For the past few months, I've been reading articles from the Notices of the AMS, something I never did earlier. This is a direct consequence of reading In Theory and Ars Mathematica, both of which will regularly highlight articles from the latest issue of the Notices.
I'm amazed at how many of the articles I find interesting enough to peruse, or even print out to read offline. Most of these are technical articles, on specific topics in mathematics. Quite often, there will be discussions on topics tangentially related to theoryCS or even things that I'm interested in. For example, the May issue of the Notices has an article titled, "How to generate random matrices from the classical compact groups". Anyone who messes around in geometry and graphics will immediately see the connection to the standard problem of generating a random rotation, and in fact there's a very interesting explanation of the group theory underlying the standard procedure for generating a random orthogonal matrix.
A second article with the whimsical title, "If Euclid had been Japanese" discusses the constructibility of points using folding operations rather than "Euclidean" constructions. Apart from the obvious origami connections, this is particularly interesting to me because I've been experimenting with a short presentation that tries to explain algorithms via origami (folds are like steps in a program, etc..).
I could go on like this. Every issue has at least one article that is both acecssible and interesting to me, and I'm not even a mathematician ! Why can't we have such a delightful magazine for computer science, or even for theoryCS ?
SIGACT News does a valiant job. And it's hard work to manage a newsletter, along with all one's other activities. But it comes out far too rarely, and one doesn't often find the kind of short vignettes that entertain and illuminate at the same time. I enjoy the algorithms column and the geometry column. I will make valiant attempts to read the complexity column, but it's often too "structural complexity" for me. But in a way I am unable to articulate, I find SIGACT News somehow less stimulating than the Notices. I wonder if others share this view as well ?
Update (5/3/07): I think I just had an epiphany. The above post is the equivalent of my standing in front of the Model T, wondering why my horse-buggy can't go any faster. In other words, we already have excellent publications that write expository surveys and cute vignettes that connect the community together. They're called blogs !!

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|No. 1
That clown Brucie is up to it again. Go and visit him at his place on Mohanet Avenue in Broker, and speak with him to be brought to his garage, where a beautiful car is waiting there. It may seem like you're going to be able to use this car on your own for an upcoming race, but there will be no such luck for you. Instead of using that vehicle, you'll have to go find another pimped-out vehicle that Brucie can use, because he can't get the one sitting in his garage to start. Them's the breaks.
From your location on Mohanet Avenue, boost a car and follow the coordinates the GPS lays out for you. You're heading to Freetown Avenue, which is over on the east side of Broker. Simply drive there, following your GPS coordinates. When you finally arrive at the car's location, ditch your current car and get into the sports car. It's time to speed off to the race's starting line.
The starting line of this race is west from where you grabbed Brucie's friend's car. Head there using the HUD's GPS coordinates; your goal is to arrive at Huntington Street. When you arrive to the proper area, you'll see five other cars already lined up and ready to race. You'll start on the right side at the back of the pack, but if you're a good driver, you're gonna be just fine here... especially in the whip you're currently sporting.

Lowery crushes grand slam in Cactus debut
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Thursday's exhibition game between the Reds and Indians featured each clubs' aces. Both fared well in their 2014 debuts before the Indians took a 12-3 victory at Goodyear Ballpark.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Thursday's exhibition game between the Reds and Indians featured each clubs' aces. Both fared well in their 2014 debuts before the Indians took a 12-3 victory at Goodyear Ballpark.
Cleveland used a five-run top of the fifth inning after the starters were long gone to snap a 2-2 tie and move ahead for good.View Full Game Coverage
Johnny Cueto, who made three trips to the disabled list last season with a strained right lat muscle, showed no signs of trouble. He pitched two scoreless innings with one hit, two walks and two strikeouts. In the first inning, Cueto gave up a one-out double down the left-field line to Mike Aviles before escaping. His two walks came in the second inning but he escaped by getting a lineout and a strikeout.
"I felt great. I felt nothing," said Cueto, who started the previous two Opening Days for the Reds. The club has not named this season's rotation as of yet.
Justin Masterson, Cleveland's likely Opening Day starter, pitched one scoreless inning with one hit and two strikeouts. Billy Hamilton led off with the first inning with a lined single to left-center field and advanced two bases when Aviles' cutoff throw from shortstop to first base went for an error into the seats.
"In a live game, you get a little amped up early on," Masterson said. "That's always my battle -- getting a little amped up. I had to settle down a little bit and try to throw some four-seamers and some sinkers."
Indians manager Terry Francona liked what he saw from Masterson.
"Masty out of the box was pretty good," he said. "He had some movement on his two-seamer. One inning of work, you're not going to see a whole lot of pitches, which is good."
Cincinnati scored first in the bottom of the second against Corey Kluber. Zack Cozart hit a two-run double to left field before he was thrown out at third base trying for a triple.
In the top of the fourth against Reds lefty David Holmberg, Elliot Johnson hit his first home run of spring with a game-tying two-run shot to left field on a first pitch.
Prospect Daniel Corcino entered for the Reds in the fifth and struggled to allow four runs with one hit and three walks. Corcino gave up an RBI ground-rule double to left field by Erik Gonzalez. The Reds lifted Corcino with the bases loaded. Lefty Ismael Guillon's first batter, Jake Lowery, crushed a 1-0 pitch for a grand slam to right field.
With one out in the sixth against Guillon, Nyjer Morgan hit a RBI double off of the wall in right-center field. Guillon let another run in on a wild pitch.
It was the first game this spring as a third baseman for Indians star Carlos Santana, who converted from catcher. Santana played two innings in the field without a ball being hit his way.
Francona commented on the flurry of runs after the game.
"Today was a Spring Training day. The ball was carrying all over the place," he said. "Fortunately for us, our pitchers for the most part kept it on the ground. They did a good job. We got some balls up in the wind. It was good."
Up next for Indians: New Indians closer John Axford is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut Friday, when Cleveland takes on the Reds in a 3:05 p.m. ET clash at Goodyear Ballpark. Zach McAllister is scheduled to start, followed by righty Josh Tomlin, who is vying for the lone vacancy in the rotation.

