BOSTON, Mass. – The 17th ranked Beacons (17-2) added another tally to their growing winning column as they defeated the United States Coast Guard Academy (14-5) 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-13) Saturday afternoon in the Clark Athletic Center. With the win, the Beacons have tied the longest win-streak in the program's history.
The last time UMass Boston won 17 consecutive matches, was not too long ago. It was actually just last season as they went unbeaten from October 8, 2009 – November 12, 2009, which was actually the first round of the NCAA championship tournament.
In Saturday's match-up it was the Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, CA) and Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, CA) as the two combined for 34 kills respectively.
With 17 kills to her name, Thompson now stands at 1,177 career kills, which is not only second-most all-time but is a mere 14 kills away from tying the all-time record of 1,191 set by Kate White '09.
As a team the Beacons managed a .402 attack percentage. In the first two sets, UMass hit well over .400 as they went 18-for-33 (.455) in the opener and 18-for-36 (.417) in the second set. The third set had the Beacons finishing the match 14-for-33 overall (.333).
Thompson actually posted the only double-double of the match, as she tallied 15 digs in the win. Cassy Hanneman (Denver, CO) and Kayla Wilson (San Jose, CA) were equal with 11 digs. Hanneman also walked away with 35 assists to lead the Beacons offensive efforts. Porter was responsible for two of the Beacons six aces, and also added four digs to her line as well.
Volleyball returns to action on Tuesday when they host UMass Dartmouth at 6 p.m. in a Little East Conference match.

From Bioarchitecture.org
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are unicellular or cell-cluster microscopic organisms. This includes eukaryotes such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes such as bacteria and certain algaes. Viruses, though not strictly classed as living organisms, are also studied[1]. Microbiology is a broad term which includes many branches like Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology, Parasitology & Others. A person who specializes in the area of Microbiology is called as "Microbiologist"
Although much is now known in the field of microbiology, advances are being made regularly. The most common estimates suggest that we have studied only about 1% of all of the microbes in any given environment. Thus, despite the fact that over three hundred years have passed since the discovery of microbes, the field of microbiology is clearly in its infancy relative to other biological disciplines such as zoology, botany and entomology.
Based on a research paper, bacteria were first observed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1676 using a single-lens microscope of his own design. The name "bacterium" was introduced much later, by Ehrenberg in 1828, derived from the Greek word βακτηριον meaning "small stick". While Antony van Leeuwenhoek is often cited as the first microbiologist, the first recorded microbiological observation, that of the fruiting bodies of molds, was made earlier in 1665 by Robert Hooke.
The field of bacteriology (later a subdiscipline of microbiology) is generally considered to have been founded by Ferdinand Cohn (1828-1898), a botanist whose studies on algae and photosynthetic bacteria led him to describe several bacteria including Bacillus and Beggiatoa. Ferdinand Cohn was also the first to formulate a scheme for the taxonomic classification of bacteria.
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Robert Koch (1843-1910) were contemporaries of Cohn's and are often considered to be the founders of medical microbiology. Pasteur is most famous for his series of experiments designed to disprove the then widely held theory of spontaneous generation, thereby solidifying microbiology's identity as a biological science. Pasteur also designed methods for food preservation (pasteurization) and vaccines against several diseases such as anthrax, fowl cholera and rabies. Robert Koch is best known for his contributions to the germ theory of disease, proving that specific diseases were caused by specific pathogenic microorganisms. He developed a series of criteria that have become known as the Koch's postulates. Koch was one of the first scientists to focus on the isolation of bacteria in pure culture resulting in his description of several novel bacteria including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis.
While Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch are often considered the founders of microbiology, their work did not accurately reflect the true diversity of the microbial world because of their exclusive focus on microorganisms having medical relevance. It was not until the work of Martinus Beijerinck (1851-1931) and Sergei Winogradsky (1856-1953), the founders of general microbiology (an older term encompassing aspects of microbial physiology, diversity and ecology), that the true breadth of microbiology was revealed. Martinus Beijerinck made two major contributions to microbiology: the discovery of viruses and the development of enrichment culture techniques. While his work on the Tobacco Mosaic Virus established the basic principles of virology, it was his development of enrichment culturing that had the most immediate impact on microbiology by allowing for the cultivation of a wide range of microbes with wildly different physiologies. Sergei Winogradsky was the first to develop the concept of chemolithotrophy and to thereby reveal the essential role played by microorganisms in geochemical processes. He was responsible for the first isolation and description of both nitrifying and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Types of microbiology
The field of microbiology can be generally divided into several subdisciplines:
- Microbial physiology: The study of how the microbial cell functions biochemically. Includes the study of microbial growth, microbial metabolism and microbial cell structure.
- Microbial genetics: The study of how genes are organised and regulated in microbes in relation to their cellular functions. Closely related to the field of molecular biology.
- Medical microbiology: The study of the role of microbes in human illness. Includes the study of microbial pathogenesis and epidemiology and is related to the study of disease pathology and immunology.
- Veterinary microbiology: The study of the role in microbes in veterinary medicine or animal taxonomy.
- Environmental microbiology: The study of the function and diversity of microbes in their natural environments. Includes the study of microbial ecology, microbially-mediated nutrient cycling, geomicrobiology, microbial diversity and bioremediation. Characterisation of key bacterial habitats such as the rhizosphere and phyllosphere.
- Evolutionary microbiology: The study of the evolution of microbes. Includes the study of bacterial systematics and taxonomy.
- Industrial microbiology: The exploitation of microbes for use in industrial processes. Examples include industrial fermentation and wastewater treatment. Closely linked to the biotechnology industry. This field also includes brewing, an important application of microbiology.
- Aeromicrobiology: The study of airborne microorganisms.
- Food Microbiology: The study of microorganisms causing food spoilage.
- Pharmaceutical microbiology: the study of microorganisms causing pharmaceutical contamination and spoillage.
Benefits of microbiology
While microbes are often viewed negatively due to their association with many human illnesses, microbes are also responsible for many beneficial processes such as industrial fermentation (e.g. the production of alcohol and dairy products), antibiotic production and as vehicles for cloning in higher organisms such as plants. Scientists have also exploited their knowledge of microbes to produce biotechnologically important enzymes such as Taq polymerase, reporter genes for use in other genetic systems and novel molecular biology techniques such as the yeast two-hybrid system.

