It's a wonderful life, coaching.
Cole: Collapsing coaches a sign of the times
Postmedia News
"The failures of the season had burdened Kubiak; two players told me they hadn't seen any sign of him leaving the facility in days." — Robert Klemko, writing for Monday Morning Quarterback.
The closeup footage of Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, as he dropped to one knee on the way off the field at halftime of the Sunday Night Football game, showed a face contorted in pain, eyes squeezed shut, while medical personnel rushed to his aid.
He was wheeled off the field, taken to hospital in an ambulance and placed on blood thinners consistent with treatment for a stroke, according to a report by NFL Network insider Adam Schefter.
"I had the TV on after we put the kids to bed, and I looked up and saw this and turned the volume up," said B.C. Lions head coach Mike Benevides, "and (wife) Judy said to me: 'See? You guys need to be careful. That's what can happen, right there!'"
A day earlier, Denver Broncos head coach John Fox, playing a game of golf while enjoying his team's bye week, was hospitalized after feeling light-headed. He had successful aortic valve surgery Monday.
"Well, first of all, he shouldn't have been playing golf," says Wally Buono, only half-kidding. A survivor of heart surgery himself, the B.C. Lions' GM found out he had 90% blockage of a major artery in August of 2004, but kept it a secret until after the Grey Cup, when he could spare the time to have the operation.
Monday morning, the Edmonton Eskimos fired head coach Kavis Reed, and any day now, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will do the same to Tim Burke. Most of their assistant coaches no doubt will follow them down the road.
It's a wonderful life, coaching.
"I'm not going to tell you that the pressures, the workload and the lifestyle are conducive to good health — they're not," said Buono, who retired in 2011 as the winningest head coach in Canadian Football League history.
"But that's a choice I made, a choice coaches make. You know the health risks, and you know that you're always vulnerable … like, Kavis Reed. No matter how much he gave of himself, no matter how much stress and anxiety he endured, at the end of it, if you don't produce they fire you.
"I'm not crying about it. They always thank you, but in the end they show you door. It absolves a lot of other people."
You ask Buono, or Benevides, or really anyone in the position, why they don't find another way to make a living, and the answer's always the same. Like what? Where else would you feel the rush, the competition, the passion for the game, where would you find the satisfaction of helping individuals gel into a team, the opportunity to direct armies a few yards from the fields of battle?
"It's all of that," said Benevides, nearing the end of his second season as Buono's successor and protege. "I try to explain it to my friends, but they don't understand. They say, 'You're going to work seven months straight without a weekend, without a day off, plus you don't have a pension and guess what: you're going to sleep four or five hours a day and you're not going to really see your kids and, oh yeah, I don't really know what we're going to do with you after December.'
"I guess there's not really many things there that you'd be excited about, and yet I just love it."
Benevides saw the story about Edmonton Oilers coach Dallas Eakins taking his children to school and having kids yell: "You suck!" at him. The Lions coach has had similar experiences.
"It's toughest on the families. There's (broken) families littered across this business. The kids hurt more than we do sometimes, because they miss us, and they get ridiculed for what we do and they don't understand it and it's no fault of theirs — it's what their crazy father decided to do for a living.
"When you sign up for it, you know that's all part of the deal, but in a way it's kind of selfish."
Benevides first got his foot in the door as a guest coach at Calgary Stampeders camp, under Buono, because of a vacancy created when Jim Daley had to have a heart procedure. He was on the Lions' staff when Dave Ritchie had quadruple bypass surgery around the same time Buono did.
"It's all around me, it's undeniable, so what makes me bulletproof? That's what really terrifies Judy," Benevides said. "The man who kept the (bucket of) ice water from being thrown on Wally after we won the (2004) the Western final — because we all knew something was up with his heart — was Richard Harris, God rest his soul."
Harris, who had been the Lions' defensive line coach, was in that position with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when he died of a massive heart attack in late July, 2011. He was found slumped over his desk, in the football office.
Some of the images of coaches on the sidelines are stunning. New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin looks likes he is suppressing a coronary after every play. Washington coach Mike Shanahan has the complexion of a man whose blood pressure is through the roof.
At least most NFL coaches are protected by pensions, though some NFL teams have opted out of the plan. In the CFL, whether you're a legend or a newbie, a head coach or assistant, the pension plan is …
"Zero. And in our league, the multi-year contract is a rarity, most guys are on a year-to-year," Benevides said. "You have to take care of yourself, and plan long-range, and you have to have an understanding family, because there is no security."
So it's kind of important, also, to remain alive. Dying on the job doesn't get the bills paid.
Benevides said the Lions coaches get checked out every April by the team's medical staff, but stress changes everything.
"I clearly remember recently getting so amped up that I went, 'Whoa! I kind of got a head rush there,'" he said. "If stress is the No. 1 killer, with what's gone on this weekend with Coach Fox and Coach Kubiak, I guarantee you this conversation is happening all over North America, with all staffs. Because it's too easy to work and sleep in your office and order pizza."
So, to sum up, how's that lifestyle working out?
"I don't recommend it," Benevides said.
"Judy will always ask me: 'Why do you have the TV on (watching football) when you do this every day, all day?' I just love watching it. Ask Wally, he went down to Seattle (Sunday) just to watch the Seahawks play. I think it's something that you can't get rid of."
It's in their DNA. Like sitting in dark rooms watching game film, and smoking post-game cigars.
"I'm not giving up my cigars," Benevides said.
"Does Wally still smoke them?" he was asked.
"I don't believe I'm allowed to tell you that," he said.

