Cards rally to keep spot atop NL Central perch
After being no-hit for 5 2/3 innings, St. Louis tops Crew with big eighth
ST. LOUIS -- With a come-from-behind 5-1 victory over the Brewers on Wednesday, Lance Lynn earned a stay in the rotation and the Cardinals maintained their solo presence atop the National League Central standings.
Having already watched the Pirates complete a sweep of the Rangers in Texas earlier in the day, the Cardinals took the Busch Stadium field in front of 43,040 fans -- a total that included 7,906 complimentary tickets handed out to military members and first responders -- needing a win to keep Pittsburgh from pulling into a first-place tie.
Lynn provided the foundation for it with a critical rebound performance. The offense later pitched in four eighth-inning runs to cap a comeback on a night that again began with the Cardinals no-hit through 5 2/3 innings.
"It seems like we're always in it, and then something always happens, a little dribbler down the line or something," said Brewers starter Marco Estrada, whose club is now 3-12 against St. Louis. "We were in the game, and unfortunately it fell apart."
For Milwaukee, the crumbling came in the eighth. Having tied the game an inning earlier on Daniel Descalso's two-out single, the Cardinals caused reliever Brandon Kintzler trouble when he returned for another frame.
After falling behind, 0-2, Matt Carpenter singled for the second time in the game. His hit two innings earlier was the first for St. Louis. Jon Jay followed with an eight-pitch walk and Matt Holliday filled the bases with an infield single.
A sacrifice fly by Carlos Beltran broke the tie. Matt Adams, who had already been snatched of a hit by an errant umpiring call, provided the final cushion with a two-run homer off lefty Michael Gonzalez.
"He's stepping up in a big way," Carpenter said of Adams. "You lose a guy like Allen [Craig], it can be a loss for a lot of teams. But Matt stepped in and played great. Tonight is another example of that."
The runs came too late to help Lynn snap a personal five-game losing streak, but the righty did earn the satisfaction of knowing he'll have to wait only five more days for another chance to end it. With the organization clear that Lynn's rotation spot was tenuous, Lynn delivered his best outing since July.
"Tonight was a good [performance]," Lynn said. "Hopefully, [it's a] building block for me going down the stretch to get myself right for this team and the run we're trying to make."
Lynn was aggressive, efficient and unfazed when things went wrong around him. To varying degrees, all three had been trouble areas for him in recent weeks.
Establishing his fastball command quickly was an early key, and it afforded Lynn the opportunity to then mix in more offspeed pitches as the game progressed. Of the 23 batters Lynn faced, 15 saw first-pitch strikes.
Lynn traversed through six innings on 93 pitches, fewer pitches than it took Lynn to cover five innings in his last start and four the one before that. After striking out 28 in his last six starts combined, Lynn finished Wednesday with 10.
"It was a very good outing and that's something that I know he was ready to see," manager Mike Matheny said. "It was one that was more consistent than he's had in a while. Hopefully, it's just a sign of what's to come."
The Brewers' only run was an unearned one in the second. After allowing a one-out single and subsequent walk, Lynn answered with a strikeout of Juan Francisco. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke took a gamble, sending both runners on Lynn's second pitch to Logan Schafer.
Tony Cruz, starting behind the plate with Yadier Molina away due to a family situation, sailed his throw. Carlos Gomez scored easily from third. Lynn, after walking Schafer, closed the inning with a strikeout.
"You look at what could have happened in the second with the unearned run that comes across," Matheny said. "Those in the past have turned into bigger innings. He refocused, got back on the mound and made good pitches."
Perhaps it's no coincidence, either, that Lynn's resurgence came just hours after he and the rest of the team's starters were summoned into a meeting. Members of the coaching staff were present as well, but it was veterans Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright who did most of the talking.
With two rookies in the rotation and another (Joe Kelly ) who has never started a postseason game, Carpenter and Wainwright emphasized the need to be mentally prepared for this final stretch. The message was one of assurance -- that the group need only to pitch to potential, not try to do too much despite the growing stage.
"It was a good meeting, even for me, who has been through it a little bit," Lynn said. "Carp might be one of the best playoff pitchers of all time. For him to give everyone the confidence that they need to go out in this push is a good thing."
Lynn may have capped the day with his 14th win had a call not gone against the Cardinals in the second. Beltran led off the inning with a walk, after which Adams drove a pitch down the right-field line. It bounced off the outfield padding, clearly striking the yellow line that separates fair territory from foul ground.
First-base umpire Chris Guccione nevertheless called the ball foul, forcing Beltran back from third. Matheny argued and the umpiring crew huddled but did not overrule Guccione.
"We were looking for somebody who was conclusive, 110-percent sure that it was different than what Chris had called," crew chief Tom Hallion later told a pool reporter. "We could not come up with that."
Hallion confirmed that replays did show they missed the call. A double play and flyout ended that inning.
"It was a big turn of events," Adams said. "It would have been first-and-third, nobody out in a close ballgame where the pitchers were throwing the ball [well]. But we just kept battling all game."

