When lethargy, stereotypes, and quasi-despair get in the way of the holy exuberance of a lived faith, the spirit and passion of the faithful can slowly wither away. Noted essayist Brian Doyle understands this well, and his deep desire is to get Catholics excited about their faith once again—reminding them that the heartbeat of Catholicism is found not under priestly robes or in papal decrees, but in parish halls and at football stadiums, at breakfast tables and on city buses.
Doyle's trademark candor, wit, and humor make this collection of more than 40 essays eminently enjoyable to read. From preparing for his First Confession by creating a fake laundry list of sins, to observing his mom's reaction to John F. Kennedy's assassination, to pondering his friend's surprising success with Catholic Golf Digest, Doyle's passionate writing is as likely to make us shed a tear as it is to make us laugh out loud.
In the end, The Thorny Grace of It proves that, far from being extinguished, the Catholic faith— imperfect as it is—is wildly aflame in hearts and lives everywhere!
Brian Doyle is the editor of Portland Magazine at the University of Portland, in Oregon. He is the author of four essay collections, most recently Leaping: Revelations & Epiphanies (Loyola Press, 2003). He and his father Jim Doyle are the co-authors of Two Voices, which won the Christopher Award in 1996. Brian's own essays have appeared in The American Scholar, The Atlantic Monthly, and Harper's, among other periodicals, and in the Best American Essays anthologies of 1998, 1999, and 2003.
The Best Catholic Writing 2004: The first of its kind collection of best Catholic writing features timely, thought-provoking works from the brightest voices on Catholic issues.
The Best Catholic Writing 2005: The critically acclaimed annual collection gathers the most interesting, thoughtful, and provocative Catholic writing of the year.
Leaping: Revelations & Epiphanies In Leaping, Brian Doyle employs his wit, wisdom, and gusto for life as he shares with readers his thoughts on Jesus, the Mass, Birds, Bees, and so much more.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
"It feels good to win it," Cody Brixey of Nampa, Idaho, said. "I always do good here in Gold Beach with Howell Rodeo."
With each of the bulls weighing close to 2,000 pounds, the bull riders had to use all of their strength and wiles to overcome the twisting and turning of the bulls.
"It's never a given," Brixey explained. "You have to try every time. It felt good — he was a good bull."
Brixey drew the bull "Pig" and rode him for a full eight seconds to get a score of 82 from the judges and claim the $3,000 top prize.
Proving just how tough you have to be to ride bulls for a living, Brixey was riding with one cracked rib and one separated rib and chose to sit out the bonus short round where he could have earned more money.
"I got busted up last weekend," he said. "I was hurting so bad after riding 'Pig' that I couldn't get out of the chutes until after it was all over. I was back there for all of the short round."
Second place went to Xavier Gilbert of Madras who took home $2,000 for his 80-point ride on "Stray Kat."
The barrels portion of the event was broken into two groups — the open division and the 4-H division. The open division was won by Jennifer Storts out of Coquille who claimed $150 as her prize.
Second place went to Chelsea Howell of Bellfountain and third place was taken by Jen Brady of Myrtle Point.
The 4-H division was won by Brookings-Harbor High School junior Kendall Hicks with a time of 17.20.
"It feels awesome," Hicks said. "I was really nervous in the open division and felt like I was going to puke, but we did better in the 4-H division."
The evening began with Mutton Bustin' which was won by 10-year-old Kieryn Ruda of Brookings, who held on for 49 seconds to win the trophy.
A fitting birthday present for Ruda who turned 10 on Thursday was to win it all.
"It was awesome," Ruda said. "It was kind of hard to hold on, but it was fun."
Ruda was the second place winner in 2012 and, according to her mom Stephanie, coming back this year to win was all she could talk about.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The African Nations Championship 2014 results today deliver a standings battle between four groups of teams. The tournament started this week and has already delivered some score surprises.
The African Nations Championship 2014 results are underway in the group action. All soccer games for the initial group stage will be played through January 22, 2014, officials tell news. The elimination process is relatively straight forward. The top two teams in each group advances. The bottom two teams at the end of the group stage are eliminated.
Since there are only four teams in each group, there are only three group games during the group stage. As a result, two wins likely sends a team to the quarterfinals.
So far in Group A, South Africa and Mali are in first place with three points each. Nigeria and Mozambique are currently tied in last place with no points. In Group B, Uganda is currently in first place with three points. Morocco and Zimbabwe each have one point while Burkina Faso has none, officials tell news.
In Group C, Libya and Ghana are in first place currently with three points. Congo and Ethiopia have none. And Group D action is currently underway. For live score results click through tomorrow click HERE.

