In Numbers 32 the Reubenites and Gadites settled for less than what God promised His people. Their people had traveled with the goal of settling in the Promise Land for 40 years and were on the brink of possessing it when they decided it would be better to settle on the grazing fields east of the Jordan River. They stopped short of possessing the land that was promised to them. They had driven the enemy out of the lands of Jazer and Gilead and decided that the location suited them.
What was wrong with that? It appeared to be right for their business (The land was ideal for their livestock). It appeared to be in the best interests of their family's security. (The land had already been conquered and they would build fortified cities to keep their children out of harm's way, far from the Canaanite battlefront). How could a decision which looked most promising for business and family be wrong? Because it fell short of what God had promised. They were called to be the people of the covenant and to live in the land that God promised to give them. Their destiny was to rest in the victory that God would give them as an inheritance and not settle for less.
God has the big picture in view for our lives. Our stories are part of a larger story. He loves us and has our best interests in mind. He also knows what is best for our families, our businesses, future generations and much more. He wants us to possess what He has provided for us. This cannot happen when we compromise our obedience to His revealed will and make decisions simply on the basis of our sense of what seems right in our own eyes.
However, God is sovereign. He knows what is best. He works everything according to His will and His purposes will not be thwarted. He is also gracious. He knows our weaknesses. He understands our sinful hearts and recognizes our poor decisions and their repercussions. He works with those decisions in His permissive will, maintaining His sovereignty, showing mercy to whom He wills to show mercy and compassion on whom He will have compassion (Exodus 33:19; Romans 9:14). He allows things that He does not like. He lets the tribes of Reuben and Gad settle on the east side of the Jordan after the conquest of Canaan. (We learn that half the tribe of Manasseh will join them.)
What about us? Have we compromised our obedience, settling for less than what God has promised? Are we afraid of future spiritual battles that come with fresh obedience to God? Do we opt for what looks suitable solely on the basis of our own needs? Are we leaning on our own understanding of what is best instead of trusting God for what He said is best?
After 40 years journey, the two of the tribes are wanting to stop short of the finish line! God has told this generation that victory was within reach, but they were opting for something far less, although it looked comfortable, convenient and less threatening.
Comfort and convenience are often faith killers. We can easily build our little fortresses to protect ourselves from taking risks. We may have an eye for our business but not necessarily for the glory of God. We can build a shelter for our little ones, but on the wrong side of the river. We rationalize that we don't want them to be exposed to the real spiritual battle yet they become further casualties of our compromise.
We have learned that there are two wills of God. There is "the will of command"— His declared will. Let us have ears for it. Then there is "the permissive will"—which includes the suffering of the consequences of human disobedience. In this regard two apparently contradictory truths are held together in tension- God is sovereign and human beings are responsible.
Let us not give in to the rationalizations of our own human reasoning that put the interests of idolatries over those of the Living God. Faith comes by hearing what God has made known in His word.
The Reubenites and Gadites, in disregard for the 'will of command', make their plea: "Do not take us across the Jordan!"
Self-interest and self-preservation have become their cloud by day and fire by night.
Moses rebukes them on at least 8 counts:
1. Their failure to trust God for what He promised- victory in and possession of the promised land.
2. Their unwillingness to identify with God's purpose in the conquest of Canaan (representative of the spiritual battle in which we are to resist and subdue the enemy in the Name of the Lord).
6. They failed to follow the examples of those who fully followed the Lord (Caleb and Joshua).
7. They failed to understand God's estimation of their behavior. God saw them as a "brood of sinful men" (Numbers 32:14). Notice as you read the New Testament that John the Baptist and Jesus are not afraid to let people know how God sees them, using similar words:
7"But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" Matthew 3:7 (NASB)
34"You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart." Matthew 12:34 (NASB)
33"You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?" Matthew 23:33 (NASB)
8. Failure to pursue the revealed will of God that will bring chastisement upon all the people.
15 "For if you turn away from following Him, He will once more abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people." Numbers 32:15 (NASB)
The Reubenites and Gadites hear Moses' rebuke and repent to the degree that their fighting men will cross the Jordan and go to the front lines with the rest of the people of Israel. They promise that they will not return to their homes on the east side of the Jordan until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance.
However, their compromise is displayed in verse 19:
19 "For we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east." Numbers 32:19 (NASB)
How often do we choose for ourselves instead of choosing what God has chosen for us, His chosen people?
Moses accepts this compromise. We cannot help but wonder why Moses fails to do what we have seen him do consistently in the Book of Exodus and Numbers. He fails to speak to the Lord. We do not have any record of the Lord speaking in this chapter.
But Moses makes a reference to one aspect of the Lord's role in this: The LORD hears the promises we make.
20 "So Moses said to them, "If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for the war, 21 and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the LORD until He has driven His enemies out from before Him, 22 and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward the LORD and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before the LORD. 23 "But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out." Numbers 32:20-23 (NASB)
The Lord knows whether our conduct is in accordance with our promises. What is hidden to others is not hidden from God.
Israel, whom God called His Son, was led by the Spirit into the Wilderness after the exodus for 40 years of testing. In our New Testament reading we see God's Son, Jesus led into the wilderness for 40 days. Where Israel demonstrated unbelief, Jesus demonstrated a perfect disposition of dependence upon God, every word that proceeded out of His mouth, and obedience to His will.
It is interesting to observe that Jesus had a 33 journey tabernacling among us. The children of Israel had 33 recorded locations at which they camped.
Summary of the Wilderness Journeys: 33 campsites are recorded
Numbers 33:5-15: This is the itinerary of the Israelites in Exodus 23:37-19:2
Numbers 33:16-17: This is the itinerary of the Israelites in Numbers 10-11
Numbers 33:18-29: This is the itinerary of the Israelites mentioned only here.
Numbers 33:30-34: This is the itinerary of the Israelites in Deuteronomy 10:6-7
Numbers 33:37-39: This is the itinerary of the Israelites in Chapters 20-25
NEW TESTAMENT READING: Luke 4:31-5:11
An envelope with only three or four lines of information can precisely pinpoint the exact place where you live. A good historian supplies information to pinpoint both the place and the time of the events described. In this Luke shows himself a top-notch historian.
Luke 3:1-2 are two verses that illustrate this well. Luke lists 7 historical figures who are in their prominent offices at the same time so that anyone who studied history could pinpoint the time of John the Baptist's ministry.
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, 2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. Luke 3:1-2 (NASB)
He also provides the age of Jesus and his genealogy going back to Adam through the line of Mary (while Matthew traced the line of his legal foster father). Mary's name was probably not mentioned due to the tradition of men being named in genealogies, although Matthew named four of them. Both Joseph and Mary were in the family line of David and the genealogies prove that Jesus had the legal right to David's throne.
Jesus' public ministry began in Galilee. It was a custom to have guests and assigned readers and teachers of Scripture gather in the synagogues. Jesus began his ministry reading the Scripture in the synagogue in his home town of Nazareth, announcing the terms of jubilee, the release of the captive, the indebted and oppressed, and recovery of sight to the blind.
Luke records only one sentence of Jesus' teaching on Isaiah 61.
21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
Luke 4:21 (NASB)
He also records only one sentence of Jesus' popularity as a teacher in Nazareth.
22 And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying,
"Is this not Joseph's son?" Luke 4:22 (NASB)
His popularity was only one sentence long in Nazareth. As soon as Jesus attacked their ethno-centricity and highlighted that God sent His servants to miracles to foreigners rather than locals, His unbelieving covenant partners, they were outraged and wanted to kill him! (Luke 4:23-30)
He then went to the city of Capernaum (the fishing village hometown of Peter, Andrew, James and John) which is on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.
I have had the privilege of visiting the sites of the synagogues of Nazareth and Capernaum. We are told that they taught from the sitting position. I was happy to try the seat of the synagogue at Capernaum (pictured to the left).
Jesus taught with authority in the synagogue. That authority was recognized by not just the people of Capernaum but the demons who screamed out from a man in the synagogue service: "Let us alone!" The demons were being tormented by the truth that they heard. They anticipated their doom. "Have you come to destroy us?"
As we saw in the Gospel of Mark Chapter 1, the first to confess Jesus as the Holy One sent from God, the only human being without sin, and the Son of God were the demons (Luke 4:34; 4:41). And Jesus was not going to give demons the privilege of witnessing to these facts, nor would he trust His testimony to them, He demonstrates His authority in exorcizing them and silencing them.
Jesus demonstrates His authority over unclean spirits, spirits of infirmity. He demonstrated the kingdom of the age to come in His authority over sickness (healing Peter's mother-in-law and multitudes in Galilee).
Jesus preaches outdoors and devises a brilliant way to speak and be heard by getting into Simon Peter's boat and moving it as a portable pulpit where His voice would be amplified by the surface of the Lake.
When He finishes speaking He demonstrates His authority over nature by commanding a miraculous catch of fish in an area where Peter had previously caught nothing. Jesus was illustrating that that which was not possible with man, was possible with God. The catch is so great that the nets begin to break and the boats to sink (overwhelming the natural capacity).
This is eventually contrasted with a similar miracle AFTER the Resurrection in John 21 in which the nets do not break and the boats do not begin to sink. It is a picture of the supernatural capacity God puts within us as we identify with Christ and His death for us on the Cross. We become partakers of the Resurrection Life of Jesus as we are recommissioned in Him!
Peter is humbled by the display of God's grace in the person of Jesus and falls down at Jesus' feet saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man!" (Luke 5:8)
In Luke 5:10 Jesus gives His first commission of Simon Peter (and fellow fishermen, John, James and Andrew) "Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men." Luke 5:10 (NASB).
11 "When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him." Luke 5:11 (NASB)
A highlight verse:
10 "Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!"
PROVERBS 11:22 DISCRETION- Don't leave home without it!
"Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion."
(from the Prayer Guide: Operation World)
Answer to Prayer
Bulgaria's transformation from harsh spiritual repressiveness in the 1980s to relative openness and freedom today.
Evangelicals face periodic opposition at the local level, but Bulgaria's move towards EU membership had an opening effect in the religious sphere also. There is a definite sense of progress in inter-church relations, though further progress is needed.
Challenge for Prayer
Bulgaria's troubled past is not yet completely behind. Corruption and powerful organized crime syndicates persist. Poverty is widespread, as are divorce and abortion – there are more abortions than live births. Many of the youngest and brightest emigrate seeking jobs and money. Pray that wholeness will come to this nation as only the transforming gospel can bring.

