Bonds exposed
Shadows details superstar slugger's steroid use
Posted: Tuesday March 7, 2006 12:55PM; Updated: Tuesday March 7, 2006 12:55PM
NEW YORK (SI.com) -- Beginning in 1998 with injections in his buttocks of Winstrol, a powerful steroid, Barry Bonds took a wide array of performance-enhancing drugs over at least five seasons in a massive doping regimen that grew more sophisticated as the years went on, according to Game of Shadows, a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters at the forefront of reporting on the BALCO steroid distribution scandal.
(An excerpt of Game of Shadows that details Bonds' steroid use appears exclusively in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated, which is available on newsstands beginning on Wednesday. The book's publication date is March 27.)
The authors, Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, describe in sometimes day-to-day, drug-by-drug detail how often and how deeply Bonds engaged in the persistent doping. For instance, the authors write that by 2001, when Bonds broke Mark McGwire's single-season home-run record (70) by belting 73, Bonds was using two designer steroids referred to as the Cream and the Clear, as well as insulin, human growth hormone, testosterone decanoate (a fast-acting steroid known as Mexican beans) and trenbolone, a steroid created to improve the muscle quality of cattle.
BALCO tracked Bonds' usage with doping calendars and folders -- detailing drugs, quantities, intervals and Bonds' testosterone levels -- that wound up in the hands of federal agents upon their Sept. 3, 2003 raid of the Burlingame, Calif., business.
Depending on the substance, Bonds used the drugs in virtually every conceivable form: injecting himself with a syringe or being injected by his trainer, Greg Anderson, swallowing pills, placing drops of liquid under his tongue, and, in the case of BALCO's notorious testosterone-based cream, applying it topically.
According to the book, Bonds gulped as many as 20 pills at a time and was so deeply reliant on his regimen that he ordered Anderson to start "cycles" -- a prescribed period of steroid use lasting about three weeks -- even when he was not due to begin one. Steroid users typically stop usage for a week or two periodically to allow the body to continue to produce natural testosterone; otherwise, such production diminishes or ceases with the continued introduction of synthetic forms of the muscle-building hormone.
Bonds called for the re-starting of cycles when he felt his energy and power start to drop. If Anderson told Bonds he was not due for another cycle, the authors write, Bonds would tell him, "F--- off, I'll do it myself.''
The authors compiled the information over a two-year investigation that included, but was not limited to, court documents, affidavits filed by BALCO investigators, confidential memoranda of federal agents (including statements made to them by athletes and trainers), grand jury testimony, audiotapes and interviews with more than 200 sources. Some of the information previously was reported by the authors in the Chronicle. Some of the information is new. For instance, in an extensive note on sourcing, the authors said memos detailing statements by BALCO owner Victor Conte, vice president James Valente and Anderson to IRS special agent Jeff Novitzky were sealed when they first consulted them, but have been unsealed since.

If you ask Pastor Bryan Melton what has held his church together for the past 175 years, his top two factors have one thing in common — love
If you ask Pastor Bryan Melton what has held his church together for the past 175 years, his top two factors have one thing in common — love.
The members of Mount Moriah Baptist Church love one another, and they love the Lord.
"I grew up in this church, and now I'm the pastor of the church," he said. "These people really love each other. It's not exclusive. They embrace everyone."
Members are also dedicated to reaching as many people as possible with the message of the Gospel because of their love for Jesus, he said.
The church on Gilliam Mountain Road in Edneyville celebrated its 175th anniversary recently with a special service and meal for its members.
"It was great," Melton said. "We had a full house and tons and tons of food."
The anniversary celebration will continue in September when the church hosts an outdoor contemporary Christian music concert and hot dog supper. The free event will take place at 6 p.m. Sept. 6 at the church.
The entire community is invited to join church members in celebrating the church's history during the concert and supper.
Mount Moriah Baptist Church began in 1839 with 14 charter members and soon added a small school called Mount Moriah School. Two church elders, Benjamin King and John Lyon, took turns holding services soon after the church opened.
The church built in 1839 stood for a number of years until it was destroyed by a fire.
"Evidently, in the late 1800s there was a fire. It burned down," Melton said. "They built another building, which we worshiped in until 2012."
The church was remodeled in the 1940s when Sunday school rooms were built and a furnace was installed. The first full-time minister joined the church in 1954.
In the 1960s, the church built a baptistery, kitchen and new Sunday school rooms.
The building met the needs of its members for the next several decades. But by 2012 it became apparent to everyone that Mount Moriah needed a new facility.
"It was just so crowded," Melton said. "People would come and visit and not come back."
The church tore down its old building.
Members came together in an adjoining structure while the new $1.2 million church was built on the spot where the old church stood. The new church was dedicated in May 2012. Mount Moriah now has 350 members.
Plans for the future of the church include adding an education building to the campus and beginning new ministries, Melton said.
The church recently began offering a contemporary praise band during its services and plans to continue its success with the September concert.
"We are trying to reach younger people," Melton said.
Much of the congregation at Mount Moriah is made up of families that have attended the church for generations.
Church member Priscilla Walker said her family is one of those that found a home at Mount Moriah.
Walker's family has attended the church for at least five generations.
"Is that not so cool?" she said. "That is pretty far back."
Walker, 33, grew up attending Mount Moriah, but she left the church for a time and joined a larger congregation in the area.
She eventually returned to the church and now attends with her four children.
I just felt that is where the Lord always wanted me to be," she said. "I just feel that is where I'm meant to be."
Walker said she thinks the kindness members show toward each other makes the church special. When she experienced deaths in her family, church members made home-cooked meals to help her family through their time of grief.
"That is why I love that church. They have always been there for me," she said. "I know God is in that church."
Melton also grew up attending the church before going away to college and "chasing the world" for a few years.
He returned to the church in his late 20s and fell in love with its people and mission all over again. Melton has led the church as its pastor for the past 15 years.
"This is my home. I know all the people, and they know me — and they let me be the pastor anyway," he said with a chuckle. "I really love them. I do."

UNCW Press Release
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – UNCW closed the game on an 11-4 run, but Wake Forest was able to hold off the Seahawks for a 60-59 victory in collegiate women's basketball action Wednesday at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The Demon Deacons improved to 2-0 on the young season with the one-point win while the Seahawks moved to 0-2. Both teams return to action Sunday. UNCW travels to Elon for a 7 p.m. contest while Wake Forest is at No. 25 Kansas in a 3 p.m. tip.
Senior Lakevia Boykin led four Wake Forest players in double figures with a game-high 18 points as junior Chelsea Douglas added 14 while senior Asia Williams and sophomore Dearica Hamby pitched in 10 points apiece. Hamby grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and Williams added seven boards and a game-best five assists.
Senior Tawanna Lee and sophomore Kelva Atkins scored 13 points apiece to lead UNCW while senior Chelsea McGowen joined the duo in double figures with 10. McGowen added a career-high 12 rebounds for her second career double-double as the Seahawks held a commanding 50-38 advantage on the glass. Senior Karneshia Garrett pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds and added nine points and a team-high three steals in an all-around effort.
Trailing 56-48 with 3:42 remaining in the contest, a jumper by McGowen sparked the Seahawks to score seven on nine points and pull within three, 56-53, with 1:57 on the clock.
Wake Forest regained its two-possession lead moments later on a jumper by Williams, but back-to-back layups by McGowen pulled the Seahawks within one, 60-59, with just 30 seconds remaining.
The Seahawks would foul on the Demon Deacons next possession and sent Douglas to the line for a one-and-one opportunity. Douglas' free-throw attempt was long and UNCW would gather the rebound with a chance to win the game.
On the final possession of the game, the Seahawks would work the ball to Lee at the right elbow in the final seconds. Lee would get off a three-point attempt just as the final buzzer sounded, but her shot hit the rim and stayed out, allowing the Demon Deacons to escape the one-point victory.
UNCW got off to a fast start in the first half, knocking down five its first eight field goal attempts of the game on its way to building an early 13-7 advantage.
The Demon Deacons responded to the Seahawks opening charge, using back-to-back three pointers from Boykins to spark an 18-6 run and take a 25-19 lead with 8:31 remaining in the first half.
A free throw by freshman Dana Brown and a layup by Atkins on back-to-back possessions ended the Wake Forest spurt and started a 9-3 run for the Seahawks that would tie the game at 28-all.
The Demon Deacons would once again counter the Seahawks run, going on an 11-3 spurt that would last more than six minutes and gave Wake Forest its largest lead of the game, 41-31, with 15:03 remaining.
A layup by Mandic would end the spurt and send the Seahawks on an 11-3 run that trimmed the Demon Deacon advantage to two, 44-42, at the 11:15 mark of the frame.
An 8-2 run by the Demon Deacons capped off the UNCW spurt and pushed the Wake Forest cushion to eight, 52-46. The two teams would trade baskets over the next four minutes, setting up the Seahawks late push.

