What Happened to All the Blogs I Was Following in Google Reader?
Yesterday and today that number dropped to the 60s.
Did I infect everyone with my cleaning frenzy so that you are all taking time off from blogging to clean house and organize your offices?
I didn't think so.
Not that I'm paranoid or anything. Well, yes, I am paranoid. And I hate change - there, I said it.
I hate Google Reader's new look and the nightmare that it has become to navigate. Those scroll bars? Much clunkier than the old arrows, and it seems almost impossible to navigate up and down my subscription list.
As I read my 63 unread items today, I checked to make sure that it wasn't just Blogger-platform blogs that are included. Wordpress and private sites are there. So which blogs aren't there? I can't figure it out.
Where is my tinfoil hat?
I miss my blogs!
Any suggestions on other readers?

Oops - I don't know whether to be even more paranoid or grateful - I returned to Google Reader and 62 new posts were there. It must be the mess boys....ReplyDelete
I'm glad you got your blogs back ;-)ReplyDelete
Agree wholeheartedly with you on the "new" look of Google Reader... I keep wanting to click in the lower left corner instead of upper right to get to the next blog. Aaargh.
I'm still reading from my dashboard, not google reader proper. Or sometimes from my iGoogle home page where I have a reader window.ReplyDelete
Yuck on the new changes. They're fine when I'm on my desktop, which has a large monitor, but on my netbook (which I use during the day in the kitchen while the kids are eating) the mandated "spaciousness" of the new design means that very little fits on the tiny screen. It's an un-improvement in my mind. I hate the new Gmail interface too... and this from an inveterate praiser of all things Google... =PReplyDelete
I will say that your talk of cleaning frenzy did inspire me to try and get more organized...both home-wise and genealogy-wise :)ReplyDelete
I also still read from my dashboard. I tried the reader but it seems not to be as easy as my dashboard.ReplyDelete
I did check for the "new" email and it would momentarily appear and then poof, it was gone.
It took me a long time to get the old style to reappear. I can not even remember how I did that trick.
I thought it was just me that didn't like the new Google Reader, but I asked my son and he doesn't like it either! It's harder to read, but I guess I'll just have to get used to it ..... or suffer Reader Withdrawel Syndrome!! :o)ReplyDelete
Hmm ... numbers are still down today. Not happy.ReplyDelete
Becky - It's even hard to see where the navigation bars are. Ick!ReplyDelete
Carol - I used to read from my dashboard all the time, but I found the reader faster. However, if it doesn't deliver all of the posts (and I don't think it is, yet) - what's the point?
Jennifer - I've avoided switching to the new Gmail interface; I imagine I'll hate it.
Dawn - Well, that's something good! Hope all is going well with that!
Claudia - There just seems to be so many garbage features that go with the changes, and the new look doesn't help me at all!
Lisa - Yeah, I can probably live with the stupid changes, it's just the dropping subscriptions that make me crazy.
You are not alone.... I am so upset. Reader is now virtually useless: I can't bear to even try to use it, I think I've got 300+ unread right now. I tried a question to Help, but that got nothing except a suggestion for a lengthy work-around. Why should I use a work around when I didn't change anything?! Thanks for the chance to vent.ReplyDelete
and I thought it was just me! Not fond of the new google changes. Yuck.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ReplyDelete
MHD - You gotta wonder: if they want people to use their products, why do they do stuff like this? I still don't have the number of unread posts that I used to - and I can't figure out which blogs are being left out.ReplyDelete
Joan - No, as you can see from the comments, there are at least a few of us - and I suspect there are more who are unhappy or at least wonder why someone considered this change an improvement.
Greta, I am having problems, too. In fact, this post of yours just came into my Google Reader today. That's quite a backlog.ReplyDelete
I hope they fix things soon, because I definitely don't like the delay!
Amy - This weekend, when I have been at home so that I can read my posts a couple of times a day - once in the morning and once in the evening - the numbers seem to get back to normal. It looks like Google Reader doesn't want to deal with much more than 100 unread posts. Hate this! Also accidentally got into the new Google Mail view (hitting unread posts on iGoogle) - icky - no exact count of number of messages, no dates.ReplyDelete

ST. CLAIR, MO. (KTVI) -The Superintendent of the St. Clair School district says his heart goes out to the families of 3 students who died by suicide during the past 7 weeks.
Dr. Michael Murphy calls it nearly impossible to fathom but it's happened at St. Clair High School.
A high school junior, sophomore and freshman took their own lives in three separate incidents.
The superintendent said out of respect to the victims he would not go into detail about their deaths. Dr. Murphy did say there was no common thread that connected the suicides together.
The district held an emergency meeting Tuesday night at the high school cafeteria but the turnout was so big that the meeting was moved into the gymnasium.
"There are individuals here who truly are needing to deal with crisis and then there are other individuals here who are truly reaching out to support a community in need," said Dr. Murphy.
Some parents say bullying is big problem for students at the high school.
2011 graduate Scott Layton hopes to help form a non-profit aimed at giving teens a chance to talk to other teens about the troubles.
"It would be like an A.A. for bullying," explained Layton.
There are many area resources for teens in trouble. One of them involved a hotline operated by trained teens.
KUTO stands for "Kids Under Twenty-One." During an interview with FOX 2 earlier this year, the agency's executive director explained how a hotline can make a difference.
"We find that many times all the caller really needs is to have someone validate their situation," said Elzabeth Makulec. She said callers often look to be acknowledged, "That they're in a tough place and someone is willing to hear their dark story and not be judged."
Here are resources the district shared with parents and students.

