The subject application generally concerns the field of television receivers and specifically concerns apparatus for providing a noise-free set-up signal.
Field service repairs of color television receivers often require the picture tube to be rebiased. Biasing the picture tube is often referred to as setting up the tube. Typical repairs which require a set up include installing a new picture tube, a new signal processing integrated circuit, or a new output device. The initial set up for each receiver is performed in the manufacturing facility, and involves the use of automated test equipment designed specifically for the task. Television manufacturers generally provide some means for field service set up because field service technicians have no access to such specialized equipment.
The field service set up means, referred to above involves the use of a "service line", generated by collapsing the vertical scan to produce a display comprising one, or only a few, horizontal lines running across the approximate center of the picture screen. Defeating vertical scan is not sufficient, by itself, for producing a service line. Unless internal video signal processing is defeated, or unless a specific alternate video signal is provided, the video content of the line will cause undesirable intensity fluctuations of the service line. Ideally, the intensity of the service line should be constant and its color should be "white".
Prior set up arrangements employing a service switch for entering a set-up mode are known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,820,155, entitled TELEVISION RECEIVER SERVICE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM (Neal), U.S. Pat. No. 3,959,811, entitled SET-UP ARRANGEMENT FOR A COLOR TELEVISION RECEIVER (Shanley, II), and U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,776, entitled SERVICE SWITCH
It is not very practical to require a specific video signal to be substituted for the normal video signal because the service technician might not have access to equipment for producing the required signal. A more practical approach involves defeating the video detector output of the intermediate frequency amplifier (IF amp), or attenuating the video signal by reducing the video gain by affecting the contrast control, or both.
Unfortunately, in many cases it is no longer possible to break the signal path at video detector output, because that point may be inside a very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI), and therfore be inaccessible. One may feel that the desired circuit point could be made accessible by bringing it out of the IC (integrated circuit) by way of a terminal pin. However, this approach is impractical because IC pins are thought of as a precious commodity, there never being enough of them.
Apparatus according to the subject invention provides a noise-free set up signal by automatically selecting an unused baseband video input terminal, or an unused pair of SVIDEO input terminals. Selection of the unused terminals provides a D.C. level to the luminance path, and allows the horizontal oscillator to free-run. In addition to selecting an unused video input terminal, the subject apparatus automatically increases the brightness level a few steps to simulate a 7.5 IRE flat field (commonly known as set up).
It is also recognized that the above-listed steps may be performed manually by a service technician, for television receivers not incorporating apparatus for automatically performing the steps.
FIG. 1 shows, in block diagram form, a television receiver incorporating the subject invention.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a portion of the control program of the controller of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1, radio frequency (RF) signals are applied to RF input terminals A, B, and C of RF switch 100. Under control of a control signal applied via wire 101, RF switch 100 selects one of inputs A, B, and C to supply one or more RF signals to a tuner assembly 102. Tuner assembly 102 selects a particular RF signal under control of a tuner control unit 104 which applies a tuning control signal to tuner assembly 102 via a wire 103, and applied bandswitching signals via a control bus 103'. Tuner control unit 104 is controlled by a controller 110. Controller 110, which may be a microprocessor or microcomputer, includes a central processing unit (CPU) 112, a read-only memory (ROM) 114, and a random access memory 116, and an electrically-erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) 117. Controller 110 generates the above-mentioned control signal for RF switch 100 for selecting an RF input for tuner 102. Controller 110 receives user-entered control signals from a local keyboard 120 and from an infrared (IR) receiver 122. IR receiver 122 receives and decodes remote control signals transmitted by a remote control unit 125.
Tuner 102 produces a signal at an intermediate frequency (IF) and applies it to a processing unit 130 comprising a video IF (VIF) amplifying stage, an AFT circuit, a video detector, and a sound IF (SIF) amplifying stage. Processing unit 130 produces a baseband composite video signal (TV), and a sound carrier signal. The sound carrier signal is applied, via a first audio switch unit 132 and a second audio switch unit 134, to an audio signal processor unit 135 which includes an audio detector and a stereo decoder. Audio switch unit 132 includes AUX1 and AUX2 auxiliary audio input terminals. While terminals AUX1 and AUX2 are shown for simplicity as single wire terminals, they may be stereo audio input terminals, and audio switch 132 may be a stereo audio switch. Audio switch unit 134 includes a terminal for receiving audio from an SVIDEO source. Audio signal processor unit 135 produces baseband left and right audio signals and applies them to a pair of speakers 138 for sound reproduction.
The baseband video signal (TV) is coupled, via a video switch unit 150, to a comb filter unit 152. Comb filer unit 152 separate the video signal into its luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) components, which are applied to inputs of a second video switch unit 154. Second video switch unit 154 has inputs for receiving luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) components of an SVIDEO signal. The output signals of video switch unit 154 are applied to a video processor unit 155 and a kine driver amplifier 156, and are ultimately displayed on a display screen of a display device 158. Video switch unit 150 includes VIDEO IN1 and VIDEO IN2 auxiliary baseband video input terminals. Video signals are also applied to a sync separator unit 160 which derives vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals therefrom. The derived vertical and horizontal signals are applied to a deflection unit 170 for the production of deflections signals for application to the yoke assembly of display device 158. Under control of controller 110, an on-screen display processor 140 generates character signals, and applies them to a second input of video signal processor 155, for display on display device 158. Controller 110 controls the switching of audio switch units 132 and 134, and video switch units 150 and 154 via a control line 119. The circuitry described thus far is known from the above-mentioned RCA CTC-140 color television chassis.
The subject invention will now be described with further reference to FIG. 1, and with reference to FIG. 2.
The set up mode is a service mode intended for use by qualified service technicians. As such, manufacturers restrict user access to this mode in some fashion. In Osborne U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,703 the service mode is entered by pressing a designated key of the local keyboard of the television receiver, while plugging the receiver into a source of AC power. This procedure is considered to be an acceptable method, suitable for use with the subject invention. However, the subject apparatus prevents accidental access by a user to the set up mode by requiring the pressing of a unique combination of keys.
Before entering the specific set up keycode combination, the service technician disconnects any auxiliary video signal source which may be connected to the AUX 1 video input terminal. Referring to FIG. 2, control microprocessor 110 performs an enters of the routine (step 200), and then advances to step 210 wherein it checks to see if the proper code for invoking the set up mode is being entered. If not, the routine is exited at step 250 so that the receiver can function normally. If, at step 210, the proper code for entering the set up mode was being entered, then the YES path is taken to step 215. At step 215, the unused AUX 1 video input terminal is selected in order to produce a blank display. The selection is accomplished by controller 110 controlling video switch 154 via a control line 119. The routine then advances to step 225 wherein video signal processor is controlled, via a control line 115, to increase the brightness a few steps above the factory preset value to simulate a 7.5 IRE flat field. The routine then advances to step 230 wherein deflection unit 170 is controlled, via a control line 118, to collapse vertical scan. At this point the routine advances to step 240 and waits for a channel change command. Step 240 causes the television receiver to remain in the service mode for as long as necessary for the service technician to adjust the color temperature of the television receiver with the adjustable screen bias controls. When the service technician is finished, he enters a channel change command which is detected at step 240, and causes to routine to follow the YES path to the exit at step 250.
When the vertical scan is collapsed, the image display field is reduced to a narrow horizontal line comprising one or only a few horizontal scan lines. As noted above, the unused video input terminal provides a D.C. signal which is applied to the luminance path. This D.C. signal is substantially noise-free, and has the same effect as applying a 0 IRE level flat field signal to the luminance path. In this mode the horizontal oscillator is free running, and the black level clamp (not shown) of video signal processor 155 is at its quiescent operating point.
The AUX 1 video input is herein described as the unused input to be selected in set up mode. However, selecting the unused SVIDEO input is also acceptable for purposes of the invention. In the above-described embodiment, the selection of the unused video input, and the adjustment of the brightness level were described as being performed automatically. However, it television receivers which do not incorporate apparatus for automatically accomplishing those steps, it is envisioned that they may be performed manually.
Thus, there has been described a set up procedure which does not require a special test signal to be applied to the television receiver, and provides a means to interrupt unwanted video signals from disturbing the brightness and contrast levels of the service line.

