A few quick news notes for you today.
Trademarking the Gods: Video game company Nintendo just received permission from the Japanese Patent Office to trademark the name "Amaterasu" in relation to video games.
And you thought it was bad when Nintendo filed to trademark the phrase "It's on like Donkey Kong." The Japanese Patent Office recently revealed that Nintendo trademarked the kanji "Amaterasu" as well as the katakana form in relation to video games. "Amaterasu" certainly seems to refer to the Shinto goddess, but the full name for the deity is Amaterasu Omikami. This name was not trademarked, as it's unlikely that the Japanese Patent Office would allow Nintendo to copyright an actual god or goddess.
While this may seem like no big deal to some, it could set a troubling precedent. If corporations and private businesses start grabbing trademarks to the names of deities within different contexts, what will that mean for the religions that worship and revere those figures? This is especially true as video games, art, and social interactions start to blur within contexts like Second Life. If someone can trademark a god's name in one context, there's little to stop them from doing it in others.
The Birth of Freedom: City Journal features an essay by Andre Glucksmann concerning the birth of the idea of freedom, and the differences between the "epic freedom" of Hegel or Marx and the "tragic freedom" of Athens and Socrates. Glucksmann notes that polytheism creates a more "radical" idea of freedom than most monotheistic conceptions.
With the Athenians, however—and this is an important difference—the gods are as imperfect as human beings, and the divine words are consequently doubtful and impure. In this sense, the Greek experience seems more radical than that of the monotheisms, since it presupposes no adherence to a unique word that would dominate the thought and freedom of men and women. For the Greeks, there was no way around the permanent crisis that constitutes the existence of a free human being.
Glucksmann also credits ancient Greek thinkers with providing the framework for the separation of church and state, and our modern ideas of "human rights." The whole text is worth a look.
Telltale Signs of Santeria? What happens when you mix "occult experts" with animal parts? You get assertions that the dead animals are a "telltale sign" of Santeria.
"Don Rimer, who spent 30 years as a law enforcement officer and now provides training in the fields of ritual crimes and the occult, said the decapitated animals are telltale evidence of people who practice a faith known as Santeria. Followers brought the faith with them to the New World when they were taken from Africa during the slave trade, first establishing themselves in the Caribbean region, he said. Santeria is a blend of ancient African religion and Catholicism, Rimer said. A Utah state agency alerted Rimer to the Park City cases, he said. Rimer, who lives in Virginia Beach, Va., said the circumstances of the Park City discoveries resemble those of Santeria practices elsewhere. Rimer said people who adhere to the faith sacrifice animals and then place the carcasses close to transportation corridors like pathways, railroad tracks and streams in honor of the means slaves used to move about."
Yes, you read that right. The expert was Don Rimer, who also happens to be an expert on Paganism, Satanic crime, and vampires. One wonders where he gets the time to become so knowledgeable when he's so busy traveling the country giving talks. No doubt Rimer thinks his influence was positive because he asserted that animal sacrifice was legal and the alleged practitioners of Santeria meant no harm, but instead he verified the for many the idea that leaving dead bodies lying around is a normal practice for Santeria (instead of acknowledging that there could be other explanations).

