Commingled Real Estate Fund Trading: The Emergence of a Formalized Secondary Trading Market
Petkunas, Frank J., Mueller, Glenn R., Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management
Executive Summary. Since the early 1970s, private commingled real estate funds (CREFs)1 have served as a popular investment vehicle through which institutional investors have allocated capital to the real estate market. Because the institutional investment arena is dominated by pension funds that are either subject to ERISA mandates or merely choose to follow ERISA "prudence,"2 CREF securities have attracted institutional capital because of their ability to maintain diversity, value and stable returns throughout the years. Although still prevalent as a viable asset class, CREFs however have not survived peacefully without demand for alternative market structures and various criticisms initiated by market participants.
This article summarizes and identifies three of the most commonly reoccurring issues, suggested by many industry professionals, to be potential structural flaws with both the CREF market and the CREF vehicle itself. The article further explores an industry reaction to alternative market structure demand; a formalized secondary market for the trading of unregistered real estate securities,3 and analyzes the opinions of industry participants as to the possibility of such a market improving the status quo. During the course of research for this article, thirty industry participants (thirteen fund managers, twelve plan sponsors and various representatives associated with formalized secondary market efforts) were interviewed. The interview results, along with review of industry literature, serve as the basis for identifying additional thoughts that could prove relevant to the successful operation of a formalized secondary market for CREF share trading.
Relative to the public equities and bonds market, the private commingled real estate fund market is young and still experiencing developmental criticism from numerous investors. Various past events have led investment professionals to believe that select issues associated with the performance of private commingled real estate funds (CREFs) require attention before the CREF market can continue to develop. Although a consensus has yet to be formed as to the hierarchy of importance of these issues, review of recent industry literature as well as interviews with industry participants reveals that the most commonly reoccurring issues associated with the existing private CREF market and vehicle relate to:
Information Flow
CREF Valuation Methodology
CREF Liquidity
The following paragraphs explain these issues in more detail as they relate to the private real estate securities market and illustrate a demand for direction from industry participants in addressing these issues.
Information Flow
A documented concern with the operation of the private real estate market questions the relative lack of available and accurate information required to make sound investment decisions (as compared to the public investment arena), and the high costs associated with obtaining such. Consequently, many industry professionals have classified the private real estate market as being "inefficient"4 in consideration of the following existing market traits:
high transaction and information gathering costs associated with the acquisition of underlying assets;
lack of available, publicly traded, audited information;
complexity of possible transaction structures-which undermines the ultimate liquidity of underlying assets;
varying state laws for acquisition, finance and operations and the non-homogeneous nature of local markets and assets, which tends to slow down the acquisition process. (Dohrman, 1994)
Why then would the apparent inefficiency of the private real estate market present a concern among industry professionals with regard to CREF investments? In an inefficient market such as real estate, information is valuable. …

Is it possible to tell the sex of the baby by its heart rate?
Just wondering cause I've heard that girls have higher heart rates (140-160), while boys tend to have lower ones (120-150ish).

