What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you hearken back to when you were four years old? Three? I have a memory from November, 1963. I was 27 months old. I was sitting with my sister on the tiled family room floor, between our mother and the black and white television with the furniture legs and the rounded glass screen. Mom was ironing.
Mom was glued to the TV. This happened several times in the 1960s; political unrest, civil rights demonstrations, and the exploits of the NASA space program drew Americans to their televisions in a similar manner to the events that caused citizens to huddle around radios a generation earlier.
On the TV in my earliest memory was the drama of the aftermath of the John F. Kennedy assassination. I very distinctly recall the funeral procession, in particular. The crowds, the horses, the large United States flag draped over what I'd one day learn was the president's casket on that carriage. The heavy drama of that entire week beamed through every TV in the country.
Eh- maybe I just remember knowing about all that, at an early age. Who really knows for sure. Either way, for me, there is personal intrinsic value in that story.
Other very early memories I have are of summertime parades. I used to love those. The fire trucks and police cars turned their sirens and lights on- what little boy wouldn't love that? The marching war veterans commanded my attention, as well. I definitely recall being told that the oldest of those had fought in the Spanish-American War.
Wow- I observed men who had seen battle in a war fought in the Nineteenth Century. Wouldn't it be terrific to have the opportunity to have a conversation with them today? What was it like? Did they know any stories involving Teddy Roosevelt? It might be best to just be quiet and let them reminisce.
One of the great things about baseball is that while it was the king of American sports in a bygone era, legions of writers dutifully recorded the game. Sure, there was a protective filter that was honored by beat reporters, men who lived with the ballplayers for most of the year. But in addition to descriptions of performances and results, we have engaging details of the lives and times of the boys and men who played the game.
There was a 1966 project that broke new ground with its interviewing style. Lawrence S. Ritter, having tracked down men who'd played baseball 40-60 years prior, simply let the ballplayers talk. They were given free rein to go in any direction they liked, and to speak about whatever they wanted.
The project's fascinating compilation is the seminal The Glory of Their Times, The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It. It is a must-own for baseball fans. To read what are basically transcripts of now-100-year-old tales is highly compelling.
One thing that strikes the reader is how interwoven the city of Cleveland has been through the fabric of baseball history. It seems every other account involves a Clevelander, a Cleveland player, or at least an indirect connection to the town.
I thought it would be fun to look at some of the book's first chapter. If you have not read the book, and you think you might enjoy it after finishing this account, please pick it up- you'll not be disappointed.
Chapter One - Rube Marquard
Marquard explains that he grew up in Cleveland, as the son of the city's Chief Engineer. His father's firm requirement for young Richard was that he get a good education. And to Dad, baseball could only interfere with that. The boy's grandfather would even speak highly of a baseball career, to no avail.
Young Richard was tall for his age, and he played ball with the older kids. As he grew into his teenage years, he became the batboy for the Cleveland ballclub. They were known as the Bronchos, and then the Naps (in honor of the great Napoleon Lajoie). He carried bats for Lajoie, Elmer Flick, Terry Turner and the other players. After the season was over, the team would barnstorm around Cleveland and Marquard continued to serve as their batboy.
He, too, wanted to become a big league ballplayer. He was a lefty pitcher with a good arm.
One of Marquard's (older) friends caught on with a minor league team in Iowa, and told him to come and try out for the team. He apparently thought Marquard was older than the fifteen or sixteen he actually was. Marquard was ready- but he didn't have any money with which to get there. He couldn't ask his father…
A telegram arrived at the Marquard home in Cleveland. The Waterloo manager was offering to reimburse Marquard for transportation, if he could first earn a spot on the team. Marquard wrote back with a long appeal for a cash advance for the trip west. Every day, the boy made sure he retrieved the mail, since if his father saw correspondence from a baseball club, young Richard would have a serious problem.
But no reply came. Eventually, the impatient kid left home, under false pretenses. It was his first time ever away from home. It took five full days to get to Waterloo. He rode freight trains, slept under the stars, and hitched rides. When he arrived in town, the depot stationmaster (there is a photo of the station in the book) grabbed him, and was revolted by how filthy he was. Marquard had to explain how he was not a vagrant- he was a ballplayer. He could prove it, with the help of his buddy on the team.
The manager of the Waterloo club was not his friend. He told Marquard he would pitch the next day, but accomodations and clean clothes were his problem to worry about. Food, as well. And he'd get paid after the game. Marquard was completely exhausted when he pitched, yet he won a 6-1 game.
It became clear to Marquard that the manager was going to take advantage of him for as long as he could- no contract would be forthcoming. The dejected teenager returned to the depot for the trip home to Cleveland.
The first leg of the trip led him to Chicago, where he came upon a fire house. Nobody was around, so he sat down and nodded off near a warm big-bellied stove. The firemen returned from a run, and woke him up. He told his story- that he was a ballplayer from the Cleveland sandlots, but they did not believe him. Taking a liking to him, they pooled some money together to send him home. Richard Marquard declared that one day, when he made the big leagues, he would be back.
Once he got home, the Cleveland ballclub made him an offer. Marquard was wary- he was not going to be taken advantage of again, and oh-by-the-way they had complicated matters by alarming his father. The offer they made was no better than what the kid was earning at the ice cream company where he worked (plus, that job included all the ice cream he could eat…). He did not sign with Cleveland.
In a fortuitous turn, Marquard met Charlie Carr, a Clevelander who managed the Indianapolis ballclub. Carr asked him to sign. Marquard named his price, and Carr agreed.
Richard Marquard's father listened to the details of the contract… and disowned his son.
The pitcher was noted by a baseball writer as having a resemblance to another great left handed pitcher, Rube Waddell. The nickname "Rube" stuck. He began to have success as a minor league ballplayer.
Cleveland again came calling, but Rube Marquard was done with them…
Late in the 1907 season, the big leagues had an off day, and the teams' representatives descended upon Columbus, Ohio to watch Marquard pitch. He threw a perfect game that day, and every one of the big league teams bid on him. Cleveland bid $10,500. The New York Giants' bid of $11,000 was the winner; that was the highest price ever paid for a player, to date.
In the early portion of the 1909 season, the Giants had a road trip to Chicago. The nineteen year old pitcher couldn't wait. When they arrived, he proceeded directly to the old firehouse where he'd showed up a few years earlier. After a few moment, the firemen remembered him- and so began several years of reunions. The firemen would gather the kids from the neighborhood and have them meet Rube. It was a thrill for everyone, including the pitcher.
Years later, an elderly visitor requested to see Rube Marquard, when he was with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was his father. They reconciled, and spent considerable time with each other in New York.
Rube Marquard was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971. There is some debate over the level of truth to some of his personal accounts… Personally, I do not expend energy on such concerns. Really, who cares? It's baseball - there is considerable intrinsic worth in the memories of an old ballplayer from days gone by.

