Jackie Ray Slater (born May 27, 1954, in Jackson, Mississippi) is a retired NFL offensive tackle who played his entire 20-year career with the Rams organization, playing 19 seasons for the Rams in Los Angeles (1976–1994) and one season for the Rams in St. Louis in 1995.
Slater attended Jackson State University. Slater was a letterman in football and was selected to the Southwestern Athletic Conference All-Star Game three times, and as a senior, he was a First-team All–Black America selection, and was named an All-American selection by the Pittsburgh Courier. After his senior season, he was invited to participate in the College All-Star Game.
NFL career[edit]
Slater played in 259 games from 1976 to 1995, a then-record for offensive lineman (broken by Bruce Matthews in the 1999 season). He was the first player to play 20 seasons for one team, and former Washington Redskins cornerback Darrell Green is the only other one to accomplish the feat. Much like Ed "Too Tall" Jones was with the Dallas Cowboys, Slater was unique in "bridging gaps" with different eras in the franchise. Slater was teammates with Merlin Olsen and Jack Youngblood earlier in his career and Jerome Bettis and Isaac Bruce at the end of his career.
Although used primarily as a backup and special teams player during his first three seasons, Slater became a starter in 1979 and that season the Rams went to Super Bowl XIV. In 1980 he was a part of an offensive line that surrendered just 29 sacks and helped the Rams' offense finish second in the NFL in total yards gained with 6,006. In 1983, he and the Rams offensive line demonstrated their versatility when they allowed a league-low 23 sacks while also paving the way for Dickerson's rookie rushing record of 1,808 yards. He appeared in the 1985 team promotional video "Ram It" as "Big Bad Jackie". He started the lead verse, where he admitted that the team could not sing or dance well, but vowed they would do their best for the city.
In 2001, Slater was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was voted the National Football League Players Association NFC Offensive Lineman of the year four times—1983, 1986, 1987, and 1989. Slater was the Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award winner after the 1995 season.
Coaching career[edit]
On February 16, 2006, Oakland Raiders head coach Art Shell hired him to become a co-offensive lineman coach along with Irv Eatman. Slater was released by the Raiders for the 2007 season.
He is currently the offensive line coach at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California. Azusa Pacific is in its final year as an NAIA Independent and will transition to NCAA Division II in 2012.
His son Matthew, who played college football at UCLA, was drafted by the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL) in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft, is a 6 year veteran, 3x Pro Bowler, American football wide receiver, safety, gunner, and Special Teams captain for the New England Patriots. The Slaters have 10 Pro Bowl nods between them, and his son's nominations to the Pro Bowl makes the Slater family the second most nominated family in the NFL (only Archie, Eli, and Peyton Manning have more Pro-Bowl nominations as a family).[1]

Just when you thought peplum dresses couldn't get even more stylish, Kim Kardashian sported a cool graphic printed one yesterday (September 20) when she was spotted out in Melbourne, Australia.
Her black and bright orange floral and abstract printed dress with a structured peplum by Josh Goot is a fresh take on the trendy peplum dress design.
Kim's favorite black ankle strap sandals by Celine and straight locks pulled her great look together.

