Thank you for acts of kindness
Three weeks ago our son, Will Bernardi, watched fire consume his home. Over a few short minutes, Will felt the adrenaline rush that saved him and his dog; he felt hopefulness, then despair and frustration. He was losing everything he owned and there was nothing he could do about it. His brothers and I watched with him and we felt the cold shock of how close we came to losing Will and Ziggy.
Before the fire was out, neighbors, friends and people walking by began a flow of giving: clothes, food, loaned vehicles, places to stay, treats and a new leash for Zigs. Since the Sentinel's article "Pleasure Point man loses everything in fire," responses have been amazing. With all that is going on in the world today, the many acts of kindness toward Will are truly heartwarming.
Our family wishes to express our deepest thanks for your compassion and generosity. These very personal actions are profound in Will's life and ours.
Mark Bernardi, Scotts Valley
Blanket drive a huge success
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the people who braved the bad weather to stop by and donate a blanket for the homeless center this Saturday.
We enjoyed the community spirit you shared by your donation, and seeing the joy on the faces of the people who received your gift was priceless. I hope you all know that someone is sleeping a little warmer tonight, thanks to you.
I am looking forward to doing this blanket drive again next year. And with a little more effort, I think we can easily double the amount of donations. God knows they need it!

Big support for Special Olympics
I would like to thank Ron Clements Jr. and the Scotts Valley Market staff for supporting Special Olympics by allowing uniformed police officers to bag groceries for tips on Dec. 15th. This is the second year Ron has graciously supported our "Bagging for Bucks" event with the proceeds going directly to supporting athletes with coaching, training and participation at the summer games. The officers volunteered their time to bag groceries and raised $2,383.69 for Special Olympics. Thank you for all you do for this community.
Lt. John Hohmann, Scotts Valley
Capitola bag ban will protect ocean
Hurrah for the Capitola City Council's courageous vote to ban throwaway plastic grocery bags!
Plastic bags are a direct threat to wildlife. Sea turtles mistake bags for jellyfish, a favorite food, filling their stomachs with indigestible blockage that can starve them to death. A recent study suggests that more than 37 percent of leatherback sea turtles, a California icon, have eaten plastic bags.
Plastic bags entangle birds, fish and other animals, trapping or suffocating them. As plastic bags breaks apart at sea, they add to a soup of floating debris fragments swallowed by many organisms. Whole bags have been found in the stomachs of beached whales.
Capitola's vote to ban bags shows once again that local communities can achieve lasting victories for ocean health. Californians everywhere are standing up to protect the ocean, and local governments lead the way.

Supporting Literacy Program
At this season of sharing, the Literacy Program would like to thank the many tutors, volunteers, and donors who have helped 228 students learn to read, write, and speak English during the past year -- changing their lives and those of their families, and creating an encouraging start for the New Year. We appreciate living in a community that shares both its financial wealth and its wealth of experience.
We invite people who might be interested in tutoring to attend our Prospective Tutor Orientations this Saturday, Jan. 5, at 10 a.m. at the Volunteer Center, 1740 17th Ave., Santa Cruz. Contrary to what one might expect, no foreign language or teaching experience is required, and the benefits in terms of friendship, understanding and satisfaction are great.

This article, entitled "The Perfect Father's Day Gift," comes from Melanie Bloom, MomsEveryday blogger from Lincoln, NE.
I have discovered the best idea for Father's Day. This is something that I bought for my husband last year.
I thought of it on my own, breaking free from the new necktie, new piece of technology, sports equipment or anything else I had ever heard of before.
I bought him a car wash and detailing package. This really could be one of the best ideas I've ever had!
Men usually have a lot of pride in their vehicles. They like to keep them clean, inside and out. They understand and appreciate the reason for car maintenance.
My husband was surprised and thrilled with the gift! He told me that I could give him that present every year. Now, that is the sign of a good present!
I thought it was a good present for my husband because he had bought a car within the last year and within months, you could tell that he was a dad. :)
There were cheerios in the cracks of the seats, milk splattered on the cushions, toys and sand from the sand box all over the place. It had become a dad's vehicle! To restore his car to its former glory, I bought him the car cleaning package.
This is good for Father's Day, birthdays, Christmas and so many more occasions. But on this year's Father's Day, I thought I'd share some of what I've learned with you! Maybe this will help you to find the perfect gift for the man in your life!

New York -- Saks Inc. announced Friday that it plans to close its Saks Fifth Avenue store located in Stamford Town Center in Stamford, Conn., in early 2014.
The shuttering is part of the department store chain's continued right-sizing strategy. "We routinely evaluate the productivity, profitability, and potential of each of our store locations," said Steve Sadove, CEO. "This planned closing is consistent with our strategy of utilizing our resources in our most productive Saks Fifth Avenue stores."
The company has operated its Saks Fifth Avenue store in Stamford since 1983.