SummarySome Ts in nuclear DNA of trypanosomes and Leishmania are hydroxylated and glucosylated to yield base J (β-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil). In Leishmania, about 99% of J is located in telomeric repeats. We show here that most of the remaining J is located at chromosome-internal RNA polymerase II termination sites. This internal J and telomeric J can be reduced by a knockout of J-binding protein 2 (JBP2), an enzyme involved in the first step of J biosynthesis. J levels are further reduced by growing Leishmania JBP2 knockout cells in BrdU-containing medium, resulting in cell death. The loss of internal J in JBP2 knockout cells is accompanied by massive readthrough at RNA polymerase II termination sites. The readthrough varies between transcription units but may extend over 100 kb. We conclude that J is required for proper transcription termination and infer that the absence of internal J kills Leishmania by massive readthrough of transcriptional stops.

AbstractProteophosphoglycans are an expanding family of highly glycosylated Leishmania proteins with many unusual and some unique structural features. The novel protein–glycan linkage in proteophosphoglycans – phosphoglycosylation of Ser by lipophosphoglycan-like structures – emerges as a major form of protein glycosylation in Leishmania. Here, Thomas Ilg reviews the chemical structure, the ultrastructure, the genes and the potential functions of different members of this novel family of parasite glycoproteins.

AbstractThe control of infection by Leishmania infantum (syn. Leishmania chagasi) in dogs is essential to stop the current spread of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis. The past few years have seen significant advances in achieving efficient immunization of dogs and, more than ever before, an effective vaccine against canine leishmaniasis can now be considered a feasible goal. This article summarizes experimental data gathered from recent dog trials aimed at identifying immunological mechanisms implicated in protection against canine infection to discuss their potential to serve as quantitative surrogate markers of immunization and, more importantly, its usefulness to evaluate whether the immunity induced by the vaccine candidate is strong enough to protect against canine leishmaniasis.

