"I've never had a game like this," said Vakos. "To go to the Final Four is a huge deal and I knew this was the last chance for me, so I had to lay it all on the line."
In addition to Vakos' four goals, VanGlahn, Ziesmann and Senese each tallied two assists in the Cardinals' win.
"I have to give a lot of credit to my linemates, VanGlahn and Senese," added Vakos. "They both gave me really great opportunities to score."
Plattsburgh State outshot Williams, 49-25. The Cardinals went 0-for-3 on the power play while the Ephs were 0-for-2.
Aveson improves to 20-1-1 on the year with 24 saves in the win for Plattsburgh State. Billadeau recorded 45 saves in the loss for the Ephs, finishing the season with an 8-7-3 record.
With the win, Plattsburgh State advances to the final four for the third-straight season. The Cardinals will serve as the hosts of the 2014 NCAA Division III Women's Ice Hockey Championships and will face St. Thomas (Minn.) in the NCAA semifinals after the Tommies defeated Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 5-0.

The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up a cloud make-over for the enterprise talent management system (ETMS) that tracks employee skills and administrative housekeeping capabilities for eight operational agencies, DHS headquarters facilities and 250,000 employees.
The ETMS will be supported by one of the first shared services models implemented at DHS under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), said Terry Miller, chief operating officer at Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP). FedRAMP provides federal IT with a framework for security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. VIP was the only FedRAMP-certified bidder for the project, said VIP CEO Jonna Ward.
VIP teamed with its Meridian Knowledge Solutions subsidiary to win the $95 million single-award blanket purchase agreement from DHS. VIP is the prime contractor for the BPA and will supply IT services, including software planning and analysis, design, integration and testing. VIP's wholly-owned Meridian subsidiary will deliver the ETMS software, technical support and ongoing customer service to DHS.
Ward said the new system will take over the duties of four ETMS platforms now used at DHS. One system, at Customs and Border Protection, is already provided by VIP, she said.
DHS' Washington headquarters will be the next site where it will be installed, with follow-ons at the remaining agencies, Ward said. "Each component agency has its own project manager to convert" to the new system. ETMS rollout will be done in waves, but should be completed in less than a year, she said. Once the cloud-based platform is installed across DHS headquarters and the agency's eight operational components (CBP, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) it will provide a single platform to analyze employee skills and track talent, according to Miller.
The conversion will alter some user interfaces depending on the agency, said Ward, but not substantially. The big difference, she said, will be in pricing and capabilities. The shared services pricing is a per-user cost annually. That per-user cost will decrease as the number of users increases across the department, she said.

Mark - The statement the VIP CEO was quoted as saying isn't entirely accurate: "VIP was the only FedRAMP-certified bidder for the project". VIP does not hold a FedRAMP ATO. VIP teamed with CGI Federal, who will provide the underlying IaaS infrastructure, which does have a FedRAMP ATO. However, this does not elevate FedRAMP requirements for the VIP application. To have a FedRAMP complaint solution per OMB and FedRAMP guidance, both the underlying infrastructure and the SaaS application require FedRAMP ATO.
If it's a cloud-based platform, than what is being installed at the DHS components?

Gordon Sinclair plays Henry, the smartest, sharpest and most wickedly witty playwright of his generation. But writing about betrayal is one thing - living with it is another. When Henry starts to blur the boundaries of life and art, his relationships with the women in his life get rather sticky.
Best known as the gawky Scottish teen from the hit 1981 film Gregory's Girl, Gordon Sinclair has continued to appear regularly on stage, film and television. His theatre credits include Kafka's Dick (Piccadilly), Burning Issues (Hampstead) and She Loves Me (Savoy), for which he won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical. His other screen credits include Local Hero, My Summer with Des and the 1999 follow up to his big hit, Gregory's Two Girls.
Gordon Sinclair is joined in the cast of The Real Thing by Suzan Sylvester, Liz Crowther, Michael Lumsden, Christopher Mills, Sebastian Mitchinson and Kelly Waters. The production is designed by Kit Surrey, with lighting by.
Stoppard's play was originally seen in London in 1982, directed by Peter Wood and starring Felicity Kendall. It reached Broadway in 1984, featuring Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons, winning a number of Tony awards. In 1999/2000, the play was revived in the West End to great acclaim, first at the Donmar Warehouse, then transferring to the Albery. That David Leveaux-directed revival, which starred Stephen Dillane and Jennifer Ehle, was nominated for four Oliviers. Dillane and Ehle also won Tony awards for their roles when the show reached Broadway.
Following Plymouth, the Gordon Sinclair-headed production will visit Guildford, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, Bradford, Cheltenham, Norwich and Nottingham.

