About Dr Joan
Elizabeth Joan Barice received her MD from Stanford University and completed residencies in internal medicine at St. Louis University Hospitals and preventive medicine at the Palm Beach County Health Department. She has an MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health and has board certifications in internal medicine, preventive medicine, and is ASAM certified in addiction medicine. In May 2006 she received an honorary doctorate in Humanities from Northwood University for applying her unique diversity of skills to enhance the public's health including that of the most needy of our citizens.
She spent a year in Beijing, China becoming proficient in acupuncture and oriental medicine. She is Clinical Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Public Health at NOVA Southeastern University College of Medicine and Affiliate Clinical Associate Professor of Biomedical Science at Florida Atlantic University. She served as a member of the Health and Public Policy Committee of the Florida Chapter of the American College of Physicians as an advocate for the delivery of health care to the indigent. As Medical Director of the Ambulatory Care Clinic and later as Assistant Director of the Palm Beach County Health Department she led many changes that favorably affected the medically indigent population. Specifically, she upgraded the care, improved access, focused on the dignity of each patient, added mental health services, and facilitated comprehensive medical services including specialty consultations with community physicians. Throughout her career she has provided free medical care to indigent patients, especially low-income elderly.
She served on the Executive Committee of the Palm Beach County Medical Society, the Governor's Task Force on AIDS, and the Florida Medical Association (FMA) Committee on AIDS. The FMA honored her with their highest honor, the Certificate of Merit for her outstanding service to the public and the medical profession. She played a seminal role in the education of physicians, pharmacists, mental health counselors and the general public both in Palm Beach County as well as in the entire State of Florida.
She has been a national leader in Addiction Medicine and has served on the Area Drug Abuse Council for Palm Beach County, Drug Licensing Review Committee for the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services, the Drug Abuse Treatment Association of Palm Beach County, the Florida Medical Association's Committees on Drug Abuse and Public Health, which she chaired. She served on the Board of Directors of the Comprehensive Alcohol Rehabilitation Program (CARP) and later as its President. She convinced CARP to combine treatment of alcoholics with that of other drug addicts, and to open treatment to HIV-infected addicts, both of which became a model for the nation. She started the Palm Beach County Medical Society's Impaired Physicians Program and played a key role in the Physician Recovery Network for the State of Florida. This program was shared with other professional organizations, and led to the development of similar programs for nurses, pharmacists, and attorneys. She served on the Cocaine Babies Task Force in Palm Beach County and has represented the FMA as an advocate of addicted pregnant women, mothers, and babies. She was awarded the Peter Fairclough Memorial Award from CARP for outstanding contributions to the State of Florida in the drug/alcohol rehabilitation field, and in 2007 the Changing Lives Award from the Drug Abuse Treatment Association.
Dr. Barice pioneered the founding of the Florida Chapter of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, (ASAM) one of the first and largest of many state chapters, and served as its first president. She was awarded the ASAM Award for Outstanding Service for helping establish state and national societies and for untiring dedication to the goals of the society. She was a key force in achieving the Florida Medical Association's recognition of Addiction Medicine as a specialty, which later helped achieve specialty designation by the American Medical Association, which led to education on addiction for physicians.
Dr Barice has been a critical influence in advancing the cause of persons afflicted by addiction, HIV and AIDS, as well as the elderly, women and children, and the poor. She has many other major accomplishments including in the fields of chronic pain management and complementary medicine. She has been on the forefront in advancing the acceptance of safe and effective alternative approaches to healing which can be integrated with Western medicine to improve quality of life and outcome for many patients. She serves in a number of volunteer ministries in her church, including service to low-income elderly, substance abuse ministry, and food for the poor. She was honored in December 2009 as one of Palm Beach County's Best & Brightest Women for her tireless and selfless efforts to go above and beyond to make an exceptional difference in the community.

Data Security During Data Recovery
- Data Recovery Service Providers: The Low Profile, High Impact Risk to Enterprise Security
Source: Lynda C. Martel, Director, Government & Enterprise Business RelationsDriveSavers Data Recovery, Inc. and Gary R. Gordon, Ed.D., Managing Partner – Bluewater International
If a data storage device has failed, resulting in lost or corrupted digital data, few corporations have the internal resources to recover that data, especially in the case of a mechanical failure. The device must be sent to a data recovery vendor. These devices often hold critical IP, financial databases, accounting files, email exchanges, customer records and PHI. Therefore, data recovery organizations must be classified as high-risk vendors. However, most of the data recovery industry does not meet best practice standards to ensure data security. If a corporation does not perform due diligence before engaging the services of a data recovery vendor, it runs the risk of a data breach that will result in major financial and reputational damage. The good news is that changes to internal policies and procedures, combined with contractual changes with third-party businesses handling the corporation's data, will mitigate the risk posed by this security gap. This white paper outlines 5 steps to mitigate the risk of using data recovery vendors. Download White Paper

The Financial Impact of Breached Protected Health Information: A Business Case for Enhanced PHI Security explores the reputational, financial, legal, operational and clinical repercussions of a protected health information (PHI) breach on an organization, and provides a 5-step method—PHI Value Estimator (PHIve)—to assess specific security risks and build a business case for enhanced PHI security. It also offers information about the stakeholders involved in the health care ecosystem, the evolution of laws, rules and regulations designed to protect PHI, the causes and increasing number of data breaches, the most common threats and vulnerabilities to the security of PHI, safeguards and controls that organizations can put in place to mitigate the risk of a breach, and current industry practices and attitudes for protecting PHI, based on a survey.