First Quarter:
15:00 - OoooOOooo. Kevin Smith in on special teams. Looks like he was activated this week to make sure Stefan Logan doesn't do anytihng stupid. Not a terrible move.
14:54 - Doh! Megatron in single coverage and Stafford with plenty of protection. Throw is nowhere near him. Gulp.
14:08 - Third down conversion! No three-and-out! Ungulp!
13:49 - Overthrow. Gulp: 2, Ungulp: 1.
13:00 - Stafford griping about something to the refs after failing to convert third down. Upon review, he has nothing to complain about.
11:26 - Corey Williams giveth (tackle for loss) and taketh away (offsides). I guess this is why Schwartz is okay with the occasional jump over the line of scrimmage.
Rule 9 - Section 1 - Article 3:
"During a punt, a field-goal attempt, or a Try Kick, a Team B player [receiving team], who is within one yard of the line of scrimmage at the snap, must have his entire body outside of the snapper's shoulder pads." [emphasis added]In other words, if you are within a yard of the line of scrimmage you cannot be lined up over the center. To the tape! (click to make picture go boom!)
Willie Young is lined up a tad over a yard away from the line of scrimmage just before the snap. He leans in a little bit after this snapshot, but not more than a couple inches. The purpose of this rule is to give the center time to protect himself after snapping the ball to the punter. Young gave him space and time to set himself. This should not have been a penalty.
8:00 - Jonte Green had no idea what to do on this play. He was desperately trying to get a linebacker's attention, but to no avail. The receiver proceeded to find the zone between Green and Tulloch easily.
3:23 - Stafford with two straight check-downs for a good chunk of yards. Gooooood Stafford.
2:40 - Raiola and a pulling Peterman with excellent blocks to seal the inside hole for Leshoure.
0:00 - This was an absoutely beautiful drive. 9 plays, 82 yards. 4 rushes, 5 passes. Zero incompletions. Every play went for 3 yards or more. Balance. Efficiency. Big plays on the ground (16 yards). Big plays through the air (19, 20). Best drive of the season.
Second Quarter
14:43 - It seems like every time the Lions offense seems to turn the corner, the team gives up a big play to suck the air out of the optimism balloon. It happened in the fourth quarter in Tennessee, after the Lions came back to take the lead, the Titans returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown. And on Seattle's first play after that beautiful drive, Marshawn Lynch goes 77 yards in one play.
14:10 - Of course the Lions' first offensive play after that touchdown is a sack. Of course. Pretty much everyone not named Gosder Cherilus on the offensive line is to blame for this one. Main offenders: Peterman and Backus.
12:16 - If you want to call pass interference on this play, ref, that's fine. There's contact there for sure. But don't specify with the "armbar" disclaimer. There was no armbar.
11:30 - If you need evidence that the Lions are in trouble with their cornerback situation, just watch this drive. It won't take you long. Green can't stick with receivers without a ton of contact, and Alphonso Smith will bite on any fake you give him. Get well, Drayton Florence, Bill Bentley, Jacob Lacey, Dre Bly, Fernando Bryant, and Stanley Wilson.
8:49 - I'd break down this bomb to Titus Young, but you've all seen the replays; Titus just burned him. Instead, I'll let you in on a secret of mine. I LOVE analyzing crowd shots. There's something so pleasurable about seeing all the weird people that attend sporting events. My secret hobby has led me to a couple gems: including this one and this one. Anyway, lets break down the post-Titus TD crowd shot. Luckily, SB Nation was all over this one with a GIF:
There are two AWESOME things about this. #1 is checkered-sweater guy. I guess it's cool that he got the colors right on the sweater, but, come on. The Lions and Tigers are playing today, you've got to have some sort of sports apparel with seats that good. Anyway, he's going in for the high-five, which is risky considering how much Young is into himself. It predictably backfires, but the guy cleverly turns it into a "we're #1!" sign. Very sneaky.
The other awesome, but actually terrible, component of this GIF can be seen in the bottom right corner as the camera zooms out. As everyone is going crazy, there is a guy in a Tigers hat that can't be bothered to lift his head from his phone to celebrate the moment. He may be recording the players on the field, but it seems more likely that this jerk is tweeting something like "OMG, THE LIONS JUST SCORED A GOAL IN FRONT OF ME! MEGATRON IS STANDING NEXT TO ME!" And if he is recording on his phone, HOLD THAT SHIT LANDSCAPE-STYLE, SON!
Okay, enough nonsense, back to the game.
7:22 - Mmmmm. Excellent blitz on third down to force a bad throw and a three-and-out.
6:55 - I don't know what route Titus was running on this play, but it looked a lot like the lets-run-into-the-defender-and-see-where-to-go-from-there route.
4:25 - Another good third down blitz from Cunningham, forcing a quick throw and a completion short of the sticks. Defense holding strong when they aren't getting penalties.
1:10 - Pretty poor clock management on this final drive for the Lions. I get running a draw or two to try and catch the defense sleeping, but they had no play ready to go after and spent 15 seconds waiting for the call to come in.
0:56 - "Not only did they take too much time, they're gonna leave time on the clock now for Seattle." - Something that was ACTUALLY said by A GUY WHO GETS PAID TO SAY THINGS ABOUT FOOTBALL. Ver-batim.
Third Quarter
13:07 - Delmas with a magnificent play on the screen. If he doesn't make that tackle, Lynch picks up at least 20 yards.
12:25 - Oy. On the very next play, Delmas gets turned around and beaten terribly by Sidney Rice. Meanwhile, Ricardo Silva takes a bad angle, and both are bailed out by a dropped touchdown pass. Yikes.
12:06 - Stafford is the WORST at dealing with a play when it breaks down. Why he sometimes refuses to throw the ball away baffles me.
10:55 - What an awesome, awesome play on 3rd and 11. This play is solely for Ryan Broyles. The other receivers (specifically Kevin Smith and Brandon Pettigrew) pretend to run routes, but they are actually getting in position to block for when Broyles makes the catch. As you can see, when he catches the ball, he already has two downfield blockers to help get some yards after the catch and pick up the first down.
9:32 - OH. MY. GOD. A pump-fake AND a Stafford scramble on the same play.
8:23 - "I don't care what the coverage is, he deserves 10 targets." That is why you aren't an offensive coordinator. Just the fragment "I don't care what the coverage is" is the most nonsensical thing you can say when discussing offensive strategy.
7:35 - Kudos to Pettigrew for putting his head down, and taking a big hit to pick up the first down on a third and 10. Usually he tries to dance around that contact.
6:27 - Great...execution?!?! Stafford feels the pressure, extends the play with his feet, and Young makes a phenomenal grab....then Pete Carroll makes the worst challenge of all time.
5:18 -
Why, Stafford, why? It's second and three. You have plenty of time and room. What on Earth did you see here? Scheffler is not open and the Seahawks are clearly playing one-high safety, who was there waiting for your pass. Granted there was no one else open and you tried to pull the safety to the right with your eyes, but if you waited one more second, Joique Bell was releasing and could have easily picked up five yards. Terrible decision by Stafford.
1:57 - I still don't think Silva is worthy of being a starter on an NFL roster, but that was a helluva(n?) interception.
Fourth Quarter
13:10 - Stafford. Is. Dealing.
13:02 - Pretty sure the refs just threw a flag because the back judge cannot count properly. Good thing they picked it up.
11:41 - The Lions are the worst quarterback sneaking team in the league. And although I typically have no problem running that play, that was not the time nor the place. The Seahawks are too good in the redzone and too good at stopping the run.
10:52 - Lordy, Corey Williams. He was in the backfield before Wilson had turned to hand the ball off. What a jump. Thanks for no replay, FOX.
9:40 - GAHHHHH. Suh, playing defensive end, drives his man five yards into the backfield, but can't get a hand on Wilson. Meanwhile, Rice finds the hole in the zone and sits there. Backbreaking third-and-long conversion.
6:15 - Not much to say about the fourth down conversion. Tough play to make by Alphonso Smith, just a nano-second too late.
5:27 - I don't know exactly what Ashlee Palmer was doing. He wasn't running his hardest and must have thought the tight end had given up on the play. Credit to Zach Miller for the outstanding catch, but it's always frustrating when a backup gets exploited like that.
3:45 - Another BIG catch in traffic on third down, this time by Calvin Johnson. Amazing what happens when your players make plays when you need them to.
3:24 - ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG [/Charlie Brown] This WR screen could have been HUGE. Backus doesn't get much of his man, but Titus escapes anyway and had Raiola and Sims as lead blockers with almost no one in the way.
Raiola picks up the linebacker and Sims takes care of the safety. Touchdown, right?
Not quite. Raiola runs right by the linebacker and the defender makes the play. Raiola can only look back in horror as the guy he failed to pick up tackles Young resulting in a not-touchdown.
Awwww, look at him. It's almost like he knows he did something wrong.
1:51 - Stafford is dealing again. Putting the ball exactly where it needs to be: away from defenders where only the receiver can grab it. Even his overthrow to Scheffler was a nice, safe pass.
0:43 - Okay, the "drop" by Megatron. Beautiful play, beautiful throw. Just absolutely unfortunate that Calvin can't bring it in. He barely had time to turn his head and locate the ball and the reason for that is likely his knee injury. Johnson brought it up specifically when talking about the play, but insisted it was "no excuse." That's just Calvin being Calvin. I think this injury is more serious than he is implying.
0:35 - Why the Lions called a timeout here, I have no idea. Get to the line, run a quick play, and save a timeout. That way, you still have the option to run the ball from the one yard line.
0:22 - Before this play happened, I saw Titus obviously in one-on-one coverage, and I prayed they wouldn't be tempted by it. I was wrong. I apologize. Young came up with a solid catch in tight coverage and won the game. Thank you, Titus. Thank you.

