There are so many things to do in France: museums, galleries, tourist attractions, festivals, sporting events, wine tasting, cooking classes, outdoor activities; it's virtually impossible to say you've "seen France" in only one trip. Which is fine! There is plenty of France to go around, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. But unless you have about a year of vacation time stored up, you're going to need to narrow down your choices. Here are some of our France Travel Guide links to the most popular and interesting things to do in France.
Cheer from the roadside for the riders of the Tour de France, held every July – check out the best Tour de France spectator tips, or get in on the action with a Tour de France vacation that features cycling along the same routes!
Plan your itinerary to hit the top cathedrals in France, some of the most beautiful in the world. The Cathedral of Rouen is a favorite of those fresh from seeing Monet's paintings of it in Paris.
Spend a day in the walled city of Carcassonne, or at surreal Mont Saint Michel, one of the most spectacular sights in all of France.
If you're the outdoorsy type, France offers canoeing on the Dordogne River, skiing in the Alps and paragliding in Annecy. If you are not that adventurous but still want to spend time outdoors, let someone else do all the physical work – consider a barge tour vacation through France's famed canals.
The foodies and oenophiles among you might want to take a French wine tasting vacation, visit the Cointreau distillery, shop in food markets around France, stock up at the Dijon International Gastronomy Fair or stick around for the nationwide Beaujolais Nouveau Festival in November.
If you're looking for things to do in France in the summer, check out our ideas for a summertime road trip through France – or catch as many summer music festivals in France as you can!

Roxanne Quimby's land company buys 8K more acres in Maine
TOWNSHIP 4, RANGE 8, Maine (AP) � Conservationist Roxanne Quimby is buying thousands more acres of woodlands next to Baxter State Park in northern Maine.
Quimby's land company, Elliotsville Plantation Inc., is purchasing 8,315 acres in Township 4, Range 8 in Penobscot County. Terms aren't being disclosed.
The Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/TMBxJi ) reported that Elliotsville Plantation will allow snowmobilers to continue using the land. The nonprofit also said it's opened another 14 miles of snowmobile trails on other property it owns in the region.
Quimby has bought large tracts of land in Maine since selling Burt's Bees cosmetics company, which she co-founded in the 1980 and sold last decade. She has drawn attention in recent years with her proposal to donate 70,000 acres of land for the creation of a national park.

Cultivating Diverse Humanities Leaders
by Rabeya Rahman | Jan 23, 2019 | Blog, Event Spotlight |
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awards Rutgers-Newark $1.5 million to revolutionize humanities education
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded the Rutgers University – Newark Honors Living-Learning Community (HLLC) a three-year, $1.5 million grant to help cultivate the next diverse generation of humanities scholars.
"The number of professors from underrepresented groups in American higher education remains stubbornly low," wrote Mellon Foundation Program Officer Armando Begochea in a September 2018 opinion piece. "College and university students have every right to demand better… Each institution, from small community colleges to grand research universities, has to tap into its own capacity for implementing change models…"
That is precisely what Rutgers-Newark plans to do with the grant. The HLLC will create the Clement A. Price Humanities Scholars Program, which will build seamless pathways for students to earn undergraduate degrees in humanities disciplines, paving the way to graduate school and academic careers. Leveraging the nationally renowned diversity of Rutgers-Newark's student body and those of its two-year feeder institutions, the program aims to help diversify the ranks of humanities scholars. The first cohort of Price Scholars will be selected for fall 2019 from among incoming transfer students admitted to the HLLC and current HLLC sophomores who are interested in humanities careers.
"The humanities are absolutely central to our understanding of who we are," observed Rutgers-Newark Chancellor Nancy Cantor. "These are the disciplines where we do the hard work of discovering untold stories of our past and present and reweaving our individual and collective narratives. Doubling down on doing that hard work is critically important at a time when divisions among us appear to be growing and hardening. But we know that the talent pool we have right here in front of us in Newark and in diverse communities across New Jersey, one of the nation's most diverse states, is up to the task! Fully cultivating that talent is among the highest priorities for our university and for the nation as a whole, and we could not be more excited—nor more grateful—to be able to partner with the Mellon Foundation on this crucial initiative."
Named for the late Clement A. Price, a distinguished professor at Rutgers-Newark who was a pioneer in helping diversify the university's own faculty, the Price Humanities Scholars Program will build on the HLLC's innovative, strengths-based model to increase access to humanities careers for talented students from diverse backgrounds. Open to students from all backgrounds, the program has a particular focus on students from groups that are underrepresented in the humanities on the basis of race, socio-economic status, and other identities. It will employ a multi-layered approach including undergraduate research, publicly engaged scholarship, innovative courses, visiting scholars, mentoring, and professional development opportunities to support HLLC scholars on the pathway to graduate school in the humanities and onto careers in related fields.
Price Scholars will be guided on that pathway methodically, but flexibly within a specialized 18-credit curriculum constituting an academic minor. "Price Scholars will take their first three courses in the program as part of the full HLLC cohort, providing a framework to explore social inequities and themes related to engaged citizenship," said HLLC Dean Timothy K. Eatman. "Following that, they will take several elective courses in the humanities and a humanities research methods course before then embarking on guided research projects in the humanities, culminating in a capstone course research project, with close mentoring by faculty, staff, and professionals throughout."
Among its means of paving the pathway to humanities careers for Price Scholars, the HLLC will employ:
Full Residential Scholarships covering room and board
Generous financial aid packaging that optimizes eligibility for scholarships for tuition and fees
Individualized mentoring and support for students with an interest in pursuing graduate school and careers in the Humanities (Professoriate, Cultural Arts Institutions, Educational Institutions, etc.)
Conference attendance and presentations, funded undergraduate research and career opportunities, publicly engaged scholarship, innovative courses, individualized exposure to visiting scholars
Free GRE preparation and support with graduate school applications
Price Humanities Scholars also will reap the full benefit of being connected to the robust and growing network of HLLC friends and supporters locally, nationally, and globally.
The Honors Living-Learning Community was created in 2015 as a high priority under Rutgers-Newark's strategic plan, reflecting input gathered during a months-long process that engaged university stakeholders broadly and democratically. Since then, the HLLC has established itself as a transformational college access program by challenging and redefining the notion of "merit" to cultivate the untapped talent of increasingly diverse new generations, providing students with the resources and opportunities to be thought leaders within their fields, positive collaborators within their communities, and change agents in our world, and activating intergenerational and interdisciplinary learning through dynamic curricula, to tackle local and global social issues in and outside of the classroom. Lauded in recent months by The New York Times and PBS NewsHour, the HLLC has risen to national prominence as a model for honors education.
Reflecting on the urgent need for initiatives such as the Price Scholars Program, Eatman concluded, "The future of our democracy depends on the cultivation of positive change agents in the academy who are deeply invested in and courageous enough to prepare themselves to face the prevalent and daunting pressing public challenges that abound in our society."
Transfer students interested in completing their undergraduate degree at Rutgers-Newark and ultimately pursuing graduate school and career paths in the humanities and related disciplines should apply to Rutgers University – Newark by February 1, selecting the HLLC option, in order to receive an invitation to the HLLC interview process.

