Articulation Agreements
Articulation Agreements are formal agreements between two or more colleges and universities to accept courses in transfer toward a specific academic program. Articulation Agreements are generally for specialized professional or technical programs offered at colleges (e.g., Associate of Science (AS), Associate of Fine Arts (AFA), Associate of Applied Science (AAS), diplomas, certificates) that can be applied to a specific program/major at the receiving university. View the Articulation Overview section to see detailed information. In addition to individual agreements, there are also broad field articulation agreements in Health Sciences and a statewide nursing articulation agreement. To search for broad field or statewide agreements, type the name of the agreement in the box under "By Program" below (e.g."Health Sciences"). Scroll below to search for these and other articulation agreements.
NOTE: Transfer often occurs without articulation agreements.

How to research fertility clinics & what to expect
Choose a fertility clinic
Our 'Choose a Fertility Clinic' service is designed to help patients, prospective patients and donors find a clinic that best suit their needs.
Choosing a clinic
With many fertility clinics to choose from, you may need to do some research to find the best fit for you.
What to expect at the clinic
The idea of going to a fertility clinic can be daunting; find out what you might expect when you visit one.
Understanding clinic success rates
What do clinic success rates really mean? Are they that different between clinics?
Considering treatment abroad? Issues and risks
There can be risks attached to having treatment abroad, find out what you need to know before making a decision.
Guide to clinic inspection reports
The HFEA inspects every clinic we license and we publish the reports from these inspections. A key principle behind the inspection process is to judge 'what is it like to be a patient here?'
Disclosing identifying information to researchers
Rules governing the information we hold that identifies patients, their partners and donors.
Questions to ask at the clinic
The first consultation with a doctor or clinic can sometimes be confusing or difficult. Clinic staff are there to help you with your questions and concerns.
Consent to treatment
Before treatment can take place, you'll need to complete a number of consent forms. This is because the clinic needs to make sure that you understand, and agree to, all that is involved in having treatment.
Reducing the risk to patients, gametes and embryos
Errors occur across all industries. Within the healthcare sector it is essential that when an error occurs, or is prevented from happening (a 'near miss'), that the incident is reported and lessons are learned. Staff at HFEA licensed fertility clinics are required to report adverse incidents and near misses that happen at their clinic.

