You Can Understand Bible Prophecy
What is in store for our world? What do you and your families have to look forward to? Will the world finally find peace? What must happen before that comes to pass?
...Bible Prophecy explains, and we CAN understand it!
The prophecies of the Bible can at first seem confusing, yet these ancient inspired words reveal many details about end-time events and the major trends that will lead up Jesus Christ's return. When properly understood, a clear, consistent and reliable message is given that is just as appropriate for us as it was for the people of ancient Israel.
You Can Understand Bible Prophecy—read this revealing booklet to learn the vital answers!
What's Inside....
Why Prophecy?
Prophecy is an integral part of the Bible, God's inspired revelation to mankind. Through it God reveals Himself, His plan for humanity and why we are here.
The Fundamentals of Bible Prophecy
Bible prophecy is built around a framework of specific principles and themes. Knowing them is key to unlocking a proper understanding of Bible prophecy.
Jesus Christ's Life and Death in Prophecy
Many are vaguely aware that Jesus Christ's birth, life and death were prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament. But few are aware of the sheer number of prophecies and the astonishingly precise details foretold up to thousands of years in advance.
Promise and Covenants: A Prophetic Legacy
Many crucial Bible prophecies begin with one individual and his descendants. What promises will God fulfill through the family of Abraham?
God Confirms His Credibility to the World
Can we believe Bible prophecy? Through the examples of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, God gave unmistakable proof that His prophecies are sure.
History Proves the Accuracy of Bible Prophecy
Can you believe Bible prophecy? The history of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah is a powerful testimony to the accuracy and precision of Bible prophecy.
The International Scope of Prophecy
Though much of prophecy is focused on specific peoples, God's plan extends to all nations. He reveals how He will ultimately deal with all of humankind.
The End of 'This Present Evil Age'
Many Bible prophecies deal with the time that appears to lie immediately before us—the end of the age of the rule of Satan the devil over the world.
The Coming "Abomination of Desolation"
What is the abomination of desolation mentioned in the Bible within the book of Daniel?
What Is 'the Lord's Day'?
The Lord's Day refers to the end-time events surrounding the return of Jesus Christ, when He will personally and directly intervene in human affairs.
The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ
Beyond the tumultuous times of today lies the promise of a transformed world of peace and plenty-the age of Christ's glorious reign on the earth!
Beyond the Millennium
What happens after the Millennium, Jesus Christ's 1,000-year reign over mankind? This is when a truly astounding part of God's great plan comes to pass!

has the 2nd coming of Christ already occurred?UCG-A
You asked: Has the second coming of Jesus Christ already occurred.
The answer is no. The Bible is very clear in explaining that, following Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, His disciples were told by angels He would return – that is, He would come again to the earth.
In ACTS chapter 1 it is recorded the disciples were assembled with the resurrected Jesus and, after receiving some instruction from Him, they visibly saw Him taken up until He disappeared behind a cloud.
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven" (emphasis added).
We are also told in Scripture that Jesus' return – His second coming – will be vastly different to His first coming. At His first coming He was made in the likeness of men and He died for the sins of the world. Following His burial in the grave for three days and three nights, He was resurrected and now sits in power and great glory at the right hand of the Father in heaven (I Peter 3:22).
Jesus' second coming will be dramatically different to His first coming. When He returns He will come as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 17:14; 19:16).
The Bible teaches the second coming of Christ will be a visible, powerful, awesome event seen by people around the world. It will not be done in secret – as some teach. Please note the following scriptures (with emphasis added):
7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him....
30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
Now notice ZECHARIAH 14:4
4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.
Jesus was taken up into heaven from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:12) and He will return to this exact place. The topography around Jerusalem will be dramatically changed as He establishes the Kingdom of God over the entire earth (Revelation 11:15).
The second coming of Jesus has not occurred yet. When it does, the whole world will know about it.

Gazpacho Recipe. 6 Worthless Exercises—And Instant Upgrades. Why Calorie Counts Are Wrong: Cooked Food Provides a Lot More Energy - The Crux. By Richard Wrangham, as told to Discover's Veronique Greenwood.
Wrangham is the chair of biological anthropology at Harvard University, where he studies the cultural similarities between humans and chimpanzees—including our unique tendencies to form murderous alliances and engage in recreational sexual activity. He is the author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human. When I was studying the feeding behavior of wild chimpanzees in the early 1970s, I tried surviving on chimpanzee foods for a day at a time. The Inuit Paradox. Patricia Cochran, an Inupiat from Northwestern Alaska, is talking about the native foods of her childhood: "We pretty much had a subsistence way of life.
Our food supply was right outside our front door. We did our hunting and foraging on the Seward Peninsula and along the Bering Sea. "Our meat was seal and walrus, marine mammals that live in cold water and have lots of fat. Meat for an Entire Year. Low-carb diets and paleolithic nutrition are all the rage these days, and for good reason.
Compared to the Standard American Diet, both of them are superb. Few of us would dare to take the two to their extreme, however.

Nutrition Content In Spaghetti Squash. Spaghetti squash, a type of winter squash, gets its name from the pale-yellow flesh that can be fluffed into stringy, pasta-like threads.
It has a very mild flavor and, unlike other winter squash, does not have much sweetness. So you can use spaghetti squash in both savory and sweet dishes. Consider eating it warm, topped with pasta sauce or tossed with a small amount of olive oil and fresh herbs, or serve it chilled with sun-dried red peppers, olives and feta cheese.
Most varieties of winter squash contain almost twice the calories per serving of spaghetti squash, which has only 42 calories per cup, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. It's also very low in fat, with less than 0.5 grams of fat per cup. Recovered Harissa Spaghettini Recipe. One of the condiments that survived my recent refrigerator scouring was a three-quarters full tube of harissa - the brick red, earthy, and sometimes potent North African spice paste.
I had it earmarked for a pasta dish I had in mind - long, thin whole wheat pasta noodles, olives, kale, pine nuts tossed in a pan for a tangle with a garlic-charged harissa and olive oil sauce. I'm packing my bags for a quick trip to Chile and Argentina, and thought this would be an easy send-off supper - with leftovers I can bring on the flight. Keep in mind as you head into this recipe that the range of harissas available for purchase is vast - trust your taste buds, and if any of you have favorite brands, give a shout in the comments. One tube might be tastelessly tomato-y, the next tongue-torchingly hot. Marha Pörkölt - Hungarian Beef Paprika Stew Recipe. A few months ago, our friends Ron and Vanessa invited us over for dinner.

