Barn Elms "super sewer" threat ends in victory for campaigners
5:30pm Monday 19th November 2012 in News
The campaign to save Barn Elms playing fields from seven years of misery has ended in victory.
Thames Water has published final proposals for a £4.1bn cross London The Thames Tideway Tunnel, dubbed "the super sewer" which avoid Barn Elms in favour of a brownfield industrial site in Carnwath Road, in Fulham.
A spokesman for Wandsworth Council said: "Wandsworth Council and its Save Barn Elms Alliance partners mounted a fierce campaign to protect these popular playing fields after they were identified as the preferred location for a giant tunnelling compound in the scheme's original plans."
The tunnel project is vital to cleaning up the River Thames, which is polluted by discharges of raw sewage from London's over-burdened Victorian sewers.
In a typical year, 39m tonnes of untreated sewage flushes into the Thames - enough to fill the Royal Albert Hall 450 times.

There is no doubt that this project will bring misery wherever it goes however I personally feel that the Barn Elms site is more feasible than the Carnwath Road site.
Fulham is a much more densely populated area. Unlike Barnes, people will need to be re-housed, school children will be exposed to the pollution and the traffic chaos will be much worse in the Fulham/Wandsworth area.

'View From The Corridor'
Wednesday, 18th February 2009
London. Brit Awards, Earls Court.
A little known aspect of big TV awards shows is the disproportionate amount of time spent hanging around in corridors. They actually build extra corridors especially for the event, to maximise the corridor-hanging opportunities. There's a simple reason - a regular gig comes with a huge quantity of rooms available for band dressing rooms, hospitality, offices, crew rooms, you name it. However, when 30 acts are sharing a venue with the massive production team required to stage one of these events, the available space shrinks to almost nothing. Consequently, the producers build an entire 'farm' of office-cubicle-like rooms backstage, which becomes a hive of temporary dressing rooms. U2 had two rooms; a lounge room and a smaller changing room. The rest of our touring party is welcome to use them too, but clearly there are long periods of time when we want to give the band some space. In the absence of anywhere else to go we end up… hanging in the corridor.
The corridor-view does provide an interesting perspective, though. The overall ambience of the multi-corridored dressing room area is that of a very well attended 'festival of doors'. There are doors everywhere, accompanied by oversized signage indicating who might be slumped on a rented couch behind the potted palms within. We were opposite Duffy's room, then further down the corridor were Girls Aloud, with Kings of Leon round the corner, Pet Shop Boys a little further afield, and so on. It's busy too, as people come and go to the stage, to the make-up room, or catering, or the spiffed up port-a-loos. Sitting on the floor, laptop on knees, gets to be like a real life version of flipping through Hello! magazine. Coldplay pottering about, the girls from All Saints coming to visit, Kylie charming as ever. When James Corden and Matt Horne went by, both wearing red mini-dresses and thigh-length black vinyl boots I began to wonder quite where I was.
U2 were on first which is always a bonus - a little like getting your homework done on Friday night so you have the rest of the weekend to play. It went well, looked good in the truck and Gavin Friday texted in to say he thought it came over well on the telly. We returned to the dressing room for a lower-case moment of celebration then relaxed into the rest of the evening. News came in of a five star album review from Rolling Stone ... we're only a week or so away from release.

London/Paris/London. Recce for "Le Grand Journal" at Canal +, TV Studios.
Steve from management, Jake our production manager and I rendezvoused at St. Pancras railway station at the unholy hour of 8am to get the train to Paris. For reasons which never became apparent, despite making the booking at one time, we were seated all three separately, Jake in an entirely different carriage, which had me pondering train travel as a metaphor for life. On arrival, we headed for the TV studios of the 'Canal +' station and found our way to the studio of "Le Grand Journal" culture show.
We were met by the producers, director and technicians from the show, all of whom were extremely helpful. We figured out how the stage layout would be placed and I ran through the few basic points which I have learned to offer up as a guide to what works when shooting U2 for live television. It's a simple approach, which allows a good deal of local interpretation, so most TV stations appreciate the direction.
We were in and out of there in under an hour. It seems like a long way to come for a brief meeting, but even in these days of cellphone videoconferencing, there's still nothing quite so useful as a look at the space and a face to face chat. Jake headed for Charles de Gaulle airport to head on to Berlin to load in our equipment for the Echo awards rehearsal tomorrow, whilst Steve and I headed back to the Gare du Nord where we just managed to miss the 14.30 train. The next one wasn't until 16.30pm so we were forced to retire to the highly acceptable Terminus du Nord restaurant for a splendid white tablecloth lunch.
Back in London I had an evening engagement to see 'Avenue Q' at the Noel Coward theatre on St. Martin's Lane. It's a musical featuring depraved muppets and a great deal of very adult humour. I've never been a great fan of anything involving puppetry, but despite being such strange concept it was pretty entertaining all the same.