He's already a self-proclaimed master of rock, now Jack Black is going after bigger things — like space and time.
After the actor/musician makes Peter Jackson's "King Kong" (see "Jack Black Cast In 'King Kong' — No, Not As The Ape" ) and the long-awaited Tenacious D movie (see "Coming Soon: Tenacious D's Big Fat Movie" ), he's agreed to star in an adaptation of the sci-fi novel "Master of Space and Time."
"That's really about the director, Michel Gondry, who I think is amazing," Black said of the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" director, who is also the visionary behind acclaimed videos for Björk and the White Stripes. "I love his music videos and I really love ['Eternal Sunshine']. I thought that was incredible."
A script for the movie is not yet finished, but Black signed on based on his appreciation for Gondry. The novel, written by Rudy Rucker, follows an engineer and an inventor who discover a way to alter reality and travel in other dimensions.
Black is currently shooting "King Kong" with Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody and will hit the big screen Friday as one of the main voices in the animated "Shark Tale."
"It's pretty fun and easy compared to doing a live-action film," Black said, "because you come in, you do, like, seven hours of recording and then you're done for a few months."
The biggest challenge for the comedian was coming up with a voice for his character, Lenny, a shark who angers his father (Robert De Niro) when he refuses to eat fish.
"It was a little Woody Allen-y," Black said, comparing his voice to the famous actor/director's. "I just looked at the pictures of them and thought about who he was, and that seemed the right thing. He had to have the Brooklyn accent and I didn't want him to be a tough dude, so it just sort of naturally went to [Allen]."
With so many movies in the pipeline, Black and his Tenacious D partner, Kyle Gass, have had little time to record, but the two have done some rock for John Kerry benefits and hope to do more.
"I've never really been involved in politics," Black said. "I've always sort of leaned to the left, but this time it just got serious all of a sudden. It seemed way more personal than usual. I just think Bush has made a lot of mistakes and has led us down a bad road. And now there's this talk like, 'But you gotta keep him, you don't want to change in the middle …' Bullsh–! Because a guy ruined something, you gotta keep the same guy to fix what he ruined? That doesn't make sense to me. Time to repair the damage. Get the new guy in to do it."

You've heard the old adage that after three days fish and visitors begin to smell, well it seems that Michelle Obama's odor might be a bit rank by now, because her neighbors want her gone.
The Obama clan is never concerned about the imposition they create upon other people and their lives, whether it is bad policies or the case of their uncaring behavior at their neighbor's expense.
According to American Overlook, Michelle decided to bless her neighbors with her twice extended presence by hanging out with Oprah at her 12-bedroom mansion on Maui. Not to matter that her continued hangout with the billionaire television and cable network star is disrupting the neighbors, it seems her 50th birthday celebration is far more important.
Of course it is no matter that the American taxpayers are footing the extra cost in these budget tight times. The Chicago disbarred lawyer feels right at home spending other people's money, since she made the decision in December to vacate the Capitol early at the cost of $63,000 instead of taking Air Force One with President Obama later.
So Michelle making the decision to stay in Hawaii this week to celebrate her 50th birthday was a strict no-brainer when it comes to living large in Maui.
Neighbors are growing impatient with her "royal highness wannabe." Besides the continuing burdens that security checkpoints are causing many of the small area businesses are suffering. "Many business owners are complaining they can't even stock their shelves because supply trucks are barred from traveling on roads near Oprah's mansion," reports American Overlook.
What do you think about Michelle's refusal to split Oprah's digs? Should she go or should she stay?

|The prosodic (re)organization of children's early English articles
|Katherine Demuth
|Macquarie University
|Elizabeth McCullough
|Brown University
|Linguistic Field:
|Phonology; Semantics; Syntax
|Researchers have long been puzzled by children's variable omission of grammatical morphemes, often attributing this to a lack of semantic or syntactic competence. Recent studies suggest that some of this variability may be due to phonological constraints. This paper explored this issue further by conducting a longitudinal study of five English-speaking one- to two-year-olds' acquisition of articles. It found that most children were more likely to produce articles when these could be produced as part of a disyllabic foot. However, acoustic analysis revealed that one child initially produced all articles as independent prosodic words. These findings confirm that some of the variable production of articles is conditioned by constraints on children's early phonologies, providing further support for the Prosodic Licensing Hypothesis. They also hold important implications for our understanding of the emergence of syntactic knowledge.

In MongoDB, database writes/updates follow the "fire and forget" pattern. This means that the database will not wait for a response when you perform an update operation on a document. MongoMapper follows this same convention by default.
The down side of this strategy is if something goes wrong–such as a unique index constraint failing or an internal MongoDB error–an error won't be raised. You may never know that your data isn't being saved, until you try to read it and it's not there.
Instead of just using the default "fire and forget" behavior on our save operation, passing the
:safe option to
save will force the driver to make sure the save succeeds and raise an error if it doesn't.
user = User.new("firstname.lastname@example.com")
user.save(:safe => true) # => Mongo::OperationFailure: 11000: E11000 duplicate key error index: mealsnap_dev.foos.$email_1 dup key: { : "firstname.lastname@example.com@" }
You could also declare
safe in your model in order to force all operations to be safe.
class User
include MongoMapper::Document
key :email, String
safe option can be either a boolean or a Hash of options. For example, if you want to ensure that a highly critical write is committed to the journal on the majority of replica set members before
save returns, you would use:
invoice = Invoice.new(:status => :paid)
invoice.save(:safe => {:j => true, :w => 'majority'})
You can also set these options when you declare your model:
class Invoice
include MongoMapper::Document
safe(:j => true, :w => 'majority')
For more information about the available options, see the documentation for the getLastError command.

