He finished as the Bulldogs' all-time leading rusher and all-time leading scorer, and he set Butler single game, single season and career records for points, touchdowns and rushing yards. He was a four-year varsity letterwinner, a three-time Butler Offensive Most Valuable Player, a three-time, first team all-conference running back, a two-time Heartland Collegiate Conference Player of the Year and a two-time Kodak All-American! The talented tailback was a finalist (one of eight players) for the Harlon Hill Trophy, given to the best football player in the NCAA Division II, in both 1988 and 1989. He led the nation (NCAA Division II) in scoring in 1988, and he finished second in the nation in rushing in both 1987 and 1988. Roberts rushed for 4,623 yards in four seasons with the Bulldogs, becoming the only player in Butler history to rush for more than 4,000 yards, and he finished his career with 63 touchdowns and 386 points.

"With over 3 million downloads per episode, the HBO hit series Game of Thrones is without doubt the most pirated TV-show of the season. Data gathered by TorrentFreak shows that most of the pirates come from Australia, while London tops the list of pirate cities. But why have these people turned to BitTorrent?" Because in order to get it legally, I have to take a monthly subscription costing me €15 per month. So instead, I buy the season box sets as they come out, and download them every Monday morning in the meantime.

"[q]"Mass media" isn't known for having scenes of people kicking other people's heads off after unsuccessfully hacking away at the neck with a sword in broad daylight...
That is exactly what the mass-media is today ... "
Of course, that's why they cancelled shows like American Idol after Simon Cowell kicked the head off a contestant...
Mass media indeed. [/q]
I'd watch that.

2006-07 Men's Basketball
Bluffton 75, Heidelberg 73
Beavers nail 32-of-37 at charity stripe in 75-73 win over Heidelberg
By: Jordon Bruner, sports information assistant
November 25, 2006
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's basketball team hit 32-of-37 at the charity stripe to pull out a 75-73 victory over Heidelberg College on Saturday, November 25, 2006. Bluffton improved to 4-1 on the season, while the Student Princes fell to 2-2.
Heidelberg raced out to an early lead after Chad Szalay hit Shawn Shriver on a backdoor cut to give the Student Princes a 6-0 advantage.
Just like the night before, Bluffton used another run to pull even as they outscored the Student Princes by eight points over the next three minutes. Nate Overmyer (Payne/Wayne Trace) helped lead the surge with five points during that span.
Greg Tyson ended the Bluffton rally with a steal and a breakaway dunk to put Heidelberg back on top. Heidelberg extended that lead over the next five minutes of the game as another dunk by Tyson and back-to-back three pointers by Andrew Lemmon and Jake Hessey gave the Student Princes a 21-14 lead.
Bluffton's upperclassmen helped the Beavers climb back into the game. Senior Mike Anthony (Ohio City/Delphos St. John's) gave Bluffton its first lead when he took a pass from Colt Cunningham (Powell/Worthington Christian) and knocked down a trey to give the Beavers a 34-33 advantage. Overmyer continued his stellar play in the first half, scoring five straight points to help Bluffton go into the locker room with a 39-37 advantage.
Early in the second half, Bluffton went on a 10-0 run to grab a 49-40 lead with 15 minutes remaining in the game. Freshman Zack Kraus (Findlay/Findlay) led the Beavers with five points during that span.
A three-pointer by Josh Calver helped key a 19-6 run by Heidelberg over the next seven minutes of the game. Brian Schmidt's back-to-back layups helped the Student Princes regain the lead, 59-55, with seven minutes left in the game.
Anthony used strong drives to the hole to drop in consecutive baskets and help Bluffton tie the game at 61.
Down 70-69, Cunningham was fouled on a three-point attempt with the shot clock winding down and 26 seconds left on the game clock. Cunningham connected on all three, giving the Beavers a 72-70 lead, a lead they would not relinquish.
One play later, Anthony stripped a Heidelberg player and was fouled, sending him to the line for two shots. Anthony knocked down both shots to seal the victory. Bluffton showed no signs of reliving last night's woes from the free throw line as the Beavers were lights out over the last six minutes of the game. As a team, they shot 14-of-15 from the charity stripe during that stretch, helping Bluffton claim a 75-73 victory over the Student Princes.
Anthony led Bluffton with 17 points on the night, including a perfect 6-of-6 from the line. Overmyer contributed with 13 points, all of which were in the first half, while Kraus and P.J. Juenger (Loveland/Archbishop Moeller) each added 10 points.
Bluffton shot only 40 percent from the field (20-of-50) and 20 percent from beyond the arc (3-of-15). From the free throw line, they were an amazing 32-of-37, including 18-of-20 in the second half.
Bluffton returns to action on Tuesday, November 28, 2006, when it travels to Hiram College to face the Bulldogs. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Students Reflect On Workshop
ST. MARYS — A group of students visited a local service organization to tell members about their trip to an annual workshop.
Four St. Marys Memorial High School students attended the World Community Workshop last May — a workshop Rotary has put on since 1987.
"Each year, we sponsor four selected sophomores," St. Marys Rotary President Linda Vogel told her fellow Rotarians during the students' visit on Wednesday at the Eagles. "It is held at Defiance College in May every year."
Vogel noted each workshop is based on a country's theme.
"There is a pre-selected country they focus on — they have discussions on culture, customs, politics, things like that," she said.
Then, Memorial High School Principal Dave Lewis introduced the four students, who will be juniors when school begins next week: Neil Perry, Brooke Hertenstein, Sarika Sivagnanam and Kevin Dammeyer.
"We studied Italy this year," Perry said, noting he studied architecture in Italy. "We studied many ancient bridges."
One of the projects his group did was make a model showcasing Italian architecture.
"We made a bridge out of popsicle sticks based on the Italian bridges," Perry said, noting at the presentation at the end of the workshop, his group showed off their bridge.
Meeting people was a highlight of the workshop for Perry.
"We met a lot of good people," he said, noting they have kept in contact. "In that short period of time, we made a lot of good friends there."
Perry also thanked Rotary for sponsoring the students' trip.
Making friends was also a highlight for Hertenstein, who was in a group that focused on the history of Italy.
"I met friends there, and I'm still in contact with them through Facebook and texting," she said. "I'd encourage the next class to go. It was a fun time even though it was short."
Sivagnanam said she studied Italian art.
"I'm really into art, so that was good for me," she said.
Dammeyer said he was also in the history group and noted he studied Mussolini and World War II.
"We just hung out with really cool people," he said. "I really appreciate you guys sending us there. It was a really good time."
Lewis noted the students were selected because they were the top two male and the top two female students in the sophomore class.
"There were people there who had been to Italy and through that I really got inspired to get culturally aware with other parts of the world," Perry noted of something he took away from the experience.
Dammeyer said it also helped the students by doing a lot of group work.
"We did a lot of learning how to work effectively, more than we were used to — everything was working in a group of eight or nine people and giving a presentation at the end," he said.

iPhone Signal Strength Problems In the UK 202
An anonymous reader writes "British iPhone users, who bought the Apple phones when they went on sale in England on Nov. 9, are reporting persistent problems with signal strength on O2, the UK's only iPhone service provider. The complaints started only 2 days later. InfoWeek blogger Alex Wolfe says there's a debate as to whether O2 or the iPhone is at fault; it appears to be the handset, which is unusual since US users haven't reported similar problems. Some 02 customers report that getting a replacement phone fixes things; others have had to do a software restore back to version 1.1.2 of the iPhone software."

