I read the March 28 front page article by reporter Carmen George headlined "Water concerns and privatization discussed" with great interest. I thought I should provide a response for I feel that there appears to be a lot of miss-information going around regarding the issue of private water companies.
The following expresses my thoughts on many of the items mentioned in the article.
Throughout my engineering career I have been involved in many projects relating to water supply and wastewater treatment, and have worked with private utility companies on many occasions. My opinion of them has been quite good. They hire very competent people to run the facilities as efficiently as possible. They provide this service at a very competitive cost when compared to similar services provided by public utilities. Just because private utility companies are in business to make a profit for their stockholders does not mean that they automatically do not provide a cost effective service to their utility customers.
I have lived in Stockton for many years and have found that the California Water Service Company (Cal-Water), who provides about 40% of the city's water (the city's municipal utility department provides the remaining 60%), often has provided this service cheaper than that provided by the city.
Private utilities have been around in our state for a very long time. In addition to Cal-Water mentioned about, one very large one is Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and I have become aware of a company called Citizens Utilities Company that operates many water systems around the country including a few around Sacramento. They would not be in business if they provided poor service to their customers.
The article mentioned that "Companies that purchase water have a history of raising rates significantly and putting districts in debt." The person that said this, Ms. Lynn Jacobsson, has it all wrong. All private utility companies in this state are regulated by the California Public Utility Commission (PUC). In addition to regulating how the utility performs its service, the PUC must approve all rate increases. The company must provide a detailed application to the PUC that clearly shows the justification for the increase requested.
Often times the reasons for the request is to cover the cost of complying with new federal clean water regulations. Such regulations are also imposed on public utilities. In their analysis of the application, the PUC does allow for a "reasonable" profit for the company. On a few rare occasions, I recall the PUC did not grant the request, citing insufficient justification.
Ms. Jacobsson mentioned the profit that the American Water Company made for all of the utilities they operate around the country, which apparently is quite a lot. For such a large company, I feel the profit they earned is not out of line. The real question that should be asked is ...did the company provide a competitive service for its customers? I'm sure the answer is "yes". The company would not be in business if they did not provide good service.
The story quoted Tony Ward as saying that the county should avoid the "monopoly of privatization". Regardless of who has total control over a service provided to the public, private or public, the service must be a monopoly. It is not practical for a customer to have a choice between two or more water purveyors. The real question is which provider, a public utility or private company, can provide the best and most competitive service.
Having lived in Stockton, I have a fairly good knowledge of the recent attempt to privatize the City's water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. The reasons for the failure were more political rather than possible poor performance by the private company. The City has a "strong mayor" form of government, and about 10 years ago the then mayor forced the privatization over the objections of many in the community. Counter to what was said in the article, the city of Stockton did not "sell" the water and sewer facilities. They simply hired a private company to run the facilities for a prescribed length of time.
When the mayor was "term limited" out, the forces behind the privatization were weakened considerably, and the opponents where successful in getting the contract with the private company canceled. In fact, there were provisions in the contract that covered the possibility of cancellation. It was that simple.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the county should perform a much more thorough investigation into the benefits of hiring a private company to maintain the county's various utility systems.

Viva la revolution! After decades of abuse at the hands of writer Jack Elrod, Mark Trail finally has a new master. Will he give this namby-pamby woodsman a much-needed shot of testosterone?
On Friday, the funnies page offered readers their first dose of "Mark Trail" under the aegis of James Allen. Trail now has a softer face, and, much to our surprise, a sudden yen to spend more time with his wife, Cherry (under Elrod's supervision, the mere thought of intimacy with his wife made Trail break out in hives - or a really stupid idea for a story he might pursue for the hunting magazine that employs him).
As detailed by The Gainesville Times, Elrod is now 90. But let's be honest folks, "Mark Trail" has grown old with him. The smartphones look like giant slabs of plastic. Women are seen as strange creatures to be feared. And far too many panels of the strip feature massive ducks and deer that often block out the action going on in the panel.
Can Allen, who has long toiled as Elrod's assistant, lend the strip new life?
We'd like to see Trail use a gun and a knife more often. We think Rusty should look less like a wolf-boy hyrbrid and serve as more of a sidekick. Doc Davis, Cherry's father, is old enough to be Methuselah., so maybe kill him off so Mark and Cherry can have more, um, "alone time" together. And for Pete's sake, give the guy a new job. No hunting magazine on the planet could make it in today's market....Give Trail a website to work for and a following on Twitter.
Maybe James Allen can make Mark Trail into a real man. We'll be scanning panels in the days ahead to see if "Mark Trail" is full of new ideas, or just old panels recycled for new story lines.

