Japanese closer Kyuji Fujikawa and the Chicago Cubs have reached agreement on a two-year contract for $9.5 million, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the signing has not been announced. Foxsports.com first reported the deal. The 32-year-old Fujikawa pitched for two-time World Baseball Classic champion Japan and played in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He had 220 saves in 12 seasons with Hanshin and became an unrestricted free agent last month. Closer Carlos Marmol remains on the Cubs' roster. The team tried to trade him to the Los Angeles Angels for starting pitcher Dan Haren last month, but that deal fell apart. Fujikawa gets a $1 million signing bonus, and $4 million salaries in 2013 and 2014. The deal includes a vesting option for a third year at $5.5 million or $6 million based on games played. If the option doesn't become automatic, the Cubs could then pay him $5.5 million or buy ...

Alpha Males
Essay by: Bill Rayburn
Status: Finished
Genre: Non-Fiction
Alpha Males
There are 3 types of Alpha Males.
The obvious Alpha Male, a man who needs to fill the role of top dog. A man who requires control and demands compliance. Flamboyant in displaying his Alpha-ness. Basically, an asshole. You can almost picture the hat on backwards and the jaw popping his gum every 3 seconds. His strength, for what it is, comes from numbers. Alone he is almost pathetic, rudderless.
The subtle Alpha Male has the same needs, the same desire for control and command, and yet uses guile in order to fly below the radar, keeping his homies on a string and under his influence. This guy is greasy, untrustworthy, consistently dishonest, and self absorbed. A bad guy. Employing stealth as if he were a spider, strictly to serve his own needs.
Then there is the reluctant Alpha Male. This man has all the skills and influence that lures less confident men to follow his lead, but not only does not need the sycophantic adulation of other men, he doesn't pursue it or want it. He needs no entourage, eschews sycophants, and embraces total independence.
And because of that independence, he radiates confidence. And that is the elixir that other men are drawn to. Women as well. Confidence is a true aphrodisiac. There are many pretenders, but confidence is very difficult to fake. False bravado is loud, and transparent to the educated eye and ear. Genuine confidence is a quiet song, a night light to the wayward moth.
The more obvious Alpha Male comes from a mindset of insecurity. And the men who respond to that type of Alpha Dawg will have the same foundation; insecurity. It's usually an unseemly display and most women who possess any level of sophistication will avoid that group at all costs. We've all seen these clowns. One smug guy determining the dynamics and direction for a group of Pavlovian dogs, and that direction usually leads to infantile behavior. It is hegemony, on a frat boy level.
Perhaps even more sinister, however, is the subtle Alpha Dawg. He is clearly the smartest one in the bunch, by his own choosing, yet manipulates each guy so that he has their loyalty. He can create infighting amongst the troops if he feels there is possible insurgency ahead. He divides the forces so they cannot ever unite against his stealth rule. This man will be attractive to women, but only for a short time. Any woman of substance with decent radar for BS will see this guy for what he is, and bail at the first opportunity. Of course, some women will succumb to his supposed charms, and will live to regret it.
The reluctant Alpha Male?
This guy is complex. His foundation of independence, confidence, even misanthropy, is an almost chemical allure for both men and women. The fact that he doesn't need or want an entourage or following makes many people want to follow him. It is an irony, a contradiction, and inevitable.
His dismissal of people is his allure, because it is interpreted as strength.
He is the true Alpha Male for his leadership happens organically.

" Adbaston / Eccleshall / Staffordshire / England / ST20 0QB / Tel/Fax: 01785 280205 "
Today I went and visited Offley Grove farm as a potential place to have my wedding and I have to say it was absolutely splendid. I found out about it on the internet and the website gives you a big idea on what it looks like but no idea on what it actually has to offer. This review will tell you all it has to offer ion terms of being a bed and breakfast and also a wedding venue.
The address is as follows;
Offley Grove Farm
To get there if Im being honest is only easy if you have directions printed off so make sure you do. It is located in a lovely location surrounded by big houses and many farms and is basically a very green area. It is very quiet and you do get the feeling you are out in the middle of nowhere although you are only half an hour away from the bustling town centre of Stafford which is great. You can get to it just off junction 14 of the M6 and it is easily found from there.
Driving up to the farm is amazing as you can really take into account the stunning scenery. As we drove to the car park which is signposted, you can see so many cows and ducks in the fields who all look at you which I love. There was even a friendly horse who came up for a fuss.
The reception area is very sweet and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. They even let us fuss their new puppy for a little while and you can really tell they are excited about weddings here.
Where you actually get married is a very sweet little room which has its own toilet and kitchen area. It looks like a small barn with amazing beams and it has a very cosy feel about it which is nice. Then you have a marquee in the gardens and the gardens are huge with plenty of space for over 100 people to come to your wedding.
The gardens and the setting of all the farmers fields is also gorgeous for you to have your all important wedding photos done which is nice.
The guest cottages are beautiful and I have to say full of character, every single one. They have four and two sleep four and the other two sleep six or eight. There are facilities also for young babies to stay there. Each cottage has a living room area, a kitchen, several showers and bathrooms and then of course the bedrooms.
Each of the cottages is different in their layout and in their size but they are all stunning. We walked in each one and just went wow as they are full of character and I cannot stress that to you enough. There are beams all over the place and views over at the fields where you can see the animals and each cottage just feels like you are in a magical place.
The best thing though for me is that each cottage is very warm and we chose to visit on quite a cold day so rest assured that they are all nice and cosy. I could have actually lived there and I told that to my fiancé as they have all the facilities you would ever need and you are in a nice quiet area with brilliant views and to be honest they are just perfect.
For a wedding the cottages are great because the lady was saying that you rent them from the Friday to the Monday so you really do have exclusive use of the whole farm for your wedding which is just fantastic. When you are in them you can see from each a small courtyard with benches so on a sunny day you could go and sit there and just waste the day admiring the beauty which is what I would do.
The prices for a wedding are very reasonable in my opinion for what you get but as every wedding is very different I am not going to quote them here. The prices for accommodation are good though at around £26 per person and you can rent the cottages for a week for about £200 so not that bad at all.
In conclusion I am saying that this is a perfect venue whether you want a quick stay in the country or if you want a truly spectacular wedding. This has made my short list of wedding venues as it is just perfect.
Thanks for reading.