Minitaur Quick Demo from Moog Music on Vimeo.Moog Music has announced the release of Minitaur, the newest addition to Moog's Taurus Bass Synthesizer family. They tell us that Minitaur is a compact and powerful analog bass synthesizer that features a classic one knob per function layout. Most notably, it is the first instrument in the Taurus family that does not have foot pedals. At only 8.5" x 5.25" and less than 3lbs, the Minitaur puts powerful analog Moog bass into a package designed to fit seamlessly into today's performance and production environments.
Sounds lush, but for another £75 I'd rather buy the slim phatty rack. £500 seems a bit steep.
06-Jan-12 06:32 AM
I hear what your saying robgs and you have a good point there. What I do like about this synth is that it has dedicated knobs for every function. It does not look like it has any memory to hold patches eather. I will have to check this one out in more detail.
06-Jan-12 07:53 AM
«MIDI over USB offer complete control of the Minitaur's sound engine» good move, on top of the CV and MIDI in.
...wished it was a little bit more accessible on the price, though.
...wished it was a little bit more accessible on the price, though.
06-Jan-12 09:04 AM
I hate to bad-mouth something that looks so sexy and sounds so good, but the price is just a wee bit too high when compared to the Slim Phatty. I love the direction they're going in, though: animoog, this......
06-Jan-12 12:51 PM
Street price is $599 (USD) for the Minitaur; $799 for the Slim Phatty. Not bad pricing for either, I'd say. Depends on what you want; knobs or memories. Myself, I'd like them both!
06-Jan-12 02:14 PM
The LP and T3 sound quite different from each other. I like the Slim Phatty, but I can't wait for this thing to arrive!
Already ordered.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Indy Ball Weekly Perspective
Towles wrangled by Rangers
Veteran catcher and Bridgeport Bluefish, J.R. Towles has signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers. Towles has spent the majority of his career in the Houston Astros organization, but the last two years has bounced around with the Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Texas Rangers' minor league squads. Never having been in a starting role, Towles has put together some very good numbers in the minors. He's a career .285 hitter with a .384 OBP. Unfortunately, that didn't translate over to the major league game. From 2007 to 2011, Towles appeared in 155 games batting .187 with 11 home runs and 50 RBI. In his only independent season Towles lit up the stat page. In 67 games with the Bluefish he went deep 11 times and drove in 37, while putting together a .930 OPS. Towles has since appeared in two games for the Rangers' Triple A, Round Rock Express and has not disappointed batting .286 with four RBI.
Braves sign Can-Am's Bierman
Sean Bierman has had a very impressive stint with the Rockland Boulders, eventually leading to a contract offer from the Atlanta Braves. Bierman is a three-time Pitcher of the Week, July Pitcher of the Month, and member of the American Association South All-Star Team. Not too bad for his first independent season. In 2014, Bierman posted a 8-6 record and led all starters with a 2.44 ERA. In three professional seasons, in which he made it up to High A, Bierman has recorded 20 wins against 15 losses. His ERA is a very respectable 2.86. Since signing with Braves, he has been assigned to their Single A squad (Rome). In his first appearance against the Charleston RiverDogs, he went five scoreless innings striking out three. In his second appearance, this time against the Kannapolis Intimidators, Bierman again threw five scoreless innings picking up the win in the process. He struck out eight.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICMMfc3RZHE&feature=related[/youtube]The first song ever I picked from a soundtrack and which remains a favorite to this day is Don't You (Forget About Me) by the Simple Minds. Mind you, I hadn't even watched The Breakfast Club when I fell in love with the song. I still remember how deeply disappointed I was that I couldn't buy it on any Simple Minds record, but that it was only available on the movie soundtrack which I was not interested in buying.
Since then I have discovered soundtracks as a source for excellent music. I discovered Aimee Mann through Magnolia, The Verve through Cruel Intentions, Carly Simon through Working Girl, and Alisha's Attic through Bridget Jones's Diary. In each of these cases, I went and bought a CD by this artist after discovering his/her/their song on the soundtrack.
TV series can also be a great source for music, especially since you can now often look up the music that was used for a specific episode or even a specific scene on internet sites devoted to soundtracks. The music tends to be excellently well chosen, too. It's to The O.C., for example, that I am indebted to for Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah as well as Syd Matters' To All of You (from Someday We Foresee Obstacles).
It's not just songs, either. I love to listen to whole soundtracks, and find them especially soothing while I'm working hard. For example, I adore the soundtracks of Much Ado About Nothing, Pirates of the Caribbean and, of course, Star Wars.
What roles do soundtracks play for you?

