 2012.
"We're expecting a very good quality year," he said, barring high temperatures or excessive wind.
Rio red grapefruit, dates
Sherman Oaks, Calif.-based Sunkist Growers Inc. will be shipping rio red grapefruit from the desert growing areas through May, said Joan Wickham, manager of advertising and public relations.
Fruit quality, taste and color are excellent, she said.
"Rio red grapefruit are large fruit with a beautiful red pigment on the rind," she said. "They are valued for their juice and fresh red flesh, known for its unique balance of sweetness and tang."
The date harvest isn't until fall, but some Coachella Valley companies pack dates year-round.
"We're very big in dates," said Bob Bianco, co-owner of Bakersfield, Calif.-based Anthony Vineyards, which owns half of Sun Date in Coachella.
He said the company is one of the biggest players in the valley's date deal.
Although sales peak during the holiday season, demand remains strong for the fruit year-round, and the company's date program continues to expand, he said.
"Half the population has never tasted a date, so there's a lot of room for growth," Bianco said.
Dates are high in potassium and a very healthful fruit, he added. They can be frozen and used in many ways.
They're also gaining recognition as they work their way into school lunch programs.
Richard Bagdasarian Inc. in Mecca, Calif., also has a date program, said president Nick Bozick. Peter Rabbit Farms, which has offered medjool dates for years, started its own packing line last fall and plans to grow the program every year, Burton said.

A Safety and Immunogenicity Study of 3 Doses of Opal Immunotherapy in HIV Infected People
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This phase I study is the first step to determine if Opal immunotherapy may have potential utility as a treatment for HIV. Although effective treatments for HIV infection exist, they are limited by the requirement for life-long daily treatment, cost, side effects, and the development of resistance.
There is a need for therapeutic approaches that induce or enhance T-cell immunity to control HIV disease. Overlapping Peptide-pulsed Autologous Cells (Opal) is a technique where autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or whole blood is pulsed with sets of overlapping peptides spanning whole proteins of HIV.

|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase 1, Dose Escalating, Single Centre, Double Blind Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Opal-HIV-Gag Clade C in HIV Positive Subjects
- Safety [ Time Frame: Several points throughout the 12 week active phase and 12 week and follow up period ]Examined through treatment-emergent adverse events, vital signs and routine laboratory screening.
- Immunogenicity [ Time Frame: Several points throughout the 12 week active phase and 12 week and follow up period ]Immunogenicity will be assessed by ELISpot and other markers of immune response
- Impact on HIV infection [ Time Frame: Several points throughout the 12 week active phase and 12 week and follow up period ]Assessed by HIV-1 viral load and CD4 T-cell counts.
|Study Start Date:
|May 2010
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2011
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Opal-HIV-Gag(c)
Opal-HIV-Gag(c) administered ex vivo to separated white blood cells on 4 occasions at 4 weekly intervals.
|Biological: Opal-HIV-Gag(c) Low Dose Biological: Opal-HIV-Gag(c) Medium dose Biological: Opal-HIV-Gag(c) High dose
Placebo Comparator: Diluent
Administered ex vivo to separated white blood cells on 4 occasions at 4 weekly intervals.
|Other: Dimethyl Sulfoxide
Detailed Description:
Opal-HIV-Gag(c) is not for direct injection and is administered by ex vivo incubation of whole blood or separated blood components (such as white blood cells or peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and reinfusion.
As a practical alternative to PBMC separation and to optimise vaccine presentation during the ex vivo incubation, a blood cell separation device will be used to separate the whole blood and enrich the white blood cell component. The device processes whole blood in a closed, single use disposable kit. Reconstituted Opal-HIV-Gag(c)or matching placebo will be added to the white blood cells, incubated for one hour and reinfused into the subject. Subjects will receive 4 administrations at 4 weekly intervals. Subjects are followed for 12 weeks after the final administration.
Each dose group will be enrolled sequentially, with a sentinel group for each dose group. Satisfactory safety data from each cohort, reviewed by a Data Safety Monitoring Board, will permit dose escalation.

I don't see a scenario in which Gregg Williams is allowed to coach this year. I think it's more likely that he never coaches in the NFL than he coaches this year.
And "Mr. Jet" Goodell will probably take away the Saints first round draft pick, especially since it now belongs to the Patriots!
I have always thought that the d-bag Jeff Fisher had a bounty on Rodney Harrison the year they took him out with a season-ending knee injury on a chop block and Fisher just grinned and high-fived the layer who did it. Williams apparently learned it from Fisher and carried it with him to other jobs. That bounty play was precisely why Belichick didn't let up in the 59-0 beatdown of the Titans two years ago.

Sources: Jermaine O'Neal has heated confrontation with Suns GM
by Adrian Wojnarowski
I know I'm reading into things, but I'd take a look at JO for cheap. I know, I know I'm beating a dead horse.Phoenix Suns center Jermaine O'Neal and general manager Lance Blanks engaged in a blistering, expletive-laced confrontation in the coach's office on Monday, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
"It was really bad," one Suns source said Tuesday afternoon.
The confrontation happened after interim coach Lindsey Hunter's first practice and unfolded within earshot of several Suns players in the locker room, sources said.
O'Neal is frustrated with the direction of the Suns' rebuild and wanted more clarity on his future this season, a source with knowledge of the confrontation said. At 13-28, the Suns have the worst record in the Western Conference.
O'Neal signed a one-year deal in the offseason with Phoenix.
The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that O'Neal missed practice with an "unstated medical issue" and wouldn't make the team's trip to Sacramento.
Blanks didn't immediately respond to a text message.
The Suns fired coach Alvin Gentry and replaced him with Hunter, who worked in player development and has no coaching background.
O'Neal has averaged 6.4 points and four rebounds a game for the Suns in his 16th season in the NBA.

