The Herald Bulletin
ELWOOD, Ind. —
When he saw the first turbine going up, Terry Williams knew things were going to change.
"I kind of thought it was exciting," said Williams, 63, of Elwood.
There are seven turbines on land belonging to his family members and their corporation, Williams Farms, Inc. The concrete poured for one of those towers was the first in the Wildcat project, he said.
When they were first approached about the turbines, Williams said his dad was dead-set against it. But, the family sat down and talked about how it would affect them in the long-term.
Nowadays, his dad's "one of the biggest supporters," he said.
Williams likes to look at the lease money he gets as a boost to his "retirement (plan) that was totally unexpected."
Williams is a farmer, like his father. He and his brothers farm corn and soybeans on 1,600 acres owned or rented by their family. He says it hurts to see the damage the trucks and other construction equipment do to the land when it's muddy.
"We're close to the land," Williams said. "But damage is temporary. It'll heal itself."
Williams, a recreational pilot, says he also has to fly higher now that there are tower-obstacles in his way.
But he can get over all that, if, in the long run, it'll help the local economy and the environment, he said.
"We (as a country) need to be more energy conscious," he said. "Here we are, going to be part of the solution."

The St. Louis Cardinals are unlikely to end their midseason activity with Brian Fuentes.

The St. Louis Cardinals have been busy bargain hunting as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches, but general manager John Mozeliak recently reiterated that the team is not close to completing any deal. Although the Arizona Diamondbacks dispatched a scout to follow the Cardinals earlier in the week, Mozeliak has told Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he's "not finding the right fit out there right now." Here is a bit of what he had to say, as reported by Goold:
"We've kicked the tires," Mozeliak said. "It's just we're not finding the right fit out there right now."
The cost of several available starters, like Tampa Bay righty James Shields, has proved to be unappealing for the Cardinals.
Mozeliak called the market "fluid." He added that the team had nothing "going."
Things could certainly change before the trade deadline passes at 3 p.m. CT, but it looks like there won't be any blockbuster moves for the Cardinals.

The Los Angeles Dodgers grabbed one of the available closers at the MLB Trade Deadline, taking Brandon League from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for prospects Leon Landry and Logan Bawcom. Leon Landry, a third-rounder back in the 2010 MLB Draft, has put up big numbers in the hitter-friendly California League, hitting .328/.358/.559 with 26 doubles and 15 triples after a disappointing 2011 season. He'll need to work on his plate discipline to reach the major leagues, but his speed-based game will be a good fit at hitter-throttling Safeco Field; Bawcom, a 17th-rounder in the same draft, is a AA reliever with impresssive strikeout rates.
It's a good haul for the Mariners, and a lot to give up for a relief pitcher with low strikeout rates in his three seasons in Seattle. The St. Louis Cardinals were reportedly interested in League, but if Landry and Bawcom were the price they can be forgiven for passing on him. League, who has 54 career saves across an MLB career that began in 2004, will be a free agent after the season.
The Mariners, who've already traded Ichiro Suzuki, are likely to shop Jason Vargas and some additional relievers as the trade deadline nears. For more coverage all day, stay tuned to SB Nation St. Louis's MLB Trade Deadline storystream.
Jake Westbrook is signed with the St. Louis Cardinals through the 2012 season, but there is a mutual option on his contract for 2013, and according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Westbrook plans to exercise his half of the option.
Westbrook fully intends on exercising his half of mutual option for '13. Has no idea what Cardinals intend to do. #stlcards— Joe Strauss (@JoeStrauss) July 30, 2012
Westbrook's salary for next season would be a rather reasonable $8.5 million, and the Cardinals would owe him a $1 million buyout if they declined their half of the option. Westbrook has been fantastic this year, putting up a 3.61 ERA and 1.28 WHIP that are both nearly career highs.

The St. Louis Cardinals may stay quiet at the trade deadline this year, and one of the reasons why could be the proximity to the majors of top hitting prospect Oscar Taveras. Taveras has been tearing through Double-A this year, hitting .324/.385/.578 with 19 homers and 75 runs batted in and is considered by the industry to be one of the absolute best hitting prospects in the minor leagues.
The Cardinals have had issues in centerfield this season, and are reportedly discussing bringing Taveras up to the majors.
Strauss: I do think bringing Oscar Taveras up is on the table. I know it's being talked about internally.— Tim McKernan (@tmckernan) July 30, 2012
Jon Jay started off the year on fire, but sat out over a month due to injury and has struggled mightily since returning. His replacements have been inadequate, and though the team can slide Carlos Beltran over to center, that's not his ideal position. If the Cardinals do call Taveras up, it's highly unlikely that he would assume a starting role, but he could be a needed shot in the arm in center.

The Seattle Mariners would like to trade for a controllable bat this summer, and they've targeted the St. Louis Cardinals' Allen Craig as one possible option, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. The Mariners are in last place in the AL West, but they're looking for a hitter that can improve their lineup over the next few seasons.
Craig would presumably qualify, as the 27-year-old has hit .295/.361/.573 with 15 homers in 255 plate appearances with St. Louis this season. It's not a big fluke, either, as he's now compiled a .304/.362/.564 line with 33 doubles and 26 homers over 474 PA's in the big leagues since the beginning of last season.
Craig is the kind of long-term asset that Seattle appears to be seeking, too, as he'll be under team control until 2016. The Mariners are trying to build a new lineup around Jesus Montero, Dustin Ackley, Kyle Seager and company, but they still have the worst run-scoring offense in the AL so far this season.

The St. Louis Cardinals have been able to count on their offense for the entire 2012 season -- they've consistently held rankings in the top-5 overall for runs scored, batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage -- but pitching has been a different story. Injuries and uneven performances in the pitching rotation and bullpen have caused some concerns over the course of the year, but the month of July has been a good one for St. Louis pitchers. For that reason, don't expect Cardinals GM John Mozeliak to trade for big name pitchers before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
The ERA of the starting staff is just 2.35 for the month of July and Jaime Garcia is set to return soon, so Mozeliak recently told Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com that the team isn't likely to grab a big pitching name on the trade market:
"Our starters have been great," Mozeliak said last week. "I think clearly it takes a little pressure off, in terms of feeling like we have to do something. If you were to go after a starter, who are you really bouncing out? And how are you improving? That's why I don't think the urgency is quite there for rotational help as maybe it was, say, three or four weeks ago."

