Baton Rouge firefighter Jacob Lewis' family expressed thanks to the community and emergency personnel for their efforts while Lewis was missing, as they prepare for his funeral on Saturday.
"Everyone who helped reminded us in some way of Jacob," his father, Paul Lewis, said in a statement this week. "They generously gave of their time to help us find Jacob and they never quit. That was Jacobs's way in life"
Lewis, 28, disappeared on the Intracoastal Waterway on Jan. 30 after apparently falling out of a boat. His body was found on Feb. 21.
Lewis' funeral is scheduled for 12 p.m. on Saturday at Immaculate Conception Church, 865 Hatchell Lane in Denham Springs. A visitation will be held from 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
The full text of Paul Lewis' statement follows:
"On behalf of all of our family and friends, especially my wife Pam, my daughter Hannah and my daughter in law Jennifer please allow us to use this forum to thank the many volunteers and friends who prayed with us and worked with us in our search for our beloved son Jacob Lewis.
We appreciate Mayor Kip Holden and Baton Rouge Fire Chief Ed Smith for their dedication in helping us find Jacob. We also wish to thank: Texas Equusearch, the Fire Departments of Baton Rouge, Baker, Central, East Side, St. George, Zachary, Gonzales, Districts 4 and 5 and Pierre Part, the dive teams from Gonzales, the Baton Rouge Police Department and East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's office, the Greater Baton Rouge Port, the Sheriff's offices of Iberville, Livingston, Assumption, Lafourche and St. Martin and the La. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. The men and women of these agencies went above and beyond for us and Jacob and we will be forever grateful to each and every one of you.
In addition, we know in our hearts there were thousands of you out there praying with us each and every day. Thank you.
It seemed there was an endless source of grace for us during this difficult time. Everyone who helped reminded us in some way of Jacob. They generously gave of their time to help us find Jacob and they never quit. That was Jacobs's way in life. He always wanted to help and if he set his mind to do something he would never quit.
We will never forget Jacob and we will never forget the generosity and grace of so many from this community and its leaders. Thank you and God Bless.
Paul Lewis"

text: Palam, New Delhi: Services took several steps closer to the quarter-finals after they beat Jammu and Kashmir by five wickets in a Group C Ranji Trophy encounter here at the Air Force Sports Complex. Needing 63 more on day four, the hosts, in pursuit of 134, took less than 22 overs on Tuesday to get over the line.In a very important chase, Yashpal Singh rose to the occasion with a brilliant 61. Yashpal, who has scored more than 700 runs this season, and Rajat Paliwal, who scored a match-defining 120 in the first innings, gave no chance to the opposition bowlers this morning. Seasoned middle order batsman Yashpal completed his fifth fifty this season before Wasim Raza Paray had him stumped for 61 as the batsman tried to go for the kill. Yashpal enthralled everyone as he hit the only six of the match dancing down the wicket and smashing spinner Parvej Rasool Zargar over mid-on. By the time Yashpal was rid of, he had put Services on the verge of victory with only six runs needed. Yashpal and Paliwal added 71 runs for the fifth wicket on a pitch that was supportive to fast bowlers all through. Paliwal, who got Man of the Match award, remained unbeaten on 47 and finished off the match in style with a boundary.Rajatâs partnership with wicketkeeper Sarabjit Singh Lalotra (40) in the first innings very much influenced the outcome of the match. Both added 138 runs for the seventh wicket under gloomy and nippy conditions to rescue their team from 39 for 6. Services bowlers Suraj Yadav and Nishan Singh too played their parts in the win. Both took eight wickets each. It was predominantly their efforts that restricted J&K to 85 and 269. Nishan five-for in the second innings ensured that J&K didnât get too much in the second innings.There were a few positives for J&K but the biggest of them all was the all-round performance of Ramdayal Punia, who took seven wickets in all and made a solid fighting fifty for his team in the second innings. Iandev Singh and Manik Gupta also impressed with their fifties in the second innings.This was Servicesâ second outright win this season, and with five draws and 26 points they have put one foot in the quarter-finals. They next play Jharkhand here on December 29 and three points there would confirm their qualification. They can also advance in case of a loss but then they need other results in the group going their way. This was a third defeat for J&K in six matches and now they will have to win their remaining two matches to have a chance for the last-8.

SacrificeI read with interest the column titled We must share the sacrifices from Gov. Nikki Haley in the paper, and I was very amused. I am a Republican, but I just wonder where they are going to start sharing in the sacrifices. They ask the state employees to sacrifice and pay more. They gave a raise, she vetoed it, but they overrode it and then she increases the insurance. So, they didnt get a raise, they actually lost 2.5 percent. Id like to know when theyre going to sacrifice. The big cats up in Washington, D.C., all have the best health care, even the local people here have retirements from part-time jobs all on the taxpayers. This is appalling that she would write this, and she has been out of the country three or four times on the taxpayers money. Even following Romney all over the country is paid for by the taxpayers. I thought it couldnt get any worse than Sanford; I cant wait to vote her out.
TaxesThis is my message for the people who are mad with Romney for not paying his taxes. When I win the Powerball, Im not going to pay my taxes, either. Im going to put my money in the Cayman Islands. Dont be mad at Romney because hes not paying his taxes. Hes not the only rich man who doesnt pay taxes.
ChosenI just wonder why some stuff is picked to go in the TalkBack but other stuff isnt. Ive called in several times and none of mine get in. I guess you think what Im saying is offensive, but its not. Its the truth. I dont want to be offensive, but the truth is the truth.
Trees in D.C.Talking about the trip to D.C., I laughed when I saw this. Talking about the students they sent up there, talking about how they hope they learn how to trim trees. What in the world does Washington, D.C., have to do with trimming trees here in Aiken? I totally agree with so many people on TalkBack that it might need to be this bad. It is so stupid for some people. I have never heard such things as that Washington, D.C. Those children went up there to learn about the government, not trimming trees. You all can find something else to talk about.
New coachI see football season is fixing to start and Id just like to say Midland Valley needs a new football coach. If they win two games, theyre going to be lucky.