Never heard of dataoutagenews.com? Ever been stuck wondering if your BB connection is out, or is it just you? You may not have heard of them but chances are you have used, or gotten information because of them. They are a one of a kind site, not only posting if there is an outage but if its being resolved, or if it already has a trouble ticket submited. Dataoutagenews.com a sister site to Dataoutages.com provides all of us with the when, where, how long, how big of all data outages no matter how small they are, unlike Dataoutages.com which only reports on major outages. You can find them on twitter, and their own website where they have an outage calendar and an up to date blog. One big thing they have are their mailing lists, which range from BES Admin's to BB app dev's list. Anytime I have posted an outage on the site here, I check there first, we even link their sister site dataoutages.com from our data outage sub forum.
So now you are asking yourself whats the point of all this? Dataoutagenews.com is asking for help to keep their service running. While it seems out of sorts for a website to ask for money think of the time involved trolling the net for all the info required, or posting, or heck even opening the probably 100's of emails they receive. So if you can donate to a great cause, even a dollar can add up quick.

Hm, in Process Explorer: Options -> Tray Icons ...and there you can turn on RAM, CPU, I/O history. Also View -> Update Speed.
Yeah, good chips. Plus this is the first version of Athlon XP, 0.18 um Palomino. They were quite a something when launched; short ~half a year later also quite inexpensive already, and still very fast back then.
Too bad it didn't help AMD as much as it should; Intel was too strong with OEMs, influence on them...
Actually, I have somewhere a faster Socket A 0.13u Athlon XP / Sempron (or maybe even a fake, a remarked Geode, as described under the photo of the green one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sempron#Models_for_Socket_A_.28Socket_... ), just didn't bother to swap them yet.
And that K8-based Sempron might be faster than 2400+ XP, anyway.

To the editor:
Despite the beautiful weather over the Fourth of July weekend, elderly retirees in Illinois were anxious, waiting for the decision of a legislative committee on how much their pensions will be reduced on top of the significant increases in health insurance costs already imposed. The wait is agonizing because many retirees are totally dependent on their modest pensions; most state jobs are not covered by social security.
One policy option for solving the pension problem has been pointedly ignored, increasing revenue to repay the money the state took, irresponsibly, from the pensions. Political figures and commentators erroneously claim that state is already highly taxed so that a revenue increase for repayment of the debt to the pensions is off the table.
But the reality is that Illinois is a comparatively low-tax state.
How can people claim that Illinois's tax burden is high yet be wrong?
The answer is they are using data from the Tax Foundation, an organization that encourages states to compete with one another to lower taxes regardless of state deficits or the needs of the citizens. The claim that Illinois is a high-tax state comes from reports in newspapers that cite the Tax Foundation.
There is another, more neutral source of data. State tax administrators collect data in each state and report it online at http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/burden.html. This organization does not advocate any policy; it just reports on the numbers.
Their most recent data (from 2010) compares the tax burden state by state. Tax burden is calculated by adding together taxes and fees paid to the state and localities and dividing by income. Using tax administrators' data, Illinois ranks 42nd among the states. Illinois has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country.
While changes are needed in the Illinois state pension plans, there is no need for the state to renege on obligations to those already retired. The state can raise revenue, pay its bills and still maintain its relatively low tax burden.

Story highlights
- Top-10 stars Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia to tee off in Abu Dhabi Golf Championship
- McIlroy says he is "feeling good mentally" as he prepares to start his 2014 season
- Winning another major title in 2014 would make it a "remarkable" year for Mickelson
- World No.1 absent Tiger Woods absent from the $2.7m desert showdown
If a rain dance brings relief for one kind of drought then golfer Rory McIlroy might just be hoping a few traditional dance steps in Abu Dhabi might satisfy his thirst for another major title in 2014.
McIlroy and reigning British Open champion Phil Mickelson joined a local dance troupe swirling golf clubs instead of the traditional sticks in a dose of Al Razfa dancing.
The entertainment was a curtain raiser for this week's Abu Dhabi Golf Championship where McIlroy and Mickelson will tee off against fellow top-10 players Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia.
"That was a bit of fun and a great way to get into the rhythm of the season," said former world No. 1 McIlroy, who put a miserable 2013 season behind him with victory in the Australian Open in November.
"Some skilful finger work and balancing is needed. I suspect it's a bit like golf, practice, practice, practice."
McIlroy, a two-time major winner, seemed in buoyant mood as he prepares to knuckle down to the new season.
On New Year's Eve, the 24-year-old announced on Twitter his "first victory of 2014" as he revealed he was engaged to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
The pair have been dating since September 2011, but if media rumors were to be believed their romance has endured some difficult moments, particularly as both slipped down the rankings in their respective sports in 2013.
But McIlroy, now the world No. 7, told the media ahead of the Abu Dhabi tournament that he is feeling more focused, especially as a would-be married man.
"I'm not going to sit here and say that all the stuff going on off the golf course wasn't a distraction and say that it didn't affect me," McIlroy, who is involved in a court case with his former management company, told reporters. "Of course it did. You're thinking of other things when you really shouldn't have to.
Feeling good
"I don't think there can be a bigger decision you have to make than asking someone to marry you.
"If anything, it will only help to have that stability and knowing everything in that regard in my life is set.
"I'm feeling good about where I am mentally. I feel good with everything that's going on off the golf course, and it's hopefully shaping up to be a good year."
Mickelson has his own targets in mind as he begins his new season in Abu Dhabi. The American may have won his first British Open title last season but he had to swallow the agony of finishing as runner-up of the U.S. Open for a sixth time.
It is the only one of the four majors to elude Mickelson, denying him a career grand slam.
"Any major championship win would make the year special and memorable," Mickelson told reporters in Abu Dhabi.
"I do believe that I'll win a U.S. Open. I don't know if it will be at Pinehurst this year -- very well could be, or in the future. But any major championship would make 2014 a remarkable year."
Joining the quartet of top-10 players at the desert showdown are former winners Paul Casey from England, Germany's Martin Kaymer and Welsh defending champion Jamie Donaldson as well as major winners Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke and Ireland's Padraig Harrington.
The $2.7m prize pot attracts some of golf's big names to open their season under the desert sun of Abu Dhabi but the game's biggest cat Tiger Woods is not in attendance this year and the world No. 1 has yet to open his campaign.

Deciphering the 'language of sugars' to benefit health and industry
Tomato ketchup may have been commonly used in low-budget movies to simulate blood, but the two substances actually have more in common than might first appear. Both are fundamentally affected in the way they behave by the actions of complex sugar molecules. That link may seem technical and obscure, but it points the way to a potentially vast range of benefits for human society - if only science could better understand and harness the capabilities of these molecules.
It is not just ketchup and blood whose properties are dictated by complex sugars. Also known as polysaccharides, these complex sugars are by far the most abundant biomolecules on the planet. Produced biologically in plants, animals and microorganisms, they determine how cells behave in a multitude of ways. Sometimes, their role is structural, giving strength to plant cell walls. Sometimes they store energy. And they carry vital information by which cells 'communicate'. Human immune systems often recognise pathogens by the sugar structures on their surface.
The sheer diversity of the structures and capabilities displayed by complex sugars, together with the fact that they are natural materials and therefore biodegradable, makes them tremendously valuable to a range of industries. These include food and cosmetics, where they can be used as thickeners or emulsifiers, and the health and pharmaceuticals sectors. Back to that ketchup and blood comparison: one type of polysaccharide is used to achieve the correct viscosity in ketchup, while another helps to prevent blood coagulation in dialysis patients.
The problem is that the polysaccharides with the most useful properties are often produced by only a very few specific organisms, so supply is extremely limited. For PolyModE, therefore, the task was to maximise both the supply of these sugars, and their uses. Since polysaccharides act as the 'language' used between cells, the PolyModE team's primary challenge was to learn that language. This was no small matter. Whereas the language of genes famously makes use of just four 'letters', there are more than 20 letters in the language of sugars. Even worse, these can be linked in varying ways - and even with different 'accents'.
It was clear to the team that the key lay in the machinery used by the cells themselves to 'read' and 'write' their language – the enzymes. (Hence the name of the project: POLYsaccharide MODifying Enzymes.) If the project could identify, analyse and then produce these enzymes, the enzymes could be used to synthesise the most desirable polysaccharides. As well as boosting production of the polysaccharides that were in limited supply naturally, a further intended benefit was the generation of entirely new polysaccharides with improved properties.
Bringing together biologists, chemists, microbiologists, biochemists, molecular geneticists and biotechnologists from universities, biotech firms and food and pharmaceutical multinationals from around Europe, PolyModE has now identified its first 'reading' and 'writing' enzymes. These include an enzyme which can be used to modify chitosan, a polysaccharide derived from shrimps and crabs, into a form which carries out specific biological activities. This is now being tested for its ability to protect plants from disease - and it is possible it will also be able to influence wound healing in human tissue.
The consortium has also identified an enzyme which modifies low quality carrageenan - a polysaccharide derived from red algae and with various uses in the food and cosmetics industries - into a novel type of carrageenan never seen before. This is now being commercially evaluated.
"Enzymatically produced designer polysaccharides with defined properties will open up the all-but-untapped potential of complex polysaccharides not only for applications in the food and medical sciences, but also in agriculture, cosmetics and beyond," says PolyModE's project co-ordinator, Professor Bruno Moerschbacher of the University of Münster in Germany.
The first commercially available results of the project – the chitosan for plant disease protection – could be on the market within two years, says Professor Moerschbacher.

