My guess is that he briefly held the defender on the far side of the basket and slowed him down a sec from getting to Ross. None of the angles had that in their frame, but it's possible.
A career highlight dunk, missed due to crappy officating, the NBA is about moments like that Ross dunk, pushing the human body to the max, and it got missed!
lowry gets it.. saying all the right things on raptors post up
his play showed it too
Thanks BasketballCrush for providing us with these snippets. I saw the game but I like looking back at the pictures that tell the story. Some pictures tell the story better than watching the actual game!
#Raptor4Life, #Prepping4thePlayoffs
happy to do it, would post the pics even if i am the only one logged on to the forum, remember seeing another sports forum that provided it and it was a good way to get a feel for the game when you missed it
Great game by Lowry! i've been hard on him before he got injured because of his shot selection but if he can play like this, involving his teammates more, making the right pass, the Raps will win a lot of games.
Huge game as well by my boy DeMar DeRozan. This is how he needs to play. He needs to post up more. I think he's one of the best low post SG in the game. And i think he's a guy that can easily get to the line at least 8 times a game. This is the DeMar DeRozan that i want to see.
lowry looks in better condition than when he sustained that tricep injury, real talk.
I like the interaction that Lowry and Calderon had during a timeout. Lowry really seems into the game. I hope he "gets it" and doesn't try to play too many hero-balls out there... I mean, he's got the knack to get into the paint and create. But the way he played tonight, like a bulldog, that's the type of PG we'll need. And to have Calderon backing him up (either off the bench or starting) will create a change of pace we've all wished could happen. Tonight though it just seems as though Calderon wasn't into it as much as he was in previous games.

Just to point out to those that are down on Jose but up on Kyle, that is why we have 2 point guards. So even if one has an off game, the other can pick up the slack. Happy both were on our team tonight, there were times we needed Jose, and moments when I was happy to see Lowry.
The change up may be the trick to keep the opposite coach from adjusting. (its also difficult for the opposing players, they get used to one flow, and here come another, as good but diffrent)

By the way, watching Austin Rivers tonight. I think it's safe to say that we drafted the right guy at 8th. I remember back in the draft i wanted the Raps to draft a guard at 8th. Rivers was my guy. Didn't want any part of Drummond because we already have JV.
I was pissed when they announced the name Terrence Ross because i didn't really know anything about him. But watching Ross and Rivers play this year. Give me Ross over Rivers any day of the week. It's not even close. #31 got big time game. Sky is the limit for this guy.
Oh by the way, that Andre Drummond guy in Detroit. He's pretty good too. No regrets though. We have JV. It wouldn't make sense to draft another C.

Another thing I like to point out is seeing Ross play in the 4th! Coach is showing a bit more confidence in putting him out there. That's got to do wonders for a rookie trying to make a name for himself on his team. Though I like seeing Anderson out there in the 4th, I think Ross can eventually supplant him in the future (I hope). But for now, I'm liking Anderson's 4th quarter skills... Method Man showing us a little something, something haha... A bit more swagger!

Tory Burch necklace from Need for Speed seen with Imogen Poots (Julia Maddon)
As Seen on Julia Maddon (Imogen Poots) in Need for Speed
FAST AND BEAUTIFUL: Decked out in aviators and Belstaff jackets, Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) is not a nice guy. In fact, he's a murderer who frames mechanic and gifted underground racer Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) for his misdeeds. When Tobey emerges from prison in a blue leather jacket and slacks, he plots revenge in the only language he really knows—speed—and enters the DeLeon, a famous underground race, with plans to beat and punish the smug Dino for good.
A car expert and surprisingly talented driver, Julia, played by Imogen Poots, is both the romantic interest and a force to be reckoned with. She, like Tobey Marhsall (Aaron Paul), knows how to dress to get a job done while looking great.

Although some people had expected a surprise Intel 985X
motherboard chipset announcement, it looks like it was not meant to be.
In fact, it seems the whole concept of "high-end" nearly one-off
chipsets from Intel is dead in the water.
The most recent Intel roadmap revealed that Intel has no plans to produce a
high-end "extreme" chipset through at least Q2'07. This is
important since Q2'07 marks the launch of Bearlake, Intel's chipset successor
to the 965 series. Ultimately, we can infer that Intel has put the
"extreme" series of chipsets on hiatus for a least two generations.
Of course, without a 975X platform, this also means there is no longer any
plans for an Intel-based Crossfire platform. 975X, 955X and 945P were the only
chipsets from Intel that support Crossfire, and Intel's newest chipsets do not
-- including G965, P965 and Q965. Intel's next generation chipset,
Bearlake, may support Crossfire or SLI, but the trend seems to suggest this is
unlikely. With the efforts of NVIDIA and ATI both producing independent
chipsets for Crossfire/SLI, it seems unlikely that we will see native multi-GPU
technology on any Intel chipsets in the near future.

Six years is a long time.
Six years ago, George W. Bush occupied the White House, while Barack Obama simply was the junior senator from Illinois. TV was interrupted by the Writers Guild of America strike. The Departed took home Oscars best picture.
It was that long ago, in the 2006-07 season, that the Fort Lewis College womens basketball program last missed the NCAA Tournament. This years squad, after overcoming a 1-5 start, sits at 12-8, knocking on the NCAA Tournament door but far from assured of getting the selection committee to answer.
This weekend allows the Skyhawks to make a statement on their home floor against a pair of teams sitting just ahead of them in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference standings CSU-Pueblo and UC-Colorado Springs with second-place Metro State looming the next weekend.
Senior guard Katerina Garcia said the players are aware of the opportunity lying before them.
I think we all realize that, and I think were all really excited to play this weekend, Garcia said.
Weve gotten more of a set offense, and our defense has gotten way better, and I think were just excited for a little bit of ... comeback from the last time we played them.
Head coach Jason Flores said directing focus will be critical down the stretch, as thinking too much about what it takes to get to the dance could distract the Skyhawks with the dance partner immediately in front of them.
Were not thinking about that because as soon as you start thinking about that, you lose focus on what you need to do, Flores said. I mean, if we play well and we happen to win some games, that stuff will take care of itself at the end.
It helps that FLC enters winners of its last four games. The Skyhawks have won those games fairly convincinly, as well, averaging a winning margin of 11.5 points over those four games, boosted in large part by a 20-point rout of Adams State.
The most recent three of those victories also have come on the road, although against competition that doesnt quite stack up record-wise to the next three opponents on the schedule.
Last time FLC faced the ThunderWolves and Mountain Lions, the Skyhawks were swept on the road. Those two games came at the end of a lengthy season-opening road trip and were the first two RMAC games of FLCs season.
Since then, FLC has righted the ship, going 11-3 with a six-game winning streak and their current four-game push.
In other words, while CSUP and UCCS are improved, so, too, are the Skyhawks.
That was the end of our four weeks on the road, and at the time, I knew they were going to be good teams. Now you look back, and that was the fourth week on the road, and youre playing two good teams on their home court, Flores said.
And that was a tough road stretch. Now, its been so long since weve played them, both ways weve had so many games in between, its coming back around.
The offense has gotten back in tune as well after an uncharacteristically poor shooting night derailed the Skyhawks at home against Colorado Christian on Jan. 25.
FLC responded the next night with an 80-point outing, and the only time it has tallied less than 70 points in this winning streak came in the 20-point thumping of the Grizzlies.
While the unit as a whole has powered this late-season run, perhaps the biggest catalyst has been Garcia. Shes admittedly not big on checking her stat line, but to recap, the Durango High School alumna has gone for 12 points (eight assists), 21 points, 12 points (nine assists) and 23 points in her last four games.
Numbers aside, Garcia said shes just happy to be performing at a high level once more as her collegiate career, and the Skyhawks regular-season, enters the homestretch. And an NCAA berth would keep that run going even longer.
Its more that this is it for me; Im almost done, Garcia said. And honestly, I dont know if this is my best basketball, but Im definitely getting back to who I used to be, I feel, which makes me sad because this is it, and Im just now deciding to play the way I know how to play. Hopefully that continues. Ive only got a few games left in my career.

