From personal experience, several priests, college professors and youth leaders that I have encountered who had a larger-than-life presence and attracted a large portion of their school/university/parish turned out to have a narcissistic personality and a deformed conscience.
Not a few of them were later found guilty of sexual misconduct, either with adolescents or young adults. Nearly all of these incidents were male-male, though some were male-female.

A parish in my hometown had a pastor who was bit of hip rock star and could pack the church, with mostly young people, for Mass. The one time I attended he spoke out about the need for women priests.
Oh, he is now a former priest as he was busted for sexual abuse of a teenage male.

Priests should be struck mute in their homilies after 10 minutes, or if they preach on anything outside of the Gospel. I don't care how valuable the seven sorrows of the blessed virgin are (and dude, they totally are!), but if they aren't based on the readings/prayers/feast of the day, pipe down.
And yeah, the whole priests making six figure salaries, that has to go as well.

HP Greetings on Human Rights Day
Today, on the International Day of Human Rights, we are reminded of the grim situation that the 99% population faces, the world over - the situation of lack of human rights.
For us, the Human Rights are not a matter of law, but a matter of fact of being born.
For the simple fact that a human is born, she/he has the rights of dignity of life. No law, and none else can deny these rights to anyone under any circumstances whatsoever.
It is clear that our world has lost its direction and human greed has taken over the affairs of life by force and it seems they have built enough of new tools to enslave masses and are all the time trying to perpetuate this slavery.
Humanist Party, was formed by the Change Makers, the world over, formed on 10 December 1984 in India, for the specific purpose of building a moral, non-violent, non-discriminatory platform for the Change Makers of tomorrow. Knowing that the changes can happen suddenly, without a great-detailed planning and method, forced by the increasing violence of the 1%, this platform was built, so that the Change Makers will not have to suffer the loss of time in building a coherent Ideology and a valid Way of Working for themselves.
Once again, we greet everyone on this day and invite you to be part of this humble effort of building the new leadership from grass-roots.
Humanist Party - Its different !
Political Parties are launched by people of different backgrounds with a variety of purposes. They have different ideologies, while some have nothing to do with ideologies. They claim various motives and plans and history of the founders and make various declarations.
Apart from the aim of reaching power and ruling over people, they also have an issue of the "ego" of the founders in common. These founding members propose themselves as the ultimate leaders, the ultimate saviours of the people and promise the moon to people. Obviously, they promise all this on the condition of their reaching the power.
In short, they launch the parties to somehow (anyhow) reach the power.
Once they reach power, we all know, what they do. This is the basic root aspect of all these political parties across the world, irrespective of the culture, country, region, religion, gender, language etc. background of the founders.
The Humanist Party (HP) is different right from its roots.
HP was formed by a group of selfless volunteers. HP was formed to implement the strategy of the Humanist Doctrine that is based on Non-violence as its methodology) and No-discrimination as its main point. HP was formed as a platform for all selfless people to come together and lead the world to its next stage of existence.
While the volunteer members who have built the HP platform since its inception in 1984, have come and gone, have participated in different roles, no one has been presented as the ultimate "boss" or "leader" of the people so far, while all the energy has been spent in selflessly and voluntarily building the Humanist platform for the politically oriented selfless people.
HP aims an works to build the new collective-leadership that the world needs and this leadership will come from the young people who will recognize the potential of this platform as matching with their own aspirations of a Humanist world (a world that does not discriminate and provides a dignified life to all human beings, working through non-violence).
HP invites the young people of India to explore this platform as the platform of the fulfilment of their aspirations and come forward to become the leaders of tomorrow.

We've. Recently bought a 12 week old minature schnauzer pup. The problem is he's so quiet and lifeless. Is he ok?
He shakes a lot and seems scared. Just sits there and doesn't get up to walk. He was bought from a litter of pups with the appropriate papers and I don't believe he was ever abused. Will he spring into life? Is this just a temporary thing? Please help Thankyou

You don't say how long this has been going on. It is not normal puppy behaviour. They should be curious & exploring their world. A vet visit is in order. Has she had her shots? When? De-wormed?
How do you approach? Swooping in with excited "hey pup!" or a slow calm, puppy level greeting?
How's his appetite? Eating? Drinking? Eliminating?
More info is needed to even hazard a guess at what's happening.

Everything Wiley said, plus, FYI, papers are no guarantee of quality nor of a reputable breeder. They can be compared to registering a car. Just because it's registered doesn't mean it runs!
How did he act within the litter prior to you bringing him home? How about the rest of the litter, were they normally active and playful and alert?
While some nervousness is normal, remember he just left the only life he's ever known and everything is strange to him, complete shutdown and failure to respond to anything CAN BE normal within the first few hours in a new home, but after that time, he should begin to relax and be a normal, active, alert, and playful baby, at least within 24 hours.
Does he have a current (within the last week to 10 days) health certificate? And, how long ago did he receive his last vaccine? If he is still acting this way tomorrow I would certainly get him into your vet for a check up!!