Registration for WeTeach_CS Deep Dives closes on Thursday, June 1st at 5pm.
Don't get left in the shallow end.
Register for Deep Dives today!
WeTeach_CS Deep Dives answers the question, "what do you do when a breakout session just isn't enough, but you don't have time for a full-on workshop?"
Picking up where the WeTeach_CS Summit leaves off, WeTeach_CS Deep Dives is a special CS professional development event designed to offer participants a deeper dive into a subject than is possible during a typical conference breakout session. But, because these are special short courses, this format allows us offer more courses to more teachers than we would normally be able to for a typical professional development workshop. The Deep Dive line up will include Bootstrap, Exploring Computer Science (ECS), Project GUTS, and a condensed version of our WeTeach_CS Certification Prep workshop. We chose these courses based on teacher feedback and need. Each course will run all day (8:00am – 4:00pm) on Thursday and a half-day (8:00am – noon) on Friday. Deep Dives courses are also great for administrators who want to learn the basics of a new curriculum or what's involved in getting more teachers CS certified.
And remember, whether you're attending the full week or just Thursday and Friday, you may be eligible for Accommodations and Transportation Reimbursement from the Center for STEM Education at UT Austin. (See the WeTeach_CS Deep Dives event page for details)
When you register, you will be asked to choose from one of the four strands listed below.
Sign up for Bootstrap if you're a mathematics/algebra teacher or a CS teacher looking to reach students beyond the CS classroom.
Teach Your Students to Program, Mathematically Bootstrap teaches students to program their own video games in an algebraic programming language, exposing them to key math concepts. Middle- and high-school teachers around the country have implemented the curriculum as a one-month module, a weekly activity or an after school program. In Bootstrap, Your Students will Practice and Apply Solving word problems Coordinate planes and Graphing Functions and Variables Function Composition Inequalities in the Plane The Pythagorean Theorem In this Workshop, You Will Participate in a real classroom demonstration of the curriculum Build your own video game, using the math you already know Learn how TEKS Math Standards can be met through a STEM-focused programming curriculum Explore cutting-edge research on algebra education. Click for more information about Bootstrap
Exploring Computer Science (ECS)
Sign up for ECS if you're wanting a curriculum to help reach underrepresented students outside the traditional CS classroom.
The Exploring Computer Science professional development program is based on three major pillars: computer science content/concepts, inquiry, and equity. These pillars are woven throughout all of the support provided to our teacher community. Computer science instruction is modeled through role playing, jig sawing activities, pair and small-group collaboration, structured tinkering, multiple solutions, utilizing manipulatives, and simulations. We firmly believe that ECS teachers and students are part of a community where all learners have a voice and can make valuable contributions to the learning of the whole group. Click for more information about Exploring Computer Science (ECS)
Project GUTS
Sign up for Project GUTS if you're a science teacher wanting to integrate CS thinking into your classroom or a CS teacher looking for a new way to reach students beyond the CS classroom.
Project GUTS — Growing Up Thinking Scientifically — is an integrated science and computer science program for middle school students serving schools and districts nationally. Growing up thinking scientifically means learning to look at the world and to ask questions, developing and using computer models to help answer questions through scientific inquiry, and using critical thinking to assess which ideas are reasonable and which are not. To grow up thinking scientifically means knowing science to be a computing-rich, dynamic, creative endeavor, a way of thinking, rather than a body of facts. Click for more information about Project GUTS
WeTeach_CS Certification Prep
Do you still need to get CS certified? We can help!
The WeTeach_CS Certification Prep course provides an overview of the educator competencies required of all teachers to become certified in Grades 8-12 Computer Science. This certification is necessary to teach courses such as Computer Science I, II or III, Fundamentals of Computer Science, or AP Computer Science A. Course instructors will address several competencies in depth and link attendees to additional resources that will help to prepare them to challenge the CS certification test.

November 11, 2008 - Today at the annual scientific sessions of the American Heart Association in New Orleans the first U.S. clinical trial data on Medtronic's Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve were presented.
These findings also represent the first U.S. data on transcatheter valves in a population with congenital heart disease and the first reported U.S. data on the use of a transcatheter valve in the pulmonary position. The Melody valve is currently investigational in the U.S.
Data were presented on 66 patients enrolled at centers in Boston, Seattle, New York, Columbus, and Miami. Encouraging from a safety perspective, the company said there was a high acute procedural success rate of 98 percent. At six-months follow up, maintenance of excellent valve competence was demonstrated as was a corresponding, clinically-significant, reduction of more than 18 percent in right ventricular volume. Valve competence was assessed by median pulmonary regurgitation fraction, which was down to zero percent from a baseline of 30 percent.
"These data are very encouraging," said the presenter of the data, Doff McElhinney, M.D., pediatric interventional cardiologist at Children's Hospital Boston. "Young patients with the types of congenital heart disease included in this study frequently require multiple open heart surgeries during the course of a lifetime. The Melody transcatheter valve is designed as a non-surgical alternative that will, at the very least, allow deferment of the next surgical intervention while protecting the heart from the strain of extra work. These multi-center data demonstrate that the Melody valve can be safely implanted with a high rate of procedural success. We have been encouraged by the excellent early function of the Melody valve and by the six-month clinical outcomes, which demonstrate clear improvements in heart size and valve function."
Of the U.S. congenital heart disease patients who require treatment each year for pulmonary valve dysfunction, approximately 1,500 are candidates for valve replacement with the Melody device.
The Melody valve was designed for patients with congenital heart defects who have a surgically-placed conduit between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. When the valves in these conduits fail, the Melody valve provides a non-surgical means to restore valve function and prolong the life of a conduit, reducing the number of open-heart surgeries these patients require, Medtronic said. Using the Ensemble system, a physician navigates the Melody valve to the heart by threading it through the body's blood vessels, eliminating the need to open the chest, minimizing trauma and offering a quicker recovery than open heart surgery.
Melody, the world's first commercially available transcatheter valve, is available in 60 centers outside the U.S. following Canadian and European approval. Medtronic B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic, Inc., received CE Mark on the Melody Valve and Ensemble System in 2006.