The Five Meditating Buddhas - An Enquiry into Spiritual Aesthetics
Long, long ago, before the idea called history evolved, there existed a sexless entity called the Adi-Buddha or Primordial Buddha. From 'Him' emerged the duality which was to be the potential progenitor of all creation. This dual element is visualized in Buddhist aesthetics either as the deity Vajrasattva or Vajradhara.
The significant characteristic common to them is the bell (female) and thunderbolt (male), which they hold in their hands. These deities are believed to be two expressions of the same principle, and the wellspring of all creation.
The above hierarchy is essentially spiritual. It represents an idealized abstract state, graspable only to those on an elevated mental plane. Ordinary mortals like us, require some kind of a concrete expression to bring forth a heartfelt response.
In Buddhism, the path to spiritual salvation is not envisioned as some lofty abstract journey, rather it is stressed that the attainment of enlightenment involves a profound transformation in our innermost being. But how is such a dramatic transformation to come about? The answer is said to lie within those very inherent negative traits which keep us spiritually imprisoned and unfulfilled. The same knotted energy that feeds the poisonous delusions, when unknotted, empowers and enlightens the mind.
In its typical penchant for classification and categorization, Vajrayana Buddhism divides the negative delusions plaguing the human form into five categories. These are: ignorance, anger, pride, attachment, and jealousy. They are said to be the sum total of all factors which keep us away from enlightenment. But hope lies in the belief that the human mind holds within itself the potential to metamorphose these negative traits into positive attributes. In a supreme moment of creative inspiration, which can be counted amongst the highest achievements in the history of human aesthetic instinct, these transformed emotions are visualized as five different, beautiful and resplendent Buddhas. Invariably seated upon their auspicious lotus thrones, they are known collectively as the Dhyani Buddhas. This is in consistency with their iconographic representations, where they are inevitably shown seated in the posture of meditation, known in Sanskrit as Dhyana. They are also known as 'jina,' meaning victory, signifying a conceptual victory over our unenlightened minds.
The Five Dhyani BuddhasAll the five Dhyani Buddhas are said to have originated from Vajrasattva himself. But it needs to be appreciated here, that though they have all sprung from the same spiritual father, these Buddhas nevertheless have important physical differences. For example, each displays a different hand mudra, is associated with a different direction, rides a different animal, denotes a particular moment in the life of the historical Buddha, and has a different color.
The last is a unique contribution to the aesthetic heritage which is shared by all humanity. Indeed, the link between our negative emotions, and the positive qualities into which the Dhyani Buddhas transform them can be illustrated most directly through the medium and experience of color. It is well known that changing the color of our surroundings can have a profound effect on our state of mind. Color also expresses our emotions, as when we say that we are green with envy or feeling blue. Color is logically thus one of the significant means through which Buddhist art gives a tangible form to human emotions and nowhere is this more explicitly displayed than in the typical iconography of the five Dhyani Buddhas.
Each of the five Buddhas first identifies a specific human failing and then helps us in transforming it into a positive attribute, bringing about the spiritual evolution required for enlightenment. How they inspire us to achieve this transition through their traditional iconography is discussed below.
The five Dhyani Buddhas are:
1). Vairochana
2). Akshobhya
3). Ratnasambhava
4). Amitabha
5). Amoghasiddhi
For detailed descriptions of each Buddha and the mudras, click here.
The five Dhyani Buddhas represent the five basic types of human personality and demonstrate the absolutely perfected form of these personality types. Most importantly, each of them represents a negative quality as well as the completely transformed aspect of that failing, manifested as a glorious wisdom. It is an ample demonstration of the genius of Vajrayana Buddhism that these weaknesses are not denied or suppressed. They are instead worked upon, until their illusory nature is understood and they become aspects of one's inherent wisdom.

Credit Unions Now Getting the Hang of CDFI Grant Requests
As some credit unions around the country gear up to apply for grant money from the U.S. Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, there are indications that credit unions are gradually becoming more sophisticated about navigating the grant writing process.
The CDFI fund announced that credit unions applying for grants this year will need to file their applications no later than the Feb. 28 and suggested that they do so three days in advance of the deadline to allow for any problems with the applications to be dealt with before the deadline. In addition, only credit unions that have been certified or recertified as CDFIs will be eligible to apply for funds this year, the Treasury Department said.
Those new requirements and conditions indicate how the CDFI certification and grant processes have remained challenging, according to specialists that help credit unions overcome the obstacles. But as years have passed and with the help of specialists, credit unions have gotten better at both becoming certified as CDFIs and applying for CDFI grants.
"I think credit unions have become more experienced with it, and that we have managed to help the fund better understand credit unions," said Pablo DeFilippi, director of membership for the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions.
DeFilippi said the federation's efforts have focused on improved communication and education of both credit unions and the fund. It has helped credit unions seeking certification as CDFIs and obtaining CDFI grants to better grasp what the fund seeks in both applications and it has helped the fund comprehend the nature of credit unions and how that can fit its program definitions.
Still, the certification and grant process can seem overwhelming to an inexperienced credit union and institutions that have found them so have turned in increasing numbers to consulting firms that specialize in helping credit unions navigate their way through the fund's requirements.
One that has seen significant success has been CU Strategic Planning, a community development and grant writing consultancy headquartered in Tacoma, Wash. The firm claims, among other things, that it is home to "the best grant writers in the world" and that a at least one of its credit union clients has won a CDFI grant in every round of CDFI grant making since 2008.
This is difficult to verify since the CDFI fund does not identify which grant applicants used consulting firms and which did not, but firm CEO Jamie Chase indicated that some proof of assertion can be seen in the firm's popularity with credit unions. According to Chase, the 12 employee firm only takes on 30 client credit unions per year and has a waiting list.
"The kind of grant writing we do is highly specialized," Chase said, "and it's not easy to find people who specialize in the skills we need. Also, we are perfectionists. We would rather properly serve a smaller number of credit unions than try to expand our client list and cut quality."
And the firm stands by that commitment to quality. A client credit union will pay 50% of the firm's fee for it consulting up front but only have to pay the remaining 50% if the application actually results in a grant.
Chase said that many credit unions need to understand that that their CDFI grant application is really a business plan and needs to be understood as such. She also explained that the firm helps credit union applicants document their stories and accomplishments in a professional way, something too few do, she said.
This last factor was especially helpful for the 20,000 member, $88 million Shreveport Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Shreveport, La. The credit union was a recipient of CFDI fund money under a community development initiative. The credit union used CU Strategic Planning for the 2012 grant application.
"I think the way they helped us the most was in helping us better tell our story," said Shreveport CEO Helen Godfrey-Smith. "We never thought much about documenting what we were doing because we were too busy doing it," Godfrey-Smith said.

