Schedule: Mississippi State was scheduled to open spring practice on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. ET, but that practice was postponed because of rain. All 15 workouts will be open to the public. The Maroon-White spring game is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on April 21, and will be part of Super Bulldog Weekend. A concert by Sugarland will follow the spring game.
What's new: The Bulldogs didn't have any changes among their nine position coaches, but Niel Stopczynski joined the staff as assistant recruiting coordinator, and Brett Elliott will be a graduate assistant on offense.
On the mend: Offensive guard Tobias Smith (knee), offensive tackle Archie Muniz (knee), and safety Nickoe Whitley (ruptured Achilles) will be limited this spring. Quarterback Tyler Russell won't be 100 percent after banging up his knee during bowl practice, but he'll be out there getting first-team reps.
On the move: Receiver Michael Carr has left the football team for a second time, and won't be back.
Key battle: With Vick Ballard departing, there should be some serious competition at the running back position. Speedy junior LaDarius Perkins has made his share of big plays while backing up Ballard the past two seasons. Now, it's Perkins' chance to show he can be the go-to back. Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen has raved about 6-foot, 225-pound sophomore Nick Griffin and the dimension he brings to the offense. Had Griffin not torn his ACL last spring, he would have been a big part of the offense last season. When healthy, he's looked like the complete package. A pair of redshirt freshmen will also make their case for playing time -- 5-9, 215-pound Josh Robinson and 6-foot, 205-pound Derrick Milton. Robinson was one of the stars of bowl practice last December, and the Mississippi State coaches are eager to see how he follows up this spring.
New faces: Three junior college signees enrolled in January and will go through spring practice. The headliner of the group is defensive end Denico Autry of East Mississippi Community College. Autry also had offers from Alabama, Miami and the USC Trojans. Offensive tackle Charles Siddoway played last season at Butte (Calif.) College after spending a year at California. Center Dylan Holley is a transfer from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. The Bulldogs' top high school signee, defensive tackle Quay Evans of Morton, Miss., is also participating in spring practice after graduating high school early, along with offensive guard/tackle Justin Senior of Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy. Senior is originally from Montreal, Canada.
Breaking out: The Bulldogs lacked a big-play threat in the passing game last season. They simply didn't have a guy who could consistently stretch the field and keep defenses honest. Redshirt freshman Joe Morrow might be that guy in 2012. At 6-4 and 205 pounds, he's a big target with speed, and should be a nice complement to senior receivers Chad Bumphis, Arceto Clark and Chris Smith.
Don't forget about: Chris Wilson's defense played its best football toward the end of last season. This will be his second season in charge of the Bulldogs' defense, so look for them to get off to a better start in 2012. The big loss was All-SEC tackle Fletcher Cox, who gave up his senior season to turn pro. But Autry should add some pass-rushing pop from his end position, and even though Evans is just a freshman, he's somebody who should be able to help in the middle. Johnthan Banks returns as one of the top cornerbacks in the country, and there's a lot of depth, period, in the secondary. All in all, it's a defense that should be able to hold its own if the offense takes a while to find its identity in those first few games.
All eyes on: It's Russell's show now that Chris Relf has moved on, and it sounds like that show is going to be tailored around Russell's ability to throw the ball from the pocket. Mullen said Mississippi State's offense will look different with Russell under center. There was more of a run element to it last season, certainly from the quarterback position, with Relf starting the majority of the season. Russell's forte is getting the ball down the field. He needs to show more accuracy and more consistency, but the Bulldogs are going to play to his strengths.