How Steve Jobs Turned Apple around in 1997
This speech probably took a lot of guts to deliver to the Apple faithful, and not surprisingly much of it was followed with of boos and jeers.
However the thing to note is this key statement below. One that I firmly believe really sets the foundation for the Apple we know today:

Horror of All Horrors – Apple Might Be Appealing to an Older Demographic
I just love this snippet, from Power Lunch, where finance commentators meet a tech commentator, from CNET. Not much mutual understanding. What is a hoot is the worry that Apple might be trouble because it is appealing to an older demographic. Well done Apple I say.

Brands, like Apple, Are the Masters of the Universe!
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on the Internet about two similar events. What happened was basically this; The Masters of the Universe had proclaimed their decrees like dictators and the only thing the rest of the world could do was, for a lack of a better phrase, gnash their teeth in frustration.

Apple Executives Have Balls of STEEL!
The world is all in a frenzy with the launch of the iPad. Even I could not help but get caught up in the madness. I have been reading a whole host of articles covering the iPad launch, ranging from New York Times tech columnist David Pogue's schizophrenic review, marketing linchpin Seth Godin's marketing angle, and blogging actor Stephen Fry's heart felt "why buy" (loved him in V for Vendetta) and Fastcompany's "don't buy" reality check. And these are just a small snap shot of all the articles I've been tracking!

Green with Ennui
Judging from its branding and the griping of its competitors, Apple customers are hip, aware, and enlightened, yet its shareholders recently defeated resolutions to make the company more environmentally responsible and affirmed instead their uncool unconcern about anything other than profits.

iPad a Stroke of Genius or Just a Stroke?
Unless you have been living under a rock recently, I'm sure you would have heard of the Apple iPad. Pretty much everyone has. So much so that there has been a lot said about this product, both good and bad. Do a search on Google and you get 23 Million plus hits. Crazily enough, some people even claimed that it was hotter than the tablets Moses brought down from Mount Sinai.

How Much Money Are Apple and Amazon Making from Selling the iPad and the Kindle?
Getting ready for the iPod coming to an Apple store near you, iTunes TV show downloads is about to happen. Apple will be offering US TV shows for $1 each, as reported by the Financial Times. This coincides with the scheduled release of the iPad sometime in April in an attempt to pull adoption. TV episodes are normally $1.99 for standard-definition and $2.99 for high-definition through iTunes.

Microsoft, Middle Management and Why Some Companies Can't Innovate
This week's op-ed piece (Microsoft's Creative Destruction) in the New York Times from Dick Brass, a former Microsoft VP, was a wake up call for the tech world. In a thoughtful but ultimately scathing piece, Brass describes how and why Microsoft gradually evolved from an innovative company with first-mover advantage to a technological also-ran scrambling behind just about everyone in bringing new products to market:

Will Apple's Home Energy Management System Become the Next iTunes? What about Microsoft?
Home energy management is hot and I've seen more than a dozen companies having a very similar approach. It is almost hopeless for small start-ups to play the same, as many deep pockets have been working on this for a long time. Whirlpool and energy retailer Direct Energy have joined forces to showcase what the energy efficient home of the future will look like at the CES. I've seen some cool stuff from them.

Home 2015 Offseason Continued Success Starts with the Draft
Continued Success Starts with the Draft
2015 Offseason Danny Madden February 15, 2015 0 Comment
As a low budget team, the Indians really need to bank on being able to raise their players through the farm system. This requires solid coaching, good leadership, and some talented players. This puts a lot of pressure on the front office to make sure that they are going into the draft fully prepared to select the best player they can that will impact them in the future. Unlike the college drafts in the NBA and the NFL, it usually takes years for players to develop in the minor leagues before they're ready for their time to shine in the MLB, which makes it difficult to predict if a player from the draft is actually going to ever impact the team. Over the last couple of seasons though, the Indians have been prosperous in their drafts, which has boded well for them over the last couple of seasons.
Prior to 2008, the Indians had not been very good in their drafts, and the result of their poor drafts is shown in how they performed between the 2009-2012 seasons. Between 2004 and 2007, the Indians first pick overall consisted of Jeremy Sowers, Trevor Crowe, David Huff, and Beau Mills, all of whom are either not in the majors or are not contributing much to a major league team. Huff saw some time with the Giants and Yankees in 2014, but it was only out of the bullpen instead of in a starting role like he was drafted to fill. Crowe spent most of his career being injured with the Indians, but was eventually released. He spent some time in the minors in 2014 with Detroit, but never cracked the majors with them.
Aside from their first round picks, even their secondary and later round picks are not to be seen in the majors except for Vinnie Pestano, and Josh Tomlin who is still with the Tribe. On average, it takes a player about three to four years before they break the majors, depending on scarcity of the position in the system, talent of the player, and how confident the team feels about such player. By going four years into the future of these drafts, the records of the Indians between 2008-2011 were not anything to get excited about. During this span, the Indians went 295-353, two of those seasons had 90+ lost games. Around 2008 was when the Indians really started to turn things around in their drafting abilities.
Their first round pick of 2008 was the current third basemen of the Tribe, Lonnie Chisenhall. He was just the start of what has now turned into string of consecutive years of quality picks from the draft. Along with Chisenhall, lefty T.J. House was selected in the sixteenth round, and current backup catcher Roberto Perez was also selected in the thirty-third round of that draft.
In 2009, the Tribe selected pitcher Alex White with their first round pick, who was eventually traded as part of the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, along with the 2010 first round pick Drew Pomeranz. Their second pick in the 2009 draft though was where they selected Jason Kipnis. Within two years of each other, the Indians have gone on to select two players who will be serving everyday roles in the 2015 squad. Kipnis has been such a crucial part of this team since he made his debut in 2011, that the Tribe made sure to lock him up to a six year deal during the spring of 2014. Despite having a down season in 2014, he's still going to be a player that the Tribe will rely on in 2015, and that all started with him being drafted in 2009.
As time went on, the Indians continued to get better with their making quality picks in the draft. Their best selection over probably the last decade was with their first round pick in 2011, which was for shortstop Francisco Lindor. Lindor, 21, was ranked the fourth best prospect by MLB.com and is likely to make his debut with the Indians at some point during the 2015 season. He'll be another player that will become an everyday asset, and he wasn't acquired by trades or free agency, but by quality drafting by the front office. Along with Lindor, current closer Cody Allen was also selected in the 2011 draft and he has worked his way into being a centerpiece in the Indians bullpen for the foreseeable future.
The 2014 draft may have been one of the best draft classes for the Indians. They selected Bradley Zimmer and lefty Justus Sheffield in their first round, who both should be contributors to the club for a long time. Along with these two Mike Papi, Grant Hockin, and power hitting first basemen Bobby Bradley are all projected to grow into quality players. These five players alone made the Indians stand out among the rest of the teams as the ceilings for these players are incredibly high.
After 2008, it is easy to see how much the Indians have recently benefited from making quality picks in the draft. At least seven of the players on the current roster were acquired during the draft, there are more quality players in the minors that are waiting to bust onto the scene. If a small market team, like the Indians, can be prosperous from a draft, it really just benefits them for the future. They don't have the ability to go out and sign players for crazy amounts of money like some other teams can, but if they are able to get players in the draft and bring them up through the system correctly then they don't feel as pressured to spend money on free agents.
This is the pain that comes with being a smaller market team, but the Indians have been able to get away with not spending money. Their drafting abilities have improved, and should keep on improving based off the picks they've chosen in the last few years. The future for the Indians is looking great right now, but only time will tell if these prospects pan out.

