mindset of catholicism
A lot of this has to do with the earlier Catholic Charismatic Movement as promoted by Catholic Philosophers (Ralph Martin, etc) in the 1970s. (Ron Sider, Tom Sine, and Tony Campolo were a few of the Old Hands). But Katherine Kuhlman and the Charismatic Conference in Kansas City (back in 1977) is really what kicked this off.
Some have rightly understood much older links to this, tracing them back to Norman Grubb (in his later life) and his Wink of Faith (false self-deification movement), and through the work of his brother who ran British Intelligence for a very long time. This would encompass the work of Henrietta Mears and her 5 proteges (including bill Bright) and those under the Tutelage of William Branham and Ern Baxter with Bob Mumford. These movements coalesced under the suppposed separate Streams of the Kansas City Prophets (Mike Bickle, Rick Joyner, John Paul Jackson [interpreter of omens] (daystar), and Bob Jones. These were mentored by Paul Cain. The other stream was led by C. Peter Wagner, and McGavran through Weiner and WYAM, and their work at Fuller, Wheaton and in MIssiology. The theology for the movement was laid down by the Lausanne Cttee (known as LCWE) through the Billy Graham Group, who have never found a Catholic Cardinal or above, that they would not embrace. (we wont spend much time here delving into connections between the Club of Rome and the Billy Graham group. That would be through the Rev. Donald Hoke, who is one of the 3 incorporators of the Billy Graham Association...but...that would be telling...)
Catherine Graham of the Washington Post, Lindsey Graham of Carolina, Bob Graham of Florida, or Billy Graham, they are all Grahams, and they are all fostering doctrines which are co-opted. That is why Roman Catholics are turned away from the Biblical Text at Billy Graham crusades and forced intstead to reconcile BACK TO the Vatican through their local archdiocese. (do your own research).
The other part of the theological work had to be laid down TEXTUALLY, through versions that would either depart or alter the actual words and content of the New Testament. THAT work was handled through WYCLIFF Bible Translators, and Townsend, who was mentored (and overwatched his whole career by Eugene Nida, who was a Vatican operative. Eugene Nida formed the United Bible Societies back in 1938, as a front for the Anti-Reformation German Bible Society which had been nazified (and never recovered, though it had previously been corrupted through both Kittel and Nestle).
The works through the Wycliff Bible Society were altered in conformity with Vatican texts, which Eugene Nida made sure was the case. Wycliff versions not only conform to Codex Vaticanus, (historically rejected during the Reformation as a false manuscript__read the detailed work of Professor Hoskier) many wycliff version soon after publications, find subsequent editions have apocryphal books inserted into them. This happens with the funds sent in to wycliff by evangelicals who have no idea that their funds are going to promote Roman catholic altered versions of the BIble all over the world in outlying tribes and areas where others cannot reach. In this manner, evangelicals are litteraly paying for the conversion of these tribes, to the Vatican... so much for Berean studies, study to show yourself approved, and seek discernmnent...Cameron Townsend would be so proud, along with Eugene Nida. Not to worry, since Kim Clement and Patricia King, Mike Bickle and others will continue the work to merge syncretistic Zohar-Talmudic theosophy in with the new Versions, in order to present themselves to the new Christ as a living sacrifice, that is until Bill Hammon and Rebecca Wagner and Rick Joyner unite in their version of Joel's Army. This will build on the work established by Charles Capps, Ken Haggin, and Ken Copeland, all promoters of the Occult through E.W.Kenyon and William Branham, (Lest not forget Christ for the nations, whose founder was often pictured with Branham).
This Army will be an army only those soldiers (men, women, transgenics, and transhumans will all be sporting a shiny mark on their right hand or forehead as they make war on the redeemed saints, according to them)...
Nida (a follower of Westcott-hort) had already formally entered into a Concordat with the Vatican through the United Bible Societies back in 1966, when the UBS became the front line publishers of the Greek Text used in all protestant seminaries around the world, and it still is today. Nida continued his work through both Wycliff and the United Bible Societies. One of the other 5 board members was Maria Martini, also known as Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Rome (though he later held a preparatory post in Jerusalem, his last post).
Carlo Martini also was in charge of all of the training of all Bishop of Rome, in Rome, as head of the Pontifical Institute of Rome, at the Vatican.
Well, if evangelicals have Roman Bibles, with Roman alterations, made by Roman theologians, mentored and guided by Roman-trained theologians...then where is the mystery about why and how Evangelicals are being seduced straight back to the Vatican...?
The latest was that Rick Joyner (a Kansas City Prophet under Wimber and Paul Cain) had joined the Roman Catholic Knights of Malta.
Who is in doubt about where this is all going ???
The Vatican term for conversion to Roman Catholicism, (which they incorrectly assert as their brand of salvation) is called Evangelization, in contrast to the standard definition of Biblical Eternal Life between man and God through Jesus Christ as the one and only mediator in accordance with the New Testament, which is called evangelism (when it is shared with others).
The Biblical understanding of Evangelism as the New Testament defines it, which is the transmission of the words of Christ and his message, is NOT at all the same as conversion to the Vatican Canon law, which the popes now call
Evangelism is the propagation of the gospel of faith in Jesus Christ alone, through Christ Alone, plus nothing.
Evangelization is conversion to the false doctrines of Vatican Roman Catholicism. It is a system of slavery offered as salvation through
good works, incorrectly declared as meritorious.
Those who fail to stand for something will fall for anything, and evangelicals have stood for mostly nothing for many decades now.
Each remains accountable, speaking of milstone around the necks of those who allowed these things under their own churches, I am glad to not be in their shoes...
Keep seeking truth...

Knowledge or spiritual deception
Its not simply that Evangelical leaders are following the path to the Vatican. That is true, as the video explains.
But not to be missed is the fact that the Vatican today is a City-State, which has the power to coin the Money of Europe. That has vast implications for the coming Globalist system of the cashless society, where all will need the mark on their right hand or forehead.
Interesting that the Antichrist will be in Charge of Europe, and that the Vatican is NOT expecting to be raptured, but is rather instructing followers that they will be around to usher in a new period of peace with Christ returning.
These implications are profound for all, even for Americans. The recent Head of NSA was a Roman Catholic, the Head of the Supreme Court (Roberts) is a Roman Catholic, and many in Washington are part of Opus Dei and other romanist organizations.
Evangelical leaders have traded truth for a crown of temporal power, and the spiritual implications for average Christians, Evangelicals and Roman Catholics are significant.
This is worth your time.

