A winner of five national competitions and one international violin competition (CMC in Montreal), Mr. Stegeman currently performs approximately 75 concerts a year as Concertmaster, Chamber Musician, and Soloist in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and The Caribbean.
Well known for his artistic vision in the creation of music festivals, Mr. Stegeman has founded several festivals including the Western Slope Music Festival (Crested Butte, CO), the Sunflower Music Festival (Topeka, KS), Buzzards Bay Music Festival (Cape Cod, MA), and Music Fest Midwest (Kansas City, KS). He also serves as Concertmaster at international festivals such as the St. Bart's Music Festival in the French West Indies, the Music Academy of the West (2000-2003), the French / American Chamber Ensemble in the Cher Valley, France (1991-2000), the Canadian National Repertory Orchestra in Hamilton, Ontario, and the FEMUSC Festival in Santa Catarina, Brazil. He has been involved in the raising of millions of dollars to support classical music at these festivals, most recently having raised funding to commission Los Angeles composer Bruce Broughton to write a concerto for chamber orchestra for the Twentieth Anniversary of the Sunflower Music Festival.
Having resided in Pittsburgh for 20 years, Mr. Stegeman is currently Chair of Strings at Duquesne University and Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Azusa Pacific University (Azusa, CA).

Can I add raw vegetables to the Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe? If so, when should I add them to the pot. Thank You, Connie
By Constance Carbone on January 20, 2014
Yum! Delicious and easy mid week meal!! I like to use red wine vs a white chardonnay when making this recipe with beef, but either way is delicious Thanks for another 'keeper' recipe Paula and thank you for sharing your gift of fabulous dishes.

By susann on September 02, 2013
This pot roast is the best! My kids love it. I sub the cream of mushroom with either cream of onion or cream of celery. I usually leave out the wine just because we don't have any on hand. (We're beer drinkers- My hubby and I NOT the kids) If we have wine I will add it to the recipe. This is one of my favorites on a chilly day. So good with mashed potatoes & corn or carrots. Also love Paula's BBQ meatloaf. Check that out too.
By Mary Beth on September 01, 2013
Melissa, substitute cream of celery for cream of mushroom.
By Vince on April 28, 2013
I love this recipe! However, I want to make it for family but cannot use the cream of mushroom soup because a family member is allergic to mushrooms. Can you recommend a different soup to use but still get the same awesome flavor?
By Melissa on March 26, 2013
I made this for our Christmas brunch and it was amazing!!!
By Andrea Morrow on January 13, 2013
I just love your recipes..but i do have a ????..i see a lot of chef's recipes for pot roast say to use chuck...I have always used rump..Is there a big difference with the cut of meat? I will be cooking this one on sunday hope it comes out as good as your looks.
By lsocha1 on December 01, 2012
Paula, Your Pot Roast was 'Out of this world'!
By Blackberry Cobbler on October 07, 2012
I have made this pot roast several times and have loved it every time! I think this is the best receipe for a roast I have ever had.
By Linda on July 19, 2012
Very good! Not too salty like most roast recipes. I use cabernet instead of chardonnay. I also make gravy / sauce as follows...places more wine and leftover liquid in a sauce pan and reduce it until it caramelizes.
By Todd on May 20, 2012
Hi, Is there a subsitute for the wine i could use?
By Alexandra on December 18, 2011
Paula, Thank you for the above recipe. (braised pot roast) I will be trying it very soon. I have a new Dutch oven and this sounds just like the perfect dish to start with. I was wondering tho if it would be okay to add a few small turnips with the veggies? I think they would give the dish a good flavor and I just love turnips anyway that they can be fixed. Your e-mail cooking friend Joe Thomas
By Joe Thomas on November 29, 2011
ilove you and your cooking it make life so fun and easy for me
By merlande Joseph on October 13, 2011
I was wondering if this was a recipe can be made in a slow cooker as well, and if so, how do you (if you have to) adjust the liquid amounts and cook time?
By Kathy on October 06, 2011
Hi Camille, If you don't want to use the wine, you could use white grape juice.
By Jonathan Able on September 28, 2011
I'm so looking forward to making Paula's recipe for slow cooker pot roast! But what can I substitute for the wine? Thank you. Camille
By CAMILLE SCIFO on September 20, 2011
Delicious! This was the first time I have made a roast and it turned out right! My husband didn't even want to share with the kids, lol! Thanks Paula!