Le Grand Journal
Living in France I was fortunate enough to catch the broadcast on Le Grand Journal as it went out on Monday evening. There's a real excitement here (as pretty much everywhere!) about the new album, something which came across well on Monday's show. Great to read about this (and more) from a behind-the-scenes perspective, so kudos and appreciation to Willie for taking time out to write these journal entries.Thanks, John

Great to get a really down to earth perspective on what goes on behind the scenes at these things. Sometimes I think we tend to think that the band just show up and do their thing!

Thank you Willie! I have been reading your post for a good 7 years now and they are always insightful, witty and compelling- even the ones about haircuts and laundry. Thanks for taking us "behind the curtain" and giving us a glimpse of life on the road with U2. PS. I've seen 42 U2 shows- staring with the Unforgettable Fire Tour.

Amarillo, TX -- One drug manufacturer is putting its profits ahead of public health, according to pharmacies around the nation.
Makena is the brand name of progesterone, a widely-used drug that lowers the chances of premature birth for pregnant women who may be at risk for it - and now the manufacturer is suing states to accept its $1500-a-dose price tag.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved Makena, and that's when KV Pharmaceutical, the drug's marketer, set a price tag that some say is astronomical.
Compounding pharmacies make a generic version of the drug for less than twenty dollars a dose, but drugs that have FDA approval are generally more widely prescribed.
A statement on Makena's website said "... compounded drugs may present risks to patients because they have not been evaluated for safety and effectiveness by the FDA, or if they have been improperly compounded."
Pharmacists say KV is leveraging Makena's FDA backing to force an unfair price on patients and monopolize the market, as Robin Johnson of King's Compounding Pharmacy in Amarillo says,
"We can all come to our own conclusion: whether a $17.20 injection provided by somebody that you know and you trust; that would be compared to a $1500 injection by somebody else who used data that they obtained from us to say that their product is better than ours."
The day after KV announced the cost, the March of Dimes immediately ended their relationship, saying KV was putting its bottom line ahead of the two entities' stated goal of saving premature babies.
So far, KV has sued three states to offer and pay for Makena through Medicaid - Illinois, South Carolina, and Georgia.
KV has not yet filed suit in Texas, but says the state's Medicaid policy is unacceptable.
The $1500 number was based on the average hospital bill for the care of a premature baby - which is thirty thousand dollars.
And progesterone is generally given over about twenty doses, so it works out to thirty thousand.
If you'd like to see the FDA analysis of Makena or learn more about the controversy surrounding it, follow the links attached to this story.

GreenChill has recognized several New Jersey and New York supermarket chains for their efforts in moving toward sustainability goals. The GreenChill partners take action meeting refrigerant objectives, eliminating leaks, and adopting green technology and practices.
"Global Warming is the most serious problem facing the planet," said Regional Administrator Judith Enck. "Every business has an essential role to play in reducing greenhouse gas pollution. I applaud these businesses that have gone the extra mile and are leading the way."
The EPA estimates that if GreenChill averages could be attained nationwide, the industry would eliminate the equivalent of 22,000,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, the equivalent of removing almost 4,000,000 cars from the road.
GreenChill has a total of 50 partners, comprising of 5,500 stores in 48 states. For more on the economic and environmental benefits of GreenChill partnerships, visit the official EPA GreenChill website.

