Craig Pearson
The Tribune-Star
Terre Haute South and Munster both recovered from rocky starts on the mound, but the Braves were down 6-3 before recuperating from their issues with finding the strike zone.
South's offense had opportunities to make up for its pitching woes, but coach Kyle Kraemer's squad lost its season opener 7-3 in the first game of the annual Braves Bash.
South went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position after the first inning — which included a pair of big Braves' hits. Preston Tofaute delivered a towering two-run home run, and Sander Downs a two-out, two-strike RBI single that put the Braves ahead 3-2.
But starting pitcher Cody Brock carried his first-inning struggles into the second inning though. The senior right-hander struck out the leadoff man but issued a walk to No. 9 hitter Alec Skalka. Craig Dedlow then stroked a double to the fence in left-center field, later scoring on a sacrifice fly by Alesx Del Rio.
"We give up a two-spot, come back and get a 3-spot ... Cody's got to think my team comes out and gets me three, let's get us back to the dugout and get some runs. But he gives up another two spot. He'll have to figure that out," Kraemer said.
Brock started off the fourth inning with another walk to Skalka, following that with a pitch that hit Dedelow in the back. Sophomore Connor Shipley came on in relief after Brock gave up two more runs.
"We walked the 9-hole man three times. Wasn't a good outing. I think we're better than that. You certainly expect more out of your seniors," Kraemer said.
Facing a 6-3 deficit, South had a chance to mount a comeback. Shipley pitched well, allowing one run over the final 32⁄3 innings.
The timely hits just didn't come.
The Braves left a pair stranded in both the third and fourth then the heart of the order came up empty with the bases loaded in the sixth.
Freshman Justin Jenkins, who went 1-for-3 in his varsity debut, walked to lead off the sixth. Jacob Johnson walked, Tofaute walked after a fielder's choice, then Lannoo fouled out on a first pitch and Brock struck out.
"Preston got us on the board in the first, but he had two other at-bats were he had a runner on third with less than one out. Pete Lannoo does the same thing, Cody Brock does the same thing. Our seniors weren't very good. They've been around for a long time. They just didn't have a very good game today," Kraemer said.
The Braves, who won the Braves Bash for the second time in 2012 after losing its Friday night opener, will play New Haven and Mt. Vernon today.
Munster (1-0) will play the same two teams. Coach Bob Shinkan said he likes the approach his young team took to its season opener.
Starting pitcher Alex Crowe walked three and gave up three runs and three hits in the first, but he scattered five hits over the next four innings to keep the Braves off the scoreboard.
"I was happy that he worked himself out of that," Shinkan said. "Our defense kind of helped us out. We took advantage of some of the control issues they had and got some timely hits. For the opening game, I'm real happy with the way we played. To get a victory against this team, a very good team, is a great way to start the season."
South will send senior Damon Olds to the mound for today's 10 a.m. gaine against Mt. Vernon, which is coached by former Indiana State pitcher Paul Quinzer. New Haven, which South will play at 5:30 p.m. in today's nightcap, has won the Braves Bash three times since 2005.
"We'll have to play a lot better than we did tonight," Kraemer said. "Pete Lannoo will probalby pitch the second game if we don't use him in relief in the second game."
Shinkan hopes Munster can keep it rolling and take its fourth Braves Bash title since winning the first one in 2004.
"I love coming down here. Kyle does a fantastic job down here," Shinkan said. "It's the same teams year in and year out so that'll tell you the quality of the tournament. I've got a lot of young guys and a lot of good hitters so I'm excited to see where that's going to take us."

Reforming Health Care, Faithfully
published in Woodstock Report No. 92, January 2009
During the recent election season, voters frequently heard a word or two from presidential candidates about how they'd fix the healthcare system, whether the key phrases were "tax credits" or "universal coverage" or some other term of policy art. Chances are that few people, however, heard words like these from political leaders: "Do we have an obligation to the sick, the disabled, and those on the margins of society? That is the first question of any healthcare reform."
And that was the question posed by Edmund Pellegrino, a physician and chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics, while speaking at the Woodstock Forum, in a program titled "Values Inside the Issues: Religious Voices on Health Care Reform," held at Georgetown University Law Center on April 23, 2008. Other voices from other faiths (Pellegrino is Catholic) included Rabbi David Saperstein, a lawyer and director of the Washington-based Religious Action Center of Reformed Judaism, and Zubair Saeed, a physician and health director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society in Sterling, Virginia. Each spoke the language of moral and theological reflection using the dialects of their own traditions and drawing on their own histories of faith and service; each offered values and perspectives that, as the moderator, Father John P. Langan, S.J., said, might well "shape our response to the ongoing challenges of healthcare reform."
