You've probably heard about Adam Greenberg by now. Never considered a hot prospect, Greenberg nevertheless reached the majors seven years ago, with the Cubs ... and in his first action, as a pinch-hitter, he got hit in the head by a pitch -- the first pitch -- and, suffering from various symptoms in the following months, never played in the majors again. Greenberg did continue playing baseball, most recently with Bridgeport in the independent Atlantic League; last season he posted a .393 on-base average and scored 82 runs in 106 games (which is really good).
This year, though, a Cubs fan began militating to get Greenberg one more shot, however brief ... and, somewhat incredibly, it actually worked: the Miami Marlins have signed Greenberg to a one-day contract and, as Joe Capozzi writes in The Palm Beach Post, Greenberg's probably going to play Tuesday night against the Mets (if just briefly):
"We will try to put him in in the middle of the game and see how that works,'' Guillen said.
Guillen said Greenberg likely would be lifted after the at-bat and he wasn't sure if Greenberg would even run the bases.
"They told me to give him one at-bat. That's what they want," he said.
Guillen also said he will manage the game like he does any other game — to win. That's why he said Greenberg likely would be used without the game on the line.
"I expect the team to treat this kid well. I expect his teammates for one day to respect him and enjoy the couple of minutes he is going to be with us. .. Just in case somebody out there feels a little bit uncomfortable, they're more free to talk to me about the situation.
"I will respect everybody's opinion in this clubhouse but I don't think it's going to kill anyone to take one at-bat away from somebody.''
Obviously, this is a stunt. It's not likely to draw many extra fans, but will generate at least a modicum of goodwill for a franchise that's run a deficit in that area this season. And as I wrote when it looked like Roger Clemens might make an appearance for the Astros, there's a long history of such things. In that piece, I focused on pitchers, but they haven't been the only ones. Here's a short (and less than complete) history of personnel stunts in the majors ...
In 1911, Charles Victor "Victory" Faust got into a couple of games with the New York Giants. Faust wasn't any sort of baseball player, but initially wormed his way onto the club as a sort of mascot. The roster rules were loose in those days, and eventually Faust convinced manager John McGraw to let him into a game. Faust's story is one of the best, and you really should read it.
In 1924, Washington Nationals 48-year-old Nick Altrock, who served as both coach and clown, pitched two innings against the Red Sox on the season's last day.
Altrock wouldn't pitch again, but he would hit ... three times: in 1929, in 1931, and finally -- at the age of 57 -- in 1933. That last appearance made him the first five-decade man in major-league history, as he'd made his National League debut in 1898.
Charley O'Leary played for the Tigers and (for one season) the St. Louis Cardinals in the Dead Ball Era. One of Ty Cobb's favorites, O'Leary was considered a master at tagging sliding baserunners. In 1934, he was in his first year as a coach with the St. Louis Browns ... and for their last game of the season, just two weeks before his 59th birthday, the Browns activated O'Leary. He batted for the pitcher in the middle of the game, singled, and scored a run.
You know the story of Eddie Gaedel, I'm sure (but if not, here it is). Gaedel, of course, stood 3-feet-7 and made a single pinch-hitting appearance for the Bill Veeck-owned St. Louis Browns in 1951. Wearing a tiny jersey with 1/8 on the back, Gaedel walked on four pitches and was immediately lifted for a pinch-runner.
In 1965, 58-year-old Satchel Paige came out of retirement to sign a contract with the Kansas City A's, and pitched three innings against the Red Sox.
In 1976, 50-year-old Minnie Miñoso came out of retirement and actually started three games as the White Sox' Designated Hitter. In his first appearance, on the 11th of September, he went 0 for 3. He started again the next afternoon, came up in the second inning, and drove a single into left field. Miñoso went hitless in his next two at-bats, and was finally bumped in the ninth for a pinch-hitter with the game tied 1-1. (The White Sox finally won in the 10th, with future Hall of Fame reliever Rich Gossage going all 10 innings for the complete-game victory.)
Miñoso then rested for a few weeks before starting once more on the 30th and went 0 for 2. So ended that stunt, just another in the long history of now-White Sox owner Bill Veeck's
crazy unorthodox ideas.
In 1980, Miñoso did it again, this time with the express aim of becoming the second player to get major-league action in five different decades, as he'd debuted in 1949, then played in the 1950s, '60s and 70s. This time, Miñoso merely pinch-hit in two games at the very end of the season, going hitless. In the process, he also became the third-oldest player to appear in a major-league game, topped only by Altrock and Paige.
Of course, we might continue in this vein for a while. Was Pete Rose Jr.'s short stint in the majors a "stunt"? Yeah, probably, as the 27-year-old non-prospect got into 11 September games with the '97 Reds, who were well out of contention. Was Joe Nuxhall's debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 1944 a stunt? Yeah, probably, as Nuxhall was all of 15 years old. But teams in 1944 were really desperate for anybody who could fit into baseball spikes and wasn't eligible for the military draft. Nuxhall threw reasonably hard, and maybe somebody thought he could really pitch (he couldn't, but did return to the majors eight years later).
Other stunts include deserving major leaguers who did things they didn't normally do. Babe Ruth, after nine years off, took the mound as a starting pitcher in 1930, did it again in 1933 ... and came away with two complete-game victories. In the last game of the 1952 season, Stan Musial pitched to a single batter: Frankie Baumholtz, Musial's closest competition (but not nearly close enough) for the National League batting title (Baumholtz reached on an error).
Bert Campaneris (1965), César Tovar (1968), Scott Sheldon (2000) and Shane Halter (2000) all played all nine fielding positions in major-league games.
All of these were stunts, in the sense that their teams deployed these players with zero hope of actually winning baseball games as a result of the deployments, neither at that moment or at some point in the future.
However, I will note that it's been roughly a dozen years since we've seen anything like this. There's more scrutiny than ever before, the stakes higher, and so it's more difficult for management to justify doing things that a) won't help win games, and b) might be criticized by the knights of the keyboard and the mavens of the microphone.
One of the things that makes baseball so wonderful are the stories, though. And while you might think the Marlins have done a great number of things wrong over the years, I hope you'll agree that this things is a big bowl of right.
Welcome back to the major leagues, Adam Greenberg. And thank you, Miami Marlins, for adding to the lore.

