Escondido, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2014 -- The body is a complex machine and needs over 40 vitamins, minerals and dietary components for optimal performance. These vitamins and minerals promote the growth of healthy new cells and keep the body balanced. Because it is difficult for the body to absorb these essential nutrients, Diet Doc has manufactured their own painless Vitamin B12 injections, which boosts energy, increases mental alertness and improve overall stamina while dieting.
Vitamin B12 plays a very significant role in keeping the body balanced, breaking down carbohydrates that will be turned into glucose for energy, while also breaking down fats and proteins to keep the nervous system functioning properly. This powerful nutrient also preserves muscle tone in the stomach and intestinal tract, keeps the skin, hair and eyes healthy and protects the heart and nerves by reducing levels of homocysteine, also known as the fight or flight hormone.
When the body becomes deficient in Vitamin B12, patients may experience symptoms of sluggishness, fatigue, depression, scaly skin, red and cracked lips and unwanted weight gain. Although many people take oral Vitamin B12 supplements, they do not reap all of the benefits that this powerful vitamin has to offer because it is water soluble and very quickly excreted in the urine. Replenishing the body with Diet Doc's Vitamin B12 injections enables the vitamin to be absorbed directly into the system, boosting energy levels by jump starting the metabolism and helping dieters avoid the typical dieting side effects while accelerating weight loss.
To ensure that each patient is receiving only the safest and best diet products available on today's market, Diet Doc manufactures their vitamin and mineral supplements in fully licensed, FDA approved pharmacies that are based in the United States. After a simple telephone interview and health evaluation, qualified patients will receive a prescription that is valid for six months that can be easily reordered over the telephone. For added convenience, diet products can be delivered directly to each patient's front door and will include a Certificate of Analysis, performed by a third party laboratory, detailing the quality and quantity of all active ingredients.
Diet Doc has been helping patients nationwide lose weight and look and feel better than ever before for over a decade and has become the leading medically supervised fast weight loss program in the country.

Joshua Polk is a rock & roll songwriter who is well established in the Baton Rouge music scene. He enjoys experimenting with different methods of recording to get the desired sound and feel -- using an old school tape recorder to grab the drum track, for example. Polk also believes in the power of memorable melodies, and as such is influenced by songwriters like Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices) and Paul McCartney. To date he has released four solo albums.
Polk was front man for The Kenmores, a popular punk rock band who played shows in Baton Rouge and toured the southeastern U.S. He also spent time in Los Angeles playing guitar and touring with shoegaze rock band Run Run Run, opening for well- known bands such as The Silversun Pickups.
Currently, Polk is working on a new solo record, fast on the heels of his recent release, Beauty School Dropouts, which was released in April. His next album, yet to be titled, is due to be released August 1st. Also in the works is a split with a local favorite, Childrens Church. His immediate goal is to continue releasing multiple albums per year and to continue playing live shows every couple months, allowing him to share his passion with as many people as possible.

Who Works At Work Any More? Play Instead (Part 2)
These factors have caused us to manufacture and purchase silly things like toilet bowl brushes designed by big name home fashion experts because if there's 18 to choose from, we're often going to buy the one that's thoughtfully crafted, so creativity is a highly sought after talent in the workforce.
Enter playtime again.
While the jury is still out for scientific data regarding play and productivity, it's kind of a common sense thing. If you're happy, you'll be more creative in your work. If you're more creative at work, the company you work for will likely produce a better, more insightful, intuitive product or service and will be more successful overall than the next place full of desk jockeys pushing around TPS reports; so play at work is essential for creative growth and development.
"Business experts agree that we're living in a time when traits like imagination and creativity are of the utmost importance in business. Richard Florida calls it the "creative age," and the aforementioned author, Daniel Pink, has dubbed it the "conceptual age."
"At Remedy Health Media, a health information and technology company just outside Washington, social media manager Stuart Perkins has another theory about why play is critical."
"I've been in fun offices like this and ones that were not as fun, and the retention rates are much higher when you have a few fun things to do around the office," he said, particularly among millenials.
"We have an extremely talented, but fairly younger workforce who expects the office to be more than just a desk and a chair," Perkins said. "My coworkers love having a chance to take mini-breaks and rest their minds before moving onto a new task. Some of our most creative business ideas come from this 'downtime,'" he added.
You're probably waiting for the "but…" statement, and yes there is one. If the playtime isn't utilized from the top down, it won't be utilized at all.
By our nature, we're driven by crowd psychology. The idea that "the behavior of the crowd takes on focus and form based on the input of the individuals who make up the group. Within this framework, people who wish to become part of the existing group will make a choice to identify with the prevailing mindset. In some cases, this may mean minimizing or abandoning behaviors or beliefs that are not in harmony with the majority."
In an economy where job security is perceived as pretty shaky, if the boss doesn't use the slide or take bike rides during break time, why would you? It'll probably make you look lazy right?
That's why the boss has to get it started.
"We have a TV and lounge area. But I'd be afraid of looking unproductive and under-worked if I utilized it," wrote Lauren La Franca in a comment on HLNTV.com. "The rest seem to agree too because the lounge area has been sat on once since it was implemented."
"It's up to management to change that perception," says Craig McAnsh, president of Native Marketing.
"It has been a problem for many employees because they may feel that the idea 'play' is just given lip service by management," he said. "Knowing it's required is the only way this works. And the only way this happens is for senior staff to lead by example. Top down. If you have a ping-pong table, but don't play, your … employees will not play."
So, be a maverick! If you ever want to get paid to play foosball, you've got to tell your boss to read this blog, and do your own research to back it up. You can start out by sounding all educated and worldly with this quote.
"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." – Plato