Justin Bieber can be insulting, arrogant, snotty, ignorant and disrespectful ... and all in one sitting -- because that's exactly what he was like during his deposition last week in the lawsuit where his bodyguard allegedly beat up a photog.
TMZ obtained a copy of the entire 4 1/2 hour, videotaped depo ... and it's just unreal. We've boiled it down to what we think are the best 4 clips.
1. ARROGANT BIEBER -- He just can't hide his contempt for the photog's lawyer, and it comes out in pretty awful ways. We put some snippets together and you'll get the idea. It represents his attitude throughout the depo.
2. LOVESICK BIEBER -- Selena Gomez is clearly a hot button, because when the lawyer asks about her, everyone goes nuclear. Bieber eventually rips his mic off and he and his lawyer storm out.
3. CONTENTIOUS BIEBER -- He compares his interrogation to being grilled by Katie Couric or "60 Minutes." Simply hilarious.
4. DISRESPECTFUL BIEBER -- When asked if Usher discovered him, Bieber disses his mentor and says he was actually discovered on YouTube. The best part ... he clearly was trying to say he himself was instrumental in his success, but instead he says, "I was detrimental to my own career."
Truer words have never been spoken.
OMG lmao is he serious? He thinks he's being a bad a$s but he's acting like a 7 year old whiny brat. So gross. He is weird.
He's just a punk . . . an uneducated illiterate punk . . .
Is that his MOTHER'S jacket ?
It would have been so much better if they had smacked him with a LARGE PHONE BOOK after each of his responses....
Wow he has some major issues what a fool.
Can't wait till he is in jail. He strikes me a person he will do so well locked up! ;)
This kid may just be the biggest jerk in all of entertainment. I feel sorry for people who defend him.
Most of us went through that stage, maybe not to that extreme , but what people don't realize is all these celebrities are real people, they're not super heroes or have super powers or are aliens or belong to secret societies, they are human beings and human beings make mistakes. Like that famous dude once said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
I'm surprised this was made public while the suit is still pending.
Justin Bieber can be insulting, arrogant, snotty, ignorant and disrespectful ... and all in one sitting --.........................I THINK BIEBER DESERVES A WHOLE MONTH OF DEEP PASSION WITH JASON COLLINS, I APPROVE :-)
What an idiot!
Remember when Lil' Wayne did the SE kind of crap in a lawsuit and then lost to the tune of 2 million? Then whined about it? I see the see the same type of thing in Bieber's future.
WoW! A good reason to stay in school regaurdless of your success. He is a moron! Who can stand to be around this little twerp? Id rathed roll around on some razor blades and jump in salt water!
He has more $$ than some Country's and as far as his talent, personality and brains-he's worthless. Bankrupt. Sad. Did he ever graduate? A terrible role model for tweens! Parents need to wake up and know who your kids idolize. He could do so much good with his $$. He needs God in his life.
LOL he really did morph into Zack Morris from the singing group
All those dum bieber fans make me hate people even more....if he killed someone theyd be like everyone makes mistakes

4 stocks that love stalled home sales
Home-improvement stocks already look strong, and continued weakness in home sales can only make them stronger.
The current environment is bad news if you're trying to sell your home -- prices haven't been this low since the first season of "American Idol." (That's 2002 for you non-Ryan Seacrest fans.)
The Case-Shiller national home price index reported a 4% drop in Q4 2011, marking the biggest decline since 2008. Since the market peaked in Q2 2006, home prices have dropped 33.8%.
This disappointing trend comes despite pockets of recovery in other parts of the economic world. Industrial production has been gaining ground, for example, and consumer confidence is at an annual high. Even the unemployment rate is moving lower, finally, though perhaps not for long.
Every cloud has a silver lining, however, and most negative market trends have some beneficiaries. The group of companies that may be enjoying a little schadenfreude at the expense of homeowners are home-improvement retailers such as Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW), Fastenal (FAST) and Sherwin-Williams (SHW). Respectively, this quartet of stocks has returned 38%, 35%, 63% and 38% over the past six months.
The rationale behind this relationship is twofold: First, consumers desperate to sell their homes may pour additional funds into improvements to make the property more attractive to buyers. Second, homeowners who realize they may not be able to sell might opt to spend on upgrades rather than shop around for a new place.
Technically speaking, HD is looking quite strong. The stock has rallied to a new 52-week high along support from its 10-day and 20-day moving averages. What's more, the shares recently overtook the $44-to-$45 region, which acted as price-level resistance throughout 2004-2006.
HD is now trading at levels not seen since -- what a coincidence -- 2002. Meanwhile, earnings have continued to grow at a 16% annual rate, and the stock's price-to-earnings ratio, at 19.1, is on par with HD's competitors.
Home Depot's top rival, Lowe's, is trying to overtake some technical resistance of its own. The stock has been muscling higher since last fall and is currently trying to break out above the $28 level. While this proved insurmountable for LOW in April 2010 and March 2011, the stock's current momentum may be enough to power it through this resistance.
Traders looking for a possible entry point should watch for a breakout above $30. Low's earnings growth is lower than HD's, at 8% year-over-year, but the stock's price-to-earnings ratio is lower as well, at 16.5.
FAST has been in a steady uptrend since late 2009, gaining roughly 150% since the beginning of 2010. Currently, the stock is exploring new all-time-high territory. Quarterly earnings have met or exceeded analysts' estimates in each of the past eight quarters, and year-over-year earnings have grown at a rate of over 20%. One caveat: FAST's price-to-earnings ratio stands at 42.6, well above the average in the industrials sector (19.0) or the S&P 500 (18.5).
Finally, the principal of paint -- SHW. Nothing spruces up a room more quickly and inexpensively than a new color, and SHW is happy to help. Year-over-year, earnings have grown by more than 18% and are predicted to keep edging higher in the next half-decade. Like FAST, SHW is currently trading near an all-time high and recently entered triple-digit territory.
Finally, if you like this overall theory, another name to consider that is adjacent to the home-improvement sector is Sears Holdings (SHLD), which has been rallying lately in the wake of some strategic changes. Valspar Corp. (VAL), another paint and coatings manufacturer, could also participate in any upside.
For those interested in Sears, I would suggest researching the pros and cons of owning its stock before making any final decisions.
As of this writing, Beth Gaston Moon does not own shares of any company mentioned here.

