New Year Honours - Cranmer's Celebratory Pulpit No. VIII
Cranmer is delighted to reward his communicants with an open pulpit today - in celebration of his record statistics, and in recognition of his nomination for Personage of the Year. Cranmer can't be having with all these pseudo-celebrities and civil service incompetents who have been awarded their memberships, officerships or commanderships of the Order of the British Empire, so he would like to bestow his own honour upon the individual who, in his humble opinion, has contributed most to the world this year, and that award goes to Mohammed Bear.
Mohammed was thrust unwillingly into the media spotlight when 20 children named him after a popular boy in the class. He faced 40 lashes, imprisonment and torture for 'blasphemy' against 'The Prophet', but endured to the end with all his paws intact. Yes, Cranmer knows that he is Sudanese, but Cranmer's honours are not limited by the shores of this precious jewel set in a silver sea, for he is now read in 172 nations of the world.
His Grace's 'traffic' has set some new records in December, with his busiest week being that before Christmas, with 5,869 unique visitors, contributing to his busiest month, December, which records 18,540 unique visitors. The most popular searchword continues to be 'Cranmer', and 'Muslim' outscores 'Jesus' by 2:1, but 'Jesus' beats 'Mohammed' by 3:1. Due to the admirable efforts of little Mohammed Bear, the word 'bear' is now almost at parity with 'Mohammed' - only 30 searches behind.
Cranmer was delighted that Reuters has used a number of his posts and broadcast them to the world, and even The Guardian has linked to his writings. Cranmer was humbled and honoured to receive an email from the BBC World Service on Christmas Eve asking him to take part in a live broadcast on the plight of Christians in Bethlehem. Of course, owing to the lack of a corporeal state, he regretfully had to decline the invitation.
In celebration of this traffic update and the honours bestowed, and in perpetual commemoration of the spiritual liberation afforded by his own pulpit experience with the Provost of Eton, Dr Henry Cole, His Grace is pleased to host another 'Cranmer's Pulpit' for communicants to nominate their own Personage of the Year, or to raise whatever religio-political or politico-religious concerns they do so wish…
…intelligently and eruditely, of course.
And Cranmer wishes all of his readers and communicants a Blessed and Happy New Year!

2006 Volleyball
Goshen Invitational
Beavers drop four matches at Maple Leaf Invitational
September 18, 2006
GOSHEN, Ind. - The Bluffton University volleyball (5-10) traveled to Goshen College on September 15-16 for the Maple Leaf Invitational and struggled as the Beavers finished the weekend with a 0-4 mark. Bluffton pushed Taylor-Ft. Wayne to five sets before falling, 15-13, in the clincher. Conference rival Anderson University kept the Beavers winless on day one of the tournament with a four-set victory in the nightcap. Tournament host Goshen College picked up its fist win of the 2006 campaign with a competitive victory over Bluffton in the opening match of the day before Tiffin University dispatched the Beavers in a quick straight-set win on Saturday afternoon.
A pair of freshman provided punch at the net in the tournament-opening match against Taylor. Michele Rosen (Harrison/Harrison) and Jordan Scifres (Greenwood, Ind./Lutheran) knocked down 17 and 16 kills respectively. Senior setter Brittany Shultz (Hudson, Ind./Prairie Heights) tallied 50 assists and three service aces to keep the Beavers in the contest. The back line was led by freshman Brittany Roth (Findlay/Findlay) and senior Katie Moore (Bucyrus/Wynford) who picked up 15 and 14 digs for Bluffton. Scifres and Chelsea Wyse (Archbold/Archbold) also recorded double-digit digs against Taylor.
In the nightcap against Anderson, Rosen again paced the Beavers at the net with 12 kills. Junior Rachel Alvarez (Convoy/Crestview) also tallied 12 spikes against the Ravens while hitting a team-high .345 for the match. Roth and Wyse finished the match with 14 and 11 digs respectively. Shultz powered the offense with 30 assists and connected on three service aces.
Junior Kalla Aeschliman (Wauseon/Wauseon) was a force in the Goshen match as she pounded 16 kills to lead the Beavers up front. Shultz continued her stellar play with four aces and 33 assists in the four-set loss. Roth and Wyse made their presence felt defensively with 19 and 15 kills respectively. Scifres also did her part from the back row with 10 digs.
Without the services of Rosen, who was forced to miss Saturday's action following an injury sustained Friday night, the Beavers were overmatched against a strong Tiffin University squad. Aeschliman tallied eight kills while Roth cleaned up from the back line with 22 digs, nearly half of the Bluffton total for the match.
Brittany Shultz was named to the All-Tournament team for her efforts at the Maple Leaf Invitational. She ended the weekend with 134 assists, 10 service aces, 17 kills and 25 digs.
The Bluffton volleyball team returns to action on Tuesday, September 19, when it travels to Otterbein to face the Cardinals. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

