LeBron James changed his jersey number, won an NBA championship and still gets inevitably compared to Michael Jordan at nearly every opportunity.
With James producing at a record-setting clip that no one had ever reached, just as Jordan's 50th birthday approaches this weekend, classifying James' place in league history couldn't be a hotter topic.
James wants no part of it, posting on Twitter that he's "not MJ." And his peers say it's time to back off all the comparisons.
"It's simple. There will never be another Michael Jordan," said Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade, who grew up in Chicago watching Jordan's games on WGN. "He was the first to do a lot of things. Whenever you're the first, there can never be another.
"But you know what? That guy down there (James), he's in the beginning of starting his own path. There will be someone who will be compared to the next LeBron James, but there will never be another one of him. Certain guys are that special and that unique."
James entered Thursday night's showcase game at Oklahoma City on an NBA record six-game streak with at least 30 points while shooting 60 percent or better. Then he scored 39 points and shot 58 percent in the Heat's 110-100 win.
Doing something that even Jordan never did on his way to six NBA titles made James the buzz of the league heading into All-Star weekend, which also happens to be when Jordan hits the big 5-0. But it wasn't the most important thing to him.
"It didn't bother me during the game or not, if I was shooting 60 percent or not," James said. "I just go out and play my game, and that was the result of it. It didn't bother me and it didn't matter if I got it tonight or not. ... To win is what it's all about."
And just because LeBron is adding to his own lore doesn't mean that it has to come at the expense of Jordan's greatness.
"I think those two guys are different," three-time scoring champion Kevin Durant said. "LeBron's a once-in-a-lifetime type of player. I think people really were waiting for him to win the championship to compare, just like any other great player. ... It's not a knock on LeBron or taking anything from him, because the stuff he's done is unreal as well, but it's kind of hard to compare anybody to Michael Jordan."
At the Heat's shootaround, James was asked to reflect on the first time he met Jordan. It happened during James' sophomore year of high school, when he visited a spot where Jordan worked out in the offseason in Chicago.
He can't remember anything Jordan said to him - or if the two spoke - but he recalled watching Jordan's every move during what he called a chance to meet a "hero."
James started his NBA career wearing Jordan's No. 23, but switched to 6 later and suggested that no one in the league should wear 23 again out of tribute to MJ. The plan never stuck.
And while establishing his own identity, James still finds himself dodging Jordan's impressive shadow.
"I always say you can't compare guys until both guys are finished playing," Durant said. "You'll see when Kobe Bryant's done playing how you can compare him to Michael, Magic Johnson and LeBron, stuff like that. But while they're playing, I don't think you can really compare them."
This stretch of proficiency is just another phase in James' ascent. Where he'll end up, whether he'll ever approach all those titles James, Wade and Chris Bosh predicted upon their creation in Miami, is still to be determined.
"Every year, he's come back a better player for 10 years now. That's remarkable in itself. Not a lot of guys can say that. I'm not so sure he's at his peak, which is frightening," said Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks, a Jordan contemporary. "He's one of the best players in the game's history, not just the current generation of players, of all the players.
"What he is able to do at the level that he does it on both ends of the floor, you usually don't see. You don't see it often."
Wade said he believes James' transformation to an even better version of the NBA's top player started last season after a difficult transition from beloved star in Cleveland to the league's most-hated man in Miami.
"Once last year came and he was able to bring his family down to Miami and really get comfortable in the surroundings, the new environment, he started getting back to being the LeBron James that we all became accustomed to," Wade said.
"It's not saying the year before that he wasn't special. Any time he puts on the jersey and he steps on the court, he's a special player, but now he's just even more confident. He's at that age, at 28 years old, where everything just comes together."
Remember that Jordan, although he hadn't been in the league as long after playing college ball at North Carolina, was 28 when he won his first championship in 1991. Wade would caution that this is only the start of James' very own, unique story.
"MJ's legacy at 50 years old is still going strong," Wade said, "and LeBron James' legacy will be the same."

Suns throttle Clippers
Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Phoenix Suns continued to impress Monday with a 107-88 throttling of the Clippers in Los Angeles.
Goran Dragic provided 26 points, eight assists and five steals while Gerald Green made five of the Suns' 12 3-pointers en route to a 21-point effort.
Phoenix had five players score in double figures -- with P.J. Tucker and Channing Frye each donating 12 -- and essentially led wire-to-wire in its 10th win in its last 12 games.
Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford scored 15 points apiece and Chris Paul had 11 with seven assists, but the triumvirate combined to shoot 14-of-42 (33.3 percent) from the floor in the setback.
"They were so much tougher than us," Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said. "They played their game and we didn't play ours. They were a lot tougher and we had no fight back tonight."
The Clippers sported a proud 13-2 home record coming in and had not trailed by more than 14 points at any juncture in Staples Center.
On Monday, the Suns led by 21 at halftime.
Dragic started the game with a dunk off a turnover as Phoenix scored the first nine points and held a 30-24 lead heading into the second quarter.
"Our job was to come out strong and force them to play our rhythm," Dragic said.
Green scored 14 points in the second, including nine during a half-ending 16-4 flurry that pushed Phoenix's advantage to 61-40.
The Clippers connected on just 30.4 percent from the field over the first two quarters, and while they shot slightly better in the third, the Suns still controlled play and extended their lead to as many as 29.
Both teams emptied their benches in the fourth quarter with the outcome no longer in doubt.
Game Notes
The Suns won 10 games in December for the first time since the 2007-08 season ... The Clippers have dropped three of four overall ... Los Angeles' DeAndre Jordan pulled down a game-high 19 rebounds ... The Clippers shot 36.5 percent from the field ... Markieff Morris rounded out Phoenix's leading scorers with 11 points to go with 12 rebounds.

