'Crazy for You' at Rockville Musical Theatre by Bev Fleisher
Bev Fleisher
What a delight! For me, musical theater is pure escapism: I can be entertained, tap my foot to the music, and sometimes even sing along with the cast (softly, of course). I leave the theater with a jaunty jingle in my head and a skip in my step. It is also comfort food for my soul. The Rockville Musical Theatre's (RMT) production of Crazy for You provided all of that — and more.
Crazy for You is, in essence, the standard boy meets girl, boy loses girl, then boy and girl end up living happily every after. When Crazy for You burst onto Broadway in 1992, the book by Ken Ludwig came alive with the music of George and Ira Gershwin. Some of the songs were reprisals of Gershwin's 1930 musical, Girl Crazy, some were composed for this particular production, and others were adaptations of songs from other popular Gershwin musicals.

The stage (with scenic design by Bill Brown and Daniel Tobiassen) first felt barren. Upstage from a stylized backdrop of Times Square sat one door, the entrance to the offices of The Zangler Follies. The setting proved to be a most appropriate backdrop for a rather bleak situation: Bobby's (Ian Brown-Gorrell) haughty mother (Victoria Winter) and her minions commanded him to go to Dead Rock, Nevada to repossess a theater; his fiance of five years, Irene (Stephanie Miller), petulantly insisted that he stay in New York, and; he was once again rejected by Bela Zangler (Brad Carnes-Stein) who, unimpressed by Bobby's dancing, again rejected him from The Zangler Follies.
Bobby's destination, Dead Rock, was brought to life by the scenic design and its implementation by the master carpenter, Daniel Tobiassen, Scenic Artist Betsy Welch and their respective build and paint crews Each setting felt natural. Why, of course a cowboy trio belonged in a wheelbarrow out side of Lank's Bar.Turn the structure around and a rowdy fight could take place inside the bar. The theater was appropriately shabby without being cliche. Despite appearing quite substantial, the buildings and props were repositioned with nary a break in the forward movement of the plot. The lighting, designed by Noam Lautman, was especially effective in accenting the changes in mood in Dead Rock when fantasy was crushingly tossed aside by the truth.
Every member of the cast provided something special; I can't think of one who could be spared. Ian Brown-Gorrell (Bobby), was a wonder to watch. He was at his best when he transformed from a hen-pecked wimp into his farcical false identity of Bela Zangler, the owner of the Zangler Follies in New York. His performance as Zangler was so spot-on that I had to check my program to make sure it was, indeed, Brown-Gorrell playing the part. Throughout, his pratfalls and comic timing were impeccable and he could probably tap his way around the world without missing a beat.
Laura Gepford (Polly), showed her tremendous vocal range, comfort on stage, and ability to connect with the audience throughout the evening. Both her pure voice and demeaner made her a most believable character. Her rendition of "Someone to Watch over Me" ached with despair. "I Got Rhythm," performed by Polly and the chorus, was an uplifting end to the first act. Gepford continued her strong character development, singing, and dancing throughout the second act where she had few opportunities to perform unaccompanied.
Given that we're talking about musical theater, kudos are due to both Sound Designer Sam Horwich and Musical Direction Stuart Weich. The orchestra supported but never overwhelmed any of the singing. This was particularly well done during the solo performances by Bobby and Polly.
The Follies Girls were a vision of mid-century perfection, aided by costumes designed by Tina Weich, sassy attitudes and synchronized tap. The costumes were designed to make each of "the girls" look hot despite their varying physical appearances I particularly liked their second act patriotic-themed Follies costuming. Their performance in the second act, both as individual actors and as a group, provided many light moments One standout was Andrea Burmeister, who played the ultra-sassy role of Mitzi. She effectively separated "sassy" from "sexy" when called for. he rest of "The Follies" girls matched Burmeister in zest and dancing ability.
Perhaps the funniest scene occurred when the real Mr. Bela Zangler (Brad Carnes-Stein) and the fake one (Ian Brown-Gorrell) end up in Dead Rock at the same time. They perform a lengthy mirror scene when Bobby is trying to avoid recognition as a fake Zangler. Sitting facing each other across a small table, Bobby mirrored every facial expression and subtle movement of Zangler. This is a difficult feat even when well-rehearsed.
The Cowboy Trio of Moose (Michael Yesenko), MIngo (Alden Michels), and Sam (Eric Yeh) provided verbal and sight gags that delighted the audience. Naturally, they would make their first appearance singing "Bindin' My Time" early in the first act while lazily hanging out in a wheelbarrow in front of the Lank's Bar in Dead Rock. They provoked outbursts of laughter but were also able to blend with the rest of the cast when needed. I particularly liked them in the second act song, "Naughty Baby," performed with Irene and the bar owner, Lank (Jeff Breslow).
The English couple (Liz Weber and Jack Stein) perfectly overplayed their role as adventurers working on a guidebook of the wild west and very surprised to find themselves in the middle of worries over a theater in Dead Rock. While looking for the luxuries of home, they maintained their stalwart constitutions and energy in pursuing their mission of exploring the west. The audience laughed whenever they appeared.
The actors were well supported by the production staff. The choreography by Duane Monahan felt fresh and new; quite a feat for a show that has been performed countless times around the world. The choreography in the scene dominated by "Naughty Baby," and that of Bobby and the Follies Girls with "Nice Work if You Can Get It" added mightily to their impact. I loved the costumes designed by Tina Weich. They accented each actor's role and station in life. Though a problem for some community theaters, nothing here seemed repurposed from a previous production.
The whole package of Crazy for You, produced by James Eustice and beautifully directed by Chad Wheeler, and wonderfully executed by every participant, is a treat not to be missed.
Running Time: Two and one-half hours, plus one intermission.
Crazy for You plays through July 28, 2013 at Rockville Musical Theatre at The F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre – 603 Edmonston Drive, in Rockville, MD. Tickets can be purchased by calling (240) 314-8690.

