Good Morning!
If you missed yesterday's posting, be sure to click here to read my Q&A with Aaron Gleeman. Also, be sure to e-mail me your Carew Contest entry before tomorrow afternoon to be eligible to win the Rod Carew statue.
So, without further ado, I present Why Baseball?, by Beth Miller:
I asked Beth to give us a little bio of herself. Like me, she admits that brevity is not her strong suit:
I'm pretty much about as Minnesotan as it gets: I was born here, raised here, and the only time I held a temporary address outside of Minnesota were the nine months I spent in England (during my second year of college). I've followed the Twins since childhood; I would read the sports section every Sunday to check out the stats (even though I'd listened to every game that week). Baseball was my first love as far as sports go, but as the years have passed, I've become a fan of hockey and football. Non-sports related hobbies include: reading (pretty much anything that I can get my hands on), road trips, sewing/quilting, playing with computers, camping, and killing plants. As anyone who's had the dubious honor of receiving an e-mail from me knows, I like to write. I really like to write. Thus, my college major was English, while my minor was math. Naturally, it follows that I work as a computer programmer (doing basic stuff, not the cool nerdy stuff) at an insurance consulting firm in Minneapolis.
I should also mention that this is the shortened version of her Why Baseball essay. To see the full version, click here.
Why Baseball?
Why baseball? That is a very good question. And, like every other good question, there is no good answer. Those who love baseball will nod in agreement throughout any explanation, and those who don't love baseball will just look on with bafflement. Those people are clearly insane.
Baseball has excited the passions for over a century. Cubs fans have been waiting in agony for almost a century for that one moment of glory—for that one day when they can say "World Champion Cubs" without someone adding on "1908." Looking around Wrigley Field, you can still feel the hope behind the history. Who would go to Wrigley if they weren't living in hope that someday the Cubs would again hold the title of World Champions? (Okay, I'll grant that it's amazingly beautiful.) There's always hope. Baseball history is full of amazing victories.
There is a conclusion to every game. If it's rained or snowed out, or suspended because the local college football team needs to use the field to play their ESPN-broadcast game that evening and they need to convert the field, the game will be finished at a later date, and there will be a winner. Like every game, there will be equal opportunity for both teams to score runs. Until the last out, there always will be fans sitting in their seats, knowing that anything can happen.
During the regular season, there are only two days when a major league game is not played, and the longest break between games for any single team is the All-Star Break. Thus, when your team has a horrible loss—say 28-3—you don't sit around for a full week waiting to redeem yourself. You wait until tomorrow (unless it's an off-day). During the game, you can become riled up and passionate, but you don't have to sulk in the agony of defeat for very long (unless it's the last game of the season, but then you're starting to look ahead to next year).
You want your team to win every game, but you know it's not probable. On any given day, the worst team can beat the best team., and no one gasps in shock. It's not just the statistical ability-- it's everything from the luck to intensity of play.
Beyond the passion, baseball is the haven for nerds. We adore reading the statistics about our team and opposing teams before and during each game. Even people who aren't interested in math want to know stats, like how many pitches per at-bat Shannon Stewart averaged versus Lewww Ford (3.57 versus 3.99) or what percentage of inherited runners J.C. Romero allowed to score (42.9%). I'm happy to locate or calculate these things for anyone who asks. Yes, I'm a nerd.
I am a scorekeeper--not an official scorekeeper, but just a girl in the bleachers with her scorecard. When a player comes up to bat, I can look back and see how he's been hitting. During some games, I keep track of pitches, so I can say things like "Jesse Crain just pitched a six-pitch inning!" or "That was Justin's fourth at-bat, but he's only seen five pitches all game!" Of course, I feel very lucky that I live relatively close to the Metrodome, so now I make many treks downtown Minneapolis to watch the Twins.
I love playing Twingo at the Dome, too. For those unfamiliar with the game, it's Bingo with the plays on the field: K, 1HR (one-run home run), E7, 2-3, etc., but each card will have its share of unusual plays: 1-2-3, 9-5-6, etc. Twingo goes to show that every game has some weird plays. The first time I played Twingo last year, I sat down with my card, and turned to my sister and said, "Strikeout-wild pitch. Like <b>that's</b> gonna happen." Yeah, it happened in the bottom of the first inning. I shook my head and laughed. That's baseball.
Baseball amuses the whimsical side of me. I like to find the odd and unusual things that happen every day. With 30 teams playing 162 games of baseball each year, there's 4,860 regular season games every year. If we add the playoff, spring training, minor league, and instructional league games, then we conclude that there's a lot of professional baseball being played in the US and Canada every year! (If you include other countries, other leagues, high school, college, little league, and town ball, the number of total games is huge. The "sand lot" games would make the number even larger, if you felt that it just wasn't big enough.) There are plenty of opportunities for something different to happen.
The unexpected, weird plays are still unexpected and weird, no matter how many games you go to. You can expect every game to have something unusual--even if you dream up wild and crazy possibilities before the game, something will make you turn to the total stranger sitting next to you and say, excited or disappointed, "I can't believe he did that!"
And it's funny how the "total strangers" aren't total strangers. It doesn't matter who's sitting near you. In the ballpark, the only thing that matters is what's happening on the field. Everyone knows better than the manager, and we have a much better view than the umpire. It's only right that we all complain, cheer, and celebrate together. Season ticket holders might start the year as total strangers, but can end the year as friends--sitting together 81 days of the year is more often than most people see their families.
What brings fans to the Dome? We know our Twins (we giggle about the Barbie backpack), revel in the little trivia facts about the team, and enjoy watching our team grow.
Twins fans rarely get to see trades that make headlines (even if they should). We get to see a few guys hang around "forever" as stabilizing forces (most often pitchers, like Bradke), but we know that we can't hold onto them all. Being a Twins fan means we say teary farewells to well-loved favorites every year, but at the same time, we're saying, "Finally we can see what {minor-league player} can do!"
We get excited about "kids" coming up to play. It means those of us who are older than 27 will often joke about the youth of the team: "Baker was taken out after the seventh inning, because it was his bedtime." On the other side, we also get to see guys who seem to be career minor-league players make debuts (Glenn Williams and Chris Heintz). We get to see guys who've never been great stars in professional baseball come up and perform (Brent Abernathy and Jason Tyner). We don't see a team of larger-than-life superstars—unless we're playing against them. We see guys who play baseball with heart. We see guys who keep playing year after year--so we know they love the game as much as we do.
And that's what brings us back, day after day for 162 games, good years and bad: the love of the game.So, there you have it. Another terrific Why Baseball article! Thank you Beth for taking the time to write up this article. I think it was great! Let me know what you think. If you would like to ask me or Beth and questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Yesterday, the American League Gold Glove Awards were handed out and the Twins Torii Hunter won his fifth in a row. I am reading a lot of people that are surprised by this because he played in just 98 games this year, and five of those were as a DH. However, this is how the Gold Gloves work, especially if you've won more than a couple. That Torii won the Gold Glove is not a surprise at all! Think about it. In 1999, Rafael Palmiero won his third straight Gold Glove at 1B. However, in that particular season, he played just 28 games at 1B. So, Torii's "win" should surprise no one, even though his fielding percentage and range factors got worse for the second straight season. And yes, Derek Jeter did win his second in a row. Sad, huh? These are all reasons why the Gold Gloves, although nice and an honor, are really not a big deal.
Denard Span had two more hits in Arizona yesterday. Travis Bowyer struck out three in two shutout innings.
Minnesota native and former Twins player Michael Restovich is just tearing up Venezuela so far this winter. Through 13 games, his .396 batting average is 2nd in the league. He has eight extra base hits.
Finally, be sure to check out John Sickels' minor league blog throughout the day on Wednesday. His Schedule promises a Review of the Twins Top 20 Prospects. I'm sure that will be quite interesting.
And on that note, I am going to call it a day. I certainly hope that you have found the "Why Baseball" article by Beth worth reading, and I hope that many of you will be interested in participating. I will be back tomorrow with a very interesting guest column. If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me.