The BBA's Public Service blog, Beyond the Billable is your one stop shop for everything Public Service at the BBA. Check it out here.
All lawyers will have clients who are or are perceived to be LGBTQ. To fulfill your professional and ethical obligation to be a zealous advocate, particularly when you represent LGBTQ children and adolescents, it is essential that you educate yourself about the unique stressors and risk factors of this largely hidden population, and how they might affect your client's experience in court.
But first, let's cover some basic vocabulary so we understand each other:
For more explanation, see The Genderbread Person.
Why You Need to Know if Your Client is LGBTQ
At a minimum, under Massachusetts's ethical rules, an attorney shall not "engage in conduct manifesting bias or prejudice based on . . . sex . . . or sexual orientation against a party, witness, counsel, or other person." Mass. R. Prof. C. 3.4, 426 Mass. 1308 (1998). Bias and prejudice are harmful. But ignorance can be just as harmful.
If a youth's LGBTQ status is a significant factor in their case (e.g., if it relates to why they are court-involved or which parent should get custody), failure to have this issue on your radar screen means your representation may fall short of your ethical obligation to provide competent representation, including inquiry into and analysis of the factual and legal elements of the matter. Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.1 (comment 5). Even if the relevance of your clients' LGBTQ status is not immediately apparent, various statistics indicate that their actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender expression can affect their experience in the judicial system.
LGBTQ Status Makes a Difference
Here are just some of the statistics:
So, the risk is significant that the LGBTQ status of a young client may be a substantial, relevant factor in your representation – and one that you cannot ignore.
How to be a Zealous Advocate for an LGBTQ Youth
There are, of course, several key steps a lawyer can take to represent LGBTQ youth more effectively.
Most significantly, you need to develop basic cultural competence about LGBTQ youth. Unlike other demographic characteristics such as race or age, LGBTQ status may not be readily recognizable. You need to set the stage for a client to feel that it is safe to tell you that he or she is LGBTQ. You also need to be prepared to deduce for yourself if these issues are at play by considering the question as you review the facts and circumstances of the case. On the other hand, forcing the issue could damage your attorney-client relationship and it may not be necessary for effective representation as long as you are aware of the issue. If, for example, your client is an effeminate boy, you do not need to know if he is gay, bisexual, or transgender to get a safety plan in place at school. You should go a step further though and determine if the school climate is LGBTQ positive or not. If it is not, you are more likely to need to monitor compliance and enforce the safety plan. If you cannot identify any LGBTQ clients on your roster, chances are you are missing what is in plain sight and you should re-evaluate.
Here are some additional things you, as a lawyer, can do:
Here are some things to avoid:
Beyond the Basics
Beyond basic cultural competence, there are still other ways better to represent an LGBTQ youth client:
Be open to whether LGBTQ issues are at play. In every matter, you should be mindful whether the problems that have caused your client to need services are related to the client's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status. For example, if your client is skipping school, consider the possibility that he or she is being bullied because he or she is or is perceived to be LGBTQ even if he or she does not immediately tell you that. You may need to do some sleuthing here. Review school discipline reports and comments made about your client on Facebook and other social media for anti-LGBTQ statements, including about failure to conform to sex stereotypes. Also subtly ask family and friends why they believe your client is skipping school. And, being mindful of stereotypes, consider your client's appearance and manner to assess whether others might perceive your client to be LGBTQ. This could require you to confront discrimination and institutional bias where it arises.
Help educate family members. You may face a situation where parents are at odds with their child because their child is LGBTQ, or parents who are at odds with each other because one is supportive of the youth and the other is not. In some cases, you can begin to educate the non-supportive parent. Resources such as the Family Acceptance Project offer research-based information to help parents evolve in their acceptance of their child. It also addresses religious questions, as do movies such as "For The Bible Tells Me So." In other cases, you may have to help the young person advocate for a supportive placement using research to show the harm of an unsupportive placement. Every case is different and needs individual consideration.
Use evidence-based interests, not presumptions. All of us are familiar with the legal standard that decisions are to be made in the "best interests of the child." However, best-interest lawyering should actually be evidence-based and not based on presumptions or prejudice. As an attorney, you have some latitude to present your own beliefs as to what is in the best interest of your client. Those notions, however, should be evidence-based citing statistics and social science research. Lawyering based on personal belief systems may violate your duty not to engage in conduct that manifests bias or prejudice.
Confront your own discomfort. You might think a young client is "flamboyant" and would "get along" better if only he or she would just tone it down. At the same time, the client likely feels he or she is simply being himself or herself. Clients get to make choices as long as they are educated about them, even if you are uncomfortable with the choice. Care & Protection of Georgette, 439 Mass. 28, 36-39 (2003).
Maintain client confidences. Your client is the gatekeeper of information about his or her sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and HIV status. As an attorney, you are obligated to keep client confidences. Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.6, 426 Mass. 1322 (1998). The urgency is particularly great because family rejection can be devastating for an LGBTQ youth.
Know how to find LGBTQ resources. It is important to have a referral list of LGBTQ-friendly providers of services for the youth client. If you do not have one, you can develop such a list by calling GLAD's free information line: 800-455-GLAD (Mondays-Fridays, 1:30-4:30 p.m.) for help.
If you take these basic steps, you can make the world of difference to young LGBTQ clients and even serve as a role model to your colleagues.
Vickie L. Henry is a Senior Staff Attorney at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD). She is leading GLAD's Youth Initiative, working to create a just, inclusive, and affirming environment for LGBTQ youth.

