Hello, and welcome back to where you normally are, doing what you normally do. The long holiday weekend was great, but now it's over, so it's time to settle back into your usual routine. As such, you should probably get caught up on all the baseball news you just missed. That's why I'm here. Below, you'll find the top five stories from the past three days so you don't feel like you're behind. As a note of editorial honesty, I was otherwise occupied during the weekend myself, so we're all playing catch-up together. On we go!
Derek Jeter has returned to the Yankees from a very mildly strained calf muscle
Sadly, that means the end of our daily updates on whether he ran, and how far he ran. Following a brief rehab stint, Jeter re-joined the Yankees on Monday in Cleveland and went 0-for-4, finding the task of hitting Josh Tomlin nothing short of impossible. He'll look to continue his march towards 3,000 career regular season hits on Tuesday against Carlos Carrasco, but with Jeter these days it may be less of a march and more of a careful, cautious approach along a thin icy ridge.
Jose Reyes injured his hamstring
On Saturday, the Mets' shortstop was removed from a game with a hamstring injury that an examination later revealed to be a Grade 1 strain. As we all learned from the Derek Jeter Calf Strain Apocalypse, a Grade 1 strain is the most minor kind of strain, and since Reyes is 28 instead of 57, he is currently day-to-day and apparently won't be placed on the disabled list. Did you know that Jose Reyes has a .398 OBP? A .398 OBP! Oh wait, no, that's less impressive than the 15 triples. He has 15 triples! It's the beginning of July!
Albert Pujols could be back any minute
In the later part of June, it looked like Pujols would be out into August with a fractured forearm. Then an examination revealed excellent healing progress. Then Tony La Russa said Pujols wouldn't need a rehab assignment. Then Pujols took some swings. Then Pujols said he could return on Tuesday. It's great news for the Cardinals that Pujols will evidently return ahead of schedule because they've got their hands full with the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is a sentence that is a fact.
We have All-Star teams
The rosters have been announced, and you can find full coverage here. Jose Bautista was the leading vote-getter in baseball, which I honestly do find a little surprising given that he plays for Toronto, doesn't have a long track record of success, and isn't a big personality. I guess sometimes all you need is talent. Unless you're Andrew McCutchen. Then all the talent in the world won't get you to Arizona. A lot of people will say that the All-Star Game doesn't have any real purpose anymore. That isn't true. The purpose of the All-Star Game is to allow us to talk about snubs like Andrew McCutchen for a week and a half. So unjust!
The White Sox and Padres won games all weird-like
On Monday, in a game against the Royals, the White Sox won 5-4 on a walk-off balk committed by Aaron Crow. That's All-Star reliever Aaron Crow, mind you. But that wasn't the weirdest win of the weekend. No, that came on Saturday, when the Padres defeated the Mariners 1-0. That one run scored when Cameron Maybin walked, advanced to second, and scored on a single in the fifth. The only problem? Maybin walked on three balls, instead of the customary four. Nobody noticed. Or, if anybody did notice, nobody spoke up. There was an umpire. There were three other umpires. The Mariners had a pitcher, a catcher, a bunch of fielders, some coaches, and a dugout. Nothing. Turns out those involved pay the same amount of attention to a Mariners/Padres game as the rest of us do.

Lionel Hollins: "People are getting to see who we are."
Sports Radio Interviews has the transcript and audio up from today's Lionel Hollins interview on ESPN radio. It's well worth the listen, or at very least the read. My favorite quote: (on the bench play) "It might be a surprise to you guys but these guys have been playing this way and that's why we are where we are." ... we've been saying that all along here at SoV.

Something's Up
Three weeks prior to the April 24 release of his debut album Blunderbuss (Third Man Records/Columbia), Third Man Records has premiered the as yet unreleased Jack White album track "Freedom at 21" exclusively via 1000 flexi-disc records attached to helium balloons launched from the label headquarters in Nashville on April 1st, 2012.
Envisioned as an experiment exploring non-traditional forms of record distribution and a way to get records in the hands of people who don't visit record shops, the label was sure to use biodegradable latex balloons and all-natural twine in the process.
Accompanying the balloons were custom postcards with instructions for the finders to submit photos, discovery location and the date on which the record was found, all of which will be viewable on the map below.
Statistics for similar balloon launches show a recovery rate of approximately 10% so it's quite possible that less than 100 of the 1000 records launched will ever be discovered. Whatever the numbers, the "Freedom at 21" flexi-disc will surely be a highly sought-after collectible for years to come.

Pavano, Westbrook suffer setbacks
Newcomer to rest a few days; veteran put in rest mode
CLEVELAND -- Right shoulder soreness has pushed back Carl Pavano's next turn in the Indians' rotation, and elbow soreness has pushed back Jake Westbrook's timetable for a big league return from Tommy John ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow.

Arizona Baseball Friday night starter Konner Wade has lost five of his seven Pac-12 starts and has done so with an ERA of 5.44.
As a result he will not start the opener at UCLA this weekend.
Head coach Andy Lopez is flipping his rotation and bumping James Farris up from #2 starter to the coveted Friday night role.
Farris helped pitch Arizona to it's fourth National Championship last June when he held South Carolina to a run on two hits over seven and two-thirds innings of the Game 2 clincher won by the Wildcats 4-1.
Farris' Pac-12 numbers aren't tremendously better than Wade's. He's just 1-3 in his seven conference starts with a 4.29 ERA. But his stuff has been more consistent and Wade's confidence is at a season-low after he was blitzed by Washington last weekend allowing eight earned runs and 11 hits in three-plus innings of a 23-1 home loss.
The Wildcats are 10-11 in Pac-12 play and after losing two-of-three at home to the Huskies must scramble back to assure themselves an NCAA Tournament spot and a chance to defend their championship.
Arizona trails league leading Oregon State (17-4) by seven games in the standings. UCLA is ranked 8th in the nation and currently sits in 3rd place in the Pac-12, four games ahead of UA.

