The Becky Fund- 2006 Trip
By Jodi Breisler
Las Cruces, NM – This spring, Las Crucen Dinny Bomberg went on her annual mission to Peru honoring her daughter, Becky, who died there in a car accident three years ago. Becky Pritchard had opened a restaurant in Pisac and worked with the local children, who used to beg for food, by teaching them to perform native songs and dances. Her mother now continues the work through "The Becky Fund" by bringing desperately needed school supplies to these poorest of Peruvian children, who live in the Andes Mountains. KRWG's Jodi Breisler caught up with Bomberg after her most recent trip.

Brady has owned the Steelers for years and we've beaten them out for the division the last two years. They got lit up by Tebow while the Pats exposed him the following week in the divisional round. I know they are a great franchise but what have they done lately? Lets enjoy the fact that our teams are playing for the right to go to the Superbowl while they have to watch us for a second year in a row.

«That all may be one» (Jn. 17,21)
We were born for these words, for unity, to give a contribution to its realization in the world. Chiara Lubich
Word of Life - January 2010 |
Written by Chiara Lubich | |
Monday, December 28, 2009 | |
Behold, God's dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated in many parts of the world from January 18-25; others celebrate it at Pentecost. Chiara Lubich always commented on the Biblical verse chosen for this occasion in the Word of Life of that same month. This year's phrase for the Week of Prayer is: "You are witnesses of these things"(Lk 24:48). To help us put it into practice, we propose the following text of Chiara as an urgent call for Christians to join together and bear witness to the presence of God in the world. This month's word of life is a source of earnest encouragement: if we want to be part of God's people, we must allow him to live among us. But how is this possible? What can we do in order to have such a foretaste of the endless joy we will have in seeing God while still on earth? This is exactly what Jesus revealed to us. This is the very meaning of his coming: to communicate his life of love with the Father, so that we too can live it. We Christians can live this phrase even now and have God among us. To have him among us, however, requires certain conditions that are affirmed by the Fathers of the Church. For Basil, the essential condition is living according to the will of God; for John Chrysostom, it is loving our neighbor as Jesus did; for Theodore the Studite, it is mutual love; and for Origen, it is having such accord in thought and in feeling that we arrive at a concord that "unites, and contains the Son of God." The key for allowing God to dwell among us is in the teachings of the Gospel: "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" (Jn 13:34). Mutual love is the key to the presence of God. "If we love one another, God remains in us" (1 Jn 4:12). "For where two or three are gathered together in my name," Jesus says, "there am I in the midst of them" (Mt 18:20). "God himself will always be with them." In this light then, the fulfillment of all the promises of the Old Covenant — Everything is already accomplished in Jesus because he continues, beyond his historical existence, to be present among those who live according to the new law of mutual love, the norm that makes them a people, the people of God. This Word of Life is therefore an urgent call, especially for us Christians, to witness through love to the presence of God. "This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (Jn 13:35). Living out the new commandment sets forth the conditions for the presence of Jesus among all people. We cannot do anything unless this presence is guaranteed, a presence that gives meaning to the supernatural brotherhood that Jesus brought on earth for all humanity. "God himself will always be with them." First of all, it is up to us Christians, even though we belong to different ecclesial communities, to let the world see one people made up of every ethnic group, race and culture, adults and children. One people to whom we can apply the words said of the first Christians, "Look at how they love one another and are ready to give their lives for one another." This is the miracle humanity is waiting for in order to regain hope. This miracle will also provide an essential contribution to ecumenism, the journey towards full and visible unity among Christians. It is a miracle within our reach, or better, a miracle of the one who dwells among those of us united by love, the one who can change the direction of the world and lead all humanity toward unity. —Chiara Lubich The Word of Life, a sentence of Scripture, is offered each month as a guide and inspiration for daily life. Its translation into 90 different languages and dialects reaches several million people worldwide, through print, radio, TV and the internet. From the Focolare Movement's beginnings, Chiara Lubich wrote her commentaries on the Word of Life, and after her death on March 14, 2008, her early writings are now being featured once again. This commentary was originally published in January 1999. If you would like to read experiences of life related to this or to past "Words of Life", they can be found in Living City, the Focolare monthly magazine (livingcitymagazine.com) or in books published by New City Press (newcitypress.com). © 2010 by the Focolare Movement (New York).

