Michael Phelps voted AP male athlete of year
December 20, 2012
Now that he's away from the pool, Michael Phelps can reflect – really reflect – on what he accomplished.Pretty amazing stuff."It's kind of nuts to think about everything I've gone through," Phelps said. "I've finally had time to myself, to sit back and say, '… that really happened?' It's kind of shocking at times."Not that his career needed a capper, but Phelps added one more honor to his staggering list of accomplishments Thursday – The Associated Press male athlete of the year.Phelps edged out LeBron James to win the award for the second time, not only a fitting payoff for another brilliant Olympics (four gold medals and two silvers in swimming at the London Games) but recognition for one of the greatest careers in any sport.Phelps finished with 40 votes in balloting by U.S. editors and broadcasters, while James was next with 37. Track star Usain Bolt, who won three gold medals in London, was third with 23.Carl Lewis is the only other Olympic-related star to be named AP male athlete of the year more than once, taking the award for his track and field exploits in 1983 and '84. The only men honored more than twice are golf's Tiger Woods and cyclist Lance Armstrong (four times each), and basketball's Michael Jordan (three times)."Obviously, it's a big accomplishment," Phelps said. "There's so many amazing male athletes all over the world and all over our country. To be able to win this is something that just sort of tops off my career."Phelps retired at age 27 as soon as he finished his final race in London, having won more gold medals (18) and overall medals (22) than any other Olympian.No one else is even close."That's what I wanted to do," Phelps said. "Now that it's over, it's something I can look back on and say, 'That was a pretty amazing ride."'The current ride isn't so bad either.Set for life financially, he has turned his fierce competitive drive to golf, working on his links game with renowned coach Hank Haney as part of a television series on the Golf Channel. In fact, after being informed of winning the AP award, Phelps called in from the famed El Dorado Golf & Beach Club in Los Cabos, Mexico, where he was heading out with Haney to play a few more holes before nightfall."I can't really complain," Phelps quipped over the phone.Certainly, he has no complaints about his swimming career, which helped turn a sport that most Americans only paid attention to every four years into more of a mainstream pursuit.More kids took up swimming. More advertisers jumped on board. More viewers tuned in to watch.While swimming is unlikely to ever match the appeal of football or baseball, it has carved out a nice little niche for itself amid all the other athletic options in the United States – largely due to Phelps' amazing accomplishments and aw-shucks appeal.Just the fact that he won over James shows just how much pull Phelps still has. James had an amazing year by any measure: The league MVP won his first NBA title with the Miami Heat, picking up finals MVP honors along the way, and then starred on the gold medal-winning U.S. basketball team in London.Phelps already had won the AP award in 2008 after his eight gold medals in Beijing, which broke Mark Spitz's record. Phelps got it again with a performance that didn't quite match up to the Great Haul of China, but was amazing in its own right.After the embarrassment of being photographed taking a hit from a marijuana pipe and questioning whether he still had the desire to go on, Phelps returned with a vengeance as the London Games approached. Never mind that he was already the winningest Olympian ever. Never mind that he could've eclipsed the record for overall medals just by swimming on the relays.He wanted to be one of those rare athletes who went out on top."That's just who he is," said Bob Bowman, his longtime coach. "He just couldn't live with himself if knew he didn't go out there and give it good shot and really know he's competitive. He doesn't know anything else but to give that kind of effort and have those kind of expectations."Phelps got off to a rocky start in London, finishing fourth in the 400-meter individual medley, blown out of the water by his friend and rival, Ryan Lochte. It was only the second time that Phelps had not at least finished in the top three of an Olympic race, the first coming way back in 2000 when he was fifth in his only event of the Sydney Games as a 15-year-old.To everyone looking in, Lochte seemed poised to become the new Phelps – while the real Phelps appeared all washed up.But he wasn't going out like that.No way.Phelps rebounded to become the biggest star at the pool, edging Lochte in the 200 IM, contributing to a pair of relay victories, and winning his final individual race, the 100 butterfly. There were two silvers, as well, leaving Phelps with a staggering resume that will be awfully difficult for anyone to eclipse.His 18 golds are twice as many as anyone else in Olympic history. His 22 medals are four clear of Larisa Latynina, a Soviet-era gymnast, and seven more than the next athlete on the list. Heck, if Phelps was a nation, he'd be 58th in the medal standings, just one behind India (population: 1.2 billion)."When I'm flying all over the place, I write a lot in my journal," Phelps said. "I kind of relive all the memories, all the moments I had throughout my career. That's pretty special. I've never done that before. It's amazing when you see it all on paper."Four months into retirement, Phelps has no desire to get back in the pool. Oh, he'll swim every now and then for relaxation, using the water to unwind rather than putting in one of his famously grueling practices. Golf is his passion at the moment, but he's also found time to cheer on his hometown NFL team, the Baltimore Ravens, and start looking around for a racehorse that he and Bowman can buy together.Phelps hasn't turned his back on swimming, either. He's got his name attached to a line of schools that he wants to take worldwide. He's also devoting more time to his foundation, which is dedicated to teaching kids to swim and funding programs that will grow the sport even more.He's already done so much."His contribution to the way the world thinks about swimming is so powerful," Bowman said. "I don't think any other athlete has transformed his sport the way he's transformed swimming."Phelps still receives regular texts from old friends and teammates, asking when he's going to give up on this retirement thing and come back the pool as a competitor.He scoffs at the notion, sounding more sure of himself now than he did in London.And if there's anything we've learned: Don't doubt Michael Phelps when he sets his mind on something."Sure, I could come back in another four years. But why?" he asked, not waiting for an answer. "I've done everything I wanted to do. There's no point in coming back."

