Chapter Five-Cally's POV
I left the meeting first, but didn't go directly back to my room. I checked out the training room, first. I was glad to see the room was stocked with all manner of weaponry, as well as stationary dummies and boxing bags. I suspect that I'll be down here more often than I'd expect. I slipped up the stairs undisturbed. The rest of the gamers were still being talked to by their shinigami. I pushed open the door to my bedroom and was welcomed by a blast of heat from the fireplace. I turned the temperature down and changed into a camisole and shorts to sleep in. It'd been a long day, and I had no wish to remain with the awake and undead. I snuggled into my blanket and drifted into a restless sleep. My dreams were drenched in coagulated blood and confusion. This dream state was something that was only partly solid, and yet never solid enough to really see anything real. It was more of a feeling than a dream. Faces slipped in and out of my mind like an old movie reel. A person walked towards me and waved, smiling like we were good friends. I smiled back at him and prepared to wave back at them, but then I noticed something odd about his eyes. There were wells of blackness where his eyes should have been. They were endless voids, like wells of shadows. He reached out for me, and I was unsure of what to do, so I took a step back. The floor wasn't solid, so I began to fall. I was certain that I would fall forever, never being a part of reality again.
"Hey, bozo! Wake up?"
I forced my eyes open to stare into Serenity's severely pissed off face.
"What's wrong?" I propped myself up on one arm.
"Would you kindly explain why you can't go five minutes without talking in your sleep?"
"Either shut up, or go away. I want my beauty sleep," she flounced away.
"Goodness knows you need that," I snarkily replied to her back. I pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans over my boy shorts and didn't bother pulling on something on top of my camisole. I slipped out of the room, trying not to disturb Serenity further. I remembered dreaming about something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I just remember not liking the dream too much. I closed the door softly and trotted silently down the stairs the training room. I figured now is as good of a time as any to begin working out protective strategies. I flicked on the lights as I entered the spacious training room after placing my hand on the touch pad to the left of the door. If the laws of mass, logic, space, and physics applied in this world, there would be no way for this room to exist, I realized as I opened the door. This room couldn't possibly fit inside the house. It currently looked like a martial artist's dream, complete with all sorts of munitions, bags, and swords. I grabbed a swordstaff off of its rack on the wall and felt its edge, wincing as it pricked my thumb. I licked the dot of blood from my thumb and continued feeling along the staff portion of the weapon. I tested its weight and balance by going through some simple formations. I practiced with the swordstaff for almost an hour, working up a decent sweat. I focused on the swings and jabs of the weapon instead of the situation I was in, lest I go mad in this world because of the knowledge that such a place exists. When I tired of the reputations, I moved on to hand-to-hand combat training, specifically Tae Kwon Do. I beat on the training dummies and bags until the stuffing was filling the air with dust.
"Wouldn't it do you more good to fight something that could fight back? At your current level, tenderizing stuffed vinyl bags won't help you," Alex's cocky voice came from the door as he entered the room.
I growled under my breath. "What're you doing here?" I asked impatiently.
"Hey, I'm not the one who's been here since three am."
"I couldn't sleep," I supplied an answer for his unasked question.
"Oh, I figured you just liked to sleep-fight. Why would I care if you couldn't sleep, dumbass?"
I shot a glare in his direction. "Was that an offer to be my punching bag I heard, angry-boy? I think it was."
"No," he shook his head, grabbing a staff off of the wall and testing its weight before setting it down and reaching for another one. "I'm offering to let you learn stuff instead of being stuck in the same pattern of immobile targets."
I whacked his hand with the butt of the swordstaff I'd discarded earlier, forcing him to drop his staff. "I'm game. Don't run off crying if you lose." I was thrilled at the concept of a spar, especially when I have a chance to beat the tar out of Alex. "No holds barred?" I asked, a cunning grin slipping past my calculated emotionless gaze.
"None. But for this purpose, we should leave our powers out of it. We're training for protection, which means no cheating," Alex suggested.
I grabbed hold of a decimated punching bag and sprang towards Alex, stabbing at his neck with my swordstaff. "No sense in waiting to get started, then," I smirked as he dodged the blow. I jabbed at his neck, wincing as it was deflected by an invisible force. In the second that I wasted by going for a killshot, Alex reached toward the wall and snatched a double edged broadsword from it. I don't know why he would choose a sword, since my swordstaff has a much longer range than his sword. I didn't have any more time to waste pondering it, because Alex thrust his sword at the wooden part of the swordstaff, hacking a hunk of wood out from just behind where the metal connects to the staff. I cursed and wheeled away, circling him. I waited until my back was to the weapons wall, which would be both a curse and a blessing. I could grab the weapons I needed and prevent Alex from grabbing any more weapons, but a well-timed thrust from Alex could send me to be impaled on the very weapons I wanted to use. I defended against an onslaught of quick jabs and parries, only managing to go on the offensive towards the end, as he slowed down. I groaned inwardly as the staff snapped in two where Alex had taken a chunk out a few minutes earlier. I held the staff out in front of me with one hand, reaching behind me with the other to grasp a set of throwing knives. He eyed my move and reacted swiftly, jabbing towards my throat. The blow deflected itself and I used to opening to throw the broken end of the staff like a spear at his knee. The sharp, broken point of the staff didn't stab through flesh as I'd hoped, but merely made him stumble backwards. On his way backwards, he rapped my wrists with the flat side of his sword. I muttered profanities as I dropped the knives and dropped into a roll as he slashed at me, already recovered. I kicked out at his bad knee, felling him again. He tossed his sword to the side to avoid impaling himself. I took the opportunity to jump onto his back. I clung like a monkey as he spun around, trying to dislodge me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, choking him. He slammed me into a wall repeatedly, trying to remove me. I tightened my grip and grit my teeth, not releasing him as he'd wished. He growled and gripped the back of my head, tearing at my hair until he got a grip on my neck. I saw stars as my head smashed into the floor as he flipped me off of his back by pushing on some pressure points in my neck to cause momentary paralysis. He held down my legs with his knees and my wrists with my hands.
"Girls are weaker than boys," he stated, gloating. "It's a fact of life. Now, ready to give up?" He was breathing heavily.
I glared at him and spat on his cheek.
"Never," I hissed. I smashed my head into his forehead. He recoiled swiftly, giving me just enough time to get to my feet and get into a defensive position. "Just so you know," I bit out my words, "That's a generalization. And it doesn't apply to me."
"What the hell are you two doing at four AM?" Derek's voice interrupted our battle and I felt my battle lust subside. Now that I had an audience, I had no wish to fight.
"They're very interesting to watch, I must admit." I whirled around to see Shanaia sitting in the corner of the room.
"How-" I paused and tried again. "When did you get here?" I wasn't used to her uncanny ability to be unseen and unheard when she wished.
"About the same time Alex took a chunk out of your swordstaff."
"So, pretty much since the beginning."
"Lovely." I closed my eyes.
"Um, Cally?"
"Behind you."
I turned my head in time to take a direct blow to the side of my head. I swore as I felt myself begin to lose consciousness. As I fell, Alex bent down next to me and whispered his parting words in my ear.
"Never turn your back on your enemy, idiot."
"Cally…" Brenda's voice, dangerously low, cut through my unconscious stupor. She shook me and my eyes flew open as she called my name again.
"What? What? I'm up-" I winced as my head throbbed. "Oh, yeah."
"Don't you 'oh, yeah,' me, missy! What the hell are you doing, fighting with Alex before dawn? How stupid are you?" She reprimanded me.
"Could you not yell, please?" I asked meekly, rubbing my temples.
"Oh, does your head hurt? Well, it's your own damn fault. You'll get no sympathy from me! I'll yell if I want. It serves you right, anyways!"
"How do I deserve you yelling at me? I learned my lesson," I protested. "I got decked in the head. Isn't that enough punishment?"
"Obviously not, if I'm yelling at you. What lesson did you learn, exactly?"
"Don't turn your back on your enemy until they're dead."
She thwacked me over the head with her hand. "That's not what you were supposed to say. You were supposed to have learned not to go around fighting everybody. You know that if you get knocked around too much it'll set off your condition when you need it to be gone the most."
"Would you stop treating me like an child? It's none of your concern what I do and what affects me." I hopped to my feet and helped Brenda up from her squatted position before turning on my heel and stalking out of the training room and slamming the door on the way out. She tried to call my name, but I ignored her and stormed through the front hall, heading for the porch. I climbed onto the railing and leaned against a support pillar. I know Brenda cares for me, but I don't want her treating me like a child. I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to do something that would purposely harm or kill me. I sighed and cleared my mind of any thoughts aside from the feeling of the demon world's cool dawn. The moon was always out, so I could only judge the time by the feel of the day. I began to doze off, managing to stay upright and balanced. The hum of wings was surprisingly comforting, although they might be attached to whatever was going to someday tear me apart. I slipped further asleep, succumbing to the calling of the comfortable sleep that I'd given up earlier to the nightmares. My eyes snapped open moments before something placed their cool hand onto my head. I'd been given warning by the crack of a small broken branch on the ground. I instinctively smashed into their jaw with a swift left uppercut. They staggered backwards and I leapt into the ready position, prepared to destroy anything that moves.
