Theatre Arts
Theatre examines the human condition through the collaboration of playwrights, actors, designers, directors, technicians, and stage managers. Audiences are entertained and enlightened--sometimes moved to laughter and sometimes brought to tears by the drama presented in live performance.
The UW-Eau Claire theatre program emphasizes a well-rounded curriculum offering students a strong academic background as well as practical hands-on experience. The curriculum focuses on the need for students to have a historical perspective and a contemporary understanding of all of the collaborative components of the art form and a working knowledge of how those components work together to reflect human values, experiences and accomplishments in order to challenge, entertain and enlighten audiences.
In addition to course offerings, students actively participate in production work in such areas as Acting, Directing, Designing, Stage Managing, Play Writing, Theatre Promotion and Technical Theatre. Practical experience is supported by a dynamic faculty who work closely with students and are active in their fields. Internships through professional and community theatre organizations also are available.
The department produces an active season that includes five main-stage productions, a Theatre for Youth touring production, student-directed Short Play Festivals, a New Playwrights Festival and a dance concert produced in facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. Our comprehensive theatre seasons expose students to a full range of styles, genres and periods, including comedy, tragedy and musical theatre. Opportunities for involvement in productions are open to all UW-Eau Claire students.
Students graduate with the knowledge and skills to successfully work in many areas of theatre or to pursue a graduate degree. The theatre curriculum and experience also provide students with a strong liberal arts background, giving them the communication skills, self-confidence and human insight to pursue careers in many fields.

Anyone know any good ones that are essentially free??? I dont mind paying money for a book, but honestly I just want to switch up training a little bit for a higher vertical leap. I'm willing to put in months of dedication and hard work for added inches. Any of you know a proven workout that should get me to my goal?
-deltoids anonomous
Do some reading on plyometrics and DE training and how to implement them into your program. Ive read most of the vertical jump articles on elitefts and they all seem to be pretty good.
Check out Kelly Baggetts stuff. Higher faster stronger .com...Theres also a thread below this one that has some links in it on Kelly's articles.
10 years ago i had 39 inches...life happened got old and fat and was down to 24...could barely touch the rim...I've been doing some of his stuff for 2 weeks and have gained 4 inches already.
Bench: Half a subway club
Squat: to pee
Deadlift: no thanks
don't let the 12" pythons fool you....i can run way faster scared than you can mad
The common theme among jump programs is developing more power in the hips and glutes and plyometric/speed training for the jump.
It will boil down to a little bit of specificity as with anything else. Practicing the jumps will help.
Do you have access to plyometric boxes?

*Westside Barbell Certified Gym
yes I believe a 34" and a 42" box are at the gym I go to
-deltoids anonomous
I have done LOTS of plyos in my day and I can tell you they work! Just don't forget the stretch reflex portion of each movement and remember that you are training your muscles to get to maximum strength in the shortest time possible not shortest range of motion???? Hope that makes sense?
On a side note, I did some plyometric training with some world class guys and I mean guys who could single cycle (one leg) bound 45 yards on 8 touches, thats an everage of almost 17 feet per cycle on one leg, not rotating legs and from a standing start and they all told me that they did not feel they could safely single leg bound hard until they could squat 2.5 times their own body weight easily???? Not to mention it can be really hard on the joints, but in most of the power lifting type plyos I have seen it is mostly double leg stuff anyways.... I have been doing some at home...
But when I learned to bound my vertical went through the rooffff! I had a lot of fun playing pick up games of B ball back in the day
Just a thought..... Good luck brother!

Recently, Brooklyn-based TransCare Ambulance Corporation donated an ambulance to the country of Grenada to help the victims of Hurricane Ivan during a ceremony with Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz . On March 4, 2005, TransCare Chief Executive Officer Matt Harrison, along with President and Chief Executive Officer of The Brooklyn Hospital Center Sam Lehrfeld, presented the ambulance keys to the Honorable Allen McGuire, Consul General of Grenada.
When Hurricane Ivan hit Grenada in September 2004, it caused ninety percent of the island's structures to sustain damage and over 60,000 people became immediately homeless. There are over 50,000 Grenadians living in Brooklyn, and by donating this ambulance, TransCare - along with The Brooklyn Hospital Center - will be helping thousands of people on the island receive medical assistance.
"TransCare is pleased to help the thousands of people in Grenada who don't have access to hospitals and will now be able to be reached," said Harrison . "We are in the business of saving lives, and when The Brooklyn Hospital Center asked if we could help, we knew that donating this ambulance would make a difference . We already have plans to donate three more ambulances to the islands this year hit by the Hurricane."
Lehrfeld commented, "It is the true spirit of humanitarianism in outreach efforts like providing help wherever it is needed that sets The Brooklyn Hospital Center apart. We are proud to partner with TransCare in providing this ambulance and because of our close ties not only with Grenada , but the Caribbean , we will look for more opportunities to lend whatever assistance they may require."
"We are thankful to TransCare and The Brooklyn Hospital Center for donating this ambulance. It will be of great use to the people of Grenada ," said McGuire. " Brooklyn Hospital has been forging strong ties with the emerging nations of the Caribbean region, and when Grenada was devastated by Hurricane Ivan last September the hospital immediately asked how it could help. They have come through for us."
TransCare Corporation is the largest private ambulance company in New York City , operating over 500 vehicles in the greater New York metropolitan area and the Mid-Atlantic region. In addition to its dominance in the New York area, TransCare also controls the operations of the largest ambulance service in Pittsburgh , and is one of the main providers in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. market. In 2004, TransCare transported over 660,000 patients on emergency and non-emergency runs.
TransCare provides hospitals and a wide range of related healthcare facilities in its service territories, with a complete array of emergency medical transportation services including routine transports, specialized services such as neo-natal and other high-risk transfers, corporate response and standby services, and the provision of 911 emergency response services for several municipalities.ShareThis [1]