Quarterback Brian Griese's future looks pretty golden. Next April the NFL star, youngest of three sons of Hall of Fame QB Bob Griese, and his wife expect their first child. Surgery should repair the season-ending ligament tears in his knee just fine. At 30, he may still lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl someday. And yet, with all this to look forward to, the defining moment in Griese's life remains in the past—losing his mother, Judi, when he was 12. "I am who I am today because of that," says Griese, whose mother died of breast cancer at 44 in February 1988. "She was always in pain, but I still remember her always being cheerful, always smiling. She was the spirit of the family, the glue that held us together."
Soon after their mother's death, both of Brian's older brothers were away at college, leaving him and his father, by then a football commentator for ABC, alone in the Coral Gables, Fla., house that had once been so full of life. "We'd sit across the table from each other, and neither of us knew how to cook. We didn't know where our meals would come from," Brian recalls. "My dad didn't know what time I got up in the morning, how I got to school, all those things. It was like, 'Who's going to take care of me? Is Dad capable of that?'" Reluctant to add to his father's burden, Brian agonized alone. "We were trying to protect each other," he says. "So I didn't have anyone I could talk to about how I was truly feeling, about the fears I had and the tremendous loneliness. I don't want other kids to have to go through that."
Brian didn't forget that pain when he made it to the NFL. In 1998, during his rookie season in Denver, he began giving serious thought to the idea of contributing time and money to a center for grieving children. Unable to find any local programs doing that work, he began researching the field. "I found the statistic that there were over 40,000 kids in the Denver metro area that had lost a parent," he says. "So I knew I had to do something."
In November 2002 he opened the doors to Judi's House. Since then the nonprofit has served more than 750 youngsters, helping them to mourn freely, draw strength from each other and, ultimately, get their lives back on track. "Judi would be just as proud of Brian as I am," says Bob Griese, now 60. "She'd be a little embarrassed that the house is named after her, because she didn't seek attention, but also very proud of her legacy."
Judi's House offers just the kind of support Brian craved after his mother's death. Though Judi, a nurse, had been fighting cancer since her youngest was 7, she pushed herself to maintain a happy home for Brian and his brothers Scott, now 37, and Jeff, 35. One time Brian remembers her coming straight from chemo to his school science fair. Just 10 days before her death, she threw her husband a birthday party even though she was so weak she had to spend most of it lying down. "She did everything for her children and husband," says Bob. "One of the things she said she would miss most was not being there for her children when they got married, there for the grandkids, there for the special moments."
But Bob-who led the Miami Dolphins to back-to-back Super Bowl titles in 1972 and '73-eventually forged an even stronger relationship with Brian. "We just grew closer," says Bob, who remarried in 1994. "Brian recognized my hurt, and me the same for him." Brian agrees. "It got to a point where he was there for me in any way, shape or form, but I also felt that I was there for him too. Without each other, we would not have made it."
Since then, Judi's House has become Brian's second full-time job. He has given not only money—in 2003 he established an endowment with more than $1 million—but much more. He wrote the mission statement, hired the staff, found the location, helped paint the interior, went through training to learn how to counsel kids—even plunged toilets. Though he and his wife, Brook, 30, a clinical psychologist, now live in Tampa, he spends much of the off-season either at the facility or on the phone with board members and staff. Says Bucs' head coach Jon Gruden: "He's as relentless in building this foundation as he is about anything in his life."
Griese found a kindred spirit in Brook, who was a University of Colorado psychology grad student specializing in childhood trauma when she met him after his first NFL game. "The first time he cooked me dinner, he asked, If you could do anything for children, what would you do?'" says Brook, who married Brian in May 2004 and now serves as the unpaid research director for Judi's House. "I never imagined I'd end up with a football player, but he's very smart, compassionate—and he cares so much about making a difference in others' lives."
By all accounts, Judi's House is doing just that for the children who have been referred by hospitals, funeral homes and schools throughout the Denver area. (Most have had a parent die, but the center also helps children who have lost a sibling.) During weekly or biweekly "talking circles," small groups of kids, divided by age, meet in the cozy surroundings to share their experiences; then they participate in activities such as art or music to help them bond. Says Corin Recht, 16, whose brother Cameron died two years ago from leukemia: "If it wasn't for Judi's House, I'd probably still be depressed."
Judi's House quickly became so popular it outgrew its original walls, prompting a recent move to a new space twice the size. But Griese is already thinking even bigger. He has helped develop the new National Alliance for Grieving Children & Families, and plans to become even more involved in speaking out to aid the more than 2 million youngsters across the country who have lost one or both parents. "Finding new meaning is the last part of the grieving process," says Griese. "This is my new meaning, and it will go on for the rest of my life."