Sarbanes-Oxley compliance: Now the real dirty work begins
Sarbanes-Oxley Act veterans and experts have some advice for those who're still trying to get their data centers in order.
Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corp. of America is the largest for-profit prison company in the nation.
It's a nice place to work, but CIO John Pfeiffer doesn't want to serve time there.
Experts have long warned that CIOs and other executives of public companies risk prison time for violating the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The gravity of SOX is clear, with nearly 300 firms recently indicating they will miss their annual report filing deadlines, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of those firms said they were having trouble reviewing and signing off on their financial reporting procedures, a requirement of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Larry Baye, a principal at Grant Thornton LLP in New York, said more companies are reporting deficiencies than ever before.
Moving forward with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
But SOX shock in the data center may have worn off some during the past year. Many CIOs like Pfeiffer, who worked hard to get their data centers compliant in 2004, have a better idea of what it takes to be compliant in 2005.
"This year, we expect the same level of burden, but we could budget for it and plan our project load," he said. "If they come up with something new, it won't be anything we're not ready for."
Shawn Wilde, CIO of Trimble Navigation Ltd. in Sunnyvale, Calif., said his company passed the most recent audit with no deficiencies. Now his staff is focused on keeping its controls effective with a minimal amount of labor.
"We need to figure out how we want to adjust the controls this year to lower the risk of noncompliance and make them better for our business," he said.
Wilde added that it would be helpful to know what to expect from auditors this year. "The challenge now for most CIOs is to meet with auditors and find out what's changing," he said. "We hope we'll get some guidance this year."
Some auditors might have trouble offering guidance because they, too, have been riding the SOX learning curve. "I've been surprised at how much of accounting is an art subject to interpretation and not a science," said Grant Thornton's Baye.
He's been surprised by the great effort, resources and costs companies have mustered to comply. The challenge this year, he said, is to sustain compliance for the long haul. Streamlining and automating processes and controls will help. "The more it's automated, the less they have to be tested and the less subject they are to manual error," he said.
Also, less is more. "IT directors are recognizing that multiple systems create complexity in procedures."
Baye also said he believes CIOs need to figure out how to monitor and assess controls routinely. "How do you build it in on a routine basis, and how would anyone know inadequate testing is being done before it goes into a live mode?" he said.
2005: 'A different effort entirely' in regards to SOX compliance
SOX may have been a side project for many companies last year, but now the challenge for CIOs is making compliance a standard, embedded part of the entire organization, said Cal Braunstein, executive director of research at consulting firm Robert Frances Group. "That's a different effort entirely."
To accomplish this, Braunstein said he believes that IT execs should not take over the entire compliance effort. "SOX impacts more than IT; everyone must be in the same boat," he said.
He recommends establishing a high-level steering committee, so that when corporate decisions are made, IT is executing what the company has agreed to -- and isn't working independently.
"The bottom line is, you need to head toward what your corporate auditors feel is appropriate," he said. "Corporate auditors and outside auditors don't agree all the time, and if a decision needs to be made when there are differing opinions, I'd go with corporate auditors."
Sandy Hofmann, CIO of software firm Mapics Inc. in Alpharetta, Ga., wasn't worried last year or this year. She had application portfolio management in place before SOX. "So much of SOX is common sense and basic good business practice that we had [already] deployed here," she said. "We needed to ensure it was deployed throughout finance systems."
Her advice to CIOs still sweating SOX? Get outside help. It's too late to build skills inside, she said, so it's best to look to risk management and consulting companies for a helpful framework.
"We had the practices; we just needed them in a format that was easily understood by auditors," she said. "Having someone who can interpret what SOX guidelines translate into IT and other areas of business is helpful."
Darn that SOX!
Still, SOX compliance hasn't been without its headaches. "The toughest thing is taking people away from day-to-day business to spend time on this when there's little obvious direct return to customers or shareholders," Hofmann said.
"Every hour we spend on this is clearly an hour we're not spending on business value creation," concurred Pfeiffer. He said that he and his staff worked many 12-15 hour days because they already had business-critical projects under way they couldn't put on hold for SOX. "We had to slog through," he said. You just have to work harder."
And a little clarity wouldn't hurt.
"We still don't know a lot about SOX," Wilde said. "I really think it's going to take another full year to get the ground rules sorted out."

Eat well and be merry
Be jolly without the jiggle! With all the great holiday food, it might seem impossible this time of year, but we're making it easier to fight festive fat. Here's a healthy holiday meal you can make in an hour.
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found while most people only gain a pound this time of year, for many, that pound is never lost and accumulates every holiday season.
"We're having fun. We're with family and friends, and we tend to splurge,'' said registered dietician and former chef Tracey Burg.
Burg is showing her class how to cook up a holiday dish that may break some unhealthy traditions. (Full recipes at the end of this article.)
"You can cut back on fat, cut back on salt, and you can stay healthy throughout the holidays but still have fun," said Burg.
Sear a lean pork loin that's been rubbed in salt-free seasonings and pepper. If you don't like pork, try chicken. While it cooks, start your sauce. Add apple cider, corn starch and anti-oxidant-rich cranberries, which Burg calls, "heart-healthy, immune-boosters."
Top it off with ground ginger, an anti-inflammatory that's good for arthritis.
"My family loves this! This is probably what I'll be doing for Christmas this year," said Burg.
Using canola oil instead of butter, cook up some dark leafy greens like Swiss chard.
Burg explained that "They're also loaded with folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber."
Throw in some toasted walnuts for a boost of healthy fat, protein and omega-3s. Serve the pork and Swiss chard with fiber-packed roasted squash and whole grain parmesan rice pilaf.
"All together this is going to be about 400 calories," said Burg.
Burg adds if you want to stick with your favorite family recipes and still cut fat and calories, try making the ones that call for heavy cream with 1% milk or evaporated milk.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Mirages: Nessie, mermaids creations of light
Q. How did sightings of the Loch Ness monster (Nessie) go the way of old sightings of mermaids and mermen? –C. Shepherd
A. Likely, all were mirages, with light rays refracted from their normal straight path by layers of air of varying temperatures (same as the common highway "oasis mirage"), says Jearl Walker in The Flying Circus of Physics. Under the right conditions, a log floating in water may seem to extend upward like the neck of a monster and to oscillate as if swimming. Conditions are ideal for such a mirage when cold water cools the air just above it while sunlight warms the higher air. Then some of the light is refracted downward, but only slightly, so the viewer must be near the water level to intercept the light.
Nessie statistics support this theory: about 77 percent of sightings occurred from May to August, when the water warms more slowly than the air; about 84 percent took place when the water was fairly calm, enhancing mirage visibility; and many of the observations were made by people near the water level.
Mermaids and mermen were probably distorted images of walruses and whales as seen by medieval seamen near the water surface, says Walker. Mermen, huge monsters that rose out of the sea, had shoulders like men but were handless and narrow at the waist. Mermaids were similar but with heavy hair, webbed hands, tails.
"These mirages disappear if the observers are too close to the animals or too high to see the refracted light," he says. "So, once ships with high decks came into use, reports of the mythical beings decreased."
Q. When does a "hair dresser" become a "hair addresser"? –A. Martin
A. When she or he gathers up clients' shorn locks and turns them over to forensic anthropologists and analytical chemists, who can actually determine the approximate geographic region where the hair comes from, says Sid Perkins in Science News magazine.
The water we drink, with its varying chemical isotopes of hydrogen and carbon, leaves a record in our hair that can be used to trace where we've been living, thus facilitating identification of victims of crime or disaster or helping poke holes in the alibis of suspected criminals. Because most of the water people drink is of local origin, its chemical signature becomes integrated into hair, fingernails, body tissue. Even though consumption of bottled water is up, much of the H20 in our milk, soda, beer, and reconstituted juice is still likely derived locally.
So once a large-scale isotopic map is drawn up, regional hair origins can be pinpointed. Says one Queen's University Belfast chemist, this technique won't find the needle in the haystack, but it will locate the haystack.
Q. Gunslinger John Cash saw his face on a poster nailed to a tree: "Wanted, Dead or Alive, Reward –- Dollars," with a three-digit figure. Miffed, John drew his Colt and shot away the first number, in the hundreds column. He had just reduced the price on his head by five times. He shot again at another number, in the tens column, further reducing the reward by another five times. Nice shooting, he thought to himself, then spurred his horse and rode away. What was the initial three-digit figure? –M. Vos-Savant
A. You number-slingers know that two five-times reductions in sequence amounts to a 25-times reduction overall. Thus, if the sole remaining number were a 1, the original number would have been 25– not enough digits, say Jaime and Lea Poniachik in Hard-to-Solve Brainteasers. The same shortcoming rules out 2 or 3. Using 4, the initial reward would have to be 100, which wouldn't work either. For a 5, 25 x 5 = 125 as the original number. In this case, erasing 1 leaves 25, or 1/5th of 125; then erasing the 2 leaves 5, which is again 1/5th of 25. Bull's eye!

