Vincent Willem van Gogh (185-1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work greatly influenced Twentieth Century fine art. He painted landscapes, still lifes, and figures including many self-portraits. Perhaps as just as famous as his art, van Gogh struggled for many years with deteriorating mental health, producing some of his most famous works in the last years of his life only to eventually succumb to the illness by committing suicide. Van Gogh's most famous works include Starry Night, Vase with Twelve Sunflowers, Bedroom in Arles, Skull of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette, The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night.

Today one of our blogger's, Sandoval, gives a few tips about his personal style for spring:
"If one thing's absolute by now, it's that denim work shirt have transitioned from "work" to no-fail chic. In fact, it's become a transitional piece between casual and luxe style. And for those of you fashion junkies like me whose personal style is in the midst of these two, this a pretty amazing thing. The key to merging two distinct aesthetics and highlighting both at the same time is to keep things simple. Here I've paired a light washed denim work shirt with a pair of slightly high-waisted, cropped white trousers. Opting to keep the color palette on the neutral side and light really helps to establish a fresh and spring-ready mood.
[nggallery id=105]
The thoroughly buttoned shirt with slightly rolled up sleeves and cropped pants keep things modern, while the nude oxfords and a gold watch add just enough interest. The overall subtle approach really gives you room to take this look pretty much to any extreme. Add a thin belt in a bold primary color for a super trendy look or nix the dress shoes and throw on a pair of gladiator-style sandals to casual it up a bit more. No matter what you'll still manage to keep an overall luxe feel as long as you keep it clean and keep it simple!

Preview of a Forthcoming COPS Book:
Building Our
Way Out of Crime: The Promise of Police-Community Developer
The old saying goes, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." But what if the right tool for the job is a hammer, and the only tools you have are a badge and a gun?
Police departments around the nation have been discovering they can "build" their way out of crime problems that they have been unable to arrest their way out of. And they have been doing it by working with nonprofit community developers—local builders and organizations whose goal is to transform their own blighted neighborhoods into more livable, healthy communities.
Addressing the Crime-Blight and Safety-Revitalization Cycles. Police leader Bill Bratton and community development leader Paul Grogan argue in their foreword to our forthcoming book, Building Our Way Out of Crime that crime is one of the greatest obstacles to community development and that community deterioration is one of the greatest generators of crime. They also say: "[O]ur decades of work in two separate fields—urban policing and grassroots community economic development—tell us … that cops and community developers can contribute mightily to halting and reversing the spiral of 'disorder and decline' … in poor neighborhoods throughout America."
Not surprisingly, therefore, revitalization has become easier in many places where crime has substantially declined, and where revitalization has flourished, crime has declined. Yet Bratton and Grogan observe: "[I]n most urban centers in the United States, police and grass-roots developers have been doing their good work in isolation from one another." Police and developers can get far more done working together than either could accomplish alone. So the question is not whether police and developers welcome each others' accomplishments when those accomplishments happen to coincide. The question is whether they—and mayors and other public policymakers—want to reap the fullest benefits of high-impact public safety-community development partnerships by proactively organizing and supporting them.
Evidence from Three Cities. The answer becomes resoundingly clear in this book's case studies of police-community developer partnerships in three cities—Charlotte, North Carolina; Providence, Rhode Island; and Minneapolis, Minnesota: be proactive in launching and strategic and business-like in running these mega problem-solving partnerships. That prescription comes from police leaders Darrel Stephens, Dean Esserman, Tim Dolan, and Sharon Lubinski and from expert community developers Patricia Garrett, Frank Shea, Barbara Fields, and Theresa Carr. As Bratton and Grogan observe, the cases—each running about 100 pages—show that "so much can be accomplished to stabilize low-income communities when police (and prosecutors and other public safety practitioners) and locally credible developers work together in the same places at the same time…." Figure 1 shows the remarkable public safety outcomes achieved in the three case study sites, and the photo montages illustrate the simultaneous housing and commercial revitalization results.
Figure 1
Large, multiyear improvements in public safety indicators followed community developer-police joint action to replace crime-generating commercial and residential properties with high-quality affordable housing and safety- and commerce-generating businesses. In Charlotte, North Carolina's Druid Hills neighborhood, crime and calls for service (CFS) fell between 1998 and 2006 in three focus areas (the "Park," "Kohler Avenue," and "Olando Street" areas) considerably outpacing a comparison neighborhood and Mecklenburg County overall. In Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood, between 2002 and 2007 reported crime, calls for service, and arrests related to a previously out-of-control street drug market declined in a 16 square-block area (with annual calls to police about narcotics problems in this zone dropping from 291 to 5). Progress in this focus zone substantially exceeded that in the entire Minneapolis police precinct serving Phillips. In Providence, Rhode Island's Olneyville neighborhood, in two focus areas (the "hotspots" and "revitalization" areas) double-digit reductions occurred in levels of crime and calls for service between 2002 and 2007— as in the other study sites, far surpassing the improvements in public safety indicators for the police district and neighborhood overall.
In all three of these trailblazing cities, the strategy is essentially the same: bad places—ones that generated or enabled considerable crime and blight—were physically converted into neighborhood assets, places that bring highly desired commerce and/or quality, affordable housing to neighborhoods. Those new assets, in turn, help to reduce crime and disorder, thereby fostering sustainable revitalization. Not only is the cycle of crime and blight interrupted, a new powerful cycle of safety and livability is set in motion.
Multiple Benefits of Proactive Police-Community Developer Partnerships. The "wins" come on many fronts, as Bratton and Grogan enumerate: "[T]hese collaborations … reduce crime; replace problem properties with quality, affordable housing; attract viable businesses in previously blighted commercial corridors; make more strategic and efficient use of public and private-sector resources; and build public confidence in and cooperation with local government and private organizations." Given this remarkable track record, they recommend that "police and development organizations, propelled by results-driven, fiscally responsible leaders, … devise and adhere to new standard operating procedures that launch and support police-developer activities that are conducted—and analyzed—in an accountable, business-like way."
Turning around a Crime-plagued Neighborhood through Commercial Corridor Redevelopment, Supported by Police
In Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood, one convenience store/gas station at the busy intersection of East Franklin Avenue and 11th Avenue South (top photo) plagued the community, generating 517 calls for police service during 1999 alone, including drug dealing, prostitution, theft, and violence. A powerful partnership between Great Neighborhoods! Development Corporation (GNDC) and the Minneapolis Police Department completely transformed the intersection and seven entire city blocks on both sides of the intersection. Replacing the convenience store crime hotspot is one of the most popular and successful wholesale and retail bakeries in the Twin Cities—the Franklin Street Bakery. Erecting the bakery literally "built away" the crime hot spot and provided an economic engine to this low-income community, bringing legitimate family activity, safety-generating "busy streets," wholesome food, commerce, and dozens of new jobs for neighborhood residents. CPTED design features include large windows, enabling bakery workers to keep watchful eyes on the streets. Roger Beck Florist, another GNDC-developed business at this same intersection, also helped cut crime and revitalize the neighborhood when it replaced a troublesome bar and unsuccessful credit union. (Photos: top, GNDC, 2002; bottom, Bill Geller, 2008)
The new operating procedures and business practices that seem to work well in these long-term collaborations are described and prescribed in several chapters in this forthcoming volume. As the case studies show, one size does not fit all police departments. The police played a variety of roles in these neighborhood transformations, some labor intensive, some not. But in all cases, the police were willing and able to come to and stay at the table because they took the time to understand what high-capacity community developers can do and how that work can facilitate the success of police missions. And they devoted serious effort to form trusting, collaborative relationships with the developers.
For the police, finding the right community developer as an active problem-solving partner can be a complex, crucial step in the process. By asking detailed questions and prudently deploying resources, police can identify and productively engage with community developers who are ready, willing, and able to physically transform properties that generate pernicious and persistent crime problems.
These Partnerships Can Solve Persistent Problems at Lower Cost. Even though there are thousands of community development corporations (CDCs) nationwide, robust developer-police partnerships of the sort documented in this book are not yet the modus operandi in most cities. But if police are willing to coordinate their crime-control efforts in a synergistic way with a talented CDC's development agenda, working relationships can be forged that substantially—and cost-effectively—advance the core goals of both police and developers. When police and developers work together well by following a rational and proven process, their strategies can become mutually reinforcing, with declining crime spurring development and development driving down crime.
The attraction of these effects and efficiencies to savvy police and developers is powerful and straightforward. As a lieutenant in Providence put it simply: "Community developers make my job easier."
From Brownfield and Crime Hotspot to Sprouting Community
In Providence, an environmentally and criminally hazardous site gave way to Riverside Park, a bike path, and new affordable homes whose residents enjoy the park and help keep watch to ensure it remains safe and attractive. The homes, shown during construction and completed in 2007, were developed by Olneyville Housing Corporation (OHC) in active collaboration with the Providence Police Department. (Photos: before, OHC; after, Bill Geller)
Greater evaluative rigor will be a key step in the widespread propagation of the collaborative strategy we advocate because additional learning is needed in several arenas, including the nuts and bolts of teamwork required to turn around distressed neighborhoods. Nevertheless, we feel a cautious confidence, based on our 15 years of work with such partnerships and the evidence emanating from the case studies, in recommending continued and expanded investments of time, talent, and financing in community development-public safety collaborations. Such investments are vital in the challenging economic climate facing the nation, as Bratton and Grogan conclude:
"[T]hese collaborations are necessary not only because they are effective, but also because shrinking public resources require them. We can think of no better investment at the neighborhood level than a well-conceived, ongoing alliance between dedicated cops and high-capacity grassroots community developers."
They commend this strategy to public officials at all levels of government:
"As the case studies make clear, very impressive turnarounds take several years—but they can be accomplished within four-year election cycles…. [N]ewly elected public officials—from mayors to the President—and their experts on public safety and neighborhood development can hit the ground running and take practical steps that support robust public-private collaborations. *** The innovative linkage of hard-working, results-oriented police and community developers—organizing them to pull in the same direction at the same time—produces the multiplier effect that Geller and Belsky so appropriately highlight…. With a national and city-by-city commitment to replicate and adapt the kind of collaborations described here, we believe long suffering urban neighborhoods—which influence their city's overall well-being in many ways—will be the beneficiaries for years to come. *** [With this book, the COPS Office] offers an effective and practical road map we can follow to knock crime down and keep it down in low-income neighborhoods."
Authors: Bill Geller and Lisa Belsky co-founded 15 years ago—and continue to work actively in many cities with—the Community Safety Initiative of the nation's largest community development umbrella organization, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation.

