Focus Excel is the best!
By Pamala M. (NY) ★★★★★
Focus Excel is the best. I don't need to take the serving size - one pill lasts me the whole day. I look forward to being able to have my son use it as he gets older. I think it would be good for him to use in school.
Worth every saved penny!
By Bethany B. (CA) ★★★★★
Synaptol and Focus Excel are amazing individually, and even better together! My husband was recently diagnosed with severe adult ADHD. His condition got so bad he continually voiced that he felt like he couldn't function. He then started having trouble doing basic, everday things. Not wanting to take drugs every day with nasty side effects, we began looking into alternative solutions. I found Synaptol effortlessly through Google, and although I loved the testimonies I was still hesitant. Lacking hope and choices, I purchased 3 bottles of Synaptol and 1 bottle of Focus Excel. Although it has proved to be a somewhat expensive endeavor, these products have proven themselves to be worth every saved penny! Within one day of taking both products my husband could function, focus, and be successful at his job and at home! These products are a God-send. I since then have made sure we have a year supply on hand!
Excellent product and excellent customer service.
By Michael R. (IL) ★★★★★
Excellent product and excellent customer service. Thank you!
Focus Excel is great!
By Dovie S. (Washington) ★★★★★
Hello, Synaptol is performing wonderfully and the Focus Excel is great. I must apologize for saying that the Synaptol didn't work - obviously, I had not given the supplements enough time to work. My grandson is taking his Synaptol daily. He says that he gets sleepy after about four hours, but I'm sure he and his parents will work out an energy booster for him to curb the slump. I will order more when I financially able. Thank you!
Very fast and efficient service!

Magneti Marelli Announces 800 New Jobs With Expansion in Pulaski, Tenn.
June 14, 2012 – Magneti Marelli, a top global automotive systems and components supplier, has announced it will set up a new automotive lighting operation at the company's existing facility in Pulaski, Tenn. Creation of the lighting operation represents a $53.7 million investment by Magneti Marelli and will create 800 new jobs in Giles County.
In announcing the new development, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty said it showed the competitive advantage Tennessee holds in the automotive sector. "Tennessee stands out to global companies like Magneti Marelli who undertake a worldwide review in determining where to locate and expand their operation," Hagerty said.
"Today's announcement is good news for Giles County, but this project is going to have a very positive impact throughout all of southern middle Tennessee," Dan Speer, executive director, Pulaski-Giles County Economic Development Council, said. "A great deal of hard work and cooperation went in to this project, and I would like to thank Gov. Haslam, Commissioner Hagerty, along with the entire Community Development staff, TVA and the local Workforce Development Board."
Magneti Marelli is a world leader in automotive lighting. The new Pulaski operation joins two existing plants in Mexico in Magneti Marelli's lighting division, which supplied about 20 million headlamps and about 22 million rear lamps to global carmakers in 2011.
"TVA congratulates Magneti Marelli on their decision to locate a new automotive lighting manufacturing operation that expands its existing site in Pulaski," said John Bradley, TVA senior vice president of Economic Development. "We are privileged to work with Magneti Marelli and economic development partners, including the state of Tennessee, Pulaski Electric System, and city of Pulaski and Giles County leaders, to facilitate jobs growth."
Based in Italy, Magneti Marelli has 83 production units and 34,000 employees in 18 countries. The company produces electronic systems; lighting; power trains; suspension systems and shock absorbers; exhaust systems; plastic components and modules; and motorsport and aftermarket parts for the worldwide market.

July 23, 2014 9:08 AM
After former Bucs and Colts head coach Tony Dungy was quoted as saying he wouldn't have drafted Michael Sam if he had the chance, the response on social media was swift and divided.
Yesterday, Dungy publicly clarified his comments, saying that he felt that Sam deserves a shot to make it in the NFL regardless of his sexual orientation. Do you think Dungy's response was sincere? Do you think he was clear in his response?

