A word from Cantina Italiana
A tradition in Boston's historic North End. We have been serving generations of families,locals and tourists in the North End since 1931. People crave the taste of our food. Some say their mouths water just thinking about eating here. That's why when we change even the slightest thing,they let us know it. Some things should stay just as they are.Continued

- Great food as always!BobODined on 8/20/2014We absolutely enjoyed our dinner at Cantina Italiana. We were celebrating my daughters last day of interning at the statehouse and wanted to have dinner at a place we knew would be great. The wait staff was very attentive right from greeting us to explaining the outstanding specials for the evening and making sure we had everything we needed. The lasagna is a favorite and did not disappoint. The seafood ravioli special which was recommended by our waiter was delicious beyond my expectations. We can always count on a memorable experience when we visit the Cantina....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/2/2014This was my fourth visit and every time it has been excellent. The bolegnes is wonderful!Special Features:
- AWSOME food and servicePauldigiDined on 8/2/2014Loved the service. Third time going in past 6 months. The broccolirabe was AWSOME. Gluten fee pene tasted like regular pasta and loved the sauce and sausages with it. Wine selection was decent. They had two nice Sauvignon Blancs to choose from. Chianti Classico reserva always a good standby. Omar was a terrific and very attentive waiter. Only problem was the noise level as we were seated next to a party of 10.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tourist TrapOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/31/2014This is a TOURIST TRAP. There are plenty of other good options that are much better and reasonably priced. Average cost of a dish is 20$ and the price does not match the quality of the food. It's not bad but its not anything I'd write home about. The waiter got my order wrong and tried to blame me. When I placed the order he repeated what I said and yet blamed me for the mistake. He wasn't a jerk about it but he could have owned up to it. I don't think I will be going back. I was offered the dinner that came out mistakenly to be packed. When I left the restaurant I never got it. Guess they changed their mind.
- Great Classic North End SpotCtowntransplantDined on 7/29/2014Cantina Italiana was the PERFECT place for dinner with out of town guests to show them what the traditional North End was all about. Great food - OUTSTANDING service from Andrew - reasonable prices and a good wine list. Couldn't have been happier!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Was Highly RecommendedTiffanyBDined on 7/27/2014This restaurant was recommended by our tour guide after our tour of Boston. The food was very good. The service was excellent and the ambiance was very authentic for Little Italy. Our only con was the Calamari. Ugh! You just cannot serve chewy rubberband calamari when so many restaurants out there get it right. This restaurant got Calamari very wrong. Such a shame since Calamari is a family favorite of ours and we rarely get bad Calamari. The Lasagna was exceptional. The Veal very tender and flavorful. The seafood pasta dishes were amazing. We really enjoyed this restaurant and would recommend it to all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good traditional ItalianTlevDined on 7/24/2014With all the newer upscale Italian restaurants in the North End (many of which I love btw) it is great that Cantina Italiana has held to a their more traditional feel and menu. It is a really comfortable place that reminds me of the great Italian places my parents would take me when I was little where my dad would talk Italian to the staff it felt like an extended family dinner. The food is very good (freshly made pasta, more than solid sauce, nice wine list) and like I said, the atmosphere is relaxing and very welcoming. It's the kind of place to go to when you want good traditional Italian food with the family or friends without.Special Features:
- JackieDined on 7/19/2014thing was great, we arrived much earlier than our reservations but they still took us without issue.Special Features:
- Lunch on a Sunday was not busy.luv2dineoutDined on 7/13/2014Service was great. Food was ok, but not as good as other North End restaurants we have tried. No free refills on soda...$2 each adds up with thirsty kids. When you pay $20+ per meal they could at least give you a free refill.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/12/2014We eat here several times a year (at least 15x) and have never been disappointed in service or the meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not bad.mike492Dined on 7/8/2014I was looking for an old-school North End dining experience. Not the new, trendy, hour-wait, latest Big Thing restaurants. That's what I got. Relatively quiet. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful with suggestions. I ordered the Bistecca di Manzo, hoping for steak with an Italian spin. I got a so-so steak and mashed potatoes for $33. I ordered it rare, and it came out fine. Just a bit gristly and more fat on it than needed for the flavor. Next visit I'll try the chicken parm. My buddy had the veal parm and said it was ok, but nothing to rave about.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Skip the tourist spotsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014Great dinner without the tourist mobs. Skip the lines and you'll have a great meal here. Authentic. Good service. Quaint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time but not the last!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/4/2014Great atmosphere; an attentive waiter and delicious food! Large portions and everyone sampled each others dishes. We agreed that they were ALL good! Can't make a bad choice here. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants authentic Italian food at a responsible price in a great environment!Special Features:
- Great food, great server!ChrisVIPDined on 7/3/2014The food is delicious, but I especially want to thank our server, Omar. Simply put, he is the best server we have ever had, hands down! I felt like we were old friends by the time our meal was over.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business lunchdinner4twoDined on 6/30/2014The occasion was a business lunch and Cantina Italiana worked perfectly . The air conditioning was the perfect, the wait staff attentive and informative and ambience relaxed for a three hour lunch. Not a crowd of tourists ........old school North End Italian !!!Special Features:
- Favorite restaurant!!!JaswaseyDined on 6/28/2014Food here is traditional Italian & delicious! Good size portions. Comfortable atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Great EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 6/25/2014I am so happy to report that Cantina Italiana is back! The last time I was here was an unpleasant experience but is spite of that, I still brought a colleague from Denver here for dinner. The service was outstanding, the food delicious - everything that I remembered from previous years. Will be going back next week! I still wish they had a full bar, but it remains a North End destination.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We loved it!BostonNewbieDined on 6/20/2014Everything about this place is wonderful. Our waiter, Omar, provided expert service. His recommendatons were spot on. The food was incredible -- possibly the best pasta I've ever had. My husband had the chef's special risotto with scallops and loved it. The chef's special antipasto plate was truly special. Get there early. By 7:30 it was noisy and crowded. This is an old school gem amidst hundreds of other Italian restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never experienced this beforeArettDined on 6/14/2014I have never been charged for iced tea refills in a restaurant before. The food was Good food but when you get a small glass and then are charged for a refill l'll go somewhere else next time.
- Wonderful dinnerElsaDined on 6/7/2014Tired of all the hyped restaurants in North End, where people are endlessly lining up, we found this wonderful Italian restaurant on Hanover street which, after the Union Oyster Bar, appeared to be the oldest restaurant in Boston! Not only was the service outstanding, also the food was excellent. This place deserves more recognition!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 6/7/2014Food was fabulous and our waiter was fabulous, but the ambience......not good.
- great food. too busyjd37Dined on 5/31/2014Food wzs great, the place was packed, very noisy, service suffered.Special Features:
- Loved it!MevitaDined on 5/30/2014Everything about our experience here was wonderful--and I'm picky about Italian food. I can see why it's been a fixture in the north end for almost a century!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- authentic Italian foodHidesDined on 5/23/2014I felt like I was reading in a joint in the 1970s. Did and servings were impeccable! Beer list was not great but the wine list was extensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will visit again when in townOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/18/2014Loved this place! Very accommodating and food was scrumptious! We had a large group celebrating a college graduation and everyone enjoyed. We will visit again when back in town. My only complaint was that the bar was very small and selection was extremely limited. Otherwise, I would recommend this restaurant to all.Special Features:
- Great service !BostonItalianDined on 5/17/2014We travel and dine a lot. This was my first trip to Boston. My husband wanted to treat me to the same kind of experience with Italian food he had. This restaurant was exactly what he was looking for! The food was homemade and Good. The service made the experience! We made a reservation for 830 and were running 30 minutes late. I tried to change the time on open table but it wasn't possible as they were booked. My husband called and told the hostess she said on see you when you get here. The place was packed and there was a line waiting. Before we had our drinks we were seated. We had Andrew as a server he was very attentive and informative along with a great personality. Andrew is one of the best servers you will find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Graduation Day 2blueboyDined on 5/17/2014We had to change our reservation time because we were waiting for my son to arrive from NY. When we did arrive at the changed reservation time, we had to wait for about a half hour. I'm sure this is the norm for the North End of Boston. Two of us had a pasta dish and two had veal. The Bombolotti was truly an original--I enjoyed. Everyone was happy with their entrees and the calamari appetizer. The waitress was helpful and the restaurant had a certain charm. We had a booth, and there was ample room.Special Features:
- Loved it except for the noise levelTheRoseVIPDined on 5/17/2014We do plan on returning here, but we'll seek a night when it isn't so busy as the noise level was outta sight! We had to yell to one another across the table. They could use some acoustic tiling on the ceiling. The food was great, the service was terrific.Special Features:
- Frozen RavioliGeniaDined on 5/17/2014The staff at this restaurant were great. However the food was lacking. I ordered the Ravioli. The actual ravioli itself tasted like it came from the supermarket frozen food aisle. There was very little flavor. The sauce was also lacking in flavor. My companion ordered chicken with ziti in a white cream sauce. The flavors in this were bland as well. The restaurant seems lovely if you plan to sit at the bar and order drinks but I would recommend trying other options in North End.
- Nothing specialbbq222Dined on 5/16/2014That we were able to get a reservation with no problem on a Friday night should have been an indicator. To be fair, we recently relocated to New England from Dallas, one of the premier restaurant cities in the country. Over the last 2 months our dining experiences have left much to be desired and we hoped Boston could offer something more worthwhile, but our search continues. Food was fair to poor. The Saltimbocca di Pollo was so overcooked it was akin to shoe leather. The Ravioli Ripieni di Ricotta had a tangy tomato sauce with a nice bite, but the pasta was overcooked. The lasagna was good as was the Pollo Abruzzese, though neither were worth writing home about. We were pleased with the service and ambiance, though not likely to return.
- Solid Meal with Good ServiceNymovingVIPDined on 5/12/2014The food was typical of any Little Italy neighborhood restaurant in any large city with one......nothing to complain about....the food was good....the service was good (even though the server forgot to order our 2nd-course salad).....nothing EXCELLENT.....nothing disappointing....I'd go back & have another GOOD meal.Special Features:
- Great Spot for Special OccasionchompersDined on 5/10/2014The food here is outstanding but not flashy. This is genuine southern Italian food. I grew up in a southern Italian family and the food here is spot on. The ambience is the same as hanging out at my grandmother's house. Well kept but not flashy. I took my parents here for dinner for a special occasion and they loved it. Service was excellent and very attentive. Food was ordered and delivered in a timely (but not rushed - I hate being sped through a meal) manner. The owner also owns Fiore which is down the street, another great spot. Pricewise, this place is very reasonable for the portions you get. There are a lot of other great places in the North End, but this one is the most true representation of what the NE is all about.Special Features:
- Great service and foodStefDined on 5/9/2014I recently went to cantina italiana with a group of 6 family members to celebrate my graduation. The service and food was fantastic and everyone liked their dishes! Not one complaint! Wine was great too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot in the North End.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/3/2014Second time eating at this great italian spot. Don't understand the negative reviews. Food is excellent, service is fast/attentive, and the prices are fair.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't change a thingAnOldNeighborhoodGemDined on 5/3/2014Being that it is the oldest restaurant in the North End doesn't hurt. But I find this place one of the restaurants that hasn't given in to (Lets go Eclectic and be high end) it's a great neighborhood place with great food that has survived the times. Bring the kids so they can have the experience to talk about when they grow upSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- early dinnerluvcm60Dined on 5/3/2014My partner and I had a 7:0'clock dinner reservation and when we arrived the restaurant was already crowded! The Bruins had won their first game in the playoff and everywhere was crowded! The food was delicious! Our waiter was attentive but not overly so. It would have been nice if he checked in to see if we needed more water or bread. It was very loud in the section we were in but as I said the food was great so we tolerated it and enjoyed the food. We would definitely go back! Hopefully, we will get a different waiter!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I've been reading up on the Aegis FAQ at http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/...urity_FAQ.html and after reading this it is still not entirely clear how Aegis will/should behave with things like Python.
Specifically I'm porting OpenCV which has Python bindings. Ideally I would grant the libraries that deal with video the GRP::video privilege but it seems that you also need to build the package to be aware of the binary that may need the privileges. This would be straightforward if I knew that the Aegis system will make the determination based on /usr/bin/python being the binary, but I don't know if it will be /usr/bin/python or the path of the script which calls python.
In this second case it would still be possible for the script (assuming it is packaged) to request the additional privileges but in the first case it might not be possible - especially if the upstream maintainer of Python for Harmattan has not put an Aegis request section in the manifest for that package (or if it lacks a manifest altogether).
Could someone shed some light on this slightly confusing area?