Making good progress at last on my much delayed Sparrowhawk! All that is left to do is the motor installation and part of the landing gear installation. Have already built a nice heavy duty ply box to correctly position the motor. Might get it in the air next weekend, weather and time permitting.
Successfully moved the two elevator servos to the area next to the rudder servos...hated the exposed elevator servos on a nice looking scale model. Used 4/40 steel pushrod assemblies in plastic tubes and it was a pretty easy modification.
Servos are Spektrum DS-821 throughout. Had considered using a Hyperion motor earlier, but decided to use a Tacon Bigfoot 110 from hobbypartz.com instead, on 8s 4400-5000 cells and an 18x10 prop. RX will be an AR8000. Still considering ESC options.
Have a nice aluminum spinner and am drilling and tapping the aluminum bolt on prop adapter to accept the spinner retaining bolt.
2. About 56 amps static
3. About 2100 watts
4. Not really slow but not fast either! Faster than a 40 sized trainer but definitely not bad mannered or difficul. If the CG is correct, it is very nice to fly.
If you haven't skimmed the first 6 pages of this thread - before the thread got weird - I suggest you may find these pages useful.
The model arrived today (a day earlier than originally projected) on the big brown truck and was no worse for the trip from California. The covering could use a touch fro the heat gun here and there, but no cracked wood or plastic anywhere.
Thankfully, the cowl fits. The wings felt a little heavy, but then I remembered that they also have to support the landing gear.
I think I will be able to use only long stand-offs to mount the motor, but that isn't certain yet.
Will have to look back through Peter's earlier photos to see what to Dremel out to make room for the batteries, and where exactly to cut the hatch and how to size the battery cradle.
The elevators aren't as huge as they appeared to be in the photos, so I think I will use the Hitec mini servos that I have on hand, the 5245's. I would use 225's if I had them. Plenty of torque and way more speed than necessary, and they will fit under the stabs easily. There isn't as much space back there as I thought. However, if I use the mini's I don't think they will need to be offset.
Rudder will remain pull-pull. The way they have it set up will make installation a snap. Glad I don't have to figure out the cable exit holes.
As usual, looks like another great product from Seagull. The general quality level of ARFs is incredible these days. Recently assembled a 3DHS Osiris and it was superb as well.
-- Bob
I test fit them in the fuse and don't think there will be a problem with having enough space.
-- Bob
I got a little work done today, getting the elevator servos installed in their modified locations, as well as marking out the battery hatch where it is to be cut on the top of the fuselage.
The servo modification was pretty straightforward... just cut some ply doublers, CA them in and cut the openings for the servos.
Figuring out where to cut for the battery hatch was somewhat tricky. I used the thick balsa "ledges" on the inside of the fuse as a guide and stuck some T pins from the inside out to get a starting guide, then worked from there to try to square everything up, with some rubber bands then stretched around the outside curves to help make a guide for marking. I will do the Big Cut tomorrow.
I hope it comes out half as nice as yours!
I will content myself with the fact that a multitude of sins can be absolved with a good sanding bar and some Oracover, of which I happen to have the exact color on hand.
Haven't yet decided a latch method. Perhaps some magnets and some small ply guide tabs will do since the model will not see a lot of negative aerobatic G forces.
-- Bob
Peter, what down thrust angle are you using?
I got the hatch finished and magnets hold it on very well.
On to the motor mount which should be the last tricky bit. I am going to wait until almost done to put in the battery cradle so that I have the CG figured out and know better how far forward or aft it needs to be. With heavier motor and batteries, I am guessing the batteries will end up farther aft than yours.
-- Bob
You're a go getter!
I've used between 1 and 2 degrees of right and down thrust on mine and have never any cause to revise this even though I used tube standoffs that are very easily adjusted.
With the battery box I just made it as long as I reasonably could and just use foam spacers front and rear of batteries to maintain the CG in the correct location.
I also find that the foam spacers protect the batteries very well when I crash and are very easy to adjust if you try different motors, batteries or even as the weight distribution changes as repairs are made. Consequently I've taken this approach on all my conversions.
Keep at it! And post some more photos please!
That's good to hear, another completed conversion would be great!
My recollection is that the standard firewall is square to both axis. I build my false firewall square (which is just one end of a very long battery box) as well and just built in the side and down thrust by using different length standoffs for the motor mount.
LOL, I'm sure Bob will correct me if I'm wrong!
Mine has some right thrust built in. Looking at it from the side, it appears to have a bit of up thrust.
However, this is subjective because I don't know what exactly is the base line for the measurement. I am going to eyeball it and give it what appears to be a bit of down thrust owing to the facts that the thrust line isn't all that far above the wing, and the wing itself has a semi-symmetrical airfoil.
Keep at it! And post some more photos please!
Some pix from today's work.
I forgot to get some photos of the covered hatch by itself but will do some more later.
The magnets were glued in with copious amounts of CA and were covered with Oracover. They hold the hatch very well and the hatch is centered without the need for some additional guide tabs. It will likely need a small "lift tab" on the edge of the hatch on one side near the magnets to assist in removal, such is the power of the magnets. This hatch is not going to come off in flight, I am absolutely sure.

Course: SUSB-07
HANS CHRISTIAN VON BAEYER, College of William and Mary and RALPH DAVIS, Albion College
May 20-22, 2004 in Stony Brook Manhattan, New York City
Apply: SUSB
This course is an examination of historical and contemporary paradoxes and their role in scientific thinking. Although there are many different kinds of paradox, "In modern science," according to John Barrow, "the term paradox is usually reserved for a counterintuitive finding that is believed to shed light upon something fundamental." By contrast, logical and linguistic paradoxes usually focus on the tools of understanding itself while visual and perceptual paradoxes are different still. Paradoxes have revealed unexpected inconsistencies in our beliefs, challenged our conceptual and perceptual frameworks, and served as a check on both theory and practice. They have provided us with insights as to how the brain and eye work and how information is processed, and, perhaps most importantly, they have allowed us to enter into imaginative speculation and the constructive juxtaposition of ideas resulting in a deeper understanding of the world. We share Niels Bohr's enthusiasm: "How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress."
The physical sciences will provide such examples as Olbers' Paradox, the Twins Paradox, Maxwell's Demon, the EPR Paradox, Superluminal Signal Transmission, Gibbs' Paradox, Parrando's Paradox, and the Hardy, Vaidman, Greenberger/Horne/Zeilinger Quantum Paradoxes, etc. We will reflect on logical and philosophical paradoxes from Zeno, Russell, Goedel and Quine, to Hempel's Raven, the Prisoner's Dilemma, the Unexpected Hanging and Newcomb's Paradox. The history of visual paradox will be examined from Brunelleschi, Durer, de Vries and Hogarth, to Reutersvard, Dali, Penrose and Escher highlighting our Euclidian/Renaissance conventions of seeing and graphic representation. Also included will be less formal but equally paradoxical topics such as free will, dreaming, the nuclear defense strategy of "mutually assured destruction," and the grandfather paradoxes of time travel. Time permitting, the sophisticated and highly suggestive writings of such authors as Augustine, Borges, Carroll and Wells will provide examples from yet a different perspective. The topic of paradox and scientific thinking is too broad to cover in a short period of time. Thus, in selecting material for presentation and discussion we will try to take Bertrand Russell's advice "...to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it." A very modest Suggested Reading List will be provided.
For college teachers of: all disciplines. Prerequisites: none.
Dr. von Baeyer is Professor of Physics at the College of William and Mary. Dr. Davis is Professor of Philosophy at Albion College.

