The Department of Health in collaboration with the Memory Services National Accreditation Programme is creating a register of all UK memory services/clinics.
UK memory services/clinics are encouraged to add their names to the register by completing a short online form. Click here to go to the Register webpage.
The information gathered will be able to give both a local and national picture about the availability of memory services in the UK and will be used in part to monitor the impact of the Prime Minister's Challenge on Dementia.
Today, David Cameron pledged to double the budget for research into dementia by 2015. He issued his Challenge on Dementia, which details key commitments and actions for making dementia a priority in Britain. The list of actions in this document includes:
Prof Martin Orrell, Chair of the programme said 'The Memory Services National Accreditation Programme has become successfully established over the last few years and now has a membership of 52 services. The endorsement from the Prime Minister is a great opportunity to improve the quality of memory services across the country to ensure that people with dementia and their families have rapid access to high quality care'
We at MSNAP are delighted that MSNAP has been given this recognition by the Prime Minister, and we would like to congratulate our members for being the first cohort of memory services to embark on this initiative.

The Gospel at Work
October 17 2012 at 11:50 am 0 CommentsRegister now for The Gospel at Work conference, coming to Covenant Life January 11-12, 2013. The conference was born out of a desire to help Christians think and live differently in the workplace. If you work a 9 to 5, will someday be working a 9 to 5, or are in between working a 9 to 5, this conference is designed for you and will build you up.
Come and be taught and encouraged by Os Guinness, Mark Dever, Bob Doll, Michael Lawrence and more fine speakers.
Despite the fact that most Christians spend half of their waking lives at work, most have been taught very little on Sunday mornings about how to apply the truths of the gospel to the practicalities of their Monday to Friday work life. It is not uncommon for Christian professionals to hold an undeveloped, if not flat-out unbiblical, theology of work.
The conference will address questions like:
• What is God's purpose for my work?
• How does the gospel change my work?
• How does applying the truths of the gospel help me manage differently?
• How does a Christian strategize and plan his or her career?
We hope you'll make plans to attend. Register online and begin to pray that God would be glorified, that employees would be built up, and that our workplaces will be an area of extraordinary, gospel-centered, faithful and fruitful living. Visit thegospelatwork.com to learn more.

Additional Resources on Fasting
September 28 2012 at 10:53 am 0 CommentsAfter his sermon this past Sunday, "Fasting: Awakening Hunger for God", Josh mentioned that he would provide appropriate resources on the topic of fasting. We pray the following three books, all available in the church bookstore, will be of value as you seek to understand and apply fasting in your Christian walk.
A Hunger for God by John Piper:
• "As an act of faith, Christian fasting is an expression of dissatisfied contentment in the all-sufficiency of Christ. It is an expression of secure and happy longing for the all-satisfying fullness of Christ … Christian fasting is not self-wrought discipline that tries to deserve more from God. It is a hunger for God awakened by the taste of God freely given in the gospel." (pg. 44)
• "The burden of Isaiah 58 pervades the ministry of Jesus—and more and more it should pervade our ministry as well." (pg. 131)
God's Chosen Fast by Arthur Wallis:
• "Fasting is a God-appointed means for the flowing of His grace and power that we can afford to neglect no longer … The fast of this age is not merely an act of mourning for Christ's absence, but an act of preparation for His return." (pg. 32)
Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life; Chapter 9: "Fasting…for the Purpose of Godliness" by Donald Whitney:
• "We cannot use fasting as a way to impress God and earn His acceptance. We are made acceptable to God through the work of Christ Jesus, not our work. Fasting has no eternal benefit for us until we have come to God through repentance and faith." (pg. 165)
•"God will bless a biblical fast by any of His children. And whether or not you receive the blessing you hope for, one thing is sure: if you knew what God knew, you would give yourself the identical blessing that He does. And none of His rewards is worthless." (pg. 178)

Championship Wins for CLS
March 7 2011 at 4:51 pm 2 CommentsWhat a memory! Roughly 600 screaming fans dressed in white were on hand at Model Secondary School for the Deaf on Saturday, February 26, to watch the Covenant Life School boys and girls varsity basketball teams win back-to-back championship games for the second year in a row!
The Lady Cougars, behind fourth-year head coach Dave Marable, led for most of the game and won in convincing fashion against Grace Brethren School. As she's done all year, Kristen Mstowski (tournament MVP) led the way in scoring for the Cougars. The girls came into their fifth championship game in five years with an undefeated schedule and brought home their tenth conference basketball banner. The team is coached by Dave Marable and Wayne Cates.
The boys, led by fifth-year head coach Jim Lutz, won their second conference championship in dramatic fashion with an incredible come-from-behind victory. The guys were behind 12 points with two minutes left, but they refused to buckle under pressure in an intense game where Nick Riddlesburger and Daniel Ferry (tournament MVP) made key shots to bring home the second boys' championship banner. The boys are also coached by Bob Ferry. Both teams compete in the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference (PVAC).
We are so proud of the way these players have reflected the Savior throughout the season to opposing teams, fans and officials. Many times we've received encouraging notes from others outside Covenant Life School who enjoyed watching our team play with sportsmanship and class. Well done!
—Kris Marcantonio, Middle School Principal, Athletic Director