Sanibel 6 At Blind Pass
We finally got down to Blind Pass last night just in time to catch the -0.1 low tide. As usual, the beach has changed since a week ago when we were there last and the sand bars have shifted. The best thing was… more shells! And I met Shelling Sistah Lisa (a Virginia Beach girl too!) with her blue shell bag filling up with The Sanibel Six and more like a TURKEY WING and some sweet KITTEN'S PAWS.
Lisa's husband Eric (they are both teachers- love those teachers!) was doing just as well…
Eric told me he found something "a little different" ….. he found a beautiful NUTMEG!
I also met Denise and PC from Savannah, GA with…. yep, the Sanibel Six along with TURBANS and more plus a WORMIE!! I was surprised to see there were a few WORM SHELLS out there too ;).
Then the sky started turning dark and the storm was getting closer. I know, look at all those larger shells on the beach! They were mostly PEN SHELLS, cracked FIGHTING CONCHS and DOSINIAS.
And look what the backhoe pulled up in one scoop! An ALPHABET CONE and a TRUE TULIP! That was the last hurrah. We headed off the beach before the storm got any closer.
Most of you probably don't use Twitter but I sometimes enjoy a small tweet or two….. especially yesterday when I got this tweet from @Lifesabeach that said "What we found at Blind Pass yesterday". This photo was attached ( you can click on it to go to her photo page)…..Yowza!
Okay I have one more thing….. I need to be serious just for a second. It's about the strong currents and rip tides that occur often at Blind Pass…. especially with the tidal changes. It can be very dangerous! Really! Think about it….the same water that can sweep all of those shells to the shore in a matter of minutes can sweep a person out into danger. Just please be smart and careful(even if you are a strong swimmer!) if you feel a strong current, undertow or rip tides- go shell on the beach or just she shallow water. Okay, I want to leave you on a good note so go back and look at all of Lisa's shells in the first photo so you can smile again!

The Rewards Of Social Shelling
Is there anything cuter than little kids collecting shells on the beach? Little Bella from Ocala was the first person I saw when I got to the lighthouse beach yesterday evening so I knew it would be a fun night. And it was…. because then I met newlyweds Bryn and Nathaniel who love to shell together so much that Nathaniel proposed to Bryn with a JUNONIA shell! Now that's love! Congratulations to you!
Then I found out that she was the daughter of Robin from my post back in April Smiles For Seashells . She was there too and found a really nice size BABY'S EAR. I love that happy smile!
Robin's close- up BABY'S EAR…..
Then Robin told us where the real action was. In the water. Sheri from Texas found a shellovely LIGHTNING WHELK by sittin-n-siftin in the shallows at the tip of the lighthouse beach.
This Texan gal found her state shell! You see she was prepared with her trusty garden claw for digging.
We dug around out in the water too and found all but the TULIP in the Sanibel Six ( the OLIVE didn't make it in the photo).
So in the midst of our socializing, Clark and I were WENTLTRAP-ing and found a little DUSKY CONE along with a little candy and lots of good WENTLETRAPS.
Instead of the sky being black with rain clouds last night, there was a beautiful, colorful swirling sky right over the lighthouse…. magical.
PS- I'm trying to get into the "cool" blogger club (not really such a thing… or is there? Like Groucho Marx said "I don't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member" heehee) so I've added a few social buttons below each post to finally get into the internet world of 2011. You can now "Like" a post for Facebook, tweet this post if you have Twitter, if you have a google account (gmail) you can hit the +1 (Google's answer to the "Like" button) or you can submit it to StumbleUpon. I would be grateful if you clicked any of them! We can be the cool kids together… wait, we already are- nothing gets cooler than the hanging out at the beach!

Ramblings and Rumblings of Sanibel Summer
I can hear the rumbling of a summer storm nearing my house this very minute. My first thought …. no beach for me in the next few hours. My second thought….unplug the laptop! I don't want any power surges to fry my little coconut telegraph to the world.
In the past few days, I haven't spent much time on the beach since we've had so much thunder and lightning with our rain showers and the wind has been coming from the east (not great for shelling). So instead of rambling on about what I've been up to the last few days….. oh wait, I will tell yall about my new purchase since yet another camera experienced a slow death on a salty beach of the islands.
It's just a point and shoot type camera because obviously, I can't be trusted with a really expensive high quality camera any where near sand- ugh. It's another Panasonic (like I had before) I bought at Costco but it's got a few new bells and whistles in this newer model DMC-ZS10.
We went to West Gulf Drive on Friday to try the new camera out and so Clark could inspect the area the Carla found her JUNONIA.
There were still a few small shell piles of SCALLOPS and CLAMS in the wrack lines but caught in some of the grasses, I found this fantastic old surf worn HORSE CONCH I'll use for a yard shell.
We saw a few other shellers but not many buckets filled with goodies. I did see a lot of people with fishing poles.
I saw this one guy pull up a FIGHTING CONCH with his toes while he was fishing. Double duty!
Right after I took this picture, I heard a clap of thunder to let me know it was time to get off the beach.
I'm pretty happy with the new camera but I hope I didn't
whine ramble too much today about the isolated storms and about my bad luck with cameras wearing out too quickly (I'll spare you from the other broken "appliances" stories from the weekend too).
But no worries! I was able to upgrade my camera and feel fortunate I could get it for a fair price. It's also typical that summer storms will happen on a tropical island. The good news is …. there is no doubt there will be sunshine and happy shelling right around the corner that I will be able to share with you through pictures on my new camera!

A Junonia For The Heart
Well, how do you like that? I know yet another thrilled beach comber coveting another JUNONIA prize this week…and you know her too! I just introduced her to you as the Sanibel Seeker in my last post- Shelling Sister Carla Knotts! She found it on the beach half way covered by a COCKLE shell near Blue Dolphin Cottages off West Gulf Drive. She said it wasn't in the water and it wasn't near the wrack line, it was in between on a sand bar that was showing at low tide. If you look at the seventh picture down on my last post Cone Queen, Sanibel Seeker and Golfer Of The Sea, you'll see that area I'm talking about… it's on the right hand side of the photo.
I am so tickled for her. When I met her on the beach the other day, her eyes almost swelled up with tears with joy after telling me what Sanibel means to her. The moment she starts to drive over that causeway to see the island, she tried to explain the emotion that comes over her. It was meant to be that she found her special treasure. As I told Carla congratulations, she smiled at me and pointed to the sky and said "Yep. Thanks to my mom!"

