At Missouri Baptist Medical Center, every touch, every smile, every person counts. The reputation of care delivered here can be summed up into one word, "personalized". Our goal is to make every patient and family member feel that they are our only concern and meeting their needs are the priority in our day. We call them "MoBap Moments." We are committed to making a difference in the life of those who choose to receive their care at Missouri Baptist Medical Center.
Laurel Miller, BSN, a Missouri Baptist Medical Center emergency department nurse, never expected to use her medical skills on vacation. But last month, that's exactly what she did — making an RV trip with her husband and four kids especially memorable.
On the fourth day of their trip, while in the Grand Canyon, Miller saved a man's life.
The Miller family was enjoying the view, snapping photos and spending time together before leaving the area to grab some lunch. As they started to approach the shuttle bus, Miller heard someone scream, "Dad!" She whipped around to see a man collapsing nearby. Without missing a beat, Miller and her husband ran over to help cradle the man as he sank to the ground. Miller grabbed a souvenir T-shirt the man had purchased and tucked it behind his head as she yelled for someone to call 911.
The man's daughter said, "He is diabetic, it must be his blood sugar." At this point, spectators had started to gather around. People were scrambling for something to give him, but Miller thought, "What am I going to do? He's not awake enough to even consume anything."
Miller says it felt a lot like a CPR class. She was rubbing the man's sternum and yelling, "Sir! Sir! Sir!" to see if she could get any response from him. But in an instant, he stopped all movement. Miller checked his breathing: nothing. She checked his pulse: nothing.
She immediately started doing chest compressions. The man's daughter began to panic and was yelling, "Dad" over and over, hoping for some kind of response. An off-duty police officer identified himself, and Miller instructed him to keep the man's airway open.
Amidst the chest compressions, a Grand Canyon park ranger ran and brought Miller an automated external defibrillator (AED). Another man, who spoke little English, identified himself as a doctor and took over the chest compressions while Miller set up the AED. Miller says she didn't even stop to think. "I saw the AED and I went to work."
The Miller Family
She instructed the doctor to suspend CPR while she put the pads on the man to analyze his heart. The AED read, "Shock Advised," so she cleared everyone who had been touching him and pushed the shock button.
The man woke up and immediately told Miller he was going to be sick. Miller and a bystander rolled him over so he could vomit. As the paramedics arrived, the man started to pass out again and the AED advised another shock. Miller immediately shocked him. Upon seeing this, the paramedics jumped into action and loaded the man up.
When looking back on the experience, Miller says, "It all came so naturally. I didn't stop to think about what I was doing. I'm more freaked out about the whole thing now than when it was actually happening. I can't believe I did that."
Miller gives a lot of credit to the park ranger, who grabbed the AED. "I was in the right place at the right time. I could have easily been in another area and missed the whole thing," she says. "I had the AED, I don't know what might have happened if I didn't have it. It worked out perfectly. Everything fell into place so I could save this man's life."
Later that evening, the park ranger thanked Miller profusely. He said he had been trained on the AED but had never used it. He was glad Miller took it from him and knew what she was doing.
Miller later found out that the man was awake and talking when he was airlifted out. The last she heard, he was stable at a local hospital and recovering.
Miller's children watched the whole event and thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen, she says. They were proud that their mother saved a man's life and were asking all kinds of questions. When they asked her if she was scared when she had to do that kind of thing, she responded, "Well, at work I have everything I need and people to help me. Here, I was just hoping I had what I needed."

The third day of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Dubai 2009 is set to bring a host of excitement to Jumeirah Beach. Japan, Russia, Brazil and Switzerland have all qualified after Tuesday's games, so on Wednesday all eyes will be on the final group matches which determine who will join them in the quarter-finals.
The biggest of Wednesday's games will be the crunch match between European champions Spain and Côte d'Ivoire in Group B, while Group A is wide open with all four teams still in with a chance of qualifying. Elsewhere, Argentina and last year's runners up Italy will be fighting to qualify from Group C.
Game of the Day
Spain–Côte d'Ivoire, Group B, 13:30 (local time)
The Spain-Côte d'Ivoire match is extremely important for both sides, as whoever wins will qualify for the knockout stages. Spain suffered a shock defeat on penalties against Asian champions Japan in their opening game, before returning to winning ways against El Salvador in their second encounter. This match will not be easy for the European champions, as they are facing a stubborn African side who notched a hard-fought win in their first match. Yet the Spaniards' experience may give them the edge against the tournament debutants.
Other Matches
Group A is the most evenly balanced group so far, and going into the final day, every team still has a chance of qualifying. After Tuesday's defeat at the hands of Uruguay, Madjer and his Portuguese team-mates will be trying to regain some pride when they play the Solomon Islands, while hosts United Arab Emirates take on the South Americans in another intriguing match-up.
Although all eyes in Group B will be on Spain and Côte d'Ivoire, section leaders Japan will not be expected to struggle in their game against El Salvador. The Asian champions have already qualified with two successive wins, while El Salvador are already out of the running.
The fate of Italy in Group C is now out of their hands: the Azzurri have to beat Costa Rica while hoping Argentina fail to get a repeat of their win against Russia in Marseille 2008. That was the only time the pair have met in this competition, with the South Americans coming away with a 5-3 success. Russia, for their part, will be attempting to cement their position at the top of the group and underline their status as the tournament's dark horse.
As for Group D, title holders Brazil will hope to head into the quarter-finals as group leaders after their confrontation with newcomers Switzerland. Meanwhile, group rivals Bahrain and Nigeria square off with only a token victory at stake before both bid farewell to Dubai.
Player to Watch
Swiss striker Dejan Stankovic stole the limelight with four goals against Nigeria. The quadruple haul brought his total to six so far, putting him on top of the scoring charts and helping the tournament debutants to the knockout stages in the process. However, Stankovic is sure to face stiff competition for the competition's top-scorer prize from Brazilian sharpshooters Buru and Bruno.
The Stat
7 – On Wednesday, Switzerland will become the seventh European team to play Brazil since the inception of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
The Quote
"The match against the Solomon Islands was like the first final for us and Uruguay will be the second. We've learned a lot from our second match and we'll play well against Uruguay. I have asked the players not to think about the results of the other teams, but to concentrate on our match. I believe we'll win and qualify for the quarter-finals." United Arab Emirates coach, Marcelo Mendes
What's next
Spain-Côte d'Ivoire (13:30)
Japan-El Salvador (13:30)
Russia-Argentina (15:00)
Costa Rica-Italy (15:00)
Portugal-Solomon Islands (16:30)
Nigeria-Bahrain (18:00)
United Arab Emirates-Uruguay (19:30)
Brazil-Switzerland (21:00)

