Ticks are a vector for diseases: As ticks bite one host after another, diseases can spread to pets, humans, and other hosts. While Lyme disease is the most well known of the tick-borne illnesses, ticks can also carry other diseases that may cause harm to you or your pet.
Pay close attention if your pet becomes enervated or runs a fever after a tick bite or being outside during tick season—these are common symptoms of many tick-borne illnesses. While not all tick bites lead to diseases, bites should be treated very seriously and ticks should be removed promptly from pets.
You can also protect your pets with flea and tick prevention medications such as K9 Advantix or Frontline Plus.

What your Congressman's office space says about them
WASHINGTON -- Outside each congressman's Washington, D.C., office are the same American flag and welcome sign.
But inside, the personalities of the men and women who suburban voters elected to represent them are on display. From the silk flowers Evanston Democrat Jan Schakowsky has in her office to remember a trip to the Congo, to Wheaton Republican Peter Roskam's champagne bucket filled with mints, to McHenry tea partyer Joe Walsh's large bottle of Tabasco sauce, their office decor is as varied as they are.
Some offices are perfectly ordered and arranged, with not a paper out of place. Others are messy and in flux. Some are in-between.
Here's a look inside West and Northwest suburban Congress members' Washington, D.C., offices:
Rep. Randy Hultgren, 14th District
Formality seems to hang in the air in U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren's office space, and you're quickly made aware of the serious approach that the longtime state lawmaker has taken in the first months of his tenure in Congress.
Atop his clean mahogany desk sits a daybook, where the congressman reviews appointments and upcoming votes first thing every morning. A constituent has prepared a collection of Bible verses in a packet meant for Hultgren, a member of the Wheaton Bible Church, to reflect upon as he faces various decisions. Along with several of the day's newspapers, Hultgren has a copy of the Constitution and the Bible for easy reference.
A side table features several photos of his young family during a victory night celebration in November and from last February's primary. And a photo of Hultgren and his wife, Christy, dressed up for her sister's wedding three years ago.
On another small table to the left of his desk is a Gunnerson wooden carving of Abraham Lincoln. Hultgren's father brought it back for him from a recent trip to Sweden. Sitting next to it is a bust of Lincoln, bought at Mount Rushmore 40 years ago by his grandfather, a Baptist pastor.
Hultgren also has framed quotes by William Wilberforce, a British politician and leader of the anti-slavery movement.
"It's a reminder to me, of the value of all human life, his commitment and his perseverance," Hultgren said.
Rep. Peter Roskam, 6th District
Peter Roskam doesn't want people to think his new Republican leadership post has changed him from the suburban family man first elected to Congress in 2006.
And while his job as chief deputy whip comes with a prestigious office just off the House floor, designed by Benjamin Latrobe, the early architect of the Capitol, Roskam says he prefers to receive constituents in the more informal Cannon Office Building space across Independence Avenue.
In Roskam's Cannon office waiting area is a champagne bucket filled to the brim with Lifesaver mints and a coffee station with several choices of creamers.
Hanging on one wall is a framed article from the Roll Call newspaper about GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy's selection of Roskam to be his chief deputy, entitled "Tag Team." On the other is a framed photo of Roskam, a Bears jersey over his button-down shirt and tie, crouching before a group of captivated suburban students as he tells them a story.
Inside his personal office, the walls include framed Bible verses from Exodus and Psalms. And there's a large oil painting of his family and supporters marching in a suburban parade with red, white and blue 'Roskam for Congress' signs. The painting was done by Roskam's wife, Elizabeth, who will occasionally touch it up on visits to Washington, he says.
Roskam's also devoted wall space to framed maps of places he's visited, signed by the dignitaries and government officials he's met during his travels.
Roskam's desk is spotless, uncluttered, just as his was when he was in the state legislature. Former state Senate colleague Steve Rauschenberger says Roskam went through his mail "in about 12 minutes" daily.
The same is true today, staffers say, and Roskam's desk remains bare except for a pad of paper on which he writes.
On a table behind his desk, Roskam has several photos of his family of six, as well as several pictures of his early political days. There is a 1988 shot -- of Roskam with a slight mullet -- receiving a volunteer award from President Ronald Reagan for his family's educational assistance foundation, where he worked before his days in the General Assembly.
Rep. Judy Biggert, 13th District
The soft yellow walls and bright, warm lighting of Rep. Judy Biggert's office give off a comfortable, happy vibe.
In a back corner of the Hinsdale Republican's office sits a large wooden cabinet with glass doors. Among the items inside is a bobblehead doll of Naperville Mayor George Pradel.
Also inside the cabinet is a box of Wheaties with her smiling face blazoned across the front. The box is an award from The Science Coalition for her work on the House Science and Technology Committee to advance U.S. competitiveness on research and development.
Sitting on her desk next to her computer is a paperweight bearing a quote that Biggert treasures from former President Ronald Reagan. "There's no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit," she read proudly, as she lifted the weight from her desk.
Biggert's office coffee table is home to a trophy she received as a Bipartisan Champion for the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, hailed by Edward Kennedy as the first major civil rights legislation of the 21st century. The law prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage to a healthy person because they are genetically predisposed to develop a costly medical condition in the future.
Rep. Joe Walsh, 8th District
Walsh, a McHenry tea partyer who defeated a three-term Democratic incumbent with the help of a strong grass-roots effort, has vowed never to forget the people who elected him.
Reminding Walsh daily is a burgundy quilt on his office wall that a campaign volunteer from McHenry gave him on election night. It's hand-stitched with excerpts of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. There's also a simple sheet of paper propped up with "291" printed on it -- his victory margin over incumbent Melissa Bean of Barrington.
Also hanging from a wall is a flag, still creased from its military folding, given to him by a Vietnam veteran in the district. A congratulatory poster board addressed to him and wife, Helene, signed with hundreds of names hangs, as does a plaque bearing a key to the village of Fox Lake, where his district office is located. As an ode to his pledges for fiscal responsibility, Walsh has a piggy bank resembling Uncle Sam on a side table.
The office has an organized chaos feel to it, with staffers milling in and out freely.
On Walsh's desk are several sets of stacked papers. There are more in a box beside the desk on the floor, as well as on a coffee table that sits across from the black leather couch that doubles as his bed while he's in Washington. His storage closet holds his spare clothes, a pair of running shoes, cereal, hot and spicy peanuts, and his bedsheets.
"Every time I go back to the district, I try to bring something else back with me," Walsh said of the knickknacks.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, 9th District
The first thing you see upon entering the Evanston Democrat's office is a giant quilt draped over the wall. The quilt was made specifically for Schakowsky by a group of quilters from her district. It took two years to complete, Schakowsky said, and honors women who have served in the House, with a special row dedicated to Schakowsky on top.
On her wall also hangs a rainbow flag bearing the word "pace," Italian for "peace." She bought it in Italy after the Iraq War started.
"You could get them for like a dollar and they were hanging from all these balconies all over Rome," Schakowsky reminisced.
Next to her quilt are a couple shelves bearing awards, gifts and photos. A couple of those photos are of Schakowsky with President Barack Obama, whom she calls an old friend. The two served together in the Illinois Legislature in the 1990s.
She also prizes pictures of herself and her husband with their two golden retrievers, Lucky and Buddy, as well as a picture of herself with her grandkids on a recent trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Fla. She was a big fan of the butterbeer they served there.
"Oh it's so good, it's so sweet," she raved. "It tastes like cream soda."
On a window sill behind her desk sits a bouquet of brightly colored, silk flowers. They were given to her by a group of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Schakowsky recently ventured to learn about sexual and gender-based violence.
"If you think about what's the worst kind of sexual and gender-based violence, you end up with Congo," she said. "I wanted to see it there. I wanted to go. It was a fascinating trip."
Rep. Robert Dold, 10th District
The freshman Kenilworth Republican's office is slightly sparse, painted in a cool blue-grey color and home to some hefty, black leather furniture. The House has a large supply of furniture new members can pick from when they move in at no charge, spokesman Eric Burgeson, said.
Still, Dold has found a way to add some homey touches.
In his office cabinet, he's got a toy truck bearing the logo of Kraft, which is headquartered in his district. Next to the truck sits a blue box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese bearing Dold's face above a bowl of cheesy yellow noodles, a gift from the company.
Things take on a more serious tone in the stack of books that Dold keeps next to the Kraft items. There's a traditional looking copy of "A Modest Proposal to Amend the U.S. Constitution" next to a bright red copy of "REVOLT! How to Defeat Obama and Repeal His Socialist Programs."
The cabinet also holds a certificate given to Dold by the Boy Scouts. The Eagle Scout is very proud of his participation in this program, Burgeson said.
Next to Dold's computer is a tin of Icebreaker mints. The congressman also keeps a standing desk on his window sill, not liking to do all his work sitting down. On a table near his desk rests a picture of this year's freshman class.
Rep. Don Manzullo, 16th District
Don Manzullo, the Egan Republican now in his 19th year as a congressman, likes to call Capitol Hill "a pit." His cluttered office is full of stacks of papers, framed certificates and photographs waiting to be hung, and packets of information from the various visitors he's received.
Manzullo's many lined shelves feature photos with Stevie Wonder, President Barack Obama and Richard Nixon. A side table boasts a globe, a bust of Abraham Lincoln, and a statue of an eagle in flight. Above the eagle is a caricature that depicts Manzullo as a sort of manufacturing superhero for his district.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Only Joe Mauer and Glen Perkins have been on the Minnesota Twins' big-league roster longer than Brian Duensing, who has started and relieved for them since 2009.
A rocky spring, combined with a $2 million agreement to avoid arbitration, has placed the left-hander's future at least somewhat in doubt.
Wednesday marked the deadline to release arbitration-eligible players while owing them just 30 days of their 2014 salary. In Duensing's case, that would be $329,670.
If Duensing were to be released by March 26, the Twins would owe him just $494,505.
His 2014 salary ranks 11th on the Twins.
"Duensing has some (trade) value," said a National League evaluator who has seen Duensing throw this spring. "He's a useful piece. He's started before, and he can get both righties and lefties out."
Duensing, 31, threw a scoreless inning on Tuesday against Triple-A Rochester. In three previous outings this spring, including a "B" game appearance against Pittsburgh on March 7, Duensing posted a 15.00 earned-run average in three innings.
In those three outings, he allowed four hits, five earned runs, two walks and two home runs. That included a three-run shot by Pittsburgh Brent Morel in the "B" game.
Among left-handers still in camp, Scott Diamond is out of options and could be moved to the bullpen. Fellow starters Kris Johnson and Sean Gilmartin also remain, as well as situational lefties Matt Hoffman, Aaron Thompson and Caleb Thielbar and closer Glen Perkins.
Thielbar, voted the club's top rookie in 2013, would seem to be a lock to make the Opening Day roster. He is due just more than the $500,000 big-league minimum in 2014.