2019 Capital Fringe Review: 'All for the Union'


Washing or maintaining your car has an impact to the environment. Fortunately, there are some preventive maintenance steps every car owner can take in order to make sure that their vehicle is as environmentally friendly as possible.
While driving to work or home, you might want to consider some of the actions listed below and help protect the environment.
While driving your car, you have to understand that the way you drive has something to do with fuel economy. Jerky and aggressive driving may increase wear and tear on your vehicle and decrease your miles per gallon (MPG). Avoid sudden stops and starts and observe speed limit.
When washing your car on the driveway or street, soap, tire dust and oil along with other chemical residue build up goes down the drain and flow into nearby streams or rivers. The water from commercial car wash, on the other hand, flows into the sanitary sewer system. Here, they make sure that the water is treated by waste water treatment plants before entering the local waterway.
Checking your car's gas caps is important. This is because a damaged, loose or missing gas cap may indicate that gas is evaporating, wasting money and harming the environment.
A vehicle may have 4, 6 or 8 spark plugs. These spark plugs may fire as much as 3 million times every 1,000 miles; thus, resulting to heat, chemical and electrical erosion. Additionally, a dirty spark plug may cause misfiring, which in turn may result to fuel wastage.
If you are just sitting there while the engine is running, then you are choking the planet. Idling your car for as little as 20 seconds could emit more CO2 and burn more gas compared to turning the engine off and turning it on again once you're ready to drive.
If you are stuck in traffic, we suggest shifting to neutral. Over the course of a year, you'll be surprised at how much less CO2 shall be emitted.

Leicester City FC Appoint Legends International
via The Stadium Business
Legends International has been appointed by Leicester City to carry out "crucial" market research that will underpin plans for the proposed expansion of the English Premier League football club's King Power Stadium.
The research process will establish a better understanding of supporters' matchday routines and preferences, which will in turn assist the club in planning the development of fan-orientated facilities and services to enhance the experience for visitors.
The work will commence with supporter and consumer studies in the coming days, the club said. The multi-staged study will include all current season ticket-holders, combined with "focused market testing" to gauge interest in other possible offerings.
The club, which has upgraded its stadium lighting ahead of the start of the 2019-20 season this weekend, has long-held ambitions to increase the capacity of the 32,300-seat stadium.
"Comprehensive market research is an essential element of any development of this scale to ensure all decisions are supported by robust feedback and analysis," the club's chief executive, Susan Whelan, said. "We are delighted that process will now commence and will be led by the experience and expertise of Legends International.
"Rather than simply increasing capacity, our aim is to transform King Power Stadium into a world-class sporting and events destination, opening a range of options, now being explored as part of our longer-term development.
"Supporter and stakeholder insights will help us to sharpen our focus based on meaningful intelligence and will ensure that we deliver the best facilities for our fans, and for the city of Leicester."
Legends' sporting and events portfolio includes work commissioned by some of the biggest brands and most famous venues in the world.

Little guys You should remember Chris Whitehead. Check out this story on courierpress.com: https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/blogs/usi/2015/11/15/little-guys/87426594/
Evansville Courier & Press Published 9:50 p.m. CT Nov. 15, 2015
You should remember Chris Whitehead. He was the 5-foot-8 guard for Bellarmine last season who lit up the USI men's basketball team for 25 points last January during the Knights' 83-70 victory at the PAC. He mostly ran right through the Eagles' defense for layups.
Well, something similar happened again on Saturday. Lake Superior State's Akaemji Williams, another 5-8 guard, piled up 24 points against USI -- 17 coming in the first half -- during Lake Superior State's 91-73 win over the Eagles in the final round of the C2 Vegas Showdown. Williams did much the same thing that Whitehead did while also passing out six assists.
What this means, I can't say exactly, except that it can't be good that the Eagles have trouble stopping quick, small men from getting to the basket. That has something to do with being unable to close off driving lanes. Or is it something else?
"Our ball-screen defense has got to get better," said USI coach Rodney Watson.
It's still early. There's still time to shut down that embarrassment. Isn't there?

