He was a hard-working man, so this was very out-of-character comment for him, but such were our exchanges on a daily basis. He is gone, so he wasn't here to stop me when I decided to start digging along the side of the house to clear out the grass and weeds to put in a rock garden with potted plants.
After about a six-foot-by-eight- foot area of digging, pulling, smoothing, and placing pavers along the border, I was a little sore and tired. I praised God for the next two days as it rained and kept me from playing in the dirt so I could recuperate.
When I was able to get back outside, I decided to have the kids help me. Since my yard is full of rocks, I decided to minimize expenses by collecting what I could out of the yard to fill the cleared area. My three helpers and I went to two areas of the back yard up close to the house. They were able to collect rocks as long as I was with them overseeing their progress and adding to the bucketful.
Having gotten them started, I went back to the side yard. Soon, my daughter came around to show me how hard she had been working with dark, rich muck stuck to her hands. Looking heavenward, I went to the back to see how bad the situation was.
Two "someones" decided to dig where I told them not to, added water from the hose to their hole, and decorated an area of the house and sidewalk in the process. The oldest and youngest were back there while the middle one had been helping me so I knew who had done what.
Among the many things I wasted my breath saying to them was that if they loved me, then they would do the things I said to do and stop making more work for me; clearly not the brightest or kindest of things to say to them.
As I clamped my lips shut on that, two things went through my head, well, three. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)
Ouch! My biting criticism was not what I want them to remember. Secondly, I thought of "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." (John 15:12)
OK, missed that one, too, in my comments to them. Third, "If you love me keep my commandments …" (John 14:15), which, in the vernacular is "do what I say."
Then, as I wanted to mentally beat myself up, I remembered that I am perfect in Christ, and not of my own energy. Therefore the reasoning behind, Luke 9:23, "… If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
There it is - daily.
Thank God! No, really, Thank You God that You are here to pull me back when I drift away. There is a reason to hide His word in our hearts … sometimes it makes it out before we do or say something we regret.