Sreshta Rit Premnath: Knot Not Nought
January 25 - March 1, 2014
In 1974, under the auspices of Anka Ptszkowska's gallery 25*, French conceptual artist Daniel Buren painted 8.7cm vertical stripes over the windows of an apartment in Warsaw that would later become Edward Krasinski's studio. In the early 1990's Krasinski applied his signature 20mm blue tape, 130cms above the floor, around the entire studio including the windows that Buren had painted. Both artists conceived of their gestures as being a zero mark that revealed the existing architecture in a space. They claimed that the line and the stripes were not things in themselves, but rather framing devices for opening onto a world. What happened when these gestures intersected?
In Knot Not Nought, Sreshta Rit Premnath revisits this historical moment. He uses it to shine a light on the difficulty of distinguishing between a gesture and an object. Redeploying the coincidence of these two previous works of art, he asks if two gestures pointing at each other can continue to function as framing devices, or are they conscripted into objecthood? Premnath brings to bear on this question a philosophical tradition that investigates the relationship between the things that exist and the empty space that permeates the universe. When we gesture toward an object, this school of thought reminds us, we are also gesturing at the nothingness that inheres in it. The being of objects ties the knot between what is and what is nought, but we have not the linguistic means to comprehend this space. It is here that Premnath turns to visual representation.

Why documentary film-maker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy winning the Oscar for 'Saving Face' was the moment many Pakistanis were waiting for.Anita Joshua
As 33-year-old Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy stood with her Oscar in a Bunto Kazmi designer outfit, she represented the many parts of the whole that is Pakistan; in fact, the sub-continent. What the world got to see was a young stylishly dressed bare-armed Muslim woman — head uncovered — bag the Oscar for "Saving Face", a documentary film on victims of acid attacks whose faces had been rendered featureless.
In the one minute that Sharmeen held centrestage at the Oscar awards, this upwardly mobile Pakistani — she is said to have British nationality but then in Pakistan many hold two passports — told the world that her country cannot be boxed into one definition or seen purely in terms of black and white.
All credit to her co-director Daniel Junge for recognising the significance of the moment and allowing Sharmeen to take the spotlight. Much like her films, she minced no words. In less than 30 seconds she said: "Daniel and I want to dedicate this award to all the heroes working on the ground in Pakistan including Dr. Mohammad Jawad who is here with us today. The plastic surgeon working on rehabilitating all these women… Ruksana and Zakia who are our main subjects of the film whose resilience and bravery in the face of such adversity is admirable. And to all the women of Pakistan who are working for change, don't give up on your dreams. This is for you."
Back home, this was the moment everyone was waiting for: A rare feel-good factor for the people of a blighted nation. For friend of 21 years standing and television anchorperson Wajahat S. Khan, the Oscar was a testimony to her hard work and consistency. "The only thing consistent about Sharmeen is her almost stubborn consistency. Everything else may be subject to change, deletion, dynamism or even evolution. But, Sharmeen is almost martial in her valour to deliver."
Investigative journalism
The eldest of five sisters and one brother, Sharmeen was born to a well-placed family of Karachi. After schooling at the Karachi Grammar School, she went on to do her graduation from Smith College and then masters from Stanford University. She was in college in the U.S. when 9/11 happened. Interested in investigative journalism, she decided to use film-making — in which she has no professional training — to bridge the gulf the attacks created between the East and the West.
Self and on-the-job trained, Sharmeen's first documentary was on the lives of Afghan refugee children living in Pakistan. Christened "Terrors Children", she bagged two awards for her maiden venture and there has been no looking back since. She now has 16 documentaries to her name in the 10 years that she has been into film-making and has been awarded for many of them. Prior to the Oscar, the Emmy was the biggest award that she held for her 2009 film "Pakistan's Taliban Generation/ Children of The Taliban".
Her work has taken her to Afghanistan to see how life has changed for Afghan women after the American occupation in "Lifting the Veil: Afghanistan Unveiled"; Iraq, Syria and Jordan to track the plight of Iraqi refugees in "Iraq: The Lost Generation"; Sweden to capture the tensions between locals and immigrant Muslims in "Assimilation No, Integration Yes"; Saudi Arabia for focusing on the second class status of women in "Women of the Holy Kingdom",… The list is rather exhaustive including South Africa, Canada, Timor, the Philippines and even India where she boarded the Samjhauta Express from the Indian side to find out how fellow Pakistanis were reacting to the baby steps being taken by the two countries towards peace.
Though her repertoire touches upon a wide range of issues, Sharmeen has been criticised back home for projecting the underside; something that a nation prone to believing in conspiracy theories sees as anti-Pakistan propaganda. Part of this is because her films have little exposure here. The same was said of "Saving Face" — which premieres on HBO on International Women's Day (March 8) — but more than being a film about acid attack victims, the documentary focuses on a Pakistani-British doctor returning to his native place to help victims with reconstructive surgery and dwells on the effort made by women politicians of Pakistan to enact a law criminalising acid attacks.