I would definitely recommend this park. The owners were great in helping us take care of some business matters (the reason why we were in town), and, when we had problems with our Fifth Wheel the owners gave us a hand. We stayed four nights and got delayed in leaving on the fifth day. The location is great. Right off of Hwy 6. You can get anywhere you want to go fast. HEB grocery store is right down the road along with gas. You do hear some road noise being so close to the highway, but, it was not a problem for us with running the air-conditioners. I will definitely come back and stay again when I'm back in town.

Great park! Beautiful setting! Can be crowded and check-in can be a very long wait when crowded. If you camp during the off season the crowds aren't as bad. Uvalde is only about 30 minutes away with grocery shopping, restaurants, shopping, drugstores. Would highly recommend this camp ground, and I plan on going back during the off season again.

Getting there
A word from Samba Brazilian Steakhouse & Lounge
A dizzying array of sizzling, fire-roasted meats ranging from Picanha (Brazilian top sirloin), Pork Tenderloin to savory sausages, chicken and lamb are skewered, slowly roasted over an open flame and then expertly carved right at your table. And as if that wasn't enough,we've paired our succulent
meats with an extensive buffet featuring salads and freshly prepared hot and cold side dishes. Churrascaria roughly translates from the Portuguese word for barbecue and is a centuries old culinary tradition. At Samba, we honor the traditional rodizio feast, while infusing it with new and unexpected tastes inspired by the pulse and energy of Brazilian culture. From the moment you walk into Samba, you know for sure this isn't your average Brazilian steakhouse!

Diner Reviews
We have walked past this
restaurant many times wanting to give it a try, Living Social gave us a push and we are glad they did. Top top notch server and the food was very good. The salad bar was clean and well stocked at all times and the main dishes were very good, although of course it depends on what you like, if you don't like something just pass and somebody else will be along in a minute with something else. It was also a fun place, everybody was having a great time and we can't wait to go back. The manager was clearly visable and stopped by to check on things which was nice."