"Owwww," Tai winced and rubbed his jaw, snapping it back into place. He spat out a tooth and a good deal of blood. "What was that for?" He ground his teeth and a new tooth popped up where the old one had broken off.
"Well," I sheepishly replied, still miffed, "you shouldn't have snuck up on me. Especially when I'm sleeping."
"Maybe you shouldn't be sleeping where everything can sneak up on you. Also, what'd you do to yourself?" He reached towards my head, where I imagine more than a few bruises are forming. I took a step back to avoid his touch and he lowered his hand. "I imagine that there are more bruises than the three I can see," he commented, motioning towards my head and wrists.
"They're fine."
"Liar. I'll ask again. What'd you do?"
I hesitated, not intending to tell Tai anything. He gave me a disapproving look, knowing that I'd probably lie. I decided to tell him the truth, this time. "I was training against one of the gamers. He knocked me out. I was stupid, I know. Don't say anything." I assumed that he'd look down on me for being another weak girl.
"What makes you think that I would say anything? It looks like it was a long, evenly matched fight. Plus, a knockout blow from behind doesn't count. Nice goose egg, by the way."
"How could you possibly tell that it was a long fight, let alone a fair one?"
"From the bruises and from your hands. I didn't say that it was a fair fight. It looks like the only way he knocked you out was from a blow from behind, which is the coward's way of fighting. I said that it was an even fight. You have the grain of your weapon ingrained in your hand, and they're still red, white, and raw from fighting. You put up a good fight. Also, your knuckles are bruised from more than a few blows I'd assume. You have offensive wounds as well as defensive wounds. You did well. I'm sure you could have gone on longer if you hadn't gotten surprised. You seem like a stubborn person. In the meantime, I intend to take you somewhere to show you more of this realm."
"Oh, is that right?" I was still mistrustful of him, regardless of the flattery he'd just bestowed upon me. "Or are you going to take me somewhere where you could take advantage of me?"
"I guess you'll have to go with me to find out! Besides, would it really be taking advantage of you if you liked it?" He grinned cockily.
"You're disgusting." I turned around to go back into the house. My feet froze to the ground, and I began to fall face first. Tai grabbed my waist and hoisted me up a split second before I hit the ground.
"You know, I could just take you with me. You have no idea what I'm capable of. But I'm being nice, see?" His breath tickled my ear.
I jabbed my elbow into his solar plexus. He winced, but didn't release me. "Maybe I'd be more willing to go with you if you weren't always acting like a lecher.
"But it's fun to make you all bothered."
"Maybe for you, but I on the other hand, don't like it."
"That's the point. Don't make me control your whole body. I can, and might even want to; depending on the conditions, but now isn't the place for those sorts of things. Not yet. Although, if you want me to, I'm always up for a new experience."
I slapped him. He released me, frowned, and then smirked.
I hate it when he smirks.
Apparently, I had a reason to hate it.
He whistled sharply and the gentle morning breeze turned into a full-scale gale. I gripped the porch's wooden posts, only to lose my grip and stumble towards him. He picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and hopped into the air. The wind died down once we were a few hundred feet into the air.
"Payback for slapping, punching, and elbowing me," he jeered, drifting higher and higher into the air. I glanced at the ground and shuddered. He grabbed my hands and pulled me off of his shoulder to dangle me in the air in front of him. I gasped and dug my nails into his arm so he couldn't let me go. He rolled his eyes. "Stand up."
"What?" I looked at him frantically. He released my arms and I almost screamed, but I kept my grip.
"Stand up, damn it! We're ridding you of your irrational fear of heights. You won't fall, so stand up!" He held me out at arm's length, using the wind to force me to release my grip on his arm. I struggled against the wind until I had no choice but to let him go. "Calm down. You're safe. I'm not going to let you fall."
I peeked downward and gulped. Everything was so far below me. I was surprised to find that the ground was solid under my feet. "I'm not scared of heights," I shivered.
"No?" He looked at me dubiously.
"I'm scared of hitting the ground. If I know I won't fall, I'm not scared."
"What about sky diving?"
"As long as I have a parachute, I'm good," I informed him, treading around in the sky.
He shook his head and laughed at me. "Okay, you're fine when we're still. What if we're flying?"
"Um, I don't know if…" We took off through the sky, heedless of speed limits or gravity. I did my best to balance like a surfer and I managed to stay upright.
"Woo!" I cried excitedly.
"Kind of exhilarating, isn't it?" He grinned as I tumbled through the air, wheeling in midair flips and cartwheels.
"Yeah, now that you mention it," I smiled. This was better than any motorcycle ride back on Earth.
"All right, I'll take over for now. You did well for your first flight, but this area tends to be turbulent. Come here." He pulled the wind towards him, pulling me with it. I sighed in disappointment as he gripped my wrist and folded my body close to his. We were off, the wind snatching at my skin and clothes, tangling my hair with branches and leaving small bruises where pebbles nicked my face. I watched the landscape shift and change over time, like Earth's climate zones in fast forward. We began a slow descent, brushing the tips of branches with our feet. He set me down gently so as not to slam me into the boulders.
"We'll walk from here. Flying into the big city isn't a smart idea, unless your goal is to be as conspicuous as possible."
I nodded, still slightly wary of his presence. At least he hasn't tried to eat me, yet. I stared at his back as he headed towards a beaten path. I started to follow him once he was a good hundred feet ahead of me. He glanced behind him and rolled his eyes, motioning for me to catch up to him. I shook my head and he shrugged, continuing on his way with a lackadaisical flick of his fingers. I relaxed, glancing around my surroundings. The trees looked like oak trees from Earth, except the bark oozed sap like a perforated lump of scar tissue oozes blood. I would have touched it to see if it was sticky or runny, but I stopped dead as a winged earthworm flew in front of me to light upon the tree. As it touched down, my hands flew to cover my ears as a horrible scream came from the worm and I smelt burnt flesh as I watched the worm sizzle and squirm in the trap of the tree's sap. My eyes widened and I hurried forward as Tai was even further ahead of me, now that I'd paused. Screw being wary of Tai. I might as well stick with him and have someone who understands this weird world on my side. Choosing the lesser of two evils, I guess. I could see a gate up ahead with twisted barbed wire, iron wrought vines, and brass buds twining around the steel bars of the gates. Tai lounged against the brick walls connected to the gate, waiting for me with the catlike gleam of a predator in his gaze. He held out his hand, beckoning me to join him as he stepped through the gate with a nod to their guards. I hesitated, but he took me by my elbow and guided me through the gate.
"The guards kill the city's visitors once in a while, depending on what side the coin lands on, heads or tails." He motioned to a large coin perpetually being flipped midair in a glass case on the city side of the brick wall. "It's good to have luck on your side," Tai grinned. "Or, in this case, a demon who can control air, and thus control what side the coin lands on." He stuck his tongue out at the guard-demon's backs. I giggled nervously, wondering if it might be best to keep to the relative safety within Tai's arms. I made my decision when a giant troll demon leered down at me from a storefront. Placing myself so that Tai's arm would rest around my shoulders, I tried to get comfortable despite being stared at. Tai wrapped an arm around my waist instead. "Don't be worried," he breathed in my ear, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. "I'll protect you. But your instincts were right. That storekeeper is known for keeping any female demon he takes a liking to. Making it clear you're already taken will help you, for now."
"Taken?" I asked, not liking how that sounded.
"Well, you look like a succubus and you're in the big city. It appears to everyone that I've taken you for my own personal use, whether that's true or not doesn't have to be any of their concern." He lifted my chin with his strong hand and kissed me lightly on my lips to emphasize the façade to anyone looking.
"If that's what they're looking for, baby, then, let's give it our all, shall we?" I was feeling decidedly giddy and slightly punch drunk because of the strange, dangerous situations I'd continuously been in the last day. I nibbled a line of sweetly delicate love bites along the edge of his jaw. I smirked up at him through my eyelashes and automatically dodged a watermelon sized bug flying past my head. I was shocked out of my reverie, and jumped away from Tai in my effort to avoid being decapitated. I looked behind me and shrieked. A horde of the same type of bugs was covering the city wall behind us and roiling over the edge. Tai merely grinned and handed me a razor sharp root he'd taken out of the ground as soon as he'd heard the drumming of wings and hefted the dagger he'd pulled out of his belt. He ran his fingers along both edges of the sharpened blade, slitting open his skin and coating the blade in his blood and laughing maniacally.
"Time to earn your stripes, girlie!"

