Four Pitchers Lead Valpo Past Youngstown State
Wednesday, May 19, 2004Valparaiso, Ind. - Matt Gillikin, Glendon Seal, Adam Paetznick and Adam Knobel held Youngstown State scoreless in eight of the nine innings as Valpo defeated the Penguins 3-1.
Jeff Rickert and Colin Reynolds had one hit and one RBI each, while Brian Rzepka added two hits for the Crusaders.
After Youngstown State tallied a run in the first inning on Charles Schultz's RBI single, Valpo tied the game in the second when Kevin Kutansky tripled and touched home on Reynolds' RBI single.
Valpo (17-33) took the lead for good in the third with an unearned run. Rzepka belted a one-out double and went to third when Rickert blooped a hit up the middle over the head of the second baseman. Rickert turned the hit into a double by hustling into an uncovered second base. Rzepka scored when the Penguins' shortstop threw wildly to the pitcher, who was late in covering second.
The Crusaders increased their lead to 3-1 by tacking on an insurance run in the fifth. Rzepka led off the frame with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by the catcher. Rickert followed with an RBI groundout to the shortstop.
In a pre-determined pitching order, Gillikin (3-2) allowed one run and four hits in 4 innings. The sophomore righty struck out one and walked one. Seal fanned three in 2 hitless and scoreless innings. Adam Paetznick followed with 2 scoreless frames and Adam Knobel hurled a scoreless 9th, striking out two in earning his fifth save.
Frank Santore (0-1) started for YSU (18-30), allowing two earned runs and seven hits. The senior righthander struck out five and walked three.
Valpo hosts Chicago State in Mid-Continent Conference doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday beginning at noon each day. The Crusaders (8-12 Mid-Con) are battling Southern Utah (10-10), Oakland (9-11) and Centenary (8-10) for one of two spots in the four-team Mid-Con Tournament to be held May 27-29 in Shreveport, La. on the campus of Centenary College.

Associated Press
BLACKSBURG, Va. —
Virginia Tech point guard Erick Green stepped to the free-throw line late in the Hokies' game against Rhode Island, needing just two points to top his career high.
And the 78 percent career free-throw shooter proceeded to miss both of them.
"I didn't know I was close to my career (high) until I got to the foul line and Jarell Eddie said, 'You going for 30 tonight,"' Green said. "I looked up and saw I had 25, and then I missed those two free throws. I just lost focus. But it's all good. I'm glad we got the win."
Missing those two free throws was about the only thing Green did wrong on Monday night, as the senior tied his career high with 25 points to lift the Hokies past Rhode Island 69-50.
Green scored 17 of his 25 in the first half, as Virginia Tech (2-0) jumped out to a 13-0 lead and never trailed. Rhode Island missed its first seven shots from the floor and didn't score in the first 5:08 of the game.
The Rams (0-2) cut the lead to 28-24 on a basket by Xavier Munford with 1:59 left in the first half. But the Hokies scored the last eight points of the half — six of those coming on two Green 3-pointers — to take a 36-24 lead at halftime.
Rhode Island got no closer than 11 the rest of the game. The Rams had a chance to cut the lead to nine with 10:02 remaining, but Nikola Malesevic missed a layup, and Green responded for the Hokies by making two free throws with 9:46 left to push the lead back to 13. Virginia Tech led by as many as 21 in the second half.
"We've got a lot to work on, but the goal has been, from day 1, to get better every day, and I thought we took a step forward from Saturday night (against East Tennessee State)," first-year Virginia Tech coach James Johnson said. "I've seen a lot from this team.
"We got a team effort on the defensive end, and I thought it started with the first possession of the game. We forced a shot-clock violation, and that set the tone for the game."
Malesevic's missed layup was part of a terrible shooting night for the Rams, who made just 33.9 percent from the floor (20 of 59). Even worse, they made just 1 of 21 from beyond the 3-point arc.
"We actually shot better (Monday night) than we did in our opener," first-year Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley said. "They're size and athleticism relative to where we're at currently was a factor. They're a well-coached team, and a team that played every possession. We have such a small margin for error. We don't have a post game, and if we don't make shots from the perimeter — and we haven't to this point in the season — it's hard to get consistent scoring."
"In the first half, we came out strong, but we always have this problem where we let teams come back in the game," Green said. "On the defensive end, we still had a lot of mistakes, and rebounding, I think they out-rebounded us on the offensive end (13-10).
"We did a good job, but I want to do a great job. When we play in the ACC, we've got to be able to be great to beat those guys. I'm proud of our defense, but I want to be great on defense."
Green, in particular, was great on offense. He hit 8 of 15 from the floor, including four 3-pointers. He made 5 of 8 from the free-throw line, and he also dished out four assists.
Robert Brown scored 12 for the Hokies, and Cadarian Raines recorded his first career double-double, with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Munford led the Rams with 24 points.
RHODE ISLAND (0-2) — Malesevic 1-7 4-4 6, Brooks 1-1 0-0 2, Powell 1-12 1-2 3, Munford 11-22 1-5 24, Malone 2-6 3-3 7, Bigby 2-3 0-0 4, Hare 2-3 0-2 4, Buchanan 0-1 0-0 0, Aaman 0-4 0-0 0. Totals 20-59 9-16 50.
VIRGINIA TECH (2-0) — Raines 4-4 2-3 10, Eddie 4-11 0-0 9, Barksdale 1-3 0-0 2, Brown 5-12 1-2 12, Green 8-15 5-8 25, Van Zegeren 1-2 0-2 2, Patrick 0-2 2-2 2, Beyer 0-0 0-0 0, Racer 0-0 0-0 0, Johnston 1-1 0-0 3, Wood 2-7 0-0 4. Totals 26-57 10-17 69.
Halftime—Virginia Tech 36-24. 3-Point Goals—Rhode Island 1-21 (Munford 1-9, Malesevic 0-1, Aaman 0-1, Malone 0-4, Powell 0-6), Virginia Tech 7-21 (Green 4-7, Johnston 1-1, Eddie 1-4, Brown 1-4, Wood 0-5).