Harpers Ferry, WV
An adult male falcon hacked at New River Gorge National River and fitted with a satellite transmitter in 2007 was tracked in 2009 to Harpers Ferry in Maryland. In 2010 the bird was documented to have paired with an unbanded female. The pair nested at a quarry on the West Virginia side of Harpers Ferry, just over the Virginia state line in Jefferson County, and produced two chicks. Unfortunately no peregrines were found when researchers from CCB and USFWS next went to band the chicks, and the adults were not subsequently seen again. Monitoring at the site will continue into the future.

A naked violinist was jailed in Portland on Saturday after witnesses reported the man setting up in front of a downtown Portland federal courthouse with his violin, bow, and nothing else. The exposed violinist was arrested by police for indecent exposure, yet he refused to budge his bare butt off of the courthouse steps. Police were forced to pick the man up and carry him over to a squad car, reports The Associated Press on May 24.
According to police records, the man gave his name as 25-year-old Matthew T. Mglej. When police arrived, they warned the man and told him to either dress himself or go home, but Mglej just kept on playing. The chin music conversation didn't last too long; police hauled the naked fiddler off.
According to Time.com, which carried a photo of our stripped down string player (face only that is), Portland city code states that it is "unlawful for any person to expose his or her genitalia while in a public place or place visible from a public place, if the public place is open or available to persons of the opposite sex." The Portland Police Bureau said they advised Mglej several times to leave after multiple calls came in complaining about his nude playing. No word on if Mglej was an accomplished player or just an overly exposed entertainer giving off some bad vibes, as it were.
Ironically, Portland does make an exception to their city code about being naked in public. The annual "World's Naked Bike Ride," set to take place this year on June 7, allows nude bike riders to strut their stuff in front of tens of thousands of spectators. According to the ride's funding site, the event "highlights the vulnerability of cyclists everywhere and decries society's dependence on pollution-based transport." The motto is fitting: "Be as bare as you dare." The event draws about 8,000 nude riders each year, who are told to stay on the designated route and not to walk around the city naked.
And certainly, don't bring your strings, unless it's a thong.

PEACEFULLY PROTESTING: Russian police surrounded an opposition party supporter while detaining him during a protest rally in Moscow on Wednesday. Supporters of various opposition parties gathered for a rally to defend article 31 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which says "citizens of the Russian Federation shall have the right to gather peacefully, without weapons, and to hold meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets." (Alexander Natruskin/Reuters)
TO THE RESCUE: A Belarusian emergency worker carried an old woman from her house in the flooded-out village of Talka, Russia, on Tuesday. Around 200 homes were affected when river Svisloch burst its springtime banks. (Viktor Drachev/AFP/Getty Images)
REMEMBERING THE DEAD: An elderly woman leaned on a cross during a Palm Sunday memorial for the departed in Frumusani, southern Romania, on Sunday. Orthodox believers in the village gathered at midnight, lit fires at the graves and shared food in memory of their dead relatives. (Vadim Ghirda/Associated Press)

WAITING GAME: Workers waited outside the entrance to the Wanjialing coal mine as rescuers tried to find more than 150 workers trapped in the flooded coal mine being built in northern China's Shanxi province Tuesday. Workers accused their bosses of ignoring warning signs of danger as anger built over the accident after workers said water was noticed leaking into the pit days before. (Peter Parks/AFP/Getty Images)
REMAINING GREEN WATER: A Chinese villager collected water from the last remaining well in the village of Qujing, China, on Sunday. Millions of people face drinking water shortages in southwestern China because of a once-a-century drought that has dried up rivers and threatens vast farmlands in the huge areas of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan provinces. (AFP/Getty Images)
SWIMMING STRETCHES: Palestinian swimmers, Abdul Rahman, left, and Shahdi el-Masry, performed warm-up stretches before training at the Nama'a Sports Club in Jabaliya, Gaza Strip.

