Non-conference baseball from Page Stadium
Jason Gill enters his sixth year at the helm of the LMU baseball program in 2014. His incoming class for this season was tabbed as the 34th-best in the nation according to Collegiate Baseball. LMU was just one of four non-BCS schools to make the list, and just one of five private schools lauded. The class was also tied for the best in the West Coast Conference.
The 2013 season saw the Lions finish with a 24-27 overall record, including a 12-12 mark in the WCC. Gill's arsenal of talented pitchers finished the year with an LMU record 3.17 ERA, led by a trio of All-WCC selections in right-handers Colin Welmon, Aaron Griffin and Patrick McGrath (honorable mention). The Lions also featured the WCC Defensive Player of the Year in Colton Plaia and honorable mention selections in David Edwards, Zac Fujimoto and Cullen Mahoney.
Gill led the baseball program to an even 27-27 overall record and a 14-10 mark in the WCC during the 2012 season. The conference record saw the Lions finish tied for third. In a year that saw the Lions earn the 23rd spot in Baseball America's Top-25 recruiting classes, Gill helped his players to six All-WCC selections at the end of the season, including freshmen Trevor Megill and Colin Welmon as staples of the class. Reaching a coaching milestone, Gill earned his 100th career victory on April 20, 2012, a 5-3 victory over Portland.
At the conclusion of the 2012 campaign, Gill spent the summer of 2012 serving as an assistant coach for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, guiding the squad to a 12-5 record and a bronze medal after finishing 5-2 at Honkbal Week hosted at Pim Mulier Stadium in the Netherlands.
In 2011, Gill guided the Lions to their best overall record since 2004, posting a mark of 30-25. The Lions finished 11-10 in the West Coast Conference, earning a tie for third overall. The Lions began the year with a 7-1 record and closed the year by winning four of its last five games. Gill and his coaching staff also guided the LMU pitching staff to a 3.25 team ERA in 2011. The Lions placed five players on All-Conference teams, while four were taken in the MLB draft, including three in the first 12 rounds for the first time since 2005.
The Lions finished the 2010 season with a 23-33 overall record and a 5-16 mark in the WCC, placing eighth in the conference. Gill did lead his team to a series sweep over perennial powerhouse Cal State Fullerton, including a victory over then-No. 9 Fullerton on May 18, and a series victory over Fresno State on the road. The 2010 season also culminated in the first All-American selection under Gill as a Head Coach, as 2010 West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year Matt Lowenstein was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and Ping!Baseball.
LMU finished in second place in the WCC in 2009 after posting a 30-29 overall record and a 13-8 mark in conference play to earn a spot in the WCC Championship Series. The Lions' 8-2 start in 2009 was the best since the 1988 season, and it was also the best start over the first 10 games for a first-year skipper in LMU program history. Gill's 2009 squad finished the year with a 9-2 record against ranked opponents, including recording a four-game sweep of then-defending National Champion Fresno State and a crucial three-game sweep over WCC-foe San Diego. Proving they can play with any team in Southern California, widely considered one of the toughest regions in the country, LMU also knocked-off perennial powerhouses, then-No. 5 UC Irvine and sixth-ranked Cal State Fullerton, in 2009. Although those victories were highlights for LMU players and fans alike, they were likely even bigger for Gill, as he coached at both programs after taking the field as a player for the Titans in 1994.
For the four years preceding his start as LMU's seventh skipper in program history, Gill worked under head coach George Horton at Oregon and Cal State Fullerton, serving as an infield coach, recruiting coordinator and as a primary hitting instructor. Gill is no stranger to starting a program from the ground up, taking on the task twice, most recently at the University of Oregon. Gill was Horton's first hire as both men left Cal State Fullerton to begin the reconstruction of the Duck baseball program in 2007. Always considered one of the best recruiters in college baseball, Gill's 2007 recruiting class was ranked in the top-10 in the nation by both Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America.
In the three years preceding the move to Eugene, Ore., the Titans made it to Omaha and the College World Series twice, won two Big West Conference titles and had 35 players drafted. The three-year stint under Horton was Gill's second on the Fullerton coaching staff, having started his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant for legendary skipper, and Division I baseball's all-time winningest coach, Augie Garrido. In that first term, Gill served essential roles on both the 1995 National Championship and 1996 Fullerton squads.
Before his return to Fullerton, Gill spent three seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for UC Irvine, as the coaching staff resurrected the baseball program from extinction. After just three years of developing the program, Gill helped lead UCI to a NCAA Regional in 2004.
Furthering his reputation as a standout recruiter, the Anteaters' 2002 recruiting class was ranked eighth in the country by Baseball America, with the following two classes among Collegiate Baseball's top-30. Overall, Gill has served as a collegiate recruiting coordinator directly for seven years, recording six recruiting classes in the top-30 and two in the top-10 over that span.
Prior to UCI, Gill was an assistant coach at Loyola Marymount where he helped guide the Lions to their most recent WCC titles and playoff berths in 1999 and 2000. Over that two-year span, nine LMU players moved on to professional baseball. Perhaps the most successful draft year in LMU history, Gill watched six of his Lion ballplayers sign professional contracts in 2000, including one player in each of the first three rounds.
Coach Gill also served two years as an assistant coach at Nevada in 1997 and 1998. While there, the Wolfpack made the postseason for just the second time in school history. Serving as the team's hitting coach and working closely with the infielders, Gill guided the 1997 team to nine offensive team records at Nevada. In addition, his tutelage of the infielders was instrumental in placing Nevada first in the country in double plays in both seasons.
Before embarking on his coaching career, Gill played one year at Cal State Fullerton, hitting .345, scoring 28 runs and starting 43 games at third base as a senior. That year, the All-Big West Conference infielder helped the Titans to a 47-16 overall record and a College World Series berth. Gill started his collegiate career playing two seasons at Cuesta College before playing his junior campaign at Cal State Dominguez Hills.
Overall, Coach Gill has been to Omaha four times as a player and a coach. In addition, he has been to the postseason a total of nine times, coached four Conference Players of the Year, including three infielders directly under his guidance, and been a part of six Conference Championships.
A local product who prepped at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif., Gill received his bachelor's degree from Cal State Fullerton in kinesiology in 1996. Gill, who was born on April 7, 1970, lives with his wife, Kacey, and his son, Shane.