I don't know why, but I find it very satisfying that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump is still feuding with Adrienne Maloof. It just makes me feel better about kind of thinking that Adrienne is the worst. There's just less and less to find sympathetic about the casino mogul, and the more I realize I'm not alone in this stewing distrust of her, a 51-year-old woman who wears glitter hair extensions, the more I'm comforted. And, well, it goes without saying that Lisa is everything. Sure, she's made a bad decision to back that waiter/waitress reality show, Vanderpump Rules, but what she lacks in television production skills she makes up for with her pithy yet truthful one-liners, and her propensity to wear fabulously monochromatic outfits.
My Lisa obsession aside, this feud of hers with Adrienne will make for one fantastic season 3 reunion. Um, hello! Remember what happened when these two went at it at the season 2 reunion?
Add an extra year of heat to that fire, and look out, this pending season 3 reunion could get ugly.
And as everyone knows, the uglier the reunion, the better. I mean, how BORING was this latest RHONY reunion? They'd all mended fences, for the most part, between the end of the season and their sit-down with Andy Cohen, and because of their sudden frenemyships, it was dull as hell to watch them talk about how they've forgiven and forgotten. No one even laid into LuAnn for being exposed as a fucking liar and a cheater! Ugh, it was so platitudinous. But I digress.
Back to Adrienne and Lisa. Lisa doesn't seem like the kind of person who would hold a grudge without good cause, and I appreciate that she continues to distance herself from Adrienne. Between Adrienne's bizarre surrogacy "secret", her nasty divorce from Paul, and her downright evilness on the show (It's character assassination! I'm going to sue her for all she's worth!), I hope Lisa, or anyone else, for that matter, calls Adrienne out for being kind of a dick during season 3.
And if we could get some finger pointing and maybe a table flip or two during such a conversation, that'd be great.
Do you think Lisa is right to stay away from Adrienne?

- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- It feels casual yet luxurious at the same time and is really restful. The mood in this bedroom is a departure from the rest of the suite, which makes it a nice retreat.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Decorate with what you love. Of all rooms, your bedroom should be the one that really reflects who you are. Start by knowing what you want to achieve in the bedroom and which tasks you have to accommodate (a reading space, separate storage for shoes) and make sure you address them, that way you will end up with a beautiful and functional space.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- It's tiny, but it is uncluttered. I like to have enough surface area so that there can be a designated zone for everything from reading, to writing, to storing jewellery and magazines.

Indians largest permanent migrants to Australia
Indians have become the largest source of permanent migrants who chose to make Australia their home, comprising over 15 per cent of the intake under the country's migration programme this year.world Updated: Jul 19, 2012 11:46 IST
Indians have become the largest source of permanent migrants who chose to make Australia their home, comprising over 15 per cent of the intake under the country's migration programme this year.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen, who is also Citizenship minister, released new official data which showed Indians taking the top spot.
Indian migrants comprised a total of 29,018 places or 15.7 per cent of the total migration programme of 185,000 places under the 2011-12 permanent migration programme.
"For some time, India has been a source of increasing numbers of new migrants to our country and it is now our largest source of permanent migrants," Bowen said in an official statement.
"The Indian community has made a valuable contribution to economic, social and cultural life in Australia, and I know this will continue with more Indians choosing to make their home here," he said.
China and the United Kingdom were Australia's second and third largest sources of permanent migrants, with 25,509 and 25,274 places respectively.
Seven of the top 10 source countries in Australia's 2011-12 migration programme are from Asia: India, China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and Vietnam.
The family stream had a final outcome of 58,604 places, representing 31.7 per cent of the total migration programme.
"The family stream is an essential component of our migration programme, as it allows Australians to unite with their loved ones, particularly with their partners and children," Bowen said.
"I am pleased that the government will help even more families to reunite under this programme next year, as I increased family places from 58,600 to 60,185 in this year's Budget," he said.
Skilled migration accounted for over two-thirds of Australia's total migration programme, with a 2011-12 skill stream outcome of 125 755 places.

