We study price pressures, i.e., deviations from the efficient price due to risk-averse intermediaries supplying liquidity to asynchronously arriving investors. Empirically, New York Stock Exchange intermediary data reveals economically large price pressures, 0.49% on average with a half life of 0.92 days. Theoretically, a simple dynamic inventory model captures an intermediary's use of price pressure to mean-revert inventory. She trades off revenue loss due to price pressure against price risk associated with staying in a nonzero inventory state. The closed-form solution identifies the intermediary's risk aversion and the investors' private value distribution from the observed time series patterns of prices and inventories. These parameters imply a relative social cost due to price pressure, a deviation from constrained Pareto efficiency, of approximately 10% of the cost of immediacy.

NCUA Gives Nod to Credit Union for Pro Athletes
The NCUA has given preliminary approval on the proposed field of membership for a new cooperative, Players Choice Federal Credit Union, which claims to be the first cooperative to serve the professional sports industry.
Players Choice FCU is the brainchild of Stacey Fielder August, the former wife of Cecil Fielder, a former major league baseball player, and the mother of Prince Fielder, currently a first baseman for the Texas Rangers.
The credit union will have a multiple common bond, including professional and amateur sports organizations.
So far, entities approved for the proposed credit union's membership include nearly a dozen associations and businesses such as ProSquared, Integrated Play, Game Changerz, EHSN Sports, Pendelton Consulting Services, Bart Fraenkel Asset Protection & Investment Strategy, The Duncan Group and Jump Start Media Production.
With this FOM foundation, Players Choice FCU will begin formal outreach to professional sports organizations – MLB, NFL, NBA, MLS, NHL, PGA and others – to join the field of membership, said W. Robert Hall, president of Hall Associates Consulting, LLC., in Dumfries, Va.
In a prepared statement, August said the idea for the credit union came from her own real-life experiences as a former spouse of a professional athlete.
Cecil Fielder lost all of his career earnings of $47 million to a gambling addiction and poor financial decision making, according to a 2004 Detroit News profile on the former power slugger. Fielder has disputed and denied some of the claims made in the controversial article and sued the newspaper for libel, slander and defamation. The suit and a subsequent appeal, however, were both dismissed, according to a 2010 report posted on MLive.com.
"Many professional athletes do not manage their newfound wealth with an eye toward their financial needs after their sports careers are over," August said. "As a result, far too many former professional athletes face major financial hardships within a few years of leaving their teams."
Players Choice FCU will focus on providing financial education and advice to help athletes manage and preserve their wealth during their careers and in retirement.
August has experience in the wealth preservation field. She is president of Leagues of Their Own, an organization that operates as a wealth empowerment institute focused on women (wives, mothers, daughters) of professional athletes and their families.
Players Choice FCU is expected to be based the Houston area.
Plans call for the new credit union to offer electronic services allowing it to serve members throughout the country. A branch may be opened in its headquarters building, Hall said.
Players Choice FCU expects to complete the charter application by yearend, its organizers said.

For the pastry
Gently fry the leeks in the butter until softened. Add the mushrooms, mace and thyme, and turn up the heat a bit to soften the mushrooms and drive off any liquid that comes out of them. Stir in the potato for 2 mins, followed by the lentils, chestnuts and cream. Cook for 2 mins more, then take off the heat and stir in the 4 tbsp cranberries.
To make the pastry, put the flour and suet in a food processor with 1 tsp salt. Whizz together until you can't see any big suet lumps, then keep pulsing while you add the milk, a spoon at a time, until the pastry comes together.
Roll out a quarter of the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then use 4 individual pie dishes to cut 4 pastry lids – we used 4 x 250ml ramekins. Use a small star cutter to cut out a star from each lid, then keep stars and lids covered with cling film.
Cut 4 strips of baking parchment and use a little butter to stick one in each pie dish, so the ends of the strips stick outeach side to help you remove the pies when baked. Gather lid scraps with the remaining pastry and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each to £1 coin thickness and use to line each pie dish with an overhang. Divide the filling between the dishes. Top each with a lid, and roll down the overhang to meet the lid. Use a fork's prongs to press and seal edges. The pies can now be covered and chilled for up to 24 hrs before baking.
To bake, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Brush each pie with beaten egg and bake for 30 mins. Lift pies from dishes and sit directly onto a baking sheet. Mix 20 cranberries with the redcurrant jelly and divide between the star holes on top. Brush pastry stars with beaten egg, add a small thyme sprig to each, then add to the pie baking sheet and put back in the oven for 5-10 mins, until pies and stars are golden and crisp. Top each pie with a star and serve.
This recipe makes four pies, but all the quantities are easily quartered or halved, which means it's just as easy to make one pie, or two – or as many as you want.

Have just made these , they are in the oven at moment. A couple of the ingredients were new to me so wasn't sure what to expect. The filling smelt lovely but I thought it a bit bland so added a veggie stock cube which helped greatly. The pastry was much firmer than my normal recipe but this helped with lining the tins as, being so deep, meant that they fluted a lot at the tops and had to be pressed in and trimmed up. I used large muffin tins as I prefer metal tins to a ramekin . Also, bearing in mind an earlier comment, I chopped up the cranberries a little to avoid one big hit of it. I can't comment on final result until Xmas as will be going in freezer until then
I found these pies to be visually beautiful, but flavour-wise, thoroughly mediocre. They weren't bad per se, but they certainly aren't good enough to grace a Christmas table.
The pastry is simple and pleasant, and the kind you would expect of a Victorian-esque Christmas pie, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
The filling smelled fantastic as it was cooking, and the end result coming out of the oven looked just lovely. I cut out holly leaf shapes rather than stars and arranged the cranberries at the base. They looked wonderfully festive.
A bite of filling and pie crust without a cranberry in it is bland, mushy, and has a glue-like texture that's rather unpleasant. With a cranberry, you get an initial pop of sweet fruit breaking through the stodge, and it's wonderful - until you swallow and get the acidic bite and wish you hadn't bothered.
I found that a bite of filling, pastry, no cranberries, and a little redcurrant jelly was most pleasant - so perhaps I can modify the filling to incorporate redcurrant jelly instead of the cranberries.
I will definitely make this pastry and use this presentation method again, but the filling needs some serious work.
Every single Christmas it's the same story. The meat eaters are treated to a buffet of shining glazed meats and delicious stuffings. And what do the vegetarians get? Boiled vegetables. Yay.
I decided to put a stop to this and made these Christmas pies, not knowing what to expect. The end product - savoury, creamy, nicely seasoned, with a fantastic texture from the chestnuts. It was filling and so much more exciting than veggies. Even my mother, who hates everything, liked this. We have since made it a bunch more times for friends who all seemed to enjoy it! A new Christmas staple in our home.
Made three larger pies (only had larger, 350ml Ikea ramekins), and they turned out very tasty. Approved by my man, who had asked for pie expecting the steak and ale variety. I made them for Sunday lunch, so didn't have all the Christmas trimmings, and the slightly larger size was probably a better portion in this case. The pastry is lovely, the filling has a nice blend of flavours (was careful with the mace at first following comments, but added an extra sprinkling later and was more generous with the thyme). Made as per recipe, except I didn't put the cranberries and red currant jellies on top for the last 5 minutes, but just served the jelly on the side, which added a bit of freshness to the flavour.
Had these for my Christmas dinner today. I halved the recipe, apart from adding an extra few nuts and lentils. We didn't have the herbs specified so I used dried sage, coriander leaf and fresh parsley. Added the fresh cranberries to the mix but didn't put the berries and jelly in. I also used bought shortcrust pastry for ease! They looked very pretty and tasted good.