As with the changing of seasons, at different times in our lives, circumstances, as well, change. Sometimes, we are in a dry, slow spell, and situations appear stagnate. At times, we may wonder, as with autumn's falling leaves, if one by one our dreams have slipped away. Or we might have experienced cold periods of hurts, disappointments and setbacks, where difficulties overwhelmed us.
But, hold on. You're coming into a new season of change and transformation where circumstances will change to your benefit.
I read in the Bible, in John 2:1-11, where it tells us that Jesus, His mother, Mary, and the disciples were guests at a wedding in Cana. The wine ran out, and through the urging and expectation of His mother, Jesus took the six water pots filled to the brim with water, and He turned them into wine. However, He created not just any wine, but the finest of wines. Jesus brought something new and better to the guests at the wedding. Instantly, there was a change.
Likewise, positive change is approaching you. Blessings are coming your way that will bring you to new heights of achievement. Windows that were closed in the past will now swing open. And suddenly, you'll be propelled forward.
Out of the blue, good people will come into your life. And, in a flash, amazing opportunities are going to find you. Your career will take off, and conditions won't be as difficult anymore. You're moving toward your miracle.
So don't give up; extend your hand. Do not be discouraged or impatient. Your heart's desires are right within your grasp. God's hand of blessing is going to take you along a brand-new, wonderful path.
Listen, God is whispering to you today:
-- "I will fill your life with good things and renew your strength like the eagle." Psalm 103:5.
-- "Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed." Deuteronomy 28:6.
-- "I am going to restore the years that were lost." Joel 2:25.
No matter what has transpired, God has not forgotten about His promises to you. So keep on trying and persevere in the direction of your goals. Continue to do your very best. In a moment's notice, you can go from seeming failure to great success, from sickness to complete health, from shortage to abundance, from loneliness to companionship. A season of change is forthcoming.
Years ago, a friend of mine was in a terrible relationship. After she finally broke it off with her boyfriend, she finished her education and became a nurse. With the hard lessons she had learned from her previous relationship, she knew what she wanted in a life partner, and even jotted down on a piece of paper a list of attributes she hoped to one day find in a husband.
Time passed, and my friend held onto the dream in her heart of someday being married to her soul mate. She continued to enjoy her life, traveling, participating in hobbies, and advancing her career. Some would shake their heads and say disapprovingly to her, "You're getting older," and "Your biological clock is ticking." One person even uttered, "Stop being so fussy, there must be someone suitable for you to settle down with and marry!"
Those negative words hurt. However, my friend mustered the strength to ignore the remarks and was unwavering with her faith in God as she plodded onward. "I paid no attention to the hurtful comments and insults," she declared. "I didn't get caught up in defending myself, and I avoided arguments. It doesn't bring any benefit and just wastes time and energy."
My friend told me how she didn't want to just 'settle' for 'less than' the perfect mate God had for her. She asked the Lord to give her strength to see her heart's dream come true, and thus, she remained patient, even though her prayers were not yet answered. For silence does not mean God is idle. Remember, it takes careful arranging and precise planning for God to line up the right people and right circumstances that are best for us.
Then, at the hospital, quite unexpectedly, one thing led to another, and my friend met a wonderful man who was an employee there. They began dating. Six months later, they joyfully got engaged and a year later, were married. Now, they share a wonderful life together with their two precious children. The hand of God moved her to her destiny.
Last fall, my daughter went on a field trip with her school to a science center. My husband was a chaperon; and when they returned home, he told me that when they arrived at the center, the teachers lined up the students by their last name. Since ours starts with a 'V,' my daughter was last in line. Next, out of the blue, the science center's tour guide came by and said to the group of students, "Turn around, we are going to start viewing the exhibits from the back." Instantly, my daughter went from being in the back of the line, to leading the line.
Maybe you've sacrificed and waited and have been in the background in the past. But, be on the lookout. Expect to experience God's best, for instantaneously you can move to the forefront.
God is getting ready to do extraordinary things in your life. So spend daily time in prayer and worship. And faithfully persist in walking forward. With each step you take, you're getting closer to triumphing. Your time is coming. The season of change and transformation is almost here.... and your beautiful dreams will become a reality.

The company began as a "mom-and-pop shop" with a single 2,500-square-foot facility in Ossian. John Roembke started without a single customer or employee, yet the company has charted steady growth.
Despite wanting to keep the facility less than 10,000 square feet with no more than 10 workers, the Roembke family "grew that location through the years," said Roembke's son, Greg Roembke, current president of the company.
With nine expansions, including an additional 36,000 square feet in 2000, the facility is now about 62,000 square feet.
While he said he didn't have exact numbers for how the economic downturns over the past few years affected the company, Greg Roembke said, "Everyone had a little bit of an impact … but the largest or most recent impact … to cause a slowdown is the 2.3 percent tax that Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) applied to companies that produce medical devices." The tax goes into effect next year and will be on the sale of certain medical devices. However, companies are already making adjustments, such as delaying expansions, that are affecting the economy, he said.
There are currently 49 employees with room for more, Greg Roembke said. "The No. 1 thing that sets us apart is our people … There is a need for skilled people for this industry. It's a difficult thing for us to find."
Throughout the history of the company, he estimates they have built 14,000 production molds. They have stayed competitive by working closely with customers and offering ideas for improvement, Greg Roembke said.
A media release said 98 percent of the molds are tested before shipping. Testing includes looking at temperature limits and cycle time for each mold, Greg Roembke said. Customers often come from around the world to be present for tests on the limits of their molds, whether for temperature or cycle time.
The future of Roembke Mfg. is full of technological innovation, as some projects may involve a five-year development. Greg Roembke said "this makes it very fun for the business we're in … every mold is unique."

