Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been a subject of controversy for many years. Medical authorities were once quite skeptical regarding whether it even existed. However, in 1988, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officially recognized CFS. Today, CFS is defined essentially as follows: Unexplained, persistent, or relapsing fatigue with a definite beginning; it is not the result of exertion; it is not relieved by rest; and it results in significant reduction of activities.
In addition, at least four of the following symptoms persist or recur for 6 or more consecutive months of the illness:
- Impairment in short-term memory or concentration
- Sore throat
- Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpits
- Muscle pain
- Pain in many joints, without redness or swelling
- Headache of new pattern or severity
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Malaise following exercise, that lasts for more than 24 hours
Frequently, symptoms of CFS follow a viral infection; some individuals with CFS describe their symptoms as a flu that never goes away.
The cause (or causes) of CFS remains unknown. Because its symptoms somewhat resemble those of mononucleosis (caused by the Epstein-Barr virus), for a time the disease was called chronic Epstein-Barr syndrome. However, further investigation disclosed that evidence of past or current Epstein-Barr infection is no more common in individuals with CFS than in the general population. Nonetheless, this erroneous and misleading term still crops up in literature on CFS.
Other syndromes with a similar pattern of symptoms to CFS include fibromyalgia , multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), and food allergies ; some consider these conditions to be closely related to each other, but there is no real evidence to support this hypothesis.
There is no dramatically effective treatment for CFS. Antidepressants (such as Prozac and Zoloft) may improve energy and mood; older antidepressants (such as amitriptyline) may improve sleep; antihistamines and decongestants can help allergic symptoms that frequently occur in CFS; and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen and naproxen) may help pain.
Other approaches to CFS that have been tried include magnesium injections, 1-3 corticosteroid treatment, 4-9 and a graded (incremental) exercise program either alone or with the antidepressant fluoxetine. 10-13,32 A randomized study involving 641 people with CFS found that those who participated in a graded exercise program had less fatigue and improved functioning compared to those who received two common forms of treatment (specialized medical care or adaptive pacing therapy). 35
For a time, researchers expressed some excitement over initial findings that deliberately raising blood pressure might help individuals with CFS. However, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 25 people given a 6-week course of fludrocortisone and increased dietary sodium to raise blood pressure found no improvement in CFS symptoms. 14
One study performed in Hong Kong provides weak evidence that acupuncture might be helpful for chronic fatigue syndrome. 34 Further research included a single-blind study of 127 people with CFS compared acupuncture to sham acupuncture. Acupuncture was associated with improvements in physical and mental fatigue, and physical function. It is difficult to determine how successful acupuncture was because of the studies' limitations. 36
Relaxation therapies (guided imagery or visualization, muscle relaxation, autogenic training, and applied relaxation) were shown to have limited evidence of efficacy in a review of 13 randomized trials. The trials included 738 adults with CFS or fibromyalgia. 37
Proposed Natural Treatments
There are some promising natural treatments for CFS, but the scientific evidence for them is not yet strong.
Essential Fatty Acids
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 63 people were given either a combination of essential fatty acids containing evening primrose oil (a source of GLA ) and fish oil , or liquid paraffin placebo over a 3-month period. 15 At 1 and 3 months, participants in the treatment group reported significant improvement in CFS symptoms as compared to the placebo group. The researchers also found that at the beginning of the study many participants had abnormal essential fatty acid levels, and these improved with treatment.
However, in 1999, researchers tried to replicate this study with 50 other people, using more precise means of measuring CFS symptoms. 16 The results showed no difference between individuals given essential fatty acids and those given placebo (sunflower oil). These researchers also found no difference in fatty acid levels between individuals with CFS and individuals without CFS who served as controls.
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH)
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is a naturally occurring chemical that plays a significant role in cellular energy production. NADH supplements have been tried in hopes they might improve energy levels in athletes and in individuals with chronic fatigue.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial that followed 26 people given 10 mg of NADH for a 4-week period showed some improvement in symptoms during NADH treatment as compared to the period of placebo treatment (31% versus 8%). 17 However, larger studies will have to be performed to actually prove a benefit with this supplement.
Carnitine is a substance the body uses to convert fatty acids to energy. Early studies reported decreased carnitine levels in people with CFS. 18 Based on these, an unblinded crossover trial (8 weeks with each treatment, and a 2-week "washout" period in between) enrolled 30 individuals with CFS to evaluate the potential benefits of carnitine supplements. 19 The results suggest potential benefit with this supplement.
However, this study was severely flawed. One problem was that, rather than using a placebo group for comparison purposes, researchers chose to investigate the antiviral drug amantadine. This drug has no proven efficacy in CFS, and it caused so many side effects that more than half of the participants dropped out during the period they were taking amantadine. This high dropout rate makes statistical interpretation of the results unreliable. In addition, the lack of blinding in the study also impairs the trustworthiness of the results.
Other Herbs and Supplements
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study available only in the form of a press release (at the time of this writing) reportedly found dark chocolate helpful for CFS. 33
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is part of a comprehensive and unique approach to healing developed over many centuries in Asia. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 29 people suggests that the use of an herbal formula originating in this system may be helpful for CFS. 27
A test tube study of echinacea and Panax ginseng found that both increased cellular immune function in cells taken from people with CFS. 20 However, many herbs and supplements can cause measurable changes in immune function, and such observations do not prove that there will be an actual benefit in people with the disease.
Both beta-carotene and DHEA have been suggested as treatments for CFS, but the evidence that they work remains extremely preliminary at best. 21,22,23
Based on the theory mentioned above that CFS might be related to low blood pressure, the herb licorice has been recommended for CFS by some herbalists. Licorice raises blood pressure (and causes other potentially harmful effects) when taken in high doses for a long time. However, there is no evidence that it works for CFS, and other treatments to raise blood pressure have proven ineffective for CFS. 24
Although some authorities have suggested that CFS might be caused by deficiencies of multiple vitamins and minerals, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 42 people found no significant improvement in CFS symptoms when a vitamin-mineral supplement was given four times daily after meals for 3 months. 25 Another trial failed to find benefit with a multivitamin/mineral supplement as well. 26
A fairly substantial (96-participant) double-blind, placebo-controlled study failed to find Eleutherococcus senticosus ("Siberian ginseng") helpful for people with CFS. 28 Over the 2-month study period, both eleutherococcus and placebo reduced fatigue symptoms, but there was no statistically significant difference. (The researchers managed to find some benefit by resorting to statistically questionable after-the-fact procedures.)
Another study failed to find melatonin helpful for CFS. 29
A special bran extract marketed for enhancing immunity failed to prove more effective than placebo for CFS symptoms (although placebo was quite effective). 31
People with CFS may at times attribute their symptoms to chemical exposures, thereby relating chronic fatigue syndrome to another loosely defined condition known as multiple chemical sensitivities, or MCS. One study evaluated people with chronic fatigue syndrome who believed that certain chemical triggers affected their mental function, causing mental sluggishness and confusion. 30 The results showed decreased mental function on testing following exposure to supposed chemical triggers; however, the decrease was the same whether the actual chemical or a substitute placebo was used. In other words, it was the belief that a substance causes harm, rather than actual harm caused by the substance, that produced the symptoms.

