I'll have a blue Christmas without you,
I'll be so blue just thinking about you.
Elvis Presley aside, the holiday blues are nothing to sing about.
For many the holidays are not a time of cheer, but of dread, exhaustion and even depression.
The symptoms are similar to those of severe depression, the difference being that holiday blues tend to come and go with the season. Look for a lack of interest in usually pleasant activities, sleep disturbances, appetite changes, agitation, anxiety, feelings of guilt or difficulty in concentrating.
The causes may be loneliness from loss of loved ones, a hectic pace of shopping,
entertaining and decorating that leads to exhaustion, strained family dynamics
that make get-togethers want-to-avoids, or the financial worries that result from
There can be physical causes, the draggy feeling from consuming
too much alcohol, indulging in too many sweets and skipping exercise. Not to
mention the psychological effects of shorter days and daylight.
Don't let the holiday blues get you down. There are ways to cope. Here are a few:
- Keep your expectations modest. Don't fall into a trap of what holidays are supposed to be or how you are supposed to feel.
- If traditional activities are a cause for dread, do something different this year.
- Pace yourself. Forget the unimportant stuff. So what if all the decorations don't
get put up? Skip a party if you'd rather not.
- If you are lonely, try volunteering some time to help others.
- Avoid the blahs with a walk to reduce stress, a glass or two less of alcohol, and only a nibble of the goodies that produce sugar highs.
- Keep track of spending. Post-holiday bills can be a real downer.
- Avoid the scrooges and grinches – try to spend time with positive people.
- Don't compare past and current holidays. When you compare, you despair.
- Be careful about resentments related to holidays past. Declare an amnesty with a relative or friend over frictions of the past.
- Take a breather and make time for yourself.

Full Definition of SEMIOTICS
Variants of SEMIOTICS
Origin of SEMIOTICS
Other Grammar and Linguistics Terms
semioticsnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Study of signs and sign-using behaviour, especially in language. In the late 19th and early 20th century the work of Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce led to the emergence of semiotics as a method for examining phenomena in different fields, including aesthetics, anthropology, communications, psychology, and semantics. Interest in the structure behind the use of particular signs links semiotics with the methods of structuralism. Saussure's theories are also fundamental to poststructuralism.

BY JESSICA RASCH Special to the Record-Eagle
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — It's not uncommon to witness a breathtaking view of the bays and inland lakes from one of the hundreds of sprawling farms across the region.
This closeness to what makes our region so beautiful is exactly why growers are voluntarily implementing the most stringent environmental safety measures through the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP). Just this past April, Gov. Rick Snyder visited the Grand Traverse region to commend the seven-member Wineries of Old Mission Peninsula for their commitment to the MAEAP program.
In celebration of the Grand Traverse Conservation District's dedication to agriculture, a Community Stewardship Series event will be held at three local wineries highlighting the success of the agriculture pillar. Bowers Harbor Vineyards, Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery, and Chateau Grand Traverse will be highlighted as representatives of the seven MAEAP verified Wineries of Old Mission Peninsula on June 22.
The event will offer the opportunity to learn firsthand from the winery owners and your local MAEAP technicians, Jessica Rasch and Garrett Coggon, what measures our local vineyards are taking to protect the landscapes that surround us. You can also enjoy wine tasting at each location and a personal tour of Chateau Grand Traverse by the winery owner. Please visit the events page on www.natureiscalling.org for more information.
If you can't make the MAEAP wine tour, be sure to visit your regional MAEAP technicians at the Sarah Hardy Downtown Farmers Market on Saturdays to learn more about the program. The Grand Traverse Conservation District has partnered with the market to promote MAEAP to both the vendors as well as the consumer.
Vendors are proud to display the "This Farm is Environmentally Verified" sign recognizing their commitment to the health of the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the lakes and streams we love. MAEAP verification assures growers they are truly doing the right thing for the land they love by preserving its integrity for future generations.
When you purchase food from a verified farm, you are demonstrating your support for local farmers who voluntarily adopt environmentally sound growing practices. So keep an eye out for the MAEAP logo and join your local farmers in doing your part to tread lightly upon our land and water.