Tune in at 11 a.m. CT to hear Zandonai's opera Francesca da Rimini live on Classical MPR, and enjoy a slideshow from the production.
In a memorable episode of Dante's Inferno, the narrator's tour through the afterlife includes an encounter with those who have died unabsolved from sins of lust. Among them are Tristan, Dido, Semiramis—and Francesca da Rimini, who recounts the tragic story of her doomed passion: In 13th-century Italy, the proud Francesca is married off to the cruel and deformed Gianciotto Malatesta but falls desperately in love with his younger brother, Paolo, called "il bello," or "the handsome." He loves her with equal intensity, but they control their emotions until one day, while reading of Lancelot and Guinevere's illicit love in the story of King Arthur, they're unable to resist any longer. The lovers are subsequently murdered by Gianciotto.
Francesca da Rimini's tale—inspired by historical people and events—proved irresistible and enduring, and six centuries after Dante immortalized it, the story was adapted into a drama by the Italian poet Gabriele d'Annunzio. A few years after that, it served as the basis for Zandonai's opera Francesca da Rimini, which returned to the Met stage for the first time in 25 years on March 4, starring Eva-Maria Westbroek and Marcello Giordani, with Marco Armiliato on the podium. For audiences who remember the last run of performances, it's a welcome return of one of the Met's most ravishingly beautiful productions.
First performed in 1914 in Turin, Francesca da Rimini is one of the most remarkable works in the Italian repertoire, blending elements of verismo, impressionism, and Grand Opera with gorgeous melody. The opera represents to the fullest the unique voice of a rising young composer whose imagination was kindled by the historical, intellectual, and sensual dimensions of this powerful story. Westbroek is only the third major diva to tackle the role of Francesca in the history of the Met. The opera had its company premiere in 1916, with New Zealand-born soprano Frances Alda as the tragic heroine, but then disappeared from the repertoire for almost seven decades. When the current, splendid production by Piero Faggioni premiered in 1984—with Renata Scotto and Placido Domingo heading the cast—it scored a major triumph, leading to a reconsideration of the work itself. The opera returned for a handful of performances two years later but has not been seen here since.
Now, with Zandonai's masterwork back on the Met stage, this extraordinary work can be cherished for what it is: a union of raw emotion in the verismo style, the scope and historic spectacle of French Grand Opera, and the daring musicality of the early 20th century.

Fire investigators are working to see what, and perhaps who, set a fire at an apartment house where a woman and her three young sons were inside.
Emergency workers from the Waterford Regional Fire Department and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office were called to the 50 block of South Marshall street -- near Pike and Martin Luther King on the city's southeast side -- at 7:30 p.m. Monday with a report of a fire in progress.
The woman and her three children -- who are 4-, 5- and 9-year-old boys -- were able to escape the building without injury. The apartment house, though, suffered extensive damage.
The woman told deputies that she had heard footsteps near her front window and then breaking glass. Then she realized the house was on fire, deputies reported.
They are investigating the scene as well as the woman's report that she had been threatened by a 19-year-old man who had once been her tenant.

Rios, Cotts happy to still be with Rangers
CLEVELAND -- Rangers outfielder Alex Rios admitted Thursday was a hectic day.
"I was packing stuff just to be ready," Rios said.
Reliever Neal Cotts said the day was tougher on his wife, Jaime.
"She gets all stressed out about stuff," Cotts said.
Turns out there was nothing hectic to get stressed out about. The Rangers had discussions with other clubs about both players, but nothing happened before Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline.
"I'm not off the hook yet," Rios said. "There is another month to go. Right now I'm focused on what I have to do here. I'm just going to go with the flow. I'm here, and that's the only thing I'm focused on."
Players can be traded in August if they clear waivers. Or they could be traded to the team that makes the waiver claim.
Rios also could still be with the Rangers next season if they pick up his $13.5 million option. The veteran said he is not worried about playing well enough to convince the Rangers to pick up the option.
"I don't think I have to prove anything," Rios said. "I have played this game quite a bit and had an OK career. It's their decision whether they bring me back or not. I'm not here to judge what they do. If they have plans for me, good. If not, that's their opinion. I'm here to play the game."
Cotts is a free agent after the season, but the Rangers have had initial discussions about bringing him back next season. Cotts would be open to that.
"I would like to come back," Cotts said. "I enjoy the team and the organization. I honestly believe we are going to be a much better ballclub next year. It's a tough division, but I believe we can be competitive."

The network that airs New York Mets games got a harsh lesson in "It ain't over 'til it's over" Wednesday night.
A Mets blog linked to SportsNet New York put up its happy recap of a New York victory over the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers.
Well this is not going to end well. RT @metsblog Final Score: Mets 4, Dodgers 2 http://t.co/IZ82yDfiuY— Steve Lepore (@stevelepore) August 15, 2013
One problem: The bottom of the ninth hadn't started. (H/T Steve Lepore of SB Nation and Sirius/XM Radio)
Cue LaTroy Hawkins, the five-hole grounder and Andre Ethier off the bench to ruin it all.
Hawkins, the Mets' closer while Bobby Parnell is on the DL, served up a tying pinch-hit home run to Ethier, one batter after stopping a one-hopper by Jerry Hairston Jr. with his athletic supporter.
(H/T cjzero.com)
The post was taken down, and the Mets lost in 12 innings, 5-4.
Hawkins was feeling the pain of both the loss and the comebacker afterward.