Windsor greenhouses offer a perfect combination of elegance, strength, safety and features not found in other greenhouses, along with an ideal environment for gardeners to grow all year round. These greenhouses are available in 10mm GrowLux UV2 twin-wall polycarbonate OR 4mm toughened glass. Boasting a seriously heavy 1.8-3.0mm box-section frame, this greenhouse will stand up to anything you throw at it.
The launch of the Windsor range promises to breathe fresh air into a marketplace that hasn't yet seen a real quality 10mm polycarbonate greenhouse. Suddenly here is a greenhouse designed to be different – emphasising strength and quality, employing new glazing techniques, incorporating new standards of ventilation and with a host of innovative features – and at low, wholesale direct prices. This approach has resulted in the following model choices-
The 'Windsor Royale' Range 3.7m wide OR The 'Windsor Junior' Range 3.0m wide – with a choice of 2 different widths, both offering a super strong box section frame with the same sorts of features found on elite European glasshouses - all in an economical fully automated package, aimed at bringing endless benefits to the largest possible gardening audience.
The frame of our Windsor Series greenhouse was first designed and engineered as a glasshouse and this is a huge advantage. We have seen over a tonne of glass held within the frame of these greenhouses, that's impressive! You will find all glazing held to the framework using our exclusive UPVC bar-capping. This is by far the most advanced method worldwide currently. In contrast to other greenhouse which use slotted channels to slide the panels into, the Windsor system actually locks the glazing in place along its entire length. Each pane of glass/polycarbonate becomes an integral part of the strength of the whole frame. Using this method, the glazing cannot be blown or sucked out of the frame, pushing on the glass/poly only locks the glazing strips more tightly into the frame.
You will not find a more wind resistant greenhouse on the AU market than the Windsor Series. We use more alumimiun in our frames than anyone else and all our panels widths are kept to a maximum of 700mm.
We use a lot of very heavy 3mm thick "T" section aluminium profiles in both our greenhouses and staging. Being heavy it is costly but it is enormously strong and adds significantly to the overall strength of the Windsor greenhouse. Every Windsor greenhouse includes 3 heavy duty "T section (3mm thick!) braces on every roof bay - 2 at the eaves and a longer one at the ridge. In addition to this we use the same "T" section in our Hanging Basket Rails - two sections that run the whole length of each greenhouse. Not only are they there to increase the strength of the whole roof, preventing any tendency for the bays to spread, but they are so strong that you can hang numerous heavy baskets from them. Normally you wouldn't want to subject a greenhouse roof to any extra load but we are so confident of the Windsors strength, we include this really useful feature as standard. This will save vast amounts of space on your staging. The rails themselves are very strong, being made from the same heavy duty "T" section aluminium.
Why are Grow-Fresh Greenhouses Windsor Series Different From The Competitors 10mm Greenhouses? And Far Superior? The Windsor Series is miles out front in a league of its own, incorporating box-section profiles of up to 3mm thick and not using any cheap shortcuts such as click system joining and plastic components seen on our competitors 10mm greenhouses. The majority of our frames on the Windsor greenhouses are 3mm thick (even the box sections!) with the thinnest still being a chunky 1.8mm!
Base/Foundation Options? Don't want to go to the trouble and/or expense of laying a full concrete slab foundation or timber perimeter? No problem! The optional incredibly strong full box-section base plinth is designed for exactly this situation. With other 10mm greenhouses on the AU market, you have no other option but to sit the greenhouse on a hardstanding foundation but this is not the case with a Windsor. We give you both options, either the low level threshold (provided) or the choice to upgrade to the full box-section aluminium base plinth with our exceptionally strong ground anchors. Where you are siting the Windsor greenhouse straight onto the ground, you would dig a hole under each anchor before filling the hole with rapid set concrete, easy!
Windsor Series Greenhouses...Built to satisfy the most demanding and discerning of gardeners - still the best, for those who want the very best!
Our Windsor Series Greenhouses are suitable for all properties including open exposed areas/acreage and very high wind areas.

One just never knows what mayhem will erupt when the Redskins meet the Bears. Anything can happen ... um, did we mention that these Redskins and Bears are 12 years old? Proving that the ghost of Woody Hayes does indeed roam the earth looking for bodies to possess, an assistant youth football coach in Stockton, Calif., has been arrested for rushing onto the field during a game and tackling an opposing player. You might have seen the footage of this, but it's still awesome.
Cory Petero, 36, of Riverbank, turned himself in Saturday night following what witnesses described as a late hit that turned into a brawl, with parents and children from both teams fighting on the field for about 20 minutes.
We are at this moment enjoying video of the event, which can be found accompanying the link. We reccommend playing the Our Gang theme in the background, which makes it funnier. By the way, Snoop Dogg has never tackled a youth football player that we know of, but we find the photo amusing nonetheless.