(Bernd Debusmann is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own)
Tough marijuana laws are driving millions of Americans to a more dangerous mood-altering substance, alcohol. The unintended consequence: violence and thousands of unnecessary deaths. It's time, therefore, for a serious public debate of the case for marijuana versus alcohol.
That's the message groups advocating the legalization of marijuana are beginning to press, against a background of shifting attitudes which have already prompted 13 states to relax draconian laws dating back to the 1930s, when the government ended alcohol prohibition and began a determined but futile effort to stamp out marijuana.
How dismally that effort has failed is not in doubt. Marijuana is so easily available that around 100 million Americans have tried it at least once and some 15 million use it regularly, according to government estimates. The U.S. marijuana industry, in terms of annual retail sales, has been estimated to be almost as big as the alcohol industry — $113 billion and $130 billion respectively. On a global scale, marijuana is the world's most widely used illicit drug.
Since the United States, and much of the rest of the world, plunged into a recession last year, the most frequently used argument in favour of legalizing marijuana has been economic: if it were taxed, the revenue would help stimulate economic recovery just as a gusher of dollars in fresh tax revenue from alcohol helped the United States pull out of the Great Depression after the 1933 repeal of prohibition.
That idea enrages some leading drug warriors, including the head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa. In the preface to the U.N.'s 2009 World Drug Report, he asks whether proponents of legalization and taxation also favour legalizing and taxing human trafficking and modern-day slavery "to rescue failed banks."

A Macomb County woman will spend the rest of her life in prison after a judge denied her request for a fifth trial in the bathtub drowning of her 4-year-old grandson.
In March a Macomb County jury convicted Terry Borgia of first-degree murder and first-degree child abuse in DeAngelo Tobia's 2010 slaying. Circuit Court Judge Peter Maceroni affirmed that Wednesday before sentencing the 64-year-old Borgia.
Borgia stood trial three earlier times before she was found guilty of first-degree murder in her fourth trial.
DeAngelo drowned at a Clinton Township apartment Borgia shared with her adult daughter, Tonina, who is the boy's aunt and has been on medications for mental issues.
DeAngelo's mother Amelia Alkasmikha and father Bashar told the judge they are not convinced Tonina was not involved in the child's death. "We just want justice for our son," Amelia Alkasmikha said.

Customer Reviews
This laser is...so far...the most awesome little shooting assist I've added to weigh down my AR in some time...now to find the best way to arrange this part with the rail-estate I have available on my rifle
There is no better laser on the market for rifles and shotguns. The bright green dot is easily visible in daylight to beyond 200yds, even in bright sunlight there is no problem following it at 100. It has proven itself on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I placed my order which included two Beamshot laser sights model number GB800M. The sights looked great, but unfortunately, both Beamshot GB800Ms failed to work when I mounted the momentary triggers on the rifle. As an additional problem, the momentary switch cords were too short for the application. ...and to the best of my knowledge, Beamshot does NOT make a wire to address that problem. I sent them back to Sportsman's Guide with no problem.
I have bought the cheap lasers before. This is exactly what was described and is well worth the price. It is mounted on my SOCOM 2 with several hundred rounds having been spent. It still functions perfectly. Thank you again SG!!!
Laser Sight is well made and I plan to mount it on a Sig P522 soon.
I have not installed.

When a young boy with cerebral palsy played in a wrestling match late last year, a video of the event went viral on YouTube.Jared Stevens, a 13-year-old at Sunset Middle School in Williamson County who suffers from severe cerebral palsy, had his first wrestling match against a student at Freedom Middle School.Justin Kievit volunteered to be Jared's opponent and helped him experience the thrill of victory."I pulled him up and slid right under, and just had him right here, and that still counts as a pin," Justin said.The video of Jared's victory has hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and has touched the hearts of people across the country.The two boys became instant celebrities, but the added attention was overwhelming for Jared.His wrestling coach, John Sandella, said Jared didn't want to wrestle anymore after his first match."He wad done. He was very tearful that week and he told me, he kept telling me, 'I don't deserve this. I don't understand why all this attention is on me', and he didn't want to wrestled again," Coach Sandella explained.But on Wednesday, Jared is back on the mat. The season is over, but the team is preparing for summer workouts with Jared right there in the mix."I said, 'You know what, Jared, at this point it's really stopped being about you… it's about what people are gaining from what you did," the Coach explained.He continued, "If this young man, who's in a wheelchair, who has these challenges, if he can step out and challenge himself, and do something that most people say that he can't do, or shouldn't do even, then maybe the challenges I'm facing aren't so insurmountable."
Jared's story continues to inspire others.
ABC's Good Morning America is planning a special surprise for both Jared and Justin.

