Experiencing Cooperstown: An Intern's Perspective
A day in the life of the stereotypical intern has the basic ingredients of a Dilbert comic strip. Each day's forecast typically calls for eight hours of filing papers, answering phones and periodically refilling the "World's Greatest Boss" coffee mug.
Fortunately, my time as a Public Programs intern at the Hall of Fame has been far from stereotypical. Words such as extraordinary, unforgettable and surreal properly reflect my Cooperstown experience.
My morning begins with a scenic commute through the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery, where bronze portraits of baseball legends rest peacefully in silent alcoves. Roberto Clemente's gaze, Stan the Man's smile and Ty Cobb's smirk greet me as I pass by quietly, not wanting to disrupt the stillness of the moment.
Then, the doors open, the Hall of Fame roars to life and the public programs begin.
My purpose this summer is to develop, prepare and conduct daily programs for fans to enjoy. My favorite part of programming? The passionate visitors. Whether I'm demonstrating the sweet spot on a bat, or recreating Hank Aaron's 715th home run call, the fans' love for the game is always evident.
Artifact spotlights, which present artifacts not currently on display in the Museum, are particularly special programs to run. The treasures presented bring out the utmost zeal from fans of all ages. I will never forget the man from Milwaukee with the youthful glint in his eyes as I held Craig Biggio's batting gloves; I will always remember the young girl from Florida gazing at Derek Jeter's bat like it was fashioned from solid gold.
Moments like these are amazing because my experience with baseball has come full circle. Before this summer, I was simply a fan. Now, I contribute to improving the experience for other fans and sustaining the legacy of America's national pastime.
No papers, phones or coffee mugs. Just fun, excitement and passion for the game of baseball.

At Windermere Baptist Conference Center many people have discovered the life-saving love of Jesus. Last month, a Windermere lifeguard physically saved the life of a 12-year-old girl who lost consciousness while swimming.
While on duty, lifeguard Kasey Laguna, a college student from Columbia, spotted a swimmer floating face down in the water. A friend of the swimmer also started yelling for help. Laguna jumped into the water and pulled the girl, who was wearing a lifejacket, to the beach. Another lifeguard called for emergency assistance from Windermere's on-campus First Responder and EMT while Laguna began lifesaving measures. The First Responder immediately dialed 911 which prompted response from Mid-County Fire Department, St. John's Ambulance District, Camden County Sheriff's Department & the Missouri State Water Patrol. The girl regained consciousness and was taken to St. John's Hospital in Springfield as a precaution. She was released the next day, expected to make a full recovery.
Laguna was recognized with a certificate from the Missouri Water Patrol and the Mid-County Fire Protection District. Laguna and others at Windermere were credited with saving the girl's life. Windermere was also commended for the use of lifejackets.
"We are pleased and proud Kasey responded so effectively to the emergency," stated Windermere CEO/President Dan Bench. "She is a fully certified lifeguard and represents well a staff that is trained to do what is needed. What could have been a terrible tragedy turned out to be an unwanted opportunity to illustrate how we work hard at serving and protecting our guests."

When Dan Rather stepped down from the CBS Evening News this week, right-wing media critics ought to have been among those most sorry to see him go. Rather has long served as their "liberal media" bogeyman, personifying the nightly news' supposed tendency to skewer Republicans and coddle Democrats. But given the central role Rather plays in the conservative critique of the media, the evidence for his alleged liberalism is remarkably flimsy.
If Rather's unguarded comments over the years indicate any kind of bias, it's a fondness for power and an unwavering support for American military action. During the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, Rather professed support for illegal attacks on that country's electrical supply (at a National Press Club appearance, 6/25/99): "When U.S. pilots in U.S. aircraft turn off the lights, for me, it's 'we.' And about that I have no apology." Rather has made similar comments about the Iraq war, acknowledging (CNN's Larry King Live, 4/14/03) that his reporting would reflect his view that "when my country is at war, I want my country to win."
But perhaps more distressing was Rather's explanation of the near-absence of media skepticism prior to the Iraq invasion (at a Harvard University forum on the media, 7/25/04): "Look, when a president of the United States, any president, Republican or Democrat, says these are the facts, there is heavy prejudice, including my own, to give him the benefit of any doubt, and for that I do not apologize."
These are clearly not the words of the mythical liberal crusader that has been caricatured by conservatives. And you can't find much evidence on his newscast to support their argument. A FAIR study of the network newscasts in 2001 (Extra!, 5-6/02) found that Rather's CBS Evening News featured substantially more Republicans than Democrats (76 percent vs. 23 percent). The differences between CBS and the other broadcast networks was slim, belying the notion that any of them have a left-wing bias.
CBS's coverage of the Iraq war was similarly skewed against the left: During the first three weeks of combat, Rather's broadcast had the highest percentage of official U.S. sources (75 percent) and the lowest number (less than 1 percent) of U.S. anti-war voices (Extra!, 5-6/03). Rather famously announced after the September 11 attacks (CBS's Late Show with David Letterman, 9/17/01) that "wherever [Bush] wants me to line up, just tell me where"; perhaps his most valuable service to Bush was the failure to pose difficult questions or feature dissenting perspectives on the Iraq war.
Rather's right-wing critics busily catalogue every fond remark Rather has made about Democratic politicians like Bill Clinton, while ignoring or downplaying the very same sycophancy when Republicans are the objects of Rather's affection--his calling Elizabeth Dole "my fair Liddy" at the 1996 Republican convention (8/14/96), or referring to Ronald Reagan (6/5/04) as "a conduit to connect us to who we had been and who we could be." On Reagan's passing (according to the Media Research Center, 6/6/04), Rather tipped his hat and remarked in his June 5 broadcast: "We will think of him always when the West wind blows."
Much of the discussion of Rather's retirement focused on the notorious "Memogate" report (60 Minutes, 9/8/04), whose use of dubious documents about George W. Bush's National Guard career reportedly hastened Rather's departure (as well as helping Bush keep his own job). But Rather was responsible for similarly questionable reporting that did not attract nearly as much critical attention. Rather's coverage of the Afghan mujahedeen in the 1980s, for example, reportedly relied on bogus re-enactments to buttress Rather's gung-ho reporting from the front lines of the resistance to the Soviet invasion (Extra!, 11=12/89).
And on September 11, 2001, Rather helped spread panic in New York and D.C. by irresponsibly reporting false rumors of terrorist incidents (Extra!, 11-12/01). Such lapses brought little condemnation, as they reinforced official propaganda rather than challenging powerful political interests.
Right-wing media critics and pundits have been effective in tagging Rather with the "liberal" label. But the context of Rather's entire career points to a different conclusion. More often than not, Rather's reporting followed the journalistic pattern that Rather himself criticized in 1991 (Boston Herald, 9/18/91):
Rather's retirement would be more of an occasion for regret if he had tried harder to fight that tendency-- in himself and in the news business in general.

