The quintessential NBA role player understands his strengths and weaknesses, can do enough with that understanding to maximize the good stuff and minimize the rest, and every so often can swing a game when things fall into place.
This ideal role-playing type would be consistent, trusted by teammates and coaches, and comfortable in his own skin and given role—he realizes that playing in an All-Star game isn't a realistic goal, but understands that, if he masters his various responsibilities, team success is. He will take the latter over the former, and be glad to do it. So, yes: this type of player is rare.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Jodie Meeks, on one of the NBA's less high-functioning teams, played this part all season, with an appropriately understated excellence—running the floor, making threes, finishing around the rim, and always defending one of the opposing team's primary ball-handlers. But were his career-best numbers the result of playing in an offensive system known for embellishing statistics, or was this real development?
There will be unrestricted free agents this offseason who'll attract bigger contracts, but Meeks may be the most polarizing. He is a premier role player who has come to fully understand and embrace his role, or he's the best player on a lousy team. He could be both. No one really knows.
Just now entering his prime, the 26-year-old thrived in a somewhat awkward situation. He was the Lakers' starting shooting guard, yet his jersey number isn't 24 and his name isn't Kobe Bryant. It's uncomfortable, but Meeks owned the challenge in every way. He led L.A. in minutes and points.
He also averaged 18.5 points on a 48.3/39.7/87.6 shooting split after the All-Star break, and he finished the season ranked by Synergy Sports as the 13th most efficient player in the entire league. Only 11 players had a higher True Shooting percentage. In short, the Lakers' worst season in memory was without a doubt the best year of Jodie Meeks' basketball life.
Strictly as a scorer, Meeks is effectively James Harden Lite: allergic to the mid-range, forever attracted to threes, free-throws, and the restricted area. Unlike Harden, Meeks also spends a good chunk of time tenaciously guarding opposing point guards, which is arguably the most strenuous task in the league. The mere thought makes Houston's star dizzy, which is why he generally avoids it.
Look at Meeks's shot distribution chart:
This year, only three players in the entire NBA made at least 40% of their threes, 50% of their twos, and averaged at least 15 points per game: Stephen Curry (duh), Goran Dragic (nods respectfully), and…Jodie Meeks.
Meeks redefined the hot hand against Oklahoma City late in the season, dropping 42 points in a performance Russell Westbrook declared "lucky."
Excellent sportsmanship to be sure, but also nobody can score 42 points in an NBA game solely on luck; what Westbrook probably meant was that anybody in the world's most competitive basketball league can catch fire on any given night. He might also have meant that the style Los Angeles plays is conducive to a high-scoring game, and high scoring performances from its players. A bunch of Meeks' 42 points came on transition threes launched early in the shot clock. This is not a shot most players get to take without being yelled at by a coach. Still, they went in.
But this is where Meeks becomes a difficult player to analyze. His scoring was dependent on others all season, as only 19.4% of his made field goals came unassisted. That number dropped to 13.2% after the All-Star break, and 10.9% in L.A.'s final 15 games.
Meeks doesn't create off pick-and-rolls, and the only off-the-bounce action he stirs is when a big will pass it to him on the wing, then immediately run over to set a screen. Meeks either rises up for three as fast as he can, passes the ball along the perimeter, or turns it over. He doesn't drive or rack up assists.
Mike D'Antoni coaches the Lakers, which means they're fast. Only the Philadelphia 76ers—more science experiment than basketball team, overall—averaged more possessions per 48 minutes. The Lakers also adored the three-point line, with 27.5% of their points coming beyond the arc, third highest in the league.
They Lakers cracked the century mark nearly every game by propping up subpar players up on stilts made of glitter: Kendall Marshall defied logic with his three-point accuracy and trailed only Chris Paul in some meaningless category called "assists per game;" Nick Young somehow spent parts of the season flirting with Sixth Man of the Year without fixing any of the terrible habits that made L.A. his fourth team in three years; Kent Bazemore spent time as a cartoon action hero—a Bazed God, if you will—after being traded for Steve Blake; Xavier Henry doubled all his major statistics from the previous season and looked like a miniature Vince Carter before hurting his knee; and Wesley Johnson shot comfortably above 40%, which may be the most startling statistical bit in this paragraph, and the universe.
These are the NBA's very own bubble boys. Peel them from a comfortable habitat and they wither. With regard to his employment future, everything depends on whether executives believe Meeks belong in this company, or can survive in a different system.
He'll get a nice deal either way, most likely. Meeks is clearly smart, knows how to draw contact, and has fantastic timing on cuts into space, especially along the baseline. He's also efficient, a solid defender, and can space the floor. These are all very good things
But do opportunities like these happen if he's playing on a different team?
Or this?
Probably not. But what separates Meeks from several guys with the same skill-set is this: He always runs like someone's chasing him. Meeks will fly up his lane like a pinball screeching right off a flipper whenever someone misses a shot. D'Antoni's offense has that sort of Pavlovian effect on a few of its players, who most clearly pick up on its rhythms and rewards. The jolt of happiness in Meeks's brain is almost visible when his ears hear a ball clang off the rim. To wit:
And further:
Two years ago, the Lakers signed Meeks to a two-year, $3.05 million deal using their taxpayer mid-level exception. He's now unrestricted and due for a raise. Two players comparable by position, age, and recent stats are Gerald Henderson and O.J. Mayo.
Mayo signed a three-year, $24 million mistake with the Milwaukee Bucks last summer; Henderson landed back in Charlotte on a team-friendly, three-year, $18 million deal. The open market won't look the same this July as it did in 2013, but Meeks has a strong case to receive comparable money on a three or four-year deal.
There's always the possibility that the here and now is the peak of Meeks's career, and instead of continuing to improve he spends the next few years as Randy Foye 2.0. That's a decent living, too, but likely a less lucrative and more itinerant thing than what Meeks—who has already played for three NBA teams—has in mind.
There's also the chance Meeks becomes more than that. What if the second half of his career is a three-point explosion a la Kyle Korver? (The 33-year-old Korver is in the first season of a four-year, $24 million deal with the Hawks; Meeks's agent would very much like the same for his client.)
Either way, an early estimation suggests that only a couple competitive teams in the league have both the need and cap space to gamble on Meeks. There's a solid chance he stays with the Lakers as Kobe's backup over the next few years, but also and always there's the possibility that a team like the Detroit Pistons can swoop in and take a gamble. The Pistons are invested in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, but they're also a mess, and need both spacing and a veteran player who knows where to be. They can afford Meeks' quote.
All of which leaves Meeks in an intriguing but unsettled position—Schrodinger's Free Agent, if you want, a player whose value depends to a great degree on whether teams believe in what he showed all year long. Meeks spent a season showcasing the type of important, game-winning skills that any playoff team in the league would love to afford, and it's safe to call the marriage between D'Antoni's system and Meeks's own development successful. The next frontier, for Meeks and the team that bets on him, will be knowing which one mattered more.