The Dream You Make by Christine Nolfi
Christine Nolfi made me an instant fan of her writing with her 2011 debut, Treasure Me, and I continue to look forward to her books with anticipation. Her fourth release, The Dream You Make, is the story of Annie McDaniel, a determined woman trying to stay positive in the face of troubling situations. Annie's family life has been no walk in the park: her mother gone too soon, her father recently deceased, and her sister Toria a victim of a tragic crime. In the midst of her loss, Annie has been made the beneficiary of two most unexpected treasures: Green Interiors, the greenhouse that was her father's life work - and Dillon, Toria's five year-old son. Annie falls head-over-heels for Dillon as she gets to know him for the first time, but she'll have to fight a draining custody battle against a well-off couple from Dillon's past before she can truly call him her own. In her efforts to keep Dillon, Annie takes on a second job at Rowe Marketing where she finds an entirely new complication in the attractive and stubborn Michael Rowe. If she pursues her attraction to her new boss it could hinder her chances of adopting Dillon, but Michael could also prove to be a sound and stable port in the storm of her life.
The Dream You Make is a honeyed combination of love, humor and real-world poignancy that fills the reader with the butterfly-inducing beauty of life. Those of us who've been reading Nolfi's books from the beginning feel an unspoken guarantee that we'll find a world of charm, humor and joy between the pages and this novel follows through on that promise solidly. Books don't often grab me from the literal beginning, the very first scene, but The Dream You Make felt familiar and comfortable as soon as I fell into its world. The story deals with adoption, a topic Nolfi exposed deep passion for and talent with in her second book, The Tree of Everlasting Knowledge, and she handles it here with the same very real finesse, but with less heaviness. It keeps the novel feeling light and makes it a great counterpart to Tree, showing the same expanse of Nolfi's talent for writing about the heart of family in an entirely different way.
Another of the novel's great accomplishments is the lively cast of characters; Nolfi is a definite master at crafting a host of memorable characters to color the reader's world, and she exercises that ability very well in The Dream You Make. Some, like the adorable Dillon, are studies in sensitivity and hope. An altogether shattered boy, seeing him come to life under Annie's guardianship – and in his interactions with best friend Chip and kindly neighbor Mariam – is perfectly heartwarming. Other characters, such as Rowe Marketing's flamboyant and temperamental artist Terence, are a canvas for hilarity and theatrics. Annie and Michael, the grown-up portion of the novel's primary focus, have an instant chemistry that captured my interest from the beginning. Their faults – one's inability to open up, another's hot impatience – set them on a long journey toward ironing out their budding romance, but their utterly human imperfections kept me rooting for them.
This novel felt more simplistic in story than Nolfi's previous works, which have included books that interweave dark tragedy, cozy mystery, and treasure hunts woven through American history. All the same, there was nothing lacking in this story. Nolfi's books have a way of evading definition; she writes so broadly across the genres that her books have created a niche all their own, and The Dream You Make fits in perfectly. It's a life-affirming story that bursts with hope and dares the reader to relentlessly pursue their own dreams.

Life Style, Obesity during Pregnancy Will Affect Your Baby's Health
Your child has diabetes? Why does it happen while you have matched the nutrition amount with the right diet? Some diabetes type 2 is affected by lifestyle which is found in unhealthy children. Do you know that the pregnancy time will also give a little part to the children? Pregnant mother who has obesity is defined in general as when she has body mass index (BMI) for more than 30. BMI is the measure of obesity which is calculated by using weight and height. About 15-20% pregnant mother has obesity. Obesity during pregnancy will raise complication for you and the baby. The fatter you are the bigger possibility to get pregnancy complication.
If you have obesity during pregnancy the problem that you should face are miscarriage, usually the baby dies in the uterus before the 20th week of the pregnancy, besides, for some cases the dead birth occurs when the pregnancy reaches more than 20 weeks. Diabetes also haunts you. There is also complication during pregnancy and the birth of big baby needs caesarean section.
Besides, obesity actually makes your baby health is in dangerous condition. Some babies which are born from mother who has obesity will face some abnormality such as birth defect, including neural tube defects (NTDS) which is one of birth defects which happens to brain and spine. The baby who is birth prematurely or having injury such as the baby is too big. Death is one of the things which affect your baby when the complication because of the obesity is in the serious category. The possible thing that will happen is there will be overweight during children time which can lead to children obesity. Even though obesity will affect you and your body, diet program during pregnancy will affect your health and also the baby's health. When you are pregnant the food supply is very needed for your embryo development.
The increasing of body weight can be categorized as normal if it happens in between 5 and 10 kg during your pregnancy.
You can do healthy movement to keep your and the embryo health by joining yoga class or pregnancy exercise. Besides, actually for you who have obesity before the pregnancy time, it will increase the risk of additional obesity during your pregnancy time. It is suggested for you to have diet program before pregnancy so it will decrease the risk of additional obesity which will disturb your pregnancy.
You can do healthy lifestyle by doing some ways such as consume healthy foodand doing sport. Actually there are so many kinds of healthy food but you should also realize that there are also many kinds of food which cannot be considered as healthy food and you should avoid it such as junk food. During your pregnancy, it is suggested to do sport which can give benefit to you and your baby. The sport does not have to be hard sport which takes long time but regular sport that you do regularly so you will get the benefit. You can also start to do pregnancy consultation in the first week of your pregnancy. It is very important in order to get additional information about your baby's health that you can get from the midwife or doctor. You can also know the development of the embryo, so it will minimize the worst possibility of the overweight problem or obesity.

