West Oso's LaDaniel Marshall shines at point guard in Bears' run
When Andrue Haywood decided to transfer from West Oso to John Paul II in the summer, it opened things up for the junior
CORPUS CHRISTI - When Andrue Haywood decided to transfer from West Oso to John Paul II in the summer, it opened things up for LaDaniel Marshall.
Suddenly, the junior wasn't going to be just another piece to the Bears' backcourt puzzle. Now, the junior would be expected to be THE man at point guard.
Still, the move was bittersweet. Marshall embraced being able to take over the reins at the lead guard position, but was saddened by the loss of Haywood, a longtime teammate who Marshall still refers to as a brother.
He couldn't afford to dwell on the loss for long. With four of the area's top seniors in the fold in Raymond Robinson, Willie Harper, Robert Watson and Brandon Scott, the expectations for the Bears this season have been as high as ever.
He worked out hard with his teammates over the summer and earned the seniors' respect.
"I knew that LaDaniel was going to take it over automatically," said Robinson who leads the team with 17.5 points per game. "He has that kind of drive to help us out. He's a good point guard who is level headed and knows how to get the ball to us. He shoots the ball better and can handle the pressure."
Marshall has excelled at getting the ball to Robinson and his other teammates, leading the city in assists with 6 a contest.
"He really does a good job of seeing the court," West Oso coach Arnold Flores said. "He creates a lot of plays and his biggest asset is pushing the ball down the court and creating some looks. He does a good job of getting the ball to other people. He's a player that isn't really too concerned with his individual scoring. He just does a good job of getting the ball to the players who do score.
"Year in and year out we have our point guard serve as the coach on the floor. He's the one who has the authority to run whatever we ask him to do. He's the one that tells the players where they should be and where they shouldn't. He's officially the coach on the floor and he does a pretty good job."
For Marshall, who averages just four shot attempts a game, deferring to his teammates is an easy decision.
"They're not really going to miss many shots," Marshall said. "Especially Raymond down low, Willie shooting 3s, Rob attacking the basket and B-Scott grabbing rebounds. It's great. We've got a lot of offensive weapons available."
What makes Marshall even more unique is the level of importance he puts on his individual defense. Marshall, set to be named District 31-3A's top defensive player for the second consecutive year, takes pride in that aspect of his game like few others do.
"I look to lock up my man," Marshall said. "I also try to help my players lock up their man, but I'm not going to let my man score on me. That's my defensive mindset: my man cannot score on me."
It's that attitude that gives Flores confidence in asking Marshall to lock up the opposition's best backcourt player.
"LaDaniel has always been a competitor," Flores said. "He plays with a lot of intensity. Normally we have LaDaniel guarding the best guard. He does a very good job defensively. He's quick."
Thanks in part to Marshall doing his part on both ends of the floor, West Oso (31-3) went undefeated in district play for the fourth straight year and is making its fourth consecutive trip to the region tournament.
Now, the Bears are just two wins away from earning their first state tournament berth since 2004, and Marshall knows some of the responsibility to get those wins rests on his shoulders.
"I have to improve on my turnovers," Marshall said. "I average like three turnovers a ball game. If I turn over the ball we're not going to win. I've got to bring that down a lot."
The run to state continues when West Oso takes on 15th-ranked San Antonio Sam Houston (25-6) at 8 p.m. Friday at the American Bank Center.
A couple wins will put the Bears at the state tournament, but a loss will put an end to one of the most dominant senior classes to walk the hallways at West Oso.
It's that kind of pressure that won't let Marshall start thinking about next year, when he'll have to take on a bigger role as the lone returning starter.
"Nothing is guaranteed next year," Marshall said. "This group right here is a great group of guys that I love to play with. We've been playing together since I was little. We just have to take it one game at a time. I want to go to state and win it with this group. Next year will be my time but right now it's all about this group."

Customer Reviews
This app is wack
No disrespect to whomever made this app via Apple and I bet it's actually a pretty good app when it wants to work but my phone (5s that I juuuuust got about a month ago) is for real about to start smoking from trying to use it. I sat and waited about 20 minutes for this to download, to try and use it and my phone started to freeze, shut off, restart, all that good stuff that I have so much time for. All's I wanted to do was make a cool video clip of a couple random events that happened yesterday to post on Instagram seeking to motivate people to have a better day and I can't because Apple phones are meant to slow down and not work correctly after you "update" them so you can purchase another newer one when your present one stops working due to their "update". So I downloaded this app to do that because Instagram doesn't let you put together video clips anymore, and now this one doesn't even work. A lot of Wasted time that will never be returned to me due to apples poor Buisness plan they have to keep generating billions of dollars into their own pockets by selling phones that are meant to break after you "update" them. Yall are making money and getting rich but your doing it in a very poor way. Thanks apple. 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿 <here's a whole different subject on this emoji thing, you guys must have been sued for not having the option for skin pigment the first time.
Thumbs down
This app is called iMovie when it can barely handle a ten minute video on the iPad. Has the new 2 GB of ram on the iPad Air 2 been helping? I don't think so. Whenever I have a video over ten minutes and I want to record something or drag something the app waits for five seconds before responding. Did you think Steven Spielberg had five seconds to wait. And I think it's not responding but then suddenly I mess up my entire recording! This was how I had to spend 4 hours on a video when I could have learned that it could have taken only 30 minutes with a MacBook desktop, I don't know the name. Because this app is slow for the slow iPad and it is going to be rated 3 stars until we finds hat the iPad Air 3 has been released with 4 GB of Ram. Well the reason I rated three stars rather than one was because there isn't any other movie maker on the App Store. So good luck Apple when Google releases their nice and simple Google movie. Which is probably not the name it is going to eat called. And why does the review section not let me see where I am typing when the review gets long? I should rate the review section here two stars.
This app is the best app ever. I have used this app for school, fun, and lots of other stuff. Most video editing apps are terrible and confusing. I love iMovie because it is easy, and fun. If you are bored, make a movie or trailer! You can make your voice higher, or lower. You can add background music, or add some sound effects. Also, of you don't want any sound, turn the sound off! Don't listen to the haters out there. You can disagree with me, but I don't care. I would give this app 100 stars. Get this app, your life will change forever! (In the best possible way.). Don't waste your time writing hate comments, try exploring the app if you don't like it. You will enjoy it much more. Thanks for reading! GO IMOVIE!!!!!📹