Pats stay busy
The Patriots front office had a busy day on Friday signing a new player and visiting with several potential free agent acquisitions.
Cornerback Kyle Arrington was re-signed on Friday to the tune of a four-year $16M contract and agreed to a deal with former Bills wide receiver Donald Jones, although the terms of that deal have not yet been disclosed.
Arrington has been a mainstay in the Patriots secondary rotation over the last few seasons and is best suited playing in the slot. Jones torched the Patriots for 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns in two meetings with the Bills last season.
In addition to the two signings, the Patriots interviewed a host of potential new Patriots. Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson, Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, Colts pass rusher Dwight Freeney and Falcons defensive end John Abraham were all in town to meet with Patriots brass on Friday.
Sanders is a restricted free agent and the Pats would have to ship a third round pick to the Steelers if he were to sign in New England. Abraham and Freeney would help fill a pass rushing void while Wilson is the type of hard hitting safety the Patriots do not have.
It is also rumored that the team is attempting to restructure the contract of wide receiver Brandon Lloyd so he can remain in a Patriots uniform in 2013.
Woodhead to SD
It was obvious that Danny Woodhead was the odd man out of the Patriots' back field picture when the team reached an agreement with Leon Washington on Thursday. On Friday it became official as Woodhead agreed to a two-year deal with the Chargers where he is expected to backup Ryan Matthews.
The Patriots backfield quartet now features Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden and Washington.
Flacco coming to town
A local sports team has traded for Flacco. That's right the Boston Red Sox reached an agreement with the Baltimore Orioles on Friday to acquire first baseman Mike Flacco for a player to be named later.
Mike Flacco is the brother of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, he is a low level prospect who hasn't played past the Double-A level.

The End of Trek

Thanks for the link EC, it's a fine post. When I try to come up with a rough setup, e.g. a retro 23rd century series that plays on a colony, a freighter or a space station, I think along structurally similar lines, i.e. a highly serialized series that stays at a certain place or with certain characters.
While this might very well be the future of Trek as contemporary sci-fi is often fairly serialized I also believe that from a historical perspective Trek was best around the middle of TNG, when it changed from telling short-stories to novels, when there was this magic of setting up a cosmos that is there to say (it's kinda like a kid playing with Lego, the actual pleasure lies not in playing with finished stuff but in building it), when it captured the best of both worlds, a sense of wonder about a cosmos that is about to be explored as well as the grandeur of stories that will continue.
You cannot tell stories like City or Inner Light in a serialized setting and as much as well all love epic stories, the truth is that the Dominion War or the Xindi conflict are basically just one story.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

I just came across a article not too long ago about Bower. Apparently he has received permission to talk to the New Jersey Nets about their vacant GM position. Apparently the stalled ownership change and financial strife have made the New Jersey job look more appealing. The question I want to ask my fellow hornet fans is what kind of job do you think Bower has done? Do you think he has left a good lasting impression in your mind? I think these are 2 questions that can't be answered easily so I think we have to look at his body of work.
Bower has twice been the GM of the hornets he breifly held down the position from 2002-2003 and from 2005- present. I want to look at the drafts Bower has conducted since 2005.
2005 Draft I think this was one of Bower's better drafts he has had as our GM. We drafted the best player avaiable on the board in Chris Paul, and he quickly became the cornerstone of our franchise. We also drafted Brandon Bass in the 2nd round. Bass has gone on to become a qulaity back up big, and I don't blame Bower that he didn't work out. Bass was never given a fair shot by Byron Scott and thus hindered his development. For the 2005 Draft I give Bower a solid B+
2006 Draft - This draft was horrible in my opinion some questionable picks were made, and I believe this draft is one of the reasons we have alot of our issues as a basketball team. The hornets had 2 1st round picks with the # 12 and # 15 selections. The Hornets drafted Hilton Armstrong with 12th pick and turned around and drafted Cedric Simmons with the 15th pick. Simmons and Armstrong have both been busts. Yes their were extremely slim pickings that year, and many of the bigs that year were busts, but something tells me the hornets could have done better. With their 2nd round pick the hornets selected Marcus Vincius who never turned out either. This draft I give the hornets a D-.
2007 Draft The hornets drafted Julian Wright. Wright has still not developed and has had a knack for teasing us fans. One night showing flashes of brillance. The hornets could have drafted these players instead Affalo, Thornton, Rudy Fernandez or Jared Dudley. All of these players have given their teams key contributions. The Hornets drafted Adam Huluska in the 2nd round. Where is Haluska these days? Drafted after Haluska was Marc Gasol. Granted the Hornets were still hoping Armstrong would pan out. Grade C-
2008 Draft - The hornets traded their lone pick for Cash. They did this so they could eventually pick up James Posey in Free Agency.
2009 Draft - The hornets best draft since 2005 in my opinion We drafted a back up point guard in Collinson on filled in nicely and valiantly when Chris Paul was injured. We also traded for Marcus Thornton who eventually took Morris Peterson's starting job. Thornton was a steal getting him in a trade and him being drafted in the 2nd round.
Draft Grade A-
I think Bower has done some nice things drafting, but the only thing that he has drafted that has panned out has been guards. Paul, Collinson, and the trade of getting Thornton. I have quite honestly been very disappointed with the way we have drafted bigs, and the lack of an athletic wing who can contribute. Maybe I am being too hard on Bower maybe Shinn has been more hands on with the draft process, but all of these maybes are pure speculation. I think that Bower has been an ok GM and I don't think him leaving will damage the hornets at all. Part 2 coming up tomorrow I will look at free agent signings under Bower.