DR. HOOK- One ringy-dingy: Why the doc doesn't call you back
"Why haven't you called me back?"
That's probably the mantra for most single women and gay men. Macy Gray sang about having had such a good time, but wonders why you haven't called her back. Sex and the City finally explained why: "He just isn't into you." And let's face it. Most guys avoid confrontation. It's easier to break up with someone on a Post-It Note (also as shown on Sex and the City) than it is to meet face-to-face.
But what does it mean when your doctor doesn't call you back?
Well, there really isn't a correlation between the dating world and the doctor-patient world. So I hope you don't think, "My doctor isn't into me" if your doc doesn't return your phone call. There are probably lots of reasons you didn't hear from him or her.
During office hours, what's your doctor doing? Seeing patients!
"Do unto others as you would others to do unto you." Would you like your doc to be interrupted by a phone call in the middle of talking about your important issues? "Ah, hold that thought while I answer a patient's phone call. Don't jump off a bridge between now and then. Seriously."
Some patients think the doctor has time to call between patients, but with 15-minute visits, that's impossible. When directed to the nurse, the patient might plead, "But it will only take a minute–" A minute in patient time would burn Minute Rice and Instant Oatmeal to a crisp.
Don't believe me? The voice mails left on my phone have the time recorded. I would say that, on average, patients' voice messages are 4-5 minutes long. I used to be guilty of leaving long voice messages, until I learned that 99 percent of my friends never listen to my messages past 15 seconds. (Of course, it didn't help I usually started each message with a 20-second song.)
I respond to all my messages: emails and phone calls. But if someone keeps emailing or calling me back every 15 seconds with the same problem, I make them come in for an appointment. If it's that important, you need to see the doctor.
I do have some folks email me a question, but then will email me 5-10 more times to question my answers. "You said to take Tylenol. Is generic okay?" Yes, that's fine. "Which generic do you recommend?" Any is fine. "Which pharmacy do you recommend?" Um, it's 8pm, and I still have 500 charts to go through.
Usually the office staff will talk to the patient, run it by the doctor, and get back to the patient. That really is the only way to survive in today's world of medicine. Doctors have to see many, many patients to keep the office afloat. That means you aren't the only patient; it in no way means you aren't important. It's just that there's one doctor and thousands of patients.
I think some doctors don't call the patient back because after working 12 hours and being sleep deprived from being on call, sometimes making phone calls at 9pm is difficult. That's why I'm the email king (or queen): I type 100 words a minute, and there isn't chit-chat-chit-chat to slow me down.
I think in the near future every doctor is going to charge for out-of office-communication. Some already do. Say "Hello" to Dr. VISA.
Dr. Hook cracks a joke or two, but he's a renowned physician with a local practice. Email him with your questions.

My dentist feels my nads so that makes me feel special.
So what you are saying is the doc has time to send out bills and unless there is money involved don't expect a followup even though the doc said they would do something and don't. If a doc is too busy to followup or have a nurse respond to a request for more info on how to relieve a pain perhaps that is a sign the doc has too many customers. Two mercedes in the driveway should not be a sign of success but quality of treatment should.
People expect quality and some docs seem to expect quantity. Too bad there isn't a middle ground for those docs.
Perhaps the medical oath should be repeated daily.
What Dr. Hook was getting at is that there are other people who handle the billing for the doctor's office. He also clearly indicated that he thinks patients should be responded to and in a timely fashion, but perhaps by a nurse or other office staff rather than only by the doctor.
If you were ignored by a physician or physician's office that's unacceptable; but don't try to make it seem as though Dr. Hook is trying to say that kind of behavior should be permitted.
As for middle ground, email seems to be a good one. Speaking to the office staff and accepting a response from them seems another.
Yes it seems to me that many problems in the medical profession are caused by one doctor or nurse trying to deal with too many patients.
My kid's pediatrician was a really nice guy in the world (just like Dr. Hook!) but his office was run terribly, it wasn't uncommon to have to wait two hours for a pre-scheduled appointment.
I don't think the criticism that "In Pain" leveled is fair. Certainly doctors are not the ones handling billing. And when, for instance, my daughter was seizing in the middle of the night and was brought back by the knowledge and care of a physician who had spent over eight years training for that night - all I could feel was gratitude. If that means they are rewarded financially for the years of training and sacrifice, I think they deserve it. Certainly, we have all experienced doctors who are not the best at what they do, but that only makes me feel so good about the ones who are the best - knowledgable, caring, and although pressed for time, ready to help.
I do understand that doctors have way more patients than they can honsetly handle.
I never talk to my dr on the phone only nurse and it seems like relaying information doesn't come easily to them. In the 2 years I have called maybe 2 x. I think if communication/organization were more clear the 1st time we would spend less time doing it. Called dr office Monday was told I would receive a call back yesterday or today. 2:38 pm eastern time here, office open another 2 hrs hmmmm. Would LOVE if I could send dr e-mail so I could eliminate any needless words. Sick of hearing $$$$$, pay for visit, pay form fees that is really shoving my file in a fax & hitting send but it takes a week to do that. Due to spine problem I see dr WAY too much & would just like to be treated like a human being just once in a while. I think $$$$$ has taken over true compassion. Maybe I'm missing something.

