The Observer Group won 17 awards, including five first-place awards, at the Florida Press Association's "Better Weekly Newspaper Awards" July 11, in Palm Beach. The Observer Group, whose publications include The Longboat Observer, The East County Observer, The Sarasota Observer and The Gulf Coast Business Review, garnered more awards than any other newspaper company competing in the annual contest. Seventy-two weekly newspapers submitted more than 1,500 entries.
The Observers competed in Division A, the more-than-15,000 circulation category, and The Gulf Coast Business Review competed in Division C, the under- 7,000 circulation category.
The Longboat Observer picked up three first-place awards: Editorial Page (Matt Walsh, editor), Front Page Layout (Nancy Schwartz, assistant managing editor/design) and Sports Feature Story (Robin Hartill, community editor).
Contest judges deemed Walsh's editorials as "devastatingly detailed editorials on local government's lapses and misjudgments. Clever writing — conversational, easy read. Broad grasp of local issues, well-deliberated."
Schwartz's front-page design had judges citing her "great, consistent look — modern, yet gets news up front. Colors are subtle but impactful."
Judges' comments about Hartill's sports-feature story, "Longboaters take steps for breast cancer," included, "Good description, puts the reader in the middle of the activity. Not just a collection of quotes pretending to be a feature story." Hartill also received an honorable mention in Business Writing for her story on St. Armands Circle property owners fighting for property tax re-assessments.
Longboat Observer Managing Editor Jessica Luck took second place in Outdoor Writing for "An ounce of hope," a story about Warren Girle and Billy Harris' fishing-tournament victory — their first in four attempts. Judges said, "A great fish story — well-told and well-structured." Luck also garnered third place in Spot News Photo for her photograph of Vice Mayor Bob Siekmann and David Brenner reacting to Siekmann's commission-seat victory.
The Longboat Observer placed third in Overall Graphic Design and received honorable mention for General Excellence. For a complete listing of Observer Group awards, see the box below.

Footwear veteran Charles "Buck" Lauer died on Feb. 7 after a battle with cancer. He was 67.
Lauer, who launched his career at U.S. Shoe Corp., spent time at Dexter and Wolverine World Wide Inc. He was president of the Nine West sales division until 2006, and, more recently, was a consultant there.
According to his wife, Kathy Lauer, the executive most enjoyed working with newcomers to the industry. "He liked mentoring people coming up in the business," she said.
Mark Neal, president of Wolverine's lifestyle group, recalled being mentored by Lauer at the Rockford, Mich.-based company in the mid-1990s. "It was my first job in the industry," he said. "Buck spent a lot of time teaching me the ropes."
Designer Maggi Mercado also worked with Lauer in Wolverine's Hush Puppies division. "I joined Buck's team, where he was instrumental in updating the brand, contributing ideas to marketing campaigns and product development initiatives," she said.
Lauer is survived by his wife, three children and six grandchildren.
A celebration of Lauer's life is planned for Sunday, Feb. 19, at 2 p.m. at Vistoso Memorial Chapel in Oro Valley, Ariz. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Nationals promote RHP Jordan for big league debut
Saturday - 6/29/2013, 1:51pm  ET
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Washington Nationals have promoted right-hander Taylor Jordan from Double-A Harrisburg and are having him make his big league debut right away.
The 24-year-old Jordan was set to start Saturday in New York against the Mets.
The Nationals selected Jordan's contract and also recalled right-hander Erik Davis from Triple-A Syracuse. First baseman Chris Marrero and outfielder-infielder Jeff Kobernus were optioned to Syracuse.
Jordan is 9-1 with a 1.00 ERA in a combined 15 games at Double-A and Single-A this season. He is already set to represent the Nationals next month in the All-Star Futures Game at Citi Field.
Jordan takes the rotation spot previously held by Dan Haren, who hurt his right shoulder and is on the disabled list.

Elton E. Fawks Bald Eagle Refuge
Nature Preserve
Rock Island County
Location and Access:
From Hampton, take Highway 84 north 1.5 miles. The preserve is on the south side of the road.
Special Note: This preserve is closed to visitors between October 1 and April 1 to prevent disturbance to the large population of bald eagles which roost here.
This site has been recognized for many years as an important winter roosting site for bald eagles. The bluffs along this portion of the Mississippi River overlook Lock and Dam 14, an important winter feeding area for bald eagles. Although the primary purpose of the preserve is to provide roosting habitat for bald eagles, the forest present on the site contains young second growth and mature second growth oaks, sugar maple, shagbark hickory, hackberry, black walnut and black cherry. The site also has a very diverse spring flora, that includes bloodroot, trillium, Dutchmen's breeches and wild ginger.
This preserve is named in memory of Elton Fawks for his significant contributions to the conservation of bald eagles in the midwest. Fawks led the effort to see this bald eagle roost, formerly known as Oak Valley, protected.

