making sense of the breast cancer experience together
In Memory Of Jessie Gruman, Patient Advocate Extraordinaire
July 16, 2014 by Editor
Earlier today I was on one of my regular healthcare Twitter chats and I heard the news that the wonderful patient advocate Jessie Gruman has died. I was so shocked and deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Jessie was one of my first heroes of patient engagement and I often quoted her in my talks.
A three-time cancer survivor: at 20 she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, at 30 she developed cervical cancer, and at 50 she developed colon cancer, she used her personal and academic background to understand how people respond to serious illness. In 2007 she published AfterShock: What to Do When the Doctor Gives You — or Someone You Love — a Devastating Diagnosis.
Jessie was president and founder of the Center for Advancing Health, a nonpartisan, Washington-based policy institute which, since 1992, has been supported by foundations and individuals to work on people's engagement in their health care from the patient perspective.
She was a brilliant speaker and a cogent writer on the issues that effect patients and in her desire to see patients at the heart of healthcare. Last year I was honored to be asked by her to contribute to a Cancer Survivorship series on her website, and in my email interactions with her she was so kind and encouraging to me.
Jessie Gruman will be deeply missed as a compelling voice for the patient. We who mourn her passing will continue her work in her memory.

Hello Marie,
I too felt so saddened and shocked by this news. I surprised myself, in fact, by the depth of my sadness all morning as I kept reading all the fine tributes pouring in via social media. I'd never met Jessie in person, but she and I had talked over the phone at length and, like you, I've been quoting her wise words for years.
As I told Goldie at CFAH today, Jessie had been a survivor for so long, I guess I just expected she'd just keep on surviving anything. May she rest in peace at last.

Carolyn, you put into words just what I was thinking too. With the time difference I didn't hear the news until a few hours ago and it was in the middle of a twitter chat. I couldn't continue with the chat as I was so shocked and saddened. As you said, she was one of those stalwarts in life that you expect to be around for ever. A sad day for those who were closest to her and for those of us who admired her deeply. Thanks for taking the time to comment – I appreciate it very much.

dear Marie, I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend, Jessie, and will hold you and her family close to my heart to offer comfort. I know the kindness and encouragement she gifted you with will never be forgotten, and will surely be a generous addition to the legacy she left for us all.

Karen, you've been on my mind. I was going to email you and see how you are doing. In fact, I;ll go do that right away x

I'm so sorry for your loss, and that of the caner community, Marie.
Are you still away in the land of Oz? I'm headed back to Dublin in 2 weeks, myself.When you are back in Dublin, we must definitely catch up
Marie Ennis-O'Connor (@JBBC) on July 16, 2014 at 12:12 pm said:
Hello dear Chari, how lovely to hear from you again. I am still down under but returning to Dublin very soon. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!

Great post, Marie. I, too, was incredibly surprised and saddened to hear of Gruman's death. I somehow felt like I knew her; she was so accessible during a #BCSM tweet chat. I have her Aftershock book, and it is tremendous.
Marie on July 17, 2014 at 12:26 am said:
Thanks Beth for sharing your comment with us here. Jessie left a huge impression on those who knew her even at a distance
CFAH Staff on July 18, 2014 at 3:29 pm said:
Virginia Sloan, Jessie Gruman's sister-in-law, asked CFAH to share this note from Jessie's family:
Jessie's family is incredibly overwhelmed and honored by the outpouring of love, admiration, and grief following Jessie's death. Though we knew this was likely Jessie's last cancer, she and Richard, Jessie's husband, and my brother, fought so tenaciously for so very long.
A light has gone out in our family, and we greatly appreciate knowing that you share our devastation, shock, and loss. I'm sure you will hear more from us, but please know what a comfort it is to read all of these blogs, tweets, and other posts.

Q: Is this how to make an existing JavaScript asynchronous? Is making JavaScript asynchronous as simple as they make it out to be here? https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_script_async.asp
For example, if I have this in my HTML:
<script src="/whatever.js">

And I change it to this:
<script src="/whatever.js" async>

Does that really make it asynchronous? Is it really that easy?

