ORANGEBURG, New York (WABC) -- Let me start by saying my 8th grade soccer skills did me little good as I hit the pitch at New York City FC's brand new training facility.
After three years of training at SUNY-Purchase, the team made their official move to the Etihad City Football Academy earlier this week. It spans 17 acres and has all the bells and whistles you would want from a training center.
The state-of-the-art facility includes a FIFA-approved synthetic training surface that is usable year round thanks to under-soil heating, and can be arranged in numerous ways depending on the day's focus. The facility also includes staff office space with an open floor plan and New York City imagery; a dining room with nutritious meals prepared daily by an onsite chef specialist; a circular dressing room with 32 lockers for all first-team players; an aquatic recovery area, gym, a subway-style designed boot room, massage and medical treatment rooms, and a team meeting room; plus an outdoor fitness area.
Under the watchful eye of Coach Patrick Vieira, I took part in Media Day where I put my skills (or lack thereof!) and stamina to the test against fellow journalists from across the Tri-State. Safe to say you won't see me suiting up at Yankee Stadium any time soon.

FAIRFAX, Va., April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Events like Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina have underscored the need for healthcare providers, emergency management and other response partners to be ready to work together to meet a community's health and medical needs following a disaster. A new partnership launched this month will help healthcare coalitions – the organizations responsible for facilitating that coordination in communities nationwide – share ideas and resources to foster healthcare resilience.

The National Healthcare Coalition Resource Center (NHCRC) is a joint not-for-profit program that will provide technical assistance to emerging and established healthcare coalitions through various workshops, training opportunities, and its yearly National Healthcare Coalition Preparedness Conference. NHCRC was founded by three leading regional healthcare coalitions: Indiana's MESH Coalition, the Northern Virginia Hospital Alliance, and the Seattle-Tacoma area's Northwest Healthcare Response Network.
"The launch of the National Healthcare Coalition Resource Center represents a significant step in the development of these important public safety and emergency preparedness organizations throughout the United States," said Chad Priest , the Chief Executive Officer for MESH Coalition."I'm hopeful that the NHCRC, through our annual conference, workshops and our new website, will serve as a forum for both collaboration and innovation."
NHCRC's new website, www.healthcarecoalitions.org, provides a platform for healthcare coalitions, healthcare organizations, public health, emergency medical services, emergency management and other professionals nationwide to discuss disaster preparedness, relief and recovery in real time. Via the site's discussion forum, users will be able to swap best-practice training models, plans, tools and other resources. The site will also allow users access to information about upcoming events as well as materials and tools from other national preparedness events.
"Most healthcare coalitions receive federal funding to help hospitals and other healthcare organizations prepare for and respond to emergencies, but there hasn't been a lot of guidance about the best way to go about building and sustaining these coalitions," said Cynthia Dold , Program Manager of the Northwest Healthcare Response Network. "We're excited about the opportunity to share best practices and learnings with groups across the country who are faced with similar challenges."
NHCRC hopes that its website and other engagement platforms will help ensure public health and safety through the promotion and advancement of healthcare coalitions across the nation working together.
The NHCRC's mission is to provide a forum for sharing ideas, innovations and best practices for building and growing coalitions. It's an evolving resource created by coalitions, for coalitions.

A few months ago I started writing a column for the Agility Voice magazine. It was a series of articles called "Raising A Wicked Agility Dog". In the articles I wrote about how I raised Hex and how I started her agility training. I enjoyed writing the articles and putting ideas in writing really helps me remember what I do. Sometimes I do things automatically but this time I had to stop and think "Why do I do that?".
I have gotten some nice feedback about the article and that has been great. I did the articles because I believe in my training and I wanted to share it with others. But I also got one or two comments about how I should feel worried if Hex doesn't perform to expectations! I tried to ignore these comments, but hey,I am only human!
I felt that Hex will be the type of sheltie that will only get faster as we do more full courses. So, imagine my suprise when she came out on her first weekend and ran 6 runs , all clear in nice fast times. At her first show, as I wrote already, she got 2 second places. Well, the second day at a local unaffiliated show (non-Kennel club show) Hex decided to do alot better......4 runs, 4 clears and 4 first places! The classes ranged from 35 dogs in the novice classes to 60-ish dogs in the open classes. And her times were equal or better, over the same course, than the bigger heights.
Hex and I still have a long way to go in our training. We need to become a "team" and that just takes practice.
I am reading a great book right now called "Shaping Success: The Education of An Unlikely Champion" by Susan Garrett. I am only 1/3 the way thru it, but really enjoying it. In one chapter there was a quote that I loved and it is my goal in raising and training all my puppies!
"There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment" (quote by Norman Vincent Peale)
Hex has the enthusiasm for everything and know she will go far!