have you ever seen a mermaid or any part of a mermaid that could give you clues to find out if mermaids are real.
well i went on www.youtube.com and typed in do mermaids exsit and i don't know if it is real or fake but the whole tittle was real exsits mermaid caught swimming i do belive that there are really mermaids out there and i would like to be apart of the dicovery email me at email@example.com i hope my information helps.
I also think that mermaids exist. To me it's just a matter of time. If there are mermaids they probably don't want to be discovered because of the way people are when they discover new things. They disect to wondert how the inside of the animal works and what it does. They also think that everything has a scientific meaning and answer. What the people don't know is that sometimes life has no answers, you just have to wait and see what happens. That's why I think no one has actually found a mermaid. But it's like I said, it's just a matter of time. Whether the mermaids want to be found or they don't. They say that mermaids are magical creatures, but to me they're just people, the only difference is that they have a fish tail for legs, and they live in the ocean. That's it. If you think that what I wrote is interesting and you want to know more e-mail me on what you think about mermaids.
Hehe, I've never heard people say they believe mermaids exist.
I don't, but it would be neat. As Fox Mulder says, "I want to believe."
I love love love mermaids but my question is are they real
i love love love love love LOVE LOVE mermaids and i heard that thay are true and they are not true but i belive somewhere out there they doooo exist but i want to find out more . ARE THEY TRUE ? I BELIVE SO..

DAVIS, Calif.- The Harvard women's water polo team defeated Fresno Pacific, 7-4, in the opening game of the Crimson's California trip. Harvard capped off its first day of competition with a 12-4 loss to No. 15 UC Davis. The Crimson now sits at 9-6 on the season.
Harvard kicked off the road swing with a 7-4 win over Fresno Pacific. The Crimson played lights out defense in the first half as the team kept the Sunbirds off the scoreboard. After the first three periods of action, Harvard enjoyed a comfortable 6-1 lead. Devan Kennifer registered a hat trick while Shannon Purcell tallied a pair of goals. Aisha Price and Patricia Smith rounded out the scoring for the Crimson with a goal each. Laurel McCarthy played three periods between the posts, making five saves in the win. Shami Entenman guarded the cage in the fourth quarter and blocked two shots.
In the Crimson's second match of the day, No. 15 UC Davis earned a 12-4 win. Harvard was plagued by a high number of turnovers in the game. The squad buried all four of its goals in the second half. Ita Barton-Kettleborough netted two goals to lead the team. Elise Molnar and Kennifer both found the back of the net once. McCarthy turned aside three shots in the contest.
Harvard remains in the Golden State and will face No. 7 San Jose St., March 17.