New Children's Defense Fund Report Highlights NRA's Efforts To Hide The Truth About Guns And Block Child Gun Violence Prevention
The report calls on Congress to protect children from gun violence by supporting common sense gun safety measures this year, including universal background checks, limits on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, public funding for gun violence prevention research, consumer safety standards for all guns, and resources and authority for law enforcement agencies to properly enforce gun laws.
The report contains a state-by-state breakdown of child and teen gun deaths; analysis of the psychological and emotional trauma of gun violence on children; comparisons of U.S. gun violence rates with other high-income countries; good and bad state actions on gun violence prevention; and an economic analysis of the cost of gun violence. The report also provides actions that individuals, communities and policymakers can take now to protect children from gun violence.

.- Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino of Caracas told reporters this week the Church would officially respond to the attacks on the bishops by President Hugo Chavez and that the response would be "sensible, thought-out, very mature and respectful."
Speaking during the 88th Plenary Assembly of the Bishops' Conference of Venezuela, he rejected Chavez's comments, who said the bishops were "perverts, liars and deceivers" for calling for a debate on constitutional reform.
In referring to the anniversary of the country's declaration of independence, Cardinal Urosa called on Venezuelans "give the best of themselves" out of love and respect so that Venezuela might be a country where there is "inclusion, respect, social justice, work and progress for all."
For Catholics, he noted, love of country is of the utmost importance because it is a manifestation of the fourth commandment. He said the celebration of the country's independence should be a day of patriotic fervor "which should burn in the hearts of all Venezuelans and should manifest itself in solidarity, the determination to work for the common good without hatred, exclusions or confrontations."

Summary: The text explores the way democracy responds to challenges from diverse constituencies or dramatic public events. The book emphasizes the gap that exists between myth and reality in government today. "Myth vs. Reality" boxes help to integrate the theme "Democracy Under Pressure" within the context of individual chapters while sharpening the critical aspects of the content. ...show moreCoverage of Hispanic, Asian and Native American minorities in U.S. politics and in the population at large, including material on immigration laws and proposals by the Bush Administration. The design of the text highlights the chapter opening vignettes, which provide real-life examples of the material presented in the chapter. Each opening section is followed by a key question that provides a framework of inquiry for that chapter to engage the student to think critically more critically about the readings. "Questions to Consider" in each chapter focus on critical thinking and are integrated by icons with the study guide & website so students can research and answer questions posed in the text. "Making a Difference" boxes profile the ability of individuals to have an impact on the political process through participation. "Comparing Government" boxes give readers context by relating how world governments (besides our own) approach various political processes, institutions, and issues.

John Hockenberry: Doing the Math on the Value of College
Thursday, June 14, 2012
Two kids starting high school. In New York City Public schools, that is an exciting moment and something of a relief. It concludes what can be a harrowing admissions process. My wife and I are certainly glad that's over for our twin 13-year-old daughters, but having two girls going into ninth grade starts something else rolling. The first day of ninth grade will be the first step down that long road to choosing and being ready — financially and otherwise — for college.
Preserving Endangered Sounds
Wednesday, June 06, 2012

