The Maritime Union has indicated the potential for more industrial action if the Ports of Auckland continues what the union claims is an "attack on port workers and their families."
The union held a two-hour stop work meeting this morning where members voted to back a settlement of the ongoing dispute with the port, provided the port make changes to its current offer.
The two parties have been in facilitation at the Employment Relations Authority over their collective employment agreement since May 8 this year.
Union national president Garry Parsloe said members had reluctantly accepted concessions the union had made in the facilitation to try and get progress.
One of the main concessions they had made was around flexible working arrangements, including agreeing to work two hours each side of an eight hour shift if needed, and to move the shifts around to some degree if required.
But workers were dismayed the ports company is still asking for conditions they claim will destroy basic terms and conditions that provide for some balance in the 24/7 industry and threaten their health and safety, he said.
"Union members will not agree to unfair rostering which would undermine family life, with no certainty of start times, the ability for casuals to be used for any duties thereby removing a career path for workers at the port, and the loss of the limited right of one guaranteed weekend off in every three."
Workers would also not sign a port contract that continued to contain a contracting out provision after what they have been through.
"Our members will fight these changes however they can," he said.
Any decision to take industrial action would be seriously considered as the union was aware of the costs to its members and disruption to the city.
A port spokesperson said it rejected any suggestion that its proposal was anti-family.
The port's proposed roster gave stevedores over three days off a week on average and rosters were published four weeks in advance.
"We firmly reject any suggestion that our proposal is unsafe - note that we are acting to remove current working practices, which don't meet reasonable health and safety standards."
"We're not attacking families - it's a really good offer, with the sort of pay and conditions thousands of New Zealanders would jump at."
On Friday, the port publicly released a summary of its collective bargaining proposal which it had submitted to the authority.

Andrea Prince always knew she would be an artist.
Both of her grandmothers loved drawing — one sketched plants and the other sketched buildings.
"The first things I drew were horses and roses," she recalled. "Very typical girl stuff."
She started drawing portraits when she was in high school and took an art class as a teenager.
After years of study, Price, 38, of Fort Gay, has a studio in the Pendleton Art Center in Ashland, where she works and displays her work.
"Everyone is really supportive and works really hard," she said. "I'm enjoying it."
Prince earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from Marshall University and a master of fine arts degree from Memphis College of Art. She studied for a semester at the New York Studio Program, part of Parsons and the New School in New York.
She served as visiting artist and taught for a year at Clemson University and was co-coordinator of the community education department at Memphis College of Art, where she worked at developing curricula. She has taught at the Huntington Museum of Art and The Painted Cow in Louisa.
Prince has had a studio at the Pendleton for a few short months, but it is a working studio as well as a studio open to visitors.
"I loved the idea of an art center, but it is a lot of travel for me," she said. "But It's a wonderful opportunity for me, too. I'm glad I bit the bullet and (got a studio)."
She describes her work as contemporary abstraction.
"So many things are inspiration, including the creative process itself," she said. "I think about the kind of questions artists think about to draw inspiration. I think that's why I gravitate to the abstract, but everything starts with drawing from life."
During tonight's Friday Friday art work, Prince said she will have many new pieces of work on display. Many of the pieces focus on birds, she said.
The music will be provided by her husband, Dennis Watts, who plans guitar and sings rock, country and bluegrass.
She said she's organizing a national juried exhibit that will debut next month at the Pendleton on First Friday and she will offer a children's art class at 10 a.m. on Saturdays from Sept. 28 to Nov. 2. The drawing and painting classes will be for children 12 through 18,

English test for immigrants worries Brandon
Maple Leaf workers might have to leave
BRANDON -- A federal requirement of English proficiency tests for the provincial nominee program could pose a problem for Brandon's economy, immigration experts say.
As of July 1, immigrants will have to pass an English proficiency test in order to qualify for the program.
