Offensive Players of the Week06/03/2013 12:30 PM ET
MiLB.com Staff
Here's a look at the top offensive performers in each league for the week ending June 2:
International League
Following a lull at the beginning of last month, Myers really turned it on in the final week of May. He homered and tallied five RBIs on Monday and followed that up with a two-homer performance a day later. He drove in multiple runs in four of his six games last week and is now second in the IL with 46 RBIs -- nearly a third of which came in those half-dozen contests last week.
Pacific Coast League
Calhoun broke a bone in his right hand in his very first game this season and was forced to miss six weeks before returning on May 19, but he looked to be in midseason form last week. He collected multiple hits in five of his seven games and also homered and drove in three on both Monday and Saturday. The Angels' No. 5 prospect, who split the year between the Bees and the Angels last year, owns a .387/.466/.581 slash line through his first 15 games in the PCL this season.
Eastern League
The 27-year-old third baseman entered the week with a paltry .141/.262/.261 slash line in his first 26 games of the season with the Baysox. But after his monster seven games, those three numbers jumped to .198/.326/.431. Waring, who also had only nine RBIs before the week began, homered in five of the seven contests and drove in runs during six of those games. The highlight came on a walk-off single against Reading on Thursday.
Southern League
The 25-year-old catcher was only just added to the Biscuits lineup on May 20, but he's certainly made up for lost time ever since. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs in a 10-0 win over Mississippi on Wednesday and added his first home run since 2011 in a 4-for-5 performance against Pensacola on Sunday, all the while missing the cycle by just a triple. His five RBIs this week have already matched his 2012 output in 24 games between Class A Bowling Green and Class A Advanced Montgomery.
Biscuits' Castillo homers off Rogers
Texas League
The Astros' No. 3 prospect was already putting together one of the best offensive seasons in the Minors before he broke out again this past week. He started by homering twice and bringing home five against Arkansas on Monday and concluded with another five-RBI output -- all in the first inning -- against the Travelers on Sunday. His 17 homers lead all Minor Leaguers while his 47 RBIs, .640 slugging percentage and 1.057 OPS lead the Texas League through the first two months of the season.

California League
A seventh-round pick in last June's Draft out of the University of Florida, Tucker has thrived in his first full professional season within the Astros organization. His 17-game hitting streak is the second longest active streak, behind only Chris Owings' 21-gamer for Triple-A Reno. Speaking of streaks, he tallied multiple RBIs in six straight games to close out the week, a run started by a six-RBI night in a 10-2 win over Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday. In total, his 57 RBIs stand 12 clear of his nearest competitor in the category for the Cal League.
Carolina League
Hefflinger hadn't developed much of a reputation as a power hitter, having never hit more than 16 home runs in any of his previous four professional seasons in the Braves system. But after going deep five times last week, he's already matched that total -- achieved in 121 games last season between Class A Rome and Lynchburg -- in 68 fewer contests and 213 fewer at-bats. Most of that power came in the middle of the week, when he homered four times in a three-game stretch against Myrtle Beach from Tuesday to Thursday. He is tied with West Virginia's Stetson Allie and free agent Kila Ka'aihue (previously of Reno) for the No. 2 spot in home runs among Minor Leaguers.
Florida State League
The 24-year-old outfielder has completed a 180-degree turn since putting together a .203/.304/.373 line in 48 games for the Mets' Class A Advanced club following a June promotion last year. After stumbling out of the gate (.228/.347/.380) in April, those numbers are up to .303/.398/.562 after a stellar finish to May/beginning to June. His four homers in his last four games -- including three in a Sunday doubleheader against Charlotte -- doubled his output in the category to eight on the season.
Midwest League
Drury, who was acquired by the D-backs in the Justin Upton trade with the Braves, has flourished in his new environment thus far with the Silver Hawks. The 2011 Appalachian League Player of the Year batted just .229 with a .603 OPS for Class A Rome in 2012 but is putting up much better numbers (.327, .914) in the Midwest League, where he ranks third in both average and OPS. With five home runs in his last five games pushing his total to seven, he has already surpassed his 2012 output (six) and sits one shy of his career high.
Silver Hawks' Drury homers off Amezcua
South Atlantic League
After his first shot with the Tourists ended in a demotion last season, the Rockies' No. 12 prospect has begun to show his true potential at the plate in his second go-round with the club. He started last week with homers in three straight games and finished it with two hits in four consecutive contests. The shortstop ranks second in the Sally League with a .343 average through 52 games and leads the circuit with a .435 OBP.

St. Petersburg, Florida
Human Rights Walkathon Seeks Education to Prevent Abuse
March 5, 2011
On Saturday, March 5th a coalition of human rights groups: the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, Youth for Human Rights Florida, United for Human Rights and the Human Rights Group Inc., in coordination with the City of St. Petersburg, held the 5th Annual Human Rights Walkathon in North Straub Park, in downtown St. Petersburg. The walk's purpose was to bring about public awareness of the extensive violations of human rights ongoing in the world today.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, over 800,000 victims are trafficked across international boarders each year, and the human trafficking industry is now a $3.16 billion industry worldwide.
Through their individual and collective actions, the coalition of groups is demanding a halt to human trafficking and other human rights violations including slavery, torture, child labor.
Speakers and entertainment followed the walkathon. The event was free and many passers-by joined in the walk and other activities.
Speakers included:
Sarasota Mayor Kelly M. Kirschner. Mayor Kelly M. Kirschner works with immigrants rights group, Unidos Now. More information on the group can be found at www.unidosnow.org.
Telisia Espinosa, human trafficking survivor. Through adversity, degradation and hardship as a human trafficked victim, Telisia has gained understanding, self respect, and a change of life with a purpose. She is on a campaign to educate others on her experiences.
Linda Drazkowski, representative of Youth for Human Rights. "Education is the first step in stomping out human rights violations," says event founder and human rights advocate Linda Drazkowski. "Our goal is to help unite all people in human rights and to make these rights a reality. We believe that through education we can end war, discrimination and intolerance."
The purpose of the Human Rights Walkathon is to forward the rights set forth and proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10th, 1948. Rights laid out by the declaration include: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights," and "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." Videos of each of the thirty human rights, as well as the complete United Nations Declaration of Human Rights can be found at www.youthforhumanrights.org.
The Human Rights Walkathon is co-sponsored by the City of St. Petersburg and presented by United for Human Rights, Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, Youth for Human Rights Florida and The Human Rights Group.

