Letters to the Editor: 05.05.07
Shunning the poor
Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." To the people who want to live in a neighborhood that they consider best to raise their children in, the parents in this neighborhood do not want you or your children because you are not as rich in worldly goods as they are.
What kind of children are parents like this raising? It is written, "As they sow, so shall they reap." Do you really want your children to go to school with children whose parents raise them to hate the poor?

Questions on judge
Not only does Melody Cooper need to resign, but one wonders about Judge Sandra Watts and if she allowed this hearing to be postponed until the day or so after Mrs. Cooper's election to the City Council.
Something does not smell right about the timing of this coming to light. It would be interesting to have the full story.
Sandy Welch
Integrity on the line
Ed Reynolds asks (Letters, April 2) why Police Chief Bryan Smith (whom he praises) would commit rape less than seven days after publicly proposing to a lady.
His question is misplaced. We don't know if the police chief committed rape. We do know, by Bryan Smith's own admission, that after choosing to publicly profess his love for one lady and his desire to commit himself to her in marriage and after securing his fiance's very public acceptance of his proposal of marriage (something he surely could anticipate that she and everyday Corpus Christi citizens and mainline religious folk would understand to include sexual fidelity), he chose to have "consensual" sex with an ex-girlfriend less than seven days later.
Even if it were not rape, what does that say about our police chief's personal integrity? Is this the type of behavior we expect in our leaders?
Those are the relevant questions that should be asked in a case involving sexual misconduct allegations against a community leader. Those are the tough questions, based on facts and not allegations, that we would expect our local media to be asking.

No tax help
A real estate investment trust wants to build a shopping center near Crosstown Expressway and South Padre Island Drive, but they claim that they need tax abatements. If abatements are needed, I have to question whether the project can be successful.
If Sunrise Mall is far from being full and Padre Staples needs to spend millions on renovations to retain tenants, how can a REIT justify another mall? The new one would have to pull tenants from the existing stores, creating more vacant buildings. Vacant buildings usually mean lower tax values.
If the REIT feels good about a 200-acre shopping center, they should be encouraged to build it, but without any help from the taxpayers. Why should the taxpayers be asked to make the playing field uneven?
We need to do tax abatements for industry and manufacturing that create new jobs and add value to goods that are being produced. To abate taxes for retail shopping centers that may cause other buildings to become vacant makes no sense at all. I support their right to build the center, but I don't feel that the taxpayers have any reason to pay any part of the cost.

No need for school
I am vigorously opposed to S.B. 1150 and H.B. 3556, which would create a new school of engineering in Corpus Christi at a conservatively placed cost of $65 million in taxpayer dollars.
This endeavor will be a monumental waste of time and resources.
I am an alumnus of Texas A&I University, or Texas A&M University-Kingsville, where the Frank H. Dotterweich College of Engineering is located, so I know a need for more engineers exists in our state. The Dotterweich College stands ready to meet that need. The Dotterweich College of Engineering currently has the capacity to enroll 200 more students, if those students could be found.
I believe that we should be focusing our efforts on getting more engineering students, not building more schools. House Bill 2978, which passed the House on April 25, creates exactly the kind of programs that will encourage, educate and recruit students from middle schools and high schools for engineering careers.
Building more engineering schools will only diffuse the pool of applicants that already exists.
I call for the withdrawal of S.B. 1150 and H.B. 3556 and for putting our efforts into helping increase the pool of engineering students.

Too congested
This letter is in response to the Housing Authority's proposed project in the Wooldridge area. Residents do fear that little children will get run over in the street because of a lack of area to walk.
If you were to walk from Wooldridge coming from the proposed housing project onto Rodd Field Road, you would be astonished. Do you have any idea how dangerous that street is? Just try going through that street during regular working hours, and I'm sure you would be astonished as to why the Housing authority would even think about putting a housing project there.
I think that the Housing Authority needs to also consider the infrastructure of that area before they just go and put the project in and let the residents of that area worry about it.
Everyone knows that they can't even begin to talk about expanding that road until 2008.
Is that being fair to the new proposed project or to the residents who in 10 years saw a growth of 200 houses, and within months they want to add 200 units?

