From Start to Finish: Virginia Tech Swimming and Diving Facility Uses Vaddio Cameras
In 2010 the Virginia Tech swimming and diving teams moved their home to the Christiansburg Aquatic Center after decades at the pool inside War Memorial Gym on Virginia Tech campus. Built in cooperation with the town of Christiansburg and Virginia Tech, the 64,000 square-foot facility features a full-size, 50-meter Olympic-style pool â double the length of the pool at their previous location. The facility also features two 1-meter springboards, two 3-meter springboards and a diving tower with 5-, 7.5- and 10-meter platforms. The venue can seat up to 1,000 spectators that can watch the swim meets on the massive scoreboard and video board adjacent to the diving boards and platforms.
In the winter of 2012, the facility drew conference-wide recognition by serving as the hosts for the ACC Championships. âWe wanted to make sure we were capable of streaming live SD video to the cable networks, showing live HD video on our video board and still be able to make DVD copies for our participants,â explained Kevin Hicks, Director of Broadcasting and Visual Media at Virginia Tech.
After bringing in Jim Hogan of IES Commercial, Inc. â and a year of convincing, planning and designing â they installed an HD/SD Vaddio camera system. âOriginally they wanted to put in a broadcast cable system for TV coverage,â says Hogan. âWhen it came down to it they thought, âWhy put in all this expensive broadcast equipment when it might only be used once in a while â and they wanted the ability to do streaming with multiple cameras. We suggested the Vaddio systems.â
Four WallVIEW HD-19 cameras and a WallVIEW 100 camera are placed throughout the pool area. The original locations of the HD-19 cameras had to be altered in order to capture the height of both the low and high diving boards. One HD-19 is placed about 20 feet above the stands on the second level of the pool deck. Another camera is placed below the pool deck for shooting straight at the swimmers as they swim toward the camera, while an additional two HD-19 cameras capture both the stands and the diving platforms. The standard definition WallVIEW 100 sits about 20 feet above the pool deck for capturing the scoreboard showing swim meet results.
âThere was concern about how the cameras would react to the moisture, as the swimming pool is a closed room,â stated Hogan. âWe originally priced it with environmental closures, but due to budgetary constraints and having to run electricity, we ended up not doing so. But it ended up not being an issue at all. Even though the cameras are around an indoor swimming facility, its pretty dry, so the Vaddio cameras ended up working well in the conditions.â
The cameras are controlled by a ProductionVIEW HD MV camera control switcher/mixer with a built-in multiviewer. The system works really smoothly explains Hicks. âWe were able to easily bring in and mix both the standard definition and high definition outputs from the different cameras. Streaming the video in SD and displaying the HD video on the video board was really big for us.â
Hicks is streaming with Windows Media Encoder and a deal with CBS Sports Interactive hosts the videos online.
âWeâve been very happy with the final products. What was kind of neat about it was the fact that Kevin wasnât really interested in Vaddio, being a broadcast guy. He kept making these other suggestions and I said, âCome on man, give it a chance and check it out â and he is so happy and tickled to death with the way it works.â

Book Review: Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett
This is a tough book to review, because I generally respect the author, but there are many things I don't like about the book. Let's start with the main one: My friend Alice Schroeder came to speak to the Baltimore CFA Society early in November. It was a great talk, and afterward, I took her […]