In the early 2000s, an acquaintance told Sun about the possibility of doing business in Ethiopia.
And then she realizes, through an acquaintance, that there is still something better out there.
acquaintance made another "appointment" for the next month as well, and I again agreed to give the person a ride.
Cain acknowledged knowing White, telling CNN she was an "acquaintance" he had tried to help.
He insulted a female poet of his acquaintance by remarking "that she and her family were Jews."
Does he come under the recommendatory 'firman' of any dear friend or acquaintance?
Then, knowing Hokar was safe, he went into the bar to make the acquaintance of his other victim.
But my acquaintance with him is wholly of a public character.
He had had some acquaintance with me, but the rest of the party were strangers.
My questions are these—Have you put an end to that acquaintance?
c.1300, "state of being acquainted;" late 14c., "person with whom one is acquainted;" also "personal knowledge;" from Old French acointance "acquaintance, friendship, familiarity," noun of action from acointer (see acquaint). Acquaintant (17c.), would have been better in the "person known" sense but is now obsolete.

Necessity: The mother of inventionMarch 1, 2008
Necessity, it has been said, is the mother of invention. Ken Nixon and his two brothers have demonstrated the truth of that adage, in their case inventing an innovative way to help meet the daily needs of their mother who had Alzheimer's disease (AD). With funding from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), they created a multi-purpose, Internet-based system called AttentiveCare, which has been further developed and is currently being field-tested by others faced with long-distance caregiving challenges.
The Nixon brothers, like so many long-distance caregivers, needed to solve a difficult problem—how to care for their mother and enable her to remain in her own home as long as possible when they were hundreds of miles from her.
"We were facing a tough question: What are we going to do with Mom? She wanted to stay where she was," reflects Ken Nixon of Oklahoma City.
Back in 2001, broadband Internet service had just become available in their mother's Arkansas rural community, so the brothers put their heads together and came up with the idea of using videoconferencing to keep in touch with her. They installed a computer with a webcam in her home so they could check on her daily, helping fulfill her wish to continue living independently on the family farm while assuring themselves that she was faring well, Ken explains.
"We had a need, and we patched the system together at first. It exceeded our expectations in being able to keep our mother independent and connected to the family. We could call and have coffee with her every morning and it got her day started off right. She had something to look forward to every day—one or two of her boys were going to visit."
After 6 months of using the home-grown system themselves, Ken Nixon decided to develop it to help other caregivers. He applied for and in 2003 received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from NIA to refine the AttentiveCare prototype and test its feasibility in providing informal, long-distance care to people with AD.
He later received a Phase II SBIR grant to evaluate the software, services, and caregiver usage and benefits of the system in a variety of caregiving situations. Phase II study participants are caregivers of people with early-to moderate-stage AD who have had the AttentiveCare system installed in their own homes and the homes of their family members with AD.
In addition, Nixon has received research and development funding from the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology.
AttentiveCare now features videoconferencing, multimedia reminders to help care recipients function independently, and slide shows to keep care recipients connected with family. The system's journal and data logging capability also allows multiple caregivers to maintain and share information about the care recipient's health and well-being, whether they are across the street or thousands of miles away.
"This project is an excellent example of how a real need, in this case the challenge of long-distance caregiving for people with AD, can be addressed through research and the inspiration of individuals at the grassroots level," says Sidney M. Stahl, Ph.D., program officer and chief of the Individual Behavioral Processes Branch of NIA's Behavioral and Social Research Program.
Nixon reports that his company's research has shown the system to be well-accepted by caregivers and care recipients alike. "There was not a large body of knowledge about how computer-based technology can be used with people with dementia," he says. "One of the questions we needed to answer was what capability does a person with dementia need to use the system. Our research has shown that if users still have language capability and can follow directions, they can effectively interface with their caregivers using the system."

After two weeks, ten different candidates and endless hours spent in interview rooms, the New York Jets finally announced the hiring of John Idzik to direct their front office. The Jets were the last of five NFL teams to fill their vacant general manager position, conducting a thorough interview process led by executive search firm Korn/ Ferry. Idzik, who spent the past six seasons as Seattle's vice president of football administration, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to a Jets team seeking to retool its roster and return to championship contention.
"During his two decades in the NFL, John helped build a Super Bowl championship team in Tampa Bay, an NFC championship team in Arizona and, most recently, a team in Seattle that narrowly missed reaching the NFC championship game," noted Jets owner Woody Johnson. "John has seen first-hand what's necessary to construct a winning team and has worked with some of the most innovative and successful coaches in the NFL, including Pete Carroll, Tony Dungy, Dennis Green, Jon Gruden and Mike Holmgren. Drawing on 20 years of NFL experience, John, working with Rex, will get the Jets where all of us want to be."
While Idzik's resume speaks for itself, the Jets find themselves in uncharted waters facing a hellish salary cap situation, a roster devoid of quality depth and major contract negotiations on the horizon. With the unenviable task of transforming the circus-like Jets into a feared opponent, Idzik is embracing the challenge ahead of him.
"I am honored and extremely excited to be joining the New York Jets," said Idzik. "It has been very enlightening getting to know Mr. Woody Johnson, Rex Ryan and Neil Glat and I am very grateful for them making me feel very welcomed as a member of the Jets family. I am eager to get started building on the foundation that is already in place."
Jets owner and CEO Woody Johnson announced that an introductory press conference will be held for Idzik on Thursday, January 24, at 11am.

I tested it quite a few times, and the possibilities are just great ! I found it easier and more flexible to use than SET. The code is very clean, very understandable. I'm aware of updates that should come when it's ready, and it will be even greater
As I already told Torpedo, but for everyone to see, here's my suggestion : differentiate the IP used in the payload and the handler so that IP WAN can be used.
Thanks for the tool !

