Supreme Court of Arkansas
September 14, 2017
KEVIN LEE REED APPELLANTv.STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE
D. Watson, Attorney at Law PLLC, by: Brett D. Watson, for
Rutledge, Att'y Gen., by: Pamela Rumpz, Ass't
Att'y Gen., for Appellee.
Reed was convicted of rape and second-degree sexual assault
after a trial in the Benton County Circuit Court. He received
a total, consecutive sentence of life plus twenty years. On
appeal, Reed argues that his convictions should be overturned
because the trial court denied him the right to represent
himself at trial in violation of his constitutional rights.
Because we agree with the trial court that Reed's attempt
to waive his right to counsel and represent himself was
equivocal, we affirm.
United States Supreme Court held in Faretta v.
California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975), that the right to
self-representation for criminal defendants is
"necessarily implied by the structure of the [Sixth]
Amendment" to the United States Constitution.
Faretta, 422 U.S. at 819. There is an inherent
tension, however, between the Supreme Court's command
that criminal defendants receive effective counsel and
permitting those same defendants to handle their own
defenses, virtually always without relevant expertise and
sometimes with literal life-and-death stakes. Acknowledging
this tension, the Court elaborated that defendants invoking
the right to self-representation must "knowingly and
intelligently forgo" the right to counsel after having
been made aware of the "dangers and disadvantages of
self-representation." Faretta, 422 U.S. at 835.
This court has addressed similar concerns by requiring that
(1) the request to waive counsel must be unequivocal and
timely asserted, (2) the waiver must be knowing and
intelligent, and (3) the defendant must not have engaged in
conduct that would prevent the fair and orderly exposition of
the issues. See, e.g., Pierce v. State, 362
Ark. 491, 498, 209 S.W.3d 364, 368 (2005).
In this
case, Reed initially requested to waive his right to counsel
and represent himself at a pretrial hearing. The trial court
then began providing the necessary disclosures about the
"dangers and disadvantages" of self-representation.
Reed and the court then engaged in an extended back-and-forth
about the preparation and review of evidence for his trial.
After this discussion, Reed again said that he wished to
represent himself. This request, however, was commingled with
his evident concern that the trial should be delayed, a
request the court repeatedly stated would not be granted.
Consideration of Reed's request for self-representation
then picked up the next morning, the day of the trial. Reed
renewed his request at the outset of this discussion. After
the court reiterated that the trial would not be delayed and
that Reed would have to conduct voir dire and his defense
that very day, however, Reed said that he was "trying to
do what I believe is right, and I don't know." More
directly, he then said, "I'm debating whether to
represent myself or let [my current counsel] represent
me." Reed repeated that he did not know what he wanted
to do at that point, and in response to a proposed compromise
by the trial court in which Reed's current counsel would
serve as "a whispering attorney, " Reed confirmed
that he was not sure. After Reed's multiple instances of
uncertainty while being told of the consequences of
self-representation, the trial court ruled that Reed's
invocation was equivocal, and the trial proceeded with
Reed's original counsel.
precedents have made clear that a defendant's statements
must be viewed in their entirety to judge whether an attempt
to waive counsel and self-represent is sufficiently
unequivocal. In Mayo v. State, 336 Ark. 275, 984
S.W.2d 801 (1999), for instance, the defendant stated,
"I'll just represent myself. I don't want a
lawyer." Mayo, 336 Ark. at 281, 984 S.W.2d at
805. After a review of the likely motives for the
defendant's request, however, we upheld the trial
court's decision not to grant the defendant's request
despite a facially unequivocal statement. As we have said,
"[e]very reasonable presumption must be indulged against
the waiver of fundamental constitutional rights."
Pierce, 362 Ark. at 498, 209 S.W.3d at 368.
Reed's statements in this case presented an inconsistent
picture to the court of his commitment to the idea of
self-representation. The trial court discounted Reed's
earlier, more assured statements after further discussion
indicated that Reed harbored doubts about representing
himself. This is exactly the sort of holistic review in which
a court must engage when a defendant's decision to invoke
one right imperils another.
We hold
that the trial court correctly held that Reed's attempts
to waive his right to counsel and represent himself were
required by Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(i) (2017), the record has
been examined for ...