Six penalties form Gareth Steenson proved enough for Exeter Chiefs to secure a 18-16 Premiership victory away to Sale Sharks.
Six penalties form Gareth Steenson proved enough for Exeter to secure a 18-16 Premiership victory over Sale Sharks at AJ Bell Stadium on Friday.
Exeter cemented their place in the Premiership's top four with a solid if unspectacular victory.
Steenson's 100 percent kicking record, as well as three first half yellow cards for Sharks, helped Rob Baxter's men to their third win in as many games, despite a late fight back from the hosts, as Steve Diamond's men failed to bounce back from last week's defeat to Harlequins.
After Steenson and Danny Cipriani had traded early penalties, Sale's indiscipline started to give the Chiefs the advantage.
Steenson added a further six points to his tally within the space of three minutes after Vadim Cobilas was sent to the bin for killing the ball.
After Cipriani missed the chance to level the scores at 9-9, two yellow cards in four minutes helped extend Exeter's lead. First, Tommy Taylor was sent to the sidelines after referee Wayne Barnes consulted with the TMO, followed soon after by Kirill Kulemin.
Steenson profited from Sharks' depleted numbers, adding two more penalties as the Chiefs went into the break leading by 15-6.
As Sale came out looking to stage a second half comeback, Diamond's frustration at Exeter's scrum tactics continued to grow, resulting in an angry exchange with one of Wayne Barnes' assistants.
Cipriani's 75th minute penalty looked to have given Sharks renewed hope, only for his side to concede another three points to the deadly boot of Steenson, who made it six from six on the night.
But Mark Cueto's late try in the corner – his fourth touchdown of the season – saw Sale pick up a losing bonus point.
The scorers:
For Sale:
Try: Cueto
Con: Cipriani
Pens: Cipriani 3
Yellow cards: Cobilas, Taylor, Kulemin
For Exeter:

"I ordered the yellow version and they are very pretty shoes. They were tight on the toes when I first wore them but are looser after some wearing, and they fit true to size. One of the studs has come off the back (I don't know if it fell off on its own or otherwise), but I doubt anyone notices."

"Purchased shoe in August and now able to wear my flats. This shoe is a beautiful mustard color. Fits true to size. I wear a 9 in all shoes and this fits perfectly. I love the detail of the studs on the back of the shoe so fashionable. I am so glad I picked up several colors in this brand. They look simply amazing! They slip on easily and you are on the go!

In the production of coal, men do battle with nature every day. This fight allows the rest of us to enjoy a quality of life never before achieved by mankind. Accordingly the men owning and working in the mines have to reach a level of professionalism not required of many vocations. Although the daily work can become routine a miner is always aware everything can change in an instant.
In mining decisions are made constantly, which if made incorrectly, can result in injury and loss of life. It is good and intelligent people who shoulder this responsibility and live with it daily.
Sometimes it can go bad, as we have recently seen. I am sure our miners will look at everything that has happened and learn from it. Others are also looking at what has happened. Hopefully they will not begin their inquiry with the assumption, as some have done, that negligence or greed is the cause.
It has been said the mountain embracing the Crandall Canyon Mine is evil. I personally do not believe so. I think it is a creation of God simply acting in nature's sometimes unforgiving manner. Yet if through some mechanism it became evil, there is no doubt, in my mind, that it remains so.
The bodies of the men entombed in the mountain, the lives given, bodies broken, and worked performed in the rescue attempt, the love of all their families, and the faith of the community have certainly purged the evil from the mountain.
So again, the soil, rock, water, and coal of that mountain, are as pure as the day God created them.