In Touch - June 26, 2008
Thursday, June 26, 2008 - Every Parent's Responsibility - Ephesians 6:4
God commands us to train sons and daughters in His way. This involves expressing love to our children and living out our faith. This will show our children our relationship with the Father.
Training our children also has other essential components. First are words and actions. Children hear what we say and watch what we do. Beware of teaching them with words while demonstrating something different with your life. For example, a father might tell his five-year-old not to hurt a classmate's feelings. If this man acts critical toward his wife, the child will be confused. When words and actions contradict, kids usually imitate the worst behavior.
The next component for training our children involves our understanding of each child. Everyone is unique from birth. As parents, we're responsible to know each child's distinctiveness and train accordingly. Our role is to become an expert about what motivates, frustrates, and instructs kids individually.
Finally, when it comes to training our children have a plan of action. Rearing a child the way God intends involves a purposeful plan. Some parts may be "programmed," like a scheduled daily prayer time. Other aspects may include being alert to "teachable moments." For example, when a situation comes up in your child's life, a parent can say, "I wonder what God would think about this." Parents and children can then look for the answers in His Word.
Excuses like busyness or lack of spiritual knowledge are unacceptable. When God tells us to do something, we should obey, even if it requires sacrifice. All parents can find time to love their kids and teach them to walk as the Lord commands.

Why didn't you come to me in the first place?
Because John can't ever know that I lied to him. It would break him and I would lose him forever. And Sherlock, I will never let that happen.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia, one of Boston's nine arbitration eligible players*, has been secured for the 2013 season. Salty and and Sox avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.5 million deal on Thursday, which means for now Boston will have three catchers – Saltalamacchia, David Ross and Ryan Lavarnway.
Salty can help his case this year and bolster his value for a longer-term stay in Boston by doing three things:
1. Cut down on his strikeouts. In 2012 Salty struck out a career high 139 times in 448 plate appearances, nearly 30 percent of his at bats.
2. Going hand-in-hand with the above stat, find a way to break the long hitting droughts that plagued him last year and contributed to a limp slash line of .222/.288/.454/.742.
3. Work on becoming a better defensive catchers. A good base stealer can pretty much run at will on him.
To his credit, when Salty was in a groove last year he had some pop, hitting 25 homers, by far his best homer numbers in his six-year major league career.
Platooning with Ross and/or Lavarnway – personally, I think Ross will be Boston's regular backup catcher, especially if he has a solid spring – should keep Salty fresh and perhaps allow him to exercise more plate discipline and ultimately provide more value to the club.
* Boston's eight remaining arbitration eligible players are right-handers pitchers Alfredo Aceves, Andrew Bailey, Daniel Bard, and Joel Hanrahan, left-handers Craig Breslow, Andrew Miller and Franklin Morales, and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.

Chesterton Humbert's Somerley Park International Horse Trials.
Regrettably due to the continuous rainfall over the past few months and in recent days, the Organisers of Somerley Park Horse Trials scheduled for 25 – 26 March have made the difficult decision to cancel the Event.
Organiser Suzannah Cotterill commented: "The water levels at Somerley Park have reached such a point that we cannot access the ground to finish event preparations which unfortunately leaves us with no option other than to cancel.
"The hope is by cancelling now, Members will be able to re-route and make alternative competition plans." Members will be refunded in full in the coming weeks.
BE Sport Operations Manager Chris Farr added: "It is such a pity to cancel Somerley. We are currently exploring the viability of rescheduling Somerley later in the calendar with the Organisers."
MacMillan Cancer Support had been nominated as Somerley's 2014 charity in memory of the late Adele Schardt who organised the Event many years; for those who would like to donate please visit www.macmillanlocalorg/donate.php
The event, organised by Suzie Cotterill, runs on the beautiful park by kind permission of Lord Somerton
Somerley Park runs on the magnificent Somerley Estate near Ringwood, Hampshire. Car access is from A338. Parking is easy. There will be a number of countryside trade stands with a wide variety of products on offer and a large public marquee with quality catering. Somerley Park horse trials is set in beautiful parkland with marvellous viewing; it is provides an exciting day out in the country for the whole family, whether you like horses or not!
Admission is £10 per car (to include programme subject to availability)