12 Comments on "A Fear of Flying"
August 4, 2011 at 9:00 am
Thank you for your testimony. I began having this tremendous fear of flying after I had my daughter. On the last flight I took I got sick three times before boarding the plane. Now we are taking our daughter to Disney World in September and we booked our flight on Tuesday. I have been a mess ever since. Please pray for me and our trip. Thank you again.
October 5, 2011 at 7:01 pm
[…] I came across a website the other day which really inspired me. What caught my attention was the well-written, personal story, of a man who knew what it meant to conquer his own fear. This particular site has been designed by a married couple who just "wanted to start a blog together to share with each other and the world their faith". It features a number of good articles, and one in particular which I wanted to bring to your attention. If you are struggling with a fear of flying, I would highly recommend that you read the article featured in Fruitfulness. […]

It is truly a great and helpful piece of information. I am satisfied that you just shared this useful information with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
December 16, 2013 at 12:35 pm
I cannot thank you enough for this post. My flight to Philadelphia is in three days and I almost "chickened out". I KNOW that I will be nervous and I might have a panic attack on the plane but what I do know is that there is an anointing on the other side. My God knows that the thought of getting on a plane is my biggest fear and I'm sure that He will reveal Himself to me during this time. I cannot wait to tell my testimony about how I overcame my fear. Please pray for me as I face it on this Thursday. Be blessed! 🙂

How funny that I found this page. I am a mother of 3 and I have never left my children for any length of time. I have had anxiety many times in my life and each time I was able to overcome it with the help of our Savior. I never used to have a fear of flying but I have not flown since I was 27..I'm 33 now and I am going to Hawaii with my sister to see an old friend. I am terrified that the plane will crash, I'm also terrified of tsunamis, I'm afraid one or the other may happen.
I too have watched several plane crash and tsunami videos which I think have prompted this fear. I am also going without my kids and this is another fear. I am just afraid that if something happens to me, they won't be raised in a Christian home. My Husband is a new Christian but his family are athiests. I know this sounds irrational but it is terrifying to think that if I wasn't around that my kids may be influenced heavily by my Husbands athiest family members and because my Husband tends to be easily persuaded by them, I fear he may abandon everything if I died. I know my one job is to raise up my children the way God wants and in todays world, the temptations for kids is terrible.
I really need help to get over this fear because it has controlled far too much of my life. I need to know God is in control, and if he wants to take me that is up to him but it won't take a plane to do it lol. I am just tired of fear running my life. I have been praying a lot about this and each day it gets better. This trip to Hawaii will be a huge test of faith for me. I know it seems irrational but I will be facing many fears. I will take your advice and place my trust in Christ. I know that with God all things are possible. I think this could be a changing moment, please pray for me nd thank you for posting exactly what I needed to read. I was led to the right place 😉
March 5, 2014 at 12:36 pm
I am late responding but I have to say that I felt a peace that can't be described once I got on the plane. I cried, cried, & CRIED some more and even tried to run away from my fiancé once I got to the airport. He remained calm the entire time and helped me get on the plane. Once I sat down in my seat and said a prayer, I started feeling very relaxed. Long story short, once I got in the air, I realized more than ever that God is real! The one thing that I said I would NEVER do for years, I did it! Anyone who knows me, knows that flying was my biggest fear and I faced it on 12/19/13! I kept repeating Psalm 34:4 while I was on the plane.
Trust God to help you face your fears… Whether it's flying, being alone, dying, etc., he has the POWER to remove that fear. Remember, God didn't give you a spirit of fear, but of love, peace, and a sound mind. Be blessed.

Litvinenko death suspect may not testify at inquiry
LONDON (AP) — A lawyer says one of the prime suspects in the killing of Alexander Litvinenko may not testify as planned next week at an inquiry into the former Russian spy's death.
Counsel to the inquiry Robin Tam said Friday that Dmitry Kovtun claimed he was bound by obligations of confidentiality to an ongoing Russian investigation. Kovtun was due to testify Monday by video link from Russia to the British inquiry, headed by judge Robert Owen.
Litvinenko, a former KGB officer, died in London in 2006 after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium. On his deathbed, Litvinenko accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of ordering his assassination.
British police have accused Kovtun and another Russian man, Andrei Lugovoi. Both deny involvement.
Owen gave Kovtun until noon Monday to decide whether to participate.