WOW!! My kind of lot of mouthwatering food there!! Ooh..I am hungry!!:))ReplyDelete
Kalyn your photos are really improving. In fact they look lip smacking delicious.ReplyDelete
My vote is with the vegetarian burrito, just because I'm guessing that was the most cilantro-heavy dish. But honestly, they all look so good to me that I'm less concerned about your own food preferences and more concerned about keeping myself from running out and trying to locate one of each of those dishes...
I'm intrigued by the Jamaican Reuben -- what made it Jamaican?
The Inadvertent Gardener
Whatever had the most cilantro! Although that eggplant looks mighty interesting too ...ReplyDelete
I love Reubens my favorite....yummy.ReplyDelete
My husband always likes to order Reuben sandwich, mmm, Jamaican style definitely sounds interesting. But what really make me drool is those potato chips!ReplyDelete
Yes - enchiladas and burritos. Sigh.ReplyDelete
YUM is right! Eggplant and goat cheese, two of my favs! I think I need to go to St. Louis:)ReplyDelete
It all looks so good...but I'm curious...what's a Jamaican reuben sandwich?ReplyDelete
Hi Everyone,ReplyDelete
I guess I'm not completely transparent on the blog because I ordered the Cuban Enchilada which had "Cuban brisket, black beans, and pepper jack cheese.)
The Jamaican Reuben said "with smothered cabbage and pepperjack on black bread." I'm not sure why that makes it Jamaican??
Next time I think I'd get the eggplant!
What made the rueben Jamaican?
Yes, lovely mouthwatering food indeed!ReplyDelete
Anything surprising in it? But obviously interesting post!ReplyDelete
The only thing that seemed different in the Reuben was having cabbage instead of Sauerkraut. I know next to nothing about Jamaican food (jerk, ackee, that's about it) so does anyone know if they eat a lot of cabbage? Also maybe the pepperjack cheese is reminiscent of the scotch bonnet chiles, I really don't know.ReplyDelete
I had a friend who's a Jamaican and i ate Jerk Chicken and Ackee & Salt Fish with rice & peas a lot! Yes, they eat cabbage. Boiled mostly as a side dish. I'm not quite sure if they boiled it with garlic but it was quite nice.ReplyDelete
I'm not quite sure what dish you went for but i myself, if i was there, would certainly go the third dish purely because it looks so lovely laden with sauce... yummy!
Oh, i meant fourth! *wink* you know what i meant :)ReplyDelete
The Jamaican connection with the Reuben certainly seems tenuous. I've never seen one of those served on the Island!ReplyDelete
P.S. - Nice photos!
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.

|Official Title:
|An Open Label, Staggered Rising Dose Cohort Study Assessing Safety, Tolerance, and Activity of BI-RG-587 in Patients With HIV Infection (CD4+ Cell Count < 400 Cells/mm3)
|Estimated Enrollment:
A compound free of the toxic effects of nucleoside chain terminators such as zidovudine (AZT) may have an advantage over currently available treatments for HIV infection. Such a compound has further advantages if it is active against AZT-resistant isolates. Nevirapine (BI-RG-587) has shown in vitro inhibitory activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). The molecular mechanism of the RT inhibitory effect is hypothesized to be non-competitive inhibition due to its binding to an RT site distinct from those for the RNA template primer, the deoxynucleotide triphosphate or the RNase H catalytic site.
This is a staggered dose escalation cohort trial which examines the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics and activity of Nevirapine (BI-RG-587) in patients with HIV infection. Groups of 10 patients must have completed 4 weeks of therapy without requiring dose interruption before the next dosage level can be initiated. All 10 patients must be enrolled at a lower dosage level before the next dosage level can be initiated. Patients discontinue antiretroviral therapy, after signing informed consent, 28 days prior to receipt of a first dose of Nevirapine. Screening lab tests, including p24 antigen and plasma viremia, and CD4+ cell count determination are performed 21 days prior to drug dosing in Part I. Patients are notified of screening laboratory measures that exclude them from study participation. Upon such notification patients have the option to resume prior antiretroviral therapy or to repeat those values in one week. Part II consists of two 8-hour intensive blood sampling periods plus frequent trough value blood samplings. Safety, trough value blood sampling, and activity assessments are performed in Part III. An assessment of dose-tolerance and of activity is made in Study Week 12 in order that patients may continue Nevirapine chronic therapy for an additional 12 weeks. The Final Visit in Part IV takes place on Study Week 24 to complete the trial. Patients who complete 24 weeks are offered the option to continue on Nevirapine chronic therapy at the initial or an altered dose on a separate open-label protocol.

An app offering a service that is already backed by a great agency with a web service is important. Actually, the quality of the information displayed, even the way that info is displayed meets high standards. That's AccuWeather case and, as it couldn't be otherwise, its app is a reflection of it.
AccuWeather for iPhone display in an organized manner, real temperature, RealFeel temperature, intra-day and weekly forecast and lot of extend info: humidity, visibility, sunrise and set time, pressure, dewpoint, UV level and wind intensity. That's the "home" of the app. From the "tab" bar at the bottom the user can switch between categories. Thus, from there users can access weekly forecast, maps (for cloud cover) and weather forecast videos from Accuweather website (divided by regions).
Finally, and this is, from my point of view, one of the most original features of this app, from the "more" tab users can access RSS news, locations and lifestyle which is a compilation of recommended activities for such weather. For example, perhaps today is a great day for dog walking in your location, but an awful one for sinus risk due to humidity.
Must have.

deliciously gluten free

Some oatmeal products bother me as I am gluten intolerant. Although, oats contain a protein called avena, many instant oatmeals and oat products are cross contaminated in facilities that also process things with gluten. Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats are quick to cook, tastey, and don't upset my stomach at all! Thanks, Iherb. My family and I will be happy when it is back in stock! san diego, ca
Mmm, Breakfast Freedom
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 07, 2009 | Verified Purchase
As a celiac, oatmeal had long been banned from my morning menu options. But now, I am once again able to enjoy this breakfast staple food! They're real oats, so they taste just like the regular gluten-contaminated variety, but are safe (for most, check with your doctor). Also, it's cheaper to by a big bag of the plain stuff like this then the little flavored packets. Healthier too. Add a little cinnamon and brown sugar and you're good to go. Thanks, Bob!