Looking back to 98 days ago, Synovus Financial Corp. ( SNV) priced a 59,870,550 share secondary stock offering at $3.09 per share. Buyers in that offering made a considerable investment into the company, expecting that their investment would go up over the course of time and based on early trading on Friday, the stock is now 6.8% above the offering price. It should be noted that investors at the secondary have collected $0.01/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently up 7.1% on their purchase from a total return basis.Investors who did not participate in the offering but would be a buyer of SNV at a cheaper price, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2016 put at the $3 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of 40 cents. That would result in a cost basis of $2.60 per share before broker commissions in the scenario where the contract is exercised. If the contract is never exercised, the put seller would still keep the premium, which represents a 13.3% return against the $3.00 purchase commitment, or a 6% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).

I need to strengthen my elbow. I injured it in a tournament about a year ago and it just hasn't fully healed.
I was wondering if anyone here had some good work outs and stretches to do to help strengthen my elbow so I can get my full power back.
I bought some of those rubberbands with the grips but wondered if there was a specific way to use them.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Count Joe Namath among those growing more skeptical about the New York Jets' future under coach Rex Ryan.
With Ryan retooling much of his staff, no general manager in place, and the quarterback situation in flux, Namath does not see much reason to believe better days are ahead following a 6-10 season.
"I'm certainly less optimistic about the Jets than I have been in the past," Namath said during a telephone interview with Sporting News. "The question you have to ask is: 'Is Rex providing the kind of leadership you want? Is this the kind of leadership that creates a disciplined team?' I don't think so.
"In Rex's first year, I said I had never been a part of a situation that used his style of leadership, and I hope it works. They got to the playoffs both of the first two years and did well, but things have gone downhill since."
Namath said he was not surprised that Ryan kept his job, believing the success he had during his first two seasons with the Jets has sold owner Woody Johnson.
"When you've won over half your games and you're 4-2 in the playoffs, and you get to the AFC championship game twice, it's hard to justify getting rid of a guy," Namath said. "But this is a tough situation the Jets have gotten themselves into with their salary cap, with the head coach's contract, with Mark Sanchez's contract."
A number of Ryan's former assistant coaches have either been fired or have moved on since the season ended, including the offensive coordinator, the defensive coordinator, the special teams coordinator, and the linebackers coach. Assistant head coach/linebackers coach Bob Sutton became the latest assistant to leave, when he departed Friday to become the Chiefs' defensive coordinator.
The New York Daily News reported Friday that the Jets would interview Cam Cameron as a possible replacement for Tony Sparano, who was fired this week as offensive coordinator.
Namath views the upheaval within Ryan's coaching staff as another warning sign.
"I wouldn't necessarily call it jumping ship, but it's a unique ship that they're leaving," said Namath, who was promoting his website, BroadwayJoe.tv, and his new "Broadway Joe" low-calorie drink (broadwayjoesdrink.com).
"Rex Ryan can fill you up with hyperbole, but it's a style we haven't seen before and probably for good reason. This isn't about hyperbole. It's reality. And I like Rex. I got along well with his dad (Buddy Ryan), who I know better than I know Rex. But it's not a matter of personal like or dislike. I'm just looking at the situation."
And like many Jets fans, when Namath looks at the team now, he wonders if things will improve anytime soon.

10 Getaways the Whole Group Can Get In On
After an up-and-down, windy, hour-long trip from the airport—small planes can land 10 minutes away at George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU), but large ones touch down at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF)—I was ready for both fresh air and steady ground. Luckily, I was quickly shown to one of the 331 rooms at Sandals' La Toc resort, complete with a small French balcony and at that hour, sunset views of the pool and ocean. From the basic to the super-deluxe suites, all rooms come equipped with a good-night's-sleep-inducing king-size bed, a large flat-screen TV, and a sizable bathroom with a whirlpool tub. My post-flight thirsty skin was all about the Red Lane Spa products waiting next to the shower.
The best part of vacation may just be leaving the yoga pants and food journal at home and indulging in the goodness of local cuisine. Between La Toc and its nearby sister resorts, Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Halycon, I ate at a different spot for nearly every meal, chowing down on table chef-prepared hibachi and cucumber-infused sake at Kimono's, Italian antipasti samplers and lots of red wine at Aramando's, and a massive traditional St. Lucian buffet at Bayside. You could try all 22 eateries included in the Discovery Dining program during your stay, but what's vital is embracing the romance at Gordon's, where you're seated at the end of a pier smack on the perimeter of the Caribbean Sea.