Marathon runners are a dedicated bunch. They train for months in order to be able to run 26 miles with with thousands of other people. Marathoners are rewarded by the great sense of accomplishment that comes from setting their hearts and minds on a goal and achieving it. Thousands of marathons runners are due to arrive in New Orleans this weekend, for the February 13, 2011 New Orleans Rock n' Roll Marathon. Many of them will stay in New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts.
Yet there is one other perk: travel. Many marathon runners set their sights on races located all over the world. If you're a runner, to run along the Champs Elysees and through the Place de la Concorde in Paris with thousands of your running peers is thrilling. There are marathons in the Polar Circle, marathons along the Great Wall of China, and marathons in Petra, an ancient city carved into the sandstone mountains of Jordan.
The New Orleans Marathon may not be quite as awe-inspiring as a run on the Great Wall of China, but it is certainly a beautiful course and a fun race. Runners will race through the Lower and Upper Garden Districts, past antique shops and lovely old mansions; they'll run around Audubon Park and down the historic St. Charles Avenue; they'll run beside Lake Pontchartrain before heading back to the finish line at City Park.
After the race, they'll party. In the true spirit of the city, musicians stand on street corners and serenade the runners as they past. Bowling for Soup will play at City Park, along with as yet to be announced Opening and Closing Acts. Dancing in the park, great food and drinks make the post-marathon party in New Orleans unforgettable.
New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts welcome marathon runners to their hometown. Bed and Breakfasts New Orleans are a wonderful lodging choice for runners and spectators alike. You'll want hearty breakfasts while in town, sinfully comfortable beds, and, ideally, a Jacuzzi. You'll also want to be able to stretch out in common areas and parlors after the race, when you're too tired to sightsee but too restless to stay in your room.
Online advance registration for the 2011 New Orleans marathon is closed, but registration is still possible in New Orleans prior to race day, Sunday February 13. For more details, please see New Orleans Marathon.

Val's Crafty Corner: Racing Flags!
August 24, 2012 at 6:00 am Valerie at Inner Child Fun Leave a comment
This idea for creative play and crafty fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy crafting with your kids!
These racing flags were easy to make, and afterwards they inspired the kids to go outside for some active play to burn off some of their extra energy too! Yay for creative play that gets the kids moving!!
To make your own racing flags, you will need some graph paper, a black crayon, straws, and tape. Begin by coloring the graph paper as shown. My 8 year old enjoyed making these flags for her little sister!
Next, cut out your flag, and attach it to a straw with a some tape.
You may want to make another flag, so you have an official pair of racing flags to finish your race!
Then, go outside, and take turns waving your racing flags at the finish line of your race!! Suddenly your race becomes at least 20% more fun. True story!
"On your mark….. Get set!…….. Gooooooooo!!!!!!"
Party streamers make for a great finish line. So exciting!
We had many photo-finish races, and the kids were throughly tired when we were done. They wanted to race again and again!
Melissa & Doug say…
If you're dealing with yucky weather, here are a few ideas for bringing the race indoors! You can still use your fantastic flags to celebrate the winners!
1) Use little cars to race across any flat surface, without creating too much of a mess!
2) For a more intense race, hop on your rolling suitcase (like the Trunki) and see who gets across the room fastest!
Valerie Deneen is the author of Inner Child Fun, where she inspires parents to spend more quality time with their kids, and less money doing it. Inner Child Fun celebrates simple pleasures for all ages—with more than 1,000 frugal and creative projects sure to bring out the "kid" in you too! Follow Valerie on Twitter or say "Hi" on Facebook.

