Neil Tarpey/The Times-Standard
ARCATA -- Although Wednesday's ballgame lasted 10 innings, it moved along at a rapid pace, thanks to good defense -- no errors by either team -- and strong pitching.
In the home half of the 10th, Brad Zimmer came up big once again for the home team, this time by stroking a walk-off single to center that knocked in Ryan Dettman with the winning run as the Humboldt Crabs took a 3-2 win over the tough Marysville Gold Sox.
"A good piece of hitting going on right there, going with the pitch," Crabs manager Matt Nutter said about Zimmer's game-winner.
The win improves the Crabs overall record to 10-4 heading into this weekend's three-game series against a Far West League opponent, the Nor Cal Longhorns. First pitch for Friday's opener is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The loss dropped the Gold Sox to 15-3, as they headed home right after the game to prepare for tonight's home contest against the Seattle Studs.
"Another well-played game between two good teams," said Gold Sox manager Jack Johnson. "The team over there took advantage of their home field and the good karma that goes with it, just like we try to do when we're at home."
Kurt Yinger started and threw seven strong innings for the Crabs, scattering seven hits and giving up two earned runs. Kenny Smith, who took over to start the eighth and pitched three solid innings, allowed two hits, no runs, no walks and whiffed three Gold Sox as he earned the W.
"We got great pitching again," said Nutter. "Kurt gave us seven solid, and Kenny had good control and a good mound presence."
Marysville's quartet of pitchers -- starting southpaw Kenton Bevaqua, Corey Rhodes, Patrick O'Rourke and lefty Paul Moeller -- also gave robust performances in a game where both offenses struggled to generate runs.
The Crabs got on the board first -- in the bottom of the first -- when leadoff man Spencer Duggan singled to right and scored when Ty Afenir cracked a double to the 343-foot mark in left-center field.
The Gold Sox responded in the top of the second when former Crab Justin Lamb lead off with a single to right, advanced to second on Johnny Rubino's bunt. moved to third on Tommy Lininger's single and scored on Casey Scott's fielder's choice grounder.
In the third, the visitors took the lead with two outs when Victor Romero from Oklahoma State launched a solo homer that sailed over the top of the scoreboard.
Humboldt tied it in the bottom of the fourth when Andrew Rodriguez lined a single to left that brought in Zimmer, who had singled and later stolen third base.
The Crabs' winning run developed when Dettman drew a one-out walk and scooted to third on Drongesen's hit-and-run single to right, setting the stage for Zimmer's heroics.
Zimmer also made two excellent defensive plays, first with a diving grab of Justin Charles' liner in the second, and then by hustling to play Lamb's single off the wall in the fifth, holding him to a single.
Rubino, Marysville's shortstop, made a superb backhand play on Nick Latta's short-hopper in the 5-6 hole in the second, and Latta had to run a hard 90 to beat the accurate throw whipped across the infield.

Hi delf,delf7 wrote:hello all, i am thinking of applying to attend a 10-day course in "vipassana meditation as taught by s.n. goenka in the tradition of sayagyi u ba khin" offered at a retreat in northern illinois, usa. the goenka organization holds these world-wide.
i am very interested in doing this, but in researching this, i have read some very bad reviews of mr. goenka's teaching (or should i say his "assistant teachers" as mr. goenka's discourses tend to be via videotape) and his "schools". i have also read some very good things (one such "review" by a trusted member of this forum, who i tend to believe).
i have read people calling his retreats "cult boot-camps" and "not based in true theravada" while others have called them "wonderful experiences".
i am curious as to if anyone here has attended any of these retreats and what impressions you had of the experience.
any input would be greatly appriciated.
kind regards,
Ud 5.5 wrote:Just as the ocean has a gradual shelf, a gradual slope, a gradual inclination, with a sudden drop-off only after a long stretch, in the same way this Doctrine and Discipline (dhamma-vinaya) has a gradual training, a gradual performance, a gradual progression, with a penetration to gnosis only after a long stretch.
delf7 wrote:i've always been the type of person who jumps right in the deep end, but maybe i should learn to tread water first?
How can I be sure I am capable of doing the meditation?
For a person in reasonable physical and mental health who is genuinely interested and willing to make a sincere effort, meditation (including "noble silence") is not difficult. If you are able to follow the instructions patiently and diligently, you can be sure of tangible results. Though it may appear daunting, the day's schedule is neither too severe nor too relaxed. Moreover, the presence of other students practicing conscientiously in a peaceful and conducive atmosphere lends tremendous support to one's efforts.
Modus.Ponens wrote:I have done a 10 day vipassana retreat in that tradition and it was the best thing that I did in my life. The technique is very useful and the results profound. I advise anyone to try it.
Modus.Ponens wrote:Having said that, I also have to say the following:
1- I've read that Mahasi style is more efficient in producing insight than Goenka style. The problem with Goenka tradition is that it requires a certain commitment to the tradition in order to be able to attend certain retreats, like the teacher's self course. If you have practiced any other meditation technique between the last retreat and the teacher's self course, for example, you can't attend the TSC. which brings me to the second point:
Modus.Ponens wrote:2- The whole Goenka organization may be a cult. Most acusations online of this organization being a cult are ignorant and could apply to any form of retreat, which would imply that every temple offering retreats are cults. However, there have been at least 2 cases I've encountered worth considering as more than ignorant talk. A critic from inside the organization (going by the name of "pamojja") apeared on e-sangha and described his case where he was threatened to either embrace the views of Goenka regarding the teachings or never being able to attend another course again. He tried to contact Goenka himself to expose the case but with no reply. Here lies the nature of my doubt: either Goenka was to busy to take care of that subject or he neglected it (which is bad) or he encouraged it (which is worse). Now bear in mind that all this happened on the internet and could mean nothing, but, nevertheless, I would like to make the warning.
Why do I recomend this retreat despite having a slight doubt that it is a cult? Because you can learn the technique _ which has nothing wrong and is very beneficial _ and still not become a cult member.
delf7 wrote:i am looking forward to it, but i am very aware that i need to "get ready" for it. much more reading, much more study and much much more practice need to be done before this undertaking.
delf7 wrote:after giving this much thought, i have decided to apply for the course. i had planned to "jump right in" a.s.a.p., but some good advice here has led me to decide to wait a little longer, so i could have a little more practice under my belt, and give me time to read more of the suttas to achive better footing before taking on the 10-day session.
the whole "could be a cult" warnings do not bother me, as i think it would be easy to call ANY retreat such as this "cult-ish".