Vapor sizes 2009
3rd September 2008, 05:51 PM
Hi can I wish for a 7.0 Vapor for 2009. As a hobby racer/speedster I can only afford 2 sails. a 6.0 7.0 would be a great combination...
Kevin Pritchard
4th September 2008, 11:04 AM
Sorry, the new gaastra sizes will be 50 55 60 67 76 84 93 10
5th September 2008, 04:03 PM
hallo Kevin,thanks for the news.
Would you like,please,tell us also why Gaastra decided to switch for 84-93 and not mantain their usual 82-90 ?
What they try to different achieve with these new sizes?
thank you
Kevin Pritchard
6th September 2008, 02:12 AM
I requested to change it to those sizes. For me I always felt a bit under powered on the 8.2 so i needed something a bit bigger. The range on the Vapors are so good that we can use a bigger gap in the sizes and still be efficient. Ross was only using 8.2 as his biggest and that got a bit small sometimes so I think it will work out great. For the 9.0, for me I needed a little bit bigger sail sometimes. The 10.0 we are not really using in Slalom and the 9,3 is a perfect slalom no wind size.
6th September 2008, 04:12 AM
first of all thanks for your clear reply.
As I am a 2008 Vapor user I'd like to share my opinion with you.
This year is first time in big slalom stuff as I used sail fw in light-med wind.So I've had to learn a couple of things.As big slalom board I own a Manta 79.I feel that the 9,0 is big enough for my 80 kg in true 11 knt.But if you sail a Starboard 133 in the same wind probably you need more pull from a slightly bigger area.That look a nice reason for asking for more mq.
When it comes to PWA the point is a bit different.I've heard that you all like to start racing when steady 13-14 knt.Oh weel.it can be different if during the event the wind lacks.In that case every chance to race will be run.As I'm not a PWA rider I can be wrong.Anyway.That's could be the other reason why you want the 8,4 instead the 8,2.It still can have that "grunt" to pull you out of trouble if needs but it's still the correct boom lenght to be smooth in manouvres.It is going to be the smallest "efficient" size for the 133 or the right size for the 122.
As for Vapor's range I find it great both for the 12, the 9,0 and 6,7 while I'm pretty disappointed about the 11.When overpowered if you OH a bit more than specs the sail looses speed and angle while mantaining the truck pull that tires you off.Right now no way to make it work right.
Please note that I use to set the pulley between specs and + 2/3 cm in every size with Gaastra Gold mast.

Dubbed "The Gateway to the South," the station will be a major stop on the Southeast high-speed rail corridor that will span from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta, Ga. It will also provide expanded service to intercity and commuter rail passengers, improve freight operations and add local and intercity bus service. The project will enhance safety by improving track signals and providing better access to station platforms.
The city of Raleigh estimates the project would stimulate the development of more than 2.5 million square feet of office space and 6,000 residential units downtown.
The grant comes on the heels of other efforts to improve passenger rail service in the Southeast. More than half a billion has been invested through the FRA's High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail program in North Carolina and construction is underway to reduce trip times and add more frequent service between Raleigh and Charlotte.
Through additional federal grants the states of North Carolina and Virginia are completing the prerequisite environmental and planning work to drastically reduce train travel times between the Raleigh and Washington, D.C., to allow travelers to make a roundtrip between the two cities within a single day for meetings and other events, strengthening the economic ties between the two regions and creating new opportunities for job growth.

WaterkenTM Server
Asynchronous messaging between event loops, such as used in AJAX, is a great model for building distributed applications. The asynchronous messaging allows an application to remain responsive in the face of network latency and event loops allow multiple activities to be pursued, without many of the dangers inherent in multi-threading. This computing model is made even better with the addition of promises, a kind of reference that can refer to the result of future computation, such as the response to an asynchronous message. For example, promises make it a lot easier to express an algorithm that sends additional asynchronous messages depending on the results of past messages. The Waterken server provides a platform for building such applications in Java and making them accessible to HTTP-based clients.
Server-side Java code is written to the
ref_send API, which defines the
asynchronous invocation interface. The Waterken server implementation of the
ref_send API provides orthogonal persistence and across-the-network transport of
asynchronous invocations. Each invocation is sent as an HTTP request: either a
POST for an update, or a
GET for a query. The request
URL fully identifies the invocation target and any arguments are carried in the
request body, encoded in JSON. A JavaScript implementation of the ref_send API facilitates
interaction with server-side objects from within the browser. For an example
interaction, see the Bang Tutorial.
The Waterken server supports use of capability-based security to control the actions of both server-side objects and remote clients. The ref_send API is designed for use by code that passes the Joe-E verifier. Using this verifier, capability-based auditing techniques can be applied to bound the possible effects that can be caused by a server-side object. The Waterken server implementation itself also passes the Joe-E verifier. A remote client can only access a server-side object via a cryptographically protected capability URL, called a web-key. By reasoning about what web-keys a remote client may come to possess, the possible effects on server-side objects can be bounded. Though the Waterken server is designed for use with the Joe-E verifier, it can still be used with code that does not pass the verifier.

Bible Text:
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. —Psalm 37:3
"Put thy trust in Jehovah and do good." It is not without good reason that he begins with the doctrine of faith, or trust in God. For there is nothing more difficult for men than to preserve their minds in a state of peace and tranquillity; undisturbed by any disquieting fears, while they are in this world, which is subject to so many changes. On the other hand, while they see the wicked becoming rich by unjust means, extending their influence, and acquiring power by unrestrained indulgence in sin, it is no less difficult for them steadily to persevere in a life of piety and virtue. Nor is it sufficient merely to disregard those things that are commonly sought after with the greatest eagerness.
Some of the philosophers of antiquity were so noble-minded that they despised riches unjustly acquired, and abstained from fraud and robbery; nay, they held up to ridicule the vain pomp and splendor of the wicked, which the common people look upon with such high admiration. But as they were destitute of faith, they defrauded God of his honor, and so it happened that they never knew what it was to be truly happy.
Now, as David places faith first in order, to show that God is the author of all good, and that by his blessing alone prosperity is to be looked for; so it ought to be observed that he connects this with a holy life; for the man who places his whole confidence in God, and gives himself up to be governed by him, will live uprightly and innocently, and will devote himself to doing good. —Commentaries
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

Not to air my dirty laundry, but I need some advice. thoughts, etc. I hope that you will be kind because chastising me doesn't change the situation. i can kick myself far harder.
I have put away the credit cards and am enjoying life without them. However, I still have that debt. I am only working part-time and my outgoing is still more than my incoming and that is the necessities. I have some small savings that I am using to bridge the difference. I am looking for other part time work such as tutoring that won't damage the health progress that I have made.
One company has been just rude. It's Sears Citi. harassing phone calls. Calling me up and hanging up on me. Or I call them and they hang up. I don't really owe them a lot, comparatively speaking.
ATT also is Citi but appeared to try to work with me. I owe them a ton and they want more than the 25 per month I might spare.
Cap one has a protection plan and I will see if that works. I don't owe them much.
Bank of America I owe them a ton, too, and had a good rate. I started this last year in an attempt to pay things off. Liquidated savings to pay some stuff off.
This last year was so stressful as y'all know. So not only did a lot of doctor's and hospital bills go on credit so did a lot of retail therapy. i was stressed beyond belief and didn't care. and I really thought I would have a job by the time school started. i found out later that schools were hiring new teachers from out of state. Didn't even post on their own websites. you can almost pay two teachers on my salary. SIGH. And just 4 years until I can retire. full or pat time doesn't matter. At least I do't think it does. It will affect my ability to get insurance cheaply.
I might ask my doctor about some sort of disability statement. It has taken me awhile to feel better. Still progress to be made.
So my question is "what are the credit card companies likely to do?" I know they can sue, but will they? I know the credit rating will suck for several years. But can they garnish wages if that put me out of my home? What about bankruptcy?
I know any advice given is to be taken with consideration. I think I am looking for your stories (only if you feel like it) and re-assurances.
Thanks for reading. I hope you will respond even if only to wish me luck.

Every once in a while the phone rings and it's a recruiter on the other end. While you might not be interested in what he is offering, you have to admit that it's flattering to get the call. ("Someone thinks I might be right for a job!")
Once you get past the initial compliment, though, you have to get down to the serious business of determining if you are interested. The recruiter wants to know about you, but before you turn over your resume, there are things you should know about him.
Here are 10 questions to ask a recruiter and one question to avoid, as identified by Andrea Sobel writing for TheLadders. See if you can figure out which is which.