Eurovision: The Aftermath – and the After-Maths
The glitter has all been swept up from the B&W Hallerne in Copenhagen, Europe's hairspray manufacturers are contemplating their sales figures with glee, and your correspondents are reflecting on what the Eurovision Song Contest means as a parent – but there's a second act to this year's show.
Conchita Wurst, the luxuriantly-bearded drag queen representing Austria, stormed to victory on Saturday night. Since then, Russians have been shaving off their beards in protest, celebrity chefs have been photoshopping them on, and her song "Rise like a Phoenix" (yes, it's "phoenix" for those who misheard on TV) is racing up the charts.
As regular readers will know, jury votes were reintroduced in 2009 to counteract accusations that Eurovision was all about voting for the neighbours. The final result is decided 50/50 between the professionals and the public, who phone and text in their votes. But 2014 is the first year the jury names were released to the public – and that means there's an unprecedented amount of information for Eurovision geeks to pore over.
Getting in there early with some incisive analysis of European attitudes to Conchita's gender-bending act is Alan Renwick, Associate Professor in the Politics and International Relations department at the UK's Reading University. He's crunched the numbers and shown it's the public, not professionals that love Conchita – she didn't make the top five of the jury vote in sixteen countries.
"And here there does seem to be more of an east–west split: seven of the nine countries giving Austria no votes on this measure are in the former communist world (San Marino and, surprisingly, Germany are the exceptions)"
But while Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Belarus all put Conchita among the lowest placed acts, it's worth thinking about tactics as well. Having been in the arena during rehearsals, Conchita was by far the crowd's favorite. So, say, Armenia – topped by bookies for success before ending up in fourth place – wouldn't want to give huge points to a rival. That's possibly overly cynical of your correspondent — but then we're talking about Eurovision, so anything's possible. Including a mass gay wedding.
Worth noting: There is a certain threshold in every country for the minimum amount of televotes for a valid vote. This was not reached in Albania and San Marino, so they voted on juries alone. Georgia, meanwhile, only had a public vote. That's the same Georgia which got chucked out over an anti-Putin song in 2009 so let's just say their approach to the rules is, ahem, flexible.
What other insight can we gain from the voting breakdown? For more, click here.

Totally awesome!
Anyways I really wonder whether the plantlike form is the Juubi's final transformation. I guess that would explain why it has a Plant Bulb on it's back, and why Mokuton could affect it and its offspring bijuu.
In effect, could the Sharingan and the Mokuton and maybe the Rinnegan too, come from the Juubi? If so, it still begs how the SO6p Overcomes the Juubi?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
^That is a very interesting idea. I've always wondered what the ability to control wood had to do with controlling the Biju, but I guess if the Juubi himself is a tree, the wood control would be very effective. Kind of weird to think of Kurama being made out of wood.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
whether one calls this weeks chapter epic or not, there is no denying that is was a truly kickass chapter. My favourite part was Kakashi laying the verbal smack down on Obito. The part where he turned Obito's shinobi trash talk back onto Obito by calling him the worst was truly top notch. Oh and the Juubi is one step away from it's final form, sounds like a perfect time for Sasuke and pals and previous Hokage to show up and to give Madara some much needed grief.
Speaking of holes, why can't just Obito and Kakashi get together and fill each other's holes?
So when Madara wondered about the Juubi sensing the Bijuu within Naruto, was "Bijuu" singular (as in Kyuubi) or plural (as in Msdara probably knows more than we do about Naruto's gift from the Nime Names).
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Besides, Naruto isn't the only Jinchurki the Jyubi is facing off, yet it is wholeheartedly concentrating on Naruto, which he wouldn't do if Naruto had nothing more than half-of-Kyubi.
It's Madara after all. He most likely has a jutsu or two that can take care of the situation if the push came to shove.
It will be awesome to see a fight where Madara and the Hogakes wont need to retain or control their chakras.

We've been hearing a lot lately about the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for cancer survivors. Excess weight and obesity can make a difference in outcomes for cancer patients.
The research is strong for a few cancers in particular, including breast, colon, uterine, kidney and esophageal cancers. Extra pounds can boost the harmful effects of hormones such as estrogen and insulin and may cause excess inflammation in the body.
We have much to learn about how excess weight influences the development and recurrence of cancers. However, considering that excess weight can also increase your risk for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and mobility problems, if you're a survivor and overweight, it might be time to make a few changes.
As a cancer survivor, your weight may fluctuate quite a bit — especially during treatment. Steroids, lack of sleep, and stress can all have an effect on weight. It's best to wait until your treatment is completed to make long-term changes that are needed to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
Here are a few ideas to try:
I plan to check in with you regularly on this topic. I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to post ideas to add to this list. What's worked for you?