Editor's Note: Dean Iacovelli is the director for collaboration solutions for Microsoft State and Local Government. He is the business unit's former chief security adviser.
Ah, the pleasures of phone tag. We call a colleague and leave a voicemail. Then we miss the return call, listen to the voicemail and jot down a note. It can take days before we get the information we need, and it's a horrible waste of time for everyone involved. Email is better, but still has its challenges. Everyone is dealing with overflowing inboxes, struggling to prioritize responses. It's not uncommon for urgent messages to sit for hours within a bunch of unread emails. As more of what we do at work depends on input from other people, we're still using tools that make the collaboration and information gathering processes incredibly inefficient.
There's a simple way to test if your current methods are working: If you're reaching for a piece of paper, your communications process is broken. We shouldn't be jotting down voicemail notes and contact information in the 21st century. To avoid this, we need real-time insight into where our colleagues are, understanding their availability, and knowing how best to contact them at a particular time. Presence is understanding if a colleague is at his/her computer, in a meeting, on a conference call, or under a tight deadline, and using that information to make contact in the most efficient way.
Communications become truly unified when you combine this presence intelligence with a host of integrated workplace communications tools, including chat and video conferencing. So if your colleague is attending a conference call and can't speak on the phone, maybe an instant message chat makes the most sense. If a colleague is on a plane, you won't waste your time contacting them at all, saving time for both parties and ensuring your request reaches them at a time when they can respond. Presence technology includes notifications that automatically alert you when a colleague becomes available, eliminating those wasteful missed connections. Some may call it stalking, but I call it getting time back in my day. Workers also need the freedom to adjust communications methods on the fly, which is why integration is critically important to the idea of unified communications (UC). Modern technology tools enable users to transition easily between an IM, email, voice and conference calls to maximize efficiency. Maybe an email string with multiple parties has gotten too complex and requires a discussion. Integrated UC tools allow users to create a conference call or video conference involving those parties, with one click. Workers can turn an instant message into a phone call, or a voicemail into a text, depending on what's most effective in a given circumstance. Escalating from one form to another is how real conversations happen, and this integration makes the tools work more like you actually communicate.
These capabilities become even more critical as remote work increases. From telework policies to geographically distributed teams, we all increasingly work with people who don't work on our floor, in our building, or even in our state. Gartner believes that by 2015, 80 percent of work outcomes will depend on input from two or more people and that the work will rarely be done in-person. Remote work can lead to teams feeling disconnected, and can make collaboration more difficult. But tools like video conferencing and instant messaging can improve real-time collaboration. With UC, colleagues can have a conversation via video or IM while co-editing a spreadsheet or presentation — all in real time. And these more intimate forms of communication help to build relationships and help geographically dispersed teams build a great culture.
The rise of remote work also means that the era of expensive internal networks is quickly fading. Colleagues are regularly working across hotels, airports, coffee shops and their homes. We're all getting online any way we can, from wherever we are, and that means work is being done across a variety of networks with varying bandwidth and capabilities. We can't rely on tools that only work on the best networks. Workers need tools that allow them to be productive on any network. Networks are like roads — some are smooth, but others have potholes. Instead of trying to repave the world, it's better to buy a car that can handle any situation. For example, if you initiate a video chat on a network with fluctuating bandwidth that might not be able to reliably handle it, new UC tools recognize the flaw and immediately downshift to an audio conference but preserve the connection. We now have the power to be productive from anywhere and adapt to varying network conditions.
Some government organizations are already on board. While some have realized the benefits collaboration tools can bring, we still have room to grow. Telework can bring enormous cost savings and productivity increases, but there must be a cultural and mental shift in government. The notion that being in an office means you're working is no longer valid, because employees are more mobile now than ever before. In addition, the public and private sector must come together to develop regulations that are realistic. New policies on records management must evolve to accommodate these new methods of communication. People will continue to communicate as platforms shift and evolve, exploring new ways to use tools, and unified communications holds limitless possibilities for state and local governments. Organizations are moving in the right direction, but small changes can help us become even more efficient to best serve citizens.

Google acquired yet another social gaming company: SocialDeck. The start-up had an interesting idea: creating a platform for playing games on any device. "SocialDeck was founded in 2008 with the vision of enabling 'anywhere, anytime, anyone' gaming. The company has launched several titles for the iPhone, Facebook, and BlackBerry using its social gaming platform technology, which enables simultaneous game play across multiple mobile devices and social networks," explains SocialDeck's site.
It should be obvious that Google doesn't buy companies like SocialDeck to develop games. Most likely, Google wants to create a platform for social gaming that will enable users to play the same game on an Android device, on an iPhone, on a computer, on a Chrome OS tablet, in Google Me or any other social network that uses Google's platform.
Here's an overview of SocialDeck's gaming platform:

The article talks about the multi-device gaming platform (flash + just-in-time crosscompiled flash? or their own engine) which might well be interesting tech; but I'd like to see my contacts lists integrated right into Android contacts. That would be an Android killer feature to take some serious marketshare. Couple that with Google Voice and we get One platform to call them all... Unified Communications sure is a moving target though.ReplyDelete

