Brick Non-profit Helps Families Cope with the Loss of a Child
A new center opens in Ocean County aimed at helping parents and family members cope with the unbearable pain of losing a child.
The Center of Hope, Peace and Light in Brick Township is a unique nonprofit bereavement center established by four moms who recently lost their children.
Jennifer Amato, Joan Morrissey, Christine Volpe and Karen Zitzow Montenegro, the four founding partners of the Center met while attending a weekly support group known as "Mothers of Angels." They say they became acquatinted with the need for the center like this by meeting other families dealing with similar losses.
Montenegro says they get calls every day from moms who say they didn't know where to turn. "Because when you go through traditional therapy … It doesn't help you cope with you know, looking at a cereal box that's your child's favorite cereal in the grocery store and having a complete break down when another mother who's gone through that experience knows what that's like."
She says the center uses a wide range of traditional and alternative therapies aimed at bringing healing and comfort.
The Center opened its doors in late November offering a calendar of events. Volpe says "on Tuesdays we have our regular support group 'Mothers of Angels', once a month we included the fathers as well but we host events like meditation and Reiki healing circles and we have mediums that come in."
Amato says they're hoping to offer a safe place for people. "Reaching out to other families who've suffered the same loss has been life saving for all of us and being with each other and using the resources that we've come up with really brings you some comfort."
They're hosting a grand opening on March 21st.
The Center of Hope, Peace & Light is located at 254 Brick Boulevard – Suite 7 in Brick in the Delmar Office Complex. Their telephone number is (732) 262-5210 or you can get more information from their web page at hopepeacelight.org

Morning Es Trading
Friday's Market Review
Friday's auction for the E-mini S&P 500 futures may have seemed a bit dull and inconsequential to some, but I believe it was quite important. The early-morning breakdown from 1474.50 provided sellers with an opportunity to push through 1470.25 -- and, as you'll recall, that was a relatively important level that the bulls had needed to hold....557 more words left in this article.

Marshall Henderson apologized in an open letter to his many fans during the NCAA tournament when he gave fans at an NCAA tournament game against La Salle the middle finger salute.
Whether the apology was accepted was irrelevant to the NCAA, which reprimanded the Ole Miss guard on Wednesday.
"A point of emphasis with the committee over the last several year continues to be ensuring that championship participants act in a manner that represents the highest standards of sportsmanship," said Ron Wellman, chair of the Division I Men's Basketball Committee and Wake Forest athletic director. "Mr. Henderson's actions failed in this regard."
Marshall hasn't spoken to the media since, but has been active on Twitter, including voicing a show of support for Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel after Manziel fired off a tweet about wanting to get out of College Station, Texas.
@JManziel2 they dont understand do they!?!— marshall henderson (@NativeFlash22) June 17, 2013
Coach Andy Kennedy says he is talking to Henderson about maturity.
"Marshall did some things in our last game that he wanted to make amends with, some of the emotional things that we've always talked to him about," Kennedy told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. "Passion is good, emotion is not so good. At times he goes from one lane into another."
Marshall wasn't alone in getting the watch-yourself tone from the NCAA. Kansas coach Bill Self and a Wichita State administrator were also publicly reprimanded.

About 2 weeks ago, I was doing some field work and was trying a 2 finger grip in an attempt to feel more disc pivot and how it rips out of my hand. I was throwing a wide rim driver (dumb) and sprained the middle finger joint in my hand. When the disc ripped out of my hand it held on to my middle finger and hyper-extended it and probably tore a ligament. I rested it for a few days and tried to play a round at tags but it's still fairly painful. Since then I've had to do a fan grip to prevent any pressure on that middle finger. There were a few drives where it felt like it ripped out of my index finger and I didn't experience the pain. Unfortunately I don't have any consistency getting that rip but once it heals I would like to work on fixing that aspect of my throw.
Edit: Should probably add that I've been using a power grip for drives and fan grip for mid range driving and upshots <300'

TwinsFest has successful Target Field debut
MINNEAPOLIS -- TwinsFest officially moved to Target Field on Friday, as thousands of fans filed into the ballpark on a snowy first day of the three-day event, which was formerly held at the Metrodome.
More than 70 current, former and future Twins players were on hand for TwinsFest, which allowed for far more fan interaction with the players at the new venue.
"We're excited, but at the same time we were apprehensive because TwinsFest at the Metrodome worked so well for so many years," Twins president Dave St. Peter said. "We tried to communicate it's a different event. But so far, so good. We've seen a few things we might want to tweak, but at the end of the day, it's been a lot of fun and fans are getting a chance to interact with players and get autographs and bid on memorabilia and raise money for the Twins Community Fund."
Many new features were added to TwinsFest this year, such as clubhouse tours, a chance to hit in the batting cages, interactive games with Twins players, the inaugural Twins Yard Sale and a "White Glove" tour hosted by team curator Clyde Doepner.
TwinsFest still includes autograph and photo sessions with players, as well as the region's largest sports memorabilia and collector's show, while adding increased player involvement. By Friday, tickets for Saturday sold out, but tickets were still available for Sunday.
"I think the best part of TwinsFest is that fans are accessing areas of Target Field they've never seen," St. Peter said. "That's a pretty cool thing. To see the look on a kid's face when he walks into the clubhouse, or for fans to be able to access the Metropolitan or Champions Club is a good experience."

Helping you through 'Hump Day' Wednesday, leading health and energy expert Oliver Gray offers us handy tips and advice for avoiding day-to-day stress.
Your 3-step plan to beat stress
Stress isn't always bad; a bit of pressure can help us perform better and motivate us to do our best. When we fail to manage stress effectively it can cause terrible side effects, from both a mental and physical perspective. In fact, a recent study from New York University has revealed stress really is causing our hair to go grey.
There's no getting away from pressure - life is full of deadlines and little frustrations. It is how we deal with these that will limit the negative impact of stress on our mind and body. We can protect ourselves by becoming more resilient, making sure that we are able to recognise the signs and symptoms of stress and then taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.
Here is your three-step plan to become more resilient and beat stress:
1. Reframe your view of the situation
More often than not stress is caused by your view of the situation rather than the situation itself. Always talk positively about your situation, if you're finding it hard to get positive, talk to a positive friend to help get you back on track.
2. Taking action
Write down the problem that is causing you the biggest amount of stress, then set yourself three actions to remove minimise or overcome this challenge.
3. Your health and energy
As we all know it's a lot harder to deal with big challenges when you have poor health or low energy.
• Sleep, healthy nutrition and exercise is a great way to start defeating stress
• Make sure you're sleeping well. Start by avoiding all technology an hour before bed
• Healthy nutrition. Start by making sure you have a light evening meal. Healthy protein and lots of colourful vegetables is perfect
• 20 minutes of morning movement is a great daily habit that will kick start your energy for the day
Oliver Gray is author of ENERGISE YOU – The ultimate health and energy plan. This book focuses on bringing together all the best information on health, energy & happiness in one easy-to-implement system for change. For more information, visit www.energiseyou.com/book .

