Doyle Speaks of Wonder, Mercy, and the Wildby Steve Charles • February 26, 2013 Share:
An acclaimed author who has shaped the work of Wabash writers, readers, and teachers visits the Wabash College campus Thursday, February 28 for two readings.
Brian Doyle, whose most recent books include the novel Mink River, the short story collection Bin Laden's Bald Spot and Other Stories, and Grace Notes, a series of nature and spiritual essays, will talk about his book The Grail: A Year in Search of the Perfect Pinot Noir, at 4:30 p.m. in Detchon International Hall.
At 8 p.m. in Korb Classroom he will read from his other works and take audience questions in a presentation titled "Notes on Wonder and Kids and Mercy and Hawks and Other Wild and Confusing Miracles…"
Doyle's essay "Leaping" was featured in the PBS Documentary Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero, and his writing is regularly included in the Best American Nature Writing, Best American Essays, and Best American Spiritual Writing series.
Those anthologies is where local writer and Wabash and Crawfordsville High School English teacher Helen Hudson first encountered Doyle's work during the time she was a stay-at-home mom. She calls him one of her "life heroes."
"Our children were small and I was crying out for intellectual companionship," Hudson recalls. "His essays were among the most important touchstones for me, these reflections on parenting from a thoughtful, writerly person. Brian has an essay written when his twins were babies about the start of language and about his Irish roots…it's magical."
Doyle's presentation about Portland Magazine, the award-winning journal he edits for the University of Portland, also inspired a change in direction for Wabash Magazine, the journal of Wabash College.
"Brian's talks are always passionate, entertaining, and about things that matter to folks," says the magazine's editor, Steve Charles. "He spoke about including the best writers in the world in his magazine, about helping students, faculty, and alumni find their voice there, and I realized our own magazine could be not just information, but an expressive place for the Wabash community."
"Brian is one of those rare writers whose generous and playful spirit matches his prose," says Wabash College English Professor Eric Freeze, who hosted Doyle when he was teaching at Eureka College. "I know that he will be entertaining and engaging, I know that students will benefit from his expertise, and I know that people will be moved.
"As for what to expect, all I'll say is that Doyle can be a bit of a wild card. He reads and performs much like a jazz musician, with a table full of manuscripts in various stages of completion. He'll riff on a theme and sometimes take it to the audience to make up the rest."
Division II Administrative Assistant Violet Mayberry read Doyle's work for the first time while publicizing the upcoming readings and was caught up in his writing.
"Doyle's unexpected style seems to captivate a wide audience. From wine, to grace, to the heart of a hummingbird, Doyle's insight demands attention," Mayberry says. "Imagine a writer who speaks to everyone without having to change languages and you may begin to envision the experience Doyle offers in his writing.
Doyle will sign books following the February 28 reading at 8 p.m.
His talk at 4:30 will focus on his year at an Oregon vineyard and is hosted by Wabash Director of New Media and wine writer Howard Hewitt.
"Doyle's great narrative about one year in Oregon Vineyard's weaves a tale beyond the story of a winery," Hewitt said. "The Grail explores some of the Indian history in the hills just outside Portland and a year in the life of Jesse Lange at Lange Estate Winery. It's great story telling for the wine lover and teetotaler alike."
Both readings are free and open to the public.

Dylan Ratigan On The Grand Political Delusion: "Wake Up America! Both Parties Are The SAME! Six Industries Control Everything! It's Time For Independents To Rise!"
Video - Dylan Ratigan On Independents' Day - July 4, 2011
Corporate crapitalism.
Watch at least the first few minutes of this clip. The intro is outstanding.
Ratigan rocks the house, and repeats what we've been saying for 32 months. Corporate, crony crapitalism is the order of the day. Both sides create the illusion (delusion, really) of distinction over worthless minutia, meanwhile GE, Exxon and News Corp. pay no taxes regardless of which side might temporarily wield the power of majority. And party tribalists (80% of voters) are played for suckers.
The rest of us, who long ago figured out the malevolent game of corporate charades, are left wondering when the masses will emerge and awake from their collective loyalist stupor.
The false left-right paradigm is destroying this country and we have finally had enough.
Corporations run Congress and write legislation via K-Street lobbyists masquerading as boozing, pay-for-play prostitutes, who no longer even feign an attempt at hiding their misdeeds, as evidenced by our last story.
Wake up America. Turn off ABC's Dancing With Bristol Palin, and tell American Idol to shove Simon Cowell's ego straight up his spray-on-tanned, lower excretive orifice. The future of your nation is at stake, and it's about 2-decades past time to stop fu*%#king around and start paying attention.
Libertarians and independents must unite to end the tribalist siege.

WoW Warbringer Change
Will warbringer change nerf them for PVP? Yes, aside from stuns and dismantle, rooting or snaring the prot warrior is the major way to keep him off of you. Considering all of the stuns and silence that prot has, when they can also jump out of every frost nova warbringer, then there is not much in the way of skill a mage can employ to stay alive. They just get countered in every way. And also it will nerf them for PVE? But it is really slightly. I am not sure I can ever remember a case in my wow gold playing history where my warrior of some other tank caused a wipe because of a root, so even if it did happen, I can not happen that much or be that memorable. Warriors certainly will not get sat because of some new Achilles' heel and we do not design encounters around the assumption that tanks can not be rooted. The important part of warbringer from a PVE perspective, removing the stance restrictions is still intact. Now the damage changes.

It has been quite an exciting weekend in the tournament world. Unexpected by most, we saw some incredible displays of skill-level thought to be unreachable with the current build of wow gold. I personally could not make it past the 8:00AM marker Saturday morning about wow gold, but overall I hope you enjoyed the coverage early last week and the past three days; especially if you were awake for what was arguably the best come back and match of WoW tournament history. A lot was at stake for many teams entering the tournament; SK-USA to put their money where one of their mouths was to get wow gold, Korean RMPs to show that they had the ability to still take the comp to the top, and the tournament in general to not end up as an epic failure due to WotLK and level 80. Needless to say, I do not think anyone was really all that disappointed with the results. It was unfortunate that America was not able to do as well as others, but from a viewer standpoint, the tournament was still baler to get wow gold. I am really ashamed, albeit not surprised, at how some of the American teams chose to respond to their losses. It was pretty goddamn ridiculous, and throwing teammates on the chopping block is so deplorable in so many ways. In terms of SK-USA, calling out Realz as the deciding factor for falling out of the tournament is speaks volumes of the integrity of the team. Too many excuses for losing about wow gold, and yet people are confused when it is blatantly evident as to why USA teams have been struggling at recent tournaments. When you are facing Korean RMPs that have stuck with their same classes and make ups for thousands of games, have much better unity and friendship within the actual team, and have not rotated sponsors 20 times with different players each swap, it is pretty obvious as to why they are successful.