Russia warns of civil war if Ukraine uses force to quell eastern revolts
KIEV (CNN) — Russia's Foreign Ministry warned Kiev on Tuesday that any use of force in Ukraine's eastern region could lead to civil war, as Ukraine's government seeks to regain control after pro-Moscow uprisings in three cities.
Pro-Russia protesters seized government buildings, raised Russian flags and declared new governments in Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv on Sunday.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said that reports that the protesters, including those occupying a regional administration building in the city of Donetsk, are facing a crackdown by Ukrainian authorities are of particular concern.
"We are calling for the immediate cessation of any military preparations, which could lead to civil war," it said in a statement on its official website.
The ministry alleged that what it called "American experts from the private military organization Greystone," disguised as soldiers, as well as militants from the Ukrainian far-right group Right Sector, had joined Ukrainian forces preparing for the crackdown in the country's east.
Late Monday, Ukrainian special forces cleared armed protesters from the headquarters of Ukrainian security services in Donetsk, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov's office announced Monday night.
But Ukraine's interim Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema was quoted by Russian state-run news agency ITAR-Tass as saying Tuesday that the authorities are not going to storm the city's regional administration building.
Yarema said the decision was made after talks with representatives of the protesters in the building.
A CNN team on the ground said pro-Russian protesters appear still to be in control of the building and that there is no sign of special forces nearby.
According to the deputy head of the National Security and Defense Council, Victoria Syumar, negotiations are under way between the protesters and police, coordinated by influential oligarch Rinat Ahmetov.
Donetsk is the hometown of ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, whose pro-Russian government was toppled in a popular revolt in February.
'Anti-terrorist operation'
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the acting Ukrainian Interior Minister, Arsen Avakov, said an anti-terrorist operation in Kharkiv had ended with the arrest of some 70 people.
Special forces police from outside of Kharkiv carried out the operation, in which all those arrested were armed with knives or batons, spokeswoman Natalia Stativko said.
They have been taken to police detention centers in the cities of Poltava and Zaporijya and face charges relating to separatism, violence and taking part in mass protests, she said.
Earlier, in a Facebook message, Avakov said the center of the city had been closed to the public and urged people to remain calm. No guns were fired, he said.
In Luhansk, pro-Russian demonstrators remain inside the Security Services Building, Syumar said. They are armed, having gained access to a weapons storage area at the site on Sunday. Ukraine road police are manning checkpoints on roads going to Luhansk.
On Monday, Turchynov blamed "separatist groups coordinated by Russian special services" for the revolts, which he said echoed events leading to the Russian annexation of Crimea three weeks ago.
"Enemies of Ukraine are trying to play out the Crimean scenario, but we will not let this happen," Turchynov said in a televised message.
Separatism outlawed
Turchynov reiterated Tuesday that he would treat Russian separatists who have seized buildings in the east of the country as "terrorists" who will be prosecuted with the full force of the law.
His remarks to parliament came ahead of a vote in which it approved legislation outlawing groups and individuals who call for separatism.
Of the 450 members of the Ukrainian parliament, 230 voted in favor of the bill. All members of the communist party abstained from voting.
Before the vote, a fight broke out in parliament when Petr Simonenko, the leader of the Communist Party, began to say lawmakers should listen to the demands of eastern Ukraine.
He defended demonstrators who have seized local government buildings, saying they are not doing anything different to what the current interim government has done. He also accused "nationalists" of starting the crisis currently unfolding in eastern Ukraine.
Simonenko was prevented from speaking further by a member of the far-right Svoboda party and peace was restored in the parliament.
Russia urges talks
Russia, which has tens of thousands of troops near the Ukrainian border, said Monday that it was "watching closely" what was unfolding and told Ukraine to stop blaming it for Ukrainian problems.
President Vladimir Putin's government pushed Ukraine to set up a federal system in which regions with ethnic Russian majorities would have more autonomy, and its foreign ministry urged Ukraine to enter into talks over the issue.
"Ukrainian people want to get a clear answer from Kiev to all their questions. It's time to listen to these legal claims," a Foreign Ministry statement read. The Ukrainian government was acting "irresponsibly," it said.
But in Washington, U.S. officials urged Putin's government to disavow the protests and warned that further Russian intervention in Ukraine would bring stiffer economic sanctions than those already imposed on targeted individuals over the Crimean annexation.
Moscow dispatched thousands of troops to Crimea in support of a pro-Russian movement that seized power in the semi-autonomous region shortly after Yanukovych fled to Russia. The Black Sea peninsula was then subsumed into Russia following a referendum denounced as illegal by Kiev and the West
Russia has called Yanukovych's removal a coup and says the interim government in Kiev is illegitimate. It has said it doesn't intend to invade eastern Ukraine but reserves the right to protect ethnic Russians there.
CNN's Laura Smith-Spark wrote in London and journalist Victoria Butenko reported from Kiev. CNN's Kellie Morgan, Nick Paton Walsh, Boriana Milanova, Matt Smith and Marie-Louise Gumuchian contributed to this report.