Recording artist Russell Taylor first came to the attention of many when we was chosen over 400 artists in VH1's first ever crowdsourced contest for the title of "You Oughta Know" artist for the month of December in 2013. His single WAR OF HEARTS became a part of our lives, setting the stage for even more buzz around his album by the same name.
Taylor has now released his new single HOPE, and it once again is sure to earn him the attention he deserves as an artist with an amazing gift.
"There's no light inside a broken heart," he sings in the single, showing what many feel when a relationship ends or loneliness sets in. "Close the door I did to rest inside the dark. I thought there'd be no hope for the daylight...then love came and rushed in...", and it's "us against the world."
Hope is a beautiful thing, especially when you thought that your best days were behind you. When someone reminds you of your own worth and allows you to see that you can find the courage to love again it definitely feels like a breath of fresh air. Taylor says in the song that he felt "lost in space" at one point, but now that love has returned it "gave new life" to him. No matter what else might happen he knows they have the moment. "We have this" he sings. And that is what we can all remember. As long as there is breath in our bodies we have hope.
Stay connected with Russell Taylor online at www.russelltaylor.net. His single HOPE is available on Amazon here.

Review by Brian Zickafoose
Veteran band Clutch have returned to resurrect rock from the dark depths of rap-rock and emo with their sixth studio release. The quartet's latest is a quasi-concept album about a demonic character, Worm Drink, who seeks refuge from the Blast Tyrant's prize ship, the Swollen Goat, after he defects from a life of war and evil in search of something far loftier.
Frontman Neil Fallon cooks up a spicy, lyrical stew in his patented, evangelist-turned-voodoo salesman manner that seasoned metal heads have grown to love. Drummer Jean Paul Gaster and bassist Dan Maines lay down fiery, ultra-tight cadences behind Tim Sult's searing wah-wah guitar riffs.
The CD opens with the ear-blistering "Mercury" followed by the psychedelic swagger of "Profits of Doom." On the volatile anti-establishment anthem, "The Mob Goes Wild," Fallon urges, "Everybody move to Canada/Smoke lots of pot/Everybody move to Canada/Right now."
Clutch change gears on the ominous, blues ballad "Regulator," about a homebound journeyman on an ill-fated quest. The Regulator clock's pendulum swings and the rogue's feverish thoughts twist under a gamut of emotions as he beckons, "Come with me and walk the longest mile."
"Worm Drink," named for the Zapotic warrior elixir mezcal, is a funky head bobber on which the demon drunkard declares he's done with violence and flees. The album reaches its fervent finale when the fatally wounded Worm Drink seeks out "La Curandera"—a woman who brews ayahuasca, in this particular case a young girl in a linen dress of white. The song is a flighty, two-part collage with the outro featuring Tim Sult on a Hammond organ.
Blast Tyrant is Clutch's most sonically expansive recording to date while staying true to their heavy yet humble roots. The proof is in the juice.

"America's Got Talent" returns tonight with a whole new group of contestants to compete in the hit series' ninth season. Also returning are last season's panel of judges – Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel, as well as Nick Cannon as host.
At a press conference for the new season, the judges talked about the changes for the new season, the contestants and more.
Are there any format changes this season?
Heidi Klum: We have a golden buzzer. Normally we all have a red buzzer, so if we don't like an act, we can buzz. But now every judge has the opportunity to save someone. So if someone gets three Xs, they're automatically out. So if you believe in that person that much, you can hit the golden buzzer, but only one time throughout the whole season you can save that person.
Howie Mandel: So it's tough. You're actually saving a life. And in that moment, we have to make a decision. Only one time if they don't get through, we get to use that and save a life.
Mel B: Howie used it the other day.
Howie Mandel: I was the first. And we're only halfway through, so I don't know if I squandered my opportunity.
There's another couple of changes. Boot camp, which I'm thrilled about, is going to be in front of a live audience. Usually they would show up and it would be the four of us sitting there. As a performer, I think that when there's an audience there, you rise to the occasion.
Also ‑‑ and this is new and different ‑‑ we, as judges, are only doing the auditions in New York and L.A. So whereas an act might have been comfortable when we used to go to Kansas or Portland or whatever, it would be uncomfortable for them because they're new and it's fresh and everything, but they would be in their hometown. We just did auditions at Madison Square Garden, so they're on the stage at Madison Square Garden. They're [also] going to be on the stage at the Dolby Theater where the Academy Awards are.
So their first time out, it's an epic experience, much bigger, much more pressure than has ever been had before, and I'm telling you as somebody who has been watching ‑‑ we're halfway through ‑‑ people have risen to the occasion, and we're seeing new and better.
What are you looking for in contestants?
Howie Mandel: We're not looking for the best guy to chew through a license plate. We are looking for America's best talent, and I find that almost easier to judge than singing, because singing is really subjective. But if somebody comes on stage and does something original, something you've never seen before and captures your attention and you believe America's attention and you believe that this is so good that at some point somebody's gonna want to buy a ticket and show up and see this again, then I think that's pretty easy to judge.
Heidi Klum: It's like a novelty act. It's something that you've never seen before. Sometimes people come and they just do super silly, stupid things where you're like, "Okay. I've never seen this before, but no one should really see that." Then there's other people that do something really unusual, and you're like, "I can't even believe someone would think about doing something like that, and people should see that because I've never seen this before and America should see this," so we just push these people forward, and then at the end of the day, America can judge if they want them to go into the finals or not.
Could the judges just talk a little about how hard it is when you have emotional stories?
Mel B: I think, for me, it's about the whole package. I want to like somebody as well. Even if their act is not so good, and I like them, obviously I'm not going to put them through. It has to be both. That act has to be good and they have to be likeable. At the end of the day, America is going to be voting for them. They're going to be choosing the winner, so it's kind of important, both, for me.
Heidi Klum: For me, if the act is not good, I don't care how sad or how deep the background story is. If the act is bad, the act is bad,and they get my X and my no.
Season 9 of "America's Got Talent" premieres tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

