Arlen Specter, longtime Senate moderate and architect of 1-bullet theory in JFK death, dies
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- For most of his 30 years as Pennsylvania's longest-serving U.S. senator and prominent moderate in Congress, Arlen Specter was a Republican, though often at odds with the GOP leadership.
He helped end the Supreme Court hopes of former federal appeals Judge Robert H. Bork, who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan. Decades later, he was one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for President Barack Obama's economic stimulus.
His breaks with his party were hardly a surprise: He had begun his political career as a Democrat and ended it as one, too.
In between, he was at the heart of several major American political events. He rose to prominence in the 1960s as an assistant counsel to the Warren Commission, developing the single-bullet theory in President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He came to the Senate in the Reagan landslide of 1980 and was a key voice in the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of both Bork and Clarence Thomas.
Specter died Sunday died at his home in Philadelphia from complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, said his son Shanin. He was 82. Over the years, Specter had fought two previous bouts with Hodgkin lymphoma, overcome a brain tumor and survived cardiac arrest following bypass surgery.
Obama, Romney skip campaigning Sunday to focus on preparing for next debate, Tuesday in NY
BURLINGTON, Mass. (AP) -- As Mitt Romney's campaign claimed new momentum in the race for the White House, President Barack Obama's political advisers on Sunday promised the incumbent would unleash his more aggressive side in Tuesday's debate to prevent their Republican rival from delivering another "magical and theatrical performance."
Obama and Romney hunkered down in private debate preparation for much of the day as aides offered a pre-debate sparring match on television.
They disagreed on much, but agreed that Romney bested Obama in their first meeting nearly two weeks ago -- a performance that shifted the direction of a race that had favored the president but has since tightened in national and battleground state polls.
"He knows Mitt Romney had a better night at the first debate," Obama spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said of the president. "The American people should expect to see a much more energized President Obama."
Ed Gillespie, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, quipped that the former Massachusetts governor would be prepared regardless of Obama's adjustments: "The president can change his style. He can change his tactics. He can't change his record."

Record-breaking skydiver Felix Baumgartner says it's "hard to describe because you don't feel it" after his 833.9 mph jump from 24 miles above Earth.
Daredevil skydiver breaks sound barrier in record 24-mile leap over New Mexico desert
ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) -- In a giant leap from more than 24 miles up, a daredevil skydiver shattered the sound barrier Sunday while making the highest jump ever -- a tumbling, death-defying plunge from a balloon to a safe landing in the New Mexico desert.
Felix Baumgartner hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to preliminary data, and became the first person to reach supersonic speed without traveling in a jet or a spacecraft after hopping out of a capsule that had reached an altitude of 128,100 feet above the Earth.
Landing on his feet in the desert, the man known as "Fearless Felix" lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of jubilant friends and spectators who closely followed his descent in a live television feed at the command center
"When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data," he said after the jump. "The only thing you want is to come back alive."
A worldwide audience watched live on the Internet via cameras mounted on his capsule as Baumgartner, wearing a pressurized suit, stood in the doorway of his pod, gave a thumbs-up and leapt into the stratosphere.
AP PHOTOS: Skydiver breaks speed of sound in 24-mile-high jump
Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner became the first skydiver to break the speed of sound in a 24-mile-high jump from a balloon on Sunday, reaching 833.9 mph in a free fall that lasted some 9 minutes.
Landing on his feet in the New Mexico desert, the man known as "Fearless Felix" lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of onlookers and friends.
"When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data," he said after the jump. "The only thing you want is to come back alive."
"Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are," an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters outside mission control after safely returning to Earth.
Here's a gallery of photos from Baumgartner's leap into the record books.
Human rights group accuses Syrian air force of dropping cluster bombs on its own people
BEIRUT (AP) -- The Syrian regime was accused Sunday of dropping cluster bombs -- indiscriminate scattershot munitions banned by most nations -- in a new sign of desperation and disregard for its own people.
The international group Human Rights Watch cited amateur video and testimony from the front lines in making the allegation against the government of President Bashar Assad.
Syria and Turkey, meanwhile, declared their skies off-limits to each other amid mounting cross-border tensions in Syria's 19-month-old conflict, now a civil war. Turkey is an outspoken backer of rebels trying to oust Assad.
The weekend's mutual ban on overflights is part of Turkey's increasingly assertive stance toward Syria that has stirred concerns about a regional conflagration. In the past two weeks, Turkey has retaliated for stray Syrian shells and mortar rounds, intercepted a Syrian passenger plane on suspicion it carried military equipment, and -- according to a Turkish newspaper Sunday -- sent more warships to naval bases north of the Syrian coastline.
Inside Syria, rebel fighters and regime forces have been locked in a bloody stalemate for weeks, with rebels holding large rural stretches in the heavily populated western area, but unable to dislodge Assad's troops from urban centers. During the summer, the regime escalated shelling and airstrikes on rebel-held neighborhoods.
At CDC, scientists fight fungus blamed for meningitis outbreak linked to steroid injections
ATLANTA (AP) -- Scattered across the carefully landscaped main campus of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are the staff on the front lines fighting a rare outbreak of fungal meningitis: A scientist in a white lab coat peers through a microscope at fungi on a glass slide. In another room, another researcher uses what looks like a long, pointed eye dropper to suck up DNA samples that will be tested for the suspect fungus.
Not far away in another building is the emergency operations center, which is essentially the war room. There's a low hum of voices as employees work the phones, talking to health officials, doctors and patients who received potentially contaminated pain injections believed to be at the root of the outbreak. Workers sit at rows of computers, gathering data, advising doctors and reaching out to thousands of people who may have been exposed. Overall, dozens of people are working day and night to bring the outbreak under control. More than 200 people in 14 states have been sickened, including 15 who have died.
There is a sense of urgency -- people are dying, and lives could be saved if those who are sickened get treated in time. But it's not a race against a fast-spreading illness like avian flu or SARS -- or even the fictional virus the CDC fails to unravel in the popular TV series "The Walking Dead." Unlike those outbreaks, this strain of meningitis isn't contagious and doesn't spread between people. It is likely isolated to the contaminated steroid, produced by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass.
"This is a very unusual infection," said Dr. John Jernigan, a CDC medical epidemiologist who is leading the clinical investigation team for the outbreak response. "So, treatment recommendations, diagnostic recommendations are all going to be new, and we're learning as we go on this one."
Meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, is not uncommon. But it is usually caused by bacteria, and it is very unusual to see it in patients with normal immune systems, Jernigan said. This strain is caused by a fungus that is common in dirt and grasses -- people routinely come into contact with it without getting sick -- but it has never before been identified as the cause of meningitis.
Space shuttle Endeavour arrives at Los Angeles museum after 12-mile trip across city
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It was supposed to be a slow but smooth journey to retirement, a parade through city streets for a shuttle that logged millions of miles in space.
But Endeavour's final mission turned out to be a logistical headache that delayed its arrival to its museum resting place by about 17 hours.
After a 12-mile weave past trees and utility poles that included thousands of adoring onlookers, flashing cameras and even the filming of a TV commercial, Endeavour arrived at the California Science Center Sunday to a greeting party of city leaders and other dignitaries that had expected it many hours earlier.
Endeavour was still inching toward a hangar on the grounds of the museum mid-Sunday afternoon.
"It's like Christmas!" said Mark Behn, 55, a member of the museum ground support team who watched the shuttle's snail-like approach from inside the hangar. "We've waited so long and been told so many things about when it would get here. But here it is, and it's a dream come true."
Sanchez's pitching, missed call by ump help Tigers beat Yankees 3-0 for 2-0 lead in ALCS
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers got a big boost from Anibal Sanchez's arm. They got a helping hand from an umpire, too.
The reward: a commanding 2-0 lead in the AL championship series, and a trip home with their ace ready to start.
Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus injured Derek Jeter, Detroit scored twice after an admitted missed call by an ump and won without any extra-inning drama, beating New York 3-0 Sunday.
"He was terrific," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "This is a tough place to pitch with a tough lineup and a short porch. And a whole bunch of left-handed hitters, it is not easy. That was quite a feat."
New York starter Hiroki Kuroda pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning to keep pace with Sanchez. But Robinson Cano and the slumping Yankees hitters were no match for the 28-year-old right-hander a day after its captain broke his ankle in the 12th inning of a 6-4 loss.
Aaron Rodgers sets career and ties franchise mark with 6 TDs in 42-24 rout of Texans
HOUSTON (AP) -- Aaron Rodgers set a career high and tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes, three to Jordy Nelson, and the Green Bay Packers routed the previously unbeaten Houston Texans 42-24 on Sunday night.
James Jones caught two touchdown passes for the Packers (3-3). Tom Crabtree had the other one, a 48-yarder that Rodgers threw just before taking a hit from Houston linebacker Brooks Reed.
Rodgers completed 24 of 37 passes for 338 yards. He tied Matt Flynn's game record for TD passes, set in last year's regular-season finale against Detroit.
The Texans (5-1) came in with the league's third-ranked defense. Arian Foster scored two touchdowns for Houston.