Cabin fever, winter blues whatever you call it, this time of year can be tough on your mind, body and soul. Lack of sunshine, post-holiday depression, and the current economic crisis can make everyone feel edgy. The good news is that, according to Thomas Moore, author of A Life at Work: The Joy of Discovering What You Were Born to Do, these down times are periods of incubation which ultimately lead to a better understanding of life's meaning. But the process doesn't have to be a total drip. Here are some short-term coping techniques to feel instantly more positive.
1) Be healthy. Stress depletes the immune system, so eat well, exercise regularly and get eight hours of sleep each night.
2) Choose positive thinking. It is up to you to buy into thoughts or simply let them go. Ask yourself if a concern is limiting (i.e. pessimistic, self-rejecting) or expansive (one that sees possibilities). Cultivate expansive thoughts and release anything negative.
3) Give yourself a daily perk. Work into your schedule a short break to indulge in one thing you love. Examples: A favorite song, or savory snack, or a book you can't put down.
4) Start a journal. Write down whatever comes to mind. Try to fill up 2 or 3 pages without stopping and don't censor yourself. Read your entries a few hours later and validate your emotions, decide on some changes or just be with what is.
5) Avoid frenemies. Only interact with others who are sensitive to your needs and who you truly look forward to seeing.
6) Pick up a hobby. Learn a new sport or skill that has always interested you, even if you see no practical use for this knowledge. Acquiring new perspectives will restore your self-esteem and even boost your energy.
7) Volunteer in your community. All spiritual traditions agree that serving a good cause and offering relief to others are the best remedies for our own ills.
8) Give yourself a new look. Whether it's a new hair cut or simply trying out a new shade of lipstick, a mini-makeover can do wonders to boost your self-esteem and keep you feeling optimistic and happy. Go to the Makeover Studio right now!