In 1985, the British pop band XTC recorded an EP of affectionate parodies of '60s psychedelia and guitar pop called 25 O'Clock. Instead of releasing the EP under their own name, they released the record under a new moniker: the Dukes of Stratosphear. Working with producer John Leckie, all three members of the group adopted pseudonyms -- Andy Partridge was Sir John Johns, Colin Moulding was the Red Curtain, and David Gregory was Lord Cornelius Plum. For this one project, Gregory's brother Ian joined the band under the name E.I.E.I. Owen. The EP was released without mention of XTC's name anywhere on the record, and the group members claimed they had nothing to do with the project. Two years after the appearance of 25 O'Clock, the Dukes of Stratosphear released a full album, Psonic Psunspot. By the time Psonic Psunspot appeared in 1987, XTC had begun to admit in interviews that they were indeed the Dukes of Stratosphear. Later in 1987, both the EP and album were released on a single compact disc, Chips from the Chocolate Fireball. XTC then resumed working under their regular name, issuing new material throughout the 1990s and early 2000s before splitting up in 2005. Four years later, expanded versions of Psonic Psunspot and 25 O'Clock appeared via Partridge's own label, Ape House Records. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Scott Diamond hasn't been performing at the level he performed at last year, where he had a stellar [for the Twins] 3.54 ERA over 173 innings pitched--but this doesn't mean he hasn't had good games. Diamond when 7 scoreless innings against the Red Sox on May 7th, and gave up only 1 earned run over 6 innings pitched against the White Sox on April 21st.
In his last start against Detroit, Diamond gave up 3 earned runs over 5.2 innings--but considering he was facing Miguel Cabrera (who promptly hit a home run in the 1st inning) and co., maybe that's not as bad as it seems. However, Diamond did give up 6 earned runs per game in his two starts before that, soooooooo...
Hopefully Diamond can right the ship today against the Brewers.
Alfredo Figaro is making a spot start for the Brewers tonight since scheduled starter Hiram Burgos hit the DL with a screwed up shoulder. Tonight will be Figaro's fifth start of his major league career, with all four of his previous starts having been for Detroit in 2009 and 2010 when the Twins were still kicking the Tigers ass. In case you were wondering, Figaro did not do particularly well either of those years, sporting an ERA over 6 in both.
So what has Figaro been doing since 2010? He's been in Japan pitching for the Orix Buffaloes! In Japan, Figaro did much better, with an ERA hovering around 3.00 and a very modest amount of strike outs. But of course, this isn't Japan.
None of the Twins players have ever faced Figaro, but hopefully things go their way tonight.

It was a classic Baltimore weekend, with lots to do and lots to deconstruct, from HONfest to the Greek Folk Festival and the crummy end of an otherwise solid homestand from the O's, and more.
I, for one, am curious to hear more stories from HONfest. We missed it this year, not because of any boycott—I'm on the fence about the whole thing, maybe because I've met Denise Whiting and really liked her—but because other plans prevailed. For everything I read, the controversy was largely absent from the proceedings. I'm curious to hear from people who went and can report back...
My son Jack, 4, and I spent the bulk of yesterday at Camden Yards, watching the Orioles lose an ugly slugfest with the Rays. Despite the loss, we had a great time—the first time, in fact, that Jack has made it until the end of a game. It helped that Kids Corner, near Gate C, has been vastly expanded this year. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say this was the first game we've made it out to this year, and I was really impressed. Besides the bouncy house and climbing/playground structure, there is now a slow-pitch batting cage, a tee-ball batting cage, and a pitching cage. (Yes, that picture is of my boy Jack and, yes, I'm taking this opportunity to show off his awesome swing). If you have kids and haven't been to the park this year, get out there! Good times!
So, what did you do this weekend?

Good health is something many of us take for granted, until we get sick. Only then are we reminded of everything it takes to get healthy again. But what if those things were out of reach? Fifty million Americans don't have access to basic healthcare or know how to get it, a driving force behind why Community HealthCorps, an AmeriCorps program, continues to grow after nearly 20 years of service.
Founded by the National Association of Community Health Centers, Community HealthCorps forms the perfect marriage between national service and public health, placing 500 AmeriCorps members directly into more than 200 community health center locations and offering high-quality health care to the nation's most underserved and isolated communities. Nearly 7,200 AmeriCorps members have contributed to Community HealthCorps' success since its inception.
National Reach, Community Focus
The Community HealthCorps experience is different for every AmeriCorps member, because each health center caters to the specific needs of the communities it serves. Yet whether they are enrolling patients into health insurance, running an after-school healthy food club...

