Praise for Average Joe
"In celebrating 'the average Joe' with remarkably compelling stories, Troy Meeder proves that there's really no such thing as an average Joe and that the closer he gets to Jesus, the less average any Joe will seem or be. Every man will be used greatly by God if he allows himself to be broken and shaped into the Lord's image, no matter how unheralded
his title or setting."
—Fred Stoeker, coauthor of Every Man's Battle
"Men love to succeed, and we run from anything that has a high probability of failure associated with it. Rather than heap a bunch of guilt on guys, Troy has collected stories and reflections that most men will relate to—and which inspire us to consider what we're living for. Sharing from his own life as an average Joe, Troy suggests ways we can reframe
how we're measuring success—and make the most of life. I'm really glad he wrote this book and will be giving a copy to each of my two college-age boys!"
—John Fuller, vice president, Focus on the Family
"Troy Meeder's heartfelt accounts from both his own personal experience and those of friends and family touch a raw nerve in your soul. More than once I found my eyes welling up—sometimes because of the sincerity of the story, other times because I realized it was me in the story. Average Joe reminds us that living a life focused on faith, family, and friends is what makes a man exceptional."
—Rick Wiggers, average Joe and account manager
"Troy Meeder speaks prophetically to God's favorite group of men, which He likes to use to foment spiritual evolutions: average Joes. This book echoes the blueprint in the book of Acts, where God fills and forms ordinary men with a powerful spiritual word for their time as well as liberates them from synthetic, broken male culture into an authentic, powerful life in Christ."
—Kenny Luck, president of Every Man Ministries, author of the God's Man Series, and men's pastor of Saddleback Church
"Troy Meeder nails it. Average Joe is a must-read for any guy who questions whether his life can make a difference in the world. Honest and straightforward, Troy reminds us that being 'average' does not equate with mediocrity and that with God nothing is impossible."
—Eric Close, actor, director, CBS
"Real heroes are desperately needed in our society today. Troy Meeder's book serves as an inspiration to any man who doubts his significance and desires to be a hero in God's eyes."
—Ryan Dobson, author, speaker, and host of Grounded Radio
"An excellent read—like having a cup of 'joe' with your best friend and being infused with hope and destiny! I know it is time for 'iron to sharpen iron,' but this takes true courage. Troy Meeder dynamically opens this realm up in himself. Going through the study guide gave me the give and take I needed to feel as if Troy and I were truly looking into each other's heart. We men need to require more of ourselves, and this means we must take the chance and go deeper. After reading Average Joe, I face life with a new focus and purpose."
—Rafael Olgine, average Joe and safety specialist
"This book is dynamite! If you are an average Joe, Troy will biblically blow up the lie that your existence and your life are not significant. And if you think you're not an average Joe, then you have an even deeper problem! Either way, this book is strong medicine that counters diseased thinking. The best men's book I've read in a long time."
—Steve Farrar, speaker, author of Point Man

Cygnet stages controversial musical about presidential assailants
It's hard to know what's more eye-opening: the fact that Cygnet Theatre is finally opening a show it was ready to roll out nearly five years ago, or that "Assassins" exists in the first place.
This is, after all, a musical about the real-life people who have tried (with widely varying results) to kill U.S. presidents. What's more, the show is, in its own way, "outright funny," says Cygnet artistic chief
The controversial 1990 musical, Murray is quick to add, "is not in any way a glorification of the assassins or what they did. There is a sense of trying to understand what they did, but not approving of it."
Still, "Assassins" — which has never been produced professionally in San Diego (and didn't make it to Broadway until 2004) — is never going to be the easiest sell. It's the kind of show that can make even composer Sondheim's own gleefully macabre "Sweeney Todd" look slightly quaint by comparison.
And the timing felt particularly iffy to Murray in early 2009, when Cygnet initially planned to open "Assassins."
A little too real?
Two of the assailants portrayed in "Assassins" — Sara Jane Moore and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme — are not only alive but now out of prison.
The production was cast and rehearsals were ready to start. But with the sense of hope surrounding the inauguration of America's first black president (and the undercurrent of concern over what other emotions that seismic event might spark), Murray decided "it just seemed inappropriate to do the show."
On top of that, "the economy fell out," he notes. "We were very worried about doing a risky musical with a big cast and a big orchestra" in that environment.
The economic outlook has changed a bit since then; Murray and Co.'s perspective on "Assassins," quite a bit more.
"I think we decided that the right time was whenever you do it," he says. "There will always be people who think it's too sensitive, that the times are too sensitive. And actually, that's what the play is there for. It's there to open conversations, and it's there to bring up issues and questions.
"So it's always appropriate. And unfortunately, it's always going to be timely."
Murray talks of how the show reminds us there can be consequences to "dismissing the danger of those people in our country who are angry and feel that no one's listening to them."
But he also points to a number in the show called "Something Just Broke," sung by a chorus of five bystanders who more or less represent us, the public, bearing witness to violence of all kinds.
Here is what they conclude, in Murray's words: "No matter how traumatic that event might feel in the moment, the country always heals."
When: Previews begin Thursday. Opens March 23. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays-Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 3 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays. Through April 28.
Where: Cygnet Theatre, 4040 Twiggs St., Old Town
Tickets: $39-$59 (discounts available)
Phone: (619) 337-1525