Ed Whelan has posted his second attack on judicial nominee Caitlin Halligan for supposedly having a record that suggests she is "hard left." Previously, Whelan tried (but failed) to paint Halligan as outside the mainstream on the issue of same-sex marriage. His new attack is that she is too far left on national security issues. Unfortunately for Whelan, her position on one of the issues he highlights is the same as that taken by Justice Antonin Scalia.
Whelan's latest attack on Halligan is that she is one of more than 30 people to sign a 2004 report by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York report on President Bush's detention policies.
Whelan argues: "The NYC Bar report maintains (p. 110) that the congressional Authorization for Use of Military Force (enacted September 18, 2001) does not authorize indefinite detention of enemy combatants." He paints this as out of the mainstream because a majority of the Supreme Court held in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld that the Authorization of the Use of Military Force did allow such detentions. Be that as it may (and the majority opinion in that case did not support the Bush administration's detention policies), four justices disagreed with that holding, and one of those was Scalia (the judge for whom Whelan clerked).
Scalia -- in an opinion joined by Justice John Paul Stevens wrote:
Where the Government accuses a citizen of waging war against it, our constitutional tradition has been to prosecute him in federal court for treason or some other crime. Where the exigencies of war prevent that, the Constitution's Suspension Clause, Art. I, §9, cl. 2, allows Congress to relax the usual protections temporarily. Absent suspension, however, the Executive's assertion of military exigency has not been thought sufficient to permit detention without charge. No one contends that the congressional Authorization for Use of Military Force, on which the Government relies to justify its actions here, is an implementation of the Suspension Clause. Accordingly, I would reverse the decision below.
Justices David Souter and Stephen Breyer also dissented from the view that the Authorization for Use of Military Force authorized the detention in Hamdi's case.
One final point: Whelan attempts to buttress his argument by saying that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the court to which Halligan has been nominated, has "adopted that broad construction" of the Authorization for Use of Military Force. However, Whelan cites only cases dealing with detainees at Guantanamo, and the report Halligan signed explicity said: "a large group of alleged 'enemy combatants' seized abroad is being held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba (see p. 29, above), detentions which present distinct issues not addressed in this report."
So, in essence, either Whelan is providing evidence that Scalia is "hard left" or it's a bogus argument against Halligan. I suggest it's the latter.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Walter, Apr 18, 2014.
Bulls with 2 fast break points tonight.
Clippers get back on track. It appeared that Steph Curry played with less passion than Sunday. Thunder in trouble....with the next game in Memphis Not ready to call the Wizards the cinderella team yet, but let them get to the ECF....then let's talk
What a grind fest in Chicago. Blurgh. Memphis!!!! Hell yeah. I really want the Thunder to lose. And I really want Indiana to lose. I love upsets
If the thunder could barely beat our tank squad, there must be something wrong with them.
Clueless coach?
No efficient 3 and D guy like we have.
How awesome is the MEM-OKC series! Wow, the game goes into OT when Z-Bo's layup is too late for the buzzer, and then MEM steals the game when Ibaka's layup is too late at the end of OT. Wow. 4 games in a row decided in overtime, apparently a playoff record.
Scott Brooks is actually clueless. He has about 3 plays that he runs. The rest is just high post PnR with Durant and iso's above the line with either Westbrook or Durant.
He really is. Not to mention playing Fossil Fisher 25 mins a game! They should make him hand back his COY award from a few years ago. Phil Jackson has exactly one of those trophies...
Yup. Here was the conversation he had with the team during that last time out. "See this board guys. I'm drawing a big turd on it because you are all going to run around and set lots of free throw line screens but only so you can inbound to big KD over here near the wing" "Uh coach what is someone else gets free" "Here is the really beauty of my plan. If someone gets free Memphis will have to scramble to cover him and Durant will get free and splash 3 point buckets over all the fans" This reminds me of scott brooks
All three games tonight, the team facing elimination survived. Three game 7 on Saturday to make the NBA very happy. A 1, 2 and 3 seed will have to prove that home court is the advantage and win out. #1 seed Pacers took over in the last 2 minutes to beat the Hawks by 7. # 2 seed Thunder basically ended their game at halftime and coasted home vs the Grizzlies' #3 seed Clippers were the victims of their own shooting and failure to get in the paint even with Lee and O'Neal on the bench. This one went down to the wire as the Warriors edge the Clips by one point (the diff of a earlier FT tech by Curry). If the Clips lose the series, this will be the game that they will remember ..and game one.
Paul Pierce is abusing Amir Johnson. He is blowing by him every time he has the ball. Brooklyn up 27-14 to start the game. The Raptors will need to adjust on that matchup.
Z Randolph suspended for G7. The NBA has been good about staying out of its' own way so far, but this puts a damper on the game.
Great game by Dallas....Blair and Ellis... to force another game 7. I've never seen an opening round like this.
NBA almost got six game 7's, but last years rookie of the year Damian Lillard hits a game winning walk off three with less than 0.9 seconds left on the clock to win what appeared to be a Rocket stave off elimination win as Chandler Parsons threw in a put back deflection for them with 0.9 seconds. First playoff win for the Trailblazers in 14 years. There will be three game 7's on Saturday and two on Sunday as the Nets and the Mavs take care of business at home tonight and will try to win game 7 on the road on Sunday in Toronto and San Antonio. NBA Action.....FAN-tastic...
Wow, I'm only sorry it didn't go to 7. I watched every game in that series and loved every minute. But it spoiled me from watching any of the East series. I tried to watch some Nets-Raps today but its just so inferior quality-wise even though its going 7 games.
That was a great series.
Was James Harden responsible for the defensive switch that allowed Lillard an open shot? Damian Lillard hits buzzer-beating, game-winning, series-clinching 3 to oust Rockets in 6 (Video) | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo Sports
Lillard and Aldridge were absolute beasts throughout the series, but Robin Lopez deserves a lot of credit as well. What an amazing series. Speaking of amazing performances, Blake Griffin is playing out of his mind. His defense is still not very amazing, but he is unstoppable on the offensive end.
That shot was not really 'wide open'
Separate names with a comma.