On Monday we discussed the Dolphins' remaining quarterback options if they take the free agency route, whenever it may be that free agency is actually permitted to take place.
While there are a few impending free agent quarterbacks that would make the Dolphins a better football team and could potentially unseat Chad Henne as the starter in an open competition, there's no doubt that the best chance at ending this franchise's long quarterback drought, would be trading for either Carson Palmer, Kevin Kolb, or Kyle Orton.
Throw in Matt Flynn from the Packers and Jeff Ireland has himself several intriguing options if he wants to stray away from his normal conservative approach and go all in for a reliable quarterback that would instantly put the Dolphins in the playoff discussion.
I'm not going to argue the case for which quarterback I would prefer Miami trading for. Although, I would say Carson Palmer and Kyle Orton are safer bets than Kolb even though the Eagles are reportedly asking for at least a first-round pick. Of the two, Palmer and Orton, I'm not exactly convicted one way or the other. Palmer was once an elite quarterback in this league but he's never been the same after hurting his knee. Orton, on the other hand, will never be a top five passer, but he's younger and is arguably the most underrated quarterback in the league with the stats to back it up.
The week before the draft, anticipating that the Dolphins would try to trade down in the first round, I decided to reach out to some blogs that represented teams that selected late in round one, and offer them hypothetical trade request. When thinking about what it would cost the Dolphins to trade for a quarterback, I thought I would reach out to blogs that represent the Bengals, Eagles, Broncos, and Packers, to try and get a feel for what they would accept for these quarterbacks.
Please welcome in Jason Garrison from Cincy Jungle, Thomas Jackson from Eagles Eye, Kirk Davis from Mile High Report, and Brandon Benson from Acme Packing Company. I asked the bloggers to answer my trade request with accept, decline, or counter offer.
Carson Palmer Trade Request
The offer: Miami Dolphins' 2012 second-round pick for Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer
Response: Counter offer
Here's the deal, I'm going to have to decline your trade offer and make a counter offer. I would love to ask you for a 2012 first round pick but I know that a team wouldn't be willing to give up a first rounder for Palmer. At the same time though, I think Palmer's worth more than a second-round pick by itself.
So here's my official counter offers. The Bengals are in need of a running back. Cedric Benson is a free agent and it's unclear as to whether or not the Bengals will be able to re-sign him. With a new west coast system and a rookie quarterback, it will be important for the Bengals to be able to run the ball to keep some pressure off Andy Dalton. The Bengals did not address the running back position in the draft until they used their seventh round compensatory pick on Baylor running back Jay Finley.
The same goes for the cornerback position. Johnathan Joseph is a free agent and while Adam Jones and Leon Hall could start in 2011, they are both free agents in 2012. They Bengals also passed on cornerbacks like Patrick Peterson and Prince Amukamara so they could grab A.J. Green in the first round. The Bengals didn't address the cornerback position until they selected Southern Illinois defensive back Korey Lindsey in the seventh round. So, what I would propose is one of two trades:
One: The Bengals give the Dolphins Carson Palmer in exchange for a 2012 second-round pick and newly acquired Kansas St. running back Daniel Thomas. I believe that both Ricky Williams and Ronny Brown are free agents now, that, combined with the fact that I liked Thomas while he was at Kansas St. and I believe he could fit into their WCO well, are the reasons that I would want Thomas. So even though you'd be losing a good running back prospect, you'd be gaining a proven quarterback that knows how to win. or
Two: I would ask for a 2012 third round pick and cornerback Vontae Davis. I know that Davis is a first round pick, but so is Palmer and, really, you probably need a quarterback worse than we need a defensive back. In reality, this is the kind of trade Bengals owner Mike Brown would ask for. You would be getting a proven quarterback and losing Davis, but cornerbacks are easier to replace than quarterbacks are.
The choice is yours, but really, I'd be surprised if Brown is willing to deal Palmer at all in 2011. He's a stubborn man.
My counter offer response: Declined
I like Jason's outside of the box thinking here by throwing in players to the deal. But honestly, I don't find these trades very realistic. I highly doubt Jeff Ireland would be willing to give up a rookie running back he was high enough on to trade away a fifth-round pick to move up into the second round for. And I'm almost certain Jeff Ireland would hang up the phone after a chuckle if the Bengals asked for Vontae Davis.
Vontae is on the verge of blossoming into one of the league's best corners. Not only do you need a quarterback more than ever in a league that is evolving more and more towards the passing game, you need lockdown corners to shut down the pass on defense. Vontae Davis is going to be a shutdown corner and paired with Sean Smith, the Dolphins may have the brightest cornerback duo in football. That isn't something the Dolphins should be willing to part with, even if it is for Carson Palmer.
Kevin Kolb Trade Request
The offer: Miami Dolphins' 2012 second-round pick for Philadelphia Eagles QB Kevin Kolb
Note: Yeah, I was aware that the Eagles writer would decline the offer. While I believe Kevin Kolb has the most potential of any quarterback expected to be available, I don't think the Dolphins will be willing to part with a first-round selection for a guy who's thrown more picks and touchdown passes.
Response: Declined
I believe the Eagles would entertain your trade offer for Kevin Kolb— as long as it was for a first-round pick in 2012. Look, Kolb has value as a Dolphins-system-ready QB…very short learning curve involved…He can fit right in with ease. Kolb knows what it takes to avoid sloppy turnovers, which is exactly the trait Miami needs right now to move forward on offense… Kolb is not a spectacular playmaker, but likewise he is not an unseasoned rookie who will panic under pressure and cough up a key possession…Kolb knows when to hold and when to fold, which is the discretionary strength Miami has lacked in its recent QB history. Kolb is an accurate short-to-medium route passer, too, which would bode well for the Dolphins' current offensive system. He may not be the best stretch-the-field passer in the NFL, but Kolb can get it to the open man, and he knows how to find him. Kolb can manage a Miami game-plan… it's in his DNA. I think he'd be an excellent fit for the Dolphins in 2011 and beyond…and well worth the expenditure of a 2012 1st-Rounder…
Kyle Orton Trade Request
The offer: Miami Dolphins' 2012 third-round pick and 2013 third-round pick for Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton
Response: Counter-offer
I would counter offer a 2012 – 2nd and a 2013 – 3rd rounder. Future picks are downgraded one round for the next year. I'm not sure what the value is for a 2 year projected pick, but because it is so uncertain, the team trading the picks must give a little more value. I think most GM's would give up a 2nd rounder for a starting QB so adding the 3rd round pick in 2013 would balance the scales in my opinion.
My counter-offer response: Declined
If I were to continue the negotiating process, I would give in if the Broncos would settle for just a second-round pick. I just don't think trading a second and a third for Orton, who is attainable for a reason, is worth giving up two young players that would be brought in with those selections. If Orton was worth that sort of compensation, why isn't he the unquestioned starter in Denver? Palmer wants out of Cincinnati, that's the only reason he's available, and Kevin Kolb is riding the pine behind Michael Vick. Orton? While he's certainly a very solid starter, he's been inconsistent. He's not worth anything more than a second-round pick or two middle-round selections if you ask me.
Matt Flynn Trade Request
The offer: Miami Dolphins' 2012 third-round pick for Green Bay Packers' QB Matt Flynn
Response: Accepted
That's about what I'd hope for in a trade, though the Chargers got more for Charlie Whitehurst. I've wrote about why it's likely Matt Flynn will be traded. After three years of waiting, and a good first NFL start at New England, he appears to be ready for a chance to compete. The Packers traded Favre for a conditional fourth round pick in 2008, which turned into a third rounder after incentives were met, and then traded that pick as part of the deal to acquire Clay Matthews, so I'm always happy to see the Packers acquire another third round choice. But based on the Whitehurst trade, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers ask for a conditional third round pick (i.e it becomes a second round pick if Flynn starts so many games, or gives the Packers the right to swap a second round draft choice).
I don't know what other QBs the Dolphins might be rumored to be looking at, but I'm really eager to see some team give Flynn a chance. He reminds me of Rodgers circa 2007, but he probably doesn't have quite the same accuracy. He's only 25, so someone will be getting the prime seasons of his career. His two games in 2010 might look a little hit or miss (great game against the Patriots, lousy game against the Lions). But the Lions defensive line (Suhhhhhhhh) destroyed the Packers offensive line in that game. They knocked Rodgers out, and Flynn was running for his life while trying to play it safe because the Packers had no other QBs on the active roster for that game.