Hi, i have overactive sebum production that makes my face extremely oily and having small occassional breakouts despite good topical regimen with oral doxycycline. done few laser sessions for oil reduction but to no avail. i asked this qn before on realself and was advised to start on low dose accutane. So what is the recommended dosage that i should take to acheive significant oil reduction and yet agains safe for me to go outdoors. i am serving my national millitary conscription. thank you
What Dosage of Accutane Should I Use to Reduce Sebum?
Doctor Answers 4
Lo Dose Isotretinoin for oil reduction
I use what i call the Lo Dose regimen, 10mg on Mondays and Thursdays to start. This reduces oil and has no side-effects that I have seen. I also like to use OC8, an oil control gel.
Intermittent low dose maintenance accutane therapy protocol
maintenance therapy post accutane treatment--- easiest is 20 mg once a week !!!
Oily skin controlled with low dose Isotretinoin
Isotretinoin (eg. Accutane) is very effective for the management of excessively oily skin. I often find 10mg 1-2x a week may be all that is needed to control your oily skin.
It is best to consult with your Board Certified Dermatologist, so they can work with you to find the proper dose. Also, you want to make sure you are a good candidate, have periodic lab monitoring for side-effects, and, for females, to adhere to proper pregnancy prevention.

The dosage of Accutane will be determined be the prescribing physician. Patients do not get to determine their dosage. It will be up to the prescribing doctors experience with the medication not what the patient tells them to prescribe. This is a great forum to ask other experts for their experience, but ultimately patients need to understand the Internet is no substitute for a one on one doctor patient visit.

Is there a link between rising social hostility towards religion and rising governmental restrictions on religion? The new Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life study, "Rising Restrictions on Religion" released on 9 August (see below), not only shows a recent increase in governmental and other restrictions on religion in 23 countries (including some very populous ones), it also indicates increased social hostilities towards some or all religions in many parts of the world, including Europe. Five of the ten countries cited for "substantial" increases in social hostilities are members of the Council of Europe (Bulgaria, Denmark, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom). Fortunately for Europeans, COE members are not yet included among top countries for either existing government restrictions or social hostilities, but the trends are not so promising.
Pew attributes some of the rising restrictions to increased hostilities. "Much of the tension in Europe focused on the region's rapidly growing Muslim population, but in some cases it also reflected rising anti-Semitism and antagonism toward Christian minorities, such as Jehovah's Witnesses." Hostilities and restrictions often feed on each other. Minarets are restricted in Switzerland, religious clothing is regulated in France or Belgium, and anger arises among those affected who see their fundamental rights and values as having been compromised. Even the extreme case of Norway's horrific terrorist shootings cannot be viewed as outside the perimeter of this problem.
The solution to increased hostility and extremist actions however is likely not to be found in ratcheting up the restrictions on religious belief and behavior. Severe governmental responses too often threaten what believers hold most dear. Solutions are more likely to be found in fostering an atmosphere of tolerance and respect which provides security in the rights of believers and nonbelievers alike.
To evoke Voltaire's wise observation of many years ago: "If there were only one religion in England there would be danger of despotism, if there were two, they would cut each other's throats, but there are thirty, and they live in peace and happiness." Thus the paradox of religious freedom: the greater diversity of religion in any society, the greater peace, tolerance and respect prevail. This edition of the Strasbourg Newsletter casts an eye once more on the health of the religious freedom paradox within Europe's borders. We look at, among other things, the Swiss minaret decisions, Jehovah's Witnesses cases in Armenia and France, and newly communicated cases in Romania and Turkey. We also offer a glimpse at recent and upcoming publications and conferences. We invite readers to submit information on their own publications and scholarly events for possible circulation to the many European Court and religious freedom followers who receive the Strasbourg Newsletter.

TRENTON, Ga. -- Last year, the sound of wailing sirens and people crying for help filled the air as the smell of leaking gas drifted through town.
A year later, savory barbecue wafted down the street and kids laughed as they zipped down a bouncy slide.
People laughed, hugged each other and talked about rebuilding projects as they gathered at a block party around the Trenton courthouse Friday evening.
"It's a day we'll always remember, but it's a day I hope we'll never go through again," said Ted Rumley, Dade County executive, before he unveiled a memorial in the front courthouse lawn. "Everyone will always remember where they were that night."
Rebuilding in the small town continues, but the signs of the storm still can be seen everywhere in the twisted, mangled trees. Some houses still have blue tarps -- now shredded and flapping in the wind -- and boarded-up windows.
Many other homes and businesses are rebuilt. Moore Funeral Home, one of the hardest-hit businesses, is almost completed.
Like in many other areas, dozens of volunteers have helped in the effort. Friday's event was a way to thank and remember everyone who contributed so much to the small town, Rumley said.
But Friday was also a time to remember those who died.
The memorial names the two men who died in the tornado that night, only about a block from each other -- Donnie Walston and Jerry Williams Sr.
Relatives of both helped to unveil the memorial.
It has been a tough year, said Jerry Williams Jr. as he walked away afterward.
His 49-year-old father loved fishing, raising chickens and working on trucks, he said.
"It's nice that the community did this," he said. "It makes you feel like you're not the only one."