Hamilton progressing toward return with agility drills
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Josh Hamilton did agility drills on the field Sunday, planned to do straight-ahead sprints on Monday and could make his spring debut as early as Thursday, though the Angels' outfielder doesn't want to put a precise time frame on his recovery.
"Nobody can win with time frames," Hamilton said.
Tuesday will mark exactly two weeks -- the minimum amount of time he was expected to be out -- since Hamilton strained his left calf during a baserunning drill. Shortly after that, the 32-year-old outfielder ditched the crutches, began hitting and throwing off one leg, then progressed towards running on a treadmill and hitting on the field.
Hamilton typically likes to get somewhere between 45 and 55 at-bats to get ready for the regular season, and he feels he'll have enough time to get that if he returns by the end of the week.

Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to sign two key bills–one that will streamline the teacher dismissal process to ensure student safety and one that suspends the STAR tests to allow students to transition to testing aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
While the governor has 30 days from the end of the legislative session to sign the measures, he could make his decision at any time between now and then.
The first bill – CTA-supported AB 375 by Assembly Education Chair Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo) and Principal Coauthor Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) – streamlines and expedites the dismissal process to keep students safe, safeguard the integrity of the profession and protect the rights of educators.
The second measure – CTA-supported AB 484 by Assembly Member Susan Bonila (D-Concord) – will align student assessments with the new Common Core State Standards.

Well, we wish she had. and If she had, I think she would have liked it here…
As children bid the guest good-night,
And the reluctant turn,
My flowers raise their pretty lips,
Then put their nightgowns on.
As children caper when they wake,
Merry that it is morn,
My flowers from a hundred cribs
Will peep, and prance again.

Topic: Still stable
Hi, all,
The ct scan from friday showed no new growth.nso stable is still the word!! Yippee!!
I met a gentleman with colon cancer who is beginning cycle 2 in the trial. We talked for a while bout chemo side effects. He has Tumors netted to his stomach, liver, and lung, but looks healthy (don't we love that saying?)! He's tolerating the drug well, too, but we laughed at our acne. He has the same pimply things. And we both agree they are itchy, hard and more painful than "zits"!
CA 19-9 is up just a hair.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."

Cal Am's local water customers have every right to feel like they're being kicked while they're down.
The latest in a succession of low blows is word that eight organizations are asking the state Public Utilities Commission to pay them a total of more than $1.3 million in the coming years so they can weigh in on various aspects of Cal Am's Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project.
Money for the payments would not actually come from the PUC, of course. It would come from you and you and you, because you drink the water and pay the bills. This, of course, is on top of large and frequent rate increases and other costs associated with the ongoing Peninsula water wars and the failed desalination effort that preceded the current version.
It might not feel so rough if the groups were fighting to keep down costs and rates. That is the mission of some, such as Citizens for Public Water.
But the environmental groups with their hands out — Surfrider Foundation, the Sierra Club, LandWatch and the Planning and Conservation League — have interests other than your water bill. And though their goals may be noble, their work easily could make the long-awaited water project even more expensive.
Surfrider, for instance, was paid more than $250,000 previously for its lobbying on the defunct Regional Desalination Project, work that consisted largely of helping to steer the previous project away from Moss Landing. Steering the desalination component back toward Moss Landing is a big part of what WaterPlus hopes to accomplish, with the help of $334,000 in PUC-ordered compensation.
Look for a key farm group, the Salinas Valley Water Coalition, to receive a portion of your water bill in the future for reminding the PUC about water rights issues that the PUC chose to ignore while allowing the previous project to go down the drain.
The Coalition of Peninsula Businesses includes the Monterey County Hospitality Association, the Monterey County Association of Realtors and other business groups. It wants up to $400 an hour for 875 hours of work on the water project. Don't be surprised if some of the hours are spent pushing a rate structure that favors commerical users over residential customers.
In theory, there is logic behind the compensation system. The utilities regulated by the Public Utilities Commission tend to be large, well-financed concerns such as PG&E or California American Water, which can afford high-dollar lawyers, lobbyists, accountants and others to make the case for high utility rates and anything else the utility companies want. The PUC has a staff assigned to stand up on behalf of the ratepayers, the Division of Ratepayer Advocates, but it is a relatively small office stretched ridiculously thin.
Theoretically, the system could provide meaningful protection for the ratepayers except that there are no clear rules on what groups qualify for payments and no requirement that they actually operate in the interests of the ratepayers. Nor does the PUC staff have the time or inclination to monitor the side deals and shifting alliances that are almost certain to arise when such a variety of groups are involved.
The regulated utility is in position to oppose payment to some groups and to support payment to others. Don't expect Cal Am to explain its rationale when that time comes.
While PUC officials urge the various groups to coordinate efforts and avoid redundancy, it should require them to demonstrate that their work is reasonably intended to serve the general public good and not just their special interest. They should be required to file regular reports on their efforts and not just wait until the end when the loot is handed out — assuming there is any loot left.

WWE: What Tag-team Division?
by, 05-11-2012 at 05:11 PM (2970 Views)
I haven't done a blog in a while, so I thought I'd write about an issue within WWE that's been a concern of mine and many others for quite some time. Recently I've noticed a great deal of talk about WWE's tag-team division – or lack thereof. I've seen several proposed 'answers' to the decline of the division as well as suggestions as to who on the current WWE roster could be paired in a rejuvenation of the division. I find the solution to this problem far simpler.
As far as I see it, what the WWE of 2012 are failing to realise is that there is a difference between a tag-team and two singles wrestlers who have been paired together. In WWE's contemporary era, we've seen several singles wrestlers simply thrown together in an attempt to create tag-teams. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work like that. I can only speak for myself but I really see no value in the likes of Kofi Kingston and R Truth as a tag-team. I felt exactly the same with Kingston/Bourne and with Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov. They're hardly 2012's Road Warriors or New Age Outlaws are they? I think these pairings are a simple case of WWE insulting their audience's intelligence. They can't seriously think that we believe time and patience will be put into putting these teams over as credible. Their reasoning for these pairings is quite clear-cut in my view; there's just no other place for these guys on the card. By putting the likes of Kingston/Bourne into a tag-team, they're killing two birds with one stone and getting them both on TV. But they're not on TV as a credible tag-team and as an unconvincing tag-team, they're no longer being pushed as singles wrestlers.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes it works. The pairing of two singles wrestlers can be a good thing in the short-term. I thought both The Miz & Big Show and Jericho & Big Show worked great as a team. As partners, these teams had a common ground and they were a believable tag-team whilst being credible singles wrestlers at the same time. The problem with some recent pairings is that the team have no common ground, they don't have enough chemistry on screen which makes it really uninteresting on television. I find nothing interesting about Kingston and R Truth as a tag team; but I find Kingston an exciting performer in the ring and Truth a fun and interesting guy on the mic. I just don't think it works in the same way as The Miz & Big Show. But as I say, although certain pairings may work, it is only in the short-term before they break off and return to their own singles paths.
In my eyes, the emphasis should be on the real tag-teams; Primo & Epico, The Usos; teams which there aren't enough of in WWE. It's a difficult task to rebrand two singles superstars as a tag-team and for that reason, I think the answer to that problem is a lot easier. Instead of introducing new singles wrestlers to the roster, WWE should also be gradually introducing and establishing new tag-teams from developmental. These teams – like Primo & Epico and The Usos should have a common ground. No, they don't need to be related but there should be something common about these pairings. MNM instantly came to mind. When introduced in 2005, Nitro and Mercury were a believable tag-team who were a success as well as credible to the WWE audience. I felt the same about the (far too short-lived) Hart Dynasty, Hawkins & Ryder and Haas & Benjamin.
Granted, on the splitting of some teams, one or both of the members go on to enjoy singles successes in their own right. Of the teams listed above, Shelton Benjamin enjoyed some success before being released by WWE in 2010 and Zack Ryder has gained popularity as an individual of late. However in most cases, this isn't the case and both wrestlers tend to linger on the roster as 'enhancement talent' or worse; back on the unemployed list.
Instead of introducing tag-teams and splitting them up before they've even got started, WWE should be putting more effort and patience into pushing and establishing teams like the Hart Dynasty. That team was over before it had even started. If they put some real energy into pushing these interesting teams who have chemistry and credibility, this problem could be over in no time. All it would take is the gradual implementation of tag-teams from FCW and maybe a couple from the independent scene. If they did this, they wouldn't need to throw together a team like Kingston and Truth who are no longer being pushed as singles wrestlers, have little credibility and chemistry as a tag-team, whilst at the same time, letting the credibility of the championships that they hold plummet with them.