A: No, the async attribute does not make your JavaScript code asynchronous. It only indicates to the browser to load the script asynchronously.
When you load a JS script without async, the parsing of HTML will stop, wait for the script to be downloaded, parsed and executed. After that, it will resume parsing HTML. This guarantees that if you load two scripts: 1.js and 2.js in that order, 2.js will be executed after 1.js.
When you set async attribute on <script> tag, it indicates that the script may be loaded asynchronously. In practice, it means that you can't make assumptions that your code will be executed in the order it was found in the HTML. After the file is downloaded, it will be executed as any other JS code.

A: It depends on what you want to be asynchronous.
That attribute tells the browser to execute the script without waiting for the page to be fully loaded, and in that sense making it asynchronous is that easy.
If, on the other hand, you want the script to execute something (a call to a service maybe) and update the page when the answer comes back, withouth blocking the page while waiting, then you will have to use some AJAX.

Teen schoolboy died after pupil threw cheese slice at him, inquest told
Karanbir Cheema, 13, was severely allergic to dairy products, wheat, gluten, egg and nuts
Peter Stubley
A 13 year-old boy with a severe dairy allergy died after another pupil flicked a piece of cheese at him at school, an inquest heard.
Karanbir Singh Cheema, known as Karan, suffered a serious reaction when the slice – described as half the size of a post-it note – hit him in the neck area.
The teenager was taken to the medical room at William Perkin Church of England High School in Greenford, west London, and given the drug piriton, an epipen and his inhaler but stopped breathing shortly after paramedics arrived.
Karan, described as "so bright he could have been anything he wanted", was taken to Great Ormond Street Hospital but died ten days later on 9 July 2017 with his family by his side.
The boy who threw the cheese, who is now 15 and cannot be named, apologised to Karan's parents at Poplar Coroners' Court and said: "I didn't mean any harm – I'm sorry , I'm sorry for what I did."
Giving evidence from behind a screen, he claimed he was unaware of Karan's dairy allergy – although he knew the teenager was allergic to bread because of a previous incident.

"Someone was eating a sandwich next to him and he asked them to move," he said. "I knew that he was allergic to bread but that's all I knew."
Asked by the coroner Mary Hassell if he knew what reaction someone could get from an allergy he said: "I thought maybe he would get a fever or a rash and miss school for a while ... I didn't know it could lead to death."
The inquest heard Karan was severely allergic to wheat, gluten, all dairy products, eggs and nuts. He was also asthmatic and suffered from atopic eczema.
Describing the incident at the school just before midday on 28 June 2017, the boy told the court: "I went to get lunch at the first break, I was with my friend and I was pretty hungry – I asked him for a piece of food.
"I saw he had a small, little piece of cheese – as a joke he handed it to me because I knew it wouldn't fill me up."
He then said he "flicked" the cheese at Karan from about a foot away. "With that small amount I went and I threw it a Karan - I didn't know he was allergic," he said.

"He was pretty close to me, he was the first person I saw ... he was facing away from me. I flicked it at him with the finger of my other hand.
"I think it landed on the left side of his neck. After that Karan just told me 'I'm allergic to cheese' – I apologised then after that."
Asked why he flicked the cheese, he said: "I don't know... we would play games with whatever we had, that being food".
The inquest heard the boy would throw food at other pupils "daily" and had thrown a banana skin at someone earlier that day.

After the incident the boy was called to see the principal, who asked him: "What have you done? You know what you have done to Karan?"
The boy told the inquest: "I was confused – they told me that Karan collapsed in the medical room and it was my fault."
It was suggested by Andrew Hogarth QC, the lawyer representing Karan's family, that there were differences between what he had told the inquest and the statement the boy made at the time.
The boy said in the statement he was feeling "hyper" at the time and added: "I thought it would be funny if I used the cheese for something, I threw it at one boy and then at Karan."