Dear Lucy,
I need access to listening and speaking prediction tasks for beginner learners of English who are native speakers of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Polish. Would you still recommend the two texts you have referred to in the correspondence I have included with this email or not?
Many thanks,
Hubert Judge.
'Dear Hubert,
Penny Ur's Teaching Listening Comprehension and Underwood's Teaching Listening are excellent resources. These books are fairly old now (1980's) but they remain classics in the field. They are not aimed specifically at the learners you mention. However,I think you'll be able to use the activities.
Good luck,

Mother And Daughter Get Into A Fist Fight Over Man They Were Both Having Sex With
Lisa Johnson Jail Booking Report
Eustis, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - A feud between a mother and daughter attracted the attention of police who learned the two family members were fighting over a man they were both having a sexual relationship with.
Jessica Fixl, 25, and her biological mother Lisa Johnson, 46, were arrested Friday after the two women became engaged in a fist fight over the man they were both having sex with.
According to Eustis Police, Officers were first called out to the women's home Friday morning when the two women became engaged in a heated argument over a man they were both having sex with.
Investigators advised the women to settle down and suggested Johnson, who appeared intoxicated, go to sleep.
Officers were called back out to the women's home about 20 minutes later to find the feud between the women had turned violent. Johnson was found bleeding from a laceration to her forehead.
Johnson told investigators that she tried to go to bed like the officer suggested, but her daughter, Jessica Fixl, responded by punching her in the forehead with a closed fist.
A minor who was a witness to the altercation told investigators that Johnson provoked the confrontation by going into the man's room, grabbing his crotch and refusing to let go. Johnson continued to hold the man's crotch until Fixl entered the room and punched her mother in the head.
Investigators say Johnson and the man had been living together for about a year, but when Johnson went to jail, a sexual relationship developed between the Fixl and her mother's boyfriend. When Johnson was released from jail, the man continued having sex with both women.
Jessica Fixl was booked into the Lake County Jail on charge of simple battery. Bond in her case was set at $500.
Lisa Johnson was booked into jail on a felony charge of domestic battery. Her bond was set at $3,000.

Looking at the daughter, I can tell that with a couple touches of Clinique, a hair straightener, some Paul Mitchell styling agent, and some Biore, she'd be a good looking gal.
Looking at her mother, I'm not sure there are any products at the Macy's makeup counter that could help her out.
Which begs the question: why would the daughter need to sleep with the same guy her mom was banging? I sincerely doubt the guy's a real looker.
Oh that's right. Meth. I forgot. Silly me.
- October 6, 2009 at 7:37 AM
Why fight over a man willing to do this? Maybe he's their dealer. Nice swing on Jessica's part! They should have put all their energy into kicking his @$$!

Lactic dehydrogenase, LDH, lactate dehydrogenase
This is a blood test that measures the level of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in your body. LDH is an enzyme, or catalyst, found in many different tissues in your body. These include your red blood cells, skeletal muscles, kidneys, brain, and lungs. When your LDH rises, it means that tissues may have been damaged or are diseased.
You may have this test if your healthcare provider suspects you have had a heart attack or may have tissue damage or disease. If you've already been diagnosed with a specific disease, you may have this test so your provider can watch your condition and see whether your treatment is working.
You may also have a lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme test. Your total LDH is made up of 5 isoenzymes numbered LDH-1 through LDH-5. The concentration of each isoenzyme depends on the tissue. For example, LDH-1 and LDH-2 are found mainly in heart tissue. LDH-5 is found mostly in the liver.
A higher than normal total LDH means possible tissue damage. Your healthcare provider might order a lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme test to find out which tissue is damaged or diseased.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider.
The normal range for total LDH is:
Newborn: 160 to 450 units per liter (units/L)
Infant: 100 to 250 units/L
Child: 60 to 170 units/L at 30° C
Adult/elderly adult: 100 to 190 units/L at 37° C
If your total LDH is higher than normal, it could mean that you have organ or tissue damage. But total LDH doesn't tell which tissue or organ may be damaged. If all of your LDH isoenzymes are higher than normal, you could have damage to several organs, including your heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver. Autoimmune diseases like lupus and advanced cancers can also cause higher LDH levels.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
If the blood sample is contaminated or your red blood cells are broken, your LDH will be higher.
Anesthetics, aspirin, narcotics, and certain other medicines can raise your LDH. Medicines with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can decrease your LDH levels. Alcohol also can affect your LDH levels.
You don't need to prepare for this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