The St. Louis Cardinals appear less likely than before to seek out pitching help, thanks to strong performances recently from all five starters and a suddenly hot bullpen, but that's not pulled them out of the trade rumors picture entirely—they still have enough prospects around to throw a haymaker ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, if a way of improving this team emerges. One vector for improvement: Second base in particular and the middle infield in general, which is currently ill-prepared for an injury to the notably injury-prone Rafael Furcal. Stephen Drew and Yunel Escobar are two shortstops who could solve that problem fast, and each is on the trading block.
Each also has his own problems to deal with. Drew has struggled with injuries himself, missing half of 2011 and much of 2012 so far with a broken ankle. J.D. Drew's younger brother has never quite turned into the star many expected him to be, but he's a solidly average shortstop with a bat that falls somewhere between average and above-average, which makes him a very valuable player if he can stay on both feet for the rest of the year. 29 years old, he's got a $10 million mutual option with a $1.35 million buyout for 2013 before becoming a free agent.
Yunel Escobar, meanwhile, has his reputation as a clubhouse pariah to deal with—it followed him from Atlanta, where he was a highly touted young shortstop, to the Toronto Blue Jays, where his bat has collapsed in 2012 after a solid 2011. He's also 29, and at his best he's probably a step better than Drew, with the same bat and better defense. But he's rarely been at his best, lately, and now two teams have been willing to deal him on the cheap to get rid of him.
Neither of these players is a star, but either of them would make an interesting bargain acquisition; if the Cardinals grabbed one he would likely have to move to second base, but he could also count on being the backup shortstop and Furcal's likely replacement in 2014.
Just when you thought it was safe to be a member of the St. Louis Cardinals rotation: Post-Dispatch rumor maven Joe Strauss, appearing on Tim McKernan's ITD Morning After show on KFNS, returned Shelby Miller trade rumors to their place of prominence in the Cardinals' trade deadline discussions by suggesting a specific name in return: James Shields, of the Tampa Bay Rays. Here's 140 characters, give or take, from McKernan's tweeted summary of the interview:
Strauss on if Shelby Miller for Shields is real: Miller is available. I think the Cardinals would rather trade Miller than Carlos Martinez.— Tim McKernan (@tmckernan) July 26, 2012
James Shields is an interesting-enough name that even those of us who remain firm believers in Shelby Miller's future have to take notice when it comes up. At 30 years old he's proved remarkably durable, put together some fine seasons in the middle of Tampa's famous rotation, and, while he was at it, given his team two option years, in 2013 and 2014, for a total of $21 million.
He's having a rough season now, but his peripherals are nearly as good as usual; his 3.18 strikeout-to-walk ratio is more likely to carry forward than the .339 BAbip. The main thing this trade has to recommend it, however, is that he wouldn't just be a 2012 rental.
One San Diego Padres trade rumor down, one more to go--less than a week after threatening to keep both of their veteran trading chits around for seasons to come Josh Byrnes and the Padres announced they were signing Carlos Quentin, the slugging-outfielder piece of the equation, to a three year deal worth at least $27 million. The merits of that deal aside--I'm not sure I get it--that leaves us to wonder whether Huston Street, their coveted closer, left on the trading block.
Don't get me wrong--as a St. Louis Cardinals fan and a charter member of the relievers-are-overrated club, I kind of hope he isn't. But I was also, until the Padres really did sign Quentin, convinced he had to be; there was simply no reason for the Padres to keep Street when they could have turned some other team's panic into a quick prospect or two.
Now, though--well, anything could happen. So if this whole Carlos Quentin thing was just really expensive cover for their true intentions about Street--well, score one pyrrhic victory for them against the rumor-industrial complex, I guess.
For a while, there, trade rumors about the St. Louis Cardinals had begun to center around Ryan Dempster, the Chicago Cubs starter whose pending free agency and general cromulence suited an unstable Cardinals rotation just fine. Now, though, after solid outings from Jake Westbrook and Joe Kelly at the back of the rotation and a return to form from first-half rock Lance Lynn, it looks like the Cardinals' trade deadline focus will return to the bullpen.
And bullpen trades, of course, are a much more confusing story. Unless they go for the top-of-the-line model and pony up the prospects for Huston Street it's almost impossible to say just who or what they'll land on as the salve for their unstable relievers. The Houston Astros, under former Cardinals farm guru Jeff Luhnow, just unloaded both Brandon Lyon and Brett Myers without drawing interest from John Mozeliak, but since they're in the bullpen middle-class it's uncertain whether they were too poor or too rich for Mozeliak's blood.
(Though if they were too rich, I'm not sure what the Cardinals will be able to do besides signing more Brian Fuentes types.)
Right now, at least two members of the Chicago Cubs' rotation are worth more to them as the subject of swirling MLB trade rumors than they are as starting pitchers. Ryan Dempster, shipped frequently with the St. Louis Cardinals, started on Friday and won his first game for them... while with the Cubs. Matt Garza, the big ticket, started yesterday... and left after three innings with an injury in what turned, eventually, into a 12-run bloodbath.
Luckily for the Cubs, who would suddenly have found themselves with an untradeable 28-year-old starter on their hands, the injury wasn't any more serious than a muscle cramp. So if the right-hander is really the object of the Los Angeles Dodgers' affections--it's been suggested that they'd rather have him than Dempster because he's under team control for another year--the Cubs can go back to counting their prospects before they've hatched.
They've already lost Ryan Dempster's scoreless innings streak in this weekend set; they can hardly afford for their best assets to depreciate some more.
Here's the thing about the MLB rumor mill: It spins for a while, on multiple wheels like a Mayan calendar, until two of them catch and a team is connected to one Perfect Trade Target almost exclusively for a while. That's happened to the St. Louis Cardinals, and the player, in this particularly odd case, is in division: The Chicago Cubs' Ryan Dempster, who's gotten attention from nearly every playoff-aimed team in baseball.
And for good reason: Dempster, in the midst of a 33-inning scoreless streak, is more affordable than the top rentals on the market, but he's having a great year and has been, as a Cub, a startlingly consistent member of the rotation.
It was a surprise, initially, coming from the 35-year-old, who began his career as an injury-prone superprospect and spent some time as a closer, but it's been four-and-a-half years, now, since he ruturned to the rotation, during which he's posted a 3.61 ERA over more than 900 innings.
The Cardinals definitely have the young pitching the Cubs want in return--the question is whether they want to give up enough of it to make the trade happen. For now, at least, the rumor-driven press seems to like the possibility.
The Chicago Cubs are definitely shopping veteran pitcher Ryan Dempster as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches, and it appears the St. Louis Cardinals are getting in on the talks. Dan Moore of SB Nation St. Louis laid out why Dempster and St. Louis would be a good fit on Wednesday, and then on Thursday Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com reported that a major league source informed him the Cardinals "have jumped into the picture in recent days" with the Dempster trade talks.
Here is a bit more from what Dan Moore had to say about a potential deal for Ryan Dempster:
Dempster, in the last year, of a somehow-appropriate four year, $52 million deal, is not going to be a bargain with these numbers, but compared to Cole Hamels and Zack Greinke he represents a more classic one-year-rental, and will be priced appropriately. If the Cardinals traded some B prospects for him (Zack Cox and a starter who's neither Shelby Miller nor Carlos Martinez nor Tyrell Jenkins?) had everything fall their way, a guy like Dempster could bump Joe Kelly into the bullpen for a season, strengthening both spots, without figuring into their 2013 plans.
Theo Epstein recently divulged that the Cubs are looking to add pitching prospects to the system, so the Cardinals could be the perfect match.

