Thinking Spring
By Jeff Idelson
Thank goodness for Spring Training. It means baseball has finally returned and the regular season is just around the corner.
I recently spent a week in Arizona. Can't believe there are 14 teams there now, and when the Reds migrate west next spring, there will be an even split between Florida and Arizona. It seems like only yesterday when almost every team was in the Sunshine State.
I had a chance to reminisce about my Yankees Spring Training memories a couple of weeks ago when Gov. Charlie Crist invited me to speak at the recently rejuvenated annual Florida Baseball Dinner at Tropicana Field in St. Pete.
Sitting on the dais with Hall of Famers Tony Perez, Bill Mazeroski, Al Kaline, Mike Schmidt, Phil Niekro and Wade Boggs brought back great thoughts about my five springs in Ft. Lauderdale from 1989-93. There's nothing better than 10 weeks in Florida to beat the cold, dreary New York winters.
In Arizona, I was based in Scottsdale, which is conveniently located in close proximity to the Giants, Brewers, Angels, A's and Cubs Spring Training facilities. I spent my time visiting with team owners, Hall of Famers, current players, media members and fans.
For instance, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsorf is on the Hall of Fame Board of Directors. After lunch with Jerry, his general manager, Kenny Williams, and his special assistant, Dennis Gilbert, at the team's new facility in Glendale, the Sox played the Dodgers. Jerry, Dennis and I watched the game from Jerry's suite, and Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, a native New Englander like me, joined us in the eighth inning, just in time to see his Dodgers rally from a two-run deficit to win in their last at-bat.
My visit was a chance to catch Frank and Dennis up on the inner-workings of the Hall of Fame. The silver lining for me was watching White Sox first-round draft pick Gordon Beckham, picked eighth overall out of the University of Georgia, play shortstop and show why he'll likely soon join Alexei Ramirez (whose swing reminds me a lot of Alfonso Soriano) in the middle of the infield. Keep an eye on Beckham. He won't be wearing uniform No. 80 for long.
Reality hit home when I realized that Beckham was born Sept. 16, 1986, 12 days before the Red Sox clinched the pennant while I was working for them after recently graduating from Connecticut College. Nothing like a dose of reality …
Later in the week, I headed over to Scottsdale Stadium with friend Rick Swig, one of our Hall of Fame Champions from the Bay Area. I also had a chance to spend some time in the Giants clubhouse and speak with Randy Johnson, Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum.
Lincecum and I first met in January when I presented him with his 2008 National League Cy Young Award at the Baseball Writers dinner. I presented him with plaque postcards of our only two Hall of Famers from Washington state — Ryne Sandberg and Earl Averill. I told him that I doubted he would need inspiration, but if he ever did, to take a look at these two legends' plaques. He has the build of Juan Marichal, the delivery of Goose Gossage, the dominance of Sandy Koufax and the velocity of Bob Feller.
Zito loves the history of the game. We talked quite a bit about the Museum and our collections, as well as Bruce Hurst, one of his favorite players growing up in San Diego. I said to him, "I thought your 12-6 curveball looked familiar." Hurst was his model and used his devastating out pitch to perfection in Fenway Park when I worked in Boston.
With Johnson five wins away from 300, I wanted to be sure he has us in his thoughts when he reaches the magical milestone. He's always been generous, and I know he won't disappoint us when he reaches that plateau. I told him that I doubted anyone would ever get to 300 wins again, unless the economy got so bad that teams were forced to scale back to smaller rosters and the old three-man rotations returned.
Randy also loves the history of the game and a signed Christy Mathewson book has a spot in his library.
While in the Giants clubhouse, I also exchanged pleasantries with Mike Murphy, the wonderful clubhouse manager who's been there since the club went west, as well as the two Willies — Mays and McCovey. Both guys were in great spirits and were looking forward to coming back for Hall of Fame Weekend.
During the game, I sat with Cubs scout Gary Hughes and USA Today national writer Bob Nightengale, two longtime friends, in scout seats, right behind home plate. The Rockies and Giants were playing. I had no idea Sal Fasano was still playing, catching for the Rockies.