Old wives tale....... Im having a boy and his heart rate is 150-160posted 01/05/2011 by danielles7975
I am a mother of two boys. this is my third baby and at first the heartbeat was 147 now it jumped all the way to 167 and is staying very strong there. I am unsure if i want a girl or a boy at this point. Knowning nothing about little girls I am a little scared right now. I also have a 12 year difference in the age of my youngest and the baby. I just would like a healthy baby. I guess a girl would be nice but I am so used to taking care of little boys. Do you think this could be a girl?posted 01/31/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I wish I new my self. I am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant with my 3 child and I was told today the heart beat is coming in at 147bpm. I do not know what this will be but I wish I did. We already have 4 boys between the two of us. Could this be a girl or another boy to add to the others?posted 01/13/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
umm thats funny, i heard that if the baby is a boy, it could be more likely for it to have a HIGHER heart rate...because men naturally have higher heart rates than women anyway....my mom told me that and shes a nurse, but she also said that it doesnt always apply and basically is a wives tale. If you want to know accurately, get a gender sonogram.posted 11/26/2007 by KadesMommy2008
the baby's heart rate could just be in sync with the amount of activity you are doing if it isn't then you can probably guess the gender according to that, but if you're busy busy and the heart rate in kinda low, you are probably havin a boy and vise versaposted 11/19/2007 by stevie's fiance
My daughter's heart rate was between around 159, yet my son's had never gone much over 150. His was always around 139 and 146. I am pregnant with my 3rd child whose heart rate is 130. I have also noticed that with my son he stayed in my pelvic area, while my daughter was in my ribs. This pregnancy is in my pelvic as well. When I noticed that the baby I am carrying now did not go above the pelvic area after 12 wks, I knew that it would be a boy. The heart rate of 130 confirms it. I go in for my ultrasound in October.posted 09/30/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Cameron Crowe is a filmmaker who knows the ins and outs of falling in love. From the awkward groping of teenagers trying to make a connection in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Say Anything, to the postmodern cynics realizing that sex means something in Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky, to the commitment-phobic playboy finding his heart in Jerry MacGuire, his work has covered almost every variation of it.
The amazing thing about all these films is that, though they begin with players in different stages of life, the relationships Crowe forges always feel authentic. The key to making all these amours work in the past was a flawed, yet enchanting object of affection—that is, a cute girl. But in his latest film, Elizabethtown, Crowe may have overplayed his ideal woman hand.
The film opens with Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom), a wunderkind tennis-shoe designer whose latest project has failed abominably, preparing to commit suicide by throwing himself, hari-kari style, onto a dagger strapped to his Lifecycle. A call from his sister (Judy Greer) informing him that their father has died saves him from his impending death-by-cardio, and almost immediately, Drew puts his wallowing into perspective and flies to Elizabethtown, Kentucky to confront his grief, his fear, his failure, and his extended family. However, like Jerry Maguire, Drew needs a woman to help him complete his transition into maturity. Enter Claire Colburn, the flight attendant on Drew's empty plane to Louisville that knows just the right things to say and do to guide the young man safely through his storm.
And here, after a deliciously wicked cameo by Alec Baldwin (I know a lot of conservatives wish he would have fulfilled his campaign promise and moved elsewhere when his guy lost, but the guy's such a phenomenal actor, I just can't be one of them), is where the problems start.
Of course we expect Drew's love interest to be mildly more impressive than some dingy club-hopper, but Crowe makes Claire so worthy of Drew's affections, she feels artificial. Whereas Renee Zellweger's Dorothy in Jerry MaGuire betrayed lovable insecurity and naiveté, Claire is inexplicably wise beyond her years. She incessantly makes statements like, "I want you to experience deep, beautiful melancholy," that sound pretentious coming from a girl in her early twenties (actually, they sound pretentious coming from anyone, but especially from Kirsten Dunst's chirpy mouth.)
But even more unreal than the things Claire says, are things she knows.