A second-team All-Stater last year, Neupauer moves up to the first team in her final season. The Hofstra-bound senior forward and tri-captain recorded 13 goals and seven assists in helping East Greenwich to a second-place finish in I-South and an appearance in the Division I semifinals. With her exceptional speed and solid stick skills, she defended some of the best players in the state as East Greenwich's flyer on corners.

Some time looking at the traces, I have seen un-known (probably
invalid) create_action value ( > 100 not always same). Also, the
CreateAndx response is bigger (always 135B length in the NBT header
instead of usual 103B) and has some string in it after byte_count
field. This I have seen even when the create action is correct. Has any
one else seen this? Does it mean anything?
The server is windows 200o with SP4.
Any info would be of great help.

Morning Skate Report: Flames vs. Oilers
On Friday morning, Flames rookie Sven Baertschi alternated with Steve Bégin on a line at practice and the reaction was swift. Despite the fact head coach Bob Hartley did not confirm the youngster would sit, many members of the media speculated the young winger would not be in the lineup tonight.
It turns out all of that theorizing was for nothing.
"There was no decision on Sven. Some of you guys made the decision," the bench boss said in his post-practice scrum. "Many people cut way too many trees in this area for nothing."
The Bern, SUI native confirmed that he will play tonight and that his family has flown in from Switzerland to watch the game.
"They've been great support since I left Switzerland, since I went to Portland. They always have my back for everything and help me out with everything. I think those people are the reason why it went so well. A big thanks to them and now they're here and I'm excited about and it gives me extra energy here."
Baertschi, who scored three goals in a five-game cup of coffee with the Flames last year, has yet to find the back of the net but has shown flashes of his high-end skill in all three games this year. Expectations are high for the Flames 2011 first round draft pick but Hartley anticipated seeing the 20 year-old go through an adjustment period.
"(Last year) he was like an amusement park. He knew there was zero pressure, he was not fighting for a job, he could not stay in Calgary ... this year, it's a different story," Hartley said. "This year, it's a full-time learning experience. It's not a one-shot deal. There is going to be ups and downs like there was with Guy Lafleur, Joe Sakic, with many, many great young players."
In regards to today's lines, Baertschi skated with Blair Jones and Blake Comeau this morning. Tim Jackman and Bégin alternated on various lines during practice.
In their first three games of the season, the Edmonton Oilers haven't fared well in the opening stanza. They have been outscored 7-1 in the first period while being outshot 38-29. On the flip side, the Flames are 3-3 in goals scored in the first frame and their shot total has matched their opponents 28-28.
Being able to capitalize on a potential slow start from the Oilers could very well be the key to victory for the home team.
"It will be crucial," Jones stated. "It's a big game for us. There is a lot at stake and while being able to have a good start is something you want in every game, it's especially important tonight."
The Flames kicked off the season with an incredibly dominant effort in the first period against the San Jose Sharks. That kind of jump is what the team is looking for tonight but they cannot take their foot off the gas pedal if they get out to an early lead.
"We need to sustain that pressure throughout the whole game," Jones cautioned, referencing the Flames final 40 minutes against the Sharks in which San Jose scored four unanswered goals.
Another key to the game will be staying out of the penalty box. While the Flames power play is off to a blazing start this year, their penalty kill hasn't seen the same kind of success as its special teams counterpart. Calgary has allowed three goals on 12 shots, placing them 21st in penalty killing. On home ice, they've allowed two goals on eight shots whilst short-handed.
The Oilers are ranked 15th overall in the NHL with the man advantage, connecting on 22.2 per cent of their opportunities. On the road, they sit 10th with a 25 per cent success rate.
"They certainly have a lot of skill up front," Jones said. "We have to stay out of the box. We have to be very conscious of where guys are at on the ice and make sure we're making it a hard game for their skilled guys."
Jiri Hudler showed off his hard shot this morning when he rattled the puck off of Miikka Kiprusoff's mask, knocking it right off the goalie's head.
Everyone on the ice immediately stopped to see if the netminder was alright but the Finn just shrugged it off, waving his teammates on to continue with the drill after he put the mask back on.
"He's a tough guy," Jarome Iginla said with a smile. "He wants you to shoot to score on him and he doesn't mind that. It makes guys better and it makes him better."
Tonight will be the first of seven games where the Flames will wear their retro jerseys. The other six dates are as follows: Feb. 2 vs. Chicago, Feb. 23 vs. Minnesota, Feb. 24 vs. Phoenix, Mar. 3 vs. Vancouver, Apr. 3 vs. Edmonton and Apr. 10 vs. Vancouver.
"I played a long time against Jiri and (saw) how competitive and skilled and crafty he is. It's going to be great to have him in our lineup. Roman, I've heard great things. We haven't had much of a chance to see him. We've been playing and he's been skating before us. I'm really excited to get to see him play and be part of our group." - Iginla on Hudler and Roman Cervenka dressing for tonight's tilt
Mikael Backlund needs 2 points for 50.
Alex Tanguay needs 2 assists for 500.
Mark Giordano needs 2 assists for 100.
Curtis Glencross needs 2 assists for 100.
Michael Cammalleri needs 3 goals for 200.
Curtis Glencross needs 4 goals for 100.
Lee Stempniak needs 4 assists for 150.