The path by which many evangelicals will reach and convert to Rome
Keep up the real work, Mr Bennett
For those who are interested in spiritual depth and personal spiritual growth, a few other books may be of real help to you. [ Free in all formats, including PDF and Kindle]
For the issues of Today's church, a few works about the Modern dangers of some of the excesses found in many the Charismatic or other groups may inform you about the origins, the roots, the theology and the implications of some of these new streams of spirituality, such as:
[ Anointing - or Apostasy ? The Latter Rain Legacy by Charles Graves]
[ Latter Rain (and other Branham inspired charismatic ) movement by Jewel van der Merwe) ]
[ A Planned Deception, the staging of a New Age Messiah) ]
(or see the Historic perspetive on who is the real Messiah)
[ Who is the Messiah proved from the Ancient Scriptures) ]
[ The Affiliation of New Evangelicals with Apostasy]
[ What is Apostasy by M de Semlyen]
[ A LITTLE HISTORY - [ Truth about ] The Shepherding Movement]
[ Problems with the Sacred Name movement ]
(( Please note that NOT ALL Charismatic or Pentecostal groups or churches are bad or teach errant doctrine.
[some change or improve 4 the better].
. However it is important to check on the details of where you worship, fellowship and learn, so that you can be sure that you are receiving sound doctrine (Titus
and not those in Tim 4: 3-4). ))
For the history of Biblical teachings, (also known as Doctrine), some of the works of George Stanley Faber (and others) may be of encouragement.
[ The difficulties of infidelity (1835) – GSF- George Stanley Faber ]
[ peculiarities of the Latin church evinced to be untenable – GSF ]
[ A practical treatise on the ordinary operations of the Holy Spirit (1814) – GSF ]
[ The new life in Christ Jesus ]
For those interested in the deeper background of the Old Testament scripture [ keep in mind that 40% to 60% of the New Testament is the Old Testament requoted]. Everything done in the New Testament is still being done in relation to the Old Testament. ( Note: Those who know almost nothing about the Old Testament section of the Bible would do well to start reading and re-reading both in the book of Psalms and the book of Proverbs).
[ A Treatise On The Origin Of Expiatory Sacrifice (1827) – GSF]
[ The Temple, its ministry and services as they were at the time of Jesus Christ]
[ The hope of Israel [microform] what is it (MAURO)]
The issue of Bible versions still remains popular and a subject for study:
[ The English Revisers' [Wescott - Hort] Greek Text - Shown to be Unauthorized, Except by false [errant] Egyptian Copies Discarded]
[ The traditional text of the Holy Gospels vindicated and established]
[ The books of the Old and New Testaments proved to be true, accurate and canonical, and their verbal inspiration maintained]
[ The evidence and authority of divine revelation – 01 – Haldane ]

--- concerning the Apocrypha --- (see also the section under versions, since the issue of versions [ which version of the OT – NT to use] also involves the issue of which books belong in the Bible [called Canonization]. Many books on versions therefore also deal with the issue of which books belong in the Bible, or which ones do not ).
The issues of the printing of the Apocrypha has been somewhat addressed in the following works:
For those interested in the issues concerning the Apocrypha (declared even by Jerome to not be part of scripture), the following books may give you some information and historic information:
[ Vindications (about BFBS) of the Proceedings of the Bible Society Concerning the Apocrypha]
[ Revealed: the conduct of the directors of the British and Foreign Bible Society [ BFBS ] concerning the Apocrypha]
[ A Plea for the [Inspiration and] Canon of Scripture]
[ Statement of the Bible Society concerning the Apocrypha]
Other works about Church History may be interesting:
[ Evidence of Holy Scripture and the Eary Church, Against the Invocation of Saints, Angels, and Mary]
For those interested in Current Events (nwo) , the work of Attorney C Cumbey may be of interest
[ Hidden Dangers [to your body and actual soul] of the New Age movement]
(Note: No, if you ignore the problem, it still will not go away ).

This is the normal principle of Karaism. They state that they pay unbounded reverence to the Written Law of God, contained in the Old Testament. They utterly reject what is called the Oral Law, and is now contained in the Talmud. This is an interesting contrast to what passes for traditional Orthodox Judaism, which is very different from simply following the Old testament. This is not what orthodox Judaism is these days.
Today it has degenerated mostly into occult talmudic Judaism with the constant study of the Talmudic occultism [ which seems to have a rather close resemblance to much material found in The Two Babylons by Hislop] . In the same way that those in Islam should compare the characteristics of Allah with those of Almighty God, those who are Othodox talmudic occultic Rabbis should be willing to compare their worship of their "First Cause" with the God of the Old Testament.