Adjournment Debate - Accident and Emergency Services
Wednesday, 12 May 2010
Dáil Éireann Debate
Deputy Fergus O'Dowd: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for permission to raise this important matter. I hope the Minister of State has good news because the Government has spent more than €11.5 million on a state-of-the-art accident and emergency unit in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, which has lain idle since the end of last year. It is, therefore, in its fifth month without use. In the meantime, every week dozens of patients lie on trolleys in the hospital. Patients, staff and the good name of the hospital are suffering as a result. The hospital has received bad publicity in the past but the medical staff want this facility to work. The people need the unit, which should have been built five years ago. It is well behind schedule and we want to look forward to its opening.
A total of 34 additional staff are needed for the new unit but I understand this is an issue. The taxpayer has made a commitment to a state-of-the-art facility in the north east and it is imperative that the Government recruits the necessary staff. The HSE has not made a decision to prevent the unit opening. It is prepared to hire the staff but the issue is whether the Minister will give consent in order that specialist nursing and care staff can be appointed.
This week the Drogheda Independent described the appalling conditions in which people must work and in which patients must stay. A 91-year old lady suffering from Alzheimer's disease spent more than 28 hours on a trolley while a 70-year old woman spent more than 32 hours on a trolley in recent months. It is not good enough. When will the unit open? Why has consent not been given to recruit staff? The people of the north east need this facility. The Government has closed services in Dundalk and Monaghan, which people have not accepted, and there is significant pressure on the Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, which is chock-a-block day and night. Sick people need the new unit and medical staff, who have waited patiently for many years for this facility are becoming increasingly angry that they have to look at a ghost department. State-of-the-art beds and equipment are covered in plastic and cannot be used. Doctors and nurses with tremendous skills need this equipment and they need to provide a service to save lives. Patient care is suffering as a result. I hope the Minister of State has good news.
Deputy John Moloney: I apologise on behalf of my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children, who could not be present. I thank the Deputy for raising this matter.
The transformation programme for the north east involves widespread and fundamental change. It is designed to build a health system that is in line with the model of care emerging [838]internationally. This can be achieved by centralising acute and complex care in order that clinical skill levels are safeguarded by ensuring access to a sufficient throughput of cases. The need to reconfigure health services in the north east was highlighted, along with identified patient safety and quality of care issues, in the 2006 teamwork report to the HSE: Improving Safety and Achieving Better Standards — An Action Plan for Health Services in theNorth East. This report demonstrated that the service configuration in the region was unsustainable.
This report demonstrated that the service configuration in the region was unsustainable.
The first step in transforming services in the north east is to develop a fully integrated regional health service to ensure that people in the north east have local access to both routine planned care and immediate life saving emergency care. The HSE began this process with the transfer of acute inpatient services from Monaghan Hospital to Cavan General Hospital on 22 July 2009, which was supported by the opening of the medical assessment unit, MAU, in Cavan General Hospital in March 2009, the development and implementation of an enhanced ambulance and pre-hospital thrombolysis service, together with enhanced primary care services.
The immediate focus is now on service reconfiguration in the Louth and Meath area, which involves transferring acute services to Drogheda, strengthening existing medical services, enhancing emergency department capacity, developing appropriate ambulance protocols, completing surgical reconfiguration and providing additional community packages of care. The new emergency department at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Drogheda will provide an improved service to both patients and staff within the Dublin north east region. This new department, which encompasses best design principles, is approximately 1,300 sq. m in size, and represents a 300% increase in size from the existing department in use today. The increased size of the department and the specific entrance points will allow patients access the department in a more timely manner by segregating patients at first point of contact with a separate entrance for ambulance and stretcher-borne trauma and another separate entrance for the walking wounded, as it were.
Once the department opens, all paediatric patients presenting to it will be assessed and treated in a designated paediatric area. Adult patients will be allocated to one of three distinct assessment and treatment areas; the minor injuries department, the major treatment department and the resuscitation area. Patients will have more immediate access to diagnostics with an on-site emergency department, dedicated X-ray facility and staff. Patients will benefit from more immediate treatment, enhanced outcomes and a more patient-focused environment. Staff will benefit as the new infrastructure and design of the department will facilitate easier access to patients and ultimately earlier admission or discharge.
The increase in size of the emergency department means that staffing levels must be examined. That is the nub of the issue. Under the 2010 employment control framework the filling of posts is in the first instance to be by redeployment from within current services. Once redeployment options have been explored, external recruitment may then proceed in line with this framework. The HSE is committed to opening the new emergency department at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda at the earliest possible date. Negotiations are in progress between the HSE and unions in order to agree a mechanism to redeploy staff at all grades and in some instances to consider outsourcing or contracting. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to reach agreement on these matters to date but the HSE will continue to try to achieve an agreement as quickly as possible in order to open the facility.

CANAAN - By late winter, residents in the Canaan area, one of the most rural areas of the state, will have a medical clinic in their community.
Indian Stream Health Center in Colebrook, NH, plans to open a satellite medical office at Canaan's Northeast Kingdom Community Action (NEKCA) building as soon as March 2014. Indian Stream Health Center obtained a federal grant of $456,793 from Sen. Bernie Sanders to open the clinic.
"This is great," said Joe Patrissi, NEKCA executive director of the partnership between the two entities. "It means low-income people will have access to health care."
ALBANY – It is against Vermont state law to cut more than 40 acres of trees without receiving approval from the state, and it is also against Vermont law to disrupt water flow or allow debris to enter steams within the state without a permit. The state has been working with an Orleans man for years over issues with his logging practices in Albany. Finally the state has a preliminary injunction to help force the man to comply with the laws.
NEWPORT CITY - A 2011 youth risk behavior study showed Vermont has one of the highest rates for underage drinking in the country, and Orleans County ranks one of the highest counties in the state.

Speedster Jennifer Pharr Davis is on Day 37 of her supported Appalachian Trail speed record of 47 days, last set by Andrew Thompson in '05. Here is a piece in the NYT on her story: Speed Hiker Thrives on Natural Rhythms of the Appalachian Trail
Been following her progress a little on another site. Looks like w/o an injury she will make it a few hours ahead of the current record holder. Ryan
Sweet, thanks for the link Eugene, I'll be following this.
Crimminy, my knees ache just reading this article. If you have ever tried to backpack a long distance in a single day either out of necessity or (as some do here) for "fun", well, I think you could identify with the effort necessary to accomplish such a feat.Honestly, could I do 48 miles in a day? I've done 35 in the Sierra, so I would think yes, there might be one day in me when I could do 48 given the right preparation and terrain (assuming 16 hours of walking). Could I do two back-to-back. Heck, no.That's what makes these things so impressive. It's not the daily miles as much as it is the repetitious nature of those miles.Thanks for posting this!Dirk
Absolutely Dirk,Consecutive hard efforts like that must be unreal, the few individuals who get up and repeat marathon distance and beyond hiking over a stretch of weeks and months are dedicated and inspiring folk. I really hope she clears the record, doing so will only inspire someone else to challenge it later on and push the envelope of body and mind.