Nicky Blaine's – Nicky Blaine's is one of the more upscale and classy lounges in Indianapolis. Nicky's is a cigar bar and there are plenty in Indianapolis but none are quite as classy or upscale as Nicky Blaine's.
As soon as you enter Nicky Blaine's, you'll get the feeling like you're in a upscale bar from the 1960s. The bar is very dimly lit and features several nice leather couches and chairs around the entire lounge. The bar is predominately red which offers that warm, intimate feeling that you'd find in an upscale cigar bar. The sound of light jazz will remind you of the cocktail lounges of the 50s and 60s and it almost seems like Nicky's was directly taken out of a scene from Mad Men.
Nicky Blaine's features a large selection of premium cigars and the prices are reasonable for an upscale lounge. You can order of several signature house cocktails and traditional cocktails as well although this is not the type of bar you order a rum and coke. Nicky's is all about being upscale and classy so expect to order a drink that fits the bill. Sure you are going to pay a bit more for cigars and drinks but this is what you should expect to pay in an upscale lounge.
The wait staff is incredibly knowledgeable at Nicky Blaine's and will be able to help you pick out a cigar based upon your tastes. Your waiter will even cut the cigar and light it for you and are attentive throughout your entire stay.
Nicky Blaine's is a great cigar bar and is the perfect spot to take a group of friends or date that doesn't mind smoking. It is not the type of bar you buy cheap drinks or pound shots. It is the perfect bar for a few handcrafted cocktails for an intimate group of friends.
Bartini's – Bartini's is one of the few true nightclubs in Indianapolis and is arguably Indianapolis' best nightclub. Bartini's is located right in center city Indianapolis, so it is easy to get to and there are plenty of bars around the area to go for dinner before dancing and partying at Bartini's.
Inside the club you'll find the dance floor is large and open, which is perfect for the 20-something crowd looking to drink, dance and party. Drinks are fairly affordable for a club and some signature cocktails are the favorites among the young crowd.
Bartini's also has a few VIP areas set up for special events or for groups just looking to enjoy the VIP treatment for a night. Bottle service is offered and it is obviously expensive, although not terribly expensive if the group splits the bill later.

Topic: Feel safe?
A British Airways pilot was forced to make an emergency landing after two passengers carried a five-litre can of petrol onto a packed London-bound flight as hand luggage.
The fuel, enough to blow up the airliner, was taken on board the Boeing 737 flight at Naples after the pair, believed to be Irish musicians, walked openly through security checks.
The alarm was raised less than half an hour after flight BA2607 left Italy at 10.15am yesterday, bound for Gatwick, with 132 mostly British passengers. As the plane took off petrol started leaking out of the container, which had been put on the floor at the men's feet.
Cabin crew alerted the captain, who immediately decided to abort the flight and landed at Rome airport, where the two men were arrested.
Today BA was conducting a major investigation into how security systems at Naples failed to register the plastic can as a danger and no security staff intervened.
The astonishing incident came as security was tightened in London in the build-up to the anniversary tomorrow of 11 September. The two men apparently did not realise they were doing anything wrong and told police they used the petrol to fuel a portable generator for their electric guitars. Chris Yates, Jane's Civil Aviation security editor, said: "Petrol is an explosive fluid. You just open the can, ignite the fumes and the whole thing goes up.
"The dangers are obvious. Anything that goes off in a passenger cabin would cause a rupture in the skin of the aircraft, substantial damage and then potentially bring it down."
The flight had been due to arrive in London at 2.10pm, but many passengers did not arrive until 10 hours later as they were put on board other flights from Rome.
The BA aircraft was grounded at Rome while the spilt petrol was dealt with. Melvyn Searle, 49, a food company managing director from Newcastle, was on the flight with wife Denise, 40. He described their ordeal as " terrifying" when they finally arrived at Heathrow at 10.30 last night.
Mr Searle said: "We saw the two Irish men queueing up and they clearly had a big can of petrol with them. It was a jerry can, about a foot and a half high and a foot wide. They were at the back of the plane and had it by their feet and when the plane took off it started leaking."
He added: "When the stewardesses smelled the petrol they started looking out of the window to see if the engines were on fire. Then the captain went on the intercom and told us there was a 'problem with fuel' so we had to stop at Rome. You can imagine how much that scares people when you are thousands of feet up in the air."
Mrs Searle said: "When the captain came down to speak to his staff after they had been taken off he looked as white as a sheet".
A British Airways spokesman said: "We don't know how they managed to get on. We are talking to the airport authorities and looking at our own procedures."
A Foreign Office spokesman said two British nationals had been arrested and one had been charged by Italian police with breaking air transport regulations. Both have now been released.

