Data Type(s): Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: The objective of the SASSAFRASS cruise was to recover three bottom instrument packages deployed on the mid-Atlantic continental shelf.
Start Port/Location: Governors Island, New York, NY
End Port/Location: Cape May, NJ
Start Date: 1976-01-14
End Date: 1976-01-17
Equipment Used: Bottom platform
Information to be Derived: Time series data;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: The SASSAFRASS was kindly made available to USGS by the U.S. Coast Guard for the recovery. One of the packages was recovered (Tripod JERRY). Tripods CINDY and DEBBIE were located with the AMF range bearing system, but the primary recovery systems failed. In the case of CINDY, the recovery balls released and were recovered, but the recovery line was severed. Difficulty was encountered setting CINDY during rough weather, and the severed line was expected. Extensive grappling efforts were made to recover CINDY; the tripod was hooked but was lost in lifting off the bottom. Time did not allow further grappling. In the case of tripod DEBBIE, the release activated, but no balls were observed at the surface; the failure was probably due to a fouled rope canister. The tripod was upright with one month additional data capacity remaining, and thus no effort was made to grapple until better grappling gear and additional time were available. Further attempts to recover CINDY and DEBBIE are planned. Working days: 1. Total ship track: 230 nm (414 km). Tripod recovered: 1 (#106 JERRY deployed FA 75032 ATLANTIC TWIN Dec. 10-12, 1975).

¡Hola a todos! I want to dedicate this first November post to all the cool activities Spanish Club has been organizing this fall semester. I also want to thank all the club members and students that take time out of their busy lives to join us every Tuesday to participate, exchange ideas and have fun! Events are open to everyone, so drop in any time!
October kept me busy with the two-part Spanish pronunciation workshop. This was the first time I had devoted that much attention to Spanish sounds and speech patterns. It was a fun and interesting process for me, I hope that the ones who attended the sessions got something from them! Game night was also great fun, but I must confess Salsa Night is my favourite event so far. There's usually a follow-lead imbalance in social dancing gatherings, so seeing people show up and enjoy themselves was great! (Yes, I say "seeing" 'cause I spent most of the class taking pictures… I did give the casino round a try towards the end, though!). Special thanks to Professor Michael Woods for being our salsa instructor for the night (rumor has it that a salsa club is in the making!)
The semester is soon coming to a close, but there are still some meetings you can take part in. Next Tuesday, November 17th is Cooking Night! Come treat yourselves to a very special Mexican-Argentinian meal at the LLC.
Lastly, you can "like" us on Facebook so that you know more about our weekly meetings and activities. Here's our page: https://www.facebook.com/willamettespanishclub/
Hope to see you around,
My name is Guadalupe (Lupe) Torres and I am one of the Spanish Language Assistants. I was born in California, but was raised in Salem, Oregon.
I graduated from Willamette University in May with two majors: Spanish and Latin American Studies and I am happy to be back! For tutoring sessions I will be on the first floor of Ford Hall (you can find my hours on WISE) stop by to get help or just to say hi.
¡Espero verlos pronto!
Hi, everyone!
This is Lucía, an incredibly lucky teacher from the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been living, working and studying at WU for almost two months now, time flies fast (too fast!) when you are learning so much and having fun in the process. This is a long overdue introductory post, I promise to be a more active blogger in the weeks to come.
So yes, I'm from Argentina, but there are a couple of disclaimers I'd like to make:
There are, however, other ways in which I could be considered to be typically Argentinian / Porteña (=hailing from the city of Buenos Aires).
What is my role at Willamette University? This academic year I will be assisting professors and students in the Spanish Department through tutoring, Spanish Table and the organisation of events together with the Spanish Club. In addition to this, I get to take part in the American higher education experience by taking classes and participating in some of the extracurricular activities offered on campus. Having spent my college years in a public institution (i.e.= no tuition fees) which is academically highly regarded but always struggling with lack of funds, I can't help but to get mesmerised by the number (and the quality) of resources and educational opportunities available at WU. I understand, however, that no system is perfect.
The fact that I'm here at Willamette University working as a language assistant is the result of a series of fortunate events, starting with a sleepless night back in November last year when I decided to put together my Fulbright application at the very last minute. I'm not advocating for poor organizational skills, but I'm sure that there's someone out there who has juggled school and work at the same time and understands the rush of getting things done under pressure. I was working at three different schools at the time and at some point the number of students I was teaching was close to 250, an interesting mix of young learners, lovely teenagers (oxymoron intended) and adults. As the application deadline loomed closer, there was always a new pile of homework to correct or a well-deserved nap to be taken that kept me from sitting down to write that dreaded personal statement. I considered giving it all up way too many times, but as I write these words sitting in one of the couches in Ford Hall, I'm ridiculously glad I didn't.
So yes, I teach English. I'm an "agent of imperialism", as some have been kind enough to point out. There was a period when I actually took those words to heart and seriously considered taking a different career path. In all honesty, it is not unreasonable to get that kind of reaction in a country that has not always been on the best of terms with other English-speaking countries. However, it was at the beginning of 2014 that I participated in a teacher-exchange program in Wichita, Kansas. Apart from being a great personal experience, my days in the "American heartland" were equally eye-opening from an academic and professional point of view. I was fortunate enough to visit a school district that is very interesting in terms of its demographics: more than half of school – age children attending public schools are of Hispanic origin and speak Spanish as their first or second language. Sitting in on lessons and assisting teachers, I saw inclusive language instruction in action and I returned to Argentina with a renewed faith in teaching in general, and bilingual education in particular.
Have all the studying, teaching and Youtube-watching made me a thoroughly competent and confident language user? Not really. I still have trouble making small talk (what is one expected to say when asked "What's good?" There are some many good things in this world!) and I've stopped counting the times I've made some Italian-inspired gesture that makes absolutely no sense in English. I used to get upset about things like these (after all, I'm a teacher, I should know better!), but I guess that's part of the beauty of learning a foreign language. You can never get too comfortable, there's always a new word or word usage waiting to be found and explored. I do hope that during my stay at WU I will be able to spark some curiosity and help you through the ever-changing Spanish language landscape.
See you around!
Hey all,
Come join Matias and the returning Study Abroad students (whom selected Argentina as their destination for their semester(s) away from Willamette) to drink Yerba Maté (a Central/South American infused tea) and discuss/practice the language and culture of these countries. There may even be a bit of sun for you
~Editor's note~
This event has already proceeded.
Hey all,
The Spanish Department, Spanish liaison, Spanish club & WLS would like to invite you to watch Las Viudas De Los Jueves" (Thursday Night Widows). In this movie, families who live in a gated community in Argentina show us how the 2001 economic and political crisis in led them to take drastic measures in order to continue to belong to the wealthy, upper class.
It will be shown once again in the World Languages Studio (Ford 101) on 03/12 at 7:30pm as per usual.
Hello Willamette Spanish speakers, learners and lovers!
Join us this Thursday (11/16) at 7:30 pm in the World Languages Studio, Ford 101 for our first 'Noche de Cine'!
We will be watching Diarios de Motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries), and yes, there will be popcorn.
A great chance for a near the end of the week wind-down and some time to kick it with our awesome Language Assistant Matias and Spanish Liaison Aviva (:
And no intimidation necessary, we will be watching with subtitles. We hope you join us to enjoy this renown piece of cinema.

