CONYERS - Conyers certainly looked like a state championship contender, Sunday at Henson-Carr Legion Field.In its final tuneup before the 10-team state tournament begins Wednesday, Conyers Post 77 swept a doubleheader against Rockdale, 7-6 and 15-3. Conyers, which after a successful regular season earned the league's No. 2 seed, spent the entirety of the doubleheader giving each of its pitchers work in preparation for Thursday's opener against the Alpharetta/Albany 512 winner. In game one, a 7-6 victory, the offense exploded for a seven-run fourth inning, highlighted by doubles from Brandon Crumbley and Ross Roberts. It was a rally coach Eddie Bagwell had to miss. The Post 77 skipper arrived late and said he was changing clothes and looked out and saw third baseman Travis Tarleton single. He quickly returned to the changing room and watched the remainder of the big inning, which at one point included seven consecutive base runners. Conyers went up another level in the nigthcap, scoring 12 runs in the second inning to cruise to its fourth victory in as many games against Rockdale in 2009. Bagwell was happy to see the offensive production, but the main objective Sunday was to get the pitchers work. In the opener, Anthony Bazzani and Brandon Thomas, two important pieces of the pitching staff, fired three innings of scoreless work. Though middle reliever Jimmy Gerard allowed three runs, Chase Ware and David Lockwood finished off the surprisingly close game. In game two, Kelvan Diaz, Gerard, Ware, Travis Tarleton and Brandon Crumbley all pitched well. "We got what we wanted - two innings for all our starters, one inning out of our setup guys and one inning out of our closers," Bagwell said. "We're pleased at where our pitching is at the moment." Bagwell's crew returned to work immediately, working mostly on defense during a Monday workout. Post 77 will workout again today, before Thursday's 4:30 p.m. game. "We're focusing our practices on defense; first and foremost, we're catching a lot of ground balls," Bagwell said. "They worked hard today, I was real pleased with the effort out of everybody." Bagwell also talked about the team's focus (all about game one) and possible starting pitching assignments for the tournament, held this season at Hunter Park in Douglasville. The game one start should come from a group that includes left-hander Tyler Walker, Austin and Thomas. Bazzani is scheduled to make the second start, and if Conyers gets to game three, Bagwell and pitching coach Jody Gilbert will go with Diaz. "Tyler Walker, Tyler Austin and Brandon Thomas - that's the debate for game one," Bagwell said. "(But) all bets are off; everybody is available. Our focus ... is ... whoever we match up with in that first game. We're going all out for game one, then we'll focus on game two."

AutoCoach - Home of the AutoCoach Timing System
Innovative new wireless sporting technology
For years, sports timing has stayed relatively the same. Coaches all use stopwatches and shout commands at athletes. Some are lucky enough to have assistants to record results. Others are even luckier and may have an entire timing system. However most timing systems are just overly complicated and take hours to set up. Shouldn't it be easier? It is now.
AutoCoach now introduces the AutoCoach timing system. Using the latest in wireless technology, the AutoCoach timing system combines the functions of regular timing systems, starting systems, communications and data collection tools all into one simple-to-use system. With an unlimited number of possible setups along with frequent software updates, this wireless sports timing system has the versatility to handle virtually any task whether it's training for the Championships or simply just talking to the athletes.
Adapted for many sports such as track & field, triathlons and especially swimming.
Each device is designed to be portable allowing for easy transportation
With a range of over 200 meters, the AutoCoach system allows wireless transmission of data, timing and audio.
The system employs a digitally encoded wireless network allowing you to control who's in and who's out.
Designed with the tech illeterate in mind, the AutoCoach system requires minimal setup - just press and play!
Choose your own components to create your own AutoCoach system designed to do what YOU need it to do. It's all up to YOU.

Helping Children One Book at a Time
Main Navigation
Get Involved
Who We Are
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait
a single moment before starting to improve the world
~Anne Frank
Partners In Print
is a collective effort to encourage people in every community to donate books to their local facilities for children in foster care.
Foster children are a silent minority among the nation's youth and are often plucked from their homes with just a few meager belongings. We all know about foster care, but not many are privy to the realities of it. These children are abused and neglected and hurting to a degree that most of us cannot fathom. But we can do something about it.
When we place a book into the hands of a child we give them the keys to a magic kingdom, open their eyes to new worlds, and give them hope for a better tomorrow. We can help improve literacy, dare them to dream, and show them people care. All we have to do is donate a few books. It's that easy.
Our mission is to encourage everyone to remember these children and sift through your stacks of books for a few you could part with. Hold it in your hands and remember how you felt reading it, what you saw, what you loved about the characters - and then be willing to let it go. Let the book go to a child who may otherwise never get the chance to know it like you do. It's a gift that will last a lifetime.
Just imagine the impact we could have if we all donated just a few books. It could total hundreds, or even thousands of books and reach hundreds or even thousands of children! That would be a huge impact on the next generation.
We often hear the term 'raising awareness' about this cause or that cause, but we are not trying to raise awareness - we want to promote action. And it's something we could all accomplish. You will get the satisfaction of knowing you helped a child just by giving a book.
Please join with Partners In Print and together we can make a difference in the lives of children.
Purchase a copy of Love, Me!
All profits are donated to a nonprofit
advocating for children in the
foster care system.