The COE in WATER represents an innovative partnership between SUNY Delhi and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse. The COE in WATER is committed to stimulating economic development in rural upstate New York, while protecting the New York City watershed and addressing SUNY's objectives for renewable energy.
The current COE in WATER initiatives have received support from New York City's Department of Environmental Protection, as well as state and federal start-up funding. The COE in WATER currently has five major components:
Subsurface Disposal and Golf Course Irrigation System
The pumping of waste water from the Delhi Waste Water Treatment Plant, for storage and use in golf course irrigation, will allow the Village of Delhi to accept up to 250,000 gallons per day of new effluent from business and industry, meeting the area's economic growth and business expansion needs.
Biomass Gasification
A biomass gasification project will provide a model of renewable, sustainable energy use in the area. The technology can be transferred to the surrounding community for use by local businesses, and will allow growth at reduced costs in both environmental and economic terms.
Willow and Forest Biomass
Fuel for the biomass gasification project, in addition to being provided by local agricultural and forest wastes, may be grown by farmers within the local area. Part of a 10,000-acre statewide willow installation by the SUNY Center for Sustainable and Renewable Energy, a Salix (willow) planting at SUNY Delhi's lower campus will provide a living laboratory and demonstration site for this potential cash crop, which can allow economically productive use of fallow cropland while providing erosion control and increased water filtering capacity, positively impacting regional water quality.

Wall Watchers started out as an idea in the early 1990's and launched thegoodsteward.com as its first website. It was an educational website aimed at providing practical and useful information on biblical stewardship principles to the Christian community.
For the moment thegoodsteward.com has been taken down because of a lack of support. Lord willing, we hope to have an opportunity for a robust library of articles on various topics. You have been taken to Wall Watchers' main site: MinistryWatch.com. For now, you can view some articles here.
Wall Watchers believe that there is a great need throughout the Christian community for re-introducing the biblical conception of stewardship back into the lives of believers. Wall Watchers has the potential of meeting vital needs, but it is not being funded as it should. Your financial support will be used as a type of multiplier effect by providing confidence in the charitable sector.
Improving donor representation and empowering donors can ignite a renewed interest in giving. It would also cause current giving to be targeted more effectively and strategically.
If you appreciate what Wall Watchers is striving to do and would like to contribute to seeing this vision become a reality, you can click on the Network for Good or PayPal icon to give an online donation, or use the contact details to send a check made out to Wall Watchers.
Thank you for your interest to pass on wisdom, understanding and discernment to others.
"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." (Gal. 6:9, NASB)

