Head of the economic committees Adnan Kassar, speaks during the Saudi-Lebanese Economic Forum in Beirut, Lebanon, Thursday, March 1, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: The head of the Economic Committees stressed during talks with President Michel Sleiman Thursday that Lebanon needed to maintain strong ties with Arab states, particularly in the Gulf, after the Gulf Cooperation Council warned that Beirut was failing at its disassociation policy.
"We discussed the issue of the warning from the Gulf Cooperation Council to Lebanon after the meeting between President Sleiman and [GCC] Secretary-General Dr. Abdel-Latif bin Rashid al-Zayani," Adnan Kassar said following the talks with Sleiman at Baabda Palace.
"I underlined to President Michel Sleiman ... the need to preserve the best of ties with our Arab sisters, particularly Gulf states, in light of the repercussions that we will face as a result of any decision taken by the Gulf states toward Lebanon, whether on Lebanon's economy ... or in terms of the Lebanese working in Gulf countries," he added.
In a letter presented to Sleiman by Zayani on behalf of the GCC, the Gulf Arab states voiced "extreme concerns" that Lebanon was failing to abide by its disassociation policy toward regional conflicts.
The letter, according to Sleiman's office, said the "GCC voiced its extreme concern [over Lebanon] not committing to the Baabda Declaration and the policy of disassociation."
"The council," the letter stated, "looks to [Lebanon] to abide by the policy in words and actions in order to prevent placing Lebanon's security and stability at risk or affecting the interests of its people and their security."
Lebanon has a self-avowed policy of disassociating itself from regional unrest. Rival Lebanese leaders also agreed during a National Dialogue session in 2011 to abide by what is known as the "Baabda Declaration," which calls for Lebanon to distance itself from regional and international conflicts.
Sleiman has urged all politicians to commit to the principles of the Baabda Declaration and avoid meddling in Arab countries' affairs.

The Center for Early Childhood Education is pleased to unveil a new video series entitled Investigating.... Each video in the series captures one topic of investigation explored by children and teachers at Eastern's Child and Family Development Resource Center under the Investigations curriculum. The curriculum is centered around engaging projects--called "investigations"--on topics that are selected by children, teachers, and families. As children investigate a topic in learning centers, small collaborative groups, whole group activities, movement and music experiences, outdoor observation, or field trips, they acquire critical competencies identified in the Connecticut State Department of Education Curriculum and Assessment Framework and the standards of national professional organizations.
Each video in the Investigating... series include interviews with preschool and toddler teachers about how children engaged in literacy, math, science, art, and other activities through each three- or four-month investigation.
Two videos in the series are now available:
- Investigating...Going Green
- Investigating...Balls
A third video will be released this winter.