The more I discover that, although I'm really digging the potency of this nail color, I am so not feeling the smell I have to endure for moments at a time (that seem like forever the more you think about the smell).
Sure, it's only a temporary ingestion or inhale of what could possibly be harmful chemicals in the long run, but not if one finds themselves always consumed with beauty products, then it become an issue of having to "deal with it all the time". Bottom line is there has to be a healthier alternative without the guilt trip.
Thankfully with the recent growth in the green market there has been a trickling down effect in all areas pertaining to organic, most notably health and beauty. Now that the focus has shifted to more environmentally driven beauty products, there are now, more than ever, healthier alternatives available.

Professor Dr. Craig Smith Publishes Four Articles
Dr. Craig Smith, chair of the Theology and Ministry Department at Sterling College, continues to explore a Scriptural passage, Matthew 5:43-48, that has been of particular interest to him since he wrote "At the Cross: At the Crossroads," published in 2006 with OMF Lit. He has recently written "Loving Our Enemies: A Divine Task," a shorter piece which is also based on the Matthew 5 passage. This article will appear in the September/October issue of "Preaching" and is one of four articles by Dr. Smith that will be published this year.
Regarding this article, Dr. Smith says, "To love our enemies begins by determining who is our enemy. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn probably was closest to the mark when he said, 'If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?' Loving our enemies fulfills God's Law and is an extension of the command to love our neighbor (Lev. 19:18). In its essence love-our-enemy love is selfless-outward-looking love which seeks the tenuous ground of being on the side of all people. For this reason it is costly, rewarding and only possible through Christ."
Another of Smith's pieces deals with this same issue. "Loving Our Enemies in a Multi-Ethnic and Multi-Religious Society" considers Jesus' mandate to love enemies as it is expressed in Matthew 5:43-48 and is informed by Matthew 26:47-56. "By comparing Christ's teaching with his contemporaries, one will see the uniqueness of Jesus' perspective in this pluralistic world. I also consider the costly nature of loving one's enemies since it requires putting aside the sword," said Smith of this article, which will be published in the August issue of "Church and Society in Asia Today."
The third article, "The Development of Style (fifth century BC to second century AD) and the Consequences for Understanding the Style of the NT," will be published in the May/June issue of the "Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism."
The final article, "Collaborative Preaching," will appear in the May/June edition of "Preaching." "Preachers are faced each week with the challenge of being relevant in the face of many different people groups," said Smith. "Traditionally preachers have tried to imagine these different people groups and have attempted to direct some part of the message to them. This article raises the option of inviting these different people groups to be part of the sermon preparation process by getting their feedback directly as together they hash out the meaning and application of the text. The result is a more dynamic and refreshing message which is relevant since it is tried and tested."
"Dr. Smith's research and writing are of great benefit to the College," said Sterling College President Dr. Paul J. Maurer. "He is both increasing his own expertise and serving as an example to our students of a continual pursuit of excellence and learning."