I'm on a strict gluten free diet. I can't eat any gluten or else I would break out with acne. These gluten free oats are amazing. They have the same taste as "regular" oats and they DON'T make me break out at all. Just simply amazing.
I Can Finally Eat Oatmeal Again
Posted by iHerb Customer on Dec 29, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I am so glad gluten free oatmeal is on the market now. There were many years that I craved it but not the consequences of having eaten oatmeal that must have contained gluten. I love that I can put a quarter cup of this oatmeal in a BIG bowl and microwave for 3-5 minutes and its ready. I add almond flour, peanut flour, unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon for a WOW breakfast. I also use this oatmeal and other gluten free flour for banana bread, which I dearly love.

Eckstein has managerial aspirations
VIERA, Fla. -- Rick Eckstein has been the hitting coach of the Nationals since 2009 and he indicated that he would like to manage in the big leagues someday. It would not come as a surprise if he became a candidate to replace Davey Johnson as the manager of the team after the 2013 season.
Eckstein has never managed in the big leagues, but was a third-base and bench coach for the IBAF Baseball World Cup in 2005, and was Johnson's bench coach at the World Baseball Classic.
Asked if he would like to manage in the big leagues, Eckstein said, "The aspirations to manage are always there. But whatever contract you sign, whatever title you have to your name, that's where your total focus has to be. But I would have to say yes, I do see myself in that [managerial] role. Right now, I'm the hitting coach and I need to put all my focus there and continue to do the good things that I'm capable of doing in that role."

July 13, 1927 – March 25, 2013
53 year Resident of Los Altos
Glenn, 85, passed away in his home in Los Altos. He was born in Los Gatos to parents Hazel and Harley Warren.
Glenn attended Ravenswood Grammar School in Palo Alto and Sequoia High School in Redwood City. He completed high school in 3 years so he could enlist in the U.S. Navy, serving in WWII in the Philippine islands.
After his discharge Glenn was employed as foreman at McCallahan Tree Surgery in Palo Alto. Shortly after, he opened his own business in San Jose called S&W Equipment, selling, renting and servicing power garden equipment. The business was so successful that he relocated to a new larger store on Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose. In 1970 he sold S&W Equipment and began investing in real estate, specializing in residential homes in Mtn View, Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.
In 1990 Glenn retired and began to fully enjoy his favorite outdoor sports of fishing in rivers, the ocean and camping. Another hobby was golfing with his brothers-in-law Jack Tonnesen and David Wittman. He was an expert at salmon fishing in the Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay areas. He owned and sold 5 boats during this time – the last one called "Glenn's Fish Finder." His first boat was named after his wife "Sunny". He knew how to get along!
Glenn was also passionate about his now deceased dogs Maggy, Honeybunch, Penny, and Miss Dazey, and several cats during his lifetime. He had a soft spot for abandoned animals. Glenn's garden and 14 fruit trees were his pride and joy and he enjoyed sharing the produce with everyone, including passersby.
He married his high school sweetheart "Sunny" in 1959. Their friendship started in the first year of grammar school. Glen always had a twinkle in his eye, loved his family, and his passing will leave an empty space that no one could fill.
He leaves behind his wife of 53 years, "Sunny" Eleanor Warren, niece Angela and husband Paul Bernaciak, grand nephew "JT" Jonathan Tomaka, sisters-in-law Linda Tonnesen and Christine Tonnesen, nephews Mark Tonnesen and wife Susan, and Scott Tonnesen.
The family wishes to thank Rev. Warwick James, pastor of St. Simon Church, Dr. Caroline Stratz, Dr. Sari Levine, Dr. Chandan Saw, and our great neighbors and friends for their support, prayers and good deeds.
In his last days he was surrounded by his devoted family. No services will be held at Glenn's request. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his honor to a charity of your choice.


text: Actress Amber Tamblyn talks poetry and 'Poetry Out Loud' By Bill Lynch February 29, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo Amber Tamblyn appears Saturday at Poetry Out Loud in the Culture Center Theater. Best known as the star of the TV show "Joan of Arcadia," the 28-year-old actress is a passionate advocate for poetry and art. WANT TO GO?Poetry Out Loud: National Recitation ContestWHERE: Culture Center TheaterWHEN: 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. SaturdayTICKETS: FreeINFO: 304-558-0240 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Poetry is alive and well in West Virginia. This weekend, the West Virginia Division of Culture and History and the West Virginia Commission on the Arts will host the state's semifinal and final rounds of the Poetry Out Loud: National Recitation Contest at the Culture Center Theater.Twenty-three high school students from around the state will compete in the semifinal round on Friday with the top 10 returning Saturday for the finals, hosted by noted actor and Beckley native Chris Sarandon.Joining Sarandon this year as a special guest and featured performer is Emmy-nominated actress and poet Amber Tamblyn. The 28-year-old Californian last appeared in Danny Boyles "127 Hours" with James Franco but is probably best known for playing Joan on CBS's "Joan of Arcadia.""Poetry is something I've loved my whole life," Tamblyn said, "but it's not strange that people don't know that about me."More than a few actors, she acknowledged, have artistic side projects that sometimes come to the light after they become celebrities. They play the banjo, go to college between movies or play in obscure rock bands to earn what Tamblyn called "extracurricular street cred." For Tamblyn, her love of poetry didn't start after she got a TV show. She grew up with poetry."My parents raised me around a lot of poets, writers and musicians," she said. "People of that world. I just grew up around that culture."Tamblyn is the daughter of Bonnie Murray Tamblyn, a folk singer, and Russ Tamblyn, an actor best known for his Oscar-nominated performance as Rif in the film version of "West Side Story."She started writing poetry when she was 9 years old and began publishing while in her teens. She did not make a huge splash on the literary scene, but that was never the point. "My mom used to take me to Kinkos," she said. "I would publish chapbooks and sell them at school for a dollar." Better than whatever money she made was holding those books in her hands, Tamblyn said. She loved to see the hard copy of what she'd done.She eventually did publish two books of poetry. A third, a poetry and painting collaboration with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, is in the works."That might take a year or so," she laughed. "He's off on tour being his fabulous self, wrapped in saran wrap."The two were introduced a few years ago by a mutual friend."He's a phenomenal artist and painter," she said, "and he's just very poetic." Tamblyn said she doesn't know much about Manson's music. They're friends and artistic co-conspirators. Tamblyn has always surrounded herself with artistic and inspiring people. She's had a lot of mentors, including San Francisco poet laureate Jack Hirschman and poet/professor Jeffrey McDaniel, who helped her with her second book, "Bang, Ditto."She also reads a lot of poetry. Tamblyn can rattle off a half-dozen favorites without even trying. Mindy Nettifee, Anne Sexton, Bob Hickock and Leonard Cohen are just a few."Cohen's 'Flowers for Hitler' is such a fantastic book," she said, adding that she's not really into his music."Who I like is all over the place, but what I like is poetry that resonates with the author, that means something to the creator. The most important poem is the one that's emotionally connected."She can't stand poems written as an academic exercise, the kind meant to impress. She said, "I think a lot of people spend a lot of time trying to 'create' a great poem as opposed to intuit a great poem."Writing poetry, she believes, doesn't have to be so hard. It doesn't have to be about obeying rules and forms.The answer, to her, is metaphor and finding a way to say something without just saying it outright and, in doing that, saying something that means more than a simple statement of fact. "Everybody has got their own technique," she said. "The question is how do you tap into that inner voice that feels like stream of conscious, that feels like it's connected to something deeper than just writing in a journal?"Tamblyn said she's looking forward to coming to West Virginia and is proud to be part of Poetry Out Loud."I like to be where there's a large group who supports poetry and good poetry shows," she said. "That's where the growth is."Reach Bill Lynch at email@example.com or 304-348-5195.

