The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Boy snags game ball, tosses woman a decoy
This video of a young baseball fan's catch has gone viral, but it's what happens after the catch that has people talking.
The video of the play during Saturday's game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers shows the third base coach grab a bouncing foul ball and flip it into the stands, where the boy reaches out and catches it with his glove. He then appears to hand it back to a female fan sitting behind him, the gesture of a young gentleman.
Or not such a gentleman after all? A closer look at the video shows the boy actually keeps the ball in his glove and tosses a decoy ball back to the women.
Smooth move? You be the judge.

This spacious restaurant offers a wide range of cuisines, but a full page is dedicated to German favorites. The Nuremburg sausages served with traditional Bavarian sauerkraut and spiced-up mashed potatoes are excellent. Despite the slow service and American '90s music, this is a charming place to linger over a range of German draft beers. It's also on a lively bar street, so a nightcap is easy.

Lay Mission Office News - February 2013
New staff person joins LMO
By Mary Olenick
Lay Mission Office
We are very happy to introduce our newest member to the Lay Mission Office team…Carolyn Doyle. She brings a variety of gifts and fresh ideas with her….when you throw all that in the pot with Mary and Sylvia, stir it up, you can be sure something out of this world will be brewing!!! Carolyn's main task is to research and develop a one-year short-term mission commitment with Scarboro Missions.
Welcome aboard Carolyn!
By Carolyn Doyle
Short Term Mission Program Coordinator
Lay Mission Office
Hello! I am pleased to be joining Scarboro Missions' Lay Mission Office as the Short-term Mission Coordinator! I was born and raised in Toronto and attended Blessed Sacrament elementary school and Loretto Abbey high school. I hold a Masters in Public Policy from the School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Arts from St. Francis Xavier University. I come from a large family with one sister, two brothers, two great parents and an enthusiastic labradoodle. I was first drawn to international work after hearing a man from Southern Africa speak about the need for funds to build an orphanage in his home country. I was amazed to hear of the reality of HIV and AIDS in his country and the toll it was taking on families. I was surprised to hear that parents living with HIV did not have access to medication that would prolong their lives. As my parents have had (and continue to have) a profound effect on my life, it bothered me that many children do not have the same opportunity. My commitment to social justice was further sparked and I went to Botswana in 2002 to support the response to HIV and AIDS. I have spent nearly seven years living and working in Southern Africa.
Prior to joining the Lay Mission Office at Scarboro Missions, I worked with community-based and national organizations in Southern Africa and Canada. Most recently, I worked at Ashoka Canada where I managed an online competition entitled "Inspiring Approaches to First Nation, Métis and Inuit Learning". As the Coady International Institute's first Xtending Hope Partnership Representative in Botswana, I organized overseas mission visits and coordinated and supported the placements of over 20 volunteer placements in the country. I also expanded a peer support program for People Living with HIV and AIDS from Botswana to Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland. I look forward to contributing my strong commitment to social justice issues to the Lay Mission Office team.
A Tale of Two Schools
By Barbara Michie
Scarboro lay missioner in Malawi
The children at St. Patrick's Primary School have some very wonderful and caring friends at St. Philip's Elementary School. They have never met because St Patrick's is in Rumphi, Malawi, and St. Philip's is in Petrolia, Ontario, but their relationship has spanned the last six years.
It began soon after my daughter Erin visited me in Malawi at Christmas in 2005. When we wandered through the primary school grounds not far from where I was teaching at St. Patrick's Seminary, we noticed that most of the buildings were in disrepair, some to the point of being dangerous. There were cracks in walls wide enough to put my hand through, crumbling cement floors, leaking roofs, and gaping holes where windows had once been. We wondered how teachers and students could function in such conditions. The problem stuck in the back of my mind, but I didn't have any idea at the time about what could be done.
A couple of months later, I received a letter from St. Philip's, asking whether I knew of a project for their mission money that they raise each year during Lent. I thought it could be great for both schools to be sister schools for a while, so I quickly wrote to tell the students at St. Philip's about the condition of the school here in Rumphi. The response was wonderful, and with the enthusiastic guidance of Mrs. Mary Jo Edgar, and the assistance of staff and parents, they soon had help on the way.
When I went to tell Mr. Luhanga, the headmaster of St. Patrick's, he could hardly believe the news. He had been unable to get any maintenance money for the school since he arrived. He said, "Now, God is helping us!"
We sat down with a local builder to figure out what the priorities should be and decided to begin with safety issues, the cracked walls and crumbling cement floors. Parents hauled sand and older students cleared away rubble from parts that had to be pulled down. Soon the first repairs were made, and photos sent to St. Philip's.
The project caught fire, and each following Lent, everyone at St. Philip's worked hard to continue supporting St. Patrick's. Year by year, under the new headmaster, Mr. Chaura, a variety of improvements were completed. New breeze blocks were poured and installed in the window frames, cracked and chipped cement blackboards were refinished and repainted, wheelchair ramps installed and roofs replaced or repaired.
Many of the senior students wanted to study in the evenings for their high school entrance exams, but had no electricity in their homes. When the mission money brought electricity to one of the blocks of classrooms, it was soon filled from seven to nine each evening with keen students.
The school had no library, and this time help arrived from two directions. A parent received a shipment of books from a former Peace Corps volunteer, but there was nowhere to put them. The headmaster suggested removing the wall between two back-to-back empty storage rooms, and St. Philip's provided funds to have the wall knocked down, the new room painted and shelves constructed. After many cartons of books were organized in the little library, pictures of delighted students examining the books were sent to their friends in Petrolia.
Most recently, with the structural problems repaired, many of the dark gray concrete walls of the classrooms were painted to give a brighter appearance.
The students and staff of St. Philip's demonstrated a generous, caring, and long lasting commitment to the Malawian students that brought some surprise as well as gratitude from the children and their parents. Although the school is very poor by Canadian standards (most classes still sit on the floor), they are proud of it, and test results have greatly improved. They can only say of their friends at St. Philip's, "We will pray for them."
Small Steps and Extraordinary Achievements
By Miriam Wheeler (former lay missioner)
and Esther McIntosh
At first glance, Railway View – a small village on the West Coast of Guyana (in South America) - has every possible obstacle to giving poor children a chance at a good education and to leading healthy and happy lives.
