Things are lining up nicely for the Dodgers. 90 is a ton of games to win but they have a VERY deep starting pitching staff to do it ! I see them winning 100 games this year.
Corey Seager for 2016 NL Rookie of the Year Award
The way I look at those, FWIW, is break them into to categories first. Above 80 wins or below. That separates, for me, the teams that the oddsmakers think will be above or below .500. It's a process going through schedules. For example, a team that might look like a good under bet, might have a soft September schedule. Or a team that might fold and have AAA players sooner rather than later, might be playing all supposed contenders the last month. Or, even things like warm weather or dome teams playing a heavy dose of games in cold cities in April.........takes time.

I still want to know if all these people on Twitter and Pick-Selling sites claim to have beaten up books for years, I would think there would be no places left to place wagers.

Dez Bryant – Oklahoma State
Scout: David Syvertsen
Height/Weight: 6'2 – 220
40 Time:
Pro Potential: Terrell Owens – Buffalo Bills
Position Traits
Acceleration/Burst/Quickness: Outstanding quickness that can get him out in front right away. Is going north the second his hands are on the ball. Excellent short area quickness and ability to change direction at a high speed.
Agility/Leaping Ability: Consistently balanced which allows him to attack the ball in the air with full force. An excellent receiver in jump ball situations that grabs the ball at the apex of his leap. Can reach a very high vertical when leaving his feet from an awkward body position. A huge weapon in the red zone.
Blocking: Has the body and strength to dominate as a blocker, but the effort is up and down. Will run downfield on a big play to throw a block, but he is not the factor he is capable of being at the point of attack.
Body Control/Body Adjustment: Can be trusted to come down with the ball when the pass is not accurate. Locates the ball early and positions his body well to make a last second adjustment for the catch. Uses his big, strong frame to box out defensive backs like a power forward when the ball is up for grabs. Very balanced athlete through all of his progressions.
Concentration/Hands: Will let the ball in to his body at times, but possesses a strong pair of hands. At his best when near the end zone, knows how and when to deliver. Will be hesitant over the middle after he receives a big hit, but for the most part he is willing to sacrifice his body.
Release: Very tough to jam at the line. Has the blend of power, size, and quickness to combat any sort of press coverage. Does not have a ton of experience against press coverage and he will need to work on technique in this area.
Route Running: Can be used in all three levels of the passing game. Runs hard, aggressive route underneath that get plenty of separation. Reads coverages very well and works the seams with deceptions and explosion. Runs double routes exceptionally well, uses entire body to sell a defensive back. Explodes out of cuts. Does not break down and turn 90 or 180 degrees quick enough.
Separation: Obtains consistent separation with quickness rather than speed. Also uses his body to keep the defender away from the ball, giving the quarterback more space to work with in traffic.
Size/Length/Hand Size: Ask any coach Bryant has worked under, and it won't take long to hear about the freakishly large hands he has. The football fits in to them as if it were a junior league ball. May not have the ideal height for the position but he is close enough. Thicker than the average wide receiver.
Speed: Does not have elite timed speed but he plays more than fast enough on game day. Tough to catch in the open field, will run away from defenders when he has the initial separation.
Vision/Run After the Catch: Outstanding with the ball in his hands. One of the best punt returners in the country. Dangerous in the screen package because of his yards after catch ability. Strong runner that does not dance around tacklers, will lower the shoulder. Also has the quick hips to miss tacklers that put their heads down. Uses and sets up blocks like a running back.
Final Word: Bryant's top tier talent is undeniable, as he grades out across the board near or at the top in every category. However, before this season began there was the notion that he had the stereotypical star-receiver Prima Donna. Then he was suspended by the NCAA for the remainder of the 2009 season as a result of lying to officials concerning a relationship he had with Deion Sanders. On top of that, Bryant shares the same agent as Michael Crabtree, the Niners first round pick from 2009 that held out until October. If intangibles were not in the picture, Bryant would be a sure thing top 5 pick. He is ready for NFL action right now and can contribute as both a receiver an return specialist. He scored 21 total touchdowns in his last full season, and that kind of playmaking ability is sought after by every team in the league. If he can impress through workouts and private interviews prior to draft day, Bryant will surely hear his name called in the top half of the first round, even as high as the top 5.

The red carpet season may be over with the airing of the Academy awards. However, on home video it's still going strong with this week's DVD release of the Oscar winning best picture of the year. So, read on to find out about what you can see for the first week in March 2014.
Available Tuesday:
"12 Years A Slave"- A free Black man from New York is abducted and sold into southern plantation slavery in this searing best picture winner. Based on the autobiographical accounts of Solomon Northup. Barbaric practices are examined in accurate but, unsettling detail highlighted by astounding portrayals by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and supporting actress award winner Lupita Nyong'o and the unflinching direction by Steve McQueen ("Shame"). Part of the 30 Day rental program, which means it can only be rented now at local Family Video stores.
"Cold Comes the Night"- Bryan Cranston, in his first post-"Breaking Bad" performance, plays a half blind criminal featured in a slow burning Mystery that revolves around Alice Eve ("She's Out of my League") as a captive single mother protecting her child and a missing bag of money. Suspenseful and the leads certainly play against type to keep it fresh.
"Girl Rising"- Read an article with slideshow and trailer. Enter a contest to win a free DVD of "Girl Rising", courtesy of Cinedigm, by visiting the Pittsburgh Indie Movie Examiner's Facebook page for entry details.
"Last Days on Mars"- A Horror/Science Fiction hybrid that gets the Sci Fi part right. An intrepid collective of Astronauts travel to Mars for bacteria research and (of course, otherwise we wouldn't have a movie) find an alien microbe that infects, then controls it's carrier. Derivative, pieced together from better known material like "Alien", "The Thing" or "2001: A Space Odyssey". Although, the admirable acting by Liev Schreiber, Elias Koteas and Olivia Williams elevates this feature barely above mediocrity. Also available in Blu Ray.
"Oldboy"- A decade after the Cannes winning Korean Thriller comes Spike Lee's Americanized remake of a man imprisoned under mysterious circumstances for numerous years who is suddenly set free. His mission now is to find those who held him and make them pay. A note for note update, it seems the only thing Lee improved upon over the original is it's stellar cast that includes Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson and Sharlto Copley. Also available on Blu Ray.