Crochet is crafting for the soul
I'm getting into making jewelry and trying new things with it. Right now I'm working on hemp (wow, this is so much easier than macrame)! It's very simple, and gives a cool jagged effect!
The orange one is done in nylon cording.
Size D/3-3.25mm hook
1 row (4dc2chdc)=1"
This can be adjusted to any length depending on the size. I am using silver beads, of course they are optional.
Remember to string your beads before you begin!-- add more beads if you want this longer, I recommend having too many, rather than too few.
Also, if using hemp, remember to block it after it is done, I find warm water works the best to get your hemp to cooperate.
R2: 3dc in ch2, ch2*, dc, ch 3, turn
*slide a bead up as you do your 1st of the ch2 to get it in there nice and snug, then ch1
Repeat row 2, you will begin to see a zig-zag pattern as you move. continue to add rows until it is as long as you want it, fasten off and weave in ends.
Attach clasps and you're done!
cute design!
mad for crochet!
love the pattern very versatile, it might be a good holiday present for girls at work!!

Across the commonwealth in Louisville, Rick Pitino has taken a different path, more blue-collar than the glamour of Big Blue, but he's reaching the same spot of dominance that could only get more pronounced in the Big East once Boeheim and friends are gone.
And now look at what's going on in Indiana. Not since Bob Knight's red-sweater heyday has the Hoosiers breathed the air of legitimate national contender status. Last season's run to the Sweet 16, and the fact that everyone, including Cody Zeller, returns, has made the Hoosiers the chic pre-season pick to win it all for the first time since 1987.
In all three places – Lexington, Louisville and Bloomington - unlimited support and passion leads to unlimited expectations. They also represent three different leagues not named Big 12 or ACC, where at least there's a semblance of conference uncertainty.
The former has a national finalist (Kansas) replacing a lot of parts, but still quite strong to fend off the likes of talented Baylor and newbie West Virginia. The latter, for too long a Duke-North Carolina stranglehold, might break with the fast rice of N.C. State before those guys from SU show up.
Oh yes, what of the Orange? Gone are Dion Waiters, Fab Melo, Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine, the core of a team that, in 2011-12, lost just three times and got to the brink of a Final Four amid the scalding Bernie Fine controversy that, thankfully, has drifted away.
What remains, though, is quite substantial, thanks to Brandon Triche, C.J. Fair and Rakeem Christmas. Add the imposing size and power of Jamesville-DeWitt's latest contribution to the SU brand, Dejuan Coleman, and there's reason to think that SU can challenge Louisville in its Big East swan song.
It's that latter part that will be tough to digest for so many long-time Orange fans. The passage of each season was a comfortable one, from lots of early-season wins to the Big East grind where Georgetown, Connecticut, St. John's, Villanova and the like were in the way, hated with the sort of hate that only love can explain.

Pet oxygen masks donated to Oconee County Emergency Services
Oconee County Emergency Services has recently received word that fire departments across the county will now be equipped with pet oxygen masks.
Various sources estimate that up to 150,000 pets die each year in fires, most succumbing to smoke inhalation. In most states, emergency responders are not equipped to deal with the crisis because they lack the specially designed pet oxygen masks.
The masks are being donated by Invisible Fence® Brand who is in the business of supporting causes that save pets lives. Project Breathe is a pet oxygen mask donation program that allows local fire departments to access oxygen mask kits to first responders.
On Oct. 31, a representative from Invisible Fence® Brand presented the oxygen mask kits to Oconee County Emergency Services. The reception was held at the Westminster Fire Department.
For more information about the donation of this equipment, contact assistant chief Shane Gibbs at 864-638-4220.

There is a way out for converting the man-machine heavy army based on second world war fighting concepts to a smart power modern force capable of striking with maximum force and minimal collateral damage.
Better governance is key to the new regime. Problems and solutions are best known to the people who face them. With new government right sizing the mammoth government size to increase efficiency, this is the right time to review all organisations with added flab at the cost of efficiency whilst trying to enhance own turfs. Need to break the tired structure into flat ones is an option due to better communications.

NEWPORT CITY – This small border community has been in the spotlight at national conferences over the past few months.
Zoning Administrator Paul Dreher attended the New Partners for Smart Growth in San Diego, the National Main Street Conference in Baltimore, MD, and American Planners Association Conference in Los Angeles.
Trish Sears, executive director for the Newport City Renaissance Corporation (NCRC), also attended the New Partners for Smart Growth and the National Main Street Conference.
NEWPORT–With the sun shinning down upon them, the North Country girls' tennis team battled for over three hours, but came up just short against BFA St. Albans, losing 5-2.
"It was a long and extremely competitive match," said coach Marie George.
ST. ALBANS–Weather was not a factor for the North Country boys' tennis team as they were indoors at the Collins-Pearly Complex to take on the Bobwhites this past Monday.
The Falcons spotted BFA a 1-0 advantage, forfeiting the number two doubles match, but would allow only one more win the rest of the way as they defeated the Academy 5-2.
Coach Gary Atchinson shook up the lineups, and the new order produced the desired results.
Back at the number one slot, Dave Durivage got off to a slow start, getting down 1-4 to Sam Costes.