He told the inquest he was "under pressure at the time" and what he said today was the truth.
The boy's friend, who handed over the piece of cheese before it was thrown, told the inquest that he knew Karan had a dairy allergy but did not realise that included cheese.
He said that Karan had told him about the allergy when they first met two years earlier.
"I knew he was allergic to some things, dairy and pollen," he said. "At the time I didn't know dairy was cheese – milk and yoghurt, I would say that was dairy.
"I knew he probably had more (allergies), but I was only informed of the other ones."
Asked what he thought would happen as a result of the allergy, he said: "I thought he would get a rash or have a fever or something similar to that – I didn't know it was that serious."
He told the inquest that an the day of the incident he got a ham and cheese baguette during break time at around 11am and began eating it outside the cafeteria.
"I had nearly finished my baguette, (the other boy) asked if he could have a piece of cheese – I had a small piece of cheese left.
"I gave him all the remaining cheese and then I went to my other friends, I didn't see him after that during the break."
He denied claims that he told the other boy that Karan was allergic to cheese.
Andrew Hogarth QC, representing Karan's family, told him that this exchange was overheard by another pupil who gave a statement to police.
Mr Hogarth said: "He said he heard you telling him that Karan was allergic to cheese – did you tell him that?"
The boy replied: "No".
Support free-thinking journalism and attend Independent events
Karan's mother Rina Cheema, in a statement that was read out to the court, said her son was "diligent" about his allergies and skin condition and was in good health the morning he died.
She was called by the school that day and asked if they could give her son piriton because he had eaten something he was allergic to but was shortly afterwards told to come straight to the school.
When she was arrived at the hospital she was told by a consultant that he was unlikely that skin contact with a food could cause someone to go into anaphylactic shock.
Mrs Cheema said: "The consultant didn't think this was responsible- contact with the skin would not have caused this bad a reaction.
"In her 30 years in medicine she was confident that a child wouldn't have an anaphylactic reaction with something going down his neck."
The inquest, which is expected to last three days, continues.

The pageant formed one element of a fete in aid of the Scottish League of Pity. There was news coverage in the Scotsman.
Essentially this was a civic parade, but it had a historical element called the Pageant of Harlaw (recalling the famous battle).
This was a Girl Guides Pageant. It was written and directed by Molly Clavering who was also responsible for a Girl Guides pageant in the Borders.
There is little information about this pageant, which took place at an unusual time of year – early January. There was a very small amount of coverage in the local press.

Q: Creating circle in SurfaceView on button click android So essentially I am working on an app that creates a circle withing a SurfaceView. I want for a new circle to be generated inside the SurfaceView whenever pressing the "create" button. Each new circle would have a random speed, color, starting position along with a unique sequence number. It's easy enough to create a circle with a random color and starting position, but I was having some trouble getting the circle to draw only when I click on the create button. Whenever I try to create a circle within the create button listener it crashes. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.