Thread: PCV valve question
PCV valve question
Have a 2003 Silverado 1500 4X2 ext. cab with 5.3 V8. Just did a tune-up and the original pcv valve is not a valve at all, but a housing with tiny hole in the big end. I used AC Delco replacement parts from RockAuto.com. The replacement valve looks just like any other pcv valve, although it doesn't have the part number stamped on it like every other ACD pcv valve I've ever bought (Dealership tech for 20 years, several years ago). The service number on the box matches the number stamped on the original valve, but the valve itself is different. Anybody know what's going on with this? By the way, the service number is CV2001C. Thanks in advance for your help.
Good Luck and God BlessRemember that if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When I first started getting serious about wine, Chablis was the generic term for any white, particularly those mass-produced vinous products that were bottled in half- or full-gallon jugs. No one knew anything about varietal labeling or even that there were different types of grapes that produced different types of wine.
If it was white, it was Chablis; if it was red, it was Burgundy. Anything that sparkled was simply champagne.
That's all you needed to know. And if you drank wine in public places, people sipping martinis or chugging cold ones looked down their noses at you as if to suggest you join others of your ilk under the South Side Bridge.
But when wine began to become somewhat acceptable, those same cocktail snobs became wine snobs, and the game was on.
It became "tres avant-garde" to squeeze in next to someone at the local beer garden and proclaim for all the world to hear: "I'll just have a glass of Chablis." So what if the bartender had to reach with both hands under the bar for the humongous jug, and then struggle to get some of the stuff into the glass.
We were so cosmopolitan!
Of course, none of us knew the composition of the wine back then, (nor did we care), and most of us were just happy not to gag on the swill that passed for wine. When I recall those days, my embarrassment is tempered by the realization that our casual misuse of the terms Chablis, Burgundy and champagne made the French completely insane.
Where am I going with this? Well, in the past month I have had the pleasure of sipping some excellent "real" Chablis. Of course, Chablis is an appellation and a region within Burgundy where the primary wine-producing grape is chardonnay.
Wines produced in Chablis are generally more austere than chardonnay made in the more famous areas of Burgundy (Puligny-Montrachet, Corton Charlemagne, etc.), but they are considerably more reasonably priced.
The wines are steely textured with exceptional minerality and usually have a big dollop of acidity to balance out the richness of chardonnay. In good vintages, such as 2008, Chablis can continue to improve in bottle for a decade or more.
The two wines I tasted were very closed in at first and required about 30 minutes to open up. They also had bracing acidity and were not wines you could easily sit down and sip as an aperitif. Both wines definitely require food, but once paired with an appropriate dish (in this instance pan sautéed cod), they showed their complexity and ability to marry seamlessly to the meal.
These Chablis should be readily available and priced under $30 a bottle. The 2008 Gilbert Picq Chablis is more lean and austere than the 2008 Joseph Drouhin Vaudon Chablis Premier Cru. I would advise cellaring both, because I am convinced they will develop over a period of years into fuller, richer versions of what they are right now.

Both of my cats wear break away collars with their id/rabies tags. They are indoor cats,but I feel better knowing that they have some identification.I've been lucky because even though they run and play,the collars manage to stay on them.

Yet another reminder of how low-key my cats are: neither of them have ever seemed to mind wearing a collar. Coda had a collar on her from the shelter when we brought her home (they put collars on all, or at least most of their cats there) so she was already used to wearing one. Cal didn't have a collar when I found him and I have no idea if he'd ever worn one before, but he didn't protest at all when I put one on him.
When we first brought Coda home, we took her collar off at night for a while because she liked to bounce off the walls at about 4am and the bell got annoying then, but after she settled in better and started mostly sleeping through the night in bed with us, we stopped taking it off at night. I somewhat frequently take their collars off to give them a good scratching underneath the collar area, which they both LOVE, but aside from that, they always wear their collars. Just makes me feel better, and when their collars start to wear out, shopping for new cute designs is always fun.

One of my boys, Papito, LOVES his collar. He ruined one, so I took it off to switch his tags onto the new collar, and he was standing in my lap waiting for me to put it back on, squeaking indignantly. He seems to really enjoy his jingles.

I did, but it is not that quick. They had to get approval form previous owner to change contact info to mine, etc. Actually last week we finish the process and finally it works, I can access their data online at the microchipping service website and I am listed as owner of my cats. But it took 6-7 weeks.

If my kitties were outdoor cats, I would definitely put a collar and tag on them. Since they are indoor-only, I would not force them to wear one because I know they would find it uncomfortable. Maybe not all cats would, but I know mine would.

2 of my 3 cats go for daily walks in the garden downstairs. They don't wear collars because even the break-away ones aren't totally safe. Plus the stray cat haters who'd love to hurt me badly for feeding the strays would be too happy to know which of all the cats are my house babies and kill them. And when I tried a collar on Prince a couple times, a lovely one with his name and phone number that cost me a lot of money, he wouldn't stop scratching. Bells sound like a nighmare for the cat and for me, having to hear that noise all day and night.

I bought three collars for two cats. I was excited to accessorise them. I tried on Blaze first since he's indoor. He had it off in less than 30 minutes. I tried again when he was wandering the yard (unlike Blacky he won't leave the backyard) and we found it in the grass 10 minutes later. He didn't look like he hated it either when we put it on, so it must be very easy to fall off.
I never tried it on Blacky; I could see I'd be losing the collar in a matter of minutes if not days. I don't think I want to constantly wander the neighbour's yard to find a collar, either. She has worn flea collars without issue but they weren't breakaway, it was to serve a purpose... however, I wouldn't feel right putting a regular (non-breakaway) collar on her just for the sake of wearing a collar. Even though she is indoor/outdoor she never goes far. So no, my cats don't wear collars. |