College Hockey:Huskies Warm Up For Beanpot Title Game
BOSTON — Beanpot? What Beanpot?
The Northeastern Huskies (16-10-3, 9-7-2 HEA) made a statement on Friday night: one game at a time.
While the Monday championship game in the 50th annual Beapot was on their minds, beating Merrimack was at the forefront.
Mike Ryan scored at 14:43 of the second for the game-winning goal, as Northeastern defeated Merrimack (8-18-2, 3-13-2 HEA), 5-2, in front of 2203 at Matthews Arena.
Trevor Reschny notced two goals and Jim Fahey added three assists in the winning cause. Fahey also scored his 100th point, only the fifth Northeastern defenseman to do so. Tim Foster added a goal and an assist for Merrimack.
Northeastern scored at 3:17 of the first after Merrimack's Nick Torretti was in the box for goaltender interference. Chris Lynch tipped in a pass by Jim Fahey from the point while on the power play.
While the pace of the opening period was quick, Merrimack had the balance on the attack. Merrimack would turned up the heat, firing 20 shots on net in the period to Northeastern's 11.
"We came out flat in the first and Merrimack definitely took it to us," said Northeastern coach Bruce Crowder. "I'm not sure if we had our heads somewhere else, but we knew that if we kept that up we would be in trouble. Keni Gibson was definitely the difference for us."
"Untimely penalties," said Merrimack assistant coach Mike Doneghey. "We took penalties at the wrong time and it really killed us tonight."
When Northeastern goalie Gibson was asked what held Merrimack to only one goal on 20 shots, he said, "Tim Judy. He saved me on one chance and if it wasn't for him they would have had a couple more."
After a failed attempt by Northeastern to pinch the puck, Merrimack drove in on the 2-on-1 advantage and after a series of passes Torretti found Tim Foster in front of Gibson, who put home the wrister at 9:03.
Northeastern went on the advantage again at 10:18 with Matt Foy in the box for hitting after the whistle. Northeastern failed to convert on the chance with the only solid bid coming from a Lynch one-timer.
Immediately following the penalty, an errant pass found the stick of Foy all alone on Gibson. Gibson denied the bid as well as a flurry of chances by the Warriors.
"Keni has really been the guy for us this year," said Crowder. "He has kept us in the game and has given us a chance to win time and time again."
Merrimack got a chance on the power play at 13:47 with Mike Ryan in the box for interference, but the Warriors were unable to find the back of the net.
"Our power play," said Doneghey, "hasn't been there all year. They [Northeastern] did a great job of clogging the neutral zone and made it really tough to get anything set up. [Crowder] has got a great team down there. One of the hottest teams in the country and they are going to make some real noise."
Scoring would end in the first with both teams tied at two.
What appeared to be a goal for Merrimack at the 16:00 mark was called a no goal by official Joe Ross. The light went on but the final ruling after play stopped was no goal. Play continued on for almost a minute before play way stopped.
"After Ross talked to the the goal judge, the goal judge said he thought it went in," said Doneghey, "Ross felt that his body language indicated that it was a no goal. If we go up 2-1 at that point, who knows, maybe it's a different game."
At 9:02 Northeastern's Trevor Reschny labeled the top left corner for his second goal of the season to put the Huskies ahead 2-1. The play developed after the speedy Brian Tudrick carried the puck the length of the ice and dished the puck out to an open Reschny for the tally.
Play got chippy at the 12:00 mark as Lynch picked up a double minor for slashing and Tim Foster of Merrimack the same.
At 14:43 Northeastern's Fahey connected with Ryan after a series of shifty moves by Fahey. Fahey spilt the defense and setup Ryan in the slot for his 21st goal of the season. With the assist Fahey would reach the 100-point mark on his career, the 40th Husky to reach that mark.
Said Fahey, "Sure, it's big. I think my parents were happier than I was though. Now that we've won, all I'm concerned with now is Monday's game [at the Beanpot]."
Merrimack's Anthony Aquino would bring Merrimack within one at 17:43 after he skated past all defenders, around the net and stuffed the puck home on Gibson's weak side.
With one second remaining in the period, Northeastern was called for too many men on the ice, giving Merrimack the advantage to start the third.
At 7:09 Northeastern would make hard work pay off as Fahey would connect again, this time with Reschny making the score 4-2. The goal developed after the line of Tudrick, Reschny and Hayward pressured the zone and force a turnover.
Northeastern put the game away at 18:44 when Jon Awe found Eric Ortlip in front of the net for his eighth goal of the season.
For the Huskies it's onto the Beanpot. Fahey said, "Monday is huge, it's my last year and bringing it back to Huntington Ave is what we all want. I know I'll do everything I can to get it back."
Northeastern will face Boston University (18-7-2, 11-5-2 HEA) in the championship game of the Beanpot on Monday night at the FleetCenter at 8 p.m., while Merrimack will face Maine (16-8-5, 10-4-3 HEA) at home Saturday at 7.

1. Who is in control of my pain management after my operation? The last thing you need, when you're in recovery, is to feel unnecessary pain.
2. How many times have you been the anesthesiologist for this type of procedure? And as a follow-up, how many of those surgeries were successful? Every medical student has to learn sometimes, but most patients will rightly expect that a lead anesthesiologist should have direct experience with the procedure.
3. Will you personally be the acting anesthesiologist at the procedure? Will there be any assistants or other personnel participating? If there are others, ask about their experience level.
4. Aside from my breathing and heart rate, what do you monitor?
5. What are the risks for the type of anesthesiology I'll be receiving during the procedure, and how great are they?
6. Are there different options for the type of anesthesia I can receive for the procedure?