I can't talk about politics because it's to serious? Okay, that's fine, thats why I included a feed to Rocky IV. But apparently that's still to serious. Whatever.
I've been here for five years and just had the owner of the site **** on me by deleting my thread and insulting me. If thats what I get for trying to have an actual conversation about US and Russian relations, then **** it. I'm outta here. I'm sure this thread will be deleted too.

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code S62.92
Unspecified fracture of left wrist and hand
Diagnosis Code S62.92
Short Description: Unspecified fracture of left wrist and hand
Long Description: Unspecified fracture of left wrist and hand
This is the 2017 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code S62.92
Not Valid for Submission
The code S62.92 is a "header" and not valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T98)
Injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers (S60-S69)
- Fracture at wrist and hand level (S62)
- Injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers (S60-S69)
Information for Patients
Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Hand Injuries and Disorders
No matter how old you are or what you do for a living, you are always using your hands. When there is something wrong with them, you may not be able to do your regular activities.
Hand problems include
- Carpal tunnel syndrome - compression of a nerve as it goes through the wrist, often making your fingers feel numb
- Injuries that result in fractures, ruptured ligaments and dislocations
- Osteoarthritis - wear-and-tear arthritis, which can also cause deformity
- Tendinitis - irritation of the tendons
- Disorders and injuries of your fingers and thumb

Wrist Injuries and Disorders
Your wrist is made up of eight small bones known as carpals. They support a tube that runs through your wrist. That tube, called the carpal tunnel, has tendons and a nerve inside. It is covered by a ligament, which holds it in place.
Wrist pain is common. Repetitive motion can damage your wrist. Everyday activities like typing, racquet sports or sewing can cause pain, or even carpal tunnel syndrome. Wrist pain with bruising and swelling can be a sign of injury. The signs of a possible fracture include misshapen joints and inability to move your wrist. Some wrist fractures are a result of osteoporosis.
Other common causes of pain are
- Sprains and strains
- Tendinitis
- Arthritis
- Gout and pseudogout
- Colles wrist fracture - aftercare (Medical Encyclopedia)

After the huge success of the episodic return of puzzle-game legends Sam and Max, and with a retail version of the entire series due soon, a new season of downloadable content has been confirmed.
Due at the end of this year from the broadband entertainment network GameTap, fans can expect more of the same mix of comedy and puzzling seen in Steve Purcell's original game. The only clues to content so far come in the form of the one released screen, set in Stinky's, the diner down the street from Sam and Max's offices that remained tantalisingly closed for the entire first series.
"Season One was a great success, but it's just a starting point for us," says Telltale's CEO Dan Connors. "The episodic model presents so many opportunities to innovate and engage the audience in brand new ways. Just wait until you see what Telltale and GameTap have in store with Season Two."

As a superfanboy of Georgie Boy, I've been trying to figure out what it's going to take for him to turn into the player we could use before the playoffs, or at least before next season.
Before he started, I said that putting Paul in the starting lineup would invigorate and motivate him to perform at RoY-esque levels. However, in my modesty, I failed to realize he would no longer be a viable option in the offense, as all four other players would be trying to score before him. Even when he was gooning it up, he wasn't the most active, powerful player with the ball.
My scenario:
Depending on MDJ's production in upcoming practice(s), put him back in the starting lineup at SG, where he can do whatever he does, and allow Paul to play behind Danny, even so far as to be the 6th man/option. The point is to establish this, run plays for him, and let him work. MDJ's biggest asset (to me) is that he teaches the young kids how to move off-ball, defend better, and other things that Dun's good at, while allowing them to grow.
With a Goon Squad of AJ and Dahntay/Rush in the backcourt, and George at the 3, we would have a more smashmouth-style group of guys, with Josh moving the ball more than usual (power guard), and Foster rebounding and boxing out and such.
Though the pressure of becoming the lead bench option could be a hassle, it might be better than having Paul stand in the corner and get 2-3 touches per quarter, not counting an additional 2 incidentals (rebounds, saves, etc.). Looking at Paul George as our possible future star, we need to be ready to put him into action. We should have been letting him make mistakes earlier in the season, before the playoff push, rather than putting him in the starting lineup and letting him stand still.
I also would like to see him start working 1-on-1 with Lance to improve his dribbling and overall handling. It's one of the few "skills" I see him lacking, and the one that seems to cause more problems/turnovers than any of his other offensive/defensive mistakes.
Of course, I understand that we really shouldn't switch much up right now, being in our playoff push. We can't afford to make too many mistakes and have them attributed to "botched lineups". However, if Rush's offensive off-ball production (those catch-and-shoot jumpers he's been shooting/making lately) gets to a tolerant point, he may be more valuable with the starters.
Okay, what say you?

