Blues Improve to 13-6 Win Over Bravehearts
By: Chris Saunders
Bristol looked like a team that couldn't be stopped against the Martha's Vineyard Sharks Monday night at historic Muzzy Field.
When you score 10+ runs against a team like the Sharks who came into that night 12-2, well, they've been doing something right.
However, the Sharks messed with the wrong team that night, as Bristol brought their hitting shoes and man handled the Sharks to improve to a 12-6 record.
Bristol looked to continue their winning ways against the Braveheart's, whom they are 3-1 against in four total matchups.
You can now make it 4-1 against the Braveheart's as Bristol improves their record to 13-6 overall after a 4-2 victory, which is good for second place in the FCBL standings.
Bristol started the young pup Emmet Sheehan, who is 3-4 years younger than his competition, but man let me tell you something ladies and gentleman. If he's intimated by the competition then he as some poker face.
Sheehan pitched exceptionally well in his first start as a Blue going 5.1 innings pitched, 5 hits allowed, 2 walks to go along with 5 strikeouts. What made Sheehan so effective tonight was the use of that breaking ball.
Sheehan for a young pitcher has at times shown an uncanny ability to throw his power breaking ball for a chase pitch, while also taking a little off and making it more of a get me over pitch for strikes. For a young pitcher to already have the mindset to add-subtract from his breaking ball bolds well for the Boston College commit.
As the hitting side faired against the Braveheart's was relatively quiet until the 4th inning when Bristol managed to get a two straight walks with two outs (Bonvicini-Peyton) before the red-hot Ethan Hunt hit a single that scored Bonvicini to put the Blues at a 1-0 lead. That Rbi was Hunts 7th of the season.
The Braveheart's would go scoreless in the bottom half of the innings, which brought back the red-hot Blues bats into the batter's box in the top of the 5th.
This inning though, started off with two straight singles (Bryce Ramsay-Andrew Hague) and with one down Bristol got that crucial single by Ryan Lutz to drive in Ramsay to give the Blues a 2-0 lead. Bristol added on by you guess it another single!
This time it was Matthew Bonvicini whom wanted to get into the singles party and drove in Hague to increase the lead 3-0. A throwing error by the third baseman for the Bravehearts allowed Lutz to score and Bristol took a commanding 4-0 lead.
Worcester would score a run in the 5th and 8th to make the game 4-2, but when the game is close entering the later stages of a game you know what time it is.
Neal Mcdermott came on to close the game and in Mcdermott fashion even with a HBP included didn't make the Blues fans sweat as he made tonight's game save number 7!
Bristol heads up to Pittsfield as they face off against the 7-11 Suns.

The daisies are scattered in the fields, their yellow faces laughing with the end of summer. They dance in the breeze. They shine in the sun. They dare me to play that old, familiar game–"He loves me, He loves me not."
I remember this game. As a child, I would sit on a rock in the garden, plucking the petals one by one, trying to tease out some future romantic fiction. It is a little girl's dream. To be lovely. To be loved.
And one day, I did know love. Love from the Father, pure and true. Love for me, the unlovely. Love from the Son framed on crude bars of mercy. Love that held Him there. Love from the Spirit, who works His will in me, keeping me close to His heart.
Don't stop now!! Please keep reading He Loves Me over at (in)courage today.

Our roadtrip last week to Williamsport, PA was a quick one. When M. has 2 days off of work in a row, we like to take advantage of his employee hotel discount and see a new place. We chose to head Northwest this time, and explore a city along the Susquehanna River.
We don't really budget for our trips beforehand, but we always want to keep our spending at a minimum. We chose from a handful of affordable hotels, and we picked the cheapest one. Here's our roadtrip budget breakdown for Williamsport:
- Hotel: $76 ($35 per night, plus taxes)
- Gas: $78
- Entertainment: $15.50
- Food: $60
Trip Total: $229.50
Overall, I don't think this is too bad for a family of 3. We still have a half tank of gas left over. Our hotel offered a continental breakfast, which we took advantage of. We had dinner in a restaurant once, and since our hotel room was equipped with a kitchenette, we brought a cooler of snacks and drinks with us.
The $15.50 for entertainment was for the Hiawatha Paddle Wheel Riverboat cruise that we took. The ticket prices were really cheap, and I also found a coupon in one of those free tourist guides that gave us an additional $3 discount. We bought some snacks and drinks on there, as well.
Personally, I just love walking around a town or city and exploring it on foot. Not only is it free, but you also get to see different local spots that you otherwise wouldn't on a guided tour.
This was a really fun quick trip. On the 4th, we got up and checked out of the hotel and drove about 20 minutes to a nearby town. Williamsport did not have a parade happening, and our daughter really wanted to see one, so I looked up online where we could find one in the area.
We got to enjoy a good old-fashioned small town America Fourth of July parade, and I don't think that there is a more perfect way to spend the holiday! It lasted at least an hour, and our daughter got a bag full of candies and other goodies. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.
This is probably our last roadtrip for a while, because we really need to focus on saving up before we leave for Europe. Less than $300 for 3 people, for 3 days on the road, isn't too bad, though!
What do you think of our roadtrip spending? Do you usually spend a lot on food and entertainment?