As artificial intelligence emerges from science fiction to everyday life, the power to shape and direct this world-changing technology remains within society's reach.
That overarching theme animated a crowd of more than 300 people at a Stanford event Thursday evening. The discussion was titled, "The Future of Artificial Intelligence: Emerging Topics and Societal Benefit."
The four-hour-long discussion featured 15 speakers from government and academia, and was one of many tech-orients events being held on the Stanford campus this week as part of a Global Entrepreneurship Summit, hosted by the United States government. The summit includes a scheduled Friday morning appearance by President Barack Obama.

Altman opened the event on a lofty note, citing the value that AI would have in his fields of medicine and biological discovery, then became playful in welcoming keynote government speaker Megan Smith, the United States Chief Technology Officer in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
"Is that not the coolest job title ever?" Altman quipped.
Smith touched on how government is using artificial intelligence, machine learning and similar techniques in tasks ranging from planning space missions to forecasting job growth.
But given the potential effects of these technologies on culture and the economy, she said government's larger challenge is to bring "humanity's greatest talent" to bear on the development and direction of AI by throwing open the discussion.
"How are we going to make sure we are bringing everyone into this conversation?" Smith asked, previewing an initiative that the White House is expected to formally announce Monday that will offer literally anyone a way to register an opinion or view on this emerging technology.
Li, who followed Smith to the podium, also hit on the theme that AI's direction would depend on who stands up to computer science. "Will AI become the force of destruction or the hope we have for tomorrow?" she asked rhetorically, saying the answer would depend in part on broadening gender diversity in computer science. "The future of AI is in the hands of those who make AI," she said.

Bryan's Bachelor Party
My best friend is getting married, and we're going to have a crazy-fun weekend in San Diego to celebrate! Naturally, as his best man, I want to be sure to commemorate the weekend with some awesome swag for everyone in attendance. As such, I'm looking for a fun, creative, exciting logo that I can put on T-Shirts, Temporary Tattoos, Golf Balls, and anything else I can think of.
This will be a small group -- only about 15-20 people -- who will be attending. However, I want to be sure that any design is "cool" enough that people will want to wear the t-shirts during the weekend and for years to come.
I don't have a specific design in mind, but I think it should include the words "Bryan's Bachelor Party" and "San Diego" and "2009" on it.
Please do NOT use images of strippers or other debauchery. I'd rather this be in the vein of "good, clean fun".
Bryan is a fun and enthusiastic guy, with a wide variety of interests. He's a musician, golfer, small airplane pilot, and lighting designer. I DON'T want specific images of those things, but I'm hoping to give you a sense of who he is.
I'm planning on creating T-shirts, temporary tattoos, and perhaps printing the logo on golf-balls, so the design needs to be technically possible in all those mediums.

Is this trip right for you?
This trip includes a full-day tour around the Medina of Fes on Day 4. You will be on your feet at least five to six hours, this is one of the highlights of Morocco and well worth any weariness at the end of the long day.
The weather in Morocco can be extreme. Summer temperatures can be uncomfortably hot, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the heat, so please consider carefully what time of year you travel. If you do travel in the warmer months, pack layers to cover you from the sun, bring the necessary sun protection and drink plenty of water.
In 2020, Ramadan will take place from 23 April to 22 May. Travelling in Morocco during this holy month can be a rewarding cultural experience. However, some regular services may not be available during the daytime, such as restaurants or coffee bars, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your local leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.
As Morocco has a tipping culture, travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services, so please be prepared. Your trip leader and the tipping section of our Essential Trip Information will help to provide you with some suggestions as to what amounts are appropriate.
Although you shouldn't expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, please be aware that you may be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods to you on regular occasions.

Fundraiser unveils newest addition to Stone Quarry Art Park on July 12
Cazenovia >> The Stone Quarry Art Park has a new sculpture.
Champagne House Perrier-Jouët, with famed contemporary artist Michael Kalish, created the piece as homage to their iconic Perrier-Jouët bottle. Kalish's sculpture "Belle Époque" is an interpretation of a garden and transcends the bottle's timeless design by French artist Émile Gallé.
The three-dimensional sculpture stands at 14-and-a-half feet and consists of two swooping anemone stems created out of stainless steel and bent aluminum tubing. The anemone flower petals are hand cut layers of aluminum threaded with gold metal piping from more than 100 Perrier-Jouët champagne cages, and the base is inlaid with hundreds of ground champagne corks. An intricate process of painting and baking the pieces in large ovens rendered the powder-coated pearl white surface durable and weather resistant.
Once installed, "Belle Époque" will join approximately 100 other sculptures on the Art Park's 104 acres. "We are overwhelmingly excited to celebrate the arrival of this beautiful and significant work," said Director Sarah Webster. "We are also extremely honored that Perrier-Jouët selected Stone Quarry Hill Art Park to be the permanent home for 'Belle Époque'."
Kalish is an internationally-acclaimed artist and sculptor with representation in galleries from Los Angeles to Stockholm, New York to Hong Kong. Kalish has been featured on television, as well as in The New York Times, People, Art in America and USA Today.
The Art Park will host a fundraiser for the unveiling of the sculpture on Friday, July 12 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $75 per person for members and $100 for non-members. Reservations can be made by sending in payment or calling the Art Park at (315)655-3196 by Wednesday, July 3.