The Best of the Worst Buckeye Sites on the Web
Many of you probably thought there was no way we could top the first two sites we featured here (the "Screw Michigan Store" selling a full line of "F*ck Michigan" products including an infant onsey and the basic "F*ck Michigan" website). But we did. And sometimes the comedy just writes itself. Especially when Buckeye fans try to combine their hate for Michigan (large) with their creativity (not so large).
Here is a site we stumbled across with the title, "Friends don't let friends cheer for Michigan." But if you click on the link, you see, not a Michigan pic but an "alien head" next to this text:
"Having a few drarings that we drew we are deciding to start making shirts. we havent actually made the shirts but we will let you know when we are ready to sell!!
Just e-mail us about what kind of shirt you want and we will draw them for you and display them!!!"
Even better, the shirts are only $5! How can you go wrong? So, we decided to have a look around the site of this obvious Buckeye English Lit major to see if his artwork was as good as his spelling. There are nine masterpieces showcased and here are some of our favorite designs. Let's start with "Draring #1" (Their spelling, not mine). The text reads:
"We like Ohio State football, so if you are a michigan fan go ruck yourself!!! Here are some cool drarings that we have made!!"
And here is the first of those "cool drarings."
Yes, we know they're very big on the word "THE" before the name of their school. We just didn't realize their official moniker was THE State Ohio. Then again, what do Michigan fans know. We're too busy "rucking" ourselves. But hey, it's nice to see someone as bad at Photoshop as we are.
Now, this shirt below, I can't for the life of me understand how they intend to sell it for just $5 as it's a two-sider. On the front of "Draring #4&5" is:
Now, when I first saw this, I mistakenly thought it meant THE State Ohio was a toilet (at least we agree on something) while Michigan was the blue bowl cleaner. Then I saw the back of the shirt:
That's when I realized Michigan was shaped like Long Island in the eyes of this artist. Oh, wait, let me see that again...is he...is he saying...that Michigan is a big piece of shit with a chunk of yellow corn in it?! ha..haha...HAHAHA! NOW I get it. LOL! The subtle genius of it all. Like any good art, sometimes you miss the complexity with only one viewing.
Next, after "Drarings #4&5" was "Draring #9" (yes, they're numbered this way). Under the text, "Homestar Hitler!!! HAHA!" was this little gem:
Because nothing, and I mean nothing, says funny like Hitler. Seriously, this was almost as funny as the outtake reel on the Schindler's List DVD.
But our favorite (if you force us to pick just one) was the last one, (naturally) "Draring #7":
I liked this one the most because it really captured, in a very beautiful way, the class of THE State Ohio fan. You have the Columbus Salute - "F*CK MICHIGAN" - boldly displayed (no more of that "ruck" crap, I tell ya. For the actual shirts, it's "F*CK" all the way, baby!). Then you have Brutus holding a machine gun which, as evidenced by the bullet-riddled body at his feet, he's just used to shoot the Michigan fan on the ground, saving one shot to blow a hole in his face. But personally, what spoke to me, what said, "Bravo!" was the sly wink Brutus is giving after uttering his favorite phrase following the murder.
Sometimes you can't utter the word "genius" enough. This is one of those times, folks.
If you've stumbled across a site that you feel we should feature, please email us.

That's GOTTA be a joke site... right?

Now, as with most Buckeye sites, you would THINK the answer is yes. But, sadly, it is not.

Do they give discounts if you buy in bulk?

OK, that was about the most unintentionally funny thing I've seen since I first watched "Plan 9 from Outer Space."
Of course, the use of the word "pooo" does make me suspect the whole thing was set up by a four year old. A violent four year old.
- January 12, 2006 11:02 AM
- Yost said...
Yeah, a 4 yr old who uses "pooo" in one pic then goes right for "F*ck Michigan" on the other. Well done, mom and dad.

I can't believe they have all these amazing drarings and not one that mentions "Meatchicken."
- January 12, 2006 12:10 PM
- Yost said...
Man, he couldn't spell "drawings." Meatchicken was an upper level class.
- January 12, 2006 12:15 PM
What I can't believe is that this guy is a homestarrunner.com fan. That seems several levels beyond his sense of humor. I don't even know how he figured out how to put a website up. Come on, when you think about it, it has to be about a 12 or 13-year-old kid, right? Otherwise the prospect of him walking around unchaperoned is just too scary.

There's no good spin here, guys. If he is a 12 or 13 year old kid, then mom and dad need to pay a little more attention to Junior's love of turds and guns.
And if he is that young, wonder where he learned to express his "love" of Ohio State in such a classy way. Probably from dear ol' dad.

Um, so the drarings thing is an old Saturday Night Live sketch with Mike Meyers. He was supposed to be a little British kid in a bathtub and he would sing "oh you know my name is Simon, and I like to do drarings."
- February 01, 2006 3:08 AM
- Yost said...
You really think, judging by the guy's artwork, he's hip enough to do an inside joke like that?
I'd have to vote no.
- February 01, 2006 3:11 AM
I thought the poo looked like Lake Erie, I mean they go the color right...and the yello dot represented where they thought Michigan was located on a map. I hear there are a lot of Geography majors at THE Ohio State University!
- March 23, 2006 5:35 PM
It was actually done by a Michigan fan in order to make it look like a little kid did it. seriously.

- May 12, 2006 8:21 PM
I was just perusing the archives when I stumbled across this gem. I can't believe I had forgotten about this one since it was this very bit that made me bookmark this blog. I laughed 'til I cried, just like the first time (reading the post, that is).
Was draring #8 (listed first, DUH) on the site when you posted this? That has got to be the lamest piece of shit I've ever had the misfortune of laying eyes on. That might be the proof that this was done by a 3rd grader.
How about draring #6 (logically nestled in between #'s 9 and 7 - in that order)? I love the dash in "Michigan". That oughta look sweet on a T-shirt.
- July 08, 2006 12:44 AM
Every college (and pro team for that matter), has idiot fans. I don't know about a majority, but many Ohio State fans respect our opponents, especially Michigan. Don't be as big of an idiot as some of these people by thinking all Ohio State fans are like this.
The Game = the best there is to offer in all of college football.
The Big Ten is still year in and year out the best conference in all of college football.