Kamina The Great by NEKO-2006Watch
No time for a great coloring. Just wanted to make a sketch about this character I like so much.
WARNING: this comment contains many spoils about Gurren Lagann.
I started to watch Gurren Lagann few weeks ago and I immediately felt for Kamina. He's fun, cool, smexy, not perfect, exactly the kind of character I like...
I was almost a big fan when the shock came on ep8. WHYYYYYYY????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! why so fast??? why Kamina??? he was the main attraction of this show!!!
Now I think I can understand what the Elvis's fans felt
I miss him, too...!
Accept Kamina as your lord and saviour he gave up his measly human shell to make everyone in team dai gurren 10 times more awesome
I knew he was going to die, but I didn't think it would happen as early as it did. One of the reasons why I don't think I could stand to watch this show again. It just took something from me, and it can't be come back
I know he was amazing...
I WAS SO UPSET WHEN HE DIED OHMYGOSH but at the same time he really helped push the plot and then simone became a total badass because of him, so I'm devastated but at the same time it was so awesome
**spoiler**: he does make a comeback briefly at the end... he inspires Dai Gurren to win
No need to bring him back...
He's in heaven running the Universe...
He's in heaven running the Universe...
Watched the series until episode 8... Afterwards I only watched for his reappearance.
Yes, he was just that awesome.
Yes, he was just that awesome.
I just started to watch this but he's my favorite!! <33 but when i was about to search something from you tube and wrote 'kamina'... there was 'kamina's death'!! I was really shocked ;^; DDDDDD""""": i don't want him to DIEEE!!!! D--:
bgood for an upcomming comic idea
-sniffle- I did a rage quit after that. I haven't finished watching the anime...I'm not sure I ever will.
WHAT? NO! You have to watch the rest! Don't quit! It's worth it even though it doesn't seem like the show could possibly go on... But kick out logic and do the impossible! Seriously I nearly died at that part but it's totally worth finishing!
...I'll be quiet now. XD But I highly recommend you keep watching it. :3
...I'll be quiet now. XD But I highly recommend you keep watching it. :3
I probably should... but they always... and I mean ALWAYS kill of my favorite character. I could list the characters they've killed for me....whoever they are...and the list would go on forever.
I know the feeling. Whoever they are, we should overthrow them and make them bring the awesome characters back XD But I really don't like this type of anime usually, so coming from me telling people to watch it, it's quite something! By the end it just got so crazy amazing and... well, watch it if you will, I don't want to give away anything!
I, actually, LOVE mecha anime so for me not to continue it is odd. Also, I love spoilers and I've been informed on a lot of the things that have happened. But yes... whoever they are should be stopped.
I cried manly tears when he died. Because Kamina taught me how to be a man.
But remember....real men don't die, even if they are killed
But remember....real men don't die, even if they are killed
I feel your pain TToTT
I almost stopped watching when he died. ;^;
I'm sorry to mention this but this man needs to be turned into an awesome mikumikudance model to go with yoko
i feel ya man... i really do (may he r.i.p.)
I quote you ç__ç"
I feel sad especially for Yoko ç__ç"
I feel sad especially for Yoko ç__ç"
Dude, I literally can't bring myself to watch much further. I watch one or two episodes, then I have to go back and rewatch the first 8.
I'm not very far in the series because of that. XDDD
I'm not very far in the series because of that. XDDD
The rest of the series is amazing! You should really give it a try.
they better do a dbz cross over and wish him back
Long Live Kamina! :3
Great job on the coloring
Great job on the coloring
omg i know! i was devistated when he died...and it was such a surprise, too! and it was like in the beggining of the freaking anime....ughghhg i hated that episode, i cried for a long time after that, lol. <33
I know!! I felt exactly the same!!! why did KAIMAN, of all the characters, have to die so early?? he was so cool O_O
(awesome drawing, btw...^^)
(awesome drawing, btw...^^)
I could not agree more. Kamina is a hero of mine, to be sure.
I know exactly how you feel! I almost refused to watch more Gurren Lagann after that. I was like, "No Kamina, no Gurren Lagann!"
I the mighy Kamina thank you al for loving me and missing me so much. But remember i the mighty Kamina of team Dai Gurren throw logic out and do the impossible and that is why i am capabe of speaking with you now so i thank you and continue onward till youre drills, Peirce threw the earth and heavons! Just who in the hell do you think i am! I, am the mighty KAMINA!!!
I read the manga and cried! But the manga only goes so far so I'm watching the anime...get ready for more tears at episode 8. T^T
Why couldn't whore buscuit die? ._.
damn i watched that episode like 5 min ago, i cried T_T hate animes were they kill the best character! I were a big fan of Kamina! T^T
In episode one, I was like, yeah, he'll die, and Simon's gonna angst for a long time, turned out I was right. I miss him, too, hun.
Yep I just watched ep.8. I think I won't watch Gurren Lagann anymore. It'll be some kind of mutiny!
Whyyyyy! Whyyy heeee?! T_T
Whyyyyy! Whyyy heeee?! T_T
Very nice very nice! It makes me miss Kamina all over again... Him and his Badass, thickheaded ness.
episode 8 is dead to me and you have dug up sad face memorys................................nice

