Sylvester Stallone's 2010 hit The Expendables was the manliest thing we've seen since that time Charles Atlas got drunk with a bear, stole its girlfriend and then went back in time to beat up Genghis Khan. The film was little more than an excuse to get as many (male) action stars on screen at one time while beating each other up, and starred Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Gary Daniels and many, many more. The sequel was inevitable, but Stallone's involvement? A little less so, at least as a director.
Yes, the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Sylvester Stallone currently has no intention of directing The Expendables 2, and has been meeting with other filmmakers about the project. No word on whom, but given the superstar nature of the film we'd certainly hope his shortlist is an action aficionado's wet dream. A brief list of directors we'd like to shamelessly promote for the job:
John McTiernan (Predator), Jackie Chan (Police Story), Luc Besson (Leon: The Professional), Corey Yuen (The Transporter), Roland Emmerich (Universal Soldier), John Carpenter (Assault on Precinct 13), Tony Scott (Man on Fire), Walter Hill (The Warriors), Louis Leterrier (Unleashed) …Sorry, we'd go on but we're just drooling now.
There's been a lot of speculation about The Expendables 2, which Stallone claims he's "going to try to do something that's quite radical" with. One of the more popular internet memes has revolved around an all-star action heroine lineup to counter our heroes, consisting of the likes of Sigourney Weaver, Cynthia Rothrock, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Yeoh, Linda Hamilton and so on, but there's nothing substantiating that idea. It just seems cool. At the very least Arnold Schwarzenegger's schedule should be opened up by now, allowing him to take on an actual role in the sequel.
Crave Online will return with more Expendables news if it turns out to be pendable after all.

Our family is committed to buying local, especially locally grown foods. Every summer, we take full advantage of the Salem Farmers' Market, just minutes from our home. With gorgeous sunny weather and the farmers' market hours lining up perfectly for when Larry gets home from the train, taking Judah on his first trip to the farmers' market made for a great summer outing with baby! Read more for all the fun, plus our special Rustic Farmers' Market Pasta Recipe!
Farmers' Market Follies with Baby!
Looking for some fun summer activities for babies? Head on over to your local farmers' market for a sunny outing with baby while supporting your community!
The Bumpy Journey
Living in a colonial city that's nearly 400 years old, the brick sidewalks can be a bit bumpy. Judah got jostled around a bit on our walk to the farmers' market, but didn't seem to mind too much.
The Salem Farmers' Market
Our farmers' market is as rich in history as it is in delicious, locally grown produce: the Salem Farmers' Market is a local tradition that dates all the way back to 1634!
Fresh Farm Produce for a Song
Larry picks up all manner of fresh veggies and herbs from a farm just 30 miles from where we live. And since it was close to the end of the market hours, we scored some great deals.
Yummy Handmade Pasta
With so many choices of delicious handmade pasta, from Spicy Sriracha Spaghettini to Lemon Basil Linguine it was hard to pick just one. We settled on a bright green Spinach Fettuccine for our dinner.
Farmers' Market Fun for All Ages
Young or old, your local farmers' market is a great place to meet up with members of your community. We even met another couple with a young baby who told me about a new moms' group that meets locally, too!
The Baby and the Baguette
Is Judah bigger than a bread box? Not yet – but he's getting there!
A Farmers' Market Feast
After a rousing afternoon, Larry and I enjoy a sumptuous rustic pasta dinner with local ingredients while Judah, clearly tuckered from all the excitement, takes a well-deserved nap.
We managed to make an entire meal from everything we bought at the farmers' market that evening, for less than thirty dollars. We bought fresh spinach linguine from Valicenti Organico, a delicious sourdough loaf from Pain D'Avignon, all of our veggies from Long Hill Orchard and Farm and delicious grass-fed beef from Salem's own Milk & Honey Green Grocer.
Rustic Farmers' Market Pasta Recipe
Try to source as many items as you can from local vendors at your own community farmers' markets!
- 1 lb fresh pasta
- 1 lb grass-fed, organic beef
- 1 loaf sourdough bread, sliced
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 3-4 large spring onions
- 3-4 large greenhouse or heirloom tomatoes
- 1 cup tomato sauce (if needed)
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste
- Get a large pot of salted water boiling for your pasta. While waiting for water to boil, finely chop your onions and coarsely chop parsley.
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil and sauté your chopped onions at medium high heat. When the onions have just begun to sweat, add in your ground beef.
- When beef is nearly done, add in your chopped parsley and allow to wilt, stirring occasionally.
- Crush tomatoes by hand and add to beef and onions; you may chop them into large chunks if it's easier first. Stir. If you want a slightly denser sauce, add up to 1 cup of tomato sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Toast a few slices of sourdough bread as you add the fresh pasta to the boiling water.
- Boil pasta for 5 minutes maximum; using tongs, transfer pasta from boiling water to your saucepan and gently stir the pasta into the sauce, allowing the pasta to finish cooking in the sauce.
- Take out sourdough toast and lightly brush slices with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Lightly sprinkle some salt on each slice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy. Makes four generous servings.

The Academic Advising Center is located on the first and second floors of Richardson Building.
Labeled building 5 on campus maps, Richardson Building is on the quad between St. Charles Avenue and Freret Street, between Richardson Memorial Hall (School of Architecture) and Stanley Thomas Hall. It is across the quad from its twin, F. Edward Hébert Hall.
Richardson Building was among the first four buildings constructed in 1894 when Tulane University of Louisiana moved from downtown New Orleans to the current uptown campus across from Audubon Park. Originally built for the department of chemistry, Richardson was later expanded in 1908 to also accommodate the educational needs of medical students who were then moving uptown into the new Richardson Memorial Hall next door. It was after the 1908 expansion, which included the large amphitheater-style lecture hall, that the building was named the Tulane Richardson Chemical Institute. The additions to the uptown campus in 1908 were funded by a generous donation from Ida Richardson, wife of the late Dr. Tobias Gibson Richardson, former Dean of the Medical School.

