I just wanted to share with all my Farmall friends that 40 years ago today Annie did me the great honor of becoming my wife. She has stuck by me through thick and thin (mostly thin) and a kinder more loving wife I could never ask for. It has been the best 40 years of my life.
In this era of "throw away" marriages, we think we have done pretty good.

We've known all season (and before) that the Tigers' placekicking is terrible. Dabo claims to have personally worked with this unit in practice the week leading up to the loss at Florida State. I think the block (low kick) and miss (blamed on early snap) show that he didn't get results. So who else is involved in the program that can help get this fixed?
It should be Andre Powell's job, but I don't think he has much insight into placekicking. We have a history of kickers struggling under his instruction (see Richard Jackson) and I've seen little to suggest Powell can contribute much more to special teams than figuring out that CJ Spiller would be a good return man. I will concede that his coverage teams have been respectable, but Dabo taking the placekicking issue on himself shows he has little faith in Powell to get it done.
Those of you that saw the game on TV: did you notice the litle guy with the clipboard rush onto the field after Catanzaro's made FG to tie the game against FSU? (I was dreading an excessive celebration penalty) That's Brandon McCombs, aka: "Stopwatch." He's listed as part of the Strength and Conditioning staff, but one glance will tell you he hasn't seen much of the inside of the weight room. I would venture to guess that his experience with kickers is limited to keeping track of hang times, get-off times and kick distances for the past three seasons. I seriously doubt he has any valuable instruction to offer. Catanzaro's recent statement that he got advice from a former UNC kicker who is a family friend about not rushing into his kicks shows that our staff is incapable of studying game film to diagnose a kicker's faults.
Somebody on the staff needs to step up and get this issue under control or the weak link on the current staff needs to be replaced. Otherwise, we'll continue to fall short (or wide right) in close, winnable games. For now, do we give up on field goals and just go for it? Pooch punt? Keep kicking, half the time we do make it?
For the next two (maybe three) games and in the long-term: what are your ideas?

Syntax Highlighting on Forums with Greasemonkey
6 November 2009 at 8:02am Last edited: 18 December 2009 9:17am
Not so much a question as a "not sure where else to put it". Do you want to read the forums with real syntax highlighting like so:
Attached you'll find a greasemonkey script that does a fairly decent job of adding some reasonable syntax highlighting on these forums to any of the code blocks.
You'll need Firefox and Greasemonkey:
Click to install the latest version: silverstripe_forums_code_0.1.user.js
Greasemonkey will install it magically. Sorry for the clutter but deleting attachments doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
Its no 100% effective, but it sure is easier on the eyes. Give it a shot and hit me up with any feedback. Unless your feedback is 'Dalesaurus, your write crappy javascript'...because I know that already
PS. The highlighter is google-code-prettify that I attached to a post so it links from the silverstripe.org assets folders: http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/272687

Invention and Cultural Intervention:
The paper examines the so-called "urban fiction" of the 1990s, represented by He Dun's short story, "The Sun Is Very Nice" and Chi Li's "Coming and Going." These works reflect the life of the new urbanite of the middle and bourgeois classes created by the marketization and commercialization in contemporary Chinese society. My analysis shows how certain fiction writers critically engage consumer culture as the cultural dominant of the age. I argue that in critiquing consumer culture as corrosive and illusory, these writers are simultaneously inventing a new capitalist cultural imaginary that both reflects and responds to the cultural demands of the capitalist society toward which China seems to be inexorably moving.

The phenomenon of [[Feature~V175390~Tales from the Crypt~talesfromthecrypt[tvseries]]] seems to have no endings, only changes. This successful pun-filled style of presenting ironic horror tales had its beginnings in [[Performer~P25533~William Gaine's~williammgaines]] E.C. comic series. At one time, outlandish E.C. Comics were at the heart of a national furor over the "evils" of comic books, which were thought to lead to moral degeneracy. The big comic-book publishers were frightened into freezing E.C. out of their distribution network, which killed the business. This British movie was based on the [[Feature~V175390~Tales from the Crypt~talesfromthecrypt[tvseries]]] series, which spawned several subsequent movies (and many imitators), at least one television series, and a whole new wave of comic books. Released in 1972, this movie has five episodes based on Gaines' stories, each introduced by Sir [[Performer~P60087~Ralph Richardson~ralphrichardson]] as the eerily cheery Crypt Keeper. His comedic approach to the role was misunderstood at the time, as reviewers expected a more solemn approach to horror. In "All Through the House," Santa Claus is someone to avoid. In "Reflection of Death" it takes some people a while to realize the truth about themselves. In "Poetic Justice" death cannot prevent one man's revenge. The episode "Blind Alley" demonstrates a new use for razor blades. "Wish You Were Here" cautions against taking native artifacts lightly (among other things). Among the stars featured are [[Performer~P16338~Peter Cushing~petercushing]], [[Performer~P14235~Joan Collins~joancollins]] and [[Performer~P44560~Patrick Magee~patrickmagee]]. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Their journeys began in various, diverse locations across the globe. But this Fourth of July, 51 people living in the New Orleans area came together with a common goal -- to become U.S. citizens.
Inside the World War II Museum Thursday, they raised their right hands and took the Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America.
For Paula Lamus, born in Colombia, it was the realization of a life-long dream.
"It's like a relief," Lamus said. "You know, you've been waiting for this for so many years. I've been in this country for a long time and just waiting for this moment to come around, and it's a little bit more freedom."
Honduran native Amanda Hurlston, who lives in Slidell with her family, described the feeling as "pure joy."
"I'm married to an American citizen and there are just so many opportunities that America has offered us and I just wanted to embrace it," Hurlston said. "It's an awesome moment. It's a moment that we can cherish."
The New Orleans ceremony is one of more than 100 events taking place across the country this week, allowing nearly 8,000 people to gain citizenship.
"It's a fulfilling feeling. I mean, I've got the opportunity to better myself and better my family so, that's what it means to me, helping my family," said Roger Malcolm, a native Jamaican. "You can realize your dreams, and realizing your dreams, that a fulfillment which people elsewhere in the world does not have, and I'm afforded this opportunity."
While the naturalization ceremony is a necessary step in making citizenship official, some said their feelings of patriotism had been with them -- long before.
"I've been (in the U.S.) for so long, I've always felt like this is my country because I kind of grew up here. So, I love everything. It's my country. I feel like it's my country," Lamus said.