" Whites / De Havilland Way / Horwich / Bolton / Greater Manchester / BL6 6SF / Tel: 01204 667788 / "
Me and my husband stayed at De Vere Whites in Bolton on valentines day this year, we only live 15 minutes away from Bolton but they were selling rooms for £19 which they do every year around february.
This hotel is part of Bolton Wanderers football ground, we actually stayed there when there was a match on, yet we still managed to get a parking spot near the front of the hotel just by showing our reservation.
The rooms are very nice with big comfortable big beds and the usual tea, coffee and biscuits, we paid £7.50 each extra for the breakfast and it was worth the money, they had everything you could desire to eat.
We like to book the Bolton hotel because it is set on the rebock retail park so we usually go to vue cinema and watch a film, then go to the harvester for tea and a drink, then back to the hotel all within walking distance.
The pool and jazzuci is a nice way to chill and the steam room is fantastic, you can spend hours as it is usually quiet and you almost have the pool to yourself, they also have a stand up sun bed tanning room, you need to get your token from the reception before you go into the pool.
This hotel is part of the Reebok Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers football club. It was added as a later addition to the stadium. There is more than adequate parking to the front of the hotel and is within a short walk of Horwich Parkway train station so easy to access on foot. This rail link provides access to Bolton (10 minutes) and Manchester (35 minutes). The hotel is also near to the Middlebroook retail park with shops such as M&S, Next, Currys, Au naturale, Asda. A large Tesco is also next to the Stadium. The hotel has been designed to fit in with the stadium and looks good from the outside. Once inside, he hotel gives the up market feel from as soon as you enter and the service is excellent and there is a small gym and pool to relax. Some of the rooms overlook the Reebok Stadium pitch which would be ideal for Bolton fans. There are also lots of function rooms available to use for events. This is an ideal hotel, for either a short stay or to provide functions for work events. The cost can be quite expensive but there are often deals available to get reductions - overall, I would recommend this hotel.
Just come back from a long weekend here with husband and our one year old. This is predominately used for conferences and as such tends to have special offers on a weekend.
Just off the M61, ample parking, automatic doors lifts to all areas and wide corridors.
Paid £25 a night including breakfast (which we didn't realise until we checked out, we thought we'd have to pay the £7.50 each per day!)
Room wasn't huge but big enough for a double bed, travel cot, single chair and small circular table. The only downside in my opinion was the mattress was very firm and made my back ache. The bathroom was an adequate size, bath with overhead shower, toilet and sink. Plenty of wardrobe space, kettle, complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and 2 small bottles of water replaced daily. Each room also has an iron and hairdryer. We never heard a peep from our neighbours whilst we were there, however due to the hot weather the room was very warm so we had to keep our window open which resulted in a little road noise, nothing major and nothing that kept us awake. Internet access was available in rooms but at £15 a day I thought it was steep but then it's a conference hotel so I guess it's to be expected.
All areas were kept very clean
Every member of staff we encountered were lovely, friendly and helpful - especially with our little boy. They suggested child friendly places for us to eat, supplied us with milk for him when ours went sour and you just felt nothing was a bother.
We used the pool - which is quite small but adequate for us and Jacuzzi, there is also a sauna and sun shower. They have male and female changing areas plus a separate family change room and a disabled change room. When you sign in you are supplied with towels and a key to a locker (free of charge).
I believe this normally costs £7.50, which is the usual price for this sort of breakfast in most hotels. There was a good choice of hot food, cereal, fruit, toast and pastries which you could help yourself to.
We didn't eat in the restaurant in the evenings nor use the bar but both areas looked clean and spacious.
Local area:
Within walking distance is a 24 hour Tesco (had breakfast here one day - a good cheap option if breakfast isn't included in your room rate) and Asda, cinema, bowling, and shops including M&S, Next, Boots, Game and the Works. Food/beverage wise there is Starbucks, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, McD's, a Harvester and a bar which I think was called Scotty's. If you want to travel further afield less than a 5 minute walk is Horwich Parkway train station - Manchester return was £3.20 and takes about 30 minutes. We also took our little one to Blackpool zoo which was only about 40 minutes in the car (you can also take the train to Blackpool from here).
All in all we had a very enjoyable stay which for £25 a night was an absolute steal. We'd definitely return if we could get the same or similar rate.
Hi folks, just got back from another delightful stay at the DeVere Whites Hotel, near Bolton.
This unique hotel is built into Bolton Wanderer's Football Club home ground; the Reebok Stadium giving guests the chance to watch live football through a window in their room whilst lying in bed (should you want to pay extra for this).
This time around I decided to take up the breakfast option which was £7.50 for a help yourself breakfast which included juice , coffee, full english brakfast, cereal, croissants, pastrys, fruit salad, and a selection of preserves and toast very good value as you could eat as much as you like.
The room was slightly smaller this time round but was still up to a high standard and more than comfortable.
A very-modern venue with a difference, this unique meeting and exhibition centre can be configured to host up to 1,500 people. That's one hell of a meeting or training session! Whites is used to the roar of the crowd as it is fully integrated into the Reebok Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers FC, providing a memorable location for your event. Junction 6 of the M61 is just 500 yards away, a short drive from Manchester. Another plus point is its surrounded by all sorts of various shops. With a vue cinema nearby(about 5 minutes walk) and a bowling and arcade area as well there is loads to do. We chose to go and see Inkheart which was a mediocre but bareable film.
Their helpful team obviously take dealing with such scale in their stride - however big your event is and whatever you need, they will make sure your stay is care free and relaxing. and are always more than happy to help, from pre-planning to the end of the busy day, to ensure you get the perfect bespoke event for your needs. A trip to the health facilities makes a great way to wind down. And later, enjoy a drink in the Pure bar and then a local dish in the excellent Brasserie restaurant. The restaurant has a good wide menu and some great wines to taste. I had the common old gammon and chips but as far as that dish goes it was well above average. we also had a bottle of the wine which you could tell was selected on the qaulity and not just price margain.
When me and my girlfriend went we found it to have great service and excellent rooms , great size and standard. with a tv, some sky channels, iron and board, great working shower, internet connection if needed,hairdryer.
If you pay around £200- £300 you can get a matchday pitch view which is based on 2 sharing with breakfast and dinner in the package. or this offer can be made a 2 night stay for just around £430.
I would definitely recommend staying at this venue, what makes the stay even better is if you get the £19 a night offer, the value for money speaks for itself really!.
Whites is an ultra modern hotel with a difference. Not many hotels can claim to offer the perfect mix of comfort, style and football. This magnificent four-star hotel is fully integrated into the Reebok Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers. On the first floor is a glazed lobby with glass lifts and a sweeping staircase leading to the elegant brasserie and bar.

