Life's circumstances can make you bitter or better
Document Actions
The other day, I had occasion to meet informally with a couple who'd been married for 51 years. By their own admission, "things hadn't always gone the way they hoped." They described a number of setbacks and challenges related to finances, health, parenting and extended family. But despite these and other similar challenges, both stated they had endured them together, and grown closer as a result.
Toward the end of our conversation I briefly described the work I do with couples, and asked if either partner had any secrets they'd like to share - especially for younger couples. The husband offered this quick response. "Oh, I don't know if we have any real secrets to share. In fact, I'd say that the secret to being happily married is anything but a secret. But since you asked…."
Anyway, to my surprise, for the next five minuets, they waxed rather eloquently on the subject of marriage and what they had learned. Here's a thumbnail sketch of what they shared.
Both partner's comments emphasized the importance of sacrifice, mutual respect and commitment to one another through thick and thin. They also repeatedly maintained that love, honor, fidelity, and respect were equally important.
As our conversation drew to an end, the wife looked at her husband fondly, and then at me, and observed, "You know, maybe I do have one secret that might help other couples." She then paused to gather her thoughts, and continued, "Tell them, that life's circumstances can either make you bitter or better. But if you remain committed to the things that help marriages work, you'll avoid getting bitter and you'll get better at being married."
I came away from this encounter refreshed and encouraged by this couple's philosophy. And in retrospect, I gained an even deeper appreciation for the timeless values that they identified as being so important to the well-being of their marriage.
Bitter, Rather than Better
Sadly, because of the work I do as a therapist and priest, I've met many bitter and broken couples who weren't nearly as successful at being married as this couple. As a result, they had different stories to tell. They described an endless litany of issues, problems and challenges that made them bitter, rather than better.
In retrospect, as I think back now, and remember the anguish on their faces, and the anger, resentment, dashed hopes and regrets that characterized their statements, I believe that one reason why many of these spouses failed at marriage is either related to their inability to understand the importance of the timeless values this elderly couple described, or their inability to keep them front and center in their lives. I also can't help thinking now that if these values had played a more prominent role in their marriages, their stories might have sounded significantly different.
Maybe We're too Self-Absorbed
I don't believe that love, commitment, sacrifice, respect, fidelity are as commonly valued as they once were. Certainly, these concepts sound nice when they're strung together. But I wonder how many people today relate them to a bygone era that belonged to their parent's or grandparent's generation. I suppose most of us would still admit that they have some merit. But I wonder how many embrace them and use them to regulate their lives.
It seems to me that there's been a subtle shift in the way people think in our society - a shift away from these timeless values toward a new kind of thinking that emphasizes self-fulfillment, self-determination, self-sufficiency and self-improvement. By the way, did you notice the emphasis on self? It's as though the average person is less interested in their relationships and a little too self-absorbed.
It's my contention that this increased preoccupation with self has had subtle, negative consequences on marriage and family life. Confused? Not convinced? Well, perhaps these few examples might help you better understand what I mean.
The Bottom Line
So here's the bottom line. Timeless values like commitment, sacrifice, fidelity, love, honor and respect have always helped couples strike a balance between individual, marital and family needs. While other values like self-fulfillment, self-determination, self-sufficiency and self-improvement take our attention off of our spouses, children and families, and place an inordinate amount of attention on self, ultimately compromising marital and family life. All of which doesn't imply that I'm somehow suggesting that these values are not important. They are. It's only to say that they've been given too much importance.
If you're in agreement, then here's one last suggestion. When it comes to the way that you view marriage, consider taking an inventory of your core values. To identify your core values, consider these questions. How would you like to be remembered? How would you like others around you to know you? Do you act in these core values daily?
After completing this exercise, then ask yourself these questions. Are your core values self-centered, or do they help you strike a balance between your needs, your marriage's needs, your family's needs and your children's needs? In other words, do they help you live a balanced life?
The time you spend on this exercise could make a difference in your efforts as become a better spouse and couple, rather than a bitter spouse and couple.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Last Friday, College of Eastern Utah president Ryan Thomas called a community-wide meeting to address rumors and possible legislation that could permanently merge CEU with Utah State University.