Well, this is as good a time as any to say why Ive been so touchy about public school teachers getting picked on by Republicans in the General Assembly. Truth is, of course, Im not the only one, as we here in the editorial shop draw more response to editorials and columns about teachers than on any other subject.
People feel strongly about teachers, their own and their kids, and they dont like it when these noble centurions of the classroom, underpaid and overworked, are turned into political pawns by politicians who know better and ought to get a few disciplinary whacks up in front of the bulletin board, if you know what we mean.
So anyway, this brings me to Bettie Henley Vann Sharpe. The obituary appropriately ran at the top of the page on Monday. Ms. Sharpe was 91, and her life was long, full and enlivened by five nieces and their children and grandchildren, a lengthy career with Hudson Belk and, as the notice said, some years spent as a teacher in the Raleigh City Schools.
In that role, she saved my life once, and that is no exaggeration.
In the first grade at Aldert Root Elementary School, I was the youngest kid in the class, shy, with bad tonsils that would come out during that year. I thus did not speak loudly enough, and the teacher interpreted that as a lack of intelligence. She put me in the bottom reading group, and the truth was, she just didnt seem to like me. It happens. Teachers can be miracle workers, but theyre also human.
It was a lousy year, and 2nd grade was not surprisingly about the same. I was off to a bad start that, had it continued, might well have seen me doing poorly throughout school and thought of by teachers as a kid without much potential.
In the third grade, I was assigned to Miss Vanns class. She was tall, with a booming voice, a no-nonsense way about her (I didnt know what no-nonsense meant then, but thats what it was...) and high expectations. I overheard my mother telling my father after a parent-teacher conference, They say shes the best in Raleigh.
The saving began when she put me in the top reading group. If you try harder, youll be right in here with the others, she said. She then proclaimed me the penmanship champion. Along the way, all through the year, I was singled out for some kind of minor accomplishment every week. Some years later, I realized I wasnt the only one. In fact, she found a way to make every kid in the class a champion at something. It was her strategy, and her own triumph.
Oh, make no mistake, she didnt tolerate bad behavior, and when her standards werent met, she made it clear. In so doing, she made us all want to live up to those standards, to earn her respect.
And she cared. Once, a girl who lived close to the school just took off and went home during the day. Miss Vann told the principal to watch her class, got in her car, and delivered the girl back to school. Shed just knocked on the door and said, Lets go.
She kept teaching until the mid-1960s, and quickly moved up the ranks at the Hudson Belk department store after that. But for decades, her students would visit her at home, and later at the Whitaker Glen retirement community. I used to see her in the grocery store, and wed hug and while we were talking one of her friends would come by and shed introduce me as she did thousands of others as one of my third graders. And so we were, all our lives, her third graders.
After my mother moved to Whitaker Glen, Id have longer chats with Miss Vann in the dining room, and shed tell me about all the former classmates whod come by with their grandchildren. Once, when it was just the two of us at her table, I worked up the nerve to thank her for saving my life.
Honey, she said, I didnt do that. With teaching, sometimes you had to go a little deeper with a child, particularly one who was shy. So with you, it was just a matter of knowing there was something in that little boy and I had to bring it out. I had to do that a lot, and that was the fun in it.
If you havent thanked a teacher today, go do it now.