First Oprah Winfrey Academy alumna at Rhodes University graduates with PhD
First Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls alumna, Lindiwe Tsope recently graduated with a PhD from Rhodes University.
By Lindeka Namba, School of Journalism and Media Studies student
The 2021 Rhodes University graduation ceremony marked a special day in Lindiwe Tsope's life and academic career, as she became the first Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) alumni to graduate with a PhD.
Tsope, who arrived at Rhodes University as a first-year student in 2013, completed her doctoral degree in 2020 in a research area that proved significant for the betterment of the Rhodes University community. In her PhD research, Tsope focused on the topic of "a narrative study of students' and staff's experiences of living with HIV and AIDS at Rhodes University".
Her research proved significant and was a conversation starter within the university community. The first of its kind at Rhodes University, the study looked into the lived experiences of both students and support staff living with HIV and AIDS at the University.
The research also served as important reference material for stakeholders such as peer educators and nurses, who wish to see genuine change and progress in the way HIV/AIDS is perceived and how it affects communities.
During the eight years she spent at the university, Tsope fulfilled several roles, including a tutor, mentor, teacher's assistant, lecturer, and honours supervisor. It was during her experience as a lecturer from 2018 to 2020, that she received her most valuable lessons. As part of her scholarship requirement, she taught a 'Social Research Methodology' class at the undergraduate level. "I did not know how I was going to be received, especially as a young black female," she said. Although it was a daunting and challenging task, she took the responsibility very seriously and tried to be as relatable as possible to the students.
The transition from student to tutor and eventually lecturer was an interesting one for Tsope. She admitted that some students were taken aback when they realised she would be their lecturer, as she seemed very young and not that far off from them in age. However, after a few classes, she won their respect. "As a lecturer, I felt like my life had come around full circle, as I was also once a student in the very same class I was now teaching," Tsope fondly recalled. She added that having the opportunity to teach alongside people she admired and who were her lecturers at some point was surreal and one of her best memories.
Tsope's journey to attaining her PhD was not an easy one. In the year 2020, which was her final year, she faced some serious challenges to her research due to the COVID-19 lockdown regulations, which left her limited in some areas. It was during this challenging time that she considered extending her degree by one more year. However, after much-needed support and encouragement from her peers and colleagues, she found the will to push herself and complete her journey within the designated time.
"I had people calling me and reminding me what a big deal my achievement is," she said. "It is the greatest thing I have done for myself literally."
She remembers how she was overcome with emotion upon receiving the news: "I cried for an hour when I received that last email that confirmed I had completed my qualification," she said.
Tsope credits her family members, peers, supervisors, and colleagues for being excellent support structures. She said their support was honest and unwavering.
"The level of support I received was from the ground up. I had people who believed in me so much, they started calling me 'Doc' even before I completed my qualification," she added.
Tsope also expressed her deep and heartfelt gratitude to her OWLAG family, with special thanks going to Ms. Oprah Winfrey, the "driver" of her dreams.
Tsope is an Old Rhodian through and through. She attained a bachelor's degree (honors) in psychology and sociology in 2015 and a master's degree in social sciences in 2017 from Rhodes University.


We have an absolute stunner of a real wedding on the blog today. It has been submitted to us from our friends at Adorn Invitations and I must say, it was so difficult choosing the photos to put in the blog, as they were all absolutely amazing!
The couple wed at the House of Laurels, the breathtakingly beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland, giving their special day that Old-World British feel they were dreaming of. Swords, capes, tiaras and a cute little dog in tartan were just some of the magical touches that brought to life the 'Royal Affair' theme the couple envisioned.
All Katie really wanted for her wedding was Elegance. The colour palette featured hints of the royal colours of dark blue, dark red and gold throughout. The bride had a bridal dress with sleeves in mind, but the moment she tried on her gorgeous lace gown, she knew she found the one. It looked elegant and made her looked like a queen, which was all she had hoped for!
How did you and your partner meet? At the birthday party of a mutual friend.
I initially wanted a completely different dress. I loved long lace sleeves and huge skirts. I didn't find a lot of dresses with long lace sleeves, so I ended up trying on pretty much anything, thinking I might be able to add sleeves. According to my bridesmaids, I could pull off any style or colour, which actually wasn't helpful! When the assistant brought out my dress I was skeptical…it was tight fitting and had no sleeves, but when I walked out and saw myself, I just knew it was right.
Ultimately, I wanted to look elegant and queen-like, and that's what the dress conveyed to me. My advice to brides is set your budget, find a bit of inspiration to get you started, but keep an open mind and just try on everything! It's not often you get free reign to try on wedding dresses, so enjoy and expect to be surprised.
What sort of style did you envision for your wedding day ?
We had quite a lot of speeches, and that was an important thing for us. However, this did cut into our dancing/chatting time quite a lot. If we could do it over, we'd extend our reception time so we had enough time to chat to all our guests and dance more! We'd also take a bit more time off before the wedding. We really had to rush around as we only had one day to get ourselves ready before driving up and I'd have preferred to relax a bit more.
Decide what aspects are important to you and your partner and spend your money on that and forget the rest. We did not have a cake, and spent very little on flowers, as we preferred to spend money our outfits and accessories and décor to make the day reflect our style. Social media can give you some great ideas, but don't get trapped thinking you have to have every aspect of a "traditional" wedding and replicate everything you see online and in magazines. Make it your own, that's what your guests will remember and that's what will make the day truly yours. Enjoy the planning as much as you can, and let people help you! If you have a few people like Mum's, bridesmaids etc. on the day who know what's going on, it will save you a lot of stress.
The day really does fly by, it isn't a cliché, so try to be in the moment and have as much ready as possible before the day, so you can just relax and enjoy it all!