The Master
There is one Master in the world.
There is only one Master who brings real knowledge. He has many manifestations in life, but in essence he is one and the same. If man finds one of the moments of His manifestation, at the same time he will find himself.
It is a law - when you find the only Master, when you find God, you will find yourself as well. When you see God, you will see yourself. To see God and to see yourself - that is the most sacred moment in life. Man lives for that very moment.
Only God can be Master in the world. And when Christ tells His disciples: "One is your Father", he means the Great, the Only Master.
The Master - this is the Father. God becomes a Father and enters into a certain relationship with us according to the law of Wisdom.
Therefore, by Master, in the universal sense of the word we mean the Great Divine Wisdom which brings true knowledge to the world, which introduces all new ideas, all new forms, all new feelings and impulses in life.
Therefore, only one is the Great Master in the world although His manifestations are many.
I have said to you and I say again: there is only one knowledge and only one light. But knowledge does not come from one place only and the light does not pass through only one window.
The paths of knowledge are countless, and the windows of light are innumerable. Everyone who has the mission to make Truth known to men, does not speak of himself. He speaks in the name of the One Master. That is why Christ says: "I came into the world not to do my will, but the will of Him who sent me."
Every real Master, every person Divinely Annointed, is sent on a special mission to earth. According to human laws, which, after all, are a reflection of the laws of the spiritual world, a certain qualification is required of a person who wishes to become a teacher, and it is the same in the spiritual world. Only he who is enlightened and annointed by the Divine Spirit can be a Master. He who is not enlightened by the Divine Spirit does not have the right to teach others, because he will violate the Divine law.
Do not think that the Masters have not learned. They have studied in the schools of the physical, the spiritual and the divine worlds, and have received the revelations of the whole cosmos. They know the inmost laws of Nature, they understand the structure of the world, of man, of his path of evolution and of his great destiny. They understand the strictly defined relationship between man's spirit and his soul, between his mind and his heart. And for this reason, they alone can direct man on his path of evolution.
You might ask: "How can we recognize a Master?"
The recognition of a Master is purely a spiritual process. The Master cannot appear in the physical world as a complete act. Neither can he come as an outer appearance in life. The Master appears as an inner, intelligent manifestation within the man. Therefore, recognition of the Master comes from within the soul of the pupil. Many people perceive certain thoughts through suggestion, and think that this is their Master speaking to them from within. However, there is a great difference between the inner voice of the Master and the suggestion. Suggestion is an act of coercion. The speech of the Master is an act of freedom. And therefore, when the Master speaks from within, the pupil is inspired.
But when the Master speaks from without, through the words of a certain language, his speech has certain definite qualities. The Master uses each word in its right place. He knows why he uses a certain word, and he knows exactly what influence will be derived from its sound.
The concept of a Master is strictly defined in Living Nature.
The Master is he in whom there is no coercion. He is strong, but he uses no coercion. The Master is he in whom there is no falsehood. His exalted wisdom excludes any lie.
The Master is he in whom there is no evil. His goodness eliminates every evil.
If there is coercion, falsehood and evil in a man, he is not a Master, he is a pupil.
This is the simplest characterization of Master and pupil. The presence of the Master is known by the fact that he gives life, light and freedom.
A Master is only he who lives and works by the laws of Love, Wisdom and Truth.
He who does not fully observe these laws is not a Master, he is still a pupil.
The love of the Master is proven; there is no need to test it.
The knowledge of the Master is proven; there is no need to test it.
The purity of the Master it proven; there is no need to test it.
A Master, in the fullest sense of the word, is a perfect men. In him there not a shadow of hesitation, wavering or doubt.
Only a Master can rightly be called a great and powerful man, because his life is reflected in the whole cosmos. And if the life and thought of a man are reflected in the whole cosmos, they are Divine.
Mastership implies a state of higher selfconsciousness. A purely spiritual process must take place between the Master and the pupil. Full consciousness is necessary of the task which they must fulfill. In this case there must be as complete an interchange between Master and pupil as there is between a mother and the child in her womb.
As the human spirit works in the mother's womb in order to construct the body of the child, as it learns during this process, taking part in the work done by the spirit of the mother, thus must Master and pupil work together and with the help of the Divine Spirit construct the pupil's spiritual body, his eternal dwelling.
Therefore, to be a Master means to give birth spiritually.
This is what is meant in the Bible when it is written that a man begot another man. The man must give birth, that is to say, he must be a good Master. And the first thing that a Master must do is unveil for the pupil the spiritual world, which he has not yet seen, as the mother, after bearing the child nine months in her womb, reveals to it the world that is new to it.
Therefore, it becomes plain what a delicate and responsible task it is to be a Master. That is why Christ turned to his disciples with the words: "Do not call yourselves masters." If someone dares, of his own accord, to act as a master and spiritually maims some souls, he will be responsible before the Great Law. The Great Law is kind but also just. All those who impersonate masters are put into jail, and after they endure their punishment, then at last they will take the right path of their evolution. And do you know how many thousands of years are necessary for that?
The Great Law is kind but it is also just!
Shall I remind you of the case of Moses? He studied under the best masters in Egypt. He studied long and completed a certain school. And indeed, the miracles he performed before the Pharaoh reveal that he had some knowledge. But because of one offense - the killing of the Egyptian, something absolutely forbidden to a pupil of the White Brotherhood - he had to go into exile in the desert for forty years in order to atone for his sin. For one murder he had to study and atone for forty years. And only after that did he receive a new initiation.
Reminding you of the grave responsibility that an initiate has for even one mistake, I wish to turn your attention to the very grave responsibility taken by those who impersonate masters and maim the souls of men.
Herein lies the reason for Christ's grave warning to his disciples: "Do not call yourselves masters!"
You may ask me how you might distinguish a real master from an imposter, a master of the White Brotherhood from one of the Black.
The master of the Black Brotherhood does not know the Truth and because of this he pays more attention to outward appearance. He dresses himself in the best of clothes, wears expensive jewelry and rings with diamonds.
He says to his pupils, "You will listen only to me; only in me will you find the truth."
The Master of the White Brotherhood dresses modestly but always cleanly and neatly. He does not wear rings and jewelry. He tells his pupils, "Do not expect great things of me!" In order that the pupil may not be misled, he wants the pupil himself to test the purity of his Master, discover for himself the Master's inner treasures, and see his inner and not his outer, brilliance. Moreover, the Master of the White Brotherhood never restricts his pupils - he gives them full freedom.
The Master of the White Brotherhood, the Master of Truth, conveys three things: freedom to the soul, light to the mind and purity to the heart. The false master brings slavery to the soul, darkness to the mind and corruption to the heart. In order that you may have a full conception of the Masters, I will tell you that there is still another category of Masters - The Great Masters of the Universal Brotherhood - who know the methods of both the white and the black brotherhoods, and regulate their activity.
The coming of a Master to the earth is a wise action of the whole of Living Nature. In order that a Great Master may manifest himself, all intelligent souls must gather in one place. Furthermore on the earth also the necessary conditions for his coming must be prepared.
In order to outline briefly the way in which these conditions are prepared, I will mention this:
Two men of genius must be born in order that a saint may be born - these words are used in the sense given to them by Living Nature. In order that a Great Master may appear - ten saints must be born.
It is plain, then, why the Master, who is a collective unit, reflects the life of the whole cosmos, and why his life is reflected in the whole cosmos.
The Master draws his knowledge and principles out of the great book of Life in which every little stone, every branch and flower, every plant and animal, every human being in short, every living form - represents written words.
When he takes a leaf from a tree and looks at it, he reads where and when and under what conditions that type of plant developed, what kind of men lived then, and what was then the condition of the solar system. He reads also many contemporary events to which that leaf was a witness.
Everything leaves a trace, a mark, on the leaf. The leaves of a tree chronicle everything that happens in its vicinity. They tell what kind of persons passed by, and what their thoughts, wishes, and deeds were.
For a Master there is no inarticulate being in Nature - everything speaks to him in its own language.
Two thousand years ago a rich young man put to Christ the following question: "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Good Master!" There are no two words in the Bulgarian language that are more full of content, no word more melodious and harmonious than these two words. Much is required from a pupil that he may come to understand their deep meaning.
The word "master" in Bulgarian is flawless in all respects - mathematical, cabalistic and musical.
"Good Master!" These words contain within themselves all Divine blessings. They bring conditions for the realization of Divine Love, Wisdom and Truth.
They carry within themselves the conditions for realizing all virtues. These words are the key with which to open doors, closed for ages past. They are a magic formula, the strength of which can be tested and proven. Faith is necessary for this!
Two thousand years ago a wealthy young man asked the Great Master, "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" But the reply caused him to go away sorrowful, with head bowed.
Lift your heads up now, turn to the Great Master and say, "Good Master, I wish to observe Your Law!"
This is the only way in which you can become pupils of the Great Master and servants of the Living God.

Children trafficking and respect for life
I like police procedural dramas, and among my favorites are the Law and Order series. One episode of SVU was about a young girl killed when she darted out in front of a taxi. Her father, who had lost his wife to cancer and was homeless with two other children, had contracted the girl and her brother to work on a farm on Long Island when they were in their early teens. He thought at least they would be well fed and safely housed, but their labor turned out to be in the sex trade. The crack team of detectives found themselves in the midst of human trafficking in the streets of New York--an abuse of human dignity we often attribute to the developing countries of Asia and Africa.
Sex trafficking is a terrible violation of the very life, freedom, and right of a child to develop safely to full physical and emotional maturity. But trafficking in children is an evil more widespread than the sex trade. Millions more children are caught in other oppressive and exploitative work situations. The International Labor Organization (ILO) [1] estimates that 352 million children 17 years or younger are working; only a third of them employed in work that is suitable to their ages and not injurious to their full education and development. That means about 215 million are in work that is either forced or unacceptable labor--1.8 million in prostitution and/or pornography.
In the Law and Order episode, the girl was fleeing her own brother, a male prostitute, when she ran in front of the cab. He wanted to bring her back to the streets and the sex trade. When the medical examiner saw the body of the girl, it was clear she had been physically abused and was pregnant. When the detective brought the brother in questioning, they found he similarly had bruises from beatings.
All the steps toward sexual enslavement were in place--a poor family, so desperate for their children that they give them over to strangers so they might eat or have better opportunities (sometimes the family will even sell their children); false promises as to the children's safety and the nature of their work; physical abuse (most commonly beatings and mental pressure); and isolation from parents and authorities. With time the children are fully inducted into the sex trade. It's all they know. In the TV drama the woman who conned the father into surrendering his children to work on the farm was herself a victim of child sex trafficking.
The press and movies have made much of these sensational and gross abuses of children--sex trafficking, boy soldiers, farming body parts. These certainly are horrendous and shock our sense of justice. But trafficking in children is more common than we think. Neither is it far from our daily lives. If we have cell phone in our pocket or use a laptop, we must realize the gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten in them may come from the Congo and been mined by forced labor, often by children.
This is Respect Life month--from the womb to the tomb. The exploitation of children for work, especially in the sex trade, ought to be part of our reflection and prayers on life. God's intent is that the child comes into the world and is to grow to full maturity. But greed has turned many to destroyers of children to provide us with our pleasures and gadgets.
There are ways to combat this evil. The international community has signed covenants against forced labor and to protect children. The ILO monitors enforcement, but implementation is the duty of governments. Non-governmental organizations, such as the British Anti-Slavery Society [2], have helped by developing effective grass-roots programs and actions to keep tabs on governments and businesses that profit from forced child labor. Other NGOs rescue children and give them a new start in life. They urge to be aware children are being traded in our own streets and we carry products in our own pockets what is the fruit of the forced labor of children. Respect life.