Can a country with a large population find better and more efficient solutions to its problems under Communism?
I am from India, the world's largest democracy. I do believe in democracy but somehow, when it comes to finding solutions to problems, a communist government seems to find effective solutions most of the time.
Is communism a better approach towards problems being faced by a country with a large population or is it something which can cost us our individual rights and liberal thinking in the process of enforcing "good" solutions to solve our problems?
This occurred to me when I took a look at China, which is a major force to reckon with in today's world. It has found solutions to a lot of its problems and has been able to solve them because they were able to enforce those solutions, being communist.

Feb 16 2013: Kate: I agree that one must sacrifice their individual human rights for a communist government. And yes I am aware of how China has been treating it's citizens and how it still has press restrictions. I do see how getting rid of corruption is imperative for the smooth functioning of the government. But the government is corrupt at every level possible and there is a vicious cycle of corruption now. In order to remove corrupt practices from our system, the way India thinks and acts must change, which can take a rather long time. Right now there is almost no reason for being a clean honest person other than having a clear conscience and having a good set of morals. People have no reason to stop being corrupt. But to effectively remove corruption from our systems quickly enough, we need something to push us to do it, where we have no choice. But to establish such a mechanism is close to impossible and illogical. It is not the large population that scares me, it is the majority of that population which the political class is able to control by giving them free things, etc. Can you think of any effective mechanism which would help?
Comment deleted
Mar 6 2013: I agree, our country has all the means through which we can solve our problems, it's the attitude of the people that bothers me more. Bribing is so common here, that if you don't bribe somebody to get your job done, they'll look at you like your crazy. They don't seem to care about what that small 200 rupee bribe can lead to.
On the brighter side, my generation is finally realizing what's happening around us. It was only the idea of complete control which communism offered which seemed like the only quick solution to me. But now I realize that there is no quick solution. I was angry at the way people misuse their freedom and I thought snatching away their rights would do better since they clearly can't use their freedom in the right way. But I see now that our system is not at fault, it's the people who are in it that are at fault. And I also think that it's not possible for China to conquer us. We have way too much freedom to allow somebody to take them away.
Thanks for your contribution! :)

When Porsche announced the release of the second generation Cayenne , everyone expected to see some significant changes for the luxury SUV's exterior. This didn't happen so its Je Design 's job to release its new Progessor tuning kit that adds some amazing changes to the exterior look, as well as increases the total output to 610 HP (for the Turbo version).
The exterior package for the Cayenne starts with a new front skirt with optimized air intakes, two low-mounted fog lamps, and two high beam lights. The sports hood has received three air outlets for improved ventilation, while the rear of the vehicle gets four huge tailpipes (each with a diameter of 100 millimeters), a diffuser, and a side roof spoiler extension.
Under the hood, Je Design is offering a power upgrade for both the diesel and petrol versions, with the most amazing update being offered for the Turbo model. The Cayenne Turbo goes from the standard 500 to a whopping 610 HP. Next to the extra power, the tuner is also offering a pretty impressive air suspension module which can be controlled via an iPhone app. The last piece of the puzzle is a new set of 22" alloy rims offered in a Scorpio design in matte black with a silver front, or in the SUV Select Design which comes in matte black, silver shadow, or polished front and matte graphite.

Open government wins in appeals court

The National Newspaper Association today expressed its approval of a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that upholds the Texas Open Meetings Law. A group of city government officials had argued that requiring them to discuss their work in open meetings was a violation of their own free speech rights.
But the court said the Texas law's requirements were not a First Amendment violation.
"Transparency is furthered by allowing the public to have access to government decision making," the court said.
The case is Asgeirsson v. Abbott, handed down Sept. 25, 2012. Asgeirsson and a group of fellow city council members in Alpine, TX, have carried on a long-running court battle over the Texas Open Meetings Act because of the criminal penalties in the law. Following two indictments against city council members for holding e-mail discussions about public matters without complying with open meeting requirements, local officials sued. Though the indictments were dropped, some local council members continued to argue that fear of criminal prosecution was inhibiting their free speech. Over more than six years, dozens of local Texas officials and five cities have been involved in multiple appeals because of the open meetings law's requirements.
The appeals court's decision today upholds a district court decision that the open meetings law may affect the officials' speech, but that because the law applies regardless of the content of the speech it does not offend the First Amendment.
NNA President Reed Anfinson said the court had put the emphasis in the proper place: the public's right to know.
"This was an issue about public officials having an obligation to speak their minds in front of their constituents. Doing so requires courage at times, but it is essential so that these public servants are on the record with their thoughts. Whatever they have to say may be insightful or show simple common sense on a matter before the elected body. But their comments can also reveal prejudice, ignorance, and self-serving motives, all of which the voting public has a fundamental right to hear and judge, "Anfinson said.
NNA appeared in an amicus brief before the court authored on behalf of Belo Corp. and other newspaper associations by James Ho, an attorney with Gibson Dunn and Crutcher in Dallas.

