In the Gospel for Thursday's Mass (John 5: 31-47) Jesus had some strong words for those who purported to know the Scriptures but did not even recognize Him: "You search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life." As we move toward the end of the forty days of Lent, where are we in our relationship with Jesus and the Scriptures which speak of Him. When we hear the scriptures read at Mass, or read them in our prayer and devotion, do we experience the living Word of God being communicated through them?

CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - In the Gospel for Thursday's Mass (John 5: 31-47) Jesus had some strong words for those who purported to know the Scriptures but did not even recognize Him: "You search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life."
As we move toward the end of the forty days of Lent, where are we in our relationship with Jesus and the Scriptures which speak of Him. When we hear the scriptures read at Mass, or read them in our prayer and devotion, do we experience the living Word of God being communicated through them?
In the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation we read these beautiful words, "(I)n the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them; and the force and power in the word of God is so great that it stands as the support and energy of the Church, the strength of faith for her sons, the food of the soul, the pure and everlasting source of spiritual life." (Paragraph 21)
The insight offered here is the key to fruitfully reading the Bible. The Living Word, Jesus, speaks to us through the written word. Understanding the Bible depends upon having a living relationship with the Risen Lord. Everyone one of us can have that relationship through prayer.
St Paul told Timothy who led the struggling Church of Ephesus, "from infancy you have known (the) sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:15-16).
Timothy had a fruitful relationship with the Scriptures because He had an intimate loving relationship with the Lord whom they reveal. If we want to understand the Bible - and have it really change us - we need to grow in the kind of faith Timothy had. That kind of faith will also grow in us as we study the words of Scripture - with faith. The two are connected.
Years ago a gathering of scripture scholars was held in Rome at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. The group encouraged what they called a "kneeling exegesis". Exegesis is a word which refers to the study of the bible. I loved the phrase kneeling exegesis because it speaks to what should be obvious, but sadly is not; only through prayer can we encounter the living Word of God in the written words of the Bible.Â
The Bible is at the heart of the Church's worship, faith and life. It is the "Book of the Church." Christianity is not about "me and Jesus" but me in Jesus. Through Baptism we come to live in His Body, the Church. We are incorporated into living, Risen Christ when we are baptized into His Church. We become members of His mystical body and we enter into that new Creation, beginning right now.Â
When God chose to reveal Himself He did not throw a book out of heaven. Rather, the Word was made Flesh. He became one of us. Through the Incarnation - which includes the entirety of the life, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ- a new creation began.
The Church is not an organizational afterthought put together after the Resurrection of Jesus. It is the plan of God for the salvation of the entire human race. The Church is the Body of the Risen Christ and the seed of the kingdom to come. Through baptism into His death and resurrection all men and women can become sons (and daughters) in the Son.
The Church is the new family into which we are reborn through the womb of that Baptismal font. This is why we call the Church "Mother". In the Church we live our lives in Him, with one another, for the sake of the world. She is meant to be the home of the whole human race.
God has entrusted the Bible to this Church. It was first received by the early Church in the form of the Old Testament books, the Gospels and the letters of the apostles that were "circulated" (that is what the word "encyclical" means) among the early Christian communities.
Later, the Canon (which means measuring stick), was finalized within the Church. It is intended to govern her life and worship. It is the guide for her in carrying forward the redemptive work of Jesus on earth until He comes again.
The Bible is an invitation into an encounter with the Risen Lord. Its words are not a formula to obtain success in life, but an invitation into a communion of Love with the Living Word. The Bible is not some-thing, but reveals Some-One. In the words of St. Paul to Timothy, "all Scripture is inspired by God. (2 Tim. 3:16), the Greek word translated inspired means "God-breathed".
The early Christians received the scriptures as a gift. They knew that the sacred words were to lead to a deeper communion of love with their source, the Living Word of God. Early theologians were mystics. My favorite definition of a theologian is from the early Christian Monk Evagrius of Pontus.
He said a theologian is one who "rests his head on the chest of Christ." The image calls to mind the beloved disciple, John, depicted as doing just that in early Christian art. It speaks of the indispensable prerequisite for any fruitful study of the Bible, a relationship with the Lord in the intimacy of prayer.