Standardized testing in the early grades is always a topic that has many sides. Early childhood teachers have a variety of opinions about testing for young children. Opinions range from being on the "yes" side because testing can give a complete picture of the child's abilities and knowledge of the curriculum to teachers who are opposed to structured testing of young children. Early childhood teachers who are opposed to standardized testing for young children prefer to use portfolios that display progressive knowledge of the child's mastery of the curriculum through the year.
Testing for kindergartners comes early in the first 30 days of kindergarten in the Sarasota County School district. The Florida Department of Education established a kindergarten readiness screening tool that is based on standards adopted by the State Board of Education. The Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener is given to all kindergarten students in the first 30 days of the school year. The screening tool is aligned with the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten education standards. Many young children do not attend pre-kindergarten as it is not required. These children may find the kindergarten screening tests daunting. Kindergarten teachers in the Sarasota County School District will review the results of the screening tool with parents.
There are 8 areas of development that kindergarten students in Sarasota schools will be tested on at the end of the first 30 days of kindergarten.
*Physical health
*Approaches to Learning
*Social and emotional health
*Language and communication skills
*Emergent literacy
*Math and scientific thinking skills
*Social studies and the arts
*Motor development
The Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener also consists of a subset of the Early Childhood Observation system. There are also two measurement tools from the Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading. Kindergartners in the Sarasota County Schools are also tested with this observation tool that tests their knowledge of letter names and phonetic knowledge. Listening comprehension and vocabulary development are also tested.
Testing after the first 30 days of kindergarten attendance is beneficial to teachers, parents, and young children. Teachers may use the results to prepare lessons that teach to the needs of the children in the class. Parents benefit from knowing that their kindergarten student is ready for learning. Young children benefit from early testing in that they can begin to get an understanding of the skills that they must master in kindergarten.
Testing is here to stay, and early childhood educators can aid young children by giving them a positive testing environment in the first days of kindergarten in order to prepare them for tests in later grades.

No. 13 Texas Tech Heads to Westbrook Spring Invitational
Kim Kaufman enters this week still ranked No. 1 nationally in the Golfweek rankings.
Feb. 23, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - The 13th-ranked Texas Tech women's golf team will open the first of three-straight tournaments in the state of Arizona Sunday morning at the Westbrook Spring Invitational held at the Westbrook Village Golf Club in Peoria.
The Lady Raiders, who are one of three top-20 programs in the 13-team field, will open the 54-hole tournament with two rounds on Sunday followed by Monday's final 18 holes.
"We're excited to get back on the course at a tournament where we played well last year," Tech head coach JoJo Robertson said. "This tournament will have several top teams in both Arkansas and Washington and we're looking forward to competing against the best. Hopefully we can put ourselves in position to be in contention on Monday."
Tech finished second at the tournament a year ago with an 8-under-par 856 card that marked the program's lowest 54-hole score in school history. Kim Kaufman and Gabby Dominguez tied for second individually as well with a 9-under 207 that also marked the lowest 54-hole score for a Tech player all-time.
The Lady Raiders are off to another strong start to the spring schedule as they finished third just over a week ago at the prestigious Lady Puerto Rico Classic. The finish moved Tech up seven spots to No. 13 in the latest Golfweek rankings.
Kaufman led the Lady Raiders in Puerto Rico as she finished a stroke off the lead in second place. The performance kept the senior ranked No. 1 nationally in the Golfweek rankings.
She will be joined in the lineup this week by juniors Hannah Arnold and Beverly Mendoza along with sophomore Elin Arvidsson and freshman Kimmy Hill, who is coming off her first career top-20 finish.
The tournament is set for a 10:30 a.m. CT shotgun start Sunday morning. Tech fans can keep up with the action throughout the tournament with live stats on www.golfstat.com.

I got one J4.. I know I know lot of controversy on them.. I look at it as a non reliable fun at the range thing a dinga.
Had it on my super shorty, but had to put it on one a bit longer and heavier to make it work.. Would I count on it in a SHTF situation? Hell no..
Not jamming, just stops firing if you do not hold it right.. Not conducive to a long life if you need the damn thing to shoot.. Fun at the range, but I damn sure would not want to count on it in a bad situation..
Bump Fire stock, load yourself down with a thousand rounds, 75 round mag, your called a "Target."

Julie Kay| Special to The Advocate July 2, 2014; 4:35 p.m. Comments Summer is a wonderful time for lots of different fruits, including Louisiana strawberries. Slow Cooker Strawberry Shortcake is a personal summertime recipe favorite, but don't cook it too long. This will be one of those recipes best made as the cook returns home. Serve dinner while dessert takes its time in the slow cooker. This shortcake has a blueberry twist. If you have blueberries, as I did, add a few after the shortcake is ready to make a red, white and blue treat in honor of the Fourth of July. Reserve a cup or two of strawberries in the refrigerator for garnish and that fresh pop of color upon serving. Cooking on High will give the dough topping the chance to do a bit of browning. This is a colorful dessert that's sure to give your holiday celebration a touch of lagniappe, just the right hint of something extra. Enjoy your Fourth of July.