Government watchdog Helen Burns Sharp spent more than $77,000, including tens of thousands of dollars out of her retirement account, fighting what she sees as a pattern of secret — and therefore illegal — decisions by a city board.
Chattanooga finally has a public report card -- or at least part of one.
If all goes as planned, Chattanooga's first emergency family shelter for men, women and children will open in mid-December.
A former Chattanooga Industrial Development Board chairman says the City Council's recent move to take more responsibility for the development board doesn't go far enough.
Leann Crane does not care how UnitedHealthcare and Erlanger Health System reach a deal to keep the hospital in the insurer's network.
The Chattanooga region's largest hospital system may soon be out of network for thousands of patients with UnitedHealthcare insurance if a bitter dispute with Erlanger Health System over payment rates is not resolved by the end of the month.
For a fourth time, Chattanooga has been overlooked for a multimillion-dollar federal grant to replace the Wilcox Tunnel through Missionary Ridge that has been in disrepair for decades.
EPB officials said again Wednesday that an independent audit — which the city-owned utility has declined for months to make public — supports its position that over- and underbilling in the city's streetlight program essentially cancel each other out.
After months of public debate, private discussions and recent litigation for millions of dollars, the city's Electric Power Board concedes that it overbilled Chattanooga more than $1.2 million for its streetlight energy.
In the 27 years that Capt. Corliss Cooper has been with the Chattanooga Police Department, she's seen a significant shift in the city's demographics.
The Chattanooga City Council on Tuesday rejected the easiest method to replace four members of the Industrial Development Board, opting instead for an arcane process that includes multiple committee meetings and drawing names from a hat.
The rusty rails that rest throughout the heart of Chattanooga may be revitalized if a new federally funded study shows a proposed light-rail route is feasible for the Choo-Choo city.
Numbers aren't everything.
In June, about a month after she had been kidnapped, punched, kicked, stomped, dragged by the hair, burned, raped and urinated on, a woman said a Chattanooga police officer who knew what she had been through told her that he desired her, that he burned for her.
In light of a scathing audit released last week, the Bessie Smith Cultural Center's governing board will ask Executive Director Rose Martin to resign in the coming days, sources with knowledge of the situation said.

It is a great initiative to secure your family's health expenses by opting for a Health Insurance Plan, especially with the rising cost of medication in the country. The best plan in the industry depends completely on your needs and choice. However, if you need a good cashless family floater plan, you can consider the following:
National Insurance Parivar Plan
Tata AIG Wellsurance Family Plan
Max Bupa Heartbeat Family Floater Plan
There are many good plans but it entirely depends upon your requirements.
However, before you purchase a family floater plan, please consider the following points:
1. List of Network of hospitals where you will get cashless facilities, so that in case of any emergency you know exactly which hospital to rush to
2. The TPA(Third Party Administrator) who will be helping you with the claim procedure if any
3. In case there are any pre-existing diseases for any of you, then it must be mentioned in the proposal form so that after the waiting period is over, the same would be covered.
Premium depends on the age of the oldest person, the options you choose and your health conditions.
If you would like the company representatives to call you, you can provide us with your contact details and we can arrange for a call back for you.

Protect Animals From Being Raped and Make Bestiality a Felony in Ohio!
Petition by
Albuquerque, NM
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Update: HB 289 (Representatives Goyal and McCain, Cosponsor Representative Garland ) was introduced that would make bestiality a felony in Ohio. Please contact your Ohio state representative asking them to support this bill. This petition will be presented to the mentioned Legislators in support to the proposed bill.
For More Information -
HB 289: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=129_HB_289
Did you know sexual relations (bestiality) with an animal is NOT specifically prohibited in Ohio?
In Shelby, Ohio, 31 year old Peter Bower was arrested for sexually abusing a 3 year old shepherd mix dog that he had adopted from the Richland County Dog Shelter in early May. On May 27, Bower entered an INNOCENT plea and is charged with ONLY TWO MISDEMEANOR COUNTS of animal cruelty for the rape of the innocent dog. According to The Mansfield News Journal, "the man's computer confiscated after the allegations the man posted stories and photos of himself and multiple animals in the act". Animals included three dogs and a horse. The postings date back to 2006. The article also goes on to say "the North Third Street man was arrested at his Mansfield workplace May 18 and charged with injuring animals, a second-degree misdemeanor, and companion animal prohibitions, a first-degree misdemeanor".
The dog was examined by a veterinarian and suffered physical trauma and pain from the abuse. The dog has been removed from the man's home for NOW. He was able to post bond and is now out of jail to freely continue with raping animals. The 31 yr-old Shelby man will face a pre-trial hearing at the end of July. Bestiality is not a crime in Ohio, therefore the rape of this innocent dog is ONLY a misdemeanor count of animal cruelty. According to the Michigan State University College of Law, approximately 30 states have enacted laws that prohibit sexual contact between humans and animals. Make Bestiality a Felony in Ohio!

Man Who Admitted To Bestiality Offers Dog-Sitting Services, Arrested
Peter Bower was arrested on June 8th after violating the terms of his probation by posting on a web site that he was available to dog-sit. If bestiality was a FELONY in Ohio, chances are he would have received a jail sentence at his sentencing in November instead of probation. Please help make this a law in Ohio and the states where bestiality is not a law! Obviously probation does not help!

No jail time for animal abuse
Thank you so much for your support of this petition. Since bestiality is not a felony in Ohio, the man mentioned in this petition DID NOT RECEIVE ANY JAIL TIME for his sexual abuse of the helpless animals. His sentence included a $500 fine, 80 days of community service, two years probation, a sexual evaluation and sex addiction classes. On a positive note, he is banned from owning animals. Please continue sharing this petition so those who rape animals get sentenced to prision and not just a slap on the wrist. Make bestiality a felony!