Braun not concerned over hitting woes
MILWAUKEE -- A day after the first four-strikeout game of his career, slumping Brewers slugger Ryan Braun offered a simple explanation.
"It's a hard game," Braun said.
He laughed, but he was serious.
"You go through phases where you don't swing the bat well or you don't see the ball well," Braun said. "It happens. You try to minimize those times."
He entered Wednesday's game against the Giants in the midst of one of those times. After going 5-for-8 in his first two games after returning from a neck injury, Braun was 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts over his next four games. He matched his career high by striking out three times apiece Friday and Saturday in St. Louis and struck out four more times Tuesday.
The 10 strikeouts were the most of any four-game stretch in Braun's career and represented an unheard-of slump for a player who won National League MVP honors in 2011 and was runner-up to the Giants' Buster Posey in 2012. It raised concerns that Braun's neck, which locked up during the Brewers' opening homestand and cost Braun three games, was still an issue.
"My neck is fine now," he said. "It was [messed] up for a while. The first couple of games in St. Louis I'm sure it didn't help, but it's not an issue now. Nothing is physical. I'm fine. My swing just [stinks] sometimes."
It's also a matter of seeing the ball well out of a pitcher's hand, Braun said.
"Those two things kind of go hand in hand," Braun said. "When you see the ball well, it feels like your swing works better and is more efficient. When you don't see the ball well, you find a way to just miss pitches you should hit."

I knew Arizona had a rookie QB they were high on, I did think it was Skelton. I mispelled Weeden but I knew the basic facts about him and he is going to be a pretty good QB.
Luck has already lead two game winning drives. Should be three if his defense didn't give up an 80 yard TD pass. Plenty of feathers in Luck's cap already.

I will repeat, has any major network ever considered Luck to be a "Legend in the Making?" I didn't think so....
A "marginal fan" who invested in season tickets? A "friend" who conveniently decided to go when your brother didn't want to? lmao
I travel a lot for my business and I have for many years. I used to fly in for some games but I couldn't get to them all. The tickets were a present for my neices and nephew who were avid Colts fans.... Waht is wrong with that. The "marginal" fan never invested in those tickets. I said that I paid for them.... We all decided we didn't want to support Irsay after his lies.....
Not mine.
Bye Blu.
Plans change. That`s how I live my life now. Let`s please move on...
VT's wife: I thought you were coming home at 5pm. What were you doing at the bar?
VT: Plans change. That's how I live my life.
VT's boss: Why are you not wearing a shirt to work?
VT: That's how I live my life now. Let's please move on.
So anyway, to try and bring this thread back to reality,
I don't know about you guys but I am beyond excited at the possibility of a Luck vs. RGIII Super Bowl sometime in the future. That would be without a doubt one of the biggest Super Bowls of all time. Hopefully it happens more than once.
I actually agree, and think there is a greater chance of that happening then some may realize now.
I think Luck is the better QB (now definitly, since he ran a pro offense in college) and depending on how both guys progress, it could be a very interesting scenario.
In the meantime, however, I am enjoying watching both young men develop.
In my dream world Kyle Shanny will be fired and we will get an OC who hates the tripple option and wishbone. Sadly, as long as dad is running the show here I doubt that happens *tear*
My feeling on this is that eventually RGIII will become good enough in a vertical passing game where he can command Shanahan (if he is still around) to let him run the show more on the field. Luck already has more control than RGIII, but a big part of that is the fact that Arians has already groomed Peyton and Roethlisberger and is a big fan of just tossing his young stud QB into the ocean and saying "Swim"
I expect them to be competitive but please don't ignore their finacial decisions either. They have been very prudent on aged players and their salary cap. Welker will be the next in line to get the boot IMO which is exactly what Grigson did with the players that were obviously declining (Brackett, Clark, Addai).
With the new CBA IRsay will have to spend 108 million regardless in 2013 so don't make him out to be the Chiefs who spent 40% of their salary cap in 2011. Irsay even now has spent more money than he has too when he could have easily not signed Mathis and Wayne to save money in the final year where he didn't have to spend 90% of the Colts cap.
Fact is Irsay and Grigson are trying to make this a balanced team by putting money on both sides of the ball and you can't make a balanced team in ONE YEAR.
Resign Manning and the Colts couldn't have kept the Vets you speak of but keep on hating.

The Pats have made 5 Super Bowls in 11 years with Brady. They will without question miss a beat when he retires, unless they strike some serious serious gold.
I believe I was talking about a cable news broadcast? But don't let that stop you....

I will be interested on how Garcon does in the long haul since he is getting paid a ton of money and so far he has one good game and a RG3 fumble recovery for a score. Hurt or not I bet no one expected Wayne to out shine Garcon this year.