Fishing is a way of life in the Maldives. It is the lifeblood of its coastal villages, where a traditional pole and line method is used to sustainably catch tuna, one-by-one, ensuring fish for future generations.
Want to help? Tell Chicken of the Sea to stop trashing our oceans!
Tuna are incredible creatures. Highly migratory, they travel thousands of miles over their lifetimes. Despite weighing up to 700 kg, the majestic bluefin can accelerate faster than a Porsche and can swim as fast as 43mph - some species travel from North American to European waters several times each year. Yellowfin have been recorded travelling from the US Pacific coast to Japan, they travel at an average speed of ten miles per hour, but can reach up to 50mph. A bigeye tuna has been recorded diving 250 metres in less than one minute - see if you can do better!
A school of tuna
Bigeye and yellowfin are fully exploited or over exploited in all oceans - they are in serious trouble in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, where they were relatively healthy just a few years ago. Stocks of the magnificent bluefin, the most iconic and valuable of all tuna species, are on the brink of collapse. In 1999, Greenpeace recorded how Mediterranean bluefin had declined by 80 percent.
And it's getting worse. Advances in technology mean large ships - floating factories - are now able to take as much tuna in 2 days as whole countries can take in a year. Increasing practices of tuna ranching are also further aggravating the crisis.
The biggest tuna fishery in terms of volume is skipjack - the tuna most likely to end up in cans. While skipjack is not yet overfished, if fishing continues at current rates it won't be able to sustain itself. What's more, the methods used to net skipjack all too often catch young yellowfin and bigeye, threatening these species further. Yellowfin, a much more commercially valuable species, makes up 35 percent of the world's catch. The majestic bluefin only represents 1.5 percent of the landed volume of tuna, but its dollar value is astronomical. In 2001, a single bluefin tuna set an all time record when it sold for US$173,600 in Japan.
Numerous other marine life are hooked and netted in the global tuna fisheries with 100 million sharks, and tens of thousands of turtles killed every year causing devastation to the entire marine ecosystems.
Pirate fishing is also rampant in high value tuna fisheries literally stealing tuna from the plates of some of the poorest people in the world. But even the legal tuna fisheries are partaking in the robbery. The so called "sweetheart deals" fishing nations and rich multinational corporations negotiate with coastal states for access to fish tuna in their waters are incredibly unfair. Only around 5 percent of the value of the tuna is given to the resource owners, often denying coastal communities much-needed employment and neglecting the responsibilities to fish responsibly.
Luckily, we have the solution - a network of marine reserves - national parks at sea; areas closed to all extractive uses, such as fishing and mining. These protected areas need to cover forty percent of the world's oceans. Marine reserves provide a safe haven for marine life. And if they are properly designed to cover crucial breeding and spawning grounds, they also work for tuna and species that migrate over vast distances.
Marine reserves can help save tuna, ecosystems, and ultimately the fishing industry. After all, the fishing industry has a pretty miserable future if there's no fish left to, well, fish...
Greenpeace's tuna campaign is currently calling for the immediate closure of the Mediterranean bluefin fishery, until stocks recover - and for 40 percent of the Mediterranean to be designated as marine reserves. In the Pacific, urgent measures including halving the amount of tuna taken, a ban on transferring fish at sea, and the creation of marine reserves in key areas of international waters must be taken to save the Pacific tuna fisheries and the tuna populations themselves from collapse.
Supermarket retailers across the world from Norway to New Zealand and USA to Spain are being asked by Greenpeace to answer the hard questions: Where does our tuna come from? Is it sustainable? Is it caught from an area where developing countries are being ripped off? Is it stolen?
We are asking them to make sure that they know where their tuna originates, from boat to shelf, and commit to only sell tuna which is caught sustainably, by small-scale developing country fleets or under agreements which are fair to the people of the Pacific.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - For the first time, the state Racing Commission is considering adopting an animal cruelty policy.
It's an attempt for the agency -- which oversees horse and greyhound racing in the state -- to clarify the authority it already has to punish racing permit holders if there is proven abuse, said commission Executive Secretary Jon Amores.
"This policy kind of clarifies how important and just how committed we are as a commission to addressing cruelty," Amores said Tuesday during a commission meeting.
The three-paragraph policy outlines what disciplinary action state code allows the commission to take. The commission will investigate all reported acts of animal cruelty, mistreatment, neglect, abandonment or abuse, the policy states.
It can pursue administrative punishments up to and including fines and revoking a racing permit. The commission will also consult with a state veterinarian to see if the alleged abuse or neglect is a crime.
Although they initially planned to approve the policy, commissioners eventually decided to post the policy for public comment. Amores said the policy should be on the commission website today.
The commission's authority to dole out punishment recently came to the forefront when it revoked two permits and suspended another for three men involved with racing at Wheeling Island Racetrack.
Commissioners declined to refer the three men -- James Grace, James Bloom and Christopher Bever -- to the Ohio County prosecutor. They agreed they needed more information.
"We need to be more thorough before we make decisions," Commission Chairman Jack Rossi said during the meeting. "I think we need to defer this issue to get further information.
A board of judges ruled Bloom and Grace didn't provide care to an injured greyhound at the kennel. The dog, Kiowa Dutch Girl, appeared to have a broken hind leg but was not given proper medical attention or pain medication, according to a report filed by commission veterinarian Lori Bohenko.
During Tuesday's meeting, Amores said there was "quite a bit" of evidence concerning the case involving Grace and Bloom. The commission has photographs of the injured dogs, sworn statements from Grace, Bloom and others, and several reports from Bohenko.
The Daily Mail obtained information about the case in June after filing a Freedom of Information Act request.
In the report, Bloom says Grace told him to let the dog heal on its own. The leg "looked broken, she was wobbly, she'd try (to stand) but she couldn't," Bloom said in the report. Grace also said he knew the leg could have been broken but said he'd seen dogs' legs heal without going to a vet.
In a different report, Bohenko also says kennel operator Bob Mackey violated rules. Grace and Bloom had been told to take the dog to the vet immediately. Grace said he spoke with Mackey the day of Bohenko's visit.
The veterinarian, who confirmed the dog's leg was broken in three places, also confirmed speaking with Mackey the day before the dog was brought to the clinic.
"Since Mr. Mackey had been informed by State Presiding Judge to transport 'Kiowa Dutch Girl' to a veterinary hospital immediately .<!p>.<!p>. he is in violation of West Virginia Rules of Greyhound Racing as outlined below," Bohenko wrote.

