"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

I think he would make a great manager in Division 2 and he could then achieve the record number of promotions he wants. Don't think he will come further north than the south coast anymore as he is likely to get his head bitten off. Also probably wouldn't do it unless Bates told him to!
It's a NO from me!

Japanese Firms Step Up Foreign Bond Sales
By Atsuko Fukase and Megumi Fujikawa
As Japanese firms expand overseas, a growing number have been raising money with foreign-currency bonds. While the bulk of the non-yen bonds have been in U.S. dollars, an increasing handful have been in currencies like the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and even Malaysia's ringgit.
For instance Aeon Credit Service, a credit-card company, issued several Malaysian ringgit bonds amounting to a total of US$200 million this year to help its unit in the Southeast Asian country build plants and buy assets. Japanese companies have been building up assets in the fast-growing region as domestic growth stalls.
While ringgit issuance is still a fraction of non-yen bond sales—at 1.3% of the total—Aeon's issuance illustrates the changing funding strategies of Japanese companies. Bond issuance in Canadian dollars by Japanese firms has more than tripled to US$1.1 billion this year from US$301 million for the whole of last year, data from Dealogic show.
Still, most non-yen bond fundraising—more than 80%—has been in U.S. dollars, as companies take advantage of declining issuance costs. While U.S. interest rates are higher than those in Japan, current swap rates make it a good value for Japanese firms that issue dollar bonds to swap the proceeds into yen, bankers say.
Blue-chip Japanese companies such as Takeda PharmaceuticalNippon Telegraph & Telephone and Mitsubishi have issued more than US$24 billion in foreign-currency debt this year, a record for Japanese firms. Until now, 2008 was the most popular year for foreign-currency issuance, with US$21 billion raised for the whole year, according to Dealogic.
The increase in foreign-currency bond issuance comes as Japanese companies look beyond their traditional funding route—bank loans—because companies want diversification in their capital structure. "Companies are seeking alternative ways for financing and not just relying on bank loans," said Daisaku Fujikawa, co-head of capital markets origination at Citigroup Global Markets Japan.
In July, NTT issued dollar-denominated bonds worth about US$750 million in the U.S., its first non-yen issuance in 14 years. The proceeds from the bonds were converted into yen, and then used to redeem the telecom company's existing bonds.
Mitsubishi Corp. also issued dollar-denominated bonds of about US$750 million.
Merger-and-acquisition activity has been a driver of foreign-currency bond issuance. Takeda, Japan's No. 1 drug maker, issued US$3 billion in July after it bought U.S. rival Nycomed last year. Takeda issued the bonds to repay a short-term loan for its acquisition, analysts said.
Japan's major banks have also taken to foreign-currency bonds this year, as they raise funds to meet the demands of their growing lending operations overseas.
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group's banking unit issued US$6 billion in dollar bonds this year, while Mizuho Financial Group raised US$1.5 billion.
The solid reputation of Japanese companies is a lure for bond investors. "Japanese companies are considered credible and draw strong appetite among foreign investors," said Masaki Inoue, head of debt capital markets at J.P. Morgan Securities Japan.
Bankers also say companies with high credit ratings can raise cash in larger amounts overseas than they can in the Japanese primary market. That's because overseas investors are more willing to take credit risks than Japanese domestic investors.
Japanese foreign-currency debt is attracting some of the appetite of investors that traditionally bought European debt, bankers say. "As issuance by European players has shrunk, sizable demands from U.S. investors haven't been met," said Mr. Fujikawa of Citi, noting that Japanese companies are becoming a significant source of bonds for institutional investors.