Yes, the Patriots won 11 games without Brady. But they won 16 games the year prior.
Also, virtually all of those 11 wins were against pretty weak teams:
Chiefs (2-14 that year)
Jets (9-7)
49ers (7-9)
Broncos (8-8)
Rams (2-14)
Bills (7-9)
Dolphins (11-5)
Seahawks (4-12)
Raiders (5-11)
Cardinals (9-7)
Overall, that's a fairly weak batch of teams, though they did cream the Cardinals who ended up going to the Super Bowl. Their losses were against the Dolphins, Chargers, Colts, Jets, and Steeelrs. All but the Jets were playoff teams. All are teams that the Pats had plenty of success against with Brady. Yet they lost to them that season because they weren't an elite team without Brady. They were still a very solid team because of coaching, talent in other positions, and a backup quarterback who played well in the system. But most of their wins were against weak opponents and they lost to the teams who were elite that season, despite having success against those teams with Brady.
Brady is one of the greatest ever and they will miss him greatly when he retires. Sure he was fortunate to play for a great coach and organization, but he is a huge part of why they are what they are. I'm sure they will eventually be alright after he leaves, but I don't think they will duplicate the unprecedented run of success they've had.
I didn't say anything about being reliable. I was just asking if it ever happened..... But since you bring it up, I do think RGIII is a legend in the making if not already made....

Fear of losing mental faculties, and perhaps independence, is often considered the worst-case scenario of aging. For some older people it may trigger near panic when they experience an episode of natural forgetfulness. As we age, a large percentage of older adults will experience minor memory impairments and slower cognitive processing ability. We often use phrases that are negative and demeaning such as "I'm having a senior moment?" or we buy into the lie that "You can't teach an old dog new tricks".
There is great potential for harm to people when they believe the negative myths and stereotypes about aging and brain deterioration. As professionals, we know the importance of educating older people and their families regarding the evidence that intellectual debilitation is not inevitable as we age. Challenges to our intellect do not naturally result in deterioration of mental faculties.1
Did you know...
Intellectual wellness involves engagement in creative and stimulating mental activities, broadening our horizons, opening our minds, using available resources to learn and discovering the world around us.
Changes in the brain tend to be individual and are influenced by the inter-related nature of physical, psychosocial, cultural, socioeconomic, spiritual and environmental aspects. Experience with older adults teaches that the majority of people remain capable of learning, making judgments, thinking critically, reasoning, and living independently. Studies indicate that there are several positive aspects to the aging brain and, after two decades of research, indicate that "healthy older brains are often as good as or better than younger brains in a wide variety of tasks".2
Did you know about these positives aspects?
Professionals working with older adults need to be knowledgeable about common risks that lead to compromised cognition and may impact intellectual vitality.
Selected Risk Factors
Other risks involve personal and lifestyle choices such as smoking, lack of sufficient sleep, poor eating habits, and cultural and socioeconomic influences. Intellectual wellness is a critical component that influences overall quality of life. The aging brain and its intellectual capacity must be challenged or it may deteriorate. Use it, or lose it!
Professional assessment for intellectual wellness includes questions related to older adults' understanding of the realities of the aging brain, comprehensive evaluation of mental and physical status, psychosocial, spiritual and environmental aspects. To help older adults enhance their intellectual wellness, professionals need to provide suggestions such as the following:
Tips for Improving Brain Fitness

Turf Talk: Lightning Lochsong fondly remembered
11:12am Friday 30th May 2014
By Steve Carroll
11:12am Friday 30th May 2014
By Steve Carroll
SHE was the filly with lightning in her legs.
Lochsong, the super sprinter who was the best of her generation, died earlier this week after falling ill with colic. She was 26.
Renowned for her blistering speed, she was trained throughout her career by Ian Balding and shot to prominence during her four-year-old career when she recorded the treble of the Stewards' Cup, Portland Handicap and Ayr Gold Cup.
She would win 15 of her 27 starts and coop more than £600,000 in prize money.
But it was at York, in the summer of 1993, where she graduated to real stardom.
Balding, at first, wasn't convinced by his headstrong soon-to-be legend. She was difficult in training and was tough to handle unless she got everything her own way.
"I had an old hack called Quirk who was instrumental in her success," he told me in an earlier interview. "She wouldn't go anywhere at home without him. We would go down to this all-weather gallop (at Kingsclere) I would lead her on to it and away she would go, flat out to the top, and then she wouldn't move until Quirk had come up.
"She just fell in love with him and adored him and wouldn't go anywhere without him. She was very difficult - not easy to train - but she was some racehorse. She was absolutely amazing."
A rags to riches story, she began with victory in a Redcar maiden and went on to top the sport.
By the time she came to the Nunthorpe Stakes in 93, the first time she was taking on Group 1 company, Lochsong was five.
On board was a young Frankie Dettori, fresh from a high-profile split with Luca Cumani and with his days of Godolphin glory still in the future.
Balding was looking for a jockey to commit to Lochsong with Willie Carson, who had ridden her in the past, having prior duties.
In many ways, the Italian was perfect for her. His tactics were simple. Let her get on with it. Just steer.
With no-one to fight, Lochsong just ran - beating Paris House by a length and a half in a five furlong dash she controlled from the outset.
She was a 10-1 outsider.
"The Nunthorpe that day was the most amazingly emotional occasion that I have ever known on the racecourse," Balding added. "She just flew down there from start to finish. I was so incredibly excited and thrilled by it."
Adding the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp just a couple of months later, Lochsong returned for her sixth year in dominant fashion.
The Palace House Stakes, Temple Stakes and King's Stand Stakes - all fell to the remorseless partnership.
But not the Nunthorpe of 1994. Where her best moment had come 12 months earlier, here would be Lochsong's worst.
In front of packed York stands, the famously buzzy and brittle mare boiled over and erupted - taking Dettori with her for a ride.
"She was a difficult lady," Balding explained. "I said to Frankie 'for God's sake don't let her out of a canter'. We led her onto the track and as soon as I let go she plunged twice and then was gone.
"No one could hold her. I was worried about her running into the starting stalls. It was pretty horrible."
The image of Dettori being carted along, desperately trying to bring Lochsong to a stop, would lead to changes at York.
John Smith, the clerk of the course on Knavesmire from 1987 until 2002, changed the parades for sprint races in a bid to prevent such a fractious episode being repeated.
She did finally come to a halt, but her race had already been uselessly run. She took part, regardless, despite the trainer's view that it was a pointless exercise and it is perhaps testament to her stamina that she even led after a couple of furlongs.
Gassed out, though, she was swamped at halfway and Dettori let her roll in last.
She would have one more great day on the track, retaining the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp with a five length thrashing of Mistertopogigo but was retired to stud after finishing unplaced in the 1994 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs.
Lochsong spent her retirement in the surroundings of Littleton Stud, in Hampshire, which is the property of her owner Jeff Smith.
Stud manager David Bowe said on Tuesday: "Sadly she got a colic.
"She had been absolutely fine, the same old character. She was great to have about the place and she was a fantastic racemare.
"She was conceived here, foaled here and lived out her life here - she was part of the fabric and when her racing days were over she returned as one of the foundation mares of Littleton Stud.
"She had a great innings, and it's nice to see them happy and healthy to the end and she had that.
"She was a great personality and leaves a big hole, but hopefully we will have some of her progeny back here.
"Her last foal, Swan Song, is in training with Andrew Balding and we look forward to seeing him here one day."