The former Clackamas County elections worker accused of tampering with ballots said her actions were not intentional.
Deanna Swenson, 55, broke down in tears while she discussed the case at her attorney's Tigard office.
"I'm so sorry," she said. "And I'm concerned for my health and well-being, as this is not part of my character. It was not an intentional act."
Swenson, who lives in Oregon City, said she had worked in the Clackamas County elections office for 15 years. She described processing ballots while sitting at a table with co-workers when one stopped her.
"I don't remember," she said. "When my co-worker pulled my paper from my hand. That's when I realized … what I'm being charged for."
Swenson was removed from her position processing ballots after a co-worker reported seeing her fill-in empty spaces on ballots on Oct. 31.
The Secretary of State's Office identified six ballots that were altered to cast votes for Republican candidates.
Following a Department of Justice investigation, a Clackamas County grand jury indicted Swenson on two counts of unlawfully altering a cast ballot and two counts of unlawfully voting once, all felonies. She was also indicted on two misdemeanor counts of official misconduct.
Investigators found no evidence others were involved.
Jason Short, Swenson's attorney, denied Swenson, a registered Republican, was plotting to get Republicans election.
He said he and Swenson have questions about the motivation for her actions.
"I think there are some legitimate mental health issues that we will be looking into with regards to what happened at the time of this event," said Short, adding he plans to have doctors and mental health experts evaluate his client.
Secretary of State Kate Brown said she wanted Swenson prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
"This is not to be tolerated. We have a zero tolerance policy for this type of action," said Brown.
Each felony county Swenson faces carries a possible sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $125,000. Each misdemeanor count she faces carries a possible sentence of up to one year in jail and a fine of $6,250.
Swenson will be arraigned Dec. 4.
Despite the allegations of tampering, no votes were impacted, said Brown.

BUV under investigation; employee claims suspicious financial activities
The Bristol Virginia Utilities Authority is now under investigation by the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Here's what we can tell you tonight.
Commonwealth's Attorney, Nicole Price tells News Five she was contacted by an individual within BVU who gave her credible information about suspicious financial activities. She says she then contacted the Sheriff's Office and started a criminal investigation.
When we asked Price if the investigation was related to former CEO Wes Rosenbalm, she said the investigation is not focusing on any particular person.
We spoke with BVU interim CEO Mike Bundy who says it would be inappropriate to comment on an active investigation.

Hey I know this don't go here (maybe it can be placed were it's suppose to be place) Where can I find free host site to post my pictures?? I have a couple of small problems with or how my Cub hitch bar mounts on how they should mount and I wanted to link them here so you all could give me some more of that excellent advice. I have a weird looking backet that mounts to each of the axel housing, to be completly honest......I have no clue on how they came off and it they go back on, how on earth do they not come back off? Someone else must have thought the same thing, because they had washers welded on top of the bolt hole slots.
My ISP SBC/Yahoo DSL must not offer any picture hosting, I am guessing and I have tried a couple others so called "FREE" sites but with very little luck.........I use to link them to my web page, but they wanted me to buy more bandwidth, Not me, I'm a tight wad, ok just poor!
Thanks in advance,
John Niekamp
I am playing with picture size, trying to figure out the best size for posting.
OK, new image host and a picture of the hitch bracket. I "think" the washer that has been welded on on both side, should not be there. from what I remember when I took everything off a few months ago the bracket shown was mounted to the housing first, then the mower lift arm brackets were on top of these. THEN AGAIN, I can't remember, can any of you guys help me out. REMEMBER when I first brought this tractor home the rear of the angle iron shown in the second picture was supported by chains up to the fender, because the axel housing bolts were stripped out. One hell of a way to make things work.......Now with the bolts holes repaired I am ready to bring this project to an end!!!! FINIALLY
Have only been up and down the driveway and already had my first flat on brand new tires, at least it was only one of the fronts.
PS: Pay no attention to the imposter in the background in the first picture OR the little slight trace of green and yellow in the second picture.
NOTICE: that I have placed decals on the hood of a 55 Cub, but I have not been able to locate the original emblems, at a reasonable price, SO until then these will have to make due.