I was born in El Sauce, Michoacán, México. This is a small ranch five kilometers north of Cotija. The readers of this short piece may be aware that the country of Mexico is composed of 31 states and one federal entity, known as El Distrito Federal (Federal District) also known as la Ciudad de México. The Mexican state from whence more immigrants have come to the USA is Chihuahua; number two on that list is Michoacán. A poor economy is the primary reason for immigration from one country to another practically anywhere on planet earth. Mexico is a very mountainous, arid, land. Only 7% of the country is considered fertile. The state of Nebraska alone produces more corn than the country of Mexico. Illinois and Iowa in that order produce more corn than the Cornhusker state. Granted, not all the crop is utilized or grown for human consumption (cattle feed and gasoline additives). Wealth and power in México is controlled by the elite, roughly 2% of the population. We are speaking about a country of 110 million individuals. The disparity between wealthy and poor is simply astounding.
In March of 1974 when my family and I crossed the U.S.-Mexican border and came to live in Parkdale, Oregon. I was a little over two years old at this time. I grew up in Hood River and Wasco Counties of Oregon. Some may say I am an anomaly, as I maintained my mother tongue as I acculturated to life in the U.S. Historically, most immigrants become English dominant or monolingual during the second or third generation. The pressure of society for newcomers to learn and speak only English has lessened in most urban areas in the last ten years, in my estimation. In fact, I have witnessed a tidal wave of young people engage in the active and eager participation of learning a second (or more) language. In rural areas, the immigrant communities, especially the children, are strongly "encouraged" to speak English and to not speak their first language. Children are not fools. They will do what it takes to be accepted by those around them. It takes a persistent soul to maintain two or more languages in the face of adversity. It is fairly rare for individuals to maintain their first language given that the k-12 educational system has focused its instruction in English. Simply speaking one language does not signify that a person has a high degree of mastery. Study is what it takes to improve one's language skills. This is a process of life-long work if the participant cares to undertake the challenge.
I look forward to meeting more students, faculty and staff at Willamette University. I am thrilled to be a part of the World Languages Studio as a new Spanish Language Assistant.
May you walk in beauty (Navajo saying),