It is well past midnight and I just returned with two cars full of congregants from a Moral Monday Protest in Raleigh. In light of our longstanding Beth El commitment to poverty, education, and affordable housing, I shared my concerns with the thousands who were there on the Halifax Mall in front of the North Carolina State Legislative Building. Here are my words:
To Governor McCrory and our North Carolina Legislators,
My name is Rabbi Judy Schindler and I am Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth El in Charlotte. My congregants and I have driven many miles to be here today because North Carolina is our home and because we care.
As Jews, our sanctuaries must have windows so that we can see the world outside. Our prayers should move us beyond ourselves so that we can see more plainly the plight of our world. That is what called us to join you today.
As a congregation our social justice and action priorities are education, poverty, affordable housing, and domestic abuse. Our members give daily their time, talent and funds to lift up the needy as is in the Jewish tradition.
In Genesis, God created all of us b'tzelem Elohim – in the image of God.
This tenet gives us human rights. The Talmud teaches that we were all created from one human being so that no person can say, "My ancestor is greater than yours." The sages say we were created "from the four corners of the earth – yellow clay and white sand, black loam and red soil — so that the earth can declare to no part of humanity that it does not belong here, that this soil is not its rightful home."
B'tzelem Elohim – in the image of God we all were created.
This tenet gives us responsibilities. We are required to create a world that supports, rather than subjugates others. We are called to honor the image of Divine in everyone. In 2012, there were 4,992 homeless children in our Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. 600,000 children in our state live in poverty. I fear what today's termination of unemployment benefits to 70,000 individuals will do.
In the Jewish faith, the highest level of supporting the needy is job creation. We must invest in that goal. Yet when jobs are not to be had (there is 8.8% unemployment in our state, the fifth highest in our country), we are called not to abandon the needy but to provide for them. The problem of lifting up the impoverished cannot be solved alone by houses of worship working in soup kitchens and opening their social halls to the homeless. As faith communities, we are doing our part. We are relying on you, as State leaders, to do yours and not hurt the most vulnerable.
We embrace the value of fiscal responsibility. We want to leave the strongest legacy for our children. Education is that key. Studies shows that children who do not read by third grade are more likely to drop out of school or be incarcerated later in life, yet as leaders, you have cut reading aids in the most critical grades. Education leads to employment. Education leads away from crime. Education is an economic investment.
The Jewish tradition values teachers. According to the Mishnah we are meant to honor our teachers in the same way that we honor God. We are required to pay them liberally and to make sure that their classes are small enough so that they can effectively teach. You have limited teacher pay increases and taken away economic incentives for educational and professional advancement at a time when North Carolina is already 46th in the nation in teacher pay.
B'tzelem Elohim – in the image of God we all were created.
The tenet means that we are endowed with qualities of understanding and discernment. Legislators of our State, we are pleading with you to use the minds and hearts you have been given to work in partnership with us to find a more positive path.
You have chosen to pursue these political positions to make a difference – a value that we appreciate. Yet the sweeping decisions you believe will put us financially on firmer ground will have the opposite effect. The difference you are making is going in the wrong direction. Judaism values debate for the sake of a God. Please allow us to enter the debate with you, so that we can find a stronger solution.
B'tzelem Elohim – in the image of God we all were created.
May we actualize our potential and use our partnership to lift our state educationally and economically and acknowledge the dignity and humanity of all.
by Rabbi Judy Schindler

August 06, 2014
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sparked an outcry after using what critics say was a racist slur against Armenians in a television interview.
During the August 5 interview, Erdogan complained that the opposition was carrying out a smear campaign by claiming he was of Georgian or Armenian descent.
"They called me a Georgian. Pardon me for saying this, but they said even uglier things. They called me an Armenian," Erdogan said.
His comment comes just days before the August 10 presidential election, which Erdogan is widely expected to win.
The comment drew anger in the media, while an opposition lawmaker has filed a legal complaint against Erdogan, accusing him of inciting racial hatred.
Turkey and Armenia have long been at odds over the World War I massacre of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire. Armenia calls the killings genocide, a term Turkey rejects.

I can't say enough great things about these comfortable, stylish belly bands from Oscar Newman.
Upscale Pup carries both adorable styles – the Best Buddies Belly Band and the Give the Dog a Bone Belly Band. Our Cockapoo, Fritz, is going on 16 years old. We don't know his exact age because he was adopted from the local kill pound over 13 years ago, but we know that he's getting "up there" in age.
He tends to have some wetting issues in the house that we surely don't enjoy, but definitely forgive him, as he's a senior canine. In people years he's about 80 years old (using the small dog age calculator), for goodness sake! These cute belly bands offer a wonderful solution for dogs that have the habit of "scent marking" or wetting in the house, due to incontinence and are completely comfortable for your pup to wear.
Even though Fritz is not the perfect gentleman (when it comes to bathroom habits) that he once was in his younger days, these fabulous Belly Bands save our sanity and are a wonderful solution for your aging or incontinent pup.

