Just in case you were wondering where you stand with our beliefs.
This *is* a Catholic board and it seems to be escaping a lot of people what we believe. Under *NO* circumstances is a direct attack on the baby ever allowed.
I think the difference is instead of attacking someone and saying "Just don't call yourself Catholic." One could approach it by saying "Your believes are so different how do you identify and paractice catholisizm?" that would lead to a conversation rather than "Just don't call yourself Catholic." that leads to someone putting up a wall and becoming defensive and then arguements arise and no one learns but feels cruddy.
While I might not consider them a vegetarian, to use your exsample, they might still and might be more open to change if they were talked to in a less attackful manner.

What Liz says is true. When I first was on this board and I was told I wasn't Catholic it really hurt. I completely went on a rampage and argued it til I was blue in the face. I know with my personal journey through this Faith, my parents, godparents, cousins, sisters....all of them said ABC was okay, condoms were fine, there was nothing wrong with co-habitating before marriage, and on and on. THAT was my definition of being Catholic. Not that I knew any better.
There has to be a better way to reach out to someone who is where I was that doesn't involve defaming what they believe to be true, even if it is WRONG. I don't know. I just wish there was a gentler way to be honest without coddling them. You know?
I think its a lose/lose situation. :(

MissMoneyPenny - I read your link which pretty much states what is in the catechism - thank you. I just don`t understand what the difference is (being a medical person) between removing a diseased uterus and a diseased placenta. The placental hormones are often the cause of the hypertension, so removing the placenta removes the problem directly (hence why other pregnancies don`t necessarily share this same complication). We remove other diseased placentas - like in the cases of molar pregnancy.
This is where I struggle with the issue, and many other faithful catholics struggle with these issues as well. It is not black and white. I am okay with struggling with this, and I think those who don`t struggle are lucky that they aren`t faced with these issues and that it isn`t a burden in their faith life - what I disagree with is when people say there is no room for struggling but when your conscience is burdened by these issues, you also have a duty to inform and respect the conscience that God gave you. When other posters state that they are struggling and why, informing them is helpful, but stating that they are not Catholic for struggling is decidedly unhelpful and also is simply not true.

Struggling with a Church teaching and working to understand it is different than saying "This is what I believe and I know it is against the Chruch and I do not really care because God knows my heart..." or some other completely nonsensical excuse.
I believe that is the point posters are trying to get across. We all struggle with different aspects of our faith, but to be Catholic means that you need to uphold all of the Church's teachings. Not pick and choose which ones work for you.
Always open to the blessing of life.
To that point, Kellie, some people who ARE struggling will come off as "This is what I believe and I don't care if its against the Church's teachings." That attitude in and of itself is a struggle!
Through my hard headed denial of the teachings of the Church and my adamant support to the contrary, it was all on the road to the Truth. We just all get there a little differently.
I pray that all of those who are where I was then are on that SAME path and that they get to the Truth sooner rather than later. I know its VERY hard! The more stubborn and hardheaded you are the longer it will take! For sure!

Good point, Liz. Thanks.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
We talked about this at the Pastoral Council meeting last time. I told our priests our parish can handle the tougher issues. And I said to them, it doesn't matter *how* any message is said, if 99% of the people agree it is said in love and charity, but did not waiver from the Truth of the Church, there would always be that 1% LOUDLY VOCALIZING DISSENT and hiding behind 'kumbaya' approaches.
You'll always piss someone off, in the end.
Yes, we can *always* strive to do better on this board, but people who lurk or don't understand the Faith have work to do too, I think we can all agree.
And typically on this board, the ones who vocalize their dissent loudly are probably that 1% as well.

There are a lot of subtle distinctions in Church teaching that don't make sense to me. But I feel at peace knowing that people who are educated and love the Lord--and are actually trained in moral theology--are the ones making these distinctions.
pssst Anna, I think you meant Jessica (edit oh nevermind, I see Liz posted in response to you as well ... I think they both made good points lol).
By the way, even if we don't understand all the distinctions, the fact remains that a procedure that is for the purpose of ending the baby's life (ie. direct abortion)--which is what took place in that situation that keeps being brought up--is NEVER allowed. That IS a black and white principle, even if the overall question of what to do in emergency situations is not black and white. I'm not really sure how many more ways there are to say that.