The commonalities that surfaced at the forum, cosponsored by Woodstock with three Georgetown entities—the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, and Georgetown University Medical Center—were palpable. To begin with, all three of these monotheistic faiths have foundational teachings that lead them to assert individual and social obligations to meet the bodily needs of God's children. All three make the claim that property and resources are entrusted to humans and communities by God, with the stipulation that they be used for the benefit of God's family. Most vivid were the convergences between the two faiths perhaps most often depicted as aligned against each other on the geopolitical stage: Judaism and Islam.
Both Saperstein and Saeed cited teachings that seemed cut from the same textual cloth. For example, Saeed pointed to the traditional Muslim teaching that if a person saves a single life, "it's as if he saved ... the whole nation," while Saperstein pointed to the traditional Jewish teaching that if someone saves a life, "it's as if he saved the world." Both faiths have specific traditions of commentary that underline an individual's responsibility to look after her own health. "Your body has a right over you" is an exhortation from the Muslim tradition, sounding altogether like the Jewish admonition against "damaging your body" directly or through inattention. And, these obligations to care for one's health extend from the individual to communities and entire nations, according to Jewish and Muslim commentaries (as well as Catholic and other Christian social teachings).
A professor of law at Georgetown as well as a leading practitioner of Jewish social action, Saperstein pointed out that during the medieval period and through much of Jewish history, rabbis were unpaid and had other professions. Roughly half of them were physicians, he pointed out, and they benefited from the patronage of Muslims and from scientific discoveries of the Muslim world. "Jews had far more opportunity to participate in Muslim society" than in Christian society, Saperstein said, noting that the 12th century rabbi-philosopher Maimonides served as a personal physician to an Egyptian caliph. "Muslim medical tradition and Jewish medical tradition developed for nearly half a millennia side by side, interacting with each other."
There was a particularly moving moment during the discussion when Saeed, after hearing presentations by Pellegrino and Saperstein, became briefly choked up and paused before saying—"I'm sorry. It's really heartwarming to see the commonalities that our three faiths share. There is a lot more that binds us than separates us."
Not just historical, these commonalities pour into the present and have brick-and-mortar manifestations that can be glimpsed in any city graced by a Catholic long-term care facility, a Jewish hospital, and a Muslim clinic. Religions have an unmistakable presence as deliverers of healthcare in the United States, and in recent times they have been offering their experiences and imageries of faith, service, community, healing, and justice, as guidance for those shaping social policy on this exceedingly urgent matter. Signs of this expanded religious role include the recent formation of Faithful Reform in Healthcare, an interfaith coalition that seeks to imbue the public dialogue with religious and ethical perspectives; and the Massachusetts healthcare reform plan adopted in 2006 after pivotal lobbying by faith-based community organizations.
Heard and Seen, in the Public Square
For each of the speakers, one of the first orders of business was to simply argue the case that religious faiths should not only be seen—as healthcare providers—but also heard in public discourse on this and other policy issues. Pellegrino, an emeritus professor of medicine and medical ethics at Georgetown, pointed to one school of thought that says religious beliefs should normally be kept private, at a safe distance from political issues that can be inflamed by sectarian arguments. He countered that it's not easy to dislodge political opinions from moral convictions, and these, in turn, often spring from religious faith.
"There's a very good reason for getting this [religious perspectives] out in the open-because it's there. When we neglect it, we neglect an important source of morality for a majority of persons," Pellegrino submitted. While many are familiar with the assertion that religious claims to moral truth can fuel political division, both he and Langan explained how faith-based intervention can, and often does, have the opposite effect. "For one thing," Pellegrino said, "it's an antidote to partisan politics. You don't take a position because you belong to a particular party. You have [larger] reasons for it, and those reasons ought to be put in the open." During his introduction, Langan, a Georgetown professor of Catholic social thought, had suggested that political differences over healthcare policy can be "relativized and softened somewhat" by the leavening presence of religious faith in policy discussions. That is, especially if those differences are limned on a larger canvass of agreement on moral principles kindred to all three of the great monotheistic traditions.
During this forum the speakers focused almost entirely on such precepts rather than on the merits of particular proposals for curing systemic ills of healthcare (proposal addressed, often in detail, by religious activist groups). One of the clearest principles defended at the forum—though not without a cautionary word from the moderator—was that healthcare shouldn't be treated as a commodity. It shouldn't be seen, in other words, as a business driven solely by market forces.
Such principles usually provoke arguments over government's role in the economy and the wisdom of market-based solutions. But Pellegrino said that while those discussions are important, there is a prior question: "Is there a moral obligation on the part of a good society to those who are sick, disabled, not able to function, and even to our brothers and sisters who are not taking care of themselves and are not being responsible, but who have the same dignity that you and I have?" That question, he said, ought to be the starting point of debate.