Early Christians viewed the reading of Scripture as a way of encountering the Living Word, who gives Himself as bread to those who feed on this written Word. This practice is kept alive in the Christian monastic tradition, particularly among Benedictines in the West.
It is embedded in the Eastern Christian tradition and is especially evident in the writings of the early Church fathers. They wrote in a sort of stream of scriptural consciousness, moving from inspired thoughts to actual biblical quotes and back; most often without any reference to the specific "chapter and verse". The text was living within them. To use a phrase from my childhood they "knew it by heart."
This way of encountering the Lord in His Word is cultivated in our lives. It involves meeting the Lord in His word and being changed in that encounter. It can inform a rhythmic way of life steeped in the practice of the presence of God throughout the day. Participation in the rich and beautiful pattern of the Liturgical life of the Church, filled as it is with the Biblical texts that are arranged for the faithful daily, helps to develop this rhythm.
In the prologue to his Rule or way of life, t Benedict of Nursia offered to help monks hear God's words with the "ear of our heart." This relational approach is referred to in Western writings as Lectio Divina, "What, dear brothers, is more delightful than this voice of the Lord calling to us? See how the Lord in his love shows us the way of life. Clothed then with faith and the performance of good works, let us set out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide - that we may deserve to see him who has called us to his kingdom." (1 Thess 2:12).
The steps of Lectio Divina are listening, contemplating, praying and then resting in the Word.
Mother Teresa wrote: "God is the friend of silence, in that silence he will listen to us; there he will speak to our soul, and there we will hear his voice. The fruit of silence is faith. The fruit of faith is prayer, the fruit of prayer is love, the fruit of love is service and the fruit of service is silence. In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you.. God is the friend of silence. His language is silence. 'Be still and know that I am God'."
The first step of Lectio Divina is to hear. This is done through lectio or reading the biblical text and listening. This kind of reading is not like what one does with a newspaper or a book. It is done "in the Spirit", in prayerful reverence, in the grace of the encounter, learning to listen in silence. It is done from prayer, in prayer and for prayer. "Lectio" is listening for that whisper of God for us this day, that daily bread on the trail of our life.
Once we read and hear the text, we meditate on that word or passage, realizing that the breath of God is in that wonderful Bread of Life. The same breath through which God breathed His life into Adam, that same breath that was breathed by Jesus Christ, after His Resurrection, upon His disciples, is present in this wonderful treasure of His written word. When we meditate upon the word we can breathe in the very life of God.
Now, in relationship with the word we have read and meditated upon, we pray. We converse with the Lord. We offer ourselves to God, pouring ourselves out, with absolute honesty, holding nothing back. We consecrate ourselves, setting ourselves aside and telling the Lord that He is our all in all, our love, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. We make ourselves transparent and honest, offering our pain, our brokenness, our failings; we give ourselves to the One who has given Himself to us. We enter into a holy exchange. Then contemplation begins.
In love with God, filled with His word, we now rest in His presence, like the beloved disciple John did at the table, placing our heads on the Lords chest, overjoyed to be with Jesus. Our intimacy with the Lord is a relationship where words are no longer even necessary. Nothing needs to be said because we are now in the loving embrace of the Living God. In Him we are changed, converted, transformed by love, instructed and awakened.
This is how we read the Bible - by falling in Love with Jesus the Lord who is the Living Word.

Crystal Ballroom Property
Woody Pines
7 p.m.
21 and over
Woody Pines
"Woody Pines brings that low-key street corner style of performance to his stage show, but with all the polish and seasoned professionalism of a tour-bus-and-green-room rock stardom....."
What is a Woody Pines...?
Crackerjack musicianship goes a long way toward a band's greatness, but showmanship seals the deal. Pines, on stage, is an old soul and natural performer, storied and steeped in the best of American music. Live, the group infuses a hundred years of American music into their performance - everything from early 20th century acoustic blues and Rock-a-billy, to the sounds of the White Stripes and The Black Keys. They'll even drop some hip-hop vibes in the mix. It's a fast-paced, swinging, high-energy show.
"It's kind of an alter ego, both a band and a person."