Here's what's new in the Mediterranean pyramid:
All plant foods — fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes, seeds, olives and olive oil — are grouped together and form the largest part of the pyramid.
Herbs and spices are now part of the pyramid. They add flavor and aroma and reduce the need for fat and salt when cooking.
Fish and shellfish are recommended more often, at least twice a week, in recognition of their unique health benefits.
The pyramid still emphasizes:
Being physically active and enjoying meals with others as the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.
Choosing the least processed forms of plant foods. Fresh, raw and lightly cooked vegetables, fruits and whole grains retain fiber and most of their nutrients.
Using olive oil for cooking, baking, and for dressing salads and vegetables. Extra virgin olive oil is highest in monounsaturated fat and phytonutrients.
Enjoying cheese and yogurt in moderation — preferably low-fat versions.
Serving poultry more often than red meat. Lean red meat should be limited to several times a month.
"Nutrition is one way people have direct control over the quality of their lives," she says. "I hope to translate the science of nutrition into ways that people can select and prepare great-tasting foods that help maintain health and treat disease."
Hi everyone...great discussion! At our Mayo Clinic Living with Cancer Patient conference last week we discussed the benefits of following a Mediterranean diet. It is one of the best ways to control weight and eat healthy. Check out the Nutrition-wise blog post at this link on Mayoclinic.com http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mediterranean-diet-pyramid/my00663
What do you think? Have any of you tried following this diet?
Hi i have Breast Cancer and i had a lump removed in OCTOBER 2011,then i am taking 20 treatments of radiation then i take tamoxifen for 5 years.This is for HILDA i would really like your input about loosing weight.
I'm new to blogging & I'm not complaining (at all) but, I was wondering if any Mayo doctors/nurses ever respond to our questions/comments/troubles from cancer? I haven't seen a response from this nurse, Sheryl Ness, yet either. It's great to hear from so many of "us" going through cancer but, when do we hear from the professionals? A little helping hand ("professional support" from doctors/nurses who have seen & heard it all!) would be so appreciated. Example: my friend suggested that I "bring milk just to a boil, let it cool down BEFORE you drink it & it'll help ease the stomach & diarrhea." So, I read on line that "boiling milk" changes its' chemistry & it helps with diarrhea. It did help my husband! So, some of the old medical "home tested" therapies/treatments are proven to help. With my Mom in heaven, I don't get the "Dr. Mom" advice anymore. Harmless hints...such as "boiling milk"...could be shared amongst us & used with common sense. Do we always have to pay for professional "Dr. Mom" remedies? I'm not suggesting that we forgo our Doctors. I think the world of our doctor. All I'm saying is: "eat a tablespoon of yellow mustard to relieve a charlie horse cramp!" It works, I've tried it & I hate yellow mustard. Oh well, here's to 2012 & looking forward to some sensible home grown remedies/secrets to help relieve some after effects of che
i have done my chemo/radiation for my cervix for few months now but still i put my weight and i did asked my doctor and he told it could be on my thyroid medicine...
I am so incredibly fortunate to have so much time to exercise... My daily routine includes a mile long swim, yoga and walking. being a survivor has taken my level to new heights.
In a way, my cancer saved me from my life as it was:)
I appreciate every information , though I sometimes file the good advice, I need the continuing help.. thank you
After my chemo treatments were over I had lost almost 30lbs. having no appetite. I joined the livestrong program and go 3 times a week. I eat 3 times a day, not because I am hungry just by the clock. I now weigh 135.I had gone down to 121, so I am improving and hope to stay at this weight.Exercise helps!
Maintaing a normal weight after cancer/chemotherapy treatments is very hard. You are dealing with lack of energy, stress, trouble sleeping probably depression.
Is there any any research/info on weight and ovarian cancer survival?
Hi Diane,
I have lymphoma and finished chemo a year ago. i am now doing rituxin every 3 months.
my problem is not being able to lose any weight. I walk/run 20 - 25 miles a week and do strength training with a trainer 2 - 3 times a week. i eat sensibly/actually pretty healthy and limit to no more than 1500 cals a day. I have done this for two months steady...and have not lost an ounce. Any advice
I have colon cancer, with a tumor very low on my bowel, almost rectal like your husband, with similar pains. and loss of control. Still doing chemo. I have lost around 90 lbs. I need a weight gain diet, which does not cause me to run. I am not at a point where I can exercise.
But I would offer that there are many cancer survivors who need to gain weight, not lose more. And we need to gain with a wide range of needs, such as low or no fiber.
It's been a year since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, stage 1; had lumpectomey and underwent 7 weeks of radiotheraphy, and is now on Tamoxifen 20 mg daily. I took a conscious effort to lose some extra pounds and it's been an overwhelming success since then--lost 20 lbs already simply by walking every morning, cutting my rice intake and eating lots of leafy green vegetables. My goal is to shed off 20 lbs more from my current 140. I love myself (and my family) even more now so I am determined to make my body healthy and cancer-free forever. Think positive! You can do it!
Many YMCAs have the Livestrong Program, an exercise program designed for cancer survivors that takes into account the losses in muscle mass or joint issues leftover from chemo and surgery. It's been great for me. I lost a total of 24 pounds during my treatment putting me in the "underweight" class of BMI. I wanted to regain some wieght but did it be regaining muscle, not trying to eat my way to weight gain. Also, my diet is lean protein plus veggies, if still hungry, a little fruit, and very little grain other than quinois and amaranth. Take your body weight, divide in half, that's how many grams of protein you need a day. Get it from lean chicken, fish, eggs, beans, legumes, nuts or grains high in protein mentioned above. I am 18 months from the end of my treatment and have never felt healthier. Plus my hair grew at hyperspeed!
I had lost 8kgs. from the date of my diagnosis of breast cancer 18months ago.It's been a year after the chemo treatment and I managed to keep off the weight because my doctors say I can lost a few pounds but NOT gain. I keep saying to myself that if it is something I CAN CONTROL, I WILL because weight gain or to be overweight increases the risk of recurrence. With this in mind,it helps me keep in track with the "more vegetables and fruits" diet.
I finished chemo one year ago for lymphoma and was doing great until this summer when i had a set back with abdominal issues....So through that I lost weight again....not after trying to get back to a healthy weight I find myself getting to comfortable with the fattening foods, so i went to wright watchers not so much to lose weight but to track what I eat and to eat healthier with less sugars. I feel amazing after two weeks of doing it. It is a great program.!
I read in Discover Magazine that the odor of peppermint oil can help reduce the urge to overeat (average 2800 cal.per week less). Not sure if it isn't psychological but it does seem to be helping me.
I got a new Iphone a few months ago, there is an app, it is free, called "my fitness pal" It is so easy to keep a diary of foods you eat, Definitely helping me keep track.
Re Susan's comment - I was interested in your hypothesis of a peak recurrence period and did some searching about it. I saw several articles that indicated a peak up to year two and then another at year 5.
Keep up your good work - I am closing in on year 5 and have lost 30lbs since the end of my treatment (treadmill and weight bearing resistance training) and am no longer osteopenic.
Good luck!
A year ago, I finished radiation therapy for breast cancer. I taake tamoxofen 20mgs a day, try to eat and sleep well, go for walks e.d. and I feel very well. Hope to go on like this.
I finished treament two months ago. After chemo and radiation I have started to gain weight after losing 20 lbs. I really don't want to add any pounds. I am happy with my weight now, so I plan to keep it that way. Thanks for your suggestions.
My husband is having the opposite problem. He cannot gain weight. He had rectal cancer, his rectum was removed and has a j-pouch now. He's a 4-yr cancer survivor. He has extreme pain with abdomin pain and Bowel Movements. We think that there is a link between the chemo's after effect on the intestines so, does anyone know how to combat chemo intestines? I've heard of a breast cancer survivor that has had bowel/intesintal issues for 8-yrs and that's 8-yrs a cancer survivor. So, how many people suffer with chemo intestines issues and what can be done to fix/repair the chemo damage on ones intestines? Thanx...Diane
I love to walk outside..but with the coming of several inches of snow today I joined our university's rec center to continue walking safely on an indoor track and take advantage of resources of a nutritionist and trainer.
I am a breast cancer survivor who needs to lose 40 pounds to get to my ideal weight. It has been a little over a year since the end of active treatment. Frankly, last year I was too depressed to find the willpower to change my bad habits. Now I am eating differently and exercising but it is a slow process and at this rate it will take at least 6 months if not longer to lose all the weight. I read that breast cancer recurrence increases in year two and peaks in year three. Is that correct? Is there anything more/different I should be doing? Thanks!