Experts: How law enforcement shone a light on darknets
Law enforcement agencies across the world are lauding their recent raids on the fortress-like Tor network as a breakthrough in tackling so-called 'darknets.' With the hidden web still cloaked in secrecy, however, there are multiple theories about how the authorities broke into the super-secure Tor network.
Last week a top Europol official said that 17 people had been arrested in an international crackdown on underground Tor-based websites selling illegal drugs. Raids were coordinated in more than a dozen countries, including the U.S., where the FBI announced the arrest of a man accused of running the Silk Road 2.0 online drug bazaar.
Darknets run on the Tor network, which anonymizes traffic by sending it through a series of encrypted connections, or relays, around the world. Tor, which stands for 'The onion router,' started out as a military project, but now functions largely as a highly clandestine civilian network.
Theories abound as to how the authorities cracked the darknets.
"There's a lot of speculation - nobody really knows the answer," Matthew Green, assistant research professor in the department of computer science at Johns Hopkins University, told FoxNews.com.
Green, however, noted that a number of the sites targeted were hosted in a Bulgarian data center. "One possibility is that, for those sites, the FBI or Europol got warrants and went through the servers at that [physical] site," he said. "Another possibility is that investigators may have hacked into computers or, at the far end of the spectrum, they had some sort of sophisticated attack against Tor."
Europol said that more than 410 "hidden services" on the Tor network were shut down as a result of its 'Operation Onymous.' In addition, Bitcoins worth approximately $1 million were seized as part of the operation, as well as almost $225,000 in cash, drugs, gold, and silver.
In a blog post on Sunday, the Tor project acknowledged that it was caught off guard by the sting. "We were as surprised as most of you," it said, adding that the project has little information on how law enforcement took control of the hidden services.
"Over the last few days, we received and read reports saying that several Tor relays were seized by government officials," said the Tor project. "We do not know why the systems were seized, nor do we know anything about the methods of investigation that were used."
Pierluigi Paganini, author of the book "The Deep Dark Web" and founder of the Security Affairs blog, thinks that law enforcement adopted a two-pronged approach to tackle the darknets.
"It's my opinion that the Operation Onymous was supported by an intense activity of intelligence and also a hacking campaign that targeted the hidden services used by the criminal gangs for the illicit activities," he told FoxNews.com, in an email, noting that investigators have coordinated their efforts for a long time.
While the FBI declined to discuss specifics of its probe when contacted by FoxNews.com, some details of its Silk Road 2.0 investigation have emerged. In a statement released last week, the agency said that a Homeland Security investigator infiltrated the support staff involved in the administration of Silk Road 2.0, gaining access to private, restricted parts of the site.
"Although we do not comment on investigative techniques, the FBI continues to aggressively investigate, disrupt, and dismantle criminal elements that pose a threat in cyberspace," said an FBI spokesman, in a statement emailed to FoxNews.com.
As for the broader attempts to crack the Tor network, Paganini thinks that investigators probed for any weaknesses they could find.
"I think that it is possible that the police also exploited security flaws within the Tor network and in any application used to browse the anonymizing networks," he said. "Tor network, exactly like any other software, is affected by bugs that could be exploited by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to de-anonymize users."
The expert also deems it plausible that a zero-day attack was used to track Tor users and identify their locations, with the support of local Internet Service Providers. A zero day attack exploits a previously unknown vulnerability in a system.
In its blog post, the Tor project cited a number of ways that services may have been compromised. These include inadequate operational security, which could have opened the door to undercover agents, and 'bitcoin denanonymization,' which may have linked transactions in the virtual currency to specific places.
Other possible scenarios include exploitation of common web bugs and denial of service attacks on Tor network relays.
Darknets are just one part of what is known as the deep web - a vast network which is not indexed by search engines such as Google and Bing. While most of the deep web is not mired in criminality - resources such as academic databases and libraries are said to make up much of its content - darknets typically run on the Tor network.
The Tor Metrics web site says that the network has just over 2.25 million users.
Europol declined to comment on this story when contacted by FoxNews.com.

