Montgomery County Police have cited the driver of a Ride On bus involved in a crash Monday that included 11 other vehicles.
Police said the accident happened on Nicholson Lane at about 1:39 p.m.
The driver of the Montgomery County Transit Ride On bus has been cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision, Montgomery County Police Officer Rebecca Innocenti said on Tuesday.
The crash forced police to shut down both the westbound and eastbound lanes of Nicholson Lane for some time Monday.
Police now say that four people were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One pregnant woman drove herself to the hospital as well, Innocenti said.
Seven cars were towed from the scene, she said.
A commercial vehicle inspector is investigating the accident, Montgomery County Police Department spokeswoman Janelle Smith said.
Driver Dan Morrison was waiting at the intersection in his 2008 Mazda to turn left onto Rockville Pike, he said, when he heard loud crashing sounds behind him.
When he looked into his rearview mirror, he said, "I saw a bus just plowing through cars."
The bus ended up pushing other cars to the side, causing secondary crashes, Morrison said.
"I saw the car behind me pushed and get jolted forward. The next thing I knew, I got rammed into," he said.
Morrison said the back end of his Mazda was "crushed."
"The trunk basically doesn't exist anymore," he said.
"The scary part was that I kept getting pushed up the street, and by the time I stopped, I was in the middle of the intersection. I had both feet on the brakes... It was hard to make it stop," he said.

CONCORD, N.C. – Following up on the Pit Board June 20 regarding the newest requirements of the Parilla Leopard class in the Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series moving forward, WKA officials will be requiring similar information from competitors in the four classes that are required to run the same tires both competition days in a Man Cup racing weekend.
Starting with this weekend's MKP Nationals at Michiana Raceway Park in North Liberty, Indiana, competitors in the Yamaha Rookie Sportsman, Cadet, Komet Sportsman, and Yamaha Sportsman classes will be required to list the serial numbers on their tires on an entry sheet they will receive at registration. Once the sheet has been filled out, competitors in these four classes will be required to bring the sheet with them to the grid as they enter for time trials for their respective classes.
A select WKA Grid Steward will be on hand to collect the sheets, which will then be turned over to a WKA Tech Official. Drivers failing to submit their sheet upon entrance to the grid will be disallowed until paperwork has been submitted.
This process will replace the post qualifying ritual of branding tires for these classes. However, for competitors in other classes who wish to utilize the same tire both days, but are not required, the branding station will still be open.

Seriously, Venice is only about 18 miles from Sarasota and several locations are extremely close to Venice. I hope to talk the people I'm going with into checking out some of the locations and possibly drive by SK's home there to get a picture, unless of course it is a private housing edition. Ms. Mod, do you know if that is a possibility, getting a picture of his home there? Do you have any idea's of locations I could check out? I haven't read Duma Key since it first came out and don't remember much.

Obama meets 47% video guy
DECATUR, Ga. -- President Obama on Thursday met the man who made "47 percent" part of Mitt Romney's legacy.
Obama and opposition researcher James Carter, who released the infamous Romney fundraiser video, met backstage before Obama's education event here, Carter's cousin, Georgia state Sen. Jason Carter, told POLITICO.
Upon being introduced and told of James Carter's role in the 47 percent video, Obama jumped forward to embrace him.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Obama told James Carter, his cousin said.
Both Carters are grandsons of former President Jimmy Carter.

KENDALLVILLE — Even with a youth movement on the team, Columbia City's football squad has shown a great deal of achievement in a tournament this summer.
Playing seven-on-seven football, the Eagles advanced to the finals of a 16-team tournament at East Noble last week.
Columbia City lost in the finals of the tournament to New Haven.
Garrett was the first foe for the Eagles. Columbia City fell to the Railroaders, but won its next five games. The Eagles beat Churubusco, DeKalb, Concordian, Carroll and Woodlan.
Senior quarterback Travis Herbst was at the helm of the Eagle offense in the 7-on-7 drill, which is a passing game competition played without linemen.