Down on the farm(ers market) with Linux
Colonel Panik, my good friend and constant commenter to this blog, asked me to give you all some insights about what we're finding at the Felton Farmers Market every Tuesday.
An order is an order, and Bob does outrank me.
So here's what we're finding in Felton:
More people are using Linux than come to the Felton LUG meeting: We've encountered roughly a dozen people in two weeks who live in Felton who use Linux who we've never seen at a meeting. My oft-echoed question, "Have you heard of Linux?" has been met with a constant "Yes," and many of the people who have, and who have used (or are using) it are already using Ubuntu. I like to think this has something to do with the Lindependence events back in 2008, not to mention the Software Freedom Day events we've had here since 2007, but there's no hard evidence to back this up. It's just a hunch.
Most people are looking for digital alternatives: There are only a handful of people — I can only think of two in two weeks that we've had the table — that have no interest in FOSS after explaining what it is. In fact, a lot of people are looking for alternatives to the laundry list of maladies that accompany their daily Windows experience. In fact, easing them into FOSS with the OpenCD is a good way to introduce them to programs like OpenOffice.org and GIMP, and eventually we can get them to change operating systems to something — oh, I don't know — free as in freedom and price?
". . . I haven't used it, but my $FAMILY_MEMBER has": This is a common response by those who have not used Linux/FOSS themselves. This is a promising sign. Even though they may not be using it, at least they're aware of it. Those who went home with a disk hopefully will know more about it and come back the following week with questions.
There are other things that amaze me: The Google engineer who stopped by the table — "Oh, I'd better know what Linux is." — and others who work "over the hill," as we call the Silicon Valley, who would stop with strawberries in hand to take a look at what we had, and take a disk or two to try out. Also, what amazes me is that a lot of youngsters — teens, of course — who have used FOSS and don't mind spending their time at the table talking about things like "Will GIMP ever have only one window?"
Thanks for helping at the booth so far go to: Bob Lewis, my partner in Felton LUG organizing, who is one of the most sensible and passionate Linux evangelists I know; Karsten Wade, who brings his vast knowledge and rapier-quick wit, and OpenSource.com swag, to the table; Frank Adamson, the Ubuntu-using octogenarian who took his daily mile-walk to come to staff the table; and to Peter Belew, for making his talents available at the table.
See you next Tuesday. Coming up next: Reports from OSCON.

Thanks Larry. Thats the kind of info we can build on.
I do not think that Linux et al is digging it's way out of
the grave like some kind of zombie. People really do know
about Linux, and unless they are paid to do that proprietary
OS they seem very open (I know….) to the concept.
One window GIMP? Yeah we will get that just as soon as
they license winders under GPL3.
The entire Felton Linux Posse may OD on Karma.

Idk I don't think I would just to conclusions. Obviously they would never use another phone but they could make one up to put I'n place as that icon ?! :/
That almost looks identical to the samsung "note"
Samsung Merges Smartphone and Tablet to Create 'Note' (Phone Scoop)
That's nothing but an icon. It doesn't represent or hint at ANYTHING. All this wound-up excitement over a design change is a waste of time.....and whoever did that "mock-up" must really be hoping for something that isn't happening yet. The iPhone 4S/5 will have the same design as the iPhone 4.
Haha, I have been watching all these rumours avidly as I'm hanging out for the new iPhone. Got my 3gs two years ago, but I just have this mental picture of Steve Jobs and his team slipping out all these tidbits and having a good old chuckle as us piranha's go on a feeding frenzy. Anyone good at cartoons?
I had the king of the hill Samsung Galaxy S2 Android phone...for 10 days. I returned it and stayed with my iPhone 4. didn't do nearly all the things i wanted that the iPhone did and the monster screen had lower resolution so it looked like watching 720P video on a 1080p tv.
the lack of apps was the finisher for me.
I too am curious what a rooted droid can do that a jailbroken iphone can't? I have never dropped a call with my iPhone 4...and i am on iWireless

What do you expect? I can build a sturdier one myself. Cover is cheap and ripped already.
Cover is Useless
By CRM
from North Carolina
Don't buy this because of the nifty cover - it's totally useless. It was in shreds after one use. The caps on the feet must be trimmed to fit, so have a utility knife on hand when assembling. The rack is sturdy and the paint looks good. We'll see how it hold up through one winter season.
would buy only if...
By Heidi
from New York
great stand for wood. we stacked the wood and put the covers on (we bought two)...the next day we went out to get in the car and noticed that both covers on the stands were ripping. we got back to the house later that night and the one had a rip down the length of the cover...where ever it touches the wood. we had to go spend $30 or so on a thick tarp to cover our wood.
Don't get excited
I was so happy to get rid of the flapping tarp covering my firewood. But this cover is extremely thin and flimsy, and was ripped in multiple places after only one WEEK of use. Also, the plastic feet are too large, and need to be trimmed with a blade on the side where they meet. It added time and frustration to the set-up process. But the rack itself is sturdy.
Rack is great, cover already ripped

The only thing that could have made me happier is a better cover. Other than that, I am thrilled with this. I was surprised at how much wood it holds.

the rack was good for the log during winter month. the cover was so cheap, it rip after 2 weeks of uses. They should a heavy material and not paper.

Noting the time when you express breast milk
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share something which I learnt at my breastfeeding support group yesterday that I hope you will find helpful.
When you are expressing breast milk to feed to your baby on another day, it is a good idea to note the time that you expressed the breast milk. This is because breast milk is different at different times of the day. For example, breast milk which is expressed at night will contain more of the 'sleepy hormones' which help mums to fall back to sleep during the night feeds. You can then feed your baby the milk which was expressed at the equivalent time of day.
I found this really interesting - I am constantly impressed at how amazing, and adaptable, breast milk is.
Best wishes,

That is interesting information and makes sense. However, as a mum who had to pump for 5 days, while my infant had open heart surgery, I think I was too stressed and tired (after spending so many hours in ICU) that I would have forgotten to note the time most of the time.
I ended up feeding that milk to another newborn when I cared for him for the first few days after his mother went back to work (she was happy for her son to receive the milk). I didn't notice the baby being any more or less "sleepy" from the milk he received, even though I didn't know what time of day I had expressed.
Very interesting information, but I'd encourage mums not to be too concerned about being sure bub is given milk at the proper time, from the proper expression (matching times). If you need to pump during the day because you're going to be away in the evening, it's totally fine. Bub will have a full tummy and you can enjoy your evening "getaway".
Warm regards,