From the first 40 picks (61 to 100), three are active players, six are recently retired and the rest are all in the Hall of Fame.

Taylor Swift Shares Pictures of Her Kitten Meredith
Taylor Swift's love of cats is well-documented. She even wears shirts with cats on 'em. But don't go assuming Swift will end up a crazy cat lady just because she is crazy 'bout felines. Like this pic, the singer has been sharing photos of her precious new kitten Meredith, a gray and white ball of uber adorable. Seriously, you will OD on cuteness, once you check out these photos of the little furball.
Don't you want to carry Meredith around in your pocket? We bet Swift will take her on tour wherever she goes, since she is so darn cute and probably can't bear to part with Swifty.
Taylor tweeted a photo of herself and Meredith hanging out and bonding, as well as a bunch of shots of the kitty nestled up and napping; curled up into a ball; camped out on one the toe of one of mom's Oxford shoes; and hanging out in one of Swift's black motorcycle boots. Can we get a loud and collective, "Awwwww!" from you, dear readers?
The shots make you want to head out to the local shelter and nab a kitten in need of a home, doesn't it? We look forward to more adorable shots of Meredith as she blossoms from kitten to cat.

So Kanye West put out a 30+ minute preview music video for his upcoming album -- and in it he seems to fall in love with this bird woman who fell from the sky, but people judge her, so she flies back to wherever she came from. And in the middle there's a dinner party.
But the music is awesome. Seriously.

Pardon this brief interruption to our regular video game concept art schedule, but I figured a movie that's on track to be one of the biggest of all time - and one starring a whole bunch of awesome superheroes - was worth the detour.
This art is the work of Nathan Schroeder, for whom The Avengers was actually his seventh Marvel film.
Other movies Schroeder's worked on include the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean, the fourth Indiana Jones film and X-Men.
You can see plenty more of his work at his personal site.

Posts Tagged 'Non-Filers'
Does the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have the legal authority to use fraudulently created documents to bind born-free Americans to a debt; take punitive actions against them to collect that debt, including wage garnishment, liens, levies, and property seizures, and; take legal action against them, resulting in indictment, prosecution, conviction, and imprisonment?
As an American, living under the protection of the Constitution (the supreme Law of the Land), the answer can only be a resounding "NO!"
Unfortunately, the Department of Justice argues the IRS does have that authority, and the Federal Courts agree.
On August 4, 2015, I filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the U.S. Attorney General. The gravamen (essence) of the complaint is the IRS' fraudulent manipulation of a "non-filer's" Individual Master File (IMF) data associated with its Automatic Substitute For Return (ASFR) scheme.
The fraud occurs when certain Transaction Codes are entered into the Audit Information Management System (AIMS) and requires the use of a push code to bypass the Individual Master File (IMF) safeguards.
The supposed result is the generation of a "Substitute For Return" (SFR) with an amount due of $0.00. I say "supposed" because, in reality, no SFR is EVER created.
No matter, though. The IRS subsequently modifies the $0.00 SFR to reflect an amount due for taxes, interest and penalties based on reported Form 1099 or W-2 data. It then creates a "self-authenticating" certification, which is used by the Department of Justice (DoJ) in court proceedings to shield IRS experts from being cross-examined concerning the details of the IMF fraud. This "self-authenticating" certification results in wage garnishment, liens, levies, property seizures, arrest, indictment, prosecution, conviction and imprisonment of ordinary, working Americans.
I was introduced to this fraud by Michael Ellis, who was instrumental in its discovery. At Michael's suggestion, I sent a request, under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), for a copy of my IMF. When I received it. I examined it and determined the IRS had committed the same fraud against me as it did against Michael, indicating that this fraud is systemic in nature.
So, I gathered all my evidence and filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint was assigned to Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly and given the Case Number 1:15-CV-01288.
For the purpose of educating you about how the IRS, the Department of Justice (DoJ), and the Courts commit fraud every day against ordinary Americans, I have set up a separate page on this website entitled "1:15-CV-01288" where I will post all of the documents related to this case.
As of this writing, there are six (6) documents posted there, with more to follow, as the case progresses.
Please follow the timeline below and feel free to download, read, and share any, or all, of the linked documents:
August 4, 2015
McNeil – Original Complaint (122 pages 5.4mb)
August 5, 2015
McNeil – Cover letter to DoJ Caroline Ciraolo (115 pages 4.1mb)
August 13, 2015
USDC – Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly – Order Establishing Court Procedures (9 pages 636kb)
September 25, 2015
McNeil – Affidavit as Proof of Service of Summonses (8 pages 1.1MB)
October 19, 2015
DoJ – Motion to Dismiss with Memorandum in Support (17 pages 342kb)
October 20, 2015
USDC – Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly – Ordering Plaintiff's November 13, 2015 Response to DoJ Motion to Dismiss (1 page 19kb)
The outcome of any legal proceeding is unpredictable, and this case will be no exception.
I'll post another blog after I file my opposition to the DoJ's Motion to Dismiss and provide a link to that document for your further education.
Stay tuned.