"Our immigration has very much been driven by Maple Leaf, and of course, most of the workers that they're looking for are low-skilled workers," said Leslie Allen, executive director of Westman Immigrant Services. "Many of them will not be coming in with very much English, if any at all."
In some countries, to learn English usually means the person had to attend private school or get tutored.
"It usually means the type of job that they're going to be looking for would be somewhat different than working at Maple Leaf," Allen said.
Immigrant workers will have to pass a Level 4 English test within 18 months after they arrive as a foreign temporary worker to qualify for the provincial nominee program. That will be difficult for immigrant workers at Brandon's pork-processing plant, Allen said.
"In our experience, for a person to actually go from a Level 1 to a Level 4, it's typically taking three to four years," she said.
"If Maple Leaf basically has to resort to only having foreign temporary workers coming in, then we will be having groups of people coming in for a period of two years and then leaving. It could really impact the numbers of people who are actually going to stay here in Brandon."
Brandon-Souris Conservative MP Merv Tweed said the federal government is trying to bring people with higher skills and higher English levels to Canada.
"The government's position is that we're trying to raise that level so that people that come to Canada are speaking English or French, or at least in that process to speed it up," Tweed said.
He met with Allen and board members from Westman Immigrant Services on Friday to discuss the federal takeover of settlement services.
"We've developed a good working relationship with the province, and of course, any change is scary," Allen said. "Not necessarily knowing what the changes could mean... It's going into uncharted territory, and I think (Merv) totally and completely understands that."
Tweed said they had a "full and frank discussion on the issue," adding he made a commitment to find out more about the English requirement and how it might affect Brandon.
"I'm glad (Leslie) raised the issue," he said. "Better we understand it now than a year from now, and we can either make the adjustments or find out what we have to do."

ELKHART — A warrant has been issued for a Goshen man who Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill said was involved in a deadly attempted burglary in Elkhart Oct. 3.
Hill, in a press conference Tuesday morning, Oct. 9, 2012, said Anthony Sharp, 18, Goshen will be charged along with Blake Layman, 16, Elkhart, Jose Quiroz, 16, Elkhart, and Levi Sparks 17, Elkhart, with felony murder. Layman, Quiroz and Sparks are already in custody at the Elkhart County Jail.
A fifth accomplice in the attempted burglary, Hill said, Danzele Johnson, 21, Goshen, was shot and killed by the homeowner, Rodney Scott, 1919 Frances St., Elkhart.
Scott will not be charged with any crime, Hill said.
The prosecutor gave some details of what happened that afternoon.
Scott was asleep in his upstairs bedroom at his Frances Street home when four of the five men broke through two doors to enter the home, Hill said. One stayed outside. A couple of the men grabbed knives from the kitchen, Hill said.
Scott was awakened by the break-in and grabbed his gun. He fired five shots, Hill said. Layman was grazed and Johnson, who was a NorthWood High School graduate, was killed.
The three suspects who survived hid in a bedroom, Hill said.
Scott called for police and an ambulance.
The homeowner acted as he should have, the prosecutor said.
Three of the four surviving suspects were caught and Sharp remains at large, Hill said. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. And investigators with the prosecutors office believe that Sharp is still in the area.
Anyone who has information on Sharp's whereabouts is asked to call 911 or local police.

I was so thrilled and excited to learn from the Herald that one of our own-a Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School 1989 graduate, Daniel Werfel-has been appointed as (Acting) Director of the IRS. Not having to pay federal income taxes next April 15 will mean so much to all Plainview and Old Bethpage residents, especially those of us on fixed incomes ! All 25,000 of us will forever be grateful to Mr. Werfel. We understand that our "Dan" will not have the authority to exempt us---his former friends and neighbors-from New York STATE taxes, and that our "Danny" will be unable to enable us to not pay school, county, town, and sales taxes. However, if our beloved "Danny Boy" does a good enough job so that President Obama removes the word "Acting" from his title.Saturday, 08 March 2014 00:00

O'Keeffe lived for 98 years. Within her lifetime, she was granted the Medal of Arts by Ronald Regan, and in 1938, she was selected as one of the 12 most outstanding women of the previous 50 years. When she passed away she was accorded the honor of a first page obituary in the New York Times.