Dinners are meant for catching up with Hall of Famers and friends. Dinner with Robin Yount and his brother Larry, George Brett, White Sox vice chairman Eddie Einhorn and longtime Hall supporter Bob Crotty was a lot of fun. Robin dragged us to a restaurant he liked. "The general manager's from Milwaukee. How could it be bad?" Robin said. He was right. It was terrific. He also let us know about his new product endorsement — Robinade — a form of lemonade sold only in Wisconsin and promoted in commercials by Bob Uecker. "Flying off the shelves," he quipped.
I also caught up with three of our Cubs Hall of Famers — Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams and Sandberg — for dinner one night. They all feel good about the Cubs in 2009.
Toward the end of my stay, we had a day-long event for our Champions — those who support the Museum with an annual contribution of $5,000 or more. The day, put together and co-hosted by A's team doctor and Hall of Fame Champion Elliott Schwartz and his wife, Patti, consisted of going to see the A's and Mariners play, where A's GM Billy Beane talked to our group for a while. "I lockered next to Rickey Henderson in 1980," remembered Beane. "I was sent down to Triple-A for three weeks and then was recalled. 'Where were you?' said Henderson upon my return," Beane laughed.
Dinner that night was wonderful, with Hughes, Nightengale, Marty Lurie, who handles A's pregame, and A's announcer Ken Korach joining us and sharing stories. Williams and his wife, Shirley, were our guests of honor. "Good, better, best," said Billy. "Never let it rest, 'til good is better and better is best."
Lots of laughs, lots of baseball, lots of fun.
Over and out.
Jeff Idelson is the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

APE was a total blast to walk around. It was our first time driving to San Francisco from Fresno and we definitely went the slowest way possible. It didn't help that it was raining like crazy and there were two huge wrecks along the way. Pretty crazy. But the first day we got there right as it was closing down. Kinda sad but oh well. I truthfully wanted to walk around and see everything on the first day so I could get home Sunday and work on Snafu a bit. But since we got there so late we decided to stay overnight and go back to APE. Saturday night we went and saw two art galleries. The first one Alex Pardee of Bunnywith Fame was participating in. It was called Crom and it was based around Conan the Barbarian (not the Comedian. Although similar) It was pretty rad. I got introduced to a bunch of really great artists there but honestly it was all such a whirl I can barely remember much about it besides it was neat. The 2nd art show we went to was a comic art show for Isotope. It was held in a pretty cool comic shop and had a bunch of toilet seats that were drawn on by comic...ers. I thought it was a neat idea.
Anyhow the next day I got to walk around APE and see the artists exhibiting. There was a LOT of crazy good talent there like seriously amazing. I knew a few people there personally like Alex Pardee of course but also Spike (Angela Melick) from Wasted Talent, Sam Logan from Sam and Fuzzy, Jennie Breeden from the Devil's Panties, and Jeph Jacques and his wife Christi from Questionable Content were there as well. Although I didn't get a chance to say hi or bye to Jeph he was busy talking to peoples the whole time and I didn't want to be rude... which now in retrospect I think may have come off as super rude... oops. And I think his wife Christi (who's rad as all RAD) I'm pretty sure thought I thought she was the Devil's Panties author. So I think I might have came off as a total douche to the Question Content people in general. Not the first time I've been social awkward and I can assure the world it won't be the last.

The leading issues of our day, the destruction of marriage and the wanton murder of the unborn, on the other hand, are no mere social ills or skirmishes we are losing. Keep Reading -

I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw the cover of that magazine! Earlier this year, my non-quilter grandma gave me a stack of hand pieced, hand embroidered butterflies made from vintage fabrics on a plain muslin background. She said she didn't know the history of the blocks, only that she thought her childhood housekeeper gave them to my great-grandmother and that she's been storing them all these years. Its a mystery, and as much as I stare at them, I haven't been able to figure out what to do with them. Maybe the answer is to get some vintage fabric and try to duplicate them so I have enough butterflies for a quilt top similar to the photo on the cover?