Cone Queen, Sanibel Seeker and Golfer Of The Sea
All eleven of these ALPHABET CONES were found within four days of shelling this week along Sanibel's West Gulf Drive by Wendy from West Palm Beach, FL. Talk about an eye for shelling! And she even found another one that wasn't in that bunch. I'd say she is the CONE QUEEN.
She found these FLORIDA CONES and COLORFUL MOON SHELLS too!
But even when she isn't lucky enough to find all of these CONE shells, she is still having fun picking up other shells with her friends to use as embellishments. Love this- they strung these shells around her straw hat. So cute!
Yes, that hat is awfully cute, but these hats just stole my heart! LaDonna, Carla and Belinda were all sporting their iLoveShelling caps when I saw them on the same beach. Weehooo! Shelling Sistahs!
We had the best time chatting it up when I spotted something pretty nice in Shelling Sistah Carla's shell bag (you might recognize her name from her comments- Carla Knotts!). She found an excellent LIGHTNING WHELK.
She said she was happy they were already finding lots of shells but even happier just be on Sanibel. It holds a special place in her heart and I could see she wanted to capture every second on that beach and never let it go. She's not just a shell seeker but a Sanibel seeker.
Then I ran into our local friends Dick and Mary…..
They look like they have golf clubs, don't they? Belinda said Dick looked like he was the "Golfer of the Sea". It would be appropriate since Clark plays golf with him every Sunday and both admitted they were better shellers than golfers.
The Golfer of the Sea found a pretty nice SHARK'S EYE….
I was tickled when they introduced me to Ernest Hemingway! Errrr, well, he looks like Papa anyway….. and has even won a look-a-like contest in Key West.
It was an amazing day yesterday off beach access #7 to find so many shells but the best thing was to meet many new friends and to see a few old ones too (and I dont mean in age! LOL).

Thread: Porsche now has their own private high speed test track in Italy - Porsche purchases the Nardo Ring high speed circuit
Porsche now has their own private high speed test track in Italy - Porsche purchases the Nardo Ring high speed circuit
Many of you have heard of the Nardo Ring which is basically just a big circle that cars do high speed testing on in Italy. The 7.8 mile long and 4 lane wide track can be seen from space. The banked oval allows high speed runs in excess of 200 miles per hour. Automakers have been renting the track from Protipo SpA (the previous owner) for years but now they will have to speak directly to Porsche to get time on the track. Full press release below.
Porsche Engineering takes over proving ground in Italy
Stuttgart/Nardò. In May 2012, the Porsche Engineering Group will be taking over responsibility for the Nardò Technical Center automotive proving ground in Apulia in southern Italy from Prototipo SpA. With more than 80 years experience in engineering services, the hundred per cent subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, will be further optimising the test facilities and making them available to its clients for testing and trials purposes. Covering an area of more than 700 hectares, the test ground in the Province of Lecce comprises a 6.2 kilometre long handling circuit, a 12.5 kilometre long oval circuit and facilities for simulating different road surfaces and changeable weather conditions.
"The Nardò proving ground with its high-speed and vehicle handling circuit ideally complements our facilities in Weissach. With the systematic development of the company in Nardò as part of Strategy 2018, Porsche is proving to be a reliable employer and business partner in Apulia as well," said Matthias Müller, President and CEO of Porsche AG.
"With its rich array of facilities, from dynamic surfaces to acoustic and off-road sections coupled with the numerous workshops, our clients can continue to make extensive use of Nardò for their vehicle trials in the future as well," said Malte Radmann, CEO of Porsche Engineering. Thanks to the mild climate, the Nardò proving ground can be used throughout the year in three shifts around the clock, seven days a week.
Together with the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach near Stuttgart, the Porsche Engineering Group has been offering Porsche's extensive development expertise as a service to its clients from the automotive industry and other sectors worldwide, from renting test rigs to developing complete vehicles.
I'm the only person who thinks this is absurdly awesome?