Report on Postmodernism features in City of Glass by Auster (Book Report Sample)
The task was to write a book report making use of five sources and mla style to give a detailed report on the various POSTMODERNISM ASPECTS PRESENT IN LITERAL WORKS.
Postmodernism features in City of Glass by Auster
Postmodernism as a literary style emerged in America in the early 1960s. In its simplest description, postmodernism is a theory that implies after modernity. The definition of modernity excites many debates and controversies that are not the focus of this paper. However, an introductory description of the theory as it applies to literature and the world in general will help the reader understand the discourse taken by this paper. Notably, the evaluation of Paul Auster's City of Glass novel masterpiece will aid the reader to understand what postmodernism entails in the literature world. Paul'sCity of Glass novel has featured in many postmodernism reviews as the epitome of the style that symbolized the arrival of a new era in literary writing.
Development of Postmodernism
Postmodernism can be described as a movement away from the modernist view of the world. Contemporarily, the theory of postmodernism concerns itself with the conflicts inherent in objective truth and the accompanying suspicion toward meta-narrative. Believers in postmodernism tend to believe that possibly all realities are only social constructs that change according to place and time. Therefore, the human reason is considered the best approach to deciphering the truths about the physical and social conditions of the world. Consequently, postmodernism holds certain tenets ideal. These tenets include the role of language, motivation, and power relations. Imperatively, several approaches have been developed to be employed by fans of the postmodernism theory. First, language and textual content are considered the fundamental phenomena of existence. Secondly, majority of the worldly phenomena ought to be subjected to literary analysis. Third, reality and representation should be repeatedly questioned lest they become fallacies. Fourth, a critique of metanarratives is mandatory. Fifth, method and evaluations should be subject to argumentative discourse. Sixth, power and hegemony should undergo a strict analysis. Lastly, the Western institutions and knowledge should be routinely critiqued. Coincidentally, literature purporting to espouse postmodernism characteristically critique sharp societal classifications that include dichotomies such as white against black, male against female, and gay versus straight among others. These literary works emphasize that the apparent realities are plural and relative to the individual perceiving them. Notably, the interests of the individual will determine the reality that will manifest in their perception. Michael Foucault, a French philosopher, is considered one of the few modern philosophers that advocated the perpetuation of postmodernism in the society. His famous works included critiques of the contemporary world. According to Michael Foucault, the everyday engagement of people defines their identities and their systemization of knowledge. Therefore, human history is but many layers of subjective and the unconscious knowledge that people have opted to accept. Beneath the layers are assumptions and codes of order that create structures that exclude and legitimize episteme in the society. Consequently, the socially accepted "realities" that the society accepted as the absolute truth was control mechanisms to regulate social hierarchies and structures. Foucault's arguments asserted that social practice, rationality, and "bio power" are inseparable and determine each other. One of his most monumental arguments that was incorporated into the language styles used in the postmodernism movement in literature was that language is oppressive. In other words, Michael Foucault claims the use of language can be perverted to maintain the status quo. A typical example can include the use of language to render false or silent tendencies that might undermine the social hierarchies and structures. Interestingly, these social hierarchies and structures can pretend to be championing liberation, freedom, or valuing minority groups but their true intentions are provided a smoke screen by crafty use of language.
Thoughts such as those of Michael Foucault led writers fond of postmodernism to develop distinct writing styles that employ several literary devices. These literary devices include metafiction, pastiche, multiple identities, and the detective form of narration. All the literary devices mentioned tackle the conflicts regarding truth and identities. In particular, language as a tool that humanity uses to understand the world is questioned by these styles.