Fourteen Lake Region Union High School students made the piñatas over the past couple of weeks. The piñatas come just in time for Cinco de Mayo, a day during which Americans and Mexicans celebrate Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the Mexican victory over the French military during the Battle of Puebla.
"Our Spanish class really wanted to do something hands on," explained Lake Region Spanish teacher Katie Kaskey.
JAY, VT - An early morning residential fire in Jay was apparently set to cover up a burglary, according to a report by the Vermont State Police.
The Jay Fire Department responded to the fire on VT RT 242 in Jay around 5:40 AM Monday. The residence is a rental property and no one was home at the time.
The owner of the building had put the fire out before the fire department arrived, however the fire flared up again once the building was ventilated. The fire department extinguished the blaze.

Cricket Australia has paid tribute to Tony Greig as a man who deeply understood the game, and an integral part of the sport's Australian summer.
Greig died of a heart attack on Saturday following a short battle with lung cancer.
He was 66.
Known latterly in Australia as a respected - and often parodied - voice of the Nine Network's cricket commentary team for more than 30 years, former England captain Greig was a prime mover in the breakaway World Series Cricket movement which revolutionised the game in the late 1970s.
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said his overriding memory of Greig would be his deep understanding of cricket both on and off the field.
"He was genuinely connected the world over," Sutherland said.
"He understood the game, and the deeper machinations behind it.
"He very much became a part of our summers through the Nine Network - firstly in World Series Cricket, and then later as a commentator.
"I always found it quite confronting how much he knew about the game - his deep knowledge about the issues of the game ... where the game was, where it was heading.
"He was so worldly about the game, so well connected as well."

Class of 2011: High School Graduation at Rikers Island Jail
Nearly a year ago, 20-year-old high school dropout Benjamin was arrested in a gang-related slaying. Today, he is an award-winning student who was selected to speak before his peers at the first high school graduation for inmates at Rikers Island Correctional Facility.
"When I got locked up and got arrested, I felt that my whole dignity. My whole everything got taken away from me, like my whole life," said Benjamin, who has spent the last 11 months at Rikers, and whose full name is being withheld upon request. "As I was graduating I felt like my whole self value rose up, spiked, went to its peak."
Inmates could earn a GED in the past, but this year is the first time the Department of Education and Department of Corrections teamed up to offer high school credits for inmates at Rikers, which currently runs three schools spread across seven sites.
The graduation this week at East River Academy had many of the hallmarks of other commencements throughout the city: an oversized banner emblazoned with "Congrats Grad," an inspirational commencement speaker, Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Children's Zone. Seventy young men wearing dark blue caps and gowns filed into an auditorium and the graduation march played.
But there were differences too: dozens of correction officers lined the room, visitors had to give up cell phones and drivers licenses before they were granted admission and hints of lime-green, correction-issued jumpsuits peeked out from underneath graduates' gowns.
Speaking to his peers during the commencement, 18-year-old Ajani urged the other graduates to view their time in prison as an opportunity to change course.
"Jail should be used for transformation," the teen who now dreams of being a computer engineer and music producer told the other inmates. "Some people think of it as the end, but it's more of a new beginning. The majority of our leaders and idols have made a negative decision at some point in their lives."
Ajani's mother, Jamaican-born Anthonette Brown from Queens, just shook her head in disbelief as she watched her son.
"His face looks different," Brown said, "and his aura, it says a whole different person to me."
She added: "He was headed in the wrong direction, and as a result of a lot of intervention, he is in a whole other place. In the correct direction, in the right place, correct direction."
About 7 percent of the roughly 12,500 inmates in Rikers are between 16 and 18 years old and are required by law to get an education, according to Dora Schriro, the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Corrections.
Many of the students graduating earned a GED, and if they stay in prison long enough, plan to continue studying for a high school degree. But it's not easy to maintain continuity since many inmates are pre-trial and could be transferred or released once sentenced.
Students at Rikers follow the same curriculum as other city students, take the same Regents exams and still have gym class — although those credits are earned during so-called rec time in prison. What they don't have is access to items the prison considers contraband, mainly calculators and computers.
"There are computers in the classroom, but, as you would expect, with no access to the Internet," Schriro said. "But the students acquire the important keyboarding skills, and the fundamentals of working computers."
Charmaine McCants-Collins, who has taught English at Rikers for 23 years, said the teaching challenges are the same as any school: "Whatever is happening out there is happening in here. It's not a different student, it's a different venue," she said.
Like any other graduation, after the ceremony the inmates filed into the gymnasium for a party. There was music, but no dancing. A buffet of soupy mac and cheese, Caesar salad and generic brand soda was served. The recent graduates sat with their families and friends while guards patrolled the basketball court.
As Benjamin described how school has been transformative for him, his mother, Shirley Lopez, from Elmhurst, Queens, started to cry. He reached over, and wrapped a lean tattooed arm around his mother and held her.
He said he wants to study psychology and help people because he said he has a lot of empathy.
"I want to go to school for that. And I'm definitely going," he said. "This isn't my first nor my last graduation, I'm looking forward to that."