04/12 Mariner's Minor League Report
Posted 12 April 2012 - 09:42 PM
Tacoma dropped their game against Colorado Springs late (bastards). Jackson took on Tennessee today with Brandon Maurer, and the kid pitched a pretty good game for a win. High Desert spanked Inland Empire. Clinton bashed early and Stephen Landazuri pitched about as well as I have ever seen him throw (sort of) for a win.
Tacoma: 4 - 4
Jackson: 7 - 1
High Desert: 6 - 2
Clinton: 2 - 5
System: 19 - 12
System Pitcher of the Day: Stephen Landazuri
System Player of the Day: Steven Baron
Let's do dis!
Chance Ruffin and Oliver Perez are haters!
Mauricio Robles started for the Rainiers and pitched with mixed results. He went just four and two-thirds innings giving up 3 runs on 2 hits, walked 4, struckout 5, and uncorked a wild one.
Shawn Kelley relieved Robles in the fifth with two outs and a runner on base. Kelley put in one of his best performances over the course of the next two and a third innings that I've metaphorically seen in almost two years. Kelley gave up nothing on nothing, walked 1, and struckout 5.
Chance Ruffin took over in the eighth and put in a good inning of work. Ruffin then came out to pitch the ninth with the game score tied at 3. Oh, the horror... Ruffin was able to record just one out in the ninth while giving up a diaper-load of runs. Ruffin's final line was an inning and a third pitched giving up 6 runs on 1 hit, walked 3, struckout 2, uncorked a wild one, and plunked a Sky Sock. Now that was a steaming pile of epic and classic proportions!
But wait, there's more! It appears that Oliver Perez, who relieved Ruffin in the ninth with one out and the bases juiced play a part in this trajedy. Perez inherited 3 of Ruffin's runners, and allowed all freakin' three to score.
The Rainier offense collected just 8 hits and 2 walks to plate their 3 runs. They were a pitiful 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position and stranded 5.
CF Trayvon Robinson had a good night in the leadoff spot going 1/3 with a solo homerun, and scored 2 runs.
RF Chih-Hsien Chiang in the two-hole went 0/2 with a walk and a sacrifice.
1B Luis Jimenez in the four-hole went 2/4 with solo homerun with 2 ribbies.
C Adam Moore in the five-hole went 2/4 with a double and a k.
LF Johan Limonta in the six-hole went 2/4 with a k.
Youngster Brandon Maurer may not carry the cache that some of this pitcher breathren carry with them, but the kid did not let that deter him today. Maurer went five innings giving up 1 run on 7 hits, walked 3, struckout 2, and plunked a Smoker.
Brian Moran took over in the sixth and threw an inning and a third of decent relief. Moran gave up nothing on 2 hits, walked and struckout no one.
Stephen Pryor relieved Moran with one out in the seventh and a runner on base in a very tight game (1-1). Pryor, who normally pitches as the team closer actually worked a season high two and two-thirds innings givingup nothing on nothing, walked no one, and struckout two. Pryor faced exactly eight batters and set them all done in order. The offense woke up late and made a winner out of Pryor.
The General offense collected just 7 hits and 3 walks to score their 4 runs. They were 2 for 8 with runners in scoring position and stranded 4.
This game was knotted up at 1 run apiece from the second inning on as neither offense could string enough hits together to push across a run. In the top of the eighth the Generals changed things by...
- Eric Campbell walks.
- Offensive Substitution: Pinch runner Daniel Carroll replaces Eric Campbell.
- Jesus Sucre singles on a bunt ground ball to pitcher Alberto Cabrera. Daniel Carroll to 2nd.
- Mario Yepez singles on a ground ball to center fielder James Adduci. Daniel Carroll scores. Jesus Sucre to 2nd.
- Denny Almonte called out on strikes.
- Nick Franklin walks. Jesus Sucre to 3rd. Mario Yepez to 2nd.
- With Francisco Martinez batting, passed ball by Michael Brenly, Jesus Sucre scores. Mario Yepez to 3rd. Nick Franklin to 2nd.
- Francisco Martinez grounds out, pitcher Alberto Cabrera to shortstop Elliot Soto to first baseman Justin Bour. Mario Yepez scores. Nick Franklin to 3rd.
- Rich Poythress strikes out on foul tip.
Game, set, and match. Kinda.
DH Joseph Dunigan in the five-hole went 1/4 with a run scored and a stolen base.
2B Eric Campbell in the seven-hole went 2/2 with a double, a ribbie, and a walk.
Gabby Noriega entered the game as a defensive replacement, but still managed to go 1/1 in the seven-hole.
C Jesus Sucre in the eight-hole went 1/4 with a run scored.
LF Mario Yepez in the nine-hole went 1/3 with a run scored and a ribbie.
James Gillheeney stood on the bump for the Mavericks last night and had a really good outting. Gillheeney went five and a third innings giving up 2 runs (1 earned) on 7 hits, walked no one, struckout 3, and uncorked a wild one for the win, his second.
Converted catcher Jonanthan Arias relieved Gillheeney in the sixth with a runner on base. Arias got the Mavericks out of the sixth and went on to pitch two and two-thirds innings of high quality relief baseball. Arias gave up nothing on nothing, walked 1, struckout 3, and uncorked a wild one.
Tyler Burgoon pitched the final frame working around a hit to seal the deal.
The Maverick offense collected 8 hits, 6 walks, and a Jack Marder plunking to score their 6 runs. They were 3 for 10 with runners in scoring position and stranded 7.
DH Jack Marder in the leadoff position continues to dominate the California League. Marder went 2/3 with 2 runs scored, a walk, and got caught stealing for the second time this year.
SS Brad Miller in the two-hole went 0/4 with a run scored, a walk, 2 k's, and his (GULP) 8th error on the year.
2B Stefen Romero in the three-hole erny 1/4 with a ribbie, a walk, and a stolen base.
C John Hicks in the four-hole went 0/4 with a run scored, a walk, and 2 strikeouts.
1B Steven Proscia in the five-hole went 0/2 with a ribbie, 2 walks, and a K.
RF Julio Morban in the six-hole went bug-nuts tonight going 3/4 with a run scored and 2 ribbies.
LF Mike McGee in the seven-hole went 1/4 with a double and a ribbie.
CF Patrick Brady in the nine-hole went 1/4 with a solo homerun and a k.
Solid starting pitching + Solid relief pitching + Just enough offense = LumberKings victory!!! Yaaay!!!
Stephen Landazuri was in fact solid as he worked five and two-thirds innings giving up 2 runs on 4 hits, walked 3, struckout 7, and plunked a Snapper for a win.
Tim Griffin relieved Landazuri with two outs in the sixth and two runners on base. Griffin allowed just one runner to score (Bastard), but otherwise worked a solid two and a third innings. Griffin gave up nothing on nothing, walked 2, struckout 1, and uncorked a wild one.
John Taylor pitched the final frame, faced the minimum, and picked up his first save on the year.
The LumberKings offense collected 9 hits, 2 walks, and a Ramon Morla plunking to score their 5 runs. They were 3 for 12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 9.
CF Jamal Austin in the leadoff spot went 2/5 with a run scored and a ribbie.
3B Ramon Morla in the four-hole went 1/3 with a double, a run scored, a strikeout, a stolen base, and, of course, sore ribs.
1B Jharmidy De Jesus in the five-hole went 1/4 with 2 big ribbies and a strikeout.
C Steven Baron in the seven-hole is off to a great start this year and had yet another good day at the dish. Today, Baron went 2/4 with 2 doubles, 2 runs scored, and a strikeout.
RF Alfredo Morales in the eight-hole went 2/4 with a run scored.
SS Anthony Phillips in the nine-hole went 0/1 with a ribbie, a walk, a sacrifice, and a sac fly.
Piss on the fire and call in the dogs. I'm outta here!

The System uncorked 5 wild ones! Might have been 8, but I don't know if the plunks were uncorked or deliberate.
Have you worked out the correlation between wild ones, plunkings, and wins? That might prove, at the very least, entertaining!

Over the past several decades, researchers in the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology at UCSD have been at the forefront of innovative, cutting-edge basic research in immunology. Clinically, members of the division have conducted a large number of trials of new agents in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, scleroderma, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Tocilizumab monotherapy versus adalimumab monotherapy for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, The Lancet
At the end of 1999, the UCSD Center for Innovative Therapy (CIT) was established within the division to better coordinate these activities. The goal of the CIT is to facilitate the translation of novel therapeutics for immunologic and inflammatory diseases from the bench to the bedside, with an emphasis on biologicals and investigator-initiated approaches. To accomplish this, the center will initiate and conduct studies assessing novel immunomodulatory therapies. Moreover, laboratory investigations to delineate the pathophysiological basis of rheumatic and other immunologic diseases will be performed in conjunction with the clinical studies.
The mission of the Center for Innovative Therapy (CIT) is to improve patient health through the discovery and evaluation of innovative therapies for immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases.
We achieve this goal by identifying novel therapeutic targets, facilitating their translation from bench to bedside, and designing and implementing clinical studies. We focus on early proof-of-concept and biomarker-based studies, encouraging investigator-initiated trials, and providing educational opportunities for clinicians and researchers.