Distinguished Alumni
2015 Distinguished Alumna - Teresa Becker
College of Agriculture, Class of 2007
Co-founder, Heart of Haute
Teresa Becker discovered the value of a learn-by-doing education when she was just 8.
She and her father bought a sewing machine as a birthday present for her mother. Unfortunately, they didn't know that Becker's mother hated to sew. Becker begged her father to keep the sewing machine rather than return it to the store. Despite her age, she knew she wanted to make and wear beautiful clothes, partly because she loved following fashion magazines, and European designers, and had to wear drab uniforms to school.
Becker's father made a deal with her: If she learned how to use the machine in a week, they would keep it. By week's end, Becker not only knew how to use the machine, she made her mother an apron that she kept for the rest of her life.
Becker began working in the apparel industry in 1978, becoming a fashion designer for several large manufacturers, running her own store in Covina, and teaching at California Design College, an Art Institute School, as well as Chaffey College and Mt. San Antonio College.
She enrolled in the apparel management and marketing program at Cal Poly Pomona because she needed a bachelor's degree to keep teaching.
After making a vintage-inspired apparel collection as a teaching tool for one of her classes, Becker's daughter, Amanda, who already had begun an eBay business selling vintage clothing styles, said, "I think I can sell this." Together, they started their own business. Originally based in their home and called Heartbreaker Fashion, it was a wholesale and retail e-commerce clothing business.
"Cal Poly Pomona gave me quite a few new ways of looking at business. The classes that I took were also very important at helping me grow as a professional, and I applied many of the lessons that I learned in the classroom to my business," Becker says. "Frequently I was very surprised to see that actual homework assignments were brought into the company and made sales the very next day. So it was very valuable real-time information that I learned."
Since its creation in 2005, the company, which is now known as Heart of Haute, has grown to employ 16 people and sells to more than 400 boutiques and online businesses in the United States, Europe and Australia. About 80 percent of the clothing line is handled on the Internet, including dresses, tops and skirts. It now occupies an 8,000-square-foot building in San Dimas.
The American Apparel Education Foundation named Becker as its 2006-07 Cal Poly Apparel Student of the Year. In addition, she and her daughter Amanda were named Businesswomen of the Year by the San Dimas Chamber of Commerce in 2009.
Since graduating in 2007, she has maintained her connection to Cal Poly Pomona. She has volunteered on campus, donated to the university, and participated in and provided garments for the Apparel Merchandising and Management Fashion Show.
Becker also has served on the Apparel Merchandising and Management's Industry Advisory Board, and her company has provided internships to students and jobs for alumni.
In addition, she continues to teach as an adjunct professor at Mt. SAC and serves on an advisory board at that college.
2014 Distinguished Alumnus - Marty Evanson
College of Agriculture, Class of 1963
Co-Founder and President, Jobbers Meat Packing Co.
Co-Founder and CEO, Ice Cold Storage Co.
For Marty Evanson, the meat business has always been the family business. His father was a meat distributor in the Vernon area of Los Angeles. After graduating with a degree in animal husbandry in 1963, Evanson worked for 6 months, saved his earnings and back packed around the world for one year. He visited 32 countries up and down the globe. Upon his return he joined his father in the distributing business. He lost his father just about the time he was getting married in 1971. Eight years later he and a couple of friends founded Jobbers Meat Packing Co. They initially started boning beef carcasses and selling primals and sub-primals to the foodservice companies and retail chains. In 1991 he and his partner built a facility in Vernon and founded Ice Cold Storage Co., a public cold storage operation. The two businesses complemented each other and allowed them both to grow.
In 2010 Jobbers Meat Packing went through a major revamping. By this time Marty's son Andrew had joined the family business. They created a subsidiary and called it WilMar Ground Meat. WilMar provides a million pounds of ground beef per week to retailers, food service companies and fast food restaurants in California, Arizona, Nevada and Oregon.
Throughout the years of success, Evanson has not forgotten his alma mater. In 2013, he pledged $100,000 to support an endowed scholarship for undergraduate animal science students who demonstrate financial need.
Marty has been active in the North American Meat Association and sits as Chairman of the Board. This past year he has been the recipient of the Richard Knowlton Award, given out once a year to the individual that has brought change to their business. Mr. Evanson also sits on Cal Poly's Dean of Agriculture advisory board.
Evanson and his wife of 43 years are parents to four grown children and they have eight grandchildren.
2013 Distinguished Alumnus - Dan Stark
Throughout his career, Dan Stark has been blessed with good luck. For a man who has made his living in Las Vegas, he's been fortunate that the odds were on his side.
In 1981, Stark earned a B.S. in agricultural business management from Cal Poly Pomona, where he was a member of the University Union Board, served on the Poly Vue Committee, and also was captain of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Team. He expected to manage a horse ranch as a career, and he did that for seven years at Disneyland after graduation. But then, other opportunities opened up.
"I didn't really choose my career path as much as I kind of just fell into it by being in the right place at the right time, being prepared to think outside the box and not being afraid to try new things," he recalls. "The time at Disney allowed me to acquire professional experience in the entertainment/hospitality/tourism industry, which led me to other career opportunities. I greatly enjoy the tourism industry and the varied projects I have been able to work on."
After leaving Disney, Stark headed up the tourism and marketing efforts of several cities. In 1999, he landed in Las Vegas, working for Boyd Gaming Corp., eventually becoming vice president of corporate marketing. He put some of his Cal Poly Pomona expertise to work when he was charged with elevating the visibility of the company during the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's National Finals Rodeo, which is held every December in Las Vegas.
Earlier this year, he left Boyd Gaming to become an independent executive consultant with Gaming Market Advisors.
Stark also continued his education through the years. In 1989, he received a Certificate in executive management from the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University, followed in 1992 by an M.A. in management, also from the Drucker School. He has been recognized and honored professionally numerous times with awards and listings in various "Who's Who' publications. He has also donated his time and money to various philanthropic endeavors, including serving on the Cal Poly Pomona Alumni Association Board.
2012 Distinguished Alumnus - Richard Wilson
Richard Wilson has never been afraid to get dirty. Grounded by the Illinois roots of his mother's farming family, he embarked on a career in the nursery business, and for more than 30 years he has made earning a living off the land a way of life.
Wilson founded the enormously successful Colorama Wholesale Nursery, choosing the name after seeing it on the side of a paint truck, he recalls. Colorama's main office is in Azusa, with growing areas in the Coachella Valley town of Thermal, and Carpinteria, near Santa Barbara. In 2008, he bought Piru-based La Verne Nursery Inc., which supplies most of the fruit trees to major nurseries in the southwest region. Currently, his company employs about 350 people, including three ornamental horticulture graduates from Cal Poly Pomona, he reports.
Wilson arrived on campus in the mid-1970s after a three-year stint in the U.S. Army and a short time at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut. He received a B.S. degree in ornamental horticulture in 1975 and, after a six-year business partnership with another Cal Poly student, he struck out on his own with Colorama in 1984.
"I always knew I was going to start a company," he says. "It was just a matter of time."
Wilson's success has allowed him to provide much needed assistance to Cal Poly Pomona. He serves on the Plant Science Department Advisory Board and through the years has given plants, materials and equipment to the department. Among the donations was a vertical outdoor strawberry production system. In addition, La Verne Nursery currently is working with the university on a plant-tissue culturing project that will offer an educational experience to future students and provide a monetary return to the department. He also has provided plants and materials to Mt. SAC.
Professionally, he served as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the California Association of Nurserymen and is a member of the Nursery Growers Association of Southern California.
Wilson says he feels extremely fortunate to have been able to do what he loves all these years. "I never thought of doing anything else. It was just a matter of moving forward."