It wasnt long ago that people were worried about students getting injuries from carrying too many textbooks in their backpacks.
But now many North Carolina public school students are lucky to have any textbooks to take home.
State funding for textbooks has been cut by nearly 80 percent in the past four years, just as the state has been switching to a new curriculum with new textbooks. At the same time, school districts are expected to make the switch to digital textbooks by 2017 even though no money is set aside for computers or other digital devices for every student.
With schools buying fewer textbooks, its forcing parents to decide whether theyre willing to pick up the tab to buy books for their children to take home putting low-income students at even more of a disadvantage.
Im not an educator, just a parent who has been educated, said John Schlichenmaier, a parent of a student at Broughton High School in Raleigh. Im sure the bureaucrats can point to all different kinds of excuses. But the fact remains that you have young kids who are being cemented into a permanent lower level of life. They should have the textbooks they need.
Some school districts have found a possible means to resolve the situation, but its an approach that wont be cheap and could require hard decisions in an economy thats still in recovery mode.
Funding stays flat
The state is the main source of textbook funds for school districts, often the only source for smaller ones.
In the 2009-10 fiscal year, the state provided $111.2 million for textbooks. But amid the budget crunch, it was cut to $2.5 million for the following fiscal year.
State textbook funding has hovered around $23 million for the past three years. Left-leaning groups have criticized the Republican-led General Assembly for not raising textbook funding back to $100 million a year. But the big cuts began back when Democrats were in charge of the legislature.
School districts now receive $14.26 per student for textbooks, compared with $67.15 per student in the 2008-09 fiscal year. But 80 percent of that $14.26 per student is used on items such as workbooks for elementary schools that are used up each year, said Drew Fairchild, chief of textbook services for the state Department of Public Instruction.
Fairchild said that leaves a few dollars per student to spend at a time when the average cost for a textbook ranges between $39 and $86.
How can you afford a (grades) 6-12 math textbook for $14.26? he said.
The state, which negotiates textbook prices with the publishers, has continued to adopt new textbooks to reflect the changes in curriculum, but Fairchild said districts havent been able to buy many of the new books. With each year, Fairchild said, districts fall even further behind providing students with enough new textbooks.
Fairchild estimates that purchases handled by the state textbook warehouse have dropped from $74 million a year to $14 million a year. The 52,000-square-foot warehouse, the only state-operated textbook depository in the country, now largely sits empty off Reedy Creek Road in Raleigh near the N.C. Museum of Art.
We can feel the impact
Schools have resorted to buying only a few textbooks for each subject. That means there arent enough textbooks for all the students to take home.
The lack of textbook funding has been a big issue, said Kerry Chisnall, principal of East Cary Middle School. We can feel the impact.
Like other schools, East Carys photocopy budget has shot up as teachers have copied the pages that students need.
Stephen Mares, principal of Broughton, said teachers dont teach straight through a textbook anymore so photocopies can work. But Mares said he recognizes that some students need a textbook so he tries to provide one when requested.
My job is to provide what teachers and students need, he said. If a teacher truly needs it, its my job to get it.
Schlichenmaier, the Broughton parent, was able to get a Latin textbook from the school. But he plans to buy other textbooks for his son, something he says is not possible for the lower-income students.
Luke James, a Holly Springs parent, encountered similar challenges when he discovered his daughter didnt have textbooks for most of her classes at West Lake Middle School. He said he had to go to Wake County school systems central office to get a science textbook.
The kids dont have the reference materials they need, he said. You see how the U.S. schools rank against the other countries. Im sure those other kids have the reference materials they need. Its a shame.
Example in Orange
The future of textbooks changed this year when a law was passed saying the General Assembly plans a shift from funding paper to digital textbooks by 2017.
School districts, most of which dont yet have one computer for every student, are still trying to figure out how theyll adapt to the change, especially as the law doesnt include state funding for new devices.
June Atkinson, state superintendent of public instruction, said it could cost $75 million to provide schools with the devices they need, not including the funding for the actual digital content.
Some technology efforts havent gone smoothly. Guilford County school officials pulled 15,000 tablets out of middle schools in October after safety issues such as partially melted chargers.
Wake County school leaders are going slower as they work through a policy that would allow students to bring their own digital devices to school. Its not been resolved yet what will be done for those families who dont have their own devices or Internet access at home.
The Orange County school system is well ahead of Wake, providing laptop computers to every student in grades 3 through 12. The middle school and high school students take their laptops home with them.
The roll-out has gone well, said Michael Gilbert, an Orange County schools spokesman. Its really gone over well with the kids.
Orange County has shifted its textbook funds into buying digital content, although not necessarily digital textbooks. The district still buys paper textbooks for Advanced Placement courses.
Part of the funding for Orange Countys laptop initiative comes from a quarter-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2011.
Atkinson said the General Assembly can help with the transition by boosting textbook funding.
We have to recognize that students learn in a different way now, she said. This will be a huge switch for parents. We have to adjust.