Top scorers go missing in Orange's Final Four lossThe Associated Press | April 07,2013AP Photo
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim watches the action during Saturdays NCAA Final Four game against Michigan in Atlanta.ATLANTA Jim Boeheim sat on a stool most of the night, hand propped against his chin, looking more like a man proctoring a math exam than one coaching a basketball game.
Not much a coach can do when his best shooters cant find the basket.
The Syracuse coach had only two points less than his best player, Michael Carter-Williams, and only five fewer than his most dangerous shooter, James Southerland.
Two players who accounted for 25 points a game this season combined for three measly buckets Saturday night. That was easily the difference in a 61-56 semifinal loss to Michigan.
Our offense was not good in the first half or the second half, Boeheim said. Second half, we got our defense going a lot better, and got back in the game in spite of our offense.
But that offense wasnt much to talk about in either half, especially as far as two of the most important cogs were concerned.
So nice a job did Michigan do on Southerland that, trailing by three with 17.9 seconds to go, Boeheim couldnt draw up a play to get the ball to him. Instead, Trevor Cooney drove hard to the basket. He missed and Syracuse never got a chance at the tying shot.
We were trying to get James, they switched it and Trevor had no choice, Boeheim said. He did the best he could in that situation.
As for Carter-Williams, well, he wasnt even an option by that point. He fouled out with 1:14 left, giving a big tug on his jersey while walking to the bench after a 1-for-6 night that included two assists and five turnovers.
Youd love to have him out there, Boeheim said. You want to go to the basket in that situation, and make a play going there, but were not making a lot of shots, so were not going to try to throw something up.
Another Syracuse scorer, C.J. Fair, carried almost the entire load with 22 points, but with few other options, and without balls going in the basket, Syracuse wasnt able to set up its suffocating 2-3 zone as efficiently and frequently as it wanted.
That left Boeheim with very little to do other than watch the ugliness unfold.
Carter-Williams, a projected first-round NBA draft pick in a few months, made his only basket on a layup late in the first half.
Southerland, who tied a program record with nine 3-pointers in a game against Arkansas earlier this year, finished 2 for 9 and 1 for 5 from long range. All five of his points came over the last 1:58, including a 3-pointer that pulled Syracuse within a point with 47 seconds left.
He seemed like the perfect man to go to on Syracuses last possession, but never saw the ball, as Cooney, a freshman, drove wildly to the hoop and missed.
Syracuses first trip to the Final Four since its 2003 championship led by Carmelo Anthony ended with a very un-Melo-like thud.
Its hard to see it. Boeheim said. I told them, they should feel bad, because they could have won this game, but what theyve accomplished is, I think, incredible this year.
Instead of taking part in the ultimate send-off for the Big East Conference, which is reconfiguring after this season, the Orange goes home and its Michigan playing Louisville for the title Monday.
The Wolverines man-to-man defense much more damage to Syracuses offense than Syracuses zone did to theirs.
Syracuse (30-10) shot a respectable 41 percent, but Southerland and Carter-Williams only made 20 percent.
While most teams need defense to help produce offense, Syracuse is one of those rare teams that turns that equation on its head.
The Orange needs offense to produce defense. Without it, long rebounds turned into easy transition points for Michigan. While holding Trey Burke to seven points, Syracuse never found an answer for the Wolverines big man, Mitch McGary (12 points, 10 rebounds, six assists). Michigan made six 3-pointers in the first half. The Orange allowed 36 points over the first 20 minutes only three fewer than they gave up to Marquette in the regional final and fell behind by 11.
We just became more active in the second half, said Syracuse guard Brandon Triche, who mans the top of the Orange zone. For me, I was kind of stagnant in the first half, and probably got three or four 3-pointers hit on my side. In the second half, I tried to make sure that didnt happen.
Things did, indeed, get better over the second 20 minutes, but it was too big a hole to climb out of.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. Calvin Pace cant stand training camp.

Luke Rockhold wants Vitor Belfort, UFC vs. Strikeforce theme at UFC on FOX 7 | News
If the UFC wants to put together a champion-vs.-champion fight, final Strikeforce middleweight titleholder Luke Rockhold is down for a matchup with UFC champ Anderson Silva.
But if Rockhold gets his wish, April's UFC on FOX 7 event at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., could have a pretty interesting theme.
This past weekend, Belfort returned to the middleweight division and spoiled Michael Bisping's title shot with a vicious second-round knockout. But rather than campaign for a rematch with middleweight champ Silva, Belfort instead focused on light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who defeated him this past September."There aren't a lot of fights that make a lot of sense right now," he today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMA Radio, UFC Radio - MMAjunkie Radio). "Obviously (Chris) Weidman is injured, and he's out until summer or fall. But Vitor (Belfort) looked pretty good the other night. He turned back the clock and looked like his old self. He's a legend, and I'd be honored to fight the guy. I think that makes a lot of sense."
However, with Belfort (22-10 MMA, 11-6 UFC) unlikely to get his Jones rematch anytime soon, he needs a high-profile middleweight opponent. Enter Rockhold (10-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
The Californian said he's talked to UFC matchmaker Joe Silva about some possibilities in the division, but with recent losses from contenders such as Alan Belcher and Tim Boetsch and another desired opponent, Hector Lombard, scheduled to fight Yushin Okami in March it's slim pickings.
Rockhold, who said he's again training at 100 percent after his recovery from a recent wrist injury, will be ready to go by April. The month already has three UFC events scheduled, including UFC on FOX 7. That April 20 event already features two former Strikeforce fighters, including headliner Gilbert Melendez and noted heavyweight Daniel Cormier (who face UFC Benson Henderson and Frank Mir, respectively)."But now Belfort won, and he makes sense," Rockhold said. "Lombard could be down the line too. Who knows? I just want to fight. Truthfully, Belfort probably makes the most unless they want to do a champion vs. champion fight (with Silva). But I'm game for whatever they want."
So why not continue the theme, Rockhold asked?
So why does he feel he and the other Strikeforce fighters feel like they have something to prove?"I'd love to fight on that card," he said. "I'm from the Bay Area, and there's nothing I'd like more than to make my UFC debut in the Bay Area with all my fans. I'd bring all of Santa Cruz and a lot more. Trust me, we'd pack that place."
Still if an immediate title shot is in the cards, Rockhold's in."I mean, how could we not?" he said. "We've been dealing with it for quite a while now. There are a lot of nuthuggers out there UFC nuthuggers. I'd like to come in there and make a splash, and just like everyone else, let's represent the name. Personally, with this card and San Jose being the home of Strikeforce, this being a big FOX card, and we just shut down Strikeforce, let's just do an all-UFC-vs.-Strikeforce card.
"I think that makes a lot of sense and there could be a lot of hype behind that. Then we can really keep score."
"I really don't care," he said. "A warmup fight would be nice. I'm not going to lie. Anderson Silva, I'm not sure that would make the most sense right now. My name may not be as big as they want to sell a big pay-per-view like that. But if they want that fight, I'm down to take the fight. I'd take it, no questions asked."