It's a clichéd message, sure, but you've got to give Germany artist Ralf Schmerberg props for collecting 322 fridges to create this igloo. An attached electrical meter displays the energy waste to passersby, who can even pop inside.
Inside, there's a collection of all sorts of gadgetry—toasters, TVs, fans and for some reason an inflatable mushroom cloud. measuring 5.6m high on the outside with a diameter of 11m, inside it's 4.82m high and has an inner diameter of 9.8m. It's on display until the 9th of November, when it'll get dismantled and hopefully be recycled/put to good use, rather than just tossed in a landfill.

The above-mentioned personal data may be processed by the Credit Bureau, also with the purpose to calculate, at the Participant's request, the FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau.
The Bank and the other Participants use the FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau to reduce the credit risk associated with a debtor / potential borrower. FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau is a number between 300 and 850 obtained from the statistical process that processes the information recorded by the Participants in the Credit Bureau System and indicates the likelihood that the data subject will pay his interest rates in the future. The main causes of the FICO® Score decrease from the Credit Bureau are displayed under the form of reason codes. FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau takes into consideration the following elements that give predictability: payment history, current debt, duration of the account / credit accounts (the average number of months from the granting of credits), the demand for new credits (the number of queries and credits granted over the past 6 months), credit mix (types of credits granted), age of the data subject. The influence of these elements on the FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau may vary depending on the information recorded at the Credit Bureau for each data subject. FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau is a highly predictive analytical tool that, along with the Credit Report data and the information obtained from the Participants from other sources, competed for the correct assessment of the creditworthiness of the data subject for the conclusion/ performance of the contract credit.

Thanks Ma!
My poor mom now has pneumonia. I swear she can't get a break. At least she's on antibiotics now. I am really feeling badly for her. Hoping she is better soon!
Today I will be transporting a wonderfully stinky bloodhound pup from Kentucky to Tennessee. I'll be leaving shortly to pick her up. I'll be sure to post some pics!! Tata for now.

Pet Assistance Network and Brown Dog Foundation help families struggling to care for their pets
Know of someone who is struggling to keep their pet despite rough financial times? A new organization called Pet Assistance Network may be able to help.
For those in Nashville and selected other areas (hopefully in Knoxville soon), Brown Dog Foundation can help those in need of emergency life-saving veterinary services for their pets but who are unable to afford it.

The ears have it...
An infection that is. Feelin' a bit on thew yucky side today, but manageable.
Still nothing on the job front and no prospects. I have tried to reach the unemployment office nearly 100 times and STILL have yet to get through to a person OR a voice mail box. There's not even a call queue, just a message saying you have to try your call later due to the "high call volume." Great.
On the positive side I am painting a lot and will be exhibiting at Wilde Thyme Art at their grand opening in early December. Check them out at http://wildethymeart.net. I believe the art will be for sale online as well.
I am looking forward also to seeing my friend Jan from Canada tonight. She will be celebrating the defense of her dissertation, which is today, and has really worked hard to get her PhD in social work. I know she will be relieved and happy to have gotten through the day. Go Jan!
All the pups and kitties are doing well but Pepper has been suffering with a grumbly tummy recently. She threw up on the bed last night and looked so pitiful as is to say "I'm sorry...I couldn't help it!" She is such a sensitive little soul.
Gonna lay down for a few minutes before getting back to making more art for the show. I need to have 20 to 30 pieces so I need to busta move!

Well, that was quick...
I showed up at my new job after a little training, and found that I had no office, no phone, no computer, and no place to sit. Huh? Couldn't they have stuffed a desk in the corner of one of the meeting rooms or something?
It's a growing company and they do NOT have any of their processes down yet. Look, I'll be 45 friggin' years old in January. I know I'm not a seasoned social worker as of yet, but maybe a chair? Maybe a desk that could be shared that is not piled high with papers and charts? I was so disappointed. Constant interruptions in clinical work would have been the norm. I have never quit a job without staying a while, but at this age, I know the score and I was going to be taking Xanax by the end of the week. The gals there were sweet, but it was really going to be miserable for me as a professional.
I've always worked in very mature and professional offices and this was like being in someone's house with people yelling back and forth from the kitchen to the living room. Yes, I know I am spoiled, but I'm too old to be going that far backward. Perhaps my first clue was when I threw up in the middle of the night after my first day. I DO NOT throw up and have NEVER in my life vomited from being emotionally overwrought.
Apparently when I got laid off I had the only good social work job in the city. Maybe I'll just go back to marketing, be bored, and draw an easy paycheck.