"Lights on a car door handle? What's so great about that," I wondered when I first saw Magna International demo the feature. But then I noticed that it wasn't just the door handle that was illuminated, but also the ground next to the door, and it wasn't just an ordinary light shining down but also a projected logo. That's when I realized just how brilliant an idea door handle projection lighting is.
Aftermarket kits are available to illuminate door handles, but I've not yet seen anything like Magna's door handle projection lighting, which the firm is marketing to automakers.
Smart key fob technology allows an owner to unlock his/her vehicle without removing the fob from their pocket or purse. Unlocking the door typically turns on an interior light, but ponder for a moment the extra value in an exterior light, especially in a dark area. The primary value is the security of knowing that no one is lurking in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle, and that there is nothing slippery, squishy, or otherwise unpleasant to step in prior to ingress. Illuminating the door handle reduces the possibility that an owner's jewelry will scratch the vehicle's surface. Women to whom I described the feature saw the benefits immediately. Then, of course, there's the projected logo, which, presumably could be customized to, say, a sports fan's delight. Imagine (your favorite team) door handles!
Door handle projection lighting might seem like a little thing but so, in historical context, is a TV remote. It's not really all that far from the chair to the set, but how many of us would be willing to give up the remote?
According to a recent article posted at TheDetroitBureau.com, Elaine Bannon, Ford chief engineer for crossover vehicles, says the first order of business for a five-seater CUV is finding convenient, logical and secure places for all your stuff – storage nooks engineered into the door pockets, center console and center stack. Like a cup holder, for example, not that anyone would drink a hot beverage while driving.
Cup holders and projecting lighting for door handles. They may be little things, but they mean a lot.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A state regulatory board on Tuesday rejected Secretary of State Kris Kobach's proposal to fix allow some 12,000 residents in a suspended state of voter registration to participate in upcoming elections.
The change would have allowed residents who have yet to provide proof of citizenship to county election officials to cast provisional ballots in upcoming special elections. Residents would be required to show proof of citizenship before the election was certified.
Kansas enacted a law in 2011 requiring residents to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote starting Jan. 1, 2013. A new state computer system that was supposed to provide that verification to the secretary of state's office hasn't started sending the information to election officials.
Sen. Vicki Schmidt, a Topeka Republican and member of the state Rules and Regulations Board, said temporary fix would not solve the problem and that those casting provisional ballots would have the added burden of proving citizenship before the elections were certified for their votes to count.
"I don't believe a large percentage of the population knows what casting a provisional ballot means," Schmidt said. "They believe it is going to count. Sadly for these 12,000 plus individuals it will not count unless they take further action, and I think that is disingenuous at best."
Provisional ballots are allowed under Kansas law when election officials detect an error, such as a mistake in a voter's address, voting in a wrong precinct or failing to show valid photo identification. Those errors can be corrected up until county elections are certified and sent to the secretary of state.
Brad Bryant, deputy assistant secretary of state, said the temporary regulation was being sought so that those whose registrations are in suspense could participate in upcoming special elections scheduled locally statewide in the coming weeks. A permanent rule change, similar to the request made Tuesday, is scheduled to be discussed by the rules board during September when public comment will be taken.
The proof of citizenship requirement was part of changes to the Kansas elections laws approved in 2011. Kobach sought the changes to reduce the instances of voter fraud in the state and to make elections more secure.
Maryanna Quilty, president of the Shawnee County chapter of the League of Women Voters, said after the meeting that the problem with the registration laws was more evidence that it should be "rolled back."
"We are putting up a barrier to voting that doesn't need to be there," Quilty said.
Kobach tried during the 2012 legislative session to accelerate the date for showing proof of citizenship but was rebuked by legislators. The secretary of state envisioned a seamless system linking driver's licenses registration data, which includes citizenship information, with voter registration applications.
Bryant said if the data isn't provided from the Division of Vehicles to the secretary of state that residents still could take proof of citizenship to county election officers to complete their registration process and be eligible to vote. Acceptable proof would be a birth certificate or valid U.S. passport.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Revenue said the issue wasn't the agency's computer system but rather people who come in for a driver's license without proper documents.
Jeannine Koranda said the issue occurs when residents come in to renew a license, change their address or name and register to vote at the same time. Federal law requires the state to ask residents if they wish to register to vote, she said, but those registrations are only valid with proof of citizenship.
Those lacking proper documents are still sent to the secretary of state, Koranda said, but notices must be sent to residents letting them know they need to provide additional proof.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there any correlation with uterine, colon and breast cancers? My mother-in-law has had all three. She is currently anemic.
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
While there can be clustering of common cancers in a single person, the more they are, the more one thinks of possible genetic syndromes that can cause these multiple cancers. In this situation, one has to think about a couple of possibilities. Hereditary breast/ovarian cancer can cause all three cancers. Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome can cause colon and uterine cancers but breast cancer is usually not related. Both syndromes have multiple other cancers that are associated with them, but are fairly infrequent. There may be other syndromes causing this as well.
As to the current situation with the anemia, there can be many causes and you should discuss this with her physician directly. However, I might suggest that if no source for the anemia is found, and these studies haven't been performed, she might benefit from an investigation of the rest of the GI tract with an upper endoscopy and a small bowel series.
May 11, 2012 - Physical activity correlates with reduced all-cause and breast and colon cancer-specific mortality, according to a study published online May 8 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Boys Grade School Reebok ATV 19 Running Shoes
The Boys' Grade School Reebok ATV 19 Running Shoes have been designed for the little ones who enjoy going off the beaten path, the one where all the other kids have yet to venture.
With nineteen irregular lugs, these babies are designed to handle rugged terrain like the blacktop and kickball field. They have no problem stomping through P.E. and recess and they will provide the little one with the maximum traction they need when it comes to these uncertain surfaces.
Made of carbon rubber, the grip is based off just what it mentions in the name, an ATV. Like the grip that ATV tires provide, the grip on the Reebok ATV is designed to handle whatever playtime throws at it. It truly is, "Technology You Can Feel".