Strategic expansion has given way to rapid contraction in the EU and US, as many groups seek to scale back peripheral operations and re-focus on their core business. In contrast to most Western markets, a majority of FS organisations in Asia remain intent on expansion, especially as they seek to improve their offering to the region's growing middle class.
The ability to measure current and prospective risk-adjusted returns will be critical in identifying what businesses to develop or divest and convey the rationale for restructuring strategies to analysts and investors. The most successful sellers will be able to divest businesses in a way that clearly identifies value for the potential buyer and supports the long-term strategy of the group.
Restructuring will open up valuable opportunities for agile and strongly capitalised firms, who can step in to take advantage of divestment or market exit by weaker competitors. The absence of traditional sources of capital raising (such as the debt and equity markets) is likely to encourage less well-capitalised firms to explore alternative and innovative financing options to support their growth strategies. This could include private equity funding, either in the form of capital injections or strategic partnerships.

Making plans
It snowed all morning (again). We ate breakfast with my mother who is visiting from the US. SR and I knew that no matter the weather, this was our day for a long, long run.
SR put on his backpack, I my Garmin and we were off. Okay, we did put clothes on, too.
But then it ended up being warmer than expected, so the clothes had to go. Ahhh, the Danish countryside.
We ran about 80% on snowy trails. I have never had a winter of running on almost exclusively snow. In the US, I ran on the sidewalks in the winter. But here, the sidewalks are also covered with snow. The town of Næstved actually recently ran out of their salt supply for the entire winter. So why not run somewhere pretty?
I do not know if snow running is good training, but I do know I've gotten good at it and my legs have gotten quite strong.
Here we are taking a break at Karrebæksminde Bugt and then Gavnø Slot.
Gavnø Slot is the beautiful castle, which looks blurry in the background. It is here I hope to start and end an 80k/50 mile ultra. I've been working on the plans with SR, we just need to get our athletic club involved and work out the details of the route.
We ran for nearly 4 hours together and that was 21.5 miles. But at that point, I wasn't really feeling sore or tired. I have to say that now that I am 53 kg (and I can tell, or at least really hope, the weight is in muscle and not fat), I have become a much stronger long-distance runner (my mom suggested it is because I'm not breastfeeding anymore; an interesting theory). I ran for another 4 miles alone at around a 9:30 pace, even on the snow. I still felt great, but didn't want to get injured, so I called it a day after almost a marathon.
We both felt so good afterwards and were able to better plan out our races for the spring and summer:
1. Hells Hills 50 miler (SR is running the 50k)- April 3. I have spent some time studying the race and I may have a shot at the female course record (which right now is 9:24). But depending on how hellish and hilly it actually is, I might have to revise that goal. Honestly, it does seem realistic with having run one 50 miler in 8:45 and then Voyageur in 9:40 and feeling even stronger this year. But, even if I'm 3 hours after that goal, I'll still be happy. Mostly because I finally get to meet Olga and Larry. And SR and I get a romantic getaway in the small Texan town of Smithville.
2. Copenhagen Marathon - 23 May: goal time is under 3:20.
3. 24 hour race on Bornholm vs. Aabenraa mountain marathon at the end of June. Well, I'm not thrilled about the idea of running a 24 hour race that is half on asphalt. But if Steve Q really does come to run it, then I will, too. If I run the 24 hour race, SR will run the 6 hour and then pace me. If we run Aabenraa, we'll both run the same race.
4. I'll skip right to our plans for late July, early August's trip back the US. We have three weeks, one of which is just the two of us. The first weekend, we are going to run Voyageur (if a race directory is found). I think I speak for both of us when I say the main goal is to show up on time. Followin the race, we'll stay in Duluth and then start a week long trip around lake Superior by car, stopping in parks, towns, wherever we feel like. Just the two of us, bikes, wetsuits and running shoes. The week will end with a marathon around Grand Island near Munising, MI. That is, if we can run a marathon the weekend after Voyageur.
So, what about getting pregnant? Well, let's just say there is no hurry to have baby number two, but if I do get pregnant, the racing plans probably won't change. I'll just run slower.
I didn't actually listen to much music today, but one that stands out was a rec from Steve Q (wow, two mentions in one blog post!)...

sub 3:20 marathon sounds TOTALLY do-able based on your current PBs and training. I would even say closer to 3:10 (assuming no baby). Go SLG Go!

The CR is soft for sure, although it's weird Meredith ran 9:4x in 2007. The trails are fine there, no rocks and few roots. Heat might be a big factor. Train for heat.
See ya soon!
p.s. saw a 6mo pregnant woman running sub-4hr marathon yesterday when we did an AS at mile 22. She looked great!

Just wondering if you ever had any supply issues while you were breastfeeding and running? Any idea how many calories you ate to keep your supply up? I'm a very novice runner and I had my little one 9 weeks ago. I'd like to train for a 5k, but don't want to have any decrease in supply. Btw The Lorax is so adorable!

How sweet you're thinking of me! I won't be doing the 24-hour, both because I can't get trained in time and money's so tight I may be down to 2 races this year. Voyageur has a race director (two, actually), so all is well there.
It might be right for running, but my current fave song is "Dreams" by Twilight Hours.

Thank you so much for that vote of confidence. It was just what I needed!
Olga, I forgot to mention that the two of us will actually be battling it out for the course record. Oh, yeah and bring on the heat... please!!! Thanks also for metioning the fast pregnant chick! I love it!
Learningtorun2009, I am so happy you commented and it is awesome that you are taking up running as a new mom. The only time I had supply issues was during a hot ultramarathon where I got dehydrated, but the milk came back the next day. It also seemed like my supply went down when my weight was at it's lowest (BMI below 18!). Other than that, I tended to have an oversupply and pumped tons of extra bottles, even some for friends.
Danni, SR has made it clear that if there is ever a Danish cotton-only ultra, I will probably be the winner. I am a believer in continuing to wear all of my clothing from high school as long as I can.
SteveQ, Bad news about the 24 hour race. But good news about Voyageur. Thanks for the update! Now I have to find that song.