The posh and the volunteers
A really good article in the guardian today talks about the return of the posh to popular society. It talks about various aspects of posh, and how they have become acceptable again in public circles, its well worth a read.
But as a class warrior (ha!) myself I am worried about the seeming rise of the posh towards a perhaps now inevitable Tory victory in the next election. I find Dave, Boris et al a troubling group who seem to work on the basis of an old school of patrician conservatism – although the same could of course have been said for Blair. Basically I dont really like our political system, but let's gloss over that for now.
What I have been considering is the potential changes in society that a Tory government would bring, I fear that many of the progressive social institutions that arose under labour will disappear – I'm talking Sure Start, extended schools workers and so on. What will have to appear in their place is the volunteer – arguably a good thing I suppose, as a perpetual volunteer I must support the idea. But it does concern me that the kind of voluntary social care provided is provided as 'charity' or elitist conservative patronage.
However, what will be will be, and I suppose every cloud has its silver lining, with the new posh will probably come the new mods – and mod music is some of the best music in history.
By the way, also on this kind of subject is a video of a Copenhagen confrontation (more like a love-in) between Boris Johnson and George Monbiot (himself just a bit posh) on carbon emissions and electric Porsches. It's also on the Guardian – newspaper of choice for posh lefties everywhere.
Letter from Mumbai
So I'm currently in India, where for the last couple of days I've been immersed in the world of garment manufacture, and trying to solve a nagging production issue, which has now been resolved – hurrah!
However, the world of business means that I've been living a very 'unreal' Indian existance, being picked up from one air-conditioned location and carried in an air-con car to another similar place. Even the factories are clean and well presented, with air-con meeting rooms and bottled drinks for 'important' western buyers like me.
It all feels really weird living like this, even the way I dress is required to demonstrate my separation from the poor and lowest parts of society, I must appear smart and well groomed in order that the factory bosses take me and my business seriously. I must deliberately differentiate myself from the urban poor, demonstrating my ability to be 'worth something' to them.
This afternoon I had a rare, and far too short opportunity to escape the clutches of business colleagues and anxious hotel staff and to get out for a change amongst the smells and dust of Mumbai.
One of the great joys for me in this kind of place is to travel by rickshaw, something I'm not often able to do as a business traveller, so I grabbed the chance this afternoon, and without realising it, scored a double whammy.
Not only did I get the rickshaw ride I wanted, but I got a driver with attitude and humour, not only was his ride 'pimped' with a large pop culture sticker which almost completely obscured the windscreen, but he also had a large brass hooter for a horn, something which is rather impractical but a lot of fun.
As if this wasn't quite enough, he turned to me as we got in and said: 'Magic?'
'Magic??' I replied, wondering what he was on about.
'Magic!!' he declared, before putting on the loudest music in the road, so off we went in his pimped out rickshaw, music blasting. Highly entertaining.
However, the reality of the separation between me and the people around me is not altered by one short rickshaw ride. From the fourth floor window of my hotel room, I look down on a collection of slum dwellings, where people are living in circumstances which for me are unimaginable. Kids walk blithely along huge concrete pipes, between which a stagnant sewer steeps.
Ragged homes are built of reclaimed junk, and men sit for hours sorting through piles of plastic litter, presumably looking for items which are worth reclaiming or have some other resale value.
This is India in the 21st century, beautiful hotels in which the priveliged can dwell in air-conditioned luxury, right next to abject poverty. Apparently I'm stuck in one camp, wanting to make a difference to the other, unsure as to how well I am managing it.
should we look to the elite for climate solutions?
According to what I read at Treehugger, the rich are to blame for climate chaos.
"For example, the average American's carbon footprint is 2000 times bigger than the average person living in Chad. The average British [sic] emits more carbon in a day than the average Kenyan emit in a year. It gets worse! Did you know that the top 20% wealthiest people contribute 80% of greenhouse gases? Or that the top 7% are responsible for half of all carbon emissions?"
This all adds fuel to my revolutionary fire, but a counter argument that has been gaining some ground goes like this – if the rich are responsible for so much of the problem, we should work with them to solve it. This is based on the rather dubious 'offsetting' programmes that seem to abound, but that to one side, does this general approach make sense? Is it pragmatic?
"Most people see this as a reason to loathe the affluent, but wouldn't it make more sense to see them as an enormous opportunity to create fast and dramatic change for global warming? If the 20% well-to-do offset their CO2 emssions by 50%, that would mean an overall decrease of 40%."
Everything within me rankles at this suggestion, but I wonder if I'm just to idealistic? Can the wealthy really just buy us out of this mess?