How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

Kan. reveals cleanup plan for polluted Topeka site
Published on -9/11/2013, 9:54 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The state's environmental regulatory agency is seeking public comment on a $2.3 million plan to clean up an industrial site in Topeka that has been contaminated with chemicals for decades.
Investigators say Reid Chemical Co. which dumped volatile organic compound at the site from the 1940s to the 1960s, polluting the land and groundwater. The cleanup is the responsibility of the site's current user, Contech Engineering Solutions and AK Steel Corp., formerly known as Armco.
Under the state's plan, a three-year-old network of vapor extraction devices would draw out residual chemicals through more than 30 wells, while carbon substrate injected through the wells would degrade the pollutants, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1b4Of2F ).
"Reid stored and formulated chemicals," and it is believed the company disposed of some chemicals in a lagoon at the site, said Ryan Weiser, site remediation unit chief for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Environmental damage from the lagoon and at a Reid building, forced the removal of 1,529 tons of soil to a landfill in 2008.
Weiser said work at the site could continue for a decade but that contaminants might not be completely neutralized for 25 years. No one is currently using groundwater from wells contaminated by the chemicals, he said.
KDHE is gathering written comment on its plan through Oct. 9.
Armco bought the property in the 1960s and 1970s from the railroad company now known as Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Reid Chemical had leased the property from Armco and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A Kansas House committee approved a measure Wednesday that seeks to prohibit the federal government from regulating firearms, ammunition and gun accessories manufactured and sold only in the state.
The House Federal and State Affairs Committee removed a secondary provision that would have made it illegal for any doctor other than a psychiatrist to ask patients about gun ownership.
"My intent is to protect the integrity of this bill so it passes the House with flying colors," said Rep. Steve Brunk, R-Wichita, vice chairman of the committee. Brunk successfully introduced the amendment to strip the physician provision from the bill, which then passed the committee on voice vote, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/YzSqYh ).
Rep. John Rubin, R-Shawnee, told the committee he favored taking out that portion to "save that discussion for another day."
The Kansas Attorney General's Office raised concerns that aspects of the measure that could run up against the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause, which stipulates federal law supercedes state law when the two conflict. The state attorney general's office estimated up to $625,000 in legal fees incurred for defending the law in the next three years.
The Kansas Medical Society also questioned bill when it involved doctors.
Rachelle Colombo, spokeswoman for the medical society, told the committee its interest in the bill would fade without that section and "we'll just watch it closely as it proceeds to the full House."
Colombo's group said the physician section was included in the bill because of "fear that information about firearm possession could be used by the government to identify gun owners and confiscate their firearms."

"I am buying a third pair (!) of these for my 78-yr old mother who, just about, lives in them. She wears them rain or shine and claims that they never slip on a wet asphalt (she lives in Europe so she walks a lot). The ease of putting them on is an added bonus for an osteoporosis suffering mom. Also, as these sneakers come in wider sizes my mom's bunions have plenty of room to be accomodated so she does not feel the pain of breaking the shoes in. Highly reccomended for anyone in a need of a well supported, cushioned sneaker."

"I love the style of this shoe but it needs more cushioning. The toe box used to be higher, which was better, and the Velcro of the top strap needs to stick better ( i.e., it needs to stick when it's pulled over less). I've been wearing this shoe for many, many years, and never had trouble until recently (until the latest update)."