Movie of the Week: Jesus of Nazareth by Franco Zeffirelli 1977
Old Testament: Psalm 95
New Testament: Ephesians 5:8-20
Week #4 Movie Introduction Guide: Jesus of Nazareth
Producer/Director: Franco Zeffirelli
Premiere: April 3 – April 10, 1977 on NBC (Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday)

Many people consider Franco Zeffirelli’s magnum opus, Jesus of Nazareth, to be the greatest Jesus film ever made. As the earlier films about Jesus had stretched the limits of attainable theatrical release in terms of duration (The Greatest Story Ever Told was over three hours long), Zeffirelli was especially interested in the prospect of making a made-for-television movie that allowed for a longer development of the story than a theatrical movie would allow.
With Jesus of Nazareth, we see a significant shift that has taken place in the movie treatments of Jesus. In the 1927 King of Kings, Jesus is depicted clearly as God. The white glow envelopes him throughout the movie making it clear that he is not like the other people. Zeffirelli’s movie, however, invites us to see the humanity of Jesus. The movie highlights Jesus’ Jewish roots and begins by portraying the scene of a synagogue and the messianic backdrop of Jesus’ upbringing. It will be a challenge for most of us to find six and a half hours to devote to this great movie, but it is freely available on Youtube if you desire. In the case that you are not able to watch the movie in its entirety, I invite you to at least watch the designated clips each day to try and enter the first century world of Palestine. This movie, perhaps more than all the others, will be of a great aid in our efforts of Ignatian imaginative prayer.
Like the other movies, the writers make use of extra characters and embellished characters to help the story come alive. This serves as a reminder for the limited scope of the Gospel stories. There are many people who played a pivotal role in Jesus’ life. It was seem logical that he had friends growing up, and Mary and Joseph had extended families he would have known. There was the synagogue life that he would have attended. Zeffirelli makes use of Mary’s mother, Anna, who is talked about in the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of James to present an added dimension to his storytelling. Historical accuracy is impossible to confirm, but more importantly, her character encourages us to think about the many other people, not named in the Bible, who would have had a significant role in Jesus’ life. This is all part of seeing Jesus’ humanity – something that has challenged Christians in the United States for a long time.
So challenging, in fact, that when the president of Bob Jones University (a Christian university in South Carolina) heard that Jesus was being portrayed as “an ordinary man – gentle, fragile, simple” – he called for a letter-writing campaign to boycott the major financial backer of the movie, General Motors. Such an uproar arose that GM eventually backed out their support. Once the movie was released, however, the response was overwhelmingly positive, and the boycott was largely seen as an embarrassment. It is interesting how quick Christians can be to anticipate the worse of people. Hopefully, this week can be a blessing to you as you consider some of the major moments in Jesus’ life.
Monday Reflection on Jesus of Nazareth
Clip: 16:30 – 18:30
This scene depicts the beautiful meeting between two of the key women in Jesus’ story: Mary and Elizabeth. Maybe more than anyone other than Jesus, I think we have difficulty seeing the humanity of Mary. What must it have been like: to have heard the message from God or to have all the emotions that must have been racing through her mind? Luke 1:39-45 tells the story of Mary going to visit Elizabeth. The actors in this scene do a marvelous job of capturing the excitement, joy, nervousness, and anticipation that must have been in the air.
Immediately following this story in Luke are the beautiful words of Mary’s famous song, known as “The Magnificat.” What’s so compelling about Mary’s song, is how little we know about her. This description of Mary from Tim Perry seems to help highlight the significance of this moment.
“Now look at Mary. She is obviously not a priest and, though Elizabeth’s cousin, her lineage is unclear. Where Zechariah and Elizabeth stand out as part of the deep biblical tradition of infertile parents, everything about Mary is, well, normal and nondescript. She’s young, engaged, not renowned for her piety, and (presumably) fertile. And yet it’s Zechariah who can’t believe the announcement (1:18), while Mary declares herself ready to be a part of the divine plan (1:38).”
We can’t help but wonder, “Why Mary?” In the same way when reading Genesis we ask, “Why Abraham?” It is a reminder that God is in control of this world and we are simply here to receive his grace and open ourselves up to where he may lead. Today, let us consider Mary’s response to the grace she received: she sang the beautiful song. May that be our inspiration as we receive God’s grace. Spend some time singing today – and perhaps sing the words of Mary.
Luke 1:46-55 (NIV)
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”

