I agree exactly with streaky sparrow. Isn't it all about being startled by a sneeze? I think it's a socially acceptable way of saying "WTF, you just annoyed me" Bless you is just a coverup.
On the topic at hand, I thought of a new way to handle things today. I am also on my vacation, food is piling up everywhere. I found this great eggplant dish that has a wide variety of ingredients, capers, olives, sardines, and pine nuts. Delicious and healthy.
I just commented on how much I loved that item, nothing else will do, I just have to fill my plate with this. Then nibble away at the eggplant for a while.
I suppose that doesn't help if there truly is nothing at hand that is healthy though.

|Tuesday May 28, 2002
It turns out that the first time these two giants played in the same match was 1983 (the year that both made their debut) meaning their joint era will have spanned 19 years, the longest such period in league history.
The current record of 17 years is jointly held by Hawthorn's Michael Tuck and
Richmond's David Cloke, who first played against each other in 1974 and last in
1991, and Fitzroy's Kevin Murray and Carlton's John Nicholls, who started out
together in 1957 and finished in 1974.
Six from the best
Should Lockett play on Saturday night, the big difference from his first meeting with Salmon will be of course that he will be in a Swans guernsey rather than a Saints jumper.
And for the record, that first match was played at Waverley in round 13, 1983, with an 18-year-old Salmon booting four goals and a 17-year-old Lockett snaring two as the Kevin Sheedy-coached Essendon downed the Tony Jewell-coached St Kilda by 47 points.
Salmon's career goal tally is now 552 (from 311 games), while record-holder Lockett has reached 1358 (from 279 games).
Not cricket
It's not even close to cricket season but already things are hotting up, what with new Victorian coach David Hookes' decision to axe a couple of the state's big names on Tuesday.
But that's nothing compared with the incident involving Hookseys' Western Australian counterpart Mike Veletta that took place in Perth yesterday.
Seems that when a press conference was held to announce a state sponsorship deal one of the cricket writers, The West Australian's John Townsend pressed Veletta about star batsman Simon Katich's decision to quit the state, asking if Mike Hussey would follow suit.
With that Veletta jumped from his chair, grabbed the scribe by the coat lapels and physically removed him from the room.
"It wasn't (Mick) Malthousein, a storm in a teacup really," said Townsend after WACA chairman Charles Fear stepped in.
"I've copped worse from my daughter, who turns two on Monday."
WACA chief executive Kath White said the association strongly supported Veletta as coach "but we do not condone his action. He's expressed his regret and we will be taking steps to make sure it doesn't recur".
Hey, what's it going to be like when it's cricket season.
Update on that eight
They're a thoughtful lot, those Lions.
You see, following our item yesterday in which we reported Brisbane has not won a round-eight game since it changed its name from the Bears at the start of 1997, we've now discovered why.
Reader (and Lions fan) Adam Muyt reckons it's because Fitzroy's last win (and only win for the season) was on May 18, 1996 - yep, round eight.
Says Muyt: "Obviously Brissie are honouring the memory of the Royboys' final hurrah by permanently setting aside round eight as a loss."
Hawks versus who?
With matches in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney, Perth and even Launceston in any given season, is it any wonder that Hawthorn's players have trouble keeping tabs on where they're playing next?
Yeah, well imagine their confusion on Tuesday when they rocked up to training in preparation for Sunday's match against West Coast to discover a gold-coloured sign on the scoreboard that read: "Next week's match - Hawthorn v PowerHouse".
The simple expla nation for all this was the Hawks had got permission from the Victorian Amateur Football Association to train on its main ground at Elsternwick Park and the "Hawthorn" on the board was Hawthorn amateurs, who will play in a D3 section match there on Saturday.
Win or else
Representing your country in a big sporting event can be a pressure business.
Just ask the Italian World Cup soccer team.
Before the players flew out to Japan this week, their Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, told them that if they returned without the trophy, the only ball they would have to play with would be a ball-and-chain.
"Go east ... and win, otherwise stay there! And if you do return, to jail," quipped Berlusconi, cuffing his hands as if to be arrested.
Who said that?
"The truth is that I'm heterosexual and date women and that's it. End of story."
- New York Mets' superstar catcher Mike Piazza in an extraordinary news conference he called to shoot down whispers that he was gay.