That's interesting information LJ, it makes sense and thank you so much for sharing. While I agree that it is not super important I do think it is cool information and it definitely wouldn't hurt. I always put the time on mine anyway. That way you know when it has maxed out the time it can be a room temperature, etc.
9th July 2012 10:24 PM #4
I can't imagine how tiring and difficult a time it must have been for you Kate when you expressed during the time your baby had open heart surgery. Certainly I would agree that if a mum is having to express a lot (e.g. because her baby is away from her in the special care unit) then the time of expressing could just be an added burden and the best thing is that the baby is receiving the breast milk anyway- an amazing food to give your baby under such difficult circumstances.
Perhaps this information is more relevant for mums who are just expressing occasionally.
Thanks for both your comments,

Thanks for the positive words, Sponge. I am looking at it this way; I will be making positive progress when next I go out I get two feet further than the last time :) in the interim I am trying reading sets and breaks as I try to catch any profferings from the soup ;D.
you got a very very long road to hoe if youre working toward losing kook status dude. and the surf shop guy was just being nice and trying to sell you stuff
it's 'row' to hoe
Surfing is hard; I'm not expecting anything but needing keeping at it to even master paddling before I get to the next step of riding. As to the fellow that helped me from the shop, I have no misunderstandings where I stand with him in regards to his "just being nice" because, just so long as he is nice is enough. If I build up friends here that will accept me as a friend, I'm sure that will happen over time. I've met a lot of very cool people while out at the beaches. I've even made some that I can say are my friend :)
And if anyone in CI for the week wants to stop at the "Inn", I will be here on the deck bar most evenings this week if you want to stop in, have a beer on my tab, and talk surfing and whatever.
i just like figures of speech.calm down.a farmer hoes rows
i aint farmin and gruvi most assuredly hoes roads,or rows or hoes,whateva. ps, i guess road doesnt make sense,huh
That's awesome, Gruvi...that's the only way your going to get good at surfing, because after all if you can't get out to the wave it's kinda hard to surf the wave. Get it, gruv! Paddle..Paddle..

Logan • Chuckie Keeton watched from the stands of Romney Stadium as Utah State students rushed the field in celebration of a landmark victory over BYU.
That moment his official visit on a chilly fall night in 2010 sealed his desire to become an Aggie and play for Gary Andersen. Keeton's friends warned him that he committed to a school without any kind of winning football tradition. They told him that he would do more losing than winning, and that his life would be miserable because of it.
That's not how Keeton saw it.
"When I committed to Utah State, I wanted to play in games that mean something," he said this week. "We've done that. We've put ourselves in position to make this a memorable season."
The Aggies can turn their season into one they'll never forget Saturday afternoon, meeting Louisiana Tech in Ruston, La., with the Western Athletic Conference title on the line.
History suggests when taking into account everything Utah State can accomplish that this just may be the biggest regular-season game the Aggies have played, at least in the modern era.
A program with precious little football history, Utah State has never won 10 games (USU won nine in 1961). The Aggies have never gone unbeaten in the WAC. They have never beaten a ranked opponent on the road. They haven't been ranked since 1961.
"In terms of the stakes and the chance to win a championship and what it all means, this is as big a game as we have ever played," USU athletic director Scott Barnes said. "This will be our first chance in many years to crack the Top 25. The buzz and the atmosphere on campus is electric. We are on the verge of a historic season."
Barnes envisioned this day when he hired coach Gary Andersen prior to the 2009 season. Andersen has repeatedly talked about the goal of playing important games in November, and turning the end of the season into a meaningful time for the players and the program.
It has been a steady climb. USU went 4-8 in each of Andersen's first two seasons, then broke through for a 7-6 finish last year, led by stars Robert Turbin and Bobby Wagner, a pair of Brent Guy recruits who have gone on to the NFL with Seattle.
And while the general consensus heading into this season suggested USU would struggle without Wagner and Turbin, not many noticed that Andersen put together three straight solid recruiting classes.
That depth and athleticism, plus Keeton's emergence as a star, has allowed Utah State to explode this year. The Aggies are two missed kicks away from being 10-0 instead of 8-2. Defensively, they are listed in the top six in the country in three categories.
Keeton and senior running back Kerwynn Williams lead an offense that has scored at least 30 points in every WAC game. Even USU's special teams, a liability in recent years, has significantly improved.
"That's what excites me the most," Barnes said. "This is not a one-year deal. We have the depth and talent throughout the program to make this a sustainable run."
It has been 38 years since Utah State has won eight of its first 10 games. The Aggies are 13-3 in their last 16 games the best stretch for the program since 1971. In all, Utah State has won a school-record nine consecutive conference games. The Aggies' 4-0 start to conference play is the best stretch for the program since 2000.
While the program has improved on the field, the facilities have improved significantly as well. That's why the Aggies received and accepted an invitation to the Mountain West Conference six months ago. That's why Barnes has moved swiftly to extend Andersen's contract, hoping to fend off potential BCS schools looking for a coach in the offseason.
The future of the program has never looked brighter. Utah State is on the verge of making football history. A second straight bowl appearance is assured. The Aggies of the Merlin Olsen era are back.
"Obviously, this is a huge game for us, as well as Louisiana Tech," Andersen said. "I think it's fun to be involved in a game that has this much on the outcome, this late in the season. It's a great accomplishment by both sides to get to this point. We are very upbeat about our ability to compete in this game."