Rasheed Wallace's time with the Detroit Pistons has come to a close.
The 39-year-old, who spent the prime of his career suiting up for the defensively oriented Detroit teams of the mid-2000s, served as a Pistons assistant coach during the 2013-14 season, specializing in player development.
But according to Vincent Goodwill of The Detroit News, 'Sheed won't be brought back for the 2014-15 campaign.
"Pistons formally announce Malone, Beyer and Klask to the coaching staff," Goodwill tweeted. "Rasheed Wallace, Bernard Smith and Henry Bibby won't be retained."
If you want to shed a tear, I don't blame you.
Detroit and Wallace go together like peanut butter and jelly, but the divorce has been completed. Now Wallace will be looking for more work, assuming he wants to stay in coaching rather than pursue some other venture.
And as Bleacher Report's Stephen Babb wrote shortly after the news was announced, Wallace could continue using gigs as an assistant as a springboard to moving one seat over down the road:
Wallace may need to latch on with another team for a longer stint as an assistant before he's viewed as a viable head coaching candidate. Still, an NBA landscape with Sheed as a head coach is a reality we should all hope to experience.
So, what's the next step in this colorful personality's NBA journey? We can only hope it takes place in one of these next five locations, as each franchise could use Wallace's ability to develop the shooting, interior scoring and defensive presence of their big men.

How the Anti-Choice Agenda Drives Women to Unsafe Providers like Kermit Gosnell
We were outraged to hear about Kermit Gosnell and his unsafe treatment of women who trusted him with their reproductive health.
What the anti-choice movement doesn't want you to know is that low-income women can be driven to seek medical care from individuals like Gosnell because of unfair restrictions to abortion access.
Even today, rather than work to expand women's access and prevent women from turning to back-alley abortion providers, anti-choice politicians are pushing to make it harder for women to get abortion care.
In Iowa, the state House of Representatives passed legislation that would withhold Medicaid funding for abortion providers. Here's the scariest part: Medicaid funding in Iowa only covers abortion for survivors of rape or incest, and when the woman's life is in danger.
These anti-choice politicians are heartless for wanting to cut funding for abortion care when a woman's life depends on it.
That doesn't sound very "pro-life," does it?
If they get their way, anti-choice politicians will succeed at blocking low-income women from even getting birth control and cancer screenings.
We've seen what happens when ideology trumps women's health. Before Roe v. Wade, women still sought out abortion, but they often ended up in the hands of predators like Kermit Gosnell.
If anti-choice politicians succeed in promoting their agenda - blocking access to abortion care to women who have been raped, or cutting vital health programs that prevent pregnancy - then surely these zealots must bear some responsibility for the horrors from unsafe providers like Kermit Gosnell.

Not sure if 100% crazy is the way to go because I don't think ratings respond to all out stunts anymore. However, the show does needs a major shakeup for sure.
Last Fall, Hogan and Ed brought that 90's feel back, only with more character-driven feel. The spoilers were more limited then usual and there was an aura of mystery in the air right up through January. I really think the show was on the right track and it started off right by killing John. That was the big bang the show needed and the reason it didn't get ratings right away was because people didn't buy it. However, as the show went on without Drake, people bought it and then they brought him back. i don't think bringing him back was the downfall but the fact that we had a regime change and things changed. I really do think Hogan and Ed were hitting their stride.
I think what Days needs is to build the stories they have and then do something HUGE in late December and something HUGE IN February. Line up all your stories and blow them apart and send characters in many directions. I think one of the biggest things you can do is kill off a major character and keep them dead. Do something gutsy.
Hell, do a Maison Blanche like story. That will save them money using one set for awhile and you can even use that kind of story to get rid of some characters you opt to cut. Maybe use a story like that to bring Belle back or something. Bo and Hope or whoever could say they haven't heard from Shelle in awhile and maybe their search leads them to a mysterious locale. You can then build up some secrets or start a mystery out of this and also maybe make this the last stand for Stefano. I'm just tossing ideas out there. I think something like this could work and spawn off new stories.
In the 90's, it wasn't just one story that did it. Buried Alive started it and then the affair and it's reveal kept fans interested enough so that when the show dropped, it didn't lose all it gained. Then Maison Blanche gave them another boost and the buildup to and Possession story gave them the HUGE boost that roped people and kept them there. After that, it was a steady stream of viewers but it wasn't just one story that did this. That was the problem with the SSK story. The show needed to make sure there was more to happen after that story but, how can you with all the interference and so on.
The show also needs to remember that many of these characters have been through so much that it's hard to be creative and new. You have to take that into account and whatever the show opts to do, it needs to make sure that they commit to a direction and have other things lined up and planned for after. It just can't be big event or story and then nothing. That does no good.
I think going after old fans is too much of a risk at this point. Just try to get any fans you can to tune in. It doesn't matter who tunes in as long as some do. I want to see the show take risks. I've wanted that forever and now is as good a time as any.