Leading Young Staff: 10 Ways to Inspire Them Toward the Mission
Churches, businesses, and other various non-profits are full of young staff and volunteers. The organizations that are making a huge impact are the ones that know how to inspire those staff and volunteers to help move the mission forward. However, there are many organizations where young leaders go to die. Don't be one of those.
For the past 15 years, I've worked for a ministry who clearly stated that it existed "to be used by God to transform the lives of people for His purposes and for His glory." The nature of non-profits is aimed at changing lives. Assuming you believe deeply in the mission of your organization, how can you inspire that same kind of belief in the hearts of the young staff and volunteers?
Recently, I came across two outstanding short articles addressing the differences in young staff. One was focused on supporting young non-profit professionals at work. Another addressed more of the uniquenesses of millenials in the workplace today. Taking some of what they suggested, and adding in what I have seen over the years, I've come up with a list of 10 ways leaders can inspire young leaders toward the mission.
1. Embrace the fact that they are part of the mission.
Young staff are not merely employees. Don't think of them as "ants" that are doing more of the grunt labor to get the stage ready for the real leaders. Each day they are involved in the work of the mission, their hearts are being transformed. Know that. Believe that. Jesus taught, confronted, rebuked and encouraged his disciples. He didn't see them as hired hands to get the real work done elsewhere.
2. Give them the freedom to make a big impact.
I wished I would have learned earlier that a team full of vibrant, sharp, young staff can create strategies for the ministry that I would have never thought of. I finally noticed a few years ago that the more freedom to create I gave them, the better the outcomes. They will sniff out busy, monotonous work a mile away. If you give them complex problems to solve, they will often bring back creative solutions you would have never thought of.
3. Provide access to professional development opportunities.
At least allow your staff to buy a book or two each year. Possibly send them to an off-site conference. Young staff want to build into their "portfolio" by gleaning new experiences. We just increased our continuing education reimbursements, and many staff have begun seminary as a result. They might leave your organization once they are done, but you could benefit from their involvement right now.
4. Invite them to follow you, especially into the areas that are normally "off-limits."
About 10 years ago I was invited by our CEO to start participating in board meetings. After years of watching a wide variety of meetings with numerous board members, I have a feel of what a healthy board looks like. Most people consider the board room to be a mysterious jungle. Invite your staff to walk with you and mentor them to a new level of capability.
5. Help them create a 5 year development plan.
A few years ago I noticed one of the leaders I worked with had his staff create a career/development plan once they came on staff. I noticed as his young staff grappled with questions about their strengths, and how they might be utilized in the future.
6. Pay them well. (This won't necessarily cost you more.)
Young staff aren't necessarily in it for the money. They want to change the world. Studies have shown that these younger staff are looking for a cause to believe in. Allow all staff to "get their hands dirty" in the ministry. If your ministry does work overseas, allow them to see it up close every once in a while. Get them to interact with someone who has been impacted by the ministry. This is what drives them, and should drive all of us.
7. Flatten your org chart, at least in how it functions.
Good ideas should win, no matter what your position. This is the way they see life. If your organization is bogged down by hierarchal structure, it will be a massive demotivator for them.
8. Allow them to adjust their schedule.
I've read that flexibility in your schedule is the number one motivator for people in the workplace. To young staff, flexibility is assumed. The rigid 9-5 work schedule from 20 years ago is something of the past. Find creative ways to adjust staff schedules that creates a win-win for the organization and for the staff.
9. Make building community an ongoing priority.
We play hard. We sponsor softball teams, organize an internal flag-football league, have plenty of staff retreats and even an annual bowling tournament. Be intentional about forcing your staff to interact on an informal level. It will help provide the "oil" in relationships when it is needed most.
10. Give them feedback – and not just on a yearly basis.
Young staff have grown accustomed to immediate feedback. Don't wait for an annual review to let your staff know how they are doing well or how they could improve. For them, such feedback is a necessity.
What would you add to this list?

It's around ten years ago, in 2002 and the excitement around the state is at an ecstatic state. The San Francisco Giants and the Anaheim Angels are playing in what many would end up calling one of the most exciting World Series in their lifetime. I'm very young, just around 12 years old and I'm at a Halloween party with my brother and all of our mutual friends. It's dark and there's candy everywhere but little did I know, the real treat was going on at The Big A, without ever even knowing. Until Scott Spiezio led what would end up being a history changing rally in Anaheim, the crowd of adults at the party seemed to be downtrodden, accepting that the Angels would not win their first championship, seeing as they were putting up a losing effort. The Angels would go on to win game six in miraculous fashion that night and the excitement was back.
There it was, game seven of the World Series, something every baseball fan lives for, no matter if their team is playing for the championship that year. My father, Michael, had a little ritual going where he believed that if he didn't watch the game, he knew the Angels would end up winning that game. There it was, the last out of the World Series and he comes upstairs to watch the game with the rest of the family. Kenny Lofton hits a ball up into the air and in a state of grace, it travels down with the weight of decades of California disappointments and the Angels have finally, after so many years, won the World Series. The players rush each other, the stadium loses its collective marbles and I look at my dad, not really recognizing the significance of it due to my age.
I can remember him telling me that he had been waiting for that moment his entire life, even when he went with his father to the "Donnie Moore" game of the 1986 ALCS that will forever live in infamy, I always hear about that story. I believe it interests me because of a fanbase that wanted something so bad that it all fell on one man's shoulders and it simply didn't work out. I remember him trying not to cry and the first thing he told me after the Angels won the World Series that Grandpa Breedlove was celebrating in heaven, having passed away years ago. Finally, the Angels were the champions and although it's just a game, it's more than that. It's every single fabric of a human life meshed together, millions of people coming together for one cause.
Flash forward to 2013, over a decade since that moment. I'm standing outside on the patio, in the cold snowy air of Colorado, having just got off the phone. My girlfriend has just broken up with me and I stand there, not really knowing how to feel. I thought I would have a future with this woman and I had always talked about eventually going back to California and we could go to Angels games with my dad and my brothers. A myriad of thoughts ran through my mind, nothing having to do with baseball at all, except the idea of us going to a baseball game was but one of life's teases.
"you're on your own."
"what are you going to do now?"
It was the farthest thing away from the joy of the Angels winning the World Series.
The next day, I called my dad and he gave me great advice, like he always does but a funny thing happened in this conversation. It somehow turned into a baseball conversation, just like our talks always do. He mentioned to me that spring training was around the corner and baseball is coming back, very soon. I can remember one part of the conversation very well.
"Well dad, at least baseball will be back soon."
"Exactly. Chin up, it's the Breedlove way. Just keep writing."
Baseball has always caught a lot of slack for how many games there are each year but that simply makes the absence of it even tougher for most fans. You're so used to having the game around for a long while and suddenly, it's gone. Last season, the San Francisco Giants won the World Series over the Detroit Tigers and just like that, baseball was gone. It happens every year but unless your team won the World Series, it's usually a pretty rough wait. You are so used to something being around that when it is gone, you really don't know what to do, then. For me, I knew I would keep writing and wait for baseball to come back, anything to get my mind on straight again, like it had been at one point. For others, I'm sure it's the same thing. Thank god a team can't break up with you, well, unless you used to be a Montreal Expos fan and if so, my condolences and I love you Canadians.
Spring training is now back and I can see the spirits of everyone rise, from those who were previously sad to the people who are probably always happy and kind of freak all of us normal people out. You know the kind, they usually go running with their white poodles. Yesterday, the Angels played their first spring training games, two split squad matchups. To a lot of fans, spring training really doesn't mean much because it's simply not the regular season, these games "don't count". What it is, to myself and many others, it's a glimpse into something that's fantastic and the greatest tradition this country has.
There's hints of the future all around in baseball, there always is. Sometimes, those hints of greatness don't work out, like in the case of Brandon Wood. Sometimes they do, Mike Trout being the defining example. Whichever way the spectrum leans, there's always something ahead of each team and every team starts with a clean slate on opening day, which will be on April 1st for the Angels, against the Cincinnati Reds in Ohio. As the date comes closer, we'll all become more and more excited for the upcoming season, one that has many columnists and organizations saying we might win it all in 2013.
Spring training means something to me, it means that baseball is going to return soon, like it always does. The games may not factor into the regular season record but there's hundreds of men trying to get their shot for glory in the big leagues, young and old, those who haven't experienced it and many who want to get what they believe to be their rightful place, back. Most of the players won't get their shot at first but eventually, many do. The newest superstar to the Angels, Josh Hamilton, got back into the league through his performance with the Reds in spring training, years ago, after he beat his addictions to alcohol and drugs. He's now one of the most important players in the league and he's on the Angels, a team that is shooting for redemption.
It's what I consider to be the first real day of Spring here in Colorado, it's sunny and I have my running shoes on. I'm tying up the laces and as I'm sitting down on the stairs to lace them, I get a notification on my phone saying that Spring Training has officially started, baseball is back. I put on my headphones, turn on Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" and stand up.
I think of everything that's happened since the last baseball season, all the good times, all the bad times and I start to run, run as much as I can, until I simply can't run any longer.
Meanwhile, my mind runs to a baseball diamond and I smile, more than I thought I could.
Baseball is back, let's go Angels.