Hi everybody! this is Matias Torres and I am the Spanish language assistant this year at Willamette thanks to the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant program and Willamette University. First I am going to tell you a little bit about myself. I am 29 years old and I am originally an English teacher in Argentina. I work at four different places there. I teach English language and literature in English in two bilingual high schools and I also teach two classes (English Language II and Children and Young Adult Literature) at a Teacher Training College. I also teach business English and I am the interpreter and translator at a company that produces and exports grape juice concentrates.
Even though I got my teaching degree in 2009 I have been teaching for 9 years now and last year I decided that I was going to apply for a scholarship to teach and study abroad. The process was not easy at all but it was worth the effort! Only 23 teachers out of 80 were selected to participate in the program and I was very lucky to be selected by Willamette to be a language assistant here.
In Argentina, I live in a province called Mendoza, which is located in the Midwest of Argentina. Mendoza is a very famous province for the wine production, So much so that some years ago it became the eighth Wine Capital total of the world! Here is a video that you can see to get to know little bit more about what wine represents to Mendoza.
Mendoza Capital Mundial del Vino
As regards traveling abroad, this is my second time in the US. The first time I was living in Wyoming for five months on another exchange program in 2007. After we finished with the program I traveled with my friends to many parts of the United States. That trip really marked my life since I developed a taste for traveling. After that, I have been to some countries in Latin America and to a couple more in Europe as well.
I am really happy to be here and I hope I can help as many people as possible! Hope to see you around!

Overcoming a Criminal Conviction During Your Job Search
- July 3, 2012
- Job Hunting
- 11
We recently received an email from a job seeker who wondered if he should abandon his search because of a criminal conviction.
He's not alone. Other IT professionals like Samuel "Mouli" Cohen — who was sentenced to prison in April for making false statements to investors about his digital jukebox company Ecast — will likely be wondering the same thing.
It's true that if you've erred in the past, you've got a tough row to hoe. However, thanks to new guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, your prospects may be brighter than you think.
In a nutshell, the EEOC says that employers can only consider work-related offenses. So while you may have a tough time overcoming recent convictions for hacking, embezzlement or fraud, you may not be disqualified for a motor vehicle conviction. Plus, applicants must be given a chance to provide additional information about criminal convictions such as:
- Circumstances surrounding the offense
- Age at time of conviction or release from prison
- Evidence that you performed the same type of work, post conviction, without problems
- Rehabilitation efforts, such as education and training
- Employment or character references
How to Overcome Your Mistakes
First, be realistic. If you have multiple convictions or your offense was work-related, stay in your present job until your record is clear, or target small companies that may not care about your record. While employers can't discriminate, generally speaking, they will probably offer the job to the candidate with similar experience and a clean record.
Second, be honest and prepared. Failing to acknowledge your transgressions will only reinforce an employer's fears and put you on the defensive. Instead, prove that you've learned your lesson by admitting your mistake and offering proof of your rehabilitation.
Third, see about having your record expunged. Given the tough job market, more job seekers are taking steps to clear prior convictions. Some states will set aside or vacate convictions, seal records or offer certificates of rehabilitation, so it may be worthwhile to investigate your options.