It's (JRT) Official: China the New No. 2 Economy
Is it official yet? It more or less is on Japan Real Time.
China's gross domestic product rose 9.6% from a year earlier in the third quarter. While Japan isn't set to release its third quarter GDP data for several more weeks, China's economic output zipped past the Japan's sluggish 1.5% growth during the April to June period, setting it well on course to record a full year of growth that will make it bigger than Japan. Not to mention the fact that China's latest quarterly data reveals a slowdown from its 10.3% growth the previous quarter, underscoring the widening gulf in economic might between the two countries.
China's feat in outpacing Japan earlier in the year set the stage that it would likely surpass its neighbor as the No. 2 economy in the world in U.S. dollar terms. What is more, saddled with massive public debt and battling a soaring yen, Japan is hard pressed to find a way to jumpstart its flagging economic recovery. As the yen's advance hovers close to 15-year highs against the greenback this week, Japan's economic growth will be held back 0.2 percentage points this fiscal year if the dollar stays at 85 yen and the Nikkei Stock Average remains stuck around 9,000 beyond the third quarter, according to estimates by Nikkei Digital Media Inc.
So like some gentlemen who choose to shave their hair before the thinning hairline recedes completely on its own, JRT will preemptively face Tokyo's economic woes head on prior to the country's third quarter data dump likely deems it (even more) official that Japan is relinquishing the No. 2 crown to China. JRT hereby revises its self-description (located on the right hand side of its homepage) recognizing the country it so dearly enjoys covering is now effectively adjusting to life as the third largest economy in the world.
But we stick by our claims for Japan's growing "soft power". Take its Michelin star status, for instance: Michelin's new guide for Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe unveiled earlier this week, lists 12 three-star restaurants, the highest number for any Michelin guidebook, even trumping Tokyo's 11, and streaking straight past Paris' 10. Beat that, China.
And even if we can't afford a tour of Japan's 23 three-star restautrants, we can always lick our wounds with Kitanachelin – the hit TV show in which Tokyo's cheapest, filthiest, but most delicious eateries are visited and rated by a bunch of comics and TV stars dressed in evening wear more suitable for dinner at The Ritz.

Visit Your Local Farmers Market
Shopping at a local farmers market is healthy for you, for your community, and for our planet. And best of all, you get to eat fruits and vegetables that are as fresh as it gets.
Healthier for you
While the produce you buy at the supermarket or a big-box store is often traveling on trucks or cold-stored for days or weeks, the fruits and vegetables you buy at the local farmer's market is usually picked within 24 hours of buying it.
Fresh produce not only tastes delicious, but it's healthier because it has more nutrients than produce that's been off the vine or tree for more than a few days.
Healthier for your community
A lot of food is grown in San Mateo County, and buying local food gives farmers a reason to keep growing and selling food on San Mateo County soil. This keeps money in our communities and stimulates the County's economy. There are many farmers' markets that sell fresh, local food throughout the county.
Healthier for our planet
When food is transported into the County, it requires a large amount of energy and resources for transporting it, packaging it, and then marketing it.
View a full list of Certified Farmers Markets in San Mateo County *
*Many farmers markets accept WIC vouchers, EBT & Senior Nutrition Checks. Visit the County website for details.
Tips for Visiting a Farmers Market
- Bring your own bag. Whether it's canvas, cloth, or just the plastic bags you saved from last week's trip to the grocery store, remember to stash your reusable bags in your car or bike basket and bring them with you to the farmers' market every week.
- Why not walk or ride your bike to the farmers' market? It's a great way to be active and build up an appetite for all of the incredible fresh fruits and vegetables you'll find at the market.
- Take public transportation to the market. Is the market too far to walk? You can probably get there by public transportation. Check the "Getting Here" tab on each market page for convenient public transportation directions to get you to the market.
- Bring lots of small bills and change. Most markets are cash only and there is no central checkout. Each farmer is an individual business and you will be paying at each individual farmer's stand.
- Very few farmers accept credit or debit cards. There are often ATMs close the market. Ask a farmer or the market manager for directions.
- Try something new. This is a great opportunity to try a new fruit or vegetable, or prepare it in a new way. You can even ask the vendor what his or her favorite is, and get suggestions on how to prepare it.
- Let your children explore the farmers market. Try giving your children some money, maybe $2 or $3 and let them explore the different booths and choose something to buy. There is a greater chance your child will try a new food if they picked it out – like a purple carrot.

Located in southwestern Montana and established in 1865, Jefferson County is Montana's 19th most populous with 10,049 residents according to the 2000 Census. According to the Montana Almanac, Jefferson County is one of the original nine counties of the Montana Territory. The Jefferson River, named by explorers, Lewis and Clark, for President Thomas Jefferson, runs through the county. Jefferson County's slogan "The Discovered In Between" was derived from its location between Bozeman, Butte and Helena. County residents experience the four distinct seasons. Average monthly temperatures, for example in Boulder, range from a low of 8.4 degrees above in January to a high of 82.3 degrees above in July. The annual average precipitation is 11.22 inches.
According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, median income for Jefferson County households in 1997 was $41,820. The county is 1,658.9 square miles in area: 1,656.7 square miles in land area and 2.2 in inland water area.
Jefferson County abounds with natural resources and its economy is based around these, including production agriculture, wood products and mining. The mining industry is centered around two large mines at either end of the county. One large operation, about 1.5 miles off Interstate Highway 90 at State Highway 69, near Whitehall, is the Golden Sunlight Mine. It is an open pit operation that has over 170 employees and has an annual payroll of about 13 million dollars. Montana Tunnels Mining Inc., a subsidiary of Elkhorn Goldfields Corporation, is located approximately seven miles from the town of Jefferson City. Montana Tunnels is an open pit mine that produces zinc, lead, silver and gold. At their peak, they employ over 200 people and have an annual payroll over 13 million dollars. They currently employ 3 individuals and are in a 'care and maintenance' status until investment dollars can be found.
Another natural resource related business is Ash Grove Cement located near Montana City. Ash Grove, with an 83 person workforce, uses limestone, which is mined locally at a quarry, to produce bulk cement.
Finally, Jefferson County has a burgeoning youth and social services industry. Alternative Youth Adventures (AYA) is located in Boulder and provides a range of services for troubled youth. AYA employs about 30 people. Riverside Corrections, a state-run detention center for juvenile females, employs about 30 people. The new Women's Elkhorn Meth Treatment Center employs 30 people and completes the Human Services industry. Liberty Place Incorporated has two facilities in Whitehall and employs 20 people providing care and services for individuals with traumatic brain injury.

I am Virgo, My Lover is Capricorn
Capricorn is a superb lover for you, dear Virgo! Capricorn is an earth sign like yours, so you relate on an intuitive level because so many of your values are the same -- such as in your career goals. Capricorn rules the natural 10th house of the horoscope. The Goat is focused on climbing the ladder of success, and it is a rare Capricorn that doesn't reach the top of his or her profession. As a Virgo, you're a hard worker too, measuring your productivity level at the end of every day. Your sign has been called the sign of discrimination (you're known to be the universal critic) but the one you are hardest on is always yourself. Try not to let work overpower all the other areas of your life with Capricorn. You both are so duty-bound that you could forget your need for lighthearted fun (including time in the bedroom) because overwork could put a damper on your union.
You agree on many things, such as how to spend and save money; a nest egg is very important to both of you. Social approval is also important -- neither of you wants to get kicked out of the country club nor the bowling league. Rather, you both want to find acceptance in the best possible circles so you can meet interesting, successful people and be inspired by them. This is particularly true of your lover; Capricorn works hard at networking with influential people.
Neither of you would let the other down -- nor anyone else, for that matter -- and the one thing that gets you crazy is when someone is irresponsible. Life is busy, and when you cannot count on someone following through on a promise or a responsibility, it shatters your trust in that person. Virgos and Capricorns need to take people at face value. You both believe this so, happily, there will be no problem on this score. You both are practical, solid citizens with good common sense -- something you have found isn't so common anymore!
Your lover is ruled by Saturn, and therefore is not very emotional on the outside. Still, because you are Mercury's child, you see beneath Capricorn's cover and understand his or her feelings clearly. Virgos always have clear, bright eyes that see through the veils of things like pride, shyness, or lack of confidence. Your lover will be deeply grateful for your understanding and your compassion. Your union will be a rich and mature one, based on mutual caring and a shared vision of the future. Being earth signs, you both will be willing to dig down to the buried treasures that lie within each other. You both also have serious outlooks on life, but your life together will not be boring or routine, because your goals are lofty and inspired.
In bed, because Capricorn has established such trust in you, you will be free to express your deepest feelings. Be reassured: You will not be criticized or ridiculed. While other lovers may have found one of you too reserved or shy, you have none of these problems with one another. Both of you like to proceed slowly in the physical arena, so neither of you is likely to hop into bed impetuously -- certainly not until you know one another well. That careful, slow build-up of emotional intimacy is what will make your pairing so strong and sensual. Earth signs are deeply erotic once they feel love stirring within them, so let it happen at its own pace; the earth knows when it has reached critical mass. Once linked, neither of you will feel the need to go back to singles mixers nor search any further for a mate. Earth signs mate for life -- their loyalty is strong -- only the most extreme conditions could cause you to pull apart once joined.
So let others complain that you both are too slow and careful making up your mind about whether to wed -- then laugh at them later, when you celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary with your Capricorn.