Randall Lane, Forbes Staff
I edit Forbes Magazine, and posit on business, politics--and food!
After years of silence, former Apple Apple CEO John Sculley has recently been moving more into retrospective mode. On Thursday, Sculley gave perhaps his fullest public account ever of the circumstances surrounding Apple's firing of Steve Jobs, spending eight extemporaneous and uninterrupted minutes on the most infamous human resource decision in business history.
The setting was as unusual as the soliloquy: Bali, Indonesia, where 400 of the most powerful people in the world, including over 50 Asian billionaires, had gathered for 13th annual Forbes Global CEO Conference. Sculley was sitting on a panel on leadership, along with the likes of Hong Kong real estate tycoon Ronnie Chan and Rockefeller Foundation president Judith Rodin, when an audience member asked Sculley about the firing. The ballroom then sat in rapt silence as Sculley delved into details, cast blame and reflected on lessons learned.
The video can be seen here:
"I'm always surprised that people never ask the question: how could two individuals like Steve Jobs and I, who were supposedly inseparable — we were together all the time, we were great personal friends — how we could we end up in one of these amazing, celebrated clashes?"
The answer? "I really blame the board," said Sculley, who was recruited from Pepsi in 1983 to bring order to Apple – and Jobs. "Because I think the board understood Apple before I came, they understood Steve. They knew what my experience was and what it wasn't. And I really believe there could have been a solution to keep me and Steve working together, because we were really good friends up until that point."
Sculley went into great detail on the circumstances leading up to Jobs' dismissal. It stemmed, he said, from the introduction of the second-generation Mac, the Macintosh Office. The 1985 product launch, Sculley recalled, had been "ridiculed" as a "toy," a victim of too much ambition for the relatively small amount of computing power then available ("it just couldn't do very much").
"Steve went into a deep depression," Sculley said. As a result, "Steve came to me and he said, 'I want to drop the price of the Macintosh and I want to move the advertising, shift a large portion of it away from the Apple 2 over to the Mac."
"I said, 'Steve, it's not going to make any difference. The reason the Mac is not selling has nothing to do with the price or with the advertising. If you do that, we risk throwing the company into a loss.' And he just totally disagreed with me."
"And so I said, "Well, I'm gonna go to the board. And he said, 'I don't believe you'll do it. And I said: Watch me."
As outlined in Walter Isaacson's biography, Jobs and Sculley presented their cases separately. Sculley told the crowd that Apple vice chairman Mike Markkula was assigned to study the issue and present a report. "Seven or eight days later, he came back to the board and said, 'I agree with John, I don't agree with Steve.'"
"Steve didn't at that age know much about running companies. Apple had failed with Lisa, had failed with the Apple 3. The Apple 2 was near end of life, the company needed cash flow to fund development of the Macintosh."
The board empowered Sculley to remove Jobs as head of the Mac division, and eventually, as the Apple founder continued to agitate, as chairman of the company. "What would have happened if we hadn't have had that showdown?…I did not have the breadth of experience at that time to really appreciate just how different leadership is when you are shaping an industry, as Bill Gates did or Steve Jobs did, versus when you're a competitor in an industry, in a public company, where you don't make mistakes because if you lose, you're out."
"My sense is that there could have been a different outcome."
"He was not a great executive back in those early days. The great Steve Jobs that we know today as maybe the world's greatest CEO, certainly of our era, he learned a lot in those years in the wilderness."
Sculley's biggest regret? "I feel most badly, though, [because] after 10 years, I was at the company, I wanted to go back to New York where I was from. Why I didn't go to Steve Jobs and say, 'Steve, let's figure out how you can come back and lead your company.' I didn't do that, it was a terrible mistake on my part. I can't figure out why I didn't have the wisdom to do that. But I didn't. And as life has it, shortly after that, I was fired."
"Those lessons that I got along the way are the ones that have shaped my life for the last 20 years."
There's a lot more if you watch the entire video (see above).
What prompted Sculley's long, contemplative answer? Sculley clearly didn't appreciate Ashton Kutcher's recent Steve Jobs biopic. ("For those of us who knew him well, [we're] scratching our heads what they were thinking of when they wrote this movie," he said earlier in the day.) Nostalgia, fueled by Jobs' passing, surely plays a role. ("I was with him when he would cry, I was with him when he was scared.") Chalk it up mostly, though, to the passage of time. "The older you get, the less inhibited you get," the 74-year-old shrugged to me after the panel. Either way, the audience appreciated the candor. The man who fired Steve Jobs received a spontaneous wave of applause.