- CSIC scientists use the Finis Terrae to study the influence of the polar vortex winds system in the formation of the Antarctic ozone hole.
- This is a phenomenon of particle dispersion in the atmosphere similar to that produced by the ashes of volcanic eruptions, such as Eyjafjalla Icelandic volcano that paralyzed European air space two years ago.
Research by scientists at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT CSIC) studied the relationship between the Antarctic winds and the hole in the ozone layer. The study of such a complex phenomenon has needed the development of new computational tools. The Finisterrae supercomputer at CESGA is responsible for the calculations.
The polar vortex is a cyclonic circulation system centered at the South Pole, bounded by a jet stream on its border that acts as a barrier to particle transport, inhibiting air exchange between the inside and outside. Currently, it is estimated that this isolation affects the conditions of the formation of the Antarctic ozone hole, and so the importance of this phenomenon and others like it makes it the object of analysis for the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) National Research Council (CSIC), with the support of the Supercomputing Center of Galicia (CESGA) for their studies.
Dispersion of particles
"The dispersion, transport, mixing of particles in fluids is a phenomenon with important applications. Its optimization or inhibition interested in fields as diverse as microfluidics, marine science or weather," said Dr. Ana Maria Mancho Sanchez, ICMAT, who puts a very concrete example of the importance of investigating these phenomena, "the ashes dumped into the atmosphere by the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjalla scattered by the atmosphere, and in doing so paralyzed the European airspace for several days in 2010. Finding patterns of order in apparent disorder of the dispersion of these particles was and remains a challenge, for greater accuracy in predictions have saved many millions of euros for the airline companies.
"The work is carried out using the supercomputer capacity of Finis Terrae at CESGA, by Dr. Ana Maria Mancho and colleagues, Álvaro de la Cámara, Jezabel Curbelo and Carolina Mendoza have addressed these problems in various oceanic and atmospheric contexts, for which they have developed new tools. In particular, the studies from Álvaro de la Cámara and researchers from other centers have focused "in the Southern Hemisphere stratosphere." In it, Dr. Mancho recalls, "is the polar vortex."
The study of the dynamics of the polar vortex "intensified after the discovery of the 'ozone hole' in the Antarctic stratosphere, it is thought that the insulation inside the air affects the conditions of its formation," says the scientist.
The work at CESGA "has focused on the application of new mathematical tools for the reanalysis of the Antarctic vortex data have provided a clear framework that reveals dynamic transport routes through the vortex, and have been contrasted with data balloons from the VORCORE y CONCORDIASI experimental campaigns," he concludes.

I'll spare you the saga of my even getting into the range. Suffice to say my it started with my "20 minuet wait" that turned into 1:45. Not a happy camper.
Range was indoor, not dim, but not bright either, and a balmy 38* - I'll give them this, it was well ventilated.
Shooting off a bench and stool, mid range Bipod that is normally on my PSL mounted at the far end of my rail.
I started off with 1 round in the mag and target at 25y. BANG, and the bolt locked open and an itty bitty hole in the target 1" high, 1" right (I'm used to a 7.62 & .40 holes). :danceban:
Next we did 3 rounds. Bolt locked open again, 3 more holes within an inch of the first. Cool, that qualifies as a group. I reel the target in and make and adjustment to the windage. Push it back out to 25 and fire off 5 more. Now I remember why I hate Irons. The group is now 3" high, and 2" right. Fine, still just trying to get the windage first. I make another adjustment, and fire off 5 more. Crap. 3" high and about 3" right. I've been moving my windage the wrong direction (bonehead). I take out everything I put on it, and then add the first 3 clicks I was supposed to. Still 3" high and only slightly right. At least my elevation is staying somewhat consistant. I add another click to the windage and put 4 on the front...the right direction...I double checked. 5 more and still slightly to the right, but in the hole. Cool.
I run it out to 50 and get this.
Not terrible, still getting used to the rifle (that will take another 500 rounds at least) and I still hate irons.
New target, then out to 100.
Ignore the nice tight group in the red, I'll explain that one later.
Not great. New target and try again, concentrating on proper shooting.
Good enough Right about where it's supposed to be, I hate irons (did I mention that?), I'm cold and running out of time, let's grab the scope and get it dialed in.
Starting at 25y I get 3 good hits, make my adjustment, then bang, right where I want it, until I realize after I left that I should have dialed it to hit about 1.3" low at 25y. Oops.
Tighten everything down, grab the first 100y BUIS target (shown above) and get the nice group I wish I could get with irons.
Shoot another target out to 100, and get about a 2" MOA. Pressed for time, I just kept shooting the same target, so I did not save it.
Overall I am happy. The gun went bang with 55gr factory reloads, everything worked like it was supposed to. I need a lot more trigger time to get used to it. I hope to get down to at least 1 MOA with the scope when I can get prone and outside.