The heavyweight scene, as seen through the eyes of the US fight fan, is two-day-old bagel stale. One of the Klitschkos fights on Dec. 10 against another guy with no chance.
OK, sorry for the flippancy there. But I couldn't be much less enthused about WBO-IBF-WBA champion Wladimir Klitschko's clash against Jean-Marc Mormeck in Dusseldorf on the tenth. I see Mormeck, a 39-year-old Frenchman, as having as much chance against Klitschko as Kim Kardashian does landing a relationship advice talk show. He's fought three times in four years, and his last outing came a year ago, a split decision win against Timur Ibragimov.
There is a bit more interest in Alexander Povetkin, who holds a junior WBA title, and his tussle Saturday. He takes on Cedric Boswell in Finland, and EPIX will show the scrap, kicking off their programming at 3:30 PM ET. Anyone tired of the Klitschko stranglehold on the division is looking hopefully at the 32-year-old Russian Povetkin, who is cornered by Teddy Atlas, the super-intense guru who also works as an ESPN analyst. Freddie Roach will help call the action, which includes a showdown between another potential Klitschko-killer, Robert Helenius, who meets Dereck Chisora.
I asked Roach on a Tuesday phoner if he gives Boswell much of a chance to beat Povetkin. "Povetkin is a favorite," the Hollywood-based trainer to manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan said. "Boswell has 35 wins but that's over a long period of time. He's been sporadic. His best win is maybe Oliver McCall last March. Povetkin has been busier and was a great amateur. So, Povetkin is favored a little bit more than a little bit."
There is some buzz on Helenius, a Swede based in Finland who downed Sergei Liakhovich (TKO9) in August. I asked Roach who he thinks is the best heavyweight among the top four on the card. "I like Povetkin," he said. "We wonder if he can step up and beat a Klitschko. Everyone's waiting to see. He's getting close to that test.
I trained Wladimir for four fights, and Vitali for one. They're great athletes, they're the hardest working heavies I've seen. I don't think anyone on planet beats them."
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Da Docs/bros K know how to put the deadbeat heavies and the fans to sleep. Holla!
Roach might be curious but I'm not. Povetkin is a small, slow, basic heavy who offers no threat to the K Bros whatsoever and Teddy Atlas knows it, that's why he hasn't allowed Povetkin near the Ks or any other decent heavyweight since he started training him.
Povetkin's best performance was Chris Byrd 4 years ago, against a reluctant Chagaev he was boring and one-dimensional. Both Ks don't lose a round against Povetkin, Haye KOs him, it's a toss-up with Adamek, Arreola or Tony Thompson.
Tyson Fury and Robert Helenius are both far scarier prospects for the Ks in twelve months and I think both would KO Povetkin right now (if they were ever allowed in the ring with him!).
I'm really curious to see the Klitschkos fight someone their own size or even larger. A phenom like Tyson is just barely above average when faced with someone who can absorb his best shots. I'd like to see how the Klitschkos fare when they do not have the size advantage, which is why (for now) I"m giving jokers like Helenius and Tyson Fury a fair chance of beating them.
WK's greatest strength is using his size against smaller fighters...But he limits his own potential by hardly ever getting in close, bending his knees and throwing uppercuts or body punches. In fact there are some punches he never throws... There is no way Haye or Chambers would have lasted if WK just cut loose on them,... trapped them in a corner and broke em' in half with some well placed power shots to the body... WK should be able to make most fighters cower in fear after one round and toss in the towel. But he approaches boxing like a chess player who is 2 or 3 pawns up and keeps going after the other pawns instead of taking out the knights, bishops, rooks and queen.
Still Tyson Fury is nowhere disciplined enough to complete with WK at this point and time..and Helinus is only marginally better than the lumbering Valuev..... But either could make things interesting if they went for broke like Corey Sanders.
Povetkin has shown some promise but the guy is still wearing training wheels at the age of 32,.. by now either he has the goods or he doesn't... I see him getting dominated by WK from the outside like the rest. There are least 3 Young Giants on the horizon as we speak,..Guys who are more fluid and natural at boxing than WK (but not necessarily better at their current level of inexperience).. All 3 are still a ways off from competing for a championship. If WK stays around long enough,... we'll eventually see him some very competetive Heavyweight matches yet with guys his own size. Give it a year and half.
Wlad is not limiting his potential, he's maximizing his untouchability. His KO ratio is among the most impressive in heavyweight history. He could fight more conventionally and commit to his punches more often and perhaps score more spectacular KO's and look more destructive doing it, but he's also going to compromise his size advantage. He stops just about everybody and takes little to no damage each time out. He shouldn't change anything.
Well said, F4JC. Credit when due.
F4JC,... What's most impressive to me about WK is his professionalism, longevity and poise outside the ring, He's the best of todays dreary roundup of heavyweights hands down..
However having a high percentage of KO's in todays dubious era of recycled journeymen from Lewis's generation is more expected than impressive. Especially with the size disparity.....It's like Chad Dawson boxing someone Pacquiao's size. It's legal because there is no superheavy-weight division yet.. but it's a series of mismatches with cruiserweights and also rans...
Whenever WK does get in the ring with someone with halfway decent credentials he clams up an uses the stiff-arm while he rations out punches like they have a high price tag. Stewart had to beg, humiliate, and scold WK before he finally worked up the courage to take out the grossly outsized Chambers in the 12th.
Obviously HBO wasn't impresses with him, as he was effectively barred from the cable giant boxing shows since his previous 12round game of patty-cake with the smallish Ibragamov.
We were glad to see his return to HBO against Haye recently,..hoping he would pay Haye back for his imprudent mouthpiece.... but WK allowed the big-mouth 210 pound challenger to fight a survivalist fight for 12 rounds while standing right in front of him flat footed with his hands down the entire fight.... and sadly no fireworks again.
For someones who's always calling some boxer or another a coward,.. fighters who are infinitely more engaging against more dynamic opposition, it's ironic you're impressed with the most skiddish, cautious fighter in professional boxing.
you'll get another chance to praise him after he dispatches a 39 year old french cruiserweight in another sleep inducing affair.
It's not like I don't appreciate WK for what he is ,... a hard working professional with 15 defenses..... a big fish in todays small pond of heavyweights. But I can't lather on the praise until I see what he can do with guys his own size..
WK won't be able to stiff-arm guys his own size without getting punched back in return.. and the next generation of big men won't be hamstrung by being limited to just 4 punches in there arsenal,.. they'll attack with a full range of motion and from all angles.
These are the heavyweight fights I want to see,... The big guys fighting guys their own size.
Well, he destroyed big Tony Thompson, and took some leather doing it...
Tony Thompson had less than 30 amateur fights before he started boxing pro at the age of 28, he was 37 when he fought WK and he fights like he's swimming in a vat of mollasses,.. Tony didn't start the disease but he's a prime symptom of the malaise and lack of interest that has attatched itself to the Heavyweight division... Right now American Heavies suck, have little amateur experience and have lost the spirit of competitiveness ..... My purpose is not to Bash WK .. And I'm happy the Euro Fans have someone to look up to. My point is the debate on WK can cut both ways. Either he's the most overrated Heavy since Marciano,.. or he's one of the best that's ever laced on a pair. Which one is it? Time will ultimately tell.
Hopefully when the young guns who match WK in size can finally step up we can see him in a competetive fight with somebody who can look the Doc eye to eye... In less than 2 years if WK is still around we can see that, and the Heavyweight division can become interesting again.
It's not the Klitschkos' fault that they're as big and athletic as they are. They've fought EVERYONE worth fighting, all shapes and sizes. You can criticize the Mormeck fight all you want but it's not like there's anyone else. You can't honestly accuse any Klitschko of ducking anyone.
Super comments all around. Well said Brownsugar. I really like the high price line (I'd quote it but doing this on my phone). WK is an absolute professional and almost Tim Tebow-esque in the way he's viewed (not an exact parallel but similar). I agree with Fighter that WK should change NOTHING. Why should he? Yes, most fans want blood, but his strategy makes perfect sense. I maintain that WK would be a champion in ANY era. And Vitali is even better than Wlad. Look, when you fight for YEARS, as they have, there is lots of film to gameplan with. Even ATGs struggle against so called ordinary opposition. Ali had numerous examples of this. They all do. But the Ks just keep whitewashing everyone. If they weren't around, we may regard the heavyweights more favorably. But they're just miles better than the rest. They're Green Bay right now, and have been for years.
What mature and diplomatic post Condor,.. Henry Kissinger's got nothin on ya. .. thanks for your contribution.
You're the man Brownsugar. Love your insight. Mortcola's views should garner a friggin' Pulitzer Prize. Expert writer.
I think that the Klitschko brothers do not have a tough fighters mentality. What I mean by that is that they have a boxer's mentality and I never see them getting down and dirty unless someone can force them too. Lennox Lewis made Vitali have to reach down but unfortunately no one else has been able to do that. Wlad is concerned about protecting his jaw and you can't blame him for that. Watching these guys against mostly undersized opponents is about exciting as watching grass grow and each bout just seems to be just an extension of the last fight. When I was younger, I remember this dog that was a monster but he didn't know it. His father was extremely strong and was jealous of him and would beat the hell out of him when he was a younger dog which sapped any confidence he would have had. His mother was big too. This dog could have been your worst nightmare but he was more afraid of you than you were of him. Wlad seems to fight scared although he is a monster. Vitali doesn't push the gas pedal to the floor either. Both are boring but effective and they both have excellent skills, there can't be any denying that. The rest of the division has been frozen out. Even when they are gone the heavies will not inspire any interest for the unforeseeable future unless one of these younger guys can bring something new to the table.
Ditto about Big Bro/Doc VK's mentality, DaveB. Da muthasucka quit in da corner on Chris "Rapid Fire" Byrd. But Lil Bro/Doc WK has some cojones. He took each of his arse thrashings like a man and went out on his shield. And don't anybody try to sell me that separation-of-the-shoulder jive about Doc VK. Holla!
Povetkin is winning every round against Boswell and looking solid. You can see the Teddy Atlas effect.
I liked your analogy about the Dog family Dave B.....couldn't have said it better.
Povetkin outclasses Boswell with a KO in round 8 (think it was eight)...Boswell blamed a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder for not throwing his right hand, I don't think it would have made a difference anyway as he was out of his league... but he gave Povetkin some half-way decent work with what he had.....
Roach and Dan Rafael provided good commentary .on the sidelines. Not too shabby so far for heavyweights. Povetkin looked a little Tysonesque the way he was throwing those combo's on the inside... the type of punching you never see from WK...and he did it with good defense.. Teddy says they're not ready for WK,.. and I agree... not because of a lack of ability... he's just too small for a prime WK. Helinius the Nordic Nightmare is next... this oughta be good. Chisora comes to bang and Helenius comes to get KO's. Helenius is like a Rock Star overseas... Derrick "Del Boy" Chisora says he's going to make love to Helenius,.. make it hot in the ring (the interviewer said "that's disturbing") lol. Helenius is 239, Chisora 245,.. the big boys getting ready to go at it!!!!!!
the underdog Chisora leapt on Helenius like the last train to paradise.. smothering him with punches like Joe Frazier,.. head and body.. So far this is surprising result as Helenius is supposed to be the favorite... but I suspect Helenius is waiting for an opening to land his trademark uppercut. Chisora ahead so far 3 rounds to 1
Helenius is actually a good boxer,.. but Chisora won't let him breath. Chisora came in 20lbs lighter than his last fight withFury (265). Still anything can happen
round 6 tremendous action, Helenius was finally able to land some heavy shots,.. Still Chisora is outworking him, How long can he keep this up?
I've got it 6-3 for Chisora thru 9 rounds. Never saw Chisora fight this hard,.. shocking upset in the making.
pace slows for round 10 but Chisora is still out working Helenius,.. the crowd is no longer in the fight. "Do you want this?"
Still no fireworks from Helenius, the fight is has become a route. 1 round remains. can Helenius pull it out with a KO?
Both fighters throwing bombs in the last round!!!!!!!!
Del Boy closes the show fighting as though he needed the KO,.... although he won at least 9 out of 12 rounds. Dan had it 10-2 for Chisora. Roach had it 8-4 for Chisora. a hometown robbery would be the worst in history.
OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 115-113 Helinius, 115-113 Chisora 115-113 Helinius.... Boxing loses credibility again... but everyone who saw the fight including the Fins in Helsinki,.. knows Helenius Lost. Worst Robbery I've ever seen. Incredible... I'm out...
B-Sug, if you ever see a straight banana, be assured that it is a fake or a midget one. Same for boksing. Boksing losing credibility is like throwing a big fish back in the lake. Somebody else is gonna eventually catch dat muthawiggy again, And though midget wresting get an audience, boksing won't, so it doesn't mean Moby Dick syet or Gary Coleman spit.
By nature -- as a banana -- boksing is crooked. But every angry man and his fam goes ape sh*t when it shows its true colors. As I told everybodee and dey momma, a while back, that Helinius was the latest hyped-a$$ heavy who could not have made the top 100 of heavies 30 year ago, and the top 20 15 years ago.
Probably the best heavyweight talent in the world, at this time, is the amateur boksing son of ex-heavyweight title belt holder Hisham Rahman. Hisham Rahman "Junior time" got it going on for the time being. If his heart shows up like his talent, he'll be a SUPERSTAR heavyweight who can fight and will dominate for years. Holla!
@brown sugar. Why? Why? Don't you believe it is scary when the fans know more about the sport than the the people earning a living in it? Experts, if you will.
Dino,... I'm flabergasted,.. pheclemped and utterly bewildered.
RG,... u surely drank the nectar of wisdom on that one my friend,.. and the revolution will be televised.... hey I didn't know about Rahmans son,.. now your gonna have me googling again.
FYI B-Sug. Fight Beat dot com has a petty respectable, interesting piece on Hisham Rahman [Junior Time]. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Men Home, Women Head to Colorado as Tennis Dual Seasons Continue
The Princeton tennis teams will begin March with a weekend of competition as the start of the Ivy League season draws closer at the end of the month.
The men's team will be home Saturday against Buffalo and Sunday against UC Santa Barbara with both matches in Jadwin Gym starting at 11 a.m. The women will head to Colorado for matches Saturday against Colorado and Sunday against Denver, both beginning at noon ET.
The men (5-3) enter the weekend at No. 55 in the latest ITA ranking, with senior Matija Pecotic as the No. 6 singles player in the country and Pecotic and sophomore Zack McCourt as the No. 29 doubles team in the country. Neither Buffalo nor UC Santa Barbara are ranked on the team or individual lists. Buffalo enters the match at 5-3 on the season, while UCSB (2-3) will face Princeton on the back end of a two-match East Coast trip that will put the Gauchos at St. John's Saturday.
Princeton faced Buffalo for the first time last season, a 5-2 win in Jadwin Gym, and UCSB nine times since the series began in 1984, but not since 2006. The Tigers hold a 5-4 advantage, with this being the first time the Gauchos will come to Princeton.
The women's team (4-2) is No. 73 in the nation in the latest ITA ranking, with freshman Amanda Muliawan as the 112th-ranked singles player in the country. Colorado (5-3) will make the trip to Wyoming Thursday before hosting Princeton Saturday, while Denver (4-2), winner of three in a row, will host Wyoming Friday before welcoming the Tigers Sunday.
This will be the first trip to Colorado for the women's team, which had all its previous matches against the Colorado-based teams on either neutral courts or in Princeton. The Tigers faced Colorado once, a 7-1 loss in San Diego in 1993, and Denver four times. The first two, a 5-2 win in 2001 and a 7-0 loss in 2004, were in the San Diego area, and in 2010 the teams met at Northwestern in the ITA Season Kickoff for a 5-2 Princeton win. The teams also met last season in Jadwin Gym, a 6-1 Princeton win.

