It has been a season filled with contrasts for many farmers in the lower Southeast this year, with extremely dry conditions at planting and plenty of rainfall in July, only to be followed by more drought conditions as the year progressed.
Drought continued to intensify in the region during August, as Hurricane Irene bypassed states that needed rain the most.
These growing conditions made it easy to distinguish between the "haves" and the "have-nots" of irrigation during the Central Alabama Crops Tour held in mid-August.
Robert Walters, who grows peanuts and cotton in the area, says the only thing he hasn't liked about his irrigation scheduler this year is that it hasn't told him "no."
"Our irrigation water comes out of a lake, and we use IrrigatorPro for scheduling irrigation. There were times when it didn't appear as if it needed watering, but it was running out below the surface.
"If rain didn't give us at least 6/10-inch, I'd just keep the irrigation running. We try to run it in the evening, from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m.," he says.
Walters also uses the irrigation scheduler for his cotton, which yielded almost 1,000 pounds per acre in last year's drought conditions. "We put irrigation out for a reason — it's not to hang Christmas lights on," he says.
Alabama peanut producers with irrigation certainly have benefited this year, says Kris Balkcom, Auburn University Extension peanut specialist.
"Peanuts only grow vines until they are about 100 days old, and then they start slowing down. If we've got the water, we need to go ahead and close in that canopy and keep back the weeds.
"It's important to keep the soil cool. IrrigatorPro has been proven to make the highest peanut yields when using it to schedule irrigation," he says.
It's important in a dry year, says Balkcom, to get peanuts off to a good start.
"After a one-inch rain, when the environmental conditions have changed and it's cooled off, come back the next day and put out another inch. Make those peanuts good and wet in the soil profile. Then you can maintain them on a weekly basis throughout the remainder of the season," he says.
While U.S. peanut acreage is down this year — down 10 percent in Alabama — pricing opportunities appear promising, he says. "Peanuts that were not contracted last year that went into the loan are being brought out at $750 to $800, so that gives a little more incentive for growing peanuts," says Balkcom.
Austin Hagan, Auburn University Extension plant pathologist, says his state's peanut producers have been spared the worst of disease problems this year.
Little leaf spot
"Because of weather patterns, we haven't seen much leaf spot. We have seen some white mold in south Alabama, but there isn't any tomato spotted wilt virus out there. It has pretty much dropped off the map in Alabama in the last three to four years," he says.
Normally, cotton producers don't see many foliar disease problems, but that could be changing, said Hagan during the central Alabama tour.
"Over the last few years, there have been issues with potash-related leaf spot diseases in cotton. There have been fungicide trials to try and manage that issue. Basically, if you bring up the potash level, you generally won't have a problem with leaf spot," he says.
However, corynespora leaf spot disease has been a problem in Georgia for the past three or four years, particularly in irrigated, no-till cotton, when cotton follows cotton, he says.
"It's hard to judge how much yield loss might be occurring. But if leaves fall off where squares or bolls are developing, the boll won't get any larger. It does appear this disease may be an issue.
"We have received samples with moderate to high levels of leaf spot. It has particularly been an issue in Baldwin and Mobile counties, where in isolated fields we've already seen 25- percent leaf loss on plants with four or five bolls," says Hagan.
With dryland cotton, this disease probably won't be an issue. "One of the problems is that there virtually has been no work done on this disease, other than demonstration plots in southwest Georgia. We're trying to develop a profile on the disease so we can do some work on it next year," he says.
Assessing the cotton insect situation in Alabama this year, AU Extension Entomologist Ron Smith says cotton planted from about April 15 to May 15 saw tremendous thrips pressure. It was due mainly to the drying down of wild host plants around the field, along with wheat.
With the loss of Temik still a possibility, he says, early season insect programs will have to be refined.
"As far as plant bugs, nothing happened because dry vegetation around fields couldn't support a plant bug population," says Smith.
"But around June 23, we started picking up adult plant bugs in central Alabama. We had a big influx of adult plant bugs in a very short window. I thought we'd see the offspring of those about three weeks later, but it never materialized, and we haven't seen them since. The heat might have been too much for the immature plant bugs."
Bollworm numbers low
Bollworm numbers have been extremely low throughout the summer, he says.
Aphids, says Smith, have not amounted to much in 2011. "They are slow to build and slow to crash. We sprayed some cotton because they peaked in late July, and we didn't need any more stress on the cotton."
Stinkbugs are by far the most dominant economic insect pest of cotton in the Southeast, he says. "This is the lightest year for stinkbugs since we got Bollgard cotton. But it emphasizes the importance of a scout, even though it's almost a single-pest system in the Bollgard cotton."
Resistant pigweed continues to be the dominant weed problem for cotton producers in the Southeast, says AU Extension Weed Scientist Mike Patterson.
"On the conservative side, you'll probably spend another $40 per acre once you have this weed in your field. We've been working with resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed for five or six years now. Last summer, about 24 counties in Alabama reported having resistant Palmer pigweed," he says.
Growers who successfully manage resistant pigweed are frontloading with a soil-residual herbicide from burndown all the way through layby, says Patterson.
"But they still have escapes, even after they've spent about $60 per acre to manage this one weed. Hand labor sometimes is still required. For the foreseeable future, that's what you'll have to deal with. You'll have to use residual herbicides up front, and it'll probably cost you at least another $30 per acre to use those herbicides.
"You might have to run a hooded sprayer, applying Gramoxone, in those middles, on the escaped weeds. You may even have to go with something like LibertyLink cotton in the future where we can use Ignite herbicide," he says.
There's hope in the future, says Patterson, but it's still a few years away. "Dow and Monsanto both have genetic technology allowing you to spray over-the-top herbicides that normally are very toxic to cotton.
"Dow has 2,4-D tolerance and Monsanto has resistance to dicamba, Roundup and Ignite. But it'll be three or four years from now before we'll see the commercialization of those varieties. For the time being, you have to stay ahead of resistant Palmer amaranth."

FIFA provisionally bans American Chuck Blazer
ZURICH (AP) — FIFA provisionally banned outgoing executive committee member Chuck Blazer of the United States from all football-related activities for 90 days on Monday after he was accused of embezzling at least $21 million last month.
Blazer had previously said he'll be giving up his seat on FIFA's ruling board when his term expires this month, and was accused of having enriched himself through fraud in a report released in April by CONCACAF, the governing body for North and Central American and Caribbean football. Blazer is a former secretary general of CONCACAF and was accused of embezzling at least $21 million by compensating himself with the body's funds without any authorization. Blazer, the most senior American official at FIFA for 16 years, also allegedly bought some apartments with CONCACAF money. He resigned as CONCACAF's secretary general in December 2011
FIFA said in a statement Monday that its ethics committee decided to provisionally ban Blazer "based on the fact that various breaches of the FIFA Code of Ethics appear to have been committed by" the American.
Blazer has not commented on the ethics allegations.
The American was the whistle-blower in a bribery scandal involving his former boss at CONCACAF, Jack Warner, who resigned as the body's president in June 2011 after Blazer accused him and then-Asian confederation head Mohamed bin Hammam of attempting to bribe Caribbean delegates $40,000 each to vote for bin Hammam in the FIFA presidential election.