There's no doubt that Cardi B had one heck of a 2017. From her meteoric rise on the music charts, to a sweet proposal, and being the hilarious, down-to-earth, and no-holds-barred frontwoman many of us have come to love – it was definitely the year of Cardi B. Let's take a look back at what made her year so lit.

Her hit record-breaking song.
"Bodak Yellow" was the first single, single Lauryn Hill's 1998 hit "Doo Wop (That Thing)," to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, without the aid of a feature. It has since gone triple platinum. Cardi is also one of only five female rappers to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

5 Best Games of 2014 So Far
The year 2014 had huge and promising games which were supposed to take all the current gaming to a whole new level. Sadly nothing of this sort has happened yet. We are steadily witnessing growth and improvement in various aspects of gaming, be it in terms of the machines on which we play our games or the game themselves.
What led to a huge level of disappointment caused due to high promises and expectations this year was specifically three games, which you have already guessed, Titanfall, Watch Dogs and the recent game, Destiny. If you contemplate, you will reach to a conclusion that these three games are not bad or even average, but are good games. It happened something like, 'We were promised a treasure chest full of valuable shiny rare Diamonds and we got a treasure chest full of Bronze coins!'
Unfortunately we cannot add these three games in the following list, but you will find some truly amazing games included here, so lets go through the 5 Best Games of 2014 So Far. We will surely update this post as soon as we find more potential candidates.

This awesome Naughty Dog, 3rd person shooter action adventure game relaunched for next-gen, PS4 console and people were going crazy to play the enhanced The Last of Us Remastered once again.
The Last of Us Remastered is not only graphically enhanced and beautiful but details like voice acting, sound design and dialogs were also improved. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson beautifully played voice actors for Joel and Ellie, they have created perfect emotions for their characters throughout the game.

The Wolf Among Us: Cry Wolf
An amazing game for gamers who love various fictional characters, as The Wolf Among Us is fully based on various mythical characters that fled after the invasion of their Homelands. The Wolf Among Us: Cry Wolf is the fifth episode of the The Wolf Among Us series.
It is a prequel to the comic series Fables, with gorgeous brightly colored visuals. Most of the times you have to choose from a set of pre-defined actions, but this feature in no way makes you feel confined to a specific action.
In this game you have the freedom to explore and talk to characters also. The Wolf Among Us: Cry Wolf received very positive reviews from the critics at the time of its launch.
Dark Souls 2

Ian Fricker at the Mercury Theatre Colchester
13.02.2012for The Public Reviews
The playwright present at rehearsal ? Never an easy decision, as Bennett shows us in The Habit of Art.
In this, Coward's farewell to the stage, we have young Bryan Snow [a distant, more commercial cousin of Roland Maule in Present Laughter] constantly involved in casting disputes and endless re-writes. Very nicely done by Bob Saul, who delivered the saccharine closing speech with commendable sincerity.
Star Quality attempts to analyse the state of British theatre; Christopher Luscombe put it together some years ago from Coward's unperformed script and an earlier short story with the same title.
It's set in the 50s, though the feel is more late 60s, when the drawing room was giving way to the kitchen sink, and the glamour of the West End was threatened by Directors' Theatre at the Royal Court and the Old Vic.
Whichever, it might as well be Garrick's Drury Lane, so far is it removed from thespian life today. Almost all the men wear ties to rehearsal, and everyone smokes all the time. Adrian Linford's clever design captures the period well, with an especially awful stage set for the play, Dark Heritage. And one of the strengths of Joe Harmston's direction was the way the rehearsal stage was seamlessly used for all the settings – the cosy trattoria, the flowery bower of the star dressing room, the cottage in Kent. The sound plot was effective too [Matthew Bugg], in the time lapses, for instance, as the read-through and the rewrites are elided. The script is full of names, dropped or flagged up, and in-jokes, and some amusing period pastiche.
Not a particularly original bunch, these characters. The seen-it-all dresser [Gay Soper, underused here], the solid actor with amnesia ["I knew it backwards in the bath this morning..." Keith Myers], the "competent" superannuated soubrette, sacked after Manchester, [Sarah Berger] and the ruthless big-headed director, presumably written with the Master himself in mind [Daniel Casey]. Most interesting, I thought, was his Graeme Payn, the waspish personal assistant played with subtlety and style by Anthony Houghton, his suede shoes a sure sign of deviant decadence.
Not forgetting, of course, the ageing leading lady, flattered into accepting the role, insecure despite the accolades and the applause. Gertie Lawrence, one assumes, so a big ask, and only fitfully embodied [in her "in the dark, alone" big speech, notably] by Liza Goddard, elegant even in her most difficult moments.
The show begins and ends with that most evocative of settings, a dark, empty stage. And after the curtain calls, the reconciliation, the eulogy to star quality itself, Goddard's Miss Barrie is left to switch off the working light.

