The majority of the report focused on the Winstonville Post Office robbery case on Dec. 12, 2012.
Albert Lee Holmes, 50, of Mound Bayou was indicted by a federal grand jury in Oxford for armed robbery and theft of a money order imprinter.
Holmes was arrested by the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department on a federal warrant on Jan. 28 and is being held at the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility.
Williams said the United States Postal Inspector recently praised the department for its support in the case.
"They commended us for doing a good job in assisting with the investigation," said Williams.
Inspectors from the United States Postal Service take over cases when robberies occur at post offices, but they also depend on help from local law enforcement.
The incident began around 2:45 p.m. when the clerk called 911 and reported the robbery.
When deputies from the sheriff's department arrived on scene, the victim provided them with a detailed report of what happened and a description of her assailant.
"The clerk stated that a black male between 5'5" and 5'9" tall and wearing a light blue sweatshirt and black pants entered the post office with a hood over his head and a bandanna covering his face," said Chief Deputy Gerald Wesley Jr., shortly after the incident. "The clerk also stated that the man pulled a knife."
The victim also said the suspect tied her up with rope and duct-taped her mouth while demanding her to lie on the floor.
"The suspect fled on foot after the robbery," said Williams. "The Cleveland Police Department K9 Unit and the Bolivar County K9 Unit tracked the scent of the suspect to an undisclosed residence in Winstonville.
"Thanks to the K9 units we were able to narrow our search down to one suspect in just two days," said Williams.
Holmes took with him a money order machine, a small amount of cash and three pre-printed money orders.
In a separate incident, an arrest was made in a child rape case of an eight-year-old female that occurred outside of Cleveland and was reported to the department on Dec. 31, 2012.
The suspect, David Herbert, fled to South Carolina before he was eventually apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service in Columbia, S.C.
Herbert waived his extradition and was transported back to Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility and was charged with child molestation.
"He is being held here and he should have his initial appearance in the next couple days to determine what his bond will be," said Williams.
Finally, deputies responded to another call on Dec. 31, 2012 where a subject had been robbed at his residence outside of Boyle.
Suspect Daniel Bryant from Dallas, Texas, was visiting the victim and carrying a handgun. He fled to Texas after the robbery.
"The suspect and the victim had some form of a relationship before the crime took place," said Williams.
An arrest warrant for armed robbery was issued and the U.S. Marshals Service apprehended Bryant in Dallas.
He is still in Dallas, waiting to be extradited back to the BCRCF.
"We are in the process of getting a transportation company to bring him back here," said Williams.
The BCSD depends on federal and state agencies to help solve these types of cases as quickly as possible.
"As you know, if we don't get to the cases when they're hot — the longer we wait the colder they become," said Williams. "Obviously we don't want cold cases."
Williams thanked his investigators for a job well done and said he's appreciative of the support he's receiving from the different law enforcement agencies.

Over on Twitter, @GiantsNirvana reminded me of something yesterday. Observe:
Remember that grand slam, guys? Most baseball games, I don't remember exactly where I was or anything, but I do with that one. I was listening in the car and way up in the middle of nowhere, so the radio reception was terrible. It was sort of crackly, going in and out but when Renteria hit the ball? It became clear. Crystal clear. Not exaggerating. And it was a moment of pure, baseball elation.
Of course, that was back in the day when the Rockies were not permanently toast and they were right in that pennant race – which they eventually won – with the Giants. That moment, still, was massive and one I will never-never forget. Right up there with when Edgar Renteria said "salsa". For those of you who haven't been reading my blog since the beginning (unforgivable), Edgar Renteria was once asked what his favorite kind of music was, during the between-inning feature on the scoreboard, and he said "salsa". Until you have heard his accent, you won't understand but it was the most beautiful thing in the world. Seriously.
Also, I don't know how many of you watched the Closing Ceremony for the Olympics last night, but it was a serious let-down. Partially because it just was and partially because in the 2016 Rio preview, nobody sang Take You to Rio.
It was kind of sad.
In other Olympics news, Kate Moss can still catwalk like a boss and the best Opening Ceremony outfits were Team Italia's, hands down. Designed by Armani, naturally. If I suddenly developed amazing athletic ability and qualified for the Games, I would renounce my American citizenship and beg Italy to take me on. Just so I could wear the clothes in the Opening Ceremony. I am not a materialist at all, no.

Estes said results from the voting machine showed that he drew in 334 votes, with the second highest candidate receiving 72 votes.
Estes said Pamela Tucker received 72 votes, Leo McGee received 40 and Isaac Green tallied 21.
"Counting 141 affidavits, nine curbside votes and two absentee votes, there are still 152 votes that need to be counted before results can be official," said Estes. "But even if all of these votes went to another candidate, my total can't be passed."
The certification process for the 152 remaining votes should begin Wednesday.
"As far as the race for mayor, the citizens of Rosedale have spoken on who they want to run the town again for the next four years," added Estes. "I'd like to say thanks to all the loyal citizens who have put their trust in me and reelected me to help bring our town up to bigger and better things.
"I will focus on working with law enforcement to improve some of the problems we've experienced lately and make this town a safer place for everyone to live."
There were also two Rosedale councilmen elections held Monday.
In Ward 1, Gregory Johnson received 73 votes and Debra Smith received 56.
In Ward 3, James Bolden received 48 votes and Raymon Kelly received 41.
Both of these elections could change depending on certification of the remaining 152 votes.
Estes said a State of the Town address would occur once results are final.