What is Conflict?
How do you know when you are in conflict? Typically, people perceive they are in conflict when they experience anger or frustration, or when they want one thing and their interactional partners want another. However, scholars describe conflict in another way:
Conflict occurs when interdependent parties perceive they have incompatible interests related to the distribution of limited resources (Mortenson, 1974; Donohue & Kolt, 1992).
What exactly does this description mean? Let's look at each of the components of this description closely.
Parties are interdependent when they must rely upon each other in some way to achieve their goals or fulfill their interests (Putnam & Poole, 1987; Putnam, 2006). For example, if you share an office with someone at work, the two of you must rely on each other to create an environment that you both find comfortable. Interdependent parties are affected by each other, though they often wish they were not. This interdependence can set the stage for conflict (Roloff & Soule, 2002).
Interests refer to your goals, needs, desires, values, and beliefs (Simons, 1974; Ting-Toomey, 1985). For example, if you want a student to turn in a paper on time while she wants an extension, the two of you are experiencing a conflict in your goals. A beliefs conflict is when you argue with a political adversary over the value of tax cuts for the wealthy. An example of conflicts over desires is when you disagree with an airline attendant regarding your need to board a plane after the doors have closed. Conflicts arise when you perceive that your interests and the interests of other parties with whom you are interdependent are not compatible.
Incompatibilities refer to communicators' beliefs that their interests (goals, values, needs, desires, and beliefs) are mutually exclusive or in opposition to one another (Ting-Toomey & Oetzel, 2001; Putnam, 2006). The word "beliefs" is stressed because conflict arises when people perceive their goals are incompatible with someone else's, even if they are not. For example, co-workers often believe that their bosses have favorites or "pets," and may clash with their colleagues while attempting to achieve this preferred status. They may believe this even if their bosses do not prefer one employee over another.
Alternatively, you may believe that you and your colleague both want the same promotion, only later to discover that your co-worker wasn't interested at all. On the other hand, you and your conflict partner may have legitimate incompatibilities regarding your goals. Whether you have actual or simply perceived incompatibilities, conflict is likely to result.
Limited Resources
Limited resources describe the reality, or perception, that sufficient resources do not exist for all parties to achieve their goals or fulfill their interests (Mortensen, 1974; Ting-Toomey & Oetzel, 2001). For instance, if you are on the personnel benefits selection committee for your organization, you and the other members will have to choose from the array of benefits available to offer employees. If committee members disagree on those choices, conflict is inevitable. Of course, sometimes people have conflict over a resource that is not truly limited but is perceived to be so.
Interdependent people experience conflict when they believe another party prevents them from gaining access to desired, but limited, resources. Remember that these resources can be concrete "things" such as money, jobs, and relationships, but they also can be more abstract concepts such as respect, affection, and power.
Functions of Conflict (1 of 3)
If people feel negatively toward conflict, why do you think they still engage in so much of it? They do so because conflict serves important functions for individuals and relationships. Most obviously, individuals engage in conflict to get what they want. But sometimes they continue to argue even when the other person has given in. They also fight about trivial issues and matters that they don't really care about. They behave in this way because conflict interactions serve a variety of functions in addition to solving problems. One function of conflict is that it can help individuals regulate their relationships, emotions, and lives.
Here are some of the functions of conflict:
Conflict is Persuasive
Most obviously, conflict serves as a type of persuasive discourse; you have arguments when others interfere with your ability to achieve your goals. You engage in conflict in an attempt to persuade them to stop interfering and allow you to fulfill your desires. If your colleague insists on smoking in your office and you don't smoke, you may engage in conflict in an attempt to persuade him or her to quit. As you have seen in the examples, most conflicts are attempts to influence others.
Conflict Helps You Regulate Your Relationships
Another function of conflict is to help people manage their relationships. Routinely, family members, friends, lovers, and colleagues have to regulate issues of power and control, intimacy and distance, and novelty and predictability. Whenever people begin to feel they have too little power or too much responsibility, too much distance or closeness, or too much predictability or unpredictability in their relationships, they experience dissatisfaction. They may attempt to redress their dissatisfaction by engaging in conflict.
For example, if you find that your supervisor has changed your work hours without consulting you, you may resent having no control over the decision, even if the hours are no less convenient. In order to reestablish your control in the relationship, you may decide to engage in conflict.
Adolescents typically experience many such conflicts with their parents as a way to establish more independence and control (Montemayor, Adams, & Gullotta, 1990). Similarly, at times you may feel distant or disconnected from your friends or loved ones so you initiate conflict as a way to pull them back into the relationship. Through airing grievances and, more importantly, making up after the argument, you may begin to feel closer to one another. However, people rarely do this consciously, and it is not always effective. Unfortunately, sometimes the conflict can spin out of control and rather than increasing closeness it can destroy it.
Conflict is Cathartic
Conflict can also function as a catharsis for people. The word "catharsis" comes from the Greek term meaning "to cleanse." People try to avoid conflicts only to discover that they have really just been delaying them. They become tense or irritated, and they find that they have to confront whatever is bothering them. After they talk with the other person, they may feel much better just to have "gotten it out in the open," even if the issue itself is not resolved. In this way, they feel cleansed of their bad feelings. However, if the conflict is managed poorly, the participants may end up feeling worse rather than better.
Conflict Can Help You Clarify Issues
Conflict interactions also help people clarify how they feel and what they want. For example, when you enter an argument you may think you are upset about one issue—that your colleague is always late. Once you begin to discuss the issue, however, you may discover that you are actually upset because you believe your colleague does not value you and your time. In this way, engaging in conflict with others can help make your concerns and needs clearer—both to you and to others.
However, it is important to realize that your purposes for engaging in conflict may not always be clear to you, and any specific argument may serve more than one purpose. Nonetheless, the next time you engage in a conflict, you may find it useful to think along the following lines:
•Why are you having the argument?
•Why are you having it at this time?
This awareness may help you understand the underlying reasons you are in conflict and perhaps put the conflict in perspective
Competence Approach to Conflict (1 of 4)
The competence model of conflict is the best model for guiding communicators as they work to improve their conflict management skills. This model was developed by communication scholars Dan Canary and Brian Spitzberg. A competence-based approach to managing conflict is valuable, both because it works, and because it is an ethical approach to conflict management. The competence model is ethical because it emphasizes the rights of all conflict parties. Its presuppositions include respect for opposing parties and ensuring that participants are not exploited, harmed, or even ignored by one another (Canary & Lakey, 2006).
Competence is composed of two elements:
•Appropriateness (defined as following the relevant rules, norms, and expectations for specific relationships and situations)
•Effectiveness (achieving one's goals successfully)
A conflict behavior is judged to be effective only within specific situations or relationships (Spitzberg, Canary, & Cupach, 1994; Canary, Cupach, & Serpe, 2001; Canary & Lakey, 2006). For example, while competitive strategies may be competent (appropriate and effective) in the context of a sales contest at work, they wouldn't be competent for a family discussion. As this example indicates, competence requires both appropriateness and effectiveness, though individual behavior may be appropriate or effective without being both.
Contributors to Competence during Conflict
Competence during conflict interactions requires a degree of "mindfulness" or attentiveness (Ting-Toomey & Oetzel, 2001). This isn't too difficult to ensure since, as Canary and Lakey (2006) point out, conflict is not routine behavior and people tend to pay more attention to nonroutine behavior and interactions. Consciously choosing conflict strategies and tactics, while initially challenging, can be accomplished. Over time this can become unconscious behavior (Langer, 1989; Canary, 2003).
Canary and Lakey (2006) provide a variety of strategies than can help people engage in conflict more effectively. First, they suggest that individuals should learn to anticipate conflict situations so they can exercise control once the situation arises. For example, if you are in a bad mood, running late for an appointment, and/or you are under a lot of stress, you can anticipate you are more likely to feel irritable and engage in a conflict due to these contributing factors.
Similarly, you most likely know that certain topics, people, or situations can precipitate aggression, irritability, or feelings of powerlessness that will lead to conflict interactions. However, if you can anticipate your negative reaction to potential conflicts, you can limit your reactions and control your behavioral choices (Zillman, 1993).
However, if conflict is still necessary despite your efforts, you can still be mindful of the choices you make (Zillman, 1993). First, remind yourself that the outcome of the conflict is determined largely by your own skills and abilities. This will help you exert control over yourself and the situation.
Next, recognize the type of attributions you are making regarding the conflict, yourself, and the other party. Once you accept responsibility for your own contributions to the conflict, postpone making negative attributions regarding your conflict partner, and consider your own and your partner's goals in the interaction. This will make you much more effective at managing your emotions, choice of conflict strategies, and reactions to your conflict partner (Canary & Lakey, 2006).
Once people understand the desired goals of their interactions, they can more easily choose relevant and competent communication or conflict strategies (Clark & Delia, 1979; Cody, Canary & Smith, 1994). During the conflict interaction, however, you need to be aware not only of your content goals, but of your goals for the relationship and how you wish to be seen in the interaction as well.
Communicating During Conflict
Overall, you'll find that conflict interactants make two general choices regarding their communication with other conflict parties. People decide how direct or indirect they want to be, and decide how cooperative or competitive they will be (Sillars, Canary & Tafoya, 2004). Based on these dimensions, individuals can choose to be direct and cooperative (e.g. use agreement, conciliation, express feelings, problem solving, reconciling) or direct and competitive (e.g. blame, personal attacks, invalidation, confrontation, rejection).
Alternatively, they might choose to be indirect and cooperative (joking around, being noncommittal, changing the topic, or agreeing) or indirect and competitive (denial, withdrawal, evasion). As you can see, conflict participants make a general strategic choice that affects the specific conflict tactics they choose.
What does all of this mean in terms of conflict behavior? It means that individuals should engage in strategy control (Canary & Lakey, 2006). When behaving mindfully, one assesses more information and options and, therefore, understands the conflict and the partner better. As a result, people choose conflict behaviors that are responsive to the partner and themselves, increasing the possibility for cooperation, collaboration, and compromise (Canary & Lakey, 2006).