49ers Desperate for playmaker at defensive end
By Sydney Mayhew
The salary cap strangulation has made San Francisco a team desperate to find a pass rushing specialist as production from the defensive ends has been anything but glamorous, we continue to struggle in finding a legitimate threat at this position.
Defense has been the hallmark of our vulnerability all season the need to establish a big time playmaker at the end position has not gone as planned. In the 2000 NFL Draft we identified the areas of need and brought in First round pick linebacker Julian Peterson and Second round pick defensive end John Engelberger both have made huge strides in their overall development and are a foundation in which to build on.
The 49er's started the 2000 season in an uneasy situation being very thin in all depth areas and having to start as many as five rookies on defense in most games throughout the season was a definite challenge.
Young, raw rookie talent was what we had to turn to in an era when the thought of having high priced free agents to man every defensive position was a ideal of the past due to the inflation of individuals salaries the salary cap has turned that into an after-thought.
To have a better understanding of what happened to our young defense in 2000 all you need to do is turn back to the very first six games, the 49er's surrendered 193 points, 2,472 total yards, 1,773 passing yards, 699 rushing yards and totaled only seven sacks.
This was the reality when you are forced to break in so many rookies all at once. However the true mentality to this madness was the undeniable need for these rookies to play and gain enough experience for them to play at a higher standard later on into the season and beyond.
Over the final six games of the season, the defense showed remarkable improvement in every phase of their game plan as they allowed a total of 99 points, 1,656 total yards, 1,050 passing yards, 606 rushing yards and posted 20 sacks.
The astonishing turnaround was a result of rookies all coming together and establishing the lines of communication and teamwork needed to obtain a positive and practical outcome. Defensive Ends in the NFL are the fear masters in the league as they are supposed to put the fear of God into every quarterback that drops back or decides to run the ball because they realize they will be punished in one form or another physically.
2000, 2nd Round Draft Pick John Engelberger from Virginia Tech was the most productive defensive end this season in his debut outing, I was most impressed with his ability to always be around the ball in play in every aspect of the game. He shows intensity and quickness as well as strength, he stands 6-4 and weighs 260 pounds.
John had 28 tackles and three sacks on the season starting 13 out of 16 games, his continued development is crucial to solidifying at least one end on the line and eventually becoming a playmaker.
I have great confidence that John has that capability he shows enough flash on every play that his reads and stance will only mature into that of a seasoned defensive end, one we should believe will be there for a long time to come.
At Virginia Tech he started 32-of-43 games in his career; Finished his career with 253 tackles (153 solo), including 25 tackles for a loss; also added 26.5 career sacks for 187 yards. He is credited with 57 career quarterback pressures, has great strength with 440-pound bench press to show for it.
In all John seems to be a perfect fit in the overall defensive system, I look forward to observing him play in his second-year and believe he will be a bigger factor with 13 games to his credit last season.
Anthony Pleasant former New York Jet was signed last year as an unrestricted free agent, although he started every game last season as the left defensive end he never really broke out as the terrorizing pass rush specialist we had been seeking.
His tackling fundamentals were sound but his speed and agility to get in the quarterbacks face was almost nonexistent, and this is precisely what the 49er's are in dire need of to cross over the line into an above-average defense.
Pleasant registered just two sacks as a 49er in 2000 he is a veteran defensive end and proven tackler, he is a ten-year veteran starting all 32 games in last two seasons with the New York Jets. He is a reliable run stopper and explosive pass rusher; overall he has recorded 46 sacks including a career-high 11 with Cleveland.
Anthony originally from Tennessee State stands 6-5 and weighs 272 pounds, he was originally drafted by Cleveland Browns in the 1990 NFL Draft in the third round.
But where was that awesome explosion and sack total in 2000? Certainly it should have been more defined than it was observed, I was disturbed knowing his credentials when he was acquired and not seeing it displayed on the field.
San Francisco attempted again to reach for a defensive end in the 2000 Draft after picking John Engelberger in the second round by drafting Lenoir-Rhyme's premier defensive end John Milem in the fifth round of the draft. This was clear indication of their disappointment with 1999 draft acquisition Chike Okeafor.
John stands 6-7 and weighs 290 pounds he is quick, and a strong pass rusher with exceptional hands. He has the power to get inside and rush the passer; he has great footwork and acceleration to slip blockers.
But where was Milem when it came to getting in the quarterback's face last season? We certainly did not see too much he played in a total of 145 plays and was involved in every game last season. The jury is still out on this one in my estimation, was he a far reach from a little known school? He might have been we will have to wait and see what a second-year will bring us.
With Lenoir-Rhyme he started 19-of-22 games, he recorded 84 tackles (56 solo) and had 16 sacks for a loss of 132-yards. The underlying question will remain on his playmaking techniques and his ability to mature after being in a NFL season stretching over 20 games including pre-season.
Then we have the biggest bust of them all in the 1999 NFL Draft San Francisco reached for Purdue's very own defensive end Chike Okeafor in the third round, and we have been overly disappointed ever since.
He comes in as a physically impressive athlete with quickness and strength. He was timed 4.64 in 40-yard dash. He has played both linebacker positions at inside and outside and defensive end during his career. Durable he never missed a game while with Purdue due to injury. It seems he saved all that lost time for us after being drafted.
Okeafor stands at 6-4 and weighs 248 pounds, some consider him too light in some aspects and does not have the ability to shed 300-pound blockers in his pass-rush to the quarterback. He registered only two sacks this season and in my opinion is suspect to any further improvement with the history he has demonstrated so far. Being his third year he must make it or break it now and remain healthy at the same time.
Let's meet the coach.
Dwaine Board used to be one of San Francisco's all-time sack leaders; he is now in his 11th season with the team. His sixth year as a defensive line coach. Board spent four years as the team's defensive line assistant, working primarily with the team's nickel defense and the "elephant" spot, a combination lineman-linebacker, prior to his promotion in February of 94.
Dwaine was a member of three world championship 49er teams; Board recorded 61 career sacks from 1979-88 (plus eight in postseason). His four tackles, two sacks and constant pressure in Super Bowl XIX, earned him Defensive Player-of-the-Game honors in San Francisco's 38-16 win over Miami.
Under his direction and teachings, the 1998 defensive unit recorded 51.0 sacks to rank second in the NFL. Individual performances included Chris Doleman who tied for second in the National Football Conference and third in the NFL with 15.0 sacks. In 1997 Board was a defining factor in developing the NFL's Defensive -Player-of-the-Year in Dana Stubblefield, who led the team with a career high 15.0 sacks.
Obviously since then Board has had more than his work cut out for him, as the last remaining sack leader defensive tackle Bryant Young are all that remain in premier production. In order to find a diamond in the ruff the 49er's will once again go to this year's NFL Draft for another elite prospect.
Although there are many pressing needs in San Francisco linebacker being rated most important based on two veteran linebackers falling subject to the salary cap purge, defensive end is right up there as a top priority also.
I would relish in the moment if we could find that dominant pass-rushing specialist in this year's draft. I believe we have been too dormant for too long on this position we need constant and unrelenting pressure applied to the opposing quarterback for our defense to take it to the next level.
What scouts look for in a defensive end.
Most teams use the 4-3 defense; the high demand for pass-rushing defensive ends has never been greater than it has been now. In the 4-3 defense most of the pass rush comes from the ends.
The right end should be the team's elite pass rusher, providing speed and explosion off the corner. He should have great range and chase ability and at least be adequate against the run, even though it is a mere secondary responsibility.
Should he not be at least average against the run, opposing teams will run the ball right at him, exploiting the entire defense. Many young players that come into the league without great size and strength are contributing as right ends, either on a full-time basis or as nickel rushers.
On the left side end in the 4-3 you still have to have an athlete that has at least some pass-rush ability, too, but power is more important. He must be able to stop the run seeing that most (offenses are right-handed) and must be able to jam the tight end at the line.
In 3-4 defenses, the ends are more physical and are asked to play the run more so than the pass. In this type of defense the primary pass rush comes from the outside linebackers; the ends are relied upon to stuff the run and keep the blockers occupied.
Defensive ends in a 3-4 defense usually are tough guys with size and some athleticism but do not have to be outstanding pass rushers.
San Francisco is in dire need of a premier pass rusher, we have been able to switch from time to time as we experimented a little last season with the 3-4 defense making outside linebacker Julian Peterson the primary pass rusher and it worked to some extent.
In the 4-3 we counted on John Engelberger and Anthony Pleasant the majority of snaps, and that has had very mixed results with Pleasant being the weak link in the Armour as of right now. We must recapture the terror that was once common place with the 49er's and that was to have a feared pass rush.
For defensive ends in the NFL the average player must have a height of 6-4 with the minimum being 6-2, at weight the average is 275 the minimum being 255, at speed the average is 4.80 in the 40-yard dash the minimum being 5.00.
Top Draft Prospects.
1. Missouri's Justin Smith has been ranked the very best defensive end in the upcoming NFL 2001 Draft this April, he has been compared to Detroit Lion Robert Porcher which is one anyone would like to duplicate if possible. He is someone prepared to come right in and play immediately as he will be counted on to start right away.
Justin stands at 6-4 and weighs 277 pounds; he also has run the 40-yard dash in a recorded time of 4.65.
A) Versus the run.
Smith is not a great in-line run-stuffer, but at the same time is not a vulnerability, he is not a complete project yet, but is making improvements in his ability to defend the run. Has great initial quickness off the line, and moves well laterally. Shows knowledge on how to use his hands to shed blockers.
B) Pass rush.
Has quick feet and excellent burst off the line. He can beat a lot of players with his quick first step. Does not have great speed, but has the agility to get around the edge. Still must work on the different variations of pass-rushing moves, but he shows great promise.
He will be an immediate threat to the passer once in the starting lineup from Week One.
C) Initial quickness.
Is outstanding coming off the ball, Rarely takes a false step, and explodes out of blocks. He will need to learn to keep low out of his stance. He has gifted natural quickness.
D) Run/pass recognition.
Seldom gets lost out there. He has tremendous instincts and a nose for the ball. When he comes off his blocks, he takes few false steps in pursuit. He knows what is expected of him, and rarely blows an assignment.
E) Pursuit/tackling.
Smith has explosive strength, and has a motor that never stops running. He will make a lot of tackles while in pursuit because he never knows the words stop as he is chasing the ball.
F) Bottom line.
Justin Smith, a junior, did not get his deserved recognition at the college level. He has tremendous instincts, power and a sense for the game. He also has a rare combination of size and speed, which is why he is the number one draft prospect at this position.
He is an intense, productive pass rusher in the Grant Wistrom mold. Does have a feel for rushing the passer, combined with speed and quickness. Has been considered a little light, but he makes up for that with hard effort.
2. Florida State's Jamal Reynolds is another top ranked defensive end in the 2001 NFL Draft, one San Francisco has it's mouth watering for. Jamal has been compared to Miami Dolphin defensive end Jason Taylor. I see him as a definite gold mine should any team have the fortune of acquiring his services.
Jamal stands at almost 6-3 and weighs 254 pounds and has been recorded in the 40-yard dash at 4.50 although he has been rated as undersized he has proven to be a lethal menace to opposing quarterbacks.
Reynolds has great speed, and has the ability to chase down most running backs, almost to the likeness of Tennessee Titan's Jevon Kearse; he has a tendency to get pushed around at the point of attack. He is improving in this area but this is his most major flaw.
He has rare speed, and is a tremendous all-around athlete. He has an outstanding first step, and rarely gets beat to the corner. Shows good moves in pursuit, and is the top pass rusher in his class of 2001.
He has a burst out of his stance that is equal to none; he shows exceptional football instincts and first move. Gets off the ball with awesome power, and stays low out of his stance.
He has shown improvement in this area. He has been a primary up-field guy who has not had to worry about reading keys or recognizing the run for most of his college career. However he is very prone to coaching and should continue to improve.
He is fantastic in open spaces, and can chase down almost anyone. Does a nice job of using his hands to avoid getting caught in traffic. He is an explosive tackler who has learned to "tomahawk" quarterbacks from the backside. He does tend to tackle too high, usually when trying to force a fumble.
Jamal Reynolds in all aspects is the best definition of a defensive end pound for pound in this year's draft. He has a rare combination of size and speed, and he continues to develop his game. His senior season was a bit of a disappointment but he really wasn't used correctly and played through some nagging injuries.
He is going to be a great athlete, especially in rushing the passer, right away starting in the NFL, and it would be shocking if he isn't one of the top 10 picks.
The underlying question here with San Francisco is what do they go after first Dan Morgan at linebacker which seems to be the most pressing need or take Jamal Reynolds in the first round to anchor their end positions for a long time to come.
The answer to that will have to be evaluated by our front office, they both certainly warrant immediate attention, as they seem to be the cogs in the defensive wheel at this point in rebuilding our defensive units.
3. California's Andre Carter is another possible prospect should Smith and Reynolds be swept away by other teams. He is a solid all around defensive end and he to could start right away if needed. He stands at 6-4 and weighs 260 pounds and has been recorded in the 40-yard dash at 4.85.
He has been compared to Tennessee Titan defensive end Kenny Holmes and seems to be a complete package that never stops hustling show good athleticism, technique and instincts. He has good upper-body strength, and can lock out at the point or jack offensive tackles. He plays bigger than his size.
He plays with great leverage, has the strength to line up over the tight end and play on the strong side. Holds his ground and does a nice job of recognizing the run. Does not have the ideal bulk, and the opposing team will target him in the run game as a rookie.
He certainly does not have the top 40-yard dash time, but still has a quick first step and has some powerful pass rush moves. Does an excellent job of getting up-field and working his way back inside. He has a strong club move like Carolina's Reggie White and initial quickness allows him to get a jump on most offensive tackles.
Has outstanding quickness for a man his size, shows great burst off the ball, comes out low and accelerates in his second and third step.
Is improving in this area, he always seems to know where the ball is. Film study has revealed that he does tend to get too far up field and will run himself out of the play.
He does not have great chase speed, but he is quick and will make a lot of plays in the backfield. He is a solid tackler with good technique. Explodes through the ball carrier, and has some big-play flair. However he will not make a lot of plays downfield.
Carter seems to always give 100% on every play and is an athlete of high character. He is also a great team player and could develop someday into a Pro Bowler. His draft status fluctuated throughout his senior season, but it would be very surprising to see him still around by the 20th pick.
Overall analysis.
San Francisco needs a premier pass rushing specialist bottom line; any of these three would be a definite upgrade to our defensive unit as a whole. Second-year player John Engelberger will be on the opposite end, which one as a permanent is yet to be determined but he shows exceptional promise in my view.
Although Justin Smith is ranked first I like the sounds of Reynolds and Carter the most, the raw side seems to have a air of strength and personified intensity qualities well needed to play in the NFL. I would like to see a high sack total come from the end positions like it used to be not too long ago from none other than Chris Doleman himself.
Putting undue pressure on the quarterback is key to snuffing out long clock-eating offensive drives that target our secondary without assistance or mercy. It is time we lend that secondary some help, although I do feel strongly that they weathered well in their baptism of fire.
We are not so far away that we cannot be real competitors in the market for a winning record, and at the same time accomplish a playoff berth with the rookies we take in this draft. It will be difficult as we will once again have even more youth and less veterans that take the field, the learning process and it's overall retaining foundation will be the deciding factor.
C.J. Beathard, Kendrick Bourne among PFF's highest-graded 49ers players vs. Seahawks
Quarterback C.J. Beathard had a good game on Sunday, according to Pro Football Focus. His 81.3 overall grade from the analytics site was the best among San Francisco 49ers players. Beathard finished the game completing 25-of-37 passes for 273 yards with a touchdown and a passer rating of 98.1. On top of the insurmountable number of injuries the team endured this past season, the 49ers spent the last month in Arizona after Santa Clara County COVID-19 restrictions banned contact sports. "Hopefully, we don't ever have to do this again, first off," Beathard said after the game, ready to finally get home. "But, there were some good times, some good memories here with the guys when you're all kind of bunked up in the same hotel you get to see them in passing a little
Two mock drafts have 49ers selecting quarterbacks with one involving a trade up
The 2020 NFL season is in the books for the San Francisco 49ers, and members of The Faithful can now turn their attention toward the NFL Draft. One position that will have no shortage of news coverage this offseason is quarterback, as was the case last offseason. Will Jimmy Garoppolo return to the team in 2021, or will Kyle Shanahan and company find a better option? Two mock drafts from Monday morning have the 49ers adding a rookie quarterback to the roster. The first is from Pro Football Focus, which has San Francisco moving up to the No. 4 overall pick to select Justin Fields of Ohio State. "There are a few reasons why I strongly believe the 49ers will