As the gun control debate heats back up, Humboldt County Sheriff Mike Downey has joined a growing number of sheriffs nationwide who oppose what they see as an infringement on the Second Amendment by President Barack Obama and Congress.
"I'm concerned about the assault, the intrusion on the constitution," Downey said.
Downey and other sheriffs joined the list after Obama unveiled 23 executive actions on gun control last week, and urged Congress to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
So far, 90 sheriffs nationwide have signed onto the petition which states they are saying no to Obama's gun control measures, according to the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. Also included on the list are Mendocino County Sheriff Thomas Allman, Del Norte County Sheriff Dean Wilson and Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey.
Seeking to circumvent at least some congressional opposition, Obama signed the 23 executive actions on Jan. 16, including orders to make more federal data available for background checks and end a freeze on government research on gun violence.
The president's announcements on gun control capped a swift and wide-ranging effort, led by Vice President Joe Biden, to respond to the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"I will put everything I've got into this, and so will Joe," the president said at a White House ceremony last week.
Downey said one of his main objections so far is "the fact that they're doing it by executive order, and not legislative action."
He said he feels strongly about standing up for the Constitution, whether it's the Second Amendment or any other constitutional issue. "We're concerned about the possible intrusion by the federal government," Downey said.
Jason Plume, a Humboldt State politics professor who teaches constitutional law, said Downey is probably on "solid ground" with his complaint. He added that, even though he's a local official, Downey and all sheriffs take the oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
Downey said he does support background checks for prospective gun buyers, and he pointed out that many such strict laws are already in place in California.
Sheriff opposition to more federal gun limits isn't necessarily surprising, Plume said. "If (sheriffs) don't have a problem with gun control in their area, why would they try to be more stringent?" he asked.
The Del Norte sheriff's name is also on the list, which he said was the result of his membership with the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. Wilson said he generally agrees with Downey. The two have discussed issues like gun control before, he said.
"'Shall not be infringed,' that's pretty clear," Wilson said of the Second Amendment's language. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out."
He said he wants to see measures to prevent violence and mass shootings focus more on mental health rather than guns. It's difficult to share a patient's mental health information between agencies, Wilson said, information that could potentially prevent violence.
"Many times, the flags were there," he said. "It's not the tool. It's the person that operates the tool that's a problem."
Wilson said that if a bill introduced by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein Thursday -- which would ban an estimated 157 weapons with certain semiautomatic or high capacity capabilities -- becomes law, it would "make criminals out of a lot of people that aren't criminals."
He said he knows collectors with "hundreds" of weapons, and such a ban would take away the value of their collection. Many of his officers also have several service weapons, and Wilson said he worries that they won't be able to keep them when they retire.
A Feinstein press release said the legislation includes several exceptions and a "grandfather" clause, that would keep legal "legitimate" hunting rifles, and allow law enforcement or retired law enforcement to have those weapons.
"We must balance the desire of a few to own military-style assault weapons with the growing threat to lives across America," Feinstein said in a press release, acknowledging that getting the bill signed into law will be an "uphill battle."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has said he is skeptical about the bill. If that sentiment is shared by other fellow Democrats, let alone Republicans, it doesn't stand much of a chance of passage in its current form, Plume said.
Wilson said anxiety from looming gun control measures comes with the territory of the rural North Coast, where many people own firearms and might live an hour or two away from help. As sheriff, he said he's OK with people in rural Del Norte county defending themselves.
"The ability and duty to protect their property falls on themselves," Wilson said. "I want you to do that, to protect yourself and your property. When you need us, we might not be around the corner."
"We're very self-reliant up here," he added.
Wilson said he is going to wait and see how any possible legislation works out, before he sends a letter to President Obama or Vice President Biden or Feinstein like some other sheriffs have. He said, like Downey, that California's gun laws are strict enough.
"How far do we go down this (gun control) rabbit hole?" Wilson said.

If this new dispute goes through and doesn't get resolved quickly I will be going back to cable. Losing AMC and now possibly Fox and CW (Baltimore). This will be the last straw.
What group of channels will be next??
I completely understand Dish's approach to try and keep prices low, but at some point I will still be paying the same amount but with a lot less channels. If they drop channels, my bill needs to go down as well.
We lost AMC, where is my compensation? Dish's cost went down when they stopped broadcasting AMC but my bill didn't.
I was with cable for 4 or 5+ years and no issues. Joined Dish and within weeks threats of channel disputes and the lose of AMC. And my TV bill isn't that much cheaper than cable, my $10/month less.
Cable companies give in easily. Thus your go up more.

Though I think Disney had a large part in the extentions, particularly the Sonny Bono 1998 act.
But thinking about it more, when he does expire, it would probably be the Steamboat Willie version, not the more recognizable modern look.
Exactly my point. Disney fought and won copyright extension expressly so Mickey Mouse wouldn't pass into public domain. It's insane.