Hot on the heels of the super fun and challenging Doom project that pushed mappers to get inside the minds of revolutionaries in game design comes the natural sequel to Doom The Way id Did. Join us as we continue on the exciting journey to recreate retro-authentic mapping gold. This time there will be more map designer styles to emulate, more abstract warped-reality levels to explore, more monsters to thwart the player in new, devilish ways, and new mapping design concepts to rediscover and draw from as we meticulously strive to recreate the Doom II experience. If you're up for a different kind of mapping challenge and missed the first DTWiD project, try your hand at a map for Doom II The Way id Did.

NYC, college students, parties, random hookups and a pair of missing jeans, come full circle in MTV's new original series I just want my pants back, a television remake of David J Rosen's (who also happens to be the show's producer) famous novel. The show follows Jason Strider a 20 something yr old college graduate who has an unexpected one night stand with Annie, who then borrows his jeans in a rush and only to never return them. Annie's contact information turns out to be erroneous, leaving Jason with no apparent way to find her. Thus leading to the seemingly never-ending quest for Jason's jeans and so to speak, himself along the way. Set in Greenpoint Brooklyn, this comical and quite amusing, coming of age series, makes our relationship with our denim just that much stronger. (Who would have thought all that conviction and love would go into getting our favorite pair of jeans back?) Full season episodes are set to start this coming January, we'll be watching, will you? Check out a sneak preview below.

Ravenous for new running shoes...totally worth it!
"I absolutely love these sneakers! I had my previous Nike's for 2 years, and I was really picky about the next Nike shoe I purchased because my old Nike's were reallllly comfy, and I was afraid no other shoe would live up to them. These shoes, however, are great! They are not my 'old' Nike shoes, but they are just as comfy and are light, which is perfect for me since I like to run. They are highly recommended!"

Great shoe, good price

Report Card Day: Defense and goalies
Ryan Lambert
April 16 2011 09:58AM
Now obviously it would be at least semi-reasonable to throw a blanket over everything with something like a D+ grade for everyone, and I'd probably get very little in the way of argument from anyone who watched this team for 82 games. It wasn't, to put it lightly, a pretty season.
But not EVERYONE had a bad year. No, no, it's true. Not everyone did. Odd though that may seem. So today, let's go through the defense and goaltending to make sure each and every performance is given its due, good OR bad (mostly bad).
(Please note that all players are listed alphabetically, and that each had to have played 33 games, or 40 percent of the season, to get what I consider a fair grade, relative to expectations. Except in the case of goaltenders and players traded to the team, in which case they're all getting a grade because I don't care.)
Player: Anton Babchuk
Stats: 65 games played, 8-19-27, plus-18
Summary: Before we start here I have to say that I really liked Anton Babchuk when he was with the Hurricanes. Not irresponsible defensively and he can shoot the puck through a wall. Calgary got a pretty good amount of that outta him as well, as he led the team in plus-minus (a dubious stat because they kind of sheltered him, but what the heck?) and was pretty much exactly what you want out of an offensive D-man who floats between the first and second power play units.
Grade: B+
Player: Jay Bouwmeester
Stats: 82 GP, 4-20-24, minus-2
Summary: I get it now. Jay Bouwmeester is being paid too much, not because he's a bad defenseman, but because he was brought in to play a role that he can't play. He's not the great two-way defenseman he was advertised to be. He is, however, one of the best shutdown guys in the league and he devours minutes like Pacman eats white dots. I love Jay Bouwmeester, but I just wish he could score goals half as competently as he's paid to do.
Grade: B
Player: Mark Giordano
Stats: 82 GP, 8-35-43, minus-8
Summary: One of the very few ultra-shrewd moves Darryl Sutter made was signing this guy long-term for Robyn Regehr money, because he's a slightly less defensive version of what we all thought Bouwmeester would be. This guy is unreal. Can't say enough good things about his play, particularly in the offensive zone, and all over the ice as well.
Grade: A
Player: Robyn Regehr
Stats: 79 GP, 2-15-17, plus-2
Summary: You know what's realllllly crazy? This is almost the exact same season, statistically, that he had last year. Same goals, assists and plus-minus. Almost the same number of shots. Almost the same shooting percentage. Nine seconds short of having the same average TOI. That's crazy. But at the same time, he also improved his defensive game considerably, at least in my estimation, from a down year in his own zone. And so where I gave him a C- last season, this year I guess I have to bump that up a little bit more than I would have expected. This is exactly the Robyn Regehr we're going to want to see going forward: not exceeding expectations but definitely meeting them.
Grade: C+
Player: Cory Sarich
Stats: 76 GP, 4-13-17, plus-11
Summary: A much better season from Sarich than I think anyone expected. He was never glaringly bad for especially long stretches (though the cry of "What the HECK, Sarich?" was known to escape my lips more than a few times during the course of the season, only it was appreciably stronger than "heck"). He didn't look completely incompetent in the offensive zone. He kept embarrassing, ECHL-level turnovers to a minimum. He's still massively overpaid, but we already knew that.
Grade: C
Player: Steve Staios
Stats: 39, 3-7-10, plus-6
Summary: I know I've given out a lot of surprisingly good grades here, and… well, I'm about to do it again. I know, I know. Staios, like Sarich, wasn't a glaringly awful blight on the blue line this year. As with Sarich, he didn't play nearly as well as his terrible contract stated he should, and he's just old and slow, but at least he was reliable, which is more than you can say for last year. I mean, $2.7 million should buy you a lot more than this, but at least only like 65 percent of that money was completely flushed down the toilet this time around.
Grade: C-
Player: The Rest (TJ Brodie, Brett Carson, Brendan Mikkelson, Adam Pardy and Ian White)
Stats: Pardy almost made the cut with 30 games played.
Summary: None of these guys were especially good or bad. I actually thought Brendan Mikkelson deserved more of a shot than he received, but apparently that view was not shared by a Mr. B. Sutter. I will say this, though: the Ian White experiment was one of the worst things about this season. He was embarrassingly bad, and there's a reason he's been on three different NHL teams this season. Again, I know plus-minus is a weak stat, but you almost have to go out of your way to be a minus-10 in 16 games on a team that's even slightly better than the Oilers. There's also a reason that the team defense got immediately better after he was shipped out of town.
Grade: Incomplete
Player: Miikka Kiprusoff
Stats: 71 GP, 2.63 goals-against average, .906 save percentage
Summary: Those numbers don't look like they deserve the grade I'm about to give him, but as with last year, if Kiprusoff is even 10 percent worse in any area this season, we're talking Custer's Last Stand levels of ugly, unmitigated disaster. He had an awfully bad team in front of him for the first third of the season at least. He's still very good, but you wonder what the season would have been like if he had one or two fewer ugly nights at the office.
Grade: B
Player: Henrik Karlsson
Stats: 17 GP, 2.58 GAA, .908 sv%
Summary: Pretty good rookie season for the kid, even if he is 42 years old. Unlike last year with McElhinney, you never white-knuckled your way through one of his meager few starts, and people who know a lot about goaltending seem to think he's a perfectly capable backup going forward as well. If he's only going to start 10 or so games a year anyway, it can be him, and that'd be fine.
Grade: B+
Later this week: forward grades, which won't be as nice. Then a little after that: coaching and GMing, which will be even worse.
Wow, you sure are in a good mood, huh?
Honestly I can't argue too much with your grades. Staios...well...I had many nights watching him yelling "What the F are your doing???"
Babchuk, if you consider his role I can agree with that grade I guess. I still wouldn't go over 1.5 for this gentleman.
At $3,700,000 Cory Sarich is definitely overpaid,but at least he's an NHLer.(most nights) Wade Redden, $6,500,000 Sheldon Souray, $4,500,000 Mike Commodore, $3,800,000 Jeff Finger, $3,500,000
April 17 2011, 04:07PM
@Ryan Lambert
I daresay Sarich was a rather large problem on many nights. He didn't make hundreds of mistakes, but when he did make them they were always doozies that generally ended up as a goal against.
Souray is the third highest ppg defenseman in the past 4 years. Search... Is garbage
Souray is the third highest ppg defenseman in the past 4 years. Search... Is garbage
Souray also now plays in the minors. Thanks for coming out.
I agree with these rankings in general as well. Of the also-rans, I like what Pardy and Carson did in their short visits. The GM should expect B or higher (hypothetically) and the cut line should be there.
April 18 2011, 08:45AM
Babs pleasantly surprised and was a bit better than expected, which deserves a B+.
We know what to expect from JBo now, and that is exactly what he delivered this year, which deserves a B (although maybe we still expected more of him at the beginning of the year so maybe he deserves less than a B, perhaps B-?).
Gio knocked it farther out of the park than most expected, which deserves an A.
So given the above criteria, doesn't Reggie deserve a B? He's pretty much exactly what I expected he would be this year - a steady, hard hitting, defensive defenceman.
April 18 2011, 08:48AM
@ schevvy
Is it just me, or does Staios creep anybody else out? He looks like he's had a really bad face lift. I can hardly watch him.
Aaron Asham on the other hand... SUCKS. Just read the teleprompter AA, don't try to make it up as you go along. If you have to correct yourself 5 times per sentence, you're doing it wrong.
April 18 2011, 08:53AM
As for the goalie grades, they seem reasonable to me.
For as long as goalies have been starting 70+ games and then looking tired in the post-season (or not making the post season) people have been talking about giving the #1 guy fewer starts. Well, Vancouver finally did it. Schnieder got 25 starts behind one of the best goa... I can't go on. Anyway, it looks like it might actually have worked for the Canucks.
I don't know if Killer has earned 25 starts next year, but I'd say that he's earned 15+.
It appears Noodles will not be returning next season as a coach...
Good to hear. Why did anyone EVER think it was a good idea to have a goalie who has never won a thing or really ever been that good to coach our "star" and "upcoming" goalies?
Anytime I hear McLennan's name, I remember the playoff series against the Wings a few years ago. Kipper goes off ice, Noodles comes on. Play hasn't even started and he chops Franzen in the chest and gets ejected from the game. Kipper goes back on. Were Bertuzzi and Crawford hiding under our bench that game?
I question Kippers rating. Given that stats are an imperfect measurement for goalis, save pct is the best measurement. Kipper had more than 30 goalies ranking above him and when you include all goalies he was in the 50's when it comes to save pct. If there is a stat available that meassures actual scoring chaces/goal and he shows up better then Ican buy in. I know he won a lot of games but that is a team stat. Also his gaa is ok but the Flames were in the top 5 in terms of the least shots given up.
I guess I'm looking for more statistical evidence that he deserves that rating rather than listening to Loubo sing his praises which is bound to cloud our jusjement given we don't get to see other goalies enough to grade them on non statistical evidence.