Any person mentally deranged enough to sexually abuse an animal is a threat to society. Make the laws strong enough to get them off the streets and locked away.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

If we don't protect the innocent (and this includes every species living on earth) then we are a guilty as those commiting evil acts upon them. To turn the other way and pretend you don't see, hear or know these evil acts are taking place, is a sin to all living things....please protect the innocent!!!REPORT THIS COMMENT:

The link between animal abuse and greater, more violent crimes against women and children has been well documented. In fact most serial killers admit to starting out abusing then torturing and killing animals. Unfortunately Mr. Bower will eventually get bored with an obedient victim on a leash and then how big of a leap do you think it will be for him to go from raping his dog to raping a child? What message does the leniency of these charges against Mr. Bower send to others out there just like him? Do you really want them having a convention in Cincinnati? Or Cleveland, even? I can just hear the conversation now..."Let's have it somewhere in Ohio next year. After all, bestiality is just a slap on the wrist there. And I even heard they will let you pick out a fresh date at the shelter first."
Please, PLEASE don't let them think Ohio has no compassion for the care, dignity, well being and humane treatment of companion animals, or any animal for that matter.
Make bestiality a felony in Ohio!
Thank you.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Random BSOD
Hi, i just found about your forum and thought i'd give it a try at solving my year old problem with my rig.
The blue screens apear to be random, so far i've had win xp, vista and 7 installed on this system and they still apear so i guess it's not OS related. I've also changed my mobo, my ram and finally changed the hdd's (well not changed, but aded a 1 tb samsung and reinstalled win 7 fresh on this disk) - and the problem still persists.
Last night i installed my new hdd, put the OS on it, and didn't configure the RAID (i also have 2xwdaaks) in system manager, so in my computer i could only see the samsung on which i had the OS. I started Dead Space 2, got a crash to desktop, tried to open Win explorer, got the not responding message and then the BSOD. After the restart, it took about 20 secs for the mobo to detect each HDD.
I plan on disconecting the RAID entirely and see if that helps, but still i wouldn't know if it's the raid chip or one of the hdd's.
That's why I attach my zip here as stated by the rules and see if any of you can help
Thanks in advance.

The first thing I notice is the time stamps on your logs , dumps, and files are all wrong. Mostly saying the year is 2038.
That incorrect date setting could be causing all kinds of messed up issues in and of itself.
|My System Specs
|08 Feb 2011
I didn't know that, i forgot to set it right the last time i reinstalled the OS. But shouldn't windows update the time by itself?
LE: I hit update now, but it fails, i don't know why, anyway i corrected date and time, but i can asure you the blue screens happened before even though the time was right then.
|My System Specs
|08 Feb 2011
Your creative drivers are out of date... they are actually pre-win 7 from what I see in the dump. You shouldn't have any trouble going to their website and updating to something whql certified.
You have a strangely outdated direct x sys file loading on your machine as well.
Have you scanned for malware lately?
Anyhow, immediately you need to update all your creative related stuff. None of it is up to date for win 7.
GizmoDrv.SYS is also very old, though I'm having trouble figuring out why it would even be on your system. Gizmodrv.sys driver | What is Gizmodrv.sys file?
I could keep going on, but basically you have a lot of out of date drivers. It would probably be worth the time to update them.
I was going to go to msi and link you directly to the updated drivers for your motherboard but that doesn't seem to be possible.
Here's the link for your audigy update though. Creative Worldwide Support > Audigy 2
|My System Specs
|08 Feb 2011
I didn't update the drivers as i didn't know there are newer ones for audigy, i will update the others as well. As i said, i had just fresh installed 7 and didn't install all those things. Nevertheless, it made no difference before, but i'll do what you suggested.
|My System Specs
|08 Feb 2011
Well using vista drivers in win 7 works sometimes... but not always.
I'm hoping to get some of the junk data out of the way, and possibly cure the problem. If not, it will at least give me a much shorter list should you get another crash dump.
|My System Specs
|09 Feb 2011
Got an other error, i forgot to mention sometimes it's a Bsod followed by automatic restart, some other times it just freezes and i need to restart my self. I had just disconected the two hdd's that were in raid, and i got a freeze with a repeated sound (i was playing ds2). Now i will update the audigy drivers and see what happens. Strangley enough, the few last times i had problems, it was all in the first 5 minutes since starting the system.
LE: updated the audigy drivers - same problem crash with repeating sound in speakers.
So i guess it wasn't the wdaaks's fault, it must be something else, but what? I almost changed my whole system and can't get it to run stable. This is killing me!
|My System Specs
|26 Feb 2011
Although more than a week passed since the last crash, the problem isn't solved. Here is the minudump and the xml generated after this last crash.
Can somebody please help me?