This four "man" team, coached by Lee Farias, a longtime Bee County 4-H rifle instructor, shot their way to the first place title, besting 30 other teams from around the state. Both Chris and Martin competed last year, along with Amanda Coffee, placing fourth at the state match.
District 11 is the toughest district in the state as the third place team was Victoria County 4-H and the fourth place team was Austin County, all from District 11. The second place team was Wilson County, a neighbor to the north, who also competes in most District 11 matches.
Each of the four team members shoot individually, trying to reach a possible 600 points each, and their scores are compiled into a team score, by dropping the lowest scoring card in each of the three shooting positions; two prone cards, two standing cards and two kneeling cards. Out of 121 individual competitors, Chris placed seventh; Martin placed 14th; Sara placed 17th, and Malyssa placed 69th.
Bee County's team score was a 1560.23. Wilson County's second place score was 1536.22. Each team has 90 minutes to complete all their shots and are not allowed to be coached during the match. They can only be assisted by their teammates.
The top 10 individual shooters compete in a shoot-off at the end of the team competition, and Chris, who started eighth, finished in seventh place.
It was coach Farias' second state winning team. Lee, along with Chuck McCameron, coached the Bee County team to a state title in 2006.

Dordt College News
'Called to Mission' topic of Sept. 6 First Mondays speaker at Dordt
September 1, 2010
Dordt College is hosting a "First Monday" guest speaker series for the campus and surrounding community. The speakers series brings campus thinkers, writers, and opinion-leaders with a Biblical perspective to Dordt College each month, challenging listeners to expand their discussions, grow in understanding, act boldly, and creatively serve God's kingdom
Click here to listen to Dr. Williams' morning presentation.
Dr. Michael D. Williams, professor of systematic theology at Covenant Theological Seminary, will be the first guest, speaking Monday, Sept. 6, at 11 a.m. in the B.J. Haan Auditorium, and again at 7:30 p.m. in the Science and Technology Building Lecture Hall S101.
"The Mission of God" is Williams' morning topic, building upon the insight of Geerhardus Vos that the Bible is not a dogmatic textbook but a story of redemption. A growing number of biblical theologians and missiologists today argue that the purpose of Scripture, the very reason for its existence, is to call and shape a people for the kingdom. The mission of God is the key to Christian identity, the purpose of the church, and the glasses through which we are to read God's Word.
"Called to Mission" is Williams' evening topic, challenging people of God not to be passive receivers of the redemptive work of Christ, but to be active agents in God's redemptive purposes for his world. Dr. Williams will address questions such as where does the believer stand in relation to the biblical revelation; what good is doctrine to the life of faith; and how are we invested in God's purpose?
"One of the greatest blessings for me as a teacher is encouraging students to grasp the amazing scope of the gospel and God's lordship over their lives and this world," said Williams. "Students are often more than a bit surprised to hear an understanding of the gospel and the Christian life that embraces the whole of God's creation."
Dr. Williams is the author of three books, including Far as the Curse Is Found: The Covenant Story of Redemption, a text used by Dordt instructors for the Biblical Foundations Core curriculum. Williams earned a diploma in Bible and theology from Moody Bible Institute; a B.A. in theology from Calvin College; a M.T.S. in systematic and historical theology from Harvard Divinity School; a Ph.D. from St. Michael's College; and a M.Div. from Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary.
The First Mondays Series at Dordt College is designed to enrich the academic experience of students, faculty, and staff, and to create an engaging community learning experience that is free and open to the public.

Addressing static or leakage-based power consumption requires new techniques and standards that fall outside the scope of traditional HDL-based flows. The IEEE Standard 1801-2009, based on Accellera's Unified Power Format (UPF), allows designers to describe low power design intent and improve the way complex integrated circuits can be designed, verified and implemented. This world-wide open standard for low power from IEEE permits all EDA tool providers to implement advanced tool features that enable the design of low-power ICs. Starting at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) and progressing into the detailed levels of implementation and verification, UPF facilitates an interoperable, multi-vendor tool flow and ensures consistency throughout the design process.
Synopsys support for UPFAs one of the leaders in the development and ratification of the UPF standard, Synopsys provides several tools and solutions based on the IEEE 1801-2009 UPF standard, most prominently the Low Power Solution. Detailed information about IEEE 1801-2009 can be found here.
BackgroundEDA companies and their customers had gone on individual quests to address the need for a low-power design and verification flow until the Unified Power Format (UPF) standard initiative was introduced. In July 2006, the industry became critically aware of the need for a common standard to describe low-power design intent throughout a multi-vendor design flow. Texas Instruments, Nokia, Magma Design Automation, Mentor Graphics, and Synopsys showed leadership in helping to coalesce many electronic design automation (EDA) suppliers and end-user companies around the UPF standard. With their backing, UPF has become the fastest EDA standard produced by Accellera to date with the highest number of technology donations converged into a single, open standard. In February 2007, Accellera delivered UPF to the IEEE Standards Association for formal ratification as IEEE Std. P1801™.
Subsequently, LSI Corp (formerly LSI Logic), Infineon and Nordic Semiconductor along with the original participants under Accellera efforts enhanced the low power specification for broader use and adoption by the user and EDA vendor community. In March 2009, this specification was formally approved by IEEE as the IEEE 1801-2009 standard.

