Robin Jones Gunn: Desires of a Writer's Heart
- Tuesday, May 06, 2008
Best-selling author Robin Jones Gunn decided to become a missionary the year she turned 12. God ignited a fire in her to serve him at that tender age, and she wanted to spread the gospel around the world. Little did she know that God would use her stories to save souls.
Gunn has received numerous accolades for her work, and in 2007, won the prestigious Christy Award for her chick lit novel, Sisterchicks in Gondolas!
Upon the recent release of Peculiar Treasures, (which puts her close to 70 published titles) and as she celebrates her 20th anniversary as a novelist, Gunn shares with Crosswalk.com how through her writing, God has honored the youthful desires of her heart.
Did you know as a child that you were a gifted writer?
I don't think I saw it as a gift. I got in trouble a lot while I was growing up for telling stories. I would be called to account—'Did that really happen? Are you telling the truth?' It seemed to me as I was growing up that this ability to always put out a story or spin something in my imagination was not a good thing. I needed to be factual and concise and not go on and on. That gifting was always there, but I didn't see it as a blessing.
I've kept journals for many years. All through high school I wrote handwritten letters to pen pals. Some of those letters would be 36 pages long and my pen pal would say, 'I read your letter to my mom and my girlfriend. You have such an interesting life.' I was embellishing.
What was your first career choice?
I grew up in a Christian home, but when I really came to know Christ was at 12 years old, at summer camp. I had been so motivated by the talks of the missionaries that came to visit camp, I thought that was the best way to serve God—to go to a foreign country and learn another language and translate the Bible into another language that never had God's word before.
When I was 21, I worked at a mission in Europe and helped smuggle Bibles into Eastern Europe. I applied after that to go to Africa with a mission organization. The job opening was to be a laundry supervisor in Kenya. I was turned down because I didn't have the right criteria. That was devastating, at 22, to know that you couldn't even wash clothes in Africa!
Where did God direct you after that?
I married my husband (31 years ago). He was a youth pastor at the time. I loved teenagers and being around them and worked with them in a youth group. Our son is now 26 and our daughter is 22. When our son was just a baby, I had an idea for a children's book, and that's what's started the writing process.
My husband signed me up for a writer's conference (in 1979), because he saw something there. I began writing articles and devotions. I ended up writing 14 children's books. Zondervan is coming out with a reprint of the Mrs. Rosey Posey series at the end of April.
How was the Christy Miller series, your first books for teens, born?
These girls in my youth group challenged me to write books for them, because I was always telling them stories. I really just loved to sit with the girls and listen to them and joke and talk. They would say, 'You understand us and you understand our age group. We really like it when you give us advice, because it helps, it makes sense.'
That's when I began to understand the power of story. By giving a story and using fiction, you can be a smuggler. I knew what it was like to smuggle Bibles into countries where there was resistance. What about into the lives that have resistance to God at the head level? I could go into the heart level and make it real and authentic, because readers get so caught up into characters. The first book, Summer Promise, was published in 1988 (and is now) part of the Christy Miller series volume 1-4.