There are many
. here. If you are deceived or led astray, it is only your fault and you are the one to blame. We are each responsible
. our own spiritual path, and the information and learning we chose to epose ourselves to, or deny or ignore or postpone. Like everything else, your spiritual connection and walk with God is what You make of it. The Bible is filled with information.
[ not disclosed or talked about in Churches]
..You have to read the New Testament for yourself. [ the Gospel of John is a good place to start, and remember to use a good, histori and accurate version. It is not what you "theoretically" want to do, or wish to do, that counts. If you are deceived spiritually, what difference will it make, that you "were going to study" or you were " going to learn" ? Will you be... any less deceived, because you were going to [in the future] actually invest the time in yourself to learn ???
Take the time and learn n-o-w, while you can.
Do you remember the words of scripture :
II Timothy 2: 15 Study [ STUDY !!! ] to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly [RIGHTLY] dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
II Timothy
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Its what you actually [ ACTUALLY !!! ] do, what you actually[ ACTUALLY !!! ] study. Stop waiting for others to help you, and start helping yourself. The day will soon come when none of this may be around, and then all you will have is what you know, in your head, in your own mind.
Pray for yourself that you will wake up from your coma, that you would have a love of God, a love of His true and authentic Word (Bible), a deep desire to study the Word, and that God would show you how to have the spiritual and personal inner strength for these times. Pray that you would not waste your time, but that you would value and do what God wants you to do and
., and that HE would help you find the answers you are looking for.
What people MUST believe about God, in order to find Him and why Faith in God is neccessary ------- Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
To restate the obvious:
YOU = " he that cometh to God "
1) that he is, [ That God exists] , and
2) that he is a rewarder of them that diligently [ DILIGENTLY !!! ] seek him.
Luke 21: 8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
II Thess 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness ... because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
( what did they receive not ? This means that there is something that certain ones chose not to receive. What is that ?? )
Example: what they often don't talk about in church:
Titus 2: 1
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Enforcement officers have been commended for clearing up an alleged eyesore that had blighted one of Devizes' prettiest vistas.
Rum Jungle in Snails Lane, below the north escarpment of Devizes Castle, had been the subject of numerous complaints to Wiltshire Council.
Last August, the eastern area planning committee approved enforcement action to remove a mobile home, dilapidated sheds and other detritus from the site.
A report to last Thursday's meeting of the committee said: "In view of the dilapidated nature of the mobile home and untidy condition of the site in general, your officers initially sought to persuade the owners, who did not live in the UK, to improve the appearance of the site voluntarily.
"When negotiations broke down, an untidy site notice, under Section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, was issued in January 2013."
After the owners failed to clear the site, council contractors did the work and the owners now face a bill of between £10,000 and £15,000.
Coun Peter Evans said: "It is 250 per cent better. The view of the valley beyond the castle was obliterated."

Whether you're all about big name coffee roasters or your neighborhood café, changing the way you order coffee or tea can mean big impact for farmers and workers around the world. Your commitment to buying Fair Trade means new schools, clean water and health care for farming communities in need. Next time you order coffee or tea, remember that Fair Trade is all about quality products that improve lives and protect the environment. So, be hip when you sip!

Central sending seven to NCAA track and field meet
PELLA — Seven Central College athletes will compete in four events at the NCAA Division III men's and women's track and field championships this week in Delaware, Ohio.
The official entry list was released Sunday morning. The meet will be staged Thursday through Saturday at Ohio Wesleyan University.
Iowa Conference track event MVP Eli Horton (junior, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) and Austin O'Brien (senior, Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley HS) will both run the 5,000 meters, one of the meet's final events, Saturday at 5:05 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time). Horton's qualifying time of 14:15.66 ranks sixth in the 20-runner field while O'Brien ranks 15th at 14:24.94.
Horton is making his second trip to the national outdoor meet. He placed 14th in the 1,500 meters last spring.
Sprinter Abi Davis (sophomore, Des Moines, Dowling Catholic HS) headlines the Dutch women's entries. She'll run the 200-meter preliminaries Thursday at 7 p.m. and the 100-meter preliminaries Friday at 7:30 p.m.
Davis also qualified for the 400 meters but chose not to run because the 400-meter preliminaries are at 7 p.m. Friday, just 30 minutes before the 100 meters. Davis ranks seventh in the 100 at 12.00 seconds and 20th in the 200 at 24.89 seconds.
Davis will also run the second leg of the 4×400-meter relay Thursday at 8:50 p.m.. The Dutch unit of Allie McBroom (junior, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS), Davis, conference 400-meter champ Camie Kibbee (junior, Mason City) and Monica Ruiz (sophomore, Hudson) ranks 12th at 3:50.71.
Hillary Hotz (junior, Fort Dodge, St. Edmond HS) will compete in the high jump Friday at 2 p.m. She ranks 21st in the 22-athlete field with a qualifying mark of 5-feet, 6-inches (1.68 meters).
The Dutch women will be bidding for their first outdoor track and field honoree since 2012. Central didn't score in last year's meet but tied for 20th the previous year.
The Central men tied for 22nd last year. Eric Larson (junior, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) won the NCAA decathlon title but missed this season with injury. The Dutch tied for ninth in 2012 and were seventh in 2011. They've finished in the national top-25 13 times their previous 20 appearances.

PASADENA, Texas - A blown transformer is likely the reason three homes caught fire in Pasadena, according to the Pasadena Fire Marshal.
Officials said they were first called to a home on the 1300 block of Carpenter Ave. around 3:15 pm, after reports of heavy smoke. When they arrived, the fire had spread to two other homes on the 1300 block of Hancock Ave. The two homes on Hancock Ave. share a backyard fence with the home on Carpenter Ave.
"It's like I'm in a dream," homeowner Morris Bryant said. "I can't believe this happened." Bryant said he heard a loud pop and went outside to find his backyard and eventually his house, in flames.
Officials said that everyone inside the three homes made it out safely. However, Bryant said his cat and pet bird died inside the home.
Bryant added that his home is a total loss.
As of Friday evening, fire crews were still on the scene, talking to witnesses and monitoring hot spots.

In what one longtime activist called the largest rally in the history of the local black LGBT community, about 50 people gathered in a South Dallas parking lot on Saturday morning to voice their objections to City Councilwoman Vonciel Hill's anti-gay comments last week concerning an HIV prevention billboard.
The billboard, part of the Greater Than AIDS campaign, features a black man with his arms around another black man and says, "UPDATE YOUR STATUS."
Hill, who is African-American and virulently anti-gay, told a TV news station that she objected to the billboard in her district because she believes it sends the message that homosexuality is "acceptable."
Saturday's rally, which had as its theme a hashtag, #RevLOVE, was held under temporary awnings erected in the parking lot of Abounding Prosperity, an HIV/AIDS agency in the heart of South Dallas at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and SM Wright Freeway. Harold Steward, who organized the rally, explained to those who braved 90-degree heat that the hashtag #RevLOVE is based on a line from pioneering gay black activist Joseph Beam's book, In The Life.
"Black men loving black men is the revolutionary act," Beam wrote.
"We have been here before," Steward told the crowd. "If we have to we will plaster our faces and lives and our loves on every billboard in America. We will love in this revolutionary way until our haters catch up with our history."