Great fit , great comfort
June 22, 2011
This is the third one of these skorts I have bought in different colors. They are sporty enough for bike rides and hiking, dressy enough to go into a restaurant and comfortable enough to wear all summer. Fit runs true to size. I would buy more if they were offered in additional colors.
Best Skort Ever
July 22, 2012
This is my second time purchasing this product. I have them in several different colors and wear them all the time! They are cool, fast drying and comfortable. I travel with them as they are wash and wear, and are not so short that they make you feel like you have on a tennis skirt. I walk in them, play golf, and wear as a regular daytime skirt.
Pros: flattering cut, easy care, Cons: would like side pocketLove this skirt!
July 28, 2010
I had to do a lot of hunting to find a company that carried this skort in my size. The manufacturer has take them off the market, much to many folks' dismay. Altrec had the best price AND shipped to me for free. Love it! The skort itself is fantastic! I happily report that it fits true to size; the shorts underneath were just the right fit for me. This skort is also super easy to clean-- when I've spilled on it (and believe me, I have) it dries in literally seconds. I purchased this skort primarily for travel, and I'm excited to see how it will perform as one of the few articles I'm taking with me on a three week excursion! Seriously, stop pretending you'll find something "cheaper" and of similar quality. If you can find it in your size, get this skort!
Super Versatile
July 12, 2011
These fit and look great, are true to size and are very comfortable and slimming! I am petite and the length is fine as well. I bought a khaki pair in a store and liked them so much I ordered the black and the everglade. I plan on taking them on a trip to Costa Rica as I know they will be very packable and very easy to dress up or down! The only Con I can think of is the stitching is coming apart slightly on one pair-- easy fix for a great wardrobe asset!
Pros: Great design, Cons: Wears quicklyLive-in this skirt!
November 21, 2010
I bought 3 of these skirts at the beginning of summer. I wore them every day. They are so comfortable! I usually wore them with flip-slops, but could easily dress them up with a cute t-shirt, sandals and jewelry. My favorite color was the black. They all held up well and can withstand another summer of daily use. They are also light and squish easily for tight packing when you only want to travel with the least weight and bulk.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Great valueCan't believe it is a skort
July 11, 2011
I usually do not like to wear skorts, I find the shorts too restricting. But this skort by Royal Robbins is so comfortable, you won't relaize it isn't a skirt. I'm 5'2" 130lbs, athletic build and although the size 4 fit, I found the size 6 to be a little more comfortable. Item dries fast and wrinkles fall out quickly. It will be a go to item in my travel wardrobe. I bought one in every color.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of useLooks and feels great
April 25, 2010
Just what I was looking for..nice looking on the outside, comfy and good for most any activity.
Love it!
January 26, 2010
It's exactly what I wanted, fits perfectly, washes like a dream, and is extremely comfortable. Being a person of the short-legged variety, I wear a skort (more comfortable than a pencil skirt) and tights every day (to make myself look taller--hah!) with various tops and jackets and manage to look businesslike and professional at all times.
Nice skort
July 21, 2012
This is a very comfortable skort that hangs nicely on hips. The material has a nice strech to it that gives comfort with movement. The length is very good.
Pros: comfortGreat Work Skort
August 19, 2011
I have (3) of these skorts (tan, green and black). And they are wonderful! Look professional and I can climb ladders in them, too. They don't have to be ironed, either.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of usethe most flattering skort ever!
July 22, 2010
I am so impressed with this skort. Looks just like a skirt, very flattering cut and length (just above the knee on me, I'm 5'4"), and as comfortable to wear as a pair of favorite jeans! Originally bought for travel, I now wear it at work, for a girls nite out, or anytime I want to upgrade my "mommy look" - the shorts underneath mean no worries when I'm out playing with my kids. True to size, but if in doubt I would order down - the fabric has so much stretch, I found a smaller size provided some bonus tummy control. My problem areas are my "mommy" tummy, hips, and upper thighs, and this skort flatters while at the same time offering AMAZING comfort. Wish it came in more colors; I would love to have several!
Discovery Skort
July 16, 2011
First time purchasing from Altrec. The order was received faster than predicted. The quality of the skort was exceptional and I really liked the design and fabric. The 2 colors I ordered were true to website. I am 5'6" and 120 pounds. I ordered a size 2 (which I normally wear in golf skorts) but was too small. I will return these and reorder in a size 4. Can't wait for the new size to arrive.
Pros: Great design, Great value, great fabric, Cons: runs smallgood fit, comfortable
April 20, 2010
Good stretch fabric and fit make for a comfortable skort for summer in town or on a walk. Nice length above knee. Waist is sleek. Black color good for all around wear dressy or casual.
February 28, 2010
Best short I ever bought comfy!!!!! perfect length for a 68 yr old, wear it to work it can be dressy or casual, although I do wish it had side pockets. Wash and drys great In intend to get another in brown.
BEST SKORT ever
February 01, 2012
I am in my 50s and very active. I LOVE this skort! I now have it in black and stone and wear it whenever the weather allows me to wear sandals. I do not have a flat tummy and there is NO PINCH at all. The under shorts do not ride up at all on me! I am 5'3" and about 136 pounds. I ordered size 8 and they fit great. It washes and dries well for travel!
Pros: great for travelI am so impressed
April 28, 2010
I love this. What a great experience. So easy to shop and delivery is fast and free when you spend $45. or more. Keep up the good work and I'll keep buying.
All purpose skirt
March 21, 2011
This skirt fits just the way I wanted it too. Fitted but not too tight. I can hike, shop, hang out, etc. while wearing it. It is fairly true to size. I am 5"7, 125 lbs. I can wear a size 2 or 4 in a skirt. I got a size 4 and it fits perfect. I cannot wait till the rains stop up here in Northern Calif.. so I can start wearing it!
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of usePerfect fit, weight, comfort and versatility.
August 06, 2010
I can't say enough good things about the Discovery skort. Roll it up and pack it in even the smallest bag for wrinkle-free travel. Or wear it multiple days while exploring new places, and it will look as good on day four as day one. Wash and hang to dry wherever you are and it's ready to go again. Perfect for travel around the world, around the country or around town. One in every color wouldn't be too many!
January 08, 2011
I have this skort in every color. Seven to be exact. I am 54 years old, live in Hawaii, and virtually LIVE in this skort. It is not too short and not too long. The shorts underneath the skirt are light weight, breathable. Wash them and they air dry in 30 minutes. The zipper in the back makes the skort feel seamless. Some skorts have so many buttons, plus a zipper, and are a hassle to put on and take off. Not so with this skort. One zipper and a small hook. Easy. A zippered pocket is on the top right side. Perfect for a key and a credit card. The fabric is virtually stain proof and even resistant to bleach. I am 5'4", 120 lbs., and the size 6 fits perfectly. Highly recommend!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, bleach resistant!Bought another one
July 12, 2011
I first purchased this in black and loved it so much I bought another in everglade (olive). Both fit perfectly, are stretchy enough to accommodate my greater-than-preferable waist line these days and are very comfortable (I'm 5'9", 148# - I ordered a 10). The length is above the knee at a long-short level, but not so short that I feel like I'm trying to look younger than am. I can't comment on durability since I've had them such a short time, but the quality is so fantastic that I expect them to last a very long time. The only down side to skorts is that I'm wearing double the fabric, but this is a concern only for hot temperatures. Comfort-wise, this skort is so well made that the dual short/skirt fabric is not an issue. I bought the most recent one on sale which seems a more reasonable value.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, flatteringLove the Discovery Skort
July 23, 2011
Love this skort! Great fit, true to size. Washes and dries like a dream. At my age (pushing 60) I had sworn off ever wearing shorts again. This skort is the perfect substitute--it is flattering and goes everywhere. After purchasing my first one I had to buy 2 more. It looks good on me in spite of the fact that I have a tummy and thunder thighs. Wish it came in more colors.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: not enough colorsLove this skort
April 14, 2013
I love all Royal Robbins clothing..wasn't sure how the Discovery skort would fit since I am petite (5'3") and skirts are usually too long on me. This skort fits me perfectly, hits about two inches above the knee. Wore it the first day I got it and received many compliments. Love the material it has enough stretch but doesn't get baggy. I just ordered a second one in a different color.
From office to field
May 22, 2011
This is the best skirt EVER. I can go from the office to the field by changing my shoes from sandals to sneakers. This skirt Rocks. I even wear it riding my hybrid bike to work. I wish they had this skirt in more colors... I wear a size 6 - 5'5 and 135 lbs.
Loved the skort!
December 09, 2010
I selected this skort because I love the Royal Robbins brand and it didn't disappoint me! I am in my mid-50's and I didn't want a skort that was too short. It is a nice length and very comfortable and cute! I wore it for a 5k cancer walk and felt stylish! Thank you for offering this choice!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGreat Skort - one of the best
March 25, 2010
I love these, have one in every color for the summer. Shows just the right amount of leg without having to be too decorous when you sit down. They pack light, use little space and do not crease so perfect for travel. Wear them with gladiator flats and you are good to go.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Fragrant mulberry and maraschino cherry fruits complement earthy spices and licorice notes against a backdrop of cedar oak. The powerfully structured palate offers layers of ripe exotic fruits and summer flowers blending effortlessly with a fine acid backbone and silky, mineral-edged tannins. The floral finish of jasmine and lavender notes is intense and persistent.
"A very serious example of this Southern Rhône blend; dark and minerally, with briary notes and a hint of spice; chewy, long, and with really vibrant fruit on the finish, this would reward a charry steak well. Screwcap." 94 Points Australian Wine Companion
"The 2006 The Ironstone Pressings Grenache (70%)-Shiraz (25%)-Mourvedre (5%) offers a complex nose of cedar, leather, espresso, spice box, violets, black cherry, and blueberry compote. On the palate it offers up gobs of spicy, savory fruit, lovely integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a 45-second finish. Cellar it for 4-5 years and drink it from 2013 to 2026. " 93 Points The Wine Advocate
"For a Grenache-dominated (70%) blend, this shows outstanding structure. the firm tannins are slightly drying right now, but should smooth out nicely by 2012 and the wine should continue to drink well through at least 2020. Ripe cherry and cassis notes are framed by subtle cedary oak, imparting a sophisticated elegance to the long finish." 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Chester Osborn's top selection of grenache blended with shiraz and mourvedre, this wine is named for the ironstone soil in which his family's ancient vines grow. It has grenache's lovely strawberry flavors, darkened by shiraz tannins but still lifted and refined. There's a meaty, smoked pork butt flavor that combines the wine's oak with its earthy tannins. A substantial blend to age, and to decant as it matures for roast boar." 92 Points Wine & Spirits
"Opaque ruby. Brooding, pungent red and dark berry aromas are complicated by cured tobacco, sandalwood and Indian spices. Broad and rich, with deep blackcurrant and cherry compote flavors and a firm structure that makes itself apparent with aeration. The grenache is in the background today, and the wine finishes with serious grip and sneaky persistence. I'd give this some cellar time." 91 Points International Wine Cellar