WHEELING - It was business as usual for Travis "The Terror" Clark Saturday night inside WesBanco Arena.
The Morristown native needed just 1-minute, 50-seconds of the first round to dispatch Martinsburg's Rocky Burch in what was scheduled to be a 4-round professional heavyweight boxing match.
"I wanted to go in there and take care of business, and that's pretty much what I did," Clark, now 7-0, explained. "The quicker you get in and out, the less chance of something bad happening.
Article Photos
"I hit him with a body shot and then a hook," Clark added. "he didn't want anymore after that."
Indeed Burch didn't.
The body shot took its toll, while the hook sent the former Martinsburg Toughman champion to one knee. He waved his gloves to the referee, who wisely stopped the fight.
"The body shot caught him good and the hook got him on the way down," Clark recalled. "That kind of surprised me because he really came out strong. He came at me like a toughman instead of being patient like most professionals."
Clark said there are some big things coming up in his career within the couple of weeks.
"The Times Leader will definitely be the first to know," he said. Bigger things are coming really soon. That's all I can say for now."

Service problems and recovery strategies: An experiment (ABSTRACT)
Levesque, T., & McDougall, G.
published: 2001 | Research publication | Refereed Journals - Marketing
Levesque, T., & McDougall, G. (2001). "Service problems and recovery strategies: An experiment". Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences, 17 (1), 20-37.
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the effectiveness of recovery strategies after a service failure on customer loyalty and complaint intentions. Respondents encountered different core failures in terms of problem severity and criticality levels. The results suggest the effectiveness of service recovery strategies - assistance and/or compensation - varied depending on the type of service, problem severity, and criticality levels. The implication is that recovery strategies need to be matched to the specific incident. Service firms should focus on avoiding or reducing core failures. Getting it right the first time is the best strategy

- Only pay for shipping if you know the seller.

Here are 5 things you need to know about consumers and their digital devices. Read more.
A dress for the holidays, an espresso maker and a bath mat to replace the one the dog chewed. Ideally, shoppers will come into a department store and purchase many items—the more, the better. That's one reason why wide sweep, store-brand marketing is effective in bringing consumers into stores like JCPenney. But marketing broadly to department store shoppers is not always the best way to reach buyers of specific product categories. What shoppers think about the store, actions they take after shopping and the media they use often differ based on the categories in which they make purchases. Read more.

I was working at the La Center library. As I recall, it was a beautiful morning–not a cloud in the sky. I was there early trying to get a jump on the day.
A coworker arrived and yelled for us to get down off the roof. We weren't sure what he was yelling about. As we approached, his frustration was obvious, but the cause was not clear.
The man had a portable television with him. Within a minute of it being tuned in we all watched in horror as the second plane hit the World Trade Center.
We looked up to the sky in unison and realized there were no planes around us. This was very ominous considering we were directly below the flight path between Portland and Seattle.
Work was shut down. I went home to my family. Together we watched the buildings fall, the spotty coverage of the Pentagon, and the crash site in that Pennsylvania field.
I was nowhere near the scene of these atrocities. I did not know anyone who lost their life that day. Still, all these years later, the pain we felt as a nation seems like yesterday.

The high-stepping gait of horses that wins prizes in the show ring is obtained by torturing horses. It's called "soring"- and it involves whipping, kicking, shocking and using caustic chemicals on the front legs of horses in order to cause pain, resulting in the artificially produced high-stepping gait
This cruel practice has been illegal for more than 40 years under the federal Horse Protection Act, but it hasn't protected horses from this torture, or prevented owners from winning prizes from it.
Obviously, the USDA cannot regulate the Horse Protection Act properly, so it is time to BAN the Tennessee Walking Horse competition altogether.