"Welcome to your life." Those were the words spoken to me by my therapist a couple of weeks ago and they've stuck with me ever since.
I was going through a brief phase of acceptance with regard to my anxiety disorder and seemed to be on the upswing at the time. That didn't last long though as the very next week was one of the hardest I've had in a long time. I think a lot of it had to do with Ellie's passing (we put our older dog to sleep last Tuesday and it was much harder than I thought it would be). I've had some other significant changes/stressors going on too – my little sister moved in with us and my mom went through a health scare. I went into grieving mode and a lot of emotions, thoughts and feelings, as well as anxiety and panic, emerged as a result.
I decided to start on anti-anxiety/anti-depression medication as of two weeks ago. Going on meds definitely wasn't my first choice, but after going several months with only brief and fleeting improvements in the way I was feeling, I decided it was the right choice for me for right now. If being on medication can help me feel a little better while I continue to go to therapy and focus on sleep, exercise and taking better care of myself, then I will do it. I'd gotten to a point where I've been in nearly a constant state of anxiety and, as a result, I have been neglecting my kids and my marriage. I'm sick of telling my kids, "Don't do that. Mommy doesn't feel well." I want them to be able to enjoy life and I want to enjoy it with them. I don't want my whole family to have to walk on egg shells and constantly wonder how mommy is doing and how she will react. It's not fair to them. A friend pointed out it's not fair to me either to have to feel that way.
I've been taking Zoloft for two weeks now (a very low dose since when I tried to increase the dose, I started having insomnia, which was absolutely counterproductive) and haven't noticed any good benefits yet, but my psychiatrist said it can take 2-6 weeks or even as many as 8, so I'm trying to be patient.
At the suggestion of my therapist last week, I picked up the book "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" by Edmund Bourne. It's been a huge eye-opener for me both in showing me how I likely developed anxiety/panic disorder and in showing me steps to help myself recover from it. It's also amazing how many things I can identify with in it. Talk about "welcome to your life." This book feels like it was written just for me. If you have any issues with anxiety, panic, phobias or OCD, I strongly recommend this book. I am hopeful that it is going to have a huge impact on me as I try to heal myself. I've been doing the breathing techniques the past two nights and have found them alone to be very helpful.
One of the things I've found most frustrating in this whole process though is just how much of a process it is. There is no simple quick fix. Even medication takes time to kick in and to adjust the dosage and that (in my opinion) is really only a temporary solution and one part of the equation if true recovery is going to happen. And so I'm doing my best to be aware that the condition I'm in now took years and years to develop and it is going to take a long time to heal from as well. (Thanks to my dad for those words of wisdom.) I have to learn to appreciate the small victories and take it one day at a time or I will drive myself crazy.
I've taken a break from reading the news or anything that will likely raise my anxiety level. I read a little bit about the swine flu a couple days ago, and it sent me into a full-fledged panic attack. I've told Jody to tell me if there's anything I need to know. Otherwise, I need to keep myself in the dark about some things for now for my own peace of mind.
Part of the reason I'm writing all of this is to let you know where I'm currently at, and also to encourage others who may be going through something like this that you are not alone. I also want you to know that I may not be blogging that often in the weeks ahead. (Subscribe to my RSS feed if you want to stay current.) I've already tapered off considerably from where I used to be – posting daily or nearly daily – and it feels good to take a break. I also haven't been on Twitter much. I am sure it will wax and wane, but I also feel part of my recovery needs to involve looking at my internet addiction. Yes, I will freely admit to having one. I have lots of justifications for it too, but ultimately, I want to find a way to use the internet for productive reasons, not just to fritter away my time (which is what I've been doing way too much lately).
Yesterday was the first day this season I got out in the dirt in my backyard and did some weeding in my little strawberry patch from last year. I honestly haven't felt at all like gardening so far this year, despite ordering seeds, seedlings and even some raspberry plants (that are still sitting, unplanted, in my garage). Although several of my friends have been digging in the dirt and planting for weeks, I just haven't felt the gardening urge at all myself. That is, until yesterday. As I was weeding and getting the dirt under my fingernails and noticing that many of my strawberry plants have flowers on them, and the kids were playing in the dirt beside me, I began to feel alive and good and once again had the desire to garden. I think growing things and digging in the dirt will be very good for my mental health right now.
Like it or not, having anxiety/panic disorder is my life right now. It's not what I would choose, but it's where I'm at. I'm choosing to face it head on and do what I can to make it better – little by little, taking baby steps, one day at a time.

Steubenville, OH - Geneva College got an offensive explosion from forward Maura Allen and another goose egg from senior goalkeeper Lauren Londino on their way to their second victory in three days. The Golden Tornadoes defeated Franciscan University 3-0 on Saturday afternoon to move to 2-0 on the young season.
Allen, who scored two goals in Geneva′s season opening victory over Penn State Beaver on Thursday night, scored all three of Geneva′s goals against Franciscan. Meanwhile, Londino continues to move closer to the Geneva College record books. Posting her 19th career shutout, Londino is now just two away from matching the career record for shut-outs.
Geneva will continue its season long road trip in the second of five straight away from home on Tuesday at Mt. Aloysius. The Golden Tornadoes return to Merriman Complex on September 16th against Point Park University.
Geneva College is a comprehensive Christian college of the arts, sciences and professional studies.