In light of information uncovered about human radiation experiments conducted during the Cold War, an important charge for the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments was to assess the current state of protections for human research subjects. This assessment was designed to enhance the Committee's ability to make informed recommendations for the improvement of future policies and practices for the protection of research subjects. The Committee's examination of current protections revealed great improvement over those from the past, yet some problems remain. Although the data collected by the Committee highlight specific areas in need of attention, the Committee's work should be viewed in part as the beginning of a series of ongoing assessments of the adequacy and effectiveness of the protections afforded to human subjects.

|I did not look closely at the description of this book before acquiring it. I mistakenly thought it was going to be about the Core Frameworks iOS has to offer. I thought that because I own the previous version of the author's book The iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook: Core Concepts and Essential Recipes for iOS Programmers.
It turns out the lineup is just being restructured and the iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook: Core Concepts and Essential Recipes for iOS Programmers is being broken into two volumes and a tutorial book. This is the first of a 2 volume cookbook set. I think the more appropriate and less confusing title should have been used like The iOS 6 Essentials Developer's Cookbook, or The iOS 6 Fundamentals Developer's Cookbook.
Although it was not what I expected, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found the all the content valuable.
Like her previous edition, this book is much more than just a cookbook with a bunch of recipes in it. I have used plenty of cookbooks and they are never readable from cover to cover. I usually just familiarize myself with the recipes that are available, read the ones interesting to me at the time, and throw them on the shelf until I need them.
This one is both a great cover to cover read as well as a great reference. The author does a great job of mixing a traditional book with a recipe book. Each chapters contain both background information and recipes. I have listed the chapters below.

This book definitely lives up to the cookbook title. There is tons of code that comes with it and it is all very well organized and usable. The only thing I didn't like was that the author used HelloWorld.xcodeproj for the project name every time. After you open a few projects you have to go to Finder and the actual folder to reopen a specific one because all your shortcuts are HelloWorld.xcodeproj. Although some of them run slightly different, I do like that the samples are built to run on both the iPad and iPhone, and that they run without the need to tweak them.
This book covers a ton of material, but of course I always would like to see more. The thing I would like to see most in The Advanced iOS 6 Developer's Cookbook is much more coverage of dealing with security on web services and JSON over REST. I am using the NSJSONSerialization class, which the author only lightly touches on in the book and provides a small sample application.
I am not going to ding the book for not providing detailed coverage of dealing with security on web services and JSON over REST because it covers so much already in such great detail. No one is covering web services in enough detail for me, and although several authors have said there are plenty of resources on the web, there aren't. Especially when it comes to samples that also include security. Apple's developer documentation is greatly lacking in this area also. They provide plenty of theory, but no good clean concrete samples. I have finally figured out what I needed to implement by piecing together several examples across several books, web sites, and Apple documentation, but it would be nice to see it covered in one place in depth.
I think this book is great for both the iOS beginner and the experienced developer, but you should know Objective-C first. The author does a great job of explaining complex topics that make it easy to understand while going in-depth enough to completely explain the topic at hand.
This book is an invaluable asset for any iOS developer and I highly recommend it. This book will continue to be within arm's reach every time I open Xcode.

I just need to know I can do it
You go to the schools and apply to be a sub aide, lunch room or get your bus drivers CDL license.
You need to suck up to the person that does the job hiring.
You should also apply for rent assistane to ge your own place.