Blues go for season sweep of Blue Jacketsby John McGourty
BLUES (23-14-2) at BLUE JACKETS (17-16-7)
Last 10: St. Louis 7-3-0, Columbus 5-4-1
Season series: The St. Louis Blues are going for a sweep of the four-game series, having allowed just one goal in each of their three victories -- including a 3-1 win last Friday.
Big story: The Blues have taken defense to a new level by shutting out their last three opponents, all on the road, including a 2-0 victory against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday that moved them into sixth place in the Western Conference playoff race. The Columbus Blue Jackets have had two days off to enjoy one of their best efforts of the season -- a 4-0 victory against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. A victory against the Blues is almost a must if the Blue Jackets hope to make the playoffs -- they enter the night three points behind the eighth-place Detroit Red Wings and play only one more game at Nationwide Arena, where they are 12-5-5, as opposed to a 5-11-2 record on the road.
Team Scope:
Blues: Not long ago, Brian Elliott looked he would have had trouble stopping a beach ball. These days, opponents would be lucky to get a marble past him. Elliott has rebounded from his early-season struggles with three consecutive shutouts, including the win at Minnesota on Thursday.
"He's been a battler for us," captain David Backes said. "[He] lays it on the line and has worked his butt off to get back into the shape he's in, as far as having that confidence, and knowing that every time he's in the net, we're going to have a great performance."
Blue Jackets: Regardless of whether their late surge carries them into the playoffs, the Blue Jackets look like a team on the rise. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has emerged as a No. 1 goaltender and the acquisition of Marian Gaborik from the New York Rangers on April 3 has given Columbus the sniper it lacked.
"It's great for our young players to be playing big games like this because it is at a different speed, a different intensity," coach Todd Richards said. "To have to play at these levels, to play against these elite teams, is a great teaching experience."
Who's hot: Elliott, who will get the night off in favor of rookie Jake Allen, has not allowed a goal in 189:31. … Gaborik has two goals and five points in four games with his new club.
Injury report: The Blues are still without goaltender Jaroslav Halak (groin) and forward T.J. Oshie (ankle). Forward Jamie Langenbrunner (hip surgery) is out for the season. … Columbus expects to have forwards Brandon Dubinsky (illness) and Jared Boll (upper body) available after they sat out Tuesday night.

The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
As a daily reader of this fine blog and a fan of all who contribute in any way, shape or form, I have been pondering a few general thoughts based on some of the comments that I have read on many of the recent posts. Whether I will be able to accurately articulate my exact thoughts, remains to be seen…..but here it goes:
Quick question…..How many active Dallas Cowboys have been arrested and charged or convicted of a crime in the last 3 years, or even 5 years?? I am talking about players getting in trouble WHILE on the Cowboys roster. This is not a trick question, because I personally can't think of any. Please feel free to enlighten me. There seems to be some type of conspiracy theory about the team and it's "troublemakers", and I am sure it is ALL because we signed Pac Man, or maybe it's because Michael Irvin got in trouble 12 years ago. To me, it doesn't really make alot of sense.
I read and hear many people say we don't need any players unless they have a perfect history or have never had any scrapes with the law, and I have to ask WHY? These men are not our political leaders, our school teachers or any type of religous leaders. They are football players. The main qualifications for the job are to be really strong and really fast.
Don't get me wrong, the laws and rules of society should be applied to all in sports and life and yes, they are role models to kids, and yes, maybe it is hard for me and you to understand why some profesional athletes make the decisions they do, but they are not perfect, and very human. In my opinion, if a player or players make mistakes, they should pay for their crimes within the court system and then within the NFL player conduct system, but after that should we ban them for life? Should they never be given a second or even a third chance??
If you say that, No, they do not deserve other chances, then I would ask you Why? Is it because you and I do not make the millions or drive the cars, is it jealousy? Or is it an even darker issue at hand? Just something to ponder. And as far as the Cowboys go, last I checked we had a majority of our roster made up of very good guys, from Witten to Demarcus, and even all of the young guys like Deon Anderson (who without a second chance in college would not be in the NFL right now) and Sam Hurd. I just don't understand why the Cowboys get slapped with the generic "made of bad guys, with no character" tag so often. We are definitely not the Cincinatti Bengals.
It's been cancelled. It's over. He is gone. It really doesn't matter anymore if you and I agree with it, like it, dislike it, can't decide about it; because it's done. Time to move forward. I hate to even bring this up, because of all the over-sensitive T.O. fans out there, but at the end of the day, he was a great player for us for 3 seasons, and great personality who provided alot of entertainment and, in my opinion, actually a good guy who got a pretty bad rap from the media and the average fan-on-the-street, but NOT a Cowboys legend by any stretch of the imagination. He will not be in the Ring of Honor, there will be no statues of him at the new stadium and no freeways named in his honor. He does rank up at the top of the NFL all-time recieving records, but he did most of his damage with the San Francisco 49ers. Did you hear that?? The 49ers! One of our all-time arch rivals! So, one last time….Goodbye T.O., thanks for the memories.
This last thought is probably the most delicate, because I normally like to deal in facts, instead of "faith" or opinion….but, to me, there is just way too much negativity among the Cowboys nation! It is hard, due to the terrible end of the season last year culminating in the train wreck that was the Philly game, but where is the faith? The support? The optimism?
I am glad I live here in the metroplex and am able to follow the team in the local media, because sometimes it seems that some people are trying to convince me that we don't have any able-bodied football players on this team, and we have a "general manager" that doesn't even know how many yards long a football field is (it's 100, Jerry). We went 9-7, and missed the playoffs, a very dissapointing season, yes, who can even begin to argue that but this is not Detroit or Oakland, and this is not even Green Bay or Denver.
We have a nucleus of players in place, on both offense and defense, that rank right at the top of the NFL. Do we have every little nickelback or 3rd receiver position covered perfectly and ideally? Well, no, but name me a team that does? The great and even quality players in the NFL don't just grow on trees, unfortunately.
I will put my faith and my support behind Romo, Witten, Barber, Ware, Ratliff, Newman and the rest, and hope that we get a few breaks that all teams need and get to where we all want to go, to the Superbowl. It's not going to be easy this year, next year or any year ever, but that's football, that's sport, that's competition.
So, there you have it. Just a few random thoughts from TD….. you can love me or hate me, agree or disagree, that's what it's all about here! All I know is that it is a thin line, a razor thin line, between LOVE and HATE. Which side of the line are you on??

Jennifer Aniston: Norman Tattoo to Pay Homage to Him Forever
Jennifer Aniston steps out on a sunny Monday (June 27) in New York City.
The 42-year-old Horrible Bosses actress paired a black vest and a dark tank and blue jeans for her day out on the town.
Jennifer recently chatted with ET Canada about her new foot tattoo in memory of her beloved dog, Norman.
"My baby who just passed away….I never thought that would ever happen, it's just my way to pay homage to him…forever," she said. Norman passed away in May at the age of 15.

