You think about your home renovation? Any contractor, renovation Portland will tell you that the best place to start with the kitchen. Well, the whole house seems to converge at this point. This is where all family members and guests converge. Remaking your kitchen can literally change the entire landscape of your home.
First, you need to start with all of your appliances. This includes a refrigerator, toaster, silverware, microwave, and dishwasher. If they are within ten years, you can get rid of them and replace them with new items. It's a good idea, if possible, to get everything from one company that you really like. Moreover, all equally, and it gives your kitchen "matching" to see it.
Second, the tops should be changed. It is good to use your kitchen space and over time, burned marks and scratches begin to accumulate on them. Purchase of these items can easily be one of the most expensive parts of your entire process of remodeling a kitchen one of the best materials to use granite, although it is almost one of the most expensive.
Third, the cabinets on at this point, you decide if you want to replace them or use your existing there. If you decide to use existing, they must be sanded and polished. This is a cheaper route to take, but the new cabinet will definitely look better and be more modern Bathroom Remodeling Portland. Fourth, think about the sex aspect. Remodeling the kitchen floor with the right material will emphasize all around the room. You have several choices: laminate, ceramic, wood, vinyl and linoleum. Quality varies greatly among the five materials.
Before you start anything you really want to go to a bookstore and look at a few magazines at home. Take some kitchen layouts you really like and would like to have in your own home. Then you need to set a budget. Identify yourself or with your spouse that you can afford. Make sure you set the exact figure you both feel comfortable and do not go for that amount.
Some people have the skills to do it themselves. When you do all to remake itself, you can actually do more of what you want, because labor will be free. Your only cost will actually be material. But you cannot have the experience or the necessary tools to do it correctly and that it was cheaper, you may find that you do not get the exact look you want.
Call up some Kitchen Remodeling Portland contractors and see what they are willing to do the work for. In this economy, you may be surprised. Many contractors in Portland, who work in the fields of reconstruction is not as busy as they once were and will charge a little less than it was two years ago.

Buick Century
I have a 92 Buick Century, mileage 83598, engine size 3.3. Need to replace harmonic balancer. Having problems getting bolt off. Is it right or left threaded? Suggestions on how to get it off? Already tried impact wrench. Guess air compressor wasn't putting out enough air? Please help!

July 26, 2007.
Your guess about air pressure is probably right. The center bolt holding the hamonic balancer to the crankshaft is normal thread. Clockwise - Tight. Counter-Clockwise - Loose. The bolt, however, is torqued to 219 ft lbs. At the factory, pretty tight. . I recently did one for a friend. The 'rotor' for the ignition mounted to it became loose and stopped the car from starting. I zipped it off with an air gun. Ingersal Rand, 1/2 drive, long shank, air hose pressure at 125 psi. No problem.

|Fascial relationships of the short saphenous vein.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11496275 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to define the relationships between the short saphenous vein (SSV) and the fasciae of the leg, including the muscular fascia (MF) and the membranous layer (ML) of the subcutaneous tissue.
METHODS: Fascial relationships of the SSV were evaluated by means of dissection in 30 cadaveric limbs and by means of duplex sonography in 270 healthy limbs from living subjects.
RESULTS: All along the leg, the SSV courses in a flat compartment delimited by the MF and the ML. Neither results from dissection nor results from sonographic examination demonstrated piercing of the MF by the SSV. A hyperechoic lamina similar to a ligament connects the SSV to the fasciae by which it is encased. An SSV tributary and collateral vessels course out of this space and are devoid of any fascial wrapping.
CONCLUSIONS: The SSV does not correspond to the classical description of a "superficial" vein. In fact, from the anatomical point of view, the SSV is an interfascial vein, because it is encased by two connective fasciae, just like the greater saphenous vein. Fascial relationships of the SSV suggest that muscular contraction potentially influences the caliber and hemodynamics of the SSV. In addition, the ML is arranged as a sort of mechanical shield that could counteract dilative pathologic conditions in varicose limbs.