Congratulations on making their list again. Maybe they'll correct their error in the future. Yeah, right.
Welcome back. Please conserve your strength.
And yet they have nothing on Bill Ayers or La Raza or Jeremiah Wright. Hmmm....
BTW, glad to see that you are back.
Obviously their "impoverishment" lies largely in their ethics and research skills. >MW
Congrats for making their list! I would consider it a honor.
Congratulations on your listing with the SPLCRofH! You're surely doing the right stuff to achieve such a high honor.
Hope you're feeling better.
Good pic anyway... a**holes
No one listens to these dick-licks anymore.
Neither should you.
God Bless,
I am so envious. To be so attacked by SPLC. It is a true honor that you deserve -- another accolade.
Congrats Mike! - Great to see your'e finally feeling better!
LOL, are they seriously saying that you only investigate Fast & Furious to stop us from thinking you're too reactionary?
Also I don't ever remember you saying that you hate immigrants. You've said you hate illegal immigration, and I'm not sure whether you've said you hate the illegal immigrants themselves, but neither of those are quite the same as just hating all immigrants.
Say! At least they used a nice picture of you. :)
Me thinks they do protest too much.
Take the SPLC's latest commentary as a badge of honor Mike!
Take those meds and keep moving, it works for me!

Re: Mark Driscoll
Jared Wilson:
Pastor Mark, if you're reading this — you are losing us. Forget about the "haters." We ain't them. We are the ones who love you, who want to see you succeed and prevail. And we won't stop, no matter what tribe you're in or which conference stage you take. But we want you to take responsibility for your actions and your attitude. It does not commend grace. We want you to walk in repentance. We want you to seek the way of Christ in more humility, to drop the image and the posturing, and remind us of what drew us to you in the first place: the fame of Christ's name, not the protection of your own. What would the truth of the gospel have you do? What would adorn the gospel? What would make Jesus look big? I believe it would be a reversal of the trajectory of pride you have been on. I'm asking you to turn around and show us why we were so drawn to you in the beginning. I'm asking you to show us Jesus. He has become lost in your shadow.
The Gossip Rag of the Reformed World
Tim Challies:
I had an idea! What if I rebrand this site Reformed People and make it the gossip rag, the tabloid, of the Reformed world? This much is true: I would never run out of people to discuss and evaluate. Just last week I received emails or phone calls concerning at least five open and active people issues, celebrity issues, that I could write about. And those are only the ones I can remember a week later. I won't rebrand, of course, but the point is, there could be a site dedicated only to gossip and people news that concerns our little corner of the Christian world. Worst of all, I think people might actually read it.
What Must You Leave Behind?
Kevin DeYoung:
What must we leave behind if we are to follow Christ?
The simplest answer is that we must leave behind idolatry. That's the very first commandment—you shall have no other gods before me. They don't have to be obvious representations of the divine; they don't have to be stone or wood or marble. There are all sorts of gods: education, athletics, marriage, choice, power, self-expression, beauty, achievement. Whatever you give your whole life for, there's your idol.
What If Your Opinion Doesn't Matter?
Mike Leake:
"Everybody's opinion is valid," said the teacher as she parroted the curriculum. It was one of those happy-feely Monday's where the school was trying to help us love one another, accept differences, and play nice. We likely would have sang Kumbaya if it wasn't so offensive to the atheists.
One of my wise-cracking friends asked what I thought was a pretty solid question. "What if my opinion is that no other opinion is valid?"
I don't remember her answer. And I didn't really care, nor did the kid asking the question. We just wanted to laugh. But I actually think that he had a good point. What if everybody's opinion really isn't valid?

Eldacar (King of Gondor)
Template:Youmay Eldacar (Third Age 1255 – 1490, aged 235 years) was the twenty-first King of Gondor and the son of Valacar and Vidumavi and born with the name Vinitharya.
His reign saw the already lingering unrest explode, for he was the son of princess Vidumavi, a daughter of the Northmen King Vidugavia, a lesser Man.
After ascending the throne in Third Age 1432 he reigned for five years when he was deposed and driven from Osgiliath into exile to Rhovanion by his far relative Castamir "The Usurper" in a civil war called the Kin-strife.
While being in exile he slowly gathered support from the Northmen and the Dúnedain from the northern parts of Gondor (who hated Castamir for executing Ornendil, Eldacar's firstborn son).
In 1447 he marched south with his army and slew Castamir personally at the Battle of Erui. But Castamir's sons escaped and Gondor's purest blood was spilt. He besieged Pelargir where Castamir's sons held out the last resistance. Eldacar had no ships at his disposal (for Castamir was the Lord of Ships of Gondor) and Castamir's sons finally fled to the Haven of Umbar.
Eldacar reigned until 1490 and was succeeded by his second son Aldamir.