They Named it Air for a Reason
The Dainese Wave Air back protector takes protection, ergonomic comfort, and ventilation to the next level. Unlike most Level 1 protectors, the Dainese Wave Air protector is EN 1621-2 / 2003 certified; it complies with strictest regulation for back protectors in Europe. Superior protection, superior temperature regulation, and superior comfort are all standard benefits with the Dainese Wave Air. Dainese designed the Wave Air with input from racing champions and it shows.
Temperature Regulation, Ergonomic Design, Level 2 Protection
The Level 2 protection provided by your Dainese Wave Air back protector begins at the top of your shoulder blades and extends to your tailbone. The rugged polypropylene shell distributes the force of impact and the aluminum honeycomb inner core structure works with the patented Astrosorb material to absorb and distribute impact force. The Wave Air is lined with a thermoformed polyurethane foam that provides an additional layer of protection and comfort.
Your riding comfort is guaranteed due to the careful selection of materials and the ergonomic design incorporated into this back protector. The external structure is perforated for airflow. Additionally, the protector is lined in a breathable mesh material; and two layers of air-gap jersey are used to line the lumbar strip and braces. This provides maximum airflow and wicking to keep you cool and dry not matter how heated the competition.
No matter your body style or riding posture, the Dainese Wave Air is completely adjustable to conform to your needs. The lumbar band features two adjustments, for maximum fit and comfort. The lumbar joint gives you full lateral movement while ensuring that the protector stays in the proper position. The shoulder braces are completely adjustable and removable as well.
Two part sizing ensures you get the perfect fit for maximum comfort and protection. The size is first based on waist to shoulder length and then the waist circumference.
Waist to Shoulder Length

So there's this thing people do in the game that they find really funny. Maybe I'm an old lady who yells at kids on her lawn, maybe I have no sense of humor, maybe I'm a freak but I don't get it.
Here's how it went. Since transferring to a new server, I've forced myself to get over my hangups about pugging. Being the new recruit to a guild that's more advanced than me, the only way I'm going to get better without annoying everyone is by pugging the daily heroic and any 10 man ToCs/Onys I can find. The server has a lot of good guilds and pugging seems to be less of a big deal than it was a Moonrunner. However, being brand new to the server, I can't rely on knowing other guilds' reputations to choose who I'll pug with. I hop into LFG and pray.
After desperately trying to find a ToC 10 group for an hour, I finally see the magic words: LF healer ToC 10, need priest or pally. Awesome! I whisper my stats and I'm in. Then we die. I look at my tank. Not much other than Naxx gear, but no one else knows this. He's going to die every time I have to move and I'm going to be blamed. Crap. Someone claims they'd never seen the fight before. Oh boy. I have 2 hours and all I need are 6 badges, surely we can get Northrend Beasts and Jaraxxus down eventually. We die a few more times, but it seems we can do it. I stick around.
They're joking around on vent, they all seem to know each other very well. Obviously they're playing their alts, just relaxing a bit in the evening. All I need are badges, I have 2 hours, I can do this. Northrend Beasts go down. We cheer. I force myself out of my "just want to get this instance over with" and begin to enjoy the company of my pug. Jaraxxus goes down. Onto Faction Champs. They explain it for 15 minutes. I don't bother renewing my flask, I alt tab out and read some blogs. We easily one shot Faction Champs. They're amazed. I tell them about dispelling being the key to healing the fight. They gasp at my 113 dispells. I secrectly thank my new guild and Maintankadin for teaching me this a few days ago. Twins go down (no not like that, stop it people). Onto Anub.
I've alt tabbed out at this point. I come back to see myself dead. Right. I've heard of pugs doing this and someone tried it in my old guild once (he's probably still wishing he hadn't), but I didn't expect people to actually still do that. Apparently it's REALLY funny to put waterwalk/path of frost/other on people when the floor breaks. This group obviously think it's HILARIOUS that about 4 of us died to path of frost. Right when I thought I was starting to like this group of people, they're laughing so hard they can barely speak.
And I'm trying to figure out where the amusement is.
Then one of the guys in the group, another pug person, not from the guild running the pug, talks about how he used to Water Walk people on Lurker so they'd get hit by the spout. They find that really funny too.
I don't get it.
I'm all for killing the occasional warlock. But wasting everyone's time, risking a wipe (in the Lurker story) and giving people 10g repair bills for no good reason? I really can't find the funny in that. Ok, maybe the first time someone thought to put up path of frost when falling down to Anub, it was sort of funny. But after ToC has been around for months and you currently have impatient guests in your group? Riiiiiiight.
I bit my tongue, made them rez me and won a new mace when we downed Anub. I thanked them for the group and even added the better players to my friends list.
But I still don't see what's funny about killing people with path of frost. Have I lost my humanity?

"The second Pierce Junction well created a new mantra for Cullen. Hit the flanks of the old abandoned salt domes, and drill deeper. If he didn't find oil, drill deeper still. Many of his field hands, a number of whom would work with Cullen for the next thirty years, could imitate his laconic instructions in their sleep: "Boys, let's go a little deeper." His longtime operations manager, Lynn Meador, once said, "When they start to lower Mr. Cullen into a grave, I'll bet he'll sit up and say, "Boys, dig her a couple of feet deeper."
- The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes
JS Comment:
Hugh Roy Cullen, one of the original Texas Oilmen, died in the 1950s with a fortune estimated at $200 to $300 million — enough to make him a billionaire in today's terms.
Cullen's mantra, "drill deeper," was used to find oil in places others had abandoned or overlooked. The "drill deeper" mindset can be good advice for struggling traders who feel unsatisfied with their results. Flitting from one approach to another is the equivalent of "drilling shallow" — leaving dry wells strewn across the landscape, none of them deep enough to hit paydirt.
"Drill deeper" also applies in seeking to attain mastery of a craft. The effort required to master simple competitive endeavors, let alone more complex ones such as trading, is usually far greater — and the well far deeper — than the average person anticipates. (Or, as Jack Kerouc put it: "You drive and drive and you're still in Texas tomorrow night!")

TapChamp http://tapchamp.com
We are a social game studio looking to create real-time fantasy sports games for mobile/social platforms. What does that mean?
For the first time, you can play a game while watching the game. We want sports fans to have a new way to enjoy watching sports and let them compete against friends and the greater TapChamp community to see who is best!
We stand for creating social, fun, and engaging game experiences around sports.
We want this game to be enjoyed by all sports fans, including casual sports fans. Ideal target demo is someone 18-29 who uses social networks and likes to watch live games - we don't want this brand to only focus on hard-core sports fans.
Just like the brand name TapChamp is a cute spin on someone tapping their phone to compete, we want to make sure the logo projects a fun and playful image - something that communicates a champion. The logo should be able to be paired with different sports (i.e TapChamp Baseball, TapChamp Football, etc) so that we have a consistent brand experience that crosses all sports. It's important that the logo is visuallly distinctive at a quick glance and is not overly intricate in detail since it will need to be noticeable as a small icon (57x57) on an iPhone screen. We want to make sure this brand can work not only as an iPhone icon, but also well suited for a website and in the iPhone game as well. Something that could be stenciled or colored in would probably give some more flexibility as well.
Please look at http://TapChamp.com to see the current welcome page...there are some design elements that the logo should be able to mesh with. We do not have any requirements on what font or letter casing - try to play around with that and show us what you think would be best.
You do not need to use the current banner logo as direction...we would prefer that you have freedom to be creative and most importantly FUN!!