by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP
Hysterectomy is the second-most common significant operation performed on females inside the United States. (The most common is cesarean section delivery). Every year, more than 600,000 women undergo a hysterectomy. Despite the fact that some progressive doctors claim that up to 90% of hysterectomies are unnecessary, more conservative estimates put that number between 20–30%. Either way, that is a lot of women that may be having unnecessary hysterectomies.
There are quite a few reasons why women are recommended to consider an elective hysterectomy. The most common are intense bleeding, when many things have been tried and failed, large fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometriosis, causing debilitating pain and discomfort and other endometrial concerns. Some women are fed up with the discomfort or the bloating that accompanies a large fibroid uterus, or have a uterine prolapse, (a condition in which the uterus drops). More serious indications include cancers of the uterus or ovaries — conditions that truly merit immediate surgery. However, if we take a closer look, the latter are relatively uncommon and leave women with few choices, so this conversation and topic is geared toward women who are considering surgery for less clear-cut reasons.
Heavy bleeding
Throughout traditional medical practices heavy blood loss is termed "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" when it is not the normal amount of bleeding but no demonstrable organic pathology is found. Diagnosis is made by exclusion since organic pathology always has to be ruled out. What may be more useful for us to identify as "dysfunctional," or imbalanced, are the environmental and lifestyle influences affecting our hormones and sending the uterus mixed messages. Every now and then these influences lead to a state of estrogen dominance, and in other cases the menses may be out of sync, because of general hormonal imbalance. In whichever case, tuning in and paying attention to what the body and mind require can restore balance naturally. Furthermore, what is dysfunctional for one woman may not be for another, and the term is somewhat subjective by nature, so it should be discussed with a knowledgeable and experienced provider.
Having reached a state of hormonal imbalance, a woman's body can get stuck, and even her greatest efforts to restore balance can take quite a few months. The annoyance of having to change pads hourly, double up on tampons, wash extra linen, never wear white at that time of the month and timing activities around heavy flow leads several women to the end of their gynecological rope. When women in this situation ask for a hysterectomy, nearly all doctors in America will respond by scheduling surgery as soon as possible and who can blame them. But in our book, surgery should never be the first, or even the second, recourse in the face of heavy bleeding. That is because we have seen firsthand how much things can change when the right steps are taken. The good news is, no matter what, an old dictum from surgery generally applies: bleeding eventually stops when a woman goes through menopause.
Heavy bleeding often occurs, even if it has never happened before, around perimenopause and in several cases can be successfully addressed with many natural measures before pursuing surgery. In nearly all cases, a woman with dysfunctional uterine bleeding can be offered a trial of non-surgical intervention such as "medical management" (using a progesterone effect on the uterus) of dysfunctional bleeding prior to referral for "surgical management." This approach is normally safe, as long as the lining of her uterus has been appropriately evaluated with an endometrial biopsy or D&C if necessary, and as long as her red blood count remains sufficient.
At our clinic, we've had excellent results treating heavy bleeding with high-dose bioidentical progesterone, in the form of creams or oral tablets, along with other supportive supplements. Lifestyle and dietary changes that decrease stress and increase core nutrition are also extremely effective in this arena.
Several bleeding issues reflect irregularities of the endometrium, so the symptoms are strongly influenced by the monthly ebb and flow of estrogen as well as progesterone. Simply because of this, these difficulties normally react extremely well into a natural rebalancing of hormones by way of diet plan and life style changes. Furthermore, a natural approach should be given a trial before advancing to surgical intervention. Surgery is no small matter, and the removal of organs can lead to additional problems that are just as troublesome or more so, only different. And, just as heavy bleeding dissipates with menopause, so too do conditions of the endometrium.
Postmenopausal bleeding
Be aware that post-menopausal bleeding is a completely different matter, in addition to any sort of bleeding that happens after menopause, and needs to be immediately assessed by your healthcare provider. Women with postmenopausal bleeding are often referred for vaginal ultrasound so the endometrium of the uterus can be evaluated and measured. If the endometrial thickness is above a certain width, an endometrial biopsy is recommended. Certain drugs such as Tamoxifen for breast cancer can cause the thickening, and women on tamoxifen who have thickened stripes should be seen by GYN specialists for this side effect.
Constant heavy bleeding that does not stem from a discretely recognizable source such as fibroids, and which doesn't respond to medical management, is often a result of adenomyosis of the uterus. Adenomysis is generally referred to as endometriosis interna. In this condition, which is sometimes mistaken for uterine fibroids, the glandular endometrial lining of the uterus invades the bulk of the uterine muscle wall. This is also known as endometriosis of the muscle.