The legislation drafted by the staff of state Sen. Mike Dmitrich was unacceptable to Thomas in its early draft form. He described the early draft's wording as "meaning the death of CEU. Our college would be eliminated and become a USU institution."
According to Thomas, a meeting was conducted two months ago without his knowledge, or his attendance, between USU president Stan Albrecht and several prominent community members and business owners in Carbon County to discuss the merger. The CEU president indicated that Albrecht denied any knowledge that Thomas would not be present at said meeting.
"I am not saying that there couldn't be benefits to a merger," said Thomas. "But I don't think this situation has been properly thought through. We need to find a way to put the brakes on this until we come up with a better solution."
Many attendees at the Feb. 7 meeting were distressed that Sen. Dmitrich was not available to explain the proposed legislation. There was also great concern for the fact that college business of this magnitude had been discussed without the presence of the chief executive of CEU.
"If we need to work around Sen. Dmitrich's schedule, then that's what we are going to have to do," said Carbon County Chamber of Commerce director Ann Evans. "He needs to be at our next meeting because there are a lot of questions that need to be answered."
A main concern of the college was the status of its campus in San Juan, a campus that Thomas described as very successful.
According to Thomas, 55 percent of the students at the San Juan campus are Native American. He further reported that more than 65 percent of those students graduate, a number far higher than the national average for Native Americans.
The school's vocational programs, many in their infancy, were also discussed at the meeting.
"What happens to our technical programs?" asked Stan Martineau of CEU.
Thomas had no answers for the questions on Friday. The CEU president apologized for knowing so little and stated that the answers would have to come from officials on Capitol Hill.
Some questions were answered by Dmitrich in a telephone interview Monday morning.
"I am not the only one pushing this merger," said the Utah senator. "But change is never comfortable for anyone and this merger is nothing new on Capitol Hill. Everyone knows what the concerns are at CEU and they need to be addressed."
Dmitrich reported that contrary to statements made at the Feb. 8 meeting he would not support legislation that would make CEU a USU institution.
According to Dmitrich, he would not support legislation that halted CEU's vocational programs, terminated collegiate athletic programs or changed the college's open enrollment and lower division tuition policies.
"I'm sure the upper division costs would reflect those at Utah State," said Dmitrich. "But if anyone in Carbon County thinks that I have anything but the community's and the college's best interests and continued viability at heart, they are wrong."
Dmitrich continued, "the bottom line concern that I have and the reason we are looking at legislation instead of another study, is how long is the legislature going to continue to bail CEU out of financial trouble? How long are they going to to fund their shortages and maintain this institution?"
County Commissioner Mike Milovich gave similar statements Monday morning. "I personally would like to see CEU stay CEU," said Milovich "But the college is no longer attracting students and it is my belief that USU could infuse the college with new programs and ideas in order to make it viable."
In a document provided by Thomas prior to the Feb. 8 community meeting, the CEU president indicated that post associate educational programs are essential to creative business development. Local communities have found that the migration of some of their brightest and best students to urban areas to pursue an education tends to be a one-way street. Few students who leave rural Utah for higher education return to seek work. Therefore, the impact of their additional education is lost to local economic development efforts.
However, Thomas did caution that of the western states who have implemented merger solutions motivated by increased efficiency have not been very successful.
"Rumors about a CEU-Utah State merger have been going on for years preceding my administration. As we experienced some financial difficulties they gained ground and as we got better financially they slowed down," said Thomas. "When I met with Mike, Brad and Kevin (Walthers) on Wednesday (Feb. 6), Dmitrich told me he didn't like to see things studied to death and that he wanted to go forward with the merger."
Dmitrich reported his reasoning behind considering the merger as increased revenue, more full-time enrollment and better educational opportunities for the students inside and outside of our area.
"We have to look at this as if it were a corporation," said Dmitrich. "We have to look at the decisions that are going to allow us to advance for the betterment of the school and the community."
Advancement of the local college was also the main consideration of Commissioner Milovich.
"I am concerned that the college just continues to limp along," concluded Milovich. "When it should be the bright light and the beacon that brings new people to this community and keeps them here as well."