I have been having really tight calve issues, however, after taking a week or so off for rest. Just swimming mostly...I had a half marathon a week ago that I already registered for and ran. My calf pain went away but the whole time I had a pulling straining sensation on the front part of my leg...stretching from my forefoot to a but up my shin...maybe 3 inches. After the race it was sore for a while, but after icing and rest it went away but calve tightening is back. Last week it was feeling so much better that on Saturday I went for a 6 mile run. Calves were a bit tight, but not bad. After the run the weird strain was back and calves no longer hurt. All yesterday it hurt to even walk. Today is a bit better but still limping. I'm very depressed about this. Anyone have something similar happen?
Your pain is most likely tendonitis . When you say forefoot, which toe is it leading to, and also where on the foot is it leading, drawing a line where the pain is and taking a photo and posting it would help diagnose the problem.

|Perspective: A Framework for Career Paths in Health Systems Improvement.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23165276 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The difference between the U.S. health care system's potential and the outcomes it delivers is vast and well documented. Fortunately, many medical trainees recognize this challenge and aspire to careers that will enable them to help close this gap by improving the systems of care around them. However, the career paths in health systems improvement are not well defined, and interested trainees are frequently left without clear direction. The circuitous and often serendipitous routes that many current leaders in health systems improvement-including medical researchers, health system managers, and policy experts-have navigated to reach their positions of influence do not provide consistent road maps for the trainees who wish to follow in their footsteps.The authors of this Perspective propose a framework to guide career development in health systems improvement. The framework is designed to help medical trainees and their mentors critically analyze various career options in three core focus areas (research, policy, management) and the intersections where those areas overlap (policy advising, implementation science, policy translation).The authors provide examples of the types of work done in each focus area and each intersection to help trainees make explicit decisions concerning skill development and to select opportunities that best fit their interests and strengths. In all, the authors intend the framework to support the development of a generation of physician leaders equipped to drive the improvement that the U.S. heath care system requires.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Greg A. Bedard has an interesting take today on the Packers duel with CB Tramon Williams. Though it's unclear if the Packers reduced their tender offer to the restricted free agent after he didn't sign ahead of Tuesday's deadline, what is known is that the Packers are in a tough spot here.
As Bedard points out in this story , Green Bay doesn't want to anger its best defensive back, particularly since Al Harris is 35 and coming off knee surgery and since the rest of the Packers DBs are unknown quantities. Yet, Williams also stands to lose millions of dollars in compensation if Green Bay actually decided to reduce that offer to 110 percent of his 2009 salary.
Bedard has an interesting theory why Williams, entering his fourth season in the league, is willing to play salary chicken. It's because the Packers gave RB Ryan Grant a four-year, $20 million contract in 2008. As Bedard writes:
Up until that point, the Packers had been decidedly disciplined in how and when and to whom they gave contract extensions to. It was a big reason why they got in good cap shape in such a hurry after Mike Sherman.
The players that got new deals had put in their time, signed their tenders and just played along with the program.
But the decision by (Russ) Ball and Ted Thompson to do that deal then with Grant eroded much of what the Packers had done previously
So when the Packers gave Grant that deal, after his first accrued season in the NFL, his first with the Packers, after 15 games played and seven regular-season starts, they set the stage for guys like Williams to want theirs.
He and they have a point.
How can the Packers give Grant his deal, yet refuse to give the same kind of deal to Williams after he did everything they asked of him for three seasons and he started more than twice as many games as Grant (20 - 10 last season)?
Can the Packers tell Williams that Grant was more valuable when he got his contract? I don't think so.
Stay tuned. This will turn out to be an interesting result.
UPDATE (2:40 p.m.): Bedard reports Williams signed his $3.1 million tender offer before Tuesday's deadline. Strange that the Packers didn't, you know, immediately tell the NFL about this bit of news.