IBM Tops Apple and Microsoft to Take U.S. Patent Crown
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- IBM (IBM) received the most U.S. patents in 2013, according to data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and IFI Claims patent service, as the hardware, software and services giant continued its aggressive pace of innovation.
The tech bellwether was comfortably ahead of Samsung, Canon, Sony (SNE) and Microsoft (MSFT), which leapfrogged Panasonic to take fifth place. Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) climbed to 11th and 13th place, respectively, in the annual list.
This is the 21st consecutive year that IBM has led the ranking of U.S. patent leaders. The Armonk, N.Y.-based company was awarded 6,809 patents in 2013, up slightly from 6,478 in 2012. Here's the top 10 list of 2013 patent winners:
- Samsung 4,676
- Canon 3,825
- Sony 3,098
- Microsoft 2,660
- Panasonic 2,601
- Toshiba 2,416
- Hon Hai 2,279
- Qualcomm 2,103
- LG Electronics 1,947
There were plenty of other tech heavyweights on the list. Google was awarded 1,851 patents in 2013, a sharp increase from 1,151 in 2012, when it took 21st place on the list. Apple, with 1,775 patents, has also increased its pace of innovation from 2012, when it was awarded 1,136 patents and held 22nd place.
Intel (INTC), HP (HPQ) and BlackBerry (BBRY) were in 18th, 19th and 20th place, respectively, in the 2013 list. Chipmaker Intel was awarded 1,455 patents, up from 1,290 last year. HP, which is in the throes of a massive corporate overhaul, brought in 1,360 patents, down slightly from 1,394 in 2012. Embattled smartphone maker BlackBerry received 1,334 patents in 2013, a significant increase from 986 in 2012, when it operated as Research In Motion. A number of IBM's 2013 patents are in a technology area the company describes as "cognitive computing" in which computers can learn and interact with people in a natural fashion. One of the best examples of this is IBM's Watson supercomputer, which made a headline-grabbing debut on quiz show Jeopardy in 2011. Last week, at a glitzy New York event, Big Blue announced a $1 billion investment in Watson and a business unit devoted solely to its supercomputer technology. Based at 51 Astor Place in New York's "Silicon Alley" tech hub, the Watson Group will focus on cloud-based innovation and also will help customers cope with the challenge of big data. Big data refers to the management of vast quantities of unstructured data, or information that is outside the realm of traditional databases. Examples include email messages, PowerPoint presentations, audio, video and social media information. IBM shares rose 0.27% to $184.67 during Wednesday trading. -- Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >Contact by Email.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Good Reads: Al Qaeda's No. 2, Africa hearts Qaddafi, and an American (jailed) in Pakistan
(Read article summary)Today's top stories feature deeper looks at Al Qaeda's No. 2 man, why Africa still loves Qaddafi, and what Alabama has to do with Pakistan.
Ismail Zetouny/Reuters/File
Here's what Monitor editors liked from the news feed of the past 24 hours – good, meaty, well-reported stories with strong analysis on issues that matter: Why does the killing of Al Qaeda's No. 2 man signal a turning point for the terror group? Why does Africa still "heart" Qaddafi? (Hint: money). And what's a nice guy from Alabama doing in a Pakistani prison?
Even after a decade, the war on terror continues to draw attention, and Brian Fishman in Foreign Policy argues that the reported killing of Al Qaeda's No. 2 man, Atiyah abd al-Rahman al-Libi, may be a turning point in bringing down the terror network. Why? Because Atiyah was the communications guy, the one who could slip across borders and share information with operatives as far as North Africa. All the media's attention may focus on Osama bin Laden's right-hand man, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, but at a time when information is crucial for survival, Atiyah was the man with the real power.
"Atiyah's death, if confirmed, will hasten the demise of al-Qaeda as a functional covert network. Although one must assume Atiyah prepared for his death, his contacts must nevertheless now wonder what U.S. intelligence personnel knew his activities and communications that might now put them at risk. In a network reliant on trust, that suspicion creates a host of challenges for regenerating Atiyah's functional role. The door is open for intelligence agencies to play all sorts of tricks on folks in Atiyah's network -- and his contacts must know that."

Today's storms brought much more lightning to the region compared to yesterdays storms. More instability and moisture mixed with daytime heating created perfect conditions for afternoon thunderstorms. A good amount of lightning was recorded in Modoc, Eastern Siskiyou, Lake, Klamath, and Douglas Counties. Storms were looking to push into Jackson and Josephine, however a large cloud deck moved in overhead and limited daytime heating in these areas. Therefore, the chance for thunderstorms fell rapidly. It is not likely that there will be any more development overnight.
Still, each afternoon will bring an elevated risk for all locations to see thunderstorms. Therefore a RED FLAG WARNING is still in effect for all counties until Tuesday. The only exception is Del Norte, who will likely not see activity past Monday afternoon so the warning will expire then. A weak cold front will swing in early Wednesday morning and allow for temperatures to cool a bit and also bring some showers to the coast. After that, high pressure moves in and we clear up at least until next weekend.
Thanks for logging on and have a great week!

Happy Anzac Day to all the Aussies and Kiwis, hope that you are having a restful day today, and thinking, as we are, of our servicemen, living and passed away. Great gratitude from this household.
Ah, where shall we wander to? Where do you fancy?
Well, first of all, lets look at Southern Queensland and then come with me on a waft through South East Asia. Later on I've got the fruits of my early research into Responsible Tourism – much to learn!
Big Skies In Southern Queensland Country
We've never been in inland Queensland, but here's a video that makes me want to pack up six swags and head straight there.
If you've got two spare minutes, enjoy this visit in the company of a true Aussie bush lover, Russell Jackson.
(If you haven't got two minutes… time to take stock of your life!)
Queensland Holidays Youtube channel is here, HOURS of armchair travelling to be enjoyed.
Ankor Wat and Cambodia With Kids
Michelle is a mum of three and expat American who lives in Penang, Malaysia. She blogs at Malaysian Meanders and her posts are always very comprehensive and family-focused.
When I read her post on visiting Ankor Wat and Siem reap, I felt I had all the info I need to pick up the phone and book the whole trip. Love posts like that! They are SO much more useful to families than the too-general articles we often read in newspapers and magazine. Read the post here.
LEGOLAND Malaysia
Did you know there's a LEGOLAND in Malaysia. It opened in 2012 and is in Johor, easily reached from Singapore or Kuala Lumper. Easier to visit than the one my kids have asked to visit in England.
I'd love to see the Peronas Tower built in Lego. The park looks huge and good fun. Although theme parks are not my fave places, I know the kids would love a visit, especially having just seen the LEGO Movie. The park currently has activities based around the movie going on. Doesn't that water park look fun. We love a good water park.
The Beachfront Club
Here's a handy website for travellers who want to be sure that if a hotel says it's on the beach then it is genuinely beach front.
The Beachfront Club is really a travel booking site. Absolute 100% beachfront hotels of all types can join the site and upload their information and photos. You can then book the hotels via Agoda or Expedia.
Put 'family' into the search box at the top and many options come up, a delight to browse around.
I don't like some of the design elements of this website but find it a marvellous place to feast my eyes on tropical beaches and to indulge in some fantasty travel planning. Top of my list today being the Andaman White Beach Resort, Phuket. Are you coming?
Learning About … Responsible Tourism
I've always had a belief in doing the right thing when on the road: dress modestly when appropriate, be polite, take care of the environment, try to stay at places where staff are treated well. I thought I'd start a personal project to research more about ethical and responsible travel and to share what I learn with readers.
So I've started off by reading around these websites:
International Centre For Responsible Tourism
Read their Reasons For Responsible Tourism page here.
and the Australian representative is at:
International Centre for Responsible Tourism Australia
The ICRT – Australia's aim is to help destinations, tourism enterprises and communities prosper by applying sustainable principles through responsible actions, in other words creating better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit.
That's my wander around the world for this week. All my escapist needs have been soothed.
Have you read any good stuff you'd like to share?
Do you try to be a responsible holiday maker?