"I was right at the bay, by the pine tree, 25 yards out." Palafox said. "I saw the crater, a big blow out. I let it crawl out and I almost lost it. It crawled up my arm and shot me with ink. I had to move off to the side, and I just grabbed it."
After weighing his 4-pound, 9-ounce octopus halfway into the 2 1/2-hour contest, Palafox stood near the scale and watched 52 other divers bring in their biggest catches.
"I wasn't worried, I knew I was in the running," Palafox said. "As long as I placed I didn't care if I won or lost."

Palafox had never placed before despite entering the event more than 20 times.
"I've been doing this from the day the tournament started, he said. "I've been nudged out of the top 10 many times."
The win had special significance for the 57-year-old diesel mechanic from Kahului.
"Larry was my teacher at Pukalani," he said. "I knew him since I was 14."
Latisha Ortiz, a sophomore-to-be at Roosevelt High School in Honolulu, had the biggest tako caught by a female competitor, weighing 2 pounds, 12.5 ounces.
The Villaneuva family swept the oama divisions. Kendrick Villaneuva, age 5, had a 15.7-centimeter entry, 0.1 better than Dylan Gomes in the 12-and-under division. Briana Villaneuva, Kendrick's sister, placed third, while their cousin Russell Villanueva was fourth.
Randy Villanueva squeaked past his brother Arlo Villanueva, 15.0-14.9, for the 13-and-over title. Randy Villanueva is Kendrick and Briana's father while Arlo Villanueva is Russell's father.
"In the beginning we went to the corner," Randy Villanueva said. "We threw sand in the water, and they all came in."
The Villanuevas switched their bait after a slow start.
"We used aku at first, but wasn't biting them," Randy Villanueva said. "We used shrimp after. It was aged shrimp, the smell comes out."
The 38-year-old Old Lahaina Luau bartender usually dives in the tournament.
"This was my first time to fish. It's more for the kids, it's fun watching them," he said.