Norman, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - Intrastate rivals collide on Monday night, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys pay a visit to the Oklahoma Sooners for a Big 12 Conference tussle at the Lloyd Noble Center.
Oklahoma State had some trouble with West Virginia at home on Saturday, but it escaped with an 81-75 victory. The win was the fourth in the last five games for the Cowboys, who are 16-3 overall, but a more pedestrian 4-2 in conference play. The gauntlet continues for the Pokes, as they will host Baylor and Iowa State in their next two bouts.
Oklahoma is returning home after taking a trip to Lubbock, Texas to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Sooners claimed a 74-65 victory in that clash, improving to 16-4 overall and 5-2 in conference with a third straight victory. They will be on the road against Iowa State and West Virginia in their next two outings.
There have been 224 meetings between these squads all time, and Oklahoma has won 129 of them, but the teams split the season series a year ago, with each winning at home.
The squads will meet in Stillwater on Feb. 15 to complete the regular-season series.
Five players scored in double figures, led by Le'Bryan Nash and his 29 points, in Oklahoma State's recent win over West Virginia. The Cowboys held the Mountaineers to 36.8 percent field goal efficiency, and scored 23 points off turnovers.
Surprisingly, Marcus Smart (17.1 ppg, 4.4 apg) was not one of the players in double figures for the Cowboys in the win. Smart struggled to find his groove, going 1-of-7 from the floor, and he got into foul trouble, playing only 25 minutes before fouling out. Markel Brown (16.5 ppg) and Nash (14.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg) were able to pick up the slack, although the latter was eventually sent away with five fouls. Brown tallied 15 points and 10 rebounds in the winning effort. Phil Forte (12.6 ppg), who is the fourth and final member of the team averaging in double figures, finished with 13 points on Saturday, but on just 2-of-12 accuracy from the field.
Buddy Hield drilled 4-of-7 shots from beyond the arc and finished with 18 points to lead Oklahoma past Texas Tech. The Sooners had a 14-3 scoring edge off turnovers, while limiting the Red Raiders to just 4-of-14 from 3-point range and 42.1 percent shooting overall.
Oklahoma relies heavily on its starting rotation, with each member of the lineup averaging more than 10 ppg this season. Cameron Clark (17 ppg) is the leader of the group, ranking fifth in the league in scoring as well. He finished with 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting against Texas Tech. Hield (16.6 ppg) is the second option. He is a lethal 3-point shooter, netting 38.1 percent from that distance, while knocking down at least four triples in three of the last five games. Ryan Spangler (11.1 ppg, 9.8 rpg), Jordan Woodard (11 ppg) and Isaiah Cousins (10.4 ppg) give the Sooners additional scoring threats, but depth is an issue, with Tyler Neal (5.9 ppg) the best choice off the bench.

Wade not even in the top ten???This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We are talking a guy who has two championships, one of the greatest final performances of all time (blame the refs all you want, but Wade was the most aggressive player on the court and was rewarded), he has averaged 25 PPG on almost 50% shooting. Is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA, and perhaps the best shot blocker from the shooting guard position ever.
He's already been in the league for a decade, so are some of you that concerned with an extra 5 years of work? I mean Maravich was only in the league for ten freaking years and never won a title. Heck, he only made it to the playoffs 4 times and you've got him 6th on your list.

Parkinson disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative illnesses. The disease is characterized by decrease in dopamine levels and decrease in the number of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine receptors. There are gene mutations that increase the risk for the disease. Two of those mutations are on the LRRK2 gene and on GBA gene. It is yet unknown if there is a difference between the metabolic brain function of Parkinson patients that carry one of the two mutations to Parkinson patients with no known mutation.
Participants: diagnosed Parkinson patients that carry a gene mutation in either LRRK2 or GBA genes, Parkinson patients with no known mutation and healthy volunteers as a control group.
The participants will go through both examinations DAT SCAN and PET CT SCAN at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center Nuclear Medicine Institute.
The examination results will be given to the participants by a doctor from the neurology department.

Hi there everyone, I usually make these blogs regarding predictions for upcoming PPV's and I will be next week ready for the Elimination Chamber PPV, but this time I thought I'd share what my thoughts are regarding the upcoming E.C. PPV.
I am always exciting around this time of year simply because we are on the Road to WrestleMania! This is a time where storylines are created
Hi there, the last time I write one of these posts was last year for SummerSlam 2013. I was pretty good at predicting the results for the event so I'll have a stab at it tonight.
For me, I am really excited for tonight's Royal Rumble event. I think it has the potential to be one of the greatest Royal Rumble events of all tonight. Every match has the potential to be great and what is
Hi there guys, well I'm here to do what most people are doing and that's stating their predictions for SummerSlam 2013! This is the third time I have posted predictions for a PPV, and when I did WrestleMania and Money in the Bank, I was right on over half of the matches, so let's take a look at the matches that will take place tonight...
Pre-Show- United States Championship- Dean Ambrose
Hi there, with Money in the Bank coming up in just a few days, I'd thought I'd write a blog and state what my predictions are the upcoming event. The last time I written one of these blogs was for WrestleMania 29 back in April, and my predictions were all spot on apart from two.
This year I think that the Money in the Bank card has got some quality matches on there and looks like a very
Hi there everyone, WrestleMania 29 is just a few days away and I am so excited to be watching it! This will be my 7th consecutive WrestleMania I'll be watching live and even though I've heard a lot of people say this is one of the worst card's ever, I still believe that some of the matches can definitely deliver in one way or another. Here are my predictions of what will happen Sunday:
I have been playing the WWE'13 Game like crazy ever since it was released. I have so far done a calender of matches from WrestleMania 28 (2012) to TLC (2012) and will work my way up to WrestleMania 30 (2014). This is just something I thought I'd upload so nothing important but if you wanna read and leave your thoughts, then be my guest!