they are not like maclin and jackson
Regardless of what Rex s saying now, the fact is that Gates was a terrible route runner last year. He rounded off his routes instead of sticking his foot in the ground and cutting. And when he ran an in/out, he would drift after he made his cut. If the play called for a 12 yard out, he'd make his cut after 12 yards, but by the time he reached the sideline he'd be 15+ yards downfield. It was a major problem.
If he's corrected his problems, that's fantastic news, but some of us are going to wait to see him do it in an actual game.
Why is it so hard to believe that talented WR's could improve on their TECHNIQUE? Cuz that's what we're really talking about here. I'm pretty sure that in both WR's exit interviews they were told about their flaws and what to work on and given instructions on how to improve. I'm sure they also focused on any flaws in their technique and my guess is that Marty is the kind of coach that would not allow sloppy routes in his offense. Precision is a hallmark of his offense. So i'm willing to give more credence to statements about improved routes when we never heard such praise about these WR's before. I'm pretty sure that if they stood out for their technique last year we would've heard about it.
This tendency to self hate is part of being a Jets fan that needs to be addressed. You can tell by the reports from the media this year that there's something different about the Jets this year. Before camp it was talk about the Circus being back and other negative things, but most of the reports have been positive which is more believable given the media's penchant for bashing the Jets.
Tell me you people aren't actually excited about Gates the III.... yeesh.
Two days ago no one even thought Gates would be on the final roster.
Now after the first two days of camp we're comparing him to Desean Jackson?
So you guys have hitched your wagon to bum knee Braylon, stone hands hill, and camp fodder gates as some type of stud trio of wide outs? It might be your worst wr group ever. Remind me of who will be getting the ball to these world beaters?
whoever it is it he will be better than whatever crap Buffoonalo runs out behind center again
Right now I''m loving Hill. If this kid can stay healthy, and fix his drops it won't matter if Holmes is done as a Jet, and we wouldn't have to bring in a Veteran. Hill and Braylon on the outside, Kerley in the slot will be a lethal combination. Winslow stays healthy combined with our new Gunslinger QB. Now defenses are going to have to respect our offense going down the field. Something they were not doing last year with weak armed McElroy and Mr.Buttfumbles at QB.
It seems like Gates is picking up on some of the little things now and he's worked on some subtle nuances that are essential in becoming a solid receiver but boy boy boy .. lets slow this down we're talking about TRAINING CAMP. Remember what Iverson said? PRACTICE? ... WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE MAN ... PRACTICE ....
Jackson/Maclin ... proven guys when the lights are on
Hill/Gates ... Practice Man ... we're talking about practice ..
Although Hill has showed some things in game action when healthy he's still VERY raw and Gates is doing his thing ins 7 on 7 drills ... Was he even wearing pads? Lets relax ... He's getting busy in SHORTS ...
Need to start somewhere. Baby steps are better than nothing with both players. It was good to read that Hill reeled in a long pass. Too often the Jets didn't have the deep threat to stop defender from stacking the box last season. Hopefully the Jets receivers can surprise on the upside this year.
The 2nd year is when nfl coaches expect the biggest jump in a young players performance.
I would not put any weight in anything Rex says publicly about a player.
All players are very raw when they start..hopefully Hill, Gates and others like Zach Rogers have the talent to get unraw in the NFL

Over the last several months, there has been a concerted effort throughout the community to improve Newton's "curb appeal."
The re-launch of the Newton Housing Development Corporation and the Downtown SSMID were important first steps. And, the development of the city's latest Comprehensive Plan has certainly set the stage for even more efforts in the near future.
The best way to deal with "curb appeal" issues is simple: be good neighbors. But, if we're going to be honest with ourselves as a community, we must acknowledge there also needs to be some level of enforcement involved.
Some people don't know how to be good neighbors. Some just aren't wired that way. And, there are a number of homes in our community in which we're not even sure who the "neighbor" is.
For these instances, the city has already enacted nuisance abatement ordinances. But, like all city ordinances, they must be reviewed and revised from time to time to meet the needs of the community in that moment.
Without these ordinances, Newton's "curb appeal" would be much worse.
The revised nuisance ordinances put before the Newton City Council address a number of key challenges, not the least of which are the many homes in the community in foreclosure, or with absentee owners. But it also streamlines the enforcement process and clearly identifies which city officials are responsible.
This will be vitally important as the city continues to recruit new employers to make Newton their home. It will draw more residents who may work in the Des Moines metro, but are looking for a smaller community to call home.
And while some departments of the city government are responsible for knowing and enforcing specific parts of the Newton Code of Ordinances, the citizenry is responsible for obeying all of it. Some parts can be quite complex.
How does the average citizen know what they can or cannot do, even on their own property?
For its part, the city has set out the Code of Ordinances in an easy-to-read format on its website, www.newtongov.org. Simply click on the "Government" tab, then on "City Code" on the drop-down menu that appears.
But, to be fair, more could be done to educate the community. The city must ensure those who do not have access to the website still have access to the information they need to know in order to be good neighbors.
Beyond that, the key factor will be enforcement. If the city does go forward with nuisance abatement ordinances that more stringent, and carry stiffer penalties, it must also be fully prepared to enforce them, to the letter, both fairly and even-handedly.
Everyone knows the old adage, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." And, it should be no surprise there will be some who use the ordinances as a means of "getting even" in neighborly disputes.
But, at the end of the day, that will only mean a more attractive community that draws business, industry and — most importantly — people to Newton.
In the long term, that's good for us all.
The preceding represents the opinion of the Newton Daily News Editorial Board. Letters to the editor in response may be submitted to email@example.com.

Water systems debate heats up in Coulee Dam
Greg Wilder and Coulee Dam Mayor Quincy Snow had a heated exchange at the town council meeting last Wednesday night.
Wilder appeared to ask why the town hasn't replied to his letter request of Oct. 10, 2011, for water service to a property he owns on 803 Yucca.
Wilder asked why he couldn't receive the same service offered to residents on the west side of the river, a request he has been pressing for sometime.
At one point Snow asked Wilder to sit down and got this reply: "You can be smug all you want, I have to put up with you."
In his letter to the council, Wilder wrote: "I am again requesting water service commensurate with that provided to/for the Town residents on the West side of the river. That is to say, I want a metered service for potable use, and an un-metered service for irrigation and non-potable use."
The town offers metered potable water and un-metered non-potable water for irrigation and toilet use on the west side.
To offset the un-metered service west siders receive, the town allows 10,000 cubic feet of water to residents before they receive extra charges for water consumption. That's a total of 74,800 gallons allowed before extra charges acrue.
The west side's doubled delivery system was turned over to the town when the federal government gave the property over to the municipal government.
Wilder stated that last year 75 residents on the east side paid an overcharge for water usage.
Not so, Councilmember Karl Hjorten stated.
"I went through 5,000 water bills from June 2010 to June 2011, and only found a handfull that overused the water allotment," Hjorten said.
Hjorten said he had contacted some of those residents with overages, who they said that they didn't have a problem with paying extra.
Former council member Bonnie Fleming tried to explain that the issue was addressed while she was on the council, and that the majority of those attending a town hall meeting were comfortable with the way it was handled.
She said that the council had to consider the cost of developing a separate non-potable water system for the east side.
Wilder has charged that the town is breaking the law by charging differently for the two areas. He, in his letter, cited RCW 35.92.010, which states, in part: "In classifying customers … the city or town governing body may in its discretion consider any or all of the following factors: The difference in cost of service to the various customers; location of the various customers within and without the city or town …"
Mayor Snow told Wilder that the town would look at his service request for his Yucca property and respond by letter.

Three boys have been identified as the suspects who telephoned in a bomb threat at the Walmart store on Highway 24 in Woodland Park.
According to reports from the Woodland Park Police Department, their dispatch center with the assistance of Verizon Wireless traced the bomb threat call to Pennsylvania.
Police in Woodland Park contacted the Harrison Township Police Department in Pennsylvania and they responded to the address in Natrona Heights.
One 15-year-old boy admitted to making the prank calls, along with two others. At this time no charges have been placed and the case remains open.
Friday night the Walmart in Woodland Park was evacuated when a bomb threat was called into the store around 10:30. A bomb squad found no suspicious devices in the building and the store reopened around 2 a.m.
The Woodland Park incident was just one of several calls to Walmart stores in three states over the weekend.
The Walmart on Platte and Chelton in Colorado Springs was also closed for several hours while the bomb squad and police canines searched for anything suspicious. They found nothing suspicious and gave the all-clear a little before 7 p.m.
Bomb threats were also reported Saturday afternoon at Walmarts in Commerce City, Colo., Great Bend and Salina, Kansas, and stores in Oklahoma. Right now Springs police can't say if the threats are connected, but the investigation continues.
"We were checking out at the register and somebody came running down the aisles yelling 'evacuate, everybody evacuate,'" said Springs shopper Barbara Gould.
Some customers even had to leave their groceries behind.
"It's a little intimidating, certainly is. Something we're not expecting, just coming here to shop," said shopper Bobby Gill.
One customer told 11 News while it was time-consuming to evacuate, she would rather they be safe than sorry.
"I'd rather for them to try to save my life and be a little rude, than to be nice and have me blow up," said shopper Loletta Fair.