Week in Ideas: Christopher Shea
Dial Up the Buzz, Please
People who like to write in cafes are onto something, it seems: A moderate level of noise—the equivalent of the background buzz of conversation—prompts more-creative thought, according to a study.
More than 300 people worked on mental exercises, solving word-association puzzles and pondering practical problems (say, improving a mattress). At the same time, researchers played ambient noise recorded in a cafeteria, roadside, and at a construction site softly, moderately, or loudly, with the moderate level being about what you'd hear in a bustling cafe.
People in the moderate-noise groups scored higher on the objective word-association test, and their answers to the other problems were rated, subjectively by peers, as more creative. The study adds to research suggesting that small doses of distraction prompt the mind to work at a more abstract—and creative—level.
"Is Noise Always Bad? Exploring the Effects of Ambient Noise on Creative Cognition," Ravi Mehta, Rui (Juliet) Zhu and Amar Cheema, Journal of Consumer Research (forthcoming)
No Place Like Home
Home-field advantage conjures up screaming fans hailing locals and abusing visitors, but in 20 Italian pro soccer games in the 2006-07 season, home advantage persisted even without the presence of fans.
- See more from Christopher Shea at the Ideas Market blog.
Stadium problems, which led to a no-spectators decree, enabled the experiment. Without fans, teams racked up 1.6 points per home game, on average, versus 0.8 on the road, roughly the same advantage as when crowds were present (teams get three points for a win, one for a tie). Researchers cited the home team's familiarity with the playing environment. The results of a second test supported this idea: When teams that shared a stadium but had unequal fan bases faced each other, there was no detectable home boost for either side.
"Supporters Aren't Necessary for the Home Advantage: Evidence from Same-Stadium Derbies and Games Without an Audience," Niels van de Ven, Journal of Applied Social Psychology (December)
Your Friends Are Watching
That "Like" button, it seems, can work two ways.
If a potentially embarrassing product has the popular Facebook button or Twitter icon next to it, consumers are less likely to buy than if the social-media links are missing, two marketing scholars have shown. But if a reputation-enhancing product has the links, consumers are more likely to buy.
In the study, nearly 200 people, ages 16 to 45, rated their likelihood of buying items presented on a mock shopping site. When men considered the acne medicine Clearasil and women looked at Spanx body-shaping underwear, ratings on an "intend to purchase" scale were 25% lower when social-media symbols were present. But when men looked at bike shorts and women at fashionable perfume, the likelihood of buying rose by about the same amount. The icons made consumers act as if they were under surveillance by their social networks, the authors said.
"The 'Conspicuous Purchase' Effect," David Neal and Claudia Townsend, paper presented at the State of Style Conference, New York (February)
Just Drive, Dear
Some apps already prevent you from taking calls in a moving car, but that means passengers get cut off, too. What if software could determine who's holding what device—and permit talk and texting as long as it's not the driver?
An app under development at the Stevens Institute of Technology and Rutgers University uses Bluetooth to send a signal through a car's audio system—a signal whose frequency is so high that it cuts through car noise and passenger chatter and is barely audible to humans (if at all). By analyzing the signal from each of a vehicle's four speakers, the app locates the phone's position in space, to within a few centimeters, then locks or unlocks the phone's settings according to preprogrammed instructions. The driver is successfully identified more than 90% of the time, the developers claim.

We have no chance.
Maybe we do have a chance, but guns are not what will make that difference.
What will make a difference?
Number ONE thing is to avoid crime. All crime. Every sort of crime. Don't give anyone the slightest excuse to bust you for the least thing. Don't whine about injustice if you thumb your nose at the law.
Number TWO is to stay connected to your community. That can work as a team defense, or it can give you an escape route. I don't mean an alternative community, but a visible and above-the-board community like a church or country club. Be active and visible.
Number THREE is to have an alarm. Make sure that if anything happens to you, someone will know about it immediately and get you a lawyer, a news crew, or anything out there to babysit the cops.
I have a suspicion that if the man in the original post had done those things, he would have fared better.

in that if the man had done what Jesus tried to teach us in the first place, to resound truth (we learn by teaching), itwouldnothave happened. And/or the adage: "Use it or lose it" certainly applies to him.
Itwas no ones fault but his own that the only people profiting from his windfall were our enslavers, the thieving, lying, murderous monsters (John 8:44), that roam among us 24/7/365.

Did anyone remember few weeks ago, Duy said something about billions and billions of dollar of stocks have been shorted but still not cover. I remembered he mentioned this few time.
Short cover like crazy that's why the market rise ever since.
The question is how he knows this info? Was it a good guess or a real info?
Short interest is at it's LOWEST level since before the crash in 2oo8. Margin interest is at it's highest level since before the crash. Both of these things suggest a severe correction is coming at some point. There is always short interest, especially in certain stocks (think solar), but the levels now are the lowest in 5 years. But market just set all time highs in Dow, Nasdaq, & S&P, so naturally, shorts are squeezed.
Thanks for the clear and helpful answer....
short interest is public info.
Correct. There have been numerous articles lately about the low short interest, high margin interest, both contrary indicators. We haven't seen these levels since 2007, right before the crash. When everyone's bullish, that means they are already invested. When everyone's invested, the only way to go is down. It's coming, just a matter of when. I lost a fortune in 2008 crash, hence my aversion to holding stocks long. I once had a large diversified portfolio. No more. Never again do I want to go through that.

The kitchen is cooking when tattooed Murphy Maxwell goes down on mocha skinned Trae Angle. Trae then flips Murphy around to taste is sweet ass and dick. Trae then climbs to the counter to feel Murphy his cock, and follows this up with a fierce ass pounding, making his partner moan in delight. Murphy continues to ride the thick pole, taking every inch up his love chute. The scene ends with an explosion of semen across Murphys lips!
Tags: location:160 videos
Murphy's been watching porn his whole life, so he decided to dive into the business! He's a bottom through and through, and like having sex very often with very hung men. Nothing frightens this tattooed little bastard, and he shows off his brave bottom skills in several of our most popular titles!
A professional dancer and choreographer, Trae like Latin, European, and Brazilian men. He also likes "HOT OLDER MEN." Finally, he holds "true to his zodiac as a sexually crazed, narcissistic, passionate, and connected giving Scorpio."