This fight will be made. It is smart business-wise for the Mayweather camp for 2 reasons.
1. Bradley has a win over Pacquiao(no matter what you think you saw). If Maywether beats Bradley(which is almost a guarantee), then he doesnt have to fight Pacquiao because he beat the guy who beat him. OR, he can go into negotiations for a Pacquiao fight with a larger chunk of the purse. What was 55 - 45 will easilit become 65 - 35 or worse. 2. Bradley is at least on paper a legit fight, so all the Sergio Martinez vs Mayweather talk goes away. Mayweather will kill 2 birds with one stone. He can avoid the threat that Martinez poses and save face because his fans will argue that Bradley was a better opponent anyway. |

Mayweather goes at guys with zero power... 9 rounds and Bradley is out of there... Bradley has well rounded skills but no power. A good business fight and Floyd again dishes out more punishment than he takes... he would suffer minimal damage in hacking up Bradley and make big bucks

First EMS Medal Day ceremony held in five years honors 40 members for meritorious acts in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003
Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta today honored 40 New York City Fire Department Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) at a medal ceremony held in the Metrotech Commons outside of Fire Department headquarters in Brooklyn.
Today's medal recipients were cited for their life-saving work at fires, car accidents, structural collapses and other emergencies. The stories recounted incidents of highly effective patient care in some of the most unusual or difficult circumstances in which members often went above and beyond the normal actions of EMS.
"As we celebrate these acts of heroism, we must not forget that these singular achievements were in fact a team effort," said Commissioner Scoppetta. "Behind every one of these saves was a partner…a dispatcher…a call-receiving operator…a supervisor…the entire chain of command…doing their job. You all deserve much credit and recognition."
The medal ceremony, the first for New York City's Paramedics and EMT's since 1999, recognized meritorious actions that occurred during calendar years 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003. The following are some highlights from today's ceremony: For 1999, the top honor, the Christopher J. Prescott Medal was awarded to EMT David Karic and EMT Daniel E. Stewart. After hearing cries for help from a burning building on Pilling Street in Brooklyn, the two rookie members, each with only nine months on the job, entered the smoke filled premises without the protection of a mask, bunker gear or hose line. Pushing through the thick smoke and heat the team rescued two victims before the arrival of firefighters. The medal was awarded posthumously to EMT Stewart. His father accepted on his behalf.
The Christopher J. Prescott Medal for 2000 was awarded to EMT Gamaliel Bonilla. While driving to work on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway EMT Bonilla witnessed a single car accident in which the vehicle had rolled over several times and then burst into flames. EMT Bonilla, without regard for his own safety, immediately forced the driver's side door open. He then crawled into the burning vehicle and removed the unconscious 17-year old driver, stabilizing his injuries until the ambulance arrived.
The Christopher J. Prescott Medal for 2002 was awarded to EMT John Manning. After seeing smoke and then witnessing the occupants of a three story home calling for help from the top floor window, John Manning raced inside and began banging on doors and yelling for the occupants to get out as he made his way into the smoke-filled building. Climbing up to the third floor apartment on his hands and knees, Manning located four trapped teenagers. Instructing them to crawl on their hands and knees, he led all four out of the building to safety.
The Christopher J. Prescott Medal for 2003 was awarded to EMT Ronald G. Grubert and EMT David T. Weissman. The pair responded to a report of a deck collapse with 20 injuries. Upon arrival, Grubert and Weissman assessed the incident, requested additional resources and began to treat the victims while fire rescue companies stabilized the collapsed deck. The team crawled under the debris and immobilized and extricated the two most seriously injured including a woman who was pinned beneath the debris with a partially amputated foot.
In addition to top medals The Christopher J. Prescott Medal and The Tracy Allen-Lee Medal, which are both endowed by the EMTs and Paramedics Union Local 2507, five other medals were presented. The Chief James Scullion Medal, which is endowed by the Superior Officers Association, The Lieutenant Kirby McElhern Medal, which has been endowed by the Lieutenants and Captions union Local 3621 and The Jack Pintchik Medal, which has been endowed by the Pintchik family since 1984. In addition two commendations were issued: the Medical Affairs Commendation and the Emergency Medical Dispatch Commendation.