I won't be battling anything in TX, I am aiming for good time at Leona Divide 2 weeks later. I usually do this - if it's local and/or free, I don't race, just use it as a training run. If i travel and pay money - I put an effort:) I am still surprised at Mer's time though, and she loves the heat. Gotta find out what went wrong,

- olga said...
p.s. at Rocky my 50M split was right on 10 hrs. I heard hell's hills has a bit more steep climbs, but other than that it is similar. Granted, that was a split where I was saving myself for the second half. Say, my goal would be sub-9? Worthy goal. Just like with mountain 100's, I haven't run "flat" 50 in a long time...so not even sure what to predict anymore:) And I certainly don't want to battle you! But if I do catch you in the last 5 miles, you better hang on my skirt, and we can finish together! Wouldn't it be neat?
- 16 February 2010 at 21:53
- sea legs girl said...
Olga, that not only sounds neat, but way better than a win. I hope it happens and that we share the course record. Somehow I think we'll both be laughing, though, when we realize how tough the course really is. But since you're a native, you will probably be able to handle it :).

New Orleans Saints
Saints' Vilma sues Roger Goodell for defamation
NEW ORLEANS — Suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma has filed a defamation lawsuit against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans claims Goodell has made false statements about Vilma while discussing the NFL's bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints.
Goodell has said Vilma was a leader of the team's bounty program put up thousands of dollars for bounties on opposing team's star players, including on then-Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner and then-Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre during the 2009-10 playoffs.
Goodell has also suspended Vilma for the entire season. Vilma and three other players who received shorter suspensions all have appealed their punishments.Vilma denies putting up money to knock any player out of a game.
His lawsuit asks for unspecified monetary damages.

The first word that comes to mind when you are in trouble, when you want help or when you want to talk to someone!!
My sympathies to the working mother who when you look at it has already chosen her career over her child. The increasing trend for an Indian working mother is to have her mother come down to look after her child. Grandma looks after child while mommy darling rushes off to work early in the morning and returns late at night. Father dear tries to involve himself as less as possible except to play with baby for half an hour or so. A different maid each quarter of the year..sometimes every month too! And then what? Grandma comes to the rescue once again!
Now, I am NOT one of the exorbitantly wealthy and neither am I uneducated. But, I have always believed that when I give birth to a child, it is MY responsibility to look after him, feed him, bathe him, sing songs to him, play with him, educate him and so on…And I have stuck with my principles too. That does not mean I do not want a career. It just means that I have prioritized my life the way I think is right for the time being. [My husband helps out as much as he can too. Thank God for that!!]
But, I know of so many friends and friends of friends and even some relatives who are doing the parenting with-the-parent thing. I mean, don't get me wrong. If you want your parents help, you should ask for it and they WILL help. It is not wrong. It is not incorrect. But I strongly feel that the one who needs help must go to the person who can help you. Not vice versa.
When it happens vice versa is where it gets all wrong. There are those mothers who has her mother staying with her in a foreign country while her father is in India. There are those who have their ailing mother staying in places with harsh climates to look after their children. There are those who even have their moms travelling up and down, back and forth between their own homes and their children' homes!! I just find it so UNFAIR! It is the time for our parents to relax and do whatever pleases them..to be able to rest and enjoy their peace. But these days that seems to be a rare luxury…[in many cases, only enjoyed by a boys parents!!]
That brings me to the next topic of why the boy's mother is never being pushed around and it is always the girl's mother??! Maybe it is the saas-bahu thing (which is a topic for later someday) That seems to be the only answer there.
I grew up in a joint family. But now, I have my own nuclear family..the way I have always wanted. When you live in a joint family, there are a lot of benefits but you have got to look at the other side of the coin too, right? A joint family pretty much has three generations living under the same roof! Now, how is that going to be? Think about it. The first generation thinks of themselves as the ultimate parents always 'parenting' the second and third generations. The third generation is easily pampered by the first generation and gets their way most of the time.
Now, the second generation. The middle zone is who gets stuck. They can't diss their parents. They can't diss their children. They don't get their way and their voice is not heard most of the time. It is a horrible thing. I never realized that until I became a parent. But the good part is that you can get lots of help and advise. Most times, too much advise!! Also, when you try to parent with your parent around, there' going to be a LOT of difference in opinions and lack of control.
In the end, after all that the grandparents have done for them, children still look upto their parents for approval and once they become adults, most side with their parents. Then what about all the grandparently love that was lavished on them throughout their childhood? Isn't it a sad situation for our old parents?
OK.. Taking a step back.. I just want to let you know that I do realize that parenting is huge work and hence easier with familial support. Hey!! Many times I wish my mom were with me.. but then like my Dad says.. Parenting is the one job in which there is no right or wrong way. Everybody learns to be the best they can.

WASHINGTON, June 17 (UPI) -- U.S. federal regulators said they recommended more control measures for the expansion of a 44-year-old hydroelectric project in a Texas national forest.
The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission published its draft environmental impact statement on the expansion of the existing Toledo Bend hydroelectric project.
The facility is in the Sabine National Forest in Texas. FERC said it would affect land and waters in Texas and parts of Louisiana.
State authorities filed a request to install turbines to increase the electricity generated from the project.
FERC said its draft assessment called for more monitoring downstream from the facility. It said Louisiana and Texas authorities should be responsible for ensuring invasive species are kept out of the area. Additional measures should ensure protective species like the bald eagle are preserved and the river remains accessible for recreational use.
Comments on the draft survey are accepted until Aug. 5.
The facility started generating electricity in the late 1960s.


text: OK, So I have an interesting story for you all. We, as many of you know, are in Vermont for the week. We went to do an interesting cache today. You were to go to a walk in only cemetery and read numbers from 2 stones to get coords for the final. When I walked into the clearing I see a fresh dug hole. Now keep in mind that there is no possible way for any equipment to get there. The hole is not long enough to be a grave, BUT it is wide enough as well as deep enough. And it was definitely fresh dug. Now the strange part. One of the stones that we went to find was broken off and down in the freshly dug hole! We could only assume that it was the one since we didn't find it anywhere else. I tried to clean it off with a long stick, but had no luck, and I was NOT going down in there. I have to believe that someone was trying to rob a grave. As I said, this cemetery is a quarter mile bushwhack. Not a frequented place at all. I emailed the owner and suggested he contact the local authorities.


text: Marvel Comics recently announced that the popular (male) Norse god Thor was now going to be a woman in upcoming comics. Right after that, Marvel then revealed that Captain America would now be Sam Wilson (AKA "The Falcon") who is African American. With both of these progressive characters trying to change the status quo, why should comic book companies stop at just two heroes?