'Make Caricom wider not deeper'
Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago — Caricom should generate export-led growth by recruiting new members, rather than by trying to deepen its existing relationships, regional leaders were told this week.
The policy proposed by Professor Victor Bulmer-Thomas would see a return to the successful export strategies of the 1950s, which established the region's tourism industry.
"That strategy did indeed help to raise GDP per head to historically high levels," said Bulmer-Thomas, professor emeritus at London University and honorary professor at the Institute of the Americas.
"But the package is starting to look tired," he told the Jamaica Observer in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Apart from Trinidad and Tobago, which has oil, and Puerto Rico, with its substantial manufacturing base supplying the US mainland, most countries in the region are suffering from high debt and low growth, he said.
The Caribbean has been trying to deepen relationships for 25 years. "It's time to talk about widening."
A bigger Caricom would have more influence with major trading partners such as Britain over things like its new air passenger duty.
There are other alternatives to promote economies, such as boosting domestic demand or going for balanced growth, but they would involve raising the region's sky-high debt loads or pulling in more imports, and that would be "suicidal", he told finance ministers and central bankers at a closed session of the International Monetary Fund's High Level Caribbean Forum.
"A long-run growth strategy needs to emphasise exports," he said, according to a copy of his key-note speech obtained by the Jamaica Observer.
Expanding Caricom to include the US Virgin Islands, Montserrat or Aruba would create a larger market and encourage intra-regional trade.
The British Territories currently import US$20,000 per person annually while the US and Dutch Territories import US$14,000 per head, compared to an average of US$4,300 in Caricom countries.
However, existing Caricom members might have to allow exceptions to their common external tariff, since those countries which have trade agreements with former colonial powers would not be able to comply. Other free-trade groups, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, operate without a common external tariff, Bulmer-Thomas said.
Caricom's members currently account for half of the region's countries, but only a quarter of the region's trade, a fifth of its GDP and just 15 per cent of its population, he noted.
The need for a stronger emphasis on exports can be seen in another startling statistic.
The ratio of exports to GDP in Caricom has fallen by more than 20 per cent since 2006, a worse performance than in any of the region's groupings except the French Territories.
Tourist arrivals have also been in long-term decline as a share of the global industry, falling from 2.45 per cent in 1995 to 2.26 in 2010.
Bulmer-Thomas also suggested the region should look to new core trading partners, notably China, Mexico, Brazil and Russia since the economies of its traditional partners, the US and Europe, are in the doldrums.
He also advocated expanding the range of services offered by Caricom to include education, medicine, music and film festivals, sports training, financial services, telecoms, and conferences.