The new Kardashian Christmas card has so much imagery it's like studying a Rembrandt painting. But luckily Conan O'Brien studied it for us and found the hidden message. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with the holidays.
The new wonder woman has been announced and she's red hot Israeli actress Gal Gidot. Warner Bros. made the announcement the 28-year-old will play the most iconic female super hero in the new Batman V. Superman movie. She's not only an actress/model she was Miss Israel 2004 and starred in the Fast and Furious movies. Mazel Tov, Gal!
Gillian Anderson wants European Parliament to stop dangerous deep sea fishing. To make her point, she draped a dead eel around her neck and posed topless for a "Fishlove" ad campaign. They're like PETA for ocean creatures. We don't know if she got parliament's attention but she sure got ours. Are eel scarves the new lettuce bikinis?

The Rush County Commissioners met April 22 and following a moment of silence for former county commissioner Dewight Sweet, the trio of Bruce Levi, Mark Bacon and Ken Masters were faced with a number of county-related matters.
County surveyor Marvin Rees said that the courthouse clock is again working but is still in need of additional work. According to Rees, the additional repairs are dependant on parts that have not yet been received.
County highway superintendent Jerry Sitton was next to have the floor and presented the county leaders with his annual report. According to Sitton, the report submitted was similar to the one submitted a year earlier.
The highway superintendent then turned his attention to a couple of road improvement projects.
The contract with INDOT was extended to 2014 regarding the Carthage Pike improvement project. Sitton then said that nearly all of the right-of-way required for the project has now been acquired, although permits for the Blue River area of road improvement are still being sought to complete the work to the Carthage town limits.

My F150 has been stubborn for some time when I try to turn on the ignition switch-- which also unlocks the steering wheel and the transmission selector lever. I assumed that it was the steering wheel lock that was the problem. WRONG! Unknown to me at that time is that the lock cylinders are the problem. Used on several years of light trucks and perhaps on Crown Vics also. I knew how easy it is to remove the cylinder (internet search shows lots of how -to).
Short of it is that if your Ford lock is getting stubborn, replace it- don't lube it- it may stick worse after the lube. And shop for best price for the new one. I bought the cheapest on eBay and it works fine- I could have paid over 4 times more and probably get the same part. Not exactly like the original but perfectly usable.

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — Old National Bancorp (NASDAQ: ONB) reported a third quarter net income of $23.9 million or 23 cents per share. "These results represent a 21.3 percent increase over the net income of $19.7 million or 20 cents per share reported in the third quarter 2012," according to Kate Miller, community relations manager.
The company's third quarter results were impacted by $2.3 million of charges related to the July 12 merger and integration of 24 former Bank of America branches in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan. In addition, as part of Old National's transformation into higher-growth markets, the company incurred $2.7 million in costs associated with branch closures during the current quarter.
Bob Jones, president and chief executive officer, noted, "Our third quarter results, specifically our strong credit metrics and stable net interest margin, reinforce Old National's position as a strong, secure and well-capitalized community bank. Additionally, the completion of our Bank of America branch acquisition and the announcement of our partnership with Fort Wayne-based Tower Financial reflect our continued focus on seeking growth opportunities that benefit our clients and shareholders."
Old National Bancorp's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.10 per share on the company's outstanding shares. This dividend is payable Dec. 16 to shareholders of record Dec. 2.