I'm excited because I just picked up my 26" Hakka W106's from the LBS.
Going to commute home with them slung around my neck like Rambo and mount them myself. Tubeless rims but I got presta-valved tubes with the tires. Hopefully there aren't any "gotchas" with the installation. I've only had the Trek (Liquid 25) since September and I've never even had the wheels off it. (~900 miles now.)

Sleepy Sun, Great American Music Hall, 6/19: This local sextet has been generating tons of buzz on the blog circuit for their raw, high-energy rock sound. Disclaimer for first timers: make sure you know the standard call and return at every Sleepy Sun show, "Let's get weird." It's shouted loud and proud by avid fans, and trust us, the show will probably be just that.

Buffalo, N.Y., October 2, 2013 – The First Niagara Foundation and Volunteers of America of Western New York, Inc. will be working together to implement a financial component to the Step by Step program. Step by Step, an outreach program of Volunteers of America, provides highly structured workshops for women currently serving in the Monroe County and Albion State Correctional Facilities, as well as women in residential treatment programs. Step by Step features workshops designed to provide the skills necessary for women to rebuild their lives, attain self-sufficiency and achieve greater financial independence.
The First Niagara Foundation is providing $10,000 in funding to support and implement the enhanced workshops in the Step by Step program. Sessions will address the women's need to gain skills to stay out of prison, to create a structured family environment and to cultivate self-confidence.
"First Niagara believes everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential," said Suzanne Nasipak Chapman, First Niagara Rochester Market Executive. "This partnership will empower women in need in our community by providing the support and instruction they need to achieve independence and success."
Administrators of the Step by Step Program say that last year alone, they served more than 500 women in the Greater Rochester Area. A 2008 New York State Department of Correctional Services Study (covering State prisoners over a 3-year period) indicates that 82% of Step by Step graduates returned to society with no incident (not re-arrested or re-incarcerated) compared to the New York State average of 70% of women returning to society with no incident. In addition, in 2012 upon completing a Step by Step workshop, 74% of graduates reported an increase in self-esteem, and 89% accomplished an identified goal.
About First Niagara
First Niagara, through its wholly owned subsidiary, First Niagara Bank, N.A., is a multi-state community-oriented bank with approximately 420 branches, approximately $37 billion in assets, $27 billion in deposits, and approximately 6,000 employees providing financial services to individuals, families and businesses across Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Balance Work:
The good news this week is the MP document is being released to the professionals at some point today..which will leave us only two professions (
Agents actually up next, then NTsscratch that - NTs, then Agents)) left until we can start bashing out a version for the test server. This has been in the works for quite a long long time and all of us will be glad to get into the "hands on" act of seeing how this plays out in a live environment when everyone gets a chance to play with it and really get a feel for how it works. I really wish this work had been done 9 years ago. It will definitely take some time to get the implementation done...so please nobody get the impression that this will be coming "Soon". Taking the time to do this right has been worth it in my humble opinion as what we started with and what we have so far are vastly different animals.
Engine Work:
Great news this week is that the new version of the Conan engine was patched to the live servers this week with great results. The team is working hard to remove some last small issues for some users...and when this short period is over they will be HELPING US! The engine being patched to live is a great step in us finally having a stable version to really grab hold of...when we fix issues in this version they will remain fixed...and this is of course VERY exciting to us. Getting the dual-client new engine development environment up and running here has not been easy and is getting close to what we had in Oslo now...I'm looking forward to being able to show some new shots soon. Once the environment is up and running AND we have assistance from the engine team I'm hoping that the speed of this work will pick up significantly. We all know this has been going on too long and we ALL want it to be finished. Hardware mouse for the love of god!
Startup Experience:
Work on the startup experience has been a little slow as we focus on completing the balance design work and stabilize the environment here...but there is a 60+ page document covering off the bare bones of the new experience and what we believe it needs to include to really give players a good start in their first moments in AO. It has been strange to look back on the creation of the startup area and compare it to other products...in Conan the startup experience was the work of multiple versions and years of work...in AO the current island and content were all made over a weekend by a team of new people (Fixx's dialogue was the first thing I ever did for AO). We fully know the importance of this area and are looking forward to implementing our ideas and some good ones that were brought forth in community discussion.
"Other Stuff":
Some other things that are being worked on:
A general "smoothing over" of the key/SL playfield quests:
A lot of these quests were made a long, long time ago and they have not improved with age. The idea is to remove/change any points that do not provide an enjoyable experience. Good examples of this would be unnecessary amounts of pointless running or farming of low % drop items in large numbers.
Open content for Pandemonium:
We spoke a long, long time ago about adding more open challenging content to Pandemonium. We are working on (actually making...right now) a new "Open" boss experience for the area for larger groups to tackle.
New Advertising system:
While not very exciting for anyone it is something that is being worked on. Massive (our previous advertising agent) closed down its operations in December leaving us without any streaming ads of any kind. A new company has been located to provide this service and we are in the process of making their systems work with ours. Again, not very exciting but very business essential work. Before anyone asks the "who sees ads" rules will be the same as before.
Vhab's Amazing In-Game Login and Intern Position Open:
While the lovely and talented Vhab was working with us in Oslo (it was great to have him here and we are very grateful for the time he spent with us) he spent a great deal of time trying to move character selection in-game. It was far from easy and we can't wait to put it in. It will be possible in AO to log-in from the launcher then visually select your character (much like in every other game out there now)...similarly you will be able to camp to the character selection and select a new alt without having to actually fully close the game. Great work and we are really excited about it as it is a feature we have wanted for years. Vhab did such a great job we are currently looking in the community for talented Canadian (sorry...there are laws about this here) junior programmers who would be interested in spending some time with us in the near future. Send me a PM for more information.
Kintaii Edit #1: Speaking of vhab, the guys over at AO Universe recently sat down with him for a quick interview detailing his experiences working with us on the Anarchy Online team recently. The interview even includes a screenshot of the new login screen so I sincerely recommend everyone pop over and check it out! The interview can be found here: http://www.ao-universe.com/viewtopic.php?t=4517
Community Projects:
Docaholic has been working with Genele to give the nano icons for the game a complete overhaul...they look amazing. Now that I am somewhat closer to Doc's location I hope we get a chance to meet him and thank him profusely soon.
sezmra has made some new high-rez versions of armor textures that look great...the MP and Sentinel's armor is attached to this post to show off some of the new goodness. I can't wait to see what sets she gets into next!
Things are looking up! It has been a rough few weeks with moving, illness and frustration for everyone as things were slow but we have come through it stronger than ever. We have a lot on our plates but good progress is being made...this is going to be an exciting year. I can't wait to catch up with a bunch of you at the event this summer where we get to celebrate our 10 years together...I'm going to start honing my pool skills now Who wants some!
Kintaii Edit #2: Don't forget to sign up for our 10th anniversary party by sending in an email to email@example.com! Make sure to send your full name, your character name, and your preferred t-shirt size. A thread will be popping up in the near future with more information, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for more news here in Community Corner soon!
Have a great weekend everyone!