Buenos Aires, Jun 12 (EFE).- Argentina's National Library plans to unveil a monument to Jorge Luis Borges on Friday, the 27th anniversary of the world famous writer's death, officials said.
The full body statue by sculptor Antonio Oriana will honor Borges, who served as the library's director from 1955 to 1973.
The work, which will welcome visitors to the library, will show the writer sitting on a bench surrounded by his books and his famous cane.
Oriana made the 800-kilo (1,762-pound) statue, which is 1.6 meters (about 5 feet) tall from a plaster mold filled with cement, sand and an iron skeleton.
The sculptor, who worked on a Borges statue in the 1970s but later abandoned the project, has created statues of painter Benito Quinquela Martin, doctor and politician Alicia Moreau de Justo and musician Astor Piazzolla.
Borges was born on Aug. 24, 1899, in the middle-class suburb of Palermo, which today is one of Buenos Aires's more fashionable areas, and he died on June 14, 1986, in Geneva.
The author of the short-story compilations "Ficciones" (Fictions) and "El Aleph" (The Aleph), among many other works, received numerous international honors throughout his life, including the Formentor Prize in 1961, the Miguel de Cervantes Prize in 1979 and the Ollin Yoliztli Prize in 1981.
Borges, however, was never awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, an omission that many critics have attributed to his conservative leanings.

I was the only one on my shift to dress up for the kids. I gots a cape!
November and I still have to turn off the air conditioners behind my boys every night. Lots of rain lately but luckily, I didn't feel all achy and flu-like Tuesday for the first week day since coming back from vacation and was able to get my five miles in. Finally. I had all the girls Monday night with the other unit having eight girls out of nineteen on one OR MORE precautions. God made it a blessing for me. It seems that usually, the earlier I go to check on them, the sooner they start acting out but I just really felt I needed to bite the bullet and check in early. As soon as I updated all my paperwork and checked on my three precautions, I went over during first dinner. Since its been awhile working that unit I decided to talk to everyone, take names, tell them how forgetful I am but I AM trying to learn them. The very first girl says 'Ms Connie! You are the only nurse except one that listens to what we have to say!' I had just walked in. I spent a wonderful hour lounging a little on each pod and we didn't have any 911s Monday OR Tuesday!
This is my nephew
Tuesday, one of the boys got a letter from a girl and told staff she needed to be put on phone and mail restrictions so of course the staff that loves to report stuff had me come over to read it. I applaud the girl for calling him out as being childish calling her a B when they 'only dated a day.' Then the staff comes in and says there wasn't anything wrong with her letter. Dipstick. But then another boy asks to talk to me so I got trapped in the office again. They never want to leave when they have your attention and why not give them some? This was funny though. He was coming to the girl's defense to say she does nothing wrong and the other boy is being a jerk...then he pulls out his duct tape camo wallet, FILLED with her letters, and proceeds to read 90 percent of them to me. They are like brother and sister because she doesn't want to date anyone from a placement. Except the other guy, I guess. Guy number 2 really has it bad. I could tell.
This weekend was very productive. I mowed and re-did the edging. Still will take several more attempts but it gets better every time. I am in shock that I got so much caught up for the new month and it seems to basically be staying caught up. Only just now getting back to regularly getting those five miles in from feeling crummy but hope to get back to the free weights tomorrow, too. Part of it was not taking my supplements for a couple of months, mainly glucosamine. Waist pain like a vice and RIGHT wrist and hand pain for over 24 hours when I didn't do ANYTHING to it last week. The other one has the arthritis! Pulling weeds etc for four hours on Saturday might explain Monday. And my pedometer was turned to manual so it didn't record all weekend! Even got three junk bags down to one and did ALL my filing including overflow filing. And rearranged the garage in anticipation of starting the bathroom. In six more weeks. Ron is taking off Thursday and Friday to stay at his brother's and hunt so I will actually get to sleep in the bed before 5 am!!! When he first quit using the CPAP because it was so loud, he had quit snoring but now I am knocked back to the couch since he has gone back to his bad boy ways. He says he will be back Saturday afternoon but I wonder what my plans are? Gonna ask if Dakota and Baby Cat want to go hiking if it isn't too wet but I am ready to be home a bit. I am taking them to closing weekend of the Texas Rennesaince Festival cuz she wants to go for Celtic Christmas.
Rolling Stone magazine online is streaming Counting Crows upcoming release 'Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow' but its too congested for me to get to. Whaa