Effingham Daily News
EFFINGHAM — Effingham County State's Attorney Bryan Kibler announced the arrest of three Effingham County residents in the 2011 disappearance and death of Joseph C. Delaney, then age 54, of Effingham. Delaney disappeared sometime after July 1, 2011.
Illinois State Police investigators and an Effingham Police Department detective arrested Christine Burr, 57, of rural Dieterich on three counts of first degree murder and one count of concealment of a homicidal death; Kristy L. Mathis, 40, of Effingham on one count of concealment of a homicidal death; and Zebadiah R. Houser, 25, of Effingham on one count of concealment of a homicidal death.
Skeletal remains were recovered near the Embarrass River north of Newton on March 10, 2012. Newly collected evidence suggests the remains are those of Delaney.
Authorities believe Delaney was murdered at a building inside the Colonnade Apartment Complex on E. Hendelmeyer Avenue in Effingham and that his remains were later disposed of in Jasper County.
Burr, Mathis and Houser are being held in custody at Effingham County jail. Each defendent will make an initial appearance in Effingham County Circuit Court at 10 a.m. Dec. 18.
"State police investigators, with assistance from the Effingham Police Department, performed remarkable 'cold case' work in this matter," said Kibler. "State police investigators, in particular, worked virtually around-the-clock since their receipt of valuable information earlier this month."
Kibler credited several additional authorities for their assistance and work in the matter, including Jasper County State's Attorney's office, Jasper County Sheriff's Department, Jasper County Coroner's office, Effingham County Coroner's office and Effingham County State's Attorney's investigator. Investigation work continues, Kibler said.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A man was arrested for attacking a woman while she was jogging in downtown Louisville.
On Friday, September 27 at 11 a.m. on the corner of Liberty Street and 4th Street, police said Frankie Smallwood, 35, a man with no permanent address in Louisville, attacked a female jogger. The intersection where the victim said the incident occurred is at the entrance of the entertainment complex, Fourth Street Live!, and is close to several hotels, office buildings and Louisville's City Hall.
The police report indicates Smallwood blocked the victim's running path with a bicycle and repeatedly bumped her with it while lunging and swinging at her head. The victim said he was threatening to kill her. After some time, police said he charged her on his bicycle, forcing her into the street in the path of moving cars.
The victim was able to flag down a police officer as Smallwood fled. She filed a police report against him. About an hour later, officers found him in an alley a half a block away from the original incident. The victim identified him.
As police attempted to arrest him, he began screaming; charging at the victim and trying to head butt an officer.
Smallwood was charged with first degree wanton endangerment, disorderly conduct, menacing and third degree assault.

Ukrainian media: Belarusian Mikhail Zhyzneuski killed in Kyiv
15:27, — Society
14965 views
(being updated) The name of a Belarusian national killed in Kyiv has been revealed.
Ukrainian media report Belarusian Mikhail Zhyzneuski was a member of Vitali Klitschko's team. He lived in the town of Bila Tserkva.
As charter97.org has learnt from Iryna Piatrova, an activist of the civil campaign European Belarus, she met Mikhail Zhyzneuski, 25, during the pro-EU protests. He had left for Ukraine in 2006 due to problems over participation in opposition actions.
Zhyzneuski had lived in Homel before his departure to Ukraine. He was a member of the Maidan defence unit and lived in the protest camp.
The special forces and the police started a brutal operation in Kyiv's Hrushevsky Street this morning. The police attacked the barricades. Gunshots were heard during the attack. The police approached the buses, which were burnt two days ago. Videos showed protesters trying to escape and policemen catching and beating them.
At least three people are reported to have died in clashes. Two demonstrators, among them activist Sergei Nigoyan, were shot by the police. Another protester died at hospital after falling from the top of the stadium.

Former Rutgers defensive tackle Eric Legrand got the call he would've never expected, and it came from The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While playing at Rutgers, Legrand was paralyzed on a play while making a tackle. That play would change his life. Of course with this tragic incident Legrand wouldn't be able to play the game of football ever again. However, there are some people that still recognize the love, character, and perserverance in Eric Legrand. So Monday the Buccaneers called to inform Eric's mother and himself about the announcement that they were going to sign him. Although they can't give him any money due to the salary cap, it's still a nice gesture and shows that people still care about other's dreams.

Decatur – Residents in Decatur may have noticed a smell around the lake.
The recent number of dead fish may be the cause. Last week we told you that several fish were found on the banks of Lake Decatur.
The Department of Natural Resources believes the dead fish are from recent run off from heavy rains.