More than a quarter of white high school girls and close to a quarter of young adults use tanning salons – even though there's no good reason to use one and they raise the rates of skin cancer and wrinkles, federal health experts reported on Monday.
And more than 15 percent of these young women are using tanning salons 10 times or more a year, despite strong advice against doing so, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
While some states are considering legislation to limit the availability of tanning salons, the better long-term solution would be to change a culture that worships tanned skin, instead valuing a range of skin tones, the CDC says.
"We need to encourage young women to embrace their natural, untanned skin colors," says Gery Guy of the CDC's division of cancer control, who led the research.
Guy's team looked at surveys of high school students and young adults from 2010 and 2011, which cover tens of thousands of people interviewed in depth.
"Among non-Hispanic white female high school students, 29.3 percent engaged in indoor tanning and 16.7 percent engaged in frequent indoor tanning during the previous 12 months," they wrote. "Among non-Hispanic white women aged 18-34 years, 24.9 percent engaged in indoor tanning and 15.1 percent engaged in frequent indoor tanning during the previous 12 months."
That's even though people who use indoor tanning treatments raise their risk of melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – by 59 to 75 percent. People who use tanning booths or lights before they are 25 raise the risk by as much as 100 percent.
"This widespread use is of great concern given the elevated risk of skin cancer among younger users and frequent users," Guy's team wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association's journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Melanoma kills more than 9,000 Americans a year.
"This is the first study where we actually pinpointed this population to get a better understanding," Guy said in a telephone interview.
Young women and girls still believe, wrongly, that they can get a "base" tan to protect themselves from burning, Guy says. "It provides very little, if any, protection," he said. But usually they are simply trying to look better.
"People indoor tan, I think, for cosmetic reasons, whether it's for special events like the prom or homecoming,or before they go on vacation," Guy said.
"I think behaviors are driven in part by social norms that put value on physical appearance," he added. And there's no immediate bad effect, so tanners can fool themselves into thinking it's harmless. "The more harmful effects of indoor tanning – wrinkles, spots and even skin cancer -- don't even come onto effect for years," Guy said.
The 2010 health reform law tries to discourage tanning with a 10 percent excise tax on salons. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 33 states regulate the use of tanning facilities by minors. California and Vermont ban their use by anyone under 18.

The U.S. Naval Academy on Wednesday charged three midshipmen -- all current or former football players -- with sexually assaulting a female student at an off-campus house in Annapolis more than a year ago.
The academy said in a news release that the male midshipmen are being charged with two violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. One charge involves rape, sexual assault or other sexual misconduct. The other is for making a false official statement.
The academy did not identify the three male students, and it was not immediately clear if they have an attorney.
Two of the students were football players this past season, but they are not on the team anymore. Another is still on the team, but he has been suspended pending the outcome of the case.
"The case is still in the pre-trial phase, so any further comment on this ongoing investigation would be inappropriate," Cmdr. John Schofield, an academy spokesman, said in a statement.
The case has brought renewed focus to how the nation's military academies handle reports of sexual assaults. The service academies have struggled for years with sexual assault and harassment allegations, and a string of sexual assault cases has recently drawn attention in Congress and at the Pentagon and The White House. Many of the assault cases involve alcohol.
President Barack Obama addressed the sexual assault problem when he spoke at the academy's commissioning ceremony last month. The president said those who commit sexual assault threaten the trust and discipline that make the military strong.
The alleged assault occurred in April 2012. The woman's attorney, Susan Burke, has said the woman woke up with bruises after a night of heavy drinking and later learned from friends and social media that three football players she considered friends were claiming to have had sex with her while she was intoxicated and blacked out.
"My client and I are cautiously optimistic that justice will finally prevail in this case," Burke said in a statement Wednesday. "Even if this case is successfully prosecuted, the larger problem remains: rape cases in the military are controlled by untrained and biased commanders whose career interests may be served by covering up incidents like this one. The Naval Academy's handling of this case raises troubling questions about how the victim and the football players were treated. This case reflects why rape victims are fearful and skeptical of the military justice system."
Burke has noted that the academy closed an investigation into the same allegations last year without charges.
The woman reported the allegations to Navy criminal investigators and was disciplined for drinking while the athletes, one of whom discouraged her from cooperating, were permitted to continue playing, Burke has said. The female midshipman remains a student in good standing.
The Navy agreed to reopen the investigation this year after the woman sought legal help, Burke said. The new investigation involved wiretapped conversations that Burke said further substantiated her client's account.
Burke said the scheduled graduation of one of the three students was put on hold because of the allegations, while the other two were not scheduled to graduate this year.
The academy announced on Monday that Vice Adm. Michael Miller, the academy's superintendent, had decided to forward the case to Article 32 proceedings, which are held to determine if there is enough evidence for a court-marital.
Schofield said earlier this week that the initial Naval Criminal Investigative Service investigation into the case had been completed and reviewed.
U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski recently wrote to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that she is "deeply troubled by the lackluster response from the superintendents to increasing rates of sexual assault within their academies."
Mikulski, D-Md., is a member of the U.S. Naval Academy's Board of Visitors, which acts as a board of trustees for the Annapolis military college.
"If we are going to end sexual assault in the military, we must start by changing the culture in the service academies where future leaders are created," Mikulski wrote.
Other Navy football players have faced assault allegations in the past.
In 2006, Lamar Owens Jr., the team's starting quarterback, was acquitted of rape but found guilty of lesser charges in a military court. He was expelled from the school. Another one-time member of the team, Kenny Ray Morrison, was convicted in 2007 of sexually assaulting a female classmate at a Washington hotel. He was sentenced to two years in the Navy brig.
By BRIAN WITTE Associated Press
Statement from CDR John Schofield, Public Affairs Officer, United States Naval Academy:
On Wednesday, June 19, the U.S. Naval Academy preferred charges against three male midshipmen for violating two articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The accused are charged with Articles 107 (false official statement) and 120 (rape, sexual assault, other sexual misconduct). This case is still in the pre-trial phase, so any further comment on this ongoing investigation would be inappropriate.
Midshipmen, like other members of the military, are subject to military law contained in the UCMJ, a federal statute. These charges are accusations, and the accused midshipmen are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The charges are based upon an investigation conducted by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. The results of that investigation were provided to the Naval Academy Superintendent, who then made the decision to formally charge the accused and also to refer the matter for further investigation under Article 32 of the UCMJ.