Anderson University senior Sean Thompson, a member of the Anderson University men's cross country and track programs, has been awarded a NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship. Thompson, a native of Dundas, Ontario, Canada, will graduate in May with a degree in Biology, and plans to attend medical school in the U.S. this fall. Thompson has been named to the Dean's List seven times at Anderson and compiled a cumulative grade point average to date of 3.987.
The NCAA awarded 56 postgraduate scholarships of $7,500 each to 28 male student-athletes and 28 female student-athletes who participated in fall sports, which included women's badminton (emerging sport), men's and women's cross country, women's field hockey, football, women's rugby (emerging sport), men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball and men's water polo.
Award recipients represent all three NCAA Divisions, and the fall honorees from Division III institutions included City College of New York, Emory University, Rhodes College and Washington University in St. Louis.
In addition to the fall sport honorees, the NCAA also awards 116 postgraduate scholarships to student-athletes participating in winter and spring sports in which the NCAA conducts championships or participates in as an emerging sport, for a total of 174 postgraduate scholarships annually.
To qualify for an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, a student-athlete must have an overall grade-point average of 3.200 (on a 4.000 scale) or its equivalent and must have performed with distinction as a member of the varsity team in the sport in which the student-athlete was nominated. The student-athlete must have behaved, both on and off the field, in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution and intercollegiate athletics. The student-athlete also must intend to continue academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree as a full-time or part-time graduate student.
Nomination forms are sent to faculty athletics representatives for fall sports in September, for winter sports in late November, and for spring sports in January. Selections are made three times each academic year. The application must be submitted during the appropriate seasonal category for the sport to the appropriate regional committee chair. Candidates are screened by seven regional selection committees, and the award recipients are selected by the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Committee.
Anderson University is a private, Christian, liberal arts institution of approximately 2,700 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, the university offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs of study in business, education, nursing and theology.

Nokia 808 PureView, expected in India for 30K INR
AndroSym took a look at Nokia India's pagesource for the Nokia 808 and it suggests that the price of the Nokia 808 Black at http://nokia.indiatimes.com to be 29,999INR
30K INR is roughtly 348GBP or 433 EUR. Close to the 450EUR expected at UAE.
Not bad. Similar page source details are confirmed for the Nokia E5 which mentions pricing in this manner.