Perched high on a knoll, this spectacular residence built in 2016 has a mini back story: the foundation is from a previous house on the property. With that exception and some exquisitely reclaimed materials — more about those in a moment — everything else is brand new and, everything is positively stunning.
ADDRESS: 1 Cliff Road, Swampscott
BATHROOMS: 3 full; 1 half
LIVING SPACE: 4,602 sq. ft.
Perched high on a knoll, this spectacular residence built in 2016 has a mini back story: the foundation is from a previous house on the property. With that exception and some exquisitely reclaimed materials — more about those in a moment — everything else is brand new and, everything is positively stunning.
Although words like "amazing" and "gorgeous" are the norm in this masterfully crafted home, its real beauty is that function is so seamlessly integrated within the design plan it feels intuitive. The elevator in this multi-level home is an example, as it goes from the ground floor to the upper level creating long-term accessibility not to mention convenience.
Another impressive fact is that absolutely no detail (regardless of how small) was overlooked.
Let's talk kitchen…
Antique limestone floor tiles (sourced from the Languedoc region in France) with radiant heat are right at home in this huge 21st Century chef's kitchen with all the bells and whistles including a Wolf, 5-burner gas stove with two ovens and a grill topped by a custom hood and a Sub Zero wine cooler. Custom hand-painted cabinetry — used also on panels for the refrigerator and dishwasher — complements the White Rhino marble countertops and back splash. An extra-long island with storage, a microwave "drawer" and a farmer's sink seats three.
Charm and function live together beautifully in the adjacent butler's pantry with glass-front cabinetry. Concave crown molding and an arched entry are another dash of pizzazz.
A large dining area (fully open to the kitchen) has a broad five-window bay that overlooks the two-level white brick patio and flows into a gracious living room with two sets of French doors — each has four large panes of glass — that open to the patio. The fireplace is an elegant indoor feature.
The den/library, however, is outstanding. Here, the gas fireplace with an antique French mantel with extravagant carvings, the vaulted ceiling — easily 16-feet high — is another and the two sets of extra tall doors command attention. By the way, the "standard" ceiling throughout this home is 10-to-11-feet high and the flooring is antique French reclaimed oak (tongue-and-groove).
Four sets of built-in seven-shelf bookcases handle decorative displays while the flannel wallpaper enhances the inviting ambiance. Plantation shutters on the back windows — Marvin wood windows throughout the house, too — add visual interest.
Win-win is the norm
The first-floor master suite — another one is on the second floor — reflects that statement. The coffered barrel ceiling (with uplighting) in the sleeping chamber is impressive as is a roomy bump out (with the same ceiling) that also has French doors to a "front" patio. Ideal as an office this is great private sitting room, too.
The walk-in closet/dressing room is customized for maximum ease and efficiency. The top of the two level hanging system has a pull-down handle, for example, plus open shelving, shoe racks, cubbies and a built-in seven-drawer bureau.
Under-lighting for the floating, custom-crafted black walnut vanity in the en suite bathroom is eye-catching (yet practical — cleaning is easy) but the walk-in shower with a linear drain that matches mini floor tiles is a scene stealer. OK, so is the black marble tile in the shower surround that complements the gray travertine stone floor with radiant heat. Tooled leather wallpaper is another beautiful feature.
A full size washer and dryer fit easily in a nearby laundry room with a sink, ample cabinetry and a window (with a view). As for the mudroom — besides its radiant heated floor, this area has floor-to-ceiling storage options: cabinets and closets.
A powder room -- with a great vessel sink — is also on the first floor.
Second floor: better and better
Beauty and elegance continue in the second floor master suite. The sleeping chamber has wonderful "outside" views of the ocean and surrounding trees as well as "indoor" ones like the gas fireplace flanked by cozy window nooks. Incidentally as this is at one end of the floor and around the corner, privacy is guaranteed.
The walk-in closet/dressing room is filled with custom built-ins that include floor-to-ceiling cabinets (with mirrors), built-in drawers and a bench (with drawers underneath). A pocket door is a space saver.
Unforgettable is the essence of the en suite spa-like bathroom with radiant heated marble floors, a freestanding soaking tub with a hand-held spray and a step-in shower in a frameless glass enclosure with a surround of extra-long subway tile. A ceiling mounted shower head is a luxurious touch; hand-painted decorative panels on the long vanity are beautiful ones.
Two very nicely sized bedrooms with good closet space (of course) at the other end of this level share a full bathroom that has a tub/shower combination with glass sliders. A pedestal sink and an arched window add character but the barrel ceiling is the definite show-stopper.
About the lower level…
As well-planned and as beautifully crafted as the rest of the house, this level is filled with practical features that include a gigantic walk-in cedar closet with open shelving and hanging spaces. A wall of closets — large and outfitted with open shelving, cubbies, etc., — are in another "wing" on this level.
In addition to dedicated gym/exercise space, this level also has access to the heated garage.

Pumped up about ATPases
Kazuhiro Abe, a postdoctoral researcher at Kyoto University, won a Journal of Biological Chemistry/Herb Tabor Award for his studies of the molecular mechanisms of a P-type ATPase.
A native of Sapporo, Japan, Abe earned his Ph.D. at Hokkaido University under Kazuya Taniguchi. There, using classical kinetics and single-molecule fluorescence measurements, his thesis was on the mechanism of gastric H+/K+-ATPase. He subsequently moved to Kyoto University to work under Yoshinori Fujiyoshi and do structural work on H+/K+-ATPase.
"Gastric H+/K+-ATPase has the remarkable task of pumping protons," Abe says. "But there are many remaining questions, and I do hope to be able to answer them in the near future -- from the structural and functional point of view."
Clever cytokine work
Niamh Mangan and Solenne Vigne were named winners of Tabor awards at a joint meeting of two organizations dedicated to cytokine and interferon research.
Mangan, a postdoctoral fellow at Monash University in Australia, was recognized for her work on the role of interferon cytokine and receptor signaling in immune regulation in infection and inflammation – and, more specifically, the characterization of the cytokine interferon epsilon, which may be important for infections in the female reproductive tract.
Mangan earned her Ph.D. in 2005 at Trinity College Dublin, where she studied the cellular mechanisms of modulation and suppression of the immune response using mouse models, and she completed a postdoctoral stint at Trinity College before being recruited to work in Australia with Paul Hertzog at the Monash Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne.
Solenne Vigne, a postdoc at the University of Geneva, was recognized for her work showing that IL-36 cytokines exert stimulatory effects on dendritic cells and T helper cells, leading to a predominant type 1 helper response in vitro and in vivo.
"These results demonstrate for the first time a critical role for these cytokines in the stimulation of innate and adaptive immune responses," Vigne says. "Therefore, our findings indicate that these cytokines may represent potential targets for immune-mediated inflammatory conditions."
On top while Down Under
Stephan Reitinger, a researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Aging Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, was named a Tabor award winner for his structural studies that identified a hyaluronan unbinding domain that governs the enzymatic activity of hyaluronidases.
Reitinger, who collaborated with researchers from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the University College Dublin, Ireland, is interested in how the activation of hyaluronidases is controlled by a bulky surface loop near the active site. His hyaluronan metabolism work is supported by a Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant from the European Commission.
Reitinger completed both his undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Salzburg, Austria, and a postdoctoral stint at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
A nice mix of experiences
Lydia Chávez-Vargas, a graduate student at Mexico's Center for Research and Advanced Studies at the National Polytechnic Institute, won her Tabor award for her studies of the molecular intricacies of endothelial-cell migration in response to angiogenic signals acting on chemotactic G-protein-coupled receptors
Chávez-Vargas, a native of Morelia, Mexico, studied biochemical engineering as an undergraduate and worked for a pharmaceutical company after graduation before continuing her studies at CINVESTAV under the mentorship of José Vázquez-Prado.
Her overall project will contribute to (a) our understanding of signaling pathways' roles in activating Rho GTPases in tumor-induced angiogenesis and (b) the identification of novel antiangiogenic targets.
Wound-healing studies recognized
Ulrich auf dem Keller, a senior research assistant and junior group leader at ETH Zurich, won his Tabor award for his studies of proteolytic events in the skin.
Auf dem Keller, a native of Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, completed his undergraduate studies at the Universities of Tübingen and Munich and his graduate studies at ETH Zurich, where he worked under Sabine Werner and focused on cytoprotection of keratinocytes in the skin. He later completed a postdoctoral stint with Chris Overall at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and then returned to the ETH Zurich unit led by Werner.
Auf dem Keller was recognized for identifying, along with Paul Hartmann AG, proteolytic signatures in the acute wound-healing process.
"In future work, those signatures will be compared to signatures from impaired skin repair, such as in diabetes," auf dem Keller says. "The final goal is to apply this knowledge in the clinics for assessing if a wound might turn bad and for defining the appropriate strategy for therapeutic intervention."