The media often portrays the life of young investment banker as one where they are subject to constant verbal abuse and tirades. I've personally worked in more than a few industries and I must say you do take a lot of shit in an investment bank. And much of this has to do with stakes.
Sure you can say "it's all relative" and "people in many sectors take a lot shit". True. Very true. However, when the stakes include a $25 billion transaction that can make not only triple-digit millions for the bank but single or even double-digit millions for senior bankers who are responsible for the deal and sit just a few seats away from you, while also putting their jobs on the line, then something as small as a typo in an e-mail can trigger a torrent of abuse. Like it or not that's banking. Period.
Yet there are times when the underlying reason for shouting abuse is simply something you'd expect to see in a movie. Something from another time in history. Say days of Sparta.
The day Bruce, one of the Managing Directors, lost it and, with the might of his voice, reduced Alex, one of the German analysts, to the size of a pea was one of those unforgettable moments. Sadly unforgettable for Alex.
The victim
Alex was a young analyst who joined the team which covered large German corporates. A truly accomplished individual for his age, with top academic qualification and a list of notable achievements outside of his school life, he had one marked weakness: when he answered the phone he didn't sound like a banker. And the day that marked a turning point in poor Alex's banking life was on a day… [READ MORE…]

There are two threads over on the Real GM Bulls board pertaining to an elbow that Granger gave Andres Noccioni during Wednesday night's game.
One member even posted video of it, which I've uploaded to DailyMotion (because YouTube isn't working)...
So what do you think?
Knowing Nocioni's history, I'm willing to give Granger the benefit of the doubt and conclude that Andres was doing something to provoke it. Maybe it's wrong, but I kind of like this nasty streak Granger seems to be developing. A bit of a swagger is never a bad thing.