One of the most frustrating things for Zen, not just Soto Zen, practitioners is the way Tibetan Buddhism interprets their tradition through the lens of a single historical incident that took place over 1,000 years ago. As a former Zen practitioner I can attest to feeling like I was in some kind of strange surreal realm when talking to Tibetan Buddhists about Zen, unless they had previously practiced Zen. It is common, for example, for Tibetan Buddhists to state that Zen seeks to "eliminate" thoughts. The problem with this is that no Zen Master, no Zen Meditation manual, ever says this. I think this is one of the root sources for the kind of tension that people observe.LisaMann wrote:Greetings and thanks for the invite!
As far as Tibetan vs Zen, this is nothing new... hey there've been issues for a millennium, and I guess some Tibetans still see Mo-ho-yen under every bed. "Ban the blasphemer!" Heck, back then we got the boot from the Tibetan plateau, now we just get the boot off a website.
It stinks, but we can choose to, or not to, participate. I'll leave my sandals behind, at least.
Please understand that I am not disparaging the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, I am only pointing out how that tradition treats a non-Tibetan tradition in such a way that it gives rise to tensions that have been observed and commented on by posters here.
Best wishes,

LIFE IS BUT A SONG AS THE CAST OF "SCRUBS" STAR IN A MUSICAL EPISODE WITH SONGS WRITTEN BY THE TONY AWARD-WINNING COMPOSERS OF "AVENUE Q," ROBERT LOPEZ AND JEFF MARX -- STEPHANIE D'ABRUZZO (AN ORIGINAL CAST MEMBER OF "AVENUE Q") GUEST STARS - Sacred Heart is turned into a full scale Broadway stage when Patti (Stephanie D'Abruzzo) checks in complaining of hearing incessant music. While trying to determine the cause of this strange complaint the residents of Sacred Heart star in their own musical. Carla (Judy Reyes) and Turk (Donald Faison) tango over her decision to be a stay at home mom or to return to work, while Elliot struggles with telling J.D. (Zach Braff) that she doesn't want to be roommates with him anymore -- both girls hope that the boy's "Guy Love" will help them through the rough patch. All the while the staff wonders if life would be happier if everyone was in constant harmony. John C. McGinley, Ken Jenkins and Neil Flynn also star.

I do not know how hard this is to create but what would be a timesaver for a lot of us is to create some default content for a rich text field in Designer and have it generated in the Notes client.
For example for new documents I would like to have a table in the rich text field. Nowadays I could create a table via lotusscript in the rich text but then it comes to programming. Especially if you want to have good looking tables it takes much more work.
A timesaver would be to define already the table in Designer and show it in Notes when creating a new document.

Do-it-yourselfers and computer enthusiasts, have you ever found yourself wondering what a stack of 160 Mac minis would look like? Even if your answer is "no," it might be worth your while to check out this custom-built server made by someone who goes by the name of "Steve." Needing an alternative to the now-defunct Apple Xserve – a server rack built by the same company who makes your iPhones and iPads – Steve decided to design a rack that can house hundreds of the company's teensy computer boxes. He even documented his work on his blog for us to see.
According to Hackaday, Steve worked on the project from the ground up, even collaborating with a vendor to create a special shelf that can hold four Mac minis side-by-side in a square layout. These shelves were then stacked on top of each other to create a tower of computers. With the number of computers in the server, the potential to become a mess of tangled wires is very likely, so instead of plugging each mini to an outlet, Steve used cables that can connect all four Mac minis per shelf to a single power source.
Cooling was another problem Steve had to tackle. With 160 Mac minis, the likelihood of the custom server overheating was high, so Steve designed a cooling system made out of four car radiator fans built onto the structure's door. Each mini was also fitted with a plastic panel to make sure the heat it gives off doesn't affect its neighboring computer. Aside from the custom server's details, the blog didn't mention what it was actually used for, although Steve did say that it was used in a "production environment," and that the minis "run great." While the project was obviously a success, Steve believes that he can go even bigger. Based on the most recent post on the blog, it seems he has plans to outdo himself in the future by building a server with 240 Mac minis. Good luck, Steve!

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel's prime minister and other officials are at the forefront of claims about the extent and aims of Iran's nuclear capabilities. Benjamin Netanyahu has said his nation is ready, if necessary, to stand alone to stop any moves by Tehran toward possible nuclear weapons.
Iran has described the Israeli statements as scare-mongering that seeks to undermine nuclear talks between Tehran and six world powers, including the United States. The next round of the talks is to begin in Geneva on Thursday. Iran insists it rejects nuclear arms and only seeks reactors for energy and medical applications.
Israel has led the speculation that Iran could be moving closer to having all the pieces ready for a nuclear weapon. Israel also fears the negotiations could leave intact the mainstays of Iran's nuclear network: The ability to enrich uranium and produce atomic fuel.
Some of Israel's claims are based on clear evidence — number of Iran's enrichment centrifuges, for example — but context and elaboration is often needed for a more complete picture.
CLAIM: At an Oct. 27 meeting of the Israeli Cabinet, Netanyahu said "improvements" in Iran's nuclear program over the past year would allow it push past the "barrier" of 20 percent enriched uranium — the highest level acknowledged by Iran — to reach 90 percent enrichment within "weeks at most." Uranium at 90 percent enrichment is close to weapons grade.
DETAILS: Netanyahu may be talking about the amount of 20 percent material now on hand. This is close to 200 kilograms (440 pounds). Experts say 250 kilograms (550 pounds) would be needed to produce a single bomb by enriching that amount to above 90 percent. There is significant debate over a possible timetable, but many experts say it could be several months or longer, based on the hypothetical scenario that Iran would move ahead with higher enrichment.
Netanyahu also could be referring to the number of centrifuges installed over the past year or upgrades that allow faster production of enriched uranium. Except for a test station, however, none of the new generation machines are running.
CLAIM: At the same Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said Iran's planned heavy water reactor in the city of Arak has "no connection with energy for peace, but only for nuclear weapons."
DETAILS: The heavy water reactor — currently under construction in central Iran — uses a molecular variant of water as a coolant and can use natural, non-enriched uranium as a fuel. Such reactors produce a higher amount of plutonium as a byproduct. The plutonium can be reused in nuclear weapons production, but needs a special extraction and enrichment process that Iran currently does not possess. Iran has not released details on its plans for plutonium, but said the reactor's main purpose is to produce isotopes for cancer treatment and other medical uses. Iran has said it will allow 24-hour video surveillance at the reactor by the U.N.'s nuclear agency. Similar round-the-clock monitoring is in place at other enrichment and nuclear sites.
CLAIM: Israel's Security Cabinet said on Oct. 15 that Iran has "systematically defied" U.N. Security Council resolutions to halt uranium enrichment.
DETAILS: The U.N. Security Council in July 2006 passed the first in a series of resolutions demanding Iran halt its uranium enrichment program. Iran dismissed the resolution and moved ahead with advances in enrichment, as well as the then-secret construction of a new and fortified enrichment facility built into a mountain south of Tehran.
The U.N. measure was taken after concluding that the U.N.'s nuclear agency — the International Atomic Energy Agency — did not have enough information from Tehran on whether its nuclear program was solely for peaceful purposes. The vote opened the way for much tighter sanctions on Iran. Although the provisions of the Security Council resolution remain in place, nuclear negotiators from the U.S. and allies appear to have backed off demands that Iran halt its enrichment efforts. Discussion at the talks has shifted to possibly allowing enrichment — with strict U.N. monitoring — at lower levels need for peaceful reactors.
Iran insists it has the "right" to uranium enrichment because it has signed the U.N.'s Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT, which oversees the spread of nuclear technology. Israel, which is widely believed to have a nuclear arsenal, has not signed the NPT.
CLAIM: The Israeli Security Cabinet statement said Iran has increased the number of centrifuges used in enrichment from 164 in 2006 to more than 18,000.
DETAILS: This is correct but not all are active. Of those 18,000 installed, Iran currently runs more than 10,000 centrifuges, which convert uranium feed stock into nuclear fuel.
CLAIM: The Israeli statement notes that Iran's advances in the technology needed to create nuclear fuel mean that Tehran is also "able to produce nuclear weapons."
DETAILS: While technically true, this would apply to at least five countries that enrich uranium but do not have their own nuclear arsenal. The list includes Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands.
CLAIM: In remarks at the weekly Cabinet meeting on Oct. 6, Netanyahu said that "16 countries produce nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without even one centrifuge," suggesting those countries obtain nuclear fuel abroad.
DETAILS: The number is correct. The list spans the globe including Canada, Belgium and South Africa.
CLAIM: In an Oct. 3 interview with Univision, Netanyahu said Iran has "missiles that can reach Israel" and was "building these long-range intercontinental missiles to reach the United States."
DETAILS: Iran has claimed its Shahab-3 missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), which covers much of the Middle East, including Israel. Iran's aerospace program has reported the launch of satellites and animals to outside earth's atmosphere. This has raised concerns in the West that the same technology could be used to develop an intercontinental arsenal.