On Sept. 25, an Australian surfer was catching waves at Wallagoot Beach, New South Wales, when he was warned of a huge, 20-foot shark stalking him in the water. Surfer Bill Ballard noticed first that the dolphins in the area, which had previously been surfing and feasting on fish, were acting strange before an aircraft swooped low over the water to warn him of the danger.
“It’s hard to describe, but [the dolphins] kept coming up to the surface to look at me and also began swimming back and forward, coming closer and trying to push me towards the shore,” Ballard told Australian newspaper the Courier-Mail.
Then, a nearby aircraft, which had been watching the dolphins feeding nearby, came close to the water. The passengers leaned out of the aircraft and shouted at Ballard that there was a shark. They gestured to a 20-foot shadow lurking nearby. The aircraft was too low to come up again and crashed in the water near shore. Luckily, no one was hurt in the crash.
Ballard caught a wave that pushed him to shore, and he checked on the occupants of the aircraft. Ballard spoke to one of the passengers. “She kept saying, ‘That shark was so close to you, so close, and it was the biggest one I’ve ever seen. It must have been around 20 feet long,'” Ballard recalled. “I am so thankful. They were like guardian angels coming to save me.”
Ballard continued, “At first, I thought they must have mistaken it for a dolphin, and I kept asking if they were sure it wasn’t, but the pilot said, ‘No, I’ve been flying for years and I know exactly what a shark looks like.'”
Dolphin Trapped in Shallow Water Whistles To Nearby Man for Help
In this situation from Sept. 25, the roles are reversed. Instead of a dolphin saving a man, a man helped save a dolphin in Cornwall, England. A dolphin was stuck in mud and a shallow riverbed about 3 miles from the nearest ocean. The dolphin whistled to a passerby, getting his attention. The man attempted to free the dolphin, but its fins were stuck in the mud. In the video, it’s clear the water was much too low for the animal to swim out, as well.
Eventually, a marine rescue crew was called, and they worked to keep the dolphin hydrated and get it out of the mud. They then hauled the dolphin up on a boat to take it to a better location. The rescue crew took the dolphin out to deeper ocean and let it go. At first, it looks like it has some trouble getting acclimated, maybe after being out of the water for a while. But, the animal swims off quickly, looking no worse for wear. A great success if I’ve ever seen one, all thanks to a little whistle and some handy helpers.

Gabrielle Sigel, an attorney for three groups fighting the Hyperion Energy Center, said the Board of Minerals and Environment erred when it approved an air quality permit last year because its study did not include a full-blown environmental impact statement.
Sigel said the refinery would be the largest industrial project in state history and that the preparation of an impact statement should involve other agencies and evaluate a project's broader effect. State officials abused their discretion by bypassing that process, she said.
Attorneys for Hyperion and the board countered that an environmental impact statement is not required by state law that and board members took into account all relevant environmental issues when issuing the air quality permit.
The state Department of Environment and Natural Resources can require an impact statement but decided it wasn't necessary. "The board agreed," said Rick Addison, a Dallas-based attorney representing Hyperion.

I'll be back to swim on Tuesday morning at 7. That will be it for me for a week as I'll be out of town Wednesday through Sunday.
Tom L's Monday morning, swim report: On the final day of the three day weekend, it was still crowded enough that I could not get a front row parking spot when I arrived at 9:15, hence, the no ocean view photo. It was cloudy with scattered blue spots in the sky. Air temperature was 62°. Being the tourist curmudgeon that I am, it is times like this morning and Saturday that I miss the emptiness that came with the Covid shut down. As I was getting in, I saw sushi seal just past the break searching for breakfast… The water was 52° with a wind chop and bump to it. Swimming was nice, though, and tourists free!
Tom L's Friday morning swim report: the gray days of May continue at Avila. It was 60° when I arrived at 9:45. The marine layer was thick, but would be burning off by the time I finished my swim. The water was smooth, flat and glassy with temperatures ranging from 52-54. Aquatic microclimates. Good swimming.
Tom L's Monday morning swim report: arrived at 9:30. Air temperature it was 56°. The marine layer, and calm, glassy water. The water temperature was 55 on the east side, and 56 on the west side. The Villella jellyfish regatta has sailed on to points beyond. Beautiful morning swim.
Tom's Friday morning swim report: I arrived at Avila at 915 and was greeted with a low, marine layer or high fog... regardless of what it was called, it was thick and solid, and would not be burning off anytime soon. There was a slight breeze out of the south that created a chop on the water. The water temperature was 54+, which allowed me to enjoy a longer swim. A nice way to ease into the weekend.
Tom's Monday morning swim report: there was a thick marine layer at Avila when I arrived at 920. Air temperature was 57°. There was a 3 to 4 foot swell coming through and a slight bump on the water. Apparently, I missed the tropical warm water yesterday, because it was back to 52°. We've had a couple of these four degree water temperature swings this year, so it's not totally unusual. It was a good morning swim.
I'll swim tomorrow morning at 11.
Tom's Friday swim report: foggy bottom and 51°. It was an interesting morning when I got to Avila at 920. Sort of foggy and sort of clear. It was 58° air temperature and the water was smooth and calm. The water temperature was 51° with a few spots a little colder. Excellent swimming.
Niel, Jodi and Tom Israel will swim Saturday at 7
Tom's Monday morning swim report: if you look closely at the picture above , you might notice the significant low tide and think to yourself, it almost looks like you could walk out to the buoy. Of course, that would be an exaggeration... but not that much of an exaggeration. It was low tide. And if you look really closely at the picture, you might notice Avila Rock out there and how much longer it extends to the south than you might expect. All that is to say, it was low tide, the swell from last week has fizzled just about down to nothing, and the water was smooth and calm with a slight breeze, creating a small bump. The air temperature was 58 when I arrived at 9:30, and the water temperature was 52. Excellent morning swim.

