The recently released documentary film Chasing Ice is the story of one of the world's most renowned photojournalists tackling the subject of global warming by documenting the retreat and loss of glacial ice in Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and Montana due to climate change. This documentary, full of breathtaking images of both sublime beauty and environmental degradation introduces us to the passionate photographer James Balog, who with his team of scientists, techies, climbing experts and field guides set out to document the physical evidence of global warming by setting up cameras in multiple locations to film a particular landscape in order to archive the changes. The dramatic effects of global warming are clearly evident as Balog returns to each site several times a year to make sure the cameras are functioning properly and to review the effects upon the glaciers. The film highlights the emotional up's and down's and natural obstacles to such an endeavor but what really is the most striking feature of the film is the awe-inspiring magnificence of the arctic landscapes.
There are many times in life when we take an action that cannot be undone, and in so doing, head down one fork in the road, never to possibly return to the other path again. I was struck, watching Chely Wright, Wish Me Away, how real that is when someone comes out. Ms. Wright, popular country music singer-songwriter, CMA winner, was raised in a conservative God-fearing home and community. As a young girl, she knew she wanted to be a country music star and she determined to work heart and soul to reach that goal. At the same time, she recognized her crushes on girls and prayed that God would help her somehow overcome her feelings, that God wouldn't let her be gay.
The documentary incorporates interviews with primary people in Wright's life (family members, other creative collaborators, people from her hometown,) heart-wrenching homemade videos created by Wright during some of her most despairing moments, plus footage of Wright meeting with her spiritual advisor and, later, her publicist.
Wright's coming-out process was exquisitely choreographed. The release of her autobiographical book, Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer, this movie and numerous public interviews (with Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O'Donnell and others) were all scheduled to happen one real close together, for maximum exposure. In one interview, Rosie O'Donnell bluntly states: "You're out, honey….You're out all day. You're out forever!"
Learning of James Gandolfini's untimely passing, my thoughts turned not to his iconic role as Tony Soprano, but his recent performance in Sopranos creator David Chase's directorial film debut, Not Fade Away, one of the most honest and under-rated movies ever made about rock and roll. Though seeing Gandolfini as a New Jersey businessman, struggling to keep peace in his suburban home with his wife and children, stirs up memories of his better-known TV family man, his film father and TV father lead quite different lives.
Set in the 1960's, the film's focus is on his son, a budding musician who gives up his college education, funded by his father and an ROTC scholarship, as his rock and roll outfit, heavily influenced by the blues-based Rolling Stones, gains increasing local popularity, which leads all the members to believe they can make it to the big-time, despite the many ego clashes and professional miscalculations that derail their journey. (If this sounds a bit like the plot of That Thing You Do, be aware that the dramatic tone of Not Fade Away is much heavier, and, to me, much more realistic. The heightened realism is aided, in no small part, by the soundtrack chosen by the film's music director, Steve Van Zandt.)
All the storied culture clashes that accompanied the '60's rock revolution are on display here in their most intimate manifestations, most poignantly in the relationship between father and son. Gandolfini's character wants his son to take the career direction originally agreed upon, but as his son's ambitions grow, and his parental norms can no longer be reconciled with his son's evolving belief systems, he comes to accept the break instead of denying it, which helps to mend their strained relationship. Such sweetness is not the Soprano way.
An especially close dinner conversation between father and son in the film's third act, as well as a scene late in the film where the father bids a farewell to his son that may or may not be final, pack an emotional wallop that hit even harder now in the wake of Gandolfini's passing. Thankfully, we have this film, among many others (not to mention the now-legendary TV series), to keep his screen presence from ever fading away.
While End of Watch's storyline doesn't break new ground (Cops vs Drug Cartel) in terms of fresh subject matter, the affecting bond between the two LAPD officers and the remarkable performances delivered by the actors Michael Pena and Jake Gyllenhaal are enough to recommend this gritty, police drama, written by David Ayer (Training Day). See a trailer here.
One of last year's most electrifying documentaries, The Imposter will leave an indelible mark, if only to remind you how entertaining (and ultimately sad) the interplay between fact and fiction, truth and fantasy can be when linked to a thriller of a story. One cannot describe this film without spoiling much of the suspense but viewers are likely to be both scratching their heads and muttering such things as "really?", "no way!", and "are people really that stupid and gullible?" How does a missing 13 year old boy from Texas mysteriously reappear in southern Spain, claiming he'd been kidnapped by military personnel, tortured and sold into slavery, convince the boy's family and government officials that he is in fact the missing teen? Well, the answer to that and much more will likely leave your head spinning as you consider the subjects' motivation and capacity to deceive. Fans of the runaway hit Catfish will find a great deal in The Imposter to like. View the trailer here.