I was expecting more variety in
meats and it seemed that the same cuts came around often....I was not able to try lamb or pork and unfortunately our waiter seemed overwhelmed with tables and did not refill our drinks as much as we would have liked. The seating was not very comforting since we were upstair in a corner and it seemed we were on time out in a corner...we felt forgotten. Unfortunately we would not visit again, which is sad considering that the Redondo location is what drew us to try this one."
Dined on 2/22/2014
I took my boyfriend here as a
birthday surprise and we had a load of fun! Everything was prompt, the steaks was beyond amazing and you can't forget the sangria, phenomenal! There were also dancers that made the night that much better. Service was on point. Can't wait to go there again!"
Dined on 2/17/2014
I received three calls prior to my
reservation to comfirm. Also once there my wife & I were seated in a tight place. Rubbing elbows with other quest's. What I thought was a going to be a intimate evening didn't turned out that way that all. To top it off the quest seated next was trying to interact with us & others about how the restaurant works what to eat & so on!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
After a trip to The Pantages, we
came here for dinner. We were early, so we walked around City Walk. We were still early so we went to the bar to wait. You have to try one of the cachaca beverages. Not a sweet as traditional rum, but very tasty. Shortly, we were escorted to our table and FUN began. All the waiters and meat passers were gorgeous! They eye candy made you want to stay at your table as long as possible. The salad bar was packed with a nice variety of foods, but do not fill up, the meat is coming. Our waiter was helpful with the cachaca menu and helped with pairing. The lamb was my favorite. It was spiced and spicy. The fish tasted had the texture of solid butter. All the varieties of beef were very good. Remember to go hungry!!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
cuts of meat were often dry or
overcooked, the restaurant was not understaffed but the service was not up to par (many employees stood around doing nothing, but my waiter was running around working so hard that he barely had time for us), but the rest of the employees spent most of their time talking to eachother. for what you're getting, samba is overpriced and I would most likely not eat there again, unless I had a deal of some sort. sambas dinner costs 39$ per person for dinner(with the same food as lunch, which is 21$) but is not half as good as other Brazilian steakhouses(like pichana) that are cheaper. the restaurant needs a change, many of these problems(including the meat) are from negligent employees."
Dined on 2/14/2014
service was ok. ordered an iced
tea had to wait several minutes for the waiter to come back to ask him for sugar for the iced tea. the server that was bringing out the meat was to fast to enjoy any of the meat and was a bit inpatient."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I was disappointed with the
service provided given that the food was below average and they did not accept gift cards on Valentiens Day. That is horrible because the only reason why we went was because we had gift cards. These are not certificates or coupons but gift cards so it shouldn't mAtter what day it is, we should be able to use it. We ended up spending $140.00 for two people and the food wasn't great at all. Very disappointing."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We went here because of a groupon
deal. It's inside the Universal City Walk. Food was good, if you're into meats. There's a brazilian show and dancers perform while you eat. Their drinks are great. A bit pricey though."
Dined on 6/21/2013
Service, atmosphere were excellent
but the meat skewers were very repetitive for a Brasilian restaurant."
Dined on 2/13/2014
If you're looking to stuff your
face with delicious cuts of meat this is the place for you! Bountiful and delicious sides, great drinks, beautiful entertainment and overall a great dinning experience!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
Been here a few times but this
time they had lamb circulating. It was some of the most amazing lamb I've ever had. Also love the sausages and garlic bread. Drinks are made strong - my Long Island didn't just taste like it was crammed with sour. Good place - good price."
Dined on 2/1/2014
the waiter was brilliant, and
funny. I believe his name was Chris. but he was the best part of the meal. The food wasn't as flavorful. It seemed more salty than marinated. And the meat seemed tougher. We will go again, probably. However Picanha in burbank is better food for a lower price."
Dined on 1/29/2014
Really cheesy, but not bad at all.
The food is so so, with certain cuts of meat being pretty good and others about average. The salad bar was weak. It was basically a cheesy version of Fogo de Chao. The ambience at City Walk is just like being in a place like Las Vegas. I am totally down for all you can eat, so would go back with a deal from a place like Living Social or Groupon, but I wouldn't pay full price."
Dined on 1/26/2014
I love this place. But I only come
when there is a Groupon or Living Social special. The meat is delicious, but not the best Churasco I've had. Samba's meets tend to be a little dry. Absolutely love the Brazilian Samba dancers. They sure can shake their feathers!"
Dined on 1/26/2014
Went as a group of 4 for a friends
birthday. The place was packed and the initial face time with the server was a bit slow, but after that everything was just jumping!. The food came out of the kitchen quickly and it was very tasty. Samba even brought out a free birthday dessert for my friend. Love this place!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
It was my first time at a
Brazilian Steakhouse. It was my mom's 50th b-day. I decided to treat her, her fiancé, and my partner to a Hollywood dinner since they were visiting us from out of town. I wrote a comment on our reservation that it was my mom's birthday. They treated my mom very well and gave her 2 drinks and a dessert on the house. The salad bar was fantastic. The meats were all pretty amazing except for one that seemed a little overcooked. It was over stimulation of the senses. Not really ambient, but definitely a dinner to get the party started. If you have friends who want to experience the pizazz of Hollywood, and who are ravenous carnivores, (salad bar for the veggies), I'd definitely recommend Samba at Universal City Walk."
Dined on 1/17/2014
We had such an amazing time at
this restaurant. The food, the dancers, the location was just perfect. This place is amazing. Loved it very much. Cant wait to go again. They made my husband feel special for his birthday. Will be visiting soon. Thank you."
Dined on 1/19/2014
We were there on a Friday night
from 7 to 9 and the showgirls performed twice while we were there. They were the highlight of our evening. The meats cooled down very quickly. Overall I would say this place was too expensive. My kids voted the Samba Redondo Beach location much better."
Dined on 1/10/2014
The male host that wanted to seat
us did not want to change our table. He claimed they were for people that had reservations. I reminded him that I had a reservation as well. He did not like that. They try to feed you the less expensive cuts of meat so you are full and would not have room for the better cuts of meat. We had to ask 6 times for the fish and several times for the lamb and pork ribs until they finally brought it. All that said the quality of the food is poor compared to other Brazilian restuarants I have been to. I will NOT recommend this restuarant."