Eastern Conference Quarterfinals – Game Five

James Carville and Ari Fleischer debate both campaigns' dueling ads about Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: 2012 Election • Mitt Romney • President Barack Obama • Raw Politics
Anderson's attempt to put the President down for taking money from a source and then criticizing that source misses the point that a politician should NOT be bought by a supporter and the President is entirely correct to accept a donation and feel free to correct a wrong done by that donor. Additionally, this is not about putting down an industry, the President clarified that venture capitalism is not the evil, the concept of running the country based on expertise in that area is ludicrous. The United States Government is not a profit making entity and it's President is charged with maintaining and/or creating what is fair and lawful for its citizens. Mitt's record in Mass. left them at 47th in the nation – his method of creating a new company employing thousands while destroying a company unemploying thousands doesn't work for a populace regardless of the dollars made and Bain's heartless habit of making millions and leaving employees helpless does not bode well for the country – what would it have taken to make 10 Million and give back 1 million for pensions? At what point is a check placed on greed and if that is his nature what would he do as leader of the free world? At what price would he sell us (or our resources or our military . . .?)
Thank you James Carville!!!!! You speak so eloquently for the Democrats, I was enlightened to see you tonight debating with Ari Fleisher on AC360, Ari Fleisher, George Bush, and Dick Cheney destroyed this country when they had the keys to the White House, it is about time someone told Ari that tonight, he opens his mouth and spouts all the same garbage we heard from him before, he speaks over people, interrupts when someone is speaking, it was time someone told him that. Thank you for speaking up for us. Please keep telling them the truth every chance you get!
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Zen Counting
From Teampedia
ObjectivesIcebreakers/Warmups | Communication | Circle Games |
Group SizeMedium
Set Up
Have the group count from one to ten. The larger the group, the harder this is and the longer it can take. Start by giving them instructions and letting them ask questions, but don't allow them to plan any strategy (e.g. there should be no designated order). The rules:
- Only one person can talk at a time; if two people speak at once, the group must start over.
- No one person can say two consecutive numbers.
- No gestures allowed
If they become good at it, have them try with their eyes closed.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Hospital Refused to Accommodate Nurse's Disability, Refused to Reassign, Then Terminated Her, Federal Agency Charged
TAMPA, Fla. - Saint Joseph's Hospital, part of the BayCare Health System, the second-largest private employer in the Tampa Bay area, violated federal anti-discrimination law when it refused to accommodate a nurse's request for a reasonable accommodation based on a disability, refused to reassign her to a vacant position for which she was qualified and then fired her, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed October 23, 2013.
According to the EEOC's suit, a veteran nurse, who worked in the hospital's psychiatric department for approximately 21 years, had been using a walking cane without incident for about two years when the hospital decided that she could no longer use it because, it said, the cane was unsafe and could be used as a weapon. A hospital official told her that, if she wanted to continue working, she would have to compete for a new position within the BayCare Health System with all other non-disabled applicants. The hospital failed its legal obligation to engage in the interactive process to determine a reasonable accommodation that would allow her to continue working in the Psychiatric Department. The hospital also failed to reassign her to vacant positions outside of the department for which she was qualified, and then terminated her within 30 days of revoking her use of the cane, when she was not hired for an advertised position.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits disability discrimination and requires employers provide reasonable accommodations to employees' and applicants' disabilities as long as it causes no undue hardship. The EEOC filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Civil Action No.: 8:13-CV-2723-T-30TGW) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency seeks injunctive relief to prevent any further discriminatory practices, as well as back pay and compensatory and punitive damages.
"Employers are required by federal law to make reasonable accommodations for their employees' disabilities where they pose no undue hardship on the employer, including reassigning employees to vacant positions for which they are qualified," said Robert Weisberg, Regional Attorney for the EEOC's Miami District Office.
Miami District Director Malcolm Medley added, "Investigating allegations of disability discrimination is one of the enforcement priorities for this agency. The EEOC is committed to enforcing the rights of qualified employees with disabilities and will enforce the law against employers who fail to properly engage in the interactive process."
The Miami District Office's jurisdiction includes Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

Watering the Tulips
February 17, 2016
"The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them"– Hebrews 7:23-25
The writer of Hebrews spends much time discussing the priesthood of Jesus and how much better it is than the former priesthood. The passage before us is crucial in such a study.
No matter how well intentioned an Old Testament priest was, he was "prevented by death from continuing in office". Therefore, he was unable to be a permanent priest. He may very well have been willing to continue eternally as a mediator between God and men. Nonetheless, his willingness didn't equate to ability. Priest after priest died and were replaced. On this point alone, the priesthood could never be fully perfected. The system was good. The servants were inadequate.
Enter Jesus. His priesthood replaced theirs. Unlike them, He is "a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalms 110:4; Hebrews 7:17). In great contrast to the priests of the old covenant, Jesus walked out of the grave three days after being buried and showed Himself victorious over it. Death has no hold on Him. He is "exalted at the right hand of God" even today (Acts 2:33).
"Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him". Jesus is the only way into fellowship with the Father. Remember His words, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Only through the greatest priest ever can men approach God. The duty of a priest was to build a bridge between God and man. Yet, no other priest was able to do this except Jesus Christ. As long as the Old Testament priests served, the temple curtain remained in place, which made access to God impossible. When Jesus died, "the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom" (Matthew 27:51).
Not only did Jesus pave the way to God through His sacrifice for our sins, but also He continues making intercession for us. He has saved us "to the uttermost"! It's not that we are somehow saved by the skin of our teeth. "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us" (Romans 8:37). Jesus (being the perfect, permanent priest) saves entirely and eternally. If He stands between you and God, you are completely saved. Because of this, the believer is said to now have laid hold of eternal life (John 3:36).
Are you seeking fellowship with God through some other means than Jesus today? Are you hoping to get there by your good works? It's past time that you forsake such a hopeless cause and look to the only One that makes eternal fellowship with God a certainty. Jesus has built a bridge between God and man. He is the Bridge. Our prayer is that God grants you faith to believe this truth today.