|Kalida 'D' stymies Jefferson
|Monday, December 17, 2012 3:39 PM
By JIM METCALFE
KALIDA — Jefferson head boys basketball coach Marc Smith fully expected what Kalida's defensive game plan would be come Saturday night in their non-conference tussle at the Wildcat Den; use a variety of zones to shut down junior forward Ross Thompson inside and force his Wildcats to shoot from the perimeter.
Knowing what to expect and executing against it are two different things as the Red and White found out in faltering 38-29.
The story: 9-of-35 shooting from the floor, including 4-of-22 downtown, for 25.7 percent. Freshman Trey Smith led the offense with nine points and senior Zach Ricker added eight, while Thompson was limited to four (10 boards).
"I have coached here for eight years and it's what we see when we go against Kalida. They take their chances that you won't hit a lot of outside shots; they play the percentages and it works for them," Coach Smith explained. "We just couldn't make shots. Pretty much anyone we have out there has a green light and I know they are capable of shooting well form the perimeter. As the game wore on, the confidence went down, too, as you'd expect from young kids; we even tried to attack the basket and get to the line but that wasn't very successful, either. We kept preaching at every dead ball and timeout to keep shooting with confidence. We tried inside-out and penetrate-and-kick and we simply couldn't knock down shots."
It wasn't as if the home Wildcats (3-2) were hot from the floor; they canned 14-of-36 (2-of-12 long range) for 38.9 percent, with senior Austin Horstman notching 10 and sophomore Devin Kortokrax adding nine.
"We're a work in progress. We try to build form the defensive end anyway because we aren't a good offensive team right now," long-time Kalida coach Dick Kortokrax said. "We're thankful for any win right now and that's no slight to Jefferson; they play awfully hard and Coach Smith does a great job with them but they are going through the same things as we are as far as having young and inexperienced teams. We can compete well with teams going through the same situation as we are, like Perry."
Smith scored the first five points of the night: a 3-ball and two free throws; in the first minute before Horstman got the hosts on the board to jump-start an 8-0 run to give Kalida the lead for good on a jumper from the left elbow by Kortokrax at the 4:04 mark. Kortokrax drove for a deuce at 1:58 for a 10-7 edge before Smith hit an off-balance runner at 1:40 for a 10-9 Jefferson deficit.
Kalida used a mix of 1-2-2 and 2-3 zones and a 2-2-1 nuisance press most of the way, while Delphos employed a man-to-man scheme. Both teams ended up needing to run a deliberate offense as very few shots were uncontested.
However, that only led to a Jeffcat drought that lasted 5:44. By the time they scored again on a free throw by Smith at 3:56, Kalida's lead was 16-10. When junior Randy Zeller hit a third-chance putback at the 3-minute mark, the Maroon and White's lead was 18-10. However, junior Austin Jettinghoff hit a trifecta at 2:32 and Thompson a putback with 2.1 ticks on the board to get within 18-15.
Kalida slowly — very slowly — built up a 24-15 lead in the third canto as the Jeffcats missed all eight shots they took in the period and turned it over three times (10 for the game versus Kalida's 8). Kalida started to get into a bit of foul trouble as three starters picked up their third fouls during the span and also struggled shooting the ball against the Delphos man "D", hitting 2-of-8. Jefferson's only point in the stanza was a free toss by Ricker at 1:11 to account for the 24-16 scoreboard as the game went to the fourth period.
The visitors tried to rally and began to heat up some in the finale. They hit three of their first five shots: Jettinghoff triple, Ricker 8-footer and Ricker 3-ball; to get within 27-24 at the 4:22 mark. However, they could get no closer. A key 4-0 mini-spurt: baskets by Horstman and senior Cody Mathew; put Jefferson behind 33-24 and, having been assessed only three fouls the second half to that point (9 for the game versus 15), were forced to foul to extend the game and get Kalida into the 1-and-1. Kalida notched 5-of-6 in the last 1:36 (9-of-10 for the game for 90% versus 7-of-13 for Jefferson for 53.8%).
Jefferson (1-4) totaled 24 caroms (8 offensive) as sophomore Nick Fitch added six. They will visit Ottoville for a varsity-only contest starting 7 p.m. Tuesday.
"Defensively, our effort was outstanding after having a terrible effort against Crestview last night. Our defense gave us a chance to win this game despite our struggles offensively," Coach Smith added. "We did a nice job on Horstman inside. We handled the ball fairly well and we rebounded with them. We did a lot of good things tonight except for shooting and the effort was outstanding."
Kalida secured 27 boards (6 offensive) as Horstman grabbed six and junior Adam Langhals five. Kalida visits Lincolnview Friday.
"Once we started to get to the line, we hit them. We were 16-of-20 against Pandora-Gilboa the other night, another team in a rebuilding mode," Coach Kortokrax added. "We play awfully hard — that can't be questioned on either team's part — but for us, we need to play smarter. Again, that is part of the process we are going through right now."
In junior varsity action, Kalida's moved to 5-0 with a 54-37 conquest.
Freshman Trent Gerding led the victors with 11.
For the Jeffcats (1-4), freshman Dalton Hicks netted 11.

The Commission adopted the Federal Capital Improvements Program for the National Capital Region, Fiscal Years 2012-2017 (FCIP) and directed staff to provide copies to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), regional jurisdictions, and other interested parties. Through the document the agency provides OMB with NCPC's funding recommendations for federal public works over a six year period. Adoption of the FCIP does not provide approval of projects included within.
This year's FCIP contains 142 projects submitted by 14 federal agencies with an estimated cost of $5.3 billion. The Department of the Army has the most projects with 44 and the Department of Agriculture is second with 13. Of the projects, 29 are in the District of Columbia, 27 in Maryland, and 57 in Virginia. NCPC submitted 29 projects for future programming.

The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) approved preliminary site and building plans, final site utility plans, and final support of excavation and dewatering plans for the National Museum of African American History and Culture. In its approval the agency commended the Smithsonian for addressing prior agency concerns related to building size, lighting and landscape design As a result, the preliminary plans see a reduction in the overall size of the building, the south entry porch facing Madison Drive, NW, and a water feature adjacent to Constitution Avenue, NW. A previously proposed skylight on the 15th Street, NW side of the building was removed.
The Commission also adopted a Record of Decision under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that noted that the Smithsonian Institution responded to NCPC's previous comments and recommendations for the museum's design. The Commission further noted that the Smithsonian adopted all practical means for avoiding or minimizing potential environmental harm by the new museum and put in place mitigation measures to address any potential unanticipated impacts.
The 373,798 square-foot museum will be located on an approximately five-acre site on Constitution Avenue between 14th and 15th Streets, NW. The design will come back before NCPC for final site and building plans at some point in late summer 2012.

Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth! Okay, while we think that Wednesday's Child ranks right up there, in this case we are talking about the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus! And this week, these two shows team up to bring you stars Carlos (1999), Kelly (2001), Selena (2003), Cuauhtémoc (2004) and Damien (2005) -- a sibling set in LA County foster care who need a permanent audience in the form of a forever family.
Whatever the act or activity these five get into, eldest brother Carlos is usually setting the tone while the others follow. But Carlos also keeps a watchful eye on his younger siblings and could earn the description of being "the responsible one". And if Carlos is the responsible one, one might say that Kelly is the affectionate one, Selena the shy but expressive one, Cuauhtémoc the friendly one and Damien the energetic one that never seems to fail at energizing the others. For Carlos, tending to his own needs as well as playing big brother to the other four can be a tough balancing act – but he doesn't mind being a "good act" for his siblings to follow.
While the circus is only in town for a short stay, these five siblings need a permanent place to call home.