2011 Distinguished Alumna – Lisa Alley-Zarkades
Ms. Lisa Alley-Zarkades graduated in 1982, summa cum laude and valedictorian of the Foods & Nutrition program at Cal Poly Pomona. Today, she is Vice President of the Animal Wellness Group at E. T. Horn. She and her Animal Wellness team focus on the improvement of the overall health, wellness and quality of life of animals. E. T. Horn is one of the nation's premier distributors of raw materials and chemicals for use in a variety of products including animal foods and supplements. Ms. Alley-Zarkades has over 20 years of food industry experience in technical sales and technical sales management positions. The company's culinary lab, established when she was Vice President of the FoodTech Group, is an outstanding example of how Lisa and her team set the standard for technical leadership in the specialty ingredient distribution industry.
Ms. Alley-Zarkades is a board member of the World Pet Association; a member of The Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse; and a professional member of the Institute of Food Technologists. She has also participated in the University's Professor for a Day program and is a member of the Dean's Council for the College of Agriculture.
"Like many, I really didn't know what I wanted as a career, but I've always had a passion for fitness, nutrition, and animals," remarked Lisa, "and that's what led me here to Cal Poly. As a polytechnic university, it provided me with excellent on-the-job training and a wonderful, very practical learning experience. I am just thrilled to be representing and giving back to my Alma Mater."
2010 Distinguished Alumnus - Dale Stern
Agricultural Biology, 1984
Stern, Van Vleck & McCarron, LLP
Frequent visits throughout his childhood to his families' farms and dairies planted a seed of interest in agriculture in Dale Stern. Years later, he is realizing his dream as an agricultural law attorney.
Stern serves as general counsel to more than 50 nonprofit organizations representing many sectors of California's food industry, ranging from production agriculture to food processors to grocery stores. He also represents many individual members of these trade associations by negotiating and drafting agreements for the sale of agricultural commodities and facilitating their interactions with government agencies. He has served as an expert witness and regularly appears on behalf of clients before state and federal courts and administrative agencies.
After starting his family, and before returning to school at Cal Poly Pomona, Stern worked as a transmission lineman for Southern California Edison, constructing and repairing high-voltage towers throughout the state.
While studying at Cal Poly Pomona, Stern took science and law classes, which fueled his career aspirations. He earned his bachelor's degree in agricultural biology with an emphasis on government regulation of agriculture. During his undergraduate years, he played on the varsity soccer team and participated in the co-op child care center where his youngest daughter attended. He was awarded the Voorhis Alumni Scholarship for agriculture in his senior year. After college, he went on to earn his law degree from the Martin Luther King, Jr. School of Law at UC Davis.
Stern is a published writer and regularly presents seminars on topics such as the fiduciary duties of directors and officers of nonprofit organizations, and negotiating and drafting sales agreements for agricultural interests.
When he is not advocating for California agriculture, he likes to play golf and travel with his wife Sheree. They have two daughters and five grandchildren, and live just outside Sacramento.
2009 Distinguished Alumnus - John E. Andrews
Food Marketing and Agribusiness Management, 1992
John Andrews runs his business, Trinity Farms, with an understanding of every aspect, literally from the ground up.
At Cal Poly Pomona, Andrews majored in agriculture business management where he learned the accounting side of his industry. A minor in agronomy taught him everything from plant biology to the mechanics of farm vehicles.
In addition to his work as CEO of Trinity Farms, Andrews works as office manager for the family farming operation that is owned by his parents and run by the Robert S. Andrews Company. The two San Joaquin Valley companies are major growers, packers, and shippers of lettuce, cabbage, melons and cotton.
As a leader in agriculture for the state, Andrews is a member of the California Cantaloupe Advisory Board and the California Melon Research Board. He serves on the board of South Valley Cooperative Ginning and is a member of the Grower Board of Jess Smith and Sons Cotton Brokers. He participates in resolving California's water issues by working with the Wheeler Ridge-Maricopa Water Storage District.
Continuing his involvement with the College of Agriculture, Andrews welcomes classes to his farming operations every year with additional stops at gins, dairies and other local growers. In 2000, he established the John E. Andrews Leadership Award, which is presented annually. Andrews is also involved in charity work for St. Jude Children's Hospital.
When he is away from the farm, Andrews enjoys cooking and spending time with his close-knit family.
"I'm most proud of my parents' support and that of my brother, Danny, whom I work with on a daily basis," Andrews says. "Our lives are work when needed, and family fulfillments when required, which gives me flexibility and balance."
2008 Distinguished Alumnus - Kelly F. Duke
Ornamental Horticulture 1982
Vice President, Pre-Construction Services
ValleyCrest Landscape Development, Inc.
A business strategy Kelly Duke developed has taken him to the top of his company and helped his company stay on top of its industry.
Duke prepares budget estimates on construction projects for ValleyCrest Landscape Development, Inc. The strategy he developed involves finding a solution to each customer's problem while operating within the limits of the company's procedural demands and limited tolerance for risk.
His clients include Disney, the Getty Center and the Huntington Library. Duke credits much of his success to his studies at Cal Poly Pomona where he prepared his first of many business plans for hypothetical horticultural venture.
"As students we were compelled to address those things that were not necessarily stated in the curriculum but were necessary and logical to anticipate in the real world," Duke said. "The practice business plans helped me better understand the workings of ValleyCrest and allow me to emphathize with the needs of our customers"
Shortly after graduation, Duke was offered a job with ValleyCrest as a senior estimator. In 1989 he was promoted to lead the Central Estimating Department. Now he serves as a vice president of pre-construction services and is responsible for the preparation of pre-qualification documentation, technical proposal packages and marketing tools for business development representatives.
"What my department constructs are, in essence, the very same financial models that were at the heart of all of those Cal Poly hypothetical business plan term projects," Duke said. "To be recognized by the College of Agriculture as a distinguished alumnus is both an unexpected honor and an inducement to furthering my support of this institution."
Duke shares his excitement for the field of landscaping with high school students as a volunteer for the national Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE) Mentor Program at Van Nuys High School and the Pasadena School District.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by heather_s Gorgeous I normally shy away from buying long-sleeved shirts because the sleeves are ALWAYS too short for my long limbs, but this was so pretty and seemed long in the torso so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Lo and behold, when I first pulled it out it looked so small and I was sure it'd be one of those unflattering form-fitting shirts that exaggerates every lump and paunchiness one may possess. Much to my surprise, it fit beautifully. The sleeves were long enough, and it was adequately long in the torso (mine comes to about mid-butt on me, not past it like on the models, but I have more butt than they do#. I bought the white in a sz. M #I'm 5'9" & 146 lbs.), and you will probably have to wear a cami or something underneath to prevent your lady bits showing, unless, of course, you don't care. So pretty, I wear mine with the Discharge Bali jeans, and it looks great. Very happy with this, and can't wait to try out other shirts from FP now. 10.23.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by claire_olivia great buy I bought this is red color and LOVE IT, I find it true to size and love the length. I get compliments every time I wear it. I usually wear it over a tank but it would be lovely in the summer just over a beautiful bra - I did find that once it gets washed some of the fold of fabric flip up and have to be iron flat again, but thats not a big deal 11.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sabbakk Pretty This top is very pretty and despite all the lace, seems durable. I got mine in S (5'7, 123lb, small bust), I wear it with a nude tank top underneath and it fits like it does on the model. I got the impression that Antique White makes my top look somewhat heavier - which I don't mind. 11.19.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Slagoon Eh I received this shirt last night, it runs incredibly small and was torn upon opening, I will be returning and upsizing at least one size, probably two. 11.5.2013