Talk:Main Page/1/Top
| This talk page is for discussing the Main Page/1/Top article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
I thought I'd ask first, but then I thought, "it can always be easily reverted," so, whaddaya think? (about the spoiler warning, I mean) --GuildKnightTalk2me 18:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Never start a sentence with 'because' :). I partially agree with a blanket spoiler warning, however there are a number of problems. Does this mean that every page is free to contain as big a spoiler as it wants with no warning? If so, I will not read any of Grand Theft Wiki until I have completed GTA IV. We can't force people to make the choice between either reading massive spoilers or not reading the site at all.
- What would be more realistic is that all pages allow minor spoilers (eg the point of a mission) or things that everyone knows (eg CJ eventually returning to Los Santos). Those are things you either know (because you've played the game) or don't care about (because you haven't played the game). However bigger spoilers detailing big twists in the storyline (eg Big Smoke being bad) should probably still need a warning be protected with a spoiler tag. Spoilers for old games (say.. GTA VC and earlier) don't matter anymore.
- So especially with GTA IV we need most of the site to be accessible for people, but they need to know that there will be some spoilers on most pages, but the pages with big spoilers will be protected, and they read them at their own risk. What do you think? Gboyers (?) 20:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Your concerns are definitely valid; however, I feel that if we keep "bigger" spoilers on the mission pages, that should be sufficient. Any reader should be able to deduce that mission walkthroughs will contain spoilers. If we want to reference a plot twist, we can always link to the page that details the spoiler.
- I like the way you've worded it. We can just use the spoiler warning on non-mission pages, like Big Smoke (which, by the way, doesn't have a spoiler warning), and assume that everyone knows that mission walkthroughs will contain spoilers. --GuildKnightTalk2me 16:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Sunshine reduces BP and cuts risk of heart attack and stroke
Washington, Jan. 21 - A new study has revealed that exposing skin to sunlight may help to reduce blood pressure and thus cut the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Research carried out at the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh showed that sunlight alters levels of the small messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO) in the skin and blood, reducing blood pressure.
Martin Feelisch, Professor of Experimental Medicine and Integrative Biology at the University of Southampton, said: "NO along with its breakdown products, known to be abundant in skin, is involved in the regulation of blood pressure. When exposed to sunlight, small amounts of NO are transferred from the skin to the circulation, lowering blood vessel tone; as blood pressure drops, so does the risk of heart attack and stroke."
While limiting sunlight exposure is important to prevent skin cancer, the authors of the study, including Dr Richard Weller of the University of Edinburgh, suggested that minimising exposure may be disadvantageous by increasing the risk of prevalent conditions related to cardiovascular disease.
The results suggested that UVA exposure dilates blood vessels, significantly lowers blood pressure, and alters NO metabolite levels in the circulation, without changing vitamin D levels.
Further experiments indicated that pre-formed stores of NO in the upper skin layers are involved in mediating these effects.
The study was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. (ANI)

Earlier, more accurate river flow predictions possible
News Release
December 15, 2009
Peninsula College and Western Washington University students hike the Olympic Mountains to measure snowpack for the North Olympic Peninsula Solutions Network in January 2008. The network enters data from satellites, sensors, water gauges and snowpack sites into a new computer river model that quickly and more accurately monitors stream flow in the Dungeness River, near Sequim, Washington.