Later, during the discussion period, he continued pressing this case, saying, "I don't think it [healthcare] could ever be a commodity. The only way I could make this clear is to ask you to put yourself on the gurney, get on the [hospital] bed. Stop thinking about policies. You are a sick person. You're vulnerable. You're anxious. You're dependent. Do you want market forces, which have no heart to them, to determine" what kind of care you receive? Illustrating the difference between healthcare and other things that might well be left to the marketplace, he added: "When you're on that gurney, you're not buying beer, panty-hose, or band-aids."
In a way, Pellegrino was echoing what great figures such Pope John Paul II and even Adam Smith have taught—that some things escape the logic of the marketplace, and those are fundamental human needs. Modern Catholic social teaching has contended that human beings have a basic right to the things that make life more human, and which are necessary for leading a dignified life in community. (Pellegrino himself shies away from the nomenclature of rights and prefers to speak instead of obligations, partly because, as he sees it, there's no legal framework for economic rights in the United States.)
Similar sentiments were expressed by the other two panelists, and Saperstein made a more particular point as well. Alluding to the argument of some that universal healthcare would inevitably drive down the quality of care, he stated, "In a choice between healthcare that provided better quality but left a sixth of the population out, and a universal system in which the quality of care was less for everyone, the Jewish tradition is clear that you'd opt for the universal system." Saperstein wasn't saying these are the only choices; he was making an argument (in not so many words) about the kinds of decisions that are made when healthcare is understood as a right rather than a commodity.
At that moment during the exchange, Langan—a Woodstock board member and senior research fellow at Georgetown's Kennedy Institute of Ethics—added his word of caution, noting the size of the healthcare sector in the United States. "I'd like to remind our panelists that we are talking about one-sixth of the economy," Langan said, questioning what he described as the idea that powerful economic pressures (including the trend toward making healthcare a commodity) could be wrested from the healthcare system. Such a notion "stretches my capacity for belief," Langan said.
In response, Pellegrino said he didn't think the size of the healthcare system should matter when advancing a moral critique: "The fact that we're spending so much on healthcare does not eliminate the need for the kind of ethical analysis that is often left out [in the policy debate]." For his part, Saperstein added that nobody is suggesting "we wrest out" the economic realities of healthcare, but he said that even while working within those realities, public leaders can seek reforms more in keeping with the common good.
Limits of Religious Advocacy
During the question-and-answer period there was some discussion of whether religion is speaking boldly enough when it comes to social and political change. As put by one questioner (a young man with an indeterminate accent), the "establishment trembled" whenever Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed spoke, and he asked why people of faith aren't taking a more "dynamic, revolutionary stance on healthcare in the United States."
Saperstein gave the first reply, assuring the young man that religious activists have been "speaking truth to power" on this issue and doing so together, through ecumenical and interfaith channels. "I don't think it's a lack of courage" on their part, he said, explaining why faith-based groups haven't been more successful. "Almost all of us would like to see a single-payer system. That's a revolutionary step. But we remain the quintessential multi-issue entity," he said, speaking primarily of coalitions that bring together mainline Protestant, Jewish, and Catholic organizations.
In other words, the impact of mainstream religious advocacy is inevitably spread across the public-policy landscape. Still, Saperstein pointed out that largely because of faith-based community activism in Massachusetts, "millions" of people now have better access to healthcare. "I think we can do that nationally," he said.
Pellegrino seconded Saperstein's analysis, but he also said specifically in regard to the Catholic Church that "the hierarchy is ahead of the populace" on such issues as universal healthcare (the same is often said of liberal Protestant denominations and Jewish organizations). "I think there's been courage, but we haven't convinced our own conferees," he explained.
In closing remarks, Kevin Fitzgerald, S.J., an ethicist and molecular geneticist at Georgetown University Medical Center, said the forum was the first in a series of dialogues focusing on healthcare ethics and policy at Georgetown. He said the panelists that evening had taken a worthy stride toward the eventual goal—"a truly healthy future for each and for all."

After the Lady Quakers completed one of their most successful weekends in recent memory, a Good, Bad & Ugly for their 63-40 rout of Dartmouth.
THE GOOD: Keiera Ray
With 50 points in this weekend's two games, including 19 tonight, consider this freshman guard Keiera Ray's coming out party once and for all. She led all scorers in both games this weekend. Her emergence along with the steady play of junior guard Alyssa Baron give the Quakers a formidable backcourt.
THE BAD: Princeton continues to dominate
Not much bad to take away from the weekend for the Quakers. Perhaps the only downside is that the Tigers do not appear to be slowing down any time soon Penn hopes to catch them in the standings. There is some hope, however. A Dartmouth squad that the Quakers just blew out lost to Princeton by "only" 12 points on Friday night – their smallest margin of victory in Ivy play this season.