« Leaders Who Are Discerning | Main | How Pride Destroys Leadership, Part 2 »September 20, 2012
How Pride Destroys Leadership, Part 1
I repeated Hezekiah's mistakes—and learned the same lessons
I was in my early twenties when I took my first ministry assignment. I soon experienced what I call quick fruit—favor and multiplication of my ministry. I had many offers for highly influential positions at a young age. For example, I was appointed a district leader to more than 180 churches in British Columbia.
My heart was full of love for my Savior and passion to serve him. I was fearless, strong, and ready to take on large challenges—but I didn't see a heart of pride growing inside me. It eventually destroyed my heart and ministry.
Now years later, after repentance, transformation, and needed restoration, I can watch for key symptoms of pride in my personal life and ministry. I see these same symptoms in examining the life of Hezekiah, the King of Judah written of in 2 Chronicles 32 and Isaiah 38-39. Hezekiah tore down the idolatrous high places and brought Judah back to her God. Yet four triggers in his life made him susceptible to pride's destruction. Perhaps you'll find these same four triggers in your own life.
Trigger 1: Ownership
I took ownership and credit for the talents I possessed, which resulted in my getting caught in the trap of success and measurement of results. The problem with measurements of success in ministry is that they are moving targets. I justified my ambition by calling it "love for the ministry," but inside of me pride was taking root without notice.
God had given Hezekiah immense riches, wealth, and honor, and he prospered in all he did. With all his wealth, the Bible says he created for himself treasuries of silver, gold, precious stones, spices, and shields; storehouses to produce grain, wine, and oil; and pens for all kinds of cattle and sheep. Scripture also states he made great cities for himself.
When Merodach-Baladan, King of Babylon, and his officials came to visit Hezekiah, he was pleased to show them all his treasure. (I'm not in the army, but am I wrong to think that showing the enemy your armor is a bad idea?) "There was nothing in his palace or kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them" (Isaiah 39:2). Here's the key: God had left him alone in this matter "in order to test him and to see what was really in his heart" (2 Chronicles 32:31).
Did you catch that? My treasure. My fruit. My ministry. We forget we are only stewards of the gifts and the call, not the owners. The root of pride shows its ugly face when we dare claim to be the authors of such greatness. This became easier than I thought even while I was praying for God to guard my heart against pride. Each time I strove for more success, more results, seeing people as projects rather than those I was called to serve, pride grew undetected.
I've got to say, it's wonderful experiencing quick fruit in ministry. It's a great reward for hard work and seems to confirm the call of God on our lives. But it also is a very scary place to be. The church as a whole idolizes leaders with quick fruit and creates a celebrity status that isn't healthy for the life of one called to serve, despite the obvious fruit. What does this say to those who toil with a pure heart but see nothing? Can you see what granting celebrity status and idolatrous celebration of quick fruit does to the heart of a leader, especially a young leader without seasoned wisdom? This only models ministry as a means to gain success, not to serve the least of these.
Trigger 2: Keeping Score
I believed God owed me for serving him. I never would have believed that about myself if you would have called me on it, but looking back, I can see this attitude all over my life. When ministry was going well, I rejoiced in God's goodness. When ministry doors instantly closed and my dad passed away from cancer all within three months, I blamed God. I thought he was angry with me. My life became filled with shame and bitterness. I wondered how God could allow such awful things to happen to me, considering I had given him my life and served him with all my heart.
I was surprised to see Hezekiah struggling with the same attitude. When the prophet Isaiah told Hezekiah he was going to die, Hezekiah wept bitterly, telling God how he had lived in truth and served God with a whole heart up to that point (Isaiah 38:3). I could hear my complaints echoing in Hezekiah's voice as I read the Scripture. "How could you do this, God? I've served you! I don't deserve this!"
Despite his attitude, God did something wonderful for Hezekiah. He added 15 years to his life and promised to deliver him from the King of Assyria. The sign God gave him was nothing short of a miracle as he moved the shadow on the sundial back ten steps right before Hezekiah's eyes (Isaiah 38:7-8). What a beautiful picture of God's grace. Even in our darkest hours, God is there showing himself faithful. Do we see him moving on our behalf, or are we blinded by our own remorse? This exact posture held me captive for two years.
Bitterness is dangerous to the life of a leader. Once it has taken hold, no matter how gifted, that leader is at risk of losing all she has built. Not only are we unable to recognize God's provisions, but we take on an independent heart that says, "I'll do it on my own." We lose our dependence on God, because in our minds, he has failed us. Once this shift in trust has happened, gratefulness has left the building. My two years of independence from God was void of thankfulness for the times I had seen good things come from my efforts. Second Chronicles 32:25 says, "But Hezekiah did not respond appropriately to the kindness shown him, and he became proud." Leaders, we need to keep our hearts from the sting of bitterness.
These triggers are dangerous to a leader's heart condition: taking ownership for the gifts God has trusted us to steward well and believing, even subconsciously, that God owes us for our efforts to serve him. We are called to guard our hearts, which determine the course of our lives (Proverbs 4:23).
Next week, Part 2 will explore the two remaining triggers.
Connie Jakab is a blogger and author of Culture Rebel: Because the World Has Enough Desperate Housewives. Connie is an active speaker and worship leader, and lives with her husband and two boys in Calgary, Alberta Canada. She can be found on twitter @ConnieJakab.
To was a powerful message to heart. As I have been under two very powerful leaderships, one drove me to the other. And the other drove me out of the church completely. The familiar signs of the first ministry of control and manipulation in Jesus Name so to speak, quickly showed its ugly face. I am now at a lost in my life, and am well pass my youth. In prayer my question to God: is this; is it me Lord, or is it them. If it is I in you name purify me deliver me from evil and pride within self that I may continue in service to you Oh Lord my God.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. looking forward to part 2!
GREAT article Connie...
Spot on Connie, spot on. I wish more people who call themselves leaders could read this article. Scripture reminds us:
"Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom" (Proverbs 11:2).
"Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18).
"God opposes the proud but favors the humble" (James 4:6).
Our pride robs God of the glory that only He is worthy to receive. God will never share His glory with anyone.
Excellent article! Recently I have found that whenever I begin to privately (in my own heart and mind) feel proud of "my" accomplishments/ministry for God (as in "Wow, I did a good job on that, it really turned out great!") that God is quite quick to humble me (usually within mere minutes of that feeling) by pointing out some obvious-but-previously-unseen-flaw in that accomplishment... I would not have thought that this form of "self" satisfaction fell under "pride" (it's not like I'm "blowing my own horn" or fishing for compliments from others...) but apparently it does represent a bad/sinful attitude for me... Glory to God, and not to me, even (and perhaps especially) in my own heart and mind! Looking forward to the next 2 installments of this article.
A really good message - facinating more at the story of Hezekiah!
I appreciate the transparency in your story. Pride can come in many shades of subtility but the fall isn't far behind. This is a timely reminder for me. Off to find 2nd article.
looking forward to next weeks 2 triggers this article open mt understandig of what im going through and the word that came to me this morning about the need to confess and secrets i wanted to be recongized by my leaders and when things went bad for me and the ministry did not offer me help i was angry because i had done what God had ask me to do for my leaders faithfully for over 12 years i reminded God of it too i was hurt ashamed and falt humilitated that i had to get a ride to church for 8 months after my car broke down now im more thankful for the knowledege God has giving me today wisdom knowledge and understanding is what i seek him for now i know that comes with test and trails
Thanks so much,
Sandra of Carrollton