Things are improving for Spc. Michael Crawford, a Vancouver soldier injured when an improvised explosive device detonated near his convoy in Paktia, Afghanistan, on Dec. 27.
Crawford, 20, a specialist in the Army, is out of intensive care at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, and on Wednesday was presented with a Purple Heart by Secretary of the Army John McHugh.
"From two weeks ago to today, it is night and day," his father, Adam Crawford of Vancouver, said of Michael's condition. At first he wasn't sure what would happen, but now "you see hope, you see laughter. I can't tell you what a feeling it is."
Crawford still has at least two more surgeries ahead of him, one to repair his spine and another to reposition bones in his left leg, said his mom, Carol Steinmitz of Battle Ground. For now, doctors are giving his body a break.
His parents are still cautiously optimistic that he will be able to walk again.
On Wednesday, he was among 10 or so soldiers honored by Army Secretary McHugh at the San Antonio hospital. McHugh thanked Crawford for his selflessness serving his country, his mother said.
"I thought that was really great be
cause that is what Michael is really about," Steinmitz said.
Crawford is also receiving thanks in the form of letters and cards from students in Clark County schools, his father said. Those schools include Discovery Middle School, Union High School (where Michael Crawford graduated in 2009) and a few other area schools. He hopes to stop at those schools when he returns to Clark County, his Steinmitz said.
On Thursday, he was able to speak to his grandmother, Colleen Bowers of Battle Ground, for the first time since returning to the states.
"It was real surprising," Bowers said.
Michael was expecting to get a motorized wheelchair Friday. His family and physical therapists will help him learn how to maneuver the chair.
"I think it's going to be interesting," Adam Crawford said. "It was fun to teach him how to drive a car. I don't know how I'm going to teach him how to drive a wheelchair. I've never done that before."
Soon, he should be able to move around the hospital and maybe even go outside.
Adam Crawford said the level of service at the hospital is incredible.
"We couldn't get better care anywhere else," he said. "These doctors specialize in this kind of stuff."
The family will go to Fort Hood, Michael's home base, next week to attend a ceremony for three others who died in the attack that injured Crawford. Another man injured in the explosion was moved to Crawford's hospital in San Antonio. The family plans on visiting with him.
There's more good news: In the heart of Longhorn and Aggie country, someone managed to find Michael an Oregon State Beaver hat, his mom said.