A Rise in Wealth for the Wealthy; Declines for the Lower 93%
An Uneven Recovery, 2009-2011
During the first two years of the nation's economic recovery, the mean net worth of households in the upper 7% of the wealth distribution rose by an estimated 28%, while the mean net worth of households in the lower 93% dropped by 4%, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of newly released Census Bureau data.
From 2009 to 2011, the mean wealth of the 8 million households in the more affluent group rose to an estimated $3,173,895 from an estimated $2,476,244, while the mean wealth of the 111 million households in the less affluent group fell to an estimated $133,817 from an estimated $139,896.
These wide variances were driven by the fact that the stock and bond market rallied during the 2009 to 2011 period while the housing market remained flat.
Affluent households typically have their assets concentrated in stocks and other financial holdings, while less affluent households typically have their wealth more heavily concentrated in the value of their home.
From the end of the recession in 2009 through 2011 (the last year for which Census Bureau wealth data are available), the 8 million households in the U.S. with a net worth above $836,033 saw their aggregate wealth rise by an estimated $5.6 trillion, while the 111 million households with a net worth at or below that level saw their aggregate wealth decline by an estimated $0.6 trillion.1
Because of these differences, wealth inequality increased during the first two years of the recovery. The upper 7% of households saw their aggregate share of the nation's overall household wealth pie rise to 63% in 2011, up from 56% in 2009. On an individual household basis, the mean wealth of households in this more affluent group was almost 24 times that of those in the less affluent group in 2011. At the start of the recovery in 2009, that ratio had been less than 18-to-1.
(The focus in this report on the upper 7% of households rather than some other share of high wealth households reflects the limits of the tabulations published by the Census Bureau. The boundaries of its wealth categories dictated the split of households analyzed in this report.)
Overall, the wealth of America's households rose by $5 trillion, or 14%, during this period, from $35.2 trillion in 2009 to $40.2 trillion in 2011.2 Household wealth is the sum of all assets, such as a home, car, real property, a 401(k), stocks and other financial holdings, minus the sum of all debts, such as a mortgage, car loan, credit card debt and student loans.
During the period under study, the S&P 500 rose by 34% (and has since risen by an additional 26%), while the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index fell by 5%, continuing a steep slide that began with the crash of the housing market in 2006. (Housing prices have slowly started to rebound in the past year but remain 29% below their 2006 peak.)
The different performance of financial asset and housing markets from 2009 to 2011 explains virtually all of the variances in the trajectories of wealth holdings among affluent and less affluent households during this period. Among households with net worth of $500,000 or more, 65% of their wealth comes from financial holdings, such as stocks, bonds and 401(k) accounts, and 17% comes from their home. Among households with net worth of less than $500,000, just 33% of their wealth comes from financial assets and 50% comes from their home.
The Census Bureau data also indicate that among less affluent households, fewer directly owned stocks and mutual fund shares in 2011 (13%) than in 2009 (16%), meaning a smaller share enjoyed the fruits of the stock market rally. Likewise, fewer had individual retirement accounts (IRAs) or Keogh accounts (22% in 2011 versus 24% in 2009) and the same share had 401(k) or Thrift Savings Plan accounts (39% in both years). Among affluent households, there was also a decline in the share directly owning stock and mutual fund shares during this period (59% in 2011 versus 62% in 2009), but a slight increase in the share with IRAs or Keogh accounts (70% versus 68%) and a larger increase in the share with 401(k) or Thrift Savings Plan accounts (65% versus 61%).
Overall, net worth per household in the U.S. in 2011 made up nearly all the ground it had lost since 2005—$338,950 versus $340,252 in 2005, the latest pre-recession data published by the Census Bureau. (Total household wealth doubtless rose for a period after 2005 before falling precipitously during the Great Recession of 2007-2009 and rebounding since then. However, no household wealth data are available from the Census Bureau for the years between 2005 and 2009, so it is not possible to pinpoint when, or at what level, the peak in wealth per household occurred.)
Looking at the period from 2005 to 2009, Census Bureau data show that mean net worth declined by 12% for households as a whole but remained unchanged for households with a net worth of $500,000 and over. Households in that top wealth category had a mean of $1,590,075 in wealth in 2005, $1,585,441 in 2009 and $1,920,956 in 2011.3
About the Report
Much of the original analysis in this report is based on published tabulations of household wealth and asset ownership by the U.S. Census Bureau. Estimates of the 2011 level and composition of household wealth were released by the Census Bureau on March 21, 2013. The data can be downloaded from here. The Census Bureau's wealth tabulations are based on its long-running longitudinal household survey called the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). The Census Bureau has published comparable wealth tabulations based on SIPP since 1984 (the data were collected in 1984; the report publication date was July 1986). SIPP is among the nation's most prominent sources of data on the wealth of American households. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System also publishes periodic estimates of the aggregate net worth of the nation's households and nonprofit organizations. The most recent Federal Reserve System estimates are for the fourth quarter of 2012. However, these "flow of funds accounts" estimates provide no demographic information; that is, they do not illuminate which households own the nation's wealth, only the total amount of that wealth. SIPP provides detailed demographic information on the ownership of wealth, and the 2011 wealth estimates provided by the Census Bureau are the most recent estimates available on which households own the nation's wealth.4 The estimates are based on responses from a sample of the population and may differ from the actual values because of sampling variability and other factors.
The terms "wealth" and "net worth" are used interchangeably. "Household net worth" refers to the value of the household's assets minus the value of household liabilities, or the value of what it owns minus the value of what it owes. "Net worth" includes the value of nonfinancial assets owned, such as equity in one's own home and a motor vehicle, as well the value of financial assets such as bank accounts, defined-contribution retirement accounts, savings bonds and directly owned stocks, bonds and securities. Net worth as measured by the Survey of Income and Program Participation does not include the value of traditional pensions (defined-benefit retirement plans) or present or future benefit streams tied to Social Security.
Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts are adjusted for inflation and reported in 2011 dollars. The inflation adjustment utilizes the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index Research Series (CPI-U-RS) as published in DeNavas-Walt, Proctor and Smith (2012). This is the price index series used by the U.S. Census Bureau to deflate the data it publishes on household income.
Additional details on the Census Bureau wealth estimates are provided in the Appendix.
This report was conceived and researched by Richard Fry, senior economist with the Pew Research Center's Social & Demographic Trends project. The report was written by Fry and Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew Research Center and director of the Social & Demographic Trends project. Research assistant Eileen Patten provided expert assistance with the preparation of charts and formatting the report. Research assistants Patten and Anna Brown number-checked the report. It was copy-edited by Marcia Kramer. The authors appreciate the insights on the distribution of wealth provided by Rakesh Kochhar, senior researcher with the Pew Research Center.
- Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts are adjusted for inflation and reported in 2011 dollars. ↩
- The Census tabulations are based on the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). For 2010 this data source indicated that total household wealth was $39.4 trillion. An alternative source of data on household wealth, the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), indicates that 2010 wealth totaled $60.0 trillion. Some of the discrepancy may be due to differences in each survey's universe. The SIPP is restricted to the household population, while the SCF includes families living in group quarters. The SCF is also more comprehensive in the assets it covers. SIPP does not include the cash value of life insurance policies and the value of household furnishings such as antiques, art and jewelry. Since the SCF oversamples high net worth families, estimates of mean net worth and aggregate net worth based on it are preferred (Orzechowski and Sepielli, 2003). However, no post-recession SCF data are yet available. ↩
- However, price inflation makes this comparison more tenuous as the years go by. In other words, $500,000 was worth considerably more in 2005 than 2011. In terms of constant purchasing power, households with a net worth of $500,000 and over in 2005 should be compared with households with a net worth of $576,052 or more in 2011. Clearly the share of households in this upper net worth category fell from 2005 to 2011. In 2005 15% of households had a net worth of $500,000 or more. By 2011, 13.5% of households had a net worth of $500,000 or more, so a lower share would have had $576,052 or more. ↩
- Another prominent source of data on wealth is the Survey of Consumer Finances, collected by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The most recent Survey of Consumer Finances was collected in 2010. It is a triennial survey; the next Survey of Consumer Finances data, for 2013, will be available in 2015. ↩