My favorite thing about the Serial Killer story was thinking, "Deidre Hall's Marlena is Reilly's pet. We know Marlena is going to stay on the show, but HOW will she get away with it?"
One theory floating around was that she would go on trial for all the murders and that a jury of her peers would, without conditions or reasons of insanity, find her not guilty. And that would have been interesting, especially if the entire town still felt she was responsible for all of it.
|Nov 13 2008, 03:46 PM Post #183
I actually know some ideas that were being tossed around as to what was going to happen and it would've been taken a huge risk either way but I liked it.
JER loved Marlena so she was safe for sure. I also think too that when the story changed, Doug and Alice were made victims. As I said, there was a news story reported by SON and others that Tanya Boyd (Celeste) was the next to die after Tony and that made sense given Marlena was hypnotizing her. Around that same time, there was conflicting reports of John Aniston (Victor) being out and being a victim too and then, all of a sudden, both stories disappeared from the net. A few days later, Doug was reported as next to die and Victor was said to be being killed by Jan and not Marlena. Something changed, especially when you consider Bill and Susan Hayes were promised that neither Doug or Julie would be killed off and two weeks later, it's sad Doug would be. The story got so senseless after that, None of it made sense. Doug all of a sudden recalls Marlena coming out of Tony's room. It just made no sense and the story was carefully planned up to that point. It had holes but every murder made sense until after Tony's. The story fell apart after Tony got "killed." The island story just made it worse and then even their plan B got tossed out. The island story was supposed to play out much differently but they kept shortening int and gutting it to the point where it became a really bad acid trip with no rhyme or reason to it.
|Nov 13 2008, 03:46 PM Post #184
I know while watching the story, as soon as Marlena was revealed as the killer, I wanted it to actually be Marlena. Not Hattie, not the Devil, not one of Stefano's clones. It had to be her. If the show only as to September 2010, they must do something now. Something huge, something to make people talk about the show, even if it angers long time fans. At this point, they have NOTHING to lose.

Without quoting your lengthy, well-written thoughts, I think that's what we're all trying to say, Phoenix.
But at the same time, I don't want the show to return to the 90's. In a way, DAYS has been perpetually trapped in that style-at least visually. The set design, lighting, and camerawork is all something out of 80's ANOTHER WORLD. Except AW was way better in the acting and writing department. On it's worst day.

|Nov 13 2008, 04:19 PM Post #187
Good point. These shows (and, in some instances, the fans) have to stop living in the past. The show has to create a new golden age for itself.
That is where JER got into trouble in his second run after the SSK/island story ended. He tried to re-create stories from his run and it did not work because the characters had already been down that road and had grew beyond those paths. That is why when I see endless "Bring Sheri Anderson back" responses on other boards, I can't go along with that thinking. I think the same thing would happen to her. Either she would alienate fans by pushing the vets aside and doing similar things with the younger characters that she did in the 80's with the current vets or she would try to hard to please fanbases and put the couples through the same sort of things and it would be the same old, same old. I think it would be bad either way with her.

HI! I'm new and wanted to ask what was the exact reason that all the "dead" people came back. I heard it was Ken Corday, and did JER ever say where he wanted to go with the SSK s/l before KC interfered?

Three time Academy Award winning director Woody Allen will begin production on his next film this summer, and he's bringing Marion Cotillard with him. According to Deadline Hollywood, the French actress has landed a plum role in his latest project that will have her opposite Owen Wilson. This will be another one of many films that Allen has tackled in recent years that uses a European country as its backdrop.
The untitled film is being financed by the Spanish production company, Mediapro whom Allen currently has a three-picture deal with. With the project's Parisian backdrop, Cotillard sounds like a logical choice, even amongst rumors that France's First Lady Carla Bruni was in the running for a role. Cotillard is best known for her roles in Nine and Public Enemies, as well as her Oscar winning performance in La Vie En Rose.
Since the feature is still in the pre-production stages there hasn't been a lot of info released regarding its plot. This shouldn't come as a shock since Allen is known for keeping his projects low key until they've wrapped. In the meantime, be on the look out for his upcoming film, You Will Meet a Dark Stranger, which recently wrapped production.
What is your favorite Woody Allen film? How do you feel about his move away from New York to international locations?

