ASK IRA: Who's the greater liability: Anthony or Chalmers?
Q: It seems as if you're more comfortable with the idea of Joel Anthony starting again at center than Mario Chalmers starting at point guard. Why is this? — Tim.
A: Because with Udonis Haslem back in the rotation, it means Bosh will have to spend significant time in the middle in order to balance the rotation. So even if Joel is a starter, he would only be a token starter. Chalmers, by contrast, would play significant minutes at point guard as a starter, and has yet to show the stability to guide a championship contender.
Q: Some people think Wade is near the end of his prime, as he is approaching 30. Don't you think the additions LBJ and Bosh will extend his career? See Paul Pierce. — Dylan
A: Based on Dwyane's style of play, I don't think anyone other than Dwyane can lengthen Dwyane's career. Finding a reliable jumper and extending his range beyond the arc is what will determine the length of Dwyane's career. But I also do not see him as anywhere close to "near the end of his prime." He remains a Top 10 talent.
Q: Do you feel like for the Heat to be successful that LeBron has to be "the guy" much like Kobe is with the Lakers? — Ryan.
A: I don't think LeBron wants to be "the guy," which is why he signed to play alongside Wade and Bosh. After what we saw during the Finals, getting LeBron simply to be more aggressive in big-time moments might be the next step.
Q: Ira, what do you think if the Heat sacrifice Haslem, Joel or Miller to get a veteran point guard or center? — Rafy.
A: I don't think that would happen, based on this team's already-thin depth. And I'm not sure such a package could land a star-level talent in return.
Q: What's the ultimate goal of these "small market" owners? Dan Gilbert's grudge scares me. — Taylor.
A: Actually, Gilbert is not asking for much, other than the Heat being banished to the D-League.

"American Idol" 2014 resumes March 19 on FOX as the top 10 hopefuls hit the stage live to sing a collection of recent top 10 hits. Information pertaining to the show came in vast quantity just hours before the broadcast, as Bovada Sportsbook updated the season 13 betting odds, and The Idol Pad leaked the evening's song spoilers.
Favored to win the competition with 13/4 odds as of the March 19 live show is aspiring country crooner Dexter Roberts, who is slated to perform Florida Georgia Line's anthem "Cruise." To date, Roberts has turned in a succession of strong, crowd-pleasing country tunes, including his takes on Montgomery Gentry's "Lucky Man" and the classic "Sweet Home Alabama."
A pair of guys are tied for second place with 4/1 odds of winning season 13. While Alex Preston is scheduled to sing One Direction's mega hit "Story of My Life," rocker-in-the-making Caleb Johnson will channel Lady Gaga with his take on "The Edge of Glory."
Ranked fourth with 11/2 odds is teen Jena Irene Asciutto, who will tackle Zedd's "Clarity," while fifth-place Sam Woolf, the previous Vegas favorite, holds 7/1 odds and will sing "We Are Young" by Fun and Janelle Monae.
C.J. Harris, who is slated to sing the recent Hunter Hayes high school anthem "Invisible," is rated sixth with 8/1 odds. Just behind Harris in the seven spot with 9/1 odds of victory is Majesty Rose, who will perform the Avicii and Aloe Blacc collaboration "Wake Me Up," while eighth-rated Jessica Meuse holds 10/1 odds and will sing "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People.
A pair of girls rounds out the bottom of the chart. The vivacious Malaya Watson holds second-worst 20/1 odds, while M.K. Nobilette of San Francisco is the definitive competition long shot with 50/1 odds of her own. While Watson is scheduled to sing Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man," Nobilette will tackle Pink's "Perfect."
"American Idol" 2014 continues March 19 on FOX with the top 10 performance show.

Thank goodness for the lustiness in the hot tub. Rob Corrdry and most of the gang return for more wild escapades through time.
Taking place immediately after the return of the hot tub travelers, "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" picks up at their supposed happily-ever-after. Remember, an infinitely depressed and suicidal Lou had gone back in time and altered the future to one where he didn't feel like such a "loser". When they returned home he was filthy rich and had cast himself in time as the founder of the internet.
In "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" he has dubbed himself the "father of the internet" and he and his friends are living out the spoils of their previous trip. Until Lou is shot in the bajoinkies.
To stop this heinous crime and catch the shooter, Lou (Rob Corrdry), Nick (Craig Robinson) and Jacob (Clark Duke) -- Lou's nerdy son, hop in the hot tub for one more acid trip to the past.
Only this time they land far ahead in the future.
Though it's not an emotional, epic drama "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" is a highly anticipated sequel. With the release of the Red Band trailer at Comic-Con the anticipation just got all the more electric. The trailer features a crime mystery that takes this psychedelic buddy film to the next generation.
We have the three returning stars from the original, plus Chevy Chase and the addition of Adam Scott, replacing an MIA John Cusack with a similar quirky and boyish charm.
Steve Pink (About Last Night) returns as the capitán executing another hijinks laced Josh Heald (Hot Tub Time Machine) script.
Expected release date? December 25, 2014. Merry Christmas, Terminators!

Suffragette women lived bold, amazing lives worth celebrating and their stories are worth sharing with the special women in your life.
These themed suffragette gifts are meaningful, inspiring, unique and very fun. You won't find these anywhere else!
Each gift kit combines the story of a famous suffragette or supporter of women's suffrage along with a set of gifts idea, including ideas for homemade gifts too. I'd recommend purchasing or making a minimum of three items to create the theme feeling and you can spend as little as $15 dollars to create these.
Especially great for:
"Forward into Light" was the motto of the suffrage movement in the United States, and was associated with a beautiful elegant brunette named Inez Milholland.
This is a great gift idea for to create a cozy space in her home for feeling the suffragette "vibe" and allowing it to inspire her daily life.
Tragically, Inez died while campaigning for women's suffrage but her lovely spirit and determination can be celebrated forever.
Suggested gifts:
The Pankhurst family - Emmeline, and her daughters Christabel, Sylvia, and Adela were the founders and leaders of the British suffrage movement.
Their incredible family dedication to the cause is a testament to their belief in the power of the suffragette "sisterhood".
Imagine what it would have been like to sit around their dining room table and discuss the idea that women needed the right to vote while having tea?
The Pankhursts were so famous, they even made it into lyrics of the song "Sister Suffragette" from the classic Disney film Mary Poppins. Enjoy the link to the video and see if you can catch the mention of Emily Pankhurst...
Raise your glass for a toast with Alice! Alice Paul was the brilliant organizer of the American National Women's Party which used creative campaigning and courageous methods to win the women the right to vote with the passing of the 19th amendment in 1920. Have drinks together and watch this Iron Jawed Angel in action.
Gift ideas:
Who doesn't love a good relaxing bath in the tub?
And who doesn't love a good read while soaking? With this gift, you can help her "soak in the truth".
Soujourner Truth was a phenomenal woman, an abolistionist who was way ahead of her time...even the suffrage movement. Her famous speech called, "Ain't I a Woman?" at the very first National Women's Rights Convention in Worcester, Massachusetts is well known and inspires all.
Soujourner was such a powerful speaker, she was once accused of being a man. She unbuttoned her blouse and proved the accuser was wrong. So, it is fitting that she inspire a great women you know to disrobe and get into the bath!