Although most women who have adenomyosis never have symptoms, it can cause the uterus to grow 2–3 times its normal size and be accompanied by severe menstrual cramping. During the pelvic exam, the uterus can feel large and bulky. It occasionally is recognized by ultrasound, or more definitively by MRI, and confirmed by pathology after a hysterectomy; however it is technically seem as a benign condition.
Adenomyosis frequently fails to respond to the influence of progesterone under medical management. If you have exhausted all natural measures and still suffer with persistent heavy bleeding, you might want to enquire further about this potential diagnosis. Endometrial ablation is one alternative that has shown for some to be very helpful and is an alternative to hysterectomy, along with the Mirena IUD; either may be considered in certain cases.
No less than 40% percent of hysterectomies performed are for fibroids. (Fibroids technically are not part of the endometrium). Nobody understands just what exactly will cause them, but they are certainly a hassle. They are extremely real and women's worries about them must not be dismissed as merely worrying. We suspect their growth is most likely fueled by estrogen but are unsure yet regarding the details.
Fibroids are fairly common: at least one in five women over age 35 has them. So many women think mistakenly that if they have fibroids they will sooner or later need a hysterectomy. This just isn't true. Often doctors recommend a hysterectomy for patients with fibroids even when they are symptom free! This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
At Women to Women, we have countless patients who deal with their fibroids successfully through dietary changes, lifestyle changes, including looking at their stress levels and working to change them, and supplements — as well as acupuncture, if they are having symptoms. We suggest the book Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, written by my friend and colleague, Christiane Northrup, MD, which includes a fabulous section on treating and living with fibroids without surgical interventions. See our articles for more information on the causes as well as natural treatment for fibroids.
Fibroids may cause bleeding and pain or discomfort, an ever present sense of fullness and can grow in some, but certainly not all cases. A fibroid's size is described as though someone was pregnant, comparing it to the gestational age of the fetus — for example, a 5-month size fibroid — or it can be described as a fruit, the size of a grapefruit or orange, etc. Women can have several fibroids of various sizes and shapes. Some fibroids grow very little over time, and many women are oblivious that they have them. Your healthcare provider can often feel an enlargement of the uterus while doing a pelvic exam and may order an ultrasound if they feel it is warranted.
An ultrasound will measure the fibroid and better evaluate any other abnormalities that are there as well. You could be sent for repeat ultrasounds to make certain your fibroids are not growing too big or too quickly over time. Your doctor may in addition order a CT scan or an MRI if additional information is needed. Fibroids are very seldom cancerous and are not needed to be biopsied. But remember that any kind of dysfunctional uterine bleeding should probably be evaluated with an endometrial biopsy to rule out any other causes for the bleeding.
Uterine polyps or endometrial polyps are irregularities of the inner uterine lining (something like fleshy skin tags, only on the inside). Polyps are often the source of irregular bleeding and can be a large nuisance, BUT they are not commonly cancerous. Polyps of the uterine lining are often difficult to see on regular ultrasounds, but a "sono-hyst" (sonohysterography) or saline-infused ultrasound is much better at diagnosing this more accurately. It is not unusual to obtain fragments of a polyp when getting the results back on a sampling that was taken when an endometrial biopsy was done.
Nearly all endocervical polyps can be removed through the vagina, as they are present at the opening of the cervix, but uterine/endometrial polyps are usually removed via the D&C with hysteroscopy method, which is slightly more invasive but definitely less traumatic than a hysterectomy.
Endometriosis is a condition that is normally more painful than dangerous. A lot of women who have endometriosis are unaware of its presence until they attempt to become pregnant. Endometriosis can cause severe fertility problems and always needs to be ruled out if someone has cramping with their menses and can't get pregnant. It can also cause irregular spotting, bleeding, and pain, including pain with intercourse. For women with severe endometriosis, the pain can be unbearable, especially around their period, and or around ovulation.
Acupuncture can be very helpful for pain management. If fertility is an issue, PT techniques such as integrative manual therapy (IMT) and Clear Passages could be investigated. Both these techniques have been quite successful in increasing fertility when every else failed. Laparoscopy is often used in more severe cases for conclusive diagnosis and treatment. For more precise information on alternative treatments for endometriosis, see our articles on this topic.
In case your decision to get a hysterectomy is an optional one, consider yourself fortunate. You may want to spend some time researching your options and then figuring out what will be the best choice, or option for you before you decide to have surgery. The good news is that more and more options are becoming available.