Sorry for the delay, we've been scraping popcorn ceilings and then the water heater broke. Oh the joys of home ownership 🙂
First things first! I'd recommend checking this video out to see if you're up for this project. It's not rocket science but to get the right tools for the job it's about a $50 investment.
Still interested? Great, lets go…
Forget about wrapping string around bottle and lighting it on fire or dropping your scored bottle into a pan full of boiling water. I'm not saying those methods can't work, they are just extremely inconsistent. By that I mean that the bottle doesn't break cleanly and you end up with jagged edges or fractures in the length of the bottle.
This little project started out as Christmas Gifts for my co-workers (who wouldn't want self watering planters in our gray cubicles). Well, lets just say nobody actually got these by the holidays. Turns out cutting and filing glass is not nearly as easy as everybody touts on the web.
There are tons of videos and how tos out there about cutting glass. No joke, I've tried them all. After lots of frustration and broken bottles I combined the best techniques I could find and put together the most consistent method.
Bottle cutting supplies:
- Glass bottles (I have a friend who runs a local Italian restaurant so he hooks me up on a regular basis. I have about 100 wine bottle on the dining room floor right now 🙂 Thanks Justin!!!)
- Glass cutter/scorer (I recommend Generation Green Bottle Cutter, got mine on Amazon for $20) Here is a great video on how to properly use this brand of cutter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_w8MfpVG8
- candle
- ice cubes
- silicon carbide file (Bought mine at a local stained glass shop $11)
- silicon carbide powder (Bought 80 and 120 grit on Amazon. a 1lb bag is about $6)
- glass sheet (just a plain old glass window pane, but you'll want it to be at least 24″ x 24″
- spray bottle
- kitchen towel
- protective eyewear
- ear plugs (optional) – The sound made when sanding the bottles is similar to nails on a chalkboard
Self watering planter supplies:
- Cotton cording (1/8″ braided cotton, you'll find it by the rope at your hardware store)
- Screen (Bought a roll of replacement window screen at hardware store. $5 for a huge roll)
- scissors
- dirt
- plant
Step 1: Remove labels
I fill the sink full of bottles fill it with dish soap and hot water and let them soak for a few hours. Some labels will fall off, some you've gotta scrape off (I use a hard plastic pot/pan scraper) You might want to have some Goof Off around for the extra tacky labels.
Step 2: Score your bottle
Figure out where your cut needs to be so that when you flip the top of the bottle over the top of the neck isn't hitting the bottom of the bottle. I good rule of thumb is divide your bottle into thirds and cut 1/3 of the way down. Here is the video again on how to properly use your glass cutter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_w8MfpVG8
*A personal tip. Most how to videos tell you to go around the bottle one time. I recommend scoring the bottle at least 4 times. You have to be careful to make sure you are scoring the exact same line over and over again, but it helped me to have a deeper score.
Step 3: Fire and Ice
Put your protective eyewear on! Light your candle and get a bowl of ice cubes (grab a kitchen towel too). Hold the score line on the bottle about 1/4″ above the flame slowly rotating the bottle for one minute. Stand your bottle upright and rub ice around the score line for 30 seconds. Repeat. The bottle gets pretty wet so wipe it off before your repeat the process. Sometimes it breaks in one round, sometimes it takes 5 times. Every bottle is different. You will hear it cracking so don't be scared 🙂
Now, a word to the wise: I haven't actually had any bottles explode, but my motto is better safe than sorry with the eyewear. I have had bottles split in half while I was holding them over the flame, come crashing down onto the candle sending hot wax everwhere. In the panic my hand came crashing down on to the flame giving me a nice blister. So just be aware this can happen.
As the bottle starts to break along the score line you will notice that the way the light passes through the glass changes along that line. It's a good indicator of how close you are to breaking through. It will also show you if one spot just isn't breaking and needs some extra time over the flame.
Step 4: Sanding
The glass cutter comes with sand paper, which is ok. I went out and bought all kinds of other wet/dry sand paers and nothing really got the edges that smooth. I mean, I was going to give these to people as gifts. Nothing says I love you like "Here's a present you could slice off the tip of your finger with".
I went into a local stained glass supply store and picked their brains about the project. Turns out stained glass people are the coolest. They had tons of advice, wanted to see pictures, told me to stop back with a sample, talked me into making stained glass projects and fed me several shots of aged rum they got from some exotic island. When all was said and done I had a buzz and was sent on me on my way with a silicon carbide hand file which works great for rounding the edges of the cut.
The how to video at the beginning of this blog shows you how to use silicon carbide powder to sand which is AMAZING. Here's the link again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODJYutJERe0 So, I'm not going to go into great detail on how to use it. Buy the powder on Amazon, it's cheap and it gets the cut edges super smooth. I got 80 grit to start, which definitely takes down any sizable lumps and bumps, but ended up getting some 120 grit to get very smooth final edge.
*Notice how in the video he also comments on the awful sound the sanding makes, I recommend ear plugs, and I definitely recommend not trying to sand your bottles when your husband is in the living room trying to watch golf.
I usually start with the 80 grit silicon power which files down the larger jagged parts. Then head over to the kitchen sink and file down the inside and outside edge under running water (to keep the glass cool and to avoid breathing in the fine glass particles that come off). I finish the bottle off by sanding with the 120 grit powder.
Alright, you know how to cut and sand a glass bottle, I'm done typing for the day. I'll cover the self watering planter how to soon. Sorry, but it's Saturday and warm in Milwaukee. I've got to get my arse on a patio with an adult beverage ASAP.
Here's some other planters I made for work friends:
Sorry for the delay! On to the actual planters! Ok, so you've got a beautifully cut and sanded wine bottle, yay!
Just a quick reminder of your supplies
Self watering planter supplies:
- Cotton cording (1/8″ braided cotton, you'll find it by the rope at your hardware store)
- Screen (Bought a roll of replacement window screen at hardware store. $5 for a huge roll)
- scissors
- dirt
- plant
Step 1: Cut your Screen
Cut your screen into approximately a 4″ x4″ square, with your scissors cut two small slits in screen approximately 1″ apart (be careful cutting, the wire will completely unravel if you cut too long or close of slits and your cording will fall right through).
Step 1: Prep the Cording
Cut a piece of your cotton cording approximately 16″ long, fold in half, tie a knot approximately 2″ down from the folded edge (this knot will be what holds the cording above the screen). Take your knotted and cording and with the knot on top slide one tail through each slit. (Remember, be gentle).
Turn the top part of the bottle upside down (with the neck facing down). Now with the knot on top push your screen down into the top portion of the wine bottle with the tails hanging down into the neck. Place the to of your bottle into the bottom part of your bottle (the tails should be long enough to reach to the bottom of the wine bottle base so it can absorb and suck up water.
Step 1: Planting
Fill the top part of the wine bottle with dirt, making sure that the loop of coding stays standing in an upward position (keeping the cording as close to the actual roots of your plant will ensure that the roots of the plant can grow and attach to the cording quickly).
Pick your plants and plant it of course!
I've been using lots of succulents (chicks and hens and such). Keep in mind that succulents require special soil and will not last without it! Check out this link for good tips on succulent soil http://www.ehow.com/how_5598307_make-potting-soil-succulents.html
I usually just go to Stein's (any local garden center will do) and pick up whatever catches my eye. I apologize that I don't know the name of the actual succulents in the main header picture. Speaking of the pic, how cute do three of the same plant look in a row. That trio of plants went to wine bottle supplier as a thank you. He has informed me that he killed all of the plants and broke one of the planters already. Boys?!?
I've also used the planters to make herb gardens as gifts for friends and family too! Check out my blog about making an herb garden box out of pallets!