(WTNH) -- Medical Marijuana became legal in the state earlier this year, but the system of growing it and dispensing it to patients is still being worked out.
News 8's Jamie Muro takes a closer look at the business of using pot as medicine here in Connecticut.
The balance between pain and peace achieved with a harvested weed.
"It is one of the best medicines I have ever run into, ever," one woman said.
She hides in shadows, fearful of the law, but she could be your neighbor, your friend, your colleague, who suffered in agony for years with a debilitating disease, only to finally find relief in pot.
"Imagine if you were trying to do anything and somebody was driving a nail through your foot," the woman said. "So I decided to look at other options, and I found it. It's not perfect, but it takes enough of the edge off that I can function, mentally and physically."
State legislators listened to stories such as "hers" for years.
"It's still illegal federally!"
Yet, the debate always remained controversial. However, medicinal marijuana, cannabis, became legal in Connecticut earlier this year. The challenge now is how exactly will this all work?
"We are creating a several million dollar industry from scratch," said William Rubenstein.
Rubenstein is the commissioner of the Department of Consumer Protection, the state agency in charge of overseeing the operation. Inside the building, his team has been hammering out minute details of regulations legislators must approve by July 1, 2013.
"We think we are going to end up, at the end of the day, to have the best programs in the country," Rubenstein said. "At the end of the day, people will want to model their programs after what we do here."
Marijuana will not be grown like tobacco, in large fields that so many are accustomed to seeing here in Connecticut. It will be grown inside, with heavy security. State law says there can no less than three or more than 10 growers in the state. Who that will be, no one knows yet.
As far as distribution, chain pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens will not be the spot for pot.
Local pharmacies will keep the still unknown forms of marijuana locked tight, serving as dispensaries. The law allows only 2 1/2 ounces at one time to a patient who registers with the state, which can be done online with doctor's approval.
"I'm up in the air, we're going to look at it, certainly," said Rick Carbray.
The concern to participate or not, says Hamden pharmacist Rick Carbray, comes from Washinton D.C.
"I think the biggest issue for us as pharmacists is the fact that now we have a drug legal in the state of Connecticut, and illegal federally," Carbray said. "So what do you do as a pharmacist when you have a DEA license that you practice under now with narcotics. Is it going to be a problem with the feds coming in and saying, 'We're going to shut you down?'"
"Oh my God, it's amazing," the woman said.
A harmonious life, at last, between pain and peace, may soon benefit others like those currently living in shadows.
"It was an epiphany, it was like a sacrament to get up in the morning. I get teared up just thinking about it," the woman said.
True, there are still so many unknowns, but that does not darken an outlook to what some have been begging for, for sometime, hope.
"When does life begin? At 60! I've just had such a good time, and you won't find a happier 70-year-old anywhere," the woman said.

General Congregation
The supreme legislative body of the Society of Jesus consisting of major ("provincial") superiors and locally elected representatives. It is called to elect a new superior general when the previous one dies or resigns and/or to address major issues confronting Jesuit works and Jesuit life. There have been 35 such congregations in the 450+ years of the order. The most recent one met from January to March 2008 to accept Peter-Hans Kolvenbach's resignation at age 80 and to elect his replacement, Adolfo Nicolas.

George, Margaret Farrell, (1787-1868)
Founder of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati
Margaret Farrell George was a close associate of Elizabeth Seton in founding the American Sisters of Charity (not affiliated with the French Daughters of Charity in their Rule but only in overall spirit).
Margaret and several other Sisters of Charity on mission in Cincinnati in 1850 refused to accept the Emmitsburg, MD, SC leadership decision to join the American Sisters of Charity with the French Daughters of Charity. They knew that Elizabeth Seton wanted an American community serving the American church within American culture. In response to an invitation from Bishop John Baptist Purcell, they formed a new community—the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati.

Various titles or names are given to the Mystery underlying all that exists — e.g., the Divine, Supreme Being, the Absolute, the Transcendent, the All-Holy — but all of these are only "pointers" to a Reality beyond human naming and beyond our limited human comprehension. Still, some conceptions are taken to be less inadequate than others within a given tradition founded in revelation. Thus, Jews reverence "the Lord" (the name of God, YHWH, is holy and its vocalization unknown); and Muslims worship "Allah" (the [only] God).
Christians conceive of the one God as "Trinity," as having three "ways of being": (1) Creator and covenant partner (from Hebrew tradition) or "Father" (the "Abba" of Jesus' experience); (2) "Son" or "Word" (incarnate [i.e. enfleshed] in Jesus); and (3) "Spirit" (present everywhere in the world). Ignatius of Loyola had a strong Trinitarian sense of God, but he was especially fond of the expression "the Divine Majesty" stressing the greatness or "godness" of God; and the 20th century Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner could talk of "the incomprehensible Mystery of self-giving Love."
The reluctance of some of our contemporaries to use the word God may be seen as a potential corrective to the tendency of some believers to speak of God all too easily, as if they fully understood God and God's ways. (On the danger of understanding God-language literally, see "Trinity.")
See "Ultimate Reality, Human Knowledge of."
Gonzaga, Aloysius (1568-1591)
Italian Jesuit; martyr of care for the plague-stricken
Aloysius [Luigi in Italian] Gonzaga's family heritage was appalling. "His ancestors included despots who condoned assassination, debauchery and extortion." They bled their subjects by taxation. "Aloysius had a remarkable toughness of character. . . . his innocence was founded on neither ignorance nor prudery." As a young Jesuit, he had hoped to be sent to work on the foreign missions, but while caring for victims of the plague in Rome, he contracted the illness himself and died at the age of 23. (MacDonnell, Jesuit Family Album)
This reconciler of people who hated each other, catechist of Roman ragamuffins, consoler of the imprisoned, and martyr of charity for the plague-stricken was chosen by American Jesuit Terry Charlton as the patron of the school for AIDS orphans that he co-founded in 2004 in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa). St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School for AIDS Orphans is the first school of its kind in the world. (Visit www.sagnairobi.org)
The name Gonzaga is attached to many Jesuit secondary schools and to the university in Spokane, WA.
Gonzalez, Tirso (1624-1705)
Spanish Jesuit; preacher of "missions"; superior general
As a young Jesuit, Tirso Gonzalez wrote to the superior general several times asking to be sent to the foreign missions. But he never was. Instead he became involved in the ministry of preaching "missions." A mission is a week-long series of talks given in a parish with the aim of teaching Christian faith in a way that ordinary people could receive it and also of stirring devotion for living a good Christian life.In the process, he became an advocate for offering these misisons to the Muslims who remained in Spain as servants and slaves after most of their co-religionists had been expelled from the country. In keeping with the convictions of the times, he believed that Catholic Christianity was the one true religion with no salvation apart from it. But in his practice and in the Handbook he wrote on how to approach Muslims, he made a crucial distinction between the teachings of Islam and the people who practice it, whom he grew to respect and love.
Later in life, Tirso Gonzalez was elected superior general of the Jesuits; he served for 18 stormy years.