California Pizza Kitchen opens new prototype unit
California Pizza Kitchen opened a unit of its new prototype Wednesday in a Canoga Park, Calif., mall, part of the casual-dining chain's continuing evolution.
The Westfield Topanga Mall restaurant features a new design that aims for a relaxed atmosphere and features a prominent bar area and updated menu.
The new location marks a step forward for the once-struggling casual-dining chain, which went private in 2011 after an acquisition by private-equity firm Golden Gate Capital for $470 million.
The new unit is actually a relocation. CPK had a unit for 20 years outside a part of the mall that is under redevelopment. Rather than close and wait to go into a lifestyle center planned by Westfield next door, California Pizza Kitchen Inc. chief executive G. J. Hart said the company decided to experiment with the new look inside the mall in a sunlit atrium near a busy Apple store.
"Typically Apple stores generate a lot of traffic, and that's our kind of guest profile, so it seems to make sense," said Hart.
The new design debuted in December 2012 at a new flagship location in Sunrise, Fla., at the Sawgrass Mills mall. Hart said that unit has surpassed initial highs. "We're very, very happy with it," said Hart. "Sales are trending higher than our average unit volumes, even considering the typical honeymoon curve."
Though CPK is still tweaking elements of the new look, Hart said the company is moving forward with a remodeling plan to bring the fresh design to existing restaurants. About 13 restaurants will be remodeled this year, and Hart said slow growth is planned for the 270-unit chain, likely starting in 2014 with "a handful" of new units.
Like many casual-dining brands, CPK was hit hard during the recession, partly because about 70 percent of its restaurants are located in and around malls, which saw shopping traffic dramatically decline. Going forward, Hart said CPK will look for a mix of locations between malls, lifestyle centers and some freestanding restaurants.
The new restaurant is about 5,400 square feet, which is typical for the chain. Hart said down the road the chain will look at developing smaller 4,000- to 5,000-square-foot restaurants that could open up more real estate options.
"We haven't historically gone into what I would call second-tier markets. We're typically in big urban markets," he said. "But we may go into those second-tier markets and give it a shot with a smaller box. That's yet to be determined."

Owned and operated by chef-pastry chef, husband-wife team Ian and June McPhee, McPhee's Grill has been the top steakhouse and restaurant of choice in Templeton, California and the greater North San Luis Obispo County, CA area since 1994. The perfect complement to the surrounding world-class wine country in Paso Robles, Templeton and Atascadero, McPhee's Grill offers fine wine and fine dining, with a seasonal menu that showcases the bounty of fresh, local produce, meat and fish grown, raised and caught on the fertile Central Coast.
A graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Chef Ian McPhee lives and breathes cooking. He began his career at the Cigar Factory Restaurant, DW Grovers in Grover Beach and Joshua's in Paso Robles, before opening his first restaurant, Ian's Restaurant, in Cambria, which he helmed from 1983 to 1993.
In 1994, McPhee seized the opportunity to open the first fine dining establishment in the heart of what was by then quickly becoming the world's next Napa. Utilizing the freshest, local ingredients, the self-taught cook and restaurateur aimed to build a kitchen that would be known for its innovative, exquisite meals, and a dining room with a reputation for superior service.
On these two cornerstones—great food and great service—McPhee's Grill has thrived. Widely cited as one of the best restaurants in the Central Coast in general, the Templeton eatery was named in the "The West's best unsung BBQ town" feature article in Sunset Magazine's August 2013 issue. "Go at dinnertime, when the pit's lit, for red oak–grilled artichokes and steaks. You can't miss with the rib-eye, which comes with three homemade salsas as well as jalapeño-cheese mashed potatoes and roasted poblano chiles stuffed with goat cheese." – Sunset Magazine, August 2013
Little touches like the complimentary appetizer plate (homemade pickled onions, carrots, olives and pepperoncinis) starts guests out on the right foot, while spectacular wine paired with fine dining dishes like the 2-bone, double-cut, brown sugar-cured pork chops and macadamia crusted fresh, locally-caught fish (seasonal menu) make a meal at McPhee's steakhouse one to remember forever.

Top Cars
New Hybrid SUVs Available Today
It's no surprise that many drivers want to combine the benefits of a hybrid car with the practicality of an SUV. But today, only a few hybrid SUVs are available -- and not all are well known. To help shoppers find a hybrid SUV, we've listed each model on sale now along with some information to help drivers choose the best one for their needs.
Audi Q5 Hybrid - $51,795
A hybrid drivetrain was added to the Audi Q5 range for 2013. Called the Q5 Hybrid, the new model uses a 245-horsepower 2.0-liter hybrid 4-cylinder. As in many hybrids, torque is strong -- it's rated at 354 lb-ft. And, as expected, gas mileage is exemplary. Fuel numbers are rated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as high as 24 miles per gallon city and 30 mpg in highway driving. While it's a few thousand dollars more expensive than the popular RX 450h, the Q5 Hybrid could serve as the SUV's best challenge yet.
Cadillac Escalade Hybrid - $74,845
Although it's not a common sight on the road, the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid has been offered since 2009. It's pricey, with a base manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) close to $75,000. That makes it about $10,000 more than a standard V8-powered Escalade. But the Hybrid helps justify the premium by adding equipment beyond its powertrain. Such upscale features include heated rear seats, a power sunroof, a rear seat DVD player and air suspension. Of course, the engine isn't bad either: At 332 hp, it still offers similar performance to the 403-hp gas-powered Escalade. But it gets up to 20 mpg city/23 mpg hwy -- a boost of 5 highway mpg and a tremendous 7 mpg in town.
Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid / GMC Yukon Hybrid - $52,965
We applaud General Motors for taking the leap and adding a hybrid drivetrain to its full-size Tahoe and Yukon SUVs. While some shoppers don't think the Tahoe's hybrid power offers much benefit, we beg to differ. At 20 mpg city, the Tahoe Hybrid boasts the best mileage in class. It's also a 5-mpg benefit over the standard Tahoe -- a number that works out to more than 30 percent. And shoppers get the added fuel economy without losing engine power. That's because the Tahoe and Yukon Hybrid use a 6.0-liter hybrid V8 that produces 332 hp -- 12 more than the gas engine. Looking for more luxury? Check out the mechanically similar Cadillac Escalade Hybrid.
Lexus RX 450h - $47,185
The midsize Lexus RX 450h shares a platform and engine with the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. And while the Lexus model's $7,000 premium may seem high, several factors help justify the price. One is fuel economy: The Lexus ekes out 30 mpg city to the Highlander's 28. It also boasts 15 more hp for 295 total. But most importantly, the Lexus carries a premium badge and with it premium equipment. Standard features include keyless push-button starting, automatic headlights and dual-zone automatic climate control. And a $2,400 premium package included on most RX models adds a power tailgate, leather upholstery, a sunroof and seat memory to that list.
Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid - $69,975
While Porsche is better known for high-dollar sports cars than high-mpg SUVs, the Cayenne S Hybrid offers something of a compromise. On the road, it's sporty: The handling is car-like and acceleration is superb, even for a Porsche. But thanks to a hybrid drivetrain shared with the Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, the Cayenne S Hybrid also offers strong fuel economy. Despite a whopping 380 hp and 427 lb-ft, the Cayenne S Hybrid still returns 21 mpg city/25 mpg highway. That's far better than even the base-level Cayenne Tiptronic, which returns 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway. Perhaps its only competitor is Porsche's own Cayenne Diesel, which offers similar city fuel economy but an impressive 28 mpg highway for a base price of around $57,000.
Toyota Highlander Hybrid - $41,015
The midsize Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the least expensive among today's crop of hybrid SUVs. It's also among the most efficient, in part thanks to its relatively small size. Of course, its powerplant plays a role too: It uses the same 280-hp 3.5-liter V6 as the Lexus RX 450h. In the Highlander, that's good for 28 mpg city/28 mpg highway. For its $41,015 base price with shipping, the Highlander offers a long list of features, such as dual power front seats, Bluetooth, a rearview camera and standard all-wheel drive. But for a few thousand dollars more, shoppers can have the Lexus -- a choice many prefer due to its premium badge.
Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid - $62,925
The pricey Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid shares its mechanics with the Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, which costs only $7,000 more. Like the Cayenne, the Touareg Hybrid uses a 380-hp supercharged V6 that boasts 428 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is 20 mpg city/24 mpg highway with the standard 8-speed automatic transmission. Like the Cayenne, the Touareg also faces stiff competition from its own diesel model, the Touareg TDI, which starts below $55,000. While the Touareg TDI only offers 225 hp, it does boast the Touareg's best gas mileage figure, netting up to 28 mpg on the highway.