Old Dominion's football program will compete for the Conference USA championship in 2014, one year earlier than planned, league athletic directors voted at their annual winter meetings.
"I think this is a huge opportunity for Old Dominion to be eligible in 2014," ODU athletic director Wood Selig said, as he departed the league meetings in Miami. "It basically cuts in half our transition period into the conference and assures that in 2014 every game matters and gives us a chance to compete for the championship."
C-USA athletic directors voted unanimously to permit ODU to compete for the title in 2014, Selig said. The Monarchs, with help from league schools, already were slated to play a full, eight-game conference schedule as they moved from Football Championship Subdivision status to the Football Bowl Subdivision.
"There really was very little discussion about it," Selig said of ODU's inclusion. "I think they figured that since we were already playing a full schedule, it just made sense to go ahead and allow us to be eligible."
"We are excited that Old Dominion football will play a Conference USA schedule beginning in 2014," C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky said. "If they are successful against challenging opponents, they should certainly have the opportunity to compete at the highest level of the conference."
ODU coach Bobby Wilder, in the midst of a six-state recruiting push before National Signing Day next month, said, "I equate this in recruiting to signing a five-start, national recruit. That's how big this is for our program and for current and future student-athletes."
The Monarchs' present sophomore class, which includes Payton Award-winning quarterback Taylor Heinicke, will have the opportunity to compete for a conference title as seniors.
"They just received a late Christmas present," Wilder said. "When we made the move to Conference USA, everyone was under the impression that 2012 would be their last chance for them to compete for a title and now they get to do it as seniors. It's a huge incentive for them and for us."
ODU's recruiting benefits, as well. Wilder said that some opposing schools have been telling recruits, particularly junior college prospects, that they would have nothing to play for, for two years if they went to ODU.
"Now, we can tell junior college recruits that they can compete for a title as seniors and high school recruits they can compete for a title their second year," Wilder said.
Though ODU can compete for the C-USA title in 2014, bowl eligibility is a bit trickier. The NCAA determines bowl eligibility and requires a two-year transition from FCS to FBS, meaning ODU isn't considered fully bowl eligible until 2015.
Selig said that ODU would be bowl eligible in 2014 only if not enough teams qualify to fill all bowl slots, and then ODU would have to petition the NCAA.
"A lot of things would have to happen," Selig said. "I'm not optimistic, but it is possible."
Conference USA's primary bowl tie-in is with the Liberty Bowl, where it sends its champion. Should ODU win the conference title in 2014, the Liberty Bowl probably wouldn't be an option.
"Football isn't like basketball," Selig said. "It's not like the NCAA tournament, where the conference champion is the automatic qualifier. In football, there's still some maneuvering that's done that allows bowls to get certain teams and fill their slots. We wouldn't hinder that process, and our understanding is that the Liberty Bowl is on board with that."
Revenue and revenue sharing also were discussed at the meetings. Selig said that under the present format, C-USA receives approximately $3 million per year from football. When the new playoff structure is implemented in 2014-15, he said that C-USA stands to receive approximately $13 million from football.
"The upside is that our revenue front is very positive," Selig said, "even better than we thought when we made the move."
Sixty percent of the money from football is divided evenly among the member schools. The other 40 percent is distributed based on results — bowl participation and other performance-based criteria.
While ODU football will be in transition for the upcoming 2013 season, most of the school's other sports will compete in Conference USA in 2013-14. C-USA is scheduled to have 16 members next year, with the inclusion of Florida Atlantic and Middle Tennessee State, and before the announced departures of East Carolina and Tulane to the Big East in 2014.
Selig said that in basketball, the plan is to play a 16-game conference schedule. All schools would face everybody once and one team twice. ODU's home-and-home partner is Marshall. East Carolina's will be Charlotte.

Following the customer journey isn't a walk in the park.
You face numerous business and technology challenges related to tracking, mapping, and optimizing the customer journey.
Lack of automated journey optimization.
Inefficient, fragmented marketing technologies.
Inability to seamlessly add mobile moments.
Lack of integrated actionable data.
Take the next step toward customer journey maturity.
When you address the challenges of customer journey mapping, you'll see several benefits.
A unified customer view shared across teams.
The customer journey provides insight into behaviors, preferences, needs, and more as customers engage with your brand at home, at work, and on the go. Having these insights helps you improve content targeting, personalization, and optimization.
Better understanding of key touchpoints.
Tracking the customer journey reveals the experiences that translate to brand advocacy, loyalty, conversions, and revenue, viewed in context and in real time. Use touchpoints that made a difference to better serve existing customers, and leverage insights to acquire new ones.
You can identify conversion pathways.
You can get a holistic yet detailed view of the paths consumers take with your brand. Journey analysis enables you to better attribute engagement and behaviors to conversion events by analyzing devices, channels, locations, and more.
Team alignment to a customer-centric focus.
Enterprises mature toward an experience-driven business model by tracking and mapping the customer journey, allowing teams to collaborate on a customer's entire brand experience.
Industry leaders guide the customer journey.
Brands capitalize on a unified customer view to deliver experiences that are more relevant, consistent, and personal.

Customer journey FAQ.
Why is focusing on the customer journey important to becoming a mature experience business?
Because of the changing consumer landscape, issues such as multi-device engagements, channel fatigue, and expectations of a singular brand experience demand that the entire lifecycle be treated as a continuous journey.
Isn't the customer journey just about analytics?
No. Journey management goes beyond simply analyzing customer behaviors. The principles of content management, audience targeting, omnichannel experience, and campaign optimization are blended to achieve success.
How does identifying the customer journey help our marketing team?
Journey mapping can help you set budgets, identify technology needs, set workflows, improve content and campaign delivery, and manage development cycles.
Is marketing the only business function impacted by a customer journey strategy?
Focusing on the customer experience requires organizational change that can impact customer-facing organizations as well as backend teams like accounting, human resources, and purchasing.
If I create a static customer journey map after analyzing available data, are we good to go?
No. Customer expectations and preferences, as well as technology and competitive climate, can change over time, leading to new and different types of interactions. As such, best practices suggest ongoing journey mapping.
How do we get started?
Start planning your strategy by holding workshops with stakeholders to uncover roadblocks, requirements, resource availability, and other issues. A successful approach looks at the impact on the organization first, then builds an implementation plan.