I hope you had a pleasant Festivus yesterday. Did you get some things off your chest during the airing of grievances? Did you successfully pin the head of household during the feats of strength?
There's not much out there today. This is probably because it's an extended holiday weekend, baseball is still months away from mattering to everyone besides people like us, and because basically every potential target of the Texas Rangers this offseason is not a Texas Ranger.
Nevertheless, the DMN provides a recap of Thad Levine's appearance on Jim Bowden's XM Radio show. Levine talks about how the Rangers weren't in on some free agents that were tied to the team through rumors and also admits that the Rangers have (or had) been trying to acquire Justin Upton without including Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar.
And, uh, here's a pre-Christmas Power Rankings from David Schoenfield. That's right. Power Rankings in December.
Did you know that there is supposed to be a low of 27 degrees in Arlington, TX tomorrow? Why that's cold enough to be Christmas.

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.

vacation rental description
Enjoy the view of Riverside Park, the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge in our well laid out Upper West Side studio. This is the perfect location for professional, educators, retirees, and grandparents visiting and working in NYC.
The neighbor is safe and quite; only 2 blocks from all of the restaurants, groceries, and shops on Broadway, 3 blocks from Amsterdam. You can get almost anywhere on the NYC bus and subway system – there are 3 bus lines within 1 block and the subway station is 2 blocks on Broadway.
Riverside Park is across street which offers great walking/jogging/biking paths, clay tennis courts, and a pool during the summer. Conveniently located near Columbia University.
The building has very friendly 24 hour doorman, elevators, nice clean laundry room. The layout of the studio is nice because there is a separate area for the living room and the bed. Our unit was recently converted to condos so everything is new.
Queen bed and fold out (full bed) couch provides separate sleeping and living space including 2 large closets, cable TV, high speed-wireless, domestic phone calls, all new appliances, linens, fully equipped top-of-the-line kitchen (sub-zero refrigerator, Miele stainless steel gas cook tops and ovens, dishwasher), thermostat controlled heat and air conditioning, and heated bathroom floor.

Subject: AIVF urges tolerance & balanced reporting
Dear friend of AIVF:
It's hard to avoid hyperbole, but I thought it was important to try. You may
know that the AIVF offices are just eleven blocks north of the World Trade
Center. Our offices and staff are unharmed. However, we fear that over the
days to come we will learn that many of our colleagues are not.
The area is cordoned off, and AIVF offices will remain closed through this
week. I know you will understand if events are suspended and the next few
issues of The Independent come out a little late. We are not yet sure when
we will be able to reopen.
Meanwhile, I encourage you -- as citizens who support independent media and
hope for responsible reporting of events -- to contact your local news
outlets to commend their coverage if you feel it merits such praise. Or, if
warranted, to urge news outlets to tone down the bellicose tone of their
coverage: it hurts their credibility, and only fans the flames of anger and
hate. Likewise, we encourage you to do whatever you can in your community to
encourage tolerance and diffuse racial tensions that may escalate.
This was a tragic, barbaric act. However, the tragedy will be multiplied if
we as a nation react in kind. If this crime incites individuals, and indeed
our nation, to commit further acts of aggression against innocent people,
then the criminals who have perpetrated this heinous act have achieved a
measure of success.
We know that Americans are grieved and outraged. We pray that they will find
constructive channels of response.
With our best wishes,
executive director, AIVF/FIVF
publisher, THE INDEPENDENT
support the organization that supports you!

Candidly Speaking: Netanyahu speaks for Israelis
10/03/2012 23:35
With threats confronting Israel on so many levels, it is not surprising that most Israelis united in support of their prime minister.