So this guy rates Badsuck above everyone but Gio?
Wow. I really do need to come back and write for you guys.

I found that a significant meeting place for these great artists was the print. Masters in their fields, they are widely renowned for media like sculpture, quilting, collage, painting, even painted furniture, but printmaking was common ground. It seemed an important point to begin conversations about process and exquisite design, as well as a dialogue about the fundamental concerns of culture and authentic identity. From the most abstract to the most representational, these works concisely talk about us – all of us. There is no prescribed theme for the show, but as we look closely, one may find clear and specific threads binding the work. These twenty-six beautiful pieces explore tragedy and humor, spirituality and history, determination and resolve. We, at Coppin State University, are honored to present this select group of seventeen African American artists. This important exhibition features artists working from the Harlem Renaissance to this moment, exceeding half a dozen print processes, and offering powerful and alternative views of celebrated American artists. Linda Day Clark
Join us on Sunday, April 27, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Cary Beth Cryor Gallery in the James Weldon Johnson Auditorium at the 2500 West North Avenue entrance to Coppin's campus, as we celebrate these great artists and their "common ground" of printmaking. Gallery hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The gallery is also open by appointment. For additional information and to arrange individual and/or group tours, please call 410 - 951-3361 and leave us a message.
Please join the CSU dance program for a free modern dance class geared towards high school dancers. Graduating dance majors and faculty will teach technique and repertory. The class is free and will take place in the CSU dance studio, PEC 203 from 2:30 - 4:00 on Sunday, April 27, 2014

Dear Coach, Advisor, and Parents,
Greetings from the OU Sooners! The University of Oklahoma Cheer and Pom squads are excited to invite you to the 63rd year of cheerleading, mascot, and dance camps here at University of Oklahoma where National Championships are won almost every year in one or more sports. We hope that the information in our web site will be helpful as you go through the process of selecting a camp for your team/squad.
We are very proud of our facilities here at the University of Oklahoma. We get to use our athletic and university facilities for all our camps. The Huston Huffman Fitness center is popular among our camp participants because it is about a block from the residence hall and cafeteria. Our dorms have been renovated in the last 5 years and give our camp participants some privacy with the suite-style rooms. The Couch Cafeteria offers an all-you-can-eat meal plan with hot entrees, a sandwich bar, salad and fruit bar, and dessert bar.
We have been in the camp business for 63 years and our camps are managed by adult university staff members. The University and OU Camp Staff do everything possible to ensure that you and your squad have the most positive, safe, and secure camp experience. We have University personnel and camp managers on site 24 hours a day to provide you with any and all help that you might need. Campus police are available at all times and routinely stop by our camp activities.