Christian Bale's "Dark Knight" Audition: Watch Here!
He's arguably the best Batman of all time, and Christian Bale had superhero mojo even before he was cast in the "Dark Knight" franchise.
The "American Psycho" actor's first audition is included in the special features section of the forthcoming "The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector's Edition" Blu-Ray box set, and he's quite convincing.
As a favor to director Christopher Nolan, Amy Adams stood in as the female lead as Christian did his best Caped Crusader impression while wearing Val Kilmer's Batman suit.
Nolan also notes that Bale's decision to use two different voices for Bruce Wayne and Batman was a definite factor in selecting him for the gig.

Project 618 - Palaeoclimate information obtained from past-recharged groundwater
Human civilizations have for millennia depended on the stability of groundwater resources to survive dry or unreliable climates. While groundwater supplies are buffered against short-term effects of climate variability, they can be impacted over longer time frames through changes in rainfall, temperature, snowfall, melting of glaciers/permafrost, vegetation and land-use changes. Groundwater provides a low-resolution archive of past climate variation by recording changes in recharge amount or the chemical and isotopic evolutionary history of a groundwater system. The recharge history of a given groundwater resource is then vital to forecast its vulnerability under future and potentially adverse climatic changes.
This global project based on existing information and fostering new investigations aims to:
A) Compare and potentially correlate major climatic events derived from groundwater with those obtained from higher resolution continental proxy records. This will be done at a continental scale (individual basins) and global scale (between different basins).
B) Apply this approach to large aquifers or regions where pre-existing research can be accessed and/or small number of additional analysis could add substantial value. The project will initially target emblematic aquifers "flag basins" in most continents but expects to increase the number of basins targeted as new collaborations and research projects are developed.
- Africa: North West Sahara Aquifer System (NWSAS).
- America: (North America) we will target the High Plains Aquifer (HPA). (South America) we will target the Guaraní Aquifer System (GAS)
- Asia: The North China Plains Aquifer (NCPA)
- Europe: The Baltic Artesian Basin (BAB)
- Oceania: Great Artesian Basin (GAB) and the coastal Sydney Basin aquifers (SBa)
These basins contain vast groundwater resources and it is estimated that tens (if not 100s) of millions of people rely on them either directly or indirectly. Uncontrolled groundwater extraction in some of those aquifers has caused irreversible depletion. Understanding the recharge history of these aquifers will provide solid scientific data that are essential for modelers to predict future impacts, and hence for water managers who rely on such predictions.
C) To assess potential future climatic effects in the studied basins based on the understanding of their recharge history. Several conceptualizations of basin response from the palaeo groundwater record will be modeled and compared. Provided data, the model's response will be calibrated against data. Calculated response of modeled basins will also be used to identify data needs.
D) To improve groundwater chronological frameworks past the 14C dating range (>30 ka in groundwater) and contribute to the use of novel "age or palaeo climatic tracers" (i.e. 81Kr, noble gasses, 35S etc.).
E) To establish a network of palaeo groundwater scientist that accelerates the transferring of knowledge to developing countries and junior scientists, development of research directions and systematic comparison of palaeo groundwater systems. For this purpose a seminar/workshop is to be held annually.

In this globally connected world if we want to be connected with the people we need many devices which makes our work easy and helps people to connect globally. Every business people use these devices to deal business issues with the client who are anywhere in the world. These devices are very important in our day to day life and we can't avoid it. Instead of the cost of maintenance of this device is high still we can't ignore them because, wantedly or unwantedly we are addicted to them. This device makes the people lazy, our ancestors have to do everything manually for every work they have to make so much effort. But now we can do big works within a second by just clicking a button.
Consider if we want to send messages to the people who are living far away from the place you are residing. Then, they have to send someone there to send that message and we can't confirm whether the message was received to the sender until that person comes to you and confirms you. For each and every work we depended on electronic goods starting from our wake to sleep.
Here are some of the ways to save money on electronic devices
Make use of energy conservative devices
Before purchasing any electronic devices we have to first check the label behind it. That provides you the information about the product and how much energy its use. Don't make choice for your purchase on cost and always seeks to use device which uses less energy. Which makes your bill low.
Follow some precautions which saves money
· Switch off the devices which are not in use.
· Plug out the devices when you are not using that.
· Use alternate devices which use less energy.
Devices which consumes more energy are
· Washing machines
· Air conditioner
· Laptops or PC
· Water heaters
New devices are also introduced which use less electricity if you want some assistance about these facts, you can contact your local electrician Sutherland to get some info about that device. They will provide you the info very well because they always get updated with these types of devices. Many different energy conservation devices also introduced which use alternate ways to run the device like thermal, solar, thermostats and many more.
Most of the people don't bother about energy conservation they feel it as easy. Because they don't know the pros and cons of doing that. We are not only saving energy but we are saving our lives and money, we can earn money anytime, but the damage which causes in our lives will not be repleted. Always take some suggestions from your local electrician before buying any electronic for your home or for any commercial purpose. Commercial people trained their own electrician because they can't take risks, they are very costly to purchase and once they get damaged its take too much of time and money to repair it.