This title in other editionsOdessa Againby Dana Reinhardt
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: Fourth grader Odessa Green-Light lives with her mom and her toad of a little brother, Oliver. Her dad is getting remarried, which makes no sense according to Odessa. If the prefix "re" means "to do all over again," shouldn't he be remarrying Mom? Meanwhile, Odessa moves into the attic room of their new house. One day she gets mad and stomps across the attic floor. Then she feels as if she is falling and lands . . . on the attic floor. Turns out that Odessa has gone back in time a whole day! With this new power she can fix all sorts of things--embarrassing moments, big mistakes, and even help Oliver be less of a toad. Her biggest goal: reunite Mom and Dad.
Review:"Any child who has wished to fix a mistake by going back in time will appreciate the elation of fourth-grader Odessa Green-Light, when she discovers that she can step backward one day by stomping in exactly the right spot on her bedroom floor. At once, Odessa recognizes the advantages of this phenomenon, and when she attempts to make small alterations to the past, like improving her score on a spelling test and delivering just the right birthday gift to a lonely neighbor, all goes well. But when Odessa tries to solve bigger problems, such as her brother's lack of popularity or her parents' divorce, things quickly turn sour, causing Odessa to realize there is a down side to messing with fate. Deftly incorporating magic realism into her plot, Reinhardt (The Summer I Learned to Fly) introduces a smart, big-hearted heroine who isn't afraid to go after what she wants. Odessa's triumphs and mishaps will bring laughs and pangs of sympathy, and set imaginations spinning. Final art not seen by PW. Ages 8 — 12. Agent: Douglas Stewart, Sterling Lord Literistic.

Manufacturer's Description
The music hall mmf 5.1 special edition is a significant upgrade over the standard mmf 5.1. The special edition includes upgrades to the following critical components; vibration damping system, cartridge, and plinth. The mmf 5.1se like the mmf 5.1 is a two speed belt driven audiophile turntable employing music hall's unique dual plinth construction. The distinctive design isolates the key sound reproducing components; platter, main bearing, tonearm, and cartridge on the top platform from the motor, switch, wiring, and feet which are mounted on the bottom platform. Sorbothane orbs separate the two platforms and provide vibration damping. The mmf 5.1se comes complete with cartridge mounted.

Optical processor for recognition of three-dimensional targets viewed from any direction
JOSA A, Vol. 5, Issue 8, pp. 1309-1321 (1988)
Acrobat PDF (2437 KB)
A procedure is presented for generating a small bank of optical correlation filters that can recognize a large number of perspective views of an object. The method applies to general kinds of image distortions in addition to those generated by different perspective views. The holographic filters are also invariant to image intensity and position (translation invariance). The method of design is to decompose the entire set of object variations into a set of eigenimages. These eigenimages contain complete information about the target set. An iterative procedure combines the eigenimages with different relative phases, so that complete target information can be extracted in an optical implementation. An example illustrates that a set of only 20 holographic filters recognizes a three-dimensional target over a continuous range of viewing angles.

Lee Camp, Mike Miller and Kevin Bowman are taking a positive approach to the new challenges that await their teams in Iowa high school district football.
Camp's Clinton River Kings were placed in one of two five-team districts in Class 4A after the decision by three parochial schools to play in Class 4A ended the conference setup that 4A teams in the eastern part of the state have played under for years. And, with Davenport Assumption, Cedar Rapids Xavier and Dubuque Wahlert dropping to Class 3A, the current 3A teams from the area — Central DeWitt, coached by Miller, and Maquoketa, coached by Bowman — were affected, too.
"The best thing we can do is get excited," Camp said Friday. "This is a new chapter for Clinton High School football."