The city will activate its Emergency Operations center for this weekend's Honolulu Marathon.
Never before has a road race triggered the activation of what is "nerve central" for the city.
It's used for disaster planning and was tapped when world leaders converged in Honolulu two years ago.
But the Boston bombing has created a new reality.
"The EOC will be open and we will be monitoring the event from midnight, until 6 the next evening," said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell.
Thirteen extra cameras have already been installed along the route and the city is working out the bugs to have them fully operational on race day.
Out on the course, expect to see extra uniformed officers and there will be plain-clothed officers you won't see.
Police also plan to tap its K-nine unit to check out anything suspicious.
"Our Number 1 priority is public safety," said Police Chief Louis Kealoha.
Police will set up a joint operations center partnering with state and federal law enforcement agencies.
The city has also been stepping up its efforts to keep sidewalks along the race route clear of other debris, tents or other items that could disguise hidden dangers.
"The process is already started. The focus is on the race route and we arenot going to stop until the race is done," said Ross Sasamura.
Precautions that organizers believe are necessary to protect what some call the people's race.
"We hope to work closely and collaboratively behind the scenes, to have a safe event on Sunday, and at the same time very importantly, maintaining the aloha spirit," said Honolulu Marathon President Jim Barahal.
On hand a key official of the New York City Marathon-- a recent race where 50 thousand people finished safely.
"It was the largest marathon ever in history and Dr. Barahal was there as an observer. He was able to see some of the things we did there and I am 110 percent sure that everything here will be safe and secure and most importantly, fun," said David Monti.
And a key message to the public: You can help too.
"Please folks, from now until the end of the marathon if you see something, say something. If you see something strange and it doesn't feel right, your gut is telling you something, call 911," said Mayor Caldwell.

One of the great privileges of serving as a college president is that you get to know some extraordinary peoplestudents, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, entrepreneurs, business executives and distinguished teachers, scientists and scholars. If you've been a president as long as I have—17 years—you may experience the joy of an acquaintanceship turning into frequent visits, lunches and dinners, and a close friendship; or watching a young person grow from student to alumnus to career success to trustee.
This winter, in a hard, cold month, three of those special friends of the College—and of my wife Benna and me—died. In thinking about our loss, I have done my best to focus on the joy that they brought to my life and to the school they loved. Elsewhere in this issue of the Now you can read about the achievements in life and the many contributions to North Central College of Dr. Ed Rall '40 (Joseph Edward Rall), Dr. Paul W. Sutton '58, and John Tworoger '65. In a magazine with a special focus on engagement—one of the new buzzwords in higher education, a subject on which our accrediting body will expect us to document our performance in 2009— I thought I might touch a little on the example of these most engaged…and engaging…alumni and dear friends.
Ed Rall, one of America's great scientists in the 20th century, was the son of a North Central president, Edward Everett Rall. When he visited Naperville, he often stayed with us in the President's House—because it was, in a very real sense, his house. The Rall Symposium, which we named after him, was his idea—to give students a forum to present their research. He knew that great science and scholarship is engaged science. At every Rall Symposium he would patiently talk with every student presenter about his or her project. Then, that night, in his 80s, from memory, he would critique each student's presentation. We would talk late into the evening, and his passion and enthusiasm were incandescent—always pushing me, and North Central, to reach higher.
Paul Sutton taught at his alma mater for 38 years. At crucial moments in the College's evolution, when its very survival was at stake, he was the indispensable man, helping to design the academic framework and the calendar we still utilize, creating the department of computer science—always full of boyish enthusiasm, always engaged. Facing the illness that ultimately took his life, nearly a decade after his distinguished North Central College teaching career concluded, there he was in the freezing cold at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater last November, watching the Cardinals at the football playoffs. Paul, whose life embodied his twin passions of faith and science, never stopped being engaged, and that engagement extended far beyond the walls of his North Central classroom.
John Tworoger was among the most successful businessmen to ever graduate from North Central College, an active trustee for the past decade who generously shared his expertise and resources with his alma mater while juggling hundreds of millions of dollars of development projects. Again, what made him such a special friend was his passion, his desire to see North Central achieve the greatness it deserved. We would talk at his home in San Diego for hour after hour. Always, he asked tough questions—how we could save money, how we could do things more efficiently. Like Ed Rall, he always pushed—we can do more, we can do better, we can reach higher. Like Paul Sutton, he was an enthusiast. After a 20-hour day, he was still engaged, still passionate. I will miss these dear friends, miss them a lot. But as I watch the students of North Central College in 2008 embrace the themes of service, scholarship and involvement—engagement, in and out of the classroom—that are so much a part of the College today, as I find great joy in watching them embark on lives that will make a difference, I will never forget Ed, Paul and John, and the joy of experiencing the engaged witness of their lives for the special character of the College they—and all of us—love so much.