Picks revealed for free Central Park plays
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Public Theater will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Shakespeare in the Park series this summer with a little Bard and a little Sondheim.
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Public Theater will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Shakespeare in the Park series this summer with a little Bard and a little Sondheim.
The Public said Thursday that Daniel Sullivan will direct "As You Like It" in June with Lily Rabe as Rosalind. A month later, Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel will direct Stephen Sondheim's and James Lapine's "Into the Woods."
Both works will be free at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. Additional casting and dates will be announced later.
The Shakespeare comedy reunites Rabe and Sullivan, who combined in 2010 in the park with a thrilling production of "The Merchant of Venice" led by Al Pacino as Shylock that transferred to Broadway and earned Tony Award nominations for all three.
The Sondheim musical, a reimagining of beloved classic fairy tales that opened on Broadway in 1987, will be based on the Olivier Award-winning Regent's Park Open Air Theatre London production in 2010, which also was directed by Sheader and Steel. The original Broadway cast featured Bernadette Peters and a 2002 revival starred Vanessa Williams.
"I'm delighted that we are adding Stephen Sondheim to the Delacorte's roster: our greatest artist of musical theatre will sit very comfortably next to Shakespeare," Oskar Eustis, artistic director of The Public Theater, said in a statement. "Sondheim in the Park has a good ring to it."
The Delacorte Theater officially opened in Central Park on June 18, 1962, with a production of "The Merchant of Venice," directed by Joseph Papp and Gladys Vaughan and featuring George C. Scott as Shylock. Since then, stars including James Earl Jones, Kevin Kline, Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Raul Julia and Christopher Walken have acted on its stage.

Actress Naomi Watts walked out of a U.K. radio interview as she was promoting her new movie "Diana."
The Hollywood star was chatting about the biopic, in which she plays Diana, Princess Of Wales, on BBC Radio 5 broadcast Kermode & Mayo when she decided she had had enough and left.
Host Simon Mayo took to Twitter to tell fans about the encounter, admitting he had no idea what he had done to offend Watts.
He tweeted, "A first for me… as Naomi Watts walked out of an interview! She seemed a tad uncomfortable with the questions. Shame."
When one follower asked if the interview would air this Friday, Mayo explained, "It's for next week I think. Ron Howard this week. He stayed for the full interview. … The honest answer is I have no idea (how I upset Watts). You know my hectoring style is always a problem. … Didn't express any opinion (about the film). So still baffled."
U.K. columnist Allison Pearson later tweeted, "So Naomi Watts stormed out of Simon Mayo's interview today. That explains why she was heavily guarded by the time I went in. Cheers, Simon!" to which he replied, "Apologies then. … I feel I was probably picking up someone (else's) pieces too."
Watts has yet to comment on the incident.

Hermosillo, the reigning New Jersey-bred Horse of the Year and champion Handicap Horse, returns to square off against state-bred company on Saturday when he defends his title in the $75,000 Charles Hesse III Handicap. The stakes is the featured race of 10 to be run as part of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival at Monmouth Park.
Hermosillo may share his name with the capital of the Sonora region of Mexico, but he is a true son of the Garden State. Bred by Monmouth based trainer Eddie Broome and owned by Kenwood racing LLC, the 8-year-old gelding has made 39 of his 65 starts at Monmouth and eight of his 11 wins were on this track. During his 2011 fall campaign, he racked up three consecutive victories here and the highlight was the Hesse.
"He hasn't run much this year and he takes his time between races now. He has his little things that catch up with him and we have to back off, but I was able to train him up to this race," said trainer Stephen DiMauro. "As an eight-year-old, you're not sure if he's lost a step or not. This race will show us, I guess. He tries hard every time and hopefully, he'll run his best race."
The 1 1/16 mile handicap on the main track is named in honor of the late Charles Hesse III, who owned and operated Char-Mari Stable with his wife, Marianne. Mr. Hesse's father built the original Monmouth Park racing strip in 1946.
Hermosillo has been assigned top weight of 120 pounds in the field of 11 and he'll get a rematch with Goombada Guska, who finished second last year in the Hesse while racing for Turtle Bird Stable and trainer Steve Asmussen. In Goombada Guska's last race he was claimed for $15,000 by Patricia Farro for Juve Stab.
"He's training good. We got a nice two-minute lick into him the other day," said Mike Farro, the assistant to his wife. "We're going to put the blinkers back on him for this race because he wore them when he was racing good before. He's ready to go."
Benny or Local will also contest the Hesse but it would be folly to assume that the principals of Jersey Shore Racing Stable named their homebred for their trainer Ben Perkins, Jr.
"Local day-trippers to the Jersey Shore are called 'Bennys'", said Perkins while explaining some local culture. "The name comes from the New Jersey Transit line, where the baggage handlers on the train would slap a sticker on the luggage that read BENNY and they'd check off the destination. Benny stands for Bayonne-Elizabeth-Newark-New York. So when you were on the train, you were going there or coming here."
The New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival will be renewed for the 10th time and the day will celebrate the best of the state-bred racing program. The special events include an appearance by the Perkins-trained Joey P., one of the most popular horses to race at Monmouth Park and the earner of more than $1 million before his retirement. Three stakes races on the 10-race card for New Jersey-breds only and the induction of the inaugural class into the New Jersey-bred Hall of Fame are part of the day.
Sweet Cali Cat has been awfully kind to the Kromann family and their blue hen
has the chance to rack up even more accolades when two of her daughters take on seven other fillies and mares in the $60,000 Jersey Girl Handicap on Saturday.
Hotnslick, a three-time state-bred winner during the current Monmouth meet, and Y to Kat, who beat open company on this track in July, will run as an entry in the 1 1/16 mile contest. The race is one of the 10 restricted to New Jersey-breds for the New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival being celebrated at Monmouth on Saturday, and Sweet Cali Cat's son Thenewmanintown will run in a maiden special for juveniles earlier on the card.
"She's a good old mare; she just keeps producing horses who are competitive at this level," said Lloyd Kromann, who trains the stock that is owned by his wife, Geraldine, and bred by their son, Charles. "We've been breeding and racing in New Jersey for 30 years."
Geraldine Kromann is a retired educator who was formerly the principal at the Ranney School and Chesterbrook Academy before the merger of those two private schools. She is now the secretary of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association of New Jersey and an active voice for the organization.
"We're really very excited about New Jersey-bred day," she said
When Hotnslick made every pole a winning one her last time out here on August 30, the earnings for Sweet Cali Cat's progeny surpassed $1 million.
What cold be better than free money? That would be free money to bet with and possibly multiply at Monmouth Park on Saturday. As part of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival, everyone coming to the track may enter a drawing and two lucky winners will receive a $500 wagering voucher before each of the 10 races on the card for a total of $10,000 in free wagers.