Audio Essay: John Hockenberry Crashes Clooney's Fundraiser
Friday, May 11, 2012
The biggest campaign fundraiser in history raised $15 million and packed a star-filled house of Hollywood millionaires in LA with the President at the center of it all. A huge chunk of the money came from people who were entered in a drawing for a chance to see it all, to hang out with George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, Robert Downey Jr., producers like Jeffery Katzenberg, and director Stephen Speilberg.
Who would want to be a nobody at a party like that? We wanted to find out, so John Hockenberry crashes the Clooney dinner in this audio essay.
Archives Theft and the Uniqueness of Audio
Monday, May 07, 2012
While browsing for archival audio on the internet one night, radio historian J. David Goldin noticed a 1937 radio interview of baseball great Babe Ruth for sale on eBay. Goldin was startled; it looked almost exactly like the master copy he had donated to the National Archives more than 30 years ago. Goldin started sleuthing. His detective work set in motion an investigation that revealed one of the most serious thefts in the history of the National Archives. In stealing those master copies, the culprit stole history, a trove of mind-blowing audio recordings spanning decades of American culture. These audio recordings mark an age before television and the Internet, when only sound connected you to the rest of the world. Host John Hockenberry wonders, how does audio transport you back in time better than a photo?
John Hockenberry, Halibut Fishing in Seattle
Friday, April 20, 2012
John Hockenberry is broadcasting from KUOW in Seattle this week. While he's in town, he's reporting on the city's diverse economy. Seattle may be home to industry leaders like Starbucks, Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing, but the city grew up along the port, and the fishing industry is still a major part of Seattle's economy. John traveled to Seattle's Fisherman's Terminal to speak with a number of halibut fishermen who's families have spent generations in the industry. He talks to them about the fishing economy, the gossip on the boat, and, of course, what they think of "Deadliest Catch."

Audio Essay: The Lone Gunman
Friday, March 23, 2012
In the past few weeks we've seen the power of a single person wielding only the weapons he could carry: in Toulouse, France, in a village in Afghanistan, in a peaceful gated community in Florida. In our age of instant communication a single armed person IS an entire army, with a power sometimes greater than that of a traditional army. In an audio essay, John Hockenberry talks about lone gunmen.
How Fit Do You Have to Be to Fight Crime?
Friday, March 16, 2012
John Hockenberry joins us from London, where people are talking about fitness for police officers. After a survey found that 53 percent of officers were overweight and one in 100 was morbidly obese, new proposal in England and Wales would require officers to undergo an annual fitness test. Penalties could include paycuts for those who repeatedly fail -- all as a way to reportedly "rid the service of fat officers".
Fallout from Former Goldman Sachs Employee Piece in New York Times
Thursday, March 15, 2012
Former Goldman Sachs employee Greg Smith has cost the company more than $2 billion in stock value since his op-ed piece ran in the New York Times yesterday. Smith's very public jump from the company at the top of the Wall Street food chain has raised some questions about Goldman's internal culture, it's capacity to learn lessons from past mistakes and it's ability to control its own brand.
Forty Years Ago: The Godfather Premieres
Thursday, March 15, 2012
The Godfather defined a movie genre and defined the mafia criminal enterprise headed by a godfather who ruled like a pharoah, murdered his enemies and was a gentle grandpa to his family. That movie premiered 40 years ago today in New York, the city where it is largely set. From London John Hockenberry spoke with Federico Varese, professor of Criminology at Oxford University and author of "Mafia on the Move," about the accuracy of the mafia portrayal in the classic film.

John Hockenberry, Live in London
Monday, March 12, 2012
It's musical chairs for The Takeaway this week, as John Hockenberry guest-hosts the BBC's World Update program in London, while World Update host Dan Damon joins The Takeaway. Here, John shares some thoughts from across the pond:
It's starting to feel a little late in the day around here. The afternoons are getting longer and there is not much time left to make the magic happen. You might say that London is a city dressing up for a hot date, an all-out go-for-broke global celebration. This is a wear the pearls and the gold necklace moment. Yes, this is the moment for those traffic-stopping above-the-knee boots and that the fancy hat you haven't worn in a long time, you know the one. You can see it everywhere here.
John Hockenberry at TED2012: A Life with Intent
Friday, March 02, 2012