The smartphone battle continues to heat up as it seems a new phone comes on the market every few months. Sometimes it feels like every week.
Here's a comparison of two of the hottest phones on the market, the iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy II:
The Galaxy S II is one of the thinnest Androids out there, which is nice to hear. Although, it still doesn't beat the size of the new iPhone. Overall, the Galaxy S II is considerably larger due to its display but beats out the iPhone in weight by .13 ounces.
The Galaxy S II has a larger screen then the iPhone 4S by a full inch. However, the iPhone 4S boasts a better resolution than the Galaxy S II, which means a higher pixel density. Overall, the iPhone wins again but it is hard to choose between two awesome touchscreen displays.
Now that's a scary topic. The iPhone 4S will put you back $199 for the 16GB, $299 for the 32GB and $399 for the 64GB, but only for new contracts or those eligible for upgrades. Otherwise, price jumps between $600-800 depending on carriers and the GB. The Galaxy S II starts at $199.99 with AT&T and T-Mobile has it for $299.99. Sprint carries the Galaxy S II for the same price as AT&T with a new contract.
Camera and Video
Other than the awesome Siri, the biggest iPhone 4S upgrade is the rear-facing camera with a custom lens and f/2.4 aperture. The Galaxy S II camera matches the iPhone 4S and the details continue to be the same with an LED flash, auto focus and digital zoom. Video abilities are also neck-to-neck and both come with software for photo and video editing.
Battery Life
Apple placed a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery into the new iPhone with a talk time of up to 8 hours on 3G. Standby time is up to 200 hours and audio playback is up to 40 hours. Internet usage is up to 6 hours on 3G. Samsung added a rechargeable 1850 mAH lithium-ion battery with a talk time that is pretty similar to the iPhone.
Honestly, as cliché as this may be, there was no apparent winner. Both the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S II sport the greatest and latest technology in terms of smartphones and they share a lot of the same features. Choosing from one of these phones really depends on whether you are an iOS or Android fan. Either way, this phone can keep you up to date on business when away from the office and can provide you with entertainment for hours. It's a win all around!

Sage in Atlanta GA February 1
First off, thanks to Emily, Sage Francis, and Gruvis Malt for bringing us a night that makes a flame burning in our heart only grow stronger. Such knowledge and talent was expressed there in so many ways. If you were there, then you know what I'm saying, but if any of you missed it, then you better ask somebody! It's the next morning now, and I'm still high from the levels that I was taken to by their music and lyrics. Did anyone record this or got digital pics done already or something? A fun and enriching experience for us all.
Gruvis Malt jumped on the stage, a little late, but the place was just starting to get filled up. Finally it was packed out and school was in session. I don't think I have ever seen anyone do so much with a little kids casio keyboard, beatboxing skills, and a hormonica. Then, Sage blessed us with his words in songs we all know crack pipes, broken wings, smoke and mirrors. The whole set was started with a great poem about the state of the day that went into makeshift patriot, and he didn't stop flowing from there. His words were fluid until the last jam with even more beatboxing in the sound of Strange Famous. Kustomer service finished it up reminding everyone of who better watch out for from atlanta next. Unfortunately the night ended and we all had to go home. Fun Times!
He got on at 11:30 and played until 2:30am, and raged atlanta the way it should have. I heard that they had to be up at like 8am to /drive/ to florida. Something like a 6 hour drive! These guys are having to do a crazy tour in a van, give them props because they deserve it. You people in Florida are in for a great show!

I was also at the atlanta show at the Somber Reptile and the only thing i can say is wow. the show was absolutely amazing.i couldnt do anything besides just vibe with the music sing the words i know and be mesmerized by Sage's words. It was truly an experience. The man who played before him was also very good i bought his CD, its called CR Avery and ive been lsitening to it and sage ever since. startng off with makeshift patriot was powerful followed by my favorite songs like specialists, narcissists, runaways. i cant say enough sage thanks for coming to atlanta and make sure you get back here.

Still pissed at the Steelers? They offered him a 30% paycut with incentives for performance to earn back the lost money.
www.profootballtalk.comThe Steelers opted to move on from veteran linebacker James Harrison on Saturday after talks aimed at reducing his 2013 cap number reached impasse.
Per a league source, the Steelers offered a reduction of roughly 30 percent in Harrisons base salary of $6.57 million, with an opportunity to earn the money back via incentives. (The specific terms of the incentives arent known.)
Harrison balked, confident hell get more money elsewhere.
But will he? Aging pass rushers are plentiful this year, from John Abraham to Dwight Freeney to Osi Umenyiora to, potentially, Elvis Dumervil.
The current thinking is that Harrison made the decision without his agent gauging the market elsewhere. Which means that Harrison could be in for a rude awakening, soon.

STOCKTON - California Highway Patrol officers were conducting a registration records check on a 1996 GMC pickup near East Fremont Street and Alpine Road about 3 a.m. Wednesday when the vehicle made an abrupt turn into a private driveway, authorities said.
Officers determined that the license plate on the truck did not match the registration information, police said. Further investigation showed that the truck had been reported stolen in Alameda in January. Dennis Wilkinson, 43, and Maureen Collins, 30, both of Stockton, were arrested on suspicion of auto theft and possession of stolen property, authorities said.