The former squatter area is home to approximately 300 poor families, many of whom are under-employed or unemployed (especially women and youth). In addition, there are multiple social issues that plague the community including drug abuse and alcoholism (among both men and women), crime and domestic abuse. But through a new and innovative community-based school, children are being given an opportunity to read, to learn and to have fun. The success of the school is due to the resolve of parents (many of them illiterate themselves) who believe that they can bring about change in their own lives and the lives of their children. The Railway View Parent Committee has made great strides with support from far off places like Canada including a former Scarboro lay missioner to Guyana, Miriam Wheeler.
Background to the Railway View Project
The Railway View project was started in 2010 by a Guyanese, community development specialist Esther McIntosh, through her decade-long friendship with one family in the community. She realized that the two youngest children in the family were illiterate. She began teaching them on weekends with very basic resources. The classes were centered on fun activities and because it was community-based, other children could drop in, with no pressure on them as to how they dressed or whether they had supplies as these were all provided free of charge. Soon after it started, the number of children steadily began to increase; by the end of the year there were approximately 50 children attending classes on the weekends. From the beginning parents in the area took an interest in the classes and joined in to provide whatever help they could and opened their homes for the classes to be held there.
At this time, Scarboro lay missioner, Miriam Wheeler became aware of the program and provided various educational materials for the class including stationery supplies, books, cassettes and other learning resources. Above all she took an interest in the progress of the group which she supported even after she left Guyana. While she was there she mobilized funds and resources for Railway View's first community library and gave talks to raise awareness of the issue of illiteracy in Guyana.
As a gesture of thanks, the community named the local library after her and in 2011 the Miriam Wheeler Community Library (MWCL) was created. The library is entirely stocked with second hand books that were donated by Miriam and other individuals. The library is completely managed and run by a young community volunteer, 16 year old Mandy Roopnarine. In 2010 Mandy was able to visit the national library in Georgetown and get some exposure to the workings of a library.
Orchestrating Social Change
Many literacy projects are classroom based, to the exclusion of the community which keeps parents and community members outside of their activities. The Railway View Project is premised on the belief that irrespective of literacy levels, employment or other social qualifiers parents can make a difference. This point needs to be nurtured and encouraged within the community.
The project has created a space in the community and a role for parents, in managing the project and making decisions on how it operates. Their participation and interest ensures that the project can be sustained and that there is continuity in the home.
Achievements of the Railway View Project include:
- Creation of a child friendly space for children;
- Free after-school remedial literacy classes for children, under the guidance of a qualified teacher;
- Adult remedial literacy classes
- Establishment of the Miriam Wheeler Community Library;
- Establishment of The Railway View Computer Kids class.
- Establishment of a daycare for preschool children
- In 2012, Railway View was awarded the Guyana Rotary Club Award for Community Development
Dear Land of the Free
By Kate O'Donnell
Scarboro Lay Mission in Guyana
As much as Guyana is a developing country and although its share of poverty is evident, there is beauty and richness here that money cannot buy. The first verse of the National Anthem describes this country beautifully:
Made rich by the sunshine and lush by the rains;
Set gem like and fair, between mountains and sea,
Your children salute you, dear land of the free."
Not only is the country itself rich in beauty and natural resources, but the people themselves have a wealth of generosity, friendship and hospitality; these being just a few of the many qualities they have. Of course like any country Guyana has its share of crime and unrest but ask many in Guyana how they are doing and most of them will answer; "Trying by God's Grace." Their faith in God is strong and inspiring. My friend Olive, who is confined to bed and lives in a one room home where she depends on others, always welcomes me with a smile and is always "trying by God's grace."
Another of my dearest memories is visiting Duralie on the compound at the Leprosy hospital in Mahaica. The first time Scarboro missioner Miriam Wheeler and I met her, she greeted us with a great big smile of welcome and she, too, was "trying by God's grace." Duralie could not walk due to the disease and had to shuffle along on her bottom. She welcomed us into her one room apartment and as we followed she was singing, "Thank you God on this day for your many good blessings." We were brought to tears by such faith.
Guyana is a country rich in religious tolerance, having three main religions: Muslim, Hindu, and Christian, and the main Holy Days of each religion are recognized by all and are public holidays. Interfaith marriages are very common and you often have people of two or even three religions living in the one house.
The drive from the airport to Georgetown, the capital, is a mixture of beauty: good roads, not so good roads; poorer areas, prosperous towns; open spaces and crowded streets. You see it all. The city of Georgetown and along the coast is 12 feet below sea level. The former Dutch colonists built canals to drain the waters into the sea, so as you make your journey into the city, you will notice a multitude of waterways within the city itself leading into the Demerara River.
Like any capital city, Georgetown is a beehive of activity: people hustling, vendors selling their wares, loud music, traffic jams, and horn honking. It is amazing just to stand and watch people come and go.
As a former Dutch and then British colony until 1966, Guyana has amazing architecture. The country is rich in its diversity, being made up of six main ethnic groups: Amerindians, Africans, East Indians, Chinese, Portuguese and Europeans. With a variety of peoples comes a variety of customs and celebrations. These include Arrival Day, an East Indian celebration; Emancipation Day, celebrating freedom for the African slaves; Marsharami, an Amerindian festival and also Guyana's Republic Day. These are only a few of the many days that Guyana honours. With both secular and Holy Days of celebration, Guyana is a country that knows how to celebrate. Of course one cannot celebrate without food, which is another whole range of delights to smell, feel and enjoy. I think one of my favourites is the "seven-curry" served on a lotus leaf and eaten with your fingers. Yummy yummy!
I have been blessed to travel throughout quite a bit of Guyana, from the plains of the South Rupununi to the Pakarima mountains, from the rivers in the Northwest, down the mighty Essequibo, and everywhere in between, including the famous Kaituer Falls. This dear land of Guyana is certainly made lush by the rains. However, its people to me are its most precious gems and I humbly salute you who live in the "dear land of the free."

My countryman, the comedian John Oliver, was once asked by a radio call-in guest whether he had ever managed to score an amorous encounter with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. His response, delivered with commendable sang-froid, was:
There's a short answer and a long answer to that question. The short answer is "no". The long answer is "no, obviously not."
Reading the coverage of Destiny's recent alpha, and specifically the reaction to Peter Dinklage's voiceover work as Ghost, this seemed like a good place to ask the question "will adverse reaction to Peter Dinklage's voiceover affect sales of Bungie's first new IP since Halo? The title Sony Sony put at the front of their E3 presentation, and which publisher Activision is expecting to be a billion-dollar franchise?"
There's a short answer and a long answer to that question.
Voices don't sell games
The first, and most obvious, point to make here is that nobody – or to be exact almost nobody – makes buying decisions based purely on who is voicing characters in games. This is not to say that these voiceovers don't matter. Voiceover actors like Jennifer Hale and Nolan North are clearly celebrities in their own right, to the extent that prominent people in games culture can be said to be celebrities. And games can be elevated artistically by strong voiceover performances.
It's hard to imagine Bastion without Logan Cunningham, for example, or Portal 2 without Stephen Merchant. On the other hand, Richard Ayoade was originally considered as the voice of Wheatley. Would that have been better? Worse? Different? Definitely the last, possibly either of the first. But it would not have changed the quality of the puzzles.
Do voiceover actors significantly affect buying decisions? I would say not. The presence of either video game celebrities or mainstream Hollywood actors is I think more at the level of the quality of the licensed soundtrack in a game. The licensed soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is, I would say, better in recognisability, range and coherence than the licensed soundtrack of Watch_Dogs. However, if the Grand Theft Auto games had been terrible, unplayable messes, the best soundtrack in the world would not have enticed tens of millions to buy and play them.
Driving in GTA is fun. Driving while listening to "Me and the Biz" is the icing on the cake.
The same, I would say, applies to voiceover talent. Of course there are superfans who bought ODST, and will buy Destiny, for the pleasure of interacting with the recorded voice of the adorable Nathan Fillion*. But this number is vanishingly small, and Fillion is, after Firefly and Castle, a genuine star. It may have provided some publicity, but how many people's decision to buy Mass Effect 3 was based on the chance to swap lines with a digitized Jessica Chobot?
The simple truth is that games are not film or TV, and players of games have different criteria than "is my favorite actor in this"? Indeed, the decision to hire a big name non-voice actor can lead to a less satisfactory overall product, because these actors are generally more hurried, less available to promote the game and less experienced with the demands of game voice acting.
(Legendarily, Giselle Loren voiced Buffy Summers in the first Xbox Buffy the Vampire Slayer game, with the TV cast otherwise reprising their parts, and did such a good job that, although Sarah Michelle Geller was available for the sequel, Loren was retained to portray her character.)
However, ultimately a workable voice track is a workable voice track – outside the top and bottom of the quality curve, it has a minimal effect on purchase decisions.
In general, the alpha seems to have raised rather than lowered Destiny's stock, with writers who previously had limited interest – such as my colleague Paul Tassi, whose thoughts can be found in the sidebar – seeing the value proposition more clearly having had the opportunity to explore the world a little.
It gets better (maybe)
I realize that the above is, ultimately, just one more reckon on a heap of reckons. However, there are some practical considerations.
I visited Bungie's offices earlier this year. While there, I played the House of the Devils – the "strike" mission featured in the Alpha. At that point, the voice track had not been added, but the feature set was much as players of the alpha last weekend experienced. At that point Peter Dinklage had been cast, and had recorded some voice tracks – fans had recognized his voice in early promo material – but had clearly not read the full script, because the script was still being written.

Re the rise in paid-for digital copies of Mein Kampf, I wondered why people are paying for these eBooks when there are numerous translations available for free via the Internet Archive (IA). This example (https://archive.org/details/MeinKampf_154) can be had in every popular format and can even be read online in the IA's web-based eReader.
The only explanation I could come up with is that a substantial number of eBook readers are either unaware of the existence of free eBooks generally or free digital versions of this particular title, or they prefer to spend money rather than the effort required or they simply don't know how to acquire and load free eBooks into their eReaders.
The research in this field seems to focus exclusively on "sales" as the only metric that matters. However, if we are really interested in understanding digital reading, writing and culture, we also need to look at those aspects of the field that don't involve money changing hands.

Much the way it amazes many Christians how nonbeleivers cling to their atheism.
wouldnt you want to join in the hope and contribute...to actually do something?
Are YOU doing something? I don't know much about your background, but I never got the impression you have an active career in an IT field.
why is is so difficult for thinking people (and he was not a dummy) to process this?
Because it comes to techno-utopian/singularity theory, there are basically two categories of responses:
1) People who get dazzled right away by the hype
2) People who respond with guarded skepticism and say "I'll believe it when I see it."
The second response covers the majority of people.
The first response covers people who DON'T actually think things through but are easily moved to positive feelings by the promise of better things ahead. Some of these people are quite old, and have had this experience many times; a few of them are also fairly jaded by that experience and swing in the opposite direction, responding instead with RABID skepticism in a desire to avoid the pain of disillusionment.
The second category (most people) are cautious adapters: they don't believe the hype, but they ARE willing to celebrate actual achievements and work to further them when it seems possible to do so. The first category, by contrast, covers the "true believers" who believe that ANY hint of progress is worth celebrating and honestly don't understand the skepticism of the second category. Ironically, they find the rabid super-skeptics -- who fall into the same category -- a lot easier to relate to.
Nonsense, it is usually the negative response that is the knee-jerk panic attack. It takes greater care and wisdom to think things through, see what we've done right and where the areas are we can improve and fix, and where the technologies lie that realistically can do these things. Other efforts are political or social, and although these rise also with evolution, it is the technological arena that moves most quickly and is therefore most important.
Yes, though I have no educational background with IT/software/etc, I'm using some of my background and interests to further some things in some small way that I feel will eventually lead to some of the things I believe will make a difference. In particular, I've been working with virtual environments, using my art background, though I have not devoted full time to this.
Also, I'm involved with 3-4 organizations that are involved with both political and also popularization of futurism and accelerated change meme. I've contributed money, and also helped try and get a Singulatarian onto the US ballot. Only one country in the world has a publically announced Singulatarian in it's gov't.
If I was younger I'd probably seek to go to the Singularity University, which I think is the most important one in the world for leaders, economists, technologists.
Skepticism is great, I have belonged to and paid dues to skeptical organizations, unfortunately the people who say we can't do things in the future are the ones who WON'T accomplish anything, and also are usually proven wrong in the process...as has been happening the last few decades with accelerated change.

Turnip And Potato Puree
30 Oct 2009
turnip and potato puree is a flavorful vegetable puree. Spiced with ginger, garlic and others, the turnip and potato puree makes a delicious sauce like preparation that can be used in casseroles. Fruited with apple, this vegetable puree is quite savory.
|Unsalted margarine
|2 Teaspoon
|Yellow onion
|1 Small, sliced
|2 Clove (10 gm), crushed
|Sweet apple
|1 Small, peeled, cored, and sliced thin (Delicious)
|All purpose potatoes
|1 Medium, peeled and sliced thin
|Turnips/1 small rutabaga
|3 Medium, peeled and sliced thin
|Ground ginger
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Ground allspice
|1 Pinch
|1 Pinch
|Low sodium chicken broth
|1 1⁄3 Cup (21.33 tbs)
In a large heavy saucepan, melt the margarine over moderate heat; add the onion and garlic and cook, uncovered, until the onion is soft about 5 minutes.

He scheduled the hearing for Thursday a.m. He left my lawyer a message at 8 p.m. saying this so she is going to add that as another count of contempt towards our sanctions hearings in January. Because he left it so late at night it technically isn't proper notice. But she still has to show for the hearing regardless because she said not going could lead to worse things. So now we have 6 counts against him.
I originally didn't say a word to the kids because I knew it would seriously upset them and because I knew I was going to fight it every step of the way and so I wouldn't have a definitive answer for them until the end. But then ex calls them and tells them he gets them for all of winter time and didn't I tell them this great news??!! Then they got really upset and were questioning me. I told them that as of now they were supposed to visit with their dad at xmas time but I wasn't completely sure of what was happeneing and that I would let them know asap. I didn't bring anything else up. Then their dad told them they were going to miss a bunch of school and be with him and they got way more upset. But then I won the appeal and told the kids everything was ok and they wouldn't miss any school and they would be home for xmas. But now this. I haven't told them anything but this isn't good. I am very angry ex told them anything and the emotional upheaval that I have to deal with is insane. It isn't fair at all to them. Or me. Geez.
I'll let you all know how it goes Thursday.
OMG. Just when it can't get any worse, it does.
Good luck Thursday, I hope things are OK. You said that the judge who suspended the hearing based on the extenuating circumstances had said he would speak to the crazy judge? I'm hoping he did, and let him know that the situation was NOT good for him, and that he was seriously abusing his power.
I'll be thinking about you.
Crazy judge has a peer to answer to now, so maybe he'll be reasonable. How much energy does he really want to waste on ths during hs last week as a judge...really?
l hope your lawyer points out the legality of sending the kids to a halfway house for visitation and the legal issues surroundng his non-compliance wth batterer counseling.

Any news? Silly question cause I know you will post as soon as you can. Thinking of you!
It got pushed to Thursday and yes I will let you all know ASAP.
Good luck again, Avani.
I hope the judge sees through your X and his ridiculous behavior and requests. I agree with smeep. Can it be requested or made known to the court in your case? I would love to have my X drug tested, because he hangs out with the party types, and I suspected him of using something in the past.
sheesh... sending
You will get through this. Will pray for you between now and court.
I have good hopes for you, Avani!
He is indeed so ridiculous - he put his request over the top by demanding the whole shebang, with you transporting, etc. He's not even trying to look reasonable. Sending you positive thoughts!
you know the halfway house is not the issue. its everything that's happening there THAT is the issue.
please note many mamas recovering are living in halfway houses so intrinsincally they are not bad. children in shelters and halfway homes/houses are not a reason to take the children away.
in avani's case its different.
avani i really hope and pray the cycle of possible bribing, evil days are over and finally truth can make her appearance in all her glory. just wish it didnt have to be right before finals for crying out loud.
Thanks, I just now finished confering with my lawyer and getting things faxed to her. It sucks dragging my kids out into the dark, rainy weather and one of them has a fever just so I can get stuff faxed for my ex's lame "emergency" hearings. One of the declarations is my poor lawyer's voice mail's from my ex transcribed. Geez, I so do not miss his voice or his harrassing messages in his "I am so much better than everyone" tone. This is one of the messages from her voicemail
Hi Ms. *Lawyer*, I will be appearing ex parte on Tuesday morning at 8:30. I need to go before the judge and explain what it is you've done behind his back with another judge as well as request the order to have *Avani* drive the children down for Christmas break as he intended before you went to another judge while he was off. I will be appearing at 8:30 and it is 10:30 right now on Sunday night so I have given you more than twenty-four hour notice. Good-bye."
ugh. then he leaves her two more messages that he is disregarding the fact that she can't appear for me due to her having two other hearings on Tuesday morning and he will still be showing that morning. So my lawyer calls the courthouse that morning (tuesday 9 a.m.), between her two other hearings at a totally different courthouse, and asked to speak to the judge about notifying my ex that she couldn't appear and to please reschedule...my ex never showed for the hearing. Then she gets a voicemail from my ex(tuesday 9:20 a.m.) that he is unable to appear on Tuesday a.m. and he will be appearing on Thursday a.m. and he expects her to clear her schedule because it is of the upmost importance that Judge *crazy* hear what we have done.
Good news is we have yet another sanction to add to the January case of him ordering ex partes and not appearing (we are at 6 counts).
I should know the results around 10 am California time.
Jeebus! Still praying for a good outcome in the morning. :goodvibes
I'm praying for you. You are a wonder. IDK how you do all you do and still manage to find it in you to fight the good fight over and over and over again. Good luck today. You will be in my thoughts.
Sending prayers, and positive thoughts out to you today. My gut feeling is that he is not going to show. Sure hope so.
Ugh. Thinking of you today!
Steph, DH Jason (1-1-11), DS Owen (10-3-03) and DS Kai (10-13-11)
My lawyer just texted me he is there and they are heading in now. Crazy judge is there too. My lawyer and I will prevail
Will she be able to present the evidence about the arrest at his house?
Thinking of you. I'll check back later.
I'm praying for good results! Is there any way to make this stop, or to even make him to pay for the lawyer? Can you request another judge? Are they even taking the mental health of you and the kids into consideration?
Good luck.
Our children make a study of us in a way no one else ever will. If we don't act according to our values, they will know.~Starhawk New User Agreement! http://www.mothering.com/articles/user-agreement

Spetman Out As FSU AD, Reassigned To Senior Advisory Role Within Department
Published June 6, 2013
FINDING A FIT: In Tallahassee, Ira Schoffel writes, "If ever a move was begging to be made, this one was it." Spetman by all accounts "is a good man," and he "didn't bring embarrassment to the university." But the bar "should be set much higher than that when we're talking about leading one of the nation's elite athletic programs." While Spetman "might have been a good fit" for former FSU President T.K.Wetherell in '08, that "doesn't mean he makes sense for the Seminoles now or in the future." Spetman during his five-year tenure "didn't necessarily hurt anything, but it would be difficult to point to any major accomplishments either" (TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT, 6/6). Also in Tallahassee, Jim Henry writes reaction to the verdict was "unanimous: Florida State's new athletic director must discover creative ways to diversify the department's revenue stream." While Spetman's "integrity and performance were applauded, the prevailing opinion was that FSU needed a new, dynamic voice to lead and shape the future" (TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT, 6/6). ESPN.com's Andrea Adelson wrote under the header, "Florida State Needs A Strong Leader." Spetman was "simply not the picture of a modern AD," but that is "through no fault of his own." Spetman was "brought in by another president, during a time of NCAA issues, and was never really seen as a strong leader." From the moment he "arrived, there seemed to be a general disconnect with the fan base." Spetman was "never Barron's guy," and when the president and AD "do not see eye to eye on many issues, well, you have problems" (ESPN.com, 6/5).

Letters to the Editor: 03.28.07
I saw a very informative article concerning competition between the Wal-Mart and H-E-B chains. Wal-Mart is planning a new store in the Parkdale Plaza shopping center location.
The article also provides positive news regarding opportunities for the city's unemployed populations. as well as the consumer populations that will be provided with new options for shopping.
However, I would like to mention another very important population, that being the residents in the immediate Parkdale Plaza area. What will the Parkdale Plaza area resident population's options be regarding the Wal-Mart economic and growth initiatives created by the company's plans?
Furthermore, I wonder if traffic will change in this area. I wonder just how merchandise will be brought into the area and at what time.
May I suggest to my friends and relatives who live in the Parkdale Plaza area that they begin to ask the developers and CEO of Wal-Mart: Just what will be the benefits and effects for your neighborhoods from its entry and takeover of the Parkdale Plaza shopping center?

BMXers let down
I would like to make a comment about the new skate park that has now banned the BMX bikers. My son is one of those BMX bikers. He was very excited about the fact that there would be a place for him and his friends to ride and is now discouraged that this park has been taken away from them.
As the other bikers have said, now they will return to the streets to do their biking. I do understand that the metal pegs do cause damage but don't believe that is totally the bikers' fault.
I believe that the skateboards do damage also. I would like to suggest that when (if) this damage is repaired, it should be repaired with metal grinding rails installed so that the pegs don't cause the damage.
I know that this is done in other skate parks in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This could be done much quicker than making these biker boys wait until a 2008 bond election for the possibility of a bike park for them.
Draftees were cheap
As one of the last veterans to have been drafted into the military, I simply must respond to Mr. Wise's letter (March 20) concerning the high cost of the military.
I clearly remember hearing that generation of face-painters and drum-beaters saying, "We don't care how much it costs; end the draft now."
In 1973, my Army pay was around $50 a month. The draft ended and the all-volunteer Army began. My pay went to close to $500 a month. Approximately 80 percent of military expenses are for wages and benefits now.
I wish the old anti-draft people would get those drums out of the garage, put some face paint on and start supporting the all-volunteer Army again. Otherwise, the high cost might inspire Congress to reinstate the draft in order to save money.

Stand-out column
Libby Averyt's column about women and leadership was outstanding ("At Dead Sea banquet, 100 women danced," Viewpoints, March 25). Just goes to show what this writer can do when she chooses a subject with a little meat.
Lots of folks can write the light pieces she does sometimes, but very, very few have her talent. She should win a Pulitzer. Congrats!
Sandy Welch
'Red Star' comment
A day doesn't go by that you come up with another editorial comment by yet another of a long list of left-leaning newspapers. The March 23 edition contains one from the Sacramento Bee calling for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign.
The week before, it was another shot from the left, from none other than what is known in Minnesota circles as "The Red Star," a.k.a. the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. They were objecting to our country's sending more troops into Iraq as part of a new strategy. What in God's name do these people know about military strategy?
Where were some of these same writers when Janet Reno was our attorney general? Talk about incompetence. In fact, the whole Clinton administration was one of our most corrupt and incompetent groups of people ever. And that was during peacetime. So if you insist on throwing this political garbage at us, at least try not to make it so obviously one-sided.
I will give you some credit, though, and that is that you continue to run the cartoon "Mallard Fillmore." Most of your fellow newspapers just print that left-wing gem called "Doonesbury."
Arnold Rose
Backs city workers
I would like the voters of Corpus Christi to re-elect Jesse Noyola to City Council District 3. Jesse Noyola has been the biggest supporter of the firefighters and police officers. The brave men and women of both organizations have endorsed Jesse Noyola's candidacy.
Jesse Noyola has also been the biggest advocate on the council in supporting our city employees. He is a supporter of dues check-off for our city employees. He supports changing City Council elections to November in even-numbered years to get the highest possible voter turnout.
Jesse Noyola was the main advocate to get $7.5 million invested back into the community for affordable housing. Jesse Noyola is a working man and he represents the working people.
Leslie Brock
Slow on projects
In the Caller-Times, Jesse Noyola announced that he is seeking re-election in District 3. I take offense when Mr. Noyola says that he helped secure infrastructure improvements in the Mansheim/Sunnybrook subdivision.
Noyola wants to take credit when it was Priscilla Leal who secured the drainage money. Priscilla Leal organized her neighborhood and informed them of the money that the city received to fix their drainage. Moody seniors graduated and left in 2000. It was two years later in 2002 that Mrs. Leal picked the project up.
Mr. Noyola did not step up for the residents in District 3. Now he says he "will work to fix the infrastructure in our community, especially District 3." After six years, he hasn't been there for District 3, nor for the community. We need a person who will look out for the residents in District 3, including the community, and it is not Jesse Noyola. Priscilla Leal has our vote.
Rosaura Gomez
One showed up
The Czech Heritage Society of South Texas held their annual Czech Fest on Feb. 24 at Moravian Hall.
I was expecting to see a good number of candidates there showing their support. I was very disappointed: Only one, Melody Cooper, came to show her support and visit with us. Where were the other candidates? I guess they do not need our votes.
Jerry Elzner
Firings merited
The Caller-Times has charged that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales violated the Constitution and the rule of law in the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.
As proof of this alleged crime, the paper cites reports that these attorneys had received superior performance reviews and therefore must have been dismissed for political rather than for performance reasons.
The truth is that many high government officials who consistently earned top performance ratings, including a member of the elite astronaut corps, have been properly removed from their posts for cause.
Michael Finigan
Good show
I recently had the pleasure of visiting your charming city and attended a performance of "Guys and Dolls" at the Harbor Playhouse.
What a wonderful performance this was of a delightful musical. I have seen community theatre all over this country and this was some of the best. You have some mighty fine local talent. Clearly, a lot of hard work and determination went into putting on this production.
I encourage all Corpus Christians to go see this musical during the final weekend. I assure you it will be money and time well spent and will put you in a happy state of mind.
I look forward to more trips to your lovely city and to seeing more productions by this talented company.

Timely news
Thank you for the prominently placed article earlier this week advising residents that a mailed offer to purchase a copy of their property deed for $59.50 was no bargain.
That was a valuable public service.

My criteria for judging a publishing house is not primarily cover art, but editors; as they are the ones who fine tune my writing. Cover art might determine sales, but good writing brings readers back.
In the beginning, New Concepts provided Gari Haling as my editor and we developed an excellent working relationship and my learning curve went sky high. The last book with them,"Rachael's Return" received mechanical editing from their "editorial staff" (whatever that might be) and I lost interest.
Since then, I've worked with editors: Gwen Hayes; Ashley Lockard; Stephanie Parent and Diana Rubino; and learnt from all of them. Add people like Marsha Briscoe, Lisa Logan, Patricia Fuller, Diane Colman, Dee Lloyd and Diane Beer, all of whom have contributed to my development as a writer and I've been very fortunate in my choices.
It makes accepting the odd hiccup easier.

Unfortunately, these problems will be solved in the next update

Great work my friend
I have one question before I buy the theme: I want to have my website in both English and Arabic language. Is it possible for me to add an icon or a tab on top so the user can choose? Which means I will have dual interface (RTL and LTR). Thanks.
Hey Bro, i think it's not possible to do it now, JSD not able to add it. i will add it in next update v2.1.
I have it here on http://uzairahmad.com and I think it's a nice template. Keep up the good work.
Hi bro. I'm having the same issue of bxslider not working in Chrome. And your own demo didn't work either (in Chrome). Most of the people who visit my site use Chrome for browsing. It's frustrating to see an empty white space there. What's this and how to fix it?
Alternatively, how can I just replace the slideshow with a simple photo.

'Moving Wall' Vietnam memorial visits Mount Vernon, Indiana | VIDEO
Moving memorial visits Mount Vernon, Ind.
MOUNT VERNON, Ind. - Kay Henderson was taking pictures Thursday morning as the 74 black panels of The Moving Wall were slowly put into place at Riverfront Park. It's a process that often takes three hours or more to complete.
"I come from a large family," the Posey County woman said. "There might be the name of somebody who died in Vietnam that I'm not aware of. I'm gonna look them all over."
She had another reason to be here.
<IF YOU GO>- The mailing address for The Moving Wall is P.O. Box 715, White Pine, MI 49971. The website is www.TheMovingWall.org.
- Items left at The Moving Wall by friends and relatives are collected, boxed and marked at each location. They are taken to a warehouse in White Pine, Mich., and stored at the warehouse/office complex there. A museum is in the works, and all artifacts left at The Moving Wall will be displayed.
- The Task Force Omega of Southern California maintains records For more information on American prisoners of war and those who are missing in action POWs/MIAs still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. The address is P.O. Box 687, Glendora, CA 91740. The e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
- To obtain a Vietnam Veterans Memorial Directory of Names, write to 3055 Prosperity Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22031-2290.</IF YOU GO>
"Our son, James, served in Iraq and came back OK," she said. "The men on these panels weren't so lucky. I want to honor their memory."
Stan Barr, 62, of Boonville, Ind., helped carry the wall's 30-pound panels. He was in the Marines from 1966 until 1970 but never was assigned to Vietnam.
"I joined the service with Robert Staley on the buddy plan. We were together from grade school on up. We thought it would be easier if we went in together."
Lips quivering, Barr paused.
"He didn't make it home. Died in combat. I'm trying to remember which panel he's on. That will be a special one."
The Moving Wall, a Vietnam veterans memorial, will be on display 24 hours a day until Tuesday morning. It's 253 feet long, or about half the length of the permanent memorial in Washington.
It lists the names of servicemen killed during the war. Five Americans were killed in 1959, the first year of the fighting. Eighteen perished in 1975, the last year.
As of Jan. 1, there were 58,262 names on The Moving Wall. About 1,300 people are unaccounted for and are considered prisoners of war or missing in action.
Among them are seven men with roots in Posey County.
Connie Seifert helps coordinate the scores of volunteers who do everything from provide security to making sure there's enough to eat and drink.
"I went to school at the University of Evansville during the Vietnam War. I'm sorry to say that the subject didn't come up very often. We didn't have a TV in the room, and we were busy doing other things."
In March, Seifert visited Vietnam.
"I saw some of the tunnels and watched demonstrations of the trip wires the North Vietnamese used. They would sharpen bamboo, put feces on the ends and bury it all in the dirt. When a GI stepped on it, the ground would give way and the bamboo would spring up into his face."
Seifert was at the riverfront Thursday with her cousin, Tom Juncker, who was in Vietnam in 1970 as a member of a mortar company.
"I went to Indiana University for two years and then got drafted. I was at the park early Thursday when the truck first pulled in. I got pretty emotional, but I'm luckier than most. I don't suffer from any flashbacks," he said.
The 62-year-old farmer plans to visit The Moving Wall at least twice over the Labor Day weekend.
"I'll want to be with somebody. I think that will make it easier," he said.
He knows of at least three men from his combat unit whose names are on the panels.
"But there are lots more soldiers I was with in basic training and advanced individual training before going to Vietnam. I want to look them up to see if they all stayed safe."
Juncker's closest call in Southeast Asia came when his Jeep was hit by small-arms fire.
"The enemy tried to ambush us, but we just kept rolling. Nobody got hurt," he said.
When Juncker wore the uniform, he can't recall a single instance when a civilian expressed thanks for his service.
"Back then, you wanted to get back in society as fast as possible and never admit you were in Vietnam. The folks coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan are treated a lot better, and I'm glad for it."
Juncker watched as another panel went up.
"Having something like The Moving Wall come to your hometown kind of makes up for not being treated so good," he said. "This is something the Vietnam vets can call our own."

Dublin Castle hotels
Dublin Castle
Ireland has long held the fascination of romantics and history buffs around the world, with a long-standing tradition of poetry and prose, myths and legends, and magnificent castles. Irish castles truly put a crown on the world's collection of historic sites and palaces, with the capital, Dublin, as no exception to this rule. The Dublin Castle is a popular destination for visitors who want to discover Ireland's medieval architecture, wander the ornate halls, and learn about Irish royal history. The edifice today stands as a relic to the initial construction following the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.
- Visit the Record Tower of the Dublin Castle at the archaeological remains of the last standing, original 12th century castle, and enjoy the captivating medieval ambiance that once served to administer justice and protect Ireland's royal treasury.
- Discover the incredible Gothic revival architecture that adorns the historic Dublin church called the Chapel Royal. The crypt is now home to many arts events exhibitions.
- Explore the grand halls of the castle some of which are still used today for State events in Dublin, like the ornate Throne Room, the architectural State Corridor, and the breathtaking Saint Patrick's Hall.
The Dublin Castle is located directly in the heart of the city. From Parliament Square, the castle is a few blocks east on Dame Street. Since the site is not only located in the centre of Dublin, but is a popular attraction and put to practical State use, there are many buses that you can take to drop you off in the vicinity. The busstops you should pay attention to are called Lord Edward Street, Dame Street, and George's Street. Taxi drivers are quite familiar with the site, so they are also an excellent choice.

Customer reviews
By Rachel Choong 26 Jul 2010
It's been a long time since I read this book, and I was pleased to discover that upon re-reading it, that none of the magic had been lost.
In fact, re-reading it as an adult shed more light on the author's prose and made me realize just how profound this book really was.