What's the average blood sugar for a 65 year old man?
Not Medical Advice: Age isn't a factor when it comes to determining a safe blood sugar level. However, the danger of developing type 2 diabetes does increase with age. A truly normal fasting blood sugar before a meal is between 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/L) and 92 mg/dl (5.0 mmol/L).
Doctors consider any fasting blood sugar between 70 mg/dl (3.9 mg/dl) and 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/L) to be normal. But several studies propose that people whose fasting blood sugar is over 92 mg/dl (5.1 mmol/L) are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes over the next decade.
Keep snacking on those berries and dark chocolate and sipping on red wine and tea: Consuming them may lower your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition shows that people who eat items that contain certain groups of flavonoids, called flavones and anthocyanins, have lower insulin resistance and can regulate their blood sugar better, possibly helping reduce their risk for Type 2 diabetes. Read more at CBS News.
As reported by mobihealthnews, only about 1.2 percent of people with diabetes use a mobile application to manage their condition, according to a new report by Research2Guidance. That's a group of about 1.6 million users. However, the firm predicts that by 2018 that number will rise to 24 million users, or 7.8 percent of people with diabetes. Find out more here.

Starting Tuesday, it is against the law in Missouri City for drivers to text, tweet, email, surf the internet and operate a motor vehicle.
"We think its really critical to stop accidents and save lives."
That's Stacie Walker, public information manager for the City of Missouri City. She says after council passed the ordinance in February, no texting signs were posted at all major thoroughfares...Texas Parkway, Highway-6, Murphy Road and on Highway 90, or Main Street, north and south bound.
"Council was mainly concerned about public safety, and police chief Joel Fitzgerald has said there have been one accident that involved reading a text and the driver was at fault, but for the most part, it's not an issue here. And that's why we wanted to be proactive about our policy to prevent any of those accidents happening."
Exceptions are allowed in the event of an emergency, or when pulled over safely to the side of the road. Walker says motorists can still talk on a cell phone while driving.
"This is as you know, a national issue and a lot of regional cities have passed it, and statewide the legislature has also passed two new laws that pertain to texting and so, we think it's really critical to stop accidents and save lives."
Motorists can be fined up to 500-dollars per violation under the new texting ban in Missouri City.

Your users will love their Microsoft CRM system if they have
quick access to all of the reports they need. Unfortunately, most people wait
until just before going live with Microsoft CRM to start thinking about and
creating reports. Consequently, reports frequently get rushed and shortchanged
on development and testing. So our first and most important tip is don't ignore
reports until the end of your implementation process. Reports always take
longer than you expect to develop and test!
Here are a few other tips to keep in mind when you're working with
Microsoft CRM reports.
Always keep backups of your report files, and never edit the
live reports. If possible, save your reports in a version-control mechanism
such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe so that you can roll back to previous
versions if necessary.
Adding images or logos to your report will help improve their
appearance, but adding too many can slow down the report's performance.
Therefore, be mindful of the number of images used and their file sizes.
Embedding images in the report or database (instead of referencing an external
URL) provides for better portability.
If you run a report with a graphic and a red X displays where
the graphic should be, you're probably experiencing a problem in which Internet
Explorer blocks a cookie from Reporting Services. You can explicitly allow
cookies from the server running Reporting Services by modifying the Privacy
settings within Internet Explorer (explained in Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 908672).
When using the Reporting Services Designer, be sure you are
in the layout or data view if you click the Save button on the toolbar. If you
click Save on the Preview tab, Visual Studio tries to save the output of the
report instead of the report itself.
If you create custom stored procedures or views for your
reports, you should not add them in the Microsoft CRM databases. Remember,
Microsoft does not support modifying or altering the SQL Server databases
directly; you should create a separate database for this type of situation.
Microsoft CRM conveniently creates two columns for each
lookup and picklist field in the filtered view. You can reference the lookup or
picklist value, or just reference the name directly. Make sure that your report
writers know this so that they don't waste time trying to join filtered views
to display the names.
Two additional views (FilteredStringMap and
FilteredStatusMap) provide the picklist and status reasons, respectively. You
might need to reference these views for custom parameter lists.
If possible, you should try to use an entirely separate
server for your reporting needs instead of the live production database.
Keeping reporting on a separate database server is absolutely critical for
larger organizations, databases with large amounts of data, and companies with
complex, time-consuming report queries. Moving reporting to a separate database
server provides the following benefits:
You can add indices specific to the needs of the report
queries without adverse effects on the transactional database.
If any particular report or load creates a performance
bottleneck, you won't affect other Microsoft CRM users when the report runs.
Data caching and snapshots might also help alleviate this problem.
You can create custom stored procedures and views as
You can configure refined security for report authors. For
instance, you can limit which stored procedures and views a particular report
author can access.
When creating queries in your reports, do not use select *
(to return all of the columns in your query). You will get better performance
by selecting only the columns you need returned.
Make sure that you modify the default pre-filters for each
custom Reporting Services report you create to further limit the amount of data
returned (thus improving performance).
Perform filtering, calculations, and grouping in SQL Server
rather than in Reporting Services where possible. SQL Server performs grouping
operations more efficiently and quickly than Reporting Services.
Because filtered views return a UTC and a local date for each
date field, make sure that you also reference the UTC date when comparing dates
in a report.