Alan Jackson, 'You Go Your Way' – Song Review
On 'You Go Your Way,' Alan Jackson finds himself heartbroken… again. That's three radio singles in a row that focus on the wrong end of love, but not all with convincing pathos.
"All your pretty bags are packed / Forever sure did go by fast / I hope you find the skies are blue / The grass is green and the road is smooth," Jackson sings to begin the song. Unlike 'So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore,' the legend doesn't appear to dive deep into a memory to recreate a sense of loss. The song is sung with all the worry of Brad Paisley's 'I'm Gonna Miss Her.'
"You go your way, c'est la vie sweet baby / Here's hoping that you don't hate me / Who knows you might just maybe miss me out there / It ain't about who's right or wrong / Love dies and life goes on / Had a good thing but now it's long gone baby / You go your way and I'll go crazy," Jackson adds during each chorus without a whiff of insanity in his voice.
'Thirty Miles West' is a somewhat of a dark project, full of honest and sincere sentiment. 'You Go Your Way' is more a bridge song that connects one low to the next high. If this song becomes a hit when 'So You Don't Love Me Anymore' couldn't, it doesn't speak well of country radio.

You can never have enough accessories, right? And certainly not if they're by Marimekko! I was lucky to find the Marimekko Converse sneakers and the lovely Pisaroi tote in the sales a few weeks ago. I also needed a good umbrella so I decided to finally invest in one (I'm really tired of cheap ones that come apart after a few days). I went for the classic Piccolo pattern that I love as it will go with anything.

SOMERSET — The selectmen said that the state agency responsible for housing homeless people at the Super 8 Motel will be contacted to discuss problems that have been going on at that location.
The issue was brought up by selectman Donald Setters who said the town has received four written complaints about the homeless people staying at the motel. Mr. Setters said there has been an ongoing problem at the motel. He said the complaints have had to do with trash being thrown on people's properties, people running around other people's yards, carriages being left on properties and vehicles being broken into.
He said the homeless people have been living there full time and said the motel is not set up for full time living.
"It dismays me that it is being forced on us by the state," Mr. Setters said of the homeless program being run at the motel.
Mr. Setters said apartment building owners could not have such living conditions for their tenants as the people in the homeless program have at the motel. He asked Town Counsel Clement Brown what the town could do about the situation. Atty. Brown said the situation at the motel is a Board of Health issue.
He said the town could enforce sanitation codes at the motel and also could decide on if the situation there is a nuisance to neighbors, as far as police matters. Board of Health Chairman Stu Mahjoory said the motel is the next property that would be addressed by his board on a list in which properties with complaints on them are being addressed.
Police Chief Joseph Ferreira said his department has responded to the motel for domestic disputes and car break-ins.
"We are certainly down there often," Chief Ferreira said.
Chief Ferreira said people in the homeless program have to go to a state agency to get a vouchure to stay at the motel. He said if they break rules that have been agreed upon, they can be evicted from the motel.
Chief Ferreira said there is a person at the cabinet level in state government who does not agree with the state putting homeless people up in motels.
Chief Ferreira said his officers check license plates of people staying at the motel to see if they have any criminal records.
Chief Ferreira said he does not think that families should be living in motel rooms without kitchens and places for children to play. He said the state should be providing some type of apartment housing for them to live in.
"There are families living there with hot plates and that's it," Chief Ferreira said.
Chief Ferreira said his officers have told him that the people in the homeless program take up all but two or three rooms in the motel at times.
Chief Ferreira said he has talked to state Rep. Patricia Haddad and state Sent. Michael Rodrigues about the homeless program at the Super 8 Motel.
Mr. O'Neil said he suspects there are sanitary violations that people should not be living under at the motel. Atty. Brown said that he can check to see if the state gets exceptioins from sanitary codes, but he doubts it.
Children from the homeless program have attended Somerset schools and churches from town and the Somerset Council On Aging have provided assistance in the form of food and gifts during the holiday season to the people living at the motel.
Mr. O'Neil said he knows the economy is tough, but he wants to make sure people are living under acceptable conditions.
"We don't want to wait on this issue," Mr. O'Neil said. "We want to make sure things are done correctly and if it's not up to code, we have an issue."

From food trucks to high-end restaurants, chicken and waffles has become a foodie staple that customers and restaurants across the country are clamoring to get a taste of. But for the first time, the Southern combo will be available on a mass scale, and not in its typical format.
Today, Popeyes Louisiana Chicken is unveiling its newest product, Chicken Waffle Tenders, which take the brand's Handcrafted Tenders and dips them in crispy, waffle-style coating, then pairs the combo with a Honey Maple Dipping Sauce. Served with Cajun fries and a biscuit, the limited-time combo can be purchased for $4.99.
Dick Lynch, chief global brand officer for Popeyes, says the success the brand has seen since undergoing a transformation and revitalization over the last five years is largely driven by culinary innovations like the Chicken Waffle Tenders.
Though the brand has long played with the idea of chicken and waffles, vice president of culinary innovation Amy Alarcon says the stumbling block was always to create a product that worked with the concept's operations.
"We have so much business going through the drive thru and out the door that we wanted to make sure this was something that was portable," she says. "Instead of trying to do separate waffles and bone-in fried chicken, we said, 'Why don't we try dipping our tenders in a really good waffle batter?'"
Alarcon says the tenders' "sweet, malty, vanilla, maple scents" make the product a complete sensory experience. "You can actually smell this on the tenders when you get your order," she says. "It's just got such a lovely aroma."
Combined with a brown butter, maple honey sauce, the product takes on "that perfect peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper kind of marriage between the two," Alarcon says.
To capture the product's sensory experience, Popeyes created a series of taste-test videos that have been posted to the brand's Facebook page in the days leading up to the Chicken Waffle Tenders launch. The videos feature footage of Popeyes customers trying the product for the first time, "because it is a remarkable sensory experience," Lynch says. "You smell it and you taste it and it's pretty stunning, and we thought the best way to communicate that is just to videotape people doing it."
Popeyes is also relying on in-store table tents and its spokeswoman, Annie, to deliver a national, 30-second TV spot surrounding the Chicken Waffle Tenders and its Louisiana heritage.
Lynch says it's this emphasis on the brand's history and heritage—along with its focus on high-quality food and culinary creations—that make limited-time offers like the Chicken Waffle Tenders resonate so strongly with customers.
"Compared to other [quick-service] brands, Popeyes is just a brand … that has a much more authentic culinary point of view and approach, and I would say our customers are more appreciative of interesting, forward-thinking, forward-leaning flavors and products," he says.
Alarcon says the brand's customers appreciate its practice of cooking food like the Chicken Waffle Tenders fresh in the restaurant.
"We hear those words repeated back over and over again from consumers that everything just tastes like it was just prepared in the back, and the reality is it was," she says. "We don't see that in a lot of our competitors."