Open Mobile Terminal Platform
|Industry Forum
|Wireless Services
|"Industry recommendations", "BONDI initiative"
The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) was a forum created by mobile network operators to discuss standards with manufacturers of mobile phones and other mobile devices. During its lifetime, the OMTP included manufacturers such as Huawei, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson[1]
OMTP was originally set up by leading mobile operators. At the time it transitioned into the Wholesale Applications Community at the end of June 2010, there were nine full members: AT&T, Deutsche Telekom AG, KT, Orange, Smart Communications, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, Telenor and Vodafone. OMTP also had the support of two sponsors: Ericsson and Nokia.
OMTP recommendations have hugely helped to standardise mobile operator terminal requirements, and its work has gone towards helping to defragment and deoptionalise operators recommendations. OMTP's focus was on gathering and driving mobile terminal requirements, and publishing their findings in their Recommendations. OMTP was technology neutral, with its recommendations intended for deployment across the range of technology platforms, operating systems (OS) and middleware layers.
OMTP is perhaps best known for its work in the field of mobile security, but its work encompassed the full range of mobile device capabilities. OMTP published recommendations in 2007 and early 2008 on areas such as Positioning Enablers, Advanced Device Management, IMS and Mobile VoIP. Later, the Advanced Trusted Environment: OMTP TR1[2] and its supporting document, 'Security Threats on Embedded Consumer Devices'[3] were released, with the endorsement of the UK Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith.[4]
OMTP also published requirements document addressing support for advanced SIM cards. This document defines also advanced profiles for Smart Card Web Server, High Speed Protocol, Mobile TV and Contactless.[5]
OMTP has also made significant progress in getting support for the use of micro-USB as a standard connector for data and power.[6] A full list of their recommendations can be found at http://www.omtp.org/publications.aspx
Universal Charging System[edit]
In February 2009, OMTP expanded its Local Connectivity specification (based on micro-USB) to describe requirements for a common charger and common connector to enable sharing the same battery charger through different phones. The OMTP Common Charging and Local Data Connectivity[7] was adopted by GSM Association in the Universal Charging System (UCS) initiative. This has been further endorsed by the CTIA[8] and the ITU.[9] In June, 2009 the European Commission reached an agreement with several major mobile phone providers on requirements for a common External Power Supply (EPS) to be compatible with new data-enabled phones sold in the European Union. The EPS shares most of the key attributes of the UCS charger.[10][11]
Wholesale Applications Community[edit]
In July 2010, the OMTP transitioned itself into the new Wholesale Applications Community. All OMTP activities ceased at that time and have either been taken over within the WAC organisation or other standards or industry associations. More information can be found at http://www.wholesaleappcommunity.com.

I was entertained by the fights last night. There were a lot of commercials but that is to be expected from a free event on cable.
Anthony Johnson was disappointed with his performance but I thought he looked pretty solid. The fight definitely had that "only a matter of time" feel to it. Fiorvanti seemed as though he was just waiting to be knocked out. Johnson was telegraphing his kicks a bit. It was a good start to the night.
Josh Neer is a crazy fighter. He looked crazy and acted kinda crazy. Danzig's striking looked really good to me. I loved the way Mack set his feet underneath him and threw good combos from the pocket. Some of those combos were pretty standard and seemed to amuse Neer. My question is this; How does a guy as seasoned as Danzig get caught in a triangle the way he did? The big difference maker in this fight appeared to be top game. When Neer was on top Danzig was in danger. This was not the case when Danzig was on top.
Cain gets KO of the night? Is this a bonus that has to be given out? There was no KO last night IMO. Cain could not finish his fight in an entertaining fashion and fans don't like that. Why didn't Cain deliver knees to the body or just stand up? That fight was stopped on the basis of lameness. People talk about Cain's huge potential but I need to see more.
My favorite fight of the night was Veach vs Grice but that was not a fair stoppage. Veach was in worse shape on the ground early in the round and it wasn't stopped. Grice gets dropped and takes one clean shot and it is over? Laughable. Veach showed an old truth in fighting last night. A good chin and powerful hands are still a good combination of assets. Especially at 155lbs.
Joe Lauzon is awesome! I was never a fan of "Creepy Joe" until last night. Lauzon had complete and total control of that fight. He showed poise and skill. Stephens never had an answer. When I read Lauzon's pre fight comments I thought he sounded too cocky but the kid delivered. I love how he got it to the ground by attacking the leg over and over. His butterfly guard was almost artistic. The thing that comes to mind when I ponder this fight is "control, control, control". "Creepy Joe" is a great nickname but if Lauzon wants to be called J-Lau he has earned the respect to be called whatever he wants to be called. I am the newest J-Lau fan!
One Last thing: Rosholt needs to listen to his corner.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Next Monday, Albany and Dougherty County leaders will come together to discuss consolidation.
Experts from the Carl Vinson Institute of Government will be in Albany to answer questions related to a consolidation charter written by a separate committee several years ago. County Commission Chairman Jeff Sinyard said he called for the meeting to help answer any questions about the issue before the commissions vote on the subject again.
Sinyard said, "The primary purpose is for them to discuss, specifically, the process of consolidation and to answer questions and to really engage with the commissioners about different parts of the process that they need to pay close attention to and basically allow the commission to ask specific questions about what they think should be in their charter if they don't like the charter as it is written now."
That meeting will be held next Monday morning (August 24th) at ten at the Candy room in Downtown Albany.