Kansas Secretary Of State Tells Eric Holder He Better Back Off On Gun Control
After Kansas passed a law protecting the citizens of that state from 2nd Amendment violations by the federal government, Eric Holder got very upset.
The office of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback received a letter from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday, informing Brownback that his state's recent passage of Senate Bill (S.B.) 102, which nullifies any new federal gun control laws within the state of Kansas, will not be considered legitimate by the federal government.
S.B. 102 is "unconstitutional" because in "purporting to override federal law and to criminalize the official acts of federal officers…(the bill) directly conflicts with federal law," Holder wrote.
…Holder concluded by informing Brownback that "federal law enforcement agencies…will continue to execute their duties to enforce all federal laws and regulations," and he then threatened the state with "litigation, if necessary, to prevent the State of Kansas from interfering with the activities of federal officials enforcing federal law."
Well Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State, didn't take kindly to Holder's comments and fired back.
Kansas Secretary of State Kobach Responds to Eric Holder
The letter concludes by saying,
In conclusion, the state of Kansas stands firmly on the principles laid out in t he United States Constitution. SB 102 is fully supported by the Second Amendment, the Tenth Amendment, and the limited scope of the Commerce Clause. The Obama Administration has repeatedly violated the United States Constitution for the past four-and-a-half-years. That abuse cannot continue. The state of Kansas is determined to restore the Constitution and to protect the right of its citizens to bear arms.
If EVERY STATE IN THE UNION has exactly that kind of attitude, this country would be a lot better off.

Plummer Finishes Third in 100 Backstroke Finals at Olympic Trials
June 27, 2012
Former Minnesota swimmer David Plummer narrowly missed a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team after posting an impressive third-place showing in the finals of the 100-meter backstroke Wednesday night at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb.
Plummer, who was a 14-time All-American at Minnesota from 2005-08, missed a spot on the Olympic team by just .12 seconds as he clocked a career-best time of 52.98. The second-place finisher, Nick Thoman, concluded the event in 52.86.
Had Plummer earned a spot on the team, he would have been the first Minnesota swimmer to represent the United States since 1964.
Plummer advanced to the finals Tuesday night by placing second in the semifinals with a time of 53.24, just 0.14 seconds behind the first-place finisher. He also finished eighth overall in the preliminaries with a time of 54.38 to earn a spot in the semifinals.
Four additional Gophers competed in the 200-meter butterfly preliminaries Wednesday, with junior Kyler Van Swol leading the way with a time of 2:00.48, which was good for 20th place overall.
Former swimmer Alex Wold finished 44th overall with a time of 2:02.07, while Brandon Hatanaka and Luke Bushman placing 85th and 91st overall, respectively. Hatanaka posted a time of 2:03.77 and Bushman finished in 2:04.05.
Tomorrow morning's preliminary schedule includes the 100-meter freestyle and the 200-meter breaststroke. The evening will include semifinals of both events and finals for the 200-meter butterfly.