Gossip: Is Kate Middleton having a girl?
Did Kate Middleton accidentally let the cat out of the bag when it comes to whether she and Prince William are having a boy or a girl? During a public appearance this week, Middleton was given a teddy bear as a gift and said, "Thank you, I'll take that for my d…" before cutting herself off, according to the Telegraph. Attendee Sandra Cook, who was standing beside Middleton, asked her, "You were going to say daughter, weren't you?" to which Middleton reportedly replied, "No, I don't know." Cook says that when she pressed the Duchess of Cambridge further, she received a firm "We're not telling" in response.
Taylor Swift is making some powerful enemies. In response to Amy Poehler and Tina Fey's joke at Swift's expense at January's Golden Globes ceremony. "You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people," Swift tells Vanity Fair. "She said to me she had heard a quote that she loved that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.'" While Fey expressed surprise at Swift's annoyance, Poehler has a response of her own: "Aw, I feel bad if she was upset," Poehler tells the Hollywood Reporter. "I am a feminist, and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff."
Lady Gaga's fans are continuing the singer's feud with Madonna whether she wants them to or not, this time even accusing the "Material Girl" singer of helping the spread of AIDS. In a post on the Gaga fan blog Little Monster Artpop, a Gaga fan criticizes the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) for picking Madonna to present an award to Anderson Cooper at their awards ceremony next week. "Back in the 1980s, she encouraged gay men to have unprotected sex," read the post, which was removed shortly after garnering media attention. "While she certainly didn't start the disease, she and her lack of morals helped it spread. The post's author vowed to "strike back" in an unspecified manner if GLAAD did not choose another presenter.
James Franco is willing to admit he's at least partially responsible for any speculation about whether he's gay or straight. "One of the things that's very much part of my public image is the question of my sexuality," he tells Attitude magazine. "It's not something that bothers me in the slightest. It hasn't gone away, and I get asked about it from all sides. It's partly my doing and partly not my doing." From the roles he chooses to his directing efforts, homosexuality has been a popular topic for Franco. But what he's really interested in is a high-profile actor coming out of the closet. "I think that the people I have known who are performers who haven't publicly come out didn't because they're afraid it'll hurt their careers," he says. "And they're afraid they won't be able to play straight roles anymore. If there's somebody that was well-respected and very secure with their career, I could see it happening in a very positive way."
MTV has released its extensive "Hottest MCs" list, and Kanye West is not pleased to find himself sitting at the No. 7 spot. "I feel like for them to put me at No. 7, they had to bring up things they didn't like," he says during a call into New York's Hot 97 radio station. "What happens with these type of things and the people that review it, when I come in and I have the pink polo and the backpack, I'm checking all the boxes of that a Tribe Called Quest era and all that, so they want to champion it. They don't like Givenchy Kanye. They don't like Kanye in a kilt, they don't like Kanye in a relationship."

In this game, Galio is repeatedly exhausted everytime he uses his ultimate ability. However, Galio's ultimate roots him to one place. What's the purpose of exhausting Galio when he uses his ult?
exhausting also reduces attack and ability damage:
and if you have improved from talents it also reduces resists
The reason regarding 35% damage reduction might be the after-the-fact justification for why people do this, but honestly it is more likely that it is a gut reaction to a fight-changing ability like Galio's Ultimate. They know that they want to do SOMETHING to stop him, and perhaps exhaust is all they have, so they throw it down. I cannot think of a situation where exhausting an ulting Galio would be more valuable than saving it for a more dangerous enemy champion.
Just my two cents.
Well the purpose of using exhaust on Galio while he's channeling is that you will lover the amount of dmg he will do. With that in mind you're not aiming for movement speed because he mustn't move while channeling, the only goal is to make his ulti do less dmg than intended.
I think the damage from Galio's ult is pretty negligible. After all, Galio builds pretty tanky, and his ult damage is based on all the auto-attacks he receives, which isn't going to be that much for the short duration. The game-changing ability of Galio's ult of course is the AoE CC that it does to the enemy team. When combined with any other good AoE comp, you can completely devastate teamfights.
In short, I would say the team who exhausted Galio messed up or misclicked. Exhaust is a defensive spell primarily as it can make champions who deal insane damage suddenly deal no damage. They should be saved for Carries, primarily burst carries.

Even though I was born in Boston, I call Casper my home. Growing up here, I attended local Elementary, Jr. High and High Schools in Casper. Let me just say, "Go KW Trojans!" I became familiar with Casper College at a young age by attending sporting events, Key Camp and other fun activities on campus. I started my college career at Casper College in 1997. I graduated with an A.A. in Human Communication and then attended UW/CC and the University of Wyoming to obtain my B.S. in Mass Media Communication. I finished at the University with my M.A. in Interpersonal Communication with the emphasis in Gender Communication in 2005 and decided I wanted to come back and teach at the place that inspired me in so many ways…Casper College. I feel so lucky to be a Communication Instructor, Assistant Speech & Debate Coach and Director of the Oral Communication Lab on campus.
I teach a variety of classes in the Communication discipline:

An introduction to the nature and function of human symbolic communication in its various settings. The role of symbolic communication on the interpersonal level as a method of establishing and defining human relationships will be examined, as will the relationship of symbolic communication to the establishment and maintenance of larger behavioral, economic, and cultural processes and structures.