President Barack Obama on Sunday urged college graduates to participate in politics and said that without broad public involvement special interest groups can defeat legislation supported by the majority.
Obama, who said he is "obsessed with this issue" of inspiring citizens to engage with the political system, in a commencement address to Ohio State University was indirectly referring to the recent defeat of a proposal to expand background checks for gun purchases.The measure enjoyed broad support among Americans but was defeated in the U.S. Senate.
Obama told students they need to vote and run for office and said that giving in to cynicism gives room for lobbyists and "the well-connected" to get their way in Washington. "That's how a small minority of lawmakers get cover to defeat something the vast majority of their constituents want," he told the crowd of more than 57,000 at Ohio State University, including the 10,000 graduates.
Gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association have lobbied heavily against Obama's gun control proposals made in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting.
RELATED: 19 Unbelievable Facts About Guns in America
Obama and his supporters have said that it is up to voters to hold their elected representatives accountable for the vote. "Class of 2013: you can ultimately break that cycle. Only you can make sure the democracy you inherit is as good as we know it can be. But it requires your dedicated, informed and engaged citizenship," he said.
The president said tragedies of the past year have shown how Americans can come together for the common good. Obama said Americans have shown how citizens can help communities recover from disaster like Hurricane Sandy last year, the recent Boston Marathon bombings and the December school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
"In the aftermath of darkest tragedy, we have seen the American spirit at its brightest," Obama said. "We've seen courage and compassion, a sense of civic duty, and a recognition that we are not a collection of strangers."
Obama's remarks come as polls by the Harvard University Institute of Politics show that the "millennial" crop of students - an age bracket that supported him in his election campaigns - is becoming fed up with politics.
Obama usually delivers a few commencement addresses each spring. The Ohio State University address is his first. He will also speak at Morehouse College in Atlanta on May 19, and at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on May 24.

One of the world's most popular hobbies, philately is the study and collection of stamps. Many hobbyists collect regular postage stamps, others collect special-use issues—some of which are unrelated to postal service. National postal administrations or smaller political entities and their lawful competitors issue stamps. So too do local posts, express companies, and even forgers.
While hobbyists organize their collections around personal interests, they frequently enjoy the philatelic pursuits of other collectors. Consequently, philately has fostered local clubs, national societies, major annual exhibitions, and innumerable publications since its rather obscure origins in nineteenth-century England.
England introduced the world's first postage stamp, the Penny Black, in 1840. A year later, a young woman from Leadenhall Street advertised in the London Times, asking readers to help her amass enough cancelled stamps to paper her dressing room. She had reportedly already collected 16,000 stamps, thanks to close friends. Whether this ad spawned the interest or simply reflected it, a 'British School' of collecting emerged. Adherents acquired stamps for the design alone, cutting away the perforate or imperforate border before gluing the item in an album.
Across the English Channel in France, a different philosophy about collecting emerged. The 'French School' proposed classifying stamps, arguing that "the history of every design is worth tracing through the various mutations of shade, paper, watermark and perforation." Devotees of this viewpoint cultivated the scholarly aspects of the hobby, leading some people to call philately a science. Further, the French invented one of the hobby's primary tools, the perforation gauge.
The French profoundly influenced philately's course. Its emphasis on stamp production induced proponents in early stamp societies to assemble facts for every stamp issue and publish their findings, first in monographs and then in catalogs. This published knowledge educated the collecting public and provided a common language for hobbyists.
As more countries issued stamps and mail burgeoned within and among nations, a new field of interest emerged—postal history. Its focus is not only the history of postal systems but also the history of related uses of stamps on mail. The history of postal systems is called 'Postal Operations' rather than 'Postal History'. Philately, then, encompasses not only stamps per se but also a broad-based interpretation of the physical mail—especially the outer covers of the communication that received the postage, the postmark and backstamp, carriers' marks, and special services afforded the piece.
If any vestige of the 'British School' exists today, it would live in topical and thematic collecting, where the emphasis is on the field of interest expressed by the stamp design rather than the stamp itself.

Team Forster's Brushed by a Star, engaged in a stretch-long duel with Joyful Victory, prevailed by a head to win the 27th running of the Grade II, $168,900 Chilukki for fillies and mares on Saturday at Churchill Downs.
Brushed by a Star, ridden by Corey Lanerie and trained by Grant Forster who heads the winning ownership group, clocked one mile in 1:37.16 over a track rated fast, despite intermittent rain showers throughout the day.
Brushed by a Star rated behind the leaders who carved out early fractions of :23.27 and :46.88 before angling out for the drive to take on Joyful Victory, who had a slight advantage. The two matched strides through the length of the Churchill Downs stretch, but Brushed by a Star proved best late.
Brushed by a Star paid $15.40, $6.40 and $3.80 as the 6-1 fourth choice. Joyful Victory, the 2-1 second choice with Robby Albarado up, returned $3.80 and $2.80. Salty Strike, the 9-5 favorite ridden by Victor Lebron, was another 5 ½ lengths back in third and paid $2.60. Juanita, Indulgence, Spectacular Sky, Bonnie's Empire, Make a Toast, Dancinginherdreams and Brilliant Future completed the order of finish. Jemima's Pearl was scratched.
Brushed by a Star recorded back-to-back stakes victories this summer by taking the Iowa Distaff at Prairie Meadows and the Molly Pitcher (GII) at Monmouth Park. Prior to her runner-up effort in the Mari Hulman George, Brushed by a Star finished fifth behind Love and Pride in the Personal Ensign (GI) at Saratoga.
She cut back to a one-turn mile in the Chilukki, which honors the 3-year-old filly who won this event in track-record time (1:33.57) in 2000, after five straight races at 1 1/16 miles or further.
A 4-year-old daughter of Eddington, Brushed by a Star improved her record to 19-6-5-2—$441,991 with the first-place check of $99,482. She is scheduled to be sold as a racing and broodmare prospect at Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Monday (Nov. 5).
Earlier on the card, Maggi Moss' Delaunay, trained by Tom Amoss and ridden by Shaun Bridgmohan, ran away with the $61,100 Bet On Sunshine. The 5-year-old gelding beat Laurie's Rocket by 5 ½ lengths while clocking six furlongs in 1:10.19 over a track rated fast. The son of Smoke Glacken paid $4 to win and banked $35,355. Overall, he has won 10 of 35 starts and $344,455.
Racing at Churchill Downs continues Sunday with a 10-race program that begins at 12:40 p.m. ET.
Grant Forster, trainer of Brushed by a Star, winner: "We're just ecstatic. We were very concerned about the turn back to the one mile so I had her sharper than usual. We just kind of backed off on her and tried to train her a little lighter.
"When you're at Churchill Downs you want to have Corey Lanerie in the saddle. He rode a great race and we were very lucky to beat Larry Jones' filly (Joyful Victory)."
Q: When they hit the line, did you think you won? "I didn't know. I thought we had a chance and you just hope you get the bob. Apparently we did, but I would have taken a dead heat."
Q: And she's going to the Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Monday, correct? "She's going to the sale and we're going to sell with a reserve. If we get a fair price, then we'll sell her. If we don't, we're looking forward to racing her next year."
Q: If she doesn't sell, would you consider bringing her back in the Falls City (Handicap at Churchill Downs on Nov. 22)? "If we don't sell her, then we'll be back in the Falls City."
Corey Lanerie, jockey on Brushed by a Star, winner: "I had a good trip, but it wasn't the trip I thought I was going to get. I thought I would be sitting second or third behind the 10 (Spectacular Sky) and maybe Joyful Victory, but they outbroke her today, so I just drafted in behind Salty Strike. I swung her to the outside turning for home and she got by them. I thought I was an easy winner and then Joyful Victory fought back to make it a close one."
Q: Did you think you won? "I wasn't sure. I actually thought Joyful Victory might have come back and gotten me. From where I was, it looked like she (Joyful Victory) might have gotten the lucky bob."
Larry Jones, trainer of Joyful Victory, runner-up: (smiling) "We got a perfect trip. We got the trip we wanted considering the two hole. We knew we wanted to get off that rail and we did. Everything looked good, but (trainer) Grant (Forster)'s horse (Brushed by a Star) just ran really , really good. It was a good horse race. It's just unfortunate that we had to lose it like that. I'd just as soon get beat by 10 lengths."
Q: Anything else for her this year? "I really don't know. We had hoped this race would set her up for the Falls City (GII on Nov. 22 at Churchill Downs). She's going to stay right here. She runs two turns just as good as she does one."
Robby Albarado, rider on Joyful Victory, runner-up: "It was a great race. It's tough to lose one that way."
Q: What did you think at the wire? "I didn't know. It was close, I didn't know. I just knew it was a head-bob. But she ran well. I had her everywhere I wanted to be except the winner's circle."
Ken McPeek, trainer of Salty Strike, third as the 9-5 favorite: "She ran a little flat. I thought she finished a little flat. He (Victor Lebron) rode her good. He had her in a good position and she just didn't kick like she normally has. She's run all year, though – north, south, east and west.
"I think she's going to run next year. Mr. (Craig) Singer and I have already talked about it and he said he'd like to campaign her, and I think that's a good move. She's got a lot of talent."
Victor Lebron, rider on Salty Strike, third as the 9-5 favorite: "She broke good. She was in good position. Going to the 3/8ths I thought I had a little more horse, but she just kind of faded on me. She seemed to come with her 'A' game and she broke good, but it just wasn't her day."