President Donald Trump arrives to speak during the presentation of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point football team, in the Rose Garden of the White House Monday in Washington. | AP
Trump may redefine poverty, cutting Americans from welfare rolls
Online: May 07, 2019
The Trump administration may alter the way it determines the national poverty threshold, putting Americans living on the margins at risk of losing access to welfare programs.
The possible move would involve changing how inflation is calculated in the "official poverty measure," the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a regulatory filing on Monday. The formula has been used for decades to determine whether people qualify for certain federal programs and benefits.
The measure, first set in the 1960s, is calculated at three times the cost of a minimum food diet and adjusted every year as prices rise. In 2018, a family of four making no more than $25,900 was considered impoverished. The figure determines eligibility for a wide swath of federal, state, and non-profit programs, including Medicaid and food stamps.
By changing the index the government uses to calculate how much the cost of living rises or falls, the poverty level could rise at a slower rate.
One proposal the Office of Management and Budget suggested in the filing is to shift to so-called chained CPI, which regularly shows a slower pace of price gains than traditional measures. Chained CPI shows slower inflation growth because it assumes consumers will substitute less expensive items when prices for specific individual goods increase significantly.
"Because of this, changes to the poverty thresholds, including how they are updated for inflation over time, may affect eligibility for programs that use the poverty guidelines," OMB said in a notice published to the federal register.
An administration official said the inflation measure was worth re-evaluating because it has remained unchanged for 40 years, and knowledge of how cost-of-living increases are calculated has increased substantially in that time. The official requested anonymity to describe the internal evaluation at OMB.
The possible change appears to be the latest effort by the Trump administration to make it harder to access welfare programs. Last year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to more strictly enforce current work requirements for welfare recipients, and propose additional, more stringent requirements that could further reduce eligibility.
"Millions of able-bodied, working-age adults continue to collect food stamps without working or even looking for work," Trump said in December. "Our goal is to move these Americans from dependence to independence, and into a good-paying job and rewarding career."
This isn't the first time a White House has considered using chained CPI to bring down the cost of government programs. President Barack Obama in 2014 proposed switching cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security and other retirement programs to the index. Congressional Democrats responded with an uproar, causing Obama to abandon the proposal in later budgets.