In my early 30's, I became dissolussioned with my church, after witnessing the cast-off attitude they had with my grandmother, who was in a nursing home at that time, and I stopped attending, although still considered myself Methodist. After my sister's boys started attending a Lutheran grade school, where she taught pre-school, I started attending that church. I thought I had come full circle, as I was now practicing the faith that my grandmother had grown up in. I called myself a Lutheran, and became active in that church, attending service every Sunday, and weekly Bible studies.
After a huge blow-up at Church between the pastors and elders (and eventual firing of one of the pastors),
I no longer saw those I looked up to in the same light. Rather than switch churches, I simply stopped going. I had too many unanswered questions on how "Christians" were supposed to treat each other. By this time, my sister had moved out of the area, and was no longer attending any church, either. She became interested in Wicca, and over the years, has attained the level of Priestess. She found a faith that answers her questions .
I'm still searching for mine. The more I look, the more I realize that I do believe in a higher spirit. I am simply uncomfortable with giving that higher spirit a label, and adhereing to a set doctrine made up by mortal men who insist that I do things their way.

Althougth once a more religious country than nowadays, there has always been a certain love/hate relationship betwenn Irish Catholicism and the paranormal. After all, the festival of Hallowe'en or Samhain from the Irish Gaelic, sits quite happily with the Holy day of all souls! So kids are happily going about dressed as witches, devils and God knows what while at the same time their parents (or more likely, grandparents) are praying in the church for the dead! I love Hallowe'en and have the house as spooky as I can make it...it's a sort of odd relationship!

I'll have to go back and read it all when I've got the time (running out to work right now)
Other mix didn't seem right but I'd say I've been leaning more toward general spiritualism lately,
Posted 03 March 2008 - 04:42 PM
I left Christianity not because of any problems with Jesus (I still follow his teachings) but because most of the people I know who call themselves "Christians" do not seem to be trying to follow Christ's teachings, and so I felt that at the end of time it would look bad if I stayed in that group. What I'm saying is that I left because I felt it was more in keeping with Jesus' teachings than staying! Call me a "Jesuist" (not a Jesuit!) - I follow Jesus but do not agree with the modern thing called "Christianity" which I feel bears little or no resemblance to his original church. So my leaving Christianity was... for Jesus! lol
Every once in a while, I do run across a Christian who I feel is really trying to follow Jesus' teachings, and it is a breath of fresh air. So for those of you are following his teachings, and have the endurance to see the thing through and have stayed in Christianity, more power to you. I hope you guys can turn the whole thing back around.
Why Wiccan as my place to run to after leaving Christianity? I figured God/dess loves me no matter whether I call him/her "Buddha, Muhhamed, Jesus, Apollo, Mithras, Diana" or whatever, so I just picked a faith with the best costumes! I reach Heaven just as easily by calling Divine Spirit by his/her Aramaic name as by his/her Latin name. Oh yes, and I am a professor of Latin and Greek, so doing the old Roman and Greek rituals is lots of fun, and I can read the original texts so can do the old rituals accurately. I can, however, comfortably pray in any church - Moslem mosque, Jewish Synagogue, whatever, because I believe God/dess is everywhere - even in me.

However I do follow the shamanic path and all that it entails. But aside from that, mostly I go with what works, I've felt the power of Christ, I've felt and seen the power of Odin and I've felt the Great Mystery.
So I know something and someone is out there. But who it is, well it hasn't let me know.
Shamanism works great for me, since Shamans seem to be the oldest staple in religion, and since they are found everywhere from tribes in Africa, South America, the Native Americans, the Norse, the tribes in Siberia, pretty much everywhere, I know I can use whichever religion is needed to get whatever job done for not only the benefit of myself but others as well.

For many years, I was Catholic. My entire family are Catholic. My beliefs only changed when my best friend killed himself. I began looking for alternatives. Not to summon him, or anything, it kind of just happened. And although he may have triggered it, it wasnt over his death. Its hard to explain. I was seeking answers, but not for him, because for a year I hated him, I was searching for something to solidify my hope in life after death, I think. That's when I found Wicca.
I still pray to God. But I pray to Gods also. I believe that there is great power out there and great power in people, too. Im so rambling and not actually answering the question, I just find it too difficult.
While, I have read that Wiccans, or more extremists perhaps, dislike dabblers, thats essentially what I am at this stage, with many religions, I guess.

My mom: "Don't even think about marrying him, don't become Wiccan because he is" and so forth.
As a former missionary, let me say your mom is at least partially right. I've seen so many people join this religion or that just to please someone, but they often don't have roots strong enough to stay the path if that relationship goes south. If you choose Wicca, choose it for yourself. It is a beautiful religion with much to offer.
I didn't lose my mind - I have it backed up on a disk ... somewhere

8 Facts About the First Woman to Lead the Philippines
By: Linnea Crowther
6 years ago
Corazon Aquino rose from politician's wife reluctant to be in the public eye to beloved champion of the people bringing democracy to the Philippines. The story of her kind-hearted leadership as the first female president in all of Asia seems too good to be true. But it is… and in honor of Aquino, who would have celebrated her 80th birthday today, we've got eight facts about her life and career to prove it.
1. Though Aquino grew up in the Philippines, she went to the United States for college. There she majored in mathematics and French and volunteered with Thomas Dewey's 1948 presidential campaign.
2. In 1954 she married Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., who became mayor of their town at age 22, governor of their province at 29, and the youngest-ever elected senator in the Philippines at 34. As her husband ascended in the political ranks, Aquino preferred to remain in the background, raising their five children. She even declined to go on stage with him at campaign events, preferring to watch rather than participate.
3. After her husband's assassination in 1983, Aquino began coming out of her shell, continuing her husband's work of speaking out against the Marcos regime.
4. Within three years the formerly reluctant public figure was convinced – thanks to devoted supporters and 1,000 signatures on a petition – to run for president against Ferdinand Marcos. Despite Aquino's strong campaign and overwhelming support, Marcos's allies declared him the winner.
5. Sure that she was the rightful winner of the election, Aquino organized a "People's Victory Rally" and drew a massive crowd. The ongoing support from the people of the Philippines finally convinced the folks doing the counting that Aquino was the true elected president.
6. Aquino was sworn in February 25, 1986, bringing an end to 20 years of martial rule under Marcos. The day became known as the People Power Revolution.
7. During her single six-year term as president, Aquino created a new Constitution, brought stronger civil rights to the people of the Philippines, and worked to reform her country's debt problem. Urged to run for a second term, she declined, because she wanted to make it clear that the presidency shouldn't be a lifelong appointment.
8. For the rest of her life, Aquino remained active in politics, working to continue the democratic momentum she got started. She is remembered as a hero and a saint, and her legacy approaches mythical proportions. But she would be the first to remind us that she was doing the will of the people – it was the whole country's revolution, not just hers.