Christina Aguilera & Matthew Rutler: Osteria Mozza Mates
Christina Aguilera and boyfriend Matthew Rutler leave Osteria Mozza on Friday (March 4) in Los Angeles.
The couple reportedly dined until 1 a.m. and then headed home in a chauffeured car.
Earlier in the week, the 30-year-old singer and Matt, 25, had dinner at the same Italian restaurant just before they were both pulled over by the police.
Christina was arrested for public intoxication, while Matt was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence.
On Thursday, Christina got back to work and was spotted leaving Smashbox Studios in Hollywood.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – First year co-head coaches Tony Giro and Amy Appelt opened their tenures at the helm of UMBC women's lacrosse with a 15-12 victory over American on Saturday afternoon at Jacobs Field. Senior midfielder Lindsay Cox (High Bridge, N.J./Voorhees) and sophomore Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) tallied four goals apiece, while junior midfielder Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) registered the game-winner in the victory.
UMBC opens the season with a victory for the fourth time in the last five years, while American starts the season 0-2.
The Retrievers wasted no time, jumping on the board 28 seconds into the contest on a goal from sophomore attack Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) – assists by Sam Nolan (Fallston, Md./Fallston).
UMBC and American traded goals in the opening half, with neither team able gain more than a two goal advantage in the period. The Eagles scored three-straight to jump out in front 6-4 on a goal from Alex Lugovina – one of her four on the afternoon – with 11:50 remaining in the first stanza, but the Retrievers strung together a pair of scores, the first coming on a free position shot from junior attack Shannon Harkey (Purcellville, Va./Loudon Valley). Followed by Cox's second goal of the contest to knot up the game at six apiece.
AU's Kimberly Collins gave American the one goal advantage with 29 seconds to go in the first. Cox tried to retaliate after a won draw control from Wilson, but goalkeeper Teal Harrison made the stop. Harrison recorded all six of her saves in the first stanza.
The Retrievers opened the second with a pair of goals 31 seconds apart. Sophomroe attack Jordan Lyons (Peterborough, Ontario/St. Peter's Secondary) notched her first collegiate goal at the 28:10 mark, coming on a pass from Wilson. Senior defender Jamie Fahey (Baldwin, MD./Loch Raven) set up Bilney for her second score of 2013 to put UMBC on top 8-7.
Emily Maher tied the contest for the Eagles with her first of two goals on the afternoon with 26:46 remaining. Semones took advantage of UMBC being a man up and punched home her second goal of the contest to give the Retrievers the lead for good. The black and gold added to their advantage, scoring four of the next five goals in the contest, including the game-winner from Bilney, a free position shot with a man advantage.
UMBC held a 25-19 shot advantage in the contest. UMBC senior netminder Kendall Mason (Lloyd Harbor, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) earned the start for the Retrievers and made five stops in the game.
The Retrievers return to action on Saturday, Feb. 23 when they host California at 5 p.m. at the UMBC Stadium.

Trained by Wayne Catalano and ridden by Julien Leparoux, Stephanie's Kitten covered the mile on a Matt Winn Turf Course labeled as yielding in 1:37.94.
The victory was worth $173,654 and increased Stephanie's Kitten's earnings to $1,280,403 with a record of 11-6-0-3 that includes a victory in the 2011 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (GII) here.
Stephanie's Kitten is a 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Kitten's Joy out of the Catienus mare Unfold the Rose.
Frontside and Stopshoppingmaria led the field through fractions of :24.29 and :49.15 with Stephanie's Kitten at the back of the field of eight. Turning for home, Daisy Devine took over the lead briefly under James Graham.
Hungry Island, with Javier Castellano up, split horses to gain the lead at the eighth pole but was unable to hold off Stephanie's Kitten on the far outside in the final 100 yards.
Stephanie's Kitten returned $9.80, $4.40 and $3. Hungry Island returned $3.40 and $2.60 with Daisy Devine finishing 3 ½ lengths back and returning $2.80 to show.
It was two lengths further back to Channel Lady, who was followed in order by Karlovy Vary, Frontside, Drama Drama and Stopshoppingmaria.
Julien Leparoux, rider of Stephanie's Kitten, winner: "She closed very good, obviously. Wayne (Catalano) just told me to get out, make her comfortable because there was going to be a good pace for us today. And she finished the last quarter very good. I think the ground maybe is good for us today." How is the turf course currently? "It's getting very soft. But it's safe and it's good so it's going to be good racing. The winners will be the ones that like turf like that."
Wayne Catalano, trainer of Stephanie's Kitten, winner: "She loves the course. She's a very nice filly. It's a great opportunity to train a filly like this. You know, she won a good racetrack (in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in 2011 at Churchill). We didn't know how soft it was or what it was, but it looked like it was perfect. We've been there before on these kind of trips where we had long layoffs. … We've got a pretty good idea how to do it.''
Javier Castellano, rider of Hungry Island, runner-up: "I don't think the soft conditions hurt my chances. She handled it well and did the best she could. We were just second best today to a horse we were battling with from the eighth pole on."
James Graham, rider of Daisy Divine, third: "She didn't get to dictate the pace like we usually do. I don't think she needs to be on the lead but she ran a really game race like she always does. She shows up every time and she's an awesome filly."

Every single move you make online can, and often is, tracked by online marketers and advertising networks that gather and use the information for serving up targeted advertisements.
But the average American consumer is largely unaware that such tracking goes on, the extent to which it is happening or how exactly information is being used.
That's according to a new poll released this week by the Samuelson Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The survey of nearly 1,200 California adults studied consumer perceptions about online privacy and common advertising practices.
The survey results come as the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is holding a two-day meeting to address consumer protection issues raised by the online tracking of consumer activities for targeted advertising.
"Consumers still think that [online] privacy policies are representing that the Web site will not sell or use data in specific ways," said Chris Hoofnagle, one of the authors of the report and a senior staff attorney at the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. But "there is a disconnect between the business practices and consumer expectations."
Most consumers treat online privacy notices like the 'UL' labels on physical products, he said. "People think privacy notices mean certain default protections. Consumers don't understand that privacy policies are just notices. They don't guarantee any rights."
One example of that disconnect is that more than half -- about 55 percent -- of those surveyed falsely assumed that a company's privacy polices prohibited it from sharing their addresses and purchases with affiliated companies. Similarly, nearly four out of 10 online shoppers falsely believed that a company's privacy policy prohibits it from using information to analyze an individuals' activities online; in fact, this is a common practice. A similar number also assumed that an online privacy policy meant that a company they're doing business with wouldn't collect data on their online activities and combine it with other information to create a behavioral profile.
Still, when survey respondents were offered a clear explanation of an online advertising model, about 85 percent rejected the idea that a site they value and trust should be allowed to serve up click stream advertisements based on data from their visits to various other sites.
Compounding user ignorance is the fact that many companies say they respect a user's choice not to be tracked, yet still find ways of circumventing that commitment, Hoofnagle said. For instance, some Web sites that promise not to allow third-party tracking cookies to be installed on a user's system do so anyway in a roundabout fashion via so-called first-party sub-domain cookies, he said. Similarly, some companies install flash cookies to uniquely track users across sites, he said.