The River Kings, one of seven teams to qualify for the 4A playoffs from the Mississippi Athletic Conference last fall, were put in District 8 with MAC members Bettendorf, Davenport West and North Scott, along with Dubuque Senior of the Mississippi Valley Conference.
"Our travel isn't horrible, and it's exciting to see Senior," Camp said. "I think the state worked hard to group the teams in tiers. They tried to have the athletic directors (give an idea of) what their teams would be like the next two years."
He also liked that the district games will be played during weeks 5-9 of the season.
"You're playing district games when you should be playing your best football," he said.
The odds of making it to the playoffs also are improved for Clinton and the other teams from districts 7 and 8. Because there now will be only 46 4A teams, the Iowa High School Athletic Association created six six-team districts and two five-team districts. The top four teams from each will qualify for the 32-team playoffs.
During the district season, the odd teams out from the two five-team districts will face each other in a crossover game. Clinton, and every other 4A school, also will play four non-district games during the first month of the season.
Camp said the process for determining non-district games involved having school athletic directors submit a list to the IHSAA ranking six schools they would like play.
"If we would put a team number one and they do, too, there's a good chance the teams would play," Camp said.
He said that Clinton had had talks with Marion Linn-Mar, Pleasant Valley, Davenport Central and Davenport North about playing non-district games.
While Clinton's road to the playoffs might have gotten easier, Miller and Bowman couldn't be blamed if they had a negative reaction to the redistricting. After all, two of the former Class 4A teams that are dropping down to 3A — Wahlert and two-time Class 3A state runner-up Xavier — got placed in their seven-team district that includes six teams that advanced to the playoffs last season.
But, both coaches say it's just another challenge their teams must face.
"My cellphone was lighting up yesterday, and several of the comments were pertaining that we are in the toughest district in 3A," Bowman said. "We cannot control the state's districting, so we will take the bull by the horn and get after it. I look forward to the challenge of competing in this district for the next two years."
Miller said: "Certainly a competitive district. May have an argument that it may be more competitive than some 4A districts. I believe six out of the seven teams in the district made the playoffs last year."
Wahlert was the only one that didn't advance last year, and it also is the only school that hasn't made at least five playoff appearances since 2000 — it has three. In addition, Solon has won five state titles and finished second three times since 2000, Xavier has a title (2006) along with the two second-place finishes during that span and Western Dubuque was the 2001 state champion.
Miller and Bowman said their players were up to the challenge they will face.
"Not a doubt it will be very competitive every week, although our kids possess a good work ethic," Miller said.
"We know that all of the schools in our district qualified for post season last year with the exception of Wahlert," Bowman said. "I also know that the other schools in our district have long been established as solid programs with each team winning a state championship in football. We have had some success in the past five years as playoff qualifiers and a quarterfinal appearance in 2011, and we need to build upon that."
Miller stressed, though, that the challenge wasn't just the stronger schedule.
"There is a heightened awareness of the importance of physical conditioning to be able to handle the demands these games will be putting on our kids' body every week," he said.
But, he also sees the challenge as an opportunity to improve his program.
"Also, I think if you look at it from a numbers, or participation perspective, we are getting 60-70 kids to participate in our program whereas Xavier is getting 85-100," Miller said. "I think we need to look at our approach and grow interest in our program. We understand the challenge ahead and are looking forward to the opportunity in the fall."

The Rudman Center: A lesson in itself
Rudman made his name promoting balanced budgets and bipartisanshp. Though there were many issues on which we disagreed with Rudman (and Broderick, for that matter), Broderick's plan for the Rudman Center strikes us as something of a model for recognizing our best public servants.
It is customary for long-serving politicians to have a public building named after them. This often happens because so many long-serving politicians do little more than bring home the bacon. Others leave bigger legacies. To the extent that those legacies are positive, the better idea is to lengthen them. Establishments like the Rudman Center do that far better than a mere building name does.