TUDiabetes Mission and Beliefs
In the last couple of weeks I was in chat and an individual came in who was expressing a political view point that was different than mine. My immediate reaction was to attack but I saw he was a relatively new member, so I advised that we have two off limits topics in chat: religion and politics.
Now to be fair I am a fairly political person, I tend to hold a set of beliefs' that makes me not always a group favorite. The difference between me and others is that I am willing to say them out loud and defend my position with a forceful approach. In short I tend to never back down from a fight in order to defend or advance my position. I understand my positions are not always popular but that has not and never will be something I worry much about. The person who came into chat had the same personality but a different and equally as valid position so you can tell a fight was brewing.
Now knowing this about myself, I asked on one of the administrators to intervene. The administrator did intervene and after a rather ugly exchange the individual asked to be removed from the group, which was promptly done.
Again let me state we have two hard and fast rules in chat, no politics and no religion. It is usually not a big issue but occasionally it has to be brought up. I am appreciative of that rule and try to honor it as best I can and yes occasionally someone reminds me and others of the rule. The reason for the rule is clear we are a community which is dedicated to helping diabetics, not political parties or religious groups.
So this brings me to the essence of what I believe makes our community different and one of the main values we must protect in order to keep our organization strong. You see we are a big tent, we offer membership without cost to anyone interested in our mission of supporting diabetics and diabetic causes. We of course want a cure, (but we are not organized around "finding a cure"), instead we are organized with the mission of support, for diabetics and their families.
In short our mission is bigger than finding a cure and even if one were found today our mission would continue for years to come. I question if the ADA and others will have the same life span? Several groups are invested almost exclusively on "finding a cure" and are missing (in my opinion) the real issue, the person who has the illness.
I bet you can remember when you were first diagnosed and you had dozens of questions and really no one to turn too. I know after diagnosis I certainly had questions but really no one to really go to without saying first hey I am not very bright. Despite not being very bright (separate issue) I still deserved a place to ask questions and get up to date answers. The same applies to families and care givers. This is the place where TUDiabetes excels. In fact if anything it is our niche and we have to support that mission.
So at TUDiabetes we have to continually answer the question: what is our mission, how do we best serve diabetics and their families, and how do we respond to new challenges? Yes we have a basic mission, yes one of the rules of membership is that politics and religion are not allowed to be discussed in chat, in the future we will likely need to hone our mission but our basic belief cannot change. We are here to support diabetics and their families. We are here to help diabetics to not live in silent isolation.
I am proud of our mission, and despite my political views, I am glad I do not need to express them in order to be accepted. There is no acid test to join. But there are rules for belonging. In the future those rules will no doubt change and evolve. As we evolve as an organization that is to be expected. My belief is that we must first protect our basic mission. I believe we will, and yes I do not believe politics and religion (mine or yours) should corrupt the basic mission.
Oh and as a final thing I want to say thank you to the administrative team member who stepped up and took the heat last week and protected our mission. It was not easy to do or watch and I am glad they did our community is too important to allow one person new or old to subvert our purpose. I hope when you see this occur (we all do from time to time) you also thank the administrative team member who protects our community. Thanks Gary!!!!!
Hi Rick, this blog is one of your most important to date. I would just note that I hate it when politics come up in the forums as well. When it happens, it is so easy to want to get involved, so necessary to let it go. For the record, I have strong political views also! Thanks to you and Gary both for helping to keep the vital TuD mission safe.
thanks RICK, TRUDY & GARY
All i want to say is that mission that you are passionate about helped me in a very difficult time. it helped me make the right choices and I received so much good advice one can never be thankful enough for the support. Never was a dumb question ever not treated ad critically important. This is because all the people on the other side have walked down the same road and had the same fears and questions.Mostly to afraid to ask. This forum gives you the opportunity to be able to ask those simple questions. So to all of you here and those that have passed and will not be forgotten thank you for everything. Hey I still ask dumb questions and still get good advice.You may not understand just how important and critical it is too me as an individual that has zero medical support.
Yes, very important mission. TuD saved my sanity after I was dx, perhaps not literally, but I was not getting on with the one size fits all approach to diabetes put forward by many medical staff and TuD showed me other ways to cope. Thanks guys.
100000% agree with u rick! GREAT POST!
Thank You Rick for your support. I agree that the mission of TuDiabetes is of utmost importance and is much more important than anyone's political views.
I do want to point out that all members of our Admin group share my commitment to making this a safe place for all. I just happen to be present at the moment.
Go team!!!!!
As always, Rick, you hit the nail right on the head :)

Hello andwelcome to Just Answer !
Does she show any other signs ?
Is she in kindergarden or pre-school yet ?
How is her work in school ?
Has the teacher or others noticed anything ?
Anything else you want to add ?
Was walking, feeding herself, learning, all else been normal ?
As soon as I get the answers to these, lets talk !
If you doctor is saying no, and from everything you have stated, she's just shy, it could also be the age.
Children when they first start pre school and even into kindergarden, they feel a little overwhelmed by it all, all the different children the new adults, a new area they really aren't used to ! But as she advances in age, she will either grow out of it, or when she starts to make friend's she will feel more secure in her school !
Her motor skills, your doctor will know best, XXXXX XXXXX its age as she grows she will improve. Her way of speaking and doing projects, that will all change.
During the summer practice with her so she keeps colors, numbers, words, etc. in her memory. Give her regular projects to do. The library is a great place to help during the summer. They have many different programs to keep the children interested and to keep their little minds active and busy !
Just take it a step at a time and encourage her, work on projects with her and make it a fun time ! I believe you will be surprised at how fast she will soon be !
And if she is the little chatterbox at home, she will be when she feels secure, keep helping and talking to her she will get over the major shyness after awhile !
If you have any other questions or concerns, I will be here !

Help! We have a 14 year old obese male tabby that was recently
diagnosed as diabetic and we're having a heck of a time getting him to
eat. About a week ago he got very sick and was probably leading up to
this slowly for weeks. A week ago he became very lethargic and
basically out of it so badly that within 24 hours we had him into the
emergency vet. He had severe ketoacidosis, dehydration and blood sugar
levels over 700. They told us he was literally hours from death. So
he was given fluids, insulin, etc. and stayed there for 4 days. We
brought him him 48 hours ago. Yesterday I force fed him 2 meals and 2
snacks and that was an awful mess I could tell he absolutely hated.
This morning I tried again to force feed him and he had his jaw clamped
tight and refused. Since he entered the hospital and once home he's
been on a diabetic diet using special Purina canned food. So anyway, I
phoned the vet and she told me it was more important to get him to eat
than to worry about what so I've given him a buffet of his favorite
foods today, including the hard food he's eaten and enjoyed for years.
He nibbled a tiny amount of Fancy Feast and licked the gravy off
another, took about two licks of a bowl of milk, and that's it. He's
clearly not hungry. At first we thought he didn't like the food but
we've offered some of his favorites and nothing.
I know I'm rambling a bit here but I'm quite distressed over this cat.
He's been such a wonderful cat and although he was so, so sick, we made
the decision and went to the huge expense to have him treated. Now we
are wondering if we made the right decision. Does he have something
else going on that's causing his loss of appetite? Was there lasting
and potentially fatal damage from being so sick? In the hospital his
liver and kidney function tested normal although he did have a large
amount of ketones which lessed with treatment.
We're just at a loss as to how to get this cat to eat. I'm willing to
force feed him temporarily but if I can't get his jaw open even that is
somewhat impossible. So any suggestions as to how to get him to eat?
Any theories on his prognosis? It's been an extremely emotional
roller-coaster of a week and we're ready to settle down into a routine.
The insulin injections are no big deal. He handles it well and we
don't have a problem giving them. But without eating we don't have to
do that.
Thanks for reading and for the advice and input,
Biggerbadderba 2008-04-20 14:34:13
Son my son
You need to take the cat on a long a** walk.
If he won't walk on a leash.
Put him in the car, go find a big vacant field, carry him out in the
middle of it, and he will follow you back. Repeat until he is hungry.
You gotta get his heart rate back up, his energy level. His metabolism
back up.