* * * * *
Following are excerpts from THE NFL ON CBS conference call on Tuesday regarding the NFL Divisional Playoff games this weekend:
(On Giants-Cowboys playing for third time this season): When it comes to the playoffs you can't draw up too many new plays. You are who you are. You can't turn into a zone team from a blitzing team. You become so familiar with what the other team does, that should help you. My thoughts are that it could drive scoring down. I don't expect the Giants and Cowboys going up and down the field in this game because of too many good players and too much information available about what the other team is trying to do. That should curtail some of the scoring.
(On Giants QB Eli Manning): I don't know if the light came on, or that golden age hit him...I think we should've seen more games like we've seen these last two weeks from not only Eli Manning but maybe from the Giants and the coaching during the season. It just seems like it's been easier for him. The rhythm of the play-calling was terrific the last two weeks. I think that had so much to do with why they won. Physically it looks like it was easier for him. He had more short throws. [He] wasn't always trying to make a big throw down the field to Plaxico Burress. To me, that's the big thing...There's no question that Eli Manning, in college and in the pros, has taken a lot of snaps. He has been well-coached, especially with the New York Giants, and it's all coming out. We're seeing the fruits of a lot of hard work by a lot of people, especially Eli Manning. With the atmosphere down there in Dallas, I expect him to play pretty well because he knows that team. He has good players around him. The weather will not be a factor - all that seems to help him. I expect him to play well this weekend.
(On San Diego): They have big-time players. When you have big-time players, they're going to get chances to make big time plays. They're difference makers. They can win games when they make a play...They have as many play-makers on that football team as any team in the NFL...Philip Rivers was living in a dream world last year. First-year as a starter, 14-2, that team, that talent - he got roughed up this year on the field, in the press, and maybe I'm a little "old school," but sometimes that is the best thing that can happen to your quarterback. It just makes them a little more grisly, tougher. It just helps them compete better. He has fought through injuries and some unbelievably tough games. For as good as they are, he has taken his share of hits this year. He has come through it very, very well.
(On Jacksonville): If they're looking for a physical football game, they're going to the right spot. The Patriots love the action. I always say be afraid of the people who love the action. They're not so concerned about winning and losing, they just want to ruffle it up a little.
(On Jacksonville-New England): These are teams with two distinct styles. Who can win the early battles will determine the style of game it will be. That's what Jacksonville is going to try and do...When you play the Patriots you try to play the game, get it into the fourth quarter and try to make the play that wins.
(On Joe Gibbs): He has nothing left to prove. If he retired, that just means that is what he wanted to do. He is going to go down as one of the best coaches in NFL history, and well deserved.
(On New England QB Tom Brady): What makes him a great NFL quarterback is when you give him the opportunity, he can make the play. I don't care about all the intangibles. That's all wonderful. The intangible I look at first, if the guy is open 20-yards down the field, the coverage is tight - can you stick it in there? And Tom Brady can stick it in there. Oh, he's open way down the field, you have to throw it 65-yards to Randy Moss? He can do that. His greatness of throwing the football has enabled him to do all this other stuff we always talk about.
(On New England being a television draw): That big zero has gotten the nation curious. We're all curious. I'm curious. I can't wait. I want to see, can they do this (go undefeated)? Being an ex-player, and now a broadcaster, I find it extremely exciting. I've probably focused on the Patriots more this year than I have any other team since I've been doing television just because I find it intriguing.
(On possibility of an Indianapolis-New England AFC Championship and their rivalry): You have two marquee quarterbacks who are always involved in this contest. The coaches are the same and a lot of the key players are the same. We're going to see them again next year too. It has it all. It has that marquee value...It is one of the best rivalries that we've seen in a long time. It's as good as I've seen since I've been following the NFL.
(On San Diego at beginning of season vs. San Diego now): It's not that they were a horrible football team. They were just a very good football team that was struggling to find a way to win...I like where the Chargers are right now. I like the way they think about themselves. I like that they can find different ways to win. And they're playing good solid defense. There's a lot to like about San Diego...That losing streak got them focused. They have grown during the season. Ted Cottrell is calling a different game than he did earlier in the season. Earlier in the season he seldom rushed Shawne Merriman and Shaun Phillips at the same time. He had Phillips go into coverage while Merriman rushed. Later on in the season he has brought a lot of pressure on by bringing both of those guys together. That is great pressure off the edges when you can come with two quality guys like Shaun Phillips and Shawn Merriman. That is really special.
(On San Diego going into Indianapolis): They (San Diego) can't count on Darren Sproles running back a punt. And they (San Diego) can't count on Peyton Manning throwing six interceptions in a game that they only won by two points. The Chargers are going to realize that they're going to have to play a whole lot better than they played in that first game if they think they're going to go to Indianapolis and win there...The Chargers certainly aren't going there over-confident just because they won there earlier in the year, and just because they won there back in '05...I would put the ball into Philip Rivers' hands right off the bat. I would not wait for them to struggle running the ball before I started letting Rivers put the ball in the air. I'd throw on first down with regularity against the Colts...I would come right out of the gates throwing the football. I would come right out and put it right into Rivers' hands in trying to get that Colts defense a little bit off-balance.
(On Jacksonville being the "team nobody wanted to play"): Jacksonville got that moniker - "the team nobody wanted to play" because of how physical they are as a hard-hitting, muscular, testosterone-filled team. And I don't mean that in terms of illegal drugs. I'm talking about a team that muscles up when they play. They are just a reflection of Jack Del Rio.
(On Joe Gibbs' legacy): I don't think what happened in the last four years, anyone who in any way applies any negativity to the overall accomplishments and legacy of Joe Gibbs is talking to the wrong person. I think it just goes to show how hard it is to win in the National Football League and, in my mind, he went out on a really high note. It's hard to coach a team any better than Joe Gibbs coached his football team in the aftermath of what happened to Sean Taylor. I think Joe Gibbs' legacy is intact.
(On what impresses about New England QB Tom Brady from an offensive lineman's perspective): His physical toughness and leadership ability. You want to block your [butt] off for a guy that will stand back there and take a shot. You want to block for a guy that just radiates passion the way Tom Brady does. When you look at the performance of that offensive line of the New England Patriots, there is a whole lot of one-two involved because they don't want to disappoint the undisputable leader of that football team. Tom Brady has every intangible that you would love a quarterback to have.