Sporting News Saints Giants Matchup and Prediction
The Giants have lost five consecutive games and scored one touchdown in each of those defeats. . . .
The Saints, losers of two of their past three, have missed a golden opportunity to get back in the NFC South race. While they were losing, the Panthers kept the door open by losing their past three. . . .
Deuce McAllister continues to be the NFL's most explosive running back. In 13 games, McAllister has 1,462 yards, passing his total of 1,388 yards in 2002, and he'll have an opportunity to continue adding to his stats against a Giants defense that has lost its will. . . .
The Giants will be in even more trouble if quarterback Kerry Collins, who left last week's game on a stretcher as a result of an ankle injury, can't play. The results of his MRI were negative, but his status might not be determined until late in the week. If he can't go, which is starting to look more likely, the Giants will need to start Jesse Palmer, who has played in mop-up duty in only five games during his three-year NFL career.
Giants Keys For Success
1. Use three- and five-step drops to protect Collins or Palmer. If Collins is healthy enough to go, he will be playing on a bad ankle behind a young and inexperienced offensive line that is struggling mightily in pass protection. As a result, the Giants have needed to and must continue to simplify their protection schemes by leaving in backs and tight ends to block, so Collins rarely has had the luxury of seven-step drops. This makes the threat of a vertical passing game almost non-existent. The key for Collins or Palmer will be to get back in short drops, get the ball out quickly and negate an improving Saints pass rush that brings good pressure off the edges. The Giants' perimeter protection simply can't hold up enough for Collins or Palmer to go deep, so they will need to resort to short passes such as quick-hitters and hitches.
2. Get Tiki Barber involved in the passing game. Saints linebackers do not excel in coverage, and their coaches like to blitz them up the middle.
The Giants aren't able to establish a ground game because of their inability to open holes for Barber, so they must get the ball to him with short passes. Look for the Giants to get Barber matched up on a linebacker, where he can use his quickness and elusiveness to make something happen after the catch.
3. Play disciplined, gap-responsibility defense up front. The Giants are thin in the secondary because of injuries and inconsistent play. As a result, they are using four-man rushes while dropping seven into coverage to protect their safeties and cornerbacks. This puts pressure on the front four, who at times lack discipline and will be over-aggressive in their pursuit.
The Giants do not tackle well, and their pursuit angles will leave holes and running lanes to exploit. They must not over-pursue or allow the Saints to seal the backside and open cutback lanes, which are McAllister's bread and butter.
Saints Keys For Success
1. Stay patience with the running game. McAllister impresses us more each time we see him because of his patience and ability to follow his blocks. Saints offensive linemen are doing a better job on trap plays, and they are effective on pulls and in getting to the second level.
McAllister waits to hit the hole and seems to have great faith in fullback Terrelle Smith and his linemen. As a result, he is becoming very effective on cutback and misdirection plays.
Aggressive, over-pursuing defenses struggle against McAllister. The Giants are struggling to make things happen, and the Saints should be able to create lanes and take advantage of inconsistency in gap responsibilities.
2. Quarterback Aaron Brooks must be focused. A notoriously slow starter, Brooks takes time to get into a game. He makes early mistakes, and the Saints get behind more than they should. When that happens they are forced to abandon the run and McAllister.
The Saints' best chance for success is to establish their running game early and help Brooks limit his mistakes. In what has become a run-first, pass-second offense, Brooks must be more of a caretaker rather than a quarterback who carries the attack.
3. Use combination coverage. Without tight end Jeremy Shockey in the lineup, the Giants cannot spread the field or force the Saints into nickel and dime packages. Cornerbacks can play aggressive coverage on wide receivers Amani Toomer and Ike Hilliard, using press techniques without worrying about deep passes.
The Saints can take Toomer and Hilliard out of the game and not put man-to-man coverage on other players. They will play aggressive in short and intermediate areas and depend on safety help deep downfield.
Injury Update
TE Jeremy Shockey: Knee (12/9).
Shockey told the New York Daily News that his knee feels better and that he plans to play again this season. Coach Jim Fassel seems to disagree, however, and will list him as doubtful.
WR Tim Carter: Concussion (12/9).
Carter will be listed as doubtful this week, according to the New York Daily News. He has had concussion problems in recent weeks.
WR Ike Hilliard: Knee (12/9).
Coach Jim Fassel told the New York Daily News that Hilliard (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday.
QB Kerry Collins: Ankle (12/9).
The New York Daily News reports Collins is likely to miss Week 15. His sprained ankle has him on crutches, and coach Jim Fassel said Jesse Palmer probably will start.
WR Michael Lewis: Ankle (12/6).
Lewis practiced on a limited basis on Thursday, and his status for Sunday's game vs. Tampa Bay will be a game-time decision.
WR Donte' Stallworth: Ankle (12/7).
Stallworth (ankle) isn't active for Week 14.
The Bottom Line
Mediocre results have ruined these teams' hopes. On both offense and defense, the Giants are underachieving and have been devastated by injuries. The Saints have become one-dimensional, relying heavily on McAllister because their potentially explosive passing game has no consistency.
The key will be the Saints' ability to run the ball, control the clock and wear down the Giants with McAllister. If McAllister has success early, the Giants will overcompensate to stop the run, which is when they get into trouble. Brooks should be able to exploit man-to-man coverage vs. a thin secondary, especially off play-action.
The Giants cannot play from behind. Their best chance is to hope McAllister fails to dominate and keep this a slow, low-scoring game.
Neither team is great, but the Saints have the difference-maker in McAllister.
Pick: Saints 20, Giants 13

Deuce McAllister has been one of the league's hottest running backs this season, but the way the Buccaneers defended him last week may have painted a blueprint for the Giants this week. The Bucs loosened up their linebackers and had them play much deeper than usual to prevent frequent cutback runs by McAllister.
The Saints do a good job of starting in one direction with the run, led by fullback Terrelle Smith, and most defenses overpursue, allowing the offensive line to seal off the backside and give McAllister room to run when cutting back. The Giants' front four has clearly been worn down and that puts much pressure on their linebackers to make plays vs. the run.
The dilemma for the Giants is how to defend the running game. Ordinarily they could bring in a safety to the box and play man-to-man on the perimeter, but because of a depleted secondary, they will need to rush only four and drop seven to protect their defensive backs. The Saints had good success early in the season using three-wide receiver sets to push defenses into nickel packages, and then they would come back and run the ball between the tackles against six-man fronts. Because of recent injuries to Donte' Stallworth and Joe Horn, however, the Saints have struggled to put three able wideouts on the field at the same time.
As a result, the Saints will be hard-pressed to have much success in the vertical passing game vs. the Giants' soft coverage. Aaron Brooks should have ample time to throw the ball, however, as the Giants cannot afford to blitz often. Crossing routes, slants and similar routes should work well, because they will get the ball to the Saints' receivers in stride against New York's replacement defensive backs, who are untested open-field tacklers.
In addition, the Saints' new go-to receiver has become tight end Boo Williams, who can exploit man-to-man matchups on either Giants safety. Patience is key in both the running and passing games. The Saints may not get many big plays, but if they play with discipline, they can sustain long drives and control the flow of the game.