Documentary on papyrus fragment purporting that Jesus had wife delayed amid doubts on veracity
BOSTON – The premiere of the Smithsonian Channel's documentary on a papyrus fragment that purports to show Jesus referring to his wife has been delayed until further tests can be done amid doubts about the fragment's authenticity.
Research about the fourth-century papyrus fragment was released last month by Harvard Divinity School professor Karen King. She said it didn't prove Jesus was married, only that some early Christians believed he was.
The text, written in Coptic, contains a dialogue in which Jesus refers to "my wife," whom he identifies as Mary. He also says she can be his disciple....

New York's ethics commission reports $210 million were spent on state and local lobbying last year.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics, in its 2013 annual report, says its enforcement cases resulted in more than $450,000 in penalties.
The report shows a record $191 million was spent last year on compensation for in-house and retained lobbyists.
Top spenders on lobbying included tobacco companies, teachers' unions and hospital groups.
The commission publishes the 2013 data on its website.
It has also posted financial disclosure statements by New York's four statewide elected officials and state legislators, including the values of their investments and outside incomes.

Culture in World Politics A major aim of this text is to highlight alternative ways of thinking about the effects of culture on international relations, and to stimulate discussion on the relative merit of these various approaches. The book also shows the relevance of cultural studies for understanding two areas often assumed to be free of cultural influences: international violence, and the international political economy. The contributions not only include theoretical discussions, but also show how empirical analyses can be undertaken with the help of cultural theories.

Yeah IV8888 and Barry did a good job. The HiPoint torture test was good. But I'm still gonna baby my Mosin.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. - Sir Winston Churchill Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. - General George S. Patton Sr.
I'm gonna stop you right there, you just said an AR-15 is a high-powered rifle. It is obvious you don't know anything about guns and I shall ignore anything you say from this point on.
At least I won't be as reluctant to shoot hot loads from it.
I have two 91/30's, a 1930 & a 1938, and would never think of mistreating them, both are in excellent condition with all matching numbers.

Yep, I'll keep babying mine too. It just nice to know that it is very unlikely that it will blow up on you. Even with a hot load.
Mine are 70+ years old, have probably fought in a war and were stored in cosmoline for decades. Thats enough testing for me.

I've got a 1925 Hex Izzy. All matching serials. Good rifling. A lot of fun to shoot. Good to know it would take the pounding it will never get.
It still aint no Arisaka.....