8 p.m.
A second White House staffer has departed the Trump administration in the wake of abuse allegations.
Spokesman Raj Shah confirms speechwriter David Sorensen resigned Friday after the White House learned of the allegations against him.
Shah says Sorensen denies the allegations, which were first reported by The Washington Post.
The Post says Sorensen's ex-wife claimed he was violent and emotionally abusive during their short-lived marriage.
Staff secretary Rob Porter, one of the president's closest aides, resigned Wednesday after the publication of allegations that he'd abused his two ex-wives. He, too, denies the allegations.
6:45 p.m.
The White House has announced who will replace former staff secretary Rob Porter, who resigned this week amid domestic abuse allegations.
Former deputy staff secretary Derek Lyons has been promoted to acting staff secretary. The Harvard Law School grad previously worked as a senior adviser to Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign and Sen. Rob Portman, according to his Linkedin profile.
Porter resigned Wednesday amid allegations that he had abused two former ex-wives. He has denied the allegations and says he is the victim of a smear campaign.
The announcement came as part of a slew of promotions announced by the White House Wednesday evening.
Trump has also tapped former Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Carroll to serve as the next drug czar.
4:40 p.m.
White House chief of staff John Kelly says a senior aide's resignation came within an hour of learning about new accusations of spousal abuse.
Kelly tells reporters he learned Tuesday night that staff secretary Rob Porter, the chief of staff's right-hand man, had allegedly abused two ex-wives.
Kelly says, "Forty minutes later he was gone."
The White House announced Wednesday that Porter had resigned. That same day, it issued a statement from Kelly praising Porter.
Kelly's handling of the Porter matter has cast a harsh spotlight on the chief of staff, who has recently drawn the ire of President Donald Trump.
But a White House official said Friday that Kelly has not offered his resignation.
Porter has denied the allegations and blamed a "smear campaign" against him.
1:25 p.m.
President Donald Trump says he hopes an aide who resigned this week in the wake of domestic abuse allegations has "a great career ahead of him."
Trump tells reporters at a surprise appearance Friday that former White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter did "a very good job while he was in the White House" and adds: "We wish him well."
Porter has been accused of domestic abuse by two ex-wives and a former girlfriend. He has denied the charges.
Trump tells reporters he was surprised by the abuse allegations and called the news "very sad."
Trump is also stressing that Porter maintains he is innocent. He says: "I think you have to remember that."
1 a.m.
Pressure is mounting on White House chief of staff John Kelly amid questions about his defense of a senior aide he fought to keep in a highly sensitive West Wing job despite accusations of spousal abuse from two ex-wives.
White House staff secretary Rob Porter, a member of President Donald Trump's inner circle and arguably Kelly's closest aide, cleaned out his desk on Thursday. But the aftershocks of his resignation continue amid concerns about his access to classified information.
Kelly himself faced criticism for initially defending his aide - only to later shift course after the publication of photos showing one of Porter's ex-wives with a black eye.

Associate Professor of English Dr. Mary Beth Pope is a professor who makes a habit of opening doors to her students - specifically one she herself was not guided through. A key part of her creative writing courses involves walking all of her students through the publication process. In fact, by the end of each semester, every one of her students is required to submit his or her work for publication to get a sense for what the process entails.
"I was never taught this even as a graduate student. It is information faculty for some reason do not either bother to share or do not think students need to know at that point," said Dr. Pope. "I feel very strongly about teaching students where to go to get the information they need about publishing their work."
Despite the fact that the average acceptance rate for submissions to national literary magazines is around one percent, the program has experienced impressive success, with five students having works accepted for publication last year alone. Julia Brennan '13 had her essay, "Of Sound Mind" published in Stepping Stones Magazine; Maxwell Dolan's '13 essay, "Casting," was accepted for publication in the July 2013 issue of Whiskey Paper Review; Hannah Lane's '13 creative non-fiction work, "Buon Viaggio," was published in the February 2013 issue of Bengal Lights; Samuel Nickerson's '13 essay, "Lasting Impressionisms," was accepted for publication in the summer 2013 issue of The Bicycle Review; and Raven Heroux '13 had two essays accepted for publication. "Training Wheels" will appear in the spring issue of Bookends Review and "Technical Difficulties" was accepted for publication in The Healing Muse: A Journal of Literary and Visual Arts, published by The State University of New York's Center for Bioethics and Humanities.
"It gives them an advantage when applying to grad schools, something concrete besides grades that says 'This is what I am capable of,'" said Dr. Pope. "To be able to provide this for my students is huge. It is the greatest thing I could possibly give them."

Knit knit knit knit and watch three free On-Demand movies.
1. Auto Focus. Includes Willem Dafoe. Not great.
2. Coffy. Pam Grier. A classic. If you have to watch one of these movies pick this one for the camp value.
3. Saw III. I like horror movies, but the Saw series is just awful.
Share photos of 2.5 completed pairs of Mother's Day socks:
1. "Child's French Sock" from Nancy Bush, Knitting Vintage Socks. Knit in Zen Yarn Garden Serendipity Fingering. Love the pattern (elegant and very easy to memorize), love the tight twist of the yarn.
2. "Lichen Ribbed Sock" from Knitting Vintage Socks. Knit in Spunky Eclectic sock yarn, don't remember which type. This yarn striped in the most awesome way, I'm very pleased.
3. Basic sock striped in Reynold's Soft Sea Wool remnants with a cuff edged in some unknown leftovers. This cuff edge idea is stolen from Nicole's brilliant striped socks.
Next up: Knit knit knit, calculations for new pattern, sketches, knit, and another movie... Moll Flanders, perhaps? Midnight Bayou, a Lifetime Channel Original? A bodice-ripper will contrast nicely with what I've seen so far today!
Have a friend coming from DC for the weekend tonight, hence the knitting binge. I may be at New Hampshire Sheep and Wool tomorrow... anyone going?

Secret stash found in mobster's home
CHICAGO: Nearly $750,000 cash, loaded guns, jewelry and audio recordings have been found in the Oak Brook home of convicted Chicago mobster Frank Calabrese Sr, authorities said Wednesday.
Among the items found stashed in a hole in a basement wall and hidden by a family portrait were recording devices and more than a dozen microcassettes, some with recordings on them. The evidence suggests that Calabrese Sr. secretly recorded his mob confederates, court documents say.
"If some prominent Outfit guys are on these tapes talking to Frank Calabrese about Outfit business, then that's a real trump card for the federal government then if they want to go in and indict," said John Binder, the author of The Chicago Outfit.
Authorities said they believe that the seven firearms they found were used in criminal activity because they were wrapped in cloth
to prevent fingerprints from being left behind.
The documents might prove that Calabrese and his wife attempted to launder illegal assets to avoid paying court-ordered restitution, according to the document. Deeds and other documents evidencing the transfer of property were found in a bankers' box and a plastic bin in the home's garage.
The 71-year-old Calabrese Sr. was found responsible for more than a dozen mob murders as a result of being secretly recorded himself as part of the landmark Operation Family Secrets case.
His son, Frank Calabrese Jr., recorded his father in prison talking about the mob murders he committed, and Calabrese Sr.'s brother, Nick, testified against him at trial, describing the murders they did together.
Calabrese Sr. is being held under the strictest security at a federal prison in Missouri. His wife, Diane, and their two sons live in the home, the Chicago Tribune reported. Diane Calabrese did not return a phone call for comment Wednesday.
Calabrese Sr. "hasn't lived there since the 1990s," said Calabrese's attorney, Joseph Lopez. "I don't know whose stuff it is."