C. African Republic rebel leader faces challenges
DAKAR, Senegal Michel Djotodia showed up for peace talks a few months ago in camouflage and a turban as the face of Central African Republic's rebel movement. Now he has traded those fatigues for a suit as the country's new self-declared leader after overthrowing the president of a decade.
Djotodia, whose diverse resume includes studying in the former Soviet Union and working as a consul in Sudan's region of Darfur, initially signed on in January to serve as the defense minister in a unity government with his longtime nemesis, then President Francois Bozize.
But that power-sharing deal quickly fell apart. Only two months later, Djotodia's forces invaded the capital, and he declared himself president of the impoverished but mineral-rich country for at least the next three years.
Although Djotodia (pronounced joe-toe-DEE-uh) emerged as the dominant leader of the alliance of rag-tag fighters known as Seleka, which means alliance in the local Sango language, some of his colleagues are already saying they never intended for him to single-handedly lead the country after Bozize's ouster.
"We didn't battle to get rid of one dictator only to have another," says Nelson N'Djadder, a Paris-based rebel leader who is now threatening to fight Djotodia for leadership of a nation long plagued by coups and rebellions.
Djotodia, a 60-something longtime rebel, was once a civil servant under Bozize's predecessor and worked at the Central African Republic's consulate in Nyala, located in Sudan's South Darfur state. Recent developments come as little surprise to some observers.
"He has single-mindedly always wanted to be president of Central African Republic. He has been a tremendously ambitious man," said Alex Vines, head of the Africa program at Chatham House, a London-based institute on international affairs.
"In the end he had one vision, which was to take power and he has done that unconstitutionally now," Vines added.
Among a wide field of potential rebel leaders, he managed to position himself front and center, said Louisa Lombard, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley who has been traveling to Central African Republic for the past 10 years for research.
"I think he's mostly been successful through his diplomacy and negotiating alliances with different people and getting them on his side," she said. "It's a combination of being in the right place and having the right ambitions."
Djotodia hails from the country's northeastern Vakaga area, the poorest region of one of the world's most deeply impoverished countries. Analysts say he married and had children while living in the Soviet Union, and speaks fluent Russian and French.
By 2006 he had helped form the Union of Democratic Forces for Unity, known by its French acronym UFDR. His rebels sparked alarm when they seized the capitals of two northern provinces that year.
While the UFDR at the time "claimed to be fighting for greater government investment in the neglected northeast," its leaders seemed more interested in getting well-paying jobs within Bozize's government as part of a cease-fire agreement, according to a report by the International Crisis Group.

Great Perturbations: On George Packer
In his 2000 memoir, Blood of the Liberals, George Packer mentions a post-collegiate encounter with one of his Yale classmates, a young right-wing pundit who had hired Packer—then dividing his time in Boston between carpentry jobs at construction sites and volunteer stints at a downtown homeless shelter—to build him a bookshelf. This was the mid-1980s, and the conservative was a young man in a hurry, tacking confidently into the post-liberal zeitgeist. He was "an apologist for radical laissez-faire economics and a kind of high-Tory moralism on social issues," Packer writes, "with an attitude toward the poor of contempt mixed with noblesse oblige: get rid of the welfare state and they would have to clean up their lives, emulating the behavior of their industrious and charitable betters."
As if to drive the point home, the pundit initially paid Packer for the bookshelf with a bounced check, and tersely commanded the carpenter to gather up some materials left behind at the worksite or they'd be tossed. For Packer, the lesson of the episode couldn't be plainer: "We were no longer equals as we'd been in college and he now felt obliged on principle to treat me in a different way, which is to say, badly." Some years later, the ungracious right-winger made a desultory swipe in one of his newspaper columns at a piece that Packer had published in Harper's Magazine, noting that time had essentially passed him by; Packer, the scribe observed, had been "a keenly intelligent, earnest boy" destined for "great things," but who instead had "vanished off the face of the Earth after graduation."
This year, that same pundit—chastened by a tour of duty as a speechwriter in the George W. Bush White House and an infamous cashiering at the hands of the American Enterprise Institute for urging Republicans to compromise on the 2010 healthcare overhaul—has quite graciously offered a blurb on the back cover of The Unwinding, a chronicle that Packer, now a staff writer for The New Yorker, has published to great acclaim. "The hearts and lives broken in this second great depression have now found their eloquent voice and fierce champion in George Packer," enthuses David Frum. "The Unwinding is an American tragedy and a literary triumph." George Packer and David Frum are equals once more.
Admittedly, this set piece in literary reputation-making is a small thing, particularly when set beside the grand, sweeping narratives of the American Republic's steady erosion under the pressures of a newly footloose global capitalism that Packer patiently erects in both Blood of the Liberals and The Unwinding. Still, it's worth lingering on this curious moment of reputational recalibration, because it says a great deal about Packer's worthy intellectual ambitions (his un-disappearing, if you will) and the straitened conventions of political narrative in our "second great depression."
On the one hand, the post-meltdown convergence of Frum's and Packer's views could be viewed as a heartening occurrence—a long-overdue recognition on the left and the right that real Americans have been plunged into a prolonged state of malign neglect, earning little more than rhetorical condescension and lip service from the leading institutions and policy-makers that choreographed the great socioeconomic unwinding of the past four decades. Perhaps the cocky, check-bouncing, right-wing churl of the Reagan era—best known for helping to craft the invasion-friendly phrase "axis of evil" during the post-9/11 heyday of the Bush doctrine—has permitted shades of gray, and nuances of economic self-doubt, to enter into his Manichaean view of the world. And perhaps Packer, who had famously sidled up to the liberal-hawk consensus during the same grim prelude to the American imperial errand—a posture he painfully clawed back in his book on the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, The Assassins' Gate (2005)—could now speak with renewed authority on the struggles of ordinary Americans to overcome the brute forces of remote privilege and all-too-immediate economic privation.
More glumly—and, as it turns out, more plausibly—one might suppose that the new millennial accord between these old Yale-bred antagonists suggests that the explanations of our economic woes have become depoliticized, unmoored from any clear sense of who exactly benefits from the ransacking of the once-robust communities of working- and middle-class America. Like many other efforts to chart a path to civic revival amid conditions of economic ruin, The Unwinding is fueled by an ardent hope that our political institutions can be made more responsive to our most pressing material needs, but it pivots upon a fundamentally fatalistic account of institutional drift and human agency in our society—one that makes it extremely difficult to imagine just how this long-hoped-for change might come to pass.
Instead, we're left to ponder, in The Unwinding, a chronicle of the fraying of our productive lives (albeit an immensely readable and compelling one) that shuns cogent ideological or political explanations of the causes of our present crisis in favor of a thick narrative description of its symptoms. Nearly every character in Packer's panorama of economic free fall—major and minor, famous and obscure—is a well-meaning and almost always tragic figure, caught up in impersonal economic trials that blow through their lives in the manner of a 1930s dust storm, leaving them bewildered, dispossessed and increasingly desperate to wrest some durable sense of personal meaning from the maelstrom.
The '30s analogy is especially apt here, because Packer models the narrative structure of The Unwinding on John Dos Passos's landmark U.S.A. trilogy of Depression-era social realist fiction—The 42nd Parallel, 1919 and The Big Money. Like Dos Passos's innovative cut-and-paste mimicry of the rhythms of social displacement in the modern age, The Unwinding oscillates between the close-up portraits of its principal protagonists—Youngstown machinist Tammy Thomas, DC lobbyist and civil servant Jeff Connaughton, and North Carolina alternative-energy executive Dean Price—and larger American vistas, evoked through frenetic and semaphoric snatches of period headlines, song lyrics and thumbnail biographies of the era's representative celebrities, from Colin Powell and Oprah Winfrey to Robert Rubin and Newt Gingrich.
But whereas Dos Passos's pioneering use of this technique yielded a rich panorama of the social convulsions behind the dramas of ego, economic distress and global confrontation of his era, Packer's assemblage has a curiously flattening effect. One obvious explanation of this contrast is that Dos Passos knew well enough the social forces his narrative was battening itself against—the destructive chaos of mass industrial capitalism, which leveled both the human personality and the prospects for a humane political future. Packer, meanwhile, can't bring himself to attribute the personal misery and frustration he chronicles in such heartbreaking detail to any particular system of resource allocation, finance or political privilege. Instead, as most of the vital signs of the American economy gradually flicker into darkness across the pages of his saga—as manufacturers relocate overseas, mortgages sink into oblivion, farms and small businesses collapse, and college students graduate into a lifetime of debt peonage—Packer laments a diffuse failure of American institutions and American citizens to stir each other back to life.