Taylor Heinicke has two seasons and heaven-knows-how-many passing yards ahead of him at Old Dominion. But few, if any, Monarchs were more distraught after Saturday's 49-35 playoff loss to Georgia Southern.
"He was crushed in the locker room," ODU coach Bobby Wilder said. "He felt like, it's almost laughable for me to say this, but he felt like he didn't do enough."
On a day in which he set Championship Subdivision single-season records for passing yards and completions, Heinicke passed for 421 yards and three touchdowns, the first of which was a suitable-for-framng 74-yard post route to Antonio Vaughan, the last of which, an 8-yarder to senior Nick Mayers, gave the Monarchs a 35-21 lead late in the third quarter.
But in the fourth quarter Heinicke lost a fumble and threw an interception, ODU's lone and dooming turnovers. The latter came in the waning moments with the Monarchs trailing 42-35; the first, and game-changer, occurred early in the period with ODU threatening to expand a 35-28 lead.
It was third-and-6 from Georgia Southern's 12, and with his primary receiver covered, Heinicke was waiting for a second target who was just about to break open.
"I was about to pull the pin," Heinicke said, "and I just got hit. I didn't see it coming."
Defensive end Dion Dubose blindsided Heinicke, and linebacker Patrick Flowe recovered at the 21. The Eagles promptly drove 79 yards to the tying touchdown.
With ODU upgrading to the Bowl Subdivision, Heinicke's playoff and postseason career – the Monarchs are not bowl-eligible in 2013 or '14 – are over. He departs with 19 touchdown passes and one interception in four playoff outings.
I for one am curious to see him next season against an exponentially more difficult schedule that includes Maryland, North Carolina and East Carolina. Is his arm strong enough? Is he as fast as he appears against FCS defenders? Will he be as effective without Mayers, his favorite receiver?
Heinicke is wasting no time preparing to answer the questions.
"The offseason," he said, "starts tomorrow."
Courtesy of ODU football's media relations director Eric Bohannon, here are Heinicke's FCS season records and near-misses this year.
Passing yards: Heinicke finished with 5,076, eclipsing Steve McNair, who threw for 4,863 at Alcorn State in 1994.
Completions: Heinicke's 398 surpass Villanova's Brett Gordon's 385 in 2002.
Games with 200-plus yards passing: Heinicke's 13 equal the mark set by Stephen F. Austin's Jeremy Moses in 2009 and matched in 2011 by Lehigh's Chris Lum.
Total offense plays (passes plus rushes): Heinicke's 705 break the record of 680 set by Grambling's Bruce Eugene in 2002.
Passing yards per game: Heinicke's 390.5 rank third behind McNair's 442.1 in 1994 and Mississippi Valley State's Willie Totten's 455.7 in 1984.
Touchdown passes: Heinicke's 44 tie McNair for third behind Totten's and Eugene's 56 from 1984 and 2005, respectively.
Total offense: Heinicke's 5,546 yards are second to McNair's 5,799 in 1994.
Passing attempts: Heinicke's 579 are second to Moses' 598 in 2008.
And let's not forget Heinicke's mind-bending performance against New Hampshire. He set Division I records for passing yards (730), total offense (791 yards) and passes without a pick (79) in a 64-61 victory.
His season totals: 398-of-579 (68.7 percent), for 5,076 yards, 44 touchdowns and 14 picks; 126 rushes for 470 yards and 11 scores.
"That's a great offense we faced," Georgia Southern coach Jeff Monken said.
Taylor Heinicke made it great. Making it great again is his next challenge.

Falling commodity prices coupled with China's structural slowdown will help create a new generation of emerging market (EM) "growth stars" across Europe and Asia, according to economists at independent research firm Capital Economics.
Falling commodity prices coupled with China's structural slowdown will help create a new generation of emerging market (EM) "growth stars" across Europe and Asia, according to economists at independent research firm Capital Economics.
Poland, Turkey, the Philippines and Indonesia were all cited as middle income manufacturing-based countries set to gain from cheaper commodity imports and a deceleration in the world's second-biggest economy.
"To the extent that China's structural slowdown reflects its transition from low to middle income status, opportunities will present themselves for other EMs as China moves up the value chain," wrote Capital Economics economist David Rees, in a research note on Thursday.
(Read More: IMF Warns of 'Middle-Income Trap' in Emerging Asia)
China posted first quarter GDP numbers that disappointed investors last week. The economy grew by 7.7 percent in the first three months of the year, missing forecasts of 8 percent, and down on fourth quarter growth of 7.9 percent.
Also, the flash HSBC purchasing managers' index (PMI) out this week confirmed fears of slowing growth, with the index falling to a two-month low of 50.5 for April.
(Read More: China's Credit Bubble: Where Did All the Money Go?)
In another Capital Economics note on Friday, senior global economist Andrew Kenningham said that falling commodity prices – in part caused by China's slowdown - would have the additional benefit of allowing countries scope for further monetary stimulus, because of lower inflation pressures.
"While it would be a blow for some places, slower growth in China would have some offsetting benefits… slower but more sustainable growth in China may ultimately be a positive for global growth," said Kenningham.
Falling oil prices could also boost disposable incomes and raise consumer spending capacity, spurring growth, according to an HSBC note on Friday. In it, global economist Madhur Jha named Turkey, Vietnam and India as likely to benefit from the fall-off.
(Read More: Is Oil's Slide Good News or Bad News for Stocks?)
However, the Capital Economics economists warned that China's fellow BRICs – India, Brazil and Russia – may mimic its slowdown in the coming years.
"It's worth noting that despite all of this, China is likely to remain the fastest growing major emerging economy over the next decade. But there is a good chance that our "growth stars" will outpace Brazil and Russia. And a handful – mainly in Africa and South East Asia – look likely to outperform India too," said Capital Economics chief emerging markets economist Neil Shearing.
While, Capital Economics forecast manufacturing-based emerging markets will outperform those based on commodities, Mexico and low-income African countries were highlighted as exceptions to the rule.
"In Africa, we think most economies can grow at decent rates of 5 percent or more over the next decade, simply by maintaining fiscal and monetary discipline and continuing to open up to trade and investment.
"Politics is far more volatile, meaning the economic outlook over a longer run is more uncertain than in more developed EMs. But with this caveat in mind, we are particularly upbeat on Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya," said Shearing.
While Mexico's economy is based on commodity exportation, direct trade with China is very limited. Plus, the prospect of a fresh wave of economic reforms under a new president, coupled with its close ties to the recovering U.S. economy, meant Shearing forecast it will outpace Brazil in the years ahead.
(Read More: What's Behind the Decline in Mexican Farm Workers?)
"At a country level, Mexico is likely to outperform Brazil over the coming years. Elsewhere, in Emerging Europe, we think Turkey and Poland could overtake Russia as the region's growth market," he said.