Thanks to a $640,000 state Department of Transportation grant, hikers and bicyclists soon can enjoy another mile along the Black River Trail extended in the direction of the city of Watertown.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced earlier this week that the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation received the money to extend the Black River Trail from its parking lot off Ridge Road and west along Eastern Boulevard (Route 3). It will join about 3.3 miles of trails that run toward the village of Black River.
Kevin A. Kieff, Thousand Islands regional director for the state parks office, said the Black River Trail someday will connect with the citys trail system. The new mile-long section has been in the works for years, even before the Black River Trail was completed a decade ago.
We were very pleased to be selected, Mr. Kieff said about the grant.
This will be a planning year for the project, he said. His office will work with the DOT, complete surveys of the land, finish the design and put it out to bid. Work will begin during the spring of 2015 and be completed that summer, he said.
Plans call for a 10-foot-wide asphalt pathway similar to the existing trail. It will allow easy access to the East Hills apartments, he said. Additional parking in that area may be added, he said.
Senior City Planner Michael A. Lumbis was happy to hear the project will be completed, even though the extension will not reach to where the citys trail begins at Waterworks Park off Huntington Street.
Its another piece of the puzzle, he said, adding he hopes the next stretch to Waterworks Park eventually will be completed.
The city endorsed the project when the state office of parks applied for the funding. The city also applied for, but did not receive, funding for design work for a section of city trails between Waterworks Park and Eastern Boulevard and design work for another section near Newell Street, Mr. Lumbis said.
John K. Bartow Jr., executive director of the Tug Hill Commission, said the extension to the Black River Trail will bring awareness to the river, which has always been a focus of the Tug Hill Commission.
He said he hopes this initiative will lead to other enhancements for the river, which he feels is way underutilized. In addition, he said, the extension would improve the public use and enjoyment of the area.
The funding for the Black River Trail is part of about $67 million for 63 bicycle, pedestrian and multiuse path projects across the state.

Here's what expecting parents are saying about our Prepared Childbirth classes:
The Parenting 101 Class was helpful, fun and interactive. We thoroughly enjoyed this class and recommend it to all expecting and new parents. I strongly recommend the Parenting 101 class for all expecting and new parents. It was very reassuring to have such a knowledgeable and experienced instructor to answer our questions about parenting. Having other new parents in the class was great - for we made some new friends and playmates for our baby. After attending our Parenting 101 class we realized that parenting can't be learned from a book or the Internet. Taking this class, having an experienced instructor who addressed our specific questions and meeting other expecting and new parents was just what we needed to build our confidence. The Family & Friends CPR and First Aid class was excellent – the instructor was thorough and the safety information essential. Thank you! What a great instructor! We learned so much in our Family & Friends CPR and First Aid course. We recommend it to all new parents. I've always been concerned about providing a safe environment for my grandchildren. Now that I've taken the Family & Friends CPR and First Aid class, I feel better prepared and more confident about measures to take in an emergency situation. I love being able to attend the Prenatal Yoga classes each month. I'm meeting other expecting moms and learning how to be more relaxed and centered for my childbirth experience. Thank you! The Prenatal Yoga classes cover just what I need to be prepared for my birth experience. What a great Prenatal Yoga class! The instructor is very knowledgeable and caring. I recommend this class to all expecting moms. The Infant Massage class covered so much valuable information to help me bond with my baby and improve her sleep patterns – thank you! Our Infant Massage instructor was so patient, kind and experienced. We truly appreciated her knowledge and professionalism.
"The Boot Camp for New Dads provided a laid-back atmosphere in which the instructor not only followed thorough guidelines but also asked the group what we most wanted to learn. The class was a positive experience that left me feeling better prepared to be a father."
"We all have questions about how to prepare not only for the financial and medical aspects of parenting but also the social implications - how becoming a father will affect relationships with our friends, families and spouses. Our instructor took the time to find out about our apprehensions and offer affirming advice."
The Boot Camp for New Dads really calmed my fears about helping mom and baby. I recommend this class to all expecting and new dads."
"The Boot Camp for New Dads gives great advice from someone who has been through it."
I loved our Preparing for Birth class. It was informative and uplifting and our instructor was professional and very knowledgeable. I feel much more prepared than I thought I would. Thank you!" "Having hands-on learning opportunities in our Preparing for Birth class was great. The instructor was very experienced and kept our class interesting and fun." "I thoroughly enjoyed my Labor Basics class. It was a very positive, educational experience and was much better than I anticipated." "Our Labor Basics class was excellent and interactive. Our instructor was a caring nurse and an experienced mom who was very patient with questions." "Thank you so much for offering the Infant and Mother Care class. This class helped me to feel more comfortable and confident in caring for my first baby." " Breastfeeding Basics was a great class. I learned so much about what to expect and how to manage breastfeeding once I return to work. I highly recommend this class to all mothers who will be breastfeeding for the first time." "We really enjoyed our Infant Massage class. We were amazed to learn about all of the health benefits of massaging babies. We are looking forward to using the massage techniques with our child."
"We thought that we had all of the information that we needed for preparing for childbirth from books and the Internet. We're so glad that we decided to attend the Preparing for Birth series. These classes and our experienced instructor offered us so much more. Now we feel we're truly prepared!"