EMC offers a somewhat more Hurricane Sandy proof array
Data can be in two places at the same time.
EMC's array-virtualising and federating VPLEX product now supports vMotion workload flow between active-active data centres up to 200km (a little over 125 miles) apart, twice as far as before.
VPLEX is a box, running the Geosynchrony OS, that sits on front of an array and communicates with another VPLEX box sitting in front of a second array and enables them to federate and work together. Customers can access a single version of data at the two locations. They can also move applications, data and VSphere virtual machines non-disruptively between the two arrays. On top of that VPLEX can also virtualise third-party arrays.
The two arrays can be in the same data centre, and until now, could be in different ones up to 100km apart when in an active-active relationship. However, the farther apart two data centres are, the better placed they are for disaster recovery. VPLEX Metro now supports two data centres up to 200km apart with a 10ms round-trip latency. EMC says that this ensures "that updated VMware vSphere vMotion data can be in two places at the same time during a move — with twice the distance as before."
EMC has also devised VPLEX Metro Express Edition that combines VPLEX with RecoverPoint continuous data protection software, and says this "enables mission-critical availability between two data centres.
A third part of EMC's announcement is that VPLEX and RecoverPoint can automatically load balancing WANs to improve network availability and utilisation, "through support for EMC RAPIDPath technology, which transforms VPLEX and RecoverPoint WAN connectivity from active-passive to active-active." It means that the network connectivity between two VPLEX locations can continue across a link failure. In that situation VPLEX will route traffic over a second link without breaking network connectivity or requiring a WAN failover process to take place.
EMC implies that the two VPLEX boxes can be in a hybrid cloud, with one in an enterprise data centre and the other in a public cloud data centre. This could be a chicken-and-egg scenario though. Public cloud service providers won't take up VPLEX to provide active failover to the public cloud from private cloud data centres using VPLEX until they see lots of private cloud data centres using VPLEX, and vice versa.
It might be the case that someone in EMC is thinking of Hopkinton itself providing a public cloud data centre, probably with partners, to provide a VPLEX-front-ended public cloud data centre facility to be the active:active fall-back for private cloud data centres using VPLEX.

N Latex CDT Assay
Highly specific screening for detection of chronic alcohol abuse
Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is regarded as a very specific marker for identifying excessive alcohol consumption and monitoring abstinence during outpatient treatment.
Regular alcohol consumption of more than 50–80 g of ethanol per day for at least 2 weeks can result in a changed glycosylation pattern of transferrin, leading to a higher rate of isoforms lacking one or both entire carbohydrate chains. These isoforms (disialo- and asialotransferrin) are collectively named carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (Figure 1). After approximately 2–4 weeks of abstinence, CDT concentrations usually return to normal levels.
Compared to other markers, CDT offers superior sensitivity and specificity:1,2
- CDT is seemingly unaffected by liver diseases other than those induced by alcohol abuse (except biliary cirrhosis and chronic active hepatitis).
- CDT is not influenced by common chronic diseases or medication.
- CDT indicates the effectiveness of alcohol detoxification much earlier than gamma-glutamyl transferase or erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume, for example.
Based on an assumed cutoff of 2.5 %CDT, test results obtained with N Latex CDT on BN™ Systems exhibit a specificity of 97% and a sensitivity of 93% in comparison to the %CDT values determined with HPLC.3