Another Oscar season has come to a close, and it was quite a successful one at that. There were very few upsets or surprises, which helped this movie geek dominate his Oscar pool, getting 21 out of 24 correct – a tie for my all-time best. The Academy made up for snubbing director Ben Affleck by awarding Best Picture to the well-deserved Argo. The visually-stunning Life of Pi took home the most of the night with four, including one for director Ang Lee, who managed to turn what many felt was an unfilmable book into a crowd-pleaser. Skyfall became the first James Bond film to win an Oscar since 1965's Thunderball. Lincoln 's Daniel Day-Lewis became the first person ever to win Best Actor three times. And Pixar's Brave just beat out the video-game-themed Wreck-It Ralph for Best Animated Feature, which is ironic considering poor Ralph spends his entire movie trying to win a trophy just so people will love him. You've earned top score from me, Ralph.
If you're behind in your Oscar viewing, a handful of these award-winners are available for home viewing now, right here at the Kalamazoo Public Library:
Several of the Oscar winners are coming soon, and you can place a hold on them now:
Check back for the availability of Silver Linings Playbook, winner of Best Actress (Jennifer Lawrence); Les Misérables, winner of Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway), Makeup & Hairstyling, and Sound Mixing; and Amour, winner of Best Foreign Film. The release dates of these films will probably be announced soon.
So what did you think of the Oscars? What were you glad to see win? Which categories would you have preferred to go differently? What was your favorite film of 2012?
Wayne White has worn many creative hats over the years (art director, painter, puppeteer, music video director, set designer, animator, comic book illustrator, and so on) but what is most striking about this incredibly accomplished artist is his enthusiasm for integrating humor, levity and fun into his work, a rare mission for someone who has been embraced by both the entertainment industry (Pee Wee's Playhouse) and the fine art world of museums and galleries. Like most, I knew nothing of his life or work until I saw the wonderful documentary portrait of this high energy personality called Beauty Is Embarrassing. You'll learn about White's humble, Southern origins and about his artistically constituted family (including his wife Mimi Pond). There are also tender moments in between the laughter and absurdity where White discusses his upbringing and the support he had growing up from his parents. This is a great film that will inspire your inner artist and rebel.
The Academy Award nominations were announced yesterday, and one of the great joys that I take from Oscar season is that I can get sweet, nerdy revenge on all my Facebook friends who, for months, have cluttered my newsfeed with football jargon and armchair coaching advice (I don't know what "roll tide" means, but it sounds like a new way to help protect my laundry against stains). For a short period of time, all the sports geeks that I know get to hear this ardent movie nut spout off on things like Ben Affleck's snub for directing Argo (seriously, Academy?) or why Supporting Actor front-runner Tommy Lee Jones (from Lincoln) deserves the gold so much less than Django Unchained's Samuel L. Jackson or Leonardo DiCaprio, both of whom were overlooked. But whether you like Oscar pools or fantasy football (which I'm pretty sure is just Dungeons & Dragons for sports fans), you should absolutely check out some of the nominated films, several of which you can get right now at the Kalamazoo Public Library.
Of the nine Best Picture nominees, the only one currently available on DVD is Beasts of the Southern Wild. This must-see film also received nominations for first-time feature-length director Benh Zeitlin, and Quvenzhané Wallis, who was only 6 years old when the film was made and is now the youngest person ever to be nominated for Best Actress. Beasts is also competing for Best Adapted Screenplay, which was written by Lucy Alibar & Benh Zeitlin.
Best Picture nominee Argo will be out on DVD and Blu-ray on February 19th, but KPL patrons can put a hold on a copy of the film now. It received 7 nominations overall, including a Best Supporting Actor nod for previous winner Alan Arkin. And while you wait for the film to come out, you can read the amazing true story upon which it's based, written by real-life CIA agent Antonio Mendez (whom Affleck plays in the film).
Best Picture front-runner Lincoln does not yet have a release date for DVD and Blu-ray, but you can check out John's Williams' music from the film, which received a nomination for Best Original Score. Meanwhile, Tony Kushner received a Best Adapted Screenplay nod, having based the book off a small portion of Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln received the most nominations with 12, which include sure-thing Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis, the aforementioned Tommy Lee Jones for Supporting Actor, Sally Field for Supporting Actress, and Steven Spielberg for Director.
Other Best Picture nominees not yet available on Blu-ray or DVD but based on books you can read now include Yann Martel's Life of Pi (11 nominations), Matthew Quick's Silver Linings Playbook (8 nominations), and Victor Hugo's Les Misérables (8 nominations), which was also adapted from the beloved musical.
