MOUNT PLEASANT - The Central Michigan track and field team will be hosting the Lyle Bennett Open this weekend, April 26 and 27.
"Running on your own track, you should have a certain amount of confidence. It feels good to be able to stay at home for the weekend, get some good rest and get ready," said Director of Track and Field Willie Randolph.
The Chippewas will host Alma, Oakland, Trine, Detroit Mercy, Aquinas, Michigan State, Saginaw Valley State and Lake Superior State. The meet will be held at Lyle Bennett Track.
Men's and women's javelin and men's and women's hammer throw will take place on Friday, starting at 3 p.m.
Saturday's events will start with field events at 11 a.m., while running events set to begin at 12 p.m. Admission is free.
On Thursday, a few distance runners and throwers will be competing at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The Penn Relays is a historic meet that started on April 21, 1895, showcasing some of the best track athletes in the nation.
Junior Ethan Lievense will be competing in his first 3000m steeplechase since he ran a personal-best time at the Florida Relays. He is currently ranked 13th in the East Regional and is looking to better that mark at the Penn Relays.
"It's an honor to have the opportunity to race at one of, if not the most prestigious track meet the college circuit has to offer. There is so much tradition at the Penn Relays, and so many greats have run at the coliseum, so it's very humbling," Lievense said of his opportunity. "I could've never have dreamed being seeded this high my sophomore year let alone ever, and I am welcoming that pressure with open arms. These are the kind of venues that you can gain so much racing experience and tactics from, so I will be taking full advantage of my opportunity. I've been thinking about this race for a while now, so I'm ready to toe the line and mix it up."

FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Diane von Furstenberg
DvF began with a clean white canvas and built a collection and a vision from there. "The light appears and everything changes," was the first step with a series of crisp white—shirt dresses in cotton poplin, followed by a white '60s style shift with the palest green trim. Complimenting some of the swinging silhouettes of that era, the models were topped off with foot-high beehives brimming with texture and volume. There was a little Pierre Cardin nod with a linen sack dress accented with a turquoise collar and sharply color-blocked leather clutch. Von Furstenberg is yet another design heavyweight pledging allegiance to the powers of color-blocking for spring, such as with a straight-silhouetted jersey shift in a trio of wheat, aqua, and deep brown hues. After about eight more neutral-heavy looks, each dabbed with a pop of strong color in some element, and then, the clothes moved into prints—because where would DvF be without a fabulous print? The audience slowly eased into the patterns with a chic poppy print in pebble, black, and accents of yellow. Things got bolder and better when a fiery orange-red jumpsuit drenched in giant cherry blossoms. There was a dash of menswear (see: Kelly green plaid golf shorts with a deep brown blazer) before the real strength of the show took root in the form of a Marimekko-esque green flower print, bursting with color and cut in a series of minimalistic shapes. Appropriately, the show closed on a high-necked halter frock in a lime and Kelly green flower power print.
Tommy Hilfiger Women's
Tommy's classic Americana took a slight reverie down memory lane back to the sixties for an amalgam of ponchos (say hello to more color-blocking!), crisp tweeds, voluminous raincoats, many of which coordinated with the generously-proportioned totes in equally juicy color matches; even tank-style one-piece swimsuits marched down the runway with the same color-blocked schematics. The palette of hues was groovy but polished, with plenty of tangerine touches, moments of maroon and bright blues and greens in practically-primary hues—but, in typical Hilfiger fashion, the simple, clean lines meant nothing clashed or looked distractingly busy. A moment of saucy red leather suiting lent some spice to the otherwise peppy—though not overtly preppy—spate of looks, and wooden-heeled loafers grounded the getups, just made for stylish loafing around.
Lela Rose
Classy as ever, Lela Rose's show started off in a different, quieter manner than usual: with a three-minute long moment of reflection in pitch darkness as John Lennon's voice sang "Imagine." The crowd sang along in a touching moment of solidarity and remembrance before the clothes took center stage. With the neon graveyard of Las Vegas and Coney Island as her inspirational foundation, Riose created a refined, lady-like collection of full dresses, sleek separates and a sprinkling of outerwear. The first few looks were gray silk dresses with pale flower prints, though the tone definitely shifted to more and more color. Of note was a V-neck cap-sleeved dress that looked like a Coney Island ice cream trunk had melted into a wearable puddle of yellow, cream, and Creamsicle-orange stripes. Neon orange color popped on the inside of khaki above the knee coats. The most striking print was a little more Vegas than Big Apple. Bright purple, blue, lime, and orange slashes showed up in a sequence of skirts, shorts, and shift dresses (the latter modeled by the designer herself). She continued to play with pattern through the end of the show with several numbers in sheer Swiss-dot and pale metallic champagne gowns. Suddenly, Coney Island and Vegas look surprisingly chicer than ever before.
Tracy Reese
The hats were looking a little jaunty, the parasols a little flirty, and the clothes totally wearable at Tracy Reese. The designer said she wanted to keep the clothes feminine and real, and she achieved her goal. Using mostly crepe silk and fine knits, Reese whipped up pearly-hued jumpsuits with wide sailor collars, hooded knee-length anoraks in case of spring showers, and lacy short-shorts. Known best for her frocks, she showed a gorgeous array, notably an off-the-shoulder mini dress in coral and white stripes that packed plenty of sass—and another shoulder-bearer in an elegant dove grey silk faille number, nipped at the waist and flared at the hem. The final look was literally cheeky, as a model donned a transparent lace tiered gown with knit lingerie underneath.
The electric Wild West that Thakoon Panichgul dreamed up for his spring collection was a hybrid of glitzy brights befitting a beauty pageant, mussed up with the twang of a cowgirl's swagger. Turquoise silk skinny pants were paired with matching blazers and tops that were accented with orange lace. Saloon dresses with full hoop skirts added curves to the lithe models, and like any good Western classic, paisley abounded: red and orange takes on simple collared skirt dresses as well as on jackets, which were gussied down with denim paneling. The uniting factor between several shifts in color and print was the bright gold metallic horizontal stripes that broke up monotony on skirts, paisley floor sweeping gowns, and khaki shorts. All that glitters may not be gold, but Thakoon certainly understood the importance of this precious metal in his collection.
Daryl K
Bon anniversaire, Daryl K! Designer Daryl Kerrigan feted her 20th year crafting edgy streetwear with a rockin' runway at Gavin Brown's gallery. Models strutted to the drum beats of Gang Gang Dancer's Lizzy Bougatsos in a retrospective of Daryl K favorites, including her standby leather leggings, mesh tanks, and slouchy jodhpurs. New this season was a painterly abstraction (avec red, turquoise, saffron, and lilac hues) from artist, club owner, and musician Spencer Sweeney. "We've been in the same circle for a long time," said Kerrigan about her print collaborator. "He has a great New York energy I infused in the clothes. You can actually see the brush strokes in the digital prints." Then, why the blue paint splotches on Kerrigan's arms? "Oh, Spencer started painting a white sleeveless jacket last minute. I was his assistant, holding the jacket and swinging it around to air-dry it." A true artist collaboration at its best.