Students who go through the Rudman Center will be "living, breathing and ongoing, and your legacy will matter in a very different way than it does etched into the edifice of the federal courthouse on Pleasant Street," Broderick said he told Rudman.
Yes, there is a federal courthouse named after Rudman. The UNH Law center is more fitting. Naming a courthouse is easy, politically speaking. Continuing someone's work to better the republic is hard, and expensive. Broderick and many others took on that task because someone needed to, and they were not going to leave it undone. That in itself is a lesson worth imparting.

Arts Park
Hollywood, FL 33020
New Times Broward-Palm Beach's Description
Parks are the best, aren't they? Huge open spaces where we can commune with nature and escape the commercialism of modern day life. And Hollywood's Arts Park is one of the best of the Broward bunch. This 10-acre park offers a kid's play area to keep the wee ones busy, lots of paved paths to get your exercise on and tons of outdoor events so you can enjoy fresh air instead of air-conditioned stuffiness. Pretty perfect, we'd say.
Merchant's Description
The ArtsPark at Young Circle is a revolutionary park that features 10 acres of lush green space, broad paved promenades for strolling or jogging, a children's play area with an interactive fountain, and a spectacular feature fountain designed by internationally acclaimed public artist Ritsuko Taho of Japan. Bring your blanket or lawn chair and spend an afternoon or evening enjoying a variety of cultural events and festivals all year-round.

Life in the Frozen Tundra: Top 100 Wisconsin-Born Sports Figures (40-21)
By Adam Lindemer ,
Well, we're more than halfway through the countdown, so let's bring it even closer to the top 20.
With this set of 20, I'll bring in some new cities that will have most of you wondering exactly where it lies on the map.
Even the smallest of Wisconsin cities can produce some pretty big stars.
With every slide that I complete, it makes me more and more proud to be a Cheesehead. I even share a common bond with No. 24, so wait and see.
Mercein attended Yale, where he was an All-American and an All-Ivy League selection.
He was drafted in the 10th round by Buffalo of the AFL in 1965, but was selected in the third round of the NFL that same year by the N.Y. Giants.
Mercein also played with Washington, N.Y. Jets, and Green Bay in his career, spanning 1965-'70.
He played in the famed Ice Bowl, where he had six rushes for 20 yards and two catches for 22 yards in the pivotal final drive of the game.
Mercein finished his career with 163 rushes for 531 yards and four TDs and 37 receptions for 205 yards and one more TD.
Gary (pictured), Bob, and Ryan all have played in the NHL, with Ryan still active.
Gary (Ryan's father, Bob's brother) played 17 seasons in the NHL, where he scored 203 goals and 642 assists, with 1,249 penalty minutes. He scored 17 goals and had 53 assists in his playoff appearances and won a silver medal in the 2002 Winter Olympics, when he coached the U.S. squad.
Bob was a member of the USA's "Miracle on Ice" team in 1980, but never saw action in the NHL. He was drafted No. 120 by L.A. in 1977, but rejected its offer. He played in the WHA instead, sat out the entire '80-'81 season, and then played the following season in the CHL before retiring from the game.
Ryan played 39 games for Wisconsin, scoring three goals and getting 16 assists with 93 penalty minutes. He won gold with the U17 and U18 teams in 2002, and again in 2004 at the World Juniors. He was the No. 7 overall pick in 2003 and has played 311 games with Nashville, with 23 goals and 93 assists.
Poker may not be a sport, but Hellmuth is a star in his field, so I decided to put him on the list (plus, they tend to over-show poker on ESPN).
He attended Wisconsin, where his father was dean for a time, but dropped out after three years because he was making a lot of money at local games around campus.
Hellmuth would often play at the university's Union, where he got his start in poker. He would get his "bankrolls" working at Blaine's Farm, de-tasseling corn.
He is the eldest of five children and is an 11-time winner at the World Series of Poker.
Harris starred on his Wauwatosa East HS basketball team and would go on to attend Wisconsin under Bo Ryan.