The wife of El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has stayed out of the public eye since a scandal erupted in May over allegations the sheriff had multiple affairs with subordinates in his office.
That changed this week. On Thursday, she rallied in front of the Sheriff's Office with other supporters, holding a sign that read "Citizens for Terry." And earlier this week, a Facebook post attributed to her told supporters "Terry and I have a lot to work through because of the lack of respect and privacy we have been given by the media, but our marriage is strong and we are going to be just fine."
Vicki Maketa, who has been married to the sheriff nearly 28 years, gathered with supporters, including the sheriff's brother, in front of the Sheriff's Office for the rally. Tiffany Huntz, a Sheriff's Office dispatch employee who is accused of having an affair with the sheriff, came out of the office and gave his wife a hug.

Before the Iowa caucuses, senior aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton fell into a heated argument during a 7:30 a.m. conference call about the basic message their candidate was delivering to voters.
Mark Penn, chief strategist and pollster, liked Clinton's emphasis on her "strength and experience," and he defended the idea of her running as a quasi-incumbent best suited for the presidency. Harold Ickes and other advisors said that message was not working. A more promising strategy, they argued, would be to focus on the historic prospect of electing the first woman president.
Today, as Clinton tries to revive her campaign after losing 10 straight primary contests to Sen. Barack Obama, some insiders look back and wish that argument had produced a different outcome. Penn won the debate, say two people aware of the conversation, and Clinton went on to present herself to voters as a steely figure so familiar with the workings of government that she could lead from Day One.
The Clinton campaign now seems in peril, its precarious situation acknowledged on Wednesday even by former President Bill Clinton, who suggested that his wife could not survive a loss in either of the next two major contests, in Texas and Ohio on March 4.
"If she wins Texas and Ohio, I think she will be the nominee," the former president told an audience in Beaumont, Texas. "If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be."
Still, the campaign seems to be doubling its bet on the message that caused so much division among top aides before the first caucuses in Iowa.
Even as results rolled in from Wisconsin on Tuesday night, eventually yielding a 17-point loss, Clinton said she alone was best prepared to be commander in chief.
And at an evening rally in Brownsville, Texas, on Wednesday, she continued: "When you begin to talk to your friends, ask them: Who do they want to be in the White House when the phone rings at 3 in the morning with some problem or some crisis? We need a commander in chief who's ready from Day One to be in charge of our country."
The internal friction over Clinton's message was never fully resolved. A schism persists to this day. Some people close to the campaign's inner circle believe Clinton should make more of an effort to show a warmer, softer side before the March 4 primaries. Her next opportunity to present herself to a national audience comes today with a debate against Obama in Austin, to be carried by CNN and Univision.
As they look for where the campaign went wrong, some people knowledgeable about it said that Hillary Clinton bore responsibility because she did not heed calls to limit the overarching power Penn wielded within the brain trust as both its pollster and message- maker.
Some campaign staff did not have access to complete polling data from Penn's research, meaning it was difficult to challenge the messages he was crafting based on those polls, according to a person familiar with the campaign's workings.
Aides went to Clinton repeatedly with these concerns, but she stuck by Penn and kept him in his dual roles, according to people familiar with the campaign.
"Mark did essentially the same job in 2000 [as Clinton ran for the Senate], which was a difficult race, and we prevailed," said one person familiar with Clinton's operation. "He also worked for Bill Clinton in 1996 and prevailed. And he worked for Hillary in 2006" for her reelection to the Senate "and we prevailed. So there's a lot of faith and trust there on behalf of both Clintons. That's the way it had been done, and I think she had faith that it worked."
Penn, in an interview, said that he was playing much the same role he had for the last three decades for a variety of candidates. He said he had no "administrative control" within the Clinton campaign. What is more, Clinton's "compassion" is a side of her he's never tried to hide, he said.
"She is both a strong leader and someone who shows compassion for people, and both of those are important parts of who she is," Penn said.
Asked about complaints that polling data was treated with secrecy, he said: "Polling information goes to the people designated to receive it."
Still, a faction on Clinton's staff believed that she needed to address at a much earlier stage a stubborn and uncomfortable reality: that many people disliked her.
As the campaign unfolded before January's caucuses in Iowa, Clinton succeeded in convincing people that she was prepared and tough enough to be president. But some critics say the campaign failed to make a companion argument: that she is a warmer figure than people might suspect.
"There is a certain part of the electorate that does not like her, because they don't know her," one person knowledgeable about the campaign said. In Iowa, "everybody knew that she was the most qualified and the most experienced and stronger than Obama. But they really wanted to like her. And they hadn't gotten there."
Penn's talent, the person said, "is not recognizing the human aspects of a candidate or a campaign -- the soul of it. He's very much by the numbers and by the issues, and what tests well and what doesn't test well."
The campaign has at times tried to give voters a more intimate view of Clinton.
For example, in December, it launched an effort called "The Hillary I Know," in which friends, colleagues and people who had met Clinton in the course of her work offered testimonials, many focusing on her warmth and empathy. But critics within the campaign say these efforts were too late and too sporadic to be effec- tive.
Every message carries a trade-off. Exit polls of late have showed Clinton losing ground to Obama among white men. To the extent Clinton plays up a softer side, she may drive off some men who want to see toughness befitting a commander in chief.
With Ohio and Texas looming, the softer approach is not where Clinton is headed. Going forward, Clinton plans to win the nomination in part by emphasizing her "experience" and drawing a sharp contrast with what her staff casts as Obama's empty promises.
"We are laying out the contrast of how she will be as president, related to the question of what they really know about Sen. Obama -- and will he stand up for them the way she has stood up to so many people in her lifetime," Penn told reporters on a conference call Wednesday.
Lately, Clinton has started using a new phrase: She is in the "solutions business." The implication is that voters should pick her because she'll solve their problems -- not because they necessarily like her.
Times staff writers Faye Fiore and Dan Morain contributed to this report.