Girl, born 2002
FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), probable secondary CP
Julia has such happy, giant brown eyes and a smile that lights up a room!
From a volunteer who visited with her in July 2014: "I know Julia as a big Drama Queen. She loves attention and she'll do anything to draw your attention. But not this year. I don't know if she was on heavier seditives or that she lost her strength to fight for attention. The only thing she'd do was take my hand as I walked by. Normally she'd wheel after me and try to climb on me, but it seeme like there was no strength left. I missed my Julia as I know her, my little monkey. I want her to find back her energy to get out of life what's in there. She's an amazing girl and she deserves a loving family. She Always has a big smile on her face and she's really caring. She takes care of dolls as if they are real babies. She feeds them, changes their diapers. She loves to play with my hair and she actually tries to put the band in it. She is amazing! She would be such a good daughter! "
From a family who met her in December 2013: "I have to shout for this precious girl for a moment…we are here now and we see her everyday at the orphanage. The pictures don't do this dear one justice at all; she is gorgeous and so very sweet!!! She can't walk on her own (she can if she is assisted!) but she is still quick! She comes over to me everyday and wants in my lap, to shake my hand, or give me a hug. She has SO much potential and I can just see the hunger for love and a Mothers touch in her eyes. She has been overlooked long enough!!! She is darling….truly!! "
From someone who met her: Julia is a girl that I know as the girl with the big smile. Somehow she just seem to smile almost always. She's a little monkey. Whenever somebody enters her group she would crawl up to that person and just start to climb on him/her. She doesn't even need you to give her a hand, she'll just climb up without any help and then she hangs on your neck, looking around, proud, as if she wants to say 'Did you see that? Do you see where I am?'
Her favorite toy is a doll. She plays with it as if it is a baby. Keeping the doll up straight, putting her down carefully. She feeds and clothes the doll. One of the nurses showed her how she should put a cotton diaper on the doll, she totally loved it. She even sings lullabies for the doll and she'll ask visitors to do the same. She also loves to play with long hair. She really tries to make ponytails or braids.
Julia is able to walk, but her legs are really crooked, and she needs help to keep standing or to walk. Julia is described as curious and enthusiastic.
Elinor, Devora, Isolde, Julia, Sullivan, Artemur, Duane, Abner and Irina may all be in the same region.

Price Comparison of Chevrolet Suburban Car Wheels (Steel, Alloy, Chrome, Covers)
Search our extensive inventory of 2001 Alloy Wheels and Steel Rims!
All 2001 Chevrolet Suburban rims may look like they're created equal, but there's a lot more to a properly functioning rim than just being able to hold a tire. For example, steel rims and alloy rims are miles apart in terms of function. While steel is generally less expensive and heavier, it's also stronger and may be a good choice for a larger truck. Alloy wheels are lightweight and more attractive, coming in various finishes like gold, chrome and silver. Check out our huge selection of rims and find the best set for you.
Do you know what type of rims you want for your replacements? Shopping for a set of 2001 Chevrolet Suburban wheels may leave you confused, inundated with terms like composite, steel and alloy. The differences are rather simple to understand, but they're also vitally important. For instance, aftermarket alloy wheels are the ones you see with high-gloss finishes and fancy designs. Steel rims usually have wheel covers placed on for an attractive finish. There are also differences in the sizes and strengths of the many rim types. Have a look around our site and we'll explain the differences to you in simple language you'll understand.

Six DePaul Programs Recognized with NCAA Public Recognition Awards
May 7, 2014
CHICAGO – Six DePaul programs were recognized with Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA for having multi-year Academic Performance Rate (APR) scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. Women's basketball, men's cross country, men's golf, men's soccer, women's soccer and women's tennis were all recognized by the NCAA.
The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in each sport. The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-2012 and 2012-13 academic years.
DePaul's total of six teams honored tied Connecticut for the fourth-highest total among all BIG EAST Conference* schools. Women's basketball and women's tennis picked up the recognition for the ninth straight year while the golf team was honored for the eighth time in nine years. DePaul's highest total was seven teams in 2010-11 and 2011-12 after having six teams earn the honor in 2004-05 and 2009-10.
The women's basketball and women's tennis programs are two of just 146 teams nationally to earn the honor every year.
The 1,049 teams publicly recognized for high achievement represent 631 women's teams and 418 men's or mixed squads. In 2013, 976 teams were recognized. The scores required to be in the top ten ranged from 980 to a perfect 1,000, depending on the sport, with the majority of top 10 teams earning a perfect APR.
The BIG EAST Conference* produced 76 teams led by Notre Dame with 14 programs and Georgetown with 13 teams honored. Villanova totaled eight teams and DePaul's six teams matched Connecticut for the fourth-highest total.
APRs for all Division I teams will be released May 14. The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams nationally. Teams must meet a certain academic threshold to qualify for the postseason, and they also can face penalties for continued low academic performance.
*2012-13 BIG EAST membership: Cincinnati, Connecticut, DePaul, Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, St. John's, Seton Hall, USF, Syracuse, Villanova