Your doctor took a biopsy from your stomach to know that you have cancer. He or she may request more tests to learn more about your type of cancer and its specific location. Tests help find the cancer's stage, which helps the doctor decide on the treatment that is likely to be the most effective for you. Some of the tests you may need are imaging tests, which help your doctor see what's happening inside your body. Here are some of the imaging tests you may need to have. They are listed from most common to least common.
If your doctor finds cancer, you may have CT scans of your chest, abdomen, and pelvis to check whether other organs such as your liver, lung, and adrenal glands have any cancer. This helps your doctor know where the cancer is located before deciding on a treatment plan. For example, these pictures help your doctor see if the tumor has spread to nearby lymph nodes. These special X-rays are much more sensitive than a typical X-ray.
To have the test, you lie still on a table as it gradually slides through the center of the CT scanner. The scanner directs a continuous beam of X-rays at your stomach area. A computer uses the data from the X-rays to create many pictures of your stomach, which are put together to create a three-dimensional picture.
A CT scan is painless and noninvasive. You may be asked to hold your breath one or more times during the scan. In some cases, you may be asked to drink a contrast dye four to six hours before the scan. The contrast dye helps to outline the stomach and digestive tract as it gradually passes through your system.
With an ultrasound, sound waves produce images of the inside of your body. A computer processes the sound waves that bounce off of structures. This procedure can be done from the outside of your body. Doctors may also do this internally using an instrument called an endoscope. This is a probe that the doctor inserts through your throat or nose into your stomach. This test gives the doctor an idea of how far cancer has spread into the wall of your stomach and nearby tissues and lymph nodes. It is more accurate than a CT scan or upper endoscopy alone. It gives very specific information for staging of stomach cancer, which helps plan your treatment.
For this test, your doctor first sprays your throat with anesthetic, a solution to numb the area and to prevent discomfort and gagging. You may also receive medication to help you relax. The doctor passes a thin, lighted tube (the endoscope) through your mouth or nose, down the esophagus, and then into your stomach. The endoscope has an ultrasound probe at its tip. The ultrasound images appear on a monitor. It shows exactly what is in front of the endoscope, both inside the stomach and through the stomach's wall into the surrounding areas. This allows the doctor to look beyond the outer surface of your stomach to structures that surround the organ. EUS can detect how far the tumor has grown within or through the walls of your stomach. EUS also can look at lymph nodes surrounding your stomach to see whether tumors have spread to them. In addition, the doctor can pass a thin needle from the endoscope through your stomach wall and into nearby lymph nodes. Then, he or she can withdraw tissue from the lymph node (take a biopsy) and send it to a pathologist to see if cancer cells are present.
Laparoscopic ultrasound also uses sound waves to create pictures. This procedure is best at detecting cancer that has spread to other organs, such as the liver and lymph nodes. It can find small growths that are not easily seen on CT scans. Your surgeon may do this procedure before you have surgery to see if it is possible to remove all the cancer.
This test is similar to an endoscopic ultrasound. The difference is the tool that is used. Plus, this test requires that your stomach be cut to insert the tool. For this test, a surgeon makes small cuts, called incisions, in the wall of your abdomen and inserts special tools through those cuts. One tool is a thick, lighted tube called a laparoscope that contains an ultrasound probe. The surgeon uses this tool to do the ultrasound. The sound waves given off by the ultrasound probe help to detect any growths in areas such as your liver or lymph nodes. If the surgeon finds a growth, he or she can take a biopsy by inserting tools through other cuts. The surgeon sends the tissue sample to a pathologist who can check it for signs of cancer.
MRIs are used to determine if cancer has spread outside of your stomach. For instance, cancer can spread into your lymph nodes. Or it can spread to other areas around the stomach, such as the liver or pancreas. MRIs produce a very clear picture of your stomach.
For this test, you lie still on a table as it passes through a tube-like scanner. The scanner directs a continuous beam of radiofrequency waves at the area being examined. A computer uses the data from the radio waves to create a three-dimensional picture of the inside of your body. You may need more than one set of images. Each one may take two to 15 minutes, so the whole scan may take an hour or more. This test is painless and noninvasive. There are loud grating and thumping noises created during the scan, which some people find annoying. You'll be given earplugs or headphones to wear. If you're claustrophobic, you may take a sedative before this test. A two-way intercom will let you talk to the people controlling the scanner.
This test shows whether cancer has spread to your bones. A bone scan uses X-rays and a radioactive substance to highlight any cancerous cells that might be growing in your bones.
For this test, you're injected with a small amount of radioactive substance. It travels through the bloodstream and collects in areas of abnormal bone growth. You'll lie on a table for about 30 minutes while a machine scans your body for the places the substance has collected. The amount of radioactive material used for this test is small. It isn't harmful to you or your family. If your doctor sees suspicious areas, you may also have an MRI or a CT scan.
This test helps show whether cancer has spread beyond the stomach. A health care provider injects radioactive glucose (sugar) solution into one of your veins. Cancer cells use the glucose more quickly than normal cells do. A scanner creates images that show where the glucose has collected, indicating areas of cancer. PET is in clinical trials to learn if it may be helpful for staging stomach cancer.

Leads Phantoms to Victory
Cal Heeter
turned in a 35-save performance on 36 shots to
lead the Adirondack Phantoms to a 3-1 victory
at the Binghamton Senators on Saturday night.
Brandon Alderson (2nd), Kyle Flanagan (1st) and
Jason Akeson (1st) all lit the lamp in the win.
Heeter was pressed especially hard in the second
period facing an 18-shot barrage from all angles.
He turned aside every one. He made a couple terrific
saves in the closing minutes of the period when
it appeared Binghamton to help Adirondack barely
preserve their 2-1 lead at the time. Just as it
appeared the Senators were very much on the verge
of equalizing, Chris VandeVelde swept one out
of harm's way and then Kris Newbury pushed his
way into the Binghamton zone and somehow battled
through a Binghamton defenseman on him. Newbury's
shot was kicked down by rookie goalie Andrew Hammond
but Jason Akeson trailing on the play was right
there for the rebound and the key goal to give
Adirondack a little more breathing room at 3-1.
For Newbury in his 601st AHL game all-time and
just his second game with the Phantoms, it was
is first career point wearing an Adirondack jersey.
Akeson's first goal of the year came a little
later than perhaps was expected from the third-year
pro who has led the Phantoms in scoring for each
of the past two seasons.
Chris Wideman's slapshot from center-point on
the power play midway through the first period
snuck past Heeter's right skate and went in untouched
to give Binghamton the initial 1-0 advantage.
But it just took 1:09 after that goal for Adirondack
to strike as they took advantage of a strong cycle
in the zone and finally Brandon Alderson found
himself with the puck looking at a wide-open net
while the goalie Hammond was down after an initial
stop. Alderson fading towards the right circle
made it look easy as he flipped the biscuit top-shelf
for his second goal of the season.
Later in the second period, Kyle Flanagan was
right there to deposit his first of the year and
second as a pro after Marcel Noebels was strong
on the boards helping win it away. Matt Mangene
also assisted.
Then came the wild second period which was scramble-city
for the Phantoms at times. Binghamton was generating
big chances and the Phantoms were having difficulty
generating any pressure back on the Senators'
side. But Cal Heeter was able to slam the door
every time.
A drive early in the second period fro Binghamton
was blasted off the crossbar. An apparent goal
early in the third period by David Dziurzynski
that would have made the score 3-2 was waved off
by a quick whistle. The lucky break came due to
Adirondack's own penalty on Matt Mangene. An initial
shot on the delayed penalty was turned aside by
Cal Heeter and even though the goalie never really
had possession, the whistle blowing just an instant
before the goal was scored would prove to benefit
the Phantoms and they kept their two-goal advantage.
Adirondack improved to 2-4-2 with the victory
while Binghamton falls to 5-3-0. The Phantoms
and Senators will have a rematch in the middle
of Adirondack's upcoming three-game homestand
back in Glens Falls.
Join us at the Phantoms Power Hour at Recovery
Sports Grill in Queensbury on Tuesday night at
7:00 with Zack FitzGerald and Tyler Brown. The
show airs live on Q101.7