Wow, I thought it would be something like shoplifting as a teen, or busting up mailboxes. You know, the run of the mill mistakes young adults can make. But this…?
"He's not alone. Other IT professionals like Samuel "Mouli" Cohen — who was sentenced to prison in April for making false statements to investors about his digital jukebox company Ecast — will likely be wondering the same thing."
He's not a professional and never has been! He should be lucky to man the soft cone machine at twisty freeze. There's a whole lot of us who are unemployed or under employed and are looking for new opportunities. And we have no criminal convictions!
Then again, some joker like that appears to have the gift of flim-flam, and too many investors and tech journalists give them the time of day. While those of us who simply do our jobs are overlooked. Sometimes, flashy and charismatic is also psychopathic.
What really kills me is that this guy has a better chance of landing a job than someone who's never had so much as a parking ticket…but has bad credit due to a long stretch of unemployment/mal-employment.
I appreciate this discussion. Years ago I had personal problems with alcohol – and eventually legal issues including a DUI. I am of course in no way proud of any of that past, however I came to a point where I sought help and turned from that past to not just permanent sobriety (and no prescriptions or anything except a lot of coffee 🙂 For years now I am a church attending repentant honest person, and I likely was turned down from several applications as a result of background checks. I am gratefully employed now, and am honest with mistakes from years ago (and I was told by my current employer their checks generally go back 7 years, which would catch my DUI I was honest about. I hope companies can realize there are some who make mistakes and not just learn lessons but change considerably for the better (and could even potentially help others with such issues).
"EEOC says that employers can only consider work-related offenses." Is a good thing, but those words are not really clear. "If you have multiple convictions or your offense was work-related, stay in your present job until your record is clear, or target small companies that may not care about your record." Good tip and very good idea. Yes you would definitely want to be honest about your past when looking for work too. The last part, "see about having your record expunged." may not be great help, because to get that done would probably be very hard and may not clear your convictions from your record. I say very hard, because the person looking to get his background cleared or a certificate of rehabilitation, may need to have an exemplary record in all aspects of life since his last conviction.
It's been my experience that Robert Half will not hire you if you have a criminal record.
FRED NANCE, yeah I confirm that. Visited Robert Half a week ago, and it took about a week for them to reply back to me in an email saying, "I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that after careful consideration, we were informed that we will be unable to represent your background. I got the final information from my corporate office this morning." So, if you have a criminal record don't hold your breath when dealing with them.
Well, i my record was expunged. I interviewed with Robert Half in 2007 and they sent me out to work, when i got there, i was told to call them. So, i called and they told me that i can't work because of my record.
Since 2008, my record has been expunged. Since then, i've interviewed with them 2 times within the past 2 years and i'm told the same thing. At one point i took this up with a manager and got a referral and lost track.
A recruiter from RHT emailed me 2 months ago and i reminded him about the RHT's policy on hiring ex-convicts and i never got a reply.
RHT candidate system shows that i have a felony even though that's no longer the case.
However, i've been sucessful without them. I just feel that it should be corrected on RHT's end.
Robert Half literally told me "they would NEVER hire me" due to my conviction years ago. That was the worst employment comment I have ever encountered, and I will never forget – I repent of my past and Robert Half obviously could care less – caring about money and not people – nice.
Yes, RHT is a big conglomerate.
BEWARE that there is NO federal law allowing for expungment of FEDERAL convictions. A bill has been put up several times over the years, but dies in committee. Getting convicted federally REALLY screws you up FOREVER.
Robert Half can and should be SUED by the EEOC, but it would require someone to file a complaint, and that person's info may become public. I think many many companies will not hire someone who has a conviction, regardless of what it's for or how long ago– and they'll lie easily that they're not hiring you for some other BS reason, not because of the conviction.
As a person who was a US service member, then a professional in the work force, I found myself in a situation where I was convicted (took a plea deal that turned into a nightmare) to which I served a 18 month sentence and a 1 year probation in the federal system. I am a paramedic by training but now I am being restricted from gaining national registry certification or license. This matter is tying up state licensure and I am miserable over it.
No matter how long ago…5 years since my release and I am still living under a stigma that I am unwanted by any organization.
Why is it that the states allow expungements and sealing of records but the fed system believes in keeping someone in a vise for life.

I recently gave birth to my baby girl and had a 2nd stage perineal tear. In the hospital they just gave me a squirt bottle and to just fill it with water and use it to clean myself. And change my pad often.
However, I am wondering if there is anything else I can be doing to heal faster and to make sure no infection happens.
Any antiseptic solution that any of you used or mixed with water?

I recently watched this video -- posted below -- containing interviews with numerous individuals who attended a Sarah Palin book event in Ohio. Most of them profess their deep respect and admiration for Palin even though they're barely able to defend a single substantive position she holds. The video is clearly intended to depict Palin supporters as some sort of uniquely ignorant and vacuous fan club devotees more appropriate for a movie star than a politician. ...

Bowers gets tetchy, and gives others the model for setting up a "progressive" organization. The subtext: "See if you can do it better, assholes!"
But obviously, if you care about policy results, the model is broken -- Exhibit A, the health care debacle and the "progressive" access bloggers who did so much to enable it -- so why is Bowers propagating it? To spread the despair around?

To the editor: I am not a scientist, just a logical thinker, however, I do rely on what scientists have said in decades before we ever coined the phrase global warming.
I want to you to ask yourselves something, a simple question and then answer it with a logical answer. Ten thousand years ago we 'supposedly' had mammoth glaciers covering most of North America and elsewhere. Answer me this, where did they go?
There were no people to speak of, no industrialized nations, etc. They just simply went away, part of the continuing cycle of the Earth.
To the editor: The Shallotte Inlet is becoming increasingly dangerous. The buoys are out of place and it is shoaling drastically. Those factors make for a deadly combination.
Recently, my son and I returned from sea and almost became victims of the Shallotte Inlet. Thanks to his boating skills, we avoided disaster. We opted to enter via the Lockwood's Folly Inlet, which has its own set of problems.
To the editor: There are two essential differences between Bush's military surge in Iraq and that of President Obama's in Afghanistan.
President Bush, despite enormous political opposition from all quarters, was wholeheartedly committed to victory in Iraq. When he explained his rational for the surge in Iraq, President Bush used the word "victory." Nowhere in his speech did Obama speak of victory. He spoke of a successful "conclusion."
To the editor: To residents of Carolina Shores: I wish to offer a formal apology for what appears to be an error in judgment with regards to last month's closed session. I was under the impression everything talked about was connected to the personnel issue.
The issues that have faced this town over the past months are so intertwined it's hard to figure out what is a personnel issue and what is not. The last thing we as a council want to do is have personal issues as well as personnel issues talked about in open session.
To the editor: Regarding Norm Harding's editorial tribute to his best friend Bob: While I'm sorry for his loss I wonder if his "free spirit" best friend also visited my yard, depositing the results of his feedings in my flowerbeds and/or driveway.
I also wonder if Bob parked himself by my bird feeders and birdbath much to the consternation of my feathered friends.
To the editor: I recently attended the Brunswick County Health Department meeting to witness discussion of the recent purchase of a "refurbished" gas chamber.
The mere word "gas chamber" angers most civilized people. After all, it has been outlawed as inhumane for the most monstrous of human criminals.
To the editor We would like to begin this letter by saying we are disappointed in the actions of one or more individuals that vandalized a home on Governors Road in Winnabow on Saturday, Dec. 19.
To let those of you know a little about this particular home, every holiday of the year is celebrated with a slew of inflated yard ornaments. This family spends a great deal of time and money every year to make all of our holidays a little brighter.
To the editor: In last week's Beacon, Rich Cerrato charged the old council in Sunset Beach as being arrogant in their vote to appoint Bob Bobinski as chairman of the town's ABC Board.
What we did was appoint the most qualified candidate after interviewing each one. Don't believe me? Just ask the other people, including new council members who were present at the interviews.
To the editor: It is hard to believe here in America I have to fear oppression and theft of my property rights from a local government. A government that was formed in fear they would be annexed is now in the process of performing that same atrocity on its less prosperous neighbors.
The town that already brags they have more than $100 million in amenities feels the need to step on a handful of people who have little more than a will to fight.
To the editor: As I write this letter, Aetna has just announced it will drop more than 600,000 folks from its rolls so they can retain their profit margin.