The Wisconsin DPI VISTA Project seeks "to build capacity for family involvement in low-income schools and communities by implementing a research-based, sustainable process for partnerships." In the School District of Rhinelander, I am in the middle of a summer program which just might be my most sustainable idea thus far.

In the summer of 2006, Marco and Jennifer Chiappetta got married and settled in Washington Heights—the neighborhood they both grew up in. While taking walks together, they were saddened by the sight of local schoolyards that had been abandoned by children and occupied by troublemakers and drug users.

As with all Mumm Cuvée Napa wines, the natural ripeness of the fruit is accentuated. In appearance the wine is pale yellow with hints of gold. Very fine bubbles rise to a persistent mousse. The aromas are elegant and complex with fresh fruit aromas of red apple, lemon, orange peel and berry. A layer of freshly baked bread melds pleasingly with the fruit. The creamy texture on the palate has hints of cherries and plums, complemented by cocoa and citrus. The finish is long with nuances of plum, dried apricots and butter. Overall, the "fine line" has been walked between the balance of richness and complexity and the creation of an elegant wine. The DVX has a solid backbone of tightly knit fruit supported by a refreshing acidity which will continue to develop in the years to come.
Mumm Napa draws from the rich heritage of Champagne Mumm of Reims, France while integrating a unique Napa Valley style to make internationally respected wines of excellent quality. Ludovic Dervin carries on the inspiration that began with Guy Devaux in making Mumm Napa wines, bringing the ripe character of Napa fruit to the forefront while maintaining the classic balance and structure necessary in an outstanding sparkling wine.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

McKissick, Stackley named finalists for USA Today contest
Two Lowcountry football coaches have been named state finalists for USA Today's first Best High School Football Coach Contest.
Summerville High School coach John McKissick and Stratford High School coach Ray Stackley have both been named South Carolina finalists for the contest, the latest in the USA Today High School Sports' "Best Of" contest series.
USA Today staffers chose eight active head football coaches in each state after more than a month of conversations with local media and other state/school officials with high school football expertise. The publication is asking fans to choose the best high school football coach in the country from the list of 408 state finalists.
Voting for the contest is divided into three rounds, the first of which opened Sept. 30 at http://contest.usatodayhss.com/.
Voting for the state round ends at noon (ET) Oct. 8. The 51 winners – each state plus Washington, D.C. - advance to a regional round, where they will be divided among eight regions of six or seven coaches apiece.
The regional round begins at noon (ET) Oct. 9 and ends at noon (ET) Oct. 18. The eight regional winners move onto the national round, which starts at noon (ET) Oct. 21 and ends at noon (ET) Oct. 29.
The champion will be crowned based on most votes in the final round.
The athletic department of the winning coach will receive $2,000. Second through fifth places also receive cash prizes for the athletic departments: second ($1,000), third ($500), fourth ($250) and fifth ($100). All eight finalists receive banners for their schools.
Other South Carolina finalists for the contest are Bob Hanna (Irmo), Bobby Bentley (Byrnes), Dave Gutshall (Dorman), Jackie Hayes (Dillon), Phil Strickland (Newberry) and Tom Knotts (Dutch Fork).

Apple working on Video iPods?
By Dennis Lloyd
Publisher, iLoungeGoogle+
Published: Thursday, January 29, 2004
News Categories: iPod
"One of the best things about prognostication is the "I told you so" satisfaction of a successful forecast, so over the past five years, I've made sure to point out all of my dead-on predictions. This time, however, I'm admitting to an apparently incorrect hunch. I thought that Apple would forgo an iPod portable video player (PVP), but the company is reportedly working on one. [...]
Last month, the careers page of Apple's Web site advertised an opening for a video iPod developer. The listing has disappeared, but in this New York Times interview, Jobs mentions that someone in the company's labs could be working on such a device. He also talks about some of the same doubts and challenges that I'm discussing here, so for the record, my prediction might still come true."

I think it's too early for a video iPod. Remember the tv tuner for Sega's GameGear? Yeah, way too ahead of it's time.
Posted by Schiano on January 29, 2004 at 3:46 PM (PST)
if a video ipod comes out i will buy, but will it support divx?
Posted by dave on January 29, 2004 at 4:24 PM (PST)
A video iPod will come out in time for the Christmas season.
Personal video players are allreasy on the market, the Archo 300 and panasonics lyra are a few examples.
Yeah theres no legal way of putting content from DVDs or Tv on them but they will still be able to take off just like MP3 players did.
People are allready using Kazza and other P2P networks to download episodes of The OC, scrubs, family guy and even whole movies. So early adopters of a video iPod would get content the "old fashion way" with P2P untill a legal video on demand version of iTunes is released.
Apple has the potential to become a big player in media if they play their cards right.