College Hockey:Back injury forces Michigan State's Golembiewski to hang up the skates
Michigan State junior forward Zach Golembiewski has decided to end his college hockey career on the advice of medical professionals, the school announced Tuesday.
Golembiewski's doctors have advised him to stop playing due to a back issue.
"We are obviously disappointed in learning the news that Zach's injury will prevent him from continuing his playing career at Michigan State, yet grateful that it has been identified so that he will not be exposed to any long-term health risks," MSU head coach Tom Anastos said in a statement. "We are fully supportive of Zach's decision to end his competitive hockey career. Zach will continue to be a member of our team in some capacity, which will be determined over the next several days."
"This was a tough decision," added Golembiewski. "It was a struggle at first, because you put 12, 13 years into your passion, and all of a sudden, someone's advising you that it's best that you give up what you love. Playing at Michigan State was first a goal, then it became a dream come true. I am so blessed to have been able to wear the green and white jersey and be a part of this program."
Golembiewski, a winger who appeared in 56 career games over two seasons, injured his back over the summer and it was not responding to treatment. A diagnosis revealed that the injury was not healing due to an underlying condition and subsequent advice from specialists led to his decision.
Golembiewski is expected to lead a fully functional life in which he can still participate in athletic endeavors, including pick up/shinny hockey, as well as pursue his passion for golf, according to an MSU news release.

At the start of the World of Ruin phase of the game, Celes can feed fish to Cid. Based on the quality of the fish, Cid will either either live or die. How does the rest of the game change based on whether Cid lives or dies?
There's not much difference in terms of the rest of the story - regardless, Celes will leave the island in search of her friends.
If Cid lives, he will send Celes off on the raft he's built, and if he dies, Celes will discover a note that inspires her to take the raft on her own.
After you've left the island, I don't believe the game is different in any way. I think if he lives, you can return to the island later to visit him, but I don't believe this changes the events of the game either.
There's a description of the events on this page:
First - you'll cry so much less if you save Cid. It's really hard to do, it's just luck-based enough that it feels like a real accomplishment when you do save him. The game is not significantly different, but there's a bit of dialogue later that you don't have access to on the small island if you don't save him. It's minor, but I think it's worthwhile.

A completely irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), arising from
the hearts upper chamber (atrium), and conducted downwards to the hearts main chambers (ventricles) causing the
ventricles to contract faster and less efficiently than normal.
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent form of serious
cardiac arrythmia. It's incidence varies from 1% before age 60 to 20% at age 80. It is twice as common in men as
in women.
Abnormal rhythms may occur sporadically or may persist.
The heart may go into atrial fibrillation without any underlying heart disease. However, the
probability of AF increases dramatically when cardiovascular disease is present. AF can also occur with non-cardiovascular
Outlined are underlying causes: Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries, with or without a previous
heart attack;Hypertension (high blood pressure); Hyperthyroidism; Congestive heart failure; Rheumatic heart disease
caused by rheumatic fever; Stress related; Chronic lung disease; Alcoholism.
Stop smoking and reduce alcohol intake. Follow suggestions under Diet. Children and young adults
of parents with this condition may benefit from a low-fat diet. Some symptoms can be controlled with medications.
General Measures:
Possible Complications :
Atrial fibrillation is a common problem, with substantial morbidity. Thromboembolism
prevention is the best way to improve the prognosis.
A normal heartbeat rhythm can be restored with electro-cardioversion in about 50% of patients. In the other 50%,
heart rate can be controlled with medications. However, there is a high recurrence rate even after treatment.

What does Legacy Free Support in the BIOS mean?
migrated from stackoverflow.com May 31 '11 at 12:08
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Typically "Legacy Support" means providing a translation for DOS or bootable utilities to use USB keyboards and mice, so those programs think they are working with the older PS/2 keyboards and mice there were designed to work with. Sometimes the legacy option will provide a similar mapping for USB floppy drives, hard drives, and such.
Usually you can leave it off unless you are trying to boot into something and your keyboard or mouse isn't working. It's quite pointless for Windows XP or later.
It would help if you gave more context to the phrase.
One answer could be the removal of support for technologies considered these days to be "legacy": no PS/2 ports, no serial or parallel ports, no floppy-drive controller, no ISA bus, etc.
Another answer could be that the BIOS is based on the UEFI spec, and not the proprietary BIOS implementations that were reverse-engineered from the original IBM PC.

High Blood Pressure; Hypertension/High Blood Pressure
Pre-eclampsia (previously called toxemia) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. It is said to exist when a pregnant woman with gestational hypertension develops proteinuria. Originally, edema was considered part of the syndrome of pre-eclampsia, but presently the former two symptoms are sufficient for a diagnosis of pre-eclampsia.
High blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. Both numbers are important. Nearly one in three American adults has high blood pressure. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime. The good news is that it can be treated and controlled. High blood pressure is called "the silent killer" because it usually has no symptoms. Some people may not find out they have it until they have trouble with their heart, brain, or kidneys.

LSF Revan - The DS Mode, granted, does better than ep 3 in showing just what DS means. Let's NOT cut away when the kid gets slaughtered. You picked the option, deal with it. Also, over half your party winds up dead.
Still, LS has a better story and stronger character arcs. The crew are moral, honorable, and strong folk with lines they refuse to cross. Even the "DS" Canderous is operating from a strict code of morality and honor. HK is the exception, and he's just built for gleeful malice. The ending is an homage to where it all began - Episode 4 - and there's this sense of things coming full circle. From hero to villian, and working your way back with the help of good people.
Female, I include for other reasons. There were quite a few things on that game that were just not present if you played male, and the Bastila romance didn't do much for me.
DSM Exile - With the exception of Kreia, who stands ground no matter what alignment you choose, Exile's crew were wavering and easily led with a dangerous and exploitable vulnerability (untapped FS). All the better to play someone loading up the one-way bus to hell and taking on as many passengers as possible. K2 was, in every way, a darker and nihilistic game. Nothing you did really mattered - it all came to the same place. Unlike the repentant LS Revan, a DS Exile could have did what he did and had zero remorse...later turning to pride, taking down the other two. The cut content tends to point further to this - with Atton fighting Mical (female) or Brianna fighting Visas (male).
Male? What cinched it was Kreia's world-class creepy line comparing the "virtues" of the women aboard, Atris's barely restrained jealousy, and the Handmaiden. Brianna gets the closest thing anyone on that game gets to a full, demonstrated character arc. She goes from the shunned, "least" of the sisters into the one who is able to defeat them all.

Number 4!
The falcons at Riverfront Plaza in Richmond continue to surprise. On Sunday May 31st, at about 3:30 pm a fourth egg was noted by camera viewers. This should be the last egg of the clutch as nests with more then four eggs are unusual.
Spiders have again begun to weave webs across the protective dome that houses the camera. At times the strong morning sunlight glares strongly off these webs, causing the camera's auto-focus to focus on the webs as opposed to the nest. Adjustments have been made to the camera which will hopefully minimize this problem
Peregrine falcons incubate for 33-35 days. Pinpointing exactly when incubation began for this clutch is somewhat tricky, as even after the third egg was laid incubation during the day was not consistent, possibly due to warmer temperatures for this relatively late nesting attempt. We can state that the the eggs will be expected to hatch at the very end of June or the beginning of July.