(American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Thursday, September 19, 2013 9:14 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
Suffice it to say, the only thing McNeese State's defense wishes to repeat from last week's 44-42 win over West Alabama is the final 35 seconds.
The previous 59:25 saw the Cowboys surrender the most yardage they had in any game since losing to Texas State in 2008.
But the defense did the shoving when push came to shove, sacking Tigers quarterback Kyle Caldwell on back-to-back plays to assure the Tigers' upset bid would fall short.
Defensive end Everett Ellefsen, who provided a sack along with linebacker Brodie Burkhalter, said McNeese will try to approach this week's Weber State game with the same attacking attitude as on that drive.
"Without a doubt, we have something to prove," Ellefsen said. "I'm glad we had last week because we had the opportunity to play all four quarters and it's important we have that before conference starts. But now that we've had that experience, we want our first goose-egg of the season. We want to shut them out."
Though they were beaten for eight plays of at least 20 yards, the defense still displayed a knack for forcing timely turnovers, forcing a trio with UWA on the move.
Hayden Dobbs recovered an ill-timed pitch by Caldwell at the McNeese 17 as the Tigers were driving towards a potential 28-17 lead in the second quarter.
Cornerback Gabe Hamner picked a good time for his first career interception, snagging a deep Caldwell pass at the McNeese 16 midway through the third quarter.
Bo Brown and Michael Ware combined for another key turnover, with Brown forcing a fumble that was recovered by Ware at the McNeese 29 in the fourth.
"We came through when we had to, but we still didn't play our best," Hamner said. "I think the defense really has a chip on their shoulder. We have to step it up and play better."
• TAKING RESPONSIBILITY: For Ellefsen, the last-minute sack was a hugely important individual accomplishment. But not for the reason one would think.
Ellefsen was under the impression he was beaten off the edge when West Alabama blocked McNeese's extra-point kick following the go-ahead touchdown with 46 seconds to play.
"It felt really good. I thought the guy off the edge had blocked the PAT and it was on me," he said. "So if they kicked a field goal, I felt the whole game was on me. I was tired, it was an exhausting game. But I took whatever I had left in me to make a play."
• APPEAL DENIED: McNeese's appeal of linebacker Hayden Dobbs' suspension for the first half of this week's game against Weber State was denied.
Dobbs was called for targeting the head of UWA running back Markeyus Johnson in the fourth quarter, which results in an automaticejection. Though it was not a helmet-to-helmet blow, the NCAA considered it a correctly applied ruling of an above-the-shoulders hit.
Head coach Matt Viator said he was disappointed McNeese lost the appeal, but understands the NCAA is erring on the side of caution when it comes to application of the new rule.
"It's disappointing, but we applaud the rule. That's what it is," Viator said. "To me, intent goes with the word 'targeting,' and there was none of that there. But I'm all for safety, so we'll deal with it."
• SHELBY LIKELY TO REDSHIRT: Fans will likely have to wait another year before seeing freshman wide receiver Kent Shelby on the field.
Shelby recently had to retake his ACT exam from December, which had been flagged by the NCAA due to an increase over his previous score. Viator said if there is no word on Shelby's new score by Monday, the training-camp standout will redshirt this season.
Shelby does not turn 18 until later this season, so Viator said the temporary hurdle might work out well for both team and player in the long run.
"He's too good a player to only play half a year. I'd rather get four years from him," Viator said. "He won't be 18 until the end of November. He's a good kid; he's just young. He could mature a little bit.
"I told him and his mother this may end up being a blessing. Rather than competing for time with Wes (Briscoe), with a good offseason he has a chance to be a feature guy for four years."
• INJURY REPORT: Linebacker Deonte Thompson is questionable after suffering a concussion in the first half of the West Alabama game. … Receivers Wes Briscoe and Deajon Mitchell both practiced this week after leaving the game with injuries, and Viator said their return is probable this week.

I'd recommend Orochon for ramen (Daikokuya is too crowded), Phillipes or Coles for french dip subs, Wurstkuche for sausages, Bottega Louie for a date night, and Bar 107, the Falls, or Seven Grand for drinks
very late to the party here, but...
pizza: pizzanista on 7th mateo. owned by 90s skate legend salman agah, and conveniently located next to tonys saloon, an awesome bar. cheap slices, awesome people.
around the corner:
beer/various food: little bear. great beer selections, great burgers. recommend the meat loaf grilled cheese sandwich. not a pocket killer but can stack up if you keep ordering drinks.
across the street from little bear: church and state. great french cuisine. def a little pricier.
across from wurstkuche: pie hole.
great pies (durr) and coffee. good people watching spot, too. 5-6 bucks a slice.
same block, around the corner: new york snow (inside district bbq).
flavored frozen milk block, shaved ice style, with toppings. they're opening up the highland park one soon. not expensive. bonus: district has pitchers of japanese beer. weird combo, but can fulfill group needs.
ill post more soon.
pre-apologies for the flood, I've lived in the area for 5 years and am a big eater.

Health care is a huge front page news topic these days. Just glance through your local and national newspapers and magazines, listen to the radio, watch TV, and take a look at the social media and blog posts to get an idea of how much concern there is.
This is a perfect time for you as health care providers to market your business and practice using the media. Learning to write press releases (PR) is a good first step to getting the word out about you. Well written and newsworthy press releases can be picked up by the print media as well as radio/TV outlets. To increase your chances of having this happen, here are a few tips.
- It has to be newsworthy. For local media, this might include your grand opening, expanding your services, adding new staff and providers, a change in hours, and launching a new website.
- If there is a health related news event in your community, how have you responded, or what can you offer that has an effect on the situation? A great example of this is a NPBO™ member who generated lots of news by offering a free clinic day.
- Just the facts. If your PR is full of fluff, it won't fly.
- Use a strong title and summary paragraph. You want to capture attention immediately. If it does not, chances are the PR will not be read.
- Capture the five "W's" - Who, What, When, Where and Why in the first sentence. Of course, you'll follow with supporting statements.
- Be concise and avoid spelling and/or grammar errors.
- Break it up. Most often reporters/editors skim press releases until they find something that catches their eye.
- Say it in Laymen's Terms. Not everyone knows our medical lingo.
- Write in third person. It helps prevent your PR from sounding like a sales pitch.
- Keep it to less than one page. Often times, 500 words is the maximum.
Sending press releases on a regular basis is a good way to keep your practice in front of the media. Even if your PR is not picked up as a story, keeping your name in front of the reporters will help them remember you when they need a statement or opinion on a health care related event or incident in your community.
NPBO™ Action Steps:
- List 10 things that may be newsworthy in your business. These can be current or future events.
- List 10 things that you can make a newsworthy comment on.
- If your goal is your local radio and newspaper - read what they are writing/talking about and how.
- Make a list of the media folks in your area that you may want to contact.
- If and when something happens either nationally or locally, and you can respond in a newsworthy manner, do so ASAP. In reporting, time is of essence.

Chilling auction
New York's Office of Mental Health is selling a used, but fully operational, morgue refrigerator and the New York Post highlights the rather grisly listing it has posted on eBay. It's a Norlake Scientific 4-Drawer Morgue Refrigerator from a Manhattan psych ward, and the Post helpfully calculates that it can hold 2000 beer cans. "Every once in a while, we get an unusual item - and this would be that," says a spokeswoman for the Office of General Services, which gets rid of state surplus items like police cars and scrap metal. Two caveats, per the ad: "Buyer must dismantle unit to remove from room," and is responsible for cleaning the unit. Bidding was up to $860. (Source: Newser.com)

Mystery prankster a colony of ants
A woman from Offenburg, Germany, has been kept up at night by ants triggering her doorbell. The 75-year-old became so frustrated at being unable to identify a human culprit that she called the police. Puzzled officers investigated, believing the noise to be the efforts of a prankster, before discovering that a colony of ants had constructed a large nest inside the bell's mechanism, which pressed the switch elements together.