Orange Bowl between the
Oklahoma Sooners and the
USC Trojans Tuesday night.
Simpson was the last artist to
appear in what
Ironically, Simpson chose not to use a background track (tipically used by artists in large-scale, live events). However, choosing to sing live didn't work out for Ashlee in the end. A very obvious chorus of boos could be heard throughout the Orange Bowl in Miami as the fireworks erupted, and Simpson's song came to an end Tuesday night.
Simpson's vocals were the talk of the town after her 'Milli-Vanilli' antics were exposed on Saturday Night Live in the Fall of 2004. Simson first blamed the incident on her band, only to later use acid reflux as the culprit.
That's the thing, he hasn't even been considered for many jobs. He was offered the Kentucky job last year, but can you blame him for not taking that one. They've got real problems there.Originally Posted by Chip R
He was interviewed for the Utah job 2 years ago when they hired Urban Meyer. He wasn't offered the job (and he is a Utah alum with major ties ot local recruiting). He considered for Arizona when Mike Stoops was hired. And now Walt Harris was chosen over him at Stanford. That one baffles me. There was talk at Pitt this year that Harris might bet fired until the team turned itself around this year.
With all the openings, I can't believe he was only considered for Stanford. I've read interviews with him an he seems to want to be a head coach.

He was also in the running at Arizona, but they hired Mike Stoops.
I hear it was very close, however.
I've also heard that he's a horrible interviewer. That was one of the things murmuring around when he was interviewing for the Stanford job. Very underwhelming, which would be quite the opposite of his offenses.
I've heard he same and also that he's a bad people person. Administrators and boosters don't like the guy.Originally Posted by jmcclain19

to defend Harris. They've been threatening to fire him for years. Something about a major tift with the adminstration about interviewing for another job just months after signing a new deal (Hello Bobby Petrino) and they never forgave him for that. He's also a bit aloof, professor type of guy. Pitt's a blue collar town. He never fit in. He'll do well at Stanford.
Remember when it was 7-0 Oklahoma?