I have a friend (I think he's a friend) who loves to remind me that people are watching me. Frankly, it bugs me. It's enough for me to know that God is watching me. I live for Him, not others and if others don't like my actions but they make Him smile that should be enough for any of us, right? But, yes, others do watch. I got going yesterday at 4:15. A busy and good day. Made some early morning hospital visits, wrote an editorial for Hope & Expectation, returned a few calls, prayed with a member who had lost a loved one, had lunch with a small group of preacher friends who I love being with, ran/walked 5.5 miles, read a while, then that evening made four good visits. It was a very good day. I finally got home at about 8:30 and was ready to just spend a few minutes catching up with Mel and mail.
As she was "catching me up" on her day a couple of emergency vehicles came down Port Royal Road - not the road we live on but one we can see from our front windows. They slowed and then turned into our neighborhood. Now, for many of you outside of Spring Hill you will find this hard to believe, but if you live here you'll know. We are the second oldest family living in our subdivision. The family across the way get first prize. The ambulance and fire truck stopped in front of their house. Melanie went outside and watched. It was a comfortable night and I joined her but after a few minutes I felt, even though it's a couple of hundred yards across to their house, we were staring. I said, "We need to go back inside 'Gladys Kravitz.'"
We did but after a few minutes she said, "We need to go check on them." I didn't want to snoop, or to embarrass them or invade on their privacy...but really, I was just tired and wanted to relax. But she was going and so I followed. We got there as the man of the house was getting into his car. We'd met his wife and his daughter (who we thought was his sister-in-law) several times but not him. We told him we just wanted to see if we could do anything to help. They have a couple of dogs and thought they may need someone to check on them if they were gone for long. He explained that his daughter (who has a intellectual disability) was very weak but it looked like everything was going to be OK. We told him we lived across the way and Mel said we'd be for them. He looked at me and said: "You're that preacher man aren't you?" It wasn't a slam it was sweet the way the older guy said it with a hint of appreciation.
But it reminded me - not only is God watching but people are too - so be His person all the time - even when you are tired, even when interacting with neighbors who you don't even know, know you.
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16 ESV).
"People who do not believe are living all around you and might say that you are doing wrong. Live such good lives that they will see the good things you do and will give glory to God on the day when Christ comes again" (1 Peter 2:12 NCV).

There were a number of eminent Australian women scientists during those years but even now few are well known to other than their peers. I have already investigated more than ten who have left their mark in a diversity of fields and have made significant contributions not only to scientific knowledge, but also to its practical application in human welfare and economic development, in Australia and beyond. It is astonishing to discover, for example, that it was a woman scientist at CSIRO, Dr Helen Newton Turner, who from the fifties to the late seventies was leader of the research team working on selective sheep breeding which led to vital improvement in the merino fleece; their findings contributed greatly to Australia's pre-eminence in the wool industry in the sixties and seventies. She did not, however, confine her interest to Australia and has also helped developing countries establish methods of controlled sheep breeding and animal production. Another example is Dr Gretna Weste, whose work in the sixties and seventies on plant disease causing dieback in forests has led to important savings in the forestry industry.
If eminence is measured by public honours then several of the scientists certainly merit that description. There is at least one Fellow of the Royal Society in this generation: Dr Ruth Sanger, a haematologist, whose textbook on blood groups was used all over the English speaking world for some twenty years and whose work has helped save the lives of countless children. Emeritus Professor Dorothy Hill, a geologist, was the first woman to be elected to membership of the Australian Academy of Science in 1956. Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering has been achieved by few women. Miss Margaret Dick, Chief Microbiologist of Kraft Foods, is one; she showed that, rare though it was, it was possible for a woman scientist to reach a high position in other than academic or government funded research organisations.
All the scientists so far interviewed are nationally and internationally acknowledged by their peers. For example, Professor Ruth Gall made her mark in chemistry by establishing the fundamental chemical nature of steroids. Miss Isobel Bennett is recognised as one of Australia's foremost marine scientists. Her work, starting in the fifties, richly illuminated the little known creatures of the intertidal zone; her perception is holistic and she drew attention from the beginning to that complex and fragile interconnection of living forms which is the urgent concern of environmentalists today. Younger members of the group have also made major contributions in senior university posts and on high level government advisory committees in Australia and developing countries. An example here is Professor Nancy Millis, the industrial microbiologist, who is now Chancellor of La Trobe University.
The aims of the study are threefold:

Director of Graduate Studies (DGS). The Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) is a member of the MICaB graduate faculty who serves as the administrative supervisor and coordinator of graduate studies in the MICaB program. The DGS is responsible for guiding and improving graduate education within the MICaB program and serves as the liaison among the MICaB graduate student body, the MICaB graduate faculty, and the Graduate School administration. The DGS serves as the MICaB representative on the Graduate School Biological Sciences Policy and Review (P&R) Council. The DGS is responsible for all aspects of the program, including student-related issues (student recruitment and admission, student progress, nominations for awards, grievances, etc.), faculty-related issues (appointment to the graduate faculty, review of graduate faculty, etc.), and curriculum-related issues (program changes, course changes, program reviews, etc.). The Graduate School maintains a website for Directors of Graduate Studies at http://www.grad.umn.edu/DGS/. The DGS serves as the chair of the Committee on Graduate Studies.
Committee on Graduate Studies. The general policies of the MICaB program are established by the faculty. The Committee on Graduate Studies (CGS) administers these policies, evaluates applications, interviews prospective graduate students, and facilitates the selection process. The CGS serves both faculty and graduate students in the maintenance of academic standards, without impinging on the advisor/advisee relationship, through periodic reviews of the progress of all graduate students; assignment of examining committees; and the evaluation of graduate examinations.
The CGS consists of nine MICaB faculty [including the Director of Graduate Studies, (DGS)], three representing each track (Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology), as well as the two MICaB student representatives. As recommended by the Graduate School, participation of the student representatives in CGS meetings is confined to matters of general administrative and educational policy and does not extend to matters that relate to the progress of individual graduate students or to the applications of individual prospective graduate students.
CGS members serve three-year terms. One member from each track is rotated off in July. The outgoing CGS member seeks nominations for CGS candidates from faculty within the CGS member's track. Nominated candidates are asked if they are willing to serve. If more than one faculty member is nominated and is willing to serve, then an election is held within that track to select the new CGS member.
One of the three CGS members within each track serves as the track representative on the CGS. This individual advises the DGS on discipline-specific issues.
The CGS meets on a regular basis throughout the year and is chaired by the DGS.
Faculty Admissions Committee. The Faculty Admissions Committee evaluates applications from faculty members who have applied to become graduate faculty in the MICaB program. The committee consists of 6 MICaB faculty members (two from each track) and 3 MICaB students (one from each track). The MICaB faculty committee members are selected by the CGS and the MICaB student committee members are selected by the MICaB students.
The committee votes on each faculty applicant and the chair of the committee informs the DGS of the committee's decision. The DGS then notifies the faculty applicant of the outcome.
Student Travel Award Committee. The Student Travel Award Committee evaluates applications from students for MICaB Travel Awards to support attendance at national and international research conferences. The committee consists of three MICaB faculty members (one from each track) who are selected by the CGS.
Career Development Committee. The mission of the MICaB Career Development Committee is to promote education, opportunity, inclusion and excellence surrounding the exploration of available career paths. Key elements include promoting open and candid discussions of career path options, providing a realistic modern-day rationale for choosing a given path that considers both the professional and personal needs of each student, and providing mentorship, resources, and guidance that will equip MICaB students with the best tools and mechanisms to success within a given career path choice.
The MICaB Career Development Committee coordinates career development activities within the MICaB program. The committee consists of 3 MICaB faculty members (one from each track), two MICaB students and one Postdoctoral Associate. The MICaB faculty members are selected by the CGS. The MICaB students and Postdoctoral Associate serving on the committee are selected by the chair of the Career Development Committee.
Student Representatives. Two 4th year MICaB students in good standing in the program serve as student representatives on the CGS. Student representatives are nominated and elected by MICaB students and serve for one year. In addition to serving on the CGS, MICaB student representatives coordinate the MICaB Student Seminar series, organize monthly student meetings and social activities, and coordinate recruitment activities during recruiting weekends.
MICaB Faculty Appointments. Faculty in the MICaB program are reappointed every three years provided they have carried out their responsibilities in a satisfactory manner, as determined by an evaluation carried out by the CGS. This evaluation occurs during the last semester in the third year of the DGS's term. Faculty admitted within the past 3 years do NOT have to apply for reappointment as they are automatically reappointed.
To be reappointed, faculty must show that they have an active research program as demonstrated by the publication of a primary authorship (first or last author) OR a collaborative (co-author) paper in a peer-reviewed journal in the three year period preceding the evaluation; AND they must have had a Ph.D. or Master's Degree student receive a degree under their tutelage within the 5 year period preceding the evaluation, OR be in the process of training a Ph.D. or Master's degree student at the time of the evaluation, OR be able to demonstrate significant involvement in the MICaB program by teaching or serving on committees.
New MICaB faculty members are reviewed by the MICaB Faculty Admissions Committee. Faculty interested in joining the MICaB program are considered for appointment to the program only during the academic year. At the outset, each applicant is required to identify an advocate from the current MICaB faculty in his/her track of interest. Applicants are required to submit a C.V. or NIH-style biosketch, a statement of graduate education philosophy, along with a nomination letter from the MICaB faculty advocate. This information is distributed to the entire MICaB faculty by the MICaB Program Coordinator. The applicant presents a seminar in either the MICaB Invited Speaker Seminar Series or the MICaB Student Seminar Series. Following the seminar, the MICaB Faculty Admissions Committee Chair will convene a meeting to solicit discussion of the applicant and to conduct a vote on admission to the program. For admission to the MICaB Graduate Faculty, a minimum of 2/3 of the ballots cast must be in favor of admission. The committee informs the DGS of the committee's decision and the DGS then notifies the faculty applicant of the outcome.
The faculty applicant must be of the highest quality to mentor and teach students and interact with other MICaB faculty colleagues. The committee considers the following issues when evaluating faculty applicants:
Responsibilities of MICaB Faculty. The general responsibilities of the MICaB graduate faculty include:
Specific responsibilities of MICaB faculty advisors of MICaB students include:

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 2486)
A Distributed Algorithm for Max Independent Set Problem Based on Hopfield Networks
A distributed algorithm to find a maximal independent set of an undirected graph is proposed. It is borrowed by a centralized one and it is based on a sequence of Hopfield neural networks. We refer to the synchronous model of distributed computation in which the topology is described by the graph. We give an upper bound on the number of messages sent during the entire process of computation.
To test the algorithm we experimentally compare it with a probabilistic heuristic derived by Ant Colony Optimization technique and with the standard greedy algorithm.