Bengals focused on Steelers, not AFC North title
- Written by WILL GRAVES, AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — It seems borderline surreal, a role reversal as stunning as it is definitive.
A year ago, the Cincinnati Bengals came to Heinz Field in December and emerged with a 13-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. That propelled Cincinnati to a second straight postseason berth and sent its longtime nemesis into a downward spiral from which it is still trying to recover.
"I think (it was big)," Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said. "The Steelers had our number every year, even when I first got here."
Not anymore. Not by a long shot. If anything, the gap between the two franchises has only widened over the last 12 months.
Cincinnati (9-4) can assure itself a third consecutive trip to the playoffs in Sunday night's rematch. The Steelers (5-8) need to win out just to avoid the club's first losing season in a decade.
Welcome to the new AFC North, the one where the balance of power is 60 minutes away from sitting well west of Pittsburgh and Baltimore — at a place that has spent most of the last two decades serving as fodder for the rest of the league.
Those days are over. The Bengals, not the Steelers, are the ones with the young and athletic defense. The Bengals, not the Steelers, are the ones with the dynamic running game. The Bengals, not the Steelers, are the ones with the swagger of a champion.
What better chance to show the world just how far they've come than on national television?
"There's going to be more people watching," quarterback Andy Dalton said. "We have to put our best foot forward and be playing our best, show everyone what this team is and what we're made of."
The Steelers are trying to do the same. The meaningful portion of their season came to an end in a 34-28 loss to Miami last week that all but mathematically eliminated them from the chase for the AFC's second wild card berth. They insist, however, they're not going to just play out the string.
"I'm motivated to play as hard as I can," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "I'm sure everyone else is."
Five things to look for as Cincinnati tries to cement its newfound perch atop one of the league's better divisions.
HARRISON'S HOMECOMING: Bengals linebacker James Harrison returns to the place where he forged a career as one of the most talented and menacing players in the league. The Steelers cut Harrison last spring after failing to reach agreement on a restructured contract. He landed in Cincinnati, where he's found a niche as a role player on a defense that is one of the NFL's most aggressive.
PITTSBURGH'S PATCHY D: The Steelers are in danger of finishing outside the top 10 in total defense for the first time this millennium. Pittsburgh is 13th in yards allowed with three weeks to go. The biggest culprit has been an inability to stop opponents from ripping off chunks of yardage. The Steelers have given up 11 plays of 50 yards or more this season, the most in the league.
DYNAMITE DALTON: Dalton is having the best season of his brief career thanks in part to an offensive line that makes sure his No. 14 jersey looks the same at the end of the game as it did at the beginning. Dalton has gone three straight games without taking a sack. It's not a coincidence the Bengals are 3-0 in those games and have gone over 40 points twice.
"I think any quarterback throws the ball better when there's not a lot of people around him," Dalton said. "Our line has done a good job, and we have to keep that going."
BALANCE WITH BELL: The Steelers rank just 31st in the league in yards rushing, though they insist they're happy with the ground game. Rookie Le'Veon Bell is averaging over 90 yards from scrimmage per game thanks in part to his versatility. He already has 39 receptions, most of them on what are basically extended handoffs.
GREEN VS. TAYLOR: Green has emerged as one of the top wide receivers in the league, but he's had trouble at times against Pittsburgh veteran cornerback Ike Taylor. Green caught six passes for just 41 yards in a 20-10 victory over the Steelers at home back in September. If Taylor can keep Green under wraps, the Steelers have a chance to postpone Cincinnati's party, at least for a bit.

The drug death case involving an Ames man will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Des Moines Register reports that Marcus Burrage was given 20 years in prison for selling heroin in April 2010 to a Nevada man who later died.
Burrage's attorney, Angela Campbell, says in the appeal that the trial judge improperly instructed the jury about what was necessary to prove Burrage guilty of causing the death of Joshua Banka. A state medical examiner says Banka died of a mixed drug intoxication that included heroin.
The appeal documents say the judge should have told Burrage's jury that in order for Burrage to be found guilty, prosecutors had to prove that the heroin was the sole cause of Banka's death, not just a contributing cause.

Council praises Wellness Center
The Parsons City Council praised the success of the Wellness Center, noting the facility is exploding with business as a result of various clubs and activities available for city residents.
Several council members attributed the success of the center to Jess Hudnall, a manager at the facility. Councilman Tim Auvil, while speaking about the Parsons Park Board, initially brought up the center.
"(The Wellness Center) is doing fantastic," he said. "Jess is doing great job over there."
Auvil specifically mentioned the karate classes as an examle of a program that is doing well.
He said there currently are three karate classes being offered and, because of high demand and an overload of participants, the addition of a fourth class is being considered.
In other news, council documents report that Parsons officials have received FEMA funding in the amount of $36,413.34 after being reimbursed by the federal organization for costs incurred through Superstorm Sandy clean-up efforts.
"This will be a big help," said Mayor Dorothy Judy, noting the vast amount of resources used by city officials during the clean-up.
Jason Myers continued the meeting by speaking about new security cameras, which have been installed in the Charles W. Rosenau Municipal Building in Parsons.
"We have every entrance under surveillance," said Myers.
The cameras were made available through funds derived from a Community Oriented Policing Services grant.
They are not operational, Myers said. Maximum Construction LLC will be working with Myers in the coming weeks to position and focus the cameras and train city staff to operate the system.
"Hopefully, by the next meeting, we will be able to demonstrate the cameras," he said.
Myers also reported the First and Second Street Streetscapes Project is nearly complete.
The cake walk area in front of the Tucker County Courthouse will be uncovered this week, Myers said.
A sealant will be placed on the new concrete to keep it from eroding. Myers said council will be making it a point to seal the concrete every three years to keep the new sidewalks in pristine condition.
Myers said the concrete will not erode and the color will not degrade if sealant is properly and regularly applied.

The theme for this year's Oktoberfest is "Celebrating Generations," and one family in La Crosse is one of the ultimate examples of this theme.
Sisters Dana and Amanda Barbour look forward to the Oktoberfest celebrations every year.
"It's not just a tradition," said Amanda Barbour. "It's a family tradition for us. We have a very large German family and everybody comes into town for this."
They haven't really missed a fest.
"I have only missed one Oktoberfest in my entire life," said Amanda Barbour. "And I have not missed one," said Dana Barbour.
But a group of people that might have them beat is the generation before them -- their parents and aunts and uncles.
"Wasn't it '67?" asked Linda Barbour-Wettstein, Amanda's and Dana's mother. "'64, I believe," Said John Wettstein, the girls' uncle.
They too, have never missed an Oktoberfest celebration since they were kids. That's all thanks to one special lady -- the matriarch of the family, 95-year-old Marie Wettstein.
"I never missed one since it started," she said.
After 53 years, Marie can still remember what the very first Oktoberfest celebration was like.
"It was more quiet," said Marie. "It wasn't big as this."
Even though things have changed a bit, she still finds joy each year at the fest grounds surrounded by dozens of family members.
It's a sight that is priceless to her granddaughters.
"She's amazing," said Dana. "(She's) such an inspiration to all of us. She keeps our tradition alive of all of our family."
This family tradition has continued for four generations -- including the grandchildren.
"I never thought of it ending," said John Wettstein. "I hope it doesn't end," said Linda.
And chances are, Marie will be a part of it again next year.
"If I'm living," said Marie.
The family owns the Wettstein's furniture, appliance and electronics store in downtown La Crosse.
Two family members have been asked in the past to be Festmasters. Both were very humbled by the honor, but decided to let someone else be in the spotlight.