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Columnist
It's the Edmonds Egg Hunt. No, organizers did not forget to add a word — Easter.
"We just want to respect all of our community," said Tammy Rankins, recreation coordinator for Edmonds Parks, Recreation &Cultural Services. "No matter what my religious belief is, we want to be aware of who's making up our community. We are definitely not all Christians."
She doesn't see skipping Easter in describing an egg hunt as "anti-Christian."
More than 1,000 people are expected at the Edmonds event, set for 10 a.m. Saturday at the Frances Anderson Center field, 700 Main St.
Hosted by the city, the hunt is funded by private sponsors, including two Edmonds Rotary clubs, Sound Women's Care and Nama's Candy Store, Rankins said.
Edmonds isn't the first place to have an egg hunt without acknowledging Easter. Last year, a blogger in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y., wrote about that community's Spring Egg Hunt, even adding "not to be confused with the Easter Egg Hunt." Bill O'Reilly, host of Fox TV's "The O'Reilly Factor," has updated what he earlier called a "war on Christmas," saying Thursday that a "war on Judeo-Christian tradition" is back for the Easter season.
Marysville is one of several area cities following tradition, calling its public event the Marysville Parks Easter Egg Hunt.
"Ours has always been an Easter egg hunt. It's affiliated with the Easter season," Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew said Tuesday. "In 25 years we've never had a complaint about the affiliation with Easter," he said.
That's not the case in Edmonds, Rankins said. She said that last year someone complained about the city being involved in an egg hunt at all. Edmonds has hosted a community egg hunt for decades, she said.
"We hear the same debate with Christmas, with happy holidays and winter break," said Jerry Schiffelbein, president of Humanists of Washington. He doesn't mind Easter egg hunts or Christmas trees in public places, but said the group would take issue with a religious display in a park. Easter and Christmas, he said, are secular as well as religious celebrations.
Marysville's egg hunt is at 10 a.m. Saturday in Jennings Memorial Park, 6915 Armar Road. Like the Edmonds hunt on public land, it happens thanks to private donors. At both the Edmonds and Marysville egg hunts, which are free, participants are encouraged to bring nonperishable food to be donated to their communities' food banks.
Steve Fulton, owner of a State Farm Insurance business at Smokey Point, has been the Marysville egg hunt's primary sponsor for about seven years. He was amazed the first year he went to the hunt and saw thousands of kids and families. "It was a blast," he said.
Since then, Fulton said, the egg hunt has become a venue for encouraging people to grow "giving gardens" that can provide the Marysville Food Bank with fresh produce come summertime. "It's a very significant community event," he said.
Describing himself as an evangelical Christian, Fulton said that Easter eggs, like Christmas trees, are borrowed from pagan traditions. Taking Easter out of the celebration is "a shame," he said.
"Sometimes we hide special events behind the curtain, with everybody's beliefs in mind," said Ballew, adding that he has seen that with Halloween in schools.
And while Everett welcomed the 2012 December holidays with a public event called Wintertide, Marysville held its annual Merrysville for the Holidays, with a parade and photo opportunities with Santa.
Bill Toskey is an Edmonds Rotary member involved with that city's egg hunt. About the word Easter, Toskey said "the Rotary Club does not have an official position." Personally, he sees no harm in calling it an Easter egg hunt. His family didn't go to church when he was a boy, Toskey said, "yet my mother had Easter egg hunts and baskets."
This year, his club is donating baskets for families helped by YWCA Seattle-King-Snohomish. At the agency's request, he said, they are "spring baskets."
Why should cities be involved in egg hunts at all?
"Events bring people out. You're meeting your neighbors. It creates the community," Rankins said. Michael Stevens, a Marysville City Council member, agrees. "These are the events that I really love in Marysville and other small communities," Stevens said. "It's participation at will. We at the city are not pushing any message."
Stevens did state the obvious, that "Easter hunts came as a result of the Easter holiday."
"Why ignore that?" he said. In Edmonds, the answer is about respecting others. It's not chocolate, but it is food for thought.
Happy hunting.
UPDATE: The City of Edmonds released this statement this afternoon and asked that it be posted: The City of Edmonds is excited to be working with various sponsors to provide an Edmonds Egg Hunt for this community on March 30, 10:00 am, Frances Anderson Center Field. This event has been happening for the past 30+ years at City Park. This year, due to popularity, we changed the venue to the Frances Anderson Center field. The City, in the spirit of being inclusive of all of our citizens, decided to name this event the Edmonds Egg Hunt in the year 2000, and is not new for this community. We have received no complaints about this until this year following a recent Everett Herald news article. The removal of specific religious references is common throughout many cities recreation departments, schools, and other government agencies. We want to recognize and welcome all citizens to our events, regardless of faith.

Air up.
Having a stash of cartridges at home, work, or in the car will help ensure you're always prepared for a flat attack. The 2-Pack Genuine Innovations 20g Threaded Cartridges are compatible with the Air Chuck, NANO, Ultraflate Plus, and many other threaded inflators. The 20g canisters are perfect for larger volume mountain bike tires. It'll inflate a 29 x 2.1in tire to 32 psi, or a 26 x 2.3in to 40 psi.

They should all be 20g
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Higher volume tires means we all need a bit more volume in our C02 canisters. Get the 20g and an inflater with a cut off valve (I use the Portland Design Works Shiny Object); you'll have plenty of air to blast the bead back on to the rim if it comes unseated and you're running tubeless.
Work well for 27.5 or 29er
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used these cartridges many times before and they work well at inflating to adequate pressure. Not much else to say, they work or they don't and these do.
Perfect for 29er
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are the gold standard for CO2 cartridges, and the 20 gram size is perfect for a 29er tire, with some to spare. Your arms will thank you for not having to pump up your tire after that spicy singletrack you just shredded a little too hard.
Fill those mountain tires
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These work great for high volume tires. They fill my 27.5 tires up to about 27 psi. Lotz of air
20g for the MTB
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Standard C02 cartridge. Something to keep in mind though - You want the 20g for a 27.5 wheel and definitely want it for a 29er wheel. I've tried to fill a 29er / 2.25" tire with 16g before and it just results in riding a semi-flat tire to the trail exit.
premium co2
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I only put the best co2 in my tires. this stuff is the sh!t
The 16g size will fill a road tire with a little to spare and maybe all you need to carry. The 20g size is a party in a shiny metal tube.
Easy and Does the Job
Best Co2
Can't ask for anything more
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's a CO2 cartridge. It works like it's supposed to.
Pssssssssss - werd
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Best for the newer line of wider 25mm road tires :) Filling a 25mm road tire only gets you - eh, so much - go big is thhe werd :)
Great For 29ers
These 20g cartridges are rated by Innovations to fill up a 29" mountain bike tire to 43 psi or two 26" tires to 24 psi. These are a lifesaver to have on the trail when you get caught with a flat. They involve much less work than a hand pump and can easily achieve higher pressures. Don't forget an inflator and to replace the CO2 with air once you get home.
The Specs Listed On The Back Of The Box
great item
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are awesome to take on the trail. Combined with the co2 inflater head this is an easy way to get quick air into your flat without having the wear your arm out using a traditional mini pump. Remember, this is just a temp fix to get you out of the woods. Always let the co2 air back out of the tube and re inflate with a standard pump. Co2 air is compressed and is lighter than standard air so it will seep out over time.
Great piece of mind
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I used to carry hand pump for mountain biking and they works if you need to pump 10-20 psi but you hand get tired if you need to get 30-45 pis into your tire. I usually carry 2 in my backpack for long rides. You never know when you will need them.
Can never have enough air
Stash two of these away somewhere you'll find them when you really need them.