It was the most physically challenging thing I have ever done. Let me take you back to the beginning to explain how I got from not being able to run one half of a mile, to doing this sprint triathalon.
*a sprint triathalon means it's shorter than a more typical tri. It was a 250 yard swim, 12.5 mile bike, and 2 mile run.
So, it's summer. My husband is deep into P90X. He's lookin' good. He's getting fit. In fact, he lost about 15 lbs and he wasn't overweight to begin with! He went from a no-pack to a 6-pack. He was in, what we like to call, "Beast-Mode".
So while he's getting all healthy and eating better, I'm sitting around doing the same old same old. I have never had a particularly healthy diet. I can take in a ton of sugar. I also would never book a "lunch" time at the studio so it was pretty common for me to chug a coke and cram some goldfish in my mouth for lunch.
I was inspired by my husbands new healthy lifestyle but not remotely interested in P90X. So while sitting in Midway airport retuning to Raleigh from a week at home, my sister and I started talking about mini-triathalons. Long story short, we found one in Knightdale (which is only 10-15 minutes away) and talked seriously about doing it.
I told my husband about it and he jumped right on board, which he always does! My sister decided to wait a little bit, so it ended up just being Justin and I. We asked Chris and Mary if they were interested, both of them being runners, and they were--so it turned into the four of us.
My athletic P90X-ed husband asked me if I wanted to join him on a two mile run one Sunday afternoon in July. We had already decided to do the Tri, so I thought, "Well sure. I've got to start somewhere!".
So we went out, at 1:00 in 105 degrees and ran. I lasted about 6 minutes. (I'm aware that these are not ideal conditions for a first run, but just go with me here)
I quickly learned that I was wildly out of shape and had to get into gear for this Tri.
So I started training, seriously, for it in August. We joined a gym with a pool, and I started going 4-5 days a week. I didn't have a schedule, but I just started at what I was worst at and worked up from there. I wanted to get running down since that was my biggest struggle.
I would get on the treadmill, set it for 20 minutes, and start my training. I would run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute, run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute, until I got to 20 minutes. And slowly increase from there. Eventually, I could run 20 minutes confidently without walking.
While I was getting into running shape, I was also biking (mostly indoor) and swimming. I had to learn how to properly swim for this Tri. I could doggy paddle, but that's about it!
My husband taught me how to swim, and we would train together on Saturday mornings. I loved that time with him. We would go bright and early, either run or bike to start, and then head to the pool to swim. For a lot of our training the outdoor pool was open so we would be outside swimming laps at 8:00a. It was so peaceful outside, but such a tough workout in the pool.
Swimming is no joke.
So, from August to October I would train in all three areas. I spent most of my time running and swimming, but in hind sight I wish I would have biked more.
The day before the Tri, Chris, Mary, Justin and I went to pick up our packets and bibs. I wasn't feeling very nervous about it, but after we left the info session, I was nervous. It became real.
We "drove" the bike route to get a feel for it and it was looooooooong. Oh man, this bike was going to be tough. There was an abundance of hills.
We returned home that evening and got our stuff ready for an early start the next morning. We had to be at the location at 6:00am!
Justin and I both bought triathalon outfits/uniform/whatever at a local store that was going out of business--how perfect. So we tried those on one more time, grabbed our towels, goggles, sun glasses, extra socks, shoes and I added a long sleeve shirt that I thought I may want during the 50 degree bike ride. We load the bikes in the car, and make our peanut butter sandwiches for the morning.
So, if you are new to triathlons, you wear the same thing during each leg of the race. It's basically spandex (you will see in the photos) and could not be less flattering. So my slogan for race day was "The worst I've ever looked, but the best I've ever felt", in a jovial tone.
Neither of us slept well that night, of course, and had to be up at 4:30a.
We arrive at the race location when it was still dark and freezing. I think the temperature was 45 degrees. Justin points out that our fingers are going to absolutely freeze during the bike ride. I wish I packed gloves!