The Band includes Zack Pozebanchuck on Upright Bass, Lyon Graulty on Clarinet, Lead Guitar and Vocal Harmonies, Mike Gray on Drums, and Woody on Guitar, Harmonica and Vocals. They create a Rock-a-billy, Halloween hootenanny that could have come straight out of a time traveling vaudeville show. Their song "Counting Alligators" puts listeners straight into the backseat of a convertible with Doctor John and Professor Longhair, whipping around the back roads of the Delta on a crisp, autumn night. Several other songs by the band, such as "Nashville" and "Delta Bound", evoke thoughts of a Southern gossip or a post-Civil War America where the blues weren't just a style of music, but a way of life. "We pick and choose the best sounding music in the world," says Pines, "and sing our own words and put our hearts and souls into that backdrop," thus creating a truly unique, and infectious style, never heard before...
Grab your girl, your pals, tape your soul on your sleeve and go see this band!

Buffalo Man Charged With Sale Of Cocaine
DUNKIRK – A Buffalo man is in Chautauqua County Jail awaiting arraignment for allegedly selling crack cocaine to undercover agents in the city of Dunkirk. It's the third recent arrest involving a Buffalo resident selling drugs in the city.
Steven D. Douglas, 25, of Kail Street, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Dunkirk police on Monday took Douglas into custody after a three-month-long investigation. A secret grand jury issued a warrant for the Buffalo man's arrest. The warrant was issued after the grand jury heard the case brought by the Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office.
Information was relayed from the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force to the district attorney's office, a police report noted.
Douglas on numerous occasions allegedly sold crack cocaine to agents in the drug task force in Dunkirk, police said. Douglas was taken to Dunkirk Jail and later remanded to County Jail. He is awaiting arraignment in front of County Court Judge John T. Ward.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.
The district attorney's office has been busy handling drug deals in Dunkirk involving Buffalo residents.
In February, the drug task force announced the apprehension of Rodney Clyburn, 32, of Buffalo. Clyburn was arrested on a warrant following a secret grand jury.
Clyburn was charged with multiple counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Police said Clyburn sold quantities of crack cocaine to agents of the drug task force on numerous occasions in Dunkirk. The investigation lasted three months.
Darryl Watkins, 51, of 385 Military Road, Buffalo, also was taken into custody in February on a warrant following a secret grand jury. The warrant was issued after the grand jury heard the case brought by the district attorney's office.
Police said Watkins, too, sold quantities of crack cocaine to undercover agents over a three-month span.

Iroquois U19 Player, Cornell Recruit Dies
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter
Kanatiio "Tiio" Adams, a Salisbury School (Conn.) senior, member of the Iroquois U19 team and a Cornell recruit passed away Monday at his home in Akwesasne. He was 18.
Adams, whose brother Myan is a junior defenseman at Cornell, played long stick midfield and had recently received a full scholarship to attend the school and play for the Big Red with his brother.
No details are available about a cause of death. Kanatiio Adams is survived by his mother and father, his four brothers, grandparents, godparents and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Adams attended Salmon River Central School, before entering Salisbury School where he was a senior. Akwesasne is a Mohawk Nation territory that straddles the borders of the United States and Canada and Ontario and Quebec, and borders the Saint Lawrence River.
Arrangement details are available here through Donaldson Funeral Home in Massena, N.Y. Among those to leave condolances via the home's website is former Salisbury player and All-World defenseman Brodie Merrill.
"I have kept a close eye on Kanatiio these past few years," Merrill wrote. "Having gone to Salisbury myself and played the same position as Kanatiio, I felt a connection. It was clear to me that he was one of the best young players in the game, with a such bright future ahead of him. Off the field, I remember him as a gentlemen. Quiet, polite, respectful, and very kind."

Three make-ahead layered strata recipes to make brunch (or dinner!) run a little smoother.