Should You Feed Your Dog Grain-Free Food?
Aug 7, 2018, 11:00am
Photo: Bas Bloemsaat
Some (not all!) grain-free dog foods are getting extra scrutiny from the FDA, after several dogs in the US who ate those foods developed a rare canine heart disease.
You don't have to ditch your dog's favourite food just because it's grain-free, but it's worth taking a look at why you chose it and whether it's really the best choice.
Are some of these foods really dangerous?
The FDA is suspicious of certain grain-free foods because of a rash of cases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs.
This is a condition that isn't fully understood, but it's more common in certain breeds, and previous research has shown that diet can play a role, especially if it results in dogs' bodies being deficient in the naturally occurring chemicals taurine or carnitine.
Some veterinary cardiologists noticed they were seeing more cases of DCM in dog breeds that don't normally get it, and these dogs were eating grain-free dog foods with potatoes or legumes.
That's all we know so far. The FDA isn't warning people away from grain-free dog foods, just giving us a heads up that they're looking into them. It could turn out that the food isn't related at all. Here's one alternate explanation off the top of my head: Grain-free pet foods are more expensive, and may just happen to be popular among the same people who have the budget to take their pet to a canine cardiologist.
Which foods are suspicious?
The FDA doesn't name names, but here's how they describe the foods:
Diets in cases reported to the FDA frequently list potatoes or multiple legumes such as peas, lentils, other "pulses" (seeds of legumes), and their protein, starch and fibre derivatives early in the ingredient list, indicating that they are main ingredients.
In other words, they aren't talking about every food that says "grain-free" on the front. If a food has multiple words near the beginning of the ingredient list that name these ingredients — such as "lentils" and then "pea protein" and then "soybean flour", for example — that could mean that legumes make up a large proportion of the ingredients of that food. Take a look at your dog's food label and see whether it matches this description.
What's so great about grain-free foods anyway?
We think of dogs as carnivores, and indeed their wild ancestors ate plenty of dead animals. But dogs are built to be able to digest other foods as well. Scientists who have compared dog DNA with wolf DNA found that our canine best friends are better equipped than their ancestors to digest starch (found in grains and other plant foods). This probably helped them learn to take advantage of human garbage and handouts.
The details of how this happened are historically murky, but in any case, dogs are not full-on carnivores any more. Dogs can eat grains as a part of their food, so long as the food is nutritionally balanced overall (enough protein, and so on).
"Grain-free" dog foods aren't usually all meat; look at the ingredients list and you'll typically find that grains such as wheat or corn have been replaced by other starchy vegetables — such as peas, lentils and potatoes.
Until now, it's seemed that the grain-based and vegetable-based dog foods deliver similar nutrition. But if the FDA's suspicions are right, the foods with large amounts of legumes and potatoes might be bad for your dog's long-term health.
What should I do if my dog eats a grain-free food?
If you feed your dog a grain-free food, and it contains multiple legume or potato ingredients near the top of the ingredients list, it's probably smart to switch to something else until we figure out whether these are problematic.
The Whole Dog Journal suggests asking yourself why you chose this food. If it was just on a whim, switch away. But if you settled on this food as the only one that helps your dog with digestive or other health problems, proceed more carefully.
As always, the best source of information about what to do for your dog's health is not an article you read on the internet, but a discussion with your veterinarian.

Q: How to add an icon preview to a html list of google store apps? Basically I have a list of google apps link in a html file, and I want the links to show the preview of the app linked (without searching and then adding the image/icon url manually, for each app). Is it possible?

 Adobe Acrobat

 Firefox

A: Using python you can scrape the social media image preview in the meta tags of the page.
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

page = urllib.request.urlopen('https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader')

html = BeautifulSoup(page.read(), "html.parser")
for tags in html.find_all('meta'):
    if tags.get("property") == "og:image":
        print(tags.get("content"))

This will return a link to an image which you can either import to your html file, or manually copy it.

I have been using an expensive well known brand for several years and was reluctant to change, despite the cost, until I discovered Nourish Night Balm. For my menopausal skin, it is perfect. It absorbs without leaving a greasy/oily residue and I was up with the soft skin I wanted.
food for the skin and soul !
This balm is the best one I've tried so far! It smells absolutely gorgeous! The rose scent helps reduce anxiety and ignite a sense of romance and youth . It's definitely a mood lifter!
The combination of oils and oils and waxes in this product has to be the perfect combination as the Rose and Camelia oils sink into the skin , the wax in the product helps lock it in and act as a base to protect the skin from pollution and harsh weather .
After using this Product one time I have seen a huge difference in my complexion! My dark circles have faded , my skin is one even tone , and supper supple! It's as if I've had 10 hours of good sleep!
The best combo! Highly recommend it !
My skin is chronically dry, normal dry skin creams are just too thick and lie on the surface of the skin. The balm has a waxy feel, but when warmed in the palm it transforms into to a beautiful silky texture the smell is amazing. Absorbs instantly and I woke up with nourished, firm dewy skin. So pleased i have found this product.
I first got a sample of this night balm & have since ordered a full size - I think that speaks for itself, I really like it.
This is the first time I have used this product and I love it!! I use it as a night balm and it is so easy to massage the face as it doesn't disappear quickly. My skin loves it and my face feels as though it's been nourished during the night.
A miracle in a small pot!
I absolutely love Nourishing Face Balm on my skin! Nourishing balm is a miracle in a small pot! It nourishes and moisturizes the skin while I sleep and smells absolutely lovely. My skin feels so soft and fresh after waking up in the morning. You only need to apply a little as the cream is rich. I recommend Nourishing face balm rose and camellia to everyone. I have had a positive feedback from all my clients about Botanical products. Thank you and I am very pleased that I have discovered your brand.
Everything it promised and more!
I have been trying so many natural remedies and creams, wanting to take better care of my skin, and then I came across Botanicals. I can safely say this is the most beautiful, luxurious and rewarding facial cream I have ever used. Getting older (ahem!) I opted to moisturise with this product for a deeper effect and use it religiously before bed (after using the equally fab Cleansing melt, in the same 'flavour'). Not only does my skin look and feel better, but I swear my undereye area feels a little firmer too - in your face wrinkles!
I would definitely recommend this product, and Botanicals in general, if you want to truly care for your skin. It doesn't even cost the earth (literally) unlike many others that claim the same results. Try it and you won't be dissapointed!
Smells lovely & sinks into the skin easily leaving it hydrated & moisturised. My skin feels soft & smooth after using this.
Ever since I noticed my first crow feet I've been on the lookout for the perfect moisturiser - I think I might have found it - light enough to use during the day, balmy enough to make my skin feel properly rehydrated, and smells gorgeous.
I love this product and so do my clients. I surf, and after the cold, windy weather we've had this balm is perfect for nourishing my poor weather beaten skin! It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. Clients love it too and always say they love the smell of the Botanicals products and their skin feels great afterwards.
I tested this product initially for the Beauty Bible and loved it from the start. Such an easy product to apply, goes on lovely and sinks into the skin well. I use it as a nightcream, makes my skin feel really nourished and smells devine. Also great after a day on the beach. Great price and lasts well. Would definately recommned.