More than 200 Colorado Latinos and their backers, including some 40 elected officials, helped launch the American Dream Political Action Committee this morning with a fundraising breakfast at the Denver Athletic Club in support of Colorado's ASSET legislation.
The PAC, founded by seven of the state's most powerful Latinas, is focused - for now - on rallying resources to get the Colorado ASSET bill passed in the state Legislature this year.
A student "Dreamer" from Aurora and syndicated radio personality Mario Solis Marich, whose national Clear Channel show was recently canceled, also spoke in support of the bill, which would create a third tier of tuition - an amount higher than residents pay but below out-of-state rates - for undocumented students at state colleges and universities. This is the sixth time in recent years that the Legislature has considered such a bill.
Photos: American Dream Political Action Committee breakfast
"Politics isn't just about passion, it's really about power," said Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, who along with Veronica Barela, Patricia Barela Rivera, Nita Gonzales, Joelle Martinez, the Hon. Ramona Martinez and Cindy Peña founded the American Dream PAC. "We need to be able to build political power to get issues like Colorado ASSET to be passed. Being able to financially support candidates who are champions of these issues is one of the things we really need to focus us on as a community. That's really where the idea came from."
The inaugural fundraiser was a sellout, with about $10,000 raised that will go directly to candidates who support this effort.
"We have to pass the access bill, we have to pass the Dream Act, and we have to pass comprehensive immigration reform," said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, in addressing the crowd. "Consider me your ally in this fight."
Rep. Ed Perlmutter also expressed his support for the students the ASSET legislation would assist.
"We need their talent. We need it maximized," he said.
Former Secretary of Transportation Federico Peña, president/CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Denver Guillermo "Bill" Vidal and former Sen. Polly Baca were also at the breakfast.
Laura Serrano, a senior at Aurora Central High School, was invited to represent the kind of student who would benefit from the tuition bill.
Serrano arrived in this country at the age of 7 when her family received asylum because of the destruction caused by an earthquake in El Salvador. She is in the top 10 percent of her class and has been accepted at the University of Colorado and at Fort Hays State University in Kansas but is ineligible to receive most aid and scholarships because of her Work Permit status. She admitted that the out-of-state cost of CU forced her to rule out that option.
"What stops me from going to school in Kansas is I work to help my mother support my family," she said, her voice breaking with emotion. "If I leave, my mother would have a really hard time. If ASSET passes, I'd be able to stay in Colorado and help my mother support my family."
Solis, who was named the best talk show host in 2011 by the Colorado Broadcasters Association, said of the students who would benefit from the passing of ASSET: "We cannot waste potential."
"No longer is our community in a mood to reward people for not attacking us. We are in the mood to reward people for fighting for us," he added.
But this is just a first step, said Duran. "We'll focus on this until we're able to successfully pass ASSET. In the future, there are other issues we're going to focus on."

RGIII is good this year, but I want to see him next year, make sure he is not another Cam Newton
RGIII with a knee injury. Ugghh. Hopefully not bad.
RG3 is good but again the knock on him is can he stay healthy doing all of these crazy things
Never half-a** two things. Whole-a** one thing.
I hope he's OK. It looked pretty ugly. On the positive side for the Skins, they have only needed cousins twice this year and he delivered both times. What is with these rookie QB's? Every single one of them is contributing to wins for their teams.
I thought for sure it's his fibula, but now they're saying it's his knee. The entire bar I was at gasped on the replays.
He wanted to come back so probably is not that bad, I hope so.
Unfortunately I haven't seen very much of RGIII this season, but I've seen plenty of Luck. Early in the season, say the first 3-4 games, Luck had real accuracy problems and was bailed out *numerous* times by his WRs making fantastic grabs. He threw many very bad deep balls.
I thought he'd turned the corner when he had a stretch of a handful of games where the deep ball seemed improved and his throws were on time and on target.
However, the past 3 games he appears to have regressed and again is late on throws and off target, plus making some ****-poor decisions.
I realize he doesn't have a great running game to support him and an average, at best, OL. Still, I am finding myself less sold on Luck than I was pre-season and earlier in the regular season. These ugly wins they're putting together are great right now, making it very exciting for the fans on the heels of the 2-14 year and generating so much optimism about the rebuild. But this won't last forever and they can't make a living on it.
The guy has got to learn to pull the ball in and take the sack or scramble for what's available. And he's gotta improve on the accuracy or his career is not going to live up to expectations.
Truth is he overthrows some balls.Plus he really needs to cut down the number of his interceptions.He has many as his TDs.
I have a hard time thinking a rookie QB won't improve on that end of things. And let's not forget part of the problem is he has to hurry throws because the OL isn't giving him much time.
The one thing I'm curious about is why there isn't some shorter routes and quicker throws in the offense?
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
RGIII tweeted this out a bit ago. Seems like he might be ok, or at least he thinks so.
Robert Griffin III @RGIII
Your positive vibes and prayers worked people!!!! To God be the Glory!
I TVIO'd the game, still have not seen it besides highlights.
Looked like he got hurt on a scramble where he was looking for an open receiver, not a designed run. Freak injruies happen all the time, even to QB's.
Now if you want to say the coaches should run him less, I agree. But they have cut down on his runs, and hopefully will continue to do so as the season progresses
Play to play no, but in general you could not be more wrong.
He is the owner of the team and it is his money and his investment. He has everything to do with how RG3 is used.
He hires the GM and probably has input on the coach also.
RG3 doesn't seem to have any clue how to conclude a play safely, he puts himself in awkward positions too often. This is the third time this year at least where people claim "freak accidents occur" in regards to an awkward RG3 collision.
His sideline concussion; his helicopter hit a few weeks ago and now this play where his leg got bent in two.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I know that the "RGIII always runs" discussion has almost reached bandwagon levels but there is some truth in it indeed.I am not talking about if it's effective or not but strictly about the player's health.I can't see him lasting long in the NFL if he mostly does that.Word concussion springs to mind.If the coaches have toned them down,then that's very good for both the parties.
He needs to knee brace up on one of his knees like Luck does. Who cares if you're maybe not going to break a 70 yard run, Luck has shown you can still be plenty of quick and it will really protect you.
General or not, Snyder has had his had to run the franchise. He failed. Miserably. We were the butt of many jokes. Point blank, we sucked.
He hired Allen, then Shanny. Guys who are football guys. Sure, he can offer some suggestions, but using your quote "The owner of the team ought to do RG a favor and use him like a regular QB" that is the old Dan Snyder. The one who failed. Numerous times.
The irony is he started meeting with Shanny once a week (Sunday night) after the Giants loss a few weeks ago. That is overstepping his bounds IMO, so short of telling Bruce and Mike "I want him protected more, please look into it" I would prefer he got sit down and let the pros do what they get paid for.
Cause yes, it if his investment. But if is also the coaches and front officers investment.
What, is there a limit of freak injruies to happen to a player now
I dont even think he was hurt of the helicoptor, but those first two were stupid. I dont think there was anything freak about the concussion.
This play was very freak, but I agree if he was running less there would be less chances for this to happen.
Like I said, though, it looks like he got hurt on a scramble. Not a option or whatever the hell they call that play
Luck hasn't gotten injured yet, RG3 has. Luck is reliable and clutch.
Smothered Chicken!
Wish there was a way to change the title of this thread to Luck & Griffin let it begin.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
But RG3 is clutch, completes 12% more of his passes, throws the same number of TD passes, while Luck throws more than 4 times as many INTs, on passes that average fewer yards per attempt, and RG's passer rating is a whopping 30 points higher.
I'd prefer Luck, to be honest, but to suggest that both of these guys don't show franchise QB ability is crazy. Luck has to greatly improve on accuracy and decision-making with regard to forcing throws, while RG3 needs to greatly improve on decision-making with regard to protecting himself from injury. Neither skill set is easy to learn, but both are doable.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Slick, Luck averages fewer yards per attempt because of his amount of throws. No one has thrown the ball downfield more than Luck this year.