Objectives: This course seeks to cast a deep and ample look at the polemic and diverse Cuban films made on the island after 1991, which for the first time were not solely produced by the Cuban Cinematographic Institute, ICAIC. This is an intensive course and its objectives can be realized only through the students' active participation and interaction, both in and out of class and the active commitment to the daily workload that a course of this nature requires. Punctuality and attendance are a must. Among the course's main objectives: 1.Sociological: to make students learn how the Cuban films made in the 1990s-institutionally or privately--have reflected the changes on the island after the collapse of the Socialist Bloc. 2.Thematic: to present how Cuban films of the period addressed a wide spectrum of social conflicts and topics including homosexuality and a wide range of sexual orientations, as well as emigration, women's, family issues, existential problems, and the social crisis. 3.Stylistic: to analyze the diversity of styles and influences utilized by Cuban filmmakers. Cuban cinema is very diverse stylistically and is incorporating the most recently technologies, as well as the new production, distribution and exhibition requirements. Classes will be taught in simple academic Spanish. However, the students will be free to ask questions or make comments in English.+– Spanish Language Course
As the ability to communicate depends largely on a good understanding of the culture, the Spanish course attempts to enhance students understanding, respect and appreciation for the rich traditions and customs of Cuba. The course tries to build the students' ability of language use, especially at a colloquial level, as well as on topics of daily conversation and current interest such as social life, family, culture, art, race, gender etc. The combination of Spanish classes and daily exchange at the students' home stays helps to provide the kind of language interaction in a real life situation that will permit them to expand the vocabulary and grammar studied in class and to develop some comfort speaking the Spanish language. Classes will focus on analyzing written articles, increasing vocabulary and having conversation and discussion in Spanish on various topics. Speakers will be invited to talk about their work. Documentary films and videos will be shown. Students will occasionally visit museums, cultural sites and performances and conduct small investigations on a cultural and social topic.+– Social Movements and Social Change: Zapatismo & Latin America's "Third Left":
Today, newspapers speak of a decided tilt to the left in Latin America (Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Uruguay, for example, all have presidents who affirm socialism). This movement is accompanied, or propelled by, indigenous coalitions, that are challenging even governments firmly in the US orbit (Columbia and Mexico). This was not the case twenty years ago, when, to everyone's astonishment, the Zapatistas rose in revolt in Chiapas. Surfacing the same day that NAFTA went into effect-January 1, 1994, they announced a different vision of Mexico's future. The actions and writings of the Zapatistas constitute an extraordinary case study in which many preoccupations converge: the economic, the political, indigenous rights, women's rights, civil society, cultural memory, and writing that is poetic and political. Focusing on the Zapatista revolt enables us to consider an example of "local" resistance to "global" designs, the ongoing challenge to neoliberal economics and to limited conceptions of "democracy" that condemn populations to invisibility, their cultural memory to oblivion, and their needs and knowledge to subaltern status.+– Cuba: The Revolution and Its Discontents
How do we study a reality as complex and contested as that of contemporary Cuba? What intellectual, political and affective frameworks do we have available? What images of Cuba in US popular culture do we have to recognize and perhaps displace to even begin? What are the competing lenses for examining Cuban history? The Cuban Revolution? The post-1989 period? Can we extricate Cuba from the Cold War frameworks that have dominated US academic (and US political) approaches to the island, at least until recently? How do we locate Cuba analytically-as part of the Caribbean [with its history of plantation economies and slavery]? Latin America [conquered by the Spanish, and strongly influenced by the Cuban Revolution]? In relation to the US [with its "ties of singular intimacy"] ? To other socialist or "post-socialist" countries? As a significant part of the African diaspora? As part of worldwide neoliberal restructuring of economies, cultures, politics? This course will challenge Cuban "exceptionalism," the view of Cuba as unique, unrelated politically, culturally, economically, or historically to the forces and imaginaries that have shaped other parts of the world. We will ask how race, gender, and sexuality have figured in defining the Cuban nation. Finally, we analyze the development of exilic culture and ideology in Miami, "Cuba's second largest city."

