A word from dell'anima
dell'anima means "of the soul" in Italian and the food features hearty, eloquent dishes of thoughtful simplicity. Our menu offerings change daily, and we use local, seasonal, sustainably harvested produce where possible. Our menu features a selection of pastas made in-house daily, traditional dishes rarely found outside of Italy, and Italian-inspired creations that are of Thompson's own invention. Our wine list features an array of small production, high-quality selections with an emphasis on traditional and natural winemaking. Over 200 hand-chosen wines are selected for flavor, uniqueness and tradition. dell'anima is open weekend brunch 11:00am to 3:00pm and dinner Tuesday through Friday from 5:30 pm until 2:00 am, Saturday 5:00pm to 2:00am, Sunday 5:00pm to 12am and Monday 5:30pm to 12am.

- SharDined on 11/8/2014This meal was delicious from start to fishish. Bruschetta w/ricotta cheese was my favorite dish, which says a lot because everything was so good.Special Features:
- Loved ItLtrainDined on 11/8/2014We sat at a high top by the open kitchen. Loved all the action and everything was great, the wine list the staff and the food. We are Italian and know great food and everything we had was great. It is noisy and a little tight depending on where you sit but our family likes that so we had fun. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dell'anima was Wonderful!LadydalVIPDined on 10/25/2014We wanted a new restaurant to try in NYC so went here on the advice of a friend. We gave up our reserved table for a place at the "cooks bar" so that we could watch the preparation of meals. So happy we did. It was facinating and we tried more than we normally would since we could see it being prepared! The waitress was very knowledgeable and helped in our selection. We shared two appetizer size pasta's and had the chicken, which is one of the house specialties. Everything was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still Our #1 NYC FavoriteNYCFANVIPDined on 10/25/2014My husband and I have been coming here since it opened. It is by far our favorite in the city and we frequent many places. The menu changes fairly frequently and is always great. The manager and staff are fantastic, always makes us fell welcome. This past weekend white truffles were on the menu and the pasta was excellent. Also a must is the short ribs and polenta, absolutely incredible!! Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- anniversary dinnerBrittVIPDined on 10/18/2014Couldn't have been happier that I got a reservation at Dell'A for our 2nd anniversary. The food was fantastic, notably the octopuss and boar ragu. Tight space, high noise level, but fitting considering everyone is so enthralled with the food, tasteful dining room with 2 bars, great service, overall solid spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JonnyJonnyDined on 10/11/2014Excellent ! Recommended by a friend and now I have recommended this restaurant to about a dozen people this week. Pasta closest to eating in Italy !!! Impeccable service and great ambiance. Finished off 2 great pasta dishes with a heavenly chocolate tart with hazelnut ice creamSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, good serviceLbrasinDined on 10/10/2014We had dinner here before going to see a Broadway show. I didn't feel overdressed in my black dress, but you could wear jeans, too. The service was good and the waiter very helpful. We had the arrabiatta pasta and the branzino and they were fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Below average across the boardTravelerVIPDined on 10/9/2014We had been wanting to try Dell'Anima for some time, and finally did so last week. Unfortunately we were unimpressed and will not return. Every aspect of the dining experience there - from atmosphere, to service and food - was off the mark. The space was aesthetically bland, as well as loud and cramped. The service was rushed, unpolished, and impersonal. Oh, and don't bother with any special dietary requests. The food itself was forgettable, not even adequately seasoned. For the same price point you can and will find better and more flavorful food, Italian or not, elsewhere in the West Village, not to mention a better overall dining experience.
- Great spotsjb1VIPDined on 10/7/2014Love this place. I always try to eat at the chef's table where they cook right in front of you. Food is always delicious and staff is always great. I have been many times.Special Features:
- Memorable eveningnyciteDined on 10/3/2014Try the fish and the tagliatelle. Lively atmosphere which encourages conversing close and gives you privacy in a bustling restaurant full of people. Recommended.Special Features:
- Still a Bit to LearnTOFoodieDined on 10/3/2014Service was friendly, prompt and courteous. Good was a hit and miss. First pasta ordered was bland and not spicy as it should have been. They replaced it with a better one. Portions small. No offer of compensation, free dessert, etc. for very bland pasta arrabiatta. Unfortunate for a cute restaurant with lots of competition in NYC.Special Features:
- Fabulous!love2eatDined on 10/1/2014My husband and I visited dell'anima on the recommendation of friends in Denver. Our waiter, Ben did a fabulous job of recommending dishes with wine pairings. We sat at the chef's table and looked on as the chef and his assistants put together all the plates and answered our foodie questions. The chicken dish was to die for. We may never eat chicken again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and atmosphereAnnieDined on 9/24/2014This is the second time I've been to dell'anima and once again it did not fail to impress. The good is delicous. Simple Italian with wonderful flavors. I look forward to continue going back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!food4meDined on 9/20/20144 of us went. We ordered various pasta's, appetizers, entrees, 2 bottles of wine, and one dessert to share. We shared all the dishes. Everything was incredibly delicious and gourmet. The wait staff was excellent. Attentive,helpful and not over bearing. I would recommend this restaurant whole heartedly.Special Features:

- Definitely RecommendbmcdermotttVIPDined on 9/8/2014This place is an absolute must, especially if you're into Italian food. I had the Charred Octopus, Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, and Pollo al Diavolo. I would recommend any of these dishes in a heartbeat, especially the Tagliatelle. The ingredients were all so fresh and packed some really amazing flavor. Also, the wine list is rather impressive. Perfect spot for a date or special occasion, very friendly staff, and all around a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingbrunognDined on 9/7/2014I never wrote a restaurant review before but the amount of black pepper in my gnocchi was just outrageous. It was more like Sbarro's than "high end Italian". There should be an "Authentic Italian Food Association" to shut down places like this!Special Features:

- Excellent Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/30/2014Started off with assortment of the bruschetta dips; wonderful with wine. Beets salad was refreshing and dressed properly. Try the Carbonara, it was made to perfection. The Branzino cartuccio was probably the best prepared and tasting fish I had in a long time. Service was attentive and plates and silverware changed with new course. Small place so book in advance.Special Features:
- peachyss16VIPDined on 8/29/2014I always love going to this restaurant. The menu is always changing with the season and what is available; a sign of a great chef. I love that you can sit and watch the food being prepared in the open kitchen environment. Super friendly staff and an all-around amazing experience.Special Features:
- Favorite and Consistently GoodvillagegalDined on 8/24/2014I always order the same thing but dine with other who order other things to taste. We always love what we ordered while also wishing we'd ordered what someone else got -- it's all that consistently good. Delicious, fresh, ideal food and fun setting whether inside or outside in the back. It has a great downtown NYC vibe. I am always looking for an excuse to return.Special Features:
- Great dinnner!nycdinerVIPDined on 8/23/2014You know a restaurant is great when the most simple dish is one of the best (bucatini). Also loved the other pastas, and the fish. Will return to try new items and enjoy our favorites again!Special Features:

- A delightwendyweDined on 7/26/2014My peekytoe crab and avocado was a superb marriage of flavours; his carbonara was delicious and light being made with egg rather than cream; the espresso-rum almond cake, not especially espresso or rum flavoured but totally yummy. We sat outside which was perfect for a romantic evening. I suspect it is quite noisy inside. The waitperson was so warm and positive and well informed about both the food and the wine that she really added to the evening.Special Features:

- Great DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/29/2014My husband were in NYC for our anniversary and a colleague of mine recommended dell'anima. We had a reservation but the tables were running a little behind. The hostesses and the manager were very attentive during the delay and we were able to have a drink at the bar while we waited. The manager continued to make our experience more enjoyable. He offered help selecting a wine and offered feedback on menu items. The staff did not linger unnecessarily yet our water glasses were never empty. The courses were served with nice time in between each. Our favorite dish was the bone marrow followed by the Insalate Endive. Nice work dell'anima and Robert Nieporent. Thank you.Special Features:
- Will be back!FrenchfryloverVIPDined on 6/29/2014Thanks to Robert and his warm, talented staff for spoiling us last night. We had the pleasure of sitting at the kitchen bar. This group works well together to create delicious, fresh, hot food that moves immediately out of the oven or stove to your table. Handmade pasta, fish, quail, crusty but juicy chicken, other meat selections were all on the menu. Start with the house made ricotta spread and end with the dessert that includes sea salt caramel ice cream. Anything you choose for the in between will be a treat. We were particular to the Bronzino and the penne pasta made with chanterelle mushrooms. This is a neighborhood gem with great energy. We were treated to a celebrity spotting. She is one smart actor choosing to eat at Dell'Anima!Special Features:

Future of Nursing Initiative
TUESDAY, Sept. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Optimization of the supply chain process is feasible in a pediatric perioperative setting, according to a study published in the September issue of the AORN Journal.
Janice L. Davis, R.N., from Huron Healthcare, and Robert Doyle, R.N., from Navigant Consulting -- both in Chicago, investigated whether optimization of the supply chain process is feasible to reduce nonlabor expenses in the perioperative setting of a pediatric hospital.
The investigators found that the optimization process incorporates activities from initial product selection, acquisition, and distribution, to inventory management and control. The value analysis process, an evidence-based product selection process, supports introduction of high-quality, cost-effective products into the pediatric environment based on current need. Use of the value analysis process should be methodically enforced. Product selection should consider factors that affect the supply chain process, such as clinical implications of the change and financial implications. Product sourcing must take into account the philosophy of the hospital administrators and supply chain executives. Products should be purchased through the primary distributor as often as possible, and locally negotiated contracts are another cost-saving measure. Members of the supply chain department should assess opportunities to improve logistical efficiency in the perioperative supply chain process. An initial inventory is necessary to identify products, their locations, values, and quantities, and should be updated regularly.
"Supply chain optimization can be achieved in a pediatric hospital through product standardization, logistical efficiency, inventory management, and inventory control," the authors write.
Both of the study authors disclosed financial ties to Navigant Consulting.

|Red Cliff.... international vs US theatrical.
I noticed that for the longer International version, the subtitles are in Spanish only whereas for the shorter US version, the subtitles are in Spanish and English. Is there a way I can get the longer 288-min version but with English subtitles?