"The 34-Ton Bat"
The Story of Baseball as Told Through Bobble Heads, Cracker Jacks, Jock Straps, Eye Black and 375 Other Strange and Unforgettable Objects
Terri Schlichenmeyer | 10/18/2013, midnight
No matter where you are, you can remember that sound. You can just about hear it now: that "thwock" that comes when baseball meets bat. That hollow noise, that breathless second before the knowledge that you've hit it square; it's exquisite.
Is there anything sweeter than a perfect hit on a summer afternoon? Steve Rushin thinks there might be—and in his new book "The 34-Ton Bat," he offers up nearly 400 other options. ("The 34-Ton Bat: The Story of Baseball as Told Through Bobble Heads, Cracker Jacks, Jock Straps, Eye Black and 375 Other Strange and Unforgettable Objects" c.2013, Little Brown $25/$28, Canada 352 pages.)
Take, for instance, the game's namesake: the baseball. Consider its shape. Consider that, through the generations, countless boys learned to throw it hard and with accuracy. Now consider that many of those boys grew up to be soldiers, and you see what a World War I soldier noticed.
Still, it took a few more wars before anybody came up with a baseball-size grenade, an object which eventually made a pitch explosive, in the literal sense.
The bat, though, wasn't meant as a weapon (despite the fact that Al Capone famously used it as such). Originally, the wood was intended for furniture and stair rails, until the son of a Louisville woodworker offered to make a bat for a local ball player, much to the chagrin of his father, who considered baseball the very birthplace of debauchery.
It's hard to believe that was true, considering that baseball was initially a sport for gentlemen only. Manly gentlemen, to be exact, including macho catchers who caught fastballs barehanded for many seasons. Baseball mitts, you see, were for "sissies," and it took several years and a lot of busted fingers for that to change.
In this book, you'll find out how bugs changed bats. You'll see how one Orioles player utilized his mitt for unique relief. You'll see why no one wanted to ride the train with traveling baseball teams. You'll find out why uniforms include stirrup pants, caps, and numbers on the backs. You'll learn about one important piece of equipment invented by a man who begged to be kicked. You'll see why beer and baseball go together and why Milwaukee banned a bring-your-own policy. You'll read about the man who wrote baseball's theme song without having ever seen a game, and you'll see how an NYPD valor medal and the New York Yankees are forever tied.
Still longing for that little bit of leftover summer? Do you find romance in the words "play ball?" Then "The 34-Ton Bat" is the book you need.
In an unhurried manner not unlike a leisurely afternoon game, the author wanders through the fields of baseball, passing through locker rooms and outfields, touching upon every object in between. In doing that, Rushin delights trivia buffs with little-known knowledge and a wicked sense of humor. Such uncommon tidbits will also appeal to baseball fans who are already nuts for stats, history, and the minutiae of America's pastime.
And if that's you, then this unique and fun book is one you'll want to catch soon. The season may be almost over, but "The 34-Ton Bat" is a perfect hit for fall.

In the Jan. 13 story about New England Law, Boston, the Globe omitted several important facts and statistics about our law school and the legal education system despite our providing them ("A princely paycheck for dean of unheralded school," Page A1).
Under dean John F. O'Brien's leadership, an average of 90 percent of our graduates passed the bar exam on their first attempt over the past three years, which represents an improvement of nearly 20 points over five years, and ranks New England Law's results in the middle of the nine law schools in Massachusetts.
New England does not pay Supreme Court justices for speaking engagements at our school.
The Globe criticizes how many of the school's graduates obtain jobs "requiring a law degree." That phrase appeared in The Wall Street Journal and is not the terminology used by the American Bar Association, which is the official source of employment statistics. According to methodology provided by the National Association for Law Placement, 62.8 percent of our identified graduates in the class of 2011 obtained employment within nine months of graduation for which bar passage was required or for which the employer sought a person with a law degree.
The Globe's reporting neglected to mention that New England Law's employment statistics are comparable to those of law schools such as American, Pace, Suffolk, and New York Law School, and instead compares us to Harvard and Boston College.
We are proud of the education that we provide to our students. We believe that the bar pass rates cited above are a testament to the school's quality, as is the success of so many of our alumni over our long history.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The state Supreme Court will hear the state's appeal of a jury's awarding of damages to the parents of two Virginia Tech students who were slain in an April 2007 campus massacre.
A panel of three justices also rejected a bid by attorneys for the parents who want to sue Tech's president, Charles Steger. A judge excluded him from a trial in which the state was found negligent for failing to alert the Blacksburg campus of the first shootings.
A jury ruled last March that the university botched its response to the shootings. A lone gunman and 32 students and faculty were left dead in the shooting rampage — the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Virginia Lawyers Weekly first reported the court's decision.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, most expensive mediocre team in baseball history?
Of course, they're the most expensive any kind of team right now, but are hardly looking like that juggernaut that was supposed to pillage the Nation League on its way to the World Series.
The 22-20 Dodgers seem so incredibly middling. They are hardly inspiring, just average beyond reason.
The season is one-fourth over now and it is time for the lads to get it in gear, or at least out of neutral. To buckle up and play with some urgency, to play crisp, focused baseball.
The timing is pretty good, what with the Dodgers beginning a nine-game road trip Friday in Arizona against their favorite patsy. The Dodgers are 7-1 against the Diamondbacks this season and 15-19 against everyone else.
Plus, they're fairly healthy. Catcher A.J. Ellis has returned, Juan Uribe is back in the lineup Friday and they have Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw lined up to start the first two games.
And Manager Don Mattingly, unlike the last 5-4 road trip, actually was encouraged by the way the Dodgers played on their just-completed 3-4 homestand.
"I have actually been a little disappointed with our play on the trip, even though we went 5-4," he said. "We had a chance to go 6-3. I didn't like our energy.
"I thought the last five or six days it was our club again. We won two out of three [against Miami], and those last couple games against the Giants I felt better. It felt more like our club."
His current club is in third place in the National League West, five games back of the San Francisco Giants. It isn't that they've been terrible, just completely underwhelming for such a talented team.
It's only the middle of May, but thinking there is plenty of time can be a mental trap. They're not going to go on a 42-8 run again this season. The Giants are unlikely to go away. The Dodgers are going to have to win it.
This would be an excellent time to start.
"The last five or six days, it's felt more like our team last year than it has at any other time," Mattingly said. "I'm hoping we're starting to head that way."