The best way to produce Payroll XML files is to use a software system to manage the data that can also produce this format directly. However, not all end users will have such a system available to them. In that case, data can be manually entered directly into the AASHTOWare Project Civil Rights & Labor Management System™ (formerly Trns•Port CRLMS®) module, or produced using an Excel spreadsheet.
This section contains a downloadable general-purpose Microsoft Excel 2007 (XLSX) spreadsheet that can be used to enter payroll data and an online conversion utility that can take a filled-in spreadsheet and return a valid Payroll XML file for delivery to an agency.
Download the general-purpose version of the Payroll spreadsheet here. You will need Microsoft Excel 2007 - 2013 to use this file.
Once you have saved a spreadsheet with your data, you can convert it to Payroll XML using the online converter below, and then deliver the Payroll XML file to the agency via whatever method they have specified.
Once you have a correctly formatted spreadsheet with your data entered, you can create a Payroll XML file online with this tool.
You can now deliver the Payroll XML file to the agency via whatever method they have established.

You can connect to the motherboards internal usb 3.0 header easily and attach to the front panel of the case. But the problem there is no such compatible header on my motherboard and also I couldnt able to get a PCI-e card with such headers. Is there any other way? Is it possible to convert the internal header?

To be clear, this city has many champions
As with comedy, history is hard. Especially for many attached to today's generation, those who can look down at their cells while driving and crossing the street but can't look back past the beginning of April.
But, please, try to understand. Things did happen prior to Easter Sunday. Giancarlo Stanton is not the greatest power hitter in baseball history. "Draft Day" is not the best sports movie ever made.
So check it out. It's in Balboa Park — you know, where we botched the centennial celebration. Still easy to get to, though. It's called the Hall of Champions. It's not called the Hall of Pretty Good San Diego Athletes Before Meb Keflezighi. It will shock some of you.
True, at just this side of 39 years of age, Meb, running his fastest time, on Monday won perhaps the most meaningful Boston Marathon. A remarkable achievement. He went to San Diego High and Roosevelt Middle School, two of my alma maters. He's a great guy and truly deserves every accolade and medal that can be hung from his slender frame.
And yet, shortly after Meb crossed the finish line, there was a tweet proclaiming that, at last, San Diego has a champion.
Beg your pardon? I like Twitter. It's fun, sometimes incredibly stupid, and often informative. But, beg your pardon?
San Diego may not have Super Bowl and World Series rings on its fingers, but this is a city that has been giving birth to champions for more than a century.
Of course, many folks probably felt that way when Phil Mickelson won the British Open last year, forgetting it was his fifth major. Or when Jimmie Johnson won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, forgetting it was his sixth title.
Stuff went on before them, too.
In the Hall of Champions is the Breitbard Hall of Fame, which was founded in 1953 and now honors 140 local athletes representing 20 sports. Meb isn't in it yet because he's still competing. When he enters the room, he'll have company.
There isn't enough space here to get into all of the athletes from this championship-less city of ours. In fact, not every great local athlete/champion is in the Breitbard Hall.
As an example, San Diego has produced four Heisman Trophy winners — Marcus Allen, Rashaan Salaam, Ricky Williams and Reggie Bush — but Allen is the only one of them yet to make the Breitbard Hall (his brother, Damon, just made it). No other city has produced three Heisman winners, let alone four.
Some prominent locals I can name are in the Breitbard Hall; some aren't. No matter.
Ted Williams. No explanation needed.
Bill Walton. Ditto.
Mickey Wright, probably the greatest female golfer.
Golfers Billy Casper, Gene Littler, Craig Stadler and Scott Simpson — all majors winners, Casper multiple times.
Don Larsen. Pitched the only perfect World Series game.
Archie Moore. Has one of those records that never will be broken — 131 knockouts.
Arnie Robinson and Willie Steele, Olympic long jump champions.
Mo Connolly, winner of the Grand Slam of tennis.
Karen Hantze Susman, won a Wimbledon singles title at 19.
Milt Campbell, Olympic decathlon champion.
Gail Devers, two-time Olympic 100-meter dash champion.
Tony Gwynn, eight-time National League batting champion.
Dennis Conner, probably the most famous yachtsman since Magellan.
Track and field champions Bill Miller, Bob Gutowski, Bud Held, Billy Mills, Bobby Smith, Ralph Smith, Jack Rand, Willie Banks and Steve Scott.
Dave Freeman, badminton. Played the best in the world for 14 years and never — never — lost.
Greg Louganis, widely regarded as the greatest Olympic diver.
Brian Sipe was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1980.