We get checked in, get our numbers written on us in permanent marker, attach our chips to our ankles, and wait for the start. The four of us are excited, nervous, and anxious. Of the 300 people in attendance, there was a huge variety of skill levels, which helped me relax a little. The serious triathletes were at the front. They were skinny, already walking around barefoot, and confident. Then as the numbers grew, the variety of people and skill levels increased. A lot of people were beginners like the four of us.
Justin and Chris were seeded earlier than Mary and I since they were faster swimmers. They were called into the pool area and Mary and I crammed our way through the crowd to watch them. I was most nervous about the swim so I thought watching it would help me, and it did. But it also affirmed my greatest fear--the swim was chaos. Somewhat organized, but a little chaotic.
You didn't swim up and down the same lane, you weaved through the lanes like a maze. This was the most efficient way to get 300 people through. The hard part was not knowing how to space the swimmers and either passing people or being passed. There were plenty of times where 4-5 swimmers were in the same lane swimming opposite directions. It was a little crazy.
Justin and Chris got through it, and both did well. When Mary and I got in the pool, two of the tallest women competing got in right behind us. We should have had them go first, but we didn't. Sure enough, only 1 lap into my swim, they both passed me--which was completely fine, but it sort of gets you out of rhythm.
Swimming up and down the lanes went fine, it was the turns that caused a little trouble. But all in all, it was the quickest part of the triathalon and in some ways the easiest.
I climbed out of the pool and was blasted by the cold air. I jogged to the transition area where my bike was racked. I toweled off as best as I could, threw my helmet on, and tried to dry my feet. I pulled my socks and shoes on and when I stood back up to pull on my long sleeve shirt, I could feel water dripping from my outfit down into my shoes. My feet were soaked. But, I had to go.
I hop on my bike and ride. And about 1 minute in I realize I forgot my sunglasses.
As it turns out, my soaking wet feet was much more uncomfortable than my freezing hands. I was cold! And already out of breath. I tried to shift gears but my thumbs were so cold I could barely muster the strength.
The worst hill of the bike ride was right at the beginning. I really wanted to pedal through it but it was just too steep. I followed the several people in front of me and hopped off to walk it up the hill. It took forever. It was great to get past that and get into a good groove.
The most challenging part of the bike ride, other than the frequent hills, was the isolation. There was a lot of time where I was by myself. I could see a person way in front, and was occasionally passed by another biker, but it was pretty quiet out there. That was the most mentally exhausting.
Upon my return from the longest bike ride of my life, I saw Mary who had just started her run. I knew I was close to the next transition, and I also knew Justin and Chris were finished.
I pulled in from my bike ride, and there was my wonderful husband cheering me on. He was so excited and proud of me, it was so sweet. I got off my bike and he said, "Your legs will feel better". I'm thinking,"well, they are kind of tired but they aren't that bad. . .I don't know what he's talking about". I give him a high-five and head out on my run.
I pushed through it, and was able to run almost all of the 2 miles. I grabbed a cup of water from the water girls and threw it on my face just like they do in the movies. :)
The run, since I was well-prepared for it, was challenging but not as hard as I thought.
I ran through the final shute and had completed my first sprint triathlon.
I was so proud. And so proud of my husband and my friends. And so glad it was over!
We all shared stories over orange slices and water about our experiences on each leg of the race. It was really great to hear we all had a successful race and finished in about the time we thought we would.
Justin and Chris finished in 1 hour, 13 minutes, with Justin only 38 seconds behind Chris. Mary finished in 1 hour, 33 minutes, and I finished in 1 hour, 43 minutes.
I anticipated, based on my training beforehand, that it would take about an hour and a half (without transitions), so I was glad to be near that time!
Okay, now it's time for pictures of my hot husband and pictures that capture the essence of an exhausted semi-atheltic triathlete (me), Chris on his bike, and Mary--the runner--who posed for the camera--because why not? She's just running? Psshhhttt. easy. :)