The real story
Ref: "A day like today," April 27.
For several years I have been reading in your paper that "The natives of the Philippines killed Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippines on this date in 1521."
I beg to differ. Magellan was an invader who had converted the king and queen of Cebu to Christianity. The warrior LapuLapu challenged Magellan in the surf of that island and in a pitched battle killed the infidel.
Your use of the word "native" gives the impression of a bunch of thong-wearing people about half a notch above a monkey. Such was not the case at all. Their society was as comprehensive as ours. It was Muslim.
The pope had given this part of the world to Spain, the other part to Portugal. Where he got that authority from, I haven't the faintest idea.
Please, in the future, tell it like it was.

Cheap shot
I'm still burned about Channel 10 baiting Carisma car wash. I lost a wallet full of money and credit cards. One of the employees from Carisma called me and returned it. This is so ridiculous when the news media use their lust for ratings to hurt a business. They bait people and make it look like the norm. But you never will hear about the good things.
I believe this is very wrong and the public should be warned that before they make a decision on this type of tabloid reporting, they should put themselves in the same position.
I read your paper and find that you are at least fair in dealing with news.
Channel 10 is a step below a tabloid and should at least have to say some good about daily things that happen everywhere daily and not make the people look like complete villains every chance they get.

First impressions
We who live in Corpus Christi have one of the most beautiful cities on any coast. And what does everyone see when they pick up a Corpus Christi phone book? They see lawyers' ads on the front and back page. What do our visitors think when they see this?
It may not seem like a big deal to some people. It gives a negative look and feel for our city. Is Corpus Christi a beautiful city that deserves advertising on our widely read phone book, or do the lawyer's constant ads show everyone who sees it that this is a sue-you city?

Límites y Desafíos de la Agenda de Seguridad Hemisférica
Through its project on Creating Community in the Americas, the Latin American Program co-sponsored with Bolivia's Observatorio de Democracia y Seguridad a June 19-20 conference on "Límites y Desafíos de la Agenda de Seguridad Hemisférica" (Limits and Challenges of the Hemispheric Security Agenda). Discussing security and foreign policy in the Andean region, Arlene Tickner of the Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, and Pablo Celi of the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Ecuador, decried the "community of insecurity" in the region, in which neighboring countries view each other with suspicion and as threats. They noted the close relationship between tensions in the security arena and the fragility and weakness of political systems; in the absence of a sub-regional system of prevention, consultation, and cooperation, the security and political priorities of the United States prevail. Tickner called the anti-narcotics struggle in Colombia a failure, pointing out the increase and dispersion of coca cultivation throughout Colombia between 1995 and 2006.
Minister of the Presidency Juan Ramón Quintana noted that Bolivia's per capita military expenditure was one of the lowest in the region, given the government's other budget priorities. He acknowledged the concern elsewhere in South America for instability in Bolivia, calling the lack of a state or of state institutions the most serious security problem. The government of President Evo Morales was working intensively to establish authority throughout the national territory and to dismantle para-state structures, he said. Bolivian foreign policy was oriented toward the defense of natural resources and sovereignty over resources, adding that Bolivia's neighbors needed greater certainty regarding the supply of Bolivian gas. The government was endeavoring to dismantle U.S. interference in Bolivia, Quintana said, insisting that because there was no one path in Latin America, the United States should adopt a more pluralistic view of developments on the region.
In a discussion of drug trafficking and foreign policy, opposition Deputy Ernesto Justiniano of PODEMOS was harshly critical of the Morales government's anti-narcotics strategy. Coca eradication has gone down and cultivation has increased since Morales took office, beyond the limits set for legal cultivation of coca. Justiniano called Bolivia a "paradise" for Peruvian and Colombian traffickers, pointing to the new zones of coca cultivation in Bolivia as well as increased cocaine production. Eighty percent of Bolivian production went to Brazil, he said, citing statistics from both Bolivian and Brazilian police. Kathryn Ledebur of the Red Andina de Información, meanwhile, noted that the policy to compensate campesinos for the eradication of coca had not worked, and that U.S.-supported eradication policies—opposed by the Morales as well as previous governments--had generated high levels of conflict that radiated to the rest of the country. Finally, a representative of the government's office of Social Defense noted that the success of counter-drug policies should not only be measured in terms of cultivation and production figures. Coca cultivation in the Chapare region, for example, had risen by 19 percent, but the cultivation of bananas, citrus fruits, and oil palms had increased by a much larger margin.
Other participants in the conference included Deborah Norden (United States), Carlos Gutiérrez (Chile), Claudio Fuentes (Chile), Raúl Benítez Manaut (Mexico), Héctor Saint Pierre (Brazil), Rut Diamint (Argentina), Cristina Eguizábal (United States), Adam Isacson (United States), and Cynthia Arnson (United States). A publication based on the conference, edited by Loreta Tellería of the Observatorio de Democracia y Seguridad, will be available in November 2008.