Withdraw Information
Return of Title IV Funds
These rules govern the return of Title IV funds disbursed for a student who completely withdraws from a term, payment period or period of enrollment. These federal guidelines assume that a student earns his or her aid based on the period of time he or she remains enrolled. Unearned Title IV funds, other than federal work study, must be returned to the federal government. During the first 60 percent of the enrollment period, a student "earns" Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60 percent point earns all his or her aid for the period. If earned aid exceeds disbursed aid, additional funds may be disbursed to the student in the form of a late disbursement. Additional disbursements are not permitted if the amount of earned aid is less than the total Title IV aid that was disbursed prior to the institution's determination that the student withdrew.
Repayment of Unearned Aid
The responsibility to repay unearned aid is shared by the institution and the student in proportion to the aid each is assumed to possess. The institution's share is the lesser of the total amount of unearned aid or the institutional charges multiplied by the percentage of aid that was earned. The student's share is the difference between the total unearned amount and the institution's share.
The institution's share is allocated among the Title IV programs, in an order specified by statute, before the student's share. After the student's share is fully allocated among the Title IV programs, students only owe grant overpayments if the overpayment exceeds 50% of the Title IV grant aid is received. Students are not required to return grant overpayments of $50 or less.
Refunds and repayments will be distributed to the appropriate Title IV, HEA programs in the following order:
1. Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
2. Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan
3. Federal Pell Grant
4. Federal SEOG Grant
5. Other Title IV assistance
6. Other state, private or institutional aid
7. Student
Post-withdrawal Disbursements of Aid
A student who earned more aid than was disbursed prior to withdrawal could be due a post-withdrawal disbursement. Disbursements must be made from available grant funds before loans. SPC may credit grant disbursements toward unpaid institutional charges for the current year charges only. SPC will contact a withdrawn student prior to making a post-withdrawal disbursement of loan funds. SPC will explain the student's obligation to repay the funds and confirm that the loan funds are still required by the student. Students will be encouraged to cancel the loan. SPC will document the student's decision in their file. Any portion of a post-withdrawal disbursement not credited to the student's account will be offered (in writing or electronically) as a cash disbursement to the student within 30 days of the withdrawal date. The student has 14 calendar days to respond to the Financial Aid Office. SPC will return the post-withdrawal disbursement to the Department of Education if no response is received from the student or parent (in the case of a Parent Plus Loan), or funds are declined by the student or parent, or response is not received within the 14-day time frame. An eligible student, who withdraws from SPC prior to completing their file, should check with the Office of Financial Aid to determine if they would qualify for a Post-withdrawal Disbursement once the file is complete.
Determination of Withdrawal Date
The withdrawal date is the date the student began the institution's withdrawal process or officially notified the institution of intent to withdraw (oral or written); or the mid-point of the period for a student who leaves without notifying the institution. The withdrawal date can also be the last day of the student's class attendance or participation from the instructor, if provided. If not provided, the mid-point of the period will be used as the withdrawal date. If a student left without notification because of circumstances beyond the student's control, the institution may determine a withdrawal date related to these circumstances. Written notification to the Admissions and Records Office is required in order for the withdrawal request to be honored.
For students who have all grades of F or combination of grades of F, X and W, South Plains College, as per federal regulations, will assume that the student has unofficially withdrawn; and a Return of Title IV funds will be calculated. The withdrawal date for grades of F and X will be the student's last day of class participation, by the instructor, or the mid-point of the semester if the 1st day of attendance/participation is not provided. Grades of W, which are initiated by the student, will carry the appropriate date on the computer and the Financial Aid Office will use that date. In the case of a student who has a combination of F, X and W grades in the same semester; the Financial Aid Office will use the latter date.
Students will receive a statement from the Business Office detailing the amount that the student owes the Business Office due to SPC returning unearned aid to the federal program(s). A Hold will be placed on the student records at SPC at this time. Students should make payment arrangements with the Business Office to avoid being turned over to a collection agency. If the student also owes the Financial Aid office a portion of unearned aid, the student will receive a letter from the Financial Aid office with the amount due.
Payment Arrangements and Payments
Students may not register for SPC classes or receive an official transcript until the Business Office debt has been paid in full. Students who wish to make payment arrangements with the Business Office, should contact the Business Office for further details to avoid being turned over to a collection agency.
Payments should be made in the form of a money order and be sent to the following location(s):
South Plains College
Business Office
1401 College Ave, Box A