50k Runners
This is a UTMB Qualifier for 3 points on the new scale.
All 50k runners should be aware this is a mountain ultra and that there will be inherent risks involved in running this trail race. There will be portions of the course that will be off trail, up/down screen fields and have cliffs on either side. All runners should prepare to be able to carry enough water to hold them 6-7 miles at at which could be 2-3 hours if walking/hiking. Also be aware that if you drop in this race you will need to do so at an aid station. You will also understand that you will not be taken in from the course as we will have to come out and get you. If you are hurt on the course and cannot continue we will use the Park Search and Rescue to insure your safety in that case.
READ THE AMAZING COURSE PREVIEW by GREG LUFFEY BELOW!!
King/Queen of the Mountain
The recommended routes for each distance will be about 3.5-8.0 miles which will start at the mundys gap trail head and head to the peak of the north franklin and then back down to the start . We will use off trail/scree fields for some of the route and there are inherited risks involved in that. We may also have multiple routes as this is meant to have you see how you can get to the top the fastest and back down.
To finish you must go to the TOP get a summit band and return down. This is the only way to finish.

I think we all want to see some accountability coming from the summit, and I'm hopeful, since we've seen that disinformation like "death panels" can be openly confronted.
Also, we'd like to see where lobbyist and related money goes and what happens with it. That's the whole transparency thing the current White House and the Sunlight Foundation are about. (Disclaimer: I'm on their board.)
The deal is that you can watch the summit video, along with real time live blogging by people who really know their stuff, specifically regarding health care reform and also how influence is bought in politics.
We're calling it Sunlight Live and it's going to bring together live blogging by our policy experts, Twitter conversations from across the country and relevant facts on congressional members in attendance at the Summit. Some of the things you can expect to see displayed on Sunlight Live as the politicians debate are campaign contributions that the person speaking has received, their connections to lobbyists and industry, personal finances, and key votes that the leaders have made on health care in the past.
We'll also be coming up with new ideas throughout the day. We won't know everything we'll want to do until we hear what our leaders have to say.
The idea behind this is that we want to provide a greater understanding of why the elected officials have staked out their positions on health care, and let the data do more of the the talking.
We're going to be going from the Summit's beginning at 10:00 a.m. to whenever it ends (perhaps as late as 6:00 p.m.)

Citation: Williams, L.E., Ayars, J.E. 2005. Water use of thompson seedless grapevines as affected by the application of gibberellic acid (ga3) and trunk girdling - practices to increase berry size.. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. Interpretive Summary: Interpretative Summary: Girdling and gibberellic acid (GA3) sprays are routinely used to manage berry size in the production of Thompson Seedless grapes. How these practices affect water use and irrigation scheduling for grapevines is not well understood. A project was completed to develop answers for these questions. The results indicate that water use of vineyards used for table grape production, where only girdling is employed, can be reduced for the period of time the girdle remains open. This will also affect the Kc. However, seasonal water use for these vineyards may only be minimally affected compared to those in which this practice is not used. The lack of an actual decrease in either water use or constant Kc when the vines were girdled in combination with an application of GA3 indicates that GA3 may possibly mitigate the depressing effect of girdling on gas exchange and subsequently whole vine water use. Additional studies are required to determine if this is the case. In this study the Kc did not decrease after harvest or later as long as the vines were continually irrigated and that the foliage remained functional due to the season long control of insect pests. This was independent of whether the grapevines were farmed for use as table grapes or for the production of natural Thompson Seedless grapes used for raisins or crushed for juice or concentrate. Therefore, the decrease in the crop coefficient after the mid-season plateau for grapevines given in several publications may not be appropriate where irrigation continues through harvest and later in the season and the canopy remains fully functional, such as is the case for commercial table grape vineyards in the Coachella and San Joaquin Valleys of California.
Technical Abstract: Seasonal water use of Vitis vinifera L (cv. Thompson Seedless, clone 2A) was determined with a large weighing lysimeter in the San Joaquin Valley of California from 1994 to 1996. The first year of the study, the vines growing within the lysimeter were treated as would be done to produce fruit for use as table grape; the application of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and trunk girdling at berry set (approximately two weeks after anthesis). Both practices will increase berry size of this seedless cultivar. In 1995, the vines in the lysimeter were only girdled at berry set, no application of GA3 at that time. Reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) between March 15th and the end of October averaged 1124 mm across the three years. Water use shortly after the vines were girdled in 1994 increased as would be expected for non-girdled grapevines while in 1995 water use after girdling decreased for a period of approximately four weeks. Once the girdles healed (callused over) in 1995 water use increased to values similar to those of the previous year. The crop coefficient (Kc) subsequent to girdling in 1994 remained constant for a period of four weeks while the Kc decreased after girdling in 1995. The Kc increased after the girdles healed both years ad remained at a value of approximately 0.9 until the end of October. In 1996, the vines in the lysimeter received none of the treatments used in the previous two years. The seasonal water use and maximum daily water use in 1996 of the vines in the lysimeter were greater than in 1994 and 1995. Water use of the vines was equivalent to 838, 708, and 936 mm from March 15 until the end of October while that of ETo was 1136, 1060, and 1176 during the same period in 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. At full canopy in 1996 the Kc leveled off at a value of 1.1 and remained such until the end of October. The results indicate that girdling the trunks of grapevines can affect water use when compared to non-girdled grapevines. Additionally the Kc of this perennial horticultural crop does not decrease after harvest or later in the season if the vines are fully irrigated and insect pests are controlled.

