Certainly the ability to switch-hit in baseball can come in handy, paving the way for a batter to place himself in an advantageous situation against any pitcher they step in the box to face.
Chili Davis and his lifetime numbers of 350 home runs and 1,372 RBI spread over 19 big league seasons seemingly back up such a claim. Among switch-hitters, only Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray and Chipper Jones have slugged more career homers than Davis. That's selective company since Mantle and Murray already have plaques hanging in the Hall of Fame while Jones is a shoo-in to reach Cooperstown upon calling it a career.
To Greg Gagne, Davis' teammate with the Minnesota Twins in the early 90s, being able to differentiate pitches from either side of the plate could have been the decisive factor in the Red Sox naming Davis as the next hitting coach for the Pawtucket Red Sox.
The formal announcement came Monday afternoon that Davis would succeed Gerald Perry, who in October left to become the hitting coach for the Oakland Athletics.
"I thought it was hard enough hitting from one side of the plate. (To hit from both) means you have to be pretty talented and know what you're doing," said Gagne, the former head baseball coach at Bishop Feehan High. "I think Chili has a lot to offer and there's no question he has a lot of knowledge to share."
Davis figures to have an eclectic group of pupils to work with in 2011, the list of expected PawSox including lefties Ryan Kalish, Lars Anderson, Bubba Bell and Josh Reddick and righties Mark Wagner, Yamaico Navaro and Aaron Bates. One player who figures to benefit immensely from Davis' tutelage is Daniel Nava, a switch hitter himself. In his time with the BoSox in 2010, Nava hit a respectable .250 against right-handed pitching. The same could not be said in the limited turns he received against southpaws (6-for-29, .207 mark).
"There are a lot of things he can teach the youngsters coming up," revealed Gagne about Davis, whose career batting numbers were comparable regardless if he selected to hit right (.270 with a .453 slugging percentage) or left (.277 while slugging at a .450 clip). "I think he has a heart for baseball and knows what he's doing."
If the fact Davis thrived as a switch hitter doesn't impress the PawSox hitters, perhaps the fact he was a three-time All-Star and won World Series titles with the Twins (1991) and Yankees (1998, '99) will. He broke in with the San Francisco Giants in 1981 and played in the Bay Area through 1987 before moving on to the California Angels (1988-90, 1993-96), Twins (1991-92) and Kansas City Royals (1997) before winding up in the Bronx (1998-99).
Around New England Davis is probably remembered as the lone Yankee hitter to touch Pedro Martinez in otherwise lauded as the greatest game the former Boston ace ever pitched. Davis victimized Martinez for a solo home run in a September 1999 game at the old Yankee Stadium, a game that witnessed Martinez fire a one-hitter with 17 strikeouts. Davis wound up being one of six Yankees who Martinez fanned two or more times.
Gagne witnessed up-close one of Davis' finer seasons in 1991 while with the Twins. Serving as Minnesota's designated hitter, Davis formed a fierce middle-of-the-lineup with the late Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek and led the team in doubles (34), home runs (29) and RBI (93).
"He was a laid-back guy who was focused and went about his job," recalled Gagne. "I thought he was a big part of our team."
Following his playing days, Davis took on a few informal jobs in baseball so that he could watch his children grow. One of the roles he undertook was that of special advisor for Australia's entry in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. Most recently, Davis had been working in the Dodgers' system, serving as the hitting coach for their instructional league team during the 2010 Arizona Fall League. The move was believed to be an indicator that Davis would fill the same void on Don Mattingly's staff in L.A., but the gig instead went to Jeff Pentland.
Boston director of player personnel Mike Hazen noted the organization had plenty of sources right under their nose when it came to seeking out opinions about Davis. Ex-Red Sox employees John Farrell and Torey Lovullo were on the same Angels' squads as Davis while with the Angels while Tom Goodwin, currently the outfield and baserunning coordinator in the Sox' farm system, knew Davis from their tenure together with the Royals.
"He came very highly recommended from a lot of baseball sources, ex-teammates and people in the game," said Hazen. "Everyone came back with the same universal opinion, and you kind of weigh that stuff pretty heavily."