It was a great day for a spring criterium. Weather can be so unpredictable in the spring but yesterday with sun and temperatures in the low 70s it was a great day for a bike race. The venue was the CU Research Park just east of the CU campus. I was there for end of the Mens 3 and the Men Pro-1-2 race. The field sizes were decent for being such and early season race.

Yesterday, on the 28th of June this year, Premier Colin Barnett announced a dramatic cabinet reshuffle following Christian Porter's resignation.
Troy Buswell, who has his share of controversy (affair with Adele Carles, former Greens MP and chair sniffing of women's chairs), has returned to his former position as Treasurer.
"Police Minister Rob Johnson has been dumped after several gaffes, while Education Minister Liz Constable retires."
Scarborough MLA Liza Harvey takes over Rob Johnson as Police Minister, whereas 'Murray-Wellington MLA Murray Cowper, a former policeman who becomes Minister for Training and Workforce Development and Corrective Services, and North Metropolitan Region MLC Michael Mischin, a lawyer, who becomes the state's new Attorney-General'
'Peter Collier retains the energy portfolio and takes on education'.
'Deputy Premier Kim Hames will become Leader of the House in the Legislative Assembly, while three new faces become parliamentary secretaries – Mike Nahan, Joe Francis and Albert Jacob'.
The Opposition has labelled the cabinet reshuffle as desperation: See http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-28/opposition-reactions-to-wa-cabinet-reshuffle/4098860?section=wa
Realistically, some of these people in new positions deserve them, and it may not be entirely desperation. Mike Nahan is an economist, and if I am not wrong, a former academic. He was once an IPA policy director, its due time he received recognition in Parliament.
Michael Mischin is more accomplished than Christian Porter. Liza Harvey, despite certain failings of youth; is probably popular by my guess for pushing what needs to be done. I have heard that she regularly helps people with problems with the WA State Department of Enviroment and Conservation, and also helping a certain individual pushing for environmental law reform- to actually reflect reality, lets call him 'BC', he has probably come to her for help before.

This book is an experiment on inspiration. The photographs have inspired the poem. The photos were assembled in a random manner, based on feeling and aesthetic alone, then the words came out of the naming of each photo. The verbalization of aesthetic.
my Goal is to use my life experience to teach me about myself and my role on the earth. My photographs serve the purpose of illuminating things about myself and, hopefully, help others of like frequencies to see similar things in themselves. I am grateful when I am allowed the chance to connect to that power in me and manifest it. Ride the wave. -RandyK

Security Practices
Joshua Ebarvia has a point about security practices in the June 2009 Letters section, and I'm disappointed with the response. I think LM could do more to decrease the confusion among non-experts in this matter. Please consider the following questions:
"There has not yet been a single widespread Linux malware threat of the type that Windows software currently faces." (Wikipedia). Then, why do I see almost daily a warning to upload security patches?
Security precaution depends on the kind of computer work. To be specific, is it wise to shut down Internet connection when working as root? Or working with WINE? What is needed to be sure that financial transactions are secure, in particular when using wireless connection?
Looking at the flickering LEDs of my Internet adapter (modem) I get the impression that I'm out of control of data traffic. Most Window users long ago gave up to be in control of their PC, but Linux should not have to be so passive. Why can I not start a program that tells me what kind of data go in and out and enables me to stop unwanted traffic? Of course this interrupts computer work and should be used only to take test samples.
Robert Best
We take security seriously, and we try to cover it often. Recent issues of our magazine have discussed topics such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, and one-time passwords. Our February 2009 issue included an article on some best practices for wireless connections. Although we offer lots of useful information for beginners, a magazine by nature is not structured like a HowTo document or an online Help page. If you are new to Linux, you might occasionally need to do some background reading to understand the underlying concepts. The INFO box included with many of our articles can help find resources.
Although Linux is well protected against viruses, worms, and other forms of the file and email threats known as malware, Linux systems are still vulnerable to network attack. The problems addressed in security updates typically relate to vulnerabilities in legitimate software, as opposed to malware programs, which are designed with the specific intent of breaking in or doing damage.
Several tools exist for controlling and monitoring network traffic, and those are exactly the kinds of tools we like to talk about. They do, however, tend to be advanced applications for experienced users. For instance, last month we had articles on the Portsmith authenticating firewall and the OSSEC intrusion detection tool.
The first issue of our new sister publication, Ubuntu User, is on newsstands now and includes an extensive Discovery Guide section for beginning users. Although the discussion focuses on Ubuntu, many of the topics discussed in the Discovery Guide are also applicable to other Linux systems.
Linux for Business
I'm starting up a business in maintenance services for industries and commercial buildings and I want to use state-of-the-art information technology based on Linux. But I have some questions that will help me decide whether I go for Linux or the other thing.
First, I depend on a few programs like SAP financial, an asset monitoring system named Datastream, and my maintenance technicians must use mini laptops in the field to make reports that are sent to base. All these applications are Windows based. Are there substitutes, or can I work with these applications in a Linux environment?