First 'Good News Club' Was a Success
June 19 2010 at 6:25 pm 0 Comments
Starting this fall, Covenant Life volunteers hope to host year-long "Good News Clubs" at several public schools in our area. If you and your family would like to get in on the excitement, please join us for a Good News Club Information Meeting on Sunday, June 27, from 1:15 to 1:45 p.m. in Room 155.
Here's a report on Covenant Life's first Good News Club:
For six weeks this spring, Covenant Life Church had the joy of hosting a club at a nearby elementary school. Over 15 students participated in this after-school program, enthusiastically singing about Jesus and learning from the Bible. Pastors Mike Bradshaw, Joe Lee, and Ben Wikner shared in the teaching, while Charlene Vigil, Becky Faherty, and Suzy S. provided world-class administrative support. Several Covenant Life teens served by befriending the club members and helping to lead singing.
The club met after school on Wednesdays from 3:15-4:45. At each meeting club members received a snack, memorized Scripture, heard the gospel repeatedly during times of teaching and singing, were inspired by missionary stories, and had a chance to speak one-on-one with an adult if they had questions. Prizes and goodie bags made the whole experience a little sweeter.
Good News Clubs are a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship, which has served children in hundreds of countries around the world since 1937. A few other churches in Montgomery County have been successfully hosting Good News Clubs for years; the club held recently was Covenant Life's first venture into this exciting form of community outreach. But there is almost unlimited potential for expansion.
After the final club meeting on June 9, a grateful parent handed one of the club leaders this note: "I cannot express enough thanks for all you instilled in my son. Unfortunately, we stopped going to church and being strengthened by the Word shortly after he was born, and although I try to show or express to him how awesome our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is, he lets me know he's still not sure if he believes. I feel assured that Jesus has sent His servants from your church to speak the Word of God to him and plant the seed. Praise His Holy Name!"

Education Options
March 11 2010 at 5:43 pm 1 CommentsOn Sunday, February 21, I took a few minutes to talk to the church about education options. My focus was on our sobering responsibility as parents to steward the hearts and minds of our children as we guide them through their school years, and on guarding our unity as different families choose different education paths. Above is the video of my comments.

The Financing of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations: The Need for a Sound Financial Basis
Contrary to the general perception, not all United Nations peacekeeping operations are financed by special arrangements separate and distinct from those of the Organization's ordinary expenses under its regular budget. In fact, of the seventeen peacekeeping operations initiated by the United Nations during its forty-four year history, six were or are being financed from the United Nations regular budget. If only for that reason - there are other reasons as well - the Organization's capacity to maintain its peacekeeping operations is profoundly affected by the financial "health" of the United Nations in respect of the regular budget.