Dan Smith Facing Challenge From Greg Merson In Major POY Races
With only six weeks left in the 2012 tournament poker calendar – and the reality that there is only about four weeks left, as players will take a break for the end of year holidays – Dan Smith is facing a severe challenge from 2012 World Series of Poker Championship Event winner Greg Merson as the major Player of the Year races head into the homestretch.
In September, Smith emerged as the leader on the top three POY races in the poker world, but Merson's run to poker's World Championship earlier this month has moved the needle to make him a contender. In two of the races, Smith holds on to his lead, but in one it is Merson who has moved into the pole position.
On the Bluff Magazine POY race, Merson has surpassed Marvin Rettenmaier with his 1157.55 points, good enough to move into second place behind Smith's 1288.51 total. Back in September, Smith led Rettenmaier by 154 points; with Merson's performance at the WSOP Championship Event, he sits only 130 points back, within striking distance should Merson make another run at a title over the next four weeks.
Another newcomer to the Bluff Magazine POY Top Ten is Joseph 'subiime' Cheong, who has used a stirring run over the past few months to get into the race. The fourth place finisher at the WSOP Europe in September, Cheong has added three more final table finishes since then to earn almost over $700,000. He currently sits in fourth place on Bluff's POY with 961.42 points.
The top five is rounded out by none other than Phil Hellmuth, who used his WSOP Europe championship to move into the fifth place slot (his first appearance in the Bluff Top Ten) with 915.64 points. Phil Ivey, who has been quiet on the tournament poker scene of late, has dropped down to sixth place (904.17), with Michael Mizrachi, Ole Schemion, Jonathan Duhamel and Kyle Julius rounding out the Top Ten. Dropping off the list since September are Vanessa Selbst, Oliver Speidel, Tommy Vedes, Daniel Negreanu and John Dolan.
The CardPlayer Magazine Player of the Year race is where the change on the top has come. Merson, using his two WSOP bracelet wins, has surpassed Smith at the top of the ladder in holding 5100 points. Smith is within striking distance of the new World Champion, however, with the 4625 points that he has accrued to this point. Julius, who is in the #10 spot on the Bluff POY, dropped to third place (3752 points) with Merson's rise to the top of the CardPlayer POY.
Cheong's late calendar run has moved him into fourth place (3590) on the CardPlayer POY, with Rettenmaier dropping to fifth (down from third in September). Hellmuth also has moved into the battle on the CardPlayer rankings, landing in sixth place with 3210 points. Rounding out the Top Ten are Speidel, Anthony Gregg, Schemion (the final champion on the Partouche Poker Tour) and Mizrachi, with Vadzim Kursevich, John DiBella and Daniel Kelly falling off the Top Ten.
The Global Poker Index POY Top Ten is the only ranking which hasn't been impacted by Merson's WSOP run. On that ranking, you have to look all the way down to #47 to find the World Champion, but at the top it hasn't changed. Smith leads this race also with 1098.80 points, leading Rettenmaier (966.63) by a 132 point margin.
Julius has moved up on the GPI POY, leaping from ninth to third since September with his 906.02 points, and Hellmuth slides into the GPI mix in fourth place with 846.83 points. Cheong enters the GPI Top Ten also, holding down fifth place with 829.48 points.
It is at the bottom of the GPI Top Ten where some new names enter the picture. Andrew Lichtenberger is currently in sixth place (819.75 points), while Justin Bonomo, David 'ODB' Baker, Negreanu and Jason Mercier round out the roster. Erik Cajelais, Jason Koon, Duhamel and Ivey have fallen out of the GPI Top Ten to accommodate the new entries (Hellmuth, Cheong, Bonomo and Mercier).
Over the next four weeks, the champions of the various Player of the Year races will be determined. With the World Poker Tour (two stops) the World Series of Poker Circuit (two stops) and the European Poker Tour (one stop) all with tournaments that will be concluded by the middle of December (among other major tournaments), the next month of play will be watched closely in regards to the different POY battles. Can Dan Smith close the deal? Will Greg Merson make another run in a big event? Or will one of those players "back in the pack" surpass them both?

text: RNS Number : 3182A SABMiller PLC 31 July 2008 31 July 2008 SABMiller plc Trading Update At the Annual General Meeting of SABMiller plc (SABMiller) today, Graham Mackay, chief executive of SABMiller, commented on the group's performance for the three months ended 30 June 2008*. The calculation of the organic growth rates detailed below excludes volumes for acquired businesses for the first 12 months after an acquisition. Mr Mackay said: 'The group recorded 1.5% growth in lager volumes. As expected organic volume performance was subdued, with lager volumes down 1.6% following the extraordinarily high growth of 13% in the prior year comparative period and reflecting lower volumes in China and the moderation of consumer spending in some markets. Group revenue growth has remained firm and financial performance in the quarter was in line with the group's expectations, although the challenging trading environment in South Africa impacted financial performance there. 'In Latin America, lager volumes for the quarter were in line with the prior year, following double digit growth in the comparative period. However, lager volumes in Colombia were 4% below the prior year, as retail price increases and high consumer lending rates continued to inhibit consumer demand. In Peru, lager volumes were 3% ahead of the prior year, with recent share gains in a market that remains highly competitive. Our business in Ecuador delivered strong performance with 14% lager volume growth as the market responded to the reinvigoration of the brand portfolio and route to market. 'In Europe organic lager volume growth was 1%, following the exceptionally strong volume growth of 17% in the prior year comparative period. Poland achieved organic domestic volume growth of 6%, notwithstanding a challenging comparative, driven by the Tyskie and Zubr brands, and has increased market share. Romanian volumes grew by 22%, ahead of the market, led by the continuing success of the Timisoreana brand. Volumes in Russia fell by 2% in a market which was estimated to be down slightly. Czech Republic domestic volumes declined by 10% reflecting the cooler weather in the current year and consumer reaction to sharply increasing inflation and beer price increases. 'In North America, pricing remained strong but Miller's US domestic volume sales to retailers (STRs) decreased by 2.0% compared to the prior year. Miller Lite brand volumes were 1.6% lower than the prior year, Miller High Life grew 0.9%, Milwaukee's Best declined 5.5% whilst STRs of the worthmore portfolio increased by 8.1% with Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Miller Chill, Sparks and Leinenkugel's continuing to generate good growth. 'In our Africa and Asia business, organic lager volumes declined 4%, with China organic volumes down 5% (prior year up 25%) affected by the earthquake in Sichuan and consumer price inflation combined with significant beer industry price increases. In Africa (excluding Zimbabwe), lager volumes grew by 8% on an organic basis, with a good start to the year across the region led by Zambia, Botswana and Angola. 'In South Africa, our lager volumes were down 3%. This reflects the strength of volumes in the comparative period of the prior year which were up 4% and the volume loss following the termination of a licensed premium brand with which we now compete. Nevertheless, current market share reflected quarter on quarter gains. Market volume and mix was negatively affected by softer consumer demand with retail sales under pressure from higher interest rates and increasing food and energy costs. Despite these pressures, soft drink volumes grew 3%. These factors, combined with ongoing cost inflation and the currency weakness, have impacted financial performance. 'We recently completed the acquisition of a 99.84% interest in the Ukrainian brewer, CJSC Sarmat, which is one of the largest brewers in the Ukraine with an annual production capacity of 2.9 million hectolitres. We also acquired the Russian brewer LLC Vladpivo, in June 2008. Vladpivo, the largest brewer in the Russian far-east Primorie region, is located near the city of Vladivostok and has an annual capacity of 1 million hectolitres. The integration of Grolsch is proceeding well, and we have recently acquired the US importation rights. 'On 30 June 2008 we announced the closing of the transaction with Molson Coors Brewing Company to combine our US and Puerto Rico operations. MillerCoors, which began operating as a combined entity on 1 July 2008, will have the scale, resources and distribution platform to succeed in the highly competitive US marketplace. 'On 17 July 2008 we completed a successful US$1.25 billion bond issue in two tranches: US$550 million of 5.5-year notes with a coupon of 5.70%; and US$700 million of 10-year notes with a coupon of 6.50%. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to repay certain existing indebtedness. On 28 July 2008, we announced the establishment of a Euro Medium Term Note Programme to allow us to further diversify our sources of funding in the future, although no notes are being issued under the programme at this time.' * Which constitutes SABMiller's Interim Management Statement for the same period. Ends Notes to editors: SABMiller plc is one of the world's largest brewers with brewing interests and distribution agreements across six continents. The group's wide portfolio of brands includes premium international beers such as Grolsch, Miller Genuine Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Pilsner Urquell, as well as market-leading local brands such as Aguila, Castle, Miller Lite, Snow and Tyskie. SABMiller is also one of the largest bottlers of Coca-Cola products in the world.