Let me get this part out of the way right up front: If AA or NA meetings work for you, then that is great, and I would encourage you to continue on with them (for the most part).
However, even if meetings seem to be working for you, I would encourage you to take a look at some of the ideas on this page. I am not trying to "talk you out of meetings" necessarily. I am just challenging folks to really look at their recovery. The fact is that anyone who is living a successful life in recovery should be making personal growth on a regular basis. If they are just coasting along then they are not doing themselves any favors, and they are also running a risk that they might relapse at some point. �Also, if you happen to be attending meetings and you basically relapse every few days, then you might consider doing something different.
Some people would do well to think about an alternative approach to their recovery other than just "go to a meeting every day."
Let's find out why this might be the case:
AA meetings can be a waste of time
You only have 24 hours in each day and many of those hours are already spoken for with things such as sleep, work, family interaction, and so on. Your remaining expendable (disposable) hours are very precious and what you do with them will have a huge impact on how your life evolves. Given that, are 12 step meetings the best choice?
There are a few reasons that meetings are effective. One is because recovering alcoholics benefit from a constant reminder that they are in the recovery process. This helps them to shut down thought processes that might romanticize the idea of taking a drink. Without regular reminders about recovery, these thoughts are pursued for longer periods of time and can make the recovering alcoholic miserable. Therefore, regular meetings serve as a reminder to the brain to help keep it on the right track.
Another reason that meetings are effective is because they allow people to vent. If you have no one to talk with in your life then going to a meeting can give you a chance to vent frustration. This was never the intended purpose of AA meetings but they definitely do get used in this way. If you go to several AA meetings you will surely hear people vent about their problems that they are having in their lives.
In very early recovery, meetings can also be the vehicle and the location where the newcomer actually learns how to live a sober life.
So those are the ways in which meetings can be effective and helpful for recovery. But, keep in mind these 2 things:
1) All of those needs can be met outside of regular meeting attendance.
2) The "cost" of each meeting is one hour per day plus travel time. This adds up significantly over a lifetime.
Time in AA meetings is not necessarily "wasted," as it depends on what your needs are. If meetings work for you then it is probably wise to continue with them.
But be honest with yourself in terms of how much growth you have made in the last 30 days, the last 90 days, the last year. Are daily meetings pushing you forward, or are they keeping you stagnant?
One hour per day plus travel time is as HUGE investment. If you are not getting inspired growth and continuous progress based on your meeting attendance, then it is likely a waste of your time.
Results speak for themselves, but of course, you have to be truly honest with yourself. It can be easy to coast along, become stagnant, but still pat yourself on the back for not relapsing. Are you really growing though?
AA meetings can detract from what your real priorities should be in recovery
What is the long term goal in recovery?
In my opinion the answer is personal growth.
That is why anyone who is attending meetings on a regular basis but feels like they are stuck in a rut needs to take action in order to jump-start their recovery.
The point of recovery is not to abstain and sit in meetings all day. The point of recovery is to recover a life of purpose and meaningful growth. There is a tendency in AA to focus on one type of growth at the expense of all others. Spiritual growth is the only kind that matters in the program of AA.
But in "real world recovery," there are huge benefits from looking into other types of personal growth. For example, exercise and physical fitness can have a huge, positive impact on recovery. The 12 step program does not acknowledge or admit this. It has no need to, because the solution in AA is narrowed down to "spiritual growth."
The real solution in recovery is bigger than that; more powerful. Holistic growth is the key to a successful life in recovery, and it includes the idea of spiritual growth as well.
AA meetings are effective because they narrow the focus down so much and give concentrated help in one specific area. If you have two weeks of sobriety then you can get huge benefit from an AA meeting. But after two years or twenty years in recovery, are one hour meetings every day really giving you the exact help and guidance that you need to keep making forward progress in your life? Sure, you can still get value from any AA meeting, but that is not the point. The point is, how are you spending your precious hours every day?
For people who have mastered the basics in recovery, sitting in a meeting every day becomes an excuse for inaction. Your real priority in recovery should shift to one of personal growth. New goals should appear in your life or you should find more meaning and purpose in other ways. That is not to say that you *have* to leave AA as you move into long term recovery. It merely means that you need to make a conscious choice about how you are spending your time, and if the daily AA meeting is the best way for you keep growing in your recovery.
For some people, the daily meeting is a great way for them to experience growth. Maybe they actively sponsor people, chair meetings, get involved, make a real impact. But many people do not take it to that level, and instead just coast by, using daily meetings as a sort of life preserver to keep them sober. This is not real recovery and that is not real personal growth.
So yes, you CAN keep going to AA meetings in long term recovery. But don't do it because you NEED to in order to stay sober. If that is the case, your recovery needs work.
AA meetings are fine. But dependency on AA meetings is not good. Personal growth is the goal, not just stability.
AA meetings might not be your best venue for helping others in recovery
Why help others in recovery? Why not just help yourself and focus on your own sobriety?
The reason is because helping others in recovery is one of the highest-impact things you can do for your recovery. There is little else that you could do to strengthen your recovery more than helping others. This is true both in and out of AA.
So you have to ask yourself: "Can I help others most effectively inside of AA meetings, or outside of them?"
The key is to be honest with yourself. Don't fall into the trap of getting some clean time, prattling on at meetings like a guru, and feeling your ego stroked while all the newcomers look up to you. Yes, you want to help others in recovery. But, if you are doing it in meetings every day to stroke your own ego, then that is a problem. It can be easy to fall victim to "big-shotism" in AA when you get a few years sober, depending on what meetings you may attend. Old-timers are rare, but newcomers abound.
Going to AA meetings and sharing your experience is one way to help recovering alcoholics. But there are other ways. What you should do is to consider your own unique strengths and talents, and see how you can best use those to reach out to others in recovery. This may or may not be best suited for AA meetings. (For example, maybe you excel in one-on-one interactions rather than speaking in front of groups, etc.).
AA meetings can become a daily routine and an excuse to stop taking real action and making real growth in recovery
This is the main caution that I want you to take from this article. I am not trying to talk you out of meetings….rather, I am trying to get people to consciously choose meetings if they are going to keep going to them.
Remember that your real goal in recovery is not merely abstinence but instead it is continuous personal growth. AA meetings might be pushing you to make that growth, but they might also be keeping you stuck in a way.
It is easy to fall into a pattern of complacency if you attend daily meetings. This becomes especially true as you start to accumulate more sober time. Due to the massive attrition rate of modern day AA, this means that anyone who sticks around for over a year basically becomes a "senior member." The constant influx of newcomers (who are not going to stick it out for the most part) means that you can now pat yourself on the back due to your "success" in being able to stick and stay. Show up to a meeting every day, preach to the newcomers, life is good.
The danger in that is complacency.
If you are stuck in a "meeting rut," ask yourself the following questions:
* How can I push myself to grow in my recovery outside of traditional step work and spiritual growth?
* How can I push myself to carry a message of recovery to the world outside of the 12 step program?
* What can I do with an extra hour or two each day that will have a huge, positive impact on my life?
* Am I depending on meetings for my sobriety? How can I grow beyond that dependency?
AA meetings as a crutch
In some regards I tend to think of AA meetings as a bit of a crutch. This depends entirely on how you use the meeting though.
If you depend on meetings to maintain your sobriety then obviously it is a crutch. The question is: "Is that a healthy dependency?"
Most people would answer that it is a healthy dependency to have and is certainly better than drinking. I would agree that sobriety beats drinking, but would also challenge people to choose the route of daily meetings more consciously. If it just becomes your default method for sobriety, your little daily venting session that you depend on to keep you sober, then I think there is room for growth there.
Continuous sobriety should come from continuous personal growth. If you stagnate in your growth because attending daily meetings keeps you sober with little extra effort on your part, then that is bad. Look to challenge yourself a bit, away from dependency on daily meetings.

What a beautiful flash. A sight to behold.
Where do I begin?
I was wondering when more people were going to begin appreciating the quality music from The National: with this submission, I guess I know now. This is my favorite song in the whole game; it's amazing. I want to thank you for taking the time to make an equally amazing video. It's slightly dark, touching, sad, and is a great adaption of the web-comic it's based off of.
The animation is glorious in so many ways. The models are beautifully designed, very nice to look at, and they just have a great style. The drawings are fantastic and match the models very well. Also, the timing of the animation matched up with the song very well, so kudos for that.
I think my only criticism is that Rat Man's torso movement seems slightly awkward and unnatural when he's running. It just looked... funky.
Overall, I think this is possibly my favorite AMV for any song posted to Newgrounds. I also hope this better informs people of The National's existence.
Absolutely incredible job, mate. I had to favorite this. This is one of the best things submitted to the portal, in my personal opinion.