Placer County prosecutors Suzanne Gazzaniga and David Tellman have been honored by PEACE for Families for their efforts to combat domestic violence.
The two received the award at the agency's third annual "Have a Heart for PEACE Gala" held Feb. 12 at Catta Verdera Country Club in Lincoln.
It was the latest honor received by Gazzaniga and Tellman, two senior deputy district attorneys who won statewide and countywide awards as "Prosecutors of the Year" in 2009 for their successful prosecution in a nearly 27-year murder mystery.
Michelle Coleman, executive director of PEACE for Families, praised the two prosecutors for their hard work in cases involving domestic violence.
"The only way to end the legacy of domestic violence is through collaborations with our partners," Coleman said. "Our two honorees are perfect examples of that."
Gazzaniga and Tellman gained a conviction in the trial of Paul R. Kovacich, a former Placer County sheriff's sergeant whose wife's murder had gone unsolved since her disappearance from her Auburn home in 1982.
The body of Janet Kovacich was never found. Only the top portion of her skull was discovered in a dry lake bed in Colfax in 1995. The skull had a bullet hole in it.
Relying largely on circumstantial evidence, Gazzaniga and Tellman were able to tie the victim's murder to her husband, whom witnesses portrayed as abusive and controlling toward his wife.
In a trial that stretched over a four-month period that ended in January 2009, the jury convicted Paul Kovacich on a charge of first-degree murder. He is now serving a state prison sentence of 27 years to life.
Gazzaniga and Tellman were named "Prosecutors of the Year" last June by the California District Attorneys Association and won a similar honor from Placer County in November.
Their newest award comes from a nonprofit agency in Placer County that serves victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
PEACE for Families offers a 24-hour crisis line, sexual assault/domestic violence emergency response, counseling, transitional housing and an emergency shelter for battered women and their children. Educational presentations and community workshops are also among its services.

Albert Pujols is a free agent. He's available. He's available to anyone and everyone. Albert Pujols has a lifetime four-digit OPS, and in a down season last year - a season that had many wondering if Pujols had much left in the tank - his OPS was .906, and he followed that up with an amazing playoffs. You'd think, based on that knowledge, that Pujols would be the object of everybody's desire.
In truth, Pujols appears to have a very limited number of suitors. At least for the time being. And Pujols' agent, Dan Lozano, has met or is meeting with all of them Monday. First, from Ken Rosenthal:
#Cubs met today with Pujols' agent, Dan Lozano. No word on nature of talks.
Next, from Clark Spencer:
#marlins just finished 30 minute meeting with pujols agent
And finally, from Jon Heyman:
Cardinals gm mozeliak confirms @joestrauss report he's talking to pujols agent today. Word is, cards have little room to move
The Chicago Cubs, the Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals. These are the three teams currently chasing after Pujols, or at least the three teams most aggressively chasing after Pujols. It's been reported that the Cardinals have already offered him nine years and about $200 million. The Marlins made a smaller offer before, but could and probably will come up with a bigger one. As for the Cubs, Danny Knobler hears that they might offer bigger money over fewer years.
So that's that. I wouldn't expect Pujols to settle real soon. And, yeah, the Marlins. The Marlins and Albert Pujols, even after signing Heath Bell and Jose Reyes. Did I mention that the Marlins are looking to sign C.J. Wilson or Mark Buehrle too? The Marlins are trying to do what people always accuse the Yankees of doing even though the Yankees never do this. This is the weirdest offseason.

PHOENIX (AP) - A Peoria man accused in a fatal stabbing at a Glendale park earlier this month has pleaded not guilty in the case.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 23-year-old Andrew Patrick Aschenbrenner entered his plea Thursday. His next scheduled court date is Aug. 7.
Glendale police believe Aschenbrenner stabbed 23-year-old Darrick Michael Hendrix Jr. during a fight June 5 at Sahuaro Ranch Park.
Hendrix was from Glendale.
Police say Aschenbrenner was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder.
They say another 23-year-old man was stabbed in the incident, but he was treated at a hospital and released.

WZVG-AM to broadcast Charlotte 49ers games
- Staff Charlotte Business Journal
The Charlotte 49ers have agreed to a three-year deal with WZVG-AM to serve as the flagship radio station for basketball broadcasts. And the contract will expand to football broadcasts in 2013, when UNC Charlotte fields its first team in the sport.
The school recently broke ground for a $45 million, 15,000-seat stadium and practice complex, after hiring Brad Lambert its first head football coach.
"We couldn't be more excited to begin a long-term relationship with the Charlotte 49ers," says Lanny Ford, general manager at WZVG, known as Fox Sports 730 AM. "We are thrilled to be the home of a basketball program with such a strong tradition. And to be chosen to be part of history with the launch of 49ers football in 2013 is huge."
The agreement, negotiated by the 49ers media-rights holder Signature Sports Group Inc., calls for WZVG to carry Charlotte 49ers men's basketball games and The Alan Major Show for the next two years.
In the third year, the agreement will expand to include the 49ers football broadcasts and The Brad Lambert Show.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Embarkation went well for my immediate family as we were in a suite. My aunt had an issue with not having a letter for her grandson to travel with her. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to board but NCL was great in my opinion as they worked with her to get a letter from her daughter faxed to the terminal. Another good reason to arrive early to the port, you will have time to deal with any unexpected issues.
Our cabin was an SC (former AB) #11012. It was the nicest cabin I have ever had and I miss it every day since :( Cagney's for breakfast and lunch was great. MDR meals was very good in my opinion and I AM A FOODIE! Buffet was good, the only thing was the soft serve was gross as always. Shows we saw were Worldbeat, Man from Mars and Get Down Tonight. All were good. Bingo was fun, first time I had ever played. Didn't win but has a good time. The ship was in great shape and the crew was excellent. Pools could have been warmer and a big "thanks" to whoever put their child with a diaper in the family pool. It was closed a day due to feces. People are just so selfish. I've been there with an infant/toddler and never considered such an absurdity. My daughter was obsessed with the slide and used it about 50 times! LOL Bowling was fun too :)
Had a great time and look forward to sailing NCL again soon

The Eureka, the first diamond found in South Africa, was discovered less than 30 miles away and within a few years, the mining town of Kimberley had become the centre of Africa's first diamond "rush."
The largest rough diamond recovered here was a 93-carat stone that produced a 45 carat gem. Our own full scale mining operations ended here in the last century, however we continue to be active at Kimberley, recovering diamonds and helping to run The Big Hole, a world class tourism facility we developed.
Today, more than 100 years after it was first mined, we are still recovering diamonds from Kimberley's tailings dumps. We expect our diamond recovery operations to continue through 2023.
In partnership with the Northern Cape provincial government and the Sol Plaatje municipality, we continue to explore opportunities to improve the region and alleviate poverty through job creation.