St. Louis Cardinals fans with a minor league bent got nervous Tuesday when a Ken Rosenthal-sourced MLB trade rumor included Tyrell Jenkins, one of their clutch of top pitching prospects, in a possible trade with the Seattle Mariners. The real concern is more Rosenthal's speculation--that the Cardinals would be interested in Mariners left-hander Jason Vargas--than his reporting, that the Mariners scouted Jenkins.
Vargas, 29, is 9-7, but his peripherals are unimpressive; his strikeout rate is below six per nine innings, and he's somehow allowed 1.2 home runs per nine innings in four years at the Mariners' cavernous Safeco Field. Jenkins, 19, is raw, but progressing at a solid clip; already in the Midwest League at 19, Jenkins has flashed a strikeout an inning while showing solid control for a teenager. He was drafted as a supplemental first-rounder back in 2010, with the Cardinals pursuing him aggressively and signing him away from a college football commitment.
In short: He's the kind of pitcher you might trade for short-term help, but he's not the kind of pitcher you might trade for Jason Vargas. John Mozeliak's closeness to the player-development side of the Cardinals has me thinking, at this juncture, that the connection is more likely to be Rosenthal's mistake than the Cardinals'.
I'm sorry, proverbial ladies: There isn't enough Huston Street to go around. Every year around this time a relief pitcher becomes every contending team's ideal quick fix, and articles run across America suggesting that the one thing keeping the hometown nine from the World Series is that they don't have a Proven Closer like--well, like Huston Street, this year. The St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets are the most outspoken candidates for a closer transplant this year, but they're far from the only teams whose fans have declared them interested.
Just look up "Huston Street" on your favorite news engine. Go ahead, I'll wait. From blogs, newspapers, and news sites I count desire from the Cardinals, the Mets, and the Washington Nationals. You could find more if you looked at the team blogs themselves.
It's all for naught, but at least their desire makes sense this year--Huston Street is considerably better than last year's global trade candidate, Heath Bell. The question is whether the Cardinals, or any other team, would want to part with the prospects that the second half of Street's Petco-inspired career year would seem to require in return.
Saturday afternoon the St. Louis Cardinals officially signed Brian Fuentes, sending the former All-Star to the minor leagues in preparation for a late-July trip to the major league bullpen. That ended a few weeks of speculation, and the life of a specific and long-lasting MLB rumor, but I doubt it's the end of the Cardinals' hunt for veteran bullpen help. Unless Fernando Salas or Maikel Cleto is able to emerge soon as the third reliable right-hander they need, expect the Cardinals to continue to sniff around any available relievers as the trade deadline nears--even Padres closer Huston Street.
With Kyle McClellan out for the season following a shoulder injury, the Cardinals no longer have even the illusion of help on the way, and the walk-off home run Victor Marte gave up Saturday against the Reds could prove an effective, if over-simplified, example of the dangers of relying on free talent.
One thing to keep in mind: The Cardinals won't necessarily attempt to help their bullpen by acquiring a reliever. Trading for a starter like Bartolo Colon and then moving mid-90s sinkerball-throwing rookie Joe Kelly into the bullpen would be another way of improving the pen while also making up the rotation depth they lost when Chris Carpenter's rehab failed.
Oddly enough, it seems like Brian Fuentes, late of the Oakland Athletics, was more popular as an MLB rumors target when the interested team would have had to trade Oakland a prospect. Now that he's been released, and the St. Louis Cardinals or anybody else could get him for the league minimum and a few well-targeted compliments, teams have been backing out of the rumor mill one after the other.
Wednesday it was reported that the Dodgers were interested in a LOOGY, but not Fuentes; now someone's heard the same thing about the Angels.
The Cardinals, for their part, haven't shown interest as such--but at this point, just not saying that Brian Fuentes sucks and you hate him amounts to interest, so far as I can tell. The former closer--he's got 204 career saves, in case you were wondering--is probably done, but left-handed relievers as a class are so unpredictable and so generally unexciting that I'm surprised teams are singling him out for disapproval among the tens of unpleasant options available to bullpen stragglers.
The St. Louis Cardinals are in on multiple MLB trade rumors, since they could use--depending on who you talk to--a relief pitcher, a starter, or a second baseman, and since it's easy to imagine them going in multiple directions with each problem. But Huston Street, the San Diego Padres' closer, has long been the going-all-in option at the top of the reliever-rumors totem pole. So how good does that make him?
The cop-out answer is not as good as he's been. Street's numbers are tough to parse, since he spent 2011 giving up a lot of home runs in Coors Field and has spent 2012 giving up no home runs at all at Petco Park.
But assuming that neither stop is particularly valuable as a data point--and that he won't maintain a sub-2.00 ERA wherever he ends up after the trade deadline--Street actually has an easy-to-discern skill-set, one that will be familiar to Cardinals fans who've watched Chris Carpenter for parts of the last eight years. Street has a not-quite-elite strikeout rate for a reliever, and he combines it with excellent control.
It's actually reminiscent of Jason Motte at his best, though it's hard to imagine two closers with less in common. What makes Street particularly valuable is that, like few other relief pitchers this side of Mariano Rivera, he's been able to repeat his trick year after year. I'm not sure if it'll be enough for the Padres to pull the trigger, but I can imagine these Cardinals paying a lot for his level of consistency.
I can't say the St. Louis Cardinals won't trade Shelby Miller, as rumored recently, because they sold incredibly low on a former top prospect just last year, when they dealt Colby Rasmus for Octavio Dotel and Edwin Jackson. That one worked out, though I can't quite give John Mozeliak credit for the way it did. But unless their potential trading partners aren't phased by Miller's rough introduction to the Pacific Coast League--he's walked 43 and allowed 17 home runs in 77 innings with Memphis--I can't imagine the Cardinals will be getting top dollar for a player who's been their top prospect for three years now.
Unless he's the linchpin to a major deal--for Zack Greinke, say, as the precursor to a Matt Holliday-style contract extension--the Cardinals would be trading years of value for a few months of a player near the front of the rotation. Miller's a step away from the major leagues with a strikeout rate over 10 per nine innings; even if he's not an ace, he seems likely to be a valuable starting pitcher on the cheap. Oh, and he's 21.
That's a lot to give away for this year's Edwin Jackson, especially now that draft compensation is no longer available for players acquired in midseason. At this point I'd rather see the Cardinals bring Miller up as a reliever for the rest of the season than watch them trade him for anything less than a clear number one.
The St. Louis Cardinals have been hit hard by injuries in 2012, and even general manager John Mozeliak admitted that his team has a need for pitching help going into the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Acquiring a top starter would allow St. Louis to move Joe Kelly or Lance Lynn into the bullpen, but good pitching never comes cheap on the MLB trade market.
Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that top prospect Shelby Miller may no longer be untouchable in trade talks now that Miller has stumbled a bit in Triple-A.
For the first time the organization might be willing to include elite prospect Shelby Miller in trade talks. Miller, 21, has labored at Triple-A Memphis this season while others, such as Kelly, Trevor Rosenthal, Carlos Martinez and Tyrell Jenkins continue to advance.
Miller, the team's first-round selection from the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft, entered the season ranked as the No. 8 overall prospect by Baseball America. He has posted a 6.17 ERA and a 4-8 record over 77.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira, at age 104, is still making films. He is noted as being the only filmmaker whose career has spanned from the silent era through to the digital revolution. He's come a long way since his directorial debut in 1931, and now as part of MUBI's rotating repertoire of films, his 64-minute feature film from 2009, Eccentricities of a Blonde-Haired Girl, is available to stream online until April 19th. Hit the jump for more info, below:
Adapted from a 19th century novella by Eça de Queiroz, Eccentricities of a Blonde-Haired Girl is the story of an ill-fated romance between a young accountant and a mysterious woman he spies through his window.
I find it fascinating to consider the amount of willpower, spark, and energy it must take to make on average one film a year, even past the age of 100. That's like Woody Allen on crack! In my book, just in terms of sheer output, Oliveira's work deserves a look. There's somewhat of a myth of the 'perfect filmography' model that aspiring filmmakers look up to; the vague goal to succeed with your first film, to come bursting strong right out of the gates — but I'm not necessarily a subscriber of that. Create, and keep creating, and that's what Oliveira's track record shows us. What keeps him going?
There is no secret – it is work! It is doing something, it is a natural impulsion. You see, nature has given man hunger and this forces him to work, otherwise he wouldn't do anything. We all get hungry, no matter what age you are. Therefore the elderly are not distinguished from the young because they are both hungry.
Spoken like a true Centenarian, he continues on to say:
Standing still is to die; that is the point. The worst thing would be to do nothing, to be scared of acting. It would be a mistake to stand still, to not try something.