5 out of 5 stars
A Smile...the Best Beauty Remedy - New York
5 out of 5 stars
8 Years, and About That Many Procedures! - New York, NY
Dr. Schwartz has a kind and calm demeanor, and can easily put an anxious patient at ease. He has children of his own, and his patience with my children has never been in question. Likewise, I have never felt rushed through an office visit, and my comfort level with his medical procedures has always been sound. Thank you, Dr. Schwartz!
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reduction
43-year-old Mom with Two Kids Needing a Tune-up! - New York, NY
Dr. Schwartz is a top-notch cosmetic surgeon. First, he put me totally at ease. He has an excellent, compassionate bedside manner and he really takes the time to listen to and get to know his patients. After my consultation with him I knew I found the right person. He has 17 years of experience, and it really shows when looking at my results. I can honestly say I have the breasts of a 30-year old and he has taken years off of my face by the work on my eyes, but everything has been done with subtlety. He understood I was not looking to be a new person, but just to improve what I had. His staff is also very professional and I have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. I am grateful and have no regrets. I wish I had done these two things sooner. I know whenever I see all 5 stars I am dubious, but this is an accurate reflection of my experience.
5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck -New York, NY
Two thumbs up for Dr. Schwartz and his staff. He is professional, skilled, and caring. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about this procedure.
5 out of 5 stars Arm Lift
Arm Lift - Manhattan, NY
Dr. Schwartz was wonderful from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a kinder, caring and skilled doctor. He spent tons of time answering my questions and was really there for me every step of the way. The results are great and I am wearing short sleeve shirts this summer!
5 out of 5 stars Liposuction
I could not get rid of the extra flab on my stomach and hips - Great Liposuction Results - New York, NY
Dr. Schwartz is the epitome of what a good doctor should be. He answered all my questions, gave me an honest idea of what to expect and he was right on. He is smart, funny, and was around whenever I needed him, including after his office was closed. I would recommend him to anyone looking to do this procedure. You will get a great result and have your hand held throughout!
5 out of 5 stars
Comapssionate! - New York, NY
The breast surgeon. I was referred to Dr. Schwartz for my breast reconstruction following a mastectomy. To be honest, I was so nervous that I didn't hear a word he said on that first visit. But I felt his compassion, and I knew he was the right person, the best surgeon. Dr. Schwartz balanced his time with me between being a good listener and being able to impart concise and valuable information. He shared his considerable knowledge with me, giving options and alternatives, yet demonstrated that he is there to make his patients feel better, look better. His work was exceptional. The healing was quick. It was very comforting to have him so concerned and involved with my follow up care. The visits back to his office were always a positive experience, where he again seemed genuinely concerned about my progress. I would recommend Dr. Schwartz to anyone looking for an excellent plastic surgeon.
5 out of 5 stars
Dr. Schwartz is More Than a Doctor...- New York, NY
From my Oncologist and Breast Surgeon. Dr. Schwartz is, without a doubt, the most compassionate doctor I have ever seen. Having been diagnosed twice with breast cancer was terrible. Facing numerous sugical procedures and treatments terrrified me. Dr. Schwartz and his team are always there to answer my questions (day or night) and hold my hand through it all. His expertise and caring nature clearly sets him apart from the rest. He has helped me, and my family, cope through very challenging times. And most importantly, he helped me to feel normal again.
5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Thrilled with Surgeries After Weight Loss! - New York, NY
Dr. Schwartz and his staff earn all these 5 star ratings. My experiences with him an his office have been consistently exceptional! I met with several prominent plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and for me, there was no contest. Dr. Schwartz was the most highly recommended by his peers, several other NYP- Cornell doctors I spoke with recommended him personally, without reservation. Dr. Schwartz is the kindest, smartest, most talented, and most ethical doctor I have met. His skill as a surgeon is matched only by his compassion and genuine integrity as a human being. I literally trust him with my life. I also have immense appreciation for the talent, kindness and organization of his staff, both in the office and in the OR. The people who work with Dr. Schwartz are as helpful, available, knowledgeable...truly excellent. Fees are an important part of making decisions about aesthetic surgery, and I absolutely felt that Dr. Schwartz' fees were in line with his experience, expertise and location. I wanted to see a top notch surgeon, and I felt his fees were fair. Dr. Schwartz spent as much time as I needed to individualize each procedure, he answered every question I had, and was available in every possible way I needed him to be. I truly can't say enough about his amazing clinical judgement, his decision making was excellent. And his skill is incredible. I wish every one could have the opportunity to work with Mark Schwartz, MD. He has literally changed my life.
5 out of 5 stars
It couldn't have been easier. - Great Experience - New York, NY
Wonderful Experience. It couldn't have been easier. Dr. Schwartz was recommended to me by a friend. I was really nervous about getting a mole removed on nose. Dr. Schwartz made the experience really easy. He is personable, kind, and smart. It was almost painless, and there is practically no scar. I would not hesitate to go back to his office for something else in the future and recommend him to anyone out there looking to have something done.

Track Without Slots? There's No Hope for You
Prediction from a few racing industry executives: If you're a racetrack without slot machines, you're doomed.
Prediction from a few racing industry executives: If you're a racetrack without slot machines, you're doomed.
An executive with RaceTech, the company that produces Instant Racing machines, said the product has held up well against electronic games of skill at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas.
Portland Meadows plans to install Instant Racing machines during its current 2006-07 meet under a plan recently approved by the Oregon Racing Commission.
RaceTech, the company behind Instant Racing, expects to top the $100-million mark in total handle sometime this year. Instant Racing--basically pari-mutuel video lottery terminals--went online early in 2000 at Oaklawn Park and Southland Greyhound Park in Arkansas.
Instant Racing, a pari-mutuel gaming system currently available at wagering outlets in Arkansas and Wyoming, will be expanded in those two states early this year.
Brainstorming for ideas to celebrate Oaklawn Park's centennial in 2004, track owner Charles Cella turned into the $6-million man late last summer. At the ripe old age of 67, Cella stunned his colleagues when he said he was going to offer a $5-million bonus to any 3-year-old that swept Oaklawn's Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby (gr. II) and then won the Kentucky Derby (gr. I). He also raised the purse of the Arkansas Derby to $1 million.
Instant Racing, launched in Arkansas three years ago, was approved for use at pari-mutuel facilities by the Wyoming Racing Commission July 11. The devices, which resemble video lottery terminals but are linked to pari-mutuel pools, will first be installed at an off-track betting parlor operated by Wyoming Downs.
Instant Racing, a pari-mutuel video lottery game currently offered at racetracks in Arkansas, has been approved by the Oregon Racing Commission for use at the state's racetracks. Oregon is the second state to approve the devices.