text: Hello all, I recently finished a build of the uclibc-SVN-20080603 book. The tests at the ends of both the cocoon and butterfly toolchains were the same as indicated in the book. Googling around, I came across a debian page with an ssp test program. Compiling and running this code with hlfs-uclibc gcc resulted in a segfault. I also built a glibc version of the hlfs up to chapter 5 and retested the above. The result was the same. The url is: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/408 According to the book: If there is a "Segmentation Fault" anywhere, then something is not right. Any idea's on why this program is not aborted. It seems that this would be an an easy exploit. Many thanks, -Frank

Og:1.o80 Fg:1.005 Spent 1 wk. at 35 to settle old yeast. Shooting for 4 volumes want to know if anybody has bottle conditioned this way? Add 1 pack wyeast and 8.07 oz. of sugar. I have bottle conditioned belgians with this much sugar before but not with fresh yeast.
That makes no sense to me at all.
I did something similar, though I used champagne yeast b/c of its high alcohol tolerance. You could probably use a Belgian strain, but the champagne is cheaper and you don't care about the flavor anyways for bottle conditioning.
Unless you fermented it for several months there should be plenty of yeast still in suspension to bottle prime, even after cold crashing. If you do add yeast, you only need a tiny bit, not a whole packet. I'd advise against using a wine or champagne yeast in the bottles, because it will not only consume the priming sugar, but will also eat the more complex sugars left behind by the original yeast, and could likely result in bottle bombs. 4 volumes is already pushing the limits of standard bottles, it would only take a little more before you'd have a mess on your hands.
Wow you added 8 oz of sugar to a 5 gallon batch???? At 35F no less.... I would put those someplace that you won't take shrapnel damage from exploding bottles. Also, 4 volumes is HUGE. I carb my saisons to around 3 volumes and that's extremely effervescent.
I do something very similar, but I use s-05 for bottling, especially with such a strong beer. I also make sure I use heavy bottles for anything more than 3 volumes.
Well I might drop the volume down to 3.5 and yes I am using Belgian bottles with corks and cages. Yes I did drop the beer down to 35F for 7 days to settle out old yeast. I am using wyeast bel abbey II smack pack. Just wanted to know if using the whole packet would cause any problems?
I use about 1/4-1/2 packet of Safale US-05 for big Belgians mixed into the bottling bucket. Its cheap, its clean, and won't decrease your FG like champaigne yeast can.

Club Members & Friends, It's a long one, folks. Enjoy. Even better, let it sink in and result in action, too. ;-) 1)
UP KODAK'S EASTMAN BUSINESS PARK (formerly known as "Kodak
Park") And, here are
some details on Kodak's history of contamination, from the
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice (CHEJ)
based in Falls Church, VA:
Surface and
Groundwater Pollution After decades of operations and releases at Kodak Park, soil and groundwater became severely contaminated with methylene chloride and other pollutants, which led to New York State adding numerous sites at Kodak Park to the state Superfund program. Kodak Park had and likely continues to have 31 miles of underground industrial sewage pipes; many carried hazardous waste and contributed to groundwater and soil contamination at Kodak Park. According to the EPA, "investigations conducted by Kodak indicate soils on site have been contaminated with metals, as well as volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. Ground water is contaminated primarily with volatile organic compounds, although other constituents have also been detected at elevated concentrations. Contaminated ground water in the shallow flow zones is generally contained on-site. Limited off-site migration of contamination in deeper bedrock ground water has been previously identified adjacent to several areas of Kodak Park."

For many years, Hugh Mitchell worked to preserve the rare and beautiful Hemlock/Canadice Lakes Areas.
His efforts were recognized by the Central & Western NY Nature Conservancy by the award of a plaque which reads, "In recognition of your role in permanently protecting the Hemlock/Canadice Lakes."
Although the City of Rochester had done a good job over 135 years protecting the Upland Watershed of these reservoir lakes, because of budget shortages they were anxious to sell the 7,200 acres to New York State. This transfer was accomplished in June 2010 after more than 30 years of effort to permanently protect the land.

After all, you're the one deciding to spend your hard-earned cash so you should be in the loop. Consumerist reader Salman noticed this kind of transparency in action recently at his local Chicago Chipotle. [More]
The Threat Of Unplanned Parenthood Is One Way To Sell Condoms
No need to resort to flashy gimmicks or big marketing campaigns — if you want to sell condoms, just present an easy juxtaposition with a meaning that can't be missed. A gas station is doing just that with a handmade sign showcasing two of its products. [More]
Thanks, Bank Of America, For Not Burning Down My House Or Killing My Dog
When Bank of America recently decided to scrap its plan to not charge its customers a $5/month fee for using debit cards to make purchase, the bank said it had listened to what its customers thought about the idea. But should consumers be grateful to BofA for not doing something they shouldn't have done in the first place? [More]
DirecTV Accuses Fox Of Misleading TV Viewers
If you've watched sporting events on Fox in the last week, you've likely spotted an ad from News Corp. alerting DirecTV customers that "soon, in some markets, you may lose your local Fox station" as a result of the ongoing contract dispute between the broadcaster and the satellite company. But these TV spots aren't going over well with the folks at DirecTV who have complained to the FCC that Fox is misleading customers. [More]
Nivea Fined For Saying Skin Cream Makes You Slimmer
The distributor of Nivea in Canada has been fined nearly 400,000 Loonies for marketing the "My Silhouette" skin cream as making you slimmer. As opposed to the usually vague nonsense talk surrounding skin and beauty product pitches, this one claimed users could expect a "reduction of up to three centimetres on targeted body parts, such as thighs, hips, waist and stomach."