It's hard not to like a recipe with layers involved�especially when it's simple. And when it comes to easy brunch casseroles (that can also convincingly pass at dinnertime), the layered king of ceremonies is most certainly the strata. �A savory Bacon Potato Egg Strata to try: [protected-iframe id="5769241b4a5c4b3f81840f31364028ed-41469640-52977054" info="http://pshared.5min.com/Scripts/PlayerSeed.js?sid=1365&width=600&height=400&colorPallet=%23FFEB00&companionPos=bottom&hasCompanion=true&playerActions=16575&relatedMode=1&videoControlDisplayColor=%23191919&playList=517692399&shuffle=0&sequential=1" width=493 height=400] A strata is similar to a quiche or frittata and is oftentimes made from a combination of cheeses, eggs and bread or potatoes. They are quick to prep and superb make-ahead options for those who aren't morning people (and who is after all?). Like most other casseroles and kitchen sink frittatas, being forgiving is one of strata's highly regarded qualities. Don't have a vegetable required for a recipe? Use another. Stratas can easily adjust to the ingredients you have on hand and are willing recipients of leftover rotisserie chicken, ground beef and end-of-season vegetable bummer crops. Allow our following collection to inspire a recipe of your own, and make your next brunch gathering a little less stressful and much more strata-filled. Brought to you by: Relish

News Releases
/ Report Shows Voluntary Conservation Works for Bay Health
Loading Tree...
Blaine Delaney
Richmond, VA, December 6, 2013 – A recently released report from USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service shows that Bay farmers' voluntary conservation efforts have had a significant impact on reducing the amount of sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus leaving cultivated croplands.
The Conservation Effects Assessment Project, or CEAP, highlights the positive impacts of producers, like Gerry Silver in Stafford County, who are adopting conservation systems approaches to control erosion and trap runoff from their fields. Silver is the sole proprietor of a Virginia Century Farm where three generations of his family are adapting their operation to add value to the land while diversifying income opportunities.
He worked with NRCS and its network of conservation partners like the Tri-County/City SWCD to implement rotational grazing and install buffers on his pastureland. He also installed a grassed waterway to address gully erosion on one of his crop fields.
"Virginia is a key player in this effort with targeted, science-based conservation and collaborative approaches that are making impressive gains in protecting and restoring the Bay," State Conservationist Jack Bricker said.
"When it comes to meeting Virginia's water quality goals, partnerships are key to our success," adds Richard Street, At-Large Member of the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board. "USDA, NRCS, and state agencies need to work together to assist local jurisdictions and governments to improve the health of the Bay. In Spotsylvania County, we took our cue from farmers in using a voluntary approach to conservation activities in urban settings with low impact development."
The CEAP report highlights a wider acceptance of many popular conservation practices. For example, some form of erosion control has now been adopted on 97 percent of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed's 4.35 million cropland acres. This statistic does not mean that all acres are fully treated to address sediment and nutrient losses, but it is a positive indication of a willingness by farmers to do their part to help restore the Bay watershed, Bricker said.
Bay farmers are also recognizing the positive benefits of using cover crops in their cropping systems. Use of cover crops at least one out of every four years has quadrupled in less than a decade with land in cover crops increasing from 12 to 52 percent of cropland acres since 2006.
Silver was an early adopter of conservation tillage with all cropland in no-till for more than 25 years. He is now keeping cover crops on all land where he actively grows commodity grains to reduce erosion and improve water holding capacity.
The changes don't stop there, however. NRCS financial and technical assistance are helping landowners like Cliff Miller in Rappahannock County transition to a new way of farming. Miller has changed his relationship with the land and used conservation practices to better manage it. He actually took a fertile crop field out of production to restore natural wetlands, riparian buffers and trees to help improve the health of the Thornton River, which runs through his property on the way to the Rappahannock River.
"Virginia is moving forward to take soil management to the next level, including actively working to increase adoption of nutrient management practices," says Bricker. "As more agricultural producers embrace the concept that the 'soil is alive,' we know that they will seek to implement these four Soil Health principles to improve soil health and water quality: keep soil covered, minimize soil disturbance, maximize living roots, and energize with diversity."
CEAP was designed to quantify the impact of conservation efforts on private lands. The first CEAP cultivated cropland report for the Bay was released in 2011 and included data from farmer surveys conducted from 2003 to 2006. This year's release is the first CEAP cropland report to revisit a particular region, and it includes data from an updated farmer survey in 2012. These statistics show that producers have helped significantly lower nitrogen and phosphorus leaving fields (48.6 million pounds and 7.1 million pounds respectively). Sediment losses are even more impressive, lowered by 60 percent or about 15.1 million tons per year.
The Chesapeake Bay Watershed touches six states and is home to 17 million people and more than 83,800 farms and ranches. Agriculture contributes about $10 billion annually to the region's economy. Conservation practices have other environmental benefits, such as sequestering carbon and making farms more resilient to extreme weather events linked to climate change.