THE UGLY: Dartmouth turnovers
The Big Green turned the ball over a whopping 23 times. Penn's 24-0 advantage in points off turnovers covered its entire margin of victory. By continually handing the ball back to the Quakers, Dartmouth never gave themselves a chance.

This post was originally a comment in Summersville and Gauley River Cliff jumping in all its various forms, including deep water soloing, has recently been banned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The penalty is a $5000 fine, though it is unclear to me if it's being rigorously enforced. Does anyone have info about this? See article here: www.allclimbing.com/archive/2007/05/deep-water-soloing-banne>>> There is a petition going around to lift this ban. It only takes a few seconds to fill out: www.ipetitions.com/petition/summersvillecj/?e
This post was originally a comment in Summersville and Gauley River Yes they are enforcing it! They actually pay people to drive around in motor boats and tell people not to cliff jump from heights of over 6ft. DO NOT CLIFF JUMP AT SUMMERSVILLE IF ANYONE IS WATCHING YOU FROM THE WATER!!!
This post was originally a comment in Summersville and Gauley River I don't think they have anythign specifically against deep water soloing, as long as you don't fall. The ban says nothing about hiking to cliffs above the water or rock climbing.
This post was originally a comment in Summersville and Gauley River I signed the petition. Just ask yourself what would George Washington do? This should go to a local vote and let the people decide. It should be stated that climb/swim at your own risk, and made illegal for people to sue for injuries. No wonder why the majority of kids today are fat, and get in trouble with the law, bring guns to school etc. Americans are no longer allowed or encouraged to enjoy life's simple pleaseures. Is this America or do we live in Nazi Germany?
Cliff jumping at Summersville will continue to be a passtime of mine and friends I'm with. Now I just have to be careful of more than what is in the water, I have to be careful of who is watching.
This is and has been pretty dumb, IMO. The best thing about Summersville Lake is going there in the dead of summer, climbing until you grease off the holds and then jumping in the lake and swimming the sweat off. You can't pass any laws against stupidity, people will Darwin themselves no matter what the rules say. Maybe we should put up railings with signs all around the lakes or make anyone within 100 yards wear a life jacket... So here is where you can't jump from anymore (over your head):
I also wanted to mention this ban covers another lake in the southern region which has excellent DWS. Enough that it looks like it might have become a great summer destination for climbers who would contribute to the local economy by renting pontoon boats, buying gas, etc.
"I don't think they have anythign specifically against deep water soloing, as long as you don't fall." If you climb above water, when you fall you don't die. But here, if you fall you pay $5,000. Probably more motivation for climbers than fear of death! LOL
Ladd, I hope for your sake you don�t get caught. I wouldn�t want to see anybody pay $5000, and or spend some time in the slammer over swimming in a lake. Maybe the law was made to prevent drunken rednecks from showing up with a beach blanket and a case of beast. But shouldn't local law enforcement take care of a problem like this with the current laws that are in place? Maybe I was taking it too far with my comment, but let�s check with somebody who did get slapped with the fine. ...btw nice photos Mark.
Echoing what many of you have already said... yeah I wish folks could just take responsibility for their own actions. This ban is so silly. Perhaps I missed this reading through the thread, but does anyone know of someone who was actually fined? Or is this just an empty threat with a slap on the wrist? I would love to go back next summer.
I've spent countless days out at Summersville, and at least 15 days last summer alone, I've been talked to, seen people talked to, even yelled at, but I've never seen someone fined.
The real danger when climbing at Summersville remains parking your car in the lot and hoping no locals break into it. (I've seen at least a dozen break-ins)
The petition has a TON of spelling and grammatical errors. The Corps will take you more seriously if someone edits it.
I thought this petition was a good idea... just now, however, I dug a bit deeper and discovered that the petition sponsors are two high school aged boys. This may be the reason for the numerous grammatical errors. I tried getting in touch with them to correct the problems and find out what will happen to this petition. Their only contact info is through their MySpace page. I don't have an account, and therefore cannot contact them. I guess it's better to sign the petition with the errors, than not at all, but could someone with a MySpace page get in touch with: Josh connelly and Michael Bowe at: myspace.com/mikebowe myspace.com/joshisghetto
man, i can't beleive this... people have been jumping around there since the 80s, probably earlier. this sort of tourture is not american! someone send the army general a copy of king lines, or maybe we could get sharma to go and ward off the army!
First and foremost I would like to state that I hate cliff jumping and the people who do it are just asking to die.
I totally agree Jeff. It's just sick, awful and totally disgusting.. Only a bunch of derelicts would do such a thing. I rather be at home reading a book with some decaf tea.
Dave I am glad that you support the anti-cliff jumping coalition. If it's the last thing we do we will make sure those kids aren't having fun. Gross? Did that cost "your buddy" a ticket?