(The following article appeared in the September 16 issue of The New York Daily News.
By Wayne Coffee
IT was 1 o'clock in the morning and the rain was coming hard, and Ed Cammon was weary and woebegone, his bunker gear caked with cement and ash, his spirit weighted down by nothing that could be sprayed off with a hose.
Cammon is 57, a grandfather from Queens, a man with 38 years as a New York firefighter and 31 as an assistant swimming coach at Fordham University. He was trudging up West Street in his bulky black suit early Friday morning, after nearly 12 hours of hand-and-knee combat in a place that used to be called the World Trade Center and is now known as Ground Zero, the horrific hub of the worst terrorist attack in American history.
Ed Cammon has been one of the many firefighters who have aided in rescue efforts at the World Trade Center since day one.
Alongside his brothers at Engine Co. 36 of East 125th St., Cammon sifted through the wreckage, jagged stumps and twisted beams and the detritus of thousands of lives. It was impossible to fathom what had happened, two mighty towers morphing into one sick scrap heap. He dug on, with his hands. The mountain in front of him and all the other rescue workers was 10 stories high in places. Nearby was a burned-out carcass of a flattened ambulance.
"It looked like a Tinker Toy," Cammon said. He prayed to find somebody who was alive. He only found parts, legs and feet and torsos and hands. The stench was almost too much to bear. He put the pieces of human beings into 6 1/2-foot long canvas body bags and zipped them shut. He kept going. They all did.
It was Cammon's second tour at Ground Zero. It may have been worse than the first, Tuesday night, 12 hours after the hijacked planes slammed into the towers.
"I've never seen anything like it in my entire life," Cammon said. "It's devastating. I don't think anyone, no matter who they are, can describe what this is like." He shook his head.
Back in the firehouse, Cammon was ending a 24-hour tour. He was wearing blue Fire Department shorts and a matching T-shirt, black socks and a 36 Engine hat over his balding gray head. The kitchen was thick with commotion, firefighters drinking coffee and eating bagels and danish.
Another firefighter, Tim Moynihan, just starting his tour, put on a white hard hat with "Bleep You Bin Laden" on the back. It got good reviews. The guys were talking about the vast outpouring of love and kindness, of unity, everywhere they look: the ironworkers who walked off their regular jobs to be here, the rescue people who have come from Texas and North Carolina and everywhere else, the restaurants that are closed and may be going out of business but keep delivering meals by the hundreds to the cops and firemen and rescue crews.
"This tragedy has brought out something in people that's incredible," Cammon said.
Later in the afternoon, he would be poolside in the Bronx, for a preseason Fordham swimming practice. It's work he loves, his chlorinated catharsis. "With all that's going on, it's just tremendously positive," Cammon said. "I go out of one world, and completely into another." He loves the teaching, helping kids "get there and back as fast as they can."
There is no such clear-cut answer in his day job, and his regular life. Like so many others involved in sports, from part-time assistant to millionaire professional, Ed Cammon's week encompassed rage and rubble, confusion and numbness, grief and relief — the kind you feel when you find out a fellow firefighter has gotten out.
The guys at 36 Engine still have lots of dear friends missing. They will keep going back until they find them.
"That's what we do," Cammon said.
Pain is pouring everywhere now, in sports and out. The TV images keep coming; they look like something from a bad movie but hit like a grenade in the heart. People grapple with what to do, how to feel, how to help.
Ed Cammon is no different, and when he and his brothers are on hands and knees, digging for life and hope, he can't disagree with Curtis Martin, running back of the Jets.
"It's impossible to be normal," Martin said.
"It's normal to have a time of mourning. It's normal to weep."