Mildred Jennie Slayton
BARRE Mildred Jennie Slayton, 95, died Friday, July 4, 2014, after a short illness at the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin.
Born on Dec. 10, 1918 in Brome, Quebec, Canada, she was the daughter of John and Jennie (Farmer) Thompson. Mildreds family moved to a farm in East Montpelier in 1927. She attended the Four Corners School in East Montpelier and graduated from Plainfield High School in 1936. In earlier years, she worked at the Adamant Store in Calais.
On Aug. 18, 1944, Mildred married Maurice Slayton. She moved to Connecticut and worked at the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Company in Hartford, Connecticut, while Maurice served in the U.S. Army.
Following their move to Barre, she worked at the former Sprague Electric Co. for 35 years, retiring in 1983. When they retired, Mildred and Maurice traveled all over the United States and Canada. After Maurice died in 2003, she remained in their home in Barre until moving to Fortiers Community Care Home in 2008.
Her sister-in-law, Lois Toby, of Adamant, and several nieces and nephews, including Marjorie St. John, who has supervised her care for several years, survive Mildred.
In addition to her husband and parents, a brother, Norman Thompson, and four sisters, Kathleen Thompson, Irene Holmes, Gladys Lawson and Bertha Tucker predeceased her.
According to Mildreds wishes, there will be no calling hours. Her graveside service will be held at the Plain-Mont Cemetery in East Montpelier on Friday July 11, 2014, at 10 a.m.
Contributions in her memory may be made to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641.

- Odour liking physiological indices: a correlation of sensory and electrophysiological responses to odour

- Owen, Caroline M.; Patterson, John
- Abstract
- The perception of smell is dominated by an hedonic dimension, with changes in left and right orbitofrontal activation evident in responses to odours of different valence. Electrophysiological (EEG) recordings were used to investigate differences in hemispheric activation associated with different hedonic responses to a low concentration of a single compound (damascenone: fruity, berry smell). Stimulus delivery (air, or air with odour) was synchronised with inspiration using a continuous respiration olfactometer. EEG responses were analysed using traditional power spectrum techniques to determine the relationship of the brain activity to the reported odour liking responses. Differences in response to the odour were evident in comparison with air, and also between response groups. Using the same odour to evoke different hedonic responses, power spectrum analysis revealed a non-significant trend for left frontal differences in EEG associated with different liking responses to damascenone. This demonstrated quantification of the neurophysiological effects associated with odour liking.

Walker changes plan to modify electrical code
Gov. Scott Walker has dropped plans to remove mandatory fire safety requirements from the state electrical code.
The Wisconsin Builders Association had suggested the change. Current code requires builders to install arc-fault and ground-fault circuit interrupter protection and tamper-resistant electrical outlets in new construction. The change would have made installation of those devices optional. Builders Association vice president Jerry Deschane says the devices had "reliability problems."
Electrical inspectors and fire officials criticized Walker's decision to change the code and applauded when he decided not to change it. The State Journal reports Walker has directed the Department of Safety and Professional Services to forgo code changes.

So I dropped my lunch box and purse on the floor and ran to my bathroom where the beauty of all lipsticks lay in my traincase. I lined my lips with Nightmoth and applied Port Red. I was floored with how beautiful it looks. The subtle gold specks really bring some "umph" to the overall color of Port Red. I am in love with this. And yep, it is a TRUE red. What I love about it is how it isn't a deep red. Deep reds tend to make me really look like somebody's 40 year old Momma. And yall know what I'm talkin' about….hehehe.
So dig the little photo shoot I had in the car. I was careful about it, I promise. I also tried to show pictures in different lightning so you can really get an idea of how Port Red looks. *insert British voice* I was a bit giddy in these pics, chaps but I had a jolly good time. And you'll have to enlarge for a better view. Photbucket was on the trips today, mannnn.
My brows are really crackin' me up. Goin' to get them threaded tomorrow. I can't express how much I love this color.
What do you think?
Yay or nay to Port Red?
…..what' s your take on darker skinned ladies wearin' red lippies?

In the tubular tire-rim interface, the difficult surface to work with is the rim. Base tape, which is just about always a woven strip of cotton cloth, is easy. Glue seeps between the threads, stays there, and dries. The rim is another story. The glue has to bond to the rim in some way, but not permanently. Conventional wisdom is that conventional tubular glue takes a bit more care in prep when mounting tubulars to carbon rims.
Enter the Continental Carbon-Specific tubular glue. It is formulated specifically for use on carbon. Unfortunately, they won't tell us the science behind what makes it carbon-specific. All they're saying is their carbon-rim glue is optimized for carbon. Conti's standard glue is optimized for aluminum. All the same, Continental says either will work on either rim, just the specific glues work better with their intended rims. They also tell us that in terms of texture, viscosity, curing time, etc, the two glues are about the same.
A single 25g tube of Continental Carbon Rim glue should be enough to do one tire to one wheel, with maybe a little left over.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Just enough.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
1 tube is right for mounting 1 tire, usually get a couple coats on both the tire and wheel. Use a sandwich bag and spread it with my finger in place of a brush seems to get a better coating without wasting so much to the brush.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
With the small tube and a small paintbrush, this is the cleanest way to apply tubular glue. Allows for multiple layers before mounting the tire and hasn't failed me yet after hundreds of miles.
Still holding up
Bought this glue for my Easton carbon rims. I didn't want to take any chances using glue from other brands that weren't specified for carbon rims. So far its still holding up after 500kms. The tube of glue is enough for 3 thin coats on the rim and 1 thin coat on the tubular tire. Awesome stuff!!
Use this, not Fastack
Without writing on a disseration on gluing your tires, please don't use Fastack. I saw more than one catastrophic failure result from this glue, which sticks well but tends to fail all at once with no warning (it is more brittle than rubberized glues). I think that ClubRider is saying the same thing when he says use a rubberized glue (like this Conti glue), just wanted to clarify. Among glues, I find this one to be the hardest to screw up, and therefore recommend it to all my tubie-riding friends. Make sure you know how to glue tires before you trust your work.