For college basketball programs, the non-conference slate is the equivalent of a thief casing his next big heist.
What you learn, and how you prepare to overcome any potential hazards, could mean the difference between success and failure.
After four games, the Cougars (3-1) know the easiest way for them to get caught in the NSIC.
The Cougars (3-1), who posted a predictable but too-close-for-comfort 78-64 win over a gritty Dakota State (2-5) team Saturday night at the Stewart Center, must both find and maintain their energy for two halves of basketball.
"First and foremost, you've got to be happy with any win," USF head coach Travis Traphagen said. "It's a funny team that we have right now—the tough thing is trying to be positive but there is a lack of energy and not playing with passion."
"You talk about a stepping stone and wanting to get better each and every game to get ready for conference play and I don't know if we necessarily took a step forward tonight," he added. "There's going to be a lot to learn from the film."
It is unsettling, but understandable, that the Cougars again looked out of sync early, with starters Holli Aggen and Amber Paden out with knee injuries and leading scorer Laura Johnson battling the flu. In fact, Traphagen used his fourth different starting lineup in as many games.
"We can't make that excuse all the time about two starters not playing," Traphagen said. "This gives some kids some great opportunities to step up and we're just not finding some of those things right now."
After six lead changes and one tie, a sluggish USF squad held a 38-33 advantage at halftime. The Cougars trailed by as much as 10 but responded with a 22-7 spurt to take the five-point lead into the locker room. They also forced their intra-state rival into 10 first half turnovers.
Mikenna Greathouse and Jaicee Ulmer led the Cougars with nine points each. Bailey Bouman had five points and five rebounds at the break.
Dakota State came out of the break energized, though. The Lady Trojans chipped away and a layup by Alyson Drooger pulled DSU to within one, 52-51, with 12:11 remaining to bring a packed visitors' section to its collective feet.
USF finally showed some urgency and pulled away for good with a 10-2 run over the next three-and-a-half minutes to push their lead to 64-53. The run started with a layup by Teagan Molden and Greathouse added five points near the end of the spurt.
Junior guard Chrissy Strassburg provided a major moment, stealing a ball that she kicked to Rushton for a three-pointer to force a DSU timeout.
"That energy play allowed us to get going," Traphagen said. "We talk to our kids about that all the time, there's so many ways in a basketball game to make an energy play that's not just making a basket—it might be taking a charge or making a great pass but we've got to feed off that."
The Lady Trojans never got closer than seven the rest of the way.
It was a coming-out party for Greathouse, as the Kansas City CC transfer tallied career-highs in points (19) and rebounds (16) for her first double-double as a Cougar.
"She did some really good things here tonight, but we've got to get her better defensively," Traphagen said. "I'm going to be the first one to throw that out there for as much praise as I'm going to give her on the offensive end and on the glass."
Alyssa Rushton was USF's unsung hero, adding 10 points (seven in the second half) on 4-for-8 shooting to go with six rebounds. Ulmer finished with 12 points and Bouman had 10 points and six boards. Molden and Johnson each had eight points.
Dakota State was led by 6-foot-1 center and Sioux Falls O'Gorman product Katy Pillar, who scored 17 points on 6-for-15 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and two assists.
Despite continued struggles from the perimeter, where they made just 5 of 20 from beyond the arc, USF shot 42.3 percent from the field. The Lady Trojans shot an identical 42.3 percent from the floor and were held to 64 points, nearly ten less than their season average.
The Cougars dominated the glass all game, winning the rebounding battle 49-29, including 21 offensive rebounds.
"The reality is that we made some plays down the stretch," Traphagen said. "I am happy with the win, but we have a long ways to go to be able to get ready to be able to compete against Southwest Minnesota State next Saturday."