Wednesday night with a Costume Parade On Ice.

the between-periods parade fronted by our fearless
leader, Dax. Friday night, Adirondack hosts Binghamton

College Station, TX (Sports Network) - A.J. McCarron put on his own Heisman- worthy performance, and Alabama exacted a measure of revenge on Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M with an action-packed 49-42 victory at Kyle Field.
McCarron completed 20-of-29 passes for a career-high 334 yards and four touchdowns, helping the top-ranked Crimson Tide (2-0, 1-0 SEC) gain some payback from last November's 29-22 loss to the Aggies in Tuscaloosa that nearly derailed Alabama's BCS title hopes.
T.J. Yeldon did his part as well for the two-time reigning national champions, who scored 35 straight points after spotting sixth-ranked Texas A&M a 14-0 lead and held off a late comeback attempt. The sophomore back accounted for 149 of Alabama's 234 rushing yards and had a touchdown among his 25 carries.
"The offense did a great job of bailing us out," said Crimson Tide linebacker C.J. Mosley.
Manziel, whose outstanding effort in last year's meeting helped win him the Heisman Trophy, put on another terrific display in the rematch, racking up personal bests of 464 yards and five touchdowns through the air and adding 98 rushing yards. He also threw two costly interceptions, one of which was returned 73 yards for a score by Vinnie Sunseri, that helped seal the Aggies' (2-1, 0-1) fate.
"Well, he played "Johnny-like", that's about the way to put it," Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin remarked. "He, like a number of other players, gave us an opportunity to stay in the ball game. We just couldn't make enough plays to close it out."
Mike Evans also delivered a prolific day for Texas A&M, hauling in seven Manziel throws for a school-record 279 yards, 95 of which came on a touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. Malcome Kennedy had three TD catches -- all in the second half -- in the loss.
Manziel put Alabama at an early double-digit deficit by leading the Aggies to touchdowns on their initial two possessions. It was McCarron's show over the remainder of the first half, however.
The steady senior fired touchdown passes on each of Alabama's next three drives, then orchestrated a mammoth 11-play, 93-yard series near the end of the second quarter that sent the Crimson Tide into the locker room owning a 28-14 advantage.
McCarron hit on 4-of-5 throws totaling 60 yards as Alabama pulled within 14-7 with a 6-play sequence he culminated with a perfectly placed back-shoulder throw to Kevin Norwood that resulted in a 22-yard touchdown with 5:24 left in the first quarter.
He struck again on the Tide's subsequent trip, executing a play-action fake as receiver DeAndrew White got behind the Aggie defense to haul in a 44-yard deep strike that knotted the score 45 seconds into the second quarter.
Manziel answered by moving Texas A&M back into scoring range, highlighted by a 12-yard hookup with Edward Pope in which the Heisman Trophy recipient eluded a rush and heaved a jump ball that his receiver came down with in a crowd.
The Texas A&M field general committed his first major mistake of the afternoon shortly afterward, though, as his off-target fade attempt for Ja'Quay Williams in the end zone was caught by Alabama's Cyrus Jones to halt a drive that had gotten down to the Crimson Tide 4-yard line.
Less than two minutes after Jones' pick, Kenny Bell took a McCarron screen toss near midfield, side-stepped an A&M defender and raced untouched down the left sideline for a 51-yard score that put Alabama in front.
Texas A&M's next offensive set fizzled as well, and the Tide widened the margin by embarking on a backbreaking 11-play, 93-yard jaunt that consumed over six minutes off the game clock.
Yeldon and fellow running back Kenyan Drake did most of the heavy lifting on the drive, combining for 63 yards on eight attempts. Yeldon finished it off with a 4-yard run off right tackle that staked Alabama to a 28-14 lead 45 seconds prior to the intermission.
The Crimson Tide defense then got in the act in the third quarter, with safety Jarrick Williams deflecting Manziel's over-the-middle attempt intended for Evans on A&M's opening drive of the second half. Sunseri snared the ball out of the air and weaved his way downfield for a 73-yard touchdown that put the Aggies at a 21-point disadvantage.
Texas A&M closed the gap some when Manziel hit Kennedy on a slant for a 14- yard score on the ensuing possession. However, Alabama countered with a 10- play, 83-yard march in which most of the damage again came by its punishing running game.
Sixty-one of those yards were produced on the ground, with Yeldon rushing four times for 44 yards and Drake putting the Tide up 42-21 with a 3-yard burst with 4:16 to go in the third quarter.
Kennedy's second touchdown catch of the day, a 12-yarder with 1:40 elapsed in the final period, brought the Aggies within two scores, though Alabama appeared to have the game salted away with around nine minutes to go. However, Yeldon was stripped by Steven Jenkins at the Aggies' 4-yard line to give Texas A&M new life.
Just 38 seconds afterward, Evans caught Manziel's bomb down the near sideline, shook off Jones with a stiff-arm, and outraced the Crimson Tide defense for a startling 95-yard touchdown that brought Texas A&M within 42-35 with just over eight minutes to go.
"In my eyes, Mike Evans is the best receiver in college football," Manziel said. "I see him every day, and every week I get to see how he works against defenders and it's just amazing.'
However, the Aggie defense failed to come up with a much-needed stop on the following drive. Yeldon ripped off two more big runs and McCarron was again on point, completing the 9-play, 65-yard spree with a 5-yard delivery to Jalston Fowler on third down that gave Alabama a two-touchdown cushion once again, this time with only 2:28 left to play.
"T.J. sealed the game for us," said Bell. "He had a costly fumble, but he stuck with it and kept running."
Manziel and Kennedy connected for another touchdown, this one a 4-yarder with 15 seconds remaining, but the Aggies couldn't recover the resulting onside kick.
The Aggies had the Crimson Tide on their heels early on, with Manziel connecting with Evans on two long pass plays on the game's opening drive, the last a 35-yard completion to the Alabama 5. Three plays later, Manziel found tight end Cameron Clear from a yard out to give A&M a 7-0 edge less than three minutes in.
Evans made his mark on the Aggies' next series as well, burning Jones for a 34-yard gain to the 1-yard line before Ben Malena punched it in midway through the first quarter to cap a 5-play, 59-yard drive.