The Eleven Rivers Growers food safety and quality assurance label enters Mexico's winter season with a boost from acceptance of its standards by SENASICA, the National Service of Health, Food Safety and Quality.
Eleven Rivers Growers Cooperative LLC plans to start the deal with about 15 companies carrying its label and finish with 24 or so. All are in Sinaloa, but the nonprofit cooperative expects to have members nationwide by summer. Last year's volume was 8 million 25-pound boxes, and should reach 12 million this time around, according to spokesman Fernando Mariscal.
Participants include a variety of Mexican growers. Distributors have included Del Campo Supreme, SunFed, Tricar Sales, Omega Produce Co., Ciruli Bros., The Oppenheimer Group, Farmer's Best International, J-C Distributing Inc., H M Distributors, Marengo Foods Co. LLC, Divine Flavor, and G R Produce Inc. among others.
The approval from Mexico's counterpart to the Food and Drug Administration came as October started.
"We are going to be the first independent standard to be recognized by SENASICA," Mariscal said.
That decision left Eleven Rivers just two months to negotiate with Primus Labs, Safe Quality Food Institute and Scientific Certification Systems and set the co-op on a path to covering the standard.
Beyond third-party audits, Eleven Rivers is also committed to weekly verifications at each grower, a more demanding task. The coop started working with Intertek on those in August, switching from Cesavesin.
"Cesavesin is part owned producers and part owned by government," Mariscal said. "It was interesting to work with them and important to learn the whole process and see how we can do it. But for the next season we need a totally independent organization to be able to operate under the Global Food Safety Initiative."
The weekly checks were not part of Eleven Rivers' original plan, but turned out to be necessary.
"We saw that if you are working on a monthly basis you cannot achieve the performance level you need," Mariscal said. "The only way is to do it weekly, so you don't make it easy on the challenge."
The co-op finished its first year with 93% of performance meeting standards.
The program is one for larger growers.
"If you're going to have weekly auditing, you have to have important volume to cover the expense," Mariscal said. "Each producer pays independently for certification to the company they want; but once they get their certification and comply with everything required, they pay an annual fee to be part of the group and we cover all weekly audits. We don't want them to have any doubt whether they pass or not."
Noncompliance results in restricting use of the label. Eleven Rivers is developing a digital system that will report the Intertek results directly to members and probably to government authorities as well.
The annual fee covers label costs, promotions and auditing expenses.
For transparency's sake, Mariscal said, the coop framed its model in reference to the widely accepted tomato metrics published by the United Fresh Produce Association. In its first year, tomatoes were about 40% of labeled products.
The flurry of activity prompted by SENASICA's approval, as well as the co-op's experience at recent Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summits, prompted a reduced presence at this year's trade show.
"This is the first year we did not have a booth at PMA," Mariscal said. "It's a change of strategy. In the past three years we had some success, but there have not been many new people to meet. Because we're not reaching any new clients or markets, and we have a lot of work to do training auditors, our focus is more internal."

"I didn't like it, but at the same time, we could have prevented them from doing it. I don't think I can tell them what they should or should not do, but whether I like it or not is a different thing."
"That celebration is the culmination of a long, long season and it's like Little League when you win. It's exciting. That stuff is spontaneous. I don't think it was planned to disrespect anybody or embarrass anybody. Everybody was gone, maybe 100 fans were left. We weren't rubbing it in anybody's face.
"If we won it here, would the Padres be mad if we jumped the fence and made sand castles?"
"Maybe I'm missing the point, but to me it's the simple (fact) that to the victor go the spoils."
"A dozen people in Chicago were shot yesterday and everybody's talking about a swimming party. It's kind of a sad statement."
"I'm planning on actually getting goggles this year. Last year my eyes were burning (from the champagne)."
"We feel like we can win anywhere. I'd much rather have home-field advantage, but do I want home-field advantage and not have Hanley or Adrian in the lineup? No."
"This is different because in years past it was almost expected. To go through some of the things we've gone through the past three years, the injuries and nonsense and everything, to finally be back at this point is very, very rewarding."
"Get on the bandwagon, there's plenty of room. We ain't done."
"You're going to have four days off after the [regular] season, before the playoffs start. And all of a sudden, if you rest him three or four days now, that's seven out of eight days you don't play your best hitter going into the playoffs, without seeing a pitcher. That's not good either.
"If you make the playoffs, you should get at least two out of three. There's a difference between a one-game playoff if you finish the season in a tie and then the playoffs." … If [giving division winners too much time off is] a big concern, you could suck it up. I'm not into that expeditious mode. I've never been into making this thing happen more quickly, whether it's the game or the season. Including more doubleheaders in the season would shorten the number of days, and then you could fill it up at the end. There are creative ways to get that done in order to keep everybody happy and make it slightly more fair."
"We are going to have to win out and hope for the best on other sides. It's not easy playing the game as is, but we battle and we grind, and sometimes it's like the saying Jim Thome used to use: 'Sometimes you are the bug, sometimes you are the windshield.' Past couple of days we've been the bug, so we need to get back to being that windshield."
"For us to get where we wanted to, we know we needed them. Now it seems like they're swinging a potent bat. That's nice to have. Every once in a while, you need a three-run homer. You can talk all you want about playing the game right, and we certainly try, but it's nice to spread a game out with a three-run homer."
"Meaningful baseball is something we've been wanting. For a lot of these guys that have been around here for six or seven years, this is real exciting, especially for those guys, and even for us young guys to play meaningful baseball in September in the big leagues is awesome. I think we've just got to keep a level head and keep pushing."
"My job is to steal bases, no matter how many I get. That's an accomplishment to get four in one game. Who knows what comes next?"
"He has a chance to be a great basestealer. He's one of those guys like a Rickey Henderson. You know they're running and there's not much you can do. You hope you hold the ball long enough so he doesn't get his best jump."
"Billy makes it happen. Speed kills. I gave him the green light to go whenever he wants to -- a couple of times when he was on second, I'd hold him because we couldn't afford to get him thrown out at third. Man, it was a great game."
"It was a pretty big game. I'm excited about it. Coming in, I was nervous. I got on the field and guys were on my side. They said, 'You've got to go between the white lines, no matter what level you're on.' That really gave me a bunch of confidence and settled me down a bit."
"He's amazing. Everybody in the ballpark knows he's going to steal. Everybody knows why he's in the game but nobody can throw him out. I don't know how he does it. It's been amazing to watch these last few weeks."
"I'm not cocky but I have a lot of confidence in myself. It's like if I get caught stealing. If it happens, I'm going to run again the next time. If they want to be in the big leagues next year, I'll make sure I'm ready for it."
"(It's) the end of an era for us and us being together. It happens. You should know this is not forever. The time will come and that time has arrived. You have to embrace it and move on."
"He was so supportive and told me I had to announce it. He thinks it's going to make the day (Sunday) even better. To hear him say that, and to feel that way about it, I feel like we're connected, in a sense. I feel like God has worked it out where it's happened this way."
"To you fans, thank you for 19 years of support," Rivera told the crowd. "It has been a great run, guys. You guys have been amazing, you always have been here for me and for the organization. I will never forget that. You guys will have part of my heart here in New York. You have taken me in like one of you guys and I do appreciate that."
"I'm very thankful and blessed that people will even bring up my name in that conversation. I've had the success I've had because so many great players have been around me. Do I feel like I dominated this sport as a pitcher? No, I don't. Every outing, for me, I feel like, has been an absolute grind."
"I've been retired and I know what it's going to be like and it's awesome."
"This is for you, Mariano!"
—Athletics minor leaguer Jeremy Barfield, with a public plea for the big leagues.
"It was a crazy play. I liked the play, but I didn't like all that face in the butt. I felt uncomfortable and violated. I know he felt violated too. I'm glad it wasn't my face."
"Obviously, Ted Williams is the greatest hitter who ever lived; I am not. To be in that type of company means I'm old, I guess."
"I've been wanting to do that for 17 seasons. Now I can cross that off my bucket list. It had never worked—that was the first time. Five or six times, I've given it a halfhearted effort. I can't believe it worked."
"I'm sure with any personality that goes to a rival, it's not going to be a warm and fuzzy reaction. I don't understand that, though. They could have signed him. They let him go. It's not like he decided to leave. It'll probably be half and half. A lot of people appreciated what he was able to accomplish, and there will be a mix of traitor talk."
"You can look at it two ways. Obviously, I hate striking out. I hate it and I hate it in certain situations more than others. But the type of hitter that I am, I'm still going to walk a fair amount, I'm going to see pitches and I'm going to get myself into counts. … It is what it is. At least I've been around here long enough to accumulate them."
"If you spend a lot of time around Bedard, he's not really a guy that talks too much, especially not in crowds or groups of people, but I've witnessed him grabbing guys one-on-one and having that mentor type of relationship. That's valuable, especially for the number of young guys that we have here."
"I told them I would be very generous to stay here. I wouldn't sit there and ask for anything outlandish. I'd definitely take a discount to stay here because I think I owe it to them to stay here and be a cheaper player. Nobody wants to play for free but I basically sat there and watched all season. I owe it to them and the fans to come back at a cheaper price. That's kind of what we're hoping for but at the same time I don't know what's going to happen."
"They have to evaluate, just like we have to evaluate our players and make a decision when the season is over on them as well. It's the same thing. It's the way the game is … I've been happy with the way we've done things. Obviously some things haven't gone too well, and some things have gone really well. I'm happy with my coaching staff, but that's up to them. They're the bosses and they make those decisions and evaluate."
"Like I always say, I'd rather be lucky than good. Sale is a tough man to face. For some reason, I've been able to put good swings on him and find holes. Honestly, those are not fun at-bats, trust me."
"They mount over the years, unfortunately. They seem to get more and more extreme. As a player, all you can do is control what you do on the field. As a coach, you can't control anything. As a manager, you just sit here and hope and worry. I think the superstitions probably come a little bit more controlling, put it that way."
"We kind of have that loose, free-and-easy attitude. That's something that you can't teach, the kind of chemistry that we have in the clubhouse. I knew we were onto something. Just the way everyone goes about their business, it's great to be at the ballpark, great to be in the clubhouse."
"Not enough milk or something? No more breastfeeding? I don't know. Global warming?"