Economic benefits of reducing nitrogen pollution
Falling levels of nitrogen in the atmosphere across Europe may be much more economically beneficial than previously believed, according to a recent study.
Indeed, scientists think the UK alone benefits by around £65 million a year. Levels of atmospheric nitrogen have fallen by around a quarter in Europe since 1990, mostly because of tighter rules on emissions from engines and industry. Scientists are still working to understand the consequences.
This is difficult, because excess nitrogen affects the benefits that nature gives us (known as 'ecosystem services') in many different ways – some positive and some harmful. For example, nitrogen is an important plant nutrient, which means services that depend on plant growth, such as crops and timber from woodlands, will benefit from more of it in the atmosphere. Conversely, falling nitrogen levels will harm these services - so cutting pollution costs the economy money.
Too much nitrogen harms other ecosystem services, though. For example, it reduces plant biodiversity and tends to favour the growth of rough, weedy vegetation like nettles and coarse grasses, which many people think makes the landscape look scruffy. Too much nitrogen therefore reduces our enjoyment of nature.
The study, published in the journal Ecosystem Services, is the first to take a comprehensive look at the impact of falling nitrogen levels on a range of ecosystem services and hence on the economy. Previous studies have tended to focus on 'provisioning' services like timber production and 'regulating' services like carbon sequestration, which are relatively easy to value. They have done this at the expense of 'cultural' services like tourism and appreciation of the natural environment. These do have value, but are harder to measure and quantify.

exile setups only for amp gain settings
Guys with similar setups please share your amp gain settings. I swapped out the kicker 700.5 for two exiles and added a zld , the towers kick in hard with just a slight fade.
I have the harpoon with 4 xm9's
The xi 800.4 for six sx 65m
The xi 1500.1 with xi12dvc sub in a sealed box.
The dealer tuned the inboats without the xm9 on the towers so , it was difficult to do.
I really have not messed with the settings yet , wanted to get some ideas and don't want to blow my neighbors out by clipping the amps the adjusting down slightly.A Day at the Lake...Priceless

Regardless of amp and speaker brand and speaker type, the gains need to be set using one of the 2-3 common methods.
Tower amp, in-boat amp and sub amp: All amp gains need to be set independent of each other. Doesnt matter to the in-boat amp that the tower speakers were not installed yet. If your dealer had trouble setting the gains on the in-boat amp because the tower speakers where not installed.....I would find a new dealer to do the install.
What is it about the setup that you are not happy with? Gains are typically a set it and forget it. Cross-over filter for in-boats and towers should be "HI-PASS" and "LOW-PASS" for the sub. The cross-over frequency will have a ball-park range, but now exact setting. For the in-boats, I would probably end up somewhere between 80-100 Hz. For the towers, about the same, 80-100hz. For the sub, you should set it close to where the in-boats end up. This creates a smooth transition.
Also, keep in mind that the ZLD is a line-driver, so your gains should end up lower then those with the same amps, head-unit and speakers, but no line-driver. head-unit and EQ settings need to be flat or zero.
MLA, dealer did a fantastic job, just were not able to tweak the whole system cuz the towers were not there to tune it by ear. I assume you saw the install photos and they did great for not being an audio shop.
Since there are many on here that have the same setup I have, was just curious as to there gain setup so I could save my lake neighbors some musical noise in the lift. And me being lazy. Lol
I guess the issue as stated above was the towers come on loud and early in the fader control, vs my ws and Krypt eq. I know they are different, just thought I would get to more middle ground and have a nice blend from all three.A Day at the Lake...Priceless

Did not see photos, but it doesnt matter. I was not hacking on the install, it just seemed you did not have confidence in the tune. Sorry if I misread your post. Once the ZLD's "FADE" is at center, both the front and rear, or in-boat and tower as its labeled on the ZLD. are at full head-unit volume level. The "tower" zone doesnt get any louder past center, the in-boat zone just gets quieter. This is the down side to the "fade" function of a basic car audio EQ, its not true zone volume control. The WS-420 has true in-boat and tower zone control and the Krypt is just a knock-off. The ZLD is based off a car EQ with front/rear fade, which is not independent volume control.
Your amp gains can be set by way of a volt meter or O-scope with no speakers attached. neighbors wont hear a thing. Setting an amp's gain to its peak safe level is independent of any other amps, but they can always be turned down of wanted.

If John Calipari is to repeat his national championship feat at Kentucky, he expects to have to do it with some fresh faces.
Calipari said on Friday that he's expecting six players off the Wildcats' NCAA title team to be selected in the NBA Draft in June. That would mean five underclassmen - freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague and sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb - would turn pro early, joining senior Darius Miller in exiting to the NBA.
"I expect six first-round picks (from the same school), for the first time in the history of our world," Calipari said. "And I'll say this: that may be the biggest day in the history of our program. I know you're all going to be mad now."
ESPN.com's Chad Ford projects Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Jones, Teague and Lamb among the top 30 prospects in the upcoming draft.
Calipari caught heat two years ago for suggesting that NBA Draft night - when John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton gave UK five first-round picks - was "the biggest day in the history of Kentucky's program"
But Calipari maintains that the 2010 draft was a critical piece of what followed.
"Well, doing that brings another and another and another championship," Calipari said. "And that first group, those five, brought us the players that just won."
Now Calipari is trying to reload again.
On Wednesday, he got a verbal commitment from 6-foot-10 shot-blocker Nerlens Noel, the nation's No. 2 recruit, and that could elevate UK to its fourth-straight top-ranked recruiting class.
Noel's signed national letter of intent has not arrived yet, and NCAA rules prohibit coaches from discussing specific players until they have signed.
"I think there are a lot of happy people," Calipari said. "But I don't worry about recruiting. We're going to get the kids we're supposed to, the others won't come here, and that's fine."
Kentucky isn't finished recruiting, but already the Wildcats are being projected among the contenders for next season's NCAA title. Most postseason polls project UK among the top five next year, despite what's expected to be an almost entirely new nucleus.
"How is that?" Calipari said. "I've never heard of that before. I hate to tell you, it's now the third year in a row, the same kind of deal. This team, they're getting pieced together like last year's team, where everybody's got a little slot to fit in."
For now, though, Calipari's still celebrating this season's title.
He took the NCAA championship trophy on a bus tour Thursday through Eastern Kentucky, and the tour continues into Western Kentucky on Friday via train.
The turnout to see the trophy has been big, Calipari said, adding that "the people that I'm meeting are the neighbors I grew up with."
"You also find out that those are all the people that really can't get to Rupp, maybe can't get to Lexington, maybe haven't left town in a long time," Calipari said. "And the joy that they get from this team, this trophy, this championship and just sharing it with them is why we're doing it."