Matthew Stepp is a senior policy analyst at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank.
Extreme weather has become the new normal. Despite another year of unprecedented drought in Midwestern states, historic wildfires and devastating storms such as Hurricane Sandy, there hasn't been a groundswell of support for climate-change policy from Middle Americans. The problem is not that Middle America is indifferent to the well-being of the planet or more frequent natural disasters; the problem is that most climate and environmental advocates are indifferent to the needs of Middle America.
Many environmentalists argue that the best way to address climate change is for Americans to change their lifestyles and make sacrifices for the good of the planet. Americans are told they must consume less, waste less and spend more to buy clean energy. While David Brooks's "Bourgeois Bohemians" may be able to retrofit their homes with solar panels and drive Chevy Volts, most of us can't.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Clear Roads Manager Mark Fischbach says he was happy with the agency's response to Sunday's big snowstorm.
Fischbach says the response to the storm shows how MnDot has adjusted its techniques through the years.
"By rush hour (on Monday), we were down to just compaction on half of our freeway system and the other half was down to bare lane," said Fischbach.
Compaction is the coating of ice and snow on area roadways when cars and trucks compress the falling snow before it can be removed.
The St. Paul native explained that Mn/DOT learns from past storms.
"If you remember the Halloween storm several years ago (1991), it took weeks to remove that compaction. Now, we can do it in a matter of hours," said Fischbach.
Fischbach credits the application of brine solution to the roads before the storm hits, as was done Thursday. The brine makes it much easier for plows to "pop" the compaction off of the roads.
The storm that deflated the Metrodome roof in 2010 also resulted in a change on highway snow removal and de-icing.
"We are using more liquids to help jump start our sodium chloride in the de-icing process," said Fischbach. "By adding liquids to the rock salt solids, we can activate it into brine quicker and that will actually start the melting process quicker."
Fischbach explained that rock salt must be melted into brine before it can have any effect on the roads.
More than 200 Mn/DOT Metro salt trucks have an apparatus that drops liquid through a tube onto the spinning road salt applicator on the back of the truck, moistening the salt.
Mn/DOT expected to work through Monday night and into Tuesday to clear compaction from ramps and freeway entrances and exits, to finally put the first big storm of the this winter behind us.

Sleep at 3:30AM, wake at 6:50AM, business call to States at 7AM. Groggy, but good call. Very solid planning.
Business research, tech stuff in the morning. Editing book. Get tired. Can't be tired. Go for run. Eat curry, bread, salad, fruit juice, iced tea. Wake up. Book is edited. Book is edited? Book is edited! Book is edited.
Why do I have 21 emails in my box? I cleared it two days ago, and I've been answering at least half the incoming email. Note: clear inbox after morning routine and most important thing tomorrow.
Happy. Tired. I wish I was strong enough to sleep 3.5 hours per night and do high level output without crashing, but I crash now. Answer emails tomorrow. I hate sleeping. Tired. Happy.
To be or not to be– that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep
No more – and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to – 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.—Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.
I'm stealing sleep again! I love it!
Ah, yes, what's "stealing sleep"?
It's a dangerous but interesting strategy. It means having a hectic, busy schedule where you run on low sleep, and grab naps/short sleeps of between 20 minutes and 2-4 hours when you have a free chance.
I'm... not recommending it. But it can be a good time...
For me, at least, every time I sleep my mind kind of "resets" to some extent. Or something like that. Thus, for a short period of time (weeks, at most), I can get a lot more high level work out of myself when I'm on this kind of schedule.
When I first started this schedule, the whole day was a hard period. I was a zombie.
As I moved on, the days started getting ok and the nights were hard.
Soon I felt tired from 11pm-5am, but was ok after that.

Oregon linebacker Michael Clay suffered a left lower leg injury against Nevada on Saturday that, from the sound of things, will sideline him for at least this week against Missouri State, if not longer.
Clay left the field Saturday on crutches with an ice bag taped to the outside of his left ankle, after being injured on the final play of the third quarter, with the Ducks leading 55-13. Oregon's leading tackler through two games was on crutches when he left the athletic complex later in the day, and again Monday.
Defensive players interviewed Monday spoke of moving on without Clay, with outside linebacker Boseko Lokombo saying that "other guys are going to have to step up." The No. 12 Ducks face Missouri State on Saturday in Autzen Stadium at 12:30 p.m.
"What happened to Mike was a big loss," defensive end Dion Jordan said. "But I'm pretty sure we've got enough people that's ready to get in there and play. We do a lot of rotating and things like that, so somebody is going to have to come in and fill his shoes because he's down. Somebody else is going to have to pick it up."
The silver lining against Nevada was the return of middle linebacker Kiko Alonso from suspension. Alonso played primarily in the middle Saturday, with starting middle linebacker Dewitt Stuckey moving over to Clay's weak-side position whenever Clay was given a break, an alignment that is as likely as any to be the starting look against the Bears on Saturday.
Depth will continue to come from Derrick Malone at the weak-side position, and Lokombo said he wouldn't be surprised if Rodney Hardrick played this week. Hardrick is a true freshman who dressed for Oregon's first two games but has yet to play.
"He's still doing a lot of learning," Jordan said of Hardrick. "He's got to pick up the calls and the game speed, because it's a lot different from high school. But I feel like he's been in there, coach's got him dressing and got him preparing to step in there and play for a reason. I think he's on his way."
Starting outside linebacker Josh Kaddu has played a little at the weak-side spot, too, so could move inside with Lokombo taking more reps at the outside/strong-side position.