I forgot to get back here like I've done elsewhere. I was telling everyone over the last 10 days or so that the price of gas was going to go up, and even though it's up here and most everywhere, it's not over yet. It'll be going up more as well. Look for another 10 to 25 cents a gallon in your area, possibly more. We're up by a total of at least 32 cents a gallon at quite a few locations, and it's not over yet. Have a great day and week ahead. WHAT kind words? LOL!

"Hope"…..everybody needs a little "Hope" in their lives from time to time. We need to live stronger, laugh harder, and love deeper, at least that is what "The Little Pink House of Hope" does. This organization located here on Pleasure Island provides a week of relaxation, beach fun, and hope for breast cancer survivors and their families free of charge.
Volunteers provide and create an environment for families of breast cancer survivors to feel God's love and support during their remission. It helps heal the scars of worry from the survivors as well as the families that come from the events from the long journey that they have endured upon during their treatments. The Little Pink House of Hope provides beach houses given by donors to the recipients. There are meals, programs, and activities planned for all family members during their stay, as well as adventure time for themselves as well. For a lot of us, the beach is a healing place; it's a place of peace, harmony, and tranquility.

SGP Board Announces Executive Director
The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership's Board of Directors convened a meeting in December 2013 and discussed a two-year strategic plan. The plan concluded that SGP would greatly benefit from the leadership of an Executive Director. As a result, the Board is pleased to announce that Martine Padilla has been selected to fill that position. An original stakeholder and past board member of SGP, Martine brings to this position a genuine passion for advancing sustainability best practices within the printing industry. Padilla's industry experiences spans 30 years of print sales and operations, to agency and corporate purchasing of printed materials.
"I am so excited for this tremendous opportunity to lead the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership into the future. SGP is already the printing industry leader of sustainability best practices. SGP printers recognize the value in their SGP certification as proven through their 93 percent recertification rate. Patronage by suppliers and solution providers has been amazing. Towards continuous improvement, I look forward to expanding the SGP community to include elite corporate print buyers and NGOs leaders. Being a print buyer myself, I know SGP partners can help print buyers who are being challenged to bring more sustainable print solutions to their organization towards achieving CSR and specific sustainability goals. Assuring that we are addressing all of our sustainability challenges with a holistic approach, we will also be seeking alliances with NGOs who are interested in sharing their global insights and influence within our community. The existing SGP community and prospective printers, suppliers, print buyers and NGO leaders who are interested in engaging in forward-thinking sustainability conversations should contact me directlyat 310-809-6124 or firstname.lastname@example.com," said Padilla.

