News: Drake's "Take Care" First-Week Sales Projections Revealed
Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011 4:20PM
Young Money's Drake appears ready to take on the sophomore jinx as his Take Care solo album is projected to sell up to 725,000 copies in its opening week.
Based on one day estimates, Drizzy's LP will easily debut atop the competition next week.
The rapper, whose sophomore YM/CM/Universal Republic album, Take Care, is the follow-up to last year's successful bow, Thank Me Later, will debut at #1 with a sales total between 675-725k. Glassnote Records latest discovery, Community star Donald Glover's hip-hop persona Childish Gambino's debut album Camp will open with a very impressive 45-50k. Finally, Trill/Fontana hip-hop artist Baton Rouge rapper Webbie's third installment of the Savage Life series, is set to bow with 24-27k. (HITS Daily Double)
Last week, Drizzy said he did not think Take Care could sell a million copies in seven days.
"That's the golden number for anyone," Drake said when asked if a million copies in his first week is what he is shooting for. "I doubt that'll happen. That's some Lil Wayne, Eminem iconic sh*t. I don't know if I'm there yet. Whoever goes out and buys it, I'm happy. I'd rather have great reviews than numbers. I'd rather walk out of my house and hear seven cars playing it than hear that I did 900,000." (Billboard)
Former Cash Money Records artist Juvenile recently gave his input on if Drizzy's leaked album would hurt his sales in the long run.
"It's crazy, 'cause the album is stupid. You don't want the album to get bootlegged, but when the album is this good, I don't think it will hurt it. If anything it might help it in the end. I'm definitely squeezing him on my album too. Before this album leak happened I was already back and forth with his peoples to get clearance to do a song." (BET)
In June 2010, Drake's debut album also topped the sales charts.
Young Money rapper Drake's Thank Me Later finally debuted on the charts this week landing at No. 1. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the rapper's long-awaited debut moved 447,300 units after seven days in stores. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

Database Delight Online Training: Report on Week One
San Jose Public Library's Database Delight program, a 23 Things-style online training on databases, has been going strong for one week now. For the first week, we have had approximately 100 SJPL staff members participate in learning about our major article database suite with EBSCO (which we're calling EBSCOhost Research Databases for lack of a better name).
The prize bidding is going well too! All of our prizes are posted on Flickr as a set, and for each week someone participates, they get one bid on any of the 46 prize packs we have available. Despite my worries that the donated prizes wouldn't be flashy enough for staff, we're actually getting some really positive feedback about what we have. We had to get all prizes donated by the staff themselves, since we are not allowed to spend any city money on prizes for staff (it's seen as paying the staff twice to do their jobs), or ask for donations from local businesses (it's seen as a conflict of interest in that we might favor businesses who donate for future city projects).
Personally, I just love reading through the prize descriptions, which were written by our insanely witty Digital Futures intern, Robert Sese. Below is one example: the Search Engine Love Triangle Prize Pack.
Do you wake up with Google in the morning but sneak off with Bing during lunch? Do you see Yahoo when you're on that business trip to Chicago? Then the Search Engine Love Triangle Prize Pack is for you!
1. 2010 Bing calendar with some super sweet background images theoretically used at some point on the bing.com search page. Each month also has a query typed into the search box to give you something to search for each month. February's search query? "Pollen". The first month's free, but you have to get the calendar to see the rest (or you can view the image at a higher resolution and you can probably read the search terms off the calendar).
2. bing sticker. Stick WHEREVER YOU WANT.
3. bing pen. Write WHATEVER YOU WANT.
4. Yahoo yelling device. I thought the Yahoo item was one of those push lights, but it's actually someone yelling the word "Yahoo…oooooo!". I forecast you will press this button at least 5 times, but no more than 13 times in your lifetime.
5. A white and black 3/4 sleeved Google font having t-shirt that says "i'm not your damn search engine." A bit aggressive for my taste, but most people will probably just recognize the font and say "that's a Google shirt". Size small 100% cotton.
The feedback we've gotten from staff so far has been absolutely fabulous. Since it only takes a half hour or so per week to participate, we're hearing that many of our staff in all positions are participating: Aides, Pages, Library Assistants, and Librarians. We've had a few technical glitches (IE 6 displaying comments strangely, some Flickr prize items' commenting was invisible for a while), but everything is fixable or work-around-able. I think we've worked the kinks out and are now going full blast!
For me, the best thing about the project is that staff are learning stuff! Here are three sample comments from staff about the first week's exercises:
- Offering quick overviews of SJPL's databases is a great idea. I am a hands-on person so the exercises at the end are a good way for me to reinforce my learning.
- Ebsco is where you can send patrons for their Consumer Reports questions! i.e. Do you have the Consumer Report that recommends the best toaster? I also learned something new from Science News for Kids-that there is a new element on the periodic table, Copernicum.
- I found this to be a nice idea. It should be an ongoing project to help us all keep our database skills sharp. This would especially be good for non-librarians. I often find myself instructing the clerical staff on how to use databases. They are always so pleased to learn about a new resource. With this project, they can become as aware of database searching as librarians and can help the public even better than they already do.
Furthermore, staff are making suggestions about ways to improve the database and pointing out things that they don't like. Here are a couple of examples:
- I am not very satisfied with the language translation feature. It would be great if they included more languages (for example: Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and more.)
- When you select "new search" the database preference does not reset automatically to "all". There should be some kind of a prompt so searchers are aware of this or they are likely to get no results for a subsequent search in a different subject.
- The blue bar containing the tabs at the top of the page is surprisingly easy for the eye to miss. It would help if the tabs were more "tab-like" or otherwise more prominent.
So, maybe the database vendors will be listening – and will see the staff comments and requests and respond! We're covering a different database each week, mostly from all different vendors. This is a great opportunity for the vendors to see a real hands-on evaluation of their products. I hope they're listening!
I am very, very pleased with how this experiment has turned out so far. I encourage other libraries to pursue a similar program with staff and also with library customers! I have been contacted by two library systems, one consortium, and three small libraries who are now building similar learning programs after this model. I am so happy that our library's work is helping others! After all, learning is a shared experience and one that we can all help each other with. If you want more info on how this program was started or how it's working, see the Database Delight website "About This Project" section or contact me.