Japan will be keen to build on last week's win over Romania when they face Georgia in Tbilisi on Saturday.
Japan will be keen to build on last week's win over Romania when they face Georgia in Tbilisi on Saturday.
That triumph marked the first time in 25 attempts they had beaten a European side at home.
Their first Test match in Europe was in 1973 against France which ended in a 30-18 win for les Bleus.
Last week's win over Romania came on the back of three disappointing defeats in the IRB Pacific Nations Cup in June as they lost to Tonga, Fiji and Samoa by narrow margins in front of their own supporters.
This weekend's match is only the second meeting between these two sides. The first Test between the them was in 2006 when Japan beat the visitors convincingly 32-7 in Osaka.
Daisuke Ohata was Japan's hero in that clash, crossing over for three tries. Second row Hitoshi Ono and number eight Takashi Kikutani are Japan's only survivors from that match, while Georgia's line-up boast three players – centre David Kachavara, scrum-half Irakli Abuseridze and lock Levan Datunashvili – who were in action that day.
Georgia are keen to regain some momentum after losing consecutive matches against Canada (31-12) and USA (36-20) in June. Their form during the European Nations Cup in Febuary and March had been good, with a 19-13 win over Romania in Bucharest being the highlight.
A loss for Georgia this weekend would see them lose their third consecutive Test – something they have not done since 2009.
The Georgians have a sizeable advantage over Japan in terms of pack size. Georgia's eight weigh in at an average of 110kg per man, compared to the visitors' 105kg.
They have a more experienced starting XV with a total of 543 caps compared to Japan's 407 caps.
In all, there are five players in the Japan starting XV who have 10 caps or less. This compares to three in the Georgian side.
The visitors' bench is littered with inexperience, with Haruki Ota and Takuma Asahara set to make their debuts off the replacements bench.
Georgia require seven more points to break the 3,300 barrier in Test rugby.
It is an eventful occasion for Levan Datunashvili who will make his 50th appearance for his country. Datunashvili, who plays for Aurillac in France's Pro D2, made his debut in a 6-6 draw with Spain in 2004.
Previous result:
2006: Japan won 32-7
The teams:
Georgia: 15 Irakli Kiasashvili, 14 Irakli Machkhaneli, 13 David Kacharava, 12 Merab Sharikadze, 11 Alexander Todua, 10 Merab Kvirikashvili, 9 Irakli Abuseridze (c), 8 Mamuka Gorgodze, 7 Viktor Kolelishvili, 6 Shalva Sutiashvili, 5 Levan Datunashvili, 4 Giorgi Nemsadze, 3 David Zirakashvili, 2 Shalva Mamukashvili, 1 David Khinchagishvili.
Replacements: 16 Yuri 'Irakli' Natriashvili, 17 Mikheil Nariashvili, 18 David Kubriashvili, 19 Vakhtang Maisuradze, 20 Giorgi Begadze, 21 Giorgi Tkhilaishvili, 22 Lasha Khmaladze.
Japan: 15 Ayumu Goromaru, 14 Toshiaki Hirose (c), 13 Tomohiro Senba, 12 Harumichi Tatekawa, 11 Hirotoki Onozawa, 10 Kosei Ono, 9 Fumiaki Tanaka, 8 Takashi Kikutani, 7 Michael Leitch, 6 Hendrik Tui, 5 Luke Thompson, 4 Hitoshi Ono, 3 Kensuke Hatakeyama, 2 Shota Horie, 1 Yusuke Nagae.
Replacements: 16 Haruki Ota, 17 Takuma Asahara, 18 Hiroshi Yamashita, 19 Michael Broadhurst, 20 Ryu Holani, 21 Atsushi Hiwasa, 22 Yu Tamura, 23 Go Aruga.

great shoe except that...
"the toe sole runs a bit thin. I went about 6 weeks wearing the J-41 Coupe Sport Sneakers before I wore a hole thru the toe of the shoe. The shoe was very tough and versatile in the weeks prior though and is very comfortable. I tend to drag my foot, which is how the sole of the toe was weakened. Healthy walking DSW shoppers, grab this deal up QUICKLY!Shoe was stylish mainly with khakis/jeans, I noticed, but not really with black pants, because the bright green stuck out a bit much in terms of the color scheme."

Educators serve their students on McTeacher's night
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Most parents are used to their kids bringing home fundraisers throughout the year, but Tuesday night parents, teachers, students and community members made their schools money just by eating a meal.
On a Tuesday night most teachers are grading papers and making lesson plans, but that's not the order of business on McTeacher's night at McDonald's. "Every store has a school they sponsor. Thirty percent of the sales go right back to the school. The teachers work behind the counter the kids come in; the families have fun, we have fun and the teachers have fun," said Diane Washburn, a McDonald's owner & operator.
That fun is making fast food and fast cash for schools. Washburn tells News 5 that most schools will receive between $9,000 and $13,000.
The money will be used to buy iPads and smartboards for schools like Sullivan Elementary, where Mike Harris teaches fourth grade. "Funding is getting cut all of the time, so anything we can do, any partnerships with the community that helps bring funds is more things for our kids in the classroom," said Harris.
It's also a chance to shake things up outside the classroom. "All the kids come in call me 'Hamburger Head' and the parents get into it. I like to go around and annoy all of the parents and shake the money box," said Harris.
More than 40 schools and McDonald's participated in the one-night event, one that's fun for the whole family. "We are really pleased with it. It has been a really fun time, we get to come and see people we haven't gotten to see for a really long time," said Calvin and Misty Gobble, parents of school-aged kids.
Since 2005, local McDonald's restaurant owners and operators across the Tri-Cities have donated $267,000 to local schools.

DP Donald A. Morgan, ASC is a highly experienced veteran of broadcast shows, and his credits include shooting many episodes of "Home Improvement" and "My Wife and Kids" for ABC, and "Girlfriends" for UPN. He's currently the cinematographer on the new Lifetime comedy series "Rita Rocks," which follows the story of a frazzled wife and mother who faces an identity crisis and decides to dust off her old guitar and form a garage band.
Tell us about the show.
It's a lot of fun and really well-written, and it stars Nicole Sullivan as Rita, the woman who gets back into music in order to do something for herself.
Where do you shoot the show, and what are the main challenges for you?
Although the show is actually set in Detroit, we shoot it at CBS Radford in Hollywood, and the big challenge is the week-to-week changing of the swing sets –– anywhere from one to four. You have two days to set them up, then light them, and then within the body of the show there's always a change in blocking and so on, and then you have to make sure that the girls look the very best you can make them as a DP.
What camera gear do you use?
We shoot in HD and use four Sony 900s that have been modified and which are all rented from Panavision in Woodland Hills. The camera breakdown is two wider-lens 8:1s on the inside cameras and then 10:1s on the outside cameras. I like shooting HD; it's a little bit more sensitive than film and it has a nice texture. Before, a lot of broadcast shows were shot in 35mm film because of syndication. You could easily take out extracts and then syndicate all over the world. Now, shooting HD and 16x9 is 30-percent cheaper, they say. And now we're also back to using the four-peds set-up, which goes back to basics. As for lenses, there's a variety you can use, but because of how the sets are and the distances you have to deal with and how rapidly, we tend to use the standard lenses. The outside lenses go for more singles and crosses, as you need to be more precise, while the center cams are for masters and two-shots.
What other equipment do you use?
A lot of times we'll use this hybrid pick-up. On the last show I did I used two dollies, two peds and a Jimmy Jib. For this show, I like to use three peds and a Jimmy Jib. So the configuration just depends on what you need on any given day.
How does "Rita Rocks" rate in comparison to all the other broadcast shows you've done?
This is our very first season and I love it, and it's a fun show to work on. As a DP I like to be as steady as possible, and I like to change the face of four-camera shows.
Jimmy Jib