ROCKFORD, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women's tennis team took down the Milwaukee Panthers on Sunday by a score of 4-3 for its sixth win of the season. It was the second time this year the Huskies found themselves on the winning end while at the Boylan Center. With the victory, NIU sits at 6-4 on the season.
The win was led by the singles play of seniors Sara McLaughlin (Moline, Ill./Moline) and Emily Rogers (Rochester, Minn./Century). McLaughlin notched a three-set victory over Milwaukee's Maddy Soule 6-4, 0-6, 6-4. Rogers picked up her first win since February 5 by beating Kelly Fritz 6-0, 6-2. Also, adding a tally to the singles win column was freshman Nelle Youel (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake Central), who took down the Panther's Chelsea Bailey by score of 6-4, 6-1.
Doubles play, a strong spot for the Huskies all season, went 2-1 on the day bringing its overall record to 19-11 on the season. The first victory came from the freshmen combination of Arantza De La Torre (San Luis Potosi, Mexico/Motolinia) and Youel. The win came over the team of Gow/Bailey by score of 8-2 to move Youel/De La Torre to 4-4 on the year. Picking up the other doubles win was the red-hot tandem of freshman Stephanie McDonald (Harare, Zimbabwe/St. Anne's Diocesan College) and sophomore Haley Dekkinga (Allegan, Mich./Allegan). The duo won their sixth straight match by defeating the pairing of Fritz/Kurer 8-6. With the doubles victories, NIU was able to edge out a 4-3 win that puts the Huskies in a good place heading into spring break.
"It was a tough day," said NIU Head Coach Ryun Ferrell. "We played our tails off. It was a complete team win. Everyone participated in this one. There is no rest for the weary. We need to get ready for spring break."
The Huskies will continue their schedule over spring break with three matches in Daytona, Fla. NIU will meet Youngstown State in a neutral setting on Tuesday, Mar. 13, and visit Embry-Riddle on Wednesday, Mar. 14.

I am just arrived home after the dress rehearsal for the Annapolis Heritage Society's play Washing Soldiers 1797. While our off stage drama is not nearly as large as the novel, I am sure that Davies would recognize our process and personalities. I have decided that Davies may have been exaggerating for dramatic purposes but, he had a great understanding of how things work off stage. I am at least doing my best to live up to the somewhat damaged character label. I am sure that Writer - Director Kent Thompson, and various other members of the cast would also gleefully step up to the label.
In all honesty, it was a good rehearsal tonight. People were hitting their cues, remembering the words to the songs and seemingly enjoying themselves. We even tried out a few new tricks tonight to keep people who have seen the play last year on their toes. One of the tricks was so new that some members of the cast did not even know about it.
If you would like to see a bit of Annapolis Royal's history turned gently on its ear, Washing Soldiers 1797 will take place on June 25, 26 and July 24, 25 and 31. All performances start at 7:00pm at the Annapolis Royal Farmer's Market Square.
All for now,

The GTX 295 features 480 stream processors and 1792MB of GDDR3 memory in total, with core and memory clocks of 576MHz and 1998MHz, respectively, and a 448-bit memory bus.

The new card is already available through multiple third-party board makers and should retail for an estimated retail price of $499.

No, you do not, however Hartford residence is most favorable due to travel.
Q: What is the rent for each storefront and will we need to cover utility costs?
We are working with property owners on a small flat fee to cover utility costs. You should budget for utility costs.
Q: Who is on the iConnect Committee?
The Committee currently consists of 12 people which include City of Hartford staff members from the Divisions of Economic Development, MECA and Planning and Zoning; The Business for Downtown Hartford; The Greater Hartford Arts Council, DECD and a Community stakeholder.
Q: What is the minimum number of hours that the storefront needs to be open to the public?
Applicant(s) must be prepared to keep their store open at least five days and two evenings a week, including one weekend day/evening. A commitment of hosting one workshop or special event each month is also required with the iConnect staff assisting with promotion and marketing.
Q: If we want to stay beyond the 6 month or year long term, what will the rent be?
We would love for you to stay beyond the project period. All program participants must negotiate long- term lease terms on their own directly with the property owner. In addition, there may be opportunity to explore programs with the City's Economic Development Division and of course we'd be happy to help make this happen!
Q: What is the safety of the buildings and who has liability?
Before program participants are matched with a space, we will work with city inspectors to assure the storefront is habitable. We are exploring various options with the City to try and cover all insurance costs.
Q: Do I need liability insurance when submitting my full application?
No, you do not.
Q: Is there a certain amount for which I will need to insure the storefront?
We are working on this and will have an answer ASAP!
Q: Are children under the age of 18 allowed to participate in the program?
Yes, as long as there will be adult supervision and Connecticut Child Labor Laws are abided. Children under the age of 18 may not apply for the grant.
Q: Does build out of my project come out of my budget?
Yes. You should account for all build out costs in your budget. The iConnect Committee may grant funds or equipment to assist in concept build outs. Please note that all build out should be temporary.
Q: Who is responsible for the security of the artwork or equipment in the storefront?
Each program participant is responsible and this should be taken into consideration and covered by the insurance you secure.
Q: Should I have a tax ID?
Yes, you need to register as a business and have your tax ID visible by your cash register.
Q: Can I tour the spaces prior to submitting the full application?
Not at this time. Please keep an eye on our www.hartford.gov/meca page because as we finalize paperwork with each property owner, we will be posting square footage, photographs, and other relevant property details. If possible, we will try to arrange a tour of the properties for finalists before the final presentations.
Q: Can artwork or signage be digital displays?
Yes it can. However, it cannot be offsite advertising for you or others. All signage must follow City of Hartford zoning code.
Q: If my idea will work in multiple properties, do I need to provide a property preference?
No you do not. Please note this flexibility.
Q: If I am selected and install my project, will I need to provide any reporting at the end of my project?
Yes we will request information at completion. Exact information is TBD at this point but all program participants will be given the reporting requirements.
Q: If a space is too big for my project, can two different projects be installed in one storefront?
This will be determined by the iConnect Committee on a case-by-case basis. If you know a space is too large for your project, please do not list that address as your preference.
Q: How many finalists will there be and how many storefronts?
We intend to have at least 4 finalists with a list of alternates.
Q: How do we find out about potential utility costs?
We'll get this for you.
Q: If I am a for-profit business and I collaborate with an art installation, how are we to work it out financially?
That is for you and your collaborator to determine.
Q: If I make a profit from sales of my artwork or other retail, does the profit go back into iConnect Hartford?
No it does not. You get to keep your profit and, with your profit, we hope you consider staying Downtown beyond the 6 months to a year, as this is the ultimate goal of the program!
Q: How can I estimate utility costs in my RFP budget without knowing which property I might activate?
We have requested estimated utility costs per property from the utility companies. We are simply awaiting to hear back. Please just budget a ballpark amount in your full application. If you are engaged as a finalist due to your innovative concept (you won't be chosen according to your utilities budgeted – we promise!), you will be able to edit your budget in between selection and your finalist presentation.
Q: Property details are still not readily available, how am I to customize my application to a location?
We continue to actively seek out accurate property details. That relayed, we do not require, nor ask, that you customize your application to a specific space. You are welcome to provide your property preference. However, it will be your innovative concept that the iConnect committee will be assessing. If you are selected as a program participant by the committee, the iConnect team will be matching each concept with its best-suited space and you will readily have all property details available to you to prepare your finalist presentation.