Skip to comments.McCain Waiting 'A Few Years' Before Deciding on Re-Election Bid
Posted on 09/16/2013 2:57:48 AM PDT by TexGrill
Sen. John McCain brushed aside an impromptu remark on Friday that led some observers to question whether the Arizona Republican plans to seek re-election in 2016.
To clarify: I've long said I'll wait a few years before thinking about whether to seek re-election in 2016, he tweeted on Friday. Focused on our present challenges.
McCain, who was the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, was conducting an interview with The Wrap website when he reportedly made an off-the-cuff remark to a couple of Obama supporters, according to the publication.
At this point two supporters of President Obama cut in to thank McCain for being on our president's side for once in your life. McCain tells them, The president and I, he's in his last term, I'm probably in mine, the relationship we have had over the past three years is quite good. Quite good," the publication reported.
Appearing in On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, on Friday, McCain said that Russias Vladimir Putin outfoxed President Obama on Syria.
He also took a swipe at Putins chutzpah and penchant for appearing bare chested in photographs.
I think Ill start coming on this show with my shirt off to show how macho I am too by the way, McCain joked.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
I hope the bastard waits another 50 years.
John...by the way, you're spent, finito, done, finished, on the trash heap, gone and enough is enough. Go back to your Poker games and say farewell...
More loser quotes from that loser. I hope this is his last term, even shorter would be even better. Nice tagline, by the way.
McCain said that Russias Vladimir Putin outfoxed President Obama on Syria.
Outfoxed!!!! Putin spanked the Muslim goat humper like a red headed step child.
What an embarrasement to America the Liberals, Yutes and Gay Society has elected to represent the hard working American in Global affairs.
Survival of the working class will definetly will be the test of "survival of the fittest" and the prepared.
Notice his comment on his relationship with the "president" the past 3 years. yeah, I'm sure it is John - you have become his butt boy. What a useless tool this fool is.
Hey Juan,
Go play on the train tracks that goes through Flagstaff,
Maybe we'll get lucky ya old fool.
There are so many clowns and fools in Washington now that they should assign a "Fool Numbering System" so you can refer to your politician of choice. For example, McCain can be F0001.POLJM = F(Fool) 0001.(serial number) POL (Politician) (JM) John McCain.
Then if I want to crticize McCain, I can say:
F0001.POLJM is an a**
McCain is the guy the RNC endorsed.
Be careful getting close to McCain, he will leave a stain.
What a damn disgrace!
Decision has been made for him. I believe any competent Republican primary challenger would win based on how McCain has treated the people he represents.
And we all thought J.D. Hayworth was going to crush McCain several years ago....we all know how that worked out.
McCain is senile and needs to be replaced.
We were set up in 2008. We were presented a Morton's Fork.
He's not senile whatsoever. He's simply, evil and bought.
When McCain told the world that Obama will be a good President, the fix was in.
I'm thinking that he picked Sarah Palin with good intentions, but his liberal democrat campaign team, and some other interests got hold of "our friend from across the isle" John McCain and told him how to keep that dangerous Palin away from the WH if he knows what is good for him. I'm thinking he was handsomely rewarded for throwing the election.
Wrong party, John.
Or mebbie ya gonna run in (North) Veet-nam?
Oh good.Praying that he chooses to retire is more morally correct than praying for his cancer to come back.
This is a joke, right.
Here's what he is going to do.
Make an agreement to retire if Cindy McCain can be his replacement.
His "logic" will be if immigration reform doesn't pass, a Republican can't be elected in AZ.
The GOP-e will buy it, Cindy McCain will become Senator and then she will switch to RAT.

Confirming the industry's worst-kept secret, Valve CEO Gabe Newell has confirmed Valve is working on its 'Steam Box', a Steam-powered HTPC geared towards console-like gaming. It'll most likely run Linux. "Well certainly our hardware will be a very controlled environment," he told Kotaku. "If you want more flexibility, you can always buy a more general purpose PC. For people who want a more turnkey solution, that's what some people are really gonna want for their living room." Steam has 50 million subscribers, so there's a market here. As a comparison: Xbox Live has 40 million subscribers.

And vice versa: there are many indie games that create atmosphere no AAA game will ever achieve.
Braid, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery, VVVVV, or flash games like Where We Remain, Looming, The Fabulous Screetch (and his Trained Humans), etc. are just a few of those games. Some of them also have a regular story, but with most atmosphere is king.