Call your vet and ask him/her about cyproheptadine (periactin) which is
used as an appetite stimulant for cats. It's much easier than force
feeding. It has worked great on the 2 cats I have used it on and
several other people on this ng have also used it successfully. It has
few, if any, side effects other than making them a little restless at
first. Usually, I only give one or 2 doses and that jumpstarts their
Cheryl 2008-04-20 14:35:21
I'm sorry about your kitty. I wonder if he's nauseous and that's
why he isn't hungry? Maybe ask your vet about Pepcid AC or Zantac,
and the dosage. Candace's advice is good too, but keep in mind if
there's nausea, he won't eat even with a stimulant. The vet may
have other suggestions for nausea, such as metoclopramide (Reglan).
(they don't list any contraindications for diabetic cats)

Phil p. 2008-04-20 14:35:33
Have you been monitoring his blood glucose since he's been home? Its very
important that you do even if he hasen't eaten. Does your vet know you
haven't been giving him insulin? If not, you better tell him right away.
Insulin inhibits the breakdown (lipolysis) of fat and slows down or stops
the production of ketones.
Has he urinated since he's been home? Did your vet give you urine dipsticks
to monitor ketones?
You might get him to eat by pur ing canned kitten food in a blender with a
little water and feeding it to him with a syringe. There's a gap between
his teeth just behind his canine teeth where the tip of a feeding syringe
will fit without having to force open his mouth. feed him slowly so he
doesn't choke or aspirate the food into his lungs. He might even eat the
kitten food straight out of the can- kitten food is very palatable. You
could also try warming the food up a bit to a little less than body temp-
warmed food is more aromatic and may stimulate his appetite. Don't worry
about feeding kitten food- many vets now use kitten food to treat diabetic
cats. Just let your vet know.
The "Top Paws" Mothering Kit contains the ideal feeding syringe. The hole
can be made larger for feeding thicker foods by simply cutting off a piece
of nozzle with a razor or sharp scissors. Petsmart sells the kit for $3.99.
Here's what it looks like:
Best of luck,
Karen 2008-04-20 14:35:56
in article email@example.com, Candace at
Another possibility or in addition to this, get some a/d from the vet and a
force feeder syringe. Even if his mouth is clamped, you squirt in from the
side back behind the canines. Between the two things, you should be able to
get him eating again.

Hello Garland,
Please go onto the message board at www.felinediabetes.com. There are
people there who have been through EVERY cat-diabetic situation
imaginable. They are normally on the board almost all the time, and they
probably have a lot of hints for you. They helped me immensely.
I know with our diabetic cat — we would first try to get him to eat
anything (we had all different stinky wet cat foods, like sardines,
etc.) then we would mix some of that with the food we wanted him to eat.
It could sometimes be a dance. Our cat had pancreatitus too, so during
an attack he would start fasting and then the fun would start…
Good luck with your cat,
Elle 2008-04-21 06:27:57
I STRONGLY second this. I knew nothing about feline diabetes when my cat was
diagnosed with diabetes (unfortunately, not soon enough). Someone here sent
me to the Feline Diabetes Message Board (a sub-site of the above site), and
the information and support was amazing. I believe the knowledge these
people have and share is unsurpassed.

Federal land study underway, scope has changed
BERLIN – The economic impact study of federal land ownership in Coos County is under way. But the scope of the study has changed from the original proposal submitted by HDR Engineering.
The Boston office of HDR Engineering has been awarded the contract to do the study. HDR economist Jonathan Lee will serve as project manager with the assistance of two other company economists. HDR was selected out of six firms that submitted proposals to do the study.
County Treasurer Fred King, who has overseen the project for the county commissioners along with North Country Council, introduced Lee to the commission at its monthly meeting last week.
Lee told the commissioners the project is not a federal land study but rather an economic study of public land ownership in Coos County.
He said the project is broken into five key tasks:
1) First is a review of existing economic, demographic, fiscal, and conservation trends in the county including the unincorporated places. It will include a history of federal lands acquisition and an evaluation of current conditions of key industries including forestry, biomass, and tourism. Lee said that work is underway and should be completed soon.
2) A literature review, which includes reading previous studies on economic development and local conservation efforts as well as looking at other U.S. and federal conservation programs. Lee said this task, which is also underway, will look at lessons learned.
3) Public outreach with interviews of key stakeholders. Lee said the firm hopes to do as many interviews as possible in-person. The scoping document requires 15 in-person interviews and allows the rest to be will be conducted by phone. Once a draft report is developed, a public hearing will be held.
4) Identify issues and opportunities related to conservation alternatives being considered for the county. Those alternatives include acquisition, less-than-fee acquisition such as conservation easements, or management of acquisition
5) Estimate fiscal and economic impacts of different conservation alternatives including job trends. The report will look at different expansion options for the Umbagog refuge, county, and other public lands.
King said Lee had already interviewed NCC Executive Director Jeffrey Hayes and was interviewing Wagner Forest Management CEO Tom Colgan that day. King said he tried to set up an interview session with Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge Manager Paul Casey but Casey has been furloughed because of the federal government shutdown. He said the interviews will target forest managers, industry owners, and business leaders.
Commissioners were advised that County Administrator Jennifer Fish is the contact person if they want to submit names of people to be interviewed.
HDR has five months to do the study at a cost of $44,650. King said he is still hopeful federal funds will be available to pay for the study. The county delegation has authorized up to $50,000 for the project.
HDR's original proposal, submitted last November, placed a larger focus on the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge and its 15-year Comprehensive Conservation Plan to expand the refuge by almost 48,000 acres.
The proposal said the expansion has the potential to negatively impact forest jobs, biomass, tourism, and other supporting industries. In addition, the proposal said the impacts could also lead to a reduction in local tax revenues.
"Given the importance of these industries to Coos County's economy, it is critical to better understand these potential impacts," the proposal stated.
But last week, Lee said the scope of the project had changed since the firm's original proposal. He referred questions to Fish who released the scoping document.
In its proposal, HDR noted the federal government owns 259,460 acres in Coos County or 22 percent of the total land in the county. The bulk of that land is within the White Mountain National Forest. The Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge contains over 27,000 acres. Commissioner Paul Grenier said he wants to see a clean and objective study.
"We may all have some eye-opening reactions," he said.
King, who admitted he has strong views on federal land ownership, said his involvement is over with the selection of HDR. He said the firm has no axe to grind and expressed confidence it will do a good job.
"This really is about the economic future of the county," he said.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minneapolis city leaders say they want to rebuild a new Vikings stadium at the Metrodome site.
Two Senate panels took testimony Tuesday on funding possibilities for a state share of the stadium. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak says using the Metrodome would cost $215 million cheaper than the team's preferred option of building a $1.1 billion stadium in suburban Ramsey County.
Rybak also offered a $300 million local share from an existing local sales tax. He says the Minneapolis Armory could be converted to a game-day events center.
Supporters of numerous expanded gambling proposals touted their plans as potential funding sources. That includes a new proposal from northwestern Minnesota's White Earth Tribal Nation to build a Twin Cities-area casino and share revenue with the state for stadium funding.

I've seen "talking" cats before–I used to have a cat that would "talk" to you. For example, if you came in the door and said, "Hello" to him, he would meow back. But, I have never seen a "singing" cat. Can your cat "sing" or "talk"? Enjoy.