Friday Snippet #17
Here is the list of characters:
Grace- witch Caitlin-shapeshifter(aka Shadow)
Caerwyn- Caitlin's twin(aka Smoky) Laura- Grace's Teacher
Dr. John- also Grace's teacher (married to Laura)
Bronwyn and Brychan- Caitlin and Caerwyn's parents
Angharad- Caitlin's sister
Ellen and Cordelia- owners of the Bell and Candle Bookshop
"Okay, let's get started. For this, why don't you lie back down on your little nest in the kitchen? Owen, if you could close the drapes in the dining room? Before you lie down though, I need you to take your clothes off. You can put on this robe here."
"Okay, here goes." And stepping out of my clothes, I pulled the robe on, tying it shut before lying back on the stack of cushions Owen had brought down for me.
"Now what?" Owen asked, sitting beside me and letting me lean against him.
"Now I check for booby traps. And hopefully counteract any that are there." Opening her bag, Ellen pulled out several candles in a variety of colors: red for health, strength, and courage; orange for attraction, adaptability, and encouragement; yellow for protection; green for healing; light blue for health, patience, tranquility, and understanding; violet for healing, peace, and spirituality; and one white candle by itself because it was Monday. Owen and I both sat and watched as Ellen walked around the room setting up the candles and then lighting them.
"I'm going to start by drawing off any negativity around you," Ellen explained, sitting down next to me on the other side from Owen. "If you could open your robe?" I did, and she sat forward shaking her hands as she did so and started the ritual. Taking several deep breaths, she placed both her hands on the side of my head and ran them down the sides of my body all the way down to my feet, just barely touching my skin as she did so. Reaching my feet, she took another deep, cleansing breath, shook out her hands and started again. Seven times, she did this. After the seventh time, she sat back on her heels, shaking her hands out and smiling.
"Somehow, healing others always makes me feel like I'm healing myself. Now, let's look for booby traps." Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a small wooden cup, a small bottle, as well as a baggie full of rosemary stems. Filling the cup from the cup, gathered the rosemary into a small bundle and dipped the tips into the water. She then shook the sprigs so the water sprinkled over me.
"I'm working with a lot of supposition here." She explained what she was doing as she did it, repeatedly dipping the sprigs into the wooden cup to replenish the water. "I haven't dealt with too many curses or booby traps. I figured whoever had set the booby traps did not have your best interests at heart, and in that case the holy water might react to the presence of any ill intent." Sprinkling the water on the top of my head had no effect. Neither did sprinkling it on my face, or my throat, but then we didn't think there would have been as Ellen hadn't found any booby traps the other day.
Sprinkling the water over my heart produced a single rune: an inverted pertho. Ellen took one look and jumped back, sitting on the bare floor and giving a whole body shake ending with a vigorous shake of her hands. "Well, I'd say we found some definite ill will. An inverted pertho. If this were a reading, every interpretation I've ever read says if you pull an inverted pertho to stop immediately, that fate is preparing to deal a crushing blow. I'd say dying would have been a crushing blow. Now, let's check the remaining chakra."
"Which ones are left?" Okay, so I was ignorant. Sue me. I wanted to know, and asking seemed easiest.
"There is one at the solar plexus, the sacral chakra, and the base or root chakra. May I?" Sprinkling water on solar plexus, and the chakra between my legs didn't reveal anything, but some of the water had dripped onto my stomach revealing patches of runes. Sprinkled with water my stomach was covered with inverted runes. "Let's see what we have here: this one is Uruz which inverted means rough times ahead, the thorn is Thurisaz which inverted means danger such as malicious and determined enemies…"
"No. You don't say."
"Sarcasm will get you nowhere, young lady. Let me finish. Inverted Ansuz, Kaunaz, and Tiwaz mean in order losing the ability to communicate, the fading of the light of enlightenment, and lastly betrayal by a man."
"All very interesting but I'd like to know what they were supposed to do."
"I think I can answer that one." Ellen sat back, rubbing her hands down her arms all the way to her fingertips, as if washing off some remnant of my problems. "Somehow it has tied the lower three chakra together and interrupted the energy flow as well as the chakra's primary functions."
"Which are?" Owen asked that one, drawing designs on my arms with a fingertip, sending lovely shivers up and down my body.
"The solar plexus controls mental functioning, power, control, and the freedom to be yourself."
"I can see that, it'd be hard to think it someone knocked the wind out of you." Owen smiled, tickling my ribs.
"So the sacrum would control, I'm just guessing here, sexual energy?"
"Doh," Ellen laughed, sticking her tongue out at me. "Not only that, but also emotion and creativity."
"And the root chakra?"
"Security, survival, and instinct."
"And what would interrupting those functions do."
"Well, I think we saw a good example yesterday. I'd say that your mental functioning as well as your instinct for survival were seriously impaired. Wouldn't you?"
"I wonder what else they were planning on using this for." Owen had wrapped me in his arms, both of us feeling seriously wigged by the severity of what we'd discovered. "They must have had more than one plan."
"Maybe something that combined control and emotion with sexual energy?" Ellen shrugged apologetically. "I could come up with dozens of possibilities here, but it would all be pure speculation."
"That's just scary." I shuddered, holding onto Owen's arms as if he were my favorite teddy bear. Oh wait, he had been. "So how do we get rid of it?"
"I wish we could find out how they got painted on your stomach, don't you?" Owen leaned into me, resting his head on top of my own.
"Hell yes, but right now I'm more interested in getting them off."
"Okay, here's my plan," she began, rooting around in her bag and pulling out a variety of small bottles and jars. As she explained her plan, she also showed us which jar and bottle we needed at each step. "First, we'll wash the affected areas with holy water," she held up a small clear glass bottle with a moon and star on the front of it, "then rub anointing oil on them. I've made this myself but you might want to start making your own." The bottle she held up was a delicate hand-blown shell shaped bottle of a deep cobalt blue. "Lastly for good measure, I'll give you a mixture of cinnamon, geranium, peppermint, and rosemary."
"I'll not only be safe, I'll smell like a bakery."
"You'll be safe, that's the important thing." She was serious when she said that, but I was happy to see the smile flitting around the edges of her mouth. If I could make her smile I knew we could get through this.
"So do we do this now?"
"Actually, I'm going to leave all of that to you two." Ellen handed the necessary bottles to Owen. "Performing this kind of healing has an effect on both the healer and the one receiving the healing." She smiled shyly and blushed as she said that. "So I'm going to be a good wench and go help Cordelia open the shop. Take your time, Owen. We can handle things for a while." And packing her back, she gave me a hug and a kiss before following Owen out of the kitchen and to the door.
"So now what, do you want to go upstairs and do this? Or stay down here." Owen was back, looking at the bottles and jars Ellen had left us.
"Let's just stay here, and get these off of me, so I can take a nap?" I was still tired from the day before.
"Certainly," Owen smiled; pulling open the robe that I'd tied shut. Reaching out, he slowly rubbed his hands up and down my arms, making me revel in his touch. I don't think either Cormac or mum was aware of this, but growing up I'd known his body almost as well as I knew my own, even before we were lovers.
The nice relaxing stroll down memory lane was shattered by the icy cold water splashing across my stomach, which started burning where the inverted runes had been drawn. "Let me know when the burning starts to fade." Owen handed me two dish towels to keep the water dripping down my sides from soaking the robe. The runes started itching, then burning, and then felt like they were on fire they were so hot. They were even hot to the touch (so I know it wasn't all in my mind).
The next bottle of holy water felt hot, as if the heat from the runes had warmed it. The third bottle, however, had me gasping in shock. It felt like it had just come out of the freezer. As soon as he heard me gasp, Owen stopped pouring the water over me, after making sure that both areas had the same reaction, and instead handed me a warm towel to dry off.
"That was the hardest part, according to Ellen," Owen sighed, sitting back and resting his head in his hands. Watching me writhe in pain had not been easy for him. None of this had been easy for him: for either of us really. But he chose to stay, and I was very grateful.
Struggling out of the cushions until I was sitting up, I put my hands on his shoulders and pulled myself forward until I was sitting in his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck, whispering into that soft sweet-smelling spot just below his ear, "Thank you for helping me with all of this, I couldn't have gone through any of this without you."
"So you don't think I'm the man that's going to betray you?"
"What? You? Not only no, but I'd say hell no."
"But I'm sitting with you, and I keep thinking about Caerwyn…"
"And I'm sitting with you, and thinking about Caitlin, and Caerwyn. How mixed up is that? All I know is that we're ass deep in some really weird shit, and I need you to see me through."
"And I don't think I could make it without you either."
"So we get through this weird shit, break the curse so we both can see Caitlin and Caerwyn, and then figure this whole thing out."
"Who knows? They might tell us we're both daft and that they have decided to run away with the milkman."
"We're good?" I smiled as Owen nodded, then shook his head in wonderment. "Now, let's get this thing done so I can take my nap and you can get to work. Sound like a plan?"
"Sounds like."
Lying down once more on the cushions, which I later found out belonged on the garden furniture, I settled myself, watching Owen as he took the bottle of anointing oil in his hands and rubbed the bottle slowly back and forth, letting the glass bottle absorb his body heat. Pouring the oil into his hands he rubbed them together before rubbing the oil on my stomach, slowly and gently. As with the holy water, he didn't just rub the spots that had had the runes drawn on them, but instead rubbed the oil over my entire torso. He even rubbed my shoulders, my neck, and under my arms.
Feeling his hands on my skin, knowing it was my sweet Owen doing it, was amazing. The oil was warm. His hands were gentle and soft. And the massage was sensual, and relaxing, and soothing, and calming, and tranquil, and peaceful, and comforting, and restful, and…
I heard Owen's gentle chuckle, and felt him bend down to kiss my forehead as he whispered, "Sweet dreams."