Istanbul, Turkey; Two of Turkey's top Secret Police Officers undertake covert anti-terror operations to uncover the true identity of a dangerous Islamic leader known only as 'Dajjal'. Through violent raids and brutal interrogations they uncover his real name.
New York; Led by Agent Becker (Robert Patrick – Terminator 2; Judgement Day) the FBI arrest a prominent Muslim scholar and family man Hadji Gumush in connection with an international arrest warrant issued by Interpol. Have the FBI found Dajjal?
The Turkish secret police officers are swiftly dispatched to New York to assist in the extradition, but the handover is far from simple. With the support of his wife (Gina Gershon – Face/Off) and close friend Marcus (Danny Glover – Lethal Weapon) Hadji manages to elude the authorities and go into hiding. But one of the officers did not travel all that way to just let him disappear quietly into the night; a lifetime of vengeance is about to be unleashed. In this nail biting action-thriller hunter and prey realise they have more in common than they first thought, setting them on a violent course that will force them to face the heart of their faith.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > NICU: Communicating With the Staff
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff are vital not only to
your infant's health but also to your understanding of your infant's condition.
When you are with your infant's doctor or nurse, ask whatever questions you have about your infant's health and care. The NICU staff
understands that this is all new to you. It's a good idea to keep a running list
of written questions to refer to when you're on the unit.
Expect the NICU to be both a stressful place for you and a stressful
place for the staff to work. Events on the NICU can unfold quickly, and
communication can sometimes suffer. With this in mind, be prepared for any of the following problems:
If you encounter communication problems on the NICU:

Join us and explore the world of digital photography!
A discussion of digital photography wouldn't be complete without digital editing options. We'll explore a number of software packages, and you'll learn how to compose your shots when you know you have digital editing available to you. You'll also find out about your digital storage options—on the camera, the computer, and even beyond into cloud storage and online backups.
Whether you plan to print or upload your images, you'll want to be sure that they're the right size to display with excellent quality and speed. We'll review how to size images for use on your computer, the Internet, and with social media. You'll also get a good introduction to printing images and making decisions about your archival options. And we'll discuss how industry and business use digital imaging today.
Digital photography plays a big part in social media communication and image sharing, and we'll discuss the basics of posting images online and some pros and cons of uploading to the Internet. This is especially important if you're traveling and sharing pictures with friends and family back home. As we get to the end of our class, you'll have a chance to explore more options for traveling with your camera that might be new to you!
Whether you're new to photography or a long-time photographer looking to move comfortably into the new world of digital work, this class provides opportunities for putting digital photography to use. This course serves as an excellent introduction before taking Secrets of Better Photography where we focus our time on camera settings, features, and the mechanics of taking better pictures.
Course Revised September 2013