The couple that we are staying with is made up of a super talkative woman and a very quiet man, probably in their sixties and seventies, respectively
Anyway, we came to Chiloe for some magic, some seafood, and some hiking. Following our host's homemade tourist map, we saw some little caves and an old fort and some houses built on stilts in the water (so they didn't have to pay taxes). We wanted to go camp and hike and kayak in the national park where you can we penguins. But you had to pay to get a ride tot he park, pay to enter, pay to camp, pay for a tour to see the penguins, pay to ret a kayak, etc. Way too expensive and a bit too crowded sounding for the quiet camping trip we had in mind. All in all, Chiloe did not quite live up to its hype for us. If we had more time and money, perhaps, but for us it was relaxing and charming and rainy.

Man Rescues Slab of Ribs During Apartment Fire
FRESNO, Calif., Sept. 2 (UPI) -- A California man who ushered his wife and kids out of their home during an apartment complex fire said his first thought was to save his barbecue ribs.
Robert Wright, ribs in hand, gave an interview to KMPH-TV after the fire at his Fresno apartment complex and told the reporter he was barbecuing at 3 a.m. when the fire erupted at the apartment next door.
"The only thing I think first is make sure them ribs is right and I ran over and got my family man," Wright said.
He said he carried his kids out of the apartment and was able to rescue his ribs. Wright explained why he was barbecuing so late at night.
"It was three o'clock in the morning, I was hungry man, I was like put them ribs on there," he said.

Columbia Police say body cameras on officers are working
COLUMBIA, Mo. - All Columbia police officers have been wearing body cameras for a little over a month now. Police Chief Ken Burton told city leaders Tuesday night that there is proof the cameras are working.
He said the cameras have decreased the amount of complaints against officers for use of excessive force, because the calls are all recorded on camera. He also said both citizens and police are held accountable for their actions.
"It gives a true picture -- it's not someone's opinion, it's what actually happened," Burton said.
It begs the question -- would these cameras have helped in Ferguson?
Both Chief Ken Burton and Assistant Chief John Gordon told ABC 17 News that hindsight is 20/20 in situations like Ferguson, but video from a body camera may have provided crucial answers that could have avoided the violent protests.
"I cant help but think the officer having that on their person when things go down so quickly and they have to react to them is just a definite advantage," Burton said.
"Some things could have been taken care of immediately: a lot of those accusations. The truth is obviously there, it's in the video; that could've prevented a lot of things," Gordon said.
Instead, those cameras are helping every day in Columbia as all 102 officers wear them to every call they go on.
They record audio and video as soon as the officer turns them on, and beep every two minutes to let officers and suspects know they're being recorded.
Chief Burton said the footage from the cameras could soon become public record -- available to anyone upon request -- if the prosecutor allows.
"It's probably the best decision we've made since I've been here," Burton said.
Each camera cost around $300.

Indiana Personal Income Tax
Unreimbursed Education Expenses Deduction
A taxpayer who makes an unreimbursed education expenditure during the taxable year is entitled to a deduction against the taxpayer's adjusted gross income of $1,000 for each of the taxpayer's dependent children for whom the taxpayer made education expenditures in the taxable year. A husband and wife are entitled to only one deduction. To receive the deduction, a taxpayer must claim the deduction on the taxpayer's annual state tax return in the manner prescribed by the Indiana Department of Revenue. "Dependent child" means an individual who is eligible to receive a free elementary or high school education in an Indiana school corporation, qualifies as a dependent of the taxpayer, and is the natural or adopted child of the taxpayer or, if custody of the child has been awarded in a court proceeding to someone other than the mother or father, the court-appointed guardian or custodian of the child. "Education expenditure" refers to any expenditures made in connection with enrollment, attendance, or participation of the taxpayer's dependent child in a private elementary or high school education program; the term includes tuition, fees, computer software, textbooks, workbooks, curricula, school supplies (other than personal computers), and other written materials used primarily for academic instruction or for academic tutoring, or both. "Private elementary or high school education program" means attendance at a nonpublic school (as defined in Ind. Code § 20-18-2-12), or an accredited nonpublic school, in Indiana that satisfies a child's obligation for compulsory attendance at a school; the term does not include the delivery of instructional service in a home setting to a dependent child who is enrolled in a school corporation or a charter school. ( Indiana Information Bulletin IT107, 09/01/2011 .)

A Speech For The Ages
President Abraham Lincoln stood before a crowd of about 15,000 people in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was November 19, 1863, and he had been invited to make a few remarks to help dedicate a new cemetery. It took Lincoln only about three minutes to deliver his speech. It was just 271 words long. Little did he know that this speech—called the Gettysburg Address—would become a key moment in U.S. history.
In this video, the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln celebrates the 150th birthday of the ship's namesake by reciting the Gettysburg Address.

Giving to CMC
From the moment students step on Claremont McKenna's campus, they begin their CMC journey. Through their years here they benefit from small class sizes, outstanding faculty, and innovative curriculum. But the CMC journey doesn't happen by accident. Every year, thousands of alumni, parents, students, and friends contribute to the Annual Fund, which supports all aspects of the CMC experience. Their gifts, and yours, make the journey possible.
We would like to introduce you to just three of the more than 1,300 current CMC students, as they share their journey.
There are three ways to make a gift:
Send check to:
400 N. Claremont Blvd.
Claremont, CA 91711
Call (800) GIVE-2-CMC
(800) 448-3226
Donate now
Right now Steve Crown '74 will honor a pledge of four-years to the Alumni Fund, of any amount, with a gift of $500 to the College. Don't wait. Make your gift to CMC today!
Donations to the Parents Fund support the exceptional programs and faculty that made CMC the right choice for your family. Access to the research institutes, fellowships, the Athenaeum and athletic programs have created an environment for your child to thrive, but cannot be covered by the cost of tuition alone. Each year, current and past parents make contributions that bridge the gap and make the CMC experience possible.
Learn more about the other ways you can support CMC.
If you have any questions about giving to CMC that cannot be answered by our website, please contact any one of our staff members and we would be happy to assist you.