The State of State Standards 2006
August 29, 2006
Michael J. Petrilli
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Two-thirds of schoolchildren in America attend class in states with mediocre (or worse) expectations for what their students should learn. That's just one of the findings of Fordham's The State of State Standards 2006, which evaluates state academic standards. The average state grade is a 'C-minus'--the same as six years earlier, even though most states revised their standards since 2000.

Science education in America is under attack, with "discovery learning" on one flank and the Discovery Institute on the other. That's the core finding of this comprehensive review of state science standards, the first since 2000. Written by pre-eminent biologist Paul R. Gross, The State of State Science Standards 2006 finds that even though the majority of states have reworked, or completely re-written, their science standards over the past five years, we're no better off now than before. The good news is that many of the standards are easily fixed. The public's anxiety about the future of our nation's scientific prowess is palpable,and reasonable. How serious are we in addressing their concerns?

Less Than Proficient
October 24, 2005

Paul Gross
Almost every week a new report or commission decries the decline of America's preeminence in science, and calls for the nation's education system to raise standards in order for our economy to remain competitive with the rest of the world. Within this context, the National Assessment Governing Board is preparing to launch a new science assessment for 2009. Curriculum developers and textbook writers are likely to follow its lead. Fordham couldn't help but wonder: is the draft science Framework up to the challenge? Using much the same criteria applied in the Foundation's state science standards reviews (due out this December), our reviewers answered: no. As author (and esteemed biologist) Paul R. Gross wrote, The Framework is an interesting start, but there is much work to be done if it is to achieve its potential usefulness.

Mayhem in the Middle: How middle schools have failed America, and how to make them work
September 14, 2005
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Cheri Pierson Yecke
American middle schools have become the places "where academic achievement goes to die." So says Cheri Yecke, K-12 Education Chancellor of Florida and author of the new Fordham report Mayhem in the Middle: How middle schools have failed America, and how to make them work. Today's middle schools have succumbed to a concept of "middle schoolism" in which a strong academic curriculum is traded for one that focuses more on emotional and social development, and less on learning the basics. And the achievement data reflects "middle schoolism's" results. In 1999, U.S. eighth graders scored nine points below average on the TIMSS assessment of math. What's more, these same eighth graders had outperformed the average by 28 points as fourth graders in 1995! According to Fordham President Chester E. Finn, Jr., "Trying to fix high schools while ignoring middle schools is like bandaging a wound before treating it for infection."

Fwd: It's All About the Kids

In just more than five years, Mary Anne Stanton has led 13 Catholic schools from high-poverty Washington, D.C. neighborhoods into a consortium that has not only strengthened each school's financial health, but has also greatly improved the academic performance of the children the schools are charged with educating. To get there, she's installed a new standards-based curriculum, shaken up old bureaucratic approaches, and streamlined operations. In its latest Fwd: Arresting Insights in Education, the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation presents a compelling story of just how much change can be made by one determined school leader with a vision.

States still have far to go in setting rigorous, high quality expectations for K-12 math instruction. Although a majority have replaced or revised their math standards since 2000, many have failed to make substantial improvements. The review was led by David Klein, Professor of Mathematics at California State University-Northridge, and evaluates the content, writing quality, and clarity of K-12 math standards in each state. Klein and his team attribute many of the shortcomings to overuse and wrong applications of manipulatives and calculators; wrong-headed guidance from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; and lack of true mathematics competence among those writing the standards.

Do states' current English/language arts and reading standards expect what they should? Are they demanding enough? Clear enough? Are states using them to guide not only the curriculum and assessment system for students but also their teacher-training programs? Sandra Stotsky, research scholar at Northeastern University and former senior associate commissioner in the Massachusetts Department of Education, finds that most states have revised or replaced their standards since 2000 and made some improvements, especially to K-8 standards. However, major shortcomings remain in other areas including high school literature requirements.