Mouth of the South (Largemouth, that is!)
November 1, 2014 by Good Sam Camping · Leave a Comment
Surrounded by saltwater and an abundance of freshwater inland lakes, the state of Florida is well known for its fantastic fishing, luring thousands of fishing fanatics to its many shores each year. Inland lakes are particularly popular because they have some of the best bass fishing in the world, with largemouth bass being the most popular freshwater game fish in Florida. Largemouth bass are not only one of the most sought after freshwater fish in Florida, it's also the official state freshwater fish. This popular species is in season all year, so they're always a sure bet for the snowbirds and visitors that Florida reels in year after year. The Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and Lake Okeechobee are always popular choices for bass fishing – both ranking in the top 25 of Bassmaster's top 100 bass lakes of 2014. The Kissimmee Chain of Lakes consists of eight lakes with Lake Tohopealiga, Lake Cypress and Lake Kissimmee standing apart as the cream of the crop of this chain. Boasting a... [Read more...]

Why Fall Camping Is So Great.
October 2, 2014 by Rex Vogel · 1 Comment
It's that time of year again and fall means pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and hay rides. Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons especially along the Cherohala Skyway Scenic Byway, North Carolina. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved Of course, one of the most compelling reasons to camp in fall is the burst of color on the trees as the leaves change to their autumn hues. Depending on the latitude and elevation, fall foliage is usually most stunning from September through October, but can linger into November. The reds, yellows, and oranges of the fall foliage will amaze you. With the hot muggy days of summer behind us, camping takes on a new life. Chilly mornings, perfect hiking weather, and warm comfort food all come together to make fall camping a must-do for all camping enthusiasts. The autumn season has always been a great time for camping. Few to no mosquitoes, cooler temperatures, beautiful colors, and quieter campgrounds all make it ideal. Winter will be calling before you know... [Read more...]

Packing for an RV Weekend Getaway
September 15, 2014 by Good Sam Camping Team · 10 Comments
Packing for an RV weekend getaway can be stressful. First, you have to find the time to pack during your normal weekly routine. Then, you might stress over lists, hauling your stuff back and forth, and forgetting things that you wish you hadn't – or even worse, forgetting absolutely mandatory stuff, such as mom's mystery novel when the perpetrator is about to reveal himself, or junior's freestyle BMX bike – not to mention dad's favorite Crankbait trout lure. You might think that duplicating everything from your home in your RV is a good idea, until you consider the cost, how to handle perishable foods, what to do with the pots and pans you didn't get washed before leaving camp on the last trip, and all that dirty laundry that has to be washed. However, to get close to "duplicating everything" there are steps you can take to make packing for the weekend getaway relatively painless. If at all possible, park the RV in front of your house the night before your trip so it can... [Read more...]
RV Tech-Tip: Reducing The Rattles of RV Travel
September 4, 2014 by Peter Mercer · Leave a Comment
The Rattles of RV travel Unlike a towable RV, a motorized unit involves travelling in the RV for the entire journey. This also means listening to all the silverware, dishes and glasses that tend to rattle, sometimes nonstop. They still do this in a towable, you just don't hear it. In addition to the annoying clatter, tinkling and cracking sounds that emerge from every cupboard and drawer, your pieces are slowly being destroyed. Cracks, chips and abrasive marks on your dinnerware are going to become evident and finally be ruined, given time. So, how can it be prevented? How can you reduce the rattles of RV travel? How can peace reign within the coach's cabin? You may have tried towels, rags or napkins inserted between each, but that's not the answer. They still move about until they once again start the familiar clattering chorus. Non-Skid Shelf Liner Material So, how do you reduce the rattles of RV travel? Well, here's the answer you have been looking for, and it's... [Read more...]
Top 4 Ways To Ensure a Clean RV and Campsite
August 22, 2014 by Cynthia Baum · 3 Comments
Top 4 Ways to Ensure a Clean RV and Campsite 1. Bring a Broom/Dust Pan– This may seem like common sense, but its imperative to sweep out the dirt, dust, leaves, etc to maintain a clean RV, (or tent), during the camp out. And it is even more important to remember to clean up after your camp out, before heading home. 2. Bring a Floor Covering and Mat for right outside your RV (or tent)– Many places sell these and they come in a wide range of sizes. You can get ones that are soft and squishy or have fake grass, either way you definitely need something to cover the ground for when you step down out of the RV. It is even more important when you are heading into the RV. It is nice to have a clean area (on the mat), where you can sit and take off your shoes before entering, which leads me to my next point… 3. Take your Shoes off before Entering the RV EVERY SINGLE TIME!– This can be tricky and seem tedious if your shoes are not the easy kind that slip on and... [Read more...]
Explore South Carolina
August 18, 2014 by Doug Gelbert · Leave a Comment
Raven Cliffs Falls tumbles off Upcountry escarpment For first-time vacationers to South Carolina, the state is bursting with surprises. Starting with its size – South Carolina is one of the ten smallest states and the entire Palmetto State isn't beyond much of a three-hour drive. That means a day trip to the mountainous Upcountry from your favorite RV park in the Lowcountry is a comfortable possibility. You can easily explore South Carolina by taking a trip to Folly Beach, Edisto Beach or Hunting Island from your best lakeside campsite in the Upcountry. South Carolina has its own bonafide national park – something most of its Southern neighbors can't claim. Congaree National Park is a world of languid blackwater rivers and protects the largest contiguous old growth bottomland of loblolly pines, tupelo and bald cypress in the United States. Natural wonders extend beyond the swamps; Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. It's... [Read more...]
RVing With Pets
August 5, 2014 by Doug Gelbert · 9 Comments
Pets on the road by Harry Gephart. In just a short time, Americans traveling and RVing with pets has become as accepted as traveling with kids. That does not mean pets in campgrounds should be considered a right and not a privilege, even though many Good Sam campgrounds display that little terrier symbol for "Pets Welcome." When traveling with a pet, it is imperative to remember that you are an ambassador for all pet owners and your pet's good behavior will help ensure continued access to campgrounds in the future. So take the campground rules seriously. As hard as it is for pet lovers to believe, not everyone loves dogs, and dog owners are still fewer in number than non-dog owners in America.