EXTRA BASES: Besides Davis the Red Sox divulged Monday that former catcher Rich Gedman was named the hitting coach for Lowell. The last six seasons saw Gedman manage the Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-Am League. … Also Cumberland native Mike Roose will return for his second season as Pawtucket's strength coach.

Every Wednesday we'll take a look at the status of the
Rangers' AHL affiliate. Top prospects Mats Zuccarello, Ryan Bourque and Tim
Erixon are key players for the Whale this season - we'll check on how they're
doing and how the team performs as the season progresses.
- On Friday Chad Johnson led the
Whale to a 4-1 victory over the Providence Bruins with 28 saves. Connecticut took seven minor penalties during
the game but killed them all. Scott
Tanski scored his first goal of the season and Tommy Grant, Kris Newbury and
Mats Zuccarello also added goals for the Whale.
On Saturday Connecticut scored
a whopping five third period goals, all on the power play, to come from
behind and beat the Springfield Falcons 6-3.
It was the Whale's fifth third period comeback win this year. Connecticut only had 10 shots through two
periods including just two in the first frame, but Johnson made 39 saves to
keep the Whale in the game. Ryan Bourque scored in the second period to cut the lead to 2-1 and in the final frame Andre
Deveaux scored twice while Newbury, Jonathan Audy-Marchessault and Aaron Voros all scored on the power play. Former
Wolf Pack member Dane Byers scored twice for the Falcons.
On Sunday the Whale allowed Binghamton
to roar back from a two-goal deficit and beat Connecticut 4-3, snapping the
Whale's four-game winning streak. Zuccarello scored twice and Andreas Thuresson added a goal for Connecticut. Cam Talbot made 30 saves.
- The Whale is 8-for-15 on the power play in
its last four games.
- Tim Erixon has missed
the Whale's last four games with an undisclosed injury.
- Connecticut is in first place in the Northeast Division and
sits second
in the Eastern Conference.
- New York re-assigned Deveaux to the Whale after he finished
serving a three-game suspension last week.
- Newbury returned on Friday following a four-game suspension.
- Audy-Marchessault continues to lead the Whale with 22 points
(eight goals, 14 assists). Zuccarello is
closing in though; the Norwegian has 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) in
just 17 games.
- J.A.M. leads the team with eight goals but Zuccarello, Newbury,
John Mitchell and Carl Hagelin all have seven apiece.
- Deveaux has led the Whale in power play goals all season
despite spending a lengthy period in New York.
He added two more in his first three games back with the team and now
has five on the year.
- Johnson and Talbot had gone save for save early in the year,
but Johnson has emerged as Connecticut's go-to-guy. He's 8-3-2-1 with a 2.49 goals against
average and a .914 save percentage while Talbot is 6-4-0-1 with a 2.99 goals
against average and a .890 save percentage.
- The Whale re-assigned defenseman Lee Baldwin to Greenville.
- Bruce Berlet examines how the
Whale has persevered despite losing key players to injury and recalls by
the Rangers.
- Berlet also checks in with
Chad Kolarik, who is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.
- Nick Perri at SNYRangersBlog.com has posted his first
quarter player reviews for Connecticut.
- Jim Cerny reports that Erixon, Zuccarello and Bourque were all at Madison Square Garden
on Monday to watch the Rangers host Toronto.
- The Whale unveiled its new
website this week.
- The week ahead: Connecticut will be home on Friday against
the Hershey Bears and on Saturday against the Providence Bruins before visiting
Providence in the second game of a home-and-home on Sunday.

The world's first insulated tumbler was created in 1946 by Detroit engineering duo Frank Cotter & G. Howlett Davis. Using the insulating properties of air, the two engineers created a permanently sealed, double-walled tumbler that kept cold drinks colder & hot drinks hotter longer than traditional drinkware. With a simple combination of the last three letters of Cotter & Davis' names, Tervis Tumbler was born
The original Tervis tumbler was available in one size that was both tall and cylindrical. Then, in the early 1950's, the tumbler's shape was redesigned and additional sizes were introduced. By constantly refining & improving on the original idea over the last half-century, the quality and durability of Tervis products continues to remain a cut above other insulated drinkware. Today, Tervis offers six sizes of tumblers, along with an ice bucket. This growing line is also met with a sizable & expanding selection of original designs, licensed artwork, wraps, color, etc. This truly makes Tervis tumblers perfect for anyone and everyone!