By Billy Graham • April 26, 2017 • Topics: Crisis Situations, Suffering
I suspect almost everyone reading this has asked themselves the same question, because evil is real, and at times our world seems completely in its grip. And to be honest, we don't always know why God allows evil things to happen. The Bible talks about "the mystery of iniquity"—and that's what evil often is: a mystery (2 Thessalonians 2:7, KJV).
But the Bible tells us two important truths about evil that we need to remember. First, evil doesn't come from God; He didn't create it, and He doesn't cause it. Evil comes instead from the Evil One—Satan—who is absolutely opposed to God and His goodness. It also comes from within our hearts, as we turn away from God and live only for ourselves. Jesus said, "For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly" (Mark 7:21-22).
Second, the Bible assures us that God has already done something about evil! He sent His only Son into the world to defeat it—and He did. When Jesus died on the cross and then rose again from the dead, He confronted the powers of death and evil and Hell—and He defeated them. Some day the final battle will be fought, and He will come again to destroy all evil.
Don't put your hope only in this world's solutions; they'll always disappoint you. Instead, put your hope in Jesus Christ, for He is with us, and one day His victory over evil will be complete.
most people of the world say will if god is love then why does he let evil come to the world? will god is love and he cares for us he sent his son die for our sins .its the devil that cates evil.
And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things

U.S. peanut producers, working under a revamped government program for the first time in nearly 70 years, need to change their mindsets when it comes to managing the 2002 crop.
"In the past, we thought about quota pounds, quota price and additionals price," says Marshall Lamb, economist with the USDA National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga. "Now, we need to be thinking about payment acres, payment yields and bases."
Lamb outlined the new peanut program recently to a standing-room-only crowd at the Wiregrass Regional Research & Extension Center in southeast Alabama.
On the price side, the new program consists of a loan rate ($355 per ton), a fixed payment ($36 per ton), target price ($495 per ton), base acreage (1998-2001 average), fixed payment program yield ((1998-2001 average), counter-cyclical program yield (1998-2001 average), and the quota buyout (11 cents per pound per year for five years or a 55-cent lump sum).
"Each of these should be considered in your marketing plan because they're going to affect you," says Lamb.
Payment or base acres, he explains, is 85 percent of the four-year acres"actually planted" for the 1998-2001 period. This is prorated if you're a sharecropper, or if you've shared in the risk of producing and selling the crop.
"In 1998-2001, if you planted 100 acres in each year so that your average planted acres was 100, then 85 acres would be your payment acres.
"Understand that if there was a year when you didn't plant or you leased out, your payment acres will be reduced by that amount."
Program or average yield, says Lamb, is your average yield from 1998-2001. The grower can drop three of those four years and substitute the county average from 1990-1997 in determining average yield. "That's a tremendous help to many growers, and it'll help you to maintain a good yield going into this new program."
The deadline for assigning peanut base, he says, is set as March 31, 2003.
You can assign the base to your own farm or to another farm in the same state or in a contiguous state. You must be a historical producer in the state or a producer in the state on March 31, 2003. This is a one-time assignment.
The base, he adds, doesn't have to go back to the land it was generated upon, although it can. The sum of all crop bases, including peanuts, cotton and grains, cannot exceed the actual cropland acres.
The fixed payment rate of $36 per ton goes to the historic producer this year, says Lamb. "Basically, the direct payment is the base acreage multiplied by 85 percent multiplied by the program yield multiplied by the $36 payment rate. It's very simple.
"From 2003-2007, the direct payment goes to the producer on a farm on which the peanut yield and base are assigned. It's the same formula except we're using the payment yield rather than the average yield. It's a very subtle difference, and you don't need to worry about that now."
The target price, notes Lamb, is $495 per ton. "We'll have to work hard to correctly establish a national average market price for peanuts. The law is written so that it will be received by a producer during the 12-month marketing year, from Aug. 1 through July 31.
"This is a very important price series as far as your wallet is concerned.
"The law states that the national average price will be determined by the secretary of agriculture. We have to make sure it accurately reflects what we're receiving for our peanuts. This price can affect your income."
The loan rate, says Lamb, is $355 per ton, and the effective price is the higher of either the loan rate or the national or average market price. If the loan rate is higher than the market price, then the effective price will be the loan rate plus the direct payment.
The counter-cyclical payment is the target price minus the fixed direct payment minus the average season price or national loan — whichever is higher — multiplied by the base acreage multiplied by 85 percent multiplied by the payment yield.
"The payment rate varies for the counter-cyclical payment. It could be zero. If the average market price of peanuts goes up and closes the gap to the target price, then the counter-cyclical payment will be zero.
"If the market price stays at or below the loan rate, it could range up to $104 per ton. But don't think of that as something bad. Because, either way, there are opportunities, and that's good. There will be many more opportunities for growers in this new farm bill."
The counter-cyclical payment goes to the historic producer in 2002. From 2003 through 2007, it goes to the producer on the farm on which the base is assigned.
"Don't confuse the counter-cyclical payment with the loan deficiency payment (LDP). You don't have to produce a peanut crop to receive the counter-cyclical payment."
The counter-cyclical payment will be made at the end of the marketing year for peanuts. However, growers can receive partial payments in October and in February. The final payment — made at the end of the marketing year — will be the difference between the final actual counter-cyclical payment and what you've been paid in the first and second payments.
"This is a very critical cash flow issue for you as a grower. Make sure you're aware of this, and make sure your lender is aware of this. The timing of this cash flow will be very important."
The following is an example of a peanut grower's revenue under the new program, assuming a 1-ton-per-acre average.
|Decoupled Payment
|$36 per ton Target Price $495
|Market Price
|Selling Price
|Market Loan Rate
"In this scenario, the counter-cyclical payment would be the maximum $104 per ton. Peanut revenue in this case, since you sold at the effective price, is the selling price of $355 plus $36 plus $104 or $495. This is only if you sold at the effective price, and there's no guarantee that'll happen.
"If, on the other hand, you sold your crop for $400 per ton, you'd still get a counter-cyclical payment of $104 and your peanut revenue would be $540 per ton."
It's very important, says Lamb, that growers pay more attention to marketing peanuts under the new farm bill. "Be keenly aware of what you're signing whenever you sign a contract and know how it might affect you."