Michigan sweeps Michigan State to advance to quarters for second time
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Michigan blew past Michigan State in three sets (25-16, 26-24, 26-24) on Friday, clinching its second-ever appearance in the national quarterfinals.
Michigan, making its second regional final appearance in four years, was led on offense by junior Lexi Erwin's 17 kills. Jennifer Cross added 12 kills and five blocks. Sophomore Lexi Dannemiller dealt 30 assists, while freshman Tiffany Morales had 19 digs. Freshman Krystalyn Goode registered five blocks, while Erwin had four block assists.
Michigan started strong in the first set, taking a 3-1 lead on a Goode kill and compiling a 5-2 advantage on a block from Goode and Erwin. UM went up 7-3 on another block from Goode and Erwin. Michigan State cut the lead to 8-5, but a Cross kill off an MSU overpass put the Wolverines up 10-5. A Spartan rotation error put UM up 12-5 and Erwin's kill gave the Maize and Blue a 13-7 lead. A kill from the setter Dannemiller put Michigan on top 16-7, and a back-row kill by Erwin gave the Wolverines an 18-10 advantage. A Spartan service error followed by an MSU attack error gave UM a 22-13 lead. The Wolverines closed out the set on a Cross kill, giving the Maize and Blue the early lead. Michigan hit .300 in the first set, while Morales had 10 first-set digs.
The second set featured 17 ties and 12 lead changes. Michigan took an early 3-2 lead on a Dannemiller service ace and went up 6-5 on Erwin's kill. Michigan State went up 8-7 on a Wolverine error and built a 10-9 lead on a service ace. Michigan retook the lead at 11-10 on a Cross service ace. Back-to-back Spartan blocks put MSU up 14-11. The Wolverines rallied to tie the set at 15 off an MSU attack error, then UM took a 16-15 lead on a Goode kill off an overpass. Michigan State then went on a 4-0 run, but a block from Cross and Goode cut the UM deficit to 19-18 and the Wolverines tied it at 19 on a kill from Erwin. Back-to-back Cross kill tied the set again, this time at 21. Cross then had a big block, giving UM a 22-21 lead. The Wolverines went up 23-21 on a Spartan error, but Michigan State battled back, tying it at 23 on a block. An Erwin kill set up a UM set point, which the Spartans answered. Cross then had a kill for a second set point, and a Spartan attack error gave the Wolverines a 2-0 advantage.
Michigan took a 5-4 lead in the third set off an Erwin kill, then U-M went up 7-5 on a Spartan block error. MSU scored the next three points and took an 11-9 lead on a Wolverine attack error. Michigan chipped away, eventually tying the set at 13 on an Erwin kill and taking a 15-13 lead on a Cross kill. Erwin gave UM a 17-15 lead with a termination, and her back-row kill made it 18-16. A Spartan service error put the Wolverines up 20-18 and Erwin's kill gave the Maize and Blue a three-point cushion. An MSU service ace cut the Wolverine lead to 21-20, but Erwin came right back with a kill. A Michigan error tied the set at 22, but Michigan State followed suit, giving the Wolverines the one-point lead. Erwin's kill gave UM match point, but MSU fought it off. A Spartan kill tied the set at 24, but Erwin answered again with a kill to force another match point, and Cross' kill sent Michigan to its second-ever regional final appearance.
Michigan hit .261 for the match, compared to .160 for the Spartans. UM held a 9.5-7.0 advantage in blocks, while both teams had three service aces.

We don't know what it is, but the normally tight-lipped Samsung has been leakier than a festival portaloo today. Pictures, specifications and details on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 have escaped ahead of the company's planned Samsung Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin, Germany, tonight.
A "tipster" has sent Pocketnow.com a couple of pics of the new device that we are in no doubt are genuine. In addition, the site has been informed of several of the new handset's features.
The HD Super AMOLED screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is 5.5-inches, as widely expected, and is 16:9. That means it'll have a smaller resolution than the former model, at 1280 x 728 instead of 1280 x 800, but it'll fit widescreen video content perfectly.
A 1.6GHz quad-core processor is running the show, along with 2GB of RAM to speed things up further. There's an 8-megapixel camera on the rear, Sammy's traditional 1.9-megapixel one on the front, and it will run, get this, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean from the off.
Pocketnow reports that the battery will be 3,100mAh, yet the device will be slimmer than its forerunner, at 9.4mm.
Network support for 4G LTE will be built into some localised versions (no idea if the UK is included in that), while the rest will get a HSPA+ version. There will be 16GB, 32GB and 64GB handsets available, and in two colours, titanium grey and marble white.
The included stylus, the S Pen, will be longer, thicker and more ergonomic, while a new feature that's been mentioned - Air View - allows the user to hover over content to open it without having to tap on the screen.
No pricing or release details have been leaked as yet, but what do you want, blood?
More will be revealed during the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event starting at 18:00 BST.

"That Depends on What You Know, has really thrown a wrench into the increasingly calcified "jazz canon." "Two Bass Blipsch" from disc 1 (an obvious reference to John Lewis and Dizzy Gillespie's "Two Bass Hit") opens with Vijay Iyer playing the piano strings with such rhythmic precision that it sounds like it's been "looped"; once Tate brings the drums in percussion becomes the improvisational driving force. While everything is improvised, Tate uses conduction to create particular conversations and dialogues, as in the way he brings out Eisa Davis's voice interpolating triplet figures."

writer at heart, eager student of the world, lover of all things with a story. the rest, still working on.
For a post with no words, I totally got this. Anytime Mike and I go to a rocky beach, we build a cairn like this, and then take a picture. In Big Sur, there were tons of them already built - but my favorite had a gold ball balanced at the very top.

Planning Board gives nod to plan for new city bar
By Anessa Myers
Published in News on April 30, 2008 2:01 PM
Goldsboro residents are one step closer to having another bar and restaurant to frequent.
The Goldsboro Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit requested by Jeff Darwin at its meeting Monday night. Darwin wants to use property located on the northeast corner of Walnut Street and John Street as a tavern and deli.
The establishment is the third place of entertainment approved in the downtown district, following the Flying Shamrock and the most recent request approved by the city council -- Redmon's on Center Street.
The board also approved a site and landscape plan for a new Bojangles' restaurant to be built at the former Wayne Hotel location, which is bounded on three sides by Elizabeth, Marigold and West Grantham streets.
Commission members approved a conditional use permit requested by Myco Supply Co. for property located on the north side of West Ash Street between Alabama Avenue and the Southern Railroad and a rezoning request by the Potter's House for property located on the east side of Bryant Street between Atlantic Avenue and Holly Street from residential to office and institutional.
The former Holloway's Barbecue location might soon become a church, as members approved a site and landscape plan for the site also Monday.
All of the requests must eventually be approved by the City Council. Public hearings were held on the conditional use permits at the last council meeting.