Metafiction is a literary device that authors use to create the "self-conscious fiction." Here, the characters and the narrative in the literature are full of several layers of reality and identity. The characters in a narrative often try to define their identity because the previous identities have been doubted. Therefore, the characters appropriate different identities as they attempt to find the truth about themselves.
Another prominent feature evident in the postmodernism literature is pastiche. This literary device allows authors to produce works of writing that are full of parts of the works of other authors or imitations of the style of other authors. For example, Paul Auster's City of Glass resembles a detective fiction in the initial stages yet a reader progressing further into the novel discovers that it is an anti-detective novel. In this case, the appearance of the novel as a "detective fiction" is because postmodernism has allowed Paul Auster to copy the styles of other authors who are experts in detective fictions. The concept of anti-detective fiction gets a suitable explanation from Ryan Bishop (2002). Ryan asserts that anti-detective fiction style questions reality by leading the reader to presume that the literature one is reading is a classical detective narrative that eventually concludes with an exposition of the truth. However, the reader realizes later in the course of reading many chapters of the literature that the exposition of the truth will remain a dream or fantasy. An analysis of the conceptualization, and development of detective fiction reveals a particular formula that has become familiar to the readers of these kinds of fictions. According to Lyotard (1984), the fixed formula of the detective fictions serves to bestow a level of legitimacy to particular societal institutions like the police and law enforcement agencies. A prominent style evident in detective fictions is the linear sequence and logical notion of narrative progression that guides the readers toward an anticipated end. Therefore, the narrative has to be meaningful to the reader if interest in the fiction is to be sustained.
On the contrary, the anti-detective fiction approach of the postmodernism literature subjects the reader into a critical analysis of the protagonist's activities in the narrative. Rather than believing the dominant character of the protagonist that is evident in the text and is related to the detective work, the author's use of different identities altersthe reader's perception of the protagonist. Every time the protagonist changes identity the reader acquires a different perception of the character and the events unfolding in the narrative. Elusiveness and complexity are the hallmarks of anti-detective fiction as the seemingly straight-forward protagonist on the path to uncovering universal truths becomes deceptive and mysteriously possess double identities. Anti-detective fiction always appears to want to prove one thing – reality is more complex than fiction. Unlike fiction where truths are imagined and held onto for the peace of mind of a person, reality is full of chaos, circumstances, and problems that cannot be solved. Because postmodernism holds the view that truths are relative to a person's beliefs, circumstances, and personality, the authors of anti-detective fiction avoid falling into the same trap that they criticize. Therefore, instead of providing the readers with a solution, the authors provide nothing by introducing the chaos and confusion that is inherent in the real world. Therefore, the readers are leftalone to challenge their worldview according to the changing identities of the protagonists and the characters in the narrative. Consequently, it is the reader's discretion to decide which identity of the characters in the narratives will be accepted as the truth. Conclusively, the goal of postmodernism in employing metafiction and pistachio is to upset the societal truths. Although these concepts might seem novel to a reader unfamiliar with how postmodernism authors apply them, an examination of Paul Auster' City of Glass will provide adequate and appropriate examples.
How the City of Glass represents postmodernism literature
Paul Auster's first novel happens to be the City of Glass that was first published in the year 1985. The novel was received with many criticisms that lauded the novel's exceptional use of the concept of postmodernism to refine the literary world. Subsequently, the novel has been translated intoseventeen different languages in addition to being number one choice in teaching postmodernism in schools all over the world. Paul Auster's The New Trilogy is the author's compilation of three novels that are considered the best. The New Trilogy includes the City of Glass as the introductory novel. The uniqueness of theCity of Glass is evident in the novel's complex use of the cityscape to subtly provoke the reader to perform the deciphering of the city's objects that function as linguistic codes. This novel has all the characteristics of postmodernism with all the literary devices like the pastiche, intertextuality, parody, irony, temporal distortions, and l...