It Is Good To Get Away Every Once In Awhile, Especially To Disney
February 11, 2013 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Jen's Journal, Orlando
The title says it all. Everyone needs time away, either alone or with your spouse. And that is exactly what my husband and I did two weekends ago, thanks to our son Josh. For our Christmas present last year he got us a two night stay at the beautiful Disney Caribbean Beach Resort (see previous post on this beautiful property). We decided to use it for an early Valentine's Day adventure, just the two of us, alone. It was a much needed break and so much fun!
We started the weekend off on Friday first checking into the hotel and then hopping a bus to Animal Kingdom where we spent most of our time in Africa on the safari and just hanging out at the Dawa Bar sipping on a beer, listening to the music of a nearby show and just talking, about us, our future and our love. I love those times with my husband. We usually do pretty much the same thing on Saturdays but there is an added magical touch being surrounded by Disney. After a few hours we headed back to the hotel to get freshened up for Downtown Disney and Splitsville, a place we have both been looking forward to checking out.
Splitsville is amazing! It is a two story bowling alley (really it is more than a bowling alley, so much to do) and we were taken upstairs to or own little lane with a great booth. Now neither one of us has bowled in over twenty years and while we had a blast doing so I was hurting the next day. I somehow managed to slide rolling the ball and pulled a muscle in my butt! Yep, leave it to me to hurt myself in the oddest places. But we really did have a great time. The place is really amazing and I really hope it sticks around for a long time. My husband had the calamari and he absolutely loved it, said it was the best he ever had! There was only one thing that I was surprised at. The waitress was waiting at the end of our lane and the second the timer ran out on our bowling time she came over and gave us our bill. I was kind of confused because I was waiting for her to say that we could move to another table and continue eating and drinking but she didn't, she made me feel rushed out, so we left to have dinner at House of Blues, which royally sucked! The food was horrible, the service was worse and we left wishing we had just stayed at Splitsville.
We headed back to the resort early and got a few drinks at the bar while enjoying a movie shown at night in the courtyard. I sat back and was once again amazed by just how awesome Disney is. I fell asleep that night very peacefully, something I have not done in a long time.
The next day we were headed to Hollywood Studios and Epcot and the day turned out to be very nice, with a few new surprises thrown in. We caught the Disney bus to Hollywood Studios and wandered around for awhile. We took in the new Captain Jack Sparrow show, which was new to us. Then we headed for some rides before we decided to head to Epcot. Now this may sound weird to some who knew this but we experienced something we hadn't before. We were able to walk from Hollywood Studios to Epcot and it only took us 20 minutes. All these years of living here, and practically living at the Disney theme parks I never knew you could do this. It was wonderful, we walked a lot this day and the added walk through parts of the area we hadn't seen before was really nice!
We arrived at Epcot with a few places in mind to check out and pick up some items. I wanted to refresh my candy stock from Germany and pick up some things for our girls so we walked around the World Showcase quite a few times. That is when we decided to really check out the Japan pavilion and we were in for our next surprise. See we always just walk past Japan, never really stopping for more than just listening to the drummers when they are out, which by the way are phenomenal. But this time we headed back farther and found heaven. Okay, not exactly heaven but Nintendo and Hayao Miyazaki are close enough. And we never knew this store existed. We were like kids in a candy store picking up things and saying we want them. From Zelda backpacks to some of my favorite Pokémon and Miyazaki pictures I couldn't decide what to get at that time and what to save for my next trip. I could seriously go broke in there. We were loving it and said it will always be a stop on our itinerary when we go to Epcot.
We ended our day at the amazing Mexico pavilion with a few drinks at La Cava del Tequila (their Sangria is amazing!) while waiting for our dinner reservation at the San Angel Inn Restaurante. This restaurant is both my husband and my favorite in Epcot. Not only does it hold a special meaning to us from some of our first meals while we were dating but it continues to be our go to place to really sit back and relax and enjoy not only our surrounding but each others company. And the food is perfect! My Carne Asada was so delicious and I cleaned my plate! Goes great with Sangria too. We were stuffed when we left and once back to the hotel we talked about what an amazing time we had and how much fun Disney can be with no kids.
This much needed escape was so worth it and will last for a bit, but I am already planning our next adults only visit to our favorite place! Disney is so good for making memories and we intend to make many, many more!

Country superstar Jason Aldean and the boys from Florida Georgia Line were the perfect combination as they took turns rocking the crowd of around 17,000 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday January 17, 2014. Tyler Farr attempted to get things started, but was unable to get them 'Redneck Crazy' and was no match against the Florida Georgia Line stampede that followed.
These guys are on fire and it shows with their intense high energy show. Not only was their energy through the roof, but Tyler Hubbard and pal Brian Kelley had this crowd in an absolute trance, as the crowd seemed to imitate everything the platinum duo did. FGL brought the house down with a very theatrical light show that may have made press photographers stop and stare at their lit up set.
Jason Aldean followed the duo and he did not disappoint the Macon Georgia native literally roared through all the crowd favorites, complete with a life size hologram of Kelly Clarkson, during 'Don't You Wanna Stay.' The Night Train Tour may have shoved off a little after midnight, but fans were singing 'Cruise' and 'When She Says Baby' and other FGL and Aldean songs into the early hours of the morning.

SOUTH AMHERST — A bright red T-shirt hanging above the cashier's counter at Piggy's Main Street Market boasts that it is in beautiful downtown South Amherst, a town so small the convenience store also doubles as a movie rental business, where copies of new releases rent for $2.79 a night.
After this weekend, though, when up to 15,000 hardcore athletes will test their agility and mental fortitude during the Tough Mudder competition, Piggy's may have to change its slogan to let people know it's not only OK to get down and dirty in South Amherst, it is also encouraged.
But before owner Michelle Henke heads to the printer's for new shirts, she and others in the small village of 683 homes, 10 businesses, six churches and fewer than 2,000 residents will have to get through the weekend.
Click any image to view larger.
"The Tough Mudder builders have been over at the quarry setting up for weeks, and one guy walked into here a while back, took one look around and just said, 'You need more stuff,' " Henke said, standing in her store already stocked with chips, pop, bread, milk and other items. "So I'm going to be ready with more Gatorade, Powerade, bottled water and food that can be microwaved. We will have extra people, too. Everyone who works here wants to be here. The race is pretty intense stuff from what I hear, so we'll have whatever (participants) need."
Intense may be an understatement.
The competition includes wading through cold and muddy water, climbing monkey bars, crawling through tunnels and dodging electrically charged wires that can give participants a high-voltage jolt. The obstacles have descriptions like "Kiss of Mud: Eat dirt as you crawl on your belly under wires set only eight inches from the ground" and "Boa Constrictor: Crawl through a series of pipes that may force you into freezing, muddy water."
"We have never had anything like this in South Amherst," Henke said. "I mean, there is the flea market down the road that draws a pretty good-sized crowd, and then there is the Lorain County Speedway, but we don't see big crowds around here."
In less than four days, the population of the town — so small the sole pizza shop opens only for dinner — will temporarily multiply exponentially. Understandably, the mood in town Tuesday was a mix of nervousness and excitement.
"I don't know how I feel. Ask me on Monday," Mayor Barbara Becker said. "I think we have everything in place, and hopefully everything goes off without a hitch."
In the months since the Buckeye Quarry along state Route 113 and North Quarry Road was chosen to be the site of the Tough Mudder competition, Becker said hundreds of hours of thought and planning have gone into making sure the event does not disrupt the town too much.
Participants are being told to park at the old Lorain Ford plant on Baumhart Road, and a shuttle service will bring folks to South Amherst. The school and sports groups in town have been told not to schedule events during the weekend.
But Becker said people do want to partake in the fun.
East of Chicago pizza will open at 11 a.m. The ice cream stand in town hasn't even opened for the season, but the owner will set up a food trailer to sell sandwiches.
"Everyone in the area is having a rummage sale of some sort," Becker said. "This isn't going to cost the town money because Tough Mudder is paying for police and fire services, but I think the people in town will make some money."
Barb Bickel, Visit Lorain County executive director, said no economic impact studies have been done on the event, but local hotels and motels are expected to be booked and businesses in previous host cities have seen a "significant impact," which goes beyond tourism spending.
"I think this is going to be really good for the town," said 59-year-old David Schiazzano, whose home on West Main Street backs up to the quarry. "I love it. I'm an athlete myself. I mean, I'm too old to compete in anything like this, but maybe 10 or 15 years ago, I would have given it a shot."
Schiazzano has watched with interest the setup at the quarry from his backyard. White tents have been erected in recent days as crews work to be ready for participants.
"People all over the place will know where South Amherst is after this," he said.
That's exactly what Becker hopes, particularly since news reports from Cleveland mistakenly said the event was taking place in Amherst, a larger town than South Amherst, albeit still a small town.
"We are South Amherst," she said. "We are small, but we are mighty."
Traffic change
Quarry Road will be closed to traffic from Middle Ridge Road south to state Route 113 beginning at
5 a.m. Saturday. The road will reopen Sunday evening.