He also played volleyball in high school and was named Wisconsin's Mr. Basketball in 2001 over Travis Diener.
Harris was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by Washington, but has played for Dallas and New Jersey.
In the NBA, he has averaged 12.2 PPG in 345 games, with a 21.3 PPG coming with New Jersey.
Wauatosa East retired Harris' basketball jersey.
As a senior at Kenosha St. Joseph HS, Van Exel averaged 29.8 PPG, which led the state of Wisconsin. He also won the state's slam dunk contest that year while being only 6'0".
He then starred at Cincinnati, averaging 18.3 PPG and 4.5 APG as a senior there. Van Exel wears No. 31 as a tribute to his favorite college player growing up, Pearl Washington.
Van Exel has been called "Pearl," "Nick the Quick," and "Nick Van Exellent" for his big shots. That landed him as a second round pick in the NBA, where he played for L.A. (Lakers), Denver, Dallas, Golden State, Portland, and San Antonio.
He has 12, 658 career points, 5,777 assists and 1,528 three-pointers made.
Looking at him now, I don't know if Sprewell is a star anymore, but he was when he was younger.
He went from Milwaukee Washington HS to Three Rivers CC to Alabama to the No. 24 pick in 1992 to Golden State.
He has also played for Minnesota and N.Y. and is a four-time all-star with 16,712 career points. Sprewell also has 1,104 three-pointers made, averaged 18.3 PPG for his career and 19.7 in the playoffs.
Then there's the 1997 choking incident and his complaint about how $14.1 million a year wasn't enough to feed his family, but he still deserves to be on the list.
Oh, there was also a foreclosure on his house, he sold his yacht, "Milwaukee's Best," and owes plenty of money to the IRS, and yet somehow he still found his way into the top 35.
Stricker went professional in 1990 with his wife as his caddy for many years and now has seven PGA Tour victories, with his most recent Deutsche Bank win last week.
He is a five-time winner of the Wisconsin State Open, winning in '87, '90, '91, '98 and 2000.
Stricker was fourth on the money list in '96 and '07 and currently is on top for the 2009 season (leads in FedEx Cup points too).
On Aug. 26, 2007, he snapped a 11-year drought between event wins on U.S. soil. He has also been on two President Cup teams and one Ryder Cup team.
Best finishes in majors: tied for second at '98 PGA; tied for sixth at '09 Masters; tied for fifth at '98 and '99 U.S. Open.
Kenseth started racing in the state at Madison, Slinger, and Wisconsin International around Appleton.
He was Wisconsin International's Rookie of the Year in 2000 and later won the 2003 Winston Cup Championship in NASCAR by winning just one race, which would later call for a rule change.
Kenseth has 18 wins and 165 top 10s in Sprint and 24 wins and 153 top 10s in Nationwide.
The small town Cambridge native has quickly turned into one of the most popular and dominant drivers on the NASCAR circuit, but he always loves a trip back home.
Candice Michelle Beckman has spent time with the WWE and even though I'm not a fan of it, I'm still qualifying that for this list.
I don't think many will argue either.
Candice is now a model/actress and appeared in the Go Daddy commercial as the girl in the court room whose tank top strap kept coming loose.
She played varsity basketball in high school and college, so now she officially qualifies.
Candice won a modeling contest at a local skating rink at 16, then moved out to L.A. in 1999. She then won the 2007 Women's Championship in the WWE, but was released in June of 2009.
She appeared on the cover of Playboy in April 2006, and is an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers.
Butler's life could have easily been a complete 180 from where it is now, as he was arrested 15 times before he was 15 years old.
He spent time in a Wisconsin correctional facility and later attended Racine Park HS and UCONN.
Butler averaged 15.6 PPG and 7.6 RPG as a freshman at UCONN, then followed that with 20.3 PPG and 7.5 RPG as a sophomore. That warranted a trip to the NBA.