What I've Learned From Full-Time RVing With My Newlywed Wife
July 31, 2014 by Good Sam Team · 7 Comments
Heath and Alyssa Padgett are newlyweds on an RV honeymoon across America. I know what you're thinking. What guy in his right mind would take his newlywed wife and travel the country in an RV? The first year of marriage can be tough enough without adding broken pump lines and the stress of learning the RV lifestyle. But, to be completely honest, it's been the adventure of a lifetime. My wife and I are on a fifty-state, seven-month RV honeymoon across America in our 1994 Coachmen Leprechaun. Here's what I've learned in the first 60 days of being on the road full-time in an RV. Grace. I've learned to give my wife grace for her mishaps. After all, we are within 29 ft of each other 24 hours a day. It would make for an extremely long seven months of travel if you never learn to forgive and forget. I've also learned to allow grace for myself. I've broken a toilet seat, flooded the RV, and backed into a car at a grocery store. If I spent all my time being upset at what a screw-up... [Read more...]

"Thick-ness" is what *most* Afro-American males are attracted to either because they don't like the petite looking woman, and perfer more bulky built women or because that's how the sisters are shaped.

In the garden
Growing a fall vegetable garden
Harvesting vegetables out of your own garden is very satisfying. Vegetables you grow yourself just seem to taste better, and it's particularly nice to know they also help reduce the grocery bill.
You can continue to enjoy home-grown vegetables until first frost or, in some cases, until several weeks after the first freeze if you begin putting a fall vegetable garden in now.
In Central Virginia, the first frost usually occurs around Oct. 15, so early August is the right time to begin planning and planting.
"We'll start our seeds during the next couple of weeks," says Henrico Master Gardener Robin Bryant, who's planning a fall garden with residents at the home where she works as a counselor. "It will be time to take out our squash, and that frees up a big space for planting."
Last year Bryant raised fall crops of lettuce, beets, collards, turnips and kale in her garden. "Some crops will even overwinter here," she says. "Last year, I thought the kale was dead and started to pull it out, but my boyfriend suggested we leave it in, and it came back in the spring."
Many vegetables can be grown in the fall, and the flavor of some, such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, and Brussels sprouts may actually be improved after a frost.
If they're mulched, kale, spinach, onions, lettuce, parsley, parsnips, carrots and salsify can be enjoyed throughout the winter.
Before planting fall crops, you may need to restore nutrients removed by spring and summer crops by adding compost or a light application of a complete chemical fertilizer to your soil.
Seeds need to be planted in moist soil so plant after a rain or water thoroughly the day before. The Virginia Extension Service recommends sprouting seeds indoors before planting for a fall garden. Sprouted seeds can be planted deeper than normal which helps prevent them from drying out.
Bryant hasn't tried sprouting her seeds before planting, but she agrees that attentive watering is a must, especially after seedlings begin to appear. "You have to keep watering," says Bryant. "Water, water, water, every day, sometimes even twice a day, or the little seedlings are not going to make it."
Insects may not pose the same problems in fall vegetables because their peak activity is usually in mid-summer, but you'll still need to check the plants periodically. Rotating crops so that those in the same family are not put back into the same space in the garden can also help prevent disease and pest problems.
"When I was a child gardening with my father, we only had a summer garden," says Bryant. "But when I became a master gardener, I learned about fall gardens and started planting them."
"We really enjoy our gardens," she adds.
Fall gardens help optimize production from your gardening space, and they can be an opportunity to try again if something you planted in the spring didn't grow. As Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson says, "Gardening is always a lovely learning experience."