I saved the day, sister is now officially coming friday morning even after the situation that just occurred! Saved my dads bday weekend!
A nice run in the am— I say 6am… right after my run i go for a nice swim— I say 1200m swim… then eat then back in the gym at 12 to lift and hot tub right after to relax.. atleast i can be productive tmrrow
Ran my first sub 8 min mile in about 18 months… last September I was 235 lbs…. in january when i deped into the navy i was 212, now at 208, im in the amazing shape…. my fitness has changed alot in the last year! Now just got to stop getting the girls who just want to hook up and nothing more (because im leaving for the navy), although fun, I'd like a lil more then a lay!
man man man— I literally spent all my time working out. although that is awesome for my health and i am in the best shape in my life, and with that still got nothing to show for. Im still single, jobless again, stuck at home while everyone i know is leaving… I wait for the NAVY to come "save" me but it always seem to stall out some way some how… I cant get a job doing a something meaningless, been there done that… Im am to smart, or atleast i think i am, to be a cashier or stock boy at some retail company, once again been there done that… I got no passion anymore and the things i do have passion for are all on hold cause my ass cant suck it up and work at Mcdonalds or where ever they hire useless idiots… Sad thing is it might be a possibility that i am just a useless idiot cause from what i shown in my life, I cant really defend otherwise…. stopped going to highschool at 14 cause i thought i was too smart, see how well that worked out for me…. quit every job cause I felt i was to good for, still broke so whos to good for who… Single, dont want to even get on that subject… and but atleast i can say im in awesome shape! Whoopie!… I found something i really like doing and that is helping people but the thing is how can I help people if I cant help myself… It feels awesome when you help a kid save his navy career or a women to meet her fitness goals or the loook on my moms face when I make there anniversary dinner (which was awesome) but when all said is done I feel awesome but my life is in shambles and reality hits, im still a screw when it comes to helping myself…. Im 22 years old without literally a dime in my name, nor a college diploma, training degree, or even now a contract into the NAVY cause o wait I was slacking on test day and lost my special warfare contract… So from now and until I get my new contract, which Im not taking any job out of intelligence which could hold the whole being a NAVY sailor thing until next year! AWESOME! Well on that note time for a 5 mile run cause you know I still got my health if anything right
I cant fit all this on facebook and i got to get it all out of my head so here it goes… I lost my special forces contract because i failed my PST which sucks but honestly I think I just gave it up… i know i could have destroyed the test… i train so hard and in amazing shape but the thought of not being able to settle down to around thirty+ really got to my head… no matter how bad ass i think i am, im just a helpless romantic looking for that movie ending… but dont take it for weakness instead take it as knowing what i want because i can still handle my own but what's success without no one to share it with…
Anonymous said: Dude... you sure you ain't gay? Because you seem like a faggot haha.
Obviously gay, what gave it away
It is 3am and I am wide awake with nothing productive being done. Although I did look in the mirror and saw a beard growing in that would even make Grizzely Adams proud. And the ladies are taken a liken to the new beard. While driving to the recruiting office of the United States NAVY, I pulled up next to a girl. The aforementioned girl then looks over, as they always do, and with a glance of my manly beard a smiled appeared on her young face. then right as the girl was in mid grin, she waved. First you should never take your hand off the wheel while your driving, understandable tho because I am a sexy bitch, but thats not the point. Point is this girl risked her life just to wave and smile at me. A complete stranger I was to her and she still risked her own well being and her passengers just to get my attention. So what I did, because I dont condone unsafe driving, I sped off like a speeding bullet coming out of the mussle of a gun so she couldn't risk her life anymore by looking over at the sexyness called my face.
Life… So short, but so sweet. So mysterious but so joyfull. The magic that happens daily as one breathes in the wonderous molecule oxygen; which in return gives the beautfulness we call life. You die once but you cherish every other day as what seems to be true, you do die once… but you live forever. You live through memory. You live through the funny stories and sometimes the sad, but still never forgotten. Still living in those hearts that were blessed to retain those memories, those stories. I know I said magic already but it is the perfect word to describe the miracles and the triumphs of life. How can it be explained when a mother lifts a car to save their baby, or the ability to care and love for someone with such passion that you will die to preserve there life? One word… Magic. Its not just a trick up someones sleeve or a vanishing act but much-much more. The word was created to explain the unexplainable so people felt more comfortable but what in life in explainable. So from the first kiss of your true love or the miracle of birth, or to the death of a love one, everything in fact is magic.

Cancer Health Center
Brother, Can You Spare Some Cells to Fight Kidney Cancer?
The current study involves a modification of this combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The 19 patients were given enough chemotherapy drugs to suppress butnot destroy their immune systems. Each patient was then given immune cells from a sibling. The suppressed immune systems allowed the transplanted cells to "take" -- that is, to become one with the recipient's immune system.
"For whatever reason, the patient's body is telling us that the cancer has spread and their immune system is not successfully beating the cancer. The transferred [cells] from the sibling seem to be having significant effect," Linehan tells WebMD.
Study author Richard Childs, MD, medical oncologist and hematologist at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, explains further. He tells WebMD the immune systems of the donor and the recipient are quite different, even though they match, and in that difference lies the advantage: What the patient's immune cells are apparently unable to do, the donor's immune cells may be able to do.
"When you very suddenly replace the patient's immune system with a naive, healthy immune system in a setting where there's no tolerance, this is a way to break tolerance," Childs tells WebMD.
In an accompanying editorial, Shimon Slavin, MD, from Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem, agrees with the researchers. These donor cells have the capacity to attack the tumor the same way they would a foreign object, according to Slavin. Traditional cancer treatment may have overestimated the cancer-killing effects of chemotherapy and underestimated the ability of a donated immune system to help fight the cancer, he writes.
"Although these results are promising and should encourage similar treatment strategies for use against other tumors [that have spread], the procedure used by the researchers is not entirely satisfactory," writes Slavin. "Two patients died after receiving this treatment. Clearly, the procedure needs further refinement to minimize complications and improve its [usefulness]."

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Vaccinate Kids to Stop Flu in Community
Vaccination of Schoolchildren
The findings mimic, on a smaller scale, the experience in Japan from the early 1960s until the late 1980s.
During this time, annual flu shots were mandatory for school-aged children and vaccination rates of between 50% and 85% were achieved.
Deaths from the flu in Japan during this period dropped threefold to fourfold, but flu-related deaths began to climb again after the mandatory vaccination law was relaxed in 1987 and later repealed.
Infectious disease specialist William Schaffner, MD, says in the U.S. about 30% of children get annual flu shots, even though the CDC has recommended routine vaccination of the young for the past four years.
Schaffner is professor and chairman of the division of infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn.
"We have a long way to go to get to the vaccination levels that would be necessary to see this herd immunity in the general population," he tells WebMD.
Schaffner says the new findings could have important implications in years in which there are flu vaccine shortages.
Public health officials are now debating whether to recommend immunization for healthy children as well as people at high risk for flu complications in these years to reduce community-wide transmission.
Pulmonologist Len Horovitz, MD, of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, warns that vaccinating the healthy young is no substitute for vaccinating those most at risk from influenza.
"I would hope at-risk people don't take from this that they don't need to be vaccinated," he says. "That would be the wrong message to send."