Scarp Retreat Model and Exposure History of 'Yellowknife Bay'
December 10, 2013
This set of drawings depicts cross sections of the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Mars' Gale Crater at three points in time going back more than 80 million years (>80 Ma). NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has made measurements indicating that the Cumberland rock target the rover drilled in May 2013 has been exposed at the surface for about 80 million years. Further ago than that, the drill site was covered with about 10 feet (3 meters) of rock, as depicted in the top panel. At about 80 million years (middle panel), Cumberland was exposed as the scarp retreated due to abrasion by windblown sand. The sideways erosion, or retreat, occurred at an average rate of about 3 feet (1 meter) per million years. This pattern suggests that the material with the youngest surface-exposure age and lowest cosmic-ray dose is at the base of the downwind scarp. Understanding the pattern gives the rover team insight for selecting future targets for drilling to investigate whether organic chemicals have been preserved in rocks. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Go for the Green
God can meet us wherever we are, and for golfers, that is often on the golf course. Experience daily devotions with the peace you feel on an early morning course, the excitement of doing well, the enjoyment of time spent with the closest of all friends. This daily round of golf-themed devotions offers thoughts for throughout the year: the Off-Season, the Majors Season, the Golf Season, and the Silly Season. Conceived by the founder of a faith-and-golf ministry, each devotional and scripture are partnered with a solid golf tip to help the reader get to the green. Written in a pleasant, intelligent style that will connect with players of all ages, Go for the Green is a hole-in-one for its target audience.
THE OFF-SEaSOn I n the dead of winter, golf is often the thing furthest from your mind. You might watch some of those sunny tournaments from some warm course in the desert, but your own clubs are stored away in the closet with your sandals and your swimsuit. Nothing is innately harmful about walking away from the game. One of America's finest amateurs in years past, Jay Sigel, lived in the Northeast, and like many of us, he put his clubs away for much of the winter and went about his other business. It never seemed to hurt his game. He was three times U.S. Amateur champion. Jesus was master of many things. One of them was getting away from the routine to a quiet place where He could put things back into perspective, beginning first with God. We can accomplish much when we are busy. But sometimes we can gain more by stepping back, taking a break, and reordering our lives. j a n u a r y f e b r u a r y f e b r u a r y TRuE DESIRE J a n u a r y For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. PSALM 84:10 1 Just because you have the time to play golf doesn't mean you have no time left to dream-- time to dream of a lower handicap, a better driver, a house on the fairway. Though we know by experience that the world is full of traps, we still are coaxed by the lust of the eyes. We see something we do not have and assume that it will replace the missing pieces in our lives. The psalmist saw something so different--so permanent--in the courts of heaven. To spend a day in God's presence is to fulfill the longing of a thousand days. More complete, though, is the new covenant, when Christ's work has restored our relationship with God! For now our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. We can t i p dwell with God, and God with us, wherever we go. Every day is Concentrate that spectacular one day. on a one-piece takeaway-- wrists and arms together. 14 g o f o r t h e g r e e n C a n ' T G E T away ? J a n u a r y You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. PSALM 139:3 Time to get away from it all? That makes sense in the thick of winter, with no sun in sight. And likely, the golf course is on your mind when it comes time to escape. As far as we want to get away from our world sometimes, let's look for something else in our relationship with God--let's look to get closer to Him. For God's nearness is so good.

ROMANS 5:3�4 Golfers must suffer. Of the many truths about the game, this may be the greatest. If you have played enough golf in your life--that is, more than two or three holes--you know much about suffering. Life is full of suffering too. In fact, suffering is one of the great issues for the nonbeliever. But the biblical writers did not shrink from the matter. They met it head-on, and they saw it as a positive experience. In all aspects of life, suffering can produce one of two responses: retreat or advance. When the suffering goes beyond all human capacity, it is then that we find we can persevere only by keeping our Goal in sight. t i p For as believers our Goal and our Source of strength are the when reading same: Jesus Christ.