CANTON Business is better for Main Street shopkeepers this year, as construction that clogged the thoroughfare last year has moved farther up Route 11.
The $9.55 million project to reconstruct a 1-mile stretch of Route 11, from Riverside Drive to Stiles Avenue, has moved farther away from the downtown area and now has Main Street closed off in front of Canton Park. Many business owners said that customers avoided the area last year because of the traffic delays and loss of parking due to construction.
Catherine E. Mathews, director of the Church and Community Program, 95 Main St., said her business is rebounding this year.
Last year, we probably made half of what were going to make this year, she said. I would project that anybody whos got this construction going on in front of them now is probably losing about 50 percent of their business.
She said business slowed down for her last year as customers avoided the village. The Church and Community Program is both a thrift shop and a food pantry that struggled last year while the construction was right outside its front door.
Last year, the construction cut our business by 50 percent, she said. When they take our food, theres sometimes five bags and theyre heavy, and to have to walk to find your car just makes it very difficult.
Joshua Ritchie, manager of Hot Tamale, 67 Main St., said that business this year has been almost back to normal. Compared to last year, a lot of people were looking for parking spaces and they only have a certain amount of time for their lunch breaks, he said. By the time theyd get into town, it took them way too long to get in and out, but this year they have plenty of time to make it through town.
For some businesses, parking was not as big an issue, as they advised customers to use either of the two municipal lots behind the shops.
Rainbow L. Crabtree, owner of Natures Storehouse, said that since her shop has a back entrance, people didnt have a hard time accessing her building last year.
Ms. Crabtree said the construction is not affecting her business as much as last year.
People dont seem to be as disgruntled this year, she said. There hasnt been as much of a disruption to Canton as a whole.
Ms. Crabtree said that she knew the construction was necessary to the infrastructure of the village and that the effort to improve the area was successful.
We love the new sidewalks and railings, she said. We think that downtown Canton has been enhanced and beautified in a way we find very appealing.
Stephen Russell, co-owner of Hair Designs, 76 Main St., said he and his wife, Denyse, had their salons business cards made to remind customers of the construction.
The cards they made for this year read: Canton is almost done with construction thanks for your patience.
Mr. Russell said that because much of the salons business is by appointment, the construction has not had much of an effect on it.
Not all downtown business owners are experiencing better days, however. J. Bradshaw Mintener Jr., whose wife, Marilyn I., owns the Pear Tree, 77 Main St.,said that in some ways, this year is worse because the detour is being enforced.
East Main Street is blocked off totally, but last year you could get through, he said. So were losing the drop-in customers.
Mr. Mintener said he would like the village to put up signs on the meters behind the businesses that will ensure the parking is reserved for customers and clients.
There isnt always a U.S. highway going through the main street of a village, he said. Everybody wants an active Main Street, and well keep working toward it.

Now that sun's warming the planet, plans hatched when the landscape was still buried in piles of white are about to come to fruition in downtown Helper.
Neida Garcia and Lois Giordano set their sites on making their hometown a prettier place to be last November and have been rounding up volunteers and raising funds to do the job.
The co-founders of Helper's beautification committee reported at the April 3 city council meeting that they're ready to start adorning Main Street with some colorful fauna.
"We have 10 huge containers of flowers from Sutherland's," Garcia told the council. "And we have lots of people who volunteered to give us some of their plants."
The council had only one comment for Garcia and Giordano.
"We will bring in the dirt," said Mayor Mike Dalpiaz.
Nicknamed "Helper's beauties" by Dalpiaz, the two women have been buzzing about town the past five months carrying the message that, with a little tender loving care, the town can have a shiny new face.
The pair have recruited so much help that Garcia actually uttered the words rarely ever heard from project organizers: "I believe we have enough volunteers" at the April 3 meeting.