Cincinnati Reds
Heisey's hat trick earns split
CINCINNATI — Leadoff hitter Chris Heisey homered three times, getting Cincinnati's slumping lineup going, and Johnny Cueto allowed only two hits in seven innings Wednesday night, leading the Reds to a 10-2 win and a doubleheader split with the New York Yankees.
In the opener, Jorge Posada ended the second-longest homer drought of his career with a two-run shot, sending the Yankees to a 4-2 win.
Heisey started the second game with his first career leadoff homer. He also had two-run shots off Brian Gordon (0-1) and Hector Noesi in his first multihomer game.
Cueto (5-2) gave up Nick Swisher's solo homer and Alex Rodriguez's single. The right-hander pitched out of a bases-loaded threat in the seventh, retiring Posada on a groundout to preserve a 4-1 lead.
The Reds pulled away by batting around for three runs in the bottom of the inning, and Heisey homered for the third time in the eighth. Teammates made him take a curtain call, and fans chanted his name when he went back out to left field.
He became the third Reds player to homer three times in the leadoff spot, joining Pete Rose and Jay Bruce.
Cueto has given up only four runs in four June starts. He was scratched from a start Monday in the series opener because of a sore neck. He stretched it sideways as he walked off the field after fanning Rodriguez in the first inning, an indication it was still bothering him a bit.
Couldn't tell by his pitching. He retired 12 straight batters over one stretch, putting the Reds in line for only their second victory in nine interleague games.
Gordon had problems in one of the majors' most homer-friendly ballparks.
The 32-year-old journeyman left the Phillies' farm system last week to sign with the Yankees, who need help for their depleted rotation. He impressed in his first start, giving up two runs in 51⁄3 innings of a win over Texas.
The second time wasn't so good.
Gordon showed Heisey his two best pitches leading off the first inning, throwing a 69 mph curve followed by a 90 mph fastball. Heisey then connected on a sloppy, full-count fastball. Gordon gave up five hits — three of them homers — and four runs in five innings.
The Yankees won the first game without Rodriguez or first baseman Mark Teixeira in the starting lineup. Posada played first base and made the difference.
Posada's tiebreaking homer off Mike Leake (6-4) ended his stretch of 126 at-bats without one. His last homer was April 23.
Freddy Garcia (6-6) gave up two unearned runs in seven innings. Yankees third baseman Ramiro Pena committed three errors, including two in the fifth inning that gave the Reds two unearned runs.
Garcia allowed three hits in seven innings while improving to 22-10 in 39 career interleague starts. The right-hander is 4-0 in four career starts against the Reds, all of them in Cincinnati and all of them for a different team. He played for the Mariners, the White Sox and the Phillies in the first three.
Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 22 tries. He has a record 66 career saves in interleague games, including 22 straight since 2006.

Disclaimer: I did not actually buy anything from Anime & RPGl and.Over the past two weeks I tried to work out a trade with Anime & RPGl and for the DQ Zenithia Trilogy. I found that he consistently overstated the value of his items and requested I add/substitute titles or offset the perceived value of his games with cash. For the record, I offered him both the complete Gundam Wing series and Neon Genesis Evangelion, both in near mint condition. I even offered to trade all of that for just the first two games in the trilogy. In his responses, he consistently told me how worthless or lame these series were.I wouldn't feel compelled to write this if he hadn't requested pictures and feigned interest for two weeks. This is just a cautionary tale: when dealing with Anime & RPGl and, prepare to pay above market value, be insulted, and send countless PMs before you either give up or give in.

Teacher's Aide Wins Older Worker of the Year Contest
Nina George, a teacher's aide for 44 years, has won Missouri's 2010 Older Worker of the Year Contest. Missouri First Lady Georganne Wheeler Nixon presented the award to George last month at a luncheon attended by eleven other statewide finalists at the Governor's Mansion.
George, 77, started working as a cook at South Holt R-1 School District in rural Oregon, Mo., in 1965. The following year, she became a teacher's aide.
"Mrs. George is always at work and very seldom takes a sick or personal day," said Bob Ottman, the school's superintendent. "She can be counted on to arrive 15 minutes early and stay late until the work is done, or no more children need help. Whether at recess or helping students with reading, their basic needs will be met."
George treats the elementary school children like they are her own, often spending her own money to ensure they have school supplies, snacks, clothing and field trip money.
"But she doesn't want anyone to know where the money came from. In fact, she shuns the limelight," Ottman said.
George apparently inherited the spirit of quiet giving from her mother. "I didn't know all the wonderful things my mother did until she passed away," George said. "Neighbors came to our house and asked, 'Did you know your mother bought a dress for my daughter's eighth-grade graduation because we didn't have the money'? 'Did you know your mother bought gas for our car when we couldn't afford it'?"
"An ex-World War II soldier, a stranger, even came to the house and said he probably would have gone AWOL if my mother hadn't sent him all those hand-drawn cartoons and cards," she said.
But there's also a steely resolve to George that helped her overcome breast cancer and a severe stroke in 2002, despite doctors' predictions that she would never walk again.
"I kind of have a temper," she jokes. "My husband will vouch for that." Her students also vouch for her fun-loving, impish side.
Photos of George and the other eleven finalists being honored by First Lady Nixon are available at:http://www.flickr.com/photos/49879968@N04/5018157397/.
The 20th annual Older Worker of the Year contest is sponsored by the Missouri Senior Employment Coordinating Committee, consisting of the AARP Foundation; Experience Works, Inc.; Catholic Charities of Kansas City; MERS/Missouri Goodwill Industries; the Department of Economic Development/Division of Workforce Development; and the Department of Health and Senior Services/Division of Senior and Disability Services.