Beyond the Best Picture list, there are several films currently available at KPL that received Oscar nominations:
Several more contenders will be available in February: Flight, which received nominations for Best Actor (Denzel Washington) and Original Screenplay (John Gatins); The Sessions, which recognized Helen Hunt for Best Supporting Actress; and Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, which scored nods for Best Actor (Joaquin Phoenix), Best Supporting Actor (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Best Supporting Actress (Amy Adams).
So come on down to KPL and check out some of these Oscar-nominated films. In the meantime, tell us what your favorite films were this year. What nominations were you excited about, and what snubs got you riled up? What would you choose as the Best Picture of 2012?

Patellar Tracking Disorder
Topic Overview
What is patellar tracking disorder?
Patellar tracking disorder means that the kneecap (patella) shifts out of place as the leg bends or straightens. In most cases, the kneecap shifts too far toward the outside of the leg. In a few people, it shifts toward the inside.
Your knee joint is a complex hinge that joins the two bones of the lower leg with the thighbone.
- The kneecap sits in a groove at the end of the thighbone. It is held in place by tendons on the top and bottom and by ligaments on the sides.
- A layer of cartilage lines the underside of the kneecap. This helps it glide along the groove in the thighbone.
A problem with any of these parts in or around the knee can lead to patellar tracking disorder.
What causes patellar tracking disorder?
Patellar tracking disorder is usually caused by several problems combined, such as:
- The way your knee is formed. Things that can lead to a knee problem include having a small or flat kneecap, knock-knees, a very long patellar tendon, or a shallow groove in the end of the thighbone.
- Muscles in the front of your thigh (quadriceps) that are weak or out of balance. Strong quadriceps help hold your kneecap in place. But your kneecap can be pulled off track if the outer quadriceps muscle is stronger or contracts more quickly than the inner muscle.
- Ligaments, tendons, or muscles that are too loose or too tight.
- Damaged cartilage in your kneecap.
You are more likely to have patellar tracking disorder if you have any of the above problems and you are overweight, run, or play sports that require repeated jumping, knee bending, or squatting.
What are the symptoms?
If you have a patellar tracking problem, you may have:
- Pain in the front of the knee, especially when you squat, jump, kneel, or use stairs (most often when going down stairs).
- A feeling of popping, grinding, slipping, or catching in your kneecap when you bend or straighten your leg.
- A feeling that your knee is buckling or giving way, as though all of a sudden your knee can't support your weight.
If your kneecap is completely dislocated, you may have severe pain and swelling. Your knee may look like a bone is out of place. And you may not be able to bend or straighten the knee. If you have these symptoms, be sure to see your doctor. A dislocated kneecap needs to be put back in place by a doctor right away.
How is patellar tracking disorder diagnosed?
It can be hard to tell the difference between patellar tracking disorder and some other knee problems. To find out what problem you have, your doctor will:
- Ask questions about your past health, your activities, when the pain started, and whether it was caused by an injury, overuse, or something else.
- Feel, move, and look at your knee as you sit, stand, and walk.
You may have an X-ray so your doctor can check the position and condition of your knee bones. If more information is needed, you may have an MRI.
How is it treated?
Patellar tracking disorder can be a frustrating problem, but be patient. Most people feel better after a few months of treatment. As a rule, the longer you have had this problem, the longer it will take to get better.
Treatment of patellar tracking disorder has two goals: to reduce your pain and to strengthen the muscles around your kneecap to help it stay in place. If you don't have severe pain or other signs of a dislocated kneecap, you can try home treatment for a week or two to see if it will reduce your pain.
- Take a break from activities that cause knee pain, like squatting, kneeling, running, and jumping.
- Put ice on your knee, especially before and after activity. After 2 or 3 days, you can try heat to see if that helps.
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and swelling. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
As your knee pain starts to decrease, do exercises to increase strength and flexibility in your leg and hip. Your doctor or a physical therapist can help you plan an exercise program that fits your condition. You will probably start with one or two exercises and add others over time. Make sure to closely follow the instructions you're given.
Your doctor or physical therapist may also suggest that you:
- Tape your knee to hold the kneecap in place.
- Use a knee brace for extra knee support.
- Try shoe inserts (orthotics) to improve the position of your feet.
Most people with patellar tracking disorder can slowly return to their previous activity level if they:
- Avoid movements that make symptoms worse.
- Keep doing their stretches and strength exercises.
- Learn the best way to do their sport and use the right shoes or equipment.
- Lose excess weight.
Surgery usually isn't needed for patellar tracking disorder. You may need surgery if your kneecap dislocates many times or other treatments haven't worked. There are several types of surgery that can correct a tracking problem. You and your doctor can decide which surgery is best for you.