Paul McCartney, who played the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2009, was caught by photographers April 11 attending this year's show as an observer. McCartney was photographed on the first day of the festival at Empire Polo Club in casual mode with wife Nancy Shevell. The April 11 lineup included Bryan Ferry, the Replacements, the Gabba Gabba Heys and OutKast.
Unreleased McCartney song to debut: Diana Krall told Billboard April 9 she'll be recording an unreleased Paul McCartney song for her next album that's due this fall. Krall said the song is an outtake from the "Kisses on the Bottom" album. "I still had a copy of the music and I asked him if he was OK if I did the song for my record and he said 'Sure,' so we recorded that and it came out just gorgeous," she told Billboard. Krall and her band backed McCartney on the album and played on the "Live Kisses" video performance that was released as a DVD.
Video goes viral: A YouTube video with 19-year-old Dylan Gardner covering the second side of the "Abbey Road" album in just under 3 minutes has gone viral since it was posted on April 9. The video has now has over 19,000 hits. Gardner sings each song in 15-second intervals in what appears to be his house. He says he did it for the anniversary of the Beatles' breakup and the video is "just me around the house having a blast covering my heroes." See it in the video spot. (Thanks to James Janocha.)
"Things We Said Today": Our latest "Things We Said Today" show with Ken Michaels features a wonderful conversation with special guest Dave Hull, who was a Los Angeles disc jockey during the Beatlemania years on KRLA-AM. Hull, who just published his autobiography, tells some great Beatles stories, including revealing who fed him inside Beatles info in the '60s. The program will air on Fab4Radio.com at noon and midight ET Sunday and will be found soon on our Podbean.com website.

NBC has sent an ominous letter to "The Apprentice" contestants who go public with complaints about the Donald Trump's reality show.
An official letter sent to contestants from NBC's legal office says, in part: "As you may know, two 'Apprentice' participants have recently spoken to Lloyd Grove of the Daily News alleging that they were portrayed unfairly in the program. ...
The letter reminds the contestants violations of their contracts with Mark Burnett Productions and NBC could cost them $5 million -- "obviously not a pleasant prospect."

The NBA is investigating racist comments allegedly made by Donald Sterling. The players are incredibly upset by the news of Sterling's recording and several teams even led silent protests during the playoff games last night. On Monday, ESPN reports that the investigation will be swift but that this case is unprecedented so the outcome is truly unknown at this point.
The Los Angeles Clippers debated boycotting the playoff game in Oakland last night. Ultimately they decided against it but they did make their anger known. The entire Clippers team took off their shooting shirts and dumped them in the center of the court. This revealed their team t-shirts underneath were all inside out. There wasn't a Los Angeles Clippers logo to be seen among them.
The Portland Trailblazers were also facing off against the Houston Rockets last night. Both teams felt the need to voice their disgust at the leaked racist recording also. In a show of support for their fellow colleagues and friends on the Clippers team, both the Trailblazers and Rockets all wore black socks last night.
Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, has said they will investigate the matter of Donald Sterling swiftly. That said, it's unknown how they will choose to punish him, if they do. No owner has ever had a team taken from them unwillingly. That might happen or he can be suspended and fined.
The future of the Los Angeles Clippers with Donald Sterling at the helm is doomed though. What players will want to play for him? He sure can draft them young but it's pretty certain that the big stars will not be interested in moving to L.A. for this team.
Doc Rivers has said he does not know what he will do going forward. Much like the players, why would a coach want to be on a Donald Sterling staff? Despite this current report and investigation, Sterling has a history of discrimination including a lawsuit for housing discrimination that he lost. He has been sued by a player before but the case was dismissed.
The NBA Players Union wants a say in what happens to Donald Sterling. The union president, Chris Paul, is a Clipper and like everyone else he is very upset. Michael Jordan has said there's no place for that kind of talk in the NBA. His comments echo many others and so far no one has spoken up in support of Sterling or even to suggest that it was not him on the tape.
What do you think of the Donald Sterling drama in the NBA? Do you think he should have the Los Angeles Clippers taken from him, should he be fined, suspended or should they let it go?

With that privilege, however, comes responsibilities. Our tripartite mission—spiritual formation, academic knowledge, and physical growth—requires a steadfast commitment from me, the Academy's faculty, and its Board of Trustees. In a society beset with despair and loss of faith, the Gospel message brings hope. It is that hope that we share with each other and with our community. As Christians, we are "in the world, but not of it" (John 17). Your continued prayers for John Paul the Great Academy and for those of us dedicated to fulfilling its mission will always be a source of inspiration.
Naturally, as a new school, "excitement" best defines our mood, whether we are students, teachers, or administrators. As that excitement turns into the routine of the school year, we will turn our focus from the newness of the Academy to the goals that our students have for their future. As a faculty, our teaching will be driven by our conviction that master teachers equip their students with the knowledge and skills to turn their dreams into reality.
With that strategy to guide our instruction, and with the Holy Spirit to reveal to us where the future of the Academy lies, the next year promises to be an exhilarating experience. May the Lord continue to bless us with the grace and confidence to always answer "Yes!" to His call. Our patron, Pope John Paul the Great, would ask for nothing less.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Peter Fletcher

The Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath's Tale Appearances Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used the line numbering found on Librarius's online edition.
Quote #1
But certeinly, er he came fully there,
Vanysshed was this daunce, he nyste where.
No creature saugh he that bar lyf,
Save on the grene he saugh sittynge a wyf –
A fouler wight ther may no man devyse.
(1001 – 1005)
The ugly woman's appearance after a mysteriously vanished dancing ring of ladies clues us in to the fact that we've stumbled upon the loathly, or ugly, lady, a figure from Celtic folklore whose job is to test the hero and who, in that folklore, symbolizes the sovereignty of the land.
Quote #2
'For though that I be foul, and oold, and poore,
I nolde for al the metal, ne for oore,
That under erthe is grave, or lith above,
But if thy wyf I were, and eek thy love.'
(1068 – 1072)
The lady's declaration here is kind of heart-wrenching; she reminds us that no matter what one's appearance or years, most people desire love and its trappings.
Quote #3
I seye, ther nas no joye ne feeste at al;
For prively he wedde hir on a morwe,
And al day after hidde hym as an owle,
So wo was hym, his wyf looked so foule.
(1084 – 1088)
A noble wedding in a romance is typically the occasion for a narration of a great and elaborate spectacle. The beauty of his wife was a source of pride for the husband, who wanted everybody to see her as it enhanced his status. The fact that this husband "hidde hym as an owle" demonstrates not only his shame, but the fact that he wants to hide himself and his wife from view, which upsets the conventions of both romance and courtly life.