Rain Delay Comments and Tidbits
I was chuckling pretty hard last night at the Keystone Cop routine the New York Yankees were playing during the rain delay/decision-making process. It was kinda funny that the Rays braodcaster kinda already knew the postponement was in hand, but the stadium tunred on the light and was selling concession out the ying yang.
Guess that is Hank Steinbrenner's way of getting some extra cash for beer and hot dog sales before he breaks their hearts and sends them home in the rain. But I think that with a $ 200 million dollar payroll you have yo do those sort of things to balance the budget.
So on we go with a day/night doubleheader today. It should be a fun time in the old Bronx . Considering the season has only 16 days left to it, these games had to be played some time this weekend. So with that in mind, I decided to do a tidbits column about all the odds and ends stuff we have on our plates today.
I am sorry to report that the Durham Bulls have lost their series against the Scraton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. The Bulls were blasted out of Durham Athletic Park 20-2 last night in a game that Bulls starter Wade Davis never had under his control last night.
The Yankees dominated right from the get-go, plating five runs in the second and third innings, a run in the fifth, eight in the sixth and one in the ninth. Juan Miranda did the most damage, going 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, two runs scored and six driven in. The Bulls, meanwhile, mustered only a run in the fourth and another in the eighth on a Gabby Martinez home run.
Wade Davis (1-1, 6.75) never found his groove giving up eight runs – five earned – on four hits and six walks. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's Phil Hughes (1-0, 0.69) was dominant, striking out 12 Bulls in only five innings and allowing a run on four hits and four walks.
The Yankees advanced to the Express Employment Professionals Bricktown Showdown Triple-A Championship Tuesday at Oklahoma City's AT&T Bricktown Park. They will face the winner of the Pacific Coast League Championship Series, which is currently being contested by Oklahoma City and Sacramento.
But good news does come out of Durham for the Rays as theyr recalled Outfielder/DH Jonny Gomes, and pitchers Jeff Neimann, David Price and Mitch Talbot. Gomes is happy to be back with the big club and is anxius to get to New York to play in one of the two game against the Yankees. Pity the Yankees have not called up Shelly Duncan so Jonny and him can settle things over a pilsner and a steak.
Great to see Talbot up again. You might remember he had a 24 hour stint up in the majors this season before the Rays sent him back down to Durham. Jeff Niemann will get another look-see, and might even get a start in one of the two games today. It is just speculation, but the rumor is one of the guys being called up will get a shot at pitching soon with the Rays.
Of course all signals would normally point to David Price being that guy, but I believe that Rays Manager Joe Maddon will let the kid take a few days, or innings to absorb the enviorment. But then again, if they have decided to use him as a reliever for the rest of the year, he could see action fast up here in New York. Maybe as early as tomorrow or the night game.
I was watching the "Inside the Rays" segment on former pitcher Doug Creek last night and have to tell you the guy looks healthier than he ever did on the mound in those shots. You might remember Creek for his hard stare and massive curveball on the mound for the Rays. But the Trop. still has a few stained turf spots in front of the Bullpen where Creek used to sit and chew tobacco and spit it in a determined segment of the carpet.
Also there is the time when Creek was out on his boat a little later than he wanted to be, and he had to get to the ballpark. Well, Doug put the boat on it's trailer and towed it to the 3rd Avenue South, just behind the players parking lot area. He parked it on the street in the section right before the turn in for the parking lot in a 2-hour parking spot. He let the stadium security guy know it was his truck, and he could not get it and the boat into the lot without some hassle.
The players' lot is a simple rectangular lot, and manuvering a boat in that small section would be next to impossible. Well, Doug went into the lockerrom and dressed for the game not knowing that the St. Petersburg Police Department was in the process of towing his boat and truck away as a violation of the post-911 city ordinances about vehicles without operators on-site.
The did not take the 5 minutes to talk to the stadium security, or to even get with the Rays or Creek before having a tow truck impound Creeks boat and truck. No one knew the truck was gone until after the game, and then everything hit the fan.
The situation was a bit tense for about an hour before the towing company guy showed up and took Doug to his truck and boat. There was no damage to either and Doug got into the truck and drove home. Creek never again brought his boat to the Trop after that night.
Also of note is the wild situation that Hurricane Ike has put on the the MLB schedule. As of last night, there are 4 doubleheaders today and one scheduled for Sunday. Not since the mid-1080′s has the league had to have as many postponments on games due to weather.
Evan Longoria is also penciled into the afternoon contest for the first action since damaging his wrist during the Seattle away series on August 7th. Longoria was hoping to face some live pitching before coming back, but will instead face Yankee stater Mike Mussina in the game. Longoria must feel great to finally get back on the field, but must do it against the slurveball throwing Mussina who is by far the class of the Yankees pitching staff this season.
The Rays lost a Friday coin flip and will have to travel to Fenway Park if a one-game playoff is needed to break a tie for the AL East championship, though the game would only be played if the losing team was not going to be the wild card. ( HINT, HINT)
Executive VP Andrew Friedman called tails, joking that he did "a thorough analysis" and that after senior VP Gerry Hunsicker, who'd lost several when with Houston, recommended heads, he went with tails. Principal owner Stuart Sternberg said he actually made the call.
There was a lot of Internet buzz after Rays reliever Troy Percival looked on TV to be pointing at and calling teammate Carlos Pena a four-letter word before leaving Wednesday's game hurt.
Percival said Friday he didn't recall doing so, but Pena, after some thought, recalled the situation. He said Percival did use the bad word, but in the context of Boston's David Ortiz on first, who represented the tying run, something like "That (bad word) doesn't score."
September Call Ups Part 1
I know a few names might be missing off the suspected roster call ups on September 1st, but you got to remember that two of our farm teams have playoff aspirations and might not have their players brought up until mid September of this year.
With the success of the Triple-A Durham Bulls, and the playoff push by the Montgomery Biscuits, the two teams will have to haorde a few players until their playoff aspirations are completed, or they win the whole thing. With that in mind, the Rays did a great bit of foresight by protecting at least two spots on the post season roster for players still involved in the farm system playoff races.
With the Rays bringing up injured reliever Jae Kuk Ryu to the major league disabled list, it makes him and injured reliever Chad Orvella the two guys who could be dropped off the roster due to injury, and two other guys inserted into their spots. Most people have opinions on whose those two players should be, and who should see the playoffs from the stands.
I can tell you this, the addition of Fernando Perez to the roster is a great additon based on speed and ability to play any outfield position. If he can get us a few extra runs down the stretch as a pinch-runner, all the better. But if he can give us more depth and give the guys in the outfield a few days off, it will help refresh a few of these guys and get their minds sharp for the post season.
Now I have already heard a few grumbles about David Price or Wade Davis not being here right now, but think about it, they are getting valuable experience playing in the Triple-A playoffs right now. That is the kind of education you can not buy or substitute. It will give them a taste of what will be October right now. So iof either of them are put on the Post Season Roster, they will be mentally prepared for the excitement and the adrenaline rush that comes with the call up.
I am a bit upset not to see two of the Rays' veterans not get a shot up here this September. I am a huge fan of thinking that Mike DiFelice has done everything asked of him this year, and did not get rewarded with even a call up. I know he is entering the twi-light of his career, but name another player who has sweated and been there for the Rays since 1998.
Even though he was not with the franchsie for a few years, you know he watched and wanted those guys to have the excitement and the dream of a playoff berth. And now he is not even invited to be up here just for the September run. Pity, he deserves better from the Rays.
And, this might not a popular pick, but I feel Jonny Gomes needs to be here as soon as the Durham playoffs are over. People have been knocking him all year, but as soon as he got some extra at bats in Durham, he exploded and is hitting with more power and even placing the ball into the oppositie fields.
I am not asking that Gomes be put on the post season roster unless he shows his bat is alive and deserving of a shot, but that he is the heart and soul of more than the players here in Tampa Bay. I think the crowd will aslo feed off Jonny's vibe and get into this playoff push with more vigor and enegry. He has been the poster boy for a few years of the confidience and the energy of this team. It would be a shame if he can not even come up and help them get to October 1st without even picking up a bat.