I know, it's tomorrow. I won't be here tomorrow! Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
Here is my slipper sock, first one completed, second one in progress. I will finish it probably today if I knit for a few hours. The pattern is pretty simple, and I make these for my mom every year. I chose this yarn for her because she likes autumn colors.
Pattern: CO40 stitches, divide in half for each circular needle (I used size 9 circulars). Join in the round. Garter stitch the first two rows. Rib stitch the next several rows, as long as you want the cuff to be (2K, 2P). Knit the heel flap on one circular, holding the instep stitches in stasis on the other needle. Heel flap: S1,K1,S1,K1 to the end of the row. Turn, S1 and purl the whole row to the end. Turn and repeat the S/K pattern from heel flap row 1. When the heel flap is the desired length you can either turn the heel (narrow the heel) or leave as is, since it is a slipper sock. Pick up gusset stitches; when you reach the instep, rib stitch to the end of the row. Pick up the other side's gusset stitches. A note about gussets: to avoid the dreaded gusset hole, pick up the stitch UNDER the obvious one, one row down. It seems wrong, but just do it. If you miss it, just stitch the hole closed from inside the sock later, no biggie, just annoying. Ok, then start forming the foot. Decrease each gusset side by knitting two together every other round until you are left with the original twenty on the bottom needle (always continue the rib stitch pattern on instep needle). When you reach the toe, same thing: decrease by two every other row. Finish by using the Kitchener stitch, it's durable for the socks.
These socks may look odd off the foot; partly due to the yarn and also the rib pattern. But on the foot, they stretch out nicely!


The first of several wet storms is drenching the North State as officials brace for localized flooding and other storm associated problems.
Right now, area cities and counties are reporting minor street flooding. PG&E says there are no major power outages though extra crews are on standby to respond to any problems.
There has been one major accident so far. One person is dead on Highway 299 about 30 miles east of Redding after an empty logging truck collided head-on with another vehicle. It is not known the weather was a factor in the crash.
Shasta County has issued sand and sandbags to the following fire departments to be used in the event of an actual flood emergency available on Wednesday 11/28/12 after 1200 hours. Sand and bags will be given to those citizens who are actually experiencing flooding or have an immediate need.
•Palo Cedro Fire Station #32- 9418 Deschutes Rd
•Bella Vista Fire Station #33- 2202 Hwy 299 E
•French Gulch Fire Station #59- 14363 French Gulch Rd
•Cottonwood Fire Station #23- 3271 Brush St
•Jones Valley Fire District- 14680 Ravine Rd
•Mountain Gate Fire Station #41- 14508 Wonderland Bl
•Burney Sheriff’s Substation- 20509 Shasta St
And while the Town of Paradise isn’t concerned with widespread flooding, Town Manager Chuck Rough said the town is offering sandbags to areas that tend to suffer flooding.
Sandbags and sand will be available at 5657 Sierra Park Drive during significant rain events. Sandbags are also available at Town Hall during normal working hours.
Both the bags and sand will be offered free to town residents, with the request that no more than 12 bags be issued to each resident.

Numerous reports are emerging that the White House is considering imposing some type of sanctions on Syria or certain key individuals tied to the government of Bashar Al-Assad following the recent violence that has ensued in that country. As the United States currently maintains fairly extensive sanctions on Syria, the question that remains is what can the U.S. government sanction – in other words, what form would the sanctions take?
The current sanctions regime in place against Syria comes largely in the forms of certain Executive Orders (EOs) signed by former President George W. Bush. Most importantly, Executive Order 13338, signed into law in 2004, along with Executive Orders 13399 (2006) and 13460 (2008) as well as the Syrian Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 542 (the “SSR”) place very strict limits on U.S.-Syrian trade. Effectively, the only types of goods that can be exported are generally within the realm of informational materials, food, and medicine. Furthermore, the sanctions regime has caused the blockage of assets and transactions related to many Syrian officials, in large part due to that country’s alleged support of terrorism and its activities in Lebanon.
Given the current limitations, what else is there left to sanction? The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) could certainly add more Syrian entities to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. This could not only prevent these entities from transacting with the U.S., but it could also create problems for such entities in third countries, as banks and other commercial entities may use blocking software programs that integrate U.S. sanctions and other lists. Furthermore, OFAC could impose transactions that substantially limit banking transactions for Syria, much as it did with Iran. The banking sanctions on Iran have been very effective as they have caused difficulty even for Iranians doing business in third countries.

The State of Grace by Rachel Lucas
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This review is spoiler-free.
Sometimes I feel like everyone else was handed a copy of the rules for life and mine got lost.
Grace has Asperger’s and her own way of looking at the world. She’s got a horse and a best friend who understand her, and that’s pretty much all she needs. But when Grace kisses Gabe and things start to change at home, the world doesn’t make much sense to her any more.
Suddenly everything threatens to fall apart, and it’s up to Grace to fix it on her own.
Whip-smart, hilarious and unapologetically honest, The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas is a heart-warming story of one girl trying to work out where she fits in, and whether she even wants to.*
I have stated countless times on this blog that I just don’t like contemporary YA. As a nearly 29 year old, it just doesn’t click with me. However, The State of Grace resonated so strongly with me. This book is something special, and I was absolutely charmed.
Told in first person, we get a first-hand look at Grace’s life and experiences. The book reads like any other teen girl’s narrative might – she’s constantly thinking about her best friend, boys, parties, and school. However, Grace has Asperger Syndrome, which is ‘a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others’. We see this in the way her thoughts race when she leaves the company of her friends and peers, when she struggles in class, and when she’s dealing with changes in her home. Grace is incredibly funny, charming, and loyal to her friends. She’s the type of young woman that the target demographic can and should look up to.
This book tackles a number of issues affecting modern teenagers including mental health, disabilities, divorce, bullying, and peer pressure. We come into Grace’s life at a time of instability. Her father is away for work and her mother’s life is being taken over by an old university friend. There are parties, boys, and mean girls to deal with. Her younger sister is starting to act out. As a young woman who needs stability, Grace’s world starts to come apart. The family dynamic in particular was interesting to me. You get hints as to what’s going on, but since Grace doesn’t truly know the situation, neither does the reader.
Although I cannot speak for the realism of Asperger’s in the book, I imagine Lucas is the absolute perfect person to write such a novel as she has been diagnosed with Asperger’s herself. It is great to see a heroine with autism treated in such a wonderful way. The State of Grace is an absolute treat and a perfect heartwarming summer read.
Have you read The State of Grace? What did you think? Let me know!

Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Nearly 35 million Americans know at least one person who died in the last five years because they couldn't afford medical insurance, a new survey said Tuesday.
Gallup said in its poll that total number is 34 million, accounting for 13 percent of U.S. adults. The study is based on reported knowledge of deaths connected to someone's financial situation.
The survey found non-whites, lower-income households, those under 45 and political independents and Democrats were all more likely to link an acquaintance's death to their inability to afford health coverage.
"It's outrageous in the United States that so many people have lost a family member or friend simply because the cost of healthcare is so high," Tim Lash, chief strategy officer for West Health, said in a statement.
"It is a tragic statement on the state of healthcare in America. How many more Americans must die before elected officials and policymakers take bold action to rein in runaway costs? The time for smart reform is now."
Asked if they hadn't been able to pay for care over the past 12 months, nearly a quarter (23 percent) of respondents answered yes -- an increase of 4 percent from the last poll in January.
Some critics of the Affordable Care Act say premiums are too expensive for many Americans who are forced to choose between medical care and other basic necessities.

(For treatment side effects and complications only)
We use artwork to transform and enhance our centres to create welcoming spaces to benefit the health and wellbeing of our patients, families, staff and visitors. Displaying stimulating and uplifting artwork in both the public and clinical areas of our centres offers a wealth of benefits including promoting recovery, staff wellbeing and a positive visitor experience.
Find out about some of the artwork on display at our Clatterbridge Cancer Centre sites below.
Location: Across all Levels, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Liverpool
Rachael was inspired by the biophilic theme and colours of Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Liverpool's interior design, taking the textures and shapes of trees - especially their fruits, nuts and blossoms - to make distinctive wayfinding motifs relating to the colours of each floor level, and to their symbolism in connection with health and wellbeing. She began with the strong and dependable oak tree, focusing on its fruit of the acorn as a motif for the entrance level of the Centre.
Rachael enjoys mixing pigment dyes and painting with the squeegee to achieve a mix of colours and textures across a design, with this technique being described as ‘rainbow squeegee’ painting. The motifs all began as small-scale stencil screen-printed artwork, with the size of the designs increased to suit the spaces in the hospital corridors, with the mix of colours and gestural marks being enhanced at a larger scale. It is the large-scale zoomed-in marks and the vibrancy of the colour mixes that Rachael finds most exciting and one that she felt was appropriate to apply to the distinctive silhouettes of the tree related motifs. It is the bright colours and lively nature of the motifs that she hopes will be most enjoyed.
Rachael Howard is a Wirral-based textile designer, artist and lecturer. Rachael was one of the first Royal College of Art postgraduate students of Embroidery, and since then has pioneered a mix of screen printing and embroidery techniques with a lively style, often telling stories of the ‘everyday’. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and in the North West has shown at the Bluecoat Display Centre Liverpool, the Williamson Art Gallery - Birkenhead and the Waterside Art Centre in Manchester. Rachael is a Senior Lecturer in Textile Design at Bath School of Design.
Location: Winter Gardens, Level M3, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool
This piece denotes the season of early spring and the inspiration for the sculpture is from a phrase “After the winter must come the spring”. Emma thinks this describes all life and nature simply but beautifully - growth, renewal, hope, love. This also links to the Winter Gardens where it is sited.
The tree is hand-sculpted and fabricated from stainless steel, patinated with highlights of gold leaf. The tree trunk and branches are stainless steel and the leaves are hand-cut sheet brass. Details of the silhouettes of the leaves are layered to give the impression of light breaking through them on a sunny day. The leaves are cut individually, however they are actually silhouettes of doves. From afar they appear to be leaves on the tree, but when you get closer you realise they are flocks of birds flying through the landscape. The flock of birds will grow over time due to doves being added to represent donations to the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. By purchasing a dove, you can help to raise funds for this important charity, which supports additional services, facilities and research for patients.
The Winter Gardens is a beautiful and peaceful space, allowing patients, visitors and staff some time to contemplate and breathe in fresh air, or to simply relax and catch up with friends. It is a space which will continue to evolve and Emma feels privileged to be a small part of this, especially as the donations raised from the doves can continue to grow and help to support The Clatterbridge Cancer NHS Foundation Trust.
If you would like to support the Charity you can sponsor one of our doves. The doves are available in a variety of sizes and prices, and can be personalised with a message of your choice. Personalisation will be carried out by the artist before being added to the sculpture. Please contact the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity team on 0151 556 5566 or via email@example.com.