The Mad, Mad World of Textbook Adoption
September 29, 2004
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Diane Ravitch
Statewide textbook adoption, the process by which 21 states dictate the textbooks that schools and districts can use, is fundamentally flawed. It distorts the market, entices extremist groups to hijack the curriculum, enriches the textbook cartel, and papers the land with mediocre instructional materials that cannot fulfill their important education mission. Tinkering with it won't set it right, concludes this latest Fordham Institute report. Legislators and governors in adoption states should eliminate the process, letting individual schools, individual districts, or even individual teachers choose their own textbooks.

Bonds Indicted [guilty on 1/4] [wrist whacked!]
A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (as always, locked for the duration of major international championship)
Reggie played a lot of left before he was a Yank. I think Bonds won a lot of GG's because there weren't many good fielders playing left in the NL in the 1990's. The most contested GG's were in CF and among the RF's. Were he a true five-tooler, he'd have occupied right as Van Slyke, or center.
Being one of the premier LF's in the NL from the late 80's to early 90's was as empty as being one of the top wide receivers in the Big 8 in the 1980's- who was one competing against?
e.g.- What merit is there being one of the top heavyweight boxers during an era when the superior talent is in the middle and lighter weight classifications? It's all relative.
Re: GG
I don't disagree with anything you've said, but I would add that you would be hard pressed to find a better fielding left fielder in the history of baseball that was appreciably better than Bonds in his early years. However, I agree that a left field GG doesn't carry the prestige of a CF or RF GG, but I do believe that a left field GG probably has more prestige than a 1st base or pitching GG.
Like a Bucket of Warm Spit

"...Funny - back when I played ball we always put the crappiest fielder out in right . . ."
That's because not that many little kids bat lefty, so fewer balls are hit there. The more advanced the baseball, the more sweet-swinging lefties one encounters (and switchers too). And even some of the best righty batters aren't dead pull hitters.
Re: rf
And when the ball is not traveling that fast, it is easier to get around on it. At 100 mph is goes to right more often, I would think.
Re: rf
Actually, I knew that. It was just a (typically) spurious comment.
bad hammy wrote:
"...Actually, I knew that. It was just a (typically) spurious comment..."
I knew that.
What kills me is that unlike many followers of track and field, I've heard some baseball fans say, "Bonds was already HOF bound prior to 2000, he still had to meet the ball, he still had to have great plate discipline and supreme hand-eye coordination. Drugs can't improve that. Look at all the walks, and his OBP. No one else is close. Look at his slugging pct."
To which I'd retort- "If (for the sake of argument he took 'em) PED's don't help, then why take 'em?"
(then there'd be the whole, "Well that doesn't help him get around on a 90 mph fastball")
Like fun it doesn't, upper body strength aids speed and power- watch any powerfully built sprinter run the first 20-40 meters out of the blocks- and note how most of those w/ the fastest starts are built.
The people who say that PED's can't improve your ability to make contact with the ball don't understand physics and/or baseball. Of course PED's improve bat speed. The difference between a 400' home run and a 500' foot home run is greater bat speed. Furthermore, if it takes a batter a few hundredths of a second less to get the bat around, then the batter can wait a few hundredths of a second later before he starts his swing, which means that he can also watch the pitch for a few hundredths of a second longer before he commits to a swing. In addition to this, the biochemist who developed "the clear" claims that it increases an athlete's mental focus.
Is there any scientific data to back up the eyesight claim? Or is it just something that has entered the general consciousness because the writer for Outside claimed that it did?
My empirical evidence that it doesn't would center around the fact that if it did, the Pentagon would have sucked up every available microgram years ago and all fighter pilots/snipers/et al would be on a steady diet. No? This is a substance in limited supply.
I think gh is partially right, but since HGH can be reproduced in large quantities, and there might even be returns to scale, if the pentagon was soaking up large quantities it need not impact the market price much and in fact might reduce it (always the economist).
it can? That's not my understanding (not that I'm an expert in the field). I thought one of the great turnoffs of the whole HGH thing (setting aside the not-really-significant world of sports) was that the illegal traffic was diverting a limited resource from people who really needed it. ???
HGH is very expensive, but it is not clear that 'diverting' the drug from its proper use is the cause of the high price. In part it is under the category of 'orphan drug'. It is offered by a number of companies and is produced by rDNA methods; my guess is that the production cost is not nearly so high as the price. Some of the docs could probably provide a better read.
I first heard of it from the Outside article. Here is a quick google result:
I'm not a doctor, but my impression is that if you have 20-100 vision, HGH can help get it back closer to 20-20. If you already have 20-20 vision, it isn't going to cause you to see things miles away, or give you X-ray vision.
Re: RF-CF-LF
That part is true . . .
According to my understanding, this case will be a lot harder to make than the Marion Jones case. When Jones was shown "the clear" by federal investigators, she said that she had never seen or used it before. Bonds, on the other hand, admitted to using it, but claims that he didn't know it was a steroid at the time he used it. Jones lied about "what she did", while Bonds is accused of lying about "what he believed". It will interesting to see how they make that case without Greg Anderson. I also wonder if it would be illegal for Bonds to give Anderson money now that the Feds have decided that they won't be using Anderson as a witness. Maybe law dude can help us out.
I believe the Williams/Fainaru-Wada book lays out the starting point for him, which is either '99 or '00, in direct response to the McGwire/Sosa explosion of '98. There was a specific cause/effect.
And given the state of baseball's testing then (err, NOW), there's no reason he shouldn't go into the HOF or that he should have an asterisk. Sad truth is that he had the same playing field (npi) as everyone else in that feebly-moderated sport.