By Holly Hebert MLIS and Becky Walton, MLIS, Collection Development Librarians at Ingram Library Services
This year marks the seventh year of ALA's collaboration with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to bring Money Smart Week® to libraries across the United States. With participation from over 1,000 libraries, Money Smart Week has grown to be an annual tradition. Of course, libraries are not new to helping patrons build their financial literacy skills. Libraries fill many roles in their community including being dispensaries of tax forms, to providing investment information, providing start-up information for small businesses, retirement information, and for basic books on budgeting. Libraries carry it all, and they do it for all ages. Although it's less common now to find seasoned patrons pouring over copies of the latest Value Line, the use of computers and databases for help with personal finance remain a strong draw. These resources even include financial literacy games for kids! In this article, we'll highlight some must-have authors, titles, and series for youth and adults.
On the adult side, titles by financial gurus are always top circulators. Be sure to have enough copies of any works by popular authors like Dave Ramsey,
Rachel Cruze, Suze Orman, Rich Kiyosaki, Jen Sincero, David Bach, and Warren Buffett just to name a few.
Taxes. Nothing is certain except death and taxes, right? Yearly guides to doing taxes such as J.K. Lasser's Your Income Tax 2017, Ernst & Young Tax Guide, and How to Pay Zero Taxes are
perennial favorites. Standing order programs can help ensure that you always have the latest edition on hand.
It's never too early to plan for retirement and Nolo's For Dummies, and Idiot's guides series are always good bets for any subject. Estate Planning (Idiot's Guides) and Nolo's Social Security, Medicare and Government Pensions: Get the Most Out of Your Retirement and Medical Benefits are
just two examples. Other new titles for 2017 include Don't Retire Broke: An Indispensable Guide to Tax-Efficient Retirement Planning and Financial Freedom, Get the Most Out of Retirement: Checklist for Happiness, Health, Purpose, and Financial Security, How to Make Your Money Last: The Indispensable Retirement Guide, and Ageproof: Living Longer Without Running Out of Money or Breaking a Hip.
For basic budgeting Pogue's Basics: Money: Essential Tips and Shortcuts (That No One Bothers to Tell You) about Beating the System, and Quicken 2017 the Official Guide, and
Personal Finance for Dummies can help.
Investments are a large part of becoming financially stable in the long run. Investing for Dummies, Trading for Dummies, Mutual Funds for Dummies, The 100 Best Stocks to Buy in 2017, and The Barefoot Investor will
help patrons get on the path to investing wisely.
Now, more than ever, it's important to guard against scams and fraud. Titles that will complement any programming on this topic include Preventing Credit Card Fraud: A Complete Guide for Everyone from Merchants to Consumers, Nolo's Credit Repair: Make a Plan, and
Improve Your Credit, Avoid Scams.
For children and teens, librarians have a great selection of both standalone titles and series nonfiction. Some recent series for lower elementary readers
include Cloverleaf Books: Money Basics from Millbrook, selected by Booklist as a Top 10 Financial Series in October 2014, Your Money from
Windmill, Money Sense: An Introduction to Financial Literacy from Crabtree, and The Value of Money from Enslow. Two excellent standalones are Prices! Prices! Prices!: Why They Go Up and Down by David Adler (Holiday House, 2015), which explains supply and demand, and One Proud Penny by Randy Siegel (Roaring Brook Press, 2017), which
explores the history of our country's one-cent piece. Both of these titles were very well reviewed.
For upper elementary readers, two series to invest in are How Money Works from Norwood House which was well-reviewed by School Library Journal, and Money Smarts from Amicus which was positively reviewed by Booklist and School Library Journal.

There is an undeniable chemistry between these two musicians, and no wonder as they are mother and daughter.
Delyth Jenkins who plays the Celtic harp was a founding member of the pioneering instrumental trio Aberjaber and also has a successful career as a soloist.
Angharad Jenkins plays fiddle with the group Calan which burst onto the Welsh folk scene like a breath of fresh air. They have released four albums to date and have travelled to the four corners of the world.
After several invitations to perform together at festivals and arts centres across south Wales, Delyth and Angharad decided to form a duo, and from the start they have been affectionately known as DnA. Their first album Adnabod received excellent reviews. Their new album Llinyn Arian includes a mixture of some of Wales's finest and perhaps lesser known traditional tunes, as well as original compositions written and inspired by Delyth and Angharad's own personal journeys over the last few years. Their music is a winning fusion of the traditional and the innovative.

I have the following:
var sorted = from linkReportItem in linkReportItems
orderby linkReportItem.Category
group linkReportItem by linkReportItem.Category into categoryGroup
select new Grouping<string, LinkReportItem>( categoryGroup.Key, categoryGroup );
I then iterate through it, adding to this collection:
public ObservableCollection<Grouping<string, LinkReportItem>> LinkedReportItemGrouped { get; set; } =
new ObservableCollection<Grouping<string, LinkReportItem>>();
Here is the iteration:
foreach ( Grouping<string, LinkReportItem> item in sorted )
LinkedReportItemGrouped.Add( item );
This works fine in Android, but in iOS it crashes saying that "Index 9 is greater than the number of rows 8"
Any ideas why this would be happening in iOS and how I might fix it?
Do a search on the forum and you will see quite a few reports already.

@RaymondKelly Thanks, I'll go read that carefully and see if it is the same bug. Having a hard day with iOS today. :-)
Try updating to the latest 2.5.0 build of Xamarin.Forms if you haven't already. I remember reading something about a fix on ListView grouping.