The Gaming Control Board recently approved the latest machines, which allow you to set up your account, put money into it, make your bets and get a voucher to collect your winnings all right at the bar. The Nevada Gaming Commission also approved a profit-sharing agreement between Leroy's Sportsbook and Golden Gaming, so you'll see the kiosks all over town soon enough.
But I have a funny feeling the kiosks won't survive. Here's why:
Big Gaming surely sees this as a threat on the horizon, and I can imagine narrowed eyes among gaming executives as they consider how to force sports bettors back into the big casinos.
Ostensibly, this is about allowing sports betting at bars with restricted gaming licenses or continuing to force players to cash in their winning tickets at bigger properties with unrestricted licenses. But I think we all know what this is really about: competition, especially for local customers.
"It's the same old story of established business trying to regulate away their competition," says Geoffrey Lawrence, of the libertarian Nevada Policy Research Institute.
If this sounds vaguely familiar, it should: This year, the resort association successfully lobbied the county and then the Nevada Gaming Commission to effectively shut down the business model of Dotty's, the little slot parlors that dot the valley like pubs in Dublin.
Peter Bernhard, the chairman of the commission and the only dissenting vote on the Dotty's issue, believes the gaming kiosks are materially different from the Dotty's situation because its business model was approved more than a decade ago. The confusion with the kiosks, Bernhard says, has to do with whether they are mere communication devices or if they're actual games — thus subject to strict limits.
Virginia Valentine, head of the powerful Nevada Resort Association, says this move to sports betting in bars would put us on a different path from the long tradition of "Las Vegas-style gambling" — large resorts that inject capital and jobs into the community. Instead, it would move us toward a model more like London, where slots and sports betting are on every corner.
The commission approved the Leroy's/Golden Gaming licensing agreement through the summer of 2013, which will allow the Legislature to settle this policy question if it so chooses.
How much do you want to bet that the resort association will be throwing its weight around at the next Legislature, out to kill the betting kiosks? And if that doesn't work, it'll plead before the Gaming Commission to destroy what will no doubt be cast as "unfair, job-killing competition."
But it's not just Big Gaming that doesn't like pesky innovators. Think of the cab industry: Just a handful of companies, and no more than about 2,000 cabs on the road at any one time as declared by regulatory fiat. They're sort of like OPEC.
These industries are always sure to set aside plenty of money for lobbying and political campaigns.
Of course, there are legitimate reasons some industries are heavily regulated. We want cabs to be safe, and we want the gaming industry to be on the up-and-up.
True, but as Lawrence says of Big Gaming's use of its juice to squeeze out innovative competitors, it sure feels like "the horse and buggy industry saying the automobile unfairly changes the game. For most people, it's a sign of progress. But of course some people stand to lose," he says.
Unless the big guys can pressure legislators and regulators to stand with them.
We think of Nevada as a "pro-business state." We have low taxes and relatively light regulation on issues like environmental cleanup and worker safety, especially compared to California. But when you consider the immense advantages we give to incumbent businesses — businesses that are already here — the more accurate way to think of our business climate is that we're pro-business, if you already have one.

Scene Last Night: Schwarzman Devil, Midler's Coco Chanel
The blond nurse, in white uniform, had a message pinned to her back: "Obama Wins 2nd Term!"
"I dressed as my host's worst fear," said the nurse, actually Ron Grelsamer, a knee surgeon at Mount Sinai Hospital. "I thought, what would scare him the most?"
The joke was intended for Blackstone Group LP (BX)'s chief executive officer and chairman, Steve Schwarzman, a Romney supporter and the host of a Nui Nui Hui Table last night at "Hulaween," a costume party to benefit the New York Restoration Project.
Asked if he'd been scared, Schwarzman said "No comment" as he dug into a meal of pate and steak frites prepared by Jean- Georges Vongerichten at a table decorated with mini-Eiffel towers and bloody gourds (the blood was dripped red wax). The party's theme this year was "Une Saison en Enfer."
Besides the nurse from hell, Schwarzman's company included a fetching Marilyn Monroe, a prim French maid, Batman and a woman in a tinsel wig who said she came from Planet Fabulous.
Schwarzman dressed as a French devil. He'd arrived at the Waldorf Astoria holding a pitch fork and wearing tails, a red sequined bow tie, a black top hat and a Gallic sash.
"I've always loved Halloween," Schwarzman said. He could not recall his favorite costume as a kid growing up in Abington, Pennsylvania.
Hurricane Talk
The event took place two days after Hurricane Sandy struck the region. Conversation revolved around the destruction she caused, including loss of life, homes, and power outages.
"I can't believe you're here, give yourself a great big hand, you made it!" Bette Midler, founder of New York Restoration Project, said to guests from the stage.
Costumed as Coco Chanel, Midler then did a musical number set to "Can Can," thanking donors. Michael Kors, Al Gore, Martha Stewart, Ellen Levine, Ann Ziff and Warren Eisenberg, co- chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY) received mentions.
Many focused on the storm's impact on the very things that New York Restoration Project works to create and maintain: community gardens, green spaces in underserved neighborhoods, trees all over the city.
"I'm weeping for a lot of trees at the New York Botanical Garden," one of the event's honorees, Amy Goldman, said. "We lost about 92 old-growth trees."
Goldman dressed as a hot chili pepper, a nod to the book she's working on about peppers.
Blondie closed out the evening, with Debbie Harry, in Heidi braids and blue showgirl feathers, singing the band's hits and one cover.
"Since so many of us don't have them, I'm going to sing 'Lights,'" Harry said, introducing Ellie Goulding's pop hit.