It was a big night in the long saga over a new Allen Parish Jail.
On Monday night, Sheriff Doug Hebert met with members of the Allen Parish Police Jury about the planned jail.
Some issues involved how much money the Police Jury would spend to help fund the operation of the new jail.
After much discussion and questions from the panel, the Police Jury decided to go ahead with the project.
"Some time ago, I decided that the Sheriff's Office would build the jail instead of the Police Jury because I believe we can fast track it. So, the Sheriff's Office is building the Police Jury's jail is the best way to look at it. We won't make any money off of it or profit, whatever they pay will be exactly what those costs are," Hebert said.
Hebert said once the District Attorney gets the proper paperwork in order, the project will be brought back to the Police Jury for final approval.

Coral Gables, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Led by 19 points and six assists from Calvin Newell, the UCF Knights got past the Miami-Florida Hurricanes, 63-58, in an intrastate battle at the BankUnited Center
Kasey Wilson added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Knights (3-1), while Isaiah Sykes finished with 11 points and Tristan Spurlock posted a double- double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
For the Hurricanes (3-2), Garrius Adams led the way with 20 points and eight rebounds, while Davon Reed scored 17 points and Rion Brown chipped in with 11 points.
Both teams struggled from the floor in the first half. Miami made just 34.5 percent of its field goal tries and missed all but one of its 10 3-point attempts. UCF wasn't much better, making 39.3 percent of its shots from the field but it did manage to make 3-of-8 from beyond the arc, allowing the Knights to take a 28-21 lead going into halftime.
The teams improved their shooting in the second half. The Hurricanes hit on 43.3 percent from the field and 4-of-12 from 3-point distance. The Knights made 48.4 percent of their field goal attempts but just 1-of-6 from 3-point distance. The Knights led for the entire second half but never by more than 11 points. Down 60-58, the Hurricanes had a chance to tie the game in the final minute, but Donnavan Kirk missed two free-throws with 38 seconds remaining in regulation, and the Knights were able to escape with the road victory.
UCF had a slight rebounding edge, 43-36. Miami got more production off its bench, with its reserves finishing with a 19-6 scoring advantage over those from UCF.

This one-week retreat includes the Four Dignities of the Sacred Path of Shambhala. "The four dignities" are introduced as a path and a process, which describe a warrior's maturing and widening sphere of benevolent engagement in the world. The training in the dignities allows one to maintain awareness and delight at each stage.
The week includes meditation practice, talks and exercises, silence and discussion. You will also have time to explore and enjoy the land around Dechen Chöling and relax, read and study.
MeekMeek is a study of the grounded, humble and gentle beginning stages of a warrior's journey. Here one trains to overcome arrogance—the primary obstacle to learning.
PerkyAs the second of the four dignities, this level focuses on cultivating sharp, vibrant and uplifted energy through natural discipline. Overcoming the trap of doubt, the warrior of perky is able to accomplish his or her activities with a sense of nobility and ease.
Outrageous and InscrutableThese fruitional dignities refer to the extraordinary skill of a practiced warrior. No longer afraid of making mistakes, the unconventional and visionary perspective of the outrageous warrior combines with the skill of spontaneous inscrutability to create benefit for others on a large scale.
This programme is a prerequisite for Warrior Assembly, the jewel of the Shambhala path. Dechen Chöling will offer a Warriors Assembly in 2014.
Please not that there will be additional material costs.
Attention: To register for this programme, you must have previously attended the Great Eastern Sun, Windhorse and Drala retreat. Participants who have also attended all Shambhala Levels ( 1 to 5 ) can also apply on certain conditions. Please contact us for any questions.

My considered opinion: the iPad is a revolutionary device, because its not a computer. The iPad isnt for writing, its for reading. Its not for making films, its for watching films. Its not for developing software, its for using software. The iPad is a consumer device. What makes the iPad revolutionary is its single-minded focus on media consumption.Kate MacKenzie doesn't say the iPad is not a computer. But she does call it a "computing appliance," proclaiming: "The Mac Is Dead. Long Live Apple's iPad Appliance":
Both the iPhone and iPad are computing appliances; powerful, easy to use, inexpensive, and available to a rapidly growing customer base -- those of us who just want to do things with our apps, and not be beholden to whatÕs inside. The iPad represents a computing toaster; no, a computing kitchen full of tools, but each easier to use than anything available on a Mac (or, a Windows PC). Those Mac and PC users with many years of computing experience will decry the iPad as being a toy, not suitable for real work, not even really a computer. The rest of us will simply use it, again, and again, and often in situations where a Mac once ruled. We will download apps, play games, communicate with one another, and leave the past behind.Also, consider the comments on my tongue-in-cheek post last week, "How to get an iPad before they go on sale." "Cymru Plaid" says:
For most people, computer means PC - it runs a real operating system, you can connect peripherals to it, etc. This isn't a PC. It's just a huge iPod... Unless you think the iPod is a computer. In which case you're a blasted idiot.Cymru's opinion is pretty popular, many people believe the iPad is not a computer. But they're wrong. Of course, the iPad is a computer, as is the iPhone and iPod, even the iPod Nano. They store, retrieve and processes data, in the form of music and videos. They're electronic. And they're programmable -- even the iPod Nano gets occasional updates from Apple. The iPad is a computer. It appears to be a very simple, easy to use, and relatively inflexible computer, compared with a Mac, Windows, or Linux PC. But it's still a computer. Arguing otherwise is silly.