I enjoyed the variety of meat that
was offered. The salad bar was great as well. There is really nothing negative to say about my experience there."
Dined on 1/3/2014
The food was great. I really
enjoyed the freshness and selection in the salad bar. The meat selections were great, I loved the fact they served fish. I feel it's a little too pricy though, because for just 2 entree's and 2 drinks, it was over 100$."
Dined on 12/27/2013
I may have had my expectation set
very high but the brazillian place down by us is much better. Slow service, very limited selection on the sides and a lot of times the meat was overcooked."
Dined on 12/27/2013
All I can say is make sure your
hungry when you go here. Don't eat too much right away because there's lots of great food to try"
Dined on 12/24/2013
It was our first time trying out
one of these all you can eat Brazilian places, & I had heard so many good things about this place Samba. It's all you can eat, you literally just tell the waiters what you would like to try, ask your questions as to what animal & what not. The waiters know most diners aren't experts so they were all super friendly in explaining everything to you. The bar is quite small, so its not the best for you large party/group pre-dinner alcoholics. We had some rather high hopes & expectations, but we had to drive about 75 miles in 6pm LA-traffic. And to be honest, our hopes & expectations were met! (they weren't exceeded, like we weren't speechless or anything, but our expectations were met, & YES we would go again"
Dined on 12/14/2013
Traffic was a little heavy on the
way to the restaurant so we called ahead to inform them we would be a little late. We were informed that if we do not arrive within 15 min of the appt. time, our table would be given away. This was not met with delight. We managed to get there on time and there were several tables open, well after we arrived so I'm not sure why that statement was necessary. We were sat right away and the waiter attended to us immediately. I did not find the atmosphere to be very intimate or warm. The food was good, but when compared to other Brazilian Restaurants, I was only truly impressed with the beef ribs. The beef meats, like top sirloin, sirloin, garlic beef were all tougher than I like. Great Dancers."
Dined on 12/13/2013
We had our office party here and
it was very nice. The dancers were wonderful and the service was right on target. The food, was a little better last year -more steak, less low end chicken and such -and the lava cake had set out too long and didn't 'flow', but still pretty good. We will probably do our party here again next year - 3rd time in a row!"

Everything was great the service

SAMBA is a great place to gorge on
"rodizio" -- the Brazilian rotisserie over wood fire method of grilling all manner of meat. Although the salad bar is much smaller in terms of selection than other SoCal churrascarias, the several offerings are fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was busier than usual for a Thursday night, as Travelzoo patrons were hurrying to use their 50% off vouchers before Friday's deadline, but that didn't stop the "gauchos" from delivering a plentiful supply of gut-filling beef, lamb, pork, and chicken. The most incredible sight was the platter of enormous beef ribs! And they were grilled to melt-in-your mouth perfection with a crispy exterior. I have never seen this before in any other churrascaria. Cute dancers"
Dined on 12/5/2013
We went because we bought
travelzoo voucher. For the normal price, it is quite expensive. Location is great."

My friends and I had a great

Dined on 11/29/2013
We visited on Thanksgiving night
and really enjoyed the experience. Salads/sides were plentiful and it was nice to have traditional favorites like mash potatoes and stuffing to add to holiday feel. The various meat options arrived quickly and while I was hoping to try some more exotic options .(only served steak, chicken, turkey) they were well prepared."
Dined on 11/28/2013
Been to Samba many times;
disappointed this time. Greeted enthusiastically and assured our every need would be looked after, and, after returning from the buffet, we received our drink order. A short time later, we received 1 drink refill and an offer of additional cocktails. When we declined a second cocktail, we never saw our server again. EVER! For 60 min. we had to beg the bus staff for drinks. The server next to us was extremely attentive to his guests, bringing 3 drink refills, a special plate of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.--not the fruit from the buffet), etc. during dinner for his guests. His service was exceptional. When we begged for the check, it was this server next door who brought it. ABSURD."
Dined on 11/24/2013
The staff here was very polite. I
love Brazilian BBQ but was a bit disappointed that they didn't have chicken breasts without bacon or any filet mignon. The salad bar was very good, my favorite was the kale salad and rice and beans. They also have an array of hot sauces that compliment everything nicely."
Dined on 11/22/2013
We have a couple places like these
in the Bay Area and it is great to experience these in another area. We were seated right away and had a lot to choose from in their salad bar. The meats were on constant rotation and the Caeser salad had cheese on it which I appreciated. There were plenty of sides, however there were no plain black or green olives. I requested the grilled pineapple near the end of the meal and was surprised to find it rubbed down with brown sugar. I usually only have it grilled, but the brown rub and the char from the grill gave the pineapple a slightly sweeter, but juicy pineapple taste. The location on the Universal City Walk is convenient as we had been at the park from open to close and didn't have to leave to eat."
Dined on 11/15/2013
Food was excellent. We were the
only diners at 11:30 AM on a Saturday."
Dined on 11/16/2013
Restaurant itself was alright in
terms of food quality. I think that it was little salty, but I think that it can be one-time mistake by cook. However, I was totally furious about the fact that restaurant didn't validate parking, and you should pay $15 for Sunday night for the first two hours. To make matters worse, parking lot charges you additional $15 if you are late just 1 minute after two hours. I was late for 8 minutes, and they ask you to pay $30 for parking. It's strange that most place go by $ for first 30 minutes, etc... In this place, they go by doubling $15 no matter what. If I were you, you may not save and enjoy time much by going this place. You'd better go to another brazilian steak house with no parking fee or $2~$10 mostly"
Dined on 11/10/2013
Outstanding service, beautiful
dancers... staff and Manager were very attentive."
Dined on 11/14/2013
This restaurant is so boring, it
lacks EVERYTHING! No decor, no good vibe. The salad bar/side choices are non existent......WHERE IS THE FOOD???? If want the Brazilian experience do not come here! Very disappointing!! And then the tables are so close and cramped you might as well be sitting in the lap of strangers eating out of their plate."
Dined on 11/9/2013
I can see this as a good place to
dine after a long day at Universal Studios. However, to come here just for Brazilian BBQ is excessive, especially because we still had to pay the $15 parking. that's ok, we learned our lesson fast... we will opt for the Redondo Beach location if we are not playing at the studios"