April 2009
Padres Fan Day 2009!
Wow, what an incredible event! I hardly know where to begin, but begin I will!
My mom, my brother and I arrived at Petco Park around one pm.
Jen soon joined us. We got in contact with Hyun Young, who had been there early. We would meet up with her later.
We ran down to the field because some players were signing near the Padres dugout. Unfortunately, the players ran off the field just as we got down there. So, we missed most of the workout. Oh well.
Next we went to the Jake Peavy autograph line, which was full. We decided to take a gamble and went into the overflow line. We waited for about an hour, watching the scoreboard and listening to the music that blasted through the stadium.
Jake made pretty good time. He got through everybody in the guaranteed section in probably forty minutes.
It wasn't looking great for us in the overflow section though. We had certainly taken a gamble. We were only about five rows in, so we were close. But if Jake didn't get to us, we wouldn't have time to go anywhere else. We would either get Jake's autograph or none at all. We took a huge risk!
It looked very unlikey. They said the first two rows of the overflow would get to go, and that was it. But Jake is an incredible man. The next two rows got to go, and ours was next. We were begging to ourselves, "Just one more, just one more!"
Well, we got it. They told us to get up, and we got to join the line. It was so cool. After going through that range of emotions, worry to disappointment to panic to joy! Very cool. We walked down the steps, watching Jake as he signed for the people ahead of us. They were moving people through very quickly. A guy would take your one item to be autographed, put it in front of Jake, you step in front of Jake as he signed, and then you were gone. It was very quick.
Jen was ahead of me, and as Jake signed her ball for her, she told him that though she is a White Sox fan, he was her new favorite Padre. As I stepping in front of Jake, I said, "We love you, Jake!" I think he said something in reply, but I couldn't hear what he said. Oh well.
Let me rave a little about this guy. He went way above what he should have done. I knew he would sign extra for as many fans as possible. What class this country boy has! I love him. I mean, he's starting tonight! Any other ace might have opted out of an event like this in order to prepare for the game. But this guy was incredible. He really shouldn't have done as many autographs as he did. What a great guy! Well, at least now if he gets traded I'll have his autograph! This guy has great class. I am very thankful for this one autograph.
Next we went to the Padres' garage sale, which benefitted the Padres Foundation for Children. There was a lot of cool stuff for a really good price. I got three baseballs, a coffee-tabe type book about Petco Park, a Sports Illustrated magazine with Trevor on the cover from 2002, a music sheet of the Padres' official song, and a poster, all for under $15. I was really impressed. A lot of the stuff was from years ago, but it was pretty cool. I really enjoyed "shopping".
After that, we went to the Cox/Channel 4 table. There was this wheel thingy that you could spin and win strange things. I got sunscreen🙂
Then we finally met up with Hyun Young. We hung out for a while, talking some baseball. We were still standing near the Channel 4 table, and when we saw some of the postgame guys signing autographs. So we thought, why not?
I went up to the table first and laid a piece of blank Padres paper on the table in front of John Weisbarth.
"What's this?" he asked.
"A piece of paper." I replied.
He stared at it for a few seconds. "Would you like me to sign it?"
"Sure!" I exclaimed.
So he did, asking me my name and then trying to think of something clever to write on it. "Thanks 4 watching!" was what he came up with. Isn't that brilliant? He thought that was really good. He passed it on to his comrade Steve Quis, who signed it as well, putting a "+" between his name and John's.
The Hyun Young gave him a piece of (Jen's) notebook paper to sign. John told Steve that he had to come up with the witty saying this time. Steve couldn't think of anything, so John wrote the "thanks 4 watching" again. And something else with their signatures. But Jen's…wow. I'm going to let her tell you about that one. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
Things were winding down. Hyun Young left, and then we prepared to leave as well. But before we left, I noticed a guy who I've heard and read about. He kind of stands out in a crowd, as he had prosthetics for arms. His name is Alex Montoya. He was born without arms or one of his legs. He published a book about his life last year, and as it happens, I've been reading it!
He grew up in San Diego, and his dream was to work with the Padres. Well, he's finally working for them, and he's at the ballpark all the time. I first heard about him when 4SD had a feature about him. It was really cool to meet him, to shake his hook, to talk to him about his book. He was a really nice guy. Meeting him was definitely a highlight of my day.
It was soooo much fun to be there at PETCO Park! We had a great time. I really enjoyed it. It was so great to get out and support my team, check out how they are doing.
I have Spring Break this week, so it's going to be a lot of fun to concentrate on the Padres as they open the season tonight. I am so excited!!
Here are some random pictures from yesterday:

It was a really fun day, and I'm so glad I got to go. Thanks Dad and Mom!
Tonight is the opening game of the season for the Padres, Jake Peavy against Hiroki Kuroda. It's going to be so much fun to see how my Padres do this year. I am so excited!! GO PADRES!!!
(photo credits: me, tatepublishing.com)
I ♥ San Diego!
Well. Let's just say that the players were anxious to get back to San Diego, so they weren't fully concentrated on the game. We lost to the Mariners 18-3. Yeah. Chris Young threw 3.2 innings and gave up nine runs on nine hits with four walks. Not very good, but of course he was thinking about getting back to his wife and daughter. Scott Hairston hit a homer, though.
Last night, some of the Padres played their Double-A team. The Missions came out on top 7-3. It was not the best game for the Padres, but Kouz had two hits!!
I don't think I'm going to have the time to blog this weekend, which means that my next entry will be a report on the Fan Day! As you all know, I super excited along with Hyun Young and Jen. I am really excited about getting to go downtown.
I am pretty much obsessed with downtown San Diego. I love just going anywhere near it. I love even going down the highway towards it! We went to a party in La Jolla last week, and we went part of the way that we go downtown. I was pretty excited! Kind of weird, I know. But I LOVE downtown!
I'm sure that the majority of my love for downtown San Diego is because of this:
I LOVE PETCO PARK!!! That place is my favorite place to be. I absolutely love this ballpark. It's so beautiful! And it's in downtown San Diego. I live about 45 minutes from downtown, so I'm not used to all the buildings. But I love it! I love how crowded, how busy it is. I love the towering buildings.
(Hyun Young and Jen – just FYI we're going to be meeting at these gates!)
I am so obsessed with downtown San Diego. Like I said, I love just going anywhere near it. And on Sunday, I have the extreme privilege of going to the place that I dream about: the gorgeous Petco Park. I haven't been there in about seven months. I miss that place, and I am so excited that I get to go to Petco Park. It's going to be so much fun just to be there! I'm going to take so many pictures it won't be funny. Thankfully, I have room for 1000 pictures on my camera🙂
I was born in a hospital near downtown San Diego, so I think that's where part of my extreme love and loyalty for the city comes. I loooooooove San Diego!!!!
This is my home. This is where I was born, where my loyalties lie. I love San Diego!
Tonight we are playing the Angels at Petco Park in the first of two games in the So-Cal exhibition games. I can't believe we're going to be in Petco!! Very exciting!!

The End of the Beginning
First off, let me clarify some things from yesterday's entry, which was obviously an April Fool's joke. The Padres won 6-5 on Tuesday, and my brother's team lost 17-10 on the same night. So, in my report of the game, I mixed the two. Also, Moorad has no such ideas (that I know of). Except hopefully he has the same feelings about Trevor, though. So, that was a fun entry to write, but it is not true. APRIL FOOLS!!
- 6-1 Padres
Down to business. My Padres are rolling, man! They've won five out of their last six. I know it's only spring, but they picked a good time to get things going.
Jake Peavy started, giving up four hits in five innings with three strikeouts. Incredible! He did not give up a run in 14 innings this spring. Sure, he fell apart at the WBC, but he's doing great right now. I am so excited about the season he can have this year. He's definitely going to be a highlight for the Padres, no matter what happens.
Edwin Moreno pitched a scoreless inning. Check it out: his ERA this spring is 0.66. Yeah! Put him in my bullpen! Isn't that great? I think he's going to be good.
Adrian Gonzalez hit a huge two-run homer (with a bro-BI – brother batted in!). Luis Rodriguez had two hits and drove in three runs. Chase Headley had two hits also.
I am so pumped about my Padres, it's sooo cool! I'm really excited about Fan Day, and then Opening Day the next day. Looking at the roster, we look really good. Sure, we aren't the Yankees, but we've got some solid players.
Check out our bullpen: Heath Bell, Cla Meredith, Edward Mujica, Arturo Lopez, Edwin Moreno, Frankie De La Cruz, and Duaner Sanchez. Very Latino bullpen this year, huh?
We didn't expect a bullpen like this. I mean, Mujica joined the team yesterday! But I'm really excited about these guys. I hope they do extremely well for us.
Just FYI, here's our rotation: Jake Peavy, Chris Young, Walter Silva, Kevin Correia, and Shawn Hill. Looking good…
Today the Padres are playing the Mariners. Chris Young will pitch for the last time before his start on Tuesday. Since it's the last spring game for the Padres, we all know what that means – the starters will play a few innings, then it's the invasion of the minor leaguers.