Psalms 42 and 43 (II); Longing for God (II)
Tears of Nostalgia
Mention of water and thirsting for a quenching draught in verses 1-2 leads the psalmist to think about another kind of water--his tears. Though he longs for the limpid and refreshing river, he only can taste the salty streams of tears that course down his cheeks. He weeps because people around him are mocking him, asking him where his God is. "If your God is so great," they say, "why is your life so miserable?" The psalmist knows that they have a point; it is the same question he has: "If God is so good, and if I am an earnest believer in God, why is my life so miserable?" To find an answer the psalmist searches his past. He ransacks the his memory much like we might rummage through an old trunk, our old high-school annuals, or papers or correspondence we have saved. He is not searching his past to write a history of his life; he is trying desperately to discover how his life went awry, how it was that he who once led a confident, faithful life in the community of believers now lives so painfully and so alone. How did the web become tangled? How did the skein of his life become so twisted? Can it ever be straightened out?
The psalmist, therefore, urges us to explore our past and to listen to our lives. Many of us were brought up in religious contexts that deemphasized personal feelings and that placed little emphsis on how past personal experience shapes our understanding of the gospel. The psalmist will have none of this mode of reasoning. He listens to his past, even if there are only faint echoes, to see what it tells him about himself as he longs for God. He encourages us to listen to our past and see it as a resource in coming to an understanding of God and the gospel.
"These things I remember as I pour out my soul; how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng" (v. 4, NASV).
He, who is now alone, remembers the times of community. He, who is now sad, remembers transforming joy. He, who is now despondent and on the defensive, remembers when he happily led a movement. Sometimes the vast caverns of our memory only enable us to recall the pain of life, but sometimes we recall, with tears of remembered joy, the times of fullness and happiness, when life fit and we had a vigorous role to play. But the pain of the present soon overtakes the joy of the past. The contrast is so strong; the vividness of the memory fades as he lingers on it. He returns to the pain of the moment. All he knows is that life at one time semed to make sense. Now it does not. He chides his soul to hope again in God. But the problem is unresolved and the pslamist is uncertain.
Back to the Present
The memory was a short-lived joy, like a candle tha tflickered briefly and bravely in the windy night air before being extinguished by a blustery gust. So the psalmist looks at his present situation. He is far away from Jerusalem--that place of the temple and the visible presence of God. He is at the heights of Hermon, a towering peak in southern Lebanon. The Jordan River finds its source in the neighborhood of Hermon and, as it rushes down from the mountain heights, it thunders and crashes. It is this experience of hearing the tumbling waters cascade down the mountain that lies behind verses 6-10. He hears the thundering waters below: "Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls." He likens the crash of the waters to the tumultuous discord of his life: "all your waves and breakers hav eswept over me" (v. 7). That is, the crushing blows of the waters on the rocks below are like the crushing blows of the waves of God against him.
Instead of seeing the cascading waters as a testimony of God's awesome power or nature's controlled fury, he sees them as a physical picture of how he is being pummeled by life or, in the last analysis, pummeled by God. The waters hurtle against the rock. They explode in a fuy of foam and froth, of splattering of spray and spume. "Oh God," he cries, "I am being beaten, crushed, pummeled, drilled, blasted by these impersonal forces. They are churning out of control around me. I'm at their mercy. Why don't you enter and save? Why do the enemies keep oppressing me? Why must my tears be my food day and night? Why do I feel as if each day I am beaten up by forces that are far stronger than I?
The past did not save the psalmist. The present isn't helping much either. He then tries to reaffirm his faith in verse 8:
"By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life."
Though his reaffirmation might be sincere, the truth of his confession doesn't immediately change things, for he returns to the depths in v. 9. It appears that God has forsaken him, left him tethered to a pole amid the crashing waters so that the waters can vent their uncontrollable fury on him. He has confidence that he will again praise God, but reflection on the past and the present have not made that any easier. Psalm 42 closes with an unfulfilled longing. There is plenty of water, but it is the wrong kind of water: it is either the salty stream of tears or the crashing flow of the river. In neither case can he slake his thirst. He is dying of thirst in the middle of the waters.
Bright Hope For Tomorrow
Now we see why we must consider Psalm 43 with 42. For Psalm 43 continues the langauge and the longing of Psalm 42, but directs it to the future. The psalmist has come up empty as he considers the past and the present: the one provided the temporary relief of remembered joy, but that joy disappeared like a wisp of smoke; the other provided only an occasion for reflection on the degree of current distress. The psalmist doesn't, however, give up. He is like a person groping down a long, dark hallway, tyring each door to see if, on the other side, there is safety and comfort. The doors makred "past" and "present" did not yield this comfort. Maybe he can look to the future. He says,
"Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell" (v. 3).
This is the first time in the two psalms that the psalmist has actually asked God for something! He has been so wrapped up in his own concerns, so unable to feel anything beyond the contours of his own body, that he had not even asked God for help. He was full of questions but had not offered one supplication. Now he asks. His asking quickly leads him to action. God must send forth truth and light to lead him to the temple. Then, in verse 4, the psalmist says:
"Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God."
He knows tha this thirsting for God will only be quenched when he is where he belongs--the house of God. He knows that he must, for the moment, give up brooding on the past, relinquish the beaten and battered feelings from the present, and rush with speed and determination to God. He doesn't think for a moment that the past is fully over and done or that the dragons of the present will never again lift their ugly heads; he knows that what he needs is to embrace and be embraced in the warm confines of the house of God. So, he runs to God, to the house of God. Like Pilgrim in Pilgrim's Progress who, upon hearing the good news of the gospel from Evangelist, plugs his ears against all contrary words and runs headlong toward the wicket gate, shouting "Life, life, eternal life!" so our psalmist knows that he must resist the voices that continue to dog him about the past and present. He rushes to the altar of God, his great delight. All is not "dealt with" fully. But he will be in the place where hope returns, where sense is made of the past, and where an abundant stream of crystal-clear, limpid water flows, from which he can drink deeply until he wants no more.