With Kerry Collins likely missing this game with a high ankle sprain he suffered last week vs. the Redskins, the Giants' struggling offense is set to be in the hands of backup Jesse Palmer. The Giants drafted Palmer in the fourth round in 2001. While he has shown progress and flashes of developing into a good No. 2 quarterback in exhibition play, Palmer has played in only five regular-season games to spell Collins in mop-up duty.
Palmer has a quick release and a strong arm. He has good pocket presence, feels the rush and has adequate mobility to buy extra time. He isn't much of a threat to run, however, and is a very streaky thrower who can get erratic when he goes cold. He also tends to panic under pressure and make bad decisions when rushed, which aren't good traits to have behind the Giants' struggling offensive line.
The last thing their offense needs is more turnovers. The Giants have been plagued by giveaways in the running game, as they lost two more fumbles last week. Tiki Barber, who continues to struggle with ball security, lost one of those fumbles.
Another problem is the Giants' lack of strong blocking on the second level. Barber isn't a power back and gets little yards after initial contact. The Saints' front seven is undersized and tends to wear down vs. a physical north/south rushing attack, but the Giants don't have that capability with Barber as their featured back. Look for the Saints to load up inside to make Barber run wide, where the pursuit can contain him.
The passing outlook isn't much better with Palmer at the helm. The Saints will play primarily soft coverage schemes because of injuries and the resulting lack of depth in their secondary. They still will blitz often enough and the Giants' pass protection is a great target.
Look for the Giants to use three- and five-step drops and a quick-hitting passing game that allows Palmer to get rid of the ball quickly in an attempt to negate the blitz. That means plenty of underneath and crossing routes in front of the soft coverage, so wide receivers Ike Hilliard and Amani Toomer will need to make something happen after the catch. The Saints' safeties have had problems in coverage, so if the Giants can find them in man-to-man situations, it could lead to some big plays. Palmer will need to play with better discipline and make some good decisions for that to happen.

Billy Lyell (19-3) beat Duddy (26-1) in a split decision that went the full ten rounds. A journeyman fighter from Ohio, Lyell came into the bout at the Prudential Center in Newark a heavy underdog against hometown favorite Duddy, who was born in Ireland but lives in Western Queens.
The fight was billed as a tune-up for Duddy, who before the loss was on the shortlist for a middleweight title match against reigning champion Kelly Pavlik. Chances the fight, which was much anticipated, will take place are as yet unclear, but many believe Duddy's career is essentially over.
Lyell came out hitting hard, with more energy from the start than his opponent. After trading punches over the first three rounds, Lyell opened a deep cut above Duddy's right eye in the fourth. Duddy never seemed to fully recover, though his trainers stopped the bleeding between rounds.
In the fifth, however, Duddy managed to retaliate by moving closer to fight the shorter Lyell inside, delivering a combination of heavy punches that opened a wide gash on the bridge of Lyell's nose.
Bleeding heavily for the rest of the fight, which continued for five more rounds, the tough Youngstown fighter went on the offensive, refusing to give Duddy an inch in the ring. Lyell's career prospects were instantly raised with the upstart win. When it was announced, an ecstatic Lyell jumped into his trainers arms as Duddy looked on in disbelief.
Speaking to the press after the fight, a tired but courteous Duddy promised to train even harder for his next fight, whenever that might be.
"Billy came out with his guns blazing," said Duddy. "I just wasn't shooting on all cylinders."
"I'm looking forward to get back to the gym again," he added.

Submission + - Google Adds Licensing Server DRM to Android Market (afterdawn.com)
eldavojohn writes: According to AfterDawn, Google has given app makers the option to use a license server as DRM to ensure the user has paid for an app before they can download it. The report is that the market app will communicate with a Google license server using RSA encryption. It is important to note this is only available for non-free apps (built with SDK 1.5 and later) and it is instituted to provide a better solution to the old and widely criticized copy protection scheme that was criticized as susceptible to Android app piracy (like sideloading). For better or for worse, Android's Marketplace appears to now have an optional phone-home form of DRM.

Please welcome Bion Donkova, intrepid airship captain from Mary Wine's A Captain and A Corset. After the interview, enter for a chance to win a copy of A Captain and A Corset!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in five words or less.
[Bion Donkova] Right. Always Right. Never, ever wrong. Ms. Stevenson calls me arrogant. I believe she is ignorant of the world. But that is a given, she's been raised with the narrow views of Victorian society.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you share a typical day in the life of Bion Donkova?
[Bion Donkova] Dedication to duty. I set a goal to become a Navigator and it is something only achieved by the best. My skills in piloting an airship must be above excellent. Security is a chief concern, so Asian fighting skills are a must and they require daily training periods. Now I have the added duty of instructing Ms. Stevenson in the arts of being a Navigator. I do not mind mentoring her but she is stubborn.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words come to mind when you think of Sophia?
[Bion Donkova] Stubborn, Unfairly fortunate. She encountered a Root Ball, which transformed her sight. It's something I have been working toward for years and she stumbled upon.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What was the first thing that you noticed about her?
[Bion Donkova] Madam, that is not fit for public discussion.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you could change one thing you've done in your life, what would it be?
[Bion Donkova] Hummm, I believe that would involve the night that my good friend Sven and I went drinking at the Red Petticoat. I would decline the wager to seduce the madam who ran the upstairs establishment. Who might have guessed that so petite a woman might have leg irons secured so firmly to the sides of her bed?
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What's one thing you won't leave home without?

[First off, thank you for a record day on the blog yesterday. Incredible how a little actual football news turns this blog into a monster. GRRRRR! Anyway, continue to stay here or return here often throughout the day as the Dolphins continue to operate in stealthy fashion while folks like me chase what's going on from other less-than-perfect, agenda-driven angles. What can I say? You get shut out, you do what you have to do.]
Now to the news and analysis:
Tyler Thigpen is a Buffalo Bill. He has agreed to join that team in return for a three-year contract that gives him a chance to compete for a starting job against Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick will win that competition. The deal sends Thigpen packing after a year and a half in Miami and reunites him with Buffalo coach Chan Gailey, who was Thigpen's offensive coordinator in Kansas City in 2008 when Thigpen enjoyed his best NFL season.
Even though the Dolphins showed casual interest in keeping Thigpen, I do not see this as a big loss, folks.
I know many of you thought Thigpen had potential to chase a starting job. Me? I shared that thinking until he got on the field in 2009 against Pittsburgh and last year against Chicago and was ineffective both times. Thigpen has the gift of adding spark. You see it when he enters a game and the pace picks up.
But Thigpen also is cursed with inconsistency. He'll lead an energy-lifting touchdown drive on one possession. And throw an interception and go three-and-out on the next two possessions.
Thigpen lovers will say that inconsistency in Miami was a result of his little opportunity to work with the first-team offense. Great, so explain his similar inconsistency in Kansas City when he was the starter for 11 games.
So the Dolphins will have a new backup quarterback for 2011.
They're also trying to add a new starting quarterback for 2011.
Hear that, Chad Henne? Hear that Henne supporters?
I have confirmed that Miami is heavily involved in trying to add Kyle Orton while various reports which I've not been able to independently confirm have linked the Dolphins to Matt Hasselbeck. I can see the Orton thing. I don't understand the Hasselbeck fling one bit.
[7:45 AM update: The Hasselbeck fling is not a thing in Miami after all. He is going to the Tennesse Titans. That obviously limits the Dolphins to a focus on Orton with a possible fallback being Marc Bulger or Vince Young.]
Orton is better than Chad Henne, or at least has been the past two years. Is he the man? Is he a franchise quarterback? No. Does he have a superstar arm? Can he escape the rush and turn disaster into dynamics? No.
But he's better than Chad Henne.
And right now, that seems to be good enough for the Dolphins who at last check were hopeful of adding Orton in trade from the Denver Broncos. Problem right now is the Broncos apparently have at least one other team on their line and are trying to reel in the highest draft pick compensation possible.
I do not know the specifics of what the Dolphins have offered (if anything, officially) but I understand the Broncos were asking for a first-round pick initially and are seeded in the second-round asking price of late. Really, Denver? A second for Kyle Orton?
The Dolphins aren't quite ready to do that, apparently. I hope they don't have to at that price. I would more comfortably understand yielding a conditional pick in which Miami gives up a fourth-rounder that could be a third if Orton takes the team to the playoffs, and maybe a second if he advances them to the AFC title game perhaps. (Yes, improbable, but I'm a dreamer.)
Bottom line: Be it either Orton or Hasselbeck, the point is clear the Dolphins are trying to add a veteran quarterback whose resume is superior to Chad Henne's because, well, they are trying to replace Chad Henne even if it's on a short-term basis.
Good for Miami.
Henne is young. He is talented. He has potential. But he has not earned the right to go into training camp unchallenged. He was benched in the 2010 season-finale, if you remember, the second time in the season he suffered that fate. That does not translate to, as some of you have suggested, "sticking with Henne to see if he develops."
The Dolphins are not afforded the luxury of seeing if Henne develops. Both Tony Sparano and Jeff Ireland want to, have to, win now to secure the footing underneath themselves. Banking on Henne to either develop or flop for a third consecutive season is not the most certain way to secure one's footing.
Henne should be watching this and understanding. He must realize he still has a chance to win the job if he, well, wins the job. But he must realize this isn't 2010 when the job was simply handed to him without a competition.
The hope here is this itself makes Henne better. Nothing like a realistic view of the situation to sober the spirit and steel the mind. Would be nice if it improves the decision-making and long-range accuracy, also.
By the way, regardless of whom the Dolphins add -- and it will not be Donovan McNabb as some of you lobbied for -- the idea is not simply to hand over the job. Sure, Orton or Hasselbeck come with reputations. But the Dolphins can still sell the competition idea to the public and Henne.
That can only make everyone better.
Follow me on twitta, as they say in Boston.