Seth Rollins as a heel
Rumors are floating around right now that there is a major difference of opinions backstage on how Seth Rollins should be booked as a heel champion. Triple H wants to keep going the old school route by having Rollins be a cowardly champion, much like how Ric Flair used to be. Vince McMahon, however, wants Rollins to be booked as a stronger champion with more credibility with the fans.

WWE Network foreign subscribers
Back when it was announced that the WWE Network was going to start being aired internationally, some in the internet wrestling community were absolutely certain that the company would rope in millions of subscribers. Vince McMahon was a bit more realistic, especially since he based his opinions on numbers and statistics. He announced earlier today that they have picked up a little less than 200,000 foreign subscribers. Numbers won't be much higher.

Kale chips
They're crisp, green, salty, taste freakily like salted potato crisps - and they're made from kale, a member of the cabbage family renowned for its high nutrients and celebrity status. You need amazingly little olive oil, so they come almost guilt-free. Add grated parmesan, black pepper or Japanese chilli sprinkles, and serve with a drink, a soup, or an eggy weekend brunch.
The age of kale: Kale chips are powerhouses of nutrients and vitamins. Photo: Edwina Pickles
200g curly kale
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1. Heat the oven to 140C. Wash the kale and pat dry.
2. Strip the leaves off the stems, and tear into rough bite-sized pieces. Arrange in a single layer, not too crowded, on two baking trays lined with baking paper (you may need to do two batches).
3. Drizzle with the olive oil and massage the oil into the leaves until coated.
4. Scatter with sea salt, then bake until crisp but not browned (keep checking after 10 minutes, it could take up to 15) and serve.
Serving suggestion: If you're a salt-and-vinegar fan, toss the chips when hot, straight out of the oven, with one teaspoon vinegar and sea salt - they're amazing.

We reiterate overweight rating on Tata Motors and raise target price of R480 (earlier R445) as we roll forward SOTP valuation to FY16e. We value the JLR business at a 4x Ebitda (trailing 12 months to FY16e) with an unchanged multiple for the domestic business of 6x FY16e Ebitda. We see volume growing at a 14% CAGR for JLR in FY13-16e, led by a strong global luxury car market and market share gains. Margins to remain stable as well in FY15-16e.
Tata Motors offers defensive strength to investors in continued weak domestic conditions. While upside may be limited in the near term after a 30% rise in the past six months, the shares still appear the most resilient in Indias auto sector in the near term, with robust long-term growth potential. Consensus already factors in a moderation in Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) growth and margins in 2014, leaving little downside risk, in our view. We expect JLR to benefit not only from strong industry growth, but also from market share gains driven by an impressive product launch pipeline.
We expect the global premium market to grow 6% in 2014, post strong 8% growth in 2013. China and the US are now 45% of the global premium market. For 2014, we expect to see not only China and the US remain on a high growth track, but also a pick-up in Europe, where prices should begin to improve.
JLR could see competition rise in the smaller SUV segment in 2014 (Mercedes Benz GLA, Porsche Macan set for launch), but the segment is still expanding faster than the overall market. The real battleground, in our view, is in the 3m-plus luxury compact sedan segment.

PHOENIX (AP) — Some people are calling him "the quad god" because of his reputation for saving infants in multiple births.
From all over the country, women pregnant with more than one baby move to the Phoenix metropolitan area to receive care from Dr. John Elliott.
He has delivered multiples from Russia, Mexico and Greece and has published 24 articles and book chapters about his work with triplets and above.
Elliott has delivered two sets of sextuplets, 102 sets of quadruplets and more than 700 sets of triplets.
Last month, Elliott delivered his 14th set of quintuplets.
The Arizona Republic (http://bit.ly/QW6kCa) says the babies constituted the second set of quints to be delivered at Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa.