Gamification continues to gain ground in shaping the way people interact with information. In some cases, traditional industries that might not seem like good candidates for a gamification initiative are finding success and new ways to interact with a broader customer base. Canada-based Sun Life Financial has experienced a surge in membership thanks to a recent partnership with gamification pioneer Bunchball in launching their money UP campaign. Sun Life's SVP of Group Retirement Services, Tim Reid, offered some isnight into the campaign and how gamificaiton is changing how information is shared with a new demographic segment.
Q. With Gen Y membership usually being low, the gamification platform was a method to increase awareness/members for this demographic. What did your data show in terms of participation amongst Gen Y members?
A. From January to December 2013, we found that use of mysunlife.ca (our secure site for the employees of our clients' organizations) for Gen Y was at 24.5%. With money UP, Sun Life is seeing participants from a broad range of age groups but the largest demographic is Gen Y (age 21 to 35). Since we launched money UP on December 8, 2013, to March 9, 2014, we have found that 32% of participants are Gen Y.
In just a few months, that's a 29% increase compared to our overall 2013 web statistics for mysunlife.ca. This is especially encouraging because a key challenge for our industry is educating and engaging younger employees about what their workplace retirement and savings programs can offer them. With so many competing priorities and distractions in the workplace, finding time to learn about saving and investing can be difficult for all age groups. For younger employees, it's especially challenging to prioritize when retirement is many decades away.
Sun Life needed an innovative approach to cut through the clutter and motivate all employees to learn about what their employers offer in a fun, interactive way. So far, our metrics are showing that money UP is appealing to this younger generation.
Q. What evaluation process did Sun Life go through to determine Bunchball was the best platform?
A. As the leader in group retirement services, Sun Life wanted to work with the leader in cutting edge gamification technology. Bunchball is the innovator in this space. We feel a great synergy working with them and share a vision of how we want to use money UP to engage and educate Canadians.
We were looking for a vendor that could help us integrate game mechanics into our existing retirement and savings education program and provide an engaging path to get employees to not only learn about investing, saving and retirement planning, but take the necessary steps to achieve their financial goals.
Q. Were there any prior examples of similar programs in your industry that you could draw from or is your company a pioneer in using a gamification platform?
A. It's important to continually look outside our industry to see what other companies are doing to engage their customers – and evaluate whether that approach would be the right fit for us. With that in mind, Sun Life has had a history of using these innovative technologies to engage our clients' employees with greater ease and convenience, whether it's our mobile app or wireless enrolment, as examples.
With money UP, Sun Life became the first Canadian financial institution to use gamification to educate the employees of our clients' organizations.
Q. Did you determine specific metrics of success or is the main purpose to build awareness and change behavior regarding saving for retirement?
A. Sun Life's goal in launching a gamification initiative was to help employees learn more - and ultimately earn more - for their retirement through increased financial literacy, retirement education and increased savings. The need is there.
Just 37% of Canadian employees say they have a very good or excellent understanding of their workplace retirement plan. (source: 2013 CAP Member Survey, Benefits Canada). Only 17% of employees have maximized their contributions in 2013, even though 74% realize they are leaving "free money" on the table. (source: 2013 CAP Member Survey, Benefits Canada).
We are monitoring weekly web metrics and participation rates to determine how successful we are in getting our clients' employees to participate in money UP. More importantly, we are also keenly interested in how we are changing behaviours such as increased usage of our financial planning tools or increased enrolment in a product.
We are putting together our first quarterly report but even with a recent sample review of 70 employees, we saw that 20% took action either by enrolling in a new product or by increasing their contribution levels.
Q. How have other demographic groups in your memberhsip responded so far?
A. Sun Life is getting interesting metrics across the spectrum of age groups:
Gen X (36-45) and late boomers (46-55) each make up 27% of participants so they're not far behind Gen Y.
Early boomers (56-65) comprise 13% of the participants.
Q. How do you see the platform expanding? If successful, does this change in any way how Sun Life does business in the future?
A. Saving and investing for retirement is an ongoing process, and we will be driving our clients' employees back to money UP with new missions and levels to introduce new concepts and reinforce key tasks and messages (such as revisiting their asset allocation regularly).
Sun Life plans to implement annual campaigns that will keep money UP front and centre as one of our premier education tools. We feel this approach will revolutionize how our industry provides education programs within the workplace, whether it's for retirement and savings or for health benefits.

Welcome to Self Service Password Reset Manager (SSRPM)
Security of our computer systems and the information stored there is of critical importance to all of us. CTS is implementing a new and easier to use Password Reset tool called "Self Service Reset Password Manager" (SSRPM). Under SSRPM, when you forget your password, you can reset it by answering the personalized security questions you select. This simpler and easier than the current process (request a reset, a temporary PW is assigned, which you must change again immediately.)
After Enrolling in SSRPM and selecting your security questions, you can reset your password at any time.
Go to http://password.purchase.edu to get started by enrolling in SSRPM and selecting your security questions.
Security Questions you may choose include:
1. What was your childhood nickname?
2. In what city did you meet your spouse/significant other?
3. What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?
4. What street did you live on in third grade?
5. What is your oldest sibling's middle name?
6. What school did you attend for sixth grade?
7. What was the name of your first stuffed animal?
8. What was the last name of your third grade teacher?
9. In what city does your nearest sibling live?
10. What is your maternal grandmother's maiden name?
11. In what city or town was your first job?
12. What is the name of a college you applied to but didn't attend?
13. What was your first car?
14. Where is your favorite place to vacation?
15. Where is your favorite spot in New York City?
16. What is your favorite game?
17. Who is your favorite artist?
18. What is your favorite song?
19. What was the name of your first pet?
20. What was your first supervisor's name?
21. What year did your family first come to the United States?
After choosing three questions, you will also be asked to create your own personal security challenge/response question. After you enroll and choose your questions, you are done.
If you don't enroll now, you will receive a reminder to enroll after a polite interval. When your password approaches its expiration date, you will receive the same email notices as you do now, and you can return to http://password.purchase.edu to change your password. You can also return to SSRPM at any time to either adjust your security questions and/or change your password.
How does Self Service Password Reset Manager (SSRPM) benefit me?
The service allows you to reset your forgotten password at any time, from any place. Security questions that you choose when you enroll in SSRPM are used to validate your identity and reset your password. It uses personalized questions that are easy for you to remember, providing a quicker path to password resets or changes than the previous method.
How does the Self Service Password Reset Manager work?
When you enroll, you will provide SSRPM with answers to several questions that you choose. When its time to reset your password, or if you forget your password, go to http://password.purchase.edu, answer the security questions you chose, and then choose a new password. The security questions should have responses that are easy for you to remember – and generally involve information that is not included in any commonly available public records.
What if I don't want my account to have this feature?
The previous mechanism that prompts you for birthdate/SSN and issues a cryptic temporary password - which you must then change again immediately – will remain available. This new method is easier because there's no cryptic temporary password step, you just answer your security questions and then choose a new password. Please see the Change Your Email Account Password page for information on using the old method.
Summary: It is easier and more secure than the old process. Big Gold Star! Everybody wins- Double Rainbow!