ROXBURY, Mass. -– Tajanay Veiga-Lee was all too familiar with the sinking feeling of letting a game slip through her fingers. Not this time.
The junior point guard scored 23 points with six rebounds and three steals to propel Fenway to a 57-34 victory over defending Boston City League champions, O'Bryant, at Madison Park High School.
With the win, Fenway erased last season's 50-43 loss at the hands of the same O'Bryant squad, and Veiga-Lee didn't dispel that last year's loss provided some needed motivation.
"I knew we had to come out and play hard. Last year we lost to them and this year we didn't want to lose so we just kept going and going and we won," said the junior guard, who was named the tournament's MVP. " It just felt great to win if you ask me. Made us feel good to know that we can win."
Veiga-Lee and the Lady Panthers now move on to the states after winning their last 13 out of 14 games.
"We come to play every night –- who ever has us is going to have a tough game (because) we come to play and we like to play good competition and we enjoy it so we look forward to it," said Fenway first-year head coach John Rice. "We had a good group coming in and we just changed up our system and we put defense first."
Defense was the name of the game for the first four minutes of play as Fenway jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead behind the interior defense of 6-foot-2 freshman center Jalissa Ross. Ross, who just missed on a double-double with eight points and 11 rebounds, dominated the paint limiting the Lady Tigers to a free throw in the first 3:57 of play as Fenway led 10-1 midway through the first quarter.
Vieiga-Lee was just warming up as the tournament MVP hit three-of-four three pointers in the first half alone. Viega-Lee's second three-pointer of the first stanza started off the second quarter and after Cadieja Matthews (16 points; 6-of-7 from charity stripe) hit two free throws, Fenway led comfortably 20-6 with six minutes left to play in the first half.
"(Veiga-Lee)'s one of the best players in the state and all coaches try to push their players but you can clearly see she is going to play Division 1 basketball and she has no weaknesses in her game at all," said Rice. "She's unselfish, she scores when she has to, handles (the ball), she's quick – great all-around game under the pressure."
O'Bryant had plenty of opportunities on the glass all game. As a team, the Lady Tigers ripped down 24 offensive rebounds but still trailed at the half 27-11. The Lady Tigers didn't roll over though and opened the second half with outstanding defense of their own as Ayana Green swiped two steals on Fenway's first two possessions to spark an 8-0 run out of the gates to cut the Lady Panthers lead in half, 27-19, with 4:11 left in the third quarter.
"Talent has (always) been here and we expected a tough battle," said Rice.
But Veiga-Lee's magic was at it again as an offensive rebound put-back swung the pendulum back the Lady Panthers' way. After Viega-Lee reached the 20-point mark with seven minutes left to play in regulation, Fenway was back out in front 41-22 early in the fourth quarter.
Veiga-Lee deferred to her team and head coach for turning last season's loss into a victory in 2012.
"We just played as a team, my team stepped up and we did it," said Veiga-Lee. "Oh, he's the best coach, he really helped us out and you listen to him – you win."

Former Vermont fire chief faces embezzlement chargeThe Associated Press | February 26,2013BENNINGTON — A former Vermont fire chief has been accused of fraud and embezzlement stemming from a department-sponsored raffle.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette says people who won prizes in the raffle never received them. They also say money paid for raffle tickets was never turned over to the department.
Joseph Hayes was Bennington Rural Fire Department chief. He lost his bid to be re-elected as chief last month.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/XDg3A5) Hayes was cited for false pretenses and embezzlement. His wife, Angela, was cited as being an accessory to the false pretenses charge.
Hayes is on probation after pleading guilty last month to a disorderly conduct charge. That stemmed from an incident at an emergency scene last June where Hayes threw a flashlight at a vehicle.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

The Quiksilver team DVD makes me think about the time I met Suzy McBoots at the State Fair. Suzy and I rode the hurricane and shared an elephant ear. I would have preferred a cotton candy but Suzy loves elephant ears so I gave in. After the rides we saw three ducks - a horse - and a goat talking about where to go for drinks after the fair. Really though - the DVD is great. I used to ride 50+ days a year and there's not a chance I could make it on this DVD. The Quik team is sick. They really kill it in the video. Totally Radical.