Crazy Game and Strange Ideas
- 17-10 Padres
It was a crazy game! Shawn Hill started and gave up nine runs in the first two innings. It looks like he's going to be in the rotation, but I'm not sure if I really want him there. Luke Gregerson threw two solid innings, which is good. Heath Bell came into the ninth to save the game. He got a couple outs, but he allowed a single and stolen base. With the tying run at third, I think he got a full count on the last batter of the game. The hitter took a called strike to end the game. Heath was obviously not the best, but he got out of the inning.
The hitters did pretty well. They were behind badly, but they were able to get a few runs. Eliezar Alfonso and Brian Giles each hit a homer. Adrian Gonzalez had three hits. Jody Gerut had two hits. Some of the younger guys were really good. There was this one hitter on the other team, the Phillies, who was huge! He looked like he belongs in the next division. He just killed us. But our hitters did very well. They were able to get seven runs in the bottom of the sixth, though that fell seven runs short. Oh well. But it was a pretty cool game!
I mean, you win some, and you lose some. It was great to get that win after a great weekend, but we severed a five game winning streak! Let's just hope we can get back on track as the season starts and goes on!
So, I was doing a little research on the Padres' new owner, Jeff Moorad. Apparently he has a lot of new plans for the Padres. Very interesting…Petco Park is certainly going to be very different with him in control. First of, he loved carousels when he was a kid. As a result, he thinks the Friar Faithful would like to have some carousels around the park.
Of course, you would have to pay to go on one of these.
His menu improvements seem like they would be pretty drastic as well. He's been in Arizona for a while, so I think he's picked up some weird ideas from there. For example, he thinks that San Diego fans would appreciate special food like THIS
and THIS
But the best part is that Moorad believes that this guy needs to be back in a Padres uniform next year:
Now that makes me like Moorad, no matter what weird ideas he has!!
Today we are the playing the White Sox…probably. Chris Young might be starting. Who knows if the game will start at 1:05? Maybe we will win!
I hope you all have a great day! Haha!

Sharon Heights walks the walk of missionscomment (0)
January 19, 2012
By Neisha Fuson
In order to add or subtract fractions, there must be a common denominator — a number divisible by the bottom part of the fractions.
The members of Sharon Heights Baptist Church, Brookside, have just that — a common denominator. But for them, it's not a number; it's a calling and command.
"Everything we do, whether a cook-off, a WMU (Woman's Missionary Union) meeting, everything has a common denominator of evangelism," Pastor Jason Dunlap said.
Dunlap, who has served as pastor of the North Jefferson Baptist Association church for 12 years, sees evangelism as an obvious goal for the body of Christ.
"It seems like [Christians] try to make [evangelism] difficult," he said. "It doesn't have to be hard. Keep it simple."
Dunlap said the pulpit is the main promoter of evangelism. "If pastors are not behind [evangelism], no one (in the church) will want to save souls."
So he makes sure his church members know the mission: "base their whole being" in winning souls for Christ.
They go about that in different ways.
For the most part, the church focuses on its Jerusalem — Brookside. It has specific needs that Gardendale or Fultondale, just 10 miles away, does not have, Dunlap said.
Every week, the church offers Zumba dance-fitness classes and Better Image, a Bible-based weight loss program.
Each year, Sharon Heights Baptist hosts two archery events and a golf tournament. The gospel is always shared at every event.
This year, Sharon Heights will open a food bank and start a recovery/counseling group for people with drug and alcohol addictions.
Steve Loggins, North Jefferson Association director of missions, has seen the church sacrificially give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering every year, but in the last decade, he has seen it "step up and put feet to [its] giving."
"I am very thankful for [Sharon Heights]," Loggins said. "A lot of people will talk the talk, but [Sharon Heights] walks the walk (of missions)."
Of course, the church reaches to the ends of the earth, too.
The church is involved in missions in Guatemala, where a team has traveled for missions for the last seven years. This year, Sharon Heights plans to be a part of a team of five North American churches that will participate in a church plant in Guatemala.
But it's not about the frequency, size or location of the events and activities, Dunlap said.
"Evangelism is important because Jesus commanded us to do it," he said. "In Matthew 28, Jesus told [Christians] to go. So if we go, He'll bless it."