Sen. Markey to introduce gun law proposal in effort to avoid ACA
What his political opponents characterize as an obvious ploy to avoid the Obamacare debate in November's election cycle, on Thursday, Massachusetts' ultra-liberal Democrat, Sen. Ed Markey, announced his intention to introduce legislation that is sure to create divisiveness among the voters. The veteran politician said he will propose a new law that would require gun manufacturers to "install" an owner-recognition system in each firearm manufactured in the United States, according to his "Markey for U.S. Senate" website.
Next week, Markey is set to propose "The Handgun Trigger Safety Act of 2014," a law that will mandate technology that would make a handgun inoperable if someone apart from an authorized user attempts to fire it.
"What any clear-thinking American will see here is an attempt by Markey to avoid facing a defeat because of his gung-ho attitude towards Obamacare in 2010. He's another Democrat who echoed the lies told to get support for the Affordable Care Act law," said political strategist Mike Baker.
The so-called Handgun Trigger Safety Act will stipulate that within two years of it being signed into law by President Barack Obama, all handguns manufactured or sold in the U.S. must be "fitted" exclusively to the legal owner of that handgun, according to Markey's web site.
Markey claims that making certain only authorized users can fire the weapon will reduce use of stolen guns or accidental shootings by the owner's children.
Markey's proposed law would mandate that by the third year after its enactment, anyone — gun shop owners, gun collectors, gun show participants, etc. — who sell handguns to customers must install personal identification technology before the weapon can be turned over to the buyer, according to his campaign staff.
The Handgun Trigger Safety Act stipulates, according to Markey, that the costs for program will be paid by a Department of Justice fund.
Markey's law would also offer funds from the Justice Department to created incentives for the development of improved handgun safety technology. The law and its costs will be funded through a surcharge on all firearms purchases.
"Markey won the June special election to finish out the term of former U.S. Sen. John Kerry. He defeated businessman and retired Navy Seal Gabriel Gomez, 55 percent to 45 percent. Markey must now run for a full term in November of 2014. It is possible that either former GOP U.S. Sen. Scott Brown or former Navy SEAL Gomez will toss their hats into the ring," according to Cook Political Report.

Setback for German Merck's Gastric Cancer Drug
by VR Sreeraman on July 6, 2012 at 1:47 PM Clinical Trials News - G J E 4
Germany's Merck KGaA suffered another setback after its gastric cancer drug Erbitux failed to help patients with advanced stomach tumors in a late- stage clinical trial.
The trials found that in combination with standard chemotherapy, Erbitux did not extend "the length of time that patients live without their disease getting worse," Merck KGaA said in a statement.
Advertisement"We are disappointed that the ... trial did not show a benefit for patients with advanced gastric cancer when Erbitux was added to standard chemotherapy," said Florian Lordick, in charge of the clinical trials.
"Understandably, these results are disappointing for patients with advanced gastric cancer, and as a company we will continue to invest in oncology research and development to find new treatments for these diseases," said Merck's head of drug development, Annalisa Jenkins.
The results would not alter the proven utility of Erbitux in its already approved indications for metastatic colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer, Merck KGaA said.
The news hit Merck KGaA shares which were showing a loss of 0.38 percent at 79.65 euros in mid-morning trade on the Frankfurt stock exchange in a generally firmer market.

I was fortunate enough to get the day off and pay a visit to Phil Wood and Co. today. After picking up my new frame and EBB, Brent was kind enough to give me the 25 cent tour. I work in the manufacturing field and love the smell of lathes churning away. I was especially impressed with the amount of attention to detail that goes into each part. My favorite part of the tour was a visit to the odd's and ends room where Brent pulled out early Phil hubs and custom parts. Very interesting.....
I got a chance to peek in the bike room and see frames from the past history of Phil Wood. Did you know Phil Wood experiemented with a full suspension frame way back in the day????? Please don't bother Brent with a million questions about this one, the way he expalined it to me, the history was pretty short. If you are looking for a steel Phil Wood Kiss off frame, there are only a couple left.
My thanks to Phil Wood and Co. (especially Brent) for taking the time to work with me on the project.
The attached pictures basically suck, but gives an idea of what my new frame looks like. I was surprised with the blue color, and it was a pleasant surprise indeed. I gave Russ of Air Art, liberty to make it work and make it look "nice". Not bad for an Old School guy, he used to do the custom paint for Mountain Goat MTB's.
I also scored a very cool Phil Wood Tee-shirt today - Thanks Brent !!! The EBB is truly a piece of art...
<img src=http://gallery.consumerreview.com/webcrossing/images/frame(39).jpg>
The flames came out real nice. Thanks to Eric for the inspiration....
Now, I need to plan a field trip to my old stompin grounds, SoCal, and visit The Path Bike Shop for the final build. We are waiting for the White Indutries cranks and then we will be ready to roll and put it all together. Props to Tani for putting up with my endless phone calls and last minute changes. Don't you hate customers that do that..... I am sure no one else out there does that... right....
Brent has better pictures, hopefully when he has time, and his little girl Sela feels better, he will post a few. Thanks to the folks at MTBR for the space and time to gloat a bit.
All the best...