The seniors were defeated 1-15 to 0-12 by Fanad Gaels on Bank Holiday Monday. It was a game where Aodh Ruadh only found their groove in the second half. They suffered the loss through injury of Johnny Gallagher and Michael Ward early in the first half and minors, Ronan McGurrin and Matthew 'Turkey' Thompson and Peter Boyle all fielded and gave impressive performances in trying circumstances.
In a topsy-turvy game, Aodh Ruadh reserves were unfortunate to come away from Portsalon with just a share of the points. Down by seven points at one stage, they were two up with just a couple of minutes left on the clock only to be pegged back by Fanad to 2-9 to 1-12. Ronan McGurrin got the Ernesiders goal as well as bagging a couple of points. McGurrin enjoyed had a fruitful partnership with Turkey Thompson in the middle of the field. In defence Stephen Bradley and Mickey Dolan were solid as always while up front Barry Travers soldiered effectively at half forward and James McIntyre did well in the play-maker role. Joe Watson was also a significant threat throughout.
The fixtures for the coming weekend see the seniors and reserves host Malin in Father Tierney Park on Saturday, 8th May. The reserve game throws in at 5pm and is followed by the seniors at 6.30pm. The thirds are also at home, they entertain Glenfin on Sunday, 9th May for their next game in division five. The throw in for that match is 6pm.
The minors secured their first win of the league campaign with a hard-earned 4-5 to 2-8 victory over Naomh Columba. The Glen men were doughty opposition and Aodh Ruadh had to fight for the two points, particularly in the second half when the boys from in through mounted a determined come back. Best for Ballyshannon were Conor Patton at full back and Ronan Drummond during his stint in defence. Marcus Harley had a profitable spell in the middle of the field, chipping in with a point, while up front Ronan McGurrin lead the scoring with 2-2. Ruairi Drummond had a fine first half and finished the game with 1-1. Niall Murray with a goal and Ronan Drummond with a point finished out the scoring. Here are some pictures from the game. This Friday 7th May, the minors are back in action, this time against Ardara in Father Tierney Park with a throw-in of 7pm.
The under 16s face Ardara away in the championship on Wednesday 12th May in what promises to be another mammoth battle after just a single point separated the two teams during their league clash.

On Bank Holiday Monday the sun shone brightly upon Father Tierney Park and Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh for the annually Seamus Grimes and Alan Ryan under 16 hurling tournament. The teams that took part were: Coolera / Strandhill, Lisbellaw, Saint Eunan's and Aodh Ruadh.
The Alan Ryan final was between Coolera / Strandhill and host club, Aodh Ruadh. The game started at a quick pace and both teams were evenly matched before the Sligo side's ability to score from long range enabled them to run out winner for the second year for a row.
The presentation took place in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh where Martin 'Kerry' Ryan on behalf of the Ryan and Grimes welcomed all teams to the annual tournament. John Rooney, Aodh Ruadh Juvenile Hurling Chairman, welcomed everyone to this tournament and thanked the Ryan and Grimes families for their support each year for this tournament. He spoke of the late Alan Ryan and Seamus Grimes and talked of their contributions to hurling in Aodh Ruadh.
Thanks to all who helped with the catering at the event and thanks also to Brian Drummond for his wonderful photography. See the full tournament report and Brian's photography.
The under 14s defeated Saint Eunan's last Thursday night to qualify for the county league final against Buncrana. No information on a date, time or venue yet.
On Saturday 1st May the under 14 hurlers travelled to Randalstown to take part in the Ulster Féile. They won all their game in a group that contained the hosts, Tir na nÓg Randalstown, Larne of Antrim, Pearse's of Antrim, Carryduff from Down and Naomh Cholmcille of Tyrone. That saw Aodh Ruadh qualify for the Ulster final in the Pearse Og grounds, Armagh City on May 15th. Well done to all the boys on a terrific days hurling.

This coming weekend is all about the championship. It starts off on Saturday, 15th May, with the visit of Glenfin to Father Tierney Park to take on Aodh Ruadh in the Junior B Championship Preliminary first Leg. That game throws in at 6.00pm. That is followed by visit of Saint Eunan's on Sunday 16th May. The Senior Reserve Championship clash gets under way at 1.30pm, while Jimmy White will throw the ball in between the Senior sides at 3pm. This is a huge weekend for the club, a big showing of local support is always important in these games and we would appeal to Ballyshannon to come out and show their support as their local heroes attempt to topple the county champions, not neglecting, of course, the reserves and thirds.
Malin hold the Indian sign over Aodh Ruadh and they demonstrated that last Saturday when a combination of poor refereeing and a series of catastrophic injuries put paid to any hopes of a reversal of fortunes. Ballyshannon went in 0-7 to 0-5 up after an excellent first half where they gave a good, solid workmanlike display. In the second half the effect of bad injuries to Brian Roper, Stephen Ward and Philip O'Reilly eventually told. Nevertheless Aodh Ruadh played some lovely football, particularly when the ball was with David Dolan. Dolan was unlucky not to get a winning goal in the closing stages, his shot coming back off the woodwork. Peter Boyle was also excellent between the posts. It was Malin who took the points in the end, though, chalking up an impressive 0-10 to 1-9 away win. Here are some pictures from the game.
The reserves were one of the few Aodh Ruadh sides to register a win last week. They pipped Malin by 1-11 to 2-7, thanks primarily to a dogged defensive effort. Ruairí Drummond, Ronan Drummond and Brian McGuinness all made life very difficult for their Inishowen opponents. Up front Diarmuid McInerney was in good form, while Anthony Boyle was the pick of the attackers, sealing a good day out with a well-taken goal. Have a look at some of the action.
An understrength third team gave a good account of themselves against Glenfin on a fine Sunday evening in Father Tierney Park. The homesters were about eight points down at half time, but there was a particularly strong performance in the second half. Two goals from Val Murray put Aodh Ruadh within a whisker of getting a result, but time beat them and Glenfin were one point winners on a score line of 2-10 to 2-11. Apart from Val there was also good displays from Niall Thomas and Conor Thomas and Matthew Thompson.
The minors league record now reads, lost one, won one and drew one after sharing the points with Ardara in Father Tierney Park last Friday. As has been their habit, Aodh Ruadh got off to a bad start, but they battled back well to earn a share of the points. Within ten minutes of the throw-in Aodh Ruadh had conceded two goals. However, the Ernesiders never-say-die spirit didn't allow Ardara to run away with the game. Conor Patton had a great battle in the middle of the pitch with his Ardara opposite number, while Ronan Drummond at centre half back was in the thick of things and made a big impact. Ruairí Drummond is in a serious run of form at the moment and he capped another fine display here with a goal, Aodh Ruadh's second goal being bundled home by Stephen Clarke. In the end it fell to Peter Boyle to kick a pressure free to tie the game up at 2-11 to 3-8 and earn Ballyshannon a share of the points. We have some photographs from the game. The next action for the minors is on Friday week when they travel to Killybegs in the league.
The under 16s face Ardara away in the championship quarter final, first leg this Wednesday 12th May. This promises to be another mammoth battle after just a single point separated the two teams during their recent league clash. We appeal for a big show of white and green to make the trip to Ardara and cheer our boys on in this big game.
Aodh Ruadh were defeated 2-6 to 2-2 by a much taller and stronger Saint Eunan's side in the county Féile final. In truth the score line doesn't reflect the Letterkenny side's dominance as Colm Kelly crashed home two goals from frees in the closing moments to put a gloss on the result for the Ernesiders. Still, the lads had a great run through the competition and the experience of a good Féile run will be valuable for the league which gets under way on 2nd June against Four Masters.
The under 13s earned themselves a good win away to Mountcharles on Monday evening. They beat Saint Naul's by 3-4 to 6-7 after a closely fought first half where only a goal separated the sides. Many of the best performances came in defence where there were outstanding displays by Conor Kennedy at full back, Cookie O'Halloran at half back and Brendan Gillespie at centre half. Once again Oisín Rooney and Oisín Roper gave a dominant exhibition of football in midfield. Up front Shane McGrath, Philip Patton, Terry Ward all goaled and did very well in general play, but Shane Dorrian and Nathan Boyle shone on the night. The next engagement for the under 13s is at home to Ardara on Monday, 17th May at 6.30pm.
The first under 10 blitz of the year takes place in Kilcar on Saturday 22nd May. The bus leaves the park at 9.30am sharp. Players should take a sensible packed lunch and dress appropriately for the weather conditions. A note will be issued to all players regarding details for this fixture.