great news. Thats about 450 euros. I bet it was the online retailers who were pricing it too high initially.
if that's true then 610 priced at 19999 INR
710 cost only 15499
i guess it's typo and rather it should be 10999 INR
At this price it will be a superhit phone. And eventually after 1-2 months it will sell upto 27-28K.
Indeed very well priced compared to Lumia 800 in initial case. Just it need some advertising.
i guess its the sweet spot when considering the fact that the Lumia 800 is selling around 21,000 INR here in India
We're can you get the 800 for 21 grands in India 2 days before I checked it was 24,000
perfect price n i bet after 2-3 months it will get to 25k mark it will sell alot
At 30K i would get this in a heartbeat.
I love Symbian, I love Nokia and i definetly love a great Camera Phone.
Can't find a good enough phone in other ecosystems, so N808 here comes my credit card
Not bad?
At current market prices, Sony Experia S – 31K. SGS 2 – 28K, Nexus – 30K. SGS 3 is likely going to debut at 31K.
Do you think it's alright to price an "out of fashion"(to common people anyway) platform at this price, when Nokia is doing so bad?
You no clue about Nokia India's arrogance. Nokia India behaves as if they descended straight from a Finnish royal family, and we the commoners should be thankful to buy anything they throw at us at any price.
They have been doing this for far too long – artificially jack up the price when a new phone hits the market and a few months later lower the price to the actual market value. They got away with this so far, because the competition sucked. They can't afford to pull this shit now.
This is one of the reasons gadget lovers hated Nokia in India for a long time for cheating the early adopters.
I came to love Nokia during my stay outside of India. Not because of these Nokia India f**ktards.
"Do you think it's alright to price an "out of fashion"(to common people anyway) platform at this price, when Nokia is doing so bad?"
I know I should not let comments like this both me, but they do!
First, if this sort of cutting edge technology was on ANY other device people would be doing handstands, double back flips and letting everyone know how marvellous this device is. Hell, Twitter has been alight with news of the pretty much "same old same old" Samsung Galaxy SIII and the underwhelming iPhone 4S had the same effect. Nokia does it and gets told they must virtually give the phone away.
Second, you use Nokia's current position to justify your views. So let me get this straight. They are "battling" and you think the best solution is to continue giving their phones away and not make any profit? This on a device that was many years in the making.
Third, jumping on that damn bandwagon and referring to Symbian as old fashioned peeves me the most. Think for yourself! Don't regurgitate what US tech blogs tell you. Symbian is still by far the most advanced OS out there. The others are all still playing catch up. Belle is great!
both=bother obviously!
And if any one wants to talk overpriced, then how about we focus on one of those devices that has people doing back flips in the street, the iPhone! Between 450GBP and 500GBP on Amazon. For what? No cutting edge camera there. Just a "pretty" interface and "ease of use"…
Look, I don't need convincing. I would buy the 808 in a heartbeat after running my N9 to the ground. But I just wouldn't buy it from Nokia India, but rather from eBay.
My peeve is against Nokia India BU, not Symbian. I know what Symbian is capable of, been using it even before the Jesus phone.
That's why I put "out of fashion" in quotes – I didn't say inferior, just "out of fashion" among the Indian buyers in today's market.