There's still that melodeath aspect to it, but hearing straight up Entombed sounding riffs from Dead To Fall is awesome. As for the old vocalist... he has a kind of powerviolence sounding yell, really good death growls, and high screams that remind me of Heaven In Her Arms, Jeromes Dream, Love Like...

A business is only as strong as its work force, and the southern states proved to Area Development's surveyed consultants that their labor development was tops. It's no wonder that Georgia took the number one spot because of its Quick Start program, which has been providing customized work force training, free-of-charge, to qualified businesses for more than four decades. The Carolinas, Alabama, and Tennessee were also recognized for their outstanding development of labor.
Georgia's strong Quick Start and Work Ready programs put it at the top of the surveyed consultants' list, along with North Carolina.
Taking Quick Start a step further, Governor Sonny Perdue and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce founded Georgia Work Ready in August 2006. The program - the only one in the country to unite a state government and chamber of commerce - helps companies match available positions with the best workers. Now companies from Alcoa Architectural Products to YKK-AP America are working with Georgia Work Ready.
The quality of North Carolina's work force has been a boon to state business. Magna Composites, a Canadian auto part maker, created 327 jobs this year in its three in-state facilities. Local company Clearwater Paper added 250 employees to its work force. And Daimler Trucks called 540 of its North Carolina employees back to work.
Just to the south, South Carolina proved the abilities of its work force with some impressive expansions. Boeing plans to make a major investment in the state's labor pool by hiring 4,000 South Carolinians at a new 1.2 million-square-foot facility. Its workers are even attracting international attention. Germany's ZF Group announced the creation of 900 jobs in the state this year.
Alabama's Industrial Development Training (AIDT) is also renowned, and the state's work force brought it increased investment over the past year. GE Aviation selected the state as the place to hire up to 400 people to work on military aircraft coatings. Foreign investors are also snapping up local employees Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries announced the creation of 480 jobs at its first U.S. facility in the state.
With its vibrant work force, Tennessee's employees have kept new businesses coming - and existing ones expanding. Comdata, Whirlpool, and IB-Tech all created jobs in the state, with Comdata adding 120 jobs and IB-Tech bringing another 385.

Pure Water Technology
Why Choose Pure Water?
Pure water acts as a powerful cleaning agent, allowing us to clean outside windows without the use of detergents or chemicals. The result: Beautiful, spot-free windows, without the use of traditional squeegees. With our water-fed pole systems, we can accomplish all of this safely from the ground on windows up to FIVE stories high!
Let us demonstrate how this new technology can beautifully and SAFELY transform the windows at your home or business. YOU'LL BE AMAZED!
Pure Water
There are a number of ways both to access and to clean exterior windows. Hawk Wash strives to stay abreast of new developments in the industry and utilize advancements that will keep the job site a safe and productive environment.
Pure Water Technology allows improvements in:
Quality of work we are able to provide the consumer.
Why is this?
5 stage filtration removes 99.99% of minerals and impurities from the tap.
Safety in knowing windows can be effectively cleaned from the ground, Why is this?
Statistics show many work injuries are caused by ladder related accidents.
Accessibility to those "hard to reach" or "dangerous" areas of your home. Why is this?
The telescoping, light-weight, fiberglass pole makes easy work of these areas.
Efficiency in getting the job done, so you can get on with your day.
It involves less time trouble-shooting access, moving and climbing ladders, and cleaning windows and frames.
Pure Water Technology, coupled with the use of the Water-Fed Pole System, enables us to accomplish all 4 of these important objectives!
Keep in mind that minerals are what cause tap water to produce spots when it dries on glass. With these removed, the pure water can be used for cleaning without the fear that it will leave behind unsightly spots!
"Just wanted to say thanks for a superior job of window cleaning yesterday despite difficult weather conditions. Your crew was professional, skilled diligent, pleasant, and everything else a customer could wish."
Mike & Cathy B
"Thanks so very much for all of your help moving furniture! Besides doing a superb job on the windows, you are just wonderful to have around!"

#16006 closed Cleanup/optimization (wontfix)
Make cache lazy to allow test runners to switch cache backends
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Core (Cache system)
|zimnyx@…, brianjaystanley
|Triage Stage:
|Design decision needed
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
django.core.cache.cache is currently a module-level variable that references an instance of the default cache backend from settings.CACHES. Loading the cache backend into a module-level variable makes it difficult to switch to a different cache backend at runtime. Switching cache backends at runtime would be useful in test runners, in order to be able to test caching-related functionality without populating a production cache. settings.CACHES supports multiple caches, but the only way to use a cache other than the "default" is by calling get_cache, but then only the caller has the reference to the new cache backend while other modules (including the cache-based session backends) will continue to use the default cache backend referenced by django.core.cache.cache.
The patch wraps the cache variable in SimpleLazyObject. This allows doing something like this in a test runner:
cache._wrapped = get_cache('test')
This doesn't break anything in the Django test suite.

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
The patch also allows any cache backend loaded through get_cache to register a request_finished signal handler if it needs to. In the original, the signal registration is only available for the default cache, so loading another cache that needs to do cleanup will not register its handler. In the patch, registration will happen later because of the cache being lazy, but that should be fine since no cache backend should need to receive request_finished signals if it was never even loaded.