By Eno Sarris
It's time for change in baseball. The new norm is somewhere around 50 Tommy John surgeries a year, up from about five a year in the 1990s. While major league elbows are blowing out at record rates, teenagers are throwing 194 pitches in high school games. Is there a link here? Is wear and tear the issue? How can we keep our favorite pitchers on the mound?
First, let's establish the problem.
There is some evidence, perhaps, that these elbow surgeries are keeping our pitchers from suffering career-ending shoulder injuries. But if you look at the days lost from shoulder and elbow injuries over the last decade-plus, you don't see shoulder issues getting a lot better, just elbow issues getting worse. Take a look at average trips to the disabled list and average days on the DL since 2002, split by elbows and shoulders.
Even if the goalposts have possibly changed, losing 50 pitchers every year across baseball is a problem. It could be a new problem, and it might be a better problem than the problems we've had before, but it's a problem nonetheless. Teams are already averaging around 10 starters per year, and if the trend continues, they will need even more just to finish the season. Even if fewer pitchers are losing careers, we can still try to focus on the fact that more pitchers are losing full seasons.
There is a possibility that early use is factoring in here. If a high school senior is allowed to throw 194 pitches, you might have a problem. On top of singular stories such as these, today's young athletes are asked to pick a sport earlier. Scouting runs deeper than ever, so athletes need to make their decisions earlier than ever. For a potential pitcher, that means one thing: lots of pitches, starting early.
But for all the belly-aching about young players with high pitch counts, there's a place where young people throw as often as American kids, but the adults don't have Tommy John surgery as often.
In Japan, young pitchers throw insane innings all the time. Daisuke Matsuzaka famously threw 250 pitches in a high school tournament, and a young man threw 232 pitches this year. When it comes to one-game workloads, young pitchers in Japan have no peers.
But take a look at the prevalence of Tommy John surgeries in Japan over the last two-plus seasons, thanks to this Wikipedia list translated for us by Patrick Newman. Even once adjusted for the number of teams in each league, the differences are stark.
|TJ/Team NPB
|TJ/Team MLB
So Japan has similar structures in high school and college -- with sometimes even more intense one-game workloads -- and yet in the big leagues, their elbows remain healthier. Seems fairly cut and dried. We should be looking at the Japanese pitching structure for clues.
There are some caveats. Consider the story of Takahiro Shiomi, a young left-hander for Rakuten in Nippon Professional Baseball. Last year, Shiomi had some undefined arm issues and went on the disabled list. A year later, he came off the DL with little information about what had transpired. This isn't to say that he had surgery, or should have had surgery, or would have had surgery in America. This is to say that we don't know as much about NPB arms as we do about MLB arms.
Let's say the findings are legit and Japanese pitchers undergo Tommy John less than half as often as American ones. There are some differences between Japanese baseball and American -- and Japanese baseballs and American baseballs -- but the biggest one is obvious: Japanese teams use six-man rotations. They traditionally get five days of rest between starts, and with off days, many even get six days of rest.
This could be the way forward for American baseball.
You can try to enforce innings limits on young men playing for many different organizations. You can work with each one to develop best practices, and to some extent that's being done now. Even Dylan Fosnacht -- the American pitcher who threw 194 pitches -- plays in a league that has rules that keep him from pitching twice in three days. He probably won't throw again until this weekend.
But it's easier for an organization like Major League Baseball to change rules in the major and minor leagues, where they're in control. Teams are savvy, and they've seen the research. Young starters are getting pulled earlier in games, and teams are putting their pitchers -- from Stephen Strasburg to Danny Salazar -- on innings limits in order to avoid overtaxing their pitchers.
We do have some knowledge about the usefulness of pitch count limits and innings limits. The breakthrough piece from Rany Jazayerli and Keith Woolner found that injury rates worsened for pitchers who routinely threw big pitch counts, and that stress on an arm was exponential as those pitch counts increased. Pitcher Abuse Points became a part of the sport, and now it's big news when a pitcher throws more than 110-120 pitches in a game. Add to this finding recent evidence that limiting innings on young pitchers is useful. It's not easy to study, but it looks like innings limits and pitch counts might help in trying to keep pitchers healthy.
Some of this research wasn't replicated when the sample was college pitchers, but we know that college pitchers pitch on the weekend, and don't usually pitch twice in a week. They're basically on the six-man rotation schedule, as they pitch once over the weekend and recover during the week. Those extra days are huge: Jake Mintz writes for Cespedes Family BBQ and pitches for Washington University in St. Louis, and says that pitching on a sore arm "forces you to tweak certain things in your mechanics" and that extra rest means "less overcompensation" and "less stress on the arm."
There would be some ramifications from removing a reliever and going to a six-man rotation. You'd be splitting the 950 or so starters' innings among six roster slots instead of five, and some stress would spread to the bullpen. But, if the players union isn't excited about a move that might keep its players healthier, an extra roster slot could bridge the gap between the two groups. Players would appreciate an extra 30 jobs, and owners could appreciate an effort to quit losing almost a half billion in salary to the DL every year.
And, there are other things that we could learn from Japan. Former major league pitcher Brian Bannister does agree that the "extended recovery cycle" of a six-man rotation would be helpful, but he points out that there are many differences in Japan that could teach us some best practice. "The standard practice/pregame dynamic warmup is extremely thorough in both duration and number of unique motions… this makes sure the body is warm and stretched out prior to throwing," says Bannister. He also thinks that their approach to weight lifting might be more suited to the act of pitching: "The overall attitude towards weightlifting is making sure the body is strong but not in the beach muscle kind of way. I believe this keeps muscles in balance and one muscle group does not overwhelm the connective tissue of a smaller muscle group." Even the recovery phase is a little different in Japan: "the recovery process in Japan is very deliberate with massage and soaking in alternating hot/cold water common."
College pitchers enjoy having the extra day to rest. Japanese pitchers do better with that extra rest and a different approach to preparation and recovery. We know that limiting innings and pitch counts works on major league pitchers. By going to the six-man rotation, we can limit starter's innings in one fell swoop. Perhaps better elbow health would follow.