I ordered this for my husband, who was having a hard time finding a backpack that didn't look like he'd stolen it from a 4th grader (he's 6'3") and could handle a lot of daily abuse. He's a student at the conservatory, so typically lugs his 17" laptop, books, notebooks, percussion mallets, metronome, lunch, water bottle, etc. around campus, so needs a bag with lots of storage. This backpack fits him very well, has high quality zippers and fabric, lots of organizer pockets, padded shoulder straps and is built to take a beating. And he really likes the color, the reflective piping and it's comfortable to wear when fully loaded. One downside--his laptop does not fit in the largest sections of the backpack. Now, to be fair, this bag isn't designed with a laptop compartment, but since the bag measures 18.5" long, I thought the laptop could fit in there as it measures 17.3" long. Still a great bag--but going to have to exchange it to find something that works.
This is a great backpack! I am going back to grad school and wanted something big enough to carry a laptop, iPad, and my books- it does this no problem. It holds what I need without being cumbersome and the three main compartments make it easy to get to what I need. Very comfortable to carry as well. Much getter quality than some expensive packs I've carried over the years.
I love this backpack! I work full time and am a full time graduate student, and I need a backpack that will allow me to carry my laptop, books, all 3 meals, and pretty much my LIFE; this backpack makes the cut! I've been carrying it around stuffed to the brim for weeks now, and it's still in the same shape it was in when I bought it. Hopefully, it lasts as long as my previous backpack (about 5 years!). This backpack is a great product, and a steal!
We froze Capri Suns and Cokes in the freezer the night before, placed them in the back pack in the insulated part at 5:30 a.m. at 6:00 p.m. the drinks still had ice in them. Really kept cold/cold. The backpack has many pockets, appropriately sized, and all zippers can be closed on either side or the top, for your convience. I really love the back pack. But let me just say, so as not to mislead anyone. The Backpack was in the trunk of the car from 5:30 a.m. until 9:00 a.m., then on the train from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., then my husband carried it around outside from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., then back on the train and stayed there until 6:00 p.m. This was in N. FL and S. GA in April. Still, I was impressed.
I purchased this bag for my daughter and she loved it. it's perfect in size and meets all fer needs. Additionally the bag is well constructed and just the right weight without books. Great product at a great price. Thank you.
We purchased this backpack primarily for airplane travel, as we needed a bag that could hold a purse and fit under the seat in front of us. This backpack does the job well and is comfortable to carry. We can put a pair of shoes in outer mesh pocket which is a real plus when traveling. I'd buy it again.
The internal capacity is MUCH smaller than it would appear by the dimensions indicated in the description. The internal pockets for pens, phones, etc. do not hold a smart phone and / or a case for glasses. The first time I tried to use the internal key strap (one of the reasons, I chose this pack) the snap hook came loose form the strap. Apparently not sewn on very well. Since I have used it, and discarded the tags I cannot return it so look for at a Goodwill store near you soon.
Just the bag I was looking for! Perfect for a hike and travel. Ordered the orange bag but the color was more red. Otherwise, it is as described.
This was for my daughter as her last backpack was stolen. She really likes it. It has more room than her last one and she likes the fact that it's recycled.
The backpack is a great item. There are three large zippered compartments. The largest is sometimes difficult to find the zipper due to it being covered by overlapping fabric. Overall great for carrying items.