Sponsored Validation for Cisco UCS
November 27th, 2012 by Editor
With UCS Central being one of Cisco's newest releases around UCS, as a kind of "global manager for UCS managers," we wanted to make sure we were actively involved in this release. Cisco UCS Central is just one more piece to add to your UCS reference architecture of choice. To read a great blog about some of the benefits of UCS Central from Cisco themselves I would recommend this read: Introducing UCS Central: Unified Computing at Global Scale
Cisco UCS Central really enables that centralized view across your stacks for a centralized management view for UCS orchestration. In this first phase of UCS Central you get that bird's eye view of UCS across domains, groups and service profiles that might extend beyond one set of chassis.
At ScienceLogic, we were able to work with Cisco closely as an early adopter for Cisco UCS Central implementation. One of the key features of ScienceLogic's platform is leveraging a technology we call Dynamic Component Mapping (DCM). This technology allows you to track and trend dynamic behavior of technology across platform as that platform is actively changing. This technology is a perfect fit for UCS Central. ScienceLogic has had one of the leading UCS coverage's for some time now, and with the addition of coverage for UCS Central you get a great near real-time view of all your UCS implementations and the global policies that they have and maintain with UCS Central. In essence, ScienceLogic with UCS Central and UCS directly, you have a complete view of your environment across both physical geographic locations, as well as virtual ones.
With direct monitoring of UCS manager individually as well as monitoring them through UCS Central you have built in false positive protection. With having multiple layers of redundancy built into UCS, you will know how it's performing, both on a global perspective as well as an isolated perspective. Because of ScienceLogic's granular levels of multi-tenancy, and the use of DCM enablement, we can show the full topology view on one pane of glass.
Having visibility into a global manager that sees into each UCS manager while still monitoring UCS Managers themselves provides built-in resiliency that you need.Tagged with: Cisco UCS, ScienceLogic

Regarding the Jan. 31 Columbian story "Inmates help rescue boys," I don't know what these inmates are serving time for, but they should be proud of their actions as heroes for those three boys they rescued.
Nelson Pettis, Larry Bohn and Jon Fowler should be commended and their selfless acts considered when it comes time for release or parole. Many people would not have put themselves at risk that day, but these guys did not hesitate to put their own lives at risk to save those boys.