I'm fixing up a friend's bike and the teeth on the jockey wheels on the Deore mech are worn out. I have a pair of good condition Shimano jockey wheels that are the same radius but about 2mm wider at the centre, plus I have fixing bolts that are long enough to hold them securely.
Will it be OK to swap them? I know that I will have to adjust the movement on the mech. It's an 8 speed cassette.

Mayor seeks clarificationOctober 24,2013
Mayor seeks clarification
Regarding the article that appeared in The Times Argus about the public advocacy of Montpeliers economic development director, I disagree with the articles tone, direction and implications, but I understand that you might have a different view. In that regard, it is fair game as a public official to face criticism in the press.
There are two matters that I do think are important and I would like to correct them.
First, the concern that I expressed to the city manager was about an employee advocating, through her city position, for the consolidation of certain state agencies. That policy is not in the citys best interests and has not been approved by the City Council. That is a different issue than the creation of a state bank. I informed the city manager more than one month ago that I would recuse myself from any discussion of the state bank issue in my role as mayor.
Second, your article says that I wrote a memo forbidding Ms. Hallsmith from voicing her political opinions publicly. That statement is simply untrue. I have never had any communication with Ms. Hallsmith about this issue.
Ms. Hallsmith clearly has a right to pursue her own political interests on her own time. The objection I expressed to the city manager was the use of her city position to promote a policy of state agency consolidation that seems clearly contrary to the interests of the city.
Thank you for correcting the record on these issues.

Respond to Review of Baru
by sirhin
Review: As opposed to the previous commenters, I've visited this place twice and both times, I went to the fifth floor - where the expensive stuff is. The first time, I went for their 10-course meal as a part of the Vegan Food Tour I was a part of under O'ngo Foods. The second time, I took some friends and we ordered the 15-course meal. It's a bit pricey but the food variety and quality was well worth it - it was both eye candy and a treat for your taste buds! Obviously, you wouldn't come in regularly but if you ever have the chance, treat yourself. :) UPDATE 1/2/2015 I finally got the chance to visit the 2nd floor on my last visit to Korea... For both lunch and dinner. When asked, they reassured me that they did not use onion or garlic in any of the food (the 5th floor does unless you request them not to). This place was very informal, compared to the 5th floor. For lunch, we got the temple style buffet. You get your 4 wooden bowls and then you fill 'er up! The food isn't gourmet by any means but it is on the light side and quite delicious. They offered several sides, soup, and various kimchi. Also, they have THE best cabbage kimchi I have ever had the honor of tasting. I need the recipe!! Not salty and perfect amount of sour. There was a side dish of rather tough greens... But it definitely had a ton of fiber. Though not quite delicious, it was certainly healthy and I got seconds. ^^ For dinner, we returned and decided to order. The buffet was still offered, but there is a menu with various items, but we ordered the kimchi stew and the veggie Katsu combo. Both were delicious but my favorite was the kimchi stew. Oh goodness, my mouth still waters just thinking about it! All in all, the 2nd floor was great. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It's largely self-serve and help (you put up the dishes yourself after you finish). If I lived in Seoul, I'd definitely make regular visits! Updated from previous review on Wednesday October 31, 2012

Brewers Sign Jim Edmonds
It's easy to get caught up in baseball's numbers, to forget just how talented major league players are — even those .230 hitters off the bench.
It's easy to forget the human side of the game, the importance of leadership, the need for team chemistry.
It's easy to forget that statistics tell us only part of the story, not the whole.
It's easy to see how sabermetrics, zone ratings and slugging percentages can mislead teams like the Cubs to sign a Milton Bradley vs. a Mark DeRosa.
And, of course, it's easy to laugh at the notion that a 40-year-old Jim Edmonds can still pick'it in center field or hit home runs better than that 24-year-old prospect can.