Delight as TV star Griff due to visit Addingham
11:00am Friday 9th November 2012 in Local news By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
Celebrated comedian, presenter and actor Griff Rhys Jones will visit Addingham on Tuesday during a campaign trail promoting the civic movement nationwide.
The president of national civic movement charity Civic Voice, Mr Rhys Jones, 58, will speak out on Government policies and the role of local civic societies at Bracken Ghyll Golf Club in Skipton Road. His visit is part of a four-day tour of Yorkshire and Humberside, which coincides with the Government pushing forward with the Growth and Infrastructure Bill.
He plans to talk to communities and businesses in the region about how national policies will affect them, and will be encouraging people to go out and support the work of their local civic society. The visit is at the invitation of Addingham Civic Society.
Addingham has the third-largest civic society in the region, after York and Leeds, with more than 400 members.
Addingham Civic Society chairman, Jim Robinson, said: "I am obviously delighted Griff Rhys Jones will be visiting Addingham. This will be a big day for the society and the village, and demonstrates how much we align ourselves with the aims of Civic Voice."
Mr Robinson says examples of this are the society's support for the anti-Chelker wind turbines campaign and being at the forefront of the Wharfedale battle against proposed Bradford District Local Plan housing targets.
Mr Robinson said: "I see an important growth in the Civic Movement nationally, and here in Addingham the society goes from strength to strength. With more than 430 members, we are now the third biggest Civic Society in Yorkshire.
"Griff will hopefully inspire more residents from Wharfedale to join civic groups, as we come to terms with the challenges of weak and ineffective Government legislation."
Mr Rhys Jones will also meet representatives of local groups during his visit.
Tickets to the event cost £5. They will be available to members of Addingham Civic Society at the annual meeting tonight, and from the Old School Room in Main Street between 1pm and 4pm tomorrow, and from 10am to noon on Saturday.

Well, hello, precious!
May 2013:
Lark is wearing the hearing aid, is well reacting to the sounds in the environment, "sing" when she hears music. Stands with help or needs to hold her hand, walks with some help, started to try to put the pyramid rings – sometimes needs help in this activity. Very much interested in other children especially when they play around, started to repeat the movements – pushes the car, takes the toy, claps her hands. Learned to eat cookies holding in her hand. Drinks from a cup which is held by an adult.

The Arizona Cardinals fell just short of another one of their trademark incredible comebacks, losing to the Buffalo Bills 19-16 in overtime after squandering an opportunity to win it in regulation.
With the Cardinals needing a field goal to tie it with a little under three minutes remaining, Kevin Kolb was able to bust off a 22 yard scamper to convert a first-and-20. But Kolb would be knocked out of the game with a rib injury attempting to scramble on the next play, forcing Week 1 starter John Skelton to enter the game in the midst of a desperate comeback.
And Skelton was able to do exactly what Kolb did during the home opener, moving the offense with a 17-yard laser to Larry Fitzgerald on 4th-and-11. Three incompletions later, Jay Feely did the unthinkable, easily draining a 61-yard field goal to knot the game up at 16.
After forcing a three-and-out, Skelton hit Larry Fitzgerald on a 28-yard reception that set up another field goal attempt for Feely. This time, however, his kick hit the upright from 38 yards away to send the game to overtime.
In the extra period, the Bills were able to move the ball 50 yards before being forced to punt on their opening possession. But Jarius Byrd would jump in front of Skelton's second pass of overtime and return it 29 yards to set up Rian Lindell game-winning chip shot from 25 yards out.
Fantasy studs/duds
Both of Buffalo's running backs put together decent fantasy performances. C.J. Spiller finished with 110 total yards and a touchdown, while Fred Jackson fumbled but managed to put up 83 total yards and a touchdown of his own. Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had six receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown.
Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had a forgettable afternoon with 153 and zero touchdowns on 18-of-32 passing.
Larry Fitzgerald makes it look easy
Larry Fitzgerald has been putting up highlight reel plays for years. But this is just ridiculous.
Not even fair.
What's next?
The Arizona Cardinals will travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings next week. Buffalo will play at home against the Tennessee Titans.

This is a little difficult to understand. You want to say that universities are only useful for connecting with people??
How about:
I don't believe that universities have any real purpose other than putting you in touch with specialists and other humans. I think that the faculties of liberal arts schools and specialized schools would agree.

Located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the Atlantis Paradise Island offers so many activities that it's probably one of the only resorts in the world where you'll need a map to even get around!