Robert Lustig's 90-minute YouTube video Sugar: The Bitter Truth has been viewed more than two million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years.
In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control.
To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove "a calorie is NOT a calorie", and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide.
©2012 Robert H. Lustig (P)2012 Penguin Audio
"Well-written, well-read, solid content"
I have heard Lustig interviewed before on Jimmy Moore's low-carb podcast and by Alec Baldwin. I find him to be very credible. I found the writing style very informative and engaging, and I thought JT Ross was a very good narrator...striking just the right tone for the book overall...however, his mispronunciation of the word "satiety" (just Google it for the correct pronunciation) was pretty distracting, as the word occurs often. Of course, we all bring our preconceptions to a book when we read it, and I was really hoping for more practical advice on "what to eat" than I ended up with. Yes, the essential information is there...but it would have been much more helpful to me personally if there had been a section along the lines of "here are sample menus which would be supported by Lustig's presentation of science". It might be that it came across better in reading the book visually...but I didn't pick up much of that here. I think people writing for this subject often don't realize that many of us just "don't speak the language of food" and really need someone to "paint a picture" for us. I must say I did feel like he really did a tremendous job of busting stereotypes and explaining both why we are where we are with the obesity epidemic and how best to proceed as a society. I liked the way he went thru all the popular diets and explained both their strengths and weaknesses. So I found the book quite enjoyable overall and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people who are looking to get their bearings on the myriad of varying opinions about diet and exercise.
"Changed the Way I Eat"
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about nutrition, how the body processes food/nutrients/sugars, and is looking for more education as a whole on the subject. I will say the beginning was a bit slow and some parts got very technical for a listener who has no background on anatomy/ body break down structures. I listened to those sections twice to try to understand the material. Once I made it past those rough patches though, I flew through the book. This book changed the way I look at and eat sugar and processed foods. I am so conscious of it all in the grocery store now, so it has changed the way I shop as well. Would definitely recommend.
"Important...Mandatory...and Exhausting."
Dr. Lustig is the champion of the "sugar is poison" subject. His scientific message about the infiltration of sugar and processed food throughout the world and the growing list of harmful health effects should be mandatory reading for everyone...simply so one can make better choices.
The first half of the book Dr. Lustig uses a wry, fresh sense of humor to keep us engaged but somewhere around half-way the sense of humor (and connection) goes away and the science and soapbox take over. This is an important work but it must be said that it is also his first book and a book is not a short form speech. I am surprised his editor did not guide him to a more balanced effort.
Following his substantial scientific evidence, Dr. Lustig does offer examinations of nearly every recent diet plan to have come along in the last few decades...and even early man. He offers a host of solutions ranging from medical, political, economic, education and business to common sense. However, the message becomes its own burden...a weight of its own that does not empower or really inspire...
I do recommend the book!!! I learned a great deal and have already had a lot of exposure to the subject. In an ironic twist though the title of the book says it all..."Fat Chance"...which to me means that we will not or cannot succeed in overcoming the acceptance of the harmful aspects of sugar and processed food into our world....and that was the cumulative feeling I had when finishing the book.
"The Case Against Modern Diet.... Closed"
Exhaustive, Comprehensive, Conclusive
Mindsight by Daniel Siegel. Siegel, and especially, Lustig, have trolled vast amounts of modern research data and assembled the myriad pieces into articulate and persuasive arguments for their respective causes: mindfulness in Siegel's case and a diet based on evolutionary principles in Lustig's. Each of these authors provide modern empirical support for wisdom that has been known for millenia.
One sugary beverage a day, whether fruit juice or a pop, equals 10-12 pounds of weight gain per year. Six month old infants are being seen at obesity clinics due to the sugar added added to baby formula.
Yes and I nearly did.
Lustig presents a comprehensive analysis of the problem of modern diet, including the contributions of government and industry.
Avid reader!
"Fascinating Information, helped me lose 10 pounds."
Excelent book!!!
Provides a better understand of food and sugar's impact on the body. Anyone having difficulty losing weight, or having health issues should read this book.
Most important issue of our generation!!!
"Very Informative"
Great detail about this problem and ways that many people can find some understanding about this problem.
"A must read for anyone interested in obesity"
I didn't read the print version, but the audio edition was great. It was paced well, and captured the humorous portions of the book well.
Fat Chance was great. I can't highly recommend it enough. I will say I noticed at least two mistakes. Wellbutrin isn't an SSRI and dextrin is not a sugar. It is a soluble fiber. I actually really found the political discussions intriguing. I've read another review about it stuffing liberal biases in, but I didn't really see that.
"Awesome book!"
This book is definitely worth getting, because it puts it all together for you in one easy package regarding our health and what's needed for us to make a change. It's technical at times though, but it has all the pieces to make it a well-rounded piece of literature for us to consume, besides sugar, making great food for thought. It's definitely needed and will hopefully inspire us to do something to better our future, since we are the ones in control of it always anyway, if we actually decide step up 100%. I hope everyone reads it so we can move forward with our health, stop living in a fairytale and help save our loved-ones from a horrible fate of chronic disease and suffering in a way we best know how.
"Informative and Excellent"
The information presented in this book was concise and laid out well. The information was not altogether new but presented in such a way that the reader will not help but look at their own diet and sugar intake in quite the same way. The book has a lot of focus on children, which is good, but also has a great deal of good information for adults as well.
"Listen to the first half, then stop"
I love this book; I hate this book.
I love the "sugar is bad for you metabolically" story, how the conventional wisdom of a-calorie-is-a-calorie is bunk, how Ancel Keys and the lipid hypothesis is bunk, how hormones matter in understanding why we are where we are. As an expert in the field, Lustig's viewpoint gives us valid information upon how to get control over our bodies, and to shape future research. I think he's right, but I'm sure further research will illuminate how the body works. After all, Leptin wasn't even discovered until 1994, not even 20 years ago. I wish he'd look deeper in to the anti-nutrients present in all grain, but nonetheless, the fructose story is compelling.
But then Lustig the doctor becomes Lustig the amateur Economist/public policy wizard, but his lack of expertise won't stop him from how to diagnose and fix the problem through intervention. The Hippocratic oath statement of "never do harm" to anyone doesn't apply to Lustig's viewpoint of hold government guns, restrict people's choices, and rearrange all economic forces to fix a health problem. 1) Does this intervention "cause harm"? How would Lustig know? 2) Would it be effective?
Lustig is way out of his expertise realm here, but no matter; he's writing a prescription. Force the people who don't agree with me to do it my way, because sugar is addictive, and therefore, people aren't really choosing. The philosophical issue of "who owns your body" doesn't matter; Lustig needs to control your body to save the world from Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome. Because some people are addicted, and because the food industry manipulates you into making unhealthy choices. The current government regulatory scheme has been co-opted by the food industry, Lustig recounts, and so his prescription is -- more government action!
Perhaps Lustig could spend more time reading the works of experts on Regulatory Capture, in which the assertion is made that the mere existence of government regulation will always result in capture and dominance by the major players, with small players forced out. Lustig sees the food industry pulling the strings of the FDA (but he fails to talk about big pharma doing so, perhaps too close to challenging his own profession), and how politics runs our agricultural policy and shapes the food pyramid, as dominated by the biggest Agricultural interests. He talks about how the McGovern led commission on Nutrition and Human Needs manipulated us into believing Ancel Keys, and how we were completely duped. Instead of removing these harmful toxins from our lives, he asks for more. Who writes the regulations? Either current or former "experts" from the regulated industry. Lustig diagnoses the financial crisis in a one-sentence assertion, but didn't say the "prescription" to fix it, Dodd-Frank, was written by members of the industry.
Special interests are in control, so, what we need is the *right* special interests, different special interests, those influenced by Lustig, not those influenced by Keys. Does he have research to back this assertion? If he does, he doesn't show it. Oh, he cherry-picks some questionable anecdotes in order to get us to believe his model works. His choices are alcohol and tobacco, government intervention works here. It does? Here, Lustig appeals to our emotions, as politicians do. It's a way to get your cortisol working, so your Amygdala overwhelms the neocortex. It's how politics works. It's hormonal manipulation, and it's very addictive. In the economic realm, if I manipulate you, you may make choices you regret, but I have to repeat that for each and every choice. In the political realm, if I can manipulate 51% of those who vote to take away the choices of the 49%, then my guy gets to keep taking away the choices from the minority. One manipulation, many lasting effects, all enforced with government guns. Disobey, and go to jail. So more jail equals less obesity. Regulation *is* sugar; we need to lower it in our diets, but like Ancel Keys, we're off chasing the symptoms of special interests floating around the capital like small dense LDL. How they got here, says Lustig, is greed (a newly discovered substance) and Lustig prescribes a pill to drive them away.
Lustig is addicted to political power, he sees its ill effects, but he cannot help himself, he wants more. He doesn't understand the complex inter-workings of billions of people making simultaneous decisions, but no matter, if he can use the drug on you, and mobilize you to action, you and he can control the rest of people and make the world a better place. How many people have tried this? Has it worked? Did it "do no harm"? By Lustig's own examples in just the US context, it has failed. But as an economic quack, Lustig repeats the safe conventional wisdom, which is to clamp down, through force, on those who disagree. Writing more prescriptions for interventions, except we don't examine the patients, only the macro population, and then, completely misinterpret the data to suit our story.
So listen to the first half that challenges conventional wisdom with a provocative new viewpoint, and throw away the half that says conventional wisdom, bigger government, solves the problem.