My comments are directed particularly to young people, although I hope they may be helpful to everyone.
Years ago when I served as a stake president, a man came to confess a transgression. His confession surprised me. He had been an active member of the Church for years. I wondered how a person with his experience could have committed the sin that he did. After some pondering, it came to me that this brother had never become truly converted. Despite his Church activity, the gospel had not penetrated his heart. It was only an external influence in his life. When he was in wholesome environments, he kept the commandments, but in a different environment, other influences might control his actions.
How can you become converted? How can you make the gospel of Jesus Christ not just an influence in your life but the controlling influence and, indeed, the very core of what you are? The ancient prophet Jeremiah spoke of the law of God, the gospel, being written in our hearts. He quotes the Lord speaking about us, His people in the latter days: "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." 1
Do you want this for yourself? I can tell you how that can happen, but it must be something you want. The gospel cannot be written in your heart unless your heart is open. Without a heartfelt desire, you can participate in sacrament meetings, classes, and Church activities and do the things I will tell you, but it won't make much difference. But if your heart is open and willing, like the heart of a child, 2 let me tell you what you can do to be converted.
As a first step, you must lay aside any feeling of pride that is so common in the world today. By this I mean the attitude that rejects the authority of God to rule in our lives. This attitude was described by the Lord to Joseph Smith when He said, "They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god." 3 You hear it expressed today in phrases such as "Do your own thing" or "Right and wrong depend on what I feel is right for me." That attitude is a rebellion against God, just as Lucifer rebelled against God in the premortal world. He rejected God's right to declare the truth and establish the law. 4 Satan wanted, and still wants, the power to declare arbitrarily what is right and wrong. Our beloved Creator does not force us to accept His authority, but willingly submitting to that authority is the first step in conversion.
Further, for the gospel to be written in your heart, you need to know what it is and grow to understand it more fully. That means you will study it. 5 When I say "study," I mean something more than reading. It is a good thing sometimes to read a book of scripture within a set period of time to get an overall sense of its message, but for conversion, you should care more about the amount of time you spend in the scriptures than about the amount you read in that time. I see you sometimes reading a few verses, stopping to ponder them, carefully reading the verses again, and as you think about what they mean, praying for understanding, asking questions in your mind, waiting for spiritual impressions, and writing down the impressions and insights that come so you can remember and learn more. Studying in this way, you may not read a lot of chapters or verses in a half hour, but you will be giving place in your heart for the word of God, and He will be speaking to you. Remember Alma's description of what it feels like: "It beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me." 6 You will know that the gospel is being written in your heart, that your conversion is happening, as the word of the Lord from His prophets, past and present, feels more and more delicious to your soul.
I mentioned praying as you study to understand the scriptures, but your prayers must not be limited to that. In the Book of Mormon, Amulek tells us we should pray about everything in our lives. He says, "Pour out your souls [to God] in your closets, and your secret places, and in your wilderness." 7 Your Heavenly Father wants you to pray about your hopes and fears, your friends and family, your school and work, and the needs of those around you. Most of all, you should pray to be filled with the love of Christ. This love is given to those who are true followers of Jesus Christ, who ask for it with all the energy of their heart. 8 This love is the fruit of the tree of life, 9 and tasting it is a major part of your conversion because once you have felt your Savior's love for you, even the smallest part, you will feel secure, and a love for Him and for your Heavenly Father will grow within you. In your heart you will want to do what these holy beings ask of you. Go often to your closet, your secret place, your wilderness. Thank God for your blessings; ask for His help; ask Him to bestow upon you the pure love of Christ. Sometimes fasting will help.
After Amulek talked about prayer, he spoke about something else that is an important element of your conversion—serving others. Otherwise, he said, "your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing." 10 In other words, to be converted, you must not only open your heart to a knowledge of the gospel and the love of God, you must practice the gospel law. You cannot fully understand or appreciate it unless you personally apply it in your life. Jesus said that He came to serve, not to be served. 11 So it must be with you. You must look outward and care about others. You can be compassionate; you can be friendly; you can share; you can help others in a hundred small ways. As you do, the gospel of Jesus Christ will become a part of you.
Let me mention one other thing. In ancient times when people wanted to worship the Lord and seek His blessings, they often brought a gift. For example, when they went to the temple, they brought a sacrifice to place on the altar. After His Atonement and Resurrection, the Savior said He would no longer accept burnt offerings of animals. The gift or sacrifice He will accept now is "a broken heart and a contrite spirit." 12 As you seek the blessing of conversion, you can offer the Lord the gift of your broken, or repentant, heart and your contrite, or obedient, spirit. In reality, it is the gift of yourself—what you are and what you are becoming.
Is there something in you or in your life that is impure or unworthy? When you get rid of it, that is a gift to the Savior. Is there a good habit or quality that is lacking in your life? When you adopt it and make it part of your character, you are giving a gift to the Lord. 13 Sometimes this is hard to do, but would your gifts of repentance and obedience be worthy gifts if they cost you nothing? 14 Don't be afraid of the effort required. And remember, you don't have to do it alone. Jesus Christ will help you make of yourself a worthy gift. His grace will make you clean, even holy. Eventually, you will become like Him, "perfect in Christ." 15
With conversion, you will wear a protective armor, "the whole armour of God," 16 and the words of Christ, which come by the Holy Spirit, "will tell you all things" you should do. 17
In 1992 two sister missionaries in Zagreb, Croatia, were returning to their apartment one evening. Their last teaching appointment had been some distance away, and it was getting dark. Several men on the trolley made crude comments and became rather menacing. Feeling threatened, the sisters got off the trolley at the next stop just as the doors closed so no one could follow them. Having avoided that problem, they realized they were in a place unknown to either of them. As they turned to look for help, they saw a woman. The missionaries explained that they were lost and asked the woman if she could direct them. She knew where they could find another trolley to take them home and invited them to follow her. On the way they had to pass a bar with patrons sitting along the sidewalk in the gathering darkness. These men also appeared threatening. Nevertheless, the two young women had the distinct impression that the men could not see them. They walked by, apparently invisible to those who might have had a mind to harm them. When the sisters and their guide reached the stop, the trolley they needed was just arriving. They turned to thank the woman, but she was nowhere to be seen. 18
These missionaries were furnished a guide and other blessings to protect them physically. As you become converted, you will have comparable protections to keep you from temptation and deliver you from evil. 19 Sometimes evil will not find you. Sometimes you will be protected when evil is made invisible to you. Even when you must confront it directly, you will do so with faith, not fear.
We have talked of desire, submissiveness to God, study, prayer, service, repentance, and obedience. From these, coupled with your worship and activity in Church, will come testimony and conversion. The gospel won't be just an influence in your life—it will be what you are. Plead with God in the name of Christ to write the gospel in your mind that you may have understanding and in your heart that you may love to do His will. 20 Pursue this blessing diligently and patiently, and you will receive it, for God "is gracious and merciful, … and of great kindness." 21 I so bear witness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I have a friend who keeps her watches and clocks set an hour ahead at all times. By doing so, this perpetually late creature of habit has convinced herself that she is always tardy, and when she does show up for appointments, she's on time or early.
Now of course, somewhere deep within her psyche she knows that her clocks and watches are wrong and that could give her incentive to dally more and being really, really late.
But she's used her imagination enough over the years that the con works, thereby saving her from embarrassment and reprimand from family and employer alike.
Chiefland's sewer plant personnel have listened to a salesman and come up with a way to cut their energy use, cut fuel use, and cut the amount of sludge the City Water Reclamation Plant produces.
If you read the story in another part of this newspaper, you thought it was a story about money and saving energy.
Really, the story is about building relationships and trust.
Randy Wilkerson said it was his working relationship with a sales rep from TSC-Jacobs Group, the company that supplies the city with much of its wastewater equipment, that led to the savings.
As I have interviewed interns and reporter candidates over the last few weeks, one resounding theme kept coming up when I tell them what I think is the best part of working for a small town paper: the interesting people you meet.
Of course there are the obligatory meetings that must be covered, the birth announcements and wedding news that need to be shared, but by far, the best thing for any reporter is getting out and meeting people who have done things that you only dream or have been places you've only read about.
I never thought my father and I had much in common despite my mother's ever-constant lament, "You're just like your daddy."
Back then I scoffed at the idea.
But then in 1993, my father died suddenly one week after his 62nd birthday and in the 15 years since, not a week has gone by that I don't somehow recall him, his words and his actions.
He wasn't an affectionate man. He grew up in an era and place where children were begat to work. He didn't know much about tenderness or bonding. His way of showing love was through providing and sacrificing so his family was secure.
Judging from the amount of traffic on I-75 this past weekend, motorists are oblivious to the fact that gasoline isthisclose to being $4 a gallon.
Or perhaps those motorists are like me.
They know that we are a nation that moves on four wheels-or 18-and to get from Point A to Point B, you have to get in a motorized vehicle and drive, whether you want to pay the price at the pump or not.
I am not at all the maternal type. I'm too selfish, too distant, too "suck it up and move on"-like to be called a nurturing pillar of motherhood.
And yet I have three children.
Like many of you, I grew up watching Donna Reed, Harriet Nelson and June Cleaver (in reruns, mind you) as they set the example for future generations what a woman's role was in the home.
When Gail Osteen told me last week that she had no history of any kind of cancer in any of her family, I was more than surprised.
I didn't know any such person existed, because it seems for as long as I can remember cancer has been a very real, and very unwelcome, facet of my life.
Do you remember that poster from the 70s that said "A friend is someone who knows everything about you and still likes you anyway"?
We're fortunate if we can find such a person in this life-someone who accepts you for who you are, doesn't try to change you and knows your deepest, darkest secrets and never passes judgment, loves you unconditionally and makes every moment you spend together an adventure.
I've really been blessed to find a friend like that in Denise Matthews.
For years we have pointed fingers at the residents of cities and counties for not being more proactive in local government.
Apathy is often blamed as the reason people don't get involved in what's happening in their communities.
While that may be true in part, I think another reason may be it's just too darn confusing for the average person who has to sit and sift and then leave wondering, "What happened in there?"
It's been a while since I covered a Chiefland Commission meeting. About 18 months, in fact.
I must be a real party animal. This past weekend I had about 60 beers, stayed up all night, caroused with total strangers, wore the same clothes for two days and crashed and burned immediately when I got home.
How can this be?
Well, I didn't drink 60 beers. Remember a few weeks ago when I said that missing one hour of sleep is equivalent to drinking two beers?
This past weekend I had more than my share without ever popping a tab.
It started innocently enough.