RICHMOND, Ky. (WKYT) - Kevin J. Coldiron, 39, of Tyner, Kentucky was arrested for several offenses after shoplifting at a Richmond Meijer.
When officers arrived to the scene they say they saw Coldiron taking a pair of boots, putting them on and hiding the shoe box. After that, we're told he went to the clothing section and put on a black hoodie after ripping off the price tag.
According to police, he tried to leave the store without paying for anything and some employees confronted him at the front door.
Police say that Coldiron then removed the hoodie, and boots along with blue jeans, socks and a hat that he had stolen from the store.
Police say that he then charged at one of the employees, grabbed him by the shirt and pushed him into the entrance door until it popped open. Police say that he then ran from the scene in only his boxers.
Officers found Coldiron at his home, in his front yard, shortly after he left the store. Police say his boxer shorts were ripped and he was exposed while under the influence of an intoxicant.
Later on, police found out that Coldiron broke into the home that they found him at and was confronted in the kitchen by the residents. Police say that the residents escorted him from their home and all the while Coldiron was exposing himself.
Coldiron was then arrested and put into a police cruiser. In the cruiser, Coldiron started banging his head against the protective screen inside the vehicle, according to police. As officers tried to get him to stop, Coldiron kicked one of the officers in the chest twice.
Officers were finally able to restrain Coldiron and he's now in the Madison County Detention Center.
Coldiron was charged for robbery, criminal trespassing, indecent exposure, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer.

epicJRPG.com takes a look at the current sales challenges facing Sony's Playstation Vita, and examines the potentially positive opportunity that exists for Sony with respect to JRPGs.
As publishers move towards mobile and handheld as their preferred devices for publishing JRPGs, Sony may be able to capitalize on this shift in order to first increase the core gamer base on the Vita console, and later increase the overall number of mass market consumers purchasing the device.
I think, most JRPG developers KNOW that the PSP is the King of JRPG that is why they support the platform for so very long (9 years and no sign of waning nor ending).
And that crown will eventually be passed on the PS Vita as the PS Vita is built as a PSP2
Nintendo knew that and has made the 3DS a direct answer to the successor hence nabbing PSP numero uno franchise MonHun. So it will be interesting direct competition on Ninty's part to gain market share. Sony not so much. They can't be arsed to make Pokemon or Kirby-ish games as their push is for the core and mature tech savvy gamers.
I don't see the 3DS lasting as long as the PSP nor PS Vita hardware wise because the successor to 3DS is just around the corner as stated by me. http://www.maxconsole.com/m...
What about the PS3? it needs a new mission statement in regards to the genre.
Pixel/sprite games for that matter.
And by jrpg you mean a Souls game or Dragons Dogma game then absolutely.

Australia's First 4 Billion Years: Monsters
series: Nova
air date: 8/01/14 4:00 AM
Of all the continents on Earth, none preserves a more spectacular story of its origins than Australia. NOVA's mini-series takes viewers on a rollicking adventure from the birth of the Earth to the emergence of the world we know today. With help from high-energy host and scientist Richard Smith, we meet titanic dinosaurs and giant kangaroos, sea monsters and prehistoric crustaceans, disappearing mountains and deadly asteroids. This is the untold story of the Land Down Under, the one island continent that has got it all. Host Richard Smith comes face-to-face with the previously unknown reptilian rulers of prehistoric Australia. NOVA resurrects the giants that stalked the land and discovers that some of them were among the largest ever to have walked the Earth. Others were some of the most dangerous. In the dry desert heart, scientists unearth an ancient inland ocean, full of sea monsters. But reptiles didn't have the world all to themselves. Mammals like the enigmatic platypus lived alongside them, ready for their day in the sun. And 65 million years ago, that day arrived.

The investigation of an armored car heist at a Clinton Township bank that left one robber dead Thursday has been hindered because police still don't know his name or the identity of a getaway driver who remains on the loose.
With no personal details about the man killed in the shootout with an armored car guard outside the Bank of America on Gratiot Avenue, Clinton Township police are asking the public for information that might be helpful.
"We haven't come up with anything," Capt. Richard Maierle said Friday afternoon. "We're trying to figure out who this guy is."
The man shot to death during the gunfight with an employee of Montreal-based GardaWorld is described as black, approximately 20 years old, about 150 pounds, 5 feet 9 inches tall, with very short hair and neatly groomed mustache. He was not carrying a driver's license or other identification, and he wore a mask, black combat pants, gloves and a bullet-resistant vest.
Fingerprints of the dead man have been sent to Michigan State Police, where they will be checked with a law enforcement database for a possible match.
Longtime Clinton Township police officers figured that someone with a missing friend or relatives would have contacted a police agency by now – an inquiry which they hoped would have led back by now to those involved in the robbery.
"I'm surprised that nobody's called by now," Maierle said.
Meantime, the whereabouts of an unidentified getaway driver remain unknown.
Witnesses reported that a silver Chrysler Town & Country minivan left the scene moments after shots rang out. The van was found on Remick Street near Stair Street, approximately two blocks from the bank, during a search of the area by township police, MSP and Macomb County Sheriff's deputies. Blood stains inside the unoccupied vehicle led police to believe the driver was struck in the shootout.
"Every indication is he never left the van" before abandoning it, Maierle said.
The minivan was reported stolen out of Southfield on Aug. 18, police said.
Police have notified area hospitals to be wary of any sketchy or doubtful stories provided by any gunshot victims seeking medical attention.
With the names of both robbers remaining a mystery, investigators are having difficulties determining whether the two men acted alone, or if the culprits had information aboutGardaWorld's routes or the bank's procedures.
The incident began with reports of shots fired in the front parking lot of the Bank of America branch, north of Metropolitan Parkway, at approximately 1 p.m. Thursday.
Officials said the security officer was walking out of the bank carrying a "sizable" amount of the bank's cash in a bag when he was confronted by a man armed with a six-shot revolver. Police Chief Fred Posavetz said the gunman announced a robbery and grabbed the bag from the guard. As the gunman started to move toward a getaway vehicle, the guard pulled out his weapon, and a "gun battle" began, the chief said.
Police said the gunman, whose aim was hindered by carrying the heavy bag in one hand and the .357 revolver in the other hand, was killed as he fired at the guard. The guard, who responded with about 13 shots, was wearing a bullet-resistant vest and was not injured. A second guard in the truck also was not hurt.
The stolen money -- described as "well over" $20,000 -- was recovered inside the bag found next the dead robber's body.
The ensuing search of the area for the drvier resulted in the lockdown of at least two schools, including McGlinnen Elementary School on Sunnyview Street and Faith Christian School on Remick near Ulrich Street.
No one inside of the bank was hurt during the incident, although at least two motorists said their cars were struck in the crossfire.
Posavetz said based on a preliminary review the guard fired properly, but Macomb County prosecutors will look at it.
"We'll do an investigation of the whole incident and send it to the prosecutor's office to review," Maierle said.
The guard had a concealed pistol license to carry the semi-automatic handgun, he said.
"He was exercising his open-carry rights as a citizen," Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw said.
Maierle said the GardaWorld employees and company representatives have cooperated in the investigation. GardaWorld spokesman Joe Gavaghan declined to comment other than saying the company is cooperating.
Anyone with information about the robbers is asked to call the Clinton Township Police Department at 586-493-7840.
A guard was positioned outside the bank branch on Friday.

I'm a 16-year-old high school student from Romania and, even though I am taking an English class, I frequently make mistakes even in short sentences.
I must confess that I'm not learning everything that I should, because I think the Internet is more useful than my textbook. If I apply myself, however, I could probably enter an English writing contest, not speaking contests though, as my pronunciation is worst than my grammar. I know there are different methods available to help improve pronunciation such as, listening to music, reading books aloud, talking to myself in English and so on. The thing is, I just can't seem to apply myself.
I'll stop here because I know that my writing isn't a pleasure for any of you to read.
Thanks for reading, and I wonder if you could correct it as soon as possible (it's the second time I've used 'possible' in that sentence but I'm not sure what word or phrase would sound better and still keep the meaning).

"All three games will be optimized for the PC platform and will have new PC-specific features added to the already great games," wrote Capcom. Both Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter IV hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 earlier this year, with the console edition of GRIN's swinging action game Bionic Commando slated to hit on May 19.
Details on the "new PC-specific features" for each game follow below. Be aware that Resident Evil 5 sported online co-op on consoles--the new feature for that title is the compatibility with NVIDIA's GeForce 3D Vision technology.
Street Fighter IV
The PC version of Street Fighter IV will feature online play, higher screen resolutions and three new shaders based on three of the "artistic" trailers released in 2008 that will change the visual appearance of the game: "watercolor," "posterization" and "sumi-e ink" styles.
Bionic Commando
The PC version of Bionic Commando will support higher resolutions than the console version, remappable controls including mouse and keyboard support, support for both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 and online connectivity for multiplayer sessions.
Resident Evil 5
The PC version of Resident Evil 5 will feature online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA's new GeForce 3D Vision technology (wireless 3D Vision glasses sold separately).