>Health and Nutrition>Forks over Knives - have you seen it and has it made you question your eating habits
I do not create this post with the intention of trying to convert anyone to vegetarianism or veganism (as I am not one myself) nor to launch a pointless debate between vegans and inveterate carnivores.
Just curious how many people have seen this documentary, and of those who have seen it, did it make you think about changing your eating habits
Personal bests (bold = this year): 5K - 23:27 / 5M - 38:42 / 10K - 49:31 (track) / 10M - 1:24:26 / HM - 1:51:17 / M - 3:58:58
Next races: NYC Marathon, Nov 2014
Before I saw the video, I read the book The China Study by the same guy. I went vegetarian after reading it. I'm not hardcore, if something has little chicken broth in it, I'm not going to freak out. And I still eat dairy. But the only meat in the house is cooked for the dog.
It made sense to me, and it was an easy transition.
Feeling the growl again
Pseudoscience. Multiple degrees in biochemistry and a career in healthcare.
I kill things and eat them. Lean meat is good. All meat is not equal.

I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
Saw it and movies like it. Made me more conscious about eating fruits and vegetables. I still eat meat.
"If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus
I really prefer chopsticks for most things.
Overall it's a very good presentation of the health benefits of the vegan perspective. It's been a while since I saw it, but it made a big impression at the time, and helped me transition toward eliminating meat to a very large extent from my diet.
I watched it and bought a copy of the dvd to loan to people. I hadn't eaten red meat in over 20 years but still ate chicken occasionally. After F over K, I quit the chicken too. Unfortunately, I still haven't given up the dairy. I have decreased it but am still a cheese/ice cream lover. Working on it though.
an amazing likeness
What...no love for sporks? Can't there be a compromise?
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
I've often thought of being a vegetarian, but I can't make the switch. I have significantly cut down the amount of meat I eat though.
I would be a pescetarian (I'm not sure if I spelled that right) if more people in my family liked fish and seafood as much as me.
Distinctively Juvenile
For every Forks Over Knives there will be another documentary that says the opposite, or it being debunked by conflicting studies. All accusing each other of bad science. Fish oil was good, now it's bad. This vitamin was good now it's bad. After trying many different eating "lifestyles" the past few decades, I decided to follow my own inner directives on the matter of eating, because I just get insane listening to all of these conflicting reports. I believe people were happier when they ate whatever they wanted and didn't have all this bad/good information coming at them all the time. They ate what they wanted, and when it was time to die, they died, like everyone else who came before. One thing is obvious, with or without science, is that if you eat too much and don't move much, at some point it is highly likely you're going to get fatter. Another thing that is obvious is that being under constant stress affects people's health and mental well-being. We don't need science to tell us these things we see with our own eyes. I eat what makes me happy, and try to be happy with the food I eat. I choose to no longer be stressed out about food and my inevitable demise. Until that day comes, I figure if I keep moving, then moving will beget moving, and perhaps, if I'm lucky, I'll drop this mortal coil during a run, thinking about that juicy bacon burger I was going to have when I got home.

I've watched it along with 3-4 other similar documentaries. I follow it 90% of the time, am finally dropping weight, and feel much better.
I saw it and didn't think too much of it. I was vegetarian fro 13 years until I met a rancher who showed me how you can actually improve the local environment & your health by raising animals properly. At home, my SO & I now raise chickens for eggs & meat along with our extensive garden of vegetables, fruit, and herbs. There is nothing that makes me happier at meal time than to be able to serve a plate of all home-grown food, protein & all. I think there must be a balance in all things that we eat; moderation is good I think that neither veganism nor carnivorism are healthy ways to eat.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.— John Maday, managing editor for Drovers/CattleNetwork, was presented the National Institute for Animal Agriculture's Advocate for Animal Agriculture award April 16 at the organization's annual conference in Louisville, Ky.
"If you read about the beef industry, then you are familiar with the words and insight of John Maday," states Dr. Nevil Speer, Western Kentucky University who presented the award to John. "John's passion for agriculture—and the beef industry in particular—and his dedication to presenting the facts shines through his writing. He is extremely well versed and isn't afraid to ask the hard questions.
"John uses the power of the pen judiciously and fairly. He is a strong and positive voice for agriculture."
Raised in southern Wisconsin and working on diversified crop and livestock farms through high school and college, John earned his Bachelor of Science in Agronomy from the University of Wisconsin and a Master of Science in Agricultural Extension Education from the University of Florida. Before joining the Drovers staff in 1993, John worked at the University of Florida in extension for six years, spent 18 months in the West African nation of Cameroon teaching at the national college of agriculture and worked in agricultural public relations.
A resident of Fort Collins, Colo., John was a co-recipient of the 2000 and 2008 Jesse H. Neal National Business Journalism Award.
The National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) is a non-profit, membership-driven organization that unites and advances animal agriculture—the aquaculture, beef, dairy, equine, goat, poultry, sheep and swine industries. NIAA is dedicated to programs that work towards the eradication of diseases that pose risk to the health of animals, wildlife and humans; promotes a safe and wholesome food supply for our nation and abroad; and promotes best practices in environmental stewardship, animal health and well-being. NIAA members include farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, scientists, state and federal officials and business leaders.

HOUSTON - They may be some of the most luxurious models on the road, but for all the bells and whistles, many luxury sedans are scoring low marks in a new front-end crash test.
For years, car manufacturers have known what to expect. Federal crash tests have tested the same areas on each vehicle, but new crash tests are focusing on a different type head-on collision and used some of the safest cars available, because the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety was baffled by a question: Why do so many people still die in frontal crashes despite the fact the vehicles are performing well in our crash tests and they're performing well in government crash tests?
The institute then modified its tests to address what they said is happening in about a fourth of these head-on collisions.
Instead of full frontal-impact, only a corner of the car slammed into a structure. What they found was greater risk of serious injury to those inside because it's the part of the car that offers the least but needs more protection.
Eleven 2012 midsize cars were tested. Only three, the Acura TL, Volvo S60 and Infiniti G, earned a good or acceptable rating.
The Lexus IS and ES models, along with Audi's A4 and Mercedes C-Class, all were rated poor.
Toyota/Lexus and Audi said they will keep these tests in mind when designing new vehicles.
Mercedes said it disagrees with the tests and strongly believes its C-Class is safe.