One of PostgreSQL's joys is a robust support of a variety of date and time data types and their associated operators. This has allowed me to write calendaring applications in PostgreSQL that would have been considerably more difficult on other platforms.
Before we get down to the nuts-and-bolts, I need to explain a few things to the many who have come to us from database applications which are less ANSI 92 SQL compliant than PostgreSQL (particularly Microsoft SQL Server, SyBase and Microsoft Access). If you are already educated, you'll want to skip down to "Working with DATETIME, DATE, and INTERVAL values".
(BTW, I am not on an anti-Microsoft tirade here. I use MS SQL Server as an example of a non-standards-compliant database because I am a certified MS SQL Server admin and know its problems quite well. There are plenty of other non-compliant databases on the market.)
ANSI SQL and OPERATORS
In the ANSI SQL world, operators (such as + - * % || !) are defined only in the context of the data types being operated upon. Thus the division of two integers ( INT / INT ) does not function in the same way as the division of two float values (FLOAT / FLOAT). More dramatically, you may subtract one integer (INT - INT) from another, but you may not subtract one string from another (VARCHAR - VARCHAR), let alone subtract a string from an integer (INT - VARCHAR). The subtraction operator (-) in these two operations, while it looks the same, is in fact not the same owing to a different datatype context. In the absence of a predefined context, the operator does not function at all and you get an error message.
This fundamental rule has a number of tedious consequences. Frequently you must CAST two values to the same data type in order to work with them. For example, try adding a FLOAT and a NUMERIC value; you will get an error until you help out the database by defining them both as FLOAT or both as NUMERIC (CAST(FLOAT AS NUMERIC) + NUMERIC). Even more so, appending an integer to the end of a string requires a type conversion function (to_char(INT, '00000')). Further, if you want to define your own data types, you must spend the hours necessary to define all possible operators for them as well.
Some database developers, in a rush to get their products to market, saw the above "user-unfriendly" behaviour and cut it out of the system by defining all operators to work in a context-insensitive way. Thus, in Microsoft Transact-SQL, you may add a DOUBLE and an INTEGER, or even append an INTEGER directly to a string in some cases. The database can handle the implicit conversions for you, because they have been simplified.
However, the Transact-SQL developers disregarded the essential reason for including context-sensitive operators into the SQL standard. Only with real, context-sensitive operators can you handle special data types that do not follow arithmetic or concatenation rules. PostgreSQL's ability to handle IP addresses, geometric shapes, and, most importantly for our discussion, dates and times, is dependant on this robust operator implementation. Non-compliant dialects of SQL, such as Transact-SQL, are forced to resort to proprietary functions like DATEADD() and DATEDIFF() in order to work with dates and times, and cannot handle more complex data types at all.
Thus, to answer the first question :
Q. Where are the DATEADD and DATEDIFF functions in PostgreSQL?
A. There are none. PostgreSQL does not need them. Use the + and - operators instead. Read on.
WORKING with DATETIME, DATE, and INTERVAL VALUES
Complete docs on date/time data types exist, I will not attempt to reproduce them here. Instead, I will simply try to explain to the beginner what you need to know to actually work with dates, times, and intervals.
- DATETIME or TIMESTAMP
- Structured "real" date and time values, containing year, month, day, hour, minute, second and millisecond for all useful date & time values (4713 BC to over 100,000 AD).
- Simplified integer-based representation of a date defining only year, month, and day.
- Structured value showing a period of time, including any/all of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. "1 day", "42 minutes 10 seconds", and "2 years" are all INTERVAL values.
What about TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE?
An important topic, that I don't want to get into here. Eventually someone will document this. Suffice it to say that all TIMESTAMP values carry TIMEZONE data as well which you may safely ignore if you don't need to handle different time zones.
Which do I want to use: DATE or TIMESTAMP? I don't need minutes or hours in my value
That depends. DATE is easier to work with for arithmetic (e.g. something reoccurring at a random interval of days), takes less storage space, and doesn't trail "00:00:00" strings you don't need when printed. However, TIMESTAMP is far better for real calendar calculations (e.g. something that happens on the 15th of each month or the 2nd Thursday of leap years). More below.
Now, to work with TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL, you need to understand these few simple rules :
1. The difference between two TIMESTAMPs is always an INTERVAL
TIMESTAMP '1999-12-30' - TIMESTAMP '1999-12-11' = INTERVAL '19 days'
2. You may add or subtract an INTERVAL to a TIMESTAMP to produce another TIMESTAMP
TIMESTAMP '1999-12-11' + INTERVAL '19 days' = TIMESTAMP '1999-12-30'
3. You may add or subtract two INTERVALS
INTERVAL '1 month' + INTERVAL '1 month 3 days' = INTERVAL '2 months 3 days'
4. Multiplication and division of INTERVALS is under development and discussion at this time
It is suggested that you avoid it until implementation is complete or you may get unexpected results.
As not all divisions of intervals can be answered distinctly, it might never be implemented. If you only want to divide intervals consisting of days, hours, minutes and seconds (such as results of timestamp subtractions), the way to go is:
EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM INTERVAL '4 hours') / EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM INTERVAL '2 hours') = 2
5. You may NOT (ever) perform Addition, Multiplication, or Division operations with two TIMESTAMPS
6. Many larger INTERVAL values, like the calendar values they reflect, are not constant in length when expressed in smaller INTERVAL values
For example (differences bolded):
TIMESTAMP '2001-07-02' + INTERVAL '1 month' = TIMESTAMP '2001-08-02'
TIMESTAMP '2001-07-02' + INTERVAL '31 days' = TIMESTAMP '2001-08-02'
TIMESTAMP '2001-02-02' + INTERVAL '1 month' = TIMESTAMP '2001-03-02'
TIMESTAMP '2001-02-02' + INTERVAL '31' days' = TIMESTAMP '2001-03-05'
This makes the TIMESTAMP/INTERVAL combination ideal, for example, for scheduling an event which must reoccur every month on the 8th regardless of the length of the month, but problematic if you are trying to figure out the number of days in the last 3.5 months. Keep it in mind!
The DATE datatype, however, is simpler to deal with if less powerful.
Operations with DATEs
1. The difference between two DATES is always an INTEGER, representing the number of DAYS difference
You may add or subtract an INTEGER to a DATE to produce another DATE
Because the difference of two DATES is an INTEGER, this difference may be added, subtracted, divided, multiplied, or even modulo (%)
As with TIMESTAMP, you may NOT perform Addition, Multiplication, Division, or other operations with two DATES
DATE/INTEGER cannot figure out the varying lengths of months and years
Because DATE differences are always calculated as whole numbers of days, DATE/INTEGER cannot figure out the varying lengths of months and years. Thus, you cannot use DATE/INTEGER to schedule something for the 5th of every month without some very fancy length-of-month calculating on the fly. This makes DATE ideal for calendar applications involving a lot of calculating based on numbers of days (e.g. "For how many 14-day periods has employee "x" been employed?") but poor for actual calendaring apps. Keep it in mind.
I'm porting an app from MS SQL Server, and I need to support the DATEDIFF and DATEADD functions so that my stored views will work
Proceed to PostgreSQL TechDocs (http://techdocs.postgresql.org). There are many porting resources there, and I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already re-created these functions under PostgreSQL.
I need to display a DATE as text, or convert text into a DATE or INTERVAL
You want the to_date(), to_char(), and interval() functions.
What if I want to get the month as an integer out of a date?
You want the extract() function. This function also works to give you other numeric intervals from a timestamp, including the Unix system datetime (e.g. EXTRACT ( epoch from some_date ))