Tim Wise
been nearly four decades since the last execution in Tennessee. During that
time, my state has resisted boarding the killing train engineered by folks in
places like Florida and Texas, where execution has been refined to a near
science, applied with such efficiency that it passes with hardly a notice
whenever either kill again.
yet, within the next few months there is every likelihood that Governor Don
Sundquist will preside over the executions of two men, despite evidence that
neither is guilty of the crimes for which they've been condemned. That Tennessee
may resume capital punishment after such a hiatus is bad enough; that the calls
for blood have trumped evidence of reasonable doubt in the cases of Robert Coe
and Philip Workman makes the situation even more tragic. Further, it
demonstrates the inherent flaws in a justice system that has elevated revenge to
the level of a national sacrament; flaws which, unless corrected soon by that
same system, will result in what the state calls, in appropriate Orwellian
fashion, "Therapeutic Intravenous Intervention" for two men.
Coe and Workman have received less than favorable treatment in the press should
come as no surprise: one is a convicted "child killer," the other,
facing execution for killing a police officer. When it comes to victims, Coe and
Workman have been unlucky enough to be pegged with killing the two most
sympathetic. Coe-convicted of kidnapping, raping and stabbing to death 8-year
old Cary Ann Medlin in 1979-finds himself in the unenviable position of having
been the personification of the Governor's campaign pledge to administer the
death penalty. He is, as the Governor puts it, "the poster child" for
capital punishment. Had the state's highest court not ruled as it did today-that
both men have 25 days to file rehearing petitions with the U.S. Supreme Court
which recently rejected their appeals-Coe would have likely died October 19th,
and Workman shortly after.
yet, despite the media hoopla surrounding the pending executions, little has
been said about the evidence regarding guilt or innocence in either case, nor
the substantial indications of police misconduct, cover-ups, and incompetent
legal representation at trial for both men.
for Coe, after the disappearance of Cary Ann Medlin and the discovery of her
body, all three of the state's witnesses initially identified a different man:
Donald Gant. Gant was arrested, and there was considerable physical evidence
suggesting his guilt. He had fresh scratches on his neck, blood on his clothes
and bedding, a car matching the description given by witnesses, and tire treads
consistent with marks left in the mud near where Medlin's body was found. In
addition, he had no alibi for his whereabouts at the time of the kidnapping and
changed his story repeatedly. Coe, on the other hand, had alibi witnesses (never
called by his trial attorney) that could place him in a different town at the
time of the crime, and faced no conclusive physical evidence of his involvement.
how could Robert Coe be convicted and sentenced to die? Easy: first, after being
brought in and fed leading questions by investigators, Coe–a diagnosed paranoid
schizophrenic whom most wouldn't trust to tell them the time of day–accuratelyconfessed
to everything the police told him happened. Then, after extracting this
confession, but faced with physical evidence implicating Gant, the state crime
lab managed to "lose" the materials sent to them for testing.
trial, instead of arguing that the confession of someone as disturbed as Coe
should be taken with a large grain of proverbial salt, his public defender
argued simply that his client's illness mitigated his culpability. This kind of
defense having been no more popular twenty years ago than today, the jury didn't
take long to reject it. They never knew about Gant or the disappearance of
evidence. They never heard Coe's witnesses. They knew only that he confessed,
and that in the days following the murder he was "acting strange," by
dyeing his hair, selling his car, and trying to leave town on a bus. Strange
indeed, but not extraordinary for someone who's paranoid, schizophrenic, and
hears voices regularly tell him to do all manner of things, of which, leaving
town was probably the most benign.
his part, Workman was sent to death row for the 1981 murder of Memphis Police
Lieutenant Ronald Oliver, who was shot responding to Workman's robbery of a
Wendy's restaurant. From the beginning, Philip Workman admitted he fired two
bullets from his handgun. Dazed from drugs and a blow to the head he received
from Oliver's flashlight, Workman never knew for sure if one of his shots had
been the fatal one. For some time he appears to have considered that possible,
and even likely.
yet, evidence available but unused by Workman's trial attorney, now casts
considerable doubt on his responsibility for first-degree murder. Oliver's
wounds were not consistent with the ammunition in Workman's gun: .45 caliber
hollow-point bullets, designed to mushroom on impact, remaining in the body and
doing heavy damage to internal organs. If they exit at all, they leave an exit
wound substantially larger than the entrance wound.
this wasn't the case for Oliver. The exit wound was far smaller than the
entrance wound: inconsistent with Workman's ammo, but perfectly compatible with
the bullets used by fellow officers, who could have struck Oliver during what
appears to have been a firefight. As if recognizing this possibility, the other
officers lied at trial and claimed never to have fired their weapons: testimony
which even the appellate courts have recognized as false, given eyewitness
testimony, early police reports of the incident, and the fact that Workman was
treated for shotgun wounds the night he was arrested.
appeal, the 6th Circuit Court acknowledged the fatal bullet could not have come
from Workman's gun if it exited the body intact, due to the resulting wound.
However, they then claimed-with no supporting physical evidence, and autopsy
reports contradicting them-that the bullet must have fragmented, sending a
smaller portion through the body and leaving the tiny exit wound. When
confronted with an affidavit from the head of the International Ballistics Wound
Association, pointing out that low-velocity hollow-tip bullets rarely
fragment-and when they do, the fragments move too slowly to exit the body-the
court simply reissued its previous opinion. As for their earlier acknowledgement
that for Workman to be responsible for the fatal shot, the bullet must have
fragmented? No problem: they merely crossed out that section from their previous
also likely the state's star witness wasn't even on the scene the night of the
event. The day after the shooting, Harold Davis, an African American male,
called police to say he'd seen Workman shoot Oliver at point-blank range. Yet,
despite claiming his car was in the Wendy's lot at the time, and that he was
there when "a bunch" of officers began to arrive, no one remembers
seeing Davis. Nor does his car appear on the official police diagram of the
crime scene. And another bystander present at the time, whose car would have
been parked directly in front of Davis' and who would have had ample opportunity
to see the vehicle, claims he never saw it, nor anyone remotely matching Davis'
Prosecution contended, and appeals courts accepted, that Davis was there, and
the failure of others to see him was merely the result of a chaotic crime scene,
where everyone was "trying to help" the downed officer. Yet this seems
unlikely: especially when one considers that the very morning of the shooting,
Memphis officers were told to be on the lookout for a black man who had been
robbing area Wendy's at closing time. Had Davis been in the lot, what is the
likelihood that police would have ignored him or failed to see him, choosing
instead to focus on the white man-Workman-exiting the restaurant as they
arrived? Even a cursory glance at the common practice of police profiling would
argue against such an absurd oversight.
so it goes: the state of Tennessee, having put executions on hold for nearly
forty years, is now preparing to administer the ultimate punishment to two men
whose very guilt is in question. Although neither Robert Coe nor Philip Workman
have the political appeal to the left of a Mumia Abu-Jamal, nor can they
effectively argue, as with Mumia, that they are victims of a racist frame-up
since both men are white, the fact remains that, as with Mumia, both cases
involve substantial evidence of police misconduct, perjured testimony, and a
judicial system that rarely admits mistakes, even as it marches a long line of
persons off to their deaths. As with Mumia, we must raise our voices against the
executions of these men, and all others, in the name of "law and
order." We must expose the lies of law enforcement officials in this and
other cases, and we must send the message that the desire of some for
"payback" is not a valid basis for the implementation of public
the train just keeps on moving.