Naples man cited for leaving scene, driving without license in U.S. 41 crash injuring 3
A Naples motorist who fled on foot after a Wednesday night crash on U.S. 41 in Collier County was apprehended by deputies and charged with leaving the scene and not having a driver's license, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Pasquel Gonzalez-Lunez, 22, of Naples was turned over to FHP troopers when he was caught by Collier County Sheriff's deputies after leaving the scene of a crash at Lakes Park Road and U.S. 41. The crash was alcohol related, FHP reports show.
At about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Gonzalez-Lunez was driving a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix west on U.S. 41 when he made a left turn in front of an eastbound 2007 Ford Fusion driven by Diana Lee Valdes, 34, of Everglades City. Valdes' car struck the right front of the Grand Prix.
After the initial crash, a third vehicle – a 2010 Ford F150 pickup driven by Paul Kemp Howard, 50, of Clewiston, traveling east behind the Fusion – also struck the Grand Prix, FHP reports.
Gonzalez-Lunez received minor injuries in the crash and was taken to NCH Hospital in downtown Naples. The pickup driver and a passenger in the truck, Robert Edward Smiley, 47, of Orlando, also had minor injuries. Howard was taken to Lee Memorial Hospital; Smiley was taken NCH downtown, FHP reports.
Valdes was not injured in the crash. All involved, except Gonzalez-Lunez, were wearing seat belts, FHP reports show.

Building Excite-ment, part 2: Excitebike 64
Though the legacy of the original Excitebike has continued in various forms since the original's 1984 release, it was not until 16 years later that the game would see its first true sequel. Released in North America on April 30th, 2000 and followed by a June 23rd release for Japan and nearly a year wait for its June 8th, 2001 European release, the 16MB Excitebike 64 arrived near the end of the console generation of which the Nintendo 64 was a part. This time, however, Nintendo passed the development chores on to an outside developer, Left Field Productions. Left Field would go on to innovate the Excite brand, stuck with much of what worked in the original Excitebike, but would also add a number of unique features and distinctions from its predecessor, forming what felt like a true 3D sequel to the original NES game.

Hi Friends,
My name is Susan Gregory – a.k.a. The Daniel Fast Blogger. I'm writing today because so many people think this weblog is the work of some big company or ministry . . . so I wanted to introduce myself to you because we are becoming a grassroots community of everyday Christian men and women who want to deepen our relationship with Christ.This last year was been one of great transition for me (I know many of you are saying, "Me, too!"). I believe this has been a pruning period (see Matthew 15:2) and also a time when God gave me my appointment to return to Christian writing. In that appointment, came an assignment . . . to help get the word out about the Daniel Fast.
On December 4, 2007 I started this blog. I have fasted many times and used the Daniel Fast for longer fasts. So I just started writing about what I knew and also tapped into the many resources I have available to me in my personal faith-building library.
The first day the blog had 7 hits. But within a week the daily count was more than 600 hits. And within 10 days the hit count was just short of 1000. I started hearing from readers asking questions and I could see the kind of information people were seeking. That's why I wrote The Daniel Fast for the Body, Soul and Spirit and later The Daniel Fast Cookbook – Version I.
Words are not adequate to express the deep and very heart-felt appreciation I have for all of you who have purchased the books. You truly are making it possible for me to abandon all other work so that I can give all my focus to obeying God and the assignment He has for me.
The year 2007 was one of the most difficult of my life . . . and I praise God for His goodness and for being right beside me as I have learned more and more about "fighting the good fight of faith." I know many of you know exactly what I am talking about, because you also have had to battle the strongholds that have tried to crush us. The enemy's only goal is to steal, kill and destroy God's people. But as we stand firm on God's Word and His promises . . . we will overcome.
I believed with all my heart that 2008 was a new beginning. That the strongholds were coming down . . . and that there were great battles going on in the heavenly realms (read Daniel 10). God was so faithful. Here I am now in the midst of the victory with even more blessings to come! And even now, I don't think it's a coincidence that thousands of Christian men and women are hearing that still small voice in their spirit telling them to pray and fast.
God is good. He loves us with an immeasurable love. And He is ALWAYS victorious. As we abide in Him . . . and we enter into His Secret Place and dwell in the Almighty . . . then we have access to a realm that the world doesn't even know exists. I can only believe that God is raising up an army of warriors to make His Light shine in the darkness.
It is no coincidence that you are reading these words even now . . . God is ministering to you as He is to tens of thousands of others. He is calling us! As we draw near to Him, He draws near to us . . . and He wants us close so that He can love us, care for us, and use us!
I am looking forward to a glorious year! And I am so glad that God has given me this honor to be able to interact with so many others who also are heeding the call of our Lord.
Susan Gregory 110 West 6th Ave, Box 292 Ellensburg, WA 98926

I'm wanting to make the Daniel Fast Shepherd's Pie today. Though I know the health benefits of tomatoes, when I eat them, I break out. Is there another vegetable I could substitute the tomatoes for? Unfortunately, lots of the recipes in The Daniel Fast use them a lot. Thanks for yours help re: this matter. Blessings to all, AnnaApril 1, 2015