Kodak, Rochester and Your Company Town
Thursday, January 19, 2012
John Hockenberry, co-host of WNYC's national news radio show, The Takeaway, talks about growing up on Kodak in Rochester and takes listener calls on your company town.
Video Club: Are Secret Committees as Good as they Sound on The West Wing?
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Sometimes political truth is stranger than political fiction, but the fiction is always more fun.
For that reason, It's A Free Country brings you Video Club with Brian Lehrer, in which our veteran analysts looks at the fun-house mirrors of our government's (in)action: television and the silver screen. What did the writers get right, and where did they flop? Why were the fictional characters more sympathetic, or more detestable? How did the political theater play out in real life? More often than not, it's the reality that looks funny.
Don't Call it a Surtax: How Our Denial of Real Costs Hurts Real Talk on Taxes
Friday, October 07, 2011
Americans have a fear of taxes, period. There's a historical precedent for this, detailed in every middle school kid's history book, and as it relates to the history of tyranny, it's an understandable fear.
We often bury this fear in mounds of denial and guilt, sort of like the silly idea that we live in a world without obscenities. You know, Planet Family Values, where the Gods bleep out everything we're not supposed to hear. Bleeps are, of course, a form of emphasis, not suppression.
Without Steve Jobs, What's Next for Apple?
Thursday, August 25, 2011
Apple announced last night that Steve Jobs, co-founder and chief executive of the company, would immediately resign from his position. Tim Cook, chief operating officer there, will replace him. In a public letter, Jobs said "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come." Jobs will stay on at Apple as chairman of the board. Shortly after the news broke, Apple shares fell seven percent.
Freedom Fighters: A Libyan-American's Search for His Father in Lybia
Monday, August 22, 2011
Today on The Takeaway we covered the rebel takeover of Tripoli in Libya extensively. After the show, co-host John Hockenberry gave his own take on the morning's coverage, including an interview with a young Libyan-American whose father has been imprisoned in the country since 1993. The young man doesn't even yet know if his father has survived in prison; now his family is preparing to leave their native country to find out.

The Staff
Waking up at night because of the train noise
Had a king suite for a week while I was down for some training and the room was a great size for being able to work in one part of the room and sleep in the other the bath room was a great size and plenty of light in the room.
Wi-Fi was choppy but functional and didn't impede work just video streaming. Breakfast was lacking but it is free so what do want. There are some hot options. The road to the Hotel is the biggest problem it doesn't continue Down the free instead forcing a uturn. But great stay over all
Fair price, super clean chilly hallways! Excellent after a long day.
train right behind building
Trains pass right beside the back of the property. it can be loud at times.
I liked the hotel suite, it was perfect. Great service, separate entertainment area, the experience was very pleasant.
Staff is excellent
They doing a remodel right now
Comfort of room, breakfast
They were making renovations and had a mildew smell.
Staff friendly, professional and your hotel was very clean
Comfortable, clean, great breakfast. Warm staff.
Some trouble with wifi, and staff wasn't sure how to help.
The desk receptionist (Diana) was exceptionally helpful at check in and when we were trying to resolve the A/C noise problem! She deserves recognition for her service!
When the A/C system compressor comes on it creates a vibration and fairly loud noise. This was the same in two rooms (210 and 110). This was distracting and bothersome when you arrIve from a long day and just want to have some peace and quiet.
king sized bed, staff
noise from renovations, no fridge in room
Courtesy and the gentleman at the front desk printed local maps so we could find the bat bridge and local specialty stores..excellent service!
No luggage rack in the room..and none available when we called the desk.
Room size
-No amenities -No room service /Out of most delivery zones -Scratchy Towels -Maid service came at 745am! -"Breakfast" was a tiny muffin.
The complimentary breakfast was great! Nice variety and plenty of it. The staff was awesome. They were friendly and helpful.
The ice machine on our floor wasn't working so we had to go up one floor to get ice however, as soon as management was made aware, they were on it. The hotel does not provide shower gel or shampoo/conditioner, only soap.
Good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff.
The layout of the room was very awkward with the pull out couch blocking the path to the bathroom.
Convenient location Friendly front desk staff
Sign of hotel is hard to spot (covered by bushes). Sofa bed was very uncomfortable. No bed sheet for sofa bed.
Everything except elevators, they seemed a bit unstable, small and unreliable
The continental Breakfast was very good as well as the availability of hot tea and coffee at any time. The hotel was quiet and appeared to be secure. In addition, the room was clean and comfortable.
Great room!
the location to the domain in other places was excellent
did not spend enough time there
Poor breakfast. Poor lobby computer and printer set up.

Keeping the RIAA's Gun Loaded: The Thomas-Rasset Saga Continues

We all remember Jammie Thomas-Rasset, the first person to ever respond to an RIAA file-sharing lawsuit by going to trial, rather than settling for a few thousand dollars (as the vast majority of individuals sued by the RIAA typically do.)