I understand the bringing up of John Jaso is a call up to get him some familiarity with the major leagues. Jaso is our future catcher, and might even be a back-up in 2009 for the Rays. He has improved alot at Triple-A, and with a teacher like DeFelice, you can go wrong. His increased awareness behind and at the plate will work in his favor when he is up here with the Rays. He can also get a few spot starts and get the feel for the type of abilities he will have to display and improve on to be here next year.
We have a young team in many areas, and it will just get better with a maturation process in the next few years. Players will be added and subtracted to make this team stronger and more flexible in the near future. I know a few familiar faces might not even be here next season for the Rays, and that might just be a true sign of the level of competition we have finally reached on this team.
This team is about to hit a stretch run from hell, but with the pitching starting to click on all 8 cylinders, and the hitting supporting itself, we might just see a push for 100 wins this year. I am not counting on that total, but it might be a fun sight to see the drive for it this year. I am still stuck on my number of 95 wins will be needed to secure a playoff spot.
The great bit about the playoffs is that we can beat every team that is fighting for the positons. The Angels, White Sox and Red Sox all know we can beat them.
The Twins have not been around us enough yet, but you know they do believe they will have to make a statement in the next homestand against us here at the Trop. That series might be one of the best played series in the Trop. this year, with a playoff spot as the reward for both teams.
Hopefully we can pop the champagne before they leave for Baltimore or Detroit, but that will take alot of help from other team for that to happen at the Trop before that 8-game roadtrip to end the season.
And do not forget, besides the Detroit 4 games, we have a makeup contest from the first week of the season against the Orioles. That game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on September 23rd, with game 1 presently being telecasted on FSN at 5:05 P.M.
Rays First Half Report Card 6-10
On March 31,2008, I wrote a blog with goals and needs for the Rays this season. Reasons 6-10 of the "Top 10 Must Happens" for 2008, are listed below. Tomorrow I will post reasons 1-5 before the Rays take on the Toronto Bluejays at the Trop.
On to the list:
6). Our Prospects need to improve……..just incase:
Our franchsie has been blessed with a great amount of minoir league pitching and position players. It is considered by many to be one of the best stocked systems in baseball. Pitchers like David Price, Wade Davis and Jeremy Hellickson might not get to the majors this season, but make a great backload of talent and trade bait for the team.
Price is the one member of the pitching prospects who might crack the major league roster before Septembers' call-ups. He has been brilliant in the minors, going 4-0, with a 1.83 ERA at Double-A. For his short career, Price is currently 7-0 for the organization.
Another guy who might be up here in September is catcher John Jaso. Jaso can hit for power and is a great communicator behind the plate. He is sure to battle for a back-up role next season for the Rays.
7). Rightfield guys have to be consistant and kick butt:
The pre-season arrangement of Jonny Gomes, Eric Hinske, and Cliff Floyd did not materialize completely as planned for Rays Manager Joe Maddon. Floyd's knees are not good enough to get him out there, and Gome's bat is great, but not consistant enough to place him out there on a regular basis yet.
The complete surprise of it all is the outstanding play of Eric Hinske. Hinske was fighting for just a roster spot in the spring, and now could be another huge piece of the puzzle for the Rays down the stretch run. His bat has been massive, and his outfield play is adequate for the Rays. He does have great clsoing speed in the outfield, but not playing there regularly for a few years, he has shown some rusty moments in right.
Another pleasant surprise has been the trade for former Brewer Gabe Gross to the Rays. It gives some stability in the late innings, and Gross's bat has been productive for the team in numerous occasions. Both these guys have been a plus, plus for the squad this year.
The only reason this is not an "A" right now is the simple problem of no right-hande bat to help the lineup. Gomes had done a great job when he has been incerted into the lineup, but he is not an everyday solution for the team. The Rays are currently looking into trading for such a bat, but at this time, the players named might be too costly to obtain for a short period of time. Rocco Baldelli has a darkhorse chance of maybe playing this year for the Rays, and could be the guy for the position.
8.) The 1-2-3 Setup guys have to secure the game:
With the time Al Reyes and Troy Percival have spent on the DL this season, the Rays have stayed on contention this year. It was thought at the beginnig of the year, that these 3 guys had to gel into a unit to be a force in the backend of the Bullpen. With Percival and Reyes out of the lineup, Wheeler and Grant Balfour have stepped up and transformed the Bullpen into a consistant unit.
With the emergence of J P Howell as a lefty setup guy, the Rays have a two-pronged attack to get to the 8th or 9th innig and let Wheeler or Balfour get the save opportunity. Both Percival and Reyes are to be back in the fold in the coming weeks. This will further cement this unit with experience and strength down the stretch this year.
Grade……………………………………..A for effort, A for being one of the best Bullpen ERA turnarounds inthe last 50 years.
9). Catching has to hit a new high this season:
Rays Manager Joe Maddon wanted it, the fans wanted it, and Dioner Navarro gave it to us. Navarro is having a breakout year where he has not batted below .300 at any point this season. To further illustrate his upward moves, Navarro was also recently selected to his first All Star game.
Match that with the renewed leadership with this youg staff. His take-charge attitude, and his great game-calling skills, and we have finally seen the catcher we had hoped Navvaro would be last year.
To compliment him, back-up Shawn Riggans has not bee silient either. With limited time, he has also showed great improvement at the palte and behind the dish. Riggans hightlight has to be catching the 1-hitter by Matt Garza in Miami against the Marlins.
Grade……………………………………………….. A+ Extra Credit points
10). Akinora Iwamura must feel at home at second base:
I saved the best for last and did not even know it here. Aki has been nothing short of brilliant at second for the Rays this year. He is only the second person in MLB history to play his first season at 3rd for over 100 games, and then play 2nd for another 100 game to begin his career. The last guy…………….Ryne Sandberg.
Aki has seemed poised and relaxed out there with Jason Bartlett, and has been a great pivot man for the double play for the Rays. He only recently committed his 2 errors at the position, tops in the AL.
Grade………………………………………………… A
So that is the bottom half of my pre-season wants and needs by the Rays in 2008. I am glad to see we are only 1/2 game behind Boston, and I look forward to the team beginnig their first stretch run on Friday night.
Do not forget, all fans attending the game on Friday night get a $5 GAS card from Hess Express. So if you have a group of friends wanting to see the Rays, bring them out and get a card for everyone in your party.
Also Friday night is $1 Hot Dog night at the Trop. You can feed yourself a tubesteak for a buck and still have enough for a free frosty beers.
See you at the Trop…………………………
Rays Continue Losing in Cleveland
Should I be proud that the Rays "fought the good fight" Sunday, or be more concerned with the silent bats in the lineup. Should I be looking at the starters who imploded at the worst time for the Rays and showed a huge weakspot on our team.
Should I be concerned that we seem to be a bad hitting team against right-handers' right now. I am going to pick…………. none of the above.
Every team goes though a slump or struggles during the season. We just did it as a team this year compared to other years where we could just do it anytime, and anywhere. It does bother me that Carl Crawford is 0-24 during the last few games. But it is a great sight to also see Eric Hinske go 3-4 with some power. It was even great to see Jonny Gomes hustle around the bases and show that he wants it again. He must have read this blog Sat. night.
This team has risen so far from the ashes, and been so dominating this year that a dip in the road was foreseen and actually predicted by everyone. Most thought it might be a season-ending slump like the New York Mets, or a resurgance like the Houston Astros a few years ago by someone below us right now. Both could still happen, but my money is still on this team fighting to the last day to show they belong at the top.
I was sitting on the couch wathcing Friday night's game and my girlffriend told me to be nice to Jonny when I wrote about the game. She knew I held a spot for Jonny in my top players mindset and would blast him about his play.
Well, I did blast him, but he also did come out on Sunday and show me he still has that fire and ability to produce and succeed on this squad. For that I am glad he got the message, that he is again fighting for his right to be here. We all know that the Non-Waiver Trade Deadline is closing in on this team. Decisions will be made about players and only the strong will survive the purge.
If Jonny keeps showing that "Pete Rose" hustle, he deserves to still wear the starburst and blue.
Scott Kazmir blasted his teammates the other day about their drive and focus on the team duing this horrible roadtrip. For the record, the Rays went 0-6 on this trip and went from being 5 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox, to looking up at them in the standing.
The losing streak took them out of first place in the AL East. It is a spot they have held for 14 straight days after sweeping the Red Sox at home. During that time, the Rays bats went silient to the tone of hitting .187 during the Cleveland series.