CLEVELAND -- The future of the Cleveland Cavaliers looked good in the present on Tuesday night.
Rookies Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson, selected No. 1 and No. 4 respectively in last year's draft, led Cleveland to a 115-101 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday night.
Irving tied a season high with 20 points and had six assists with no turnovers, and Thompson had season highs with 16 points and nine rebounds.
"Kyrie makes everyone around him better," Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said. "He gets more and more comfortable with each game. Tristan's in that same boat. He's starting to really understand his role and what he can do in this league."
Veteran Antawn Jamison had 19 points as Cleveland moved over .500 for he first time since Nov. 9, 2010, when it was 4-3.
The Cavaliers are using Irving and Thompson as centerpieces in their rebuilding effort from last season's team that finished 19-67. Irving has started at point guard in all five games while Thompson, a power forward, is one of the first players off the bench.
D.J. Augustin scored a season-high 26 points for the Bobcats, who have lost four straight since opening the season with a 96-95 home win over Milwaukee on Dec. 26. Charlotte coach Paul Silas was whistled for a technical foul for arguing with an official in the fourth quarter with the Bobcats trailing 108-91.
Silas was also displeased with his team's effort, particularly on the defensive end.
"It's just not gonna work if we don't play hard all the time," he said. "We're not talented enough to not play hard all the time. You can't just give it away (points on penetration) and let it happen."
Cleveland continued its strong 3-point shooting, making 10 of 21 from behind the arc. The Cavaliers made 16 of 26 attempts from 3-point range Sunday, falling one short of the team record in a 98-82 home win over New Jersey. Back-to-back 3s by Daniel Gibson gave the Cavaliers a 103-86 lead midway through the fourth quarter.
Cleveland's rookies also brought the crowd to its feet with blocked shots in the second half. Irving chased down Augustin's breakaway layup attempt in the third quarter, swatting the ball off the backboard with his left hand.
"It was just a normal basketball play," Irving said. "I just wanted to contest it the best I can."
Thompson also received a thunderous ovation when he blocked Byron Mullens' dunk attempt in the fourth quarter.
"We all love playing basketball, so why not play this way?" Thompson said.
Gerald Henderson had 16 points for the Bobcats after being held scoreless in the first half. Mullens, who played one season at Ohio State, scored a career-high 14 points.
Augustin, Corey Maggette and D.J. White scored all of Charlotte's 34 points in the first quarter. Augustin ended the period by stealing the ball from Ramon Sessions and scoring on a layup to give him 14 points. The Bobcats hit 12 of 19 shots in the quarter and led 34-27.
The Cavaliers finished the second quarter with an 8-2 run, sparked by two 3-pointers from Anthony Parker, to lead 57-51 at halftime.
Cleveland's spurt continued early in the third period. Five points by Anderson Varejao and 3-pointers by Irving, Jamison and Omri Casspi helped the Cavaliers build an 80-65 lead.
Game notes
Bobcats C Boris Diaw was limited to four minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. ... F Tyrus Thomas (sprained ankle) has yet to play this season. ... Cleveland, which opens a seven-game road trip Wednesday in Toronto, doesn't play at home again until hosting Golden State on Jan. 17. ... C Semih Erden (right thumb fracture) was inactive one day after participating in his first full practice. Scott said Erden will likely play sometime during the trip.