Arthritis can set in slowly, but cause lasting pain later on. Our team at the Foot and Ankle Centers of North Houston, located in Texas, can help to treat this condition at any one of our following locations: Northwest Houston (281) 444-4114, Northeast Houston (281) 446-7773, Tomball (281) 351-8866, Liberty Dayton (936) 336-2633, The Woodlands (936) 231-8500 and Atascocita (281) 883-4849.
Arthritis is the gradual wearing away of cartilage lining the joint. Cartlidge is what provides cushioning and is damaged with this condition because of swelling (rheumatoid arthritis) or trauma (degenerative osteoarthritis). When this happens, bones rub against each other in the joints and cause pain, rigidity and a restriction in mobility. Majority of the individuals who develop this condition are middle-aged or elderly; yet, athletes who undergo severe traumas to their joints during high intensity activities may develop post-traumatic foot arthritis. Others who could also develop this condition include those who have to stand on their feet for a living for long periods of time and have recurring physical movements.
Factors increasing the likelihood of developing foot arthritis include genetics since it plays a large role in determining whether this condition occurs and being obese since extra body weight can cause abnormal amounts of pressure on joints. Symptoms of this condition include:
- Pain when touching
- Inflammation of tendons around the foot's joint
- Stiffness
- Hindered mobility
- Joint deformity
Preventative tips include maintaining a normal body weight to reduce pressure on the joints, a healthy diet, utilizing safety equipment to prevent injury to joints in the foot and physical therapy by stretching. However, if this condition has been left untreated, it may require surgery via ankle fusion or total ankle replacement to remedy the deformity, both of which are dependent on the age of the injured and the level of the pain they are experiencing.
Since this condition can develop over years due to a number of risk factors, it is imperative that you try to contact us right away to help your feet have the best chance of fighting this condition away!

In the early days of AA, the fellowship was really anonymous. The only way you even found out that there was such an organization was to have someone invite and escort you to a meeting. This person was your sponsor, and became responsible for showing you the ropes, making sure that you got to meetings, and so forth. Later on, after Bill Wilson wrote the Steps and they were adopted by AA, sponsors began guiding their "pigeons" (as newcomers were called back then) through the process that has since become pretty-much standard for all 12-Step groups.
Over time, the relationship of newcomers and sponsors has changed a bit, but the essential idea behind sponsorship has not. A sponsor is a person with substantial sobriety or clean time, who agrees to help a newcomer through the steps. And that is all a sponsor is, as far as the fellowships are concerned. He or she may become a friend and mentor in other respects, but the principal responsibility remains the same — to insure that the "sponsee" makes it through the first few months of sobriety with the skills to continue on the path to recovery.
An aside: Note that I wrote "the path to recovery," not the path of recovery. Recovery is a process, progressive and predictable, the same as relapse and the spiral into addiction. Early on, we are not "in" recovery, we are working toward it. After we have the tools, and are reliably applying them in our daily lives, we can say that we are established "in" recovery. This may seem like nit-picking, but it isn't. Unless we understand that recovery is a process, not an event, we are liable to assume too much, too soon, about our ability to remain clean and sober.
But I digress. I was in the process of pointing out what sponsors are for. They are not financial advisers. They are not marriage counselors, and the only relationship advice they need to be giving is to stay out of them for the first year or so. It is not their job to save our souls, nor is our religious affiliation (or non-affiliation) any of their business. Although they may elect to provide transportation to meetings occasionally, they do not relieve their sponsees of the responsibility to learn to fend for themselves. They do not provide loans, housing or romantic partnership for newcomers. That's why women sponsor women and men sponsor men, unless one of the parties is gay. (This was not always the case, but over the years it has proven to be a wise rule.)
One of the biggest changes over the years has been the custom of asking someone to become our sponsor. Early on, the person who brought you into the group became your sponsor. Then there was a period in AA when you came into a meeting and someone took you under their wing; in effect, your sponsor chose you.
Nowadays we get to choose, and that can be either a good or a bad thing. This writer spent a great deal of time trying to find a sponsor who was "right" for him, and made a number of lousy choices before hitting on one that worked. Remember the purpose: getting through the 12 steps. We don't need someone who can win a popularity contest, or discuss the fine points of Shakespeare, or help us improve our golf game. We need someone who thoroughly understands the fellowship and the steps. He or she will also insure that we become involved with the group and with service — progressively more as our abilities increase. If our sponsor is not doing those things, we need to take a good look at the relationship, because it is a pretty good sign that he or she either does not know, or does not understand the responsibilities that go with the job.
In the early days, it was presumed that after newcomer had gone through the steps, gotten involved in service, and broadened relationships in AA, the fellowship itself became all that was needed in terms of guidance. Although Bill Wilson referred to his friend Ebby as his sponsor until his death, it was not considered really necessary to have a sponsor after the first couple of years. Today that has changed, to a degree. Some people believe that they should always have sponsors. Others take the opposite position. I don't mean to push either, but I will say that it's nice to have someone you can talk to outside the family, who understands where you're coming from and who will not judge you.
Bottom line: we all need a sponsor early on, and it doesn't really matter if we like them. What matters is whether or not they're up to the job.
Disclaimer: this writer does not speak for AA, NA, or any other organization including Sunrise Detox. These are his opinions, and others will differ. As with all recovery information, try to take the good stuff and not get upset by the rest.

text: CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Treasurys declined Friday as investors weighed whether the recent drop in yields was justified ahead of what's likely to be a mostly optimistic assessment of the economy in next week's congressional testimony from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note finished U.S. trading down 7/32 at 99 8/32. Its yield rose to 4.10 percent vs. 4.07 percent at Thursday's close. Treasury declines were across the board, although the yield curve continued to flatten amid expectations the Fed would keep raising rates but that inflation is under wraps. The 2-year note fell 2/32 to 99 20/32, yielding 3.33 percent vs. 3.29 percent.