Training for all under 6s and under 8s is outdoors in the school field at Colaiste Cholmcille this Saturday at 11am. Our game with Dromore will now take place on Saturday 22nd May at 12 noon in Dromore. The bus will leave Colaiste Cholmcille at 10.30am and we should be back at the same venue for 2.30pm. All parents and family members are welcome to attend and any wishing to go should follow the bus up to Dromore. The club is located outside Omagh. Only children aged 6, 7, or 8 may attend this blitz. The children are asked to bring a drink, rain jacket, snack, runners, boots, club socks and shorts. We hope that some members of the Tyrone team will be there on the day to act as referees so players may want to bring a pen and paper for autographs. A special well done to our players of the week Troy, Ryan, Daniel and Ryan.
The senior hurlers are out in the first round of the Secondary Hurling League this Wednesday 12th May. They take on Burt up in Father Tierney Park at 7.15pm.
Pride of place this week goes to our under 14 hurlers who for the second year in a row won the County A League title by defeating Buncrana in the final at O'Donnell Park, Letterkenny. The boys got off to a blistering start in a great all-round team effort and led at half time by 1-12 to 0-1. Buncrana, as expected, came back strongly in the second half, but our boys battled away and ran out winners on a score line of 1-16 to 2-3. This is another great achievement by this hard working team, winning back-to-back league titles a first for the club. Many thanks to all the supporters who travelled to Letterkenny and gave brilliant support to the team. A huge cavalcade through the town took place when the team came home followed by refreshments in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh. Many thanks to Karl Duggan for taking some shots of the historic occasion. The next assignment for this team is the Ulster Féile final in Armagh on Sunday against Gort na Mona of Belfast. Travel arrangements will be communicated during the week. The squad's hard work on and off the field was shown on Saturday when all the panel took part in a very successful bag packing fund raiser in Mace and many thanks have to Fred Ormston and all his staff for their help with this fundraiser. Many thanks to Ballyshannon Town Council for their very generous donation of €500 towards the Féile trip to Clare and to the ESB who donated €200. If any business wishes to make a donation to contribute to the cost of the trip, please contact John Rooney on 086-2587793.

The second annual Lá na gClub took place on Sunday. It started at 2pm in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh with three pitches in action for the underage hurler and footballers. After the boys and girls had finished their games it was over to the park where there was a wide range of activity including underage races, an obstacle course which was a big hit with all the kids, a football penalty shoot, parent and child piggy back races and the hurling penalty with John Rooney as one of the targets, sorry goalies. All-in-all another great days craic and you can get a flavour for the day from the photographs on aodhruadh.org, there are over 60 up.
There were votes of sympathy at the last Aodh Ruadh monthly club meeting for Patsy Garvan, Lisahully; Dinny McCullagh, Donegal Road; The father of Tom Ayres, Broadford, County Kildare; and Mariah Gallagher, Bishop Street.
There is a meeting of the club Finance Committee in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh at 9pm on Tuesday, 11th May. All committee members are asked to attend.

The scheme, which is entitled Cairde Aoidh Ruaidh, asks club members to sign up to donate the equivalent of €5 a week to the club in the form of a monthly direct debit. Presentations were made by Ryan Feeny of the Ulster Council and Club Secretary John Hughes on the merits of the scheme and how it works. Right now we are appealing to club members to get behind the scheme. It is essential for the club's financial welfare, which is in a precarious state. To get some information on the scheme you can download the brochure. This brochure also includes the standing order form for the scheme. If anyone needs any further information don't hesitate to contact us on info@aodhruadh.org or call 087-6431805.
The reserves might have down against Saint Eunan's in their first round, first leg game, but the 0-6 to 3-7 score line was a rather unfair reflection on what was a battling performance by the homesters. The game was very tight in the first half and only turned against Aodh Ruadh towards the end of the half. Firstly fortune deserted Aodh Ruadh as Fiachra McIntyre's fisted just went narrowly the wrong side of post. Then moments last Joe Watson was struck in the penalty area. The referee elected to ignore the penalty shout and from there in Aodh Ruadh were fighting a rearguard action. Best for Aodh Ruadh on the day were Simon Gillespie in at full back where he was ably assisted in his defensive duties by Ronan Drummond and Conor Patton. Up front Joe Watson never gave up and Fiachra McIntyre was an effective threat. We have some pictures from that game up.
The demoralizing weekend of championship action got off to a bizarre start on Saturday when the thirds were defeated by Glenfin on a score line of 4-8 to 3-13 in the Junior B championship. This was a game where Aodh Ruadh went in at the break leading by eight points after playing some very, good intelligent football with the aid of a slight breeze. However Aodh Ruadh just couldn't get going in the second half and everything Glenfin touched seemed to turn to gold. Brian Dorrian was the pick of the Aodh Ruadh defenders. In terms of attacking play David Downey had a very good shift and registered a goal, while the brothers Perry, Sean and Steven were also very active. Steven goaled in the first half and added a second in the dying moments of the game when a skyscraper of a shot from him bombed down through the hands of a static Glenfin goalkeeper and into the net. We have pictures from the encounter up.
The fixtures for the coming weekend see the thirds make the trip to Dunfanaghy on Saturday 22nd May to take on Saint Michael's. That game throws in at 6.30pm. Meanwhile the secondary league, intended to give players football while the county is in full swing, gets underway this Sunday, 23rd May when Aodh Ruadh host Naomh Bríd at 3.00pm in Father Tierney park.
The minors lost their penultimate game of the league away to Glenties by 2-11 to 1-7. It was a decent showing against a strong Naomh Conaill outfit. Defensively Ronan Drummond and Kieran Keown were both very effective. Ruairí Drummond at full forward was probably the pick of the attackers, while Niall Murray and Peter Boyle from placed ball both weighed in with scores. Boyle also set up James Kelly for the Aodh Ruadh goal. The minors will wrap up their league season with another away trip, this time to Killybegs on Friday 21st May, the throw in is at 7.30pm.
The under 16s made an almighty battle of it as they lost by 0-15 to 1-8 away to Ardara in the first round first leg of the championship. It was a good performance in general. Pauric Patton played out of his skin in the middle of the field. Meanwhile Kieran Keown was very solid at full back as was Matthew Gettins in the corner In the attack Fergal Meehan did well and was very creative. Johnny Gethins top scored in the scoring stakes with 1-4, closely followed by David McGurrin on four points while James Barron and James Kelly both chipped in with a point apiece. This result means they now have to win in Father Tierney park this Wednesday 19th May to force the tie to a play-off and going on their away performance that is something that eminently within their capacity. We appeal for a big show of white and green to make the trip to Ardara and cheer our boys on in this massive game. The game throws in at 7.30pm, don't miss it.
In a change from last week's notes the under 13s in action against Ardara this Tuesday, 18th May at 6pm in Father Tierney Park. The lads will conclude their season with an away game against Four Masters on Monday 24th May at 7.30pm.