When the flower project is completed, color will hang from light poles and burst out from barrels on sidewalks in front of stores.
While the most recent project required waiting until the weather warmed up, the ladies had other efforts that they undertook with the help of countless volunteers undaunted by snow banks.
In one of the pair's regular reports to the council Jan. 17, the beautification committee listed a number of tasks in the overall work plan were done or about to be completed, including cleaning a ditch at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, designing a welcome to Helper sign and recruiting junior high school students to create art for store windows.
Since first approaching the city in mid-November 2007, the determined duo has easily swept the councilmembers up in helping them carry out their mission.
Garcia and Giordano have steadily shown everyone that vision and a lot of energy is all people need to accomplish goals.
They requested a little assistance from the city concerning the dog droppings situation on the parkway, expressing concern that efforts planned for the walkway would be seriously hindered by canines.
After several meetings and considerable discussion and comments from the public, an ordinance banning the pups from parks was adopted at the April 3 council meeting.
"I want us to be known as the little city that can," said Garcia in her initial presentation before the city council last year.
It appears, month after month, that she is making her wish come closer to being a reality.
What was merely a concept for consideration five months ago has become a working part of the city as the discussions evolved from how to make it happen to how to maintain it now that it is.
The main concern at the last council meeting was the best mechanism to keep the flowers alive once they are planted.
"We have a dilemma on how to get everything watered," Dalpiaz said. "We need to purchase a pump and a container."
In addition, the council pondered the addition of a halftime city position to help maintain among other things the newly spruced up areas.
"We need a half a person the parkway maintenance," said Dalpiaz. "Parkway's been neglected for the last five or six years."
Not only were the dog droppings a problems, but beavers had taken over the waterway, added the mayor.
Beautification fever appears to have spread throughout the council, Councilman Dean Armstrong signed on to help the ladies with finding donations and grant money and Councilman John Jones was spotted last week painting light poles.
In the spirit, Jones reported that R.W. Clyde has offered to build a pavilion at one of end of the parkway that would provide a picnic area.
The momentum doesn't appear to be waning and, despite the ladies' assertion they are volunteer rich, there is still help needed, specifically financial donations to continue the work and projects.
Interested people can give donations at the Utah Power Credit Union. People should make the checks out to the Helper Community Development Committee and note that the donations are for the Helper Beautification Committee.
The donations are tax deductible.

a really bad cartridge, too bad I didn't see the reviews before buying it - no blooket and cutting direction are BAD!!
I like this cartridge. There's no mystery, the images are exactly what is shown. The images are cute, straight forward and easy to work with.

Forty percent of pregnant women in the United States are women who have never given birth. As a group, they sometimes have complications with their pregnancy, but there is no information from a previous pregnancy to identify who might have a problem. Very little research has been done with this group. The Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-be (nuMoM2b) is collecting data from a diverse population of 10,000 women who are having their first baby and are carrying only one baby. The women are enrolled early in pregnancy and undergo research assessments four times during their pregnancies. Data are collected through interviews, self-completed data forms, clinical measurements, ultrasound, and collection and storage of blood samples, urine samples, and fluid from the vagina and cervix. Some information comes from medical records. A subset of women may be asked to participate in substudies collecting information on sleep breathing, sleep patterns and quality, or other areas possibly related to birth outcomes. The goal of the research is to find ways to identify women in this group who might develop a problem with their pregnancy and use this information to improve the health of pregnant women and their babies in the future. The study is focusing on pregnancy problems like high blood pressure, babies that are born much too early and very small babies.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) established the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-be (nuMoM2b) to study women for whom the current pregnancy will lead to their first delivery (nulliparas). About 40% of pregnant women in the United States are nulliparas. Because little or no information from previous pregnancy outcomes is available to guide assignment of risk or mitigating interventions, adverse pregnancy outcomes in nulliparas are especially unpredictable. The underlying mechanisms of adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth are interrelated and therefore will be evaluated as part of this study. The information gained will benefit women who are pregnant or who are considering pregnancy and their physicians. In addition, the knowledge will support future research aimed at improving care and health outcomes for a critical group of at-risk women who are currently understudied.