Credibility concerns triggered Heidt firing

Just a couple of weeks ago, one of your alter egos offered a somewhat different take. I think the exact words were: "Obviously the district attorney has seen no crime committed. Move on folks nothing to see here."
There is always discretion in charging, oc course. According to the chief in Mac, five charges could have been brought against Heidt in Seaside, but none were.
The beating case is 3 1/2 years old now, and the really damming evidence didn't turn up until more than 3 years later. That might be a hard case to make under the circumstances.
You could also look at it this way: The case has already been adjudiated three times, once with Aranda's criminal trial, once with the federal civil suit and once with the internal disciplinary proceedings ending in a subsequent round of state arbitration. So it's gotten a lot of chewing.
Plus, Heidt already suffered a demotion, then a termination; he has likely earned a record that will prevent him from ever working in law enforcement again in any capacity at any level; and the city and county got slapped with a $295,000 civil penalty. One could ask, do we really want to initiate another round of proceedings at great public expense. If the likely outcome ranged from acquittal to probation, which I suspect, then what's the point of investing another 25 or 30 grand or whatever?
But that's just my take.
We didn't feel it was an issue worth pursuing with the DA, but if you do, the field is open. He's only a phone call or e-mail away.
Actually had to look that one up, Steve, and found it's use by you to be just another slur as is typical.
A change in usernames does not constitute, much less mean, anything other than just that, and that much only. No alter ego here homie or don't you know me?
I believe (as I am quite positive you do as well) that the vast majority of those working in the field of law enforcement are of honorable and reputable character. It is also my opinion that those that choose to break ranks from that vast majority should be made to pay a higher and dearer price for making any conscious decision to break from those ranks.
What I find bothersome is that the financial burden for recompense seems to fall more on the back of the institution than on that of the individual. Officer Heidt has now proven himself to be a violent individual, but one without a conviction on his record. Will allowing this individual to continue on with his life without that conviction to follow him, only time will tell.
Let's hope that his right to continue to own firearms does not prove some day to be a decision made detrimental concerning the safety of, or the public good.
....Happy 4th of July, Yamhill County!
Alter egos are used by numerous performing artists who use stage or screen personas (which is different from stage names) both to entertain audiences and to explore new identities for themselves. An early example of a musical group to make use of alter egos was The Beatles, who recorded and performed as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in order "to alter our egos, free ourselves and have a lot of fun." Alter egos would later be used for entertainment value by glam-associated artists such as David Bowie (as Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke) and KISS, and to exploit horror themes by shock rocker Alice Cooper. Often, these artists are known almost exclusively by their alter egos... In contemporary hip hop, artists such as, B.o.B, Nicki Minaj, Tech N9ne, and have used the alter egos Bobby Ray, Roman Zolanski, Tecca Nina... More subtle uses of alter egos can be seen in artists who redefine their image for an album, such as Christina Aguilera as Xtina.
Not a slur. Not even a negative reference, just a reference to another persona. You used one moniker for your earlier reference and now you are using another. That's the sum total of it.
A person who has an alter ego is said to live a double life.
How 'bout we just stick with the facts, yes, I do change usernames and do so often but my persona remains the same as I have no alter ego, no "other I" do I employ.
Not anymore than you change whether you are presenting yourself as Steve Bagwell, Managing Editor, or just you posting as Steve. I would suppose that in your own case that the term alter ego may actually apply. Would it not?
~Two shoes
Yes, one of my alter egos is a managing editor. Another would be husband. Then there would be father. I think we all play various roles in life, and alter egos is one way to refer to them.
There's no need to take offense when none is intended. Rest easy.

I don't think anyone wants to hear a play-by-play of last night's game. So I'm going to go a little alternative and give you a play by play of me during last night's game. Which, as it turns out, may not have been that dissimilar.
First Inning: Turned up radio really loud. Stoked for game.
Second Inning: Significantly less stoked. Turned radio down.
Third Inning: Fell soundly asleep.
Fourth Inning: Woke up and ate pasta sadly.
Fifth Inning: Tore hair out.
Sixth Inning: Whipped cream.
Seventh Inning: Ate whipped cream.
Eight Inning: Drummed fingers.
Ninth Inning: Cried eyes out.
After I was done crying my eyes out, I started smelling cinnamon apple cake everywhere which I took to mean that I was going insane from losses. Tell me, Giants fans, are you experiencing delusions as well?
I'm trying to think of this as that terrible streak that is better to have in August than September and the Diamondbacks are not tearing it up and taking the division or anything, so there is a silver lining, however small.
Mostly, now might be a prime moment for Sabean to whip of some waiver magic or just bring up the whole AAA team. Something to shake things up. Yep, I'm giving him a call.

A New Sound System for New Contemporary Church, Part 2
Sep 20, 2012 12:17 PM, With Bennett Liles
Well, so far you've made it sound like this one was almost too easy. So was there any really tough task in the project or what was the biggest challenge in it?
You know, honestly, it was a pretty fluid project. They were a great church to work with, and I would say the toughest thing was probably just the overall installation of it. With any installation of this size it takes some time and you know there's always little things here and there—used conduit pulls and wiring and rigging and stuff that just takes some time and ingenuity and designing's you gotta get through, and it was a pretty smooth system though. It was a fun project to be a part of. [Timestamp: 4:49]
And I'm sure they had things going on while the sound system installation was happening. I guess they didn't have services and things like that going on in there yet though.
Fortunately this was actually a new build, so they didn't have anything opened. We worked as the contractors worked. I mean if anything we were dodging carpet installation and other contractors to finish up the building project and we all finished at the same time and they had an opening service. So we didn't have to dodge any type of special events or anything church schedule, I guess, but there's always those constant scheduling between our contractors and the builder that our project manager Clayton Chaney takes care of and does a great job at. [Timestamp: 5:29]
Well, that made it a whole lot easier. What type of wireless mics did you put in there for the performers and pastors and so on?
They're running Shure UHF-R mics with KSM9 heads—a great solution, high quality microphone that is doing the job just fine. They actually had that preexisting from their portable church and they just moved that over to this facility and we just integrated that with the new install. [Timestamp: 5:52]
And I guess you have some centrally located receivers and antennas for that?
Yes, the receivers were installed at FOH and able to be monitored from FOH, and we even hooked up Wireless Workbench and stuff, and then we have the antenna distribution as well. [Timestamp: 6:10]
So how long did it take you to do all of this?
You know it kind of came in two parts. The first part was just the wiring and rigging before all the finished work of the building went up and I would say wiring—pulling all the wires for the building and the rigging—was about four weeks and then part two was just the installation of the rack, the amps, hanging the actual speakers, and then just configuring everything and that was another two weeks; so it was about a six-week process of install. [Timestamp: 6:38]
Well, that's not bad at all. It sounds like you had enough time to do everything without having to rush through it. So what's coming up for Elite Multimedia? What have you got in the works?
Right now we're actually finishing up a church here locally, Life Church of Memphis, their Collierville campus. We're putting in a audio system there and finishing that up. We have First Baptist Church-Broad in Memphis that we're finishing up and we have another project around the corner in Ohio. We're really all over the place. We have several projects going on and we just keep going at it man—keep growing and keep going. [Timestamp: 7:12]
Well, that's the way to go. You got this one down with no serious problems. It's Wade Russell from Elite Multimedia in Memphis, Tenn., and the new sound installation for the Living Hope Church. Thanks for telling us about it.
Thank you.