Yes, use DumpSave@"file" to save everything. Then later you can use DumpGet@"file" to restore things.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Shawn Blackwell has been in professional baseball for nearly 11 months now, but he has spent most of that time at Fall Instructional League, Spring Training, and Extended Spring Training.
On Sunday, Blackwell made just his third 'official' pro start, getting the victory and yielding three runs on six hits in five innings, walking one and striking out two.
"I thought I had a good outing," said Blackwell after the game. "I didn't have the best stuff, but I had good stuff. My defense definitely helped me out––I had a good D behind me today. And the run support helps."
Blackwell generally threw his fastball between 88-90 mph, touching 91 in the early going and sitting around 88-89 in the later innings.
One of the primary reasons the Rangers liked Blackwell enough to give him a $300,000 bonus as a 24th-round pick was his projectable 6-foot-5, 195-pound frame.
The height allows Blackwell to get a good angle on his fastball––making it more difficult to hit––and he could add velocity once he matures. The 19-year-old could eventually sit in the low-90s, perhaps touching a bit higher at times.
Blackwell consistently throws strikes and gets ahead in the count, but he has had an issue with leaving the ball up in the zone––a common problem for young, tall pitchers.
The right-hander elevated a few too many fastballs on Sunday, and that led to six hits in five innings.
"In Spring Training, I was leaving the ball up a little bit," he said. "We've really been working on getting the ball at the knees. I've been doing a decent job in games. I'm just trying to carry over what we're working on into the games.
"Being tall, you've really got to stay back and get out in front to try and get that ball low."
At this point, Blackwell's velocity is just fine, if not up a tick from his days at Clear Creek High School in the Houston area.
Though he's throwing hard right now, Blackwell hasn't been immune to the occasional loss of velocity, another common issue for young arms in their first year of professional ball.
"I ran into a little bit of dead arm in extended," said the native Texan. "It's just getting used to that. I threw a lot in high school, but this is a different type of throwing out here. It's just getting used to that in your first season. I'm taking care of my arm and conditioning the best I can."
A temporary loss in velocity isn't always bad, particularly for pitchers that are accustomed to overpowering high school hitters. Blackwell says his dead arm period forced him to focus on location.
"Your first instinct is to overthrow, but you've got to fight that and not try to overthrow," he said. "You just have to try and execute pitches even more than you would if you had a good fastball. You have to keep the fastball down and execute pitches a little bit better."
Blackwell's primary offspeed pitch has always been his big-breaking curveball, which showed promise at Fall Instructional League last year.
The breaking pitch appears to be progressing, as he's throwing it a bit harder with sharper break this season. In Sunday's game, Blackwell threw most of his curveballs in the mid-70s, but he was also able to bury it in the dirt at 77 mph to get both his strikeouts.
There is still room for Blackwell to improve his curve––it was sometimes a bit inconsistent and he could sharpen the break. But the pitch is coming along, and it looks to have plus potential.
"Throwing the curve more, it feels better," Blackwell said. "At the very end of extended and the beginning here in the AZL, my curveball was kind of nonexistant. This last week and a half, it has come back for me. I found it, which is good. That was a good sign today."
The prospect says he has been learning how become a better pitcher with his curveball, but he's also careful not to overthrow it.
"I've been working on the curve through Spring Training and extended," he said. "I wanted to throw that first-pitch strike curveball and then throw that 0-2 curveball different. I need to get ahead with the 0-0 curve, because most guys aren't going to swing at it.
"Those two strikeouts––I threw them a slower curveball before that for a strike. And then with two strikes, I try to throw it a little bit harder, but I don't want to overthrow it too much because then it'll be a 50-foot curveball. So I try not to make it too much different."
As is the case with most talented high school pitchers, Blackwell didn't use much of a changeup before he signed with the Rangers.
He flashed more than just a rudimentary feel for his change during Fall Instructional League, and though the pitch wasn't at its best on Sunday, he is still happy with the overall progress.
"I think the changeup has come along really well," said Blackwell, who says he threw five or six changeups on Sunday. "It was so-so today. I've had better days with it, but it's definitely something I've had to work on."
The changeup is a unique pitch in that it's different for everyone. For instance, a grip that works with Trevor Hoffman may not work with Eric Gagne, or vice versa. In his search for a comfortable grip, Blackwell says he has talked to a number of pitchers.
"My changeup was a weak spot in high school, and I talk to anyone I can about changeups," he said. "If they've got a good changeup, I talk to them.
"I spoke with Richard Alvarez in Spring Training. My buddy with the Phillies from high school has helped me out. And also Justin Thompson, the pitching coach in Spokane. It's kind of a mix of just talking to guys and messing with grips."
Because of his tall frame, projectability, and potential three-pitch mix, the Rangers are developing Blackwell as a starting pitcher. His pitch count has been gradually built up this season, and he expects to be on a 75-pitch limit for the remainder of the year.
From here on out, Blackwell just wants to continue to throw strikes while developing his overall game.
"I want to go out there and pound the strike zone with what I have," he said. "I want to make hitters hit and keep my pitch count down. I want to let my defense work, because we have a real good defense down here. I just want to go out there and give the team a chance to win every game."