The Rays starting pitching showed holes and breaks in their delivery that had not been seen this season. The Rays starter have been the backbone of this resurgance in the standings. The maturity of the young staff showed the rest of the league that you did not have to have a wily veteran to have a staff fulfill promise and succeed. This starting staff is all under 26 years of age and was playing like a veteran staff before this last road trip.
Getting back to Scott Kazmir. Scott started this game like a man possessed. He seemed to have the weight of the team on his back to end this 6-game losing streak. For such a young age, Kazmir has been the rock on this staff for years.
This season he seemed to have the chance to relax and just pitch instead of have to end losing streaks or put a "W' on the board for the Rays. Kazmir looked out of place early on in the fatc he might have changed his pitching make-up to finally be a pitcher instead of a hurler. It showed in several instances in the game where the old Kazmir might have just blew it by a guy instead of trying to put a pitch in a certain spot.
This got Kazmir in trouble early in the game on a ball hit to B J Upton. Upton misread the break on the ball in the air and tried to catch it over the wrong shoulder. Casey Blake hit a over the plate change-up out to Upton on the play. In the past, Kazmir would not have tried to force that pitch into his routine. Instead he would have fired a knee high fastball just over the edge of the plate for a strikeout.
Kazmir went 6 innings and collected 7 strikeouts on the night. He seemed to go back to the "old" Kaz and fire them in there after his slider was not breaking well for him. Kazmir threw 104 pitches, and probably took himself out of any pitching in the All Star game on Tuesday.
The AL skipper. Terry Francona will probably only use Kazmir now if he needs a late inning guy after all his other troops have hit the mound.
The Rays only managed 3 hits on Sunday against the Indians. The Rays were rewarded in the 2nd inning by Cleveland for their patient manner at the plate. In the 2nd inning, Indian starter Jeremy Sowers had some critical control problems.
The problems included a balk to move Gomes into scoring position. Gomes stealing 3rd a few plays later, and then 4 straight walks to put the Rays up 1-0 in the game. Sowers continued to struggle in the 3rd with Carlos Pena lining a single to rightfield, then Gomes again walking for the Rays.
Shawn Riggans came on and popped a single to put the Rays up 2-0 and collect his 16th RBI of the year. That would be the last of the scoing for the Rays on Sunday as the Indians normally inept reliever shut the Rays down from the 3rd inning on in the contest.
The Rays had 14 strikeouts on Sunday giving them 694 strikeouts for the year. That ranks them first in the AL, but 8th in the majors this year.
On Wed and Thursday of this week, I will be reviewing the preseason blogs listing the "Top 10 " things I thought the Rays needed to do to be successful in 2008. Since they are travel days and no games are scheduled, it just felt like thr gith time to see how the Rays have faired on my preseason list.
I look forward to giving the positive stats and results of the first half, and also reporting the pitfalls that might still be in front of this squad.
Have a great time watching the Home Run Derby tonight. I am personally picking the Rangers' Josh Hamilton to win it all tonight. I think he is just having that kind of year you just want to sit back and watch, knowing he deserves it all.
If I had to take a dark-horse, or someone who might surprise us all, I am going to go with the Philles' Chase Utley to take afew into the dark night and maybe be the upset in this contest.
Rays Score, But Still Fall to Indians
The worst thing about this 6-game losing streak is the fact it will make the nay-sayers' and doubters' more than happy to see a Tampa Bay slump. All year long the media in the upper East Coast has been wanting and hoping for such a slide.
To consider that this squad has not has a losing streak of any length before now is really quite amazing considering it's history, but the "no"-boys only see the kink in the Rays armor. I have read a few blogs and viewpoints where the Rays have been thrown again to the wolves and are considered only a "comet that shines bright then fades into the black."
Wow, nice imagery, but what worse is it is from a popular magazine that has seemed to have our backs most of the year. Now, they have taken a "let's see" approach to us even having a rebound or playoff type year.
All I have to add to this is tha fact that this team has never been here before. We have nopt had a late season push for the playoffs and folded, or even made it then imploded.
Can't you just reward the effort and know that the best years are still in the can. If we hit the playoffs this year, it will not be the last time. If we get past a few rounds, it might not be the only time you see us in that position. But, can we at least get in that position before the world decides to knock us down…………….and we will get back up and go for it all over again, and again, and again.
Dioner Navarro has had a helluva week. He is going back to New York as an All-Star, and he is going to re-visit his Yankee past while he is there. Remember Navarro was a first round draft pick of the Yankees in 2000.
He has been a constant force on this team this season, both at the plate, and behind it. He will only the 4th youngest Ray to ever make the All-Star team, and the first Rays' catcher to have that honor.
When the season began, I questioned his ability as a leader with the pitching staff. Since Texas, I have seen this guy grow by leaps and bounds both in confidience, and in leadership with this young starting pitching staff. You do not find alot of staffs that have a catcher as young as it's up and coming aces. And you usually do not see them in contention for a divisional title while going through their aches and pains.
For that reason, I applaude and respect the job Navarro has done for the Rays in this first half of the season.
Navarro again did it at the plate for the Rays on Sat. night. In the game Navarro went 2-3 on the night and hit a timely 2-run double down the rightfield line in the 8th inning. It helped the Rays extend their scoing in the inning, and help boost the morale on the Rays bench.
Cliff Floyd has had an intersting first half to this season. He has battled knee aliments, been shuffling in and out of the line-up, but has come to play every day. The 14 year veteran has made 34 starts this year, all at DH for the team.
Floyd's 2-run single in the 8th inning, snapped an 0-21 streak for runners in scoring position for the Rays. His scoring play was the first Rays runs since Jonny Gome's 2-run blast in Thursday nights game. Floyd went 2-4 in the contest and ends the first half with a .264 average and 18 RBI's for the season.
Rays starter Matt Garza was trustingf his pitches early on in this game, before he ran into trouble in the 2nd inning. The IUndians took advantage of a control issue with his 2-seam fastball and slider that were just missing and up on the night.
Garza worked only 5 innings, and gave up 11-hits and 7 runs before being relived by JP Howell,Dan Wheeler and Trever Miller. Garza had 6 strikeouts on the night and gave up two homers to Grady Sizemore and Ryan Garko.
Eric Hinske had a great night himself on Sat. night for the Rays. Hinske, who had been odd-man out with two straight lefties starting for the Indians took advantage of his time by going 3-4 on the night with 3 singles.
Hinske, who has batted .278 against right-handed pitching this season, seemed in control at the plate and in the field. Hinske was batting 3rd for the Rays tonight in place of B J Upton, who was given the night off by Rays Manager Joe Maddon.
Hinske responded with an outfield assist in the 2nd inning, and several close plays in the game. On one play in the 2nd inning, both Hinske and Gross left their feet to try and get a dying ball hit into rightcenterfield. Gross ended up throwing out Carroll on the play.
Grant Balfour came on in the 8th inning and worked 1/3 of an inning and gave up a run on 1 hit to end the game for the Rays.
Tampa Bay did get 3 outfield assists in the game against Cleveland. The first came in the bottom of the second on a ball hit to shallow rightfield that Eric Hinske got back into second in time to catch Ben Francisco over-running the bag and being tagged out by Ben Zorbrist for the second out of the inning.
The second was a play at the plate involving Indian Jamey Carroll, where he tried to score on a ball off the centerfield wall. Gabe Gross retreived the ball and threw it to Akinora Iwamura, who turned and fired a strike to Navarro for the tag-out at home to end the inning.
The last outfield assist involved Carl Crawford in the 8th inning. Casy Blake had singled to left, and Jhonny Peralta was trying to sneak into third on the play. Crawford put a bullet on-line to Evan Longoria who applied the tag for the 3rd out of the inning.
The Rays have hit .210 in this series and have only scored 6 runs. They are hitting .187 on the roadtrip, with 7 runs. The Rays have also only hit .200, with 11 total runs on the 6 game losing streak. The Rays are also hitting only 0.85 ) 4 for 47) with runners in scoring position.
The Rays are currently on pace to allow 665 runs, more than 284 runs less than last season. Only 2 teams in the modern era have had such a huge run drop-off from one year to the next. It would be the 8th greatest run decrease in the history of the league.
Trever Miller logged his 116th consecutive relief appearance without a decision last night tying former Rays Bobby Seay for the longest such streak in the last 50 years. Trever's last decision was a win in Atlanta on Sept. 30, 2006.
Prior to this series, Rays starters have allowed 3-earned runs or less in 20 of the last 21 games. In this series, they have allowed, 6, 5,and 7 earned runs in the first 3 games.
The Rays pitching staff had held opponents to a .244 average this year, 3rd lowest in the majors. But, Cleveland has batted .352 and have scored 26 runs
The Rays starters have failed to go 5+ innings only once in their last 30 games. The Rays have made 22 erros in their last 23 games. The Raya began the season by only committing 30 in their first 71 games.