Always pack up seasonal decorations and supplies neatly before storing them in the basement, attic, or garage. Be sure to properly label them so they're easy to find next year. And use a system to help identify bins you need more often than others (like a sliding scale from 1 to 3, or A to C.) Place "A"s or "1"s in the easiest-to-reach areas, while "3"s or "C"s can be a little further away.
Ask yourself what you and your family absolutely need. Donate anything that you don't want or need or have doubles of, and toss anything that's broken.
Identify the bad habits that are stopping you from being organized and create solutions to solve these specific issues. For example, if mail piling up on your kitchen table is a problem, then try adding a recycling bin to your entryway.
Give everything in your home its proper place. This will make it easy to always put things back where they belong. And the items that have no place? You probably don't need them at all.
Keep like-things together to make it easier to keep track of what you have and what you need.
The things you use most often, or should be using more often, need to be at your fingertips. Use "active storage" for these items. This could mean a small bowl by the entryway for keys and sunglasses, or a canister on the kitchen counter for scissors and other tools you use a lot.
Whether it's hanging file folders, storage boxes or digital files on the computer, label everything as clearly as possible so you don't wind up spending time down the road re-opening things to discern what's inside.

Palivizumab stops respiratory syncytial
virus (RSV) from reproducing. This medicine contains
antibodies that are made in a lab.
Palivizumab is used to prevent
RSV infection. It is mainly used for
children who have a high risk of developing complications, such as those who have
chronic lung disease or heart problems. If your baby
born early or has health problems, talk to your doctor
about the need to prevent RSV.
If palivizumab does not prevent a
child from becoming infected with RSV, it may make the illness less severe.
This reduces the child's chance of having complications, such as
bronchiolitis or
Using palivizumab monthly during
the RSV season lowers the chance of needing to go to the hospital (for
RSV-related illnesses) by almost half, and it shortens the length of stay in
the hospital by more than half.1
Palivizumab does not decrease how often children get other illnesses,
such as
ear infections.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Call your doctor right away if your child has:
Side effects of this medicine include:
Palivizumab may cause pain at the site
where the medicine was given.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Palivizumab is given as an injection, and it is given at a doctor's office.
During the RSV season (late
fall to early spring), this shot is given once a month for up to 5 months. The number of doses depends on your child's risk factors.
Your child may need to take this medicine for most of the RSV season, whether he or she gets RSV infection or not. Different strains of RSV can be present in a community during the
same year, so treatment may still offer protection from infection.
Palivizumab does not interfere with
the regular
immunization schedule.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

When the race gets muddy, turn to the Tubeless Ready XR Mud Team Issue tire. The mud-shedding tread pattern digs deep for superior grip in the nastiest conditions, while trimmable knobs let you customize your rubber so it's fastest for the trail you're riding.
Key features
- Excels in deep mud conditions
- Proprietary mud-specific compound
- Tubeless Ready (TLR) tire engineered for easy tubeless setup and puncture protection
- Inner Strength casing is lightweight sidewall protection that's supple and strong
Tubeless-ready tires are compatible with both tubeless-ready and standard rims. When the tire is mounted on a tubeless-ready rim with special tubeless rim tape, valve, and sealant, the tire and rim form an airtight chamber that no longer requires a tube. This lets you run lower tire pressure with less fear of pinch flats and without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction and lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces. The tire can also be used with a tube if you mount it on a standard, non-tubeless-ready rim.

About Us
The Physical Education Department provides a two-year requirement program consisting of a first year, 9th grade, and second year, 10th-12th grade, program, both of which are aligned with the California State Physical Education Content Standards. The first year program focuses on skill development, basic anatomy, nutrition, exercise physiology, biomechanical principals, social development, and self-image through challenge activities and skill units in the Adventure P.E. Program*. The emphasis is on the development of positive self-image by supporting students with knowledge and functional experience that allows them to be succesful regardless of their previous experience.
The second-year program focuses on life-long learning by exposing students to a vareity of lifetime activities at an advanced skill level. Strategies for competition, an understanding of movement patterns and the social aspect of cooperation and support are focus areas for this program. The Physical Education Department also offers three second-year elective classes. The Adventure/Hiking class and the Adventure/Sailing class meet one evening a week and on 14 weekends. A personalized weight training class, Weights to Music, is offered during the school day. All of the above classes satisfy the P.E. 3-4 requirement for graduation.
The Physical Education staff is constantly modifying the program so that it better meets the needs of our students, issues of diversity, cultural attitudes and differences, self-image, respect, responsibility within school and community, all of which has been a deep concern for our staff. Our curriculum provides an ideal situation for our programs to be a vehicle to expose students to issues that are prevalent within our society. Sport and competition carry with it emotions that exceed those typically experienced in other classrooms, therefore, we believe the Physical Education experience is an ideal medium for teaching issues of society through sport and adventure. We feel confident that we are on the threshold of producing a curriculum using techniques from many sources to address sensitive issues that exist at San Rafael High School and in our society at large.