An East Texas sheriff's deputy and jailer died Tuesday following a one-vehicle accident.
According to Delta County Chief Deputy Don Willingham, 28-year-old Kevin Wingfield Jr., a deputy with the Delta County Sheriff's Department, was involved in a one-vehicle accident around 5:00 p.m. near Tira in Hopkins County, 14 miles north of Sulphur Springs.
A Texas Department of Public Safety report said that Wingfield died as a result of a medical event and not the vehicle accident. He was driving a 2008 Dodge pickup on Farm-to-Market 1536 when his truck crossed the intersection of Farm-to-Market 71 and struck a fence.
Wingfield walked 30-feet away from the accident before collapsing. An autopsy has been requested.
Wingfield leaves behind an 8-year-old son and his fiance.
Donations for Wingfield's family can be made to the Delta County Sheriff's Department. Visitation will be held at Jones-Walker Funeral Home in Commerce on Friday from 6-8 p.m. His funeral service will be Saturday morning at Cross Trails Cowboy Church in Fairlie, Texas at 11 a.m.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) Four people are arrested following a string of burglaries in La Crosse.
La Crosse Police said they responded to the area of 2200 Hoeschler Drive around 8 p.m., Monday, Oct. 28, for a report of three suspicious people in the area. When officers arrived they found three teens who matched the description of the subjects.
Upon further investigation, Police learned the three men had committed at least two burglaries to garages and attempted to enter 20 vehicles in the area. Fue Vue, 17, Vue Yang, 17, and John Vang,17, were arrested. Police said Fue Vue had a Ruger 357 handgun in his front sweatshirt pocket along with ammunition, a screw driver, flashlight, a glove and a large amount of change in his pocket. Officers discovered the handgun had been stolen from a vehicle that was parked in a locked garage.
Police said a follow up has tied these suspects to at least eight business burglaries and several other burglaries and thefts in the area over the last several weeks. Police have also arrest a fourth suspect Lee Yang, 20, in connection with the crimes.
Police said his investigation all started when a citizen contacted police to report suspicious activity by these suspects. Reminder; If you may have been a victim of these crimes, contact the La Crosse Police Department to file a report and remember to lock your vehicles, garages and secure your property to help prevent these crimes from occurring in the future.

Game rules:
You point out to the girl that she should ask you 10 questions, on any subject, questions about family, secrets, relationships, sex, life, on everything, including really personal and intrusive, explain the rules in these words that so you actually route the conversation you want, sex, invasion of privacy and intrusive comments unconsciousness bypass Rules.
You must specify that you promise to answer honestly (and indeed you do, but politically), and then you ask her 10 questions.
You must emphasized that these are not superficial questions like what is your favorite color and so on. But deep questions.
* She must ask first

A grassroots politician
Paul Dewar, Ed'94, always wanted to be a teacher, but having emerged as one of the leading lights of the resurgent federal NDP, there are a few lessons that he hopes to teach his party.
Paul Dewar headed for the classroom after leaving Queen's with his BEd degree, but a decade later he left teaching and embarked on a new career path – one that recently led him on a quest to become Canada's first New Democrat (NDP) prime minister.
Following Jack Layton's death last August 22, Dewar, the MP for Ottawa Centre, spent six months campaigning for his party's leadership. Had he won, Dewar would have been leader of the Official Opposition and running for prime minister in the next election.
However, in late March, New Democrats chose Tom Mulcair instead, and so Dewar returned to his MP duties and to his role as the party's foreign affairs critic.
During a chat in his Parliament Hill office – where he offered his visitor coffee in a Queen's mug – the 49-year-old reflected on his political career, so far, and his time in Kingston.
Even though he grew up in the nation's capital, studied politics for his undergrad degree at Carleton, and had an activist mother (Marion Dewar) who was mayor of Ottawa and briefly an MP, the younger Dewar didn't always envision a life for himself in politics. He loved teaching and being engaged in public service through volunteer work on environmental campaigns and other issues he's passionate about.
In 2004, when an opportunity arose to run for the NDP nomination in Ottawa Centre, Dewar took it. Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one eager to claim the nomination; the party's former leader, Ed Broadbent, LLD'09, had decided to make a political comeback.
Not surprisingly, Broadbent won the nomination. However, Dewar didn't have to wait long for another shot. When Broadbent retired from the House of Commons for good in 2005, Dewar successfully sought the nomination, with his wife Julia's encouragement, and won the seat in the January 2006 election.
While he misses teaching, he says he thoroughly enjoys his work as an MP. "What I love is the engagement with people," he says.
One of the many lessons his late mother taught him is that wielding power can be a good or a bad thing. What's key is how you use it to mobilize people to assert their power to make change.
"For me, that's what politics is about – organizing and connecting with people and coming together with ideas and pushing them," he says.Real change comes out of communities, "from the grassroots," in his view, and that's the kind of politics that excites him. So wouldn't he be better suited to municipal politics?
No, Dewar insists, Parliament Hill is the right fit for him. Though it's foreign affairs that keep him on his feet in question period these days, he says, "I think federal politics need a good injection of grassroots, local politics."
As he toured Canada in the course of his leadership campaign, Dewar says he was shown more than ever that MPs need to have a closer connection to people in their communities. Too often people don't view the federal government as a force for positive change, he says. Dewar is intent on doing what he can to change that.
"We ... I, need to be seized with this engagement of Canadians in political affairs to show them why it matters," he says.
A strong sense of community is one of the things Dewar appreciated about Queen's. He recalls that his professors were connected to their discipline and to the Kingston community. Dewar followed their lead, immersing himself in both town and gown. He enjoyed jogging along the shore of Lake Ontario and volunteering with Open Book, a literacy program for youth. Dewar also has fond memories of a practice-teaching stint he did on nearby Amherst Island.
There is special connection among the students, the staff and the community at Queen's, he says. "That's something that I hope is never lost."
Dewar is still reflecting on the lessons he learned in his leadership bid, what went right and what didn't. Would he ever run again, if the opportunity came up? He doesn't rule it out. However, the NDP isn't due for another leadership review any time soon, and that's just fine with Dewar, who's focused on his party winning a majority in the next election.
To do that, he says the NDP must engage with ordinary Canadians to build their trust and show them that the party is ready to govern. "If we earn that trust, we can be the government," says Dewar.