Brad Lidge's third blown save ruins the starting pitching debut of J.A. Happ and the Major League Debut of John Mayberry, Jr., as the Phils lose to the Yanks in the bottom of the ninth, 5-4.
Brad Lidge's third blown save of the season and his second on an otherwise successful road trip, ruins both the 2009 starting debut of J.A. Happ and the major league debut of John Mayberry, Jr. as the Phillies lose to the Yanks in the bottom of the ninth, 5-4.
The Phillies took a quick 1-0 lead as Raul Ibanez hits a solo home run, with one man out, in the second inning, his seventeenth home run of the year. The Yanks tied the game up at one-all in their half of the second, as, with a runner on third, and one man out, Nick Swisher hits an RBI ground out, 6-3, knocking in Robinson Cano, who had earlier doubled, and had gone to third on Melky Cabrera's sacrifice bunt, 1-3. The Phils retook the lead in the fifth, as, with two men on, and nobody out, John Mayberry, Jr. hits a three-one home run, his first home run of the season, and the first home run of his major league career, knocking in Shane Victorino, who had earlier singled and had moved up to second on Pedro Feliz's walk, and Feliz, who had walked, giving the Phils a 4-1 lead. In the sixth, the Yanks got a run back as, with one man out, Derek Jeter hits a solo home run, his seventh home run of the year, making it a 4-2 Phils' lead. In the ninth, with a runner on base and one out, Alex Rodriguez hits a two-run home run, his seventh home run of the year, knocking in Johnny Damon, who had earlier walked and then stole second base, tying the game up at 4-4. Then two batters later, with Cano on second base, via a single and a stolen base, Cabrera hits an RBI single, scoring Cano and giving the Yanks a 5-4 Walk-Off Win.
J.A. Happ got a no-decision in his starting debut, pitching a very strong game against the Yanks as he went six innings, giving up just two runs on four hits, as he struck out four. Chad Durbin received his second hold of the year, as he pitched a scoreless inning, while he struck out a batter. Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless eighth, recording his eighth hold of the year, giving up a hit, as he struck out the side. Brad Lidge blew his third save of the season as he took the lost, as he pitched only a third of an inning, giving up three runs on three hits and a walk, while striking out one. His record is now 0-2 with a 9.15 ERA. Andy Pettitte also received a no-decision, as he pitched seven innings, giving up four runs on five hits and two walks, while he struck out five. Phil Coke pitched one and two-third innings of shut out ball, giving up a hit. Jose Veras took the win as he pitched a third of an inning, getting out the only man he would face. His record is now 3-1 with a 5.89 ERA.
The Phils had only six hits in the game. Chase Utley and John Mayberry, Jr. lead the way with two hits each, with Mayberry, Jr. going 2 for 3 in his major league debut, hitting a double and a three-run home run. Raul Ibanez and Shane Victorino got the other two Phils' hits, with Ibanez's hit being a solo home run. Lidge blown save ruins the Phils' chances at winning their first two games inside the new Yankees Stadium after having dominated the second game of the series with the Yankess via both good starting pitching and the long ball.
The Phillies (23-18, 1st) will conclude their three-games interleague play series with the Yankees (25-18, 3rd American League East) with an afternoon game at the new Yankees Stadium. The game will start at 1:05 pm Eastern. The Phils will send to the mound their ace Cole Hamels (2-2, 4.95), who is coming off a strong performance on May 19 against the Reds, as he went six innings, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out seven, in the Phils' 4-3 win. He will be going for his three straight win and quailty start. The Yankees will oppose him with C.C. Sabathia (4-3, 3.43), who is coming off a win against the Orioles on May 19, going seven strong innings, giving up just one run on three hits and a walk, while striking out seven, in the Yankees' 9-1 win. He will be looking for his fifth win of the season. The Phillies will be looking to go back to Philly will three straight series wins and an 8-2 road trip.