Try convincing buyers to buy the 808 against Exepria S and SGS 3 all in the same price band. How many buyers do you think have heard about pureview?
And no, my rant is not based on US tech blogs. I am commenting here, aren't I? Smartphone opinion wars among colleagues and friends are common here – as they are elsewhere.
What do you mean by:
"after running my N9 to the ground"?
After it becomes unusable due to heavy usage over a period of time.. My N9 is just 3 months old.
Just to give you an idea, my options at that point were N9, 700 and begrudgingly L800. When I asked the Nokia local store here, L800 was selling at 30K!
N9 was around 450 USD on eBay — which is 25K for me. So that helped me making up my mind. And after 3 months now, L800 is priced around 25K, which indicates it's actual market value.
You can see how much of wankers Nokia India really are.
Still not really getting what you mean by unusable after a period of time.
It can become totally unstable more easily than WP.
But that's because you can get under the hood much more.
Which of course means you'll get more instability.
Be careful with apps like N9tweak etc.
I never use them…
If I want to implement a hack or tweak.
I always manually do it myself in the terminal.
And I always make note of whatever hack/twk I've done, & in what order.
And of course back up etc….
Regarding pricing in India, I see what you mean.
Sounds like they're behaving like Nokia's still king.
Yes Belle is not the "Symbian" it used to be.. Its actually a pleasure to use and has many features. It looks and performs great on N8 and 808.
You will not believe how many people I have had phone discussions with who claim they know Symbian, and can vouch for how "rubbish" it is because they once owned a Nokia 5110! Even those who claim to have owned an N82 cannot state they know Symbian as in it's new guise it is unrecognisable.
I would be interested to ask those same people how wonderful the first Android release was, or the first iOS release. Belle is a different beast.
Yes they are quick to Judge without evn trying.. I regularly take trips to Phone stores , and try everything on display.. I reckon if you put the 808 on display, hardly anyone would pick it was Symbian OS until you told them. Its not that different to Android really..
ya this is a niche device most people wont buy it.also its not true that nobody knows about pureview my non-techy friends knows about pureview more than lumia.
And price of galaxy s3 is not 31k,htc one x is 36k,galaxy s3 is expected to be 38k .
Next: Global release.
Nope.. Australia and New Zealand wont be getting it and the US is only getting Sim free.
Then let's burn some rubber early on. Help in any way we can.
Get stuck into Nokia Australia FB, they also control the Nokia NZ FB page.. hammer them.. Publicity , anything.. I actually think they are beginning to feel the backlash now..
Already did and still doing so from time to time.
have people upload Nokia 808 pics on Nokia Au/Nz page.
They have been posting links to 808 stuff, yes, but not any actual photos.. You got some?
I have been posting N808 pictures I got from GSMArena and PhoneArena.
Paul, when it's released over in South East Asia, hammer some more.
I'll do some teasing,hehe
Now it was changed to 'NA'
Hey I don't think we can rely on this information since it is all speculation. I think we must wait for the official Nokia pricing that comes out. These rumours always surface before the launch of any good mobile phone. So beware, do not just trust anything and everything you see on the net.
I agree with Akash. Can't rely on random information on the net. This is just some rumour floating around which cannot be trusted. So even I'd suggest that we'd better wait for the official announcement from Nokia before passing any judgements.
spam removed
That's nice SPAM p00.