Jean - from Williamston, SC
First, find firm, non-poisonous leaves. Lemon leaves are a favorite of ours - some grocery stores and florists have them carry them, but they can be ordered, if necessary. Wash and thoroughly dry the leaves. Melt Candy Melts or other chocolate candy following package instructions. Paint the dry leaves with the melted candy – several coats are usually needed. Allow to dry and harden completely. Gently pull the leaf off the hardened candy – perfect chocolate leaves!

'D'-Listers: Top second and third basemen
Red Sox's Betts, Cubs' Villanueva top elite defenders at second, third
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | March 10, 2014 10:00 AM ET
In recent weeks, we've highlighted the Minor Leagues' best defensive catchers, shortstops and center fielders. Today, we turn to second and third basemen.
You'll notice these lists are more concise than the other up-the-middle positions already highlighted. There's a reason for that: in the Minors, like in high school and college, the best defenders tend to gravitate toward the middle of the field. Shortstop is the most difficult of the infield positions, requiring the greatest combination of quickness, arm strength, soft hands and instincts. Often, a third baseman is a converted shortstop lacking the lateral quickness required up the middle. Similarly, second basemen are generally shortstops without the arm strength or polish to play on the left side.
That doesn't mean, however, that second and third baseman can't make an impact defensively, even if they play lower on the defensive spectrum. Here are some of the prospects considered top-notch defenders at second and third -- we'll tackle first base and right field later this week.
Second Base
Mookie Betts, Red Sox: Betts became more than just a notable moniker on the prospect scene in 2013, primarily because of his bat, but what the Tennessee native accomplished with the glove was no small feat. A shortstop since being selected in the fifth round of the 2011 Draft, he transitioned to second during the 2012 season. By the end of 2013, he'd already turned himself into one of the Minors' sharpest defenders at the keystone.
Betts had the athleticism and arm strength to make it at short, but the accuracy of his throws was generally poor -- he committed nine errors in 13 games from 2011 to 2012. The move to second made it easier for him to hit his target, both because the throws are shorter and he generally has more time to make plays.
"Coming into the season, there was a little history there about his throwing," said Carlos Febles, who managed Betts last year at Class A Greenville. "I expected him to make a lot of throwing errors, but I think he only made two or three all year. That was the part that stood out to me."
Betts has proven a quick study at second. Febles and others rave about his makeup and work ethic, and it was those intangibles, paired with his athleticism, that made the transition a smooth one. An opposing manager referred to Betts as "fundamentally sound," a testament to how quickly he adjusted.
That doesn't mean the 21-year-old is a finished product. The 5-foot-9 infielder's biggest task is to master the art of the double play. He played a role in 82 twin-killings in 2013 but could be quicker catching and releasing from stage left of second base.
"Starting and turning double plays is one of the harder things to do, and he has to get it done," said Febles, who will manage Class A Advanced Salem this season. "He works hard and he definitely gets it. When he does that, that's when he's going to become the guy we're all expecting him to be."
Gosuke Katoh, Yankees: It's a little uncommon for a high school infielder to earn rave reviews for his defense at second base, but that was the case with Katoh. The 2013 second-round pick played second for Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego and remained there as a pro, primarily because of lackluster arm strength.
A below-average arm is the only thing holding him back from shining at short, but the tool is adequate enough to let him excel at second. The rest of Katoh's defensive package is sterling. He can scoot at an elite level -- Perfect Game timed him at 6.42 seconds in a 60-yard dash in 2012. The quickness translates to the infield, where Katoh's feet and hands are both quick and quiet. The 19-year-old is a long way from the Majors and may not hit enough to become an elite prospect, but his glove work at second at least makes him a name worth watching.
Jorge Polanco, Twins: Polanco has spent most of his Minor League career split between second and shortstop but profiles better at second. At the keystone, his quick hands can be untarnished by his mediocre arm strength.
Kolten Wong, Cardinals: Wong's tools lag behind those of some top prospects, but he excels due to makeup and instincts. That's especially true at second, where he's ready to be an above-average big league defender.
Hernan Perez, Tigers: Though he may never hit enough to hold down a starting Major League job, Perez is a stellar defensive second baseman, thanks mostly to his fast-twitch athleticism and strong instincts.
Rougned Odor, Rangers: Opinions on Odor's defense vary. Supporters point to his tremendous instincts and attentiveness, while detractors are a little skeptical about how his athleticism plays at the position. Most agree he's a more-than-capable defender at second -- the difference is that some see adequacy and some see greatness.
Third Base
Christian Villanueva, Cubs: Acquired from Texas in the 2012 Ryan Dempster trade, Villanueva gets lost a bit in the logjam of stellar infield prospects in the Cubs system. Defensively, though, there might not be a player who fits his position better.
| "He can go in every direction. He's outstanding on the backhand play and at charging in and making throws."
-- Smokies manager Buddy Bailey on the Cubs' Christian Villanueva
What stands out most about the 22-year-old Mexican is his first-step quickness. He can accelerate in every direction and boasts a quality arm and quick release.
"He has good side-to-side," said Buddy Bailey, who managed Villanueva at Double-A Tennessee. "As a good third baseman, you have to have that first-step quickness, have to have a lot of quick reactions. He has that."
Bailey began his Minor League managerial career 31 years ago, and when he first saw Villanueva last year, he noticed the third baseman was better going to his right than his left. Bailey and the Smokies staff worked with Villanueva on moving better toward the shortstop hole and, by the end of the season, he was every bit as capable going into the hole as up the line -- and he's as good as it gets at ranging to his right.
"He can go in every direction," Bailey said. "He's outstanding on the backhand play and at charging in and making throws."
Patrick Wisdom, Cardinals: At 6-foot-2 and 210 lbs., Wisdom is a below-average runner but has the first-step quickness and instincts to cover the hot corner with excellent range. He has good hands and solid footwork, allowing for quick releases that let his plus arm do the rest of the work.
"Third base is more reactionary," Class A Advanced Palm Beach manager Jonathan Rodriguez said. "You don't have to have the sort of range you do at shortstop, but you have to have quick reactions, that first-step quickness to get to balls to your left and right.
"Patrick has a lot of skills. He has good range and he definitely has the arm. He plays smart over at third base. I think definitely he's a great defensive player."
Wisdom's best tool is his arm. While the strength is good, what really stands out is the accuracy of his throws. The 2012 first-round pick (52nd overall) is especially adept throwing on the move, an ability that speaks both to his raw athleticism and the effect his work ethic has had on his footwork and consistency.
"He's well-rounded at third base," Rodriguez said. "I think what I could see from him at Palm Beach -- he's good at charging balls and making running throws with accuracy and strength, throwing and running."
Wisdom should advance to Double-A Springfield this year. If his bat catches up to his glove, he could challenge for Major League playing time in 2015.
Kaleb Cowart, Angels: The 2010 first-round pick (18th overall) has one of the Minors' best arms and pairs it with above-average fielding skills to create a stellar defensive package.
Joey Gallo, Rangers: Gallo is something of a one-trick pony at third, boasting one of the game's strongest arms but lacking the requisite range and actions to shine there. Still, his arm strength and general athleticism provide promise that he could develop into a stud defender at the hot corner.
Hunter Dozier, Royals: Drafted eighth overall in 2013, Dozier moved from shortstop to third base after signing. He's plenty athletic to shine at third, with an above-average arm to go with good range and reactions.