True. That said, baseball writers abhor him, and when first eligible in 2012, he's got about as much chance of election and induction as Ted Danson.
Why does the media wink at or ignore other famous cheaters in baseball's history such as Gaylord Perry, who named his autobiography Me and the Spitter? Can you believe this guy even had the temerity to approach the makers of Vaseline about endorsing the product.
Could it be that Gaylord Perry wasn't a pr--ck? The baseball journalists are the gatekeepers to Cooperstown. Ballplayers know that. The writers weren't that enamored w/ Steve Carlton either, but Lefty didn't break the most revered record in team sport.
The indictment (and conviction, should it come) gives the writers an out when Bonds becomes eligible.
That's easy to answer.
Baseball has a time-honored (and do mean honored) tradition in which the word "cheat" doesn't really exist. Call it gamesmanship or whatever you like. Getting an edge on the opposition by anything short of mayhem has always been considered a part of the game.
I remember in elementary school reading a primer on baseball (written by the likes of a Clare Bee) which described all the things that were part and parcel of the game, starting w/ the spitball and going on through various ways to scuff the ball w/ your belt buckle, what have you.
It's a whole different culture, completely out of tune w/ the English concepts of "amateurism" which pervade track.
The thing about Pete Rose is that MLB passed the rule banning baseball gamblers from the HOF after the fact, and then made it retroactive so that it could be applied to Pete Rose. Something about that just doesn't seem right to me.
They've always been able to do what they want. Remember, Jackie Robinson wasn't allowed to join the Brooklyn Dodgers because of some court ruling a la James Meredith. It was strictly a MLB decision.
That's not true.
The Hall Of Fame, NOT Baseball, passed a rule that anyone on the permanently ineligible(banned) list cannot be a candidate for the HOF. It is not specific to gambling, though certainly the Rose situation was the genesis of the rule. Previously, banned players were excluded by a gentlemen's agreement among voters, Shoeless Joe Jackson being the most notable, but with Rose the HOF made it official.
Does the HOF exist completely independent of MLB? I always thought that it was an extension of MLB. Wasn't the rule passed after the fact? Prior to this rule, there was nothing preventing voters from inducting Shoeless Joe Jackson from being inducted into the HOF despite this so-called gentlemen's agreement. I suspect the powers-that-be passed the rule because of fear that there might be enough voter sympathy for Pete Rose to get him into the HOF.
The Baseball Hall Of Fame is completely independent of MLB.
it is absolutely right. I love pete rose (as great a baseball physical talent as there ever was), but I have no problem with retroactive rules like this, they are right and proper and good for society. The HOF is not a democratic institution and should never be one!
Well, so are elections in the US. No invites for the under 18s or felons, amongst others.
You make a good point. The constitution gives no one the right to vote. It only stipulates that you can't discriminate with regards to the right to vote on the basis of race (15th amendment) and sex (19th amendment). All other forms of discrimination with respect to the right to vote are perfectly legal.
True, and you can add legal aliens to that list

You've probably heard that you're not supposed to pour old medications down the toilet or drain. That's because drugs can get into the water supply and cause problems for people and wildlife.
But you can't just toss medicines or unused prescriptions in the trash either. You don't want medications — and your private health information — to fall into the wrong hands.
Destroying old medications (like expired over-the-counter medicines or unused prescriptions) and then putting them in the trash is the way to go.
Here's how:
A few prescription medications need to be disposed of immediately after they are no longer needed. These should still be flushed down the toilet. If your prescription is one of these, the label or sticker on the container should say so.
Ask your pharmacist about National Prescription Take-Back Day. This program lets you bring unused medications to a place where they can be disposed of safely.

- Beautiful! Review by Elisabeth
I am constantly receiving compliments on my "purse." People never believe me when I tell them it's actually a diaper bag. I'm always pulling out the changing pad to show them it really is! This is a beautiful bag, and while it's too small if I'm going to be out all day, it's the perfect size for running to the grocery store of picking up big sister from school. I currently have 2 size 4 diapers, a checkbook wallet, keys, a lip balm, the wipes case full of wipes, a pair of sunglasses and my cell phone in there and it still closes beautifully. I highly recommend this bag!