Also on Forbes:
Because Sculley's ego wouldn't let him…you see these people with their huge egos think after working at Pepsi, they can come in and run a totally different type of high tech manufacturing company….can't do it…Same as Whitman with HP…they have a different background and the boards bring them in hoping for miracle workers…
I said the same thing in more detail, see my post below.
What about Lou Gerstner who turned around IBM right after being CEO of RJR Nabisco?
I think you're partially right. Yes, executives at a lot of companies are cultivated to have large egos and admit no fault. But Scully didn't come to Apple and say, "Hey, I can run this company," so much as he was recruited. What really got him to come over was when he was asked point blank, "Look, do you really want to sell sugar-water your whole life?"
Never put non techie people into CEO position at tech companies, they run it down. Sculley should never have been recruited to lead Apple, he might have been great at Pepsi. MBAs, Business Managers, CFOs can count $ very well, but lack the Science, Engineering, and technology skill and expertise to have a vision, without having a vision tech companies die. Tech companies constantly have to reinvent themselves, and invent new technologies that don't exist yet, needs Science, and Engineering background for that to happen in a CEO who needs to lead and show direction.
This is a common problem many tech companies have been facing. Founders come from science & engineering background, become CEOs, company booms, then it is taken over by Business Managers only to run it down. Some Examples are Intel, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Cisco, all these companies have stunted growth, all of these companies have one thing in common: Their later leaders, CEOs, Board members somehow got into tech companies without tech background, check their profiles. Recently Intel had a change of CEO, someone with Science background is in place, Microsoft will have a change soon.; now they have recognized the problem and going back to the old model, placing CEOs who were engineers, or scientists at one time in their career. But the damage has been done already.
except, steve jobs wasnt from a science or engineering background. liberal arts. and thats what makes their design so refreshing, useful, and friendly.
Do you consider Jobs a great CEO? He was not a technologist. A visionary, yes, but not a technologist. Go Reed College :)
Agree. You can add Nokia in that list of companies. On the other hand Scully was perfect chose for brand marketing. And I think he and Steve made a perfect team together with Mike Markkula.
Sculley was weak, lacked experience, loyalty, and humanity then and he is still the same now.
The Steve Jobs movie should have been nerd porn but it ended being a vehicle for Ashton Kutcher to stroke his own ego.
For this is not about whether John Sculley's background was the right one for Apple, but about the important lessons for entrepreneurial companies that must survive not only in the marketplace but with their shareholders.
There is little question among any I have read that suggests that Steve Jobs' experience during his time away from Apple was anything but highly contributory to Apple's success when he returned.
Well – thank you for the hindsight – now that Steve is no longer here to give his side (if he wanted) or just refute your version.
Let's face it… you blundered…. YOU must've blundered (BigTime)… because Steve Jobs went on to become what the world now sees as one of the best, creative CEO's ever…. and you, well, you are just an also ran that wouldn't even have name recognition had it not been for the blunder you made. Your name should forever be remembered synonymously with 'blunder'… as in "I just 'scullied' that project". (meaning; I just blundered/f-d up that project so bad I should be fired).
That should be your legacy.
My god, I hope I didn't just 'scully' this post….
Scully makes some good point in explaining why he did what he did but I don't understand one thing: why blame the former board of Apple? That's a little too easy.
How convenient for Sculley to come out now that the other party is no longer with us, and therefore can not substantiate any of it. It is a self-serving reflection.
Sounds pretty legit to me dude.
Steve Jobs, a man ahead of his time.
Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography (and Jobs' own comments within it), Steven Wozniak's comments about the Jobs movie staring Ashton Kutcher, and Sculley's comments here, are all in agreement: Jobs became a great CEO after being fired from Apple and making his own way with his successes and failures at NeXT and Pixar. In fact, I believe I recall Jobs being quoted by Isaacson as saying his ouster from Apple was the best thing that could have happened to him.
Yeah, I agree with that. Just because Jobs was a great CEO, it doesn't mean that he had all the tools 30 years ago. Fact is, Steve had a lot of problems back then. How many of us have never been fired from a job? A lot of have at one time or another, I was fired from a job 15 years ago. It's not always a bad thing, especially if you learn from it and do better next time.
It sounds like Sculley was just covering his own buttocks. If the move had failed, the CEO takes the heat and damage to his reputation. Jobs probably wouldn't care about that.
But who knows how different things may have been if he wasn't "fired"? He may have never become the great leader he was. Jobs said himself that getting fired was the best thing that could have happened to him. It led to the creation of NeXT, Pixar, and of course the Apple Inc. as we know it today.
It's funny to see those saying great tech companies get ruined by money-managing executives who lack vision and innovation. That seems to be exactly what Apple is going through now. Why else would the most powerful brand in the world (no offense, Coca-Cola and Oprah Winfrey) start selling cheapo iPhones with less features and crappier aesthetics/materials? And this is supposed to excite us? Meanwhile, the "high-end" iPhone 5s gets a mere finger-print recognition and more pretty colors. And let's not forget the ever-aging iPad, whose only true benefit is the iTunes and App store that Steve built.
And when did this all start happening? When Steve left. More specifically, when it was time for Tim Cook to shine. A quick search for 'Tim Cook' today reveals the top Google results being: Articles explaining how Cook has had ZERO great ideas for Apple since he took over. He benefited from Steve's work and is super rich because of it.
So in short: While China expansion and cheaper iPhones to sell in lower-income markets will boost Apple's bottom line, the damage to the brand's reputation is going to be extremely difficult to win back. The new iPhone 5s should have been awe-inspiring. Instead, it's just a new product with a couple novelty features to generate a few bucks. It's not too late to turn things around.
As a Reed College graduate (many years ago), I have always thought that what Jobs got out of Reed (he was only there a short time) was typography and handwriting as taught by Professor Lloyd Reynolds. Reynolds' course was heavy on handwriting, printing and bookbinding.
Jobs, though, was wrong on a lot of things. For example, he cast IBM as his principal opponent when it was really Microsoft. Later, he castigated Microsoft for 'stealing' Windows when Jobs, himself, lifted the concepts from Xerox (which didn't have a clue about desktop metaphorics).
Admitting a mistake is important…and equally important is to admit ON TIME, AND make the correction immediately…those who believe they do not make mistakes, and those who (therefore) do not make up…miss the chance to contribute, to give back..commensurate with their size..when they admit, when they make up !
Also, MOST IMPORTANT…THE ENTREPRENEUR IS THE REAL KING, not the boards, not the funders/VCs/self-styled "Angels (are they devils?)"…it is for the entrepreneur to realize that…it is the entrepreneur who makes the business work, not some business plan, not any Wharton, Harvard,..et al…look at Microsoft today…minus Gates the entrepreneur…and the proof stares you in the face !
Whatever happened to Wozniak whose contributions to Apple are seldom mentioned? I guess that inventors occupy a lower rung on the ladder.
Steve Jobs was, indeed, a primary influence on the world of computers but I have never understood why he has become a Saint.
I agree. I don't mind giving credit where credit is due, but I get really sick of the fawning articles where Steve Jobs is essentially canonized. He was a great CEO but let's not get ridiculous here. The fact is, Jobs is nothing without his employees. He wasn't building the micro-chips and programming the software himself.
It's ironic because we celebrate fearlessness, admire tenacity, grit, bootstrapping stories that reflect our pursuit of our passion against all odds, we want to believe relentlessly in our dream no matter the price (like Steve), but when it's time to put the metal to the pedal, there's so much fear and some cannot turn off the noise (Sculley). So much fear like… "I have to do things like everyone else. I have to answer to the board, I have to think like everyone else and if I don't think like everyone else, I will get fired too. We have to make money now, now, now…" So many whispers and voices vying for attention. So, if Steve didn't get fired, would he have been as fired up? I think that was the defining moment Steve dug in deeper, he went into the unknown, searched his soul, and came back out to become a force like a volcano. And you know what? The rest is history as they say.
Very honest opinion. Thanks for the great lesson John Sculley.
Wow. Talk about a lack of humility…