First Transit's Predictive Maintenance Analytics improves fleet reliability, on-time performance and passenger satisfaction. This innovative tool gives technicians the opportunity to make repairs before a failure occurs while vehicle is in service. Utilizing Predictive Maintenance Analytics, First Transit can:
Our preventive maintenance program drives vehicle safety; and, is tracked and documented by a comprehensive, computerized system. This ensures that scheduled maintenance is performed and that vehicles run safely and reliably. Our safety policies, procedures, notices and updates are documented in an online safety resource center, reaching employees immediately and allowing them to share tips and resources.
A computer-based system tracks inspections, repairs a
nd costs, for every vehicle, ensuring that fleets are always in compliance with contractual, federal, state and municipal regulations.
Technicians perform bus inspections at regular intervals to predict and prevent problems and to minimize impact on vehicle availability. Using failure analysis, we collect and analyze data; identify root causes of a problem; and, implement an action plan in order to reach the optimum level of preventive maintenance that can be performed. The result is our ability to complete 100% of the work, 100% of the time; and, ensure buses are reliable, safe and on time.
First Transit has bought together all of the information that technicians require to perform preventive and diagnostic vehicle services. The handheld technology of the tablet enables technicians to operate in real time, reducing costs and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our maintenance shop.
Tablets allow our technicians to document preventive maintenance inspections, record various maintenance functions and work orders from anywhere in the shop. Technicians are able to check vehicle history, repeat repairs, roadcall reports and open defects on the tablets. All vehicle wiring schematics, service manuals and service bulletins are available instantly to the technicians on the tablets. Each technician has their work assignments set on the devices. With our technicians working more efficiently, they are able to spend more time on the actual maintenance of the fleet, and not spent so much time on paperwork. They also have the capability to work smarter - having work history, wiring schematics and repair manuals at their fingertips at all times.
The entire maintenance process is documented through our web-based maintenance software. Work orders capture and store all pertinent vehicle information. This data provides reports on vehicle inventory, billing, invoicing, and labor. The end result is an accurate picture of the running cost of your fleets, making it easier to adjust and even reduce your costs.
With such an in-depth program in place, it's no surprise that more than 60 of our locations have earned the Blue Seal of Excellence from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

Moeran, Brian (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper draws on extensive fieldwork in a wide range of creative industries to argue that creativity itself is under-theorised, and should be considered as both enabled and inhibited by numerous constraints guiding the choices made by creative personnel during the course of their work. Six sets of constraints are outlined in the context of different forms of cultural production: material, temporal, spatial, social, representational and economic. It is argued that the performance of creative work is similar in part to Turner's concept of 'communitas', when an aura of individual creativity is passed to other participants. This kind of liminal space is also found in creative industry ritual events, which enable participants to communicate on an equal footing, and gain knowledge and connections that they can then use at work in their normal everyday lives. These in turn may have a long-term effect on cultural production, creativity and constraints. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7951

Ice chocolateSaturday, December 23rd, 2006
Ice chocolate, to the left with almonds and to the right with walnuts.
Ice chocolate, ischoklad, is a typical Swedish Christmas candy which is made really easily. I must admit that I have no clue where the name comes from, maybe because you have to store these chocolates in the fridge or else they'll melt.
Ice chocolate (ischoklad)
(makes about 45)
200 gr chocolate
80 gr copha (Swe: kokosfett, Eng: Palmin)
45 tiny aluminium cups
optional: your favourite nuts
optional: orange liquor
Break the chocolate into pieces and put it in a deep heatproof bowl together with the copha. Melt them at a rather low temperature in the microwave. Stir the mixture and pour it into the aluminium cups.
I usually fill up 25 of the cups, then I add some drops of orange liquor to the rest of the mixture and fill the remaining cups. Add nuts. Store in the fridge, in airtight containers with a sheet of greaseproof paper between each layer.

Google, Amazon, eBay and Facebook are starting a trade association to lobby Congress on political and regulatory issues.
In September, the Internet Association will open its doors in Washington, D.C.and act as a unified voice for major Internet companies, President Michael Beckerman, a former advisor to the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Energy and Commerce Committee, told Reuters.
U.S. & World
Although not all members were named, a source confirmed that Google, Amazon, eBay and Facebook were part of the coalition.
It's not surprising, especially since Internet companies have a common goal in getting very specific needs met regarding privacy, security and sales tax. "We want to educate (lawmakers) about the impact of the Internet in their congressional districts," said Beckerman. "In September, we'll do a full rollout and announce companies and announce policy positions."
Google spent $3.92 million from April to June to lobby various federal agencies, so a new trade association that would take some of the financial burden off its back is a wise choice for the search engine. However, we're not quite sure how Facebook, eBay, Amazon and others fit into the equation.
In the same second-quarter, Facebook paid $960,000, Amazon spent $690,000 and eBay paid $400,000.
Google's big tab was for dealing with antitrust regulators while Facebook dealt with privacy issues. EBay centered its spending on piracy and counterfeiting, air pollution and revenue repatriation. Amazon was more concerned with sales tax, privacy and advertising.
It will be interesting to see how this new trade association tackles the issues -- and which ones.