In launching the prestigious nationwide DAISY program at Angel Medical Center, hospital officials presented an emergency room nurse, Susan Johnson, R.N., CNOR, with the Fall DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing. Nominated by a co-worker, Johnson is recognized for being a dedicated advocate for her patients, and for giving her all wherever and whenever help is needed.
"One example of her work ethic came in the middle of the night with a multiple vehicle accident. What could have easily been a code black situation was handled in-house under Susan's direction. Not only did she successfully handle a code black, but during all this she noticed a patient's family member in distress over what to do with their injured dog," said Cara Smith, ER RN. "Susan called her personal veterinarian, arranged for the vet to come to the office in the wee hours of the morning, and provided directions for the family to get to the vet. Talk about going above and beyond. She is a DAISY nurse if I've ever seen one." Smith was the Spring recipient of the Daisy Award who nominated Johnson.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses was founded by The DAISY Foundation (for the elimination of Diseases Attacking the Immune System) in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by his parents after they experienced firsthand the skills and compassionate caring of their son's nurses.
Angel Medical is a Mission Health member hospital, and Mission Health's DAISY Award Committee selects two nurses each year, one in the spring and one in the fall, from among the many nominees. The honoree is presented with a certificate commending her or him for being an "Extraordinary Nurse." The certificate reads: "In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people." The honoree also receives a handmade sculpture called A Healer's Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.
Coworkers and the public are invited to nominate a special nurse who has given extraordinary care by going to www.missionhospitals.org/daisy.

Finding a lossless format for itunes and windows media player
Finding a lossless format for itunes and windows media player

Good morning
I am having a very frustrating time trying to find a suitable audio format that I can use in my home network and hope that someone may have a solution.
As an ipod user, I ripped my entire CD collection (500 ish) to the apple lossless (ALAC) format using EAC and itunes encode. I use my ipod in the car as a CD changer, and I purchased a couple of Slim Devices Squeezebox 2's to stream music in the house.
SQ is more important than file size and this is why I chose a lossless format.
I have now recently built myself a Home Theatre PC running Windows Media Center - its main purpose is to house all of my media files (TV, audio and pictures) in one place. It is connected to the screen in the kitchen, and I am going to buy an Xbox 360 to act as media center extender in the lounge. Since the Xbox will only be able to retrieve media files through Windows Media Center, I would like to find a format that will allow me to do this, and therefore not need a separate squeezebox.
I have read a little about the incompatability between itunes and WMP, but it seems that both can play WAV flies, which although disc space hungry, would be acceptable.
This is where the problem starts - I've tried ripping WAV files in iTunes, in WMP, and in EAC but there doesn't appear to be consistency between the folder types.
The ability to capture Album artwork etc through WMP is appealing, particularly when using media center, but although using these different methods is recognised by the different programmes, the file structures which are so important for searching disappear.
Is there a method of ripping WAV files so that they can be viewed in correct folder structures by both itunes and windows media player?
Any help as always would be gratefully received.
Best wishes