Bay Brawl: Cal to Tangle with No. 9 Stanford
from press release
BERKELEY – California travels to Stanford, Calif., to renew its rivalry with the ninth-ranked Cardinal at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 1, at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium. The Golden Bears bring an 8-4 overall record and a three-game winning streak into the match with the defending Mountain Pacific Sports Federation champion. After playing two early MPSF games, Cal has led the conference with a 2-0 record for much of the season. Stanford, which recently lost its first game of the year, has an 9-1 record (1-0 in the MPSF).
Cal has a 6-21 record in the all-time series with Stanford. The last time the Bears beat the Cardinal was on Feb. 23, 2008, in Theresa Sherry's second game as head coach; Cal won, 11-9, in Memorial Stadium. Stanford ended Cal's 2010 season, edging the Bears, 9-7, in an MPSF Tournament semifinal.
Tara Arolla Earns MPSF Player of the Week Award
Tara Arolla led Cal to wins in its last three games to earn the MPSF Player of the Week award, the conference announced on March 28. The weekly award is the Golden Bears' first of the season.
A junior attacker and co-captain, Arolla posted seven goals and three assists as the Bears edged Drexel, 10-9, on March 23 and La Salle, 9-8, on March 25 in Philadelphia and then routed Villanova, 11-2, on March 27 in Villanova, Pa. The wins gave Cal a 3-1 record on its spring break road trip, after the Bears opened with a 16-4 loss at Ohio State on March 20.
Arolla collected two goals – including the gamewinner – and one assist in the win over Drexel. She added four goals, including the winner, in the victory over La Salle and tallied one goal and two assists in Cal's triumph at Villanova. Arolla also collected eight ground balls and five draw controls over the three-game span.
She leads the MPSF with four game-winning goals and ranks second in the league with 11 free-position goals. Arolla paces the Bears in goals (29), points (36) and draw controls (24) and also has seven assists and 17 ground balls.
Scouting the Golden Bears
The three-game winning streak is Cal's longest of the year and longest since the Bears won four straight near the end of the 2010 season.
Besides Tara Arolla, Cal's other statistical leaders include sophomore midfielder Megan Takacs (10 assists), junior defender Tori Harrison (29 ground balls, 10 caused turnovers), junior midfielder Vail Horn (10 caused turnovers) and senior goalkeeper Allie Shropshire (10.21 goals-against average in 12 starts). Harrison ranks second in the MPSF in ground balls and ground balls per game (2.64).
Theresa Sherry is in her fourth year as head coach and fifth year overall at Cal, at which she served as an assistant coach in 2007. She collected the 2008 MPSF Coach of the Year accolade in her first year as head coach.
Scouting the Cardinal
Stanford, which won its first four games at home before playing its next five on the road, returned to Cagan Stadium to beat Brown, 12-8, on March 29. The Cardinal had been unbeaten and ranked No. 7 in the nation before losing to then-No. 15 Vanderbilt, 15-10 loss, in Nashville, Tenn. Senior midfielder Lauren Schmidt, a two-time MPSF Player of the Year, scored two goals against the Commodores, while senior midfielder Karen Nesbitt led the Cardinal with a hat trick.
Senior midfielder Leslie Foard leads Stanford in goals (24, tied with Sarah Flynn), points (33) and draw controls (27). Other stat leaders include junior midfielder Emilie Boeri (19 ground balls, 18 turnovers), Anna Boeri (11 assists), Nesbitt (12 caused turnovers) and senior goalie Annie Read (9.71 GAA in 10 games). Read started against Vandy, but freshman Lyndsey Munoz played the last 43:06 of the game and made seven saves in the loss. Head coach Amy Bokker is in her third season at Stanford.
Last Game
Cal scored the first 11 goals of the game en route to an 11-2 thrashing of Villanova on March 27 at Villanova Stadium. Megan Takacs (2 goals, 1 assist), sophomore attacker Alexa Rozelle (2 goals, 1 assist) and Tara Arolla (1 goal, 2 assist) led the Golden Bears with three points each. The Bears now have a 3-0 advantage in the all-time series with Villanova (4-4).
Next Time
Cal hosts Oregon on April 8 at a site to be determined. The artificial turf at Witter Rugby Field in Berkeley is being replaced due to unanticipated structural issues, necessitating the move from Cal's home. The Bears will honor midfielder Emily Abbood, midfielder Chapin Jackson and goalkeeper Allie Shropshire prior to the match as part of Senior Day.

Story Details
Here i'm going to give a lot more details about the back-story, about the characters, the situation, the setting, and just general details about the story so far. This page is only for those who want more of a roleplaying experience, or perhaps are just curious to learn more about the story that this campaign follows. If there seems to be any inconsistent info or any apparent errors, please let me know since as of right now, not all details of the story or the campaign are final, and are always subject to change.
So far:
In the year 2580, the Zerg went into disarray after many years of organized rule by a rumored one known by many names. At this time, the terran armies were finally colonizing new and unknown planets in hopes of starting new lives, and settling down. Things at this time were peaceful, and even with the Zerg in disarray, it was rare for there to be any serious hostile activity from the creatures. Since 2580, the Zerg have never had one official ruler, nor were there any means of controlling the race as a whole. However, most Zerg across the galaxy organized themselves into smaller broods, and albeit harmless, these Zerg were able to comfort themselves and find peace and organization. The Zerg that didn't find such a brood, usually died off, and only in rare cases, became hostile. The term "Brooding" was coined by the humans, as many people noticed that the Zerg were recuperating slowly from their recent pitfall. Suspicions often arose within nearby colonies about these suddenly "reunited" Zerg, though there had never been a case of any organized brood turning hostile.
However, everything changed by the year 2598. Suddenly, certain broods began attacking colonies for no apparent reason, people began dying off mysteriously, and soon after, entire sectors, and even entire planets, were being overrun by these broods. Lacking the resources or gunpower to fight back, many colonies were eliminated. Four years later, and reports began pouring in about an Infestation, supposedly released by toxins of dead Zerg and live ones alike. It was said that if these toxins were inhaled, that soon after, any person could become a mindless infested, an unloyal servant and minion to the leader of any given brood, depending on the strain of toxin.
It wasn't long after that the Infestation became problematic for the Zerg. While the broods seemed to work together in attacking and destroying colonies, no former alliance was ever formed. Desputes between the broods arose, and soon, war erupted. This war, known as "The War of the Broods", caused further division among the Zerg broods, and provided the colonists the time they needed to form their own militia, the Colony Militia, and allowed for another military organization to intervene: The Hand of Dawn. The Hand of Dawn, at the time, was one of the more powerful military groups in the sector, and were the best hope for crushing the Zerg broods, and the impending threat. In 2603, the Hand of Dawn intervened, and official began fighting the Zerg broods. For 2 more years, the fight went on, and at the time it seemed clear that the Hand of Dawn would be successful, and live up to its high-revered status. This changed, when the Zerg broods however, were united by a queen known now only as "The Mother". Even now, it remains a mystery how the Zerg broods became a part of The Mother's Brood, however this allegiance greatly turned the tides of war in favor of the Zerg. The Mother's new united brood became more and more powerful, and utilizing the infested, it presented a large challenge to the Hand of Dawn to compete. Up until 2607, the war was at a stalemate, but despite the Zerg's increased efforts, the Mother's Brood did not prevail. In 2610, the last hive was destroyed, and it was thought that the Zerg threat was finally dealt with.
This temporary silence, did not infact, mean safety for the colonists. In 2614, the Zerg made an appearance on Naar, another colonial planet. Ever since, the Zerg have fought fiercer and harder than ever before, and the Hand of Dawn has once again answered the desperate call for help by the colonists, however to their surprise, the Zerg have been much harder to deal with, and with newly evolved tricks and tactics, the Hand of Dawn has suffered tremendous casualties at the hand of the Mother's Brood. As the war raged on further, the Hand of Dawn was hard-pressed to continue fighting the Zerg at the current pace, and soon, Naar would be overrun. It was 2615 before Commander Cain Monahue, considered "the best of the best" was called in to deal with the increasing Zerg threat. Commander Monahue, and his elite team, are finally on Naar and ready to assist any way they can, and hopefully help to push the Zerg back, and eventually, destroy them. Once and for all. It was only until Monahue arrived on Naar, that he was informed of The Hand of Dawn's new plan, to develop a highly intelligent combat AI to assist mechs in the battle against the Zerg, and hopefully turn the tides of war. Fortunately, it doesn't take long for Dawn technicians to create the AI, but for it to be effective, all combat AI's must be equip with it, and the only place large enough on Naar is Station 517; the planet-wide military center and the holder of a high-capacity, intergalactic database. If the Hand of Dawn can successfully get the AI there, then all mechs should easily be able to update themselves, and an immediate change in the war effort should be seen. Commander Monahue and his forces, are specially tasked with making sure the AI gets to Station 517 in one piece, and to ultimately ensure the Hand of Dawn can fulfill its duty to protect and serve the innocent.