First budget meeting scheduled
Date: June 10, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key residents and Public Interest Committee members Lenny Landau and Phillip Younger met with Finance Director Tom Kelley Monday, June 8, to present a 2009-10 budget study, which they believe has the potential for $920,000 in budget reductions.
But in an e-mail from Landau sent to the Town Commission Tuesday, June 9, Landau states that the finance director only found somewhere between $26,000 and $62,000 that might be considered acceptable savings in its budget study.
States Landau in the e-mail: "Tom's (Kelley's) approach was all or nothing regarding our suggestions, i.e., either accept exactly what we suggested or totally disregard it, a position which we feel is less than practical because many of the items we covered appear quite capable of being reduced either to what we suggest or to some level of compromise between the proposed budget and our suggestions, and which could still yield considerable savings."
Landau also says in his e-mail that the proposed budget has been "strongly influenced by prior budgets, rather than by actual expenditures, which is not a normal accepted practice in today's world and which tends to lead to over budgeting."
Landau said his budget suggestions are based on actual expenditures over the last three fiscal years.
Said Town Manager Bruce St. Denis: "We don't build the budget based on last year's budget."
The preliminary budget, St. Denis said, is always based on actuals from the previous completed fiscal year while using expenditures to date in the current year's budget.
"But we also do a comparison of the current year's budget and the proposed budget to show the commission what we plan to do differently this year, which leads to that misconception," St. Denis said.
St. Denis said the proposed budget is more than $100,000 less compared to the actuals from two years ago in the fiscal year 2007-08 budget and more than 4.5% less than what was budgeted last year.
The Longboat Key Town Commission will hold its first budget workshop of the summer at 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
Landau and Younger would like to talk to the commission about their study at that workshop.

Tom Krell, the songwriter and producer known as How to Dress Well, makes a kind of electronic R&B-influenced mood music that would make the perfect indie film soundtrack. Take that and add in his melancholic falsetto and his new album Total Loss sounds like the résumé of an aspiring film scorer. Hear How to Dress Well's new cinematic album here.
Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg's film version of Don DeLillo's character-driven novel of the same name, is one of the best book adaptations in recent memory.
The movie is a testament to the director's attention to detail and dedication to his source material, but that ultimately means that how much anyone enjoys the movie is dependent on their reaction to DeLillo's thought-provoking rumination on money, power and self-destruction in 21st-century America.
A vampire capitalist haunts New York in the film adaptation of Cosmopolis, Don DeLillo's sci-finance novel that focuses on a Wall Street billionaire named Eric Packer who trades, converses, theorizes, kills and screws his way through New York in a single day. Cronenberg talks about bringing the movie to the screen.
The first trailer for sci-fi horror film Antiviral starts with a slick advertisement for a clinic that sells the bodily fluids of celebrities — and then it gets really strange.

Laburnum FC made it four league wins in a row with a 2-0 win away at Wingerworth Barley Mow.
With a scrappy beginning to the game, Laburnum took the lead at 13 minutes when a cross by Alex Cramp was converted by Martin Travis for a goal on his debut.
The away side grew into the game with Mellor's pace on the left flank causing concern for the home side.
It wasn't long before more chances were being created with both Toplis and Travis going close but the score line remained 1-0 at half time.
The second half saw Wingerworth start the better side, forcing some good saves from keeper Roberts.
But once again Laburnum grew into the game with Stokes in particular the stand out man by setting-up the second goal.
Stokes played an excellent ball behind the full back and into the path of Mellor – who lifted the ball over the on-rushing keeperinto the far corner of the net to make it 2-0 with 10 minutes remaining.
Wingerworth thought they had pulled one back with 5 minutes to go but the goal was judged to be offside.
Another excellent Laburnum performance cements their second league clean sheet in succession they take all three points home.