Roberts discusses book on A-Rod
Author tells Network she feels star used PEDs with Yankees
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
Selena Roberts, who also co-authored the Sports Illustrated piece that led to Rodriguez's admission of steroid use in February, told MLB Network in an interview with Bob Costas that her reporting has led her to conclude that his usage of PEDs was not limited to his time with Texas.
"My reporting shows that he did," Roberts said. "My reporting shows that in his Yankee years, he was exhibiting side effects that were noticeable to teammates, that are consistent with the use of ... HGH with a low dose of testosterone."
Roberts' new book, "A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez," is due out in stores Monday.
In a 45-minute interview with Costas, Roberts addressed criticisms of her reporting, her own motives and her personal beliefs regarding her superstar subject.
The book also details how Rodriguez would tip pitches to opposing middle infielders in blowout games, in the hope that they would return the favor when he was batting.
Those charges are arguably even more inflammatory than his steroid use, the core of which Rodriguez has already revealed. The only contention regarding Rodriguez's use of performance-enhancing substances is precisely when he used them. Rodriguez admitted in February only to doing so while with the Rangers from 2001-03.
In her book, however, Roberts intimates that Rodriguez, facing the pressures of a baseball era shaped in part by known steroid user Jose Canseco, also used performance-enhancing substances at Westminster High School in Miami.
"He was really born into the steroid era," Roberts said. "He was a child of the Canseco era, too. So you have somebody who was born into it, who is in it and is of it, and I think there are so many enablers around him that I do believe he got caught up in a culture that was inescapable for him."
Roberts bases much of that claim on the fact that Rodriguez went from barely being able to bench press 100 pounds during his sophomore year of high school to being able to lift 310 pounds by his junior year.
One of his high school teammates, Major League first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, told the Los Angeles Times over the weekend that he never saw Rodriguez take performance-enhancing substances, and that it would have been "99.9 percent impossible" for him and his other teammates not to know.
Yet Roberts defended her reporting, the vast majority of which is attributed to unnamed sources.
"I used the same litmus test on all the sources," Roberts said. "The sources were obviously right. They were obviously credible."
The interview took place on the same day that the New York Times reported Major League Baseball investigators are looking into the accuracy of Rodriguez's statements about when he used performancec-enhancing substances. Rodriguez, in an interview with ESPN's Peter Gammons in February, originally admitted only to using over-the-counter supplements that triggered a positive steroid test. But he later admitted to injecting a steroid called "boli" with his cousin, later revealed to be Yuri Sucart.
Roberts questioned that story, claimed that Rodriguez actually received illegal substances from banned trainer Angel Presinal and latched onto the league's reported investigation as vindication for her skepticism.
"You don't investigate somebody if you just think they told you the truth," Roberts said.
Yet given the league's lack of subpoena power and the lack of hard evidence, Roberts said she did not expect the investigation to bear any punitive repercussions.
"That has been the thread throughout the steroid era," Roberts said. "It's so hard, and so difficult to make any anecdotes, to make allegations, to make even the visual evidence, to make the he-said, she-said stick, because the testing has not been there to back up the investigation."
Roberts also spent a portion of the interview defending the existence of her book, which critics have derided as an unnecessary attack on Rodriguez's character. Yankees manager Joe Girardi vocally denounced the book prior to Sunday's scheduled game that was rained out against the Angels, saying he does not "understand why someone would write a book like that, anyway."
Roberts said that she began her work under the assumption that Rodriguez was clean, and that the book grew more negative due to the nature of what her reporting uncovered.
"To say that he's not worthy of the book would be to say that he is not worthy of inspection, when he is one of the greatest players to play the game," Roberts said. "He's the richest player to play the game. He's somebody who's certainly been polarizing."
Rodriguez opted out of the final three years of a record $252 million contract during the 2007 World Series, only to re-sign with the Yankees for 10 years and $275 million.
The money, according to Roberts, hints at his psychological insecurities, which she says stem from a father that abandoned him and a "Joe DiMaggio" complex that made him yearn for the public spotlight. Much of the book details Rodriguez's personal life, particularly his relationship with pop icon Madonna and his resulting divorce.
Roberts said that she sees her book, particularly the early public outcry toward it, as an opportunity for Rodriguez to again endear himself to a once-adoring public. In her reporting, Roberts said, she found that many of her sources were actually sympathetic to the plight of the three-time AL MVP, statistically one of the game's greatest players of all time.
"A lot of them were very concerned about Alex Rodriguez," Roberts said. "A lot of them think, here's a guy who has such potential to do amazing things in baseball. He was so great he didn't need the embellishment. He didn't need the enhancement. He was a terrific player without becoming a tall tale."

have been working on ways for decades to trap tiny microscopic parts of a cell.
Today, scientists are going even further with the ability to trap even smaller
nanoscale particles using optical tweezers. The original optical tweezers used
on microscopic particles had issues with overheating that made them impractical
for use with smaller nanoscale particles.
Engineers at Harvard have been able to create a device that makes it easier to
isolate nanoparticles like viruses and tiny individual cellular components. The
optical tweezers use light from a laser to trap particles. The light is shined
through a microscope and the new design prevents overheating that was common in
older designs.
"We can get beyond the limitations of conventional optical tweezers,
exerting a larger force on a nanoparticle for the same laser power," says
principal investigator Ken Crozier, Associate Professor of Electrical
Engineering at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
The next generation optical tweezers are being called plasmonic nanotweezer and have an
integrated heatsink. The smaller the particles scientists are trying to trap,
the more laser energy is needed. The problem was that the researchers found
that the higher power laser would cause the water that the particles they
wanted to trap were suspended in to boil. The boiling occurred even when the
team used a heatsink made up of tiny gold discs submerged into the water.
The team found that replacing the sheet of glass with gold discs on it with a
sheet of silicon coated in copper and gold with raised gold pillars they were
able to dissipate the heat from the laser. That means the water didn't boil and
the particles the scientists wanted to trap were reachable.
"The gold, copper, and silicon under the pillars act just like the heat
sink attached to the chip in your PC, drawing the heat away," says lead author
Kai Wang (Ph.D. '11), who completed the work at SEAS and is now a postdoctoral
fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The team also found that they were able to rotate the trapped particles by
simply rotating the linear polarizer on the optical table where the experiments
were conducted. The electromagnetic field used in the experiments moved at 1014
rotations per second. However, the particle rotated at a velocity of about five
rotations per second due to fluid drag. The team calls that phenomenon a
terminal velocity.
Back in
2009, acoustic tweezers were being used to
target parts of a living cell.

Even though blood transfusions are safer than ever, they still carry risks, including the possibility of adverse reactions or viral and bacterial diseases. Through our Blood Conservation Program, we aim to reduce the need for blood transfusions.
Avoiding transfusions when possible offers a variety of benefits. Patients who don't have transfusions tend to heal better, have fewer infections and complications, and go home sooner than those who do receive blood. A wide range of patients can benefit from blood conservation. If you are scheduled for surgery and may be at risk for transfusion, talk to your doctor about your options.
With the Blood Conservation Program, effective alternative treatments and methods provide advanced medical and surgical care without the need for blood transfusions. We are the only hospital in the Lowcountry to offer such a program.
Blood conservation also helps to conserve the donated blood we have for those times when transfusion cannot be avoided. Learn more about donating blood.
If you have questions about transfusions and how to avoid them, contact our blood conservation coordinator—a registered nurse with specialized training in blood conservation—at 843-522-5293 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am working on a small application, just to practise File I/O.
The program creates a text document, named by the user, and then it adds both a string & an integer value to the file.
Here is the code wich creates the file:
The string value of data_stream_pointer is equal to the name of data_stream(wich is set by the user). I needed this in order to let the program find the text file wich was named by the user.Code:
char data_file[11]="unset";
cout<<"\n **First Run,\n\n *The program needs a source file, \n\n *Please enter source file name(max 10 char): ";
ofstream data_stream_pointer("Agent_Data_Loc.txt");
data_stream_pointer<<data_file; // just to be able to find
//the map named by the user
strcat(data_file, ".txt");
ofstream data_stream(data_file);
data_stream<<"Inside 1";
But the problem is, that I need to let the program extract an integer value FROM the file(named by the user), in this case I need to find the 1 inside data_stream. Is there any way to find and extract it? And how do I let the program detect if a file exists?