The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation invited architects and planners around the world to participate in an LMDC design study regarding the future of the World Trade Center site and surrounding areas.
"This effort to reach out to the finest architects and planners around the globe significantly expands the search for the best design talent," said LMDC Chairman John Whitehead. "The goal of everyone working on the rebuilding program is to create a truly beautiful and vibrant new Lower Manhattan while appropriately honoring the victims of September 11th."
New York New Visions, a coalition of 21 architecture, engineering, planning, landscape architecture and design organizations, will advise LMDC in selecting up to five teams to prepare additional concept plans for the next phase of the planning process. The teams selected will receive a stipend from the LMDC and be guided by new, flexible program alternatives developed in conjunction with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Since the six initial plans were released in July, the LMDC and Port Authority have received 5,000 suggestions via email through the RenewNYC.com Web site, comments from more than 5,000 participants at the Listening To The City town hall forums, comments from thousands of visitors to the exhibit of the plans at Federal Hall and additional input from LMDC's eight Advisory Councils.
The following ideas will be incorporated into new program alternatives, which will be finalized upon selection of the five teams in September:
- Distinctive Skyline
New York City lost a critical part of its identity when the World Trade Center towers were destroyed. A tall symbol or structure that would be recognized around the world is crucial to restoring the spirit of the city.
- Preference for Recognition of the Tower Footprints
Based on public input, there is a preference for preserving the footprints of the Twin Towers for memorial space and precluding commercial development on those locations.
- Commercial and Retail Space
The Port Authority and LMDC will develop various options for a mixture of commercial and retail space on and/or off the site. These options will establish minimum and maximum square footage for mixed-use development to direct the planners. The ranges of space will be developed prior to the selection of the five teams.
- Grand Promenade on West Street
Connect the future World Trade Center memorial with the ferries in Battery Park to Liberty and Ellis Islands. This grand promenade could reinvent West Street as a wide public boulevard and living memorial and might include depressing some or all of West Street south of Vesey Street.
- New Street Grid
Partially restore the street grid within the former World Trade Center site, which integrates walking and/or driving routes on and to the site.
- Central Transit Center
Create an integrated transit center serving Lower Manhattan for PATH and subway passengers. A grand and visible station is needed to orient travelers and provide a spectacular point of arrival for commuters, tourists, and residents.
- Residential Housing
There is significant demand for residential housing in Lower Manhattan. Planners will explore the possibility of residential housing on and off the site.
- Cultural Elements
Utilize the unique opportunity for building major cultural institutions or a complex. Sites for a museum, performing arts center, or other spaces should be part of the plan.
- Sequence of Public Open Spaces of Different Sizes
In addition to the main memorial space, plans should include public open spaces, eg. parks and plazas, of different sizes and configurations.
The LMDC will release a Request for Qualifications on Monday, Aug. 19, which will be available on LMDC's Web site at www.RenewNYC.com. The study is open to licensed architects and professional planners and landscape architects. Selection criteria includes quality of work product in past projects; innovative and outstanding work that demonstrates unique qualifications; and additional criteria to be developed in conjunction with New York New Visions. The LMDC will work with New York New Visions to appoint a team of outside advisors who will narrow the field of potentially thousands of respondents to between 10 and 20. An LMDC committee will then make the final selection of teams.
The deadline for responses to the RFQ is Sept. 16. Up to five teams will be selected on Sept. 30. The design study concludes in mid-November and by the end of November, all teams must submit final content and presentation materials, including hard-line drawings, free-hand sketches, renderings, computer generated images, and site models. Concurrent with the intensive RFQ design process, LMDC/Port Authority planning staff and consultants, including Beyer Blinder Belle and Peterson Littenberg, will continue to explore varied approaches to the World Trade Center site based on the new program alternatives. All work will be ready for public review by the end of the calendar year, completing the second phase in the three-phase planning process.
The LMDC has partnered with New York New Visions in recognition of the organization's commitment to excellence, as stated in New York New Visions' Principles for the Rebuilding of Lower Manhattan: "New York City should aspire to the highest possible quality of urban planning, architectural and environmental design in rebuilding Lower Manhattan. An architecture that is compelling, meaningful over the long term and culturally ambitious not only respects the past, but also takes great risks to create the future."

Packed in a Laptop Lunches box:
- turkey sandwich on multigrain, hacked into crooked halves with a dull steak knife
- Goldfish crackers
- blackberries
- strawberries
- cheddar cheese stick
- fruit leather, cut with a mini heart shaped cookie cutter
- Odwalla fruit smoothie box
I think this lunch took about 3 minutes to slap toss together. And that's a good thing because it took four times that long to brush the tangles from Paige's hair and another ten to coerce Owen into the polo I had picked out for him. Phew!

How to Make Chocolate Almond Rum Balls for Purim
Chocolate stands for celebrations, and these scrumptious sweets make great additions to the traditional Purim gift boxes of treats — if you manage to resist eating while you're shaping them! The mixture takes moments to make, and you can prepare it from pantry staples, such as leftover cookies, cocoa, chocolate, and nuts. Depending on what you have on hand, you can vary the taste and texture according to your impulse. Graham crackers work well, as do basic sugar cookies and cake crumbs.
Chocolate Almond Rum Balls
Preparation time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Yield: 2-1/2 dozen
Keeping kosher: Dairy when made with butter; pareve if made with pareve margarine
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup sweet wine
2 tablespoons rum
5 tablespoons butter or margarine, room temperature, cut in pieces
1-1/4 cupscookie crumbs (made from 4 to 6 ounces simple, unfilled cookies)
1/2 cup toasted almonds
1 cup coconut
Combine the chocolate, cocoa, sugar, wine, and rum in a heavy, medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring often, until the chocolate melts. Remove from heat and add the butter. Stir the mixture until the butter melts and blends in.
In a food processor, grind the cookies to fairly coarse crumbs. Stir them into chocolate mixture. Add the almonds to the processor and process until finely chopped. Add them to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate the mixture about 30 minutes, or until it is just firm enough to shape in balls.
Prepare a shallow bowl or tray and put the coconut in it. To shape the sweets, take about 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture and roll it quickly in your palms to a smooth ball. Set the ball in the coconut and roll it until it is completely coated. Set it on a plate. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to 1 week before serving. Serve the candies cold or at room temperature, in candy papers.
If you like, substitute orange juice for the wine and the rum. Also, use coconut that is finely grated.

The doctor is out
It's done. The Phillies are planning a press conference for 5 p.m. to unveil ace Roy Halladay as the newest addition to their staff and the Blue Jays will hold a press conference at the same time in Toronto.
After some last-minute drama — online reports indicated that one of the Minor Leaguers involved in the four-team trade between the Jays, Phillies, Mariners and A's failed a physical — the clubs put the finishing touches on the offseason blockbuster.
The breakdown:
To the Phillies from the Blue Jays: Halladay and $6 million
To the Blue Jays from the Phillies: Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor, Travis d'Arnaud
To the Mariners from the Phillies: Cliff Lee
To the Phillies from the Mariners: Phillippe Aumont, Tyson Gillies, J.C. Ramirez
The Blue Jays then traded Taylor to Oakland for prospect Brett Wallace.