The first under 10 blitz of the year takes place in Kilcar on Saturday 22nd May. The bus leaves the park at 9.30am sharp. Players should take a sensible packed lunch and dress appropriately for the weather conditions.
Please note that our under 8 blitz against Dromore has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Apologies for any confusion. Training will continue as normal next Saturday at 11am. Well done to this week's players of the week James, Nathan and Kyle.
The under 16s had a comprehensive victory over Knocks in the Fermanagh league in Father Tierney park on Sunday last. It was a good team performance and sets them up well in the Fermanagh league.
Congratulations to our under 14 hurlers who won their Féile Uladh final in the Pearse Og grounds, Armagh city. The boys played Gort na Mona of Belfast in the final. We began very nervously and the Belfast boys were well up for this final. We found ourselves behind 1-2 to no score after five minutes. Our boys began getting into the game and showing their determination and the work rate for which they are renowned and slowly clawed their way back and led at half time by 2-1 to 1-2. The Aodh Ruadh boys dominated the second half and played the hurling they are capable of and ran out worthy winners 3-8 to 1-2. It was a great occasion for our lads to play in front of the major hurling clubs of Ulster. The skill and never-say-die attitude of this team was commented on by many at the final. The success of this team has been achieved by four years of hard work. Many thanks to all the parents who met the Ulster champions on their return to Ballyshannon and took part in the cavalcade around the town. Check Eddie Lynch's shots of the final. The boys continue their fundraising for their trip to Clare for the All-Ireland Féile tournament this June by bag packing this Saturday in the Supervalu in Bundoran. Many thanks to Joan Roohan of JR's café, Ballyshannon Town Council and Brian McEniff of the Great Northern Hotel for their donations to the trip to Féile na Gael. We have a picture of the JR's café and Ballyshannon Town Council cheque presentation. The under 14s play Four Masters in the championship quarter final on Thursday in Donegal Town. Arrangements for this match will be finalized at training.
The under 12s began their season last Thursday with a win at home against MacCumhaill's in difficult conditions. We have some pictures from that game. On Sunday the under 12s travelled to Lisbellaw to play in the first round of the Fermanagh league. We put in a very poor overall team performance and lost the game 4-6 to 4-4. This panel will have to improve their work rate for the rest of the season and hopefully they will rise to the challenge.
The under 10s have a blitz this Sunday. Details will be supplied to players during the week.
A huge well done to Tara Khan and Dearbhaile McNeill who represented Aodh Ruadh on the Donegal Minor team that beat Down on Saturday by 3-11 to 1-5 in the Ulster Final. We have a full match report.