How to Fit Pants for Men
Sometimes it may be difficult for men to find pants that fit them correctly. If a man is looking for comfort, he might buy pants that are too big. The pants could also be too long or short. There is a way to ensure that you purchase the correct size pant. If you know your measurements, finding pants that fit becomes easier. Pants that fit well can enhance your appearance and give you a neater style and look.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Measure your waist. Place the measuring tape an inch over your belly button. While measuring, stand up straight and do not hold your stomach in. Add another inch to the measurement to find your waist size. Most stores carry waist sizes that range from 30 to 42 inches (76.2 to 106.7 cm).
2Measure your hips. Place the measuring tape directly across the hip bone area. Usually a man's hip area is almost the same measurement as his waist. But sometimes the waist area is bigger then the hips. If the waist is much bigger than the hip, the fit may be baggy around the crotch area and legs. Buy pants that fit the largest part of you and get them professionally altered to fit your body.
3Place the measuring tape at your natural crotch to get your inseam measurement. Let the tape fall until it reaches the top of your shoe. Pants should cover the top of the shoe, but they should never touch the floor. They should stop right over the back heel area of your shoe. Wear the shoes that you will most often wear with the pair of pants you are fitting. Shoes make a difference in the inseam measurement.
Community Q&A
- Even if you think the pants will fit, always try them on before purchasing.
- if you have a large waist area, stay away from pleats or any design the emphasizes the waist.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports says that there are several teams interested in acquiring Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester prior to the trade deadline, but cautions that while Boston is "listening on Lester" they are "seeking a huge return" for what might ultimately prove to be a two-month rental. One of teams believed to be in the mix is the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Lester to Dodgers and back again?

In response to Drewski5's comment:
In response to donrd4's comment:
In response to notin's comment:
Actually, Dickey would not be a bad acquisition. The real issue is matching up. If the Mets would take Lavarnway and Kalish/Brentz, that might be as high as Boston can go. It wuld not be surpreising if the Mets asked for Bradley. Sands probably lacks any appeal, too..
Well if Mets ask for Bradley ......Sox reply ..HA HA HA HA HA.... Very funny
I do this in a heartbeat. THere are 30 Jackie Bradleys throughout the minors. DIckey is a reigning cy young, w / 3 straight quality years signed to 5M/yr.
Man do we overrate our prospects in Boston.
No one is a bigger prospect hugger than I.
What a pick-up Dickey would be. Look at the longevity history of any knuckleballer.
The cost would be prohibitive but consider the quality innings Tim Wakefield gave the Sox of course before his last couple of seasons.
Any team looking to fill a hole in the rotation should pay up for Dickey.

Jul 2015 - $40.00
$40 is the rate after Good Sam discount. Check in at Days Inn motel. Nice people but the park is very run down and therefore overpriced. We don't have a big rig but there are a few in the park. Had a dip in the indoor pool (cool but it felt good) and sat in the "hot tub" which is a jacuzzi that is broken. Wi-Fi was very good. Cable TV was fine. Good water pressure. If you are sensitive to the sound of traffic then you will not like it here, as the freeway noise is constant. A train passes by once in a while too. Unlikely that we will return. - roadtripper4ever
Sep 2014 - $40.00
We feel this park is overpriced, noisy and poorly maintained. The "free" hot breakfast was terrible; stay away from the tiny crescent shaped cardboard cheese omelets. The constant horrific road noise actually drowned out the occasional train noise. The back bathrooms had NO toilet paper and NO hand towels/dryer. The front men's shower had a dangling shower head. The front desk (within the Days Inn hotel) didn't seem to care. - bspe
Jun 2014 - $38.00
Rate includes tax. This is a simple, clean, paved park. There is a small grassy spot between sites with a picnic table which would be shared by the rigs on both sides. Pull through sites are narrow, but long enough for a 40' motorhome with tow attached. Free breakfast is provided in motel (Days Inn) and RVrs can use pool and spa without charge. Restaurant and Flying J gas station located in front of park. Freeway noise is mostly a given for this location. - DiplomatTraveler