360 Degrees of Rackable
Editor's Note: In this edition of "360 Degrees," RealMoney commentators take a look at Rackable Systems (RACK), which plummeted like a rock after its earnings report last week from $34.90 to $21. The momentum money has fled, but do its fundamentals make it worth picking up off the garbage heap?
TheStreet.com has always believed that offering a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints -- rather than a monolithic "house view" -- helps readers make better-informed investment decisions. In that spirit, we bring you "360 Degrees."
"360 Degrees" is a feature that takes advantage of our varied stable of contributors to RealMoney, who offer analysis of stocks and the markets from all angles -- fundamental vs. technical, short-term trader vs. long-term investor.

Pro-RACK, by Bob FaulknerRackable has lost 60% of its market value since the end of April, and roughly half of that loss came in the week since the company reported its second-quarter results July 27. The quarter was pretty good, but it was overshadowed by tepid guidance that led to a high-speed exodus by the hot-money crowd. Given the concern over the slowing economy, as well as a fair amount of mixed messages from other companies, few have been willing to step up to the name. The fundamental questions: Are the fundamentals deteriorating, and is the bloom is off the rose? From my perspective, the answer is no. There's nothing in the second-quarter results to suggest the company isn't executing according to plan. Both revenue and EPS were above street consensus (momentum players need that). While gross margins were essentially flat and at the high end of expectations, operating margins deteriorated a bit (-220 bps) as the company scaled up to support higher growth. Three quarters ago, Rackable indicated it would double its direct-sales force; that target was achieved. In addition, the company launched several R&D projects to support and enhance new servers. The balance sheet strengthened nicely as well. Cash from operations was approximately $6 million, and the cash account increased $7 million. The company's accounts receivable declined $2 million, pushing days of sales outstanding down five to 47 days. Inventory declined $13 million, with days of inventory falling 21 days to 62.

Anyone that has ever met me knows I have a rather unhealthy obsession with glasses. For some girls it's shoes, or handbags or cupcakes or whatever, but for me its spectacles, usually vintage and large. I'm often on the hunt for new shades too, and was delighted when my friend sent me a link to this amazing London based brand called PRISM. Woah, these are some seriously sexy frames! Not on the cheap side, they run about 205£, but they are hand made in Italy, and look awesome. There are a few stores in the states that carry them, so I guess I know what I'll be shopping for this weekend. Below are a few of the beautiful styles they make.

By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor | Commentary
Ever struggled with ideas of how you should bring a semblance of order to your collection — or just feel you need a new niche or project that's not player- or team-related or going to break the bank?
I have, and I have had a few whims through the years — many of which just didn't last long. (Just like the time recently I started to sort cards from a 1987 Topps vending case … it was work halfway into Box 3.)
One summer, after perusing the newest Oakland A's media guide, I decided to try and track down a common card in the proper uniform of every player to play in a game for the A's during the Oakland years (1968-forward). The guide included an alphabetical list and didn't seem too tough as I already had plenty of the cards already. It made a box of about 100 old pages from a trade useful but the idea died after a couple trips to the card shop a few weeks later.
Another idea was to collect my schools more intently — that didn't happen, either. There's just too much.
But the one idea that stuck — well, sort of — was one that I only have to pay attention to once a year on my birthday.
Years ago, while flipping through my priceless copy of Total Baseball — what us baseball geeks did before the Interwebs — I noticed that a single postseason baseball game was played the day I was born and that a single player had homered that day.
It was Oct. 9, 1976, and it was Game 1 of the National League Championship Series between the visiting Cincinnati Reds and the host Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium. The lone home run? It was hit by the Reds' George Foster off of Phillies ace and future Hall of Famer Steve Carlton in the sixth inning of a game that the Reds won, 6-3, en route to a World Series title (beating the Yankees). I made my debut several hours earlier in the afternoon.
The Reds were the first team I paid attention to as a kid — being from Ohio and having a great grandmother who religiously watched or listened to games — and I already had Foster's autograph, which had been nabbed for me at a personal appearance in Ohio by another grandma, of course. (I lived in Wyoming — pre-Colorado Rockies — not many player appearances there.)
Checking that one historic box score led to another … and another … and another.
I decided — again, a bit haphazardly — that I wanted the autograph of any player who had homered on my birthday. Seemed easy enough, right? After all, only so many games are played in October — since it's the postseason — it's not like a day in the summer where there could be 15 games on the schedule, right?
It was a challenge, but it didn't seem impossible since I already had the first … so I started. I picked up Paul Molitor and Steve Garvey (both 1981) signed baseballs in trade. I got Don Baylor (1982) and Graig Nettles (1980) through-the-mail. I already had Jose Canseco (1988) since he was my favorite player then. Certified autograph cards were not routine back then — they were typically only the domain of rookies — so I put things on hold a few months later when I had a pricey roadblock called Cal Ripken Jr. in my way and more than a few guys you probably don't even remember today. (The list is below.)
Today, that autograph list includes more than 80 players since there are more and more playoff games than ever before. I recently updated it just to see how I had done through the years, and it turns out I haven't done too badly keeping up without even trying. (Hadn't really pursued the list much in the last half-decade, and I never really started re-trying again with any amount of focus since the certified autograph boom, either. This could be fun.)
My birthday list is one that includes some big names — Albert Pujols, Darryl Strawberry, Jim Thome, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and even a guy named Nick Swisher. (Who? My favorite player today.) Surprisingly, I have a few of those biggest ones but not all. It's also a list that includes some obscure players, guys who aren't likely to have many — if any — certified autos: Mark Brouhard, Larry Herndon, Harry Spilman, Tony Eusebio and the esteemed Benito Santiago for starters.
In all, through years of collecting since the project began and went on hiatus, I own roughly 20 of the players on the list, and it was fun updating my list by checking out the recent years via retrosheet.org. Interestingly, I met two of the players — Lance Berkman and Chris Burke — on the same day in the same season before they went on to both homer that year.
It's a collecting challenge I made to myself years ago that I'll perhaps get around to finishing soon once I really re-start the engines on the project. It will be much easier today — well, unless some big names go yard in today's Detroit-Oakland or San Francisco-Cincinnati games — with online searches that make buying cards as easy as looking up box scores (the click of a mouse).
I'll perhaps get them all sorted together and re-start the project again soon, depending on how today goes. But, if not, I always have until next year to make the big push before the list potentially grows once again.
Either way, though, I'm still not touching those 1987 Topps cards.