This is where the problem starts - I've tried ripping WAV files in iTunes, in WMP, and in EAC but there doesn't appear to be consistency between the folder types.
The ability to capture Album artwork etc through WMP is appealing, particularly when using media center, but although using these different methods is recognised by the different programmes, the file structures which are so important for searching disappear.
Firstly there is no lossless format which is shared between WMP and iTunes. It's vaguely possible that WMP could be persuaded to play ALAC by writing a DirectShow filter based on the reversed engineered ALAC decoder however no one has any incentive to do it as there are other open formats that can be used like FLAC and it would probably get up Apples nostrils to the point of sueing people.
Secondly the folder arrangement doesn't matter much if all the files are tagged correctly, obviously this means ripping to a format which supports tagging.
Thirdly album arts is something that all libraries handle differently, for example iTunes stores the art in a metadata field inside the music file. This is horriffically inefficent as it ends up storing multiple copies of the same image.
Windows Media Player uses a scheme where all tracks from the album must be in the same directory and it looks for a file called "folder.jpg" in that directory.
There are a couple of things you could do depending on what OSes you have access to.
*** If you only have access to Windows:
1) Rip to FLAC using EAC
2) You can play FLAC in Windows Media Player/Center if you install
Which provides a FLAC directshow filter
Which extend the tagging support in WMP so it can read metadata from FLAC (and several over formats).
The alternative is to cross code the FLAC to Windows Media Lossless. There are two ways to do this. The first is using dbPowerAMP Music Converter
The second is using Foobar 2000 and setting up a commandline encoder using WMcmd.vbs this is a script shipped with Windows Media to enable you to encode from the commandline. Search elsewhere on the forums for infomation on the commandline options this takes.
However you mileage may vary with preserving the tags, there are mixed reports of WMcmd.vbs correctly populating all tag fields. Unfortunately MS never seem to appreciate the need to be able to drive things via the command line :/
I'd stick with using FLAC and the extensions to WMP mentioned above.
3) There are a variety of programs availiable to grab Album Art from amazon.com based on the contents of the tags in the files and save it into folder.jpg file that you need for WMP for example:
4) You can now convert to ALAC using Foobar2000 and itunesEncode.exe. Again the tags get read by Foobar and added on the commandline to iTunesencode. You can specify Album Art on the commandline as well but since it requires a full qualified path (and the source code was lost so it can't be fixed) it's not much use.
Unfortunately the dbPowerAMP ALAC encoder is not ready for the primetime and extending iTunes itself to import FLAC is problematic. iTunes can be made to play most formats by writing a Quicktime component for it however the metadata support is built directly into iTunes itself so is not extendable. Therefore you lose tags.
Assuming you can get a conversion to ALAC preserving tags using Foobar2000 and iTunesencode then you then have the tedious job of dragging the album art into iTunes for each album or using a tool such as
to scrape it from amazon again.
*** If you have access to a Mac:
Things are much much easier you can use Max
This will rip and encode to tagged FLAC and ALAC files concurrently and query amazon.com to grab the album art. As far as I can tell it will insert the Album art into ALAC files and save a copy of the file into the directory under a user defineable name and format. Therefore you can get it to write the folder.jpg that WMP requires.
You can then just import the ALAC files into iTunes and everything wiill Just Work
Again you'd use the FLAC components mentioned above.
If you still wish to rip using EAC on windows then you could download the Album Art using something like
Which will query based on the tags in the files. However this isn't going to help you get art into ALAC files for iTunes.
I wish you luck in getting all of this to work. I rather suspect that it might be easier to just buy a second hand PPC mac to run Max on than trying to deal with ALAC on Windows. Since Apple are going Intel there are quite a lot of people selling PPC Macs and PowerBooks and buying Intel based ones.

The ammonium salt of an antimetabolite analogue of aminopterin with potential antineoplastic activity. As a folate antagonist, talotrexin binds to and inhibits the function of dihydrofolate reductase, resulting in the inhibition of folate metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Hydrosoluble, talotrexin is actively transported into cells by the reduced folate carrier (RFC) and, therefore, is unlikely to be associated with P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance.

Homeschooling was the natural next step in our family journey. I birthed at home, tended the home. I was all about the home. My interpretation of homeschooling, however, was a little different than sitting down at a table. When my children showed an interest in something, I followed. We dove in together, and I learned right along with them: child-led learning.
A child-led education encourages children to follow their passions and interests, instead of a curriculum which a "one-size-fits-all" system invented and decided was important. Everyone is made differently. Why do we impose on our children learning all the same things at the same chronological age?