I think maybe just a few too many repetitions of the words 'booby trap' in close proximity to each other :)
Being honest, I think that something needs to happen in this story. All the episodes I've read... they're very dreamlike and very warm, but it all seems to float along, and because it's so warm nothing ever seems to be too terrible for Gracie. People all find answers for her, whether she's cursed or not, and she doesn't seem to need to do anything. It's rather like she's wrapped in cotton wool.
I keep thinking about Raymond Chandler's quote about writing Philip Marlowe - whenever things started to drift and he got stuck he'd (and I paraphrase) "have two men come through a door and start shooting".
Obviously, I'm not suggesting that. *grin* But I think maybe there's some dynamism and drama that should be driven into the middle of this; if I were writing this (and I know I'm not!) Gracie would be in a lot more trouble and would a lot more lost, alone, bewildered and panicked; and she'd have to make some hard choices. With some times of warmth, sure, but some times of sheer terror as a contrast.
Perhaps it's simply the choice of episodes! Or that I have a more cynical view of the world...
As per usual, please feel free to disregard or tell me to shut up! - 5:46 AM
- Ann said...
I appreciate your comments, and as usual you're right. Needs more work- sigh.
- IanT said...
Sorry - it wasn't my intention to depress you. :S
- Maggie said...
I think you do a great job setting these warm and floaty moods. Ian's right though, we need a bit more action! Doesn't mean you necessarily have to get RID of anything, just add. Which is always easier!
- Ann said...
Don't worry, I'm not depressed. More frustrated than anything (and not about your comment *g*). This too shall pass.
Thanks, Maggie, more action. Must add more action. *runs off to right*. - 10:28 AM
- Crystallyn said...
So she was cursed and booby trapped? I think I missed when they removed the curse.
Definitely more action...the snippets we've seen don't show us who is doing all the bad stuff (which mostly seem to be the mechanism that triggers all the warm floatiness...and as a result, she never seems very afraid. That's what leads to scenes like this after all!). Maggie is right...you don't need to get rid of anything, just beef it up. - 10:41 AM
- Gabriele C. said...
Geez, that sounds like we're ganging up on poor Ann, but I fourth or fifth the more action and more terrible stuff suggestion. You don't need to kill as many people as I do, lol, but Ian is right about Grace being wrapped in cotton wool. Make someone think she's moved to the bad side, kill someone she loves, whatever, make her suffer. :)
- Ann said...
The funny thing is the next scene begins her suffering: (having met her neighbor)the bad guys break into the neighbor's townhouse (and Dr. John and Laura's) making them have to flee, Smoky gets injured by the bad guys, Grace finds out that Owen is the alpha of their particular pack (this causes many difficulties), and then Grace is attacked. And that's not even a whole chapter.
- Joely Sue Burkhart said...
Everyone has valuable comments, Ann, and only YOU know what you intend and need for this story. I empathize with Gracie, which can be more than half the battle of snagging a reader. She needs to be more active in solving her own problems, but it sounds like you've got some great conflict ahead!
- Nicole said...
I'm not much of a critique help today; I'm just enjoying the story.
My suspicion, though, is that her "hell no" about Owen and betrayal could (should?) be completely off the mark... It's not completely a betrayal if it's not from someone you care about, right? - 1:17 PM
- Ann said...
Thanks Joely. Getting readers to empathize with your characters is half the battle, no? Now I just need to get to work.
Hi Nicole, I'm glad you're enjoying the story, that is the point of posting. :) You are right, but Owen isn't the only man in Grace's life that she cares about, I'm just sayin'. Have a great Labor Day weekend. - 3:13 PM