Right-handed hurler Tim Lincecum has agreed to a two-year deal worth a reported $35 million with the San Francisco Giants.
The 2012 World Series-winning Giants said Tuesday the deal, which would keep the two-time Cy Young Award-winner in San Francisco through 2015, is pending a medical exam.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported the contract is worth $35 million, down from the two-year, $40.5 million deal Lincecum inked in January 2012 after his fourth straight All-Star Game appearance.
Lincecum, 29, has won two World Series titles with the Giants, but his production has decreased the past two seasons.
However, he did toss the first no-hitter of his career in 2013, striking out 13 against the San Diego Padres on July 13.

If they learned anything useful to them, it might be to turn around and run as fast as they can the instant their intended victim produces a weapon. None of us are keen on shooting anyone in the back, no matter how much they might deserve it.
The first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread (other than the obvious "Liberal" comment) was "Gee, that last thread about the tactical-clip knives would be a great give away for a robber if he were to do research on this site."
if they do maybe they will get the hint that some will not victims and they can have the tables turned on them.
if they had the attention span to read the forum they could get a real job.
I've known some BG's in my time, plenty of them, my own younger brother is a career criminal and drug user and he does live several hundred miles away and doesn't know where I live. On the rare occasion when we would meet someone else will set up a meeting and we'll meet in public.
Most BG's aren't the type to read or research anything. Most of their "learning" takes place in prison, through their "circle of friends" and in the school of hard knocks.
There are some,but very few who are intelligent enough to learn and they're the scary ones.
As a friend of mine who was a LEO LT in Philly once told me, if they weren't so dumb they would never get caught and the smart ones rarely do. I guess that's the difference between a career criminal and a professional criminal.
All we can do is stay alert, practice, seek training, share info ourselves and be ready and willing to act if the need should arise.
PC has become the term for Political Cowardice.
I'll bet as many bad guys read this forum as good guys read prison forums about how many cigarettes you need to trade for sex.
Well, maybe they are right in the middle or realizing that there are some folks out there who will shoot them if they act in such a manner that needs shooting...............good on them.
Was at the local gun shop last week and there are a lot A LOT of folks getting armed. I think that BG's go to the gun shop too. Should be a sobbering experience for them.

Well, I rarely have anything stunningly profound to add and I won't make an exception now.
I just checked at http://www.burglarcarry.com/ and the site does not exist so hopefully they are not as united in figuring us out as we are in figuring them out.
I agree with others that persons of the criminal bent are not likely to research and communicate to further their knowledge. Most criminals would possess a certain social dysfunction (that's why they're criminals) that would tend to limit this sort of trust and open information sharing.
If the chances of being involved in a self-defense situation is a thousand to one, then the chances of being involved in a self-defense situation where the criminal calls you by your CombatCarry handle must be rapidly approaching lazy-eight to one.
But just in case... hey BGs! We are here and we know you! We understand you and your motives. We know what makes you steal and we know how to make you stop. You have been warned.

Discussion and theory can only go so far. Training and execution is where the line gets drawn. Speaking from a military strategic standpoint, you can study your enemy (and he can study you) as much as you both want. Once you realize that he knows what you know, and you know what he knows, it becomes a matter of who can put that knowledge to use the best and quickest.
Furthermore, I'd be willing to bet that most common criminals do not train as often as we do (and we SHOULD be training), therefore giving us the upper hand.
And if they do?
Train harder.
I guess my definition of a BG is different then others. If a person is breaking the law whether high tech or violent in my book they are still BG. There are a lot of high tech criminals using computers to research and do crimes. Simply I trust no one, not even family members or my best of friends. People can change in a very short time. A lot that determines if a person becomes a 'BG' is what is going on in their life.
If the laws were to be changed, where Guns were prohibited there would be any numerous people here who could with a stroke of a pen become 'BG'. It is a very dangerous assumption that all BG are stupid. As in all walks of life there are various levels of Intelligence.
Also there are various levels of commen sense.
Don't kid yourself, there are people in Prison who have very high IQ, as well as some on the outside, who haven't been caught yet, who are sociopaths with very high IQ.