House of the Week: And the Winner Is…
Four new contenders vied for the title of "House of the Week." Watch this video (or see the slideshow) to find out which home readers chose as the top abode in last week's poll.
Cut from a Different Stone in Georgia: This lakefront property outside of Atlanta, which features two docks and stone-and-wood detailing in the main house, is headed to auction in December.
A Rustic Home in New Jersey: The owners of this seven-bedroom home decided to bring a rustic touch to the property, now on the market for $10.3 million, by using over a dozen different types of wood throughout the space.
Hollywood History in Beverly Hills: This 1930 Spanish-style home once belonged to Hollywood funnyman Joe E. Brown. Tinsel town charms, like a former film projection room and a suede-upholstered bedroom, are included.
A Bachelor Pad in Midtown: The owner of this floor-through apartment was a bachelor when he bought it. But with marriage around the corner, he's selling the home with a number of high-tech toys included.

2010 Native American $1 Coin
The theme for the 2010 Native American $1 Coin is "Government—The Great Tree of Peace." Its reverse design features an image of the Hiawatha Belt with 5 arrows bound together, along with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, $1, HAUDENOSAUNEE and GREAT LAW OF PEACE.
Great Tree of Peace (early 1400s)
(Noted in P.L. 110-82 as "Iroquois Confederacy")
The Haudenosaunee Confederation, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy of upstate New York, was remarkable for being founded by 2 historic figures, the Peacemaker and his Onondaga spokesman, Hiawatha, who spent years preaching the need for a league. The Peacemaker sealed the treaty by symbolically burying weapons at the foot of a Great White Pine, or Great Tree of Peace, whose 5-needle clusters stood for the original 5 nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca.
The Hiawatha Belt is a visual record of the creation of the Haudenosaunee dating back to the early 1400s, with 5 symbols representing the 5 original Nations. The Haudenosaunee symbol, the Great White Pine, is the central figure on the belt, also representing the Onondaga Nation. The four square symbols on the belt represent the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca nations. The bundle of 5 arrows symbolizes strength in unity for the Iroquois Confederacy.
Northern European settlers from France, England and the Netherlands interacted with the Haudenosaunee as a separate diplomatic power. The success of the confederation showed the colonists that the Greek confederacies they had read about in the histories of Polybius were a viable political alternative to monarchy. The symbolism of the Great Tree of Peace and eagle sitting on its top were adopted as national icons during the American Revolution.
Background: Government
Some early narratives by explorers and missionaries introduced Europe to Native American societies which practiced equality and democratic self-government. These narratives quickly found their way into classics of European thought, including Sir Thomas More's "Utopia" and Montaigne's "Essays." John Locke cited the Huron election of its chiefs in his refutation of the Divine Right of Kings.
When the newly independent Americans devised a continental government, they may have seen in these native societies living examples of the successful confederacies that they admired in the ancient Greek histories. Many tribal groups established confederations often based on linguistic affinity. One of the most famous and powerful of these Native leagues was the Iroquois Confederacy, known to its members as the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) or the Six Nations.