Now in her early 40s, Tricia Wheeler remains good friends with several of her sorority sisters she met at Ohio State University.
Now in her early 40s, Tricia Wheeler remains good friends with several of her sorority sisters she met at Ohio State University.
Wheeler's mother taught her to cook as a little girl back in Akron, but that wasn't the case with some of the young women she encountered during her time as a law-enforcement major. To this day, Wheeler said, some of her friend struggle with meal planning and have a hard time coping with dinner guests.
To help people like her old sorority sisters, the Upper Arlington-area resident has opened a "recreational cooking school" at 3674 N. High St. in Clintonville.
It's called the Seasoned Farmhouse.
"I felt like the timing of really connecting people to where food comes from and what's happening in our own community was really important work," Wheeler said last week. "We have a cooking problem here in this country. We've lost some of those skills being passed down."
For Wheeler, it's a dream -- albeit a deferred one -- come true.
"I was a really passionate home entertainer and always reading cookbooks," she said.
But for the first 10 years after she graduated from OSU, she ran a security and background check firm in Columbus. When another company acquired her enterprise, it freed Wheeler to enroll at what was then the French Culinary Institute, now the International Culinary Institute, in New York City.
"The International Culinary Center is different," according to its website, "because it prepares you for the whole world out there, not just the kitchen."
Wheeler, who graduated first in her class in 2009, said her goal wasn't to become the next Julia Child but to learn how to instruct others in being better home cooks.
"For me, just the history and the tradition, it's really the foundation of everything we do," Wheeler said. "I really appreciate the classics and the history behind it. I was always drawn to learning that way."
Now she wants to teach that way. A few simple techniques, she said, can hold a cook in good stead.
"If you learn those basic techniques, then you can just apply them," Wheeler said.
In addition to a kitchen where students can learn a variety of cooking styles -- from high-end French cuisine that requires four eight-week sessions to down-home fare -- the Seasoned Farmhouse has a learning garden, cookbook library, specialty culinary boutique and private event space.
"We always try to emphasize local ingredients in what we do, because we believe they do taste better when it's grown close to home," Wheeler said. "I always envisioned this not being built around myself but being built around other talented instructors.
"We just really want to be a hub of culinary activity, from the kitchen and the garden."
Wheeler said she settled on a former dentist's office in Clintonville as home for her business because of its central location, although remodeling the building was a bit taxing for her contractor husband, Richard.
"We really took a white elephant of a building and turned it into something pretty," she said. "I think Clintonville's a very welcoming community and already engaged in supporting their local foods."

Hi all
I have started this thread to keep all of our boss strategies in one spot for Heroic Emerald Nightmare. Please use this thread to post your comments and strategies below. I will update this main post.
The first 2 bosses we will be working on are Nythendra and Dragons of Nightmare.
So we basically know the strat for this boss. we just need to clean it up. Make sure you are depositing rot in the correct places. And make sure you are not getting hit by the rot on the ground and the pulsing bugs in phase 2.
I have also noticed since watching the video that we need to be spread out about 8 yds to avoid the pulsing damage from the rot when you get hit by it. Also in heroic, there is a stacking debuff that accumulates every time you take damage. This debuff is reset after each phase. Also in phase two, the rot deposited on the ground in phase one, moves to the boss. This is why it is important to have a clear area to move to in phase two.
HH has suggested that we tank the boss on a wall. And we can try that on our next attempts.
Here are the Fatboss TV videos. Please watch them as they give great information.
Full Guide
Wowhead strategy guide
Dragons of Nightmare
So we just split into two equal as possible groups. Kill adds before boss. Tanks swap at 5-7 stacks. Don't stand in anything that looks bad, Soak flowers and dispel roots.
There are a lot of little abilities that can be annoying to deal with, so please read thru the guide.
Each dragon has a specific ability while in the air that we have to deal with.
Emeriss gains Corruption of the Dream. Basically a mushroom spawns when an add dies. Move away from the mushroom
Lethon gains Shadow Burst. This will hit 2 players.This is basically a debuff that after 10 seconds shoots shadow bolts to the 3 nearest players. The bolts apply a light dot and slow for 21 seconds. This can stack. It can be dispelled if the healers are not busy dispelling Defiled Vines.
Taerar gains Bellowing Roar. This is a 3 second fear with slow. There is nothing we can really do about it, so just deal with it.
This is in addition to the regular mechanics we have to deal with. So yes, there are a lot of mechanics.
There is way to much to list here. Please read thru the wowhead guide.
FatBoss TV Videos
Full Guide
Wowhead guide
The next boss we will be working on is Elerethe Renferal
Elerethe Renferal
The main things to remember here is to make sure we are dealing with the debuffs right. When we make sure the poison goo and the whirlwinds are put in the correct spot, things go a lot smoother. If you get linked with someone, stay close to them. When feeding time happens, spread out and try to kill the adds as close the poison goo as possible. Also watch out for eggs and dont get to close to them, they spawn adds. Gathering clouds we need to run against and stay as close to the boss as you can.
In phase two, use the web bridges to get to the other side. Tank and Healers are the first to grab Shimmering Feather's. If you get Twisting Shadows, you can "clean up" a badly placed green goo spot. And then drop of Twisting Shadows in the designated area. Tanks have a specific taunt cycle here. Razor wing is a frontal cone attack, so stay behind the boss.

Basically we kite the boss slowly around the room. Everyone stays in front of the boss. When you get gaze run to the middle of the room. Soak teams be sure to soak the charge if it is your turn. Watch for the red debuff, this tells you if you can soak or not.

With this fight they are different adds we are trying to "cleanse" to activate its buff. The Buffs are specific to the add we cleanse, so be aware!!! The other adds that we dont cleanse become targets. I will call out which targets to kill first. HuntingHawk usually calls out which adds we are trying to cleanse by getting a majority of the raid to stand next to it. Clear your stacks of Creeping Nightmares when it hits 20 stacks. When we are on the dragon, move out of the breath. When its the tree we are killing, we stack up on the tree. The Sisters have a kick rotation. Also during this phase is a debuff called Brambles. This debuff targets a random player and moves towards them dropping roots on the ground. Stay out of the roots, and kite the brambles out of the raid.
Phase Two is our burn phase. The Tanks have a certain mitigation cycle they use to keep the whole platform from turning red. When Malfirion gets roots, when to dps them off. Stay out of the red ooze on the ground, and pop cooldowns.