� ' '.. COLLEGE � / VOL. XXIV, No. 21 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA.; WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1938 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1938 PRICE 10 CENTS Bryn Mawr Wins Acclaim as Russia _$M&t** J~l League Morley Awarded First Prize For "Litvinoff" Speech On League Inaction SAYLOR OF HAVERFORD CHAIRMAN'S ASSEMBLY The Bryn Mawr International Re- lations Club took a prominent part in the Mqdel Assembly of the League of Nations held at Rutgers University on April eighth and ninth. Last year Bryn Mawr represented Denmark and so suffered from an inferiority com- plex; but this year self-confidence was restored when we were allotted Rus sia and the trip turned out to be a great success. Louise' Morley, '40, won first prize fml her speech in the Friday Plenary S�sipn, Dr. Fenwick ^as quoted by China, and many dip- lomatic manoeuvers were won by the three Bryn Mawr delegates at the informal dance. On Friday morning Tillman Say- lor, of Haverford, opened the first plenary session and such routine business followed as the appointment of the Credentials Committee and the election of the president djf the as- sembly. After this camedne debates, in which Louise Morley, '40, proved the best diplomat. Impersonating the Soviet Union, she pointed out that the League has failed to keep down aggression largely through its at- tempt to be universal. This ideal uni- versality has caused artificial and in- effective measures, for the League's own covenant permits the withdrawal of members for aggressive purposes. Therefore the League members, rath- er than holding to this ideal of uni- versality, should be united by a ''com- mon universal idea such as that of peace, of respecting the independence and integrity of all peoples, of out- lawing forces as an instrument in national policy." The silence with which we have ac- cepted the recent aggressive actions of three nations is dangerous, the "So- viet Union" believes, for the aggress- ors may interpret our silence to .mean agreement with their principles^ As a solution, the speaker_urged that the League make its policy that of strong non-intervention and show by one ex- ample that "aggressiveness does not pay." Then the three previously men- tioned States would return and help attain the ideal of a universal League as an instrument of peace. The afternoon and the following morning were filled by commission sessions dealing with mandates, Far- Eastern affairs, and internal conflict.

Imperialistic Economy Labor Must Fight MMttfiam Governments Common Room, April 6.�Mr. I. Zimmerman, formerly organizer for the C. I. O. in Delaware, spoke to the Industrial Group on Labor and War, with special reference to the May Bill. Declaring that imperialistic econ- omy is one of the chief causes of war, Mr. Zimmerman stated that "the only force to do away with war is labor," because it alone can fight effectively against the present system. He urged free action of the labor party in the political field to guard against op- pressive legislation and to bring about more adequate social conditions. By opposing rearmament and the in- crease of military budgets labor would form a most effective weapon against war. Imperialistic economy causes war, Mr. Zimmerman said, because such a system, to expand, must have colonies to supply raw materials and a market for manufactured goods and surplus capital. The division and reallocating of colonies in 1919 are the main causes of today's conflict between the "haves" and the "have-nots." With such a cause we cannot simply say that it it is the nature of man to fight, or expect to stop war by expressions of indignation. Every nation is now preparing for war, not only by rearmament but by more insidious means; through educa- tion, the R. 0. T. C. and organized propaganda groups. The speaker quoted Fechner, head of the C. C. C, as saying, "All of these boys are 85 per cent army trained. . . All of the guiding spirits (of the C. C. C.) are military men." The "M Day" (Mobilization Day) plans which were brought to light in the course of a munitions investiga- tion are the basis, Mr. Zimmerman said, of the earlier Shepherd-Hill Bill and of the May Bill. The pro- visions of the May Bill come under four heads: price fixing, drafting of man pffiver for military service and in- dustry, control of industry, and prep- aration of a treasury report on in- dustry and income. He pointed out the provisions which seem most sig- nificant and dangerous to labor. The bill gives the president absolute au- thority in time of emergency to con- script everyone in the United States, to fix prices, wages, rents and serv- ices. No exemptions will be made in drafting, and those not taken at once will be given "deferred classification." Only women and children are exempt, and since in wartime all restrictions on labor for women and children would be removed, they would replace the. drafted men in industry. Under the bill the president may supervise! all those in contrbl of business, aria Continued on Paps Four-------- -------:------------------------------------------ COLLEGE CALENDAR Thursday, April H.�Prof. Harold Laski will speak on The "ritish Labor Party and De- mocracy.