Walking down the steps to Rosewood House's basement Wednesday night, visitors were met with a ring of smiling people, the smell of fresh-brewed coffee and the sounds of laughter.
It was graduation night.
But the Youth and Family Services' remodeled Victorian, housing up to six women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction and jail sentences for the past decade, cannot always claim such celebratory days.
Women partaking in the voluntary transitional housing program, generally a year-long process, are just as likely to have spent a night at Rosewood House crying, butting heads or admitting they were wrong.
On Wednesday, though, the tears were joyful in nature, honoring four women who had completed one more step in their recoveries.
Each has a child or children that has kept them moving forward when they wanted to give up.
Roshawn Adams, 42, has a daughter and newborn grandson, to boot. The former licensed practical nurse plans to train to go into the substance abuse counseling or psychology field.
Before Adams reached graduation day at Rosewood House, however, she was an on-again, off-again crack cocaine user since she was 19, living mostly in Stockton, and eventually arrested on a petty theft charge.
"I've been here for 11 months. I thrive on getting myself together," Adams explained just before the ceremony. "I've come to realize my own self worth and I'm liking it."
The Rosewood House and other programs, Adams said, have helped her pinpoint what her drug-use triggers were, what her weak areas are, and has forced her to face her "defects of character." She now has a litany of completed programs, her own home and a car on the horizon. Her future includes a newly forged strong social network, her faith, a new job and a path to a new career.
"It's been an awesome ride ..." Adams said. "I just wish I'd have had this knowledge and wisdom a long time ago. But it's better late than never, I think."
Fellow graduate Candace Ford is well known to those she works with at Rosewood House, having been in and out of jail for 16 years, and a past guest of the facility. The 47-year-old said she has been using drugs since she was 11, growing up on the streets of Oakland. The back-to-back deaths of Ford's husband and son in the 1990s marked the beginning of a substance abuse relapse, after six years of sobriety, she said.
Now, Ford has custody of her 17-year-old daughter, a house and her driver's license for the first time in 16 years.
Ford acknowledged to those gathered Wednesday, "I definitely have a past."
"I believe everything that's happened is there for a reason," Ford said. "I'm a strong woman, I'm a survivor."
Graduate Kim Reames, self-described as "frank," took time to thank Rosewood House staff and program participants for ways they have helped her on her journey.
"This is an awesome, awesome place," Reames said. "There's a lot you can get from it, if you want it."
Silepa Vaiuli, those gathered Wednesday said over and over again, was a hard-working, intelligent woman who may not be able to see her own value. Her 19-year-old son, Aubrey Sevi, Vaiuli said, encouraged her to stick with her program, even if it meant missing his high school graduation -- she can come to his college graduation instead, he said.
"It gives them something to work harder for, knowing that their children are back in their lives," Rosewood House Program Manager Susie Foreman said after the ceremony. "And it just gives them hope, which they thought they had lost."
Rosewood House participants are required to have had some prior treatment and recovery success prior to admittance, and to pay a minimal rent. Some program objectives include life and job skills coaching, employment, health coverage, stable housing, family reunification and continued recovery.

The Palo Alto Architectural Review Board is set today to consider a request from Tesla Motors Inc. to add a pair of signs to its El Camino Real showroom that wouldn't typically be allowed under city rules.
The request for an exception comes just days after the city council upheld the panel's approval of another sign that didn't comply with the municipal code. Over the objections of residents, Grocery Outlet received permission to attach a 26-foot-tall sign to its new location at Alma Village.
Tesla already has the city's approval to erect a pair of wall signs at its showroom at 4180 El Camino Real. But it wants another wall sign and a freestanding sign to make sure the location can't be missed by passersby, whether on foot or driving.
"The addition of these two signs will help beautify the property and surrounding area, as well as bring a more enjoyable customer experience while positively influencing the public health, safety, general welfare and convenience," Angela Wisco of Tesla Motors wrote in a letter to the city.
By itself, the freestanding sign would comply with the municipal code. But the additional wall sign would not. At 116 square feet, it would surpass a requirement that restricts wall signs to 100 square feet. The additional wall sign would also be mounted below one of the previously approved signs and city guidelines limit the number of signs per façade to one.
The combination of three wall signs and one freestanding sign also isn't permitted under the municipal code.
A report by senior planner Jodie Gerhardt noted that the previously approved wall signs would be positioned to capture the eyes of motorists, while the additional signs would be geared toward pedestrians.
Tesla's request doesn't appear to have the same level of urgency as Grocery Outlet's. The extreme-value grocer said it would not move into the 20,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Miki's Farm Fresh Market without the 26-foot-tall sign. A majority of council members agreed that having a market was more important than letting the space sit vacant.

Cardinals land Competitive Balance Lottery pick
ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals netted an extra pick in the 2015 First-Year Player Draft through Wednesday's Competitive Balance Lottery, which was introduced in the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement as a way to give small-market and low-revenue teams the chance to earn one of 12 extra picks.
The Cardinals' won the third selection in Round A, which comes immediately after the first round. This year, the Cardinals had a pick in the Competitive Balance Round B, which they used to take college right-hander Andrew Morales at No. 71 overall.
There were 15 teams eligible to receive a pick in this year's lottery, with that pool made up of the clubs in the 10 smallest markets and those that have the 10 smallest revenue pools. Teams that receive revenue-sharing funds are eligible for the second supplemental round only. The odds of winning an extra pick are based on the reverse standings from last season, meaning the Cardinals were the least likely team to be selected.
The added pick means the Cardinals will receive a windfall of extra funds into their 2015 Draft pool. This year, a pick in Competitive Balance Round A added an average of $1.78 million to a team's pool.
These Competitive Balance picks can also be traded, which makes them a valuable asset with the non-waiver Trade Deadline approaching. Last year, for instance, the Orioles sent their Competitive Balance pick to Houston as part of their package for Bud Norris.
These picks can traded just once and only in the regular season. Cash cannot be involved in the transaction.