Baseball March 1st, 2010
Because I am insanely jealous that Anthony Witrado has a job working for the Journal Sentinel and I don't, I am going to make fun of him on a regular basis FJM style. It really has nothing to do with his writing I am just a bitter wannabe. Well maybe it has a little bit to do with his writing.
Okay, it's completely due to his writing. Today's story: Fielder uses fear as his fuel
Phoenix — Looking at him, it's far from obvious.
That he's a pussy.
His imposing stature, the tattoos, the snarling looks, the regal name. All those things just act as his mask.
His mask to hide the fact that he is a wuss.
But the fear is immune to those elements and nestles comfortably inside Prince Fielder, ignoring any resistance from his outward machismo and bravado.
Much like a gay man still in the closet.
His psyche is a breeding ground for that fear. It is a constant within the man.
Like his heartbeat, only wussier.
The fear consumes every aspect of his life, and has so from childhood.
That movie Child's Play? Totally freaked him out. Read the rest of this entry »

Dodge Ram Owners Photo Gallery
redramqc Posts: 4I've had my Dodge for a week. It's a Quad Cab, Flame Red w/ 20" wheels. Here is a link to pictures of it: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/redramqc/
brnzbk Posts: 33I have a '02 QC, SLT, 4.7 auto, premium seats, sliding rear window, security package, P265 on/off road WO with standard wheels, limited slip 3:55, towing package, Patriot Blue/ blue interior. It listed for $31600, paid $26400. I have about 2100 miles on mine and I get around 14.5 mpg, 60/40 city - highway. I haven't taken a 100% highway trip yet, but I will keep everyone informed on the milage as things progress. Congratulations on your new truck, you will love it.
jlamarj Posts: 19http://photos.yahoo.com/jlamarj
These are a few months old. I have since added nerfs and a bed cover. Will update soon -
hersbird Posts: 323
It's a 2wd, with the sport package and polished 20" wheels. I want to lower the rear a little to get it a bit more level, right now the rear sits over 4" higher then the front and even when we loaded 1500# of bricks in the bed it still wasn't level and had lots more suspension travel to go! -
satelitedawg Posts: 1This is Satelitedawg in Joliet, Illinois. I purchased my '03 Hemi Ram in March 2003. It runs great and I have averaged around 16 mpg with a roll -n- lock cover on the bed. I just turned 16,000 miles last week. I have had problems with the rear disc brakes. The first set warped within the first 2,000 miles. I took it to the dealer and they put new discs on. They lasted about 1,000 miles. They contacted Dodge and were told that the engineers were aware of the problem and were working on a fix. I believe the problem is with the caliper design, but we will wait and see. The truck is driveable, but when braking from highway speeds to a stop, you can feel and see the steering wheel shimmy. If anyone else is having similar problems, please let me know.
loncray Posts: 301Hmmm - I've got an '03 2500 Cummins - and I love my brakes! I never knew a truck that big could stop that fast - I haven't had a single problem, though I will once I have to buy tires. 17" are rare and expensive, but that's the smallest that'll fit over those 16" rotors. Please let us all know what your dealer eventually says is the fix!
dimster Posts: 10I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. I HAVE INSTALLED A 3 INCH LIFT AND HAVE INSTALLED 315/70/17 BF GOODRICH TIRES. SINCE THEN MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY ON WINDY DAYS CONSTANTLY SHIFTS INTO OVER DRIVE BETWEEN 65-75 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I AM ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY. I LIVE IN KINGSVILLE TEXAS AND OFTEN GO TO CORPUS CHRISTI WHICH IS ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY. DURING THAT 40 MILE STRETCH MY TRUCK WILL SHIFT ABOUT 15 TIMES JUST TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT. I SOMETIMES AM TRAVELING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR AT 26OO RPM. IS THIS A CONDITION DO TO THE INCREASE IN TIRE SIZE OR AM I EXPERIENCEING A POSSIBLE MECHANICAL PROBLEM ? IF ANYONE HAS ANY INPUT I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE IT .
rammomma Posts: 1Try searching the Problems & Solutions thread fordy1, "Dodge Ram Owners: Problems & Solutions" #447, 9 Nov 2003 9:17 pm
From what I've read there, you may be looking at a clogged catalytic converter. My 96 Ram 1500 is in the shop as we speak for the same problem, only it was catastophic, the truck would hardly move at all. But my first indication was a series of violent downshifts as the poor thing tried to accelerate. Good luck. -
gotram Posts: 3I have an 02 ram and it does not like 70 mph either. By placing larger tires on it you have no doubt exasperated the problem by moving the shift point even higher. Even stock the transmission shift points are set too low to keep the RPM's down and improve gas milage. With the mods you have added, I would think seriously about chipping the transmission shift points to allow you to run at a higher RPM at highway speeds. I am about to add larger tires too and have already spoke to the dealer about changing shiftpoints. Dennis
calihemi Posts: 1This is my 2005 Dodge Hemi. I have installed an AFE Cold Air Intake, 40 series Flowmaster with 5 and a half inch tips, Powerstop Drilled Rotors with Powerstop Pads, a Superchip, and after market 20's. My problem is sometimes when I'm sitting at a light, my truck stalls. I'm wondering if I need an after market oxy sensor?