Lady Gaga's recent appearance at Yankees Stadium was less controversial than her one at Citi Field
Lady Gaga's behavior at a recent baseball game was far tamer than her notorious outing at Citi Field.
The pop star was at last night's Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium blowing kisses to the crowd, The Daily News reported. It was a departure from her not-so-polite behavior at the New York Mets' home turf on Jun. 10 when Gaga made an obscene gesture during a Mets and San Diego Padres doubleheader from a Citi Field luxury suite.
This time at Yankee Stadium, Gaga appeared friendlier as she waved to fans. She was described as wearing a Yankee jersey, a leopard beret, and black lingerie.
The New York native grew up going to Yankees games with her dad.
Still, Gaga didn't bring luck to her beloved Yankees: They lost to the Mets 4-0 in game one of the weekend series.

WakeMed Health & Hospitals, a major area employer that faces its first financial loss in years, will be dinged about $650,000 by Medicare because too many patients treated at WakeMed were back in the hospital within 30 days after being discharged.
WakeMed is among a number of Triangle hospitals that will have to pay a Medicare penalty for excessive readmissions, but only two of those hospitals saw their excessive readmissions increase from a year earlier: WakeMed in Raleigh and Johnston Memorial Hospital.
The readmission penalty will cost 2,225 hospitals nationwide about $277 million in the coming year in reduced Medicare payments, according to an analysis of federal data by Kaiser Health News. Out of North Carolinas 88 hospitals, none will have to pay this years maximum penalty a 2 percent cut in Medicare payments and 27 will pay no penalty at all, Kaiser Health News found.
The Medicare penalty, part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is designed to slow runaway medical costs by creating a financial incentive for hospitals to keep patients from coming back. In past years, hospitals had little incentive to keep patients away because they profited from charging the Medicare system for treating the patient a second time.
The key to this is coordination of care to try to get patients the best care once they leave the hospital so they dont have to come back, said J. West Paul, WakeMeds vice president for quality and safety.
Hospital stays are among the most expensive items in the health care system, and some of the reasons patients end up in the hospital can be treated less expensively through early intervention and monitoring.
Most penalties decline
The Medicare penalty system focuses on readmissions of patients who were initially admitted for three conditions: pneumonia, heart attack and heart failure. However, the readmission can be for any reason say, a bicycle accident or a snakebite and it counts against the first hospital even if the patient ends up at another hospital within 30 days.
About half of WakeMeds excessive readmissions were the result of readmissions to hospitals outside Wake County, Paul said. One of the excessive readmissions was for a patient who came in for a previously scheduled bypass operation, he said.
The first round of Medicare penalties kicked in last fall, and the second round begins this October. By 2015, the maximum penalty will go up 3 percent, which could translate to more than $1 million in lost revenue for some hospitals.
The approach seems to be working. Most Triangle hospitals will pay a smaller penalty in the coming year than they had to pay in the previous year.
The average penalty for North Carolinas hospitals will be a 1/3 percent cut in Medicare payments this coming year, Kaiser Health News found.
Rex Hospital in Raleigh expects its Medicare payments to be cut to $66,400, which is about half the penalty Rex paid last year. All three hospitals in Duke University Health System had excessive readmissions last year, but this year only Duke University Hospital will pay a penalty, and it will be nearly half the $600,000 the system paid last year.
Income a factor
Readmissions are reduced when hospitals follow up with patients at home and give care instructions to family members. Duke University Health System created a Same Day Acute Heart Failure Clinic, which provides medical infusions and other treatments outside the hospital so that a return visit is not counted as a readmission.
This years penalty is based on readmission numbers over a three-year period ending June 30, 2012, and doesnt reflect hospital improvements in the past 12 months.
During the review period, WakeMed treated about 1,700 heart attack patients and about 300 were readmitted to WakeMed or other hospitals, Paul said. That was 19 readmissions too many by Medicare standards.
The Kaiser Health News analysis found that hospitals that treat a high number of low-income patients are more likely to experience readmissions and get penalized.
Hospital industry officials have repeatedly said this aspect of the Obamacare penalty system is troubling.
Its worrisome because it doesnt reflect hospital quality, and the penalty may impact their ability to deliver care in the community, said Thomas Owens, Duke University Health Systems chief medical officer.