The lab is evaluating the toxicity of thousands of chemicals used in consumer products.oil from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon well is affecting marine species' health in the Gulf of Mexico.
What's learned from these zebrafish can be used to inform human health research.which base pair — a rung in the DNA double-helix ladder — is targeted by a particular chemical exposure.
Zebrafish are instrumental in research to determine the effects of 'cocktails of pollution' on fish species.Zebrafish are instrumental in the research that Nat Scholz, the ecotoxicology program manager at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Northwest Fisheries Science Center, is conducting to investigate the effects of what he calls "cocktails of pollution" on different fish species, including Pacific Northwest salmon and herring. Among the combinations of chemicals he's studying are those of various fuel oil compounds, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pesticides.
The lab is working to assess the toxicity of molecules invented to clean up environmental contaminants.each of which gets a zebrafish sample that is then dosed by a machine with a particular chemical at different concentrations. Some experimentally treated eggs are allowed to develop, while others are halted to examine impacts during embryonic development.

Fighting substance abuse
Driven by a personal mission to see connections between people in her community thrive, Kathy Getting, Power Up YOUth coordinator, wants to educate the public about one of the things that can deter her mission: substance abuse.
Getting said the organization has a few goals. One of those is to increase the partnerships and collaborations between community members to reduce underage substance abuse. Another is to assess what is going well in the community and find where gaps in that coverage is, and to understand what substance abuse looks like in Hamilton County.
"We know that substance abuse happens everywhere," Getting said. "But what it looks like in each community is a bit different. So, we know we're most effective when we can really understand what it looks like here."
Getting helps to find solutions to those local conditions and causes of substance abuse. However, she recognizes that no one organization or agency can do it on their own. That's where she comes in. Getting helps to facilitate those local partnerships between local organizations including, Hamilton County Public Health, the Webster City Police Department, Crimestoppers and more.
"The more people we can get involved, the more effective we are," Getting said. "My job is to help other people do their work."
There is much work to be done on researching and combating substance abuse in Hamilton County. Getting said the most abused substance by youth is alcohol, followed by marijuana, tobacco, then prescription drugs and meth. However, she said that most youth do not use drugs or alcohol.
Helping to spread that message that substance users are in the minority is a local student lead group called SHIFTs Happen, which stands for Students Helping Impact Future Teens. Getting said that staff coalition members had been looking to form a youth-lead group since they received a drug free community grant in 2007. When Getting went with a few local students to a youth leadership conference, one of the students brought back the idea to start a SHIFTs Happen group in town.
While there are a couple of adults that help facilitate the group, Getting said it is largely student-run. Among their activities, the group sends speakers to talk with students in eighth grade near the end of the year just months before the enter high school. This peer education is aimed at helping students understand that they don't have to succumb to peer pressure upon entering high school.
"When kids come into high school, there's this one perception that you have to go out and party to fit in. The message of Shift Happens is that, no, you don't have to do that. You can do what's right for you," Getting said.
Medical marijuana
Getting has recently spoken with local groups about medical marijuana. Over 20 states now have medical marijuana laws, have decriminalized marijuana use, or have legalized its use on a state level. A bill to allow medical marijuana in the Iowa House was dropped in late January and never made it out of a subcommittee.
At two local Kiwanis groups, the Rotary club and the League of Women voters, Getting began her presentations by asking those listening what they valued. She said those values add up to the common good in a community, and showed why expanding the availability was not a common good.
"The role of a citizen in a democracy is to balance the needs of the individual versus the common good. It's very easy to see how it affects us individually, but we have much more difficulty understanding how policy affects everybody," Getting said.
In a paper recently published in PNAS by Meier et al, a study of persistent cannabis users from their teens to their late 30's found that users had a permanent drop of IQ by eight points. Getting said that loss could put someone in the lowest third of the intelligence range.
"What we want is strong kids in a strong community," Getting said. "They feed into each other. One of the things we need to do to ensure that we have both is to reduce substance abuse."
Getting said she has seen a decrease in kid's perception of the risk of using marijuana and a weakening in their perception of peer disapproval in using marijuana. She said that marijuana is covered often in the news and kids are exposed to it through popular media, and much of it makes light of the risks of using the drug.