BW Trustees Approve Name Change
Baldwin-Wallace College will become Baldwin Wallace University in a move Trustees say is aimed at more accurately reflecting its current structure and the breadth of the institution's academic program offerings. The Trustees voted at their winter meeting to adopt the name change, effective on July 1 of this year with complete implementation by the end of 2012.
Last fall, B-W President Richard Durst established a special task force to review the advisability of changing the institution's name. The ten-member group, chaired by William Spiker, vice president for advancement, recommended the adoption of "university" following five months of study and constituent surveys that included input from students, alumni, faculty and staff, with each group favoring the change.
Since the U.S. News & World Report survey of "America's Best Colleges" was established nearly two decades ago, Baldwin-Wallace has been listed among the top Masters Universities - Midwest. B-W was considered a university because of the breadth of its academic program and number of graduate degrees awarded each year. In fact, according to criteria set by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the 200-plus graduate degrees B-W awards in the 13 program offerings in business and education qualifies it as a large-size graduate program.
B-W currently offers more than 60 major areas of study in seven academic divisions, many of which are in pre-professional areas. Of the ten undergraduate and graduate programs added in recent years and several others in the approval process, most are viewed as university offerings.
"Members of the Task Force - and ultimately the Board of Trustees - concluded that the change to university designation more completely conveys who we are today as well as the institution that is emerging for tomorrow," said B-W President Durst. "What will not change is our dedication to the liberal arts as the foundation for a lifetime of learning and our core values. The B-W focus on student learning and personal growth, individual attention and exceptional achievement will be unwavering."
It will not be the first time the Berea campus has worn the "university" name. B-W was founded in 1845 as Baldwin Institute and re-chartered ten years later as Baldwin University. In 1913 Baldwin University merged with neighboring German Wallace College to become Baldwin-Wallace College.
In addition to the new university designation, B-W will drop the hyphen in its name in a nod to the importance of search engine optimization through third party search engines.
Today Baldwin-Wallace has more than 4,100 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs on its 125-acre campus in Berea, online and at B-W East in Beachwood. B-W is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Individual programs also are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the Commission of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), and the United Methodist Church Board of Accreditation.