SEQUIM, Wash. —
In a pilot project that could help better manage the planet's strained natural resources, space-age technologies are helping a Washington state community monitor its water availability. NASA satellites and sensors are providing the information needed to make more accurate river flow predictions on a daily basis.
"World leaders are struggling to protect natural resources for future generations," said Jeff Ward, a senior research scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which is managed by Battelle. "These tools help us sustainably use natural resources while balancing environmental, cultural and economic concerns."
Ward manages a project on behalf of Battelle that is helping to better predict the flow of the Dungeness River, near Sequim, Wash., with data collected by NASA instruments. The project started by creating a new model that predicts river flows in the river's surrounding valley. It then expanded to help other communities in Kansas, Maine, Oregon and Washington state better manage their water and land resources with similar technologies.
The project — called the North Olympic Peninsula Solutions Network — is lead by the North Olympic Peninsula Resource Conservation & Development Council and supported by PNNL and others.
The project's results will be presented Dec. 16 at the 2009 fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
The project will help regional natural resource managers assess the abundance — or lack thereof — of the Dungeness River. The river model was developed to show how NASA technologies like satellites, sensors and computational models could be used to improve short-term stream flow predictions. The river model relies on snowpack and temperature data collected from satellites, as well as real-time snowpack and water data collected by various agencies.
The new Dungeness River model's calculations can tell what kind of flow to expect — from a trickle to a deluge — on a daily and monthly basis. Before, resource managers primarily relied on either water levels physically measured at gauges or historical data to predict total expected water volume over two to six months. Neither method provided flow predictions as frequently as the new model.
Having more precise river flow predictions is especially important along the Dungeness River, where the towering Olympic Mountains create a drying rain shadow effect and steep slopes prevent above-ground water reservoirs. Sequim receives just 15 inches of rain annually. Water is so treasured that the agricultural city is home to a 114-year-old festival that celebrates a historic irrigation system.
"Improving the accuracy of stream flow predictions is important to a diverse group of water users, including irrigation-dependent farmers, planners making urban growth decisions and those concerned about salmon survival or water quality," said Clea Rome, North Olympic Peninsula RC&D coordinator. "Stream flow prediction tools can help us avoid a crisis by alerting us before droughts are in full effect, giving us enough notice to adjust water use."
But the practical use of NASA technologies isn't limited just to Sequim or river water. The North Olympic Peninsula Solutions Network is helping four other resource, conservation and development councils tackle their unique problems.
Another resource — soil — has the Solomon Valley RC&D in north central Kansas concerned about agricultural tilling and erosion. Striking a balance between agriculture and forestry is critical for the Threshold to Maine RC&D in southwest Maine. The Wy'East RC&D is looking to better manage water supply and demand in north central Oregon. And in Okanogan, Wash., the possibility of water shortages worries the North Central Washington RC&D.
"Space technologies can help us get the best science to the ground, to the decision makers here in the Okanogan Basin," said Samantha Bartling, North Central Washington RC&D coordinator. "We expect it'll help us more precisely predict water availability for a long time to come."
The four councils are working with North Olympic Peninsula Solutions Network leaders to determine how NASA technologies can best address their different challenges.
The project is funded by a $1.6 million grant from NASA. More information can be found at the North Olympic Peninsula Solutions Network website, http://pcnasa.ctc.edu/.
Other project partners include: the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Services; NRCS National Water and Climate Center; National Association of RC&D Councils; Idaho National Laboratory; Olympic National Park; Clallam County; The Dungeness River Management Team; The Elwha-Morse Management Team; Peninsula College and Pacific Northwest Regional Collaboratory.

Frazier goes deep twice, but Reds edged by Cards
Lengthy rain delay holds up first pitch as Cincinnati drops rubber match
CINCINNATI -- The length of the Reds series' finale with the Cardinals was nearly four hours, and fell only a minute shy of the rain delay that preceded it. It made it all the more difficult to come away empty.
There would be no game win, and no series win as the Reds came away all wet with a 7-6 loss to St. Louis at Great American Ball Park.
"This whole series has been kind of weird with the rain," said Reds third baseman Todd Frazier, who hit two homers in the loss. "It kind of puts a damper on it before the game. You're ready to play at a certain time and what are you going to do? You try to take a nap or play cards, I don't know, but [unless] somebody figures out how to give you energy right before the game, you just can't do it."
There was little offense following Wednesday's delay of two hours and 40 minutes. But following Thursday's three hours and 42 minutes of wait time, the Reds' bats emerged perky in the bottom of the first inning once the skies cleared. During a two-out rally against Cardinals starter Lance Lynn, Joey Votto hit an opposite-field double to the left-field corner. Next was Jay Bruce, who hit a 1-2 pitch for a two-run homer deep into the sun deck seats in right field.
Frazier made it back-to-back homers and a 3-0 game with his shot to left field that traveled an estimated 474 feet. With those two swings, the Reds tripled their run production of the first two games. They started out scoreless in their first 17 innings and had one run over their first 18.
Lacking his best stuff, Reds starter Homer Bailey could not hold the lead. A two-out single by Matt Adams in the top of the second was followed by Jhonny Peralta's two-run homer to left field. Bailey escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third, but ballooned to 63 pitches. In the fourth inning, Jon Jay ripped a one-out RBI double to left-center field to make it a 3-3 game.
Bailey gave up two walks in a fifth inning that included Holliday's one-out RBI double to left field that scored Kolten Wong from first base. He was finished after 4 1/3 innings and allowed four earned runs and seven hits with three walks and three strikeouts.
"For me, missing those 2 1/2 weeks without mound time [because of a right groin strain] in Spring Training kind of came back and bit me today," Bailey said. "You could definitely tell I wasn't sharp. Lots of walks, just a lot of pitches that missed by an inch or two."
Bailey admitted the long wait during the delay to pitch probably affected him but did not let that be a crutch.
"It's not like I can use that as an excuse or make any excuses, period," Bailey said. "It's a good hitting team over there and they came out ready to play."
Bailey's inability to get deeper into the game exposed a weakness created in Spring Training from numerous injuries to the bullpen. With Alfredo Simon temporarily in the rotation, there was no experienced long reliever available to manager Bryan Price to soak up some innings and hold the game close.
"For me, I'd rather keep a long guy in the game and let him hit rather than burn through two or three other relief pitchers every time the pitcher's spot came up," Price said.
After he earned a bullpen spot at the end of camp as a non-roster player, Trevor Bell struggled in his debut for the Reds in the seventh and faced three batters without notching an out. Bell issued two walks before Matt Holliday skied a drive to the right-center-field wall.
Billy Hamilton just missed a catch as Holliday's ball hit the top of the wall and landed in the glove of Bruce backing up from right field. An umpire review of the video confirmed that Holliday hit a single. Had the ball been caught, Cincinnati might have had a spectacular triple play, while the ball was inches away from a three-run homer for Holliday.
"It would have been nice for it to get a couple inches higher there," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "That could have been a very crazy play, but that would have been a nice one to have."
There was never any request for a replay from Price and the Reds after initial confusion on the call that stopped the runners.
"What ended up happening is one umpire ruled out and the other one ruled safe," Price said. "There was a little bit of discrepancy there. Gary Cederstrom, the crew chief, decided to review the play without my request because they wanted to get the call right. What we found was the ball got over Billy's glove, hit the top of the wall and came back in play, and they got the right call."
Logan Ondrusek replaced Bell with the bases loaded and with the infield in, Allen Craig scored a single off of Votto's glove near first base. Yadier Molina added an RBI single before Holliday scored on a wild pitch to Jay for a 7-3 lead.
The Reds answered with three runs in the bottom half. Against lefty Kevin Siegrist, Votto walked and Bruce singled up the middle. Righty Pat Neshek took over and his 3-2 pitch was lifted the other way by Frazier for a three-run homer to right field.
"That's what we need to keep doing," Frazier said. "It shows signs that we've got a team that can hit. We've got a team that can put runs up. And we've got a team that pitching has always been there. We just have to finish."