I'm managing a smallish (~50 computers) Windows 2003 domain with a DC "alpha" serving as PDC, DHCP, and DNS server for the school.lan domain. In its DNS settings, alpha is configured to forward to my ISP's DNS and Google's DNS (total of 4 forwards available). All this is now sitting behind a Fortigate 60D firewall, which provides anti-virus and web content filtering. I started out trying to achieve this:
- NAT for traffic routed to the WAN interface
- AD integration for SSO
- One UTM profile for AD group "students" and a different UTM profile for AD group "staff"
- Firewall policy 1: apply "staff" UTM profile for users authenticated as AD group "staff" members
- Firewall policy 2: apply "student" UTM profile for everything else
When I set this up, I found that if I was logged into a domain member computer as a member of AD group "staff", everything is fine, but if not I couldn't get out to the Internet at all. This was something of a surprise to me because I thought Policy 2 would catch everything that didn't fit Policy 1. Nonetheless, we press on... At this point I did confirm that the FortiGate is communicating properly with PDC "alpha", so that's good news. On to round 2:
- NAT for traffic routed to the WAN interface
- AD integration for SSO
- One UTM profile for AD group "students" and a different UTM profile for AD group "staff"
- Firewall policy 1: apply "staff" UTM profile for a single MAC address (a BYOD Windows 7 Home Premium laptop not joined to the domain)
- Firewall policy 2: apply "staff" UTM profile for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices (more BYOD)
- Firewall policy 3: apply "staff" UTM profile to users authenticated as AD group "staff" members and "students" UTM profile to users authenticated as AD group "student" members
- Firewall policy 4: apply "student" UTM profile to all other users.
With this configuration, everything seems to be "working" for my users, although I imagine if I plug something in that doesn't fit Policies 1-3, Policy 4 still won't let such a device connect to the Internet. Two issues though...One is that I have intermittent Internet problems. I think it's DNS because I'll type in a web address, the browser says it can't find the address in DNS. So I fire up a terminal window, nslookup the host (fail), nslookup the host again (succeed), then hit refresh in the browser (fail), then browse based on IP (success)...it's intermittent on a wide variety of sites, often only for 15-30 seconds at a time. The FortiGate DNS settings point to my ISP's DNS servers with the local domain set to "school.lan". The other issue is that the web filtering doesn't seem to be working 100% reliably. I'll see students playing games on some website X, and I'll check Fortigate's records to find the site is properly categorized as a "games" site that should be blocked, and yet there they are...but other sites in the same category are blocked effectively. I don't see anything that jumps out at me in the logs, but then I don't have a great idea what I should be seeking. Thoughts?
Forgot to mention...load doesn't seem to be the issue. I have the same problems no matter how many or how few users are active.

The pursuit began around 10:53 p.m. Sunday near East Third Street and South Erie Avenue. Russellville Police Officer Justin Conway witnessed suspicious activity in the area. When he tried to investigate the suspicious activity further, a pursuit ensued.
The officer witnessed several traffic violations and one accident while the vehicle tried to elude him. The vehicle's tires were punctured by a spike strip deployed by the Arkansas State Police near Atkins, where the pursuit ended.
The man, later identified as Harry Tackett, 34, fled on foot from the vehicle. He was apprehended a short distance from the vehicle by law enforcement.
The vehicle involved in the incident was believed to be stolen, along with several items that were in the vehicle.
Tackett was transported to the Pope County Detention Center and placed on a felony hold. He was charged with several traffic violations, fleeing, leaving the scene of an accident, theft of a motor vehicle, second-degree criminal mischief and DWI No. 2.
The Russellville Police Department would like to extend its gratitude toward the Pottsville Police Department, Atkins Police Department, Pope County Sheriff's Department and Arkansas State Police, which all assisted in Tackett's apprehension. The Russellville Police Department would also like to thank Officer Conway for his attentiveness and fortitude in helping apprehend Tackett.

Is a Bond Rating Downgrade Bad News, Good News, or No News for Stockholders?
The authors examine the reaction of common stock returns to bond rating changes. While recent studies find a significant negative stock response to downgrades, they argue that this reaction should not be expected for all downgrades because some rating changes are anticipated by market participants and downgrades because of an anticipated move to transfer wealth from bondholders to stockholders should be good news for stockholders. The authors find that downgrades associated with deteriorating financial prospects convey new negative information to the capital market but that downgrades due to changes in firms' leverage do not.

NY Life Insurance Agent Visits Cheyney University
December 2, 2012
Florence Norville-Cheek, MBA, gives first-hand information to CU students regarding possible internships with her employer, New York Life Insurance Company, located in Bala Cynwyd, PA.
Cheyney University business students got a treat Thursday, November 29th, 2012 when Florence Norville-Cheek, MBA, talked to them about a number of internship opportunities at her office in Bala Cynwyd, PA. The Financial Services Professional for New York Life Insurance Company came to campus specifically to help them get ahead and succeed in the working world.
"New York Life Insurance Company has been around for 55 years," she said. "We hired the first African American insurance agent in the nation." According to Norville-Cheek, "we look for students with at least a 2.0 grade point average who are independent thinkers, teachable, hard-working, willing to follow the rules, and interested in serving and helping others. We want someone with integrity who is entrepreneurially-inclined," she told them.
Reverend Elisha Morris, Coordinator of Cheyney University's Internship Institute, is responsible for bringing Norville-Cheek and others to campus as part of a series of workshops to empower and prepare students for internship and job interviews.
"Company Human Resource Managers tell me that today's students fall short because they are not prepared for interviews," he explained. "They don't research the companies; they can't answer basic questions like where they see themselves in five years, what their future plans are or why they want to work for the company. They also don't dress appropriately," Morris said. "These workshops are designed to prepare the students for those types of interviews."
While on campus, Norville-Cheek sat down with Dr. Donna Parker, Dean of Faculty and Academic Schools, to discuss possible internship and career opportunities for CU students at New York Life Insurance Company. She previously met with CU's new Vice President for University Advancement & External Relations, Nancy L. Jones, to discuss developing a planned giving program.
Interns in her office, Norville-Cheek said, would work with young parents to help them protect what they have, start an education fund for their children and work with older adults to set up retirement and long-term healthcare funds.