Philips HTL5120
The Philips HTL5120's distinctive design, low price, and immersive sound make it a tempting budget sound bar pick, although its sound quality isn't a good match for purists.
Toshiba SBX4250
Toshiba's SBX4250 is a sound bar with a good set of features at a decent price, but its sound quality and design are merely adequate.
Vizio SB4021M-A1
The Vizio SB4021M-A1 hits a nice blend of features, design, and performance for its price, but better sound bars are coming in a few months.
Bose Solo TV sound system
Although its sonic talents are comparatively modest, the Bose Solo is an exceedingly handsome and easy-to-use sound bar.
Vizio VHT215
The Vizio VHT215 looks sleek, sounds good, and is packed with inputs, making it one of the top budget sound bar choices.
Pricing not available
The JBL SB 300 is a plus-size sound bar with excellent sound quality, but its unconventional style won't please everyone.
Boston Acoustics TVee Model 25
The Boston Acoustic TVee Model 25 is a competent, but unexceptional, sound bar with some design flaws that make it not quite worth its premium price tag.
Vizio VHT510
While we'd prefer more input options, the Vizio VHT510 adds rear speakers to the traditional sound bar design, resulting in outstanding sound quality at a very affordable price.
Harman/Kardon SB 16
The Harman Kardon SB 16 features a premium price tag and some remote control quirks, but its excellent sound quality and exterior design make it worth the extra cash.
Samsung HW-C451
The Samsung HW-C451 is an exceedingly thin sound bar home theater system that sounds surprisingly good with movies, but lacks HDMI connectivity.

Wilson 13" Tempest Series Fastpitch Glove
Worth the extra money
Bought it for my wife and she loved it. Thought it would be too big for her small hands but fits good and feels great she says. Got it steamed at dicks and now she's able to close it with ease. Great glove.
February 17, 2014
pro glove
We got this glove for my wife to play co-ed softball and she's never put a glove on before. Had Dick's put it in the break in machine and my wife was snatching balls like she'd been playing all her life!! Great glove
August 9, 2013
Great Glove
We got this glove for my daughter. Her current glove is almost too small, and we thought to get a size up and I could break it in for her. I'm not sure if I want to give to back.
This glove was almost ready to go, we rubbed oil on it, wrapped a head band around with a ball inside for a few days. We are old school and didn't go with the steamer option. (not for an additional $15, that would have been a rip off with this glove)
It is quality made, the leather is nice and soft. I recommend to make sure that you oil it and take care of the leather, so it lasts a long time, because this will become your favorite glove!
May 21, 2013
Batting it up !
Nice people . We were not able to find this glove anywhere else. There was a man that asked if we needed help finding something . We told him what we were looking for and he said they did not have any such glove. Well he called over a younger man who was stocking shelf's and he went right to the product we were looking for.

You get what you pay for. This glove cost a little more than I wanted to spend on my 9 year old daughter but it does seem to be a quality glove that should last many years

good mitt for the money
I actually recently returned this item. It was a great mitt, broken in already. The mitt was too big for my daughter. Great mitt, soft, nice colors, perfect foer breast cancer awareness.

Love it!
I bought this to play some pick up softball games so would need to use it fairly quickly. I just put a ball in it, wrapped it shut with a zip tie and I was ready to go the next week! I could have about used it right out of the store but had some time to work it in. Great glove! And of course I love the black with pink laces :)

Good glove for the Girlfriend
My girlfriend just started playing in a weekly casual softball game that I organize, so I thought I'd get her a glove. This one ended up being perfect for her - the only gripe that she had was that the pink laces got really dark when I broke it in & oiled it.

Gholson: Rodriguez belongs to us; he always will
Pudge Rodriguez has always been one of my favorite Rangers.
Although he played for five other teams over the past eight seasons, Pudge never looked quite right in those other uniforms.
He always belonged to us.
He began his career in old Arlington Stadium.
He caught Nolan Ryan.
He was behind the plate when Kenny Rogers threw his perfect game.
He helped Texas make the playoffs for the first time back in 1996, then again in 1998 and 1999.
So it seems so fitting that Pudge has decided to officially announce his retirement Monday night back at the Ballpark in Arlington, surrounded by the fans who love him and appreciate him the most.
Pudge came to us as a wide-eyed 19-year-old kid back in 1991.
He is saying goodbye as a 40-year-old man destined for the Hall of Fame.
In my humble opinion, he is the third best hind catcher in the history of the game.
Johnny Bench is 1. Yogi Berra is 2. Pudge is 3.
You can argue for Roy Campanella or Carlton Fisk or Gary Carter or someone else, but Pudge's .296 career batting average is better than all of the above, and he could shoot down base-stealers like no one I have ever seen.
I can still see Pudge, crouched behind the plate, whipping a throw to first base to pick off a runner.
It was a thing of beauty and part of the reason he leaves baseball with 13 Gold Gloves.
Jose Canseco somewhat scarred the 14-time All-Star career when he wrote in his book that he had personally injected him with steroids. And, of course, Pudge was a teammate of Rafael Palmeiro, who will probably be denied a spot in the Hall of Fame because of his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Our eyes don't lie. There was a time in his career when Pudge's physique bulked up drastically.
But, as far as I know, he never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and was wise enough to keep his mouth shut during all the investigations.
Innocent until proven guilty — and there is no proof of steroid guilt.
Also, Pudge had his best season in 1999, six years after Canseco's final year in Texas.
He was the American League MVP that year after hitting .332 with 35 home runs, 113 RBIs and 25 stolen bases — all personal bests. And as always, he was brilliant behind the plate.
There will be both tears and cheers on Monday night when Pudge hangs up his mitt here in Texas.
Next stop, Cooperstown.