NBA Commissioner David Stern confirmed Wednesday night the league has received a relocation proposal to move the Sacramento Kings to Seattle, the Associated Press reports.
It's been widely reported the investment group led by Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer plans to bring the team to Seattle, but Stern's comments mark the first time those intentions have been verified.
Hansen's group reached a deal with the Maloof family back in January to purchase a 65-percent share of the franchise for $340 million. An NBA committee is expected to vote on both the sale and the relocation in mid-April.
Meanwhile, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson continues efforts to round up investors who could compete with Hansen's offer and build a new arena in California. But he has yet to name any major investors who would back such a bid.
Stern also told the AP the relocation proposal calls for the team to play "two, years, possibly three" at KeyArena while a new venue is being built.
Would you return to KeyArena for NBA action? Or wait until a new arena is built? Tell us in the comments section.

Times West Virginian
With 10 minutes remaining here Saturday afternoon at the Joe Retton Arena, Fairmont State point guard Malik Stith decided enough was enough and took matters into his own hands to help lead the Falcons to an 82-72 victory over pesky Bluefield State.
Stith, a transfer from St. John's University, watched the visiting Blues whittle a 19-point second-half FSU lead to two before he took over. He scored eight of the Falcons' 15 points on a crucial 15-1 spurt in a 2:26 span to help his team regain control of the game and improve to 4-2 overall and to 2-1 in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with the victory.
"I probably felt a little pressure there," said Stith, who finished with 16 points, 12 of which came in the game's final 10 minutes. "We had built a big lead coming out in the second half and blew it. That's not good. We want to extend every lead we've got.
"I just saw some open opportunities that I hadn't seen throughout the game. When I saw a lane I just took it, went to the rim and happened to score the ball to help us stretch the lead back out.
"It's my job to lead the team. It's not really my job to score the ball unless I have opportunities and when I got them at that point I just tried to put the ball in the basket for us."
Less than five minutes into the second half it looked as if Fairmont State was poised to blow Bluefield, a team which has now lost 30 games in a row dating back to last season, out of the gym.
Led by Isaac Thornton, who finished with 15 points, FSU opened the final half on a 14-0 run to extend its five-point halftime advantage to 19 at 52-33 with 15:36 left to play.
"Coach told me to stay aggressive and keep shooting the ball because I didn't have a good first half," said Thornton, who scored the first six points of the final half for Fairmont. "I just tried to be aggressive. My teammates looked for me, found me and had confidence in me. I just had to do it for the team."
However, once Fairmont opened the 19-point lead the Falcons relaxed and Bluefield State made them pay. The Blues answered FSU's run with an impressive 17-0 outburst of their own over the course of the next five minutes to close to within two at 52-50 with plenty of time remaining. That's when Stith took over and re-ignited the spark in his team.
"Malik's great," said Thornton. "I don't think anybody can guard him when he's got the ball and going to the hoop. He stayed aggressive and sparked that run which was great for us. He's very competitive and doesn't want to lose."
Once Fairmont re-established a 16-point, 67-51, lead the Blues could never get any closer than 10 the rest of the way.
For the second straight game Fairmont was led in scoring by senior center Isaiah Hill, who finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks. Fourteen of his points came in the first half.
"I just try to feed off of my teammates," said Hill. "If coach calls a play for me I just do what I'm told and it works. My teammates do a great job of getting me the ball and finding me inside.
"We've got a group of guys this year who are all basically new and learning to play with one another. We're coming along and we're starting to get this defense thing down which is what the coaches are really stressing to us. We know we can score offensively, we just need to be better defensively and tonight I think we were."
FSU also got a big second-half performance in the win from Brendan Cooper, who finished with 13 points, a game-high 12 rebounds and five assists. Ten of his points, 11 of his rebounds and three of his assists came in the final half.
"Tonight was the first time all year we've kind of struggled offensively," said FSU coach Jerrod Calhoun. "We've been averaging 92 points. Finally in the second half we stopped shooting threes and moved our defense a little bit.
"Tonight we guarded pretty well. We only gave up 72 points, but we didn't get quite as many transition points as we usually get and that's to their credit because they got back in transition and took some of that away from us. Usually our offense isn't the problem it's our defense, but tonight I'm happy with our defensive effort."
Bluefield, which fell to 0-5 overall and to 0-3 in the league, got 20 points and 10 rebounds from Vincent Rogers, 12 points from Johnny Uhegwu and 11 from Remar Brothers.
FSU will be idle now for 14 days. The Falcons don't return to action until Saturday, Dec. 15 when they visit the University of Charleston for a 4 p.m. contest at the Eddie King Gymnasium.

i'm making my way through this series and, in general, this series is getting at least two viewings by my wife and i. irritated with the abundance of the "augmented" granite chested girls i have little choice to give high marks to girls with erotic, large moving breasts. did i mention large?
Love the naturals, however the scenes just drag on and on. I would like to see more variety and shorter scenes. I actually found myself getting bored. Not the best one in the series.
How can you go wrong with a name like that? I like 'em big and this movie delivered. Nothing novel about the sex but still overall a good pick.
The kind of girls that neither myself nor my girl care to watch. The action was par but not overly erotic.
It seemed like it was a gross misrepresentation of the fetishes it was trying to portray. The acting by far was so lacking it made enjoying the scenes almost impossible. Most scenes just became very obnoxious. Only one really good scene through out the whole video.