The images beamed from Haiti seem to go from very bad to unbearably worse. The nation was already the poorest in the hemisphere before the January 12 earthquake crushed the landscape and killed hundreds of thousands. Then came the sight of more than a million displaced people living in over-crowded, squalid refugee camps.
Then the spread of cholera, with 1,344 dead at last count and estimates that 200,000 more could die in the next six months if the disease continues its fatal march. Amid this chaos comes an election November 28 for a desperately needed new national government that may well be inconclusive, perpetuating the image of a corrupt and crumbling nation unable even to be helped.
But here are other images: The dedication on November 18 of a rehabilitation clinic and prosthetic workshop developed by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and Israeli medical centers in partnership with the Haitian Red Cross and a local hospital. The sight of microbanks such as Fonkoze, a grantee of the American Jewish World Service, giving life-saving loans to women left penniless by the quake. The 2,000 temporary schools that have been built.
"You can't look at Haiti as an island. It's people," says Caryl Stern, president and CEO of the United States Fund for UNICEF. "We as Jews know what it's like when people see us as a stereotype. We can't look at Haitians as stereotypes. It's awful now, yes, but it's so much better than it was. It has changed."
It's understandable that the nongovernmental organizations with stakes in the ground will seek every reason for, if not optimism, then the guarded belief so necessary in the developing world that small, smart steps will lead to broader improvement. That's the job of an NGO: to beat back defeat.
For the rest of us, largely removed from the tools of real action, the obligation of remaining committed to a cause this challenging is difficult to sustain. But we must. Jewish organizations large and small have served, and continue to serve, Haiti in remarkable ways. They haven't left, and neither can we. "We have to stay in Haiti until she's able to stand on her feet," says Stern. And look for brighter images to replace the despair.

Important earthquake preparedness reminder
PALM DESERT, Calif. - KESQ News Channel 3, CBS Local 2 News, and the American Red Cross joined forces on a project called Prepare Coachella Valley.
You've heard it before": get prepared for "the big one". When the ground shook on March 11th, it probably reminded you to make an emergency kit. But, did you?
"Just looking at my friends, the people I play golf with socialize with, not anywhere near enough. Just under ten percent," Kathleen Anamosa of the American Red Cross said.
Willis Huddleston said the number of his friends prepared adds up to ...
"About two to three percent. The ones who have some stuff is about 20%, but that's scattered around the house and they have no idea where it is," Willis Huddleston said.
At this preparedness seminar in Palm Desert, American Red Cross members went over safety plans and precautions.
"You can do it in a day. It's not hard to do. You can go to a hardware store and pick up the tools, the grocery store, or Target or Walmart," Anamosa said.
People learned what to pack.
"At a minimum, people in the desert should have 14 days of water and food. Water needs to be a gallon of water per person per day for everybody in the house," Anamosa said.
Don't forget the preparedness right at your fingertips. You can download the Red Cross app. It tells you a lot, including what to do during and right after an earthquake.
"You need to prepare for what it's going to be. It's going to be big, it's going to be huge, and it's going to be bad," Anamosa said.

With Microsoft's Xbox arguably the pick of current generation consoles (look what I just started there... oops), the Zune HD the most credible iPod touch challenger on the market and gaming on Windows Phone 7 looking cutting edge you'd obviously let the two most important people in your Entertainment and Devices division go wouldn't you?!
Bizarrely that is the startling news out of Redmond today with Microsoft confirming Entertainment & Devices president Robbie Bach (left) and E&D senior VP of design and development and Xbox creator J. Allard (right) have both left the company.
We await an official statement, but in an email to Microsoft employees Steve Ballmer said:
"Transitions are always hard. Robbie has been an instrumental part of so many key moments in Microsoft history–from the evolution of Office to the decision to create the first Xbox to pushing the company hard in entertainment overall. J as well has had a great impact in the market and on our culture, providing leadership in design, and in creating a passionate and involved Xbox community, and earlier being at the center of our work seizing the importance of the Web for the company."
Bach will be 'retiring' after 22 years at the company (aged 48?!) and Allard changing to an advisory role. Interestingly, news of the moves had leaked out earlier in the week, but with a more sour tone. These talked of major disagreements over the cancellation of Microsoft's exciting Courier tablet (video above - courtesy of Engadget) with the two men apparently keen supporters. That said, Microsoft is unlikely to air its dirty laundry in public so we may never know.
Either way, conspiracy theories will be rampant and question marks raised about the future of Microsoft's entertainment plans. Us? We're still just sad the Courier has gone...

Sticky Faith, The Power of Community, and the "C Word"Kara Powell
I feel like I've crossed a line in the health - not mine but others. I feel like I'm no longer talking with my friends about our parents' health issues; we're now talking about our own health issues.
Last week I drove 3 hours to take a friend of mine to get her second chemotherapy treatment. She's only a few years older than me, and her cancer diagnosis is very serious.
What encouraged me the most in my 24 hours with her and her family was all the support that surrounds her. She has a stack of prepared meals in her kitchen, her phone is ringing constantly with folks saying they're praying for her, and a handful of folks stopped by to wish her well.
I thought of my friend as I read this Huffington Post blog on the village it takes to raise children - the type of village my friend, her husband, and her children are experiencing in their time of obvious need. In particular as I thought about the current and future needs of their children, I resonated with this paragraph:
Embrace a "cafeteria lifestyle." When it comes to finding role models for your son and daughter, take some of this, add some of that, throw in a little bit of this, and come up with a combination that is fulfilling. Different personalities, skills, approaches, and temperaments add up to different parenting strengths, whether a person has a biological connection to a child or not. By mining all areas of your life for role models, you'll expose your sons and daughters to a greater variety of opportunity.
One of our Sticky Faith themes is the importance of surrounding our kids with a safety net of adults who can pour into them. That's what my ill friend's kids are experiencing. I think that's the type of community God intends us to experience - in sickness and in health.
It seems to me that there are a handful of important questions we can ask ourselves as we think about the power of community in our own lives, as well as our kids' lives:
1. What kids (other than my own) am I investing in? It's not just about the type of relationships we want for our own kids; it's also about the ways we want to pour into others' kids.
2. What adults are already investing in my kids?
3. Who else would I like to invest in my kids? How can I ask them to be more engaged? You likely already know some adults who could help fill in the gaps that you perceive in your kids' safety net of support.
4. Who would my kids want to invest in them, who is not already? Feel free to ask your kids this very question.
Wouldn't it be great if one of the hallmarks of the church was the way we cared for each other and each other's kids? I'd grin from ear to ear if that's what others were saying about our church.