The ex-husband of Mildred "Patty" Baena, the alleged mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's love-child, is breaking his silence about his former wife's infidelity.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rogelio Baena says he thought Schwarzenegger's child, now 13 years old, was his own biological son all along. He learned that the boy was not his only one week ago.
He went on to call the situation a "betrayal."
Rogelio was married to Patty for ten years, and says he'd like to tell his son: "I am your father. That's all.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger for me, [was] my hero," he tells ET. "Maria is destroyed."
Despite encouraging her children with Schwarzenegger to "forgive their father," Maria Shriver, 55, is reportedly filing for divorce from her husband of 25 years later this week.

"Teen Mom" may have gone off the air eight months ago, but one of its stars, Farrah Abraham, has had no problem keeping herself in the spotlight. In one month's span, she was arrested for a DUI and admitted to making a pornographic film with adult-film star James Deen, causing her fans and critics to wonder: What the heck is she thinking?
Abraham will have to answer some tough questions when she sits down with Dr. Phil McGraw on Friday's episode of "The Dr. Phil Show."
Related: James Deen: I refused to pretend to date 'Teen Mom' Farrah
In a teaser clip for the episode, Dr. Phil confronts Abraham for driving drunk, but she refuses to take responsibility for her actions.
"I drove around a corner and parked," she tells him.
"So you were driving drunk?" he asks.
"I was actually parked, so, no, I was not driving drunk," Abraham answers, seeming annoyed that Dr. Phil was questioning her story.
Related: 'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham confirms sex tape: 'Something I personally needed for me'
In another segment of the teaser, Abraham downplays the fact that she filmed the adult movie, telling Dr. Phil, "I made my own personal video," and that she didn't care if the public wasn't buying her explanation. (Last week, Deen revealed that Abraham had made the film with the intention of leaking it as a sex tape.)
Abraham's father, Michael, and her mother, Debra Danielson, will also be featured on the episode and will speak out on their daughter's recent erratic behavior.
In the teaser, Abraham appears to become increasingly irritated at Dr. Phil throughout the interview, even telling him at one point, "I'm sorry I'm here."
Related:'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham downplays DUI arrest: 'I was sick'
Dr. Phil has little sympathy for the former MTV reality personality and continues to prod her.
"Unlike your mother I don't care if you throw a fit or don't," he tells her. "You're upset because I ask questions that you don't have good answers for."

Kiss'Em Goodbye
Seattle Mariners
Kiss 'Em Goodbye is a series focusing on MLB teams as their postseason dreams fade—whether in September (or before), the League Division Series, League Championship Series or World Series. It combines a broad overview of this season from Buster Olney, a take from Baseball Prospectus, a look toward an immediate 2011 move courtesy of Rumor Central and Kevin Goldstein's farm system overview. You can find all the teams on one page by going here.
Now, it's time to kiss the Seattle Mariners goodbye.
The overview
The fragile equation that had served the Mariners so well in 2009—strong defense and pitching making up for the lack of consistent offense—fell apart this year, and Seattle went on a downward spiral in the standings. Cliff Lee was hurt in spring training and unable to start the season on time; free-agent signing Chone Figgins was a complete bust; Ken Griffey Jr. was brought back despite the fact rival scouts thought his days as a productive player had ended, and the problems related to Griffey Jr.'s decline eventually led to the demise of manager Don Wakamatsu; the back end of the Mariners' rotation was erratic. Even when the Mariners flipped Lee in a trade for prospects, getting more in return than what they gave up to get Lee, the acquisition of a prospect with a very dark criminal history led to late-season turmoil in the front office.
Felix Hernandez somehow seemed to improve over his Cy Young-caliber season in 2009, maturing as a pitcher—and thankfully for the Mariners, he has made no noises (yet) about wanting to escape the team's dysfunction. Ichiro Suzuki is having a typical Ichiro season, but because of a lack of power and production in the middle of the Seattle lineup, Ichiro's many hits have gone to waste.
The firing of professional scouting director Carmen Fusco is being taken within the organization as a sign that GM Jack Zduriencik is on shaky ground. The Mariners might require a bounce-back season to prevent another round of change, and the problem is that Seattle appears to lack the kind of talent that can affect the necessary turnaround. The best hope for the 2011 Mariners might be that Justin Smoak and Dustin Ackley establish themselves quickly in the big leagues and help Seattle develop a functional offense. Short of that, the forecast for next year is not good. —Buster Olney, ESPN Insider
Baseball Prospectus' take
What went right: Hernandez proved once again he is among the top five starting pitchers in the game; his American League-leading 7.4 support neutral lineup-adjusted value above replacement (SNLVAR) figure much more indicative of his season than his 12-11 record. The Mariners showed good glove work as they are fourth in the AL in defensive efficiency, turning 70.4 percent of balls in play into outs.
What went wrong: The offense was awful and the Mariners are last in the majors with an average of 3.20 runs a game. Griffey Jr.'s second season in his second stint in Seattle ended badly as he failed to homer in 108 plate appearances, was caught napping in the clubhouse during a game, then abruptly retired. Wakamatsu was fired a year after being hailed in his rookie season for changing the attitude in the clubhouse and on the field.
The key number: 35. The number of times that the Mariners have scored five or more runs this season.
What won't happen again: The Mariners won't be rocking the baseball world with a big trade this upcoming winter as they did last December when they landed Lee from the Phillies. The Mariners' 85-77 record in 2009 was a fluke, as they allowed more runs than they scored and this year's 57-92 mark is quite indicative that they are more than one star pitcher away from winning a pennant. —John Perrotto, Baseball Prospectus
Rumor Central: 2011 options
The plan is key: With a plethora of holes, limited payroll space, and a franchise pitcher in desperate need of not only run support but quality rotation mates, the Mariners appear as if they'll be in the market for a lot of offense and at least one starting pitcher. But it all depends on which path the club decides to take. If they choose to use 2011 to further develop catcher Adam Moore, outfielder Michael Saunders, and Smoak, while awaiting the arrival of prospects Ackley and right-hander Michael Pineda, Zduriencik may seek the short-term stopgap, such as another year of slugger Russell Branyan or other similar veteran hitters. If the club chooses to stay on course—an attempt to contend while keeping an eye toward building a long-term contention window—names such as Jim Thome, Magglio Ordonez, or Lance Berkman may become options.
The starting rotation could use an experienced starter behind Hernandez, which might put Aaron Harang, who may have his option declined by the Reds, or Carl Pavano on the M's radar. It does not appear as if the club can afford to make Lee a competitive offer, however. Adding a veteran catcher such as Bengie Molina may not be out of the question, either, depending on cost and how much playing time the veteran would require.
Money, money, money: Unless the ownership group approves a significant payroll spike, Zduriencik may not have the flexibility to be active on the free-agent market, which likely means the club will be busy once again putting together trade proposals to land impact talent. If 2011 is to serve as somewhat of a developmental season, however, it will give the front office a chance to find answers at third base and designated hitter, and an opportunity to assess the futures of the rest of the roster.
Trading Figgins may be a top priority this winter, after the 32-year-old suffered a tough season at the plate and had a run-in with Wakamatsu. Shedding some of what is still owed on Figgins' contract—$26 million with a vesting option that guarantees another $9 million—could change the landscape of the franchise's offseason.—Jason Churchill, ESPN Insider
Keep up with Rumor Central year-round here.
Organizational future
Right-hander Daniel Cortes was seen as one of the better arms in the system when acquired from the Royals in the Yuniesky Betancourt deal last year, but inconsistency led to a 5.00-plus ERA as a starter. A massive, gangly power arm with complicated mechanics, Cortes' delivery would vary wildly from start to start, as would his velocity and command. A move to the bullpen late this season changed everything, as pitching from the stretch in short stints Cortes just let it fly, and the result was an unhittable fastball that got into the upper 90s. While he has his fair share of youthful indiscretions, they pale in comparison to Josh Lueke's situation, and with stuff being about equal, that alone puts him ahead on the depth charts for the Mariners' 2011 relief staff.—Kevin Goldstein, Baseball Prospectus