Kiflice, although called differently in the different countries, are a very Balkan breakfast. They were chosen by Maja from Cooks and Bakes as this month's Fresh from the Oven challenge. Maja is a Serbian, i.e. she is a neighbour of ours.
After having Chelsea buns, which are a typical British breakfast, last month, it was interesting to see a typical Balkan one.
I always tend to overfill those rolls so there is always some leakage but I love them with extra cheese and can't restrain myself of overstuffing them. Here for the filling I used white brine cheese mixed with savory and a spoon of yoghurt as the cheese was a little bit hard.
I mixed the dough late in the evening and made the rolls the next morning for breakfast.
Overall, I found the dough recipe very very good and the baking with the additional butter makes the rolls crispy and crunchy.
Come and check out the Fresh from the Oven site to see how everybody did it.
Kiflice Recipe:
Makes 40 mini cheese rolls.
For the Dough:
- 500 g all purpose flour;
- 10 gr salt;
- 20 gr fresh yeast (2 tsp instant yeast or 2.5 tsp active dry yeast);
- 1 tsp sugar;
- 250 ml milk;
- 75 ml sunflower oil(or any other neutral vegetable oil);
- 1 egg;
- 200-250 g cottage cheese (you may use feta or other fresh cheese);
- 1 egg white (optional).
- 1 egg yolk;
- 1 Tbsp milk;
- 100 g butter.
Sift the flour, add salt. Add activated yeast, egg, oil and milk, then combine using a wooden spoon to get smooth dough. The dough seems like too soft and too sticky at the beginning, but don't worry, continue with kneading, and soon your dough should start to separate from the bowl, and thicken. It is not necessary to knead the dough by hands, the wooden spoon works just fine. Grease the cling film with oil, cover the bowl, and set aside for at least an hour, at lukewarm place, to let the dough doubles in size.
Crush the cheese using a fork. Add some salt if it tastes neutral. Stir the egg white in, if the cheese is too crumbly. Filling shouldn't be runny, but thick and compact, thicker than the cream cheese.
Re-knead the dough, divide into 5 equal parts, shape them into balls. Each part should make 8 rolls, so you'll end up with 40 rolls, which should perfectly fit the regular oven pan, if lined in 5x8 order. Flatten each ball by hands over the floury working surface, then use a rolling pin to roll the dough out in a circle, a few millimetres thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 triangles. Take one triangle, stretch it in the air with your hands, to get it extended as much as you can, gently. Put some filling at the triangle base, then fold the edges of the base(look at Maja's blog for more instructions), to avoid the filling leak out during baking. Roll. Arrange the rolls at the pan (5x8).
Lightly beat the egg yolk with a tablespoon of milk, then brush the top of each roll with the mixture. This is used to prevent forming thick crust, and to improve the colour of baked rolls. Sprinkle with some sesame seeds, if you like.
Arrange the small pieces of butter between the rolls, then bake in the oven preheated to 180°C for about 20 minutes.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Zach Mattson,
Have you ever made sausage? The steps that go into making it are gut wrenching to some, but the end product is delicious when properly made. The steps below have a strong resemblance to making sausage and the outcome was as good as any Uzinger's sold at a Brewer's game.
DisclaimerI came up with all the brilliant ideas expressed here, except the ones I stole from my coworkers and people who share their knowledge all over the web and in print. In case you have been hiding in a cave, or your company took away Internet for the past few years - checkout Jamie Thomson's old blog when he worked at Conchango - it's chock full of really good stuff.
The architecture needs to be explained first. As I wrote above, we support development, QA, and test on one SSIS server and production on another. However, this solution will work on more or less environments (I am thinking if you have a lot more, you either like to promote code, or you work for the government and are into job justification). We utilize domain accounts for the SSIS packages credentials. This allows us to keep from dealing with the password storage hassles/security risks and allows us to utilize a common setup across our application databases. The appropriate ETL account is setup on the same environment servers with access to an ETL "schema" so that any ETL work can use that schema. This keeps permissions simple and easy to manage. In addition, the ETL account allows us to use that account as a method to differentiate the SSIS_Configurations records for that particular environment.
A network account was created for each environment we needed to support (ETLDev, ETLQA, ETLTest, ETLProd). I added the accounts to the SSIS server and created a credential for each one and tied them to a proxy with access to the CMDExec on the server.
Each network account has access to read the c:\ETL\Config directory and explicitly given access (read/modify, etc) to its corresponding folder structure. This actually helps keep everyone out of trouble. The ETLTest proxy could never access the QA environment packages, eliminating the potential confusion and problems associated with that. In the company I work for, we have several instances of different business units in each environment, so we utilize scripts to set baseline security on all instances. In this case we created an ETL "Schema" on each instance, and automatically created the proper security per corresponding environment with the login's role having access to the schema. We then standardized security on the databases for the ETL accounts and developers knew exactly what permissions the accounts had natively, and anything developed in the ETL space would work as well.
This whole "architecture" resolves around the Domain Accounts. When a package is called from a job, the Run As is set to the appropriate environment account. This account then runs the package and provides the context for the package to know what environment its being run for (so it can find the right configurations).
The file structure is the standard setup that is recommended all over the web - a picture is worth a few words, at least this one:
The experts suggested indirect configuration was the way to go and after some experience I agree. The setup that is recommended:
This setup really lends to flexibility in changing databases or file paths should the need arise.
Now for the hacks to the configuration table. First we start out by making two changes to the main table.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SSIS_Configurations_Storage]( [ConfigurationId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [ConfigurationFilter] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL, [ConfiguredValue] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [PackagePath] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL, [ConfiguredValueType] [nvarchar](20) NOT NULL, [ServiceAccount] [nvarchar](128) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_SSIS Configurations] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ConfigurationId] ASC) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]
The surrogate key just provides a clean way to handle moving the configurations from one environment to the next, and the ServiceAccount attribute is needed to work with the environments. Next, we need to create a view that acts as the table that BIDS will see during the configuration setup in the package.
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[SSIS_CONFIGURATIONS]ASSELECT ConfigurationFilter, ConfiguredValue, PackagePath, ConfiguredValueTypeFROM dbo.SSIS_Configurations_StorageWHERE (ServiceAccount = CURRENT_USER) GO
We then create a trigger on this view , this allows your normal configuration process to works, but gathers the current user who saved the configuration. When moving from one environment to the next, a simple application or stored procedure masking the credentials can make this pretty easy. I built a simple c# app to allow for viewing, editing and saving as the ETLQA, ETLTest, etc user to simplify it even further.
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[SSIS_CONFIGURATIONS_ins] ON [dbo].[SSIS_CONFIGURATIONS] INSTEAD OF INSERTASBEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO dbo.SSIS_Configurations_Storage ([ConfigurationFilter] ,[ConfiguredValue] ,[PackagePath] ,[ConfiguredValueType] ,[ServiceAccount]) SELECT ConfigurationFilter ,ConfiguredValue ,PackagePath ,ConfiguredValueType ,CURRENT_USER FROM inserted
Alright, now the bulk of the hacks are completed its time to setup a job to run a package - its the easy part, and if conventions are followed is extremely quick to duplicate for your next environment after the job is set up the first time.
To make this work aesthetically, all job's are named in the Hungarian notation style (No, I don't advocate Hungarian notation typically, nor use it in my own applications). This serves two purposes, it groups jobs together and is further simplified when scripting out the first version of the job and replacing the "dev" with "test" for the entire job. Do this simple CTRL + H command changes the path to the SSIS package, the credential name, the job owner and the job name. Convention over configuration.
The useful part of this scheme with the environment folder permissions is that if you change one path, but not the credential you will get a permission denied error accessing the folder!
Its a pretty ugly and bizarre setup but it does work well if your environment fits the bill. If you get promoted for this implementation; claim its your own and you can owe me a beer. ;) If you have a better idea, please leave it in the forums or if public humiliation isn't your thing, put it in a private message and send it off to me.