He was drafted No. 10 overall in 2002 by Miami and now plays for Washington. He has played 483 games in the NBA, averaging 16.7 PPG, 6 RPG, 3 APG, and 1.7 SPG.
The high ranking is due to the fact that he was able to turn his life around before it became much too late.
Joe Wolf was a star at Kohler HS for four years and was voted as the all-time greatest Wisconsin high school player, as he holds several WIAA Tournament records in D-3.
Records he holds: most points in tournament (58 in two games); most field goals in tournament (24 in two games); most rebounds in tournament (37) and rebounds in a game (24).
Wolf was the No. 13 overall pick in 1987 to the L.A. Clippers and played 11 years in the NBA with L.A., Denver, Boston, Portland, Charlotte, Orlando, and Milwaukee, averaging 4.2 PPG and 3.3 RPG.
He coached the Idaho Stampede in the CBA and the Colorado 14ers in the NBDL and is currently on the Milwaukee Bucks' coaching staff.
Krieg went undrafted out of the now defunct Milton College, where he was the seventh string quarterback.
He played 19 years in the NFL with Seattle, Kansas City, Detroit, Arizona, Chicago, and Tennessee, throwing for 261 TDs, 199 INT, and 38,147 yards.
Krieg is now a part owner of the AFL's Green Bay Blizzard with ex-Packer Brian Noble is a motivational speaker in Arizona.
Herber attended GB West HS and spent 16 years in the NFL from 1930-'45.
He played from '30-'40 with his hometown team, the Packers, but also played for the N.Y. Giants.
He was a four-time NFL champion with Green Bay ('30, '31, '36, '39) and was the league's top passer in '32 with 639 yards and nine TDs. For his career, Herber passed for 81 TD and 106 INT.
He hit his peak when Don Hutson (pictured with Herber) came to Green Bay and paved the way for modern quarterbacks. He was elected into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1966.
It's time to give some love to MLB umpires, who normally get a bad rap.
Froemming was the longest tenured umpire, as he spent 37 years in the MLB before retiring in 2007 at 67 years old (oldest ump, too). His last game was in his home town, as he called the game on Sept. 30, '07 between Milwaukee and San Diego.
Bill Klem called 5,374 games (most in MLB) and Froemming has called 5,162 games. Since he is over 65, Froemming qualifies for the Hall of Fame in 2010 instead of waiting the five years. He will be a shoo-in come that time.
Froemming has been involved in 11 no-hitters (four behind the plate, Nolan Ryan and Phil Niekro), nine LDS and five World Series.
Chones was an All-American at Marquette during his junior year, averaging 20.5 PPG and 11.9 RPG and was the second player in NCAA history to leave college early for the NBA.
He was drafted in the second round of the 1973 NBA Draft to the L.A. Lakers and won a championship with them in 1980.
Chones played for both the NBA and ABA, compiling 9,821 points.
He has been a color analyst for the Cleveland Cavaliers and now fills in from time to time for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Kraenzlein won four gold medals at the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris (60m dash, 110m hurdles, 200m hurdles, and long jump).
He went to the University of Wisconsin to study dentistry.
Kraenzlein was the first runner to used the straight-legged approach to jumping the hurdles.
He also coached track and field at the University of Pennsylvania and served in World War I.
Like I said in the intro, I have something in common with Terry Porter: We both are alumni of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, as Porter is the only Pointer on this list.
He was the No. 24 overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft to Portland, and has also played for Minnesota, Miami, and San Antonio.
In his 18-year career, Porter has 15,586 points, 3,872 rebounds, 7,160 assists, and is a two-time all-star.
Porter coached his hometown team from 2003-'05 and Phoenix in the 2008-'09 season, with a career coaching record of 83-106.
In 1994, he created the Milwaukee Scholars Fund, which provides scholarships to minorities for any school in the University of Wisconsin system.
Gantner has never left the state of Wisconsin throughout his career.
He attended Campbellsport HS, then Wisconsin-Oshkosh, then was drafted in the 12th round in the 1974 MLB Draft.