SAN ANGELO - In the clear-as-mud scenarios that relate to the two playoff spots at stake in the first half of the United League Baseball season (and the three teams trying to win them), only one thing was easy to understand Thursday night.
Today at San Angelo 7:05 p.m.
Saturday at San Angelo 7:05 p.m.
Sunday at Harlingen 6:05 p.m.
Monda at Harlingen 7:05 p.m.
Tuesday at Harlingen 7:05 p.m.
An Amarillo victory would have eliminated San Angelo from the first-half race. But the Colts stayed alive with a 5-4 victory against the Dillas in front of 1,944 fans at Foster Field.
"It really bothered me last year seeing Rio (Grande Valley) clinch at our place," said Colts designated hitter Jason Crosland, who hit a double and a solo homer. "I'm glad we didn't let it happen again."
The win moved San Angelo (25-18) within 1½ games of the Dillas (26-16). The Colts have two games left in the half - both at home the next two nights against Amarillo. The Dillas have a makeup game next week against third-place Alexandria, which stayed one-half game behind the Colts with a 10-2 victory at home against Laredo.
"It makes it a lot more exciting to come to the yard when you know it's on the line every night," said Colts second baseman John Anderson, who drove in the decisive run in the seventh.
The Colts jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second with help from two Amarillo errors. Aaron Cone began the rally with a one-out single against starter Marcos Castillo. Jason Crosland followed with a double, and a Jose Torres single scored Cone. Wyn Diggs reached when a potential double-play ball was bobbled. That miscue allowed Crosland to score, and Torres came home on a throwing error.
Crosland hit a solo homer in the sixth to make it 4-0.
With the way Brian Henschel was pitching, that seemed like it would be more than enough. Henschel shut out the Dillas for six innings and got two outs in the seventh before running into trouble. Josh Ashton, Jonathan Reynoso and Keith Brachold hit consecutive doubles, cutting the Colts' lead in half and knocking Henschel from the game.
With the tying runs on base, Alex Merricks relieved and ended the threat by coaxing a one-pitch popup.
The Colts made it 5-2 in the seventh when Diggs walked and scored on an Anderson single.
The Dillas scored twice in the eighth to chase Merricks. Colts closer Miliade Venas entered and got the final two outs in that frame and pitched the ninth for the save.
Amarillo 000 000 220 - 4 12 2
San Angelo 030 001 10x - 5 10 0
Marcos Castillo, Ralph Roberts (8) and Justin Wenger. Brian Henschel, Alex Merricks (7), Miliade Venas (8) and Wyn Diggs. WP--Henschel (4-2). LP - Castillo (5-2). 2B: Amarillo - Reynoso, Brachold, Wong, Wenger, Ashton. San Angelo - Jason Crosland. HR: San Angelo - Crosland.
Records: Amarillo (26-16), San Angelo (25-18). Att: 1,944.

text: I can't see any mention of this, so I'll start. Having read the books and seen the three Swedish films (in both short and extended forms), I was unhappy when I saw that Hollywood was going to remake them, even with Daniel Craig as Blomqvist (I could imagine him in the role). I confess to being agreeably surprised by the whole thing. The Swedish atmosphere is nicely captured (I was glad they didn't try to transplant it to California, or somewhere like that). In general, it sticks faithfully to the book, gory bits, rape scenes and all (I thought it would be toned down for US audiences), although it does modify the plot somewhat for no good reason (Blomqvist acquires a teenage daughter). Rooney Mara makes a reasonable fist of Lisbeth Salander, a role that Noomi Rapace made her own. So, while I stil prefer the Swedish film, this was still worth seeing, and I look forward to the rest of the trilogy. Part of me hopes that they will modify the plot of the second book/film, so that it is somewhat more believeable.

Sonnet 130
by William Shakespeare
The Mistress
Symbol Analysis
She's definitely the star of this show. Every line refers to her, whether it's describing her appearance or her smell or the way she walks. We learn a few things about her, like the color of her hair and her skin. In general, though, she's a little more like an idea than a real person. Instead of being a fully drawn character like Hamlet or Juliet, she is mostly here to give the poet a chance to poke fun at exaggerated love poetry. We hear a lot about her, but for the most part, the information is rather vague and negative. Since all the images and symbols in this poem concern her in one way or another, we're going to put the different parts of her under the microscope, just like Shakespeare does.

Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
A recent record run in stocks suddenly stalled on the unlikely shores of Cyprus after the island's clumsy attempts to tax bank accounts annoyed Mother Russia and Mister Market alike.

The Climate Reality Project Australia offers free presentations on the reality of climate change and promotes solutions.
The Climate Reality Project Australia is a program of the Australian Conservation Foundation and a branch of The Climate Reality Project, a nonprofit organisation founded and chaired by the much denounced Al Gore.
We support a group of diverse and dedicated volunteers who have been personally trained by Mr Gore. Climate Reality Project presenters work to educate the public and their communities about the reality of climate change and promote both local and global solutions.
The Climate Reality Project has supported the work of more than 450 presenters in Australia and the Asia Pacific and more than 3,000 in 57 countries around the world.
Presenters have delivered 70,000 presentations to a global audience of 7.3 million.
Climate Reality Project presenters come from diverse backgrounds and include business leaders, professionals, educators, athletes, musicians, scientists, actors, students and religious leaders. The Climate Reality Project has nine official branches that support our presenters — Australia, Canada, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, United States of America and China.
Australia-based presenters have now presented to one in 62 Australians.
Look at the damage Al Gore's lies have done, and the stupidity of supposed educated people who have swallowed these lies hook line and sinker, because of the way they were delivered and so started formulating data that would support the theory rather seek out a theory.
They have convinced Socialists, who really will lap up a juicy well presented theory regardless of proof, and they through sheer numbers, money pumped into the fight, Universities that became corrupted into the belief and sheer inundation got through to members on the right side of politics also, only in smaller numbers.
Al Gore has been discredited by scientists, he has been found by a UK Magistrate to have 9 scientific lies in his film.
- Sea Levels will NOT rise by 20 ft.
- Pacific Atolls are NOT being inundated
- Ocean Conveyor is not being shut down
- CO2 levels and rise in temperatures is NOT an exact match
- Scientists have NOT decided that Mt. Kilimanjaro's snow recession is attributed to Global Warming
- Insufficient evidence that Global warming was drying up Lake Chad
- Global Warming did NOT cause Hurricane Katrina
- Polar Bears are not drowning because of Global Warming
- Insufficient proof Coral reefs are being 'bleached' by Global Warming.
Presenters have delivered 70,000 presentations to a global audience of 7.3 million."I'm proud to be associated with the Australian Conservation Foundation and the documentary Telling the Truth," said Ms Blanchett. "There has never been a more important time to make a difference on climate change or for Australian leadership on this vital issue."Telling the Truth begins with UK comedian Mark Watson, who chose to deliver his first Climate Project presentation to 1500 people at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It reveals the presenters' motivations for becoming involved in the Climate Project and their hopes for the future.As well as Mark Watson, Telling the Truth tracks the journeys of Nick Towle, a doctor from Burnie, Tasmania, who is concerned at the global health issues that might result from even a slight increase in the earth's surface temperature; Vanessa Morris, a mother of two and former ABC broadcaster, who broke down after seeing An Inconvenient Truth; and Jocelyn Uibo, a school registrar from Numbulwar in east Arnhem Land.Jim Thomson, an electrical contractor from Kalgoorlie, WA, reveals how seeing An Inconvenient Truth brought about the realisation that he had personally contributed to the increase in carbon dioxide levels recorded since 1958. Former professional rugby player Alex Kanaar gives a Climate Project presentation to his team mates in the NSW Waratahs and secondary school student Linh Do tells how she hopes being a Climate Project presenter will not only educate others about climate change but also dispel negative assumptions about Generation Y.The documentary was funded by the Nelson Meers Foundation and has an original score by Mark Seymour.So if Al Gore is the Architect of this then he is the one to be sued into non existence due to the cacophony of lies perpetrated by him in the creation of this scam movement and the incalculable damage to the world through this cult's lies and misinformation funded by Al Gore. According to his presenters it is their work that has fooled the world, and Australia into believing Global warming exists, then as their lies are debunked, the world needs to sue Gore for the damage he has done.