Season Preview: Ballard High Track and Field
By Christopher Duclos
Optimism abounds as head coach Robert Mirenzi enters his third season overseeing Ballard High's track and field team. Along with coach Mirenzi, the track team is bringing back their strong coaching staff in hopes of building upon last year's success.
A new addition to the coaching staff is Joey Thomas, better known as Ballard High's football coach. Thomas's addition to the track team will help turn out some of Ballard High's football players. Helping them stay quick, agile and explosive during the football off-season.
"Our hope is to bring the football athletes on board," Coach Mirenzi offered on the addition of Coach Thomas. "The past seasons have had a dwindling football turnout; hopefully this will be the shot the boys' team needs to get back to replicate previous successes (2nd at State 2004)."
Last season, Ballard High sent 19 student athletes to the Kingco tournament. Five of those students placing 1st in their competitions, 10 advanced to the district tournament and six to state. The Ballard women's team showed up well for the Beavers, placing 8th overall at the state tournament. Out of all the top group of athletes, Ballard has only lost four seniors to graduation.
Over the last two seasons, Ballard High saw nine school records fall. This included the girls 4x400m team, who placed 4th overall at the Washington state tournament.
Who to watch and their events:
Carolyn Birkenfeld, Junior. 100m/200m/ 4x100 4x200 400 4x400, participated in the girls 4x400that took 4th in state last season
Mia Wrey, Senior. 1600m/800m/400m/4x400. Achieved 1st in Kingco for 800m last season, 3rd in state for girls 1600. Participated in the girls 4x400 team that took 4th in state last season