- BSO Case Number: PB13-03-1450
- PIO Number: 13-5-4
- Date: March 2 -3, 2013
- Time: overnight
- Place of Occurrence: 2412 S.E. 12 St., Pompano Beach
- Jurisdiction: Pompano Beach
- Robert Cournoyer, male, 45, Pompano Beach
- unidentified female
Description of Incident:
On a recent Saturday night, a man at an upscale Fort Lauderdale restaurant ran into an attractive woman he had met previously. She said her name was Crystal. The two chatted, and they went to his Pompano Beach house.
She made him a cocktail – a vodka drink that took her about a half hour to make. He took a sip while she drank directly from the bottle. The next thing he remembers, he was waking up the following afternoon. Crystal was gone, along with about $6,000 in cash and four high-end watches that he kept in a case in his bedroom. She even deleted her contact information from his cell phone. The watches - two Rolexes, one Cartier and one Paniere - are valued at $80,000 - $100,000.
Broward Sheriffs Office detectives believe the woman known as Crystal may have drugged 45-year-old Robert Cournoyer and stolen his property. BSO Detective John McMahon worked with the victim to create a composite sketch of Crystal, who may be Hispanic and in her late 20s. Detectives are investigating similar cases that may involve Crystal or other women.
Anyone with information about Crystal should contact Det. Ron Cusumano at (954) 786-4200 or report information anonymously at (954) 493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org. Crime Stoppers or Broward County will pay up to $1,000 for an anonymous tip that leads to an arrest.
Media note: A composite sketch is attached to this news release.

A very sappy New Year's Eve… but still fun
There's a long history of uniting big stars in a jam-packed ensemble cast. Sure, typically C-list celebrities met their fates in capsized ships and burning buildings, but there's something about the combined star power of multiple marquee names that are irresistible draws.
In New Year's Eve, the wattage is high: Robert De Niro, Zac Efron (pictured), Halle Berry, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank and Michelle Pfeiffer join more than a dozen of their Hollywood colleagues in this quasi-sequel to director Garry Marshall's previous celebfest, Valentine's Day. (By the time he gets to Cinco de Mayo, there's gonna be nobody left but Charo, Justin Bieber and Cheech Marin.)
Like VD, NYE involves multiple story lines that converge in some way or another by the end of the movie — in this case, culminating around the stroke of midnight. Predictable themes of fresh starts and the letdown of holidays populate the various love stories and there are moments of genuine emotion and heartfelt humor.
There's nothing blatantly gay about the film, but plenty of gay-by-association appeal thanks to LGBT faves Swank, Parker, Michele, Efron and too-hot-for-TV Josh Duhamel. Sofia Vergara, the buxom star of Modern Family, is a great foil to the increasingly unlikable Katherine Heigl, whose character never really clicks with the audience.
What's great about New Year's Eve is Marshall's way of leveling the playing field among his regular stars and mega-stars. Everybody gets equal billing, equal screen time, and for the most part, equally fun roles. That any holiday film delivers cloyingly sweet dramedy should be anticipated from the moment you plop a twenty down at the ticket window, but it sure would be nice to be caught off-guard with just a single moment that is completely organic and unexpected.
Alas, most of the stories' conclusions could be predicted by a 10-year-old, but there's such an earnestness and joy in the actors' performances paired with their gosh-darn eye twinkles and larger-than-life charisma that make this movie worth at least a Prosecco toast, if not a half-glass of real champagne.