FORT PIERCE - At the Oct. 15 Fort Pierce City Commission meeting, commissioners voted to unanimously waived collecting impact fees for one year in an attempt to stimulate development within city limits.
The decision came after a discussion questioning the effectiveness of the action.
Impact fees are government imposed on new developments to offset the costs associated with that development, such as parks or roads.
Since development has slowed down, the city has only collected approximately $440,000 since 2009 in impact fees.
"I'm someone who has pushed the issue," said Mayor Bob Benton, who had discussed the issue earlier in the year at other meetings. "I think the majority of (the impact fees) were brought in by residential developments, instead of businesses. It's something we need to try as a way to stimulate business."
But while the idea might sound good, city staff did not find any evidence suspending the fees increased building permit activity in other areas of the state.
"Changes to the existing interlocal agreements and to the city's comprehensive plan will be needed," said Matthew Margotta, the city's director of planning.
Some commissioners were hesitant to waive the fees.
"I'm not convinced by abating any impact fees we'll have people rushing to build," said Commissioner Tom Perona, who said that if fees were waived, he would like to see a time frame to be able to track the results.
"I will always give a shot to try things out that can at least show some effort by the city to try to build a little economic boost."
Another issue, however, is that only the city can waive its impact fees. A business will still be responsible for any county impact fees that might be accessed.
The county considered suspending impact fees in 2009 and 2010, but did not implement a moratorium; instead, it used other economic development incentives to try to entice businesses to the area.
Commissioner Edward Becht also pointed out impact fees help pay for important city projects.
When impact fees are collected in the city, the money goes into a restricted fund that allocates the money toward specific projects.
"If it hadn't been for impact fees, the PAL Park would never have been built," Commissioner Becht said.
Impact fees also went to help pay a portion of the Melody Lane pier, the recreational trails grant, the new bike racks at city hall and downtown Fort Pierce and the pedestrian bridge at Garden Avenue.
Mr. Margotta told the commissioners that funding for these projects would have to be found elsewhere.
"Alternate funding sources will need to be identified," he said.
At that, the commissioners voted to waive the impact fees for one year, and requested Mr. Margotta to come back to the commission with a decision in the form of an ordinance, but also with ideas for funding city projects in the future.

I made this for my mother's day brunch and got rave reviews. My moms have been bragging to friends since. They even took pictures. The best part is it tasted as good as it looks and the cucumber was easier than I expected. It stands right up on its own. We substituted feta for bleu-cheese for some.

This recipe is great: ease, taste, and presentation excel. Agree with another reviewer, my cukes did not make big enough rings either, but the slices are so moist they hold up well. Made with the dressing as described and got rave reviews on that too. Very pretty and tasty too.
carmelita Posted: 09/09/10
This salad is so impressive. It's rather tasty, too. Was not difficult, just a little time required to make it look as pretty as possible - worth the effort for a nice dinner party you want to make an impression for.
Gailzer Posted: 04/13/09
I made this for 9 people. They loved it! I waited till the end to add the Blue Cheese (5 with, 4 without). Everyone said it was a great presentation and looked so fancy. Definite Do Again!