Reviews for Harvey Financial Planners
I went for several months without using Quicken, and of course by that time had forgotten much of what he taught me. I am not very technologically savvy, and although using the accounts he had set up was easy, by March 2014, I had deleted files and could not retrieve them. I had changed bank accounts, forgotten my password and couldn't find the paper I had written it on. In other words, I had totally messed up the systems he had set up. Once again I called him, and he came out promptly. He helped me re-organize the Quicken accounts, and in addition, set up accounts for my personal taxes. He actually enjoys taking on these challenges!

We originally had our trust drawn up by a prestigious law firm downtown that provided documents for a substantial sum in a nice padded binder with an audio presentation. Twelve years later I couldn't begin to explain to you what we had signed even after receiving a two hour in person presentation with one of the principals.

Sixty years ago this Saturday, the Supreme Court found state laws imposing segregation unconstitutional.
Progress has been made, but the nation has been slipping, according to a new report analyzing government data from UCLA's Civil Rights Project. And the states where segregation is most prevalent today are not the ones where it reached its boiling point in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Northeast was the only region where, on average, the share of black students in almost completely minority schools has risen since 1968, according to the report titled "Brown at 60: Great Progress, a Long Retreat and an Uncertain Future." More than half - 51.4 percent - of black students in those states in 2011 were in schools whose student populations were 90 percent to 100 percent minorities. In every other region of the country - the Midwest, West, South and "border" states - black students today are less likely to be in heavily minority schools.
New York is one of the most segregated states for black students. It has the highest rate of black students in high-minority schools and the lowest rate of black exposure to white students. Illinois is second on both measures. Maryland is third when it comes to the share of black students in high-minority schools and fourth-lowest when it comes to black exposure to white students. California, Michigan, New Jersey and Texas also rank highly among the indicators suggesting high rates of segregation among blacks.
West Virginia is the most integrated state across the board. The share of black students in majority-white schools is incredibly high - 92.6 percent. No black students attend schools where the minority population is above 90 percent and exposure of black students to white students is the highest in the nation. Iowa and Kentucky battle it out for the number two spot among the three measures. Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska also rank among the most integrated states for blacks.
The South had a long way to go. Even nine years after the Brown decision, 99 percent of blacks in the South were still in all-black schools. Segregation was effectively still in place. But in 1968, the Supreme Court ruled that states where segregation was worst had to desegregate completely and quickly. By 1970, Southern schools were the nation's most integrated.
Judicial and demographic changes have taken hold in the intervening years, of course, and other trends work against efforts to better integrate schools. Residential segregation is higher among school-aged children than the broader population, for example.
Critics also argue that a string of Supreme Court decisions in recent decades has unwound protections against segregation. A recent Stanford study found that a series of rulings in the 1990s removing judicial oversight from school districts has allowed schools to re-segregate.
"While the schools in these districts aren't becoming as segregated as they were before Brown, they are becoming much more segregated than they were 20 years ago," the paper's lead author, Stanford University's Sean Reardon, said in a statement at the time.
And the nation's demographic makeup has changed. The white share of the population has shed more than 10 percentage points since the 1960s and today stands at roughly 78 percent, according to census data. Blacks now account for 13 percent of the population, a gain of a few points since the 1960s. Hispanics are on the rise, too: Their share of the total population today is more than three times what it was in the 1970s.
Whatever the driving force, the national trend toward integration has not fared well in recent decades. The share of blacks in majority-white schools peaked in the late 1980s and is now back to 23 percent, where it was in 1968.
Today, a typical white student is likely to attend a school where about three in four students is also white. That means that an average white student looking around a typical 30-person classroom in her school will see 22 other white students, four Latinos, two blacks, an Asian and one more who would qualify under an "other" racial category.
A typical black student today would see 15 blacks, eight whites, five Latinos, one Asian and one student of another racial category.
A typical Latino student in a 30-person class would likely have 17 Latino classmates, eight white ones, three black and one Asian and one other.
An Asian student is likely to have 12 white classmates, seven Asian ones, seven Latino ones, three black ones and an "other."
Whites are most isolated - that is, they are more likely to see peers of a similar race around them. Latinos are next, followed by blacks and Asians.