Hm...I would think the rotation works well...Sometimes I believe there are a few to many stuns, but, it is how you play the game. I did have a question for Riot though... Have you guys ever thought to maybe do a free skin rotation too? Perhaps do one free skin a week or something? Maybe that will help out on players buying the skins if they can afford it...I would buy a few for the champions I like, for example, Jarvan and his Dragon Slayer Skin, If I had the riot points or the cash to buy Riot Points I would definately buy it. It is just a suggestion in a question...Over all though, I love the Champion rotation...I would like to see a bit more of the champs though, Vladimir, Akali, Moakai...Just some champions I don't have that I would like to try out. Thanks Riot, keep up the good work. Tallus P.S. No Nocturne post this time lol...
vlad,pantheon,shaco these guys are never free. i guess they are too cool to be free. =P
765 Pro Takane
will there be any new female champions? cause there haven't been any new female champions only male
Lion Ra
Perhaps a champion voting system? Where people vote on the champs they want to be free and riot picks out the most voted champs?
I feel the whole "let the players help us choose" thing is ok but would be better if you just did rotations based off of how heroes interact like only have 1 or 2 heroes with stun on one rotation because having a team with 3 stunners is SO annoying. Also having a new champion be free the first week it comes out is the best way yes it's like a preview but movies do the same thing don't they? give PREVIEWS of the movies so that people will see if they like them or not. Making the Released Champ free is also a good way to see what's wrong with them, do they have a glitch? Do they have an OP skill that just rips other champs apart? the only problem with making them free is that people will bicker over who gets to use them each game.
would like to see akali and karth and some of the champs we never see free next week. im liking the fact that we got to irelia and kog maw this week tho

Meet the Man Who Built a 30-Story Building in 15 Days
Zhang Yue, founder and chairman of Broad Sustainable Building, is not a particularly humble man. A humble man would not have erected, on his firm's corporate campus in the Chinese province of Hunan, a classical palace and a 130-foot replica of an Egyptian pyramid. A humble man, for that matter, would not have redirected Broad from its core business—manufacturing industrial air-conditioning units—to invent a new method of building skyscrapers. And a humble man certainly wouldn't be putting up those skyscrapers at a pace never achieved in history.
In late 2011, Broad built a 30-story building in 15 days; now it intends to use similar methods to erect the world's tallest building in just seven months. Perhaps you're already familiar with Zhang's handiwork: On New Year's Day 2012, Broad released a time-lapse video of its 30-story achievement that quickly went viral: construction workers buzzing around like gnats while a clock in the corner of the screen marks the time. In just 360 hours, a 328-foot-tall tower called the T30 rises from an empty site to overlook Hunan's Xiang River. At the end of the video, the camera spirals around the building overhead as the Broad logo appears on the screen: a lowercase b that wraps around itself in an imitation of the @ symbol.
In person, Zhang himself seems to move at an impossible time-lapse clip. He's almost always surrounded by Broad employees, all wearing identical white button-front shirts (the uniform for the corporate office) and all offering papers for him to review or sign. When I arrive, he's issuing a steady barrage of instructions while spinning himself around in his office chair. When he's finally ready to start the interview, he abruptly stops spinning and, without looking at me, barks out, "Begin!"
The pace of Broad Sustainable Building's development is driven entirely by this one man. Broad Town, the sprawling headquarters, is completely Zhang's creation. Employees call him not "the chairman" or "our chairman" but "my chairman." To become an employee of Broad, you must recite a life manual penned by Zhang, guidelines that include tips on saving energy, brushing your teeth, and having children. All prospective employees must be able, over a two-day period, to run 7.5 miles. You can eat for free at Broad Town cafeterias unless someone catches you wasting food, at which point you're not merely fined but publicly shamed.
So far, Broad has built 16 structures in China, plus another in Cancun. They are fabricated in sections at two factories in Hunan, roughly an hour's drive from Broad Town. From there the modules—complete with preinstalled ducts and plumbing for electricity, water, and other infrastructure—are shipped to the site and assembled like Legos. The company is in the process of franchising this technology to partners in India, Brazil, and Russia. What it's selling is the world's first standardized skyscraper, and with it, Zhang aims to turn Broad into the McDonald's of the sustainable building industry.
"Traditional construction is chaotic," he says. "We took construction and moved it into the factory." According to Zhang, his buildings will help solve the many problems of the construction industry. They will be safer, quicker, and cheaper to build. And they will have low energy consumption and CO2 emissions. When I ask Zhang why he decided to start a construction company, he corrects me. "It's not a construction company," he says. "It's a structural revolution."