Two of them were born in Dover Castle.
The started out in Cornwall, ended up in Woolwich, but one family went to Portsea.
Does this ring any bells please?
Sarah Lindsay
I have never been able to find any thing about my Sarah Lindsay.
She was from Ireland,born abt 1835, probably Down and married William McTear.

Soldier gets a helping handBy Sgt. Bill Addison, 444th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
Sgt. 1st Class Jorge Vazquez, left, and Sgt. Michael Suplee inspect the engine of Suplee's 1993 Ford Thunderbird. Vazquez successfully nominated Suplee to the Advanced Auto Parts Makeover Contest for more than $3,000 worth of repairs on his vehicle, which now allows him to safely travel back and forth to work. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Robert Neill, Joint Forces Headquarters-New Jersey Public Affairs)
It's been a rough few years for Sgt. Michael Suplee, a network support technician at Joint Force Headquarters.
A cancer survivor with mounting medical bills, Suplee has been struggling to support his family- a wife suffering from Lupus and a young daughter.
His main vehicle, a 1993 Ford Thunderbird, had fallen into such disrepair it was no longer safe to drive between his hometown of Maple Shade and Fort Dix. Suplee was praying for a miracle.
Little did he know, just down the hall Sgt. First Class Jorge Vazquez, information technology specialist for JFHQ was working to make those prayers come true. Vazquez had seen the condition of Suplee's vehicle a few weeks prior, and was concerned for his safety.
"I remember walking into the office and saying I think somebody abandoned a car in the back," he said.
It was Suplee's first week working in the shop, and he and Vazquez talked about the car, and quickly bonded over Suplee's story. Vazquez felt a connection with the younger troop and wanted to help.
"I was feeling his pain, I went through that. My first wife passed away in 2008 from cancer," he said.
Recently remarried, Vazquez and his wife Maria wrote into the Advanced Auto Parts Makeover Contest on behalf of Suplee.
Vazquez, a Browns Mills resident, used his prior experience as a mechanic to detail everything the Thunderbird required in the essay, as well as outlining Suplee's struggles over the past few years. In all, he estimated Suplee's vehicle needed approximately $3000 in repairs.
It wasn't long after that Suplee was notified he was one of the 10 winners of the contest. According to a release from Advanced Auto Parts, the company recognized Suplee as a dedicated husband, father, veteran and cancer survivor whose family car was badly in need of service to return it to safe driving conditions.
"We are so happy to be able to recognize Michael and his family and we hope that this car makeover helps ease the burden and improves their daily lives," said Morgan Schafer, Regional Vice-President for Advanced Auto Parts.
Advance Auto Parts commercial accounts manager Kevin McClain then made arrangements for the work.
Now repaired, Suplee said the car runs better than it ever has, and he's certain the owner of the repair shop Jim Loringers put in more than the $3000 worth of work allocated for the winner.
"He must have put about $4,000 to $5,000 worth of repairs into it," he said. "I was extremely ecstatic. I had no idea how we were going to get that car fixed."
And while Suplee is thankful to the men and women of Advanced Auto Parts as well as Loringers for the work he put into his car, he is exceptionally grateful to the man who made it all happen.
"I would definitely say Sergeant Vazquez is a special guy. I would also say that being in the Guard plays a lot into it as well," he said. "We learn leadership traits and to look after each other like brothers and sisters in uniform."
And the Vazquez family wasn't quite finished in their efforts to help Suplee and his family. In December, Suplee was notified that his family would be the beneficiary of the proceeds from 2011's Nutter Run. Once again it was Vazquez and his wife who nominated him.
"I've been praying and it seems like doors are opening up," said Suplee. "This was a complete shock to me and it's a great honor to be associated with the Nutter Run."
"I can only imagine the stress he's under, with bills, and keeping food on the table and his wife's medical problems," said Vazquez. "It feels good to help. That's what we're here for- to take care of each other."

Al Harris to get Super Bowl ring – nice

I'm glad. Al is a class act on and off the field. And he left the Packers gracefully, even though I'm sure it wasn't his first choice. While he didn't play in any game this season he was still a member of the team while on the PUP list and I think this is very deserving.
Kudos the Packers organization for a very classy move.

So proud of Al and all he has done for Green Bay and Wisconsin. He totally deserves this ring and to be part of Packer Nation for life. Class act!

This is a bad gesture. If Al Harris deserves a Super Bowl ring then so does Brett Favre. It's odd to me that people don't see how the defense improved with him off the team. Al Harris was bad for the image of the Green Bay Packers. He should rather be on the cover of High Times.


text: The Kahne Lab is interested in understanding the biogenesis of the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria, in particular peptidoglycan biosynthesis and outer membrane assembly. The assembly of this organellar membrane must be accomplished outside the cell in the absence of an obvious energy source. My research focuses on identifying and understanding the machinery necessary for proper assembly of this membrane barrier, as well as the mechanisms that lead to defects. Because the outer membrane creates an effective permeability barrier to most antibiotics, understanding how to interfere with its assembly could provide new targets for antibiotic discovery.