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Baker Bowl
Baker Bowl is the best-known popular name of a baseball park that formerly stood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its formal name, painted on its outer wall, was National League Park. It was also initially known as Philadelphia Park or Philadelphia Base Ball Grounds.It was on a small city block bounded by N. Broad St., W. Huntingdon St., N. 15th St. and W. Lehigh Avenue.
The ballpark was initially built in 1887. At that time the media praised it as state-of-the-art. In that dead-ball era, the outfield was enclosed by a relatively low wall all around. Center field was fairly close, with the railroad tracks running behind it. Later, the tracks were lowered and the field was extended over top of them. Bleachers were built in left field, and over time various extensions were added to the originally low right field wall, resulting in the infamous 60-foot (18 m) fence.
The ballpark's second incarnation opened in 1895. Its upper deck was notable for having the first cantilevered design in a sports stadium and was the first ballpark to be constructed primarily from steel and brick. It also took the rule book literally, as the sweeping curve behind the plate was about 60 feet (18 m), and instead of angling back toward the foul lines, the 60-foot (18 m) wide foul ground extended all the way to the wall in right, and well down the left field line also. The spacious foul ground, while not fan-friendly, would have resulted in more foul-fly outs than in most parks, and thus was probably the park's one saving grace in the minds of otherwise-frustrated pitchers.
The Baker Wall
Baker Bowl's right field wall circa 1920 after the metal screen was added to extend the total height to 60 feet (18 m). Notice the Phillies advertisement for Lifebuoy Soap along the length of the wall. An often-told joke was that even if the team used the product, they still "stunk".
The most notable and talked-about feature of Baker Bowl was the right field wall, which was only some 280 feet (85 m) from home plate, with right-center only 300 feet (91.5 m) away, and with a wall-and-screen barrier that in its final form was 60 feet (18 m) high. By comparison, the Green Monster at Fenway Park is 37 feet (11 m) high and 310 feet (94 m) away. The Baker wall was a rather difficult task to surmount. The wall was an amalgam of different materials. It was originally a relatively normal-height masonry structure. When it became clear that it was too soft a home run touch, the barrier was extended upward using more masonry, wood, and a metal pipe-and-wire screen. The masonry in the lower part of the wall was extremely rough (Benson termed it "the sort of surface that efficiently removes an outfielder's skin upon contact") and eventually a layer of tin was laid over the entire structure except for the upper part of the screen. The wall dominated the stadium in much the same way as the Green Monster does, only some 30 feet (9.1 m) closer to the diamond; and because of its material, it made a distinctive sound when balls ricocheted off it, as happened frequently.
The ballpark, shoehorned as it was into the Philadelphia city grid, acquired a number of nicknames over the years. Baker Bowl is the best-known name; its formal name, painted on its outer wall, was National League Park.
Huntingdon Street Grounds was a nickname for a while, as it was a side street running behind the first base line that intersected Broad Street, a major thoroughfare. Baker Bowl, also called Baker Field in the baseball guides, referred to one-time Phillies owner William F. Baker. The use of "Baker Field" was perhaps confusing, since Columbia University's athletic facility in New York City was also called "Baker Field". How it acquired the unique suffix "Bowl" is subject to conjecture. It may have referred to the banked bicycle track that was there for a time, or it may have been used derisively, suggesting non-existent luxuriousness. The Hump referred to a hill in center field covering a partially submerged railroad tunnel in the street beyond right field that extended through into center field. The Cigar Box and The Band Box referred to the tiny size of the playing field. After the demise of the Baker Bowl, the terms "cigar box" and "bandbox" were subsequently applied to any "intimate" ballpark (like Boston's Fenway Park or Brooklyn's Ebbets Field) whose configurations were conducive to players hitting home runs.
Philadelphia Phillies
During the 51½ seasons the Phillies played there, they managed only one pennant (1915). The 1915 World Series was significant in that it was the first time a sitting president attended a World Series game when President Wilson attended and threw out the first pitch prior to Game 2. The Series was also the first post-season appearance by Babe Ruth.
While they were occasionally at least respectable in the dead-ball era, once the lively ball was introduced the Phils nearly always finished in last place, substantially helping them towards the 10,000-loss "milestone" they reached on July 15, 2007. During its last two decades, the ballpark became heaven for batters (both home and visiting), whereas having to play half their games there every year became hell for the Phillies' pitching staff. For a number of years, a huge advertising sign on the rightfield wall read "The Phillies Use Lifebuoy", a popular brand of soap. This led to the oft-reported quip that appended "... and they still stink!" In 1936, a vandal sneaked into Baker Bowl one night and actually wrote that phrase on the Lifebuoy ad. Conventional wisdom ties their failures to Baker Bowl, but they remained cellar-dwellers in their new home as well, suggesting that Baker Bowl was only part of their problem.
On June 9, 1914, Honus Wagner hit his 3,000th career hit in the stadium. Babe Ruth played his last major league baseball game in Baker Bowl on May 30, 1935.
The ballpark was abandoned during the middle of the 1938 season, as the Phillies chose to move 5 blocks west on Lehigh Avenue to rent the newer and more spacious Shibe Park from the A's rather than remain at the Baker Bowl. Phils president Gerald Nugent cited the move as an opportunity for the Phillies to cut expenses as stadium upkeep would be split between two clubs.
At Baker Bowl, the Phillies finished with a 30-38-1 record against the A's in City Series exhibition games.
After the Phillies' move, the upper deck was peeled off and the stadium was used for sports ranging from midget auto racing to ice skating. Its old centerfield clubhouse served as a piano bar for a while. By the late 1940s, all that stood of the original structure were the four outer walls and a field choked with weeds. What remained of the ballpark was finally demolished in 1950 - coincidentally, the year of the Phils' first pennant since 1915. The site now features a gas station/convenience store where the centerfield clubhouse once stood, garages, and a car wash.
Some distinctive buildings visible in vintage photos of the ballpark remain standing and help to mark the ballpark's former presence. One is a roughly 10-story-tall, triangular building across the street to the north-northeast, behind what was centerfield. Another is the neoclassical train depot building across Broad Street from what was the end of the first base grandstand.
Philadelphia Eagles
Baker Bowl was the first home field of the Philadelphia Eagles who played there from 1933 through 1935. In their three seasons there, they had a record of 9-21-1.
Eagles' owner Bert Bell hoped to play home games at larger Shibe Park, but negotiations with the Athletics were not fruitful, and Bell agreed to a deal with Phillies' owner Gerry Nugent. For Eagles games, 5,000 temporary seats were erected along the right-field wall. The Eagles played their first game at the ballpark on October 3, 1933, a 40–0 pre-season victory over a U.S. Marines team; the game was played at night under rented floodlights. In the first regular-season game on October 18, 1933, 1,750 fans saw the Portsmouth Spartans beat the Eagles, 25–0. Later that season, 17,850 fans watched the Eagles tie the Chicago Bears on Sunday, November 18, 1933. Under Pennsylvania Blue Laws, Sunday games had been prohibited.
With the ballpark in poor condition, the Eagles left Baker Bowl after the 1935 season for the city-owned Municipal Stadium, which was then only ten years old and could seat up to 100,000 spectators.
Other tenants
During its tenure, the park also hosted Negro League games, including those of the Hilldale Daisies and Negro League World Series games from 1924-1926. The first two games of the 1924 Colored World Series between the Kansas City Monarchs and the local Hilldale Club were hosted at Baker Bowl on October 3 and October 4, owing to its larger capacity.
It was during a 1929 exhibition with a Negro League team that Babe Ruth hit two home runs that landed about halfway into the rail yards across the street in right.
Rodeos were occasionally held at Baker Bowl in order to raise additional revenue. That activity and mindset fit with the reported use of sheep to graze on the field during Phillies road trips, in lieu of buying lawn mowers, until sometime in the 1920s.
Fire destroyed the grandstand and bleachers of the original stadium on August 6, 1894. The $80,000 in damage (equal to $2,024,000 today) was covered fully by insurance. The fire also spread to the adjoining properties, causing an additional $20,000 in damage, equal to $506,000 today.
Temporary stands were built in time for a game on August 18. It was then fully rebuilt of fireproof materials with a cantilevered upper deck. It also contained a banked bicycle track for a while, exploiting the cycling craze that caught the nation's fancy in the late 19th century. In terms of pure design, the ballpark was well ahead of its time, but subsequent problems and the parsimony of the team's owners undermined any apparent positives, as the ballpark soon became rundown and unsafe.
During a game on August 8, 1903, some carrying-on in 15th Street caught the attention of bleacher fans down the left field line. Many of them ran to the top of the wooden seating area, and the added stress on that section of the bleachers caused it to collapse into the street, killing 12 and injuring 232. This led to more renovation of the stadium and forced the ownership to sell the team. The Phillies temporarily moved to the Philadelphia Athletics' home field, Columbia Park, while Baker Bowl was repaired. The Phillies played sixteen games at Columbia Park in August and September 1903.
During a game on May 14, 1927, parts of two sections of the lower deck extension along the right-field line collapsed due to rotted shoring timbers, again triggered by an oversize gathering of people, who were seeking shelter from the rain. Miraculously, no one died during the collapse, but one individual did die from heart failure in the subsequent stampede that injured 50.
After both of those catastrophes, the Phils rented from the A's while repairs were being made to the old structure.
When Baker Bowl was first opened, it was praised as the finest baseball palace in America. By the time it was abandoned, it had been a joke for years. The Chicago Tribune ran a series of articles on baseball parks during the summer of 1937, and the article about Baker Bowl was merciless in its ridicule of this park. The many futile attempts to keep it going, for a dozen years after its abandonment, only added to the ridicule due to the park's "lingering death". The later Phillies' ballparks, Shibe Park and Veterans Stadium, would similarly undergo the cycle of praise upon opening and disdain upon closure.
A Pennsylvania Historical marker stands on Broad Street just north of West Huntingdon Street, Philadelphia. The marker is titled, "Baker Bowl National League Park" and the text reads,
The Phillies' baseball park from its opening in 1887 until 1938. Rebuilt 1895; hailed as nation's finest stadium. Site of first World Series attended by U.S. President, 1915; Negro League World Series, 1924-26; Babe Ruth's last major league game, 1935. Razed 1950.
The marker was dedicated on August 16, 2000 at Veterans Stadium during an on-the-field pre-game ceremony. The marker was unveiled by former-Phillies shortsop Bobby Stevens, who played for the team in 1931 and then current-Phillies pitcher Randy Wolf. The marker was displayed at the Vet through the end of the 2000 season and then moved to the location of the ballpark, just behind where the right field foul pole would be.