PROVERBS 18:9 5 We all have seen what happens when we cannot pay attention to our golf game because of other commitments or interests in our lives. "The short game is the first to go," people say. But truthfully, it is consistency that first abandons us when we do not practice. Practice is vital because discipline maintains quality. The Bible is unafraid of discipline. Even though our work is not what saves us (Ephesians 2:8�9), work does improve us. Here's how: --Work provides for our earthly needs. Work is often how God makes provision for us. --Work proves our commitment. We are willing to give our time and energy to what we love. --Work produces character. When we work, we often must set aside what is easy t i p for what simply must be done. Each time we do this, we are no time to putting our desires in their proper warm up?

Our eyes are regularly filled with the land formed by His own hand. For too many of our golfing friends, however, this is where the communion with heaven ends. They defer to a Creator when it comes to the majesty of earth, but when they look at their own lives, they see no such presence. God made the worlds, set them in motion, and ever since has taken one long "seventh-day retreat." But the joy of knowing Christ is that we also know the Father Himself, not just His creation.

From La Russa to Matheny, winning is constant
ST. LOUIS Almost always, Mike Matheny keeps his cool.
That's what you might notice at first about Tony La Russa's successor as St. Louis Cardinals manager, the inner fire without the bombast. It's what you see right now in the glare of October, when the moves pay off big time or fail miserably, and are endlessly dissected either way.
There's a difference in style, but winning is a given.
La Russa managed 2,728 regular-season wins in 33 seasons and trails only Connie Mack and John McGraw. He became the first manager to retire a winner after guiding a heavy underdog to the 2011 title, and is sure the Cardinals got the right guy.
"I'm in no position to compare," La Russa said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I just know that he was always an impressive leader type.
"I definitely know he has the ability. I think he's already made his mark."
Make no mistake, there's plenty of fire.
In Game 4, Matheny took umpires to task over perceived shortcomings. Though every question gets a measured response, sometimes after tough losses the microphone picks up the sound of fingers impatiently tapping away on the lectern.
The manager declined to take it easy on Kolten Wong after the rookie was cut down in Game 4 for the first game-ending pickoff in World Series history, pointing out he knew about Koji Uehara's move.
"He was reminded once he got on base, and also he was reminded that run didn't mean much, be careful, shorten up," Matheny said.
Matheny's playing career as a light-hitting, strong fielding catcher peaked when he played for La Russa and won four Gold Gloves in five seasons.
His steady field leadership made an impression, and his resume jumped to the top of the pile for St. Louis without a single game of managing experience.
Players climbed aboard right away. Pitcher Adam Wainwright credits not just La Russa, but also 90-year-old Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst, who managed the Cardinals to a World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1967 and remains active as a special assistant to general manager John Mozeliak.
"The perfect torch there," Wainwright said from the podium earlier in the postseason. "A guy who was a great leader and a great motivator of men, and a guy who's learned from the best in my opinion."
The Cardinals were expected to fade a bit last year with a rookie manager who didn't have Albert Pujols' big bat for the lineup. They took advantage of the second NL wild card and rallied on the road to knock off the Braves and Nationals before running out of gas in the NL championship series when they squandered a 3-1 lead against the Giants.
Matheny is part of a new breed of manager, a group including Boston counterpart John Farrell, Kirk Gibson in Arizona and White Sox manager Robin Ventura, that didn't require minor league trial and error seasoning.
Last fall, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy thought the Cardinals had the same fire and added, "I wish I could tell you there's a difference."

Says State needs more such investments for development
The government will not permit Lulu group chairman M.A.Yusuf Ali to give up the project for setting up a convention centre at Bolghatty, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said.
Addressing a seminar series on 'Contemporary politics and development' organised by the Thiruvananthapuram Press Club here on Monday, Mr.Chandy said he had sought a report from the Cochin Port Turst chairman on the issue. The Union government had approved the project after completing all procedures, and the High Court on a petition said that if any bidder offered better conditions, it the project should be given to them. Though extended twice, there were no takers and hence it was given to the group. The United Democratic Front (UDF) government was not ready to waste time and delay the project that would provide 4,000 direct jobs, he said.
The only hope for drawing investment was the Non-Resident Keralites and Mr.Yusuf Ali was one who stood for the interests of the State. The controversies over such projects would send a wrong signal about the investment climate in the State. A collective effort was imperative to bring in more investments. The State lost seven years in the row over the SmartCity project, the Chief Minister said.
Chennithala's stance
Special Correspondent writes from Kannur: KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala said Mr. Yusuf Ali's decision to withdraw from the proposed Bolgatty project is unfortunate. Speaking to the media after a function at the District Congress Committee office here on Monday, Mr. Chennithala said Mr. Yusuf Ali should re-examine the decision to withdraw from the multi-crore project.
He also urged the government to hold discussions with all concerned to ensure that the project was not abandoned. He said the government's policy was to attract more investments.
IUML flays CPI(M)
Special Correspondent writes from Kozhikode: Indian Union Muslim League State general secretary K.P.A. Majeed has condemned the objections raised by the CPI(M) against the Bolghatty convention centre. "It is quite unfortunate that a project with immense job opportunities is being sacrificed as part of the internal quarrels and groupism within the CPI(M)," he said.