Issues to Consider When Sharing Care
Need Professional Help? Talk to a Lawyer.
Sharing care is different from the other sharing arrangements we cover in this book, because it involves sharing responsibility for another person. As such, it raises some unique concerns.
Why Share Care
When you share care, you are trusting others with your own care or the care of the people you love the most. This is clearly quite different from sharing possessions or space, and perhaps more anxiety-provoking. But many common forms of child and elder care actually involve sharing, even though they aren't necessarily viewed that way. In day care centers, camps, schools, and after-school programs, for example, children from many families come together for care and education. Elder care facilities, senior centers, and government and community services for elders also gather people together for care and companionship.
The sharing arrangements we cover in this chapter add another benefit to the cost savings, companionship, and efficiency of these familiar models: control over, and participation in, the caregiving process. For example, in a babysitting cooperative (see Solution 1, below), each family participates in running the program by helping with administration and providing the actual care for the kids. Similarly, if you hire someone to provide care to a parent and a neighbor's parent, you and your parents get to decide whom to hire, how much time the care receivers will spend together, what the caregiver will help with, and much more.
This opportunity to shape and participate in the caregiving process goes a long way toward making it possible to get help with our caregiving responsibilities. For some parents, the thought of sending a child to full-time day care raises concerns—or even guilt—over questions like: Will my child be safe? Will my child develop properly? Will my child be happy? Will my child miss me? Will I miss watching my child grow up? Similarly, some who have considered seeking care for an aging parent have had to wrestle with these issues: Will my parent be well cared for? Will my parent suffer neglect or abuse? Will my parent resent me? Am I treating my parent like a child? When we know the caregiver, participate in providing care, and manage the process, many of these concerns are alleviated. Knowing that we and our chosen caregivers are doing a good job makes it possible to share the sometimes tremendous stress and burden of providing care on our own.
For those who need care, opportunities to make choices and act independently can be too few and far between. Paid care can be costly, but it may not be possible for elders and adults with disabilities to live on their own without some assistance. Sharing can close the gap: Partnering with another adult who needs care can make it less expensive to hire paid help. If you can find someone whose skills and needs complement yours, all the better: Your share can be free. For example, perhaps one friend no longer drives but is otherwise physically active, while the other has physical disabilities but drives. A rides-for-chores exchange could meet everyone's needs.
Involving the Person Receiving Care
Unlike the other arrangements we cover in this book, some of the solutions in this chapter require you to consider not only your own needs and those of your sharing partner(s), but also the needs of the person receiving care. In some cases, the person receiving care can't make decisions or offer detailed feedback. A very young child, an elder with advanced dementia, or an adult with certain disabilities won't participate much in care decisions. However, older children and many elders will want to have a say in—or be in charge of—decisions like who will provide care, other children or adults with whom they might share care, and what the care will include.
- Talking with your kids. Let your children know that their opinions about how they're taken care of matter. And take the time to find out what those opinions are: Kids often don't communicate as clearly and quickly as adults, so let the conversation be as long (and perhaps, as scattered) as it needs to be. Try not to interrupt or to use up all of the airtime with that well-meaning parental tendency to explain everything at great length.
- Talking with adults who need care. A sense of independence is enormously important to most elders and people with disabilities. Having a say in their own care can go a long way towards preserving independence and control. Sit down with the adults whose care you're helping with and find out what's important to them in a care situation, what they might not want, and how they want their day-to-day routines structured. It's fine to suggest a plan you've developed, but try to offer genuine opportunities for input rather than presenting it as a done deal.