This Amazon Aeroponic Hydroponic grow kit includes everything needed from seed to harvest. We are here to help you every step of the way with your growing kit, so please contact us for any advice if required!
To start your favourite seeds or cuttings we have supplied a Maxibright 125watt Blue CFL propagation light and timer and a Root-It Propagation kit which includes Propagator, 24x Root!t organic sponge seedling/cutting cubes, Root-it Gel, Root-It First Feed, Sterile Scalpel and 'How to' guide on achieving great results from your cuttings or seeds.
To supply light to your favourite plants when transferred to your Amazon Aeroponic system we have supplied a Maxibright 600watt Compact Ballast, Euro reflector, Sunmaster 600watt Dual Spectrum HPS lamp, Lumii grow light controller/timer and a pair of Ratchet Hangers to suspend your light.
For odour-less ventilation, we have included the quality Rhino 100mm single speed in-line fan (wired with a 2mtr cable and UK plug) Carbon filter from Rhino Pro Filters, ducting and fastening clips.
The Amazon is an Aeroponic Hydroponic growing system (800mm x 750mm x 400mm). Young plants or rooted cuttings are placed into 50mm or 80mm mesh pots and suspended in a misting chamber that sits on top of a nutrient solution tank. The roots are constantly misted with nutrient solution whilst being suspended in air, the roots then grow down into the chamber. Unused nutrient solution drains back into the tank so there is no water-logging and no restriction of oxygen to the roots, plus there is no build-up of damaging nutrient salt's in the root zone.
Plants grown in an Amazon system have constant access to nutrient solution and oxygen. They take up much more water and nutrients than plants fed a few times a day. The more oxygen, water and nutrients a plant can absorb, the more explosive the growth and better the yield!
To feed your plants we have supplied the now legendary UK formulated Plant Magic Hydro Grow A&B, Plant Magic Hydro Bloom A&B nutrients and Plant Magic Root Stimulant to enhance fast, healthy root production. Plant Magic nutrients are ideal for healthy growth and high yields in an Amazon Aeroponic growing system.
To maintain the optimum pH level in your tank we have supplied pH Down acid, dosing pipette and a simple pH test kit. Just to ensure a healthy grow we have supplied a digital Hygrometer which will monitor temperature and humidity and help you to maintain a healthy environment.
Top Tips:
1) Transplant 50mm mesh pots directly from the X-Stream Aeroponic Propagator or transplant cuttings into the 80mm mesh pots with only a few clay pebbles!
2) Leave the pump on 24/7 for optimum Aeroponic results.
3) Use the Clone collars supplied to block lid holes that are not in use.
4) As with NFT, cuttings must be root bound before transplanting into an Amazon system.

Team Maxercise gang!
I count all of you who read my blog and send your kind comments (many of you at the far reaches of the world) as part of my extended team.
Your intrepid coach, always searching and seeking, passed a marvelous weekend in the Danish wonderland known as Solvang CA, where I'd arranged to meet two of the most interesting characters in the fitness biz, Erwan LeCorre and Barefoot Ted. I've spoken before about Georges Hebert and the Methode Naturelle. Well, last Sunday I finally met the guy who continues to carry Hebert's torch. His name is Erwan and he's spent many years researching and refining the Hebert methodology. He read my blog recently and contacted me, sending along what I consider one of the most beautiful physical culture video clips I've ever seen. Erwan is re-establishing the Hebert method in an updated version which he calls MovNat and you'll be hearing about it very soon. He has an upcoming 12-page pictorial in April Men's Health in what is sure to be a landmark piece. You heard about it here, first!
The original Methode Naturelle was created in 1905 while Hebert was a French navy officer and was used to train thousands of French Marines; it was then taught at an institute of physical education, called the College d'athletes, in Reims, France prior to World War I. It is based on natural human movement capacities. Modern man, by the turn of the twentieth century, had already become disassociated with the physical body and 100 years later people think of working out as churning out miles on the StairMaster or treadmill or dumbbell movements in front of the mirror. Erwan, the direct inheritor of Hebert's method, intends to turn the fitness industry upside-down, returning to a more innocent time of moving the body as it was meant to be used. This includes:
- walking
- running
- jumping
- balancing
- moving on all fours
- climbing
- lifting and carrying (all sorts of objects)
- throwing and catching
- defending (including striking, wrestling and grappling)
- swimming
He's a most affable young man and passionate about his philosophy of exercise (note to the ladies, he asked that I mention he is single.) He's tall and lean with a wiry, muscular physique and he moves with the ease and grace of a panther or...a natural human. He brought a memory stick of images and gave me a full historical presentation on my laptop of Hebert and Methode Naturelle.
After we'd sat around jawing for a while, we decided to drive into town and get something to eat (well, we were actually thrown out by our hosts, but that's another story.) Erwan said he needed to move a bit and asked us to pick him up further down the road...and literally took off like a gazelle. Driving along the country road, I thought he must have taken a wrong turn because I didn't see him anywhere in sight. When finally, over the next rise, there he was, at full speed, with an effortlessness that could only be ascribed to a wild animal. I was all the more impressed since he was running barefoot...which brings me to the second interesting character I met over the weekend, who calls himself Barefoot Ted.
Ted is a leader of the barefoot running movement. On his website, he's documented some incredible barefoot feats. He has studied and trained with the Tarahumara Indians, who are considered the greatest distance runners on earth. Ted adopted their running style and goes either completely unshod or dons Vibram Five Fingers. He has also experimented with traditional native sandals and has run hundreds of miles in his home made huaraches. I've long been an advocate of barefoot training and I consider over-engineered running shoes as more of a detriment than aid. Ted is certainly in agreement. Thick cushioned running shoes create a neural amnesia wherein the brain loses track of the foot in space. Worse, cushioned running shoes encourage heel striking whereas the ancient way has always been running off the balls of the feet.
I've been an outspoken critic of so-called cardio exercise, and even wrote an inflammatory blog on the ten reasons I don't do "cardio". I do, however, enjoy using my body as it was meant to naturally be used, which includes running through forests and sprinting on beaches. I don't look upon these activities as "cardio" or "calorie-burning" (although they are both) I see them as skills. Moving your body along a winding forest path, jumping over roots and rocks; making steep climbs and descents, is what our bodies were designed to do. this is a far cry from running like a domesticated rodent inside a stuffy gym under the spell of iPod and mirror. Running barefoot through a natural landscape provides a genuine skill element. My friend, the yoga master Andrey Lappa, used to run barefoot though rough terrain in the night to develop his sensory perception to such a high point he could slip and slide through the woods as comfortably as a wild beast.
Running on the balls of the feet is exhilarating and far less stressful to the knees, hips and low back. I'm very impressed with Ted's accomplishments. I have been trail running in minimalist footwear for some time, but Ted and Erwan have beyond-inspired me. My girlfriend has been running barefoot for many years (or in Vibrams) and she runs like a deer. She effortlessly runs over some of the roughest terrains and has some of the finest developed feet, ankles and calves I've ever seen. After looking at some photos of Ted and Erwan running barefoot in the snow just a few miles out of downtown Los Angeles, I pulled out my dusty Vibrams and slid them on my feet. After a push-pull workout, with bonus Pistols, I started my barefoot run (in the middle of a rainstorm) at a slow and easy pace, so my feet would adapt. The rain-soaked muddy trail offered the perfect soft surface for my feet. After my run, I felt ecstatic. Interesting enough, barefoot running is so efficient--and thus less taxing--that despite not having run in a while, I felt great. I like this natural movement technique and will be including it as part of my kettlebell and body weight regimens.
I recommend anyone interested in this type of training to check out Ted and Erwan's sites and to view Erwan's video again and get a copy of April Men's Health. This type of training is so far removed from the pavements and typical indoor gym workouts as to be incomparable. Caveat: If you wish to throw off your shoes and get started, begin slowly, in order for the feet to adapt. As a matter of fact, it's not only your feet which need to adapt but your entire running form.
If you'd like to learn more about my natural body weight movement and conditioning system, I have several upcoming instructor training events and workshops.
In Strength & Health!