Freshman forward Emily Potter posted her first double-double during Utah's two-overtime win on Saturday at BYU.
Dec. 14, 2013
PROVO, Utah - Freshman forward Emily Potter turned in her first double-double as a Ute and four Utes reached double figures in points to help the University of Utah women's basketball team to an 82-74 win at BYU in a Deseret First Credit Union Duel contest on Saturday in the Marriott Center.
Utah (5-4) shot 50.0 (5-10) from the floor during the overtime periods, compared to 12.5 (2-16) for BYU. The Utes handed the Cougars their first loss of the season and this was Utah's
Tied at 62-62 at the end of regulation, senior forward Michelle Plouffe hit her first 3-pointer of the game in the first possession of the first overtime to give Utah a 65-62 edge. A pair of Cougar free throws brought BYU within a point (65-64) and a 3-pointer by BYU gave the Cougars a 67-65 advantage. Then with 6.5 seconds left, Plouffe caught an in-bounds pass and slashed through the middle of the lane for a finger-roll lay-in to knot the game at 67 points apiece.
Utah started the second overtime with an 8-0 Utah run, started by Plouffe who made another 3-pointer. A Nakia Arquette lay-in and jumper with a Ciera Dunbar free throw then put Utah ahead 75-67. BYU's first score of the second OT did not come until a 3-pointer with 55.7 seconds left. Utah then preserved the victory by converting seven of nine free throws down the stretch on the way to an 82-74 victory.
Potter had a career-high 18 points and a career-high 11 rebounds for her first career double-double. She has had six double-figure-point performances, including each of the last four. Her previous career high was 16 points in the season opener against Denver. She now has two double-figure rebound performances.
The Utes would push their lead to as many as 10 (23-13) after a 4-point play by Rodriguez, but the Cougars would knot the game for the fourth time at 27 all. A running hook shot by Potter gave the Utes a 29-27 edge. Unfortunately, BYU carried a 34-33 lead into halftime. Utah had a 20-17 edge in rebounding over BYU and after hitting its first three 3-point field goal attempts they would go 60.0 in the half. Potter had 14 points on a 6-of-11 shooting performance to go with a team-high five rebounds, while Rodriguez scored six points, had four rebounds and three assists. This was only the second time this season that the Utes trailed at halftime (vs. Butler on Nov. 29).
A Plouffe jumper and transition lay-in by Potter to start the second half gave the Utes a 37-34 lead. BYU re-tied the half, but a Dunbar lay-in on a back door cut and a 3-pointer gave Utah a 42-37 lead. The Cougars then launched a 10-1 run to grab a 47-43 lead, but an old fashioned 3-point play by Rodriguez brought the Utes to within two (47-45). BYU held a three-point lead at 49-46, but back-to-back Wilson 3-pointers put the Utes ahead 52-49. Utah would extend its lead to a five-point margin (54-49), but BYU fought back to earn its largest lead of the game, 60-54. A Rodriguez 3-pointer cut Utah's lead in half (60-57) with 2:55 remaining. BYU worked its lead to five (62-57), but a Potter lay-in and Plouffe then drained a free throw and 15-foot jumper to tie the game for the third time in the half and end regulation in a 62-62 tie.
After a week off, the Utes host Samford on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 3 p.m. MT. Rick Bouillon will have the play-by-play call on ESPN700 and the live stream at pac-12.com.

Seven things you can do if your child did not get your first choice primary school
Updated 10:38am Thursday 17th April 2014 in News
All over the country parents have been receiving the news that their child has been accepted into a primary school.
But what if your child didn't get a place at the school you had really set your heart on? Is there anything you can do?
Here are seven things you can try:
1. Don't panic.
Consider accepting the school you have been offered. Compare its curriculum, distance from your home and facilities. You have until April 30 this year to decide.
2. Put your child on the waiting list of your first choice school and check back regularly.
3. Find out whether your first choice of school is full (class sizes are limited to 30 pupils for five to seven-year-olds) and consider if you want to appeal.
4. You can still appeal if the admission arrangements haven't been properly followed, the admission criteria aren't legal, or the decision to refuse your child a place wasn't reasonable.
5. If you decide to appeal, collect as much evidence as possible and make sure you are well prepared for the hearing.
6. At the appeal the panel will decide if the school's admission criteria were properly followed and are legal, and if your reasons for your child to be admitted outweigh the school's reasons for not admitting another child.
7. A decision will be made in five days.

But if I could suggest some 'things' to do myself if your child didnt get into your first choice primary school.
Ask yourself did you apply to the school nearest to you? Or one where your child already has an older sibbling?
If not did you apply to a school that has a good reputation and was therefore likely to receive more applications than it had spaces for?
If so ask yourself how you expect a school to place more children into a class than it has space for.
Getting the answer that it obviously cant, admit to yourself that applying to a school that was both further away than your closest one and likely to be oversubscribed always had the potential to lead to your child not getting it and unfortunately your child is now one of the ones that was invariably not going to get in.
Finally dont waste everyones time by appealing the decision but instead concentrate on preparing your child for the school that it has been allocated to. And please please please do not moan about it to the rest of us!
The ONLY people I have sympathy for in these situations are the ones that applied to their nearest school and didnt get it (possibly because people from further away who applied did get in) or for those who face having their youngest child not going to the same school as a sibling

I am creating an office in a VERY old [about 60 yrs old] garage. I am also on a very tight budget (I am a student). The garage floor is in somewhat bad shape (pitted, rough, etc). My plan was to use 1/2" Durock ( cement board, backerboard)on top of the concrete slab, with the smooth side up (doesnt really matter ... ). I am most certainly NOT going to tile over the Durock (as even the slightest flex will pop tiles). The purpose was to "quickly and cheaply" get a fairly flat, smooth subfloor. Then I am either going to put tongue-and-groove plywood down, with office-style carpet on top, or a faux wooden floor.
My question is, what is the best way to secure the Durock to the concrete slab? I am aware that Durock is NOT meant to be secured to concrete. However, I do not have the budget to fix the existing slab (using self-leveling concrete, etc). I thought PL-400 would be strong enough to secure it, but one test piece has proven otherwise. Then I figured using flat head tapcons (or similar), but that may also not be enough. Again, as I am not putting down tile, a minute amount of flex may be ok, but I want it secured as best as possible. Should I use thinset or mortar to secure the Durock down?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

- Concrete Floor Question - Please help
I should add, the room is about 110 sq ft. That is about 8 sheets of 3x5 Durock, total cost of $80 and change (just for some perspective).
Does anyone have thoughts on a Mortar bed? What would be approx cost and effort for 110 sq ft? I feel like I would have problems getting the mortar to adhere to the old slab, and the framing is already in place. I cant clean/prep the concrete correctly. Any help, thoughts, ideas would be greatly appreciated.