Can patellar tracking disorder be prevented?
Sometimes knee problems run in the family. If a family member has knee pain, you may want to take steps to help prevent this problem.
- Avoid activity that overloads and overuses the knee.
- Keep the muscles around your knees and hips strong and flexible.
- Stretch your legs and hips well, both before and after activity.
- Do activities that work different parts of the leg, especially if you're a runner. Cycling and swimming are good choices.
- Stay at a healthy weight to reduce stress on your knees.

Wrecks refer to beaters (run down versions of cars that still drive with less performance), or burnt out cars found around the maps of all the games.
Wrecks have been featured in certain forms beginning in Grand Theft Auto III, where scrapped cars and school buses of unknown origins are scattered in various junkyards; GTA III's scrapped vehicles are also featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, although such wrecks may also be sighted in a wider range of locations. The first known drivable vehicle to appear as a wrecked prop is the Walton in GTA San Andreas, where a rusting Walton is present in rural San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto IV would later see the vast majority of wrecks based on existing vehicles in the game. Some of the wrecks in these games can be seen piled up, with a plank leaning on them, forming the base of unique stunt jumps.
The GTA series has not traditionally featured working cars in dilapidated form until GTA San Andreas. Earlier signs of such vehicles are primarily present in GTA III's Hoods Rumpo XL and GTA Vice City's Gang Burrito (variants of the Rumpo and Burrito, respectively). Both vehicles, which are essentially variants of commercial vehicles, feature multicolored body panels and paint jobs, as well as graffiti on their sides, but they are both superior in performance over the vehicles they are based on.
GTA San Andreas was the first game to evidently feature standard cars in run down appearances. The Clover and Tampa appear with mismatched body paneling, the Tampa itself depicting a lopsided license plates. In addition, damaged variants of the Glendale and Sadler are scattered throughout rural San Andreas, with their body panels dented and irreparable. GTA San Andreas' approach to the depiction of dilapidated vehicles was further refined in GTA IV, where up to four cars are designed with normal and dilapidated appearances.
This section links to all articles about cars that have beater versions. These cars are old and rusted, but still drivable, besides some performance issues. In San Andreas, these are actually separate vehicles to their usual counterparts in the game's code, explaining why they cannot be repaired or modified. The GTA IV beaters have lower performance, all seem to have very bad suspensions, and will scrape and throw sparks on bumps and turns with a little speed. GTA IV beaters can be repaired/repainted. A few GTA V beaters can actually be given more performance-oriented modifications than their undamaged counterparts, making the beater variants more desirable; these include the beater Rebel which can be turned into a Baja 500-esque trophy truck, and the Rat Loader which can be modified into a high-performance rat rod, however even with resprays and repairs, the rust, fading, dents, and corrosion cannot be removed, unless the is a specific modification that replaces the damaged parts with undamaged ones.

|Burrito beater.
|A poorly maintained, rusty, modified Burrito, used as a gang vehicle by the Angels of Death in The Lost and Damned. Resembles the A-Team van.
|Vigero beater.
|Rusty, dilapidated version of the Vigero, often missing headlights, windows, mirrors and fenders. The rear windows appear to be held on/sealed with duct tape.
|Emperor beater.
|Rusty, dilapidated version of the Emperor. It features broken headlights, peeling paint, and sometimes missing fenders. It is still the most "luxurious" beater in the game.
|Sabre beater.
|Rusty, dilapidated version of the Sabre. Often features a missing grill, one missing/mismatched tail pipe, missing/broken headlights, or bodywork patched with shoddy spot welding.
|Regina beater.
|The Regina in the Lost and Damned has no non-beater variant, but it features a worn out engine noise, backfiring, and starter troubles, like other beaters in the game. So, one can assume its performance was much better at some point in time.
|Yankee beater.
|A beater variant of the Yankee, which itself can be considered a beater, often featuring rust, graffiti, and other signs of poor maintenance, especially on the Sprunk variant.
|Tow Truck.
|The Tow Truck featured in the Lost and Damned is essentially a poorly maintained, beater variant of the Slamvan (being based on the same unnamed fleet vehicle), however the Slamvan is heavily customized, whereas the Tow Truck appears to be mostly stock.
|Esperanto Beater.
|It is much better maintained than other beater variants, and in many respects is actually superior to the original Esperanto.
|Voodoo beater.
|The Voodoo in GTA V can only be found in beater form, though unattractive, it does perform much better than its GTA IV counterpart.
|Rebel beater.