Location: Level M1, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool
Liz’s new and original work forms part of her ongoing series of spatial light works, based on personal research into wellbeing, human colour perception and light fields. This series is transforming architectural spaces and public environments, creating vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. Liz likes to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer by exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour.
This work at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Liverpool is a site-specific response to the location, creating a new space within the building for exploration and discovery. It depicts and symbolises a physical and metaphorical meeting point of both colours and people within the space. Covering a selection of the walls of Level M1, this immersive installation helps to join together the different paths across the space. The visually rich multicoloured stripes collectively become softer and gentler, creating a mesmerising mass when viewed from all angles. Our Melody Unwound appears to change and morph as you move around the space. The work encourages your eye and your body to follow the work around the space on a visual journey, with different perspectives offering intriguing colourways and kaleidoscopic visuals.
The work is inspired by Liz’s knowledge of and empathy for the experience of cancer patients, as well as the building’s architecture and interior design. Derived from nature, the colour palette aims to encourage positive associations, memories, and experiences of colour. Liz makes these colour choices and arrangements instinctively and intuitively, experimenting in colour mixing and blending to focus on the interaction of colours, as well as carefully composing a spatial balance between geometric elements and forms. Liz hopes that this luminous and considered mix of vibrant colours encourages a sense of wellbeing and brings joy to you.
Liz West graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1987, and lives and works in Macclesfield. She has been commissioned by the Natural History Museum, Natural England, National Trust, the London Design Festival, Salford University, Allenshead Contemporary Arts, Eden Arts and the Bristol Biennial, as well as private clients. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Royal British Society of Sculptors, Cornerhouse Manchester, Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Gallery, Chester Cathedral, Compton Verney, and internationally in Milan, Dubai, Paris, Berlin and New York.
Leo’s recent work has taken language as its focus, and in particular, the way words are presented in the public spaces we visit. For this commission at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, Leo was inspired by the light and architecture of the atrium space and the wayfinding that denotes each Level with a different shade or colour. This experience of light, space and colour are things that visitors and patients alike naturally respond to, so Leo’s approach was to free these elements from their everyday duties, as it were, giving people the opportunity to enjoy their environment in a new and uplifting way.
Leo’s wish was to harness the essence of these observations to produce a piece that complimented the atrium space - giving it a sense of playful animation - with the end result being both physical and light, and open to interpretation.
Leo Fitzmaurice lives and works in Merseyside. He studied painting at Liverpool Polytechnic and Manchester Metropolitan University. In 2012 he was the recipient of the 5th Northern Art Prize. In 2018/19, Leo worked with The Arts Council Collection and the Walker Art Gallery to produce an exhibition ‘Between You Me and Everything Else’. Currently he is working on a permanent commission for Thames Tideway at Chambers Wharf, London. Leo’s work is in many collections including The Arts Council Collection, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Manchester Art Gallery, The Royal London Hospital, and numerous private collections. Leo Fitzmaurice is represented by The Sunday Painter, London.
Location: Level 0, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool
Timeline is a fascinating artwork to remind us of the events that took place along the journey of Clatterbridge, from its inception as the first cancer hospital in Liverpool city centre in the early 1860’s to present day. Professor Sun Myint has been working for the Trust for the past 40 years and has seen many big changes and events in that times, some of which are referenced below and included in the artwork.
The original cancer hospital moved from Liverpool to the Wirral in 1958 when Clatterbridge started treating patients with the 'Mullard' linear accelerator, which helped to improve outcomes for more deep-seated cancers. These cancers were difficult to cure, with low energy X-rays only available at that time.
Then, in 1989 at Clatterbridge, the first proton beam for eye melanoma was generated from the Douglas Cyclotron machine. By 2015, over 2,600 patients had been treated in this manner and to this day, Clatterbridge remains the national referral centre for eye melanomas..
In 1993, the pioneering Papillon technique, developed for the treatment of rectal cancer -was introduced at Clatterbridge, the first hospital in the UK to do so. The Clatterbridge Cancer NHS Foundation Trust is now a world leader in this innovative radiotherapy technique, which has improved the quality of life in many rectal cancer patients through avoidance of extirpative surgery and a stoma.
In 2011, the Novalis TX radiation treatment system was installed at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Aintree. This was followed by the Trust commissioning a state-of-the-art Varian 'Edge' Linear Accelerator in 2015.
In 2020, the Trust celebrated the opening of the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool, which provides easy access for cancer patients from north of the River Mersey. One of the most intriguing panels featured on the Timeline artwork focusses on a small, blue medicine bottle found on the site when the contractors were digging the foundations for the new hospital.
We hope you enjoy the journey of The Clatterbridge Cancer NHS Foundation Trust as presented through Timeline.
Professor Sun Myint has been painting for over 50 years in Myanmar, where he is originally from. He is a well-established artist and has exhibited regularly locally, nationally and internationally since 1964. He was commissioned to paint portraits of H.E. Col. Hla Han, former Myanmar Minister for Health, and Dr Jane Barrette OBE, who was the President of the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) between 2010-13. Professor Sun Myint and Dr Jane Barrette OBE served together on the RCR council.
Location: Level 4, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool
The multi-disciplinary artwork Blossom was made for the Reflective Space at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, Liverpool.
It includes a film-collage with soundtrack, a window screen and a suite of seven large photographs.
The making of the work began in spring when the blossom trees were in full bloom, and continued throughout the coming months as the hospital was nearing completion.
Blossom celebrates the universal, transformative power of nature through the changing qualities of light as it appears in the natural world. From reflections on a river to sunlight filtering through a petal or blazing like fire at the tide’s edge, the film explores the elusive ‘moments of wonder’ that inspire quiet contemplation.
The photographs and the design of the window screen echo the imagery captured in the film, while the multi-layered soundscape is built around the patterns, sounds and structures found in nature.
Location: Teenage and Young Adult Social Space, Level 5, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool
Staff, patients and parents of patients created a variety of artwork through a series of workshops delivered by Rachael at the Teenage and Young Adults lunch club over a number of weeks. Participants had a go at techniques like stencil screen printing and carbon printing, both low-tech approaches that could be happily delivered in the small but cosy lunch club room. They also took part in a fun poetry workshop with renowned poet John Hegley, who Rachael invited to be part of the workshops to add a handwritten element to the design outcomes.
Their work has been developed into designs for the Teenage and Young Adult recreation room. The wallpaper is a result of tree-themed acrostic poems made with John Hegley, which forms a backdrop to a series of framed posters of a variety of artworks made by patients in the workshops, some of which have been digitally reworked into repeat patterns. Working with the patients and sharing artistic skills has been great fun and has resulted in a series of wonderfully varied and lively posters.
Rachael’s intention is that the recreation room is populated with artwork created by the patients and that artworks may be refreshed and ever changing, following a continuation of the workshops being delivered by artists.