Are the Home & Visiting Teaching Programs Failures? Candid &/or Anonymous Answers Requested
"People" don't do home & visiting teaching...do they?
Individual saints do, Jane and John Doe Saints around the world.
So, why...why...why...don't Jane and John just DO IT!?!?!?!?!
If individual's aren't doing it...doesn't that make the program a failure. Given currently membership retention rates...it certainly seems like it.
Here is my answer. Will you please provide yours? Anonymously or not, Please answer. My only requirement is that you don't parrot the Ensign on the importance of home teaching.
1. Lyle Stamps: [Start excuse] I'm quasi-exempt, because my ward hasn't assigned me yet. However, this doesn't excuse me from getting to know and visiting people on my own initiative. [End excuse]. Except while at BYU, where I had more than 100% home teaching (at least two visits a month w/assigned companions), I generally have had to do home teaching on my own. I suspect that I'm either a hard person to get along with and/or don't like to coordinate with others and tend to do visit people (in general) on short notice, w/o alot of planning. So, my solution is probably to learn to love my HT companion first and show more respect for those that are allowing me into their home to visit them.
If I was answering for others, I suspect [please disabuse me of this notion], that most individual Saints harbor a deep dislike for the program and find that it is largely useless. Hence, they don't do it because they don't believe in in. I'm not sure I believe in it either...I just do it...kinda.

Kent Peterson, senior editor, has also produced award-winning work in television and radio.
Even with life-saving diabetes medicines, there can be too much of a good thing.
If more insulin ends up in the bloodstream than your body needs, blood sugar levels can plummet. This condition, called hypoglycemia, could be dangerous or even deadly. New research suggests that people with diabetes who take insulin may have fewer hypoglycemic episodes if they use insulin degludec.
How insulin helps
A healthy body makes its own insulin to keep blood sugar levels stable. People with diabetes can't make enough insulin or can't use it properly. That's where prescription insulin comes in. Long-acting insulin (also called basal or background insulin) works throughout the day to meet the body's constant needs, while short-acting insulin is taken with meals to prevent food from causing blood glucose levels to spike.
Every day, most people with type 1 diabetes use some combination of long- and short-acting insulin. Most people with type 2 diabetes will eventually need insulin too.
Different studies, similar results
Two separate double-blind studies, dubbed SWITCH 1 and SWITCH 2, set out to compare two long-acting insulins: insulin degludec, sold under the name brand Tresiba, and insulin glargine, sold as Basaglar, Lantus, and Toujeo. SWITCH 1 studied adults with type 1 diabetes, who were given one of the insulins every day for 32 weeks then switched to the other for 32 weeks. SWITCH 2 did the same with individuals who have type 2 diabetes. In all, about 1,200 people took part.
Both studies tallied three results:
- The total number of hypoglycemia episodes that either dropped blood glucose levels below 56 mg/dL or caused symptoms requiring attention
- The number of episodes that occurred overnight
- How many episodes were considered severe
In SWITCH 1, type 1 insulin degludec users had rate reductions of 11 percent, 36 percent, and 35 percent respectively, compared with insulin glargine users. Results were even more impressive in the SWITCH 2 trial, with corresponding reductions of 30, 42, and 51 percent in people with type 2 diabetes. Insulin degludec outperformed the competition.
Every study has limits
Even well-constructed trials like the SWITCH studies have limitations you should consider. Among them in this case:
- A common daily insulin dose called U-100 was used; study results may not apply to other dosages.
- About 20 percent of study participants dropped out—a fairly high figure.
- Both studies were paid for by Novo Nordisk, which markets insulin degludec products.
Dealing with your lows
Hypoglycemia is most common in people with type 1 diabetes, but everyone who uses insulin should learn the symptoms and take steps to avoid and treat lows. Talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense to change your basal insulin. If you switch, monitor the results because your body may respond differently than someone else's does to this or any medicine.