Song Collaborators Consortia
Who We Are
We are singers, pianists, composers, theorists, musicologists and any other musician that love art song. We recognize art song as a unique and self-sustaining art form that gives us insight into the human experience. The SCC was founded in Fall of 2011 by Dr. Christopher Meerdink, dedicated to the performance of art song and the commissioning of new works.
Art Song Festival
The Song Collaborators Consortia Art Song Festival is a National conference surrounding the topic of art song. We gather together every one to one and a half years to sing for each other and present sessions relating to some aspect of art song composition, analysis, and/or performance. Our sessions and performances take place on the campus of West Texas A&M University and at the Fibonacci Building in Downtown Amarillo, home of Chamber Music Amarillo.
Commissioning new works
Those interested in the work of a specific composer may submit a proposal to the SCC and the general membership to raise support and funds for the commissioning of new works. The SCC will use the Kickstarter website to advertise and raise funds. Those contributing 20% or more of the commissioning fee will be awarded the right to premiere the work at their institution or in their home territory. All premier performances can be submitted to the SCC for performance of the work at the next SCC Art Song Festival and to have the performance posted on the SCC website.
2013 Art Song Festival
The 2013 Art Song Festival will be held from October 7-9 on the campus of West Texas A&M University and the Fibonacci Building in downtown Amarillo, home of Chamber Music Amarillo. Registration and song proposals will be accepted until September 13, 2013. Schedule
Featured performances:
An Evening of Song: A formal performance of art songs by a variety of composers
Registrants from out of town should plan to fly into Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport. Limited shuttling from the airport to selected hotels is available with advance notice. Reduced rates will be available from these hotels; please reference Song Collaborators Consortia when making your reservations. A $50 registration fee is required for an individual, $80 for a collaborative team.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The Salvation Army is preparing to launch its next stage of disaster recovery work following the November tornadoes.
Beginning Monday, a Salvation Army case manager will begin long-term case management services.
"We will have our case management office open Monday through Wednesday from 9-3 initially," said Clausell. "We hope to hire a second case manager soon, and then will have more office hours available to help those affected by the disaster."
Residents can call (309) 210-2647 to schedule an appointment.
The Salvation Army said it will have staff available to help those affected by the tornadoes for as long as necessary.
To date, The Salvation Army has received $784,000 for its disaster relief efforts for the central Illinois tornadoes.
Included in that are several large gifts, including the MH Equipment/His First Foundation donation of $250,000, a $150,000 donation through the Illinois Tornado Relief Effort, a McCormick Foundation fund, and $15,000 from the Heart of Illinois United Way.
More than $100,000 has been spent and that number is expected to increase dramatically as the case management begins next week.

The Miami Heat will celebrate their back-to-back championships in style on Monday in downtown Miami with a victory parade that culminates in an invite-only rally at AmericanAirlines Arena for season ticket holders.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. ET at the corner of Southwest Eighth Street and Second Avenue. The parade will travel east on Eighth before going north on Brickell Avenue and then north on Biscayne Boulevard to the arena. The victory march is expected to run until about 12:30 p.m. before heading into the stadium. Here's a map of the route courtesy of the Miami Herald:
There will be increased transportation options in Miami for the parade, with Metrorail trains running every five minutes to all stations near the arena and additional cars for Metromover riders. Free parking will be available at Park and Ride lots. The Miami Herald has more information on transportation.
For those who can't make it to the parade, the celebration will be televised on Sun Sports, with coverage already underway. Sun Sports will also be streaming the event live online for viewers outside the state of Florida, and ESPN3 is providing a live stream. NBA TV has television coverage of the parade as well.

What is Emotional Branding?
Best Practice Standard
Progressive Insight
Proven Success
Media Neutral
– Gary Knell, President & CEO of Sesame Workshop
"Brands are not what you say- they're built on what you do…Marc taps into the critical elements that make the difference in capturing an audience and sustaining this relationship to a brand. Emotional Branding presents the clear plan needed to make a brand a success in today's market."
– Robin Lewis, CEO of The Robin Report and author of The End of Retailing
"Marc is always a decade ahead of the curve in his vision of the brand and consumer connection. First, brand as "persona." emotionally connecting, and now holistically connecting brands and social communities on the internet – the ultimate link. Brilliant!"
– Sergio Zyman - Former CMO of the Coca Cola Company
"Marc impressed me with his emotionalized approach to brand design, a concept ahead of its time…I believe that kick-ass creative is critical to the success of a brand, and no designer is better qualified to explain creative, integrated design identity than Marc Gobé. Emotional Branding will help you understand how great brands – from Stew Leonard's in rural Connecticut to multinational Coca-Cola – grow their businesses and attract loyal customers."