Aaron Carter Departs THE FANTASTICKS, 2/17
Triple platinum recording artist Aaron Carter has announced that he will be going on a concert tour and taking an extended leave of absence from his role as Matt in The Fantasticks.
His last performance will be Feb. 17, 2013.
Carter's tour is scheduled to begin at the end of February and is currently open-ended. Carter plans to return to The Fantasticks when his tour is finished.
When asked about leaving The Fantasticks, Carter said, "I'm looking forward to going on tour and working on my music, but The Fantasticks is my home - I will be back. Now you all have five weeks to come see me as Matt before I go!" Carter has extended his run in The Fantasticks four times since joining the cast on Nov. 7, 2011. Carter burst onto the pop music scene in the late nineties and quickly achieved worldwide superstardom and the adoration of millions of loyal fans, selling more than 30 million records.
In The Fantasticks, he plays the role of Matt, a rebellious young romantic who becomes restless, goes out into the world and discovers that with love comes responsibility, with independence comes danger, and with maturity comes happiness.

Hosting a Detroit Tigers Home Opener tailgate party steps away from Comerica Park Friday, Bennett Lublin of Walled Lake considered the upcoming baseball season.
"It's April so anything can happen," he said.
"We want a World Series win. We have the pitching. (Tigers owner Mike) Ilitch has done his part. I'm looking forward to the results."
The throngs who turned out for the annual Opening Day party in Detroit Friday echoed those same thoughts.
Michael (Mick), 6, Zielinski of Hartland walked toward the ballpark loaded down with navy and orange beads and a backpack filled with Tigers gear.
Strolling with little Mick was his dad Michael and grandparents, Mike� and Sandy Zielinski of White Lake.
"We're baseball people," said Sandy. "Mick goes to every game. This is his 4th Opening Day. He knows players and their numbers and we're teaching how to use the scorecard."
A confident Shirley Forton of Clinton Township -- surrounded by her daughters, Susan Wise of Harrison Township and Jennifer Morrison and Rhonda Pardo, both of Clinton Township -- made a prediction for the Tigers season.
"We're going to be on top, to the World Series," she said.
�Pardo loves the party atmosphere of Opening Day, she said.
"Everybody's attitude is great -- and it's spring!" she said.
Ken Mosier of Lake Orion worked his way through hordes of people with pal Kurt Fish, also of Lake Orion. Mosier, wearing a University of Michigan jacket, has other sports on his mind this weekend.
"My son Kris goes to Michigan, so it's a great time to be a fan here," he said. Michigan plays Syracuse in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at 8:49 p.m. Saturday.
Fish said he and Mosier took vacation days to attend Opening Day.
"It's a great day for Detroit," said Fish, who works in the investment field.
Enjoying a beverage with friends before the game, Shirley Gallinat of Brighton said her boss told her she was jealous of Gallinat.
"She said she wanted to be here," said Gallinat, who works for a bakery.
"We're in the middle of a large move and I should be there helping."
Gallinat confessed to being a serious Tigers fan, attending many games each year.
"My daughter-in-law's birthday is near Mother's Day and she and I are planning to come to a game and celebrate together," she said.
Southfield resident Jeffrey Garland came to Opening Day early.
"I got here about 9 a.m. to beat the traffic and get something good to eat at the Tigers Den (at Comerica Park)," said Garland, who was meeting a friend from Kalamazoo.
"The Tigers will win today but it'll be close," he said.
Spotted at Opening Day
--Crowd-pleasers: Former Redford resident Danny Novack, now calling the Bronx home, stood in front of Comerica Park dressed as the Statue of Liberty holding a sign that said "I Love NY" while having a beer and smoking a cigarette. (The Tigers played the Yankees at the Friday Home Opener.) "This is my first year doing it in Detroit," said Novack. "I've been a Yankees fan since moving there eight years ago. A lot of people have taken my picture."
-- Don't step on the grates: Most women came to Friday's game in athletic shoes or boots, but one woman walked with her date toward the ballpark wearing 4-inch heels.
-- Air-worthy: Many fans around Comerica couldn't take their eyes off a small drone flying over the crowds.
-- Teacher Bill Polk of Livonia shouted with friends over a deafening tailgate music system. "I'm having a hard time hearing anything," he said.
--Tony and Pam Rinna of Southgate -- their faces painted to look like real tigers -- were stopped every few feet by people wanting to take their photograph. The facial artwork, done by a professional, only takes 15 minutes each, said Tony. "We do it for Opening Day and the World Series," he said.