For someone who is at the beginning of a journey, that is, the lifelong journey of filmmaking, it's pretty mind-blowing and inspiring to see someone working this far past middle age, senility, and beyond. Manoel de Oliveira is currently working on his 60th film, The Church of the Devil.

As a fun fact, Oliveira stated once he loves vegetable soup and fish soup, so maybe the secret to longevity and hunger for making movies starts also with a good diet ;)
(On the first line, there's a common error with a word… it's "Portuguese", not "Portugese" …)
Fixed, thanks, and you're too right about good diet. He also said: "Whether we like it or not, it (death) will come one day, but generally people are not in a hurry and I personally have never been in a hurry in my life, this is perhaps why I reached this age."

"so maybe the secret to longevity and hunger for making movies starts also with a good diet"
that´s true, also he used to practice lots of sports too. Another fun fact is that he started making cinema, stop to work in family bussiness and return later in life to cinema.
In portugal he is not praised to much (now that´s changing), but in some other europeans countries and in brazil he is considered a giant next to raul ruiz and other great singular filmmakers.
His cinema is unique, slow paced, a very personal way of playing with the actors, a very conscious and economical use of the camera too. Very odd, for some, to our actual cinematic grammar. Sure not a filmmaker for everyone, and sure not a filmmaker for those that love basicaly the hollywood way of making movies (not complaining here, I love all kind of cinema, from commercial to authoral to experimental, since it´s sincere).
here one amazing actor, John Malkovich, who worked with both, ruiz and oliveira, talking about them:
He's not just Portuguese born, he lives and works in Portugal, fyi.
Yeah I guess I could just simplify and say Portuguese director!
john jeffreys on 03.27.13 @ 11:18PM
I was gonna make a snarky comment about how many assistant directors he has to compensate for his senility, but I'm better than that.
I'm not his greatest fan, but he is an energetic old man. One of his ADs was my teacher in film school, and going by his stories, he was indeed a one AD man (though that would've been back in his 60s and 70s).
Bernardo on 03.28.13 @ 6:30PM
I've been watching his movies for years. Some of them are brilliant. He is for Portugal what Peter Jackson is for New Zealand. He is one of the most interesting film makers in Portugal. I hope he keeps making films for a lot more years to come. Respect.

ATLANTA -- The Jackson family civil war is over for now. Longtime pupil Rashad Evans won't be heading back to Albuquerque anytime soon, but there are signs that healing between the two sides has already begun.
After ripping his former coach Greg Jackson in public for the decision to accept Jon Jones on his team -- a decision that ultimately led to Evans leaving the team -- Evans lost to Jon Jones at UFC 145. But among the first to console him for the defeat was Jackson.
The two shared a moment after the fight which was not caught on camera, with Jackson walking over and whispering something in his former champion's ear, and Evans' seemingly accepting the peace offering.
The third member of the messy situation, Jones, more publicly offered an olive branch to Evans both before and after the fight. Less than an hour after it finished, he said that he hopes to regain Evans' friendship after over a year as bitter enemies.
"I still have a lot of thinking to do with the whole situation, but one thing I do want to get out of this is to rekindle a respect level and some type of communication with Rashad," he said. "Hopefully we can do that in private and work on that in the future. I do have tons of respect for Rashad, and I know he does respect me to some degree. There's a lot of emotion between us that can lead to a friendship."
Evans didn't shut the door on it, saying he would need a while to let the whole situation sink in.
"I don't know," he said. "It takes some time for the lessons you learn in the situation to kick in. But like Jon was saying, you never know what happens in future. We were friends before, so you never know what could happen. We got some cool experiences we shared together. We'll see. We'll probably compete again one of these days, so we'll keep it on a level where we can say 'What's up' but beat the hell out of each other when we have to."
MMA doesn't necessarily need sentimental endings to rivalries, but it's nice to hear the bad blood may be a thing of the past.
Other UFC 145 thoughts…
- Jones often gets accused of arrogance, but he showed some candid vulnerability in the moments after the fight when he admitted that he had some actual fear about engaging Evans, which led to uncertainty about his approach to fight.
"I think i was a little intimidated at some points to just believe in my ability, speed and coordination. As a result, I didn't fight as clean as I would have liked to."
- Travis Browne is becoming quite a beast. The 6-foot-7, 255-pounder smashed Chad Griggs before submitting him. It was an impressive performance, even in a fight he was supposed to win. Browne has showed an ability to integrate his impressive athleticism to go with his big power, and he's going to be a tough out as he continues to ascend up the UFC's heavyweight ladder.
Maybe he'll get a chance to impress in the near future. UFC 146 has an empty slot for a heavyweight, and when asked if he'd be willing to fill it on short notice, he didn't hesitate.
"I'm ready," he said.
- With his back against the wall, Ben Rothwell delivered. After losing two of his last three, Rothwell probably had his UFC career on the line against Brendan Schaub. In fact, he might have had his entire career on the line, as he said he might have retired with a loss. Instead, he came into the fight in the best physical condition he's been in years, withstood an early barrage, and finished Schaub early.
"It was all or nothing," he said. "I said it before the fight, that my first three performance in UFC -- one of them being a win -- were all very disappointing. I knew that I had so much more to show. I'm just very thankful that Dana White and Joe Silva were patient with me. [Saturday], they got to see why they brought me to the UFC."
It may be hard to believe, but at 30 years old, Rothwell is only a year older than Schaub.
- UFC 146 was a youth movement. Aside from 24-year-old Jones winning, 22-year-old Rory MacDonald and 21-year old Michael McDonald smashed their way to impressive victories over Che Mills and Miguel Torres, respectively.
Rory is certainly a contender to watch at 170 while Michael could just be a win or so away from getting a bantamweight title shot.
- It appears Torres' run as one of the bantamweight division's best may have hit its end. He was violently knocked out, and couldn't walk out of the octagon on his own, requiring his cornermen to walk back to the locker room. The 31-year-old is just 3-3 in his last six fights, and he's been KO'd twice. It would be a long climb back to the top for him.
- UFC 145's feel-good story has to go to Eddie Yagin. The 33-year-old has been fairly unheralded throughout his career, but earned the biggest win of his life in a split-decision over former featherweight top contender Hominick. Yagin dropped Hominick twice during the fight, nearly finishing him before settling for a decision. He may be nowhere near the top 10, but he certainly created a moment he could savor no matter what his future holds.