literally "good news"
The good news or glad tidings about Jesus.
Plural. The first four works of the Christian scriptures (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) that tell the story of Jesus — each with its own particular theological emphasis — and thus invite a response of faith and hope in him.
Gospels, Relations among the –
Although each of the gospels has its own particular theological emphasis, three of the gospels—Mark,Luke and Matthew—are quite similar in narrative structure and content. Thus they are called "synoptic" ("see together"). John is quite different.
Scholars agree that Mark was the first gospel written (c. 70 CE, 40 years after the events narrated). The author took some of the oral stories circulating about Jesus and put them together in one continuous narrative leading up to the account of Jesus' suffering and death. Luke and Matthew (perhaps c. 80-90) had Mark to draw on and also a collection of Jesus sayings referred to as Q (firsts letter of quelle, the German word for "source").
It is not clear whether John had any of the synoptics when he was writing
the fourth gospel (c. 100-120)., but its Jesus is quite different. Instead of preaching the coming "Kingdom" or "Reign" or "Dominion" of God, John's
Jesus preaches himself (e.g., "I am the way the truth and the life."). Scholars are agreed that the long discourses in John are the author's construct. The community of John believed that Jesus was speaking to them through the
inspiration of the Spirit. The literary quality of its "short stories"—the Wedding Feast at Cana, the Man Blind from Birth, the Samaritan Woman at the Well, etc.--is very high. They are much longer than the little pieces of narrative in the synoptics. There is also a wealth of drama and symbolic detail.
Some scholars rank a fifth gospel—Coptic Thomas—as worthy of study equally with Mark, Luke, and Matthew (see "The Jesus Seminar"). It is a collection of Jesus sayings without a story line. Several of the sayings, it is claimed, go back in time closer to Jesus himself than the "canonical" (church approved) gospels. Many of the sayings are "Gnostic" in form and content—they hint of special knowledge available only to insiders.
There has been a tendency in post-Reformation Catholic spirituality and practice (in order to counter Lutheran "errors") to overemphasize the need for human effort ("Pelagianism") at the expense of grace. To regain a balance, Lutherans need to make a place for human effort and Catholics need to embrace grace.
For Catholics, then, living the Christian life is less a question of avoiding sin
by avoiding the "near occasions of sin" (especially sexual sin) and more a
question of being aware of and living from the myriad opportunities that
might be called "near occasions of grace."

Grande, Rutilio (1928-1977)
Salvadoran Jesuit; martyr
A tortured, self-doubting priest who in the last decade of his life became fearless and a martyr.
Of mixed Indian and Spanish heritage, he was bright and gifted and yet tortured with self-doubt at every stage of his Jesuit formation. He wound up being a seminary professor of theology.
Called forth to speak against the atrocities committed by military and para-military forces, he suddenly lost all his doubts and preached so powerfully that he became a severe embarrassment to the government. He resigned from the seminary and went to work among the landless peasants of his home territory, teaching them to read and to claim their own human dignity and rights.
On March 12, 1977, he was ambushed and machine-gunned to death. His murder was the turning point in the life of his friend, Archbishop Oscar Romero. Instead of trying to please all sides, Romero started to speak out loud and clear and often against the military's violent repression of the poor. Soon he too was killed (March 24, 1980).
Gray, Howard (1930- )
American Jesuit; internationally recognized interpreter of Ignatian spirituality and Jesuit education
Howard Gray presently serves as special assistant to the president of Georgetown University. Previously, he was founding director of the Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Boston College and rector of the Jesuit community at John Carroll University, where he was also assistant to the president for mission and identity.
Within the Jesuit order, Gray has filled a number of leadership positions including that of provincial superior of the Detroit Province, rector of the Jesuit community at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology (Cambridge, MA), and tertianship director.
Four of his best essays on Ignatian spirituality and Jesuit education are re-printed in An Ignatian Spirituality Reader and A Jesuit Education Reader (both 2008).
Guerin, Mother Theodore [born Anne Therese] (1798-1856)
Founder of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, IN
As a child, Anne Therese Guerin "climbed the lofty granite rocks near the shore [of the Atlantic] and walked along the beach . . . pondering the mysteries revealed in her mother's belief that the ocean was a symbol of eternity" (Mitchell). When first one and then the other of her brothers died at an early age, her family grieved their losses. But when her father was murdered by bandits, her mother simply could not carry on. Anne Therese was 15 at the time, and for the next ten years she cared for and supported her mother and her sister, postponing her desire to enter a religious community. Finally, in August of 1823, she was able to join the Sisters of Providence at Ruille in Brittany (northwestern France).
This Providence community was only a few years old. During a mission in 1816, Pere de la Chapelle of the "Fathers of the Faith" (a name used by former Jesuits after their order was suppressed) had directed a Mlle.du Roscoat to the small community of Pere Dujarie, a diocesan priest. This little group became the Sisters of Providence of Ruille with Mlle.
du Roscoat—now Sister Marie Madeleine—as its head and foundress.
As a Sister of Providence, Anne-Therese—Sister St. Theodore—spent 17 years educating children ("First love them, then teach them") and caring for the sick poor in her native Brittany. But in 1840, in response to a request from the bishop of Vincennes, IN, she led a group of five sisters to the U.S. to establish a motherhouse and novitiate, to educate children of pioneer families and to care for the sick poor. The place was the remote forest wilderness (now five miles NW of Terre Haute) that she grew to love and that nourished her.
In the remaining 16 years of her life, she and her sisters opened an Academy now known as Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and schools throughout Indiana and eastern Illinois as well as orphanages and free pharmacies.
Today's Sisters of Providence and those who partner with them carry on ministries here and abroad in the spirit of St. Mother Theodore:
You will see many things in new light if you give the Holy Spirit
free access to your minds and your hearts.
Try then, today, to deliver into the hands of our sweet Jesus all
the care of the future, as well as all anxiety about the past.
Love all in God and for God, and all will be well.
What will heaven be if our poor Earth is at times so beautiful?
Mitchell, Mother Theodore Guerin—Saint of God (2006)