Bank of America Upgrades Linn Energy Amid SEC Review
was continuing to support Linn Energy as its leading outside shareholder.In a letter sent to Barron's published on June 22, Cooperman noted that Linn's non-GAAP distributable cash flow metric would, by definition, exclude the costs of its capitalized energy hedges. In response Barron's said Linn's deduction of those costs from Ebitda and DCF presented an "incomplete and overly optimistic picture" of the company's financial health. It favors GAAP metrics such as Linn's quarterly net loss of $222 million. Linn Energy hedges its energy price risk about four-to-five years into the future, in an effort to minimize the volatility of its oil and gas production revenue. The company said in recent investor presentations it has stopped entering into new put contracts and will favor costless swaps that historically have made the bulk of of its hedges. Through a spokesperson, Omega Advisors declined to add further comment on Linn Energy in the wake of the SEC's informal review. Omega Advisors is Linn Energy's largest outside investor, with a 3.05% holding in the company's shares worth more than $200 million, according to March 31 SEC filings compiled by Bloomberg. Omega also owns 1.96% of LinnCo, the data show. Jim Cramer, founder of TheStreet and contributor to Real Money Pro, currently owns Linn Energy shares in his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust, along with co-portfolio manager Stephanie Link. Cramer has supported Linn Energy and invited CEO Mark E. Ellis on his CNBC show Mad Money to rebut Barron's analysis. On July 2, Link said in a Real Money Pro post that the charitable trust would sell 1,400 Linn Energy shares at $29 apiece given the SEC's informal review. "Our rules have always been to sell a stock with an SEC investigation -- because we have no edge in knowing what the outcome will be," Link wrote, while noting that the company's net asset value (NAV) remains unchanged at $40 a share and it continues to carry a 8.7% dividend yield. Link said Action Alerts PLUS would continue to own 1,000 Linn Energy shares after its stake sale, roughly 1.2% of the overall portfolio. Cramer echoed the decision later in the day on Mad Money. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York Follow @antoinegaraPrior to Linn's disclosure of the SEC's review, some prominent Linn Energy shareholders had supported the company's accounting practices and the sustainability of its dividend payouts. In the wake of Hedgeye's analysis, TheStreet first reported Leon Cooperman-run hedge fund Omega Advisors

text: It's amusing to see people getting irritated when their ipad2 is getting the axe which is basically just a few months younger device than ipod 4g. I can too say that "iPod 4 can run MC4 very well, but can't run a crappy triniti game? I don't think so!" but then people will start that argument about how old it is when ipad2 itself is almost as old ipod 4g is.Double standards everywhere,anyway none of it is aimed at any particular person.

Whispers in the wind
Are calling, stalling, and off again,
Eddying, then flying
Among the reeds and weeds and trees,
Taking sentimental sentience with them
Like twisting tendrils,
And striating, fading fingers of mist,
We sense them, endearing, like a light touch on the inner wrist
As they cease to last, and pass
From command and consciousness.
They drift away like smoke
From fires of unfolding,
Burning away at the source of hope,
Sculpted in those heady days and personal nights
Which made us who we are.
And yet we stand,
As mellow memories slide through our hands,
Their failing forms falling
Like grains of sand, our triumphs and our sins.
They tumble through our cracked hourglass
Now open to the winds.

Pilar Poty Group
A very moving story is that of Maria Isabel T., whose work is washing clothes. She says that through the loan, she has been able to improve her business quite a lot, as well as her income and her standard of living.
She reports that with the loan, her life has improved greatly. According to Maria, the work of the Foundation is very important because she never found this kind of opportunity elsewhere, since she is very poor.
She is requesting the loan to buy a washing machine.
Una historia muy conmovedora es la de la Sr. Maria Isabel T. quien se dedica a la lavar ropa, nos comenta que mediante el crédito pudo mejorar bastante su actividad y su nivel de vida e ingreso económico.
Ella nos comenta que mediante el préstamo su vida mejoro bastante.
Según la Sra. Maria mencionó que la actividad que realiza la Fundación es muy importante ya que ella nunca encontró este espacio en otro lado por ser muy pobre.
Solicita el préstamo para la compra de un lavarropas.
Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

No matter how much you get out, how often you dine, how far and wide your tastes range, eventually you'll come across a dish that you have no idea how to eat. There will be implements. There will be ingredients both familiar and strange. There will be plates and bowls and a whole crowd of gawking locals who you suddenly feel are watching you--just waiting for you to put the wrong thing in the wrong place and bring shame to yourself and your people.

But at a place like Huong Binh (which I reviewed this week), no amount of shame or humiliation could keep me from digging in and eating everything put before me. And lucky for us, intrepid photographer Peter Mumford followed right along behind me taking pictures of all the best that Huong Binh had to offer.
Bringing shame to myself and my people--there are days when that more or less defines my raison d'etre. Fifteen years in kitchens, nearly ten more spent eating professionally and writing about it amateurishly, and I still can be bewildered by the simple interactions between knife, fork and food--especially when there are no knives, no forks and I'm not completely sure what is food and what is decoration.