The LSU Tigers bring 6 regulars back from 2011. But, the loss of Mikie Mahtook, the energetic CF, could prove to be a big loss this season. Â The player most likely to replace Mahtook is last years second baseman JaCoby Jones who is moving to centerfield . Jones is a terrific 5 tool player and former high school shortstop. The Tigers have a very good starting rotation and look to improve a bullpen that had its issues last year. They have plenty of senior leadership in Grant Dozar, Tyler Hanover, and Austin Nola. The newcomers to the team that should make an impact this season are JC transfer and former starting tailback at Northwestern OF Â Arby Fields, LHSP Cody Glenn, 1B Tyler Moore, RHRP Aaron Nola, OF Chris Sciambria, and new 2B and JC transfer Casey Yocum.
The staff:
Paul Mainieri-is in his 6th season at LSU since taking over for the legend Skip Bertman. Mainieri has been in the coaching game for 29 years and has 1025 career victories. He has a 5 year record at LSU of 211-104-2 and he lead the 2009 Tigers to the national title. Paul has lead the Tigers to Omaha two times (08-09). 29 players have been taken in the MLB draft during Mainieri's time on campus. He managed the University of Notre Dame from 1995-06 and also was the first civilian coach at Air Force. He played in the White Sox system as a player.
Alan Dunn- Dunn brings plenty of professional experience to the Tigers as their new pitching coach. He spent 2011 as the Orioles minor league pitching coordinator and served as the clubs bullpen coach the 4 seasons prior to that. He has 22 years of experience that also includes stops with the Cubs and Vanderbilt. He pitched at Alabama and was the Tigers 4th round pick in 1983 (spent 2 seasons in the minor leagues)
Javi Sanchez- The 5th year hitting coach will also work with the catchers and baserunners. He played under Coach Mainieri at Notre Dame (01-04) and was the starting SS in the 2002 CWS for the Fightin Irish.
Will Davis– The volunteer assistant in his 5th year on the staff. He is primarily the club's OF coach. Played catcher at LSU from 04-07.
Ross Brezovsky– The team's coordinator of baseball OPS. Former Notre Dame player who hit .289 with 11 HR and 130 RBI during his time in Great Bend (05-08)
3B Tyler Hanover- The 5'6 senior becomes a 4 year starter for LSU. He was drafted in the 40th round by the Yankees last year but comes back to LSU to try and win another national title. His freshman season for the College champs he started 65 games (3B) batting .321 with 5 HR and 47 RBI stealing 6. His sophomore season he was the club's 2B batting .332 with a pair of HR and 35 RBI. Last year he went back to 3B and hit .311 with no HR and 25 RBi stealing 5. He is a terrific bunter laying down 15 sacrifices last year. He has some pop and scouts love his quick hips and hands and confidence on the field. He was a 2nd team HS All American and came to LSU from HS in North Carolina.
2B Casey Yocum-Â The 5'11 JR transferred in from Feather Rivers College after a HS carrer at Reed in Nevada. He is a very slick fielder and was a SS but with Nola coming back he will give LSU terrific defense up the middle. Last season in CC he hit .354 with 9 extra base hits and 10 SB driving in 25. His first year he batted .353 with 11 extra base hits and 27 RBI. A 4 year letter winner in HS where he batted .443 with 16 doubles, 2 HR, and 16 RBI his senior year. Blessed with terrific bat control he should be a fine #2 hitter for the Tigers.
DH Ralph Rhymes- He is listed as the team's DH but started the first 2 games against Air Force in RF and LF. A great story as he did not make the team in 2008 as a walk on and had to transfer to LSU-Eunice to play. At LSU-Eunice he absolutely raked before becoming the National JUCO Player of the Year. The success he had let to a roster spot at LSU where he has not disappointed. He was the primary DH last season getting 49 starts there as well as 5 in RF and 2 in LF. He hit .360 with 3 HR and 42 RBI. Came back to school as a JR after saying no to the Pirates after they selected him in the 40th round.
RF Mason Katz- Katz is going to see time in RF, LF, and 1B this season. The JR from powerhouse Jesuit HS (has produced a dozen big leaguers including Connie Ryan, Rusty Staub, Will Clark, and Johnny Giavotella) was 1st team All State in 08-09 batting .410 with 7 HR as a SR. Played in 23 games as a freshman getting 8 starts in LF and batting .318 with 5 RBI. He hit .337 with 6 SB last season getting 38 starts in RF and 12 at 1B. Chosen to play in Fenway Park last summer as a Cape Cod All Star when he hit .272 with 3 HR and 18 RBI.
LF Jackson Slaid- The sophomore from Lakeside, LA is one of the most improved players on the team. He got into just 9 games last year as the backup C batting .167 with a double. Described as a gritty player with lots of swagger he is a tireless worker who has earned a middle of the line up slot with the Tigers. A 3 time all state performer in HS he hit .585 as a senior and also was his school's quarterback. His work began to show off on the stat sheet when he hit .340 with a pair of HR and 35 RBI last summer in the prospect league before having a big fall season for Coach Mainieri.
CF JaCoby Jones- One of the finest athletes in the college game the Richton, Mississippi native was the team's 2B last year after a fine career at SS in HS. He is the type of athlete that could play all over the field without skipping a beat. He is the one player really being asked to put on the shoes left behind by Mikie Mahtook. The freshman All American batted .338 last season with 4 HR and 32 RBI stealing 12 bags. He was the 2010 Mississippi HS player of the year and a 2nd team All American. He left his home state as its all time leader in hits. In his 4 years as a starter (making all state all 4 years) in baseball he hit 30 HR drove in 149 runs and batted over .500 stealing 132 bases. He was also a WR and Strong Safety in football. Has terrific bat speed, is a plus runner with a good arm. He also has a great baseball body earning comps to Troy Tulowitzki in HS who slipped to the 19th round (Astros) in HS because he was adamant he would go to college. Runs a 6.60 60 and after playing CF last summer on the Cape was said to be the best CF there. He will be a very high draft pick in 2013.
SS Austin Nola- The senior SS enters the 2012 season with 155 starts under his belt. He has been drafted twice (48th round Rockies in 2008 and 31st round Blue Jays last year) A 4 year starter with a great arm is a plus work guy and gym rat. Took the SS job as a freshman 40 games into the season and batted .240 with 3 HR and 18 RBI. His sophomore season he hit .320 with 5 HR and 52 RBI. Last year he hit .296 with 2 HR and 42 RBI. The 2008 Gatorade Player of the Year in Louisiana will get to spend his senior season playing with his brother Aaron who will be a valuable reliever for the Tigers.
1B Tyler Moore- The freshman from Dunham HS should end up as the team's everyday 1B by the time tournament play rolls around. The LH hitter has a smooth line drive stroke and can also play C and some 3B. Â He hit .574 with 15 HR including 10 in his last 12 games. An aggressive hitter that puts the ball in play as he struck out just 3 times in 117 at bats as a senior.
C Ty Ross- The 6'2 207 pound sophomore from Naples, Florida was the Phillies 46th round pick out of HS. He was the primary C last year taking over for the departed Micah Gibbs and he was chosen for the freshman All SEC team. He plays very good defense and has a cannon for an arm but is still growing as a hitter. He hit .223 with 1 HR and 20 RBI last year.
C Jordy Snikeris- The senior from Austin, Texas began his career at Texarkana CC. He will be the backup C and get some at bats at DH this season. He played in 19 G last year with 7 starts hitting .259 (7-27) with one RBI. He was a 2010 1st team JUCO All American when he batted .400 with 7 HR and 49 RBI.
1B/3B Grant Dozar- Grant has been your quintessential college player as the senior has been a popular student athlete on and off the field. The Morgan City HS alum has served a variety of roles for the Tigers. His freshman season he played in 26 G (6 starts- 3 at 3B and 3 at DH) batting .265 with 2 HR and 6 RBI. His sophomore season he got 18 starts at 3B, 3 at C, and 1 at 2B and DH as he batted .277 with 1 HR and 16 RBI. His junior season he played 1B (14 starts) and C (3 starts) batting .250 with 2 HR and 9 RBI. He was a 3 time all state selection in high school hitting .500 as a senior with 8 HR and going 7-3 with a 1.25 e.r.a on the mound. He also was a 3 time all district quarterback. He should see some starts at 1B this season.
INF Beau Didier- Bob gave the LSU fans an awesome introduction as he hit a 2 run PH HR versus Vanderbilt in his first at bat as a freshman. But, so far that has been the highlight of an injury riddled career. He ended up taking a medical redshirt that season after he underwent TJ surgery. He came back in 2010 and played in 19 games including 8 starts at 3B batting .222 (8-36) with 5 RBI. In 2011 he played in 17 games and hit just .143 with one RBI. The Federal Way, Washington native comes from solid baseball bloodlines as his grandfather Mel was a standout 2 sports (Baseball-Football) player at LSU and is a well known baseball guy serving the role of scouting director for the Expos (70-75), and Player Development director for the Mariners (77-78)and Diamondbacks (98-99,2002) He has also worked for the Rangers and Blue Jays. Beau's father Bob played for the Braves, Tigers, and Red Sox from 1969-74. Beau was the Pirates 40th round pick out of HS.
3B/C Evan Powell- The freshman from Lake Charles, LA was an all state 4A performer last year batting .514. He was also the school's QB and S. He is a strong kid that can run (4.6 in the 40) well and is a versatile player that will see time at 3B and could catch some too.
OF Chris Sciambria- A nice player who enters college after a fine HS career at Catholic high. At 5'9 he possesses a short, quick swing. Led his team to the state title as a junior in 2010 when he batted .382. Hit .433 with 8 HR as a senior. He also shined in a Perfect Game wood bat tourney going 12-20. He was his high school football team's kicker and was a 4.0 student. He has always been a LSU fan and went to the 2000 CWS as a 7 year old.