Virginia Local Information and Area Highlights
Travel to Virginia / Virginia Vacation Rentals
An outdoor paradise, United States history, and the edges of Washington DC…that's a taste of Virginia. Your Virginia vacation rental is likely to be just as flavorful.
- What more help planning your vacation? Read our full Virginia Travel Guide!
Virginia History
As the saying goes, Virginia is for lovers…of history? Virginia has an overabundance of history from the mountains to the beach resorts, so enjoy it fully as a significant part of your vacation. Captain John Smith and Pocahontas are part of the early settler movement, and there is plenty of Revolutionary War and United States forefathers' history in Virginia. Virginia was also instrumental in the Civil War. Maritime history is popular in places like Newport News, along the historic Chesapeake Bay. You may never find that a history lesson can be so fun as in Virginia. Some of the Virginia vacation rentals listed here have just as great a story to tell as the surrounding monuments and architecture!
Virginia Vacation Spots
The western edge of Virginia is called the Heart of Appalachia, steeped in natural wonder. Burke's Garden is a very fertile valley on top of a mountain. Whitewater rafting is popular on the Russell Fork River through the "Grand Canyon of the South" in Breaks Interstate Park. Limestone in formations is greatly viewable by Natural Tunnel State Park via chairlift. The vacation cabin rentals in Virginia found here are a favorite.
The Blue Ridge Highlands burst with natural beauty and beckon for outdoor lovers. In Blacksburg, visit the Virginia Tech Geological Sciences Museum. The birthplace of country music is Bristol, a shared community with Tennessee. Oldetown in Wyethville has restored building residences, a number from before 1830.
The Shenandoah Valley is 200 miles long of scenic views, and driving is one way to experience it – through paths like Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Golf courses are scattered all around the region for another kind of driving enjoyment. Take another drive to tour the Battle of Front Royal historic area from the Civil War. Enjoy the prominent star structure in Roanoke, and take in some festivals in this "festival city," whether it's a cook-off or nature festival. In fact, the region is known for art and crarft fairs.
Central Virginia is steeped in history, ranging from early settlers, to the birth of the U.S., to Civil War, and African-American Capitalism. Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville is a must-see, as is James Monroe's Montpelier. See the Museum and White House of the Confederacy up close, and reap educational benefit at the Black History Museum & Cultural Center. Richmond is an eclectic collection of neighborhoods filled with history and old and new culture. Explore the Blackwater Creek Bikeway & Riverwalk in Lynchburg. A Central Virginia vacation just might be a history buff's dream come true!
Northern Virginia blends deep Virginia history with classy suburban character. A plethora of activities exists on the bustling outskirts of Washington DC. There's fun Alexandria, where Old Town is juxtaposed with an otolaryngology museum. Shop at the large Tysons Corner Mall in McLean. Great history can be discovered at the Manassas Museum. Visit Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, complete with substantial formal gardens, and Fredricksburg's historical sites. Lake Anna provides outdoor recreation
The Chesapeake Bay region provides a more restful pace as a water-based area. The Northern Neck area has a number of fishing charters, paddle tours, canoe and kayak rentals. You can cruise to see fishing villages or just up the Rappahannock River to a winery. While you're visiting, be sure to stop at the restored house of the George Washington Birthplace National Monument. Antique shopping is also popular, especially in Tappahannock. Dine on some local fare; you'll want to try a crab dish.
The Tidewater/Hampton Roads region is a well-known vacation destination. Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown form a "Historic Triangle" which also has all the trappings of a fun resort area – plenty of shopping, dining, and golf. Newport News and Hampton combines history and military with a full complement of activities. Virginia Beach has exciting nightlife, and dolphin watching, along with all of the beach pleasures; even the East Coast Surfing Championships are held here.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia carries the reputation for an outdoor playground amongst quiet towns and fishing villages. Chincoteague has an abundance of crabbing, clamming, and fishing, as well as fine places to hike or take a bike. No vehicles are allowed on Tangier Island; the closest you'll get to a vehicle is a golf cart. Birdwatching is popular in this region.
If learning about history isn't your favorite pastime, consider Virginia Beach vacation rentals. Virginia Beach vacation rentals really take the cake as far as beach homes go; if you think the coast is a more of a must-see than a museum, a beach house is your best bet! But that's what makes Virginia vacation rentals so great. You have so many choices! You could be looking for luxurious villas, beach condos, or vacation cabin rentals in Virginia -- no matter what your tastes, you will find awesome accommodations right here.