"controlling shot"
Posted by Valeriy on October 26, 2006
In Reply to: "Controlling shot" posted by Victoria S Dennis on October 26, 2006
: : : : : English equivalent to "controlling shot".
: : : : : Russian hired killers nowadays practice a last shot to the apparently dead victim's head at a close distance to make sure there is no escape. They call it "control shot" or "controlling shot" and these terms have already been accepted by English-speaking meadia. Is there an English original equivalent to this expression?
: : : : : Thank you.
: : : : It resembles the "coup de grâce" in that it is a final shot designed to make sure the subject is dead. However, the purpose of the "coup de grâce" is to end the victim's suffering, that of the "controlling shot" just to make sure he's dead. On television they describe it mostly in longhand, saying things like "just to make sure." On the other hand, someone with gangster connections may come along and give us the right technical term.
: : : While we wait for a helpful gangster to come along, I'll just say that we often hear this type of shooting described on the news as "execution style".
: : : I wonder if a helpful hunter or James Bond afficionado might also be able to shed some light on the subject.
: : Thank you. I know the meaning of "coup de grace" which in my opinion is more or less matched by the English "mercy killing", but a control or controlling shot is a totally different thing - no mercy, just a cold-blood reckon. By the way, nowadays the term "control shot" is no more a gangsters' one in Russia: law-enforcement agencies servicemen have picked up it and use as an official term. Thanks to mass media this term is now known to all common people and regretfully has almost become a part of a current colloquial Russian language.
: I realise this isn't going to be much use to Valeriy, but there is a precise equivalent in the Lowland Scots language. On a famous occasion Robert the Bruce met another Scottish nobleman, the Red Comyn, in a church; they quarrelled and the Bruce drew his sword and gravely wounded him. Leaving the church he met a friend, Roger Kirkpatrick, and said "I doubt I have slain the Comyn", to which Kirkpatrick replied, "Will you leave such a matter in doubt? I will mak sikker (=make sure)", went into the church and stabbed the Comyn to death. Ever since, the phrase "mak sikker" has been used in Scots to mean "finish off a wounded person". (VSD)
Thank you, Victoria. It's really informative. Is this expressen frequently used and understandable to any Briton? I would like to find an expression which would not require additional explanations.