County and city officials met at in Hoschton to discuss how Gwinnett County special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST) dollars are being spent.
Rhonda Etheridge, deputy director of financial services for Gwinnett County, presented an overview of what SPLOST is meant to accomplish and what the county has done with the money. Etheridge noted part of the money has funded multiple Gwinnett County fire stations, including Station 18.
SPLOST proceeds have also funded numerous projects at county recreational facilites. Rhodes Jordan Park in Lawrenceville is undergoing renovations, as is Ivy Creek Greenway in Buford. Etheridge said SPLOST funds were also used to alleviate congestion on Collins Hill Road that resulted from the construction of Georgia Gwinnett College. The county used SPLOST money to create an additional entrance at the back of the school to relieve traffic in the area.
"We've done a lot to make sales tax work," Etheridge said. Since 1985, $2.2 billion dollars in SPLOST proceeds have been used for capital infrastructure.
Jere Jordan, division director of Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services detailed how SPLOST has helped the fire department in assisting the county's residents.
"Our mission is to save lives and protect property," Jordan said.
Jordan said SPLOST funds make that mission easier by allowing stations to be built in locations that will better serve the community and that will reduce travel time from the station to destinations in the community.
Representatives from a selection of Gwinnett County's towns and cities also discussed what their respective governments have accomplished with SPLOST money. Parks and recreational facilities were widely acknowledged, as well as multiple administrative buildings throughout Gwinnett.
The next semi-annual SPLOST review meeting is scheduled for Friday Oct. 28. A location has not yet been announced.

NORMAN — Noble will participate in the University of Oklahoma's annual Big Event again this year. In an effort to give back to the community, OU students and faculty join members of the community to assist in various projects from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on April 13. Noble will clean city parks.
"We have three popular parks in Noble needing to be freshened up," Robin Parker, volunteer, said.
Riley Park on north Main Street, Dane Park at 8th and Maguire, and Kenneth King Park on Kenneth King Drive and Maguire in Noble are all slated to be spruced up. Volunteers will pick up trash and sticks, mulch and weed landscaped areas, prepare community garden beds for spring planting and pick up roadside trash.
Community volunteers should bring gloves and yard tools and meet at their park of choice at 9 a.m. The OU Big Event volunteers will arrive at 10 a.m. It is estimated that with enough volunteers, the parks should be cleaned by 12:30 p.m., Parker said.
"Please pass the word and recruit as many community helpers as possible," Parker said. "This is a great way to give back to the Noble community."

August 1, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Brewers manager Ned Yost hopes an altercation he had with two of his players during Thursday's game will spark his struggling team.
Milwaukee has lost 10 of its last 14 games, including a 12-4 loss to the New York Mets last night.
The Brewers entered today tied for first in the N.L. Central with the Chicago Cubs, just weeks after leading the division by eight games.
Yost says today he hopes yesterday's incident shows the desire and intensity they have to win.
The skirmish happened after the Mets scored three runs in the seventh inning, helped by shortstop J.J. Hardy's error.
When the half-inning ended, catcher Johnny Estrada and Yost got into a heated dispute in the tunnel leading from the dugout to the clubhouse.
Yost declined to give specifics of the incident.
Published reports say Estrada and infielder Tony Graffanino were sticking up for an unnamed player that Yost had singled out for poor play.

- In a medium bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and milk. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press in the bread crumbs to coat. Place coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded cutlets until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter, and pour the pan juices over them. Garnish with lemon slices.

This recipe is very similar to the 1950's Luchow recipe...it's astoundingly good. I make mine without the breadcrumbs, and with only one egg. Also, I do a sour cream mushroom gravy to go with it. Once the chops are removed from the pan to a warm plate, I saute mushrooms and shallots in a 2 tbsp of butter and a tbs or two of brandy, and stir in 2 tbs of fresh sour cream...it's a yummy finisher to this most delicious of recipes.
Nice good to put a drop or two of water between the veal and the plastic as it helps the meat to be able to spread. the 3 minutes a side depends on the thickness of the veal...the recipe implies about 4 oz cutlets, which can be easily pounded out to a thiness that would cook in that amount of time. But it has to be 1/4 of an inch or so to cook enough in this time so be advised you'll need thin veal to start, not veal chops or something.

Boy did we love this! Thanks to spiderfarmer for the topping tip (mushrooms, brandy & shallots), that really made it just perfection. My husband was most impressed.