Hey Ann. Sorry it's taking me so long to return visits today.
I enjoyed reading it. I think we all have moods we prefer to write and putting in the "other stuff" is sometimes more of a chore, or at least something we feel less confident in writing and sharing, at any rate. At least that's the case for me. I'm sure figure out how to give the story what it needs, though. Good luck! - 10:58 PM
- Ann said...
Thanks Susan, I'm glad everyone is enjoying it. Have a great Labor Day.
- Carter said...
The writing is evocative, and you've obviously done a lot of research. Good stuff! I can see s lot of openings for bad stuff to start happening. Just remember: real writing is rewriting. I don't remember who came up with that piece of wisdom, but it is unfortunately too close to true.
- cherylp said...
Weird. I could have sworn I left a comment on Friday. I guess I didn't, though, 'cause my name wasn't even left on the Linky. :( I read the snippet Friday, and the comment I made was something about having a bit more action from Gracie about her problem, rather than from others for Gracie. But, hey, it's your story, and you know what you want to do with it! It's basically a good story.
- Ann said...
Thanks, Carter, I've had a chance to step back, and I believe I can fix it, but not today.
Hi Cheryl- I'm glad you said it's basically a good story, I think so too, so now I just need to spice it up some: add a dash of disaster and a teaspoon of terror (but watch that salt) :). - 11:36 PM
- Red Garnier said...
I did miss my blogging friends. Sigh. I love the excerpt. I think I've missed a few other excerpts? Your writing is indeed very evocative, Ann, and I love the characters. OF course a dash of disaster and a teaspoon of terror never hurt anybody...much. LOL! =)
- Ann said...
Hi Red, thanks for stopping by. I've been working on making things harder for Grace, and I think it's working *runs away to write more*. Have a great Labor Day.
- Joy Renee said...
i've always avoided conflict in real life so many of my early stories reflected that until one of those how-to books drove in the point that there is no story without conflict and that every scene must contain a bit of it. conflict is nothing but the thwarting of a character's attempt to achieve a desire.
it seems to me that Gracie's desire to be calm, sleepy etc. is an unhealthy lethargy (maybe a symptom of the curse?) and letting her achieve that desire would be like allowing someone to sleep through a fire alarm in a smoke filled house.
i love your characters and settings and the premise of this story--the magic, the shape shifters, the romance. - 3:07 PM