- Needs documentation set
- Needs tests set
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Design decision needed
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by zimnyx
- Cc zimnyx@… added
- UI/UX unset
It would be reasonable for Django test runner to switch cache backend (from production to testing one) or add a cache key prefix to default backend.
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by brianjaystanley
- Cc brianjaystanley added
comment:5 Changed 5 years ago by aaugustin
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
The argument in favor of this change is:
Switching cache backends at runtime would be useful in test runners, in order to be able to test caching-related functionality without populating a production cache.
Running tests on a production server, with production settings, certainly isn't something we want to encourage. You should use a different settings file, or even better, a clone of your production environment.

BLOG OF THE MONTH: Adrian Veinot
Hello #Swoldier's, Thank you for reading my first blog. My Name is Adrian Veinot. I have been training hard for 8 years as I work towards being the best aesthetic package I can be. Working out initially started for me as a stress reducer; now, though it is still a stress reducer, I feel that I approach my training at times like a scientist or an artist, making calculated choices and putting them into action to reach an overall goal. Don't get me wrong, training is still and always will be a labor of love, but now after 5 years of tweaking and re-tweaking my physique, I've found that it's time to dial in and get serious. Big things are on the way for me. Up first is a video shoot for Nutrabolics, Prozis.com and Bodybuiding.com. April 1st 2012 I fly from my home town of Halifax, Nova Scotia to Los Angeles, California to work with the fantastic team from 1stpointmedia.com to film product information video's about Nutrabolics' supplement line. I am extremely excited, the journey, the job, and the out come will all be a great experience and exposure for me as I prepare to storm the stage after a 5 year hiatus. My first show will be the WBFF May 26th Halifax, Nova Scotia show where I plan to compete in the muscle model division. I am excited for the opportunity to compete against the "best of the best". Even better is that the show happens a few blocks from my home and my friends, family, clients and fans will be able to see me show-off up close and personal. If all goes to plan and I win and or attain pro status, I intend on competing again at the WBFF world championships on August 24-25th 2012 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Right now at eight weeks out my diet is right on track, lots of healthy fish, chicken, and lean beef. I still have some sugars in my meal plan all incorporated around pre and post workout. My nutrition plan is unlike most other fitness types who consume the 5-8 small portion meals a day. I eat a what is called a 16/8 IMF (16 hour by 8 hour intermittent fasting), Simply explained I dont eat for 16 hours of the day and then consume all my meals within an 8 hour window. I don't under eat, I simply condense all my meals that would have been spaced every 2.5 hours into a few larger meals with my 8 hour time frame. I am not saying my style is superior its simply the style I prefer and feel works best for my lifestyle. A sample day would look like this: • 5:30am wake up: ThermalXTC, one serving anabolic state, one serving super fats, one serving hemotropin,3 grams L-Carnitine with 12oz water • Cardio: LISS- low intensity steady state 45 minutes • After cardio: Clients from 8-2 or 3pm • 12:00pm: ThermalXTC with 10oz water • 2:00-3:00pm: 2 scoops protein shake (Isobolic) + small handful of cashews or walnuts • 4:00pm: Egg Whites+ vegetables (no starchy carbs), CLA & Fish oil • 1 hour before workout meal: Chicken and rice with an apple or strawberries • 30 minutes pre workout: Full serving of Swollen 3 grams L-Carnitine • WORKOUT (Try to keep at 30-45 mins) • Intra workout: full serving of Anabolic State • Post workout: full serving Anabolic Window • Dinner: 6oz chicken or white fish + vegetables + carbs (brown rice, sweet potato, Shirataki noodles ) • 8:00-9:00: Cardio (45 minutes LISS) • Before bed: protein (Isobolic) + with cocoa powder and coconut shreds My training regime is as follows Monday: vertical press star complexes and Quad dominant Squat star complexes, Post workout cardio is 10 minutes of HIIT (high intensity interval cardio) Tuesday: Bench press star complexes, and Dead-lifts star complexes Wednesday: Off weights only Abdominal training with 10 minutes of post workout HIIT cardio Thursday: Repeat in reverse order if Monday's workout Friday: Repeat in reverse of Tuesday's workout with 10 minutes post workout HIIT cardio Saturday and Sunday: Off weights, cardio and abs only.

For 33 years, the Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) has paid tribute to the state's most compassionate hospital workers with the Caring Kind award. This prestigious award honors outstanding health care employees who have demonstrated compassion for patients, cooperation with co-workers, and dedication to excellence in their job responsibilities.
Each year, hospitals across Nebraska select one Caring Kind recipient from within their respective institutions to be recognized. This year, Lexington Regional Health Center selected Shannon Hueftle, physi cal therapy assistant, to receive the award.
Hueftle, who is originally from Bertrand, Neb., and currently lives in Smithfield, Neb., has been with Lexington Regional Health Center 12 years. Kirsten Faessler, director of rehabilitation services, said Hueftle is well-respected among patients and colleagues.
"Shannon provides therapy in a very personalized and caring manner, giving each patient her devoted attention," Faessler described. "She goes above and beyond for each patient making sure they receive the best care, helping them achieve their goals."
Hueftle received her Caring Kind award during the NHA Annual Convention, held Friday, October 19 in Lincoln, Neb.