›› Photos: Canutillo ISD board meeting on Superintendent Damon Murphy
The Texas Education Agency is investigating internal audit findings released Thursday by the Canutillo Independent School District that show possible efforts to cheat federal and state accountability measures.
Officials with the agency's Special Investigation Division spoke with Canutillo school board President Armando Rodriguez by phone Friday morning and requested a copy of the audit findings, TEA spokesman Gene Acuña said.
"We're currently reviewing it and will be making a determination as to the next steps and we will notify the Canutillo board," Acuña said. "The goal is to get the determination back to them as quickly as possible."
Rodriguez said TEA officials told him they might have a response in time for the school board's next regular meeting on Dec. 18.
Acuña said the agency had no comment regarding steps the board started Thursday night to fire embattled Superintendent Damon Murphy.
The school board directed its attorney to give Murphy notice of its intent to put the superintendent on unpaid leave and start the process of firing him before his contract expires in June 2014.
Murphy will remain in his job until the school board schedules a meeting to discuss placing him on unpaid leave. Rodriguez said the discussion would not take place during the board's Dec. 18 meeting.
The push for Murphy's ouster came after trustees received a report from the district's internal auditor that found several attempts to lower the numbers of limited English-speaking students and special education students so those subgroups would not count in the district's federal accountability results.
For student subgroups to be considered for federal Adequate Yearly Progress measures, a school must have 50 or more students in a subgroup enrolled on the test date.
Murphy has been embroiled in similar accusations at the center of a cheating scandal in neighboring El Paso Independent School District, where he was an associate superintendent before he was hired to lead Canutillo in January 2010.
Rodriguez on Thursday night declined to say whether the Canutillo district had been cheating on accountability measures.
The audit report alleges that Murphy directed former Canutillo High School Principal Jim Fry to find ways of moving limited English-speaking students and special education students from 10th grade to 11th grade.
Federal accountability measures rate high schools based on 10th-grade performance on state-mandated tests.
Fry did not respond to phone and email messages on Friday that sought an interview. He left the Canutillo district in June to take a job as the executive director of curriculum, instruction and assessment at the 2,700-student Clarkston School District in Clarkston, Wash.
The report states that Fry received emails "related to identifying and minimizing subgroups, monitoring these subgroups and methods on how students could receive accelerated credit during the beginning of their 10th grade and be reclassified as 11th-graders at the end of semester one, thus avoiding the 10th grade adequate yearly progress accountability testing time period occurring in the spring."
That finding seems to contradict comments Fry made in a May 2 school board meeting. He told Canutillo trustees that he had never received orders to skip students to the 11th grade so they would not take the 10th-grade standardized test.
"That's one of those things that you know that you have to be real transparent there," Fry said at the meeting. "Our goal is not to avoid (Adequate Yearly Progress). Our goal is not to avoid accountability for these students. Our goal is that our kids stay with their class, what's called the cohort."
The May meeting focused on a review of the Canutillo district's practices and policies for grade placement of foreign and out-of-state transfer students.
It took place a week after former EPISD interim Superintendent Terri Jordan publicly discussed an email Murphy sent in 2008 when he oversaw efforts to improve performance at struggling schools at the El Paso district.
The cheating scheme focused on the district's low-performing campuses, known as "priority schools."
Former EPISD Superintendent Lorenzo García is serving a 3å-year federal prison term after pleading guilty in June to two counts of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, including scheming with six unnamed co-conspirators to game the federal accountability system.
While at the El Paso district, Murphy allegedly ordered principals and counselors to keep transfer high school students from other countries in the ninth grade for an entire year, even if they had credits that qualified them for a different grade level.
At the Canutillo meeting in May, then-board President Laure Searls asked Fry whether Murphy ever directed him to improperly keep students who transferred from another country in ninth grade.
"If there was a Bible here, I'd put my hand on it and I would say absolutely not," Fry said.
He then went on to praise Murphy's leadership at the district.
"I don't feel like I've ever been told to do anything that I'm uncomfortable with," Fry said. "I really respect what (Murphy) has done for me personally and my advancement, and what he's done for Canutillo ISD. I'd work for him again any day."
The Canutillo audit released this week did not include evidence that grade placements of foreign transfer students were done inappropriately.
But the school board is expecting findings from the district's internal auditors about whether foreign transfer students, most commonly from Mexico, have been placed in their proper grade, Rodriguez said.
The school board will provide the state agency with further audit findings once they are available, he said.
Rodriguez met briefly with Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams after his Thursday news conference at the Region 19 Education Service Center, where Williams announced he would remove the EPISD school board and appoint a board of managers after public trust in the board took a nose dive because of the cheating scandal.
The Canutillo district audit findings were not discussed during that meeting, Rodriguez said.
He asked Williams for a response to a Nov. 6 letter the Canutillo trustees sent the commissioner that sought clarification about personnel action he expected them to take against Murphy.
Rodriguez said Williams on Thursday "didn't directly indicate if he would respond."
The trustees wrote that they were "concerned that you expect some action on our part because our current superintendent worked at EPISD and press reports have discussed his employment at EPISD."
Rodriguez said he hopes the state education commissioner supports "actions taken by the district" in initiating the process of firing Murphy.
"It's a tough situation, but at the end of the day, we've made the best decision in the best interest of our kids in our community, and we're doing that to move forward," Rodriguez said.

More like he's holding her hand under the table ... more like he *seized* her hand. She's turned slightly away from him and has a fake smile. I don't think she really likes Barry.
Shouldn't this one be filed under Sex Education?

Not bloody likely!

Thank you! I even questioned putting this under any series with the word "artist" in its title but decided in the end that "action" was what he was trying to get so...