(Article by CreativeDestructionMedia.com)republished from
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as is typical of all dictatorships, excels at the destruction of the human soul and freedom. The CCP has done its best to make the world afraid of its power, but one tiny country is saying “no.”
Kudos to Lithuania for recognizing Taiwan and standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. Lithuania is confronting a bully at great risk to its prosperity and well-being, while much larger countries slink away. Accommodating totalitarians never works. Thugs and criminals who murdered tens of millions of innocent civilians have no conscience and will not change their behavior unless they are forced to do so by a stronger opponent.
Communist China demands that the world acknowledge that the real China is Communist China and that Taiwan has no validity as a separate country. They rattle their sabers and snarl threats to anyone who dares to question their narrative about Taiwan. Companies and individuals who want to profit from trade with Mainland China meekly apologize and move on, kicking Taiwan to the curb. To those who make millions of dollars from the Communist Chinese while abandoning Taiwan, one might suggest that they remember the words of Jesus in Mark 8:36: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
But let’s consider for a moment the moral status of Taiwan compared to the CCP. And I say “CCP”—not “Mainland China”—because the communists in China are a minority of fascists who have enslaved their citizens and do not represent the hearts and minds of their people.
Slavery is the dividing line. The CCP might say that they don’t practice slavery, but enslaving an entire society under a totalitarian system of oppression fits the bill. It’s not just China, of course. North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Venezuela, and every other repressive regime in the world can be succinctly labeled as a country of “illegitimate slavers.”
Someone might point to the long history of conquest in the world and excuse the CCP as the military victor in an internal conflict. Mao Zedong won the war and to the victor go the spoils. Hasn’t that happened everywhere in the world, throughout history? Look at Britain: the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes occupied England and became “the rightful rulers,” and then the Normans conquered the Anglo-Saxons. Such is life, and such is history.
And slavery? It has existed almost everywhere, throughout antiquity. It was just “normal.” But it’s not normal anymore, or at least it shouldn’t be. In the 1800s, Judeo-Christian abolitionists in Britain and America publicly spoke in defense of all humans as sacred creations of God and initiated an enormous change in the world with their victorious battle against slavery.
Very few people in the world today, either from the Left, the Right, or anywhere else, will publicly defend slavery—the owning of another human being. Criminals engage in it, and certain countries like Mauritania surreptitiously allow it, but it’s not publicly supported.
It has become a gray area, however, when one examines the quality of freedom versus slavery in a citizen’s relationship to government.
In China, slaves are not triumphantly paraded in chains past the doors of the palaces, as was common in the Roman empire. No, in China, the entire populace is enslaved. Citizens are monitored constantly, and they are not free to conduct their affairs as they wish.
Some will quibble and state that Chinese citizens can run their businesses and make millions, ignoring the fact that if those millionaires speak out against the CCP, they’ll be “disappeared.”
Thus, totalitarian governments that oppress their citizens become slavers by default. Life in North Korea, a society that might be closest to the horrors of the novel 1984, is simply not free at all. Their example should give pause to Western citizens who have already begun to lose their freedoms in the last two years of the China-initiated Covid pandemic.
The 1.4 billion citizens of Communist China are enslaved by a minority cadre of power-hungry, well-fed slavers who look at their citizens with contempt. From famous actresses like Zhao Wei, who “disappear,” to the mass imprisonment of Muslim Uyghurs, the CCP rules with implacable tyranny. Their military buildup, fueled by Western trade dollars and the theft of Western technology, threatens the world and threatens Taiwan in the short term.
If Mao Zedong had created a free and democratic society after he came to power, China might have the moral standing to declare that it’s the “real China.” If democracy had flourished, Taiwan might never have been established. All would be well in China, at least relatively speaking.
But today, in the twenty-first century, when slavery is almost universally condemned, slavery by government still exists, and mainland China is its largest purveyor. Oppression of populations marks the difference between dictatorships and the free countries of the world.
Even though most countries of the world have problematic histories of conquest, the countries that supported the growth of freedom gained a new ethical credibility and the moral right to exist that China does not share.
Taiwan has held the line and has demonstrated that the Chinese people are better than the CCP and do indeed value democracy and freedom.
Taiwan has firmly established that its small island nation is the Real China. The mainland Communist Chinese are Illegitimate Slavers who, if left unchecked, will continue to enslave their unfortunate population and will do their utmost to enslave Taiwan and as much of the world as they possibly can.
The CCP has no moral standing. Their 1.4 billion citizens deserve to be free.

Canada suffer heartbreaking loss
Rugby Canada 22 Rugby Italy 23
Canada were denied an opening World Rugby Classic win after suffering a heartbreaking last gasp defeat at the hands of Italy at North Field, National Sports Centre, last night.
Battling back from a 17-5 deficit at half-time, Canada fought back during a topsy-turvy second-half, to hold a 22-20 advantage heading into added time with victory seemingly secured.
However, their anticipated celebrations were ultimately dashed as Italy struck a decisive penalty deep into added time with the last kick of the game to snatch victory.
“The last second penalty awarded against us came incredibly late and we're extremely disappointed in the manner in which it came about,” Jonathan Goldie, the Canada coach, said.
“We felt we had done enough to win the game and so to lose in that way is very hard to take.
“It was a very close game obviously. The guys had a very slow start but we fought our way back into the game in the second half and showed how strong a team we are.
“We are obviously gutted but we will come back in the next game and build on the positives. I felt we showed we were the better side and the guys can certainly have their heads held high.”
After a fairly even start to the encounter, Italy broke the deadlock in the ninth minute through Ramiro Pez's simple penalty, taking the score to 3-0. That advantage was extended in the fourteenth minute as Italy scored the opening try of the match.
A brilliantly executed driving maul deep into Canada's half resulting in hooker Davide Giazzon crashing over in the right corner. Pez made light work of the conversion giving his side a 10-0 lead.
The set back appeared to jolt the Canadian's into life as Tim Rhone was denied a try with a last gasp tackle, before his side finally reduced the deficit in the nineteenth minute. The ball was worked out to the right-hand side, where it found wing Jared Stephens to bundle over in the corner. Rhone failed to add the difficult conversion, leaving the score at 10-5.
However, it was Italy who finished the half in the ascendancy with their physical advantage again proving decisive in the closing moments as another driving maul resulting in another try for Giazzon. Pez's conversion flew between the posts taking his side into the interval with a 17-5 advantage.
Canada returned to the field and quickly set about imposing themselves on the Argentina defence. Their efforts paid off in the 41st minute as a brilliant tackle by Flanker Adam van Stavern saw possession find its way to the hands of Mark Tarver, who evaded two tackles before handing off to Derek Townsend to charge over. Rhone made no mistake with the conversion as the deficit was cut to just five points.
Building on that momentum, Canada overturned the deficit completely just six minutes later with their third try of the evening. Kol Henrickson broke through the Italian defensive line before racing clear to score. Rhone again added the extras to give his side the lead for the first time with the score at 19-17.
It was an advantage that did not last long, however, as within two minutes Italy went back ahead through another Pez penalty giving his side a 20-19 lead with ten minutes remaining.
Back came Canada with a penalty of their own courtesy of Rhone to snatch back the advantage in the 53rd minute, setting up a thrilling finale.
As the clock ticked into added time Italy gained a line out deep into Canadian territory as they aimed to set up a final play. Keeping possession, three phases of play followed before Italy were handed a golden opportunity to claim victory with a penalty awarded 25-yards out in front of the posts much to the disbelief of the Canada bench.
As everyone inside North Field held their breath, Pez proved the calmest man in the vicinity, striking the ball sweetly through the posts to snatch victory and send the Italian bench into rapturous celebrations.
Tries: Townsend, 41, Henrickson, 47. Penalties: Rhone, 53. Conversions: Stephens, 19, Rhone, 41, 47.
Tries: Davide Giazzon, 14, 23. Penalties: Pez, 9, 49, 80+4. Conversions: Pez, 14, 23.