Inspired by the movie: Tinker Bell
Coaxing the flowers to pop open in the springtime is a task that's guaranteed to give a gardening fairy's wings a real workout. Nonetheless, Queen Clarion can rely on Rosetta and all the pixies that share her talent to stick with it until every last bulb has sprouted and bloom unfurled. Here's a fun project that will let your young gardener try her hand at putting together a colorful arrangement of paper Easter tulips that would make Rosetta proud. Planted in a pot filled with dried beans or rice, they make a striking holiday centerpiece that will really liven up the room.
You'll need:
- Wooden kitchen skewers
- Green craft paint and paintbrush
- Tulip templates
- Scissors
- Scrapbook paper
- Glue stick
1. First, create a stem for each tulip by painting a kitchen skewer green.
2. While the paint dries, print the template and cut out the pieces. For each flower, cut two centers, two left petals, and two right petals out of scrapbook paper.
|3. Glue the flower centers together back-to-back with the pointed tip of the skewer stem sandwiched between them.
|4. Glue a petal to each side of the tulip face (the edges will overlap in the middle). Then flip the tulip over and glue the remaining 2 petals to the other side.

Remove Paypal as a compulsory payment processor for buyers/sellers on Ebay within the UK.
This petition is primarily to fight against the compulsory ownership of a Paypal account in order to use selling services or any other services on Ebay within the UK.
Increasingly the terrible customer services and poor review procedures are causing massive problems for individuals and businesses trying to make a living via online sales within Ebay.
Paypal seem to take no notice of this and the official social media pages for this company are littered with complaints and horror stories.
At 'Paypal Horror UK' we wish to make it possible for sellers to use other methods of payment acceptance without the need of a paypal account.
This will also help buyers who are increasingly having problems with paypals as we will start to see new methods of payment being accepted which are safe and much more reliable for both buyers and sellers.
Please support our petition if this issue has affected you and you want to make a difference!

Nashville, TN - In his Winter Meetings press conference, still glowing from signing starting pitcher Dan Haren this morning, Nationals manager Davey Johnson addressed the media to discuss where he sees his ballclub in 2013.
Johnson was immediately nostalgic for the success his team had in the 2012 season. "This is one of the best ballclubs I've ever had," Johnson said, and noted that, "I have a love of the game and I have a love of the organization." Though the Nationals didn't end their postseason run quite as he had hoped, Johnson decided to return for the 2013 season because he is confident that his team is prepared to compete and capitalize on their successes of this season.
"We are prepared to handle any situation thrown at us," Johnson added. When asked about moves they need to make this offseason to contend next year, Johnson said "we don't need to do a whole lot in the winter."
The Nationals roster may be mostly complete now that Haren shores up the rotation, and Johnson was excited to have a strong veteran starter joining the rotation, and said that he is a good fit for the team because he's a great athlete, leader, and hitter. The addition of Haren is the writing on the wall for Edwin Jackson, who will now bounce to the ninth team of his career as a free agent.
Of course, the biggest missing piece to the Nationals' equation is whether or not first baseman Adam LaRoche will accept an offer to stay with the team. Johnson reiterated that he'd love to have LaRoche back with the team for good and said, "[Adam] LaRoche is going to come back. If I have to go to Kansas and take him and all his cattle to Florida, I will." If the Nationals do re-sign LaRoche, it likely means that Michael Morse will be on the trading block, given the depth they already have in the outfield with this season's players and the addition of Denard Span.
As for the bullpen, Johnson discussed the possibility of stretching out right-handed pitcher Christian Garcia to long relief this season, saying that he'd be insurance for the starting rotation. Johnson also seemed comfortable with the idea of only having two left-handers in the bullpen and has faith that his pitchers are capable of working in a variety of capacities next season.
In all, Johnson is confident that the Nationals can pick up where they left off last season. He said that he hadn't spoken to Stephen Strasburg yet, but that he knows all of his players will show up excited and ready to play in the spring and that he's ready for the season and recognizes that a lot of people will see the his team as the favorites in the NL East.

With three days to go before the Monday night showdown between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, the injuries to Tony Romo and Dez Bryant are still an issue for the Cowboys. Neither player participated in practice on Friday, though Bryant did dress. Both are still uncertain to play for the Cowboys on Monday.
Romo did throw a little bit on Friday, but for the most part, he was still limited. His punctured lung appears to be healed, but his ribs are still an issue. ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins reports Romo has not yet been cleared to play, though he is hopeful he will.
As for Bryant, he is still nursing a quad injury. He was dressed before reporters were able to see, but officially listed as not participating in practice.