The clock is ticking for Congress to act.
That sentence could apply to so many issues pending before federal lawmakers. We are referring in this case to the interest rates on subsidized student loans, which doubled July 1 from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.
These loans are meant to help low-income students manage the increasing costs of higher education. The average student receives about $13,540 in subsidized loans in his or her college career, according to Congress' Joint Economic Committee. The committee estimates an increase to a 6.8 interest rate would cost the average student $2,600 more on those loans.
Increasing the interest rate will add to the financial hardship of students. But the rate increase applies to only new subsidized loans issued after July 1, so Congress has time to rectify the issue before the start of the fall term – and we implore federal lawmakers to do so before they take a monthlong recess starting in early August.
Getting a higher education isn't cheap. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that for the 2010-11 academic year, the annual cost for undergraduate tuition, room and board was an estimated $13,600 at public institutions, $36,300 at private nonprofit institutions, and $23,500 at private for-profit institutions.
Many turn to loans to help pay for college: About 37 million student loan borrowers have outstanding loans, and there is between $902 billion and $1 trillion in outstanding student loan debt in the U.S. today, according to the nonprofit American Student Assistance organization.
There are numerous personal and public benefits of attaining a higher education: Having a college degree usually means higher earnings throughout a lifetime, and those with college degrees are more likely to have a job and not rely on public assistance.
There are other ways to make college more affordable, such as reining in tuition costs, and in Illinois, fixing pensions so more money is spent on learning instead of paying retired workers.
Congress needs to do its part by lowering interest rates on student loans. The Senate is expected this week to vote on a proposal that would lower rates now, although they would go up in a few years.
That's acceptable for now, but we hope they use the ensuing years to find a more permanent solution, so students and their families aren't always having to guess what the bottom line will be for getting a degree.

Joining the chorus of political leaders calling for immigration reform, Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) called on Republicans to come to the table.
In a video published on the congressman's YouTube channel and reported on by Colorlines, Gutierrez took to the House floor this morning to introduce Latinos to the GOP.
"It's hard to meet us all at once, because there are more than 53 million of us. But let me tell you a little bit about who we are and what we do," said Gutierrez.
Gutierrez listed facts and figures about Latinos and how quickly they're growing -- noting that the vast majority are citizens.
"You know what else they do? They pay taxes -- regardless of their legal status," the congressman said. "They love America. And my republican friends, I promise you with time, you'll love us too."
Gutierrez also said Republican presidential Mitt Romney ran for president with a "to-do list of creative ways to offend Latinos." But Election Day served as a "wake up call."
Republicans and Democrats need to come together to make progress, he said, acknowledging his party's own failures.
"We need to set aside the mistakes of both parties and do what is right for the American people -- including Latinos and immigrants."

The performance of the stock '10 Camaro SS, straight out of the box, is undeniable. With 426 hp on tap, the Camaro can scoot its massive 3,800-pound curb weight from 0-to-60 in 4.5 seconds and clip the quarter-mile in 12.9 at 110.7 mph. By today's standards, a high-12-second car for the streets is nothing to shake a stick atespecially considering the LS3's cousin, the boost-packing LS9, makes 638 hp and runs bottom 11s.
Luckily for us who can't leave well enough alone, the aftermarket has always been there to support where the factory left off. With names like Edelbrock (a pioneer in go-fast goodies) in the mix, we're sure to get proven components that work. From the factory, the 376ci LS3 employs all the latest from the LS bloodline, making it a perfect candidate for boost. Taking a page from the ZR-1 handbook, Edelbrock's E-Force Supercharger System utilizes the same Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) Gen VI rotors as found in the LS9-powered Corvette, as well as an air-to-water intercooler system. The integration of enormous 12-inch-long intake runners adds loads of grunt down low, while in a configuration that also allows the entire setup to remain hidden beneath the stock hood. Components like a handheld programming module for ECU updating, larger injectors, and a high-flow, reusable air filter are all included. Since the supercharger assembly incorporates a self-contained oil system, it can remain nearly maintenance free for 100,000 miles. Ever going the extra yard, to supplement the factory GM warranty, Edelbrock offers an optional five-year, 100,000-mile warranty as well. The best part? Edelbrock's E-Force Supercharger System is 50-state legal and our efforts added another 130 hp to the tires!
What better way to showcase that pioneering spirit than supercharging a '10 Camaro, right? The crew at Route 66 Motorsports in New Lenox, Illinois, took no time bolting up the entire kit. Additionally, Edelbrock's E-Force only required minimal cutting and drilling of the stock system. After the install, Route 66 even put the Camaro on the rollers to prove its power.

'Pink Week' to Promote Breast Cancer Awareness
In its on-going effort to draw awareness to breast cancer and to promote its research, the UCSB Athletics Department will sponsor "Pink Week" at three of its athletics events on Mar. 28, 2009. Three UCSB intercollegiate events, scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 28, have been designated "Pink Week Games." The women's tennis match, slated for 11:00 a.m. on the Robertson Gymnasium Courts, a softball doubleheader scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. on Campus Diamond, and a 12:00 p.m. women's water polo match at Campus Pool will all be part of the effort. "Pink Week" is part of UCSB Athletics' BE Great initiative.
For the Record: The Best Start Since 1991
UCSB has opened the 2009 season with a 12-4 record. The last time the Gauchos started a season with a 12-4 record was in 1991. That year, they started at 13-4, but eight of the wins were against non-Division 1 competition.
Rank and File
The Gauchos have climbed up in several polls. UCSB is listed as No. 22 by Baseball America, No. 23 by Ping! Baseball, and No. 30 by Collegiate Baseball. The Gauchos are also receiving votes in the USA Today poll and are receiving votes in the National College Baseball Writer's Association poll.
Cummings Named Collegiate Baseball Player of the Week
Senior third baseman Robby Cummings was named one of Collegiate Baseball's national Players of the Week after an outstanding five-game stretch last week. In the Gauchos' last five games, Cummings walloped five home runs and drove in 12 runs. He was 8-for-20 (.400) and scored six runs. In UCSB's 25-11 win over St. Mary's on Sunday, the Chicago native had two home runs. Cummings is the second Gaucho in as many weeks to earn a national honor. Last week, sophomore pitcher Mario Hollands was chosen Collegiate Baseball's Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week.