EAST HARTFORD — UConn football fan Herb Bailey went to his first game as a 7-year-old. The Huskies lost to Holy Cross, 10-9.
"I'm 49 now. So 42 years ago, if you told me that THIS would be happening," Bailey of East Hartford said while shaking his head. "It's a big thing, Michigan coming in."
The football program with the most wins in college football history drew the biggest crowd in Rentschler Field history, and the tailgating scene was more festive than usual. It wasn't just UConn fans excited for a chance to beat the No. 15 Wolverines at Rentschler. Michigan's fans traveled well.
"I immediately wanted to buy tickets to the game and ended up buying [UConn] season tickets, just for Michigan," said Chris DeBlock, who drove up from New Jersey. "I think it's amazing they're finally playing on the East Coast. I've been waiting for years."
Eric and Joyce Bryant, parents of Michigan left guard Chris Bryant, flew into Bradley International Airport on Friday night and were impressed with what Connecticut had to offer.
"I expected the atmosphere to be intriguing," Bryant said. "From riding around it looks like everyone is into football. I wasn't sure … my expectations have grown more seeing the tailgating. Very impressed with the support, I see a mixture of UConn and Michigan, that's good, too."
Dave Pooley and Rich Schneider of Lambertville and Temperance, Mich., respectively, have been Wolverines season ticket holders since the 1970s. Schneider said that he knows UConn for women's and men's basketball, but that the pair and their families were happy to make the trip.
"We hadn't been here," Pooley said. "It gave us a good chance to go down to Newport, had a fantastic time there … going to Plymouth, [Mass.], tomorrow."
Pooley said that the New England getaway has been enjoyable, but that the real reason for the trip was the game.
"I was a little bit surprised that the team [UConn] started off so poorly this year," Pooley said. "That didn't deter us from coming, we know this would be a big game for both teams."
Drew Pooley, 14, said that he liked the experience of tailgating at Rentschler Field.
"It's definitely different than what we're used to," Drew said.
Bryant likened Rentschler Field's tailgating scene to an NFL stadium as opposed to a college atmosphere.
"For me, I prefer campus, being close to the stadium, it seems like the students are more into the game," Bryant said.
Geri Jennings made a short trip down from Easthampton, Mass., for the game. She graduated from UConn's undergraduate program and went to Michigan for her doctorate. She was rooting for the Wolverines on Saturday night.
"When I went to UConn, there wasn't a big football tradition at all; now, having gone to Michigan where there's a huge football tradition, it definitely stuck with me more," Jennings said.
Jennings said that she and her family went to UConn's loss at Michigan Stadium in 2010 and immediately wanted to go to the Huskies' home game.
Rick Gaylord of Plymouth said he was happy that UConn attracted an opponent like Michigan to its home stadium.
"I think any big team, it makes UConn more noticeable," Gaylord said. "It helps the school, it helps the state. I know Hartford actually did very well with Michigan coming in. ... I think any big school would help you get noticed and grow bigger. "
For the Husky faithful, the prospect of Michigan's playing in Connecticut was exciting, but the fans were concerned with the team's start.
"It is a little discouraging because they should have won that first game," Gaylord said.
For Bailey, it felt like a dream that Michigan came to town, but he said that the Huskies needed to show up in these types of games.
"We don't want to be content, though. We want a good game," Bailey said.

hybris (ˈhaɪbrɪs) | |
—n | |
a variant of hubris | |
hy'bristic | |
—adj |
in Classical Athenian usage, the intentional use of violence to humiliate or degrade. The most famous example was the case of Meidias, who punched the orator Demosthenes in the face when the latter was dressed in ceremonial robes and performing an official function. Hubris could also characterize rape. Hubris was a crime at least from the time of Solon (6th century BC), and any citizen could bring charges against another party, as was the case also for treason or impiety. (In contrast, only a member of the victim's family could bring charges for murder.)

We're working to break the cycle of unemployment and poverty in rural Armenian communities that have been devastated in the global economic crisis by supporting entrepreneurs and new business creation.
In the rural areas targeted by this project, over one-third of Armenians live below the poverty line and 1 in 4 is without a job. Outdated technology and infrastructure, and a workforce that lacks necessary education and skills, prevent economic growth. People have no access to job training or business financing. Without these tools, the rural poor—particularly women—remain unable to re-build their economy and break this cycle of poverty.
This project creates jobs and income, bringing hope and lasting change to rural Armenia. We help people gain the skills and credit needed to realize their tremendous potential in industries where they offer a competitive advantage. Entrepreneurs receive management training, guidance as they develop business plans, and financing to launch their businesses. A project website provides resources for anyone with computer access. We provide training for employees and ongoing mentoring to owners.
We will help launch over 100 new businesses in rural Armenia and provide job training for over 100 people. This will create over 150 new jobs – 30% of them for women. In the process, the rural economy grows and communities are revitalized. Our project has a holistic approach: we are training the workforce in necessary skills, investing financial capital, and building new infrastructure. These actions are creating a sustainable rural economy and improving lives for generations of Armenians.
Total Funding Received to Date: $2,718 Remaining Goal to be Funded: $12,282 Total Funding Goal: $15,000

Editors' note: This is part 1 in a series examining how Microsoft's security strategy has evolved over the past decade.
REDMOND, Wash.--With a measure of pain, Matt Thomlinson recalls the summer of 2003.
"I remember buses pulling up to the Microsoft campus to shuttle engineers away from their day jobs to go work the phones down at (product support)," said Thomlinson, who heads Microsoft's security engineering efforts. "That was just heartbreaking."
The Blaster worm had just hit, swamping Microsoft's support lines with calls from angry customers.
Andrew Cushman, director of the Microsoft Security Response Center, remembers standing in Muck boots and installing a catch basin in his front yard when he got a call from an account manager. It was just days after September 11, 2001, and one of Microsoft's largest customers had just been hit with what turned out to be the Nimda worm.
George Stathakopoulos, Cushman's boss, still hasn't seen the end of the movie Master and Commander. In spring 2004, he was sitting on his couch watching the film when he got the call that Sasser had hit.
Indeed, much of Microsoft's current security practices can be traced to painful lessons learned during the past decade by people whose job it is to secure Microsoft's products.
Because of the experience of Mike Nash, a vice president at Microsoft, the company finally instituted calling trees as a way to quickly reach people in an emergency. When the Slammer worm hit in January 2003, Nash had to work feverishly to track down the vice president of SQL Server, Gordon Mangione, eventually locating him at his sister's wedding in Canada. (Slammer used Microsoft's SQL Server database to propagate a denial-of-service attack.) Nash first heard reports of Slammer on the local news radio station at 6 a.m. At first, he thought he was dreaming. But as the report played a second time, he knew it was real and headed into work. "I was the second one there," Nash recalls.
Slammer also taught the company that it was not enough to have a patch; the patch had to be easy enough to deploy so that most customers would do so, lessening the chances that outbreaks would propagate so quickly. And it was Blaster that taught the company that it wasn't enough to patch a single flaw; it needed a systematic process for catching whole classes of vulnerabilities, a realization that paved the way for Microsoft's current approach, known as the Security Development Lifecycle, or SDL.
"We've put a lot of our best people in these areas," Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said in an interview with CNET News.com. "Still tons to be done, but you know, we've definitely made five years of progress in the last five years."
Much of the reason for that traumatic on-the-job training can be traced to Microsoft's decade-long evolution in how it and its employees deal with security. Until 1997, security was seen mainly as a set of features that the company bolted onto its software long after product design and development. The idea of securing code as it was being developed had not been considered.
IE flaws send Microsoft scrambling
That all began to change in March 1997, when the first significant flaws were discovered in Internet Explorer. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute found a vulnerability in browser shortcuts known as .LNK files. Even as Microsoft was scrambling to deal with the problem, word of the flaw hit cable television news. A few hours later, researchers at the University of Maryland found a second problem and reported it to Microsoft.
Simultaneously, the IE team, which Stathakopoulos was part of, was in the process of moving into a new building. The timing couldn't have been worse: most of their equipment was in boxes. Someone had to run to a store to buy a power supply for one of the team's laptops--the power cords had been packed away--before the battery went dead. Jason Garms, now a senior director for technical strategy, wrote the company's first security bulletin in a Windows' Notepad file and then copied it to a floppy so it could be distributed to customers.
At the time, the company didn't even have a system in place where outsiders could report security bugs directly to Microsoft engineers. The IE flaw came to light because someone had called Microsoft's support line and the matter had gradually escalated.
"We said 'This has to stop,'" Stathakopoulos recalls thinking of the disjointed system at the time. "It's not working for us."
In the aftermath of that bug, Microsoft created the Microsoft Security Response Team as well as a separate Internet Explorer security group. The company also created an e-mail address where outsiders could report potential issues.
The Microsoft Security Response Team was made up of volunteers--employees who had other day jobs, but were interested in helping out when there was a security problem.