|The Rebel in GTA V is usually found in beater form. The beater Rebel features rusted bodywork, faded paint, and heavily corroded chrome trim. Though worn, the beater Rebel's can be given performance modifications unavailable on the standard Rebel, making it more desirable.
|The Duneloader in GTA V has no non-beater variant. It features rusted bodywork and faded paint, and the bed is full of random trash.
|Surfer beater.
|The beater variant of the Surfer features rusted bodywork, faded paint, and heavily corroded chrome trim. Its performance is even worse than that of the already weak standard Surfer.
|Tornado beater.
|The beater variant of the Tornado features rusted bodywork, faded paint, heavily corroded chrome trim, and under-inflated tires. It does not have as many mods available for it as the standard Tornado, and often has trouble starting.
|Rat Loader.
|The Rat Loader can be considered an even more poorly maintained (and slightly older) variant of the already beat-up Duneloader. It features rusty rims, faded paint, worn-out, sagging suspension, rusted, crooked, dented, and even missing bodywork, and the rotting homemade flatbed is full of random trash.
|Given it's old appeareance and model,and because it features an all rusted body it is certain that its performance was better at some point in time.
|The Clover features a mismatched front quarter panel on the driver's side, as well as a mismatched passenger door and trunk lid which gives the car the appearance of a poorly maintained muscle car. Is similar to GTA IV's Stallion.
|It has multiple mismatched body panels, a crooked bumper, and rusty trim, most likely indicating it was put together with spare parts from a junkyard.

What are You Kidding Me: 3 Nuns did what???
by Tony Russell
posted May 9 2013 6:46AM
Out of Columbia … A Nasty Habit
Early…very early Saturday morning, 3 nuns were getting on a flight from Columbia to the Caribbean, which to me seems a little suspicious. Sorry, but when I think about Nuns I don't think about a place where the booze and thong bikinis flow! But I digress. 3 Nuns were getting on a plane and security thought they seemed very nervous. So they pulled the Sisters aside and within seconds all 3 of them began to cry…they had a complete melt down.
Well wait, they didn't have a complete melt down until security found over 2 kilos of cocaine under each one of their little habits. Then they began to confess and say they were being forced into it and here is the shocker…they aren't real nuns! But they will still have to answer to law enforcement and Jesus.
Out of South Carolina … Cracked Up
Cedric was going to the courthouse in Spartanburg County. Unfortunately for Cedric he has been known to get in a little trouble here and there and so he knew the routine. So he walked in and began emptying out his pockets for the police officer working security.
The officer held out that little bucket and Cedric dropped in his cell phone, his keys, a lighter, and then he opened a small container and emptied out his razor blade and a large rock…a crack rock! He was arrested for possession, but gotta give him some credit for honesty!
Out of Brazil … It's A Wh
Well you can now get wifi everything, and I do mean everything thanks to Huggies. Yes, the diaper company has installed a wifi device into some of their diapers. And every time your baby takes a whiz in one of their comfy little pee catchers it will shoot you a Tweet!
It is all based on the temperature change that takes place when your baby goes to the bathroom. This is great news, because now parents can begin staring at their phone and NOT paying any attention to their children beginning at birth!
Please share my blog with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and beyond! These are taken from my What are You Kidding Me script that I write for the show daily. I do my best to be 100% entertaining with the stories and at least 80% accurate on the details!
Thank you for giving me a few minutes of your time today...I hope I was able to bring a smile to your face!

|Johnny cash on Cubs On Wrong End of Ian Stewart For Tyler Colvin Trade
|bullpenbrian on Chicago Cubs 2013 Opening Day Lineup vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
|jdgershbein on Chicago Cubs 2013 Opening Day Lineup vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Anthony Rizzo's 2-R HR off AJ Burnett in the first inning of Monday's game traveled 445 feet according to hittrackeronline.com. (video here)
It's one of the longest home runs in the 13-year history of PNC Park, and the longest home run of Rizzo's career. His previous high was a 432′ blast off the Pirates' Jared Hughes on Sept. 16, 2012.
Rizzo's opening day smash is the second longest in the big leagues this season, behind Braves outfielder Justin Upton, who hammered a 460′ shot off Cole Hamels at Turner Field on Monday. (video here)
Meanwhile, three former Cubs have registered some of the longest tape measure shots in PNC Park's history (which, unfortunately, I was unable to locate an up to date list of the park's longest home runs as of 2012). To the best of my knowledge, Sammy Sosa remains atop the list with his 484′ smash that landed near the base of the flag poles in deep left-center field on April 12, 2002.
Three months later, Daryl Ward, then playing for Houston, crushed one 479′ on July 6, 2002. It remains the only home run to reach the Allegheny River on the fly.