Desegregation: United States v. Texas
United States v. Texas, 321 F. Supp. 1043 (E.D. Tex. 1970),
supplemented by 330 F. Supp. 235 (E.D. Tex. 1971)
In November 1970, Judge Justice ordered the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to assume responsibility for desegregating Texas public schools. The ruling in United States v. Texas (also referred to as Civil Order 5281) applied to the entire Texas public school system, affecting over 2.5 million children.
In July 1971, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmedJudge Justice's decision. (United States v. Texas, 447 F.2d 441 (5th Cir., 1971)).However, school districts that were under or would later fall under the desegregation orders of other federal courts were removed from Judge Justice's jurisdiction. Even with this modification, the order applied to over two million students in more than 1,000 school districts.
John Tyler High School, Tyler, Texas
Judge Justice's order had far-reaching effects on the Texas public school system and required scrutiny of transfers between districts, prohibited discrimination in extracurricular activities and personnel practices, and mandated yearly reviews of districts with high and low minority populations.

Willis has a wistful look with his deep set eyes and drooping tusks. A marvelous 14" plush walrus of dark brown velvety plush with wrinkly skin folds and dark blue-grey snout and flippers. We love his whiskers and all the detailing that make Willis a walrus worthy of hugs. He does look a lot like the Warren Walrus Puppet from the same company. However, Willis does not open his mouth and he seems to be dreaming of something. 3 & up.

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System is a network of 28 estuarine areas — places where freshwater from the land mixes with saltwater from the sea — established across the nation for long-term research, education, and coastal stewardship. The reserves are a partnership between NOAA and the coastal states and territories. NOAA's Office for Coastal Management is responsible for administrating the reserve system. Each reserve is managed on a day-to-day basis by a lead state agency or university, with input from local partners. The mission of the reserves is to practice and promote coastal and estuarine stewardship through innovative research and education, using a system of protected areas.
The reserve system was established by Section 315 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to be a network of estuaries that represent different biogeographical regions of the United States. Currently, reserves are located in 22 U.S. coastal states and Puerto Rico. The sites within the reserve system protect more than 1.3 million acres of coastal land and waters from Alaska to Florida. Reserves range in size from 366,100-acre Kachemak Bay NERR, Alaska, to 573-acre Old Woman Creek NERR, Ohio.
Reserve staff work with local communities and regional groups to address natural resource management issues, such as stormwater runoff, habitat restoration, and invasive species. Through integrated research and training, the reserves help communities develop strategies to deal successfully with these coastal resource issues. The NERRS Science Collaborative, a new partnership between NOAA and the University of New Hampshire, puts reserve-based science to work for coastal communities grappling with coastal management issues. The program brings community members into the research process so their perspective can inform the research design, implementation and the application of the project results to a particular problem.
Estuarine Reserves serve as living laboratories for on-site staff, visiting scientists and graduate students who study coastal ecosystems. In this capacity, the reserves serve as platforms for long-term research and monitoring and as reference sites for comparative studies on coastal topics such as species management, habitat conservation and restoration, and ecosystem dynamics. In an effort to understand and track long-term changes in estuaries and coastal areas, the estuarine reserves established the System Wide Monitoring program (SWMP) in 1995. SWMP collects a variety of data, including water quality, weather conditions, and habitat changes. The information collected by SWMP has provided many coastal communities with the tools to address and manage resource management problems.
Estuarine reserves serve as "living classrooms" for educators, students, and the public. The reserves take a local approach in advancing estuary literacy and generating meaningful experiences for all kinds of people interested in learning about, protecting, and restoring estuaries. For example, reserves offer classes for K-12 students; support teachers through professional development programs in coastal and estuary education; and provide public education events.
The Coastal Training Program at reserves provides up-to-date scientific information and skill building opportunities to individuals who are responsible for making decisions that affect coastal resources. Through this program, estuarine reserves can ensure that coastal decision-makers have the knowledge and tools they need to address critical resource management issues of concern to local communities.
Reserves protect and conserve 1.3 million acres of coastal and estuarine habitat, while also facilitating improved stewardship of coastal habitats outside of the reserve boundaries. The estuarine reserves take an approach to stewardship that uses the best available science to inform the restoration and maintenance of healthy, productive and resilient ecosystems. Volunteers have been instrumental to the stewardship efforts of estuarine reserves. On average volunteers have donated 100,000 hours a year on a variety of projects including beach clean-ups, restoration projects, educational tours and monitoring programs.
Estuaries are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world and are home to many different plants and animals. The reserves are designed to protect these areas and the species that inhabit them. Estuaries are also crucial spawning areas for at least two-thirds of the nation's commercial fish and shellfish. Wetlands associated with estuaries buffer uplands from flooding.
Estuaries are important parts of our lives – connected to our economy and culture. Estuaries support the U.S. economy in the form of seafood sales, jobs, and recreational activities such as fishing, bird watching and boating. Estuaries offer cultural importance to Americans because they are often city and trade centers, are an important source of food, and have a long history of use by Native Americans.
Did you know?
Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea. Estuaries are home to unique plant and animal communities that have adapted to brackish water—a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater.