I wasn't shocked that the Giants won that game last night. Has anyone else noticed that the "underdog" always wins? To an extent that we should just call 'em the overdogs and be done with it.
Like everyone else on the face of this beautiful planet, I can't stand the Fox announcers but I do enjoy seeing it on TV from time to time so this game was fun. Aside from the fact that Edgar Renteria and Mike Fontenot always look like they're about to cry. Has anyone else noticed that? With Renteria it's sort of a constant look of melancholy whereas with Fontenot, it's permanent moisture around his eyes. Speaking of moisture… would someone like to clue me into why one would drink Gatorade and then immediately spit it out. If it's just a show for the cameras, then who taught those guys what fans like to see? Um, not you spitting out a stream of Gatorade.
Picture is slightly irrelevant because this player seems to actually be drinking his drink. Which is not a weird thing to do, contrary to what you might think from watching sport's broadcasts.
Today's game is going to be a struggle for me because I've always been an Oswalt fan and part of me really wants his decision to go to the Phillies, because he saw them as a potentially World Series winning team, to pay off. But he's the only player from the team who I like, so I am going to try to root totally and utterly for Sanchez and the Giants. Depending on the state of Sanchez's chameleon facial hair, that may be more or less difficult. Will keep you posted.
Lastly, for now, on the hair thing… Dear Cody Ross: A shaved head and sort-of-kind-of-no-not-really beard may be acceptable for a rodeo clown, but, um, it is not in the NLCS. I suggest you get rid of the beard, pronto.
I was also kind of wondering if Roy was a really popular baby name in 1977, the year Oswalt and Halladay were both born so I looked it up and Roy was the 141st most common name that year. Then I looked Halladay up and his name isn't really Roy. That's a nickname. Theory, invalidated.
I would just like to put it out there one last time that I have serious Rally Rag envy issues. If any generous people have an extra one, leave it by the Prada sunglasses at Saks Fifth Avenue on Union Square. I spend a good chunk of my life there so I'll find it within a few days and if you leave your name, I'll give you a virtual hug. And a real hug if you buy me some sunglasses.
I also came to the realization, when the Fox guys referenced "Giants Baseball: Torture" that it has been way, way overused. I love the phrase and think it very well represents the 2010 Giants but everyone just says it so much. At the least, I hope people will stop telling the whole story behind it. Because surely we all know by now and we can just use the phrase? If someone doesn't know and is interested, well, that's what Google is for!

p.s. I just noticed last night that Wilson's glove says, "WILSON" in big black letters. It is dorky and adorable at the same time.
And isn't that just a fantastic pose?