Thundercone Fresh Hop Ale
"So musical a discord, such sweet thunder." -
A Midsummer Night's Dream, Wm Shakespeare
Gallery of the 2011 Edgefield Thundercone Brew
** Running of the Brewers! ** (video)
Autumn is arriving and, with it, McMenamins Fall Seasonal, "Thundercone Fresh Hop Ale", back for a fourth year. To celebrate the hop harvest in the Pacific Northwest, McMenamins brewers have decided to create a seasonal beer utilizing fresh, or undried, hops straight from the hop fields. Throwing caution to the wind and using seven different vehicles, over 1000 pounds of fresh Cascade hops were frantically delivered from Sodbuster Farms just north of Salem, OR to 22 McMenamins Breweries all over Washington and Oregon, henceforth known as "The Running of the Brewers". Each batch of "Thundercone Fresh Hop Ale" was brewed within hours of the hops being picked off of the vine. This was a daunting task but one that the McMenamins Brewers feel was well worth the monumental coordination involved. The resulting beer is an absolute fresh hop showcase.
Pilsner Malt was used as the base malt for this beer to impart a smooth foundation and Belgian Caramel Malt was thrown in for a little color and a slight maltiness. Dried Chinook hops were used as First Wort Hops and as a flavoring addition. But the real stars of the show are the fresh Cascade hops used for both flavoring and aroma. Five pounds of fresh Cascade hops per barrel were added in three different additions in every batch. These fresh Cascades overwhelm "Thundercone Fresh Hop Ale" with an earthy, raw hop decadence that can only come from fresh hops. It is a greener and more unadulterated flavor and aroma than comes from dried hops. The citrusy, flowery and grapefruit notes usually associated with Cascade hops are still present but with an amazing fresh hop funkiness added into the mix. This beer is so refreshing and hop-filled that you may think you are dreaming but, like Shakespeare's play, "Thundercone Fresh Hop Ale" is in reality a short lived dream come true.
Malts Used: Canada Malting Superior Pilsen Malt, Franco Belges Caramel Munich 40
Hops Used: Chinook (Bittering), Fresh Cascade (Flavor & Aroma)
Original Gravity: 1.061
Terminal Gravity: 1.013
Alcohol by Volume: 6.19%
IBU's: 56
Available at all McMenamins establishments starting September 12, 2014. Pours until this year's supply is gone. Note: Although growler/jar fills are fine, there are no keg or corny can sales available on Thundercone.

Craft responded to the demands placed on triathlon clothing by designing their Men's Performance Tri Short to be tougher than the toughest multi-sport athlete. It's a short so good, you'll want to race and train in it, for all your sports, all the time.
The Craft body-mapped fit, with smart paneling and flatlock stitching, stays with you no matter the activity. They went beyond category to use PolyButylene Terephthalate, aka PBT, fabric. PBT has great elasticity, and 100% elastic recovery, which is important when you're swimming, riding, and running in the same bottom. It has great colorfastness, which means it is resistant to fading. It is also very resistant to chemical corrosion and the yellowing that can occur at the hands of chlorine and other chemicals. It is soft and comfortable and washes well.
Craft stitches in their Men's Performance Tri Chamois, a gender- and sport-specific pad that boasts 4mm of padding by the sit bones and a mere 1.5mm on the outer edges for performance without slowing you down. The top is seamless, elastic, and anti-microbial, as you'd expect, but it's also resistant to other things. That includes water, sea water, and perspiration. Made to be sweat in and worked over.
Because you could be wearing these all day, there are two mesh pockets in back. Pockets because you need them. Mesh because nothing is lighter. The Craft Men's Performance Tri Short has silicone grippers at the bottom to hold the legs in place. The color is Black. Sizes run from Small to X-Large.

In celebration of National Poetry Month I'll be writing and posting a poem a day for the entirety of April. No haikus. Nothing about wheat, unless fermented. All of the poems can be found here.
Shhhhhh. Easy baby. Let's all take a breath here and relax.
I know I said it would just be one drink.
But, Dave had some whiskey baby.
And you know what the whiskey does to me baby.
And, Mondays are two-for-one night at the Bush Company,
and you're always telling me to be more financially responsible.
So to not stop in for a few adult beverages, some fried chicken,
and quick dance would've been working against our dream, baby.
Look, I know you're angry, baby. I get that.
But let's stop screaming and put down the blade, baby.
Let's drop the knife, turn off the Ani DiFranco, and talk.
Don't cry baby. Let me tell you why there's no flowers.

Almond Diseases Rob Yields and Tree Health
While there are numerous effective materials for controlling diseases in your almond orchard, disease resistance is a continuing threat to their efficacy. Resistance management is now a necessary component of all IPM programs in almonds.
The potential for resistance development is high with some of the newer classes of fungicides. For example, the pathogen that causes scab is becoming resistant to the strobilurin and benzimidazole fungicide classes, and pathogens that cause Alternaria leaf spot are losing their susceptibility to strobilurin fungicides. As a result, UC plant pathologists recommend making no more than four applications per season of strobilurins or carboxanilides to reduce the potential for increased resistance.
UC plant pathologists currently advise the following steps to maintain effective use of fungicides under high disease pressure that requires multiple fungicide applications:

Two leading African-American woman poet-playwrights--Lorna C. Hill and Annette Daniels Taylor--will read from their work tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. at Hallwalls Cinema, 341 Delaware Ave. (near Tupper St.) as featured guests of Earth's Daughters magazine's Gray Hair Reading Series. Admission to the event is $5.
Ms. Hill is a nationally-recognized poet, playwright, actress, teacher, theater director, radio series producer, and the founder and artistic director of Buffalo's Ujima Company, Inc., a multicultural membership organization that is the oldest professional repertory theater company in Western New York. Her best known play, "Yalla Bitch," originated as a book of poetry by the same name, and was performed as part of the first International Women Playwrights Conference in 1986.
In 2008, Ms. Hill produced and hosted "Uncrowned Queens: Voices of African American Women," a series of one-hour radio programs on Western New York Public Broadcasting's WNED-AM comprised of oral history portraits of African-American women community builders in the Buffalo area. The series went on to receive a 2009 Gracie Award from the American Women in Radio & Television, and was re-broadcast in its entirety in 2009.
Widely-known as stage and screen actress, storyteller, and educator, Ms. Hill--who was the first woman accepted to Dartmouth College, from which she received her B.A. in American Intellectual History in 1973--currently, teaches theater at the Buffalo Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts and is a Ph.D. candidate at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where she received her M.A in 1978.
Annette Daniels-Taylor is a Buffalo-based playwright, poet, actor, teacher, singer and theatrical costume designer who has worked on or behind many notable Buffalo and New York City performances and productions, including HBO' s Def Comedy Jam, MTV, Apollo Theater, Black Entertainment Television, Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo Ensemble Theatre, La Mama, and Nuyorican Poets Café. While working as a designer and stylist for Ruby Dee, Queen Latifah, Lenny Kravitz, and Russell Simmons, among others, she wrote and acted, and received a scholarship from the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute.
In 2009, she won the Emanuel Fried Award for Best New Play, "A Little Bit of Paradise," which premiered at Road Less Traveled Productions in 2008. Her poetry has been included in "Mom Egg," a collection of mother-inspired literature, and her performance piece for young audiences "Mama Songs for Children" has toured WNY.
Ms. Daniels-Taylor is currently writer-in-residence at Buffalo's Langston Hughes Institute.

The Gracies, presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWM Foundation), recognize exemplary programming created for women, by women and about women in all areas of electronic media, and encourage the realistic and multifaceted portrayal of women in entertainment, news, features and other programs.

AWM President Erin M. Fuller wrote in her congratulations letter to KING 5, "In a year with a record-setting number of entries, your submission displayed superior quality in writing, production and programming."
Highlights of Evening Magazine's "Vegas Exposed" show from May 2011 include:
- The birthplace of Las Vegas – Fremont Street, with its huge canopy of lights and Vegas style impersonators striking poses for tourists. And the most memorable way to experience the original Vegas – cruising above Fremont Street at 30 miles per hour on a zip line.
- Neon Graveyard – Evening's Jim Dever explores the "City of Lights" colorful neon past at this sign repository that's a history museum and an art museum. Take a walk back in time to the Rat Pack glory days, gazing at vintage signs from the Stardust, the Flamingo, and Desert Inn.
- Vegas Jubilee! – Host Meeghan Black goes behind the scenes into the showgirls dressing room at the iconic Jubilee! - the longest running production in Vegas history. See the costumes, the heavy head dresses, and get a glimpse of what it's like to be a Las Vegas showgirl.

Baltimore County officials are asking the County Council to approve the issuance of $255 million in bonds to fund the pension system.
County Administrative Officer Fred Homan told the council during a Tuesday lunch briefing that he wants to use the money to invest in the pension system.
"There are market risks to a pension bond deal," Homan said, adding that the risk is not achieving the 4.25 to 4.5 percent rate of interest the county believes the bonds will sell for.
Currently, the nearly $2 billion pension system is funded at nearly 77 percent.
Homan said the move is expected to lower long-term pension system costs over the next 30 years.
The request will be part of a two-bill package introduced Monday night with a vote expected in October.
Homan is expected to later Tuesday afternoon following a council work session.

April 2011 General Conference Packets
My good friend Angela Roberts (with Scriptures4Kids) and I have teamed up to bring you the following Conference packets. It has been a delight to work with Angela and her awesome team! We've all spent several weeks putting these together and hope you enjoy them! If a packet is too long, customize it by just printing the pages you want. Most of these files are large and will take several moments to load completely....so please be patient. : )

PACKET #3 - Primary
I made this simple two page packet (in black and white) for those of you with a large Primary.

PACKET #4 - Senior Primary
This packet has two files. Print the first file on paper. Print the second file (4 pages total) on sticker paper.
CLICK HERE to open conference packet.
CLICK HERE to open sticker packet.
* I've had several questions regarding the sticker packet. First of all, what is sticker paper? Well, your local office supply store should sell 8-1/2 x 11 sheets of sticker paper (something like this). They are 8-1/2 x 11 sheets with no perforations. Once everything is printed, I just cut out each graphic or image by hand and store them all in a ziploc baggie.
I don't have a color printer so in the rare case I need to print something in color, I just take it to a copy shop like Kinko's and they can print it directly on sticker paper for me. I prefer doing this when I only need a couple of color copies.
Secondly, you don't have to print it on sticker paper. You can just print it on normal paper and have the children color it and use a glue stick and glue it in place. I hope that helps!

Yay! I can't wait for Conference!!! I was wondering if the packets are also available as Word documents so we could translate them for our Primary kids in the Netherlands? I would love to translate them so everybody could use them. Just wondering. THANKS for all you guys do!