I think if you approach your spiritual "problem" with the approach learned in your class, you would have no stress/worry over your spiritual identity. I suppose this could go two ways and splinter from there. There are no easy answers.
Let's say the problem is resolved by you suddenly falling back in line with the traditional Christian beliefs you were raised with. Your parents won't be disappointed and you won't have the guilt that's nagging at you. That's really no good for you, I think , and I believe you'd agree with me. It's akin to Jack Nicholson getting a lobotomy at the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest just so he doesn't act up for Nurse Ratched and company. It's ALWAYS best to follow one's own heart.
On the other hand, the problem could be resolved by you being comfortable in your new intuitive beliefs and knowing your family is supportive of you finding your faith as a human. Unfortunately, the only way to know this is to find yourself and calmly and rationally explain your beliefs to your parents...yes, they may not react well, but they will hopefully respect your decision and still love you. Admittedly, I haven't done the same with my family so I should practice what I preach here, but I've found that my parents are much more understanding than I had anticipated once I finally approach a tough subject.
Again, I wish you the best of luck and hope you find some peace with yourself. Know that there are others (like me) in the same boat. You're not alone by any stretch of the imagination.

Your anxiety at this moment in time is completely of your own making. You are worrying about something your family is not even aware of. Trust me, it's so easy to imagine worst case scenarios and to be fatalistic with things. Your family may react negatively and cause you stress. However they might not.
To help yourself right now, take a deep breath and look at the positives of whatever you decide. Don't focus on the worst because odds are, the worst won't come.That's why they call it "the worst" and not "the usual". If you are comfortable with your thoughts and feelings, sit down and discuss it rationally. Respect your parents and show that you've thought it all out well and thoroughly and they'll appreciate your honesty and hopefully accept it.

[QUOTE=saribeth95;266867]The thing that I don't know is, does my anxiety come from me, or does it come from my family's response? And what about this whole situation can I change right now, myself?[/QUOTE]
No one is ever responsible for how we feel at any given time. I would suggest that your anxiety may be coming from your apprehension to take that next step in your unfoldment... and your apprehension arises from guilt rather than loyalty. Anxiety is always sure to follow the denial of a True inner urge. But having never met you it would be rather presumptious to assume anything.
Nonetheless, the only "thing" we can ever change at any given time is how we *accept* the experiences we have in consciousness. When we experience anxiety (or any emotion we no longer find usefull), we can rest in the knowledge that, "this need not be". The fact is people will always respond in the ways they have conditioned themselves to believe. Your responsibility here is to unfold YOUR truth, not those of your parents, friends or church. The only thing that you can change right now, yourself, is your own mind.

I must say that I can relate to your situation in many ways.
I was raised in a very conservative Christian home. My family all still claims to be christian, and my mother is especially "hard core" if you will. Growing up I never really fully accepted the beliefs - of course, I went along with it all and really tried to convince myself, but I never really could. I felt (and still do) that the Bible is misinterpretted, and is definitly written and interpretated from a male perspective, and the cultural glasses only get put on when people choose to so it fits their beliefs.
After finally moving across the country and getting away from my family I started taking a lot more time to look into how I really felt - although I had started this before the move through some college classes, I didn't give it too much thought. I've actually began doing a lot more research, and have started to adopt a much more Zen Buddhist style of thinking.
For me, I am still in the process. My outlook has changed, but after nearly 20 years in a christian enviroment (we were homeschooled, too, so it permeated everything in my life) I find it hard to completely abandon it. My husband, although pretty liberal (religiously speaking), still enjoys going to church, so I still go with him. He at least supports me despite my differing views, and we can have candid conversations about it. For the most part, he actually agrees with me, just isn't as willing to leave that community yet.
I have not told my mother or family - not outright anyways. I already know how my mom would react as I've seen her reactions with other people - and her oldest daughter going down some other path? Yup, don't even want to deal with it. I do, however, allow some of my ideas to infilitrate our conversations, and I have gotten pretty good at stating my viewpoint and still "sounding" christian. It's a deceptive way of dealing with it, but for me, the fights and arguements and having to defend myself for the rest of my life are not worth it, and this is an alternative that works for now.
It's not going to be easy. I get torn between what I know is right for myself, and what has been shoved down my throat my entire childhood (and then some). I have friends who are in the christian community and it would be hard to lose them - many would not be accepting of my revised outlook. Of course, they'd stay friendly, but their motives would be to "bring me back," not to be my friend. You want to know the sad part? I was the one who got my husband back into the church when we dating! He had walked away and had no interest in gracing another church, and I convinced him to give it a try again! Now, I'm wanting him to leave again - life sure is interesting to say the least!

You are definitely expressing a lot of what I am going through, pjindy. That is dead on when you talk about your friends that would probably try to "bring you back" rather than pursue real friendship. I know that was my sentiment when I considered myself to be a strong evangelical Christian. If I had a friend who was "astray" I would take them out for coffee or whatever in the hopes of sharing God's love and bringing them back, rather than seeking a give and take friendship.
I guess it stresses me out a little that you still haven't really been able to make peace with your family about religion. Something in me kind of hoped that I would soon be able to do so, but it sounds like our families are very similar (in particular the moms) , not to say that every situation is the same, but I think that it may be one of those things that I won't be able to be totally get across to them. But who knows. Life, and people, often do whatever you don't expect. I can definately relate as well to the idea of responding to stuff while still sounding Christian. It makes sense, because whether we choose to practice/ believe it now or not, its still a huge part of our growing up and foundation.
Another thing I think is interesting is the idea of marriage/dating and how it influences religion. As I mentioned in my first post, in some ways a lot of this searching really took flight when I started dating my boyfriend over a year ago. He grew up in the church as well (but elca, not evangelical, so huge difference) but is agnostic. He has challegned me so much in my beliefs and ideas. Its so funny because I was drilled for years to date/marry men who loved Jesus more than me, putting God at the center of my relationship, etc. So unfortunately, the breadth of our relationship is also something I can't be fully honest with my parents about because I don't think its what they want for me. But I don't regret it. He's helped, and helping me understand myself so much better and what I actually believe. It is really funny how you were the one who got your husband back to church and now you are wanting him to leave. Spirituality and religion in relationships is an interesting thing to discuss and ponder. Do our relationships impact our religion, or vice versa? Or both?
Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience:)

Hi all
Having read all your posts, I can certainly empathise with you all.
I had an evangelical background myself, but hand on heart, I can't say that they caused me any problems and my leaving the church was on their advice. Any guilt feelings I had were self induced.
We all have an individual spiritual path to follow and the need is that families and friends should honour that. But I'm afraid that often they don't. Try being non-judgemental towards them and see how they react. Try being more loving towards them and this will dispel the fear.
One question is, does spirituality need to be religious and what do you consider to be religious?
There is nothing wrong with the need for spirituality combined with not having a need for religion. It's the spirituality that's important. However, religion is important to some and so we should be tolerant and allow them to be this way as free will is the rule for us and them also.
I have found that Jesus is still there without the trappings of religion and he will be for you if you allow Him to do so.
I hope that this has been of some help.