In fact, most of the misery on this planet derives from this 10 percent. It is useless to try and reeducate them, since their only function is to harm and harass others.
Cool?At the Forest, it is important that the space is as open and inclusive as possible. However, we feel strongly that our staff (including volunteers) have the right to work without being subjected to any kind of negative or threatening behaviour. Also, members of the general public should not feel threatened by other people. This means the space and the people in it should be treated with respect at all times.
If anyone feels they have been treated unfairly by a member of our staff, the only kind of correspondence we will enter into is that which is rational and considered - preferably in writing. Working in the Forest environment is never easy, and we fully expect our staff will occasionally make mistakes, and that people may feel aggrieved as a result. However, making a member of our staff feel uncomfortable in any way is strictly forbidden in this space.
Anyone who does make a member of staff feel uncomfortable, for whatever reason, will be asked to leave. If you are asked to leave, please do not stay around and make someone's life a misery by arguing and refusing to accept their decision. Our staff's decisions must be respected as they are the people responsible for the Forest at the time when they are working.
Anyone resisting a request to leave the Forest will increase their chances of being permanently barred form the premises. Barrings are decided upon by a team of experienced Forest volunteers and are not negotiable, except in writing.
If you have any complaint about the Forest, its staff or how you have been treated you should put it in writing and send it to us. We promise to discuss it at a meeting, and if you ask for a reply we will write back to you.

Project: "Development of new technologies for RNA-vaccination"
Exosomes are small membrane vesicles, that are secreted by a wide variety of different cell types (e.g. dendritic cells). These vesicles are able to transfer RNA between two cells in a cell type specific manner. Therefore exosomes are promising candidates for new transfection/RNA-vaccination -strategies.