WR Andre Johnson left the Texans' Tuesday morning practice with a dislocated left index finger, according to PFW Texans correspondent John McClain.
Johnson was running a slant route in an individual drill and leaped to catch a pass, with rookie CB Rashad Carmichael defending. The five-time Pro Bowler was unable to come down with the ball and came down shaking his left hand. He took off his glove and walked to the sideline, where a trainer examined him. He left the field on a cart.
Following the practice, head coach Gary Kubiak told reporters that he didn't know the severity of the injury but remained hopeful that Johnson would participate in the team's afternoon workout. McClain says that the finger was popped back into place and bandaged.
The way we see it
Depending on the severity of the injury, this could be a little bump in the road for Johnson and the Texans or a big problem for the team's top receiver and the offense as a whole if he were to be sidelined for a substantial amount of time.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Aug. 3, 2006) — Habitat for Humanity and Bank of America will celebrate their 20-year partnership by dedicating the milestone 100th house built under the McColl Habitat Project. Named for former chairman and CEO Hugh McColl Jr., Bank of America announced in 2001 a commitment to fund the building of 120 Habitat houses in the United States and an additional 100 houses internationally.
Fittingly, the project's 100th home is in the same city as its first — Charlotte, N.C., where the bank is headquartered. The partnership between Bank of America and Habitat for Humanity began 20 years ago, when McColl's commitment to Habitat turned the 2-year-old Jimmy Carter Work Project into a 14-house "blitz build" in Charlotte and the first worldwide House Raising Week, resulting in the construction of more than 250 homes.
"Habitat for Humanity International has been blessed by this partnership with Bank of America," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "By sponsoring 120 houses around the United States, Bank of America has enlisted the involvement of its banking centers with local Habitat affiliates. The volunteer hours and the local relationships that have been generated go far beyond their generous financial contribution."
The "100th Bank of America Habitat House" will provide affordable housing to Nohora Martinez. Martinez moved from Colombia in 2002 and is currently working two jobs and living in an apartment in Charlotte. As required of all applicants to the Habitat program, Martinez will complete 250 hours of "sweat equity" at the work site before closing on her new home.
"At Bank of America, we truly value the dedication, compassion and will of the volunteers from our company, the Habitat for Humanity staff, and Mr. McColl — whose vision and leadership through the past 20 years have given hundreds of families a place to call home," said Andrew Plepler, president, Bank of America Charitable Foundation. "Building affordable housing in partnership with deserving families is essential to building stronger, more secure families, and in turn securing stronger, healthier communities for the future."
The contributions made by Bank of America have significantly helped Habitat approach another milestone that will be achieved later this summer, serving 700 families in Charlotte.
"It was an honor to be chosen as the site for the first 10 homes built by the employees of Bank of America under the McColl Project, and an equal honor to be chosen as the building site for the 100th home," said Bert Green, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte.
What began as a house sponsorship program has become an expanding and multifaceted partnership. Bank of America has donated roughly $10 million to Habitat for Humanity International since 2002. The corporation has given $600,000 to Operation Home Delivery, Habitat's hurricane recovery project, and $200,000 to local affiliates to increase building capacity. In addition, during the past five years, more than 20,000 bank volunteers from across the country have participated in the building of Habitat for Humanity homes.

Arts campaign update
by Karen Katz '74, communications director
Catlin Gabel plans to build a new Middle and Upper School arts facility, something the school has needed for a long time. So far architect Brad Cloepfil and his Allied Works team have developed preliminary designs, and we are in the leadership stage of fundraising. Here Lark answers some important questions about the project.
Why we are building an arts center
What are the educational benefits of studying art, especially if you aren't an artsy person?
Beginning School parent, noted artist, and Rhode Island School of Design alumnus Michael Lazarus explained it beautifully when he said, "We are developing one of the most important tools: a creative, problem-solving mind. The process of art making is great practice for life!"
We know that art education strengthens overall academic achievement and school success. Studies show that young people who participate in the arts are:
- Four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
- Four times more likely to participate in a math and science fair
- Four times more likely to win an award for writing an essay or poem
And, compared with their peers who do not take art classes they:
- Read for pleasure nearly twice as often
- Perform community service more than four times as often
In a still challenging economy, can we afford to invest resources in the arts?
One hallmark of a Catlin Gabel education is innovation. Another is our dedication to a comprehensive liberal arts and sciences curriculum. The arts are central to innovation and a well-rounded education. We cannot afford to ignore the arts. Can you imagine Stanford or MIT neglecting the arts? That would be unthinkable! In fact, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and Pomona are raising money for arts facilities. We're in fine company. Don't think of this as investing in a building; we're investing in our students.
What are the arts requirements at Catlin Gabel?
The arts are integral to our program schoolwide. Creative study is central to our mission. We require all students to be involved in the arts throughout their time at the school. Beginning and Lower School students take art, music, and woodshop. Middle School students rotate through a full complement of arts classes in drama, music, woodshop, fine art, and media arts. Upper School students are required to take at least two years of art — many take three or four years — and choose from a wide array of classes.
What does the future of the arts look like at Catlin Gabel?
Lower School head Vicki Roscoe is leading a two-year curriculum review of the arts. Arts teachers are working with Vicki to investigate best practice in arts education, examine the role of technology in the arts, and explore the role arts play in cross-disciplinary studies. We are excited that the curriculum review coincides with the arts center project, because it allows our teachers to think big.
Project nuts and bolts
I thought the arts center was going to be built two years ago. Why was the project delayed?
The economy! While a handful of generous families stepped forward, the downturn in the economy delayed the larger fundraising effort.
Where are we in the process?
We have selected an architect, approved a preliminary schematic design, formed a volunteer campaign committee, and secured some important lead gifts. Fundraising is one of my top priorities this year.
When will shovels go in the ground?
The board of trustees determined that we would only break ground when 80 percent of the funds are raised. The facility will cost $6.9 million total. We need about $4.1 million more to proceed. We hope to break ground next year; construction will take about 15 months.
Tell us more about the architect.
Brad Cloepfil and his team at Allied Works Architecture are known nationwide and are becoming internationally known for designing facilities that fuel creativity. An early local project example is the Wieden + Kennedy Agency headquarters in Portland. Current parent Renny Gleeson, global director of digital strategies at Wieden + Kennedy, describes their building as a spa for the soul. Allied Works also designed the Seattle Art Museum expansion, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas.
Brad Cloepfil studied with Thomas Hacker, who created Catlin Gabel's master plan in 1996, designed most of the Upper School buildings and grounds, and remodeled the Beginning School. It is fitting that Tom and Brad's teacher-student relationship will be reflected on our campus.
How would you describe the early schematic design?
Brad Cloepfil and Allied Works has sketched out an elegant yet simple, open facility that will attract spectators, art dabblers, and serious artists alike. We've joked about naming the building the Magnet! The design includes an outdoor courtyard that mirrors the Upper School quad and an indoor gallery, both of which will serve as community gathering spots.
What will the new arts center house?
Middle and Upper School classrooms, including fine arts and media arts studios, vocal and instrumental classrooms, a computer music lab and music rehearsal rooms, a gallery, and an intimate black box theater with a spring floor for classes, rehearsals, and performances. The facility will be a great venue for interdisciplinary studies, collaborative project work, and independent study.
How will the building accommodate changes in the arts curriculum?
Allied Works is especially thoughtful about how arts education has changed and will change in ways we cannot even predict. Their design emphasizes flexibility so that different disciplines can be accommodated. The plans call for raw studio space that is like an artists' retreat. The students and teachers who use the spaces will influence how they are used. A studio might house a filmmaking class one year and a painting class the next. The black box will be a haven for drama, dance, and music. For the first time students will be able to collaborate across disciplines on a single project, in the same space.
The Cabell Center is in great shape. Why do we need a black box theater?
The Cabell Center is in high demand for performances, classes, lectures, formal presentations, meetings, assemblies, rehearsals, and community events. It doesn't accommodate our needs the way it did when it was built in 1973. For example, the Cabell Center is not available for the 19 performances produced by Middle School students each year. They make do in Chipmunk Hollow, a cramped and inadequate "temporary" building that was put up 42 years ago. The Middle School drama program will move to classrooms in the new arts center. Upper School students will also take classes in the new classrooms. Students in grades 6 – 12 will perform in the black box. The intimate size and flexibility of a black box is something we've needed for a long time, and will open up possibilities in our theater curriculum.
What is the location for the new arts center?
The building site is west of the Dant House and adjacent to the Middle and Upper School areas of campus. The building will link the Middle and Upper Schools, benefiting older and younger students academically, artistically, and socially. For the first time, Catlin Gabel will have a building that allows the arts faculty to work together in a central location. (Scroll down to see PDF of current arts facilities across campus.)
Will the new building free up space for other programs?
Most immediately, our computer science classes will no longer share space with media arts classes in the lower level of the library. It's premature to make plans for the other 4,200 square feet of classroom space that will be vacated. We need to carefully consider what the greatest needs are before determining what programs move into current spaces such as Chipmunk Hollow, the Middle School art classroom, and the choir room.
Are we going to increase the size of the school when the arts center is built?
No, we are not planning to increase enrollment.
Funding the arts center
Is the new arts center a real need or a luxury?
Upper School students cannot paint on large canvases or do large three-dimensional works, because the art studio is too small. Film editors and composers collaborating on a project, for one example, must work separately in classrooms that are across campus from each other. Bringing the arts together in one facility will provide proximity, stimulating collaboration and increasing creativity.
During the past 17 years, the school has grown, but the square footage per student that is dedicated to the arts has decreased. The lack of adequate space for teaching the arts has been singled out in our last two accreditation reports as an important area for improvement. This project is not a luxury; it's a necessity. We owe it to our students.
Have we secured any lead gifts?
Being in the leadership phase of fundraising means we are seeking families who are willing to be the first, and in some cases the largest, donors to the project. I am happy to say that several donors have stepped up with lead gifts. Campaign volunteers, trustees, the development team, and I are working hard to secure the 80 percent of funding we need to break ground.
Will everyone be asked to give?
In due course, we will ask all parents, alumni, faculty-staff, and friends to participate in supporting the arts campaign. I love how campaign co-chair Craig Hartzman talks about the responsibility shared by all community members to invest in our school's future, just as others have done before us. People who cared about the future funded every building on this campus. That is what community responsibility is all about.
Does this mean the Annual Fund and the Gambol auction will ease up?
Absolutely not. Our first priority is to fund the operating budget, which includes $1.5 million in essential annual gifts. Historically, capital campaigns strengthen overall giving to programs like the Annual Fund and the auction.
Find out more
How can people see for themselves what our arts program is about?
The arts faculty welcomes drop-in visitors. They are very proud of the program and are eager for parents and friends to see why our students deserve better facilities. We want parents, especially of younger students, to see the amazing array of talent and artistic pursuit in our upper grades. Please e-mail or call arts department chair Laurie Carlyon-Ward to arrange for a tour, firstname.lastname@example.com or 503-297-1894 ext. 402.
A lot of information about the arts program is available on our website, including an overview and the Upper School course catalog, which is a great resource for class descriptions.
Can you share the architect's schematics?
We are not posting the current schematic design on the website because it is a preliminary plan, and building plans tend to evolve. We don't want people to become wedded to something that could change significantly. But we are presenting the designs at a Lower School coffee on Monday, March 7, at 8:30 a.m.; at a Beginning School coffee on Friday, March 18, at 9:15 after Friday Sing; and at a yet-to-be-scheduled PFA meeting in the spring. Join us!