LAKELAND, FL (November 6, 2013) – The City of Lakeland will observe Veteran's Day with festivities beginning Friday, November 8th at 6 p.m. with a free movie, the Glenn Miller Story at Lake Mirror. The movie is part of the Pics on the Promenade series and the night will include a rededication of the Frances Langford Promenade. The promenade was originally dedicated in 1946 with Langford in attendance. Langford grew up in Lakeland and attended Lakeland High School before capturing the hearts of many entertaining the troops with Bob Hope during WWII. Langford actually plays a part in the Glenn Miller Story. The Frances Langford Promenade at Lake Mirror is located at 121 S. Lake Avenue, Lakeland, FL.
The celebration will continue on Saturday, November 9th at 10 a.m. with a ceremony honoring all those that have served in the armed forces. The annual Veterans Day Parade will immediately follow the honor ceremony. The parade begins at 11 a.m. from The Lakeland Center and will end in Munn Park. Munn Park will be the highlight of activity immediately following the parade with military displays, memorabilia, camaraderie and refreshments. Park events will conclude at 3 p.m.
Honor Flight Mission #15 launches from Lakeland Linder Airport on Tuesday, November 12th taking 80 WWII veterans and their guardians to Washington DC to visit the WWII Memorial. Join in the Welcome Home Celebration at 8:00 p.m. at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport Terminal that evening. Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. The organization transports US veteran heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.
The public is encouraged to attend all events celebrating the sacrifice and dedication of all veterans. Veterans groups wishing to participate in the parade are invited to contact Gary Clark at (863) 688-1725 or through email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please visit the Polk County Veteran's Council website at www.polkveteranscouncil.com for information regarding veteran affairs and www.picsonthepromenade.com for more information regarding the Pics on the Promenade movie series.

Samsung is churning out affordable Android smartphones at the moment. Recently we've seen the Samsung Galaxy Gio, Samsung Galaxy Mini and Samsung Galaxy Ace, and now along comes the Samsung Galaxy Fit.
There's not a lot to distinguish these mobile phones to be honest – the name often being the key differentiator. With the Samsung Galaxy Fit you might think Samsung has added some fitness-related goodness to the phone.
But no. There's not a pre-installed tracking app to take advantage of the GPS, not a calorie counter or weight tracker, nothing.
So is this a 'fit' handset in the looks department, then?
Well, er, no. It's a smallish smartphone, measuring 110.2mm x 61.2mm x 12.6mm and weighing 108.2g.
It has a rather nice ribbed backplate (although a little on the flimsy side), and also a microUSB port sitting at the top edge is protected by a sliding cover.
But apart from that, things are fairly bland. The all-round black chassis has some shiny metal-looking elements in the shape of a surround to the giant Home button beneath the screen and edging to the front fascia, but it's nothing to shout about.
There's a microSD card slot that is protected by a hinged cover on the left edge, and a volume rocker here too. The right edge houses the main on-off switch.
There's no shortcut button for the camera, but you can easily pop its application icon on the home screen if you want quick access.
On the front beneath the screen, the massive Home button looks like a D-pad but isn't. To its left is a Menu button, to its right a Back button. These are touch-sensitive, but rather annoyingly they aren't backlit, remaining a fairly dull grey at all times.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit does feel quite comfortable in the hand, though, so while there are no standout physical features, there's nothing disastrous either.
Specifications-wise, we're talking average. This is a smartphone handset that'll set you back around £100 on PAYG or £150 if you buy it SIM-free, and from that bit of information you'll glean the level of specs you can expect.
There's HSDPA, GPS and Wi-Fi, of course, and a 5MP camera. The screen measures a reasonable 3.3 inches but delivers only 240 x 320 pixels, and Samsung has opted for Android 2.2 instead of the current top spec 2.3.
So can it do enough to beat competitors such as Samsung's own cheap-as-chips Galaxy Europa i5500 or our favourite budget Android smartphone, the Orange San Francisco?

Celebrating 60 years of bulb growing
Did you know we've been a family business for 60 years this year ?NZ Bulbs is part of Aorangi Bulb Nurseries, started by Len and Margaret Hoek in 1957. Len emigrated from Holland in 1954 and it didn't take long for him to put down roots and call New Zealand home. Margaret is a kiwi girl born and bred in Palmerston North. Len and Margaret both still work every day in the nursery, great proof that gardening is a healthy lifestyle.
That's Len on the left in a field of tulips at the nursery about 50 years ago with my sister and myself. Margaret is a little camera shy. I'm showing off my curls a bit more while modelling my blue outfit in the daffodils below left... and my two sons, below, seemed just as keen to be among the flowers when they were young.We now grow more than 25 acres of bulbs through the year for both bulb and cut flower production, as well as having three quarters of an acre of greenhouse space.

CAMBRIDGE — Sometimes it's just a tiny detail that makes one's heart beat a little faster. In the first act of José Mateo Ballet Theatre's 25th annual production of "The Nutcracker" (at the Sanctuary Theatre in Cambridge through Sunday, and then at the Strand Theatre in Dorchester Dec. 22-24), Clara is bourréeing about the stage with the nutcracker her Godpapa Drosselmeyer has given her. One of the little boys who's come to her parents' party is running after her and trying to snatch it away, but whenever he gets too close, she gives a little tendu kick at him without missing a bourrée beat.
America is, as Jennifer Fisher's 2003 book has it, "Nutcracker Nation," and our productions of Tchaikovsky's holiday classic are, like America itself, a study in diversity. Local choreographer José Mateo's chamber version, with a reduced cast and taped music, has a pleasing innocence about it, and many admirable details. The panel that functions as a curtain uses vivid colors to depict old-fashioned objects like a pocket watch and books from the 19th century on a dark-green background with a paisley pattern. Drosselmeyer appears against a backdrop of clocks; the second act is played against a backdrop of Ionic Greek columns. In his "Waltz of the Flowers," Mateo dresses his dancers in shades of pink, yellow, and purple instead of having them all wear the same color. And in the opening act, at the Silberhaus party, the only woman who's not sporting pantalettes under her hoop skirt is the daring one in the bright red off-the-shoulder dress.
Mateo's appearance as Drosselmeyer has always been a highlight of his "Nutcracker." On Friday, however, the role was played by Matt White, who looked too young and, with not a hair out of place, seemed to be auditioning for a new Disney musical called "Drosselmeyer!" There are some other oddities in the production. Mark Kehlet Schou's Harlequin is dressed in a white shirt and black tie, as if he were a Pierrot. Ivaylo Alex-iev's Nutcracker Prince wears no nutcracker head and doesn't move mechanically, so he seems like a real person even before Clara kills the Mouse King (by bopping him on the head with one of the soldiers' rifles) and breaks the spell he's under. And when the second-act divertissements begin, Clara and the Nutcracker Prince run off and aren't seen again till the end, when Drosselmeyer appears out of nowhere and shepherds her off.
Most of all, I wish the dancing were more solid and more exciting. The ensemble Friday was better than last year, and there was less falling off pointe. But the technical level was modest, and in the finale, David Du-bois's Cavalier and Kristy Anne Reynolds's Sugar Plum Fairy exhibited little virtuosity. Dubois did execute a decent manège, and he ended his variation with some nice entrechats six and a double pirouette. Reynolds's excellence at split-kicking in the air was offset by fuzzy piqué turns and limp fouettés. In her celesta variation, she seemed at odds with the music, in choreography that was simpler than the Petipa/Ivanov original.
But Emma Ward, as both the Snow Queen and the lead dancer in Marzipan, commanded the stage, and she displayed a panache that made up for any technical shortcomings. Schou and Angie DeWolf gave real emotional heat to Arabian as he pursued her about the stage; Patricia Chiang and Jaclyn Sanford were playful and blissfully unstereotyped in Chinese; Doug Baum threw in some fine tours à la seconde in Russian. And the Clara I saw, Cecilia Zevallos, was both innocent and magical.Jeffrey Gantz can be reached at email@example.com.