I think Dakota actually looks alot like Melanie did before she started getting tons of cosmetic surgery. It kind makes me wonder if maybe Don had been messing with her head from young age, they got together when she was 14. They say Don really wasn't too involved with the kids other than sometimes sending gifts or vacations, so maybe his influence over Dakota was limited.ReplyCancel

Kate Beckinsale hasn't worn either her engagement or wedding rings since about 6 months into her marriage to Len which was many, many years ago.
Perhaps she and Orlando are close friends but considering that she and Michael Sheen were together for over a decade AND had a child together and she's said openly talked about how neither of them ever considered so much as engagement, idk.

Ok I'm new to the forum so sorry if this is in the wrong place, it seemed like the closest fit. I had a book as a child and don't really remember much. Some of my memories of this could be wrong so any help or direction you can give would be awesome!
I remember a book that I believe was about finding alphabet letters to spell out a word or a message. I could be wrong on that. It was a picture book and had some bright colored letters, I remember snow being on them. I believe it had to do with Saint Nicholas or another name for Santa (not santa).
I'm sorry this is so vague but it was a long time ago (early 80's is when I had it). Again, some of this could be made up in my head so if you have any guesses at all, please fire away!
Thanks in advance.

A Horrible Fascination: Segregation, Obscenity, & the Cultural Contingency of Rights
Anders Walker

89 Wash. U. L. Rev. 1017 (2012)
Saint Louis U. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2011-06
Building on current interest in the regulation of child pornography, this article goes back to the 1950s, recovering a lost history of how southern segregationists used the battle against obscenity to counter the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. Itself focused on the psychological development of children, Brown sparked a discursive backlash in the South focused on claims that the races possessed different cultures and that white children would be harmed joined a larger, regional campaign, a constitutional guerilla war mounted by moderates and extremists alike that swept onto cultural, First Amendment terrain even as the frontal assault of massive resistance succumbed to federal might. A radical re-reading of prevailing understandings of southern resistance to Brown, this article posits that civil rights proved much more culturally contingent than scholars have so far recognized, reframing the manner in which we understand Brown, its progeny, and current constitutional debates over the relationship between rights and race.

Claire Louise McLagan was born July 20, 1927, in Denver, to John McLagan and Martha English Brown, first of their three children.
She came to Brush with her parents in 1928, when her father started the McLagan Brothers Creamery.
Graduating from Brush High School 1945, receiving a bachelor's degree from Colorado State College of Education in Greeley (now University of Northern Colorado) 1949, where she was member of Pi Kappa Sigma Sorority, she moved to Alliance, Nebraska, to teach English in the public high school.
She and Willard Van Dyke Lynch, a banker, were married May 31, 1950, in All Saints Lutheran Church, (Eben Ezer Chapel), by Rev. A. B. Wallace.
Living first in Alliance, then in Winner, South Dakota, then in Valentine, Nebraska, they had three children: Joan Margaret, born April 5, 1952, Jane Carolyn, October 4, 1954, and John Willard, January 14, 1957. He was killed in an automobile crash October 6, 1967.
She returned to Brush in 1967 to be near her parents, raise her children, teach high school English, and give private piano lessons, retiring from teaching in 1987.
Claire began as church organist at age seventeen, having learned on the Rankin Presbyterian Church pipe organ, playing organ in churches where she lived. Among her piano and organ teachers have been Dr. John Elbert Chadwick of C.S.C.E.
faculty; Glenis Garlick, organist of the Episcopal Church in Greeley, and Veronica Lakstigala, a noteworthy concert pianist, native of Latvia, who had studied piano there.
She and the Rev. Glenn Wilber Lawrence were married July 4, 1986, in United Methodist Church of Brush, where he was pastor. She was organist in that church 1968-1988, and in Immanuel Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, 1997-2008. University of Northern Colorado recognized her among honored alumni in 2003.
She continued to work in the public schools many years, as substitute teacher, and in preparing students to perform in state music contests, also accompanying them in the contests.
She was involved in performances in the community in several ways, including weddings and funerals, for ecumenical events, and for Brush Music Club.
Claire taught private lessons many years, often having twenty or more a week in addition to teaching school, grading papers, being church organist and a mother.
Claire was preceded in death by her first husband, her parents, and son.
She is survived by her husband, daughters and their husbands: Mr. and Mrs. Kevin and Joan Fallon of Crescent City, California, Doctors John and Jane Steiner of Denver and Buena Vista, two brothers, and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. J. Neil McLagan of Denver, and Mr. and Mrs. C. Bruce McLagan of Hinsdale, a suburb of Chicago, and New York City, three grandchildren, Kelly Fallon and Ben and Emily Steiner, and nephews and nieces, step-children Judith Anna Lawrence and Paul Wesley Lawrence.
Claire maintained life-long relationships with many friends from high school, college, sorority, churches, and communities, as well as family. She not only taught written communication skills, she practiced them, writing letters by hand.
There was warmth, quiet serenity, and gentle dignity in her manner. She was a wonderful wife, good mother and stepmother, If words could describe her, they would include: kind, loving, considerate, responsive…and playful grandparent, including to neighbor Nic. Naeve.
She found joy in much, not only music and teaching, but also cooking, collecting recipes, and travel.
She gave her best, expected the best from others, and required the best from her students, whether they wanted to give it or not. Always a helpful person, she would spend time with students who wanted extra help.
Claire has held longtime active membership in Brush Music Club, and Brush Chapter T PEO, having served in every office in each, and held membership in churches where she lived and served as organist, including three churches in Brush.
She performed in most of the churches in Brush on different occasions, often playing for weddings, funerals, community events such as the Lenten Lunches or Summer Worship Services in the Park, sponsored by the Brush Ministerial Association.
She brought music into our lives, and loved doing it. If you knew her, you knew that she loved music, musicology, history of music, biographies of great composers, music theory, technique, and especially performance. The pipe organ is the most complex, most difficult and most challenging of all musical instruments. She played it masterfully. The piano was probably her favorite; she played it with great skill.
A memorial service will be Tuesday, August 28, 2012, in Heer & Dahl Mortuary Chapel in Brush, at 10:30 a.m. followed by reception in Carroll Building for family and friends.
Contributions to Alzheimer's Association c/o Heer & Dahl Mortuary are requested.