Number of ratings 27 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
She was very clear in her teaching; nothing ever made me go "Wait, huh?" Easy pop quizzes help your grade out a lot. She has a passion for what she teaches and makes history (my least favorite subject) interesting.
She's very nice and you don't need the book at all just use the website. She gives study guides for the midterm and final which makes it hard not to get an A. You HAVE to go to class by the way. The papers are pretty easy too. Overall very easy class she makes history actually sound interesting. Take her before anyone else
Dr. Mitchell-Cook is a wonderful professor! You definitely need to attend class because she does pop quizzes on things that you learned that day. They certainly help your grade. She is very passionate about what she teaches. Utilize her office hours when writing papers because she will help you soo much. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Tough, fair, thorough and enthusiastic. Dr. Mitchell-Cook expects a lot but gives students the tools to achieve at a high level. It was a challenging course, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Amy has a real passion for the maritime profession and the history of the sea. IF you want a class learning about pirates and battles then this is not for you. If you want to learn about America's place on the seas and what our ancestors had to endure and what they accomplished then sign up for it.
She's amazing and one of my fav. teachers ever. She is so nice and understanding and really cares about her students. I had a lot of bad luck and lost someone very close to me this semester and had to miss some classes which most of your grade is participation. She took the time to talk to me about it and worked it out with me so I could still pass the class. Don't stress about notes just listen to the discussion. No tests, 5 response papers, and a 10-12 pg research paper. You won't regret it
She's a fantasic teacher. Very helpful and straight forward. She tells you exactly what she wants and how. She's very fair and I'd recommend her for any body and all classes she teaches I've taken her twice and loved both experiences.
Dr. Mitchell-Cook is indeed a great teacher, but don't be fooled--work. I took a 6 week online course, and started out average as writing in historical style is the opposite of my discipline's. Ask what she wants from you and she'll get right back.Online was all from the book. Pulled out a B+ by nailing the last half and lots emails. Good though.
Dr.Mitchell-Cook was really great. Never read from the book and still got an A. 3 response papers and a research paper, but overall a great teacher. Although she doesn't pass out a sign in sheet, all her quizzes are done in class and you can't make them up usually, also her notes are given in class ONLY which make up her tests.
Grad reading seminar. Great reading list covers one book each week w/ one page paper. Presentations with 3 page papers and paper defense. Also 20 page research paper req'd. Dr Cook is very even handed and expects discussion from grad students. If you can critically read and write you will do well in her class. Start 20 page paper research early!
Great professor. Extremely helpful and always available if you are having difficulties. Lectures can be dry for non-History people, but she makes it as appealing as possible. Advice for the final paper--Start EARLY!! Exams are easy: she provides study sheets wuth EXACTLY what will be on the exam.
Mitchell-Cook is a great teacher. Her lectures can be boring if you are not a history buff. There are a couple short papers that are graded hard, and a research paper. The midterm is very easy if you study exactly what she tells you. She is very helpful out of class. She wants to help. If you work hard, the class will be easy to you.
Excellent professor, quick to help, easy to understand, the content is challenging but her disposition makes it that much easier. Great class, but an even greater instructor.
I was worried when I read her lengthy syllabus, but she ended up being really cool and helpful. The class isn't that tough and because I went into the final with an A, I didn't even have to take it! I don't know if that's standard procedure for her but it was a good surprise for me.
Very Nice Teacher. Gives you papers to write, these were graded pretty hard. Don't have to read the book if you just listen in class and take notes.
Easy class. Short papers and random pop quizes from the lecture she gave that day. gives a review sheet for midterm and final. super easy and she is always willing to help. History is my least favorite subject and i made a good grade. class is boring though. I dont suggest taking it at 8:30 am.
Pretty easy class. Go to class, there are quizzes here and there and even if you pay attention they are tough but they are only worth 10 points. Not the most interesting lectures, but not that boring either. Pretty good for general studies and she's really helpful too. I never had a problem to say the least.
She is very sweet and helpful if you go talk to her when you need help. Her lectures are very scattered though, but her tests are super easy...she gives an exact test review.The only thing that I did not love was that she has attendance quizzes that are over what she teaches in class and they are kinda hard. Besides that she is great.
This class was pretty interseting. She is an awesome teacher and is willing to help anytime. You do have to take notes, but as long as you come to class, it's not that bad. Just watch out for her possible T.A Cherity Lees, she's a..
Truly nice lady! KInda interesting material in the beginning then it gets really boring but you will live. Just do all the work, and take notes and you should get at least B.
Very good teacher. all notes are on powerpoint and if u copy them you should have an easy A. she has pop quizes which are not bad; they only cover what we went over in that class only nothing from before.
She is a very nice person. Willing to work with students and shows that she cares. Is very knowledgable about her subjects. Mostly lectures in class. Tests are not hard. Had to do lots of internet exercises describing pictures and letters written back in like the 1500s. Didnt like doing that..but its not that hard I guess. It just annoyed me. Had t
Maritime Hist.
She is an absolute goddess! And, she is the smartest professor I have ever had. What an awesome teacher who really knows her stuff.
If it's possible to take a class with this woman, I suggest you do it! She could make even the most boring subject interesting. She makes sure everyone understands the material, and she is quick to help any student who needs it.
Awesome teacher, I highly recommend any of her courses.
She is wonderful; she makes class a joy; the fact that she is a tall, dark-haired beauty certainly makes this history major enjoy class!
She is a very understanding teacher. She makes history fun and shows how it relates to modern events.

Steve Jobs Inspired iPhone Concept
By Shelby White in iPhone February 12, 2013 10:01 am
ADR Studio creates some of the coolest concept graphics. This concept is for a "Steve Jobs inspired" iPhone (5S/6 maybe). It would have a totally glass capacitive screen on a polycarbonate lightweight body with a new core with A6 dual core processor and a 10 megapixel camera. If you look closely you can see "Steve Jobs" inscribed on the back in handwritten text.

Richard Ramirez was destined to die in prison, but not under these circumstances. In the wee hours of June 7, 2013, the so-called "Night Stalker" passed away at Marin General Hospital of natural causes.
The 53-year-old Ramirez had been incarcerated on death row in San Quentin for more than two decades before his death. In 1984 and 1985 he had terrorized the people of California with a 14-month killing spree that went from San Francisco, to the LA area and on to Orange County. On August 30, 1985, Ramirez was seen by a group of citizens while trying to steal a car. The group quickly turned into an angry mob when they recognized Ramirez from his photo. He was chased down, caught and severely beaten. Police had to rescue Ramirez from the mob that likely would have killed him.
In 1989 Ramirez was convicted on 13 counts of murder and on 30 other charges, including rape, burglary and attempted murder. After being sentenced to death, Ramirez told the court: "You don't understand me. You are not expected to. You are not capable of it. I am beyond your experience. I am beyond good and evil."
The State of California reinstated the death penalty in 1978. Though Ramirez was officially sentenced to death 19 times, he is now the 59th death-row inmate to die of natural causes since 1978. Since then only 13 inmates have been executed by that state. Ramirez' death leaves 735 offenders on California's death row.