You can certainly do it. It is not easy, especially at first. My advice is make a budget, in writing, every month. Income, expenses, and when the money comes in so you know when you will have how much money and for what. And then stick to it!!!! If I hadn't done that when I moved out, I would have drowned.
Do not be afraid to ask for assistance wherever you can find it. It is there for people like you, and me, who are in a hard place but don't plan on staying there (ie going to school). I would also look into how to apply for child care assistance where you live. It helps out a lot! I know you enjoy staying home, but if you are able to find childcare and work even part-time while you are going to school, it will make you feel so much better having that extra $!
Social Servies has every know assitance program there is. You need to ASK about everything. Daycare, rent, heat assistance
College and schools have programs.
Even if you call up the womens shelters they can give you leads on where to look for more help.

It's rough. I'm over 30 and my relationship with my parents still upsets me. I'm working on it, though. Yet I can't let it get me down because I gotta take of my baby. I have to have boundaries with them so I don't find myself being a poor role model or exposing her to too much negativity.
I have a vision in mind for our future, I stay fixed on it, and I have to set limits on how other things affect that vision!!! That vision keeps me going!

Both of these series the girls are light headed and way to protective of their boyfriends. But in the end everything turns out right. They both will probably make you cry so make sure you have a couple of tissues nearby.
Ritsuka has nowhere to run or hide. He lost his memories and his mother's loving support, and then his brother -- his sole defender -- was brutally murdered. He is entirely alone until Soubi appears, saying the words he most wants to hear, but refuses to believe: "I love you and will do anything for you." Flung into a world of intrigue and magic, where bonded pairs battle and only Soubi can fight for him, he struggles to find his brother's killer. Yet he must also face the most bitter question of all: if you can't remember who you were, does that mean you don't know who you are?

Looking past the typical shounen-ai recommendations, I would say that two very different shows go perfectly hand in hand.
Loveless does have "boy love" in a fantasy world, whilst Rec deals with a male/female relationship in a more real Japan. But look further than the surface, and you'll be rewarded with a rich story of true love and the struggles of coming to terms with it.
Be it Ritsuka and Soubi, or Aka and Fumihiko, you will fall in love with both couplesand want them to find true happiness.
Would you remember a promise you made ten years ago? This central question of promises, of memories, and of love -- this is the question that plagues a group of friends in Japan: a young and very talented girl who is well on her way to becoming a superstar, an average guy with an eye for beauty, and a girl from their past. She has returned from a trip to the USA because she remembers a promise they all made ten years ago.. but ten years is a long time, and memories are easily forgotten. Who knows what could come from this reunion...

I agree
The main characters in Rec and I'Pure have to choose between dealing with love and dealing with a career. Both main girls want to go into acting and both of the male characters act in the same fashion and are filled with romantic comedy and a series of misunderstandings.
It's spring, and love is in the air! Sanada Kouichi wakes up one morning to find a strange girl barging into his house and making herself at home. Only after his friend, Aihara Kazuki, shows up later does he recognize the girl as their childhood friend Mizusawa Mao, who has been living overseas for the past two years. With her parents still overseas, Mao will be living with Kouichi and attending high school with him and Kazuki. The three of them will rely on each other to overcome their challenges with school, friendship, and of course love!
Though Rec pans out to be the better of the two in terms of realistic romance, Kimikiss certainly holds its own weight in comparison. Both titles flaunt some of the best romantic progression in the genre, and given the sheer number of crap titles out there, this is nothing to scoff at. If you're a fan of good romance, neither title is one to be passed up.

A debate and open forum on HB 56, the Alabama Immigration Act, is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday at the Pitman Theatre in downtown Gadsden.
The formal debate will pit an advocate (to be announced) for the law, which has been tabbed as the nation's toughest immigration law and has been the source of controversy since it passed last year, against local attorney Trent Garmon, who opposes the law.
The debaters will field three questions each during the open forum. The forum also will feature personal testimonies on the law's impact, and organizers have invited law enforcement personnel and legislators to comment on the law. Tables will be set up for groups supporting and opposing the law, and petitions will be available.