Russia is eagerly trying to sell a variety of new nuclear reactors to countries worldwide, and is also expanding its domestic fleet. Skeptics say the state-owned reactor manufacturer, Rosatom, may be speeding ahead too quickly, jeopardizing the safety of those power plants.
Company officials are pushing back by holding media interviews, offering reactor visits and even by publishing two free apps for smartphones and tablets.
The first, simply called Rosatom, reveals the location of each Russian nuclear facility as well as radiation monitors across the country that would pick up any potential leaks. The app also has a global map showing all reactors worldwide, indicating which are operating, being built, planned or shut down. You get some pretty photos of Russian reactors, too.
The second app, Rosatom VVER-1200, provides a three-dimensional look inside the company's leading design for home and export, the VVER-1200, along with descriptions of the reactor equipment.
Neither app will hold your attention for hours on end, but they are interesting enough. And it is intriguing to see how an entity that most Westerners might consider far away and secretive is reaching out. One note: the apps appear to be in Russian only, but if you download either one, an English version appears on your screen. That's handy.

In the USA, all girls under 18 are protected by federal law from cultural, religious and unnecessary genital surgery of ANY kind. Yet boys in the USA have been and are regularly strapped down while their penis is mutilated! Boys are not given the same protection as girls, and there is no acceptable rationale for distinguishing between unnecessary female and male genital surgery.
Circumcision is medically unnecessary the overwhelming majority of the time, risky, painful and unethical. No scientifically based, respectable medical society in the world recommends routine male circumcision. The foreskin is not a birth defect. It is a normal, functional and almost always healthy sexual tissue with which all boys are born. The majority, estimated to be between 70 percent and 90 percent, of the world's men are NOT circumcised. Fortunately, the rate of this barbaric procedure is falling and is estimated to be between 30 percent and 50 percent of male infants being circumcised in the USA today.
Male circumcision has been and is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the USA, bringing in an estimated $1 billion each year. There is also a multimillion-
Any type of genital mutilation, male or female, involves the surgical removal of healthy, protective, erogenous and nerve-laden tissue. While an adult can freely consent to such surgical procedures, a minor cannot, and it is a violation of a basic human right to intact genitals.
Justifications of improved hygiene and disease prevention are not logical: Eyes without eyelids are not cleaner nor protected, neither are the gums and mouth without the lips intact. Removing a young female's breast tissue to prevent breast cancer later in life or removal of perfectly healthy teeth as preventative measure to reduce cavities in childhood would both be consider unethical.
Scientifically known functions of the male foreskin are: protection of the glans, immunological defense, erogenous sensitivity, coverage during erection and a gliding mechanism in sexual activities.
Scientifically known ways that circumcision harms: denudes the glans, desensitizes the penis, loss of sufficient penile skin to accommodate comfortable erections, disfiguration/
I encourage all readers to educate themselves and tell others so we can end this tragic practice.

A clip was recently posted on the Internet that shows a woman dying while committing adultery. The whole clip does not show any of her body; just her face while her soul is leaving her body. Is it permissible to watch such videos as lesson and reminder of death? Bear in mind that this clip is on many forums.
What is the ruling on watching similar videos just as a lesson? Such as car accidents, earthquakes, planes explosions, people falling from high places and videos showing when the soul leaves the body, good and bad ends, whether at the same time or recorded?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible to show a woman in video clips and to distribute them to people on the grounds that they are moving. It is well known that the woman is 'awrah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The woman is 'awrah." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1173) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
So it is not permissible to look at her – in real life or in a picture – and sharee'ah makes no exceptions except that which is done in cases of necessity, such as looking at the woman to whom one wants to propose marriage, when giving testimony, in the case of medical treatment and so on.
These moving clips, especially those that depict bad situations, such as the one mentioned in the question, or those that show the collapse of a hall in which men and women were dancing and drinking alcohol – it is not permissible to publish or look at any of that, and the one who insists on doing that should erase the images of woman completely.
As for the things that are published about road accidents, explosions, earthquakes and the like, it is permissible for the purpose of teaching lessons and exhortations, so long as they do not include pictures of women or show their 'awrahs uncovered.
We think that the Muslim should seek reminders and be made to fear Allaah by reading the Qur'aan and saheeh Sunnah. There is nothing wrong with using this story as a reminder in preaching so long as one avoids false stories or those that may lead to provocation of desire.
And Allaah knows best.

Leone machine parts Pte Ltd sales high quality aftermarket OEM style mud pump spares, mud pump consumables, mud pump expendables, and mud pump parts. . Our mud pump expendables, mud pump replacement parts and mud pump spares are competitively priced, offer exceptional quality and durability. Manufactures include; Brewster, Continental Emsco, Gaso, Gardner Denver, Ideco, National, Oilwell, OPI, Skytop, and Wheatley.. The Hex 240 Pump (National Oilwell Varco patent) is designed to handle variable pressure and volume flows. Like the old pumps, it utilises axial pistons, but instead of a swashplate it has an asymmetric cam. Significant advantages over triplex mud pumps are: • 30% smaller • 30% lower weight • greater pumping capacity • steady flow (no pressure pulsations) In Nov 2000, the first contact was established between National Oilwell Varco and INA (linear bearings), as well as FAG (rolling bearings). In May 2001, the first prototype bearings were ordered. In 2004, the first series of bearings was produced. INA/FAG supply all the bearing components for the Hex 240 Pump. Extreme loads and constant wear characterize the brutal operating environment of a typical drawworks system. Oilfield Equipment Bearings are well-suited to these applications, due to optimized internal geometry and improved surface finishes that increase bearing performance. Spherical roller bearings can also manage high radial loads even when misalignment, marginal lubrication and contamination are present – all common challenges in a drawworks system. For chain-driven drawworks, Leone machine parts Pte Ltd provides a complete offering of roller chain that meets API requirements, and resists fatigue and wear. Customers can order chain cut to the exact length required for the job to avoid scrapping chain. Timken offers a full package of products to help support improved uptime in the drawworks, and, more importantly, build a high level of confidence that the equipment can handle the job.

Although I missed this article when it appeared in the NY Times (it was my birthday, perhaps I was distracted), I thought it was worth taking the time to pass it along after the fact.
It seems that a when heterosexual couple recently tied the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony, they added a special touch. When the officiant presented the first reading, it was excerpts from a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Court in the case of Goodridge v. Department of Public Health.
"Without the right to choose to marry," the officiant, Julie Maxwell, intoned, "one is excluded from the full range of human experience."
You may recall that the 2003 Goodrich court concluded that same-sex marriage is a legal and civil right.
I don't want to paraphrase the article, so I'll just refer you to it. It's worthy of a read … and of passing on to your heterosexual friends who are planning weddings!

We've all had those nights where sleep just doesn't come easy. No matter how hard you try, you end up just staring at the ceiling above your botanical mattress frustrated with yourself for not sleeping. Have you ever thought that the reason you aren't able to sleep at night might be due to the colors and style of your room? Scientists and doctors alike conclude that redecorating your bedroom can be a very unique and easy way to sleep better and longer. The color choices and style decisions you make in your room could seriously affect your quality and quantity of sleep.
Sleeping Better Can Be As Easy As Redecorating Your Bedroom

FMC announced made a major announcement today that will expand its reach in the biological crop protection market through two key transactions. FMC has signed a global collaboration agreement with Chr. Hansen, a biosciences company specializing in cultures, enzymes and fermentation, to develop and commercialize biological crop protection products. FMC also announced the acquisition of the Center for Agricultural and Environmental Biosolutions (CAEB), a division of North Carolina-based RTI International, which specializes in sustainable agriculture research.