Growing Shrubs
Planting shrubs will give you privacy and beautify your backyard in no time at all.
The simple shrub—it can work wonders in your yard. Whether it's structure, privacy, color or wildlife you seek, there's a shrub to fill every need.
Growing on a smaller scale than trees, shrubs are easier to manage and more admirable at eye level. Their size also means it's easier to find spots for them in an existing landscape, and they won't create large areas of unwanted shade. As an added bonus, you get to enjoy their appearance year-round. Follow these steps and put shrubs to work for you:
Savvy Shopping
Do a little homework first. Find out which shrubs meet your needs. Maybe you're looking for foundation plantings around your house, a colorful autumnal show, security around windows or varieties that produce berries for the birds. Whatever you seek, ask the experts at your local nursery, check plant tags, surf the Internet, consult reference books or page through garden catalogs for recommendations.
Another way is to talk to your neighbors, especially those with shrubs you've admired. Ask if they can identify their beauties by variety, or at least direct you to the nursery where they purchased them. The advantage to this method is that you'll already know it grows well in your area.
Find the Right Spot
Take a walk around your property and determine where shrubs may fit in. Where are there gaps? Where would brilliant color or the unique form of a shrub be welcome?
The best time to assess these questions is before or after perennials and annuals have had their glory days. That way, you're not distracted by their beautiful shows.
The next logical question is how to make room for them. Here are a few suggestions:
- Replace shrubs you don't like. It sounds harsh, but if they're overgrown or no longer excite you, it may be time to make way for something new.
- Plant shrubs in new areas. Look to the back of a flower border, for example. Maybe you want to install a hedge as a boundary line, or you may want to cover up your home's foundation or the lower part of a deck.
- Steal some lawn. Every keen gardener has probably already done this once or twice. Making your lawn smaller by digging up some turf even reduces the regular upkeep!
- Look to the sun, or at least partial shade.Full shade, often created from trees directly above, stunts the growth of many shrubs and also creates a problem of competing root systems. Most often, long-established trees win.
- Avoid exposed sites. This leaves shrubs vulnerable. Full-on bright sun can dry or bleach-out leaf and flower color, especially in the South. Most shrubs do well in more moderate light conditions. Give them a break from the blazing heat of midday, whether it's the shadow of your house or garage, or the dappled shade of nearby trees.
- Gone with the wind. Exposing shrubs to wind stresses them out, causing them to wilt and struggle. Plus, wind strips off foliage that you want to stay on the plant as long as possible.
- Don't forget to size it up. Before breaking ground, consider a shrub's eventual size. Make sure it has the elbow room to grow.
Planting shrubs isn't as hard as you might think:
- Remove all tags, wires or ropes from the stems or trunk. These can kill the plant as it grows.
- Dig a hole at least two times wider than the diameter of the shrub's root ball. But don't dig deeper than the height of the root system. Otherwise, your plant will sink. Sunken planting holes collect water, and the plant's health may decline.Before planting your shrub, remove any large rocks and debris before scratching the sides of the planting hole with your shovel. This makes it easier for roots to penetrate the surrounding soil.
- Don't amend the soil. Since roots can extend well beyond the planting hole, it's next to impossible to amend the entire root zone. Plus, if a plant's roots enjoy the rich soil too much, they will not extend beyond the planting hole, eventually becoming rootbound.
- Loosen the roots of pot-bound, container-grown shrubs. After you've eased the plant out of the pot, use a sharp knife to make four slices in the root mass, from top to bottom at even intervals, about an inch deep. This severs any strangling roots and inspires new root growth, believe it or not!
- Place the shrub at the same depth it was growing in the container. The root ball should be level with or slightly above the surface of the ground.
- Backfill with the existing soil. When the hole is about three-quarters full, tamp the soil gently. Water the shrub heavily to eliminate air pockets. Finish filling the hole to ground level. Use excess soil to build a ring about 6 inches from the outside edge of the hole, creating a watering moat.
Finishing Touches
Once your plant is in the ground, water it thoroughly. This settles the soil, ensuring good root-soil contact for better root development. Add enough water to moisten the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. Continue to keep the root zone moist but not soggy.
Shrubs need thorough but less frequent watering. Check newly planted shrubs growing in sandy soils or hot regions twice a week. Those in clay soils or cooler regions should be checked every 7 to 10 days.
Apply a layer of mulch around new plantings, but be careful not to pile it over the crowns of plants. Mulching helps conserve moisture, moderate soil temperatures and keep mowers and weed cutters away from the plants.

Usually, people try to avoid trouble, yet Jesus set his direction straight toward those who were plotting to kill him. Jerusalem was the site of the Passover Festival celebration. People there needed to hear his message. Time was short. Jesus soon would enter Jerusalem for the last time.
People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: 'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"
"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."
Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
Then Peter spoke up, "We have left everything to follow you!"
"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first."
They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise."
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover. They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, "What do you think? Isn't he coming to the festival at all?" But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was should report it so that they might arrest him.
In what way did Jesus' words and actions reveal the fact that he is equal with God?

Corporate media news reports state that former Marine Brandon Raub was arrested by the FBI and the Secret Service and detained in a psychiatric hospital for anti-government posts on Facebook.
A large part of Raub's post, however, was not directed at the government. It was directed at the Federal Reserve. The Fed is not the government. It is a privately owned financial institution run by a cartel of banksters.
Millions of Americans believe the Federal Reserve is a federal agency despite the fact the Ninth Circuit Court ruled in 1982 that "the Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA, but are independent, privately-owned and locally controlled corporations."
Brandon knows what Congressman Charles Lindbergh, Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Congressman Wright Patman, Senator Barry Goldwater and others brave enough to speak their minds knew: the Federal Reserve is a criminal operation of the international money lenders and swindlers, it functions as a shadow government and has usurped the real government of the people of the United States by arrogant credit monopoly.
"The Federal Reserve is wrong. They have designed a system based off of greed and fear. They designed a system to crush the middle class between taxes and inflation. This is wrong, and it is unjust. It is wrong," Brandon wrote on November 11, 2011.
"This thing has deceived our entire nation… They created it in 1913. They also created the income tax in 1913. They encouraged the growth of debt so they can tax you on it. There is interest on the debt. Your government is in bed with these people. They want to enslave you to the government so that they can control every aspect of your lives. It is an empire based on lies. They operate of greed and fear."
Raub's arrest by the secret political police run by the banksters who own the United States sets a precedent and sends out a warning: you may be arrested and deemed mentally insane and locked up against your will in a mental ward if you tell the truth about the Federal Reserve.
The NDAA is not about al-Qaeda and terrorists. It's about those of you who dare tell the truth. If the government considers you a threat like they consider Brandon Raub a threat, they may send out the secret political police and disappear you.
After the economy collapses – a collapse engineered by the Federal Reserve and the international banksters who run it – and there is social chaos, the government may forgo the relative nicety of a mental ward and put a bullet in your head.