Seb's opening-day excitement
by Stuart Vose
Larsson looking forward to curtain-raiser at the Stadium of Light.
Seb Larsson is looking forward to the rare experience of starting a brand-new campaign on home turf.
Sunderland welcome Fulham this weekend for the 2013-14 curtain-raiser with the Swedish midfielder hoping to retain his place having featured prominently during pre-season.
Larsson is more used to playing away from home on the first day and played against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light for Birmingham in the opening fixture of the 2010-11 season, which finished in a 2-2 draw.
"It's pleasing to start at home; it's certainly a long time since I've done that – at least five years ago," he said.
"Hopefully we can get off to a good start in front of our home fans and get the season started."
Tickets for the game remain on sale and, like the fans, Larsson recognises that the first game of a new season is a special occasion.
And he's hoping Paolo Di Canio's new-look side can cash in and get some early points on the board – though he knows opponents Fulham will provide a tough examination.
"That first game always has something about it," he said. "The fans have waited a long time for the season to start and it's the same for us players.
"There's a lot of excitement to get started and see where you are and how you stand compared to other teams.
"It's important to get off to a good start."
Larsson added: "There's no easy games. We know that if we go out and perform in the way we want to we have a good chance of doing well in the game.
"The Barclays Premier League is always tough – let's wait and see what happens."

Kim Kardashian may have lost 70 pounds since baby North's arrival, but she is determined to reduce her body size down to a size 0. She needs this to happen before her wedding takes place with fiance Kanye West. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, a source tells them, "Kim wants to be thinner than her pre-baby body and is willing to do anything to get there. She's desperate to be a size-0 bride."
How is Kim going to achieve this kind of results? Sources say that Kim works out for three hours every day starting at 5 a.m. She is also on a strict Atkins diet and counts every calorie. Her meals consist of grilled fish, chicken and steamed vegetables. It is rare that she eats any kind of carbohydrates.
Kim's desire to shed poundage off her body is not only because she wants to fit into a size-0 wedding dress. She is looking for acceptance by the elite members of the fashion world. This is very important, especially when Kanye wants his wedding to be the focal point of Vogue magazine. He's already talking with Vogue's editor in chief Anna Wintour about the possibility.
Fan comments are anything but flattering over Kim's possibility of slimming down to that size. But then, you never know in the Kardashian world.

Results tagged ' Jose Lopez '
King Felix Indeed
Well, there is a reason why I take this guy every year in my fantasy baseball league. When Felix Hernandez is on, his ball has such incredible movement that it is almost impossible to hit solidly (if at all). That was the case tonight.
The other two reasons the Twins lost:
The Mariners exposed a Carl Pavano weakness and turned the basepaths into a track meet. This is becoming a serious problem when Carlos pitches against teams with speedsters.
Then, Jose Lopez really got ahold of one and you could just feel the air come out of our sails, what with King Felix holding court.
Preview (31-23, 1st, 2.5 GA DET): Scott Baker (5-4, 4.48) vs. Dallas Braden (4-5, 3.60). In the span of three days, the Twins will have stared down last year's postseason hero (Cliff Lee), one of the top hurlers in the AL (Felix), and a guy (in Braden) who has pitched a perfect game this season. Ouch.
Same Score, Different Path
After that thrilling 6-5 victory on Tuesday night, the Twins also took tonight's contest with Seattle by the same score. However, they did it in much different fashion:
Though Carlos Silva lost 35 pounds over the offseason, he still looked like the same guy that got pounded last year, as Justin Morneau pounded an upper-deck moonshot to right field in the first inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead.
Yet, Twins starter Kevin Slowey was also bit by the home run bug, giving up a two-run shot to Russell Branyon in the second inning to even the score.
So, given a reprieve, Silva began anew in the second frame…only to this time see Denard Span crank a home run to right to again give the Twins a 4-2 lead.
At that point it looked for all the world like the Twins might just run away with this one, but the Mariners (as they often do against the Twins) stormed back against Slowey in the top of the fourth with three runs (including a homer from Jose Lopez and one run scored on a very wild Slowey offering) to take a 5-4 lead.
Of course, Seattle skipper Dan Wakamatsu then made the mistake of the night (!)…letting Silva saddle up again for the fifth inning, where back-to-back doubles from Morneau and Kubel gave Minnesota a 6-5 lead we would not relinquish, as the combination of Craig Breslow, Jesse Crain, and Joe Nathan (in dominating fashion) held the M's scoreless for the duration.
-In very un-Twinlike fashion, a batter struck out three times for the third consecutive night. First it was Cuddyer, then Jose Morales, and tonight's victim was Joe Crede. Actually, pretty much all Twins batters are piling up the K's right now…let's hope their just getting them out of their systems early!
-Though Slowey didn't pitch particularly well (6 IP, 5 ER), he did come away with the win, and I'll think he'll be just fine in the coming weeks and months. Perhaps it was just nerves tonight, but he left some balls up that the Seattle bats took advantage of. At times, though, Slowey seemed to be in complete control.
Preview (2-1, 1st, 0.5 GA CWS and KCR): Jarrod Washburn (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Glen Perkins (0-0, 0.00 ERA). Another lefty for the Twins to decipher in Washburn…that often leads to trouble Hopeful Seattle has the same problem with Perk.