Library research models : guide to using classifications, catalogs and… (original 1993; edition 1995)
by Thomas Mann
Work details
Library Research Models: A Guide to Classification, Cataloging, and Computers by Thomas Mann (1993)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Library Research Models is a book about how to search for information in a library effectively. The author provides several different methods for organizing material and search methodologies. Originally written in the early 1990s, the computer sections as well as the emphasis on printed bibliographies make the book a bit outdated, but the philosophies contained within it are still thought-provoking and relevant.
Essential text for information professionals. Key reference for discussion of controlled vocabulary vs. natural language metadata.
Accessibly written, though unfortunatly out of date.
I don't own this book, yet. I'm borrowing it from the library first to see if it's useful. It's part of my effort to learn more about library science, a subject that I've always been interested in. As a recent MA, I thought I knew my way around a library. Ha! This book is quickly proving that I was barely scratching the surface, and I'm only 25 pages into it! Why didn't I read this book sooner? My research as a graduate student would have been so much better!
Mann is actually an entertaining writer, and he manages to make this rather dry subject matter at least somewhat interesting.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 019509395X, Paperback)Most researchers, even with computers, find only a fraction of the sources available to them. As Library of Congress reference librarian Thomas Mann explains, researchers tend to work within one or another mental framework that limits their basic perception of the universe of knowledge available to them. Some, for example, use a subject-disciplinary method which leads them to a specific list of sources on a particular subject. But, Mann points out, while this method allows students and researchers to find more specialized sources, it is also limiting--they may not realize that works of interest to their own subject appear within the literature of many other disciplines. A researcher looking through anthropology journals, for example, might not discover that the MLA International Bibliography provides the best coverage of folklore journals.
In Library Research Models, Mann examines the several alternative mental models people use to approach the task of research, and demonstrates new, more effective ways of finding information. Drawing on actual examples gleaned from 15 years' experience in helping thousands of researchers, he not only shows the full range of search options possible, but also illuminates the inevitable tradeoffs and losses of access that occur when researchers limit themselves to a specific method. In two chapters devoted to computers he examines the use of electronic resources and reveals their value in providing access to a wide range of sources as well as their disadvantages: what people are not getting when they rely solely on computer searches; why many sources will probably never be in databases; and what the options are for searching beyond computers.
Thomas Mann's A Guide to Library Research Methods was widely praised as a definitive manual of library research. Ronald Gross, author of The Independent Scholar's Handbook called it "the savviest such guide I have ever seen--bracingly irreverent and brimming with wisdom." The perfect companion volume, Library Research Models goes even further to provide a fascinating look at the ways in which we can most efficiently gain access to our vast storehouses of knowledge.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Pete Carroll, the former Patriots and Jets head coach, appears headed back to the NFL, to take the Seattle Seahawks head coaching vacancy. Seattle just fired Jim Mora, Jr. after a single season at the helm, a disappointing 5-11 campaign. The Seahawks were immediately zoomed in on Carroll, currently the head man at the University of Southern California where he resurrected the Trojan program into one of the nation's finest. He was 97-19 in nine seasons at SC with seven consecutive Pac-10 Championships, four Rose Bowl wins, and two national titles.
Carroll was the Jets head coach in 1994, leading them to a 6-10 season and was fired after the season. He got the Patriots coaching job in 1997 and led the Patriots to a 10-6 season, first in the AFC East, and a playoff win over Miami before falling to Pittsburgh in the Divisional round. In 1998, the Patriots were 9-7 with a Wild Card round to Jacksonville. The follow season, the Patriots were 8-8, but missed the playoffs and he was let go once again. He was 27-21 with New England and 1-2 in the playoffs and has a 33-31 overall regular season record in the NFL.
He took the USC job in 2001 and led the Trojans to a 6-6 first season, including a loss in the Las Vegas Bowl. The following season began the seven year run of dominance in the Pac-10, never losing more than two games in any season. This past season, USC finished 9-4, including a win over Boston College in the Emerald Bowl, their first non-BCS Bowl since the Las Vegas Bowl. The team has slipped with the loss of many players on both sides of the bowl in the past couple of years. On offense, he lost Heisman winners Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, and Reggie Bush. He also lost Matt Cassel, who never played behind Palmer and Leinart, Mark Sanchez, and LenDale White among others. He also has seen defensive gems Troy Polumalu and Rey Maualuga leave the program.
However, the impetus of his departure may be two-fold. Firstly, he is rumored to be signing for $7 million per season, a hefty raise of $2 million for one of the NCAA's highest paid coaches. Secondly, and more importantly, USC may be looking at sanctions for a number of violations impacting the football and basketball programs. Bush and O. J. Mayo appear to have had agent related problems before leaving the program. USC also was shorthanded in the win over BC, down three suspended players, including star running back Joe McKnight, for possible violations as well. McKnight may have taken improper gifts after being seen in an Escalade that was not his and subsequently denying it. This also has one other small impact on BC. The two teams are scheduled for a home-and-home series in 2013-2014 in football. BC was signing up for a marquee set of games with USC, which may not turn out to be that with Carroll, and presumably some recruits, gone and possibly still dealing with NCAA penalties.