A few weeks ago a friend emailed to say she'd seen a Google car just south of Birmingham with a "weird aerial" on top of it- I wondered what it was. As I was walking out of my house (in Manchester) this morning I spotted a black Google car with a rotating camera on top taking pictures, so I took a picture to share with all of you.
Google Street View is an extension of Google Maps, which displays a 360 degree panoramic view of the map. Google Street View has already been implemented in America, Australia, Japan and parts of France, it looks like the UK is next.
There has been much controversy over Google Street View due to people complaining that it is an invasion of their privacy. This has led to Google promising to blur out all faces and car registration numbers. The US government has also requested all military bases be removed from Street View, however many people have republished images of people in situations they might not wish to be seen in, such as men going into adult book shops and girls sunbathing.

I have to agree with friedo. This sounds like an index issue. What kind of indexes do you have on catalog and pivot? If you don't know what I am talking about, then you need to educate yourself on indexes.
You can create several different types of indexes depending on how and what kind of queries you are writing and a full discussion of indexes is OT. Sometimes you need to write new ones for a new type of query.

Furry Chicks by Ty-ChouWatch

Something from my sketchbook that has been waiting for me to color it for a long time. I love drawing female furries even though I don't do it as much any more. They're a lot of fun.
I love how you draw cat-ladys! Would you ever consider a doing a turorial?
I'm afraid tutorials are not my forte. But I'm sure you'll find some really good ones if you do a search on DA. Far better artists than I have put together fantastic tutorials on everything.
But I'm glad you enjoyed the pic. I love drawing furry ladies.

Good job, new best friend. I love this, and I love your ideas, sir.

They sure are pretty ones
Very nice sluts! I miss your kitties T^T it sucks that some bastards were stealing them.
Thanks! I love me some furry skanks! XD
No problem! Mine are less furry, i'll let you know when i post them on mine and my friend's account if you wanna see them ^ ^
The first thing I thought of when I saw these is that they'd look comfortable in the Sonic Universe or the Looney Toons Universe cause the bunny looks kinda like Bugs going all out in drag lol
AWESOME Animals!
Yay! A bunny! ^-^
I have to concur with the skank thing... Mostly because the girls I was watching at the time said something similar...

I love the bunnie's outfit but I think I like the squirrel best. Big fluffy tail!
I'm not surprised. Tiny Toons was the first cartoon I ever drew. Though these aren't in the same style, there's a bit of Warner Brothers influence in there.
I like the bunny the best. The squirrel's clothes are cute too. And I also love how you put stipes on the cat. It makes her fur look really soft.
Lol I don't think the rabbit looks like Bugs Bunny. I like how her gypsy-like style though, she's my favorite of the three
Thank YOU! I swear if I didn't color her gray no one would say that.
The squirrel one looks pretty cute. The bunny reminds me of Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame for some reason (I guess it must be the outfit).
Yeah, definitely a gypsy type outfit. Thanks SO much for not saying she looks like Bugs Bunny *rolls eyes*
I like the one on the far right.
I like the one on the far right.
wow it is totaly awsome
Wow! They look great!!!! I like their outfits!
Great expression and pose with the cat! I don't trust that smile though...It's rather sly. She looks like the type of girl that would use her *ahem* feminine attributes to lure in men and then manipulate them.
Oh, all of them would. They're furry skanks. *nods*
Love the Squirrel - she looks like she would have an awsome attitude! The other two are really good as well and I love the expression on the middle character! Nice work!
Ha ha! I think they all look like skanks! XD
They look really cute! Great job!!!
So awsome!
Aw, they're all cute. I'm really loving the middle one.
Cool the rabbit girl kinda reminds me of Bugs Bunny only with Lola's hair....realted perhaps hee awesome characters and they all look very cute ^^ it
Figures... I could draw a rabbit in any style I wanted and as long as I colored her gray, someone is going to say she looks like Bugs Bunny. Just because someone always says Angel looks like Cyclonus because they're both purple. Not even the same shade even... >.>
^_^;....well I never thought that about Angel she looks waaay to diffent from Cyclonus and she looks way cuteier too
I call DIBS on the one in the middle! *GLOMPS! and runs away!*