What I Learned Wednesday 20 July 2011
I learned a lot.
I brought my Flip-Pal scanner and wand scanner with me and scanned some long-coveted family photographs and two files' worth of documents.
I learned how to use the Flip-Pal scanner - perhaps not with a great deal of ingenuity or skill, but I did finally take it out of its box and do several dozen scans with it. The greater part of these scans were duds, not the fault of the scanner, but I was testing its limits. I learned that you can make a scan through glass, but the scanner has to be sitting flat on the glass. It cannot be above the glass or angled down onto the glass. However, my father-in-law kindly removed the glass from the set of photographs that I coveted most of all, and I learned that no glass is best of all. I will be pulling up some of the tutorial videos for the Flip-Pal on YouTube to learn more.
The wand scanner once again proved its worth. I learned that it's a good idea to backup scans with transcriptions when working from an original with bumps/discontinuities in the paper or with poor contrast.
I learned that you may have to settle for not knowing who is in those coveted photographs. One of the photographs may be of one my my husband's great-great-grandfathers - either Julius Koehl or John Fichtelmann - but we don't know, because anyone who might have known is no longer alive. Not that I won't be trying in the coming weeks to get some ideas on this.
I learned that photographs are a great way to inspire relatives to share their memories. I put together a binder with copies of documents (probate records, ship manifests, descendant reports, etc.) for my relatives, but I knew this would be kind of dry, so I added a couple of maps of home cities back in Germany and Italy and the photograph I posted of my mother-in-law's grandparents' home in Newark ("Always Go Back and Reread Your Notes"). The reaction inspired by the photograph was amazing. My mother-in-law showed me where her room was, where she played with her childhood friend (and what games they played), and also recalled a couple of priceless stories about her grandfather.
I learned that in addition to providing new items of information, an important function of documents is to confirm or refute old information; I was particularly delighted with seeing the names of baptismal sponsors, whom I recognized as siblings and grandparents. The "smaller" details are as important as the names and dates: home addresses and church names will help tell me where to look.
Not bad for a couple of days.

Wow, Greta, you learned a lot in one day. I have found the FlipPal to be a great travel tool, but I use my digital camera a lot for documents and framed photos. I like the full image photo because it's easy to enlarge on screen for transcribing.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your work. I'm looking forward to your next discovery.
Greta, I loved how you began your post, you had me from the first three sentences. I'm glad you came away with photos and information. I bet it was double the fun for that trip.ReplyDelete
I bought a flip pal scanner, took it on my research trip, scanned something, and haven't touched it since. Thank you for the reminder to get it out and learn how to use it!ReplyDelete
Denise - I wanted to use my camera on some of the framed photographs (though not the composite one with lots of little ones - that has been the "biggie" for me), but due to the heat all of the lights were turned down low and I didn't think it would work out well.ReplyDelete
Barbara - I love the prospect that many of the trips we take and the places we go present opportunities for research - makes life interesting, doesn't it?
Debi - Now that I've gotten over the "how do I figure this thing out?" stage, I am excited about really putting the Flip-Pal through its paces. Next project - scanning photos in my Mom's old photo albums.
I love my FlipPal. If I'm traveling to see family and I suspect they might be willing to let me look through their pictures and/or documents, I take it with me. My grandmother was fascinated with it when I took it to her house.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to taking it with me when I visit my great grandmother. She has tons of pictures and, despite being nearly 100, can identify every person in the picture as well as their relationship to the family.
I love my FLip-Pal also, but have not been lucky with framed photos. There's a framed news clipping I want, but it's a good 1/4" - 1/2" beneath the glass, so I just can't get a good scan of it.ReplyDelete
Maybe I'll try a digital photo instead.
Great post!
I'm inspired by your blog to make a trip like this, myself. he truth is, I don't have many relatives left, definitely not many that I've met. There's no reason not to re-connect since I now live about four hours away. Most of my life it was a few thousand miles. Will check out a flip scanner, too. I look forward to reading more of your blogs.ReplyDelete
Dee - Yes, the great thing about the Flip-Pal is that it is so small that it is easy to carry along in case we get a chance to scan family pictures. And you are so lucky to have a relative who recognizes the people in the pictures - what a treasure she is!ReplyDelete
Susan - The results were definitely better when the glass was off of the picture, but you are right - when the Flip-Pal is above the image, it really does not work. I will probably use my camera next time we visit to copy a few of the other framed photos.
Victoria - Good luck with your trip - I hope you write about it. I think a lot of people really enjoy going through photos and showing them. The next thing I'm going to use it for are my mother's old photo albums. It isn't really an option for me to remove photos that are pasted in, so the Flip-Pal is the way to go.
Sounds like you accomplished a lot!ReplyDelete