I've been scrambling to find a replacement player, but I haven't been able to, and I guess this is my last resort. If you have an account on Playground, and you can make picks on Playground, then you be on the team. Seriously, if you can make picks ands score more than zero points, you're an upgrade.
So, if you ever wanted to be under someone named DiscoandHerpes, or apart of a team called the Dogcunt Sklarts, then now is your chance. If you want in, hit up Kater (firstname.lastname@example.com) and maybe he'll sort it out. Or if you want to just send him pictures of cats, that's cool too.
Also, I have a crazy high fever, so I'm going to bed.

Sinus Infection vs. Colds or Allergies
The above-mentioned symptoms of sinus infection are distinguished from those experienced during the onset of a common cold or an allergy attack. Common cold sufferers do not experience pain in the upper teeth, and it is marked occasionally by sneezing, coughing and nasal congestion. Meanwhile, allergy symptoms are marked by sneezing, coughing and nasal congestion with no pain experienced.
What Is a Sinus Infection?
A sinus infection or sinusitis is basically an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. The two kinds of sinus infections are either acute or chronic. Acute sinusitis is a sudden onset of a sinus infection that lasts less than eight weeks or two months, while chronic sinusitis is a long-term sinus infection, which lasts more than eight weeks and is experienced at least four times in a given year.
Acute bacterial sinusitis is the result of a bacterial infection of the sinus cavities, while chronic sinusitis is a sinus infection that is frequent and lasts more than three months.
Sinus Infection Treatment
To alleviate the pain and discomfort that accompany sinus infections, decongestants are often prescribed in the form of nasal sprays, drops or pills. However, to treat the infection itself, antibiotics are prescribed. If the sinus infection is chronic, intensive antibiotic therapy is then required.

Anger as non-executive Harrow Borough Council cabinet roles 'removed'
Updated 10:55am Wednesday 11th June 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
The leader of Harrow's Conservatives has attacked Labour for the removal of non-executive members on the council cabinet.
Earlier today Labour leader David Perry announced his new cabinet which will be appointed after a meeting of Harrow Borough Council on Thursday.
However he and his group have been attacked for apparently not allowing non-executive members from the opposition parties to sit on the cabinet.
Leader of the Tory group Susan Hall said: "I'm pleased to see Labour have continued the Conservative group's policy of having a separate portfolio holder for health, given the importance of looking after the well-being of Harrow's residents.
"However, it's disgraceful that Labour have gone back on their word and intend to remove the non-executive councillors from cabinet, giving the opposition far less opportunity to question and scrutinise the administration.
"It suggests Labour are either running scared or already have something to hide."
The role of non-executive cabinet members was introduced last year by then ruling Independent Labour group leader Thaya Idaikkadar.
However in response leader of the Labour group David Perry said: "Cllr Hall is whipping up a storm in a tea-cup with this issue.
"Therefore, in order to clarify the facts, the Labour Administration has not deleted the post of non-executive members to cabinet.
"We have made a commitment that the voluntary sector should form part of the scrutiny of cabinet and I shall be personally leading on this review, this also includes opposition councillors.
"The Labour administration has taken the immediate decision to reduce the paid allowances for this position, which was disgracefully increased last year, in a move which was supported by the Conservative leader Susan Hall following an agreed backroom deal with some former Independent councillors."

Cllr Susan Hall says...
Tomorrow, your party plan to change the Council's rules so you are no longer obligated to have opposition councillors in non-executive positions on Cabinet. We have also been told by your Deputy Leader that you have no plans to appoint any opposition councillors onto Cabinet at this time, so you're deleting the role in all but name. And I'm amazed you have the time to lead the review into anything, given as far as I'm aware the only time you've been in the Civic Centre since the election was to have your Cabinet photo taken.
As for your clumsy attempt to shoehorn in a mention of the allowance - that's rich talk from the man who is also changing the rules to give higher allowances to his own councillors. And as much as you continue to insist there were any backroom deals during our last administration, there weren't. In fact the only deals I thought existed were the ones we had with you about non-executive positions and scrutiny of the administration, but you're now backing out of those.
So far from a storm in a tea cup - what's actually happening is Labour aren't even in administration yet, and they're already breaking promises all over the place.

It is a share waste of public money to appoint and pay non-voting councillors from the opposition to the cabinet which only provides the opposition opportunities to show off in public.
I congratulate Cllr Perry and the Labour group in a wise step to remove a move which was supported by the Conservative leader Susan Hall following an agreed backroom deal with some former Independent councillors.
I also congratulate Cllr Hall for being Politically Immature which showed during its short-lived council administration. What she did was to create a 'culture of fear' at the civic centre, marked by the resignation of the chief executive, followed by some key directors leaving – officers only appeared to be able to do what they were told to do.

If you know me, you know I can't get enough of the anthocyanin free plants! Here are a few up and coming green seedlings. Some are a result of breeding with anthocyanin free recessive plants (those plants with that hidden mutation that suppresses anthocyanin production) with other AF plants. Others are just a result of straight AF breeding lines. Fun stuff!
Sarracenia (leucophylla x purpurea heterophylla) x leucophylla AF
The parentage of this plant consisted of one AF recessive plant, and one AF plant. One of the surviving seedlings from this cross turned out to be AF, while the other clearly exhibits the presence of anthocyanin.
Sarracenia (rubra ssp. jonesii AF x minor var. okefenokeensis)
x "Green Monster"
The parentage of this cross also consists of one AF recessive parent, and one pure AF plant. I've had a couple plants sprout from this batch, but this was the only survivor. I'm glad it turned out to be AF.
Sarracenia mitchelliana AF x "Green Monster"
This cross uses pure AF parentage – S. mitchelliana AF and S. "Green Monster" which is another anthocyanin free plant.
Sarracenia moorei, AF
S. leucophylla AF X S. flava 'suspicion'
Both parents of this cross are AF resulting in AF progeny.