49ers' Smith Checks Into Rehab
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has been admitted on an in-patient basis to a facility to be treated for alcohol abuse, a league source told ESPN.
The facility is independent of the 49ers, a requirement important to the NFLPA because it wants to ensure Smith is treated as a person and not as a player.
The union doesn't want Smith's return date to the 49ers to be a factor in determining when he will be finished with treatment.
"It's not like he's going to be magically cured in a month," a source close to Smith told ESPN. "If his problem is serious enough, a month might not be enough."

Investors Vote for Three Swing States Obama Won: BGOV Barometer
Investors have gained confidence since 2009 in three of the biggest must-win states for this year's presidential candidates. The question is whom will get the credit: the Democratic president that the states supported in 2008, or the Republican Party their governors belong to.
The BGOV Barometer shows buyers of bonds issued in Florida, Ohio and Virginia have reduced the extra yield they demand relative to top-grade debt to the least since 2009, the year Barack Obama became president. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, also among the five most-populous swing states, have seen spreads widen from last year.
The investor view of the health of local economies is one way to answer the election-year "are you better off" question in the five states. All have Republican governors and all were won by Obama in 2008.
"Ultimately on the economy as a whole, the president is going to receive the rewards or the punishment more so than governors," said Chris Borick, director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Even so, "anyone who's an incumbent receives some benefits" from a growing economy, he said in a telephone interview.
That dynamic poses a dilemma for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, which asked Florida Governor Rick Scott in June to tone down statements about improvements in the state's economy. Republican governors in other swing states have also boasted of economic gains within their jurisdictions.
Tax Collections
State tax collections have risen for 10 consecutive quarters, according to the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany, New York. They now exceed levels from before the recession that started in December 2007. Meanwhile, first-time local defaults have declined to the lowest since 2009, according to Municipal Market Advisors.
In Florida, the unemployment rate has declined from 9.9 percent at the end of 2011 to 8.8 percent in July, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Over the same period, Ohio's dropped 0.7 percentage point.
Meanwhile, the nation's unemployment rate declined 0.2 percentage point to 8.3 percent since the start of the year, Labor Department data show. Only one president since World War II, Ronald Reagan, has stayed in office with a jobless rate above 6 percent.
"It may be early to attribute something to governors who have been in office for a year or two," said Sean Snaith, an economics professor at the University of Central Florida. "It's also hard to say there's been some sweeping policy that's bolstered the U.S. economy and, by proxy, the states."
Low Premiums
Investors in 2012 have demanded an average premium of 0.58 percentage point to own general-obligation debt from Florida issuers compared with top-grade bonds, according to Bloomberg Fair Value index data. That's the least since the premium was 0.53 percentage point in 2009.
In Ohio, the extra yield demanded for bonds issued in the state has fallen to 0.34 percentage point this year from 0.45 percentage point in 2010, Bloomberg data show. In 2009, the premium was about 0.22 percentage point. Virginia municipalities averaged a lower yield than the top-grade index in 2009, and their spread has narrowed to 0.04 percentage point.
For issuers in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the yield penalty on debt issued in the state has increased by about 0.06 percentage point relative to top-rated bonds, Bloomberg data show. Pennsylvania's general-obligation bond rating was cut one level by Moody's Investors Service in July to Aa2, its third-highest grade.
"Spreads are indicative that the fundamentals are still strong for most of these states," said Julius Williams, a senior portfolio manager at Invesco Ltd., which manages about $21 billion in munis. State governments "are making tough calls on their budgets, and things are getting more manageable."

Third group enters Al Galayel Championship at Alerayk today
15 Feb 2014 - 3:53
The competition continues until this month-end.
Doha: The third group of camel riders in Al Galayel Championship will start hunting animals from today at Alerayk reserved area.
The group, which entered the area on Thursday, include Al Adam, Bu Hadi, Al Sylalia and Aljadi teams.
Each team comprises six to nine members and is headed by a leader. They have set up camps at locations selected by their leaders.
The competition continues until this month-end. The first team took part on February 4 and the second on February 9.
Registration started last September. Of 20 teams registered, 16 have qualified for the second stage of the completion. Participants have been divided in four groups, each with four teams.
Many Arab and foreign delegates visited Al Galayel headquarters and praised preparations.
A Spanish delegation from International Organisation for Falconers praised the standards set by the organising committee for the competition and said delegates enjoyed to know about the sport.
They said the successful hosting of the competition would bolster Qatar's image at regional and international levels.
The delegation was accompanied by Ali bin Mohamed Al Sheikh Al Kuwari, General Coordinator of the competition
He briefed delegates on stages of the competition, rules and the camping system.
Two Britons also visited Al Galayel headquarters to know about the competition, Al Sharq reports.
Delegations from Arab and other countries also praised efforts and said it is one of the traditional sports. The competition is a good way to remind the new generation about their customs and traditions, they said, adding such sports teach people how to be patient and keep trying without losing hope.

'Could mega cities be even harder to work with than individual local councils?'