Okay all, I need you to think of me this Sunday and send me good thoughts! Because while you all are enjoying Mother's Day I will be SLAMMED at work. Mother's Day, typically, is the busiest day of the year at our restaurant. And I have a bad feeling. Eep!
Secondly, today is our eldest furbaby's birthday! To Metro turns 5! It's hard to believe we've had him for so long; we got him as a little kitten from a Humane Society event and its hard for me to believe we've had him for almost half a decade. Happy birthday Menny cat!
2. I'm excited because Ang let me know that she got our tickets for 6 Flags for September! I know it's an entire season away but I can be excited anyway.
3. My preferred method for blowing off steam when I'm frustrated is to cry. A lot. I am an UGLY cryer but it gets the frustration out!
4. Currently I am craving lots of sweet stuff. I could totally go for a slice of apple pie right now.
5. The thing I love most about my mom is how easy she is to talk to. I'm amazed at our relationship now because it never used to be this way. I guess that comes from me growing up.
6. If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be Rollercoaster.
7. If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be pizza! Or tacos! One or the other but I love them both!
Happy Friday all!
P.S. I'll be announcing the NuMe Giveaway winner later today!

Oakland & Tassajara July 21, 2012 – April 20, 2013NOTE: This program is now full.
This page provides the basic information about the Tassajara Zen Joinery Apprenticeship program which will take place in Oakland, CA, for eight months and conclude with installation of the new gate at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center over a period of two weeks. Before applying, please read the information on this page thoroughly.
To be considered for this program, you must complete and submit the Zen Joinery Apprenticeship Application, available online at the link below:
The closing date for applications is July 1, 2012, or when the program becomes full. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have about the program (see below).
The Zen Joinery Apprenticeship program (ZJA) offers the opportunity to train in the art of Japanese joinery with master craftsman Paul Discoe.
We invite you to join us in rebuilding the main entry gate to Tassajara, the first Zen monastery outside of Asia. A new gate will be designed and built in Oakland, CA, over nine months by a small group of apprentices working in the traditional manner under the tutorship of Paul Discoe. Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center, ordained Paul Discoe as a Zen priest and sent him to Japan to study Japanese carpentry in the 1960s. This is a unique opportunity to study in-depth with master craftsman and Zen priest Paul Discoe on a project to rebuild the front gate at Tassajara, his spiritual home.
The program, every other Saturday in Oakland, will offer invaluable hands-on training to those interested in learning all aspects of traditional Japanese joinery. The final assembly of the gate will take place at Tassajara, east of Big Sur, CA, during a two-week intensive work period.
The program will teach students the philosophies and methods of Japanese joinery under the tutorship of Paul Discoe. It is a project-based class that will collectively build the new main entry gate for Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.
Paul Discoe is a formally trained widely recognized master of Japanese joinery as well as being an ordained Zen Buddhist priest in the Soto Zen lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi.
He studied art history and philosophy as an undergraduate in the United States and Buddhist temple design and construction in Japan. He became a student of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in California, and, after four years, Suzuki sent him to Japan to train under a traditional master builder for five years. Upon his return, he founded Joinery Structures in 1988. His projects include the Kojin-an Zen Temple in Oakland for Akiba Sensei, the founders hall and kitchen at Tassajara, the Lindesfarne guesthouse and Wheelwright Center, and the abbot's house at Green Gulch, as well as several prestigious homes and projects internationally. His current project is a system of prefabricated building parts, made of salvaged and recycled materials, that can be assembled in many forms.
The training will take place in Oakland in the form of a full Saturday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, every other week from the end of July 2012 to late March 2013. The final assembly of the Gate will take place at Tassajara during a two-week intensive work period from April 6 to April 20, 2013.
In order to be considered for the apprenticeship program applicants will need to commit to the full program including one week of the construction work period in April 2013.
The cost of the Zen Joinery Apprenticeship program is $1,400.
This includes:
The cost does not include:

My husband and I are first time home buyers and Stephanie made our house buying experience a pleasure. Stephanie was very attentive to our every need. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and no question was left unanswered. I was very impressed by her knowledge of the market and houses in general. I felt very safe and secure with her handling the finalization of our contract. We will always use Stephanie for any and all of our real estate needs.