PINOLE -- The bocce match at Pinole Senior Village briefly came to a stop Friday as Bella the therapy dog made the rounds of the adult day care room, dishing out affection and getting lots in return.
"Bella is so important; she's so precious," said Alice Parks, a resident of the Pinole Assisted Living Community, one of two residential programs at Pinole Senior Village -- the other is the Compass Rose Memory Care Program for people with Alzheimer's. "She's the sweetest dog in the world."
But after this month, Parks and other seniors will no longer be able to enjoy the company of the 7½-year-old chocolate lab-border collie mix because there will be no more adult day care program at Pinole Senior Village. The program does not sustain itself financially, and so it faces elimination. The last day will be Dec. 28.
"We're all crying," said Bernice Jorden, 77, of Richmond, who commutes to the day care two or three days a weeks via paratransit.
What will she do when it closes?
"Twiddle my thumbs. I don't know," she said.
The Adult Day Services Network of Contra Costa lists three other adult day care programs in West Contra Costa: in El Cerrito, El Sobrante and Richmond.
But Jorden likes the one at Pinole Senior Village.
"The staff treats us like adults, like decent people," she said. "Not like we're 2 years old."
"A lot of people talk down to older people," Jorden continued. "Here, they don't."
After bocce, the group, a mix of Memory Care and Assisted Living residents and day care commuters, sang songs, followed by exercise and lunch. In the afternoon, there was Bingo. Other days there is poetry, storytelling, art, crafts, balloon games, a movie and other activities.
And then there are the visits from Bella. Alena Falcon, the adult day care director and the dog's owner, said Bella loves to be touched, and that gives her residents satisfaction.
"They pet her and love her," Falcon said. "She offers them warmth, soft fur, comfort and validation that they can offer love and get it back in return."
The adult day care program has lost money for years, prompting the unfortunate but necessary recent decision to phase it out, said Peter Murray, a member of the governing board and also a Pinole councilman.
"You can't subsidize a program like this when your revenues are what they are," Murray said.
Pinole Senior Village is run under contract by Westmont Living, operator of 10 senior communities in California and Oregon. Pinole Senior Village also offers a short-term respite program under which family members can place a senior for as little as two days and as long as several months, and a rehabilitation program for seniors recovering from illness or other medical issues.
Specific financial details of the adult day care program were not immediately available last week. But Murray and on-site officials agree that low attendance has hurt the program.
Currently, 21 people from as far away as Walnut Creek, El Cerrito and Richmond are on the adult day care roster, with about 13 or 14 attending on a good day, said Deborah Whitecotton, the senior village's executive director. About 10 percent live in the senior village and pay $25 a day for adult day care. Non-senior village residents pay $60 a day, or $37 for four hours. The rates include lunch.
Why more seniors don't use the center baffles John Neyhouse, of Pinole, who brought his wife of more than 50 years, Charlotte, to the center Friday.
"The rates here for the day care are much better than if you have a caregiver come to your house, (for) at least $20 an hour," said Neyhouse.
For an eight-hour day, that would come out to at least $160 for the in-home caregiver, compared with $60 for the 8 a.m.-to-4 p.m. cost of adult day care for nonresidents of Pinole Senior Village.
"You can't beat the economics," Neyhouse said. "It's really a shame that they're closing it."

• What's going on now that the harvest is in? Well, the Eagle County Conservation District is hosting the up-coming State Conservation District Convention Nov. 12-15 at the Marriot Mountain Resort in Vail. The Colorado Association of Conservation Districts is the governing body for all conservation districts in Colorado. This is the time for all the district directors and volunteers to brush up on forestry, soil, water, renewable energy and rangeland education. Encana will be presenting on oil and gas. The Bureau of Land Management, the governor's office, the state climatologist, the Colorado River District and the Colorado Energy Department are among some of the other seminar presenters. For more information, please go to the CACD website at share.us-conservation.org/SW/CO/CACD/AnnualMeeting2012.
• Thank you to everyone in Eagle County who participated in the 2012 noxious weed cost share program! Chemical sales are almost over for the year, so if you used chemicals in 2012 or need some before the snow flies, please call and set up an appointment. Then get your weed applications in! If you have been treating for noxious weeds; whether chemically, mechanically or in any form, you may be eligible for up to 50 percent reimbursement. You can pick up your weed applications at Corky's on U.S. Highway 6 in Eagle.
There is still time to fight weeds even though we have had below-freezing temperatures. Some plants that can be controlled in the late fall are: Russian knapweed, Canada thistle, dalmatian toadflax, leafy spurge, and spotted knapweed. You can also control tamarisk and Russian olive, two trees considered "invasive and poisonous" in Colorado. Both of these species are detrimental to local ecosystems due to the large root systems that possess a huge thirst for water. In these dry times, these two specific tree species are being highly targeted by the State for eradication. They are most often at home along strategic waterways and wetland areas, gradually over-running native Cottonwoods and other riparian plant species. In fact, you can see hundreds of dead Russian olives and tamarisks along the Colorado River watershed west of Rifle, along the Interstate 70 corridor, which were recently targeted and sprayed.
• Standby for more information on the Eagle County Conservation District's Annual Meeting, which is tentatively set for Jan. 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. Many people look forward to the great speakers we always have and dinner will be provided free of charge as well!
For any questions or additional information, please feel free to contact Katie Langdon at 970-390-1983.