Mana From Heaven
XPs: Maturity, Infamous 2 and weapons
Now then, you followers of my storied life who live in Melbourne are probably at least dimly aware now that Mana Bar Melbourne, the second of what will no doubt eventually be a McDonalds-like global chain of video game cocktail bars, is opening this Saturday. Tomorrow, in fact, the 16th of July. The bar opens at 12 noon and, as with the Brisbane bar, there'll be free entry and free games for as many people as we're allowed to squeeze in, which is limited, so you might want to start queueing now. The bar can be found at 336 Brunswick Street. Not the Brunswick Street in Brisbane where the Brisbane Mana Bar is, confusingly, the Brunswick Street in Melbourne, in Fitzroy.
I fly out there mere hours after writing this post so I'll be there on the Saturday with a big box of copies of Mogworld to sell and a big pen for signing them with. Regrettably I won't be there on Sunday, some of us actually have lives to lead, can't waste away all our time getting ratarsed and playing Marvel Vs. Capcom, so if you don't make it on the Saturday you'll have to wait for my next fleeting visit.

Sounds great, open one in Coolum!!!ReplyDelete
PS Go to the next Supa Nova with your book & I'll buy one in BrisVegas ;) Love your zero punctuation my teen put me onto them, they rip ;)ReplyDelete
Wished I had a flying chocolate saber-tooth moose lion so I can fly over to Melbourne myself. But then again if I could I'd most likely get lost on purpose. So how about you open an Mana Bar in Los Angeles.ReplyDelete
Toowoomba needs a Mana Bar because it has the largest population of an inland non-capital city in Australia. Also everyone in Toowoomba is always drunk so they will greatly appreciate it.ReplyDelete
Seriously, we Americans are dying for a classy drinking joint. One that doesn't smell like piss would be great. A welcome change.ReplyDelete
I left you a message on FB but I want to be sure you get it so here it is... Please, kind sir, review Men of War. The escapist has a good piece on why it's so good. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_226/6734-A-View-From-the-TrenchesReplyDelete
The game is a bit old, but, hey, you could take it as a leaping off point for games you missed the first time around. Might be fun!
Your next Mana Bar should open in Seattle. I'm just saying. We're like, right there. You'd get all the Valve employees, plus all the gamers, plus all the hipsters who hate video games and are going to the bar for irony points. It'd be perfect.ReplyDelete
Right, so next...Toronto, Canada.ReplyDelete
Okay so when Canada rules the world you open one up here yes? lolReplyDelete
Hey, Yahtzee, bring this thing back to your homeland! Though I can't pay 50 quid to get to London each time, so... Mana Bar Leicester?ReplyDelete
As much as I'd like to post something like "omg, Mana Bar (insert location here) plz?!", I'd rather say, congrats on opening your second location. I hope your guys' second location is as awesomely successful as the first. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
Hey Yahtzee open a Mana on the Moon! LOLZ!!1ReplyDelete
But before that, hearty congratulations on the thriving business. Well done to you and your cohorts.
Hi Yahtzee! Went to the Mana Bar in Fitzroy last night, was a real classy joint and the drinks were great.ReplyDelete
Hopefully you can extend your license past 11pm! As we were in line from 9-10 and only got an hour to enjoy Raskulls and Street Fighter while intoxicated. I'll hopefully be seeing you when you next come down from Brisbane!
Also I met Yug! He's a lot more effeminate in real life than he sounds in podcasts or in videos. But he was very nice
This is a good skill to generate dollars with Runescape Gold, not surprisingly when you may cut mage trees and fletch mage longs you could high alch like crazy. Enough mentioned. Kidding. Mage logs sell like crazy at the same time as bowstring, so you are able to provide the fletchers, or fletch and high alch Runescape Gold, either way end result a really profitable 401kRs Gold .ReplyDelete

Bethenny Frankel appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday night where she opened up about her divorce from Jason Hoppy, her new relationship with Michael "Mac" Cerussi, and her plans for life after the end of her talk show, Bethenny.
"Honestly, it's been a year, 15 months of this," Frankel explained of her divorce, according to a March 26 report on E! News. "I don't want to talk about it cause it's not best for Bryn. Honestly, I really don't."
Since their split, Frankel and Hoppy have remained silent, choosing to focus solely on their daughter Bryn, as they should. That being said, there has been a lot of speculation and leaked information from "sources" which has surely added to the stress of their ongoing divorce.
But despite all that, Frankel has moved on and is now dating Cerussi, although she failed to name him during her chat with Andy Cohen.
"I am dating and I'm happy," Frankel said. "I'm good. I finally feel a little bit of liberation and a little bit of freedom."
As for her plans post-talk show, Frankel says she is looking forward to taking "a break."
"I loved every day, I loved connecting to women," she said. "It's just been an amazing experience. I have my own Skinnygirl business, I have the cocktails and a lot of different products that are launching this year. I really do need a break."