Brothers start cycling for Florida in Ocean Beach; ride raising funds for Wounded Warrior Project, other programs
OCEAN BEACH Three years ago, Michael Schwartz hopped on a bicycle and began peddling in the hopes of reversing his diabetes. In a really good week, the 55-year-old Georgia man can cover about 250 miles.
In the name of sweet charity, Schwartz got the ambitious idea of cycling cross country to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and other veterans programs. On Sunday afternoon, he and his 53-year-old brother Steve pushed off from the Ocean Beach Pier with their sights set on coasting into Jacksonville, Fla., by Oct. 25 — some 2,400 miles and 55 days away.
"A year ago I thought, 'I was lucky enough to never have been wounded in my 22 years in the Navy. What can I do to help out someone less fortunate?' " said Schwartz, a retired senior chief petty officer who works for the Wynn Buick GMC dealership in Cartersville, Ga.
Pairing his newfound love of cycling with a cross-country jaunt seemed to fit the ticket. So did selecting San Diego as the starting point.
"I was never stationed here, but I kept hearing good stuff about San Diego," Schwartz said. "This is a military town, and they respect what we are doing. This seemed like a wonderful place to start."
From California, the brothers Schwartz will follow a route through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama before heading into Florida. Schwartz has planned for the two to average 50 to 75 miles a day, but he has also built a few 100-plus-mile days into the journey.
Chronicling their trek in photos and blog posts is Schwartz's father in-law, Darwin Shelton. Shelton, who flew in from Idaho last week, will follow the brothers in a truck donated by Schwartz' employer, and will serve as "chief water holder" and cheerleader to keep the cyclists from flagging.
Even before he had peddled a single mile, Schwartz had raised nearly $20,000 from individual pledges and businesses. He has also received proclamations from the governors of nearly every state he and his brother will be cycling through.
Schwartz created a nonprofit organization — Freedom's Heart Corp. — to handle donations and hopes to raise at least $50,000 through his Cycling For Warriors ride. He says 51 percent of funds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, and the remainder will be distributed to local veterans programs the Schwartz brothers encounter along their bike route.
"I love what has come out of this so far," said Schwartz. "It has shown that people who don't have a dog in this fight still have a great deal of respect for the military. We are all just one family."

- Filed Under
BATON ROUGE - In his first few weeks as a freshman in 2011, LSU second baseman JaCoby Jones seemed like the next Mikie Mahtook.
Looking back on his first two seasons, he tended to be more hit and miss. He hit .338 as a freshman with 32 RBIs, 11 doubles and four home runs with a slump in the middle and a hot finish. Last year, he started strong, but fell off late and finished hitting a disappointing .253 with 13 doubles, four home runs and 29 RBIs. He has stolen 23 bases in two seasons, but he has walked only 27 times with 84 strikeouts.