These grilled steaks get another layer of flavor from a simple spice rub. Mix together garlic and mustard powder with salt and pepper, coat the rib steaks, and let them sit while the simple salad of green beans and cherry tomatoes is prepared. Grill the steaks, serve with the salad, and enjoy a summery peach pie for dessert.
- 1Combine the mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the steaks with a thin layer of the spice mixture, rubbing it in thoroughly. Let them sit at room temperature for 1 hour. (The rub should be almost completely absorbed by the meat, or it will burn when the steaks are grilled.) Meanwhile, make the salad.
For the salad:
- 1Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
- 2Place the shallot, lemon zest, and measured salt and pepper in a medium, nonreactive bowl and add the lemon juice. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until evenly combined. Set the dressing aside.
- 3Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to the prepared ice water bath. When the beans are chilled, drain again and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
- 4Place the beans, tomatoes, and parsley in a large bowl, pour in the dressing, and toss to coat thoroughly. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. Set aside at room temperature or refrigerate while you grill the steaks.
To grill the steaks:
- 1Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high (about 450°F to 550°F).
- 2When the grill is ready, rub the grates with a towel dipped in vegetable oil, place the steaks on the grates, and close the grill. Cook, undisturbed, until grill marks appear on the bottom and the steaks are lightly charred on the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip, close the grill, and cook until the steaks reach medium rare, about 4 minutes more. (To check for doneness, use your finger to press on the meat: It should be firm around the edges but still give in the center. You can also use an instant-read thermometer; it should register 115°F to 120°F for rare, 125°F to 130°F for medium rare.)
- 3Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the salad.
Beverage pairing: Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley. This recipe is a great excuse to break out a big, new-world red wine. Cab and steak were meant for each other, but because of the spice here, a ripe, jammy wine such as the Silverado works well.

WASHINGTON – More Americans signed contracts to purchase homes in April than the prior month. But the pace of buying is still weaker than last year, as higher prices and relatively tight supplies have limited sales.
The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 0.4 percent to 97.8 last month. The index remains 9.2 percent below its level a year ago.
Data for the Buffalo Niagara region is not yet available for April. But according to the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors, pending sales in March fell 2.7 percent to 947 and are down 1.3 percent for the year to date, to 2,271.
Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases. A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a signed contract and a completed sale. The index indicates that home buying has barely increased in May.
The gain in signed contracts partly reflects the slight decline in mortgage rates and the economic rebound from the brutal winter. But prices have risen by 12.4 percent year-over-year, according to Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index. That has put home ownership out of reach for a growing share of Americans who are stuck with stagnant incomes in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
The number of signed contracts increased in the Northeast and Midwest month-to-month.

Obama gets worst coverage, Perry gets best, according to Pew survey
It's an article of faith for many conservatives that the media is in Obama's corner. But according to a new Pew Research Center survey of media over the past five months, the president gets far worse coverage than any of his 2012 Republican would-be rivals.
The center surveyed stories in 1,500 news outlets and found that stories in them about President Obama were consistently negative, by a four-to-one margin. Only nine percent of the news coverage in those outlets over the last five months was positive; 34 percent was negative.
The tone of Obama's coverage on blogs, while still overwhelmingly negative, was slightly better for the president, with 14 percent rated as positive and 36 percent rated negative.
That's not to say that there was never evidence of a pro-Obama bias in the press.
In October of 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama got the most positive treatment in the news outlets surveyed, while coverage of then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) was more negative than positive. By May of 2008, coverage of Clinton and Obama had evened out, while coverage of McCain remained more unfavorable than favorable.
However, since shortly after President Obama took office, coverage of the president has largely focused on the economic crisis. While the president has been able to affect the amount of coverage he gets by scheduling speeches and events, the survey revealed that he has not been able to shift the tone of that coverage.
According to the survey, Republican presidential contenders have found a more mixed media reception.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry takes the prize for most positive coverage (although he has been in the race for the shortest period of time), with good reports outweighing negative ones 32 to 20 percent. However, in recent months, coverage has focused on Perry's stumbles and he has been eclipsed in positive coverage (and polls) by former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain.
Coverage of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has been evenly divided with 26 percent of it positive and 27 percent of it negative.
The 2012 Republican candidate with the most negative coverage was former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose coverage was 35 percent negative and 15 percent positive.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the figure most likely to complain about the press, actually got fairly good coverage throughout her flirtation with a 2012 presidential bid — 32 percent positive to 20 percent negative. Coverage of Palin on blogs, however, was far more negative.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul got the least coverage in the mainstream press and the most coverage on blogs.
A couple more interesting tidbits: Debates shift narratives about candidates more than poll numbers, and the tone of each candidate's coverage in "the blogosphere" has not changed over time regardless of news events or press.
Republicans head West, talk immigration
Cain: Some would pay more on 9-9-9