If you're keeping score at home, this is the second time that the ESPN Insider has brilliantly offered up Bengie Molina as some sort of solution (check the Royals' Kiss'Em Goodbye if you think I'm joking). Trading for Ryan Doumit and sticking him back behind the plate makes way more sense than that, and I came up with that idea in about 2 minutes...and that idea isn't even a good one.
Sep 20, 2010 00:55 AM
1 year of a cheap Molina is a much more sensible solution than trading a valuable prospect for a catcher who can't field any positions at an even average level. Both are terrible ideas, except that Molina would automatically be the 2nd biggest bat in that lineup, after Branyan. And isn't that sad?
Sep 20, 2010 06:54 AM
I think you're underestimating just how awful Molina has been - 5 HRs, ISO of .076 - not sure how that's a big bat anymore. How is this much different than what they're getting from Bard/Moore/Johnson this year? Plus, you put Molina's right-handed bat in Safeco, and any remaining power will vanish like a magic trick.
Sep 20, 2010 10:17 AM
Not so sure the Doumit idea is a bad one at all. Depth at C/OF/DH, 20-HR potential, he's hit better since going 'utility', probably could play some 1B and probably reasonably priced --- I think Simon C. should give it another two minutes and see what else he can come up with.
Sep 20, 2010 10:24 AM
That's all sorts of ridiculous. Doumit is 29 years old and has never hit more than 15 home runs in his 6-year career. Maybe if he got full-time play, but that's not good production from a corner outfielder or DH at all, and his power would be negated by Safeco also.
Sep 21, 2010 10:32 AM
Richard Bergstrom
Last year you could've picked up Miguel Olivo, John Buck, and quite a few other catchers who are better than Molina for cheap. Why pay anything for the privilege?

Dear BP,
Sep 20, 2010 08:04 AM
JZ had a short run as the darling GM. It seems like every few years the Mariners overachieve, trade for an ace left (Bedard or Lee), crash and burn, then contemplate getting rid of their GM.
Sep 20, 2010 08:40 AM
Complaining about ESPN content on here is as boring and predictable as posting "FIRST!" in the comments section.
Sep 20, 2010 08:42 AM
On topic, I selfishly would love to see Ichiro in a pennant race, playing for a contender. Please set him free, Jack Z.
Sep 20, 2010 08:45 AM
Isn't "massive, gangly" something of an oxymoron? One seems to say something like 6'8", 270#, and the other something like 6'8", 210#. What's Cortes really like, physically?
Sep 20, 2010 09:28 AM
Of all the things that have gone wrong - and clearly, there are plenty - isn't one of the few bright spots the step forward that the starters have taken this year? Besides Felix, Fister and Vargas have been as good as anyone could have possibly hoped. Wouldn't that imply the current catchers on the roster have handled the pitchers rather well?

I've been reading Jud Wilhite's new book Pursued and it's about the story of Hosea in the Bible. He was a prophet and God told him to marry a prostitute! The story obviously talks about marriage, but it's really a parallel to God's relationship with his people. It's about how he pursues us and loves us even when we're not fully understanding or seeking him.
The book talks about how we take the wrong approach when we think we've done certain things FOR God. So HE should be obligated to do certain things for US, such as forgive US or dump a ton of blessings in OUR life. However, Jud Wilhite says "that's like approaching God with a religious car salesman attitude."

Women's Soccer
Monte Vista women's soccer had an extremely challenging season this year. With only seven returning girls and 11 new players, the Mustangs had a lot to prove to their peers and to their community. Through weeks of hard work and perseverance, they grew as a team, and it began to show on the field.
The Mustangs scored nearly 30 goals during the 2008-09 season, and allowed only 13. Junior goalkeeper Jessie May helped lead her strong defense to 13 shutouts, after senior goalkeeper Taylor Gonzales became injured. Monte Vista women's soccer ended its season with 13-8-2 record.
"If you were to compare the beginning of our season to the end, it was like we were a whole new team," said senior captain Chloe Langon. "Each girl stepped up and I am so proud to have been part of the sisterhood."
Though the graduating players will be missed, the Mustangs are looking forward to another great season next year. "Our team was very close, and we became like a family," said junior Jessie Schiff. Five of the graduating seniors will be attending Division 1 colleges in the fall.
Men's Soccer
Monte Vista men's varsity soccer endured a season full of highs and lows. Scoring more than 40 goals, the Mustangs at times played great soccer. Captains Kevin Vaughan, Jeff Chavez and Parker Doliber led a team full of spirit, energy and determination, which was evident in last minute victories over Cal and Livermore. Unfortunately, the Mustangs fell short in their first round of North Coast Section, but overall can be proud of their achievements this season. With eight returning players and a talented group of underclassmen, Monte Vista men's soccer has a bright future ahead of it.
Women's Basketball
The Monte Vista women's basketball team challenged Amador Valley High School on Feb. 18 at their home court. The Mustangs outscored Amador by more than 40 points, with a final score of 75-33. After the game, the seniors on the team were honored. Head coach Ron Hirschman announced that Niveen Rasheed's jersey, No. 24, would be retired, so no future player could wear it. Rasheed plans on attending Princeton University next fall, on a basketball scholarship. Other seniors honored were Nichole Vigar, Alexandria Whalen, Kendyl Bachelor, Christie Beeman and Amil Amin.
On Saturday, Feb. 21, the Mustangs defeated the SRVHS Wolves, at Dougherty Valley High School, 63-30. Women's basketball finished EBAL with a 13-1 record, and will play their first round of NCS at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27, at home.
Men's Basketball
Monte Vista men's varsity basketball played Amador Valley High on Tuesday, Feb. 17. The Mustangs dominated the game, outscoring the Dons, 57-44. Senior captain Mark Appel helped give the Mustangs the lead, with 3 three-pointers.
The following Saturday, the Mustangs faced off against cross-town rivals San Ramon Valley High at Dougherty High School. Monte Vista took an early lead, and scored 10 consecutive points before the Wolves even got on the scoreboard. Seniors Taylor Brewster, Brian Barbour and Tyrelle Phillips took control of the court, and led their team to a huge victory. Monte Vista beat San Ramon, 67 to 54, giving them a 12-2 EBAL record.
The Mustangs are scheduled to play in their first round of NCS at 8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27, at their home court.
EBALS for varsity wrestling were held at Monte Vista on Saturday, Feb. 21. Two seniors, Alex Duran and Felix Manan, won their matches and are moving on to NCS. Juniors Vasili Karagiannis, Grant Dakin and Nick Ricart are moving on as well.
NCS will be held in Newark during the weekend of Feb. 28. From there, wrestlers who advance will move on to the state competition in Bakersfield.
by Tanner Himmelman
Men's Basketball
The regular season has finally come to an end for the Wolves basketball team. San Ramon ended the season third in EBAL behind only Monte Vista and De La Salle. The wolves did not end the regular season on a good note losing to both the mustangs and the Spartans. That's not how they wanted to enter the NCS playoffs but they are happy they got in.
Their first game was Wednesday, Feb. 24, against James Logan high school in Union City, and the Wolves were defeated, 56-48. The Wolves went into the playoffs as the nine seed and the Mustangs from James Logan high were the No. 3 seed. The Wolves needed solid play from star Chris Mc Nealy and the rest of the starters on the young Wolves team.
Chris, Tony Hernandez, Roy Ressas and C.J. Egan are the only returning varsity players from last year. The wolves hope to forget last year's early exit in the playoffs by making a run for the NCS championship.
Men's varsity soccer is playing in the NCS championship Saturday night. The first two rounds of the playoffs ended with both the men's and women's team advancing.
The boys, who were the No. 3 seed, defeated the Castro Valley Trojans 2-0 on Saturday; they then beat Richmond High, the No. 2 seed, 3-1 on Wednesday. The Wolves face De La Salle High at 7 p.m. at Dublin High School.
The women also are once again in the NCS playoffs as the No. 2 seed only behind the No. 1 team in the nation, the Foothill Falcons. The Wolves managed to get past the first round defeating the Granada Matadors, 3-2, in penalty kicks.
The next opponent was Clayton Valley on Wednesday night, and the Wolves won, 1-0. Next they face Foothill at 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, at Dublin High School for the NCS championship, the fourth in a row for the Lady Wolves.