'Taken 2′ Tops Box Office Over 'Argo' and 'Sinister'
Ben Affleck's drama "Argo" and the horror film "Sinister" battled at the box office over the weekend, but neither succeeded in taking the crown from "Taken 2."
The Liam Neeson vehicle, from News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox, earned $22.5 million in its second weekend in theaters, bringing its cumulative domestic grosses to $86.6 million. (News Corp. also owns The Wall Street Journal.)
"Argo," about the rescue of six Americans during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, came in second place, taking in $20.1 million. The $44 million film from Time Warner's Warner Bros. Pictures was directed by and co-stars Mr. Affleck as Tony Mendez, a real-life Central Intelligence Agency operative who helped engineer a fake Hollywood film production as a cover story for the rescue of the diplomats from the home of the Canadian ambassador in Iran.
Following closely on its heels was "Sinister," distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment's Summit Entertainment and produced by Jason Blum of the "Paranormal Activity" franchise. On just a $3 million budget, the film–starring Ethan Hawke as a true-crime novelist who discovers why a family was murdered in his home–earned $18.3 million at the box office.
"Hotel Transylvania," the animated family film from Sony's Sony Pictures Animation, earned $17.3 million in its third week in theaters, bringing its cumulative grosses to $102.2. The movie continued to out-perform its primary competitor Walt Disney's "Frankenweenie," which earned $7 million in its second weekend in theaters.
The comedy "Here Comes the Boom," starring Kevin James and Salma Hayek, and distributed by Sony's Columbia Pictures, took fifth place, earning $12 million in its first weekend in theaters.
And the a cappella comedy "Pitch Perfect," from Comcast's Universal Pictures, continued to connect with audiences, grossing $9.3 million in its third week in theaters, bringing its cumulative domestic earnings to $36 million.
Several other new films did small business, particularly "Seven Psychopaths," starring Colin Farrell, which earned $4.3 million, and "Atlas Shrugged Part II," which took in $1.7 million.

Freshman Ian Gibaut earned two saves and a win on the mound for the Greenies last week
March 11, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane baseball's Ian Gibaut was named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Pitcher of the Week today for his performances on the mound last week for the Green Wave, the organization announced today.
The freshman from Houston was essential for the Green Wave during their three wins last week, as he notched a win, two saves and seven strikeouts in 7.2 innings of relief.
"He played a major role for us this past week," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "He is very deserving of this."
On Tuesday against Northwestern State, Gibaut was one of three freshman pitchers to hold the Demons scoreless on the afternoon. In the Greenies 3-0 win, Gibaut pitched 1.2 innings, striking out three and earning his first collegiate save in the process.
Coming in to close out a 3-2 victory on Friday against High Point, Gibaut pitched an inning and struck out the final batter to collect his second save in as many appearances.
Two days later, Gibaut was used extensively out of the bullpen during Tulane's 11-10 victory in 12 innings over High Point. Gibaut made his longest appearance on the season - 5.0 innings - striking out three and earning his first collegiate win. He also only held High Point to three hits through his 5.0 innings of service after the Panthers notched 15 through the first seven innings.
"We had to use him more than we wanted to on Sunday, but he pitched effectively, and got the job done for us," added Jones.
On the season, Gibaut has made seven appearances, tied for fifth in Conference USA, and he has been on the mound at the end of five Green Wave contests - good for a tie at third place in the conference. Also, his two saves are tied for sixth in the league.
In 12.1 innings during seven appearances, Gibaut has posted a 2.19 ERA, walking only five while striking out 12.
The Green Wave will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Hammond to face Southeastern Louisiana at 6pm CST. Both teams will come to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium for a 6:30pm CST tilt on Wednesday night. Both contests will be broadcast on 106.1 The Ticket.
You can follow the Tulane baseball program on Twitter (@GreenWaveBSB) or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/GreenWaveBaseball.