Metaphors, modules and brain-scan pseudoscience

Kipnis helped by manager's vote of confidence
CLEVELAND -- Few could have blamed Terry Francona had he decided to move Jason Kipnis down in the order.
Kipnis has flirted with the Mendoza Line in recent weeks, and his two hits on Friday finally propelled him above the .200 mark. In Friday's walk-off win, Kipnis contributed a two-run triple, a two-out RBI bunt single and a game-tying RBI groundout, as the 26-year-old continued to flash signs that he is starting to come around at the plate. After his first-inning home run on Saturday, Kipnis has now collected at least one hit in nine of his last 12 contests.
"Over the last week, I think I've shown some signs of going in the right direction," Kipnis said. "I'm coming out of the funk I started the season in."
Kipnis directed the credit to his manager, who never wavered in his decision to pencil the second baseman near the top of his batting order. In 20 games, Kipnis batted in the No. 2 hole 13 times and hit third on seven occasions.
"It's always nice to have the support of your coach," Kipnis said. "We have a good relationship. I think we have a trust in each other, and the fact that he's stood by my side and had confidence and kept me where I am in the order so far, despite how I've been hitting, shows a lot and means a lot to me."

Breast Cancer
First mammogram
At what age should a woman consider getting her first mamogram?
The current recommendation is to get a first baseline mammogram at the age of 35. Subsequently the recommendation is to get annual mammograms from the age of 40. If one has a very strong family history, in particular if first- degree relatives (i.e. mother, sister) had breast cancer at a very young age, you may be advised to begin screening mammograms at an earlier age.

At Philly Auto Show, cars are acting like accessories for your smartphone
Do you remember your first car radio that had a tape or CD player? How about Internet radio? Not there yet? If you're interested, the Philadelphia Auto Show is featuring lots of new vehicles that put the online world in the dashboard.
All over the floor of the Philadelphia Auto Show, none of the car "radios" look like radios. Almost every car has a big display screen and most link to drivers' phones via Bluetooth to harness all the entertainment options smartphones offer. Matt Hardigree of Jalopnik.com says even inexpensive cars now come with high-tech electronics.
"You can go out and buy a Ford Fiesta now and it won't have a touch screen everything, but it will have a fully-integrated mobile system so you can use your smartphone keep it in your pocket and use all the controls on the dash and on the steering wheel," said Hardigree.
One of the newest systems is being offered for 2014 in Chevrolet and GMC truck prototypes being displayed at the show. These were previously only available for the Buick and Cadillac lines. Roger McCormick, marketing director for GMC, says the touch screen system is the beginning of the end of the traditional in-dash radio.
"People think of it in terms of cars and crossovers, but that same expectation about easy to use and very technologically advanced, in the sense that you have access to your phone list, you have access to your radio and music preferences," said McCormick. "That expectation is there for the pick-up customer just like it is for the rest of the industry and rest of the market."
McCormick says the new truck is billed as a portable office, with multiple USB ports, a standard home power outlet to plug in a laptop, and even a card reader to view pictures. The wide center console can just as easily handle traditional file folders as a tablet computer.
"A pickup buyer has very specific needs that are very specific to a pickup," he said. "However, when they get into a pickup they want to have same kind of comfort, the same kind of technology and access to all of their media and their phones. It might even be more important to some pickup consumers than the general market."
He says for some contractors, this mobile office might be their only office.
Of course, all these gadgets can draw your eyes off the road. Engineering professor Dennis Silage of Temple University believes the distractions could become too great once reliable mobile TV arrives.
"Especially when we have pedestrians and other obstacles to worry about bicyclists in the city for example," said Silage. "I really think although we can do this technologically it becomes a question of 'Is this really prudent?' I would hate to think someone would get into an accident watching Oprah."
Mark Hardigree of Jalopnik.com says voice command and hands free technology are helping cut down on the distractions. Plus, carmakers are relocating screens to places where they can be checked more safely, including right next to the speedometer.
"At the Detroit Auto Show, Hyundai had a system where instead of having to reach down and touch a button or move a knob, you will just move your hand in the middle of the air to adjust the volume, and the system will adjust it accordingly so you don't have to take your eyes off the road," said Hardigree.
If self-driven cars become an option, there would be no limit to behind the wheel entertainment opportunities. Hardigree says he thinks at first it would be limited to when you are stuck in heavy, slow traffic, but one day a self-driving automobile isn't out of the question.