A Slice of Life: Confessions of a Lunch Box Trader...
Believe me, I feel his pain. You see, I was a lunch box trader. There, I said it. You probably knew a kid like me--the pathetic kid with the apple. Yup, that was me. I was the kid sitting at that table in the gymacafatorium with my bruised apple rolling around at the bottom of my metal Peanuts lunch box. Squished tuna sandwich wrapped in wax paper. No mayo. Frozen milk bought at school. No soda for this kid. Mom was a woman ahead of her time. She wanted me to be healthy. I just wanted a Twinkie. Oh, how I envied those kids with the Twinkies. Why couldn't I have a Twinkie like everyone else?
Years later, when I was in my twenties, I finally confessed to my Mom about the trading thing. She was shocked. Shocked. "Some kid was perfectly happy to get that apple," she said. Frankly, I could never figure out why anybody wanted my apple. Actually, I still can't. Even today, given the choice of a Twinkie or an apple, I'd go with the Twinkie in a heartbeat if I didn't know any better. Today we have cholesterol. Ah, those innocent days of youth.
I hate to admit it, but yes, I've become my mother. Once I became a mom I knew it was just a matter of time. I hear stuff coming out of my mouth that my mother use to say. And despite that, NO, my son will NOT be taking a Cosmic Brownie for morning snack. I don't care if everyone does it. NO Cosmic Brownie. End of story.
What was in your lunch box? Were you the apple, or were you the Twinkie? I really want to know...

LOVE it, Cynthia. Absolutely love it.
I lusted after Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple, at that (blueberry if apple was unavailable). I'd have traded the entire lunch, box and sister for one.
The truly humbling thing is Krispy Kreme is selling Apple Fruit pies in our supermarket. Do you think I can just walk past the display? Of course not. And so I stand there mentally trading all the things I won't eat so I can have just one. I even whine. It doesn't get much worse than turning into your mother AND regressing to a nine year old in the same internal conversation. Do I get points for both?

I don't remember ever trading anything in my brown paper lunch bag (never had a lunch box). I ate the same lunch every day all through elementary school (except good Fridays during Lent)... bologna and mayo on white bread sandwich, piece of fruit, something sweet (often baked that morning) like a cookie, cake, cinnamon roll, etc. On Lenten Fridays the sandwich was tuna salad with mayo. I bought chocolate milk once a week (that's as often as it was offered), otherwise I drank water. I was allowed to buy a hot lunch occasionally when they had pizza or turkey. Life was simple back then...

I was definitely the one with the apple in my lunchbox. Would have loved to trade it for a Twinkie-sometimes. But mostly I remember being OK with the apple.
Now of course is another story-can hardly pass by the isle with the chocolate in the grocery store!
Great post!

Given the responses here, I think we have more apples than Twinkies. Wow. I wasn't alone. All this time I was thinking I was the only one. I wish you all were sitting at my table.
Susan, I too love the Hostess Pies. Appley goo or blueberry goo. What do you think? Is there really any fruit hiding in there? As far as the regressing thing, I am so with you on that.
Jasia, you seemed to have the best of both worlds. Fruit and a home-baked treat! You are right though, life was simpler back then...
I really shouldn't complain. My first year in school we had to walk home for lunch. In the winter I had to walk a mile in the snow, up hill, both ways. But that's another post...
Thank you all for your nice comments.

Today's question comes to us courtesy of master commenter JayP71. And that's all he had to say. We know there are better answers out there, but we'll play it safe and go with an old favorite. A few years back, the neighbors across the street had their house on the market. I was upstairs when I heard a burble. I peaked out my window and parked in their driveway was a bright red E39 M5. My jaw dropped. Just a thing of monstrous beauty. Especially because painted Clinique red the über-sleeper really looked like just another luxury-first BMW. But if you knew what to look for – those tailpipes and fatty meats – the big red car was simply mesmerizing. I quickly ran down and talked the guy's ear off until he let me take it for a spin. And no, he didn't like the house. You?