b.o.c. Falins Riding Boot
"I bought this boot in the cognac color, it's goregous and I love the zipper and snap details. Fits perfectly."

Finally boots that fit my calves
"Well, the boots were a perfect fit in the store, then of course, I was wearing a dress and no socks. I tried them on at home with my skinny jeans and I had to take an extra minute to zip them up the back. But they fit and I do not feel like my calf muscles are suffocating or screaming in agony!!I did notice while sitting at the movies the area over the middle of my foot felt the slightest bit tight. I am hoping it is because they are new. I plan to wear them around the house more before going out with them on again or maybe stretching that area some. Overall the boot is great. The turned up toe is funny looking but I still like it. I was looking for a boot with a lower heel for comfort's sake. I have always found b.o.c shoes to be very comfortable. Now to find a pair in black!I am 5ft 2in average sized BUT 16 inch calves (and yes all my life I have had issues finding boots that fit my calves) and I purchased the 7.5M. I usually wear 7.5/8 sizes shoes."

Great boots, but too long
"I ordered the brown color in a size 7.5 and am very pleased with them. These are great looking boots! The reddish brown color is very pretty and I like the simple details. The fit is good in the leg (room for jeans and socks), but kind of odd otherwise. The foot is way too long, to the point where it looks unbalanced and I have gotten comments that my feet look big! I would try a smaller size, but I don't think it would fit, since the foot is pretty narrow and they are just right everywhere else. Oh well -- they feel just fine, and I can live with how they look. Overall, these are very comfortable to walk around in and I love their classic style."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Ferron is beginning a very special observance of Patriot's Day on September 11. This will be the first inagural event of the Field of Flags. This event will remember our heroes with a field of flags.
Ferron Town council and mayor said, "Come unite with our community as we remember and honor the Heroes who give so selflessly and those who have given their all. The awe-inspiring Sunrise Ceremony will begin promptly at 7 a.m. on September 11 at the foot of the field located at 50 west 100 north in Ferron. This amazing display of flags will open Friday evening, Sept. 10 and run through Monday, Sept. 13,
The event is free to the public and will fly as a tribute to the Heroes we all wish to honor and remember. Come walk through our field and feel with us the love of our fellow soldiers and country."
Lou Sansevero is a Veteran and citizen of Ferron, he said, "It has been said of veterans and patriots that 'All gave some but some gave all'. On September 11 2001, 3,000 men, women, and children gave all when they died at the hands of cowardly religious fanatics and forever earned for themselves the right to be called American
"Patriots. At 7 a.m. on Saturday September 11 as part of the Peach Days celebration 2010 Ferron City will honor those 3,000 as well as the hundreds of thousands of other American Patriots, living and dead, many of whom who live quietly amongst us today, with a Field of Flags ceremony.
"The Consol mine has donated 300 roof bolts to serve as mounts for the 300 flags that will fly in the field which in turn were donated for use in this memorial event by the City of Ferron and the people of Ferron and Clawson. Honors will be rendered by American Legion Post 42, and its Auxiliary as well as members of the active duty military.
"I extend my hope, along with that of my fellow Veterans, that the people of Emery County will show their patriotism and respect for all American Patriots by participating, en mass, in this solemn event and to demonstrate that we, in Emery County, have not, and will not, ever forget."