Washington Heart Ball caps off a decade of success
Washington Heart Ball caps off a decade of success
Olivia McClay
Kelly Henry
Mariah Mascara
Kelly Henry
Mariah Mascara
Three young ladies whose remarkable stories have been shared at Heart Balls and Heart Walks past will update attendees at this year's 10th Anniversary Washington County & Mon Valley Heart Ball on March 2.
Mariah Mascara, a junior at Trinity High School, has been involved with the organization since she was 5 years old, shortly after having open-heart surgery to correct a heart defect. "At that young age, she was able to go and speak before CEOs, and do it eloquently," said Diana Cummings, director of the American Heart Association in Washington. "She also went to Harrisburg and Washington, D.C., for us, and was one of the first to get Senator Santorum to sign a bill for us."
Kelly Henry, a senior at Peters Township High School, should have died three times before her first birthday. Thankfully, after several life-saving – albeit risky – surgeries, she has made amazing strides through the years. She has been involved with the Heart Walk, the Heart Ball and Heart Camp. She even had to watch her father, Bill, suffer, and recover from, congestive heart failure. "Her disease, and everything that she has gone through, has not given her any bitterness," Cummings said. "She plans on becoming a cardiologist and focusing on children and adolescents."
Olivia McClay is a freshman in college, but following an accident in her early teenage years, suffered a stroke. "The year after it happened, she was calling me and asking what she could do to create awareness," Cummings said. "She wanted to say, 'Hey young people, this can happen to you. I was a healthy young girl with no problems.'"
The trio has bonded over their experiences, and to help with the Open Your Heart Campaign at the event, each will tell attendees 10 things that they have been able to do because of research and advancements in heart disease. For example, Henry noted that she got accepted into 10 colleges, got to go to 10 dances, and work 10 hours a week at her part time job. "We wanted to make it light, but also serious to realize that things that we all take for granted, these girls might not have been able to do," Cummings said.
This is why the research that the American Heart Association does is so important – Cummings said the research of just one doctor can save millions of lives. "Not only is heart disease the number one killer in America, it is also the number one birth defect," Cummings said. "It may be a birth defect that is noticeable right away, or it may show up when they are 5 or 7 or 10. You don't know."
The theme of this year's Heart Ball is "Moulin Rouge." It takes place on March 2 at the Southpointe Hilton Garden Inn. Tickets for the VIP portion and for the main event are still available, and can be purchased by calling 412-208-3554, or by visiting heart.org/washingtonpaheartball.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Bensoni
2010 September 10
Runway Reviews: Billy Reid, Vena Cava, Bensoni, Rachel Comey
Getty Images View Gallery
Menswear at New York Fashion Week has a tendency to pick a schtick—bow-tied uber-preppy? Bearded lumberjacks? Polished dandy? Sporty neons?—but Billy Reid, GQ's best menswear designer of 2010, has managed to bypass them all and still produce collections that every man can wear. Sure, there was preppy (a higher-waisted, pleated, cropped trouser felt fresh) and rugged (an olive army jacket), but also a fantastic tobacco brown leather jacket, a tennis-y white V-neck sweater, a denim jacket with elbow patches, and a suit worn perfectly disheveled with a buttoned-wrong shirt underneath. Could it be that the wonderfully normal Florence, Alabama-based designer just makes great clothes for real men—fashion-inclined or otherwise? Whatever it is, it's working.
Though Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai were only toddlers during the Memphis art movement in the '80s, the decade played heavily throughout their boho-chic show. Setting the stage were freestyle hanging painted wooden geometrical shaped sculptures that reflected the Memphis aesthetic of bright colors, geometric shapes, and a sense of humor. Channeling the easy, breezy style of Talitha Getty, their loose gauzy drop-waisted dresses and caftans floated next to tailored short suits paired with pleated halter tops and raglan sleeves. Geometric color blocked appliquéd silk slip dresses popped amongst the neutral palette, paired with Halston-esque bold statement necklaces. True to their So Cal roots, comfort, ease, and a relaxed attitude that doesn't take fashion too seriously reverberated throughout their collection, which was complemented by their low-heeled natural wood clog wedges they designed for TenOverSix.
Sonia Yoon and Benjamin Channing Clyburn adore a print, and they celebrated their love of all things lively and invigorating in their 2011 Spring presentation, which takes the Bensoni girl seamlessly from day to night. Long, flowing silhouettes are perfect for resting on a grassy knoll in the afternoon and shorter, kicky frocks were futuristic and discotheque-ready. The collection fuses two different types of girls: the bourgeois bohemian and the tech savvy woman, or the "cybergoth," as the designing duo dubbed it. Yoon explained, "We wanted to tell the story about this girl who is hippie and bohemian, yet she's modern and she's on this acid trip into the future."
Rachel Comey described her Spring 2011 collection as more serious than some of her past spring collections, but as far as charm and delicateness go, it was business as usual. Opening with white eyelet, Swiss dot, and a featherlight, almost muslin-esque cotton, the blouses and frocks were almost reminiscent of doll clothes, and that's not a bad thing; her coquettish followers will eat it up. Mini peplums and apron tops were just as girlish, though high-waisted trousers brought versatility, as did breezy print separates which were matched a la pajamas or mixed for a quirkier feel. Fans of Comey's shoe collections won't be disappointed in her chunky block heels, open-toe lace-ups, and macramé-strap wedges.