Dorothy Love returns with her second Hickory Ridge novel, Beauty for Ashes, available now from Thomas Nelson.
She's a beautiful young widow. He's a charming Charlestonian with a taste for adventure. Both need a place to call home.
For Carrie Daly, life seems to consist mostly of mourning and ashes. Widowed when her young husband died at the battle of Shiloh, Carrie has spent the intervening years living quietly on her family's farm with Henry, her older brother. But then Henry marries Mary Stanhope, a difficult widow with two rowdy sons in tow. Feeling that there is no longer a place for her on the farm, Carrie moves to the genteel but shabby Verandah Ladies Hotel and takes a job at Nate Chastain's book shop, intending to make a new life for herself.
But a chance meeting with Griff Rutledge, a newcomer to Hickory Ridge, changes everything.
It will take a leap of faith on both their parts to redeem the hurts of the past and claim God's promise of beauty for ashes.
Enjoy meeting Griff and Carrie!
Brief physical description
Carrie: Coppery hair, blue eyes, small and shapely
Griff: Tall, dark, handsome, with a thin white scar above his upper lip
Actor/famous person
Griff reminds me of a young Gregory Peck only with a Southern accent. In the 1950's there was a beautiful actress named Rhonda Fleming who has Carrie's coloring. I don't pay attention to modern day celebrities, so I have no clue which modern day celebs Carrie and Griff might resemble.
Carrie's strengths are her faith, her resourcefulness and her independence of mind. Her weaknesses are impatience and sometimes, stubbornness.
Griff's strengths are his sense of humor, his self confidence, and his compassion for others. His weaknesses are that he is slow to forgive, and sometimes too quick to judge the motives of others.
Your inspiration for the character
Carrie is a composite of the thousands of real-life Southern women who were forced to carry on alone after the losses of the Civil War. I admire their bravery, their resourcefulness, and the great faith it must have taken to keep going. When I created Carrie for the first Hickory Ridge book, I intended for her to remain a secondary character—one of Ada's friends in the church quilting circle. But the more I wrote about Carrie, the more I wanted her to cast off her mourning and find love and joy again. The lesson of her life is that God is able to give us back our joy, to make beauty from the ashes of our sorrows and failed dreams.
This is the thread running through Griff's life as well. Feeling like the "black sheep" of his family, he has spent years travelling from one place to the next, claiming to love his footloose and adventurous life while all the time longing for roots and a home. It takes meeting Carrie and her patchwork family to show him what he has been missing.
Background to the story
Widowed when her young husband Frank Daly was killed at Shiloh, Carrie has spent her life keeping house for her bachelor brother, helping him run their family farm. When the story opens in 1876, she has long since given up on finding the kind of heart-stopping love she knew all too briefly with Frank. For some time Carrie has had an understanding with Nate Chastain, the local bookshop owner. But unwilling to settle for what is attainable, she has put off accepting his proposal. Then Charlestonian Griff Rutledge arrives in Hickory Ridge...and Carrie is instantly smitten.
The series wraps up late this fall with publication of EVERY PERFECT GIFT where readers will catch glimpses of Carrie and Griff and their life in Hickory Ridge.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale men's swimming and diving team has one goal for the 2011-2012 season: restore its position at the top of the Ivy League standings with perennial powers Harvard and Princeton. The Bulldogs begin that quest Saturday in New York City against the team that bumped them from a place in the top three at last year's Ivy League Championships – third-place finisher Columbia.
And while the loss of seniors like captain Kyle Veatch '11 and distance great Matt Lee '11 will undoubtedly leave voids, this year's young Bulldog squad is propelled by youthful energy: 17 of 23 swimmers on the roster or sophomores or freshmen, and of those, 11 are newcomers. The nine freshmen on the Yale roster may just be one of the fastest recruiting classes in recent memory, a testament to the work done by Robert J.H. Kiphuth Director of Swimming and Diving Tim Wise, who took the helm of the Bulldog program before last season after 12 seasons as an assistant under previous coach Frank Keefe.
Those freshmen will be thrown into the fire of Ivy League competition right away by against a Columbia team that also suffered losses to graduation, including sprinter extraordinaire Adam Powell, who was, at one point last year, ranked 15th in the nation in the 50 free. The Lions also lost Hyun Lee, last year's Ivy League Champion in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle.
Yale's three returning divers, sophomore Tyler Pramer and junior Aaron Seriff-Cullick and Colton Staab, join newcomer sophomore Cole Florey in trying to bolster the Bulldogs from the board this year.
Saturday's meet will be captain Christopher Luu's first as Bulldog captain, and he will undoubtedly rely on his five fellow upperclassmen, including 2011 All-Ivy honorees junior Mike Dominski and senior Goksu Bicer, to show an inexperienced team the way. But ultimately, as will be the case all season, Yale will go as its underclassmen do; if early indications prove accurate, that means the Bulldogs will swim just one way this season: fast.

Cemetery's Jewish-only tradition at heart of Colchester synagogue case
Maria Balaban, a stalwart supporter of her Colchester synagogue, is taking a stand — one that has resulted in her being shunned by fellow synagogue members, according to her attorney.
The 73-year-old Orthodox Jew has sued Congregation Ahavath Achim for allowing the burial of a non-Jewish woman in 2010 in the synagogue's cemetery on Gillette Lane.
The trial got under way Wednesday in New London Superior Court.
The deceased woman, Juliet Steer, was African-American, but Balaban and her attorney, Martin M. Rutchick, strenuously deny accusations of racism. Rutchick said some synagogue members have been harsh with his client, a retired social worker who is proud of her work with blacks and other minorities.
"They don't even want her there," Rutchick said. "And this was her life."
Rutchick attempted to bring a claim of emotional distress against the congregation on behalf of his client, but Judge Robert A. Martin, who will be rendering a verdict in the case, dismissed that claim before the trial began.
Watching the proceedings Wednesday was Paul Steer. His sister died of cancer in 2010 after selecting the Gillette Lane Cemetery as her final resting place.
During a break, Steer asked Rutchick if he has "anything to worry about" with respect to an earlier demand that Steer's body be exhumed. Rutchick told him he had nothing to worry about. Rutchick said his client felt the Steer family had suffered enough and was just seeking to have the synagogue follow its own rules.
Testimony focused Wednesday on contractual issues involving a merger that took place in 1999 between the Jewish Aid Society and Ahavath Achim and the various cemeteries under the consolidated congregation's control.
Balaban has claimed the merger agreement called for the creation of an interfaith cemetery that would allow for the burial of non-Jewish spouses, significant others and family members of synagogue members in a certain section of the cemetery.
Arthur Liverant, a member of the synagogue's Board of Directors and chairman of the Cemetery Subcommittee, testified Wednesday. He and other synagogue officials contend the bylaws allow the burial of non-Jews in all but one section, rows A to H, of the Gillette Lane Cemetery. During the merger, that section was set aside for members of the Jewish Aid Society.
His client is a modern woman, Rutchick said, but there are some traditions that demand adherence. He said the Jewish people of Colchester had come to the United States from countries where they were cast aside and not allowed to live among other Jews. They have believed for generations that Jews should be buried with other Jews, he said.
"This is what has kept Jews strong, because of their being together and staying strong that way," he said.
While the trial was to stay focused on the contract, Liverant, the first witness, raised the possibility during his testimony that Steer was, in fact, a Jew.
"Juliet Steer told me in our one telephone conversation that her father had told her that her mother was Jewish and he chose never to discuss it again," Liverant said.
Though his testimony was considered hearsay, Martin allowed it after George Purtill, the synagogue's attorney, cited an exception to the hearsay rule called the "dead man statute."
In the hallway later, Paul Steer said his family was Christian, not Jewish.
The next witness was Balaban's son, attorney Mark Balaban, a former member of Ahavath Achim who drafted the merger agreement in 1999 on behalf of the synagogue. As Rutchick posed his questions to Mark Balaban, Judge Martin sustained continued objections by the synagogue's attorney, George Purtill, who claimed that Mark Balaban would be breaching the attorney-client privilege by answering the questions.
Mark Balaban, who, like his parents, owns plots in the Gillette Lane Cemetery, also known as the Jewish Aid Cemetery, was allowed to say whether he still would want to be buried in the cemetery if he learned a non-Jew was allowed to be buried there.
"It depends on whether there was a fence that would demark a separation between the original Gillette Lane Cemetery and the other confines of the cemetery," he answered.
His family has a three-generation history of burials there, including both sets of grandparents and several others, Mark Balaban said.
The trial resumes today.