Dwyane Wade's cousin shot and killed while pushing baby in a stroller

The cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade was killed Friday by a gunshot in Chicago.

Nykea Aldridge, 32, was pushing her baby in a stroller on her way to register her children at a nearby school when two men walked up and opened fire on the man she was with. She was caught in the crossfire and died at the hospital.

"Bullets that fly around that have no name decided to find its way to her head," said Wade's mother Jolinda, a pastor.

That was Wade's mother, Jolinda, who just the day before appeared on a town hall discussion hosted by ESPN's "The Undefeated" where she and her son made a public stand against gun violence.

"It's deep-rooted, and this is something that didn't start today, this is something that's not going to end tomorrow, but this is something that we can start a conversation, we can start the work today and hopefully, eventually, we can stop it," Wade said.

Gun violence is widespread in Chicago, and it appears to be growing. According to the Chicago Tribune, over 2,700 people have been shot in the city so far this year, only about 250 shy of the total for all of 2015.

Speaking out about that violence is personal for Wade, a Chicago native who recently signed with the Chicago Bulls. But he isn't alone among NBA stars. At the ESPY awards in July, Wade opened the program along with Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and LeBron James.

"The endless gun violence in places like Chicago, Dallas, not to mention Orlando, it has to stop; enough," Wade said.

Aldridge was the mother of four children. The baby in the stroller she was pushing was unharmed.

CHICAGO (AP) — NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin was shot and killed in Chicago while pushing her baby in a stroller near a school where she intended to register her children. Wade lamented on Twitter what he called another "act of senseless gun violence."
Nykea Aldridge, 32, had recently relocated to an area on the city's South Side, her family said.
On Friday, Aldridge was near the school, which is about a mile and a half southwest of the University of Chicago, when two males walked up and fired shots at a third man but hit Aldridge in the head and arm. She wasn't the intended target, police said.
Police are questioning witnesses in the shooting but had no suspects in custody.
Wade, a native of Chicago who signed with the Chicago Bulls in July after 13 years with the Miami Heat, posted Friday on Twitter: "My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough." On Saturday, he again tweeted: "RIP Nykea Aldridge...#EnoughIsEnough."
My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough
— DWade (@DwyaneWade) August 27, 2016
RIP Nykea Aldridge... #EnoughIsEnough
Chicago has been plagued by gun violence for years, especially in a few South and West Side neighborhoods. This July alone, there were 65 homicides — the most that month since 2006.
A day earlier, Wade had participated via satellite in a town hall meeting in Chicago on gun violence hosted by ESPN, along with his mother, pastor Jolinda Wade. Dwyane Wade's charitable organization, Wade's World Foundation, does community outreach in the Chicago area.
Wade also tweeted Saturday morning: "The city of Chicago is hurting. We need more help& more hands on deck. Not for me and my family but for the future of our world. The YOUTH!" adding in a following tweet, "These young kids are screaming for help!!! #EnoughIsEnough."
Outside the emergency room where Aldridge was pronounced dead, Jolinda Wade clutched her sister and spoke for the family as mourners stood in a circle holding hands and praying. She said she'd participated in the ESPN town hall meeting "never knowing that the next day we would be the ones that would actually be living and experiencing it."
"We're still going to try to help and empower people like the one who senselessly shot my niece in the head," Jolinda Wade said. "We're going to try to help these people to transform their minds and give them a different direction."
It is not the first time Dwyane Wade's family in Chicago has been affected by gun violence. His nephew, Darin Johnson, was shot twice in the leg on the South Side in 2012 but recovered.
Chicago had recorded 381 homicides by the end of July, up 30 percent from the same period of 2015. Its murder rate is higher than the more populous cities of New York and Los Angeles.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has spoken about the city's violence , and used Aldridge's death as a chance to tweet about it Saturday morning. He posted: "Dwayne (sic) Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!"
Dwyane Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!
Family members are caring for Alridge's baby, who wasn't hurt.