Event entices students to educational and career paths
This story was updated to correct the school that Adrianna Vallejos attends.
BARSTOW • Adrianna Vallejos is a ninth grader at Excelsior Charter Schools Barstow Campus who will soon complete a certificate in advanced welding through Barstow Community College.
This is just one of a handful of career pathways instructors from BCC's Career Technical Education program highlighted Tuesday at Barstow High School's 4th Annual Career Day.
"We're going to have about 1,500 students come through and the reason why we do this is to give students in Barstow an opportunity to see all of the options available right here in their own backyard," said Sara Kardouni, lead teacher for Mojave XP Academy, which sponsored the event.
"Most kids don't realize there are civilian jobs on the Marine Corps Base — so we have people down there from the MCLB telling the kids about the job opportunities," she said.
Others included the U.S. Army, BNSF, California Highway Patrol, Barstow Police Department, FIDM, Barstow Fire District and Barstow Community Hospital. Students were given stamp passports to motivate them to approach individual booths and ask questions.
"It's a lot better than last year. It's huge and the kids are pretty excited," Kardouni said. "They can see the path from here — high school to adult life."
Ronnie Garcia, Regional Manager for Field Safety and Support from BNSF, taught students about safety and careers.
"I came up through the ranks. I started off at the bottom. I was a switchman and became a locomotive engineer and then I went to management about 12 years ago," Garcia said. "I tell the kids 'Hey, don't ever sell yourself short. You can start down at the bottom and work your way up.'"
BNSF is the fourth-largest employer in Barstow and is also a major contributor to the Mojave XP Academy, according to Chairman Lawrence Dale. The Mojave XP Academy trains students for careers in business, logistics and transportation.
Student Chris Irwin said he has benefited from the academy. Now a senior, he plans to become a welder when he graduates.
"I've learned there are more jobs open than what you think. Everyone here has their own individual take on it so it's actually very refreshing and interesting," Irwin said.
Another student, Esperanza Gallegos talked to several nurses from Barstow Community Hospital at their booth.
"It's cool, I learned that in 2014 that the standards to be a nurse practitioner are going to be raised," Gallegos said.
Amal Museitef, a Barstow High School graduate now working as a registered nurse, said she was pushing education and the benefits of becoming a nurse. She said she was happy to come back to her alma mater to share her story.
"I personally have been encouraging a four-year degree because that's what I have and that's what is going to become the standard," Museitef said.
Barstow High School and Barstow Community College are partnering to allow students to take college courses while still in high school. The program would bus students from the high school and allow them to complete two to three college courses a semester, according to BHS Vice Principal Jose Rubio.
"When we do things like this our kids always seem to excel. They put on a good show," Rubio said about Career Day.
Vocational programs at the college are also available to students as early as 7th grade, and range from automotive, cosmetology, welding, photography, child development, diesel and electrical.
"We're partnering with grades K-12 to give kids a better understanding, to give them the skill trades to get the jobs that are out there," Sandy Thomas, Director of Career Technical Education at BCC, said. "The neat thing is it's free to Barstow High School students. So students at the high school level can come and start a degree or certificate in any of these."
nobody said we don't need reform. the system is not that great. but what we definatel don't need is socialized medicine, run by a government that has destroyed nearly every program it has got it's grubby little fingers on. leave business to business people, not politicians |