The Department of Defense will hold a press briefing Friday, May 13, at 10:30 a.m. EDT to announce Secretary Rumsfeld's recommendations for base realignment and closures (BRAC). The session will be held in the DoD Briefing Room, Pentagon 2E579.
Press representatives without a Pentagon building pass who wish to cover this event must be at the Corridor 3 pedestrian bridge entrance no later than 9 a.m. to be escorted. Two forms of identification will be required, one of which must be a photo ID.
Broadcast media will be allowed to park satellite vehicles in lanes 1 and 2 in the Pentagon South Parking Lot opposite Gate 5 beginning at 5 a.m. until midnight Friday. Parking will be available for personal vehicles of media personnel in lanes 2 and 3. All vehicles will be screened prior to entering the parking lot. Parking in these designated areas is strictly controlled; use of public transportation, MetroRail or MetroBus, is highly encouraged.

Camera crews who park vehicles in the designated South Parking lanes will be allowed to enter and exit the Pentagon through Gate 5.
Camera crews will be permitted to conduct stand-ups in a designated area adjacent to parking lanes 1 and 2 in South Parking until midnight Friday.

When employers are asking for sick notesWhitten and Lublin | Wednesday, January 8th, 2014 | 1 Comment »
Each year during flu season, many businesses experience shortages when their employees miss work to stay home to take care of themselves or their children. Unfortunately, for many different reasons, employees also decide to go to work despite being sick. One of those reasons is where employers ask their employees to provide sick notes. The Ontario Medical Association is asking employers to reconsider the requirement of sick notes from their employees in hopes that it will encourage them to stay at home, reducing the spread of germs.
When it comes to the law, is it legal for employers to ask for sick notes and does an employee have to provide one? Daniel Lublin provided his opinion on the topic during his appearance on Global News. His interview can be viewed here.

The Legend Of Saint Valentine
Submitted by shehrezad.garda on Wed, 01/30/2013 - 20:38
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during the reign of Emperor Claudius II. An unpopular and cruel emperor, Claudius II was having trouble getting his men to join the military leagues and plunge themselves into battle. He pondered upon why this was, and arrived at the conviction that his men did not join because they dreaded leaving their loved ones and families at home. So to combat this, he cancelled all weddings and engagements in Rome!
This did not sit right with the good Saint Valentine. He believed that love should be nurtured, not ignored. This is why he resisted Claudius' rule and continued to secretly perform wedding ceremonies for young people in love.
But as we know from tales of the past, every action, regardless of how good natured it was, comes with a consequence. When Saint Valentine's secret was discovered he was sentenced to death. But while in jail, he is said to have fallen in love with the jailors daughter. She visited him frequently in his captivity and then on February 14th, before his death, it is said that he wrote her a love letter and signed it "From Your Valentine." Since then, February 14th has been coined as Valentine's Day and this brave Saint's name is used amongst all the lovers out there.

Super skins
Volie make really nice skins. They were easy to trim, easy to pull, easy to apply. I use them with my burton freebird and they fit like a glove. Only complaint is that they don't pack down very small, which is important because I splitboard out of an 18L pack.

First I found that WAP was working with no money on my phone, then that Google has a WML Proxy (wmlproxy.google.com).
It has it's flaws with links on some webpages, and well, doesn't display any images. But it is good if you simply want to read text on a webpage.
So all you need to do is type (err) the address into Google's search (wap.google.com) and you'll be able to view the site.
Doing this I was using a SonyEricsson T300 with GPRS.
No page links to WMLProxy.