When your business invests in online community software, you're providing the infrastructure that allows customers to interact and support one another—all while making a stronger connection with your brand.
Although social media platforms can be valuable tools to attract new customers and drive brand awareness, they fall short in building deeper relationships. People go to these sites to connect with friends and family, and, if you're lucky, you may get their attention for a few seconds as they scroll through their timelines.
An online community is essentially a "social hub" for your customers to gather, discuss your products and services, and get help in a community of like-minded brand enthusiasts. You're also steering conversations towards a social destination where YOU control the customer experience, as opposed to public social networks. When your business invests in online community software, you are providing infrastructure that facilitates customer interaction and support, all while developing a stronger and more consistent connection with your brand.
Here are four ways marketing innovators create a vibrant social destination with online community software.
Before you invest in online community software, carefully consider why consumers should devote time to your community. The answer is the shared purpose that will unite its members. What does shared purpose look like? For Fitbit, it's users around the world supporting one another in achieving their wellness goals. For GoDaddy, it's small business owners learning from each other, brainstorming together, and even going into business together.
Brands like AGL, Australia's leading integrated energy company, understand that customers expect to interact digitally. They also want their questions, needs, and concerns addressed quickly. "Our goal has been simply to make it easier and quicker for our customers to find the information they need," says AGL Digital Community Channel Manager Liam Woods. To achieve this goal, AGL transformed its digital customer experience in 2015 by creating a social destination where customers can find information and solutions more easily than ever before.
To provide a seamless pathway for customers to get support, AGL promotes their community across multiple customer touchpoints, ranging from homepage links to an integrated content and social media strategy. However, the most impressive way they remove roadblocks is through intelligent, contextual FAQ integration on their website. This peer-to-peer feature allows customers to quickly find answers to commonly asked questions at the right time, allowing them to share feedback and also contribute to the growing knowledge base.
"Our community works because it's a collaboration...between the company and our most enthusiastic customers." - Mark Hopkins, Social Media Project Manager and Community Manager for the Lenovo Community
International technology powerhouse Lenovo had a mission to build a collaborative hub that could connect customers to other customers, Lenovo engineers, and Lenovo partners to solve technical questions 24/7. But before the community was even launched, Lenovo reached out to existing active users in the social web to ask for their support. These experienced users acted as guides in the planning and implementation of a new social destination—The Lenovo Community. Post-launch, these users continue to share their time and knowledge by acting as moderators, writing articles, and providing technical support. "They act as nodes in a human network, expanding our collective awareness, understanding, and ultimately, influence into other spheres," says community manager Mark Hopkins. In the first three years of operation, this group of approximately 30 members contributed 44% of the solutions in the community, and in less than one year helped grow the community knowledge base to over 1,200 articles. Now that's successful collaboration.
Software alone is not enough to keep customers engaged and motivated to return to your community. A proven way to incentivize members to participate and keep coming back is to reward them through gamification. Barclays Travel Community uses miles to motivate members to participate. Registered members of the community can earn miles for activities such as completing a travel profile, posting a story with a photo, or having your story "kudoed" by other registered members. Members can then redeem miles for travel awards or e-certificates, and can earn profile badges like "City Slicker" or "Stately Explorer" specific to their past travels, making it easy to find fellow travelers with similar interests.
It's time for brands to understand the current and potential value of online customer communities and develop an effective strategy for them. Learn how to leverage community to acquire and serve customers, and grow your existing customer base in the eBook The High Performing Community Handbook.

Ribbon Mixer Uses
As you may be aware, there are a number of different types of large scale mixers. There are a variety available depending on the requirements of a given job or task. In a previous article, we did an in depth study of planetary mixers, their advantages, drawbacks, and how they generally function. This article will take on a similar role with regards to ribbon mixers. Where are they used? How do they work? What are their pluses and minuses? Knowing that you, the reader, are dying to find out – we will continue without further ado.
The ribbon mixer is a (typically) large batch tool used primarily by companies that work in factories and/or require processing. The mixer operates by a series of blades operating at different angles revolving around a single central axis. The overall effect is a device that looks like it uses metallic ribbons to mix materials. To help visualize, the main shaft of a ribbon mixer is not significantly unlike the design of the average washing machine. This clever design leads to the effect that different items are mixed in different directions with only the single shaft revolving. One of the great advantages of the ribbon mixer compared to other styles is the amount of material that can be mixed. Most types of mixers typically need to be filled about halfway in order to operate properly. Filling too much can clog up the machine; filling too little can prevent the material from being mixed altogether.
In the case of the ribbon mixer, almost any amount (high or low) can be put in the bin and lead to an effective mix. However, despite its relatively simple design, ribbon mixers often require more power and more time to accomplish the same task as other mixers. Another drawback of the ribbon design is that it can lead to problems if the mixer is used for material that is or may become sticky. These mixtures tend to attach to the ribbons (blades) and require a great amount of care and maintenance to avoid. Given the design, which typically only allows easy access from above, cleaning is difficult and time consuming. The mixer is best utilized when mixing materials that contain numerous fine particles that must be mixed evenly for the final product. For this reason, it is extremely popular in manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries.
Like many other forms of industrial mixers, ribbon mixers are often very task specific. They do certain jobs very well, but are not always recommended for more general tasks. This could even be said of processing equipment as a whole. In an industry that creates many products which might be considered commodities, the ability to create these items with the greatest efficiency can lead to the highest profits. Creating equipment that best fills certain rolls can lead to greater outputs in a shorter period of time, even if the initial cost is higher. General tools may be initially cheaper, but one must consider that the costs associated with the greater time required, adjusting the equipment for each task, and the manpower required to perform the aforementioned tasks.