No. 2 UK Rifle Opens Season Saturday with Ole Miss
Oct. 18, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky rifle team opens the 2013-14 campaign Saturday with No. 14 Mississippi coming to town. The second-ranked Wildcats will hit the range Saturday morning at the Buell Armory, with smallbore starting at 9 a.m. and air rifle following.
"It's always exciting to get the season started," UK head coach Harry Mullins said. "We've been training hard leading up to this and I'm excited to see our team's hard work come to fruition. I think our shooters are prepared and ready for the test. There will be a couple new faces in the lineup and I'm looking forward to seeing them step up and rise to the challenge."
Kentucky's counters in smallbore include senior Emily Holsopple, sophomore Connor Davis, senior Aaron Holsopple and freshmen Heather Kirby and Sonya May. Kentucky's air rifle counters are Emily Holsopple, Davis, May and juniors Cody Manning and Elijah Ellis.
The Wildcats enter the new season after finishing runner-up at the NCAA Championships in 2012-13, shooting an aggregate 4670 to finish nine points behind National Champion, West Virginia.
Kentucky returns three All-Americans, including Emily Holsopple (First Team Smallbore, Second Team Air Rifle), Connor Davis (First Team Air Rifle, Second Team Smallbore) and Elijah Ellis (Honorable Mention Air Rifle).
Ole Miss is 1-2 on the year, coming off a 1-1 weekend in Alaska. The Rebels opened their trip to Alaska with a 4614-4570 win over North Carolina State, before falling 4694-4610 on Sunday to No. 3 Alaska-Fairbanks. Melissa Quartarone led Ole Miss vs. Alaska-Fairbanks, shooting a 586 in smallbore and air rifle.
"Ole Miss is a good squad, I expect them to break out of their shell and have a good match," Mullins said. "They've had spurts where some of their key components have really popped up and this weekend is a good opportunity for them to produce a good number together. This match put me on edge when we scheduled it as our first match because I think they are a very good squad."
Free breakfast and coffee will be available for fans in attendance at the Kentucky's first match of the year. The breakfast spread will be available in the Buell Armory with screens set up for live scoring.
Live scoring will be available on UKRifle.com.

"I loved how the card had a variety of colors, which all worked together in a beautiful way. In addition, the card is not just a plain when, what, where, who, why card. It has personality and that's why I chose it!"
"I ordered these invites for our daughters first birthday and was thrilled with how they came out. This is the second time I have used Tiny Prints and the results are outstanding. The quality of the paper and the clarity of the image are brilliant and everybody loved both the birth announcement and invite. Thank you Tiny Prints, I happily recommend you to my family and friends and will continue to do so. Regards Casey Butterworth"
"These birthday invitations are perfect! Bright colours, nice large photo space on front and complementary photo space on back, artsy font, and strong cardstock paper. Our friends have been raving about the invitations!"
"Some of the type on the cards I ordered was too small. When I called Tiny Prints, they redid the order and had it shipped to me in 3 days!

Simply put, BMW's F10 M5 was designed with the 7DCT in mind. The automated gearbox is capable of ripping up and down through the gears endlessly before taking the Autobahn home at a sustained 190 mph. In sharp contrast, and whether North American enthusiasts want to admit it or not, the M5's 6MT is a Frankensteinian adaptation to the platform incapable of handling the same stress as its dual-clutch sibling that's a fact.
Our street drive revealed more about the 6MT than we were able to ascertain on the racing circuit (it is impossible to notice subtle qualities while driving at nine-tenths, with a helmet over our head, playfully chasing other M5s). We noticed that the M5 manual gearbox rev-matches on downshift when in certain modes (just like a Nissan 370Z). It works well, and the feature likely adds life to the clutch plate itself. We also noticed how much heavier and more massive the high-performance sedan felt when we were tasked with shifting. Lastly, our tooling around the Monterey Peninsula exposed the gearing as being a bit too tall for America's low speed limits.
It isn't easy to build a manual gearbox for a daily driver sport sedan strong enough to handle 500 pound-feet of torque (that kind of insane twisting force used to be reserved for race cars) and make it last 50,000-plus miles. We expected a heavy clutch, but the hydraulically assisted pedal felt unsubstantial and springy. Sadly, those qualities made engagement feel unnatural. The gear selector is well placed, but its movement was typical BMW a bit notchy and not entirely precise. On one positive note, the light clutch made departing from a standstill easy and shifting while on-the-fly was effortless. Yet overall, something was missing. It was our smile the 6MT wasn't very entertaining.
We were honestly a bit deflated by our BMW experience. The M5 is an impressive four-door supercar with the 7DCT, but the 6MT erases much of its fire. The manual gearbox delivers slower acceleration, reduced fuel economy (despite what the EPA prints) and, while we might be willing to give in on the numbers a little for an enhanced connection between car and driver, our time with the manual suggests its characteristics will frustrate more drivers than it will satisfy. While our enthusiast-rich blood craves involvement, in this particular situation, it became painfully clear that the computer-controlled 7DCT is the M5's better transmission.