Cornerstone of New Rhoads Hall is Laid Patience Satirizes Pre-Raphaelite School; Contributed to Downfall of Aestheticism fIt is usually a moot point, whether operas and operettas should be ex- plained beforehand. On the one hand, an opera libretto gives the plot m brief for those who presumably will not know Ihe words; on the other, Gilbert and Sullivan operettas are so crystal clear that they need no ex- planation. But most of them do not have as definite a historical back- ground as Patience, which in 1881 burst upon a whole society of Lon- don aesthetes, and became the most spectacular piece of satire of the period. ^^ The average ^ndeW^ricT'Sullivan- ite is well aware that Bunthorne is meant to be Oscar Wilde, who. dwelt lovingly in his poetry and in his daily life on "strange sorrows and strange sins." Wilde settled in London in 1878, and immediately became the idol of a swarm of imitators. His favorite attire was black velvet knee breeches and a flowing tie; in his right "hand he would hold a pure white calla lily, sniffing it thoughtfully every now and I then to indicate his abstraction from a gross world. When Patience opened, he was to be seen in the front stalls, holding his lily and laughing indul- gently. Punch, also laughing, wrote a poem on him, "Aesthete of aesthetes, what's in a name? His actions are Wilde, but his verse is tame." The character of Swinburne is not so easily recognizable in Grosvenor, who is a healthy version of the "fleshy poet," a handsome youth who diverts all the feminine attention from Bun- thorne. In reality, Swinburne had a mass of red hair, and a pale,interest- ing face, but he was much too small for the smallest of love-sick maidens. His only claim to fame as a muscular Olympian hero was that he did not strike stained-glass attitudes, and represented" a robuster school than langorous Oscar Wilde. For that mat- ter, Wilde was more preoccupied with the world'than he pretended to be, and according to Beerbohm's carica- Co'ntlnued on Pace Three Coca Cola, Book List, Lipstick� Are Enclosed as Typical Of College Life RJioads Hall, April 9.�The corner- stone for the new dormitory was laid with simple ceremony. Mr. Charles Rhoads, president of the corporation and son of the hall's namesake, smoothed out the last lump of mor- tar with a silver trowel. Upon this the large hollow block of granite, carved MCMXXXVIII, which will be at the southern base of the entrance arch, was lowered into place. Mr. Rhoads led the small gathering in three cheers for the hall, Miss Park, the architect and the contractors, and the ceremony was complete. A suitable inscription for the trowel will be planned by Miss Park and it will be preserved in the new hall. The copper box which will be scaled inside the granite contains a collection Of items for the benefit of future archeologists and the follow- ing letter: "To whoever opens this box: Greet- ings: "We have enclosed in this corner- stone a number of things which we think will give you some indication of how we work and spend our leisure time here in Bryn Mawr TJollege dur- ing the spring of 1938.

Starting on Monday, April 18, Cor- nelia Otis Skinner will be at the For- rest Theatre in Philadelphia in her. own dramatization of Margaret Ayer Barnes' novel, Edna His Wife. Miss Skinner is donating all the proceeds of Monday night for the benefit of the Theatre Workshop, but there will be no increase in the price of tickets. Students from Bryn Mawr and Bald- win will give out leaflets at the thea- tre with information about the Work- shop. Edna His Wife is Miss Skinner's lirst full-length play. It starts in the early 1900's,'with the first scene laid in a beer garden where a party is being given for a brakeman on the Blue Island Railroad; Edna, her sis- ter, and two young men have come on their Monarch Safety bicycles. Miss Skinner plays the part of Edna in alternate scenes, but the character of Paul Jones, her powerful and ruth- less husband, dominates the entire play, even though he naturally never appears. Miss Skinner has an extra- ordinary faculty for creating invisible characters who have as much reality as her own portrayals. The sets were designed by Donald Oenslager and the costumes by Ma- dame Helene Pons, who does most of the costuming for the Theatre Guild. Mrs. Otis Skinner always wanted to see her daughter framed, as it were, in a comparatively small setting, and Mr. Oenslager has carried out this idea. In the past the"whole stage has been left bare except for a few obvious properties, making it difficult for Miss Skinner to fill, in a dramatic sense, a space which is usually occu- pied by at least two people. Mr. Oen- slager was also confronted by the problem of providing properties for imaginary characters; in the beer garden qcene, for instance, he de- cided to have only one chair for Edna at a table, even though eight or nine people are supposed to sit down with her. In another scene Miss Skinner, playing the part of Edna's" mother and laden with real packages, receives an invisible and quite convincing tele- gram. From her mother Miss Skinner in- herited a passion for meticulous cor- rectness. When Mrs. Skinner directed May Day, she made it so authentic that English directors came specially to see it. Miss Skinner has studied the early 90's with such care for Edna His Wife that even her slang is correct. The prices for tickets are: Orches- tra, $2.28; Mezzanine, $1.71; Balcony, $1.14 and $1.57. They will be on sale in Mrs. Chadwick-Collins' office in Taylor continuously until Monday.