Time Warner Cable and Fox Sports San Diego representatives will be in the same room Thursday to do something they haven't done in months: Discuss their stalled negotiations over showing Padres games on television.
Instead of talking to each other, though, they'll be talking to a group of San Diego's politicians, some of whom are trying to end a yearlong impasse before the team's new season begins on April 1.
Angry Padres fans hope it's a step in the right direction, and some, including myself, are planning on attending the hearing, which is open to the public. But a new letter a Time Warner Cable lawyer sent the city attorney shows how far apart the two companies remain.
Public hearing
What: A special meeting of the San Diego City Council's Committee on Rules and Economic Development to discuss the yearlong Padres TV impasse between Fox Sports San Diego and Time Warner Cable.
When: Thursday, 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Where: San Diego City Hall, 202 C St.
Can't make it? Watch online or listen to an audio feed at 619-533-4001.
Upset? Email those involved.
The meeting is set to begin at 9 a.m. and conclude by 10:45 a.m. It will be held in the council committee room on the 12th floor of San Diego City Hall, 202 C. St. (Read the agenda.)
Councilwoman Sherri Lightner's Office confirmed Wednesday that people from both companies will speak at Thursday's special meeting of the council's Rules and Economic Development Committee. In a statement, Lightner's Office said: "The City of San Diego has a stake in the success of its local Major League Baseball Team as it generates economic activity, promotes San Diego to a national audience, and boosts civic pride. Because of that fact, the city must do all it can to encourage the two sides to reach a deal to broadcast the Padres."
Lightner, Mayor Bob Filner and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith have all written letters to the embattled TV executives in hopes of getting them to resume talks. Meanwhile, some fans have told me they have canceled or are prepared to drop Time Warner Cable if a deal doesn't get done by month's end. Anger is also being directed at Fox Sports San Diego and the Padres, which have a 20 percent equity stake in the company.
Tuesday Time Warner Cable's senior vice president and deputy general counsel Jeffrey Zimmerman responded to Goldsmith's letter.
Directly addressing some of Goldsmith's speculation, Zimmerman's letter emphasized repeatedly there was no link between its new, longterm deals to broadcast Dodgers and Lakers games in Los Angeles and its inability to come to terms with Fox Sports San Diego over Padres games.
"Time Warner Cable remains willing to negotiate with Fox for the rights to put the San Diego Padres on our lineup; in fact, we have made a number of proposals designed to reach an agreement," Zimmerman wrote. "Unfortunately, Fox decided to declare an impasse early on in the negotiations, and has refused to budge since then. We have offered a reasonable price, but Fox has demanded 300 percent more than the price we paid for Padres games two years ago. This is unreasonable, and it's the only reason we are not carrying the games; that decision has nothing at all to do with who does or doesn't own the network. If Fox is willing to provide us the Padres games at a fair price, we will carry them; that's the result we want. It's as simple as that."
Another section of the letter reads:
While our deal with the Dodgers RSN [regional sports network] sounds like a lot of money, it represents two and a half decades of the ability to carry the Dodgers at a predictable cost. Fox, on the other hand, looks to raise rates at double digit increases every few years and refuses to offer a long term deal that comes anywhere close to the Dodgers or Lakers deals. It's easy to see which type of deal makes the most sense for our customers -- including, by the way, our customers who are not interested in Padres baseball at all, who we must also keep in mind when deciding how much to pay for the games.
Four of San Diego County's five major TV providers have agreed to televise the channel's Padres games this season, as Fox Sports San Diego executives and spokespeople repeatedly point out. Time Warner Cable, which represents about 22 percent of the county's pay TV households, is the lone holdout.
A Fox Sports San Diego spokesman had this to say Wednesday: "The issue is clear: Time Warner Cable has been offered the fair-market terms that the four other major providers in San Diego have agreed to. Anything else is an excuse for not paying fair value for Padres games. Time Warner Cable's decision to not offer Padres games to their customers sends a clear signal that they don't value San Diego sports like they do elsewhere, especially in Los Angeles."
So, will you be at the hearing Thursday morning?

The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+.
Rule on.
Where you lead,others will follow
You are the driving force. The E 63 S 4MATIC+ will always keep up with you. Just the side view, with its many carefully coordinated elements, conveys that sense of untamed forward thrust. One particular detail: the "V8 BITURBO 4MATIC+" lettering on the wing. The side sill panels with their inlays lower the vehicle still further and give the impression of stretching the overall lines of the car. Rounding things off at the back is the muscular rear end with a spoiler lip in vehicle color that has been given a visually sharp edge, the AMG sports exhaust system with two chrome-plated twin tailpipes and the rear apron with a diffuser insert in high-gloss black and three fins. There's nothing to stop you. Go ahead.
Listen to your inner drive
No one knows better than you do: time is precious. Which is why you need to act quickly. Not waste a moment. With an output of 450 kW (612 HP), the AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine is the most powerful engine ever installed in an E-Class. At 850 Nm, the peak torque also reaches a new record level, giving you a sense of supreme assurance, whatever the position of the gas pedal. The dash from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in 3.4 seconds. The continuing forward thrust comes to an end at an automatically governed 250 km/h, or at 300 km/h with the AMG Driver's Package. Despite such power, the standard cylinder shut off system means that the engine is now even more efficient than ever and even marks the benchmark in its segment.