The JetBlue Truman Show
by adam , Shelly Palmer on Sep 29, 10:15 AM
I'm sitting on JetBlue Flight 212, the Thursday afternoon flight from Long Beach, Calif. to New York. Just a few seats away sits Diane Hamilton, an attractive 40-something woman with striking features and a 1000-yard stare. I had met Diane on the security line, when she dropped her carry-on baggage on my foot -- an excellent conversation starter. Thinking I could sound both cynical and clever at the same time, I made a semi-sarcastic remark about hoping that we would get a JetBlue plane with wheels that pointed in the right direction.

WWGCD - What Would the General Consumer Do?
by Cory Treffiletti on Sep 28, 10:15 AM
I don't dispute in the least that digital advertising will become the primary method of reaching out to the consumer, but sometimes we get so excited by our own ideas that we forget to see what our parents and their friends, or our peers in smaller markets, think.

KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid
by Mark Naples on Sep 23, 10:45 AM
The fact is that interactive media has pushed the edges of the frontier of what is acceptable to consumers and privacy advocates. This is part of what makes interactive marketing as effective as it is. But how many of our campaigns cross the line without those of us on the buying end knowing?

Blogs: A Better Form of Community

E-mail: The "Duh" Factor?
by Seana Mulcahy on Sep 19, 11:00 AM
I wanted to share with you some top findings from Silverpop's 2005 Retail E-mail Marketing Study: 75% of companies studied don't use customers' names in e-mails responding to requests, while 25% failed to offer any reason to sign up to receive e-mails from the company.

"Good mornin', America, how are ya?"
The words should be familiar — they kick off the chorus of the pop-and-country classic "City Of New Orleans" — and Michael Martin Murphey puts the train the song was named after to good use beginning this Fourth of July weekend. Starting Friday, Michael plays three straight days at the Fir Amphitheater, a mountain-top venue in Colorado that can only be accessed by riding the rails through La Veta Pass. And the train that fans take to reach the Fir is indeed the City of New Orleans, the same train Steve Goodman rode through Illinois when he was inspired to write his best-known song. "City Of New Orleans" became a pop hit in the early '70s for Arlo Guthrie and a No. 1 country hit for Willie Nelson in 1984.
Michael, who recently purchased some land to live on in Colorado, will repeat his three-day performance series every weekend during July for the third straight year as a part of the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad Roots & Boots Summer Concert Series.
"I've always gone out of my way to perform cowboy music outdoors on the mountains and prairies," Michael says, explaining why he keeps returning. "And I love trains!"
The concerts are accompanied by western barbecue meals and a range of Michael's music, including cowboy songs and some of his biggest hits. He was a regular presence in country's Top 10 during the 1980s with "What's Forever For," "A Long Line Of Love" and "Carolina In The Pines." His 1975 pop hit "Wildfire" was also ranked in the Top 20 this month when the Western Writers of America named the 100 best Western Songs.
Even after the Roots & Boots shows are concluded, Michael has another major concert event on tap in Colorado. After a five-year hiatus, he's reintroducing his Westfest celebration Aug. 12-15 at the Garfield County Fairgrounds in Rifle, Colo. The festival features cowboy poetry, Indian entertainers and a range of other performers, including Craig Morgan, James Otto, Elvis Presley guitar legend James Burton, bluegrass player Peter Rowan, Trailer Choir and Grammy-winning Native American musician Bill Miller. Also appearing will be Ryan Murphey, who joined his dad on the 1988 hit "Talkin' To The Wrong Man" and shared a Grammy nomination with Michael for producing the album Buckaroo Blue Grass.