Not just a gig
I appreciated Janie B. Cheaney's essay on Handel bringing eternity into time with his glorious celebration of the gospel ("Gospel in surround-sound," Dec. 14). As a public-school orchestra teacher, it was my privilege to play double bass for many years in an annual community performance of Messiah. It was a thrill to match "licks" with professional musicians from a nearby city. Unfortunately, the glory in the music is only for those with "ears [read: 'heart'] to hear." For me, the performance was worship. For most of the other string players it was just another gig. - Eric W. Jarboe, North Vernon, Ind.
Clean up
Thanks for Cal Thomas's column, "Peaceful? Prove it" (Dec. 14). Muslims really need to clean up their act. And to Mr. Weyrich's remarks? Amen. Islam is extremely tolerant of violence. Those Muslims who want peace really should urge the leaders of their faith to do likewise. But even better would be if the Muslims would see the real reason for all the violence: a lack of faith in Jesus Christ. - Emily Brown, 14, Wills Point, Texas
Regarding "The God of gifts" (Dec. 14): The analogy between the gift God gave us at Christmas and the consumer-driven, materialistic, gift-giving celebration Christmas has become falls flat. The birth of Christ was a gift to desperate, helpless sinners doomed for everlasting destruction. Christ was the only thing we truly needed, given when we had no hope to provide it for ourselves and no way to repay Him for such a priceless gift. In America, most Christmas gift-givers use their finite resources to give what the receiver does not need but could afford, with the realistic expectation of some form of reciprocation. I suggest that we give the money we might have spent on gifts to charities serving the millions of destitute, persecuted Christians throughout the world. That would emulate the Gift-giver of that first Christmas morning. - Rebekah De Nooy, Grand Rapids, Mich.
The fine print
Your Nov. 30 cover story, "Look (out) for the union label," did an excellent job revealing how union officials harass and stonewall employees of faith when they object to union affiliation. However, I would like to clarify that neither of the two landmark Supreme Court cases you cite, Chicago Teachers Union vs. Hudson and Communications Workers of America vs. Beck, dealt specifically with the rights of religious objectors. In Hudson the court stated, among other things, that unions must provide objecting public employees an advance reduction of forced union dues used for politics and other nonbargaining activities. Beck established similar rights for workers in the private sector who labor under the National Labor Relations Act but are not protected by a Right to Work law. Workers who claim their Beck rights (but do not assert religious objections) may still be required to pay certain union fees. But Title VII allows employees who assert a religious objection to being forced to join or support a union to divert their entire union fee to a mutually-agreed-upon charity. - Stefan Gleason Vice President, National Right to Work Foundation, Springfield, Va.
I have worked in the Middle East since 1995 and wish to note that Israeli school children are indoctrinated with anti-Arab sentiments. In the Old Cities of Jerusalem and Hebron, the words "Kill all Arabs" are scrawled in English, Hebrew, and Arabic over hundreds of Palestinian shops and homes. It is no accident that many evangelical Christians who work with both Palestinians and Israelis speak out against the pro-Israel propaganda in our nation and our churches. American Christians need to look beyond this propaganda and assert that God loves Palestinians and Israelis equally and that both should have their human rights respected. - Kathleen Kern, Webster, N.Y.
Joel Belz, in his Dec. 7 column "Why pro-Israel?" misquoted World Vision's Serge Duss as asking, at a Washington discussion, "What are you going to do about the Palestinians?" Mr. Duss actually asked, "What are you going to do about the Palestinian Christians?" Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and WORLD magazine regret any confusion caused by the erroneous phone number listed in the RZIM ad of Nov. 23 (p. 27). RZIM can be reached at www.rzim.org.
Thanks for the visit
Thank you to Dick Armey for his service to our country ("The House is not his home," Dec. 14). I appreciated his unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and godly principles as he lived out his life in the public square during his years of service. I'm encouraged to have "visited" with him through WORLD's cover story, glad to share a moment with a kindred spirit, and pleased that he may be freed up to spread salt in the arena of public discourse. However, there is a twinge of nostalgic sadness, as he won't be there for us anymore. - J.P. Fuhr, Newark, Del.
When you mentioned that Mr. Armey plans to remain active in public policy advocacy, did you realize he has suggested he might work with the ACLU? What's up with that? I regarded him as one of the "good guys" on Capitol Hill. He should not now start working for the "enemy." - Mike Southerland, Nashville, Tenn.
Deceived, flattered
I appreciated Joel Belz's comments in "Battle fatigue" (Dec. 14). We Christians need to realize that the Republican Party is not our "God-sent." Through deception and flattery the Republican Party continually seduces the Christian right. Once they have the election, they put us in the closet until needed again. Mr. Belz excuses our politicians in that they have a tough job in trying to please all the advocacy groups. I have to ask why Christians are voting for candidates who are trying to please men over God. - Ross McElvain, Ava, Mo.
Thank you for consistently "telling it like it is" rather than what is politically correct. I thought Cal Thomas's column on Islam proposed the most sensible solution I have seen on how to deal with the conflict between Christianity and Islam in our culture. - Larry Harkins, Penfield, N.Y.
While I appreciate WORLD's ability to review a Pearl Jam album without the mandatory respectfulness that the secular world seems to require, as a Pearl Jam fan I still disagree with the sweepingly negative tone of the review of Riot Act (Bestsellers, Dec. 14). Pearl Jam's fault lies not with its accurate depiction of human frailty but with its inability to insert Christianity as the answer. I think Riot Act is less the droning sale of depression than an honest assessment of their own beliefs set to excellent arena rock. - Justin Reese, Canton, Texas
Other views
As one of the participants at the "Evangelicals and Israel" meeting who were "not cautious in expressing their loyalty to Israel," I would like to offer an additional perspective ("Why pro-Israel?" Dec. 7). As president of Christians for Israel, I believe in the continuing validity of God's covenants to Israel and the Jewish people. As I recall, Serge Duss did not ask what to do about Palestinians generally but specifically, "What are you going to do about the Palestinian Christians?" My "limp" reply was, "That's a very legitimate question." We of Christians for Israel have supported, financially and otherwise, Arab pastors throughout Israel, including some of the most besieged (by the Palestinian Authority) residents of Beit Jella. - James M. Hutchens, Great Falls, Va.
Could part of the reason we Americans have been so blessed perhaps be that God chose to raise up a friend, an ally of great influence and clout for Israel? Could our continued grace be the outflowing of God's ancient promise to bless those who bless His people? Just a thought. - Joanne Couture, Lombard, Ill.