What non-parametric methods exist to assess whether two random samples belong to the same distribution?

It depends, how do you want to define similarity of distributions? Same location, same spread (variance), same skewness/kurtosis, combinations of these, or just "differences"?
Non-parametric methods like the Mann-Whitney U test (Wilcoxon rank sum test) test the hypothesis that the two samples' distributions come from populations having the same location (the alternative hypothesis being that the two samples come from populations with different locations, e.g. one distribution has larger values than the other). In R, see
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test considers differences in the distributions per se (so is sensitive to differences in location, variance, skewness, etc) of the two candidate distributions. In R, see

I am hoping to get a post up soon to tell you all more about the People's Summit, but until then, I wanted to share a story from one of our supporting churches, First United Church of Oak Park. They have been an amazing partner for Colombia in terms of advocacy, accompaniment, financial support, education, and more. Thanks y'all. You are indeed an inspiration. **** "You are an inspiration to me." Those words were about the last thing I expected to hear when a group of us from First United Church met with Joseph, a legislative aid to U.S. Rep. Danny Davis in Washington, DC. We were there for Ecumenical Advocacy Days, and we had 30 minutes in the Congressman's office to talk about issues related to a fair federal budget and human rights issues in Latin America. I began by saying we were there to preach the good news of Jesus Christ, who proclaimed liberation for those who are oppressed and poor. Secondly, we were there as constituents who VOTE and citizens of the republic. Thirdly, we were there as friends and companions to our partners in the Presbyterian Church of Colombia. Joseph's eyes got kind of wide when I started talking about Jesus. Maybe people in Washington aren't used to that kind of talk . . . at least when it is connected to justice and love for people in other countries. And he really paid attention when Mahala and Laurand, two of our youth delegates, began to articulate the issues. Five million people in Colombia have been displaced. Their rights to restitution are difficult to claim. Labor leaders are subject to harassment and assassination. U.S. military and police presence contributes to violence. We asked the Congressman to use his power to influence American involvement in Colombia, to support development aid rather than weapons. We asked for enforcement of labor protections prior to the implementation of the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. We asked for the U.S. to monitor treatment of those who have been displaced from their homes and lands. And by the end of our visit, he turned to us and said, "You all are an inspiration to me!" Rep. Davis signed a Dear Colleague letter that we asked him to endorse. Sometimes God's work happens in surprising ways. I was glad our presence made Joseph's day. May he -- and all public servants -- be inspired to continue working for liberty and justice for all. Rev. Dr. Julie R. Harley
Daily Violence
Quick - what is the most violent country in the world? Hmmm... not sure, but it would have to be a war zone, right? Afghanistan? Maybe Iraq? What if I told you it was Honduras? Followed quickly by El Salvador and then Venezuela. Honduras' murder rate, expressed as the number of murders reported per 100,000 in population, ranks at 86 / 100,000. El Salvador and Venezuela's rates are 75 and 65 / 100,000. In fact, Latin America as a whole, and Central America in particular, virtually owns the title of the world's most violent countries, with a regional average four times the worldwide average. (from Bloggings by Boz) Here are the numbers for 2011:
- Honduras 86 / 100,000 (increase of 15%)
- El Salvador 75
- Venezuela 65
- Guatemala 36
- Colombia 30 (lowest in 35 years)
- Brazil 26
*********I find these numbers illuminating for several reasons. First, I think that most average readers of the news in the US would assume that the majority of violent deaths in the world occur 'over there', i.e. in far away places, rather than in the countries and cities of our shared border and continent. Second, following the US media's focus on the increasing drug violence in Mexico, I imagine no one would guess that Mexico is far behind the levels of violence in much of neighboring Central America. Certainly the violence in the high trafficking zones is real and critical, but it only matches the larger and wider problems of systemically astounding and morally disastrous levels of violence throughout the region. I do not believe it is only a casual association that these same high-violence countries are among the most unequal in distribution of wealth, nor that they are susceptible to the corrosion that the US drug trade brings with it. And while these damning statistics represent very complex underlying problems in these countries, it is the task of every thinking and faithful person to look at how we can be a part of changing these realities. US policy, through trade, drug and military relations, are very real parts of this story. In the coming months, I hope we can connect how these elements of US policy and society directly relate to the levels of regularized violence that permeate the region.
What is going on in Colombia?
We are often asked - so things are better in Colombia, right? It is always a hard question to answer - see Which Story? from Tuesday - but in the past two months, it has been even more complicated. After entering office with high hopes, and with some very positive steps toward seeking some form of justice for the millions of Colombians who have suffered in this country's violent conflict, recent steps by the Santos administration have called much of that progress into sharp question. Adam Isacson has an excellent analysis here. It is a comprehensive look at events from the past year. It begins with an analysis of a major change the Colombian government is considering in its military justice system - a change that is widely considered to significantly weaken Colombia's fledgling attempts to hold some form of civilian control and accountability over the armed forces. On top of that, the Colombian government has taken several public positions against human rights workers and the persons they represent. The first was a case being investigated about a famous massacre in the small town of Mapiripán, and following that was a case against a group of displaced persons in Las Pavas. Both cases are complicated, as these cases always are, but in both cases the government has gone out of its way to condemn and question the whole of the human rights community and of displaced persons working for restitution. Together they paint a very troubling picture. Isacson concludes that "the human rights counteroffensive appears to be an ill-advised attempt to appease radicalized sectors of the military." He also notes that the timing of these efforts is notable - coming just off the heels of the US Congress' approval of the Colombia - US Free Trade Agreement. In other words, the world's attention is now off of Colombia, so efforts here on human rights protection, even if it only seemed a window dressing, can now be put by the wayside. These questions of the government's support of human rights is of critical concern in Colombia in these days, especially considering the importance of a recent law to restore land to the millions of displaced persons here. A major obstacle to this process is the violence leaders of persons returning to their land have faced, and will continue to face, without the government strongly guaranteeing their safety. What is our response as people of faith? Our partners in the IPC have been watching and discussing these events with great concern. The issue of land restoration and the safety of those involved are the top priorities for the IPC in the coming year. In the face of these growing storm clouds, our partners in the IPC offer two responses. The first is not to lose heart. While the hope that their government may have turned a corner and could be actively working to protect and defend the majority of the Colombian people may be badly battered and flickering, it is not extinguished. Because our hope is not in any government's action or inaction, but in the movement of the Spirit which is always seeking ways to instigate peace and foster new life and nurture wholeness. The second response is to get busy. Through years of working on the issues of justice and full life for all people, the IPC knows that it takes all of us - both here in Colombia and the thousands of partners and accompaniers and readers in the United States to affect the change needed here. We can let our representatives know that the eyes of the world do still indeed care about the state of human rights in Colombia. We can still write to the State Department to stop its human rights certifications that will be hollowed out by this change in Colombia's justice system. We can continue in our solidarity and accompaniment of the people of the IPC and all displaced Colombians, showing that they are not alone, that their sisters and brothers in faith are alongside them as a tangible sign of the living God's presence with them. So we pray. And hope. And act.