I don't understand why anyone would want to watch a movie on a 3" screen. My TV is 13" and I can't stand watching movies on it.

...here we go again. More video iPod rumors. If I want to listen to music on the go then I use my iPod. Why? Because it offers the best experience. If I want to watch a movie on the go, then I use my Notebook. Why, because it offers the best experience. I really hate it when they try to cram a bunch of useless features together on one device. Why do you think new PDA sales are at an all time low? Because the average consumer uses their PDA to manage their schedules and store their contacts! Not to take pictures and/or surf the internet on a tiny little screen. Sorry, but watching a movie on a 3" screen has no appeal.

The CNET article is a laugh, I have to admit. It looks like our friend Eliot was looking for a story in all the wrong places. An LCD projector attachment? What exactly is the point of having a portable device when you need 1) a projection surface, 2) darkness, and 3) a power supply the size of a suitcase? Keep in mind that this is the same "journalist" who gave us this gem:
Posted by crush on January 29, 2004 at 5:21 PM (PST)
The point of a video iPod isn't watching movies on the 3" screen. The point is external attatchments. You'll take it to your friend's house and plug it into their TV. You'll buy a 7" monitor for your car for the kids in the backseat. You'll hook it up to the projector in the living room of your house. You'll hook it up to special glasses (well, eventually) on an airplane.

Okay, heres what I'm thinking.
NO. I really like Apple, but this, i refuse to support. Why do i need a portable video player? I wouldn't even be able to use it most places anyways….

WHy are people so stuck on movies. People will fill their PVPs with movies yeah sure, but also with short clips: music videos, paris hilton quickies, stupid sight gags.
I know because that's what my Archos is already filled with.

I'm not trying to be an ### here, I'm just really curious, but when do you watch videos (movies, or short clips) through your Archos?
Posted by Schiano on January 29, 2004 at 6:59 PM (PST)
I'm suprised and pleased that nobody has been saying how RCA Lyra and that Archos thing have been on the market for a long time now.
If these players are truly so great, then that begs the question: how come iPod is the most popular, and these devices still relatively unheard of?

Sraphim, not everyone has the money and marketing power to advertise their product everywhere and anywhere.
Posted by Schiano on January 29, 2004 at 7:17 PM (PST)
There were mp3 players years before the iPod - they were mostly bought by early adopters. Apple was one of the first to market them to the great unwashed, techno illiterate masses. That of course is one reason why the iPod is so easy to use - it is not burdened down by extra features of choices and rarely challenges its users with hostile interfaces or excess UI.
I expect it's a similar thing with PVPs. They've been out for a couple of years. The first ones, Archos I believe, were not easy to use and had very small screens. I think for PVPs the screen is like disk size for mp3 players. When screens were 1.5", nobody except techno nerds cared. It's curently only the very early adopters who have PVPs.
Now the current 2nd-generation PVPs at last have decent, rapid TFT LCDs measuring 3-4". They are really good to look at. But they are still a chore to use and beyond what most casual users would expect.
So Apple is probably going to jump in - bulk up iMovie and iPhoto to work flawlessly and idiot-proof with the video iPod, then release them in one go. Without iTunes, the iPod wouldn't really work very well, after all. Same thing with a planned video iPod.
I think Apple needs to hurry. Creative showed their WIndows-based PVP at CES and it got rave reviews. Apparently its UI is pretty simple - easier than the Archos and much quicker than the Lyra. I have no doubt, though,that when Apple gets around to releasing its video solution it will be trivially easy to use and surprisingly impressive.
It's a question of timing - Apple wants to milk the current mini iPod for all its worth, I give it 6 months or so. Bringing out a video-enabled iPod will put downward price pressure on their whole line, so they won't do it until sales start flagging again.
Posted by buggles on January 29, 2004 at 9:37 PM (PST)
I am all for the idea. Many times I'll be using my iPod & would like to watch a movie while waiting at the DMV or in the car. If u don't like it, don't get it. That said, Apple needs to still support the old simple iPod as well as the new video iPod. I would buy it if they keep it under the $600 price mark.
Posted by Lqv2015 on January 29, 2004 at 9:50 PM (PST)
I bought an iPod so that I can listen to my whole music collection in the car, during the commute on my bike, while walking, etc. Two things implied by this; (1) I can concentrate on other things, and; (2) I enjoy listening to the same songs ad infinitum.
Anyone with sense will understand, with reference to the points above, that a portable movie player is something that I can quite happily live without.
LCD colour screens use a lot of power. Given the battery life of the iPod, you will only be able to watch the first half your favourite film. But, you won't care, because you have already seen it X amount of times.