Her summers are divided "between sailing a sloop in Maine or on the Chesapeake Bay and mountain climb- ing or bicycling in Europe, where she contracted her fondness for all things German. Goodhart, April 9.�In his second lecture, Dr. Edwin Gay discussed money as the third cause of the price revolution during the sixteenth cen- tury. The growth of population and the advance in technology were treated last week. Throughout the sixteenth century, according to Dr. Gay, there was a steady transition from the old "na- tural" economy to the new "money" economy. This meant that business was transacted in cash rather than in goods. Since very little commercial paper was used except in international trade, the result was a demand for new, supplies of metal for coinage. This need was first met by the de- velopment of silver-mines in Southern Germany and Bohemia. Later, after the discovery of America, great amounts of precious metals, especially silver, were also imported from the Spanish possessions in Mexico and Peru. The supply of silver was par- ticularly large, and became more and more*-important with time. From 1493 to 1560 it formed 55 % of the European total; from 1561 to 1620, it formed 7898; and from 1621 to 1660, 80r/f. According to the estimate of Soet- beer, between" 1493 and 1560 the total European supply of both gold and silver was approximately $549,400,000 (using the value of �WTa'bllar before ,1933). Of this, $310,000,000 came from Europe and Africa, and $238,- 000,000 from America. From 1561 to 1620, the total was $1,099,000,000. Owing to the lack of accurate ac- counts, such figures can only be ap- proximately correct. A new and greatly reduced estimate of the Amer- ican imports has been advanced by Earl J. Hamilton, who was able roughly to deduce, from its registers, the complete amount imported. Ac- cording to his figures, the import made a total of $854,500,000. This account, however, was taken from official records, and makes.no allowance for (he great quantity of metal which was smuggled in, unregistered, and which - probably formed anywhere from 10% to M% of the total supply. If such a 507r increase is added to his original figures, it brings them much closer to those of Soetbeer, which still, how- ever, remain too high. The correct estimate probably lies somewhere be- tween the two. Even with Soetbeer's estimate, the average total supply is only 8 million during the first period, '18 million during the second, and 20 million dur- ing the third. Compared with the total yearly production' ih 1932->-545 million�this seems rather slight. But it is really relatively large when it is compared to the needs of the society of the time. This "flow of metals" had two chief European points of diffusion, Antwerp and Spain, from which the American supply was distributed. Depreciation and juggling with the coinage had veYy little to do with the price revolution. In England, the depreciation from 1544 to 1553 '"was a jog in the price movement, but was �� Continued on FlM Six LASKI TO SPEAK Tomorrow night Harold J. Laski, of the University of Lon- don, will speak in Goodhart on The British Labor Party and- Democracy. Mr. Laski is dis- tinguished as an economist and as an author. He has made a special effort to come to Bryn Mawr, through the intercession of Miss Stapleton, and we are privileged in being able to hear him.