It was a young and experimental Aodh Ruadh senior team which took to the field for a young and experimental competition last Sunday. With a smattering of regular seniors lining up, there were a lot of new faces on show for the secondary senior football league derby against Naomh Bríd. They battled well against a hungrier Naomh Bríd side, Diarmuid McInerney palming in a goal palmed in after a good save from their keeper. However it was the Ballintra/Laghey boys that went away with the points after a 1-9 to 2-12 win in a sun splashed Father Tierney Park. We have some pictures from the game.
The thirds mounted a fantastic come back in the second half of their division five clash with Saint Michaels last Saturday to come away from Dunfanaghy with the points. They were seven points down, but a brilliant recovery saw them home on a score line of 3-6 to 3-10. There was goals from Steven Perry, Sean Perry and Christy Dolan. Christy and David Downey in the middle of the pitch were key to turning the game around, catching an ocean of ball. In the defence Gerard Ferguson had a fine game and helped keep the Ernesiders in the tie. That result puts Ballyshannon third in division five on eight points behind MacCumhaill's and Glenfin who are tied on 12 points.
The fixtures for the coming weekend see the seniors back in Secondary League Group A action this Saturday when they host MacCumhaill's in Father Tierney Park at 6.30pm. On Sunday 30th May the thirds are slated for division five action against Malin in Father Tierney park at 6pm.
The minors concluded their league programme with a fine 0-6 to 3-19 away win over Killybegs last Friday. It was a good overall performance with Peter Boyle at wing half forward, Ruairí Drummond, Ronan McGurrin and Alan Finan all shining for the Ernesiders. Aodh Ruadh were in control from the off and goals from Stephen Clarke, Ruairí Drummond and Peter Boyle helped Ballyshannon home in some comfort. After finishing third from six and won two, lost two and drawn one, this league has marked another step in the slow improvement of the clubs underage fortunes. The minors now have a break until 21st July when they take on Four Masters in Tir Chonaill park in the first round first leg of the minor championship.
Last Wednesday the under 16s of Aodh Ruadh and Ardara fought out a tempestuous championship contest in Father Tierney Park. Thankfully it was Ballyshannon who came away with a 2-10 to 1-12 win forcing the first round tie to a play-off game. Aodh Ruadh started the game very strongly, notching up 1-3 in the first 15 minutes. The goal came from a defence splitting ball by Johnny Gettins over the top which found James Kelly and he made no mistake when the chance presented itself. Thereafter however Ardara took over and hit 1-4 without reply to send the sides in at 1-3 to 1-5 at the break. Ardara picked up where the left off at half time, chipping over two points before Aodh Ruadh got a handle on things and pulled back the deficit back to two points. Ardara responded in kind and edged ahead with two further points to go four points up with ten minutes left. Then tide turned in dying moments of the match as Aodh Ruadh began to apply serious pressure. First off, David McGurrin pointed a free and then James Barron fired over a super score from play. Then, through serious hard work from the forwards, especially James Barron, Aodh Ruadh turned over a ball and it found its way to Ryan Granaghan. Ryan hit a ball over the top to James Kelly and once again he finished to the net to put the Ernesiders a point up with two minutes left. It was a fraught final couple of moments, but Ballyshannon held on to force the play-off. Defensively, Kieran Keown Marcus Harley and Darren Gettins all put in serious performances. In the centre of the pitch Pauric Patton and Eamon McGrath worked hard throughout. Up front David McGurrin and James Barron were the stand-out performers for the homesters. The play-off between Aodh Ruadh and Ardara in the under 16 championship has been set for Wednesday, 26th at 7.30pm in Dunkineely. The lads have really put everything in and the very least they deserve is a big show of support in Dunkineely this Wednesday. Make sure you get there and help roar our boys on.
There was mixed fortunes for the under 13 over the past week. Last Wednesday they had a great win over Ardara in Father Tierney Park. They got off to a horrendous start going down by 2-5 early on in the game before clawing themselves back into the tie to win by four points on a final score line of 4-11 to 3-10. It was a match where the attack really stepped up to the mark and Shane McGrath, Nathan Boyle and Philip Patton all delivered big performances. Elsewhere Oisín Rooney at midfield and Conor Kennedy at full back also made big contributions to turning the game around. On Monday evening Ballyshannon came out on the wrong end of the result with Four Masters winning by 4-7 to 3-6. It was nip and tuck throughout, but Four Masters just edged ahead in the final moments. Oisín Rooney did well when moved to full back where he got good assistance from Brendan Gillespie at wing back and Jason Granaghan at corner back. Up from Ryan Gallagher and Garret Sheerin never gave up and gave fighting displays. That game completes the under 13s league season, a season where they finished third, just outside the league final spots.
The under 12s travel to Ballintra on Saturday for a Go Games blitz with Naomh Bríd. The action gets under way there at 7pm.
The under 10s played Bundoran, Naomh Conaill and Kilcar at the blitz in Kilcar last Saturday and acquitted themselves very well. The team were happy with their day out and thank to Kilcar for their smooth organisation of the blitz.
Under 6 and under 6 training continues this Saturday at 11am in the school field. Well done to our player of the week Kyle McCafferty and to our gold star champions JJ, Oisín and James.
Well done Eddie Lynch and Colm Kelly who came second and fourth in the county Féile skills competition in Letterkenny on Sunday. Kieran Kelly also took part and did very well considering he is underage again next year. There's a picture of the lads on aodhruadh.org. We have a picture of the lads. Good luck to the under 14 hurlers who play Buncrana in the county championship semi-final in Father Tierney Park on Thursday at 7pm. All support is very welcome. Many thanks to Des Cosgrove, Colm Drummond and all the staff in Supervalu, Bundoran for being so helpful with our bag pack for the trip to Féile last Saturday.
The under 10s took part in a blitz at Saint Eunan's on Sunday past. We had two teams taking part and both did very well. On Monday evening they took part in the Community Games county final against Burt. They lost but, despite getting off to a slow start, they competed well throughout.
This Sunday we host an under 8 blitz. All players to be up at the park for 10am.
Any parent of any underage hurler who wishes to buy a subsidised helmet can contact any underage manager or John Rooney on 086-2587793.
The senior ladies suffered a heavy defeat to a strong Malin side on Sunday morning up in Inishowen, however they were playing without many of the team's key players who were unavailable due to exams. The ladies will commence their 2010 championship campaign next Saturday evening, 1st May, in Glencolmcille. The time hadn't been confirmed at time of mailing. A time will be posted on aodhruadh.org as soon as we hear of it.
The under 16s were defeated by Four Masters last week. In a very tight game they were unlucky to be beaten by the narrowest of margins. They have no game this week. Training will continue on Wednesday at 7pm and Friday at 4.30pm.
Well done to the under 14s who had a good win against Saint Naul's on Saturday. Their training takes place at 7pm on Wednesday evening.
This Saturday the under 12s will take part in the last Go Games blitz in Glenties at 2pm.
There will be a meeting of the Cairde Aoidh Ruaidh committee this Tuesday, 25th May, in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh at 8.30pm. As you may have heard, the club has launched their major fund raising initiative for 2010. The scheme, entitled Cairde Aoidh Ruaidh, asks club members to sign up and donate the equivalent of €5 a week to the club in the form of a monthly direct debit. We are appealing to club members to get behind the scheme. It is essential for the club's financial welfare, which is in a precarious state. To get some information on the scheme you can download the brochure. This brochure also includes the standing order form for the scheme. If anyone needs any further information don't hesitate to contact us on info@aodhruadh.org or call 087-6431805.
The last pub quiz of the season in Owen Roe's this weekend is in aid of Aodh Ruadh so we appeal for all club members, in whatever discipline or capacity to come out and support the quiz this week. It gets under way at 10pm in Owen Roe's with Sylvester Maguire doing his Magnus Magnusson impression and plenty of prizes on offer.
Bayview Primary Care Team Ballyshannon are hosting a mass CPR training event on Wednesday 26th May in Dorrian's Hotel from 7pm to 9pm. If you are interested in attending the Heartsaver CPR for Family and Friends' course, which is offered by the Community Resuscitation Service then please contact 071-985269 or 087-9682067 and give your name and details. Remember CPR can mean the difference between life and death and it is vital that as many people as possible get trained.

Will Bluegrass Family Health Insure Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment?
Nearly all Bluegrass Family Health insurance plans insure a great deal of or maybe your whole substance abuse rehabilitation costs. Plenty of medical plans insure 100% of the cost whilst others expect that you pay some money up front. Where you seek treatment might also determine your out of pocket expense.
For one, they are often too focused to get you into treatment that they don't do a great job in getting all of the benefits from your insurance policy. Secondly, if not verified appropriately, your insurance company can reject some services that are offered throughout rehab if they have not been approved ahead of time.
To prevent any kind of surprises, you'll want to get a crystal-clear snapshot of all the services the rehab facility will provide before going to rehab treatment.
Just about all treatment facilities will accept Bluegrass Family Health. But nonetheless ,, solely because a center meets the approval of your insurer it does not imply it really is worthy of choosing. However, finding a facility sincerely worth heading to isn't as simple as you may suspect.
To identify a substance abuse center all you need to do is head for the web. With a handful of key strokes you can find a large list of drug and alcohol treatment centers in any state. However ,, in addition it has its own shortcomings. They know real well that lots of people probably will make a final decision based on the material they come across on-line. Those 5 star reviews which you encounter online in fact may well be more like two or three star ratings. In case you decide on a treatment center based primarily on their reputation online then you certainly run the chance of deciding on the wrong one.
Q: Are both In-patient and/or Out-patient insured?
A: Bluegrass Family Health pays for both of these kinds of treatment options.
Q: Which Substances Are Covered by Bluegrass Family Health?
A: If you find yourself struggling with alcohol or drugs then your Bluegrass Family Health Insurance policy will usually cover rehabilitation charges.
Q: Will Bluegrass Family Health Cover Instate as well as Out-of-State Addiction programs?
A: It is rather uncommon for a Bluegrass Family Health policy to refuse either in-state or out of state treatment.
Q: Is treatment for co-occurring conditions paid for by insurance coverage?
Q: I want clinically administered detoxification. Will my plan cover it?
How Difficult Is It To Verify Bluegrass Family Health Addiction Treatment Benefits?
Anybody can validate rehab benefits. Phoning the phone number on your health insurance card and wanting to know how much your insurance policy will pay for is the straightforward part.
On the other hand, squeezing every single and every benefit you are qualified to receive from your insurance plan on your own can often be difficult. The probability is you lack all of the appropriate things to ask as you don't work for a rehab treatment center. Your insurance company will likely not just grant you all the details you need but don't know how to request.
They'd rather pay out a lot less than they need too. Not knowing many of the right questions to ask may possibly disqualify you from going to a first rate rehab facility.
To locate the most ideal treatment options we're going to first want to know about your addiction then, we are going to confirm your rehab treatment benefits and finally get you in touch with the substance abuse center that best suits the needs you have.
There is certainly under no circumstances a cost or obligation to use this specific service. We really wish for that you just conquer your addiction to alcohol or drugs and get your life on track once and for all. We aren't able to make your alcohol or drug dependence go away nonetheless we will take the anxiety out of finding the best treatment program.
Don't take chances. Let our qualified experts help you get the best results that you are qualified to receive and connect you with the most effective treatment center that will help beat your dependency to alcohol or drugs.
Let one of our experienced counselors verify Bluegrass Family Health benefits for you and connect you with the right rehab for your needs.