Hispanic Heritage Month
"In 1968, Congress authorized President Lyndon B. Johnson to proclaim a week in September as National Hispanic Heritage Week. The observance was expanded in 1988 to a month long celebration (Sept. 15-Oct. 15). During this month, America celebrates the culture and traditions of U.S. residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Sept. 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively." Source: U.S. Newswire

Perry's Son: Romney Is a Christian
7:19 PM, Oct 11, 2011 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
Hanover, N.H.
"You can't control what people who endorse you say," Perry continued. "Mitt Romney has come out and said that he believes Jesus Christ is his savior. That makes him a Christian. That's what Christianity is about. I don't know if there's any other question besides that." The 28-year-old Griffin Perry quit his job at Deutsche bank recently, so he can volunteer full-time for his father's campaign.
Earlier today, Mitt Romney called on Perry to "repudiate" Jeffress's comments. "Governor Perry selected an individual to introduce him who then used religion as a basis for which he said he would endorse Governor Perry and a reason to not support me," Romney said. "And Governor Perry then said that introduction just hit it out of the park. I just don't believe that that kind of divisiveness based upon religion has a place in this country.... I would call upon Governor Perry to repudiate the sentiment and the remarks made by that pastor."

By Nonoy Oplas, Original article can be found at http://funwithgovernment.blogspot.com/2012/06/efn-asia-10-conference-november-2012-in.html
The Economic Freedom Network (EFN) Asia has announced last week that the Annual Conference this year will be held in Hong Kong this coming November 5-8. EFN Asia annual conferences are sponsored by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (FNF). My first exposure to EFN conferences was in 2004, also held in Hong Kong. When we formed Minimal Government in early 2004 -- not yet as a think tank, more of a small political movement for liberty and free market -- I have not met any free marketer yet outside of the Philippines, nor did I have any idea that there were existing regional and international network for free market.
When the Atlas Economic Research Foundation gave me an international fellowship for one month in the US in April 2004, I was amazed at the wide network of free market-oriented think tanks and groups worldwide. But I met only a few Asian free market leaders there. Like Parth Shah of the Center for Civil Society in India, Barun Mitra of Liberty Institute also in India, Andrew Work of Lion Rock Institute in Hong Kong, Jargal Dambadarjaa from Mongolia, Cuong Nguyen from Vietnam, and Ellen Cain of the Foundation for Economic Freedom here in Manila. When the EFN Asia conference was held in Hong Kong six months after that, sometime in October 2004, Atlas, upon the initiative of its Vice President for Institute Relations, Jo Kwong, partnered with FNF and Jo Kwong brought to the HK conference some free market think tank leaders who were not members of the EFN Asia yet, including me. So the HK conference was my first exposure to the Asian free market network. Thanks to Jo Kwong and the FNF. At the HK conference, I was able to meet free market thinkers from China like Dr. Mao Yushi of Unirule Institute, guys from NERI, Chinese Academy for Social Sciences (CASS) and the Cathay Institute for Public Affairs (CIPA) like Xingyuan Feng. From Indonesia I met Dr. Chatib "Dede" Basri, also from India Mohit Satyanand, from Pakistan Dr. Khalil Ahmad, and many others. Below, some of our photos in the HK conference in 2004. Upper left photo, from left: Ellen Cain of FEF, Colleen Dyble and Jo Kwong of Atlas, me, (I forgot the guy's name beside me) and James Lawson, co-author of the annual Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) annual reports. Second row, left photo: Jo Kwong, me, Joe Lehman of Mackinac Center in Michigan, USA and Ugnius Trumpa of Lithuanian Free Market Institute. Bottom photo: Cuong Nguyen, Joe Lehman, Ellen Cain, Jargal Dambadarjaa, Parth Shah, me. Joe was a speaker in behalf of then Mackinac President Larry Reed who could not come.
I have also met many FNF officials in HK for the first time, like Dr, Hubertus Von Welck, then FNF Regional Director for East and South East Asia, Rainer Adam then Project Director Indonesia, Rainer Heufers from FNF Malaysia, Ronald Meinardus from FNF Philippines, Siggi Herzog who later replaced Ronald in heading FNF Philippines. Hubertus later moved to Africa and Rainer Adam took his post, until now. Siggi was promoted to become the FNF Regional Director for South Asia and Jules Maaten replaced Siggi in heading the dynamic and fun-filled Philippine office. The theme of the HK conference then was something like "The Role of Asian Governments in Economic Development". The original plan, I learned later, was to hold the conference in Beijing and FNF would not be mentioned as the main sponsor, but Unirule, NERI, CIPA and Atlas. But the Chinese government showed a not-so-happy attitude in hosting such a possibly controversial conference. Sensing difficulties in securing a permit from the government, and the consequent difficulty in getting a visa for international participants, the organizers have to move the venue to Hong Kong, just a few months before the scheduled dates. This year, the conference theme will be How Welfare Populism Destroys Prosperity-The Populist Challenge to Economic Freedom. This is a good theme, just look at Europe, the US and Japan now. Heavy welfarism, forced equality and forced collectivism policies are punching huge holes in the public finance position of these countries, also huge holes in the pockets and savings of many taxpayers in these economies. The Lion Rock Institute (LRI) will be the co-host of FNF in organizing this conference. Big work for LRI Executive Director Peter Wong and other LRI guys like Simon Lee, Andew Work, Andrew Pac Man, Nicole. LRI was also formed in 2004 along with MG. FNF and EFN Asia are the only institutes that consistently hold an important annual conference among free market-oriented think tank leaders and individuals in Asia. They are playing an important role in asserting the liberal, individual liberty, more personal responsibility, rule of law, and private property rights philosophies in our continent. For interested think tanks, research institutes, especially the independent ones and not government-owned think tanks, that advocate free enterprise, free trade, rule of law, private property rights, check http://efnasia.org. ---------