Dodgers 8, Rays 2: Clayton Kershaw, after receiving six total runs of support in his three previous starts, got eight runs on Sunday night. Kershaw took a no-hitter into the fifth inning and settled for eight strong innings, lowering his major league-leading ERA to 1.88. After their sweep of the Rays, the Dodgers improved to 20-3 since the All-Star break and 37-8 in their last 45 games, the best 45-game stretch in MLB since the 2005 A's.
Clayton Kershaw is 49-0 in his career when he gets four or more runs of support.— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 12, 2013
Nationals 6, Phillies 0: Stephen Strasburg struck out 10 as he pitched his first career shutout. The Nats backed him up with 13 hits, all singles, including three apiece by Jayson Werth and Steve Lombardozzi.
"It's something you do every time out, try to get more outs with less pitches," @stras37 on his 99-pitch, complete game shutout— Washington Nationals (@Nationals) August 12, 2013
Yankees 5, Tigers 4: Mariano Rivera blew his third-straight save opportunity for the first time in his career, but Brett Gardner picked the closer up with a walkoff homer off Jose Veras in the bottom of the ninth:
Alex Rodriguez hit his first homer of the season and drove in Robinson Cano with an RBI-single. Miguel Cabrera hit a solo homer off Rivera, becoming the first player ever to hit home runs in consecutive at-bats against Rivera.
Indians 6, Angels 5: Cleveland rallied from a five-run deficit after being held to one hit through the first five frames. Nick Swisher and Mike Aviles hit a pair of two-run homers in the sixth, while Carlos Santana blasted a solo shot in the seventh to tie the game. Michael Bourn plated the go-ahead run with a single to left field, driving in Lonnie Chisenhall. The win snapped the Indians' six-game losing streak.
Athletics 6, Blue Jays 4: Recently acquired third baseman Alberto Callaspo hit a tie-breaking RBI-double in the eighth inning, helping Oakland manager Bob Melvin earn his 700th career win. Brandon Moss cracked a two-run homer, while Josh Reddick went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks. Grant Balfour surrendered a run in the ninth, but closed out the game for save No. 30.
Royals 4, Red Sox 3: Alex Gordon went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI, helping the Royals clinch their seventh straight series. James Shields turned in a quality start, holding the Red Sox to three runs on seven hits over seven innings. Greg Holland tossed a perfect ninth for his 32nd save, and has now struck out 72 batters in 46 innings pitched.
Braves 9, Marlins 4: Freddie Freeman blasted a three-run homer as the Braves offense came to life after being shutout by the Marlins Saturday night. Jason Heyward paced the offense with four hits, while Evan Gattis collected three. Mike Minor earned his 12th win, allowing four runs on six hits while fanning six over seven innings.
Reds 3, Padres 2 (13): Joey Votto hit a walkoff sacrifice fly, driving in Jack Hannahan.
Xavier Paul tied the game in the eighth, hitting a pinch-hit homer off Ian Kennedy to send the game into extras. Mike Leake only gave up one earned run, scattering six hits over seven frames.
Twins 5, White Sox 2: Kevin Correia pitched seven scoreless innings and was backed by a five-run fifth inning. Brian Dozier hit a three-run home run and Joe Mauer hit a two-run shot in the decisive inning for Minnesota, winners of three of the four games in the weekend series in Chicago.
Rangers 6, Astros 1: Martin Perez threw a four-hitter for his first complete game and came within one out of his first career shutout, before Chris Carter homered with two outs in the ninth inning. Alex Rios went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored for the Rangers, who sit atop the American League West after seven consecutive wins.
Cardinals 8, Cubs 4: Allen Craig reached base five times and Matt Carpenter had three hits, leading the Cardinals to victory to avoid the sweep at home. Edward Mujica pitched the final two innings to convert his first save in 18 days.
Orioles 10, Giants 2: The battle of Halloween colors was won by Baltimore, as the Orioles captured two of three games in the weekend series in San Francisco. Orioles All-Star center fielder Adam Jones hit a three-run home run in the ninth inning, but was peeved by the actions of a fan in the bottom of the frame.
I want to thank whatever slapdick threw that banana towards my direction in CF in the last inning. Way to show ur class u jackass.— Adam Jones (@SimplyAJ10) August 11, 2013
Mariners 2, Brewers 0: Felix Hernandez was dominant with eight scoreless innings, and Justin Smoak homered to lead Seattle to victory. Hernandez, who struck out nine on Sunday, has a 1.95 ERA over his last 12 starts, including 10 starts allowing two or fewer runs.
Mets 9, Diamondbacks 5: Andrew Brown hit a three-run home run for New York, but the story of the game, aside from Arizona falling 7½ games behind the Dodgers in the National League West, was Diamondbacks outfielder Cody Ross dislocating his hip while running to first base.
Rockies 3, Pirates 2: The National League Central leaders were swept over the weekend in Colorado by the Rockies, who had lost nine of their previous 10 games. A throwing error by Pedro Alvarez led to the tying run scoring in the sixth inning, then rookie Nolan Arenado doubled home the winning run in the seventh inning.

Not sure how thoroughly this has been discussed and not sure if it's WAY to early to talk about. Just thought I'd bring a new flavor of Kool-Aid (or not) to the party.
You know the QB story of course this is most obvious. Unheralded kid leading a screen/spread oriented offense. New coach in second year of regime. A 2001 team that was solid on all 3 levels. You had the a point to yardage discrepancy on both offense and defense, as the 2001 Pats ranked in the teens in yards/yars allowed, but 6th in points for and 6th in points allowed. The point to yard statistical analysis has been discussed here as a point of emphasis for the BB disciple.
A team that improved dramatically as the season went along.
The offensive personnel is very similar. A trio of backs with diverse skill-sets and a FB that was part of the short yardage feature attack. (Edge Broncos). A group of undersized receivers that could run routes out of z,x,y. A number one over hyped receiver that was a left-over from the previous regime (edge Broncos)
Two well-above average offensive lines (even).
Two defenses built (and loaded) from the back-up. Pats played a more physical brand on the back-end, we have the better set of athletes. (even) Pats front 7 went on to distinguish themselves, perhaps a better core of talent for that team in '01.
We don't have an Adam Vinatieri.
A team maximizing all of it's parts and a MSM that couldn't figure out how they won games.
The is a much better conference now then it was then, but we've got the talent edge offensively to make it a comparison.
Your thoughts.

So far TV schedules for 5 games have been set. From the official site:Five of UCLA's football games have been selected for television thus far. ABC/ESPN has selected four games and one has been tabbed by Versus.
ESPN will televise UCLA's opener versus Tennessee on September 1 at the Rose Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 pm. ABC will televise UCLA's Sept. 27 home game versus Fresno State, beginning at 12:30 pm.
The game at Arizona State on Nov. 28, a Friday night (6:30 pm PT/7:30 pm MT) has been selected by ESPN2. The regular-season finale against USC at the Rose Bowl on Dec. 6 will be televised nationally by ABC and will kick off at 1:30 pm.
Through its contact with the Mountain West Conference, Versus will televise UCLA's Sept. 13 game at BYU on a national basis, beginning at 12:30 pm PT/1:30 pm MT. Glad to see the exposure on WWL. I hope the BYU game is the only game we have to suffer through on Versus. The quality of their broadcast last year (for Utah and BYU game) was atrocious.

|OFA Home >> Loans >>Educational Loans
Educational Loans
General loan information:
Federal loans are a form of financial aid that must be paid back. Federal Loans are considered financial aid because they are guaranteed and/or regulated by the federal government. Students who wish to borrow money to pay some of the cost of their education may borrow from a federal loan program, such as the Federal Perkins Loan program or the Federal Stafford Loan Program. However, before you decide to borrow, calculate your actual costs, and consider other available aid.
Notes about Borrowing:
You should always apply for any scholarships, fellowships, grants, and work study first, before you borrow. It's important to file the FAFSA early each year (as soon as possible after January 1 each year) so that you can be considered for as much "free" aid as possible before you consider a loan. Loans must be repaid, and it is important that you take time to calculate your expenses and borrow only what you need for your college expenses. If you do borrow through the Stafford, Perkins, or any other loan program, review your accounts regularly (at least twice a year, if not more often). Be aware of any limits to the program that you are borrowing from, and plan your enrollment so that you can complete your degree before your funding runs out. It is important to remember that the Stafford loan program does have limits (see above) and once you reach the limit you may not be eligible for any further funding from the Stafford Program.
National Student Loan Database
You can review your Stafford, Perkins, and Federal Grant history through secure login to the National Student Loan Database at www.nslds.ed.gov This is a site created to collect information from schools and lenders so that your aid can be more efficiently processed. It is a secure site, and only authorized personnel can log on. It is updated every 30-60 days by the schools and lenders, so recent disbursements may not show immediately.
Loan Process:
Borrow only what is necessary to actually pay for your educational expenses
You can refuse awarded loan amounts or request lower awards without penalty.