Part four in a five-part series addressing Camden County's most pressing needs ahead of the August 2014 primary election.
As the nation struggles to rebound from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, elected officials have the tough task of generating a productive business climate in a sluggish economy. Development has surged in eastern Osage Beach and in western Miller County, while things have gotten worse in west Osage Beach. Camdenton still sees a disproportionately high number of closed businesses and blighted districts were considered for parts of Sunrise Beach and Macks Creek as recently as a couple of years ago.
The task of fostering a thriving business environment is no doubt an arduous task, but what's still unclear is how Camden County can keep up with its neighbors and with its own cities.
On the municipal level
Two of the lake communities often cited for leading the charge in retail development are Osage Beach and Lake Ozark.
Osage Beach — located mostly in Camden County — is credited with breaking into the national retail scene with the Osage Beach Premium Outlets in 1986, followed more than a decade later by Prewitt's Point in 2001. A string of chain retailers and restaurants has followed, including St. Louis-based Dierbergs Market two years ago.
On the other side of the county border in Miller County is Lake Ozark, which was the poster child for missed opportunities for several years, but now claims its corner of the market with the Shoppes at Eagles' Landing and a handful of new businesses on the Bagnell Dam Strip.
Their common philosophy is simple, and paraphrased a famous line from "Field of Dreams": If you build it, they will come.
Both communities have relied on Tax Increment Financing (TIFs), an economic development tool, to help spur development.
Prewitt's Point was awarded the first TIF in the lake area through the city of Osage Beach. Prewitt Enterprises was founded by Gary Prewitt in 1990.
Andy Prewitt of Prewitt Enterprises notes that Gary was born and raised in the lake area. Developing property that his family owned was a natural fit.
"Gary saw huge numbers of people enjoying the area and realized that there was a deficiency in retail," Prewitt said. "He had the forethought and vision to fill that gap."
A key to Osage Beach's success has been its vision to build the infrastructure needed for major development.
"The city has been very proactive with building infrastructure and providing other services in-house to support new businesses," Mayor Penny Lyons said.
The services are available to anyone who needs information on zoning, utility costs, building requirements, other fees and licenses and various statistics necessary to make an informed decision, she explained.
"We are very fortunate to have a well-trained, hands-on staff that can answer most of the questions a new business may have in locating in Osage Beach," Lyons explained.
The majority of Osage Beach's budget is derived from sales tax revenue, and city officials believe it's important to support retail development with realistic information on the area that is readily available to prospective businesses.
Lyons said the board and staff attend various seminars and training sessions to keep current on the last in development for municipalities.
"We are always available to meet and answer any inquiries," the mayor said.
Another feather in the retail cap of Osage Beach is the expansion of Dierbergs into the local grocery store market. Dierbergs, open less than two years now, expanded from its home base of the St. Louis area with the help of not only a TIF but a Transportation Development District (TDD).
City Administrator Nancy Viselli said Dierbergs contacted both Osage Beach and Lake Ozark officials before deciding to locate in Osage Beach.
"They asked me why they should build in Osage Beach, and I told them because we already have the water and sewer infrastructure they needed," Viselli said.
Osage Beach has seen its share of business development, but economic woes west of the Grand Glaize Beach on Osage Beach Parkway seem to have the city stymied. Since the opening of Highway 54 Expressway, the Key Largo interchange debacle, and the abandonment of the Parkway west of Lazy Days Road, the business climate west of the bridge has suffered.
The most recent possible solution is activation of the Citizens Advisory Committee, which is trying to figure out ways to increase traffic to the area.
While Lake Ozark doesn't actively recruit businesses, City Administrator Dave Van Dee used the same "build it and they will come" analogy in explaining the city's recent success.
"A lot of our success has to do with the economic market and opportunities that came along," he explained.
Infrastructure is equally important to attracting business in Lake Ozark. The city recently completed a much-needed 10-inch water main to serve Bagnell Dam Blvd., and Van Dee said that should help spur development.
"It's been a combination of a lot of things," he said, "and we're always trying to enhance our infrastructure and figure out how to expand utilities into a particular area."
Gary Prewitt is also leaving his mark on the community with the Shoppes at Eagles' Landing, and more recently the announcement of another major retail development along Highway 54.
Van Dee said Prewitt developed a land pad where Kohl's, Menards, CVS, Osage Cine 8 and Buffalo Wild Wings is located. He's also creating a development site parallel to Highway 54 near the Osage River Bridge and Route 242.
Van Dee said having those types of developable locations helps attract interest.
As in Osage Beach, Lake Ozark officials are always willing to work with potential developers and continue to develop policies and databases for business inquiries.
With development ramping up in the eastern part of the county along the Camden/Miller border, things are a little different in the interior part of the county. Like many cities, Camdenton saw a decrease in sales tax when the recession hit the economy. From fiscal year 2008-2009, Camdenton saw a 4.25 percent decrease in sales tax in year 2009-2010. The city did not catch back up until fiscal year 2012-2013. In the most recent year, the city's sales tax increase 1.6 percent from the previous year.
City officials are attempting to be proactive in attracting businesses to the area. For City Administrator Jeff Hancock, upgrading some of the city's plans is one way to prepare for new businesses.
"I believe Camdenton's main priority is to establish an open and accepting attitude toward both existing and future business. To get ready for new business we are upgrading our five year water and sewer plans and also our plans at the Airport Business Park. We will soon be accepting proposals for the update of the City's Comprehensive Plan which will obtain not only our citizens but our major player's input on the community's future and vision," Hancock said. "In addition, one of our highest concentrations is to continue the airport runway extension project. This project will make the airport the corporate airport of the Lake region. We are now beginning the acquisition of the properties on this important regional project."
According to Hancock, the city is looking for industrial and manufacturing development which will hopefully create full-time not part-time and seasonal jobs.
"Obviously, retail is also important since it not only pays the bills, it also provides needed services to our residents and visitors. We are also aggressively assisting our partners in both of these endeavors," Hancock added. "In addition one cannot forget the role that housing can play to both of these activities. We are actively working with LORDEC, the Lake of the Ozarks Council of Governments, and our local investors and developers toward positioning ourselves toward meeting needed housing. All of these activities work to enhance the community's overall economic development well being and overall strategy."
Hancock believes that being the home of the county courthouse puts the city in an important role. He said that he believes that the city should serve the the county government to the best of its ability and in turn the county should look to them as a partner in economic development.
In April, the city made a move that will create 18 new jobs for a five year period. The city approved the leasing of a 16,580 sq ft. Galva Foam Building to FiberGlass Tank Solutions, LLC. The building had been vacant since early 2012. The five year maximum lease at the Camdenton Memorial Airport includes an approximate 3.6 acre site of a previous 9 acre site and calls for approximately $50,000 in improvements and a required minimum of five jobs. Camdenton obtained natural gas service from Summit Natural Gas for the business. The company's business plan calls for an anticipated 18 new jobs during the total lease period.
On the county level
An enhanced enterprise zone (EEZ) was proposed in Camden County in recent years but was never approved by the county commission after some citizens opposed the EEZ.
Since then, Missouri Works has been implemented to phase out EEZs though the new program similarly offers state tax credit incentives for new job creation based on certain eligibility requirements. While EEZs were set up by local governments in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) based on demographic criteria, Missouri Works also provides benefits for businesses creating new jobs in "rural" counties, of which Camden is one, and for larger business projects.
In addition to Missouri Works, the state DED has several other statewide business and community development programs.
Incentive initiatives that can be offered by local governments alone to assist or encourage development mainly include community improvement districts (CIDs) and tax increment financing (TIF), according to the Missouri Economic Development Council.
TIFs can be set up on properties under classifications of "blighted", "conservation" or "economic development." Under a TIF, a portion of local property and sales tax from a project above the existing tax base can be designated to help fund eligible expenses of the development in order to make the development feasible.
While Camden County has a TIF ordinance in place, according to the clerk's office, the county commission has never been the lead organization in a TIF project. All the TIF districts that have been set up in the county — including that at Dierbergs and Woods in Sunrise Beach — have been inside municipal boundaries. The county commission is represented on the 11-member TIF boards of cities within its jurisdiction.
CIDs can also be set up on properties to help finance certain developments, but again, the county commission has not initiated a CID though they do exist on projects within the county.
On the regional level
The Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Development Council was formed a number of years ago to study and develop strategies to enhance economic development in the lake area. LOREDC was formed to promote a regional approach to marketing the lake Area. LOREDC consists of communities within a three county region in Central Missouri – Camden, Miller, and Morgan. The council is made up of representatives of business, governmental agencies and taxing entities who are working together to establish a stronger economic foundation.
The group is striving to be a results-oriented team, committed to matching business needs with the best possible location and services with a creative financing package that helps companies with their bottom line and gaining a competitive edge.

Camden County does participate in LOREDC and pays a yearly membership fee.
LOREDC is one of the tools Camden County can use to take a more proactive role in economic development. The council has been promoting the advantages of regional activities and support. One of its first major projects, with the assistance of Ameren Missouri, was conducting the Quality of Labor Study. The ability to quantify the amount and quality of the area's workforce was an essential first step as it has provided the data for many of the subsequent projects. The organization is also looking at housing and other issues that have a direct impact on economic growth and development.

Bible Text:
Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. —Isaiah 55:1
So, because the Apostles have sent us to Jesus Christ, and have declared to us that it is to him we must look, and since he also invites us so sweetly to himself, saying, "Come unto me," let us not hang back or go wandering away; let us approach him boldly. For he did not say that for the prophets alone, or for the apostles and martyrs, or for the virgin Mary; but he wants to keep us all to himself, as also it is very necessary for us.
Let us undertake, I say, not to wander here and there when we pray to God, and let us know the good he has done for us when he was pleased to draw us back from the abyss and confusion of the Papacy and to show us the open door to come to him—that is, because Jesus Christ intercedes for us.
Let us hold to that, without wandering from one side to the other. For it is certain that, if our prayers are not ruled according to the Word of God, they are trifling and God rejects them. Nor can they be made in faith unless the assurance comes from the same source—that is, from the truth of God.
And now, if we want our prayers to be grounded in faith, they must be conformed to the will of God, and we must follow what he commands us—that is, we must have Jesus Christ as our Intercessor, Advocate and Mediator. —Sermons
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."