College Football Week 1 Recap
September 4, 2018 wingspansports Andrew Kalb, NCAA Football, Uncategorized Leave a comment
After waiting long and hard for college football, it is officially back and week 1 was just a preview of what crazy things are going to happen throughout the season but here is some highlights and takeaways from some of the top games this weekend.
#21 UCF 56, UCONN 17
The rivalry that isn't even a rivalry, the civil conflict game. One name to take away from this game is Mckenzie Milton. Milton had an amazing game with 346 passing yards and 5 touchdowns. UCF shows everyone why they believe they are the National Champions of last year and runs over UCONN.
Northwestern 31, Purdue 17
Northwestern pulls out a win in West Lafayette in an early season B1G TEN matchup. A true freshman named Rondale Moore put on a heisman like performance. Yes I know he will not win the heisman but it is still fun to overreact to big early season performances. Moore had 79 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 109 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown.
Texas A&M 59, Northwestern St. 7
Jimbo Fishers first game as head coach of the Aggies was a big win and although this game may not mean much to either team since the outcome was as expected. Also this game may have a HUGE impact on next weeks game. Clemson travels to College Station to take on the 12th man in Texas A&M and after winning by 50+ point the Aggies are coming off a hot performance so an upset in College Station next week would not be a surprise to me. Also to add to the Aggies dominant performance against Northwestern St. running back Trayveon Williams from Texas A&M had 20 carries, 240 yards and 3 touchdowns.
#4 Wisconsin 34 , Western Kentucky 3
The Badgers put a beating on the former boca raton bowl champions holding them to only 3 points. A HUGE performance out of running back Jonathan Taylor making a early heisman resume with 2 touchdowns and 145 rushing yards.
#13 Stanford 31 , San Diego St. 10
Bryce Love of Stanford was the early heisman favorite coming into this year but things may have changed after this performance. Love put on an extremely underwhelming performance with 18 carries and only 28 rushing yards. Hopefully Love can bounce back in his next few games.
#11 Michigan St. 38, Utah St. 31
This was the best game of friday night and it really should not have been. Quarterback Jordan Love from Utah State almost pulled off what would have been the biggest upset of the night. Michigan State did not think Utah St. had any chance of competing against them but they were very wrong. If it wasn't for a late lucky play by Michigan State Utah would have won that game.
Saturday, September 1 (the day we've all been waiting for)
#5 Ohio State 77 ,Oregon St. 31
Even without Urban Meyer Ohio State still won this game with no problem. The Buckeyes look like they will still be a serious contender in the B1G TEN and for the national championship even without Meyer for the first 3 games. After a long weather delay and a few big plays from Oregon St. the Buckeyes still come out on top putting up a huge game scoring 77 points. Ohio State still did let up 31 point so they may want to work on their defense this week.
#7 Oklahoma 63 , FAU 14
This game was not as close as I expected with Oklahoma putting a beating on FAU. Kyler Murray looks to be very similar to the man he is replacing in Baker Mayfield. Murray had 209 yards and 2 touchdowns in a dominating performance by Oklahoma as a whole against the FAU Owls.
#9 Auburn 21, #6 Washington 16
This was a great game between 2 top 10 teams and possibly the game of the year when you take playoff implications into hand and although i don't fully believe Washington is as good as everyone says they are, I still think they are an above average team even. This was an overall great game and both defenses showed how strong they are even though neither team could hit field goals it was still an amazing way to kickoff the season.
#10 Penn State 45 , Appalachian State 38
This game was MUCH closer than everyone expected with the game going into overtime at 38-38 but Penn state still manages to come out with a win but one thing to take away from this is big programs should no longer schedule Appalachian State for out of conference games.
#17 West Virginia 40 , Tennessee 14
As expected West Virginia comes out with a win and Will Grier put up some big offensive numbers. The Mountaineers put a beating on Tennessee in Morgantown and i would expect more high scoring games from the Mountaineers in weeks to come.
#12 Notre Dame 24, #14 Michigan 17
The college gameday game of the week and a disappointing start for Michigan. The Wolverines played a terrible game and still only lost by 7 points. This win means a lot for Notre Dame and with Michigan losing they are going to have to run the table if they want to make the playoffs.
#1 Alabama 51, Louisville 14
Just as we thought Alabama puts a beating on Louisville with Tua leading the Tide. Both quarterbacks from Alabama did play but it is clear that Tua is the starter and far superior to Jalen Hurts.
#25 LSU 33,#8 Miami 17
The only game on sunday and it did not disappoint. The LSU Tigers put on a show in Texas and the U looks to NOT be back. Going into the 4th quarter the Tigers held Miami to only 3 points, this LSU teams looks legit so watch out for them to make a run this year.
#20 Virginia Tech 24, #19 Florida State 3
After a disappointing season last year the Florida State Seminoles looked to make a statement against the Hokies and to simply put it, the Seminoles did not impress. The Hokies only let up 3 points the whole game while Florida State's offense couldn't get anything going for them. Virginia Tech's defense looks to be legit only allowing 94 rush yards, 3 interceptions, 5 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and 10+ tackles for a loss.