Marhaba, a mother of four, has been abandoned by her husband in her Tajikistan village. The problem? The marriage, conducted according to Islamic rites, was never legally registered - so now he's under no obligation. And this is becoming increasingly common.
Such marriages are not uncommon: in poor and remote areas such as these, up to 30% of couples are married by a mullah and don't bother registering - a formality that fell by the wayside during the civil war of the 1990s, when many parents wanted to afford young daughters the relative security of marriage and the civil government was barely functioning. But it's only recently that husbands have started taking advantage of it, many leaving to find work in Russia, getting equally unofficial "talaaqs" or religious divorces so they can remarry and gain legal status, and leaving their wives high and dry. As Zebo Davlatova, of the League of Women Lawyers, tells the BBC, "Without official registration women have no right to demand their husbands provide them with somewhere to live or to pay anything at all to support the children," and often end up in other unrecognized marriages for security - as second or third wives. This is not unique to Tajikistan - there are thousands of such cases - and a problem for which, as women's advocates say, there's simply no easy answer.
The Muslimah Media Watch addressed the story today, and while they acknowledge the real tragedy of such situations, ask that we not view this as simply another tale of woe pertaining to women who are victims of a patriarchal Muslim culture - "the Orientalist theme of the weak, emasculated Muslim society that abuses women" - and points out that it's important to remember that "the real problem isn't the nikaah or talaaq, but the fact that neither of these are documented." Obviously it's larger cultural perceptions of women, and the dependent and vulnerable role they're forced into, that permits this sort of tragedy - but as MMW is at pains to point out, it's important not to conflate this with Islam as a whole. What is depressing to conceive of is the fact that thousands of men have been able to abandon their families so callously, and far more of a comment on human nature than anything else. It's not as if, after all, they don't know what they are leaving them to. Says Marhaba, "He registered his marriage with that other woman and I hear they live happily and in prosperity. But look at this shack me and the children have to live in now. They can't even go to school, because I can't afford it and they don't have birth certificates."

H.G. Bhurijana Prabhu
Disciple of His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Bhurijana Dasa began chanting Hare Krsna in early 1968 while still a student at the University of Buffalo. A few months later he met his spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, at the first Hare Krishna temple, on Second Avenue in New York City. He was initiated by Prabhupada later that year. In 1969 Prabhupada asked Bhurijana Dasa to help pioneer the Krishna consciousness movement in Japan. A year later, in December of 1970, Bhurijana Dasa married Jagattarini Devi Dasi, and together they opened ISKCON's first Hong Kong center. During the next six years he was fortunate to meet Srila Prabhupada in Hong Kong, Manila, Mayapur, Vrindavan, Melbourne, Auckland, Fiji, and Honolulu.
In 1976, during their last meeting, Srila Prabhupada asked Bhurijana Dasa to help develop ISKCON's educational system. Bhurijana Dasa then worked in primary education and curriculum development, and later conducted teacher-training courses in Vrindavan.
While teaching at the Gita-nagari farm community, Bhurijana Dasa wrote curriculum for elementary and high school academics, some of which in adapted form is still used in ISKCON schools to the present. Also while at Gita-nagari, he and Jagattarini Dasi created and performed many puppet shows, which became the basis of the Gita-nagari Puppet Theatre video series that has provided devotional entertainment for hundreds of devotee children.
In 1987 Bhurijana Dasa helped establish the Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education (VIHE), where he taught courses in sastra, teaching, and writing. He organized ISKCON's first Bhakti-sastri course, covering Bhagavad-gita As It Is, The Nectar of Devotion, The Nectar of Instruction, and Sri Isopanisad.
In 2001 Bhurijana Dasa was instrumental in inaugurating the VIHE's Govardhana retreats, which have since become a yearly event attended by devotees from around the world. In 2002 he helped organize for the VIHE the Bhakti-vaibhava course (a study of the first part of the Bhagavata Purana) and co-taught the first six cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam. In 2007 he co-taught the first Bhaktivedanta course, which covers cantos seven through twelve of Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Bhurijana Dasa has written several books, including The Art of Teaching, Surrender Unto Me (a study of the Bhagavad-gita), Studying Srimad-Bhagavatam, My Glorious Master (a memoir of his time with Srila Prabhupada), Unveiling His Lotus Feet (a study of the first four cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam), and Japa: Nine Keys from the Siksastaka to Improve Your Japa. He is in the process of writing two more volumes of his Bhagavatam study, which will cover cantos 5 through 9 and 11 and 12.
He currently divides his year between teaching in Vrindavan, teaching and writing in Perth, Australia, and traveling. Two adult ex-children, Lalita Manjari and Jaya Gurupada (Jiggz), grace his family
And yes, he has a hobby: photographing beautiful Sri Vrindavan-dhama. Offering the fruit of his photography to the devotees is the primary inspiration for this website.

He brings up a very good point about taking an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. That's an oath that I've taken and that all public servants are required to take. The banksters and fraudster politicians had better hope that the people, like Mr. Hedrick, don't start waking up and actually doing that which their oath requires.
The following comments were posted with the video on Youtube:
I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy.