The centurion's servant healed. (1-10) The widow's son raised. (11-18) John the Baptist's inquiry concerning Jesus. (19-35) Christ anointed in the house of the Pharisee The parable of the two debtors. (36-50)
Verses 1-10 Servants should study to endear themselves to their masters. Masters ought to take particular care of their servants when they are sick. We may still, by faithful and fervent prayer, apply to Christ, and ought to do so when sickness is in our families. The building places for religious worship is a good work, and an instance of love to God and his people. Our Lord Jesus was pleased with the centurion's faith; and he never fails to answer the expectations of that faith which honours his power and love. The cure soon wrought and perfect.
Verses 11-18 When the Lord saw the poor widow following her son to the grave, he had compassion on her. See Christ's power over death itself. The gospel call to all people, to young people particularly, is, Arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light and life. When Christ put life into him, it appeared by the youth's sitting up. Have we grace from Christ? Let us show it. He began to speak: whenever Christ gives us spiritual life, he opens the lips in prayer and praise. When dead souls are raised to spiritual life, by Divine power going with the gospel, we must glorify God, and look upon it as a gracious visit to his people. Let us seek for such an interest in our compassionate Saviour, that we may look forward with joy to the time when the Redeemer's voice shall call forth all that are in their graves. May we be called to the resurrection of life, not to that of damnation.
Verses 19-35 To his miracles in the kingdom of nature, Christ adds this in the kingdom of grace, To the poor the gospel is preached. It clearly pointed out the spiritual nature of Christ's kingdom, that the messenger he sent before him to prepare his way, did it by preaching repentance and reformation of heart and life. We have here the just blame of those who were not wrought upon by the ministry of John Baptist or of Jesus Christ himself. They made a jest of the methods God took to do them good. This is the ruin of multitudes; they are not serious in the concerns of their souls. Let us study to prove ourselves children of Wisdom, by attending the instructions of God's word, and adoring those mysteries and glad tidings which infidels and Pharisees deride and blaspheme.
Verses 36-50 None can truly perceive how precious Christ is, and the glory of the gospel, except the broken-hearted. But while they feel they cannot enough express self-abhorrence on account of sin, and admiration of his mercy, the self-sufficient will be disgusted, because the gospel encourages such repenting sinners. The Pharisee, instead of rejoicing in the tokens of the woman's repentance, confined his thoughts to her former bad character. But without free forgiveness none of us can escape the wrath to come; this our gracious Saviour has purchased with his blood, that he may freely bestow it on every one that believes in him. Christ, by a parable, forced Simon to acknowledge that the greater sinner this woman had been, the greater love she ought to show to Him when her sins were pardoned. Learn here, that sin is a debt; and all are sinners, are debtors to Almighty God. Some sinners are greater debtors; but whether our debt be more or less, it is more than we are able to pay. God is ready to forgive; and his Son having purchased pardon for those who believe in him, his gospel promises it to them, and his Spirit seals it to repenting sinners, and gives them the comfort. Let us keep far from the proud spirit of the Pharisee, simply depending upon and rejoicing in Christ alone, and so be prepared to obey him more zealously, and more strongly to recommend him unto all around us. The more we express our sorrow for sin, and our love to Christ, the clearer evidence we have of the forgiveness of our sins. What a wonderful change does grace make upon a sinner's heart and life, as well as upon his state before God, by the full remission of all his sins through faith in the Lord Jesus!
Luke 7:1-10 . CENTURION'S SERVANT HEALED.
4. he was worthy--a testimony most precious, coming from those who probably were strangers to the principle from which he acted ( Ecclesiastes 7:1 ).
5. loved our nation--Having found that "salvation was of the Jews," he loved them for it.
built, &c.--His love took this practical and appropriate form.
Luke 7:11-17 . WIDOW OF NAIN'S SON RAISED TO LIFE. (In Luke only).
11. Nain--a small village not elsewhere mentioned in Scripture, and only this once probably visited by our Lord; it lay a little to the south of Mount Tabor, about twelve miles from Capernaum.
12. carried out--"was being carried out." Dead bodies, being ceremonially unclean, were not allowed to be buried within the cities (though the kings of David's house were buried m the city of David), and the funeral was usually on the same day as the death.
only son, &c.--affecting particulars, told with delightful simplicity.
13. the Lord--"This sublime appellation is more usual with Luke and John than Matthew; Mark holds the mean" [BENGEL].
saw her, he had compassion, &c.--What consolation to thousands of the bereaved has this single verse carried from age to age!
14, 15. What mingled majesty and grace shines in this scene! The Resurrection and the Life in human flesh, with a word of command, bringing back life to the dead body; Incarnate Compassion summoning its absolute power to dry a widow's tears!
16. visited his people--more than bringing back the days of Elijah and Elisha ( 1 Kings 17:17-24 , 2 Kings 4:32-37 ; and see Matthew 15:31 ).
Luke 7:18-35 . THE BAPTIST'S MESSAGE THE REPLY, AND CONSEQUENT DISCOURSE.
29, 30. And all the people that heard--"on hearing (this)." These are the observations of the Evangelist, not of our Lord.
and the publicans--a striking clause.
justified God, being baptized, &c.--rather, "having been baptized." The meaning is, They acknowledged the divine wisdom of such a preparatory ministry as John's, in leading them to Him who now spake to them (see Luke 1:16 Luke 1:17 ); whereas the Pharisees and lawyers, true to themselves in refusing the baptism of John, set at naught also the merciful design of God in the Saviour Himself, to their own destruction.
31-35. the Lord said, &c.--As cross, capricious children, invited by their playmates to join them in their amusements, will play with them neither at weddings nor funerals (juvenile imitations of the joyous and mournful scenes of life), so that generation rejected both John and his Master: the one because he was too unsocial--more like a demoniac than a rational man; the other, because He was too much the reverse, given to animal indulgences, and consorting with the lowest classes of society. But the children of Wisdom recognize and honor her, whether in the austere garb of the Baptist or in the more attractive style of his Master, whether in the Law or in the Gospel, whether in rags or in royalty, for "the full soul loatheth an honeycomb, but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet" ( Proverbs 27:7 ).
Luke 7:36-50 . CHRIST'S FEET WASHED WITH TEARS.
37, 38. a sinner--one who had led a profligate life. Note.--There is no ground whatever for the popular notion that this woman was Mary Magdalene, nor do we know what her name was.
an alabaster box of ointment--a perfume vessel, in some cases very costly ( John 12:5 ). "The ointment has here a peculiar interest, as the offering by a penitent of what had been an accessory in her unhallowed work of sin" [ALFORD].
38. at his feet behind him--the posture at meals being a reclining one, with the feet out behind.
began to wash, &c.--to "water with a shower." The tears, which were quite involuntary, poured down in a flood upon His naked feet, as she bent down to kiss them; and deeming them rather fouled than washed by this, she hastened to wipe them off with the only towel she had, the long tresses of her own hair, "with which slaves were wont to wash their masters' feet" [STIER].
kissed--The word signifies "to kiss fondly, to caress," or to "kiss again and again," which Luke 7:45 shows is meant here. What prompted this? Much love, springing from a sense of much forgiveness. So says He who knew her heart ( Luke 7:47 ). Where she had met with Christ before, or what words of His had brought life to her dead heart and a sense of divine pardon to her guilty soul, we know not. But probably she was of the crowd of "publicans and sinners" whom Incarnate Compassion drew so often around Him, and heard from His lips some of those words such as never man spake, "Come unto Me, all ye that labour," &c. No personal interview had up to this time taken place between them; but she could keep her feelings no longer to herself, and having found her way to Him (and entered along with him, Luke 7:45 ), they burst forth in this surpassing yet most artless style, as if her whole soul would go out to Him.
39. the Pharisee--who had formed no definite opinion of our Lord, and invited Him apparently to obtain materials for a judgment.
spake within himself, &c.--"Ha! I have Him now; He plainly knows nothing of the person He allows to touch Him; and so, He can be no prophet." Not so fast, Simon; thou hast not seen through thy Guest yet, but He hath seen through thee.
40-43. Like Nathan with David, our Lord conceals His home thrust under the veil of a parable, and makes His host himself pronounce upon the case. The two debtors are the woman and Simon; the criminality of the one was ten times that of the other (in the proportion of "five hundred" to "fifty"); but both being equally insolvent, both are with equal frankness forgiven; and Simon is made to own that the greatest debtor to forgiving mercy will cling to her Divine Benefactor with the deepest gratitude. Does our Lord then admit that Simon was a forgiving man? Let us see.
44-47. I entered . . . no water--a compliment to guests. Was this "much love?" Was it any?
45. no kiss--of salutation. How much love was here? Any at all?
46. with oil . . . not anoint--even common olive oil in contrast with the woman's "ointment" or aromatic balsam. What evidence was thus afforded of any feeling which forgiveness prompts? Our Lord speaks this with delicate politeness, as if hurt at these inattentions of His host, which though not invariably shown to guests, were the customary marks of studied respect and regard. The inference is plain--only one of the debtors was really forgiven, though in the first instance, to give room for the play of withheld feelings, the forgiveness of both is supposed in the parable.
47. Her sins which are many--"Those many sins of hers," our Lord, who admitted how much more she owed than the Pharisee, now proclaims in naked terms the forgiveness of her guilt.
for--not because, as if love were the cause of forgiveness, but "inasmuch as," or "in proof of which." The latter clause of the verse, and the whole structure of the parable, plainly show this to be the meaning.
little forgiven . . . loveth little--delicately ironical intimation of no love and no forgiveness in the present case.
48. said unto her, &c.--an unsought assurance, usually springing up unexpected in the midst of active duty and warm affections, while often it flies from those who mope and are paralyzed for want of it.
49, 50. they that sat . . . Who is this, &c.--No wonder they were startled to hear One who was reclining at the same couch, and partaking of the same hospitalities with themselves, assume the awful prerogative of "even forgiving sins." But so far from receding from this claim, or softening it down, our Lord only repeats it, with two precious additions: one, announcing what was the one secret of the "forgiveness" she had experienced, and which carried "salvation" in its bosom; the other, a glorious dismissal of her in that "peace" which she had already felt, but is now assured she has His full warrant to enjoy! This wonderful scene teaches two very weighty truths: (1) Though there be degrees of guilt, insolvency, or inability to wipe out the dishonor done to God, is common to all sinners. (2) As Christ is the Great Creditor to whom all debt, whether great or small, contracted by sinners is owing, so to Him belongs the prerogative of forgiving it. This latter truth is brought out in the structure and application of the present parable as it is nowhere else. Either then Jesus was a blaspheming deceiver, or He is God manifest in the flesh.