Verizon Motorola Droid Bionic leak points to $299 pricetag
I want to start by saying that I can't wait for this phone. It has everything I'm looking for: Verizon 4G, a 4.3-inch qHD resolution touchscreen, TI OMAP 4430 dual-core processor at 1GHz, 1GHz DDR2 RAM clocked at 10hh MHz, 8MP rear camera and 2MP front-facing camera. That being said, $299 is a pretty steep pricepoint. The phone isn't as sleek as earlier versions but I'm more interested in function over form anyway.

Hey hey, so, since i'm noob i need help
I have a 5v2 map, to play with my coworker at work and i've added some base defenses, namely unit spawn if P1 or P2 is in area X and i've given all four AI's the fort's that shoot, ie, Mordor fireball, Isen lightning etc etc...
Current script i have checks if a particular unit is in area X and then fires mighty catapult at the nearest unity of that type. The problem is, it sometimes fires out of area, which looks horrid, ie enemy soldiers surrounding half the fort, which is loosing health rapidly and it's shooting over the hill to try to hit reinforcements. Kinda lame. Is there a minimum range on fort "capital" weapons?
Is there any other, better, more elegant way? For example it's a sheer load of scripts for 4 players (the fifth is a ragged clan of wildmen hiding in the forests and hills with no fort) and to cover almost all the units us two human players have. If i want to edit it it's 15 mins of work just running through the menus.
So i was thinking along the lines of, if infantry is in area X, shoot on closest infantry in area X? Is that doable?
Thanks for any answers.

I was all set to go go kingfox's birthday party last night. We put the kid to bed and I was going to head out.
What was that sound? Sleet, hitting the windows. Wind like crazy.
I thought about taking the train but as I didn't want to stay out past midnight that would have entailed getting there, saying hi, and turning right back around.
I also was coming down with a cold. I know I didn't have the wherewithal to drive in windy, icy conditions.
I had to make the call to stay home.
I was glad I did when at 9:30 there was an inch of snow on the ground and the puddle in our backyard had already frozen solid. I had visions of me sliding off the Pulaski Skyway.
So, kingfox, the jinx is intact. I still haven't seen your apartment. Someday. We'll come to Hoboken and you can take us to your favorite lunch/dinner place. Or something. Or perhaps you can start a party more than 1 hour before bedtime.
This morning my head is huge and my throat is on fire. So I clearly made the right choice. But I'm still disappointed.

10 Questions To Ask Before Buying A Holiday Home Abroad
Are you considering buying a second property or a holiday home abroad? Doing so is a big step, and will take a lot of time, effort and money. First, ask yourself these 10 questions, and don't sign anything until you have answers.
Have you considered all financial aspects?
A financial advisor is a great starting point for the money side of buying abroad. Try and find one who knows about the property market in your target country as well, if possible. Give him or her full and unadulterated access to all of your finances, from budgets to bills to tax form. Tell them to be entirely honest with you, and let them guide you. Consider things like; if you're buying a second home, will paying for its upkeep impinge on your ability to maintain your first property? If you lose your job or get made redundant, will you still be able to pay for your property? While these are not fun conversation topics, they are necessities.
Have you done your homework?
Do you know what is going on in the country's government at the moment? With the banks? The transport system? If not, you need to find out before you make any commitments. Get familiar with any issues, both those high up and in local communities. Read the local news like your read your own countries news.
It might also be handy to chat with neighbours or the owner of the local pub or restaurants. You might find out things from them that you wouldn't find in the mainstream news. They might tell you about a new road that is being built, or a shopping centre. Or, they might warn you that there has been a string of criminal offences in the local area recently. Ask questions and be inquisitive. You'll likely discover invaluable information.
Do you speak the local language, or plan to learn?
Let's say you're headed to a small French village. Oh la la! You can do your research and read a handy guide to buying property in france. But how are your Bonjour's and your Oui's!? It is not an absolute necessity to speak the language of the place you're hoping to buy a property in. But it can really help. From introducing yourself to your new neighbours to asking for things in the supermarket, it can come in handy. You'll also feel more prepared to deal with more serious issues that might occur. This might be witnessing an RTA, or needing to speak to the police about something.
There are a number of different ways to learn the language. In the time that it takes the buy your property and move in, start taking classes. Going weekly will help massively. But if you don't have time for them, learn from home. Watch YouTube videos, and enjoy TV and movies in the local language. Put subtitles on and you'll start to pick bits up. Once you move out there, keep your learning up with an app on your phone, or a language CD for the car. Speak to locals too! Face to face interaction in the country is the single best way to learn. You might even be able to find someone who will teach you in return for lessons in your own language. Win win!
Can you respect the local culture?
Cultures, traditions and ways of life vary massively right across the world. If you really don't like a certain part of the country's culture, you might want to look elsewhere. If you strongly believe that women should not wear a hijab, for example, moving to a country that is predominantly Muslim may anger you. Think about your lifestyle too. Some European countries, like Spain, for example, take siestas in the afternoons. Shops, bars and restaurants shut and the town or city gets quieter. Will this suit the lifestyle and free time you have?
Can you haggle?
Haggling isn't something that is often done in places like the USA and the UK. However, in some countries, it is just a way of life. Rather than being rude or disrespectful, it is expected!
Once again, knowing the language or, at least, the basics means you'll be far better equipped when it comes to haggling and save money! The less like a tourist you look, the less you will be given 'tourist' prices. Shop in the same market stalls every day, and introduce yourself. Getting to know the people there will mean they start to respect you as 'local', and treat you as such.
Is subletting the property when you're not their viable?
There are dozens of different schemes and options for when it comes to buying abroad. Find out early on in the process if you'll be able to sublet. If it's your own property, you should be allowed too. This is a great way of making money on the place even when you're not there. In fact, you might even be able to earn enough to fund your own visits! However, there might be restrictions if you buy within a housing complex. Some companies won't allow this so that those living in the local area aren't living alongside a constant stream of people they don't know.
Is the airfare affordable?
Air fares are well-known for their ability to fluctuate. Do your research on the price range of flights to your target country. You don't want to get a nasty surprise in the summer months when you can't even afford to get there.
Also, research whether or not there are alternative ways of getting there. If you could drive, how many hours would it take and what would be the approximate cost of petrol? Or what about the ferry? Knowing your options here is important. What's the point in buying a holiday home if you can never get out there?
Are you happy to travel elsewhere less often?
One sacrifice many people who buy abroad have to make is the ability to travel elsewhere. This might be travelling elsewhere as regularly, or at all. If you're fine with that, go ahead. But if not, you might want to consider buying in a few years time instead. Use the money you would have used on your property to tick off a few more places on your bucket list. You might even discover somewhere you love even more in that time, and end up buying there!
Who will keep an eye on the property when you're away?
Empty properties are appealing to thieves and burglars. There is nobody inside to interfere with their crime. Plus, if you don't find out about a burglary until weeks or even months later, they'll be long gone and catching them will be incredibly hard. Do you have someone who can keep an eye on things while you're away? This is one reason why properties in holiday villages are so great. They sometimes come with an onsite security guard. Or at the very least, there will be neighbours around in a similar boat. You can then take it in turns to look out for one another. Once again, this is where knowing the language can come in useful! Take a cake over to your neighbours on either side and introduce yourself! They'll probably be more than happy to help, and you can return the favour for them.
Are you excited?
It's okay to feel stressed and a bit worried during the process. But make sure you maintain your sense of motivation and excitement. If this disappears, reassess if the decision you're making is the right one. If it definitely still is, keep your eye on the prize, remind yourself what all the hard work is for and keep going. You'll be so glad you did in the end.