Legendary visit
By Bill Francis
As founder, chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, Thomas Tull has been responsible for some of the most popular films of the past half dozen years. So maybe it's appropriate that the first movie produced by this baseball fan's company was Batman Begins.
Tull, born and raised in Binghamton, N.Y., less than 70 miles from Cooperstown, visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday afternoon with his wife Alba and stepson Bret. During a break in the family's tour, Tull talked about what brought him to the home of the National Pastime.
"I haven't been here in over a decade, which is a travesty," Tull said. "Living in Los Angeles it's a little tougher, but I was in New York on business and just thought with the start of the season and everything that I had to get over here.
"For me, it's the connective fabric between the past, today and the fact that you guys are such amazing custodians of the game. Baseball, I think more than any other sport, has a reverence for the past – records, statistics – and it's all here under one roof."
Tull, 39, estimates that he has been to the Hall of Fame 10 times over the years, the first when he was brought by an uncle at the age of nine.
"I remember being excited to see everything but not quite having an appreciation for the plaques and the older players," he said. "I've always been in awe of the Hall of Fame. This place is absolute hallowed ground for me."
A multi-sport athlete at Maine-Endwell High School, Tull had the rare opportunity to play baseball a few times on Cooperstown's historic Doubleday Field. An outfielder, he continued his ball playing at nearby Hamilton College, eventually getting a tryout with the Atlanta Braves where, he joked, he was "not quite good enough to get a paycheck for it, so that's why I keep on hanging around places like these."
Besides Batman Begins (2005), other Legendary Pictures productions include Superman Returns (2006), 300 (2007), The Dark Knight (2008), Watchmen (2009), The Hangover (2009) and the recently released Clash of the Titans (2010).
"Since I was a little boy I've been a total movie geek, so it's a real privilege to do it. We make movies that I want to see, and when that stops working that I'll be done with that," Tull said. "Sometimes it's a lot of pressure, but at the same time I get to work with some amazing directors like Chris Nolan and Zack Snyder."
According to Tull, who counts The Natural as one of has favorite all-time films, he can see one day making a baseball movie.
"As far as baseball, I would love to do that if I could find the right story. Jackie Robinson is a story I think needs to be told," he said. "I would love to make a baseball movie if we could find the right story just because I'm so passionate about the game."
A Yankee rooter since childhood, with third baseman Graig Nettles a favorite, Tull is also a football fan and part-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"I love sports and I'm unbelievably fortunate," Tull said. "I sometimes feel like I'm Forrest Gump, like I just kind of wander in. It's pretty great."
Though his allegiance lies with the Bronx Bombers, and he makes it to as many Yankee games as possible, he does have season tickets for the Los Angeles Dodgers "just because it's baseball and it's in town."
As for why baseball still has this pull on him after all these years, Tull explained that "every spring I walk near a field and you can smell the dirt in the air. There's something unbelievably poetic about it in a way."

Moscow: Country Info
Destination guide
It has been an enigma to the outside world for several years, to the eyes of the most adventurous; Russia may be a group of distinct countries, all deserving to be explored. With over 17 million km2 and an annual average temperature of 5ºC, this country covers Eastern Europe and the north of Asia. A visa is required to visit the country of vodka.
You will need to Schedule a long journey on your agenda to visit the largest country in the world. Where today is estimated living 142 million inhabitants, thermometers record extreme changes. Up north in Siberia temperatures can reach negative 60ºC, as for in the south, the climate is less bleak. Russia is covered by four different climates (arctic; subarctic; temperate and subtropical) having a long snowy winter, temperate spring and a short hot summer with average temperatures of 25ºC, in Autumn it is rainy. If you consider the climate varied, the vast extent of the country, with over 17 million km2 , is also synonymous of contrasts. Besides the mandatory visits to the capital city of Moscow, St. Petersburg or the beautiful Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, your itinerary can include Zelenogradsk beaches' in the region of Kaliningrad, the picturesque town of Gorodets, to play some moves in the public chessboard of Elista or an experience in the thermal waters of the Natural Park Nalychevo in the volcanic Kamchatka Peninsula. When sitting at the table, discover the cuisine that comprises mostly fish dishes, poultry, mushrooms, fruits and honey, several types of bread, pancakes, beer and vodka will not lack. Just as the Matrioska, symbolic handicraft Russian figure, a good souvenir of this country.