2009 'best year yet' for SAE auto teams
By Beau Rand
The automotive industry may not be doing as well nationally as it would like, but student car makers are flying high and going off-road at the University of Louisville.
UofL's Mini Baja team, a group of students from the Speed School of Engineering's Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) that builds competition vehicles from the ground up, placed 14th overall out of 120 teams in an international competition in Wisconsin June 11–14.
"We expected to do well," said Ben Myser, team captain and a fourth-year mechanical engineering student from Union, Ky. "We had top-10 performances in smaller competitions. It was stiff competition, it was difficult, but we finished well."
The Wisconsin event is the third and final major event of the year for the Baja team. Events also take place in Virginia and Alabama.
At Wisconsin, the team scored a second place finish in overall dynamic competition, which includes acceleration, maneuverability, suspension and sled pull. It placed third overall in its inaugural foray in the mud bog event, but finished 14th in the four-hour endurance race.
It was a good placing considering that the team had several major component failures due to wrecks and had to take the car off the course for repairs, Myser said.
In addition to the Mini Baja team, the UofL SAE chapter also has a Formula car.
This was the chapter's "best year ever," said Keith Sharp, SAE faculty adviser, noting that the Formula car placed sixth overall at Virginia, and the Mini Baja team was sixth overall at Alabama.
Success helps build interest in participation, Myser said, explaining that the teams' past accomplishments motivated him to become involved as a freshman and to carry the mantle as Mini Baja team captain.
It also "gets our name out and shows that we are really learning and being educated," he said.
About 40 students are in UofL's SAE chapter, which also includes professional engineers outside of the school. The Mini Baja team has eight students, with a handful of others who help whenever possible.
With student involvement in RSOs at UofL on the rise, Myser said that the SAE teams' successes this year, along with those of the College of Business and others, will strengthen the trend for more students to become involved in education-based student organizations.
More people will become involved in organizations if they continue to hear about their success, he said, "and the more that can come out and try it, the more will become involved for the long run."
Regardless of the Mini Baja team's competition achievements, the year has been special, Myser said.
Even "with the economy being bad, we have received tremendous support from our sponsors and the university," he explained. "We've had a great group of guys who have put in the extra time and done a lot of work. It's been a combination of both that has made this year so special."
The team already has begun to work on concepts for next year's Mini Baja vehicle and has set a goal to win a "Top Three" award for placing well at Alabama, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The Mini Baja team and SAE also are host to Midnight Mayhem, a competition held locally that pits the Cardinal car makers against other national teams. Myser said the group looks to expand the event and to host international teams in the future.