According to Motorola, APCO Survey First Responders Say Advanced Technology Critical for Effectiveness
Joint Motorola and APCO survey highlights need for mission critical technologies that increase situational awareness, streamline incident coordination, and enhance data access, among other key findings
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -- Motorola, Inc. and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) today released the findings of a national survey to assess how public safety organizations use current communications technology and what future capabilities they would deploy to help improve emergency response, officer effectiveness and public and officer safety.
Key survey findings reveal a strong demand for technology solutions that provide advanced situational awareness to first responders, improve incident coordination, and streamline emergency response. A top concern of first responders nationwide is their ability to react to natural disasters (65%), superseding both terrorist attacks (7%) and crime (10%). Regional fire and police officials dually note that advanced communications technology ranks as the most critical aid in preparedness and response both now and in the future.
While technologies are improving, community officials report that the greatest need for improvement from advanced technologies in public safety arises in terms of range, speed, and availability (26%), interoperability (25%), and availability of equipment (17%). Topping responders' "wish lists" were rugged notebook computers, visual identification and recognition capabilities, and smart transportation navigation.
The survey also uncovered areas for improvement within departments, as well as additional communications needs for responders and communities. Community officials in both large and small populations listed mapping technologies, or GPS tracking, as the top tool they'd hope to see utilized as technology continues to evolve in the security and safety arena.
"This national study validates how critical intuitive technology and communications tools are for public safety professionals in order to protect citizens in both rural and urban communities," said Mark Moon, senior vice president, Motorola Government & Commercial Markets, Americas. "Working in concert with organizations that represent the public safety community, industry solution providers are clearly making progress on meeting users' current needs. Motorola's future product development efforts are focused on providing advanced and fully integrated technologies essential to saving lives and combating unforeseen challenges."
The survey also examined the varying needs of police departments, fire departments, emergency medical services, and public administrators. Fire officials regard traffic light sensor technologies (41%) as critical to their needs, while police departments rely more heavily on mobile video systems (63%). With regard to areas needing improvement, fire departments would like to have better availability of mapping technology (35%); police officials are more likely than fire officials to volunteer that they face continuing challenges with interoperability (51%).
"Improving communications and providing critical information to emergency responders helps save lives," said Richard Mirgon, First Vice President of APCO. "This survey indicates that better-informed users are more effective in their jobs and the continuing advancement of technologies gives our first responders the tools necessary to protect themselves and the public."
The survey also studied concerns, areas of progress, and broad technology demand trends among users in urban and rural areas. Responders based in urban or suburban settings are more likely to value improved data availability and access (20%) as their greatest benefit. Conversely, those in rural environments are more likely than their counterparts to cite the range, speed and availability of equipment (35%) as most critical. Larger communities of 100,000 or more report technology as most helpful in providing situational awareness to incident response (4.6 on a five-point scale) over smaller pools less than 10,000, who cite the aid of technology in interoperability between county agencies (4.4 on a five-point scale) as most helpful.
Public safety officials from large and small population areas similarly point to more training for first responders (25%) and the need for additional responders (29%) as areas that are in need of increased attention, based on the allocation of funds.
To access a full report of the study, visit http://www.motorola.com/FutureTech.
* Respondents were asked to indicate whether technology has helped or hindered their communities' public safety organizations in certain areas. They were asked to respond to a five-point scale, where five is "helped a lot," and one is "hindered a lot."
About Survey
Between November 2 and December 4, 2007, the professional interviewing service, Western Wats, conducted a quantitative survey with 200 public safety officials, sampled from the top 100 MSAs. The sample includes both those responsible for overseeing first responders, and those responsible for managing purchases of technology used by first responders. The survey was conducted through telephone interviews, averaging 20 minutes in length. The sampling error for the survey results reported is plus or minus seven percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