Benik Afobe is representing England Under-19s at this summer's European Championship in Estonia and you can follow the young striker's progress on Arsenal.com.
Benik Afobe
England 1-1 Croatia
Tuesday, July 3
Benik Afobe played the full 90 minutes of England Under-19s' Group B opener against Croatia in Tallinn on Tuesday night. The Arsenal striker was heavily involved but could not score the goal his all-round display merited. Croatia took the lead against the run of play through Domagoj Pavicic in the 57th minute but England hit back quickly through Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah. The young Lions face Serbia in their second match of the group on Friday.

Josh Leland knows a few things about heroin addiction.
He knows that a lighter, a hollowed out pen and a square of tinfoil can be the difference between euphoria and depression. He knows the best way to consistently have cash on hand is by working restaurant jobs tip money is essential when that early-morning dope sick creeps through your system. He knows pawn shops don't ask questions, dealers don't mind dropping by on Christmas and setting your alarm clock to sound every 15 minutes is a decent way to ensure you won't die in your sleep like three of his friends did.
When you smoke heroin every two hours for the better part of seven years, you learn some tricks.
Leland, who's been clean for 17 months, also knows he reacts much differently to certain news these days, like when authorities announced the largest heroin bust in Utah history on July 18, taking 90 pounds total from Arizona and Utah and 30 pounds off the local market.
"When I first heard about it I felt this sense of relief, like 'Oh thank God they got all this off the street,'" Leland said. "And then I started thinking about what I would have felt back in the day, and I would have went into instant panic mode if I would have heard that. Getting news like that would have been the equivalent of getting news that, like, a family member died."
Leland and local authorities agree that the heroin trade is prolific in Utah. Most of it comes up through the southwest border, sent by Mexican cartels. The cartels are business-minded, and they understand the basic concept of supply and demand. And in Utah, the demand for heroin is pronounced.
"[The July bust] is a drop in the bucket," said Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder. "I mean, the volume of importation I think is clearly highlighted by this bust. The heroin that we took out both here and in Arizona represents really what I would consider to be a single delivery of anywhere from possibly dozens or more a month."
Deadly consequences • Like many users, Leland, 33, turned to heroin because maintaining his love affair with prescription pain meds required too much effort. Doctors set appointments, run tests, ask questions. Heroin dealers only ask two questions: Where and how much?
At the height of his addiction, Leland was smoking a gram of heroin per day. Local narcotics officers say that is probably a little more than the average addict, but they have encountered users who were consuming as much as two or three grams a day.
Often times, those users end up in rehab. According to the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, 17,264 people were admitted to publicly funded drug treatment centers in 2012. Of those, 21.2 percent said heroin or other opiates were their primary substance. Only alcohol was a more common source of admissions. Among young adults, heroin is particularly rampant, with nearly a third of patients ages 18 to 35 saying it was their drug of choice.
Many times, those who don't go to rehab go to the mortuary. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 508 people in Utah died from drug-induced deaths in 2009. That's slightly fewer than the combined number of people who died from firearms and car accidents that same year. On the national scale, Utah's drug-induced death rate of 18.2 deaths per 100,000 people in 2009 greatly exceeded the country's average of 12.8.
The deadly nature of drug addiction is the main reason authorities rejoiced when they landed July's 90-pound bust after a six-month, multi-agency effort. Although Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill agreed with Winder that the amount seized was "probably a blip in the flow of heroin" that comes through the state, he said it's important to maintain perspective.
"When you take something that may be as small as a fraction of my thumbnail and put that in the context of one pound and then in the context of multiple pounds or 30 pounds or 90 pounds, you can see that we're talking about an incredible amount of dosages that are going to be consumed out at the street level," Gill said.
To fully grasp the magnitude of July's bust, he said, one must understand that heroin is most commonly sold in balloons that typically hold about a tenth of a gram. That means that one pound of heroin could supply 50 addicts with 10 balloons or one gram, the amount Leland was consuming per day for just more than nine days. Thirty pounds would supply 1,000 addicts with that same amount for just more than 13 days. And the total bust would supply 2,000 addicts with one gram per day for just more than 20 days.
"So when you start to break it down by those little micrograms of distribution and consumption, the reach of it, even several pounds of it, becomes tremendous," Gill said. "And then all the pain and suffering and heartache and the criminality that's attached to that, that only magnifies proportionally."
Intervention • Leland, who said that he tried to quit smoking heroin about 20 times before finally succeeding, knows that pain and suffering and heartache as well as anyone.
"It turned me into a monster," Leland said. "I was just this tornado of negativity, just swirling around and everyone was getting caught up in my stuff. It wasn't just me that I was destroying, it was everyone around me."
Leland's addiction eventually became so bad that he couldn't hold a job. With past-due bills piling up and a habit to support, he resorted to stealing from whoever he could. He would steal bikes from garages, laptops from girlfriends, cash from his family. He said he took hundreds, possibly even thousands, of dollars from his father. But it was never enough. At his most desperate time, he crafted a plan to rob a bank.
Leland said he thought about it for a month. He staked out the bank for several hours at a time, trying to decide when business was at its slowest. He found a Dumpster around the corner where he could stash a change of clothes and mentally mapped out the quickest route to the train station on foot. He even picked out a date when he would slide a note to the teller, silently announcing that he had a gun and wanted all the money in the register. But on the morning of the heist, his older brother who didn't know about his plan kidnapped Leland and brought him back to his house, forcing him to stay there for a week and detox.
Leland was furious at his brother, but looking back at it about a year and a half later, he's grateful for the event that he called "some real higher-power s-."
"Man, I was gonna rob a bank," Leland said. "I'd probably be in prison right now. That's where my life was headed either death or prison, and I was heading both of those places extremely fast."
Fortunately for Leland, his life has improved dramatically. He's completely sober, he's going to college in the fall, and he's working at the same sushi restaurant that once fired him when he was strung out. He often becomes angry at himself for his past mistakes, but he recently got a tattoo on the inside of his right wrist that reminds him to not be so hard on himself, to appreciate that he's one of the lucky ones who has survived heroin addiction. "Mercy Me," it reads.