Indian Motorcycle® dealerships honor the brand's historic legacy and deliver premium products and services to consumers, and a great ownership experience for dealers. Watch for more new Indian Motorcycle® dealerships opening across the U.S. throughout 2013 and in the years ahead.
Burt Munro of Invercargill, New Zealand, set the world's land speed record on this heavily modified 1920 Indian® Scout® in 1967 at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats. Burt began modifying his Indian® Scout® in 1926, and by the time he made it to the salt, it was such a unique amalgam of custom-made components it needed to be torn down and rebuilt after every 10 minutes of run time. Built strictly for speed, the Munro Special was virtually void of any safety equipment. Burt was in pursuit of world-record speed, not safe travels.
The Indian Motorcycle® display at the 2012 Long Beach International Motorcycle Show featured the one and only "Munro Special." That's the machine on which Burt Munro set a world land speed record in 1967 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Fueled by a passion for speed, Burt used innovative, home-brewed engineering to draw explosive, record-setting...
The custom-built "Spirit of Munro" is a streamlined tribute to the racers and mechanics throughout history who collectively fueled the Indian Motorcycle® legacy of racing victories and record-setting speed runs.
Mike Wolfe is known as an American picker. He's a TV star, author and entrepreneur.

Pop's quirky princess Lady Gaga celebrated getting one year older this week.
The starlet opted for a quiet do with close friends and family for her 26th birthday although she still "had a blast". She ditched the disco and went to a cycling class and the gym and it seems the only diva demand she had was that Bruce Springsteen was played in the studio.
After the exercise the pop princess returned home to a meal cooked by her mum.
If Gaga's style was as simple as her birthday we doubt we'd be as fashion focused on the singer. Thankfully her meat dress, statement PVC dresses and undies as well as those super high shoes give us something to talk about.
Happy Birthday Lady Gaga. To celebrate we've put together a gallery of your style.

Feds hunt bomb suspects; Obama offers reassurance
BOSTON Investigators in the Boston Marathon bombing pressed the search Thursday for one or two potential suspects spotted on video, while President Barack Obama paid a visit under heavy security to offer words of reassurance to the city and a warning to those responsible for the attack: "We will find you."
Mountains of marathon footage yielded a possible breakthrough as investigators zeroed in on a man seen on department store surveillance video dropping off a bag near the finish line and then walking away, City Council President Stephen Murphy said on Wednesday.
In Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday that the FBI wants to speak with individuals seen in at least one video from the race, but she said she isn't calling them suspects in the twin bombings Monday that killed three people and wounded more than 170. She gave no details on what the video shows.
At an interfaith service honoring the victims, the president sought to inspire a stricken city and comfort an unnerved nation, declaring that Boston "will run again."
"We may be momentarily knocked off our feet," Obama said at the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Cross. "But we'll pick ourselves up. We'll keep going. We will finish the race."
The crowd applauded as Obama warned those who carried out the attack: "Yes, we will find you. And, yes, you will face justice."
There was a heavy police presence around the cathedral as residents lined up before dawn, hoping to get one of the roughly 2,000 seats inside. By 9 a.m., they were being turned away.
Among the hundreds in line was 18-year-old Eli Philips. The college student was a marathon volunteer and was wearing his volunteer jacket. He said he was still shocked that "something that was euphoric went so bad."
Ricky Hall of Cambridge showed up at 8 a.m. but was turned away from the line to get inside that was already stretching down at least two city blocks.
"I came to pay my respects to the victims," he said. He said he was also angry that someone would desecrate the marathon, and he urged maximum punishment for the perpetrators.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said he shared the frustration that those responsible were still at large, but he said solving the case will not "happen by magic."
"It's going to happen by doing the careful work that must be done in a thorough investigation," Patrick said. "That means going through the couple of blocks at the blast scene square inch by square inch and picking up pieces of evidence and following those trails, and that's going to take some time."
The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators and others close to the case said. Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground.

When neurologist Tulio Bertorini came to Memphis 36 years ago to teach at the University of Tennessee, he and his wife, Emma, found this mid-sized city in the Mid-South to be a difficult adjustment.
He was born in and studied in his native Peru's largest city, Lima, along the Pacific Coast. After earning his medical degree at the University of San Marcos in Peru, his first stops in the United States were Baltimore, Washington and Boston. The doctor liked having the ocean nearby, and those cities were somewhat more cosmopolitan than Memphis.
"But it's getting there," Bertorini said. "The city grew on me and my wife. We raised our kids here and became attached."
The doctor with the Italian ancestry and Peruvian roots fit in quite nicely in Memphis, where he specializes in neuromuscular disease. He is president and senior partner at Wesley Neurology Clinic. The clinic has five locations in Shelby County and celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.
Bertorini is chief of neurology at Methodist University Hospital and co-director of its neurology training program, as well as co-director of UTHSC's neurophysiology fellowship program. He also is director of the Memphis MDA Clinic and the Mid-South MDA/ALS Clinic.
The idea of helping people and healing people snagged him early in high school and never has let go. His father, a teacher and school principal, was a voluntary administrator at a charity hospital, and young Bertorini, who liked to read medical stories, was a volunteer there.
He quickly was attracted to neurology.
"Understanding the brain was challenging," he said. "I was a neuroanatomy instructor while in medical school, and understanding the nervous system was very fascinating. Not much to offer patients then, but it's much better now."
A conversation with Bertorini frequently returns to the theme of helping others, even as, at age 67, he is asked about retirement – whenever it comes.
"The thought of retirement is always there," he said. "But I might feel empty. I want to write more, teach and help people."
The doctor has published more than 150 papers on neuromuscular disorders, in addition to writing and editing three books and several book chapters. He also has been involved with teaching throughout his career. Bertorini remains the acting chair of neurology at UT.
Staying diversified is one of the most satisfying aspects of his job.
"We've created a solid group (at Wesley Neurology Clinic) while maintaining patient care and teaching as well as research," he said. "I created my own muscle histology laboratory, which is challenging."
Among the awards Bertorini has received is the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching, as chosen by his students, and for the past 17 years he has been elected by his peers for inclusion in Best Doctors in America®. He also has been listed in Top Doctors.
His desire to give back extends well beyond Memphis. In recent years he has turned his attention to his home country. He is dedicated to helping boost funding for his medical school, the San Fernando Medical School of San Marcos University. He has been able to aid the indigents of Peru via mission work through the Peruvian Medical Association; together, they have opened a clinic for indigents in Bertorini's hometown.
"I want to continue to help the poor here and in Peru," he said.
But, as his fellow doctors are aware, taking on multiple projects and responsibilities makes it a challenge "to maintain an equilibrium without the sacrifice of my family."
Bertorini and his wife of more than 40 years have three children, none of whom followed their father into the practice of medicine.
"But they are caring, giving, compassionate and very honest and hard workers," he said. Still, he added, "I hope my grandchild and some of the future ones go into medicine."
Looking back on his career, if he has any regrets, it would be not being more involved in clinical research and "not finding a cure for so many diseases."
Perhaps that fundamental desire of many of those who go into medicine is reflected in the namesake of the Wesley Neurology Clinic. John Wesley was the Anglican cleric and Christian theologian of the 18th century who is credited, along with his brother, for founding Methodism. Although not a doctor, Wesley started clinics for the poor, invented cures for some of the diseases he had and wrote a book on medicinal cures.
When he does eventually wind down his career, Bertorini says he won't miss the weekend and night calls.
"I wish I had more time for my family and to travel," he said.
A lifelong soccer player, the doctor still plays competitively.
"I love sports," he said. "I want to continue playing soccer, swimming and reading non-medical books such as novels and history books."
And, of course, continue helping people.