Exactly what I wanted

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Faux Wood Blinds 2" Slat Premium 2":
These Blinds are exactly what I needed to update my son's bedroom and keep light out as well. They are very good quality, especially at these incredibly low prices. SO easy to install I don't know why people pay so much money to have it done for them.
Faux Wood Blinds
By Jenn
from Rochester, NY
I was a little apprehensive at first going with the Faux version of the 2" blinds. What I really wanted was the actual wood 2" blinds, but the faux version was significantly cheaper. I could not ignore the price difference. However, I was very happy with the end result. After installation, I find that the Faux blinds look very nice and I can hardly tell the difference. I even had a relative comment on my "wood" blinds!!Very happy with the end product!
We are very satisfied with our purchase.
By Shirley the Gambler
from Baton Rouge, LA
Our product was bought for our travel trailer. The quality of these blinds shows much pride was taken in the manufacturing of them. Our sizes were nothing close to standard size, and we were very pleased of how well they fit. Easy to use and are very functional for our need.

just measure and hang
By Babs
from Feasterville PA
Just remember to check and see if you need spacers the blilnds are very attractive easy to install.
Classic look and functional too.
By Guy
from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
My blinds were everything that I wanted and everything they were advertised to be. My only warning is, as Steve's instructions suggest, measure precisely. The factory provides exactly what you request. If your windows are not perfect, be sure to measure at the narrowest point.
Very satisfied

Better quality than the competition!
By Angie
from Nashport, Oh
We have purchased the same kind of blinds from the leading window treatment company in the past.Steve's blinds are not only a better deal but they are also of superior quality vs the competition. They were easy to install too.We are so happy with our purchase, these blinds added so much to the rooms that they look "overhauled" and updated by just adding the blinds.
Great Value!
By Nana Alicia
from Loveland, CO
I ordered these blinds for my son's new home. The quality of these premium 2" slat composite blinds are very similar to the Graber composite blinds I purchased recently from Steve's Blinds. They may be slightly lighter in weight, but the look and the operating mechanisms are very comparable. The valance is attractive and attaches to the headrail with two strong magnets, along with a plastic safety strip. These blinds are really nice and a great value for the price!
Very helpful for any problems

Tales from the Cactus League
By Jeff Idelson
I am so glad Spring Training is here, even if it was warmer in Cooperstown than in the desert for a few of the days I visited Arizona last week. Boy did I miss baseball. And in my job, I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to rub elbows with so many of the game's greats, bringing them closer to the Hall of Fame.
I got to see the Giants, Brewers, White Sox, Mariners, Indians, Reds, Royals and Rangers all play.
It was great to see the two reigning Cy Young award winners – Tim Lincecum and Zack Greinke – pitch. I brought Tim plaque postcards of Sandy Koufax and Jim Palmer. Why? They are the only Hall of Famers to win back-to-back Cy Young Awards. Perhaps they will help inspire Tim, not that he needs inspiration.
Before the Cactus League opener in Peoria, I visited my friends in the Mariners clubhouse: Head athletic trainer Rick Griffin and I talked about the health of his players; Ken Griffey Jr. told me he expected Ichiro to get twice as many regular season hits as he would – including spring training. "I'm aiming for 150 hits," said Junior. "Have you seen Ichiro get hot? You turn around, and he's gone 15-for-25. If anyone can get 300 hits, it's him." I don't doubt Griffey's sense of logic, having seen Ichiro play so many times.
Did you ever take an advanced or AP class in high school? I took AP Baseball last week with Professor Ryan. Nolan and I sat together for the Rangers-Royals game, where he gave me a breakdown of every player on the field. I had a similar experience a few days later with White Sox owner and Hall of Fame Board member Jerry Reinsdorf, who invited me to sit with him, his vice chairman, Eddie Einhorn, and his special assistant, Dennis Gilbert, the former agent for George Brett. I now know where the White Sox's strengths and weaknesses lie. Bobby Brett, George's brother, joined us.
We held our annual Cactus League Champions event in Goodyear, where the Indians and Reds train. It's a great complex. The Indians were very generous in hosting our Champions, those who support us with an annual donation of $5,000 or more.
Team President Paul Dolan and assistant GM Chris Antonetti addressed our group and let them know what to expect from the Indians this year. After the game, we all had dinner with Bob Feller and Fergie Jenkins, where they regaled the group with stories, photos and autographs.
Speaking of dinners, Billy Williams, Ryne Sandberg, Fergie and their wives joined me for dinner the night before. We toasted to a good 2010 Cubs team and the Williams' 50th wedding anniversary. Quite a feat for the Williamses, a lovely couple.
On my first night in Arizona, I was joined by Mickey Morabito and Steve Vucinich from the A's, Gary Hughes, the Cubs scout, Roland Hemond, the long-time Bill Veeck disciple who works for the Diamondbacks, and veteran writers Bob Nightengale, of USA Today, and Spink Award winner Tracy Ringolsby. We get together each spring to talk about scouting and the game today. We used to dine each year at the Pink Pony, a popular old-school steakhouse on North Scottsdale Road that finally closed its doors. We miss the Pony.
On my final evening, I hosted the dinner to end all dinners, at Don & Charlie's, a popular Scottsdale hangout with great steaks and ribs. We had a large group that included Bob Uecker, Rollie Fingers, Robin Yount and his brother Larry, George Brett and his guest Joe Randa, Mike Murphy, the Giants' clubhouse man since Day One in San Francisco, Brad Ziegler, my friend who pitches in the A's bullpen, Jerry, Eddie and Dennis from the White Sox, and Bob Crotty, who is a generous Hall of Fame supporter and owner of Green Diamonds Gallery in Cincinnati, an exquisite baseball gallery of artifacts and art.
Just before we were getting ready to sit down to dinner, Uecker calls me from his cell phone to let me know he invited two other mutual friends – Bob Costas and Joe Torre.
We had a great dinner and talked about the Dodgers impending trip to Taiwan, told Yogi stories, heard all about the Olympics, and tried to recollect if Torre and Fingers ever faced each other. "Did I ever face you?" Joe asked? "I can't recall," was Rollie's response.
So, I emailed Freddy Berowski in the Hall of Fame Library. Sorry Joe: You faced Rollie one time in the regular season, on May 1, 1977, and struck out. You also faced him in the 1973 All-Star Game and popped out in the 9th. None-the-less, you remain one the game's greatest players, managers and ambassadors and it's hard to imagine you won't be in Cooperstown one day.