Thinking Big
Some interesting links from around the web on some of the '30,000 feet subject's' that are often neglected when we think about our work in this world...
- One of my favorite development bloggers takes a look at where religion and development work intersect. It shows how far our sides have drifted apart - he seems to be writing about making the first tentative steps toward an alien race - but historically and on the ground, Development NGO's, people's organizations, and religious bodies have long been steadfast partners.
- What? The world's largest escalator in one of our favorite cities? Medellin rocks! (like the MetroCables, this escalator serves some of the cities most isolated and impoverished neighborhoods. Medellin has a world-class system of public voting on development projects, and this escalator is a prime example of how people want to improve their neighborhoods.)

Warehouse shopping has arrived in Colombia. On Saturday Peanut and I went with some friends to see the newest store in town - PriceSmart. I had never heard of it before, but it has evidently been around since the 1990s. At one point it was Price Costco, but Price Enterprises spun off and now we have this little piece of the USA right here in Colombia. According to their first annual report in 1998, PriceSmart says:
"Our business strategy is simple. Grow the international membership merchandising business in markets that (i) are receptive to U.S. quality goods and services and (ii) permit majority foreign ownership in the retail sector. It is our belief that an equity model, where PriceSmart employees control the management of the stores, will provide more long-term, substantial earnings to our stockholders."So far these receptive markets are basically in Latin America with stores in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Aruba, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and the Virgin Islands. Their first store in Colombia is right here in Barranquilla (don't know how we managed that), but with the passage of the Free Trade Agreement, I bet more will be coming. My commentary on the arrival of this store is really just a personal one. It is weird. In some ways it is nice to have something so very familiar right in your town. I know how warehouse stores work. I know that I will never buy ketchup or mayonnaise there because I would not be able to eat it in such quantity in three years. I know you have to have a membership or be accompanied by a member. I know there will be fresh food, clothing, office supplies, electronics, and patio furniture all under one roof. Still, seeing little frozen eclairs or (huge) bottles of relish - neither of which my friend could even identify as food - was just odd. I was thrilled to see Cheddar Cheese (at $14 a pop we will indeed just be looking at it), and there were rumors of Reeses Cups (though we did not find them), but so many of the products had all English labeling that I had to explain a number of times what an item was and what one might use it for. Having lived in the United States for a brief time, another friend commented that she thought it even smelled like the US in the store, and while I didn't have such a reaction, upon leaving it was like coming out of a movie and remembering "Oh right, I am in Colombia." I think that just as "big box stores" have made every place in the United States feel familiar in ways that are good and disturbing, this is that feeling on an international scale. There is bulk Postobon (a Colombian soft drink), but it is still not the same as when you get it at the tienda. I get excited about things like pecans or goldfish crackers, but I also walk away with the grime of empire trailed by the smell of conspicuous consumption. So like I said, it was weird. If I figure out how to say that better, I'll get back to you.
Weekly Links – October 13, 2011
We are a little down today with the passage of the Colombia Free Trade Agreement last night. (See statement from our colleagues at the PresbyPeace Fellowship.) Thankfully a good friend is celebrating a birthday today, and a cool breeze is alight in Barranquilla. I heard this reflection on the effect of God in our lives, and thought it would be good to share... Rabbi David Hartman - Opening Up Windows from On Being, NPR's Conversation on faith
I don't know what God is - the being of God - but I do know God is a shattering experience. It opens you up to the world, it takes you out of your narcissistic ego trip - and says look, see the other; show strength through compassion, through love, not through violence.And now for a collection of some of the interesting news from Colombia in the past weeks:
- Adam Isacson has a rundown of the most recent coca estimates here. It is always good to remember a) these things aren't a perfect science - they never add up and b) the coca is still flowing, and will flow as long as the US and Europe keep buying (remember high school economics?).
- Lisa Hauggaard has a good look at the facts to come out of the State Department's Certification Document here. The question is clear - with all of these serious problems known and public - why do we certify?
- What will the recently passed US-Colombia Free Trade Agreement bring? (from Colombia Reports)
- Also on the FTA - an embarrassing walk-back from Colombia's Agriculture Minister, who spoke about the negative impacts of the FTA, particularly for Colombia's small farmers, and then quickly reversed course on the downsides. Must have gotten quite a reprimand...(from Colombia Reports)
The agricultural minister went on to say that 70% of food production in Colombia is done by small producers, and those are the ones who need the most protection but also said that the Ministry "is pleased that the FTA [will] be approved." That "but" is carrying a lot of weight...
- The LA Times has a good look at the type of violence so prevalent here in Colombia. They visited San Onofre up here on the Caribbean coast - a place that the IPC is increasingly involved in accompanying. Worth a read.
- On a different note - in The Alantic - Ike DeLorenzo describes his culinary journey to Colombia, catching quite a bit of the best of Colombian food I've known. As groups that have come will all attest, I love showing off Colombia's great fruits and dishes!
- A quirky look a where a culture of violence will take you - bullet proof fashions in Bogota (from The World)
- From a while back - a good look at Colombia's flower export business, which you almost certainly see in your flower section. A wonderful look at the beauty and the pain of this industry. (from The Smithsonian)
What Wedenesday Means
We've talked a lot about the Free Trade Agreement here on the blog. And yes, we know the risks of being a one note band. And yes, we have often thought the vote was just around the corner. But we have not changed our minds - this is still a bad deal. Bad for our partners here; bad for the majority of Colombians in rural areas. But more than that, these types of trade agreements - which will serve to further advance the huge inequities in wealth and power - are bad for everyone in the long run. We all prosper when growth is shared and expanded rather than saved and hoarded. The US will benefit from a more democratic and more just Colombia, just as Colombia will benefit from US lawmakers looking at the long term costs and weaknesses this trade agreement will amplify. And tomorrow, Wednesday, this trade agreement will come up for vote. It is a part of a package of three deals - Colombia, Panama and South Korea - and a program to provide aid to US workers who lose their jobs due to the shifts brought on by these trade deals. While all of the trade deals have their issues, the deal with Colombia is what we know, and so we ask that you too raise your voice against this deal. Below are links to ways to call, email, or fax your representative and senators. There are also other links - closing arguments, if you will, on the case of what kind of future we want to create. Time is of the essence. We encourage you to speak out now. Call Congress. Email Congress. Resources for Presbyterians. Colombia FTA letter - RW & MB Lisa Haugaard has a summary of the problems with the Colombia deal - well worth a read, but here are some highlights: (from Huffington Post)
First, the slaughter of trade unionists in Colombia is far from over. More trade unionists were killed last year in Colombia than in the rest of the world combined -- see this chart, if the words alone do not resonate... Something is deeply wrong when a country leads the world in murders of people who exercise their freedom to organize. Second, the trade agreement will devastate poor farmers who have borne the brunt of the country's brutal conflict. These farm families who have lost husbands, sons and daughters -- and barely eke out a living as it is -- will lose even more... We should care about these families because they have suffered so much already. But we should also care because undercutting their livelihoods would push farmers back into coca production, the raw material for cocaine. U.S. taxpayers have already paid the tab on some $8 billion in aid to Colombia, supposedly with the aim of fighting illegal drugs. Third, the trade agreement will escalate the kinds of investment that are most associated with violence. You may have heard about the campaign against conflict diamonds. Colombia has conflict gold, conflict coal, conflict oil, conflict cattle ranching, conflict ports, conflict dams and conflict African palm plantations for biofuel... Unless paramilitary and other criminal networks are dismantled before the deal is sealed, the FTA will escalate the violence.We have a brief moment to stop this step in the wrong direction. May we all act.
Colombia Free Trade Agreement
Word on the wires is that the Colombia Free Trade Agreement may be submitted soon, as early as Monday, for Congressional approval. I thought it might be a good to time to post our letter outlining our particular reasons for opposition to this agreement. Perhaps you can share it with your Congress person.... (PDF version here Colombia FTA letter - RW & MB), IPC statement about the Agreement here (IPC - Letter against the FTA)