PG FL Scout League springs to life
Jeff Dahn
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Perfect Game, working on the request of and in coordination with six elite Florida travel team organizations, is announcing the formation of the Perfect Game Florida Scout League, a top-tier league that will play its inaugural season at six tournaments this summer and fall.
PG National Tournament Director Taylor McCollough said he was approached late last year by representatives from several of Florida's premier programs who proposed the formation of the league.
At its outset, the league's membership is comprised of the premier squads from the Orlando Scorpions, FTB Mizuno, South Florida Elite Squad, Palm Beach PAL, SWFL Baseball and Florida (FL) Hardballers organizations.
All six organizations will host a tournament in the summer or fall, non-PG events they have already been staging for several years. The six elite teams from each organization have committed to being at each other's tournaments, and have agreed to bring many of their teams as well. Top teams from other organizations are also encouraged to enter.
"The thought process behind it is that they'll continue to run these quality events, but will incorporate this league with them to where … they know they're going to get good games against the top teams," McCollough said. "With that, they're going to attract other top teams, because when you can guarantee six of the top teams from Florida are going to be there, it's going to attract everybody else from college coaches and scouts to other top travel teams."
Orlando Scorpions owner/operator Matt Gerber said that he, Jered Goodwin from FTB Mizuno and Chad Upson from Palm Beach PAL got to talking about the idea to form a league while attending various PG tournaments over the last year or so. The goal was to ensure their top teams would face other top-tier competition on a regular basis at their own tournaments.
"We kind of kicked around some ideas about doing some tournaments together where we could play each other," Gerber said. "We brought up the idea of joining up with Perfect Game – obviously having Perfect Game's name on it gives us more legitimacy and more exposure – and the key for us was having a third party involved that wasn't a coach or wasn't part of our group. They would be able to administer and make sure everybody was pulling their weight and doing the things they were supposed to do."
McCollough is putting together a league schedule that will be posted before the summer season begins that will make sure each team faces the other five an equal number of times throughout the season. The schedule also provides much-needed structure.
"It helps from the stance of getting a preseason schedule knowing you're going to go into tournaments and who you're going to play, and setting up pitching rotations and things like that," FTB's Goodwin said. "It kind of organizes the chaos; all tournaments are kind of run differently and you never know what the setup's going to be and who's going to be there and how it's going to go. This helps us from a recruiting and scouting standpoint that we can set things up a little better."
Perfect Game is not charging the organizations for their participation in the PG FL Scout League. It was the organizations' idea to form the league under the PG banner, and they will benefit by the guarantee of playing one another on a regular basis and gaining added exposure on
"The Perfect Game (FL) Scout League has great value in the fact that we're going to be playing in these events with teams of very high caliber," Palm Beach PAL's Upson said. "We're assured that recruiters and scouts will be at our games not only to watch our players but to watch players from the other team. It's going to make it easier to help the kids, it's going to make it easier on the scouts and it's going to make it easier on the college recruiters to be able to see a number of great players in one game."
The Florida Hardballers are based in Gainesville in north-central Florida, and head coach and co-founder John Colacci said his group sometimes feels on the periphery of the action.
"When it comes to the travel ball over the summer you have all these Perfect Game events and you have all these dates, quality dates, where you know you're going to get good competition and you know you're going to play in front of the scouts," he said. "But on the off-weekends when there's (no PG events) scheduled … we're all kind of spread out, so from a scouting standpoint this will bring us all together and it will be good for the kids."
John Cedarburg is one of the original founders of SWFL Baseball, a travel ball organization based in the Gulf Coast city of Fort Myers in southwest Florida. He is also a full-time area scout with the Colorado Rockies.
"I think we'll benefit in a couple of different ways," Cedarburg said of SWFL's involvement. "No. 1, we're going to get to play the top competition in the state of Florida on a regular basis, and No. 2, I think those teams will help us in bringing in the other top teams from the Eastern Seaboard and we can play the competition from all around the state and from all around the Southeast."
Like the other program directors and managers involved with the formation of the league, Richie Palmer from the South Florida Elite Squad likes the idea of bringing most of Florida's top teams together in a structured environment to perform in front of college coaches and professional scouts.
"It will provide exposure and the competition will get us ready for when we do go to the WWBA, the big East Cobb tournaments, Jupiter," Palmer said. "It's benefitting us from the exposure standpoint and from the preparation standpoint."
Palmer also likes the idea of competing for a league championship in addition to tournament championships.
"It gives us something to play for at the end of the day," he said. "When we play against each other, and obviously in tournaments it always means a lot, but now if we play each other in a pool-play game, it's not only for seeding but it's also going to affect the standings in the league."
The FL Hardballers' Colacci shares Palmer's belief that competing for a league title and checking regularly on the league standings and statistical leaders on PG's website (GameChanger will be used during league games) will add a whole new dimension to the travel ball experience.
"I think that's going to be very exciting," he said. "In high school, kids get to play for something … and from a competitive standpoint for the kids I think the games are going to mean a little bit more. It's going to be neat to see how kids kind of stack up (and) with the competition level, I think the stats will be a little more realistic (then what you see in high school)."
The PG FL Scout League's tentative 2012 schedule calls for a 16-team League Championship tournament on Nov. 3-4 in Kissimmee, Fla., hosted by the Hardballers. That championship tournament will be played after the PG WWBA World Underclass Championship and the PG WWBA World Championship and will give the players a final season-ending event to look forward to.
"A lot of the organizations that are in it are pretty friendly with each other, but also competitive with each other," FTB's Goodwin said. "For one of the teams to have year-long bragging rights, it'll give the kids something to play for … knowing they still have a league title to win.
"One of the things that travel ball gets a negative reputation for is you're not playing for a cause but you're playing for yourself," he continued. "This is a summer long goal that leads into the fall and that's a pretty big deal for the kids and I think they're going to take some ownership. There's a team aspect to what they're doing."
By assuring that at least six of Florida's top teams will be at every one of these tournaments, the program directors and team managers are betting their tournaments' stature will also receive a boost.
"We can guarantee that these six elite teams are going to be playing in the tournament and the other teams around will want to play in these events because they're guaranteed the good teams will be there and that the scouts and recruiters will come and watch," the Scorpions' Gerber said.
Elite Squad's Palmer concurred:
"Knowing that these teams in the PG Scout League are going to be at our events will definitely draw a bigger crowd because who doesn't want to play against the best competition and in front of the most scouts and coaches?"
"There's a core group of good teams that have joined the Scout League with us and we're going into this venture together," PB PAL's Upson said. "It's an immediate connection to good teams being at our event and us being at their events. It will definitely enhance our events."
In the minds of the team directors, PG's involvement only adds to that enhancement.
"Perfect Game is just light years ahead of everybody else and I know that they don't just throw their name on anything," Colacci said. "They're well-respected, and for them to back this and be involved, it's huge for all of us that are involved."