I liked the takeaways from the Golden House, but they have rarely been very busy the last few times I was in there, and I guess that they were too close to the restaurants in Jewry Street, so people eating out would have gone into the centre of Winchester.

What possesses a collector to start a player collection? Why would a collector chase every variation or parallel just because it has a favorite player's picture on it? Is it really that interesting to look at identical cards that have a different color border? Actually, one thing I've noticed, especially with cards of pitchers, is that pretty much every pose on every card looks exactly the same. I seriously wonder sometimes why there's such a thing as a player collector. Of course, I am one, of sorts, and trying to explain so many aspects of collecting is a futile and absurd task.
How do people choose the player to collect? Some collections are obvious. You never have to explain to someone why you want to collect Hank Aaron or Chipper Jones. What about the weirdo who wants every Mark Lemke card ever made? I've met people online who are Clint Sammons and Brandon Hicks collectors. Really. There are people who are looking to track down as many different Clint Sammons cards as they possibly can. There's no point in asking why. There are multitudes of reasons a specific player can become someone's favorite player. I don't judge, even if the choice shocks me. (Well, I try not to judge. If your favorite player is someone like Melky Cabrera, then I will judge and mock.) One other thing is true about collecting more obscure players. It will certainly be a lot cheaper acquiring a rare Brandon Hicks parallel than a Chipper Jones.
As I've written before, I got out of card collecting for a long period of time. From the early 90s to the middle of 2005, I didn't actively collect baseball cards. When I got back into the hobby, I had only two plans. The first was to complete all the major base sets from the 80s. The second was to become a player collector. I wanted to get every Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz card ever produced. Naturally, I discovered that this wouldn't be possible as soon as started investigating what had gone on since my departure from the hobby. So I revised my goal to get as many Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz cards as possible.
Over the past eight years, my goals have changed. My player collection goals have been reduced as I realized I am a set builder at heart. Still, it's nice to have my player collections. It makes it easy for people to find stuff to trade with me. It lets me know just who my favorite players are. More importantly, it's fun. So, how do I decide which players I want to collect? Well, let's take a look at the five players that comprise my official player collections and I'll share with you why I chose them. Then, I hope, in the comments, you'll share with me which players you collect, or which players you would collect.
Greg Maddux
This seems like such an obvious choice and it was. Greg Maddux is, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the single best baseball player I've ever had the pleasure of watching on a regular basis. Chipper Jones, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz will all be in the Hall of Fame at some point and are all great. Maddux is different though. He's among a small group of players that can truly be considered the best ever. There's nothing I miss more about baseball in the mid 90s than watching Greg Maddux strike a guy out looking.
As a collector, Maddux is a fun guy to chase. No, it isn't fun having so many Cubs, Padres and Dodgers cards in a binder. Yes, every card of Maddux in his throwing motion looks a lot like every other Maddux card with him throwing. Maddux is fun to collect because he's kind of a dork. If you've read anything about him, you know he is. The looks on his face on his baseball cards though is proof positive. On the other hand, Maddux's greatness prices his autograph cards out of most collector's reach.
Tom Glavine
There's no one I enjoyed watching pitch more than Tom Glavine. He was the definition of fierce and relentless. His ability to sit on the outside corner inning after inning after inning and not give in was a marvel to behold. I also give him extra points for two reasons. First, he strapped the Braves to his back on his rise to greatness in 1991. It was his performance that year, more than any other single player on that team including NL MVP Terry Pendleton, that led the way for the Braves in the west. Second, he pitched his best game in the single most important game in the history of the Atlanta Braves franchise. That game was game 6 of the 1995 World Series and his performance that day was a perfect encapsulation of his greatness. He sat outside inning after inning. He cussed his teammates asking for one run because, he said, the Indians weren't getting one. Then, he made David Justice's home run stand up and completed the journey he set the team on in 1991. That's pretty heady stuff.