Warriors' Curry has shot built to last
It was payoff time for a proud pop.
Dell Curry is the TV color analyst for the Charlotte Bobcats. On Feb. 27, the Bobcats flew from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. Curry checked into his hotel room and flipped on the TV to the ESPN NBA game, Warriors against Knicks at Madison Square Garden - which was about to become Studio 54.
The second quarter was starting. Dell's son Stephen had scored four points in the first quarter, on 2-for-6 shooting. Dad sat down to watch.
Dell Curry was a great NBA shooter. Late in his career when he gave shooting clinics, he brought along his two sons, Stephen and Seth, who loved hoops and didn't mind sitting through Dad's lectures.
On the family driveway, Dell worked with the boys, but casually.
"When they shot here at the house," Curry says, "I made sure they did things the right way. But I didn't go out and say, 'All right, it's time for your 30-minute shooting instruction,' nothing like that. I always watched 'em, made sure they were doing it the right way. Taught 'em, really, without them knowing it, through my clinics."
Curry, in a phone interview Wednesday, recalled the summer that Stephen almost quit the sport. Now he's a fourth-year NBA guard whose game has advanced a significant notch this season.
Stephen missed being selected for the All-Star Game, but his high-visibility 54-point game against the Knicks did two things. It introduced Curry to casual NBA fans, and, among the league's more hard-core hard core, it elevated the appreciation and respect for his game.
Jerry West, a Warriors special adviser, bristles when he talks of the All-Star snub.
"He should have been on the All-Star team, period. OK?" West says. "A lot of coaches who didn't vote for him should maybe look in a mirror. He was worthy, he was worthy."
Some people - I'm one of them - are starting to throw Curry into the discussion of the game's best pure shooters, now and all-time. I pulled Warriors' backup point guard Jarrett Jack into the discussion Tuesday, because Jack is a student of the game.
"I don't know where to put Steph, all-time," Jack said, "but he's definitely the best-shooting point guard in the league right now. By far. Not even close. Not even close. It's like there's him, and then there's a blank space, and then there's somebody else. I just think that's how far ahead of everybody else he is."
What does Jack like about Curry's shooting?
"Everything. Form, distance, the (variety of) ways he makes his shots - off the dribble, catch-and-shoot. A lot of the time he just really leaves me shaking my head. ... There are (three-point) specialists, but he's definitely the best player and shooter I've ever played with. ... This kid is unbelievable. And the percentage he's hitting from three-point range is ridiculous. Eleven of 13 in New York? Come on, man, that's crazy.
"The thing is, it's even harder when you're the focal point. It's not like he's just a guy, 'Oh, he caught us by surprise.' No, the scouting report that night (against the Knicks), especially with David (Lee) being out, and Steph being obviously our go-to guy, probably was all about him. Their whole defensive premise was about him. To be able to do what he did, that's ridiculous."
Jack always makes a point to shoot with Curry.
"You like to look at his mechanics," Jack says. "And I pick his brain. But it can be discouraging, like when he makes 29 (three-pointers) in a row."
Curry has a distinct skill/personality set. To find someone with a similar blend of plus-plus hoop attributes, you'd have to go all the way to the Warriors' executive offices, to Mr. West.
Not surprisingly, Jerry West is a big Curry guy. West praises Curry's passion for the game, his quiet confidence, his old-school modesty, his growing shot repertoire, his expanding ability to size up situations and match-ups, his free-throw shooting, his quick release, and "his range is right up there with the best we've ever seen."
West had a trick. Shooting off the dribble, he would pound his last dribble extra hard, creating speed and momentum to carry up into his shot. He says Curry does the same thing.
"You can see him take that last quick dribble," West says, "and the subtle changes of directions he has - side-to-side, clever little dribbles, he'll kind of freeze the defender, and all you need when you shoot the ball quickly, particularly when you have the confidence he has, all you need is just a little room. He's learned how to create that extra little space he needs so he doesn't get bothered as much on his shooting."
And as for shooting ...
"For pure form," West says, "I don't know many guys I would pick over him, I really don't."
West believes that last season's big trade, Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut, has benefited Curry.
"There's obviously been some expansion of (Curry's) game," West says. "I like Monta Ellis a lot, because he competes so hard, but I wonder if - and again, I don't know this - if it hasn't helped Steph grow a little bit as a player. ... It has probably allowed him to flourish a little bit more."
Since shooting guard Klay Thompson doesn't attack the paint the way Ellis did, Curry has expanded his own driving game.
Also, Curry handles the ball more now, and Thompson has helped ease some of Curry's defensive duties.
Also, West feels that Bogut's assimilation into the lineup will be hugely beneficial to Curry's (and every other Warrior's) game.
As a kid, Stephen was small and slight, and his "jumper" was a heave that started super-low, below the belt.
"Between his sophomore and junior year" of high school, Dell Curry says, "I told him, 'If you want to play at the next level, college, you're going to have to move your shot above your head, or else you're going to get it blocked every time.'
"So we just took that summer and changed his shot. It was pretty frustrating for him, he almost quit playing that summer, but he stuck with it and got to where we all wanted it to be."
Stephen was a practice junkie, loved-loved-loved to shoot.
"He used to get mad on days he couldn't go to practice with me," Dell says, "and it wasn't because he wanted to go hang out with the NBA guys. He wanted to go to the gym to work on his game."
Stephen's little brother, Seth, is a senior at Duke, averaging 17.0 points and shooting 44 percent from three-point range. Dell says Stephen rates an edge over Seth because Stephen is doing his shooting in the NBA, but "I think they're even right now, as far as putting it in the hole."
I asked Dell Curry to name some of his all-time favorite shooters. He mentioned Ray Allen ("because of how quickly he prepares himself and squares and sets up, and he's got a quick release") and Dale Ellis ("who was kind of like me - run off screens, catch-and-shoot guy; very, very consistent").
As for his older son?
"The way he handles the basketball, and the way he shoots off the dribble, is second to none in the league," Curry says, adding, "I can't remember a guy in the league that shot it that well. ... He can create his own shot, he's got unlimited range. And the way he passes the ball ... if he's in the pick-and-roll area, you gotta pick your poison."
Nobody should be less surprised than Dell Curry when Stephen Curry lights up an arena, but Dad was blown away watching that game in his Salt Lake City hotel room.
"Oh, man, I tell you what," Dell Curry says, "the people in the rooms on either side of me, I'm sure they were wondering what was going on in my room. I'm usually not an emotional guy, but I'm glad I was by myself. I was able to kind of let it loose. It was unbelievable. He'd shoot a shot and I'd go, 'No way,' and it'd go in. It was a great emotional time."
Mechanics get Swish of approval
I happen to be a disciple of Northern California shot coach Tom Nordland and his "Swish" method, which is mechanical and aesthetic purity. Nordland and Stephen Curry have never connected, but Nordland says Curry's shot is a classic demonstration of the Swish method. Here's Nordland describing Curry's jump shot:
"Open stance (right leg closer to basket), legs straight to start, ball in front of stomach, ball/hand/eye/target aligned. Legs initiate action, then dipping arms and setting ball link arms to leg energy. Inertia is created by ball moving in-line, shot is one-piece, no pause, quick, with wrist and hand relaxed. Hand bounces, follow-through held. Swish!"

Transparency Market Research includes new market research report "Pediatric Drugs Market" to its huge collection of research reports.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2014 -- Pediatric drugs are a special class of drugs which are prescribed to children and infants for different diseases. These drugs are recommended in various conditions such as asthma, anorexia, birth defects, cancer in children, growth deficiencies, juvenile diabetes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and others. Various acts have been passed to control pediatric drugs such as Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) and the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA). These acts have been introduced to increase the investments on R&D for pediatric drugs and to increase the drugs count prescribed for children and infants.
Browse Full Report with TOC: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/pediatric-drugs-market.html
Pediatric drugs are categorized in three segments namely pediatric clinical pharmacology, pediatric pharmacotherapy and pediatric pharmacy. Pediatric pharmacotherapy focuses on those drugs which will behave differently in children and adults. Pediatric clinical pharmacology includes those drugs which are helpful for mental and physical growth. Pediatric pharmacy includes all those drugs which are specifically meant for children. To treat various disease conditions different drugs are prescribed such as acetaminophen, fentanyl, ibuprofen, naloxone and methadone are given as analgesics. In addition, cefazolin, ampicillin and meropenem are prescribed to treat microbial infections whereas clonidine and etomidate are recommended for sedative effect. Various other drugs are tramadole, oxycodone, codeine, lorazepam and gabapentin.
Growing concerns globally, amongst parents has assisted the growth of this segment.