Out of the multitude of options available in the business-to-business world for gathering customer insight, surveys are still a valuable tool. Knowing your customers and gathering the right information about them shows that you are already on the journey to increasing customer loyalty. Improved loyalty leads to better retention, more sales opportunities and the nurturing of strong advocates who can tell the world about your company.We create B2B surveys for many of our clients. Based on our experience we would like to share some of our tips for success.
Surveys have an established and clear place in the retail/consumer world for measuring customer satisfaction. In the B2B environment, a survey is often seen only as a simple measure of customer satisfaction. However it can be used for so much more.
Our clients have found that a well implemented survey quickly provides the customer insights they need. With a clear objective, surveys can be used not only as a tool to find out about customer satisfaction but also as a way to assess the strength of your brand and can even be used to gather competitive information.
Designed well, genuine insight from your customers (and perhaps also your stakeholders or your employees), can be gathered and analysed quickly. Surveys can be used to understand and measure:
- Customer satisfaction
- Employee feedback
- Relationships in the supply chain
- How partnerships are working
- Perceptions of end users
- Future requirements
- Improvements or momentum in customer experience
- Feelings and aspirations of members in a membership organisation
Whilst valuable as a stand-alone one-off exercise, surveys can also form part of a regular Voice of the Customer programme or combined with other methods for gathering customer insight such as telephone interviews or face-to-face reviews.
Here are our top tips for running a successful survey:
1. Have a clear purpose
Objectives clearly stated, targets identified, outcomes defined. Good planning is vital.
2. Gain senior management support
No company can truly satisfy its customers unless top management is fully behind the programme. They must be genuinely customer orientated, supportive of initiatives to gather customer insight and seen to be doing so publically.
3. Part of an overall customer insight strategy
To ensure success, a survey must complement other customer data gathering and analysis strategies. It is not simply a number gathering exercise the data should contribute to actions and organisational development.
4. A continuous process
A customer satisfaction index is a snapshot at a point in time. People's views change continuously and the performance of companies in delivering customer satisfaction is also changing. Measuring satisfaction must be a continuous process.
5. Keep it short
Not only short, but as succinct, straightforward and simple as possible. A less arduous survey means increased response rates and better data. Decide if you want users to explain what they mean and give examples - a valuable source of information, but if you ask for too much, maybe a telephone interview would be more appropriate. Slider bars to show progress are invaluable.
6. Test.....and test again
Before going live, test on internal colleagues and also on a small sample of customers if you can. This is invaluable to ensure that the questions can't be misinterpreted and it isn't too long.
7. Clear benefit in completing the survey
Why should someone complete the survey? We have seen that response rates are better if there is a clear benefit to the target for completing the survey. Offer to share the results if appropriate.
8. Good analysis from an impartial source
Make sure, as part of the planning, that enough time and resource has been invested in the analysis and reporting. Headline findings are generally fairly obvious but there can often be some surprising nuggets of information contained within the data.
Bsquared successfully runs surveys for many business-to-business clients. We can offer clear and unambiguous advice on your own projects, no matter how small they are, and on how you could get the maximum benefit from your investment.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Charter Communications' CHTR, -1.67% shares lost more than 6 percent to $3.73 in midday trades, extending a slight drop on Wedenesday. Moody's has assigned a Caa1 rating to the company's proposed offering of $1.7 billion in senior unsecured debt, and raised its rating on debt co-issued by Charter's Renaissance Media units to B3 from Caa1. In comments accompanying the ratings news, Moody's said the latest transactions will "clearly afford the company more time and some added financial flexibility" but it still believes these moves "will fall far short of rectifying the considerable imbalance that has existed and remains between the company's operating and financial profiles." Moody's also confirmed all other existing ratings on Charter's debt, and revised its ratings outlook on the company to 'stable' from 'negative.' Volume climbed above 18.4 million, good for fourth on the Nasdaq's 'most actives' list.

When I got a fem tracker, I realized that if your body is mature enough, the time and regulation of your period is actually related to how you view your period. When I got the app and put in when I got my period for two months prior to that, I got immediately a date for when my next period was. That was about 6 months ago and ever since then it hasn't been even a day off in my case!

Werner Herzog Quotes About VisionQuotes about: Vision
Acting Age Animals Art Books Chaos Character Children Country Creation Culture Curiosity Demons Dreams Earth Feelings Film Filmmaking Finance Giving Hell Hurt Imagination Internet Killing Language Literature Mountain Mythology North Korea Painting Quality Revolution School Sin Soul Survival Today Universe Values Vision Walking Writing
For a moment the feeling crept over me that my work, my vision, is going to destroy me, and for a fleeting moment I let myself take a long, hard look at myself, something I would not otherwise do--out of instinct, on principle, out of self-preservation--look at myself with objective curiosity to see whether my vision has not destroyed me already. I found it comforting to note that I was still breathing.