3 years ago my company picked up the entire cost of my health coverage. Now, just my contribution is over $200 a month and the cost of prescritions and office visits have doubled yet my coverage hasn't gotten any better.
We don't need health care reform. Yea, the current systems works so well. |

home > learning center > insights > insurance by state > maine driver information
Maine is home to the pine tree, the majestic moose, and, less famously, the violation free credit. Read on to get a better understanding of driving regulations in the Pine Tree State.
Number of licensed drivers: 1,014,000
Registered vehicles: 1,056,000
Licensing and registration authority: Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles
Maine tracks its drivers through driving records, which record past violations and accidents.
Moving violations in Maine could add 2–6 points to a driver's record, depending on the severity of the offense. Failing to stop at a red light, for example, could earn 4 demerit points, while more serious violations, like driving the wrong way, can add 6 demerit points. Points are removed from a driver's record after one year.
Accruing 12 points or more could lead to a license suspension.
You could receive a violation free credit for each year without a traffic violation or suspension, up to a total of 4 credits. Credits remove points from your driving record.
Once a year, Maine will let you take this 5-hour course (or any other approved driver course) to remove 3 demerit points from your driving record.
Call the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety at (207) 626-3840 for more information.
Drivers with a BAC of .08 or higher could be found guilty of operating under the influence (OUI). A first offense can lead to $500 in fines and a 90-day license suspension. If speeding is involved or there is an excessively high BAC (.15 or above), a 48-hour jail sentence could also be implemented.
When you drive in Maine, you're agreeing to take a blood or breath test whenever requested by police or the courts. Refusing a breath test could lead to a license suspension (for up to 6 years) and 96 hours in jail.
An SR-22 document certifies that you're carrying the amount of insurance required by the state of Maine. This document may be required if you've been convicted of a major traffic offense, like an OUI or driving without insurance.
Although talking on a cell phone is permitted as of August 2012, texting and driving is against the law in Maine.
Distracted driving is also restricted, so if your cell phone becomes a distraction, you can be ticketed.
All texting and cell phone use is prohibited for novice drivers.
Maine's a big state that has more than its share of driving dangers.
Maine has the largest moose population in the U.S. outside of Alaska. Though there are more reported collisions with deer in the state each year, moose are larger — and potentially more dangerous.
According to a Maine DOT report, moose collisions accounted for 15 percent of total animal-car collisions but caused 50 percent of total reported injuries.
It's always a good idea to call police to the scene of an accident. But Maine law requires you to do so only when the accident caused an injury or more than $1,000 in damage.
A recent National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) report revealed that the most stolen vehicles in Maine were:
Bangor had the highest rate of car thefts in 2011, though more than 3 times as many cars were stolen from the Portland area (118 in Bangor, 393 in Portland).
Comprehensive coverage, which is optional unless your loan or finance company requires it, offers financial protection in case your car is stolen.
You're required to register your vehicle and get your Maine drivers license within 30 days of becoming a legal resident of the state.
If you're a Maine resident who's deployed overseas or in another state, your registration remains valid during your deployment and an additional 45 days after your return home. If you're a resident from another state deployed in Maine, you can use a valid license from your home state while deployed here — or a valid military license when operating military vehicles.

Maine facts & trivia
Statehood Maine became the 23rd state on March 15, 1820.
State capital Augusta, ME
Population 1,328,361
State nickname The Pine Tree State
Major metropolitan areas Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, and Auburn
Child's play Famous Mainer Milton Bradley wanted to create a positive experience for kids following the Civil War, so he invented a board game. "The Game of Life" is still popular with children and adults alike.
Shine a light on me Over 60 lighthouses pepper the coastline of Maine.
Surf and turf If you've ever enjoyed a lobster roll, chances are that lobster was from the Pine Tree State. More than 90 percent of the nation's lobster is caught in Maine.
The moose are loose Maine's official state animal can reach heights of 6 feet, weigh up to 1,600 pounds, and sport antlers spreading up to 5 feet wide.

Following the article by Breno Freitas in edition 30 of Bees for Development Journal, Professor William Ramirez of Costa Rica has sent us some of his favoured techniques for finding the elusive lady.
One of a beekeeper's most time-consuming and tiresome activities is finding a queen in a hive, especially when the colony has a large population of workers or the bees are very defensive The usual way is to take out each comb one by one from the brood chamber and examine both sides until the queen is found This method disturbs the bees and induces robbing and defensive behaviour, especially in African bees.
1. Prepare an empty and clean hive body with a bottom board (box B), move the queenright hive (box A) to elsewhere in the apiary and place box B at the side of it. Smoke gently on the top-bars on one side of the hive and remove the first lateral comb, check for the queen, and move the comb to box B. Move all the combs to box B one by one, checking for the queen. If she is not found on the combs, she may be on the lateral walls of box A where the last comb was removed, or on the bottom board.
If the queen is not found in the empty box (A) or on the bottom of the hive, shake the remaining bees on to a light coloured board and search for her there. If you still cannot find the queen move the frames again from box B to A, checking for the queen.
2. If a colony is very defensive and overpopulated, remove it (A) to another place in the apiary, put a new box (B) in the original site of box A, and put in it one comb with open brood surrounded by empty drawn combs or frames with wax foundation. Wait for three days until all the field workers have moved from box A to box B. By that time colony A will have only young bees, which are unable to fly and sting, plus the queen. Smoke hive A very gently, remove the supers and search for the queen in the combs of the brood nest.
3. Take a queen cage (a Miller "pushing" cage is preferable) with an old, alive queen and put it on top of the brood of the hive with the queen being searched for. Close the hive and open it again 20 minutes later, the queen being searched for will be found trying to fight with the introduced queen.
4. Old dead queens kept in the freezer are useful. Open the hive where you need to find a queen, and place a dead queen with a pin on a top-bar in the middle of the nest chamber. Close the hive and open it again 20 minutes later; the queen being searched for will be 'fighting' with the dead queen.