President Peres meets with US Senators McCain, Graham and Barrasso

(Communicated by the Office of the President)
On Saturday evening (4 January 2014)
President Shimon Peres
held a working meeting
at his Jerusalem residence with US Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Barrasso (R-WY). The Republican senators, who arrived from Afghanistan, are visiting as part of a wider tour of the region.
President Peres began the meeting by thanking the senators for coming and said, "It's a time of decisions, all decisions are tough but not to make a decision is a mistake. Secretary Kerry in investing significant time and effort and I believe that peace is possible despite the difficulties. Before peace with Egypt people said it's impossible. With the Palestinians it's complicated for them and for us. I have known President Abbas for many years and I believe he really wants peace. There has been some progress but the major decisions are before us and we have to do what we can. It's a changing world, a changing Middle East."
President Peres and the senators also discussed the Iranian nuclear threat and President Peres said, "Terror is the greatest danger for the Arab world. There is almost no coherent Arab country left because of terror. Russia is also undergoing this awful experience. As well as what we have put before the Iranians we have to put two more issues - one is the development of long range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, they don't need nuclear missiles if they don't want nuclear weapons. The second thing is stopping Iranian intervention in terror across the world; they are engaged, unfortunately, everywhere.
Senator John McCain thanked President Peres and said, "We've had good meetings with the Prime Minister, with President Abbas, with Secretary Kerry and we have room for guarded optimism. It's a very difficult process but we appreciate Secretary Kerry's great efforts and we also see a willingness that hasn't necessarily always been there in the past. On Iran, we share your comments and we also continue to be worried about Syria."

Nancy Glassman a retired Optometrist stole Cosmo the cat from a bagel shop back in September. Her reasoning behind the action was to rescue the cat from abuse, and neglect.
Nancy was offered a plea deal if she plead guilty this Wednesday but she refused thinking it could give a bad name to people who help those who can not speak for themselves. The plea would have offered her case being dismissed, and sealed after six months of good behavior.
Says Nancy:
I took Cosmo with the permission of a worker, and her detainment was "completely irrational."
In a quote from the Daily News Nancy compared her case to that of child abuse cases saying:
"You have the little boy, the 4-year-old, that really breaks me up," Glassman said of Myls, who died under the watch of Kryzie King, 27, who allegedly tortured the little boy.
"What are we supposed to do as a society? That's really what it's about," Glassman added. "I don't want to set a precedent where people aren't allowed to help those who cannot speak."
What do you think about all of this? Is her act comparable to that of stealing an abused child? Is it a stretch? Please comment and voice your opinion.

A tornado struck the downtown of one of Massachusetts' largest cities, Springfield, June 1st, Wednesday afternoon, during rush hour, scattering debris, toppling trees, and frightening workers and residents. Confirmations from God are occurences that happen more than once that are divinely inspired. This is the latest confirmation stemming from the vision before the first outbreaks of tornadoes.
The latest oubreaks of tornadoes, since April, have targeted the urban areas, symbolizing the businesses, which evolve around the interest of the consumer and finances. God wants us our worship to come back to Him only so we can demonstrate an offering of daily worship that is acceptable to Him, for us to live life to the fullest (how He planned).
Matt. 6:24 - "No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth."
It is noticeable the end times are here and that the Lord is telling us that the cares we have relied on, involving our personal interest, are not going to enter Heaven. What's the conclusion? He allows our home, United States of America, to suffer loss, in an eye-popping way, to bring us back to Him.
"This is getting crazy.
"Tuscaloosa, Joplin, Minneapolis and now Springfield, Massachusetts. The list of "tornado towns" in 2011 continues to grow. So much for the myth that tornadoes do not strike urban areas.
"When the tornado struck the 3rd largest city in Massachusetts Wednesday at rush hour, amazing video shows the debris cloud and something we rarely see on video. The tornado literally sweeps across the Connecticut River, shattering another myth that bodies of water can stop tornadoes." Posted at 8:42 AM on June 2, 2011 by Paul Huttner
After all, what is the normal reaction a person has when they don't have an idea of the reasoning or happening of things? They ask someone. And if they don't know? Then, most people simply look up.
"It's an eye-opener," Miriam Santiago-Arce said as she watched the Talley home being dismantled. She pondered whether science, or something else, was responsible for the spate of global disasters lately, including twisters, floods, tsunamis and earthquakes. "I'm not religious or anything," she said. "But you wonder, what's going on?" By Tina Susman, Los Angeles Times June 3, 2011
All the world will praise His name. We need to deny ourselves, repent and carry our cross. Cry out to God for this nation. "Every fear has no place at the sound of Your great name; the enemy, He has to leave, at the sound of your Great Name...Jesus." Lyrics by Natalie Grant, "Your Great Name".