Best of luck to Doc, he deserves the chance to pitch in the post season
Who projects to be a better bat Snider or Wallace? anyways i think that this trade plus are surplus of draft picks will go along way to boost our week farm system
Well, I guess this means I'd better go get a Phillies hat……
Good luck Doc! Thanks for the great seasons in TO.
Congratulations to AA for pulling off a trade in which we get a better prospect haul than was gotten for Sabathia, Santana or Lee under very trying circumstances created by his predecessor. Two of three look to be high impact players and the 3rd-d'Arnaud, a solid prospect.
Wallace, Lind and Snider give us 3 power left handed bats all capable of hitting 30-40 home runs a year for many years to come and imo, it's a toss up as to which one will ultimately be the best bat. We will relish going into Yankee stadium in a couple of years after these kids start performing to their capabilities.
Drabek, along with Rzep, Romero, Cecil, Jenkins, Alvarez, Marcum. Litsch and McGowan if he comes back will give us a strong rotation depth, although, it will take until 2011 or 12 to really see this come to pass.
The 9 draft picks we have in the first 3 rounds this year and the fact that most of last years top draftees will only start this year, combined with proper scouting, means we should have strong new prospects entering the system this year. A couple of years like this and our minor league system will be bubbling with talent to consistently supply either new players or trade chips to keep building the team.
I'd say all in all, the future looks bright for the first time for a long long time in Blue Jay land.
Interesting news conference.
I think the Jays scouts believe Wallace will break out this year and potentially become the top hitting prospect in baseball. They could be right, since he's only had 2 years in pro ball and under 800 at bats.
They do believe his best position is at 1st base. They also believe he has more upside than Taylor.
That being said, I expect to see Overbay traded before spring, Dopirak called up giving him an opportunity while Wallace gets more at bats in the minors and spends time adjusting to 1st base. It might be Dopirak takes off and Wallace stays at 3rd making EE a trade chip or it could be both EE and Dopirak are packaged to get a 3rd base prospect with as high of a ceiling as Wallace.
Nice problem to have for a change, when you really think about it.
With all the excitement, permutations and combinations of players, I do hope that Dopriak gets a shot at first. He really has put up some great numbers and deserves to exhibit at the major-league level. Also, if we hope to sign our draft picks, it will take more than money. We need to demonstrate that the Blue Jays' farm system is one where if you play well and excel, you will get a chance to play at the major-league level. Letting Dopriak and some of the other players have their shot will help to build confidence in the system, hopefully increasing our success rate when it comes to signing the picks.
Congrats Doc on the change of uniform . Hopefully this will give you the chance to pitch in the postseason , you have earned it . I will miss watching you at the Rogers Centre but look forward to watching you pitch in the WS .
Just as a side note , I dislike the pic of Doc on the Jays' homepage , he just doesn't look good in red …..blue is a much better colour for him . Wells atleast has 2 arms that are the same colour now so things are looking up …lol
Saw the Jays signed Lance Broadway today. At one time, a pretty promising prospect in the White Sox system found his way on the Mets last year. He hasn't done well enough in the minors to deserve more MLB playing time, but I like how AA is thinking 'out of the box' on this one! The guy is currently doing very well in Venezualan Winter League ball? I don't know how much you can read into that, but here are the numbers.
I could see Broadway starting some games for us this year. One of the funniest lines I've heard in a while came from a guy on another site (MLBtraderumours), saying:
Lance Broadway? The Jays got a porn star?
Burt-AA said Wallace will start in AAA, in order to get some more at bats and get re-acquainted at 1st base, Drabek in AA and d'Arnaud in Dunedin A+.
I expect Drabek to be promoted quickly to AAA, and I think if Overbay is traded and I believe he will be next on the block to go, then I expect Dopirak will open the season with us. If we don't trade Overbay, then maybe they'll move Dopirak over to 3rd base at Vegas for a big chunk of the season.
That's good news, gs.