Comments about Time Roc Atac Mountain Pedals:
I installed these petals late last summer and have ridden maybe 5-8 times with them. Then the right pedal began to float back and forth on the shaft. I took it off and replaced it with an old petal so that I could ride again thinking that I just needed to tighen the axle nut. Then, two rides later, the left pedal did the same thing! I took the first one apart an found that the bearing had essentially disintegrated. It had maybe half the ball bearings and the rest of them were metal debris in the grease! That is what allowed the nut to float back and forth on the shaft.
I have had Time petals for years and never had a problem. That is why I purchased two new pairs when the old ones on my two bikes wore out. The ones I received are absolute junk compared to the old ones that lasted for 6 years. I will be returning them under warrenty tomorrow but if the replacement ones have the same design, then I will only get 3 months out of them too! What happened to quality?
Best Uses
Comments about Time Roc Atac Mountain Pedals:
This was my first clipless pedal in nearly 20 years of riding. The price was right and so far the pedals have been great. Once I got used to getting in and out of them they have been very easy to use and feel more comfortable than my old flat pedals with the cage. I feel like I have more freedom of movement and control over the ability to unclip in emergencies(commuting in the city with some not always bike friendly drivers). I tried two other pedals, a flat clipless pedal and another SPD type before purchasing these and overall I felt these were the easiest to use, and were a great pedal for the money.
Comments about Time Roc Atac Mountain Pedals:
Only 50-60 miles on these so far, but these are a big step up in comfort from my SPDs! The wider foot contact feels better. Only complaint is that they can be a little slow to engage/disengage, but I assume that's due to the very wide float angles.
Comments about Time Roc Atac Mountain Pedals:
These were highly recommended and rightly so. Great for a first timer on clips.

Comments about Time Roc Atac Mountain Pedals:
This is my second set and only because my first set is still on my old bike. The only complaint would be that its not beginner friendly. It was hard to get in and out of when making the switch to clipless. I have beat the snot out of these pedals and have never had a problem getting in or out of them.

Preserves open to public
A recent story in the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported a claim that The Nature Conservancy was denying use of land we own for the 2011 Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race.
I want to take this opportunity to clarify an important point: Race organizers were never denied permission to use Conservancy property.
The race took place, and we are happy to host the race on our property again.
Our staff worked with the race organizers to grant permission with the provision that they must have appropriate liability insurance in case of any incident on our property.
We agreed to accept the same level of coverage as the other private landowners, including the State of Michigan, to help them succeed in having the race, and it went forward as planned.
The Nature Conservancy's preserves are open to the public as long as that access is safe for both the public and the resources we are charged to protect.
We allow hunting and fishing on our preserves where safe and appropriate, and have several designated snowmobiles trails that cross our property.
I hope this clarifies our involvement with the Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race — we are happy with a successful outcome for all.
Helen Taylor
The writer is state director for The Nature Conservancy in Michigan

FORT MILL — Surrounded by the smell of fresh peaches and handmade soaps, Fort Mill residents reconnected July 13 during opening day of the town's first farmer's market.
The market, to be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through fall in First Baptist's parking lot, aims to bring together members of the community and increase support for local businesses, said David Ward, chairman of the Fort Mill Economic Council.
"We felt this was a need," he said. "We want to have the support of the whole community."
The market is managed by the council, which started the project in February, in cooperation with the town of Fort Mill. The market is leasing the parking lot from First Baptist.
Four vendors came out opening day to sell their local goods. Ward hopes the market will have many more additions in the future.
The first market drew more than 200 customers. Ward said the market gives people a chance to meet their neighbors.
"It's what your community is all about," he said.
Springs Farm's Ron Edwards said he came out to support the town.
"The community has supported us for so many years," he said. "We want to support the community."
Springs brought fresh corn, tomatoes, peaches and watermelon. The farm grows seven acres of peaches, 25 acres of strawberries and 10 acres of other vegetables, Edwards said.
Because of the wet weather, growing conditions have not been right for okra or blackberries, but Edwards said they hope to bring those to future markets.
The market allows people access to healthy foods, said Rudy Sanders, an Economic Council member and past chairman of the Fort Mill History Museum.
He said other markets have been held in the past in different locations.
"I'm excited that green growers are finally returning to Fort Mill," he said. "It gives people the opportunity to get some high-nutrient vegetables."
Fort Mill resident Katie O'Brien enjoyed the variety at the market. She left with homemade soap, fresh cookies and peaches.
"I enjoy supporting local vendors," she said. "I can't wait to see what else they bring."
Fort Mill residents Kevin and Emily Ward also came out to support local businesses. Emily said she wants to "encourage local farmers to be successful and stay."
Kevin said he wants to support the local economy.
The market has already started to boost local businesses, as Sand Creek Soaps representative Kathy Schneider experienced. By 10 a.m., she had already made a trip home for more handcrafted, natural soap.
"More people are going organic and natural," she said. "It's really good for your skin."
Elesha Reimink of Fort Mill sold her handmade headbands and bags. Reimink started making jewelry a few years ago as a less expensive way to accessorize, but soon realized she wanted to expand her craft. At Elesha Andrea Designs, people can find handmade scarves, pin cushions and other accessories. Reimink said she recently started working with Indian textiles.
"They are really fun and beautiful," she said.
For her fellow "Walking Dead" fans, Reimink's zombie-styled pin cushion will soon be available. She also takes custom orders.
The council also plans to partner with local restaurants to hold demonstrations and classes on healthy eating at future markets, said Louis Roman.
"It's a great thing that's happening here," he said.
To learn more about the market and how to be a vendor, call 803-207-0851.