Jeff, It's another place where jumping is rightfully prohibited
This is really sad. The New/Summersville was the place I would road trip to the most when I lived in Ohio. Some of my fondest climbing memories are climbing right out of the water, topping out, if I was lucky, and then getting myself pumped up to jump. In fact, I still have a picture on my refrigerator of me diving in the pirates cove area. Everybody who comes over to my place always comments on the photo. They can't believe that there's a place like this in West Virginia. It's really unfortunate that this has been outlawed. Personal responsibility is becoming a thing of the past in this country. I guess all those lectures I got from my dad growing up on being accountable for my actions were for nothing. Spill hot coffee on yourself. Sue McDonald's.
A little of topic here, but does anybody know of any places out here in Colorado where one might partake in this sort of unlawfulness.
Dave, breaking the law at Gross Res? I'm a cliff jumpin criminal as well. This past weekend Vail had lots of the crystallized water to jump into. Cliff jumping is not a crime. Cliff jumpers are not criminals. Maybe just a little crazy.
There are lot's of good cliff jumping spots in Colorado you just have to find them. The one above is on the Colorado River. Ryan, stay out of EV don't you know that stuff is dangerous.

When I serve it to guests, they pour a little on the greens I've served, let it sit on their tongues for a minute or two, and eventually decide they like it. The creative among them guess at a "secret" ingredient or two. The more analytical ask for the recipe, then groan when they hear the answer they should have predicted.
"Well, I don't actually have a recipe. I just made it up."
Playing with my food has become a culinary paradigm in my kitchen over the years. Although I subscribe to several cooking magazines and enjoy finding new recipes, I really consider them more as a place to start than literal instructions. And this approach to food has become even more crucial as I try to eat seasonal and locally grown food.
Although I certainly can't boast a perfect record -- I have eaten my share of flops, I find that the more I experiment with textures and tastes, the more successes I have. And sometimes, I even try writing them down so that others can enjoy them!
Whether you are a "stick-by-the-book" kind of cook or a culinary slam poet mastering dishes on the fly, I challenge you to a little summer food frenzy. Find one or two fresh vegetables or herbs, either from your own garden, the local farmer's market, or a grocery store you trust, and create a new dish for you and your family.
Then, drop me a comment with your new creation, and I'll add a link on this blog during one of the summer "Food on Fridays."
And in case your interested, here are a couple of my favorite creations:
Four by Four Pizza
1 premade crust (I bought a whole wheat one from the Farmer's Market, but Boboli would work)
Ricotta cheese (leftover from a recent lasagna)
Fresh mozzarrella
Aged Cheddar Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Basil
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Oregano
Fresh Marjoram
Pizza Sauce
Spread some ricotta on the crust, then cover with a thin layer of sauce. Added herbs and cheese in layers, sprinkle on a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
Curry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Flavored vinegar of your choice (I prefer the Citrus Champaigne vinegar from Trader Joe's in the summer, and a pear or balsamic vinegar from Fresh Market in the winter)
Garlic Powder
Curry Powder
The base of my dressing is usually close to 2 parts oil to 2 parts vinegar to 1 part honey. Adjust the amount of honey and vinegar to your taste, but stay pretty close to these proportions for proper consistency. Combine these in a shaker bottle or other container with a tight lid. Add the herbs and spices to taste (usually about a tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of curry, and a tsp of basil with the proportions of oil, vinegar and honey above), then shake, shake, shake. Taste and adjust the spices as needed. I store the dressing in the fridge so it will keep longer, but be sure to set it out at least 15 minutes before you are going to eat or it will be firm. (Olive oil doesn't prefer the fridge.)
The first recipe I made was a broccoli salad. Out of the nine ingredients listed, I substituted seven!Part of the fun of cooking with the seasons is learning to use what's locally available, and that often means taking recipes as starting points: a theme on which to playfully improvise rather than a blueprint to follow precisely. -- from Simply in Season: Recipes that celebrate fresh, local foods in the spirit of More-with-Less

Jodi Fung moved to Studio City from the Bay Area about a dozen years ago. The journalism major is also an actress. She also loves movies, and cares about people.
She found a way to merge all of her loves with the FILManthropy Festival—a unique film festival that connects filmmakers with charities and helps raise money for worthy causes as people go to the movies. They are picky about who they choose to put in the festival.
"The film has to have a good message, and we ask that the filmmaker and the audience connect with a charity of their choice," said Fung. "It is amazing then to see how people get inspired to do something."
Fung lives in Studio City where she also formed the volunteer group The Sirens Society (www.sirenssociety.org) now known as The FILManthropy Society (www.FILManthropysociety.org). She has two children, 6 and 4, and is involved in the Carpenter Community Charter School activities as well.