MORAGA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University baseball team opened West Coast Conference play with an 12-8 win over Saint Mary's College Friday afternoon at Louis Guisto Field in Moraga, Calif. The win improved the Broncos record to 9-15 overall and 1-0 in WCC play while dropping the Gaels to 8-12 overall and 0-1 in league play.
Saint Mary's got on the board in the first inning as Gilbert Gil led off with a single up the middle and moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt by Jeff Cunningham. Gil moved to third base on a flyout to center field by Bryan Byrne and scored one batter later when Tim Spooner sent a ground ball through the left side for a 1-0 lead.
Santa Clara answered back in the top of the second inning as Will Thompson led off the inning with a solo home run over the right center field fence. Jack Headley followed that with a single to right field and moved into scoring position when he stole second. He gave the Broncos a 2-1 lead when he scored from second base on a Michael Thompson single to left field.
Will Thompson continued his torrid hitting for the Broncos as he connected on his sixth home run of the season and second in the game, this time a two-run shot over the center field fence, giving SCU a 4-1 lead. The two home run game on Friday was the second of the year for Thompson who also knocked two out at Buck Shaw Stadium against San Jose State last Saturday.
The Gaels cut into the Bronco lead with two runs on two hits in the bottom of the fourth inning. Mike Sansoe reached when he was hit by a Joe Diefenderfer pitch and moved to second base on a single by Cunningham. Sansoe scored on a Byrne RBI single to center field, which also moved Cunningham to third base. Cunningham scored an unearned run on the very next play when Spooner gounded to third base but an errant throw by Michael Thompson allowed him to reach and the run to score and narrowed the SCU lead down to 4-3.
Santa Clara added to its lead in the top of the sixth inning, scoring three runs on only two hits. Michael Lange reached base on a one-out walk and scored after back-to-back doubles by Scott Dierks and A.J. LaBarbera. Both Dierks and LaBarbera scored on the next play to give the Broncos a 7-3 lead after Jason Matteucci reached base on an error by Spooner who failed to field the hot shot to second base.
Four more runs on five hits in the top of the seventh inning gave SCU a 10-3 lead heading into the seventh inning stretch. Jim Wallace led of the inning with his third home run of the season and was followed by three consecutive singles by Michael Thompson, Lange and Dierks. LaBarbera picked up his second RBI of the game with a bases loaded walk, pushing home Thompson, but was forced out at second on the next play as Matteucci grounded into a double play. The double play did score a run though as Lange scored the team's ninth run. Scott Shapiro picked up his second hit of the game and his first RBI with a double down the right field line scoring Dierks for the second time in the game.
Saint Mary's scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to cut the Bronco lead down to 11-8. The Gaels did connect on five hits in the inning but two Bronco errors proved costly as all five runs in the inning were unearned. James Gaulke and Nick Conte led off the inning with back-to-back singles but Delaney Gallagher reached on a fielder's choice that saw Michael Thompson boot the ball at third base, allowing Gaulke to move to third. Another fielder's choice allowed Gaulke to score but it was a two-run single by Cunningham that was a big blow in the inning.
Patrick Overholt came on in relief in the eighth inning and promptly recorded three outs on two popouts and one strikeout in his first inning of work. Overholt continued his dominance in the ninth inning getting the final three outs, two of which were on strikeouts, for his fourth save of the season. Diefenderfer moved to 3-3 on the season after allowing only two earned runs while scattering 11 hits with one walk and five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings of work on the hill.
Offensively Dierks finished the game for SCU by going 5-for-6 with a double and two runs scored while Will Thompson went 3-for-6 with two home runs, two runs scored and three RBI. The 20 hits as a team were a season-high for the Broncos.
The two teams are scheduled to play games two and three of the league-opening series at 1 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday at Louis Guisto Field.

ST. LOUIS—Slava Voynov scored on an odd-man rush at 12 minutes of overtime and the Los Angeles Kings beat the St. Louis Blues for the third straight time, 3-2 Wednesday night.
The win put the defending Stanley Cup champions on the verge of surviving the first round, leading 3-2 heading to Game 6 in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Alex Pietrangelo scored on a wrist shot from the point with 44.1 seconds remaining in regulation and goalie Brian Elliott off for an extra attacker. That forced overtime for the second time in the series.
The Kings' Justin Williams scored in the final minute of Game 1, also in St. Louis.
Jeff Carter scored in the opening minute of the second and third periods for the Kings, who became the first road team to win in the series.

|καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν
|ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν
|καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίομεν παντὶ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν
|καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,

|ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ
Trespass, Sin, and Debt
It seems that early English translators deliberately chose to render the Greek word for "debt" (ὀφείλημα) as "trespass" in English. Matthew uses the Greek word for "trespass" (παράπτωμα) in the verse immediately after the Lord's Prayer (6:14) as a synonym for what we need to forgive, so the substitution in the prayer itself has a good scriptural grounding.
14 If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
"The English wording of the Our Father that we use today reflects the version mandated for use by Henry VIII (while still in communion with the Catholic Church), which was based on the English version of the Bible produced by Tyndale (1525)."[1] "Trespass" became established in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and the liturgy for the Eucharist. The Latin form in the Vulgate is "debts," and many Protestant denominations that broke away from Anglicanism or else developed independently of the English Protestant tradition use that translation, too.
Lead us not into temptation
- καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν
- "And lead us not into temptation" is a literal translation of these six words.
- "And do not put us to the test" is less literal, since it obscures the verb "lead" somewhat; but it is a legitimate translation of "peirasmos."

- ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ δοκιμάζεται χρυσὸς καὶ ἄνθρωποι δεκτοὶ ἐν καμίνῳ ταπεινώσεως
- "For gold is tested by fire and those who are worthy in the furnace of humiliation" (Sir 2:5).
- Prv 17:3; Wis 3:6; Is 48:10; 1 Pt 1:7.
ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται· ἡ γὰρ ἡμέρα δηλώσει, ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται, καὶ ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον ὁποῖόν ἐστιν τὸ πῦρ αὐτὸ δοκιμάσει
- "The work of each will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire [itself] will test the quality [δοκιμάσει] of each one's work" (1 Cor 3:13).
- Fr. William Saunders, "Straight Answers: Who Added the Doxology?"
- The "For thine..." is technically termed a doxology. In the Bible, we find the practice of concluding prayers with a short, hymn-like verse which exalts the glory of God. An example similar to the doxology in question is found in David's prayer located in 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 of the Old Testament.[2] The Jews frequently used these doxologies to conclude prayers at the time of Our Lord.
- In the early Church, the Christians living in the eastern half of the Roman Empire added the doxology "for thine..." to the Gospel text of the Our Father when reciting the prayer at Mass. Evidence of this practice is also found in the "Didache" (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles), a first century manual of morals, worship and doctrine of the Church.[3] Also, when copying the Scriptures, Greek scribes sometimes appended the doxology onto the original Gospel text of the Our Father; however, most texts today would omit this inclusion, relegate it to a footnote, or note that it was a later addition to the Gospel. Official Catholic Bibles, including the Vulgate, the Douay-Rheims, the Confraternity Edition, and the New American Bible, have never included this doxology.
In the Mass, the Latin rite of the Catholic Church places "For the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory are Yours, now and forever" at the end of the prayer, "Libera nos":
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
For the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory
are Yours, now and forever.
- ↑ "Straight Answers: Who Added the Doxology?"
- ↑ "Yours, LORD, are greatness and might, majesty, victory, and splendor. For all in heaven and on earth is yours; yours, LORD, is kingship; you are exalted as head over all" (1 Chron 29:11).
- ↑ Didache 8:2.