The only card that is semi-working at the moment with the new ZL10353 frontend is the DViCO Hybrid board. Some Plus boards with the new frontend have turned up on the market, however I don't (as yet) know how to program the PLL when it is hooked on the other side of the ZL10353 IC. I am currently making progress on obtaining the appropriate specifications for the ZL10353, which will let us determine just how different the chip is (and whether it should remain a standalone frontend module or merge with the MT352) and also permit us to get full status information back from the chip. Until such a time as I get the new specifications, only the Hybrid board is semi-supported - however if someone in Brisbane has one of the new Plus boards, I should be able to get it going (without status information) as well.

Buccaneers Boarding. Can't say we didn't warn you–Charleston Southern is in the mix. If you read the last check on the Big South in this space, we told you the schedule was set up very well for the Bucs to make a mini-run into the top group. CSU closed the deal with home victories over High Point and Radford to reach 5-3 in conference play and set up a big-time match-up (again in Charleston) with leader Coastal Carolina on Saturday to possibly narrow the gap even further.
"Bieden" Down the Competition. Congrats to UNC Asheville's Eddie Biedenbach, who now holds the all-time record for most regular season Big South wins (110, passing former Radford Coach Ron Bradley's mark of 109). With 187 wins overall at Asheville, Biedenbach is also within reach of becoming the Big South's all-time winningest coach, a distinction currently held by former Winthrop Coach Gregg Marshall (194 wins).
A Look Back:
The race for the lead both expanded (in number of teams) and contracted (in game separation) over the last couple of weeks. Coastal Carolina still holds the top spot, despite a home loss to Radford that ended the Chanticleers' big win streak at 12. The Highlanders lurk one game behind, even after falling to CSU, and Radford's not going anywhere–as evidenced by Thursday's 22-point sprint past VMI. But then you have the traffic jam at 5-3 (CSU, HPU) and 4-4 (UNCA, WU, LU). That's five teams with a total separation of one game, so this competition remains wide open with regards to contenders and tournament seeds.
A Look Ahead:
We're at the turn: the midpoint of conference play. The big game ahead in the short run is certainly the CCU at CSU contest Saturday, but it is far from the only game that will have an impact. Radford hosts Liberty Saturday evening (televised on MASN), and then the Highlanders hit the road for a while. Fortunately for RU, the squad has been tough away from home–particularly in Big South games–but they need to prevent the travel from wearing on them. Handicapping the race now, we certainly feel Coastal Carolina and Radford will remain in a battle for the top, and also believe that High Point and Charleston Southern are legitimate teams in the fight. Don't forget that, in the Big South, the top four teams at the end of the regular season all get to host first round games in the conference tournament. While the top four now could well be the top four then, it's just as likely there will be more movement. If you're looking for a candidate from the 4-4 group to break through, it seems more probable that UNC Asheville will emerge, rather than Winthrop or Liberty. The Bulldogs did lose four conference games in a row at one point, but look closer: after falling by eight at Radford, they lost by four at High Point, by one to Coastal, and by three in overtime to CSU…close games against the upper teams. Since then, they've had victories at VMI (by 13), at Liberty (4), and against Winthrop (13)–which includes wins over the peer group of hopeful contenders.
Team Breakdowns:
Charleston Southern — Last time in this space we called CSU a "pivot team." Well, they've made the turn now into a legit contender. Give a healthy dose of credit to freshman guard Jeremy Sexton, who has become a difference-maker for the Buccaneers and a player to watch.
Coastal Carolina — Nothing lasts forever, so the Chanticleers found out with the end of a remarkable 12-game winning streak. Nonetheless, this is a team that is growing more playmakers. All eyes were on Joseph Harris coming into the year, but he was quickly joined by Chad Gray in another starring role, and now Mario Edwards is also grabbing his share of headlines. CCU should not be slowed down much by the Radford loss…and by the way, the rematch will be at RU on 2/13.
Gardner-Webb — A struggling team, but one happy to eke out a come-from-behind home victory in overtime over fellow struggler PC. GWU likely has more wins coming in the second half of the season, but not enough to change their position much, if at all.
High Point — The battle royale last week with CCU-RU-HPU-CSU produced splits for Radford and Coastal, a big pair of wins for CSU–and two painful losses for High Point. The Panthers had to take one step back from the fight for the lead, but can jump right back in with another surge like that with which they began 2010–a run that culminated in a win over Radford. Like Coastal, HPU has seen most of its success thanks to a trio of playmakers: Nick Barbour, Cruz Daniels, and Eugene Harris.
Liberty — Strong program, seeking identity: please submit answers to Lynchburg, VA. Not a lot of rhythm to the Flames' season. Not unless you like the seasick up-down-up-down pattern on which they've been. Good news comes with bad; for example: Kyle Ohman reaches the 1,000-point career mark, then requires surgery that takes him out of play for a while. That's LU this year in a nutshell.
Presbyterian — The Blue Hose can put up a fight; they've gone to overtime in three Big South games (losing two of them), but they can't seem to break through. Again, some of their best players are redshirting right now, so next season can't get here fast enough for the Presbyterian College crowd.
Radford — "Big Art" Parakhouski continues to get the lion's share of attention–from the media, from opponents, from scouts. It's well-deserved, as the inside force is the Big South leader in scoring (23.1), rebounding (12.9), and field goal percentage (.622). He's not alone, though, as fellow big-men Lazar Trifunovic and Joey Lynch-Flohr also collect double-doubles for the Highlanders, and Amir Johnson has become RU's all-time leader in assists.
UNC Asheville — As cited above, Coach Eddie Biedenbach knows about winning games, and his current edition of Bulldogs seems to be learning more about it all the time. If they can keep themselves from falling into another slide, they could sneak into the top four seeds.
VMI — It's been another verse of the same song lately for the Keydets–they can dictate the style and speed of play to a degree, but they can't seem to come away with the win. It's nothing like the sensational start to last year, when VMI looked like it was ready to make national noise for a while…no, this year's crew is still seeking its second Big South victory.
Winthrop — Three straight Big South wins in early January helped the Eagles regain their footing, but this WU team still hasn't established itself as a threat to the upper teams this year. Team leader Mantoris Robinson may need to channel his best memories of Winthrop teams gone by to lift this group out of the middle of the pack.