A sign warning of a photo-enforced red light camera hangs on a pole near an intersection Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013, in St. Louis. The future of red light cameras in Missouri communities is in jeopardy after a state appeals court panel ruled this week that most municipal ordinances governing the cameras are unenforceable, an attorney for plaintiffs in a suburban St. Louis case said Wednesday. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)
- Filed Under
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A former Missouri Supreme Court chief justice has been hired to lead an appeal of a state appeals court ruling that has prompted nearly a dozen communities to suspend their red-light camera programs.
The city of Ellisville and American Traffic Solutions - which installed and operates red light cameras in more than two dozen Missouri communities - have asked the Missouri Supreme Court to hear a case in which theMissouri Court of Appeals Eastern Division earlier this month ruled Ellisville's ordinance was not enforceable.
Former justice Michael Wolff, who now serves as dean of the St. Louis University School of Law, has been hired by the law firm representing American Traffic Solutions to spearhead that appeal, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The appeals court overruled itself in a Nov. 5 opinion regarding a challenge to Ellisville's red-light camera ordinance, saying it found flaws in the law despite the court's decision two years earlier that sustained similar provisions in Creve Coeur.
The court said Ellisville's law - and others patterned after the Creve Coeur ordinance - contradicts state law that limits moving violations at signalized intersections to drivers or pedestrians. State law also requires that points be assessed against a driver who commits a moving violation.
Many local red-light camera ordinances don't seek points for violations and ticket the owner of the vehicle caught running a red light, regardless of who was driving.
If that decision is sustained by the state Supreme Court, many cities would have to overhaul the way tickets are issued.
"They're worried," said Ryan Keane, an attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the Ellisville case. "It was a forceful opinion. It was well thought-out, and it overruled the most significant appellate decision to date."
Edward L. Dowd Jr., a former U.S. attorney who now works for Scottsdale, Ariz.-based ATS, said the ordinances are not in conflict with state statutes, but rather are supplementary to them.
Cities have the authority to pass "additional rules of the road or traffic regulations," Dowd and attorneys for Ellisville said.
ATS spokesman Charles Territo stressed that the constitutionality of the red-light camera programs has consistently been upheld by state and federal courts, and that the Ellisville ruling specifically affirmed that city's authority to regulate traffic as part of its police power.
At least 11 cities throughout Missouri have suspended issuing citations and will wait until the dust settles around the appellate court's decision.

As if the global economy, let alone the world itself, needed another thing to worry about, swine flu comes along. Having lived through the experience of SARS 6 years ago, the Hang Seng and Shanghai stock markets were hard hit. Economically sensitive commodities such as crude and copper are also weak.
The Mexican peso is having its biggest one day decline vs the US$ since Oct 22nd also in response as businesses where people congregate temporarily close. Most global bond markets are the sole beneficiary of the nervousness.
May German consumer confidence was a touch better than expected but the Euro is lower as two ECB members over the weekend said they will support another rate cut next week. The only question over the next few months is if they stop at 1% or not from 1.25% now. Earnings, auto restructurings, bank stress test capital raises and US Treasury supply will again be the focus this week.