Seven Layers
or spin a basketball
on a upright finger
the mind splinters
and hair grays
I'm a near genius
heart blackens with dots,
and blocked from the path of righteousness
with the gates of wealth flung open
fast forward,
in a black rectangle shaped box
again, heart sealed with sin
and veins soaked in gin
even in death
what will you say when on Judgement Day?

DALLAS — A crime-watch volunteer suspected of raping four women in a Dallas neighborhood where as many as nine women may have been attacked by the same man this summer was arrested Tuesday in a Louisiana motel, police said.
Van Dralan Dixson, 38, was arrested in Baton Rouge, La., two days after his car was found abandoned more than 400 miles away in a Dallas suburb, Dallas Police Maj. Jeff Cotner said.
Police said DNA evidence has so far linked Dixson to four sexual assaults in Dallas' Fair Park neighborhood, where investigators believe one man committed as many as nine sexual assaults since June. The assailant in each case was armed with a handgun, forced his victims to secluded areas and then robbed and sexually assaulted them, according to police.
Dixson was charged with rape in the early 1990s, before he spent more than a decade in prison for a robbery conviction, but that charge was dropped after his accuser was killed by a lightning strike. The prosecutor in that case said the alleged victim reported being held at gunpoint.
Cotner released few details about Dixson's arrest on Tuesday, saying only that "contacts" between Dixson and individuals in Dallas helped track him to the motel. Cotner said more information would be released Wednesday.
Dixson is jailed in Louisiana awaiting his return to Texas, Cotner said. The clerk at the jail said Dixson had not been booked as of Tuesday evening, and no information about a possible attorney was available.
Dixson was questioned by police last week and voluntarily submitted a saliva swab for DNA evidence after a tipster identified him as a person of interest. But investigators didn't have enough evidence to hold him at the time, Cotner has said.
Dixson was charged Saturday in one of the attacks, but police found his abandoned car on Sunday.
Arrest warrants charge Dixson with four counts of aggravated sexual assault. DNA test results from two other attacks were pending, while DNA evidence from three more in the inner-city neighborhood were not available, police said.
One of the victims told police her assailant shooed away her two children before attacking her at gunpoint, according to a police affidavit obtained Tuesday by The Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV.
The woman said a masked man approached her, brandished a handgun and demanded money while she was walking with her children in Fair Park on Aug. 30. When she fumbled with her shirt looking for money, the woman said, the man told her children to leave, and then raped her in a nearby alley.
Neighbors in the area said they were familiar with Dixson as a crime-watch volunteer, and that he would patrol the streets several times a week.
"He just walks every night, all night," one resident, Billy Washington, told Dallas television station WFAA earlier this week. "Every time I would look out my window, or out my door, he was walking."
Dixson has been part of the area's neighborhood crime-watch group, the Mill City Community Association, since January. The group's president, Alendra Lyons, called his arrest a "relief to the community."
"A lot of people have been fearful, of course," Lyons said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. "They've been afraid."
Lyons said she wasn't aware of Dixson's criminal past and that the incident had spurred her group to look into whether it could afford background checks on new volunteers, so "at least we would be aware of what they have dealt with in the past."
Dixson was arrested as recently as last month on a deadly conduct charge, according to Dallas County records. State criminal records show Dixson was convicted of aggravated robbery in 1993. He served more than 10 years in prison, a state prisons spokeswoman said.
Dixson was also accused at that time of rape. The prosecutor in that case, Colleen Skinner, told the AP on Tuesday that she remembered the case because of its unique circumstances, including that the accuser was killed by a lightning strike and had told investigators she was held at gunpoint during the attack.
But the case couldn't be prosecuted without the victim's testimony, Skinner said.
"My hands were tied," she said. "Even if the rape kit had shown he was the perpetrator, I would need a witness to tell the jury that it wasn't consensual. I would need a witness to tell me, 'He forced me.'"
A $15,000 reward has been offered for information leading to arrests and an indictment in the recent cases.