I'm looking at taking the Eurostar train from London to the continent. My goal is to get to Amsterdam from London in a day, but if I type London to Amsterdam on the Eurostar webpage it says that there isn't any service. What gives?

So on Friday night my husband and I were supposed to have our first date out with just the two of us without the baby. My in laws came in to watch him for the evening. We were planning to go to one of our favorite restaurants - a popular spot, but not really known for being reservations required. It took an hour to get there - one train, one bus. And we got there and it was packed! They couldn't get us a table until 8:00 (we were there around 6:00). Of course we couldn't hang around for two hours with my in laws babysitting at home. So we had to turn around and come back. :-( We ended up having pasta with a quick marinara sauce.
Saturday, we decided to go back to the place, with reservations since we had a Groupon for dinner there that expires in a week. We took the baby and I had him in the sling, so he pretty much slept the whole time, except when he woke up for his own dinner. It was a great night out. We split gravlax and toast for an appetizer, and he got a roasted pork loin in a red wine reduction with mashed potatoes and braised red cabbage. I got Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers and ligonberries. And despite being lactose-intolerant I decided to cheat and got a chocolate mousse for dessert. It was soooo good, but I paid for it later... and I didn't complain for feeling sick since if you play, you pay.
Tonight I cooked Sunday dinner here at home. I made bacon wrapped center cut pork chops with apple and onions, braised in apple cider with a shot of brandy. Seasoned with salt, pepper and fresh thyme. I did a few boiled potatoes and had some sauerkraut on the side. Delicious and simple. And for some reason I was craving corn bread so I made a pan of that and called it dessert. We like northern style corn bread, so it's on the sweet side, so I suppose that counts.
Tomorrow, I'm not sure what I'm doing. We had a winter session of our farmers market, so I got some lovely looking Lacinato kale and cremini mushrooms. And I went to an old school butcher today and picked up some smoked kielbasa, a pair of apple bratwursts, a pair of Chicago-style bratwursts, a quarter pound of lamb sausage and a small pork and chicken liver pate with whole peppercorns. I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a cabbage or two at the market, so I can do up some choucroute and make my own sauerkraut, so hopefully they still have some next weekend.