When the San Rafael Pacifics take the field for the 2013 season, it will be with a new manager and in a new league — a league they just created.
Majority owner Eugene Lupario and team president Michael Shapiro, who represent the Redwood Sports and Entertainment group that runs the team, announced the creation of the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs this week. It replaces the North American League North Division.
"(Creating the Pacific Association) is the next step to ensure that we have a thriving league for the future," Shapiro said. "We are receiving a lot of interest. ... Interest from potential franchise ownership groups. ... We are being very specific about what kind of financial backing we require to join. We need solid partners."
The new league includes the Maui team and Hawaii Stars club that played the Pacifics last year. The league will also include the Grapes traveling team that helped fill out the NAL schedule last year. The Pacifics ownership, which also owns the Grapes, is searching for a permanent home for the team during the 2013 with possible landing spots in Vallejo and Ukiah.
Former major-leaguer Mike Marshall, who managed the Pacifics to the division championship last year, has been named the new league's commissioner. Shapiro said interviews for the Pacifics manager position are ongoing.
Along with revealing the new league, the two Northern California teams announced plans to play 24 interleague games against teams from Arizona's Freedom Pro League this season. The Pacifics and Grapes will travel to Arizona to play the league's four teams before hosting the squads in California. Shapiro said the two Hawaii teams plan to play 24 games against teams from the Baseball Challenge League of Japan.
Each of the teams in the Pacific Association plan to play 78 games in 2013, with as many as 45 home dates for the San Rafael team.
The Pacifics and Grapes hold an open tryout for players on Jan. 26 at College of Marin. Details are available at www.pacificsbaseball.com

Preparing payroll in any small business can be a daunting task. Whether you have one employee or 20, the federal and state requirements are often the same. However, by using the payroll feature in QuickBooks 2013, you can master efficient techniques for creating paychecks, paying liabilities for taxes, and generating dazzling reports quickly and easily.
You'll start by learning how to prepare for the payroll process by finding the information you need on the Internal Revenue Service website, from the details of complying with withholding requirements for taxes to the process for applying for an employer identification number.
Then you'll review all aspects of how to set up and maintain payroll information for your employees in Quickbooks. You'll learn how to track work and vacation time; produce job costing reports; generate W-2, W-3, and 1099 forms; create paychecks; and much more. And once you've mastered the basics, you'll gain troubleshooting tips and solutions to help you solve common problems and mistakes to simplify the whole payroll process. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to process payroll in QuickBooks and solve many of the problems that can pop up along the way.
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.

Board of Supervisors Meeting: Jan. 10, 2005
Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Jan. 7, 2005
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to
Recognize Citizens, Staff, Adopt Resolutions and Issue a Proclamation
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on Monday, Jan. 10, beginning at 9 a.m., will recognize the following citizens and staff for their accomplishments and issue a proclamation and adopt resolutions as listed below. For more information, call 703-324-3187, TTY 703-324-2935.
The Beginning of Civic Duty
Students and scouts assist with 2004 General Election
The Board of Supervisors will recognize the students from schools in Fairfax County who served as election officers and pages at the polling places for the Nov. 2, 2004, general election. In preparation for their service, students attended a disability awareness and election training class in order to assist the voters on election day. Girl Scout Troop 3128 and Boy Scout Troop 1530 will also be recognized for their service during the day.
Practice Makes Perfect
Public safety agencies know the drill
The Fairfax County Office of the Sheriff and the Police and Fire and Rescue Departments of Fairfax City and Fairfax County will be recognized for coordinating a weapons of mass destruction drill that enacted the evacuation of a jail during a biological event. The unique feature of this exercise was the identification of resources in the community for housing a large and dangerous inmate population outside the confines of the jail for a prolonged period of time, putting plans in place to transport inmates, secure food, find alternative shelter and provide medical support.
Providing a High Degree of Service
Reston resident sets the standard
Lillie DeGree, of Reston, will be recognized for more than 30 years of noteworthy, dedicated, loving service to the students of Forest Edge Elementary School. During her tenure, DeGree guided, nurtured and consoled thousands of students of two generations.
Moving Into the Double Digits
Faith Communities in Action celebrates 10th anniversary
Faith Communities in Action, a countywide partnership between county agencies, places of worship and faith-based organizations, will be recognized on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. The organization began in 1995 as the Braddock District Religious/Human Services Coalition to determine how Fairfax County's human services agencies would adjust to state and federal welfare reform policies while undergoing a major reorganization. The coalition, renamed Faith Communities in Action, has become a vanguard in finding ways to address major community challenges including Welfare to Work, affordable housing, end-of-life issues and tolerance for people of all races and religions.
Celebrating Ideals
Reston plans broad program for 20th annual event
The Board of Supervisors will adopt a resolution to thank the Reston Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Planning Committee for its work and commitment in planning the 20th annual communitywide Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. birthday observance to be held on Jan. 16 and 17. The event will feature a keynote address by the founder of Reston, Robert E. Simon, on the theme, "Twenty Years of Keeping the Promise/Uniting Cultures-A Global Perspective."
January is Mentoring Month in Fairfax County
Raising awareness of the need
The Board of Supervisors will designate January as Mentoring Month in Fairfax County. Research has shown that mentoring has a definitive impact on young people by increasing attendance at school, improving rates of high school graduation and college attendance, and decreasing involvement with drugs, alcohol and violent behaviors. Adults are urged to volunteer as mentors and promote awareness, involvement and support for the mentoring of youth.