Alex Elkins' story is 'movie-making material'
STILLWATER — Alex Elkins was easy to spot among the 250 hopefuls trying out for the Blinn College football team two summers ago.
Coach Ronny Feldman first noticed Elkins' 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame. Then, there was his 40-yard dash time of 4.5 seconds.
But when the football drills started, Feldman noticed Elkins had no idea what to do.
"He was kind of like a lost puppy," said Feldman, who was Blinn's offensive coordinator at the time. "He didn't know which way to go or anything else, but he got there fast."
Elkins was lost because he had never played football before. Rugby was his sport growing up.
But after graduating from Keller High School near Dallas, Elkins was looking for a college and decided to make the nearly four-hour drive to Brenham to give the open tryout at Blinn a shot.
Feldman and the rest of the Blinn coaches could not help but notice Elkins' natural speed and athleticism. Then, he showed his toughness when he popped another player during 7-on-7 drills. That was enough for Elkins to get an invite to fall camp as a non-scholarship player.
Two years later, Elkins is a starting outside linebacker for Oklahoma State, the No. 2 team in the BCS standings.
"Movie-making material, isn't it?" OSU defensive coordinator Bill Young said.
Elkins was a project when he returned to Blinn for two-a-days. But the good news? He did not need to have his old habits broken from high school or youth football. And because of his rugby background, he certainly wasn't afraid of contact.
But he needed to learn what a gap assignment was. And how to drop back into pass coverage. And proper tackling technique. And everything else required to play linebacker.
Elkins was eager to take that coaching and earned a scholarship out of camp.
"It was good to see how he took off with it and how he learned and how he progressed," Feldman said.
In 2009, Blinn won the NJCAA championship with future Heisman winner and No. 1 NFL draft pick Cam Newton as one of Elkins' teammates.
After that season, OSU linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer caught word of Elkins. And Young remembers Elkins making an early impression when he and Spencer went to watch the linebacker play in person for the first time.
"Gosh, opening kickoff, he was the guy you wanted to look at," Young said. "He went blowing down the field, ran right through about two or three blockers and made the tackle."
That type of play sold Young and Spencer. Elkins' back story sold OSU coach Mike Gundy.
"As soon as I found all that out, I already liked the kid," Gundy said.
Elkins is still green in his first year in Stillwater, Spencer said. But his athletic ability, effort and instinct have continued to impress, helping him become a staple at the outside linebacker spot opposite Shaun Lewis.
That aggressive, almost reckless, style of play has shown throughout the season.
In the Cowboys' opener against Louisiana-Lafayette, he fought through a large pile to recover a fumble. Against Kansas State two weeks ago, he read an option play perfectly and clobbered Wildcat running back John Hubert following the pitch. He ranks third on the team with 59 tackles and has rapidly progressed throughout the season.
"He's kind of a lost art," Gundy said. "The old-fashioned tough guy. (He'll) play hurt, run into you, tackle you (and he) doesn't run his mouth."
Said OSU defensive tackle Nigel Nicholas: "He hasn't been in the game long enough to not have missed assignments, but when he does, he's flying 100 percent, so it makes up for everything."
Because of OSU's policy that does not make first-year players available to the media, Elkins can't yet reflect on his brief, yet unique, football career that has brought him to OSU.
But Feldman said Elkins is an example of a "good junior college story" about a guy who was unsure about his future and used football to help him get to a Division I school.
And Spencer recognizes that Elkins appreciates the opportunity to play for OSU, which should only help him continue to grow.
"He doesn't feel like he's entitled," Spencer said. "Every day he kind of comes in and has his lunch pail and his hard hat, and he just wants to go to work. He wants to be good, and he knows he's not as good as he can be.
"If he's hungry like that every day, he's got a great future ahead of him."