Pulver beat Coty Wheeler by second-round technical knockout at the MMA Fight Pit: Genesis event in Albuquerque. For Pulver, it was just his third win in his last 10 fights, and although he didn't look great inside the cage, it was nice for fans of Pulver to see him win at all: After Pulver exited the WEC on a five-fight losing streak last year, some people thought they'd never see him win a fight again.
The fight itself was a strange one, marked by Pulver hurting Wheeler on the feet but failing to follow up. Pulver knocked Wheeler down with a big left hand in the first round and appeared to have Wheeler hurting and in big trouble, but Pulver was hesitant to engage on the ground and risk getting submitted, and so he let Wheeler up, and Wheeler was able to survive the round. In the second round it happened again: Pulver knocked Wheeler down and just stood there, as if he was expecting the referee to stop the fight even though Wheeler wasn't out.
However, after Wheeler got up Pulver continued hurting him on the feet, and eventually after he knocked Wheeler down again, the referee stepped in to stop the fight and hand Pulver the TKO victory.
MMA Fight Pit announcer Jason Chambers said after Pulver's victory that it "could be the rebirth of Jens Pulver." That, however, is overly optimistic: At age 36, Pulver is past the point where he's going to have a rebirth.
But at least Pulver got a win. For Pulver, that represents progress.

Halloween Hair and Makeup Tips: "Regis and Kelly" Pros Tell All!
Regis and Kelly as Harry Potter and Hermione Granger
MICHELLE: I applied very little foundation for a fresh pure look. The cheeks were flushed by adding a little gel blusher that I thinned out with moisturizer. I added lip stain to a clear lip balm so the lips look just bitten.
DIANE: Poor Harry Potter's disheveled look... I took a dark, short wig and cut it with a straight razor to give it a jagged, unkempt look. I misted the wig with some water, scrunched it and let it air dry. For Hermione I used a small, barrel curling iron on Kelly's brown wig.

Nugenix Reviews
About Nugenix
Testosterone is a hormone that naturally declines with age. For men, the decrease of this hormone in their body can cause major changes in their overall well-being. Typically these levels start to decrease at around the age of 30 and it is a normal part of the biological aging process.
Nugenix is a product that was created to address men's decreasing testosterone levels. It is a male enhancement ingestible supplement used to form lean muscle mass, increase libido and increase stamina, it should not be taken women. The capsules are composed of a propriety blend of vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts; the main ingredient is Testofen which contains 50% Fenuside from the Fenugreek plant.
GNC makes Nugenix so it is sold at their physical locations or online at the GNC website or directly on the Nugenix website. A bottle of Nugenix contains 90 capsules and costs $75.00 for this one month supply. The company offers a 30 day money back guarantee; the even accept empty bottles for a full refund.
If you go through the Nugenix website you may be eligible for a 14 day free sample bottle. If you qualify, you must provide a credit card payment for the $4.95 shipping and handling fee. If you do not cancel the automatic shipment program that begins 18 days after you sign up for the trial, you will be charged $75.00 each month for a new supply.
Some side effects may occur when taking any testosterone boosting supplements, especially if they are taken in excess or if you are already at a healthy level of testosterone. Two side effects that you may not physically feel is the decrease of glucose in the blood stream and change in the production of thyroid hormones. Other side effects physically felt are a racing heartbeat and rapid breathing.
Some men submitted reviews online claiming that Nugenix did not work. These men felt that the supplement was only providing a feeling similar to that of what one would experience with increased testosterone levels. Other men felt the pills were overpriced and were not worth the money for the minimal results they got out of the product.
Since there have been no clinical studies for Nugenix, there are no specified time periods in which one could expect to start seeing results. Nugenix is a temporary solution to help men with low testosterone levels and the company believes that it will make men feel more confident and full of life.
Always consult a physician before taking supplements that affect hormones. A simple blood test can tell you where your levels are at. A doctor may be able to prescribe something that is less expensive or even covered by insurance. It is also safer for a doctor to regulate your hormones because they can monitor you and keep your levels stable.

The free offer is an excuse to get your ATM or credit card number. Then, every month the company mails you a full bottle and takes $55 out of your account. I could never find this agreement in the fine print, but customer service says its there.
"Yes" a simple blood test will tell you about your Testosterone level. Then why has Nugenix not run such tests! Obviously this is a scam or else this company could easily run clinical tests!
Wanna know what works?
I'll tell you what works. GO TO A MEDICAL DOCTOR!! Get your blood work done, including testosterone levels. If it's low your doctor can and will prescribe testosterone replacement patches or gel. They contain the real deal and they WORK. Plain and simple.
Forget about wasting your money on this New-Genie X with fenuside . As with most (if not all) supplements, this too, is a scam. Just because you feel like a loser doesn't mean you have to be one.
I gave this one star only because zero is not acceptable. You'd be better off just eating the bottle the crap comes in.
It does work for me
It works! I am a 54 year male and a personal trainer for 30 years.. And I DO NOT work for nor am I affiliated with Nugenix in anyway other than buying their product as a consumer.
I first heard of Nugenix two months ago when I was offered a free sample while on a fitness website that I frequent.I figured that I would give it a try and see what the results are. After two months? It works.
I am a person that has a lot of stress in and around my life and my cortisol levels were through the roof and my testosterone was way down because of it. My muscles were breaking down even after working out they didn't have the density and mass they once had. I was getting softer and softer by the month.
Of course my age and other variables played a major roll in the decline of the way my body was breaking down muscle fiber etc,however, after using this product for two months, I am convinced that it works! I have had an incredible turn around in my energy levels when at the gym and as far as libido? Well, the jury is still out on that one.. I am deciding if it has increased it or maintained it but I am sure that it works for rebuilding stamina and strength.
By the way, I do not believe that Nugenix works for me, ONLY because I want it to.. It has worked and I definitely believe that it has given me back what I lost and I will go on record saying so as I just did.
It may not work for everyone because of their own personal genetics and diet regiment, but there is no doubt in my mind if it works or not. As far as I concerned no further studies need to be conducted to convince me that it works.
Why didn't you get a simple Testosterone test before and then weeks after. then you would avoid the placebo effects and have real facts. i'm 68 ans still workout 3 time a week and am 10 kilos heavier than my collegiate wrestling weight. Nugenix caused me to loos my taste!