Matt Stairs, as a member of the Pirates, cleared the right-center field seats with a 461′ blast that rolled into the Allegheny on July 21, 2003.
Below is a chart of Rizzo's home run against Burnett on Monday.
Name the Cubs opening day first baseman last year. Anthony Rizzo? Bryan LaHair? Nope, try Jeff Baker.
LaHair was a late scratch with a tight back (if I remember correctly). Baker stepped in nicely going 1-for-3 with a walk in the Cubs 2-1 loss vs. Washington.
Thankfully, however, LaHair was back playing the next game, albeit off the bench, and returned to the starting lineup by the third game of the season.
LaHair went 2-for-4 with two doubles in his first start to began his tear of batting .390, 5 HRs, 14 RBI during the month of April (a hot streak that essentially made LaHair an NL All-Star).
It appeared whatever back troubles LaHair suffered on opening day were minor, if that, and may have simply been the result of the cool weather at Wrigley Field during pregame warmups. Ultimately, it was no biggie.
Unfortunately, that's not the case with Darwin Barney this year, who's looking at a possible 15-day DL stint after suffering a knee injury during the Cubs final exhibition game on Saturday.
Barney, chasing down a popup, gashed his left knee to the bone after colliding with a concrete slab in foul territory. The cut required five stitches, and likely has Darwin out of game action for the next several days–at best.
So yeah, losing your Gold Glove second baseman right before opening day is definitely a biggie.
In the meantime, newcomer Brent Lillibridge will make today's opening day start at second base in place of Barney. And if Darwin does, in fact, get placed on the DL, another journeyman, Alberto Gonzalez, 30, could also see playing time at second.
If we're lucky Barney will be back soon, and possibly soon enough for us to forget 12 months from now he ever missed the 2013 lid lifter. Chances are, though, we won't forget if Mr. Gold Glover starts the season on the DL.
One of the special treats about being a Cubs fan is the beauty and charm of Wrigley Field. It's one of the most cherished ballparks in baseball, and especially to those rooting for the Cubs.
Of course not all baseball fans have the privilege to grow up enjoying the gem of a ball yard at Clark and Addison. Instead, for many youngsters the greenest grass on earth may have resided at one of the rinky-dink stadiums of the 1950-60s, or in other cases, there wasn't any green grass at all, but the shine of green Astroturf in the multi-purpose, cookie cutter parks from the 1970-80s.
At any rate, they're all cathedrals to budding baseball fans dreaming of playing in the major leagues. It's where heroes play and where hearts jump out of chests the moment the field comes into view after passing through a turnstile.
This season I'll be writing about the many cathedrals of major league baseball; young and old, good and not so good, and all those in between. Particularly, I'll look at some (not all) of the best performances in each stadium. Who had the most career hits? Who stole the most bases in a single game? Which pitcher collected the most strikeouts? etc.
With the opening of the 2013 season in Houston, I begin this series with the Astrodome, the former home of the former National League Astros.
-"The Eight Wonder of the World"
-Opened April 24, 1965
-Closed October 9, 1999
-Still Standing
-Key Feature: Air conditioning
-Originally the park was to have natural grass growing beneath the more than 4,000 clear plastic panels on the roof. When that didn't work, it lead to the birth of Astro Turf.

Fishery regulators have delayed a vote that could have meant huge cuts to the catch of New England fishermen after fishermen warned the reductions would finish off their flailing industry.
WAKEFIELD, Mass. (AP) _ The New England Fishery Management Council voted 15-2 Thursday to delay setting catch limits for various bottom-dwelling groundfish until its January meeting.
Regulators have estimated cuts of 40 to 90 percent in catch limits are needed to meet legal mandates to end overfishing and rebuild fish stocks.
In comments before the vote, fishermen told the council the cuts will obliterate the centuries-old industry. They criticized science they say is woefully inaccurate and driving the onerous new regulations.
Council members proposed delaying the vote to receive further analysis of stock health and buy time to deal with uncertainties in the science.
The New England Fishery Management Council met Thursday to consider drastic cuts in catch limits for bottom-dwelling groundfish, such as cod and flounder, that scientists say are recovering too slowly.

So what's the best solution and what makes the ultimate earphone for music on-the-go?

Robert Champion, Jr.'s murder may never be solved. Those who struck the fatal blows may never disclose whether they used the guise of hazing as an accidental homicide to cover up an intended hate crime. Champion was an unusual student to be at one of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). He was openly gay, and a drum major slated to be the head drum major next school year. At HBCUs, drum majors are usually heterosexual macho brothers, equivalent to captains of football teams.