Yawn. Boring!
I will watch my television and movies on my 36" TV thank you very much. I have no need to watch TV/Movies all the time. I have a Gameboy Advance SP for my video needs on the go.
Posted by Dr_Cogent on January 30, 2004 at 3:26 AM (PST)
A video iPod - I wouldn't buy it.
This rumor doesn't really fit Apple - they are known for good-qualitiy devices, what would a small videoPod provide, that a PDA or a notebook wouldn't?
I guess they have someone working on it in their labs, but that doesn't necessarily mean they gonna sell it.
Posted by Obi-Lan on January 30, 2004 at 3:45 AM (PST)
First, I'm a filmmaker and I think it's a fantastic idea to have a video iPod I can show people trailers or clips from films of mine. It'd be a lot better than lugging demo video cds around. Additionally I already use my iPod to show people clips of music I create for movies anyway.
Secondly, Apple is big on its iLife suite, with Garage Band filling in the "consumer level audio production" corner, so it's a great idea to have a portable device that is basically "iLife to go." In other words you've got your music from iTunes and Garage Band, your iPhoto library, and home movies that were created in iMovie. I don't quite know how iDVD would fit into the picture, but hey, it's a start

3 of 12 from X-37B: The space plane of mystery (pictures)
Like the space shuttles, the X-37B is meant to be reusable, and that's one of the biggest attractions. Presumably much cheaper to operate than the shuttles, a fleet of X-37B space planes could conceivably dash to and from orbit on relatively short notice as the need arises, and also linger on target indefinitely. (Wired's Danger Room blog has a good in-depth look at the development and use of the X-37B here.)

UNIVERSITY?PARK -The Jamestown Jammers scored the go-ahead run in the 10th inning after scoring the tying run with two outs in the ninth Friday to deal a heartbreaking loss to the State College Spikes, 2-1, at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
Jeremy Synan's fly ball to left field in the ninth went into and out of the glove of State College (11-47) left fielder Matt Payne, allowing Paul Gran to score to tie the game.
In the 10th, Justin Bass singled with one out, followed by a Kevin Mattison single. Gran then drove in the game-winning run with a sacrifice fly to right scoring Bass.
The Spikes had taken the lead, 1-0, when walks to Butch Biela and Chad Rice set up Payne.
Jammers shortstop Joel Staples then pulled first baseman Ben Lasater off the bag with his throw, enabling Payne to reach base and Biela to score.
The loss was the 11th in a row for the Spikes, of which eight have been by a single run.
State College has also dropped its last 11 one-run games on the year.
Wayman Gooch (2-0) picked up the win for Jamestown with two innings of hitless, scoreless relief.
Gooch allowed two walks and struck out three on the evening.
Jared Yecker allowed a two-out base hit to Jeremy Farrell in the 10th, but still got his seventh save in seven opportunities by getting the third out one batter later.
Farrell ended the game 3-for-5, accounting for half of the Spikes' six hits.