The following question arises frequently: "If I am the only owner of my business should I spend the money to incorporate or form an LLC?"
To answer this question, you need to understand the difference between being a sole proprietorship and forming a legal entity.
There is nothing required to be a sole proprietor. If you are in business, and do nothing further, you are a sole proprietorship. Your employer identification number is your social security number. A sole proprietorship does not separate the business assets from your personal assets, and therefore, no liability protection is offered.
However, a Limited Liability Company is a separate entity and requires certain filings and an operating agreement. A limited liability offers limited liability from the debts and obligations of the business and you are not in danger of being liable for business debts unless a personal guarantee of some sort is made (which is a whole separate matter). In Missouri, the filing fee for a Limited Liability Company is a mere $50, but you do need an operating agreement to actually show ownership of the entity.
So what is really the point of forming an LLC?
There are several arguments for not forming an LLC. For example, by default, the tax treatment for a sole proprietorship and LLC is essentially the same, unless certain filings are made. It is true that not forming an entity with limited liability subjects you to potentially unlimited liability. However, if you are a professional service provider or consultant and what you are selling is a service, you will likely be liable for your actions anyway. If you form an LLC, your personal signature and guaranty will likely be required when entering into a contractual obligation or debt, like signing a lease or borrowing money from the bank. So the limited liabilty won't save you from being personally liable.