What a difference a week makes. Following word a week ago Monday that the Chestnut Hill Center for Enrichment (formerly Senior Center) was closing by the end of the year due to finances, three anonymous angels and the center's landlord have come to the rescue.
Board President Marilyn Paucker received a call on Monday night, Nov. 29, from one anonymous donor who had received the letter that went out to friends and members just before Thanksgiving announcing the closing of the 32-year-old institution.
"Other letters went out on Monday, and by Wednesday, once the article in the Local hit, two other "angels" came forward," Paucker said.
After learning abut the generous donations Pauker met with landlord Richard Snowden of Bowman Properties and their discussions turned from establishing a timeline to clear out the furniture and shut off utilities to discussing the availability of the building in the 8400 block of Germantown Avenue for another year.
"At that point he said he would lease the property to us for the next year rent free and that he would help to raise additional funds," Paucker said. "I was just shocked.
In a release from the CHCE, Snowden said he was pleased to help out the center.
"We were inspired to increase our commitment by the wonderful gifts from you donors," he said.
So a week after coping with certain doom, Paucker went to the center's board meeting last Thursday night with the news of the donors coming forward and the rent-free offer from Snowden.
"We were supposed to discuss the closure, but it turned into a lengthy and invigorating meeting about how to go forward," she said. "We are going to try to act smarter with our money and we are exploring building an endowment. Everybody is energized by the generosity of these angels, our landlord, and the outpouring from the community."
The first group to publicly hear the news was the Craft Group, who were featured in the initial story about the closing of CHCE.
Paucker and Mary Zell entered the main meeting space this past Monday to share the new news to the crafters.
"Thanks to the angels and the article in the Local, we are moving forward. This will be known as The Miracle on Germantown Avenue," Paucker told the group of women.
"What a lovely Christmas present," said Lucille Mullings as she hugged Zell and the others.
Zell praised Paucker's efforts.
"We have the best board president ever," she said. "She has worked non-stop this past week to make this happen."
Zell said the group was proud to have paid the modest rent since relocating in March 2008,
"But at this point we have to take whatever comes our way," she said. "We are grateful."
Other members of the craft group were overjoyed by the news.
"We believe in Santa Claus," said Rina Fesnak, 86, who has lived in Chestnut Hill for 83 years and whose birthday was celebrated at the center last Monday.
"Never say never," said longtime crafter and artist Velma Whitlock, who was busy organizing the crafts that were leftover from a weekend craft show.
Paucker told the gathering that the women needed to help with fundraising and getting new members involved.
"We don't want to be in the same situation a year from now," she said.
"What we have is a little nest here," said member Mary Hayes. "That's what it feels like, a nest. Thank God for those angels."
CHCE members, friends and the public is invited to a CHCE Holiday Celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 21 at 1 p.m .at the Center on the Hill at the Chestnut Hill Presbyterian Church. Donations to CHCE can be sent to CHCE, 8431 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118. For more information about CHCE programs go to www.chenrichment.org.
Barbara sherf can be reached at 215-233-8022 or email@example.com.