Hello. I've started this post three times now and I keep erasing my words because I don't know how to lightly transition into what I'm going to write. So, here goes.
God has put it on my heart ALL YEAR LONG to give up spending money on things I don't need. I've done a fair job at cutting back on expenses and simplifying. We even went papertowel-less a couple months ago. But, you know what? That was easy. The thing I've been most afraid of is saying no to shopping for stuff. Stuff that brings me temporary comfort. Stuff that is disguised in "I need this" clothing. Stuff that tries to take my attention away from what matters more. Until now, I've felt my stuff and the needs behind why I buy that stuff were stronger than God's ability to be sufficient for me. I am still
scared out of my mind hesitant about doing this because the alternative to spending money on things I don't need is seeing clearly that God is enough for all of my needs and letting go of control of my happiness. Letting Him be my happy. And that may take work or struggle or facing how very connected to my stuff I am. Me + stuff = BFFL. OK, it will most definitely take all of those things. It will take me learning a new deeper lasting happy.
Gracie at my parents house last weekend, playing piano for the first time. : )
A few months ago, my dear friend Nancy posted that she was doing a "Contentment Challenge" where she wasn't buying anything new — clothes, accessories and stuff — for three months. Read her post about MTH and how God placed this on her heart here. Right around that time, I went to a conference with her where Jen Hatmaker, author of 7, was speaking. I sort of laughed the idea of giving up spending in my heart. Haha! Yeah right. That's too hard, I thought. I'm just too weak.
And you know what? I AM too weak. And that's exactly the point. After months of praying and being challenged by scripture, I am seeing that God made us that way so we would rely on Him fully. Paul's words in Philippians have been ringing in my heart the last weeks:
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Phil 4:12-13)
Grace making buttermilk biscuits with my mom last weekend.
I want God to be the only source of my strength — my true sustenence. Not new clothes or a better bigger prettier faster ____ (whatever it is at the moment). I want to rely on Him to make me feel whole and new again, not Target (sorry, old friend). I want to live simply and give abundantly. Like, actually DO it. I want to have margin in my life to stop and get on my knees to pray rather than be surfing Amazon for lightning deals. I want to be weak so He can be strong in me.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Cor 12:9)
But, before I tell you what I'm doing, let me preface it by saying this: this is not about rules. It's about doing what God has been urging me to do. If He puts it on my heart to buy something for a good reason, I will do just that. Like Jesus healing people on the Sabbath, this is not about following guidelines just for the sake of guidelines. God is bigger than rules. It's about fasting from something that I feel is keeping me from a deeper relationship and understanding of God's heart.
So, if you are not doing this challenge with me, I still love you a whole lot. With sugar on top and extra sprinkles! I won't judge you for making your Christmas list and checking it twice. I still have a shop and a business that people buy things from, but I pray each purchase inspires them to what matters or somehow points them to Him. You could certainly argue that no one needs a wedding magazine or PowerSheets. That is true. But, I make them because God put in on my heart to inspire people to what matters in marriage and to help people set good goals that build His Kingdom. For me personally, filling out my own PowerSheets this month is partly what brought me to write this post. I got my head clear, took a good look at my goal progress this year, and — with just a few months left in the year — realized it was TIME. Time to stop worrying about taking this Challenge and just do it. So, remember that a close relationship with God is not about spending vs not spending or being a missionary vs being a designer. It's about the heart. It's about using what you have — or don't have — to glorify Him. If you do join me in this #ContentmentChallenge, remember the heart of why we fast from something in the first place – to glorify Him. To draw close to Him. To live with less so that He can be exactly what He is – more.
Painting for the very first time with my mama. So many sweet firsts on our visit.
The Guidelines (modified from Nancy's just slightly):
- Prepare your heart, organize your closet, and make any necessary purchases that you might need during these months or plan for them. (This is not a last minute shopping spree! This is one final trip to the store for items you will need, and the opportunity for you to say your goodbyes to Target.) I've already made my list of things I will likely purchase and have prayed about all of these things: family photo albums from Artifact Uprising (my pictures are useless on my computer and need to live somewhere we can see and feel them), a Christmas tree (actually counts as a donation since we get it from Trosa), business needs (needs only), and I'm not counting Grace's needs like the obvious — diapers, wipes, warm clothes for winter and her 2nd birthday is the week before Thanksgiving so I'll probably get her some balloons. The rest I may make.
- I am fasting from buying new clothes, household items, accessories and general stuff. There's a lot in that category and for me, it's mostly the occasional trip to Target that gets me in trouble. Food, items for basic living and experiences (like going to visit the zoo with Grace) are not a part of this fast for me.
- I'm also focusing on giving during this time. I'm trying to give something away every day. Whether something physical, a prayer or encouragement. Just something that is given to someone else.
- I am hoping to do this through the New Year. Yes, that means Christmas is included. After organizing our whole house this weekend, I know we have more than enough craft supplies to make gifts for family. Also, charitable donations don't count, so I can still do my yearly holiday purchases from Heifer.org as gifts for people.
UPDATED 12/3: After much prayer and God presenting many opportunities for us to fill needs for others, we have decided to give gifts that bless others and help them feel hope, not just donations. We've already started and it has been so gratifying!
- Choose something to read during this time. I recommend any of the following: Seven, Interrupted, and the Bible : ) (Feel free to leave additional recommendations in the comments!) I'm trying to finish the Bible by the end of the year (in Amos right now) and also have Radical and Not a Fan to finish.
- Gifts are okay! Remember the heart of this. It's not about rules. If someone gives you a new dress or piece of decor during that time, receive it graciously. If you need to buy someone else a gift, by all means, do so. The point is to learn more of ourselves and the Lord.
- Necessities are okay! If you lose your glasses, buy a new pair. Just don't start justifying new purchases for items that you already have. ("I really NEED this bathing suit, even though there are 8 in my closet already.")
- Actively pursue something good that helps to replace your tendency to buy stuff as a source of comfort. Something that points you back to what matters most. For me, it may be prayer, singing hymns with Grace, reciting scripture out loud, slow dancing in the kitchen with Ari, painting, gardening or taking a deep breath and thinking about Heaven, where we will have no stuff anyway.
I would also recommend using this as a time to become a better steward of your finances. I know, I know! First I tell you I'm giving up shopping and now I'm talking about budgeting. (!!!) Stick with me here… : ) Having a financial plan has helped me to get to this point because I have been learning that all I have is not mine. We are just stewards of what God has given us and we are to use it wisely. We are blessed to be a blessing. For a general primer on money management, read The Total Money Makeover and our resident Creative Director, Emily's, Marvelous Money posts. With the help of Nancy's husband, Will, who is also our financial coach (I highly recommend him!), we've outlined a budget and we now have solid goals like working to aggressively pay off Ari's student loan so we can get to things like saving for Grace's college and helping my parents if they need support in their later years. Will also gave me a list of scriptures about finance that I have tacked to my office wall so I am constantly reminded of where God wants my focus. My mind and heart can get so off-track!
OK. I have to get back to work, but let me finish by saying this: (as my dear friend Emily says) grace, not perfection. I didn't want to blog this because I am human and fallible and I will likely mess up somewhere. But, what makes me oddly excited about even the thought of "messing up" is the hope that God will change me in this experience. He already has in preparing for it.
In our garden together last week. I love getting out with her and hunting for garden treasures. My tomato
plants trees are out of control!
I am excited to get to know Him more and to rejoice in Him more. I am excited to simplify. I am excited to learn to be more resourceful. I am excited to savor what I do have more. I am excited to learn a deeper gratitude in this.
I'd love to hear from you if you are joining me in this. I'll be using Nancy's #ContentmentChallenge hashtag to keep you updated on my progress and can't wait to be encouraged by yours, too. Here's to living with less (even though in comparison to the rest of the world we are so rich regardless) and to learning to be content!