It was largely due to his unremitting warnings and threats of unilateral preemptive action, that the US and Europe belatedly imposed sanctions and began paying lip service to utilizing military force as a last resort should sanctions fail to impact.
Unfortunately in the midst of this, a number of disgruntled former Israeli intelligence chiefs began publicly casting doubt about Israel's capacity to confront Iran alone. Whether they were right or wrong cannot be confirmed. But their irresponsible outbursts did reassure the Iranians that Netanyahu was bluffing and discouraged the US from adopting a tougher stand.
Regrettably, US President Barack Obama's track record of resorting to decisive military action is dismal and despite his assurances that the US would never enable the Iranians to attain a nuclear military status, it is hard to visualize this administration undertaking decisive military action on its own initiative.
Netanyahu therefore pleaded with Obama to draw red lines in relation to Iranian nuclear development, which when crossed would either enable Israel to act or result in the United States itself making a military move.
Obama cynically dismissed Netanyahu's pleas as "noise" which he pledged to block out. His simultaneous reference to Israel merely being "one of our leading allies in the region" signaled that he no longer felt obliged to pursue his "charm offensive" towards the Jews in relation to Israel. That was further confirmed when he snubbed Netanyahu by refusing to meet him in the course of his visit to the US, despite finding time to appear on TV talk shows.
With the threats currently confronting Israel on so many levels, it is not surprising that most Israelis united in support of their prime minister.
However this did not extend to the preposterous responses emanating from some opposition leaders or the left-wing Israeli media.
launched a loathsome campaign accusing Netanyahu of exploiting the Iranian threat as a means of promoting the presidential candidacy of his "friend" Romney This encouraged the pathetic leader of Kadima, Shaul Mofaz, to make one of the most irresponsible outbursts ever made by an Israeli opposition leader. In the Knesset he asked: "Prime Minister, tell me who is our biggest enemy, the US or Iran? Who do you want replaced Ahmadinejad or Obama?" Needless to say these pathetic attacks were quoted by the increasingly hostile liberal American media as well as left-wing American Jews who began chanting their mantras about "Bibi interfering in domestic US politics."
One leading Jewish-American commentator made the absurd statement: "I've never seen an Israeli PM who has so mismanaged Israel-US relations." This even emboldened a number of Democratic congressman to voice their condemnation of Netanyahu.
UNDOUBTEDLY, NETANYAHU would prefer Romney, who consistently expresses support for Israel, to become president rather than Obama, who personally loathes him and exhibits little positive chemistry towards Israel.
But the reality is that Netanyahu has assiduously avoided engaging in the US presidential elections, and on occasion, even lavishly praised Obama. It is surely outrageous to accuse the prime minister of Israel of meddling in US domestic politics because he relates to the need to impose red lines on an issue that has genuine existential implications for his country.
The United Nations reflects the prevailing global malaise. Last Monday, Ahmadinejad bizarrely attended a UN summit on "the rule of law" where he accused Israel of being a "fake regime" which "will be eliminated."
Two days later, on Yom Kippur, representatives of all UN nations – except the US and Canada – listened respectfully while the genocidal Holocaust denier, a brutal dictator, preached morality to them.
Obama's subsequent address dealt primarily with the Muslim riots. Much of it condemned the crude anti- Islamic film, for which the US was never responsible.
Yet he only made passing mention of the state sanctioned hate propaganda against Christians and Jews which dominates the Islamic world.
In relation to Iran, despite failed US diplomacy, he not only omitted any reference to red lines but even failed to state – as he had in the past – that all options were open if the Iranians continued their drive towards nuclearization.
The following day, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of criminal activity and threatened a new intifada unless Israelis capitulated to his demands. This followed his earlier meeting with Alan Dershowitz and a few other naive Jews to whom Abbas had pledged he would take a more moderate line towards Israel.
He was followed by Netanyahu, who bent over backwards in his UN address to be bipartisan, thanking Obama, ignoring his snubs and playing down any tension between them. He claimed that the objective of both Israel and America was to act as a barrier against "the forces of medievalism which seek a world in which death rather than life is glorified." He warned of the dangers of a "nuclear-armed al-Qaida" and predicted that "red lines" would prevent rather than lead to war.
He visually displayed a red line on the sketch of a bomb with a fuse to illustrate Iran's progress in amassing sufficient enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb which he predicted would be achieved by the summer of 2013. The sketch was denigrated as childish by churlish Israeli politicians and much of the liberal media but proved to be extraordinarily effective and received wide exposure.
WE FACE difficult times. Despite reassuring statements made by both parties, there is no denying that the USIsrael relationship is exceedingly fragile. There is a mutual lack of confidence between Obama and Netanyahu. All the White House seeks from Israel are further concessions being extended to the Palestinians.
In the meantime, while the Middle East region is undergoing profound upheavals, the Iranians are enjoying the spectacle of "Big Satan" and "Little Satan" sparring with one another as they progress relentlessly towards their nuclear objective.
Understandably, many Israelis are deeply concerned with the prospect of Obama being reelected and seeking to impose indefensible 1949 armistice lines as his first step to implementing Middle East peace.
To be an Israeli leader is a thankless task. Our most important objective must now be to set aside minor differences and on this occasion unite in support of our government and Netanyahu.
There is an enormous reservoir of goodwill to Israel among Americans at the grass roots level. If they see that our prime minister speaks on behalf of the overwhelming majority of his citizens on this issue, they will realize that the allegations against him meddling in US domestic politics are simply untrue.
It will also encourage them to pursue their own interests by exerting public pressure on their politicians to tighten the screws and take whatever measures necessary to forestall the global Iranian nuclear threat.