World Bulletin/News Desk
South African Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius checked in as a day patient to Pretoria's Weskoppies psychiatric hospital on Monday for the first day of a month of mental tests ordered by the judge overseeing his murder trial.
The 27-year-old track star, who faces life in prison if convicted of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day last year, sped past a scrum of waiting television cameras in a car with tinted windows.
A heavy police contingent kept reporters from entering the grounds of the hospital, one of South Africa's foremost mental institutions.
Pistorius has denied murdering Steenkamp, saying he shot four times at a toilet door in his luxury Pretoria home to protect himself from what he thought was an intruder lurking behind it.
However, a defence forensic psychologist testified that Pistorius also had an anxiety disorder, leading judge Thokozile Masipa to send him for a mental evaluation to determine whether or not the condition affected his criminal responsibility.
The trial, which started in early March, has drawn huge domestic and international attention.
Before the shooting Pistorius, whose lower legs were amputated as a baby, was one of the biggest names in world athletics.
He won a clutch of Paralympic medals, running on carbon-fibre prosthetic 'blades', and reached the semi-finals of the 400m at the London Olympics in 2012.Last Mod: 26 Mayıs 2014, 13:28

Deskstation rPC44
The Deskstation Evolution Series rPC/44 is another ARC system. Based on the MIPS R4400 processor and ARC firmware it was targetting the Windows NT market.
The DeskStation system looks like many PC clones because it is based on an AT motherboard. The basic difference is the additional logic required for the R4400 bus to communicate with the EISA bus. The memory bus is only 32 bits wide, while the CPU itself has a 64-bit-wide path; therefore 512K of secondary cache is used to enhance performance.
Linux Support
For a short time rPC44 support was being worked on. It worked for one person. However, the perception was that it never reached any functional state. The rPC44 code has therefore been removed from Linux.

Pacific Hero
After the sneak attack of Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941, my father-in-law, Robert Tomasevich, (standing on left) joined the Unites States Coast Guard. For nearly six months he was stationed at the Nawiliwili Lighthouse on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Bob told me once, "I drove that jeep all over that island. It went everywhere! During wartime blackout conditions, the headlights were fitted with slotted covers to deflect their beams downward to the ground."
Bob later became a signalman for the USS Cavalier during the invasions and landings of Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, Leyte Gulf, Luzon, and Manila. Bob is lucky to have survived World War II. He is an eyewitness to some of its major battles in the South Pacific. He is a veteran of the Greatest Generation and today is living well in a small town in California.

OG Bob King
It would really mean a lot to my family and me if you would honor the memory of my grandfather, Bob King. We lost him a couple of years ago at the age of 93. He was a real honest to goodness war hero, winning a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and three Purple Hearts. He always told me that his Jeep saved his ass more times than he could count.
This picture was taken in Brittany, France in August, 1944. Captain Bob King was in the 6th Armored Division, 86th Mechanized Recon. He called his Jeep "Peep" because he used it to take a peep at the enemy. He could have used a halftrack, recon armored car, light tank or even a motorcycle, but usually he used his Jeep with a custom .30 caliber mounted to the cowl.

I found a photo of my dad in front of his (well, the Air Force's) Jeep when he was stationed in Korea in 1954. His other service included WWII as a B-17 ball turret gunner and in the '60s as a crew member of a U.S. Air Force Lockheed VC-140 JetStar; he shuttled officials in and out of Washington, D.C. from Bolling AFB and Andrews AFB as part the Presidential Unit there. He's close to 90 now and would get a kick out of seeing this in print.

Here's a tidbit to give you an idea of how old Ray Lewis is (for a player) and how young Jim Harbaugh is (for a coach): Lewis' first NFL sack came against Harbaugh in an October 13, 1996 game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens.
A user on Reddit dug up that fun fact this morning.
Lewis was just a 21-year-old rookie that year, and no one had any idea he'd turn into the player he is today. He barely played in that 1996 season, recording 2.5 sacks in four total games.
Harbaugh, on the other hand, was 33 years old and his skills were in decline. He would play four more years before going into coaching. Here's what he looked like in the early 90s:
We've been digging for video all morning, but we've come up with nothing. There's no photos either.
It's understandable, there's no way of knowing that a nobody rookie linebacker sacking an aging mediocre QB would have significance 16 years later.
Harbaugh today at age 49:

Talk by Roberta Wue, University of California, Irvine
Friday, April 11, 2014

In nineteenth-century Shanghai, fan painting came to epitomize the prosperous city's highly visual culture of commerce and display. Bird-and-flower subjects were a popular choice in fan format; one of the most prominent painters of the period, Ren Bonian (1840-1896), established his reputation with images of Shanghai flora and fauna in the form of both folding and screen fans. In his hands, bird-and-flower imagery took on especially urban overtones by representing the city via natural metaphors and also by using strategies that appealed to a Shanghai fascination with pleasure and play. Fashionable, decorative and much sought-after, Ren Bonian's bird-and-flower fan paintings were mobile and especially urban paintings, functioning as personal accessories, alluring paintings, and coveted commodities for a bourgeois and merchant audience.