If you bought a Tubular tire, then you will need this glue to glue it to your rim. If your tire is a clincher and hooks in using a bead, then you do not need it. Clincher tires need a tube, in tubulars, they are already inside the casing or non existent.

Is there an issue with carbon rims...will standard cement work on carbon as it will an alloy rim? I noticed in another catalog that Continental had carbon-specific glue; Panaracer does not.
We're concerned about the elements of the cement adversely affecting the carbon.
Conti just released cement that is designed especially for carbon rims. I have used the current conti cement on my carbon tubulars for years with out any issues. However, the new cement may be an even better improvement? The pro's have been using this classic conti cement for YEARS, so I would say you are safe.

The Avatar World has an extensive history dating back more than twenty thousand years. This article lists historical events in a timeline.
The history of this world can be roughly divided into two parts, the time before the Avatar and the time of the Avatar. Prior to the Avatar's creation, lion turtles served as the protectors of mankind, allowing the humans to erect cities atop their shells. Whenever the inhabitants of their cities would venture into the Spirit Wilds, the creatures would bestow the people with the ability to bend the element the turtle was affiliated with; the power was to be returned upon their reentry to the city. However, after the creation of the Avatar, the lion turtles denounced their roles as protectors of mankind, and the people were left to make their own homes scattered across the world, which eventually led to the division of the world into the four nations.
The most notable historical event that took place during the adventures of Team Avatar was the Hundred Year War.[1] A number of major events occurred during the time of Korra's Team Avatar, including the Anti-bending Revolution, the events surrounding Harmonic Convergence, the insurrection of the Red Lotus, and the formation of the Earth Empire. Some time before Korra's era, the term "modern" was used to describe how the world of Avatar came into an industrial age.
To further clarify the often confusing timeline in Avatar: The Last Airbender, this timeline and other articles date events as years before the Air Nomad Genocide (BG) and years after the genocide (AG). 0 AG is the year Fire Lord Sozin used the power from Sozin's Comet to begin the Hundred Year War with the Air Nomad Genocide and serves as an epoch for the dating system.
Further notes about the system:
- 0 AG began in winter, but with spring coming soon. This satisfies both the solar calendar and the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Sozin's Comet arrived at the end of the eighth month (solar or Chinese) of that year, in order to satisfy the "end of summer" term used by Roku.[2]
- Aang emerged from the iceberg during winter in late 99 AG[3] and the final battles of the war occurred in the eighth month of 100 AG.
- Almost all characters turned their present ages in 99 AG, as no birthdays except for Yue's have been shown in the series.[4] For example, Katara turned fourteen years old in 99 AG and was nearly fifteen by the end of the War.
- The only birthdays known to have occurred are those of Yue, who turned sixteen in early 100 AG, in late winter, and of Iroh's son, Lu Ten, who was of unknown age when killed during the war, but whose birthday was during the spring.
- As Toph's birthday is unknown, Toph could have turned twelve in either 99 AG or 100 AG. Therefore, her given year of birth (88 AG) may be inaccurate.
- Dating for some of the events between Aang's awakening at the Southern Water Tribe and Aang's arrival at the Northern Water Tribe may be inaccurate, as it is unknown whether the Solar calendar or Chinese Lunar calendar is being used.
Chinese zodiac
The Chinese zodiac is also included. It revolves around the mathematical cycle of twelve animals. The animals are listed here in order.
1. Rat
7. Horse
Era names
On the second ring of Wan Shi Tong's calendar, sixteen era names are visible. However, it is unclear how these are used in the dating of the Avatar world.[5] The era during the date of the eclipse was the Ri Wu era.
- Note: These definitions are very loosely based on the characters, as many of the combinations are difficult to understand. Some of the characters are no longer used in modern Chinese.
1. Ri Wu
9. Yun Zhen
The first character in these two-character words has a radical (one of the 214 ideographic elements in Chinese writing used in combination with phonetics to form thousands of different characters) that represents one of the four elements, and rotates in the order air, water, earth, and fire.
- 气 — the "air" radical, used in characters related to gas
- 氵 — the "three drops of water" radical, used in characters related to liquid
- 土 — the "earth" radical, used in characters related to dirt, earth, mineral, etc.
- 火 — the "fire" radical, used in characters related to fire, heat, etc.
The current Ri Wu era, for example, uses the air radical (气). This system might therefore be based on the Avatar Cycle, with the era changing upon the death of each Avatar. If this is the case, Aang would be living during the Ri Wu (Superior military) Era, Roku during the Zhuo Guang (Brilliant light) Era, Kyoshi during the Yuan Zheng (Bastion of righteousness) Era, and so on. This would also mean Korra would be living during the Chun Tai (Honest and exalted) Era.

- Humans begin to build their cities on the shells of lion turtles to protect themselves from the dangers of the Spirit Wilds. Whenever the people have to venture into the wilds to collect food, the lion turtles bestowed upon the hunters the ability to control one of the elements. Eventually, the majority of the cities lost contact and knowledge of each other's existence, and developed unique cultures.