So if you're looking for a little bit of a primer before heading down into the I.D. this weekend for duck soup and crepe shooters, check out the slideshow we have running and see what's waiting for you. The only thing better than the pictures we have are eating the dishes themselves, and I promise you won't be disappointed by either.

Saturday's American League Capsules
Sunday, September 30, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer to move into at least a tie for the lead in all three triple crown categories and Justin Verlander struck out eight in seven innings to help the Detroit Tigers stay in front in the AL Central with a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Cabrera's blast in the eighth inning off Casey Fien was his 43rd home run for the year, moving him into a tie with Texas star Josh Hamilton for the AL lead. He also leads the AL in batting average (.327) and RBIs (136) as he looks to become the first player since 1967 to lead the league in all three categories.
Verlander (17-8) allowed four hits and one unearned run to drop his ERA to 2.64 for the Tigers, who moved two games ahead of the Chicago White Sox in the division.
CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Moore pitched one-hit ball into the sixth, Matt Joyce homered twice and the Rays stayed three games behind in the chase for the second AL wild card by beating the sliding White Sox.
Tampa Bay, with nine wins in 10 games, remained three games out of the second wild card behind Oakland, which beat Seattle 7-4 Saturday.
Moore (11-11) went 5 1-3 innings with two walks and four strikeouts. Jeff Keppinger and Chris Gimenez also homered for the Rays.
Whit the White Sox trailing 10-0 in the eighth, pinch-hitter Orlando Hudson hit a grand slam off reliever Chris Archer — Chicago's fourth hit all day.
Chris Sale (17-8) gave up five runs and seven hits in just 3 1-3 innings, his shortest start of the season.
ATHLETICS 7, MARINERS 4, 10 innings
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Josh Donaldson hit a tying two-run home run in the ninth inning and Brandon Moss hit a game-ending three-run homer in the 10th, and the Athletics gained ground on the first-place Texas Rangers with a stunning win over the Mariners.
Coco Crisp singled off Oliver Perez (1-3) leading off the final inning for his fourth hit. Stephen Pryor entered with one out and walked Yoenis Cespedes on four pitches.
Moss hammered the first pitch against Pryor well over the wall in right for his 21st home run, sending Oakland streaming out of the dugout to celebrate its major-league leading 14th walk-off win.
The A's are 2½ games back of Texas in the division and 2½ ahead of the Los Angeles Angels for the final wild card.
TORONTO (AP) — Adeiny Hechavarria doubled home the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning and the Blue Jays beat the Yankees, trimming New York's lead atop the AL East.
Toronto's Rajai Davis homered and had three hits as the Blue Jays increased the pressure on the Yankees, who wasted several opportunities early.
Shawn Hill (1-0) pitched three innings of scoreless relief for the win and Casey Janssen closed it out for his 21st save in 24 chances.
Andy Pettitte's stretch of 11 scoreless innings since his return from a broken lower left leg was halted in the first when Davis hit a one-out solo homer to left, his eighth.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis hit his 30th home run, rookie Manny Machado lined a go-ahead shot in the seventh inning and the Orioles climbed into a tie atop the AL East by defeating the Red Sox.
After finishing in the division cellar in each of the previous four seasons, Baltimore (91-67) is now in first place with the New York Yankees. Both teams have four games left.
The Yankees lost to Toronto before this game started, so the Orioles knew they would earn a share of the lead with a win. Baltimore went ahead 3-0 in the fourth, then let Boston pull even before Machado homered a liner into the second row of the left-field seats off Felix Doubront (11-10).
ROYALS 7, INDIANS 6, 14 innings
CLEVELAND (AP) — Tony Abreu's two-out single in the 14th inning gave Kansas City a win over the Indians, snapping the Royals' six-game losing streak.
Scott Maine (2-3) walked Mike Moustakas on four pitches to start the inning. Jeff Francoeur and Brayan Pena struck out, but Maine's wild pitch moved Moustakas into scoring position. Abreu blooped a single to center to score the go-ahead run.
Both teams used nine pitchers and Cleveland's bullpen pitched 10 scoreless innings before allowing the winning run.
Vin Mazzaro (4-3) pitched two scoreless innings and Kelvin Herrera pitched the 14th for his third save. The Indians loaded the bases with nobody out, but didn't score. Cleveland stranded 20 baserunners.