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Stevenson men's lacrosse sophomore Michael Crowe (Arlington, Va./Yorktown) scored his 12th goal of the season 1:17 into overtime as the No. 5 Mustangs defeated No. 8 Lynchburg 12-11 Saturday night at Mustang Stadium.
Stevenson (9-1) improves to 3-1 against Lynchburg at home, but still trails 5-4 in the overall series that began in 1999. The win also avenges a 6-3 defeat a season ago that saw the Mustangs lowest goal output in eight seasons.
The Mustangs wasted no time getting on the board as senior Peter Green (Hereford, Md./Hereford) notched an unassisted tally two minutes in ending a scoreless streak of 43:58 dating back to last year's matchup.
Sophomore Mark Pannenton (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna) scored his team leading 27th goal of the season 30 seconds later of a helper from senior Nick Rossi (Lutherville, Md./Towson).
Junior Chris Dashiell (Salisbury, Md./Parkside) posted goals to close the first quarter and open the second quarter to give Stevenson a 6-1 lead.
The Hornets (8-2) would run off five unanswered goals to close the half, two coming from Austin Stewart. The Mustangs would hold Lynchburg's leading goal scorer in check for the remainder of the contest.
Coming off a 6-5 lead at halftime, senior Tyler Reid (Clinton, Conn./Xavier) ended a 18:38 goal drought for Stevenson with his 20th of the season, unassisted. The Mustangs would outscore the Hornets 4-1 in the third quarter, capped by the 10th goal of the season from sophomore Billy Burgoyne (Boonton Township, N.J./Mountain Lakes) with six seconds remaining in the quarter.
Stevenson held an 11-7 lead with 5:27 remaining as freshman Dylan Muti (Mountain Lakes, N.J./Mountain Lakes) netted his second of the season.
Lynchburg forced overtime by scoring four goals in the span of three minutes, sparked by a pair of man-up goals from Aaron Murphy with 2:30 remaining in regulation. The Hornets capitalized on their final two extra-man opportunities out of six total on the evening.
Derek Sweet scored point blank off a quick stick assist by Stewart to knot the game at 11-11 with 39 seconds to go. Sweet would have one last chance to win the game in regulation, but fired a shot that sailed wide right from eight yards out as time expired.
The Hornets won the face-off to begin overtime, however, Warren Pumphrey caused Max Voumard to turn the ball over 18 seconds in.
Pumphrey also caused the turnover and had the game-winning assist as the Mustangs defeated RIT in overtime by an identical 12-11 score at home on Feburary 27.
After a slashing penalty by Chris Hower, Dashiell found Crowe on the close left wing for the game-winner 11 seconds into the man-up advantage.
Lynchburg was led by Sweet who totaled six points on four goals and two assists, including the game-tying goal to force overtime, while Adam Davey tied a career-high with 19 saves.
Stevenson travels Wednesday to face in-state and former CAC rival Salisbury with opening face-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The Sea Gulls have won four straight dating back to the 2011 CAC Championship game.

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Russia's Caucasus
From the Caucus Mountains of southern Russia to the coasts of the Caspian Sea, the countries that make up this region include a diverse array of languages, cultures, religious majorities, and ethnic groups.
Despite oil and gas industry advances, today these traditionally weak economies are struggling to recover from the recessionary effects of the global downturn. Georgia continues to deal with the devastating impact of its August 2008 armed conflict with Russia, and to grapple with an unemployment rate of over 16%. Unemployment is also high in other parts of the region, and steep increases in the cost of energy and many staples exacerbate the situation of the poor and elderly. Social welfare systems are, for the most part, non–existent or rudimentary, and state pensions are among the lowest in the former Soviet Union.
The Jewish communities in many of these countries are comprised of two, separately led groups: those who trace their history in the region back thousands of years; and the newer arrivals, predominantly Ashkenazi Jews, who settled there after World War II. While centers of Jewish life are concentrated in the larger cities, there are some 400 smaller Jewish communities across this region. Turkmenistan and Tajikistan have the smallest Jewish populations, while Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have the region's largest number of needy elderly Jews.
JDC works in countries throughout this region to:
- Save the poorest Jews by helping to provide, through some 40 welfare centers, essential food assistance, winter relief, and home care services to impoverished elderly Jews who cannot survive on their meager pensions; responding to the needs of Jews who suffered as a result of the fighting in Georgia; and helping to furnish basic food, medicine, and clothing, along with psychological and educational support, to Jewish children in need and their families, including children with disabilities.
- Revitalize Jewish life by providing support for cultural, religious, and social activities through 45+ Jewish Community Centers, cultural centers, and welfare centers, which offer programs for all ages and interests, including children's activities and family weekend and summer retreats. JDC also supports 10 Jewish kindergartens, Jewish studies courses and activities for university students and young adults, and Jewish libraries, community websites, and Jewish newspapers and scholarly publications throughout the region.
- Develop tomorrow's Jewish leaders by furnishing Jewish educational opportunities and training in leadership skills to teenagers and young adults, and organizing training courses for community professionals and lay leaders.
See how JDC is helping to meet acute welfare needs and connect multi-generational families like Natalia's to Jewish community life.
For an in-depth look at JDC's work in Azerbaijan check out our community profile PDF.
For an in-depth look at JDC's work in Tbilisi check out our city profile PDF.
JDC Jewish family retreats in this region give young families a welcoming entry point to Jewish life; participants go on to start or join local family clubs that offer year-round activities and Jewish lifecycle and holiday celebrations.

Choose Books at the Right Reading Levels
Books at the right reading levels make for more fun and less frustration.
Learning Benefits
Hover over each Learning Benefit below for a detailed explanation.
"Just-right" books help your child find the right reading levels and make reading more fun. Have your children try the "five-finger test" to select a book at their reading levels:
Choose a book you would like to read.
Look at a page in the middle.
Put one finger down for every word you can't read or don't understand. If you have five fingers down, you will need to try different reading levels.
- If you have fewer than five fingers down, the book is "just right"! Read it.
Your child may want to read a book that is "too hard" based on this test. That's okay. Just make it a book that you read aloud to her, or that you read together (perhaps alternating pages or chapters; or she reads, but you sit alongside to answer questions or help her with challenging words). This will help your child climb to more advanced reading levels!