By Tererai Karimakwenda
10 October 2012
An estimated 150 members from the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) participated in a cleanup of outdoor markets in Bulawayo on Wednesday, to commemorate 'World Day for Decent Work'.
But an official from the umbrella labour union said in addition to the cleanup campaign, they will be submitting a petition to the Ministers responsible for Trade and Industry, Water Resources Management and Labour and Social Welfare.
Reason Ngwenya, chairman of the ZCTU Western Region, told SW Radio Africa that the petitions are meant to highlight the critical water shortages that have crippled Bulawayo and the high rate of unemployment caused by daily company closures.
Ngwenya said they chose to sweep and cleanup the outdoor markets because they are central locations where many people meet to buy food, exposing them to the risk of contracting cholera and other waterborne diseases.
"Bulawayo has been so dry this year and the Minister has made no plans. We are in a crisis and need water without fail. They must speed it up," Ngwenya said, adding that people are being forced to drink from water sources that are not safe and this has gone on too long.
Ngwenya said the petition will also highlight the company closures that government promised to address by providing loans to businesses and individuals in need, through the Distressed Industries and Marginalized Areas Fund (DIMAF).
"Our businesses are shutting down day in and day out. There has been talk about this DIMAF for nearly two years now. We don't know what industries have benefitted but our industries are closing. Unemployment is so high in this city, which is not acceptable to workers," Ngwenya explained.
The activist blasted the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare for failing to provide health and safety clothing and equipment in order to protect the workers. According to Ngwenya, fatal accidents on the job have increased by 25% from last year's figures.
The ZCTU petitions are separate from the demands being negotiated by workers' representatives in the umbrella Apex Council, which met Wednesday to decide whether to go on strike over the same issues. By the end of Wednesday there was no news about whether the strike will go ahead.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
ok this is a really good movie it's really bold and honest and amazing
When I first saw this film, I admired it's artistry without particularly liking it. It's an extremely cold and clinical take on the subject and it doesn't really take it's characters anywhere so much as observe them sitting in their suffering. Nobody has a character arc to speak of, so it's difficult to see what the point is. On second viewing, I liked it a lot more. Perhaps I knew what to expect, so I was less bothered by it's…
Micheal Fassbender stars as Brandon the young, successful, 30 something year old sex addict who keeps his life in tight control. but that control is unravelled when his sister Cissy played by Casey Mulligan rocks up out of nowhere saying she needs to stay for a few days. From then on Brandon's whole routine collapses as he begins to lose his grip with himself whilst his growing sex addiction slowly overtakes him.
Shame was a very different film when i…
Didn't go nearly far enough in my opinion. I was supposed to see how completely life ruining Brandon's lifestyle is, but he seemed bored more than anything.
One could argue that Steve McQueen's direction and Sean Bobbitt's cinematography are the stars of Shame, but it is truly Michael Fassbender's performance as Brandon that makes Shame such an effective portrayal of addiction. So much is said in Shame through just faces and camera angles, rather than the minimal amount of dialogue. Brandon's fixation with immediate satisfaction rather than long term emotional/intimate relationships comes in direct conflict of the film's contemplative direction creating an entirely enthralling and mesmerizing experience.
Sex isn't depicted so much so erotic in Shame, but rather as how an addictive substance is typically portrayed. Dangerous, painful, and blinding.

Steve Addazio has added Dude #23 to his Class of 2015 haul with the verbal commitment of ATH Jeff Smith this morning.
Smith(6'1, 170lbs), who figures to be a quarterback upon entrance to the Heights comes out of Clearwater Central Catholic in Clearwater, Florida. He is ranked three stars by Rivals and holds offers from Wisconsin, Iowa State, and Indiana, according to 247 Sports.
The newly committed recruit camped in Chestnut Hill last week and told the Tampa Bay Times that "[when] I camped there it felt like home with the students, players and coaches…They also wanted me as a quarterback". Indiana was seemingly the only school other than Boston College to offer Smith the opportunity to play at quarterback.
Jeff Smith is the second quarterback commit in Coach Addazio's 2015 recruiting class after dual threat Elijah Robinson chose Boston College over offers from Nebraska and Michigan State among others. With Darius Wade and James Murphy set to compete for the starting job for the next 3-4 years in the future after Tyler Murphy, it will be interesting to see where Smith and Robinson or even Troy Flutie (the hopeful Brian Fallon to Doug's Springsteen) fit into the mix.
Nevertheless, Steve Addazio is continuing to his build off his strong 2014 class and the only question is with this tsunami of Boston College commitments is: Who's next?

1.12: Non-Parametric Statistics
Introduction to Non-Parametric Statistics
Non-parametric statistics are a more exotic test. The situations in which data is encountered that is not normal are few, and as a consequence this section is very rarely covered in any statistics course, let alone a high school level AP course. These sections are advisable only for students who are truly exceptional. Furthermore, these tests are almost never run by hand. Every statistics specific package will have tests, and they should be used.
An interesting note is that a common use of the runs test is to test for randomness. This makes sense, as testing for correlation is the opposite, and obviously random numbers will not be randomly distributed. Appendix A: Online Data Sources
There are a number of sources of real data that is pertinent and interesting for projects and assignments for students. Here is a short list of sources I have used.
Data.gov: http://www.data.gov/catalog/raw
The central clearinghouse for raw data for all of the federal government agencies. Data is available in XML or CSV files.
US Census: http://www2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/
Raw data from the 2000 census. There are other tools on the census site, but most of them manipulate the data too much rather than just presenting numbers.
UN Data: http://data.un.org/
A clearinghouse for the data collected from various UN organizations including the WHO, WTO, UNICEF and UNESCO.
Baseball Reference: http://www.baseball-reference.com/
While there are other sports that collect statistics, none do it with the verve of baseball. This is the most complete resource for all kinds of baseball statistics.
Appendix B: Statistical Software Packages
This list is not exhaustive, but should give a brief overview as to what software is available to support classroom activities.
Fathom: http://www.keypress.com/x5656.xml
Fathom is published by a textbook publisher, so it has a wide following in schools. It is easy to use, powerful enough for most, and has many activities and lesson plans available for use. It also is one of the cheaper packages. Windows and MacOS
SPSS: http://www.spss.com/
SPSS has outgrown its acronym: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. It is now a huge data mining and statistics suite owned by IBM. It is easy to get started with, as it uses a spreadsheet type interface for most of its data. Expensive. All platforms.
SAS: http://www.sas.com/
SAS is geared more towards enterprise uses. I have never been in a school lab with SAS installed, but it remains a popular choice for many, with lots of online community help and resources. Expensive. All platforms.
R is a FREE open-source clone of the functionality from the legendary math and statistics package S and S+ from AT&T. It is huge, the documentation is hard to read, it has few graphical interface items, and is truthfully more of a programming language/environment. It's what I use. It does everything. Did I mention its free? All platforms.
Minitab: http://www.minitab.com/en-US/default.aspx
Minitab is, in my experience, somewhere between SAS and SPSS in usability. It is a favorite of many business schools. There is a significant group of AP teachers using Minitab in their classes, so lesson help should be easy to find. Expensive. Windows only.
Mathematica: http://www.wolfram.com/
An all around math software and programming environment. It's using a cannon to kill a fly for a stats class. Tough to use, but has incredible documentation. Very, very expensive, but massive discounts are available to teachers and students. All platforms.
Excel: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/default.aspx
You were waiting for this one... Well, the good news is you probably have it already, and everyone is familiar with at least the basics. The bad part is that the range of tests is very limited, and there are an incredible amount of documented errors with various distributions and functions. I can't recommend it, but it has worked for some in the past, and will continue to work for many in the future. You probably don't need to buy it. Windows and MacOS.
Random.org: http://www.random.org/
Not software, but a website that is committed to provide about as good of random numbers as is possible. There is also a ton of info on randomness, why it's elusive and some other techniques for better generating randomness. A great resource for teachers and students. Free!