I love the youth conference packet! I know many people think by the time the kids are youth that they should just be able to sit and listen, but this is a great way to get them to retain what they are hearing from the general authorities. Thank you so much for this one. I think I might use it with my Beehives.
Mar 04 2011 13:06:45 | Kathy

Mar 05 2011 09:14:56 | Colleen

Thank you so much for the Conference Packets!! This week during FHE we talked about listening to the Prophets so we know what Heavenly Father wants us to do. My oldest 2 kids got VERY excited when they realized that conference was coming soon and they would be able to listen and do the 'workbooks'. Thank you so much for making conference at our home a peaceful and fun time that my children look forward to!

Wow! What an amazing set of packets! I'm so excited that they are different for the age groups. We've had trouble in the past finding the right balance between Sr. and Jr. Primary.
Mar 10 2011 07:58:11 | Patty B
I am usually printing packets out and miss the first few minutes of conference, so I'm glad to have access to these so far in advance. I just printed out the nursery one to use with The Apostle Song and realized that Ballard and Oaks are switched in their order. The paper doll idea is SO cute!
Mar 10 2011 18:40:18 | Lashele
These packets are great. I got all of them to download except the packet for the senior primary. Thanks.

I just printed out samples to place on the bulletin board so parents can print them out for their own children. I printed some of them in a smaller booklet format.
Mar 12 2011 18:25:57 | Tiphaine
Awesome! but on the junior primary packet, where you have to trace the names, President Uchtdorf's namme is spelled wrong...
Mar 12 2011 21:05:30 | Fran
I printed out a nursery packet for my Sunbeam granddaughter. It's just right for her. Thanks!

I AM WANTING TO PRINT OFF THE NURSERY PACKET FOR MY NURSERY KIDS BUT I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GETTING ALL OF THE PAGES TO PRINT PROPERLY. MY PRINTER PRINTS FROM LAST PAGE TO FIRST. STARTING ON THE FIRST PRESIDENCY TOILET PAPER PUPPET PAGE, THE WORDS ARE PLAIN MIXED UP, IT'S NOT EVEN ANOTHER LANGUAGE FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. WHAT CAN I DO? :sad:
Mar 21 2011 14:31:06 | DeAyn G.
Thank you so much!
I will be certain to put each packet to good use since I have at least one child in every category: Nursery-1, Jr. Primary-3, Sr. Primary-1 & Youth-1.
This year our youngest will just have to occupy himself on Mommy's lap.
Yet I am certain we will be back to see what you have in store for us in October. If they are as good as these...I can't wait for Oct's Gen Conf Packets!!!
Mar 22 2011 07:14:29 | Angie
thank you for the packet and the hard work that it was put into. This is greatly helpful for me a single convert parent. I can begin to use them the Monday before conference as a Family Home Evening and allow my children to reflect on how to prepare for Conf.
Mar 22 2011 08:48:18 | Karen
Thank you so much for your hard work outting these together!!!!! My daughter LOVES activities and crafts, but my talents are in other areas. I appreciate you sharing your talents with us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Packet #5 for the youth only opens in the black and white version. The color version keeps saying it is damaged. The other packets opened for me without a problem. ???
Mar 28 2011 21:22:16 | April
I am unable to download the Sr. Primary Pcekt #4 conference packet. I can dowload others and the stickers but not this one. Maybe you could help me.
I love these and our girls will have such a great time! Thanks for all your hard work!
Mar 29 2011 08:26:15 | StephenQuote:Hi, these packets are great! Thank you so much. My only problem is that I have not been able to save them to my computer, only print. Any suggestions?
After you open the packet you want to save, click 'Print' then 'Save As' or 'Save Page As.' Then 'OK.' Then it will be on your computer and you can print later. Hope this helps.
Mar 29 2011 16:29:29 | Megan
These are AWESOME!!!! wow! Thanks so much for all the hard work. I am loving the General Authorities chain! =)

Mar 30 2011 12:19:07 | Candice
Thank you so much for your efforts! I printed out the youth packet, added a few small treats and a small box of crayons and plan on delivering them to my young women before conference. Thanks again!
Mar 30 2011 07:40:56 | Lindsay
Thank you so much for putting this together! I am now looking forward teaching my 2.5 year old to enjoy listening to conference (and hoping that means I'll be able to get something out of it this time too ;-) )
Mar 31 2011 08:02:36 | Becky Wilson
These are AMAZING. Thank you so much for your time and service- these will definitely help my children have a wonderful experience with conference. I love that there is a different one for all different ages!
Mar 31 2011 11:13:41 | Suzanne Chesney
I cannot seem to download packet #4 either. It tries to bring up the document and then goes blank. Any suggestions.
Mar 31 2011 12:28:40 | Edwina
I would like to offer a suggestion I have used with my children for years, I make bingo pages. I simply use a 5 x 5 grid with the center square free. For my younger children, I have collected various pictures and for my older children who read, I simply use words like Prophet, Young Men and Women, and Hymn or topics like Family History, the Temple, and Tithing. When they have a problem with attention, sometimes I double up on what I put into the aquares to let them win faster. They have even asked for it when I forget to make the Conference Bingo pages!
Mar 31 2011 12:59:05 | Edwina
Someone mentioned a General Authorities chain, I have tried downloading a couple of the packets and that activity sounds really interesting. Could someone tell me which of the packets it's in??
Mar 31 2011 19:45:37 | MelindaQuote:Someone mentioned a General Authorities chain. Could someone tell me which of the packets it's in??
It can be found in the Nursery packet!
Apr 01 2011 07:49:10 | Janet
In the Packet #5 (for the Youth), the 'ultimate Conference word search' does not have half of the words you are supposed to find, in the word search. Everything after 'release' is missing from the word search. I may have missed a couple of the words, but not 34 of them.
Apr 01 2011 12:09:27 | Hannah clark
Awesome! Thanks so much! My kids will enjoy conference so much more this year!
Apr 02 2011 10:00:50 | Lucky Red Hen