Another Reason To Avoid Giant Megapixel Point-And-Shoot Cameras
By now you hopefully know that more megapixels don't necessarily make a better camera. For one thing, you can almost double the megapixels of a camera while only gaining about a 40% increase in resolution. For another thing, it takes a lot more than just sheer number of pixels to produce a decent image. Nevertheless, point-and-shoot cameras with ginormous megapixel stats (now topping 12 MP) continue to hit the market. But Ross at Petavoxel says there's another reason to avoid huge MP point-and-shoot cameras: something called the Airy disk. [More]
Ruby Tuesdays' Steaks Too Small In Massachusetts
The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs sent inspectors to five of the nine Ruby Tuesdays restaurants in Massachusetts after a customer complaint.

Pet Store Takes Advantage Of Grocery Shrink Ray
Dan sent in this pic from a local pet store. It reads, "After January 1st, bag sizes will be decreased, and these new prices will stay the same. For the rest of 2009 you will save 12.5% on all big bags of Science Diet dog food!!" I like how they're spinning the reduced packaging in a way that benefits them and the customer, while also making sure nobody is fooled come January 1st.
Internet Speeds Are Lower Than Advertised 50-80% Of The Time
Anyone who reads the fine print when signing up for Internet access knows that the speeds advertised are "best case" scenarios, or more cynically that they're total fabrications meant to lure in customers. Now the FCC, as part of its larger study of how to expand broadband access, has reported that "actual broadband speeds lag advertised speeds by as much as 50% to 80%."
FTC Wants Bloggers To Reveal When They're Being Compensated To Promote A Product

Icon Parking Accidentally Reveals Why Their Service Is Cheap
Eli Lansey took photos of recent Icon Parking ads on NYC subway cars and posted them on his blog. They promise customers "$10 for up to 10 hours" of parking at various lots in the city.

'No Need To Stir' Skippy Natural Peanut Butter Requires Stirring, Or A Straw
As any convenience-seeking American knows, the bane of natural peanut butter is its tendency to separate into an unspreadable sludge of crushed peanut and an eager-to-spill pond of oil. You have to stir the two together to get back to the peanut butter texture you've come to expect from the hybridized brands. Skippy says they've solved the problem, but based on the two jars one customer bought, they're plain nuts (wocka wocka!).

Existing home sales fall unexpectedly
One possible reason for home sales' decline is a rising backlog of applications, the National Association of Realtors said.
Phil Coale/AP
Sales of existing homes fell unexpectedly in August, after strong gains in July. Annualized sales totaled 5.1 million homes for August, down 2.7 percent from July but still 3.4 percent ahead of the level a year ago.
The median sales price of existing homes also declined from $181,500 in July to $177,700 in August, according to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report released Thursday.
In a more encouraging sign, the inventory of unsold homes fell to its lowest level in more than a year with 8.5 months of supply on the market. The level had been as high as 11 months late last year.
One potential factor behind the disappointing sales figures may be the pending expiration of a tax credit for first-time homebuyers. A rising number of buyers are signing contracts, clogging the system and helping to lengthen the closing process, NAR economist Lawrence Yun said in a release. "But the decline demonstrates we can't take a housing rebound for granted."
Outside analysts downplayed the one-month decline. "We suspect it is just a temporary blip in the improving trend rather than a sign of renewed weakness," wrote Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, in an analysis.
This year's housing recovery has been fueled by low mortgage rates and falling home prices. One of the big uncertainties hanging over the market is what happens once the tax credit expires Nov. 30.

AVEO And Astellas Announce New Data Presented At ESMO 2012 Congress Demonstrating The Safety And Tolerability Profile Of Tivozanib In Patients With Advanced Kidney Cancer
Investigators evaluated drug-related AEs versus sorafenib with the goal of better understanding the tivozanib safety profile. The results of the safety analysis showed:
- Investigator-reported adverse events for tivozanib showed lower rates of dose reductions, interruptions, and discontinuations compared to sorafenib: dose reductions (11.6% vs. 42.8%, p<0.001), interruptions (17.8% vs. 35.4%, p<0.001), and discontinuations (4.2% vs. 5.4%) 1
- Drug-related AEs occurred in fewer patients on tivozanib than patients on sorafenib (67.6% vs. 83.3%) 1
- Fewer patients in the tivozanib group had ≥Grade 3 drug-related AEs than patients in the sorafenib group (36.3% vs. 51.0%, respectively). 1 ≥Grade 3 hypertension, an established on-target effect of angiogenesis inhibitors, was more common in the tivozanib group (23.6% vs. 15.2%), and ≥Grade 3 hand-foot syndrome (1.9% vs. 16.7%), diarrhea (1.9% vs. 5.8%) and lipase elevation (0.8% vs. 5.8%) were more common in the sorafenib group. 1
"Our tivozanib development program in RCC is comprehensive and ongoing. With positive safety and efficacy data from TIVO-1 in-hand, we continue to explore the role of biomarkers and patient preference with the ultimate goal of helping clinicians optimize RCC treatment," said William Slichenmyer, M.D., Sc.M., chief medical officer at AVEO. "Additional analyses from our ongoing biomarker program will be presented at future congresses and our TAURUS patient preference study vs. Sutent® (sunitinib) is now underway."
In addition to detailed safety results, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data from TIVO-1 were also presented. 3
Title: Tivozanib Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analysis of Blood Pressure and Soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (sVEGFR2) in Patients with Advanced Renal Cell CarcinomaDate/Poster/Location: Oct. 1, 1:00-2:00pm CET / 7:00-8:00am ET; Poster #796PD; Hall F2
Analyses were conducted using pooled data from patients in AVEO's randomized placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of tivozanib in RCC and from the TIVO-1 study to explore the relationship between tivozanib exposure, blood pressure and sVEGFR2. 3 Patients in the analysis showed a median increase in diastolic blood pressure of 5mm Hg compared with baseline, and also experienced a decrease in sVEGFR2 corresponding to tivozanib exposure. 3 Hypertension and sVEGFR are known to be on-target biomarkers of activity and clinical outcome. 4,5,6 "One of our goals in becoming a global Category Leader in oncology is to develop precision medicines that revolutionize the methods used to treat patients with cancer," said Stephen Eck, M.D., Ph.D., Vice President of Medical Oncology, Astellas Pharma Global Development. "We believe the data showing the combination of tivozanib's statistically significant PFS and its tolerability profile represents a potentially important advancement in the treatment of this disease."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Mackems In A Tizz!
Steve Bruce admitted it was difficult trying to stay positive following his side's 3-2 home defeat by West Bromwich Albion. This defeat now extends Sunderland's recent run to one point from eight games. Oh bugger! Steve Bruce: "You could tell we were a bit anxious a bit nervous, a bit edgy, that's what happens when you haven't won a game. In the second half, for long spells, we looked distinctly ordinary. "That is a lack of confidence. And as I said, with people playing half-fit, or just coming back after injury. That's the recipe for why we are struggling. "It is very difficult to stay positive."