OF/1B Alex Edward- Alex started 37 games last season batting .279 with a pair of HR and 27 RBI. He saw action at 1B and both corner OF spots. A line drive, spray hitter won't be an everyday guy this season but he will get at bats at several positions as the season progresses. He missed the opening series against Air Force with a hamstring injury. His freshman season he hit .314 with 2 HR and 15 RBI playing 3B, and both corner OF spots. RH bat from Parkview Baptist HS (LA)
OF/2B/3B Jared Foster-Â The Lake Charles, LA native spent the football season as a reserve QB but has since said he is leaving football to concentrate on a much harder game, baseball. In HS he batted .371 with 9 HR and 33 RBI while throwing for 3,090 yards with 30 passing TD's and 6 rushing TD's. Coach Mainieri has already committed to him as one of the key players coming off the bench.
OF Arby Fields- One of the most interesting stories in big time college baseball as Arby was the starting tailback as a freshman at Northwestern University. He was a freshman all big 10 performer but fell out of favor with the coaching staff as a sophomore after he developed fumble-itis. Still, the staff was shocked when he announced he was leaving the team to transfer to Cypress CC. At Cypress last year he hit .344 with 14 extra base hits and 25 RBI with 9 SB. Still when he announced he was transferring to LSU many though it would be to try football again. But, he is now just a baseball player and with his athleticism he could pull a Taiwan Easterling (former Florida State Football player and current Cubs farmhand) and receive a lot of attention from pro scouts. He has already been drafted twice (32nd round 2009 by Braves and 27th round last year by the Padres) The switch hitter runs well and is described as a physical player.
Friday Kevin Gausman- A sure bet to be a top 15 pick in this draft the draft eligible sophomore from Grandview, Colorado has an electric arm. The 6'4 righty has hit 100 on the gun before but settles in the mid 9's with excellent movement. Last summer he pitched for Team USA getting 2 starts and striking out 9 over 8.2 IP. As a freshman he was 5-6 with a 3.51 e.r.a in 89.2 IP with 86 K's and 23 bb's. The two time all state P was 21-6 over 3 HS seasons.
Saturday Ryan Eades- The 6'3 sophomore from Slidell, LA was the Rockies 19th round selection in HS. He enters his sophomore season after a fine summer on the Cape where he was the pitcher of the year going 3-0 with a .84 e.r.a striking out 23 and walking 7 in 32 IP. A 2 way HS star he could not pitch his senior year after suffering a torn labrum but he did hit batting .400 with 6 HR and 39 RBI. Throws a mid 90's fastball with a mid 70's curve and change he throws in the high 7's. Last season he pitched in 18 games with 6 starts going 4-1 with a 4.81 e.r.a and a 31/18 k/bb in 43 IP. He really shined in his last 4 starts going 3-0 with 16K in 24 IP.
Sunday Kurt McCune- The 6'3 slender lefty from Norco, CA. started 14 games as a freshman finishing with a 7-3 record and a 3.3.1 e.r.a striking out 68 and walking 25 in 89.2 IP. Hitters batted .221 against him. He finished the year strong going 2-0 with a 3.12 e.r.a and a 21/6 k/bb ratio in 26 IP. Throws a low 9's fastball with a good slider and brings plenty of "moxie" to the mound. A strike thrower he was a 2 time all stater going 9-4 as a senior and 6-3 as a junior. He struck out 184 batters in 159 innings combined his last 2 years of HS.
Midweek Cody Glenn- The freshman lefty has won the midweek starter spot after a solid baseball career in Houston, TX. He was a 4 year letterman in baseball, basketball, and golf. He was drafted in the 15th round last year by the Blue Jays. His senior year he was 5-2 with a 2.33 e.r.a and a 90/23 k/bb ratio in 48 IP. Throws from a 3/4 slot and sits in the low 9's with a plus slider.
RHP Joe Broussard- Sophomore righty standing at 6'1 205 from Holy Cross HS. He throws in the low 9's with emerging off speed stuff. Pitched in 14 games (1 start) last year going 0-1 with a 5.19 e.r.a in 26 IP and a 28/9 k/bb ratio. Won't hit at LSU but was an excellent hitter in HS.
RHP Joey Bourgeois- The junior returns from a year off when he received a medical redshirt after undergoing TJ surgery. He has had quite a journey to this season after being drafted in the 39th round by Atlanta following one season at JC. He first went to school at LSU-Eunice where he was 12-2 with 98 K's in 87 innings. He transferred to LSU where he pitched in 18 games with 12 starts in 2010 going 4-1 with a 6.68 e.r.a and a 48/31 k/bb ratio in 61 IP.
RHP Michael Reed- The sophomore from Houston, Texas redshirted last year but got into 11 games as a freshman with 5 starts struggling with a 9.15 e.r.a and 13/12 k/bb in 20 innings. He bounced back and made up his innings having a nice summer going 5-2 and striking out 54 in 64 innings in the Northwoods League.
LHP Chris Cotton- The former walk on has become a fine situational reliever for the Tigers. The 5'10 lefty pitched in 13 games (13 IP) last season with no record striking out 14 and walking just 2 in those innings. Pitched last summer for the Acadiana Cane Cutters throwing in 16 G with 33 IP and 28 K. He was also 3-1 with a .55 e.r.a. In high school he was 9-1 with a 1.46 e.r.a as a senior at Byrd HS.
RHP Nick Goody- Last year's achilles heel the bullpen looks to have much better seasons with the addition of P like Goody. Nick comes to LSU from State College of Florida where he threw 84 innings the last 2 years with a 6-2 record and a 114/33 k/bb ratio and a 1.29 e.r.a He turned down the Yankees (22nd round) to come to Baton Rouge and certainly should be just a one year P for the Tigers. Throws a heavy fastball at 94 with a slider and change he throws in the upper 7's and low 8's respectively.
RHP Aaron Nola- The younger brother of 4 year starting SS Austin enters college as a highly regarded pitching prospect. Last June he was taken in the 22nd round by the Blue Jays slipping because of his strong commit to LSU. He throws a low 9's fastball from a 3/4 slot working with plenty of sink. He also possesses a potentially plus change that will keep many a hitter off balance. The 2011 5A player of the year and Mr. Baseball in Louisiana. He was 21-2 in high school. He also hit .364 with 4 HR his senior season. He will miss plenty of bats striking out 213 in 197 HS innings.
RHP Kevin Berry- Kevin, a redshirt junior, served a valuable role for the 2011 Tigers as he field in for struggling closer Matty Ott in the middle of the season. Eventually, he returned to a set up role. Came out of the gates hot as a first year Tiger (transfer from UNO) Pitching in 26 games with a 3-1 record, 2 SV, and a 3.14 e.r.a in 28.2 IP striking out 16 and walking 8. Hitters batted .210 against him. A big ground out P will be relied on to get his teams out of a jam with ground balls. He transferred to LSU after his former program at the University of New Orleans dropped to a D-III program (it has since been moved to D-II. As a freshman at UNO he suffered a hamstring injury early in the season and was redshirted. He batted .333 (5-15) as an infielder in 10 games but did not pitch. His redshirt freshman season he batted .281 with a HR and 13 RBI in 37 games while going 2-5 with a 7.05 e.r.a in 45 IP with 32 K and 21 BB. He was expected to transfer to Tulane but ended up changing his mind as he ended up at LSU.
Closer RHP Nick Rumbelow- The sophomore from Bullard, Texas is taking the closer role this year from the departed Matty Ott. Nick throws a low 9's fastball with a terrific slider for his out pitch. Pitched in 10 games last year going 2-0 with a 4.85 e.r.a and 16 k's with 11 bb's in 13 IP. He made up innings over the summer in the Northwoods League striking out 60 in 51 IP. His senior season he went 11-3 with a .52 e.r.a and 127 k's. He was also played outside linebacker, punted and was his school's point guard.
others/red shirts:
C Matt Fury-Â Fury won't get many at bats but the fans will see him quite a bit warming up pitchers and getting in some games as a pinch runner. He walked on the team in 2009 and served as the team's bullpen catcher. He has played in 12 games the last 2 seasons getting 3 at bats with one hit.
RHP Carson Baranik- The 41st round pick for the Reds after a fantastic HS career (Parkway HS in Louisiana) throws in the low to mid 90's. His 2 seamer has been clocked at 94 and he flashes a solid feel for his change but his go to pitch is a heavy slider that touches 85. He was 4-1 with a 1.70 e.r.a in his senior season with 57 K's and just 4 walks. Unfortunately, he was suspended for a DUI on 2/12 and will not be a part of the team to start the season. (No time has been set for his return)
LHP Brent Bonvillain- The 6'0 Junior transferred from Delgado CC where he was 8-3 with a 3.43 e.r.a and a 78/28 k/bb ratio in 78 innings. He throws 3 pitches for strikes and his fastball touches 92 but sits in the upper 8's. He could earn some time on the mound in a more valuable role as the season progresses.
LHP Aaron Johnson-Â A 5'10 lefty from Baton Rouge enters school after a standout career at Dunham HS where he was teammates with fellow freshman C/1B Tyler Moore. He throws a 90 mph fastball and could see time as a hitter too before his time at LSU is done. As a freshman in HS he hit 11 HR and batted .580 receiving tons of attention across the country. Hit a dozen HR as a JR and was 6-4 on the bump with a 3.85 e.r.a with 89 K in 46 innings.
RHP Braden Strickland- A freshman from Gun Barrel, Texas was a 2A All State selection at Eustace HS. He finished the season 7-1 with and 132 K's. He was also a solid offensive player batting .500 with 10 HR and 44 RBI. His junior season he was 7-3 with a 1.86 e.r.a striking out 112 in 68 IP. He batted .397 with 9 HR and 30 RBI. Finished his HS career with 25 wins and a 1.50 e.r.a and 402 K's in 238 IP.
LHP Christian Trent- The 5'11 freshman lefty from St.Paul HS in Louisiana is a strike thrower with a good breaking ball. His senior year he was 9-3 with a 1.24 e.r.a throwing 8 CG. His junior season he went 8-3 and was 10-1 as a sophomore.