Earlier this month the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service completed a $1.65 million restoration project of five beaches in Cape May County, New Jersey, that had been affected by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. This beach restoration project is just one of many going on in the Northeast and throughout the country to help repair and replenish beaches that were either damaged during that destructive storm or have suffered in other ways over the past few years.
Beach restoration, also known as beach nourishment, is an expensive and time-consuming process, but it has also become essential now that so many communities depend on beaches not just for recreation but also for protection from the ravages of ocean-bound storms. But it's not just storms; according to the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association, most of the popular beaches in the U.S. have undergone some form of nourishment over the years to reverse the effects of natural erosion.
Of course, beach erosion is a perfectly normal situation, says Nate Woiwode, policy advisor for The Nature Conservancy of Long Island. "Over time, these beaches are moving," he says. "The sand that's on a beach today is not going to be the sand that's on the beach next year." Waves and winds move the sands from a beach up and down over time, and Woiwode points out that no beach is a static system. "The challenge," he says, "is when you take the natural system and put in human-build infrastructure." The addition of homes, roads, seawalls and other structures places permanent objects into a dynamic system. It can also inspire the need for humans to take action and "fix" beaches that have become damaged by natural systems. "When you put the houses and roads behind a beach and that beach starts getting smaller, that can inspire the decision to start to nourish the beach and build it back out," he says.
Beach restoration can take a lot of forms, and it's a fairly complicated process with a lot of science behind it, says Tim Kana, president of Coastal Science & Engineering, who has been working on coastal erosion projects for more than 30 years. "We focus very much on the variations from place to place," he says. "Just because one beach does something doesn't mean Myrtle Beach is going to behave the same way." Each project considers a region's tidal strength, the sand supply available naturally in the system, structures such as sand dunes and barrier islands, and how a beach varies throughout the year.
Beach nourishment projects vary, then, based on the nature of beaches and the communities that surround them. Some projects require trucking in thousands pounds of sand to replace what has been lost, either at the waterline or to build or rebuild dunes. Other projects might build seawalls or breakwaters or other structures to further protect shorelines. The goal, the experts say, is less about appearance than it is to enhance habitat for species and, most importantly, improve beaches' natural ability to provide communities with a defense against storm systems.
Along the way, choices need to be made, but they may not really be choices. "We're either going to have to bring in more sand or settle for a smaller dune or move our houses back," says Kana. The latter isn't really an option. Fortunately, Kana says, most developed beaches already have the natural barriers that keep their fairly stable. "The annual rate of change is measured at three feet or less per year," he says. Developed shorelines need to decide if they can live with that three feet of change or if they want to "manage it proactively with nourishment." The first choice is usually trucking in sand – "you want to look at how much sand it will take just to hold the line," he says.
But is holding the line enough? Woiwode points out that dunes — which may naturally disappear and reappear over time — helped to limit the amount of flooding that impacted some areas during Hurricane Sandy. "But dunes are part of this ephemeral nature of the system," he says. "They don't provide permanent protection because they move." If a hurricane such as Sandy eliminates a dune, communities may decide they need to recreate it sooner rather than wait for it to maybe reappear to protect them from future events.
That's challenging, though, and Woiwode says it leaves out part of the equation. He points out that relying on piles of sand to function as natural dunes "doesn't provide much habitat value" for seabirds and other wildlife, which are also essential parts of the natural system. "You have to take a holistic view to make sure that everything is functioning naturally," he says.
Beaches may be natural systems and important ecosystems, but they have also become thriving human environments. "If you think of the economy of the Jersey shore, that is a tourism-driven economy," Woiwode says. "If there is no beach there, that economy is going to go away. It isn't just a question of is there a place for birds to land. It really starts getting into the fundamental nature of what these beach communities are, how their economies are structured, and what they're going to do in the face of rising seas and potentially limited sand as their beaches erode." Those questions will undoubtedly inform beach restoration projects for decades to come.

Earlier in the week, we asked Ben Bradshaw (Labour MP for Exeter) for his views on UKIP and he tweeted, "Europhobic socially conservative right wing party with incoherent economic policy currently boosted by protest voting". With that in mind Exeposé Comment decided to spend the day at the UKIP Spring Conference at The University of Exeter's own Great Hall to investigate that claim.
Throughout the day we were witness to a variety of party speakers, only one of which didn't know the difference between the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and former two-time World Heavyweight Champion turned grill advocate George Foreman.
Although there was no substantive mention of the word, "deficit" in any speech amid a wash of arguably half-baked environmental, transport and educational policy, it was made quite clear that, unsurprisingly, UKIP are quite vehemently anti-EU.
We took advantage of our increasing Facebook following to ask if it was in Britain's national interest to leave the European Union. Of those polled, 63% responded that, no, Britain's interests in fact lie in remaining in the EU. Of the members of the audience at the conference who we interviewed, Will Himms of Somerset and Joan Martin of Cinderford both strongly disagreed.
"I like all of the countries in it, but I don't think that it's the right thing to try and force them all to be together", said Will. Joan agreed and added, "I look at the state of the other countries in the EU and I don't want that for us." On the other hand Joel Mason, Vice President of Exeter University Liberal Democrat Society, weighed in saying, "I'm not going to argue that the EU's perfect; far from it, it's got many problems but I think it would be a very rash thing to overlook a lot of the benefits that we get from the EU. [Business and crime among other issues] exist across borders…we need to try to adopt a transnational approach which is what the European Union allows us to do."
It seems clear that there is a need for a degree of reform concerning our role in the EU, but the balance of cost versus reward remains unclear: are we paying too much in for little in return?
Nigel Farage was quick to dismiss UKIP's recent surge in popularity as a protest vote, however the overwhelming response from the Exeter student community has seen it as just that. Of those polled, just 28% believed that UKIP could now be considered a major force in British politics.
We caught up with Jonno White, chairman of the Debate Society, who said in no uncertain terms that, "For the first time in a very long time the right is split in this country. [UKIP] seem to think that they can change politics…it is really a protest vote, now [the Liberal Democrats] are in government there's no real other party to vote for in protest." This sentiment was echoed by politics graduate Rob Owen who said, "They are a splinter group which is out of touch with most people in this country. They only have one major point in their manifesto and they will get swallowed back into the Conservatives within two years."
In a response to the aforementioned poll, UKIP sympathiser and Exeter student Nick Best stated that, "Whatever you think of their policies you cannot deny they are a major party. They are going to do very well in future elections. They have a huge impact in Tory marginals, that is a major force."
UKIP were taking the opportunity at their Spring Conference to prove how diverse a political party they are, with a presentation from candidate Winston McKenzie on UKIP's contribution to, "the black and ethnic community" and a rather oddly scripted speech from extreme-right Bulgarian MEP Slavcho "Slavi" Binev concerning his professed friendship with Farage and his promises not to, "claim benefits while here" or, "bring his horse and cart". There was a tangible tension on the topic of immigration which might lead many to think that UKIP's anti-EU sentiments may not come from such an economic standpoint.
There was definitely an observable demographic in the conference audience; the majority of attendees were ageing and white. The challenge for UKIP is to increase their popularity with a new generation. Until then, as seen in our own polls, younger people will arguably still consider them nothing more than a minor party.
Dave Reynolds and James Bennett, Exeposé Comment.