- Die Unabhängigkeit des Vergütungsberaters (2010)
- Der Deutsche Corporate Governance – Kodex empfiehlt seit seiner jüngsten Änderung im Juni 2009, dass der Aufsichtsrat auf die "Unabhängigkeit" eines von ihm herangezogenen externen Vergütungsberaters achten soll. Dieses Unabhängigkeitserfordernis wirft mehrere Fragen auf, denen im Folgenden nachgegangen werden soll. Außerdem entwickelt der Beitrag Vorschläge, wie Aufsichtsrat und Vergütungsberater verfahren sollten, um der Empfehlung des Corporate Governance-Kodex zu genügen.
- The impact of macroeconomic news on quote adjustments, noise, and informational volatility (2010)
- We study the impact of the arrival of macroeconomic news on the informational and noise-driven components in high-frequency quote processes and their conditional variances. Bid and ask returns are decomposed into a common ("efficient return") factor and two market-side-specific components capturing market microstructure effects. The corresponding variance components reflect information-driven and noise-induced volatilities. We find that all volatility components reveal distinct dynamics and are positively influenced by news. The proportion of noise-induced variances is highest before announcements and significantly declines thereafter. Moreover, news-affected responses in all volatility components are influenced by order flow imbalances. JEL Classification: C32, G14, E44 Keywords: Efficient Return, Macroeconomic Announcements, Microstructure Noise, Informational Volatility.
- Are particular industries more likely to succeed? : A comparative analysis of VC investment in the U.S. and Europe (2010)
- The objective of this study is to determine whether specific industries across countries or within countries are more likely to reach a stage of profitability and make a successful exit. In particular, we assess whether firms in certain industries are more prone to exit via IPO, be acquired, or exit through a leveraged buy-out. We are also interested in analyzing whether substantial differences across industries and countries arise when looking separately at the success' rate of firms which have received venture funding at the early seed and start-up stages, vis-à-vis firms that received funding at later stages. Our results suggest that, inasmuch as some of the differences in performance can be explained by country-specific factors, there are also important idiosyncratic differences across industries: In particular, firms in the biotech and the medical / health / life science sectors tend to be significantly more likely to have a successful exit via IPO, while firms in the computer industry and communications and media are more prone to exit via merger or acquisition. Key differences across industries also emerge when considering infant versus mature firms, and their preferred exit.