We started one holiday tradition just last year, kind of by accident. We were going to bake and deliver cookies to the girl scout that Ellie was Secret Santa-ing (Saba). By the time we got them done and wrapped, it was past 8, and we thought it was too late to go in. So we placed the cookies on her porch, rang the doorbell and ran. When they answered the door, we honked and peeled out in the Mini, our lit snowman blinking in the window.
It was so much fun we began doing it to other friends, too: an aggressive taunt with the Mini screeching away, horn blaring, but all in the service of delivering warm chocolate chip cookies.
We found ourselves doing it again this year, along with the traditional soundtrack: Nelly's "Only Just a Dream," sung with our own holiday lyrics, "It was Just a Christmas Dream."


Camden, New Jersey: South Camden Theatre Company's Board of Directors is pleased to announce the Camden Resident Ticketing Program. This program provides Camden residents the opportunity to attend SCTC performances at the Waterfront South Theatre at the discounted rate of $5.00 per ticket. This program gives Camden residents a chance to attend live theatre at an affordable ticket price.
Theatre company partnerships are making this ticketing option possible for all of 2018.
Two South Jersey corporations have partnered with SCTC to support a marketing effort to Camden residents and to subsidize the reduced ticketing cost. The Holman Automotive organization provided funding to be used for marketing. This allows the theatre company to send post cards, promote to residents on Facebook and to spend time collaborating with Camden groups to help get the word out to residents. Subaru of America has partnered with us to subsidize the difference of the ticket cost from the general admission price of $20.
South Camden Theatre Company is in it's 13th season producing plays in Camden. In 2010 we moved into the beautiful Waterfront South Theatre that was built by The Heart of Camden and The Domenica Foundation. "Getting the word out that great theatre is happening in Camden has been an ongoing effort of the Board of Trustees," states Robert Bingaman, Board President.
The Waterfront South Theatre is a new (in 2010) 99 seat intimate theatre built by the Domenica Foundation and the Heart of Camden under the direction of Sacred Heart Church and Father Michael Doyle to help bring art back to Camden. Our intimate theatre allows audience members the opportunity to be "close" to the action as no seat is more than 30 feet from the stage. The theatre is located on Jasper Street, across the street from the Sacred Heart elementary school. The address is 400 Jasper Street, Camden, NJ 08104.
Funding for the Camden Resident Ticketing program provided in part by Holman Corporation and Subaru of America. Additional funding has been made possible in part by the Camden County Cultural & Heritage Commission at Camden County College, through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
The upcoming play: The Savannah Sipping Society is a laugh-a-minute comedy where four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by fate and an impromptu happy hour. Join them as they decide it's high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they've lost through the years. The Savannah Sipping Society is directed by Randall McCann and assistant director, Brad Reiter.

What They Do: The Pace Food and Beverage Law Clinic is the flagship program of the Pace-NRDC Food Law Initiative, a collaboration between the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). With faculty supervision, Pace law students in the Clinic provide legal representation to small farms, food and beverage entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations. The Clinic's legal services help clients expand access to local, healthy food in underserved communities, start or expand mission-driven business ventures, steward the preservation and transitioning of farmland for future generations of farmers, and implement innovative and sustainable production, processing, and distribution practices. Areas of legal services include new business formation and legal structure; tax exemption for nonprofit organizations; reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts including leases, financing agreements, and other documents; regulatory advice, including that relating to food safety, labeling and marketing, and land use; and other transactional legal matters.
How They Do It: The Food and Beverage Law Clinic is part of John Jay Legal Services, Inc., a nonprofit legal services organization within Pace University.

For a non-profit organization, the organization and project must satisfy the Association of Pro Bono Counsel's "mission, matter, means" eligibility criteria. Clients are accepted on a rolling basis, but new projects typically start at the beginning of the Pace school semester.