Team reviews
Stephanie is a top-notch realtor. I am sort of a professional home buyer. I have purchased 8 homes in the past 10 years and I have dealt with no realtor, very good and very bad realtors. This is the second time in a row we have used here services and I will for sure use her again for any home buying or selling that we might do.
I found Stephanie to be very knowledgeable in her field of Real Estate. She personalized my listing, making it very inviting to a buyer. She did extra marketing techniques, like making and leaving a booklet all about my home with pictures, for potential buyers, free for them to take with them and have as a reference. She was quick to respond back to me with answers to all my questions. She followed up with all the agents that showed my home, in a very timely manner, to get feedback. She was a great advisor to me, when I did get my contract on my house, and handled it very professional. I recommend to anyone who wants to sell or buy a home, to use her for your agent.....I will if and when I buy another home!
Stephanie was very professional in all areas. She keep her word and promises made to us. She keep us well informed about each showing. She was always positive and upbeat even though the real estate market is not at its best. We would gladly recommend her to others, and as a matter of fact already have. Doug and Carol Morales
Stephanie was very knowledgeable on how to best list and market our home. The house sold in 12 days. She walked us through all the negotiations and helped secure the proper repairman to fix a problem. Her knowledge of all aspects of selling/buying a house are a great asset. The best thing is that Stephanie was there for any and all problems that came up... she knew the best way to deal with them.
Enough cannot be said about Stephanie's ethics and honesty.. this is what impressed me the most.
Thank you Stephanie!!!
My wife and I just bought our first home thanks to this outstanding Realtor. She goes above and beyond every aspect of her job. You simply can't ask for someone better to walk you through every step of the process and help ensure you have covered every requirement of the buying process. She has certainly earned our respect unlike others I have met. I will simply say that if you are looking to buy a home, don't wast your time with any other realtor. Thanks Stephanie!
Stephanie showed exceptional professionalism throughout the process of selling our home. She answered all of our calls promptly and kept us informed of market trends in the area as well as web site activity showing interest in the property. She always had a positive attitude and was very encouraging.
From the beginning Stephanie worked with us to make sure our home was ready to show and that we were comfortable with a price. We were impressed at the facts about our home and community she compiled at our first meeting in preparation for placing our home on the market again. In addition to creating booklets to share with potential buyers, the websites she used were easily accessed and the description of the property and the community was thorough and informative. The pictures were great and the virtual tour was very impressive and showed our home exactly as it was. Her presentation was so good that we honestly had second thoughts about selling our home!
We would highly recommend Stephanie Wilson to anyone selling or buying a home.
Stephanie is an A+ realtor! She communicates very well and has your best interest at heart. I was very impressed with Stephanie's communication wtih us throughout the process. She always called you when she said she would and if you left a voicemail you'd hear from her before the day was over. She was constantly asking questions about what we wanted in our new home and knew so much she could've picked one out for us! Stephanie is very passionate about selling homes and finding that 'dream' home for you. She sold our home within 2 months when it had been on the market for 3 years with another realtor. She works her tail off and always has a smiling face! I would recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to buy or sell. She truely is a wonderful person!
Stephanie and her team were an enormous help to us every step of our home buying process. They made all the necessary calls and moves needed to get us into a home as quickly and efficiently as possible. There was no question they could not answer, no deadline they could not meet, and always made sure we understood what was going on. Being first time home buyers, that was very important to us. They showed us 19 houses over the span of a couple months and never tried to pressure us or push us into a hasty decision. There is no way we could have gotten thru this process without Stephanie and her team. We are so very grateful for all that they have done for us. If anyone needs a realtor, she is the one you need!
Stephanie is an amazing real estate professional! She has the ability to make your dream home a reality. She helped me purchase my first home when I was unsure about all the details of purchasing a home. She always returned phone calls and walked me through step by step. It was her diligence, wisdom, encouragement and inspiration that opened my eyes to see that I could do this. Without her I would have given up or paid more than I should have. She was able to provide me with options for loan officers, home inspectors and all the professionals that are needed in purchasing a home. From the first phone call to the final hug goodbye Stephanie gave her all in helping my dreams come true. Thank you Stephanie! I would most definitely recommend you to all my friends and family.