DNA Surface Characterization Using Second Harmonic Generation and Contact-Angle GoniometryPublic Deposited
Chip-based devices and biosensors incorporate the attachment of biomolecules at interfaces. The behavior of biomolecules at the surface and interfaces differs from the behavior of biomolecules in the bulk solution. Surface-analysis techniques are therefore required to characterize these interfaces. Second harmonic generation (SHG) has been used to characterize DNA on a quartz lens to model biomolecules at the surface. Optimization of the surface-attachment procedure using contact-angle goniometry is necessary to optimize the results of laser experiments. Contact-angle goniometry is used to optimize surface preparation parameters, such as concentration of NHS, concentration of water, reaction time, and various cleaning strategies. Studying DNA surfaces can assist with improvements in DNA detection systems for biodiagnostics by determining important structural information about the biomolecules.

HGTC training students in field of sports tourism
Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:30:36 GMT —
Horry Georgetown Technical College has been given the go-ahead to develop an Associate's Degree in Sports Tourism. It will be the only 2-year program of its kind in South Carolina.
"People are beginning to call us and ask us how soon will we offer the program. Even statewide, some of the vice presidents are saying we're interested in knowing about how many jobs are going to be available for students who graduate from the program," Dr. Marilyn Fore, Vice President of HGTC said.
The decision to move forward with the program was approved Tuesday but Dr. Fore said it all started as a discussion between city leaders from North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach and HGTC. With new sports complexes in the works all across the area, they agreed there's a need for people to work at them.
"As soon as a business tells us they need someone trained, we listen, we respond, and we create a program when there's a demonstrated need for that," Dr. Fore said.
Right now, they're in the planning stages of the curriculum. The degree will focus on giving students the tools they need to work at any of the sports complexes and recreational facilities planned for the Grand Stand.
"They're going to need a very strong foundation in marketing, financial management, personnel management, supervisory skills, so it will go from also the background of understanding the sport and being able to coordinate all of that knowing the rules of the sports, but also the business aspects to make sure the facility is well run," Dr. Fore said.
City leaders from Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach have been key players in studying the impact of sports tourism on the area and the need for training people in the industry.
Matt Gibbons, Superintendent of Sports Tourism in North Myrtle Beach, said sports tourism is a billion dollar industry worldwide, and is growing rapidly in the area.
"This area is a perfect example of the type of impact and economic development that is made possible through sports tourism. I can't think of a better setting for this program that here in Horry County at HGTC," Gibbons said in a statement to NewsChannel 15.
The program still needs state approval before it can become official, but Dr. Fore said some of the required courses will be already available by next spring.

I’m happy to announce I will once again be at Denver Comic Con this year, June 30-July 2 at the Colorado Convention Center. I’ll be at booth 650 in the Merchant Mesa. While I will be doing personalized zombie and pony caricatures of again attendees this year, and signing copies of my books and selling art, (some which will debut at my booth), it might be easier to converse with me at some of the pre-DCC events I will be a part of including the following:
Prelude: Indy Illustrator and Comic Artist Showcase Opening at Spectra Art Space, Friday, June 23rd from 7 pm – midnight. The gallery will be exhibiting original pages from Regret: A Cancer Survivor’s Story and doing a 9 pm reading and signing copies of the book.

Finally, for those of you who will be at DCC, here’s a little interview that will get you primed for what to expect from me, courtesy of Groovey TV:

St. John's Athletics Holds New Student-Athlete Orientation|
Aug. 31, 2011
QUEENS, N.Y.- Incoming St. John's student-athletes took their first step in preparing for their Red Storm careers by participating in new student-athlete orientation on Monday, Aug. 29. The 2011-12 St. John's athletic season kicked off in earnest with the day-long event that introduced the newcomers to the expectations, values and traditions that comprise Red Storm athletics. The event was organized for the first-year and transfer student-athletes by Director of Athletics Chris Monasch and the staff of Student Development.
Returning St. John's student-athletes served as orientation leaders, providing insight on their athletic and academic experiences thus far. The upperclassmen will continue to mentor small groups of new student-athletes throughout the year. As part of their orientation, the incoming class went through a variety of meetings which included talks with their individual academic advisor, campus minister and sports psychology consultant.
"We want to set the tone for what it is like to be a St. John's student-athlete," said Eric Rienecker, Director of Academic Support for Student-Athletes. "We have a theme at St. John's of 'Win. Graduate. Serve.' We expect our student-athletes to win on the athletic fields, win in the classroom, graduate and serve the community."
The day finished with the 2011 St. John's Tailgate in Carnesecca Plaza which provided an opportunity for the entire student body to celebrate St. John's athletics. Free food, live music and games highlighted the event that lasted into the early evening. The event was co-sponsored by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Greek Life, Student Government Inc., RedZone School Spirit Committee, and Campus Activities.