5 AWESOME!!!fats501 | 17/09/2007 | See all fats501's reviews (1)this is by far the best iPod ever! you can fit absolutely everything on this, i was very surprised with its battery life in comparison to previous models. Not only does it look the business its easy to use and lightweight their is nothing to compete with this on the market for a similar price and memory.....no wonder why iPod has 70% ofthe mp3 market great value for money
5 Travel CompanionCassandar | 17/11/2007 | See all Cassandar's reviews (1)Ever been stuck in a hotel or bed&breakfast with the same old TV channels with nothing to watch or listen to?I have over 14 of my favourite films and many of my CDs transferred to my IPOD. It has been my travel companion on many a lonely trip, the only downside it never puts its hand in its pocket when I go to the bar for a drink.....
5 An all round excellent media playervocrobot | 09/01/2008 | See all vocrobot's reviews (8)Having owned several music players in my time the iPod is by far the easiest to use. Finding what you want is a doddle, and it is high quality all round. Don't believe the reviews from those who say it sounds crap compared to the iPod video; it really doesn't and if you can use some Sony earphones as they are better than the supplied Apple ones.Biggest thing for me is battery life; ran my battery flat (almost) last week; it ran for over 34 hours with me skipping tracks and even watching some video towards the end, but I didn't get to run it completely flat as I wanted it fully charged for the morning. It was getting very late and I just couldn't drain it as the power consumption is so good. The battery indicator was still in the green after 30 hours too.It certainly exceeds the 30 hours music time Apple specifies and I reckon it will do more than 5 hours video. Great value for the amount of disc space you get.

This is a perfect book for beginners too. Many very simple projects with a lot of visual impact. The instructions are very clear and there are different sizing options.
- wants to start quilting but doesn't know how
- anyone who stresses about picking fabric and colors
- anyone with a handful of small "helpers" around or
- anyone who feels they have too little time and space to take on a quilting hobby.
Today I bought a new Bernina, and learned a few new modern methods. Amy's book Modern Basics would make a great companion as I gain new skills.
thanks for the opportunity!

Two images come to mind when I think of driver coaching. One is the green leaves that appear on the dashboards of Ford Fusion (and Mercury Milan) hybrids when drivers do the right thing consistently. The other is Bugs Bunny in the passenger seat wearing a sweatshirt and holding a whistle. Visteon may have been thinking leaves more than wabbit when it included "driver coaching" among the attributes … Read More

The Recovery Is Over! Stock Market Is Up! Life Is Great! Wait, What?
I can't stand it when we hear about the booming stock market. Why? Because there are two Americas: the one getting even wealthier by the second as the Dow goes up, up, up, and the one that got hit hardest by the recession and is still in danger of losing it all — or already has. Bill Moyers shows us the difference.
We work to ensure that all people who work receive the rewards of their work — decent paychecks and benefits, safe jobs, respect, and fair treatment.