Students may apply a maximum of 16 transfer credits toward a Willamette degree. In most cases, courses taken at regionally accredited colleges or universities will receive full credit if they are comparable to courses offered at Willamette. Courses with grades below a C- (C minus) will not receive credit. Transfer courses are not used in computing the Willamette University grade point average. Six quarter hours or four semester hours of transfer credit equal one Willamette credit. Although students admitted with an Associate of Arts degree from an accredited community college will be automatically granted 15 Willamette credits (junior standing) upon entrance, satisfaction of specific general requirements and major requirements will be determined on the basis of a course-by-course evaluation of the transcript(s). At least 15 degree credits must be earned in residence at Willamette University.
Additionally, at least 8 of the final 10 degree credits must be earned in residence or in Willamette-approved off-campus study programs.

Saint Elizabeth to host research study called Conversations About CancerFebruary 17 2014
The Lincoln community is invited to participate in a research study called Conversations About Cancer. The study is conducted by San Diego State University and Klein Buendel, Inc. and is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center is hosting the study.
Participants can choose between two different times: Friday, February 28 at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 1 at 1 p.m. Researchers will share information with cancer patients, cancer survivors and their family members. All qualifying participants will receive $50 and will be randomly-assigned to watch a video about managing cancer: one about nutrition or one about family communication.
The study seeks to understand how people whose lives are touched by cancer make use of information about cancer. The hope is to benefit cancer patients and their families now as well as in the future.
The study is anticipated to take three to four hours and includes two questionnaires (one prior to the video and another after the video) that take about 10 minutes each to complete. Participants will also be asked to complete a third questionnaire online four weeks after the event. The questionnaires ask questions about cancer and the participant's reaction to the video. All answers are voluntary, confidential and anonymous. All responses will be combined with the answers of all other participants. Participants will be encouraged, though not required, to attend a talkback or feedback session at the end of the event.
Please make a reservation by calling 1-800-278-7837 Monday – Friday between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

SBCenter (respring, etc)
NCSettings (toggles)
Springtomize (ram readout in status bar + MUCH more)
But I don't miss SBSettings at all anymore. Much as I've learned to live without Gridlock.
iRetina IntelliScreenX Toggles
Both depend on SBSettings although I do have a 'Cydia Ads SUCK!!!' on my repo that is independent of SBSettings. I just liked being able to turn ads On or Off w/ an SBSettings Toggle if I ever ran into a problem.
I might go that route and ditch SBSettings till its fixed...
Well...goodbye 'Processes'....
I hope this is worth it!
Hi guys
Thanks for the "tips" and advise... ready all the converations helps somohow to have an idea of waht is going one "inside" our phones.
I do have a question that I couldn't find anyware yet, is there a way around "GridLock" ?? and I'm not talking about "iBlank"??
Thanks again
One big thing to not forget. This would really piss you off if I didn't tell you. On whatever layout you create -- leave room for at least ONE extra icon per page that you don't necessarily want in your set up. If you make it 'precise' per page then when the App Store adds an app or Cydia - or you try to move an icon from one page to the next - the phone will crash and restart. Why? Each page needs room to move an icon to. Without it - it crashes.. So I always leave at least a row of 3 at the bottom - that I can leave blank - so there is room for icons to be added from page to page. Even without Gridlock - Apple still allows you to leave out icons to the 'bottom' of each screen. It just packs all icons toward the top grid points without Gridlock. So - again - in each layout you make in layout maker leave at least 1 or 2 open at the bottom which DON'T HAVE TO get filled for your look - but are there as 'place holders' for incoming apps.
I thought I posted this yesterday but I guess not. You guys (Simon and NewdestinyX) have been been real helpful (and patient) in your posts on the respringing using Activator to maintain the battery usage figures. I tried it last night and it works well, even after updating from Cydia. Just to be sure I close Cydia and respring using an Activator method and the the figures are intact. Thanks again for the tips and tricks.
@NewdestinyX, you posted about the Cydia app, SBCenter, that resprings, reboots and powers off from the Notification Center. Can you resprings from this tweak and keep the battery usage figures, or does this wipe them out?
Unfortunately no. The respring function in SBCenter kills the battery stats. Currently "Activator" is the only application whose respring doesn't kill the stats. Though, it seems that even the "Activator" method of respring kills the battery stats from within WinterBoard. There's no way to back out of WinterBoard without using its own respring method which kills the stats. . So without a way to keep the stats after making a change in Winterboard the whole thing seems like a waste of time. Because it's in Winterboard where I need to respring most of the time.@NewdestinyX, you posted about the Cydia app, SBCenter, that resprings, reboots and powers off from the Notification Center. Can you resprings from this tweak and keep the battery usage figures, or does this wipe them out?
Bottom line-iOS 6 changed the way the caches get cleared whenever Respring happens. So all of the developers are going to have to rewrite their respring methods to stop the battery stats erasure and this brightness issue that we've been having which is also a function of respring caches being changed in iOS 6. Though there's a great tweak out now that solves the brightness dimming issue after respring.