|The ad says unfortunately no all black pups. Does the sire carry for black? Simple genetics. Why tell me the weight of the sire? Which to me is too big. Out of the breed standard. When did AKC become most prestigious? Thats a riot! LOL You can do better than this breeder.
I suggest you visit the breeder and see the dogs and kennel setup.
Do they provide a pedigree?
How many breeding studs and bitches do they have?
Based on website alone, which is not everything, I would not purchase a dog from them.
You are looking for a companion and running partner. I would be looking for a breeder that has done basic health clearances. I don't see anything on the website that says the dogs being bred are free of hip and elbow dysplasia.
That would be my first question.
My second would be, "what makes these dogs breed worthy?" "How do they measure up to the standard of a good GSD?" "What are your goals for each breeding?"" How have you proven that these dogs have the correct temperament to be bred?"
That's just to start. Not all breeders have fancy websites, so I hate to judge based only on that.
I would also talk to references, people that have bought pups from them in the past.
I know you are not interested in showing or competing, but a family pet and companion is a hard job too. The dog you chose should be from healthy parents with correct temperament. If they can't prove it, walk away. Your budget is enough for you to find a great pup from breeders that do maintain a better standard that what I can see this breeder does.

GSD Pup Questions
Hello All - Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I am finally in a time/place in my life where I can devote enough time and resources to a new family member, and I have always been interested in GSD's.
I am interested in obedience classes, training, and having the GSD be my running companion. I am looking for a new family member, not necessarily a 'show dog', so I am struggling with the differences in breeders and pricing.
Do you mind looking at the following ad and letting me know your thoughts? Around KY, I have seen pricing range from 800-1200 dollars, and most recently this ad surfaced. I called the number and spoke with the breeder, who stated AKC papers, 1 year general health, and 5 year hip health guarantee. It's the second liter of the female, who is 3 years old. I'll be honest, I have learned quite a bit from this site, but was hoping for some insight.
AKC German Shepherd Puppies Louisville | German Shepherd Puppy For Sale in Louisville KY | 3669585051 | Dogs on Oodle Marketplace
What should I be asking the breeder?
Again, pardon my ignorance, but any help is appreciated.

You're right that yours was better. But woot does say it has to be original art - meaning that it hasn't been done before (I guess that means submitted counts).

Until then I was a little disturbed that motherhood made you think of suicide.

Re: Mother Nature
I find it horribly sad that this got rejected on the basis that its a resub, yet Tgentry's design is still 1 out of the fog when the only difference between its original and this one is a curler and mom on the coffee mug? What about Cho's design that won this week? I don't mind resubs THAT much, but if a beatiful design like this gets rejected on the basis of resub, why aren't the others?

Wade is a great player but come on now..
Herrmann is German.
I don't dislike Wade... I like his game and demeanor a lot actually. And I'd take him over Kobe any day. But Isiah is widely regarded as a top 3 PG. Will Wade retire in the top 3 within his position? ... doubtful.
There's a difference between taking it the bank and making a big show like he did. He kept smiling like a 2-year old, and shaking his head talking to the fans saying "no it's not", "no i didnt", and then making a huge production out of it with his team. He was essentially saying "yea i fouled him and there's nothing you can do about it b/c i'm Dwayne Wade". It pains me to say that Kobe and LBJ do have better attitudes. And on a complete OT note; i thought it was hysterical and adorable how excited Hermann was after he hit that shot. He kept telling KB something along the lines of i told you and he turned red. LOL Disclaimer; this does not mean he doesn't suck
Kwame is Salami.
Have you watched Wade play this year? Since the Olympics? Better playmaker, not as good of a shot but he doesn't get in those personal battles/mind games that Kobe gets caught in. And Wade is on track to win defensive player of the year, believe it or not.
Tay is from Gay...
good call on Van LOser , Round. I hate when FIRED coaches and GM's are hired on as EXPERTS and ANALysists. Breen WANTED to make an unbiased call but those A-wipes VanLoser and Jackson HAVE to say good things about superstars , bcuz Stern runs a SEE DWADE 'and' The Heat league. Thats why the Pistons of 2003-2008 have never got their just due as one of the best 10 teams of all time. Rings or not.
And BTW, Udonis Haslem has been a boil on my ass long enough! We need to do a Mr Potter on him!!!
One of the greatest players of all time? Already better than Kobe? Yeah right man. Wade is good, but he isn't that good. He plays on a crappy team. Kobe plays on a good team and puts up those numbers. Jordan played on a good team and put up those numbers. Lebron plays for a good team and puts up those numbers. It's alot easier to put up 30/7/7 when your playing on a team of scrubs. The Maimi Heat are horrible (yes, I know we lost to them). Wade is certainly very talented but not one of the greatest of all times and he doesn't touch Kobe IMO. And no one should be used in the same sentence as Jordan. I could never see Kobe or Jordan being wheeled out of the arena crying like a baby becuase of a shoulder.
Wade is a great player no doubt, but Kobe is his prime was one of the best 1on1 defenders in the league & the best scorer in the league...Wade is putting up good numbers, but if you put Kobe on a crap team like that and he'd be dropping 35+ a game like he did a couple years ago and they were playing the the much tougher west also.
During the game, the wadeannouncers kept telling us how good wade's defense is this year. How hard wade has worked to become a great defender and how many blocks he has this year. Wade will be defensive player of the year.
what was so funny about there comments about wades defense..... our guards kept getting to the bucket, and they would say the miami guards... (yes plural) were terrible in letting it happen. then 2 secs later rave about wade's defense..... don't ya think if only one guard (the one not being wade) was being burned they would have called that one guy out?
Come on, you can't be serious. There's nobody more full of himself than Kobe, although Lebron is catching up to him. LeBron used to have a great attitude, but the last year and a half he's behaving with this sense of entitlement. Watching him in games, his body language seems to say that he's supposed to win the championship all by himself and anybody that defends him or any referee that doesn't blow the whistle his way at every possession is cheating him out of his eventual prize and therefore is violating his god-given rights. I used to love watching the guy. Not any more.
I agree with that first sentence, which makes me wonder why you followed that up with the second sentence.
Game, set, match.
D-Whistle couldn't even shine Joe Dumars shoes.
could you imagine wade having to deal with the defense that was allowed to be played on jordon.... better yet for all you who claim how great wade and todays other superstars are, imagine jordon getting the same whistle that wade does. And I used to think Jordon got an unfair whistle..... Laim and Horn would have had wade in the lockerroom before the 1st quarter was over... and dumars would have had him crying for his mama when wade got the jordon rules defense. As its been said I think on low's podcast this weekend, if there so much better then the rest of the players in the league... hell they don't need the whistles, its the rest of the players that need the help.
Ok....I hate both those guys, but you're just high.
It's OK, I'll be here all year, and all next year, and so on. "I don't get mad at others for being wrong", lol