bazz looking big time.........
our boy sheed looking silky.....and smart
I haven't seen a thread for this, so I thought I'd start one.
bazz looking big time.........
our boy sheed looking silky.....and smart
"Either we're going down, or they are....... Kirk out!"
Information so far doesnt sound good on any of the three recruits. I hope we can pull at least one and add a transfer. Still think Mason comes back. Let's cross our fingers.....
Initial thoughts on the first half (focused on Duke targets and ACC guys):
Sulaimon: He reminds me a lot of Nolan Smith, though he's a bit taller. He's REALLY quick, showed good explosiveness, good ballhandling, and unselfishness (rare in these games). And oh boy does he have range. He hit a 3 from the NBA line and then hit one from even further out. It's hard to say in an exhibition, but he seems faster and more explosive than Cook or Rivers, and though he probably doesn't have their dribble skills he looked pretty comfortable attacking off the dribble. He's noticeably more involved than either Cook or Gbinije was in last year's game.
Muhammad: He was clearly the most dominant player in the first half. He threw down some monster dunks, hit a three, and just seemed at ease out there. Clearly a physical specimen and it is easy to see why he's the #1 or #2 recruit in the country. Strong, athletic, tenacious. There's no doubt he'll be an impact player right away.
Parker: He's big and doughy. Definitely not in elite shape. But you can see the touch around the basket. He had a nice reverse layup on a fast break that was surprisingly smooth. He got several offensive rebounds. He's slow and not a leaper, but he can eat up space. It's hard to tell how he'll translate to college, but he's got a Reggie Johnson type of game (below the rim but crafty and big).
Jefferson: He's super skinny. Definitely won't be a physical PF. I do wonder how effective he'll be right away at the PF in college. He had no post up plays. At first I thought he was the SF when he and Poythress were in together, as Poythress is noticeably bigger and Jefferson was staying on the perimeter. Had a mechanical jumpshot that went in from 19 feet and showed a slick move to the basket in which he unfortunately lost the ball going up. I didn't come away overly impressed with anything he did like I did with Sulaimon, Parker, and (especially) Muhammad. I'd guess he'd be a backup next year, but again it's not always easy to tell from these games.
Purvis (NC State): He's going to start right away and he's going to be pretty darn good. The comparisons to Dwyane Wade are apparent. Not that he's that good, but he's got that kind of game. He could pair very nicely with Lorenzo Brown giving NC State a very tall, very athletic, very good ballhandling pair of guards.
Lewis (NC State): He's little (I hate to say that because he's probably my height), but he's got game. Confident on the dribble and has a good eye for the pass. Because of his height and slight frame, I'd expect him to back up Brown next year in what may very well be the best backcourt in the ACC.
Warren (NC State): He's a solidly built 3 with good athleticism. Definitely seemed like an off-ball player, which could work well with Brown/Purvis/Lewis to set him up. He'll be a nice change of pace from Scott Wood with his strength and athleticism. Seems more in the Nate James mold (though obviously not as badass).
Note: I really really like what State's perimeter looks like. They could start 6'4", 6'5", 6'5" with 5'11" and 6'6" off the bench. If Leslie stays, that's an incredibly talented and well-matched team.
Paige: Meh. Didn't do much noteworthy. Got a couple of bunny assists on fast breaks. Seemed quick but not a standout tonight so far. Though Marshall didn't stand out either, so take these games for what they're worth.
Liking what I see from Rasheed so far. He's hit a couple 3's. He takes it to the basket in traffic. Looks very comparable to Nolan Smith from what I can tell. I don't think this kid will have a problem finding a productive role at Duke.
"Just be you. You is Enough."
Sulaimon is 3-4 on 3-pointers by my count, but I admit I've walked away from the TV briefly a couple of times. I agree his jumper is smooth and he has demonstrated both speed and ball handling ability in this game. He should develop into a real talent at Duke.
Bob Green
United States Navy (Retired)
Early in the second half, Sulaimon showed even more evidence that he'll be ready to contribute. He is very quick. I'm glad jipops also sees Nolan Smith in his game, because that was my immediate image. He's smooth, super quick, explosive, and can really shoot. I'm really excited about him. He's been the second or third most impressive player so far (Muhammad and maybe Anderson have been more impressive).
Jefferson just showed a nice up and under move to shake a defender and get a layup. He's more Lance Thomas than CJ Leslie in terms of athleticism. But he's got good ballhandling skills and decent range for a PF.
Paige has made a couple of nice passes. I don't see Marshall in him, but he's done a bit more in this half worthy of note.
Congrats to Captains Amile Jefferson & Quinn Cook. Go lead this team to nets and hardware fellas!
Parker is making his presence felt a bit more in the second half. He's a pretty good offensive rebounder. Good hands and good touch around the basket. The only knock I have is that he's chubby and struggles to get up and down the court. The Reggie Johnson comp seems more and more apt. Hopefully he has Johnson's motor though.
The game has degenerated into the typical back and forth, no defense being played affair in the 2nd half. There was actually some defense played during the first 20 minutes.
Bob Green
United States Navy (Retired)
In terms of the PG in this game, I think Ferrell has been the most impressive. The other guys have had some moments. Paige is more ready than Lewis. I just don't see Marshall, Lawson, or Felton from him (yet).
Sulaimon just had another steal and delivered a pass for an easy bucket so he earned an assist.
Bob Green
United States Navy (Retired)
And yes, I'd be thrilled with a Reggie Johnson on our roster. I wasn't too thrilled about him before tonight. He's growing on me. I'm sold on Sulaimon and Muhammad. Jefferson hasn't wowed me. Seems like a guy who'd sit most of the time next year and contribute more as a sophomore/junior/senior.
Nice to see Sulaimon and Muhammad play together. A backcourt of Sulaimon, Curry, Muhammad would look REALLY nice.
Did I mention I'm excited about Sulaimon? Because I am. He looks really good.
Sulaimon just scored a traditional 3-point play on a backdoor cut. He looks very good. Amile Jefferson appears to be a versatile player so if he picks Duke he could be a player capable of playing multiple positions once he matures.
Bob Green
United States Navy (Retired)
Sulaimon plays every play. Alert O and D, all-around skills, smart smarts, good handle, passer, shooter.
I like Jefferson a lot, maybe because I think we have a slightly better shot at getting him than Muhammad or Parker. Jefferson isn't as unusual as is Kyle Anderson, whom Duke was interested in at one point [and I'd like to know why that faded....]; but Jefferson is also very active, pretty good handle, alert like Sulaimon. Hope he picks Duke.