Ryan Garvey: Following In A Father's Footsteps
Wednesday, July 9, 2014 4:13 PM EDT
by Josh Ouellette, SWX Content Coordinator -
Ryan Garvey has played in many of the places his father frequented in his own professional journey.
SPOKANE, Wash. -- There have been a lot of father-son combinations in Major League Baseball history. Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., Cecil and Prince Fielder, Tom and Dee Gordon, The Hariston dynasty all the way from Sammy to Scott. The Spokane Indians even have Tim and Tug Hulett as a father-son duo to make it to the show.
Hopefully soon there will be another pair of names to add to the list. Steve and Ryan Garvey.
For a full list of MLB father-son combos click here:
Everyone knows who Steve Garvey is on the west coast. The 16-year pro spent his entire career in the National League West between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres. A 10-time All-Star and the 1974 National League MVP, Garvey was also part of the 1970 Spokane Indians squad that some have called the greatest team in minor league history.
While Spokane was the final stepping stone that catapulted Steve Garvey into the majors, it is the same place where Ryan Garvey will try and make a name for himself in the adolescence of his career when the Tri-City Dust Devils play game two of a three game Northwest League visit to Avista Stadium on Wednesday, June 9th.
"My dad is my dad," Garvey said. "That's who my dad is, is Steve Garvey. I don't really to think about it that much I just try to play ball how I know how to play ball and try to be my own player. That's how I've always thought about it."
And even though Ryan is setting off on his own career path, he knows emulating his father will put him in a good spot to make it to the big leagues one day.
"Looking back at his stats [in Spokane] it's just like, 'man, that's my dad playing. That's my dads stats,'" Garvey said. "It's kind of tough to live up to those stats, but I'll just play ball as hard as I can and hopefully I can touch those."
But playing in the minors hasn't accomplished the younger Garvey's dream of playing professionally like his father did. He wants to make it all the way.
"Just to be in the majors is something beyond imaginable," Garvey said. "Just having the opportunity to play there is a blessing. Being able to have that fresh cut grass everyday and playing with thousands of fans everyday. There's nothing like it. Having the team camaraderie like big leaguers is something you dream about. Hopefully one day I work hard enough to get there."
Ryan Garvey's chances are pretty high. There have been over 200 sons to make it to the big league after their father's did.
But just like their fathers, all of those sons had to pay their own dues and make their own stops on the way to playing on the ultimate stage. Ryan Garvey knows that his father's time with the Spokane Indians was a pivotal time in his career before joining the Dodgers full time and knows Steve Garvey remembers Spokane fondly.
"He doesn't have a lot of time in the minors. But what he says about [Spokane] is that it's a great place to play and just by looking at the stadium, it's a great stadium. And just looking at the seats, I'm sure you guys get a lot of fans down here. So, it's going to be fun to play [here] and he said had a ball playing here."
Playing in the Northwest League actually isn't the first time Garvey has followed in his father's footsteps. Both also spent time in the Pioneer League circuit as part of their first professional stops. Steve Garvey with the Ogden Dodgers in 1968 and Ryan Garvey with the Grand Junction Rockies the past two seasons before joining the Dust Devils this year.
"That's pretty much what my minor league career has been about," Ryan Garvey said. "Playing where he's been playing. His first at bat he struck out. I struck out. His first home run was to left center at Idaho Falls. My first home run was over the scoreboard at Idaho Falls. So it's kind of been weird, it's been really weird."
One of the reasons Ryan Garvey can be successful and play in the MLB like his father did will be due to the wisdom that only a former major league player can depart onto his child.
"He tells me, 'Don't think, just play ball. It's just a game.'" Garvey said. "I think this is the hardest part when you're playing out here and it's your job now. It's not like you are playing tee ball or coach pitch where it's just fun, who cares what you do at the plate; it's just a game. That's what I think a lot of us players do, we over think the game and it shouldn't be that hard. When we think our hands aren't getting through, or here is a curveball and we're guessing pitches. We've just got to let the game take its course and think about it as a game again, and not just as our job."
It seems the 21-year old outfielder has taken his father's words to heart and has some excellent advice of his own for players at any level of the game.
Today, Wednesday June 9th, Steve Garvey will throw out the first pitch at Avista Stadium before his son faces his former team in a rival's uniform, and Ryan Garvey is looking forward to the memory.
"Usually I get to see him throw first pitches all the time when I'm not playing," Garvey said. "But it's going to be nice to see him throw out the first pitch while I'm playing."
Just like any son, Garvey wants his dad to make him proud when he takes the mound in ceremonial fashion on Wednesday.
"I hope he throws a strike," Garvey said. "If he doesn't I'm going to give him a hard time."

Staples Post-Spring Rankings
Staples finally gets around to his post-spring college rankings. Not too far off base. A few things I disagree with. Mainly FSU behind USCe. While i dont think an 8 or 9 ranking is incorrect, i do think we should be ahead of them. We return more starters, have similar QB questions aaaaaand we beat them in the bowl game. I just dont see how we would ever be ranked behind them. SEC Bias, maybe? Thoughts?

Throwback Thursday: Why A 'Full House' Spinoff Needs To Happen
A Full House spinoff would be amazing ... if it was actually happening.
After Boy Meets World got its spinoff, Girl Meets World, featuring most of the original cast, whispers turned to low roars about a potential on-screen Full House reunion. Unfortunately, unlike Girl Meets World, a Full House reunion isn't on the horizon. But that doesn't mean the cast doesn't want one!
The rumors came after an April Fool's joke on ScreenRant went viral ... seven months later! Fans got excited, the media buzzed, but it was all a hoax. Still, Candace Cameron Bure, who played the eldest Tanner daughter DJ, was enthusiastic about a possible regrouping with her TV family.
She tweeted, "Fun to see the fan excitement over a new Full House show! But, the article was just a hoax. For now." See that "for now" part? It's giving us hope!
So—have mercy!—here are five reasons we're pulling for a Full House spinoff:
1. Uncle Jesse
2. Uncle Jesse
3. Uncle Jesse
4. John Stamos
5. Uncle Jesse

A new study questions the benefits of mammograms.
A researcher from Dartmouth and one from Oregon found nearly one-third of women with breast cancer are overdiagnosed, meaning a mammogram found a problem that did not really need treatment.
The researchers looked at the impact of mammograms on cancer diagnoses and mortality rates over the last 30 years. They found the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer has doubled. Researchers believe more than a million of those have been overdiagnoses and women have received unnecessary treatments like chemo and radiation.
"We're now recognizing in cancer detection when we look for early forms of cancer we find things that meet this pathologic definition of cancer, but never go on to bother the patient, may even disappear," said Dr. H. Gilbert Welch of the Dartmouth Institute.
The study also found the increase of early stage detection far exceeds the decrease in mortality rate. Though the mortality rate is slowly going down, they say that's due to better treatment, not early screenings. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Click here for more.