Just yesterday, June 9, 2014, while everyone was busy searching for the hottest and updated news in the Vhong Navarro-Cedric Lee case; some netizens were surprised when they read a report regarding the participation of Cedric Lee in a scandal that almost changed the lives of Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili five years ago. Based on an updated report of Jiggy Manicad, news anchor of Quick Response Team (QRT) which aired on GMA-7, Cedric Lee is the subject of the investigation of the NBI.
Reports claimed that Cedric was the one who uploaded the Katrina Halili-Hayden Kho sex video some years ago. After hearing the report, Cedric Lee's lawyer defended his client, according to him, his client has nothing to do with the sex video of Hayden and Katrina that circulated online almost five years ago.
It can be remembered that Katrina Halili cried foul when she found out that Dr. Hayden Kho took a video of their sexual encounter and posted it online. Even though he admitted that he took the video, Vicki Belo's lover/partner, Hayden, immediately denied that he was the one who posted it online.
And now, five years after the incident, Cedric Lee's name came out, allegedly, Cedric tried to extort Php4M to Hayden Kho and his family, but due to some reasons, Kho failed to give him the said amount. The issue has already been raised by Hayden's mom to the proper authorities; unfortunately, the authorities did not entertain the issue.
As you all know, Cedric has already tapped his lawyer to clear his name, but despite his lawyer's explanation this morning, some of the netizens are still saying that the National Bureau of Investigation should pursue its investigation to make sure that Cedric Lee will be cleared or punished in due time if the rumor is true or not.

California State Senator Lou Correa has introduced SB 1262, a set of regulations for the medical marijuana industry conceived by the California Police Chiefs Association and the League of California Cities, two groups that have vigorously fought any efforts to regulate medical marijuana in the past.
Covina police Chief Kim Raney, president of the chiefs association, said, "Over 90 percent of the chiefs felt that, regardless of how you felt about the marijuana issue itself, there needed to be a responsible public safety approach to this." Included in their definition of a "responsible approach"?
1. Any city or country can outright ban medical marijuana dispensaries, as established by the decisions in City of Riverside vs. Inland Empire Patients Health & Wellness, Inc. and County of Los Angeles vs. Hill.
2. A doctor must have a "bona fide" relationship with the patient in order to write a medical marijuana recommendation.
3. A recommendation must instruct the patient on how much marijuana to use, what type of marijuana to use by its THC and CBD levels, and whether it should be smoked, vaped, drank or eaten. The physician also must explain why a particular strain was chosen for the patient.
4. "Under no circumstances shall a physician… recommend butane hash oil."
5. The physician must explain the side effects of marijuana and, if recommending smoking marijuana, the physician must explain why that was chosen over other methods and must explain the health risks of smoking.
6. If the patient is a minor, then the physician must also explain why using marijuana justifies the "possible neurological damage that could be caused." The recommendation must also be approved by a pediatrician and the recommendation can only be for high-CBD non-smoked forms of marijuana.
7. Physicians have to report how many recommendations they make to the California Medical Board and any physician who write more than 100 shall be audited.
8. The medical board will adopt certification procedures for medical marijuana doctors that include training in combatting substance abuse.
9. Any doctor that breaks these rules is subject to a $5,000 fine.
10. The state will develop standards for quality testing of medical marijuana, including a ban on all non-organic pesticides.
11. Licensed dispensaries and cultivation sites will be created, with mandatory security measures, including video recorded evidence of weighed, inventoried marijuana at the cultivation site that must be re-weighed, re-inventoried and re-video recorded at the dispensary within eight hours of arrival.
12. County health department inspectors can enter the dispensary or cultivation site during business hours "and other reasonable times" to inspect, cite, sample, photograph and seize records to ensure compliance.
13. Any violation of the dispensary and cultivation site rules is subject to a $35,000 fine per violation.
Medical marijuana advocates prefer a bill from Assemblyman Tom Ammiano and Sens. Darryl Steinberg and Mark Leno that would place far fewer restrictions on doctors, but Lynne Lyman, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance says her groups is "very encouraged by law enforcement coming to the table with their proposals and we think we can all work together and come up with some model legislation in the state."

CXXXI Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art, As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel; For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel. Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold, Thy face hath not the power to make love groan; To say they err I dare not be so bold, Although I swear it to myself alone. And to be sure that is not false I swear, A thousand groans, but thinking on thy face, One on another's neck, do witness bear Thy black is fairest in my judgment's place. In nothing art thou black save in thy deeds, And thence this slander, as I think, proceeds. --William Shakespeare
LX Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end; Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend. Nativity, once in the main of light, Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd, Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight, And Time that gave doth now his gift confound. Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow, Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth, And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow: And yet to times in hope, my verse shall stand. Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand. --William Shakespeare

XCI Some glory in their birth, some in their skill, Some in their wealth, some in their body's force, Some in their garments though new-fangled ill; Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse; And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure, Wherein it finds a joy above the rest: But these particulars are not my measure, All these I better in one general best. Thy love is better than high birth to me, Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' costs, Of more delight than hawks and horses be; And having thee, of all men's pride I boast: Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take All this away, and me most wretchcd make. --William Shakespeare

CI O truant Muse what shall be thy amends For thy neglect of truth in beauty dy'd? Both truth and beauty on my love depends; So dost thou too, and therein dignified. Make answer Muse: wilt thou not haply say, 'Truth needs no colour, with his colour fix'd; Beauty no pencil, beauty's truth to lay; But best is best, if never intermix'd'? Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb? Excuse not silence so, for't lies in thee To make him much outlive a gilded tomb And to be prais'd of ages yet to be. Then do thy office, Muse; I teach thee how To make him seem long hence as he shows now. --William Shakespeare

Can NBA reclaim lost momentum of lengthy lockout?
The league is coming off one of its more fan-friendly campaigns, riding the wave of excitement created by the Miami Heat's traveling all-star team of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
The 2010-11 season began with the Heatles stealing all the headlines and ended with them losing in the Finals to the Dallas Mavericks, a feel-good story starring Dirk Nowitzki.
And in between, we were treated to a basketball revival in New York with Carmelo Anthony joining Amare Stoudemire and the wonders of MVP Derrick Rose in Chicago and Dwight Howard in Orlando.
David Stern couldn't have scripted a better season.
But this mother of all NBA lockouts might create more damage than even the Heat, The Sequel, can overcome, especially if the year is lost.
The league risks losing fans after a slight attendance increase and swollen TV ratings, including those for a compelling Finals.
"The popularity is at the top," said the Los Angeles forward Luke Walton. "It's high, and the ratings were record-breaking the last few years, and from the fans' perspective, the owners make a ton of money and are very wealthy, and the players make a ton of money and are very wealthy, so its kind of hard for them to sympathize with either side.
"The idea of the lockout and losing fans is probably the scariest thing of all," Walton said. "Even moreso than missing games or losing out on your salary for however long you lose those games, it's losing the fan support because it's at an all-time high right now."
The league can rebound, but the lockout with test the healing powers of LeBron and Co.