Personalized Glucose Goals Lowers Medication Costs Considerably
A University of Chicago Medicine cost analysis indicated diabetes treatment plans with individualized blood sugar goals save $13,546 in health care costs over an average life span. Most of the savings are owed to reduced medication costs.
"I think this model will give evidence to physicians that individualized glycemic control is something to consider," said lead study author Neda Laiteerapong, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at UChicago Medicine. "It can help save our health system money, and it's in line with what many patients want."
The ADA and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes published a statement in 2012 recommending individualized goals for diabetes patients. An elderly person with severe diabetes complications, for instance, may not need the same aggressive A1C target as a 40 year old with minimal, or no complications.
For the new Chicago study, investigators used data from 569 over-30 adults with type 2 diabetes in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Factors such as their age, diabetes duration, complication history, and life expectancy were fed into a statistical model that calculated lifetime medical costs.
For each of the adults 2,500 simulations were run for treatment strategies using both personalized A1C values that altered over time, and a standard, uniform A1C goal of less than seven percent. The study outcomes showed an average $13,546 savings per person using individualized plans when compared to the uniform plans.
If you multiply the individual savings times the approximately 17.3 million over-30 U.S. adults with type 2 diabetes, lifetime nationwide savings come to $234 billion.
"The differences in life expectancy and complication rates were very small, but choosing a personalized A1C goal can reduce medications by half per year," said Laiteerapong. "If I told my patients they could take half as many medications but maybe there's a small chance they might live a month less, I'm pretty sure many of them would sign up for it."

"I scanned my eyes furtively over my fellow patients. There was a woman in about her late 40s, with soft, dewy-looking eyes that seemed like they were ubiquitously watery, like she was always on the verge of tears. She was sitting there, looking down and fidgeting with her hands. Mid-life crisis? Anxiety? Depression? Or the latter two as a result of the former, or vice versa? You never can tell, these emotional and psychological things can get quite tricky. At least, I think so. If biological factors get in there too, it gets trickier. You never can tell where the personality ends and the illness, disorder, disease, whatever you wanna call it, begins. That's the real reason why people find mental stuff so scary, I tell you. That's the real reason why they don't understand it, don't want to understand it, or are in denial when someone they love or know begins to crumble underneath the weight of whatever chaotic mess the chemicals in their brains become entangled in. Because when the invisible, phantom illness begins to mesh with the personality, and you can't tell one from the other anymore, people begin to define you by the phantom. The phantom becomes you."

The Global Inferiority Complex: Psychological Remnants of Colonization
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged colonialism, colonization, ethnocentrism, eurocentric, inferiority complex, post-colonialism, Psychology, race, Sociology on June 9, 2011| Leave a Comment »
With the rise of European colonization throughout the world, colonized nations and cultures became part of a process of cultural shifts. Throughout the globe, the colonized nations were left with the remnants of European influence that became intertwined within the fabric of their original culture, whether through language, ideology, mentality, tradition, or faith systems. Despite their desire to retain their culture, colonization nevertheless permeated their psychology: it changed their perception of themselves – they began to perceive their own culture and themselves through the mind of the Europeans: as inferior; whereas they, either subconsciously or blatantly, considered Western culture as the "objective truth," the superior. They came to perceive their integration into white culture as the standard by which they measure their own worth and value. Colonization, therefore, left behind in its wake a global inferiority complex engendered through a historical process of psychological conditioning, one of the subjects of which Frantz Fanon discusses in his Wretched of the Earth.

The pain was intense and unrelenting, no matter how many chiropractors or massage therapists he consulted with. While his running and dance careers were over, his healing career began as Wayne went on to spend the next 20 years developing the stretches and massage techniques that would become his Campbell Flex Method and his Texas Thai Sports Massage offerings.
Wayne is a Certified Bikram Yoga Teacher, Licensed Massage Therapist, and owns Texas Thai Sports Massage where he combines Thai Massage with Sports Massage and Myofascial Release.