Tom Glavine cards can be found fairly easily and affordably since he's become somewhat underrated in the hobby. You can even find some really nice autograph cards of his for around thirty bucks. There's one thing to consider about a Glavine collection though, aside from having to get cards of his wearing those ridiculous Mets colors. Even more than Maddux, his cards tend to look similar. While Maddux has no shortage of goofy facial expressions to go around, Glavine has the same determined look on just about every action shot.
John Smoltz
The thing about the big three that so many people seem to forget is that Smoltz took longer to figure it all out than the other guys. He was, at times, wildly inconsistent. If you think Mike Minor's season last year was the classic example of "A Tale of Two Seasons" you should investigate John Smoltz's 1991 season. He was so bad in the first half that he started seeing a sports psychologist. In the second half, he was as good as any picture in the National League. Of course, Smoltz says the stories about the psychologist were exaggerated. Once 1996 hit though, Smoltz put himself at the top of the game and stayed there for most of the rest of his career. Still, it was those struggles early on that got so many of us on his side. Smoltz fought and then conquered his game.
Like Glavine, John Smoltz is largely underrated by the hobby. His cards tend to be far more affordable than a lot of pitchers of his caliber. He's also signing quite a bit these days for Topps and is often the featured Braves veteran in a lot of recent Topps sets. It's nice to think I can keep getting new Smoltz cards. I hope they keep putting them out until the end of time.
Jason Heyward
I made the decision to go whole hog with a Heyward collection when he started struggling during his second season. I heard so many down on the kid that it just ticked me off. There's was all this talk about how he didn't love baseball. Some of the things I heard said about him in the stands at the Ted when he was struggling was shocking, and I grew up in the south. My belief in Jason Heyward and his talent never wavered, and I would like to point out, I was right. Jason Heyward has established himself as one of the best players in the game and I look forward to watching him play year after year.
Heyward was a hobby darling from the start. Topps put him on the box several times. They've had him sign prodigiously which has helped keep his prices down, although, they are starting to creep up again. There's one thing I can say for certain about Jason Heyward. He will be featured in virtually every set Topps puts out between now and the end of his career. Don't look for his prices to come down.
Andrelton Simmons
I think I decided to become an Andrelton Simmons collector the first time I saw him field a ball at shortstop after he was called up last year. That decision was cemented after I saw him high five the air after getting the cold shoulder in the dugout right after hitting his first home run. Then, I'd see him give an interview, and he sounds so smart about hitting and all things baseball. Plus, he's always smiling. He's a guy who's having fun on the baseball field. How can you not love this kid?
At some point, Topps will start to show Simmons some love, but that hasn't happened yet. In fact, their decision to put Zack Cozart over Simmons on the 2012 Topps Rookie All-Star team was insulting and stupid to anyone who knows baseball. (Simmons posted a higher WAR with over four-hundred FEWER plate appearances.) The snubs continue into this season with Simmons not even getting a card in 2013 Gypsy Queen. No offense meant to the man, but what has Chris Johnson done to deserve a card in the set and not Simmons? Topps will get on board the Simba train at some point though, and it will be a long time before they get off.
Other Players
There are other players whose cards I would never refuse in a trade. Looking at only Braves from the 80s on, I could never refuse a Dale Murphy, Phil Niekro, Bob Horner, Chris Chambliss, Rafael Ramirez, Glenn Hubbard, Bruce Benedict, Mark Lemke, Jeff Blauser, Ron Gant, Steve Avery, David Justice, Ryan Klesko, Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Martin Prado, Tim Hudson, Freddie Freeman, Craig Kimbrel or Brian McCann card. I just haven't started a "formal" player collection for these guys. I am contemplating a Julio Teheran collection, but there's no hurry on that. (Although, I have a nice start.)
So, what players do you collect? Who would you collect if you got into baseball cards?