Because the hunt for the fabled Amber Room, regarded as one of Russia's truly great art treasures, could be over. The Amber Room, so-called for its ornate amber panels, was kept in Russia for more than 200 years, before it was looted by the Nazis during the Second World War.
Its treasures and amber panels were spirited away to Germany, but the exact location of it was lost in the chaos that engulfed Germany at the end of the war. The mystery of its resting place has fuelled 50 years of hunting, debating and conspiracy theorising. But despite the large following of hunters, it had seemed that not even Indiana Jones could lay its mystery to rest. Until now.
A group of German treasure hunters now claims to have located the Amber Room in an underground cavern near Germany's border with the Czech Republic. If the claim turns out to be true, it could put an end to one of the greatest treasure hunts of modern history.
What is the Amber Room?

India v Australia ODIs
Carey debuts as Aussies face India
Allrounder Nicola Carey gets the nod to join Australia's XI with India forced into late change as illness hits captain Mithali Raj
Laura Jolly at the Reliance Stadium, Vadodora
12 March 2018, 02:04 PM AEST
Allrounder Nicola Carey will make her international debut against India in the first one-day international in Vadodara, while Beth Mooney has also earned an ODI recall.
India won the toss and elected to bat first, but have been struck a huge blow with captain Mithali Raj ruled out due to illness, with vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur stepping up as skipper.
Congrats Nic Carey, ODI cap No. 137! 👏 pic.twitter.com/w3ztTqJt3W
— Australian Women's Cricket Team 🏏 (@SouthernStars) March 12, 2018
Australia have made three changes to the most recent one-day XI they fielded during the Ashes last October, led by the return of captain Meg Lanning after a seven-month absence due to shoulder surgery.
Opening batter and back-up 'keeper Beth Mooney comes into the XI in place of Elyse Villani who appears to be the unlucky victim of the need for Australia to fit in the in-form Queenslander, after Mooney scored a rapid century in Australia's first warm-up game last week and who was in red-hot form throughout the summer.
Mooney will come in at No.5, while Carey slots into the place left open by injured allrounder Tahlia McGrath who was ruled out of the tour due to stress fractures.
Carey, who was presented with ODI cap No.137 by vice-captain Rachael Haynes before play, got the nod ahead of fellow spin-bowling allrounder Sophie Molineux and quick Belinda Vakarewa, who struggled with a stomach issue in the days leading up to the match.
The selection problems posed by Australia's wealth of batting talent was also a major talking point in the lead-up to the Ashes.
Then, it was Mooney who made way, as Australia looked to bolster their bowling attack with an extra allrounder. But her incredible form during the T20I series, where she played as a specialist batter and scored 87no and 117no, combined with her form throughout the home summer, has been enough for her to force her way back into the one-day team.
While Villani had an outstanding domestic summer in both the WNCL and Rebel WBBL, she as a below-par Ashes campaign across all three formats, 95 runs at 13.57 in seven matches with a high score of 38 in the opening ODI in Brisbane.
Australia coach Matthew Mott confirmed on Sunday that the selectors were committed to keeping an extra bowling option in the XI, a shift that was made to their team balance following their World Cup semi-final defeat to India last July.
"We are blessed with a number of all-round options now," Mott said. "We knew going into that World Cup that one way or another, our team balance wasn't quite right.
"I think the best teams just evolve and learn from their mistakes and that's something we've done well and did extremely well against England.
"There are opportunities for some of the allrounders to step up in this series, we've picked a number of players who are in good form from the WBBL and we go in with a lot of confidence.
"India are definitely up against a team I feel will respond better to the sort of pressure they put on us in the semi-final.
"With a bit of luck we'll be able to show that in the next three games out here."