MEDFORD, Mass. (taken from a Tufts press release) -- The Brandeis women's basketball team scored the first bucket of the game, but the rest of the contest was all Tufts as the 17th-ranked Jumbos took leads of 17-3, 29-4, and 34-6 in the first half on its way to an eventual 70-32 victory in the Jumbos' home opener at Cousens Gym on Sunday afternoon.
Brandeis was led by senior Angela Miller (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek) tallied a career-high seven points to pace the Judges (2-2). Co-captains Bre Dufault (Hampden, MA) and Kate Barnosky (Huntington Station, NY) both scored 15 points to lead Tufts, which improved to 4-0.
Brandeis shot just 22.7 percent (5-if-22) in the first half and the Jumbos were soon in command. After the Judges scored the first basket of the game by sophomore Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester), Tufts initiated a 17-1 run that gave them a 14-point lead (17-3) less than eight minutes into the game.
Miller had a free throw for Brandeis at 12:12, then Tufts scored the next 12 points to take a 25-point, 29-4 advantage on a layup by sophomore Hayley Kanner (Scarsdale, NY) with 6:07 on the clock. Their first-half lead got as high as 28 points, 34-6, on a three-point play by Dufault at 3:44.
Tufts led 34-12 at intermission. Dufault had nine points with five steals at the break, while Foley added seven points for Tufts. Miller and senior Courtney Ness (Norwich, Vt./Hanover, N.H.) each had three points for Brandeis at the break.
With little to be determined in the second half, Brandeis was as close as 23 points (38-15) on a three-pointer by Cain at the 18:34 mark. The Jumbo lead reached 30 after a three-pointer by Barnosky made it 46-15 with 15:35 remaining. The margin didn't dip below 30 and peaked at 38 on several occasions, including the final score.
Brandeis won the battle of the boards 32-26, with six rebounds by senior Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./Hoosac Valley) leading the way. Cain finished with five points and four rebounds, while Ness added two blocked shots. The Judges finished at 34.1 percent shooting (14-of-41).
The Judges return to action on Tuesday evening at 7:30 at home against Emmanuel College.

Jobless rate demolishes doves
In a big shock to dovish financial markets and economists, Australia's jobless rate declined to just 5.14 per cent in August from 5.22 per cent in July (and 5.27 per cent in June).
In a big shock to dovish financial markets and economists, Australia's jobless rate declined to just 5.14 per cent in August from 5.22 per cent in July (and 5.27 per cent in June).
This is the second major salvo of data this week that confirms that Australia's economy has been expanding at an above-trend pace.
Crucially, the ABS's labour market data covers two-thirds of the September quarter, which many analysts have confidently alleged will be weaker than the striking pace of growth observed during the first half of the year.
Similar arguments have been made by doomsayers after every tranche of positive GDP and labour market data for the last year or two.
The median Bloomberg economist forecast was for the jobless rate to rise to 5.3 per cent today.
There were three major houses – the notoriously dovish Westpac, and ANZ and Merrills – that felt it would jump to 5.4 per cent. The RBA itself has aired a 5.5 per cent jobless rate expectation for 2012.
Judged objectively, the RBA has been unduly pessimistic about Australia's economic prospects.
In May this year it projected that GDP growth over the year to June would be just 2.75 per cent, only to have the actual data trump it by more than a third.
Bond traders have been gloomier again. They bid up 3 year government bond futures prices sharply immediately before today's ABS release in the hope of seeing bad numbers.
Australian traders have consistently got global sentiment right, but they have been just as relentlessly wrong on the domestic economy.
Since the data was published, traders have pared back the probabilities of near-term rate cuts. Bond prices have fallen substantially too.
UBS's Matt Johnson comments: "It is hard to see the RBA cutting rates when the jobless rate is falling. The low employment-to-population ratio may be a concern, especially if it reflects a temporary reduction in the participation rate due to redundancies."
However, Mr Johnson acknowledges that this may be partly explained by the ageing of the population, which is an alternative that I put to him.
When thinking about the ABS's jobless numbers it is essential to focus on the much less volatile unemployment "rate".
While the total number of jobs in August reportedly fell by nearly 9000, these absolute employment figures are mostly meaningless on a month-to-month basis.
When forecasting inflation, and setting monetary policy, the RBA uses the unemployment rate, which is empirically proven to be a much more powerful explanatory variable.
Wednesday's GDP data told us that Australia's economy had expanded at a way above-trend 4 per cent pace over the first half of the year, and an equally above-trend 3.7 per cent rate over the 12 months to June.
Notwithstanding the encouraging news on the growth front, some commentators have been hasty to call rate cuts in October and November.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's former adviser, Stephen Koukoulas, told Bloomberg that he believes that the RBA "will probably cut in October, and a few more times after that".
David Bassanese, writing in The Australian Financial Review today, argues that it is "quite likely that official interest rates will be cut within the next two months".
It is possible that participants have misunderstood RBA communications.
When financial markets responded to the RBA's board statement on Tuesday by bidding up the dollar, the central bank quickly undertook counter-measures to avoid any further currency inflation.
A statement that was universally regarded as being more "optimistic" than traders had anticipated was subsequently "spun" by journalists the next day as presaging imminent cuts.
Reading between the lines, I suspect the RBA worked out there was no upside to sounding hawkish. And its jawboning has been effective.
The Aussie dollar is well down from its 106 US cent high in early August, with current pricing putting it a touch above 102 US cents.
It has jumped nearly half a cent following the release of the ABS's stunning jobs numbers.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Oct. 22, 2007) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced that Darwin K. Waits, 31, of Phoenix, has been sentenced to 60 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to one count of attempted escape, a felony charge. Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Edward W. Bassett also sentenced Waits to two years probation.
In October 2006, Waits was found in contempt of court for failing to pay $5,000 in child support and was sent to the Maricopa County Jail. Waits was on work furlough and did not report back to the jail after work.
Waits is still responsible for paying the $5,000 to purge the contempt citation. In addition, he owes approximately $30,000 more in back child support. Waits' conviction was a result of ongoing efforts by the Attorney General's Office and the Special Investigations Office at the Department of Economic Security to investigate and prosecute individuals who refuse to honor their child support obligations.
Assistant Attorney General L. Louise Salminen handled this case.