It's been two years since Todd Haynes' outstanding HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce," and frankly that's two years too long. But he's quietly been brewing some projects in the background. Earlier this year, it was announced he was teaming with Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska for "Carol," based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, but not much has been heard since. Now, another project is surfacing and it could find him working again with an actor who has anchored his more musical-based films.
Christian Bale, who starred in the glamtacular "Velvet Goldmine" and the Bob Dylan anti-biopic "I'm Not There," has been offered the lead role in "Act Of God." If Bale takes the part, he'll play a regular Kansas man who gains notoriety across the nation after taking his local government to task following a devastating tornado. This is going be less natural disaster drama and more of a political exploration if it's anything like what Haynes told us about the project last year.
"It's sort of about the great middle of this country and their sort of suspicions about government," he told us in an interview. "And how that keeps clicking into conservative politics and the way the right makes use of those uncertainties. There's interesting reasons why people feel the way they do, outside of the coasts and outside of the clear liberal orthodoxy, and that interests me. It's been too effective, that allegiance, for too many years, and I'm curious about it. So we're kind of getting inside that process."
There's no word if the project has backing or when it might shoot, but we'd wager this is the kind of movie that lives or dies on drawing a big name. We'd guess if Bale signs—and his schedule seems pretty clear at the moment—all the other pieces will start falling into place.
We sincerely hope it does come together, not just because it sounds like killer material, but also because it's been too long since the last Haynes feature. [The Tracking Board]
Not in the near future | July 31, 2013 6:02 PM
His schedule's pretty clear?! This will not happen any time soon. Exodus starts shooting in September and it'll go on for mooooonths!
Taylor Jones | July 28, 2013 10:55 AM
If Christian Bale signs for this but can only do it in October---when supposedly "Carol" would start filming---then please do this instead, especially if it's an original script with Haynes as a writer. I'll see anything Haynes releases, but I get the sense that if they miss out on "Carol" this go-round, it stands a better chance to live another day, perhaps even with Blanchett still on board.
JenT | July 27, 2013 4:35 PM
I Live in Tulsa,OK We as a Nation MUST look at Truth. MOST of those in Office want to stay because of all the Perks that come with the job. And as we see Once they get a Taste of it they never want to do anything else....they may say its because they want to Help people but they really don't. At least when it comes to Truth. I am Left of Left BECAUSE the Right is & has almost Always been so VERY WRONG. Good Luck w/your Film.
JP | July 27, 2013 1:58 PM
What the hell is going on with "Carol"? It went from being DOA to having Haynes and Weinstein on board, and now nothing again. So incredibly frustrating.
David | July 26, 2013 11:16 PM
Here's to hoping it actually gets made after he's done with "Carol".
Northern Star | July 26, 2013 10:46 PM
Whatever suspicions about government "the great middle of the country" - and even that term alone denotes a condescending attitude from Haynes - has have been completely justified of late... NSA, IRS, Benghazi, the absolute lawlessness of this current Administration... 'nuff said.
oogle monster | July 26, 2013 10:13 PM
IN HAYNES WE TRUST. Seriously- this man is so underrated. He doesn't get the same attention that Scorsese or Malick, but he's a once in a generation talent. Far From Heaven is one of the greatest films in the last few decades of film.
Taylor Jones | July 26, 2013 10:03 PM
It's a familiar phenomenon but I trust Haynes has something interesting to say about it or at least a fantastic way to portray/dramatize the familiar. His films have a weird way to both operate academically and emotionally, so him making something politically themed doesn't seem that too far removed from his wheelhouse. As a Kansan, I'd love for him to film here, but obviously one must go where it's cheapest. I cannot recall the last genuinely interesting fictional political film in both content and form. "The Ides of March" was flat and visually inert.

Who hasn't complained about our snowy, cold winter? John
Chiantis in Sylvania hasn't.
He's turned his backyard into a skating rink and much more. All
John his rink lacks is a Zamboni to smooth out the ice.
Chiantis built it in January, first shoveling snow into place then
flooding it with water from a garden hose.
"Well, I used to build rinks every year when the kids were
younger," he said. "And I heard we'd have this big storm and it was a perfect
time to do it."
He added some nice touches to his rink: There's a snow sofa, fire
pit, grill and a sculpted lion's head.
"You build this any way you want," he said. "I don't use
plastic. It's just water and snow. Have fire and music, get tired of skating,
go in and warm up. It's always here."
Speaking of a warm up, temperatures are expected to reach 50
degrees next week. That means the rink won't always be there, but Chiantis
says he'll be ready to re-build, weather permitting.
"Long live the cold weather."

The former chief deputy in the Delaware County Register of Wills & Clerk of Orphans' Court, who was being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Division's Economic Crimes Unit, has been charged with stealing funds.
Christine Trout, a 32-year county employee, was fired from her position in November 2012 when the investigation began but had not been arrested or charged.
Trout has been charged with theft by deception, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and related offenses in connection with stealing more than $160,000 from the office over five years, according to court documents.
Trout, 52, of Glenolden, turned herself in to authorities Friday morning on the third degree, felony charges, according to Delaware County District Attorney Public Affairs Officer Emily Harris.
According to the DA, an internal audit in November 2012 showed that Trout was possibly stealing cash from payments made to the Register of Wills. A financial analysis was conducted by the Delaware County Investigation Division and revealed that Trout had allegedly been stealing cash from the Register of Wills since January 2007.
Trout admitted to the theft through a statement to detectives, according to Harris.
Trout allegedly stole cash in two way; by removing cash from files at the end of the work day after she collected the finished work of subordinate employees, or the following morning when she conducted the banking for the Register of Wills and would alter the transaction report to disguise her actions, according to Harris.
Trout also would allegedly void completed transactions, take cash that had paid for those transactions, and adjust reports so there would be no record of the theft, according to Harris.
"It is unfortunate when government workers, or anyone serving the public for that matter, breach the trust instilled in them by the people for their own selfish gain. Those who do so will be held strictly accountable," said District Attorney Jack Whelan in a statement. "Our Economic Crime Unit is dedicated to thoroughly investigating all matters of theft and fraud. I want to commend Chief Joseph Ryan and Lt. Detective Charles List, Detective William Wright and Detective Matthew Cresta for their exemplary work on this complicated case which took a great amount of time and effort."