Willard Clark "Mike" Freeman, who conditioned one of the greatest racemares of all time, died Wednesday at age 84 at Wesley Springs Nursing Home in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The horseman was also president of the Aiken Training Track for a number of years.
The Thoroughbred trainer was born in Providence, R.I., on Feb. 23, 1929, and was exposed to horses at an early age. The horseman was a steeplechase rider before becoming a Thoroughbred trainer.
Early part of his career
Freeman's impact in the community was far reaching, and he touched many lives during his time in Aiken.
"It's very sad to lose another outstanding trainer from the classic era of Thoroughbred racing," said Lisa Hall, Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum programs supervisor. "The successes of the outstanding horses he trained will ensure that he will always have an important place in the history of Thoroughbred racing. He was a great friend to the Aiken Racing Hall of Fame, and he will be sorely missed."
The horseman also conditioned Hostage, winner of the 1982 Grade 1 Arkansas Derby; Hodges Bay, the winner of the 1989 Rothmans International and Seneca Handicap and Buckhar, the winner of the Grade 1 Washington D.C. International in 1993.

How's that? All of our bags come with a Dog Tag that's attached using a wire cable. Simply unscrew the wire cable at the knurled thumbscrew, slip the cable through the base holes on the closed zipper tabs on your bag, screw it back together and voila, a deceptively simple lock that looks permanent (see additional image in Photos & Videos in menu at left). Any single zipper pockets can also be secured with the cable by pulling it through the nylon pull tab (loop) located on the bag at each end of the zipper and through the hole in the base of the zipper tab.
In fact, many of our customers use a wire cutter to remove the tags, when all you have to do is unscrew it. Now understand, a determined thief can put their fingers a little way into your bag despite the Cable Lock, but the idea is to slow them or fluster them such that the lock will deter them.
If checking your bag, the cables keep it from accidentally zipping open. And for a dollar, that's low cost piece of mind. The 1 mil diameter twisted stainless steel cable has a tensile strength of 36 lbs. Cable Lock is 6" long with knurled thumbscrew.
Made for Red Oxx by BallChain Corporation.
Lifetime Warranty.
Said satisfied customer Charles, "This accessory came with my Sky Train a couple of years ago. I have bought "look-alikes" but none has lasted as long as the original Red Oxx did, still using it today!"
Buy two or more Cable Locks, you'll always find a use for more than one!
UPS Transit Shipping Time Map.
As time rolls a ceaseless course, only the genuine guarantee remains. The mountains will persist, the oceans are bound to endure and Red Oxx will continue to be rugged, reliable, and tough.
To the depths of the Amazon basin to the peaks of the Himilayas, Red Oxx Manufacturing is infallible.
Red Oxx Bags are guaranteed forever, be sure to include them in your will.

Santorini is one of the most intriguing of the Greek islands, seemingly formed in a crescent-shape, curving around the deep blue waters. Santorini was, in fact, a far more regular island shape, before a volcanic eruption in 1450BC caused the island's centre to collapse into the sea! The crater that this eruption left can be seen poking its head just above the surface of the Aegean, giving the illusion of another smaller island enclosed by Santorini's dramatic cliffs.
This tiny island isn't the place to head for all-night parties and garish tourist attractions. Instead, it offers a taste of authentic island life, with whitewashed houses stacked up the hillsides, dome-topped churches and winding cobbled streets. Thira, the island's capital, is a popular place to stay, and as picture-perfect as Greek island resorts come. If you're feeling energetic, you can hike from Thira to another popular island spot, Oia, and be treated to breathtaking views across to the crater on your way.
Time spent in Thira will mean discovering the ancient archaeological site of Akrotiri, a town that was buried by volcanic ash and which was only re-discovered 50 years ago. With just a tiny percentage of the town's ruins excavated, the potential for future discoveries of important artefacts is huge!
Over in Oia the journey back in time continues, with Byzantine castle ruins to explore. The Mnemossyne Artists House is also well worth a visit for those with an interest in fine art, photography and antique jewellery.
While Santorini isn't renowned for soft golden sands, beach lovers won't be disappointed with the dark, volcanic stretches of coastline. Kamari Beach is one of the most popular with holidaymakers, with plenty of sunloungers and beach umbrellas for you to make your own. You'll also find the site of 11th century ancient ruins as well as, for light relief, the Escape Land entertainment complex and the fantastic open air cinema.
The beaches of Akrotiri, including White Beach and Red Beach, are also key attractions on the island, and this area is the perfect place to indulge in a little coastal exploration.
Forget all night parties and raucous 'bar streets'. Holidays to Santorini offer a slice of the quieter Greek island lifestyle, where picture-postcard sugar cube houses line the hillsides and a wealth of ancient sites await discovery.
Book your flights to Santorini with Thomascook Airlines for a relaxing break crammed with culture and stunning coastlines that won't break the bank.