CPBN's Learning Lab
CPBN's Learning Lab – Embeds Students in Corporate Culture to Teach Real-Life Journalism and Media Skills
– Scheduled to Open August 2013, Construction Starting This Fall –
HARTFORD, Conn. (October 5, 2012) – The Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN) has been Connecticut's largest classroom for 50 years, bringing high-quality programs to thousands of people every day. Now CPBN is strengthening its mission to serve, educate and enlighten by creating a state-of-the-art teaching facility right inside its own building.
Beginning in the fall of 2013, the Learning Lab – 20,000 square feet of classroom and studio space housed on two floors of CPBN's Asylum Hill facility – will engage 100 high school seniors each year in the opportunity to learn about, experience and practice broadcast journalism under the guidance of CPBN career professionals. Through an agreement with the Hartford Public Schools, the entire Journalism & Media Academy (JMA) senior class will spend a year at the Learning Lab developing their capstone and media portfolios that will enable them to strengthen their understanding of academic subjects while developing critical career and life skills.
"No other public broadcasting institution in the country is taking a third of its facility and building a school there," stated Jerry Franklin, President & CEO of CPBN. "It's a trailblazing educational project, and we couldn't be more proud to partner with Hartford Public Schools on it."
This versatile space is being designed by lead Architect Robert Roach, Friar Associates in Farmington, Conn. "This learning center will include classrooms, an auditorium, production studios, editing suites, a screening room, state-of-the-art audio and mixing studios and a media gallery to support the variety of needs of the community" stated Robert Roach. The program will provide learners of all ages with unparalleled learning opportunities that will enable them to succeed as college graduates and as media literate and informed citizens.
In addition to the space serving JMA high school seniors during the school day, the Learning Lab also plans to provide relevant workforce development programs for adults, with an initial focus on U.S. veterans. Returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan combat zones face unprecedented challenges as they try to reintegrate into civilian society. The unemployment rate for veterans is higher than the national average. In addition to the tremendous stress of re-entering society in general, veterans are in need of programs to help them translate military skills into civilian jobs.
To address this issue, CPBN's Learning Lab is developing a new initiative that will employ best practices in adult education to help veterans "bridge" their technical military backgrounds to new skills in digital media applications. The program will also include real-world learning experiences to help them explore potential careers and secure future employment.
The Learning Lab also will build on the success of several current pilot education programs to serve 200 at-risk youth each year through afterschool and summer programs, with additional individuals throughout the state served through mobile learning initiatives. Plus, the Learning Lab will serve as a welcoming public venue in Hartford for discussions, artistic performances and other activities that foster community building and civic engagement.
With the renovation of the two floors of the building being handled by KBE Building Corporation the Learning Lab is scheduled to begin construction in the fall of 2012 and be completed in the late spring of 2013.
To date, CPBN has raised $1.8 million from foundations, corporations and private gifts toward a total goal of $3.5 million and the statewide network continues to seek the support of financial partners. To learn more about funding opportunities connected to the Learning Lab, contact Donna Sodipo, Director of Educational Services at 860-275-7337 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I had just finished working on my latest card game; I was rather chuffed with it: the rules were elegant and nuanced: there was a wealth of strategies you could use in the game. I explained the rules to two friends, and they began to play. I was expecting them to be amazed with the game.
Instead, I was amazed with how one had managed to find a neat little trick to — unexpectedly — win the game: a loophole!
After the discovery, the game was never the same. I eventually decided to change the card game into a board game so that the game could keep my original idea, but without the loophole.
After the change in my game, I became obsessed with loopholes in games. I began to research them and find how they could affect games. In this article, I summarize my research. This article covers what loopholes are, and why they are bad, with a big list of generic types of loopholes that can be found in games. The article also gives some advice on how to find and correct these nasty little game breakers.