What is 'professional'?
I was recently asked to review some comments and give my opinion on whether or not they would be considered professional. How do we define professional? Does the male perspective on professionalism create an overarching impact? Do the most successful members of the library profession mirror male professional values? Should they? Eve Ensler recently spoke at TED – exploring how we value ourselves :
Activate, Educate, Engage, Confront, Defy, Create. Those qualities are all important to the evolution and continuation of the library profession, yet all can be defined as unprofessional when challenging the status quo.

Leonard Greenstone, a Los Angeles businessman and developer who helped create innovative training and rehabilitation programs for California prison inmates during 50 years of volunteer service to the prison system, has died. He was 88.
Greenstone, whose efforts included a highly-regarded commercial diving and welding program for inmates at the California Institution for Men in Chino, died Friday at his home in Sherman Oaks. The cause was complications from cancer, his daughter Carol Greenstone said.
Officials with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation this week described Leonard Greenstone as the department's longest-serving and most dedicated volunteer, saying he had frequently provided his own equipment, expertise and funding to help create training programs for inmates.
"He had a passion for rehabilitation," said Charles L. Pattillo, general manager of the California Prison Industry Authority, a state agency that runs job training and associated business enterprises inside the lockups. "Lenny really believed that everyone needed a second chance."
Greenstone, a Navy salvage diver during World War II, also helped establish the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's underwater search-and-rescue team while serving for nearly 20 years with the sheriff's reserves.
"He brought our expertise to a much higher level through his dedication and hard work with the dive program," Mike Leum, the department's reserve chief of search and rescue, said Tuesday.
Greenstone's interest in creating job training for prison inmates grew out of a 1960 visit he made to San Quentin to see a relative who was working as a deputy warden, Pattillo said. While Greenstone was visiting the facility, an inmate captured a guard and held him hostage, but the man was eventually freed by other prisoners.
Impressed by the rescuers' actions, Greenstone, whose background was in plumbing, began thinking about ways to rehabilitate inmates with practical skills that could help them find jobs once released, prison officials said. He soon donated tools and equipment for a fledgling program to teach plumbing and other trades to San Quentin inmates.
Those early efforts would eventually grow into the Prison Industry Authority, officials said. Greenstone was appointed by successive governors to serve on the board of the agency, as well as its precursors.
In 1970, he worked with staff at the California Institution for Men in Chino to start the vocational diving program, which trains inmates for jobs in underwater construction, dam repair and offshore oil drilling. Despite a recidivism rate of less than 7%, the program was closed in 2003 because of state budget cuts. It was relaunched in 2006 and named after Greenstone.
Leonard Greenstone was born in Boyle Heights on Nov. 13, 1923, the son of Morton and Fanny Greenstone. He dropped out of high school to join the Navy during World War II, at first working as a cook, then as a salvage diver.
After the war, he started a plumbing company, eventually expanding into air conditioning and development interests. He also owned businesses related to his diving passion.
Greenstone's first wife, Marilyn, to whom he was married for 60 years, died in 2004. He remarried this year.
In addition to his wife, Arlene Bruckner Greenstone, and his daughter, Carol, of Chatsworth, Greenstone's survivors include his son, Lee, of Shady Cove, Ore., as well as two granddaughters and a great-grandson.

I am looking for some good MMOs for some time, and I circled it down to one I would LOVE to play:
A dungeon crawler with an MMO city builder on top.
So you would have to build a city with smiths and so on with the materials you get by defeating ogres, golem and so on.
Then I thought: Hey! You are already playing something like that: DD
The only thing lacking is its MMO element. You are playing all by yourself and have no concept of energy or something similar.
I would love to play something like that! So, are you guys know what you will program after DD?
Or does anyone know a game, that works like that?

Data for Development Senegal' is an innovation challenge open on ICT Big Data for the purposes of societal development.
in 2013, Sonatel and the Orange Group are making anonymous data, extracted from the mobile network in Senegal, available to international research laboratories, as well as data on hours of sunshine.
The first objective of the 'Data For Development Senegal' Challenge, under the patronage of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, in relation to the Sonatel and Orange policy in favour of development, is to contribute to the development and welfare of the populations.
For this purpose, 5 priority subject matters have been defined, for which the requirements have been expressed in collaboration with the responsible Ministries or the partner institutions:
transport/urban planning
national statistics
The challenge also wishes to contribute to a more technical objective, by rewarding the best advances in the algorithms of anonymisation, datamining, display and cross-referencing of data.
Finally, the intention of the organisers of the Challenge is to achieve maximum involvement from local and regional stakeholders from the world of academic and applied research, in order to guarantee benefits in education and economic development, in particular the ecosystem of local companies and start-ups.
The project will run from April 2014 to April 2015, the date on which the 'D4D Committee', composed of members of the Universities and Institutions supporting the initiative, will choose the best projects.