Disease Proof
Friday: Food Points
- From time to time I know I'm guilty of binge eating—especially after a good work out. I think it happens to everyone. But according to a new report by Reuters woman are more likely to overeat when dining out:
Moreover, women who were prone to binge-eating problems often overindulged when eating out. One-third of their bingeing "episodes" over the two-week study occurred in a restaurant, according to findings published in the Western Journal of Nursing Research.
- You remember Chipotle restaurants right? One of the best restaurants I've examined during in the Eating to Live on the Outside series. Check out this short video some college students from Trinity University made in their honor. Via Fast Food News.
- Jennifer from Vegan Lunch Box is at it again, with this very scary LUNCH BOX OF DOOM! Tremble before the shrunken heads, mummy calzone, and the bucket of blood! Igor! Fetch me some cruciferous vegetables! Check it out:
Cue the scary music and ghost sounds, because it's time for the Halloween Lunch Box! It's a ghastly Mummy Calzone on a bed of mummy wrappings (torn paper towel), with a bucket of blood (pizza sauce) for dipping.
- There may be frost on the pumpkin, but Frugal Veggia Mama's garden is still alive and kicking:
Swiss chard and kale are just amazing. We've had a little frost and a lot of cold nights in the high 30's but still they grow, in containers! In theory they should die off quicker in containers because the soil cools more quickly but they didn't get the memo. I wonder how long I can keep them going?
- Okay, one of my major vices is sushi. If it wasn't for all the contamination I'd probably eat it all the time. FatFree Vegan Kitchen has come up with a wonderful alternative. Behold the Sushi Salad:
I enjoy making sushi--and my family enjoys eating it. But sometimes I want the taste of sushi without the time and effort it takes to roll it. One way I get around the task of making sushi rolls is to have "Roll Your Own" nights: I'll prepare the rice and fillings and cut the sheets of nori into quarters, and we'll each make our own little cones of sushi right at the table. Kids love making their own sushi, so I really recommend this activity to parents whose kids aren't sure about sushi yet; it will probably turn them into sushi lovers.
- The Los Angeles Times reports many grocers and food retailers want produce growers to tighten up their operations, that way an event like the spinach-E. coli outbreak never happens again. Jerry Hirsch has more:
Both growers and retailers say there is wide agreement that the industry needs better methods for establishing and enforcing food safety practices, though some question whether such a program can be in place by the Dec. 15 deadline set by the retailers and distributors.
"We can't maintain the status quo," said Kathy Means, vice president of government relations for Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Assn., a trade group of produce shippers, processors, distributors and other suppliers. "And we can't have any more mistakes."

I don't take much time to be fancy when I cook. I'm even lazier than the sushi salad lady. A couple of months ago I made what I called sloppy sushi - my friend shortened that to Slushi. Take pre-made brown rice, add a touch of rice vinegar and date sugar, mix in an avocado or two, make the wasabi, scoop the mixture on your plate or into your bowl and top with lots of cut up nori. I added steamed broccoli and it was awesomely delicious.

I was in a double-lane left, at a red. This beatup maroon Silverado pulls up next to me, and the passenger door opens, which gets my attention. Now I've seen this happen before, and people will usually dump out a soda or spit out some tobacco or something. On even rarer occasion they'll go put something or get something from their trunk.
I watched to see if this would happen, but the driver got out as well. Then I thought "Chinese fire drill?" But I didn't think people did that anymore... and these guys were definitely not high school or even college kids.
That's when the one guy said "hey man!" and I looked over again, to see him pointing at my driver's side tire while looking right at me. Keep in mind he's standing in the road, between our two vehicles, right in front of my driver's side door (probably 4-5 feet away). I knew he was basically trying to get me to notice a flat tire, but:
1) It's my driver's side tire. I just looked at it a few minutes before as I was walking out to my car.
2) My car has TPMS, so if I had a flat tire, a light would've shown up on my dash.
Wasn't going to fall for that. I cracked my window open, and he changed to "hey man, you wanna buy some speakers? I got a home theater system..." blah blah. Seriously? People still do the "wanna buy speakers?" thing? In the middle of the road at a large intersection?
So I just kept nodding with a "I'm not falling for it" look on my face while making sure to keep direct eye contact.
I was carrying at the time, at 4:00 in an IWB holster, so it wasn't immediately accessible from my seated, seatbelted position. but it was there just in case.
What was that all about? Anyway, I guess nothing happened. He got back in his truck and they took off when the light turned green.

Poll Position: Time to Dine
August 27, 2012 | By Ashley Kosciolek | No Comments
There are lots of nuances when it comes to dining times. If you're more traditional, you likely opt for a set time. However, there are issues to consider when requesting particular seatings. For example, earlier dining times will probably have more children, and later dining times can mean you have to wait an extra couple of hours to eat. We were curious which most passengers prefer.
What we asked: I prefer the ___ seating for dinner onboard.
What they said: Of more than 2,700 people, 40 percent prefer anytime dining, 32 percent prefer dining early at a set time, and 25 percent prefer later set-seating. Just 3 percent said they dine at the buffet.
What it all means: The times have changed, and folks prefer the convenience of eating when they want — particularly as ships offer a wider range of nighttime activities.
On Facebook, Shari Kroll Koeper shares some of the pluses and pitfalls of flexible dining: "We liked being able to decide day-to-day what time to eat, but we always ate alone. We kind of missed the friendships we made on previous cruises when we'd eat with the same people every night."
And, of course, there are still those stalwarts who like more regimented dining times.
I "prefer early, as it is closer to when we eat at home," says Lisa Sanchez Wiggs. Talia Knezic also prefers earlier seatings, which she says allow her to meet other families and have enough time to digest her dinner before grabbing late-night slices of pizza.
Melissa D Quinn says she prefers a later seating "so we have time to get back from excursions and ready for dinner without hurrying." Meanwhile, Brian Collins weighs in: "Late for us, we gather in the bar near the dining-room access, have a few pre-dinner drinks and catch up with the daily activities of friends not at our table."
And, last but not least, there are those who enjoy other options.
Edith Musch describes the buffet like this: "better views and way more relaxed, without waiters fussing over you." Sandra Bickel agrees; "buffet works for us, picky eaters can always find something good."