Liberty News
Government students receive hands-on intelligence training in nation's capital
|Dr. Charles Murphy stands with Liberty students outside of the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., the site of an attempted assasination on President Ronald Reagan. This was one of the many places students visited in planning survelliance detection routes for the course.
Liberty University students from the Helms School of Government recently traveled to Washington, D.C., for a unique summer pilot course, Surveillance and Surveillance Detection, the first of its kind offered at any university.
The students spent 12 days (May 28-June 8) in the Washington, D.C., area learning the art of surveillance and surveillance detection from retired and former intelligence community personnel. This field practicum was the dream of Dr. Charles Murphy, government professor, who began Liberty's intelligence studies program alongside Liberty's founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., and provost, Dr. Ron Godwin.
"This was an idea I had discussed for a year-and-a-half with some intelligence professionals, all of whom agreed that it not only was feasible, but a needed introductory course for those going into this field," Murphy said.
Murphy, who has had a professional background in the U.S. Marine Corps and the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as being a pastor, said it is the desire of the Helms School of Government "to have the strongest intelligence studies program at the undergraduate level."
"We try to teach every course from the practical or 'tradecraft' perspective, meaning we try to teach the courses from the how-to-do-this perspective."
|Students gather around one of the intelligence professionals as he teaches them how to plan a surveillance detection route.
Helms School of Government deans and intelligence faculty, along with Murphy, selected 11 rising seniors from the school who had a 3.5 (or higher) GPA to be the first to take the course.
The teaching environment was unconventional, as the students learned from intelligence officers by walking, mapping, and understanding the streets of D.C. to conduct the assignments correctly. Several exercises were performed throughout the day, many independently. The students had two textbooks to read prior to beginning the class, a final exam, a term paper, and professional evaluation of their field activities.
The class was taught from such an applicable and practical way that another intelligence agency actually picked up on what the students were doing and started following them around to see their work, according to Murphy.
Student Mathew Stvan said it was one of the "top 10 experiences" in his life and that he is grateful for the opportunity.
"This course is a huge step for the Strategic Intelligence program. Not only because it had never been conducted before at any other university, but also because it expanded our program's ability to begin developing an operational mindset in those students who may end up working in the field as intelligence officers," Stvan said.
Murphy said he was impressed with the students' performance.
"The instructors and I were pleasantly surprised at the diligence, hard work, enthusiasm (and humor at their own mistakes), and professional quality of their class and field work," Murphy said. "In their afterhours, students led meetings and they worked through and corrected the mistakes they had made during the day."
Katelin Robinson, an intelligence major, said she would highly recommend the course.
"It is beneficial because it provides students an opportunity to experience a hands-on class to better prepare them for their potential career. It is a valuable academic option and offers a real-life experience in the nation's capital."
Dr. Murphy said he plans to follow the necessary steps to move the course from a pilot course to become a permanent course, and to offer it again next summer.

Pentazocine is a medicine used to treat moderate to severe pain. A pentazocine overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Alternative Names
Talwin; Alupent; Fortal; Pentafen; Fortulgesic; Litcon
Poisonous Ingredient
Where Found
- Algopent
- Fortral
- Fortulgesic
- Litcon
- Pentafen
- Talwin Nx
This list is not all-inclusive.
For most of these type poisonings, the patient will likely have signs of opiod intoxication. Symptoms may include:
- Bluish skin color (cyanosis)
- Breathing difficulty
- Constipation
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Rapid heart beat and blood pressure changes
- Pinpoint pupils
- Seizures
- Stomach cramps
- Vomiting
Some formulations may cause opiod withdrawal symptoms in patients that have used opiod pain medicines or street drugs for a long time. These symptoms may include:
- Anxiety and restlessness
- Diarrhea
- Goose bumps
- Rapid heart rate
- Vomiting
Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- The patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of product (as well as the ingredients and strength if known)
- The time it was swallowed
- The amount swallowed
- If the medication was prescribed for the patient
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Activated charcoal
- Fluids by
IV Gastric lavage
- Laxative
- Naloxone (Narcan), a medicine (antidote) to help reverse the effect of the poison — multiple doses may be needed
Expectations (prognosis)
Pentazocine overdose is usually much less serious than other opiod medication overdoses such as heroin and morphine. Rarely do antidotes such as Narcan need to be used. Although deaths have been reported, most people who receive immediate treatment should recover well.

Oscar Pareja's message to his team was clear this week: Score goals, or you'll find yourself on the bench.
Message received, coach.
In the Rapids' drama-filled 4-3 draw in Montreal on Saturday, Colorado scored a season-high four goals – they hadn't scored more than two in any game so far this year – while handing the Impact their first home loss of the season.
Forward Tony Cascio provided the dramatic late winner in the 95th minute on his deflected shot that skipped off two Impact defenders and past Troy Perkins to give the visitors all three points. Cascio, who has been banished to the end of the bench for the majority of the season, chose as good a time as any to score his first goal of the season.
"It felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders," Cascio told MLSsoccer.com by phone after Saturday's game. "I didn't expect that ball to come to my feet, but when it did, it kind of fell to my feet, took a touch, and just thought about shooting it and I did."
On Saturday, finally, the Rapids' goalscorers, such as Cascio, were, well, scoring goals. Attacking midfielder Dillon Powers scored Colorado's second of the night in the 59th minute on a no-look finish from the top of the box, substitute striker Deshorn Brown equalized again in the 77th minute and then Cascio capped off the heroics deep into second-half injury time.
OPTA Chalkboard: Chances galore as Impact, Rapids play out thriller
"I thought we had a little bit more calmness in front of the goal," Pareja said. "We didn't rush. We were not hectic to finish. Today, we had composure in the last third and that was magnificent for them."
Most importantly for the Rapids, the win gives Colorado, who carried a three-game losing streak into Stade Saputo, much-needed momentum heading into a three-game homestand starting this week.
"The commitment from the players today was incredible," Pareja said. "Hopefully this is the spark that we need to get this stretch done and get back home and get points. We can't wait to be back home."
Chris Bianchi covers the Colorado Rapids for MLSsoccer.com.