What is Himalayan Pink Salt?
Thousands of years ago, crystalized sea salt beds were covered with lava. Now, they are nestled deep within the Himalayans. The lava is thought to have protected the sea salt beds from the impurities of the modern world. This led to the belief that Himalayan Pink Salt is the purest salt to be found on Earth.
The salt, which has the color hues of pinks and reds due to it's rich mineral content and energy rich iron content, is now hand-mined from the mountains and brought to the culinary market.

Martin O'Malley is often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate in 2016, and when asked last week if he might run, he offered the usual "I'm too busy being governor of Maryland" response. But Governor O'Malley didn't rule it out. And when asked whether he's had any discussion with his family, he allowed that the subject has come up with his two college-age daughters. O'Malley is making the network rounds promoting the Obama agenda as chair of the Democratic Governors Association. He gained a national spotlight for shepherding same-sex marriage through the General Assembly and signing the bill into law. Now he's billed as a hot prospect to succeed President Obama in the 2016 presidential election at a national press briefing on Friday. When asked last week what he could say about a possible run for the White House, O'Malley shifted the discussion to his current agenda.

National superintendent of year named
National superintendent named
By STARLA POINTER
Of the News-Register
Mark Edwards of North Carolina's Mooresville Graded School District, where schools are using iPads with every student to improve learning, was named national superintendent of the year today at the American Association of School Administrators' conference in Los Angeles.
McMinnville Superintendent Maryalice Russell also was among the four finanlists who were honored at the event. The other finalists were Wanda Cook-Robinson of Southfield, Mich., where her district works alongside the auto industry to shape programs for K-12; and C.J. Huff of Joplin, Mo., where both the city and the school district is rebuilding after a devastating tornado.
Russell, the current Oregon superintendent of the year, made a whirlwind trip to Washington, D.C., in January to be interviewed along with the other finalists. They also took part in a joint press conference about school safety, current educational practices and other issues.
During individual interivews, she was asked about the federal Race to the Top program and issues facing education in general. She told the judges about some of the things McMinnville schools are doing to improve student learning, such as college preparedness and courses in which high school students can earn college credit, thereby getting an early start on higher education.
In naming Russell one of the finalists for the national title, AASA officials noted McMinnville's cmprehensive approach to science, technology, engineering and math education; its consistent gains in student achievement that are significantly above the state average; and school-business partnerships such as that with the Evergreen Museums.
Russell has been superintendent in McMinnville since 2002.

This outstanding example of an Orange Pekoe grade Ceylon tea has been sourced from the Kenilworth Estate in the western Sri Lankan hills. Named after Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire, the estate is renowned for its traditionally mature style of Ceylon, characterised by an attractively long, unbroken leaf and subtle oaky tones to the cup.
At altitudes of up to 4,000 feet, the 700-acre estate profits from the fresh climate and seasonal monsoons of the hills. The best tender leaves are picked after the first monsoon and processed during the cooler weather, allowing the tea to develop its famously smooth, almost creamy texture - you'll taste none of the astringency sometimes associated with Ceylon tea. Indeed, Kenilworth holds the record for the highest price ever paid at auction for its Orange Pekoe grade tea - clear, complex and refreshingly sweet, it's not hard to see why.

Refreshing, Rich
Clear and complex with subtle notes of oak
The clear taste of this Ceylon is great with Gorgonzola cheese
Something for special occasions
Add one teaspoon (around 2g) of loose leaf tea per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be enjoyed with or without milk.

That way you're free to try something new, without the risk of disappointment.
Known by the country's original colonial name, Ceylon, Sri Lankan tea is one of the world's most popular single origin varieties. However, its success is one of those surprisingly flukes of history. Coffee plantations were originally the country's main economic resource and it wasn't until the 1860s that the Scottish pioneer James Taylor planted the first tea bush. He wasn't having much luck, but when a sudden blight devastated the coffee plantations the Sri Lankan tea industry took centre stage. The tea's clean, brisk taste proved a real hit at the London tea auctions and the British have never looked back…
We've numbered our Kenilworth Ceylon tea 47 to reflect the founding date of the Estate, 1947.
Black Tea
This historic blend is inspired by the type of tea enjoyed in Victorian London when Walter Whittard opened his first shop in 1886. Crafted according to the techniques used at the time, it's a tea with a real taste of authenticity: hearty, full-bodied and flavoursome, with a splash more originality than your everyday cuppa.More Details
Black Tea
The tea of Sri Lanka is celebrated for its clean, crisp and refreshing taste, and this Orange Pekoe grade of Ceylon has been chosen to produce a bright and slightly spicy cup. Brew lightly for true subtlety of taste, a little stronger to add a dash of milk.More Details
Black Tea
This extraordinary example of a fine Kenyan tea is the very best of its kind. The uniquely delicate, spidery leaves produce a rich russet brew full of ripe autumnal flavours; there's a layered complexity to the cup, yielding a plummy sweetness and a slight hint of cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, flavoursome and utterly moreish, it's an excellent choice for breakfast.More Details

You did not neglect it, I quote a certain p rich : "I have not seen a Forms application before, ...".

Your advice is free, as is APEX, and worth as much. The only alternative for Forms 3 and later on Client-Server Forms 6, is the java applet used by current Webforms. Not Forms Fusion. I've seen a customer with a lot of manpower fail to replace forms by web-based applications. When presenting a number of man-years worth of development to the end user, the recycle bin was its destiny. To my great despair, my current employer is having a try too. I've got 15 years experience with Oracle Forms, and a very in depth knowledge of web technology - certainly enough to know what it can and what it cannot.
Good luck to you too, you are more in need of it.

JOHANNESBURG — South African and Namibian soldiers who staged a raid into Marxist-ruled Angola and killed 45 black rebels began pulling out Sunday.
Defense spokesman Tim Kraynauw said South African and Namibian soldiers were returning Sunday to Namibia, also known as South West Africa. He did not say how many troops were involved and could not confirm they had left Angola.