NASA Tells Congress to "Pray" if Meteor Comes

Russia's meteor
(Source: gannett-cdn.com)
NASA needs funding for small meteor defense
NASA told Congress to "pray" if a meteor similar to
the one that hit Russia last month
is ever three weeks away from the U.S.
NASA administrator Charles Bolden Jr. told Congress that the U.S. doesn't have the proper equipment to identify a small meteor (the size of Russia's meteor) in a House Committee hearing on Tuesday.
"If it's coming in three weeks ... pray," Bolden said. "The reason I can't do anything in the next three weeks is because for decades we have put it off. We are where we are today because, you know, you all told us to do something and between the administration and the Congress, the funding to do that did not - the bottom line is always
the funding did not come
The U.S. is able to detect larger meteors (and offset them a bit by crashing a spacecraft into them, thus slowing them down and changing their course) with plenty of in advance, but smaller objects are more difficult because the sun blinds satellites. That's precisely why Russia didn't see the meteor coming -- and neither did the U.S.
Had the meteor not stayed intact for only seconds longer, it would have had the impact of 20 Hiroshima bombs once hitting Russia, according to a
CBS News report
Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, said that the U.S. needs a space-based infrared telescope to see smaller objects coming. This particular telescope would work because the sun wouldn't be an issue in blocking sight of the objects.
Yeomans also suggested ground-based wide field optical telescopes that could keep an eye on large parts of the sky at night.
The space-based infrared telescope would cost "a few hundred million dollars."
However, government funding remains an issue. Bolden said NASA was budgeted only $20.5 million for its near-Earth object observation program for fiscal 2012.
While NASA doesn't see any large meteors coming toward Earth in the foreseeable future (and current large meteor detection equipment would know decades in advance), small meteors need to be taken seriously as well to prevent destruction.
The Chelyabinsk meteor exploded over Russia on February 15, 2013. It was estimated to be traveling at 40,000 MPH and was about 11,000 tonnes.

Last night, I made your narrow headband for my 6 YO daughter. Had to shorten the braided elastic but otherwise it fits great. She chose blue and white snowflake fabric on one side and green and red Christmas wreath fabric for the other. She loves it and wore it to school today. I am a knitter and I typically do not sew, as I find it too challenging, but this project was really simple. I used Decor Bond fusible lining and it worked well. THANKS!
i love the handmades series!!!!!!!! so great! thank you!!!!

I have 4 grandaughters and their parents are asking that toys be reduced to almost nothing. I am in total agreement as we are all reducing the buying this year. Handmade gifts will now be even more important in our effort to reduce, reuse, recycle. My girls will be getting some of these lovely hair clips, headbands, etc. for Christmas. Thank you for the awesome site.
The hair curlers are SO funny and they look great!
Great ideas! Do you think an overweight, middle-aged woman can get away with those covered hair clips?? I so want them!

Many women have pain with their periods, especially when they are in their teens. In most cases, menstrual pain does not mean a more serious problem, although sometimes it can be associated with endometriosis or uterine fibroids, non-cancerous tumors in the uterus.
The medical term for menstrual pain is primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea usually starts 2 - 3 years after the first period, as a woman begins to ovulate regularly. Pain usually starts a day or two before menstrual flow, and may continue through the first 2 days of the period. Often, pain gets better as a woman gets older, or after she has a child.
Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by underlying conditions, such as endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Symptoms and degree of pain vary, but they may include the following:
Primary dysmenorrhea is caused by strong contractions of the uterus triggered by prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that are involved in inflammation and pain. Generally, the higher the levels of prostaglandins, the more menstrual pain.
Secondary dysmenorrhea can be caused by:
A pelvic examination may include an internal examination, laparoscopy, and ultrasound. You may need a Pap test. Your doctor may also ask for blood and urine samples.
Drug Therapies
Initial treatment is focused on relieving pain.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) -- help relieve pain. They can cause stomach upset, so taking them with food may help. Long-term use can increase the risk of stomach bleeding. NSAIDs include over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve). Prescription NSAIDs are also available.
Birth control pills and patches -- can help relieve pain and may be prescribed for problems such as endometriosis.
For menstrual pain results caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), your doctor will prescribe antibiotics.
Complementary and Alternative Therapies
Some women find that changing their diets makes cramps less severe. Mind-body techniques such as meditation and exercises such as yoga and tai chi can also help relieve pain.
Nutrition and Supplements
The following supplements may also help relieve menstrual pain:
Herbs are generally available as standardized dried extracts (pills, capsules, or tablets), teas, or tinctures or liquid extracts (alcohol extraction, unless otherwise noted). Mix liquid extracts with favorite beverage. Dose for teas is 1 - 2 heaping teaspoonfuls in a cup of water, steeped for 10 - 15 minutes (roots need to be steeped longer).
No scientific studies have been done on whether these herbs can reduce menstrual pain, but some have been used traditionally for pain relief. Some researchers think these herbs may act like estrogen in the body. Women who have a history of hormone-related cancer, who are taking hormone replacement therapy, or who have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood-thinning medication should ask their doctor before taking these herbs:
Few studies have examined the effectiveness of specific homeopathic remedies. However, a professional homeopath may recommend one or more of the following treatments for menstrual pain based on his or her knowledge and clinical experience. Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type -- your physical, emotional, and intellectual makeup. An experienced homeopath assesses all of these factors when determining the most appropriate remedy for a particular individual.
Physical Medicine
The following methods may help relieve pelvic pain:
Acupuncture has become a popular treatment for menstrual pain. The National Institutes of Health recommend acupuncture either by itself or along with other treatments for menstrual pain. In a well-designed study of 43 women with menstrual pain, women treated with acupuncture had less pain and needed less pain medication.
Acupuncturists treat people with dysmenorrhea based on an individualized assessment of the excesses and deficiencies of energy (called qi) located in various meridians. In the case of dysmenorrhea, a qi deficiency is usually detected in the liver and spleen meridians. Moxibustion (a technique in which the herb mugwort is burned over specific acupuncture points) is often added to enhance needling treatment, and qualified practitioners may also recommend herbal or dietary treatments.
Acupressure also works to relieve pain. A study of 216 female students found that acupressure and ibuprofen were better than placebo at reducing pain.
Some people with menstrual pain may find relief with spinal manipulation, particularly in areas that supply sensory and motor impulses to the uterus and lower back.
If your symptoms change, or treatment does not help, tell your provider.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sugar before your period starts.