Murphy shows value off bench, gets bragging rights with homer
MIAMI Donnie Murphy showed Wednesday why he was chosen for the Marlins' utility infielder job despite being outplayed in spring training by Donovan Solano.
Inserted into the lineup after second baseman Omar Infante was scratched with a left groin strain, Murphy had a home run, double and three RBI in a 9-1 romp over the Cubs. He came into the game with no hits in three at-bats.
While the towering homer off Matt Garza got the Marlins off to a 2-0 start, Murphy's most impressive moment of the night was stretching a routine hit to left into a double when Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano made a casual throw to the infield. It helped key a four-run inning.
"As soon as I saw him not even take a peek at me and not coming up really firing, I knew I could take advantage of that and get into scoring position and get out of the double-play situation with [pitcher Mark] Buehrle up," Murphy said, applying the formula manager Ozzie Guillen has said the Marlins need to be successful. Added Murphy: "Play aggressive, play smart and take advantage of other teams mistakes."
Having shown the ability to do that was why Murphy made the team despite hitting .209 in the spring while Solano hit over .400. Murphy, 29, also had a $560,000 contract, while Solano, 24, has no big-league experience.
"It was a very tough call. … We keep the guys who know what their role is going to be and know how to handle the role," Guillen said. "When those guys contribut the way he did [Wednesday] – defensively, base-running, at bat — that's something you're not going to see every day. … It was awesome."
Murphy started again Thursday in place of Infante, who said he felt better and was optimistic about playing Friday at Washington.
"I knew my at-bats were going to be limited. But whenever they need me, especially with Infante a little banged up, I'm ready to show them that I can step in there and do what he does," said Murphy, who is healthy after missing more than four months last season with wrist inflammation.
He showed it on the towering homer to left. Along with four by Infante, the Marlins have the most home runs by second basemen in the majors.
Murphy was enjoying being able to needle slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who has yet to go deep this season.
"He's going to crush me later on in the year, but I can live my glory right now," Murphy said.
He is one of only three Marlins to set off the home run celebration feature at Marlins Park, but he didn't admire the show as he circled the bases.
"I didn't want to round second staring at the thing and accidentally trip trying to get a peek at it," he said.
Won't rush Infante
Guillen said Murphy could get another start Friday if Infante isn't ready. Infante missed a game last weekend with the groin strain and aggravated it running out a double Tuesday.
"I worry about those injuries. You're not going to feel 100 percent in just a few days," Guillen said.

Much has been written about the "internet of things." Right now, not every human being has an IP but in the very near future, low cost smart chips will be added to every device to give it an IP address and everything in one's life will become part of your private secure network to be monitored and controlled (and hence become smart) via a smartphone, tablet or PC. Earlier this week, Dutch-based NXP Semiconductors announced its GreenChip, which for the cost of about US$1.00, enables every light bulb to have its own wireless IP address. NXP has subsequently announced it is to make its JenNet-IP, ultra-low-power, IEEE 802.15.4-based, wireless network layer software available under an Open Source license in Q4, 2011. This development is very significant as it reduces the cost and greatly simplifies adding "smart" connectivity and two-way communication into a wide range of devices, and might well establish a cross-application standard for wireless connectivity in both residential and industrial environments.

SALT LAKE CITY -- The UCLA Bruins wrapped up the regular season with a 62-52 win at Utah on Sunday afternoon at the Huntsman Center. It was just UCLA's third win on the year in 18 tries when trailing at the break. The Bruins improved to 7-3 all-time against Utah and have won all six meetings against the Utes since they joined the Pac-12 Conference.
The Bruins finished in eighth place in the Pac-12 and improved to 13-17 overall and 7-11 in league play while Utah fell to 11-18 on the year and 4-14 in the Pac-12.
The Bruins trailed by as many as seven points in the second half (32-25 with 18:01 to go). But UCLA went on a 10-1 run to take a 35-33 lead with 15:01 to go that culminated with a three by Madeline Brooks. Utah tied the game at 43-43, but Nirra Fields scored seven quick points to give the Bruins their largest lead of seven points (50-43) with 7:07 remaining.
Utah opened the game with a 5-0 lead and held its largest lead of the first half at six points (10-4) with 16:35 to go in the period. Trailing 12-8, the Bruins engineered an 11-1 run to take their largest lead of the opening stanza at six points (19-13) when Atonye Nyingifa found a cutting Dominique Williams for an easy two with 8:41 to go in the half. The Bruins led 25-22 on a jumper by Luiana Livulo (1:54), but Michelle Plouffe scored the final five points of the first half to give her Utes a 27-25 lead at the break.
The Bruins outrebounded Utah 18-17 in the opening 20 minutes and both teams had eight turnovers. Thea Lemberger did not play in the game due to illnes and Fields did not start for the first time this year due to a violation of unspecified team rules.
Fields led the Bruins with a game-high 22 points and added five assists, four rebounds and three steals. She also had career-high in free throws made (13) and attempted (17). Nyingifa had 16 points, nine rebounds, five asissts and three steals in her last regular season game. Corinne Costa had a superb showing with 15 points (two shy of her career-high) and eight rebounds to go with three assists and two blocks.
Michelle Plouffe led Utah with 20 points on her senior day. Emily Potter was the only other Ute to reach double figures with 14 points, to go with eight rebounds.
UCLA will head to Seattle for a first-round matchup with the Colorado Buffaloes in the 2014 Pac-12 Tournament. The game is scheduled to tip at Noon on Thursday, March 6.

This is a breathtakingly beautiful dress, and I am so sad to part with it! The lace detailing is really exquisite and gives it a very romantic and vintage feel, all while being incredibly sexy.
I purchased this dress to use at my reception, but as wedding costs have risen, I can't afford to keep it. It has never been worn, except for when I tried it on, and comes in the original bridal store bag. There is a very small snag on the ribbon that goes around the waist, but it would be easy to replace and I personally think the dress looks better without it. The dress has not been tailored or altered in any way so it was a bit long on me. Would be great for someone a few inches taller, or with really high heels.

Adam Kwasman is currently a Republican state legislator in Arizona, and he is campaigning for Congress. In the midst of a very serious illegal immigration situation in his state, Kwasman made a little mistake that is funny, regardless of your political leanings. The New York Daily News carried the story on Wednesday.
Kwasman was involved in a spirited gathering in Oracle, Ariz., to protest the unexpected arrival of a busload of underage illegal immigrants. After he tweeted a fiery message about the highly-charged issue, it then became apparent that the bus in question was not carrying underage illegal immigrants at all. It was a busload of YMCA campers. His tweet, now removed, read as follows:
"This is not compassion. This is the abrogation of the rule of law."
Kwasman was talking with a reporter about the fear he saw on the children's faces when it was discovered that the children were local campers en route to YMCA camp. Kwasman then admitted that the kids did actually have sad faces, and he correlated this to the fact that "people are not happy down the line." That may be true, and there may have been a few tearful campers already homesick, but the Washington Post reports that the local news described the kids to be laughing and taking photos. That would make for an interesting school presentation, "What I did on summer vacation."
The scenario on the border in the southern states is reaching a fevered pitch. People are frightened and angry that the federal government is not only refusing to protect the border but actually fostering the illegal entry of thousands of underage teens. Citizens are demanding that their legislators take action to prevent their localities from being forced to support hundreds of these unknown illegals, whether children, teens or adults. Adam Kwasman was just acting on the will of his constituents, and he is seeking higher office. However, taking all of the above into consideration, the situation is comical. In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, "That's funny, no matter who you are."