With all the attention on recent cyberattacks, it's easy to forget that the government has been defending the nation's online resources since the early days of the Internet. Here's a look at some of the key milestones.
1982U.S. stages a proto-cyberattack, reprogramming computer equipment (which was being bought through a front company) intended for a Soviet gas pipeline, causing the pipeline to explode.
1986A researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovers an international effort to copy information from U.S. government, military and academic computers connected to the Arpanet.
1988The worm turns up: A Cornell University student creates the first computer worm, which cripples 10 percent of the 88,000 computers on the Arpanet, leading the newly renamed Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to contract with Carnegie Mellon University to create the CERT Coordination Center.
1990Arpanet becomes the operational network known as the Internet, with about 2.6 million people around the globe connected.
1994In response to concern over Internet security, Netscape develops Secure Sockets Layer encryption to secure online transactions.
1995Utah passes the Utah Digital Signature Act of 1995, becoming the first state to promote use of public-key infrastructure technology for digitally signing documents. PKI, developed in 1976, changed the shape of secure communications by using asymmetric cryptography in protocols such as SSL and Transport Layer Security. Government has been its biggest adopter, with the DISA's PKI infrastructure for DOD's Common Access Card program being the largest implementation.
2000NIST chooses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for classified information; it's formally approved in 2001.
The ILOVEYOU worm, a.k.a. love bug, infects government and private systems worldwide. In response, U.S. pushes for the Council of Europe Cybercrime Treaty, to harmonize computer crime laws among nations.
2003 DHS begins operations, creates the National Cyber Security Division.
2006 A Veterans Affairs Department employee loses a laptop in a burglary and with it the personal information on 26.5 million active duty troops and veterans. Later recovered untampered with, the incident raised the profile of the risks of mobile data and cost VA $20 million to settle a class action lawsuit.
2008An employee at the U.S. Central Command put a flash drive into a laptop and accidentally unleashed "Operation Buckshot Yankee," the worst breach of U.S. computers to date, exposing data on classified and unclassified systems. The fact that it was a fairly unsophisticated worm — placed by a foreign intelligence agency — made the breach more alarming. It prompted the Defense Department to completely remake its cyber defense strategy, parts of which were declassified in 2010. "It isn't the most capable threat, but that's the point," then-Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn said at the time, "... We need a new strategic approach."
2009The Aurora attacks, reportedly originating in China, hit Google and 33 other companies in search of intellectual property. In subsequent years, security experts report the well-funded group continues to strike defense-related and other industries.
2010 U.S. Cyber Command goes operational.
Stuxnet, considered the first weaponized malware because of its targeted nature, throws a wrench into Iran's nuclear program by disrupting centrifuges used for uranium enrichment. Reportedly created by a covert U.S.-Israeli program, Stuxnet was part of a sophisticated family of worms, including Flame and Duqu, that have upped the ante in cyber espionage and attacks.
2012The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace launches an initiative for a digital identity ecosystem to make online transactions more secure and enable more government and economic activity on the Internet.

Whilst arranging Life insurance with Critical Illness Cover can be stressful, we are more than happy to discuss your plan with you.
Critical illness insurance is a good way of planning for the worst, and can save your family from large expenses.
Life cover with critical illness prices can differ depending on the requirements on the policy, however discussing this with us will help you get an idea of the costs for an insurance plan.
Getting personal cover for when you are critically ill can be one of the most important factors to protect your family when you are to pass away. When you are seriously sick, we understand that life insurance may not be the first thing on your mind, however getting protected is important and could be a massive benefit for your family. It is important to consider a life insurance package when organising your finances. If you have a partner and kids, the both of you should be thinking about life insurance, irrespective of whether one or both are earning an income. We are a provider of life insurance with critical illness in Essex CO5 7 and have vast experience helping individuals through this tough time.
You must think about whether the family will cope if the parent who does not work (the one that stays at home) died. It will be challenging for the working partner to quit work to stay at home and care for the children; this is why you have to think about finance arrangements. You are able to make certain that the family can remain in the house or children can go to universities when you're gone by setting up life insurance with critical illness in Essex.
Life cover for illnesses is the process of insuring you or a loved one in the event of a severe illness. This ensures that your family will be financially protected if you are to pass away whilst suffering with your health. Since deaths are an extremely sensitive subject matter, plenty of people put insurance coverage off which makes it challenging when a family member passes away. However, not planning anything at all will put their loved ones at big financial risk. That is why we would recommend having a look at many UK packages to get the best insurance plan obtainable. The expense of life cover for sickness differs from person to person.
A good example of this would be: a smoker pays more than a non-smoker. There's also different types of coverage that may affect the cost. You can aquire coverage for yourself alone, or take out a joint coverage as a couple. You can also get insurance if you would like it simply to cover your remaining mortgage balance or you want a lump sum on pay-out which you know won't alter within the duration of your package.
The very best packages come in a variety of types, and therefore personal packages for illness costs can vary depending on the type of package you opt to go for. Despite this, you will not have to scale back on your existing lifestyle when you decide on a plan. There are a lot of benefits and special discounts which our company have to offer in order to give you support regardless of whether you make a claim. Looking after your loved ones by setting up a package is amongst the most selfless things you will ever acquire. The main reason for doing so is to be sure that your relatives are cared for.
Whilst a personal package for sickness costs can vary, it ensures you will get a pay-out of the contracted amount if someone passes away; this could either be given as a lump sum or regular income. Consider all the obtainable cover you can get and see which is most effective for you.
As specialist consultants dealing with critical illness coverage in Essex we can help you on selecting which would be the greatest package for you. We'll take into account any personal details that may affect the policy. One of the primary elements that will modify the policy which you decide to pull out would be whether or not you have children. By choosing the correct package for you, your family members won't struggle with money when you pass away.
Critical illness insurance in Essex can be very flexible to suit your needs, however as previously mentioned this can alter the final price of the policy.
Our primary goal is to make the life cover for serious illness as easy as possibe for you. It'll be easier for you to work things out now, rather than leaving behind family members and others in a tricky scenario. It is entirely up to you which insurance plan you choose to take out, but we're very happy to discuss with you which may be better for you along with the advantages and disadvantages of each.

L5 Leadership
Founded by a John's Hopkins University PhD in the world of Psychology and Leadership, L5 (Level 5) is bringing innovative solutions to the leaders of industry and wealthiest families in the world to accelerate their growth and increase their fulfillment in life. Our founder has worked in the world of leadership development and training for the past 20 years and has developed a proprietary methodology to bring business leaders and wealthy benefactors into the full potential and is now ready to bring it to the world.
Business owners and CEO's of the world's leading companies looking for better ways to engage and empower their companies while finding greater fulfillment in it. In addition, the worlds wealthiest families are experiencing the greatest transfer of their wealth between generations and training their heirs to handle this inheritance is of utmost importance to the aging benefactors along with strengthening their family relationships, too.
The L5 (Level 5) brand must appeal to both business leaders and the heads of high net worth families in sophistication and distinction while also appearing current and up to date. Refrain from using money symbols or looking like a dot-com startup. It is ok to use images that symbolize the top or highest point (Level 5 being the top of the leadership hierarchy). Strong professional colors should be used (blues, black, purple) and red is ok as well. Pastels, neon and youthful colors should be avoided. The L5 should be able to stand on it's own in the future as the brand gains more recognition.