HOUSTON -- Just when many had left the Warriors for dead, they gave us a reminder of why they once were on the cusp of joining the West's best.
One game after getting blown out at home, an "embarrassing" end to a seven-game homestand, the Warriors blasted the Houston Rockets 108-78 Sunday. It was about as clutch a victory as they've pulled off all season and their first road win over a team with a winning record since Dec. 26 at Utah.
"I believe in my guys, and I know this team is not going to panic," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "We are going to stay true to who we are. ... This is a special group."
The Warriors moved 11/2 games ahead of Houston for the No. 6 playoff seed in the Western Conference standings and changed the tenor of this three-game trip, which continues Monday in New Orleans.
Warriors point guard Stephen Curry finished with 29 points and 11 assists, and backcourt mate Klay Thompson scored 26 points. The two combined to knock down 11 of the Warriors' 13 3-pointers.
This came against the same Rockets team that delivered a smack down the last time the Warriors were in the Toyota Center, tying an NBA record with 23 3-pointers (and upsetting Jackson by trying too hard for the 24th) Feb. 5.
This is the same Rockets team that followed by beating Golden State twice at Oracle Arena, putting them right on the Warriors' heels.
Sunday, the Warriors answered the bell in a way they hadn't done this in months. They held a team that scored 140 on them Feb. 5 to below 80 on 32.6 percent shooting. Golden State imposed its will on offense when it mattered most, scoring 36 points in the second quarter and 33 in the fourth.
They outshot, out-rebounded, outran, out-3-pointed and out-hustled Houston.
"(It) was bad in every which way that you want to look at it," Rockets guard Jeremy Lin, a Bay Area native and former Warrior, said after totaling 21 points and four assists.
The ever-so-timely victory, which followed the Warriors' blowout loss to Chicago on Friday, was fueled by defense.
Center Andrew Bogut had 12 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks and was the presence the Warriors have been hoping for in the middle. And Thompson did another solid job containing James Harden.
The Rockets All-Star guard was two assists shy of a triple-double -- 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists -- but he was 6 of 16 shooting and had a tough time getting by Thompson. When he did, Bogut let it be known he was there.
"I thought our bigs were exceptional, and we did a great job on multiple-effort plays," Jackson said. "Klay Thompson was absolutely outstanding."
It wasn't just that the Warriors finally beat the Rockets for the first time this season. It was that they did it so convincingly and on the road. It was that they needed a win badly, pointed to this as a statement game, then went out and got it done. And with the kind of swagger that had them 13 games above .500 at one point.
"It was a huge win," forward David Lee said. "These are the games that count the most. Not only because we lost three times to these guys, and also coming off a bad loss, but because of the standings."
The Warriors couldn't have asked for a better defensive performance than the one they put together in the first half.
Golden State led 54-31 lead at the break. The Rockets -- who managed just 10 first-quarter points, their low for any quarter this season -- were 9 of 46 from the field in the first half (19.6 percent), including 2 of 16 from 3-point range. Houston had nearly as many turnovers (eight) as field goals.
"We were on a mission to just play better defense and do it for 48 minutes," said Curry, who played a game-high 45 minutes. "Each time we played them, we got better, but we couldn't put a full game together, and we knew coming out in the third quarter that Houston was going to make a run."
Houston's offense did come alive in the third quarter. The Rockets, who lead the league in 3-pointers made per game, made five in the third.
Lin got things going with a 3-pointer from the right wing, sparking a 17-5 run by the Rockets that Lin and Harden capped with back-to-back 3-pointers. Golden State's advantage was down to 59-48 with 7:01 left in the third.
The lead was down to 62-57 after a driving layup by Lin at the 4:40 mark, but the Warriors backcourt fended off the Rockets.
Curry followed a Thompson jumper with a 3-pointer, putting Golden State up 67-57. After another stop, Thompson hit another 3-pointer, pushing the Warriors' lead to 13. The Warriors led 75-60 heading into the fourth quarter after holding the Rockets scoreless on five shots over the final 2:55 of the third.
Houston guard Carlos Delfino scored nine straight points to get the Rockets fans thinking about a dramatic comeback. His three-point play with 8:30 left in regulation had the Warriors lead looking vulnerable at 79-69.
But after a Bogut bucket, Thompson connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to push the Warriors' lead to 18 at the 6:39 mark. That all but sealed it.
Perhaps Thompson's biggest shots of the season, they were made possible by three consecutive stops by the Warriors defense.
"I thought we were great," Jackson said of his team's defense. "We were alert, aware, paid attention to details, we contested shots, we got back to the paint, we rebounded. It was just a thing of beauty."
Warriors (38-30) at New Orleans (22-45), 5 p.m. CSNBA