How To Manage your Charity and Meet ACNC Requirements
A NSW charity recently had its charity status revoked by the national charity regulator, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (the "ACNC") following an investigation into the activities and operations of the organisation.
The implications of this revocation are significant. Notably, the organisation's Commonwealth charity tax concessions have been removed, being the fringe benefits tax rebate, income tax exemption and the goods and services tax concession.
It is important to note that from December 2012, every charity on the ACNC Register must adhere to certain obligations and responsibilities in accordance with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 (Cth) (the "ACNC Act").
The ACNC, which is the authoritative body for charity compliance, receives over 150 concerns every month regarding the operations and eligibility of charities registered in Australia, and the actions of their governors.
The ACNC has a range of formal penalties and power that it can use in the regulation of charities apart from the revocation of a charitable status which is a final and drastic course of action.
Such powers include:
Warnings;
Directions;
Enforceable undertakings;
Injunctions;
Suspension and removal from the ACNC register;
Disqualification of responsible persons; and
Administrative penalties.
So what does this mean for your charity, and how can you implement good governance principles to comply with ACNC requirements?
Purpose of the ACNC
Firstly, it is important to understand the threefold purpose of the ACNC, to:
Maintain, protect and enhance public trust and confidence in the sector through increased accountability and transparency;
Support and sustain a robust, vibrant, independent and innovative not-for-profit sector; and
Promote the reduction of unnecessary regulatory obligations on the sector.
To achieve these objectives, the ACNC has developed the ACNC Governance Standards, a set of core, minimum standards which all ACNC registered charities (with the exception of Basic Religious Charities ) must adhere to.
These Standards can be summarised as follows:
A charity must pursue its charitable purpose and must be non-for-profit in nature;
A charity must work to establish and maintain accountability to its members;
A charity must comply with all Australian laws;
A charity must work to ensure the suitability of its Responsible Persons (such as the Board); and
A charity must work to ensure the Responsible Persons know and adhere to their duties as Responsible Persons.
When ACNC registered charities breach the standards, the ACNC will exercise its compliance powers to rectify the offending act and ensure public confidence and trust is maintained. Although the Standards do not currently apply to Basic Religious Charities, it is prudent for such charities to nevertheless seek to understand and comply with the Standards.
In determining the extent to which the Governance Standards have been breached, the ACNC take into account three regulatory factors:
regulatory necessity,
reflecting risk, and
proportionate regulation.
The ACNC can conduct a risk assessment when they investigate credible concerns that pose the most serious consequences.
By assessing the information received from and about charities as well as any concerns raised by the community against these high-level principles, the ACNC endeavours to employ a proactive, rather than reactive approach to compliance.
In instances of minor incompliance, a co-operative and educational approach is used to provide guidance to not-for-profit organisations in order to quickly remedy the situation. Substantial and significant breaches that pose a serious risk to the public image of the non-for-profit sector will be dealt with swiftly and severely.
So What Acts Constitute a Serious or Significant Breach?
There are a range of situations in which the ACNC will consider the Governance Standards to have been contravened.
Examples of such situations include:
Diversion of money to non-charitable purposes;
Gross negligence with finance;
Serious mismanagement or misappropriation;
Failure to disclose significant conflicts of interest;
Posing a considerable risk to vulnerable people or significant charity assets; and
Deliberate breaches of the ACNC Act or ACNC Regulations.
What Acts Do Not Fall Within the ACNC Jurisdiction?
However, it is important to note that it is not the responsibility of the ACNC to run charities. Common examples of where the ACNC will not intervene include:
Differences of opinions of board members about a non-governance-related issue;
To regulate the quality of services provided; and
Employment disputes in charities.
These types of matters may still cause headaches and drain charity resources if they are left unaddressed, and it is always in the best interests of the charity to take timely legal advice on serious interpersonal or employment issues to seek a resolution as early as possible.
So What Can Your Charity Do to Avoid Compliance Actions?
Have good governance policies and procedures in place which:
Ensure Responsible Persons promote safe work practices and appropriately manage financial resources;
Protect children and vulnerable individuals (if applicable);
Ensure overseas operations and distributions comply with Australian legal requirements (if applicable);
Allow Responsible Persons to disclose perceived or actual conflicts of interests; and
Manage conflicts of interest.
Notify ACNC of changes to details (responsible persons and governing documents):
28 days for medium and large charities; and
60 days for small charities.
Ensure the actions and undertakings of your charity adhere to the objects set forth in your governing document(s).
Keep financial records that correctly record and explain your transactions and financial position.
Submit an Annual Information Statement (and a financial report for medium and large charities,).
Be aware of and comply with ACNC Governance Standards.

Spotlight on: Robert S. Tucker
FDNY Foundation Marks Anniversary of Sept. 11 Terrorist Attacks
Fire Prevention Week Events: Oct. 4 – 10
Spotlight on: Robert S. Tucker, Secretary, FDNY Foundation Board of Directors
Robert S. Tucker is now the Chairman and CEO of T&M Protection Resources, but his first ever employer was the Fire Department of New York City.
"When I was a young boy growing up in Manhattan, I was a fire buff," Tucker said. "I used to chase fire engines on my bicycle. I had the opportunity to meet Commissioner [Joseph] Spinnato and I told him about my interest in the Department."
Tucker was a teenager when he was hired to work in the Manhattan Communications Office, then located in Central Park.
"I thought it was the best job offer I would ever receive. I spent summers working there," he said. "The most productive thing I did was mapping out all the multiple alarm fires. The project proved the multiple-alarm fire activity was taking place in clumps of neighborhoods and believe it or not, no one else was doing that kind of analysis. It was a very rudimentary assignment I had been given, but it proved to be very informative."
Tucker went on to graduate from George Washington University and the Pace University School of Law. He is admitted to practice law in the State of New York, as well as the United States Supreme Court. He served as Special Assistant to the District Attorney of Queens County before joining T&M – which offers security intelligence services to businesses, financial organizations, investment management firms, academic institutions and private clients – in 1999.
Through all of his successes, Tucker's love of the Fire Department never waned. Commissioner Spinnato made him an Honorary Deputy Fire Chief – "I might be the youngest one ever," he laughed – and Commissioner Salvatore Cassano made him an Honorary Assistant Chief in 2010. He was named Honorary Fire Commissioner in April 2014.
"I am honored to serve as an officer of the FDNY Foundation and I'm particularly honored to be an Honorary Fire Commissioner," Tucker said. "That was something that, as a boy growing up in the city, I never could have imagined. It's incredibly meaningful to be a part of this small group of people and it only serves to double down my commitment to the men and women who make up the Department."
Tucker said as he watched the Department rebuild after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he felt called to action.
"I wanted to be more involved, to try to leverage my contacts and my love of the Department with something meaningful," he said. "I figured the best way to do that was to become a part of the Foundation's Board of Directors. "As a security company owner, having protected high-rise buildings all over this city, I know first hand: we have to have apparatus, we have to have fire fighters that are trained in high-rise safety, we have to have communication equipment that works in high-rise buildings. All of that can happen because of money we raise as trustees of the Foundation."
Tucker said he is particularly proud of the work of the Foundation-funded Fire Safety Education Unit.
"Fire deaths are at an all time low," he said. "Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, changing batteries on smoke detectors and the extensive education efforts that we are able to fund significantly move the needle on fire fatality statistics."
Tucker said he looks forward to the next chapter of FDNY history, and said he believes deeply in what the FDNY Foundation can accomplish.
"If the Foundation can continue to sponsor fire safety education programs that lower fire fatalities in New York City, then we have done our job," he said. "If we can enhance training of the members through programs like FOMI, then we have done our job. If we can continue to fund initiatives that strengthen the Department, like the FDNY High School, then we have done our job and we are on a very solid path for the future. As members of the Foundation Board of Directors, we must keep working hard on the city's behalf, on the members' behalf and on behalf of the FDNY."