The Council:: Sometimes known as "The Council of Peace" The Council was formed to bring several major empires and groups together for the protection and mutual benefit of all. Most major organizations, kingdoms, legions, and empires joined with the Council, gaining the benefits of mutual protection and additional resources. Many times, the Council is seen working out minor disputes between groups, but only on occasion has the Council ever had to use military action. As of now, the Council's only known enemies are the anarchist groups that seek to tear it down, and the Mother's Brood, which has becom an intergalactic threat through means unknown.
The Hand of Dawn:: The Hand of Dawn was formed in 2525 to deal with several anarchist and terrorist groups on the edges of the Koprulu sector began wreaking havoc. The military organization began as a vigilante group, but soon grew to a small militia and not long after that, it began a well-known military organization founded by Charles Andley. The Hand of Dawn was among the first of all groups to join with the Council of Peace, and ever since, the Hand of Dawn has only grown more and more powerful. The Hand of Dawn now serves as an intergalactic first response team, aiding groups in need usually when the Council's formal military can't handle the situation, or is out of reach of the group in distress. Because of this, even today, the Hand of Dawn is a well-respected authority figure throughout the galaxy, despite having any real authority.
The Namiel Empire:: The Namiel, or Namien Empire has always been an experienced, aggressive empire that's been constantly expanding for centuries. This Protoss empire boasts its' strength and power throughout the galaxy, but despite their aggressive appearance and stature, the Namiel Empire has yet to take any hostile action to expand itself against terran or Zerg. The Namiel Empire has been a recent ally of the Council, though despite some protests, the Namiel empire refuses to send any resources or to give military aid to the Council of Peace for unknown reasons.

Stories and reflections on the Buddhist approach to life
Updates and reports from around the world
by Julie Bygraves, UK
When I started to practice Buddhism while at the University of Manchester, my ideas about my longer-term career started to crystallize into a desire to work in environmental conservation. I was studying ecology and Spanish, and my course included a year in Barcelona studying forest growth, gaining fluency in Spanish.
After graduating, despite a lack of financial resources, I found ways to undertake some voluntary work in Madagascar, where I conducted ecological research on coral reefs and helped provide information to support local people's calls for the protection of their natural resources. I saw here that the key to protecting the coral reefs was to work with people. Other work for a research organization broadened my perspective on the links between conflict, threats to human rights, the land and the environment. I saw that the areas with the richest wildlife and natural resources are often areas where there are complex emergencies and humanitarian crises caused by conflict and extreme poverty. These experiences helped me understand more clearly than ever the importance of the human element in environmental protection.
I began to develop the attitude that my life isn't just about surviving or solving problems that arise, it's about taking a proactive approach to life.
I returned to university to complete a Master's degree in Environmental Policy, and left for the second time in 2004, at the age of 25, excited about the prospect of working for environmental conservation. But this excitement soon gave way to a sense of frustration at the difficulty of finding paid work in this field. I worked in some short-term jobs, and continued to hold onto my determination to work in environmental policy, but often struggled with the feeling that things weren't changing or moving forward for me.
I knew that change had to start from me. I began to develop the attitude that my life isn't just about surviving or solving problems that arise, it's about taking a proactive approach to life, where I set out to do something and continue come what may, focusing all the time on my long-term aims, seeing setbacks in their longer-term context.
My great treasure from this time is the encouragement I received from people I met through SGI-UK, who helped me see that, wherever I worked, I could find joy there and a way of making a positive contribution to society, and that this transformation would enable me to move forward.
Through my Buddhist practice I also developed my confidence and ability to encourage others and support them in fulfilling their own dreams.
I believe a fulfilling life is about striving to create happiness, among friends, family, the local community and the workplace. I started to take action and build joy in every area of my life, for example through talking to my local council about the local park, which resulted in children from the local school becoming involved in a tree-planting day.
related article An Inextricable Connection by Amy Yomiko Vittor, USA Amy Yomiko Vittor, USA, inspired by Buddhist philosophy, studied the link between human health and the environment and followed her dream of making a truly lasting contribution I have now worked for a central government agency for four years, and find it amazing that in many ways what I do builds on the skills I developed at times when my job seemed most irrelevant. I started in a short-term support role, which developed into working now in an area which I have always felt most passionate about: forest protection and restoration. My work includes helping bring in new approaches to prevent illegal logging, which is a major driver of tropical deforestation, as well as helping to bring colleagues together to solve problems, making new links between our work areas and putting policies into a broader context. My ability to do this has emerged from having worked with people from all walks of life in jobs throughout my career.
I am motivated by the wish to change the tendency to see wildlife simply in terms of its value in maintaining human livelihoods and security. While this is important, I believe we need to recognize that in losing habitats and wildlife in our environment, we are losing a piece of ourselves. With this motivation, I would like to ensure space is made for nature and wildlife in every corner of our lives.