IN MEMORIAM: Sergio Franzese (1963-2010). Our friend and colleague Sergio Franzese, Assistant Professor of the University of Lecce, died from cancer on May 26th.
Sergio was one of the most active William James scholars in Europe. He obtained a PhD in philosophy from the University of Pisa and one from Vanderbilt University. His work covered pragmatism, the philosophy of Nietzsche as well as a variety of other fields.
His two most recent books bear the titles Darwinismo e Pragmatismo and The Ethics of Energy: William James' Moral Philosophy in Focus. Other works can be found on his personal website.
We will remember Sergio not only from his writings, but also as a person. He had a keen mind, warm heart, and energetic spirit. He will be greatly missed.

IN MEMORIAM: Edward Harry Madden.
On December 28th Rochester, New York, marked the 100th anniversary of William James' presidential address to the American Philosophical Association, "The Energies of Men", with a full day of events. Seminars on James' address and on his proposal for a non-violent army that would fight the moral equivalent of war were held at St. Paul's New Parish Library, followed by a reader's theater presentation of an original play by Tim Madigan, and a discussion of Madigan's interpretation of James' alleged refutation of William K. Clifford's ethics of belief. During the lunch break, participants looked for squirrels and argued about who had gone around whom. The late afternoon program included a session on nitrous oxide at the University of Rochester Medical School, which got a lot of laughs by reviewing James' accounts of his experiences with the gas. The evening events included talks by Tim Madigan and David White at the Baobab Cultural Center, and ended with a séance at which the
spirit of William James made a brief appearance and expressed his personal gratitude for the spirit in which Rochester James Day had been conducted. The Jamesian presence suggested that next year we reserve a block of rooms all off the same corridor in a downtown hotel and adhere even more closely to the inspiration of Giovanni Papini.
Rochester, NY will mark the 100th anniversary of William James' presidential address to the American Philosophical Association with a full day of events, free and open to the public.
An interview with Robert D. Richardson about his book William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism will be published in early December on bookslut.com. The interview was conducted by writer J.C. Hallman, author of the Jamesian influenced book The Devil is a Gentleman: Exploring America's Religious Fringe.
The New York Times review of Deborah Blum's new book Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life after Death is available online.
Brazil through the Eyes of William James, Diaries, Letters and Drawings, 1865-1866 (ISBN 0674021339), by Maria Helena Machado (University of Sao Paulo), is scheduled to be published in August 2006 by Harvard University's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies and Harvard University Press. The book is a critical and bilingual (English-Portuguese) edition of William James's diaries, letters, and drawings from the several months he served as a volunteer on Louis Agassiz's research expedition to Brazil.
Deborah Blum, Pulitzer Prize winner and professor of science journalism at the University of Wisconsin, has written a book on William James's involvement in psychical research. The book is titled Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life after Death (ISBN 1594200904) and will be published by Penguin Press in August 2006.
A new intellectual biography of William James is scheduled for publication in November 2006 by Houghton Mifflin Company. The book is written by prize-winning biographer Robert D. Richardson and titled William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism (ISBN 0618433252).
The first issue of William James Studies has been published online by the University of Illinois Press. Featured are essays by Randy Friedman, Amy Kittelstrom, Joel Krueger, and Ruth Anna Putnam. Also included are two addresses delivered at annual meetings of the American Philosophical Association by past presidents of the Society.

Despite President Obama's celebrated gift for oratory, the Obama supporters least surprised by his underwhelming performance against Mitt Romney may have been two of his top advisers.
Senior strategists David Plouffe and David Axelrod have long doubted Obama's debating skills. Their concerns date back to the 2008 presidential campaign, as Plouffe wrote in his book, The Audacity to Win. He put it plainly: "Historically, Obama was not a strong debater."

The story of the birth of accounting begins with numbers. In the 1400s, much of Europe was still using Roman numerals, and finding it really hard to easily add or subtract. (Try adding MCVI to XCIV.)
But fortunately, Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) started catching on, and with those numbers, merchants in Venice developed a revolutionary system we now call "double-entry" bookkeeping. This is how it works:

Scientists in Japan report they have created eggs from stem cells in a mammal for the first time. And the researchers went on to breed healthy offspring from the eggs they created.
While the experiments involved mice, the work is being met with excitement — and questions — about doing the same thing for humans someday.

With the first presidential debate now behind us, what's the next big item on the campaign calendar?
It's Friday's 8:30 a.m. ET release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics about the September unemployment rate and how many jobs were added to payrolls last month.