More than 100 candidates in June primary races across the state, including one in Fairfield County, will not be allowed on the ballot because of incomplete and tardy paperwork.
The S.C. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that candidates who did not file proper disclosure forms with their signatures back in March cannot appear on the June primary ballots.
Under a new system, the economic interest documents, called a Statement of Economic Interest (SEI) were supposed to be filed online with the state Ethics Commission, but the parties did not check for them. The forms include information about income and other financial information.
Last month, two Lexington County residents sued the state Republican and Democratic parties and the South Carolina Election Commission, saying several candidates for state House and Senate seats did not properly file statements of economic interests.
State law requires that statements of economic interest — a transparency measure which lists a candidate's job, salary, property and other financial information — should be filed at the same time as a candidate's declaration of candidacy. The court ruled on Wednesday that political parties should not have accepted one without the other, and that candidates who didn't submit their statements by the March 30 filing deadline will be left off the June primary ballot.
"We fully appreciate the consequences of our decision, as lives have been disrupted and political aspirations put on hold," justices wrote. "However, the conduct of the political parties in their failure to follow the clear and unmistakable directives of the General Assembly has brought us to this point."
Where does that leave both Democratic and Republican candidates running for local State House District 41 and State Senate Seat 17?
"None of the Democratic candidates here got caught up with that," said Fairfield County Democratic Party Treasurer Norma Branham. "I checked everyone to make sure."
"Republican candidates William Gray, S.C.House 41 and Bob Carrison, S.C. Senate 17, both filed a Statement of Intention of Candidacy with a Statement of Economic Interests (SEI) before the March 30, 2012 deadline; therefore they will appear on the ballot," said Kevin S. Thomas, Chairman of the Fairfield County Republican Party, after the S.C. Supreme Court ruling. "Although Morgan Bruce Reeves started the online process of filing his Statement of Economic Interest, he did not submit the SEI at the time he submitted his Statement of Intention of Candidacy. It appears he will not remain on the ballot."
Both parties are required to submit a full list of candidates who met the deadline on time.by noon on Friday, May 4 to the S.C. Election Commission.