ST. LOUIS — Stan Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals star with the corkscrew stance and too many batting records to fit on his Hall of Fame plaque, died Saturday. He was 92.
Stan the Man was so revered in St. Louis that he has two statues outside Busch Stadium — one just wouldn't do him justice. He was one of baseball's greatest hitters, shining in the mold of Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio even without the bright lights of the big city.
Musial won seven National League batting titles, was a three-time MVP and helped the Cardinals capture three World Series championships in the 1940s.
The Cardinals announced Musial's death in a news release. They said he died Saturday evening at his home in Ladue surrounded by family. The team said Musial's son-in-law, Dave Edmonds, informed the club of Musial's death.
"We have lost the most beloved member of the Cardinals family," team chairman William DeWitt Jr. said. "Stan Musial was the greatest player in Cardinals history and one of the best players in the history of baseball."
Musial was the second baseball Hall of Famer who died Saturday. Longtime Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver also passed away, at age 82.
Musial spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and made the All-Star team 24 times — baseball held two All-Star games each summer for a few seasons.
A pitcher in the low minors until he injured his arm, Musial turned to playing the outfield and first base. It was a stroke of luck for him, as he went on to hit .331 with 475 home runs before retiring in 1963.
Widely considered the greatest Cardinals player ever, the outfielder and first baseman was the first person in team history to have his number retired.

A Deposit man was killed in a two-vehicle crash in the town of Deposit on Thursday night, state police at Deposit said.
Robert W. Stanton, 43, was declared dead at the scene, a media release from Deposit troopers said, and the body was taken to Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton for an autopsy ordered by Dr. Richard Ucci, Delaware County coroner.
Troopers, who were dispatched by Delaware County 911, said the crash happened at the intersection of state Route 17 and Evans Road at about 11 p.m. Thursday.
Eduaro Martirosyn, 31, of Toronto, was driving a tractor-trailer for Advance Fast Freight Inc. of Woodbridge, Ontario, east-bound on Route 17, the release said, when the collision occurred.
Stanton, of Evans Road, who was driving a Chevrolet Monte Carlo, entered Route 17 and was traveling north-bound, trying to cross the east-bound lanes of Route 17 to turn left onto the west-bound lanes, the release said.
The tractor-trailer struck the driver's side of the Stanton vehicle, which was propelled across the intersection and came to rest in the west-bound lane of Route 17. Stanton was ejected from his vehicle and came to rest in the same lane, just west of the car, the release said.
The tractor-trailer came to rest in the center median guide rails and had heavy front-end damage, troopers said, and Martirosyn wasn't hurt in the collision.
Authorities said a stretch of Route 17 was closed for more than eight hours after the collision, the Associated Press reported Friday.
A state police accident-reconstruction team responded, along with a trooper from the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit to assist Deposit troopers.
The Deposit Volunteer Fire Department and the state Department of Transportation also responded, the release said, and the investigation continues.

Bill Haslam a Billionaire? His Brother Is (says Forbes)
During the 2010 governor's race, Bill Haslam rejected assertions by GOP primary rival Zach Wamp that he was a billionaire, but Haslam wouldn't say what his net worth was nor share his income tax returns with voters, observes Andy Sher.
Well, it turns out there's at least one billionaire in the Haslam family, which founded Pilot Travel Centers, a privately held company that later merged with Flying J truck stop centers.
The governor's brother, Jimmy Haslam, made Forbes Magazine's latest annual list of the 400 richest Americans this week. The magazine puts the net worth of Jimmy Haslam, CEO of the Pilot Flying J chain of truck stops, at $1.2 billion. That drew a ranking of 360 among the 400 wealthiest Americans.
Jimmy Haslam recently bought the Cleveland Browns in a deal estimated at $1 billion. In late July, Forbes reported the governor's brother "should have the cash to pull off the deal. He's part of a powerful family worth more than $3 billion."
The governor; his father, Jim Haslam II; and other families have major interests in Pilot Flying J. Haslam put his non-Pilot holdings in a blind trust but kept his holdings in Pilot out of it.
Here's the referenced excerpt from from a Forbes article while the Cleveland Browns deal was pending.
But Haslam should have the cash to pull of the deal. He's part of a powerful family worth more than $3 billion. Jim Haslam II, his father, founded Pilot Flying J, the biggest operator of travel centers in North America and the 11th largest private company in the U.S. Jimmy, the oldest son, has run the business for years as CEO and President. He brought in $17.8 billion in revenues in 2011.
All told, the Haslams own 59 percent of Pilot Flying J, making them one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in Tennessee, where the company is based. They've certainly exerted that influence. Bill Haslam, Jimmy's younger brother, worked for Pilot for a decade before jumping into politics. After seven years as Knoxville mayor, he's now the governor of Tennessee.