Hi Susan,
I have a few questions for you concerning the Daniel Fast. We can't seem to find any DF friendly soy milk to have with certain foods like Ezekiel 4-9 cereal. Also, is it alright to have whole wheat pasta, we've read that it is okay to have it, but isn't their eggs in ALL pasta? And is it okay to have white distilled white vinegar even if it's fermented?
Lastly, canned tomatoes. We want to eat it and make it certain meals with it, like spaghetti sauce. I hope you can help! Thanks so much!September 29, 2014

I did a Daniel Fast two years ago, praying for healing from mysterious and constant stomach ailments. During the 21 days, I felt so much better and had no stomach ailments at all. In fact, I enjoyed it. I know God drew me closer to Him, which prepared me for some big things He did later that year. And I loved all the foods. Since then, my stomach problems have returned with a fierce vengeance. I've prayed for a solution, help, a healing. I believe God keeps calling the Daniel Fast to mind. My question is this: could this way of eating be sustained for the rest of my life? Or is it too restrictive?August 28, 2014

Hi Susan…God bless you for this site. Please tell me if whole wheat bread is Ok to eat during the fast.February 16, 2014
I am so excited and grateful, that I want to share the good news with the Daniel Fast community. After my first 21 day fast I naturally decided to "test" the physical results. I expected good news because I already had experienced a sweet spiritual gain during the beautiful blessings of the devotionals. The "Borderline – high" cholesterol level I have fought since 2011, (in the range of 213 to 255), is now "Normal" 125 mg/dL! I have heard that this is not possible even when people keep a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
I believe this is the result of not only a change of diet, but also of the spiritual power of the fast. Rejoice!February 14, 2014

Our church is using information from you to start a (partial) Daniel Fast for 21 days. I need and desire a closer walk with The Lord. My laziness, inconsistent Bible reading, and prayer life is in trouble! I am hoping for spiritual renewal and growth. While attending a masters degree in Bible (online), I was reading the Word, fasting longer hours and was growing. I'm back in a spiritual rut and am 65 years old! I'm hoping this fast will help me back on the road to spiritual recovery. Thank you and God bless you spiritually, financially, physically, and emotionally.January 7, 2014

Hi Susan,
I am vegetarian and wanted to know if the vegetarian products (such as quorn, morning star, and gardein) are allowed during the fast. Thank you for your steadfastness in your calling from the Lord. I'm fasting and in prayer for a closer relationship with the Lord, financial breakthrough, and salvation for family members that do not have a relationship with the Father.January 4, 2014

Thank you so much Ms. Gregory for providing such a wonderful site. The information helped me so much to understand the Daniel fast. I pray that the good Lord Jesus Christ continues to bless your ministry and use you in a mighty way. God is good all the time. I agree with you, it is not by mistake that I found your site. Thank you once again and God bless you always.

"Trey is going to be a really good player for us. He does all of it well. You know we love those kind of guys. He's as good as any we've had there coming in (to the program). Hopefully, he continues to progress."
Full pads
The Sooners worked out in full pads for the first time on Monday.
"We don't like to be down on the ground or at each other's legs and falling on the ground anyway, so when we (just) have on our shoulder pads and helmets on we're pretty much 100 percent full go anyway," Stoops said.
Center Ben Habern said: "I loved it. (It's similar) but there is a difference because when you're in full pads it's more realistic. It's harder. But honestly it's more fun because it's more like a game situation."
Extra points...
Matt Moreland is still working through academic issues. If Moreland isn't an option, Stoops said punter Tress Way most likely handle kickoffs, but walk-on Michael Hunnicutt "kicks it pretty well, too. They've been fairly consistent, pretty close to what Matt had been doing." ... Fourth-team quarterback John Nimmo and Southmoore walk-on wide receiver Nyko Symonds are competing for the holder's job. "The snaps and holds right now are excellent," Stoops said. ... It's looking doubtful redshirt freshman defensive tackle Justin Chaisson will return to the team. "He's working on some personal issues. We'll make a decision in a week or two whether he'll rejoin us or not," Stoops said. ... After hearing freshman running back Roy Finch took a big-time hit from Ronnell Lewis, Gundy was asked if Finch was OK. "I was doing some other stuff so I asked them, 'Did he hold on to the ball?' They said, 'Yep.' I said, 'Good.'"