From a shifty-eyed Nixon in repose to a triumphant Harry Truman, lifelike statues dot corners throughout the center. Collect all 42.
The world's largest monument is a 563ft-tall work-in-progress, with a lot of work to go. When finished it will depict the Sioux leader astride his horse, pointing to the horizon saying, 'My lands are where my dead lie buried.
In operation since 1970, Keystone is a family-oriented resort on the Snake River 5 miles east of Dillon on US Hwy 6.
This bike park has some tremendous downhill trails and is a hub for those aforementioned 100-plus miles of scenic mountain single track.
Looking like they're either emerging from or being absorbed by the mountain, the stony faces of past presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt - carved 60ft tall in the granite of a Black Hills outcrop - are one of the most famous images in the USA and the top attraction in the state; the monument gets nearly three million visitors.
The only reason 111-sq-mile Custer State Park isn't a national park is that the state grabbed it first. It boasts one of the largest free-roaming bison herds in the world (about 1500), the famous 'begging burros' (donkeys seeking handouts) and more than 200 species of bird.
At the small temporary headquarters , you can take tours (free) of the launch complex where two people stood ready around the clock to turn keys launching missiles from this part of South Dakota. Visits are limited to six people per tour and there are only one or two per day. Call far in advance to secure a place.
Wall Drug is a surprisingly worthy stop. They really do have 5¢coffee, free ice water and enough diversions and come-ons to warm the heart of schlock-lovers everywhere. But amidst the fudge in the faux frontier complex is a superb bookstore with the best selection of regional titles we've seen.
Dark paneled walls and sawdust on the floor are features of this storied bar. The original, where Hickok literally lost big time, stood across the street, but the building burned to the ground and the owners brought the bar over here. There's a rooftop bar and decent Italian-accented food.
Things get loud for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally , when around 500,000 riders, fans and curious onlookers take over the town. Temporary campsites are set up and motels across the region unmuffle their rates. Check the rally website for vacancies. The chamber of commerce also has info.

KENT, Ohio (AP) -- Loretta Busch was the first, a 14-year-old rescued from abusive parents after she slipped a letter to another child outside her bedroom window asking for help.
Brian Lewis was the last, a timid 14-year-old with a shaved head and just 77 pounds clinging to his malnourished frame.
Between Loretta and Brian were 150 other children spanning four decades, all given to the temporary care of Marlene Tromczynski.
There isn't a day that the woman known to many as Mom Trom doesn't receive a phone call or visit from one of the dozens of foster children who found their way to her, but she has officially retired from that role with the Portage County Department of Job and Family Services.
At age 72, the Kent woman is ready to do a little traveling, and maybe tackle those tubs of sewing, knitting and other craft supplies that have gone untouched.
"This is the first time I've had an empty house since 1961," said Tromczynski. That was the year she gave birth to the first of her three biological children.
But empty is a relative term. Her house remains filled with memories, a few heartbreaking, but mostly warm recollections of mornings getting ready for school, evenings discussing the day around the dinner table, and summers full of activities.
Alexander Gless, 22, said he learned very quickly that the Tromczynski home was more than shelter.
"I was really angry when I came into care," he said. "I had anger problems. She gave me someone to talk to and she was a really good listener. Because of the care she provided for me, I was able to become a better man."
"She always strengthened us," he continued. "Whatever ailment we had, whatever we'd been through, she strengthened us. And she always made sure we had stuff to do. We went biking, swimming, Cedar Point. She gave us chores. She kept us busy."
Nicole Leyman, 29, remembers Mom Trom helping to teach her how to drive, encouraging her to find a job and stressing the importance of saving money. Leyman, a mother herself now, said she's a better parent for the lessons learned during the four years that she and her twin brothers stayed with Tromczynski.
She still remembers that first day the caseworker dropped her off, the fear of being in a strange house with a strange family.
"But once you walked in, the house was so welcoming ... I just remember walking through the door, and Marlene standing there with a big smile on her face," Leyman said.
Leyman said that night and each after, everyone in the house sat at the same table for dinner, taking turns talking about their day.
"It felt like family," she said.
Tromczynski insisted her charges behave like family, whether it was carving pumpkins together or learning how to respect each other during disputes.
Being a foster parent was never just about offering a child a temporary place to live, she said.
"You've got to invest in these kids and be a part of their lives," she said.
Daniele Fisher, 28, said Tromczynski was the living embodiment of a real mother.
"I've never had somebody in my life more willing to go to bat for me," she said. "If she thought somebody slighted you in some way or was unfair to you, no matter what the reason, she was there with her claws out. She'd go to war for you."
And it wasn't just the children affected by her unconditional love.
Linda Leyman, who had to relinquish custody of her three children for several years, calls Tromczynski "mom" as well.
"When I went through rehab, I was just grateful there was a family out there with a big heart," Leyman said. "I was just so grateful she and her family opened their arms and their home. She's amazing."
Tromczynski said the desire to foster a child came in 1974. She and her husband, Edward, had two boys and a girl. Her sons often teamed up against their sister, so she longed to have a second girl to even the score.
Her first case was Loretta Busch, who said she didn't even know how to eat with silverware.
"I learned from the very first day, there's love in this house," said Busch, now 54. She stayed with Mom Trom into adulthood and while she attended college. And in later years when she met with a challenging time, she moved back for a couple more years.
That's happened with other foster children.
Daniele Fisher returned to her as an adult when she found herself homeless and pregnant. She stayed with Tromczynski through the birth of her son.
"I've been through a few foster homes. I was in the system since I was 2 weeks old. And I can tell you, Mom does it for the right reasons. Not because she was called to do it. She does it because she genuinely loves kids, and she genuinely thinks nobody should be unloved," Fisher said.
Throughout most of her fostering career, Tromczynski has been a single mother. Her husband, Edward, died unexpectedly at the age of 38, in 1979.
With the loss of the family's breadwinner, she considered herself fortunate to be able to keep her children together. That drove her to wanting to continue providing a safe place for others to land.
"I was lucky enough, by the grace of God, to keep my kids. I didn't lose my kids because I didn't have my husband, and I wanted to give back," she said.
She's cared for as many as six kids at a time, with twin beds in three rooms. Some stayed for just a few days; others for years.
She's fostered children as young as 8, but her preference was always teenagers. Emotionally, she always thought that was the "smart choice" for her.
"I knew when my kids left, they would have a mouth big enough to say, 'I need some help.' So I would feel somewhat safe when they would go because I taught them to have a big mouth," she said. "The little ones, it would kill me to let them go because they might not be able to speak up."
Still, Scott Lazzara, supervisor for the county's Children Services agency, said it's very rare to find a foster parent who wants teenagers.
"Before I became a supervisor, I used to call Marlene to say I have this kid and I can't find a home, and Marlene would say 'Scott, don't say any more. I'll take him.'?"
"She never turned a kid down. ... She would take the worst of the worst. This one," he said of Tromczynski, "will be hard to replace."