For all of us, our children are our biggest grief and worry when we consider the possibility of an early death. This is surely not true only for women with breast cancer, but applies to everyone with any diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. Earlier this week, I met with a 45 year old man who has just been diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer; he and his wife were overwhelmed, devastated and most focused on what to tell their two young sons about their father's illness. Their worries were compounded by the reality that another family member and a close friend had both died of cancer within the past year. It was real to recognize that their boys were likely to make the immediate assumption that this would be their dad's fate, too.
The basic advice about talking with children is to give them honest, age-appropriate information. I often frame it as using the same model one would for sex education: try to speak matter-of-factly, use the real words, don't flood them with too much information at once, but make it clear that this is a subject that can be discussed over and over. I also suggest that parents tell their children directly something like this: "I will always tell you the truth. I promise I will let you know if it is time to worry. This is not that time."
I easily and painfully remember telling my daughters each time of my cancer diagnosis. The second time was not easier; practice didn't help. In some ways, the second time was harder as they were 12 years older and much more aware of the realities. This is a common conversation in my office, with groups and with individual women. We struggle and weep and sometimes practice what to say. One wonderful woman who attends my group for women with advanced breast cancer decided to call a family meeting soon after getting some really bad news. She and her husband sat with their adult daughters, and she opened with: "We need to be honest with each other in order to get through this together. I will tell you what most frightens me, and you need to tell me the same. Then we will figure out how to deal with each of our fears." This worked, and she and her family have continued to support and love each other through her very serious illness.
Some of you are familiar with Lisa Bonchek Adam's blog, and this is an especially moving and thoughtful essay about a conversation with her teenage daughter. I give you the beginning and a link:
The Hardest Conversation
From the time my oldest child Paige was born everyone kept telling me, "Just you wait." When she made it through the terrible twos without much of a tantrum. When she made it through elementary school and a move from NYC without trouble. "Just you wait," they said, "girls are drama. You got lucky before. But the teen years? Oh boy... just you wait."
Today she prepared me a bowl of soup and brought it up to my bedroom. I was resting after my surgery yesterday, the room was dark. I invited her to come snuggle with me in the big bed. We've never let our children sleep in our bed so they think climbing in is a big treat. I asked her if she wanted to talk about what was going on, about my news about having metastatic breast cancer. She did.
And so it began: an hour-long talk that started with her first question, "Are you scared?" She asked questions about genetics and risks of getting cancer to what kind of treatments I might need. She asked me again, as if to confirm for herself, "It's not curable, right?"

Recognize your mentor!
Mentorship is an important element of a successful career in any field. Physicians who have had mentors report having more career satisfaction and believe that these relationships have positively affected their job satisfaction and promotions in their field.
However, multiple studies have documented that a significant number of young physicians report not having a mentor throughout training and the early stages of their careers. Within the field of dermatology, mentorship has recently been emphasized in many training programs via assigned mentors resulting in a high degree of resident satisfaction.1
Mentoring is not a stand-alone activity, but one that complements and integrates with other learning elements and fills the gaps between the textbooks, courses and everyday experiences.

Publication: The Day
New London - The former mayor of New London, who has been on the Board of Ethics for more than 10 years, said Thursday she will participate in proceedings involving a dispute between a city councilor and the police chief, despite being accused of having a conflict of interest.
Eunice Waller, who has publicly supported Police Chief Margaret Ackley, said Wednesday she will not recuse herself from the Nov. 16 ethics board hearing. The board is set to hear testimony on Ackely's charge that City Councilor Michael Buscetto III violated the city's Code of Ethics when he participated in closed-door City Council meetings involving complaints the chief made against him.
"Because I have an opinion doesn't mean I can't hear the case,'' Waller said Thursday. "I didn't do anything wrong. ... I had a right to express myself.''
Waller made comments in support of Ackley at a City Council meeting in September, before Ackley had filed her complaint with the ethics board.
Waller added that she will check with the state Board of Ethics. She initially said she could step down if asked to do so, when a member of the public raised the conflict issue in September.
Buscetto, who is running as a write-in candidate for mayor, requested Wednesday that four members of the ethics board - Chairman K. Robert Lewis, Dennis Downing, Brian Giesing and Waller - step down from the proceedings because of conflicts of interest.
Giesing, who is running for City Council, agreed to recuse himself, because if he is elected on Tuesday, he would not be able to continue on the board.
Lewis and Downing declined.
If all four members had recused themselves, there would have been no quorum Wednesday night and the proceedings could not have gone forward.
In a separate inquiry, the City Council has hired a retired Superior Court judge to investigate allegations that Buscetto interfered with police department business. Ackley appeared before the council this past summer and complained about Buscetto's behavior and threatened a lawsuit.
Ackley filed the ethics complaint after that meeting, alleging that Buscetto should not have participated in the discussion.
The ethics board hearing is set to begin at 5 p.m. Nov. 16. A second hearing date has been set for 5 p.m. Nov. 30.