Imagine being in church early Sunday morning and in the middle of service, a crazed gunman who had just been released from prison stomps in wielding a bazooka-sized assault rifle. After letting off two shots in the ceiling and randomly picking off the congregation, he smacks his own son for getting in the way and turns the gun on his intended target: the mother of his children.
This may sound similar to the opening scene of a twisted Quentin Terrentino film. But in actuality, that was the reality that Baton Rouge-born, Gonzales, La.-raised bad boy Hollowtip witnessed at only 12 years old.
"Everybody was getting on the ground. Old folks you thought couldn't move were getting on the ground," Hollowtip remembers. "He took the clip out on his baby momma and changed clips but the gun jammed so he just walked out the church. He didn't run or nothing. He just walked out."
It's tales like these that run rampant to the street-laced rhymes of Ruff-N-Rugged Entertainment rapper Hollowtip. That same raw, in-your-face grit is what his regional Gulf Coast fan base came to love on his 2004 debut mixtape Play It How I Say It. And he will dare not disappoint on his forthcoming 2013 mixtape Back At It.
"I'm more lyrical with my style," explains Hollowtip. "I'm really for people who are in the trap, who came from nothing, trying to get it and about having things, because I'm about having things."
Born Derrick S. Clark in a single-parent home, Hollowtip always knew at a young age that he wanted the better things in life. His mother brought him up in the church, supported his education and took interests in her only child's extracurricular activities. Young Derrick played drums for the church and played saxophone for the middle school band.
"I always loved music. When I was young, I used to write poems," Hollowtip admits. "When Master P was doing his thing, I looked at it like motivation, as something I wanted to be. I wanted to be an entrepreneur like him."
But because his mother worked most of the time to keep food on the table, she couldn't keep a close eye on her son. So eventually, he got sucked in by the streets.
"I was raised in the hood," says Hollowtip. "My momma couldn't show me how to be a man so I was in the hood trying to find my way."
The only thing he found, however, was a roundtrip ticket to the juvenile facility. With charges ranging from aggravated battery, shootings and drugs, the juvenile detention center doors revolved into prison cells.
But between the drugs, the streets and jail terms, Hollowtip started rapping at the age of 13. By the time he was 20, he became the breakthrough artist on fledging local independent label Ruff-N-Rugged Entertainment in 2004. He released his debut mixtape Play It How I Say It a year later.
Then, he came back that same year with a collaboration mixtape with label mate Lil Buck entitled Ruff N Rugged. Next, they came back with Hollowtip and Lil Buck's mixtape Black Shades in 2007. Then, in 2008, they released the follow up mixtape Black Shades 2. Then shortly after the mixtape's release, Hollowtip's life on the streets caught up with him and he went to jail for four years.
Now back home with his feet firmly planted on free ground, Hollowtip is fully focused on his career in music. He has put that past life behind him forever and has been steadily recording and further perfecting his craft.
He is on the verge of dropping his last masterpiece mixtape Back At It in early 2013. "When somebody hears my music, they know I'm not one of these dudes faking," says Hollowtip. "You know I really been through this. You can hear the struggle in my rhymes."