The company also reported that non-IFRS "deferred cloud subscription and support revenue" was €361 million at the end of the quarter, a year-over-year increase of 68 percent. Deferred cloud subscription and support revenue includes committed future cloud subscription and support revenue already paid by the customer for subsequent quarters of the year.
SAP, however, forecast at least 10 percent growth in non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue at constant currencies for the full year 2013, down from 11 to 13 percent forecast in the last quarter. It, however, maintained its full year 2013 non-IFRS operating profit outlook to be in the range of €5.85 billion to €5.95 billion at constant currencies, up from €5.21 billion in 2012. SAP continues to expect non-IFRS cloud subscription and support revenue of around €750 million in 2013 at constant currencies, from €343 million last year.
The 2013 revenue and profit figures include the revenue and profit from SAP's acquisition of cloud-based human capital management tools company SuccessFactors and cloud-based e-commerce vendor Ariba. The comparative second quarter numbers for 2012 do not include Ariba as the acquisition did not occur until Oct. 1, SAP said.
Meanwhile, time and again on the conference call talk returned to HANA and its competition, including Oracle's newly released 12c database as well as a future Oracle product involving in-memory technology that CEO Larry Ellison recently revealed.
"We believe we have an 18 to 24-month lead [with HANA] while our competition is announcing products based on future promises," McDermott said.
Snabe also took a shot at Salesforce.com's recently announced partnership with Oracle, which will calls for Salesforce to extend its commitment to Oracle's technology stack for the long term.
"Unlike our competition, we do not outsource innovation," he said.

Group seeks residents' input on the future of Pinardville
The committee has been meeting since January in public work sessions, and held a weeklong series of workshops and brainstorming events in May called Planapalooza for Pinardville.
At the July 2 meeting, residents commented that the committee should listen to the community, such as designing street connections.
"We decided not to make connections to Joffre, Haig and Petain streets," Rose said. "From the beginning, it really wasn't street connections, per se."
Some residents said the planning process is happening too fast, while others are afraid decisions are being made for the residents of Pinardville.
"Rezoning will open the door to more huge apartment complexes similar to the 48 apartments being built on Moose Club," said Benner.
The committee, however, is taking public comments seriously, and some ideas will be incorporated into the proposed plan and others are not feasible, either for economic or demographic reasons.
"This is a tremendous improvement over our master plan because we're looking at a very specific section of town with very specific recommendations and guidelines," said committee member Tony Marts.
A new proposed area is Cote's Corner, now a three-way intersection of Mast Road, Pinard Street and Laurier Street which causes traffic confusion, and is the gateway to Pinardville. The idea is to create more open space with pedestrian-friendly areas, outdoor dining and mixed-use buildings.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Youngstown State head women's basketball coach Bob Boldon has announced that Hannah Boesinger and Jenna Hirsch have signed a National Letter of Intent to attend YSU and play for the Penguins starting in the 2013-14 season.
Boesinger is a 5-foot-11 forward from Hudson, Ohio, and Hudson High School, while Hirsch is a 5-foot-7 guard from Decker, Mich., and Marlette Junior/Senior High School.
"My staff and I are very excited to add two quality young ladies to our program who will fit very well in our system," Boldon said. "They are both versatile and tough physically, and they both do very well in the classroom. They embody the things we've been trying to develop in this program."
Boesinger averaged 14.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 2.1 assists and 1.6 blocks per game as a junior for the Hudson High Explorers. She was a First-Team All-Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division selection as a junior, and she earned All-Northeast Ohio Inland District accolades as a sophomore and junior. She averaged 11.2 points and 9.8 rebounds as a sophomore. Entering her senior year, she has scored 598 points and grabbed 458 rebounds in her career. She has career highs of 26 points against Stow as a junior and 22 rebounds as a sophomore against Firestone.
"Hannah is a post player who can be effective all over the floor," Boldon said. "She has a knack for finishing around the basket, and she's comfortable facing the rim as well."
Hirsch was a second-team all-state pick while earning first-team honors at the conference, county and area levels as a junior. She averaged 16.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 5.0 steals as a junior for the Red Raiders. She's been named the Tuscola County Advertiser Player of the Year in each of the past two seasons. Hirsch is ranked 16th on the Michigan Girls Basketball Report's Fab 50 Senior list.
"Jenna is a guard who handles and passes the ball well enough to play the point, but she also shoots it well enough to be a wing," Boldon said.
Youngstown State is 2-0 after earning road wins at Pittsburgh and Buffalo. The Penguins will take on Bryant in their home opener on Sunday at 12:05 p.m.