Mayer is entering his 12th consecutive year with the Stars & Promises Christmas tour.
The namesake of the Peter Mayer Group has melded a unique and eclectic writing style, a distinctive voice and virtuoso musicianship to create compelling and accessible music that is electrifying in live performance, officials said.
Culling childhood influences that ranged from traditional Indian music and the Beatles, Mayer studied and taught jazz guitar.
He's had the opportunity to share the stage with James Taylor, Mac McAnally, Sonny Landreth, Don Henley and others.
Each December, the Peter Mayer Group embarks on its Christmas tour. For many, these performances kick off the Christmas and holiday season and have become both a thrilling and meaningful part of their celebrations.
These performances feature a collection of original and traditional Christmas music played by an inventive ensemble that features R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow, Mama's Pride, Jeff Coffin) on percussion, guitar, and vocals; Marc Torlina (Chuck Berry, Neil Sedaka, Treme Terra) on bass and vocals; Maggie Estes (Buddy Spicher, Leahy, Mike Snider) on violin and mandolin; and Chris Walters (Bela Fleck, Alabama, JD Souther) on keyboards.

Theodore Rex (Paperback) Book
Sale Price: $5.99
List Price: $17.95
You Save: 67% off
To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
In this lively biography, Edmund Morris returns to the gifted, energetic, and thoroughly controversial man whom the novelist Henry James called "King Theodore." In his two terms as president of the United States, Roosevelt forged an American empire, and he behaved as if it was his destiny. In this sequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Morris charts Roosevelt's accomplishments: the acquisition of the Panama Canal and the Philippines, the creation of national parks and monuments, and more. "Collaring Capital and Labor in either hand," Morris writes, Roosevelt made few friends, but he usually got what he wanted--and earned an enduring place in history.
Morris combines a fine command of the era's big issues with an appreciation for the daily minutiae involved in governing a nation. Less controversially inventive, but no less readable, than the Ronald Reagan biography Dutch, Theodore Rex gives readers new reason both to admire and fault an American phenomenon.
From his prizewinning biographies of his favorite president -- The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and, more recently, Theodore Rex -- to his controversial coverage of Ronald Reagan in Dutch, Edmund Morris has established a reputation as a presidential profiler to watch.

"The (Cleveland Board of Aldermen) met to finalize budget amendments and to consider various proposals," said City Manager Farae Wolfe, following Tuesday's recessed board meeting.
One main topic up for discussion and approval was the funding for the Runway Grand Opening Air Show event.
The event has been approved but there are still a few "lose ends" that Johnson must tie-up before the event can take place, such as waiver approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
"In order to have an airshow, there are certain regulations," said Johnson.
The FAA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation, which has authority to regulate and oversee all aspects of American civil aviation.
Johnson has not yet released the names of the participants in the air show.
"Its kind of an odd time to have an airshow, but these guys have a show every weekend and they are pretty much doing us a favor.
"It's going to be a short event, we only have a few acts," said Johnson.
Although the air show event was one of the topics for discussion, board members also went into an executive session to discuss approval of employee action recommendations and requests for budget amendments.