2014 MAAC Tournament in Lakewood
FirstEnergy Park Selected For 2014 MAAC Baseball Championship
EDISON, NJ -- The 2014 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Baseball Championship will be held May 21-25 at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, N.J., it was announced today by Richard J. Ensor, commissioner of the MAAC. Monmouth University will serve as the host institution for the 2014 MAAC Baseball Championship.
"Lakewood is a solid choice," said Rider head coach Barry Davis, the 2013 MAAC Coach of the Year. "They have experience holding tournaments in the past."
"We're excited that FirstEnergy Park will be the site of the 2014 MAAC Baseball Championship. It is a top-notch facility, and that's something we always strive for when holding our championship events," Ensor noted. "We want our institutions and their student-athletes to be able to experience and enjoy a memorable setting such as this."
"The objective of the MAAC member schools and the MAAC office leadership was to find a location that would present an outstanding championship experience to our student athletes and coaches," added John D'Argenio, director of athletics at Siena College and Chairman of the MAAC's Baseball Committee. "FirstEnergy Park gives us a quality field and ancillary space that our teams will enjoy, and most important, we will be able to offer our teams and their family and friends an enjoyable in-game experience."
FirstEnergy Park is the home of the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Single A minor league affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies that plays in the South Atlantic League. The park features 6,588 seats, 20 luxury suites and a 23-foot by 23-foot video scoreboard.
"Monmouth University is looking forward to hosting the 2014 MAAC Baseball Championships. We are delighted that FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood was chosen as the 2014 site. It is a wonderful facility and will serve the MAAC schools well," said Marilyn McNeil, director of athletics at Monmouth. "Even better, it is a great commute for our fans and a terrific place to spend an afternoon in May."
The 2014 MAAC Baseball Championship will feature a six-team field for the first time ever. "Lakewood will be an excellent venue for our league to play its first ever six team tournament," Davis said. "We hope to be a part of it."
It will be a double elimination tournament with three games scheduled for May 21-23, and either one or two games on May 24 to determine the champion. May 25 is set as a rain date.
Last year's championship went down to the final at-bat in the bottom of the ninth before Canisius edged Siena, 12-11, for the title. The 2013 MAAC Championship was held at Arm & Hammer Park in Trenton, home of the New York Yankees Double A affiliate Trenton Thunder.

TutorialsDataObject as Pages: The Module
24 January 2012 | |Tweet
It's been a while since we published the DataObject as Pages series of tutorials, which have proved to be particularly popular. At Aab Web we use those techniques regularly as a way to allow our clients to mange large amounts of flat content or content that is distributed in multiple places throughout a site. Although the final implementations in each project are often varied and bespoke, they all start with the basics outlined in those tutorials, so it made sense for us to build a starting point to work from (and include some more complex features at the same time). That starting point is this module, catchily entitled: DataObject as Pages.Continue reading...

I have also taken the liberty of including a zip file which contains all the code examples from Tys tutorial + the new controller and the new URL rule for it.Continue reading...
TutorialsControllers Instead of Pages
25 January 2011 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
SilverStripe is great for working with Pages in the CMS. But what if you need functionality without the need for content or all the "data fluff," like in Aram's tutorial about user registration and profile editing. Well, believe it or not, SilverStripe is a pretty solid MVC platform, even if you're working outside of the page data objects. It took me a while to understand how to implement true-ish MVC in SilverStripe, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to share.Continue reading...