07-10-2013, 10:26 AM #82In order to be successful, Ponder is going to have to be on the exact same page as his receivers. He is going to have to throw to open field long before the receiver, and it is going to have to be to a spot that only the WR can get to. It is not impossible, but it is a lot more difficult than it would be if he was firing it in.
And, tho he is dynamite with a ball in his hands, Harvin's "I got a headache and don't want to pay attention in practice today," being replaced with Jennings more workman like attitude can rub off on the other young WRs we have, and improve that whole department.
At least that's what I hope!! SKOL VIKINGS!!!!!Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!
"Balance it on end and thats the third side of the coin!!" -wookiefoot
The QB isn't driving our scheme, the O-coord is. Thats why they drafted a QB that was best suited to run it.
Think back, Walsh ran the Air Coryell "More Vertical" offense. When he was stuck with a weak armed QB he came up with what is now called the Dink Dunk offense. Thats why he, from that point on, always drafted a QB that didn't so much have a strong arm but rather knew were and when to throw the ball.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
The limitation was directly related to Ponder inexperience coupled together with a very complex offense and WR's that could not get separation when the were SUPPOSED to. Did they eventually get open? Sure but in almost every instance I bet it was passed the window were Ponder was supposed to throw the ball to.
That last sentence is pretty key because Ponder is supposed to deliver the ball to a spot before the WR gets there. If it doesn't appear he is going to have the separation at that spot Ponder is then supposed to go onto the second read in his progression.
That statement is pretty important as well. In this variation of the WCO, the QB always throws to the guy he thinks is going to be open based on his pre-snap read. If he has to go to a second or third option, he basically read the defense wrong.
Kindof makes me chuckle when I see Vikings fans hack on him for "locking in on a target". Watch Brady when he's reading the defenses right. He never looks at anything but his prime target. Quick read, quick release.......staple of the Walsh Dink Dunk scheme.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
I know most don't want to agree, but our WR's last year did not get separation when they were supposed to. Most instances, when they were wide open, were times after Ponder was supposed to go to them based on the read and timing associated with that read.
Gonna be fun to watch Jennings work the field this year. Vikings fans are going to remember what the word separation means.
Another thing that will come of that....QB confidence. Not in himself, but in the WR's to be were they are supposed to be when the ball gets there. I think he had absolutely no confidence in anyone other than Percy and Rudy last year. All the defense had to do was take one or the other out, which wasn't to hard.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
Lets pretend AD gets a quick hit off the first drive for six and the defense comes out and gets a pick six early in the first quarter followed up by a STs return for 6.
Yup, I think the QB is gonna get very few yards that game as the staff will pound it down the other teams throat for the rest of the game.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
07-10-2013, 01:00 PM #88Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
This could very well improve this year, especially if the team puts more focus on it. But I think we can all agree that it needs to improve.
Gentlemen Gentlemen The point is, IF Ponder does not pan out like I have a feeling he wont, would you rather do a blockbuster trade for Bridgewater, or the top QB in the 2014 class? Or trade for a potential franchise QB like Ryan Mallett or Kirk Cousins.
The thing is the Vikings took a flyer on a QB that they thought was smart, accurate, and played in a pro style offense. Ponder was a "Safe" pick to become an ok-decent starter! but they forgot about the number 1 thing when it comes to drafting NFL players... INTANGIBLES. Ponder doesnt have "IT" he never did even in college. Which is why he was projected as a good backup/average starter. The vikings thought they could take him and run the ball all day and do 5-15 yard passes all the way down the field. I believe they are realizing that this is a 70% passing league. I believe this year we are going to let Ponder fling the ball all around the field and see if he can blossom into a Good QB like Drew Brees did! Remember when Drew was a noodle arm QB in San Diego?
This team is honestly in great shape for the future. We have a TON of YOUNG talent. I think if we resign all our young talent and have ANOTHER good 2014 draft class we are set for the next 5-10 years to be good. We don't have many holes left to fill. NT/G/SS/OLB is all the "holes" we got left. Ponder has been given the keys to a team with a bright future, and HE KNOWS if he doesnt atleast show signs of becoming a top 16 QB he is out.
I just want to know what does the team do? The team is young enough to bring in a Rookie QB, but then thats another 2-3 years we are robbing of Adrian Peterson. OR we can trade for Ryan Mallett, my number 1 choice, and the guy I think we shouldve drafted back in 2011 anyway.. or Kirk Cousins from 2012.. Iono what we will do, but I wish we wouldve brought in a decent QB to make Ponder earn it instead of trying to boost his confidence by protecting him.. I think winning a competition is a better confidence booster than someone just handing you something.