Track & field finishes the NCAA East Preliminary Round
Related Links
The JU track & field team closed out the 2011 season with a school record in the 4x400-meter relay on Saturday at the NCAA East Preliminary Round.
Sophomore Bienna Freeman (55.9), senior Danielle Davenport (53.3), sophomore Joane Pierre (55.9) and senior Unique Singleton (53.0) tallied a new program-time of 3:38.24 to finish 14th, just two places outside of a spot into the national meet.
"The relay competed very well today," said JU head coach Ron Grigg. "Setting the school record is a nice way to end the season. I know our seniors are disappointed that they couldn't end their careers at nationals. Danielle, Unique and Ronnisha (Hall) have advanced our program to new levels and for that I can't thank them enough. For our underclassmen, this was a valuable experience that will make us better for the future."
Despite the end, the 2011 season was another strong year for the Dolphins after securing the A-Sun Indoor and Outdoor titles for the sixth year in a row.
Singleton (Outstanding Track Performer) and Hall (Outstanding Field Performer) took the top two honors at the outdoor championships, while Pierre was the "Most Outstanding Track Performer" at the indoor meet. Freeman set the 800-meter school record during the outdoor season and another JU regional competitor, junior Stacey Young, won MVP honors at the outdoor championships in Jacksonville.

Passionate about philanthropy
When he announced early this year that he'd be leaving his job as President of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation, all of Tom Hewitt's friends and co-workers asked him the same question: "Why?"
His answer was complicated. It was also very personal, and because of that there were people who just couldn't get their minds around Tom's explanation.
He said there were many reasons, but the bottom line was that he was leaving one of Canada's top healthcare institutions to accept a job as Chief Development Officer at one of Canada's top universities because he considers it an honour to serve his alma mater.
Says Tom, "I told people this wasn't just another gig. I'm a Queen's graduate – Artsci'82, I met my wife [Trish (Cowan) Artsci'84, Ed'84] here, and I've always felt a strong affinity for the University. This is a very special place to me."
But we live in cynical times, and doubtless there were those in the crowd that gathered for Tom's Ottawa farewell party who remained skeptical that this was the true story, or else they'd made up their minds that he was making a big mistake.
Having now had the chance to meet and talk with Tom Hewitt, I can assure those who were (if you'll excuse the expression) "doubting Thomas", that they were mistaken. Tom meant every word he said. He's passionate about his work. He's personable, sincere, forthright. He means what he says. That latter quality befuddles some people. I can also report that Tom has made the right move in coming to Queen's, – both for himself and for the University.
He and I sat down for a chat the other day. As we did so, I couldn't help but notice the view from the window of his second-floor office in Summerhill.
Whenever Tom peers out, he sees Lower Campus, Theological Hall, and iconic Grant Hall. How much more "Queen'sy" does it get than that?
On the floor next to his desk, propped against the wall are a series of framed sketches of campus buildings that Tom bought many years ago because they summoned to mind so many pleasant memories. Now he's found the perfect spot to hang them, along with a framed copy of a "from-the-heart" Letter to the Editor that he wrote to the Review in the fall of 1997. In that missive, he thanked everyone at Queen's who had made the annual Homecoming reunion such a special time for him and his Artsci'82 classmates. Tom's executive assistant at the Ottawa Heart Institute had the letter framed, and she presented it to him at his farewell. He appreciated the kindness, which touched him deeply.
Tom plans to hang the framed letter and those Queen's scenes on his office wall – if ever he can find the time. Tom has been crazy busy since he began work on May 1.
"I came back here because I love the people, the institution, and all that it stands for," he says. "I like the direction Principal Woolf is taking, and the fact that Tom Harris is the Vice-Principal (Advancement). He's worked in the private sector and has been a leader at Queen's as a Dean. He brings a really interesting perspective to his job. He's seen first-hand the value of philanthropy to the University."
"If you make the case for philanthropy and do so in a compelling way, people will be inspired to help. They'll do so because they will see it's for a greater good and because everyone benefits. That's why I'm so passionate about philanthropy. If I didn't believe I could help Queen's, I wouldn't be here."
Tom Hewitt is well aware that he, V-P Harris, and everyone else on the Advancement team, are facing major challenges. Everyone at Queen's is. But Tom says the opportunities are great and preparations for a major fundraising campaign are underway. The challenge is one he accepts and even relishes. He's up-front about that and everything else about his job.
At age 52, he's a seasoned fundraiser with an impressive track record. He was honoured as the "top fundraising executive" for the year 2000 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Ottawa Chapter, and was awarded the Margye S. Baumgardner Scholarship from the Association for Fundraising Professionals Executive Leadership Institute in 2003. He has been working in development – at three Ottawa healthcare institutions – since 1988.
"Though I served two terms on University Council, I've been away from Queen's for a while, and so I've gained an outsider's perspective. I see the need to remind alumni and friends of the University about all the good things that are happening here. We also need to educate those people who don't know what's going at Queen's," says Tom.
He believes, fervently so, that "excellence doesn't just happen by accident." And Queen's has been one of this country's top universities for many years because of the excellence of its students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
"If you make the case for philanthropy and do so in a compelling way, people will be inspired to help. They'll do so because they will see it's for a greater good and because everyone benefits. That's why I'm so passionate about philanthropy. If I didn't believe I could help Queen's, I wouldn't be here."
Interestingly, Tom ended that 1997 Letter to the Editor by stating that he hoped one day to repay all of the favours Queen's has done him. I have the feeling he'll do that – and more — in the coming years.