Playoff push sees familiar club atop Rankings
The season's final month is upon us. It's now or never for a handful of teams as they hope to make one last push to the postseason, and there's a host of interesting races throughout Major League Baseball.
Entering Tuesday:
The season's final month is upon us. It's now or never for a handful of teams as they hope to make one last push to the postseason, and there's a host of interesting races throughout Major League Baseball.
Entering Tuesday:
• The A's and Rangers are tied atop the American League West.
• The Pirates, Cardinals and Reds are separated by 3 1/2 games in the National League Central.
• Seven teams are within 4 1/2 games of the AL Wild Card, while the Nationals are hoping to make a late push in the NL.
Get your peanuts and Cracker Jack ready.
MLB.com has set up a panel of experts to vote on the top 15 teams each week. The group includes MLB.com vice president and executive editor Carlton Thompson, VP and executive producer Jim Jenks, columnists Mike Bauman, Hal Bodley, Anthony Castrovince, Richard Justice, Matthew Leach, Terence Moore and Tracy Ringolsby, reporters Barry M. Bloom, Marty Noble, Jesse Sanchez and Lyle Spencer, and MLB Network analyst Mitch Williams.
What do you think? Agree, disagree? Have your opinion counted by submitting your Power Rankings.
1. Dodgers: Los Angeles returns atop our list thanks to a weekend sweep of the Padres. The Dodgers got a bit of bad news Monday, when rookie sensation Yasiel Puig irritated a right knee strain. The injury doesn't seem serious, and the Dodgers certainly have enough depth to cover for him short term..
Last week: 3
2. Tigers: Detroit continued its season-long dominance of Cleveland by taking two of three against its AL Central rival this weekend. The Tigers rode the momentum into this week, beating the Red Sox on Monday in the opener of a key three-game series. Triple Crown hopeful Miguel Cabrera has missed time with an abdominal strain, but could return Wednesday. Detroit also promoted top prospect Nick Castellanos to add offensive punch.
Last week: 1
3. Red Sox: Boston has the best record in the AL but finds itself behind Detroit in our rankings. The Red Sox -- winners in seven of nine -- and Tigers continue a head-to-head battle for the AL's top seed this week before the Sox open a four-game series Thursday in the Bronx.
Last week: 2
4. Braves: They kind of seem to fly under the national radar, don't they? The Braves don't have Puig, Cabrera or vaunted arms such as Clayton Kershaw or Max Scherzer, but they'll gladly take the honor of holding the best record in the Majors. Atlanta enters Tuesday winners in seven of eight, and the Braves' upcoming schedule includes the remainder of their series against the Mets and trips to Philadelphia and Miami before hosting the Padres. Chances are high Atlanta will hold onto the Majors' best record and move up next week.
Last week: 4
5. Pirates: Congrats to the Bucs on being just one win away from locking up their first .500 season in 21 years. Now it's time to focus on holding onto the top spot in the NL Central, which Pittsburgh leads by a game. The Pirates travel to second-place St. Louis on Friday for a weekend series that will have the entire baseball world tuning in.
Last week: 8
6. A's: Oakland enters Tuesday deadlocked with the Rangers atop the AL West after beating Texas on Monday. The A's are 8-3 through 11 games of a 13-game stretch in which they play the Orioles, Tigers, Rays and Rangers. Taking at least one more against the Rangers would be key before they look to take care of business against the Astros and Twins.
Last week: 10
7. Cardinals: They lost their weekend series against the Pirates but need to focus on the Reds -- 2 1/2 games back -- this week before welcoming the Bucs to Busch Stadium. That three-game series marks the final time in 2013 that St. Louis and Pittsburgh square off.
Last week: 5
8. Rangers: Texas has lost three of four, but the Rangers still find themselves tied for first place with the A's out West. The two clubs continue their three-games series Tuesday and Wednesday before squaring off again next weekend. Texas got an added punch on Monday when veteran Lance Berkman returned to the lineup for the first time since July 7.
Last week: 6
9. Reds: Cincinnati enters Tuesday 3 1/2 games out of first place in the NL Central, but with a comfortable seven-game lead for the second Wild Card. The Reds added an element of speed for September by calling up Billy Hamilton, who last season set the professional record for steals with 155. Cincy faces a rough road this week, with three more against the Cardinals and a three-game series against the Dodgers.
Last week: 9
10. Rays: A five-game losing streak -- including getting swept by the A's -- dropped the Rays from seventh to 10th in our rankings. They still hold a two-game edge for the second Wild Card and hope Matt Moore's return on Tuesday can light a spark and turn around their skid.
Last week: 7
11. Orioles: Baltimore is in prime position this week to make a move in the Wild Card race. The O's are two games back of the struggling Rays, while holding a half-game lead over the Yankees and a 1 1/2-game edge over the Indians, who they face two more times this week. A four-game weekend series with the last-place White Sox should add some wins before another four-game series against the Yanks.
Last week: 12
12. Yankees: Alfonso Soriano and the Yanks sputtered a bit last week, dropping a series to the Blue Jays, but they have another two games against the last-place White Sox and a four-game series against the Red Sox this week. The next 10 games are pivotal for the Bronx Bombers, who sit 2 1/2 games back of the second Wild Card.
Last week: 13
13. Royals: Kansas City isn't completely out of the Wild Card race -- 4 1/2 games back -- but the Royals will have to finish strong for a chance at a postseason berth. After finishing their series with the Mariners, the Royals play the Tigers and Indians in their next 12 games. It's a boom-or-best stretch for Kansas City.
14. Indians: If only they could beat the Tigers. Like, just once. OK, the Tribe has beaten Detroit four times this season … in 19 tries. The Indians' chances at a division title are all but gone (8 1/2 back), but they're still just 3 1/2 out of the second Wild Card and certainly in contention.
Last week: 11
15. Nationals: The Nats continue to make a late push, and while insisting they're not out of it -- how could they? -- a 7 1/2-game deficit for the second NL Wild Card spot will be tough to overcome. Then again, crazier things have happened in September, and Washington certainly has the talent to make a run.
Last week: 15