Motorcyclist injured when he lays his bike down
May 3, 2013
News-Register Staff
A motorcyclist was injured Thursday afternoon when he laid his 2004 Harley-Davidson down to avoid rear-ending a vehicle, according to McMinnville police.
Sgt. Tim Symons identified the victim as Steve P. Farley, 60, of 16801 S.W. Masonville Road, McMinnville. He gave this account:
Farley was riding northbound in the 2100 block of N.E. Lafayette Ave. when he took evasive action to avoid crashing into a vehicle that was part of a line of vehicles.
He was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Cascade Steel Rolling Mills property and then flown by a Life Flight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He was reported in serious condition.
The incident remains under investigation and no citations have been issued. Officers have not had an opportunity to interview Farley, Symons said.

|This and That - The Dienstberger Foundation & Family
|Saturday, July 27, 2013 12:00 AM
Most residents of our fine community have heard of the Arnold C. Dienstberger Foundation and its generosity. In fact, we have all been touched by this foundation in one way or another through grants which have been awarded to the many organizations in the Delphos School District. However, did you know how this foundation was formed?
It all began back in 1963, when Arnold C. Dienstbeerger set up an irrevocable trust as a memorial of his wife, Emma, who passed away on the 31st day of July in 1963.
Arnold was born 12 March 1892 in Delphos to Charles and Rose (Wiedeman) Dienstberger. He married Emma Buchholtz on 2 December 1924. They each had several siblings but their marriage was not blessed with children. Emma was born in Middle Point, the daughter of Lewis and Mary Buchholtz. At the time of her death in 1963, she was survived by two brothers: Herman F. Buchholtz of Delphos and Charles L. Buchholtz of Van Wert; and two sisters, Mrs. Howard Hughes of Van Wert and Mrs. Anna Showalter of Fort Wayne. A brother and sister were deceased. Emma was a member of St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church, the American Lutheran Church Women and the Delphos Chapter No. 25, Order of the Eastern Star. Her burial was in the family mausoleum in the Walnut Grove Cemetery
Arnold spent most of his life in Delphos. At one time, the Dienstberger's made their home at 627 W. Fifth St. in Delphos. His siblings were Cedelia, who married A. O. Smith; William C., who married Zoe Dill; and Carl, who married Mollie Smith.
Arnold was a member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Delphos. He graduated from the University of Chicago Law School, was a veteran of World War I and a member of the Delphos American Legion and the Delphos Post 3035, VFW. He was a member of the Delphos Chapter 105 Royal Arch Masons, the Delphos Council 72 Royal and Select Masters, and a 50 year member of Hope Lodge 214, Free and Accepted Masons. Dienstberger purchased the City Fuel in 1924 from F. O. Brotherton and sold the business and retired in 1942. Arnold Dienstberger passed away 16 June ,1980, at the Delphos Memorial Home. Services were at the Lutheran Church with entombment in the family mausoleum at Walnut Grove Cemetery.
In 1964, Dienstberger made an offer of $76,500 to build the Delphos Memorial Home for the aged. The offer was conditional upon the residents of Delphos raising the additional funds necessary to construct and operate the home. The money was set aside in an irrevocable trust. The home would be self-sustaining. A group of Delphos and area residents had just formed an organization to build an old folks home at the intersection of US 30 North and South. Dienstberger was a member of that committee. The town raised a substantial amount of money for the project.
A timeline of the establishment of nursing homes in Delphos might be helpful:
1963 — Del Ward opened on West Third Street, named in honor of Mary Ward. George and Bertha Grothous were managers.
1966 — Del Ward was purchased by the Dienstberger Foundation.
1966 — The 50-bed Delphos Memorial Home was built.
1973 — An addition was added to The Del Ward Home from a donation by Dr. Chambers and named in honor of his wife, Sarah Jane Chambers.
1978 — A 50-bed expansion was added to the Memorial Home.
1998 — The Delphos Memorial Home and the Sarah Jane Nursing Home were sold to Vancrest.
Following the sale of these two homes, the money became part of The Arnold C. Dienstberger Foundation. The Foundation began giving grants in 1998. The grants for the first year amounted to $62,800. By 2010, the grants amounted to $300,000 and in 2011, it was $305,000. This past year 2012, the foundation gave $325,000 to a number of organizations in the Delphos School District. Since 1963, the Dienstberger Foundation has given away 3.6 million dollars.
The Delphos Swimming Pool was the recipient of a very generous gift of $50,000 for needed repairs to the wall of the pool. Without this grant, the wonderful pool, a WPA Project in the 1940s, might not have been able to open.
We should all be thankful to Arnold and Emma Dienstberger for this wonderful gift, and to the board of the foundation for their diligent monitoring of the whole of the foundation.
Current members of the board are Rick Miller, Bill Massa, Doug Harter, Nick Clark, Lonnie Miller, Doris Neumeier, Jerry Gilden and John Nomina.
Some recipients of the grants are The Delphos Police and Fire Departments, both the public and parochial schools, Stadium Project, Delphos Senior Citizen Center, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, The St. Vincent DePaul Society, The Delphos Christmas Project, The Delphos Canal Commission, The Postal Museum and the Concerts in the Park. The foundation also provided the money to purchase the land for the Veterans Memorial Park.
The immigrant ancestor of the Dienstberger families was Jacob, who arrived in 1850 at the age of 18.
The history of the Dienstberger Families will be continued on Aug. 10 in the Delphos Herald.