RIVERSIDE — Mikayla Nielsen has been racing motorcycles for a little over a year, and she already has a "career" highlight: Riding on the supercross layout at Angel Stadium, with 40,000 or so people in the building.
At age 8.
"I had the feeling that I was a big motocross star," she said.
Maybe she will be, someday.
Nielsen, a third-grader at Lake Mathews Elementary School in Riverside, already has made a mark, competing in children's races at various tracks around the Inland Empire. She even has sponsors who supply her protective equipment and help with her engine and parts.
"Everything helps, because this is an expensive sport," said her father, Mike Nielsen. "I haven't even put a price tag on it. There's entry fees, (money spent) to keep the bike running, to make sure the suspension is good, the tires are good, her protective equipment is good.
"We've got a deal. If she tries hard, then I try hard."
Mikayla — or "Kay Kay," the nickname painted on the number plate on her bike — learned to race in the MotoXkidz program at Lucas Oil Speedway, at the Lake Perris fairgrounds, and competes in the organization's racing series. She won all six races she entered during the fall series in the 50cc 2-stroke beginner category for ages 7-9, and is competing in the winter series in both the 50cc 2-stroke advanced and open classifications.
But she gets around. She will ride at Perris Raceway, at Milestone Park in western Riverside, at Glen Helen in Devore, up to Hesperia and down to Anza and Temecula. She will go out to practice Thursdays and Fridays, after she does her homework — she gets mostly As and Bs — and she competes on Saturdays.
"There's obviously a ton of natural ability there," said MotoXkidz director Kevin Reno. "And she's just got the temperament for it.
"The biggest thing (riders) have to deal with … is any fear factor. And they have to be able to overcome adversity. They have to adapt to ever-changing track conditions: dust, mud, wind. And they have to have a temperament that when something goes wrong, they quickly set it behind them."
It all started with family rides in the desert — dad Mike, mom Tami, older sister Amber (now 10) and Mikayla. Everybody else rode, so naturally she had to as well.
She got her first motorcycle at 4, and began racing at 7 after a friend of the family noticed how well she rode and suggested putting her in some races.
"I got eighth, I think," she said when asked about her first race. "And I kind of liked it. I beat a couple kids, and then the race was over and (the lady) called me up to get a medal."
Said her dad: "Everybody in the (MotoXkidz) organization thought she could ride really good, and so we saved enough money to buy a decent bike for her. Once we got a 50 (cc) for her to race kids her own age, she's done really well.
"She loves riding. It's kind of cool, because you don't see girls ride like she does."
She loves it enough to want to challenge herself maybe a little more than Mike would prefer. During a recent practice run at Perris Raceway, she zipped around the little track and handled the jumps like a pro. And when she stopped she would implore her dad to let her go over to the bigger track, where the bigger kids were riding.
Dad would say no, she would pout briefly, and then she would kick the engine into gear and zip away to do some more laps on the little track.
Mikayla is one of a handful of females competing in the MotoXkidz program. The American Motorcycle Association sponsors a women's motocross circuit. There is women's motorcycle racing in the X Games, but the Monster Energy Supercross Series, the top tier of the sport, is all male.
"If they change the rules that just boys can ride in supercross, then I want to enter," Mikayla said.
Her appearance at Angel Stadium on Jan. 18 was as part of the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge, a series of three-lap exhibition races tucked into Monster Energy events.
The kids selected — 15 by random drawing from the applications submitted — must be 7 or 8 years old on race day according to the organization's website, must have at least one year of prior racing experience, must maintain "above average" grades and must be no more than 52 inches in height and no more than 70 pounds.
"That was a big accomplishment for her to get in that," Mike Nielsen said.
"It was pretty surreal. When we were sitting there waiting for our race, I looked around. An 8-year-old's about to go on a pro track in front of all these people, 40,000 people. You get a little nervous for her. But she did good. She took sixth, she had fun, and I had fun watching her."
Mikayla talks of "being a pro rider, riding with the boys" some day.
But there's plenty of time to figure that out.