For J. Robert Hayes, a competitive shooter and owner of The Gun Shop in El Centro, business is booming. "Look at my case," he said, gesturing at a display case that was nearly empty. "These racks are normally full," he said, pointing at a rack behind him that holds shotguns.
"I have a waiting list for guns," he added. "Threats of restrictions run sales through the roof."
The restrictions that Hayes is referring to are in the gun control proposal that President Obama unveiled Wednesday in response to December's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, in which an assailant fatally shot 20 students and six adults before committing suicide by shooting himself in his head.
Obama's proposal requires criminal background checks for nearly all gun sales, a ban on armor-piercing bullets, a 10-round limit on magazines and a tougher assault-weapon ban.
Hayes does not believe that increasing gun control will reduce or prevent violence like school shootings.
"We've got a cancer in our society: violence," Hayes said, warming up to the subject. "Gun control is a placebo. Good, honest people are deluded into thinking that something is being done, but nothing is being done."
Hayes said that California had a ban on assault weapons under the Clinton administration, and "we still had kids dying. We need to look at reasons why guns are being used."
Hayes' believes that the media — by publicizing the names of school shooters and mass murderers — helps perpetuate a cycle of violence.
"By publishing and pushing the names of these psychopaths, you're enabling the next idiot to get his name in the press. Denying them their name in print removes their incentives (to commit violent crimes)."
Hayes said he would like to see stiffer penalties for crimes committed with the aid of a firearm.
He favors background checks on gun buyers — mandatory in California —as long as the data is not used to track gun owners.
"I will support background checks 100 percent as long as it is used to check and then purged," he said.
As for the proposal to ban high-capacity magazines, those that carry more than 10 rounds, Hayes' response was to demonstrate the ease with which someone can squeeze off 10 rounds, change magazines and shoot another 10 rounds, over and over.
Albert Salgado, a Calexico resident, is another lifelong gun enthusiast and competitive shooter. He said he does not hunt, nor does he like to kill animals. He said he does not have issues with gun control — in theory.
"On background checks — I agree," he said. "California has it.
As for armor-piercing bullets, "nobody has a need for that." Obama's proposal calls for a ban on armor-piercing rounds except for law enforcement officials.
Like Hayes, Salgado said that gun control efforts will likely be futile.
"Some nut is watching all this stuff on TV, and he's going to say 'I can do better than that' and get a gun on the black market."
Imperial Police Chief Miguel Colon dismissed Obama's gun control proposal.
"It's all politics," he said. "Every recommendation he has made is a repeat of what's been done in the past. He talked about gun control but not the culture war with violence in our country."
Colon called Obama's gun control proposal a kneejerk reaction to a tragedy and does not address the factors that may lead to violent crimes.
"What we really need is an honest conversation about why this country is so violent, and it has nothing to do with guns," he said, noting that firearms have been treated as tools as far back as the nation's founding. "From the 1920s on it became an issue with gangsters," he added.
Staff Writer Antoine Abou-Diwan can be reached at 760-337-3454 or email@example.com
President Obama's gun control proposal includes a number of actions for Congress to vote on. Some of these include
1 - A stronger ban on assault weapons
2 - A ban on the possession of armor-piercing rounds
3 - A 10-bullet limit on gun magazines
4 - Mandatory criminal background checks for all gun buyers

Does anyone have any advice on how to get the game on DirecTV in Minneapolis? The local flavor of FSN (Channel 668) has Wild Live scheduled with a Wild game starting at 7:00 pm. In the past, there has usually been a work around channel on some unknown and usually blocked channel. There haven't been enough games this season to establish what channel it will be this year. Anyone have a guess? Channel 686 is Fox Sports Arizona, which is scheduled to have the game, but I doubt that will be the one that becomes available when game time comes around. Its certainly blocked right now.
Just grab the Sports Pack like I did...listed online on my account for only $7/month right now for some reason (usually $12.99 I think), and it'll definitely be on other FSN channels.

June 1, 2010
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which operates the Municipal Railway (Muni), unveiled two refurbished "like new" buses that are part of the $12.6 million contract to rehabilitate 62 Neoplan buses.
The contract, awarded in September, is part of the Motor Coach Component Life Cycle Project, which allocates a total of $16 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) economic stimulus funding to directly improve vehicle availability, service reliability and performance by rehabilitating 35 standard (40-foot) and 27 articulated (60-foot) Muni buses.
The buses, one of each length, are currently being inspected by SFMTA personnel in order to ensure that all issues are addressed and that the rehabilitation of the remaining 60 vehicles is done correctly by Riverside, Calif-based Complete Coach Works.
The Motor Coach Component Life Cycle Rehabilitation Project, using $16 million in ARRA funding, will allow for the mid-life overhaul of 62 Neoplan high floor diesel coaches, approximately 20 percent of the SFMTA Neoplan fleet. By replacing critical sub-systems that include the propulsion system, cooling system, pneumatic system, suspension system and doors, improved service levels will be achieved and the mean distance between failures will be increased, according to the SFMTA. Other corrective maintenance work such as body and understructure repair and reinforcement will also be implemented.
In the past year, the SFMTA has advanced key capital projects and aggressive preventive maintenance programs to ensure the integrity of the Muni system. Many of these state-of-good-repair advancements were enabled by $71 million in ARRA transit funds awarded by the Obama Administration.

Also, you may be asked to supply additional or supplementary information to our office.Our office will review an electronic version of your SAR to see if additional or supplementary information is needed. If additional information is needed, a letter along with the necessary forms will be sent to you through the mail.
For information about applying for scholarships, go to the Scholarships page.
After your FAFSA application is complete, our office will determine your award eligibility. Awards are based on an established cost of attendance (COA) and your expected family contribution (EFC).