"The arms: Johnny Cueto started and went two innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He walked one and struck out tow. He was supposed to go four innings. But he felt tightness in his right forearm."
It wouldn't be catastrophic if Leake had to make a few starts in place of Cueto at the beginning of the season since we have way more depth than Milwaukee or St. Louis have.
I think Leake may be behind LeCure and Maloney this spring.I wouldn't be ready to give him the job yet.

From Reds Twitter:
"Johnny Cueto diagnosed with stiffness in right biceps and forearm. Will take a couple days off from throwing, to be examined again Monday."
Hopefully its nothing too serious
Isn't this the same way Volquez started out - a little stiffess, nothing big - and then it became full blown TJ surgery?
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
From Fay:
"–Johnny Cueto said he's been cleared to throw today. Cueto left his last start with stiffness in his right forearm.
"It's better," Cueto said. "I'm OK."
Cueto said he think he'll be OK to make his next start.
Looking at schedule — I haven't talked to Dusty Baker yet — but it looks like the Reds have pushed Cueto into the fifth spot. He's listed at starter for Saturday and for March 24 – the day before Edinson Volquez starts."

- 200 g (1 small) green papaya, sliced lengthwise into serving pieces
- ½ c sliced button mushrooms
- 250 g (around 2½ medium) carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 tbsp patis
- 1 c sili leaves
In a medium-sized paellera (or a large, shallow round cooking pan), heat vegetable oil and sauté onions, garlic and ginger for two to three minutes or until onions are translucent and mixture becomes fragrant.
Add chicken pieces and season with rock salt. Sauté chicken until lightly browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Pour rice into the pan and mix well until the rice grains are coated with the oil. Pour in half of the chicken stock and continue mixing for about 1 minute, then use a sandok or a heat-proof spatula to arrange the rice evenly around the pan.
Pour in remaining stock then return the chicken pieces into the pan. Add the papaya, mushrooms and carrots, and season with patis. Let simmer for another minute.
Place sili leaves on top. Cover pan with foil (or use a pan cover) and simmer at medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until rice has absorbed all of the liquid and chicken pieces are fully cooked.
Makes 4-6 servings.

Storied 101st Airborne marks 70th anniversary
NASHVILLE, Tenn. After months of grueling road marches through the north Georgia mountains, a group of elite paratroopers had to put their training to the test in a trial by fire. They leapt from an airplane, bullets whizzing past parachutes and shrapnel pelting the plane's side panels.
Ed Shames was among them. Now 90, Shames was 19 when he signed up for new parachute units created military leaders who wanted a quicker, more aggressive unit that could sneak behind enemy lines in Europe. This week, thousands of active-duty soldiers and veterans are gathering at Fort Campbell, Ky., to honor the 101st Airborne Division that was created by the military 70 years ago, even as its current soldiers prepare to leave for Afghanistan.
Military officials at first weren't so sure the 101st "Screaming Eagles" would find success. And the day Shames first saw combat turned out to be one of the most crucial in U.S. history - the D-Day invasion of France.
"They prophesized that we were going to fall on our faces, from the very beginning," he said.
On August 16, 1942, the Army created the first paratrooper divisions, with the nation still reeling from Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The 101st Airborne Division and the Fort Bragg, N.C.-based 82nd Airborne Division would go on to redefine war strategies from World War II to Vietnam to the Middle East.
The Week of the Eagles is commemorating that legacy with games, a concert, an air show and memorials to the fallen, with each day dedicated to the major wars that have created the unique legacy of the Screaming Eagles. The event culminates with a division review on the parade field.
The first commanding general of the 101st, Maj. Gen. William C. Lee, said his men had no history but had a "rendezvous with destiny." The Army wanted physically fit, aggressive young men who were a "cut above the rest," said the division's historian, Capt. Jim Page.
Among them was Shames, of Norfolk, Va. He and other paratroopers from the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment earned their tough reputation by making daily road marches up Currahee Mountain in Georgia.
"A 25-mile march for us was just like a Sunday stroll," said Shames, who now lives in Virginia Beach. "We had to walk 10 to 12 miles to get to our training area at Toccoa and then train all day and walk back 10 or 12 miles back to camp every day."
He recounted D-Day, as the Allied planes crossed into Normandy and started taking heavy artillery fire.
"You could hear the shrapnel hitting against the side of the plane and when we jumped out, you could hear the bullets coming through the parachutes," Shames said.
Expecting that the paratroopers would get scattered, the division's regiments drew playing card symbols - the spade, the club, the heart and the diamond - on their helmets so that they could identify each other once on the ground.
Shames said the paratroopers were successful in their mission of capturing key bridges to prevent German tanks from reaching the shore as amphibious troops made their landing. But it came at a cost, Page said: The 101st lost about a third of its men in only about six weeks.