In Defense Of Mugabe
Who would fight for the rights of the immense African majority
of Southern Rhodesia? Who would resuscitate Zimbabwe? Robert Mugabe led the quest.
[Struggle For Zimbabwe: A Poem]
It touched Diego Velázquez
and he made it touch humanity
when he fixed forever in paint
the chivalrous and friendly gesture
of Spinola, the Spanish general
accepting with gentle smile the offered
keys of his vanquished adversary's Breda,
beginning thus the conciliatory mood
that spared the further flow of blood.
With robust African force now toughly sinewed
and armed with tactics skillfully conceived
in the counseling shade of baobab trees,
Robert Mugabe led the quest
to right wrongs old and new;
for sacrilegious and foreign hands had undone
the divine works of Zimbabwe's ancients
before the wild marauding bands
of Britishers fired up by Cecil Rhodes,
under whose eponymous weight
Zimbabwe virtually became extinct,
absorbed in a colony of settlers.
They killed native land owners as if clearing
of pesky pests the millions of hectares
they would steal and later bequeath
as legacy to Oxford, to Lords in the Upper House
and other progeny.
The British turned choice conquered lands
into exclusive settlements, sites for
exclusive schools, exclusive hospitals,
exclusive cricket clubs, all guaranteed
by exclusive security forces, exclusive elections
and finally an exclusive declaration of independence,
as if Britain would treat them as it did British Guiana,
as if Britain would not continue to protect them,
as if they were not "kith and kin," as Harold Wilson said.
Who would fight for the rights
of the immense African majority
of Southern Rhodesia?
Who would resuscitate Zimbabwe?
Robert Mugabe led the quest.
His ZANU-PF was the best
and having won, to unite the nation
he brought the others to reconciliation.
In that spirit, chivalrous in the extreme,
the loser's invitation to negotiate in their England
he did not spurn, even though
Toussaint L'Ouverture had warned him "don't go,
look what those others have done to me."
He went and received slow-killing doses
of false promises concerning lands
to be repossessed by the children
of the mass-murdered ones,
children now growing tired and old, with the
passing years becoming distractingly alarmed
at how the British, through MI6, the BBC,
the outlandish diplomatic pouch, in their zeal
to keep their Zimbabwean obligations unfulfilled,
to have the lands stay asleep,
settled in the laps of prepossessed settlers
as calmly as the Lords in their postprandial
slumber in the Upper House, intervene
ever more openly in the electoral process.
They would calumniate Mugabe for thinking
that Zimbabwe must remain the Zimbabwe
restored by bloody sacrifice, by his
lost ten years barred with British iron
from his fair quota of water, air, heat
or contact with the land,
but with the always excessive torture and forced labour.
He would distrust, with natural love, opposition
by compatriots far removed from the baobab
and happy in photos with Mr. Blair and Mr. Brown
framed in concrete and glass of globalized Harare,
in poses that seemingly make light of the history he knows.
And yet the edifying wisdom that emanated from Spinola,
that sense of a time for ferocity and one for gentleness
with which assembled baobab spirits are imbued,
the Zambesi now fearfully swift, now invitingly placid
that Mugabe showed to Wilson and to Joshua Nkomo,
shines still from the mind of the steadfast teacher,
beckoning to the embrace of reconciliation
those who recognize his supreme victory,
the one that must not, will not be reversed;
those who realize that the bonds of unity
are made perforce of autochthonous material,
with strands resistant to intrusive fingers,
unmanageable especially to old rejected designers.

Download CrimeStat IV, documentation, sample data sets and libraries.
On this page find:
CrimeStat IV (version 4.02) is the most recent version of CrimeStat, a spatial statistics program for the analysis of crime incident locations. CrimeStat was developed by Ned Levine & Associates of Houston, Texas, under the direction of Ned Levine, Ph.D., and funded by grants from NIJ (grants 1997-IJ-CX-0040, 1999-IJ-CX-0044, 2002-IJ-CX-0007, and 2005-IJ-CX-K037).
CrimeStat is Windows-based and interfaces with most desktop GIS programs. It provides statistical tools to aid law enforcement agencies and criminal justice researchers in their crime mapping efforts. Many police departments around the country use CrimeStat, as do criminal justice and other researchers.
The program includes more than 100 statistical routines for the spatial analysis of crime and other incidents. CrimeStat inputs incident locations (e.g., robbery locations) in dbf, point shp or ASCII formats using either spherical or projected coordinates. It calculates various spatial statistics and writes graphical objects to ArcGIS, MapInfo, Surfer for Windows and other GIS packages.
CrimeStat is organized into seven sections:
Section 1: Data Setup
Section 2: Spatial Description
Section 3: Hot Spot Analysis
Section 4: Spatial Modeling I
Section 5: Spatial Modeling II
Section 6: Crime Travel Demand Modeling
Crime travel demand modeling is an application of travel demand modeling, widely used in transportation planning, to crime analysis. The analysis is done by zones.
First, a crime trip is defined as a link between an offender residence (origin) and a crime location (destination).
Second, the model is run sequentially in four separate stages with multiple routines in several stages:
Section 7: Options
CrimeStat is accompanied by sample datasets and a manual that gives the background behind the statistics and examples. The manual also discusses applications of CrimeStat developed by other analysts and researchers. The program and sample data sets are in Windows-based zipped files that can be downloaded. The manual is a set of individual chapters in PDF files. They can be viewed online or downloaded. If downloading the PDF chapters separately, they should be saved into the same directory as the CrimeStat program. If the PDF file names are not renamed, they can be accessed directly from other chapters or from the program's help menu.
CrimeStat Libraries
The CrimeStat Libraries (version 1.1) are component objects that allow for the functions of CrimeStat to be programmed directly into custom software or systems. The CrimeStat Libraries include all of the routines that were developed through version 2.0 of the regular CrimeStat program, including spatial description, hot spot analysis and kernel density interpolation routines. Additional spatial autocorrelation routines have been included. The libraries can input dbf, point shape and ASCII text files and can output to shape file, ASCII text files and kml files.
CrimeStat is copyrighted by and the property of Ned Levine and Associates and is intended for the use of law enforcement agencies, criminal justice researchers, and educators. It can be distributed freely for educational or research purposes, but cannot be re-sold. The name CrimeStat is a registered trademark of Ned Levine & Associates.