We only stayed one night, but it was a nice quiet campground with a long pull-through so we didn't have to un-hook. Cable & WiFi were good. Site was level. Space was narrow, but otherwise all was good. - MarieB
Oct 2015 - $40.00
This is a mature park well maintained with a great friendly staff. It was built when RV's were smaller and the sites are a bit tight they are gravel as are the roads. Nice variety of mature trees. If you like fly-fishing you can walk right from your rig and go after some trout on the Yakima River. Good selection of channel on cable and the Wi-Fi was strong, but the electricity was weak. - Traveler II
Aug 2015 - $40.00
Pleasant experience from arrival to departure. Everything is clean and in good repair. Very surprised at how quiet the park was even with lots of kids in the park. Playground and lots of tent area make this a very family friendly park.
The park is right on the Yakima river and that adds to the scenic appeal. Showers are included in the nightly fee. Like most KOA's the price is on the high side as the $40 we paid was water/electric only. It is a well maintained park with very nice staff. I would probably stay here again if needing an overnight in this area. - DRKM

The first 3 nights are Passport America at $21 and from then on $42. It is a very clean and well maintained park. Owner is very friendly and hosts do a good job. There are porta potties in the park area. It is convenient for us for meeting with family so that is why we stay there. - rolling homeless
Jul 2015 - $42.00
Camped in a 37 ft Class A with a toad. Pull through space. good place for an overnight, close to the Yakama River (trout, catch and release). Gets fishermen and river rafters. Had tent space but only 1 portapotty. Don't want to repeat other reviews, site would have been close if anyone else had parked next to us. 30 amp service, Didn't hook up anything but electricity. Very tall trees surround park, no Sat service if you are on the south side. No shade in the center during the day. Would stay there again if passing through,but there are probably nicer places for a longer stay. Check out the public forest service camping on the Yakama. - starsekr
Jul 2015 - $33.00
Camp host was there to assist in check in.. That was good. They offer discounts for some, but do not put that info up front.. Took the Good Sam at 10% but found out later I could have had a disabled vet discount at 20%. Not a problem, because I didn't expect any discount. As noted before, RV's are 6-8' apart and street side to street side. Small picnic table in between, but really not usable if slides are out. Restroom was one porta pot. Full service with a dump not available. Overall, park was clean and seemed friendly. However, value for the dollar spent with very tight spaces, it got an overall poor rating.. If passing through again, will probably look for a different park. - Bob Nelson

Bellevue teachers announced tonight they would strike over pay and curriculum issues, meaning the first day of classes for 16,000 students — scheduled for Tuesday — will be canceled.
Negotiations with the school district reached an impasse over the weekend, and a mediator had been called in to help. In June, the teachers had authorized a strike for the start of school if a new contract was not in place.
The union represents some 1,200 teachers, counselors and other classroom specialists.
The teachers acknowledge they are among the highest paid in the region, but say salaries have not kept pace with those in other districts.

The district offered a 1.5 percent pay raise for the school year; combined with a state cost-of-living raise, their actual salary would have increased by 6.6 percent.
District officials Saturday asked for the mediator from the Public Employment Relations Commission.
Teachers also want more control over curriculum. The district offered a new proposal in recent days to allow teachers to modify or supplement the standardized curriculum, but it requires teachers who replace lessons to submit changes to a review panel for possible inclusion in the curriculum.
As the teachers met this evening at Odle Middle School to discuss the plans, about 80 parents and students stood outside chanting, "We support our teachers." Several said they would join the teachers on picket lines Tuesday.
The two sides will meet tomorrow afternoon to continue negotiating, according to a union spokesman.
The district is posting updates to the contract negotiations and other news on its Web site, www.bsd405.org

The Moon in a Drop of Water
Question: I read this in a book by Wolinsky. What if so-called trauma is ongoing for us if we unconsciously compare what we are getting now—in the world—to stillness or essence? In other words, we expect perfection of "prior to form" in the world of forms…without knowing it, we keep hurting ourselves because it doesn't exist in our view of the formed world. Well, unless you have one foot in stillness. So, perhaps everyone around us, and ourself, is coming up short due to this unconscious comparis … [Read more...]