Daily Star
---- —
Part of the job description for Jeff Idelson, president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, is the enviable task of going to Major League Baseball cities to bring historic memorabilia, for loan or to keep, to Cooperstown for public display.
Alexander Cleland had that similar enviable task 75 years ago, in a year when the new museum was experiencing a major turning point toward its success.
From the sports page of The Oneonta Star on Monday, May 3, 1937, came news that, "Denton Tecumseh Young -- known to baseball fans as 'Cy' because of the cyclonic destruction he left in the ranks of opposing teams -- caressed his loving cups today and announced he was going to give them to Baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y."
"I don't need them," Young simply told the Associated Press.
It wasn't reported, but one can imagine that a pumped fist in the air and a loud whoop of delight came from Alexander Cleland in Cooperstown upon news of Cy Young's donation. Cleland was then the secretary of the recently established baseball museum, then found in a room of 20-22 Main St., today's Village Library building.
The Freeman's Journal reported on May 12 that Cleland had returned from a trip to Dover, Ohio, to accept Young's trophies and other memorabilia, including a complete uniform and glove Young used during his years in the big leagues.
"Mr. Cleland stated that he was royally received not only in Mr. Young's home in Dover, but in Cleveland, where the fame of the Base Ball Museum had preceded him."
For Cleland, obtaining this memorabilia was quite a triumph for the young museum. Ever since Stephen Clark had brought Cleland on board to implement the museum in Cooperstown, getting donations of historic items had been a struggle. While Clark financially backed the idea of a museum, Cleland is credited with the idea for its inception, according to James Vlasich's book, "A Legend for the Legendary: The Origin of the Baseball Hall of Fame."
Oddly enough, Cleland was no fan of the sport to begin with. He came to the U.S. from Scotland in the early 20th century and was hired by Stephen Clark in 1931 to become the director of the Clark House in New York City, which was founded by the Clark Foundation. It was a settlement house designed to provide services for immigrants, in obtaining temporary housing and employment.
Cleland was brought to Cooperstown in 1934 to meet with Mr. Clark on matters of the Clark House. After finishing his business meetings, Cleland walked through the village and noticed the construction going on at Doubleday Field. The expansion and improvement project was one under the Works Progress Administration program. An enthusiastic worker apparently asked Cleland what he thought of the project and told him that the village was preparing for a 100th anniversary of the game of baseball in 1939.
It was on the train ride back to New York when Cleland pondered the construction worker's remarks and thought of the idea of a museum of memorabilia. When back in New York, Cleland had a formal memorandum typed and sent to Stephen Clark, regarding his idea.
Clark saw the potential of his employee's idea, and suggested he assemble a committee to "formulate a policy and plan of action for furthering of the Memorial plan." A proposed building to house the memorabilia was part of that plan. The library building was meant to be a temporary home.
With the momentum of the collections on the rise in 1937, it was announced on Monday, June 9, that a new fireproof building would be built. The Star reported the next day, "The site of the museum will be the Leo block on Main street, adjoining the ACC gymnasium, which was recently purchased by the Clark estates. The new structure will be connected by a passageway with the gymnasium building.
"On the strength of many voluntary expressions of baseball lovers in all parts of the country to contribute to a project for a perpetual memorial to the national game, and for the secure keeping of the fast growing valuable collection of curios, the Board of directors of the museum have arranged to finance the proposition through a mortgage, which it has been able to secure on favorable terms and which may be retired in the future when funds are available."
The museum opened in 1939.
On Monday: Another museum in Howes Cave grew in 1992.

Instructors from Westfield's Hapi Yogi will travel to Newtown, Conn. Saturday, Dec. 22 in an effort to bring healing to the community in the wake of the deadly school shooting that took place on Friday, Dec. 14.
Amorette Farella, owner of the East Broad Street studio, said she and her colleagues are at a loss of words but want to do what they can to support the Sandy Hook Healing Project.
"All of us want to do something, so we are doing what we can," she said. "We're offering the things we can provide. Being there and being strong and sensitive and open, allowing friends and family to begin to heal."
Farella explained that she and four others will join what she described as "an overnight grassroots effort" that will include Reiki, yoga and meditation practioners. While the day-long event will not take place in a yoga studio, Farella said materials are being attained and a sacred space will be created. She added that the classes will be open to all within the community at no charge. No registration is required.
"I hope that people will feel comfortable and come to this," Farella said. "People sometimes think it seems selfish but they so need to take care of themselves. It's important to do something healthy and good for you too."
All proceeds from classes held on Saturday, Dec. 22 at Hapi Yogi also will benefit SandyHookHeals.com
Giving back to the community is something that has been part of the studio's mission since it opened last January. To celebrate its one-year anniversary, all classes will be offered free of charge on January 2.
Farella added that in the new year she hopes to expand the studio's offerings for children or "little yogis" as well as add Reiki and perhaps a pilates/yoga fusion class.
"We want to enrich what we offer and we continue to be guided by what interests our instructors and our students," she said. "We are here for everyone. We want to provide a space where people feel welcome and can practice yoga without judgement."