Oct. 15 Ryan Theriot and Ryan Vogelsong postgame interview
Q. Ryan, you looked like you were hurt ‑‑ you became incredibly efficient, you had two ten‑pitch innings. Do you know what turned it around for you?
Q. Ryan, you looked like you were hurt ‑‑ you became incredibly efficient, you had two ten‑pitch innings. Do you know what turned it around for you?
RYAN VOGELSONG: I think it was the third inning when Beltran hit the lead‑off double, and I was in a stretch. Something clicked mechanically. And I mean, that's really all I can tell you. I just ‑‑ I threw a pitch and it was like, that's it, right there, that's how I want to feel. And I was just able to kind of run with that feeling at that point and just keep it going.
Q. Ryan V, you were throwing a variety of pitches. It looked like you used any number of them for strikes on any given batter. Was there one or two that you felt was your fallback pitch?
RYAN VOGELSONG: I just kept trying to mix it up, to be honest with you. They're obviously a strong enough offensive team. Their numbers speak for themselves. I just really tried to just keep mixing it up. And depending on the hitter, the situation, just tried to bounce the ball around the zone like I normally do.
Q. Ryan, I know you've spoken a little bit about how grateful you are to be in this position after all that you've been through. Talk a little bit about how it's helping to be a little bit older having been through the wars, so you're a little calmer in the eye of the storm, so to speak, in a big game like this?
RYAN VOGELSONG: Well, experience helps. I've obviously been through a lot. And that definitely helps. I think I read a couple of quotes from other guys saying you don't get this chance too often. And obviously this is my first time having it. And I'm just trying to make the most of it and stay mentally focused on every pitch until I'm out of the game.
And whether that's come from the things that I've been through in the past, probably, but just trying to soak it all in and have fun and get the job done.
Q. Ryan, considering the magnitude of the game itself and the way you were locating, was this as good an effort in your career with the spotlight on?
RYAN VOGELSONG: Yep, it was, for sure. It's the best I've probably thrown the ball in a Big League game after the third inning, for sure. And like I said, one thing clicked in the middle of that third inning, and I was just able to sustain it and run with it.
Q. Ryan, I know it's been tough to have to sit while Marco has been playing so well. Now that he's hurt you may get in there for a few games. You have some mixed feelings about this, because you don't want to be sitting. And talk about playing your former team.
RYAN THERIOT: First of all, we don't know the extent of Marco. We keep our fingers crossed and hopefully he'll be back in there. He's had a great season. I think first and foremost you want to win the ballgame. And so put the best team out there that we can.
It's tough to sit and watch, to be honest with you. But when the team is winning, you want to stay ready and any opportunity you get to go in there and produce or do something to help the team win. Normally in my spot it's a late inning at‑bat, so those are always big situations that us as competitors relish. That part of it is kind of fun.
And then playing the Cardinals, I guess, lastly, it's like déjà vu, seeing this again. It happened last year, we were fortunate enough to win the World Series. But, yeah, it's fun. I play for the Giants now, and I love San Francisco, and let's go.
Q. Ryan T, even after sitting, you came in and had a pretty big hit. How were you feeling coming in?
RYAN THERIOT: Same way I've been feeling here for a while. You just stay prepared as much as you can. You take batting practice and ground balls a little more seriously when you're not playing every day. And that's the time where you've got to stay sharp. So that's what I try to do. During the game just stay loose and stay ready. This is kind of a different role than I'm used to, but it's fun.
Q. Both of you, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask about the slide. Your manager thought it was late and should have been illegal. What are both of your thoughts on it?
RYAN THERIOT: I have to look at it a little bit more. I'm not sure exactly what the rule is. I know as an infielder you want to make sure that the guy can touch the base and they slide before the base. So knowing that, I'm going to have to go back and kind of take a look and see if either one of those things happened.
I think Marco is extremely fortunate that it wasn't just an immediate injury that we had to really worry about. It looked pretty bad. Like I said, I'm going to have to go take a look and see.
RYAN VOGELSONG: I haven't seen it yet, either, so I'm going to have to look at it. Obviously he would know more about that situation than me.
Q. How often does that kind of play happen during the course of the season, there are collisions, but where somebody plows into another guy?
RYAN THERIOT: It's playoff baseball. Guys are going out giving 150 percent. Yeah, it does happen. I mean, I've been crushed numerous times. I'm going to have to go take a look at it.
Q. You guys got a lead tonight, Ryan V. What's it like, how effective are you when you get a chance to pitch with a lead?
RYAN VOGELSONG: I try not to change, and that's strictly honest. I try not to change. I try to pitch like it's 1‑0 or 0‑0 at all times. I try not to worry about the scoreboard. Obviously certain counts, certain situations you might try and get more to the plate on a pitch when you have a lead. But I try and pitch like it's 0‑0 all the time until I'm done.
Q. A question for both of you, after Marco got hit, did that fire up the team?
RYAN THERIOT: I don't think it was ‑‑ I don't think we needed that to happen in order for us to get going. You always hate to see one of your guys get hit. So I mean, maybe a little bit. But it wasn't like it was necessary.
RYAN VOGELSONG: Well, from my standpoint I felt like I really needed to make a pitch to the next guy to get him off the field, just so they could take a better look at him and maybe get some more honest answers. Because you know when we're out there, he's not coming out of the game, whether he's really hurt or not. So from my standpoint I just really was trying to make the next pitch to get the guy out so we could get him in the dugout.
Q. Ryan V, you're the first pitcher to last 7 innings postseason. How does it feel to set the momentum going into St. Louis?
RYAN VOGELSONG: Our staff is pretty good. We've obviously had some rough outings here to start this postseason. But guys are still throwing the ball well. It was something that I really didn't think about going into the game because there's enough pressure and thoughts going through your mind other than thinking about trying to make it past the 6th inning. It's something you really don't need to add to your plate.
But it feels good. You can start a trend with something like this. So hopefully this starts a trend of our starters starting to pitch better and get deeper in games.
Q. You said that something clicked in the third inning. Do you know what it was? And also I don't see you on the podium very often, but it seems like you're still in the zone, reliving the game.
RYAN VOGELSONG: Honestly, I'm really tired. I've said this before, when you come out of a game, if you're tired, it means you know your mind was working and you were really concentrating. So that's why I'm like this now. I'm pretty worn down at this point mentally, just from trying to stay locked in. It was just something mechanical. It happens for me from time to time.
It happens the other way, too, I'll throw a pitch and be all over the place mechanically, and it throws you out of whack for a couple of minutes. I threw a pitch and it felt right. It felt good. And I was able to keep repeating that after that.
Q. Ryan Vogelsong, your double was the first extra base hit by a Giants pitcher since 1924 in the postseason. Any thoughts about that?
RYAN VOGELSONG: All you've got to do is look at my batting average for the season and know that it was probably more luck than skill. He threw it in my swing path, I think, that's all I can say about that. But it's pretty cool to get into the record books there.
Q. Since we can't ask Marco, can you guys tell us whether or not he said anything in the dugout as to how he felt about the slide?
RYAN THERIOT: I didn't hear anything.
RYAN VOGELSONG: I don't talk when I'm pitching to anyone, other than probably Buster, a couple of sentences about what's going on in the game. But I don't talk to anybody, period, until the game's over. I don't know anything, either.
Q. Ryan, how much do you value a quality start, the manager was talking about the importance of somebody finally doing it. But I imagine your goal is to go deeper than 6 innings?
RYAN VOGELSONG: Honestly, at this point in time I think it's just about winning games. Obviously it makes it a little bit easier when you have a starter go out there and go deep in the game and you give up three or less runs. On a given night it makes it easier. But at this point in time I think it's just about winning games. I honestly went into tonight with the idea of as hard as I can as long as I can and see what happens.
Q. One last thought for Ryan Theriot, talk about going back to St. Louis. That ballpark, those fans, and now being in a position you guys had pretty good success in that ballpark, winning two out of four. What's the feeling like going back to St. Louis, and talk about that atmosphere back there?
RYAN THERIOT: It's a great atmosphere, great baseball town. The fans show up just like they do here. They understand the game. So, yeah, it's going to be an intense series. I would imagine the atmosphere is going to be very similar to what it was here. Something that both teams feed off of. That energy is always good. So, yeah, it's going to be similar. These fans are the same way. They're here every day.