Late last year I stumbled across a Baptist Reformed blog discussion about a new book that was aimed at refuting infant baptism. With no malice towards those who practice infant baptism, the author of the book explained his aim as that of examining the presuppositions that led to this view with the objective being to convince Baptist to stay Baptist. This turned out to be a fairly comprehensive look at covenant theology, explaining clearly and biblically the differences in how Baptist and Presbyterians look at things.
I am most thankful for the blog, with comments from both sides – including the author of the book; and for the book – which is not high-minded nor overly intellectual. Not only is it a solid defense of credo-baptism, it is a wonderful walk through Covenantal Theology. What follows is a summary I've taken from Part 2 of the book, which takes some examples and explains the view of the author; which I am in agreement with.
Read the other blog here: http://reformedbaptist.blogspot.com/2010/05/fatal-flaw-of-theology-behind-infant.html
Covenantal Dichotomism
From Part 2 of The Fatal Flaw of the Theology Behind Infant Baptism, by Jeffrey D. Johnson:
Without an accurate view of the Abrahamic Covenant, it is nearly impossible to understand the relationship between the various covenants of the Bible. The Abrahamic Covenant included at least four major promises:
- A seed
- A land of rest
- That Abraham would be the father of many nations
- And, ultimately, that Abraham's children would be the "People of God"
The key to understanding these promises is distinguishing their two-prong fulfillment. That is, there is a dual nature to the Abrahamic Covenant. By studying the Old and New Testaments, we learn there is a physical and spiritual fulfillment to each of these promises.
Included in the physical fulfillments were:
- A natural seed (Gen 17:7 & 10)
- Types and shadows
- A condition
Included in the spiritual fulfillments were:
- A spiritual seed (Gal 3:16 & 29)
- Spiritual realities
- An unconditional guarantee
The nation of Israel was God's outward people, analogous to the visible church – distinctly different from the "true Israel of God", His inward people.
John Bunyan's The Doctrine of Law and Grace Unfolded makes the case for one covenant with Abraham that has two parts; including law and grace. On the one hand, its condition was fulfilled by the work/righteousness of Christ. This made it a covenant of works. On the other hand, it provides grace without works to those who are in Christ by faith. In this sense, it is a covenant of grace. Like a coin, it is a singular covenant with two sides – including Gen 12 and Gen 17. For Abraham and his spiritual seed, it was an unconditional covenant of grace. For Abraham's natural seed, including Christ Jesus, it was a covenant of works.
The Mosaic covenant, unlike the Abrahamic covenant, had no dual nature: it was strictly a covenant based upon works – Exodus 19:5 – 8. It contained 1.) an outward and visible seed, 2.) various types and shadows, and 3.) condition based on works. It promised blessings and curses; it was not established with the physical seed of Abraham to make them righteous, but to show them their sins and point them to Christ.
Not only did Christ fulfill the natural and conditional aspects of the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants, He fulfilled the spiritual and unconditional aspects of Abrahamic Covenant.

Girlfriends Read
For Gloriana June Hemphill, life in Hanging Moss, Mississippi, is filled with doodlebugs, iced tea, and fireworks on her birthday, the 4th of July. But the summer of 1964 is different. Glory, as everyone knows her, is eager to turn twelve. There are times though, when she wishes she could turn back the clock a year. Maybe it is the new girl from the North----with her black socks and clunky sandals----that's got everyone out of sorts. Or maybe its the debate about whether or not to keep the town's segregated pool open. It seems the answers to Glory's questions about the pool keep changing. Now she has to summon the courage to find out what is true and who is lying.
In the meantime, Glory's older sister, Jesslyn, is growing up, and she no longer wants to spend time with Glory. Jesslyn only wants to spend time with her new boyfriend, Robbie. And Glory's best friend, Frankie, is angry with Glory. And Yankee Freedom workers are in town this summer, unsettling the residents of Hanging Moss.
The summer of 1964 is not at all like Glory expected it to be. What else can happen?

In Saffy's Angel readers meet the four Casson children. Their mother, Eve, a fine-arts painter, has named all the children after paint colors. Cadmium, called Caddy, is the eldest; then comes Saffron, known as Saffy; Indigo, the only boy; and Rose, the youngest. When Saffy discovers quite by accident that she has been adopted, she is deeply upset, though the others assure her it makes no difference at all. Saffy is the daughter of Eve's twin sister, who lived in Siena, Italy and died in a car crash. Grandad brought Saffy, as a very small child, back from Siena.

Royale Was The Case That They Gave Me
McClean. A neat freak from Scotland. McClean Royale. The classiest wine you've never before seen. See how the right words can bring out a wine's true meaning?Give up some love for Michael McClean, that mastermind behind the wine that bears his family name. Without him, we'd never ever be lucky enough to offer you a case that's never been released to the general public before.
Before today, the McClean Vineyards Royale Case was maybe only available to astronauts, kings, rock stars and some guy who knew how to sneak into Michael McClean's wine cellar. But today? Today the McClean Vineyards Royale Case is open to THE WORLD!
We couldn't be prouder to be sharing our space with these twelve bottles. Raspberry, strawberry jam, chocolate nougat and black pepper will just pour out of the bottle once you pop the cork. It's been designed for a very special occasion and Michael McClean has decided: today's the day!
This might be your only chance to be an early adopter in the world of wine. Jump on it. Jump like a Frogger player on his final frog. Chances like this don't come along every day.