I'm not a huge video game guy, but I do buy The Show every year. Generally, I create a player and play in the Road To The Show - mainly because the Royals are awful in the game. (Just like real life. Weird.)
The release is about a week away and ratings have started to come out at Operation Sports. Obviously, this is a video game, not gospel, but I thought it would be fun to see how the Virtual Royals stack up against their competition.
Overall Team Rating
1. Detroit Tigers
2. St. Louis Cardinals
3. Boston Red Sox
4. Los Angeles Angels
5. Toronto Blue Jays
6. Texas Rangers
7. Washington Nationals
8. Atlanta Braves
9. Cincinnati Reds
10. Philadelphia Phillies
11. New York Yankees
12. Los Angeles Dodgers
13. Colorado Rockies
14. Chicago White Sox
15. Arizona Diamondbacks
16. Tampa Bay Rays
17. San Francisco Giants
18. Oakland Athletics
19. Kansas City Royals
20. Milwaukee Brewers
21. Baltimore Orioles
22. Pittsburgh Pirates
23. Seattle Mariners
24. Cleveland Indians
25. San Diego Padres
26. Minnesota Twins
27. Chicago Cubs
28. New York Mets
29. Miami Marlins
30. Houston Astros
This game must be huge in Boston. Because third best team? Ummmm, no. The Phillies crack the top 10 on the strength of The Youngs. The Wil Myers Rays are only three places ahead of the James Shields Royals.
Team Batting
1. Detroit Tigers
2. Los Angeles Angels
3. Colorado Rockies
4. Boston Red Sox
5. Texas Rangers
6. Toronto Blue Jays
7. Cincinnati Reds
8. St. Louis Cardinals
9. Washington Nationals
10. Los Angeles Dodgers
11. New York Yankees
12. Atlanta Braves
13. Philadelphia Phillies

24. Tampa Bay Rays
25. Miami Marlins
26. New York Mets
27. San Diego Padres
28. Minnesota Twins
29. Chicago Cubs
30. Houston Astros
Is that some sort of Coors Field effect pushing the Rockies to third? The Royals feel about right to me. A few breaks and they could push into the top half.
Team Pitching
1. Philadelphia Phillies
2. Washington Nationals
3. Atlanta Braves
4. St. Louis Cardinals
5. Tampa Bay Rays
6. New York Yankees
7. Toronto Blue Jays
8. Los Angeles Dodgers
9. San Francisco Giants
10. Boston Red Sox
11. Cincinnati Reds
12. Texas Rangers
13. Detroit Tigers
14. Los Angeles Angels

18. Kansas City Royals
19. San Diego Padres
20. Seattle Mariners
21. Cleveland Indians
22. Pittsburgh Pirates
23. Colorado Rockies
24. Milwaukee Brewers
25. Baltimore Orioles
26. Chicago Cubs
27. Minnesota Twins
28. New York Mets
29. Houston Astros
30. Miami Marlins
I shudder to think where the Royals would be without Shields and Davis. 20?
Team Defense
1. New York Yankees
2. Los Angeles Dodgers
3. Los Angeles Angels
4. Tampa Bay Rays
5. Cincinnati Reds
6. Philadelphia Phillies
7. Atlanta Braves
8. Chicago Cubs
9. Baltimore Orioles
10. San Francisco Giants
11. Texas Rangers
12. Washington Nationals
13. Colorado Rockies
14. St. Louis Cardinals
15. Boston Red Sox
16. Kansas City Royals
17. Arizona Diamondbacks
18. San Diego Padres
19. Detroit Tigers
20. Houston Astros
21. Pittsburgh Pirates
22. Cleveland Indians
23. Seattle Mariners
24. Oakland Athletics
25. Miami Marlins
26. Toronto Blue Jays
27. Minnesota Twins
28. Milwaukee Brewers
29. Chicago White Sox
30. New York Mets
Jeter! The Royals rating feels correct in the middle of the pack. The right side of the field is a drag.
And finally, Royals player ratings:
It's like the developers read this blog. Shields and then a bunch of number four starters. No way is Hochevar that high.
Gordon the third highest rating? No. Francoeur eight points higher than Hosmer? No. Getz higher than Moustakas? No. At least they got Butler right.
Ratings be damned, I'll be buying this game. Along with the Baseball America Prospect Guide and the Baseball Prospectus Annual, this is a rite of my spring.

Internet Retailer Proudly Introduces the 2013 Asia 500 Guide
Ranking the Leaders of Online Retailing in one of the World's Largest and Fastest-Growing E-Commerce Markets

In China alone, online retail sales are projected to reach an estimated $408.8 billion by 2016, according to Barclay's Bank and other international e-commerce research firms. There are a myriad of dynamic forces afoot that propel e-retailing toward such explosive growth in this key region. In just a few short years, the number of web shoppers in China and India could total in the hundreds of millions and mobile commerce could soon account for at least 25% of all sales in mature direct-to-consumer e-commerce markets such as Japan and South Korea.
But little information has been available concerning the top web merchants in such key markets as Australia, China, India, Japan and others, let alone an objective assessment of their progress.
Until now.
Count on Internet Retailer to deliver those kinds of analytics with the debut of this industry-first publication: the brand-new 2013 Asia 500.
At 320 pages, this comprehensive e-commerce research publication profiles the 500 largest retail web sites ranked by annual sales in Asia, Australia and elsewhere across the Pacific Rim. The rankings include financial, operating and full corporate contact information, including the name and title of the executive in charge of web retailing. Sure to become an indispensable industry reference, this guide profiles regional retailing leaders such as China's 360.com and Yihaodian (now 51% owned by Wal-Mart Inc.); Japan's Rakuten.com, Australia's Coles.com.au and Flipkart.com, India's answer to Amazon.