Beverly Richards Schulz is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and an award-winning photographer. She has been teaching photography for more than 15 years. Since her first class with ed2go in 2000, she has written more than 30 online classes in digital photography and digital editing, and she's had the privilege of working with more than 70,000 students. She has a BA in Legal Studies from UC Berkeley, and a master's degree in Adult and Continuing Education. She and Eric Johnson are authors of the book Photoshop Elements 14—What's New?
An avid digital film photographer, she was an early adopter of digital technology and now teaches digital editing and photography skills to students from around the world. For the last 10 years, she has enjoyed being an adjunct faculty member with the University of San Francisco, teaching history and visual arts, as well as displaying and selling her work through galleries, and she has continued to expand her experience in travel photography and cross-cultural studies. In addition to teaching and photographic work, Beverly and her staff provide consulting services for digital photographers and clients.
"I knew nothing, really, about digital photography or cameras when I started. My knowledge was so limited I couldn't even ask questions. Now I feel competent to choose a camera and discuss the subject intelligently with people already using the technology. With the lessons, links, recommended books and other resources gleaned from this course I will practice all of the methods and techniques at my leisure. Many thanks."
"At first, I was leery about taking an online course and even felt that I would have done better in a classroom; however, after two lessons I quickly changed my mind. I liked being able to print the lessons and study at my convenience. I really enjoyed the course."
"Awesome course! Helped me with the purchase of my new camera and the overall functionality of it from the start. Made the purchase exciting not overwhelming or frustrating. THANK YOU!"
"Beverly, I've enjoyed this course because it seemed that the lessons were written just for me and the questions of the other students supplemented the information. Also, no matter how trivial or complicated the students' questions were, you and Eric somehow managed to keep your answers simple and to the point. Thank you. "
"I can't remember when I have been so delighted with a class. The supplemental material alone could keep me busy for several lifetimes. It goes on and on - a wealth of information. Beverly kept it fascinating every inch of the way. This class is the school's best kept secret - and what a bargain! If Beverly teaches it, I'll sign up for it no matter the cost. I can't think of one suggestion to improve this class. How do you improve on perfection?"
"I had no knowledge of digital photography prior to taking this course, and feel I gained a good beginning foundation in this area. Beverly Schulz is extremely knowledgeable, displays warm interpersonal skills in her interaction with those taking this course, and presents the course material in an interesting and lively manner. I appreciate all of the great references she provided."
"I was already familiar with scanning, shooting digital, and editing with software. I learned more technical details in these areas. What I really needed to learn this course taught very well: printing, inks, paper and permanency of photos for the future. I was pleasantly surprised by the historical aspects of photography presented here, giving an excellent context for the extreme changes in photography we are experiencing today. Well worth the time and money. Thank you, Beverly and TA's!"
"Thanks Beverly....This course has helped me to expand my knowledge about photography and has stirred up my interest again in this art form........I'm very excited to have taken your course and to pick up my hobby again."
"This course far exceeded my expectations in information. I had stated many times that I would not change to digital photography. After this course I now am excited about entering the digital world. The course has helped me decide on the camera I want to purchase as well as other equipment I didn't realize I needed. It also gave me wonderful hints and suggestions for photography in general. I now also feel more confident in using the internet. Thank you so much."
"This course has given me the skills I need to continue exploring photography. I have enjoyed this experience completely. My job has hindered me from pursuing additional learning opportunities, but this class's timeline allowed me to balance a very demanding job with my desire to continue my education. Thank you!"

LAKE FOREST – More than a decade ago, City Councilman Dwight Robinson recalls hearing talk about Lake Forest's future sports park.
On Tuesday, he and his four colleagues on the council signed off on a construction contract of nearly $36 million for the 86-acre park, putting a bookend on years of effort to get the massive recreation area built.
The park will make Lake Forest a "destination for all of Orange County," Mayor Scott Voigts said.
Of the sports park property, 57 acres are slated for active use, such as sports competitions.
Robinson said local coaches are eager to get their teams on the new fields.
The $35.8 million contract includes the construction of a 27,000-square-foot recreation center, five baseball/softball diamonds, five soccer fields and two outdoor basketball courts.
City Manager Bob Dunek called the cost of the park "formidable," but emphasized that the money will come from fees paid by developers who partnered with the city for the Opportunities Study Area, a massive rezoning of commercial land under the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station flight path.
The city awarded the contract to Park West, a firm headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita.
"Congratulations, Lake Forest. We have a sports park coming," Voigts said after the unanimous vote, immediately preceding a round of audience applause.
Construction on the sports park is expected to begin in May and conclude in June 2014.
Under the contract, the city manager may approve additional work costing up to 5 percent of the contract amount, or about $1.8 million, without coming back to the City Council, according to a staff report.

Easter Candy Bites
This month's Master Baker theme is Easter candy. At first, it sounds like it might be easy to bake something with Easter candy, but I had a hard time coming up with something. I wanted to highlight one of my favorite Easter candies. I planned to use either Starburst Jelly Beans, Peeps, or Cadbury creme eggs. The creme eggs are my absolute favorites and I prefer the mini-eggs because they are bite size and less messy. The big eggs are also a lot of sugar to handle all at once.
Immediately I thought of putting a Cadbury egg in a cupcake. But since the eggs are so sweet, I thought it would be overkill. Instead, I came up with this idea. It was a trial and error effort. I found out that if you bake creme eggs, the inside gets hard. I wanted the creme filling to remain in it's gooey goodness state. I found a solution on the third try.
Cadbury Egg Bites – Adapted from Allrecipes.com – makes 18
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
15 unwrapped mini Cadbury creme eggs
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in the flour and mix thoroughly. The dough should be somewhat firm. Roll into 18 small balls (I used a cookie scoop), place them on a plate and refrigerate for one hour.
While dough is chilling, unwrap creme eggs and put into a bowl in the fridge.
Press the chilled dough balls into the bottom and up the sides of tart pans or mini muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. IMMEDIATELY upon removing from oven, push one mini-egg into each cup. Push them in as far as you can.
Allow to cook 5 minutes in the pan before removing to a cooling rack. These are best enjoyed the same day they are prepared.

Good job! Looks like we were on the same page for the most part. Great minds think alike. 🙂
Great job! They look great
cupcakes AND cadbury eggs? I have died and gone to heaven. Great job!
Great minds! That's exactly what came to mind for me too! They look amazing! I might make them anyway (although that means I have to figure something else out for the contest!) They sound AMAZING!
This is brilliant, who'd of thunk it!
They look amazing too, I'm making a dash for the nearest CVS to pick up a few eggs.
These look amazing!
Oh, you are my hero. I LOVE Cadbury eggs. This is a fantastic idea! Mmmmm…
mmmm cadbury eggs are my favorite!! funny how they harden when you bake them!
I find it very amusing that you had a "third try" 🙂
I too get determined and will proceed to make the same recipe over and over until I get it right. Sometimes I even dream about an imperfect recipe and can't wait till morning to give it another try 🙂
Perseverance pays off!
I can't wait to try these! You are a goddess in my book!

MIDDLETOWN -- Tri-Counties Bank in Middletown was robbed at approximately 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to scanner reports, a white man described as heavy set with a beard and wearing a black hoody, dark-framed glasses with clear lenses entered the bank and handed a teller a note and an envelope. No weapon was seen.
The man exited the bank after receiving some "large bills" and drove away in a gold sedan headed toward Highway 175.
Tri-Counties Bank is located at 21097 Calistoga Road in Middletown, across Highway 29 from Hardesters Market.
The robbery follows just eight days after a suspect with a similar description hit the Westamerica Branch in Middletown.
Information will be updated as it becomes available.

The northbound M5 between Junction 12 and Junction 11a at Stonehouse in Gloucestershire will be closed overnight tomorrow night while two 27 metre long bridge beams are removed.
A closure of the B4073 underneath the bridge between Corncroft Lane and Birchall Lane will also be needed to ensure the safety of road users.
The work, which is part of a comprehensive package of bridge safety improvements and maintenance to benefit road users on the M5 near Gloucester, will take place between 8pm and 6am.
Clearly signed diversions will be in place for both closures.
Road users travelling north on the M5 will be advised to leave the motorway at junction 12, then follow the A38 and join the A417 westbound at Barnwood roundabout, at the C&G roundabout road users should take the first exit signposted for the A417, then at Elmbridge Court roundabout take the fourth exit signposted A40 for Cheltenham and the M5, finally rejoining the M5 at junction 11.
Full details and regular updates on the works can be found on the dedicated M5 Gloucestershire Bridge Works Facebook page or call the Highways Agency Information Line on 0300 123 5000.