Giant Bicycles
Bicycles are what the Bike Co-op is all about. Quite simply we look on bicycles as an all-round good thing. That's why we don't restrict our range to any specific niche or brand. That's why our bicycle range includes road bikes, cross bikes, touring bikes, mountain bikes, women's bikes, unisex bikes, kids' bikes, balance bikes, pro-quality bikes and beginners' bikes. We also cover the whole sector that comes under the rainbow banner, 'hybrid bikes' including flat bar commuter/hybrid bikes, high-bar comfort bikes, Pashley bikes (a group unto themselves), folding bikes and electric bikes.
Why? Because as Pulitzer Prize-winning Californian novelist William Saroyan famously wrote, 'The bicycle is the noblest invention of mankind. I love the bicycle. I always have. I can think of no sincere, decent human being, male or female, young or old, saint or sinner, who can resist the bicycle.'
Our bicycle sizing guide may be useful.

Body parts discovered stuffed inside garbage bags and left on the side of roads in Michigan Thursday are believed to be those of an adult white male. The bagged body parts may have been tossed from a grayish-white, mid-1990s SUV, according to a witness and NBC News on Friday, Jan. 31.
The human remains were found in China Township and St. Clair Township when the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office was tipped off yesterday afternoon about a "suspicious incident".
Police were called around 4 p.m. Thursday by a woman reporting a "heavy-set middle aged white female" dumping garbage bags along the road. When deputies investigated, the body parts were found.
Remains were discovered in four locations including three spots along Allington Road and another spot along Fred W. Moore Highway, according to St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon.
The truck the woman was driving is believed to possibly be a GMC Jimmy or Chevrolet Trailblazer. Donnellon told reporters they're treating the case as a homicide.
Detectives are welcoming any tips from the public concerning the incident which took place in the rural Michigan area near the Canadian border.
At around 4:45 a.m. Friday morning, a third area resident notified police of another garbage bag on the entrance ramp to westbound I-94 from Fred W. Moore Highway.
Investigators say this one contained only clothing and burnt documents. "That was not body parts but evidence related to this crime scene," Donnellon said, according to the Detroit Free Press.
As of Friday afternoon, no arrests had been made in connection to the case, said St. Clair County Deputy Steve Campau.
An autopsy of the remains is scheduled for Friday afternoon.