The Durham Police Department said it has been made aware of a march and vigil for Jesus Huerta Thursday.
Police said that although no one has attempted to obtain a permit for this event, police will allow the march to be held. Participants will need to use the public plaza and sidewalks.
The Durham Police Department said it contacted the Huerta's attorney who directed the department to the event coordinator, Rafael Estrada Maya.
"While we obtained a telephone number for Rafael Estrada Maya, he declined to speak about the event and hung up," said Deputy Chief Larry Smith.
Maya is also believed to have coordinated the march on Nov. 22, which became disorderly when participants threw road flares and firecrackers, damaged a police car and broke windows at Durham Police Headquarters.

"If in the future, the Huerta family wishes to place a memorial or hold a vigil themselves on the parking lot of Police Headquarters, the Police Department is willing to work directly with them or through their attorney to make such arrangements," said Durham Police Chief Jose L. Lopez Sr.

Hell Yeah, a game about the prince of Hell is inspired by Ren & Stimpy, Pixar, and a boring meeting
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
- 360
Camille Guermonprez, president and co-founder of Arkedo Studios, creators of Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is eccentric. So are his studio's games, and so is the studio. He wouldn't have it any other way. "I hid a secret restaurant in Arkedo, so I could cook for my friends," he told the Penny Arcade Report. "I almost had my own restaurant, but my wife said no, so what I did is I hid a restaurant in Arkedo." He would then go on to talk about the benefits of organic fruits and veggies to a person's diet and how just down the street was a lovely farmer's market he frequented for his ingredients.
I gently reminded him that Hell Yeah! had just released on Steam. "Oh yeah!" He seemed almost disappointed we weren't scheduled to talk about cooking.
Wrath of the frustrated developers
Hell Yeah! began as a joke among Guermonprez and his co-founder, Aurelien Regard. Guermonprez spoke of a frustrating, stagnant time with a publisher who didn't seem to "get" the games Arkedo wanted to make. Arkedo has worked with Eidos, Success, and Southpeak Interactive in the past. He neglected to say who the publisher in question was, but he wasn't shy about detailing his reactions.
"We kept promising after a not-so-great meeting we were going to make a game where we would lash out and be able to kill monsters. The next meeting we were promising each other there was going to be blood on the wall. The meeting after that, we decided it was going to be completely silly, and we were just going to have extreme fun," Guermonprez said. "That was basically the thing. The whole frustration we felt during this period, we managed to turn it into some creative energy and made this game for our inner 12-year old."
Guermonprez and Regard followed through on their joke and created a demo for the Game Connection, a sort of job-fair gathering of major studios and publishers. "It works a bit like blind dates: you have 30-minute slots in a very small area, you pitch your game, and at the end of the three days, you know if your game is going to have a publisher or not," Guermonprez told me. He and Regard did get a partner, but not before asking for some allowances.
"We said, 'We need to have nine months, without interaction with the publisher. We need to really be able to make a first loop of the game by ourselves, and then we'd love to have your feedback. But is it possible to have you leave us completely alone for the next nine months? And of course, we keep the IP because that's what Arkedo has been doing from the very start.'" There was a pause. It seemed like a lot for an independent to ask. "SEGA said yes, and we ended up partnering with them."
Give 'em hell
Hell Yeah! is the story of Ash, the undead rabbit prince of Hell. Ash is meant to rule over the land with an iron fist, but he has a thing for rubber duckies. The paparazzi sneak some pics of Ash enjoying some… alone time with a duckie and soon he's off to kill all 100 of the monsters who've seen them. The 2D game is as bright and colorful as Rayman Origins, but it fits more into the "Metroidvania" style where Ash acquires power-ups that allow him to backtrack and explore labyrinthine levels.
The game just released on Steam, but unless you have a console-style controller to connect to your PC, I'd recommend looking for it on XBLA or PSN instead.
Ash will get a spinning metal blade, a rocket launcher, a machine gun and more, and certain enemies are resistant to certain attacks or vulnerable to others, so you have to be aware of your surroundings and tactics. You don't want to waste the rocket launcher, which has only a few shots, on a swam of enemies. Instead, switch to the machine gun and spray in swathing arcs. Likewise, you can't use the blade on metal enemies. It never gets too complex or difficult, but the game definitely has a Mega Man vibe in how you approach enemies.
Things become fun when you face one of the game's 100 monsters. You'll have to whittle down their health however you can, and once you do the game will cut to a mini-game sequence. There are all manner of these, with crazy, over-the-top animations. In one, Ash jumps into a rocket that launches into the sky only to come crashing down violently into his target. In another, he steals honey from a robotic bee, then plants it on the monster, causing a swarm of angry mecha-insects to descend. There are some repeats, but not many, and it's always satisfying to watch Ash's bloody revenge.
Once you've defeated a monster, they're banished to an island where you can assign them various jobs that affect the main game. You can assign monsters to the mine for example, and they'll give you free bonus cash. Ash is a fair ruler, so you have to keep monsters happy to get the most out of their labor. If they get too sad, send them to the beach. It's cute and funny, and it adds a layer to the game other than the "go forward, kill everything" game play of the main game.
Hell Yeah! loses appeal if you try to play for too long, which Guermonprez acknowledged. The studio likes to focus on smaller, more digestible titles, and that's where their experience lies. Still, the game put a smile on my face and thanks to monsters never being too far apart from each other, it's easy to jump in for 20 minutes, get lunch, and come back.
Hell Yeah! is the largest of the studio's games so far, and was crafted by a team of 10: the six core Arkedo team members and several outside "extras." Guermonprez said even that was too many people. In the future, the studio will be broken into two teams of three, that will compete against each other. The studio encourages friendly taunting.
Lessons learned
Much of Hell Yeah!'s appeal is in its humor. The crude designs of monsters – one is a pile of poop with a chainsaw sticking out the top – plus the demented nature of the story itself should be enjoyed by anyone who grew up with a love of cartoons like Ren & Stimpy.
Guermonprez said that show was indeed an influence, but there have been many others. "France is a very cool place because we are right in the middle of of Japan and the US, so you have the anime, you have the cartoons, you have the comics, you have the mangas, you have two different cultures, and we are right in the middle. We were fed all that culture when we were kids," Guermonprez said.
Another major inspiration: Pixar. Try to picture Wall-E, but you know, in Hell. "When you watch a [Pixar] movie, and the kids are laughing, and the parents are laughing, and they're looking at the same screen, but they're not laughing for the same reason," Guermonprez explained. He said that Hell Yeah! attempts to tell jokes that similarly work on various levels.
There are many languages in the world, but a smile and laughter are universal. "We have a common history as gamers," Guermonprez said, "And that's what brings us together. It's a thousand times stronger than what separates us sociologically. I really believe that we are starting from so much common ground, especially indie guys who are generally avid gamers and have been playing for quite a long time."
"We have been sucking up to the same tit, if I may, for years and years."
One key principle was that the jokes not be aimed at anyone in a hurtful way. "Our goal was to lash out as much as possible, but at the same time, we tried not to be obscene or rude or offensive," Guermonprez said. The odd style has led to some mixed reviews. "We've been getting 4s and 8s, mostly. Hopefully one day we'll have a hit," he said. Still, he didn't seem too down about the fact. "The trip is much better than the destination, because we are doing the thing we want, and we are having tremendous fun doing it."
Guermonprez counted off the studio's priorities. "We're based on pride, having fun, great food, and eventually making games."