[QUOTE=saribeth95;215924]Hi- just wanted to share my story to see if anyone could relate/had any advice.
I am probably your stereotypical postmodern college student, but I guess that doesn't make my journey any less valuable.
I was raised in a very strong Christian home- my siblings and I all "asked Jesus into our hearts" at age 5, went to Sunday School every week, and even protested at Planned Parenthood. I grew up with a very supportive, loving, conservative church family.
In junior high, I started to question the conservative politics that are ingrained in the evangelical church and went through a long period of questioning. By high school, I was able to resolve this to combine conservative religious beliefs with liberal political practices. I remained a leader at church and had a heart for not only evangelizing but also just making the world better.
My first semester of college (a fairly liberal Lutheran school) I remained strong in my faith, but after my grandpa (who was not "saved") died, I really began to question a system in which a good guy like my grandpa would spend eternity in hell simply for his beliefs.
Looking at it from a conservative viewpoint, I guess you could say my fall out of the church has continued since then as I spent a month at a very liberal mission center in urban California, started dating an agnostic, shared in conversation with friends going through similar experiences, and recently spent 5 months in Argentina, where I realized that families be loving and functional as agnostic/atheist.
I have found some peace within the emergent church, but everytime I go back to my old home church I feel manipulated into believing something to avoid hell.
Right now I feel more confused than ever- stuck between an opening mind to new religious experiences and ideas, and a very deep rooted fear of hell and of disappointing my parents, who want more than anything for me to have a strong relationship with Jesus, and, well, go to heaven.
I was hoping that someone would have a similar experience or some kind of advice.
There is no hell and no devil and no satan, the satan being just a symbol for our personal Ego.
You are doing yourself a disservice whenever you return to your home church. They are very against you learning to think for yourself, or even to question them.
See Matt. 12:31 All sins will be forgiven.......... so, given that all sins will be forgiven, who then would go to hell? There is no place in the bible that discusses the creation of hell. The idea came from Germanic tribal mythology.

Hi saribeth and anybody else reading these posts!
I won't bore you with my story as it has more or less already been covered by the previous posts. As Bob above more or less stated, you now have the ability to think for yourself. When we are strictly raised in the religion of our parents, we just accept it all as gospel. (No pun intended!) I married out of the Catholic church so was more or less excommunicated. That suited me fine as I had never found anything at all in Roman Catholicism. I briefly dabbled with pentecostalism but always felt most out of place in it. For years I didn't bother with religion at all, then realized I was probably denying myself spiritually and was attracted to Buddhism. To cut a long story short, when I wasn't looking to find God at all, he arrived dramatically , very recently with a call to Islam. It's not as if I had researched it at all. I was simply reading sites about it out of interest to appease a Muslim friend. It sounds corny to say I was overcome with emotion, something I couldn't really understand, but I read it as a Call and have finally found what I'd failed to find within any other religion. I don't think you should worry about what anybody else thinks of your decisions. You are not answerable to anyone else, your family incuded. When you are not worrying about what everyone else thinks you should do, you are free to make up your own mind. Take your time and smell the flowers! :) I never thought I would find myself where I am today spiritually and I like what I feel.

Other companies such as Delta Airlines, Texaco, Dow Corning, K-Mart, United Airlines, Toys R' Us, Macy's Department Stores and others have emerged from Chapter 11 protection after restructuring themselves for success. We intend to do the same.

Novell doesn't stand to get much more than SCO's furniture
Let us take a moment to remember SCO, and all that they did for us. For yea, they did take douchebaggery to new heights, and may their executives never again find work, and their lawyers develop sores. May their stockholders be infested with fleas in places they cannot scratch, and the offices that they occupied cursed for all time. As we prepare to bury this pitiful excuse for a company in the grave of history, may its death continue to be slow and painful.

SCO owns the core UNIX operating system, originally developed by AT&T/Bell Labs and is the exclusive licensor to UNIX-based system software providers
Actually, that might just be true. The second part (exclusive licensor) is true, actually. The first part depends on what "owns the core UNIX operating system means". It's pretty clear they don't own the copyrights on AT&T UNIX, and the definitely don't own the UNIX trademarks, but you could interpret "exclusive licensor" as "owner" without too much stretching.
In any case, whatever they are or are not, they're not going to continue being for too much longer.

I'll be happy to liquidate it for them. Imagine being able to sell SCO office furniture on eBay? Along with a certificate of authenticity. Heck, I'd bid on a piece myself. It's like owning a piece of the Titanic of tech history.
For those of you who don't follow this mess, SCO voluntarily went into bankruptcy in September, the day before the SCO vs. Novell trial was to start. This stopped that case. For about two months. Novell asked the bankruptcy judge to let their case continue. After frantic maneuvers from SCO, which went nowhere, the bankruptcy judge let the Novell case proceed. It will go to trial in January or February. The only remaining issue there is how much money SCO owes Novell. SCO already lost on the "who owns UNIX copyrights" issue; Novell owns them.
The IBM and Red Hat cases are still pending, so if anybody wants to buy up SCO (the company's entire market cap is only $2.4 million today), they'd be stuck with those potential liabilities, on top of the Novell liability. That's why nobody is snapping up the remains of the company.
Plan on visiting the liquidation auction some time next summer.
Businesses may used Chapter 7 bankruptcy to liquidate or Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganize their business and repay their debts over a period of years under a "plan." Business that want to continue as going concerns must use Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
So no used furniture for Novell, SteveB or anyone else. IANAL, but IIRC on the plus side Chapter 11 doesn't discharge debt

Advent Calendar - December 9 – Grab Bag
When Santa came Christmas Eve, he would stuff our stocking with wrapped gifts and leave "the big gift" unwrapped under the tree. I was always perplexed though. Santa used the same wrapping paper as my parents. I just didn't get it.
When we had a family of our own, I was determined not to leave any question whatsoever as to the genuineness of Santa Claus. Special wrapping or tissue paper was purchased and hidden. Any gifts that went into the stockings must have different wrapping paper from presents under the tree. We laugh about it now but apparently I was successful.

I had to laugh when I read this. I too lived in fear of my kids figuring out that all the wrapping paper was the same, and while we didn't leave presents under the tree during the days leading up to Christmas, they always helped wrap presents for Dad and Mom and therefore saw the "stash" of wrap. When this question came up, I simply told them that Santa couldn't possibly provide all the gifts AND the wrapping paper so I always left some out for him to use - just in case. Then the bigger question - why does Santa write just like Mommy? - kids are too smart :)ReplyDelete
Clap, clap, a Santa after my own heart. Creative.ReplyDelete
My mom, and now my husband and I, always use separate Santa paper from everything else. I think it helped keep the mystery alive for me and my sister longer. I hope it works that well for my own girls.ReplyDelete
We must all be on the same page....lol When I was a child, Santa rarely wrapped the presents, so I was determined to have all my children's gifts from Santa wrapped...ribbon....bows...the whole nine yards. I don't know if it kept the secret of Santa for them or not.ReplyDelete
We always kept special Santa wrapping paper in a secret place. And Santa didn't use our tags, either; instead, a piece of wrapping paper was folded with To: (name of child), From: Santa - and it was in Santa's handwriting, not Mom's or Dad's.ReplyDelete