I tried sifting through the multiple threads on rear suspension and nothing has come close to answering my questions. Most of them cover lifts and getting extra height. I'm pretty well versed on what's going on under the hood and around the vehicle, but when it come to the drive line and suspension, I'm pretty damn ignorant. Here's my scenario.
I was under the truck a few weeks back torquing my loose u-bolts and I noticed the OEM 3-leaf pack was flat. No curve to it at all. I found out the previous owner did a lot of towing with the truck so I guess he wore out the rear suspension. I don't have any odd bouncing or anything of the nature to suggest everything is dead, but I'm guessing it's a matter of time before the flat leafs kill the rear shocks. My plan is to put 5100s all around, reuse the stock springs up front, and set the billies at 1.75. I want to replace the flat rear leafs only I'm not looking for a major lift. I'd like to keep it as close to stock height as I can. Or at least level. No funny car stance. I realize I'll get some lift with a new leaf pack but I'm trying to keep it as level as I can. This is strictly a street vehicle. I don't off road and I don't tow. I haul things from time to time, but that's about the extent of it.
What options do I have available for the rear? I'm guessing a set of all pros or dakars will have too much of a lift in the rear and give me that dragster look I'm trying to avoid. I've read that wheelers makes a 5-leaf set that might be up my alley. I'm just completely clueless about this stuff and I'm open to suggestions. Can any of you suspension gurus give me a hand?

LSU Economist says state agriculture is up
The Agriculture business in Louisiana is booming.
That's according to LSU AG Center Economist John Westra.
He says the industry is pushing over 10 Billion dollars for the first time since 2007.
Westra spoke to members of the Press Club of Baton Rouge today.
There he explained the state experienced a seven percent increase in Agriculture in 2011.
He says this has to do with farmers yielding more "feed grains" like wheat, corn, and soybeans.
The econmist also says that sugarcane had a record year in 2011, and the prices on feed grains have risen 50 percent.
"There is significant increases in both production and price for those commodities for feed grains, wheat, and cotton," said LSU Economist, John Westra.

How can we reduce the amount of waste that is produced? And how can we close the loop by redirecting spent materials and products into programs of recycling? All of these questions must be answered through careful research in the coming years as we strive to keep civilization in balance with nature.
Alteration of long-established practices to enhance environmental protection can involve serious financial expenditures. The possibility that these costs could bankrupt local and even regional governments and put U.S. industries at a competitive disadvantage makes it imperative that the best possible science be brought to bear on environmental problems. It also places a premium on finding creative, environmentally beneficial alternatives to existing products and processes. In many instances, industries are finding unanticipated payoffs from process redesign; greater efficiencies save money as well as reduce pollution, and waste streams can sometimes be turned into useful products. In the long run, the benefits of investing in environmental protection will be recognized as environmental awareness grows around the globe.
Since the time 3,000 years ago when Homer noted the smell of ozone created by lightning, people have been fascinated by the chemical behavior of the atmosphere. New techniques of analytical chemistry have fostered a rapid pace of discovery and understanding over the past few decades, allowing separation, identification, and quantitative measurement of chemical species at ever more sensitive levels. Other than nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and water vapor, all other components of air have average atmospheric concentrations below 0.1 percent of the total. Between 0.1 and 0.0001 percent, five more chemical species are added: carbon dioxide, methane, helium, neon, and krypton. Now that modern instruments have lowered these detection limits by up to a factor of 1 trillion during recent years, we know of many other substances whose atmospheric chemistry is both scientifically fascinating and globally important. At least 3,000 different chemical species have been identified in the atmosphere, and more than 50 of these have been detected in locations as remote as the South Pole.
Coal-burning power plants, as well as some natural processes, deliver sulfur compounds to the stratosphere, where oxidation produces sulfuric acid particles that reflect away some of the incoming visible solar radiation. In the troposphere, nitrogen oxides produced by the combustion of fossil fuels combine with many organic molecules under the influence of sunlight to produce urban smog. The volatile hydrocarbon isoprene, well known as a building block of synthetic rubber, is also produced naturally in forests.

Saudi Arabia records 11 cases of Mers virus in Jeddah
Published on Apr 9, 2014 4:15 PM
ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday it had recorded 11 cases infected with the potentially deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) virus in Jeddah, including hospital staff.
Two of the patients died, six have recovered, while three are undergoing treatment, the official Saudi Press Agency reported quoting the Jeddah health authority.
The emergency department of King Fahd Hospital in Jeddah was closed for disinfection after one health worker there tested positive for the virus and subsequent tests on other staff members showed further infections.
Some patients were transferred to other hospitals while the disinfection was carried out, the health authority said.