The New School
NSSR Psych Ferenczi Center with IPSS presents Truth and Consequences in Psychoanalytic Treatment: The Analyst's Intimate Experience and the Patient's Mind
In this panel Jill Gentile and Jonathan
Slavin will undertake an assessment of some of the fundamental theoretical and
clinical issues raised in Jody Davies' now classic paper, "Love in the
Afternoon," as reflected in the evolution of psychoanalytic issues in the
subsequent nearly two decades.
Davies' original paper broke new ground
about the nature of the developmental process as seen
through the lens of relational psychoanalysis. Her clinical example raised
profound and controversial questions that continue to be debated. Gentile and
Slavin, in their own clinical and theoretical papers, build upon this work by
exploring psychoanalysis as a dialogue of embodied desire, as a potential space
for the reinjury or repair of the patient's psychic integrity, and as an
arena for negotiating fantasy and reality - and truthfulness -
especially in situations of conflict and impasse. Gentile and Slavin will
be joined by a distinguished panel in exploring the boundary-setting, wounding,
healing, and liberating function of truthfulness.
We invite participants to join our
dialogue as we reflect and speak about that which is often silenced in our
Wollman Hall, Eugene Lang Building, 65 West 11th Street, 5th floor (enter at 66 West 12th Street)
Conference fee $80; Candidates $60 (checks or cash accepted). Please RSVP to IPSS by emailing email@example.com or calling 212.489.1534.

Castro plays in 500th game with Cubs
CHICAGO -- Sunday was Starlin Castro's 500th Major League game since he made his debut May 7, 2010, in Cincinnati. The Cubs' shortstop has 589 hits, seventh-most among players in their first 500 games with the Cubs.
Castro, 23, has plenty to work on.
"I think the offensive part -- the slugging percentage, the OPS -- that needs to get more on a consistent basis, and driving the baseball and having consistent games of driving the ball hard," manager Dale Sveum said.
Castro is batting .261, but entered Sunday's game 2-for-17 in his last four games, and batted .252 in May. He batted .304 in May 2012; .287 in May 2011; and .310 in May 2010.
"The biggest thing is, he'll swing out of the zone, and we all know that, but he's not doing anything with drivable pitches now," Sveum said.
In a perfect world, Sveum said, Castro would hit lower in the order to give him time to improve his OPS.

Osteonecroses in Pediatric Patients With ALL (OPAL)

- How to Read a Study Record
Nowadays approximately 80% of children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) can be cured and become long-term survivors. Avascular osteonecroses (ON) appear as serious side-effect of antileukaemic treatment. Frequently ON are first diagnosed at higher and than irreversible stages (ARCO III, IV). At these advanced stages curative treatment options are not available. Hence ON are associated with considerable morbidity concerning pain and immobility and go along with long-term impairment of quality of life. Therefore early diagnosis of ON in the follow-up of children and young adults with ALL or LBL is a pressing object.
Within the prospective multicentric observational OPAL-trial patients at risk (aged 10 years or older) treated according to the clinical trials ALL-BFM(Berlin-Frankfurt-Muenster Study Group), COALL or NHL (Non Hodgkin Lymphoma)-BFM in Germany should be examined with regard to the development of ON. By using a treatment associated, risk orientated assessment and examination incidence, symptoms and the clinical course of ON are investigated. The validity of MRI screening in the early diagnosis of ON in children and young adults is analysed.
Systematical investigation of patients under antileukaemic treatment is intended to contribute to risk adapted diagnostic strategies and to serve as data base for the subsequent evaluation of preventive and interventional approaches for the treatment of ON. Long-term objective is the reduction of ON-associated morbidity.

This important estate in Paso Robles, a joint venture between the Perrin family of Châteauneuf du Pape and their long-time importer, Robert Haas, planted its vineyards in the 1990s with clonal selections taken from the southern Rhone Valley. The organically farmed, 120 acre plot contains all the usual suspects: Mourvedre, Syrah, and Grenache, plus Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier. But the Rhone similarities don't stop there, winemaker Neil Collins blends varietals instead of bottling them individually -- a la Châteauneuf -- to achieve more complex and better balanced wines. The top tier red and white wines are even named Espirit de Beaucastel, after the Perrin family estate. Don't be fooled, though, these wines still possess plenty of originality. They offer the breadth, complexity of soil character, classic dryness and suavity of the best French wines while delivering the sweetness of fruit made possible only by California sunshine.
It is remarkable that an industry essentially less than a half-century old could capture the attention of the American wine-buying public to the degree that California has. Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in a benign climate featuring endless sunshine, very warm summer days, and generally dry harvests, and wonderfully fruity, full, and satisfying, and rarely too austere or tannic to be enjoyed from day one.
California is blessed with an extraordinary range of soils and microclimates, allowing for the successful cultivation of many varieties. In at least three out of four years, the best sites produce healthy, ripe fruits that are the envy of European producers in more marginal climates. The other reason Americans buy so much California wine is that California is the home team. Clearly, a high percentage of domestic wine drinkers are more comfortable buying American wines (and not just wines of California) than imports. Then, too, foreign bottles are generally identified by place name, rather than by the more familiar varieties that American wine drinkers have come to know and enjoy.
Moreover, in much of North America, outside the top 15 or 20 largest metropolitan markets, consumers have limited access to imported wines even if they wanted to buy them.
For many, Napa Valley is California wine, and Cabernet is king in Napa Valley. Meanwhile, the Burgundy varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have gravitated to cooler areas, generally closer to the Pacific, such as the western stretches of Sonoma County, the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, and the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez valleys within Santa Barbara County. Syrah vines have yielded interesting wines in a range of styles all over the state, in regions as disparate as Mendocino County, the Sonoma coast, Carneros, Paso Robles, and Santa Maria Valley. Very good Zinfandel similarly comes from multiple growing areas, although to date the age-of-vines variable has been almost as important as geography. Zinfandel, though its roots are in Europe, is a true California original and the only California wine imitated abroad. It's also a variety of which there are still significant plantings of very old vines, in some cases dating back to the end of the 19th century.
2007 had 26 regions scored 95 or above. Chateauneuf de Pape (Southern Rhône) got the highest score, with a 98.