Choosing high-quality hybrids
Page 1 of 2
Christine St Anne is Morningstar's online editor.
The recent article titled Overcoming hybrid insecurities delved into a number of risks surrounding hybrid investing. Price volatility, interest-rate risk, early redemption risk and maturity risk were just some of the common risks investors need to consider before investing in hybrids.
Another key risk was the threat of default from the companies issuing hybrid risks, also known as issuer risk.
Readers are no doubt aware of ASIC's repeated warnings about the viability of companies issuing hybrid securities. According to ASIC, hybrid securities may not always be safe despite being issued by reputable companies.
It can be tricky for investors to choose the quality hybrid securities that will give them both security of income and investment return. As the aforementioned article pointed out, the issuance of hybrid securities by Australian companies has been strong over the past year.
Morningstar recently introduced a credit pick list for interest-rate securities such as hybrids. To make this list, companies must have credit profiles that reflect their stability. Such credit profiles include no risk of default, credit deterioration or structural risk.
"This approach facilitates the likelihood of stable investor income over the life of the investment," Morningstar credit analyst Nicholas Yaxley says.
A key component in the assessment process is Morningstar's economic moat rating. An economic moat is a structural feature that allows a company to sustain excess returns over a long period of time.
Without a moat, profits are more susceptible to competition. Companies with a narrow moat are likely to achieve normalised excess returns beyond 10 years, while wide-moat companies are likely to sustain excess returns beyond 20 years.
Of course, the moat rating is not the only analytical tool used by Morningstar. Morningstar also looks at interest coverage and leverage ratios, debt covenants, cash flow variability and the use of free cash flow.
However, the moat rating allows Morningstar to focus on industry structure and competitive advantage in its issuer risk analysis.
"We are more likely to assign low or medium issuer risk ratings to firms with moats and more likely to assign high or speculative issue risk to firms without moats," Yaxley says.
So what sorts of companies are in the Morningstar credit pick list? Premium subscribers can get access to specific companies on this list in the article titled Moat-focused credit pick list.
All these companies share consistent characteristics. Companies with a moat rating have a natural defensive characteristic that insulates profits from competitive forces. This makes their credit quality less likely to suffer when negative factors arise and spreads are therefore less likely to blow out.

Having (thankfully!) never been tagged with the "Honest Scrap" meme that has been circulating, I began formulating a somewhat twisted alternative. The meme works as follows. You post five things about yourself. Four are untrue. One is true. All are so outlandish, implausible or ridiculous that no one would be inclined to believe that any of them are true. And despite the pleas from your readers, you never divulge which is true and which are fabrications. You then tag five other people (four seriously and one person you are pretty sure would never participate).
Here are mine:(1) When I am not teaching summer classes, I often spend time in Hollywood working as a stunt double for Paul Giamatti.
(2) Although my wife agreed to marry me, she refused to be seen with me in public on dates until I had a PhD.
(3) 9 out of 10 people who hear my voice on the phone for the first time address me as "ma'am".
(4) I leave work early with the excuse that I'm going to pick up my son from school, while really I'm rushing home to watch Days of our Lives.
(5) I am NT Wrong.
I tag Doug Chaplin, Doug Mangum, Scott Bailey, Ken Schenck, and NT Wrong (unless that's me, in which case I've already done it).

Hi all–I hope this finds you well. I am in the full swing of holiday commitments and extra school activities, so I had a moment of panic when I realized it was Wednesday, because I was far behind on my blog reading list. But, there is so much great stuff out there that I was able to find you a round-up that is actually kind of bursting with good stuff. I've got a few posts about coping in the holiday season, and a grab-bag section. I hope something speaks to you this week.
Holiday Self-Care
Dr. Ashley Solomon reminds us to slow down and get centered during this busy, busy time. She offers five suggestions to help bring an attitude of mindful presence to your holiday activites.
From Dr. Pauline Wallin comes an invitation to rethink your experience of holiday parties. She also offers some suggestions for reducing stress and managing anxiety before and during a party.
With the onset of winter (a season that has eluded the midwest) The Sweet Life blog offers this thoughtful reminder that managing a chronic illness can be a challenge that changes with the seasons.
Oh, and if you missed it, you can check out the first post in my holiday self-care series: exploring how to offer yourself some compassion.
Grab-Bag Goodness
The holidays are a time of year when many of us struggle with negative thoughts. This post from Wildmind explores an interesting study that suggests we may benefit from a writing exercise to manage negative thinking.
In a similar vein, Rosie Molinary invites us to look at the control that we hand over when we obsess about our appearance.
In my newsletter this week, I talked a little bit about brain health. This is an area I care passionately about, so I appreciated this article from Dr. Julie Robillard, offering her favorite brain health activity suggestion.
And I'm also including this post from writer Lisa Bonchek Adams, because she poignantly captures the experience that so many of us have after a life-threatening diagnosis. You may recognize her experience of being a passenger.
That's it for me–as always, please feel free to share your own favorite post or resource of the week in the comments.

Probably going to be weird and maybe a little scary for Danny to return after all this time off. I've been down with runner's knee for 6 months now and when I am able to return to running I'm sure I will be a little worried that the knee pain will come back again. Here's hoping all goes smooth for Danny.
What's sad though, is how many fans are advocating trading away Danny.
I can't wait to see Danny on the court. He's sure to help us.
THis is gonna be great! Can't wait to wear my Granger Jersey On Wednesday.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
And this is why we need him now with Paul George much improved offensively compared to last playoffs.
I know Wade is a good defender, but I still think its a mismatch if he had to guard George or Granger, too much size. These guys can shoot over Wade with ease.
While that is very true, he was still cut. According to Peter King, Peyton was pretty shook/shocked when it happened.
And because they had the first round pick with a guy called Andrew luck waiting to be the starter, had the Colts been "loyal" as some are suggesting the Colts would have pay the guy 18mil to keep him on the bench even if he was not healthy.
I still remember people wanting to pay Foster 10+mil a year because he was "loyal" and because of "his locker room leadership".
I guess what I'm trying to say is that "loyalty" in sports is bs from both sides and suggesting to keep a player because of his "loyalty" is not good business.