First Age of the Avatar (c. 9,829 BG — 171 AG)
Pre-war (c. 9,829 BG — 1 BG)
- Unknown date before c. 3,829 BG
- As humanity left the cities established on the lion turtles, they begin to come in to contact with each other. The different peoples begin to wage war against each other, forcing Wan to intervene in order to maintain peace. His efforts, however, are of little success. The violent conflicts continue until his death and beyond. The next Avatar is born into the cycle after Wan's death.[8]

- The airbending Guru Laghima achieves weightlessness and lives his final forty years without touching the ground.[9]
- A past Avatar defeats Hundun and mortally wounds his brother, forcing the conjoined twin kings to retreat to the Spirit World.[10]
- Unknown date before 345 BG
- Wan Shi Tong brings his library from the Spirit World into the physical world.
- Humanity splits into the four nations, each divided by the respective bending arts. The Air Nomads learn the art of airbending from the flying bison,[11] the Earth Kingdom learn the art of earthbending from the badgermoles (Oma and Shu being the first known humans to earthbend), the Sun Warriors learn the art of firebending from the dragons, and the Water Tribes learn the art of waterbending by observing the pull of the moon on the ocean tides.[12]
- A group of waterbenders from the Northern Water Tribe construct a large city out of ice in order to unite the various tribes inhabiting the North Pole region.[13]
- Following a civil unrest, the Water Tribe —which was originally centered around the North Pole— splits into two groups: one stayed at the North Pole, while the other group went out to settle the South Pole. Relations with their sister tribe were later healed, and the two tribes would gather together at annual New Moon celebrations.
- A large group of waterbenders from the Southern Water Tribe, who are wandering through the Earth Kingdom, discover the Foggy Swamp and, comfortable with the large amount of water there, decide to stay, forming the Foggy Swamp Tribe. The Southern Water Tribe never learns of this offshoot and the Foggy Swamp Tribe itself later forgets its own origins.[14]
- The Sun Warriors gradually fade into obscurity as their civilization declines, leaving many ruins across their island archipelago. The Sun Warriors are believed to have gone extinct, though in reality a handful hiding in the ruins would continue their culture for centuries. The art of firebending, however, was passed on to the other inhabitants of the islands. These would gradually coalesce into the "Fire Nation".[11] Originally the Fire Nation was a spiritual people ruled by Fire Sages, much as the Air Nomads were led by their monks. Over time, however, one sage rose to prominence above the others, ruling the Fire Nation as a sovereign, and the office became hereditary, beginning the line of Fire Lords.
- The vast Earth Kingdom is gradually united under the political authority of the city-state of Ba Sing Se. The King of Ba Sing Se becomes Earth King, overlord of all of the smaller kingdoms within the Earth Kingdom, some of which retain their own hereditary lordship.
- Avatar Yangchen of the Air Nomads is born in the Western Air Temple, after the death of her predecessor. Her reign as Avatar is a peaceful one, due to her fierce dedication to keeping balance and serving the world. She dies around 345 BG,[nb 1] and Avatar Kuruk is born in the Northern Water Tribe.
- Avatar Kuruk tries to kill Koh, the Face Stealer, as revenge for stealing the face of his fiancée Ummi. This event is confusing to place chronologically, as if Koh's description of the event is taken literally, it would have happened c. 800-700 BG, over three hundred years before Kuruk's death.[4]
- 312 BG — Year of the Dragon
- Avatar Kuruk dies; Avatar Kyoshi of the Earth Kingdom is born.
- c. 270 BG — Year of the Dog
- Avatar Kyoshi kills the warlord Chin and founds Kyoshi Island; the War of Chin the Conqueror ends with the victory of the Earth Kingdom government. The 46th Earth King restores his reign over the whole Earth Kingdom, though civil unrest begins to spread on the continent. The day of Chin's death is remembered as Avatar Day in Chin Village and Kyoshi Day on Kyoshi Island.[16]
- Sometime after this event, a peasant uprising in Ba Sing Se spurs Kyoshi to create the Dai Li. In the process, the Earth Kingdom is turned into a constitutional monarchy.

Notes: The authors evaluated criteria for using STR analysis to resolve immigration cases by examining 156 one-parent child combinations and 105 two-parent child combinations from 28 families. STR analyses were performed in duplicate using the SMG Plus® kit and a combination of CTTv and FFFL Multiplexes. The authors concluded that the combination of these kits, which analyze a total of 21 STR loci, can be used to successfully resolve immigration casework. However, in 9% of the one-parent cases their criteria of a parental index of 1.000 or more was not met. Additional testing using the PowerPlex® 16 System reduced this from 9% to 1 out of 156 indices.

Notes: Nine hundred and sixteen individuals from four ethnic groups: European-derived, African-derived, Brazilian Mulattos and Asian-derived, were typed with the GenePrint® STR CSF1PO, TPOX, TH01 Multiplex, F13A01, FESFPS, vWA Multiplex, and SilverSTR® III (D7S820, D13S317, D16S539) Systems. Allele frequencies as well as statistics for each group are provided. (2825)
Alves, C., Gusmão, L., Pereira, L. and Amorim, A.
Notes: The authors generated allele frequency data for 100 unrelated individuals from North Portugal and 110 unrelated individuals from Mozambique using the PowerPlex® 16 System, GenePrint® CTTv Multiplex and Profiler Plus™ kit. Four inconsistencies in genotypes between the kits were detected, three for D5S818 and 1 for D8S1179, due to primer-binding site mutations. (3862)

text: Need help!!! I am at work with no storage bags and just 2 bottles of 5oz. I have to pump 3 times and I usually get between 12 - 13 oz. Bottles have a little extra space. I will try to pump in the same botlles the 3 times. I am new on BF and pumping. I'm proud to tell I'm 100% BF after hard times in the first 2 months . I usually store my milk in my work fridge every time I pump until I go home and use my cooler bag. My question is: Can I use the bottles everytime I pump, leave my milk there in the fridge and use it again with my next pump? Will my milk be damaged? I will appreciate all your advices.