Burglars strike in run-up to Christmas (From Southend Standard)

Burglars strike in run-up to Christmas
12:00pm Friday 16th November 2012 in News
HOUSE burglaries have soared in the run up to Christmas, with 46 break-ins so far this month.
It is expected crooks are targeting homes across Southend to stock up on their presents for the festive season.
The figures for November are higher than last year, when just 40 were reported by this point of the month.
It appears to be a worrying trend as the Echo reported how break-ins suddenly surged in December last year.
Mel Scarlett, 33, of Park Street, Westcliff, was one of the victims targeted.
She said: "Nearly a year later my children are still scared to go upstairs at night on their own so now we've got to move. We are actually looking at other properties.
" It's that time of year again so I'm worried now that I'm going to be burgled again. It's sick - why don't they just go out and get a job like the rest of us?
"The problem is they don't get sentenced properly, they get let off with community service or a slap on the wrist."
Mrs Scarlett 's business Scarlett Fireplaces, in London Road, Westcliff, was also ransacked for £10,000 of tools just two weeks beforehand.
Insp Brad Dickel, of Leigh police, urged people to be extra careful as the nights draw in.
He said: "Now more than ever with the evenings drawing in and Christmas presents being purchased, I would urge everyone to consider leaving lamps on or fitting fairly inexpensive timers if returning home late from work or consider asking a friend or neighbour to ensue curtains are pulled if going on holiday.
" Allowing neighbours use of driveways to park cars in the owner's absence has proven another means of avoiding being targeted."
He said covert patrols had been stepped up significantly and they were being assisted by other departments within the police.
If you spot any suspicious behaviour call 101 or 999 in an emergency.

......Yeah, right, and they will send someone tomorrow between 8 am and 5 pm to take notes. Until the culprits are treated in a way that reflects their crime, sod all will change. It's a crime that causes massive distress to the victim, but one which the courts deem to consider relatively low down on its scale of seriousness . The sooner we are allowed to shoot the perpetrators, the better.

The problem is very few professional burglars actually get caught regularly. The only ones that get caught are the spur of the moment ones who are just doing it for a quick fix. The ones doing it for a living have got it down to a fine art.

Queen's wins healthy workplace award
Queen's recently won a healthy workplace award at Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Public Health's Workplace Wellness conference held in early June. Shannon Casteels, Workplace Advisor, Health and Wellness Programs, Human Resources, accepted the award on behalf of the university.
The Healthy U at Queen's program was developed in late 2006 as a health and wellness initiative to centralize the many existing programs and offer health-specific programs and workshops to all employees. With more than 4,000 employees representing various occupations and faculties on campus, the diversity of health and wellness needs is vast.
There are many wellness facets on campus, including Athletics and Recreation programs, multiple libraries, the Chaplin's office, and the Department of Environmental Health and Safety. These areas administer many of their own programs and courses ranging from "Lifting through Lunch" and "Lifting through Breakfast" weightlifting programs for women over the lunch hour, to certification in CPR and first aid.
There is also an interactive Healthy U at Queen's website filled with monthly health tips, articles, links, and updates about initiatives from around campus. The site is available at: http://healthyu.hr.queensu.ca/index.html
A health risk assessment was also conducted last year to get a better understanding of the current health needs and practices of our staff, says Ms. Casteels. "The feedback was fantastic, and many of the areas of interest are further being examined and implemented," she said upon acceptance of the award.
Healthy U at Queen's has also run two highly successful health fairs highlighting Queen's services and services from the community, as well as educating employees.