Mar 27 @ 7:00 pm
Author Mitchell Zuckoff will speak at the Winebrenner Auditorium on the campus of the University of Findlay at 7 p.m. Friday, March 27 as the feature event for the 13th annual CommunityREAD. Zuckoff's book, "Lost in Shangri-La," was selected to be read and discussed by the community during the month of March. Zuckoff is a professor of journalism at Boston University and the author of six books, including the New York Times bestsellers "13 Hours," "Frozen in Time" and "Lost in Shangri-La," which won the Winship/PEN Award for non-fiction. The book, "Lost in Shangri-La," tells the true story of an extraordinary World War II rescue mission, where a plane crash in the South Pacific plunged a trio of U.S. military personnel into a land that time has forgotten. In 1945, 24 members of the United States military, including nine Women's Army Corps members, boarded a plane to see "Shangri-La," a beautiful valley deep within the Dutch New Guinea jungle. But when the plane crashed only three survived. Drawn from interviews, Army documents, photos, diaries and original film footage, the tale is among the great survival stories of World War II. In addition to "Lost in Shangri-La," three related YouthREAD books have been selected. This year's youth books are: "I Survived: Bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941" by Lauren Tarshis; "I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle!" by David G. Derrick Jr.; and "Jungle of Bones" by Ben Mikaelsen.

All that's left to do now that Brittany Gray's high school softball career is over is stand back and admire the numbers.
Statistically speaking, the Greenwood Community High School senior delivered what can best be described as a high-arcing, tape-measure home run.
The kind where the opposing left-fielder doesn't so much as look up.
Selected as the Daily Journal's Player of the Year for a third consecutive season, Gray's final 27 games in a Woodmen uniform produced a .397 batting average, six home runs, 19 RBI and a team-high 18 walks.
Gray also dominated as a pitcher, posting an 11-1 record with a hardly visible earned-run average of 0.44. Working a total of 79⅔ innings, the soon-to-be University of Georgia pitcher-first baseman struck out 114 and walked only 11.
Of the 43 hits Gray allowed, only seven were of the extra-base variety. None was a home run.
It's been quite the journey, all right, one the senior admits moved along at a much quicker pace than what her 104-game varsity career might otherwise insist.
"I knew as a freshman that I wanted to do big things, but I wasn't sure if I could. I didn't know how well I would adjust to different pitching and different teammates. Everyone was older than me," Gray said.
"Everyone told me my freshman year that my high school career would go fast, and I was like, 'No way. I still have three years left.' But it definitely went fast."
Greenwood is coming off a 22-5 season that ended with a 4-2 sectional loss to Franklin Central on May 26.
From Gray's first high school at-bat to her last, the Woodmen posted an overall mark of 86-18 (.827) and were 43-5 against Mid-State Conference programs.
Individually, her 34 career home runs — including 14 as a sophomore — promise to stand the test of time in the Greenwood record books.
As a pitcher, she logged a total of 416⅔ innings for a career won-loss record of 53-10.
Yet with all Gray accomplished, these perhaps are her most eye-widening career numbers: 493 pitching strikeouts compared with only 92 walks. Despite pitching with the occasional arm soreness this season, her strikeout-to-walk ratio was a little more than 10 to 1.
At the plate, it was Gray's patience and maturity that most impressed her coach.
"Brittany's presence. Her demeanor. Her leadership. She knew people were going to pitch around her, and there were times it was difficult for her. But Brittany is a team player," second-year Greenwood coach Stephanie Senac said. "She is one of those rare kids who has the heart and dedication coaches dream about.
"Brittany just wanted to practice and wanted to play her heart out every single pitch."
Bridging the gap between Gray's final cuts as a Woodmen and her first as a Georgia Bulldog is a summer schedule of travel fast-pitch softball with the Beverly Bandits, a team based in Illinois.
Already Gray is batting .340 when it comes to states visited (17 of 50), the majority stemming from her softball travels through the years.
The list promises to grow at UGA, where 14th-year coach Lu Harris-Champer's program makes its standard visits to play against Southeastern Conference opposition.
Gray departs for college in August. But before she's officially going, going, gone, she fondly looks back at what was, in her opinion, her finest few months of high school softball.
"This year was my best year because our team bond was unbelievable," Gray said. "We had one little argument at the beginning of the season and never had another one."

Weisz Earns Ivy League Rookie of the Week Honor
Princeton freshman Spencer Weisz has been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week, the Ivy office announced this morning.
It is the second Ivy weekly award for Princeton this season after T.J. Bray earned Ivy Player of the Week honors last week.
Weisz was chosen for the honor after his 17-point, 10-rebound performance against Fairleigh Dickinson Saturday night in Jadwin Gym, netting him his first double-double as a Tiger and making him the fourth Princeton player this season with a double-double game. Princeton hasn't had four players with double-doubles in a full season since 2002-03.
Weisz, who leads Princeton freshmen in most statistical categories, is sixth on the team in scoring at 8.9 points per game and has started six of the seven contests. He co-leads Princeton in blocked shots, with six, and is the most accurate Tiger from the field among those averaging at least two field goal tries a game at .618 (21-34).
Weisz, a Florham Park, N.J. native who played at Seton Hall Prep, will have the chance this week to be the first Tiger from New Jersey to play in a win at Rutgers since assistant coach Brian Earl '99 in 1997. The Tigers, who are off to their best start since 1997-98 at 6-1, will hit the RAC in Piscataway for a 7:30 tip Wednesday night in a game that can be seen on ESPN3.com.