Gael Force Offense
The Gauchos went 3-2 last week, losing at UCLA before winning three out of four at St. Mary's. In the four-game weekend series at St. Mary's, UCSB dropped the opener before winning the last three. In Sunday's series finale, the Gauchos scored a season-high 25 runs - all in the first six innings - and won going away, 25-11. It was the most runs that Santa Barbara has scored since tallying the same total against Westmont College on April 15, 2008.
In its 25-11 win at St. Mary's on Sunday, UCSB belted six home runs, just one shy of the school record of seven, set on April 20, 1996 at New Mexico State. The six home runs give the Gauchos 21 on the season, second in the Big West Conference. Santa Barbara has homered in four straight games and in 11 of 16 games overall. Third baseman Robby Cummings leads the team with six circuit clouts, but five Gauchos have hit two or more.
Cummings and Goings
Third baseman Robby Cummings continues to drive runs home in a big way. In four games at St. Mary's last weekend, Cummings had 11 RBI. He now has 29 in just 15 games, tops in the Big West. In addition, the junior entered the week tied for the league lead with six home runs, five of which came in the last four games.
Cavan a Good Time
Junior Ryan Cavan (rhymes with havin') is on fire. He enters the week with an 8-game hitting streak and overall he has hit in 12 of the last 13. In the last eight, he has two or more hits six times, including the last four in a row. He leads the Big West in both batting average (.490) and on base percentage (.571). In the four game series at St. Mary's, he was 8-for-14 (.571) with eight runs scored.
A Positive Balance
UCSB scored 25 runs in the fourth and final game of the series at St. Mary's. The 25-11 margin in the finale against the Gaels gives the Gauchos a 131-80 advantage in runs scored this season. They are averaging 8.2 runs per game as opposed to their opponents 5.0 per game, and they have scored 10 or more five times and nine in two other games.
Run Like the Wind
The Gauchos are third in the Big West in stolen bases with 26, but they lead the league with an 81.2% success rate. UCSB players have been caught stealing just six times in 32 attempts. Leading the way are outfielders Brian Gump and Mark Haddow who have stolen 10-of-12 and 6-of-7 respectively. Nine different players have at least one stolen base and four have stolen multiple bases.
A Little Something Extra
UCSB is hitting .309 on the season with 175 hits in 566 at bats. Even more impressively, the Gauchos have produced a Big West-leading 69 extra base hits in just 16 games, an average of 4.3 per game. In addition to the 21 home runs, which is second in the league, Santa Barbara has a league-leading nine triples and 39 doubles, which ranks second. Eight different UCSB players have at least five extra base hits, led by Robby Cummings (11) and Brian Gump (nine).
Pitching In
Santa Barbara's offense has been outstanding through 16 games in 2009, but the pitching staff has done its part as well. Gaucho hurlers lead the conference with a 3.64 earned run average and fewest hits allowed with 133. They also rank third in strikeouts with 119.
Gardner Keeps Mowing `Em Down
Four starts into the season, Gardner is 2-0 and leading all Gaucho starters with a 1.52 ERA, which is also second in the Big West. After striking out three batters against St. Mary's, he leads all Big West pitchers with 30 strikeouts on the season, exactly half of which have been looking. He is averaging 9.1 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
A Good Catch
Catcher Marty Mullins has done an outstanding job for UCSB. He has started 12 of 16 games behind the plate for the Gauchos and enters the week hitting .310 with four doubles and a pair of home runs. In addition he has helped the team throw out 10 of 21 would-be base stealers.
The Gaucho Way
As a championship-caliber program, UCSB Athletics recognizes the responsibility that goes with it. This simply means all student-athletes, staff, and fans will behave with a champion's approach, creating a safe environment at games and events. All of those who attend, compete, or work at Gaucho events are caretakers of the passionate, exciting, and great experience UCSB is known for. This is "The Gaucho Way."

I did finally get around to building my Hatch, and I love it. But I don't wheel it hardly at all.
The reason is...........I started out wheelin' a 1985 Toyota 4 Runner. First I wheeled it stock, then started modifing it. It worked very well stock, and every mod I have done has just made the trails easyer, or more fun because I can now take the "stupid" lines.
I have done all the work on my Runner myself except for $65 to have a shock hoop bent a tacked into place for the rear shocks. I am into it for around $4000, including purchase price. Have been wheelin it for 6+ years.
33 x 12.50 BFG A/T's wrapped around 15" X 10" Centerline's
Dual transfer cases.
63" Chevy's in the rear
Rear Toy's up front.
Rear diff welded
Front Aussie locker
Hand Throttle
Plenty of gearing options
Plenty of space for camping gear, and a canoe on top
Good fuel mileage
Can drive it to the trail, wheel it, and drive it home
It looks cool:grin:
Has taken me every were I have wanted to go except up this...........................and I'm still not sure I really want to go there.............http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=31&pictureid=203
Nothing that can't be changed to my liking.
Now for the Hatch.
3" Ozified lift
27 X 9.50 X 14 SSR's on 6 bolt Nissan chrome wheels.
Welded rear diff
Duel carbs
D/R 5 speed.
It looks cool:grin:
It is a Subaru
It has been cheaper to build than the 4 Runner (so far)
Not enough power
Not enough gearing to make up for no power and larger tires.
(Haven't really wheeled it since the duel carbs and D/R 5 speed went in) (hoping to see a little difference there)
Not a lot of room for camping gear. I have had the canoe on top, but then there is the issue of not enough power/gearing
Not much of a joy to drive on the highway. (I'm still working on that)
Will not go a lot of places that my Runner will take me.
I won't sell either one. They both have their place in my little world.

Whereas most video games seek lucrative movie deals, EA is setting its sights for TV. DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company series will be turned into an "hour-long action comedy" executive produced by John Eisendrath (Alias). Sony Pictures and Happy Madison will be producing the series for FOX.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Bad Company will feature the main characters from the game. "It follows four renegade soldiers as they exit military life and enter the private sector. But trouble is never far behind as they realize their commanding officer had used them to further the ends of a shadow unit within the government and now wants them dead to cover his tracks," the report details.
Bad Company 2, the last entry of the spinoff series, released in 2010. The next game in the Battlefield series is Battlefield 4.


text: Hi Jeanne. I have no idea what to recommend. My suggestion is to try more than one agent in the CBA market to see if they all feel the same way. It probably depends on your slant and the execution. Contact one of the agents at the Steve Laube Agency, MacGregor Literary, Books and Such, or Alive Communications. Other agents you might want to consider are Donald Maass or Steven Axelrod, who are both general market agents.

Does Al have a history of this, or is this just a one time deal? I don't recall hearing anything else about him, seems like a good guy. If so, cut him a break, everyone makes mistakes.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nbc-spo...8328--nfl.html(Reuters) - Television sports announcer Al Michaels was arrested over the weekend in Santa Monica, California, and charged with a misdemeanor offense of driving while under the influence, police officials said on Sunday.
The 68-year-old sportscaster was pulled over on Michigan Avenue in Santa Monica after two officers saw him make an illegal U-turn, Santa Monica Police Sergeant Rich Lewis told Reuters.
The officers administered a sobriety test after they observed that Michaels smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech, Lewis said. Michaels was arrested for driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater, he said.
Sergeant Lewis declined to say what Michaels' blood alcohol content registered at, but he did say Michaels was "cooperative."
Michaels, a veteran play-by-play announcer for NBC's "Sunday Night Football," was arrested at 9:59 p.m. local time on Friday, according to the Los Angeles Inmate Information Center website.
He was released on Saturday and was scheduled to appear at the Los Angeles Municipal Court on June 26, according to the site.
Michaels was not immediately available for comment.
An NBC spokesman said, "we are aware of the situation and we've spoken to Al. We have no further comment at this time."

Had two different readings, one at and one just over the limit.
He'll get off easily...
Reese Witherspoon....I would hit that until the earth ceased to spin. Cawp has no heart.
Oh wait.
There wil be a fine but I'm think there will also be an awareness class he will have to attend, at least thats what happens in MA. Hopefully he's learned his message.
f uck that guy
He doesnt bother me at all and seems to do a lot of good things charity wise.
He seems more of regular guy who made good and shows some appreciation and respect for his audience which is more than I can say for Fartsy Frantanker.
Now as a Jets QB, he blew chunks.
And chunks is my dog.
Cop: Sir, what's in the bottle?
Al Michaels: Oh, this? This is just water, officer.
Cop: Let me see that... (grabs bottle, sniffs contents). This is wine!!
Al Michaels: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!!??
Boomer is paid to be opinionated, the difference is he is respectful and open-minded when callers disagree with him. I dont care if he doesnt change his mind, I only care that he has a fundamental respect for the opinions of others which I think he does.
farcical, Lest anyone believe...