Cat 'eat' crunch three
In my continting series of photos on the packets of cat-food:
Brekkies is a once mighty brand fallen to the odd appearances in Wilko, and this tabby has felt the sting of every rung of that ladder on the way down. He's landed on his feet, but you can see the upward glance to the heights of Wiskas or Felix the longing look in his eyes.
The saddest cat I've yet seen, however, is this morose tom. I know advertising wilko's own brand cat litter isn't the carear he dreamt of, but he's a litle podgy and you know that if the litter works for him it'll be good quality. He looks a little eggbound here.
Cat-eat crunch two – bargain edition
So, we've established that cats on the packets of cheap brands of cat food don't look too happy. But can we prove the correlation by delving deaper into the bowels of cheapness. To that end I took a trip to a store that prides itself on nothing more that its low price — B&M Bargains.
The expresion on this lovely ginger cat seems to say "enough, stop pushing this bowl at me".
I know this isn't a great photo, but 'Delight' doesn't seem the gaze this puss has.
Posh Cat looks like the food is beneath him.
'Schmusy', which must mean something nice in German. On first glance the cat is having an 'eyes closed' moment with an owner's rub at the side of the face — but I wouldn't be surprised if he was long dead and the taxidermist isn't holding his head in place ready for the glue.
It's quite hard to see if the 'Rufus' cat is happy or not, these being the smallest photos of a cat I've seen. They're also heavily photoshopped, but the designer still decided to use the shot of him about to spray his 'scent' (for which read piss) all over you.
'Miau!' might be a freindly noise in some foreign language version of animal phonetic spellings, but hin English it seems like a cry of terror or pain. The cat's stare is fixed as he backs away from the packets bearing his picture. Would you fancy eating it?
Cat-eat Crunch?
Our cats are quite particular about what they eat, they like Whiskas or Felix and only certain flavours, but I'm always on the look out for something to give them a bit of variety. Today in Somerfield I was casting my eyes down the cat food aisle and noticed something.
Normally cat food shows a picture of a happy energetic looking cat on the front (which is odd as there aren't pictures of humans on the front of our food) something like this:
Go-Cat is quite an established brand, they've been using this boo-alike for some time – he looks springy, bright-eyed and desperate to eat those crunchy cereal things.
Contrast that with the cat on the supermarket own-brand food:
Sad, longing and somehow not looking forward to the chunks or the gravy. Even the gourmet cat is affected by the black dog of depression. The ennui of the pedigree:
He's also a little out of focus. It's catching, this poor kitten cant even rouse the enthusiasm (despite New & Improved Recipes) to list his head towards the noms.
It might be the case that cats getting no-frills food might not be quite as pleased when it's mealtime, but you'd think it wouldn't be too hard to get a snap of one that was getting salmon filets, grinning from ear to ear and purring like a well-tuned engine?

Monthly Archives: February 2013
Last week, we examined the concept of how our prayers for the needy need to translate into doing something for them. This week we broaden our scope to look at a practical way that we can be engaged in prayer in the Community.
Praying for Our Community
There are a few different ways that we can become more aware of the needs in our community-at-large. One of the ways is through reading the paper and praying about an issue or a problem that strikes you. Just before Christmas, I read an article about how some Nova Vita apartments in my area had been burned by fire. The residents, women and children who were victims of Domestic Violence and were trying to build a new life for themselves, had lost many of their belongings and Christmas presents in the fire. For some reason, the article stuck with me. Yet, until this very moment, I didn't think to pray for them, I just thought about them. Maybe God was prompting me to pray about it by bringing it to mind?
Another way we can engage in prayer in our community is through 'prayer walks'. Prayer walking is simply walking around your neighbourhood, trying to see it through the eyes of Christ, and praying for the people and places in it. We could pray for our neighbours, for our relationships with them, for the children in the area and for ourselves to reflect Jesus to those around us. This may be an especially enjoyable way to walk and pray, to be alone with God, and to enjoy His presence and His creation.
When Joshua was given the leadership of the nation of Israel, the Lord told him "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them – to the Israelites, I will give you every place where you set your food, as I promised Moses". (Joshua 1:2-3) As they moved forward they claimed the promises of God and eventually entered the Promised Land
Last week, we connected to God through prayer for physical healing. This week we open our eyes to the needs of those around us.
Praying for the Needy
Do you ever walk past the man or woman sitting on the sidewalk hunched over begging for money and feel a conflict in your heart about what to do? Do you give some change and feel like you have done your 'duty'? Do you not give money because they might spend it on drugs or alcohol? Do you give to the church or a charity and feel that you are 'covered' because there are organizations already caring for these people? Just by the nature of the fact that you are reading this blog online means that you are probably reasonably well off. The others are called the 'marginalized'.
God is greatly concerned about the poor and the oppressed. God's call is to justice, righteousness and compassion. As followers of Jesus, do we have compassionate hearts? Do we care about the poor? Do we seek justice for the marginalized? Do we pray for them and does our prayer lead to any action? It's a cop out if we have time to sit in church every Sunday talking about 'religion' when we don't find time to do anything about it. Consider the words of God in the Book of Amos:
"I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" (Amos 5: 21-24)
I constantly need to remind myself of the words in James 1:27 "Religion that our father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." Religion doesn't have anything to do with sitting in church week after week even though I sometimes convince myself that it does. There are lots of days that I don't take the time to spend with even those around me that I know could use a helping hand. After I take a few moments to pray for them, I need to take a few moments to pray for myself to be the hands and feet of Jesus to them.