Douglas Miley's Objective:"My objective is to become known for my vivid and realistic oil paintings of the Southwest, the Sedona Area and the Grand Canyon. My desire is that my viewers feel the emotion and awe of the Canyon and to recognize how blessed we all are with this spectacular creation provided by God."
Born in an isolated farmhouse in Northwestern Ohio in 1941, Douglas Miley began his art career as soon as he could hold a pencil.
"I can't remember the first time I drew something," Doug admits. "I must have been two or three."
At four, Doug distinctly remembers receiving a set of colored pencils from his uncle as a Christmas gift. He spent the next four years drawing meticulously detailed pictures of the Ohio scenery. When that same uncle gave him a set of oils for his eighth birthday, Doug discovered his medium.
Except for a two-year stint as an army illustrator during the Viet Nam conflict, Doug has been painting steadily since then.
After his discharge from the army, Doug spent eleven years working for Campbell's Soup Company as an illustrator, a job which required that he paint the rosy-cheeked Campbell's Kids™ on more than one occasion.
He left Campbell's and Ohio and moved to Prescott, Arizona, in 1977 in search of more hospitable winters and a receptive clientele for his self-taught, romantic-realistic style of painting.
Doug spent several years restoring the masterpieces painted by other Western artists, such as Weighorst, Remington and Russell.
In 1993, Doug married Lilly Sandige, herself an award-winning artist, who became his business manager.
At Lilly's instigation, Doug entered a painting in the 2001 Veteran's Administration National Veterans Creative Art Festival and won the first place award in the oil painting category. The piece, titled Country Road, depicts a frosty winter morning amid the scenic red rocks of Sedona, Arizona.
In 2005, Arts for the Parks selected Doug's painting Bright Angel Point - North Rim for inclusion in the collection of 100 paintings which tours the country's National Parks for the next year. The judges chose Doug's paintings from hundreds of entrants. His painting Pima Point - North Rim was selected for the same honor in 2006.
Doug displays his paintings Memorial Day weekends in the Phippen Museum's Western Art Show & Sale held Saturday through Monday outdoors on the courthouse square in Prescott, Arizona. It is one of only a half dozen shows where Doug appears in person each year.
Doug is listed in Contemporary Western Artists. He is a member of Mountain Artist's Guild, Prescott Fine Arts Association, Arizona Art Alliance and the Southwestern Artist Association (SWAA) where he is a past recipient of the Artist of the Year award. Doug also presents an annual demonstration in painting for the SWAA, which typically has standing room only for his appearances.
Painting every day, he is faced with a wonderful dilemma - keeping up with the demand for his paintings, which increases every year.
Asked about his plans to retire, Doug doesn't see such an event in his future.
"Retirement is the first step to premature death," he insists. "I'll retire when I can't hold a brush any longer."
Basically self taught. During his teen years in Ohio, he studied under John Nartker, a modernist and Van Porth, an illustrator and fine landscape artist. Art Restoration was studied under Claude Peters in Prescott from 1979-1984.
Gallery Representation
Doug is represented by Treasures in Art Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ, The Windrush Gallery in Sedona, AZ, and in the Master's Room at Mountain Artists Gallery in Prescott, AZ.
Limited Editon Prints and Giclées
He has several limited edition prints which were self published. They are: Winter at the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Crossing, Summer Storm - Grand Canyon, Spring Song - Grand Canyon, and Superstition Mountains. His giclees are Night Camp, Red Rock Crossing, Grand Canyon - Point Imperial, and Grand Canyon Light.
Professional Memberships
Doug has been active in Southwestern Artists Association, Mountain Artists Gallery, The Phippen Museum, Prescott Fine Arts Association and Sharlot Hall Museum. He is listed in Contemporary Artists of the Southwest, Strathmore's Who's Who, and the soon to be published " The Best of American Oil Artists."
Community Activities
Doug has been active in art shows, and has donated many hours to teaching students. His favorites are charitable organizations where he has donated many limited edition prints and/or original oils to the following organizations:
Yavapai Regional Hospital Hospice, Big Brothers and Sisters, People Who Care, The Alzheimer's Association, The Phippen Museum, Sharlot Hall Museum, Paradise Valley Christian Schools, Sacred Heart School, and Mountain Artist Gallery.
All charitable requests have been received with joy. He has been bulletin mailout chairman for Southwestern Artists Association for 13 years.
Art Shows
Doug has participated in various art shows, many at the local groups and galleries with which he has been a member. In addition, over the past 15 years, he has been in the Memorial Day Phippen Show. He has participated in the Scottsdale Celebration of Art, The Anthem Show and The Southwest Art in the Wine Country Show in Calistoga, CA. He was honored as one of 3 Arizona Artists in a special show at the Phippen Museum, entitled Contemporary Southwest Painters.
Since 2001, he has been in the Regional and National competition of the National Veterans Creative Art Festival here in Prescott. He had a special one man show at the Hilltop Gallery at the Prescott Resort in 1996. Then in 2004, Prescott Fine Arts Gallery showcased his retrospective in a one man show.
Awards Received
In 2001, he received the Gold Medal as 1st place in oil painting for the National Veterans Creative Art Festival. In the last 8 years he has won numerous 1st place awards in oils and Best of Show in the regional competition of this Veterans show. He was in the Top 100 for The National Arts for the Parks in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, he was in the Top 100 of Paint America.
Doug was awarded The Peoples Choice Award at the Phippen Memorial show for 2006, 2007 and 2008. Windrush Gallery honored Doug as Artist of the Year in 1999. His studio is literally full of plaques and ribbons for first place in oils and best of show awards from the many shows in which he has participated.
Notable Articles
His painting of Red Rock Crossing, Sedona, was on the cover of Art Trends magazine as part of an article by Nita G. Bateman entitled "The new look of the Southwest." His painting Saguaro Sunset was on the cover of the Winter/Spring issue of Vista magazine, a Fountain Hills publication along with a 2-page article featuring Doug as the Art Views Artist.
His painting, A New Day Dawns was on the cover of the Vista 2009 magazine along with a 2-page article entitled, "The Art of Marriage" featuring photos of Doug and Lilly and their paintings exhibited at Treasures in Art Gallery.
There have been numerous articles and interviews in the Prescott Courier newspaper, The Sedona Art Scene, The Scottsdale Art Scene, and Art Talk along with radio and television.