When you want to settle a dispute without going to court, you may benefit from the services of an arbitration lawyer. In an arbitration setting, you and the other involved party select a neutral third person to serve as an arbitrator. Acting in the role of an informal judge, the arbitration lawyer listens to both sides of your dispute. Unlike a court proceeding, arbitration involves no formal procedural rules and gives you a chance to tell your story in your own words. After hearing the arguments, the arbitrator makes a final binding decision. The decision is legally enforceable if someone later tries to renege. The arbitration process is very similar to court litigation but is more casual, flexible, and private—and less expensive and time-consuming.

CU engineering students are getting an "out of this world" education from two former astronauts now serving on the faculty in aerospace engineering sciences.
Astronauts Jim Voss, who received his master's in aerospace engineering at CU-Boulder in 1974 and an honorary doctorate in 2000, and Joe Tanner, a graduate of the University of Illinois, bring 43 years of combined experience at NASA, including nine spaceflights, 11 spacewalks, and more than eight months of total time in space.
Voss and Tanner are teaching graduate and undergraduate students, advising students in hands-on design projects, and helping to advance the graduate program in bioastronautics led by Professor David Klaus.
"At first, talking to Joe and knowing he was an astronaut, I thought, 'Wow, that's really impressive,'" says CU graduate student Christine Fanchiang. "Then, when we had a lot of questions about the space shuttle, I came to realize how helpful it really is to have him and Jim as advisors."
Fanchiang is working with other students to develop a software package that optimizes the arrangement of life support and other components vital to astronaut operations in a spacecraft. The work is part of a research partnership CU-Boulder has with Sierra Nevada Space Systems, which is designing and building a manned spacecraft called the Dream Chaser intended to replace the space shuttle for transporting humans and cargo into low-Earth orbit.
CU-Boulder is the place for aerospace. From conceptualizing to planning, building and creation, student teams apply engineering concepts in hands-on design courses and consistently win national awards. Through independent study, students can impact the real world by helping to develop hardware for payloads that carry experiments to the International Space Station, participating in Mission Operations, or designing and building satellites for launch. Students learn leadership skills and are exposed to project management and systems engineering while working on complex aerospace engineering projects. Extracurricular activities like the Design, Build, Fly competition and the Colorado Space Grant Consortium provide additional opportunities to explore real-world applications of your aerospace engineering major. Students also can participate in the student chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics on campus and in the group CU Students for the Exploration and Development of Space.
Eighteen CU-Boulder affiliates have flown in space as NASA astronauts, making CU one of the nation's top five non-military schools for producing astronauts. In 2010 the National Research Council ranked the aerospace PhD program among the top four in the nation, and the FAA chose CU-Boulder for a Center of Excellence for Commercial Space Transportation. An innovative idea for a hybrid engine went from undergraduate project to an incubated company through eSpace, the Center for Space Entrepreneurship, which is dedicated to commercializing new technologies for space.
Aerospace engineering faculty have been highly successful in winning grants for their research, which provides exciting opportunities for students to be involved in such projects as the Dream Chaser next-generation crew vehicle being developed by Sierra Nevada Corp., and DANDE, a student-designed small satellite that won a national competition. CU-Boulder aerospace chairs launched the Aerospace Systems Science and Engineering Initiative, a college-wide enterprise allowing faculty and students from many disciplines to focus on technology development to solve critical problems in the Earth and space sciences.
Research in the department is organized into four focus areas: aerospace engineering systems; astrodynamics and satellite navigation systems; bioastronautics; and remote sensing, Earth, and space sciences. Coursework in these focus areas can satisfy technical and/or design elective requirements for undergraduate students, while independent study and undergraduate research opportunities complement the curriculum. Graduate students are admitted into a specific focus area, which provides research advising, financial support, and sets specialized admission and program requirements.
CU aerospace engineering graduates work within the private-sector aerospace industry or for federal government agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and the U.S. Air Force. Many CU graduates can be found at companies such as ATK, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., and the United Launch Alliance. A number of small start-up companies in the aerospace industry also hire CU grads.
About 20 percent of CU-Boulder engineering bachelor's graduates (college-wide) continue onto graduate school, gaining admittance to top schools such as MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, University of California Berkeley, and the University of Texas at Austin.
Employment for aerospace engineers is projected to have an average growth rate, with employment projected to increase 7 to 13 percent through 2018. New graduates continue to be needed due to the retirement of current aerospace engineers. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
The average entry-level salary nationally for aerospace engineers in 2010 was $60,620; CU-Boulder graduates with a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering sciences reported an average starting offer of $56,086.

I have a very humbled and sad feeling inside when I type this. If it doesn't come across well, if my grammar stinks and spelling is horrid I am sorry. This type of message is one I never want to relay, it is one that pains me before I even begin.
Last Thursday morning I woke to an email from Benjamin Wilson. Ben is not only a club member, but is a main sponsor of em:pwr with his company Delivery Path. The email went something along the lines that he was hit the evening before in downtown (Uptown) Charlotte. He was fine, just was released from the ER but very shaken up and freaked out. He then asked me to call him ASAP.
I called Ben as soon as I could to talk through his worries and fear. His bike was totaled. He had a police and witness report. He was okay. He was scared. He was freaked out. Everything he explained was exactly how I felt 6 months earlier. I did my best, explaining that it is all needed and what I did to get through it..
Over the past week I've been trying to keep tabs on Ben. Keeping his spirits high, or as best as I can. Hoping that talking to someone that has been there and is back on the road would help!
Fast forward to today… A little after lunch I get a call from George Berger. He has been added to the list of Charlotte based bike accidents. I haven't gotten a full story but he's fine. He somehow "dismounted" his bike during the accident and now the frame and rear wheel are the only thrashed parts, not him.
Somber. Sad. Feeling for my two friends as I know exactly how they are feeling. George sounded like he was in better spirits than Ben. We'll get through this guys and hopefully em:pwr others to fix this!