Breast cancer charities have hit out at Pancreatic Cancer Action's advertising campaign for using the slogan 'I wish I had breast cancer'.
Running with a print advert and TV commercial, Pancreatic Cancer Action's campaign aims to raise awareness of the poor survival rates for people with the disease by comparing it to other types of cancer with better survival rates. In doing so, however, it has attracted widespread criticism from organisations and individuals who say the campaign is divisive and insensitive.
Delyth Morgan, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign, said she was "shocked and saddened" by the advert. While raising awareness of the poor survival rates for pancreatic cancer is important, she said, "doing so in this way, Pancreatic Cancer Action has belittled the impact of other cancers".
"While the intention of the campaign is great, the adverts are hugely upsetting and incredibly insensitive and divisive," she said.
Breakthrough Breast Cancer responded immediately to the campaign on Facebook last night with a message from chief executive Chris Askew. In a full statement he said: "We strongly dispute any message which suggests that one type of cancer is preferable to another. We believe Pancreatic Cancer Action's recent campaign does just this.
"I've yet to meet a man or woman with breast cancer who would consider themselves in any way fortunate to have received a diagnosis."
He pointed out that 12,000 people die each year from breast cancer, compared to 8,000 from pancreatic cancer, and that more than 160,000 people died as a result of cancer in 2011. "We must avoid 'competition in cancer' and work together to stop this unacceptable burden," he said.
Breast Cancer Care's chief executive Samia al Qadhi said the pitting of cancers against one another was "unhelpful". She said all charities must do more to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease.
Breast cancer charities' reaction was 'stronger reaction than I anticipated'
Pancreatic Cancer Action's founder, and survivor of the disease, Ali Stunt, has defended the campaign's message, saying that it was based on her own personal experience.
"[Wishing I had breast cancer] was exactly how I felt when I was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, with a 3 per cent survival rate. Even without knowing the figures I knew breast cancer had a much higher survival rate, and I wished that if I had to have been diagnosed with cancer it was one with better outcomes."
Stunt added that she hadn't expected the campaign to ignite such fierce debate, and told civilsociety.co.uk: "I thought the campaign would be a little bit controversial, but the breast cancer movement's reaction has been a lot stronger than I anticipated.
"I understand that if you just look at the headline it's quite shocking, and I'm sorry to anyone's who has been upset by it, but you have to read on. We are not trying to pit one cancer against another – the campaign features real people who really wished they could swap pancreatic cancer for another."
Not everyone has been critical of the campaign, Macmillan Cancer Care has voiced its support.
Joint chief medical officer, Professor Jane Maher, said that pancreatic cancer survival rates were particularly bad, and added early diagnosis was both difficult and very important.
"I hope this campaign will help more people to recognise those early signs and encourage them to visit their GP if they have any concerns," she said.

My heart goes out to everyone with cancer. however, making it seem like one is better than the other is pretty disgusting. Think of those (and their loved ones) who are battling for their lives no matter what cancer they have. My mom just passed away from breast cancer at 53years old. So thanks for making it seem like her fight wasnt as difficult, painful or heartbreaking as any other.
18 Feb 2014
My mother had breast cancer which luckily she survived as it was caught early after a routine mammogram, I know that breast cancer is no walk in the park , it's devastating to families and no cancer is easy.
However my sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after four doctors dismissed her, she died in pain, received no treatment and leaving three young children without a mother within 3 months of that diagnosis, I had never heard of that cancer, now I know it receives little funding or advertising, survival rates have not changed in 40 years, they remain at 3% survival rate, yet it is now the 5th biggest killer. I wish she didn't get cancer at all but I know which one I would have preferred her to have.
George Overton
Head of Fundraising

The news about the ad prompted me to make a donation on their excellent website and tp sign up for news about the charity, in memory of my Dad who died of pancreatic cancer nearly 2 years ago.
Regardless of whether the ad was the right thing for the charity to do or not.

Map Craft Activity
Has your car become cluttered with old maps now that you've embraced GPS technology? Upcycle those outdated maps with this craft that unites fun and education! Your child will learn about geography, topography, and basic map skills while creating works of art from old maps.
What You Need:
- Old state maps and road maps
- Scissors
- Permanent markers
- Access to the Internet and a printer for state shape templates
- Invisible tape
What You Do:
- Help your child find a website where he can access images of the outlines of states. This one is a good place to start: http://www.50states.com/maps/
- Have him choose a few states for which he'd like to create their shapes from old maps. He might choose his home state, a state where grandparents or other relatives live, a nearby state, or a state which has a shape he finds interesting.
- Print out the shape templates for the states he has chosen. If he wants to make just one state poster in a large size, enlarge the template.
- Have him cut out the state shape, then use one or two pieces of tape to lightly tape it to part of the map. He may want to include streets or cities that are found in that particular state when he places the template on the map.
- Now he can cut around the template shape on the old map. He will create the state shape on a map design!
- Carefully remove the taped paper template from the map shape.
- Your child can write the state name on the map design with a permanent marker color that shows up well on the map background.
- He can hang the poster in his room, or if he has done several smaller size states, he might want to make a collage of them using a glue stick and construction paper background. He may be on his way to a career in cartography!

The reason? Well, folks, I had a baby. A baby girl, in fact.
Generally speaking, I like to keep my personal life off this blog (excepting the documentation of our potty adventures, of course). I definitely did not feel like documenting my pregnancy month-by-month online. Think of me as the opposite of the person who tweets during labor. But, I thought I would give you all the heads up that there is a newborn in my house so that you'll understand why I'm suddenly discussing breastfeeding, nursing pillows, baby carriers and cloth diapers for infants. Also, so you'll know why I'll probably be posting less in general for the foreseeable future.
I hope to post here once or twice a week, and will also be posting two Thursdays a month over at The Green Phone Booth.
Happy New Year!
A big thank you to Kelly of miskellany for keeping this blog going during the last couple of months!