Royals' big pitch to win now exciting to Shields
KANSAS CITY -- James Shields liked what he heard from Royals general manager Dayton Moore when he welcomed the pitcher to his new home.
"It sounds like he wants to win and wants to win now," Shields said, "and that's what I'm all about. I want to win this season and not worry about years down the road. I'm worried about winning right now."
That was the impetus for a six-player trade that Moore consummated with Tampa Bay, sending four Minor League prospects to the Rays for two seasoned pitchers, Shields and Wade Davis.
"If we want our young players to reach their ceiling, you've got to win games at the Major League level and James Shields and Wade Davis put us in a position to do just that," Moore said.
Moore and his two new right-handed starters talked on Monday to the media -- the GM in person and the pitchers on the phone -- about Sunday night's big trade. The Royals gave up their top hitting prospect, outfielder Wil Myers, and their top pitching prospect, right-hander Jake Odorizzi, plus left-handed pitcher Mike Montgomery and third baseman Patrick Leonard.
Royals pitcher Danny Duffy, at Kauffman Stadium to have his repaired left elbow checked, happened by the media gathering and provided a player's point of view.
"It tells that you that we're serious," Duffy said. "I'm so excited, so stoked."
And Duffy is one of the pitchers, when he does return in May or June, who might find himself squeezed out of a rotation spot. Pennant fever seems to be spreading.
Manager Ned Yost, from his farm in Georgia, affirmed that Shields takes over as his No. 1 starter.
"We gave up some great players, but we got some great players back," Yost said. "We need to solidify our starting pitching and this gives us a real shot. We can send a quality starter out there every single day, so we're happy about it."
Yost also confirmed that Davis, who worked out of the Rays' bullpen this year, will return to a starting role.
But there will be a scramble for the four spots behind Shields. Previous offseason moves brought in Ervin Santana from the Los Angeles Angels and brought back Jeremy Guthrie from the free-agent ranks.
Then there's left-hander Bruce Chen, the Royals' top winner the last three seasons, and right-hander Luke Hochevar, still held in high esteem. (Moore, asked if he'd have non-tendered Hochevar if he'd known about the Rays trade beforehand, replied: "No, we believe in Luke. There's a lot of talent there.")
And don't forget Luis Mendoza and Will Smith, both starters last season. That's eight right there, not even counting Duffy and Felipe Paulino who'll be coming off Tommy John surgery around midseason or so.
"We'll sort it through," Yost said. "You can never have enough quality pitching. That's always the way that it is. You think you have enough and then, at the end, you just don't. So we'll sort through it and figure it out. We're going to pick the best five guys that give us an opportunity to win every single day."
That's an exciting prospect for a manager who saw his Royals short-circuited by a 12-game skid virtually at the get-go last April.
"You get a rotation like this, you're not going through a 12-game losing streak like we had last year," Yost said. "We've got guys that can stop it every single day."
Shields, a hard-working horse of a right-hander, is the type of starter that prompted the Royals to trade the future for more immediate results.
In the case of Shields, he could become a free agent after two Kansas City seasons while Myers or Odorizzi could be around for at least six years. But Moore was able to hold onto his core Major League lineup of young players and not give up anyone from a strong bullpen in this deal.
"Major League players have a small window of opportunity to win together and we exist as a baseball operations staff to make sure this core group gets that opportunity," Moore said.
The Royals have had just one winning season in the last 18 years and lost 100 or more games four times. Shields recalled arriving at Tampa Bay in 2006 during a bleak period that turned around so dramatically that he was pitching in a World Series by 2008.
"I've been there -- I've lost 100 games before and I've also won 96, 97 games, too," Shields said. "So I think me and Wade can bring a little bit to the table as far as knowing what it takes to win, and we're definitely going to try to do that this next year."
In recent years, Shields shared center stage with David Price, but he likes the idea of being the "the guy" on a pitching staff.
"I definitely relish that," he said. "I'm not the type of player that puts too much pressure on myself, I just like to go out and pitch my game. I feel like I'm an inning-eater, I can pitch every five days and go out there with my heart on my sleeve and lay it all out on the line."
Davis, a Rays rotation regular in 2010-11, pitched strictly in relief last year but is eager to resume starting.
"Yeah, absolutely." Davis said. "I was working out, being prepared for that, when the World Series was going on. It's something that I knew I'd get the opportunity to do and I'll be ready."
His time in the bullpen was an education.
"I think I learned how to put my foot on the gas pedal from the get-go instead of working into a rhythm and being ready to go at the start of a game," he said.
Shields, by the way, made life miserable for the Royals, posting a 7-2 career record against them in 10 starts.
"He's made life miserable for a lot of people over the years," Yost said. "That's why it's exciting to have him."

Optimism high for new board
November 20, 2013
Imagine a diverse, independent thinking City Council that can discuss the issues without all the backbiting that has plagued previous incarnations....
Back biting & stabbing was voted out. Moron #1 & moron #2, both RAGs, have been shown the door. Residents want more than the use of the word NO, they want alternatives, options and solutions. Both morons had nothing to offer but vicious lies and agendas. The truth be told, the RAGs do not want the Cape to be nothing more than a sleepy, bedroom community where the RAGs can sit around, drink and complain. The voters have spoken. Good luck with the new Council.

Surface Pro Battery Life
All-day battery life for mobile devices is a key feature, but Microsoft must have missed the memo. One of the biggest complaints about the business-focused Surface Pro wasn't Windows 8 or the missing "Start" menu but the four-hour battery life of the tablet. The culprit behind the lackluster battery life is easy to find; the Surface Pro runs on an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor, which offers more performance -- but sucks up more energy -- than an Intel Atom processor or similar mobile chip. But, solution providers say even with the higher performance, the Surface Pro's limited battery life doesn't compare favorably to competing tablets that offer all-day battery life.

Snow, record cold, wind chills — sounds like the perfect recipe for National Soup Month. Just ask Olga Sorzano.
"I'm from Russia, and we had soup at pretty much every meal," described the chef and owner of LOST Gourmet in Downingtown.
In her native Siberia, "the soups are more substantial, like a stew," she said. "It's cold, and a lot of people have very physical jobs."
"My very favorite Russian soup is borscht," added Sorzano, who focuses on local, organic, sustainable and traditional food — hence the acronym "LOST." When cooler temperatures arrive, customers request more soup.
Homemade soup has "healing and nourishing properties," she said. "The Jewish saying that chicken soup is like penicillin: People think you can grab a can, and it's the same thing. It's not the same thing."
Amy McAtee of Honey in Doylestown also believes in the power of soup.
"There's something very full and satisfying about a homemade soup," she insisted. "'It warms my soul,' I always say."
Her husband, Joe, is the restaurant's head chef.
"Joe is a soup man. He makes amazing soups. People go crazy for his soups," McAtee said. "He doesn't cook from recipes. He cooks with a lot of love. You just really taste the layers of time and effort he puts into the soup."
Soon fans may be able to order his soups for takeout too. A recent favorite: cream of sunchoke.
"It was made from sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes," McAtee said. "The texture of it was just so silky and velvety. It was just the right balance of salty and nutty."
"Before we opened Honey restaurant, we were going to do an online soup company," she revealed. "We definitely have a passion for soup."
So does Jason Belkov, executive chef of 1906 at Longwood Gardens. He serves four soups daily.
"We'll go through 100 gallons of soup on a busy day," Belkov said. "I like that it's the perfect start of a meal."
His mushroom soup boasts a loyal following.
"People come back for it. It's very popular," he acknowledged. "We get repeat customers who've been coming back for years."
So what's his secret?
"We use a lot of different kinds of mushrooms to enrich the flavor. A lot of time goes into making the stock," explained Belkov.
At Montesano Bros. Italian Market and Catering in Eagle and Bucktown, "The first thing most people ask is, 'What are your soups for today?'" said Michael Montesano. "The two most popular here are the escarole and pasta e fagioli or pasta 'fazool.'"
He enjoys chowders like clam or sweet corn and crab. Other big sellers include mushroom bisque and ginger carrot.
"We usually run two soups a day, and we always have it in the refrigerator and freezer to take home," Montesano said.
Back at LOST Gourmet, the importance of National Soup Month isn't lost on Olga Sorzano.
"Soup doesn't have to be complicated ... just warm and satisfying," she stressed.