This and That for Saturday
~~~ Gingrich's Numbers Up in Alabama and Mississippi
By Andra Varin
Fresh off his convincing his Super Tuesday win in Georgia, Newt Gingrich might be about to score another comeback, with two new polls out Friday showing the Gingrich with slight leads in both Alabama and Mississippi.
A Rasmussen Reports poll of 750 likely Republican primary voters shows Gingrich ahead with 30 percent support, followed closely by Rick Santorum at 29 percent, and Mitt Romney with 28 percent.
Ron Paul got just 7 percent, while 6 percent were undecided.
In Mississippi, a poll by American Research Group Inc. indicates Gingrich is in the lead with 35 percent. Romney is in second place with 31 percent, while Santorum has 20 percent and Paul has 7 percent.
The American Research Group poll of 600 likely voters in the Mississippi Republican primary was conducted March 7-8 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The Rasmussen poll was carried out March 8 and also has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The bottom line is it ain't over yet. To win Romney needs 48% of the remaining delegates. It can be done but if the three challengers remain in to the end it seems unlikely to happen.
One more thing, Santorum is sending out public offers to Gingrich. That's unrealistic. If the GOP nominee selects anyone other than Florida Senator Marco Rubio the race could be over.
I was just thinking there is a Republican effort to get Gingrich out of the race. Why are these same voices not pressuring Ron Paul in the same way? After all Paul has yet to win anywhere. My take is let the games go on and let the voters decide the winner.
~~~ This is being written on Friday evening and we're watching Fox News.
We just heard a news item which included a sound clip of a woman making an emergency call shortly after an armed robbery. The 911 operator asked the victim if the perpetrator had a firearm and she answered "no". Almost immediately after her answer she added he had a shotgun. I guess that doesn't qualify as a firearm to her.
Of course, my wife said I was being insensitive for finding humor in all that and she's probably correct, as usual. I guess you could say I'm amused by irony.
~~~ Dan Weil in Newsmax.com reports, "Mitt Romney is scrounging for more cash, as the huge advantage he built over his rivals in the Republican presidential campaign has proven insufficient. Republican insiders originally thought it would cost Romney $50 million to capture the nomination, but now they say it could take $75 million, Politico reports.
"And even after that spending, victory isn't guaranteed for the former Massachusetts governor. Romney and the super PAC supporting him, Restore Our Future, have been forced into massive spending to fend off challenges from Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Much of the spending has gone toward negative ads against those two rivals.
"Romney is now reaching out to his congressional backers, asking them to put in their own money and bring other contributors to the table as well. Specifically, he has requested that the 80 congressmen who have endorsed him bring in $10,000 each for a fundraiser at the end of the month.
"They are legally allowed to give Romney $2,000 from their re-election committees. The remainder must come from their supporters. Front-runner Romney apparently has found that his current list of donors is tired of giving, so he needs fresh cash from fresh faces."
Oh, poor Mitt!
~~~ Did the president take the oath of office when he was elected?
The oath is simple and straight to the point. Beginning with the Korean War the Congress has been taken out of the loop. Here is the oath:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Fairly clear, a person needs to be qualified as a natural born citizen and promise to defend the constitution "against all enemies foreign or domestic."
The Constitution divides war powers between the Congress and the President. This division was intended by the framers to ensure that wars would not be entered into easily: It takes two keys, not one, to start a war.
The Congress shall have the Power:
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress....
The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States....
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur....
Add to all the above, Congress has the power of the purse strings as well; no consent, no money for war.
The founders made waging war difficult for some sound reasons. Waging military action should never be taken lightly.
The separation of powers created by the constitution makes it clear getting into a war requires certain steps and has many safeguards to handcuff the executive from arbitrarily placing our troops at risk.
It's time we hold the executive's feet to the fire and insist that the Congress must be part of the consent process.
Nothing short of reacting to an immediate threat to our national security our military should not be placed in harm's way.
~~~ CNSnews.com reports, "Riled by state-level voting law changes that it alleges are designed to suppress 'the political participation of people of color, the poor, the elderly, and the young,' the NAACP is turning to the U.N. Human Rights Council for support.
Well, well, well, the NAACP is going international because many of our states are requiring identification in order to vote.
Many of us view our vote as sacrosanct and don't want to allow a select few to manipulate the system by not attempting to make voting impossible for us rather to making sure those casting ballots are doing so lawfully.
Our voting laws are rather simple. You need only to be a citizen, nothing more, nothing less.
Voting is a privilege reserved for our citizens, no one else. It is the responsibility of our states to make certain our elections are held fair and square. We cannot cash a check, buy alcohol, get a driver's license, etc. without identification.
Certainly voting is an important function of citizenship and we are correct is demanding elections are fair and not compromised by illegal voters.
That's it for now.
Ciao…….Moe Lauzier

Course Descriptions
The general trail directions are listed below and if you follow these, or look at the online map, you will get a sense of the route. All trail distances will be added in the coming weeks and finalized before the start of the race. The trails will be marked with Orange Pin Flags for you to follow during the race; intersections will also be roped to help guide you in the right direction.
Click this link for the 10K course outline
Notated map for 10k course
GPS Data 10k course
10-Mile Course:
Start at the Strawberry Hill Office and face the direction of the the Pink House, and look for the blue flags. Follow the road past the Pink House and make left turn after the parking lot. You will pass the pine forest and then over the bridge. Continue straight around/under the gate. Stay straight until you pop out of the woods and you see a trail to your left headed uphill. Take the left and go up, up, up, always bearing to the right at any trail intersections. When you start to reach the top of the hill, you will notice some logging activity. Your path turns into a distinct logging road, it will start to descend, it will bear right and continue to descend. Stay on the road and just meters after the 2nd mile you will come across an intersection. Turn right off the logging road and you will now be heading back toward Strawberry Hill (if you start going back up, you missed the turn). After 7/10th of mile you will arrive back at the woods. Continue straight on the path back to Strawberry Hill. Here you will pick up the orange flags until the first kiosk at the intersection of the white/pink/red trails. (3.14 miles)
GPS 10 Mile Start
Once you arrive at the first kiosk, turn left. Head straight until you see two blue flags marking a right turn up the red trail (if you end up back at the Pink House), you have gone too far. Make the right turn, up the trail to the gravel road. Turn right and head up the gravel road to the Quarry parking area. Look for the red trail sign, and bear right to head back down the hill to the kiosk. Turn left at the kiosk and over the bridge. Follow orange flags (the 10k) trail for the rest of the race. (.62miles)

2009 News Releases
National environmental leader Jerome Ringo promotes change during Martin Luther King program
January 28, 2009
The United States must become energy independent and combat climate change and environmental practices that adversely affect disadvantaged communities, a national environmental leader recently told a Longwood University audience honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"We all breathe in the same air and drink the same water, so we must all be involved," Jerome Ringo, president of the Apollo Alliance and immediate past chairman of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), said Jan. 22 in Jarman Auditorium. "This issue can bring Americans together like no other issue since the day of Dr. King. It can unite all generations and all economic levels, and it can be the glue that connects the dots. Change is necessary, and we're on the threshold of that change."
The Apollo Alliance, which Ringo has headed since 2005, is a coalition of labor, environmental, business and community leaders working to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, create "green" jobs, and curb the impact of global warming. Ringo was NWF president in 2005-07 and was a delegate to the Global Warming Treaty negotiations in Kyoto, Japan, in 1998.
"Twenty years ago when Al Gore talked to Congress about climate change, people laughed at him," said Ringo, who appears in the film An Inconvenient Truth, based on Gore's book of that name. "The hottest 10 years in recorded history have occurred since 1991, and 2005 was the hottest year in recorded history. Unfortunately, the United States is the only nation that has still not ratified the Kyoto Treaty. Despite being only five percent of the world's population, we contribute 35 percent of the carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and use 25 percent of the world's energy."
Hurricane Katrina, he said, "woke us up to the plight of global warming. People in 2005 wondered 'Why are we getting Category 4 and 5 storms back to back to back? Is it really a cycle? At the same time we receive these intense storms in the Gulf of Mexico, why is it that, halfway around the globe, the icecaps of Mount Kilimanjaro have melted for the first time in 10,000 years? Why is it that, simultaneously, the permafrost in Alaska is disappearing? Why are we experiencing sea-level rise, and Louisiana is losing an acre of land every 42 minutes to erosion?' We have lost enough land along the coast of Louisiana to equal the state of Delaware, and now they're going to redraw the map of the state because Louisiana is no longer shaped like a boot."
Ringo also discussed America's energy dependence. "We're being held over an oil barrel by foreign governments. Seventy percent of our oil is imported, which has made us our economy and our environment vulnerable. We can no longer be held hostage by foreign governments. I often wonder about that day in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit the coast of Louisiana, and all of those oil rigs were shut down and two-thirds of the domestic supply was shut down, and you saw the result at the gas pump. What would have happened if President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, or the prime minister or royal family of Saudi Arabia, or African nations, or Russia, had said 'Close the valve.' America would have been brought to its knees. We're one-dimensional with respect to our energy, and we have to change that."
Ringo became an environmental justice activist after working in the petrochemical industry of his native Louisiana for 20 years, during which he saw the harmful effects of industrial pollution on nearby residents, most of whom were poor. His first job was in a petrochemical plant that made products "not friendly to the environment," including rocket and jet fuels, gasolines, and chlorines.
"We employees were told that if we had to discharge chemicals into the air or a ditch, to do it after midnight since the environmental enforcement officer, from the State Police, went off duty at 11 p.m.," he said. "Workers were protected by special clothing, respirators and monitors on our lapels, but the people less than 50 feet away on the other side of the chain-link fence, who had a higher cancer rate and whose kids didn't do as well in school, weren't protected. I began to wonder why they weren't protected, which began to bother me. For 20 years I worked for a polluting company that was part of the problem. That's why I've spent the last 20 years washing blood off my hands."
While still working, he took the bold step of opposing his employer's application for a permit. Two weeks before it was issued, in 1989, he was sent on a special assignment to Malaysia for what he was told would be six weeks. He didn't return to the U.S. until 1994. "I returned with a renewed spirit, and I knew organizing (for environmental justice) was just something I had to do." The next year he was offered medical retirement, even though he wasn't sick, and he accepted.