Boone Central/Newman Grove has won its share of team championships and individual medals in the annual Mid-State Conference track & field championships, but the Cardinals came up short in their quest for gold at the 2017 event Monday. May 1.
Boone Central/Newman Grove did have four runner-up performances and 12 placing efforts overall, but no event winners in the competition at Wayne. The Lady Cardinals finished 7th in the team standings and the BC/NG boys 8th.
Although the level of success was short of recent years, Card Coach Justin DeWitt felt his charges competed well.
"I was proud of all our athletes for how they competed," DeWitt praised. "Both the boys and the girls had 10 season bests on the day.
"Kelsey Thompson had another impressive day, placing in the 400, pole vault and 4×100 relay. Brian Mock showed great improvement in the 3200, lowering his time by over 45 seconds."
Thompson, a sophomore, had the biggest medal haul for Boone Central/Newman Grove, taking 2nd in the 400 meter dash, running a leg on the runner-up 4×100 relay, and placing 3rd in the pole vault. Senior Dalton Wagner also won multiple medals, placing 2nd in the discus and 3rd in the shot put. Junior Jessie Sullivan was runner-up in the shot put and senior Jenna Kramer took 3rd in the high jump.

The Epic $350,000-A-Year Job Nobody Wants To Apply For
You'd think that a position that pays nearly $350,000 a year with three months of holiday would attract the best of the best. But what happens to make it a job that nobody wants? This consideration is something that has puzzlingly affected a posting from New Zealand.
With the title of GP up for grabs at a practice in the small town of Tokoroa on the North Island, you'd think the flood of applications would be overwhelming. That, however, is not the case, as the posting has been up for 2 years with an ideal candidate yet to come through. You'd think tending to moderate population of 13600 would be an appealing setting for someone looking to get away from it all, but according to practice owner Dr Alan Kenny the last application filtered in 4 months ago. This is absolutely shocking considering that the role features a £190,000 (roughly AU$325,000) salary that's twice the average, no night nor weekend work, three months holiday and a 50% share of the practice.
Is there some underlying madness to the lacklustre application rate? Some insane rumour running out of the town of Tokoroa? I mean just look at it, it's quaint and located in one of the most beautiful regions of the world.
There is actually a fair argument for the lack of interest, with the New Zealand Rural General Practice Network's deputy chief executive (what a mouthful) saying it's mainly due to the isolation, lack of schooling and social options, and poor internet. But come on, you've got spectacular views like this explore.