Jordan Levy is a rarity in Western New York business and political circles: a successful venture capitalist deeply involved in the civic challenges facing Buffalo.
Together with longtime partner Ronald Schreiber, Levy co-founded and grew two software companies in Western New York that were later sold to Ingram Micro and Softbank Capital, respectively. Since 1999, they've continued to run a venture capital and investment business here, through Seed Capital Partners and Softbank, and have helped other businesses get off the ground with dollars and advice.
More recently, he spent several years as chairman of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., charged with conceiving and pursuing a plan to revive Buffalo's inner harbor area.
And he and Schreiber launched a new technology incubator called Z80 Labs to foster the growth of startup companies in Buffalo.
Q: How do you see Buffalo's prospects?
A: I frankly wish that there was an opportunity for a silver bullet. I'm still hopeful, even though everybody thinks that's a bad idea.
I know [spending tax money to lure a large employer] is corporate welfare in everyone's minds. But we need jobs, because we have everything else. We have a phenomenal quality of life. It's inexpensive to live here. It's cheap. It's easy. It's a phenomenal place to raise kids.
What we need to do is create jobs and open opportunities. The startup world is going to be very tough.
Q: But what about the efforts to promote an entrepreneurial startup climate here?
A: There's not really enough support here. We have a long road ahead. The ecosystem doesn't exist. The mentality isn't there. The infrastructure is still in its infancy.
It's going to be hand-to-hand combat for a while, and right now, we could use a little high-altitude bombing to get things going — a big economic development win.
If we could have a Dell Computer Corp. here, a Groupon, that would be great. That would alter the landscape. But hope is not a plan. So while we get started with funding and supporting entrepreneurs, it's really [in the] primary school [stage] at this point. We haven't even gotten to college or high school yet.
It takes time. I think people are looking for some shorter-term success to maintain the momentum people are feeling about Buffalo, with Canalside, the Medical Campus, Elmwood Village, Larkinville, etc. Now we need additional things on the economic front to support it.
People have no idea. You walk into the hotels and restaurants during the week, and they're busy. Synacor fills dozens of hotel rooms every week. Imagine having dozens of these.
That's what we're trying to do, but we need some help to get there.
Q: Is it too hard or too late to do?
A: It's never too late. It's a dynamic environment.
All of these efforts... they all will contribute. But it's not going to instantly change the culture.
We have a culture of kids that graduate from college and they'd rather go to work for the bank than start their own company. Investors would rather put their money in CDs.
That culture isn't here yet. But there are these steps. They're planting the seeds and it takes time for the roots to plant. It takes time to change the way people think and act in Buffalo about entrepreneurs and technology.
Q: What's the problem with our culture?
A: People don't look at businesses with optimism. They're cynical.
Look at someone who comes along to start another restaurant where others have closed. In Silicon Valley, you'd say that guy is a great entrepreneur. In Buffalo, people would say he's an idiot. [Las Vegas billionaire and Republican donor] Sheldon Adelson went bankrupt six times.
We look at them as losers. In a lot of other areas, they look at them as risk-takers.
Incubators are about calling audibles, about nurturing ideas and risk-takers. Hopefully, they'll find the right artery that will lead to the heart.
Q: Can the state or federal government do more to help?
A: I don't think this is the kind of program that government can make happen. They can create some opportunities and clear the deck, such as with Innovate New York, the Buffalo Billion and the Empire State Development Corp.
There is a lot of stuff out there that people can take and develop. Even the IDA (Industrial Development Agency) has resources.
They're all there. But now it's up to us. It's got to be the private sector, the community. There's resources, there's dough out there. Now we need talent.
Q: So what can we do to move it along?
A: We have to just change the mindset so people take risks and there's the infrastructure out there.
It's coming. A lot of law firms will do the work for next to nothing, hoping it builds. We need landlords with cheap rent, but it's cheap already.
It takes time to change all that. That's why I'm not against the silver bullet. I am looking for a quick win. I'm grateful for what Howard [Zemsky] and the Buffalo Billion are doing.
I believe [startups] will be essential in the long run. But nothing's going to be quick. Look at the Senecas investing in businesses. It's all going to make a difference.
It is a happy story? People should be optimistic about the things going on. Unfortunately, people are not going to see the results for a while, and they're going to have to be patient. We're not New York, we're not Boston, we're not Silicon Valley or Austin.
This is hand-to-hand combat. We're going to have to work hard to make this all happen. We've got to keep our young people.
If I'm not optimistic, who will be?

Police were called to a park in northwest Oklahoma City late Thursday afternoon after a body was found.
An Oklahoma City police spokesperson told KOCO that they were called to Dolese Park at about 4:30 p.m.
There was no trauma to the body, police said, making investigators believe the death was probably from natural causes.
It is possible the person is a missing man from Midwest City. However, police will have to attain a positive ID on the body, which will be made by the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office.

You may feel disheartened about your relationships today. You could be feeling saddened that your expectations are not being met or feel disappointed in the actions of another. One good way to overcome these feelings is to consciously release your expectations of others. Rather than trying to change the behavior of others, you can simply focus on loving them for who they are and provide yourself with the qualities you sought from them. You might consider thinking about the type of people you want to spend time with, and then work on integrating those qualities within yourself. If you also spend time treating yourself kindly and making yourself feel loved and cherished today, you will find that you are less concerned with the actions of others.
By releasing our expectations for our relationships, we give them room to grow in wonderful and surprising ways. We often feel the need to control the direction of our relationships by placing expectations on our loved ones, but doing so can stunt the growth of our relationships. If we instead learn to let go and focus more on making ourselves feel loved and fulfilled, our happiness will direct more positive energy to our relationships. With a constant influx of beneficial energy, our relationships are then able to grow and evolve far beyond what we would have envisioned for them. If you release your expectations and instead focus on fulfilling yourself from within today, your relationships will be free to blossom and grow in the way they were intended.