Parkchester community seeks to preserve 74-year-old theater
BRONX, NY — Locals are getting behind reopening the American Theater, which Bow Tie operated until it closed last Fall. They've already put together a petition with 1,000+ signatures to reopen it and has also spoken with the Landmark Preservation Commission.
Read more at News 12.
(Thanks to jeterga for providing the photo.)

Comments (7)
Im hoping they win. Its time these theatres stay open and not destroyed or turned into retail.
I wish the local Parkchester community the absolute best of luck in re-opening the American but, from appearances via the News 12 story, the theatre seems to already be in the process of being gutted.
this building was built as a movie theater
for the Parkchester community 74 years ago.
i don't understand why Bow Tie closed it
to begin with. was it not doing well?
Bow Tie closed it because their lease was up and the landlord did not renew because he wanted to convert it to retail.
Roger is correct – unfortunately our lease could not be renewed. Bow Tie does not own the building, unfortunately.
Please, save this place. The Bronx only has two theaters. Talk about underserved.
To the above, unconfirmed rumor that another theater will open as part of the Whitestone Cinema Paragon Outlet Mall project. The original developer of the HUB retail project proposed a theater and that project fell through, no theater there woth the newest developer. Agree with you, Bronx is "underscreened." A theater was also planned for the original dead Kingsbridge Armory mall.

Making a documentary film about hair was an unusual choice for Chris Rock, the performer best known for his stand-up comedy, hit television series "Everybody Hates Chris" and big-screen acting roles in films such as "Lethal Weapon 4." Click here to read the rest of the article.
This morning, at 8:30am, as everyone was buzzing about the Oscar nominations, I went to see Chris Rock"™s hilarious documentary Good Hair. "Utah has been very good to me," Rock tells me. "At first Sundance scared me because it"™s so white and this movie is about black girls"™ hair. I thought originally Cannes would be a better venue because the film also has a gay esthetic, but it"™s been amazing here, just amazing." Indeed Rock has had a very good Sundance.
Check out the official Sundance page for Chris' new film "Good Hair". The film was awarded a Special Jury Prize for U.S. Documentary. Click here to check out the page.
It's not often that we speak with a bona fide comic legend, but Chris Rock fits those shoes. You've seen Rock's starring roles in movies like New Jack City and Madagasca; his TV show, Everybody Hates Chris; or hosting the Academy Awards. But Rock is best known as one of the greatest stand up comics who has ever graced the Laugh Factory. Rock's latest DVD, Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger is out now and proves that comedy is universal. The DVD was cut together from shows shot in three cities, London, New York and Johannesburg.
Judging from the audience reaction at the press screening of Chris Rock's "Good Hair," HBO should look to air the documentary, a commentary by Rock (interviewed on video earlier) on the industry and mindset of African-American hair, as soon as possible. Snickers, guffaws, gasps, nods of agreement, winces and cheers arose from the industry crowd as Rock, with a cavalcade of stars including Nia Long, Ice-T, the Rev. Al Sharpton, video vixen Melyssa Ford and Dr. Maya Angelou, commented on personal and societal rules when dealing with black hair. Especially that of a black woman.
Chris Rock have been named as a presenter at "The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards" to be telecast live on NBC Sunday, January 11 (8 - 11 p.m. EST) at The Beverly Hilton. Check Local Listings for the channel in your area.
Chris Rock is one of the world's most successful comics. Now he says the secret to stand-up in front of 15,000 people is to channel the inner Freddie Mercury. Click here to read the entire article
On stage Chris Rock is pure comic electricity. His stand-up is loud, vulgar, taboo-skewering, unfailingly funny, wildly popular. He once proposed how gun violence in America could be reduced by simply raising the price of bullets to $5000 apiece. This would not stop the killing, he argued, but the overhead would at least ensure there would be no more innocent bystanders. Click here to read the entire article.
A new article about Chris from the Herald in Dublin, Ireland has been published today. Click here to read the article.
By BOB ELLISON Conventional wisdom suggests that standup comedians don't fare well abroad, but Chris Rock proved them wrong this year, pulling off 2008's biggest international tour, a $23 million affair with 141 shows in eight countries ranging from England to Australia to South Africa. "The idea of a whole extreme culture of differences is a myth -- a gigantic myth, an excuse!" insists Rock, who also saw toon sequel "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" earn more than $165 million worldwide.