It's a place to go when all other doors are closed. For two years, the Crisis Care center has helped hundreds in the Black Hills pick up the pieces of their lives.
It's been a cycle of instability, stretching back as far as William can remember.
"I ended up with a DUI, hit and run, all kinds of a mess. I could've killed someone. I was getting weary of dealing with myself," said William, a former patient, who wanted to keep his identity hidden.
William says alcohol quieted his manic bipolar spells for a time, but finally when the price got too steep, he decided to seek help here.
"At times we're saving lives. I think at other times we're helping people move on in their life to a place that's going to be better," said Randy Allen, Crisis Care Center Clinical Director.
Many of the 1800 people who've stayed at the crisis care center are facing issues of mental illness, substance abuse or a bad relationship.
"We feel that what people could use is a good listening to. Once folks have had an opportunity to tell their story, we brainstorm and they regain their internal resources," said Allen.
"It's being with people that are checking with you, talking with you, that care about you," said William.
It's a critical step between outpatient therapy and inpatient psychiatric care, one that "William" says too many people don't take.
"You're looking at suicide for some people, some people could hurt someone else, for some people they end up in jail or prison," said William.
Two years after seeking help the first time, William now sees a fresh start within his grasp.
"I can see myself having a normal life which is something I've never had," said William.
Right now, the center can house six people at a time, but staff members say, they have plans to expand.
They hope to move into a larger facility within six months.
The center runs on an annual budget of roughly half a million dollars, contributed by Rapid City Regional hospital, private foundations, Rapid City and Pennington county.

Inbox: Examining the Branyan effect
MLB.com's Castrovince answers your Tribe questions
Spring Training has just begun, but the Inbox is already in midseason form. And while I'm not exactly sure if that form is worth bragging about, let's nonetheless continue our weekly banter about all things Indians.How many at-bats do the Indians see Russell Branyan taking up if he is signed? Will he block a healthy Matt LaPorta, or even Michael Brantley?
-- Aaron H., Steubenville, Ohio The Indians have not yet revealed their intentions for Branyan, and they won't until his one-year, $2-million contract is finalized by his successful completion of their physical examination. Given Branyan's back problems last year, it's not a given that he'll pass the physical. But if he does, the deal would likely be finalized Wednesday. In the meantime, we can only speculate on what the Tribe is thinking with the Branyan signing. To me, it signals that the Indians are either not convinced Matt LaPorta will be recovered from his surgeries by Opening Day or that they are not convinced he can handle the everyday duties at first base. LaPorta was still a work in progress at that position at season's end (and that's understandable, given that 2009 marked the first time he had played there in his professional career). Though the Indians eventually envision LaPorta settling in at first, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he continues to see time in the outfield this season. So that's a long-winded way of saying that yes, Aaron, it would appear Branyan could block Brantley. Because if LaPorta goes back to left, Brantley would likely open the season at Triple-A Columbus. I've been preparing readers for that scenario all winter. While Brantley had a stellar September, he did not have a dominant year at the Triple-A level last year. Furthermore, we all know how mindful the Indians are of their young players' arbitration clocks. If Brantley is on the Opening Day roster, his clock starts ticking. The Indians might prefer he becomes more polished in the Minors first. And while Branyan is another left-handed bat on a team full of them, the Indians could be operating on the acceptable premise that Travis Hafner will not log 500 at-bats this season. Two years' worth of shoulder issues have inspired doubts that Pronk can tolerate such a workload. We'll see if he proves the skeptics wrong, but it would appear Branyan is an insurance policy in that regard. Also, let's not forget that if Branyan puts together a strong first half, Hafner is an everyday player and LaPorta and Brantley both seem worthy of regular playing time, then the Indians could investigate moving Branyan and his short-term contract to another club by the non-waiver Trade Deadline. In the past few days, and seemingly out of nowhere, the Braves have been tied to Edward Salcedo. The Associated Press reported that his birthday has "recently" been established as July 30, 1991. The Indians had this guy playing in their Dominican Republic facilities for at least a year, he disappears for a couple years because of concerns about his age, and the Tribe loses touch? We should have been the first ones to hear about this, and the first ones to put in a bid.
-- Devin R., no location given Salcedo's situation is a bit suspicious. He's been trying to latch on with a team for several years, switching agents multiple times and participating in a semi-pro league, as MLB investigated his identity. I'm not sure if he's passed the inspection of both MLB and the U.S. consulate, but reports indicate the Braves are close to signing him.
Have a question about the Indians?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Indians beat reporter Jordan Bastian for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
-- Jose T., Utuado, Puerto Rico The Indians believe they have the future financial flexibility to investigate long-term deals for their emerging core players. I'd count Cabrera and Shin-Soo Choo in that boat, and I'm sure the Indians will look into the possibility of extending them. Both Choo and Cabrera will be arbitration-eligible at season's end, which means they'll be due for a nice raise. They're not eligible for free agency until after the 2013 season. If we were sitting in a bar talking baseball, and I didn't know what you did and you didn't know me, what would you say, just sort of on the side, about the Mark Shapiro and Chris Antonetti promotions?
-- William M., Santa Rosa, Calif. I'm going to need more information to fully comprehend this premise. Where is this bar? What am I wearing? Are we drinking scotch mixed with vodka and eating pizza that's half pineapple and Canadian bacon, half artichoke and pesto, light on the cheese? What is your opinion on the promotions of Shapiro and Antonetti?
-- Samil M., Grand Rapids, Mich. That's a much more direct approach, Samil. First of all, the promotions are unsurprising. They keep with the Tribe's trend of trying to maintain stability in the front office. The Indians view that stability as a competitive advantage in this game (particularly in this division), and Shapiro and Antonetti are both intelligent men with excellent communication skills. Of the two, Shapiro is the more natural leader, and he's obviously taken Antonetti under his wing and allowed him to grow as a GM candidate. Yes, some fans are upset with the promotions, and they are not without their valid concerns. The Indians have been disappointing the last two years, yet the two men atop the front-office totem pole have been promoted. To some, those two facts don't mesh. On the other hand, when you consider the constraints of the Indians' market conditions, the job Shapiro and his lieutenants have done has, by and large, been respectable. There have been some missteps in terms of trades (as there are with any front office) and player evaluations, and the club's poor Draft record is well documented (and, in recent years, has been addressed with a restructuring of the scouting department). But the Indians have also made some applaudable pickups, and the rise to relevance after the dismantling of the 2002 team was a remarkably short one when compared to the endless rebuilding cycles several other clubs remain immersed in. The Shapiro-to-president move is a major one for this organization, because it signals that the Indians are essentially merging their baseball and business sides at a time when the combination of the Tribe's struggles on the field and the economic struggles of the town in which the team resides have converged to paint a bleak picture for the turnstiles and the player payroll. I would not be surprised to see wide-ranging changes in the Indians' various business departments next winter as Shapiro looks for ways to generate more revenue for baseball operations. What was the reason the Indians did not see Chien-Ming Wang as a fit? That would have been two veterans in the rotation, and we all know that "two is great, but three's a crowd!"
-- Ryan M., Marion, Ind. The Indians looked into Wang but decided to back off. That they looked into him is not a surprise, because we've seen several instances in the past in which the Tribe has taken a gamble on a once-successful pitcher working his way back from an injury. That team officials backed off is also not a surprise, because the Indians decided early this winter that they would only add a starter if they felt he could make an immediate impact at a bargain price. Wang, obviously, came at a decent price to the Nationals ($2 million guaranteed for 2010, with up to $3 million in incentives), but he's no sure thing, given that he had shoulder surgery last July and won't be ready for the start of the season. The Indians are more inclined to give their young starters a chance to develop, because that's what this season is all about. And finally... I came up with "My Carmona" as a fantasy team name this year, the day before Knack lead singer Doug Fieger passed. I suppose it's in his memory now, but I can't help but feel a bit cursed.
-- Chris D., Champaign, Ill. That is a disturbing story, Chris. I'd recommend going with a different name. Might I suggest "My Favorite Marson," which was submitted by a reader named Zach from Youngstown, Ohio? If you're nervous, don't worry. I already checked, and "My Favorite Martian" star Ray Walston passed away back in 2001. You should be safe.