As I get older, I'm starting to recognize and appreciate all those small behavioral quirks my parents exhibited during my childhood (which at the time drove me crazy): "losing" eyeglasses sitting right there upon their head, the continual concerns about whether the door was locked and the stove was turned off, and of course, the regular scavenger hunt for the house keys...
But that was then, this is now. There's no reason to lose your house keys any longer when you've got technology to bolster your/my aging memory. Here are 5 keychain devices for keeping track of exactly where you (mis)placed those keys in and around the house:
Hone started off as a Kickstarter and is now available to use with the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 3, iPad 4 and iPad mini. The Hone keychain works from 150 feet away, casting a notably larger range than most other devices, with a corresponding location app to help hunt down fugitive keys on the hideout. The sleek dongle adds just half an ounce to a keychain, and offers six month battery life using a single CR2032 watch battery. $59.99
The Linquet Mini is one of the more affordable options, at just $29.99 (pre-order price), using Bluetooth and cloud storage for tracking and location documentation. Similar to the Stick-N-Find, each unit has a loud alarm and flashing lights feature, with the addition of a built-in temperature sensor and reverse phone finder when the keys are already in hand, but your phone has gone missing.
BIKN is a little different from the other four options listed above, as the system requires the use of a protective phone case engineered to connect with wireless tracking dongles. The lost and found system offers the option to "find", "leash", or "page" from the iPhone, with the most useful being the "leash" option, creating a pre-set boundary for monitoring the whereabouts of keys (or kids and pets) all from one management screen. A starter kit with case and two tracking tags is $129.99.

In celebration of our LouLouThi giveaway this week (it's still open! come and enter!!), we're excited to share Leigh Ann's LouLouThi-themed Swatchtower (originally posted on the Spincushion blog). Swatchtower is a series in which Leigh Ann pulls together stylish images and photographs inspired by the prints and patterns of our favorite fabric designers. We love the runway shots that she compiled to celebrate Anna Maria Horner's newest collection, and we hope you enjoy it too.
From Leigh Ann:
Knowing that Anna Maria Horner is a big fan of Style.com, I thought I'd give her a much-deserved runway moment of her own. Well, at least a moment for her new fabric line, Loulouthi, anyway. Imagine flash bulbs going off, insanely loud music blasting and envision yourself at a showing of the newest spring collection, a-la AMH.

My mom is a size 8/10 and the Mother of the Groom is around a size 14/16.

Neither one of them are having any luck and they live on opposite coasts. I'm at my wit's end just planning for the wedding, so I have no clue where else to turn other than my trusted Outblush advisors.

Box Score | Press Conference Video
TUCSON, Ariz. – Ronni Lewis (San Jose, Calif.) recorded a career-high 20 digs and Arizona (13-11, 5-8 Pac-12) used an all-around team effort to pull the upset of No. 5 UCLA (17-5, 9-4 Pac-12), 3-0 (25-22, 25-16. 26-24), Friday night inside the McKale Center.
Lewis, who made her first start of the season at libero in place of a sick Candace Nicholson, was outstanding from the outset. She shattered her previous career-high of 13 digs, which she recorded last season at Utah.
Tonight marked the first time the Wildcats defeated a top-10 opponent since defeating the Bruins, who were ranked No. 2 last season. Arizona has now defeated UCLA in three of the last four meetings with all three of those wins coming with the Bruins ranked in the top-5.
The Cats hit an efficient .288 on the night, which was their highest hitting percentage since a .337 effort against American back on Sept. 15. Meanwhile, Arizona held UCLA to just .143 hitting on the night. The Wildcats out-blocked the Bruins 7-3, while also finishing with a 47-36 advantage in digs.
Madi Kingdon (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Olivia Magill (Seattle, Wash.) led the Wildcats with 11 and 10 kills, respectively. It was the first double-figure kill effort in Magill's young career. Magill hit .389, while also recording a match-high five blocks. Rachel Rhoades (San Diego, Calif.) and Taylor Arizobal (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) had seven kills each, while Halli Amaro (Los Alamitos, Calif.) added six kills and three blocks. Rhoades hit a career-high .636 on the night. Meanwhile, setters Lauren Fuller (Los Angeles, Calif.) and Chanel Brown (Tempe, Ariz.) quarterbacked the offense nicely. Fuller dished out 20 assists with eight digs and an ace, while Brown had 17 assists, three digs and an ace.
Arizona jumped out to a strong start in the opening set by taking a 10-5 lead. UCLA chipped away at the lead and pulled to within one at 11-10 after a 6-1 run. With Arizona still clinging to a one point lead at 15-14, the Cats extended the lead by winning the next two points. However, the Bruins went on a 3-0 run to tie the score at 17-17. The Wildcats regained the lead at 19-17 after winning the next two points. The Bruins were never able to tie the score as Arizona went on to take the set, 25-22.
The Wildcats kept their strong play going early in the second set as they turned a 4-4 tie into a 7-4 advantage thanks to a 3-0 run. Arizona never let UCLA cut into the lead as the Wildcats cruised to a 25-16 victory. Arizona hit an extremely efficient .440 in the set, while holding the Bruins to just a .100 attack efficiency.
Arizona held the lead for much of the third set and a kill by Arizobal put the Cats in front 19-15 late in the frame. Later, with the Cats in front 20-17, UCLA went on a 4-0 run to pull in front 21-20. After some back and forth play, UCLA earned set point at 24-23 thanks to a kill by Rachael Kidder. Then, Rhoades came up with a huge block for the Cats to tie the score 24-24. After a UCLA attack error gave Arizona set point, Rhoades sealed the victory for the Cats with a kill from the middle.
Tabi Love led the Bruins with 11 kills, while Kidder added 10 kills. Megan Moenoa dished out a match-high 30 assists and Bojana Todorovic led the UCLA defense with nine digs.
The Wildcats return to action on Sunday as they play host to No. 6 USC at noon inside the McKale Center. The match will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Firesight makes good on the critical praise and grass-roots fan support that's already been heaped upon 24-year-old Jessie Baylin. The2008 album offers a vibrant, soulful showcase for her talents as both an uncommonly insightful songwriter and a deeply expressive, effortlessly charismatic vocalist. Recorded in the artist's recently adopted hometown of Nashville with noted producer Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Rogue Wave), Firesight features contributions from some of Nashville's most respected rock players, and songwriting collaborations with such notable co-writers as Whiskeytown member Mike Daly and grammy-winning songwriter/performer Jesse Harris, L.A. Troubadour Zack Hexum and the Rembrandts' Danny Wilde.
Album Notes
Personnel: Jessie Baylin (vocals); Joe Pisapia (guitar, pedal steel guitar); Pat Buchanan (guitar); Ryan Norris (keyboards); James "Hags" Haggerty (bass guitar); Scott Martin (drums).
It's not often that the terms "singer-songwriter" and "urban" mentioned in the same sentence, but Jessie Baylin's major-label debut may change that. On one hand, Baylin continues the tradition of earthy,emotive singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Paula Cole, but her music has also been impacted by the sleek, jazz- and R&B-inspired sounds of the city. With her heartfelt, rootsy vocal delivery and Roger Moutenot's accomplished, sophisticated production, Baylin will no doubt appeal to fans of Norah Jones and P.J. Harvey (in her mellower mode).