THE YANKEES won, the Nationals lost and the team that should have been most comfortable at the trading deadline, the Mets, suddenly were thrust into discomfort and action.
The Yanks upgraded in three areas with Bobby Abreu, Cory Lidle and Craig Wilson without having to touch a top prospect or a key member of their current roster.
They not only found a taker for Shawn Chacon, who had the majors' third worst ERA (7.00) among pitchers with at least 60 innings.
But they received a very serviceable player back in Wilson, who is essentially what the Yanks were hoping Andy Phillips would be.
Now, in all likelihood, Wilson will be replacing Phillips as the semi-regular first baseman.
"We really thought Wilson was a guy a lot of AL teams would be interested in," said an NL GM, who thought the Pirates undersold Wilson.
"He is a high strikeout guy, but he can hit a fastball, damage lefty pitching, and not embarrass himself in right field or at first." When the deadline passed yesterday, the biggest shock was a trade not made. The assumption was that the Nationals would take the best package for Soriano. Instead, he is still with the team. Washington GM Jim Bowden refused comment, but the Nationals were telling folks there was no attractive deal to be made and that retaining Soriano gives them the best chance to re-sign the free-agent-to-be. But, of course, the Nats could have dealt Soriano and still been in the offseason bidding to resign him, plus the price tag just might be too prohibitive to keep him longterm anyway for the Nationals.
Competing executives criticized Bowden for misreading the market.
He held Soriano demanding three elite prospects that no one was going to surrender, and as time elapsed his position grew to look silly as other corner outfield bats such as Carlos Lee and Abreu were traded for far less.
"He set the bar high and had Lee and Abreu change the dynamic," an NL executive said. "By the end, it seemed that only the Angels and Twins were real players, and their GMs (Bill Stoneman and Terry Ryan) are the kind of guys who never budge with prospects anyway." The Mets did not relinquish heavily pursued youngsters either, notably Aaron Heilman or Lastings Milledge, and that turned out to be fortuitous. The club reported that key setup man Duaner Sanchez suffered a separated pitching shoulder Sunday night during a taxi accident and could miss the season. So Heilman's importance grows. And GM Omar Minaya had to call around yesterday and ask about relievers without killing his leverage by revealing his sudden intense interest (Sanchez's injury). For example, he reached out to Milwaukee on Francisco Cordero. He had to move Xavier Nady for Roberto Hernandez plus Oliver Perez, which means Milledge is returning to replace Nady.
The Mets need their manager or their veterans to lay down the law this time around with Milledge, explain that this team has a chance to do great things and he has a chance to contribute to that and, therefore, being a bad actor will not be tolerated. The Mets certainly are going to survive the regular season without Sanchez, and must hope a starter or two not used in that role in October from among Orlando Hernandez, Mike Pelfrey and John Maine can be helpful in the bullpen.
A few other trade deadline observations:
N The word was no great pitching was available and that played out. The best starter ERA moved belonged to Greg Maddux (4.69). It might turn out the best starter obtained during the season was El Duque.
N The most talked about young player moved yesterday was Joel Guzman from the stacked Dodger organization, who went to Tampa for Julio Lugo. You will find scouts who love Guzman's big size and huge ceiling. But just as many talk about his lack of passion and, one said, "the D-Rays have had so many problems at Triple-A with bad behavior from top prospects Elijah Dukes, B.J. Upton and Delmon Young, and now they are going to send a guy there who has terrible work habits."
N The Red Sox did nothing, which on the surface looked bad compared to the Yankees, especially because Boston was so aggressive in the trade market. But one NL executive said, "if David Wells and Tim Wakefield come back healthy, you are still talking about a team that will have among the AL's top four offenses, defenses, bullpens and rotations."