In Lowndes County, fire investigators are trying to figure out what caused a fire that destroyed a home.
No one was hurt in the fire, but the family lost all their belongings.
"My room was right there." 13-year-old Nick West points out what used to his bedroom. Now just a pile of rubble he and his family will have to start all over.
"It was, probably the worst day of my life," said resident Kathy West.
Certainly not how any family would want to bring in the New Year, but Kathy says her faith is helping her get through the loss of her home.
"What the devil takes away the lord makes him pay it back a hundred times more, so I'm looking at that."
The West family spent New Year's Day celebrating with family from Florida at their Stewart Circle home. Just moments before the fire erupted they decided to cook out for dinner. Kathy and her husband Donny headed to the store and Nick stayed behind.
"He called me frantic saying the house was on fire. So I was hysterical. We had just been in there, we had just taken family pictures in there," said Kathy.
And the last member of the West family to make it out of the fire was their kitten, Izzy. A neighbor ran inside the home to rescue her.
"I was frantic, but once I found her, you know I was able to hold her and it was okay," said Kathy.
As for their home, Kathy said, "They told me yesterday that we wouldn't be able to salvage anything from my husband's and my bedroom."
Her son lost all of his belongings including his favorite Christmas present, a weight bench and a punching bag.
"As long as were all still alive and we're all still together as a family that's pretty much it, and that God has helped us through a lot of stuff and he will help us through this," said Nick.
If you would like to donate any clothing or money to the West family, the Ameris Bank on Inner Perimeter Road is collecting donations.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

We will provide you with a new bin when you are dropping off your Camper so you can pack up all the equipment before you leave the branch. Also remember that your Mighty handy vehicle information will be in the passenger door pocket just in case you need to refer to it during your roadtrip.

Alcohol Advisory of New ZealandCome here to find out the alcohol content of a standard drink to allow you a better understanding of your limits.
Well...duh...it's not allowed.
New Zealand takes the issue of drink driving very seriously. When you've been drinking, the chances of crashing are high. In fact, when you drive with a blood alcohol level at the legal limit (80 mg per 100ml), you are three times more likely to be involved in a crash than if you hadn't had a drink. Pretty
Please ensure that when you are driving a Mighty Campervan or Rental Car in New Zealand, you drive responsibly and safely. If you drink, don't drive.
More more information relating to drink driving limits please visit
Land Transport NZ.
Children under five years old must be properly restrained in an approved child restraint. The driver is responsible for making sure children aged under 15 years wear safety belts or are in approved child restraints.
The general urban speed limit is 50 km/h.
An urban traffic area is land close to or within a town or city. The land will generally appear fully built-up. An urban traffic area also includes partly built-up areas:
The general rural speed limit is 100 km/h. Please note that for the huge motorhomes (Double Up) this speed limit is reduced to 90km/h.
A rural area is land outside towns and cities. The level of roadside development is at a minimum. Houses in rural areas will generally be set back some distance from the road. There will be little kerbing and generally no footpaths.
Lets face it sometimes mechanical things just breakdown, sorry it just happens, despite our best efforts.
If you do need repairs there are a bunch of things you should know.
Best case scenario is you don't crash cos it is a pain in the bum, especially when you are on holiday!
If you do happen to have an accident it must be reported within 24 hours.
Please contact us toll free on: 0800 422 267.
Well, if you are having that good a time, subject to availability you can extend your rental with one quick call to a branch or our main New Zealand tollfree number 0800 422 267.
It's really important that you return your Camper at your advised branch drop off time. If you're on the road and need to remind yourself when that is, your selected drop off time is printed on your Rental Agreement. If you wish to change these times please contact our Mighty Reservation Centre.
You must make sure your fuel and LPG are full before you drop off your Camper. The fuel gauge must register as full and you must leave a receipt for the LPG bottle in the ashtray showing that it's been filled within the last 24 hours. Additional charges will apply if this hasn't been done. If you've prepaid your fuel and LPG, then don't worry - just bring everything back empty!
Unsure if you've prepaid? Check out your Rental Agreement. If you've purchased The Almighty or PGO, then you've prepaid your LPG bottle. If you've purchased PPF, then you've prepaid your fuel. Easy! Make sure you select these options when you make your booking or complete online self-check in.
You think its gross dealing with your own poo, imagine if you had to deal with a complete strangers!
Make sure your toilet is completely empty of all waste and water. You do not have to put any toilet chemicals in it. Remember if we find a surprise in the toilet cassette, you will be charged an additional $125.
Pack up your Camper - ensure that all bedding is placed in the linen bag and all crockery, pots, pans, cutlery etc is placed into a plastic bin. If you left the bin at the branch when you picked up, no worries, just grab another one from the vehicle return area. If you unpacked your Camper and left the bin at the branch when you picked up, no worries, just grab another one from the vehicle return area.
Clean up your room! - ensure that you've taken any rubbish away, swept out the floor and generally your van looks spick and span! If it's not in a respectable condition we will charge you a $250 cleaning fee. Also remember that smoking is not permitted in your Mighty Camper so this cleaning fee also applies to any smoking related cleaning.
Please leave these on the front passenger seat of your Mighty camper so we know you have returned them safe and sound. Chairs and table should be left inside your Camper (at the rear of the vehicle).
Simply leave your keys in the ignition and leave your completed checklist on the dashboard.
We will inspect your Camper and process any additional charges or refunds to your credit card. If you want details of exactly what will be processed, feel free to stop in and see our Mighty crew.
Select a few of our vehicles to work out which is the most awesome for you.