PEBBLE BEACH >> I recently spent time with swing coach Butch Harmon at his studio in Rio Secco, Nevada, where I had the opportunity to view a great collection of old Tiger Woods footage.
At its best, I don't think you would ever find a swing that possessed a more beautiful combination of power, balance and rhythm. It was a far cry from Tiger's poor performance at the PGA Championship, a week after he had to withdraw from a tournament because of a back injury.
Was it so long ago that Tiger looked indestructible, like a sure bet to best Jack Nicklaus' record 18 major championship victories? With the steady ascension of Rory McIlroy, a clear power shift is occurring in the world of golf. Even Nicklaus has turned his attention to McIlroy saying he believes Rory can claim "As many as 15-20 majors."
Watching McIlroy's confident swagger as he marched down the 17th fairway I was reminded of Tiger in his prime, winning the 2000 U.S. Open in Pebble Beach by 15 strokes. Much like Tiger, McIlroy's impressive ball striking and chiseled body can be downright intimidating. But what happens if he gets injured?
Real fitness, is when your body supports your ability to go out and effectively do the things you love. In the case of Woods or a recreational golfer, there's nothing more frustrating than when you can't express your true talent because of limitations of fitness.
You might ask how a human cyborg like Tiger, with a 30-inch waist and shoulders like John Elway, is constantly getting hurt playing a game that can be enjoyed by any beer guzzling weekend warrior.
The fact is, Tiger has a long history of setbacks dating to his days at Stanford. His list of ailments reads like an NFL injury report. Surgeries to remove benign tumors, scar tissue and cysts, ruptured ACL, torn achilles, multiple stress fractures, elbow strain, neck pain, back spasms and now multiple surgeries on his back.
Nicklaus didn't have to deal with an injury list that long or that major. Oh, he did have minor knee surgery at the age of 44 from a tweak suffered playing tennis, but then won the Skin's Game just 17 days following the procedure. Two years later he claimed his final major winning the Masters at the age of 46.
Whether you're chasing a record, or simply hoping to consistently have fun with the game, the secret to success seems to be all about longevity.
So what gives with Woods? Golf Fitness Professional, Don Imamura, who is certified by the Titleist Performance Institute and owns Functional Integrated Training in Carmel, says "Once an injury takes place a pattern of compensation often follows.
"The body is always looking to alleviate pain. While it protects one area, another area can become compromised creating an entirely different issue," Imamura said.
Following Tiger's missed cut at the PGA Championship, he remarked that he needed to get back in the gym and get stronger.
Imamura agrees.
"Tiger's not referencing the kind of power-based strength most people are thinking about. With a back injury such as his, he needs to strengthen the glutes, while working to maximize hip mobility."
So what about swing technique? Some critics think a change in coaching and swinging style are in order. Perhaps a move back to Harmon who coached a little more lateral freedom in Woods' previous form would provide his body with some relief. This past week I reviewed some recent footage that showed Tiger's shoulders unreasonably closed at impact, while his hips were rotated well open to the left. This stark difference in upper and lower body rotation, coupled with right side bending under speed and pressure can put tremendous strain on the lower back.
Will Woods migrate back to the future? Only time will tell, but the clock is ticking on history and Tiger knows it.
So what can you do if your back is keeping you on ice? According to Imamura, "Eighty percent of people experience back pain at some point in life, and not all back pain is the same.
"The best thing to do is get screened by a qualified professional and then devise a strategy that builds increased strength and mobility for sustainable pain free living on and off the course."