August 17, 2011Honorable Member of Congress: First, we want to thank you for your service to our country and its citizens, and indeed to your service to people everywhere who continue to look to the United States as a beacon of hope, justice, and freedom. We write to you from Barranquilla, Colombia, where we live and serve as Mission Co-Workers with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and our partner church here, the Iglesia Presbiteriana de Colombia. We want to share with you some of our observations from living and working here amongst a Presbyterian church that seeks to follow God's call to serve the good of all people, especially those far from the centers of power. We are writing to urge you to vote against the passage of the Colombia Free Trade Agreement as it is currently written. Our churches, here in Colombia and in the United States, have long worked for trade between countries that serves the good of all people, rather than only a select few. The proposed Colombia Free Trade Agreement, as it is currently written, falls short of the basic principle of fairness for all, and thus as a church we cannot support its passage. There are many reasons for this agreement's shortcomings: the destructive effects on the Colombian environment, the weak protections for Colombia's threatened indigenous peoples and Afro-descendent population, and the threats and violence against Colombian trade unionists. Conversely, there are other negative impacts for US workers and manufacturing. These weaknesses in the current agreement have been well covered by other groups. We want to focus, however, on the destructive effects that this agreement will have on the average Colombian small-scale farmer and how that will have negative consequences for the well-being of US citizens in your district. Small-scale farmers in Colombia make up the majority of the rural population, most existing at a subsistence level or just a step above. They usually farm small plots of land, often with few legal guarantees, harvesting staple crops such as corn, rice, sugar, and other native consumables. Their existence is precarious, depending greatly on market prices, weather, and other forces of nature, to say nothing of the myriad of violence and social conflicts that are particular to the Colombian context. The introduction of US agricultural staples such as corn, rice and sugar, which are all subsidized and produced at much lower costs in the United States than is possible in Colombia will have a highly detrimental effect on the majority of rural Colombians, effectively eliminating the livelihoods of many of these farmers. For that reason alone, this trade agreement is flawed. There are, however, much deeper implications to this drastic reduction of the Colombian rural economy. For years, the United States has worked to decrease the amount of coca that is grown in Colombia, mostly through the aid package of Plan Colombia. Particularly through the social aid in the package, which Congress has emphasized in recent years, the US government, through USAID, has striven to reduce the incentives to small scale farmers for growing coca. We have learned that the only effective programs to reduce coca is by offering small scale farmers other viable options to provide for their families. Through smart and targeted programs we are finally seeing results, and the amount of coca being grown in recent years has begun to decline. These gains are tentative, and the wide- scale introduction of US subsidized crops will obliterate them since the destruction of the rural economy here will effectively make the illicit coca trade the only viable alternative to thousands of small Colombian farmers. We will have worked for the past ten years only to reverse course overnight. Many members of our partner church are these small scale farmers. In our time living with and working among them, we know that they are not the ones who will turn to growing coca to provide for their families. But we also know that given that choice – to grow coca and feed your family, or watch them perish – thousands of other campesinos will turn to coca. That coca will bring with it many tremendous negative consequences as it travels to the United States. We are seeing the impacts on cocaine's trafficking in South and Central America. We know its impacts on the streets of the United States. Those consequences touch all of us through addiction, violence, and the destruction wrought by the drug trade. There are many parts to the drug problem, but it starts with a small, poor farmer deciding how to feed his family here in Colombia. We have a chance to change that decision. We urge you to consider these implications in your deliberations. We understand fully that trade agreements are complex instruments, with many benefits and costs. That is only amplified in Washington's current climate surrounding these trade deals. However, the high costs to the rural Colombians we know and work with form the moral case against this particular agreement; and the significant setback to US interests in working against the spread of the coca trade form the logical case against the agreement. We pray that together, you will find them compelling reasons to vote no to the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Blessings, Rev. Richard Williams and Rev. Mamie Broadhurst Mission Co-Workers, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Barranquilla, Colombia
Colombian Catchup – Links
So while we have been radio silent, news from Colombia certainly hasn't... Here's a collection of the most interesting news I've seen...
- An excellent article focusing on the climate of fear around those seeking to reclaim land stolen from them during Colombia's violent conflict. The authors visited several communities that the North Coast Presbytery has been accompanying for the past year. (Leaders of Colombia's Landless in New Peril - from The Miami Herald) (See my earlier reflection on visiting San Onofre and a recent article about the church's involvement here)
- Elizabeth Dickinson, writing in The Atlantic, uncovers many of the most pressing problems with Colombia's new improved violence statistics. The murder rates may be down, but the violence has not gone away, it has just morphed... Buenaventura is on the Pacific coast and far from our area of knowledge, but these same patterns are evident in the areas where the church is active and present... (Colombia's Invisible War)
- Here is a best case scenario from PRI's The World... Interviews with Goverment and USAID people, presenting what they hope for the new Victim's Law. (PRI's Colombian Farmers Regain Land)
- Just how much land was stolen in Colombia? About 10% of the whole country... (from Colombia Reports)
- What might increase from the Colombia Free Trade agreement? Cocaine... (from Jess Hunter-Bowman, Witness for Peace)
- Just a good number to remember about Colombia - particularly as we discuss an "even playing field" for the Free Trade Agreement : "The latest figures... show that in 2009, 45.5% of the population, some 19.8 million people, find themselves in poverty. The same figures illustrate that 16.4%, or 7.1 million, live in extreme poverty or indigence." (from Colombia Reports)
- NPR has a nice piece on Colombian cycling... You didn't think it was all poverty, politics and power here did you?
- In The Guardian, a good article looking at small scale agriculture and it's long term implications - Agriculture, the Food Crisis, and the Environment
- A final image showing the changing landscape of world poverty:
Breaking the Fast
[caption id="attachment_2135" align="alignright" width="258" caption="Banner from Colegio Nazareth for Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia, 2011"][/caption] Sunday was the last day for the ayuno, or fast, that Mamie and I participated in last week. We joined people in the United States and Colombia for this fast - an ancient tradition in the Jewish and Christian traditions - as a sign of protest, lament, and hope. So how does a week of fasting bring about protest, lament, and hope? The Hebrew prophet Isaiah wrote of the type of fast that God chooses in a time of crisis for the Hebrew people, and it is a clear call to us today:
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin?Just preceding that passage, there are clear warnings about what type of sanctified religious displays are the opposite of God's desires, and a warning for all of us fasting this past week:
"Why do we fast, but you do not see? Why humble ourselves, but you do not notice?" Look, you serve your own interest on your fast day, and oppress all your workers. Look, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to strike with a wicked fist. Such fasting as you do today will not make your voice heard on high. Is such the fast that I choose, a day to humble oneself? Is it to bow down the head like a bulrush, and to lie in sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the Lord? (Isaiah 58)So do I feel like we loosed the bonds of injustice this past week? Undid the thongs of the yoke? Let the oppressed go free? Shared bread or clothed the naked? Or instead, did we serve our individual interests, continue in the oppression of others, or fail to be humble in this fast... If the measure of a fast is to have stopped the Colombia/US Free Trade agreement, or to have taken the reigns of the debate in Congress, then we certainly did not accomplish that. Yet, I also think those goals would fall more in line with the second text from above, the ways that we humans can misinterpret sacred actions like fasting. Instead, I pray and hope this fast had a different but deeper impact; I am changed for it, and changed for good. After a week of sunup to sundown fasting, I can say that it is very much an exercise of patience and deliberateness. For me there were no revelations, no in-breakings of the Spirit - only the constancy of my hunger. The dull ache of lack that I so often literally quench. But not this past week. This past week that hunger, that lack, was a holy symbol of God's hunger. God's hunger for justice and dignity for all of God's beloved creations. Fasting is not an exercise to force something outside to happen as much as it is to steel your resolve, to examine deeply your commitments, and to fuel the simmering fire for justice that is somewhere in all of us. Many of our readers joined us in fasting, and even more joined us in calling into the White House to voice opposition to the harmful elements of this agreement (and it is not too late for you to call...). I am hopeful about the political impact of this witness. It is important for people who know some of the deeper impacts of these trade agreements to raise their voice in opposition. And thanks be to God, there are times when the political leaders in the US listen to this kind of witness. Raising our voice about this one policy is just the beginning of working for the much broader transformation of our political order, towards a world where the dignity and value of all of God's people, and creation, is the common goal. But in the end, I am also hopeful about a deeper change. A change deeper than the many give and takes that this trade agreement is going through. A change deeper than the hope promised by politicians. I am hopeful for a deeper change in me, and in you. A change that we can truly join in the fast that God chooses. A change to align our whole lives in the work of God. Then we truly change this world.