The costs of substance abuse in America adds up financially. Getting said that the total cost of substance abuse in America, including lost work productivity, healthcare and crime related costs exceeds $600 billion annually. The argument that money would be gained by taxing legal marijuana falls flat for Getting, who said federal and state alcohol taxes raise about $14.5 billion, only about six percent of the $235 billion the substance costs the country annually.
With messages about substance use and abuse are common from media and culture, Getting said that youth from the youth summit she attended said they want more influential adults in their lives. She said concerned parents should do their research to be informed and also talk to their kids about alcohol and drug use.
She said one roadblock that some parents have when talking to their kids about drug and underage alcohol use is their apprehension to seem hypocritical if the parents themselves used those substances in their youth.
"I think it's more important that you talk to your child than let them develop an addition," Getting said. "What you've done in the past doesn't really matter. It's what you do today and tomorrow . You don't have to tell them you're horror stories, but you should share your concerns for them."
She said that listening to what children have to say about their experiences with substances, peer pressure and more is equally important. While Getting said that kids will often dismiss a question of if they use substances, she said that if a person's gut tells them that their child is using them then they should take action.
For more resources for parents and youth, Getting said the website drugfree.org contains a lot of useful information. She also encouraged people interested in her program to visit the Power Up YOUth in Hamilton County, Iowa page on Facebook.

From the press conference and the fact that even Chud hasn't talked to Weeden yet, I have to believe that Peeks gets his fondest wish and they move on from Weeds.
Which I'm fine with, provided you obtain an upgrade. Maybe not The Answer, but an upgrade.
Because if you expend resources to get a Ryan Mallet or Nick Foles or Kirk Cousins, you're most likely making nothing more than a lateral move. Trading a 1st or 3rd round pick to get a younger Brandon Weeden is not good business in my book.
There are only a few options I see out there right now. Maybe Alex (yawn) Smith. He will likely be a FA, and probably would be somewhat of an upgrade. And I still find Mike Vick intriguing despite the fact that half the world hates him and he'll only last 6 games.
Please don't bother me with names like Matt Flynn or Matt Cassel.

U.S. Women's Beach Teams Still Alive in Poland
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 5, 2008) - The U.S. women's beach volleyball team of Tyra Turner and Rachel Wacholder have reached the fourth round of the SWATCH FIVB World Tour event in Stare Jablonki , Poland, while their compatriots, Jen Boss and April Ross, remain alive in the consolation bracket.
Both teams are chasing Nicole Branagh (Orinda, Calif.) and partner Elaine Youngs (El Toro, Calif.) for the second U.S. berth at the 2008 Olympic Games. Branagh and Youngs are playing at the AVP tournament in Hermosa Beach, Calif., this weekend, as are the U.S. No. 1 team of Misty May-Treanor (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (Santa Clara, Calif.)
As the sixth-ranked team, Turner (Fort Meyers Beach, Fla.) and Wacholder (Laguna Beach, Calif.) have not had to play a higher ranked team in the first three rounds. That will change Friday when they will play Brazil's second-seeded Shelda Bede and Ana Paula Connelly, who are locked in their own battle to get to Beijing with at least three other Brazilian teams.
Boss (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.), seeded fifth, were upset in the first round on Wednesday by Italy's 28th-ranked Daniela Gioria and Giulia Momoli, 1-2 (20-22, 21-14, 13-15). The pair came back Thursday to win three straight matches, including an upset of the third-ranked German team of Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig, 2-0 (21-14, 21-16).
They will play Norway's 24th-seeded Kathrine Maaseide and Susanne Glesnes in their first match on Friday.
Complete results and photos are available on the FIVB beach Web site at www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyball/index.asp.