Francona values baserunning over stolen bases
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The retooled Cleveland Indians offense can run. With Jason Kipnis, Drew Stubbs, Michael Bourn and Michael Brantley, it is no secret Cleveland will be able to steal bases in 2013.
The quartet of Indians combined to swipe 115 bags last season, but manager Terry Francona's focus is not on stealing bases. Instead, he is focused on strong, fundamental baserunning.
"I think we have the potential to be [a good baserunning team]," Francona said. "That's more important to me than the number of stolen bases. Not getting doubled off on line drives, going first to third, things like that. That's more important to me than the number of stolen bases we have."
In addition to going from first to third on a hit, the Indians' speed is expected to put pressure on opposing defenses, something Francona has experience managing against.
"When you go into a series [against a team that can run], you better throw the ball where it is supposed to go, or they will run you into errors/mistakes and embarrass you."
Forcing opponents to make the right defensive play is certainly the Indians' goal, but there is a time and place to be aggressive on the basepaths. Cleveland hopes to use its speed to force mistakes and generate additional offense, but that does not mean the Indians will run wild.
Francona still wants his guys to be smart and pick their spots.
"However you produce runs, that's the idea," Francona said. "We want to push, and we want to be intelligent. Our job as coaches and managers is to put guys in positions where they can use their tools. If they can run, we will let them run."

Topic: Fear of Caregivers
My Dad has been brought home for outpatient hospice. My Mom is the primary caregiver, my brother stays from 9:00 p.m. until 9:00 a.m., and I take the shift from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. I feel my Dad has only a few more weeks left.
Because of job responsibilities, this situation is not tenable for the term. We have talked to my 75 year old mother about having a caregiver here round the clock. My Mom is totally freaked out and scared about having a stranger in her house.
Am I wrong, or a bad son, for exploring this? My Dad's oncologist suggested it to give my Mom a break, but she is the type of personality that would still insist on being here even if there was a caregiver in the house.
Does anyone have any insight or suggestions for this situation?
Thanks in advance,

If mere suffering exists, no sufferer is found, then why Buddha asked us to extend loving kindness towards the sufferer?
Perhaps loving kindness is directed towards the suffering (the five khandhas out of which there is fabrication of a sufferer) itself.
the five aggregates subject to grasping are suffering.

Such loving kindness, though directed towards another panca-khandha, is actually also contributing to reducing the suffering of the panca-khandha which generates loving kindness.

The Eel River Double AA Blue Huskies won the Six Rivers Youth Football Conference Championship with their 21-14 victory over the Del Norte Warriors in the title game at Humboldt State University back on Nov. 11. Eel River held the lead in the game throughout; a fourth quarter comeback by Del Norte made it a one touchdown game. A foiled onside kickoff in the final minutes was secured by the Huskies and the championship was decided. Del Norte earned a Single A Championship earlier in the day with their 27-0 win over the Eureka Red Loggers. The Triple AAA Championship was won by the McKinleyville team, a 22-6 winner over the Del Norte Warriors.

Nationals reunited with former teammate Dunn
WASHINGTON -- Former Nationals player Adam Dunn was back in town on Tuesday, when his White Sox started a three-game Interleague series with the Nationals, and his old teammates were glad to see him.
Dunn was not in the starting lineup for the series opener, likely because Washington sent out left-hander Gio Gonzalez. The Nationals' former first baseman has been with the White Sox since 2010 after spending two years in Washington. But after signing his free-agent deal with Chicago, the normally strong hitter endured a disappointing 2011, batting just .159 with 11 homers and 42 RBIs.
He rebounded in a big way in 2012, finishing with 41 homers and 96 RBIs despite batting only .204. He earned an All-Star Game trip and was named the American League Comeback Player of the Year, and his former teammates were very happy to see that.
"Obviously, Adam works hard and had some good years and has had a lot of good years in baseball," said third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. "So for him to kind of go through a season like that is tough to watch, and it's tough to have to think about what he's going through knowing what kind of person he is and how much pride he takes in his work."
Shortstop Ian Desmond said that Dunn's actions as he went through the struggles of 2011 showed him something and drove home some of the points the veteran taught him while they were teammates.
"The way he handled himself, going through those struggles -- that was unbelievable," Desmond said. "He had a terrible time. His fans were booing him. He obviously wasn't playing up to his potential. He was going through some things, and he kept his head up and he kept running out there and playing. That's what being a professional is all about."