Vnzla81 is correct in the fact that it is a business and at the end of the day you do have to make the best choices for either the business or from the other side the player.
Doesn't mean I have to like it or can't believe that it can't be moderated but at the end of the day it is the bottom line.
Loyalty can be rewarded for both sides though.
I hate how much players get lambasted for not being loyal which is ridiucous. They have to handle their career. But I appreciate it when both teams and players are loyal. Teams can get a reputation for being loyal, which I think can help in the long term success of the program. And this is true in all business whether it is basketball, or any other job in the country really.
I hope Danny's loyalty is rewarded and if it is, I'm sure the Pacers loyalty will be rewarded in the future.
Loyalty exists or at least existed in sports, it's just not mandatory.
Just ask Reggie. A big reason he never signed with the Celtics was not wanting to wear another uniform.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slu...lerallen020911Looking back, Miller has never been clear on the reason he turned down the job offer – except that he had come to the cusp of accepting it. Even now, Ainge isn't sure. Miller declined to discuss it, but [Mark] Jackson never believed it was because Miller couldn't still play, or that the desire was gone.
"It was not wanting to wear another uniform, and not wanting to feel like somebody else got him a ring," Jackson says.
To his core, Miller had such deep love and loyalty to those 18 years with the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics hadn't been the first team to offer him a chance to return to the NBA. Mark Cuban called him to play with Dirk Nowitzki. Cleveland Cavaliers GM Danny Ferry wanted him to play with LeBron James. To Miller, it never felt right for his legacy. He did the rare thing: He retired when he was still an outstanding player, and he couldn't be lured back when Mark Jackson and Garnett were working out with him, telling him he still could make a difference.
Is it romanticized too much, sort of a naive way of feeling like we don't just root for laundry? Probably. But when it really happens it's great.

There is something to be said for loyalty. Guys don't want to come to Indiana because of the weather or the great night life... but they might want to play for a top notch organization that takes care of their own players above and beyond.
Making a move that goes against sentiment doesn't mean that a team is disloyal. Not all the time.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
It seems inevitable to me that we're going to lose at least one guy from our current core, and for various reasons Danny seems the most likely candidate.
Man, I would love to witness a short practice game between our first and second unit.
George against Granger. West against Hansbrough. drool smiley
No wonder Hibbert is struggling like that. Switching from Amundson to Mahinmi, that must hurt your confidence
Can't wait! We will be at the game wed. too. I got a great deal on some tickets. My son will be sporting his Granger Jersey.
First of all, it is not in Danny's best interest to be traded, and it's likely not even in the Pacers best interest.
Second, Danny has never been rewarded for his loyalty here. What he got was JOB.
It's obviously not mandatory. And Sports is a business. But in general, it's bad business to treat your employees like they are disposable. (For instance, Paul George could look at the way Danny was treated, and decide he'd rather go back to LA for a more high profile team instead of giving up his best years in Indiana. And the Pacers would deserve it.) And this talk of trading him before he even plays with the team is even more pathetic.

How much more reward do you want from a team than a 13mil a year salary?Second, Danny has never been rewarded for his loyalty here. What he got was JOB.
Players know they are disposable that is why they don't give a damn about their teams either, I mean how much more "loyalty" have the Pacers show Roy and he was ready to sign with other team?

I don't think players know they're disposable. That's why they get all touchy when they're names are involved in trade rumors. There's always players who make comments about how hard it is on them and their families to pick up move.
They want the luxury of being able to pick and choose where they play, but don't like the organizations to have the power to make that decision for them. It's a two way street, players don't like to get traded (unless they ask) and teams don't like to get jilted.
Scott Agnes and MJB both tweeted pictures of Danny getting some run today. (sorry, can't post them from work)
Danny looks pretty thin. Looks like he kept himself in really good shape over the down time.

Coates on Racism
I found this a particularly powerful column by Ta-Nehisi Coates on the frisking of Forest Whitaker at a New York City deli:
Last month the actor Forest Whitaker was stopped in a Manhattan delicatessen by an employee. Whitaker is one of the pre-eminent actors of his generation. . . Since the Whitaker affair, I've read and listened to interviews with the owner of the establishment. He is apologetic to a fault and is sincerely mortified. He says that it was a "sincere mistake" made by a "decent man" who was "just doing his job." I believe him.
We can forgive Whitaker's assailant. Much harder to forgive is all that makes Whitaker stand out in the first place. New York is a city, like most in America, that bears the scars of redlining, blockbusting and urban renewal. The ghost of those policies haunts us in a wealth gap between blacks and whites that has actually gotten worse over the past 20 years. But much worse, it haunts black people with a kind of invisible violence that is given tell only when the victim happens to be an Oscar winner.
The "invisible violence" extends to the newsmagazine of NYC's billionaire mayor, to his law enforcement policies. Implicit bias is pervasive. We need not accuse any particular person of evil intent to observe the corrosive structures that reinforce it.

Analyst: Bullock top Triangle pick in coming NBA Draft
Posted June 25, 2013
The lead NBA Draft writer for Bleacherreport.com, Jonathan Wasserman, thinks North Carolina Tar Heel Reggie Bullock will be the first Triangle player to be selected Thursday in the 2013 NBA Draft (7 p.m. ESPN and 99.9 FM The Fan).
"(Reggie) Bullock is definitely on the rise right now," Wasserman said. "He's six-foot-seven, great size for an NBA wing. He's athletic, can defend and (is) an elite three point shooter."
The North Carolina guard averaged 13.9 points with a 43.6 three-point field goal percentage, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in his junior season. Wasserman said Bullock could go as high as 19th overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"It's not a very top-heavy draft," Wasserman said Tuesday while joining The World's Strongest Morning Show on 620 the Buzz. "You probably won't find any all-stars here in this draft." Wasserman thinks the No. 1 overall pick will be Maryland center Alex Len. He added that a total of nine seven-foot players are projected to be drafted in the first round.
Duke center Mason Plumlee "could be a candidate to slide on draft day," Wasserman said. "I think he is going to be a good player, but there's just nothing that stands out about him."
Wasserman believes Plumlee's best case scenario is to be taken 12th by the Oklahoma City Thunder but realistically see him falling to the late first round. Plumlee averaged 17.1 points with a 59.9 percent field goal percentage and 10 rebounds in his senior season with the Blue Devils.
North Carolina State's C.J. Leslie and Lorenzo Brown decided to skip their senior seasons to enter the NBA Draft. The decision might be questionable since most experts project both as fringe first-round picks.
"I am little skeptical of C.J. Leslie," Wasserman said. He questioned Leslie's ability to transition from a true power forward to the three spot on an NBA roster. Wasserman compared Leslie to the Charlotte Bobcats' Hakim Warrick. Leslie averaged 15.1 points with a 51.9 field goal percentage and 7.4 rebounds in his junior season.
Wasserman projects Brown will go in the top half of the second round, but his best case scenario is the 25-30 range.
"People are going to view him as a back-up point guard," Wasserman said. "His one knock, so far, has been he is not a natural point guard. They are saying he's got to work on facilitating and getting his teammates involved." Brown averaged 12.4 points with a 41.9 field goal percentage, 7.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds in his junior season.

A Donnellson, Iowa man facing a serious misdemeanor of livestock neglect is expected to ask for a lesser charge.
Jeffery Graber, 55, was charged Jan. 8 after deputies removed several emaciated horses from his property.
A judge later ordered the horses returned to Graber due to a clerical error by the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
A motion filed by Graber's attorney says the neglect was unintentional.
Graber is asking to change the charge to a simple misdemeanor.