LONG BEACH – After losing big at Hawaii and narrowly winning at Cal State Northridge last week, Long Beach State settled into Walter Pyramid Wednesday evening looking to increase its Big West Conference lead against rival Cal State Fullerton.
James Ennis scored 26 points, had 15 rebounds and four steals to lead a 49ers second-half surge as Long Beach State broke open a close game and defeated the Titans, 85-65, in front of 4,730 and a ESPNU national audience.
"Our defense got stops and today we had each other's back and our confidence was up," said Ennis.
Tony Freeland recorded a career-high 12 rebounds and scored 13 points for the 49ers.
"We were due to have a really good game overall," said Freeland. "Our coach really stressed that we get off to a good start."
The 49ers (15-9, 11-2) have won 10 of 11 and extended their home game conference winning-streak to 24 games. Long Beach State increased its conference lead to two games over Hawaii.
The Long Beach State victory was Coach Dan Monson's 100th victory (100-86) as the 49ers coach. Monson is the third winningest coach in 49ers history behind Jerry Tarkanian (122-20) and Seth Greenberg (105-70).
"There was a 10-minute stretch in the second half that was the Long Beach State's basketball team that I envisioned," said Monson. "James Ennis is just playing at a different level now. Ennis, Freeland and Jennings set the stage with their rebounding."
The 49ers defeated the Titans for the second time and the 85 points was Long Beach State's second-highest output of the season.
The 49ers broke a 46-46 tie by going on a 13-0 run. Peter Pappageorge's 3-pointer gave the 49ers a 59-46 lead with 13:51 to play. Moments later Ennis drilled a 3-pointer and Long Beach State increased its lead to 64-49 with 12:03 left.
A combination of poor Fullerton shooting and an aggressive 49ers defense limited the Titans (12-12, 5-7) to one basket over an 8:30 span of the second half.
In the meantime, Long Beach State continued its charge and upped its lead to 71-49 on an Ennis basket with 9:05 remaining.
Keala King scored 10 points, had 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Dan Jennings and Pappageorge each added 12 points for the 49ers.
Kwame Vaughn and Sammy Yeager who each scored 18 points led Fullerton. DJ Seeley added 10 points and Jared Brandon had 10 rebounds.
In the fast-paced first half the 49ers jumped to a 16-7 lead following a dunk by Ennis, capping a 49ers 13-4 run with 14:21 left.
Strong offensive rebounding in the opening half gave Long Beach State several second-chance baskets. The 49ers grabbed 11 offensive boards in the first half and outrebounded the Titans 24-21 and 49-30 in the game.

But all of this is taking our eyes off the ball... Bender's extension especially.And Rick Carlisle. Don't forget Rick Carlisle. (I did that for Peck. )I may be beating a dead horse here, but here is what it would have cost to keep Brad this year alone:
$7M in salary
guestimation of 7.5M in tax if the added salary only put us above the 61.1% of BRI tax threshold if triggered.
another guestimation but an additional 7.5M if the added salary put us above the 65% cliff threshold if triggered.
1.55M in the difference in salary of Pollard and Mercer.
Anthony Johnson, Kenny Anderson, or someone else not having a roster spot.
I loved Antonio Davis when he was here, but am glad as all can be that we are not the ones paying the end of that mess. I see years 6 and 7 being the same on Brad's deal.
Good to see you here, Charc. What took you so long?
The money spent on 3 extensions is where I'd be looking. Artest was understandable (assuming you thought he could get his head on straight)... Foster's and Bender's were questionable. Bender is a bust anyway. The quicker this franchise figures that out the better off it will be.
Essentially, it has worked that Bender has cost TWO All-Star centers. All this other stuff is smoke and mirrors and hiding the crux of the matter. We sure haven't gotten much back from that deal to validate those.
IF the team really wanted to keep BMiller then signing all 3 of those extensions with those numbers was a BAD move and worked out exactly how anyone paying attention would imagine that it would.
Money may yet be the ultimate factor but it probably has more to do with not wrapping too much of the cap up in a few players and BMiller was deemed the expendable player back when the extensions were signed. IOW, Brad was in a no win situation here.

AN ALERT resident contacted the fire brigade after smelling burning which turned out to be an underground electric cable.
Leigh fire crews attended the property in White House Road, Eastwood at 9pm on Sunday and realised it was coming from underneath the pavement at the end of the driveway.
This smell can be caused by the heat from a fault on the underground electricity network.
They rang electricity supplier UK Power Networks who arrived within 20 minutes.
Power was cut to 151 customers to allow the fault to be repaired overnight and power was restored by 3.55am..
A spokesman said: "Teams worked through the night to restore power to customers in the White House Road area following a fault on a piece of equipment on our high voltage underground electricity network.
"We realise how difficult it is to be without power, particularly at this time of year and apologise for any inconvenience."

Student Opportunities
Rather than internships, we have a variety of extra field experiences that students can do in the local school districts and social agencies.
Examples from recent years include:
Student Teaching
The culminating experience of each teacher education program is the professional semester completed during the student's final year in the program. This semester consists of three weeks of education coursework, one twelve-week full day student teaching placement (two six-week placements in visual arts, foreign languages, health, music, and physical education), and a final week of capstone activities.
A number of students each year can complete their student teaching experiences abroad. In recent years, students have lived in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, England, and South Africa while completing this important requirement for their degree in Education.
Students can work with faculty on collecting and analyzing data related to instructional strategies and educational programs.
Qualified Muskingum University Education students may join Kappa Delta Pi, the International Honor Society in Education. KDP is committed to recognizing excellence and fostering mutual cooperation, support, and professional growth for educational professionals.
Muskingum's is the fastest growing chapter in the nation!
The Education department employs two work-study students per year, mostly to work with the department secretary--making copies, compiling notebooks, etc.
Professional Activities
Our students are active in the student chapter of the Council for Exceptional Children and the Middle Level Collegiate Association. Students have recently served as panelists at the annual meeting of the Ohio Confederation of Teacher Education Organizations, sharing their experiences with the Raul Project, a set of biographies of students with a variety of learning needs.
Student Story
Ellen Conkey ('14), a special education major from Cleveland Heights, just graduated in May. As an incoming student, she chose Muskingum because of the PLUS program: "They are one of the best tutoring centers in this part of the country and they have really helped me throughout my years at Muskingum."
Ellen wass a "typical" Muskie in that she was very involved in a number of campus organizations that were of interest to her, including Circle K International (a service club); her sorority, FAD; and the M.I.N.D. Tutoring/Mentoring program.
In addition to her membership in each of those organizations, Ellen served in a leadership capacity within Circle K.
For Ellen, as for many students, the relationships formed on campus was one of her favorite parts of her experience at Muskingum. "I made some great friends at Muskingum. I know that there were a handful of people here that are going to be my lifelong friends. Muskingum [also] has some wonderful staff members. I did not have one professor that I did not like. They were very intelligent and I learned a lot from each and every one of them!"