Carl Trueman
While I am not accustomed to receiving such detailed responses to a brief book review, the nature of this one requires at least a brief rejoinder.
First, as to the sixteenth and seventeenth century: the idea that Presbyterian and Puritan can be used as separate categories, representing different interests is simply nonsense. The English-Scottish settlements of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries do not allow for the kind of statement that "Puritans were in the Church of England and Presbyterians were in the Kirk of Scotland." Of course, the fact that Hart and Muether think that James VI/I was the son of Catholic Mary Tudor, not Catholic Mary, Queen of Scots, indicates that their knowledge of the Anglo-Scottish politics of the time is problematic. Understanding the royal lineage is central to understanding Anglo-Scottish relations and religious policy of the time. One cannot understand why there ever was a Westminster Assembly unless one understands the struggles over church government and worship within the Anglican Church (and, indeed, within the Church of Scotland) generated by the House of Stuart. (Though, according to this book, James is a Tudor, not a Stuart!) And, I note, a further historical generalization that needs at least some unpacking has been added in the response: Scottish Presbyterians were highly divided over the regicide. Does the name of Covenanting Lord Montrose mean nothing? What about the so-called "second Civil War" before the King's execution? The legal action against Charles was driven by Parliament, the New Model Army, and the Independents; English Presbyterian Puritans (yes, there were such men) like Christopher Love were opposed to it.
Second, I stand by my critical reference to the generalization about the PCA on page 253. I make the obvious request for documentation, not an unreasonable request from a book that offers itself as a historical narrative. All the authors do in their response is quote their original statement. The statement may be true, but a good historian offers evidence and nuances his position. The "prior observation" itself requires documenting. A large and diverse church needs careful parsing in a historical narrative; and historians are meant to provide evidence for their claims. That the book is endorsed by PCA pastors is surely a sign not that every statement is endorsed but that the PCA does actually contain leaders who do not represent the kind of PCA caricature offered here.
There are other comments one could offer: the silence of the authors on the connections between Van Til and Ned Stonehouse and early evangelical fellowships, for example; the apparent assumption that the "spirituality of the church" is a given, enjoying universal consensus on exactly what it means—or, perhaps more accurately, what the authors think it should mean. But there is no time to deal with that here. Thus, while I certainly acknowledge that Hart and Muether specialize in American Presbyterianism in a way that I do not, I would offer the following cautions. Despite the claim that it is the reviewer who uses the early Anglo-Scottish categories to read later developments, it is actually the authors who do so, and, as a historian, I will document the claim. Readers should not take my word for it; they need merely read the book. Second, it always worries me when the one area of a book where I am competent to comment is so problematic. What, I wonder, about those areas where I do not have the training to spot the flaws? Am I being sold a bill of goods? And how would I know? Well, generally, I check the footnotes and track down the evidence. Yet in this work, key claims are left uncorroborated. That is a serious flaw.
I am sure that this exchange will leave readers thinking that I do not like the book. I do. It tells a fascinating, and generally fairly reliable, story; but I suspect it also tells me as much about the authors as it does about American Presbyterian history.

What Makes Online Networking Work?
By Peter Weddle for BioSpace.com
There have been countless articles published about how to find candidates on the Web. The tools and techniques they describe are the science of online networking. What gets much less attention is the communication with candidates after they are identified. Done well, it is an art, for it alone convinces the passive prospect that they should apply for an opening. Or, to put it another way, the art of networking is what makes online networking work.
There are, of course, two kinds of online networking messages: one for filling current vacancies and the other for building a pipeline. The former is best described as a blink communication. Its purpose is to get a person to make a positive decision in the blink of an eye. The latter is a red shirt message because it is intended to develop familiarity and trust – the pillars of an enduring relationship – with individuals who may be hires in the future.
Both kinds of messages are obviously important. However, in an era when hiring is slower than the norm and every new hire is critical, red shirt communications take on a particularly important role. They ensure that the passive, hard-to-sell candidate is already captured and partially recruited before the opening for which they are the perfect fit even appears.
With attrition in candidate pipelines typically running at 40 percent or more per year, red shirt messages have a huge impact on a recruiting team's success. They both:
* minimize the wasted time and effort of having to replace individuals who have left the pipeline
* maximize the impact of the time and effort invested in communicating with those in the pipeline.
How Do You Create Such Messages?
A recent study conducted by FTI Consulting, Inc. sought to answer this question: what content on the Web are people willing to pay for? In a sense, it was exploring what kind of content was perceived to be the most useful and/or advantageous to the recipient. Those are the messages that get the most attention and, as a consequence, they are the messages that are most likely to influence a person's behavior.
The study generated the following prioritized list of preferred content.
* Exclusive content
* Custom content
* Apps
* Breaking news
* Industry specific information.
These findings suggest two guidelines for effective red shirt messaging.
Guideline #1: Bias your communications toward content that candidates consider useful and/or advantageous. For every one message you send about an employment opportunity or the value proposition of your employer, send three to five messages that they would perceive to be beneficially unique or tailored to them.
Guideline #2: Bias the content of your useful/advantageous messages to focus on what candidates would consider exclusive (e.g., industry-specific internal studies or surveys) or custom-tailored (e.g., profession-specific peer papers or conference presentations by employees of the company) for them.
While prospecting for candidates is clearly important, what makes online networking work is the art of good messaging. It alone ensures that each communication is perceived to be useful and/or advantageous to the recipient. And, it is that perception which captures and holds the allegiance of top talent.