Is NFC West still 'NFC Worst'?
PFW's Dan Arkush ponders 10 questions about a division that looks like it could be on an upwardly mobile path following an excellent drafting effort.
2010 draft choices by team: Seahawks
Here are the players who were chosen by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2010 NFL draft.
White gets needed fresh start with Seattle
There are carries to be had in Seattle for RB LenDale White, many more than there were in Tennessee, where Chris Johnson has become a star.
Seahawks acquire RB-RS Washington from Jets
Not long after acquiring LenDale White from the Titans, the Seahawks traded for another backfield weapon late Saturday morning, picking up RB-RS Leon Washington from the Jets in exchange for Seattle's fifth-round draft pick.
Titans trade RB White to Seahawks
Looking to further diversify their backfield, the Seahawks have obtained veteran RB LenDale White from the Titans, reuniting White with Pete Carroll, his former coach at USC.
Tate should get golden opportunity with Seahawks
It looks like the Seahawks hit paydirt for the third straight time in the draft with the second-round selection of Notre Dame WR Golden Tate, who provides a terrific downfield dimension.
Okung, Thomas provide instant impact in Seattle
With the selections of OT Russell Okung and FS Earl Thomas, the Seahawks did quite well for themselves on both sides of the ball with their first two picks in the 2010 draft.
Seahawks sign former first-round wide receivers
The Seahawks have signed a pair of underachieving wide receivers who had been out of the NFL, reaching agreements with former USC Trojan and Detroit Lion pick Mike Williams and ex-Jaguar Reggie Williams, both of whom were one-time first-round draft ...
Seahawks unveil different looking O-line
Perhaps the most significant development on the first day of the Seahawks' voluntary veteran minicamp was that the offensive line looked a lot different than what most sources on the scene had expected.
Report: Seahawks DE Kerney calls it quits
NFL.com reported Tuesday afternoon that Seahawks DE Patrick Kerney, who would have been entering his 12th season as a pro, has decided to retire.
Q&A with Toledo safety Barry Church
Toledo's Barry Church talked to PFW about his prolific college career, those disappointing 40-times, funny sayings from Pittsburgh (his hometown) and a crippling fear of bees.
For Pete's sake
Now that Mike Shanahan has shaken up the NFL with his trade for Donovan McNabb, could new Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll be next to pull off a blockbuster deal?
Lions acquire OG Sims from Seattle
The Seahawks and Lions completed two trades on Monday, sending OG Rob Sims to Detroit in the more noteworthy of the two deals.
Seahawks could pick safety first on Draft Day
With the Seahawks being so busy on the NFL trade front, it was not difficult to overlook the mid-March release of Deon Grant.
Seahawks sign special-teams standout Morey
The Seahawks announced Monday that they have signed special-teams ace Sean Morey to a multiyear contract.
The New York Giants placed Blackmon on injured reserve and signed cornerback Brian Witherspoon.||||||| Blackmon, who was signed as a free agent in late October, hurt his knee against Philadelphia on Dec. 19 and missed Sunday's game in Green Bay. He averaged 6.7 yards on 14 returns in five games.
Green Bay placed Blackmon on injured reserve with a knee injury.|||||||
Blackmon was placed on the IR with a sprained knee.|||||||
Blackmon was injured in the second quarter of Monday's loss at Minnesota. He cut to his right and his left knee appeared to buckle as he tried to head up field. Blackmon remained on the turf for several minutes and was taken on a cart to the locker room for examination.||||||| Coach Mike McCarthy said it was a sprained knee and Blackmon would be evaluated on Tuesday. Jordy Nelson replaced him on punt and kick returns. He returned two kicks for 52 yards.
Blackmon was inactive for Green Bay's playoff game against Seattle on Saturday.||||||| Blackmon, one of the Packers' options as nickel cornerback, was limited in practice this week due to a foot injury. In his first start against Detroit on Dec. 30, Blackmon, who missed seven games earlier this season, aggravated a prior foot injury in the second quarter and didn't return. He provided a spark when he returned a punt for a 57-yard touchdown against the Raiders on Dec. 9. Blackmon scored a second touchdown in that game, falling on the ball in the end zone.