- A call on art investments (2010)
- The art market has seen boom and bust during the last years and, despite the downturn, has received more attention from investors given the low interest environment following the financial crisis. However, participation has been reserved for a few investors and the hedging of exposures remains dificult. This paper proposes to overcome these problems by introducing a call option on an art index, derived from one of the most comprehensive data sets of art market transactions. The option allows investors to optimize their exposure to art. For pricing purposes, non-tradability of the art index is acknowledged and option prices are derived in an equilibrium setting as well as by replication arguments. In the former, option prices depend on the attractiveness of gaining exposure to a previously non-traded risk. This setting further overcomes the problem of art market exposures being dificult to hedge. Results in the replication case are primarily driven by the ability to reduce residual hedging risk. Even if this is not entirely possible, the replication approach serves as pricing benchmark for investors who are significantly exposed to art and try to hedge their art exposure by selling a derivative. JEL Classification: G11, G13, Z11 Keywords: Art Market, Art Index, Alternative Investments, Option Pricing.
- Risk and expected returns of private equity investments : evidence based on market prices (2010)
- We estimate the risk and expected returns of private equity investments based on the market prices of exchange traded funds of funds that invest in unlisted private equity funds. Our results indicate that the market expects unlisted private equity funds to earn abnormal returns of about one to two percent. We also find that the market expects listed private equity funds to earn zero to marginally negative abnormal returns net of fees. Both listed and unlisted private equity funds have market betas close to one and positive factor loadings on the Fama-French SMB factor. Private equity fund returns are positively correlated with GDP growth and negatively correlated with the credit spread. Finally, we find that market returns of exchange traded funds of funds and listed private equity funds predict changes in self-reported book values of unlisted private equity funds.