I have a bit of a problem with MacBook Pro.
Currently it's running Mac OS X 10.8.3, but I want to install from DVD Mac OS X 10.5.2, which is for this MacBook Pro and was reinstalled few months back. I know it seems strange, but I just want to do it. Oddly enough it should make things easier for me. When I try to boot from DVD, then just a grey screen appears and nothing happens. Is there some sort of Apple's 'prevent tool' from downgrading your system?
I can format the HDD using GParted, but I want to make sure that he will boot from the install disc. Or maybe something else?
What should I do?

Samsung Galaxy S III Mini with NFC gets priced in Finland
The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is due to receive an NFC-enabled version before the end of this month. We've told you this just yesterday, when the new variant got officially official in the UK. However, back then no information was available about how much this new S III Mini would end up costing.
And while we still don't know that for the UK, we've got a pretty good idea about how things are over in Finland. There the NFC-capable version of the Galaxy S III Mini can be ordered for €349 from retailer Gigantti (the website is currently offline). The vanilla, non-NFC S III Mini goes for exactly €299 at the same company, so this means you're effectively paying a rather whopping €50 for the NFC functionality alone. That's a pretty steep markup for one new feature – literally, as the rest of the device remains unchanged. Oh, and the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini sans NFC isn't the cheapest phone in its class either.
What all this means is that you should expect to see a similar price difference between the two versions of the S III Mini in the UK at the end of this month. So you have to ask yourself – is NFC really worth that much?

Baby animals and Easter go hand-in-hand with spring, but that may not be such a good thing.
Every year around this time Palo Cedro Feed is bustling with customers looking to buy chicks and ducklings to give as Easter gifts.
"Roughly 500 to 600 birds in roughly 36 hours to two days" manager Kelly Landry said, "Right here this first week before Easter we'll sell probably half of them for gifts."
But all these baby animals grow up, and when they do they become much harder to keep.
"People don't realize when they're getting this cute snuggly little bunny that it does have to grow up," said Leanne Smith of the Haven Humane Society.
Smith said she sees the reality of abandoned Easter Pets all the time, which places a huge burden on the facility.
"If you're going to purchase one, do it with the idea of what you're going to long term do with the animal," Smith said.
Smith warns that simply letting one of these pets go is not a safe option because they are domesticated animals.
If you are thinking about giving a cute fuzzy animal as a gift, Smith says you better think long and hard about the consequences.

Dennis L. DeWitt, Livestock Field Specialist, Northwest
Problem Statement:
Meat goats sell for more money per pound than any other typical Midwestern livestock enterprise. This income is not sufficient to cover the entire cost of production in most cases. Record-keeping is such that total cost of production is not known or calculated. Without records it is difficult to determine if the meat goat enterprise is profitable or sustainable.
Programmatic Response:
Producers have found that there are many "budgets" available for producers to 'budget' expenses and incomes to determine profitability. These "budgets" are not real useful, because producers have not gathered accurate information to fill in the blanks. "Accurate" information is different for every producer; so a uniform enterprise analysis program to track all income and expenses is needed.
The Meat Goat Enterprise Analysis Program has been developed and utilized by five meat goat producers for the past year. The three greatest concern areas hindering the meat goat enterprise from being a more vibrant and sustainable food system are: First, producers find out that long term profitability and sustainability is difficult to maintain; the first three years seems to be the life span of many meat goat operations. Second, reliable breeding, feeding and health information is scarce or very hard to find. Third, profitable marketing opportunities are limited. The producer data indicated the four major leaks in profitability. These leaks are 1) high feed cost, 2) high miscellaneous costs, 3) low kidding percentage and 4) low income dollars. Also this year the doubling in feed cost has put an additional burden on meat goat producers to earn a profit. A spring 2008 survey indicates that 30-40 percent of the current meat goat operations are not going to continue their operations next year.

"17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:17:18)
Believers that walk in love can have assurance of faith in Jesus. Love makes one like Jesus amongst those who do not know them. Believers know God, and He is with them. He or she does not need to fear God. He has accepted them as a son or daughter. They are excluded from His judgment. There is a day of judgment for all the wrong in the world. Punishment is reserved for that wrong and one should fear the wrath of God.
Believers turning to Jesus are accepting His righteousness. There is no fear of the provision of God's love. Salvation has come to all who believe. This salvation will protect them in that Day! Perfect love will drive out insecurities and peace will pursue the person trusting in the Most High God. His love surrounds them.
Challenge: Believer, place trust in God's love and do not fear! He is with you!