JURGEN KLINSMANN has emerged as a shock contender for the Everton job.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez remains favourite to replace Manchester United-bound David Moyes
Klinsmann made himself a cult hero in the Premier League for Tottenham in the 1990s with his diving celebration - but he has only managed one club side.
That was Bayern Munich - the 48-year-old got them into the last 16 of the Champions League back in 2009 - although Klinsmann has had spells in charge of Germany and now USA, where he has been in charge since 2011.
The German last year guided America to their highest winning percentage in a calendar year.
FA Cup-winning Wigan boss Roberto Martinez remains favourite to replace Manchester United-bound David Moyes, while Alan Stubbs, Malky Mackay and Neil Lennon are also in the running.

Ray Madrigal, a retired photographer and recurring candidate in the mayoral race, collected $1,500 this period, $100 more than he spent. Records he spent most of the money on a television advertisement and political signs.
In the at-large candidate race, incumbent David Loeb spent the most — $42,000. A majority of the money paid for media buys, according to the reports. Loeb, who owns a company that managers commercial property, is seeking a second term on the council.
Lillian Riojas, a spokeswoman for Valero, spent nearly $38,000 in reported expenses. Most of it went to political consultant Steven Ray and campaign advertisements, records show.
Mark Scott, who is seeking a third term on the council in an at-large seat, reported about $32,000 in expenses this period. He has the highest fund balance of the at-large candidates with $40,000.
At-large candidate Alicia Benavidez, a retired state employee, received a $200 campaign contribution during the same period and spent about $163. No reports were on file for at-large candidates John Sendejar, who is a retired city employee, and John Garcia, a hotel sales manager.
In the district races, reports filed for District 5 showed the highest spending. Candidate Rudy Garza Jr., a real estate investor, spent about $20,000 on mostly printing costs for campaign signs, a newspaper advertisement, a luncheon for supporters and mass mailings of campaign brochures.
Candidate John Valls, a government consultant, spent about $7,000 on mostly media buys, campaign signs, T-shirts and other materials. He reported a campaign fund balance of about $8,900.
In the District 2 race, title company manager Chad Magill spent $12,000 on mostly a campaign event and marketing. Opponent Brian Rosas, who works at Corpus Christi Army Depot, spent about $2,000 on radio ads, postage and campaign mail outs.

The City Council makeup includes a mayor, three at-large council members and five district members. Council members serve two-year terms and are paid $6,000 annually. The mayor also serves a two-year term and earns $8,000 a year. The job is considered part time because Corpus Christi has a strong city manager form of government in place.