Forests for People, Forests for Green Growth
2011 Sasakawa Prize winners bring Forest Management and Sustainable
Development to Rural Communities in Latin America and Asia
Nairobi (Kenya), 23 February 2011 - Two projects conserving forests and promoting
sustainable development in remote rural communities of Latin America and Asia are
the laureates of the 2011 UNEP Sasakawa Prize, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)
announced today.
The Asociación Forestal Integral San Andrés, Petén (AFISAP)
in Guatemala and the Manahari Development Institute in Nepal (MDI-Nepal) are the
co-winners of this year's award around the theme "Forests for People,
Forests for Green Growth" in support of the 2011
International Year of the Forests.
The theme highlights the central role of forests in the pursuit of a global Green
Economy as key economic resources whose real value has all too often been excluded
in national accounts of profit and loss. Estimates from The Economics of Ecosystems
and Biodiversity (TEEB) indicate that deforestation and forest degradation are
likely costing the global economy between US$2.5 and US$4.5 trillion a year,
more than the losses of the recent and ongoing financial crisis.
Both co-winners met a majority of the criteria outlined by the theme. Specifically:
AFISAP, which was founded in 1999, is focused on preserving the forests on a
52,000-hectare concession within the Mayan Biosphere Reserve in the San Andres
area which plays a critical role in regional conservation. According to an AFISAP
study that used remote cameras, the Mayan Reserve has the highest-density of
jaguars ever reported in the world (11 jaguars/100 km2).
The organization, which has distinguished itself as one of the most successful
community groups in Guatemala, has also introduced projects to extract the
lucrative xate, the popular foliage used for floral arrangements worldwide.
Xate, which has been used for 40 years and is exported, has brought enormous
economic benefits for the rural communities in the area.
Forests also provide homes, security and livelihoods for forest-dependent populations.
In 2006, the World Bank estimated that 60 million indigenous people depend directly on
forests for their survival. Indeed, forests sustain nearly half of the population in
the developing world, providing wood for fuel as well as non-timber products like nuts,
rubber and medicines. For many of the poor in rural settings, ecosystems and the
biodiversity they contain are their primary assets and source of livelihoods.
MDI-Nepal, a non-governmental organization founded in 2001, has introduced agroforestry
to help improve crop productivity and water irrigation systems as well as reduce soil
erosion on the forested hills and mountainous areas. Apart from making up most of the
country's land mass, the slopes also are home to 18 million of the 24 million total
population. These agrofestry measures have significantly improved food security and
living standards of the rural communities living on the steep slopes of Nepal.
With the involvement of the indigenous community, MDI-Nepal has delivered economic
and social benefits to more than 2,000 households by improving the productivity of
marginal lands with the planting of various fruit crops.
The UNEP Sasakawa Prize, worth US$200,000, is given out each year to sustainable
and replicable grassroots projects around the planet and recognizes the most innovative,
groundbreaking and sustainable grassroots environmental initiatives in emerging and developing countries.
The co-winners, who were selected through a two-tier selection process of an Expert Panel
and a Jury that includes Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and UN Messenger of Peace Wangari Maathai,
will receive US$100,000 each in order to expand and develop their grassroots projects.
Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director and UN Under-Secretary-General who is a member
of the Jury Panel, said: "This year's Sasakawa Prize winners underline how the green
shoots of a Green Economy are emerging across the globe and in rich and poor communities alike.
The two winners are acting on the fundamental fact that the sustainable management of
forests is key to securing crucial services from water and soil stabilization to the
recycling of nutrients essential for agriculture. In doing so they are tackling not
only poverty but forging a different development path for themselves, their families and their nations."
"They are also conserving and enhancing natural assets that serve the world--as a result of the
role healthy forests have in combating global climate change. I hope our two winners,
from separate corners of the globe, can unite others to similar actions. This would be a
fitting tribute to our winners' work; an inspiring legacy for the UN's International
Year of Forests and one way of accelerating the achievement of the UN's Millennium Development Goals".
The co-winners will receive the prestigious Prize at an Award Ceremony in Nairobi, Kenya,
where UNEP is holding its 26th UNEP Governing Council / Global Ministerial Environment Forum.
Last year's winners were Nuru Design, a company bringing rechargeable lights to villages in
Rwanda, Kenya and India; and Trees, Water and People (TWP), an organization that collaborates
with local NGOs to distribute fuel-efficient cook stoves to communities in Honduras,
Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Haiti.