The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A judge has thrown out three murder charges against a Pennsylvania abortion doctor that alleged the deaths of babies born alive.
Karnamaya Mongar is shown with her husband, whose first name was not given. Mongar, 41, died after seeking an abortion and is the subject of one murder count in the ongoing Philadelphia trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Here is a guide to the trial:
Dr. Kermit Gosnell is on trial, charged with murder, in the deaths of a female patient and seven babies prosecutors say were born alive at the abortion clinic he ran. Tuesday's ruling reduces the number of cases involving the deaths of babies to four. A look at the facts in the case:
In February 2010, agents from Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI who were conducting two raids on Gosnell's clinic in search of drug violations instead stumbled upon "deplorable and unsanitary" conditions, including blood on the floor and parts of aborted fetuses in jars.
State regulators shut down the Women's Medical Society clinic in west Philadelphia and suspended Gosnell's license.
A nearly 300-page grand jury report released in January 2011 described Gosnell's clinic as a filthy, foul-smelling "house of horrors" that was overlooked by regulators.
Prosecutors said Gosnell made millions of dollars over three decades performing thousands of dangerous abortions, many of them illegal late-term procedures. The clinic had no trained nurses or medical staff other than Gosnell, a family physician not certified in obstetrics or gynecology, yet authorities say many administered anesthesia, painkillers and labor-inducing drugs.
The grand jury report stated furniture and blankets in Gosnell's clinic were stained with blood, instruments were not properly sterilized and disposable medical supplies were used repeatedly. Bags, jars and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building, which reeked of cat urine because of the animals allowed to roam freely.
State regulators ignored complaints about Gosnell and the 46 lawsuits filed against him and made just five annual inspections since the clinic opened in 1979, investigators said. Several state employees were fired and two agencies overhauled their regulations after the allegations.
Gosnell was charged with eight counts of murder. After Tuesday's ruling he stands accused of first-degree murder in the deaths of four newborns and third-degree murder in the 2009 death of a 41-year-old Bhutanese refugee prosecutors say received lethal doses of sedatives and painkillers at the clinic while awaiting an abortion. He also is charged with violating Pennsylvania abortion law by performing abortions after 24 weeks, operating a corrupt organization and other crimes.
He pleaded not guilty and has remained held without bail since his arrest. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the infant deaths.
Prosecutors estimated Gosnell ended hundreds of pregnancies by inducing labor and cutting the babies' spinal cords and caused scores of women to suffer infections and permanent internal injuries, but they said they couldn't prosecute more cases because he destroyed files.
Eight clinic workers including Gosnell's wife, a beautician accused of helping him perform illegal third-term abortions, have pleaded guilty to a variety of crimes. Three of Gosnell's staffers, including an unlicensed medical school graduate and a woman with a sixth-grade education, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder for their roles in the woman's overdose death or for cutting babies in the back of the neck to ensure their demise.
In an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News after the clinic was raided, Gosnell described himself as someone who wanted to serve the poor and minorities in the neighborhood where he grew up and raised his six children, who include a doctor and a college professor.
Gosnell's defense lawyer, Jack McMahon, disputes that any babies were born alive. He has suggested that the woman who died, Karnamaya Mongar, had undisclosed respiratory problems that could have caused fatal complications.