The study is a prospective cohort study of a racially/ethnically/geographically diverse population of 10,000 nulliparous women with singleton gestations. The women will undergo intensive research assessments during the course of their pregnancies to study the mechanisms for and prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in women in their first pregnancy. The APOs of primary interest are preterm birth, preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
The goals of the study are to 1) determine maternal characteristics, including genetics, epigenetics, and physiological response to pregnancy as well as environmental factors that influence and/or predict adverse pregnancy outcome; 2) identify specific aspects of placental development and function that lead to adverse pregnancy outcome; and 3) characterize genetic, growth, and developmental parameters of the fetus that are associated with adverse pregnancy outcome.
Eight academic medical centers or sites have primary responsibility for enrollment and follow-up of study participants. Several of these sites will collect data through additional academic research centers or nearby hospitals (subsites). A Data Coordinating and Analysis Center (DCAC) provides input to the protocol, managing the data, and analyzing the data. Investigators from these institutions have established a partnership with NICHD staff to develop and implement the study protocol and ancillary studies that acquire and analyze data to identify biomarkers and understand the mechanism and prediction of preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Nulliparous women with an in utero singleton gestation between 8 weeks 0 days and 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy will be recruited through the eight clinical sites and their subsites. Mechanisms have been created in the various prenatal clinics associated with the sites to identify eligible nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies. Once enrolled, a participant will be followed for the duration of her pregnancy by research staff at the clinical site. Study visits are scheduled at four times during the pregnancy: 8 weeks 0 days through 13 weeks 6 days estimated gestational age (EGA), 16 weeks 0 days through 21 weeks 6 days EGA, 22 weeks 0 days through 29 weeks 6 days EGA, and at the time of delivery. Data are collected through personal interview, self-administered questionnaires, clinical measurement, chart abstraction, and collection of biological specimens (blood, urine, cervico-vaginal fluid). Additional data (e.g., sleep breathing assessments, actigraphy) may be collected through ancillary research studies on subsets of the enrolled women. The set-ups for screening, enrollment and follow-up of participants vary by clinical site and subsite. However, in each setting, the clinical site staffs include study investigators, research nurses, research assistants and sonographers. Clinical site staffs are trained to interview participants, collect and process samples, conduct various research tests, and input data. Data are managed at the DCAC. Specimens are stored at the NICHD specimen repository for later analysis.

Game Four: Clippers 114, Phoenix 107
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 05/14/06, 11:05pm:
Power forwards turning in 8 assists? Little immobile 6'3" point guards putting up a line of 28-11-9? A swingman leading all rebounders with 15? A reserve point guard as your leading shot blocker? What kind of shit is that?
Who do the Los Angeles Clippers think they are? The Phoenix Suns?
Clipperblog, with its vast network of sources, had no friggin' idea that Chris Kaman couldn't go for Game Four. So when John and I were introduced to the starting lineup, our dialogue went something like this:
"Are you friggin' kidding me? Put some $%*#&% size on the goddam floor! What is Dunleavy thinking?! Our one advantage is the post, and now we're forfeiting that strength?! What utter bullshit!"
Sure enough, early on, the Suns are able to penetrate the lane once they draw Brand outside. They either convert an easy lay in or kick it perimeter for an open jumper. PHX is also able to capitalize on the Diaw-Maggette mismatch inside - to no fault of Corey's because it's a crappy assignment for him; he's just not a post defender.
But then, the Clippers adjust. They bring in Livingston to guard the ball, which frees up Mobley to rotate - and let's face it, he has that instinct honed a lot sharper than Vlad does. You can argue that Livingston's block of Nash's shot is the turning point in the first quarter when the Clippers wrest control of the game away from PHX.
At this point, John and I say, "Okay, maybe the Clips are giving up size and physicality, but what they lose there, they can make up in speed and length - cut off passing lanes, steer cutters away from the gut of the lane, trap Nash off the screen more tightly. Essentially, make life harder for PHX off the S/R."
And it works. For the latter part of the first quarter and into the second, PHX has to settle for contested jumpers - and not because the Clippers are controlling the paint, but because they're beating PHX to their spots.