To Nintendo's surprise, Wii is hot with seniors
Retirement communities around the US are adding the video game to their rec rooms.
Birmingham, Ala.
Six seniors at the Sedgebrook retirement community gathered in the lounge after dinner as the holiday season was getting under way last year. The residents at the center, about 20 miles north of Chicago, were an unlikely test audience for the season's hottest toys. The plan: determine which toys to give the grandchildren for the holidays. The assumption was that they'd give their grandchildren the toys they approved.
But it didn't quite turn out that way.
The Nintendo Wii was so popular that the residents clamored for their own. Today, all of the Erickson chain retirement communities in the US own at least one Wii.
Other retirement communities and municipal senior centers in recent months have followed, many using wellness grants and public funds to pay for the video-game system. Nintendo scrambled to tap this demographic.
Proponents say the Wii offers a welcome reprieve from a sedentary lifestyle, and boosts hand-eye coordination among the over-60 set in a way that Bingo and Mahjong can't.
However, some find that when it comes to the Wii, which retails for about $250, money is less a problem than getting comfortable with the game. Many retirement communities that purchased the games are encouraging hesitant seniors with tournaments, trophies, and cash prizes. Some centers are placing their Wiis in high-traffic areas where seniors congregate, or for the bashful, behind a moveable privacy screen.
The idea to target senior citizens
Nintendo started pursuing the senior demographic in 2006 with the launch of its Nintendo DS "Brain Age" game, which the company says stimulates cognitive abilities. The idea to reach out to seniors originated in Japan, where the population is aging more rapidly than in the US, says George Harrison, senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications with Nintendo of America, Inc. "We had to approach people who were not previously video-gamers ," he says.

Sunday, May 13
Chase Field
Attendance: 35,430
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Brett Pill crushed a two-run home run and the Giants pounded out 14 hits to take a 7-3 victory over the Diamondbacks in the finale of a three-game set at Chase Field on Sunday.
Barry Zito (2-1) surrendered three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings in the start, while Gregor Blanco knocked in three runs and Melky Cabrera added an RBI and four hits for the Giants, who wrapped up a six-game road trip at 3-3.
"The boys did well," remarked Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "They had some good at bats. They didn't try to do too much up there. They kept the line moving and Pill got a hold of one to help out the cause."
Joe Saunders (2-3) was tagged for six runs on 10 hits and a walk over five frames for Arizona. Jason Kubel smacked three hits and tallied two RBI, but the Diamondbacks finished 1-5 on their six-game homestand.
"It was a tough week, a tough homestand," said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. "We didn't play well. We didn't have very good execution, anywhere, again."
Arizona pushed a run across in the second as Ryan Roberts worked a leadoff walk and moved to second two batters later on Saunders' bunt. A.J. Pollock then walked and Kubel followed with a single into right field, scoring Roberts for a 1-0 lead.
The Giants responded in their next at-bat as Brandon Crawford launched a one- out double before moving to third on Zito's ground out. Blanco then ripped a single into right, plating Crawford to knot the game, 1-1.
Joaquin Arias and Cabrera then followed with consecutive singles and Cabrera's brought in Blanco to give the Giants a 2-1 advantage.
San Francisco added two more in the fourth as Angel Pagan and Hector Sanchez smacked consecutive singles to start the frame. An intentional walk to Crawford loaded the bases and Blanco followed two batters later with a two-run single into right field to push the margin to 4-1.
The Diamondbacks cut into the lead in the fourth as Roberts smacked a leadoff single and Pollock scored him three batters later with a double into right field. Kubel then added a double of his own to plate Pollock, bringing Arizona within 4-3.
After Cabrera reached base on a leadoff single in the fifth, Pill belted the first pitch he saw into the seats in left to extend the lead to 6-3.
In the seventh, Cabrera and Pagan each singled around a Pill strikeout before Sanchez plated Cabrera with a single to give the Giants a four-run cushion.

Thanks for the welcome! Looks like some very interesting people here
Glad to be here. Thanks!
1900, whoo!
You're very welcome! And I've missed you too. Feeling pretty down these days, not happy to have to start all over again with this infant stuff, the diapers, the constant attention, the time-consumption, the mind-stultifyingness of it all, for a 4th time! But he is gorgeous. I've just been playing a lot of chess since that's all I have time for these days, a move here, a move there. Engages the mind, but not the heart. Still not gonna have much time for my favorite website (this one of course!), but I'll try to check in more frequently. So happy you are still around, what would I do without you? :-P
Thanks Steph S.
Your officially the first person from this site to say "hi", which I truly appreciate.
I guess I'll just explore a little here and figure out how this place works. Nice to be in touch with like minded people.
Thanks for the welcome! Sorry I'm late but I haven't been on the computer in a while. I love your pictures! I think of myself as a novice photographer/designer but your pictures are absolutely beautiful.
Such beautiful pictures of birds too. And you're rocking that biker chick look. :)
Hey Steph! The new year is going, thanks for asking. :) And you? I'm just too busy these days, the baby is crying as I'm writing this, just wanted to say hi back, and I miss talking to you! Thanks for the wonderful Pinky and the Brain pic!
Thanks so much, delighted to be a part.
Thanks for the welcome. You were right, you've got several interesting groups on here.
Thank you for welcoming me, Steph. I see that you are a birdwatcher. I live in Morro Bay, CA, which is a bird sanctuary. You can search for some of my photos of the Morro Bay estuary by visiting flickr.com. In the search box enter my name (Anthony V.