Dominant Sabathia holds M's in check
Dominant Sabathia holds M's in check
SEATTLE -- The Indians were counting on left-hander C.C. Sabathia to salvage the rubber game of their three-game series here Sunday with Seattle. Sabathia didn't disappoint. "He was outstanding," manager Eric Wedge said. To argue to the contrary would be to argue nonsense. For any description of Sabathia's 2-0 win over the Mariners had to include words like "outstanding," though plenty of other descriptions come to mind.
Wedge was quick to provide them, too. "He was under control the entire game," he said of Sabathia. "He mixed his pitches. He was working ahead, had a good fastball and was able to reach back a few times when he needed to reach back and get a little bit more." Essentially what Sabathia did was pitch. He was less the flame-thrower of his earlier Major League days. He looked more like the pitcher who'd carried the Indians on his broad back last September. At times Sunday, Sabathia made pitching seem downright effortless. He worked over the Mariners with a surgeon's touch. He scattered seven hits, and he did something that he and Wedge always talk about a pitcher doing better: finishing off innings. "I got a couple quick outs early and was able to get that third out without giving up a walk or a hit and having two outs with a runner on," Sabathia said. He did use that as a formula for his success. And he needed to have success -- and plenty of it -- if he hoped to keep the Tribe in the game. For Sabathia was facing Jarrod Washburn, a veteran left-hander who brought his best stuff and proved nearly Sabathia's equal. Washburn worked seven innings and allowed just four hits. Two of those hits led to runs, though. The first came in the third on Grady Sizemore's sacrifice fly that scored Ronnie Belliard. In the seventh, Belliard knocked in the game's second run. He rifled a double down the left-field line that scored Travis Hafner, whom Washburn had walked to start the inning, from first base. None of that left Sabathia with room for mistakes. The Mariners showed a night earlier that they could hang tough in a pitchers' duel. They got the best of the Tribe then, riding right-hander Joel Pineiro's fine work to a 4-1 win. The Indians had no reason to think that the Mariners weren't capable of pushing across a few runs in a tight ballgame like this one. In the fifth, the Mariners threatened to do just that. Sabathia, clinging to a 1-0 lead, gave up singles to Kenji Johjima and Jose Lopez, whose careless baserunning got him gunned down at second as Johjima cruised into third. Sabathia then struck out Yuniesky Betancourt swinging, which brought the dangerous Ichiro Suzuki up to face Sabathia. "That was probably the biggest point of the game," he said of facing Ichiro. "He does pretty good against me. Ichiro, who entered Sunday hitting .419 against Sabathia, wouldn't have success this time. Sabathia got him to ground to Jhonny Peralta at short to end the threat. "It was good to get Ichiro out," Sabathia said. That was about the only hurdle Sabathia faced as he plowed through the Mariners lineup. He went eight innings, turning a 2-0 lead over to closer Bob Wickman, who recorded three outs in the ninth to set a club record for career saves. That's all Wedge could ask of his 25-year-old ace. "He pitched smart," Wedge said. "We talked about starters finishing off innings, whether it be the sixth or the seventh or, in C.C.'s case today, the eighth inning and getting through that. He did a good job of that."

My Slutty Mom
I have a very slutty mom. She is probably the hottest mom in town, so all the guys are always eyeballing her. Even my friends have crushes on my mom, and once they got their wish. I had two friends over one day when my mom was wearing a tight shirt with a mini skirt. I tried to watch TV with my friends, but all they were doing was eyeballing my mom who was teasing them. She kept bending down to "pick something up" in front of one of my friends so many times that he reached her skirt and grabbed her. She pretended it didn't happen and walked to my other friend. She actually said to him that she hid something in her cleavage, but her arms hurt and she didn't want to move them, and asked if he could reach under her shirt and get it out of her breasts. My friend, of course, obeyed. Then she said for me to go outside and get some firewood, which was weird because we didn't have a fireplace. I tried to explain this to her, but she threatened to punish me, so out I went. I came back one hour later to see nobody downstairs. I went upstairs to my mom's room when her door suddenly opened and out she came with my two friends. My friends looked star truck. My mom's hair looked messy, and her shirt was inside out. I also couldn't help notice my mom's bra was gone. Suffice it to say, my mom had a threesome with my best friends.

I dont mean to sound brash, but in my 3 years in Jacksonville following the Jags was so confusing. The fans talk about how they love having a team, the team definitely brings downtown Jax a lot of business, but fans just do not come out. I saw folks talk about the games, watch the games, but very few were willing to go to the games.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I have talked about it a lot in the past, but I was always dumbfounded how as a Skins fans I hear and see of people who come from PA, NC, etc to come to games. Granted fans in Florida have the Dolphins and Tampa Bay, but it was just so baffling seeing how people say they love the Jags, but few ever showed up to games