"FMC is poised to become a leader in biological crop protection," said Mark A. Douglas, president, FMC Agricultural Solutions. "We now have a world-class library of microorganisms, deep expertise in biological discovery, and an exclusive strategic alliance with one of the world's foremost authorities on microbial research and fermentation. We have a powerful platform from which we can launch a range of new products."
While FMC has been known for its insecticides and herbicides, the company recently added several patented fungicides to its business. Now the company is building on its synthetic chemistries to offer a range of biological insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.
Alliance with Chr. Hansen
The new alliance with Chr. Hansen will allow FMC to compete in the multi-billion dollar biological crop protection market. Chr. Hansen will provide scouting, screening, scale up and fermentation manufacturing expertise while FMC will provide scouting, screening, formulation capabilities, product development and registration experience, and global market access.
FMC and Chr. Hansen have already worked on several projects together. The existing collaboration between the two companies will yield the Brazilian launch of the Nemix C product for use in sugarcane in late 2013, targeting the biggest sugarcane market in the world of 9 million hectares.
Acquisition of CAEB
FMC's acquisition of CAEB gives the company a proprietary development platform through the addition of a state-of-the art research facility, a team of accomplished scientists, a pipeline of biological products in various stages of development and a world-class library of microbes with deep intellectual property assets, including patent-pending technologies.
CAEB's facility, located in Research Triangle Park, N.C., will become a biological center within FMC's global research and development network. The work conducted at the facility will feed into FMC's alliance with Chr. Hansen.

Switzerland is putting its faith in the Salvation Army to win the Eurovision Song Contest when it is staged in Malmo, Sweden next year.
Television viewers chose one of the Christian missionary group's Swiss chapters, whose bass player is 94 years old, from among five national finalists late Saturday.
The Eurovision contest is a kitschy fixture on the European cultural calendar watched by more than 100 million people across the world.
Viewers and juries pick the winner from an eclectic mix of bubblegum pop and rock acts representing each European country.
Political songs are forbidden and Swiss media have speculated that the Salvation Army's Christian aims might still fall afoul of the rules.
Switzerland hasn't won the contest since Canadian singer Celine Dion represented the country in 1988.

Today, Messengers (the term used for those sent from their SBC churches) at the Southern Baptist Church Convention gathering in Houston, SBC 2013,
passed a resolution calling on all Southern Baptists to report allegations of child abuse to authorities.
Commenting on this, Christianity Today's Gleanings blog noted,
The resolution, filed more or less in response to the high-profile lawsuit against Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM), was amended to ask that "SBC leaders and employees practice the highest level of discernment in affiliating with groups or individuals that possess 'questionable' policies and practices in protecting children against sexual abuse," according to Baptist Press (BP), which live-blogged the morning's votes. [emphasis added]
As much of a no-brainer as this really should have been, it is rather a strong slap in the face to Southern Baptist Celebrity leaders, Al Mohler and Mark Dever — who less than three weeks ago, along with PCA Celeb, Ligon Duncan were busy strongly supporting their buddy, C.J. Mahaney — SGM controlling stakeholder during the multiple alleged abuse cases at Sovereign Grace Ministries' churches including the one where Mahaney pastored. Dever going so far as to preach at Mahaney's fledgling new church plant on June 2nd, 2013 in Louisville, KY — telling the gathered few how wonderful Mahaney is,
"So you all who are here in this church, and particularly if you're visiting or if you're sort of new to Sovereign Grace, you have a privilege in having this man as your pastor that you don't fully grasp, and that's absolutely fine," Dever said. "Just thank God for him and enjoy the word of God as he brings it from a life and a heart full of the gospel, and know that I am delighted to be here. It's a privilege to address you brothers and sisters." [emphasis added]
The original resolution did not come from one of the many other SBC Celebs sharing the platform at the Houston event, but rather from the cheap seats, via an SBC Messenger from Georgia, Pastor and blogger, Peter Lumpkins. ("Cheap seats" is used affectionately for we, the little people) — with much support from folk outside the gathering, including SNAP's Amy Smith.
Amy experienced her own SBC rejection because of the stand she's consistently taken for abuse survivors — in spite of the spin attempted by an associate pastor on staff at Amy's home church — where the pre-SBC13 Pastors Conference was taking place. (Quick synopsis: this pastor communicated that it would be best for Amy & her husband that they no longer volunteer in that SBC church's youth ministry — because of her work with SNAP.)
While all of this was happening, there was another interesting development in the CJ Mahaney/SGM Abuse public relations debacle. The 2nd Mahaney-supporting leaders'statement which originally appeared to be from the corporate entity, The Gospel Coalition, and written by three of its key leaders including founder Don Carson, had this quietly added to it:
This statement reflects the views of the signatories and does not necessarily speak for other Council members, bloggers, and writers for The Gospel Coalition. [emphasis added]
In response to a Tweet where I wondered,
"Perhaps Carson, DY & Taylor received some pushback from other TCGers",
Boz Tchividjian, who with the ministry G.R.A.C.E. supports abuse victims replied,
"Internal pushback has occurred.'
There is a scene in Paddy Chayefesky's Academy Award-winning film, Network where the lead character, news anchor Howard Beale declares,"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore."His audience soon joins him, stating "We are mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore."*
At this point in time, there are many Christians who are "mad as hell" at what has happened to far too many "little ones" in the church — and are no longer willing to be lead in silence by Celebrity leaders. These "little ones" have been hurt, damaged and even sexually abused without warranting more than a passing sentence or two of care from these "Church Celebrities".
What these Celebrity Leaders effectively communicate is that properly held doctrine by big-time church leaders is far more important than a few broken people. (Who was it who said, 'to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs'?)
But God, as He so often does, has chosen to raise up prophets from the "lower classes" of the church. (No disrespect intended.) Dee and Deb at the Wartburg Watch, Michael Newnham at Phoenix Preacher, Matt Redmond, Julie Anne Smith, Amy Smith, Peter Lumpkins, Chris Hubbs, Zach Hoag and many others.
No doubt the Celebrity leaders are not only stunned by how these little people have spoken up, but also that their voices have been and will continue to be listened to.
To God be the glory.
UPDATE: Read this post at TWW. I'm singing from the same songbook.

Travel Guide of Downtown, Vancouver for: Loden HotelDowntown, Vancouver, British Columbia
Downtown Summary
- Principal business neighborhood of the city and all of western Canada
- Pretty waterfront views
- Decent public transportation spanning throughout the city
- Vancouver Art Gallery, offering plenty of fun events and exhibitions
- Decent number of stores and restaurants in Robson Square
- Close to Stanley Park (just up Highway 99, with Translink bus connections)
- Cute, historic areas, like Gastown, with trinket shops and coffee pubs
- Not very happening nightlife
- Vancouver, as a whole, tends to be on the expensive side
What It's Like
Downtown Vancouver is western Canada's financial center, and its city streets are bustling Monday through Friday afternoons -- but weekend nights are quieter. Identified by its distinctive office towers, Downtown is also home to residential areas and modern hotels.
Vancouver Art Gallery, along with Robson Square and Pacific Centre -- a major shopping complex -- are some of Downtown's focal points. The entrance to Stanley Park -- over 1,000 acres of cedar, hemlock, and fir trees -- hooks onto Downtown's western corner.
Where To Stay
Obviously, Downtown is a mecca for business travelers. Because of this, many high-end properties can be found in this neighborhood. Visitors looking to be within a short walking distance from most of the action may want to look for hotels close to Robson Square, Vancouver's civic center, where the Vancouver Art Gallery is located.