Steelers' Ward says players must do too much
Saturday, August 23, 2008
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Peter Diana/Post-Gazette
Hines Ward jokes with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin during the final afternoon summer camp workout at St. Vincent College. Ward would like to see the NFL lighten the players' workout load.
The Steelers' first teams will get their most extensive look tonight when they play the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. That's fine with Hines Ward, but he thinks somewhere along the line the NFL should reduce the amount of football its players must endure, either in the preseason or the offseason.
"It's long, monotonous, especially with OTAs," said Ward, entering his 11th NFL season. "You do all those OTAs, why not cut back on the preseason games?"
Organized team activities, or OTAs for short, are those voluntary practices and meetings each NFL team now conducts throughout the spring, usually from late April through early June. Each team is permitted 14 OTAs, plus a five-practice required minicamp spread over three days.
With all the spring workouts, Ward believes the players no longer need four preseason games to get ready for the regular season. He says three would be perfect.
"Either cut back on the preseason games or cut back on OTAs," Ward suggested.
Ward is aware that in order to reduce the number of preseason games, the owners would need to make up the revenue some other way. Since he does not advocate lengthening the season from its current 16 games, he says the alternative is to scale back what the players do in the spring.
"They say the OTAs are voluntary," Ward said. "But, really, they're mandatory. You can say it's voluntary if you want, but it doesn't look good when you're not here. So many big people make a big deal if a guy's not here. If you make such a big deal about it, it's ... voluntary! It should be every guy's choice if he wants to come back."
It was pointed out to Ward that both Troy Polamalu and Casey Hampton skipped the spring drills except for the required minicamp.
"Yeah, but if Troy, Casey, myself, Ben, Willie all stay away, now it becomes a problem," Ward said. "To me, it's mandatory. The preseason starts in April or May and goes all the way to now. Now it gets kind of monotonous; you see the same old plays, you run the same offense. I get tired going against Deshea. I've been going against Deshea for 11 years from May on out."
When Ward and cornerback Deshea Townsend joined the Steelers as draft picks in 1998, there wasn't so much football.
"You didn't have as many OTAs,'' Ward said. "When I was a rookie, we had a rookie minicamp and a smaller minicamp. You didn't see the veteran guys until the first week of June for a four-five-day camp. That's the way it used to be."
Having said that, Ward believes coach Mike Tomlin takes care of his older veterans better than do some other coaches, including Cleveland's Romeo Crennel. Defensive end Orpheus Roye, signed by the Steelers last week after he was released early this year by the Browns, told Ward that Tomlin goes easier on his veterans.
"He said their coach beat them up in training camp and, by time they got to the season, in the fourth quarters they were beat up, physically and mentally drained," Ward said. "Coach Tomlin has been good about it.
"Camp was good. He didn't really cut back, but some of the veteran guys he let off some days. He's been looking out for, I guess, those 30 and above. It's the same football. Myself, Potsie [James Farrior], James [Harrison], Deshea -- we've been running the same plays since day one, there's no need to grind through it. We've been in this league so long, I think we know what it takes to be mentally tough. It's the young guys, those are the guys he really pushes."
Ward said he is looking forward to the extended play he and his fellow first-teams will see tonight in Minnesota.
"It's probably the best preparation we're going to get before the regular season. You want to get the guys going on a 10- or 12 play drive. If I have my clothes on, I'm ready to play. I don't want to come out of the game. But you have to be smart about it."
By that he meant not pushing the first-teamers to the extent they are exposed to injury more than necessary. The Steelers saw what can occur in the preseason when backup quarterback Charlie Batch's right collarbone was broken in the first preseason game.
"Charlie's a quality backup who has been around. That could easily have been me or Ben or anybody who plays a vital role on this team.
"If two starting guys get hurt on your team, that can cause a different outcome for your season. Imagine if we lose Ben or Troy in the preseason, the state of the Steelers probably would go a little crazy. So you have to be smart in situations. You do have to take precautions. You don't want to overwork your guys in games that don't really count."

A judge has rescheduled the sentencing date for a Nebraska woman who pleaded no contest to faking an anti-gay hate crime.
Charlie Rogers will now face sentencing on March 14 in Lancaster County Court. A judge issued an order to delay the sentencing.
Rogers, a former University of Nebraska basketball star, was charged after she claimed she was attacked by three men who carved anti-gay slurs into her arms and stomach. Police later charged her with filing a false report, a misdemeanor.
Rogers maintains her innocence, but her attorney has said she didn't want a court fight and more of the publicity that her case has generated.
The 34-year-old Rogers could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine when sentenced.

In an interesting interview for the Wall Street Journal, Google's CEO talks about the future of the search. Eric Schmidt says that there are more and more implicit searches and that Google could have become a virtual assistant that offers suggestions and solves problems without having to define them.
"We're still happy to be in the search, believe me. But one idea is that more and more searches are done on your behalf without you needing to type. I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing the next."
As Google knows "roughly who you are, roughly what you care about, roughly who your friends are", it could suggest the interesting things. For example, if you're using a smartphone, Google could inform you that there are interesting things around you (maybe a bookstore that sells a book you've added to a wishlist).
"The thing that makes newspapers so fundamentally fascinating — that serendipity — can be calculated now. We can actually produce it electronically. The power of individual targeting — the technology will be so good it will be very hard for people to watch or consume something that has not in some sense been tailored for them," says Eric Schmidt. "As you go from the search box [to the next phase of Google], you really want to go from syntax to semantics, from what you typed to what you meant. And that's basically the role of [Artificial Intelligence]. I think we will be the world leader in that for a long time."
To better understand queries and to answer questions that were never asked explicitly, Google has to learn more about users and that's one of the reasons why Google struggles to build a successful social services.
Three years ago, Eric Schmidt said that "the goal [of search personalization] is to enable Google users to be able to ask the question such as 'What shall I do tomorrow?' and 'What job shall I take?' We cannot even answer the most basic questions because we don't know enough about you. That is the most important aspect of Google's expansion."
I don't think users "want Google to tell them what they should be doing next", but they probably want a tool that helps them solve problems, even when those problems can't be easily transformed into search queries. A real-word query can be a document, a spreadsheet, a list of words, an image, a sound, a short video, a location and it's really difficult to provide the relevant results without targeting and personalization.

A tax hike on beer being considered in the New Hampshire State Legislature is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of local breweries and package stores.
They worry the proposed 33 percent tax increase on wholesale beer could wipe out New Hampshire's pricing advantage over border states, where a case of beer is often slightly more expensive.
John Dumais, president of the New Hampshire Grocers Association, said Granite State grocers get about 60 percent of their business from neighboring states.
"Those 60 percent come to New Hampshire because we have a good story to tell -- low prices, no bottle bill," said Dumais. "Everything we have is a good deal. If you start raising the prices, there is less reason for them to come."
Reps. Charles Weed, D-Keene, and Richard Eaton, D-Greenville, have filed a bill that would hike the tax from 30 to 40 cents per gallon. The move would raise an estimated $4.3 million for prevention and treatment of alcohol abuse.
Besides scaring package-store owners, the tax increase could also threaten New Hampshire's emerging micro-craft brewery industry. Small breweries like Smuttynose and Redhook in Portsmouth are attracting tourism and new residents to the Granite State, according to Scott Schaier, a lobbyist for the beer-wholesalers trade association.
Schaier said a tax hike could prompt customers to abandon craft beers for cheaper brands.
"Small craft brewers don't have the efficiency.
The beer tax is 10.6 cents per gallon in Massachusetts, 35 cents in Maine, 26.5 cents in Vermont and 24 cents in Connecticut.
New Hampshire is the only one of these states that does not have a bottle tax. For instance, customers pay a deposit on each bottle of beer that ranges from 5 cents in Massachusetts and Connecticut to 15 cents in Maine and Vermont.
Weed, one of the beer tax's sponsors, told the New Hampshire Union Leader that it is "irresponsible" for the state to rely on excise taxes when it could instead raise taxes on products that cause health problems, such as beer.
"Government serves a necessary service that isn't provided by the private sector," Weed said. "Revenue-starved government is not capable of doing what needs to be done."
How much would the price of beer increase by if the bill were signed into law?
A 24-pack of beer consists of 2.25 gallons, meaning the proposed tax would increase the price of a case of beer by about 23 cents. While Schaier said this may not sound like much, he said it could have a significant economic impact if just a small percentage of beer fans change their drinking habits.
New Hampshire has the second-highest per-capita beer consumption in the country, according to a 2012 report by the Beer Institute, a lobbying group. While beer consumption in New Hampshire fell 1.8 percent between 2003 and 2011, it declined 7.5 percent nationally.