Watch the snarky remarks about Barry. Dylan's a fan!
- November 09, 2009 8:47 PM
- Tom Sutpen said...
I've found that it works to have an exceptionally loose definition of the word 'artist' 'round these parts. So anyone who routinely engages in a creative endeavor (the type newspapers send critics to review) is, for better or worse, an artist . . . at least here at Casa Gunslinger.

Dylan's a fan of everybody who puts out a record.
In this respect, he's become the Quentin Tarantino of American music.
- November 09, 2009 8:52 PM

Fred, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself could be a fan of Barry, his brand of tin pan alley still wouldn't impress me. But he's a hell of an entertainer, as are all those who studied under the tutelage of Bette Midler in the seventies.
Tom, I've found making definitions loose helps infinitely but I still possess an amazing ability to overthink everything and continue to give myself ulcers thinking, "Oh god, I'm going to put this picture in the wrong place and everyone will hate me."

Not to start anything, but having meet the man, I also feel the need to say she's not his type.

I twist myself in the sam knots . . . so I'll give you the advice I myself rarely heed:
Don' worry abouuut it!
Are you, by any chance, suggesting that Barry Manilow is . . . as Winchell used to put it . . . not the marrying kind??
- November 09, 2009 9:23 PM
- brooks said...
Miss Fox isn't exactly "the marrying kind" either. But she is on the right team, loosely, if one overlooks Wilbur often being the name of a pig.
As much as I dislike Barry's sappy songs he does appear to be a genuinely kind man. And I have to admit that "Mandy" is a well written song.

One of the more straightforward non de guerre's ever. This Argentine lass understood the value of advertising. Barry's about to learn how far his money and celebrity will take him.

His "gaze" is more of a "When will this be over, so I can get back to my butler?" look.

FAIRMONT — For a minute, Austin Norman thought about giving up.
The Fairmont Senior quarterback had just suffered a gruesome football injury, a broken fibula and dislocated ankle that was severe enough to turn his foot almost entirely backwards.
The Polar Bears football season was essentially over without their signal caller, and Norman thought that maybe his entire athletic career might also be finished.
"After that injury I talked about just going to college and going to school and being done with everything," he said. "But I had a goal. That was to play baseball and play collegiately."
A metal plate, a handful of screws and countless hours of rehab later and he was back on the baseball field where he belted 12 home runs, drove in 48 runs and hit .418 to go along with a 1.35 earned run average and 89 strikeouts.
For his success on the diamond, the Marshall commit was named captain of the Class AA All-State team as voted on by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
"I put in a lot of hard work in the offseason," Norman said. "A lot of time in the weight room. A lot of time in the cage. A lot of time throwing. And it paid off."
The hard work also paid off for 14 others who were named to the first team.
The first-team pitchers are Herbert Hoover's Tristan Fields (8-0, 1.21 ERA, 76 Ks), Fairmont Senior's Bailey Mohr (7-1, 1.25 ERA) and Wyoming East's Josh Zeboskey (8-1, 73 Ks).
Robert C. Byrd's Colton Bonnet batted .499 with nine doubles and 25 steals to earn the spot behind the dish. Ravenswood's Devon Crews hit .510 with nine home runs to lead all infielders. He is joined in the infield by Independence's Wyatt Adkins (.486, 7 home runs, 10 steals), Sissonville's Jacob Fisher (.471, 46 steals) and PikeView's Austin Cordell.
Outfielders are Norman, Ritchie County's Dylan Frye and Wayne's Cody Stiltner (.453, 27 steals).
Filling the utility slots are Oak Glen's Vincent Haddox (.475, three home runs), Poca's Noah Frampton (.404, five home runs), Wyoming East's Christian Hedinger (.564, 22 doubles) and Bridgeport's Tyler Skidmore (.426, 36 RBIs).
Infielder William Copley of Chapmanville was chosen as the captain of the second team. He's joined in the infield by second-teamers Johnny Kesling (Fairmont Senior), Joe LaRocca (Bridgeport) and Heath Burgess (Ravenswood). Sam Aloi (Bridgeport), Trey Dalton (Chapmanville) and Brian Sexton (Independence) were selected as second-team pitchers. Sissonville's Dominic Walker was picked as the second-team catcher. Shaun Dotson (Herbert Hoover), Anthony Bonamico (Bridgeport) and Jake Payne (Poca) are the outfielders.
Rounding out the team are utility players Cody Bowen (Herbert Hoover), Tristan Thompson (Chapmanville), Andrew Hughart, (Independence) and Hunter White (Herbert Hoover).