PITTSBURGH — When Paul Goldschmidt returned to the dugout after his ninth-inning home run, a few teammates congratulated him on his accomplishment. That's how Goldschmidt said he discovered he had reached the 30-homer mark.
What mattered more, he said, was that the Diamondbacks were en route to a 15-5 shellacking of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon, their offense showing signs of life on the road after a blah affair the previous night.
The Diamondbacks recorded 20 hits, tying a season high. They scored a season-high 15 runs, the most allowed in a game this year by the Pirates, who entered the day with the majors' best ERA. And they again hammered an opposing lefty, something they've done with regularity for nearly four months now.
But Goldschmidt's individual feat? He politely discussed it without really discussing it, as is his way.
"It's good," he said. "I'm glad we won. Rather have a homer than a strikeout. I don't really look at numbers. But it's nice to get a homer but I'm just glad we won the game.
"Obviously, you like to play well and get hits, but I don't think just because it's a round number or whatever it is — there's still a lot of the year left so I'll just keep trying to have good at-bats and try to win some games."
In the season's opening month, there was no team more inept against left-handed pitching than the Diamondbacks, who hit just .203 with a .593 OPS, the worst marks in the major leagues.
But since then, few teams have been better. Entering Saturday, the Diamondbacks since May 1 had the second-best average (.281) and fourth-best OPS (.755) in the majors against lefties.
They kept it going Saturday by punishing the Pirates' Jeff Locke, a left-hander who had been one of the league's better starters this season and even earned a spot on the National League All-Star team.
In the first inning, the Diamondbacks loaded the bases with two walks and a single before getting what appeared to be an accidental, opposite-field double from Wil Nieves to drive in two runs. Nieves appeared to think he had hit a foul ball rather than shooting it inside the first-base line, which is what had actually happened.
They tied a club record two innings later by racking up seven consecutive hits, the last of which finally brought Pirates manager Clint Hurdle from the dugout to remove the struggling Locke with the score 8-0.
"I think one of the reasons is he was falling behind and had to make a pitch," Martin Prado said. "We took advantage of that.
"I feel like this is the beginning of what we should do from now on. I feel like everybody contributed (Saturday). We're hoping we can keep having this kind of offense all the way through until the end of the season. It's going to be hard and to be realistic it's not going to be like this every day. But the way we're preparing for the games, it seems like everyone is having good at-bats."
The Pirates made it interesting. They cut it to 8-5 before loading the bases in the sixth, but lefty Joe Thatcher struck out Neil Walker to end the threat.
The Diamondbacks tacked on seven runs combined in the eighth and ninth innings.
"People are going to look at the score and think it was a blowout, but it was far from that," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "That's a good team over there and they kept coming at us."
Diamondbacks 15, Pirates 5
Recap: The Diamondbacks' offense erupted for a season-high-tying 20 hits — 10 of them coming against All-Star left-hander Jeff Locke — in a smothering of the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on Saturday.
Martin Prado led the way with four hits, including perhaps the biggest hit of the game, a three-run homer off Locke to cap a six-run third inning that gave the Diamondbacks an 8-0 lead.
Escape artist: When lefty Joe Thatcher entered the game in the sixth inning, it was the second time the Diamondbacks had asked him to escape a bases-loaded jam in his two-plus weeks on the team.
As he did earlier this month in Boston, Thatcher came through, getting the switch-hitting Neil Walker to chase a slider in the dirt for strike three.
Counting two appearances he made before being traded away from the San Diego Padres, Thatcher is 4 for 4 in escaping bases-loaded situations without allowing an inherited run to score.
Big inning: The Diamondbacks tied a franchise record in the third inning by collecting seven consecutive hits, the fourth time they've done that in franchise history.
All of the hits came off Locke, who hadn't allowed more than four runs in any start this season but was charged with eight runs in 2 2/3 innings.
Breaking out: The Diamondbacks' Didi Gregorius was just 5 for 44 (.114) in his past 13 games, but he reached base four times Saturday, collecting three hits and an intentional walk and lining out in his other at-bat.
"He's been getting better at understanding what he has to work on," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "I watched his (batting practice Saturday) and it was real good and he took it into the game."
View from the press box: The early innings were proof that Trevor Cahill can still be the effective sinkerballer he was for the Diamondbacks last season and the Oakland A's for years before that. But the third inning showed that he still has things to work on, namely finding a way to be consistent. Whether it's endurance or focus or something else, Cahill has to find a way to maintain his effectiveness deep into games.