Gene Witt tells why he should be the state representative from the 12th district.
Gene Witt
Mis 3 prioridades principales
- Address and resolve the State's financial crisis
- Term Limits
- Rebuild the education model throughout the state to deliver a consistent quality education regardless of where in Illinois a student may reside
Actividades comunitarias
Preguntas y Respuestas
Preguntas de Chicago Sun-Times (15)
I do not believe that any elected official should make a career in government. It is a service to the community and people of the State. Any elected official should be limited to time in office to prevent manipulation of system.
I will sponsor legislature to end Gerrymandering and fair district maps
Mike Madigan, John Cullerton and those representatives who support them, are not only responsible for the stalemate but for the financial crisis. Presenting a budget with a $7.5 Billion deficit is unconstitutional. It is a sign that Madigan, Cullerton and those who voted to pass the budget are not serious or capable to solving our financial problems. Any reasonable, responsible individual will work to reduce spending. In addition we need to increase our tax base, not our tax rate. We must address the pension crisis, we are in a deep hole and there are no sacred cows.
It depends, if the current house leadership continues to pass unrealistic budgets and avoid working toward a compromise, then it may be the only solution. This is part of a bigger crisis that needs to be resolved.
The State is currently spending $4 billion more that it bring in annually. We do not have a solution for the $115 Billion pension problem that is growing. Our State bonds are junk status. So this is a math problem. We need to make spending reductions, increase annual revenue, ideally by increasing the tax base, not the rate. If we don't we will lose more than our higher education institutions
We need to simplify the formula and make it understandable. The current complex formula allows the politicians and special interest groups to direct funding unfairly and avoid transparency. Most of the funding problems stems from the pension crisis. Until this is resolved there is no opportunity for true school funding reform.
Illinois needs to attract more businesses, create jobs in the private sector, so that we can increase our tax base. Our workers compensation laws are costly to business owners. Reduce overall property tax burden, lower the cost of government to provide stability, reform Medicaid
If we continue on our path of losing residents and businesses the reduction in the tax base will force us to increase the tax rate which will lead to a death spiral of people and businesses moving out of Illinois
I find is odd and sad that politicians need a constitutional amendment to address fiduciary responsibilities. The lottery was supposed to fund education and those monies are scattered, wasted and used in everything but education. If a department such as CTA needs money to upgrade and repair equipment then the cost of maintaining and operating the CTA should be incorporated into the price of the fare. If the department of transportation needs to improve or repair roads then there needs higher tolls or the revenue from our Gas tax go specifically to those needs.
First off I do believe we have a moral & ethical obligation to honor pensions of most workers that have already retired and are at an age close to retirement
The two main issues with our pension problem are the age in which workers can retire and the cost of living increase they receive once they start collecting benefits.
So the first issue is to set an age in which a state worker can begin collecting benefits. It should be age 65 like the rest of the population
The Cost of Living increase needs to be evaluated on a 5 year basis and adjusted accordingly
Not automatically. Currently a pensioner that retires after 25 yrs of service at age 50 with a pension of $60,000, would collected $3 million by age 80
Lastly, we need to go to a Defined contribution type plan to stop abuses of our current system
Yes, although in the short term we need to expand some funding, especially for mental illness. We can spend less money in the long run on treating a person with mental illness rather than incarcerating them at $25K or more a year.
These laws were originally expanded in the 80's when the drug trade was greater and authorities needed to seize assets of drug lords. These laws are not meant to be used in cases against the general population for minor offenses. If the authorities are using these laws on the general population, then we need to address the reasoning for that action. I do not tolerate violence or drug activity, but I also do not tolerate for abuse of authority
No. I think we need to draw a line on this. While I empathize with a person that struggles with gender identity, society cannot accommodate every desire of its people. A birth certificate is a legal document, Changing documents from the past is opening Pandora 's Box, history has taught us that people will go to extremes to mislead and take advantage of a system especially for financial gain. We need to draw the line? Can a person change their race, if they don't feel it fits their identity? Will a white male change his birth certificate to asian female, so they can qualify for government contracts?
I think that we need to establish a protocol for evaluating a person's medical and psychological condition in order to determine if the desire to end one's life is not driven by a state of depression that could be managed. The argument for keeping someone alive can also be cruel if driven by financial motives.
We need a better understanding of why there is a rise of violence in Chicago. Most of the gang related violence, as I understand it, has more to do with territory control and a breakdown of community leadership. Some people may be so lost into the gang culture and have become such violent people that it may not be possible to rehabilitate them. The State needs more prison space to address those individuals that are a danger to society. The residents of these areas are stuck, they have lost confidence in the police and legal system and they also fear the gangs, so they need help. I support the recently harsher penalties for illegal gun trafficking.
Minimum wage is meant to be a starting wage for learning a skill, not a living wage. While I understand some people are forced to take positions that pays less when they lose a job, it is supposed to be a training position for a new skill. If the minimum wage increase too much it will prevent the expansion and development of new businesses, it will limit opportunities.
I do not support an increase in the minimum wage at this time. The state alone should set a fair and reasonable baseline for starting wages.
No, I do not support this tax although I understand the philosophy behind it. One cent is not going to change people's behavior. Government has to stop interfering with people's decision on how they want to live.
Regardless of ones views on global warming, we should basically keep our environment clean
Always look for new ways to provide clean affordable energy