Yea, got some attention with that headline. But this is actually serious stuff.
Motorcyclist Magazine recently published (and posted) an articled titled "watch your six," six being your backside. The article speaks of getting hit from behind while on a motorcycle, by a distracted driver. Definitely not what someone would call having a good day if that happens. Although certainly sometimes we invite folks trailing our "six" in one manner or another, 3000 lbs of steel and plastic bearing down on us at a stop light ain't fun.
Motorcyclists in substantial numbers have been killed from this kind of impact. We're vulnerable there, sitting alone waiting for the light to change. Often, it's really long period of time because the sensor doesn't detect the bike. When a friendly 4-wheeler pulls nearby or behind (without killing us, by the way) only then does some lights trigger.
There's a couple of ways the article cites to help protect a rider in this position.
- Watch mirrors as the bike slows for a stop at the intersection. Touch the brakes on and off to flash the brake light. Get a "feel" for how fast the vehicle behind is slowing; or not slowing.
- Position the bike towards one side of the lane or the other, not in the center. Plan for an escape route and keep the bike in gear so a quick getaway is possible.
- Be extremely aware of surroundings, in front as well as behind. Keep mirrors clean; they are the only sight picture of whats bearing down behind.
- Keep lights working and clean, too.
All great tips, but lets focus on the rearward lights of the typical motorcycle.
Most rearward facing red lights aren't all that bright. Sure, newer model machines sporting LED technology is better than incandescent. The best option is to put very bright lights flashing rearward, activated by either brake lever.
Brightasslights is one option. They sell a bunch of versions and many are sold at Harley dealers. They're super bright LED's and they work.
Another option is probably less though about, the LED's typically found on emergency vehicles. Check the individual state in which the bike will be ridden for any legal prohibitions -- but most, if not all, allow any brightness of read light on a motorcycle if facing rearward. Whelen Engineering, Code 3, there's a bunch of others just waiting to be Googled. Even kits that incorporate these smaller, super-bright LED's into motorcycle friendly setups.
Harder-core bike wiring guys and gals can pretty much choose whatever floats their proverbial boat and hook it up. LED's draw very little current to boot, so overloading the electrical system isn't a worry with just one or two lights.
A couple tips for using the super-bright E-Vehicle spec lights:
- check the aiming. If mounted up high, will they blind the driver behind if they're up close? Best way is to mount low, aiming slightly upwards. Why? Because the light should be designed to get a drivers attention way back from the bike, not up close.
- consider a time-out circuit or relay. Pulsing a super-bright LED consistently while sitting at a l-o-n-g light at night might spin the driver behind into a seizure; or at least, piss them off. Remember, they should be designed to get a drivers attention far away, not up close.
- Check state uniform traffic codes statutes, local laws or ordinances! Make sure they're legal where they're destined for use.
- Check with your dealer, talk to the tech's. Chances are, they've done some sort of custom backside work on somebody's machine.
- If you're not up to par with Edison or Tesla on electronics, turf the install work out to an installer who knows their DC. 12-volt mobile electronics on modern bikes are sensitive to shorts and hacking into wiring harnesses. Let the wiring geeks do their deal.
Watching rearward while riding is extremely important. Don't be a statistic. Keep aware and keep alive.

TUCSON--True to head coach Mike Stoops' off-season transformation of the offense, the Wildcats came out mixing it up but heavily concentrating on the forward pass in a 90-minute scrimmage Saturday morning at Arizona Stadium
The three quarterbacks combined for 55 passing attempts and 300-plus yards in a modest display of the multiple spread Stoops brought in with new offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes, while UA kept what Stoops also has promised -- a bit of physical punch with a running game that added 185 yards and a score.
The latter, of course, was a two-edged sword, as Stoops and his brother, defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, were a bit chagrined at UA's run defense, but it also proved the Cats have changed their offensive style but still will "bring it" at opponents.
"Overall, I though it was a pretty good day," Stoops said afterward. "We didn't have great flow offensively -- there was still some hesitation -- but I like what we're doing. I love the way our kids are picking things up," he said.
"The spread creates some problems for you," Mark Stoops said. "But our linebackers have great experience and came up with that big play" -- a 70-yard interception off Willie Tuitama that Spencer Larsen returned 70 yards for a score.
Junior quarterback Tuitama completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 155 yards and a touchdown of four yards to redshirt freshman tight end A.J. Simmons, plus led the drive later that culminated in the offense's other TD -- a six-yard run by Xavier Smith, who led all rushers with 89 yards. Tyler Lyon completed 12 of 16 and Kris Heavner added five of eight. The Cats had a total of 492 yards in offense.
Heavner connected for the longest play, a 45-yard completion to redshirt freshman Terrell Reese.
Dykes said the offense, stopped by the defensive units on its first several possession by penalties and a missed field goal, "was a little bit antsy at first. After relaxing a little bit we were able to move the ball better. The players understand the big concept, now it's a matter of getting them to make better decisions," Dykes said.
One thing the new offense did was put the ball in a variety of hands -- 14 different receivers including all three running backs. Smith had four catches with Chris Jennings and Terry Longbons catching two apiece. They, like others, get the ball quickly in the new offense. "Getting the ball to guys in space will help us," Dykes notes.
Mike Stoops was impressed with Tuitama. "Willie has a chance to be a very significant player" The scrimmage was a good start, he said, "the infant stage of our offensive game."
The offensive line had an average day protecting the quarterback, allowing three sacks by senior defense end Louis Holmes. redshirt freshman tackle Lolomana Mikaele and junior tackle Dave Bertrand.
Redshirt freshman punter Keenyn Crier showed that claims about his big leg are accurate. He boomed six punts for a 48.5-yard average, including a pair of 55-yarders. Junior place kicker Jason Bondzio hit two of four field goals in the scrimmage -- one was blocked by freshman defensive end Ricky Elmore -- and connected on four of six at the start. He made his two longest attempts, from 42 and 40 yards.
"Keenyn hit the ball well. He has a special leg and his future is unlimited," Stoops said. "Bondzio just needs to start gaining confidence. The early block on his first try wasn't the best thing to help do that," he said.
NOTES... A number of key starters didn't play, including starting cornerback Antoine Cason, sitting out partially in preparation for a date with the UA track team's spring relay later in the day, safety Dominic Patrick, nursing a sore foot, and corner Wilrey Fontenot, who is sidelined during much of spring while rehabilitating following winter shoulder surgery... Sophomore CB Devin Ross, rejoined the team Wednesday after missing earlier drills while "getting back in better graces with us," Stoops said. He lettered as a true freshman a year ago and could factor in UA's kick return game -- which was not a part of the scrimmage... The practice was UA's seventh of spring, with seven more scheduled and one to be added, possibly after the Spring Game April 14... A crowd of around 400 showed up on a sunny day at Arizona Stadium for the action...