A BIG CONGRATS on 2,400 consecutive days! Truly awesome!

Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Albuquerque GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks buddy! Ron

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Whether his coaches call him Corey or call him Philly, all that matters to Ohio State's Corey Brown is that they just keep calling his number.
Brown, dubbed "Philly" because of his hometown to differentiate him from defensive back Corey "Pittsburgh" Brown, has suddenly become the long-awaited go-to guy at wide-receiver for the Buckeyes.
"I just like the position I'm in right now, basically doing a little bit of everything," he said. "It's obviously a perfect position, being able to get some carries, being able to do the screen passes and also getting some downfield throws."
His name might not be distinctive but his numbers are.
The junior had 12 catches in the 12th-ranked Buckeyes' 17-16 win on Saturday at Michigan State. To put that into perspective, the leading receivers for the Buckeyes during the 2011 season had 14 catches.
"He's really improved. It couldn't happen to a guy that's more committed to excellence," said head coach Urban Meyer, who had verbally savaged his receivers for several months. "The good thing is he's not near what he can be."
Brown has 32 catches for 317 yards and a touchdown so far for the Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten), who host No. 21 Nebraska (4-1, 1-0) on Saturday night in a major showdown.
He's tied for 30th in the nation — something almost unheard of in recent years for an Ohio State wide-out — in receptions per game (6.40).
Much of his success stems from his volatility on short screen passes. But he's also helping the Buckeyes out by simply attracting extra defenders wary of the threat he poses.
"Philly Brown has come along and really drawn a lot of attention in coverage," receivers coach Zach Smith said. Continued...
This is all a world away from what Meyer and his staff thought last spring about Brown and his fellow wideouts. Meyer was grumpy about a lot of areas, but none more than the supposed pass-catchers. He said they were "not functional" and "probably the most unprepared group I've ever dealt with as far as practice."
Ohio State threw for just 127 yards a game last season — near the bottom in all of major-college football — with a freshman quarterback (Braxton Miller) and a group of targets who frequently dropped the passes that did get through to them. Brown, Devin Smith and Jake Stoneburner shared the team lead with a whopping 14 receptions — in 13 games.
The Ohio State leader in catches hadn't had fewer since tight end Fred Pagac hauled in a grand total of nine in 1973, back when coach Woody Hayes favored "three yards and a cloud of dust" and disdained the forward pass.
In Year One of Meyer's no-huddle, spread attack that is heavy on passing, the Buckeyes are still a shadow of what he hopes they will become when it comes to throwing the ball. But it's still a step in the right direction — even though Ohio State still needs to break more short passes for long touchdowns.
"He's allowed to make a guy miss once in a while and get more than eight yards," Meyer said of Brown, only half kidding. "Our spread is going to attack you vertically and horizontally. And our horizontal guy has to be able to shake loose from a couple of those (tackles)."
Brown was pleased with the catches that kept moving the chains at Spartan Stadium. But that was before Meyer got a chance to badger him all week in practice.
"The blocking was perfect, so we did a real good job on the perimeter," Brown said of the screen passes. "I've just got to get better using my vision and speed, and break some tackles."
Meyer openly says that if the Buckeyes don't have the speed and shiftiness to break long runs after a short pass, then he'll find someone who can.
"We've got to recruit, get some more (fast receivers)," he said. "I need three or four guys that can do that."
That doesn't mean Meyer doesn't recognize how far Brown and the others have come. Continued...
"I'm so very proud of him," he said. "He's our guy to go to right now in certain situations."
Still flush from his hometown Philadelphia Eagles big 19-17 win over the New York Giants on Sunday night — and with his own team unbeaten — Brown said he didn't care what anyone called him.
"You can call me 'Eagles' right now," he said with a laugh.