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina extended its winning streak to seven games with a pair of victories Saturday afternoon at the Pirate Clash. ECU downed Fairfield 9-0 in five innings during the first game and topped Lehigh 8-0 in six innings in the second contest. The Pirates (11-4) improved to 9-1 inside their new facility with the pair of victories. It is also East Carolina's sixth winning streak of seven game or more since the start of the 2009 season.
Senior Sissy Jimenez drove in two runs with a pair of hits and freshman Rebecca Lee had three RBI with a bases-loaded walk and single against Fairfield (1-3). Versus Lehigh (0-2), freshman Jill Jelnick and junior Suzanne Riggs led the offense, combining for five hits, four RBI and three runs scored. Senior Toni Paisley recorded the victory against the Mountain Hawks for the 95th of her career, the second most in Conference USA history. Paisley surpassed Houston's Angel Shamblin (2005-08/94) and trails DePaul's Lindsay Chouinard (2000-03/108) by 13 for the all-time record. Paisley is also now seven victories shy of Jenny Parsons' ECU program-best 102 wins.
In the opener, junior Faith Sutton (2-2) went all five innings, surrendering three hits and a pair of walks. Sutton also struck out one. Kelli Panter, Rae Ball and Emily Orr all pitched for the Stags with Panter (0-1) suffering the loss. She went three innings, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks. Ball went one-and-two-thirds frames and gave up five hits and five runs. Orr came in and recorded the final out.
Paisley (9-2) recorded the win in the second game, allowing just a sixth-inning single to Lehigh. She also issued three walks but struck out 11. Paisley now has 997 career whiffs. She will become the first pitcher in program or league history to reach the 1,000-strikeout plateau. Ashley Quigley (0-2) took the loss for the Mountain Hawks, throwing five innings and allowing five runs, two earned, on nine hits and a pair of walks. She also fanned a pair in the contest. Rebecca Bliss did not record an out in the sixth inning, but gave up three runs on four hits.
In the opener, the Pirates used four walks and one base hit in the top of the second inning to take a 3-0 lead. Freshmen Alex Fieldhouse, Abby Wynne and Jasmine Robbins drew free passes to load the bases before one to classmate Kristi Oshiro forced in Fieldhouse. Lee followed with a sharp single to left, driving in Wynne and Robbins for the three-run cushion.
Fairfield tallied its first hit of the game in the top of the second on a leadoff single by Alli Wigand. A fielder's choice, groundout and foul out ended the Stags' threat.
ECU tacked on another run in the top of the third. Freshman Jordan Lewis started the frame with an infield single, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Fieldhouse and scored on a single up the middle by Jimenez.
The Pirates broke the game open in the top of the fifth inning with five runs for a 9-0 advantage. Riggs led off with a single up the middle and Lewis singled through the left side. Fieldhouse put down her second sacrifice bunt of the game, moving both runners up a base. Jimenez then delivered her second RBI of the game with a single to right field that drove in Riggs. The right fielder misplayed the ball, allowing Lewis to score for a 6-0 lead and advancing Jimenez to second.
Freshman Mahrisch Medina entered to pinch run for Jimenez and scored the seventh run of the game on a single to left center by Jelnick. Wynne followed with another single, putting runners on first and second with one out. After a fly out, Oshiro tallied an infield single to fill the bases before Lee drew a walk to force in Jelnick for an 8-0 edge. Freshman pinch hitter Taylor Megargel kept the runs coming with a single through the left side for her first career base hit and RBI. Lewis flew out to the warning track in left to halt the scoring.
Sutton surrendered a pinch-hit single to Macy Cutshaw and a base hit to Tiffany Lawson in the bottom of the fifth, but retired Kristen Filicia on a pop out to Jelnick near first base. The blanking was Sutton's first solo shutout of the season.
In the second game, ECU wasted little time getting on the board taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first with a two-out rally. Riggs singled to left with two down, stole second and came home on a single up the middle by Lewis. The base knock extended Lewis' hitting streak to a career-best seven games.
Lehigh recorded its first base runner in the top of the third when Lizzy Odren drew a one-out walk. A sacrifice bunt by Rosie Roessel moved Odren to second, but Paisley retired Audra Wood on a fly out to Riggs in left to end the threat.
In the bottom of the fourth, the Pirates added three more runs to make it a 4-0 edge. Jimenez led off with an infield single and junior Priscilla Velasquez followed reaching on an error by the second baseman. Sophomore Cicely Lopez put down a sacrifice bunt, moving both runners up a base. Megargel entered to pinch run for Velasquez and came home, along with Jimenez, on a triple to center field by Jelnick. Oshiro dropped a single into left in front of a diving Wood to plate Jelnick for the four-run lead.
The Mountain Hawks posed their best threat of the game in the top of the fifth, loading the bases with no outs when Jennifer Colquhoun and Carly Potock drew walks to open the frame. Jacqi Kennelly followed with a fielder's choice as Lopez went to field the grounder and step on third for the force, but could not handle the hard shot. Paisley rebounded to retire Odren on a pop out, Roessel with a strikeout and Wood on a whiff to end the threat.
East Carolina added another run for a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth. Riggs reached on a leadoff single as she beat out a slow roller to the third baseman. Lewis ripped her second single of the game to push Riggs to second with no outs. Riggs was caught stealing third and Lewis went to second on the double-steal attempt. Jimenez grounded out to the second baseman, but Velasquez came through, singling to right field to plate Lewis.
Lehigh broke up Paisley's no-hit bid in the top of the sixth with a single to right field by Alex Cueva. ECU retired the side on a fielder's choice, foul out and strikeout.
ECU closed the game in the bottom of the sixth, scoring three times for the 8-0 victory. Jelnick started the inning with a single to left before consecutive singles by Oshiro and sophomore Kai Clark loaded the bases. A wild pitch by Bliss brought in Jelnick before Riggs tripled down the right-field line to score Oshiro and Clark for the victory.
The Pirates complete their 11-game homestand tomorrow with a 3:00 p.m. contest against Campbell (8-5).

The grey-headed flying fox was the first Australian flying fox species discovered by Europeans. The first grey-headed flying fox specimen was reported as collected in New Holland and described by Temminck in 1825. Their numbers have declined drastically since European colonisation from many millions to a few hundred thousand. The known range for grey-headed flying foxes has contracted southwards by about 750 km and their southern limit during winter has expanded into Victoria. They are the largest Australian fruit bat and are endemic to Australia. Grey-headed flying foxes have sophisticated vocal communication, making more than 30 specific calls.
Fascinating grey-headed flying fox facts
Grey-headed flying foxes in NSW have a diverse diet comprising at least 54 flower species (nectar and pollen), and 48 fruit species from subtropical rainforest. They mostly eat prozac, nectar and pollen from eucalypt woodlands and forests, but some individuals eat mainly blossom and others select mainly fruit.
Some Greys stay permanently in one camp; others will travel widely between camps to feed on irregularly flowering eucalypts. Two young adult males tracked over 10 months made round trips of at least 2000 km, transiting 6–15 camps.