On November 19, 2011, Champion, a music major from Atlanta, was one of six drum majors of the famous Florida A&M University (FAMU) Marching "100" band who traveled to Orlando for the annual Florida Classic football game between FAMU and Bethune-Cookman University. Continue Reading →

Transnationalism and the New Local: Refiguring Latina/o Literature, Culture and Identity
Updated Submission Deadline for Abstracts: May 15, 2006
Contributions to this collection of essays should examine the ways in which movements between different Latin American countries and the United States shape differing conceptualizations of nationalism, postnationalism, transnationalism and the global. With its focus on Latina/o communities in the United States, our book project will offer comparative studies of literary and cultural texts that represent transnational, exilic, diasporic, cosmopolitan and/or postcolonial life forms and practices. We are especially interested in those texts which ground migrant experiences within a larger political, historical and cultural framework, seeking to identify how different ethnic subgroups represent their distinct movements across borders. Papers may focus on ???established??? and ???up-and-coming??? contemporary U.S. Latina/o authors, artists and other cultural practitioners, and should aim to isolate new, developing tendencies toward transnational modes of cultural production.

[ADOBE®DREAMWEAVER®CS5.5] [PHONEGAP: CREATING A PROJECT] Hi, I'm Scott Fegette, Product Manager, for Dreamweaver. I'd like to talk to you a little bit right now about setting up a project for building a PhoneGap application. As you know, PhoneGap was integrated into Dreamweaver CS5.5 as a way to help you really quickly build native mobile applications from Web Standards Based Projects. So we've got a jQuery mobile project here--I'll turn on my views so we can actually look at it in context, and what we'd like to do is start packaging this up for delivery via PhoneGap. Now, this is an already built application. If we were starting out scratch, all you really need to do to set up a project is create a new Dreamweaver site for it. A PhoneGap application is essentially built from a site. So we've got all of our site files here--we've built the site the way we want-- now it's time to configure for mobile application. So we come down here into the site menu--Mobile Applications-- and you've got a number of options. The first step is gonna be configuring the application framework. So from here, you can choose the SDK path for your Android SDK if you've installed it already. The good news is, if you haven't installed it already, all you need to do is click this big easy install button, Dreamweaver will go out in the background, download the SDK, configure it, install it, create your virtual OIS, and get you ready to go. If you're on a Macintosh, you can also develop for IOS using phone gap, in which case just point at your developer tools. Now we can't download the Apple SDK automatically for you, but you will need to go to developer.Apple.com, register, download it, and once it's installed, just simply point at the directory, and you're ready to go. Go in Quit/Save and get back to our project. So there's a few more options down within Mobile Applications. Now we've already done all of our heavy lifting building the application, now we really just want to start working with it. You also have the ability to set application settings. From here, we can do a number of things--first up, each application needs to have a unique Bundle ID--so basically, replace Company with your company name, App name with a unique identifier, and get a unique identifier for your ID here so that it won't collide with other apps in the stores. The Application Name--this is what it's actually called-- the pretty name that's applied to it. Author Name Version, and then the next are a little bit more related to the application itself. An icon for it to represent it on your device as well as a flash screen ping that will provide a little screen as your application is starting out so you don't just give your users a blank page. The target path is where Dreamweaver is going to actually build your project to, and then build the final file. Now, Native Application Framework in Dreamweaver will do two things. When you go to build and emulate, it's going to actually create a native project for each of these two SDKs--Android and IOS--depending on what you've chosen, that you can use to actually build the application in the actual developer tools from both Apple as well as the Android SDK. It'll also build the actual binary application into the bin directory within there so you can actually pull out the debug version. Now down at the bottom here is Target OS Version. Android creates a Dreamweaver AVD--a Virtual Device--for you to create to, but you can actually create a number of the AVDs to match your own requirements within the Android SDK and AVD manager. Just come in here and create device profiles that match up how you'd like to develop your app, and then you can switch between them from here. For the IOS you have the option to use any of the IOS OS Target Versions that PhoneGap currently supports, and then you're pretty much all set. When you're ready to build just come down here the build and emulate menus-- in this case we want to both build the application as well as load it into Emulator-- and we're gonna choose Android so we can preview it in the Android Emulator. Dreamweaver kicks off, launches the Emulator, and starts building the project. And we're done. So I'm gonna click okay, and then if I switch over to the Android Emulator-- see it's now loading up our application--and there it is. We've now got our mobile application running right within the Android Emulator. We can use all of the sort of virtual representations of the hard buttons to interact with our app as well as click it and kind of use it the way we would a normal mobile application. Everything all the way down to native mobile functionality can be tested within the Emulator--we can even make a phone call if we wanted, although, this isn't a real number. You're getting the idea that you can literally go from code-- Standards Based Assets-- directly to a mobile application with Dreamweaver very quickly. And that's all you need to do to set up and work with a project. Once you're done, you've got a folder on your desktop which is where we set our target path to, and if you open it up within the bin directory, you'll find the APK files that represent the final application. And that's all there is to it--that's how you can get started building Native Mobile applications with Dreamweaver in the PhoneGap framework in Dreamweaver CS5.5. Hope you enjoyed this little peek into Native Applications. Well, definitely check back a little bit more as we're gonna show more esoterics of building native applications and a whole lot more on this channel over the weeks and months to come. Thanks a lot for paying attention. [ADOBE® TV] [tv.adobe.com]

On Monday evening, May 19th, the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club will present "Michigan Lighthouses: Past and Present," a trip along Michigan's shoreline with author Grace Truman at the Oshtemo Branch Library. Truman will illustrate her talk with a slideshow of photo postcards that she and her husband have collected over the course of their journeys.