Winter Borscht
1˝ pounds beef spare ribs
1 or 2 parsley roots, scrubbed
3 bay leaves
10 peppercorns
1 large potato, cut into ˝-inch cubes
2 cups green cabbage, shredded

Taking stock
"I think the secret of a good soup is a really good broth, a really good bone broth," said Olga Sorzano of LOST Gourmet. "Making bone broth is extremely, extremely easy."
She shared her recipe for healing chicken broth.
"I like to simmer my stock overnight," Sorzano explained. "The longer you cook the stock, the richer and more nourishing it will be."
An optional addition: chicken feet.
"Some people might feel uncomfortable using chicken feet, however they are very nourishing and add a great deal of gelatin to the finished product," she noted.
Apple cider vinegar provides another nutritional boost.
"Adding apple cider vinegar helps to draw out the nutrients, especially calcium, from the chicken bones," Sorzano described.
Healing Chicken Broth
1 whole free-range chicken or 3 pounds of bony chicken parts, such as necks, backs, breastbones and wings
4 chicken feet, optional
1 gallon cold filtered water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cups onions, coarsely chopped
1 cup carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup celery, coarsely chopped
1 bunch parsley
1 tablespoon peppercorns
2 bay leaves
Place all the ingredients in a large stainless steel pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and remove froth that rises to the top. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered anywhere from 4 to 24 hours. If cooking for longer than 4 hours, occasionally check the stock and add additional water, if necessary.
Remove whole chicken or pieces with a slotted spoon. If using a whole chicken, let cool and remove chicken meat from the carcass. Reserve for other uses, such as chicken salads, enchiladas, sandwiches or curries. Strain the stock into a large bowl and reserve in the refrigerator until the fat rises to the top and solidifies. Gently remove the fat with a spoon. Store stock in a glass container for up to a week. Stocks may be stored in the freezer for several months.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Amid the worst tension between Israel and the US in over 30 years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening addressed the annual AIPAC conference in Washington and strongly reaffirmed Israel's right to all of Jerusalem.
The current row between Netanyahu and the Obama Administration started more than a week ago when Israel announced a new building project in a disputed eastern Jerusalem Jewish neighborhood while US Vice President Joe Biden was visiting.
Washington saw the announcement as an insult, considering that it has backed the Palestinian demand that eastern Jerusalem be surrendered and that Jewish building there come to a halt.
Netanyahu won thunderous applause on Monday when he told AIPAC supporters that the US needs to reevaluate its policies if it wants to successfully oversee a Middle East peace deal.
"Jerusalem is not a settlement," insisted Netanyahu. "Everyone knows that these neighborhoods will be part of Israel in any peace settlement."
Netanyahu was more conciliatory earlier in the day when he met with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who last week unleashed some of the more hostile rhetoric in response to the Ramat Shlomo building project.
Netanyahu reportedly presented Clinton with a diagram of the long and complicated approval process such building projects go through, and noted that it was merely a coincidence that it was approved while Biden was in town. Unfortunately, the Palestinians and the international media took the opportunity to create a storm out of the incident.
Netanyahu was scheduled to meet with US President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday. It was announced that the meeting would take place behind closed doors and be off limits to the media, a clear break from protocol.
Israeli media noted that the decision to not allow the press near the meeting indicated that it would not be a friendly gathering, and that much tension still lingers between the two leaders.

Denison junior Eddie Vita scored one minute and eight seconds into the third overtime, propelling the 11th-ranked Big Red to a 10-9 victory over Haverford on Saturday afternoon from Swan Field in Haverford, Pa.
Tied at 8-8, the Fords' Geoff Geppert scored his fifth goal of the season with 1:58 left in regulation. Exactly 50 seconds later, freshman Blair Farinholt took a pass from classmate Justin DeMarchi and fired a shot past Eric Caliendo to tie the contest at 9-9.
In the first four-minute overtime period, Denison outshot Haverford 5-1, including a 3-1 edge in shots on cage. The momentum flipped in the second OT session with the Fords attempting all three shots during the four-minute span. With 1:37 to go, DU goalie Chris Thomas corralled a shot by Geppert. However, Haverford regained possession when Tommy Harrison was called for a slash. During the EMO, Geppert had another chance to end the game, but hit the crossbar. Thomas scooped up the ground ball, leading to a successful clear attempt for the Big Red.
Chip Phillips won the opening faceoff of the third overtime to give Denison the first possession of the period. With just over a minute gone, Farinholt fed a pass to Vita who was streaking towards the cage. Vita took the pass, did a double pump fake and fired a downward shot over Caliendo for the game-winning score.
Denison held a 2-1 lead after the first 15 minutes thanks to an unassisted goal by Chapin Speidel and a Teddy Powell score off an assist from Nick Verklin. Roughly three minutes into the second quarter, the Fords' Jack Bodine tied the game at 2-2.
At 4:04 in the second, DU kicked off a string of four-straight goals to take a 6-2 advantage. Matt Neeson opened the run with a score, while Speidel added a man-up goal with 18 seconds left in the half. Eleven seconds into the third period, Vita logged another man-up tally off an assist from Powell. Just 48 seconds later, Ben Hearn scored an unassisted man-down score to build the four-goal advantage.
The Haverford offense took over the rest of the third quarter, rattling off four-consecutive goals to knot the game at 6-6. Christian Clay provided a man-up goal and the game-tying tally, while Geppert and Dan LoSardo also scored during the run. The Fords took their first lead of the afternoon when Will Weissberg found LoSardo at 12:47 of the fourth quarter.
With 9:09 to play, Speidel tied the contest with his ninth goal of the season off an assist from Powell. However, Clay regained the lead for Haveford just 38 seconds later. At the 6:44 mark, Vita found DeMarchi for his third goal of the season to knot the contest at 8-8.
Speidel paced the Big Red attack with three goals and an assist, while Vita and Powell each logged three points. Vita scored two goals and an assist, while Powell posted a goal and two helpers. DeMarchi and Farinholt also added a goal and an assist.
Harrison led the defense with six ground balls, while Austin Campbell scooped up five ground balls and forced three turnovers. Phillips was 7-for-14 at the X, while Thomas made 10 saves in 69 minutes between the pipes.
Denison outshot Haverford 38-29 and held a 47-33 advantage in ground balls. The Big Red converted on two of their three man-up chances, while Haverford scored on just 2-of-10 extra-man situations.
Clay paced the Fords with three goals and an assist, while Geppert scored twice and assisted on two goals. LoSardo chipped in two tallies, while Bodine had a goal and two helpers. Caliendo made 16 saves, while Scott Chanelli scooped up nine ground balls.
DU improves to 3-1 on the season, while Haverford falls to 1-3. Denison returns to action on Wednesday against St. Mary's (Md.) at 12 p.m. The two teams will square off at Johns Hopkins University.

The Superior Food Bank received several generous holiday donations this year which helped them to prepare 275 food boxes for families in Superior for the Christmas holiday.
Resolution Copper ordered $4,000 in food products from Save Money Market to make a substantial donation to the Superior Food Bank this season. Several members of their staff also volunteered time to help fill food boxes.
"Without the donation from Resolution Copper, our holiday food boxes would have been very limited," explained Pastor Dennis Van Gorp who is a board member for the Superior Food Bank.