Then there's the offensive piece.
"You know, just because you don't have your bigs in there, doesn't mean you can't post."
And this is something the Clippers have come to realize. A "post player" doesn't need to be a 4 or a 5. Sam Cassell is a post player when he's matched up on the offensive end against Leandro Barbosa or Steve Nash. So is Cat Mobley. And so is Shaun Livingston.
So the Clips went to work. Just as we observed after Game Two - the more time the Clippers spend with their back to the baskets, the better chance they have to win this series.
Most of all, this game was notable for featuring a series of chapters on the offensive end for the Clippers:
- The throat-clearing, get-acclimated, let's-pound-it-into-the-block to see if they'll double team - and if they do, kick it out to Maggette or Cassell for a catch-and-shoot chapter. The first quarter comprised most of this chapter.
- Once Barbosa entered the lineup, there was the let's-post-up-this-helpless-defender chapter. Mobley converted a couple of these - and at other times, it opened up opportunities up top or on the weak side. Throughout the game, the Clips manhandled Nash and Barbosa in the low post.
- There was the Elton Brand is exerting his will on the game chapter.
- The "Hey, we're in the penalty; let's capitalize on it" chapter.
- The Vlad Radmanovic has an open lane to the basket anytime he wants it chapter.
- The Sam Cassell is unconscious chapter.
Clearly, Dunleavy has made a conscious decision to leave -- in order to cut off dribble-penetration -- a vulnerability on the rotation. Tonight, that vacuum is filled by Raja Bell. How does this happen? The Clips double Nash off the screen. Nash, trapped on the perimeter, would swing it to Bell, who would then touch-pass it in the corner to Marion. Marion is explosive - and he intentionally dribbles left to draw Bell's man on the double team. And it works. The moment Bell's man (often Maggette) commits, Marion dishes it off to Bell for an open three. Seven times tonight, it worked.
It's a beautiful thing, really. I mean, what's the alternative? Let Marion take Sam Cassell one-on-one in that situation? Where's Brand you ask? Well, Thomas has drawn him out on the weak side perimeter. Right now with the frame frozen, there are four Suns spaced perfectly on the arc - two at the corners, two at the sweet spots - and Diaw at the foul line.
And the Clippers look like Linda Blair - heads turned 180 degrees around this way and that.
And this is why Mike D'Antoni is my favorite coach. Is he the best coach in the Association?
How the hell do I know?
I'm just telling you how much fun I'm having watching this tape. It's fucking ballet.
Fortunately, our thrash metal rocked their Stravinsky tonight.
I should have a Clippers piece up on Slate Monday or Tuesday.
Time permitting, I'd like to take a closer look at the different Clipper lineups from Game Four...but life is calling loudly this week. When it rains...

POTSDAM Mae C. Jemison, who in 1992 became the first black woman in space, has little patience for those who say everything always works out for the best. People must take action to shape their own future and the future of the world, she said.
Dr. Jemison will share this message of dedication and responsibility when she visits Clarkson University tonight.
She espouses one of her favorite quotes, from writers William and Ariel Durant:
The future never just happened. It was created.
Dr. Jemison hopes to have a hand in creating a better future with her leadership of the 100 Year Starship, a collaborative research project to design a spacecraft, within the next 100 years, capable of transporting humans to another solar system light years away.
We have to find our role in things and take our place in the world, Dr. Jemison said.
She offers a perfunctory description of her six years at NASA, and her eight days in space, as an important part of her life, but not a climactic one.
I was thrilled. I was excited. I was very pleased and very comfortable. There were great views, and I was very busy, she said of her time aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
Her life before and after NASA was just as important in creating the person she is today, she said, and she is not done yet.
I am shaped just as much by the time I spent in West Africa, she said.
Dr. Jemison traveled to Africa from 1983 to 1985 while serving as a doctor for the Peace Corps.
She joined NASA in 1987 and resigned in 1993 to pursue her goals of teaching and continuing her research.
100 Year Starship, which is funded by the federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is not really about reaching another star, she said. Its true goal is spurring the massive leaps in scientific understanding such a project would require.