No matter the money, Giles still plays hard
SAN DIEGO -- Brian Giles is rich. He's set for life, really. Yet he plays baseball as if his next meal depends on it.
When Giles is on the basepaths, opposing infielders had better step lively, or they're going to understand how would-be tacklers felt when Giles was on the Granite Hills High football field. He pursues fly balls relentlessly. He has a savvy in the batter's box that makes him dangerous even when he's not hitting well.
The Padres are lucky he's still here.
"He has so many different facets to his game," batting coach Dave Magadan said. "He plays hard. He runs the bases as well as anybody in the league. You can hit him anywhere in the lineup and he's going to do a pretty good job. Those kind of hitters, those kind of players are valuable. That's why they make the money they do."
For Giles, that money is $30 million for the next three years. There were long stretches last season where the right fielder was the lone reliable bat in the lineup, so you might think the Padres wrapped him up as soon as possible.
Nope, they gambled that they could save a few dollars on a depressed free-agent market. Instead, the rival Los Angeles Dodgers nearly snatched Giles up -- "A day or two away," he said -- and forced the Padres to pay a pretty penny.
Consider it well-earned.
It's not like this is Giles' first big contract, but it is his biggest. Lifetime security has changed many a player, no matter how they try to stay focused.
Giles, however, is as hard-nosed as ever. The first three games this season are proof enough.
In the Padres' 10-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park on Friday night, Giles drove in the first run of the game with a first-inning sacrifice fly, then had a sharp leadoff single in the third, another single in the fifth and a leadoff walk in the eighth.
His aggressiveness was on display when he tried to stretch his fifth-inning hit to left-center into a double, but was thrown out. With two outs, it wasn't a bad idea to try to get into scoring position.
In a 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, Giles had two walks, one hard slide into second base to prevent a double play and one fine catch of a foul fly ball. Playing right-handed batter Moises Alou to pull, Giles made a long sprint to the foul line before nestling under the ball near the wall.
His contributions to the Padres' 6-1 Opening Day victory included a walk, a single and a hard slide into third base to prevent a double play.
It's not just the effort that impresses, but the approach. Five times, Giles has led off an inning this year; five times, he has reached base. Twice on Wednesday, Giles worked the count to 3-1, then took a second strike before drawing ball four. He had the patience and confidence to lay off those 3-1 pitches because they weren't in the exact spot he was looking for -- his crushing zone.
Conversely, when runners are in scoring position, Giles has gone after anything he thought he could handle, rather than waiting for the perfect pitch.
"I play the game hard, and I play the right way," Giles said. "You do the little things because you're not always going to be swinging that bat hot the whole year. There are other ways you can help your team win."
There's another reason for Giles to play the right way at all times. If he were to let up, his dad would be quick to jump on his case.