Dear Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama,
I'm writing to suggest that you and other officials don't bother with your "investigation" into whether or not the United States has ever stationed nuclear weapons in Japan. All you need to do is spend about 10 minutes on the Internet and you'll find the answer written in plain English.
In the 1990s, U.S. government documents declassified under the Freedom of Information Act stated unequivocally that nuclear-armed naval vessels often visited Japan's ports. In 1956, no fewer than 13 separate U.S. military facilities in Japan had nuclear weapons or components stored, or were earmarked to receive nuclear weapons in times of crisis or war.
It was reported in 1997 that when the aircraft carrier USS Midway was stationed in Yokosuka in 1972, the U.S. State Department proposed that its nuclear weapons be offloaded prior to entering Japan. The chief of U.S. naval operations rejected the request, and the Midway was subsequently allowed to be stationed in Yokosuka for the next 20 years — with nuclear weapons aboard.
U.S. Navy documents also revealed that in 1965 the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga carried nuclear weapons into Japan, as did the USS Kitty Hawk in 1979.
A Cold War-era Pentagon document concluded that the Japanese government "tacitly had accepted" the existence of nuclear weapons in Japan's ports, and a U.S. National Security Council document written in 1969 concluded that "Japan now acquiesces" in port visits by nuclear- armed warships.
A 1999 report by the Nautilus Institute, an American research think tank, stated that "the United States routinely brought nuclear weapons into Japan during the Cold War, despite Japan's nonnuclear policy." Japanese government officials knowingly accepted these deployments, and urged the U.S. to conceal the armaments of its nuclear ships.
Most of this information was revealed in the American media 10 years ago. In 1999, the New York Times twice reported the visits of nuclear-armed U.S. warships to Japan. Time ran an article revealing the visits back in 1981, based on a Mainichi Shimbun interview with a former U.S. ambassador to Japan, Edwin Reischauer, who discussed the U.S. nuclear ship visits in his book "Japan: The Story of a Nation," also published in 1981. According to Time, nuclear weapons routinely visited Japanese ports, but the U.S. did not view the entry of nuclear-armed vessels into Japan's waters as violating any agreement. As for the Japanese government, it had "quietly accepted the fact," said the magazine.
And yet, despite the overwhelming evidence of nuclear weapons in Japan, and despite the wide reporting of it, we now hear that the government is investigating "stopovers" by ships and planes carrying nuclear weapons. But the visits were not mere stopovers.
How can anyone possibly believe that all those U.S. planes and ships based in Japan were not nuclear-armed? And how can so many Japanese be unaware of this issue when it has been widely reported in the American media?
The current probe should be called off and replaced with another investigation — into how so many people blinded themselves to what was happening in their own country.
Submissions to Hotline to Nagatacho should address issues that affect your life in Japan or be in response to government policies. Please imagine you are actually writing to a government official — be it a local school board head or the prime minister himself — to bring attention to an important matter. Send submissions for Hotline to Nagatacho of between 500 and 600 words to email@example.com

Mark, gay, is in his thirties, a computer specialist working on the support team of a prestigious London firm of accountants. Unsurprisingly in such a stuffy firm he is not out about being gay, although he is other elsewhere open about his sexuality. He is a rising star in the firm and a favourite of Peter, the ambitious young partner who enlists Mark's help in his campaign against "the old codgers", the stuffy reactionary older partners. Soon Mark is promoted to head his department, but when office politics begin to threaten any hopes of a peaceful life Mark is ready to look elsewhere for employment.
He does not need to look far, the opportunity is there waiting for him. Through his new boyfriend, Tom, he has met Tom's friend and benefactor the older Andrew, gay owner of a local garden centre with a sideline in property development. Andrew had already suggested to Mark that the dilapidated Goodmans Villa, a large Victorian semi-detached house would make an ideal gay hotel. Mark decides now is the time to take up the offer.
Mark takes us through his rise within the firm of accountants, his meeting with Tom and Andrew, and the eventual opening of the hotel. It is not until halfway through the story does Mark get to open his hotel, and much of the lead up to that centres on his work with long passages about his work and computing, although not entirely. There is the charming encounter with George, about twenty years, the slightly retarded son of the hotel proprietress in France, who open-mindedly is happy to allow his fraternisation with Mark. We also discover how he meets Tom, Mark's complete opposite, the rough speaking relatively uneducated electrician/plumber, and follow their up and down relationship. Then there is Darren, the delightful eighteen year old runaway waif, one of the existing tenants of Goodmans Villa and who stays on to be taken under Mark's protective wing.
There are a few amusing episodes involving guests at Goodmans Hotel, and a few more dangerous incidents Mark finds himself involved in. But against the background of all that happens over two of three years of Mark's tale we follow Mark's relationship with Tom. A love affair but not without problems, while they are open with each other it eventually comes out that there is something Tom has kept back, when it comes out Mark worries about its implications, can he continue the relationship?
This is a generally good read, it does get somewhat bogged down in the first half with rather too much talk of computers and work politics, but that is offset to an extent with Mark and Tom's growing relationship. Matters do improve considerably in the second half of the book. The main characters are very appealing: Mark himself is very likeable, open and fair-minded, Tom's rough gentleness is endearing, Andrew is a thoughtful and caring man, and young Darren is a beauty in his spindly teenage gawkiness and enchanting manner. -Bembo,Goodreads