A proposal being debated in Congress would give the U.S. Border Patrol a free hand to build roads, camera towers, helicopter pads and living quarters without any of the outside scrutiny that can modify or even derail plans to extend its footprint. The changes would waive environmental reviews on federal lands within 100 miles of Mexico and Canada for the sake of border security. The U.S. House approved the bill authored by Utah Republican Rob Bishop in June. But prospects in the Democratic-controlled Senate are extremely slim. And chances of President Barack Obama's signature even slimmer. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano testified in Congress this year that the bill was unnecessary and "bad policy."

Measuring the Business Value of Information Technology: Introduction
Organizations large and small face the same dilemma: scarce resources. Choosing and deploying the right solution to maximize an organization's performance, to satisfy customers, and to make and maintain a profit has never been more critical. Information technology, in particular, often loses its significance as a major contributing success factor in an organization's strategic objectives because it is predominantly considered a function within an organization that is not integral to achieving business objectives. Consequently, budgets are squeezed year after year as IT organizations inevitability drift towards the "cost center" perception, and not toward being the competitive differentiator that IT has the potential to be.
As a Human Factors Engineer (HFE) and someone who has worked in the IT industry for many years, I consider this a myopic and potentially dangerous notion for any organization. It is critical for IT organizations to alter their thinking and identify not only the cost, but the value that IT brings to the enterprise. How can this be done? Measure the bottom-line impact of information technology to reveal its true value and enable allocation of resources in the most essential areas.

A Very Special Home Away From Home
Inn Wine Country Summers House, a rustic contemporary country house and architectural gem designed by award winning architect Robert Zinkhan, has welcomed guests and embraced wonderful gatherings since constructed by the Summers family in the late 1970's.
"The house as art" is Robert Zinkhan's goal. In designing Summers house he achieved his goal and created a home beautifully integrated into the natural landscape.
Design And Decor
Summers House features Mexican paver tile floors, a beautifully tiled, handcrafted, fully equipped kitchen, and a large fireplace constructed from cobblestone chippings left behind when Chinese laborers removed native stones to pave the streets of San Francisco during the 19th century. Historic tumbling rock walls built by the Chinese have recently been restacked to enhance the landscape, while maintaining the property's historical integrity. Native American arrowheads found on the property have provided additional reminders of the past.
Comfortable and practical leather furnishings complement antiques, art, and the house's natural cedar walls and exposed beams. A large 18th Century European dining table comfortably seats eight guests. A quarter sawn oak upright piano, a part of the family for 52 years, has recently been restored and tuned.
Three bedrooms, all with lofts, and two bathrooms welcome groups of six (up to eight with approval.) The master bedroom boasts an extremely comfortable king sized bed, and Jacuzzi bathtub. The two bedrooms which once housed the Summers children, feature queen sized beds and share a bathroom accessible from both bedrooms.
An enormous deck spans the south side of the house and captures views of Mt. Tamalpias, the San Francisco Bay, and Haywood Vineyards through which you drive to reach the house. Views can be enjoyed from the living areas as well, and sunsets are breathtaking.
Wind up one of the most scenic country roads in Sonoma to reach Summers House, located on a private country property in east side Sonoma. Drive through vineyards, pass by Ravenswood Winery, and climb up into the hills where the house is nestled on a wooded hillside where wildlife abounds. Drive slowly as the road is a hiker's paradise and wildlife crossing.
Sonoma ~ A Special Place For Your Vacation
Sonoma Plaza tasting rooms, restaurants, shops, galleries, historic sites; and art, cultural, film, food, wine, entertainment events are just three miles away. Enjoy Sonoma's Farmers Market in Sonoma Plaza on Tuesday evenings and in Depot Park on Friday mornings.
Summers House is perfect for intimate reunions, getting together with family and friends, bridal parties, girlfriend's getaways, housing relatives, and housing your family during a business trip to the wine country. It is centrally located for visits to Sonoma, Carneros and Napa wineries. San Francisco and Pacific Coast beaches are one hour away.
Summers House has been the pride and joy of its owners for more 30 years. It has provided the setting for many family-owned business gatherings, which have supported food, wine and art endeavors including Sonoma Salute to the Arts and the Napa Valley Mustard Festival. It is an inspired and inspiring home with a special sense of place.
It has embraced family holidays, parties and weddings, most recently the wedding of Tannia Summers and Milan Bollot of Toulouse and Paris, France ~ hence this new offering of a very special setting for guests to base their wine country summer vacations. (Owners Dave and Pat Summers plan to travel to France as often as possible to visit Tannia, Milan, and their young granddaughter, Bianca Renée Claire Bollot).
Beneath the house from a separate, private drive and entry, the Summers maintain a home office from which to direct food, wine, art, and travel promotions. They will be delighted to offer unofficial concierge services to guests who wish to drop by and glean insider tips.
Winter is a wonderful time to visit the wine country. Bring family and friends to celebrate the Thanksgiving and New Year's holidays. Christmas shop for unique gifts during the month of November. Shops around Sonoma Plaza offer personalized service and free gift-wrapping. Attend Sonoma Valley Olive Festival events in January and February, and Napa Valley Mustard Festival events from January 30 through March 27. Take in a movie at Sebastiani Theater. Dine at fabulous restaurants without reserving months ahead of time. Visit tasting rooms and enjoy the best service of the year. Purchase wine with no worries about it overheating in the car.
Summers House is available for weekend, mid-week, week-long and full-month visits every month of the year, with the exception of December. Call owner Pat Summers for assistance with transportation, tours, and stays complete with event tickets and limousine service.