Notes to Editors:
UNEP Sasakawa Prize
The UNEP Sasakawa Prize is sponsored by the Japan-based Nippon Foundation, an independent,
non-profit grant-making organization that supports both Japanese and international
philanthropic projects. The UNEP Sasakawa Prize was originally created in 1982 by the
late Ryoichi Sasakawa. The Prize was re-launched in its current format in 2005,
and is currently chaired by Mr. Sasakawa's son, Yohei Sasakawa.
The four members of the 2011 UNEP Sasakawa Prize jury are UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner,
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and UN Messenger of Peace Prof. Wangari Maathai, Nobel chemistry
Laureate and 1999 Sasakawa Winner Prof. Mario Molina, and Ms. Wakako Hironaka,
former Environment Minister of Japan.
UNEP Sasakawa Prize Trophy
The striking winner's trophy incorporates sustainable design elements such as wood from
an old dhow and recycled glass.
International Year of the Forests
Forests are an issue with essential links to livelihoods, addressing climate change and
other environmental challenges; the UN's Millennium Development Goals and sustainable
development as a whole. This is in part why forests are a key sector within UNEP's
Green Economy work - a landmark report which will be launched at the upcoming
Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GC/GMEF) - as we work to
strengthen all three pillars of sustainable development on the Road to Rio+20 taking place in May next year.
2011 is a special year both for forests and sustainable forestry work. UNEP's involvement
in forests and forest ecosystems dates back many years and includes some 100 forest
projects in the last decade. For more information see: www.unep.org/forests