Blazers seek improvement, host Jazz
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Portland Trail Blazers will try to get back on track Tuesday night when they return to the northwest to face the Utah Jazz at the Moda Center.
The Blazers have dropped three in a row and eight of their last 10. Portland has fallen into a virtual tie for fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
The Trail Blazers completed an 0-3 road trip with a 95-88 loss on Saturday to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Wesley Matthews and Damian Lillard each scored 19 points apiece for Portland. LaMarcus Aldridge added a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, but no other Blazers player scored in double figures.
"They kind of set the tone with their defense from the start," Blazers head coach Terry Stotts said. "We were playing from behind most of the night."
The Bucks took a 76-65 lead into the final quarter, but Milwaukee padded the cushion. O.J. Mayo opened the fourth with a layup and a 3-pointer to increase Milwaukee's lead to 16 points. Jerryd Bayless and Jared Dudley each hit triples and jumpers during a 10-2 run to make it a 91-71 contest with 7:16 to play.
The Bucks led comfortably the rest of the way.
The Blazers host the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, then visit the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets over the weekend.
The Jazz put the brakes on a two-game losing streak last time out in a pretty shocking manner. Utah knocked off the Golden State Warriors, 110-100, at home on Friday night.
Gordon Hayward's career game led the way for the Jazz. He finished with 26 in this one to go along with a career-high 15 rebounds and six assists. The Jazz improved to 12-10 on the season when Hayward scores at least 20 points, compared to 5-20 when he nets 19 or fewer.
"We all just came ready to play," said Hayward. "We were all extremely focused."
Utah also got a boost from its reserves, who had just eight fewer points between them than the starters. Trevor Booker scored 17 points, Trey Burke had 15 with seven assists and Rudy Gobert had 10 points and 10 boards for his sixth double-double in January. The young 7-footer had just two double-doubles in his career before this month.
Derrick Favors added 15 points, while Joe Ingles chipped in 10. Enes Kanter grabbed 10 rebounds.
This is the first meeting of the season between the Northwest Division rivals. The Trail Blazers swept last season's four games and the two teams split the last six games in Portland.

I agree with kaismama. The husband and the wife should both be on the
same medication at the same time. No sex, until medication and symptoms
are gone. Both husband and wife should see the doctor at the same time;
tell doctor all the symptoms you both have.
Good luck . . . this happened to my husband and I many, many years ago
and the doctor put us both on the same pill - sorry, but I don't recall what
the medication was, but your doctor should put you both on something
at same time. He can also perform a test to see if it yeast infection or
something else.
God bless.
Well we've actually both recently were tested for stds & were both good.. & we both seen a doctor just not at the same time & were both diagnosed with a yeast infection thats why am so worried becuz its been going on for a while now:(
Yeast infections can take a long time, depending on how bad they are,
give it some time and check back with your doctor whether you are improving
or not. I am glad that you and your husband have ruled out std and that the
diagnosis is yeast infection. With you both being treated, and NO sex, you
should be on your way to getting well.
Good luck and God bless.
Well i sure hope it goes away... Sooner than later & yes we've definitely been avoiding sex.. Thank u trish for your advice

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Real Estate Law and other Legal topics.
Real estate property and housing is generally termed as land and the structures and resources permanently attached to it. Things deemed "permanently attached" may be also referred to as improvements, including homes, garages, barns and buildings.. Resources may include things such as gas, oil and minerals.
Typically, once you own real property, improvements may be made to it as well that would qualify as a structure permanently attached, although various federal, state, city, county and even local community regulations exist that can restrict the type of improvement that is made to the real property.
The three most common restrictions imposed by governmental bodies are zoning, or what the land may be used for. These uses might include
1. residential
2. industrial
3. agricultural or commercial.
Environmental hazards also could be a factor in determining what improvements or uses of the real property there might be. Storing hazardous materials on the property will be government-regulated.
The final restriction would be public right-of-way, or a portion of your real estate that has to be left open for others to use, such as a sidewalk or utility easement. Be sure to follow these restrictions and regulations carefully to avoid any fines, penalties or even criminal prosecution.

This post is out of the blue, but it's on my heart tonight and perhaps it will strike a chord with some of you.
My husband and I are experiencing secondary infertility. Our daughter was born 3 1/2 years ago and we always hoped to have our kids 2 or maybe 3 years apart. I thought, in my naive way, that having kids farther apart was too difficult on siblings (I am 7 and 8 years older than my brothers. My husband is 5 years younger than his sister.) Now, due to nature and probably God's will, the closest our kids can possibly be is 4 years and 2 month apart. That's IF we conceive in December.
It's funny, I was just reading an article on secondary infertility. In it, the author states that often parents feel guilty for their failure to provide a sibling for their child. A little lightbulb went on in my head. Yes, indeed, I feel like a bad mother for depriving my daughter of a sibling. I tell people "She's in preschool so she'll get some interaction with other kids." What I really mean is, "I've completely failed in my motherly duty to provide her interaction at home, so I have to pay someone to play with my child."
There are 5 stages of grieving, they say. In no particular order, anger, depression, denial, bargaining, and acceptance. In the 21 months of our infertility journey, I've been through all 5. As I tell my husband, I've BTDT to all five, but now I'm revisiting my favorites.
By far, most of the time, I am truly at peace with our journey. It's not always easy, but I lean on the Lord and I trust in His path for my life. Most of the time I'm fine seeing pregnant moms, new babies, and itsy bitsy diapers. I am so incredibly thankful for my little girl...if she's all I ever have, I'm still fulfilled as a mother.