Jennifer Gavin Takes Archives To Space and Beyond
Community Profile August 2, 2016
"I absolutely needed the MARA degree to get into this field. You need experience, continuing education through certifications or some manner, and you need the degree in order to really become successful and get that dream job."
Jennifer Gavin
Associate Intern, NASA
MARA Student (Expected Graduation Fall 2016)
San José State University School of Information MARA student Jennifer Gavin's exciting internship with NASA.
Jennifer Gavin had just completed her Bachelor's degree in English and was frustrated by the lack of available jobs. She went online to USAjobs.com, the Federal government's official job list, and searched through every open position until she found one that intrigued her: the FBI was seeking someone to manage the destruction of documents and records. "I read the entire job description and thought it was amazing," she recalls. "I'd never even heard of archives! I didn't realize that there was a whole career about records management. I thought it was amazing that you could get paid to destroy records!"
Thus inspired, Gavin researched the field of archives and records management, found the iSchool and enrolled to start learning all about her new career of choice. "I basically tripped into it," Gavin admits. It was the best trip of her life.
How to Succeed in Archives and Records Management
Gavin entered the iSchool's Master of Archives and Record Administration (MARA) program in Spring 2014 and was soon engrossed in learning about the field. "I've gained an interest in information governance," she says, "which involves the security, privacy and categories of records management into one focus."
Then a guest speaker invited to talk to the school provided key information to allow Gavin to stand out in her chosen focus. "He said there were four certifications that someone could get to be in the top 1 percent of information governing professionals," Gavin explains. "I figured, why not me? It's something I have an interest in and I'm a firm believer in continuing education."
The certifications include:
Information Governance Professional (IGP) certification, for those who "help an organization leverage information for maximum value while reducing the costs and mitigating the risks associated with using and governing this important asset";
Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM), which delves into privacy program administration and how to "establish, maintain and manage a privacy program across all stages of its lifecycle";
Certified E-Discovery Specialist (CEDS), covering 15 e-discovery fields including information management and litigation readiness, data culling, legal framework and obligation, and ethics; and
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), for those who "manage, design, and oversee and assesses an enterprise's information security."
Gavin chose one randomly, CIPM, and started studying.
"The certification tells people how to structure privacy teams, develop and implement privacy framework, and goes into the privacy program operational life cycle – how to understand the entire thing," Gavin elaborates. "I could use this in the medical industry, banking, business-where there are international standards for each country's' privacy standards. Every organization would have to have an understanding of privacy, because there's always a need for privacy."
She passed the test, thanks in large part to the The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)'s textbooks, which she highly recommends. And she's now moving on to the next certification on her list.
Putting MARA to Work
In between school and exams, Gavin sought out an internship to put her newfound archives and records management skills to good use. Through the iSchool internship list she found an on-site experience working with NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and is now an associate intern at the Ames Research Center, located in the heart of Silicon Valley in Moffett Field, California. Ames research is crucial to NASA's space biology program: sending science payloads aboard shuttle and satellite flights, Ames seeks to help understand "the effects of high radiation and low gravity environments on humans in space."
Gavin, pictured right at Ames, works in the Life Science Data Archive, where, under the direction of a NASA archivist, also an iSchool alumna, she performs general background research on the subjects represented in boxes that were on the missions to space. "I survey the boxes, verify the content, identify the document types and formats, do any preservational requirements, physically arrange, rehouse materials, update box numbers and create a new order of the content, and reshelve everything," she explains.
"The items I'm working on are only accessible for researchers or scientists. There's a special online archive that they can search to find what they're looking for, and then they can put in a request and an archivist can help them obtain the information."
Gavin is assigned work by her two supervisors, provided with examples and then left alone to do the arranging. Was she nervous to jump into NASA's archives and just start working? Not at all.
"I think the [MARA] program helped me very well," she states. "I'm just getting used to the hands-on part. I was taught the theory, and now I'm applying it in the physical world."
Gavin has one more course to complete in Fall 2016, Information Governance, and plans on completing the corresponding IGP certification so she'll be that much more knowledgeable as she starts her job search. "Digital is the future and that's the area that I'm going to be focusing in for my continuing education," she says.
Gavin is "constantly looking for opportunities" in other space-technology facilities, and notes that many individual companies are starting to get into archives.
"I absolutely needed the MARA degree to get into this field," she affirms. "I've found that you can have the experience but that only takes you so far, and your degree and certifications only take you so far. You need experience, continuing education through certifications or some manner, and you need the degree in order to really become successful and get that dream job. All three are essential to grab someone's attention and become happy and content in your profession."

Q: Decreasing the fortran run time by extra optimization flags I have been trying to optimize my program for some time now. It has more than 100 subroutines. The optimization flags I have used so far with the Intel Fortran compiler are as follows.
Optimization flag Time of completion
-c                     0.190 hr
-O3                    0.185 hr
-fast                  0.155 hr

So, using the optimization flag "-fast" I was able to gain 18.42% speed. I was wondering are there any other optimization flag that I can try to make my program run even faster. Because right now, when I ran my program with just O2 flag for one of my problem, it took around 25 hours to finish. I really need to increase the computational efficiency.
I found the information about the "-fast" flag from https://support.scinet.utoronto.ca/wiki/images/7/77/Snug_techtalk_compiler.pdf
I am using the intel fortran 13.1 compiler in linux.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Jdbaba

A: You don't say which compiler you are using but imply Intel with your link. With Intel ifort you can try -parallel and obtain automatic parallelization.  Past some point the compiler will have done its best with your source code and further runtime decreases will require either improving bad coding decisions or algorithmic improvements, neither of which we have information from your question to offer specific suggestions.  "profiling" is identifying where your program spends its runtime.   There is no point in making subroutine A run ten times faster if the program only spends 1% of its runtime in subroutine A ... you will obtain very little overall improvement.  Better to work on the subroutines in which the program spends 80% or 50% or ... of its runtime.

2021 South Side Questions: Will T.J. Watt Miss Time With Groin Injury?
Posted on September 21, 2021 at 5:00 am
Question: Will T.J. Watt miss any time due to his groin injury?
We will inevitably hear from head coach Mike Tomlin today about outside linebacker T.J. Watt. We will likely not learn anything concrete about whether or not he will play in the Steelers' next time. He will probably use the phrase, "we'll let practice be our guide", or some variation of it, and maybe even throw in a "we'll leave the light on for him".
Watt, in his second game since signing a massive contract, and after recording his third sack of the season and second forced fumble, exited Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders with a groin injury. He would not return.
We have seen reported over the past 24 hours indicating that the team believes the injury is not serious, but what we don't know is whether or not it is insignificant enough that it would enable him to get back on the field immediately.
While the Steelers also have Alex Highsmith and Melvin Ingram at the outside linebacker position, they didn't give Watt $28 million per season because he can be replaced. His impact through the first six quarters of the season was readily apparent, as was the decline in the unit after his exit.
That makes it a big question as to whether or not he will be available. Outside of the regular-season finale last year, when he was rested intentionally, Watt has only missed one game in his professional career over the past four seasons.