Cuddyer hits 2 HRs, Rockies rally past Giants 9-8
SAN FRANCISCO Michael Cuddyer hit a tiebreaking homer leading off the ninth inning to go with his three-run shot, and the Colorado Rockies rallied from an early six-run deficit to beat the San Francisco Giants 9-8 on Tuesday night.
Cuddyer sent a 3-2 pitch from Sergio Romo into the left-center seats for his 20th homer of the season, 10th career multihomer game and second this year. He also connected in Colorado's five-run fifth to spark the comeback.
Hunter Pence produced some impressive slugging himself, hitting a three-run homer in the first, an RBI double in the fourth and a tying, two-run single in the eighth against winner Wilton Lopez (3-4).
Pence matched his career high with six RBIs. He also drove in six runs on Aug. 12, 2009, at Florida with Houston.
Sergio Romo (4-7) gave up Cuddyer's go-ahead homer, though much of the sellout crowd of 41,171 was already long gone by the late innings. The game ended at 11:17 p.m. after 4 hours, 2 minutes.
Rex Brothers finished for his 16th save in 18 chances to end the longest nine-inning game of the season for each club.
Charlie Blackmon hit a tying double in the sixth after Todd Helton led off with a single against Jose Mijares, then Jean Machi relieved and gave up Ryan Wheeler's pinch-hit RBI single.
Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa left early as a precaution with left thumb soreness. He was denied a chance to move into a share of the NL lead for wins with Washington's Jordan Zimmermann, who beat the Mets earlier in the evening at New York.
De La Rosa's day was done after just two innings for his shortest outing since going 1 2-3 innings on July 31, 2008, at Florida. Next time out, he will try again to match the franchise mark for victories in a season by a left-hander set by teammate Jeff Francis in 2007.
Pence's 20th home run was a high drive to left that hit the foul pole and ricocheted into the stands. He has six straight 20-homer seasons.
Ryan Vogelsong has one win in seven outings since returning Aug. 9 from a broken bone in his pitching hand that sidelined him for 2 1/2 months. He failed to strike out a batter for the third time in 108 career starts - and first time since Sept. 29, 2004, at Philadelphia with the Pirates.
De La Rosa, whose 10 victories following a loss by his team lead the majors, was tagged for four runs and four hits. He remains one win from a career high and had his six-start winning streak end with a no-decision. He hasn't lost in seven outings since Aug. 3 at Pittsburgh.
It was the Rockies' turn to rally a night after losing in 10 innings.
D.J. LeMahieu had an RBI single in the fifth for the Rockies to extend his career-best hitting streak to 12 games, and Corey Dickerson also singled in a run that inning ahead of Cuddyer's homer.

Boston Globe columnist Brian McGrory columnizes on his love/hate relationship with Gov. Romney. LINK
"There are times, too many times, when Mitt Romney is the most exasperating politician on the planet, sliding further by the day to the right, mocking his home state to the rest of the country, seemingly expedient in every action he takes and decision he makes."
"But just when it seems time to wish him good riddance on his way toward a presidential campaign, something like this happens. Romney acts like the real, honest-to-goodness governor he always had the potential to be -- deeply moral, defiantly nonpartisan, crisply decisive, and nonchalantly generous."

The New York Times' Kirkpatrick nicely sums up the current state of Democratic thinking in the Senate on shifting the focus of their efforts from Roberts to the O'Connor replacement. LINK
And it is still unclear just how much Steve Schmidt and Brian McCabe will enjoy this quote from the Democratic whip/Judiciary Committee member:
"'Has anything come up before the hearings that is a showstopper for Roberts? The answer is no,' said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois. . ."
Read on for the Schumer/Reid short list narrowing -- no Garza, Jones, or Luttig for them -- and Sen. Kennedy's list of suggested nominees.
Explain to us again why Democrats expect a President who ran twice for the office explicitly saying he would nominate justices like Scalia and Thomas should give in to those who suggest he should strive for "balance" and O'Connor-like status quo.
"A Texas grand jury has indicted a political organization formed by Tom DeLay, accusing it of taking illegal corporate money as the House majority leader helped Republicans win control of the Texas Legislature and keep Congress in GOP hands," reports the Associated Press.

The Houston Chronicle reports that the Travis County DA Ronnie Earle said he hasn't ruled out possible legal action against DeLay, "No one's off the hook. The investigation is ongoing." LINK

Dark political cloud threatens Mexico's sunshine law
Proponents of the "reform" insist that there will be neither "quotas nor cronies" in choosing the next IFAI commissioners — an affirmation that doesn't pass the laugh test. The Senate will name the newcomers within 70 days.
At times, commissioners have been their own worst enemies. A public donnybrook broke out in early 2013 over selecting the body's new president, with loser Trinidad Zaldivar blasting the "inexperienced and lazy" winner. This incident aside, 98 percent of the 28,000 cases resolved over the past four years have been unanimous votes.
Several commissioners have been slammed for attending conferences in exotic locales with foreign counterparts. In light of their penchant for expensive international junkets, the hypocritical senators are like the pot calling the kettle black.
Reconfiguring IFAI means that Mexico — which came in 106th out of 177 countries examined in 2013 — will fall even lower in the "Corruption Perception Index" disseminated by Transparency International. Openness-averse PRI stalwarts will cheer the descent.