Throw Away Your Hammer Stapler and Get a Pneumatic Cap Fastenercomments (1) November 11th, 2011 in Blogs
Video Length: 4:36
Produced by: Colin Russell
For a long time now, hammer tackers have been the standard for installing house-wrap and roofing underlayment. That's about to change. The problem is that staples alone don't meet manufacturers specifications for fastening most mateirals. And that means, by extension, they don't comply with building codes either.

ThruLok deck-framing fasteners
Bosch 360-degree GLL2-80 Laser
Nowadays, cap fasteners are going from best practice to code required. Let's take a closer look.
There are 5 different options, from tin caps, to pneumatic coil nailers. Here's an overview of all the current systems on the market:
Hand-Driven Options
- Tin-Cap Fasteners - Place cap onto the surface and install using either a hammer-tacker, hand-driving a nail, a pneumatic roofing nailer or stapler.
- Pre-Collated Caps and Nails - These caps and nails are long enough to hammer through and are great for installing rigid foam. However, their bulkiness limits the amount you can carry in your nail pouch.
Pneumatic Tool Options
- 20-ga. to 21-ga. Cap Staples - These staples are a great choice for installing housewrap and roof underlayment, but only if its going to be covered by shingles the same day with limited foot traffic.
- 18-ga. Cap Staples - These fasteners come in longer lengths and are ideal for installing roof underlayment as well as thicker materials.
- Cap Nails - The main advantage of cap nails in the extra length the provide over staples. These also allow for the instilation of thick rigid foam.
For more on cap fasteners read "It's Time to Switch to Cap Fasteners" from FHB#224.

I'm looking forward to installing some rigid insulation, but haven't been able to find the 2" nails mentioned in the review...any leads on sourcing these would be much appreciated.

Update: DA investigating case as a homicide
Officials in the District Attorney's office said on Monday that they were investigating the body found in Jim Miller's burning car as a homicide case. An autopsy was underway Monday afternoon on the remains found in the car's trunk.
Complete statement from Miller family:
Vickie Miller and family wish to thank all those who have expressed their condolonces, and offered their comfort and sympathy upon the loss of her husband, Jim Miller. She asks Jim's friends to share her fond memories of the wonderful man that Jim was.
Jim Miller was a life-long resident of Sweetwater. He was the President of Jim Miller Excavating Co. for over 20 years in environmental remediation of underground petroleum storage tanks and other excavations. Jim served as 1st District Chairman of the Republican Party and recently as the Chairman of the Monroe County Election Commission. Jim was always the first to answer the call of any city, organization, or member of the community in need. He will be sorely missed.
We request that the press and public respect the family's privacy in this time of grief.
Vickie Miller
Update: Family members report Miller's death, say car belongs to Monroe County GOP official
The burning car discovered by a sheriff's deputy Saturday night belongs to Jim Miller, Election Commission Chairman and First District Chairman for the Monroe County Republican Party, a family member told 10News.
The family member also confirmed Miller had been missing, but said investigators were not sure if it is his body that was discovered in the car's trunk. According to the family, an autopsy will be performed to determine the victim's identity.
Sunday evening, Miller's family released a statement thanking the community for their support.
"Vickie Miller and family wish to thank all those who have expressed their condolences, and offered their comfort and sympathy upon the loss of her husband, Jim Miller. She asks Jim's friends to share her fond memories of the wonderful man that Jim was," the statement reads.
Some community members told 10News that they have heard the body in the car is that of Jim Miller. They also said they were told by people at two separate churches Sunday morning that Miller had been shot. That has not been confirmed by authorities.
Previous story:

I hope Corbin Bernsen is also there.
Quote Calypso: I have never thanked you, HP, for posting all the messages from Corbin Bernsen. I have read most and want to thank you for keeping us in the loop. Very touching reports from him. I will not miss the "Tribute Show". Thanks.
You're welcome, Calypso. I am so glad Corbin has been posting these very touching messages. I hope he will write that book someday soon. I know it would be a great read. I won't miss the tribute show for Jeanne either, and I'm sure I'll need a couple of hankies.
Quote Grendel: I hope Corbin Bernsen is also there.
Grendel - I believe Corbin will be included in the tribute for Jeanne and will be in character as Paul's brother Father Todd.
Hi, Everyone. Hope you are all having a nice Saturday. Corbin posted this about 11 hours ago:
Quote HOT PINK: Hi, Everyone. Hope you are all having a nice Saturday. Corbin posted this about 11 hours ago:
"I was thinking back this evening to last Christmas, New Year's Eve. So much potential I thought. So many surprises in store. Hard work had created an alignment where the fruits of my labor will be rewarded. I never saw this. THIS surprise. My mother's passing. My mother dying? Not this year. 2013? The numbers and their order aren't particularly meaningful or poetic or romantic so certainly nothing like loosing my mother, this power, this force, nothing like that could happen, not with those numbers. Inventions, new medicines, new technologies... those are the things of numbers like 2013.
Do any numbers add up, have an order that is purposeful
enough to take a parent? A brother? A sister? A best friend? Of course not. It is always a surprise.
I was away with my family last Christmas. I didn't spend my mother's last Christmas with her. I spoke to her, but I wasn't here with her. My mother loved Christmas. She loved her tree. She loved to give and wrap gifts. I didn't see that this last time around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ruined over it. Just another random observation. All of this has been so very unexpected. But that is when life is most powerful, when you don't see it coming and suddenly it's upon you with it's full force and beauty and mystery.
Moral? None that you don't already know. Enjoy the moment, each second of every moment. Live it like the next will never exist. Let Love and Light fill it, cherish it.
I was heading to bed, half asleep when this thought struck me. I had no idea I was going to write it down. I did. And will sleep better for it.
I would say goodnight to my mother and "I'll see you tomorrow." Her simple reply was always the same, "God Willing." God Willing."
So touching. When I heard of Jeanne's passing, I cried like a baby. I will miss her as Kay, I loved her feisty ways. I know when this tribute airs on Tuesday, I am going to need a box of kleenex. Young and Restless, will never be the same.
I am so glad JC's family is included in the tribute.
Good Sunday Morning! Here's Corbin's latest message. I find myself looking forward to reading his beautiful words every day.
I just finished reading Jeanne Cooper's book and I loved it. The love she had for her family and friends just came pouring out in the pages. Her desire to help other people from being abused,substance abuse, cruelty to animals, and even being a spokesperson for people in financial debt. She also was honest about her flaws and never gave up. I took away from her book that she was a very loving, strong person and she was also grateful for everything she had her in her life especially her children. She seemed like an extraordinary lady and I will miss her so on Y&R. I'm looking forward to her tribute but I'm sure it will be very emotional. RIP Jeanne Cooper, you certainly will never be forgotten.
Great post Cat!
Quote countryMomof4: Great post Cat!
I will see the tribute tomorrow on the CDn channel. I'm both looking forward to and dreading it at the same time. It will be wonderful to hear the memories of her co-workers and children but at the same time, it will SO SAD!!!
I feel the same cMom!!!