Positive governance
To the editor:
The proposal to table the decision of whether the Brunswick Town Council should send a letter to the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority ( NNEPRA) requesting that they build the train maintenance facility in accordance with Maine Department of Environmental Protection and Brunswick's own town ordinances led to a very stimulating and spirited discussion.
The decision to table the request was a wise one and showed very positive governance by the council. This will allow the council and the residents of Brunswick to step back and reflect on all of the information that was brought up.
My fear is that during this waiting period, people on opposing sides of the debate will only get more entrenched in their own personal beliefs. This includes me.
To help me frame this debate from a different perspective, I took the specifics out of the picture and stepped back into the realm of generalities. I erased NNEPRA, the train facility and all the rest of the pieces from the picture.
What remained after I put the erasure down were two philosophical questions. When a new industrial facility is going to cohabitate with a residential neighborhood should the Town Council take an active role in pursuing standards for the redevelopment of the neighborhood or should the incoming facility be relied on to decide how they will handle their impact on the neighborhood?
To boil it down even further: How involved should the Town Council be in matters of neighborhood advocacy?
By answering these questions, the Town Council can establish guiding principles to use when future occurrences of residential and industrial interests collide.

Passengers planning to take AirTran Airways flights out of Huntsville and Sarasota better now think of other options.
AirTran Airways flights tickets to both these destinations, Huntsville and Sarasota, would not be available now as the airline has finally grounded its flights.
The airline recently announced that it has ended its flight operations out of the Huntsville International Airport effective from August 12, 2012.
The airline's decision not to operate its flights out of Huntsville International Airport has left the officials greatly disappointed. AirTran Airways had been operating its flights from here for the past two years.
The airports officials said that they have now started holding negotiations with other existing low cost carriers about expanding their current seat capacity and start new flight services out of here.
AirTran Airways has also stopped its flight operations out of Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. The airline's final flight departed on August 11, 2012.

Logistics Innovation Agency
What is it?
The U.S. Army Logistics Innovation Agency (LIA) is the field operating agency of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4. LIA's mission is to provide innovative solutions for improved Logistics readiness, and our vision is to be the logistics innovation leader. To achieve this mission and vision, LIA combines premier processes and robust analytical test beds to explore and analyze new ideas.
What is the Army doing?
LIA has five focus areas: Logistics Science and Technology Demonstrations; Unmanned Systems for Logistics; Common Logistics Operating Environment (CLOE); Energy; Data Fusion. Recent accomplishments include development of by LIA and fielding by the program manager, of a Low Cost Low Altitude parachute drop capability, and development and current demonstration of a Freedrop Packaging Concept Project (dropping supplies without a parachute), which make it possible to resupply outposts in austere locations. The agency is also demonstrating the Next Generation Wireless Communications and Smart Container capabilities, which enable near real time visibility of assets. The CLOE team is developing a holistic approach to the integration of logistics and command and control information systems that provide platform health, sustainment forecasting and planning data from the platform to the national level.
What continuing efforts does the Army plan for the future?
LIA is also actively exploring new and emerging technologies in the areas of energy, unmanned systems and data fusion. LIA's Energy project, in coordination with key stakeholders, is investigating energy efficiencies through projects such as the Smart and Green Energy (SAGE) for base camps and Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG) projects, both currently in the design phase. These initiatives will use cutting edge technology, taking advantage of DoE and NASA research. SAGE will demonstrate up to a 60 percent reduction in the amount of fuel required to power contingency bases by employing smart micro-grids, energy efficient shelters, and renewable energy technologies. TEG will allow small units in austere environments to recharge approximately eight batteries per hour using a lightweight, man-portable 600 watt thermo-electric generator.
Why is it important to the Army?
LIA initiatives provide the foundation for continued advances in logistics. LIA enhances logistics business processes through technology insertions and analytical expertise, following a trajectory of discovery, exploration and demonstration to achieve logistics capabilities that are helping the Army solve today's greatest challenges, such as reducing fuel consumption, while preparing for a complex operating environment of the future.