BOSTON – A Massachusetts woman got a big surprise when she used her Honda's key fob to pop the trunk on her car. The rear of the car exploded.
Debris went flying all around, but thankfully no one was hurt.
Investigators said the car itself was not an issue; it was what the woman had in the trunk. They believe fumes from some household items built up in the trunk, and it ignited when she went to unlock the vehicle.

June Jones – Oversigner
The SEC is not alone on the topic of oversigning...
Stumbled across a nice little article, it's a little dated but still good to see this stuff show up on the radar.
"In February, SMU released nine players from scholarship due to "failure to adhere to our department policies and/or team rules". While I'm sure there was justification for their dismissal, would coach June Jones have been so quick with the ax had he not just signed 26 fresh faces just nine days earlier? It should be noted that five of the dismissed players appealed having their scholarships revoked and three players won their appeal."
Glad to hear a few of those kids won their appeal. This type of oversigning seems to fall into the category of "new coach comes in and wants to gut the team." We'll need to do some digging, but it doesn't appear that Jones has a history of oversigning...we'll follow up on this.

50 years ago
Dec. 11, 1963
Voters in the Oneonta City School District confounded even the most optimistic of experts Tuesday when 82 percent of them approved a $2 million bond issue to build two new elementary schools.
A total of 2,033 residents approved the schools, while only 445 voters rejected the measure proposed by the Board of Education. The proposal calls for schools in the Sixth Ward and Greater Plains.
The vote exceeded by 22 percent the required 60 percent needed.
It was the most lopsided vote since the school board began its crusade for new schools back in 1953.
By comparison, 2,616 district voters turned out in May of 1962 to vote for the new Senior High School versus 946 against, for a percentage of 73.44.
Even such optimistic proponents of the new schools as former mayor and school board member Roger Hughes, expressed surprise at the "landslide" victory.
Board President Colone made the official statement of the Board of Education.
He said, "Speaking for the Board of Education, we, in humble spirit and deep gratitude, express our sincere thanks to the wonderful people of this progressive community.
"We are mindful of the financial sacrifice they have agreed to undertake.
"We are confident that the many children to be housed and educated in the two new schools will, in their own genuine and sincere fashion, express a million thanks to the citizens for the gift of new schools.
"The Board wishes to thank the Citizens' Committee, The Star, Radio Station WDOS, and all who contributed to this momentous decision."

Valparaiso (3-21, 1-10 HL)
Youngstown State (11-12, 7-3 HL)
2/15/2014 | Youngstown, Ohio - Beeghly Center | Attendance: 1421
Related Links
Saturday, February 15, 2014
Charae Richardson (Lafayette, Ind./Jefferson [Vincennes]) had her best offensive output since Dec. 1st, but Youngstown State drained a season-best 13 three-pointers in an 84-56 win over the Brown and Gold at the Beeghly Center in Ohio.
The fifth-year senior matched a season-high nine field goals as her 19 points paced the Crusader offense. Richardson also recorded two steals to extend her steal streak to 13 games.
Youngstown State (11-12, 7-3 Horizon) extended a one-possession lead to nine points on back-to-back triples from Monica Touvelle. Abby Dean (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) and Sharon Karungi (Kampala, Uganda/[Northern Oklahoma College]) knocked down jumpers on consecutive trips down the court to cut Valpo's deficit to five at 18-13.
Liz Hornberger scored the next five YSU points as the Penguins enjoyed their first double-digit lead with eight and a half minutes to play in the first half.
Richardson trimmed it to eight right out of the under 8:00 media timeout with a layup, but Youngstown responded with a 13-2 run to move comfortably ahead 36-17 going into the final media break of the half.
A Lexi Miller (Caledonia, Mich./Caledonia) lay-in moved Valpo to within 12 points with 18 seconds on the clock. YSU's Hornberger put the finishing touches on a fine first half with a deep three at the buzzer to give the Penguins a 42-27 halftime lead.
Hornberger was 4-for-4 from beyond the arc as her 14 points led all scorers at the break. Overall, Youngstown State shot 9-of-15 from three-point range in the first half.
A 15-3 Penguin push over the final six and a half minutes blew the game wide open as YSU capitalized on a 19-1 free throw advantage.
Karungi finished with twelve points for the Crusaders, as the junior has now tallied doubled figures in back-to-back-to-back games for the first time since December 6th-13th.
Liz Horton (Cannelburg, Ind./Barr-Reeve) missed her first game of the season with a back injury. The senior is considered day-to-day.
Valpo matched a season-best in offensive rebounds allowed with six. The Crusaders committed just 14 turnovers for the second straight game.
The Penguin bench outscored Valpo's 32-5 in Saturday's win. Touvelle made four of her seven attempts from outside to register 14 points.
Valparaiso (3-21, 1-10 Horizon) will have a week off before it returns to the court to host Oakland (11-13, 6-5 Horizon) at the ARC in a 7:05 tip.
Next Saturday will serve as Valpo's Play 4 Kay/Pink Zone game as well as the Father-Daughter Game. Survivors will be honored prior to the game with a presentation of the game ball and t-shirts signifying their biggest defeat of all: cancer. Furthermore, each pair of father/daughter(s) that attend the game will receive a replica jersey and team-autographed poster for each daughter. The cost is $10 for each father/daughter pair and $4 for each additional daughter.