Instructure, the maker of the Canvas learning management system and the Canvas Network MOOC platform, is awarding $100,000 in grants to K-12 and higher education institutions.
The grants are being offered as part of Instructure's effort to promote technological innovation within education by rewarding promising technology programs and initiatives. The awards were announced at the Educause 2013 conference, taking place this week in Anaheim, CA.
"We want to stimulate and reward creative thinking within the existing educational community to create a vibrant ecosystem of new technologies to advance education," said Brian Whitmer, Instructure's cofounder and chief learning officer, in a prepared statement. "The conversation around technology's role in remaking education has been largely dominated by third-party vendors. We want to see what can happen when the educational community works to drive innovation from within."
Five $10,000 grants will be awarded to projects in colleges and universities; 10 $5,000 prizes will be awarded to K-12 institutions. Entries will be judged by two independent panels.
According to information provided by Instructure, the higher education panel will include Mike Caulfield, Washington State University; Larry Cooperman, OpenCourseware and University of California, Irvine; Jim Groom, University of Mary Washington; Josh Kim, Dartmouth College and Inside Higher Ed; George Siemens, Athabasca University; Jesse Stommel, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Hybrid Pedagogy; Audrey Watters, Hack Education; and Nancy White, Full Circle Associates.
The K-12 panel will include Jaime Casap, Google; Sean Judkins, Horry County Schools; Chris Lehman, Science Leadership Academy; Scott McLeod, Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency; Linda Nathan, Boston Arts Academy; and Tom Vander Ark, Getting Smart and Learn Capital.
"I believe there is considerable innovative energy among my peers in the academic and educational communities," said Athabasca University's Siemens, in a prepared statement. "I am excited to assess the proposals we receive and firmly believe some of them will lead to significant positive change for education."
Submissions are due Jan. 20. Complete details will be available at instructure.com/canvasgrants.

Bark in the Park 2013
When? Saturday, October 5, 2013
Where? Church Square Park, Hoboken, NJ
Event Time? 12pm - 5pm. Dog walk fundraiser begins at noon.
Bark in the Park, Liberty Humane's biggest fundraising and alumni gathering event of the year, is back! To celebrate Bark in the Park's 10th year, we are planning for an even bigger and better event that will be jam-packed with fun games for humans and their furry friends.
The event kicks off with a half-mile dog walk that fundraisers take part in around Hoboken that concludes at Church Square Park for the festival which will be hosted by dog trainer and comedian, Justin Silver from the CBS series "Dogs in the City" (Courtesy of the Hoboken Comedy Festival).
Register online now! You can sign up as an individual fundraiser or recruit friends, family, or coworkers to start a team. Take a look at our fundraising tips for helpful ideas on surpassing your fundraising goal.
Can't attend Bark in the Park? Then sponsor the Bark in the Park 2013 mascot, Beau! He's an LHS alumni and a model pit bull doggie citizen. Or, you can be a virtual walker and still get your own personalized Bark in the Park fundraising website to share with your contacts.
Why is your involvement in Bark in the Park so important to the animals?
Liberty Humane Society first started the annual Bark in the Park fundraiser ten years ago to celebrate shelter animals while also raising the funding that is critical for their care. Since municipal funding only covers about a seven-day stay for our animals, the donations that are raised at this event provide for everything our animals need to find their forever homes. Your involvement in Bark in the Park is what turns these lost souls into happy, loving companions for their future adopters.
We hope that you will join us in fundraising for Bark in the Park 2013!

Driver Pleaded No Contest to Drunk Driving and Hit & Run
Wed, 11/14/2007 - 11:29pm | by LKSimonson
The driver who hit our Metromint Cycling teammate MaryAnn Levenson last year pleaded no contest to the criminal charges against him which were felony drunk driving with great bodily harm and hit and run. This is great news! His sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 25, 2008 at 9:00 am at the San Mateo Superior Court in Redwood City. This is where we need the BIG show of support for MarAnn so that this guy doesn't just get a slap on the wrist. This is the day we need the whole community to show up. Mark your calendars now, get the day off, clear your schedule. January 25 is the day that MaryAnn needs us to show up the most!