More Studies Find Working Moms Happier, Healthier Than At-Home
Experience less depression, anger
A recent study has revealed that moms who go to back to work within weeks of giving birth had "more energy, mobility, and less depression by age 40" than those who spend months or years at home. The research, conducted by University of Akron and Penn State University, comes on the heels of a Gallup study in May which found that stay-at-home mothers were more likely to experience stress, worry, anger and sadness. Also, the British Journal of Epidemiology ad Community Health reported that stay-at-home moms were more likely to be obese (38 percent) than were those who juggled children, a steady relationship and a paycheck (23 percent). Lastly, the Journal of Family Psychology in the U.S. discovered, after a 10-year-long study, that mothers who held a paying job were in better health in general, and less depressed in particular, than those who did not.

Regency 1 Theatre
210 S. Brand Boulevard,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 3 comments
I worked there a few times under PT when it was Regency 1
Sad that all these theatres all got converted or destroyed
Every one of them on Brand Blvd
The Regency 2 was a few doors down the block, listed here as the Temple Theatre, its early name. The Sands became the Regency 1 and the neighboring U.S./Temple became Regency 2.
Here's its neighbor, the U.S. (formerly Temple), which became the Regency 2
And here's the Facebook page for the banquet hall that's in place of the Regency 1/Sands now.
The zoning info claims it was built in 1962, so the current 1920s look would probably be a newly-added retro look, rather than an original façade that's been uncovered. It's still laid out inside with a "lobby" area with two sets of double doors into the main hall.
Was this also called Regency 2?
Open from 1989-1996?

A prayer for strength, courage, determination and God�s speed. The Canadian national anthem. The American national anthem. And then the air horn pierced the Sunday morning air at 6:58 prompting disabled cyclists to roll, kicking off the 2013 Detroit Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon.
They were riding on wheels instead of running shoes, but competitors in the Athletes With Disabilities division were determined to cover the 26.2 miles of the Detroit Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon.
About 35 marathoners in today's Free Press event were pedaling hand cycles and three in racing wheelchairs, according to a count of those lined who lined up for the 6:58 a.m. start.
A whopping record 27, 223 runners, walkers and disabled cyclists took to the streets of Detroit, some bound for Canada as well, to bring months of training to a victorious conclusion.
In the front row of the race was Tom Davis, 36, of Fremont, Ind., last year's winner.
Davis, one of 21 members of the General Motors-sponsored Achilles Freedom Team of U.S. military veterans, said he lost his left leg in 2006 to a buried bomb in Iraq.
Can he repeat as winner of his second Free Press marathon?
�We'll find out,� Davis said, seconds before the starting horn sounded.
Sunday�s marathon was the 8th for hand cyclist Travis Peruski, 34, of Linden, who was paralyzed after a car accident July 21, 2001. Two years later he competed in his first marathon.
�I love it,� said Peruski, one of 18 hand cyclists. �The scenery, the camaraderie of the others. It�s nice to be able to participate. Some races don�t allow the disabled. I don�t know why. But this allows us to be part of something big.�
Scott Rolfson, 35, and his fianc�, Katherine Skoleski, 30, both of Toronto are doing their first half-marathon together, though he has done at least 25 such runs.
The couple makes a Detroit visit at least an annual outing and this year they decided to combine the marathon and a Lions game.
�We thought we�d kill two birds with one stone,� said Rolfson, who plans to run the Boston marathon in April.
The couple says running gives them time together and helps keep them in shape.
�We both lead very busy lives so running is really good for us,� said Rolfson who�s a chef at a Toronto restaurant chain called Earls. She�s a flight attendant for Westjet.
For many participants the marathon brings friends and co-workers together to accomplish a goal.
Kristen Campbell, 47, Stephene Martin, 43, and Ella Bulin, 46, all work together at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Detroit. Campbell and Martin are nurses; Bulin is a social worker. They�re doing a walking-running version of the international half marathon.
�Last year I couldn�t run a mile,� said Campbell of Ypsilanti. �We decided to get in the marathon for health improvements.�
Rae-Anne Sutton, 39, of Barrie, Canada, an elementary school teacher shared the goal of many:
�Just to cross the finish line,� she said.
The Free Press event, begun in 1978, has a long history of welcoming athletes with physical challenges, registering dozens of wheelchair racers annually in the years before hand cycles came on the scene about a decade ago. Today's event also includes sight-impaired runners and walkers who cover the miles accompanied by well-conditioned guides.