happy 36th birthday!
I have one oddly specific collecting niche. I collect single signed, sweetspot baseballs from members of the All-Century Team. The balls must be PSA/DNA or JSA certified and on an official NL or AL ball (whichever league I felt like the player was best known in the event they played in both (Griffey, Jr., Ryan, etc)). Autographs can not be accompanied by an inscription of any kind and where a player's autograph has changed or degraded over time, I tried to pick-up an earlier version (Ripken, Jr. and Musial being examples of the former and the latter).
Being specific (perhaps overly) in my focus was a way of making the search for these items more fun/challenging and also served to narrow what can easily turn into a never-ending pursuit. My niche provides clear confines for my collection. I currently have 20 of the 30 players selected for inclusion on the All-Century Team and I am saving to add a Babe Ruth next.
I collect the last topps brand (either topps, bowman) card of every player. So far I have a collection of over 11,000 individual cards.
Oh, I have a Benito Santiago certified autograph card.
One birthday collection would be my line up card collection. It's only two years in, but ever since I discovered that the MLB started selling game-used line up cards I've been able to find the Astros game from that day. Since there is only one per year we'll see how long I can keep it up -
Happy Birthday Chris. Very cool idea for a collection. Thanks for sharing!
Was delighted to log on and find a picture of George Foster. I met him and got an autographed ball at Spring Training in Arizona. I was amazed and saddened to learn that my 20-something co-workers, who are sports fans, had never heard of George.
Happy birthday Chris!
I collect mostly Yankees and Hall of Famers! Just this past year I began focusing on specific seasons of Yankees in Graded sets and also ungraded sets. I have also followed up with collecting the autographs of those players on those teams. I have 1980 Yankee Poster depicting the Stadium of old as a medieval Arena and the Yankees as Knights set to joust their opponents with this I have collected Yankee autos that played for the team pre 1980, I also Have a Yankee Club House restaurant Menu from the 1973 Season, that two is signed by Yankees 1973 and before. I also Seek out at least one card with the cut autos I have for both Yankees or Hall of Famers. Not repros unless it is out of my price range.
I am currently becoming a Tyler Hansbrough super collector. He is from my hometown. As far as another set I'm working on are the RC's of all the guys that played high school basketball at the famed Oak Hill Academy. There are close to 30 guys who played for Coach Smith and have gone on the the NBA. Some big names too. Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Josh Smith, Brandon Jennings just to name a few.
Wow; that's a lot longer list than I expected.
This story is making me wonder (with all due respect) what my oddest collection format is. 8|
I collect:
Rookie cards (who doesn't),
Final year as a player cards,
my hometown's (Balt., Hou, Tex) League ROYs, MVPs, and Cy Young winners, WS MVPs,
unique combo award winners, i.e. MVP & ROY in the same year (that would be only Fred Lynn & Ichiro, BTW),
unique achievement cards, i.e. Triple Crown winners (that would be the Mick, Frank Robinson, Yaz, and now Miguel Cabrera)
players that had a phenomenal Stat year, like Bob Welch's 27 Wins in 1990,
batting champion cards,
and (Topps) cards with emblems, like the Rookie Cup, and an All-Star stamp/banner.
That last one on my list is as odd as it gets for me, and definitely limits my collection as I never see All-Star logos of any kind on Topps' cards.
However, this makes me think of my favorite card, the 1977 Mark Fidrych.
Anyone care to guess why that card is my favorite?
I have 2 main collections,
#1 is my STRONG collection, any card of anyone with the last name of Strong (its my last name), I am about 90% done. I also collect game worn jerseys of players with the last name Strong, its a collection I cant wait to give to my son someday.
Look up your last name and see whats out there (most names there is not a lot), its a collection you cant get sick of, its your name!!!!
#2 is my LOCAL collection, all cards of anyone who was born, raised, or lived in my home town, there is about 100 people with cards, many have very few cards, others like Jon Jones and Mike Dunham have a lot. Its another collection to pass on someday.
It's not my collection, but there is a guy who collects SPx and SP Authentic cards serial numbered 264/xxx. His birthday is 02-26-64.
If you ever have time to look up his collection, it's incredible, as he has almost 300 SPx cards with that particular number. His name is Bob, and his collection is ridiculous.