Law Reviews Adapt to New Era
By Brandt GoldsteinSpecial to The Wall Street Journal
Feb. 21, 2006 11:59 pm ET
Editor's Note: Notes From the Ivory Tower, an occasional feature, looks at the effect certain ideas and trends within the legal academy are having on the practice of law and the business world. If you have an idea for a Notes From the Ivory Tower feature, please email us at lawblog@wsj.com, and please put Ivory Tower in the subject line.
Last month, Rosa Brooks, a professor at the University of Virginia Law School, tossed out a provocative thought on LawCulture, a blog about law and legal academia. Ms. Brooks questioned whether she would ever write again for the law reviews -- the hefty journals that publish scholarly works by legal academics. "I dutifully churned out law review articles to fill my tenure file," Ms. Brooks wrote. "[But] I'm fairly sure that practically no one outside my tenure committee and my mother has actually read the damn things (and I have my doubts about my mom)."
The post provoked a flurry of comments from other law professors, a number of whom applauded her plans to focus instead on books, op-eds, and blogging. One poster advised her to "give up the law reviews cold turkey," while another declared that "law review articles stand at the pinnacle of the scholarly research dung heap."
For years, publishing in journals has been a prerequisite to getting tenure or to moving to a more prestigious institution. And for just as long, scholars and laypeople have criticized the stultifying style of legal academic articles, which tend to be extraordinarily long (sometimes 100 pages or more), dense, and endlessly -- even sadistically -- footnoted.
But the most recent wave of criticism has been especially costly to the legal journals. More than any other time in the past, law professors are looking beyond law reviews, moving relevant and timely commentary to the Internet and the blogosphere.


In my time as a traveling author and speaker, I have met many women who love the Lord and desire to be used of Him, but have difficulty when it comes to getting in front of an audience. I have also met women who have excellent speaking skills but do not how to prepare a message or outline for a speaking engagement.Regardless of how much training or lack of training that you have, this book will be an excellent help to you in ministry!
Talking is a Gift is a much needed resource for today's Christian woman leader. Learning how to communicate effectively should be an ongoing, lifetime pursuit. It is essential for an effective women's ministry. This book is designed to train women's ministry leaders, as well as, future Christian women leaders to share God's unchanging Word effectively and learn how to present Truth passionately. The ultimate goal behind speaking effectively is for women to come to know Christ and grow in spiritual maturity.
I hope that you find a wealth of resources for your personal walk and you public ministry in this book!
Welcome to the Talking is a Gift blog! Here you will find posts on topics found in our book – from the differences in the way that men and women communicate to various ways to outline and even deliver your message! But first, let us introduce our book!
Seriously, I do believe that talking is an essential spiritual gift for ministry to others. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit empowers every believer with spiritual gifts to accomplish His work (Rom 12:3-8; 1 Cor 12:4-11, 27-31; Eph 4:11-13; 1 Pet 4:9-10). Talking is simply a talent when used for personal pleasure, but it is a spiritual gift when used to benefit others. Talking is an essential God-given ability which enables the believer to use her gifts of teaching, encouraging, prophesying, and leading in service to others.
The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive communication textbook for women who have been given the gift of talking from the Lord. It is written to provide information and insight about the process of communication especially public speaking for women in undergraduate and graduate academic programs as well as lay leaders in the church. Written from a Christian woman's perspective, it will include general discussions of interpersonal, verbal, and nonverbal communication.
We hope and pray that you will enjoy the personal stories and lessons learned that you will find in the pages of our book, and also that your ministry can grow and flourish through what you read!