This chapter describes features in ADF Desktop Integration that help you test your integrated Excel workbook as you configure it. It includes the following sections:
Section 13.1, "Introduction to Testing Your Integrated Excel Workbook"
Testing an integrated Excel workbook before you publish and deploy it to your end users enables you to verify that the functionality you configure behaves as you intend. Before you test your integrated Excel workbook, test the Fusion web application with which you integrate the Excel workbook. Once your Fusion web application functions as you intend, use the test mode provided by ADF Desktop Integration to test the functionality in your integrated Excel workbook.
Test the Fusion web application that you integrate your Excel workbook with before you start testing the integrated Excel workbook. For information about testing a Fusion web application, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework. Verify that the Fusion web application you want to integrate an Excel workbook with, supports ADF Desktop Integration by carrying out the procedure described in Section C.1, "Verifying That Your Fusion Web Application Supports ADF Desktop Integration."
There are some differences between the test mode and the runtime mode when you run the integrated Excel workbook. Table 13-1 lists these differences.
Table 13-1 Differences between Test mode and Runtime mode
|Test mode
|Runtime mode
Does not perform tamper check
Performs tamper check
Does not display the connection confirmation dialog
Displays the connection confirmation dialog
Displays the Oracle ADF ribbon tab
Does not display Oracle ADF tab
Allows you to switch back to design mode
Does not allow you to switch back to design mode
Before you run the Fusion web application in JDeveloper, ensure that you have closed all integrated Excel workbooks and the Excel application. The application deployment may fail if it encounters locked files as Excel locks the files that it opens.
Tip:If you plan to test integrated Excel workbooks that you downloaded from web pages of the Fusion web application, you should republish them before redeploying the application. Republishing the workbooks ensures that you have their latest versions.
If you make changes to the Fusion web application to resolve problems identified by testing the application, you need to:
Close Excel and all integrated Excel workbooks. The application deployment may fail if it encounters locked files, as Excel locks the files that it opens.
Rebuild the JDeveloper project where you develop the Fusion web application.
Run the Fusion web application.
Reload the page definition files that are associated with the integrated Excel workbook. Click the Refresh Bindings button in Oracle ADF tab of the integrated Excel workbook to reload the page definition files.
These steps make sure that the changes in the Fusion web application are available to the integrated Excel workbook. For information about how to reload a page definition file, see Section 4.3.3, "Reloading a Page Definition File in an Excel Workbook."
The server ping test enables you to check the version of ADF Desktop Integration Remote Servlet in a running system. It also helps to confirm that the remote servlet is loaded and responding.
After running the Fusion web application and logging in as a valid user, open a URL in the following format to verify whether the remote servlet is running:
For example, if you run the Master Price List Fusion web application, open the following URL:
The following response verifies that the remote servlet is running:
Oracle ADF 11g Desktop Integration (184.108.40.206.30) [1738]
Response from oracle.adf.desktopintegration.servlet.DIRemoteServlet: OK.
In the above example, the remote servlet version is
22.214.171.124.30 and the ADF Desktop Integration version corresponding to the remote servlet is
Note:A valid user session is required to run the server ping test. If authentication is enabled for the web application, you will be prompted for valid credentials to log in.
As you configure your Excel workbook to integrate with a Fusion web application, you can switch to test mode from design mode to test the functionality that you add to the workbook. You use the Oracle ADF tab to switch to test mode from design mode and from design mode to test mode.
Test mode enables you to test the functionality of your integrated Excel workbook as you configure it incrementally. It also enables you to view the integrated Excel workbook from the end user's perspective, as test mode corresponds to what end users see when they view and execute the published integrated Excel workbook. The difference between an integrated Excel workbook in test mode and a published integrated Excel workbook is that the ADF Desktop Integration task pane is not available to users of the published integrated Excel workbook.
For more information about test mode and design mode, see Section 5.1, "Introduction to Development Tools."
ADF Desktop Integration can generate log files that capture information based on events triggered by an integrated Excel workbook. For more information about these log files, see Appendix C, "Troubleshooting an Integrated Excel Workbook."
Note:Before you start testing the integrated Excel workbook, ensure that:
The Fusion web application is running
The ping to server is successful, and the server is configured for ADF Desktop Integration
To run an integrated Excel workbook in test mode:
To test and run an integrated Excel workbook, click the Run button on the Oracle ADF tab.
The integrated Excel workbook switches to test mode from design mode.
To stop test mode and return the integrated Excel workbook to design mode:
In the integrated Excel workbook that you are testing, click the Stop button on the Oracle ADF tab.
The integrated Excel workbook switches to design mode from test mode.
Note:When the end user tries to close the integrated Excel workbook, Microsoft Excel prompts a dialog to save the workbook even if the end user has not modified it after opening it. This behavior is expected because ADF Desktop Integration modifies an integrated Excel workbook each time the end user opens it.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. It's been almost half a year since several new laws kicked in that restrict the sales of firearms in Colorado, and according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the state has already performed more than 350,000 checks this year through last month, which is more than any other year.
"January through November 2013 have passed all of 2012, so we're definitely higher than we were in 2012," said Susan Medina of the CBI.
The December numbers haven't been compiled yet, but just over this past weekend, more than 2,000 criminal background checks were performed in the state. Gun retailers and the CBI attribute this to several things, including the holiday season, as well as a Denver gun show. But in the past we've seen drastic hikes in sales after school shootings, like Sandy Hook.
"After the tragic school shooting when everybody started trying to hoard, then we had a great influx of people trying to purchase firearms," said Brian Langfitt, a licensed dealer and owner of Pawn of Western Colorado.
With restrictions already in place, many worry that more could be on the way.
"Because I think they were afraid that the government was going to step in and regulate a certain segment of the firearms, so what they were doing was rushing to do that."
The new year will ring in more laws in regards to firearm transfers, that will likely increase the record number Colorado saw this year. On January 1st, all private individuals selling to other private individuals will be required to go to a licensed dealer for an authorized background check.
"In the past, a seller in a private transaction just had to have a general knowledge that the person they were selling the firearm to could legally possess the firearm," Medina said. "Now it's a new law and they need to take part in that background check process."
Whether or not the new laws and extended background checks have kept weapons off the street and out of the hands of criminals is still to be determined, but regardless, gun rights advocates still believe the problem is the person and not the piece.
"Blaming a gun for a shooting is like blaming a fork for being fat," said Langfitt.
Statistics from the Colorado Department of Public Safety show that nearly 5,000 background checks were performed on private sales from July. 72 of those were blocked due to prior criminal records.

How the Arab Revolution Is Changing the World
He has become one of the faces of the Arab Spring in Germany. In recent months, Michael Lüders – scholar of Islam, novelist and former Middle East correspondent for the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit – has succeeded, through his incisive, nuanced and carefully differentiating appearances in the media, in giving the general public a better understanding of the dramatic events in the Middle East. His objective was to explain what is happening and render it comprehensible without resorting to generalization.
Now he has collated his observations in his latest book, Tage des Zorns. Die arabische Revolution verändert die Welt (Days of Rage: The Arab Revolution Is Changing the World).
In this work, Lüders takes on the task of guiding us through the whole of the Arab world. He paints a picture of this world in the process of transformation, from the beginnings of the revolution in the transition countries Tunisia and Egypt, through the struggle for liberation in Libya, to the "counter-revolutionary" monarchies of the Gulf such as Saudi Arabia. It is an Arab world whose inflexible regimes are, for the first time in history, being challenged by the societies they govern.
Over the course of the book's fifteen chapters, Lüders devotes his attention to the initial sparks that fuelled the beginnings of the Arab Spring, describes the various protagonists, outlines possible future scenarios and points out internal societal fault-lines and political risks. For the most part, he succeeds in projecting the right mixture of hope for the future and realistic scepticism.
A post-independence time capsule
Despite gaining their independence after the period of colonial rule, Lüders writes that Arab societies were living in a "time capsule" and that the Arab Spring now indicates the peoples' determination to liberate themselves from this vicious circle of mental stagnation and lack of any economic perspective.
Lüders sees in this process the transition from a provincial, feudal society to an urbanized, industrial one. This observation is nothing new, but Lüders does not claim to be reinventing the wheel. He instead seeks to foster our understanding of different views, traumata, self-perceptions and the Arabs' attempt to liberate themselves from decades of social paralysis.
Lüders writes that in many places, the people's desire to comprehend themselves as a nation, as a mature people, was palpable and that in this, the role of Islam was merely a subordinate one: "For the Facebook generation, Islam is not so much an ideology, or even, in some instances, part of everyday religious life; it is more of a lifestyle."
This being the case, he concludes that the heyday of Islamist ideologies has passed. With this interpretation, Lüders counteracts the "spectre of Islamism", so widespread in the West, in a refreshingly undogmatic way. His verdict on the West's dealings with the Arab world is damning: "The Arab revolution has been wrongly formatted. It can't be read by the prevailing 'mental hard drive'; it doesn't correspond to the perceptions and certainties of the majority."
According to Lüders, the Arab Spring has exposed supposed truths as stereotypes and constructed certainties as clichés. The West, he says, started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to export democracy – without success. Now the Arab world is showing that it is capable of getting rid of its unpopular rulers by itself.
The West, Lüders continues, took these authoritarian regimes for granted and accepted them, because it felt that that Arabs needed a firm hand in government. The Western view was, he says, defined by Islamophobic beliefs such as this, which he condemns as a dangerous cliché.
Between consolidation and counter-revolution
Lüders sees the Arab world as being deeply divided. The rich monarchies of the Gulf urged consolidation of the situation and portrayed themselves as "counter-revolutionaries". However, he cites as an alternative example the Gulf emirate of Qatar, which created the most important "agent of modernization" when it founded the Arab satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera in 1996.
Qatar is regarded as a mediator in inter-Arab conflicts: it maintains good relationships with the West, its Arab neighbours and even with Iran. However, Lüders has doubts as to whether this means the emirate can be considered to be a modernizing country, or even a charismatic force for reform. After all, criticism of the Emir is still forbidden in Qatar, and there have been scarcely any moves towards democratization.
Lüders' book does not offer a new perspective on the Arab Spring, but this is not his intention. In concise, journalistic prose, he helps to familiarize the reader with a region in upheaval, highlights opportunities and risks and attempts to mediate some understanding of the collective Arab political consciousness.
His prognoses are terse, but plausible. Even if some of them should prove to be premature or even incorrect, Lüders has dared to analyze a dynamic process that is still in flux. His book makes for a fascinating and illuminating read.