2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 oz cream cheese*, slightly softened
5 drops peppermint extract**
confectioners' sugar
candy canes or starlight mints, crushed
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, peppermint extract and sugar. Beat until well combined.

Are Nuggets better or worse without $60 million man Andre Iguodala?
Any way you cut Andre Iguodala, this is what he is: $12 million per year for 13 points per game. He did play a key role in the Nuggets' 57 regular-season victories during his single season in Denver. But Iguodala couldn't get out of town fast enough, bolting as a free agent to Golden State. For less money than the total package offered by the Nuggets.
Well, Iguodala doesn't have to be the man for the Warriors. That's the job of Stephen Curry. And that's precisely why the Nuggets are better off not paying Iguodala $60 million for the next five years. He doesn't want to lead a team. He just wants to get paid. Nothing wrong with that. But how much will the skills of a shooting guard whose worth is based more on athletic ability than shooting touch erode in the next five years? Listen to Peter Burns of Mile High Sports Radio and I discuss why losing Iguodala doesn't have to be the end of the world for Denver here:
But did Nuggets president Josh Kroenke err in his handling of the Iguodala situation? Give us your feedback. Please. And thanks.

If the world could be different in one way because you lived, how would it be different?
I've asked a lot of people this question lately, for two reasons. First, I think it gets at the heart of who we are as individuals – our unique visions for our lives and the world. Second, I didn't know how I would answer my own question. I was fishing for inspiration.
I always tell people that their answer can be big or small, that it doesn't have to be the end-all be-all of answers (after all, I'm usually ambushing them over coffee). And every answer I've heard has been illuminating and inspiring.
For myself, though, I've been trying to dig deep. I want to get down to my end-all answer, my beliefs about who I am and my place in the world.
So far, here's what I've got: I would want people to dream good dreams, and to pursue them more wholeheartedly.
Our dreams are the stuff tomorrow is made from. Tell me the dreams of 1,000 passionate people and I'll predict the future.
But most of us, most of the time, don't value our ability to dream. We set our sights wherever our gaze happens to fall: whatever town, industry, relationship, or pursuit seems like it will make for a comfortable evening.
Life's momentum charts our course, with comfort and security it's usual aim. Not that this is bad. It's just wasteful. Wasteful of the most unique gift in the universe.
Of the millions of galaxies each with millions of stars and countless planets, only here on our beautiful little rock do we know life to exist. And among the millions of species on our planet, only we have the capacity to dream the way we do: to envision something that never was and to make it real.
And if all of us, or most of us, or even just a committed few of us envisioned a world based on our common values of fairness, compassion, and respect for the earth, we could make it so.
So for 2011 I am challenging myself and you to dream better dreams, to pursue those dreams with more fire, and to support the dreams of the people around us. Because of course it's impossible for a person to tell the future. But a few people together can dream a future that never was, and make it real.

Favorite Chocolate Sheet Cake
My mother adapted this family pleaser from a recipe for vanilla cake that was in a church cookbook. The cake is so flavorful, it wouldn't need frosting-but I always feel you can never have enough chocolate!
Total TimePrep: 20 min. Bake: 25 min. + standing
Makes12 servings
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate until combined.
- Pour into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 23-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
- For frosting, in a small saucepan, bring cocoa and milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Drizzle over cake and spread quickly. Let stand until set.

This recipe didn't work out to well for me. There was way too much mix to fit into one 15 x 10 x 1 pan. Let's just say this turned into a huge mess! If you attempt to make this and also find out that there seems to be too much mix, I would reccomend using a regular 13 x 9. I'm interested to see how it turns out for other people!

Our large Squirrel stainless steel dog ID tag is durable, classy, finely crafted, and made from the highest and best quality materials. This unique dog tag is cast from yacht grade duplex 2205 stainless steel at a foundry here in Maine. The duplex 2205 stainless steel alloy we use is unsurpassed for its durable hardness and non-corrosive properties. The alloy is 100% rust-proof (even in salt water). The best of the best, this quality alloy is also scratch resistant, chew proof and will not ever shrivel, bend, blacken, become dull, or wear through at the loop. At 1 1/2″ in diameter, the pet id tags are also thick, measuring the whopping equivalent of two quarters stacked together. A very thick, durable loop insures the pet id tags will not wear through, fall off, or be lost.
If you are looking for a truly unique, indestructible, high quality tag for your big guy or gal, this is the one.
Dogs weighing under 80 lbs will find this tag is TOO HEAVY for them! Please order a medium tag.
The front of the large stainless steel Squirrel ID tag has a cute raised graphic of a squirrel! This highly polished squirrel stands proudly above a recessed matte stainless steel surface to give the tag a real jewelry like, two toned appearance that is truly unique. The matte surface stays matte because it is recessed. The back of the tag holds your engraving on its polished surface.
Engraving quality is just as important as the tag design and material itself. The large stainless steel Squirrel ID tag boasts 5 lines of engraving which includes 17 characters per line. A pulsed fiber laser is used to deeply vaporize metal from the lines being engraved. The laser process leaves a very crisp, well defined, blackened line behind which is really optimal for readability. A lifetime guarantee accompanies all of our tags and that includes engraving as well as the tag.
Also, if for some reason, you ever need to change the information on the back of your tag, we can regrind, polish, and engrave the tag all over again. There is a charge for this service but it insures that you will never have to truly replace your tag. After all, a Silver Paw tag is a "forever tag" that you will eventually cherish even more one day…
Both a split ring and s-hook are included with each tag for collar attachment.