They filmed a scene from the "Sex and the City" movie across the street from our office, in front of the Walter Steiger store, an emporium of sophisticated shoes and handbags any Carrie Bradshaw would die for. In early July, the store's Park Avenue windows tactfully, but still pointedly, carried the following notice—"Sale 50% off." Even the rich need incentives to shop.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, the stores inside The Westchester, the upscale mall in my hometown, shrieked 50% off. Even with "staycations" and less than spectacular weather, which should have driven more shoppers to the mall, traffic was light inside.
With each passing day of lousy (there's no better word) economic news, my resolve is weakening. So I've changed my mind. Four months ago I cautioned the sky is not falling. While no chunk of cloud has landed on my front lawn, I do believe we're now at a tipping point in consumer behavior and therefore in retailing. To validate, or refute, my hypothesis, I turned to George Rosenbaum, CEO of Chicago-based research firm Leo J. Shapiro & Associates.
"You are right about the tipping point," said Rosenbaum. "We are now entering profound social change as a consequence of energy prices that will not only change the face of retailing but even where people live and work."
Some data from Shapiro's continuing studies:
I've reviewed 30 years of retail reporting and sadly cannot find any magic formula to weather these difficult times. It appears those companies that survived past downturns had been prudent managers of growth, resisting prior Wall Street demands for headlong store openings. By resisting the allure, or pressure, of inferior locations, they avoided massive closings. They wrung every drop they could out of expenses. They connected with their customers. And they all delivered that elusive potion of "value."
Americans will continue to spend trillions, yes trillions, of dollars on food, clothing, furniture, necessities and frills. It is not as easy as it was before, but your task is to make sure they spend those dollars inside your stores, catalogs and Web sites, and not somebody else's.

First Anti-Spam Act decision delivered
For the first time in Israel, a Web site will pay damages under the new spam act. On April 2, a small-claims court in the city of Rehovot ordered P1000, an e-commerce Web site, to pay NIS2,000 (about $500) in statutory damages for sending unsolicited commercial e-mail messages without receiving prior explicit and written consent.
The court's decision follows the enactment of Amendment No. 40 to the Communications Act—the Anti-Spam Act—in December of last year. Under the Act, failure to comply with a strict opt-in regime may result in NIS1,000 in damages per message received. Violations may also result in class actions and administrative fines of up to NIS202,000 (about $50,000). In 2008, the plaintiff, Mr. Elihay Pasternak, received 60 commercial e-mail messages from P1000, despite his repeated requests for removal of his details from the Web site's contact list. P1000 sent two more messages to Pasternak after the enactment of the Anti-Spam Act, and the court ordered the maximum damages for each message sent.
The decision can be viewed at: http://www.law.co.il/media/computer-law/pasternak_p1000.pdf (Hebrew only).

When it comes to faith in sports, Tim Tebow is probably the first guy who comes to mind.
Tebow has most people thinking that being a Christian likely involves some form of constant prayer, shout-outs to Jesus and rules that get rid of a lot of fun.
But Tebow's outspokenness isn't the only way athletes sincerely approach faith. Bryce Harper, who ascribes to Mormonism, has become an example of another young, talented player who is bringing his beliefs into the public eye, albeit it in a much different way.
Both Tebow and Harper are showing the sports world that there are plenty of ways to talk about faith. And maybe, by doing that, they can help athletes and fans find a deeper understanding and growth when it comes to beliefs.
Harper is known mostly for his brash public persona, from his gamesmanship on the baseball diamond to his "clown question" cult hero status. He first broke into public consciousness when was labeled on a Sports Illustrated cover as the next great baseball player, a phenom who could hit bombs and had the tools for an incredible all-around game.
Harper's ascent to the major leagues, where he now plays for the Washington Nationals, was full of awe, but it also had some hiccups. Harper has never been shy about showing his talent, and as he conquered each stage of the game, he started showing people up, too. He's blown kisses at a pitcher, drawn lines in the dirt to show umpires where he thought strikes were balls and, overall, been pretty cocky.
That's why a lot of people do a double-take when they find out Harper is Mormon — and not just check-a-box Mormon, but follow-the-book Mormon. Harper famously doesn't drink (the source of "that's a clown question, bro"), but he also doesn't party or get into much mischief off the field.
It's difficult to imagine the impetuous Harper as a devout anything, but by all reports, he's serious about his faith. And as he becomes a larger figure in American consciousness, he hasn't been shy about acknowledging what he believes and explaining how it fits in with his everyday life.
His approach is in great contrast to Tebow. Not only do the two athletes believe different things — please, understand that evangelical Christianity and Mormonism are extremely different, and very much needing the dividing lines that people draw — but they also live their beliefs in opposite ways.
Tebow leads with his faith, making it the forefront of everything he does. His eyeblack had Bible verses, and his virginity and other life choices are prime fodder in any interview. He even preaches at church services and prays publicly with people. Harper, on the other hand, has let his play and personality carry him so far, with his faith a comfortable but not controlling part of the conversation.
Both athletes are equally polarizing. While Tebow's beliefs put most people off, Harper's attitude is what riles people against him. If anything, Tebow is the perfect example of a person living out his faith no matter the costs, while Harper is the test case for whether people will accept players' beliefs if the athletes put their game first and present their views as a secondary concern, in the realm of "I didn't know that about him," and "that's interesting."
So, which is better? Do you want someone who is upfront about his faith, who never shies away from the beliefs that have shaped his life, even to the point of being obnoxious? Or do you want a player who is in your face about how good he is but keeps his creed to himself?
Maybe the question here is not one of preference. Maybe the takeaway from seeing two guys who are so drastically different taking their faith into professional sports is that it matters less how someone presents his beliefs than that he is showing them in the first place. If faith is as important as those who follow it say it is — if it is truly life-changing and the rhythm by which people live — isn't it great that these two athletes have found ways to carry it into a professional world full of ego, poor behavior, drug use or just flat-out immaturity?
Millions of Americans follow specific beliefs and creeds, but when it comes to public life, any matter of faith has been rolled into the "religion" category, where it's become as dangerous as politics. It's a touchy point, rarely discussed because of the disagreements it can cause. Seeing athletes show how their beliefs fit into everyday life, even at such a high level, should be an encouragement in a nation that struggles when discussing the topic. Faith shouldn't be a dividing line — it should be a source of hope that brings people together. And seeing top-tier professional athletes who not only share their faith but also live it shows those watching that there's more than dogma when it comes to centering one's life around beliefs.
Whether people agree with Tebow or Harper or not, the beliefs by which they live are a major part of everyday people's lives. Learning more about faith isn't just a way to see how Tebow and Harper tick — it's a way to strengthen communities and find the life-changing truth behind the smokescreen of religion.
Tebow and Harper aren't fully representative of their respective faith communities. Mormons have to be a bit shy about some of Harper's choices, especially concerning his attitude. Some of his actions don't necessarily jive with Mormon teachings on good behavior. (Harper also breaks the mold on the clean-cut young Mormon missionary, although it should be noted that most religious sects aren't so tight on their requirements for knee-length skirts and shirts and ties these days.)
Some evangelicals are just as unsure about jumping full-force behind Tebow. While he is open about his faith and lives according to his beliefs, he has also created a narrowness about what it means to be a Christian, especially among the younger generation.
But the bottom line is that both players are leaning on their faith to change their lives, and leaning on their place in the limelight to spread their faith further. Whether their eyeblack is covered in tidy Bible verses or streaming down their faces in brash confidence, they've brought the deeper life to the shine and charade of professional sports.
Critics may pick apart how Tebow chooses to live, and whether Harper's moxie matches Mormon beliefs. But if they're talking about that, they're talking about faith. And that's a boon to anyone who believes that that's what really matters in all of this.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) delivered the message in the latest attempt to downplay expectations for Nov. 30, the administration's self-imposed deadline for fixing ObamaCare's federal enrollment site. CMS spokeswoman Julie Bataille said errors that persist past this weekend would be "intermittent" and, in line with a promise made by the White House, would not affect the vast majority of the site's users. But Bataille acknowledged that some would still experience "periods of suboptimal performance" by the system due to either heavy traffic or technical issues that are still being addressed.