Fun Team 2010 Forever
Editor's note: For all of the regular readers of this blog, I wrote this specifically for my summer co-workers at the Hudson Valley Renegades. It is filled with inside jokes and memories that I will hold onto for a long time.
It's been a long summer for us, Fun Team. Countless games of whack-an-intern, store your stuff, and put it in the can basically defined my summer. But I'm really glad I got to meet and get to know each and every one of you this summer and I figured I'd write something about everyone to remember this eventful experience.
Here I go…
Jay: You are a good boss. I'm sorry I almost took your head off with that line drive during batting practice before one of the Home Run Derbies. I still laugh when I think about you trying to go around multiple times on the lazy river at Splash Down. That girl should have just let us stay on the ride for as long as we wanted!
Ellissa: I don't know of anyone who could have manned the Pitch For Kids corner like you. Every single game you were in there, rolling dice and handing out prizes. Honestly, I would have gotten bored with it on the second night, but you have a lot of patience, which is admirable.
Jeff Helion: Like Jay, you are a good boss. Tough, but very fair. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom at Lily Logan's that night and I'll certainly use you as a reference for future jobs. "It's not what you know, it's who you know."
E.D.: I'm glad I did this internship because I got to know you. When we were both at OLL, I really didn't know you very well and now I do. You did an excellent job getting the contestants into the pits. "Follow those lads there."
Crash: Thank you for driving me around a few times this summer, especially the night of the party. You did a lot for me these past two months and I'm really glad I met you. I'll never forget the softball game with "The Mad Hatter!!!!" I'm sure I'll be seeing you around Yorktown a lot more now.
Dice: I know I've said this a million times, but I'M SORRY I missed the first Fun Team Frenzy party–words cannot express how disappointed I was that I missed it. I guess I made up for it with the second party, though. Whenever you have your next gathering, just let me know. It doesn't matter what I have going on at the time, I'll be there. I promise.
Kevin: Without any sarcasm, you threw the absolute BEST party I have ever been to in my life. I know I was a little out of it that night, but thank you for not killing me with the arm bar.
Yetti: The water fight we started with Derek Dietrich on your last night (Rain Delay Night) was a lot of fun. You're a funny kid with a great sense of humor. I also laugh every time I look at the picture of you and that random guy who looks like you…Dice: "Yetti, is that your dad???"
Sizzle: Thank you for (at least trying) to get me sober at the party. I enjoyed it when you squirted Jared Sandberg's lineup card with the water gun and Yetti got blamed for it. It's all good, because he later told me he was just messing with us.
Dog: You are a good guy with a lot of hustle (according to Sandberg). The other night when the little kid was asking us for a ball and Sandberg told him to guess your nickname–that was awesome. Especially when he started whistling to give the kid a hint. "Is his name Kyle?" I have no idea where the kid came up with that name. It was so random.
Dan Vincenzi: I had a lot of fun quoting movies and the Andrew Dice Clay/CNN video with you all the time. "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"…"You're supposed to be a news guy. Running a gym???" You also came prepared to the party with the flask of Jameson. That…was epic. You also saved me the first night of training. I couldn't find the Gold's Gym, I crossed paths with you at the Mobil station, and you got me there. What can I say? You ran me to the gym…
Emma: I am truly disappointed that I never got the opportunity to witness (first hand) your amazing pie-eating contest super powers. However, the game that you were Rascal and I was handling you all night was one of my favorite nights of work. I was very happy you didn't fall out of the car during Honda Ball Toss and the two of us got everything right that game.
Marissa: No matter what you say, Dan and I dethroned you and Emma as flip cup champs at the party. In all seriousness though, you are a great person and getting to know you was just awesome. I really enjoyed all of our conversations about our future goals. Just always remember…journalism is better than public relations.
Hort: It's too bad I didn't get a chance to get to know you or talk to you as much as some of the other Fun Teamers. But the night we all had to be mascots was great. I'm sure the crowd laughed when they saw Thomas the Tank Engine (you) dancing with Captain America (me). Driving home that night, I thought to myself, "I'm sure that was a sight to behold for the fans–a train dancing with a super hero."
Ben: You were one of the hardest working members on the entire Fun Team. Giving out those build-a-bears the other night was a pain in the neck, but thankfully we got out of it after awhile. You were a master at selling those tennis balls and you really know how to connect with people.
Louis: I'm really happy that, like Dan Vincenzi, I was able to get you hooked on the "Running a Gym?" quote. I cannot express how much I loved talking about Family Guy and the Chuck Norris jokes every day. I really wish I could have been there when you got pied in the face (for about four straight innings) on Groundhog Day night (I was in Playland). And just so I understand this completely…at no point were you running a gym?
Conor: The first night of training at Gold's Gym, it was really cool to hear that you caught Jorge Posada's grand slam ball. I also think it was cool that you got to drive the player from the Jamestown Jammers to the airport, even though he didn't talk much. You are a really great kid and I'm really happy I met you.
Nick at Nite: Here's to the fastest runner on the Fun Team! I enjoyed both of our races, even though my left knee received extreme physical trauma as a result of our first race. You beat me fair and square in the second race, though. I said last night that you are a good kid and I meant it.
Alex Kamen: I really don't have much to say to you except…we do things the "Alex Kamen way of doing things: guaranteed to work every time." According to Crash, you want us to come to your school to party and visit. Sounds good to me!
Honest Abe: I am not very happy that you left the Fun Team and then showed up to more games after you quit. I really don't think that made a lot of sense and many of the other Fun Teamers were annoyed with the decision you made. But thank you for taking the photo of me in the Captain America costume. It's one of my favorite pictures.
Slim Jim: You made an excellent Rookie on the night of the mascot wedding vow renewal. You are a nice guy and good luck with everything at Penn State.
Stevie Wonder: You are truly talented, my friend. You were the centerpiece of the Thriller dance and the Under the Sea dance. You also have a lot of courage; after all, it takes guts to grab your crotch like Michael Jackson in front of a packed stadium. I enjoyed working with you this summer and your outgoing personality is admirable.
Tyler: It's unfortunate that you could not stay with us for the whole summer. But I am very happy you found another internship with the New York Jets. I really hope that went well for you and good luck up in Cortland.
Padre: I heard stories about your experience from the first Fun Team party and (going back to what I said to Dice) I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I laugh every time I think about you dressed up in the Cookie Monster costume the night of the mascot wedding and you're a good guy. I hope everything works out for you in terms of football.
Bob Hand: You are one of a kind. I'll always remember you for your rally belly and affinity for beer. When the majority of the Fun Team went back to college, you helped us out in a major way. I am sad that the Renegades didn't walk off with any wins toward the end of the season, meaning I didn't get the chance to pie any of the players in the face. I'll get one of them someday, though…
Curious George: I remember (ever so vividly) when you were given your nickname the first night of training at the Dutch. You climbed that gate and Jay called you Curious George. You wanted to be called A.D.D. Adam, but trust me; you went with the better nickname.
J.D.: Your parents are really cool. They went out of their way to feed us sandwiches and cookies that one night, which was very thoughtful. And you are a lot like your parents J.D., because you are really cool. But we are never putting you in the ticket office again. "So that's what that button does…"
Little Lurch: I will say that you are a little strange (dressing up in all those crazy costumes) but you have a lot of spirit. I would have never gotten on the dugout to pump up the crowd the way you did; your actions showed a lot of heart. We also made a great team bagging and numbering tennis balls.
Jeff Allison: The best memory I have with you is probably the party. Like Sizzle, you were valiantly trying to sober me up and I really enjoyed working with you.
Lucas: Technically, you weren't on the Fun Team but you helped me out a lot when you weren't in the Rascal costume. I loved handling the mascots because you never complicated anything; it was a simple job and it never became difficult. Plus, the mascot dance parties were always great. I'm glad I met you this summer and good luck with running track at Lourdes (my alma mater, as I always pointed out when you mentioned school). I loved when me and you (Rascal) played frisbee on the field before baseball buddies and the reliever intercepted your throw. Good times.
And last, but never the least…
Bri-man: We had a great team, and a great team is nothing without a great captain. After every game you gave us motivation to keep moving forward with your speeches, which meant a lot to every Fun Teamer. We would have been nothing without you this season and it was so nice getting to know you, Bri-man. I have learned that you have a great heart and a sensitive soul, but you also possess a deep passion for success.
We had a great run this summer and I will never forget this experience. There's not much left to say except…
Fun Team 2010 Forever.