Janet - We noticed that too!! My husband and I both thought we were crazy until we asked each other about it
I love the packets though! Thanks so much for providing these!
Apr 02 2011 16:04:37 | Cesily
Just used these during the 1st and 2nd sessions- All four of my kids loved them!!! Thank you so much for your time in putting these amazing packets together.
Apr 02 2011 17:05:46 | kristi
Thank you for posting this for all of us to use. I had a very difficult time last year finding a good packet. It really makes all the difference for my kids when they have something constructive to do while watching conference.
Apr 02 2011 19:04:57 | jo
I love the packets... but I don't like big bold letters on the top of the pages... it uses so much of my printer ink! Just an idea, it might be better to keep the letters small and thin.
Thanks for the packets!k
Apr 03 2011 06:10:07 | Lexie
These are amazing! I love that they have some things that are "new" and different from old packets. Thank you so much!
Apr 03 2011 07:00:17 | Meredith H
WOW. THANK YOU. I am so excited to watch conference with my kids! I did want to let you know that when I printed out the Armour of God section of the Junior Primary Packet, the background was black. This used up a lot of ink. Just thought you might want to know if you were going to update these for future use. I know we'll be using these packet every chance we get! I just wish I had come looking for them sooner so I could have shared them with the whole Primary!
Apr 03 2011 07:45:55 | Lisa
I love these packets...... just wish the ink was not so bold at the tops of the pages becasue it uses so much ink.....But Thanks for Sharing!!
Apr 03 2011 07:47:23 | Lisa
Thank you so much! These conference packets are wonderful! Thank you so much for your hard work and for being willing to share. My children will greatly benefit from your hard work!!! :-)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for these!!!
They made conference SO much fun for my girls. My 5 year old daughter said: I LOVE CONFERENCE! My mom used them for all her primary class kids, and all my nieces and nephews. Thanks so much!
Apr 03 2011 16:07:47 | SLKW
Word search is missing so many of the words. Made me think I was going crazy trying to help my daughter find them.
Apr 04 2011 06:49:50 | Michelle
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your hard work with us! My kids loved using these over the weekend, and we also passed them out to our Primary children. Huge help!
May 08 2011 19:34:18 | cheri banks
on the conference packet #4 the ultimate word search all the words aren't in there only half of them. we have searched and searched letter by letter and they are not there. is there another part to it?
Sep 29 2011 07:25:28 | jam campbell
I really enjoy confrence & have wanted to find a way for our kids to also. These packets give them the tools to have fun learn & look for, listen to & see confrence in a new light. Thank you for all the work you have put into this...Jam Mac

I have always loved printing conference packets from sugardoodle! This year though some of the packets seem to be very ink intensive. For example, the bingo page in packet #5 (for youth). Thanks for sharing your time and talents! The yearly conference packets are something that my kids always look forward to.

And the Streak Comes to an End
Well, it finally happened. I've kept this new schedule for two months – well, dang close to two months. I blogged through my vacation, I blogged through sickness, I blogged late in the evening (have I mentioned that deadlines are generally the only thing driving me to complete anything?), and I blogged when I really didn't have anything worth mentioning. (Don't say it! Don't say it!). And now, one day short of two months, what was it that took me down? An internet connection.

A Corydon man is in Harrison County jail after a short pursuit by the Indiana State Police.
George L. Kintner, 47, was arrested for resisting law enforcement, a class D felony, and class A misdemeanor operating while intoxicated.
Just after 3 a.m. today [Friday], an ISP trooper attempted to stop a 1998 Ford Ranger pickup truck driven by Kintner on Gardner Lane in Corydon for a traffic violation.
The driver sped up and turned out its headlights in an attempt to evade the pursuing trooper, according to an ISP press release.
The Ford Ranger then entered into an auto sales dealership on Gardner Lane and was traveling in between the rows of cars on the lot. The Ford Ranger exited the car lot back on to Gardner Lane, traveled a few hundred feet, and then left the roadway into a field, traveling a few more hundred feet before the driver fled the vehicle on foot.
Kintner was then captured and arrested. He is incarcerated in the Harrison County Jail awaiting his first court appearance.
No one was injured and there were no vehicles damaged during the pursuit, the release says.

Former WBAL News Director Mark Miller is coming to Howard County to join the administration as the new press secretary, managing the Office of Public Information.
"I am thrilled to have someone with Mark's media experience join the County," County Executive Ken Ulman said in a statement released Monday. "Mark understands firsthand how critically important effective communication is, and he is extremely well-versed in both the old and new world media."
Miller, who will begin Nov. 7, joins the county administration as Director of Public Communication Kevin Enright leaves government to join the University of Maryland's School of Medicine.
Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs David Nitkin will take on additional duties as the Director of Communications.
"I thank Kevin for his tireless work and skillful management and decision-making during his time in the county," Ulman said in the statement. "He is the consummate professional, and I wish him well in his new position."
Miller said he was "honored" to be joining Ulman's team.
"I truly am looking forward to working with Executive Ulman and the many bright, hardworking people he has surrounded himself with in the county," Miller said in the statement.
Ulman also announced that Candace Dodson-Reed, director of constituent and community affairs has been promoted to deputy chief of staff.
"Candace's experience, interpersonal skills and close ties to so many in Howard County make her a natural to assume more responsibilities as we look to make even more achievements in the County," Ulman said in a statement.
Dodson-Reed takes this new position as Ian Kennedy begins his new job as Communications Director at The Horizon Foundation.