WACO, Texas – Make room for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons on the national stage.
The polls won't come out until Monday, but the Lady Bisons should be getting some level of national attention.
"We came into this weekend knowing it was going to be a really good test," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "We knew it was going to give us a feel of where we belong on a national stage. We come away thinking we should be on a national stage. We made a loud statement. That is what we wanted to do.
"We have beaten some really good quality teams. We don't want to act like we have arrived. We want to keep getting better every single time out. Talk about getting one percent better every day. We got clutch hits and clutch plays defensively when we needed them."
It was truly a team victory for the Lady Bisons as they closed out the Getterman Classic Sunday morning with an 8-6 win over UAB in eight innings. Six different players recorded hits and three pitchers went to the mound for the Lady Bisons.
The game was tied 5-5 after seven innings. The game lasted 3:13.
"Early on you could tell it was going to be a long game," Ryman said. "Both pitchers were working deep into counts. Both teams had to make pitching changes.
"It was a back and forth game. Both teams had runners on base each inning. It was definitely an emotional game. We came in on a high and did what we have been doing. Our girls punched back against a really good team. That's what we wanted to see."
In the eighth with the tie breaker runner on second base, Gracey Aguirre hit a two-run homer over the left field fence. Haley Elliott followed with a single. Rena' Cothron doubled and Brianne Welch walked. Paige Neely brought in Elliott with a single to first base.
UAB managed one more run in the bottom of the eighth, but could not do any more. Tanner Sanders, the third pitcher for Lipscomb in the game, picked up the win. It is her fifth in as many appearances.
With the win the Lady Bisons are 8-1, the best start through the first nine games since 2010. UAB dropped to 3-6.
"We are very excited with our start," Ryman said. "The girls have worked hard for this. They have put themselves in a position to be here. They are working on the details working on the extras on their own.
"It is all starting to pay off. We are executing in the moment. We are able to stay in the moment. We don't let one rough inning or a couple of runs that we give up dictate the entire game."
The Lady Bisons broke a 0-0 tie in the third when Brianne Welch led off the inning with a double. She scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Paige Neely.
In the fourth the Lady Bisons added two more runs. Rena' Cothron's RBI-double to left field was the big hit of the inning.
After allowing UAB to score a plate of runs in the fourth, the Lady Bisons quickly responded in the fifth. Neely reached base on a single but was out on a fielder's choice by Kelsey Cartwright. A home run by Kristen Sturdivant to left field drove in Kelsey Cartwright for a 5-2 lead.
Ashley Anderson started the game for the Purple and Gold, but was relieved by Heather Parker in the fourth. Parker was able to get the Lady Bisons out of a bases loaded jam.
In the fifth Parker struggled with two walks. She then gave up a three-run homer to UAB's Kristen McGrath to tie the game. Sanders relieved and closed out the inning without allowing a run.
Anderson gave up two hits and two runs, both earned, in 3.1 innings. She struck out four and walked two. Parker allowed three hits and three runs, all earned, in 1.1 innings. She walked two and struck out two. Sanders hurled 3.1 innings, scattering four hits and allowing one unearned run. She struck out one.
The Lady Bisons finished with nine hits, with five of them coming from the last three slots in the batting order.
"It is interesting because we don't have top to bottom a lineup where everyone is going to be hitting .300 or higher," Ryman said. "But they are finding ways to do the little things."
In the UAB game, Neely, the No. 2 hitter finished with two hits and two runs batted in. Cothron and Welch each finished with two hits. Cothron connected for two doubles. Cothron bats eighth and Welch bats ninth.
Cothron is batting .333 and Welch is hitting .318. They join Neely, with a .500 average, as the only Lady Bisons hitting about above .300. Aguirre is close at .296.
"Rena' is off to a really great start," Ryman said. "She is getting quality at bats. She draws a lot of walks. She has great eye at the plate.
"She battles with each at bat. She is one of our best two-strike hitters. She brings a lot to the table. She is a tough out."
Welch is in the lineup on a regular basis for her first time with the Lady Bisons.
"Brianne is taking advantage of the opportunity," Ryman said. "She is somebody we talked a lot with in the offseason about limiting strikeouts. She is doing that.
"She is another one who is battling at the plate. She is learning with every at bat. She is going to find ways to make things happen. She worked so incredibly hard in the offseason. She has really attacked her weaknesses and has found ways to get better."
Neely, Welch and Sanders were named to the all-tournament team.
The Lady Bisons are back on the road Friday for the Blues City Classic in Southaven, Miss. The University of Memphis is the host team.

eWeek reviews Opera 9, and is full of praise: "It's a good bet that if you want to see the features that other Web browsers will be adding in a year or two, you should download Opera 9, which was released on June 20. The free Opera 9 is available in Windows, Linux, Solaris, BSD and Mac OS X versions. In our tests, we found Opera 9 to be one of the best Web browsing tools we've used in a long time, which is why we are giving Opera 9 an eWEEK Labs Analyst's Choice award." They have a set of screenshots as well.

John David Podesta (born January 8, 1949) was the fourth and final White House Chief of Staff under President Bill Clinton from 1998 until 2001. He is currently President of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington, D.C, and is also a Visiting Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center. Podesta was co-chairman of the Obama-Biden Transition Project.
Podesta spent most of his early years in Chicago growing up in the neighborhood of Jefferson Park on the city's Northwest Side. His father was Italian-American and his mother Greek-American. In 1967, he graduated from Lane Technical High School located in Chicago. In 1971, Podesta graduated from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. He attended and graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1976. Podesta worked as a trial attorney in the Department of Justice's Honors Program in the Land and Natural Resources Division (1976–1977), and as a Special Assistant to the Director of ACTION, the federal volunteer agency, (1978–1979).
On June 6, 1998, during his Knox College commencement address, Mr. Podesta spoke of his family's early life: "Let me close with a couple of thoughts. Permit me what my kids would refer to as an ethnic moment. One month ago I stood on the White House lawn, and I watched as President Clinton, the man I'm proud to work for, greeted the Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi. It caused me to think about my grandparents, who came to America from Italy at the turn of the century and struggled their whole lives, never attending school, living in a walkup tenement in downtown Chicago. My grandfather working as a stevedore. And I thought about my father who had to quit high school after one year to support his family, who worked in factories his whole life, but who kept pushing my brother and myself to get a good education. I realized that I couldn't have been on that lawn without the support—quite literally the scholarship and financial support, but as importantly, the educational and emotional support that Knox College gave me."