text: "What is handicapping?" Handicapping is the art of picking winners. All that you need is a track program, a pencil, and your mind! After reading through the "race review" page of the program, you can glance over at the right page. This side contains what we call past performances - descriptions of each horse's last few races. The object of the game is to pick the horse that looks like he or she is ready for a winning effort. No two people handicap races in the same way - but all of the fans are aiming for a winner! At the track, most people handicap using similar information. Those who can best interpret this information often end up going home winners. Some popular methods of handicapping include: 1. Speed Handicapping: Usually involves Beyer Speed Figures (found in the Daily Racing Form) or Equibase Speed Ratings (found in the track program). The philosophy of speed handicappers is that the horses which have run the "highest figures" will continue to do so and, consequently, win races. Advantages: When you bet on the horse(s) with the highest speed rating(s), you may end up winning three or four races per day, but most of the time you will be betting on favorites - horses who are obvious contenders but don't offer much wagering value. 2. Trip Handicapping: Trip handicapping is a bit tougher than speed handicapping, since it doesn't attempt to boil a race down to one figure. It entails watching a horse's last few races (in person or via race replays) and searching the track program or racing form for excuses for any sub-par performance. For example: Sometimes you will see that a horse went wide around both turns, or was shut off in the stretch (couldn't find racing room), or maybe a jockey made a mistake. After finding a good explanation for a sub-par performance, you would wait until the next time the horse runs, and assuming that they weren't in over their head, make a bet. The Skinny: When it is done right, trip handicapping can be a highly successful method of picking winners. Since the majority of bettors don't keep detailed "trip notes," you may very well find a "live longshot" in one or two races per day. 3. Pace Handicapping: This method of handicapping requires a lot of patience and an affinity for math. A typical pace handicapper calculates the velocity of each horse at various points-of-call during their past few races. After crunching numbers by hand, calculator, or with sophisticated computer programs, he or she comes up with a few highly-precise figures (measured in feet-per-second) which tell the handicapper how fast a horse was moving at designated stages of the race. The Skinny: Why in their right mind would somebody want to do this? It's simply a matter of preference. Many experienced handicappers feel that this is the best way to analyze races. The point of any "handicapping system" is to gain an edge over other bettors. Some people are willing to work very hard to find an edge, while others prefer less-rigorous tactics. If you have just discovered handicapping, you should put off pace handicapping until a year or two from now. There are quite a few fundamentals to be learned before we can dive into advanced handicapping techniques. 4. Class Handicapping: Around the racetrack, you may hear one or two popular definitions of class. Some people attribute a horse's class to his or her desire or ability to prevail under less than ideal circumstances. From a handicapping standpoint, class is the level of competition that a horse has been racing against. When someone says that a horse is "dropping down in class," they mean that it looks as though the horse is facing weaker competition than in the recent past. The opposite can be said for a horse "stepping up in class." Such a comment means that a horse (who most likely has done well against lesser competition) is facing tougher horses than in the recent past. The Skinny: The most popular method of class handicapping is to note the conditions of today's race, and compare them to a horse's past races. In order to do this, you must have a basic understanding of class levels at Monmouth Park. Here are four main levels of racing that you can identify in our track program: Maiden Claiming (abbreviated Md ) The term "maiden" can apply to Thoroughbreds of any age, sex or ability. It simply means that they have yet to win a race. Maiden claiming events are races in which horses can compete while running for a tag. Simply put, any horses entered in a maiden claiming race can be purchased for their designated claiming price. Since these horses are for sale, the competition at this level tends to be much softer than that of any other race run at Monmouth Park. On the past performances page, maiden claiming races look like this: Md 10000 to Md 40000. The number on the right represents the horse's claiming price. Generally speaking, the higher this number, the tougher the competition. Maiden Special Weight (abbreviated Md Sp Wt) These races are similar to maiden claimers, but with one notable exception - the horses are not for sale. For this reason alone, many of Monmouth Park's maiden special weight entrants are of a higher caliber than maiden claiming horses. When Thoroughbreds win their first race, it's said that they "broke their maiden." After this victory they have three major options: claiming, allowance and stakes races. Claiming (abbreviated Clm) Most horses who graduate from a mid to high maiden claiming tag, or from a maiden special weight race skip right into allowance company, but the least impressive often end up in the claiming ranks. Claiming races make up the majority of all races carded across the country. Like maiden claimers, the competition gets tougher as you move up in claiming price. (Claiming prices at Monmouth Park range from $5,000 to $60,000 and appear in the program like this: Clm 5000, Clm 60000.) Allowance (abbreviated Alw ) Allowance races have difficulty levels, but since the entered horses are not for sale, a different system is used. The allowance ranks are divvied up by what are called "conditions" (which can be found in bold type, directly under the race heading on the left program page). Many different conditions are available, but for now, we'll just concentrate on the four most popular ones at Monmouth. Non-winners of "a-other-than" To enter this race, a horse must not have won a race other than maiden, claiming, or starter in his or her racing career. Because of this condition, the majority of "a-other-than" contenders are stepping up out of the maiden or claiming ranks. This is the easiest of all the allowance conditions. It can be found on the past performance pages as "Alw 25000n1x" (25000 is the purse value and n1x is the abbreviated form for "a-other-than"). Non-winners of "two-other-than" To enter this race, a horse must not have won two races other than maiden, claiming, or starter in his or her racing career. Since it allows horses that have already cleared their first condition to enter, it can be considerably harder to win. (Two-other-than races appear in the past performances as Alw 30000n2x). Non-winners of "three-other-than" As you can probably guess, this race is open to horses that have not won three races other than maiden, claiming, or starter in their racing careers. Only the best horses are able to make it through this level at major tracks. A convincing "three-other-than" score can have an owner dreaming of a lucrative stakes victory. (Three-other-than allowances appear in the past performances as Alw 35000n3x). Money Allowances These races are usually written for horses that have "run out of conditions." They often carry higher purses and much looser restrictions (i.e. for horses that have not won $18,000 since January 1, 2008) - as a result of this, they often attract stakes horses who are prepping for bigger races down the line. (Money allowances appear in the past performances as Alw 40000n$x). Stakes (listed as the name of the race, i.e. Revidere or Sapling) There are two main types of stakes races at Monmouth Park: Graded and Non-Graded. Graded stakes carry the most prestige and purse money, so they attract the best horses from all over the country. Non-Graded stakes carry lower purses, so they tend to attract some of the better local horses. Jockey / Trainer Angles Some people like to keep track of how trainers' horses handle different situations. After analyzing racing statistics, they come up with a list of "angles," which tell them how profitable or costly it would have been to bet on a trainer's horses in a given situation. For example: Trainer Joe Schmoe ran fifty horses at Monmouth Park last year. Twenty five of his horses ran first or second whenever they were dropping in class. His other horses stepped up to a higher class and did not fare well. If you had bet $2 to win on all of Schmoe's horses that were dropping in class, you would have earned a profit of $175. Whenever such an angle exists, it is said to be powerful, since it produced a $175 return on a $50 investment. The Skinny: Horses and trainers are individuals, possessing their own strengths and weaknesses. Trainer angles can help you make a decision by providing a trainer's success rate in various situations. Like any other system, trainer angles do not guarantee winners, but at the very least will provide you with a deeper understanding of the game. Equipment Changes: Very few people will make decisions based on equipment changes alone, but they can be a powerful addition to one's repertoire. The most common equipment change is blinkers on or off. Blinkers are highly visible because they cover the upper half of a horse's head and shield his or her eyes on either side. Naturally, this causes horses to focus most of their attention on running - not on other horses or fans.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Urology hospital in the nation for 2016-2017 by U.S. News & World Report.
Prostate laser surgery is used to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
During prostate laser surgery, your doctor inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra). The urethra is surrounded by the prostate. A laser is passed through the scope. The laser delivers energy that is used to shrink or to remove the excess tissue that is blocking the urethra and preventing urine flow.
All lasers use concentrated light to generate precise and intense heat. Laser surgery removes excess prostate tissue by:
There are different types of prostate laser surgery, such as:
The type of laser surgery your doctor will perform depends on several factors, including the size of your prostate, your health, the type of laser equipment available and your doctor's training.

Nowadays, terrorists master technology. They often use electronic devices that allow them to act without being physically exposed. As a consequence, their attacks are quicker, more precise, and even more disastrous. As cyber- terrorism relies on computers, the evidence is distributed on large-scale networks. Internet providers as well as government agencies around the world have set up several advanced logging techniques. However, this kind of information alone is not always sufficient. It is sometimes paramount to also analyse the target and source computers, if available, as well as some networking elements. This step is called cyber-forensics, and allows for precisely reconstructing and understanding the attack, and sometimes for identifying the intruders. In this paper, we present the basics and well-known issues, and we give some related perspectives.