A Vacaville man was sentenced to more that 50 years in prison on Monday for the 2011 gunshot slaying of another resident as he walked home to watch a TV show with his mother.
Rico Espitia, 23, was sentenced to 50-years-to-life in prison for the July 30, 2011 gunshot slaying of 20-year-old Quinten Nears in the driveway of the Alamo Gardens Apartment complex. Nears and a friend were walking through the complex as he headed home to watch "Forensic Files" on TV when he was approached by Espitia and gunned down, according to testimony.
Espitia had been pending sentencing for more that a year, as a new attorney, Vallejo criminal defense attorney Dan Russo, took over his case and worked up a motion for a new trial.
On Monday, attorneys argued that motion, which Judge Donna Stashyn denied, but not before Russo called Solano County's former forensic pathologist, Dr. Susan Hogan to testify.
Questions have swirled around the pathologist, who abruptly left the Sheriff's department late last year, and the District Attorney's Office, who from testimony in an unrelated Vallejo homicide case allegedly voiced concerns over her performance last year, sparking an internal investigation into the pathologist's work.
Defense attorneys in the Vallejo case allege that a prosecutor and law enforcement officers secretly met with Hogan in an attempt to influence her testimony about cause of death. In arguing for a new trial on Monday, Russo asked Hogan if she had ever discussed the case with the prosecutor prior to a probable cause hearing or trial, to which she testified that she hadn't.
Espitia's trial largely hinged on witness identification, a problem for prosecutors after the man who was walking with Nears the night he was gunned down, Larry James, was not able to identify Espitia in court as the person who shot his friend. However, police testimony indicated that in a meeting with the witness on a prior occasion, an identification was made.
During questioning at trial, James had an outburst on the witness stand that cleared the courtroom.
Russo contended that the outburst should have constituted a mistrial, something that Espitia's trial council considered at the time, but felt would have worked against him in the long run.
In denying the motion, Stashyn didn't feel that Hogan's testimony was material to a motion for a new trial and accepted the prior defense attorney's reasoning for not seeking a mistrial following James' outburst.
Trial testimony indicated that Espitia and Nears had been involved in a confrontation in the parking lot of a Vacaville liquor store in the weeks prior to his death. That incident, according to testimony, included Espitia brandishing a firearm in Nears' presence.
Witnesses also placed Espitia in the apartment complex the night Nears was killed.
Minutes before the fatal shots rang out, witnesses testified that Espitia walked up to another man in the rear of the complex and assaulted him while calling him a "scrap," a derogatory name for a member of the Sureño gang.
Police testified that Espitia is a member of the rival Norteño gang.
Espitia was ordered to pay a $10,000 restitution fund fine and $5,487 to the state Victims' Compensation Board.

The year 2003 heralds the 300th anniversary of the Russian city of St. Petersburg, and the historic Mariinsky Theatre, home of the world-famous Kirov Opera and Ballet, is celebrating with the installation of new, long overdue Selecon Pacific zoom spot ballet booms.
Performances by the prestigious Royal Ballet London, New York City Ballet, and Hamburg Ballet as part of the festivities provided the push that Vladimir Lukasevich, the Mariinsky's renowned resident lighting designer, had been looking for. With support from his colleagues from the visiting ballet companies, the funding was granted to replace the outdated equipment on the ballet booms.
At the Mariinsky, as with most venues, the ability to multitask is vital, as the booms have to serve the Opera as well as the Ballet, and the Selecon Pacific zoom spots fit the bill for a variety of reasons, as Lukasevich explains. "Generally, the compact size of the 1kW luminaire and the fact that the light output is better and more effective then some 1.2kW units. However, the main reason for choosing the Pacific rather than, for example, a Source Four, is that the Source Four was designed in the US for 120V mains power, but we have 220V in Russia. As the light output is proportional to current in square, we have less to work with than our American or Japanese lighting designers from the same type of lamp. We have a big stage and cannot effectively use lamps with 575W or even 750W; we have to have at least 1kW. Also, the Pacific's heat management system means that lamps and gels last longer."
Lukasevich is one of the original converts to the Pacific range, specifying and installing them in the Mariinsky shortly after their introduction to the market, and they have performed well in their established FOH and torm positions.

Study for Previvors Choosing Breast Surveillance
Can Exercise Lower Breast Cancer Risk?
by Sue Friedman
The Women in the Steady Exercise Research (WISER) Sister study is aiding efforts to determine how exercise affects breast cancer risk. FORCE has partnered with this research since 2009 by helping to recruit threequarters of the 185 high-risk women needed for the study. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three exercise groups, which determines their exercise program during the 8-month study. All participants are compensated for their time and provided with an in-home treadmill, which they may keep free of charge upon completion of the study. Women who have joined the study benefitted from an improvement in their physical health as well as their overall well-being.
Recruitment for the WISER Sister study is expected to continue through early spring 2012, so there is still plenty of time to get involved while you get in shape. Please refer any family members who will be age 18 or older in the coming year to this exciting and important research. Women of all backgrounds are encouraged to contact the research team for more information.
Our participants are our heroes, and we're grateful for each and every one of them.
We welcome your feedback. Please send your comments to Sue Friedman or fill out our Newsletter Feedback Form.