A new policy regarding Incomplete grades for undergraduate courses taken Fall Term 2006 and subsequently, known in short as "I to F", is in effect. The Faculty Senate approved the change last June. It is important for students to fully understand how the policy will affect their GPA, and to request an Incomplete grade with full knowledge of the repercussions. The policy has changed in two important ways:
A. "Failure to make up an Incomplete in an undergraduate course by the end of one calendar year will result in the mark of "I" automatically changing to a grade of "F" or "NP", depending on the grading option chosen by the student at registration. The instructor, department chair, or dean may set earlier deadlines."
B. "For graduating students, Incompletes in undergraduate courses awarded Fall Term 2006 or later will be automatically changed to a grade of "F" or "NP" prior to conferral of the degree. The faculty of record must file supplemental grade changes no later than thirty days after the degree is awarded. Grades of "F" or "NP" will remain on the academic record after the degree is awarded, and cannot be removed."
For more information, see the 2006-07 PSU Bulletin/Catalog, or go to http://www.pdx.edu/registration/grading-system and scroll to "Incomplete Grade (I)"; for the complete policy, see http://www.pdx.edu/media/r/e/reg_I_to_F_students.pdf. For further questions, students are encouraged to discuss the new policy with their instructor or academic adviser.

Carbondale woman fed daughters, herself rat poison
Maria Alvarado-Gomez, 32, of Carbondale, told her doctor she mixed an entire box of rat poison into smoothies for herself and her two daughters, 8 and 11, her arrest affidavit indicates.
She told police through an interpreter that she "would rather the children be dead than alive in Mexico," where she said the girls' father wanted to take them.
Documents indicate the incident took place on the morning of June 30, but was not reported until the next day, when Alvarado-Gomez was at a regular doctor's appointment complaining of trouble sleeping.
The girls were taken to Valley View Hospital by ambulance and later released, while Alvarado-Gomez was arrested on two counts of first-degree attempted murder, a class II felony, and booked at the Garfield County Jail. Colorado Bureau of Investigation records indicate she has no other criminal history in the state.
Through an interpreter, Alvarado- Gomez told investigators that "she did not want to suffer anymore and she did not want her children to suffer anymore."
The girls' father, Martin Luciano- Gonzalez, 46, consented to a search of the home. He told police Alvarado- Gomez was getting counseling, but the documents say nothing about him indicating he wanted to leave with the girls. The children were returned to their father after leaving the hospital.
Police also spoke with Brenda Paredes, the woman who brought Alvarado-Gomez to the doctor's office. Paredes reported that Alvarado- Gomez was supposed to be on medication but may not have been taking it, and had seemed very depressed for the past few days.
Alvarado-Gomez said she got the idea of using rat poison from a television show, and obtained the poison at a local hardware store that morning.
Milk, strawberries, sugar, and ice cream failed to mask the taste of the poison, and when the children complained Alvarado- Gomez told them she had put vitamins in the smoothies.
Although one of the girls vomited and Alvarado-Gomez made no attempt to obtain medical treatment, all three of them were still alive and active the next morning.
A search of the home yielded an empty container of rodent poison containing brodifacoum, which impairs blood clotting by blocking vitamin K, and can result in internal bleeding. Symptoms of brodifacoum poisoning usually take a couple of days to become apparent, and the most common treatment is administration of vitamin K.
The arrest affidavit indicates that the empty box contained a warning: "Keep out of the reach of children. May be harmful or fatal if ingested."
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Setting Pond Resolutions
It's that time of year—the season when New Year revelers set lofty self-improvement goals and strive to stick to them. Unfortunately, many of these resolutions are long forgotten after a few short weeks. Sound familiar? (I don't know about you, but my running shoes are still hidden away in the closet!)
Well, set those aspirations aside. Let's refocus your resolution energy on improving your lake, pond or water garden instead. Here's how to formulate some attainable goals—and actually reach them—when spring arrives.
1. Realistic Evaluation
First of all, realistically assess the situation in your pond and your experiences with it over the past year. What problems or challenges did you face? Did you have an out-of-control algae problem last spring? A fish population boom (or bust)? Wild water temperature fluctuations? Are you sick of looking at all the cattails?
As you're brainstorming, make a list of these potential pond projects. Be as detailed as possible about what the problems were and the circumstances surrounding them.
2. Pick your Problem
With your list in hand, identify the problem (or problems) you'd like to fix—but pick only one or two to tackle. Then, research the topic(s) to get to the root of the situation and find out what's causing the problem.
For instance, if you had crazy algae blooms last spring, perhaps you have excess nutrients in the water that need to be removed with a filter or broken down by beneficial bacterial. If a particular fish species is exploding in your lake, maybe you need to add some predator fish to keep the numbers in check. If your water temperatures are all over the place, aerating it could help. And if the cattails have taken over, it could be time to do some weed whacking.
3. Formulate a Plan
Next, develop a doable plan—complete with easily attainable goals so you don't get burned out or overwhelmed. Think manageable benchmarks rather than big-picture dreams.
Let's take on algae blooms. Your action plan would include removing dead vegetation with a pond rake and weed cutter; adding beneficial bacteria, such as DefensePAC® (water gardens) or ClearPAC® (pond and lake), to break down detritus and subsurface nutrients; adding or cleaning your mechanical filtration system; and setting up an aeration system, like an Airmax® Pond Aeration System. These are all attainable goals that don't take too much effort when they're laid out in such a way.
4. Act on It!
Finally, take action before it's too late. No pressure here—but time is of the essence, particularly with pond resolutions. Small problems, like the occasional algae bloom, can quickly become big problems and may even threaten the health of your lake or pond inhabitants.
Why wait? Before the weather warms, get a jump start to the season by identifying problems, developing action plans, and readying the tools you'll need. Then you'll be able to get a hold of these issues before they're in full swing so you can enjoy the season!