Ukiah Daily Journal
Tonight the Ukiah High Wildcats Girls Varsity JV and Freshman Basketball Teams and host their North Bay League home openers, with all three teams playing their counterparts from Maria Carrillo High.
All three Ukiah teams finished off pre-league play with tournament action. The Varsity and JVs started the new year seeing action in the Vacaville High Varsity and JV Tournaments held last week, January 2 - 3. Both teams made a good showing, with the Varsity winning the Consolation Championship and the JVs taking Third Place. The Wildcats Freshman took part in the Cardinal Newman Tournament December 26 - 28.
On Tuesday all three Wildcats teams made the trek down to Santa Rosa to open NBL play with games with the Cardinal Newman Cardinals. In the first game of the day, the Freshmen dropped a close game, 39-30. The Wildcats JVs played next and won handily by a final score of 58-29.
The feature game of the evening, the Varsity game, the Wildcats had a hard time getting untracked with their shooting at the start of the game, missing shots from near and far. With only 3 minutes to go in the first quarter, they had managed to put up just 4 points to Newman's 15. They scored 7 points before the quarter ended, but so did Newman to lead 22-11.
For the remainder of the game the Wildcats had to play a game of catch up. They almost did catch up in the third quarter, narrowing Newman's lead to just five points at 50-45 with 2 minutes to play in the quarter. They had a chance to cut that margin at the line but missed free throws, while Newman made a couple and added a putback to lead 54-45 going to the fourth quarter.
Having expended so much energy in the effort to catch up, it appeared that the Wildcats had little left in the tank in the final quarter, scoring a grand total of 4 points to Newman's 14 for a final score of 68-45.
The Wildcats actually took a lead very early in the game when senior guard Courtney Mee hit a 3-point goal to put Ukiah up 3-2. A bit later Ukiah tied the game on a free throw by senior center Ally Milone, two minutes having been played in the quarter.
It was at that point that Wildcats went ice cold from the field for a stretch of three minutes. The Cardinals had begun to press, which caused the Wildcats a fair amount of effort and time on the shot clock to bring the ball up court, not to mention some turnovers.
In the meantime Newman got two threes from junior guard Kylie Kiech and some transition buckets and free throw. The Wildcats finally got back on the board starting with a steal sophomore Haylie Arnerich, capped with a trey by Arnerich on the same possession.
But Newman kept adding on, drawing fouls making 6 points off of free throws in the quarter. They also got a three ball from Julia Bertolero. With a little over a minute to go in the quarter they had a 22-7 lead.
In the final minute, the Wildcats chipped 4 points off that lead on two free throws by junior Julia Persky and a layup by sophomore Ellie Malicay.
Things went a little better for the Wildcats in the second quarter, as they finally got their offense going in the second portion of the quarter. However they weren't able to gain any ground. They managed to put up 18 points, but Newman nearly matched its first quarter production with 19 points.
The Cardinals actually expanded their lead to 20 three minutes into the quarter, leading 30-13 with 4:47 to play in the half.
At that point the Wildcats finally began to get untracked offensively. They would stay "untracked" well into the third quarter.
A Mee free throw was followed by an Arnerich steal, capped with a Milone putback. After a defensive stop, Milone was fouled on a drive, converting both free throws. After a traveling call, sophomore guard Cassidy Schutz converted a fast-break layup.
Newman's 6-2 freshman forward Hailey Vice-Neat momentarily interrupted the Wildcats run with a hook in the paint, plus a free throw on a foul on the play and Julia Bertolero got a layup on a fast break with two minutes to go.
But the Wildcats outgunned the Cardinals 9-6 in the rest of the quarter, with Schutz sandwiching two threes around one by Mee to make the half-time score 41-29.
Early-quarter issues continued for the Wildcats in the third quarter Newman outscoring the Wildcats 7-2 in the first two minutes of the quarter. But then the Wildcats got another run going.
It starting with Milone making a nice move in the paint for a layup. She added a free throw on another attempted layup on the next possession after a Newman turnover.
Junior forward Rylie Loflin made a steal. The Wildcats missed a shot on the ensuing possession but on the scramble for the rebound, the ball went out of bounds, possession to Ukiah.They cashed in the second opportunity when Mee connected on her third trey of the game.
On the Wildcats next possession, she scored on an uncontested layup of an inbound play.
Newman's 6-4 center Lauren Walker interrupted the run with a layup. But the Wildcats countered that with another Schutz three and then her fourth of trey of the game two possessions later to pull the Wildcats to within 5, the score now 50-45.
They had put together a solid 14-2 run to claw their way back in the game. But as the final 2 minutes of the third quarter played out, it appeared that they had spend a lot of energy making the comeback and were beginning to tire.
They missed a layup and then four free throws that could have brought them even closer. With a minute go they let Newman's Londyn Inskeep put back a missed shot. They fouled on a drive by Kiech with 6 seconds to go in the quarter, Kiech making both free throws to put Newman up 54-45 going the fourth quarter.
Although Ankia Brown connected on a long two to start the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 7, the Wildcats would score only two more points in the game, those coming on two free throws by Schutz. Newman added 14 more points in the quarter to win by the final score of 68-49.
Schutz was the top scorer for Ukiah with 18. Mee had 13. Milone had 9. Five other Wildcats totaled the other 9 points. Newman was led by Kiech with 21, included four threes. Bertolero had 11 points and Inskeep 10.
Ukiah Head Coach Dave Downey noted that with 2 minutes to go in the third quarter his team cut the Newman lead 50-45, but in the fourth quarter "We were like, okay, we're tired. But they (Newman), have to come to our place (January 28). The game was a lot closer than the final score. We gave them a run for their money. I think we scared them a little bit, sort of like, hey, you better play hard or you're not going to beat us. Now we've got Carrillo at home. We've got to think we can beat them and beat them."
Game times this afternoon and evening at 4:30 p.m. for the Freshman game, 6 p.m. for the JV game and 7:30 p.m. for the Varsity game.

Introduction to Information Management Policy
An information management policy is a set of rules for a certain type of important content. Policy enables administrators to control and evaluate who can access the information, how long to retain information, and how effectively people are complying with the policy itself. The most common creators and enforcers of policy are compliance officers, records managers, IT staff, and others with similar responsibilities.
With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can apply policies that enable you to manage your content according to your business processes. Office SharePoint Server 2007 contains several policy features you can customize for your needs, as well as an extensibility framework that enables you to create, customize, and deploy your own policies and policy features.
By using policies, you benefit in the following ways:
Administrators can set and manage "the rules" for a content type from a single location, including both client-side and server-side policy features.
Policies are tightly coupled to the content, both within Office SharePoint Server 2007 and in downloaded Microsoft Office system content. Administrators can be confident that policies applied to content are always being enforced, wherever the content goes within their company.
Policies require little involvement from end users, as corporate policies are automatically and transparently followed.
In Office SharePoint Server 2007, each policy is a collection of instruction sets for one or more policy features. Each policy feature provides a specific kind of content management functionality. You can assign a policy to either a content type or a list.
For more information about content types, see Content Types in the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SDK.
Policy Architecture
The following figure shows the conceptual relationships of the various policy elements.
Logically, each policy is a collection of instruction sets for one or more policy features. A policy feature is an assembly that provides some content management functionality to Office SharePoint Server 2007, and possibly to 2007 Microsoft Office system documents in client applications as well. For example, Expiration, Auditing, Document Labels, and Bar Codes are all policy features included in Office SharePoint Server 2007.
For more information about these policy features, see Policy Features Included in Office SharePoint Server 2007.
Each policy is represented by an XML document. For each policy feature that you want to include in a policy, you include an instruction set, called a policy item, in the policy. A policy item is an XML node within a policy that contains the settings for only one policy feature. These settings include information required for all policy items, such as the ID and name of the policy feature. It can also include a custom data element, which only the policy feature must be able to parse.
For each policy feature in a policy, there is only one policy item. You can include the same policy feature in multiple policies; in each policy, the feature would have a single associated policy item.
For more information about policy features, see Policy Feature Overview.
In addition, a policy feature can use one or more policy resources. A policy resource is an assembly that assists the policy feature by providing some functionality the feature needs. For example, the Bar Code policy feature uses a Bar Code Provider, which generates the bar codes, as a policy resource. Similarly, the Expiration policy feature employs an Expiration Formula Calculator as a policy resource to determine a document's actual expiration date. This policy feature also uses an Expiration Action policy resource to determine what action to take when an item reaches its expiration date.
Policy features can use multiple resources, but each policy resource can be used by only one policy feature.
For more information about policy resources, see Policy Resource Overview.
There is one policy collection per site collection; this collection can contain any number of policies. Each policy contains any number of policy items, and each item encapsulates settings information for—and points to—a single policy feature. Multiple policies can contain a policy item that points to the same policy feature. Each policy feature, in turn, can employ any number of policy resources to assist its operation. Each policy feature employs its own collection of policy resources; policy resources are not shared between policy features.
You can assign only one policy to a given content type or SharePoint list. However, that policy can contain any number of policy items.