Smetana, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Glinka: Tuesday's program at Davies Symphony Hall by the Russian National Orchestra and its guest conductor, Giancarlo Guerrero, won't win any awards for innovative programming. It was a high-level performance of meat-and-potatoes repertory, easy to enjoy.
But there was news: the Bay Area orchestral debut of pianist Daniil Trifonov, the 21-year-old Russian virtuoso. Last season, he won the Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein competitions. This season, he is debuting with four of the "Big Five" orchestras: New York, Chicago, Boston and Cleveland. His Feb. 5 debut recital at Carnegie Hall will be released on Deutsche Grammophon, a prestige label. Oh, and he still is a student at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
He is human: One year ago, when Trifonov gave a recital at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, this writer watched as a large moth flitted across the keys, then jumped up and batted the pianist on the cheek. He swatted at it and lost his place in Debussy's "Hommage à Rameau."
There were no moths nor mishaps during Tuesday's program, the first of two this week by the Russians. (They are being presented by the San Francisco Symphony as part of its Great Performers Series.) Trifonov's rendering of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor was poetic and fierce, and the fact that he appears as shy and slender as a boy out of a Dickens novel only added to the effect.
It wasn't a typical performance. Through the long opening movement, Trifonov pushed and pulled back tempos within phrases, as he played cat and mouse with the orchestra. His playing was humorous, crisp and percussive, then filled with feathery shadings and effects. Entering the cadenza, his playing was spiky — stabbing; one could feel Tchaikovsky's pain. The flying double-octaves which close the movement were clean as a whistle.
Guerrero drew a big vital sound from the orchestra, with deep rosy hues from the strings: the sounds of good health.
Balance, however, was sometimes an issue: i.e., inaudible brass during a dramatic tutti passage. Early in the lyric middle movement (introduced by unusually plush flute-work), there was a wobbly moment or two when the soloist (who plays on the off-beat here) and orchestra got out of sync. Where was Guerrero? Yet it was during this movement's scherzolike interlude, played at something like triple-tempo, that Trifonov was at his best: super-delicate streams of notes, like dustings of sugar. In the finale, he and the conductor toyed with surges of tempo, as Trifonov went whirlpooling through more of those mad octaves to close it out.
He played an encore: Liszt's transcription of Schumann's "Widmung." This was all heart and song, the most moving three minutes of the evening.
After intermission, Guerrero led the orchestra in Dvorak's Symphony No. 6 in D major, which pulsed with color and more of that healthy outdoorsy-ness through its opening Allegro. The Adagio captured the solace of Beethoven, Dvorak's inspiration here, as Guerrero painted with horns and cellos, violas and flutes. It was lush and lovely. The Scherzo — fired by a Bohemian folk dance, the furiant — lacked tautness and a knockout punch. The finale was thick with buzzing crosscurrents, but perhaps not as heroic as Dvorak intended.
The orchestra's most consistent performance was its encore: Glinka's "Ruslan and Ludmila" Overture, a virtuoso showpiece. This was a bundle of energy, transmitted with precision and with lavish melody.
Two hours before, Guerrero and his musicians began with Smetana's Overture to "The Bartered Bride" — not as consistent. Still, those bumblebee strings! Those rosy-toned effervescences!
To your health!

As officials weigh funding options, streetcar remains likely to move forward
Opponent: 'All of these recommendations are sad'
City Manager Milton Dohoney's ears were burning Wednesday as elected officials discussed his proposals for bridging the streetcar plan's funding gap.
"All of these recommendations are sad," said City Councilman Charlie Winburn, an outspoken streetcar opponent.
Community activist Pete Witte says Dohoney's plan diverts money from neighborhoods like East Price Hill to downtown.
"If this fund is drained, if it is inhibited in any way, it delays these projects, there's no doubt about it," Witte said.
Vie Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a streetcar supporter who's running for mayor, chose her words carefully.
"Am I supportive? I think that it needs to be discussed and also that there needs to be some tweaking," Qualls said.
The city manager proposed moving some money from the plan to renovate Music Hall to the streetcar project.
Dohoney's spokeswoman said the city's $10 million commitment for the renovations won't start for three years, and none of the streetcar funds would be pulled from that money.
"We had already allocated money thinking that they would need it this year, so we already have it in a bank account," said city spokeswoman Meg Olberding.
But some officials are hesitant to pull funds from that pool.
"Part of us allocating that money was showing that we were committed to the project so that they could raise additional private dollars," said City Councilman Chris Seelbach.
Mayoral candidate John Cranley says all the proposed funding options stink.
Dohoney and Mayor Mark Mallory argue that the overarching benefit of saving the streetcar will create more money in the long run.
Future slices of funding neighborhood projects will be larger, they've argued.
Although council members remain concerned about the cost, most agree that a majority will agree to continue with the project.
"I'm undecided but, you know, I want to find a way to make sure the project goes forward," Seelbach said.

One good thing about many games built on Valve's Source engine is that developers often release the SDK (software development kit) for them. And so it is with Zeno Clash.
Developers ACE Team have released the tools - which will allow users to mess around with items, characters and environments within the game - along with some paperwork on how to get the most out of them, on their wiki page. If anyone feels like giving the guns a little more heft, I'd be grateful.