I know the anatomy may LOOK horribly wrong but youd have to see past the white apron to see how it works, my anatomy isn't THAT bad.
The face is cute. I'm glad you went with the classic strawberry from my childhood, not the new one. But it's weird to see her like this. Well, that's your interpretation and i respect that.
It's like Strawberry Shortcake becomes something interesting, instead of the red-headed Anti-Christ of daytime televison...
i like these kinda pics,makes the TV show much more interesting.like Teen Titans u would never think starfire would pose naked
That is beyond sick and wrong! Its wrongsick!
before -you- were born, maybe.
still, this is a really cute idea.
reminds me of a friends teen-aged rainbow brite.

... who's Strawberry Shortcake anyway?
The clasic cartoon character that's been around before we were born. o.0 You've never seen the comercials?
the proportions might be off, but in a good way

Baseball: Russo carries on family tradition in 'S' semifinals
|THOMASTON, CT-14 May 2014-051414EC07- Thomaston's Blaise Russo pitches against Northwestern. The Golden Bears defeated the Highlanders, 5-4, in Thomaston Wednesday afternoon. Erin Covey Republican-American
THOMASTON — When senior left-hander Blaise Russo toes the mound for Thomaston tonight in the Class S semifinals at Sage Park in Berlin, he will be carrying on a family tradition.
"My uncle Jimmy (Russo) pitched for Thomaston in 1985 when they went to the finals (and lost) and my dad coached on the team," said Russo. "My brother Gabe and cousin Nick played on the 2008 state title team."
After watching the Bears win the state crown in 2008, Russo, then a sixth-grader, asked coach Bob McMahon if he was going to be there when he had his chance to play. McMahon told him he didn't know.
Well, McMahon is still here and now it is Russo's turn to follow in the family footsteps. It will be no easy task. He faces a formidable opponent in No. 2 Cromwell (20-3), a program that won the title in 2012 and was the runner-up a year ago.
"I don't want to change anything too much," said Russo. "I want to hit the spots and get ahead, and it should be good."
The Berkshire League champion and No. 3 Bears (20-3) have had a banner season and big tournament, cruising past Valley Regional (9-2), St. Paul (7-3) and Morgan (7-5). The bats have been big led by shortstop Mike Milius, third baseman, Jake Tehan and catcher Tyler Donofrio.
The Bears jumped over all over Morgan in the quarterfinals, 6-0, in the first inning on the strength of four hits and never looked back. Russo led the way with a triple and single.
"If we can order that up we'll take it," said McMahon. "We just want to get guys up, get guys on, get guys over and get them in."
The bats will be severely tested by the Panthers' top-notch 1-2 pitching tandem of Jake Regula, who pitched a two-hitter with 12 strikeouts in a 2-0 win over Somers in the quarterfinals, and lefty slinger Logan Lessard.
The duo has given up one run in tournament wins over Hale Ray (8-0), Derby (8-1) and Somers (2-1).
"We know that Cromwell has been there. They are well-coached with a solid infield and have two really good pitchers that throw in the mid-80s," said Thomaston coach Bob McMahon. "We are going to have to play well, but we've been playing well."
Cromwell's three losses were all by one run to East Hampton, 1-0, Portland, 3-2, and Haddam-Killingworth, 2-1.
If there is pressure here with a state championship in the offing to the winner, it has escaped the Bears. They have been single-minded, staying in the game at hand.
"My guys just want to keep playing," said McMahon. "They are gritty players that just want to keep on playing baseball. Whether it is now or Saturday they are going to be upset when they have to hand their uniforms in."