Looks like DECK bounced after it's breakout and pullback from the symmetrical triangle. Here is my chart from last week and one from today.....
DECK 2013-01-31.jpg
DECK 2013-02-04.jpg
Okay, let's look at another potential trade setting up right now.....Michael Kors (KORS).....it has a nice cup and handle formation and yesterday formed a nice support candle on heavy volume - looks to have found a bottom in the handle. A breakout on heavy buying volume above $60....i look for 15-25% gains from cups with handles, assuming the overall market is also cooperating....
KORS 2013-02-05.jpg
And while I'm in a good mood, I'll toss one more into the fire...
watch to see if GLW breaks out and closes above the upper trend line...if so, a nice bounce could be coming
GLW 2013-02-06.jpg
A DECK update....chart looks good...trying to break out above prior resistance around the $43 area now
EDIT: Not a bad looking white candle for today so far considering the overall market is down today
DECK 2013-02-07.jpg
LIMIT check out the chart for LPHI moving after long consolidation
Last edited by Limit5Bass; 02-07-2013 at 05:17 PM.
Bass, You need to take a bow, you are the man. I just looked at KORS and saw it broke out today on earnings, but you predicted it from the charts a week ago. Where do you see it topping? Too late to get in? Too bad I was only watching and not buying. GLW is moving higher but not on high volume, are you still a buyer on a low volume breakout?
I am looking to get in under $61 on KORS
short-term, i would be seller in the near future (prob this week) for GLW, but I do not own shares of GLW. My funds were tied up but I didn't want some others to miss out on a relatively safe 10% gain
EDIT: unless the volume buying picks up in GLW...then possibly the upper end of my target zone could be acheivable
Today is the day to get in on KORS, under $62. It isn't going below $61 as I hoped. See my note on the chart.
KORS 2013-02-14.jpg
DECK update - look at this breakout....after a quick pullback yesterday and this morning, I think it's ready to start again towards my short term target of $50
DECK 2013-02-14.jpg
And last but not least, for now, is a GLW updatte - again, see my notes on the chart - enjoy!!

EPA Awards $250,000 Brownfields Funding to Further Redevelopment in Charles Town, W. Va.
Release Date: 08/15/2014
Contact Information: Bonnie Smith, 215-814-5543, firstname.lastname@example.com
PHILADELPHIA (August 15, 2014) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is announcing its award of $250,000 in additional brownfields funding to support revitalization efforts underway in Charles Town, W. Va. Today's funding, through the Brownfields Revolving Loan program, will allow the city to expand its cleanup activities to the Public Works Yard site which is adjacent to an existing brownfield cleanup at the former Supertane plant.
"Last year, I joined many partners in recognizing this area's successful revitalization efforts which are turning former industrial sites into assets that benefit the community," said EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. "Today's additional funding will help sustain Charles Town's exemplary progress."
In 2012, EPA awarded its first Brownfields Revolving Loan fund to Charles Town for $650,000. Much of these original funds support the clean up and transformation of the former Supertane manufactured gas plant site. The site will become the new Evitts Run Conservancy which will include recreational green space, public parkland, and stormwater runoff control along Evitts Run Creek. Now, Charles Town can expand brownfields cleanup to begin addressing the Public Works Yard site.
EPA's Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund provides recipients -- including state and local governments, municipalities, and regional councils and redevelopment agencies -- loans and sub-grants to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites. When these loans are repaid, those dollars can then be re-loaned to other borrowers providing an ongoing source of capital for brownfields cleanup.
Today's award to Charles Town is one of 31 grantees nationwide who are receiving a total of $11 million in funding to further brownfield cleanup.
Nationwide, there are an estimated 450,000 abandoned and contaminated sites. EPA targets these sites to encourage redevelopment, and help provide the opportunity for productive community use of contaminated properties.
For every brownfields grant dollar spent, EPA's investments have leveraged $17.79 resulting in a total of $21 million leveraged. The funds have enabled the support of 97,500 jobs in cleanup, construction and redevelopment.