Hatching Alpha Romeo's Giulietta in the UAE
Alfa Romeo could be deemed the mystery brand of motoring in the Middle East – a class-act for sure, but where are the cars on the region's roads? The Italian brand, a household name for yonks for slick designs and phenomenal motorsport success, fell into relative obscurity.
Fiat-Chrysler aims to correct that, big time. The objective is to put the passion back into Romeo. A serious shot over the bows of rivals in the UAE has just been fired with the introduction of the groovy Giulietta hatchback. It's classy in the way an Italian suit oozes style.
So if Juliet started asking, "wherefore art thou, Romeo?", the answer was, "Hatta, Jules babe, putting in some wicked quality time with your near-namesake Giulietta."
I'm probably on nodding terms with every rocky outcrop and mountain goat in the imposing near the border with Oman from testing autos there over the years, but the fact remains the area is one of the neatest places in the Middle East to put a car through its paces.
The current Giulietta – which your mates have probably either been in or seen in Europe – has all the solid fundamentals and neat design. Does the design set it apart from the crowd? Not really, it's more a case of the Italians doing it right and stylishly.
And after a while you're seduced by those curves. This is most welcome as so many American cars are big and dumb-looking while lots of Asian vehicles are perfectly competent, but as dull as the press conferences that launch them.
Alfa has been around a touch over 100 years so they know how to do style, quality and reliability.Take your first squiz at the Giulietta and it's essentially what you would expect from the Alfa Romeo stable. The Italian thoroughbreds don't make ugly horseless carriages and this car observes the tactile proprieties of tradition. The driving in the Hatta area of mixed conditions was pleasurable and lively.
Alfa's 'DNA' drive select system also does what the PR stuff on the floor says, instantly adding a small but telling edge to the driving experience with sharper throttle response, sportier gear selections and a tad more road feel through the steering wheel.
The Giulietta's suspension finds a corridor between comfy and sporty, which everyday divers want and need. It exhibits little body roll when finding its way into corners.
The cabin is neat and attractive. Not, however, edgy or 'wow'. There's nothing amiss with what's on offer but it could do with a dollop of the aforementioned. That said, the Giulietta feels solid and well built.
From our first drive the car offers pretty much everything you could want from a hatch, handling like a classic Alfa — agile and delivering power instantly.
The Giulietta is available in the Middle East with the 170hp 1.4 TB MultiAir engine. If you're going to stomp your foot like Elton John doing Crocodile Rock you'll reach a top speed of 218kph and scoot from 0 to100kph in just 7.7 seconds.
The transmission works in either all-automatic or sequential mode, as required by the driver who can manually manage the up and down position of the stick to which steering wheel shift paddles may be combined.
Preferred transmission technology here is the double-clutch gearbox. It has, as the name implies, two clutches operating the gears, meaning the transmission is constantly primed to shift and, therefore, does so more quickly. Alfa Romeo's twin clutch transmission, or TCT, was available in their Mito supermini for some time before being introduced in the flagship Giulietta.
On the road it's pretty handy, with the gearbox working well in tandem with Alfa Romeo's trademark DNA drive-mode system. Progress is untroubled with gear changes coming up smoothly and promptly in normal mode.
In dynamic mode, throttle response is sharper and the steering offers more feedback while the transmission contributes to the impressive extra pep by holding onto the revs longer in lower gears. In all-weather mode, designed to cope with slippery conditions, the TCT will pull away from standstill in second gear to maximise traction.
Space up front is good with plenty of seat adjustment to get comfortable but the roofline doesn't leave a lot of headroom in the back. Legroom is in short supply in the back too. Heather Mills would be half OK. Life in the back seat would be too cosy for many though and no use at all to Brad Pitt and Geena Davis.
The recline is good on the front seats but the twirly knob thing on the side of the seat is difficult to turn from inside the car. It's best to get out of the vehicle, move the seat forward so the item is exposed and you can get a good grip on it. Just the thing if there's a sandstorm.
Safety is well catered for with stability control, ABS brakes, hill-hold assist DST (which prompts the driver to make the correct manoeuvre in emergencies via a pulse sent to the steering wheel), pre-fill (that guarantees the maximum braking promptness in the case of danger), anti-whiplash system and all the usual airbags. The trunk has a width of 1023 mm between the wheels and a maximum capacity of 350 litres.
And the Giulietta absolutely nailed it in the Euro-NCAP crash tests, earning the top five-star rating with one of the best ever scores.
It's probably stretching it to suggest that Alfa Romeo has been put on the Viagra for the Middle East but the Giulietta shows the brand has been reanimated, if such a word exists.
When you're talking affordable exotica, few can trump Alfa so thankfully when it comes to forking out cash the Giulietta is going to have the right sticker prices. Punters tend to have a definite – or close to it – idea of how much loot they're prepared to spend on an Alfa or any car, for that matter. The Giulietta argues its case well in dosh, design and deeds.

Fairouz to Perform Two Concerts in Paris
After a 14-year sabbatical the Lebanese renowned singer Fairouz will head in the middle of next month to Paris to perform two concerts at Sal Playbel in the French capital on June 27 and 28, according to the London based Arabic daily al Sharq al Awsat.
In preparation for this occasion Fairouz lunched a rehearsal workshop along with her singing team and selected a variety program combining between the old and new.
This program will be different from the concert programs she has recently performed in Las Vegas, Switzerland, Dubai and even in Beitiddin in Lebanon. This is despite the fact that Beitiddin festival through which Fairuoz will appear before the Lebanese audience will be distinguished this summer with the presence of her son Ziad al Rahabani who will be mainly interested in the festival's program as far as the cadences distribution and playing are concerned.
Fairouz will return to Paris after 14 years of absence since she last sang at a palace in Paris. She will arrive in the French capital on June 23 along with her coral synchronously with the arrival of Maestro Karen who used to lead her troupe. Also Armenian musicians from Fullharmony Troupe will arrive in Paris too -- Albawaba.com

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is WonTon! I am a 5-6 year old male brown and black tabby. I was found by a volunteer on a street in South West Philadelphia eating garbage out of a gutter. I was so very thin, filthy and covered in fleas. My rescuer scooped me up and took me home and said that the first thing I needed was a bath! Once I was nice and clean and treated for fleas, I was given really good cat food until my tummy was nice and full! I am a very friendly and quiet guy who would love nothing more than to curl up on your lap or next to you in bed. I am a nurturer by nature and am currently "mothering" a litter of foster kittens, cleaning and snuggling with them. I did have surgery to repair a dislocated hip in January of 2012 but have completely recovered and am doing great. I am good with other cats, unknown with dogs, and would do well with older children ages 7 and up (just because of my hip surgery.) Because I am so laid back, my rescuer feels that I may do ok with a cat friendly dog. I love to give kisses and hugs and will reach up to hold onto your hand while I take a treat right from your fingers. If you would like to adopt me, please fill out an adoption application for me or if you have any questions at all about me, please don't hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com!
Won Ton, a Horsham American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Horsham, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in Horsham.