On Thursday, talks of forensics chewed up much of the day as jurors heard testimony from several agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation in the trial against John Beck and Curtis Bela Alford.
The defense continued to hammer away at LeCarus Oliver, an agent with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, whose testimony carried over from the day before. Defense attorney James Powell asked about the scene where the shots were allegedly fired into the vehicle of Odessa Williams.
Powell questioned Oliver about processing the scene and how he would have handled the scene if he were first to respond.
"I would have made sure the area was secure," Oliver said. "It hurts a crime scene if it has been tampered with."
The state called four additional agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. Mark Sted, a seven-year veteran with the agency, was questioned about his role in the investigation. He said he witnessed Oliver's interview of Beck and Alford following the incident.
In regards to the obstruction charges, Sted said the way the car was processed and how the shell casings were picked up were not done appropriately.
When approaching Odessa Williams and Albert Coffee at the Delta Electric sub-station on the night of March 9, 2011, Sted said Beck approached the vehicle and said, "whoa, whoa, whoa, I want to talk to you."
"Williams did not stop," Sted said. "He [Beck] then fired shots at vehicle's rear taillight. He then contacted the Holmes County Sheriff's Department to let them know they were in pursuit."
Sted said during the interview, Alford said he then patted Coffee down and took him to the area where Williams had wrecked his vehicle.
Defense attorney Kevin Horan asked Sted if he thought Alford conducted himself in the way he should have in handling Coffee.
"Yes," Sted said.
Alford is charged with aggravated assault, shooting a weapon into an occupied vehicle, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct and kidnapping. Deputy John Beck faces the same charges except for kidnapping.
Horan said there was nothing to support the kidnapping charge.
Chris Wingert, MBI analyst, testified he discovered a total of six shots into Williams' vehicle when it was processed at the Carroll County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The car was towed to the EOC following the incident.
"I found three shots in the back windshield, two in the trunk and one shot into the taillight," Wingert told assistant district attorney Scott Rogillio.
In the cross examination, Powell said Wingert's studies were inaccurate and that there were holes also in the tires of the vehicle, but Wingert did not examine those wholes due to a flat tire, mud and debris.
"There were three bullets in the tire, your analysis was wrong," Powell said. "How common is it that you miss ballistic evidence? You missed three bullet holes."
Following an objection by the prosecution, Wingert did not answer.
Duyana Broughton, from MBI's Crime Scene Unit, was also called to process the car, and she testified that she noted the same bullet holes found by Wingert. She said she also found the three bullets in the rear tire -- a total of nine shots that entered Williams' car.
Brian McIntire, from the Mississippi Crime Lab was the last agent called by the prosecution to testify Thursday.
McIntire stated that he tested both weapons belonging to the Alford and Beck, once in March 2011 and again in April 2011. He testified that he could not determine if the fragmented bullets were fired from either weapon.
Gary Bankston, owner of Bankston Wrecker Service in Carrollton, concluded testimony Thursday. Bankston testified that, after being dispatched by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department to tow Williams' vehicle, he took Williams' vehicle to the EOC.
Court resumed today at 9 a.m.

So things have been pretty hectic lately and this blog has fallen to the bottom of our priorities…
It all started with a month of skating with the Xsjado team. After being injured for months, it was an incredible feeling to get back on the blades again. And who could ask for a better crew to blade with!? Farmer, Stockwell, JC, PJ and Negrete came and conquered the streets of Barcelona. Stay tuned for the new Xsjado XXXXXXXXX…
(There's never a shortage of documentation at the Powerhouse)
Unfortunately, my time with Xsjado was cut a bit short. Fortunately it was for a trip to Kiev, Ukraine with Nick Lomax. Nick killed it, winning both contests. Ukraine was a brilliant trip, filled with new friends, tons of blading, great spots, great hospitality, ten million autographs and more stunning babes than I've ever seen in my life.
Next up was BCN Extreme. Every square inch of the forum was covered in advertisements and out of control hucker 900s. Well a few anyways. Most of the blading was pretty rad though. They filmed us for TV with a remote control helicopter and I had my first experience with fans making signs for me. "Come on Richie!". I'm not sure if it was for encouragement or something like "c'mon Richie you can do better."
(Here's my long-time friend, and fellow Canadian: Kevin Chow, still holding it down in his 30s.)
Right now I'm in Canada to celebrate my brother's wedding. The kid's a legend. I got to spend a lot of time with family and had a much needed break from the chaos of the Powerhouse. Eight months without any solid time to myself has taken it's toll. A few times I rode my bike to the park and laid in the grass for hours, doing absolutely nothing. I think this visit/period of rest has saved me from a nervous breakdown.
But everything is about to get crazy again. Tomorrow I fly to Denmark to reconnect with Dustin and Freddy and Jojo and a dozen other friends for Roskilde Festival. This is a trip I have been anticipating for years. And right smack in the middle of Roskilde, I'll be turning 30! THIRTY! It seems most people dread getting older. Especially landmark birthdays like this one. I don't think that way. I'm really excited to step into the next level.
(This is my late grandfather, Richard the 1st. His face is on your wheels – if you're smart. Getting cooler as you age runs in the family.)
So anyways, after Roskilde I'll be taking my old-man self to Sweden to shoot some more with Fred Andersson. For those who don't know, Fred's dad runs one of the nicest indoor parks in the world. Fred and I will work on a park edit and I'll try to find some quiet time to finish his street section.
(Special guest! Will this increase my chances of finding a Swedish wife?)
After that it's off to Switzerland to shoot with Nic Schopfer. Dom West will be meeting up with us and we'll be at High in the Park in Bulle. And then, finally, back to Barcelona. All told, that's two solid months away from the house. And I needed it. Have you ever lived with a constantly changing group of 5-10 dirty rollerbladers? When we're not tumbling around the streets, breaking ribs and fighting cops, we're laying in the dirt to get that perfect shot, or cleaning up after grown-ass men. "Can't you do more?"
(Fred's edit is gonna be freshhhhhh)
But it's fun. Most of the time.