Rescuers find missing 9-year-old autistic boy
Published: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 11:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 11:49 p.m.
A missing 9-year-old autistic boy described as "fairly seriously handicapped" was found just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday by a fire department search team after an intense four-hour search.
The search team found Arik Hamilton on a bank of the Mills River. At 12:30 a.m., the boy was being evaluated by EMS for possible hypothermia, but was alert and appeared to be OK, said Capt. Tim Gordon with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Arik was reported missing by his parents at about 8:15 p.m. Monday. The Henderson County Sheriff's Office and personnel from multiple agencies searched a 2-mile area around Village Drive off of South Mills River Road in Mills River.
At 11:45 p.m., they had no leads. Rescue personnel initially searched the immediate area but did not find any signs of the boy, Gordon said. They checked residences and vehicles without any luck.
The Hendersonville Police Department brought in a bloodhound but also found no sign of Arik. A N.C. Highway Patrol helicopter flew over the area shortly before midnight with infrared technology. More manpower was also called in to search.
Gordon, serving as incident commander, said they were told that Arik would hide if his name was called.
Also assisting with the search were the Henderson County Rescue Squad and the Mills River, Etowah-Horse Shoe, Mountain Home, Fletcher, North Transylvania and Skyland fire departments.

If memories of being pummeled by Jon Gruden in Super Bowl XXXVII weren't painful enough for former Raiders coach Bill Callahan, there is now this: former players implying that he might have sabotaged his own team in the 48-21 loss to Tampa Bay.
Tim Brown, the Raiders' nine-time Pro Bowl selection and third-time nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, said Monday on Sirius XM Radio that he believed Callahan "sabotaged" the Super Bowl by altering the game plan 36 hours before kickoff. Brown based his claim, on part, because of the relationship Callahan shared with Gruden, who had hired Callahan to be the Raiders offensive coordinator.
"We all called it sabotage, because Callahan and Gruden was good friends, and Callahan had a big problem with the Raiders, hated the Raiders, and only came because Gruden made him come," Brown said.
Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, speaking by phone with ESPN on Tuesday, sided with Brown, adding, "I was very surprised he waited until the last second and a lot of the players, they were surprised also. So, in a way, maybe because he didn't like the Raiders he decided that, 'Hey, look, maybe we should sabotage this a little bit and let Jon Gruden go out and win one.' "
Callahan, who currently is the Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator, released a statement Tuesday night, saying, "I am shocked, saddened and outraged by Tim Brown's allegations and Jerry Rice's support of those allegations.
"Any suggestion that I would undermine the integrity of the sport that I love and dedicated my life to, or dishonor the commitment I made to our players, coaches and fans, is flat out wrong," Callahan said in the statement. "I think it would be in the best interests of all including the game America loves that these allegations be retracted immediately."
Brown said Callahan's game-plan switch left center Barret Robbins so disturbed it may have been the catalyst to his infamous trip to Mexico on Friday, returning in a haze of alcohol and mental illness the night before the game.
Other players on the 2002 team rebutted Brown in various radio interviews, including quarterback Rich Gannon, linebacker Bill Romanowski, offensive tackle Lincoln Kennedy and fullback Zach Crockett, who is on the Raiders' scouting staff.
"I like Tim Brown. Great guy, great teammate," Romanowski told ESPN. "But he is delusional to think that Bill Callahan would give up the biggest opportunity of his life ... to be a Super Bowl-winning coach. I cannot even comprehend why something like that would come out of his mouth."
Kennedy tweeted that Callahan "got out-coached and a lot of us (including) myself were out played. It happens. I just wished it didn't happen in the biggest game."
Gannon, speaking on his Sirus XM radio show, said: "He was a good football coach, I think he's a good man. We had too much invested in trying to become world champions. We all wanted to win. I'm sure Bill Callahan was one of those as well."
The genesis of planning to turn a team that threw a club-record 619 times in 2002 into a running team for the Super Bowl was a 45-0 win over Tampa Bay in 1999. In that game, Napoleon Kaufman gained 122 yards and Tyrone Wheatley had 111 against a smaller Tampa Bay front.
Why would the Raiders revert to their passing personality so late in the week?
While Brown said Robbins "begged" Callahan not to change the game plan, Kennedy, also a starting member of the offensive line, told 95.7 The Game that he knew nothing about Robbins having any such issues.
Crockett told ESPN the game plan changed after Robbins went AWOL because backup center Adam Treu was not as formidable as a power blocker.
In a text to ESPN, former Raiders fullback Jon Ritchie said, "What we practiced during the week is not what we ran in that game. It could have been due to Barret's absence."
Gannon and Kennedy recalled having to abandon the running game partially because of game circumstance. The Raiders gained 18 yards on 10 first-half rushes and trailed 20-3 at halftime.
On their second possession, the Raiders ran Crockett twice into the line, were faced with third-and-long, and punted. Later, a first-down run by Charlie Garner resulted in a 1-yard loss, putting the Raiders in passing situation.
Gannon said there was talk of "being physical and running the football" going into the game but also said, "I don't know that the game plan really changed ... I think we came out, tried to run the football early and didn't have a lot of success."
Kennedy said he remembered Callahan saying as the Bucs took command, "We're going to have to pass to get back into this."
As for Brown's version of things, Gannon said, "We often sit in rooms 53 of us, and the coach addresses the team, and not everybody gets the same message. Not everybody hears it the same way."
Gannon, who threw five interceptions and had three returned for touchdowns, feels the blame falls on everyone who took part for the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.
"If you got on that plane Monday in Oakland and flew to San Diego to participate in the Super Bowl, whether you're the owner, the head coach, the quarterback or the guy that passed out the tickets, you're responsible for what took place down there."