Apple is more likely to bring the iPhone to Verizon once the cellular company deploys its fourth-generation network, claims Verizon's chief executive.
That's because Apple was never very interested in Verizon's current CDMA
cellular standard, which is less popular among cellphone networks outside North America, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg told The
Wall Street Journal.
Therefore, Verizon's upgrade to 4G
in 2010 should rectify the issue. Verizon will adopt a standard called Long Term Evolution (LTE), which many domestic and international carriers plan to use for their next-generation networks as well. For Apple, that should mean more potential iPhone customers and fewer troubles in terms of hardware production.
But wait. Didn't Verizon say in 2007 that it rejected Apple's iPhone, rather than the other way around? Then, Verizon complained about
Apple's control over distribution, which is a non-issue now that iPhones are being sold in Wal-mart, Best Buy and AT&T stores.
Verizon also moaned about Apple's desire to handle all the customer care — but that shouldn't be a problem anymore, either, since Apple is the big leader in the latest customer satisfaction survey.
Verizon spurned Apple. And Apple could lose face if it warms up to Verizon so easily after such an emphatic rejection. We're not satisfied that scoring the iPhone will be so easy for Verizon, but we definitely think it would be a wise, crucial move for Apple. Below is a list of reasons why we think a deal makes sense. If you agree, we encourage you to add your own reasons. If you disagree, well, we welcome those comments, too.
Verizon's Reputation for Its Superior Network
Let's start with the obvious: Everyone will agree that Verizon generally has better call and data quality than AT&T. Surveys say so, too. Many Verizon customers resist the iPhone because they don't wish to sacrifice reliable call reception and consistently zippy downloads.
We're not taking sides here, but AT&T has the opposite reputation. "Dropped calls" and "no signal" are phrases commonly heard when discussing AT&T's service quality. By expanding to Verizon, Apple will undoubtedly further its iPhone penetration in the United States.
Sharing Is Caring
AT&T will never, ever admit this, but its current 3G networks are evidently overloaded, due in large part to the iPhone's booming success. In August, Wired.com conducted a global study showing that iPhone data speeds were suffering on the U.S.
AT&T network, when compared to Europe's fine-tuned 3G networks. And several iPhone customers have been so dissatisfied with network issues that they filed lawsuits accusing Apple of making false advertisements about the iPhone 3G's performance.
Why not share the responsibility of carrying the iPhone? It'll amount to less money for AT&T, but less trouble for Apple and less anguish for customers. Better service equates to more satisfied customers and fewer lawsuits. It's your basic win-win.
Polygamy = More Control, Power
For manufacturers, working with multiple partners is strategically wiser than working with only one. Take the iPhone's components, for example. Apple doesn't rely on a sole supplier for each part of the iPhone; it buys from various suppliers so one doesn't have too much bargaining power. If one partner is asking for too much money, you threaten to ditch it because you have multiple partners. Simple, right?
So here's where a ménage à trois with AT&T and Verizon would be great.
Apple could potentially ask for a bigger slice of the pie when it comes to iPhone revenues, because it could threaten to leave either of them for the other. Ultimately, this gives Apple more control over how it handles the iPhone. And we all know how much Apple loves control.
Competition Is Good
101: Throw Verizon into the boxing ring with AT&T, and both companies will likely reduce monthly costs for the iPhone for the sake of competition. I'm tired of paying $80 a month for my minimal iPhone plan, aren't you? And, again, cheaper monthly plans will attract more customers to the iPhone. Even the naysayers might be tempted.
We're going to leave you to continue this conversation. Do you think Apple should work with Verizon to carry the iPhone? Whether it's yes, no or maybe so, add your thoughts in the comments below.

Obama rips GOP in election-year economic salvo
The Associated Press
Contact Editor
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Blasting the GOP as wilfully indifferent to American struggles, President Barack Obama issued a rebuke Friday to Republican attempts to thwart his economic agenda, offering a stark contrast that Democrats hope will yield electoral success in November.

 Obama's remarks at a picturesque lake in Minneapolis were billed by the White House as a speech on the economy. But as Obama ripped into his political foes before 3,500 cheering supporters, the political undertones were less than subtle.

 "They don't do anything, except block me and call me names," an indignant Obama said against a backdrop of sailboats and a band shell shaped like a castle. He insisted that as the nation works to restore middle-class prosperity after the recession, congressional Republicans are the only holdout.

 Playfully warning his audience that he was in the mood to "say what's on my mind," Obama accused Republicans of letting greed and gridlock perpetrate an economic system that is rigged against American families. He said he gets the sense that Republicans just don't get what Americans are going through.

 "The basic attitude is everybody is just crazy out there. If you read the fine print, it turns out the things you care about, right now, Democrats are proposing," Obama said.

 That's why Obama is moving ahead without Congress, he said. In the absence of congressional cooperation, Obama's administration has been pursuing executive actions he can take unilaterally.

 It's a strategy that's drawn indignation from Republicans, prompting House Speaker John Boehner to announce plans to sue the president for exceeding his authority. "They decide they're going to sue me for doing my job," Obama quipped.

 But Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, said that it is Obama and Democrats who are blocking House-passed bills to create jobs. "The president keeps doubling down on policies that have failed to increase prosperity," Steel said.

 Still, the president's election-year salvo put a sharp edge on a populist argument Democrats across the country are making as they work to persuade voters that they - not Republicans - are on the side of the middle class. With Obama's approval ratings sagging, Democrats are seeking to protect their fragile Senate majority and avoid losing even more seats in the GOP-controlled House.

 The president started his morning with an unannounced stop at a Minneapolis job training center, where he and Labor Secretary Tom Perez joined nine young mothers training for customer service jobs. "All of us start at different places. I was basically raised by a single mom," Obama said, adding that like these young women, his own mother benefited from grants and programs that enabled her to support her family.

 Obama's remarks at Lake Harriet capped a two-day trip to Minnesota aimed at putting the president up close and personal with "real America," where Obama frequently laments that the concerns of everyday citizens are detached from partisan bickering in Washington.

 A day earlier, Obama launched what the White House dubbed a "Day in the Life" tour by lunching with a working mom whose letter about her financial struggles grabbed Obama's attention when it landed on his desk. He also ditched his motorcade in the evening in nearby St. Paul, strolling through boutique shops and food joints and chatting up pedestrians in an attempt to reconnect with the voters who twice have sent him to Washington.

 Jacki Parker, a retired teacher and school counselor who came to hear Obama speak on Friday, offered a groan when asked to give her take on Washington.

 "There's enough to accomplish that people don't need to be at each other's throats all the time," she said.