Austin, Texas-based McKinney York Architects often weaves sustainable design ideas into its work. So when the 14-person firm moved into a building in the East Austin neighborhood last year, it worked hard to make the cost-conscious renovation as green as possible. "Where we were already going to have to spend money, we did it in the most sustainable way we could," says principal Heather McKinney, FAIA, LEED AP.
She and her partners focused in particular on lowering energy and water consumption, with a carbon-neutral office as their long-term goal. They replaced existing single-pane windows with low-E double glazing, which reduced street noise and heating bills. The bathroom features low-flow fixtures and super-efficient Dyson Airblade hand dryers. And McKinney says the firm hopes to eventually install solar panels on the building's flat roof.
McKinney York also considered the environmental impact of employees' commutes. The firm chose a location close to a rail station, making public transportation a convenient option. Additionally, it installed showers for staff members who bike to work.

If you are a strong wordpress/woocommerce developer with a solid portfolio here on Envato please come back to me with your readiness to work on my chain of projects.
Firstly, have a look at this (http://themeforest.net/item/t-shirt-designer-creator-and-shop-module/3011939) and tell me if you can implement it in Wordpress/Woocommerce and how much it will cost.
I will be selecting the very best and cost-sensitive developers only.

I will be selecting the very best and cost-sensitive developers only.
Perhaps the most cost-sensitive of the best!
By cost-sensitive, do you mean a developer who'd be willing to do it for a low (or reasonable from your point of view) price? That is a hell of an irony.
Guys never mind. It was only a test to weed out the money conscious.
I believe and except one is just plain lazy to revert with an expression of interest, money should not be the initial motivator.
I'm new to this platform and have outsourced to a company in India a single project for the past 2 years to the tune of over $300k in billings, so money isn't the issue my friends. Just was not the sort of response I was expecting.
If you are out there and you are serious to work with my team here, then please express interest and share with us your experience etc.
And please no more analysis of my statements, its taking us no where.
Thank you
Look, here's the deal.
To be honest, you can't find a rock star developer with a solid portfolio here on Envato who is also money conscious. And by money conscious, I mean someone who charges lesser than what established market rates for quality work are. (Please, if there is some one out there who can prove me wrong, I'd love to hear from you.)
You can find people like me. People who know what they're doing. Can get the job done. But clearly don't have a solid established portfolio like the top authors here do. And because we don't have a solid portfolio, our rates are low since we're still in the process of building our portfolio.
It all boils down to your personal preference. If you want top-notch quality work, you need to lose some money. If you want to spend sensible amount of money, you would have to suffice for a little less. Maybe, less is not the right word here. Something that is less shiny maybe?
I hope I made sense.
Because of the features it would go for around $15K – $20K, depends on the full project info.
Not available at the moment, just throwing out a number.
WPScientist said
Because of the features it would go for around $15K – $20K,
Are you referring to the t-shirt gig?
Kamil, I believe you made sense.
What are your thoughts about the t-shirt gig?
Well, about the t-shirt gig, WPScientist's number sounds pretty sensible.
I, personally, see myself charging a little less for it than that though, for the obvious reasons. (Hint: WPScientist is awesome-er)
Whether I'll be available to work on it or not depends on what your deadline would be.

>Racing>2013 Sub-19 5K
I'll be 36 in 2013 and have not yet gone sub-19.
Chief Unicorn Officer
7.18 tonight. I have felt like garbage since my 9 mile race on Thanksgiving Day. I'm not sure if I never really recovered (I've run 31 miles since then) or what. It was a really, really hard effort. My legs just feel dead all week long and it's hard to even hold easy pace.
Mile 5:49 - 5K 19:58 - 10K 43:06 - HM 1:36:54
My age as of 12/31 is 43.
I have run sub 19 in the past.
Modern Era PRs (2012 and later): 5K--19:05 (December 2012), 10K--40:10 (January 2013), HM--1:27:17(July 2012), MAR--3:06:01 (September 2012), "Road" 50K--4:03:42 (March 2012)
I'll be 28 in 2013 (in September), and I've been under 19 once, in 2009. Since it only happened once though I wonder if the course was short.
For clarification, I will become 48 in 2013, so the correct figure for the table (age on the last day of this year) is 47. Sorry for the confusion.
I'll be 29 next year. I've never gone sub-19 before.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
Clarifying here as well . . . 35 on 12/31 of this year.
Oops, I need to clarify as well, I'll still be 57 on 12/31/2012. Won't be 58 till the end of March. I'll probably run a couple of 5k's before then, but especially want to do a sub-19 in April or after.

Might as well add me to the list, I'll be 42 in 2013 and yes for the under 19:00 (only once, this year's Turkey Day)
Count me in. PR'd last year in June at 18:43 and I would like to beat that in 2013. I'm signed up for a 5k race on January 1st.

In for 2013, PR is 19:52 from April 2011 so I'm due.
First order of business is to get my next marathon out of the way in 2 weeks and then spend winter and spring working on the 5k.
I have a 5k tomorrow morning but no lofty expectations, it's going to be run on pure mileage and almost zero speedwork this year.
You look so absurd, you look so obscene...
Oh yeah, I'm 41 3/4
I'll give it a go - I will be 62 in 2 weeks time and have never gone sub-19:00. I came close on October 21st with a PB of 19:02.
That gave me an age grade time of 15:10 with an age performance of 85.02%
I don't race many 5Ks though so I will not be doing any specific training and I have no idea at this stage when I will be making an attempt.
Good luck folks.