In case anyone was wondering, this week's presidential debate demonstrated why incumbent presidents and others leading in the polls used to refuse to debate their challengers.
After John F. Kennedy used the first TV debates to boost his campaign against incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon in 1960, there simply were no debates until 1976. Running again with a big lead in 1968 and 1972, Nixon declined to debate and won both times. Lyndon B. Johnson also demurred in 1964 without damage en route to a landslide.
In the aftermath of death, many adults struggle with how to talk to kids while dealing with their own grief. Often, the instinct is to protect children from pain and loss. That can sometimes leave kids out of the family grieving process, which can leave them feeling lonely and misunderstood.
The Oxford English Dictionary needs your help. Do you know where words like disco, baked Alaska or email come from? For years the widely regarded authority in the English language has asked the public for help tracking down the history of words and phrases. Yet as our lexicon evolves, the mission grows even tougher. A new initiative called OED Appeals hopes to solve that problem by using that same crowdsourcing approach online.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Schizotypal personality disorder is one type of eccentric personality disorder. This means that the behavior and mannerisms of someone with this disorder may appear odd to others.
Schizotypal personality disorder is on the schizophrenia spectrum, but individuals with this disorder usually do not experience psychosis.
Who Is at Risk?
Schizotypal personality disorder tends to run in families. You may be at risk if you have a relative with:
- schizophrenia
- schizotypal personality disorder
- another personality disorder
Environmental factors, especially childhood experiences, may play a role in the development of this disorder. These factors include:
- abuse
- neglect
- trauma or stress
- having a parent who is emotionally detached
Signs and Symptoms
Most individuals are diagnosed in early adulthood. Symptoms include:
- strange thinking or behavior
- unusual beliefs
- discomfort in social situations
- lack of emotion or inappropriate emotional responses
- odd speech that may be vague or rambling
- lack of close friends
- extreme social anxiety
- paranoia
Hallucinations, delusions (fixed, false beliefs), and loss of touch with reality are hallmarks of psychosis. People with schizotypal personality disorder do not usually have psychotic symptoms.
Intense social anxiety makes it difficult for people with this disorder to build relationships. They often blame others for their discomfort in social situations, and they tend to lead solitary lives.
How Is Schizotypal Personality Disorder Diagnosed?
Your doctor will begin by giving you a physical examination. This is to check for any physical conditions that could cause your symptoms. He or she will ask you about your symptoms and whether other members of your family have personality disorders.
Your doctor may send you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for a psychiatric assessment. This will include questions about:
- when your symptoms began
- how your symptoms affect your daily life
- your childhood
- how you feel in social situations
- your experiences at school and work
The psychiatrist or psychologist will ask if you have ever thought about harming yourself or others. He or she may also ask you if your family members have commented on your behavior. Your responses will be used to create a diagnosis.
Treatment Options
There are no medications designed to treat this condition. Some individuals benefit from antipsychotic or antidepressant medications.
Several types of therapy can help treat schizotypal personality disorder. Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, can help you learn how to form relationships. It may be combined with social skills training to help you feel more comfortable in social situations.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you address some of the undesirable behaviors associated with this condition. You will learn how to act in social situations and how to respond to social cues. CBT can also help you learn to recognize unusual or harmful thoughts and change them.
Family therapy may be helpful for those who live with others. It can help you strengthen your relationships with family members. This may also help you to feel support from your family.
Long-Term Outlook
Schizotypal personality disorder is a chronic condition that usually requires lifelong treatment. Individuals with this condition are at risk for developing major depressive disorder and other personality disorders.
Your outlook depends on the severity of your symptoms. If you are able to get treatment quickly, your treatment may be more successful.

The Company intends that InterSEPT data will be used to apply for CE marking of the SeptRx(R) IPO device in the second half of 2012, at which time commercial distribution will begin. The SeptRx(R) IPO has previously completed a successful 11-patient first-in-human (F-I-H) clinical trial, which demonstrated 100% closure and 100% safety out to 3 years.
"CoRRect Medical is committed to bringing innovative technologies to market," said Michael Braun, General Manager of CoRRect Medical. "The SeptRx IPO device is an elegant, next-generation medical device. We are extremely proud to be the first distributor to represent SeptRx's breakthrough device in Europe."
"We look forward to completing the InterSEPT trial in a successful and timely fashion. We are on schedule for applying for CE mark in the second half of this year," said Scott Russell, SeptRx's CEO. "Engaging an outstanding medical distribution partner such as CoRRect underscores our resolve to gain marketing approval of the SeptRx IPO device in Europe in the near term."
PFO is a tunnel-like defect connecting the right atrium with the left atrium. A remnant of fetal circulation, it usually seals itself within a few months after birth. Unfortunately, in about 25% of the population the PFO does not fully close and may allow blood (and emboli) to pass directly between the right and left atria. The presence of a PFO has been identified as a contributing factor in cryptogenic stroke, chronic migraine, decompression sickness, and obstructive sleep apnea. A PFO contributes to these conditions by providing a pathway for emboli (blood clots, air bubbles) in the venous system to reach the arterial system by passing directly from the right atrium to the left.
CoRRect Medical GmbH specializes in the commercialization and distribution of high-quality and innovative medical device products for cardiology, vascular surgery and cardiac surgery using minimally invasive procedures.
SeptRx, Inc. is an emerging medical device company that has developed the SeptRx(R) Intrapocket PFO Occluder (IPO), a platform for the percutaneous transcatheter closure of a heart defect known as patent foramen ovale (PFO).
NOTICE: The SeptRx(R) IPO is not approved for sale in any regulatory jurisdiction. Further, it is not yet available for investigational use or commercial sale in the U.S.

I got a rejection letter yesterday from one of the four publishers I queried. They liked the first chapter, but had a problem with all the drama surrounding Paige early in the story. To quote them:
An editor and one member of our management team have reviewed The Howling Heart. We both really liked the opening idea of Paige meeting Riley when they are both so young; it was a sweet beginning to the story. While the story has an interesting plot at its core, we felt the conflict erred on the side of cliché, with far too much dramatically happening to Paige in a mere few chapters. We didn't get a good sense of who she was emotionally before all the trauma began adding up. This takes away from the reader's ability to connect with Paige and be excited for her inevitable reunion with Riley. This hampers the intensity that should be felt when they're thrown together once again.
Ummm… OK. I'm not going to defend my story, but I will say I don't think they read the entire manuscript and that's a shame.
I'm happy to say amid all the rejections, no one has criticized my writing style or the editing yet. I know there are editing issues with A Rose to the Fallen, so I made sure to do a better job the second time around. One agent who rejected me said she loved the title and was impressed by my "classy vocabulary". She couldn't accept my project because she was swamped managing her current clients. I wish she would've mentioned that on her agency's website. I wouldn't have bothered querying her if I knew she was so busy.
I'm a realist and I know it's hard to publish a book through a traditional publisher if you've never been published before. Literary agencies don't consider self-publishing actual publishing. I also know that adult paranormal romances with werewolves are a dime a dozen. That's why I'm not optimistic about The Howling Heart getting published. The rejection letters aren't making me feel this way because I expected them. I predict by mid-year The Howling Heart will be staying on my hard drive. I'm never self-publishing again and I'm not sharing stories for free anymore. If I don't sell The Howling Heart, then that will be the end of my publishing attempt.