Tour de Beauce
Courtesy Communication Tour de Beauce
2008 Courses
Organizers of the Tour de Beauce are back this year with several course changes; apart from the Quebec stage and the gruelling Mont-Mégantic, the other courses have undergone considerable changes. It's a great challenge to offer athletically challenging routes that are technically feasible. We are especially proud of this year's vintage.
The 23rd Edition will be launched June 10 with the revamped Lac-Etchemin / Lac-Etchemin stage, a 167-km warm up covering a major part of the beautiful Etchemin countryside, with just a sideways glance at Bellechasse before returning to the town of Lac-Etchemin.
Wednesday June 11, the Vallée-Jonction stage will emerge from the Chaudière valley to waltz the river basin of the Beaurivage River before returning to finish the stage.
Next, the competitors will have to face the monster climb of Mont Megantic during the 3rd stage on Thursday, June 12, starting in St. Georges and culminating at an observatory perched on top of the highest paved road in Quebec. It's a good bet that some will see stars at the end of this 153-km escapade.
As in the past, Friday, June 13 will be an important day for the cyclists, starting in the morning with a 20-km individual time trial over the same course to be used later on in the summer for the Tim Horton's Canadian Championships. In the evening, the whole population is again invited to the Criterium which will be held in the downtown area of St-Georges. Starting at 6:00 pm, the riders will travel 40 laps on the 1.5-km course.
Exceptionally in 2008, riders will compete on the downtown Saint-Georges circuit on Saturday. This circuit is largely redesigned; riders will climb a significant rise 15 times before crossing the finishing line, where three Grand Prix de Montagne will be held during the stage.
The competitors will wind up the 23rd Edition right in the heart of Quebec City's 400th Anniversary celebrations. The last stage will take place Sunday, June 15, starting at 12:15 pm near the Parc de la Francophonie, on Grande-Allée. A 13.9-km downtown loop, already identified as worthy of the World Championships, will lead the cyclists 9 times on the descent of Côte de Sillery Street and along the Saint Lawrence River on Boulevard Champlain before tackling the Côte de la Montagne Street.
2008 Teams
The Tour de Beauce is expecting 22 teams made up of a little more than 150 cyclists, at the starting line for its 23rd Edition, beginning June 10.
The organizers are more than satisfied with the teams selected as much by their number as by their quality, and anticipate that the caliber will be a notch higher than last year, while presenting a consistently strong pack made up of several teams able to win the race.
Canada is once again well-represented with 9 teams including 2 UCI Continental teams. The Symmetrics team will be back with Svein Tuft, 2nd in 2007's overall ranking. Team Race under the leadership of Steve Bauer will have the veteran Mark Walters and the Quebecois François Parisien. The Quebec Team will also be one to watch with the presence of Charles Dionne. Completing the Canadian delegation will be Volkswagen Trek, Garneau-Crocs, 2Peer.com, Trek Red Truck Racing and Vallée de l'aluminium, who is lining up Dominique Perras this year.
Not to be outdone, the United States will be represented by four teams: Team Type 1 with 2006's winner Kobzarenko and Slipstream presented by Chipotle with David Zabriskie; also notable is the return to Beauce of Jittery Joe's, and to complete the teams, Rocky Mountain.
Among the foreign teams are German Sparkasse, holder of the yellow jersey two days in 2006, the Mexican continental Tecos, with the winner of the 2007 polka dot jersey, the return of the Polish team Amore & Vita-McDonald's, the Irish Pezula Racing, and Rapha Condor Recycling.co.uk from England. Cypriot A.Style Stomn and Konica Minolta from South Africa round out the European Continental field. Add to that the teams from Colombian National, the U-23 South African National as well as a French selection from Aix-en Provence.

With a little more than three months remaining before Election Day, supporters of a law requiring the labeling of some genetically modified foods have raised $2.3 million for their campaign.
Opponents of Initiative 522 have raised almost $1 million to defeat the measure.
"I know that ultimately we will be outspent," Elizabeth Larter, communications director of Yes on 522, said. "In California, money on the 'no' side came in later."
In California's Proposition 37, which voters rejected in 2012, opponents raised about $44 million while proponents of GMO labeling raised $7.3 million.
The biggest contribution to Washington's Yes on 522 campaign, $700,000, came from Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a California-based manufacturer of certified organic soaps and personal care products.
Washington-based contributors include the Organic Consumer Fund, Nature's Path Foods and PCC Natural Markets.
"As of the end of July, 80 percent of our donors are from Washington state," Larter said. "There are lots of $5, $10 and $20 donations. It shows that Washingtonians really care about this issue. They're really embracing the message of more transparency."
Contributors to Yes on 522 number in the hundreds, she said.
Nearly all the support for No on 522 has come from five major contributors, all of them from out of state. The Grocery Manufacturers Association has given $472,500, followed by Monsanto, Dupont Pioneer, Bayer Cropscience and Dow Agrosciences.
Brad Harwood, media coordinator for No on 522, said some people have criticized the out-of-state contributions, but the Washington coalition welcomes all the resources that become available.
"We're about as grass-roots as they come," he said. "The coalition includes the Washington State Farm Bureau, the Washington Association of Wheat Growers, the Association of Washington Business and the Northwest Grocery Association."
He also said he's not concerned that supporters have raised more money at this point.
"We're just ramping up, in the growing stages of the campaign," he said. "People are on vacation right now and not paying much attention to it. Once voters have the opportunity to see how it will hurt farmers and raise food prices, we're confident they'll join us. The more they learn, the less they like it."
On the ballot
The official ballot text reads:
Initiative Measure No. 522 concerns labeling of genetically-engineered foods. This measure would require most raw agricultural commodities, processed foods, and seeds and seed stocks, if produced using genetic engineering as defined, to be labeled as genetically engineered when offered for retail sale.
Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [ ] No [ ]
If voters approve the initiative, the law will go into effect July 1, 2015.

I am pleased to announce that I will be presenting on the Cybertour at Internet Librarian next month. It's a fantastic conference, with the best location (I really miss the ocean!). If you've never been, I'd recommend adding it to your list of must-do conferences. Really. How often do the tech experimenters and the public service folks get to sit down together and drive the conversation? It's not just me, either — here's a list of reasons to attend.
I'll be talking about:
Web 2.0 Resources & Tools
Hear about one tech librarian's cool tool picks as she shares her experimentation and thoughts on their possible use in libraries. She has been playing with tools for easily creating tutorials, with "mother blogs" using Posterious, and getting deep into sharing and bundling features for info dissemination on Google Reader. Hear her tips and opinions!
I'd love to hear your suggestions and ideas — are they easy tutorial tools you love, or want to know more about? Have you played with a new tool for information dissemination but want to get me to dig deeper into it? Leave a comment, let me know; I'll be working on this presentation next week.

Ill. woman's blood alcohol content 4 times limit
ALTON, Ill. (AP) _ A 27-year-old Southern Illinois woman killed in a crash earlier this year had a blood alcohol content more than four times the legal limit.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports tests show Christina Martinez of Fairmont City also had used cocaine.
Martinez died following a March 9 crash.
Madison County Sheriff Robert Hertz says Martinez first crashed into a car in Godfrey Township, injuring the vehicle's driver. Hertz says she then left the scene, reaching speeds of more than 100 miles per hour before crashing again. Hertz says the second, fatal crash was "two or three minutes after that first accident."
Steve Nonn is Madison County coroner. He says Martinez's blood-alcohol level was .365 percent. The legal limit in Illinois is .08 percent.