"I love Studio City, it's like a small community, but it's not out of touch with the rest of the city—and you can still find parking," said Fung.
Photographer of North Hollywood is on the board of the FILManthropy Society. He said, "We promote bringing attention to the overlooked social issues of the world through the amazing, far-reaching medium of film. All of our members band together to pool their resources to try to make this thing happen; and we do so every year, with a lot of love and what we like to call 'sweat equity.'"
The organization is asking for donations, and also tickets go up on sale for the festival from May 17 - 19.
See: http://www.filmanthropyfestival.org/donate.html
All of the monies raised for the festival and during the festival go to the three winning films' charities of their choice; 45% to Best Feature, 45% to Best Short, and 10% to Audience Favorite.
"We truly build the bridge between what people see on the screen and real awareness for these charities, resulting in tangible change on Earth," Tibbels said. "For example, our winner of Best Short a few years ago was a film about building clean water wells for communities in Cambodia who desperately needed it. With the money raised from the festival, they were able to build 9 new clean water wells. How amazing is that?"
Fung said she was particularly moved by that experience. "You could see activism taking place right there after the film screening."
Tibbels added, "We work for free to produce this festival (we all do) and we do so out of love and with true conviction that film has the ability to penetrate souls, sending a message of awareness of certain social issues, and eventually propelling people to take action to change our world."
The scheduling of the movies will be announced soon, but people can still buy passes. For more information go to www.filmanthropyfestival.org.

The Express-Star
A Grady County man was apprehended by the Grady County Sheriff's Office after being picked up for possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance with Intent to Distribute along with several other drug and firearm offenses.
Grady County Sheriff Deputy Zachary Davis said at just after noon on Friday, he went to 1828 West Park Avenue in Chickasha to serve a warrant for Garrett Brannon Seebeck.
The house, which contained a Glock-style pistol, along with methamphetamine, marijuana, 100 individual $1 bills wrapped in $20 increments and a set of scales, was secured until Seebeck signed a search waiver.
Seebeck was officially charged with Possession of a Firearm after a former felony conviction, Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance within 2,000 feet of a school, Possession of Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance with Intent to Distribute and Possession of Marijuana.
"After Garrett was cuffed, I asked him where his ID card was and he said inside," Davis said. "Garret began to walk inside the residence, and I grabbed him by the arm and told him to wait because from the doorway I observed a pistol laying in plain view on the edge of the couch."
Davis said the firearm was fully loaded with a round in the chamber.
Seebeck's home is located one block south of USAO.
Grady County Undersheriff Rusty Pyle said after Seebeck was detained he told the arresting officers, "This is just like the government to stick it to the poor, white man. I'm not mad at y'all, just mad at the system."
Pyle said the warrant for Seebeck was for Failure to Appear for Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance.

David Walliams
From OpenwaterpediaBig Splash Challenge for Sport Relief, a 140-mile, 8-day stage swim for charity from the Thames' Gloucestershire source (near Lechlade) to the finish at Big Ben in central London in eight days. It will be the basis for a television documentary to be aired in 2012.
In 2006, Walliams completed a swim across the English Channel, raising £1,000,000 for Sport Relief. He later received a special award at the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year for completing the Channel. He also swam the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain to Morocco for Sport Relief in 2008, and last year cycled from John O'Groats to Land's End.
In the Big Splash Challenge for Sport Relief, Walliams is raising money for the BBC-backed charity which helps people in the U.K. and in some of the world's poorest countries.

Tomato rice is one of South Indian style rice preparations. The main ingredients are tomatoes and rice. Addition of onions and curry leaves gives nice flavor to the dish. And not to forget that freshly ground masala always make a difference.
This rice dish is dear hubby's favorite for his lunch box. He likes his rice with plain yogurt. So I usually pack yogurt in separate container for him. It would be good for kid's lunch box too. Please adjust chilies, if making for kids.
I have adapted this recipe from "Dakshin: Vegetarian Cuisine from South India" cookbook. I am totally in love with this book. As I have tried couple of recipes and I loved all of them. I also tried Tamarind rice from this book and I loved it too. I will share it soon. Recipes are authentic south Indian and explained very well.
Tomato rice is not only delicious and flavorful; but it is also very easy to make. You can make it from leftover rice too. If you are going to make this rice often then I would suggest you to make spice powder in big batch (like 6-7 times) and store it in air tight container. This way you can make it within 15 minutes.
- Dried red chilies – 2
- Coriander seeds – 1 teaspoon
- Split chana dal – 1 ½ teaspoon
- Split urad dal – ½ teaspoon
- Asafetida (hing) – a pinch
- Cooked rice – 2 cups **Notes
- Oil – 1 tablespoon
- Mustard seeds – ½ teaspoon
- Onion – ½ cup, chopped
- Curry leaves – 5-6
- Green chilies – 2, chopped finely
- Tomato – 2 medium (1 cup pureed)
- Salt – to taste
- ………………………………………………………
- Cooked Rice - ½ cup raw rice will give you 2 cups cooked rice. Here is the recipe how to cook basmati rice.
- Take spice powder ingredients except hing (red chili, chana dal, urad dal and coriander seeds) in a small pan.
- Turn the heat on low-medium. Dry roast with stirring continuously till dal is brown and you will get nice aroma from coriander seeds. Make sure to dry roast on proper heat; if dal stays raw then it won't taste good at all.
- Let them cool completely. Grind them into fine powder using spice grinder.
- Heat the oil in pan on medium heat. Once hot add mustard seeds. Let them pop.
- Then add chopped onions, green chilies and curry leaves.
- Cook till onion gets light brown.
- Add pureed tomato and salt. Mix well.
- Cook till all the moisture from tomato evaporates and oil starts to leave from the sides.
- Add spice powder.
- Mix well.
- Add cooked rice.
- Mix gently till incorporated well. And serve. (Sorry no photo; got a call from India and forgot to take a pic.)
Shelf life – once cools completely, it can be kept in refrigerator up to 4-5 days in air tight container.
Serving suggestions – serve with plain yogurt or raita with crispy papad on side. Perfect rice dish for kid's or adult's lunch box.
Enjoy this yummy Tomato rice.

By Scott Kotick, Seminoles.com
Lamarcus Joyner has always been a player who leads by example. From high school to college, his motivation in both practice and in game situations could never be questioned.
Teammates saw the way he brought passion and energy to the game and immediately followed suit.
But while actions certainly can speak louder than words, Joyner knew he had to develop another aspect of leadership. He had to let his words echo loudly as the team entered fall camp.
"When I was first told that I needed to be more vocal, it was kind of scary because I had never been a leader at a prestigious program like Florida State," Joyner said. "At first it was a real big challenge, but after seeing that those guys feed of you and really believe in you, that just boosts the monster and gives you that edge and drive to do it and that motivation."
He's one of the first players to arrive at practice every day, but his role has morphed into that of a teacher and coach.
It's about showing the young defensive backs the way, which is what Mark Stoops saw in Joyner from day one.
"I love coaching Lamarcus, we do have a great relationship and you have to love coaching someone who plays with that kind of passion and energy," Stoops said. "That's how we try to coach and it means an awful lot to us and it means a lot to Lamarcus. The biggest thing is that passion, that desire, that energy that he can relay to the young guys and the rest of our defense."
"He's more vocal, and then when you have one guy who steps up and says we need to do this the right way, you have five more guys that back him and say that we're going to do this the right way," senior linebacker Vince Williams said.
"A lot of young guys are trying to fill big shoes, and being a new leader and veteran on this team, it's been tough but it's getting better and I'm more at ease with it," Joyner said.
As a safety, it's Joyner's job to see the entire field. To be able to read the quarterback's eyes, see the routes, and cover sideline to sideline. Great players are often defined not only by their big play ability, but how they make everyone else around them better.
"You know what I've been proud of him about is that he's been disciplined," Stoops said. "He's not just out there playing and doing whatever he wants, he's disciplined within our program and within our defense. He's working hard to refine his skills and become more precise."
And that's something that has rubbed off on the entire secondary. With a good mix of veterans and newcomers, his words and actions carry more weight than ever. It's about the team and the bonds developed in the off season.
"We understand that it's about a bond and we have to be a team and a family to get where we need to get," cornerback Xavier Rhodes said. "We have to set the same goals and do the same thing at the same time, we have to think as one and move as one."
"Now we now that we have to get better as a team, offense and defense," Joyner said. "We have to be one unit if we're going to take this thing to a whole new level."
And that's Joyner's role this season, and it's not an easy one. But it's one that he has embraced whole-heartedly. A great leader puts the team above himself, and that's what makes Joyner who he is, both in word and deed.

$270 More info from brand
Written by Mendelson Tiu and David Richards 04/04/2008 | 02:08 |
Category name i.e.HOME OFFICE
Okay you are in the market for a best of breed notebook but don't want to pay over the top. Try dropping into your local Aldi supermarket where you will find alongside the fruit and vegi a notebook that is among the best we have ever seen for the price.
I have a confession: Aldi sell great chocolate and being right opposite an Aldi store in North Sydney, it makes it easy to be tempted to drop in for an afternoon fix of the Swiss elixir. But what baffled me was that every time I visited the store, consumers were walking out with a notebook under their arm along with a bag of groceries.