From the start, even fans recognized that one of Obamacare's great weaknesses was its failure to regulate insurance rates.
White House/Pete Souza
President Obama is clearly frustrated that having inherited an economy that was at death's door, he is getting remarkably little credit for getting it back on its feet.
The threat from Islamic State "is personal for us in New Hampshire," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
The midterm elections are coming up, and despite the fact that a Politico poll shows Republicans have serious "lady problems," as the "Colbert Report" host puts it, most GOP candidates seem hellbent on continuing to ignore and belittle more than half the country's population.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch—as foreign events hog the spotlight—why haven't Republicans sealed the deal on the coming election?
The short-term future of politics in the nation's capital will be determined in large part by which party ends up in control of the Senate. But for a sense of the long-term future of politics in the country as a whole, watch the governors' races.
The newspaper Azzaman reports that a U.S. drone hit mortar emplacements and F-18s struck artillery arrays and armored vehicles deployed by the so-called Islamic State in Kuwair east of Mosul on the way to the Kurdistan capital of Irbil, and near a major dam, some areas of which are controlled by the IS fighters.
The central issue in this fall's elections could turn out to be a sleeper: What kind of Republican Party does the country want?

What's happening in the Republican primaries is less a defeat for the tea party than a surrender by the GOP establishment, which is winning key races by accepting the tea party's radical anti-government philosophy.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Republican Sen. Pat Roberts on Monday was allowed to keep his job despite a challenge brought by tea party activists claiming he spends so much time out of Kansas, he wouldn't even qualify for in-state tuition if he went back to school.
Bragging about what they've achieved is what incumbent politicians do. But as Democrats struggle to hang on to the Senate this year (and try against the odds to take over the House), they are not in the usual boasting mood.
Despite Republican claims to the contrary, things are definitely looking up. Democrats ought to be clicking their heels and spreading the good news.
The Democrats' biggest strategic challenge in maintaining control of the U.S. Senate involves motivating the party's base while simultaneously attracting swing and even Republican voters in contests being waged in conservative states.

As the midterm elections approach, both public opinion data and the facts on the ground are taking a significant turn.
Bill Moyers interviews Kim Barker and Andy Kroll about the explosion of dark money spending in this year's midterm elections, and the impact of looming Supreme Court decisions.
Here is what Democrats should learn from their party's loss in a special House election in Florida last week: Wishy-washy won't work.
Listlessness is bad politics. Defensiveness is poor strategy. And resignation is never inspiring.
President Obama's feelings won't be hurt if Democrats running for re-election ask him to keep clear of their races, says an anonymous senator speaking to The Washington Post.
Usually when we report on voters' disapproval of Congress, it's with the caveat that most people like their own incumbents. That's not so anymore.
A new poll shows the GOP on top of the Democrats heading into the midterm elections next year and while it's far too soon to be definitive, the numbers should alarm the president and his party.
Catching up on the day's political news, one can see that the preferred issues of the Democrats and Republicans heading into the midterm elections are already having an impact.
Maybe it's the NSA spying, the fact that the economic recovery has mostly benefited the richest Americans or the threat to bomb Syria. Regardless, a growing majority of the country disapproves of the president's job performance.

There are two questions on every issue that every politician worries about: Do my constituents care? And, more importantly, how much do they care?
Was 2010 American liberalism's Waterloo? If there is one thing the Obama White House most underestimates, it is the dispirited mood of its troops.
It's been not quite two months' time since Republicans won a sweeping midterm victory, and already they seem divided, embattled and—not to mince words—freaked out. For good reason, I might add.
Being the party of "new and improved" surely beats getting trapped in a fight whose terms were set entirely by Republicans.

The military's major campaign in Kandahar has been largely ignored. The American public cannot have a debate on the war if it is not even mentioned in public.
The lame-duck session of Congress that kicks off this week will test whether Democrats have spines made of Play-Doh, and whether President Obama has decided to pretend that capitulation is conciliation.

The nation is dividing into ever-more-irreconcilable niches—like fans of competing teams, rather than members of a greater whole with shared purpose.
"Why don't they fight back?" That's the question I've been hearing from the Democratic Party's stunned and dispirited base.
AP / Chitose Suzuki
Taxes are the best weapon against the kind of self-perpetuating Ivy League elitism so despised by the tea party.
Election Day exit polls showed that the health care bill is not nearly so widely despised as right-wing propaganda suggests—and that its demise is certainly not the highest priority of voters.
In 2008, the largest number of voters in American history gave the Democrats their largest share of the presidential vote in 44 years and big majorities in the House and Senate.

Much has been made of the $4 billion spent in the midterm elections, including $140 million of Meg Whitman's own money, but spending, as Ms. Whitman found out, does not equal victory. Sharron Angle spent more per voter than any other candidate—about $97—and still lost.
Glenn Greenwald of Salon and Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC share a lot of views, but the two got into a shouting match over the value of conservative Democrats in the aftermath of the tea party holocaust. Here the two hash out their differences, with a little "West Wing" digestif.
The day after his shellacking, the bruised president offered a sober, tripartite analysis of voters' message.
Washingtonians giggle at the new and the recycled anti-Washington loudmouths coming or coming back to our capital city. There are no outsiders inside the Beltway.
Today on the list: President Obama confirms that his is a Republican health care plan, Noam Chomsky considers "a level of anger ... like nothing I can recall in my lifetime," and a random act of culture that brings a Macy's crowd to its feet.
In his only interview since the GOP rampage, with Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," President Obama was reasonable, analytical, professorial—but also uninspired and uninspiring.
Robert Greenwald and the crew over at Brave New Films have come up with a fun way to handle election hangover.