New Mexico Lobos Softball – 2014 Season Review
By Richard Stevens – Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
It was a season that ended with Coach Erica Beach throwing out challenges to a lot of Lobos including Erica Beach.
"My challenge to myself is to improve our pitching," said Beach. "That absolutely has to happen. We are realistic in knowing we gave up too many runs and we know that needs to change."
The University of New Mexico sticks were fine most of the time in 2014. But just like stellar hitting can take the pressure off the circle, clutch pitching can take pressure off the hitters. Beach said her young Lobos of 2014 too often were placed in a situation where they had to score a lot of runs in order to stay in a game.
UNM had too many games with scores like 11-10, 12-9, 9-6, 11-9, 8-6 – games in which UNM had to come up big at the plate in order to be competitive. UNM averaged 9.1 runs in its 16 wins because usually it needed to score a lot of runs in order to win. The Lobos had no shutouts in 2014 and only once in a Lobo loss held the opposition to under four runs.
"Our offense did a fantastic job in keeping us in games and getting us wins," said Beach.
Beach said the Mountain West season of 2014 was frustrating because her Lobos were good enough on offense and defense to be a contender. But even in MW victories, the Lobos were called upon to be extremely productive at the plate. The Lobos beat Fresno State 11-9, beat UNLV 11-10, beat Utah State 20-3 and beat NCAA qualifier San Diego State 8-6.
But the Lobos also were on the other end of high-scoring games. They gave up 22 runs to SDSU in two losses, gave up 29 runs in two losses to Fresno State and gave up 22 runs in two losses to UNLV.
"As a coach, I'm disappointed we didn't compete in conference for the title," said Beach. "I think we can beat every team in the conference. We simply let too many games get away. It was a bitter-sweet season. I could see a lot of good thing, but there also were a lot of games we should have won and things we should have done better."
The Lobos finished 16-36 overall and 7-17 in Mountain West play with five of the MW wins coming against the top five teams in the league race.
The Lobos had three players named to the All-MW team: Brandi Heimburg and Willow Kalinen on the first team and Naomi Tellez on the second team. Heimburg finished the regular season ranked in the top 30 as one of the more difficult batters to strike out. She struck out only six times in 147 at-bats.
"Brandi was the spark we needed in our lineup," said Beach. "We could always count on her to have a great at-bat and she gave our lineup confidence. She is a tough hitter to face and it was fun to see how well she performed."
Kalinen ran away with the Mountain West's hitting crown. She was the top hitter in MW games at .535 with Heimburg second at .471. Heimburg was No. 2 in MW games in hits with 40.
"We played better in conference than we had in the past. We never went out there and failed to compete," said Coach Beach. "One thing that really impressed me about the season was the way the young players stepped up and matured and grew as players. They really played with confidence and authority. There was a lot of growth from the beginning of the season and that maturity will carry over to next season.
"We had some rough patches as a team, but I was proud of how the players adjusted and played tougher and tougher and never took to the field without a warrior's mentality."
The Lobos ended the season with six players with 70 at-bats or more hitting .295 or better: Kalinen at .414, Heimburg at .388, Tellez at .369, Mariah Rimmer at .308, Chelsea Anaya at .299 and Shelbie Franc at .295.
Tellez had the team's best slugging percentage in that group at .586. UNM hit 32 home runs on the season with Tellez and Jasmine Casados tying with 15 dingers each. Tellez led the team with 43 RBIs and Rimmer led the team in runs scored with 30. Jordan Sjostrand had the top fielding percentage at .994.
The Lobos hit .297 as a team and had a .959 fielding percentage. They bumped that batting average to .312 in conference games, good for the fourth spot out of nine teams.
The pitching staff ended with a combined 7.66 ERA with Lauren Soles having the best ERA at 6.14 followed closely by Carrie Sheehan at 7.00 and Lisa Rodrigues at 7.38. The Lobos' Achilles Heel during the season might have been walks as they issued 271 free passes compared to opponents allowing 129 walks. UNM's ERA in league games was 8.36 – last in the conference.
Beach, a former All-American hurler at Arizona State, says the growth of her pitching staff is her No. 1 priority for next season. The SDSU Aztecs won the league by allowing 58 earned runs in MW play. UNM allowed 182.
"Our pitchers each have strengths and weaknesses, but they have enough pitches to be very good," said Beach. "They just need to learn how to go out there and throw the way they are capable of throwing.
"The mentality became a problem and too often they went out and beat themselves. They need to get mentally tough and they need to do a better job of throwing strikes when they need to. It was frustrating because as a coach you see the talent and the potential is there. The physical part is the easiest to coach. The mental part is tougher and a huge part of being successful in the circle is the mentality, the toughness, the grit of knowing how to grind it out and win battles.
"We need to be tougher in the circle."
One area of the 2014 season that didn't lack toughness was the schedule. Beach has traditionally tested her Lobos in the preseason. UNM opened the 2014 season at 1-13 and a young team had to scramble to rebuild its confidence heading into Mountain West play.
"We are still going to challenge them with our schedule, but maybe not go so crazy next year," said Beach. "This (2014) was probably our toughest schedule ever and we took some early hits.
"Our goal each season is to put a better product on the field and I could see the growth in our program."
2014 Lobo Team Awards:
Brandi Heimburg – Offensive Player of the Year.
Mariah Rimmer & Chelsea Anaya – Co-Defensive Players of the Year
Naomi Tellez – MVP
Jordan Sjostrand – Academic Achievement Award
Willow Kalinen – Most Improved Player