State SARE co-Coordinators:
Summary of 2014 State/Protectorate PDP Activities and Results:
In 2014, Idaho's SARE PDP program focused on the following:
- Mini-grants to enhance Extension Educators' capacity for programming in sustainable agriculture.
- Travel mini-grants, providing Extension Educators travel funds for professional development in sustainable agriculture related fields.
- Sponsorship of an intensive short-course on Beneficial Insects and Pollinators on the Farm.
- Sponsorship of a large Climate and Water Conservation Seminar hosted by a SARE PDP Coordinator.
In FY2014, we sponsored two large educational events with total attendance of 182 agriculture producers and professionals. We sponsored one travel scholarship for an Extension Educator. As planned, we partnered with NCAP and NRCS to offer a Pollinator and Beneficial Insect short-course in Caldwell. The other workshop hosted by the SARE PDP State Coordinator was titled Climate and Water Conservation Seminar. As a result of Idaho SARE PDP sponsored events, producers and agricultural professionals gained new knowledge on beneficial insects, pollinator habitats, NRCS resources for growers, water conservation techniques, and climate vulnerability as it relates to future farming practices. Some attendees learned about SARE and its programs and grant opportunities, and others learned about Extension's role in disseminating sustainable agriculture information.
Context and Overview:
The Idaho professional development program is housed in the University of Idaho Extension, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Department. The Idaho SARE professional development program provides new research and educational programming for Idaho's producers. The SARE professional development program collaborates and engages UI faculty members, agriculture producers, non-profit organizations, and agricultural and environmental agencies. The focus of our work in sustainable agriculture is to help Idaho producers improve agricultural productivity and economic return while preserving their natural resources.
The SARE professional development funds target/train Extension Educators, NRCS professionals, community leaders, food system professionals, agriculture producers, and community members engaged in food systems. The Idaho SARE professional development program currently focuses on the following: conserving soil and water resources, small acreage farming, IPM, direct food marketing, developing local food systems, sustainable grazing systems, and water management. Our focus in Idaho SARE PDP is to distribute information and provide financial support for our agricultural professionals to participate in a variety of educational opportunities related to sustainable agriculture. The Idaho SARE PDP also funds mini-grants for Extension Educators to support their research, demonstration, and programming efforts related to sustainable agriculture.
Activities and Methods:
The Idaho SARE PDP funded one mini-grant in 2014, a Climate and Water Conservation Seminar and one of the PDP coordinators co-hosted a Pollinators and Beneficial Insects Short-course.
Climate and Water Conservation Seminar
A scarce water supply outlook for south-central Idaho promotes community wide water conservation efforts. A SARE PDP Coordinator partnered with a local non-profit to sponsor the second annual Climate and Water Conservation Seminar. The seminar discussed predicted global climate change scenarios and the effects on water supply and farming practices. With highlights from a current OSU climate model study, participants learned predicted temperature increases by 2050, predicted snowfall accumulation and timing, and future spring run-off scenarios. The predicted climate models discussed how irrigation scheduling and practices will likely change as well as crop rotations, planting and harvesting dates, and possible changes in optimal, low-moisture crops for the area. The 124 seminar participants included agriculture professionals, agriculture and livestock producers, community leaders, and community professionals.
Pollinators and Beneficial Insects on the Farm
A regional non-profit, Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides, partnered with Idaho SARE coordinator, Idaho Extension, and NRCS to conduct a workshop on the benefits and identification of pollinators and beneficial insects, as well as planting strategies to promote them on organic and specialty crop farms in southern Idaho. The team modified the Xerces Society's short course to fit the needs of Idaho farmers. The project worked with a local organic farmer, Fred Brossy, to present a case study on his habitat plantings. The group worked closely with Fred to include all parts of the process for establishing habitat, including site selection, seed selection, site prep, planting, and maintenance. Karen Fullen, state biologist with Idaho NRCS, discussed the planning process with NRCS and funding opportunities for farmers.
The short course was followed by a next day farmer-to-farmer exchange. This provided an opportunity for even more growers to learn about the topic. During the session, growers discussed their challenges implementing habitat with organic methods. The farmer-to-farmer exchange session used the format of interactive conversations with people seated in a circle. This follow-up to the full day short course allowed growers to ask further questions and learn from the experience of others. A total of 62 agriculture producers and agriculture professionals attended the workshop.
Travel Mini-grant
The Idaho SARE PDP funded one travel scholarship in 2014. Iris Mayes, UI Extension Educator, attended Powering Rural Economies, focused on Art and Agriculture. The health of a community is linked to the health of the culture and the access to healthy foods. The workshop featured breakout sessions on Local Food, Local Art, and Local Leadership and Creativity. Iris enhanced her ability for Extension to provide support to local restaurants. Local foods provide more nutrition because they are fresher and the nutrients and vitamins are more intact than foods that are harvested far way and then shipped. Restaurants have the power to improve their community and local economy by sourcing local produce. In rural areas, agriculture, hunting, and food gathering are central to the local culture. Music, media, and fine arts reflect the local culture and bring people together for community connection and enhancement of social capital. Iris Mayes used the training to engage local community members on ways that local foods, art, and culture can enhance the community on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation as well as Latah County. As a result of this training, Iris also plans to host a "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" event to help share information about our local farmers with the community.
PDP-funded Publications/Educational Materials and Products:
No publications/products submitted this year.
Changes in Ag Professionals' Knowledge, Intention and Action:
Workshop Evaluations:
Climate and Water Conservation Seminar
The SARE PDP Coordinator used a clicker survey to evaluate changes in knowledge and planned action. Eighty-five percent of participants of the Climate and Water Conservation Seminar indicated a better understanding of predicted climate change and water scenarios for the local area. All 124 participants indicated that the predicted climate and water scenarios represent a need for the community to prioritize and conserve water. Over 85% of participants indicated that they learned water conservation techniques that they plan to adopt for their farm, business, or residence.
Good Bugs Workshop
An evaluation of the short course was conducted. A total of 62 evaluations were returned. When asked about their knowledge level before and after the workshop, 52 of 62 participants who returned their evaluation showed an increase in knowledge level of the role of beneficial insects on the farm. Fifty-eight of 62 participants reported an increase in knowledge level of using a habitat assessment guide to evaluate habitat and possible enhancements.
Of the 17 who identified themselves as agriculture support staff (crop consultants, extension, Soil Water Conservation District, etc.), 14 indicated that they planned to use the habitat assessment guide when advising farmers. All 17 of the agriculture support staff indicated that they would change how they advise farmers about farm management practices in order to support pollinators and beneficial insects. The agriculture support staff indicated that they plan to make the following changes: 13 plan to consider pesticide impacts on pollinators in future pest control decisions; eight plan to adjust management (tillage, mowing, etc.) where possible to increase pollinator numbers; 14 plan to provide additional habitat resources for pollinators (wildflower plantings, nest boxes, etc.); and 10 plan to encourage enrollment in NRCS administered conservation programs for pollinators.
Of the 37 farmers who completed the backside of the evaluation form, 36 indicated that they would use the habitat assessment guide to assess the habitat on their farm. Thirty-seven also indicated that the short course changed what they intended to do on their farms to support pollinators and beneficial insects. The farmers indicated that they plan to make the following changes: 19 plan to consider pesticide impacts on pollinators in future pest control decisions; 24 plan to adjust management (tillage, mowing, etc.) where possible to increase pollinator numbers; 35 plan to provide additional habitat resources for pollinators (wildflower plantings, nest boxes, etc.); and 20 plan to enroll in NRCS administered conservation programs for pollinators.
Following the workshop, we met with 11 growers to conduct on-farm habitat assessments, using The Xerces Society's Habitat Assessment Guide. At the short course, we asked growers who were interested in participating in the on-farm habitat assessments to complete the form. Twenty-six farmers responded that they were interested in participating. We narrowed this list down to 11 by selecting a diversity of different farms and those who were using organic methods. These 11 site visits represent long-term outcomes (beneficial insect management change) as a result of the Good Bugs Workshop.
Travel Mini-grant
Iris Mayes used a SARE evaluation to indicate short-term outcomes. She indicated improved knowledge and skills. She anticipated reaching over 150 people with the gained information. She indicated that she learned programming ideas from the training that she will implement in her Extension programming.
Iris Mayes went further to show medium-term outcomes from her participated training. As a result of the SARE travel mini-grant, Iris Mayes performed and indicated action for the following: 1) hosted a meeting with community members to brainstorm ways that local foods, art, and culture can enhance the community on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation as well as Latah County and 2) a planned "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" event to help share information about local farmers with the community.
Unintended Outcomes:
For 2014, no unintended outcomes were reported.
Involvement of Others in State PDP Planning and Implementation:
We continue to involve more people in providing input on sustainable agricultural programming. Our advisory team for 2014 included four extension educators, two specialists,two producers, one NRCS employee, and a non-profit member. The advisory group met via phone in 2014. The advisory group provided sustainable agriculture topic ideas that should be a focus for Idaho. These included optimal pasture and grazing management practices, community food systems, Integrated Pest Management, and assisting small and organic farmers with sustainable management practices and business marketing.