The undisputed champion of Season 10 is country boy Scotty McCreery. Predicted by many to win, McCreery held on after a last minute surge by upstart Lauren Alaina in the youngest finals ever on the series. The season finale had it all. Marc Anthony, Sheila E., J. Lo and a team of feathered dancers performed a riveting salsa number, Beyonce sang Crazy in Love with the female finalists, and Tim McGraw, Jack Black, Judas Priest, Carrie Underwood, Lil Jon and TLC all performed with finalists. If you missed it, you still have a chance to catch all the finalists on tour with 2011 American Idols Live tickets at venues across the country. American Idol Down to Two In a high stakes final, Lauen Alaina almost couldn't go on when her voice failed early in the day because of inflammed vocal cords. With Haley Reinhart warming up in the wings to take her place, American Idol's doctor worked a little pharmaceutical magic and Alaina went on to nail one of season's highlights. In a stirring rendition of her debut single Like My Mother Does, Alaina gracefully tackled the Idol staircase and embraced her mother without missing a note, literally singing over her mother's shoulder into the mic, embodying the definition of poise under pressure. Chief challenger Scotty McCreery sat calm, cool and collected in the background sharpening his knives and delivering one of his patented country rockers, leaving it up to anyone's guess who will be this season's American Idol. Get your cheap 2011 American Idol tickets to see all the finalists live on 2011 American Idols Live tour dates. Top 3 American Idol Finalists Perform In the Judge's choice episode of American Idol's tenth season, finalists Haley Reinhart, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina were schooled by survivor Beyonce Knowles who also premiered her new Tina Turner-Mad Max-Thunderdome-inspired video for Run the World (Girls) off her forthcoming album 4. Despite Beyonce's presence, the Contestant's Choice round leaned country except for Haley's unexpectedly rockin' Zepplin cover of What Is and What Should Never Be. The second round also featured country selections from this year's standouts The Band Perry and Thompson Square with Haley reaching into the dusty back catalogue once again to channel Stevie Nicks with Fleetwood Mac's Rihannon. In the next and last Judge's Choice round, Scotty and Lauren cover two more country legends, Kenny Rogers and Lee Ann womack respectively, while Haley, the odd woman out this episode, got Alannis Morissette's growler You Oughta Know. It's still up in the air who will be the first to fall but fans have a safety knowing they can see all their favorites perform with American Idol Live tickets. Check the American Idols Live tour dates and catch the top 11 at a venue near you. A Sort of Homecoming for American Idol Finalists In an American Idol tradition, the three finalists for the show's tenth season returned to their hometowns to throngs of screaming fans. Haley Reinhart, Scott McCreery and Lauren Alaina received hero's welcomes as they explored their home turf, visited old haunts and reconnected with family, and friends. All three finalists will be performing on American Idols Live tour dates. American Idol tickets are stil available for most venues. James Durbin Voted Off American Idol Last night's American Idol was a star-studded tear jerker, replete with all of the grandstanding emotional melodrama that fans have come to expect from the show. James Durbin and Scotty McCreery sang a counntry duet prior to Durbin's surprising dismissal. Durbin, visibly shocked and overcome with emotion, wept openly as he departed. Lauren Alania, Haley Reinhart and McCreery lived to fight in the next round when Idol will visit each artist's hometown. Depite Durbin's departure, fans can see him again with 2011 American Idols Live tickets on American Idol tour dates at venues across the country. Lady GaGa Visits American Idol With the American Idols Live tour kicking off in July, the four finalists are warming up in the last few shows of the season with a little help from the one and only Lady GaGa. GaGa stopped by the show to coach the final four and provide some inspiration for their penultimate performances. In typical GaGa fashion, everyone's favorite provacateur urged her charges to act more psychotic and sexy as she pranced, paraded and swiveled hips on stage. James Durbin, Haley Reinhart, Scott McCreery and Lauren Alania perfomred Journey's world devouring Don't Stop Believin', Michal Jackson's Earth Song, Alan Jackson's Where Were You (When the World Stoped Turning), Martina McBride's Anyway, Ben E.King's I Who Have Nothing, The Coaster's Young Blood, Elvis Presley's Trouble and The Searchers' Love Potion #9. Steven Tyler continued his reign as the creepiest old man on television while J-Lo and Randy Jackson turned in more of their typical wooden dialogue. American Idol Tour | American Idols Live!