The "Where Are They Now" feature is in a different format this week. Steve Liddle, who played for the Lipscomb Bisons baseball team, was an NAIA All-American as a junior and senior. In 1979 he was part of the NAIA National Championship team. The former McGavock High standout graduated from Lipscomb in 1981 with a degree in physical education. He is in his 11th season as coach on the Major League level with the Minnesota Twins. He served as bench coach from 2002-10 and was named third base coach in 2011. Lipscombsports.com caught up with him earlier this month as the Twins made a stop at Boston's historic Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox.
BOSTON _ Steve Liddle knows what a privilege it is to be able to walk on the field at Fenway Park, the oldest stadium in Major League baseball, celebrating its 100th year this season.
"Fenway Park is the most beloved baseball park in the United States," Liddle said as he prepared to throw batting practice. "Just to go out and walk on the same field as Ted Williams and other guys like that who have played here is a great honor."
Liddle, 53, isn't certain how much longer he will be involved in professional baseball. His family is based in Smyrna, Tenn., a long way from Minneapolis. He has enjoyed all of the perks of being part of a Major League team and admits that when he does leave the game it will be with a touch of regret.
"We travel first class," Liddle said. "All of our planes are charters. We stay in first-class hotels. After the games, all of the food is catered. We have a chef that takes care of everything.
"But the game is still the game. I enjoy the game regardless of what level. One of the perks of being on this level is the amenities."
Trying to spend time with his wife, Anne, and children, Benjamin, Jake and Sarah; is difficult for Liddle.
"It is a very long year," Liddle said. "I really cherish my time off. When I do have time off I try to catch up with my kids, but it is hard to do. You miss a lot of things with this job.
"Retirement is coming soon. I can feel it."
For nine years he served as bench coach, sitting in close proximity to manager Ron Gardenhire.
"Our staff is unbelievable here," Liddle said. "Ronnie and Rick Anderson, Scott Ullger, Jerry White, Joe Vavra and Rick Stelmaszek, we all came through the system. We have been life-long friends. We are like family. Sure, we have disagreements, but the next day it is forgotten.
"It is not every day that you get to work with your friends. We don't have any hidden agendas. Everybody is on the same page. We have good communication back and forth. To be honest with you, that is probably what I am going to miss the most."
As third base coach, Liddle's performance is more visible and he knows he can't always earn the approval of the thousands of fans that watch his every move when runners are in scoring position.
"As a third base coach I don't feel as involved in the game as I did as the bench coach because I don't have as much input as far as things like our plan of attack," Liddle said. "When you are out coaching third you are basically just relaying signs for the manager. You don't have as much input as far as in-game strategy.
"You obviously have to send players or hold players up and help them run the bases. Sometimes you have to make split –second decisions. It is a high pressure job. You have to stay out of the way of line drives, but it is fun place to watch a ball game."
Liddle has held the respect of players in the Twins organization throughout his career. He admits there are no secrets to his success in that area.
"If you want respect, you have to give respect," Liddle said. "It is a two-way street. I give respect to the players and they respect me, not because of my position, but because of how I try to treat them."
Liddle is a daily reader of Lipscombsports.com and tries to stay informed about all of Lipscomb's athletic teams. He remembers the lessons he learned from coach Ken Dugan at Lipscomb and coach Mel Brown, his coach at the time at McGavock.
"Coach Dugan and Coach Brown were both such fundamental baseball people," Liddle said. "And that is what wins ball games. The team that can execute a plan is the one that comes out ahead.
"The only way you can really win day-in and day-out is to be fundamentally sound. Those were the things that Coach Dugan really stressed at Lipscomb. I think that is what allowed those of us who went on to play pro ball to go to the next level and be solid."
From the time Liddle was 12 years old he first started thinking about the possibilities of playing pro baseball. He chose Lipscomb because he thought that the school's baseball program would give him the best opportunity to reach that goal. And if he failed as a player, he knew Lipscomb would give him a solid education.
"As a student-athlete those are the criteria you should look for in a school," Liddle said. "Can it get me to the next level regardless of whether you are talking about life or sports? The school covered that for me."
Liddle signed as a free agent with the then California Angels in 1981. He played in the minors, reaching as high as Class AAA, before accepting the role as manager of Kenosha, in Class A, in 1989. He managed on various levels in the minors and also served as the Twins Minor League Field Coordinator before moving to the Major League level.
He never expected to be on the Major League level in any capacity.
"It is just amazing how the Lord opens doors for us," Liddle said. "It is up to us to choose the right ones. I have been fortunate that God has blessed me with this. If you think you do things on your own then you are not thinking the right way. God gives us opportunities every day. It is up to us to make the most of them.
"If your roots are strong and firm you don't forget where you came from. They used to tell us you meet the same people on the way down as you do on the way up. I haven't forgotten that."

How hard is it to understand that, if there is a deal (and I continue to believe it's more unlikely than likely) to avert the fiscal cliff, it won't come much before the January 1 deadline?
If you've been reading CG&G for the past two years, you already know why: Congressional Republicans in general and House GOP'ers in particular have been saying since Election Day 2010 that the Gingrich Republicans of the mid-1990s compromised too early with Bill Clinton on the budget and would have gotten much better deals if they had only held out longer. The tea partiers have been especially adamant that their leadership has to drive the hardest bargain possible by not agreeing to anything early in the process.
And that's the strategy House Republicans in particular have followed ever since on anything having to do with revenues and spending: wait until the last possible moment. The debt ceiling deal from last August that produced the Budget Control Act and the sequester part of the fiscal cliff was the ultimate example of that.
So let me ask again: Why is anyone surprised that no negotiating sessions on the fiscal cliff between the White House and Congress are scheduled this week? Why is anyone shocked that statements made about the cliff since Congress returned from the Thanksgiving recess seem to have gotten more strident rather than less? How is it possible that the two sides seem further apart now than they were a week or so ago?
The answer: It was both totally predictable and absolutely predicted.
There will be no deal on the fiscal cliff before December 15 and from what I can see December 31 may be the better bet.