Additional Information
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.

TRAINING for public administration was a recognized university function at Minnesota in 1940. An organization had been created to facilitate the selection, instruction, and placement of students and to facilitate cooperation among the participating colleges, schools, and departments of instruction. The university was concerned both with training students in the professional schools for public life and with training a small select group for public administration through a special program of study, research, and internship. The latter study-program was a combination of common core subjects with individual courses of study at the graduate level; students were drawn both from the public service and from undergraduate colleges and professional schools. All were required to spend a full academic year or more in residence, and the pre-service fellows also spent a year as interns in the public service before qualifying for a master's degree. A thesis was required.
The purpose of the training program was essentially to mobilize the university's resources for the benefit of persons who expected to become or were already public employees. The aim was distinctly to train professional and technical workers for the public service as well as managerial and research personnel. In a sense the program was simply official recognition of what had come to be a fact: a large number of the university's graduates were going into public rather than private employment.
A survey1 of graduates of the university in the classes 1928 to 1936 inclusive indicated that about 41 per cent of the men and 66 per cent of the women had gone into government employment and that about 31 per cent of the men and 45 per cent of the women had remained there. Twenty-five per cent of this governmental employment had been federal, 29 per cent state, and 46 per cent local. Almost half the governmental employment was in educational work--teaching, research,____________________

A British court has sentenced a Saudi prince to at least 20 years in prison for beating and strangling one of his servants at a swank British hotel.
Justice David Bean sentenced Prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud to life in prison with a 20 year minimum for the brutal assault at the Landmark Hotel in London on Feb. 15.
Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw says the prince had abused his aide in the past and that photographs stored on a mobile phone "plainly proved" that there was a "sexual element" to the abuse.
Bean says that while it is unusual for a prince to be a defendant in an murder case, "No one in this country is above the law."
The 34-year-old prince's grandfather is a brother of the current Saudi king.
Laidlaw said during arguments that the prince had abused his aide in the past, showing jurors video shot in the Landmark's elevator which appears to show the shaven-headed prince, dressed in white, throwing his 32-year-old servant around and battering him.
"The prince was fuelled by champagne and 'sex on the beach' cocktails when he bit the 32-year-old hard on both cheeks during the attack in February," the U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper reported.
Al Saud would face a likely death sentence if he returned to Saudi Arabia - not because of the murder but because he is gay and homosexuality is a capital crime there.
"The murder of Mr Abdulaziz was the final act in a 'deeply abusive' master-servant relationship in which the prince carried out frequent attacks on his aide 'for his own personal gratification,'" the Telegraph said.
Al Saud originally told police that he and Abdulaziz had been drinking into the early hours of the morning, and that when he awoke at 3 p.m. he could not rouse Abdulaziz.
Jurors rejected a claim by his defense lawyer John Kelsey-Fry that the prince was guilty only of manslaughter.

I have a 11'wide by 17'plywood covered roof 10degree slope, with a 4'x 3' skylight installed by previous owner in 1985.I've removed the asphalt shingles due to Ice Dam water leaks and poor installation of various items such as felt and flashing.I have lifted most of the plywood sheathing except around the perimeter of the skylight, and replaced sections where the plywood delaminated. There was/is no ventilation between the rafter channels in the finished ceiling/roof but it was well insulated. Blocking in various channels also makes this difficult plus the skylight in the middle of the roof blocks four(4) channels.I was thinking of installin a "Flash-Vent" at the top of the roof where it meets a vertical wall? I plan to apply TAMKO Moisture Guard Plus for at least the first two courses and around the skylight. The skylight has a copper flange perimeter 5.5" at the bottom With 6 NAILs!! the three remaining sides are 3.5"wide with the edges bent over approx .5" unnailed. The felt was .75" from both sides!!
I plan to put two 4" soffit vents at the eaves and have air passage along the eaves. I plan to drill two 1"holes in the blocking where able and hope that this will just have to do.
Is it worth while to install "Rafter Vents"(OwensCorning)in the channels where able? How should I seal the perimeter of the skylight? (eliminating the nails in the lower flange also.)
Is it worthwhile to install a flash-vent (Mid-America building products)?
Can I use Laminated Asphalt Shingles (Olde English Pewter- TAMKO)on a 10 degree slope roof?