All good things don't last forever, and after making 14,022 of the Gallardo over a ten year period, Lamborghini said enough, and closed the book on that supercar forever. For every kid—regardless of age—with a poster of the Gallardo hanging on his wall, it was the end of an era.
Fortunately, as there are ends there are also beginnings, and beginning at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show is Lamborghini's replacement for the Gallardo, the Lamborghini Huraca'n, of officially, the Huracán LP 610-4.
The name comes, as most Lamborghinis' model names have, from bullfighting. In this case, Huracán was a fighting bull of the Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed that fought in August 1879 in Alicante. It's said it was his unyielding character that made him invincible.
Such character Lamborghini says will carry over to the Huracan—we'll drop the accent in favor of our English keyboard—as it rolls out with a naturally aspirated V10 engine of 5.2-liter displacement and a combination of direct and indirect injection, good for 610 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 413 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm.
The new fuel injection system—Lamborghini makes it more exotic by referring to it in Italian as "Iniezione Diretta Stratificata" combines direct and indirect injection –is responsible, says Lamborghini, for the increase in power and torque compared with the Gallardo as well as a decrease in fuel consumption and emissions.
A new seven-speed transmission fits behind the engine. It's compact, less than two feet long, a twin-clutch design with two shafts.
The Lamborghini Huracan has a new hybrid chassis made from carbon fiber and aluminum, which allows a vehicle weight of only 3128 lbs overall, including the V-10 engine. Combined with the horses and light weight, acceleration figures come in at zero-to-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds, and zero-to-200 km/h in just 9.9 seconds.
The front and rear sections of the car with the axle mounts are made almost entirely from the aluminum alloy, and carbon-fiber parts produced using RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) are primarily around the driver/passenger cell, forming part of the floor and sills, the center tunnel, the rear bulkhead and the B-pillars.
Top speed is 195 mph. The Lambo goes that fast in large part due to its aerodynamically-designed body. Comprised, like the chassis, from aluminum and carbon fiber—the outer skin is comprised, in Lamborghini's words, of "taut curves contrast with sharp edges."
The pointed nose of the Huracan curves down "like the nose of a shark," again quoting Lamborghini and the rest of the car follows suit. Drawing inspiration from racing, the lower contours of the air intake, which stretches across the entire front of the car, extends forward to make an aerodynamic splitter. There are dual air intakes on the flanks of the Huracan; the upper intake feeds the engine with air while the lower takes in cooling air There's no large, vertical air intake as on the Gallardo, which Lamborghini says brings "athletic tension and powerful flow to the flank" of the Huracan.
Across the back of the car are three large, horizontal matte-black polymer fins, made to resemble those from the original Miura. Lamborghini offers an optional transparent cover for exhibitionists who want to show off that V-10.
Headlights—all LED—and taillights take on something of a Y-shape. Quad exhaust, two pipes per side, flanks a large diffuser.
There's more room inside the Huracan than in its predecessor, along with better outward visibility. The dash is low, with more hexagonal elements added to its design. The look is functional look, including air conditioning outlets that look like freestanding equipment. Lamborghini says the Huracan will be comfortable on a long tour or just commuting to work. We're willing to test that, Mr. Winklemann.
The instrument panel is a high-resolution 1440 x 540 pixel, 12.3-inch TFT screen. Information is shown in three-dimensional graphics and visual effects. A quick processor allows a refresh rate of 60 frames per second, eliminating needle lag.
There's a need not to lag, however, in placing your order for a Lamborghini Huracan. In the first two months already 1,000 orders have been placed. Obviously somewhere the economy is booming for some fortunate someones. But at that rate—which Lamborghini is likely not to match with production—the Huracan will go faster from the showroom than it will on the road, and that's saying a lot.

After missing four straight practices as well as the Saints' wildcard win at Philadelphia with a chest injury he sustained in the regular-season finale, RB Pierre Thomas returned to work in a limited capacity on Thursday. He was stretching and taking part in individual drills during a portion of practice that was open to the media.
DE Akiem Hicks (ankle) was limited a second consecutive day of practice on Thursday. All other Saints players were full participants, including guard Jahri Evans, who was limited on Wednesday with an ankle injury
The Saints (12-5) visit top-seeded Seattle (13-3) for an NFC Divisional playoff on Saturday. Seattle S Kam Chancellor practiced fully on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with a hip injury. WR Percy Harvin, who also has a hurt hip, practiced fully in Seattle for a second straight day.
All other Seahawks were full participants in practice.
Thomas played all 16 of the Saints' regular-season games, rushing for a team-leading 549 yards and two touchdowns on 147 carries. He also had 513 yards and three touchdowns on 77 catches, the most among NFL running backs.
In his absence, the Saints rushed for 185 yards in their 26-24 win against Philadelphia, including 97 yards and a touchdown from Mark Ingram. Nonetheless, the Saints would be glad to get Thomas back when they face Seattle's top-ranked defense.

Gevlon came up with an interesting idea for helping out players who are struggling with the auction house: become his apprentice. I've received a few emails and even a comment on this site asking if I would do this on US servers.
I have two answers to this question, one will make you go "awwww :(" and the other will make you go "oooooo :D".
So here's answer #1: I don't have the time to take someone under my wing and truly tutor them (probably 2-4 hours of work). Every time I log onto wow I get an insane number of whispers regarding prot pvp, the gold guide, youtube videos, and this blog. I actually avoid getting on Markco unless it's essential (pvp or the occasional raid), because I do take the time to answer everyone's questions which can be quite time consuming. Whenever possible I redirect people to my forums, because many many questions have been answered there by the readers of this blog. In conclusion I just don't have the time to do what gevlon does.
Ok, I know you're all depressed so here comes answer #2: I will be running another gold guide contest! I haven't ironed out the details but I'm going to make one winner this time and allow voters to vote on ALL the entries; with one vote per person on the JMTC forums. I don't think it's going to be video format again, or even the same topic (all gold making tips), so give me some time to iron out all the gritty details.
For the comments: What kind of contest would you like to see? Another tips focused one? Perhaps something different like a wallpaper for justmytwocopper or an ingame screenshot? Be creative, all suggestions are welcome!

Right, so the contest is get a screeny??

Actually it's not that much time as it seems. First 1-2 hours, than half an hour every second day.

I don't think it will take too much time to teach someone how to make enough gold efficiently. The reason is because the person you are going to be talking to is already in a mind set of "i want to learn from you, I will do anything you tell me to do and try to make it even better"
It's not going to be a begging process of trying to tell them to please try something or the other.
In the interview you had recently you spend a long time telling them how to earn money with different methods. And these guys were not even there for that, it was an interview about your web site - the "real markco" - your PvP status - etc.
In other words, if you could teach them, in a interview that wasn't about making gold, how to make gold with minimum effort and time; then I think you can take even less time and accomplish way more with someone who is actually ready to learn from you.
Remember this, you are going to be talking to someone who WANTS to learn from you badly! no just an idiot who prefer to farm elementals all day.