But do we all feel exactly the same?
Or this is just another riddle or a game?
Is there really an unconditional love?
If yes, so, why do we have to call a cop?
Saying, 'Love is blind' is such a lame.
Because it doesn't have an eyes for us to blame.
Famous line says, love is like a 'dove'.
But I say, no, it's like a glove.
It keeps you warm on a winter time
But when the spring comes you will trade it for a precious wine.
I don't understand myself as much as I don't understand love.
And maybe that's how I should define love.
It can be mutual but can never be the same.
It can make you happy but it can also leave you with a shame.

JR in Florida, Austin DVD, WWE Network, John Morrison, JBL, Slammies, Order JR's Products Today @ WWEShop.com
Nice Saturday in Oklahoma to sit down and hammer out a blog. Hope all are well and preparing for the holidays. WWEShop.com has daily specials for JR's Products that I hope you will check out including some FREE USA Shipping options as of today. Let's kick this off...
This blog is a collection of random thoughts that come from your questions here and via Twitter @JRsBBQ:
My most recent trip to FCW in Florida was good. WWE has several, potential main eventers that are being groomed as we speak. No one candidate sticks out head and shoulders above the rest but there are many athletes that I feel will be in the hunt for a WWE roster spots sooner than later.
The process is a long one and can take years to achieve much to the chagrin of some. Back in the day many wrestlers worked in territories for years before making it to WWE so why should today be any different? I realize that times have changed but calling a wrestler up to the main roster too soon is the kiss of death more often than not it seems. The athletes that come from organizations such as ROH have a little faster track to travel or so it seems.
Many of the athletes need to focus on slowing down a knotch or two from bell to bell and to continue to dedicate themselves to the strength and conditioning program which I feel should be 100% mandantory.
Being around the prospects is always a refreshing time for me as they all seemingly want an opportunity to live their dream by becoming a WWE star.
I tell them to set their sights on headlining Wrestlemania and not to settle for simply earning a spot on the roster.
I hope to get more involved in WWE developmental as it's an exciting time with which to be involved in the process. Nothing is more important for WWE's long term success than developing tomorrow's stars and then being ready to fully utilize them once that they are called up to the big time.
Going with Bones Jones tonight in Toronto on the UFC PPV. Unless Jones makes a careless mistake, any thing can happen when men wear four ounce gloves, he should continue to build his rep and evolve as a big time star. UFC PPV's, not unlike WWE, come at the consumer at a rapid paice which makes it hard to build the needed anticipation for a specific fight/event.
Attractions/stars sell PPV's and any company that is in the PPV business must have a deep roster of PPV selling stars to build, much less maintain, their PPV revenue streams.
No idea who will be inducted into the WWE HOF in 2012 other than the unofficial announcement in Mexico City of Mil Mascaras who is the uncle of Alberto Del Rio and one of the biggest, masked stars in the history of the business.
Yes, to those that ask, I feel that Ron Simmons is deserving of a WWE HOF nod. Among many.
Apparently so many fans bombarded the nice folks at Skittles with JR soundbytes via You Tube that the Skittles people sent us a huge box of the FRUITY, DELICIOUS, OH THEY'RE GOOD, snacks. Those ad lib, sponsor billboards were fun to do back in the day. I was just having fun and trying to give the sponsor more bang for their buck.
I've been asked by many fans about going on the road to do Q&A's. I'd like to do a Roundtable-like Q&A's ala Mick Foley's standup comedy but honestly I'm not sure that the concept would sell. I assume if the right participants were involved in the Q&A's that it might. It's an interesting concept nonetheless.
Every time the 'JR' TV character gets dissed on WWE TV some fans feel that 'JR' should bolt the company that I've been with since 1993. That isn't going to happen. If my WWE tenure ended tomorrow, I'd likely consider writing a book and making a few appearences but re-engaging in a weekly, wrestling TV show is 'highly unlikely' as Gorilla Monsoon used to say. Agreed that some comments are ill advised at times but it's silly for me to invest emotion into a fictional process that is meant to anger many fans. It's obviously working to some degree.
Getting a kick out of the Tweets we receive about JR being a downloaded character in WWE12 and asking me if I did my own 'motion capture.' Uh, nope but it's a funny question.
We're getting tons of questions on the WWE Network. Sorry I don't have the answers for you but I honestly don't. I do know it's obviously a high priority project, that WWE has HUGE expectations for the Network and that many ideas are being considered for content. For any network, content is king including producing new shows of which I understand WWE is considering. I hope to have a role on the WWE Network down the road but that has yet to be determined. Nonetheless I think a successful, WWE Network has the chance to be a game changer. Obviously, launching a new TV Network is an all hands on deck, 24X7 committment by all involved. The WWE Network is scheduled to debut on Sunday April 1, 2012 which is also WM28 on PPV. Perhaps the WWE Network will have portions of its programming that day live from Miami. Just an idea.
The new, Steve Austin DVD is getting outstanding reviews by those that hit us on Twitter @JRsBBQ for its honesty and for being able to take a closer, personal look at, arguably, WWE's great star of all time. @steveaustinBSR was extremely hands on with the production of this DVD which I personally feel is one of the best productions WWE has ever done in terms of getting feedback from the primary subject and telling a compelling story.