Email Address: email@example.com
My background has allowed me to experience a range of social work roles: school social worker, case manager with individuals with severe mental illness, residential home counselor, field instructor, youth organizer, and private practice. My love of the profession of social work has brought me to Aurora University. I hope to have a hand in instilling passion and conviction in my future colleagues. In the process, I want to help each student reach his or her potential in this field. As a professor, I strive to provide an interactive classroom environment that is rich in opportunities to build relationships with one another, supportive of critical thinking and self-reflection, and informative about best practice with our valued clients.
While teaching is incredibly fulfilling, I am also committed to continuing to provide direct service. Therefore, I currently have a private practice that allows me to work with clients of all ages and I continue to lead several youth-organizing programs.

Wayne Law professor leads project to create ethics guidelines to help allocate scarce medical resources in a crisis
July 02, 2012
LANSING — Suppose a deadly pandemic influenza is breaking out, and healthcare providers have only enough vaccine for a portion of the population. Who gets the vaccine?
Michigan has a new set of proposed ethical guidelines to assist the healthcare system and public health officials if they have to allocate scarce medical resources during a public health emergency, thanks to three years of work by a multi-disciplinary ethics committee led by Wayne State University Law School Assistant Professor Lance Gable, a public health law attorney, with support from the Michigan Department of Community Health.
The MDCH has launched a new website, www.mimedicalethics.org, intended for public feedback on the proposed ethical guidelines.
"The purpose of the guidelines is to minimize the harm caused by public health emergencies, while also allowing fair processes to protect all individuals," Gable said. "We hope to provide guidelines to healthcare providers and other decision-makers in making ethical decisions about access to scarce medical resources in the most effective way possible."
Olga Dazzo, director of the MDCH, encourages people to visit the website, review the guidelines and offer feedback.
"One of the goals of this project is to promote trust, transparency and understanding among Michigan residents," she said. "During a large-scale emergency, medical supplies and resources may become scarce. Having a system in place for access to vital resources will assure that allocation occurs in a fair and ethical way that will be consistent across the healthcare system."
The website contains links to the ethical guidelines as well as to other resource documents for hospitals, emergency medical service providers and legal counsel on issues of scarce resource allocation during public health emergencies. Members of the general public as well as healthcare employees are encouraged to learn more and provide comments on the website. The guidelines will be revised and finalized once public feedback has been considered and incorporated.
Gable, who has been a faculty member at Wayne Law since 2006, teaches public health law, bioethics and the law and other health law subjects, and also is a scholar with the Centers for Law and the Public's Health: A Collaborative at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities, which is affiliated with the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He has helped develop course materials for the World Health Organization Diploma in International Human Rights and Mental Health, and has worked as a human rights consultant for the Pan American Health Organization.