Stretched and bound over wooden frames, the animal pelts of Australian artist Ruth Marshall are so utterly realistic looking that it is difficult to believe that they are not in fact fur and hide. Constructed out of knitted yarn, they compel us to consider the endangered species killed and skinned by poachers and collectors. Though illegal, the devastating skin trade has taken the lives of thousands of tigers in the past thirteen years, leaving only an estimated 3,200 tigers in the wild. Before poaching practices, deforestation, and other damaging factors contributed by humans, there were approximately 100,000 of this magnificent creatures around the globe.
Marshall learned of the plight of wild cat species while working at the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society, an experience that moved her deeply. With her Big Cat Series, she hopes to provide a sustainable and humane alternative to tiger, leopard, and jaguar pelts. The nuances of each life-sized work is touchingly based on a real animal, whom the artist became acquainted in captive conditions. A few are modeled after skins owned by collectors. The project effortlessly illustrates the value of artisan work, which ultimately could hold higher commercial value than black market pelts.
Here, Marshall transforms a cruel practice into a labor of love. Where animal pelts have come to represent a cruel and grotesque opulence and greed, she introduces knitting, a craft associated with nurturing and care. As a result, her pieces are both disarming and lovely,a refreshing jolt of sustainability and activism. To learn how you can help save the tigers and other animals, please visit World Wildlife Fund and the Wildlife Conservation Society. (via Dark Silence in Suburbia)

Westboro Baptist Church Gets Asked Some Tough Questions [VIDEO]
We have not really seen Westboro Baptist Church gets stumped with a difficult question. Normally, they spend their time yelling, "God hates America," too loud for the questions to be heard. This young man grabs their attention and asks them hilarious questions that send them into a flurry of um's and confusion.
There a rare and few victories made over the plague of hate that is Westboro Baptist Church and their offensive protests. Though many have tried, one man has undeniably and finally silenced these "thank God for dead soldiers" believers.
Watch as in the funniest way, this man sends questions at these protesters that they simply can't answer.
It is nice to see these hateful people squirm under the pressure of these hilarious questions.

Twenty eight-year-old Pooja Sharma was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) -- a debilitating autoimmune disease, which causes inflammation and swelling in the joints and surrounding tissues, mostly in the wrist, knees, fingers, feet, and ankles. RA affects millions of people around the globe and is often seen affecting young people. Joint replacement surgeon Dr Nirad Vengsarkar says that arthritis, the most common forms of which are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, age-related degeneration or simply wear and tear of the joints, affects many people. "Women in their 30s especially are being diagnosed with arthritis. Of the joints affected by arthritis, the knees and fingers get affected early. Primary reasons of arthritis include genetic predisposition, obesity, inactivity, previous trauma leading to joint damage or ligament injuries, bow legs or knock knees -- childhood disorders that lead to bone malalignment causing joint degeneration," says Dr Vengsarkar.
Consultant orthopedic surgeon Dr Vijay D Shetty adds that a whopping 50% of the population have arthritis in one or more of their joints. "Rheumatoid arthritis is, perhaps, the commonest form of arthritis affecting young people. The exact cause is unknown. It starts as an inflammation of the lining of the joint, which slowly becomes uncontrollable, resulting in joint destruction. The common feature of all forms of arthritis is a loss of smoothness of joint surfaces so that low-friction movement is replaced by irregular, gritty, high-friction agony. The joint changes, in turn, can cause changes to the muscles and ligaments surrounding the joint. Therefore, patients can also feel pain in other areas such as the back or even the ankle," says Dr Shetty.
- Pain and stiffness are early symptoms. They usually start in the morning and last for about five to 10 minutes and decrease as the day progresses.
- Start-up pain -- pain after inactivity that goes away on movement are early signs
- Mild swelling
According to Dr Shetty, arthritis sufferers could opt for a range of treatments, including physiotherapy, aromatherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, reflexology, acupuncture and a change in diet. "Treatment can be medical or surgical. Medical treatment involves prescription of drugs and other non-invasive therapies. Surgical solution can take many forms, starting from a less invasive joint injection to a more invasive, total joint replacement. There are several forms of joint injections, called viscosupplementation, available these days. These injections are meant to lubricate the joints, specially in young people with arthritis and can delay the progression of arthritis and thereby, delay surgical requirement. It is better, and often safer, to avoid surgery in the young. While surgery is not a pleasant prospect for people with debilitating arthritis, it could mean a major difference between leading a normal life and putting up with a debilitating condition. Joint replacement is widely performed these days in young patients and results are far superior to other surgical options. However, the artificial joint has its own life of approximately 15 to 20 years and, a revision surgery may eventually be needed," he says.
Affecting the young
Arthritis is a major cause for concern, particularly so when it affects young, earning members of a family. "It can occur in people when they are in their best years. This not only affects them, but their family, friends and work colleagues as well. Quality of life plummets, income can fall and treatment is regularly needed," says Dr Vijay D Shetty.
Follow this
- Have a diet rich in calcium, protein, vitamin D and vitamin C. Calcium does not prevent arthritis, it allows the bone beneath the degenerated surface to resist deforming forces.
- Keep yourself fit. Engage in some sort of physical activity at least three to four times a week. This will keep your weight in check and also strengthen your muscles, which in turn helps slowing down arthritis progression.
- Swimming, cycling, elliptica and half squats in the gym are useful. Avoid running on hard surfaces.
- Active people who are into heavy weights and contact sports can develop arthritis early due to the large forces that their joints are subjected to. Once it sets in, activities like squatting, kneeling and sitting cross-legged on the floor should be avoided.