New Mary Rose Museum welcomed by Hampshire County Council
Wednesday, 05 June 2013
The new Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth will bring huge economic, heritage and educational benefits to Hampshire as a whole according to Hampshire County Council Leader, Councillor Roy Perry who has welcomed the opening of the landmark venue.
The £35million Museum received funding support from the County Council in 2009-10 with a contribution of £1million towards building and equipping the new venue. Now open to the public following its official launch last week, Councillor Perry believes the Museum will not only attract tourism from across the globe, but will also act as valuable educational resource for school children from across Hampshire who will be able to benefit from the world-class learning resource provided by the new centre of excellence for Tudor History, which houses 19,000 artefacts recovered from the site of the historic ship wreck.
The Mary Rose collection is historically unique and internationally significant, as recognised by renowned experts and academic institutions. She is the only recovered sixteenth century ship in the world and is in effect a 'time capsule' of a period of English history. The Mary Rose Museum is therefore a key attractor within Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, which in turn is of key strategic importance to both Portsmouth and Hampshire's overall £2.3 billion tourism economy.
Cllr Perry said: "The whole of Hampshire will benefit from the new Mary Rose Museum and the County Council's contribution towards it is a significant investment in Hampshire's cultural legacy and future economic prosperity. We are a naval county and very proud of that part of our heritage, and this new world-class venue will allow this extraordinary ship and all her treasures to be preserved for future generations to enjoy.
"As a major international cultural tourist attraction and educational venue, the Museum will also give children from Hampshire's schools and beyond, a unique opportunity to learn about this chapter of Hampshire's naval history, allowing them to immerse themselves in the environment of a Tudor warship, and handle and interact with various exhibits.
"The Museum will also help Portsmouth Harbour develop its importance as a cultural destination which will in turn improve the wellbeing and quality of life of Hampshire residents. It will contribute to the regeneration of Gosport and its proud seafaring heritage, as visitors to Portsmouth are encouraged to cross the harbour to visit other naval museums in Gosport, and in turn boost local trade.
"Meanwhile, as one of only two British warships to survive the First World War, enemy action in the Gallipoli campaign, and the ravages of time, we hope that HMS M33 may also one day become just as famous as the Mary Rose, now that it has been rescued from oblivion by the County Council. The vessel is set to become another popular public attraction at Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, particularly as the nation remembers the 1914-18 War during next year's centenary commemorations."
The Trust's Learning and Outreach programme has been considerably strengthened over the last few years, especially in Hampshire. Work to date includes a major exhibition at the Willis Museum Sainsbury Gallery, and a programme of outreach taking the Mary Rose story to a variety of community groups across the county, with particular emphasis on engaging adult groups with special access needs. The new Museum will deliver a unique opportunity for Hampshire schools to participate in a history and science programme of national excellence. Hampshire County Council Arts and Museums works closely with the Mary Rose Trust to support delivery of this work.

Nice Cardigan
Very nice sweater. Soft and very comfortable. Longer back is very nice. I wore buttoned with cami underneath but it would work unbuttoned over blouse as well. I got black. Great price for a pretty and functional sweater. Not too heavy so would work well under a winter coat as well.

Used this as the body wood on a recent Bass build. The blank I received was a three piece body, even thickness and no knots. Topped it with Walnut and used black binding then routed the edge to gain a two tone effect. Looks really good. Will use this again.
I was very pleased with the quality on this piece of wood.
I added some colour and lacquer to the finish. Think the wood turned out great.
a bit pricey for when you figure the board foot.
It is an excellent wood! It has a good finishing, great color and I know that it will be perfect for my guitar! I am very pleased with the quality and I am very surprised how fast I received my order.I live across the ocean and it took only two days to arrive. Wow!!I strongly recommend it!
I've got a block glued of 3 pieces of different density. Blank is glued very uncarefully, there is a space between 2 parts 0,5 mm. It appeared after I removed 5 mm of thickness. Please, take more attention to quality control.
I bought an alder body blank, and it arrived in perfect conditions, totally dry and cured. It was a great purchase. The guitar I made sounds (and looks) wonderfully!