- Where can I get more information?
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking lovastatin and niacin (Advicor)?
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to niacin (Niaspan, Niacor, and others) or lovastatin (Altoprev, Mevacor), if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have liver disease, severe bleeding, or a stomach ulcer.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests:
- history of liver or kidney disease;
- diabetes;
- gout;
- a thyroid disorder;
- heart disease, or if you have recently had a heart attack;
- if you drink more than 2 alcoholic beverages daily; or
- if you are switched to this medication from regular niacin, nicotinic acid, or nicotinamide (or vitamin supplements that contain niacin).
In rare cases, lovastatin and niacin can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. This condition may be more likely to occur in older adults and in people who have kidney disease or poorly controlled hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use. Certain other drugs can increase your risk of serious muscle problems, and it is very important that your doctor knows if you are using any of them:
- danazol (Danocrine);
- nefazodone (an antidepressant);
- gemfibrozil (Lopid), fenofibric acid (Fibricor, Trilipix), or fenofibrate (Antara, Fenoglide, Lipofen, Lofibra, Tricor, Triglide);
- antibiotics such as clarithromycin (Biaxin), erythromycin (E.E.S., EryPed, Ery-Tab, Erythrocin), or telithromycin (Ketek);
- antifungal medications such as fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), or ketoconazole (Extina, Ketozole, Nizoral, Xolegal);
- HIV medications such as atazanavir (Reyataz), ritonavir (Norvir), lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), saquinavir (Invirase), and others;
- other medicines that contain niacin (Advicor, Niaspan, Niacor, Slo-Niacin, and others); or
- drugs that weaken your immune system, such as steroids, cancer medicine, or medicines used to prevent organ transplant rejection, such as cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune), sirolimus (Rapamune), or tacrolimus (Prograf).
FDA pregnancy category X. This medication can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not take lovastatin and niacin if you are pregnant.Stop taking this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Use effective birth control to avoid pregnancy while you are taking lovastatin and niacin.
Lovastatin and niacin may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not breast-feed while you are taking lovastatin and niacin.
How should I take lovastatin and niacin (Advicor)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Lovastatin and niacin is usually taken at bedtime with a low-fat snack. Do not take lovastatin and niacin on an empty stomach.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole.
Niacin can cause dizziness, sweating, chills, redness or tingly feeling, fast or pounding heartbeats, shortness of breath, or feeling like you might pass out. These side effects can be made worse if you drink alcohol or hot beverages shortly after you take lovastatin and niacin. These effects should disappear over time as you keep taking the medicine.
Your doctor may recommend you take aspirin 30 minutes before you take lovastatin and niacin to prevent certain side effects. Do not take aspirin without your doctor's advice about how much aspirin to take.
You may need to stop using lovastatin and niacin for a short time if you have surgery or a medical emergency. If you stop taking the medicine for longer than 7 days in a row, talk with your doctor before restarting the medication.
To be sure this medicine is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Your liver function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
Niacin can raise your blood sugar, and may cause unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using lovastatin and niacin.
Lovastatin and niacin is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Harlan J. Werner, the renowned sports and marketing agent who represents Muhammad Ali, Joe Namath, Sandy Koufax and many other superstar athletes, announced today that he has secured the motion picture rights to Operation Bullpen, the sensational story of the most notorious and successful gang of forgers and memorabilia crooks in American history.
Werner, who is a long-time sports memorabilia collector and dealer as well as co-owner of a national chain of retail movie memorabilia stores, made the acquisition along with film and television producer Art Horan.
"This story is a cross between 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and 'American Hustle,'" said Werner, referring to the Operation Bullpen saga in which a dysfunctional family of con artists, led by a conniving grandma and her pot-smoking son, fooled the FBI for years and ripped off a gullible American public for a cool $100 million. "It's a great story. It's very cinematic with broad appeal.
Operation Bullpen, by award-winning author Kevin Nelson, is widely regarded as the definitive insider's account of the explosive case that shook up the $1 billion a year memorabilia industry. The forgers and their accomplices were ordinary middle class people who went wild, living the Vegas high life, indulging in sex romps and spending lavishly, all the while churning out hundreds of thousands of fake autographs that were sold on TV, the Internet and in stores across the U.S.
Werner himself actively participated in the FBI's undercover investigation of the gang, as did his client Muhammad Ali. (The FBI's dramatic bust of the gang was the largest one-day takedown in Bureau history.) Ironically, Ali, Namath, Koufax, John Riggins and Jim Brown-all clients of Werner's at his Sports Placement Service firm-had their autographs forged and sold by the crooks.
In addition to his personal knowledge of the memorabilia and autograph industry, Werner executive produced the movie "Tyson" and consulted on "One Night in Vegas" for ESPN's 30 for 30 series.
Horan, a former Warner Bros. executive, was president of WMG Film Group where he was Executive Producer of "The Usual Suspects," a two-time Academy Award-winner.