The Amazing Races Hayden Kristianson and Aaron Crumbaugh were thrilled to learn from an ultrasound that they were going to have a girl when Hayden was 20 weeks pregnant. But their excitement turned to fear when the test also revealed that their daughter had a dangerous birth defect. I cried for three weeks straight, Hayden tells In Touch, as she and Aaron open up about a parents worst nightmare. Doctors diagnosed the baby with gastroschisis a potentially deadly birth defect that affects one in 5,000 babies. Her abdomen had an opening in it which caused some of her intestines to remain outside of her body, explains Hayden. It was very scary.As soon as Kaiya Rachel was born on December 7, she was whisked away to a stabilization room where a neonatologist was waiting. Aaron and I didnt even get to see her, says Hayden about their 6-pound, 5-ounce bundle of joy. But as soon as we heard her little cry, we knew she was going to be okay. But Hayden still had to wait three more days to meet her daughter. She needed to be transported to Childrens Memorial Hospital, says Hayden. Kaiya had about two feet of intestines and a little bit of her colon outside of her body, adds model/chef Aaron. Twenty-four days later on New Years Eve their baby girl was finally released from the hospital. I cant even begin to describe the joy we felt bringing her home. We realize how blessed we are, says Hayden.
This almost made me teary-eyed, which is funny because I never really liked them that much during the race. Congratulations to the both of them, though.

A body was found Saturday near where an oil platform exploded off the Grand Isle coast Friday, but U.S. Coast Guard officials said no identification had been verified.
A body was found Saturday near where an oil platform exploded off the Grand Isle coast Friday, but U.S. Coast Guard officials said no identification had been verified.
The Coast Guard called of its search for two workers missing from the platform about 5:45 p.m. Saturday but later confirmed platform owner Black Elk Energy's contracted dive team discovered the body.
The Coast Guard said it searched about 1,400 square miles around the platform through Friday night and into Saturday using helicopters, airplanes and 87-foot cutter ships.
Friday's explosion on the platform, located about 25 miles southeast of Grand Isle, also sent 11 people to the hospital, including four with what was reported to be second- and third-degree burns over much of their bodies.
Only those four crew members remained in the hospital Saturday, according to a news release from Houston-based Black Elk Energy.
The burns were less severe than originally reported, a Black Elk spokeswoman told The Associated Press.
Workers with less serious injuries were treated at and released from several local hospitals, including Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma and Our Lady of the Sea in Galliano.
Nine other crew members evacuated unharmed, and four left the platform before the explosion.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is investigating the cause of the incident.
Of the 22 workers involved in the explosion, 14 worked for Grand Isle Shipyards, a Louisiana-based company headquartered in Galliano.
Spokesmen for both the Coast Guard and Grand Isle Shipyards said they couldn't release the names of the missing or injured workers, so it's not yet known if any of them come from in or around Lafourche or Terrebonne parishes.
Coast Guard Capt. Ed Cubanski said the workers triggered the explosion while using a cutting torch on a 75-foot pipe.
The platform was "shut in" for maintenance and was not producing oil at the time of the explosion, but about 28 gallons of oil seeped out of the pipe.
Coast Guard crews reported a sheen of oil about a half-mile long and 200 yards wide near the site.
Still, experts told The Associated Press that it was unlikely the explosion would cause a major spill like the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010 since the well was not producing.
The well is also much closer to shore and in waters only 56 feet deep, which experts say would make any spill much easier to contain.
The explosion came one day after BP plead guilty to several criminal charges tied to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Local oilfield workers operating near the platform Friday said the explosion threw up a spectacular plume of smoke.
"We were heading into Grand Isle and heard the mayday, so we turned around," said Brett Rodrigue of Houma, who is a deckhand on a platform-servicing vessel in the Gulf. "The first thing we saw was that big ole plume of smoke."

Msakni strike lights up Rustenburg night
Youssef Msakni scored a brilliant last-gasp winner for Tunisia to give them a Group D victory over Algeria in Rustenburg.
Msakni lit up an otherwise tight affair with a touch of class just as the game entered four minutes of injury time, curling home an unstoppable 25-yard effort into the top corner.
It was a goal that shone in a game that didn't live up to the potential of a North African derby, but Tunisia will not be complaining after joining Côte d'Ivoire at the top of the group following the latter's 2-1 win over Togo earlier today.
Tunisia's hopes suffered an early blow when Issam Jemaa was forced off after just 16 minutes with an injury suffered in a tussle for the ball with Essaid Belkalem, with Hamdi Harbaoui coming on.
Algeria came closest to breaking the deadlock on 28 minutes when Sofiane Feghouli's cross found Islam Silmani in the area, but his header came back off the bar with goalkeeper Moez Ben Cherifia a mere spectator.
Tunisia's best chance came on a counter attack in the 42nd-minute, but after advancing into the area Saber Khelifa opted to shoot from a narrowing angle and goalkeeper Rais M'Bolhi made a routine save at his near post.
The second half was fractionally better than the first, with Djamel Mesbah flashing a 25-yard shot just wide on 56 minutes and team-mate Adlene Guedioura firing just over the bar from similar range with 20 minutes remaining.
Tunisia had a good chance when substitutes Oussama Darragi and Harbaoui combined neatly, but Harbaoui struck a left-footed shot just wide of the upright. A sixth draw in eight games in the tournament so far looked certain, but Msakni had other ideas after cutting in from the left and leaving M'Bolhi with no chance with a curling shot right into the top corner.

Terry P: Yesterday you wrote quite negatively about Jose Reyes. What do you suddenly have against him? He's a rare talent, and should never be traded.
Matthew Cerrone: I have nothing against Reyes, but I do have questions about his game – and I'm not sure why that's a bad thing.
Personally, I think the Mets would be crazy to trade Reyes, and I hope they're not considering it, because a) he has yet to realize his full potential, and b) he has less value today, since he's missed most of this season with an injury.
To be honest, the bitter tone in my post from yesterday, here, was probably the result of me being frustrated with this overall season, while missing Jose's energy and attitude on the field… frankly, the Mets don't feel the same and are far less entertaining without him.
That said, I do have questions about his game. I feel pretty confident about how David Wright will perform next season, despite his drop-off in power this year, but I find I still wonder about Jose.
For instance, I know Jose is fast, but I still have questions about his plate discipline and his decisions on the base paths. I know he has a tremendous arm, but he seems to be regressing with his glove. I love his on-field energy, but I wonder about his focus.
Remember, even in 2006, which I feel was his best season to date, he was only hitting .250 in early June.
Here's the thing, Jose's current level of play and stats are fine… but, I can't help but imagine him one day taking over like Rickey Henderson, which I realize may be unfair because Rickey is one of the greatest players of all time. Nevertheless, I still wish for that level of dominance from Reyes.
In other words, while I am comfortable with what Wright has become, I expect more of Reyes, because I believe he's capable of so much more than Wright, and I wonder if or when he'll rise to and stay at that next level.
Jim W: This perception of Reyes drives me crazy – he is already great… This mystical 'other level,' Reyes has already reached it… It is an unrealistic standard… even a fantasy.
Matthew Cerrone: It's a fair point. For instance, he's always the top ranked SS in Fantasy Baseball, yet I don't feel he's worthy of it. Of course, I drafted him first in my league. So, what does that say?
Actually, I think it says I have unrealistic expectations.