Gantner played from 1976-92 with the Brewers, hitting .276 with 1,696 hits, 47 HR, 568 RBI, and 137 SB.
He also pitched one inning of a blowout game in Kansas City in 1979, in which he allowed two hits and was almost thrown out for arguing balls and strikes.
He currently runs Hale Park Auto in Hales Corners, Wisconsin and is part owner of Scuds Buds (a bar in his hometown of Eden).
I originally had him ranked lower, but his loyalty to Wisconsin made me move him into the top 25.
Kuenn played in the MLB from 1952-'66 with Detroit, Cleveland, San Francisco, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
He was an eight-time all star and the 1953 AL Rookie of the Year. In his career, Kuenn hit .303 with 2,092 hits and 671 RBI. He hit .353 in 1959.
Kuenn was the Manager of the Year in 1982 after he took over for his hometown Brewers the same year (this is also when Harvey's Wallbangers were born).
Milwaukee was 23-24 when they fired Buck Rodgers, then went 72-43 under Kuenn to go 95-67 for the year and become World Series runners-up.
Favor attended SPASH, then moved on to Wisconsin, where she met Mark Hamilton, a pitcher on the baseball team. The two were married two weeks after graduation.
She won 11 high school titles and appeared in three Olympic games (1992, '96, '00) and was Runner of the Year in 2000.
Favor won nine NCAA titles and holds many other records: NCAA Championships record holder in the 800m and 1500m; NCAA Woman of the Year; 23 Big Ten Conference championships; four Big Ten Athlete of the Year Awards (which is now called the "Suzy Favor Award"); Big Ten Athlete of the Decade for the 1990s; World University Games silver medalist and 14 All-American awards.

DUBLIN, Calif. (KGO) -- Dublin police are looking for the hit-and-run driver who killed a man who was walking with his bike along Dougherty Road at Fall Creek Road near the San Ramon border.
There were no skid marks found at the scene and the driver apparently left in a big hurry, but not before leaving some significant clues behind including a distinctive hood emblem. Dublin police say the car that hit and killed the man Tuesday night was likely a black 2012 Mercedes CLS 500/550 or CLS63.
Police received a call at about 11:30 p.m. that a man was down in the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene, a bike near his body. He has been identified only as a 55 to 60-year-old man.
"We're not sure actually if he was on a bicycle or if he was just walking on the side of the road with a bike," Lt. Herb Walters said. Asked if there was any way the driver would not have known they hit a person Walters said, "No. I'm fairly confident this driver did know he hit a person, especially with the evidence we found at the scene. We found the parts on the side of the road and possible glass fragments too."
There is a separate bike and walking path well off the roadway, but apparently the victim was not on it when he was struck. "At nighttime, this place, you literally cannot see the path right in front of you," Dublin resident Bianca Bushnell said. "I would never do that. I always bike on that side of the street. It's really dangerous. There's a path right here. I don't know why he wouldn't just use it."
Investigators say the car parts found include a hood ornament. They say the vehicle may also have some shattered windows or broken headlights. "Please turn yourself in. We need to find you. We need to solve this incident, this crime, and closure for the family of the victim," Lt. Herb said.
The name of the victim has not yet been released. Anyone with information or anyone who may have witnessed the accident is asked to call Dublin Police Investigation's Sgt. Yesenia Sanchez at 1-925-833-6682.

I do not own a single sweatshirt (ok, except for a few L.A.M.B. pieces from the first and second seasons) and I do not wear sweatpants. On my lazy days, this is what I look like. I was in a hurry and did not plan out what I was going to wear the night before, so I put on a knit top and some high waisted shorts, and grabbed my cozy sweater coat to throw on top. Don't you love how the zigzag sweater coat is oh so Missoni? I love it! Honestly, I didn't even plan on/feel like taking photos but my friend Jackie encouraged me to... and I am glad she did, I liked how these photos turned out! Impromptu at its best!