hallelujah! The Pirates win!
The Pirates win!! The streak is FINALLY over!
Alright. I'll stop with the pictures. I was just so excited last night. The Buccos beat the Cubs 2-1 and are now 8-2 against them this season. It's got to feel amazing to win that game after 34 days of straight loosing.
I tweeted this quote yesterday. Coincidence? You decide.
"Any minute, anyday, some players may break a longstanding record. That's one of the fascinations about the game." -Connie Mack
Maholm pitched an absolute beauty. He went 8IP 7H 0BB 1R 1ER 2K. 101 Pitches. He is the 1st pirates starter to go 8 innings this season. Not only did Paul pitch amazing he also got his 1st hit of the season and snapped a 0-38 hittless streak (dating back to last yr)
- Dotel got his 15th save of the season.
- GFJ who is batting .412 against the cubs this year went 0 for 3 with a BB.
- Tabata went 1-4 2B rBI SB R (5-5 for SB this season)
- Cutch w/ a RBI triple (his 5th of the yr) went 1-5 with 5 LOB – McCutchen has been going through a bit of a slump recently. Maybe a day off to recharge his batteries? He rarely gets a day off.
- Doumit 1-4 1K 3LOB. He scored the go ahead run. Although he BARLEY made it, didnt slide at the plate. He was so close to being out. Horrible base running. He has just been awful all season.
- Lastings Milledge has a .823 OPS since May 1st. He also leads all NL hitters with a .436 AVG since June 9th.
- There was yet ANOTHER collision in right field yesterday. This time involving Bobby Crosby and Lastings Milledge. Crosby was pulled on and replaced by DY. They later updated him with concussion like symptoms. He should be fine but is getting the day off today.
- Neil Walker is still having concussion symptoms. His MRI was negative and is still in pittsburgh getting futher tests. JR said today that within the next 2-3 days will determine if he needs to go on the DL.
The Pirates this season are 9-40 with 3 runs or less scored.
3 More draft picks were signed: RHP Casey Sadler (25th round) RHP Jason Townsend (31st round) and James Archibald (36th round)
Zack Duke did soft toss on Sunday and Monday. He is slated to throw of the mound on Friday and could miss 2 more starts.
Pirates vs Cubs (going into monday) Pirates vs rest of MLB
7-2 18-48
4.56 runs/gm 3.09 runs/gm

Good to see your back posting, I always enjoy reading your opinions! Anyway its great to see our Pirates get their first road win in over a month. We can lose out to the Cubs and still have the season series won, making this season a success in my opinion whether we lose 120 games or not. I hate them so much for whatever reason
Congrats on the "W".
Hopefully there are more in the Pirates future.
Always thought this might of been the Pirates year to finally hit that .500 mark andm finally remove that horrific under .500 streak.
But I guess it is better than being a running peirogie and finding you job gone after you are absentminded enough to post your negative opinions on Facebook.
We think the MLB teams are naive and do not watch the social networks, but they have their eyes everywhere….everywhere.
Hopefully this post will send you onto a small winning streak before the All-Star break….It could happen.
Rays Renegade
I'm guessing it won't be long before the Pirates follow in the Padres and Rays' paths.

Raheem Morris, former head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will be interviewed Friday for the job of Browns defensive coordinator, according to a report in the Tampa Bay Times.
Morris coached the Redskins secondary in 2012 after three seasons as Buccaneers head coach. The Buccaneers were 10-6 in 2010 but crashed in 2011 when they finished 4-12. He was 17-31 overall, including a dismal 3-13 record his first season.
New head coach Rob Chudzinski is expected to replace Dick Jauron, the defensive coordinator the last two years, though Jauron has not been officially fired.
The Browns were reportedly interested in Chargers defensive coordinator John Pagano, but the Chargers would not let him out of his contract. Pagano will stay on in San Diego and continue as defensive coordinator under new coach Mike McCoy, the former offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.
Mel Tucker, a former Browns assistant coach and currently defensive coordinator with Jacksonville is also a candidate to be the Browns defensive coordinator.
In a related item, the Browns are expected to announce some of their assistant coaches today. Included in that group are former Chargers head coach Norv Turner, who is expected to be named offensive coordinator, and George Warhop, who is likely to be retained as offensive line coach.