The Ignacio High School boys basketball team won every quarter but the fourth.
And that was plenty.
The Bobcats beat Paonia 66-49 on Friday night to easily advance to the Class 2A Region 3 title game, where a win will land them in the CHSAA Class 2A Boys State Championships elite eight.
Credit Paonias Ben Linnell for the final-frame margin compression at Durango High School.
Linnell scored half of the Ealges fourth-quarter points, but that wasnt unusual his 25 points led all scorers and made up more than half of Paonias total.
In fact, his beyond-the-arc jumper was about the only thing the Bobcats couldnt stop Friday. Linnell scored 18 of his points from 3-point range.
I dont usually jump very high on my 3s, and I was doing that (Friday), Linnell said. And they went in.
Very high doesnt really do Linnells hops justice. He practically jumped over the IHS defense, once the Bobcats figured out they needed to keep him covered.
You dont meet a lot of kids who jump out the gym and shoot the ball down at the rim, IHS head coach Chris Valdez said.
But the Eagles didnt get much else against Ignacios rugged post defense, which Valdez credited for his teams rout.
Justin Carver, Adison Jones, Austin Haire and Kelton Richmond played the rotating door down low, getting pushy with the Eagles big men and shutting down their inside-out game.
In the first quarter, Paonia didnt score a single point from the paint.
We played with good intensity, Wyatt Hayes said.
Defense was the whole key, Adison Jones said. We forced them into some turnovers.
Maybe not the whole key: The Bobcats scored plenty of points, too.
Paonia had no answer for the versatile Jones, who had defenders popping up all over the place down low, then had them staring when he launched from beyond the 3-point line.
Jones finished with a team-high 16 points, including three 3s after halftime.
First half, just getting used to the gym, and then the second half, I just came on, he said.
Richmond busted the board for a dozen more, as Valdez explained Richmonds propensity to use the glass down low, and Carver added 12, too.
Clayton Jefferson went 6-for-6 from the foul line and finished with nine points.
Inside-out (play), hit some 3 pointers, try to get some post-ups, Valdez said. A little bit of everything.
The Bobcats leapt to a quick 14-4 lead in the first quarter, spurred by Hayes 3-pointer to open scoring.
And that 3-0 score was as close as Paonia ever would get to Ignacio.
By halftime, Ignacio led 32-16, and the Bobcats rode Jones big third quarter to a 20-point lead after three quarters.
We just werent hustling on defense, Linnell said.
The Bobcats (19-5) will play Lutheran (17-5), who beat Sargent 68-24 in the other semifinal.
The regional championship game will be played at 2:30 p.m. today at DHS.

If you haven't read the short story "Unbroken" by Micky Neilsen on the official site, please do so. Not only does it give you a real sense of the development of the draenei during the Rise of the Horde period and after, it helps one understand the tone of this series of posts exploring the elemental spirits of the Warcraft universe.
We experience elementals on both Azeroth and Outland as we play World of Warcraft. While some pretty significant differences between those two worlds and their elementals exist (for instance, there are four named elemental lords involved in the events of Azerothian history who do not seem to have nearly the same influence on the development of Draenor before it became Outland), the spirits themselves seem to share similarities worth exploring.
Practiced on both Azeroth (by the tauren) and Draenor (by the orcs) the art of shamanism is more akin to symbiosis than that practiced by arcanists (who control or command mystical forces) or priests and paladins (who seem to either supplicate or demand the power of the Light). And while druids and shamans share certain similarities, a druid's power comes more from a relationship with the Emerald Dream that suffuses the living world and less with the component elements. Shamans concern themselves with the complex interplay between the elemental building blocks of existence. It is almost his role to act as a mediator, allowing them to work in harmony together.

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : Meditation Subjects, development and Signs
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @ SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
CMA IX, p.329-331 (excerpt):
The compendium of meditation subjects for developing calm (samatha) is sevenfold: 1. ten kasi.nas, 2. ten kinds of foulness, 3. ten recollections, 4. four illimitables, 5. one perception, 6. one analysis, and 7. four immaterial states. These seven categories amount to forty separate meditation subjects.
The three stages of mental development are: preliminary development, access development, and absorption development. Preliminary development occurs from the time one begins the practice of meditation up to the time the five hindrances are suppressed and the counterpart sign emerges. Access development occurs when the five hindrances become suppressed and the counterpart sign emerges. It endures from the moment the counterpart sign arises up to the change-of-lineage citta (gotrabhuu) in the cognitive process culminates in jhaana. The citta that immediately follows change-of-lineage is called absorption. This marks the beginning of absorption development, which occurs at the level of the fine-material sphere jhaanas or the immaterial-sphere jhaanas.
The three signs should be understood as: the preliminary sign, the learning sign, and the counterpart sign.
The preliminary sign is the original object of concentration used during the preliminary stage of practice. The learning sign is a mental replica of the object preceived in the mind exactly as it appears to the physical eyes. The mentally visualized image freed of all defects is the counterpart sign. The counterpart sign, it is said, "appears as if breaking out from the learning sigh, and a hundred times or a thousand times more purified, ... like the moon's disk coming out from behind the cloud" (Vism. IV, 31).
CMA IX, p. 340:
Of the three signs, the preliminary sign and the learning sign are generally found in relation to every object, in the appropriate way. But the counterpart sign is found only in the kasi.nas, foulness, the (32) parts of the body, and the mindfulness of breathing. It is by means of the counterpart sign that access concentration and absorption concentration occur.

Someday I plan to own my own home. I also plan to build this house. Of course, I will have to get some help from my Dad, who is a master at all things construction. To date, while I am handy with a hammer, I have only successfully built a rickety tea shelf. With the downturn in the housing market as well as the economy and the fact that my generation is the first not anticipated to exceed our parents, this is the only kind of house I am likely to afford. Let's face it, ministry does not pay that well.
Tiny homes are more than just a fad in the housing market along with Cargotecture and houses constructed out of straw bales. Tiny homes are a great way to cultivate a lifestyle of Christian stewardship and love for neighbor. With the amount of over-sized and large mortgaged homes being foreclosed upon in America, a smaller home does make sense. Tiny homes are typically around 100 ft², as opposed to the almost 2,500 ft² average American home. Tiny homes can get as small as 64 ft² or as large as 200 ft² and are usually built on trailer hitches. Trailer hitches make these tiny homes mobile and help the homeowner avoid government regulations.
Several companies currently build prefabricated tiny homes, or sell plans so that tiny home enthusiasts such as me can build their own homes. The Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, is perhaps the largest and most popular of the tiny house companies that have sprung up in recent years. Tumbleweed has several models most of which can be purchased completely finished for under $50,000 or DIY for around $20,000. Another company, Tiny Texas Houses, only builds prefabricated houses. These houses are uniquely created for each individual and made out of almost 100% salvaged materials.
This summer I was lucky enough to stay in a modified Fencl, one of the Tumbleweed models. The official square footage for the house is 130 ft²; however, this does not count the sleeping loft. 130 ft² does not seem like a lot of space. In fact, it is around the size of an average bathroom. This small space provides all the amenities (toilet, shower, stovetop, sink, mini-fridge, sitting area, sleeping area, storage) that a single person or a very close and happy couple need.
There are several reasons that I consider tiny homes a positive move toward Christian stewardship and the divine commandment to love ones neighbor. Tiny homes use much less construction waste and emit a fraction of the greenhouse gases. Utilities even in cold parts of the country cost around $65 dollars a year. This not only saves money and the environment, but also cuts down on waste.
In a tiny home, there is no room for anything (dishes, books, clothing, etc…) that is not used frequently. Tiny homes help cut down on consumerism, over-consumption and clutter. Furthermore, with only a mini-fridge and limited counter space to store food there is less possibility for food waste.
Most tiny homeowners spend more time outside. This was certainly true for me. The lovely Fencl that I stayed in was located on the Olympic coast enabling and encouraging me to spend much more time outside then I normally would. I visited the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and went to the beach several times throughout my trip. There is nothing like spending time outside to continue encouraging me to be actively to care about the environment.
Hospitality is the one thing that is a bit limited in a tiny home. During my stay, I had my entire family and roommate over for lunch. The Fencl was big enough to accommodate five people eating and playing a fierce game of Scrabble. However, it hardly seems like hospitality when you have to ask the guests to bring their own chairs. In a tiny home, it is easy to be hospitable to a few who by no means struggle with claustrophobia. Larger gatherings necessitate larger spaces. I would not find anything wrong with more celebrations, birthday bashes and parties with the neighbors in church. What would our Churches, neighborhoods and lives look like if our central place of gathering was not the home, but instead the Church?
Tiny homes are not for everyone. They are simply too small to accurately provide for a family or realistically more than one person. However if you want to live the righteous existence of a monk or nun, even if it is just for a few years, a tiny home could be for you.
§ 5 Responses to "A TINY REVOLUTION"
Outstanding post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Bless you!
Wonderful article, especially with such a tough housing market. I pray it turns around soon.
thank you for all your efforts that you have put in this. Very interesting info. "Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason why it was put up." by Gilbert Keith Chesterton.
Hey Heather,
Saw your blog post here and I thought I should tell you the bad news that those comments are fake/spam, sorry to break that to you, http://akismet.com/ for WordPress can caught most of them.
But on the bright side, I plan to build a tiny house one way or another, whether successful or with a kick starter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1291194015/1507549901?token=f89f5c6f , or we pay out of pocket I'm building one. While I won't be permanently living in mine, thus a much smaller size, do plan to take it on trips like this years Burning Man. I should mention that I'm not a fan of Tumbleweed Tiny House Company and such because I just see people with dollar signs in their eye's. Which is why eventually, hopefully kickstarter makes it sooner, I plan to share how to videos, digital blueprints, photos, and our story while we build our Tiny House with anyone for free.
Thanks for the good read,