Joined the cross country team for some mile repeats on a grassy field. They were running them at their 5K pace so I joined the varsity guys.
I didn't have much time to warm-up but thankfully it worked out okay. Didn't pay much attention to the splits but each one averaged 5:58/mile with two minutes rest in between. I think the course might have been a little short though, it felt too easy, but a pretty good interval session all the same.
Afterwards, hit a three mile cool down on the roads. Great running weather with the cold front now passed through. Cutting this entry short as I'm ridiculously hungry.
w/u Ran .2 miles @ 6:31/mile pace. Grassy fields.
4 X 1 mile repeats w/ 2:00 rest @ 5:58/mile pace. Grassy fields.
c/d Ran 3.0 miles @ 7:37/mile pace. Roads.
Grassy fields, paved roads on cooldown.
Slightly hilly.
Mid 60s, sunny.
New Balance MT110 (w/u and intervals), Saucony Kinvara 3 (cooldown), shorts, short sleeved shirt.

Sten wrote:Christianity isn't supposed to have denominations either. The thing about sects is, every single one thinks that they are the only correct one. Every sect thinks that all the other sects are heretical. Every sect thinks that their particular interpretation of the Bible/Quran is the right one. Claiming that some people are Muslim and some people are not because of the sects they align themselves with, is nothing more than a no true scotsman fallacy.
Blaming one another is pointless when the religion declares in its scripture that there should be no sect. Allah founded Islam. Whoever believes in His religion is called "Muslim". It's very simple. Granted there is and will be disputes among Muslims, but we are not authorized at all to divide ourselves by inventing new names before or after "Muslim". I am a Muslim and I do not belong to any sect. Just being a Muslim isn't belonging to any sect.

Finca Natura
|INF-FNI Clubs/Resorts
Spain's Newest Naturist Guesthouse
Finca Natura is a brand new addition to Spain's ever growing choices for both naturist lovers and those that seek a little pampering in a small boutique style guesthouse.
Opening this summer, Finca Natura, which is located just 35 minutes drive from Malaga Airport, offers guests a beautiful and secluded naturist environment.
There are 3 apartments all with bath or shower room, double bedroom and living room. Each apartment leads directly onto the pool terrace area where you'll find ample shade from the Spanish sun, an 8x4 metre freshwater swimming pool, a Jacuzzi and of course the pool side bar! The property sits in 28 Ha. of its own land and also has stables should anyone like to explore on horseback.
Corrine and Andy are your hosts and both love the naturist lifestyle, however they equally enjoy heading out and about as this area has so much to offer.
The beaches are only a 40 minute drive away and there is a regular train service to Malaga / Fuengirola and beyond.
Malaga Old Town is a must see and has been much improved over the last few years. The whole area has now been pedestrianised and wonderful cafes and restaurants accommodate the streets and small squares.
Heading away from the coast, the lakes and mountains of 'El Chorro' are only 20 minutes drive from Finca Natura and also the historical town of Ronda will only take a little over an hour to reach.
Corrine and Andy will gladly make you a pack-lunch for any of the days you wish to venture out and about and will even pop-in a bottle of wine or bubbly for you!
On the subject of food and drink, Finca Natura is an all-inclusive guesthouse where all your meals and drinks are included.
Corrine and Andy ask you to help yourself to a pre-laid breakfast table, however lunches and evening meals are served 'alfresco' in the courtyard by the pool.
Meals are set and enjoyed together where wine and conversations flow.
Corrine and Andy are quite young naturists and have looked for their perfect naturist property for sometime.
Corrine loves the area and her sightseeing and shopping! ...Andy's interests lie in photography and cooking.
The area around Finca Natura is full of flora and fauna and is a painters or photographers dream. For Golfers, the choices are endless.
The nearest town is Alora. Its a Moorish town and stooped in history and is part of the province of Málaga (Andalusia). It is a typical pueblo blanco, a whitewashed town nestled between three rocky spurs topped by the ruins of the castle.
Markets can be enjoyed on certain weekdays but there is always a coffee or a cold beer to be enjoyed at the many Spanish owned tapas bars. Yes this is real Spain ...no all-day breakfasts here and the only Sun you will see is in the sky!
Flying to Malaga is easy from the UK and car-hire considered cheap in comparison to other EU countries.
Corrine and Andy will gladly arrange a collection from the airport should you not want to hire a car however there is a train to Alora (1 change) from the airport that typically takes only 45 minutes.
If you have any questions whatsoever please contact Corrine and Andy directly either by email or phone.
They look forward very much to providing you with a wonderful and memorable holiday.