Witrado's Quest Part 2
Baseball October 16th, 2009
The slow news days have begun and due to MLB rules there is only a playoff game once every six days. What do we do? Inspired by our favorite site The Dugout, we've decided to follow our favorite JSOnline writer Anthony Witrado on a quest. A quest to find love, adulation and respect in a cruel world that doesn't understand him or particularly like him. Will he find what he's been seeking? Or will he fail at it, like he's failed at life so many times before? Find out in Witrado's Quest: A Miller Park Drunk Event.
In part one Anthony learned that his fellow writers at the Journal Sentinel were not fans of his. Convinced that they are the only ones, Anthony set off to find someone who is. Read the rest of this entry »

SPARTA, Mich. — As Michigan's apple harvest approaches, growers said they've grown increasingly anxious that a tougher immigration climate across the country will hamper their ability to find sufficient workers to bring in the crop.
Georgia's new immigration law appears to have contributed to a reduced flow of migrant workers heading to northern parts of the country for fall harvests, Michigan agriculture representatives said. Growers said they haven't seen as many "drive-ins" — carloads of workers — as they typically see this time of year.
"There are some indications … that the labor isn't there," Pat Chase, salesman for Sparta, Mich.-based Jack Brown Produce Inc.
"That could be a real problem with the rest of agriculture, not just Michigan apples. It's a little unnerving."
Critical need
A sufficient supply of migrant labor is critical for Michigan apple growers, whose crop is almost entirely hand-harvested. Unpicked apples deteriorate after reaching peak condition and eventually drop to the ground, costing growers income.
Migrant workers from Mexico and other countries harvest about 1 billion Michigan apples every year, earning about $12-15 an hour, according to an industry trade group. Michigan agriculture employs about 45,000 migrant workers every year.
"The No. 1 concern of growers in Michigan is availability of labor," said Denise Donohue, executive director of the DeWitt-based Michigan Apple Committee.
"We need skilled workers to handle this."
While Michigan growers may make it through this year's harvest, they say the longer-term labor outlook is growing increasingly difficult amid sentiment among federal and state lawmakers toward tighter immigration enforcement.
Georgia's law, which took effect in July, carries penalties for harboring or transporting illegal immigrants in some situations and allows law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of suspects who can't show an approved form of identification. Also, private employers with more than 10 workers must eventually use a federal database called E-Verify to check the immigration status of new hires.
E-Verify legislation
In Michigan, state Rep. Dave Agema, a Republican from Grandville, introduced legislation in January that would require state government employers or contractors to use E-Verify for each new employee. The law, if passed, wouldn't apply to Michigan growers, Agema said. A hearing on the bill is scheduled for Sept. 13 in Lansing.

"Delete shows", sounds like you're deleting shows from more than the local DVR, which can take a bit longer for each other receiver to report back the status.
Sometimes yes, other times no!
I have 2 of the HR24s stacked on my AV rack which are for my sole use. I delete a show after I watch it and get the slow refresh and it doesn't seem to matter whether the show I'm deleting is on the one I'm controlling or across the network or not.
Of course, when I do some mass deletings I fully expect it to take a bit of time, but not for a single show deletion regardless of location.
For info, both units have more than 50% free almost all the time.

Career and Technical Education means organized educational activities that offer a sequence of courses that provides individuals with coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions, provides technical skill proficiency, an industry-recognized credential, a certificate, or an associate degree …; and include competency-based applied learning that contributes to the academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning and problem-solving skills, work attitudes, general employability skills, technical skills, occupation-specific skills, and knowledge of all aspects of an industry, including entrepreneurship., of an individual. [Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006, Section 3(5)]
The Vision of Arizona CTE is to ensure a dynamic workforce by fully developing every student's career and academic potential; the Mission is to prepare Arizona students for workforce success and continuous learning.
No, the Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006 does not provide funding to individuals but provides funding to eligible recipients, also called eligible institutions, as defined in the Carl Perkins legislation, to support approved Career and Technical Education programs.
Secondary and postsecondary entities must offer at least one approved CTE program that leads to technical skill proficiency, an industry-recognized credential, a certificate, or a degree in order to be considered eligible and must meet all requirements defined in state and federal legislation.
CTSO is an acronym for Career and Technical Student Organization. These are organizations specifically for students enrolled in CTE programs. These organizations engage students through focus on CTE application activities such as developing and practicing leadership roles and applying specific occupational and academic content knowledge as an integral part of the instructional program.
CTE Assessments – Barbara Zalazinski, Assessment Program Specialist, 602-542-3425
CTE Programs – Shea Padilla, Programs Team Leader, 602-542-5049
CTE Student Organizations (CTSO) – Ryan Hamilton, CTSO Team Leader, 602.542.5350
Federal and State Priority Grants – Jeanne Roberts, Lead Perkins Specialist, 602-364-2211
Grants and Management Information Services – Nancy Schmidt, Fiscal Team Leader, 602.542-3823
Performance Measures Reporting – Donna Kerwin, CTE IT Information Specialist, 602-542-7881
CTE Professional Development – Paulett Ellis, Professional Development Team Leader, 602-542-5660
The first step is for the district to look on the CTE webpage at the Notification of Intent (NOI) information to determine if they have the structure in place which meets the requirements for program approval. The district should then complete and submit the NOI online, which will then be verified and approved by the State Supervisor who oversees that particular program. If requirements are not in place, the State Supervisor will advise next steps.
No, CTE funding is not considered an entitlement. Both federal and state legislation stipulate many requirements which must be met in order to maintain eligibility for CTE funding.
Arizona includes 36 specific programs and 2 emerging programs as listed on the FY 2012 CTE Program List (see webpage), and must contain the recommended sequence of courses and all essential elements. The program must deliver all state-designated program standards for that program and must be directly related to preparing individuals for employment in an occupation or a pathway to postsecondary education.
In order to be approved, a CTE program must contain all of the following elements: Deliver a coherent sequence of instruction; teach all the State-designated program standards; be specified on the current CTE program list; be taught by an appropriately certified teacher per CTE certification requirements; evaluate program performance annually and meet or exceed established state performance measures; offer student work-based participation that involves actual work experience and connects classroom learning to work activities; require student participation in Career Exploration for grades 7 – 9; and require a CTSO to be organized for the CTE program area.