INDIANAPOLIS-Following the inauguration of Indiana's 50th Governor, Senate Democratic Leader Tim Lanane (D-Anderson) met with Governor Mike Pence and legislative leadership. Sen. Lanane shared the following remarks:
"The governor's inclusion of Statehouse leadership from day-one is a much appreciated gesture and I think sets us on good footing to tackle some of the state's most pressing issues as a unified front.
"Job creation along with worker education and training are two issues the governor campaigned on and it is my hope that these initiatives become the main focus of his legislative agenda.
"It was gratifying to hear Governor Pence state that he is a governor for all people. We need to steer clear of contentious social issues that divide our state and instead focus on building Indiana on a foundation of public policy that benefits all Hoosiers.
"The governor was right to highlight jobs, workforce development, education, and quality of life in his address today. These are the issues that strengthen our communities and encourage others to join us in the Hoosier state.
"Building upon these issues in a way that attracts all citizens looking to help Indiana grow is something we must strive for. That's means putting aside a few of our social differences to come together and move Indiana forward."

Bailey Reds' lone remaining arbitration case
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Six down, one to go in Reds arbitration cases. Now that Mat Latos signed a two-year deal on Tuesday, rotation mate Homer Bailey is the only one left for the club.
There are no indications a deal will get done soon. Bailey's arbitration hearing is scheduled for Monday.
"It's kind of a slow process. We'll see how it goes and go from there," Bailey said on Wednesday.
The Reds have not gone to an arbitration hearing since defeating Chris Reitsma in 2004. This week, Shin-Soo Choo signed a one-year, $7.3 million contract to avoid arbitration. Last month, reliever Logan Ondrusek signed a two-year, $2.3 million deal with lots of incentive clauses. Pitcher Mike Leake was signed to a one-year, $3.06 million contract last week. Outfielder Chris Heisey got a one-year, $1.325 million contract and reliever Alfredo Simon inked a one-year, $890,000 contract.
Latos' deal was worth $11.5 million and came just before his hearing was scheduled.
"I think both sides really don't want to go to hearing, on any case -- not just mine," Bailey said. "It's good they reached an agreement with Mat. I know he was looking forward to it. I'm sure the organization is glad they got that done."
When numbers were exchanged in January, Bailey filed at $5.8 million, while the club offered $4.75 million – a difference of $1,050,000. Represented by the Hendricks Brothers, he avoided arbitration last winter by signing a one-year, $2.5 million contract.
Baker unenthused about Cueto playing in Classic
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds ace Johnny Cueto said Tuesday he would like to pitch for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.
On Wednesday, Reds manager Dusty Baker wasn't too enthusiastic about the idea.
"Not especially," Baker said. "I can understand the pressures that come from pitching and being from Latin America. There is more national pride than anybody I've almost seen."
Cueto was not listed on the provisional Classic roster submitted by the Dominicans last month. He is coming off a strained right oblique injury suffered during the playoffs, but says he's been pain free the entire off-season.
In 2009, when Cueto and then-teammate Edinson Volquez pitched in the Classic for the Dominican, both players spent time on the disabled list. Cueto suffered inflammation in his right shoulder in August while Volquez suffered a torn elbow ligament and needed Tommy John surgery.
However, Baker understands why pitchers like Cueto want to represent their country.
"You see how big the Caribbean Series for bragging rights is in Latin America, where they think it could be where the best overall baseball is played," Baker said. "I've played in Mexico, Venezuela and Puerto Rico, so I know the pressures that come from being there. All I know is the last time they played was the year Volquez and Cueto both came up hurt."
Cingrani to remain a starter in spring camp
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The plan remains to have Reds lefty pitching prospect Tony Cingrani pitch as a starter in camp. The expectation is that Cingrani can begin the season at Triple-A Louisville and be backup depth if someone in the big league rotation goes down.
As a September call-up, Cingrani worked out of the bullpen, but the Reds don't have any thoughts on doing that this season.
"He can always relieve," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "But he's got to work on his breaking ball to make him a complete pitcher. There aren't many power left-handers around. The ones that are, are very good."
Cingrani, 23, was the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2012 after he went a combined 10-4 with a 1.73 ERA at Class A Bakersfield and Double-A Pensacola. He posted a 1.80 ERA in three appearances for the Reds.
"He knows he can pitch," Baker said. "He's one of the few guys I've seen that pitches with just his fastball and occasional breaking balls and some changeups."
Worth noting
• Reds outfielder Jay Bruce and third baseman Jack Hannahan were the latest early arrivals to camp among position players. Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips are among those who have not been seen but they aren't required to report until Friday.
• Cueto, Bailey, Latos, Leake, Aroldis Chapman, Sean Marshall and Jonathan Broxton were among the pitchers who threw their first bullpen sessions of Spring Training on Wednesday.