I enjoy history, and learning about how people migrated and settled this land, and just generally getting out and exploring. I like to bike and hike, and I consider it a nice rounded day when I enjoy a little botany, some geology, maybe cross a historic bridge and then visit a cemetery. I hope the memorials and photographs I post help families connect. I hope others are doing the same for my ancestors in the distant places I am unable to visit. I'm always happy to share photos for genealogical use (not-for-profit).
When contacting me about a SPECIFIC MEMORIAL � please use the EDIT button on the memorial. When you do this, it emails me a direct link to the memorial, and it makes it so EASY to make corrections or add additional information. When posted to my profile page, I have a hard time figuring out which memorial you are writing about. As I tell folks in my office, when faced with multiple requests, I usually go for the easiest one to fulfill first � so if it's important to you, make it easy for me.
NOTE/DISCLAIMER. I travel some for work, have occasional health disruptions, have similar computer disruptions, so sometimes, I'm slow to act/respond. Sometimes I'm just chasing another interest/life pursuit. Please be patient, and, I don't mind reminders at all. Sometimes, I make typos too. Just send me an EDIT note and forgive my clumsy keyboarding.

Hey Mark, I noticed that you have added a lot of personal photos to a lot of my memorials. Example: Howletts.
I just wanted you to know that except for a few Andersons and a few Snipes, very distant, I am not related to another single person there.
I am just trying to document the cemetery. Also, I have no problem whatsoever in transferring family.
Let me know if you want anyone transferred.

While is there is no single exceptional quality of the hotel, the consistent above-average quality of the hotel is exceptional itself. The hotel is located conveniently, the room was clean and comfortable, the wifi works well. There is nothing to complain about. That being said, our room was small, there were only two small lights in the room, and the bathroom was very small. It's not a luxury hotel, it is a fantastic value hotel.
""Reviewed by Cheri C of "Oklahoma" on Oct 10, 2010
Beautiful hotel, great service, modest prices. My only criticism is that our room was a little hot at night, but I am used to 70F or below for sleep, so I think the temperature would be fine for most people. I highly recommend a stay at this lovely hotel.
"Great place"Reviewed by Tim F of "MARS." on Oct 14, 2009
The location is only about six blocks from city center and one block from the aqueduct. The food is very good and the prices are ok. The hotel staff was very helpful and nice. Rooms on the street side can be very noisy. The double beds are a little small. They fit singles better than couples.

Keeping It Classy: Large Breasted Mouse Pads
Because Japan has infinitely cooler (and 10x perverted) everything, it was only a matter of time before they beat us to the invention of breasted mouse pads. I don't know where you get them, and I don't know why you would get them, all I know is I did get them.

Abstract: For sensors constructed by freestanding membranes, when the gap between a freestanding membrane and the substrate or between membranes is at micron scale, the effects of near-field radiative heat transfer on the sensors' thermal performance should be considered during sensor design. The radiative heat flux is transferred from a membrane to a plane or from a membrane to a membrane. In the current study of the near-field thermal radiation, the scanning probe technology has difficulty in making a membrane separated at micron scale parallel to a plane or another membrane. A novel MEMS (micro electromechanical system) device was developed by sacrificial layer technique in this work to realize a double parallel freestanding membrane structure. Each freestanding membrane has a platinum thin-film resistor and the distance between the two membranes is 1 m. After evaluating the electrical and thermal characteristics of the lower freestanding membrane, experimental measurements of near-field radiative heat transfer between the lower membrane and the upper membrane were carried out by setting the lower membrane as a heat emitter and the upper membrane as a heat receiver. The near-field radiative heat transfer between the two membranes was validated by finding a larger-than-blackbody radiative heat transfer based on the experimental data.

Liberal Gun Policies Just Killed 12 More People
Tuesday, September 17th, 2013In the wake of yesterday's horrific events in Washington DC, we have learned one thing.
We have learned that liberals haven't learned one damn thing.
What happened on November 5th, 2009 at Ft. Hood happened again yesterday at the Navy Yard in our Nation's Capitol.
Before the shooter was dead and before the smell of gun powder had cleared from Building 197, liberals, those elected, those who sell socialist snake oil via the MSM and celebrities who think they are so important that they MUST open THEIR pie holes were once again, beating the GUN CONTROL war drums.
They need to shut the hell up.
I have a couple of questions to pose to those knot-heads.
WHY do they think Hasan opened fire at Ft. Hood?
WHY do they think that freak opened fire at Sandy Hook?
WHY do they think Aaron Alexis opened fire yesterday at the DC Navy Yard?
I'll happily tell them why…