Breastfeeding Rates Still Lower in Women
With Epilepsy
Pauline Anderson
BALTIMORE — Women with epilepsy are significantly less likely than their counterparts without the disorder to initiate breast-feeding, new research suggests.
Results from a large prospective study show women with epilepsy were 15% less likely than unaffected mothers to breast-feed, but also revealed that if they did initiate it they were just as likely to continue.
Dr Elizabeth Gerard
"We need to try to better understand why women with epilepsy aren't starting to breast-feed and to explore that with them," study investigator Elizabeth E. Gerard, MD, associate professor of neurology, Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, told Medscape Medical News.
This involves counseling about the safety and benefits of breast-feeding, she added.
"Some lines of evidence suggest that giving breast milk, in any amount, ever, is beneficial," Gerard noted.
She added that hers is the study largest to prospectively assess breast-feeding rates among women with epilepsy.
The findings were presented here at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 2019 Annual Meeting.
Income a Key Predictor
Part of the Maternal Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs (MONEAD) study, a multicenter investigation of pregnancy outcomes, the analysis included 325 pregnant women with epilepsy and 98 without the disorder.
Gerard noted MONEAD is the largest study to prospectively examine breast-feeding rates in women with epilepsy.
After giving birth, all women were regularly assessed and asked if they were breastfeeding. These data were recorded in an electronic diary and collected for 2 years.
Researchers adjusted for variables known to affect breast-feeding initiation, including race, multiple gestation, preterm birth, and income level. Although maternal education is another predictor of breast-feeding initiation, it is "strongly correlated" with income level, and so the investigators did not control for either of these factors, Gerard noted.
Results showed that 74.8% of women with epilepsy initiated breast-feeding compared with 89% of those without epilepsy (odds ratio [OR], 0.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.2 - 0.7; P = .003).
The main predictor of breast-feeding in both groups was income level.
"Women with a higher income level, and probably higher education level, were more likely to breast-feed," Gerard said.
She acknowledged that the breast-feeding rate might be elevated because women in the study are "informed and motivated."
Breast-feeding Barriers
Women with epilepsy face "barriers" to breast-feeding, including concerns about seizure control, sleep deprivation, and hormonal changes, Gerard said.
Although there is also worry that traces of antiseizure medicines will turn up in breast milk, "this doesn't make sense" because the child has been exposed in utero for the duration of the pregnancy, she added.
In the MONEAD study, antiepileptic drug (AED) levels in children who were breast-fed while their mothers were on these drugs were "extremely low," Kimford J. Meador, MD, professor of neurology at Stanford University and clinical director at the Stanford Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, California, told a discussion group on pregnancy registries during the AES meeting.
In many of these children, "this didn't even reach a quantitative level that can be detected in the assay," Meador said.
Gerard and her colleagues also wanted to understand whether breast-feeding duration differed between the two study groups. Using Kaplan-Meier survival curves to compare duration of breast-feeding, they found no significant difference in duration between women with and without epilepsy (P = .920).
"So it doesn't seem to be the case that women with epilepsy are not as successful at breast-feeding", said Gerard. "Even though they had lower rates of starting, they do just as well in the long-term."
The study also examined the effect of different AED regimens on breast-feeding. After adjustments, there was no significant difference between women with epilepsy taking multiple drugs and those taking only one drug.
Researchers also analyzed the impact of AEDs with and without evidence of safety. AEDs with the safest profile include lamotrigine and levetiracetam, but there are fewer data on older anticonvulsants such as topiramate, ethosuximide, oxcarbazepine, and phenobarbital.
"That doesn't mean they're dangerous. It's just that we don't have great data," said Gerard.
"Permissive Environment" Needed
Although the study didn't show a significant difference in the odds of breast-feeding for women taking AEDs with, and without, evidence of safety, Gerard believes this might not be the full story.
Potential reasons for not capturing that information could include that fact that the study was underpowered to detect a significant effect, she noted.
New information about the safety of AEDs in breast-feeding women has emerged in recent years. Some research has shown superior IQs among breast-fed children of women with epilepsy, even in children whose mothers were taking antiseizure medications, said Gerard. However, she acknowledged some "leftover" concern about these medications might remain.
Gerard noted that women with epilepsy receive advice from multiple sources, including neurologists, obstetricians, and pediatricians, all of whom "might have different perceptions."
She added that women with epilepsy need support and a "permissive environment." She also emphasized the importance of sleep because sleep deprivation is a trigger for seizures.
In the future, Gerard and colleagues plan to look at rates of breast-feeding in women with different seizure frequencies and examine the impact of depression on breast-feeding initiation.
More Women Breast-feeding
Commenting on the findings for Medscape Medical News, Anna Serafini, MD, director of the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and assistant professor of neurology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, noted that in this study the percentage of women with epilepsy who started breast-feeding is higher than in previous research.
Serafini pointed to the Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs (NEAD) study, which was published in 2010 but completed enrollment in 2004. It showed that the rate of breast-feeding among women with epilepsy was only 42%.
At that time, "people were more afraid" of the negative effects of some AEDs on offspring, she said. "As the years went by, we started using more medications that are known to be safe."
A limitation of the current study is that it included only academic centers, said Serafini. She runs the Women with Epilepsy program at her center, which was not involved in the current research.
Her patient population has an income and education level that is much lower than that at academic centers, as well as lower rates of breast-feeding.
"You'd think the less money you have, the more likely it would be to breast-feed, because formula is expensive," but this isn't the case with her patients, Serafini noted.
She blames a lack of awareness about the benefits and safety of breast-feeding. She also noted that lower-income women are also less likely to adhere to their epilepsy medication regimen.
Serafini commended the investigators and their plans to further study whether women with more seizures are less likely to breast-feed.
The MONEAD study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, NINDS, and NICHD. All study authors and discussants have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Ordering Storage Doors. One you have the cabinet door dimensions, you need to to order your new custom cabinet doors. There are almost endless styles of doors which might be made. But one of the more inexpensive types I see requested needed for quite often in kitchen cabinet refacing is the shaker style door. It is a inset or generally known as recessed panel cabinet door. These types of cabinet doors can be made from affordable MDF as well as a combination of wood frame and MDF center panel for additional saving for those of you that want to paint them. Along with the well-known shaker style are classic raised panel, bead plank, and applied moulding doorways. There are even solid slab curio cabinet doors for that clean modern day look. Another thing I would like to say is you can also purchase case end panels that will meet your new cabinet doors, these are great for cabinet ends, tropical isle ends, or even can be used seeing that wainscoting in areas of your kitchen or other parts of the home even. It give a truly customized to your finished project. The sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to doors. Everything you ultimately decide on is what definitely will fit your decor plus your cabinet refacing budget.

Judge Recommends Dismissal of Josephine County Marijuana Suit Against the State of Oregon
A few months ago, we chronicled a suit that Josephine County brought against the State of Oregon, which challenged the legality of the state's marijuana laws. On August 30, Federal Magistrate Judge Clarke recommended dismissal of the lawsuit. In succinct fashion, Judge Clarke noted that Josephine County lacks standing to sue the State of Oregon on constitutional grounds because the county is a political subdivision of the state. As additional grounds for dismissal, Judge Clarke explained that the state has not (yet) placed any substantive limitation on the county's regulation of marijuana, such that there is no live controversy for the court to address.
Judge Clarke closed by noting the hypocrisy of the county's lawsuit:
"Finally, on a practical rather than legal note, the Court is unpersuaded by Josephine County's argument that the State is "requiring" it to "aid and abet a federal felony." The County has provided no evidence to the Court that it has attempted to ban any and all marijuana use and production, as would be theoretically required by full compliance with the [Controlled Substances Act]. Instead, the County merely seeks to limit the use and production in rural residential zones, while continuing to allow marijuana use and production in other instances. Apparently the County is only worried about aiding and abetting federal felonies on certain kinds of land and not others."
Judge Clarke leaves open two important substantive issues — whether Josephine County can retroactively prohibit marijuana production in rural residential zones and whether the federal Controlled Substances Act preempts state-level marijuana laws. His Report and Recommendation will be referred to a federal Article III judge for review — the parties have 14 days to submit objections.