I invite people to join. Its not just about rocket scientists and billionaires, she said.
Dr. Jemison encourages research that spans disciplines, rather than pigeonholing work into a single topic.
The world isnt split up into these small little pieces, she said.
Curing diseases or changing the environment are not just scientific problems, she said.
Those externalities arent just chemistry. They are political decisions, they are decisions around culture, theyre decisions about what people aspire to, she said.
She advocates the collaboration not only between different branches of science, but also between science and the liberal arts.
You really need to have a broad educational base, she said.
She does not yet know whether Earth is in for a bright future, but she does know it is up to its inhabitants to describe it.
Im a short-term pessimist and a long-term optimist, but I do know its not going to just happen, she said.
Dr. Jemison will speak at 7 p.m. today at Clarksons Cheel Arena. Tickets are still available for $10 ($5 for those 17 and younger) at clarksonathletics.com or at the arena box office, which is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. Tickets also will be sold at the event if seats are still available.

Walking around the wooded area in 100 Acres, I often joke to Mike, "I feel like I am in Jurassic Park!"
I know, I know…prehistoric clones do not run amok at this sculpture park, but memories from the past (especially my childhood) jump out at me from time to time. When I see the vines hanging from the trees here, I remember swinging on the vines in my grandpa's woods when I was little, escaping from the pretend Tyrannosaurus Rex. I still cannot help but to grab a vine and swing from time to time.
Also in the wooded area, I encounter a footbridge still under construction. Basically there are several planks of wood set on the ground, ready to be connected as a bridge. Instead of walking around the obstacle, of course I choose to attempt jumping from plank to plank. Again thinking back to my childhood, I remember setting up obstacle courses to test my survival skills. Life can never be easy, because I always have found ways to make tasks more difficult. Challenges make life more interesting.
Finally, I discover two large mounds of dirt near the beach and remember playing "King of the Mountain" with my cousin. Oh, how great it felt to knock him off the top of the large rock we played on and declare myself King (er…Queen)! These mounds of dirt may be shorter than I am, but if I get down really low to the ground and look up them, they look like mountains.
If I constantly challenge myself and explore new perspectives, I can rejuvenate my imagination and use this as a source for reinventing life and art.

VL bad rear brake hub spines / good drum
I used to be Buster but lost my password and I am now Busterman. I have had problems finding a servicable rear brake drum for my 32 VL. I have three brake drums, one has good brake surface & bad slines on hub and two have rust pitted break surfaces and good splines on hub. Can I successfully swap out a hub with good splines to the good brake drum. Does anyone carry the correct rivet to fasten hub to drum or is there another way to do this. Thanks!! Buster

POTSDAM Trustees expressed their support for the proposed Route 98 highway Monday, despite dissent from Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis.
A resolution applauding a proposed feasibility study examining the highway passed 3-1, with. Mr Yurgartis the only dissenter. Trustee Ruth F. Garner was not present.
The resolution is nearly identical to the one passed by the town of Potsdam last week. In addition to supporting the highway, it also calls for improvements to Route 11 and requests the state seek local input in any study conducted.
Trustee Eleanor F. Hopke introduced the resolution at the end of Mondays meeting. She said proposed bypasses around Canton and Potsdam could be the first step to creating a full-fledged highway.
Were not going to get the interstate I think is really needed all in one piece, but we need to build the pieces as we can, she said.
We need transportation.
Mr. Yurgartis said he agreed a study could be a good thing, but stopped short of supporting a north country highway.
I think it makes some assumptions, he said of the resolution. First that Route 98 will be good for economic development.
He pointed to studies from 2003 and 2008 which determined that a highway would not be feasible.
I dont want to presume what the outcome of that study will be, he said. I want to wait and see what the studies say.
I-98 has been the subject of fervent discussion and debate since Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced in January that $2.5 million was being allocated for a feasibility study.
The scope of the study has yet to be determined, but it is expected to focus on bypasses around Canton and Potsdam rather than the construction of an entire highway.
Trustees Ronald Tischler and Stephen J. Warr did not join in the debate, but voted with Ms. Hopke to pass the resolution.