By Orathai Sriring and Kitiphong Thaichareon
BANGKOK, June 28 (Reuters) - Thailand's exports fell in May from a year before and domestic demand was weak as a big government stimulus scheme wound down, central bank data showed on Friday, suggesting the economy is slowing and interest rates should stay low to support growth.
A big fall in foreign reserves showed the central bank was supporting the baht in the week to June 21, in line with its aim to smooth excessive volatility and help industry, which earlier this year had to cope with a jump in the currency.
The Bank of Thailand (BOTS) said exports, which are equal to more than 60 percent of the economy each year, dropped 5.1 percent in May from a year before after a rise of 3.7 percent in April.
'In May, the overall economy moderated in line with private consumption, which was affected by rising household debt and waning fiscal stimulus. Fragile global demand weighed on merchandise exports,' the central bank said.
Consumption was flat compared with April but eased 0.2 percent from May 2012, it said. Car purchases fell as a government scheme subsidising first-time buyers wound down, while households were more cautious about spending.
Private investment eased 0.7 percent in May from April and 3.3 percent from May 2012, reflecting falling spending on machinery and equipment following lower imports plus base effects from post-flood construction last year, it said.
Earlier on Friday, Industry Ministry data showed factory output slid 7.8 percent in May from a year before but rose 10 percent from the previous month. In April, output fell a revised 4.2 percent on the year and about 19 percent from March.
However, overall capital utilisation was 65.8 percent in May, up from 60.2 percent in April, when factories closed for the long Thai holiday of Song.
Industrial goods account for about 65 percent of total shipments. Thailand is a regional hub and export base for global car makers and the world's number two maker of hard disk drives.
Given global uncertainty, economists think the Boy's monetary policy committee (MPC) should keep interest rates low for now after a May 29 cut.
July is 'too early for the committee to make another cut as they will need to look at more incoming data,' said Thammarat Kittisiripat, an economist with TM Bank.
However, some feel conditions already justify another cut.
Capital Nomura Securities said in a report that May data suggests GDP growth for the second quarter might not reach 4 percent year-on-year' and supports its forecast there will be another 25 basis point cut at a July 10 policy meeting.
On May 29, the MPC cut the policy rate by a quarter point to 2.50 percent after weak gross domestic product data backed government calls for a cut.
The government had been pushing for lower rates to help deter hot money inflows that pushed the baht to a 16-year high of 28.55 per dollar in April. It has since retreated on fears of government controls and capital outflows. On Friday, it was around 31.03/05, down 1.3 percent this year.
The central bank has said it will act only to ensure currency stability and will not resist the market trend.
In the week to June 21, foreign reserves fell to $172.8 billion from $176.5 billion the previous week. BOTS Assistant Governor Pong pen Ruengvirayudh said that was due to the central bank's 'dollar selling plus lower gold prices'.
The BOTS has said it would cut its 2013 economic growth forecast from 5.1 percent following a weak first quarter, when GDP shrank 2.2 percent from the previous three months.
On Thursday the Finance Ministry lowered its 2013 growth projection to 4.5 percent from 5.3 percent as domestic demand slowed. The state planning agency forecasts 4.2-5.2 percent.

Low interest rate environments are intended by governments as a way of stimulating economic growth by encouraging business investment. However, those same low interest rates have created a significant barrier to banks working out their legacy of non-performing real estate loans.

County buying land from town
Dorchester County is negotiating with Summerville to buy land next to the Waring Fire Station on Old Trolley Road to build a new EMS station.
The county's EMS staff currently shares space with the town firefighters, but the building doesn't meet accreditation standards, EMS Director Doug Warren has told council.
He told members during budget talks in 2012 that moving the Old Trolley Road station was his No. 1 priority.
Among the problems at the Waring station is the lack of separate facilities for men and women.
Administrator Jason Ward said Mayor Bill Collins is willing to subdivide the land on which the fire station sits so the county can buy and build its own station.
"That is one of our busiest medic areas," he said.
Price is still being negotiated. The county has some funds in its capital improvement plan for the current fiscal year, Ward said, but he would return to council for approval of the final sales price.

Definition of lobate in English:
Syllabification: lo·batePronunciation: /ˈlōˌbāt
Biology- Having a lobe or lobes: lobate oak leavesMore example sentences
- The median lobate structure, formed by fusion of the two median muscle boundaries of the true lobes, may be extended away from the two lateral lobate structures (which are the lateral muscle boundaries of the true lobes).
- At the distal end, the axis is turned upward and lobate and is divided into five lobes.
- The structure is radial and lobate with a series of narrow and wide lobes.
- More example sentences
- Key characters in the genus are ovary lobation, features of the stigma, anther/filament ratio, leaf shape, and whether or not the leaves are sessile or petiolate.
- As differences in the direction of the dorsal node and the style and relative length of lobation are the key criteria used to differentiate hipponicharionid genera, it is appropriate to erect a new genus for this Antarctic bradoriid.
- Adults of both groups have complex glabellar lobation.

I love genealogy, but just don't have the time to devote to it. Around my house are boxes and boxes of stuff devoted to my family's history. I keep telling myself that I will organize it and write a book, but alas my personal and work life get in the way.
Most Fun Find:
I was researching my husband's family and they do not have good records of their ancestors. I went to the Denver Public Library to search old newspaper obituaries from Breckenridge and I found a long and detailed obituary about a relative who came out to cure her tuberculosis, only to succumb to the disease.
Research Goals:
Just to clean out my messy files.
Software Expertise:
I am quite the geek and can handle any software program. I keep my family's history on PAF.
Research Assistance:
No - I am unable to help others with their research at this time.

French Lemon-Apricot Tart Recipe
If you like citrus, you'll love this lovely lemon tart. The apricot preserves add sheen and a nice bit of sweetness. Bon appetite!Peggy Lunde, Costa Mesa, California
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup apricot preserves, warmed
- Fresh mint leaves, optional
- Place the flour, confectioners' sugar, butter and salt in a food processor. Cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk, processing just until mixture forms a soft dough. Shape into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake at 400° for 10-12 min. or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 325°.
- In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, lemon juice, sugar and lemon peel until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Pour into crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
- Spread preserves over tart. Garnish with mint if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.