For the want of a baby
This post is out of the blue, but it's on my heart tonight and perhaps it will strike a chord with some of you.
5 comments:
I can only imagine how hard it must be!
We mothers are always looking for something to feel guilty about -- I have recently found myself feeling guilty that my youngest two are close enough together that I feel like I can't focus on either of them as much as I should.
God has a plan for your family; I'm sure of it.
I was in your shoes two years ago. I wanted my children to be three years apart- like me and my brother and my husband and his sister. Timing didn't work in our favor and several rounds of clomid later our boys are 5 years 2 months apart. I am actually very thankful. My older son is so helpful with the new baby, it is so amazing! I wish you speedy conception!
LOL Kansas Mom...the grass is always green on the other side! Yes, Mothers Guilt is a marvelously devious thing. My husband loves to use it to his advantage ("You should put Camille to bed. Someday she won't want you to tuck her in at night.")
I thought about sending you a personal email, but decided just to post a comment on your blog in hope that it may also help someone else going through infertility. I dealt with infertility and doctors, testing, etc. when trying to get pregnant with our first child. We are now trying for our second child and know that secondary infertility may very well become a reality for us in the near future.
I read many books related to infertility and my favorite book that helped me the most understand my emotions and the greiving process you go through, gave a brief overview of how to find a doctor and procedures you may go through, how to respond to people's comments and questions, and other information is "When the Cradle is Empty" by John and Sylvia Van Regenmorter. Receiving the "Stepping Stones" newletter each month was also encouraging and can be signed up for at http://www.bethany.org/step/. There are also many other helpful resources at this site. The Stepping Stones bookstore hosted by Bethany Christian Services also has other helpful books and resources, some of which I also read.
Thank you Shelly!
I haven't read "When the Cradle is Empty" recently, but I did read it before ever becoming a mother. We used to manage a Christian bookstore and I read many of our counseling books. Ironic, eh?
I give this back to God every day. In return, he gives me peace and comfort. I'm glad I'm not in this journey alone.

Why not volunteer for Knitfest 2018?
Do you have any experience in helping at festivals and events? That's ok if you don't. We'll train you.
We need all the help we can get to join our dedicated team of volunteers. We need men and women.
Some of the jobs we need help with:
Before the Festival
- Knitters and Crocheters to create the pieces to sew together for the yarnbombing
- Yarnbombing – People to sew the woven pieces onto the trees and posts. We need a team of crafty people to attach our knitted and crocheted yarnbomb pieces. This will take place before the festival opens. From Mon, June 18th – Fri, July 29th and then again on Mon 2nd July, to carefully take it down.
- Administration
- Marketing
- Sponsorship
- Delivering and distributing posters, flyers etc
- Building the display structures eg Plinths
During the Festival
- Looking after the exhibitions and answering any questions from the patrons. We'll tell you the answers so don't worry.
- Handing out our program guides. You can either sit at a table and hand them out at our Information Booths or you can wander the street handing them out and answering patrons questions eg: Where's the best place to eat. Where are the toilets. What time is the Felting workshop and where is it held, etc
- Helping with the workshop venues. Straightening it up afterwards so it's ready for the next workshop.
- Helping put up marquees, setting up the venues with tables and chairs etc
- We'll need runners to deliver messages and drop off supplies from one venue to the next.
- Stage Managers for our Live Entertainment and Guest Speakers
- Emcees – We'll need people with the gift of the gab to introduce our guest speakers
- Merchandise sales, Bookkeepers, cashiers. Our Merchandise shop needs staff who are used to busy retail stores.
- Floor walkers – to fluff up the displays and replace stock that has sold and keep an eye on shoplifters.
So you can see we need a large team of helpers. You don't always need qualifications but an eagerness to participate.