WWEShop.com changes the specials daily on their website including our page at http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss. If you hurry, you can still get your JR's goods in time for the upcoming holidays. Individually our products make great stocking stuffers and the Packages are big hits, too.
Off topic but any talent who might complain about performing on the Tribute to the Troops special should be relieved of their post w/o exception. For the record, I've never heard of any one who ever has complained and WWE doesn't do a more important event all year than entertaining our fighting men and women.
Doing a weekly hit on YahooSportsRadio.com Saturday mornings at 10:30 central time with my pal @seancablinasian. You can listen online and the show airs in approximately 200 markets. Sean and I will spend about 30 minutes talking about a variety of topics including WWE.
Not much buzz around Norman for the Sooners trip to Arizona for the Insight Bowl versus Iowa. Spoiled Soooner fans disappointed over a 9-3 record and for not fighting harder in Bedlam versus Oklahoma State.
WWE doing a nice job building anticipation for the 1/2/12 vignettes. Wrestling fans love to anticipate and I'm surprised that more of this sort of promotion isn't done. One of the positive, by products of long term planning is to be able to do these types of vignettes, etc.
No..I don't think that Sting will ever wrestle in WWE but I do think that he will be inducted into the WWE HOF some day when he hangs it up.
Is Kurt Angle serious about trying to make the US Olympic Wrestling team? Absolutely serious according to Jerry Brisco. Kurt visited Jerry Brisco while Jerry was in a Pittsburgh hospital recently and re-enforced such with Brisco with who Angle is still close. Jerry was a coach/mentor to Kurt during Angle's WWE run. BTW, Jerry is feeling MUCH better after having two stents put in his neck area for two, seperate blockages that had previously gone undetected.
Enjoying seeing hard working Zack Ryder start to get more TV time. However, the issue of over exposure for fickle, TV viewers always exists. Hopefully, other WWE talents who are unhappy with where they are currently positioned will be as aggressive as Ryder in changing their own, professional perception.
We have approximately 300,000 Twitter followers and rarely a day goes by where someone doesn't Tweet me bitching and moaning about me not getting back to them. Amazing that some are unable to read the timeline of @JRsBBQ and see that their questions have been addressed numerous times.
Cooking question...what would I put on venision? I'd use JR's All Purpose Sesoning, it's new, ala a dry rub and allow it to sit over night in the 'fridge. Then grill, pan fry, or broil as desired. Another Twitter follower frequently prepares wild game and uses our BBQ Sauces and Ketchup with his fare successfully.
@CMPunk should win WWE Superstar of the Year. End of story. I may even try to attend this Monday's show in Norfolk. Or simply watch the three hour special from home. Reminds me, I need to adjust my DVR for Monday.
Do I think that Chris Jericho and Dave Batista have wrestled their last matches in WWE? No...but that may simply be my personal, wishful thinking. Few performers want to walk away when there's gas left in the tank and with good paydays to be earned. Plus, being on WWE TV is a global marketing tool that furthers other endeavors. Just my two cents and, again, because I like both men's work it may be simply wishful thinking on my part.
Had to opportunity to call a fantastic match Wednesday at Full Sail University between Cody Rhodes/Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus/Daniel Bryan. Not sure if it ever airs on TV, unlikely actually, but those four tore it up in a very unique and intriging environment. They wrestled approximately 20 minutes and rocked the place. Better than many TV main events and PPV bouts that I've seen.
It's amazing that we get questions about Matt Hardy returning to WWE, must be from really young, immature fans, when it's obvious that Matt needs to successfully finish drug and alcohol rehab or face serious, jail time or worse. Matt can turn his life around if he chooses to and that's infinately more important than wrestling.
I'm not bothered by John Morrison leaving WWE and choosing to step away from the day to day rigors of the business to allow his body to heal and to recharge his creative batteries. No one can predict when Morrison will return to the ring but I suspect it will be serveral months. I think stepping away from weekly travel in a demanding business that has no off season is a wise thing to do if one has the ability to do so especially if one has had injury issues. John is still a young guy and I will be surpised if he doesn't return to WWE better than ever and in a much better position.
Saw @JCLayfield on Fox this morning and John does a helluva job talking finances and politics. Smart guy. I don't expect to ever see JBL wrestle again but I do feel that he could be utilized on the new, WWE Network and other non combat roles. I will always regret that JBL and I never got to broadcast a PPV together.
Hope you check out the specials at http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss and consider our products for a portion of your holiday shopping.
Boomer Sooner!

Astronauts carry out final shuttle-based spacewalk
NASA's Fossum and Garan to retrieve failed pump from ISS
The last spacewalk ever to be part of a space shuttle mission is underway outside the International Space Station. NASA's Mike Fossum and Ron Garan started their 6-and-a-half hour spacewalk at 9:22 a.m. ET Tuesday, when they switched their spacesuits to battery power. Even though the two astronauts arrived at the ISS on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft earlier this year, the spacewalk is considered part of the last-ever shuttle mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. That's because Fossum and Garan are retrieving a broken ammonia pump outside the space station that will return to Earth on Atlantis. They will also install the Robot Refueling Mission, a box of tools and satellite components that will allow the Canadian Dextre Robot to test whether it can handle tools to repair satellites in space.