Those of us who spend more time than we probably should on this site can rarely agree on anything. Nothing wrong with that. It's what keeps things entertaining. However, if you dig through all the smirking, snide remarks and self-congratulation it becomes apparent that there are some sacred tenets that all of us hold dear in at least some capacity. For example, you'll find plenty of opinions on Tony Reagins. Some people think that he was the worst GM we've ever had, while some people believe he was a mole planted here by the Texas FO to weaken a once proud franchise. While the intensity of the hatred for Reagins might differ, the general sentiment is the same: Tony Reagins sucked at his job. If you're seeking an argument on that point, you'll need to find a different site (LSB, maybe?)
Likewise, you'd be hard pressed to find too many positive opinions expressed on these pages regarding Jeff Mathis. Maybe you resented watching him flail ineffectively at league average pitching while Napoli sat on the bench. Perhaps you got your expectations too high after he put up big numbers against the MFY in the '09 ALCS only to be reminded time and time again that his presence in a batters box was an insult to mediocre hitters everywhere. Or maybe it was his shameless bitching for playing time while looking up at the Mendoza line. The common thread is that Jeff Mathis sucked, only the reasoning and the intensity of the hatred varied.
And so it goes with the Big Catorce. Mike Scioscia is the longest tenured manager in MLB. For some of the younger readers on this site, he's the only Angels skipper that they've ever known. (Side note: If you think Sosh is the worst ever, you clearly don't remember the days of Doug Rader, Terry Collins, John McNamara, Cookie Rojas…) Sosh was, of course, at the helm in 2002 for the Angels sole World Series championship, a fact that seems to have bought him about a decade and a half of uncritical loyalty from Uncle Arte. That loyalty in the wake of four consecutive years of failure to meet expectations has also made Sosh the plus-sized punching bag for a large cross-section of the readership around here. Some of it is well deserved. Some of it borders on delusional. Nevertheless, we are more likely to see Albert Pujols beat Mike Trout in a footrace than see any Manager of the Year talk about Sosh here on HH. Again, the general sentiment is the same, the only variables being the reasoning for and the intensity of the hatred.
Personally, I've never been as quite as anti-Sosh as most everyone here. I've always thought that some of the more ridiculous criticisms bordered on the comical. (Really?! You really believe that Scioscia intentionally pitched Blanton as part of a nefarious scheme to get Dipoto fired?!) However, Sosh wouldn't be Sosh if he didn't piss me off at least a little bit. And here's what gets to me: Lineups. Seriously…effing lineups. He seems to get these weird notions about filling out a lineup and then sticks with it no matter how disastrous the result. (Think Aybar batting leadoff or Howie batting cleanup.) We're still two weeks out from Spring Training, but I think we can already safely guess a few things about what the lineup will look like. It's a given that Mike Trout, the best leadoff hitter in the game, will not be hitting leadoff. Nope, instead we'll likely get a steady diet of Aybar at leadoff. A guy who posted a .271/.301/.382 slash line last year. A guy who only stole 12 bases…and was caught stealing almost as much as he was successful. A guy who averaged about 1 walk…every week.
Why on Earth would anyone do this? Because Sosh has an obsession with making sure that Trout-Pujols-Hamilton must hit back to back to back. Is there any sound rationale for this? Not that I can tell. To me, the first inning of games that Aybar leads off looks something like this… Stats tell us that 70% of the time, Aybar will fail to do what a leadoff hitter is meant to do. So now Trout comes up with 1 out. Lets say that Trout gets a base hit to bring up Pujols. Now, a rational manager would recognize that he has one of the best speed guys in the game on base and utilize that speed to get Trout into scoring position. But not Sosh. No, he's too worried about "taking the bat out of Pujols hands." Ok, so maybe Pujols sees fewer pitches to hit with an open base. But is that a function of the open base at first, or the total lack of respect for a declining Josh Hamilton? And if so, wouldn't it make more sense to hit, I dunno, anyone besides Hamilton in that slot? But if we base our assumptions on last year's results, we can pretty much expect that Hamilton will be the cleanup hitter and that more often than not he will use that platform to give us another one of his trademark 4-6-3 double plays. Inning over.
Now, lets look at that same inning with Trout leading off. Let's say Trout gets on base. You can plug in any number of options to hit second: Aybar, Calhoun, even Ianetta with his high OPB. Let's say you turn Trout loose early in the count. He swipes the bag. Trout on 2nd, nobody out. Now you've got options. You can sac bunt him over. A deep enough fly ball moves him to 3rd. Base hit might even score him. For argument's sake, let's say he gets bunted over. That brings up Pujols with Trout on 3rd and one out. Fly ball brings in a run. Now you're on the board without even having to worry about Hamilton trying to pull a pitch that's a foot outside. But it won't happen. Why not? Because Sosh says so. Really, that's it. I can't think of any sane reason why at this stage of his career Trout shouldn't be a leadoff hitter. Doesn't matter. If the Big Catorce says no, it doesn't happen. And that sucks.
Maybe Sosh doesn't bear all the blame. Maybe it's Hamilton's fault for his rapid regression. Can you imagine if Hambone was putting up numbers like he did in Texas? Then I guess I could see hitting Trout 2nd. Can you imagine being an opposing pitcher and seeing Trout dancing around off first base, forcing you to pump in fastballs to Pujols, and knowing that throwback Hamilton was waiting on deck? You'd be sweating more than Angela at the free clinic. But that's not what we got last year. And that's my problem with Sosh; no matter how many times he is confronted with evidence that his strategy isn't working, he keeps trotting out the same tired elixir. It's an arrogant way to manage a team, and continuing to do this after the lack of success of the past few years is nothing short of crazy. Which brings me to the point of this Fanpost. I know there's plenty of Sosh hatred oozing around out there just waiting for an outlet. Well, here it is. Here's your chance to let it all out. What pisses you off the most about Scioscia? Let the justifiably righteous loathing loose. If nothing else, it should be cathartic before we finally "turn the page" on this offseason.

Family ASTRO
Making Science Fun for the Whole Family!
What is Family ASTRO?
Family ASTRO is a program sponsored by Raritan Valley Community College and Somerset County 4-H. Our goal is to train educators, astronomers, youth group leaders, and anyone else who is interested, to help children and adults explore astronomy together. Family ASTRO is about making science fun for the whole family!
Our way of involving families is to invite them to evening or weekend Family events, where they will have fun doing astronomy activities together. At the events, families get to try some activity stations as well as a number of facilitated activities, and then receive a game to take home. Each event is led by a Family ASTRO Event Leader who is trained in how to organize Family ASTRO programs and do astronomy activities.
Evidence of the impact of school, family and community connections on student achievement has been documented by Ann T. Henderson and Karen L. Map in a publication by the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory. Click here to view or download this study (1.2 MB).
How do I become a Family ASTRO Leader?
|We sometimes conduct Family ASTRO Leader Trainings.
At these trainings we will introduce participants to two of the four Family ASTRO kits:
|Night Sky Adventures
|Race to the Planets
|Moon Mission
|Cosmic Decoders
The fee is $150 per person. At the training you will receive 2 Family Leader Kits, supplies, breakfast and lunch. Teachers will receive 6 hours of Continuing Education Credits.
After the training we are asking Family ASTRO Leaders to commit to doing at least 2 family events with groups of 5 or more families before the end of the school year.
Take-home kits for families can be purchased at the training for $12 per kit or can be ordered at a later date.
We currently have no upcoming Family ASTRO Leader Trainings, held at RVCC or 4-H facilities in New Jersey.
If you would like to inquire about Family ASTRO training, please contact Dave Allison at
Raritan Valley Community College at 908-526-1200 x 8942 (email: firstname.lastname@example.com).
Descriptions of Each Family Astro Kit
Night Sky Adventures helps families get to know the bright stars and constellations of each season. Families get to build their own star finder, put their family heroes in the sky, and do a celestial treasure hunt.
Race to the Planets
Race to the Planets encourages the exploration of many intriguing worlds in our solar system. Families get to play a newly developed planets game (with a secret decoder), build their own planetary flags, and figure what they would weigh on Jupiter or Pluto.
Moon Mission
Moon Mission explores our closest neighbor, the Moon, the only celestial body human have actually set foot on. Families play a collaborative game where they work and plan together to bring a number of damaged instruments back to their Moon Base; they have only two weeks (one day on the Moon) to do this. Families also share moon stories, learn why the moon has phases, and find out how high they can jump on the Moon.
Cosmic Decoders
Cosmic Decoders is designed to be done in two parts.
In the first part, families learn how to sort beautiful pictures of various kinds of cosmic objects. They construct "Cosmic Visors" to compare what their world and the universe look like in different colors, and create and display "secret messages" using a color code.
In the second part, families learn about messages scientists are sending to and trying to receive from possible civilizations among the stars. They work together to decode an interesting cosmic message and then have fun constructing their own family message to send into space. Since aliens are unlikely to speak English (or any other human language), families must use some kind of picture code to make their messages intelligible.
Every family also takes home a "Cosmic Decoders" card set. The set of 72 beautiful color cards (with images of galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae) lets families play at least four different games that teach astronomy and encourage both competitive and cooperative play.
Family ASTRO is a program of Raritan Valley Community College and Somerset County 4-H.
It is developed by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and funded by the National Science Foundation.