Random musings of the App Store.
Retro Invasion
Retro games are appearing in the App Store in droves! Pac-Man Remix, Q*Bert Deluxe, and of course, the incredible Space Invaders Infinity Gene. All of these are updated in some way from the classic games. Q*Bert has updated graphics, Pac-Man Remix has updated graphics (though they are still not too hot on the iPhone) along with power-ups that sometimes feel gimmicky, and Space Invaders is a complete re-imagining of the classic game. Of these, the only game that really captivates me is SIIG. In my opinion, retro games are retro for a reason – frankly, they're boring and outdated. However, the concepts are still good, and if they're updated for modern gamers, they can turn out like SIIG. To go with these retro games, there are plenty more on the way: Snood, a classic match-3 shooting game, TAITO's Bust-a-Move, and most importantly, Pac-Man Championship Edition. Pac-Man CE, for XBLA, is, along with SIIG, one of the best re-imaginings of a retro game I have ever played and, if the controls are changed from Remix, should translate fantastically for the iPhone.
Gameloft coming on strong (maybe)
Along with NFL 2010, Gameloft has an upcoming FPS, Sandstorm, and a GTA knockoff, Gang$tar in the works. These games are particularly of note because it seems as if Gameloft is attempting to directly compete with other developers. NFL 2010 was notably released before EA's upcoming Madden 2010, and at a lower expected price point – $7.99 compared to $9.99. Sandstorm seems to be in line for direct competition with ngmoco's upcoming FPS (as yet unnamed). Gang$tar looks to have a huge advantage on current App Store GTA-a-likes with a fully roam-able 3D world. If I was a betting man (ok, I am a betting man), though, I would count on the other two games losing out. If there's two things Gameloft games have in common, with the notable exception of Castle of Magic, it's lackluster, on-screen controls, and uninspired gameplay. Gameloft seems to put all of the genre "requirements" in their games, without doing anything truly unique to make the game their own. They seem stubborn about their controls as well, always opting for mediocre on-screen d-pads or joysticks, rather than attempting any innovation for the iPhone. NFL 2010 is a solid football game with licensing, and I'm sure Sandstorm will be a decent FPS. However, neither if these titles, probably, will be great.
Games requiring 3.0 softwareI wanted to briefly address a common complaint springing up various places: games requiring 3.0 software or higher. Developers are excited to utilize 3.0 features and making their apps 2.2.1 compatible takes a lot of time, resources, and extra testing. Look, I know that the update is $10 for iPod touchers (whoops, that sounds weird), but that's really not a lot for a major software upgrade, and if these stubborn users don't update soon, they're going to find themselves left out in the cold for some of the App Store's best apps and games.
This week's sign of the apocalypse
First Doodle Jump, now Harbor Master; the Pocket God pygmies are invading other games! It was bad enough that I had to look at those stupid pygmies while playing Pocket God, thinking I would eventually like it. But no, that wasn't enough, now they have to ruin games that I actually play! I really want to kill a pygmy, and in a way so that they can't be magically dropped from the sky a few seconds later.
Apps of the Week
Last week, I previewed Kevin Calderone's new game Gomi, mentioning the staggering amount of content. Now, the app is out, and not only is it huge, but all that content is actually worth playing! In Gomi, you clean up the world by eating pollution and the like while spitting (?) out trees and flowers. You have to eat smaller things to build your appetite, eventually building up to shopping malls and the like. The regular levels are great, the boss battles are challenging and clever, and the game is seemingly endless with 140+ levels, eight mini games, achievements, and online scoreboards. At the low price of $1.99, Gomi is a unique game and a highly recommended bargain. Expect a full review soon (sorry, I'm on vacation).

BargainBin is an app that allows you track other apps; creating wish lists with target prices and viewing the newest apps, updates, and price drops. BargainBin recently was updated with two major improvements: a nice UI update and a killer feature: push notifications. Now, whenever an app you're tracking reaches your desired price, you'll instantly receive a push notification without ever having to open the app. Finding the App Store's best deals has never been easier!

What should I ask my doctor?People with cancer often feel more confident about their treatment when they understand what's happening and what to expect. Your doctor is always your single most important source of information. Feel free to ask your doctor, nurse, or other specialists about any concerns you have. Please don't hesitate to ask them to explain anything you don't understand, especially if it sounds too technical. Your medical team will respect your desire to take an active interest in your own care. | |
It helps to prepare questions ahead of time and to take notes when you speak
with your doctors. You might consider asking a friend or family member to
come along to help you remember everything the doctor says. You might even
ask if it's okay to use a tape recorder. To further stimulate discussion with your medical team, why not print out pages from this Web site that contain issues you'd like to discuss. Bring a copy for yourself and the doctor to your next appointment. You might want to consider asking:
