Passage: 1 John 2:1-8
How do you tell authentic followers of Jesus from the fake ones? How do you authenticate your faith? How do you back up your claim to know Christ? Love, love, love, love, love, love L-O-V-E!!! You've got to tell it, you've got to show it, you've got to feel it, you've got to touch it. Love you mother, love your brother, love your neighbor, love the stranger, love your enemies. Love is the act which authenticates the gospel in theology and in life.
My father witnessed to a man who came by our house when I was young—12 or 13 years old. The visitor was a Jehovah's witness. He and my Dad stood in the driveway. I remember my father leaning up against the car fender, talking to this man. I came into the conversation at the end, as the man was leaving. I remember my father telling him, "When your religion lets you down, come back here and I will tell you more about Jesus. He will never let you down." That was an occasion when a man with great zeal but limited knowledge came upon my father who had both zeal and knowledge of the Scriptures.
Dad taught us the Scriptures. He did so systematically, faithfully, and intentionally. I literally sat at the feet of my father as he did this. He also taught us occasionally, as circumstances brought things up. His encounter with the Jehovah's witness was one such occasion which taught me a lesson I have never forgotten: our faith is in Jesus, not a religious system.
John is an elderly gentleman writing an occasional letter. The occasion, as with my father's witness, concerned false doctrine. John addresses the readers as "My dear children" because he truly feels that way about them—they are his children.

The Angels and the Hall of Fame …
Nine Hall of Famers have played for the Angels at some point in their careers — sometimes for pretty long stretches — but none have gone into Cooperstown with an Angels hat. Nolan Ryan pitched in Anaheim for eight years, from 1972-79, but went in with a Rangers cap. Rod Carew spent his last seven seasons with the Angels, from 1979-85, but went in as a member of the Twins. Reggie Jackson spent five of his twilight years here, from 1982-86, but alas, he's a Yankee.
So basically the Angels have zero representation in the Hall of Fame. Seven other current teams are in the same boat, but that can change soon for the D-backs (Randy Johnson), Mariners (Johnson, Edgar Martinez, Ken Griffey Jr.) and Astros (Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell). The others are the Rockies, Marlins, Rays and Nationals, four teams that didn't exist as recently as 1992.
The Angels have had some very notable representation on the ballot. Darin Erstand, Troy Percival and Tim Salmon have recently received token Hall of Fame votes, but have dropped off the ballot because they didn't get the required five-percent support. Jim Edmonds, Troy Glaus, Garret Anderson, David Eckstein and Bengie Molina will debut in the next ballot, but four of them probably don't have a shot and the other (Edmonds) would probably go in as a member of the Cardinals if elected.
I recently wrote about why Bobby Grich may have deserved more love from Hall of Fame voters, and how he could've been the first Angels representative in the Hall, but it looks like he'll never get in.
At some point, though, the Angels will have their Hall of Famer.
Question is: Who?
Maybe it's Vladimir Guerrero, whom Pedro Martinez vouched for recently, but Guerrero — eligible for the 2017 class — spent his first eight years with the now-defunct Montreal Expos.
Maybe it's Albert Pujols, who should definitely be a first-ballot Hall of Famer but will have always put up his greatest numbers in St. Louis.
Maybe it's Mike Scisocia, who's building a Hall of Fame resume as a manager.
Or maybe it's Mike Trout, who is on a path to becoming one of the greatest players in baseball history but, you know, is only 23 years old.
Class of 2035?

Grant Green: A Ramblin' Man …
David Freese had come over from St. Louis, Erick Aybar was entrenched at shortstop and utility man Andrew Romine was out of options, so Grant Green went into 2014 figuring he'd just stay at second base for the Angels, to start there in the Minor Leagues and be ready on the off chance Howie Kendrick was traded.
"I couldn't have been more wrong," Green said from the Angel Stadium clubhouse on Friday afternoon, shortly after being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake.
Green started the season with the Salt Lake Bees, played two games at second base, then spent the rest of the time getting re-acclimated with the left side of the infield, playing a lot of shortstop and a little bit of third base.
A week ago, he was told he'd start playing left field, and Green didn't know what to think. He asked Triple-A manager Keith Johnson what was going on, and couldn't get an answer.
"You're kind of thinking, 'Did I not do a good job at third and short that they have to put me in the outfield now?'" Green said. "But as long as you're in this clubhouse over that one, I guess you're doing something right."
The Angels just wanted Green to be as versatile as possible to make him more appealing in the big leagues, and give them more options to get his bat in the lineup – a bat that was responsible for a .349/.395/.505 slash line in 119 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he's "very comfortable" starting Green in left field, a position he spent 49 games at in the A's system in 2012. The 26-year-old right-handed hitter, acquired from Oakland in exchange for third baseman Alberto Callaspo last July, wasn't in the lineup against right-hander Colby Lewis, but will probably start on Saturday against Matt Harrison and most other lefties moving forward.
Left field figures to be Green's primary position with the Angels right now, but Scioscia said "his versatility is something that will come into play."
Green credited former Angels second baseman Bobby Grich for his success at the plate early on. The two met at a Make-A-Wish event, exchanged numbers and started working together in a local batting cage. Grich taught Green to finish his swing a little lower, which Green believes has "allowed me to stay on the plane of the ball a lot longer."
Left field "feels good," Green said.
Everything does in the big leagues.
"It was just getting used to not reacting right away; taking a couple seconds to see where the ball goes first," Green said. "But it felt fine. The throw's a little bit longer, the batter's a little further away. Other than that, it's the same."

Angel Stadium to become 'Field of Dreams' …
The following is a release sent out by the team about an upcoming charitable game at the ballpark …
More than 900 children with physical and mental disabilities from 30 Challenger Division Little League teams throughout Orange County will experience the thrill of playing baseball at Angel Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 3, in the seventh annual Bank of America Orange County Little League "Challenger Classic." The Challenger Classic, created through a partnership between the Angels Baseball Foundation and Bank of America, provides young players with the joy of playing America's pastime alongside their baseball heroes and coaches, right on the field at Angels Stadium. The event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Four sets of games will be played starting at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., with each age division playing a two-inning, one-hour game on designated diamonds on the outfield grass at Angel Stadium. Scheduled to participate in this year's Orange County Little League Challenger Classic are Angels pitcher Jerome Williams, Angels Third Base Coach Dino Ebel, Angels Bullpen Coach Steve Soliz, former Angels players Bobby Grich, Clyde Wright, Justin Speier and Rex Hudler and Angels Chairman Dennis Kuhl.
In addition to the current and former Angels, 200 Bank of America volunteers and local Little League "Buddies" will help make it a day to remember, including video display of the games on the Jumbotron, a team photo with an Angel player, special medal award ceremony near home plate and lunch.
Families, friends and baseball fans are invited to join Bank of America, the Angels Baseball Foundation at the Orange County Little League Challenger Classic. Enter at Angels Stadium at Gate 1. Seating is open.
Media planning to attend the day's events are asked to contact the Angels' Communications Department prior to their arrival.

Well hello, 2012 …
At long last, I can say this: Happy Opening Day, all. We're about four hours away from first pitch at Angel Stadium, with Jered Weaver taking the ball against Bruce Chen, Albert Pujols debuting and Kendrys Morales (likely) being in a regular-season starting lineup for the first time since May 2010.
Some links to get you ready …
- Finally, Pujols is set to make his Opening Day debut
- Weaver eager to get year started
- Anticipation runs high as Halos get light work
- Morales, Mark Trumbo likely to be in OD lineup
- In new home, Pujols not distracted by doubters
- With Pujols and C.J. Wilson, Angels aiming high in 2012
- Humble Weaver is true lead dog for Angels
Some Opening Day factoids …
- The Angels have won seven of their last eight Opening Day games.
- Pujols is batting .415 (17-for-41) with four homers for his career on Opening Day. His .379 batting average against the Royalsis his highest vs. any club (minimum of 50 at-bats).
- Weaver is making his third straight OD start and fourth overall. He's one of five Angels pitchers to make four or more OD starts, joining Mike Witt (five), Chuck Finley (four), Mark Langston (four) and Frank Tanana (four).
- Over the last 10 years, the Angels are 57-29 against the Royals, including a 26-14 mark at home.
Some memorable Opening Days in club history, courtesy of the Angels PR department …
- April 6, 1973: Nolan Ryan makes his first Opening Day start with the Angels, beating the Royals, 3-2, by striking out 12 in a complete game.
- April 6, 1977: Tanana hurls a complete-game shutout in the Angels' 7-0 win over the Mariners.
- April 8, 1986: Bobby Grich homers off the first pitch of the season in Seattle.

Commit To Buy Puma Biotechnology At $95, Earn 27.4% Annualized Using Options
Top YieldBoost Puts of the S&P 500 »
Selling a put does not give an investor access to PBYI's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $95 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Puma Biotechnology, Inc. sees its shares decline 21.2% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $83.90 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $11.10 from $95), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 27.4% annualized rate of return.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Puma Biotechnology, Inc., and highlighting in green where the $95 strike is located relative to that history:

New Lara Croft game a bargain
Summer debut confirmed
The new 'Lara Croft' game confirmed by Square Enix Europe last week will cost just 15 USD at launch, according to word in this evening from developer Crystal Dynamics.
The digital title, called Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, will be released in the summer for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 we're told. No disc-based debut is planned whatsoever.
An isometric arcade game is billed, and this 'Lara Croft' title could act as a spin-off from the main Tomb Raider series.
The game will have co-op leanings, Lara teaming up with Mayan spearman on an adventure set in some familiarly gloomy tombs.

A South Carolina man was booked with attempted first-degree murder after authorities say he led police on a wild chase across the Causeway Bridge - weaving in and out of traffic and ramming a patrol vehicle - before brandishing a knife Wednesday evening.
Jason Criswell, 32, of Goose Creek, S.C., was taken to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna where he was also booked with DWI, aggravated flight from an officer resisting an office by violence and a myriad of other charges connected to the pursuit.
The chase began just before 5 p.m. about 13 miles from the south shore of the lake when dispatchers received complaints of a white four-door vehicle speeding and weaving through traffic in the southbound lanes, according to Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou and an arrest report.
Causeway Police Cpl. Blake Kirby caught up to the driver, later determined to be Criswell, near Crossover 4 and realized the vehicle was going about 103 miles per hour, the arrest report said. The driver slowed down some when Kirby turned on his emergency lights and siren, but refused to stop.
"At that point, he was weaving in and out of vehicles," Dufrechou said.
Kirby passed the speeding vehicle and then managed to get his patrol vehicle in front of the car to slow it down. Dufrechou said the officer was trying to stop him before he endangered another pack of vehicles on the bridge.
But the driver began moving from side to side to try and get in front of Kirby. He then drove his car onto the left-hand curb and smashed into Kirby's patrol unit, Dufrechou said.
The maneuver spun both vehicles. Kirby's patrol unit turned at a 90-degree angle and his door was jammed shut by the white car. Criswell got out of his vehicle with a knife in hand. Kirby unholstered his pistol and climbed out of his window, the arrest report said.
Kirby tackled Criswell, disarmed him and kept him cuffed until other officers could arrive.
"We're delighted Kirby's okay," Dufrechou said.
But his patrol unit received considerable damage on the left-hand side.
While in a patrol car, Criswell began banging his head on the metal cage inside the vehicle, the arrest report said. He was taken to East Jefferson General Hospital in Metairie, but refused treatment. At the Jefferson Parish Correctional, he screamed and yelled at staff and at one point refused to let go of a cabinet until a jailer pried his fingers loose, the arrest report said.
Criswell, who was also booked with reckless operation of a vehicle, self mutilation, illegally carrying weapons and battery of a police officer, was still being held at the jail Thursday in lieu of a $224,000 bond.
Dufrechou lauded Kirby and other officers with protecting other motorists during the erratic chase.
"We're really proud of Kirby and that entire team. They did a terrific job and preventing other people from getting hurt," he said.

FLINT, MI -- Flint police have identified a victim in a deadly shooting that occurred Friday, Oct. 4.
Darryl Andre Cold Jr., 21, was pronounced dead at a scene near the intersection of East Flint Parkway Boulevard and Aubrey Street.
Police said Cold, the driver of a van involved in an accident near the
intersection, was found unresponsive with gunshot wounds and was later
pronounced dead at the scene.
Flint police had received a call Friday for an unknown accident in the area around 10:40 p.m. A white van had run off the roadway and collided with a tree, police say. The van sat with its headlights and brake lights on and side door open as police and detectives investigated the scene for hours.
Witnesses who had been walking on a nearby street just before the shooting occurred say they heard four rapid gunshots followed by a delay and then two more shots.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-422-5245 or the Flint Police Department at 810-237-6800.

Programmed cell death (PCD) serves as an efficient intrinsic defense against cellular injury or infection. Many pathogens, such as viruses, subvert normal cell death pathways as a mechanism to facilitate their own replication and persistence. Research in the Upton lab centers focuses on the molecular pathogenesis of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) and the regulation of PCD during infection. Using techniques of molecular and cellular biology, virology, and immunology, our research focuses on (1) elucidating the molecular mechanisms that initiate and execute programmed cell death pathways, (2) identifying and characterizing pathogen-encoded mechanisms of cell death suppression, and (3) understanding the role of cell death and cell death suppression during natural host-pathogen interactions, specifically influences on pathogenesis and host immunity.
Evasion of PCD is also a hallmark of cancer. Tumor cells develop a variety of mechanisms to subvert cell death pathways that would normally eliminate these defective cells. Therefore understanding how cell death is controlled is central to the understanding of cancer itself. The Upton lab also focuses on interrogating the molecular mechanisms by which cancer cells evade PCD. Using the understanding and insights gleaned from studying viral systems, we aim to identify and characterize how tumor cells inactivate their own cell death machinery to survive and spread, providing potential novel targets for therapeutic intervention.

"CSR belongs in the heart of business." Jan Peter Balkenende, Partner, EY
After eight years as prime minister of The Netherlands, Jan Peter Balkenende is now focusing on helping businesses adapt to the increasing demands of corporate social responsibility.
Jan Peter Balkenende stepped down as Dutch prime minister in October 2010, and recently began work as a leader with EY.
"Although I've dedicated my life to public affairs — in party politics, academia, as a member of the Lower House of Parliament and as prime minister — I don't feel that my move to the corporate sector marked a clear turning point," he says.
His role at EY will build on that experience as he works with international affairs, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the interface between the public and private sectors.
Balkenende looks forward to helping businesses improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR).
"CSR belongs in the heart of business," he says. "The days when it was relegated to its own corner are in the past."
This change, he contends, has very much been driven from the top, with senior business leaders having come to recognize the significance of CSR to their business — and society as a whole.
"People realize that this is not just a marketing tool and it is now in the hearts and minds of the CEO and CFO. I'm very happy with this."
When institutions make agreements to improve world finances they should stick to them, says Balkenende.
"It was the goal to finalize the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations on global free trade in one year," he says.
"But one year later, you had to conclude that the WTO agreements had not been completed, that Copenhagen was not a success and that many elements of the new financial architecture are still to be completed."
Balkenende says that world leaders should continue on this track, and hopes to contribute to their efforts through his new role at EY.

The questions readers submitted are below. If any readers out there If you have a tip or solution to share -- or even a new dilemma -- have some tips to share or some new questions to ask, please e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com, comment here on this blog or send your questions and responses to Pam Lundborg, Home and Real Estate editor, The Post-Standard, P.O. Box 4915, Syracuse, NY 13221. Please Put "dilemma" in the e-mail subject line or on the envelope letter and include your name and where you live.
We'll print as many new solutions and dilemmas as we can every Saturday.
Frank's pouty potatoes:
"I have a good sized garden with no problems but one: my potatoes. As they mature, I get potato bugs on them (orange with black stripes). They eat the leaves before I can dig them out. I've tried many different solutions, with no avail. It's getting to be a problem and, if I can't solve it, I may quit planting potatoes (Pontiac Reds).
"If anyone out there has a solution, I'd be a very happy planter."
-- Frank Salatti Jr., Marcellus
Kathie's Messy Moss:
"I have a problem with moss growing in my garden, grass and especially on the rocks and steps. I would welcome any help as to how to get rid of it on the rocks."
-- Kathie Hackwelder, Syracuse, via e-mail
Maria's Mucky Mess:
"Hope you can help. I have a Chinese rug with a center medallion under my dinning room table. I don't use this room very often. Yesterday I went in to vacuum the rug and discovered that the cat had thrown up on the rug. It must have been a while ago as it had dried up. Unfortunately it was on the cream colored part of the rug. This a real Chinese rug, not a commercial type. I believe it is wool?
"I tied to clean it up with a product called Resolve. I did it several times, but it has left a light orangish spot about 4 inches wide."
-- Maria Mills, via e-mail
Robert's Rust Removal:
"I have cement porch with wrought iron railings that have rusted the cement. Is there any way to remove this rust?''
-- Robert S. Amann, Camillus, via email
Pesky Paint Frustrates Fred:
"I have a problem with paint peeling off the exterior of the wooden window frames on my house.
"I believe these frames are redwood, which was popular when the house was built in 1958.
"I carefully removed all the paint that hadn't already flaked off this frame and let it dry out thoroughly in a warm garage for several days before sanding, priming and painting it using what the 'expert' in the paint store recommended for redwood. But the finish I put on has already cracked and will soon fall off.
"Unfortunately, there are many more window frames in worse shape that I was planning to repaint this summer. These are an odd size, so I think that it would be prohibitively expensive to have replacement windows custom-made.
"I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have for getting out of this home dilemma."
-- Fred Lyman, via e-mail
Bill's Blight:
"Dilemma: Tomato Blight. For several years now I have had trouble with blight. I've tried about everything: purchasing resistant plants, moving them every year to different gardens, spraying them with liquid copper fungicide, mulching, keeping them 6 feet apart, removing lower limbs, watering only in the a.m.. About halfway through to ripening season the blight starts low and moves up the plant to kill it. Very frustrating! Any new ideas?"
-- Bill Robbins, Cicero, via e-mail
Jan's Seeing Spots:
"I think I have artillery mold (or fungus) on my vinyl sided house. We used to have a dark wood mulch but have switched to stone (removed all the old, wood mulch first). Any way to get the spots off the siding? We have tried power washing and bleach. It still seems to be spreading."
-- Jan B., Auburn, via e-mail
Jaime's Stained Sinks and Window Drops:
"I have two dilemmas that I hope you can help me with:
1) "I have a newer home (5 years) with white porcelain sinks. It seems like anything and everything stains them. I had a brown wicker basket that must have gotten a little wet and it left a stain. I have a couple drops of hair dye that never went away. I am vigilant about cleaning my sinks but these will NOT go away. Any suggestions?"
2) "It seems like after every rainfall I have huge water drop stains on all of my window. This maddening to clean constantly. Any tricks?"
-- Jaime L. Hill, via e-mail

Chris Hardwick has been a busy beaver!
Not only has he recently inked a pilot deal with BBC America based on his super popular Nerdist podcast, he's also releasing a book in November, continuing on with his podcasting duties and and as Deadline tells us, that he's just sold 50 percent interest in Nerdist Industries to nerdy online hub GeekChicDaily in efforts to invest in further multi-platforming and cross-leveraging of audiences.
In non-new media speak, Hardwick's attracting lots of new audience members and lots of new outlets for his comedy. With any hope, this is further proof that geeks and nerds will soon – if we don't already – rule the world.

KALAMAZOO — There are essentially two ways to perform Handel's Messiah: with full orchestra, complete with the Mozart arrangement for trombones and clarinets and a chorus of hundreds, or in some approximation of Handel's original forces, around fifteen in the chorus and a similar number of instruments. The former is the one we have come to expect while the latter usually signifies an effort to involve historic performance practices.
On Saturday night at Chenery Auditorium, the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra's version was neither of the above. It was some kind of hybrid with reduced numbers and original instrumentation, but with less than a sincere attempt at Baroque performance practices. The result was a toned down rendition of the modern version.
If KSO Music Director and Conductor Raymond Harvey had been serious about trying to replicate Handel's original setting, he would have conducted from the harpsichord. Instead, the instrument was behind the orchestra and difficult to hear. Harvey did extract from the ensemble a good sense of Baroque overdotting, but the characteristic lilt of baroque-style eighth-notes and lively dance rhythms was inconsistent at best.
The continuo section included only three cellos, two basses, bassoon, harpsichord, and portative organ. They were small in number, but were not as responsive to Harvey's attempts at lively tempos and snappy rhythms as should have been expected.
The hybrid nature of the concert was also evident in the soloists. Alfrelynn Roberts, soprano, Gregory Schmidt, tenor, and Kevin Burdette, baritone had operatic voices with the kind of presence and vibrato associated with that genre. However, alto soloist Wendy Bloom had a decidedly smaller, Early Music-friendly, voice that was sometimes lost in the orchestral accompaniment.
The chorus of 36 voices should have been reduced both for the sake of a consistent tone and to keep up with Harvey's tempos. Yet any reduction would have made the chorus's rather narrow dynamic range even more evident.
Historic practices aside, there were certainly many marvelous moments in the concert. Schmidt sang with great clarity and diction in his arias "Ev'ry valley shall be exalted" and "Thou shalt break them." Roberts energetic performance of the aria "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion," was exciting and seemed to inspire the orchestra. It was amazing how this faster tempo brought clarity and focus to all the strings. Burdette, with easily the most powerful voice, was best suited to his arias "The people that walked in darkness" and "Why do the nations so furiously rage together." Bloom, who generally settled into very reserved tempos, excelled in the aria "O Thou that tellest good tidings to Zion."
The concert extended beyond the Christmas portion of the Messiah to include movements of the concluding Easter parts of the oratorio. This included the Halleluia Chorus for which the audience stood and sang along in customary fashion. And in hindsight, this would have been the perfect place to end the program. Instead, Harvey included the soprano aria "I know that my redeemer liveth," which was pestered with problems, and Messiah's final chorus "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain," which impressed with its crescendo of trumpets and tympani at the expense of the dynamics-challenged choir.
Messiah is a tradition that, regardless of its rendition, reminds everyone of the goodness of the Christmas season. The audience at Chenery thanked the KSO for providing that sense of nostalgia by giving them a standing ovation.

BRECKSVILLE, Ohio -- Good news for eagle watchers.
The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is open again, according to the national park.
Flooding had forced the national park to close sections, including associated parking lots from the Lock 39 Trailhead in Independence south to Botzum Trailhead in Akron. That includes a stretch of trail across the Cuyahoga River from an eagle nesting site in the Cleveland Metroparks' Brecksville Reservation. The Metroparks system closed off direct access to the site to shield the nesting pair from any disturbance that could force them to abandon the nest.
The trail in the national park is at least 150 yards from the nest.
Meanwhile, bald eagles abound in the Lake Metroparks.
"We see seven, eight even nine eagles flying over Lake Erie Bluffs at at one time," said Paul Palagyi, Lake Metroparks' executive director.
"With the strong resurgence, it is difficult to estimate how many there are or where they live," Palagyi said.
He said park personnel just spotted a nest that is not on park property, and is visible from a major thoroughfare, which is unusual for bald eagles. He declined to disclose the location because it is on private property and there is no safe way for motorists to pull off and observe.
On the other hand, Lake Metroparks is designing a 50-foot observation tower near the shore at the east end of Lake Erie Bluffs, which straddles Perry Township and Painesville Township.
"It will provide a great opportunity to see bald eagles who cruise the shoreline looking for fish, with a great view of them at eye level, as opposed to overhead," Palagyi said today.
He estimates the project could cost $250,000. A grant from the Cleveland Foundation will cover $100,000, "with our own park foundation chipping in another $60,000." The rest will come from Lake Metroparks' capital-improvement funds.
He said it could be completed by fall if this spring is dry enough for an early start on construction.
The Lake Metroparks system is currently rehabilitating a bald eagle at its wildlife center in Penitentiary Glen and hopes to release it back into the wild this year, Palagyi said. The park system already rehabbed and released another last year.
He thinks there are at least three nesting pairs within the Lake County park system, with many more drawn to the lakefront and Grand River to fish.
With or without the re-opening of the Towpath trail, bald eagles are still visible in the Cleveland Metroparks' Rocky River Reservation.
Cleveland Metroparks spokesman Joe Yanchanin said today that the best places to see the eagles that live in the Rocky River Reservation include the Cottonwood Picnic Area and South Mastic Picnic area, both off Valley Parkway just south of Puritas Road. A third vantage point is at the Rocky River Stables, off Valley Parkway between I-480 and Puritas.
He said the actual nest is difficult to view because it is in thick woods that are not easily accessible on foot, and remote observation is difficult even with powerful scopes and binoculars.

Formed: 2007
From: London, United Kingdom
Last Known Status: Active
Haken was formed in 2007 by To-Mera guitarist and keyboardist Richard Henshall and his two school friends Ross Jennings (vocals) and Matthew Marshall (guitar). The band completed their lineup with a keyboardist they met on an online forum, Peter Jones, and Jones' close friend and drummer Raymond Hearne, and To-Mera guitarist Thomas MacLean became the band's bassist. They recorded a demo in 2007 that contained two tracks, 'Snow' and 'Souls'. With the demo they began to play small live venues in London, with some good response. In 2008 they then recorded four more songs, 'Manifolds', 'Blind', 'Sleeping Thoughts Wake' and 'Black Seed', and released a full-length demo including all six existing tracks.
Later in 2008, Marshall and Jones left the band to pursue other careers. Charlie Griffiths, the guitarist for the band Linear Sphere and Anchorhead became a full time member of the band. The keyboardist Diego Tejeida joined the band in late 2008 as well. As they began to tour more, even opening a few UK shows for King's X, Sensory Records recognized them and offered them a record deal. They began recording for their debut album, Aquarius, soon after, and it was released in March 2010.
Haken released their second album, Visions, in October 2011. On June 20, 2013 Haken announced their new album, The Mountain, which will be released on September 2 by InsideOut Music. The album was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren.

Haken Posts New Song "Atlas Stone"
Progressive metallers Haken recently revealed details of the release for their forthcoming third album "The Mountain," which is due to hit the streets on the 2nd September in Europe and 17th of September 2013 in the USA. This new album will follow previous full-length "Visions" (reviewed here).
In conjunction with the UK's Prog Magazine, you can now hear the first track to be released from the album entitled "Atlas Stone." Check it out below. The band had this to say about the track:
"'Atlas Stone' has a delicate mix of soft chiming passages, jazzy interludes and crunching riffs and encapsulates the spirit of the 'The Mountain' perfectly. The song is exhilarating and uplifting but is tinged with a sense of urgency and desperation which reflects one's journey to the peak of the mountain. We can't wait to play it on our upcoming tour in September!"
Rich Henshall and Charlie Griffiths of the band also recently said of the new album: "Musically, the new songs feel rawer and more emotional than anything we've created in the past. All the essential elements of our sound are still there but have been delivered in a more gritty and focussed style. We've really pushed ourselves in all areas and truly believe that this album is a step up from any of our previous work, so we are extremely excited about sharing 'The Mountain' with everybody."

Haken Posts Snippets From New Album
Haken, which was covered in the Prog Power USA edition of our "Unearthing the Metal Underground" column, is currently working on an upcoming third album. The band has now posted the following message online about streaming a teaser for the album:
"OK, you guys have waited long enough! Head over to our bandpage now to listen to and download a few short snippets from the album 3 demo!!!! Merry Xmas guys and thanks for being so patient!"
This upcoming new release will follow the band's 2011 album "Visions" (reviewed here). Further details will be revealed shortly.
Unearthing The Metal Underground at ProgPower USA
Each week, carrying on faithfully in the tradition of bringing the bands that are currently simmering in the underground up to a rolling boil, we feature several quality underground bands in their respective genres. With the 'power' side of the ProgPower USA XIII festival already unearthed in October, the 'prog' side remains unspoken for.
The ProgPower USA festival has taken turns at skewing the balance toward one genre, but has been notorious for bringing in bands who straddle the line between both in the eyes of those with a more liberal view of things. The lines of demarcation are not very clear and the next year's roster often ends up surprising many. Fortunately, many prog bands are able to weave their way into the system and capture some attention. One such band hopped the ocean to pre-empt their 2nd album release, unveiling that they would be selling the CD months in advance at the show.
Few bands brought the prog with such unabashed love as Haken in the festival's history. As the openers of Day Two of 2011, a spot happily filled this year by fellow prog-heads Beyond The Bridge, the boys of Haken unleashed a set list that included one song from their upcoming album, "Visions" (reviewed here,) but focused mostly on the first album, "Aquarius." Multiple melodic themes are developed throughout the albums, with expert re-interpretations for emotional impact linking up with the storylines. Both albums are concept albums, and both involve songs that go beyond the 20-minute mark, showing their prog side.
Haken is a five-piece, with keyboardist and Haken main brain Richard Henshall performing both keyboard and guitar duties. Henshall and Diego Tejeida both focus on crafting synthesizer sounds not heard elsewhere, which often makes for multi-faceted lead tones.

ProgPower USA XII: Day Two
If you attend Progpower, make sure you opt for the VIP gold badge over the regular. This will get you in to the "Insider Sale" where you will be able to purchase CDs of all of the bands that will be playing at next year's festival. Gold badge attendees this year were treated to this sale in the vendor room long before the doors opened to regular attendees. Among the CDs on sale were some albums that previously had not received a US distribution, such as Amaranthe's debut.
When the doors finally opened, everyone was eager to get in and out of the bright Atlanta sun for another twelve hours. Being such an exclusive event, you could instantly strike up a conversation with any stranger you meet and be on the same page. With social barriers down, everyone was talking with everyone, discussing albums, bands, and previous ProgPower festivals.
UK-based progressive-symphonic band Haken was first up for the day, though the place was only half full about ten minutes before the band's set. Clearly, the after-parties of the night before had been great. The venue eventually filled up in time for Haken's second song. It was to be an exciting set, although a bit short. Seeing guitarists Richard Henshall and Charles Griffiths, as well as keyboardist Diego Tejeida rip some masterful solos did the trick on kicking hangovers from the night before. More...

Carlos Beltran is aging like wine -- he's getting better as he matures.
Sure, the 32-year-old New York Met is off to just about the best offensive start in baseball -- hitting .374 with 6 HR and 25 RBI.
But the guy has grown into the on-field general of a team that's been rudderless between the foul lines for two years.
Last night's come-from-behind win -- the finest moment in Citi Field's brief existence, might I add -- was the product of the center fielder taking over and imposing his will on the game.
(And a botched call by third base ump Greg Gibson, but I won't tell if you won't.)
With his team down a run, Beltran brought Citi to its feet with his ultra-clutch steal of third base in the 8th inning with one away. He looked out to me, but all that matters is Mr. Gibson signaled safe -- to the chagrin of one Larry Jones.
Beltran gamble's proved pivotal. He scored on a Luis Castillo sacrifice fly in the inning's last gasp.
In the 10th, Beltran stayed poised to work out a two-out bases-loaded walk off jittery reliever Jeff Bennett for the win.
I feel confident when Carlos is at the plate. Or on the bases. Or when the ball's hit his way.
This isn't the shy 28-year-old who hid (and sometimes shriveled) from the spotlight upon arriving in New York in 2005.
Ya gotta believe

WYOMING -- James Kulfan, the former business manager of St. John Vianney Catholic Church accused of embezzling nearly $135,000, today waived a probable cause hearing in Wyoming District Court.
Kulfan will stand trial on a charge of embezzlement of more than $100,000.
In today's brief court action, Kulfan's attorney, Frank Stanley, said he has asked prosecutors for an exact accounting of money allegedly missing from the church.
He said prosecutors have agreed to an informal meeting to determine that figure.
Wyoming Police say Kulfan wrote checks to himself and also took cash from the church. The church put losses at $134,545, with Kulfan allegedly admitting to taking about $20,000, police wrote in court records.
The money was allegedly taken between Dec. 1, 2009, and Dec. 21, 2011. Kulfan lost his job in December, police said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Here's a quick look at the next series for the Detroit Tigers:
Opponent: Pittsburgh Pirates
Site: PNC Ballpark (Monday, Tuesday) and Comerica Park (Wednesday, Thursday)
Records: Tigers, 63-52 (1st in AL Central); Pirates, 62-55 (3rd in NL Central)
Monday: RHP Justin Verlander (10-10, 4.57 ERA) vs. LHP Jeff Locke (3-3, 3.78 ERA), 7:05 p.m., FSD
Tuesday: TBD vs. RHP Edinson Volquez (9-7, 3.70 ERA), 7:05 p.m., FSD, MLB Network
Wednesday: LHP Robbie Ray (1-1, 4.70 ERA) or TBD vs. RHP Vance Worley (5-1, 2.30 ERA), 7:08 p.m., FSD
Thursday: RHP Max Scherzer (13-4, 3.13 ERA) vs. TBD, 1:08 p.m., FSD
Scouting the Pirates: Neither Andrew McCutchen nor Neil Walker were on the disabled list as of Sunday. But neither one of them was in the lineup either. McCutchen is hitting .311 with 17 home runs, 67 RBIs, 17 stolen bases and a .947 OPS this season, but he has not played since Aug. 3 due to an avulsion rib fracture. Walker, second on the team with 50 RBIs, had just one at-bat this weekend due to lower back tightness and appears to be headed to the disabled list. That should make things slightly easier on the starting pitchers the Tigers send to the mound this week in back-to-back two-game series between the two teams. The Pirates are third in the National League in batting average, OPS and runs scored, but McCutchen and Walker will be missed. Pirates pitchers are 10th in the National League in ERA and eighth in WHIP. The Pirates currently reside in the second wild-card spot in the National League and are still in contention for the NL Central title.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Jerome Smith received an invitation to the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, he posted on his Instagram account.
Smith led Syracuse in rushing for the second straight season this year, finishing with 914 yards and 13 total touchdowns.
He declared for the NFL Draft the week before Syracuse defeated Minnesota in Friday night's Texas Bowl, 21-17. After the game, Smith explained his decision to forego his final year of eligibility by saying, "It was my time. I did as much as I could." He graduated earlier this month.
The combine will be held Feb. 18-25 in Indianapolis.

Install Nemo With Unity Patches (And Without Cinnamon Dependencies) In Ubuntu
Nemo, the default Cinnamon file manager, needs Cinnamon to be installed, even if you want to use it in some other desktop environment such as GNOME/Unity. That's not the only issue that makes using the latest Nemo under Unity difficult – Cinnamon 2.0 breaks Unity in Ubuntu 13.10, Nemo no longer draws the desktop icons and so on.I wanted to use the latest Nemo under Unity, but without Cinnamon dependencies so I used the Nautilus Unity patches modified for Nemo by Jacob Zimmermann, which I updated to work with the latest Nemo 2.0.3, and I also added some extra patches to remove the Cinnamon dependencies (except for cinnamon-translations but that shouldn't be an issue), re-enable Nemo to handle the desktop icons and allow Nemo to use GNOME Control Center to change the desktop background or set a picture as wallpaper via context menu.Since some of you might want to use this modified Nemo in Unity, I uploaded it along with its extensions to a PPA, so you can easily install and use it under Unity (Ubuntu 13.10, 13.04, 12.10 and 12.04).With these changes, you can completely replace Nautilus with Nemo in Unity, without having to install Cinnamon. Why use Nemo?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Dongan Hills woman faces drug possession and felony drunken-driving charges after, police allege, she crashed into two cars, one of them parked, in Midland Beach Tuesday afternoon.
Police say Cathryn Trifeletti, 52, of Hancock Street, smelled of booze, slurred her words and was unsteady on her feet after the crash, which happened on Mapleton Avenue. She refused to take a blood alcohol test and, according to a law enforcement source, was combative towards police and hospital staff after the crash.
Police also found a hydrocodone pill at Ms. Trifeletti's feet in the car, court papers allege.
Ms. Trifeletti, who was convicted on a drunken-driving charge in April 2004, now faces a charge of felony operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, as well as misdemeanor drunken- and impaired-driving charges, and a single count of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
In an unrelated incident, police arrested another motorist, Christina M. Molinaro of the 200 block of Maryland Avenue, on charges of reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle while impaired after she was accused of tailgating and speeding on the West Shore Expressway just before 10 p.m.
Police allege her blood alcohol level measured at .079 percent - just a hair shy of the .08 percent threshold for the more serious operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated charge.

HARTFORD, Vt. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A teenager from Northern New Jersey was being held in Vermont Tuesday, on charges that he sexually assaulted a woman.
Rafael Jaquez, 18, of North Bergen, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Superior Court in Vermont to two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of cocaine possession. He was ordered held on $275,000 bail.
The Rutland Herald reported that a 23-year-old Springfield, Vt., woman told police she was assaulted last weekend after being lured to a Springfield apartment and drugged. Officials say she was held against her will by a group of teenagers known as the "Jersey boys," who police say are affiliated with a New Jersey gang.
Jaquez was also charged with cocaine possession after police say they found an energy drink can with a hidden compartment containing drugs.
Two other teens from New Jersey – Daniel "DeeJay" Morales, 17, and Matthew "Money Matt" Frangos, 16 — also face heroin trafficking charges, the newspaper reported.

Yahoo! Pipes pushed three new modules live today. The Yahoo! Shortcuts module analyzes an input string for popular entities, such as person, place, and concept, and will return additional information about each entity found. The Term Extractor module analyzes an input string for significant words or phrases and appends them as a sub-element under each item containing the results of the analysis. Finally, the The Web Service module does an HTTP POST of items in a pipe in JSON format to an external web service of your choosing. Read more details and try examples of the Shortcuts and Term Extraction modules here. Read about the Web Service module here.

Shopping for clothes
Do you let your children help shop for their wardrobe? How do they do?
Yes, I let my dd help. She usually picks out colors and patterns that are bolder than the ones that I'd chose, but that's okay.
I do let let them help, my four years old loves to pick her clothes!
Kind of. Usually we shop clearance. But my 3 year old will be right there with me.
My daughter is 10 so she has a say. She knows what she likes and she likes to be covered so I don't worry about things not being appropriate. I am still teaching her how to put things together but she is doing pretty well. She does love things that I pick out for her though.
I let my Ds "help"
He's only 6 lol But he does well with it.
Little by little I've let her make more and more decisions-within guidelines and budget that we've set. She's become a very discriminating shopper.