Defects in the gene encoding the endothelin-B receptor produce aganglionic megacolon and pigmentary disorders in mice and humans. We report that a targeted disruption of the mouse endothelin-3 ligand (EDN3) gene produces a similar recessive phenotype of megacolon and coat color spotting. A natural recessive mutation that results in the same developmental defects in mice, lethal spotting (ls), failed to complement the targeted EDN3 allele. The ls mice carry a point mutation of the EDN3 gene, which replaces the Arg residue at the C-terminus of the inactive intermediate big EDN3 with a Trp residue. This mutation prevents the proteolytic activation of big EDN3 by ECE-1. These findings indicate that interaction of EDN3 with the endothelin-B receptor is essential in the development of neural crest-derived cell lineages. We postulate that defects in the human EDN3 gene may cause Hirschsprung's disease.

Dear Liz, why is It that men feel the need to mess around with your feelings when they like you and you like them to where you are hurt and get mad at them?
St. Petersburg, Fla.
Hi there, and thanks for asking!
Insecurity…insensitivity….bad habit? Some men, just like some women, get into super bad relational patterns, and don't even realize it. Often times they're just used to relating that way. If you really like the guy, you might want to take the time and effort to show him that it doesn't have to look that way, that it can be so much smoother and easier. In fact, you should be able to tell him that you don't roll that way, you won't tolerate it. It may be an easy fix. Some people just need to be reminded of the healthy road, others may thrive on drama and conflict, or be so insecure they always need you upset or concerned. You should be able to tell pretty quickly. Run for the hills if he's a glutton for conflict and argument, life is just too short.

4.5 Graphics Bad. Game Play Great MortonSales | 12/01/2008 | See all MortonSales's reviews (8) To be honest the graphics are really bad but this is to be expected. The game play is good and you can edit all the teams and I like the world tour with your own team. Good game.
4.5 PES6 takes a good shot, but hits the crossbar Adam2712 | 18/05/2007 | See all Adam2712's reviews (7) The PES series is un-doubly better than it's rival FIFA series, but has the Nintendo DS done this latest instalment any justice? Well, Yes and No.The gameplay in PES6 is still as good as it always has been, and is really easy to just pick up and play without playing through the tutorial. Obviously the graphics aren't as good as the PlayStation 2 version, but for the Nintendo DS they look really good, but it's hard to say that, especially when all the players look identical to one-another.You get the chance to play as one of the 57 international teams or club teams, including licensed teams such as Manchester United and Juventus.You still get all of the standard game modes -Cup mode, Exhibition mode, PK mode and Create mode- but, unfortunately, there is no Master League mode; instead you've got the World Tour mode which allows you to take you're created team and face all of the international teams. You start off at the bottom of the ladder facing poor teams such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, but you'll soon work you're way up and face the likes of Brazil and Italy as your team gets better and better.The touch screen is also used quiet well. In PK mode you simply tap the screen on where you want the ball to go, or where you want your Goal Keeper to dive. The touch screen is also used in setting up your formation on the pitch and changing players, which makes organizing your team much easier.The online mode via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is fun, but it suffers from some terrible slow-down when there are too many players on the screen at anytime.PES6 for the Nintendo DS is a good game and it's miles better than any FIFA game, but think of it this way: PES6 on the PS2 is like playing real football. PES6 on the DS is like playing on a football table, while it's still good fun, you'd rather be playing the real thing.
4.5 Great start from Pro evo! Danhirons | 04/05/2007 | See all Danhirons's reviews (17) What a great start this is for pro evo on DS. It's graphics are quite abismal but the gameplay is really good and it's very addicting. Once you've completed it though there is nothing left to do really apart from net play and it only takes a few hours to complete. Very good fun though and well worth a pruchase from pro evo fans!

Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Attendance: 10,556
Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Matt Wieters collected two hits, an RBI and a run scored to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-2 win over the Oakland Athletics at Camden Yards.
Robert Andino and J.J. Hardy added two hits apiece while Vladimir Guerrero and Nick Markakis chipped in with a hit and an RBI each to help the Orioles bounce back after a 7-4 loss to Toronto on Sunday.
Brian Matusz (1-0) threw 5 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on seven hits while walking two and fanning three to pick up his first win of 2011.
Kevin Gregg pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his 11th save of the year for Baltimore.
"I thought overall, this was probably one of our better wins all year. We got some runs across, got some big hits and we ended up winning. When it comes down to it, that's what we want to do," said Markakis.
Adam Rosales had two hits, including his first home run of the year, and Conor Jackson contributed two hits for the Athletics, who saw their losing streak expand to seven games.
Gio Gonzalez (5-4) worked seven innings in defeat, giving up four runs -- three earned -- on nine hits while striking out three and walking one.
Baltimore struck first and took the lead for good in its first at-bat. Andino led off with a single to right and Markakis reached on an error by Cliff Pennington to give the Orioles runners on first and second with no outs. Andino advanced to third on a double-play groundout by Adam Jones and was knocked in on a Guerrero single to left to give Baltimore an early 1-0 lead.
The Orioles expanded their lead with three runs in the second. Derrek Lee led off the inning with a single to center, stole second and advanced to third an a throwing error by Kurt Suzuki. Lee scored on a looping single to center by Wieters.
The inning continued with a Hardy single and a Mark Reynolds walk to load the bags with no outs. Wieters scored on a Nolan Reimold sacrifice fly and Hardy scored on a single to left by Markakis to push Baltimore's lead to a comfortable 4-0 margin.
Oakland threatened in the third, putting two runners on base with two down, but Matusz battled back to induce a flyout from Josh Willingham to end the inning for the A's.
Oakland cut the lead in half in the fourth on Rosales' two-run home run, but were held scoreless the remainder of the game by Matusz and a solid Orioles bullpen contingent of Jim Johnson, Koji Uehara and Gregg.
"The homer got us back in the game. I like the energy he brings to the team and obviously the talent and skills he has also," Athletics manager Bob Geren said about Rosales.