Who Would Be Your Pick For Best Player?
Lionel Messi was just named as the FiFA world player of the year. The awards were based on the votes of the coaches and captains of national teams as well as global journalists.
Messi scored more than any other player in Europe's top five leagues in 2010, with 42 goals in 36 La Liga games, as well as finishing top scorer in the Champions League in 2010 with 12 goals in 12 games. He totaled 60 goals for the year for club and country.
To be honest, I didn't realize he had scored 42 goals in 36 La Liga games. And quite frankly, that is an astonishing goal scoring record. I can't think offhand of any other player in modern times who has scored at more than a goal per game in one of the world's top leagues.
Just a quick comparison with Wayne Rooney's great 2009/10 season shows how good Messi was last year. In the 2009/10 season, Rooney was incredible…at least he was for the first 2/3 of the season. During that season Rooney had by far the best goals tally of his career so far with 26 goals in 32 EPL games. So Messi's 42 goals in just 36 La Liga games is at another level and almost beyond belief.
And this brings up another question. Is Messi really the world's best player? I have a simple way of answering this question. I don't bother with what position the player plays or how he performed last season or any of those criteria. I simply base it on picking the best team in the world and who would be my first pick, bearing in mind that someone else will have the next pick for his team.
In the past that pick has been players like Theirry Henry, Wayne Rooney, Steve Gerrard. But today I don't know if one particular player stands out to me.
So let me put the question out there. If you were up against someone else and had the first pick to put together the best team you could, who would you pick and why?

A Metro Atlanta high school student is arrested after trying to sell marijuana-laced brownies to his school-mates.
18-year-old Blake W. Kessler was arrested Tuesday and taken to the Fayette County Jail after it was discovered that he allegedly tried to make cash transactions by selling the marijuana-laced brownies through text messages.
According to Peachtree City Police, the McIntosh High School student was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of drug-related objects.
According to the AJC, Peachtree City Police arrested Kessler with the brownies in his possession which had been cut into individual slices.
Police also say Kessler had what appeared to be a used prescription bottle with "a metal device inserted as a marijuana grinder/smoking device that also contained suspected marijuana."

Gallery: Aldeburgh Primary School says 'thank you' to supporters as it opens new outdoor learning area
12:35 20 December 2012
THERE were celebrations with a festive flavour as youngsters marked the official opening of a new outdoor learning area.
Aldeburgh Primary School has been running a campaign to help pay for a raft of improvements for its early years pupils.
Yesterday they officially opened the second phase of the project, which is a row of three shops to encourage role play and help with mental arithmetic.
To say thank you to all those who have supported the project, pupils hosted an afternoon of mince pies and mulled wine and sang Away in a Manager.
The improvements have been funded through the Learning's Exciting at Aldeburgh Primary (LEAP) campaign, which has seen the local community donate around £12,000.
Headteacher Debbie Gayler said they would like to say a huge thank you to all those who have helped.
"It has been a fantastic effort by all involved," she said. "We can't thank people enough.
"There is a row of three shops with interchangeable signs. It means the children can explore role play and improve their speaking and listening skills as well as use the shops to support their mental mathematics.
"We had 18 children start in September, which is more than we have ever had before.
"As a result we had to adapt the curriculum so that it has a good early years focus but still stretches the year one children as well." The first phase of the outdoor learning area was completed earlier this year and includes a stage, digging area – which is currently being used as an allotment – and a sandpit.
The indoor facilities have also been improved, including a new ceiling and doorway that allows youngsters to move freely between their classroom and the outdoor area.
The fundraising will continue into 2013, as the youngsters are now trying to raise enough money for a sensory garden, which will hopefully be complete by Easter.
Anyone who would like to make a donation to the school's latest campaign to raise money to build a school sensory garden can send a cheque, payable to Aldeburgh School Fund, to Aldeburgh Primary School, Park Road, Aldeburgh, IP15 5EU .