Tuesday June 8, 2004
Good morning! I did some scouting last night, so I will keep this short. I have some brief thoughts on the Twins draft picks yesterday. They made 22 picks in the first 18 rounds, including three first round picks and two supplemental first round picks. Twins fans have been discussing what the Twins should do with those picks for weeks now.
The Dickie Thon Fan Forum has a great string of thoughts on the Twins picks.
Twins Chatter did an excellent two-part look at what the Twins have done in the draft in recent years as well as which players may have been available for them with their picks.
Baseball America has so much information regarding the draft, prospects and more. But they have also been running an on-going blog of events and thoughts from the draft.
So, check out those sites for some great information. Below, I will show who the Twins took, and then some general thoughts on Day One of the Twins draft.
Oh, and later, you will see that Justin Morneau had a big game for Rochester last night! Quad Cities Alex Garcia also had a huge day!!
If you have any questions or comments on anything, please feel free to e-mail me. Have a great day!
The Twins had a much needed day off yesterday. But there was plenty of action occurring at the Metrodome. Terry Ryan, Mike Radcliffe, Jim Rantz and many others put together all of the notes they have generated on thousands of players around the country. Using that information, the Twins selected 22 players to their organization.
Here is who they took:
1 - 20th overall - Trevor Plouffe - Crespi Carmeste HS (Northridge, CA) - SS
1 - 22nd overall - Glen Perkins - U. of Minnesota - LHP
1 - 25th overall - Steven Waldrop - Farragut HS (Knoxville, TN) - RHP
1S - 35th overall - Matthew Fox - U. of Central Florida - RHP
1S - 39th overall - Jay Rainville - Bishop Hendrickson HS (Pawtucket, RI) - RHP
2 - 61st overall - Anthony Swarzak - Nova HS (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - RHP
3 - 91st overall - Eduardo Morlan - Miami Coral Park HS - RHP
4 - 121st overall - Mark Robinson - Mountain View HS (El Monte, CA) - RF
5 - 151st overall - Jeffrey Schoenbachler - Reno HS - LHP
6 - 181st overall - Patrick Bryant - Pensacola Catholic HS (Gulf Breeze, FL) - RHP
7 - 211st overall - John Williams - Middle Tennessee St. - LHP
8 - 241st overall - John Sawatski - U of Arkansas - LHP
9 - 271st overall - Jonathon Martinez - U of New Orleans - RHP
10 - 301st overall - Jeremy Pickrel - Illinois St. - LF
11 - 331st overall - Kyle Aselton - Oregon St - LHP
12 - 361st overall - Shane Boyd - U of Kentucky - RHP
13 - 391st overall - Walter Patton - Lincoln Land (Ill) CC - RHP
14 - 421st overall - Javier Sanchez - Notre Dame - C
15 - 451st overall - Juan Portes - Malden, MA - SS
16 - 481st overall - Christopher Tolbert - U of Mississippi - SS
17 - 511st overall - Eammon Portice - Ft. Lauderdale HS - RHP
18 - 541st overall - Josh Rose - Mariner HS (Cape Coral, FL) - RHP
A number of you have written and asked my thoughts on the Twins draft, specifically some of the early picks. Here are just some random thoughts on these picks.
- The first thing I have to admit is that aside from seeing Glen Perkins pitch one game, I have not seen any of these players. I really have no analysis beyond what you are able to read at mlb.com or Baseball America.
- Going into the draft, it was readily agreed that the Twins system needs are in the middle infield and with pitching. However, those who would draft also said that they would take best available in many places because these guys could be traded in the future to fill needs at the big league level.
- Plouffe is a high school shortstop who was highly thought of. The fact that he comes from high school probably means the Twins won't see him for 3 or more seasons. That helps Jason Bartlett's chances of significant playing time next season.
- So, is Plouffe pronounced "PLOUF," "PLOW-F," or "PLOO-FAY"??? I don't know, but as Kirk Beller mentioned to me shortly after the pick was made, it will be interesting to see how Bob Casey would pronounce it.
- The Twins hoped Gophers lefty Glen Perkins would still be around, and he was. If he had performed better against Cal-State Fullerton, would he have been at 22? Maybe not. He's left-handed and could be very good. Worst case, he's still left-handed!
- Do you see any other patterns? There is one that I particularly like. RHP or LHP. Teams win with pitching, right? Sixteen of the Twins 22 picks were pitchers. Eight of the sixteen were high school pitchers, and eight were college pitchers.
- How many of these picks will the Twins be able to sign? That is a huge question. The Twins have continued to say that they have every intention of signing their top picks. I hope they can. They took a couple of more 'risky' picks early, but they should be able to free up the money to sign them. Then a number of their late picks were college pitchers, who maybe would be willing to sign for less.
- A big question every year is which high school players will sign, and which will go to college. A couple years ago, the Twins took a chance on Matt Macri, but he went to Notre Dame. Aaron Heilman went to college too. Jeff Clement went to USC. So, where have this year's Twins high school picks committed?
Plouffe - USC, Waldrop - Vanderbilt, Rainville - Tennessee, Swarzak - LSU, Morlan - Miami, Robinson - Cal St. - Northridge, Schoenbachler - Long Beach St, Bryant - Alabama, Portice - Highpoint University, Rose - Nichols State (for football).
- So, it will be tough to grade the draft until we know how many of these guys the Twins will be able to sign.
Jered Weaver is believed to be the best
pitcher available, but he fell to 12th overall when the Anaheim Angels selected
him. His 'advisor' Scott Boras
scared many teams off, but not the Angels. Weaver is from So Cal, and
Arte Moreno has shown a willingness to
spend, so this pick makes sense.
A week ago, it was reported that the Padres would use
their #1 overall pick on JD Drew's
younger brother Stephen Drew.
Well, they went with a local high school shortstop instead, selecting
Matt Bush, who agreed to sign for a
$3.15 million bonus. Drew fell all the way to 15th overall, to the Arizona
Diamondbacks. Signability was an issue with him too.
There were a number of quality pitchers available. Old
Dominion's Justin Verlander
went 2nd overall to the Tigers. The Indians took lefty
Jeremy Sowers with the 6th pick. He had been taken
high 3 years ago by the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds picked 7th this year. It would
have been interesting to see if they would have taken Sowers again.
How good is the pitching in Houston? First, the Astros
have a rotation that includes Roger Clemens, Andy
Pettitte, Roy Oswalt, Wade Miller and
Tim Redding. But, the 2003 NCAA College World Series
champions from Rice University have quite a pitching staff too, as evidenced by
yesterday's draft. Philip Humber
was drafted third overall by the New York Mets.
Jeff Niemann was taken next (4th
overall) by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Baltimore Orioles selected
Wade Townsend with the 8th overall
pick. All three pitchers have fastballs that reach the mid-90s, but each has
second and even third pitches.
Those of you who, like me, read
Moneyball, are interested to see what the Oakland A's
did with their draft picks. According to the book, the A's do not want to draft
high school players. Because of lost free agents, the A's had extra picks early
in the draft. They started the draft by choosing seven college players before
taking Ryan Webb, a 6-6 pitcher from Clearwater, Florida. Then they took four
college players before taking a high school outfielder. Then they took four more
college players before taking a player from the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy
High School (Seriously??? I wonder what they learn there?). Then their final
four picks were college guys.
Well, that seems like enough for me. The other thing I noticed
right away yesterday afternoon was that the Chicago White Sox took
Raymond Liotta. You remember in the
movie Field of Dreams,
Ray Liotta played
Shoeless Joe Jackson. Does this pick mean anything?
Well, maybe we'll find out in four or five years!
Any thoughts on the Twins or other picks?? E-mail me.
Redwings 13, Columbus 3 - Justin Morneau did it again. Yesterday, he went 2-5 with two home runs (he now has 12) and 6 RBI. Chris Heintz was 2-4 with a solo homer. Brian Simmons was 2-5 with a homer and 2 RBI. Terry Tiffee went 2-4 with a walk and two doubles. Todd Dunwoody went 2-5 with a triple and 3 RBI. Michael Restovich went 2-3 with two walks. Luis Rivas went 0-4 to drop his AAA batting average to .214. Joe Beimel struggled in the start. He gave up six hits and two walks in four innings. It accounted for 3 runs, although just two were earned. Jeromy Palki pitched two scoreless innings, with three strikeouts. Gary Glover made his first appearance and threw a 1-2-3 inning. Kevin Hodge pitched the final two innings, striking out two.
Friday - Rockcats 4, Binghamton 2 - Boof Bonser has actually really improved of late. Last night, he pitched 6 1/3 innings and gave up six hits and a walk that led to 2 runs allowed. He also struck out 10 hitters. He improves to 3-5 with a 4.48 ERA. Jason Miller pitched a scoreless inning in relief and Bobby Korecky picked up his 9th save of the year with 1 2/3 scoreless innings. SS Tommy Watkins went 3-5 with a double. DH Billy Munoz went 3-5 with two doubles. Jake Mauer went 2-4. Rob Bowen hit a solo homer.
Miracle vs Sarasota - The Miracle's game was postponed. They will be playing a double-header today.
Game 1 - Swing 3, Wisconsin 2 - Errol Simonitsch went 5 1/3 innings and gave up two runs. He gave up six hits, walked three and struck out five. Eric Brandon, Jon Uhl and Kevin Culpepper three 3 2/3 innings of hitless baseball. SS Alex Garcia went 2-4. 1B Brock Peterson went 1-4 with his third homer of the year, a three-run shot that accounted for all the Swing's runs.
Game 2 - Swing 8, Wisconsin 0 - Chris Schutt was back in the rotation and pitched well. He gave up no runs on three hits and a walk in 7 innings. He struck out four. His performance moves him to 2-5 with an ERA of 3.95 for the year. Scott Tyler and Peter Tautor each pitched a scoreless inning. Alex Garcia continued a big day with his 5-6 effort. It included a double and two RBI. His average, after the 7 for 10 day, is up to .230. DH Brock Peterson went 3-5 with 3 RBI. Omar Burgos was 3-5 as well. 2B Paul Rutgers went 2-3 with two walks.
Any questions or comments on the Twins minor league system, e-mail me.
Just a couple of quick thoughts that I have had of late. I have XM Satellite radio in my car. I listen to a lot of the sports radio stations they have, but I listen to primarily 5 or 6 of the 100 stations. My favorite though is channel 20, Top 20 on 20. People can vote for the songs they would like to hear and depending on the votes, they take the top 20 and play them. While listening to it last week, I had a couple of thoughts.
First, Mario Winans sings the following lyrics:
I don't wanna know.
If you're playing me, keep it on the low,
Cuz my heart can't take it any more.
And if you're creepin', please don't let it show.
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know.
OK, I'm sorry, but isn't this information that a guy would want to know? I mean, why would he want to stick with her?
Secondly, I am a big fan of rap music, but I have never been a big Jay-Z fan, and the video is tough to watch. But 99 Problems is a GREAT song. It seems like so much of rap these days is to try to do something new and creative. Those are generally the songs I like, the ones that are a little different. 99 Problems has an incredible old school rap sound to it and I really love it!
Speaking of Old School rap, how about the comeback of The Beastie Boys!? You have to love them! If you haven't heard their new stuff, I would encourage you to Ch-Ch-Check It Out!
**Please head over to The View from The Bleachers and vote in The World Series of Blogs! They have included SethSpeaks in the AL Central contenders.
That is it for me for today. Have yourself a wonderful Tuesday!! As always, if you have any questions or comments on anything, please e-mail me.