Oneida County & Onondaga County Sign Contract To Regionalize Medical Examiner Services
By: Rachel Polansky
Updated: December 26, 2012
Oneida County executive Anthony Picente and Onondaga County executive Joanie Mahoney signed the contract that will regionalize Oneida County's medical examiner services. The contract includes services including certifying cause of death and performing autopsies. And the county executives call it "a true consolidation of services."
"Everybody's been talking about needing to do things like this, but they've actually done it. This is a big day for Oneida County it helps us in Onondaga County because we have this facility we've invested in and now we have a broader base to serve," says Joanie Mahoney, Onondaga County executive.
"Not just for law enforcement and prosecution, but for families. It really takes a system that has been fractured, that has been antiquated, and puts it into a modern, state of the art, accredited facility," says Anthony Picente, Oneida County executive.
The contract takes effect on January 1st. And includes five assistant forensic investigator positions, which have been filled by Oneida County residents who will be serving as Onondaga County employees.

Dearborn Police: Men Posing as Water Employees Strike Again
Men that stole a significant sum of money from and elderly woman on Oct. 17 apparently tried the scam again on another Dearborn resident.
Dearborn police believe that another incident involving men posing as city employees to gain entry into resident's homes to steal from them is related to an incident earlier this week.
On Oct. 17, an 89-year-old homeowner on the 7500 block of Anthony Street was tricked into letting two men into her home. The men, who were described as Arab and in their 30s, told the woman they were worked for the water department, and needed to check her water from inside the home. Once inside, they demanded she pay a water bill, and when the victim retrieved the payment from a safe, they took all of the money in the safe.
The latest incident occurred at 2 p.m. Oct. 19 on the city's northeast end. According to police reports, two or three men described as possibly Hispanic and in their 40s or 50s tried to gain entry to a home, but failed to do so. The homeowner quickly notified police.
At the time of the first incident, Dearborn Police Lt. Dennis Topolski said he believed the incident was a repeat of one that occurred in Detroit, in the Warrendale neighborhood.
In both incidents, a white Ford Edge was seen leaving the scenes, according to police.
Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad said elderly residents have been vulnerable to this scam, and that people need to ask for ID from anyone that contends they work for the city, or from the public utilities.
"Utility companies do not go to resident's homes and collect cash payments," Haddad said. "Residents should contact the police immediately if someone comes to your home requesting cash payments. All utility company employees should have proper identification."
No arrests have been made in either case. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Dearborn Police Tip line at 313-943-3012.
Lee Jacobsen
8:30 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
They don't seem to have this particular problem near as much in Detroit.
Perhaps due to most folk opening the door with one hand, and shooting would-be crooks or imposters dead with the other.
How much do you want to bet that the perps are from Detroit, and are looking for safer areas to commit crime? It's no fun for miscreants when most of the potential victims are armed, which is the case in Detroit as the police just can't respond fast enough. End result? Commit crime where it is safer, like Dearborn and the burbs.

Dear members
The World Health Organization (WHO) statistics are harsh and unambiguous: approximately one person dies every six seconds due to tobacco and this accounts for one in 10 adult deaths. Tobacco continues to kill nearly 6 million people each year, including more than 600,000 non-smokers who die from exposure to tobacco smoke.No Tobacco Day, 31 May, serves as a timely reminder of the choice that each individual has: to continue the habit, endangering your own life and the lives of those closest to you. Or to stop, right now! That is the theme this year: 'Free yourself', perhaps the most effective slogan in recent timesNo tobacco Day is also a reminder that tobacco control is, and has for many years been, a key area of FDI work. In 2009, FDI issued a Policy Statement 'Code of practice on tobacco control for oral health organisations'. It has also issued a Fact Sheet as well as information on the serious oral health risks of tobacco use and the counselling role of the dental team, and an 'Advocacy Guide for Oral Health Professionals'. Furthermore, each year's FDI Annual World Dental Congress provides a major forum for discussion and debate of anti-tobacco initiatives within the context of oral health. I would like to salute the efforts of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) which requires the now 176 signatory Parties to regularly collect national data on the magnitude, patterns, determinants and consequences of tobacco use and exposure. The latest global progress report (2102) provides readers with the latest news on FCTC implementation around the world.In addition, the WHO Tobacco Free Initiative, through surveillance and monitoring, seeks to improve the availability of data on tobacco use, exposure and related health outcomes. It also organizes No Tobacco Day 31 May, this year with its important call to governments and all tobacco users to 'Free yourself'.With best personal regards,
Orlando Monteiro da Silva