A superb Grant McCann free-kick was enough to give relegation-battlers Peterborough United all three points on Saturday evening against fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday.
The second-half strike was the only difference between the two sides on the day and it gives the Posh a great chance for survival in the Championship after a very poor start to the season that saw them go seven games without a single point.
Before the game, Posh knew that only a win would do as they saw Barnsley pick up three-vital points at home to Hull City and in-front of a packed out London Road, it was a Grant McCann special that secured the vital points.
Sheffield Wednesday started the game on the front foot after a Steve Howard header was saved well by Bobby Olejnik, but once the game got into the swing of things, it was the hosts that saw most of the possession.
The first real chance for Peterborough came when Lee Tomlin saw his shot parried by veteran goalkeeper Chris Kirkland and after the rebound fell back to Tomlin, he passed the ball across to in-form striker Dwight Gayle, who saw his shot eventually cleared on the line by defender, Miguel Llera.
Despite having over 70% of the possession in the opening stages, Posh couldn't get behind the Wednesday defence and the first-half ended with both sides deadlocked at 0-0.
Early in the second half, it was Gayle yet again that came close to scoring, but his shot was once again blocked off the line by Miguel Llera and the hosts appeal for hand-ball was quickly rejected. TV replays showed that the ball hit the defender in the chest.
Just as the hour-mark passed, Peterborough won a free-kick after loanee midfielder Alex Pritchard was bundled over by centre-back, Anthony Gardner.
Grant McCann has a lot of history scoring from free-kicks, his most famous one coming at Old Trafford when the Posh beat Huddersfield 3-0 to get promoted to the Championship and this free-kick could be just as important come the end of the season.
The Northern Ireland international smashed the ball over the wall and saw the ball smash against the post and nestle in the back of the net much to the delight of the home fans.
After the goal, chances were at a premium as neither side really had golden chances to add another, but the one goal was all that Peterborough needed to climb out of the relegation zone.
The Posh will now go into the last game of the season knowing that their survival fight is in their own hands as they travel to Crystal Palace.
The win means that there are seven teams fighting it out for survival, with two of them going down to League One.

Daniela Iacobelli was hitting the ball farther than her dad as a 4-year-old growing up in Clinton Township, so it's no surprise that golf became part of her life.
"Been playing since I was 3," said Iacobelli, now enjoying her first year on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, "so it would be an accomplishment to win on the LPGA tour."
A 29th place finish at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founder's Cup in Phoenix, Ariz. last month is proof that golf has become her life.
"Right now my goal is to get better and maintain my LPGA card," Iacobelli said at the Henry Ford Macomb Hospitals Golf Classic charity fundraiser held at Detroit Golf Club on Monday. "You have to be in the top 90 to keep the card."
Iacobelli, 25, who currently is ranked 315th in the world by Rolex Rankings, is preparing for the Walmart NW Arkansas Championships on June 21-23.
"Everyone is good on tour," Iacobelli said of the LPGA. "I'm hitting the ball good off the tee – 275 to 280 yards. But it is tougher golf courses, tougher putting greens."
On Monday, Iacobelli was reacquainted with Nancy Lopez at the Detroit Golf Club, who was flown in for the Henry Ford Macomb Hospitals charity event as the celebrity golfer.
"I aspired to be like Nancy Lopez," said Iacobelli citing Lopez's 48 career LPGA victories. "She's (Lopez) is like a mom to me."
The sport of gold came to Iacobelli naturally. She attended Huron Elementary School and Wyandot Middle School in Clinton Township before moving down to Florida to play college golf at Florida Institute of Technology where she was the 2007 NCAA Division II individual champion.
"It's always in the back of your head to remember what got you here," Iacobelli said. "I was in the right place at the right time to get here. I'm still on an emotional high."
Iacobelli notched 29 top-10 finishes, including eight wins in collegiate competition while at FIT.
After college, she was a third-year member on the Symetra Tour in 2012 and broke into the top-10 on the money list in the final week of the season after her first professional win at the Daytona Beach Invitational – automatically qualifying her for the LPGA Tour.
Iacobelli was ranked fifth on the money list, recorded four additional top-10 finishes and was ranked first on the Symetra Tour in driving distance.
Now that she has made it to the LPGA Tour, Iacobelli splits time between her father's house in Clinton Township and her mother Maria's home in Melbourne, Fla.
"Michigan has phenomenal courses," she said, "but Florida has the weather."
Her father, Grazio Iacobelli, recalled how Daniela asked him where he was going one day when she was just 3 ˝ years old; then he recalled how she told him she was going golfing with him too.
"I bought her some plastics gold clubs," Gracio, 73, said. "She walked the whole 9 holes with me, and I'll always recall her being a natural golfer.
"Now she's just such a good human being – a really nice person," he said. "She knows how to make people laugh. We're just excited for her to achieve her dream. It means everything to us. We want her to be happy no matter what she does"
For Daniela Iacobelli, the dream is alive at 25. And a round of golf at Burning Tree Golf Club in Macomb Township was just a tune-up for next week's LPGA event in Arkansas.
"If it's your dream you can't give up," she said. "You have to walk before you run. It's a progression day by day. It's a tough life on tour, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
"I'm now living in the moment," Daniela concluded. "Hopefully, I'll start piecing it all together to make some good strong finishes; keep the LPGA card for next year, and be an influence in someone else life."

Belcher does not want fast-track to Silva
Alan Belcher admits a title shot against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is unlikely to happen in the near future.
Belcher takes on Yushin Okami at UFC 155 in the final event of 2012 in Las Vegas, and he is happy to make his way up the pecking order to earn the right to be No. 1 contender in the 185-pound division.
The American says he is prepared to pack out his schedule in 2013 against the likes of Michael Bisping, Vitor Belfort and Hector Lombard in order to pave the way for a showdown with Silva.
"After I beat Yushin Okami, I'm not going to be mad if the UFC doesn't have me fighting Anderson Silva in February or March," Belcher was quoted as saying by Bloody Elbow. "I want to make it realistic. I want to work for it.
"I want to legitimately beat everyone in the division with no questions asked. That means if I have to beat Lombard, Bisping, Belfort, [Chris] Weidman, all of them in 2013, that's what I'll do."
Belcher is confident he is well-prepared for Okami, who he lost to on his UFC debut in 2006, and believes variety will be the key to defeating the Japanese.
"He's good at what he does but at the same time, it's very easy to figure out what he's going to do," Belcher said. "He's very predictable. I have a lot of options with the things I can do.
"I have a lot of different styles and strategies I use. I have a lot of different ways to beat him where for him to win, he has to keep pressuring me and has to take me down. That's pretty much it."

4G Phones Are Really Fast — At Draining Batteries 281
Hugh Pickens writes "With Verizon's 4G network covering a good chunk of the country and AT&T gaining ground, more smartphone users have access to the fastest wireless service available. But because 4G coverage isn't truly continuous in many locations, users' batteries are taking a big hit with 4G, as phones spend an lot of battery power trying to hunt down a signal. 'You've got a situation where the phones are sending out their signals searching and searching for a 4G tower, and that eats up your battery,' says Carl Howe, a vice president for research firm Yankee Group. The spottiness of 4G stems at least in part from the measured approach carriers have taken to it, rolling out the service city by city. There are a few tricks 4G users can try to extend battery life such as turning off your 4G connection when you don't need the fastest speeds — when using email, for instance — or using a program such as JuiceDefender to search for apps you may have downloaded that you don't need to run all the time, and erase them."