From primitive camping to full-service RV accommodations to cozy cabins, Mississippi's State Parks are fantastic places to stay. For complete information, click here.
This week, Mississippi's national parks like others around the nation are closed due to the government shutdown. That includes the Vicksburg National Military Park, Brice's Cross Roads National Battlefield near Baldwyn, Grand Gulf Military Monument near Port Gibson, Gulf Islands National Seashore in Ocean Springs, Natchez National Historic Park and Tupelo National Battlefield.
Some travelers may be a bit disgruntled because they've had to postpone or even cancel trips to these sites, but there is one Mississippi attraction that is a part of the National Parks Service that remains mostly open for visitors and residents to enjoy, the Natchez Trace Parkway. A leisurely drive along the parkway, commonly known as the Trace, is a great way to enjoy a little downtime this weekend or to get to your destination without dealing with the break-neck pace of the interstates or highways since the speed limit is 50 miles per hour most of the way. Many travelers from near and far take annual trips on the Trace to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage and to watch Mississippi's scenic outdoors drift by at a much slower pace.
Stretching from Natchez to Nashville, the Natchez Trace Parkway extends 444 miles through three states and 10,000 years of history. Established as a unit of the National Park System in 1938 and officially completed in 2005, the Trace commemorates the most significant highway of the Old Southwest.
The natural travel corridor that became the Natchez Trace dates back many centuries. It bisected the traditional homelands of the Natchez, Chickasaw and Choctaw nations. As the U.S. expanded westward in the late 1700s and early 1800s, growing numbers of travelers tramped the rough trail into a clearly marked path. The "sunken" sections you can walk along today are clear signs of historic use. In 1801, President Thomas Jefferson designated the Trace a national postal road for the delivery of mail between Nashville and Natchez.
Today, travelers can wind their way along the Trace to attractions like the Ruins of Windsor near Port Gibson, the Mississippi Crafts Center in Ridgeland, French Camp Historic Village in French Camp, the Elvis Presley Birthplace in Tupelo and 50,000 acres of lakes in Tishomingo County.
Just a friendly reminder that although the roadway is open along the Natchez Trace, restroom facilities, campgrounds and visitors centers are in fact closed due to the shutdown. So plan accordingly if you'll be traveling the Trace anytime soon.
For more information about the Natchez Trace Parkway, visit http://www.scenictrace.com/.

TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians
CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago White Sox gave Detroit an opening to tie for the AL Central lead when Gordon Beckham hit into a game-ending forceout with the potential tying run on second base Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the last-place Cleveland Indians.
Down 4-0, the White Sox closed when A.J. Pierzynski and Dayan Viciedo hit consecutive fifth-inning home runs off Corey Kluber (2-4) and then pulled within a run when Paul Konerko homered off Chris Perez leading off the ninth.
Perez walked a pair of batters with two outs, and Beckham grounded to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who threw to second baseman Jason Kipnis for the force.
Chicago (82-72) has held sole possession of the division lead since Sept. 3. Detroit (81-72) hosted Kansas City on Tuesday night.
After Wednesday night's series finale, the White Sox host a four-game series against Tampa Bay and then close with three games in Cleveland.
Detroit finishes its four-game series against Kansas City on Thursday, then winds up with a pair of three-game series at Minnesota and the Royals.
Francisco Liriano (6-12) allowed all four runs and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings. He is 1-2 with a 6.30 ERA in his last seven appearances.
Kluber (2-4) gave up four hits in seven innings, retiring nine of his last 10 batters. Vinnie Pestano and Perez completed the six-hitter, with Perez gaining his 37th save in 41 chances.
Russ Canzler had three hits and homered for the second straight game, putting Cleveland ahead in the second.
Canzler doubled between a pair of walks as the Indians loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, and Thomas Neal barely beat out a potential double-play grounder as Carlos Santana scored. Upset by first base umpire Jerry Layne's call, Pierzynski jumped up and down at home plate.
Ezequiel Carrera and Shin-soo Choo followed with consecutive RBI singles that chased Liriano.
NOTES: Pierzynski has a career-best 27 homers. Only Carlton Fisk has more homers in a season by a White Sox catcher, with 37 in 1985. ... Chicago has hit back-to-back homers 10 times this year. ... The teams are a combined 2 for 8 in steal attempts this series. ... White Sox manager Robin Ventura shuffled his rotation, giving starters Jake Peavy and Chris Sale an extra day of rest. Peavy will pitch the series opener against the Rays on Thursday, and Sale will start the series finale on Sunday. Lefty Hector Santiago (3-1, 3.45 ERA) was plugged in for the series finale against Cleveland on Wednesday. The Indians start RHP Justin Masterson (11-15, 4.97). ... Cleveland RHP Roberto Hernandez (sprained right ankle) will throw three innings in a simulated game Wednesday. Indians manager Manny Acta said Hernandez will possibly throw one more simulated game after that and be done for the season.

Infant car seat, Click N Go Adapter
Your baby can ride in style and be noticed in the Britax Chaperone Infant Car Seat & Baby Carrier - Red. But this car seat isn't just about looks; it's also loaded with safety features to keep your little one comfortable and give you peace of mind. The base installs easily and includes storage for LATCH connectors.

The 5-point, tangle-free safety harness features a quick-adjust design so you can easily adjust the height for your baby's shoulders. This infant car seat provides side impact protection to contain your child's head and body and keep his spine aligned to limit injury, and an energy-absorbing foam liner absorbs crash forces. The high-density comfort foam layer gives your child a comfortable cushion. This seat is compatible with Britax Chaperone strollers, and will work with other major stroller brands when you use a Britax adapter strap. An ergonomic carry handle contours to your forearm for comfortable carrying, and a large, multiple-position canopy keeps the sun off your baby while you're out and about.

Comments about Britax Chaperone Infant Car Seat & Baby Carrier - Red:
I ordered this carseat for our 2nd child to use, after one of our original infant seats was recalled. Our old infant seats had the anti-rebound bar and we liked it, so we only considered seats with this feature again. Our older son outgrew his infant seats (both with 22 lb weight limits) by 8 months old, so this time we only looked at larger weight-limit seats. I picked this one because we also have the Britax Frontier 85 and we and our son love it. Hayneedle had outstanding pricing on this seat, and it was too good of a deal to pass up. Even though I read the reviews, I was still surprised at how giant this seat is. I drive a large SUV... Honda Pilot with 3 rows... and my husband has a 1 ton 4-door truck, and this seat only fits in the center seat of our second row. We could have put it on the sides, but only if the front seat was moved up/sitting up all the way. My husband and I are both very tall, so that wasn't an option for us. We ended up keeping the seat, though, figuring that our baby's safety was more important than being able to place the seat on the side. Some features it has that I didn't realize and now love are that it can strap into my Peg Perego stroller with the strap that Britax included, and that it has slots allowing it to be strapped into a car using a seatbelt only, and not a base. One of our old seats had this feature, and we did use it once or twice when relatives were here and we needed to take one of their cars.