Northern Westchester Hospital has started transporting materials for construction its parking garage.
Transport of the pre-cast materials began last week, NWH spokesman Mark Vincent confirmed. The garage, which will have 496 spaces and be two stories tall, has a June 2013 completion goal, Vincent explained.
The transportation route largely avoids using Leonard Park, a route that the hospital proposed last summer and was met with worried reception from Mount Kisco Mayor Michael Cindrich, who noted at a village board of trustees meeting earlier this year about the potential impact on residents who use it.
Instead, both sides confirmed, NWH is mostly using a combintion of Routes 172 and 117, with limited use of a park strip called "Little League Way" for truck repositioning. That strip is at the intersection of St Marks Place and Route 117, according to Cindrich.
"This minimizes the impact on local traffic," Vincent wrote to Patch in an email.
Cindrich also believes that the alternative scenario is better than the Leonard Park proposal, forgoing a tractor trailer switch with a crane that could have been implemented under the park pass-through scenario.
The village and NWH agreed to several time limits for transport, both sides confirmed. The transportation is allowed for a half hour before sunrise (going to 7 a.m.) and then from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., largely avoiding school bus traffic. The state's Department of Transportation also agreed, Cindrich confirmed. Routes 117 and 172 are both state-owned roads.
The prognosis from NWH? As the expression goes, so far, so good.
"Progress over the last few days has been very good and there has been little to no impact on local traffic," Vincent wrote. "The project continues to move ahead smoothly and we expect to have all materials on site by mid-December."

When in Rome, do as Audrey Hepburn would do. Failing that, run off with your ex-boyfriend, carry suspicious packages through customs, and lie to the person who loves you. . . .
Georgie Beauchamp is totally happy and in love with her wonderful, dependable boyfriend, David. So why does she always daydream about running into her gorgeous ex-boyfriend Mike? It can't mean she's still in love with him--especially since the cad dumped her so horribly. As luck would have it, when Georgie's daydream actually comes true, she is dressed in unglamorous sweats and carrying a curtain rod down the street, while Mike is driving an expensive sports car and looking better than Brad Pitt at the Oscars. She longs to have the glamorous life Mike can offer--and starts to think that he might want her back in his arms.
But when he invites her for a weekend in Rome, Georgie is torn. David has always said he'd take her there for the romantic getaway of a lifetime, but his work keeps him totally tied up. So she must choose: David, all comfort and reliability, or Mike, all flirtation and butterfly-stomachs. The decision isn't too hard to make, and faster than she can say Vespa, she's off to Rome with Mike, full of plans to frolic on the Spanish Steps and sip wine in intimate trattorias. But when David shows up unexpectedly, this roman holiday gets a hell of a lot more complicated. . . . …More

We recently collaborated with world-renowned Japanese luggage specialist Porter Yoshida & Co to create the limited-edition Jaybird backpack.
Inspired by signature elements of Porter's traditional backpacks which were then given a rag & bone twist, the Jaybird is our first technical backpack.
"Porter is such an iconic brand – they're renowned for their incredible attention to detail and use of very high quality materials, so to put our aesthetic into one their bags felt like the perfect collaboration," says Marcus, the proud owner of a black Jaybird! "Their hardware is also very in line with ours and hardware is a big part of rag & bone," he adds.
Comprised primarily of nylon cordura, the Jaybird comes equipped with a multitude of functional elements, including two side slip pockets, a zipped inner pocket, a clasp-fastening hood, adjustment straps and a reinforced bottom, complemented by sleek leather accents.
The shoulder straps, which have multiple adjustments, and back panel are also padded and constructed in a breathable mesh fabric.
Available in black and navy, the Jaybird is $395 and can currently be found here and in our Houston Street store (73 East Houston Street). Our other stores will carry the Jaybird later this Fall.
The Jaybird is 11″W x 19″H X 4.5 D

I'll be the first to say that Quarles has always been underappreciated, but I'm still trying to figure out where all of this Quarles love has come from; three years ago, people couldn't WAIT to replace him, because he was either easily interchangeable and an average MLB, with some going so far as to say he sucked, or he was just getting too old and not as athletic. The last two years, people wondered aloud how a 2nd round draft pick couldn't beat out an aging MLB like Quarles, with the implicit suggestion that Ruud was a bust because he didn't win the starting job.Last year people finally started to give him a little credit for keeping Ruud on the bench (though many more still suggest that it's because Ruud sucks); now all of a sudden he was so good that he should get to retire on his own terms.