Three Strikes and You're...Given a Fourth Strike
The Players Association Responds
On Monday, MLBPA Executive Director Don Fehr publicly responded to Commissioner Selig's call for a more stringent testing and discipline regime to combat the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) in Major League Baseball. The compromise suggested by Fehr, and the earlier proposal for a stricter program by the Commissioner, still disagree on crucial points.
The Commissioner's proposal was made in a publicly-released April 25th letter to Don Fehr. In that letter Selig suggested five substantive changes to the current Joint Drug Agreement (hereafter called the Agreement for brevity's sake), agreed to in January of 2005.
Fehr wrote an initial response to Selig's proposal on May 1st (in which he suggested that no changes were necessary as the current policy was "working well"). A substantive counter-proposal didn't arrive until this week. The letter comes at the end of months of negotiation between the two sides, and contained the following substantive points:
As New York Times columinst Murray Chass pointed out in a recent article, the stalled negotiations between the two sides creates an interesting game of chicken, as a stalemate could spur Congress to move forward with federal legislation requiring more stringent penalties for PED abuse. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Congressman Tom Davis (R-VA), and Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) have proposed a mandatory testing regime for all American professional sports in the Clean Sports Act of 2005 (text here, summary here). The Clean Sports Act would require the adoption of the list of prohibited PEDs included in the Olympic Anti-Doping Code (which includes amphetamines, illegal hormones, and blood and gene doping, in addition to steroids and their precurors), as well as minimum two-year penalties for a first offense and a lifetime ban for the second.
It is unclear how negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA to amend the current aggreement will proceed. Details still need to be hammered out on the four major points that the two sides seem to have settled in principle, and much disagreement remains on the controversial schedule of penalties.

Discussion in 'Android Themes' started by paulmz, Nov 3, 2010.
Those are very creative! Very nice job.
BabyBlueJeff did his Android7 layout with a Domo theme (http://androidforums.com/android-themes/199936-android-phone-7-theme-8.html#post1946851). I was inspired to make a quick clock skin that would go with the theme.

After making several detailed toggle skins, I thought I would just make something that is extremely easy to see.
No mistaking what the toggle is or if it's on or off with this one:

This is just a really simple, small, glowing toggle skin:

I meant to do this one at the same time as the Wood Carved skin:

These carved ones even look good with the "Hide Background" option selected:

Well, I decided that the carved skins needed a matching weather skin. This was originally the FlatBlack weather skin by Simen Opsah (http://twitter.com/simenopsah).

Very nice Paul! Thanks!
I liked the look of the "Stone Carved" with a transparent background, so I decided to make a sans serif one with a softer deboss and matching weather. The weather icons are based on the FlatBlack weather skin by Simen Opsah (http://twitter.com/simenopsah).
Why hide your wallpaper? Have a perfectly visible clock that is transparent enough to see the background:

Recently I have been noticing a popular battery widget people have been using called Gauge Battery Widget. This hit me with an idea to do a matching toggle skin.

I revised the Debossed Home skin with a beefier font that matches the standard Android font.
This still goes with the Debossed weather skin.

Hi there, not sure if this is the right place to post this: I have just installed bw and when I download and apply any skin, nothing happens. I'm still stuck with the old skins. I'm using a HTC hero, any ideas? Thanks in advance.
The only thing that I can think of is to make sure tha you're hitting the second "Save and Apply" button before exiting the app.
Other than that, I haven't had that problem before.
This is awesome...its what I'm using now.
Is there any possibility of getting some debossed dock icons or could you sure how to make them possibly. I doubt I could handle it but I would love matching dock icons with this skin.
This shouldn't be a problem. If you have icons (preferably black) that you are using now, send me a Dropbox link or something.
If you don't have icons, let me know which ones you're looking for and I'll try to track them down. This will take me a while, though.
Anyway, just an FYI, dock icons are about half the size of the weather icons, so I'm not sure how they will look with the debossed effect. I guess we'll find out!
It's late... going to bed. I will follow up on this with you tomorrow.
Here's a few that I found (minus the reflections) that might work.
They appear to be similar.
https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/black icons#/Public/black icons:::
I really appreciate the help...I'll surely donate to the cause.
The link doesn't work. Dropbox says the folder is empty.
I'll start looking for icons. If the ones you found have reflections on them, they won't work.
This skin is by FAR my favourite. For the most part my wallpapers are of a solid nature. Popular ones such as the Wood, Brushed Metal, and my current Brown leather one. It looks sick with the carved stone clock on it. However, I can't seem to get the carved stone weather skin as part of the "Home Widget" that i'm currently using.
When i go to BW>Home Settings-scroll down to "skins">Clock Skins; the "Stone_Carved" skin is available. However, when i do the same thing but got to "Weather Skins", Stone Carved is not available in the "Download Skins" link.
Is there something i'm doing wrong?
The weather skin version is called "Flat Carved". I just checked and it's definitely still available for download through the app.
This and the "Debossed" skins that I made certainly are popular. I'm glad that you like them!
Excellent idea for a thread, paulmz, I'm adding this to the Themes sticky in the Android Themes forum.
I just wish other people would post the skins they make as well. Maybe now that it's stickied more people will contribute.
Thanks. I checked again and it was there. I was looking in the "home settings" download list rather than the "weather" list. lol
Just downloaded the BW yesterday, so i'm still new to getting around.
Pls. help, where can I find that weatherskin?
Um, which one? This thread has several show. Please hit the "Quote" button for the one that you are looking and reply that way.
The Debossed version or Mono Dark
I don't know what you mean by "Mono Dark", but the "Debossed" weather skin is available via download through the Beautiful Widgets app.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Hunter Pence's piercing blue eyes grow even wider when he hears the word playoffs.
Reaching the postseason is no longer a dream for Pence. It's an expectation.
When the Philadelphia Phillies acquired the two-time All-Star right fielder from Houston last July, Pence jumped from one of the worst teams in the majors to one of the best. He got his first taste of pennant fever, and wants more.
"Words can't describe how amazing it was," Pence said. "Losing in the first round was pretty painful, but it was one of the greatest experiences of my life."
Despite a franchise-record and major league-leading 102 wins, the Phillies lost in five games to eventual World Series champion St. Louis in the NL division series. It was a bitter disappointment for fans and everyone in the organization.
Winning five straight division titles and the 2008 World Series raised expectations to enormous levels in Philadelphia. Now, anything less than another championship isn't considered a success.
For some, that's pressure. For Pence, it's an adrenaline rush.
"It's very exciting," he said. "It's a great time to be a part of this organization. It's great from the top down. The fans are incredible and in this clubhouse, the expectations are to win a World Series. You couldn't ask for more."
Pence was considered the missing piece the Phillies needed on offense last year. The team couldn't find a viable replacement for Jayson Werth, so general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. made another major trade with the Astros to get Pence.
Pence hit .324 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs in 54 games for Philadelphia. He finished the season at .314 with 22 homers and a career-best 97 RBIs. Late in the season, Pence replaced Chase Utley as the No. 3 batter, a spot usually reserved for the best all-around hitter in the lineup. With slugger Ryan Howard out indefinitely, Pence may have to bat cleanup to start the season.
"I'm pretty comfortable anywhere," he said. "They ask me what the difference is and I can't explain a difference. When you get up to bat, you look at the situation. The difference is what the pitcher is throwing and who's on base. They have to throw the ball over the plate and you have to hit and find a way to get the job done and help your team win.
"Ultimately, when you take the field, no matter where you are hitting, you have to go up there, have a professional at-bat and try to help your team win."
Pence has never hit more than 25 homers in a season, a feat he accomplished three straight years for Houston. He won't change his approach to try to fill Howard's big shoes.
"That's incredibly difficult," Pence said. "He's definitely a game-changer and you want to have him back as soon as possible. But until that happens, we just have to go out there with what we have and play to win. But it will be a big lift when we do get him back."
Pence epitomizes the baseball term: gamer. He's hard-nosed, goes all-out and genuinely has fun on the field. Even in spring training, he wants to play. While other veterans prefer to sit out long bus rides to play meaningless games, Pence goes everywhere. He leads the team in at-bats this spring with 57.
"It's a tremendous joy to play every day," he said. "I love the game of baseball. I truly enjoy the competition, the obstacles. I love to hit. I want to go out there and hit all day. I want to win. That's the Phillies' mentality."
Pence has a unique way of doing things, and he looks awkward because he has a gangly frame. He has long arms, long legs and looks odd running. He wears a batting glove only on his left hand, a sleeve on his left elbow, blister protector on his left hand and pulls his socks high. His swing is more of a hack than a smooth, fluid stroke. And, he takes mighty cuts even in batting practice.
Naturally, scouts doubted him.
"They would look at me and say, 'How do you evaluate this?'" Pence joked. "It worked good for me because they didn't think I would hit at the next level. My personality, it fuels me. If you tell me I can't do something, I want to prove you wrong."
Pence has made skeptics believe in him since his rookie season with the Astros in 2007 when he hit .322 with 17 homers and 69 RBIs in 108 games. Pence has a .292 career average with 114 homers and 412 RBIs in five seasons.
Upon arriving in baseball-crazed Philadelphia, Pence became an instant fan favorite. Fans gave him a standing ovation the first time he jogged out to right field, and he often acknowledges them with a wave.
"I appreciate it," he said. "They really made it easy on me, made it a lot of fun. I just want to go out there every day and earn everything. I play the game to win today and give it everything I got."