Ryan Seacrest covering 2012 Summer Olympics in London for NBC
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Ryan Seacrest stopped by "Today" Wednesday morning (April 4) to make a big announcement - but no, he's not taking Matt Lauer's anchor job, a rumor that has been flying since last December when Seacrest met with some head honchos from NBC Universal.
Instead, Seacrest will be joining the NBC primetime team for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Former "Today" anchor Meredith Vieira has already announced that she will be joining the Olympics coverage team as well.
Seacrest also didn't come right out and officially announce his return to "American Idol," but he did say, "I plan to stay there. I think I'll have an official announcement very, very soon. I expect to be on that show."
Of course, there were plenty of jokes about Seacrest taking Lauer's job. Seacrest cracked, "I see you doing this for as long as you want to, so maybe the question is, how long will you be on 'The Today Show'?"
Seacrest also cracked that his meetings with the NBC Universal executives were "mostly about filling in to do the weather."
And Lauer was very gracious about the rumors, saying, "I think you would be great at this job, and secondly ... Ryan and I are friendly. We have talked about this and joked about this. There is no tension here. I bought dinner, which I think was completely inappropriate. [ laughs]"

The Davis school board faced another standing-room-only audience Thursday night as the trustees adopted several budget deficit-driven decisions they said they would prefer not to make.
Among those present were a large contingent of teachers who are unhappy at the prospect of smaller paychecks and bigger class sizes.
The teachers are in the midst of contract negotiations with the school district, a situation to which Davis Teachers Association president Gail Mitchell alluded in her comments.
"Two weeks ago, the (school) board asked us to consider a 5.5 percent permanent, ongoing pay cut," she said. "What I hear from teacher after teacher, at site after site, is: 'I can't afford to see my paycheck shrink any further.' "
She warned that some teachers would need to move out of town or take a child out of college if the pay cut is adopted.
Teacher Rusi Gustafson, who has a kindergarten class at Birch Lane Elementary, said that "three weeks ago, we were warned to expect a total of 31 students in each of our classes next year," and he noted that four years ago, kindergarten class size was 20 students.
Gustafson protested "this board's intention to recompense us for this 50 percent increase in class size … with a 5.5 percent pay cut." He warned that teachers are reaching "a breaking point."
Tim Fahlen, a teacher at Emerson Junior High, worried about the reduction in hours for vice principals at the district's three junior high schools.
"Schools will always be in crisis mode," Fahlen warned. "A vice principal's tasks are gi-normous. … How are problems going to be handled if the principal is gone, or not available?"
Marla Cook, a sixth-grade teacher at Willett Elementary, called for "a freeze on spending … no new reading series, no new language programs to replace ones that work," and "no new computers, even." She called on all district employees to consider a 1 percent pay cut.
In contrast to the April 19 school board meeting, some teachers praised Winfred Roberson on Thursday night. Last month, teachers protested a clause in Roberson's new contract, under which the school district would reimburse him about $15,000 a year for tuition as he participates in a three-year doctoral program.
A few days later, Roberson quietly sent an email to teachers saying "I regret that the tuition reimbursement has become a distraction in the workplace. … I will not accept reimbursement for tuition costs."
On Thursday, Roberson got credit for taking "the first step by declining to have his education subsidized (by the district)," as one teacher put it.
While negotiations between the teachers union and the district are rocky on some issues, a tentative agreement was announced Thursday with the district's other bargaining unit. Assistant Superintendent Matt Best and Jim Herrington, president of the California School Employees Association local — representing custodial and maintenance workers, secretaries and others — said the tentative agreement includes two furlough days for CSEA members in the coming school year.
About four layoff notices to CSEA members will be rescinded as a result, but several other employees will still be pink-slipped under a pair of resolutions that the school board approved Thursday night.
Trustees also approved final layoff notices for teachers and other staffers who had received preliminary layoff notices in March. Those job eliminations will reduce the district's $3.5 million budget deficit by about $2.5 million. The staffing reduction also will swell class sizes throughout the district.
"I don't want to vote for this," said trustee Gina Daleiden, but she noted with dismay that the alternatives were even worse. "We could close two schools, and may get close to saving $1 million."
Associate Superintendent Bruce Colby told the trustees that the district's fiscal reserves have dwindled after years of budget reductions by the state.
"We are running low on cash and if we are not extremely careful, we will run out of cash and go bankrupt," he warned.
Colby cited a letter from the Yolo County Office of Education, which reviews local school district budgets, noting that if the Davis district doesn't make $3 million or more in budget reductions, "the district would have a qualified or possibly negative budget certification," which could result in the state appointing a trustee to assume control of major budget decisions.

A novice is free to quit the novitiate at any time, and the Superior is free to dismiss them with or without cause. During the novitiate, the novice is often clothed in special clothing which, while distinct from secular dress is not the full habit worn by professed members of the community. The novice's day normally encompasses participation in the full canonical hours, manual labor, and special classes designed to instruct the novices on the religious life they are preparing to embrace. Spiritual exercises and tests of humility are a common feature of the novitiate. Many communities encourage frequent confession and reception of Holy Communion by their novices.
A Superior will often appoint an experienced member of the community to oversee the training of novices. This may be a single novice master who is responsible for the training of all novices, or an individual elder may be appointed for each novice.
Different religious communities will have varying requirements for the duration of the novitiate. Often one must go through a postulancy before entering the novitiate. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the novitiate is officially set at three years before one may be tonsured a monk or nun, though this requirement may be dispensed.
The term novitiate also referes to the building or complex within a monastery or convent which is devoted exclusively to the needs of novices (sleeping, training, etc.).

It would be better to format it ExFAT than FAT. With ExFAT, you'd have the same interoperability between Windows and Mac OS X, but you'd have fewer capacity restrictions. ExFAT was designed for larger FLASH drives specifically to be functional for both Windows and OS X.
As file systems go, it's not as good as either NTFS or the Mac OS X journaled file system, but it's the best option for passing files back and forth between the two operating systems.

August Sonntag's birth date is unknown. In 1848, he was a youthful aide at the observatory of Altoona in the then Duchy of Holstein. From 1848 until about 1853 he continued working at that observatory, publishing in both the Astronomische Nachrichten and the Astronomical Journal.
In late 1852 or early 1853, Sonntag emigrated to America. He volunteered for the post of astronomer on the Arctic expedition being organized by Dr. Elisha Kent Kane of Philadelphia. The expedition sailed from New York on May 31, 1853. The brig Advance sailed northward along the coast of Greenland looking for an open polar sea. On September 10th it was frozen in for the winter in Rensselaer Harbor, about 150 miles north of the present Thule air base.
Within days of arrival, a tiny observatory was set up near the imprisoned ship. Sonntag had four chronometers, a theodolite, a transit instrument, and equipment for measuring the earth's magnetic field. This was Sonntag's headquarters for nearly two years. Among other observations, he determined his longitude by timing the culminations of the Moon. Several occultations of Saturn and Mars by the Moon were timed in 1853-1854, as well as a partial eclipse of the Sun.
August 1854 found the Advance still trapped in the ice and after enduring a second winter of extreme hardship, the expedition set out on a desperate escape journey by sled and open boat to Upernavik, nearly 600 miles to the south. The expedition reached Upernavik on August 6th and was picked up by two U.S. Navy relief ships five weeks later. Later in 1856, Sonntag went to Mexico with the scientific expedition of Baron Muller and climbed 17,887-foot Mount Popocatepetl.
In 1857, a book was published about his Arctic adventures entitled Professor Sonntag's thrilling narrative of the Grinnell exploring expedition to the Arctic Ocean, in the years 1853, 1854, and 1855, in search of Sir John Franklin, under the command of Dr. E.K. Kane. This "literary imposture, its authorship repudiated by Sonntag, and its authenticity rejected by other members of the expedition ... this work is said ... to have been prepared by Charles C. Rhodes from a brief ms. article on the expedition purchased by Rhodes from Mrs. Sonntag, during Sonntag's absence in Mexico."--Arctic Bibliography 14449. Day, Search for the Northwest Passage, 43 82.
In 1859, Sonntag became Assistant Director at Dudley Observatory under the acting directorship Franz Brunnow. In 1860, both astronomers left Dudley, Brunnow to become professor of astronomy at the University of Michigan and Sonntag to go on another Arctic expedition, with Isaac Hayes in the schooner United States.
Hayes' aim was to retrace Kane's track along the west coast of Greenland in search of the mythical open polar sea. In the course of this effort, in January, 1861, Sonntag and an Eskimo companion were traveling over the ice near Cape York when the astronomer fell into the water and died soon after of cold and exposure.

Faculty Scholarship 1994 - Present
Assessing Teach Effectiveness: Using Focus Groups to Impr the Teaching/Learning Proc in Finance
Accreditation of business schools by the AACSB - The International Association for Management Education, requires demonstration that schools have developed and implemented a plan to continously improve the quality of instruction. This paper describes how focus groups were used at a regional university to identify areas for change that would enhance the teaching/learning process in Principles of Finance. Included is a description of the process for using focus groups, the changes that were made in the course and a report of the changes in the students' evaluation of the course as measured using the Educational Testing Service's SIR II evaluation forms. The results indicate improvement in all of the areas evaluated by the students, with particulary high levels of improvement in "Course Organization and Planning" and "Faculty/Student Interaction." The methodology described in this paper may be useful for improving the teaching/learning process in other courses at schools of business seeking accreditation or re-accreditation. By eliciting specific student ideas for change, instructors can focus directly on achieving improvement.

Zipp 808 Firecrest Rear Carbon Clincher Wheel - SRAM/Shimano
808 Firecrest® Carbon Clincher - For triathletes and road racers seeking superior aero performance, stable handling, and the convenience of clinchers, there's no faster all-around wheelset than the 808 Firecrest Carbon Clincher.
Zipp's engineers create a uniquely tuned rim profiles for every combination of rim depth and tire style. So the process of developing the 808 Firecrest® Carbon Clincher was much more complex than merely adding clincher sidewalls to the 808 Tubular or increasing the depth of the 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher.
Optimizing the revolutionary Firecrest aero-rim concept for an 82 mm depth and the distinct airflow pattern of clincher tires required us to evaluate a slew of minutely varied prototypes through CFD, or computational fluid dynamics, software and in the wind tunnel. At 27.5 mm wide, the final version is the fastest deep-section carbon clincher in the world. Yet, with a weight of only 1,795 grams, it more than holds its own on the climbs.
New for 2014, the 808 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is built with a the latest iteration of our 188 rear hub, the V9, along with new spoke-lacing pattern for the rear wheel - refinements that result in improved stiffness and durability.
- Weight: 815g Front / 980g Rear / 1795 Pair
- Rim Depth: 82mm
- Spokes Count: 18 Front / 24 Rear
- Max Width: 27.5mm
- Dimpled Surface: Yes
- Hubs: 88 Zipp hub
- Compatibility: SRAM/Shimano

Question: About 16 years ago, when I was a child and lived with my family in Russia, a curious thing happened.
My mother and I were sitting in our 13th-floor flat, when we heard a sizzling noise, and I saw a ball of fire about 5 centimetres in diameter right behind my mother's head.
It stayed there a few seconds, then went "pop" like an exploding light bulb and vanished. As far as I know, this was ball lightning, but I would like to know how and why it appeared and disappeared so suddenly.
I would also like to know whether our lives were in danger? It was not raining that day, but was cloudy and quite stuffy. The windows were closed at the time of the incident.
Answer: You are quite correct. What you saw is known as ball lightning. This is a type of lightning that can appear ...

Cheap UK Merchant Accounts
This article will give you an overview of cheap merchant accounts, the charges associated with them, and how to avoid scams when looking for cheap merchant account options.
Merchant Account Fees
There are different conduits in the way payment is made and received despite all payments being paid by card. For example, paying for something using the Chip and PIN service will be handled in a different way to a transaction being made using the swipe facility - that is using the magnetic strip on the reverse of a credit or debit card. As the transactions are handled differently it follows that the fees to be paid are treated differently also.
As payments are being made all day long and in the sake of an internet business all night long potentially too, these transactions will be charged for per transaction. The merchant account you are using will swap money at the end of the day with the transactional banks. The fees for using a merchant account bank can be quite high as you can imagine. Cards being declined will incur a separate fee otherwise known as a nuisance fee.

Cardsave WorldPay
Cardsave merchant accounts are now controlled by Worldpay, but offer the exact same services that customers are used to. They have a flat rate of £19.99 per month, but their fees are amongst the lowest because they depend on how many payments you actually process. They offer a fixed rate for debit cards and a percentage rate for credit cards, which you can ask about directly as prices are subject to change.
Other cost benefits to Cardsave Worldpay merchant accounts is that their payment gateway is included in your fees, they offer help with PCI Compliance and 24/7 UK-based customer support.
Find out more: CardSave Review, WorldPay Review
Sage Pay
As one of the cheapest options for merchant accounts, Sage Pay offers a flat fee of 40p for debit transactions, and 2.5% for credit card transactions. This does not include a £10 PCI compliance monthly fee and their payment gateway is also a separate fee. You should ask about current rates and total fees when you get a quote for their services.
Find out more: Sage Pay Review
Paypal offers merchant accounts to businesses in the UK, and has cheap rates available for credit and debit card payments, although not necessarily the cheapest in the market. Standard merchant accounts have a 3.4% + 20p fee for credit and debit card transactions, which can quickly add up if you have low margins and a larger volume of sales.
However, Paypal is known for its reliability, speed for processing, and availability around the world. It's a trusted brand that makes being a small business owner simple.
Scams and Fraud
Scammers and fraudsters are in every industry, there are always people that want to earn a fast few quid. Opening a merchant account is not without its risks. However, if you pay attention to detail and do your due diligence research thoroughly you will be fine.
Check the website has a bona fide http:// address and is not being hosted through a back door website i.e., a Google account or Yahoo. Use a merchant account that has received reviews and make sure you speak with someone face to face if not at the very least over the telephone. Likewise, do not think you need to use the bank you are currently with; you can shop around to get the best account for your business needs.
How to Get a Cheap Merchant Account
If you are setting up a brand new merchant account you will be expected to pay set up fees which currently are in the region of circa £100 to £300. Service charges of around 1.5% to 3% will be placed on all card transactions; this percentage figure will be based upon transactional volume, trading history etc. Debit cards generally attract a fee of around 20p to 50p per transaction, which is quite high, particularly if your business trade is for many small items rather than a few large transactions.
Several businesses put in place a minimum card spend in their shops or establishments for this very reason. There are companies that will source the best merchant account for you and get you up and running, they will then take a fee for providing this service along with an annual contract fee plus a percentage per transaction.
When weighing up your options, don't opt straight off for the account that offers the cheapest rate per transaction, add up ALL the costs you will be charged, as what may look attractive at first glance may not be the whole picture.

I met with a Forno Bravo owner in Healdsburg the other day (getting my photo taken for a magazine article :D ) and they showed me their bellows. The dad, who is getting really good at using the oven for baking and grilling, along with their pizza, swears by it.
For example, he uses them when he wants to make the fire burn hotter just before pulling the coals forward for grilling. It also makes getting the fire going a little easier.
Does anybody else do this? I've never tried it, but I'm thinking about it.
My oven isn't built yet, but I see a great application for that old electric leaf blower collecting dust in my shed.........
Hmm, I've always wanted a forge.... Brick oven/forge....
Ah, your leaf blower reminds of me one more thing. You can also use the bellows to blow the last tiny bit of ash of the cooking floor -- after you brush and before the first pizza.
I'm not sure a leaf blower is delicate enough for that one. :rolleyes:
Ash Blowing
I've read about a baker in CA somewhere who does not brush at all; he uses compressed air in the kind of "pig" two truck drivers have for flat tires. Never tried it, though I do have the equipment. Seems it would blow ash on everything, me included.
I don't use bellows, but I use a draft door.
1 Attachment(s)
Last weekend my brother visited and we made a draft door. It's amazing. When heating up the oven, it keeps all the heat in, but allows a turbocharged flow of air in to fuel the fire. It's great to use between pizzas or when you add another log to recharge the heat.
For me, it's going to be SOP from now on.
We named it the "Ball Peen Canard Restrictor Plate." Beer had NOTHING to do with the total nonsensicality of the name.
Very sensible name for the door, and I'm relieved that beer had NOTHING to do with it. Now, here's the puzzle: why should you cook a duck next time? Think Quebec.
Interesting quandry. . .
Why indeed would I cook a duck? Well, in the context of naming this piece of equipment, I believe it was not the French word for duck that came to mind, but rather the unorthodox backward-styled canard pusher plane. But how that in any way relates to a draft restrictor door on a pizza oven is God's own sweet mystery.
Re: Bellows
Try using a hair dryer. Works a treat. My temp rocketed from 400C to 500C very quickly. 90 sec pizzas no worries. Burns away the coals too, leaving more room. I wonder if the Romans ever used forced air ?
Re: Bellows
i just ordered a bellow, so ihave not used it, but this one looks good.
go to sportys.com then click on the tool shop catalog. item # 4111t
Re: Bellows
My brother in law has a few oxygen tanks that he uses for his cutting torches..
I think I have an idea!

New Gun "Expert"–Piers Morgan! (skinned alive by our friend Larry Pratt)
I SWEAR I am not making this transcript up:
LARRY PRATT, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA: I think we need to ban gun control laws that keep people from being able to protect themselves. The problem is not going to go away if we ban this or that gun. We've tried that. That doesn't work. Doesn't even work in England. You have mass murders there all over Europe. There have been mass murderers.
Piers MORGAN: You're talking complete and utter -- you are talking complete and utter nonsense.
PRATT: It seems to me that you're morally obtuse. You seem to prefer being a victim to being able to prevail over the criminal element. And I don't know why you want to be the criminal's friend.
Piers MORGAN: You're an unbelievably stupid man, aren't you?...What a ridiculous argument. You have absolutely no coherent argument whatsoever. You don't -- you don't actually give --
PRATT: You have no --
Piers MORGAN: You don't give a damn, do you, about the gun murder rate in America? You don't actually care. All you care about --
PRATT: It seems to me that facts don't bother you, do they, Mr. Morgan?...Facts seem to -- they bounce right off of your head...Thank you for your high-level argument, Mr. Morgan. It's really very good.
Piers MORGAN: You know what, you wouldn't understand the meaning of the phrase high-level argument. You are a dangerous man espousing dangerous nonsense. And you shame your country.
PRATT: Disarmament is dangerous. Ask Neville Chamberlain, your role model.
Piers MORGAN: Yes. Sure. I know all about role models and you're not one of them.
Entire thing (including video) from our friends at Newsbusters here.
(Larry Pratt, by the way, is a friend of mine and of Enrique Encinosa and of Cuba's freedom...he's very knowledgeable and sharp on the topic--as sharp is he is on gun-control, in fact.)

Vietnam720: Cathy from GastronomyBlog.com is an established food writer with at least 34 publications under her belt (from what I can count on her site) and at least 31 press articles written on her (from what I can count on her site). This cute Vietnamese girl has even appeared on BBC before. She is currently based in Los Angeles but during her one year trip back home to Vietnam, she had written many blogs on Vietnamese food from the south all the way to North Vietnam. Since I already have quite a bit on Vietnamese food from South Vietnam on Vietnam720, I'm highlighting Cathy's blogs on Hanoi food which you can find here at 'Eating in Hanoi 01' and 'Eating in Hanoi 02'.
Below are some pictures on Hanoi food, taken with permission, from Cathy's wonderful food blog website.

I've been keeping up with all these discussions about ePortfolios and badges and the like, and it always comes down to one question for me:
How is this different from a transceript/resume?
Other than giving it a fancy name and some fun images, what have we changed from the system we have now?
It seems to me that competency-based education is eradicating the need for these badges by integrating workplace skills into the college transcript. And resumes do everything an ePortfolio does, with the added bonus of employers having the chance to see what skills prospective employees think their past experiences have led them toward.
All in all, I'm confused and underwhelmed.

The Tribune's White Sox writer answers reader questions throughout the season. This week, Josh Fields' chances of spelling Joe Crede, a scouting report on Aaron Rowand and whether the Sox will show some fire in Minnesota.
Mark, now that Joe Crede's back is worse and his chances of staying with the Sox long-term are even dimmer, what's up with Josh Fields? Is he playing third in the minors, or is he in the outfield? Are there any recent indications he could be Crede's worthy successor? --Danny Kramer, Steamboat, Colo.
Mark, would the Sox ever think about bringing up Josh Fields to play some third while Joe Crede is sidelined with his back injury? I cannot help but think he would be an upgrade from Pablo Ozuna defensively and at this point, offensively as well. --Derek, Chicago
The fact that Joe's back is acting up this early isn't a good sign, although he was showing signs of finding his stroke the game before his back started to stiffen in 45-degree weather. I'm not sure Josh Fields, would benefit being on the 25-man roster as an insurance policy or backup, as was the case with Ryan Sweeney and Brian Anderson.
But if Joe's back condition necessitates him being placed on the disabled list, then I'm all for giving Fields a look at the big league level.
As for Joe's future beyond 2007, keep in mind that he cannot become a free agent until 2008. I know there was speculation that Crede was about to be dealt the past two years because he is represented by Scott Boras, but Scott and assistant GM Rick Hahn found some common ground last January and I wouldn't be surprised if this happens next winter, assuming Joe's back condition doesn't get worse.
Fields played shortstop on Monday, but that was because of an "out of our control," issue, according to a team official. I believe it was because of Andy Gonzalez's promotion.
Rowand is not an "exceptional" centerfielder. All you'd have to do is watch last night's game and see him misplay three catchable fly balls. He plays too shallow and lacks the speed necessary to get the ball over his head. Also, his arm is below average. Frankly, he's been awful this season in the field. The Phillies' best centerfielder is their right fielder, Victorino. --Duttch, Philadelphia
Hi Mark, life-long Sox fan living in Philly. I have a partial season plan here and love seeing Aaron and Fredo at Citizens Bank Park. But to the faithful who long for Aaron's return, I say he's not the same defensive outfielder we saw own Yankee Stadium in 2005. His run-ins with the wall and Utley last year have left him noticeably gun shy and he is not getting a good break on line drives this year. I love the guy, but my fellow fans need to live in the present with Erstad. Aaron for Thome was a good trade for both teams. --Paul Aspan, Havertown, Pa.
Thanks to the scouting reports on Aaron. I did see Aaron misplay a ball that resulted in a triple for Miguel Olivo, of all people, last week.
For those of us that actually watch the Sox every day, and don't use websites to form our opinions about players, Darin Erstad has been a great addition to the team. That being said, what are your thoughts on the leadoff spot when Pods returns? Pods was having a good year before the injury, but Erstad is doing a heck of a job as our leadoff man. --Dan, Omaha
Dan, you're the leader for e-mail of the year. I like to use stats to support my case, but I'm mindful of what late scout Lloyd Christopher told a few of us in high school when evaluating players: "Statistics don't mean a thing."
I'd prefer to keep Erstad as the leadoff batter, but keep in mind that he hasn't played a full season since 2005, and he's played a lot of games already. Podsednik, if healthy, could provide a lift with his speed.
What are the odds of the White Sox signing Torii Hunter after this season? I think he's got the talent and grit to finally get people to stop talking about how to get Aaron Rowand back. --Curtis Marquardt, Chicago
Curtis, I was thinking the same thing shortly after Hunter robbed Thome of a homer. If Torii could hit well at the top of the order, he might be worth a look. He has tremendous defensive gifts, and he is one of several options this off-season if he doesn't re-sign with Minnesota.
Thought you'd like a break from the Ozzie-bashing to answer a general baseball question: Do you know why teams don't shake hands after games? It seems as though baseball is the only sport where this doesn't happen. --Ed, Indianapolis
Thanks, Ed. The Los Angeles Dodgers shook hands with the St. Louis Cardinals after the 2004 National League Division Series, but that was the only instance where I saw two teams shake hands.
My guess is that so many teams played each other (as many as 18 times against every league team), so it would get very repetitive. You hear and read about stories where players didn't want to get too friendly with opponents because there would be situations where a player had to slide hard into second to break up a double play, etc.

Medaka Box hentai doujin [English] : Kujira Box, by Yamane Akira3 September 2012, by Oliver
To be blunt, this doujin's drawings are poor. And yet, there was no way I could NOT share it : there aren't enough Medaka Box doujinshi, and seeing one with the most improbable pair, Nase X Kumagawa, was exhilarating
This doujin's a good mix of the hentai stuff (sexual arousal, sex) and of the original Medaka Box stuff (the complicated personalities, the scenario twists), even if, hentai oblige, the ending radically strays off from the original manga (hint : naked aprooooooon ! – lol).
If it had been drawn by a great artist, it would have been GREAT. As it is, I still deem it good enough material — as long as you know and enjoy Medaka Box, that is (otherwise, you may with to skip that share)
Kujira Box was translated by an Anon, with "Krizalid!Gacktw2/py!!Nucelyevkai" (dafuq O_o) doing the rest of the editing tasks, thank you