Grace and Steve Truman are co-authors of Storms & Sand: A Story of Shipwrecks and the Big Sable Point Coast Guard Station (Pine Woods Press, 2014). Storms & Sand tells the history of a life-saving station that once stood in what is now part of Ludington State Park, and chronicles the lives of the lighthouse keepers at Big Sable Point.
Monday's program is co-sponsored by the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club and the Kalamazoo Public Library. Truman's presentation begins at 6:30 pm; books will be available for sale and signing.
And... if you're intrigued by the hobby of collecting postcards and other historic images, here's short video from the club's show and sale last month in Kalamazoo.

The BF-400 is a motorcycle that appears only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Based on a Honda CB400, the bike's design is intended to match its inferior performance in comparison to the PCJ-600 and the FCR-900, with a slimmer body design, thinner wheels and an older appearance. Like the FCR-900, the bike comes with three different body designs:
- A streetfighter version with no frontal fairing.
- A covered version with a half frontal fairing, which only conceals the upper front half of the bike.
- A covered version with a full frontal fairing, which conceals much of the front half of the bike.
Three different exhaust pipes are also available, but all exhaust pipes are situated on the right side of the bike.
The BF-400 is likely the slowest of high-end motorcycles, although it may attain the speed of the PCJ-600, albeit after a longer period of acceleration. Its more compact construction and lighter weight, however, allows the bike to corner better than its two other counterparts.
- During the mission Just Business for Big Smoke, CJ and Smoke ride a black BF-400. In the PC and PS2 versions, it has a Los Santos number plate that reads "IMY AK", while in the Xbox version, it will just have a random number plate. The "IMY AK" plate can also be seen on a Cheetah when bought from the Import/Export barge in Easter Basin, San Fierro.
- The BF-400 may have a connection with BF Motors, in GTA San Andreas, however it is unlikely that they manufactured the BF-400, as BF Motors is a Car Dealership.
- Despite of being an exclusive 3D Universe vehicle, BF-400's manufacturer is only featured in HD Universe.
- Spawns randomly in Paradiso and Gant Bridge, both in San Fierro, but one can sometimes be found at the Santa Maria Beach, on the opposite side of the Santa Maria Beach Safehouse next to the Yacht Harbor.
- Frequently found in Los Santos and Las Venturas, especially during afternoon.


text: Welcome to the Orvis and Rio Leader and Tippet department at Little River Outfitters online store. Here you will find a selection of our best selling brands of leaders and tippet. Orvis and Rio offer a vast selection of sizes to choose from including monofilament and fluorocarbon. Choose monofilament for most bass and trout fishing conditions. Mono, floats closer to the surface than fluorocarbon. It costs less money too.Fluorocarbon has two specific advantages over mono. First, it is harder for the fish to see. That helps when you are fishing very clear water for spooky trout. More importantly, fluorocarbon offers better abrasion resistance. It is made using fibers instead of being extruded. If one fiber is nicked the small slice wont expand or tear like mono. The disadvantage to fluorocarbon is the fact that it sinks faster.Fluorocarbon leaders are extruded so some may not have the pound test strength of the same diameter of the tippet you buy on a spool. You may improve this situation by cutting off the tippet from a leader and tying on some spooled and stronger tippet using the same diameter tippet. Use a double surgeons knot.We also sell spools of heavy mono and fluorocarbon for those who like to make their own tapered leaders for freshwater or saltwater big game use. And, we sell IGFA Approved leaders and tippet by Orvis. This can be helpful if you are seeking a world record. This material is identified by pound test. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 865-448-9459. Shipping is free in the Continental United Sates.