NYC Building Super | Live-In-Super
|In apartment buildings with nine
or more units located in New York City, the landlord must provide janitorial/superintendent services him/herself if he/she lives in the
building or the building with a superintendent
who physically lives in the building, or if the superintendent does not
live in the building, provide a superintendent who lives within 200
feet or one block of the building (whichever distance is greater).
The name of the building owner, superintendent or janitorial company must be posted in the lobby along with a telephone number (as janitorial/superintendent services must be made available on a 24-hour basis).
A super can provide many services. In small buildings often supers are plumbers and can fix things on the spot. It is common to tip the super. In a large building the super can do repairs but can also oversee a staff that can perform various duties.
There is often confusion in condos and coops what the super will do. I live in a large coop. The super's title in my building is Building Manager. He supervises a large staff including porters, handy-men, doormen and concierge staff. The building manager runs the building and is involved with it's daily operations, repairs and maintenance. Small jobs like replacing a toilet part or a faucet can cost hundreds of dollars less, a tip as opposed to what a plumbing company would charge you.
Managing agents come and go. Board members come and go but a good super is hard to find. In many buildings including mine the shareholders or owners will purchase an apartment for the super.
A good super can make a big difference in how a building is run.

Victorian Silver Plated Pocket Knife Match Safe
An interesting and unusual match safe from the Victorian (ca1880) period! This unique piece is silver plated and carries the shape of a realistic pocket knife with a fabulous repousse design. Both sides of the match safe display a textured surface with repousse veins that resemble rugged tree bark. On one side of the piece are two slivers that represent knife blades, giving the look of a real pocket knife, though the blades are purely decorative and remain sealed in place. The top of the match safe is hinged and opens to reveal a hollow, open compartment inside where matches were once stored to keep them safe and dry. On the top of the lid is a ridged surface that acts a striker, allowing the owner to easily start a flame. The plated silver surface has a wonderful natural patina which adds to the richness and depth to the image. An creative and handy piece of art, this wonderful match safe is as visually appealing as it is useful, and would make a great addition to any collection!
Measurements: The match safe measures approximately 2 3/4" tall, is 1 1/8" across at its widest point, and 5/8" at the thickest point.
Condition: The overall condition of the piece is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the plated silver setting and the lid opens easily and stays securely closed.

5 MLB Prospects Making the Most of Their Unexpected Playing Time
It's hard to believe it, but there has officially been a full month of baseball. While a month might be too early to, say, tab the currently reigning Kansas City Royals as the "team to beat" in the AL Central, it is a reasonable period of time to react to rookies' performances.
Out of spring training, there were five notable prospects who, for one reason or another, were able to win a spot on their respective organization's major league rosters. Below is a pulse check on how those five are currently performing.
Jackie Bradley Jr.Boston Red Sox
With David Ortiz still ailing from an off-season Achillis' injury, the Boston Red Sox needed an offensive boost. Jackie Bradley Jr., the Red Sox's top outfield prospect, took advantage of the situation. Bradley raked a .419/.507/.613 line over 72 PAs during spring training, earning not only a roster spot with the major league team, but also the starting left field gig too. However, after posting a dismal .097/.263/.129 line over 38 PAs, the 23 year-old was optioned to Triple-A on April 18.
Aaron HicksMinnesota Twins
Like Bradley, Aaron Hicks won a starting outfield job with the Minnesota Twins due to an incredible spring training. The 23 year-old posted a .370/.407/.644 line over 79 PAs, displacing Darin Mastroianni as the Twins starting center fielder. But the top prospect hasn't exactly wowed in the big leagues. To-date, even though Hicks is still on the major league roster, he's only hit a .120/.230/.160 line over 87 PAs. The Twins have apparently given Hicks a long leash as the former first round pick continues to be the starter.
Jedd GyorkoSan Diego Padres
Jedd Gyorko was on every fantasy owner's "sleeper list"--which sort of made him the anti-thesis of a sleeper. Gyorko had everyone drooling over his .333/.400/.552 line with 25 HR and a .311/.373/.547 line with 30 HR in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Yet, due to Chase Headley's stronghold on third base, Gyorko--a natural third baseman--was without a true position. However, when both Headley and Logan Forsythe fell prey to injury, Gyorko finally got his shot. Starting at second base for the San Diego Padres, the 24 year-old has been solid, posting a 94 OPS+ over 107 PAs. But despite those two monstrous home run seasons in the minors, Gyorko only has 1 dinger to-date.
Evan GattisAtlanta Braves
Atlanta Braves fans were sorry to see long time back up catcher David Ross depart this off-season--only because starter Brian McCann was primed to miss a significant amount of time. New backstop Gerald Laird didn't do much in spring training to inspire confidence (.154/.241/.308 line over 29 PAs), which paved the way for Evan Gattis. Gattis, who plays outfield and first base in addition to catcher, has immediately become a fan favorite in Atlanta. Stepping in for the injured McCann, the 26-year-old Texas native has owned a 125 OPS+ with 6 HR and 16 RBI. Even though the hitter hasn't walked much (6.8% BB%), fans have been impressed enough with the catcher to outwardly wonder if McCann should be given his starting job back.
Brandon MaurerSeattle Mariners
With pitching prospects like Taijuan Walker, Danny Hultzen, and James Paxton in the Seattle Mariners' farm system, it's easy to forget about Brandon Maurer. Yet, unlike the Mariners' supposed top three pitching prospects, Maurer was the only one to actually crack the major league squad's rotation. The right-handed pitcher enjoyed a solid season at Double-A in 2012, hurling a 3.20 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 2.44 K/BB over 137.6 IP. But as great as Maurer was during spring training (1.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 3.57 K/BB over 24 IP), the 22 year-old hasn't been particular sharp through his first six outings. In fact, the former 22nd rounder has pitched to the tune of a 6.07 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 2.25 K/BB. As if Maurer's high-ERA wasn't telling enough, his 62 ERA+ pretty much paints how bad the pitcher has been in 2013.

Falmouth Spur work closes routes to and from Turnpike
Crews to partially replace bridge deck
Maine Turnpike officials are warning commuters that turnpike traffic leading to and from the well-traveled Falmouth spur will be disrupted in the months ahead due to a bridge rehabilitation project.
Officials say the southbound ramp leading from the turnpike to the spur is scheduled to close for about three weeks beginning Wednesday, for a week in May or early June, and again from late May or early June until construction ends in November.
The ramp leading from the spur to the turnpike's southbound lanes will close to traffic for about a week in late May or early June.
The dates could change depending on the weather.
The $3.5 million project includes partially replacing a bridge deck, replacing bridge railings and raising the bridge to give more clearance over the turnpike.