- Blockholder dispersion and firm value (2010)
- This paper analyzes the impact of blockownership dispersion on firm value. Blockholdings by multiple blockholders is a widespread phenomenon in the U.S. market. It is not clear, however, whether dispersion among blockholder is preferable to having a more concentrated ownership structure. To test for the direction of the effect, we use a large dataset of U.S. firms that combines blockholder information, shareholder rights information, debt ratings, accounting information, and financial markets information. We find that a large fraction of aggregated block ownership negatively affects Tobin's Q. The negative impact is larger if blockowners are more dispersed, suggesting that a concentrated ownership structure is to be preferred on average. Results are robust to controlling for blockholder type as well as proxies for shareholder rights. Our empirical findings are also confirmed if we study the impact of ownership dispersion on firm debt ratings rather than Tobin's Q. JEL Classification: G3, G32 Keywords: Corporate Governance, Ownership Structure, Multiple Blockholders, Firm Value
- The electronic exchange of information and respect for private life, banking secrecy and the free internal market (2010)
- The purpose of this essay is to assess the automatic exchange of information as described in EU Directive 2003/48 of 3 June 2003 on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments with regard to the fundamental right of the individual to a private life, to banking secrecy and the freedoms on which the European internal market is based. The assessment reveals the conflicts of interests and values involved in the holding by banks (particularly those offering private banking services) of increasingly extensive, detailed and intimate information about their clients and in the automatic processing of that information by ever more powerful and sophisticated systems. Banking secrecy plays an essential role in protecting clients against the dangers which the disclosure of such information without their permission might produce. Banking secrecy exists not only in Luxembourg but also in many other European countries, and in Germany and France in particular it is not very different from the system applying in Luxembourg. While the French and German tax authorities do have some investigative powers not enjoyed by their Luxembourg counterparts, those powers are strictly circumscribed and cannot rely on the electronic exchange of information set out in EU Directive 2003/48/EC. While banking secrecy is totally incompatible with the electronic exchange of information, the core question is whether the latter can be reconciled with the respect for private life. In a Europe that sets itself up as the cradle of human rights, the general and en-masse exchange of private information cannot provide adequate and sufficient guarantees that the information exchanged will not be misused. The amount of interference in private life is clearly out of proportion to the public interest involved and is contrary to sub-section 2, article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and to articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Since the automatic exchange of information at least potentially risks restricting the free flow of capital among Member States and discouraging the use of transborder banking services, its compliance with the fundamental principles of the internal market also needs to be closely examined. The restrictions imposed by such exchange very probably go beyond the limits within which the free movement of capital and services is possible. The European Court of Justice has found that there is no proportionality if the measures supposedly undertaken in the general interest are actually based on a general presumption of tax evasion or tax fraud. However, it would be true to say that the ECJ does not always examine the tax restrictions placed on the free movement of capital particularly thoroughly to ensure that they are necessary or proportionate. The economic effectiveness of the automatic exchange of information is far from being proved and involves significant cost to the banks providing the information and to the tax authorities using it. To date the system does not appear to have produced any significant new tax revenue nor does it prevent the continuing outflow of capital from Europe. Yet withholding at source, which respects individual and economic freedoms, does generate tax revenue that is cost-free to the State. Exchange of information on request in justified cases using the OECD Tax Convention on Income and Capital model does also fight tax fraud while at the same time providing citizens with the guarantees required to ensure their private lives are respected. A combination of these two systems - withholding at source and exchange of information on request in justified cases - would create the proper balance between the public and private interest that the automatic exchange of information cannot provide.
- Washington meets Wall Street : a closer examination of the presidential cycle puzzle (2010)
- We show that average excess returns during the last two years of the presidential cycle are significantly higher than during the first two years: 9.8 percent over the period 1948 – 2008. This pattern in returns cannot be explained by business-cycle variables capturing time-varying risk premia, differences in risk levels, or by consumer and investor sentiment. In this paper, we formally test the presidential election cycle (PEC) hypothesis as the alternative explanation found in the literature for explaining the presidential cycle anomaly. PEC states that incumbent parties and presidents have an incentive to manipulate the economy (via budget expansions and taxes) to remain in power. We formulate eight empirically testable propositions relating to the fiscal, monetary, tax, unexpected inflation and political implications of the PEC hypothesis. We do not find statistically significant evidence confirming the PEC hypothesis as a plausible explanation for the presidential cycle effect. The existence of the presidential cycle effect in U.S. financial markets thus remains a puzzle that cannot be easily explained by politicians employing their economic influence to remain in power. JEL Classification: E32; G14; P16 Keywords: Political Economy, Market Efficiency, Anomalies, Calendar Effects