These photos are showing the polish as much redder than it actually is. In reality, it's a more of a pinky-coral color. The formula is a little thin, so I used three coats here. It has a nice gold shimmer that you can see in both of my crappy iPhone photos. I really love this color.
So, you may be wondering to yourself what the first polish I put on was and the polish that I wanted to wear on my first day of class. It was Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise, a really lovely red. I brought several RBLs with me to New York City because I thought...hey, if I'm going to bring only a few polishes, I should bring the best of the best. Am I right? So anyway, I thought what BETTER polish to wear for a day when I feel like I need confidence and such than RBL Chinoise. So I pulled it out. As I was doing my nails with that polish I was thinking to myself, why has it been so long since I last used a Rescue Beauty Lounge polish!? This is amazing.
The the next morning I woke up, after having done my nails at like 7pm the evening before and not using my hands for basically anything, to find that almost all of my nails had chipped at the tips. Then I remembered that this was a problem that I had had with RBL Anne, Dead Calm, and Recycle. And that's why I hadn't worn any Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes in a while.
So the point of this story is to ask you guys...does this happen to you with Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes? Applying them is a total dream. The formulas are perfect on every single bottle I have. But I don't buy nail polish for the experience of applying it. I buy it so that when I look down at my hands I see flawless, chipless color. And that's where this high-end brand doesn't deliver for me. Is it because I'm not using the RBL base and topcoat? Because I just can't afford that. If the color isn't going to stay put with regular base and topcoat then...I'm so sad. I paid a lot of money for a lot of little bottles (I have a lot of Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes) full of beautiful colors that just don't stay on my nails.

NetX Duo DHCP Client Module Guide Resources
Information on the module guide itself and the associated resources and known issues are available here.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a useful protocol to obtain IP addresses and network parameters. DHCP extends the basic functionality of BOOTP from a static address configuration to a dynamic IP address allocation by "leasing" an IP address to a client for a specified period of time. The DHCP can also be configured to allocate IP addresses in a static manner like BOOTP. An application's IP address is one of the supplied parameters for the NetX Duo™ component; supplying an IP address poses no problem when the IP address is known to the application, either statically or through user-configuration. When the application doesn't know or care what its IP address is the NetX Duo is initialized with a zero IP address; a DHCP client component added to NetX Duo can then dynamically obtain an IP address.
Note: The NetX™ DHCP Client is almost identical to the NetX Duo DHCP Client. NetX DHCP Client applications should build and run without any changes in a NetX Duo environment.
The module supports the following features:
- The NetX Duo DHCP IPv4 Client module is compliant with RFC2132, RFC2131, and related RFCs.
- Support for IPv4
- Provides high-level APIs to:
- Create and delete a DHCP Client instance
- Start, stop, and reinitialize the DHCP Client (to restart the DHCP Client protocol)
- Request a specific IP address from the server
- Specify the network interface to run the DHCP Client on
- Supply an application-created packet pool to the DHCP Client

Kickoff is tonight. No, not the NFL; that starts Wednesday. Tonight's the first game for the BC Angels, one of four Canadian teams marking their inaugural seasons in the Lingerie Football League.
They make their debut at home against the Regina Rager at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Kickoff is at 8 p.m.
The Huffington Post B.C. caught up with Angels running back Stephanie Manou before the team kicks off its season.
How does it feel to get the season going?
I'm really excited to finally get the season going, we've been practicing for five months now, we're anxious to get to put our skills to use. We're very excited, very confident going into this game, and looking forward to a big win for B.C.
What kind of football experience do you have?
Playing experience? I actually played flag football in high school, so that's about the extent of my playing experience, but I'm a rugby player, I played for UBC, played for their team and their league team as well, I do come from a contact background, but a bit different than playing rugby and transferring over to football.
How did you get into the Lingerie Football League?
I learned about the league about a year and a half ago. For me, it's kind of the perfect combination of who I am, you know, I'm an athlete, I like to push myself, but I'm also a fitness model, so it kind of combined the two aspects of who I was perfectly.
A lot of the girls that have come out for the team are along the same lines, they have the athletic background, they have the drive to play at an elite level, we're also representing that healthy, female image that I myself also exude, so it was great to meet other women like myself who have the same interests and hobbies.
How physically demanding is the game?
It's full contact with less padding. I'm a rugby player, it's not that much of a challenge, it's more of a challenge to wear the equipment. Physically, this sport, going into it, I didn't think it was going to be this physically challenging.
I played an elite level sport before, I played for a university, I can honestly say I've never been in better shape than I'm in right now. It has been a great road that we've gone on and the amount that we've had to learn, and our bodies have had to change to adapt to the physical contact, with the pads, the style of football. A lot of these girls have never played contact sports before, it's a huge adjustment.
I'll be playing with a broken nose, but it doesn't stop me, so I'm just pushing through.
How have you had to adapt yourself?
Well your body adapts to any sport that you take on, going to the gym normally I'd just do a lot of isolated exercises for general fitness, but I've had to change my training program to be more functional and a lot of speed and agility and power work. Like I'll go through doing hurdles, functional exercises I've never had to do before.
I'm a personal trainer, I get to see these little changes in my body, some muscles are growing that I never knew I could change!
I now have a sprinter's butt and I'm really proud of that. My body's adapting, it's a really, really neat feeling and as I mentioned, it's the best shape I've ever been in, and as a trainer that says a lot.
How do you respond to the criticism that the Lingerie Football League is an exploitative sport?
Well, I think for most of the team, and I can speak for them, they just see it as a football team. What we actually have to wear, we just put it on. You just want to get out there and play the game, we're not worried about that, no matter what you do, there's going to be people who have a negative opinion of something, not everyone's going to love what you do.
You try to focus on the positive aspects of the game. Our coaching staff has been great. Coming in, they made it clear this is 100 per cent about the football, the league can dress it up however they need to, but on the field it is real football, not lingerie models, but athletes.
We just hope that people get to come and see what the game's really about, and then they can make a judgment and decide for themselves after that.
What is the most stinging criticism you've heard?
Honestly we've received a lot more praise than we have criticisms. I know people keep focusing on the critical part of it, but we've really received such a warm welcome to Abbotsford and sports in general and everyone's been pretty positive. When it was first announced is when we had the most criticism. The more reports and media we speak to, the better response we get.
I'll give you the personal example, I've heard of people claiming that it was against all women's rights, the feminists were very upset about it. It's silly to me because in my opinion, this is taking a step in the right direction, I think people just need to look at the bigger picture and not just focus on one uniform and not just focus on money. We're not getting paid but we're getting a fantastic opportunity we would not get doing anything else.
The people who have been coming to games are the people that want to see the sport, we sold tickets to lots of flag football teams, a lot other sports teams are supporting us. They want to see what it's all about, we've had an overwhelming response from the community in a positive way, in my opinion more than the negative.