Twitter factor impacts modern Major Leaguers
PHOENIX -- Colorado Rockies pitcher Brett Anderson said he is not the most outgoing guy on the team.
"I wouldn't say I'm shy, I'm just reserved and laid back," he said.
PHOENIX -- Colorado Rockies pitcher Brett Anderson said he is not the most outgoing guy on the team.
"I wouldn't say I'm shy, I'm just reserved and laid back," he said.
But when it comes to Twitter, Anderson (@BAnderson_30) is not afraid to share his opinions on things like current events, NCAA brackets and music.
"I can express my opinion on Twitter, whether it be positive or negative, making fun of people or making fun of myself," Anderson said.
As an outlet for personal interaction, social media can also draw negative attention and cause controversy through unfiltered conversation. Anderson said it is hard to find the line between being opinionated and being offensive.
"I probably get closer to that line than most people, just because I share my opinions and I'm kind of a sarcastic [guy] sometimes," Anderson said.
Hey, Syracuse and Dayton this isn't golf...lowest score doesn't win.- Brett Anderson (@BAnderson_30) March 23, 2014
Jeremy Guthrie, pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, said Twitter is unique because of how many functions it serves. Guthrie (@TheRealJGuts) said he's had a lot of experience with the site, but the best part is still the easiest part.
"My favorite part is hitting the send button," Guthrie said. "It's exciting, it's exhilarating. Sometimes you're nervous and you're not sure how it's going to go over, but you take that plunge."
The social media experience is flexible to the will of the user, but it adds a new dimension to the world of professional baseball. Guthrie said the experiences of being a Major League Baseball player are entirely different thanks to Twitter.
"[Interaction] has increased exponentially by having a social-media account that one is active on and reads and responds," Guthrie said. "It's night and day, really, from what my experience would be like without it."
@TheRealJGuts What motivated you to become a baseball player?!?!- Billy Pinckney (@BillySelena) March 4, 2014
@BillySelena I was given the opportunity to play baseball and strive to make most of it each day. Was not my goal to play as a youngster.- Jeremy Guthrie (@TheRealJGuts) March 4, 2014
Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer (TheRealHos35) is also an active tweeter. He said the site makes Spring Training a more inclusive experience for the fans. He argued that before Twitter, Spring Training was relatively quiet and unknown to the public.
"Now you have guys taking pictures in the locker room or the type of workouts they do or even the type of hitting stuff they do," Hosmer said. "It's a change for the fans to see some behind-the-scenes kind of stuff."
Got to meet my fathers idol today!! pic.twitter.com/APizQmyCRj- Eric Hosmer (@TheRealHos35) March 22, 2014
Anderson said the connection to fans changes everything. He uses Twitter to get feedback from his fans and connect to his followers -- whether the information he is receiving is positive or negative.
"Whenever things are going good during the season, it's fun because you get nothing but praises and accolades," Anderson said. "But when you perform bad, you're going to hear it from whoever, like someone's second cousin, twice-removed.
"That's part of what you sign up for when you have a [Twitter] account."
Although negative messages and disagreements are part of the social media experience, Anderson said most people do not know about the degree of criticism he receives from strangers on Twitter.
"People say, 'You didn't perform well for my fantasy team!'" Anderson said. "Well, screw your fantasy team," Anderson said.
Anderson said he performs for the Rockies and the improvements he makes are for those supporters, not fantasy baseball users.
"People who cheer for the hometown team -- those are the people that you want to get better for and perform for, not some slappy sitting behind his computer trying to win fifteen-hundred dollars this week on fantasy baseball."

Is It More Effective to Change the System from Within or from Without?
When society tells you you're not fit to do something, whether it's true or not, you may start to believe it. Or, if you're like Faride Gheirat, you may fight against the prevailing stereotypes and start to believe in yourself.
"I have not become tired yet, despite a lot of time having gone by," says Gheirat. "I think there's still a lot of work left that I must do because of the interest that I have in society, in the progress of women, and their rights."
The 62-year-old lawyer holds a position that in Iran is largely still regarded as essentially masculine.
Only 500 women lawyers registered
In Iran, women have been serving in Parliament and are outnumbering men in universities, but they have not been flocking to the law profession.
"Now, after the Islamic Revolution, the number of women in Iran is greater than before, and there are only 500 women who are practicing law."
Women lawyers now constitute only around 12 percent of all lawyers in Iran. In many ways, the low number is a reflection of changes in Iran's laws.
"In general, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, a series of limitations were created, especially concerning barring women from being judges. This caused fewer women go to universities to study law," Behnaz Ashtari explains.
The Iranian lawyer says a recent study she conducted about Iranian women lawyers found several reasons for their low numbers. Before the Revolution, women educated in law found jobs as judges, consultants, lawyers and social workers.
After the Revolution, when women could no longer be judges, some women judges became lawyers, while others left the profession, and some young women who may have entered it, decided not to.
Stereotypes keep women from demanding equality
Since 1995 women have been allowed to be advisors to judges, but they are not permitted to hand down rulings.
Some women also shy away from the profession because of the duties they feel they have at home, as a mother and wife.
Ashtari says another main reason for the relatively low number of women lawyers is that many women allow certain stereotypes in Iran's society to deter them from the profession…
"Based on the clichés that exist in society, there's the belief that the law profession is for men, that it's not seen as very appropriate for women."
Without the confidence of society, many women have lost confidence in themselves: They don't think that they would be able to make good lawyers. Still, those women who succeed at legal practice in Iran are making their presence known. Some, like lawyer Shirin Ebadi, have gained recognition across the world.
Shirin Ebadi: "Being a woman doesn't change anything"
Ebadi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for her work defending human rights and the rights of women and children. But the former judge doesn't think that her achievements have anything to do with the fact that she's a woman.
"I don't believe in gender in the work of the lawyer's profession," Ebadi asserts. "I mean, I don't think that being a woman changes anything. As a woman in Iran I haven't had any problems, either while judging or in the legal field. My problems were problems that all my co-workers have… I mean inappropriate laws; I mean disrespect of the law. These are my problems."
Many observers see Ebadi as someone who insists on the compatibility of Islam and human rights, as someone who believes that legal reform, supported by an enlightened approach to Islam, can help solve Iran's problems.
"Democracy is incomplete"
"We see how much discrimination there is in our laws between men and women," Ebadi says. "On the subject of the family, women and men are not equal. The man can have four wives. Without an excuse, a man can divorce his wife. We also have discrimination based on religion. Freedom of expression is incomplete. Democracy is incomplete."
Supporters point to relative successes, they say the latter method has helped accomplish for women – in the areas of marriage, divorce, and inheritance. But critics of Ebadi's method say the whole legal superstructure should be recreated instead of "working within the system."
Other Iranian women who have succeeded at the profession are also helping to make an impression on their society. They've shown women can be strong and financially independent. And they've often earned reputations for being honest and empathetic.
Often women submit to negative stereotypes
They've gained the confidence of many men and women clients. 25-year-old Sulmaz says she prefers women lawyers to men in certain cases.
"In my opinion, a person has a much better relationship with a woman lawyer. She can open her heart up to her and speak to her more easily because she's a woman. She's much more comfortable with her than with a man."
Still, Sulmaz says, she would have more confidence in a man to represent her in cases that don't have to do with family issues.
"If it has to do with work or employment, for example, I prefer to be represented by a man. But in relation to the family or emotions, I prefer a woman lawyer."
It's views like this women lawyers like Gheirat, Ebadi, and Ashtari hope to alter. They want women to engage in jobs long forbidden to them, and to try to improve the condition of women as a whole by defending their rights.

While the US real estate market is still somewhat sluggish, things are picking up fast in Mexico.
With wage increases in China and Vietnam (as well as escalating shipping costs), outsourcing to the Far East isn't as economically feasible as it once was, a situation that is forcing many companies to look closer to home. At the same time, retirees looking to make the most of their savings are considering relocation south of the border.
Mexico rode out the worldwide economic downturn better than many other countries and its real estate market never suffered on a level seen in the U.S. And while there was certainly excess inventory, that's quickly being snatched up by bargain hunters.
"2012 is a turning point," says Gary Swedback, President of NAI Mexico. "I'm seeing new private equity funds in Mexico … And by the end of the year, we're expecting to see build-to-suits for companies that can't find a building. By the beginning of next year, we're going to be seeing speculative construction in some markets."
The hot markets vary depending on a company's need. Several industries seem to be grouping themselves in particular areas, while others want to stay close to the U.S. border to make transportation easier.
"There's no single answer about where to locate," says JC Goldenstein, CEO of CREOPoint.
That said, here are 10 areas worth considering.