How can families participate in research studies?
"Got Questions?" is a new weekly feature on our blog to address the desire for scientific understanding in our community. We received over 3000 responses when we asked what science questions were on your mind. We answered a few here and the Autism Speaks Science staff will address the other themes we received in this weekly post.
Great question! We hope more families wish to get involved in research. One easy way to get started is through an online portal called the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) at ianproject.org. This site allows you to participate in research from your home. You can also find studies and participate in programs supported by Autism Speaks. If you are interested in a clinical trial (which is not just about treatment, but also diagnosis, identifying subtypes, etc.) you can find more information at clinicaltrials.gov.

Dear Forum,
Does QCAD have a limit to the length of arcs?
I am having some trouble making qcad-pro draw very long arcs. Here is the situation: I draw a square with sides measuring, say, 2,000,000 units (inches). Then, using the Arc by 2 Points with Angle Tool, I use the mouse to draw a 90-degree arc from one corner to the opposite corner. The result: qcad starts to draw the arc, but the arc disappears midway to the other corner. I draw arcs just fine with dimensions under a million units. I am using QCAD 3.4.7 on Mac 10.6.8.

What I need is : What position should I play next year??? And tips for gaining weight and vertical??
POINT GUARD POINT GUARD POINT GUARD! Work on your handles, espicially when facing a press or trap (yes there are drills to work on that). I would check here for the 6-week guard workout as far as gaining weight goes. Also get a great mid-range and a good catch and shoot three, do these things and i promise you will have the makings of a high school point guard
I agree with 23AllDay when he says POINTGUARD! Also to add, when facing a press under no circumstances should you ever panic because that is a sure steal for the defender. Keep a cool head and remain focused. Adding a nice stepback to your arsenal would be nice and is you drive any good? You weigh 103 so I just assume it's not the best around. I could be wrong I don't know. If you want to gain weight just eat more calories than you burn. A +500 calorie is the most commonly used calorie surplus. Remember to eat clean and hit up those protein sources. You can find some good workouts online or the 6-Week Guard Workout 23AllDay suggested. Bulking up will increase your overall athleticism and your effectiveness as a Pointguard. Try and get to 130+ by next season. Hope it all works out.
5'7. Point guard.
But PG is not all about handles or weight or athleticism... It's all about basketball IQ. Develop a great feel for the game!

Point. A good way to gain weight is not to eat junk food. Sure that'd gain you a little weight but since you play basketball you'll be able to burn off those calories really easily. Good ways to gain weight is to eat fruits, vegetables, proteins etc. Those calories are harder to burn off and it'll make you gain weight in a healthy way
|I was underweight! I have tried everything but I am just too plain lazy to do the exercise part. I just put on one pound after 4 weeks of training. Recently I found another app which is really useful to track my fitness activity. I use the Android app for motivade http://bit.ly/121gefn
Joki, everybody is saying point guard, but you could be a great shooter, too. Normally, the smaller players play point guard, but if you develop a great jump shot, they wouldn't want you passing the ball all the time.
But, I would definitely recommend doing lots of ball handling drills. These will help you whether you are a shooter, or a point guard. And definitely keep working on your defense. that is very important.