Further investigations revealed that not only was Aldi selling pallet loads of notebooks, it was a 17-inch Medion notebook that came with 3GB of memory, 250GB hard drive, Intel Core 2 Duo processors, TV tuner and Windows Vista Home Premium. Also thrown in was a built in webcam, high performance Nvidia graphics card as well as HDMI connectivity.
The most impressive item for the German notebook was the price which at $1,499 sounded too good to be true. So how did the notebook stack up and how well did it go up alongside the big brands like Toshiba, Lenovo, HP and Acer?
When you open the box that the notebook comes in, the first thing that users will notice is the multitude of accessories bundled in the deal. Medion has included an ExpressCard DVB-T TV tuner, DVB-T antennae, remote control, DVI-adaptor, a USB mouse, and even a carry bag. This is quite a feat considering a lot of big companies don't even include an optical mouse or remote with its notebooks.
The MD96420 is considerably heavy but is understandable because of its 17-inch screen. The inside of the notebook has a solid feel to it and sports an aluminium finish, which matches with the black exterior.
The keyboard has a dedicated numeric keypad that makes computing easier, although the layout is a little different from your conventional keyboard. In addition, a 1.3-megapixel camera on top of the screen can be used for IM programs such as Windows Live Messenger or for snapshots that can be posted on blog sites.
Office applications, multimedia programs, and even games will run smoother, as the system comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66GHz processor, 3GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS graphics chipset with 512MB of video memory. Storage is also not an issue as it comes with 250GB of storage capacity (20 GB allotted for recovery; 212 GB for file storage).
Besides Windows Vista Home Premium installed on the system, Medion has also included Microsoft Works 9, Google Desktop, Microsoft Office 2007 (with 60-day trial), Nero Essentials, Home Cinema Suite (Media Show, Power2Go, Power Director, Power DVD, Power Producer, and You Cam), Ulead Photoimpact 12, and Bullguard security software.
We suggest users to use the bundled remote when watching TV or playing movies since there are no multimedia hotkeys on the system. The speakers can get loud when set to its maximum volume, but we definitely recommend users to hook it up to external speakers for better audio output.
When set to its 'Power Saver' mode, the MD96420 will last a little over two hours. However, it only lasted for 95 minutes during our DVD test, which can be considered 'normal' for a 17-inch notebook.
The Medion MD9640 is one of those phenomenal notebooks out there well-worth purchasing. For $1,499 you get a 17-inch notebook with notable specifications, an abundance of accessories, and 2 years warranty. And while it is sold in Aldi stores and not in 'well-known' electronic stores where other branded notebooks are being displayed, we believe that this well-specced notebook just speaks for itself and will provide users with performance like no other.

Health Benefits of Salmon
The Standard American Diet (SAD) tragically lacks Omega-3 the good fatty acids, instead it contains Omega-6 the bad fats. Systemic inflammation in the human body is the root of almost all known chronic health conditions, including everything from rheumatoid arthritis and high cholesterol to dementia and cancer. Omega-3 fats reduce inflammation and Omega-6 fats promote inflammation. Sources for Omega-6 fats come from hydrogenated vegetable oils. Salmon has earned its research reputation as a health-supportive food based largely on its unusual omega-3 fatty acid content. It has one of the best sources for omega-3 fatty acid. Yet has smoking salmon changed anything and cause any damage?
Smoked salmon is popular and in some cases it is considered a delicacy. In Jewish cuisine smoked salmon is called lox and is usually eaten on a bagel with cream cheese. In North America, smoked salmon is often sliced very thinly and served on bread with cream cheese or with sliced red onion, lemon and capers. Slices of smoked salmon are a popular appetizer in Europe, usually served with some kind of bread. Smoked salmon is sometimes used in sushi, though not widely used in Japan it is used in North American sushi bars, for example in a "Philadelphia Roll"

Way to go bringing things back in line.
Last night I had a terrible night's sleep. My right arm was hurting so badly that I woke repeatedly. I no longer think this pain is related to my benign tumor. My mom is seriously alarmed because we have a family history of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). Daddy died from it and brother was in intensive care with it just recently. Diabetes ups the risk..But I've never heard of it starting in the arm. Will call doc when she opens in 30 min.
Forgot to weigh in this AM. Is some subconscious thing going on there?
2 small sausage patties
.5 C rolled oats
.75 C blackberries
.5 t cinnamon.'
I will not walk unless my arm feels better.

Don't know what the rest of the day holds with food. I took the day off and am going to my best friends for a slumber party! Food and drink will be not good, but it will be worth it. Oh the fun my friends of 30 years and I will have!!
Finally out of 207! What a waste of a month this has been! I went from 203 to 207 in 2 days and then just couldn't get moving again except up, not down. Thinking about what to eat, maybe the same as yesterday since it seemed to be the right amount.

Your indulgence in drink calories was just that. It is good and important that you are back on track today!