(06/25/12) - Elias Abuelazam has been sentenced to life in prison without parole in the August 2010 murder of Arnold Minor in Flint.
Minor's mother, Elzora Minor, was so overcome with emotion she couldn't speak when it was time to address the court.
She collapsed as her daughter, Stephanie Ward, was finishing her turn.
"I'm just glad for this day and hope he rots in hell for the pain he caused this city," Ward said in court.
Her mother then collapsed and had to be carried out, sobbing.
Ward said she did get a good look at Abuelazam in court Monday morning.
He was wearing an orange, jail jumpsuit, shackled at the hands and feet and surrounded by at least seven Sheriff's Department Deputies.
"Just evil. No remorse. You can just tell. To me, just an empty shell standing there," Ward says.
Abuelazam, dubbed the serial slasher, was convicted in May.
He was found guilty in the stabbing death of Minor.
Minor is believed to be Flint's final victim in August of 2010.
Abuelazam's attacks, investigators say, spanned months and even two other states.
Abuelazam is charged in nine assault cases in Genesee County.
There are eight left now, with the conviction in the Minor case.
A number of victims did testify during that trial to show a pattern, that these attacks were planned and thought out.
Antoine Marshall was one of those victims.
He attended Abuelazam's sentencing.
"I'm still angry. He messed up my life. My whole life. Mentally and physically," says Marshall.
At trial, the defense's only witness, a psychiatrist, testified Abuelazam told him "evil spirits" controlled his actions, soul-sucking demons forcing him to hurt others.
Prosecutors called their own experts who testified he did not suffer from mental illness.
"Nobody suffered more than the family of the victims and the victim's themselves," says Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton.
"This man terrorized our community."
"He murdered our citizens; he slashed our people; he stabbed and maimed our friends," Leyton says.
Leyton has not yet decided if his office will move forward with another trial.
If so, it will be a murder trial for Flint Township victim Frank Kellybrew.
"There are some victims who have already told me they don't need another proceeding. That they feel this was their proceeding as well," says Leyton.
"I have to decide to balance justice with my fiduciary obligation to the people of Genesee County. These trials are not inexpensive," Leyton says.
Leyton estimates the Minor trial cost the county about $100,000 when you factor in staff expenses, law enforcement, expert witnesses and travel, for example.

Super Bowl Sunday has become one of the nation's most dangerous days on the road, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Last year, three people died on Oregon roads during the Super Bowl weekend. Oregon State Police troopers reported 38 DUII arrests.
Over the last six years, 14 people have been killed in traffic crashes on the weekend of the big game. Troopers have made 270 DUII arrests over that same span.
Oregon State Police, the Oregon State Sheriff's Association, the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police, ODOT and MADD stress that designating a sober driver should be on the top of everyone's Super Bowl party list.
Police said a person hosting a party can be held liable if someone they served ends up in a drunken driving crash.
Report possible intoxicated drivers to 911 or Oregon State Police dispatch at 1-800-24-DRUNK (800-243-7856).

Rogen didn't tone down for Barbra
3:20pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Seth Rogen has revealed he refused to tone down his dirty sense of humour for Barbra Streisand.
The Knocked Up funnyman stars alongside the award-winning actress and singer in mother-son comedy The Guilt Trip, which follows an inventor and his mother as they embark on a cross-country road trip.
Seth told movie blog TheHotHits.com: "I made a choice very early on not to censor myself in front of her, just because I'll see if she can just handle it. And she totally did. It didn't faze her for a second. She's known much dirtier people in her life, I would imagine."
Barbra agreed: "That's true!"
Meanwhile, it has been announced that Seth will guest star in an episode of Fox comedy The Mindy Project, as Mindy's long lost lover from summer camp.

team in the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament. Sorry to make your blood pressure rise a bit, but overall they have quiet the team and have a very good chance of winning the tournament. I expect by now most of you know the big name for BYU, Brandon Davies, if you don't go look him up and come back please. Davies has already started the season out well with 28 points against Georgia State Panthers and a very strong outing in BYU's first game. Two other highly touted players are Carlino and Haws an efficient back court duo. Carlino is a good distributor and can stroke it from deep. While it pains me to say this, Pangos and Carlino are similar players. Haws is back from his Mormon mission and has apparently put in the work to hit the ground running this season.
What does this have to do with Gonzaga? BYU will face decent and good competition for the first time in the Coaches verses Cancer tournament, and the better competition should show a little bit more about this BYU team. So far the BYU Cougars have handled business against the lesser competition unlike a certain PAC 12 school in Washington or even another PAC 12 school in LA that needed overtime to put away the competition. The upcoming games against Florida St. and possibly Notre Dame or St. Joe's will provide a good test of skill for the Cougs. The best possible scenario for GU is of course is BYU blows out the competition and then loses spectacularly to GU at home.
In short, BYU is a good team. Davies, Carlino, and Haws are all good players. BYU has a really good shot of winning the Coaches verses Cancer tournament. It should show a bit more about the true ability of the team.

Big East/SEC Challenge Set: Vanderbilt to Host Villanova in Battle for "VU Hoops" Name
The official men's basketball schedule won't come out for a few months now, but Vandy fans can make plans for December 1st of this year. The Commodores will take on Villanova in a battle of rebuilding powerhouses at Memorial Gym. The Wildcats fell to 13-19 last season to miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time in seven years. They'll be looking to improve on that despite losing junior guard Maalik Wayns to the NBA Draft. Vanderbilt will be in year one of a potential rebuilding phase after losing five seniors and junior John Jenkins in 2012. The Commodores stand to watch three players get drafted this June as the team prepares to hand the reins over to Rod Odom, Kedren Johnson, and Dai-Jon Parker. This showdown will likely be one of the highest profile out-of-conference matchups that Memorial Gym hosts in 2012-2013. It should provide a good early barometer of what we can expect in SEC play from this young team.