Welcome to the Priory
The Priory, Syresham is one of the oldest houses in the Village, with 15th century origins and later Georgian additions. It is spacious and quiet, being right on the edge of the village on the road to Wappenham. Suitable for anyone looking for bed and breakfast in Brackley, it is three miles north of the town just off the A43. It is also seven miles south of Towcester for those seeking bed and breakfast Towcester. Our close proximity to the circuit (three miles) makes us also very suitable for those seeking bed and breakfast Silverstone.
The village has a shop and pub within ten minutes' walking distance and has won Village of the Year Northamptonshire an unprecedented three times (2008-2010). Inside guests will pass 15th century stone arches from Luffield Abbey, (dissolved in the Reformation) whose site is now covered by Silverstone Circuit. These give The Priory a Grade II Listing.
Breakfast is taken in the old dining room which has thick ships' timbers dating back to the Napoleonic Wars. Public rooms are decorated with flowers, portraits and period furniture. We have a high proportion of returning guests who come back for the quiet, dog friendly atmosphere and the AGA-cooked full English breakfast with free range eggs laid by the Priory hens.

Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment are betting big on film adaptations of Sony PlayStation's cute critter platform video game series.
Not content with just a "Ratchet and Clank" movie, earlier this week they announced a film based on the "Sly Cooper" series about a master thief raccoon and his friends. The project is far enough along that a teaser trailer is already out which you can see below.
Now, speaking with Shack News, Blockade's co-founder Brad Foxhoven revealed some more details about the project. Sucker Punch Productions, the company behind the "Sly Cooper" and "inFamous" game series, is said to have been "very supportive" in the process and provided both "creative guidance and feedback throughout."
The film alters the look of the game characters and world, to give it a more deliberately computer animated look whilst remaining true to the game's artistic style - namely its "combination between gritty film noir meets bright, colorful graphic novels."
The movie will NOT be an origin story, the team already together when we meet them in the film. The focus will be on the trio of Sly, Bentley and Murray along with love interest Carmelita, villain Clockwerk and other characters which are being kept secret for now.
One of the big reasons for taking the CG animated route is that it's a much easier transition for a video game to go that way. They also hope to avoid the pitfalls of most game-to-film adaptations so far: "The biggest mistake we see is when the film makers don't include the game creators enough. It would be like excluding JK Rowling from Harry Potter. You need them involved, and helping guide the vision, and the overall authenticity of the film."

Absence rates and occupation, 2005
January 31, 2006
Workers in natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations and in management, professional, and related occupations had the lowest absence rates in 2005.
Full-time workers in natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations had an absence rate of 2.8 percent while those in management, professional, and related occupations had an absence rate of 3.0 percent.
Production, transportation, and material moving occupations had an absence rate of 3.5 percent.
Workers in service occupations and in sales and office occupations had the highest absence rates, both at 3.7 percent. Within service occupations, healthcare support occupations had a rate of 5.1 percent.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. More information on absence rates in 2005 can be found in Table 47 (PDF) of the January 2006 Employment and Earnings. The absence rate is the ratio of workers with absences to total full-time wage and salary employment. Absences are instances when persons who usually work 35 or more hours a week worked less than 35 hours during the reference week for one of the following reasons: Own illness, injury, or medical problems; child-care problems; other family or personal obligations; civic or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave.