Butterball's brand name commands a higher price in stores, and the company is now called Butterball LLC. After selling only to restaurants and grocery stores for decades, it no longer
has to worry about developing a brand name as it expands its consumer business.
ConAgra tended to focus on the whole bird, which only accounts for about one-fourth of turkey meat sales. The other Butterball products--including turkey burgers, filets, tenderloins, turkey sausage, turkey bacon and turkey strips--often got lost among ConAgra's massive product line, according to Butterball president and CEO Keith Shoemaker.

text: A team fighting for first place late in the season is routed by a lottery-bound team led by a player on a 10-day contract. And, just for good measure, let's say the lottery team finishes the game short-handed because two starters come down with the very same injury. That sounds almost as preposterous as the Washington Wizards losing to the Kentucky Wildcats. While the world never will know for sure whether the Wizards could handle the Final Four school, they certainly had no problem making the Philadelphia 76ers look a bit amateurish Friday night. Washington took a double-digit lead early in the second quarter and never let up in a 97-76 victory.

It's simple, and free.
As with other types of monitoring, employers protest that monitoring employee e-mail can help determine that a particular employee might be planning to carry out violent acts within the workplace, or may indicate that an employee is using the computer network for excessive personal tasks. However, critics of this technique argue that employers should base their decisions on employee performance, not monitoring, and that reading an employee's e-mail is tantamount to listening to an employee's phone conversations despite the good intention of the employer.
Telephone monitoring is also becoming increasingly common. Telemarketers and customer support personnel are often well aware that their phone calls may be monitored, and those who call these individuals are used to the warning that their conversation may be monitored in order to ensure better customer service. However, such monitoring can also be used to track whether personal phone calls are being made, and whether the employee is offering defamatory or even simple negative information about the company or its products (Deck 6).
Companies have long tracked long distance phone calls made by employees on company phones in order to recover the costs from employees. For many companies, this is a simple way to let employees know that while personal phone calls are permitted--even long distance ones--the employee is expected to exercise reasonable judgment and to pay the company for the call after it is completed. Although long distance rates have declined significantly in recent years, the ability to use an employer's commercial discount on long distance calls--even though the employee would have to reimburse the company later--was long considered one of the perquisites of working for a large organization.
Video surveillance is not new to the workplace, and has been commonplace in a variety of settings. Video surveillance cameras have long been installed in banks and convenien...


text: Archived: Brazil: IPCA-15 Inflation at 10.7% YoY; Inflation Among Freely Determined Prices Accelerates to 8.6% YoY (Ramos) iCrowdNewswire - Jan 27, 2016 Goldman, Sachs & Co. Brazil: IPCA-15 Inflation at 10.7% YoY; Inflation Among Freely Determined Prices Accelerates to 8.6% YoY (Ramos) IPCA-15 inflation printed at a high 0.92% in January (in line with consensus expectations). Annual headline IPCA-15 inflation reached 10.74% in January, up from 10.71% in December. The average of the three main core inflation measures remained high: 0.69% in January (versus 0.82% in December) with the annual measure now tracking at 9.00% (up from 9.05% in December). Inflation in January was pressured by still intense upward pressure in food and beverages (1.67% vs. 2.02% in December) and the initial impact from increases in urban transportation fares and cigarette prices. This was only partially offset by the seasonal decline in airfares (-5.8% vs. +36.5% in Dec) and moderating fuel price inflation. Overall, administered prices rose 0.91% in January (also 0.91% mom in December and 1.00% a year ago), and market-determined prices rose by 0.92% (up from 0.86% a year ago). The inflation diffusion reached 75% in January, up from 70% a year ago; a telling sign that inflationary pressures remain highly generalized. Services inflation moderated to 0.56% in January (from 1.03% in December), leaving the annual measure at 8.01% (versus 8.3% in December). Inflation among the items whose prices are freely determined/set by the market (prices determined by supply and demand in the market: 75% weight in the IPCA) rose to 8.6% yoy (up from 8.5% yoy in November and 6.9% a year ago), and inflation in prices that are regulated by the government (25% weight in the IPCA) eased to 18.0% yoy (down from 18.1% in December). Inflation has admittedly been under pressure from the large increase in a number of administered prices, but we stress that despite the ongoing recession and labor market deterioration, inflation in the set of freely determined prices is tracking at a high 8.6% yoy (up from 6.9% in Jan 2016) with services inflation sticky above 8.0% for over three years. The lagged pass-through from BRL depreciation, pass-through (second-round effects) from the large shock to administered prices to freely determined prices, inertia, and formal and informal indexation mechanisms are likely to keep inflation under significant pressure in 2016 despite the projected severe contraction of real GDP. The outlook for 2016-17 inflation remains challenging. Inflation expectations for 2016-17 have been steadily moving up since early August on the anticipation of additional pass-through from BRL depreciation, renewed pressures from administered prices, federal and local tax hikes, the large (11.7%) increase in the minimum wage, and the moving central bank timeframe for full inflation convergence to the target (from the original end-2016, to the softer open-ended relevant horizon for monetary policy, and lately to a distant end-2017). Hence, despite successive downward revisions to the 2015-2016 real GDP growth outlook, 2016 inflation expectations rose to 7.0%, from 5.4% in August, and are now well above the 6.50% upper limit of the generous inflation target band. KEY NUMBERS: IPCA Headline Inflation (Dec): 0.92% mom (10.74% yoy) vs. GS at 0.92% and consensus at 0.92%. Core (average of three measures): 0.69% mom (9.00% yoy).