Tenkara Line Holder
These spools are great for quickly winding the line at the end of the day, or for moving from one spot to another. While our tenkara lines come with a small plastic spool, these spools are wider, and thicker, which make it much easier and quicker to wind the line around it. The notches are excellent for holding flies. The foam core helps ensure your line dries off quickly and also make it easier to secure the ends of the line. The foam core may also be used to hold a few flies in hand. While we will not call it a "must have", this is an excellent tool to expedite winding the line, and it can be easily fit over the handle of your rod for transport.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Harvard Forest News Conference to release Changes to the Land: Four Scenarios for the Future of the Massachusetts Landscape
Important new findings reveal promise and peril of land-use decisions A ground-breaking study by Harvard University's Harvard Forest and the Smithsonian Institution reveals that, if left unchecked, recent land development trends will undermine significant land conservation gains in Massachusetts, jeopardize water quality, and limit the natural landscape's ability to protect against climate change. The results of the study are summarized in the new report, Changes to the Land: Four Scenarios for the Future of the Massachusetts Landscape. The study used sophisticated computer models to conduct a detailed acre-by-acre analysis of four different land-use scenarios for the entire forested landscape of Massachusetts. This is the first time a study of this magnitude has been conducted for an entire state. WHO: David Foster, Director, Harvard Forest Jonathan Thompson, Senior Ecologist, Harvard Forest Kathy Fallon Lambert, Science & Policy Project Director, Harvard Forest Maeve Vallely Bartlett, Massachusetts Undersecretary for Environment NOTE: an additional conference call with the study authors for reporters unable to attend the news conference will be held at 12:00 NOON (eastern time) following the press conference. Call-in number: 1-866-890-3820 Passcode: 85875498# To RSVP for the press conference and to receive the embargoed press release and executive summary of the report with a summary of policy implications, contact: Clarisse Hart at 978-756-6157; email@example.com Photos and B-roll will be available as of Dec. 9 at the Changes to the Land press website.


text: Jerry Stackhouse wasn't much of a shooter, but he was an all-star as a penetrating SG who got fouled a lot. And Stuckey is a superior ball handler compared to Stackhouse. It's just not true that only guys who can shoot the ball at a high percentage can play SG (or any position for that matter). The real question is how Knight and Stuckey and Monroe and Jerebko and Daye (the core guys going forward beyond this year - potentially) play together. On that roster, even assuming Stuckey never becomes a great outside shooter - he sure as hell is a high performing mid-range shooter, penetrator and And-1 player, and he sure as hell is an outstanding ball handler, and tough defender. Daye is a super shooter, and Jerebko looks to me like a guy who will knock down open 3 pt looks - and both of these guys will do a lot of damage rolling to the rim. Both have great handle. Brandon Knight is about as fast and quick as anybody in the league (the NBA Draft Measurements confirm what my eyes tell me there), a super penetrator, a great outside shooter, and he sure seems like a real PG to me. Monroe will likely be a great high post big man - hitting cutters and open long range shooters, as well as having a really nice scoring touch himself. As for offensive rebounding, Monroe and JJ are great at that, and I think Daye at SG will kill defenders on his at that position, as will Stuckey. Call me crazy, but I like the possibilities. Just I'm not sure if we'd be better off with a Ray Allen type at SG instead of a Stackhouse type there. If it isn't a big fit, Stuckey could certainly be traded. And I love the defensive potential of Knight, Stuckey, Jerebko and Monroe, and even the length of Daye makes him hard to shoot over. Add in the mystery big man we'll draft in 2012, and we could be onto something here.