Tranmere manager Rob Edwards has signed former Rotherham forward Kayode Odejayi on a one-year deal.
The 32-year-old Nigerian was a free agent after his release from Rotherham and he becomes Edwards' fourth summer signing.
Edwards told the club's official website: "I'm really pleased Kayode has agreed to sign for us.
"He's a powerful, aggressive striker who causes defenders lots of problems. He's good in the air, has a burst of speed and will give us some real strength in attack."
Last season the powerful striker scored eight goals in 33 appearances during his loan spell at Accrington and he has made over 500 professional appearances with eight different clubs since starting out with Bristol City in 1999.
Edwards added: "He'll bring our squad lots of experience which will be important to us next season."

Cycling may not be the preferred mode of transport in Jayanagar, even if it does have dedicated cycle lanes, but the folks at Bums on the Saddle, a bike shop in 4th Block, have helped make the transition to greener commuting easier.
"The idea is not to sell a bike but to sell the idea of cycling," says former IT employee Rohan Kini, one of the two cycling enthusiasts that set up the store in 2006.
Bums on the Saddle, or BOTS, as Rohan calls it, sells imported bicycles, the accessories needed to maintain them, cycling apparel and other gear.
But the more interesting part of the job, says Rohan, is the interaction with customers, and witnessing the impact that cycling has on their lives.
'A little geeky'
Running a bike store is exciting, hands-on and helps him connect with people, he says with enthusiasm. "It can be a little geeky," he points out, and even though it's practically a 24-hour job, the pros far outweigh the cons.
The shop's customers are largely young working professionals, and BOTS conducts workshops at companies, encouraging more people to commute by cycle. They also train owners to be able to maintain their own cycles, enabling them to become self-reliant.
Night riders
BOTS has a number of activities set up for Bangalore's cyclists. There's the Sunday morning ride, the Wednesday night ride, and the monthly race.
Although they're attended by riders of different abilities, it's serious business: the courses can be around 30 km or 40 km long, and the number of participants range from one to 14.
All of those who work at BOTS are passionate about cycling themselves, and Suraj L.N. Swami, who leads the night ride, recalls the time when he was the only person that showed up. "I went ahead with it anyway," he laughs.
(Bums on the Saddle is at 301/C, 35th Cross, 9th Main, 4th Block. Visit www.bumsonthesaddle. com)