Also in 1995 he joined the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. "When I joined, it had 24,000 members, of which I was the only African-American. Membership has fallen to 19,000, and I'm still the only African-American member." Eager to find out why minorities were under-represented, especially since they are disproportionately impacted by poor environmental practices, he visited similar organizations in other states, including Virginia. "I saw that it was not necessarily an issue of race; it was more an issue of economics. And it was more than environmental racism; it was an environmental justice issue."
Ringo was distressed by what he saw during a visit to a sewage treatment plant in downtown Detroit, surrounded by low-income residents. "There was no treatment plant in the wealthy suburbs; they weren't building plants near their homes. Raw sewage was pumped from the suburbs and would overflow because the plant couldn't handle the capacity. The bypass valves would be open, and sewage would bypass them and be dumped into the Detroit River. After heavy rains, people would head to a nearby pier and fish because, as I learned, sewage goes into the river, the fish eat the sewage, and people eat the fish – all because wealthy people would not build treatment plans in their communities."
When Ringo became president of the National Wildlife Federation in 2005, he became the first African-American to head a major conservation organization. "That's a wonderful thing, but it's sad to me," said Ringo, who learned from Teddy Roosevelt IV that when the NWF was founded,
"conservationists were sportsmen – they fished to put fish on the wall – and poor people, who fished to put food on the table, didn't join clubs. Poor people are more concerned with next month's rent than depletion of the ozone. They're more concerned with keeping their kid off crack than global warming or the meltdown of Mount Kilimanjaro. I believe it is part of my divine purpose on earth to make this movement look more like America. For the last 20 years, I have worked diligently to change the face of the movement."
When he joined the Apollo Alliance, it had four million members; now it has 17 million members. The organization has proposed $500 billion investment strategy over 10 years and $50 billion for the research and development of alternative energy.
Also as part of Longwood's celebration of Dr. King's birthday, some 22 students, faculty and staff volunteers took turns earlier that day reading the civil rights leader's "Drum Major Instinct" speech, in which he stressed service, on the steps in front of Lankford. Another 10 members of the Longwood community assisted with that event, and Lacy Ward Jr., director of the Robert Russa Moton Museum, delivered the opening and concluding remarks. Last year volunteers read Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Plans call for a Dr. King speech to be read every year.
About 70 students, faculty and staff participated in eight local service projects as part of the second annual MLK Service Challenge on Jan. 19. One participant was recently elected U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello, whose Fifth District includes Farmville, who spoke briefly to students and then helped paint a classroom at Stepping Stones Preschool in Farmville.

Dozens of bald eagle pairs thriving in Tri-StateUPDATED 7:09 PM EDT Mar 11, 2014
Due to loss of habitat, shooting and pesticide toxins, the birds were threatened to extinction in the Tri-State in the 1960s.Video Transcript
AGAIN IN THE TRI-STATE. AND THRIVING TOO. THE BALD EAGLE IS BACK. WLWT NEWS 5'S JENNIFER SCHACK WENT OUT TODAY TO FIND OUT ABOUT THEIR RESURGENCE. (Jennifer Schack "if you're like me, you think of bald eagles in wide open spaces, mountains and vistas, but their habitat is actually any healthy water source and that's why experts say that their numbers are climbing in the Tristate.") ALTHOUGH BALD EAGLES ARE NATIVE TO THE REGION... NESTS LIKE THIS ONE HAVE DWINDLED FOR DECADES, DUE TO LOSS OF HABITAT, SHOOTING AND PESTICIDE TOXINS. (Sharon Lutz Owner Green Acres Canoe Rental "it's neat... not seeing them as a child, but now finally seeing them again") ("it's just nice to know that the water quality is there and they are coming back because of it.") SHARON LUTZ IS THE OWNER OF GREEN ACRES CANOE RENTAL IN HARRISON - NEARBY A NESTING PAIR OF BALD EAGLES TOOK UP YEAR-ROUND RESIDENCE MORE THAN 5 YEARS AGO. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND THEM TODAY BUT THESE ARE PHOTOS OF THE PAIR. (Sharon Lutz Owner Green Acres Canoe Rental "our pair that is in the nest are named Bo and Libby") THIS ACTIVE PAIR OF EAGLES HAVE BEEN RAISING 1-2 OFFSPRING EACH YEAR - AND CAN OFTEN BE SEEN HUNTING AND SOARING ALONG THE RIVER. AND THEY ARE NOT ALONE. DOZENS OF PAIRS LIVE IN THE REGION. OHIO'S LOW POINT WAS 1979... WHEN ONLY 4 NESTING PAIRS OF BALD EAGLES LIVED HERE. THAT SAME YEAR THE OHIO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE BEGAN A RESTORATION PROJECT. BY THE 90S THE NUMBERS BEGAN TO CLIMB AND BY 2012 AN ESTIMATED 213 BREEDING PAIRS WITH 321 YOUNG WERE REPORTED IN OHIO. (Sharon Lutz Owner Green Acres Canoe Rental "the river, the environment is cleaner - we've got exceptional water quality...and they want to eat a good meal just like the rest of us.") IN THE EARLY 1990S WHEN NUMBERS BEGAN TO CLIMB THE OHIO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE THOUGHT 50 NESTING PAIRS OF EAGLES WOULD BE A GREAT SUCCESS... NOW WITH MORE THAN 200 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW HIGH THE NUMBERS MAY GO. IN HARRISON, JENNIFER SCHACK WLWT NEWS 5 THE OHIO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE SAYS THIS IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO SPOT BALD EAGLES - BEFORE THE TREES LOSE THEIR LEAVES AND WHILE THEY ARE ACTIVELY BUILDING NESTS AND ESTABLISHING TERRITORIES.

Art is an integral part of the educational process at Chapman University. We take pride in giving our students, faculty and staff the opportunity to spend their days at Chapman surrounded by beautiful and inspirational works of art as they learn, discover and grow.
The Phyllis & Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art is not tucked away in a gallery or confined to just one building; it is spread throughout campus for all to enjoy - on tree-lined walkways, in courtyards, lobbies, offices and meeting places. In this way, Chapman has become a museum without walls, a gallery spread throughout campus.
We believe that enriching our campus with beautiful works of art results in a powerful cross-pollination of ideas and inspiration. As Chapman continues to grow in both size and reputation, we strive to remain faithful to the foundations of a liberal education in which seemingly disparate disciplines – like the arts and sciences — are interconnected partners in the pursuit of learning and discovery.
The Escalette Collection is truly a celebration of the interdisciplinary spirit of creativity and innovation that infuses everything we do at Chapman.