Hehe Oh yea!! Bacon Motivation is the ultimate!!
Re: Motivation
Just proves that everything is better with bacon, even exercise!
Re: Cruller's Gym
Great colors and concept. The facial expressions are what really make this shirt. Well done, indeed.
Thats how my daily workout look like haha
Paradox55 wrote:Your design does not SHOW motivation. I've only read that inspiration motivates you- but where is the actual motivation in this design?
What is shown in the design is my inspiration at the center, and then a series of synapses branching out from there that are firing. Ultimately, this is exactly what motivation is at the most fundamental level: a series of reactions in the brain between individual neurons that form a network. This is what's represented in the design. I took a different approach to the theme than running to lose weight, but that doesn't mean it isn't equally legitimate.
Re: The Birthplace of Inspiration
I'm not going to quibble over the 'fitness' of this sub; I'll leave it to the rejectionator to make the call. I just wanted to comment on just how much I love the thought behind this SO much more than your toony, chibi designs. Of course, today's front page pretty much points out how much my opinion counts. Good one, ramyb, nice to see a different theme from you once in a while.
Awesome as usual. I love the colors.
Re: Slim Hopes
So good! +1
...yeah, I'd do that.
Re: Zombie Apocalypse: The best time to lose weight
Rule # 1: Cardio.
Putting aside the whole on-theme versus off-theme argument for a second, I will say this much: Those are some tasty, tasty colors.
Re: Everybody Wants To Be Bacon
This looks great - bigger, please?
This shirt, it's my life. ;_;
The theme was pretty darn vague and open:
Give us your take on motivation: what it takes to work it up, what you're motivated to accomplish in the new year, or what to do when faced with a complete lack of motivation entirely.
It doesn't narrow the theme to SHOWing motivation. Plus if you think this one is off theme, you've gotta lotta typing to do to hit up the other shirts that are pretty loosy goosy with the theme.
Great design! GMV and multiple buys if it places
Bacon...bacon, bacon, bacon... I SMELL.... BACON!!!!

When he does catch up with the bacon, the exercise will be for naught. ;D
Re: RUN!
Super exciting action -- and brilliant highlights! Great job!
...because a bacon's the only bacon who knows where it's bacon.
Yeah, I could get behind this. :D
I need to do this. Like, right now.
Behold, the power of bacon!
this is effin' cool!
Re: Gimme!
XD this made me laugh
While you may argue that this is an "original" over-sized movie style dinosaur and not based on Godzilla, I'm pretty sure this is in violation of the no pop culture rule.
The rules are for everyone.
But but but...my doctor said I can't have bacon...oh well. Gonna work out with bacon! lol
Re: Lazy Kid
Even without the carrot the blues look amazing. Plus it's hilarious.
I would probably actually exercise (other than my Wii) if I had that contraption... hmmmm good idea... ~Gordon

Tomorrow marks 10 years since British forces intervened in Afghanistan. The status of women in the country was one of the justifications for the intervention, which promoted democratic governance, peace and the rule of law as well as rights for women. But with a process underway to leave Afghanistan once more in the hands of the Taliban when troops retreat in 2014, where will this leave women's rights?
Charity ActionAid asked Afghan women from every walk of life how life has changed for them since the fall of the Taliban and their fears for the future.

The Canisius College men's soccer team suffered its first loss of the 2013 season, falling to host St. Francis (Pa.) on Sunday afternoon, 4-1. The Griffs are now 1-1-0 on the season, while the Red Flash remains perfect with a 2-0-0 record.
"I thought we played well in the first half but a 10-minute stretch to start the second half put the game out of reach," said Canisius head coach Dermot McGrane. "Our defending has to improve if we hope to have any success this season."
The Red Flash scored the only goal of the opening 45 minutes of action when Stefan Sjekloca headed in a shot for the 1-0 lead at the intermission. St. Francis then extended its lead early in the second half with two goals just 90 seconds apart. The Red Flash was able to take advantage of Canisius mistakes on the defensive end for both tallies and the 3-0 lead.
Sophomore Chris Berardi got one goal back for the Griffs with his first collegiate goal in the 56th minute of play. Junior Derek Maier crossed the ball to his teammate and Berardi buried his attempt into the top right corner of the net for the 3-1 score.
St. Francis, however, would seal the victory in the 63rd minute when Nick Kolarac netted his second of the day and third of the season for the 4-1 final score.
Both teams fired 11 shots in the game with Canisius holding a 6-2 advantage in corner kicks. Andrew Garcia recorded five saves in net to earn the victory for the Red Flash.
Canisius now returns to Buffalo and prepares for its home opener next Sunday against UMass Lowell. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Demske Sports Complex.