Community Research Partners was formed to comprehensively address community data and information needs, primarily in central Ohio. Brian Gallagher, then president of United Way of Central Ohio, envisioned a new nonprofit that could undertake cutting-edge research, evaluation, and community data work to support human services and community development programs and policy, with a goal of measuring the community impact of grantmaking. He secured commitments from the City of Columbus and the newly-formed John Glenn Institute at The Ohio State University, and this unique partnership was incorporated in 2000. In 2001, CRP hired an executive director and became an independent 501(c)(3). In 2006, Franklin County joined the partnership.
Since 2000, CRP's professional staff, working in collaboration with a network of university and consultant partners, has undertaken over 230 projects and programs for public sector, philanthropic, and nonprofit organizations within and outside of central Ohio. In doing this work, CRP has built a reputation for high-quality, highly usable work that supports planning, policy, and action.
Community Data: Empowering the community CRP collects, analyzes, and makes available original and secondary data to enhance understanding of community conditions, trends, resources, and needs. This information supports planning, policy, and action by funders, program providers, and residents.
Research and Evaluation: Discovering what is...to inform what could be. CRP designs and conducts program evaluation and applied research that address local, state, and national programs and issues, builds the knowledgebase in critical areas, and measures the impact of program investment.
Public Policy: Impacting public dialogue CRP provides data and research, and works in collaboration with other state and local groups, to support public policy options that improve the lives of low-income and disadvantaged persons and that strengthen Ohio's economy and communities.
Products. CRP presents the results of our work in clearly written, accessible, and user-friendly products. We create innovative methods and useful tools for program development and policy making.
Areas of Expertise. CRP works in a wide range of fields, including human services, education, health, housing, employment, safety, community development, and race and diversity. Our policy expertise includes community indicators, demographics, early child care and education, K-12 education, adult education and training, affordable housing and homelessness, and poverty and the working poor. This enables us to bring a holistic perspective to our work with a wide range of policy makers, funders, and community organizations.
CRP is a model of a government, philanthropic and university partnership that improves communities, because of our distinctive capacity to:

Getting to Know You: Q&A with KOACH E-zine EditorsNew this month! What are Jewish college students thinking? Join us through journeys of the mind with our new KOACH E-zine Interview feature! Name: David Schwartz School: Washington University in St. Louis Graduation Year: 2008 Major: Education, History Minor: Judaic Studies On Being Jewish… Have there been any times in your life when you were really proud to be Jewish? When Israel won an Olympic medal. Embarrassed to be Jewish? When a Jew shot Yitzchak Rabin. What is your favorite thing about being Jewish? The prayers and music. What Jewish customs do you miss from home? Getting blessed on Friday night (I have to content myself with "blessing vibes"), Havdalah, playing Kosher Hide-and-Seek with restaurant menus. Do you find that your campus is accepting of Jewish students? Quite accepting. How do you go about explaining traditions to classmates? It depends on the tradition and on the classmate. If it's a fundamentalist Christian, my saying, "God said to do so in the Holy Bible," works for them. If it's a Muslim (like my roommate) and I'm explaining kashrut, I say "It's like halal but stricter." Generally, I try to stick to shorter explanations, unless the person really seems interested in finding out more about the custom. As a KOACH Intern…
What is your role as a KOACH intern? I see my role as the KOACH intern and chair of the campus Conservative Minyan Committee to be a resource for other Conservative Jews on campus. I do this by talking with other students to discern their needs and trying to plan programs accordingly. I also have recruited other students who have an active Conservative background/interest to help plan these programs and to find the student leaders for our weekly Friday night services. Would you recommend the program to others? Absolutely, particularly if you already intend to be active in your campus's Conservative community. Then you can do what you would have done anyway with additional resources. Do you play a role at your campus's Hillel? What kinds of activities have you planned? As the voice of the campus Conservative community, I represent us when there are meetings of the three denominational leaders to hammer out issues like leading Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals) on Friday nights. One of the more successful programs we've done is monthly Shabbat Minhah/Seudah Sh'lishit/Ma'ariv programs (afternoon and evening services, with a meal "sandwiched" in between). The cost is $50ish for food, finding a Torah somewhere, getting sufficient siddurim/humashim (or making copies), and finding leaders/readers. The benefit is drawing people who wouldn't wake up on time for a Shabbat morning service and tapping into the experiences of Ramahniks and former USYers. Other great activities have been a joint Break-the-Fast with the Muslims at the end of Yom Kippur, since Ramadan was in full swing; a PB&Jews program where we made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless and peanut butter sandwiches with a wide array of toppings for ourselves; and the first egalitarian Simhat Torah celebration on our campus. Next semester, we're doing a Chocolate Seder and a Latke-Hamantaschen Debate, where professors from the sciences and from the humanities/social sciences debate the merits of their respective food using any possible argument. We advertise for all of these activities via our Facebook group, "Conservative Jewish Students." The Power of Israel… How do you connect with Israel, as an American Jew? I connect to Israel through my prayers, through my reading choices, through making Haaretz.com my homepage, and through birthright israel. Do you feel that your birthright israel trip changed the way you think about Israel? Completely. There's nothing quite like the experience of being in the places you've only read about. For you, does being Jewish involve supporting Israel? Why or why not? For me as a history major, I would say that it does not need to, because many Jews historically have been against the existence of a political state of Israel. For my non-academic side, I'd say that while there are many portals for connecting to Judaism, Israel is a great one for uniting many Jews who might not always agree. In the Future… What are your personal goals? Religious? Professional? My personal goal is to be a mentsch. My religious goal is to help connect others to Judaism and my professional goal is to be a middle school social studies teacher, quite possibly in a Jewish Day School. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? In five years, I see myself teaching. In ten years I see myself probably married. Beyond that, my crystal ball gets too cloudy. [Posted 12/25/05] |

You are what your record says you are and the Celtics just aren't a very good team right now. This team still has potential, but they aren't going anywhere good without some big improvements on defense.
They just played appallingly bad defense for much off the first half, which gave the Sixers confidence. Once the C's actually started playing better, the Sixers were so confident that they just kept hitting shots.
It was a valiant effort to get back in the game after trailing by 10 or more for the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but ultimately not enough to overcome the deficit their defense put them in early on.
- Deja vu all over again - Celtics get quick, early lead then go completely cold. What's that all about?
- I'm putting out an APB - if you have seen our defense, please call Waltham and let them know where they can find it.
- Evan Turner was a beast all night, leading the team in points (25) and rebounds (11).
- Ditto for Jrue Holiday who had 21 points and added 14 assists.
- Wilcox had another solid game and got a few more minutes to contribute.
- Not sure what else Rondo can do. A ridiculous 19 assists in a losing effort (plus 14 points).