Ten people in Lincoln and Omaha have been indicted on drug and ammunition charges that allegedly involved numerous Exotica stores, U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced Friday.
Five of them were arrested Friday.
They are all named in a three-count indictment stemming from a synthetic drug and drug paraphernalia conspiracy operated through numerous Exotica stores in Lincoln and Omaha as well as Council Bluffs and South Sioux City, Iowa, Gilg said.
Ways is also charged with being a previously convicted felon in possession of ammunition.
Synthetic ecstasy, synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia were seized or purchased during the course of the investigation.
In addition, 800 rounds of ammunition and more than $1 million were seized from Exotica locations and bank accounts, as well as some of the homes of the defendants, Gilg said.
If convicted, the 10 will face a maximum penalty upon conviction of 33 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines.
The initial appearances for the five individuals is set at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 28 before U.S. Magistrate Judge F. A. Gossett, III.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Omaha Police Department, Lincoln Police Department and Nebraska State Patrol.
Gilg said an indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime, but a defendant is presumed innocent of the charges.

Perpetuating the Power of Pentecost

And so it was, 1980 years ago, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, "they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:1-4 Acts 2:1-4 1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat on each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
American King James Version×).
Thus, Christ's promise ten days earlier that they would "receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you" was delivered in a miraculous display of power that defied human nature and transcends even the capability of modern communication technology (Acts 1:8 Acts 1:8But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
American King James Version×). Transformed cowards proclaimed the message of God with such power that it was understood in multiple languages simultaneously.
Peter preached. God empowered. People listened and heard. God granted repentance and instilled conviction. It was the first New Testament Pentecost and the Church was born amidst an astonishing display of God's powerful presence and divine capacity to engage and change the hearts of the men and women he chooses to call. The 120 had gathered in one accord. Before days end three thousand converted souls joined their ranks.
Pentecost 31 AD is an event without precedence and without equal in the history of Church growth and development. It transpired because of God's powerful spirit presence and engagement—human foibles notwithstanding.
However, just because the results of Pentecost 31 AD is as of yet unequaled, does not mean that its essential power cannot or should not be perpetuated. Which begs a question to all those that have received His Holy Spirit: Are you and I perpetuating the power of Pentecost or are we overtly or unwittingly impeding it?
Stated another way: Are you and I allowing God's Spirit to empower our lives, or are we denying It, its power to work?
It is a powerful question that should evoke passionate consideration, because the Holy Spirit is the only tangible permanent Agent of change and change we must if we are to achieve our God ordained destiny.
The Day of Pentecost, again is upon us. Are you and I together in "one accord?" Are you and I prepared to perpetuate its power, or is our heart inclined to impede it? Whatever the case it is within our capacity to choose—today.
Shall we allow the Scriptures to show us how? The second chapter of Acts tells the story. The day of Pentecost had fully come and the Spirit of God had arrived with a miraculous display of power. Things were happening. Then in chapter two in verse 14 Peter takes the lead:
"But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, 'Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and heed my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day'"
Peter's performance is an astonishing turn of events. Peter the turncoat who only 53 days before had denied His Lord and Master raises his voice to challenge the same crowd that put his Master death—and he would tell them so:
"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death" (Acts 2:22 Acts 2:22You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the middle of you, as you yourselves also know:
American King James Version×).
Here we have demonstrated for us with all the passion, emotion, and suspense of real life drama one essential component required to perpetuate the power of Pentecost.
If we are to perpetuate the power of Pentecost then the ministry of Jesus Christ must, like Peter, under the inspiration of the Spirit preach with passion the undiluted truths of God with relevance that will engage, convict and move their audience to action.
And the truth is always relevant if we don't dilute it. Had Peter diluted his message into palatable politically correct sound bytes his audience might have missed his message and not felt the need to say "Men and brethren what shall we do?"
Preaching with passion relevant truth became the hallmark of the apostolic ministry and the Church grew like wildfire throughout the known world. It is a legacy with which the apostles endowed the next generation. We often quote in connection with God's Holy Spirit, Paul's personal letter to the evangelist Timothy:
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2. Timothy 1:6-7)
Powerful words. Great description of the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. In this second letter to Timothy the apostle Paul challenges him in the introduction of the letter to stir up–to perpetuate the power of the Holy Spirit.
We often quote this, but the thing we may miss is that in the rest of the letter Paul goes on to say how to stir it up. Paul admonishes Timothy to "hold fast to sound words", "to study to show himself approved", and to "flee youthful lusts" all of which are critical but he does not loose this opportunity to charge him to preach with passion:
"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (2. Timothy 4:2-4).
Preaching with passion was still the method of choice and Paul handed the mantel to Timothy.
We go back to Peter's sermon. His concluding challenge is no less relevant and no less true:
"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36 Acts 2:36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
American King James Version×)
Ouch! Similar words got Stephen stoned, but Peter's audience chose the right course of action: They repented with zeal.
"Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37 Acts 2:37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do?
American King James Version×).
Then Peter responded with instruction and the road to action that he knew all too well: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38 Acts 2:38Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
American King James Version×).
Therein we find the critical components: If we are to perpetuate the power of Pentecost it requires two essential components: Preaching with passion and repentance with zeal. It as a challenging and sometimes messy process that requires God's Spirit to work but the result is unprecedented growth as the New Testament Pentecost amply demonstrates.
Perhaps the words of President Theodore Roosevelt in his speech delivered in Paris on April 23, 1910 will help us get the picture:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
May we all rise to the challenge on the coming Day of Pentecost: Let's get into the arena; Let us preach with passion—this is both a challenge to those that preach and a request for permission to those that hear—and repent with zeal and so we will never be numbered among those poor and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat.
Pentecost is coming. Let's perpetuate its power!