Since its inception in 1988, the Developmental Core has been an integral part of the UAB CFAR. The goal of the Developmental Core is to act as a mentoring, innovation and research integration platform that serves the CFAR members. As such, the Developmental Core is the primary steering tool for the CFAR to translate its vision into actual research. This is achieved by (i) a strong emphasis on mentoring of junior investigators, (ii) the initiation of targeted research collaborations through pilot awards and (iii), in conjunction with UAB Departments, the recruitment of faculty that support the vision of the CFAR. The Developmental Core provides assistance, mentoring and funding to junior faculty and investigators new to the HIV/AIDS. Through the CFAR Developmental Grant and mentoring process the Developmental Core provides scientific feedback on proposed research programs to all investigators from experienced faculty. In addition, the Developmental core keeps UAB CFAR members informed of the latest areas of emphasis put forth by the NIH and other funding opportunities. Doing so not only ensures that UAB investigators remain relevant in the emerging areas of HIV research but also enables young investigators to become established in pertinent investigations critical to the future of the field.

Optimal mentoring of young students and faculty is a common goal of a number of UAB organizations. CFAR is currently developing a collaborative program with the UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) and the Department of Medicine to leverage the existing mentoring resources and programming that provides direct mentoring of new scientists.
The CFAR Mentoring Program will be open to all graduate/medical students, residents, post-docs/fellows and new faculty (Instructors and Assistant Professors) who are working in the area of HIV at UAB. The services provided will include matching mentors with mentees and conflict resolution services, as needed. Mentees will be matched with a research mentor as well as a career mentor. The roles of career mentors will differ in that the research mentor is expected to have expertise within their research area while the career mentor may not be matched based upon similar clinical or research interest but would rather serve as someone who provides guidance in career development (e.g., obtaining the first faculty position, contract negotiation, finding career/life balance, etc.).
The UAB CCTS has developed mentoring tools that provide both mentors and mentees at UAB with access to guidance and tools such as mentoring contracts (viewable on CCTS Training Academy website: www.uab.edu/ccts). We use these mentoring tools, as well as other pertinent resources to facilitate mentoring at UAB as we develop this new resource.

"I guess it's time for me to explain how I found you," Kevin said. "I bugged your shoes, Dr. Penninger."From the paper:
"You put listening devices into my shoes?"
"Yeah. Nothing to it. And I wasn't the only guy on the job, either. Your shoes had six other bugs planted inside the heels and seams. Very nice devices, too--I figured them to be planted by players a lot heavier than I am. I could have removed them all, but I figured ... hey, this many? There must be some kind of gentlemen's agreement going on here. I'll do better if I just stand in line."
Internet voting exposes what might otherwise be a small, local race of little global significance to attackers from around the globe, who may act for a wide range of reasons varying from politics to financial gain to sheer malice. In addition to compromising the central voting server as we did, attackers can launch denial-of-service attacks aimed at disrupting the election, they can redirect voters to fake voting sites, and they can conduct widespread attacks on voters' client machines. These threats correspond to some of the most difficult unsolved problems in Internet security and are unlikely to be overcome soon.Perhaps the most entertaining detail in the paper:
We found a pair of webcams on the DVBM network — both publicly accessible without any password — that showed views of the server room that housed the pilot. As shown in Figure 4, one camera pointed at the entrance to the room, and we were able to observe several people enter and leave, including a security guard, several officials, and IT staff. The second camera was directed at a rack of servers.Includes before-and-after images from the webcams.
These webcams may have been intended to increase security by allowing remote surveillance of the server room, but in practice, since they were unsecured, they had the potential to leak information that would be extremely useful to attackers. Malicious intruders viewing the cameras could learn which server architectures were deployed, identify individuals with access to the facility in order to mount social engineering attacks, and learn the pattern of security patrols in the server room. We used them to gauge whether the network administrators had discovered our attacks — when they did, their body language became noticeably more agitated.
Slap*Happy: "It's easier to put an audited security infrastructure in place than to make sure the incumbents overseeing the vote aren't ballot-stuffing."No, no, a thousand times no.
And the best reasons have nothing to do with computer security. If someone's voting online, you have no way of telling if someone else is standing behind them with a baseball bat.No different then any other vote by mail system. Not that security is easy but these guys didn't even know the first thing about running a secure setup.
Uh, what? By what method could you conduct vote by mail that would prevent that situation? (Or, alternatively, paying people to vote a certain way, and verify with them that the vote was cast as you wanted.)oneswellfoop: "If someone's filling out an Absentee Ballot, you have no way of telling if someone else is standing behind them with a baseball bat."Then you're doing voting by mail wrong. The solution isn't to move to internet voting.
But as most of the researchers are aware, the real problem isn't one of inadvertent flaws in the system. The problem is that most of these systems are purposefully designed to be black-box systems with no proper paper trail.I actually think they were just completely incompetent. If they had been competently programmed then exploits could have been a little more subtle and hard to detect. If you wanted to steal elections, it would make more sense to build a system that appeared to be hyper-secure, but actually had some hidden system that appeared innocuous that would let you change votes.
delmoi: "By what method could you conduct vote by mail that would prevent that situation?"If it's important to you to guarantee that there is no coercion (and it should be), you don't allow unsupervised mail voting. Allow early voting by going to a civic centre or whatnot where you can fill in your ballot in private, seal it and have them mail it to wherever it needs to go. People with a legitimate excuse can receive a visit from a polling official who will accept the filled-in ballot*.
russm: "brokkr - if I'm traveling outside my home country, and the nearest Australian embassy or high commission is 2 days travel away, am I disenfranchised?"Yes. I fail to see this should somehow be a major problem.
Johann Georg Faust: "Sorry if I'm prejudging anyone, but when you blindly resist change you're also refusing to progress."You describe a severely mismanaged voting system, and your answer is to either throw technology at or circumvent it, rather than fix the problem?