Most of what humans do and experience is best understood in terms of dynamically unfolding interactions with the environment. Many philosophers and cognitive scientists now acknowledge the critical importance of situated, environment-involving embodied engagements as a means of understanding basic minds—including basic forms of human mentality. Yet many of these same theorists hold fast to the view that basic minds are necessarily or essentially contentful—that they represent conditions the world might be in.
By adulthood, most of us have become experts in human behavior, able to make sense of the myriad behaviors we find in environments ranging from the family home to the local mall and beyond. In philosophy of mind, our understanding of others has been largely explained in terms of knowing others' beliefs and desires; describing others' behavior in these terms is the core of what is known as folk psychology.
Many disciplines, including philosophy, history, and sociology, have attempted to make sense of how science works. In this book, Paul Thagard examines scientific development from the interdisciplinary perspective of cognitive science. Cognitive science combines insights from researchers in many fields: philosophers analyze historical cases, psychologists carry out behavioral experiments, neuroscientists perform brain scans, and computer modelers write programs that simulate thought processes.
Over the last three million years or so, our lineage has diverged sharply from those of our great ape relatives. Change has been rapid (in evolutionary terms) and pervasive. Morphology, life history, social life, sexual behavior, and foraging patterns have all shifted sharply away from those of the other great apes. In The Evolved Apprentice, Kim Sterelny argues that the divergence stems from the fact that humans gradually came to enrich the learning environment of the next generation.
Academic interest in the phenomenon of joint attention-- the capacity to attend to an object together with another creature--has increased rapidly over the past two decades. Yet it isn't easy to spell out in detail what joint attention is, how it ought to be characterized, and what exactly its significance consists in. The writers for this volume address these and related questions by drawing on a variety of disciplines, including developmental and comparative psychology, philosophy of mind, and social neuroscience.
In Plato's Camera, eminent philosopher Paul Churchland offers a novel account of how the brain constructs a representation--or 'takes a picture'--of the universe's timeless categorical and dynamical structure. This construction process, which begins at birth, yields the enduring background conceptual framework with which we will interpret our sensory experience for the rest of our lives.
Consciousness is arguably the most important area within contemporary philosophy of mind and perhaps the most puzzling aspect of the world. Despite an explosion of research from philosophers, psychologists, and scientists, attempts to explain consciousness in neurophysiological, or even cognitive, terms are often met with great resistance.
What are the psychological foundations of morality? Historically, the issue has been framed as one of emotion versus reason. Hume argued that reason is the slave of the passions and so morality must be based on them; Kant argued that moral law is given by rational agents to themselves in virtue of their rationality. The debate has continued in these terms to the present day. In Like-Minded, Andrew Sneddon argues that "reason" and "passion" do not satisfactorily capture all the important options for explaining the psychological foundations of morality.
Animals live in a world of other minds, human and nonhuman, and their well-being and survival often depends on what is going on in the minds of these other creatures. But do animals know that other creatures have minds? And how would we know if they do? In Mindreading Animals, Robert Lurz offers a fresh approach to the hotly debated question of mental-state attribution in nonhuman animals.
People can be disgusted by the concrete and by the abstract—by an object they find physically repellent or by an ideology or value system they find morally abhorrent. Different things will disgust different people, depending on individual sensibilities or cultural backgrounds. In Yuck!, Daniel Kelly investigates the character and evolution of disgust, with an emphasis on understanding the role this emotion has come to play in our social and moral lives.

The Shift From Sharing To Getting Work Done ...
The Shift From Sharing To Getting Work Done
Over the last few years employees have slowly grown accustomed to using social software at work. Actions such as posting status updates, sharing links to web sites and publishing personal blogs have provided great starting points for getting people engaged, but now it's time for employees to start using social software to help Get Work Done. In this session we'll discuss the growing trends of using social tools for task/project management and integration of social elements into core-businesses process. You'll hear how departments such as Human Resources, Marketing and Support can use social technologies to improve the way people work. Topics will include social/workforce analytics, social media monitoring, mobile devices and gamification. It's time to take social software from a tool for sharing to a key contributor of company success.

While Official Washington excuses Israel's latest slaughter of Gazans as justifiable self-defense, many thoughtful Jews are lamenting how the traditional humanism of Judaism is being despoiled by the brutal practices of the Israeli government, writes Danny Schechter.
Tag Archive for Judaism
Rethinking the Genesis Message
Since ancient times, mankind has struggled against chaos, often seeking to control differences and manage conflicts though violence and war. The Bible has played an insidious role in this history, though an alternate interpretation of its opening chapter would recognize an appeal to do good, not to harshly impose order, says Rev. Howard Bess.
Applying the Golden Rule to Peace
Rather than making serious efforts at peace settlements, President Obama is skating toward possible U.S. involvement in two more Middle Eastern wars, with Syria and Iran. And ex-Vice President Cheney has no regrets about the Iraq War. Such attitudes ignore a core principle of all major religions, writes Winslow Myers.
The Backlash against Women's Rights
Religious fundamentalism – Islamic, Judaic and Christian – is pushing back against progress toward equal rights for women. The fundamentalists want to restore patriarchal dominance and are gaining ground in the Muslim world, Israel and the United States inside the Republican Party, notes Lawrence Davidson.
Steering from the Abyss
Exclusive: The world seems on a headlong rush toward the abyss, with American neocons eager to escalate their "clash of civilizations" and religious fundamentalists of various stripes insisting their own ancient texts must be accepted as political prescriptions for the modern era, a crisis addressed by Robert Parry.
Genesis Myth: God Doing Good
Many Christian fundamentalists impose a literal interpretation on Biblical myth, thus missing the larger moral messages and rejecting later scientific discoveries, a mistake most apparent in their reading of the Genesis creation story, as the Rev. Howard Bess explains.
Cain Kills Abel: the First Class War
Republicans are fond of throwing the charge "class warfare" at anyone who seeks to reverse the rapid division of modern society into haves and have-nots. But the ancient story of Cain and Abel is a cautionary tale about the violence that class stratification inevitably brings, writes Rev. Howard Bess.