The 3rd Friday of March is a singularly important day to a singularly important part of the future health and wellbeing of these United States.
It is none other than National Residency Match Day and for the graduates of medical schools every year it determines where they will train in their respective specialties' on the road to becoming practicing physicians anywhere from 3 to 12 years thereafter.
I have been fortunate to be immersed in the ritual fire dance that finding a desirable residency match entails twice in my life. Most currently with my son Spencer who graduates in May 2014 from University of Michigan Medical School.
Securing a spot in a choice residency program is no easy thing. Spencer chose a career in Urology which is a particularly tough to get specialty and much hard work is involved on the student's part he or she is to succeed. In Spence's case, he spent a month working in a Urology program in California at Keck School of Medicine at USC, at University of Michigan Hospital Department of Urology and at Beaumont Hospital Department of Urology. During each of those rotations every day was a two-way audition with each seeking to demonstrate worthiness of the others' desire. Naturally the prospective resident needs to work the harder of the two in order to demonstrate their worth; especially when seeking a career in a specialty like Urology where only about 60% of applicants find a matching program.
In a perfect situation every residency program would have hundreds of medical students to choose among and every program would want every student but that is far from the case. Obtaining a spot in a storied and top quality residency program is highly competitive and there is a paucity of available openings.
Following this period of rotating through numerous programs by the students, both the medical students and the residency programs rank each other in order of desirability.
Finally… through the facilitation of a third party corporation the lists of both the medical students and the residency programs are spun through a wash and dry cycle and for many or most medical students and residency programs a match occurs.
On Friday March 21, 2014 I sat in a room at University of Michigan Medical School as the drama of the residency match came to its conclusion. At precisely 12:00 noon envelopes were distributed to each medical student containing a letter advising them where they would be spending the next phase of their training.
For many there were tears of joy. At U of M Medical School most students get their first or second choice. For a few there were tears of sadness that they did not and for one or two there was no match at all so other paths to the future have to be explored.
In case you're wondering. Spencer Charles Hiller, University of Michigan medical class of 2014 will be a Urology Resident at Beaumont Hospital.
On April 30, 2012 my beloved Scottish Deerhound Lilly died. She had languished for six months with pancreatitis and kidney failure. Dutifully I gave her bags of subcutaneous fluids every day and fed her from my fingers in an unsuccessful effort extend her life.
In the end she was euthanized in my arms and I watched as her soul left her body and she fell limp like an empty shell at the seashore. I felt empty without her. No creature under the stars of heaven had ever been so perfect as my beloved Lilly. I was heartbroken and felt that I had a hole in me that could never be filled.
Eleven months later I received a call from a couple in Vermont who breed and raise Scottish Deerhounds. Lee and Lois Resseguie had learned of my loss and as serendipity would have it they called to say they had a puppy that needed a home. I was unsure. Could my emptiness be repaired by a replacement or would a new deerhound merely be a soulless copy of my beloved Lilly.
As I write this today, Daisy my brand new deerhound is gnawing at my elbow because I've ignored her entreaties for almost 5 minutes. She growls and bounces when she wants my attention and she nuzzles and coos when she has it. Best of all my house is once again alive with the sound of galloping Deerhound feet and my life has once again been filled with an odd looking creature who needs me as much as I need her. I often describe her as a greyhound with my hair.
Lilly has not returned to me and she will have a permanent inscription in my heart, but even an old fox like me can still learn new lessons of life and one that I've added to my personal storehouse is that a puppy can heal a broken heart.Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never is, but always to be blessed: The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
– Alexander Pope
Recently I had the privilege of speaking at the funeral of a dear friend. Her name was Lee Better and I had been her friend, lawyer and confidant since 1987.
Lee came to Hiller's in her 75th year in need of a job and still raw from the shuttering of her resale shop New to You. She needed work and with the resoluteness that typified her she was willing to do damn near anything. I put her in charge of Hiller's demo program and she took to it like a duck to water. Soon, customers flocked to see her and listen to her as she held court. One of her biggest fans was Sonny Eliot the widely acclaimed local newscaster and weatherman, who spent hours exchanging stories and jokes with her. Lee had a smile a mile wide and the precocious humor of Dame Edna. Once a customer asked her if a Sara Lee product was kosher and without a blink Lee responded with a wink and said; " Sara's a Jewish name so it must be." She knew it wasn't; so did the customer but both had a good laugh.
Life was not easy for Lee. She married Sam when she was in her late thirties and while they were fortunate to have two daughters, Gayle and Liz, Sam died unexpectedly and young. Lee had worked part-time during the marriage but suddenly she became the sole support of the family. Without a complaint, Lee rose to the task. She opened a resale shop called New To You and with the help of her many girlfriends, beautiful well-labeled ladies clothes filled the shelves and her store became a gathering place for sharp women who knew a bargain. And so it went for 10 years or more while Lee watched over her girls and her elderly mother with a perpetual smile on her face and never a single complaint at the hand life had dealt her.
Finally the store ran out of steam and Lee came to me needing a job. I was honored to oblige. After all… I'd been her lawyer during the good times so how could I walk away during the lean? Without a complaint Lee started work as Hiller's Food Demonstration Specialist. At a time of life when most of us are contemplating our navels on a couch, she was on time and bright eyed every day and she charmed the pants off everyone, me included. Because no matter how tough things were or how much pain she felt Lee's mien never varied.
Sadly one late afternoon 7 years ago for reasons unknown, while driving home after work, Lee drifted across the road and into a head-on collision with another vehicle. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance and given a grave prognosis. ""She won't survive the night" said the trauma surgeon. Eight months later she left the hospital, bent, broken and bruised but with her spirit intact and until June 13th 2013 Lee endured. We all knew she was on borrowed time. She didn't give a damn… she laughed and continued to charm the pants off everyone she met.
Those of us who knew Lee were fortunate to have a woman of such strength and uncommon virtue in our life.
At her funeral I said, " if ever there was a soul who deserved to be swept to heaven on the wings of angels it was Lee". Every head in the audience nodded in agreement.
I will eternally miss Lee's smile, wit and charm.