One of the real benefits of writing for Real Money is its incredible community of contributors and readers. I have developed strong friendships with several contributors and enjoyed excellent exchanges with readers over the years. These are extremely intelligent folks with great ideas on the market and individual stocks. One such individual is John Rudolf, portfolio manager at Glacier Peak Capital in Bellevue, Wash. We have similar investing styles and share key interests. A few months ago, he brought me a great idea that is attracting attention this week.
Volt Information Sciences (VISI) is a staffing company founded in 1950 by brothers Jerry and Bill Shaw as a technical publications service. Volt added technical temporary staff services in 1956 and by 1957, it was the first publicly traded staffing company. Since then, the company has grown into a major provider of technical and administrative personnel to employers. Its client list includes a substantial portion of the Fortune 100, including tech giants Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL). It is estimated to be the fourth-largest provider of technical staff in the U.S. today.
The company is also involved in consulting, telecommunications, printing and publishing. It offers printing services for books, newspapers and directories in Latin America, including telephone directories in Uruguay. The telecommunications division is winding down as landlines and local residential voice services diminish. These businesses add some value to the company, but its heart and soul is the staffing business.
I am a big fan of the staffing business, particularly on the IT side, as a long-term investment. I believe Volt is a great addition to my portfolio, but the rub is that I only believe this to be the case; I have little proof. This company has not filed audited numbers with the Securities and Exchange Commission since 2009 after an initial accounting review determined some financials would have to be restated. The review is believed to cover about 10% of the company's revenues for the period in question, but the review has not been completed in three years and costs appear to have exceeded $60 million. The delay eventually brought about the company's delisting from the New York Stock Exchange.
The company and its troubles have been in focus this week as the value investors who now own the majority of the shares not controlled by the Shaw family hope to see the financials. The company securitized some of its receivable through PNC Bank (PNC) and, after being granted an extension earlier this year, audited financial are due Friday. So far, there is silence coming from Volt regarding the deadline and its ability to meet it.
Now, an 8-K filed Monday has ignited a fair amount of turmoil. The company paid a hefty bonus and raised the salary of CEO Ronald Kochman after just six months on the job. That does not sit well with many investors, including my good friend John Rudolf. He expressed his concerns over salary increases, bonuses and option grants made without any sign of full financials or an updated business plan and guidance. The Shaw family still controls the board and 42% of the stock, and it appears they are not responsive to shareholder concerns. With so much of their net worth in a stock that has fallen to less than $7 from more than $35 over the past six years, you would think shareholder value would be more of a priority.
The thing that really rubs investors the wrong way is that the value does seem to exist. Working from old analyst comments and the company's quarterly unaudited updates, the company generates something like $40 million a year in EBITDA. Book value appears to be about $13 a share and, between cash, short-term investments and collateral posted for the securitization program, Volt has $74 million in available cash. The market cap is just $137 million with a stock price of $6.61 as of Tuesday, so the stock is extraordinarily cheap if these financial are audited and verified.
I own the stock because, in spite of the lack of communication and apparent lack of concern from management, the value is there. The stock should be trading in the mid-teens or higher based on the numbers I see. If the stock just trades up to the same discount to book as Kelly Services (KELYA), my other staffing stock, the shares would gain almost 50%.
It is likely that Rudolf, myself and other investors may have to break into our wine cellars to deal with the frustration of unlocking Volt's value -- but the value is there. When management gets its act together, this stock should return profits in many multiples, not just mere percentages.

History, our future
Aug 28, 2011
… no civilization has ever saved everything; acknowledging that fact does not obviate the need to try and save as much as we can. — A Working Library
Way back in 2006, I heard Chris talk, demoing Nokia's mobile web server. I loved that and in my imagination it combined with the idea of owning your own data. Imagine carrying your own data with you, the canonical copy of everything digital that's you, serving it from your mobile device. (There was a newspaper picture I saw, during the terrible years after Yugoslavia disintegrated, of a refugee family carrying their hard drives stashed around their van and in their bags and coats. They called themselves, I think — I've never been able to find the picture since — the first hi-tech refugees, carrying with them all their digital stuff.)
Owning your own data:
I'm building a solution, bit by bit. It's certainly incomplete, and with rough edges … but iteratively improving as I find time and inspiration to work on it. I'd rather host my data and live with such awkwardness in the open than be a sharecropper on so many beautiful social content farms. — Tantek Çelik
I haven't even the beginnings of the technical knowledge needed to follow that particular path ('This is what I mean by "own your data". Your site should be the source and hub for everything you post online. This doesn't exist yet, it's a forward looking vision, and I and others are hard at work building it. It's the future of the indie web.'), though I'd dearly like to. If someone builds that, I'd buy it.
In 2008, at Open Tech, I heard Danny O'Brien talk, Living on the Edge (pdf), and read his posts on the same theme: 2008–07–16, and then Independence Day, Intermediaries, Death by Boredom, H-T-T-P, You Know Me, Reachability on the Edge, How Many Nines Does One Person Need?. From Independence Day: 'a trend you couldn't help but notice in this latest overexcitement is migration of data from the edge to centralised servers. … I'm curious as to what happens when one tries to buck this trend. … how much of our life that we share with the Web 2.0 giants do we really *need* to share? How much of these services can and should we be running from the comfort of our own homes?'
The year before, Ben had written: 'I'm living out of webapps at the moment: Google Docs, Gmail, Reader, Meebo and the like. It has been a revelation: these things work really well.' (And see Matt Haughey, writing in April that year.) How long ago that seems now!
Discussion of the issues hasn't ceased and, for the foreseeable future, how can it? Take John Naughton, writing earlier this year: 'the components needed for a new, user-controlled architecture are beginning to fall into place. It's still a bit geeky, but all it needs is a human-friendly front end' (my italics). And last year's speech by Eben Moglen (FreedomBox), Freedom in the Cloud. Or, Take Back the Tubes — A DIY Data Manifesto:
… the web will likely never be completely free of centralized services and Winer recognizes that. Most people will still choose convenience over freedom. Twitter's user interface is simple, easy to use and works on half a dozen devices. Winer doesn't believe everyone will want to be part of the distributed web, just the dedicated. But he does believe there are more people who would choose a DIY path if they realized it wasn't that difficult.
For much of the last year, I've become preoccupied with archiving and preserving our data; 'we are all curators, in the post-modern world, whether we want to be or not' (William Gibson, 2001). mmmarilyn: 'The one thing that differentiates human beings from all other creatures on Earth is the externalization of subjective memory—first through notches in trees, then through cave paintings, then through the written word and now, through databases of almost otherworldly storage and retrieval power.' And then — YAHOO!LOCAUST. John Naughton again (from earlier still this year):
Think of the pleasure we get from old family photographs or the delight that comes from clearing out an attic and finding boxes of love letters, school reports, our first exercise books and old appointment diaries. The contemporary versions of these personal documents are mostly stored either on obsolescent PC hard drives or on the servers of internet companies …
The European Union says its member states must do more to digitize Europe's cultural heritage and not simply leave that work to the private sector. To do otherwise, suggests a recently commissioned report, could steer Europe away from a digital Renaissance and "into a digital dark age." — ReadWriteWeb, 2011
I'm no programmer, though decades ago I learned to use Fortran, writing my own program for an A level Biology project, and played with BASIC. Now, I'm playing with a Mac Mini server and a Pegasus R6. I want to know that we can hand on certain things … music, audio, photos, text and, increasingly important, video. History for the future.
Last Christmas, I was hoping we'd see some development in 2011 around the Mac Mini, though I suspected the game plan was more likely to be centred on the ecosystem that individuals, families and groups weave around multiple Apple devices. There's room for both and it seems that Apple thinks so, too. I use cloud services a great deal, and this won't stop as I play with creating our own, centralised repository of music, audio, photos, text and videos. I want our own backup and personally maintained server and store, but I know the cloud offers us so much, too.
In What if Flickr fails?, Doc Searls looked forward to 'self-hosted versions of Flickr, or the equivalent' but also to a future where we 'pay more for what's now free':
I want them, and every other silo out there, to realize that the pendulum has now swung full distance in the silo'd direction — and that it's going to swing back in the direction of open and distributed everything. And there's plenty of money to be made there too.
Yes, indeed. If Apple gets it right with iCloud, I'll happily pay for secure and really useful services in the cloud that respect my privacy and offer a level of backup and reliability that, even with all my best efforts, I'll probably not (always) achieve at home. But I'll hold them to the highest standards and aim not to have to miss a beat if it comes to moving to another service. Dave Winer:
The important thing is that you and your ideas live outside the silo and are ported into it at your pleasure. You never have to worry about getting your stuff out of the silo because it never lived in there in the first place.
Things my students might enjoy reading as they, too, wrestle with these matters:

If you ask any Data Center networking engineer about his worst pains, I'm positive Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) will be very high on the shortlist. In a well-designed fully redundant hierarchical network where every device connects to at least two devices higher in the hierarchy, you lose half the bandwidth to STP loop prevention whims.
Of course you can try to dance around the problem:
- Push routing as far south (down is no longer popular with Data Center vendors) as you can ... and get a violent kickback from the server admins when they realize they cannot move the VMs at will anymore;
- Play with per-VLAN costs in PVST+ or MSTP, ensuring the need for constant supervision and magnificent job security;
- Deploy hot-off-the-press technologies like TRILL or FabricPath.
... or you could decide to use a more humble approach and deploy multi-chassis link aggregation.
Link Aggregation Basics
Link aggregation is an ancient technology that allows you to bond multiple parallel links into a single virtual link (from the STP perspective). With parallel links being replaced by a single link, STP detects no loops and all the physical links can be fully utilized.
For whatever reason, vendors like to use all other terms but link aggregation. You'll hear about port channel, Etherchannel, link bonding or multi-link trunking.
Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation
Imagine you could pretend two physical boxes use a single control plane and coordinated switching fabrics ... then the links terminated on two physical boxes actually terminate within the same control plane and you could aggregate them. Welcome to the wonderful world of Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG).
MLAG nicely solves the STP problem: no bandwidth is wasted and close-to-full redundancy is retained (make sure you always read the smallprint to understand what happens if the switch hosting the control plane fails).
Standardization? No, thanks
MLAG is obviously a highly desirable tool in your design/deployment toolbox ... but no vendor (including those that promote their standard-based open approach) has taken the pains to start the standardization effort. Proprietary technology lock-in is obviously still a lucrative approach.
The architectural approaches used by individual vendors are widely different: sometimes they completely separate the control plane from the switching matrix (high-end solution from Juniper), turn one of the control planes into half-comatose state (Cisco with VSS), use cooperative control planes (Cisco with vPC) or a stacking (preferably called distributed or intelligent) solution (Cisco, HP and Juniper).

Sikivu Hutchinson
- Located in Los Angeles, CA
- Sikivu Hutchinson is the author of Moral Combat: Black Atheists, Gender Politics, and the Values Wars; Godless Americana: Race and Religious Rebels;White Nights, Black Paradise, a novel on Peoples Temple and the Jonestown Massacre.
- She is the founder of Black Skeptics Los Angeles, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and a Senior Fellow for the Institute for Humanist Studies. The Black Skeptics Group sponsors annual First in the Family Humanist scholarship awards.
- She is also the project director of the Women's Leadership Project feminist humanist mentoring program.
- Writer and director of White Nights, Black Paradise: The Film
- Recipient of the SSA Backbone Award in 2016
- Recipient of the Foundation Beyond Belief "Humanist Innovator" Award
Sikivu has written extensively on the politics of atheism and secular humanism and its implications for African Americans. For black atheists, actively breaking with religious tradition is an even graver rejection than that of white intellectuals galvanized by the work of Hitchens or Dawkins. This is partly due to the fact that the history of African American civil and human rights resistance is heavily steeped in Judeo-Christian religious dogma. Sikivu's work explores the tensions that exist in African American culture around living a moral life beyond the boundaries of organized religion. She has addressed the role secularism/atheism plays in shaping contemporary black perspectives on such issues as abortion, intimate partner violence and same-sex marriage, the particular challenges of "coming out" as an atheist female of color and how the cultural knowledge and lived experience of atheists and secular humanists of color "nuance" the conversation around American atheism.
Some of Sikivu's articles and interviews:
- The Uppity Negress
- To be ATheist, Feminist, and Black
- Secularism and Social Justice
- Atheism has a big race problem that no one's talking about
Examples of Sikivu speaking can be found on Youtube at:
Sikivu is available to discuss such topics as:
- The "problem" of coming out for black atheists and building humanist communities of color
- The political rise of the Religious Right and its Black Church allies
- Youth of color perspectives on organized religion & non-theism
- Race/gender politics & Eurocentrism in the humanist & atheist movements: why science worship doesn't work for people of color
- Women's rights and humanism: anti-racism, anti-sexism and anti-heterosexism as a humanist stance
- Anti-choice media propaganda and the policing of women's bodies

Thumb sprain keeps Cespedes out of lineup
OAKLAND -- Yoenis Cespedes sprained his right thumb on Wednesday and was not in the A's lineup on Thursday, but manager Bob Melvin said there is a good chance that Cespedes will start Friday in Texas.
Cespedes hit two homers in the A's 9-7 victory Wednesday and matched a career high with five RBIs before hurting his thumb as he fell to the ground on a fifth-inning swing. He stayed in left field for a half-inning and then departed to get X-rays, which were negative.
"The swelling was minimal, it was just more the soreness in the joint," Melvin said. "But they got him ready to go."
The left fielder's breakout performance on Wednesday snapped a 25-game homerless drought and lifted his season totals to 16 home runs and 61 RBIs.