Found October 19, 2012 on College Football Section:
The Vanderbilt Commodores were scheduled to play Ohio State in 2013 at Ohio State on August 31st, but have since cancelled the game with the Buckeyes. The SEC released it's 2013 schedule and Vanderbilt is scheduled to play Ole Miss on August 31st, which would obviously conflict with the Ohio State game and since the SEC offices rule all, the game with Ohio State had to be cancelled. Not only did Vandy drop the Ohio State game though, they also cancelled a series with Northwestern that was scheduled for 2013 and 2014. SEC?

First off Robert let me thank you very much for the work you have done as treasurer of CCDG and getting the financial books into shape since you have taken over. Well done.
If I am not mistaken at March meeting last year after considerable discussion of number of board members as voted on by the membership (last time we had a vote) that section 3.03 you refer to was amended to 7 board members (not multiple choice). It was passed and approved that way, not as from 3-15 on the choice of the remaing board members. That copy of amended bylaws is what I have been asking to be made public for a year now. Never happened. I also do not ever recall even a board vote after dismissing 2 members to amend that section again to the 5 it is now (Those positions should have been open to new members interested on and then approved by current board members.. I feel that this has not been handled very well and is still not as voted on and intended by membership a year ago.
Thank you for letting me voice my opinion on this subject.
This is why this club will never be as great as they wish to be. The same people in office that started this mess and they don't aspire to make the necessary changes to make CCDG the club it could be.
holy **** me and billdo agree ...on one thing. CCDG let all the members be involved in "there" club and "you maybe surprised what people have to offer if given the chance". instead of some ego driven pricks picken and choosen - i quote your prez- "those that matter"

Looking for something colorful or breathtaking for your Geekcave? Some new Boba Fett artwork have made their way onto the Internet this past week.
It's not too often limited edition prints are made at affordable prices, so it's not shocker that Tom Hodges' "Boba and his Bounty" sold out pretty fast. In fact, as you read this, the item has been removed from his etsy page – sold out before 8 a.m. two days ago.
If you missed out on Hodges' piece, another affordable, but fantastic piece is available for pre-order at EntertainmentEarth.com. "Luke To The Rescue," is a hand-numbered limited edition of 95 pieces, measuring 19 inches tall by 13 inches wide and available for $89.
The piece illustrates Luke's heroic scene on the Desert Skiff in Return of the Jedi, as he faces off against Boba Fett during his rescue mission. The artist, James Silvani, has a unique and fresh approach to his artwork – fantastic for your child's room or hanging over your collection of animated style Star Wars toys.
Subscribers to "Star Wars Insider" should have already received their copy of issue #143. If you don't subscribe, be sure to pick it up to check out the Boba Fett snippets scattered throughout the issue.
Within the first few pages of the issue, we get a look at Boba Fett-centered artwork being featured at Celebration Europe. Two of the three pieces highlighted are the amazing paintings by Joe Corroney and Brian Rood, which have already made heavy rounds on the Internet. Corroney comments on his desire to show Fett and Slave Leia in an Expanded Universe type way, and Rood expresses his motivation to return Boba Fett to Kamino.
One of the coolest features in this issue is short interviews from the characters who appeared in Return of the Jedi at Jabba's Palace. Jeremy Bulloch comments on his interactions during filming with the performer inside Jabba's tail – and how he tried to make the most out of every scene, consciously thinking, what can he do in this scene to make Boba Fett look cool? What really got my attention though, was the photo used for Bulloch's interview – showing Boba Fett in Jabba's Palace – standing next to Bossk.
The issue also takes a closer look at the Comic Con exclusive, featuring Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite, the upcoming book, The Bounty Hunter Code, and a information on the upcoming "Agent of the Empire: Hard Targets" trade paperback.