I wish I could spare 1-2 hours, but I don't have the time. I literally spend 4-5 hours after working 9-5 each day on the blog and multiple websites associated with it.
Let's keep this on topic and post some ideas for the next contest :D
Markco said... July 21, 2009 at 1:20 PM
That interview was all about making gold.
Anonymous said... July 21, 2009 at 3:36 PM
well the mmo champ forums have been filled with photoshoppers doing sigs and such and it has become quite popular, maybe a contest for the best wallpaper or banner, and such. i think that would be cool.

Hey Markco, this is the anonymous who asked what you think about the apprenticeship, and i wanted to thank you for the prompt speed of answering the question.
And pertaining to your new gold contest. You have a contest to see who can make the gold utilizing 22 Steps to the Auction House, and everyone who applies has to email you a with a screen shot via photobucket, tinypic, etc etc..
Phatty said... July 21, 2009 at 8:05 PM
Personally I think another gold tips competition would be great.
How about with a twist such as give everyone an even starting ground, like creating a death knight on a new server and seeing how much gold they can make before they hit level 60.
Darth Solo said... July 21, 2009 at 8:57 PM
They say that a good deed never goes unpunished. The apprenticeship wouldn't work for me. I've tried helping a couple of people by giving them tips on how to make money after they whispered me for some gold and then I couldn't get rid of them for months. They kept begging for freebies, dungeon runs, gear and stuff. It's just not worth the hassle.

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 26 February 1828; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18280226-TC-AC-01; CL 4:329-331.
21. Comley Bank, Tuesday Morning [26 February 1828].
My Dear Alick,
I have sat down here, before breakfast, and cut away part of this sheet for the purpose, if possible, of defrauding his Majesty of eightpence-half-penny; believing it to be an overcharge on the part of his Majesty; and also that the single postage will suit you better. I fear still that we may not be able to manage this latter point. But in any case, you will receive the Twenty Pounds,1 which I here inclose for you (part of earnings from the London Foreign Review); and I trust it may partly reli[e]ve you from your 'straitened circumstances,'2 which indeed are a hard enough concern.
I fear you would not get the Letter I sent last Tuesday, but that you may still find it waiting for you tomorrow, with all our news untold, and our cry for butter unappeased. Doubtless, however, the little Missus will lose no time in satisfying us, if it lie in her power.— I have nothing farther, under this state of matters, to tell you of ourselves; for nothing new has happened; I am still scribbling as diligently as I can; and growing more and more impatient, as is my wont, to be done with scribbling. The rest of us are all well; and in our usual state of occupation.
I had a Letter yesterday from our Bavarian Doctor: it came to Dr Brewster, by a private hand, among some philosophical papers; and at first we knew not well what to make of the Melrose post-mark, and the reduced rate of post-charges; and supposed the Doctor might have taken leg-bail from Munich, and be lying squatted, somewhere in the East Country. But no: the beloved Mr Greatheart3 is still in his old quarters, dissecting, speculating, reading; in fair health and spirits, only very anxious to hear from us, my last letter not having yet come to hand. He longs especially for some message from you, and is 'afraid his letter may never have reached you.' It were well, if you had any time, to write to him: I here send you his address, which you will write on several lines as I mark them: Doctor Carlyle / Bey dem Herrn R. R. Freyherrn von Eichthal / in München / Bayern /. You may also write 'Germany' on some part of the letter for the information of British postmasters. But what is more important is that you take the letter to the post-office, and pay some halfcrown or so for it, without which it will not leave Britain, or even Dumfries. Choose a large sheet, and the thinnest you can get, for in Germany it pays by [weig]ht. And so send the worthy Greatheart all your news.
I ought now to tell you when I am coming down. If you [have] anything to say against my coming down very soon, then write me next Wednesday, and appoint the time. If not then expect a Letter from me this day fortnight; and therein I will specify the day, when I am to arrive at Templand; and you can send over Larry, and I will canter on the back of that ill-conditioned brute over to you next morning. For the present, why should I attempt cramming into short space what I shall soon have an opportunity of discussing in all its breadth and length?— I rejoice to hear of that infatuated mortal's letting his ligget [gate] go down, and so saving one the trouble of brashing it [breaking it down]. Have you done anything to the reek, or is it still raging as in Mount Vesuvius? I hope and pray that it may be subdued speedily and utterly.— There is no farther tidings of St. Andrews: indeed we expect to hear none, for a month or two. I am still in as good expectation, and still as indifferent about it as ever. For the rest, my Dear Alick, keep a good heart, and let neither this nor that in the warfare of existence too much depress you. It is a great truth that the thing which most cuts and grieves one at the present moment, will in twenty years most probably be matter of entire indifference. There is nothing really and permanently important, except a 'conscience void of offense.'4— I must leave the small remnant of this sheet to Jane and Mag. Write, as I have said, or expect me to write. I am ever, My dear Alick, Your true Brother— T. Carlyle.
[Postscript by Jane Carlyle, TC's sister:] My dear Mary. It is a long time since I heard of you and still longer since I saw you. I think we must establish a regular communication tho it were only on the small scale; for you must tell me all your proceedings, at the Craig, good or bad. how do you like the moor in wintre? do you still retire into your little parlour with the goodman and spend your quiet evenings in friendly chat? You must also tell something about that chasm in a certain quarter which I have heard heard [sic] is none of the most factual, or hopeless. give my love to our brother; is he still as busy as ever: I daresay he is or perhaps busier as the servants seem to be indifferent but I hope he is well. But I see notwithstanding of my small type that my room is drawing to a close. I trust however I shall hear of you soon. Tom & Jane send their kindest to you. no more can be said here my dear Mary but that I love you still and am ever your affect sister
Jane Carlyle
[TC:] By the bye! I had all but forgot to tell you to send the Minister5 to Mrs Welsh, who is ready and willing to settle with him, or 'meet him in any court in Britain.'— Send word to Scotsbrig about Jack, if you have any opportunity: his letter is dated 6th Feby. Breakfast is here; so I must go. Adieu!

TEMPE, Ariz. – With 'character' as one of the core tenets of the Sun Devil Way, Sun Devil Athletics hosts its first-ever Sun Devils Serve football game for Thursday night's match-up against Weber State at 7:30 p.m. PT on the Pac-12 Network.
ASU has partnered with various charitable organizations from around the Valley and will use the first home football game of the season to both honor and give back to local service groups and the community. Arizona State will incorporate the Sun Devils Serve theme throughout the evening from pregame fan experiences to in-game interactive video board elements.
Among the groups participating in Thursday night's game are Phoenix Children's Hospital, the Valley-area Make-A-Wish organization, Friends of Jaclyn, and St. Mary's food bank – which will collect food items from fans who wish donate.
St. Mary's Food Bank volunteers will be stationed outside the north and south entrances of Sun Devil Stadium on Thurs., Aug. 28 beginning at 5 p.m. and will remain through the first 30 minutes after the opening kickoff at 7:30 p.m. Fans are asked to help the one-in-four Arizona children who struggle with hunger each day by bringing three canned food items to help ASU reach its goal of restocking the St. Mary's Food Bank shelves.
Sun Devil Athletics has placed an emphasis on meaningful service work within the local community. In 2013-14, over 500 Sun Devil student-athletes participated in community service activities, which accounted for 241,126 community members served over the time span of 6,113.75 hours. Including the groups participating in Thursday night's game, Sun Devil Athletics has participated or partnered with the United Way, Sparky's Tour, Pat's Run, the Yuma Food Bank, Operation Fix It, the Hopi, Navajo, and San Carlos Apache Nations, among other charitable organizations.