The Emery High boys baseball team went 2-2 in preseason action this past week. The week of baseball began with a visit from the Uintah Utes to the Castle Dale field. The Utes went home defeated by a score of 9-4. Chance Huntington hit the first home run of the season in this game. Pitching this game was Nick Stoddard who allowed one run in three innings, Hunter Huntington allowed three runs in one inning and Geren Payne finished three innings without any runners coming in which kept the Uintah scoring to 4 points.
The team traveled to the Montrose, Colo. tournament on Friday and Saturday where they played three games. In the first game against Eagle Valley the Spartans picked up two runs in the first inning with Kash Jewkes and Jacob Tuttle scoring and then went on a long drought at the plate as they didn't pick up another run until the last inning. At the last at bat Gage Bell was hit by a pitch, Nathan Mecham and Kash Jewkes walked on balls. Bell stole third and Mecham stole second which set things up for Payne who doubled and knocked in Bell and Mecham. Next batter up Nick Stoddard walked. Chance Huntington struck out. Hunter Huntington hit the ball which brought up loaded bases. Dominic Rondinelli hit a grounder and the ball was thrown home to prevent Jewkes from scoring. These two runs took the score to 4 for the Spartans with Eagle Valley at 3 points going into the last half of the seventh inning as they were the home team with last bats. The Spartans couldn't hold them back as they scored one run to tie and another to win as the Spartans went down 4-5. Pitching in this game was Geren Payne for two innings, Hunter Huntington for four innings and Gage Bell for one inning.
The second game of the day saw the Spartans face the team from Delta, Colo. The first inning started out slow for the Spartans with Bell striking out, Mecham being hit by a pitch and then being thrown out at first and Stoddard striking out. In the second inning, Geren Payne hit a double, Kash Jewkes struck out, Hunter Huntington was hit by a pitch, Brandon Oliver struck out and McCoy Allred had a base hit which knocked in Payne and Huntington. Emery was up 2-1 at the end of two innings. The third inning saw Bell flyout, Stoddard walked and Mecham and Payne struck out. The fourth inning saw Jewkes strike out, Huntington walked but was out at second on a fielders choice when Tappan Draper hit the ball and ended up on first. At the top of five the Spartans were down 2-5 and couldn't put any more scoring together as the Delta team came alive at the bat and went up by a score of 2-10 in the sixth inning when the time ran out. Jordan Cox had a single and Nate Mecham had a double in this game.
Saturday's game saw the Spartan's bats come alive again as they defeated Moffat County by a score of 14-4. Nathan Mecham pitched for the first time this season and he allowed two runs in the first inning and then settled down. Spartans were the home team this go round and in the first inning, Bell struck out and then Mecham, Stoddard, and Payne all walked, stole bases and scored. Jewkes struck out, followed by Hunter and Chance Huntington walking, stealing and scoring. Draper walked on balls and Allred flew out to end the inning with the Spartans up 5-2. Bell pounded a homerun in the second inning to bring the score to 6-2. Mecham flew out, Stoddard got on base with a ground ball and stole around and scored 7-2 for the Spartans.

Sak cross body bag
"I ordered this in the mustard color for spring/summer and it's gorgeous. The leather is soft and love the color. The inside is deep and has plenty of room for necessities plus a book or tablet. The lining is a pretty floral print and the hardwear is very cool. My only complaint is I plan to wear it mostly as a cross body but the shorter straps are not removable."

Love the soft leather, lots of pockets to choose from (all with zipper closures) that offer easy access to my phone and keys. I wish it came in a light blue color....I would buy it in a second!"

Zombies are all the rage these days, what with the bestselling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; the pending release of Zombieland;and news that Max Brook's sci-fi classic, World War Z, is bound for the silver screen. But maybe it's time to call a halt to this never-ending battle with the Undead. Can't humans and zombies learn to get along and co-exist in harmony? According to a new paper by a group of Canadian epidemiologists -- no way, no how.
The researchers all hail from the University of Ottawa, and work at modeling the spread of infectious disease. They have adapted one particular model to the spread of a fictitious zombie infection. People fall into three basic categories: Susceptibles (S), those who are not infected; Zombies (Z); and removed (R), susceptibles who have died of other causes.
Zombies whose heads are cut off or brains destroyed can be killed. Susceptibles can become zombies if they are bitten by one, but zombies can also be created by resurrecting the Removed -- those who are already dead. It doesn't take a mathematical wizard to figure out that if there is only one means of reducing the hordes of zombies -- killing them -- and two ways of creating new zombies, sooner or later we will all be zombies. There is no chance of maintaining what's known as an "endemic state" -- one of peaceful coexistence.
Quarantining the few healthy humans could help -- the standard "hole up in a basement somewhere and hope the zombie hordes don't find you" approach employed in every zombie horror flick ever made. We've seen how effective thatstrategy can be.
The Ottawa researchers suggest that our only hope is an "impulsive eradication" scheme. Think an armed and dangerous Woody Harrelson in Zombieland, or the two schlubs who take on a zombie horde in Simon Pegg's Sean of the Dead. A series of fierce, concentrated attacks could effectively cull the number of zombies over time so that the "outbreak" would finally die out.
There is an interesting critique of this paper over at Confounding Blog that provides a bit more detail. The rest of us should take the Canadian researchers' final conclusion to heart: "The most effective way to contain the rise of the undead is to hit hard and hit often. As seen in the movies, it is imperative that zombies are dealt with quickly, or else we are all in a great deal of trouble."
We say, bring it on!