More batteries
I have a 1980 '37. I have added 3 group 27 batteries to the original one group 27 and one group 24 (under the galley step). One of the batteries is located in the storage area under the starboard saloon seat. The second is located in a compartment created by opening up the area under the galley stove. The third is in a shelf in the forward hanging locker. The first two batteries are connected to a typical 1,2,& all switch with the common output connected to the common pole of the original battery switch. The third is wired in parallel with the original #2 battery and essentially forms a single battery as it has no separate switch. The battery in the forward hanging locker is also the primary battery for my anchor windlass. My system is not bullet proof. It does allow each battery to be isolated from the system if desired by manually setting the switches.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Danger: Diet Disaster Area Ahead!
Family Frustration continued...
Also, remember not to bite off more than you can chew.
''We had this big family reunion and there were people there we hadn't seen in a long time, and everyone wanted you to try just a little bit, which was tough,'' says Neuman. ''I made sure if I tried something, it was just a tiny bit -- not a normal portion size -- just to make them happy. So I focused on the salads and drank plenty of water. The good news was, I was the center of attention because I had lost so much weight.'' Some families, though, may see thinness as a threat or even a sign of ill health. In that case, it may be best not to spill too much about your weight loss plans.
''Don't tell your family you are trying to lose weight,'' Mitchell tells WebMD. ''If you tell them that, they'll start in with "you don't need to lose weight, you're too thin -- eat!'''
Workplace Woes
Disaster Area: Long days and late nights at the office, especially when co-workers so nicely leave sweets out on their desks for all to enjoy.
''The office is conducive to snacking,'' says Hall. ''From birthday parties, to doughnuts in the morning at a meeting, to snacks on someone's desk, people eat these foods and they're forgotten calories, but really, they're adding up.''
Coping Strategies: ''It's important to recognize that just because it's someone's birthday at the office doesn't mean you have to eat cake,'' says Hall. ''Or if you really want to have cake or a doughnut, share it with someone. Or step up to plan the event, and offer healthier choices.''
And be sure to plan ahead so you're prepared when hunger strikes during the workday.
''Fill your pantry and fridge with a multitude of snacks: grapes, cherries, cheese, raisins, trail mix, or healthy granola bars,'' says Mitchell. ''Every day you can grab two or three snacks'' from your supply.
''That way at 5:30 when you are starting to get hungry for dinner but you have a long night in front of you, you have healthy snacks to take the edge off,'' she says.
Says Neuman: ''I always have a small bag of fruit and nuts at my desk so if I'm hungry, I have something healthy to snack on. I also always make sure I drink plenty of water at work.''

Salem police arrest 3 for Home Depot theft, drugs
Richard Ball, 23, of Kingston (left), Nicholas Messina, 21, of Haverhill, Mass. and Yris Fraden, 21, of Bradford, Mass. were arrested by Salem police. (COURTESY)
Richard Ball, 23, of Kingston was charged with felony theft and resisting arrest shortly after police were called to the Route 28 store on Wednesday.
Nicholas Messina, 21, of Haverhill, Mass., and Yris Fraden, 21, of Bradford, Mass. were also arrested on a variety of charges. Police pulled over the silver Audi they were traveling in near the area of 310 Main St.
All three suspects are being held on bail pending their arraignments in 10th Circuit Court in Salem.
Police responded to a call from the Home Depot store for a report of several shoplifters running from the store. Police were advised one man was running across a nearby plaza, while another fled in a car. Responding officers found the man on foot inside a McDonald's restaurant nearby and took him into custody.
Another officer spotted a car matching the description of a vehicle that fled the scene driving down Main Street, according to police. A brief investigation resulted in the driver and passenger being taken into custody, police said.
Ball and Messina had approximately $400 worth of data boards from the store, according to police.
Messina is charged with willful concealment and held on $600 bail. Fraden was charged with possession of a controlled drug, resisting arrest, driving after revocation and accomplice to theft.

The Gaussian Blurred Line Of Photoshop In Advertising
See what i did there?
See what i did there?
Hey Chion, thanks for the opportunity to be on the show!
I just wanted to follow up by say, that as a retoucher, I think that it's incredibly important for parents and educators to have discussions about images in magazines and advertising and reality. Understanding how produced the images we see everywhere are, starting with the basics of a fashion shoot: Professionally lit with the model's features in mind (not an on camera flash,) the models have an hour of professional make-up, the models are shot from their best angle(s), and a more flattering lens (i.e.: not the wider angler lens on your smart phone or point and shoot,) on the camera. Also, the models are comfortable in front of the camera (most of us aren't and it shows.) Then add the retouching and you have a complete fiction, but one, that if applied to you or me would "elevate" how we look to a different level.
We've become a society that is less satisfied with ourselves and who we are, because we want to be that idealized retouched image, and the constant bombardment of images of all kinds makes it harder to separate reality and retouching. A continuos dialogue needs to be had with our youth (male and female,) about being comfortable in their own skins.
Great show, thanks again to you and Colin for letting me be a part of it.

Today, I'm posting the same song as performed by two completely different folk musicians. Listen to both versions, then place your vote in the comments area. The musician with the least votes will be hunted down and tortured beyond their wildest nightmares, as is customary in a FolkOff. Also, for the sake of this post, please pretend that Madeleine Peyroux can be considered a folk musician, as doing so was the only way I could use the term "FolkOff."
Madeleine Peyroux - You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Play)
Mary Lou Lord - You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Play)
I'd like to give a shout-out to Mary Lou Lord for recording this entire album in an NYC subway station (you can hear a train at 3:32). I'd like to give a shout-out to Madeleine Peyroux for having such great, pissed-off-looking press photos.