2012 Presidential wha…?
As a Brit living in Japan, completely separated from the Western world and completely uninterested in politics, here is how I understand this 2012 Presidential Election and the current state of America going only by what I read from people on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, not my personal opinions, as I have none;
- If you vote you have to tell the world you voted or everyone will think you didn't vote and hate you.
- If you don't vote you have helped cause the destruction of America.
- However, voting for Obama is okay but voting for Romney is a bad.
- Voting for Romney will cause the end of the USA and the end of the world.
- Even if Obama wins, America is going to shit.
- America has Obama to thank for everything.
UK and European elections are always so nice and quiet, I have no idea how every time there is a presidential election, whatever the outcome is, America (and the world) is potentially "doomed".
Can't we just all calm down over a cup of tea and biscuits guys.

At first inspection, it doesn't seem like a concept that would work, never mind flow together on the taste buds. Asian food and Mexican flavors are about as different as night is to day, right?
Perhaps, that was the way Allen Chen, who grew up working in his father traditional Chinese restaurants, once would have seen it.
A former jack-of-all-trades who did everything from wash dishes to bus tables at his family's restaurants China Palace and Sushi Too, Chen, 35, admits he had no interest in working in the restaurant business.
"You kind of want to do your own thing that's different from your parents," he said.
That was before he graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder and spent the next four years living in Mexico—and having a love affair with its food.
"That's where I fell in love with the culture," he said. "I absolutely loved it down there."
He also discovered many of the bold flavors in Latin food and Asian cuisine worked to compliment each other. Several years after his return to Pittsburgh, he opened Tamari, an Asian-fusion restaurant in Lawrenceville, to great success. The award-winning restaurant celebrates its third anniversary in June.
"What we brought was something completely new to the table," said Chen, who lives just a few blocks from his Lawrenceville eatery. "There was nothing else like that."
Following a trend of hip Pittsburgh restaurants opening locations north of the city—including BRGR in Cranberry and the soon-to-open Doublewide Grill in Adams Township—Chen opened his second Tamari last month in the Warrendale Village retail plaza in Warrendale.
With a location on Route 19 at the border of Cranberry and Wexford and just off the Warrendale exit of Interstate 79, Chen said he is hoping the new venture draws clientele from across the North Hills.
"A lot of independent operators are recognizing the North Hills and the demand of the customers up here," he said. "They want all the dining options"
Like the location in Lawrenceville, the Warrendale restaurant is an elegant, urban space with cool, clean lines. It seats 160 people and in the summer will feature outdoor dining.
The restaurant's name comes from a phrase in Argentina that means, "to do everything with passion." Tamari also is a type of soy sauce in Asian culture. Finding a word with meaning is both cultures was kismet, Chen said.
"It perfectly captures what we do," he said.
The menu is divided into two portions, sushi and tapas—or small plates. The style of dining is European, Chen said, and patrons are encouraged to choose a variety of the dishes to taste and share.
"What we really encourage here is mixing and matching," Chen said.
Traditional Asian and Latin flavors work in harmony in small delights like Peking Duck Quesadillas and empanadas with lemongrass chicken. There also are unusual dishes like Beef Tongue Tacos. On the sushi menu, the lobster roll is a specialty maki accompanied by a side of mouthwateringly succulent lobster fritters.
"Our customers come to Tamari to get things they can't find anywhere else," Chen said. "That's what we pride ourselves on."
Philadelphia native Roger Li—who owned the now-defunct New Moon Fusion on Pittsburgh's North Shore—worked with Chen to create the menu. Chen recalls dining at Li's restaurant and being very impressed by his food. When New Moon Fusion closed, Chen invited Li to become executive chef for the Lawrenceville location. Li also is executive chef for Tamari in Warrendale.
Since the restaurant's opening on Jan. 17, Chen said simple word of mouth has led a flow of customers through the Tamari's glass doors. About two weeks ago, the restaurant also opened for lunch.
"The reception we got has been overwhelming," he said.
