If there's one thing about a winery that is likely to earn my immediate respect it is what you might describe as consistency of vision. Some of my favorite wineries not only make great wine, they have been making great wine in much the same way for decades, according to a deeply held philosophy that pervades everything they do.
This sort of conviction, married to excellent winemaking, is not as common in California as you might think, but there are few who could argue against Ridge Vineyards as one of the finest examples of such a fusion of skill and conviction.
The Ridge story begins in the earliest decades of winemaking history in California, when in 1885, Osea Perrone bought 180 acres of ridge-top land in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Carving out terraces into the rolling hilltops, he planted vines and constructed a winery which he named Monte Bello, and made his first vintage in 1892. After a couple of decades, the winery went the way of many California wineries under prohibition, and had to wait until 1940, when the property was purchased and replanted with, among other things, Cabernet Sauvignon.
In the early Sixties, a group of Stanford Research Institute scientists bought some fruit to make their own wine, and were so pleased with the results, that they bought the estate and rebonded the winery in time for the 1962 vintage. By 1969, the winery was producing about 3000 cases per year, and the original owners were joined by Paul Draper, the winemaker whose name has now become synonymous with Ridge Vineyards.
A philosophy major in college, Draper spent time in the Army in Italy before a stint in the peace corps in Chile during the early sixties along with a college buddy named Fritz Maytag, who would end up making his own name in beer and in wine as the owner of the Anchor Steam Brewery and York Creek Vineyards. Together, Draper and Maytag began their first, self-taught forays into the world of winemaking with grapes from a local vineyard.
These early experiments would prove formative in many ways, and when Draper returned to the U.S. his focus was entirely on winemaking, and by chance he managed to reconnect with his engineer friends from Stanford who just happened to be looking for a full-time winemaker. Draper was an excellent candidate. The Stanford connection aside, in just a few short years Draper had become a competent home winemaker and was an easy choice for the role.
Despite the prodigious task of modernizing a winery that was essentially still operating out of an antiquated facility, Draper also set to work making his first real commercial wine. To say that his first efforts were notable might be understating the case. When a young man named Stephen Spurrier organized what would be the most famous tasting in the modern history of wine a few years later, one of the wines he chose to represent California was a 1971 Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon -- merely Draper's third vintage as a winemaker and the only red wine included from outside the already famous Napa Valley growing region.
Since that tasting, the Monte Bello Cabernet has become one of the state's iconic wines, just as Ridge Vineyards has become one of California's classic wineries. With the addition of their Lytton Springs vineyard and production facility in Sonoma's Alexander Valley outside of Geyserville, the winery has established itself as a preeminent ambassador for both Sonoma County wines as well as the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation.
The winemaking at Ridge has not changed much over the years, and emphasizes work in the vineyards as opposed to work in the cellar. Having said that, the winery tirelessly experiments with techniques to improve quality. In a lesser winery, without the guiding hand of someone like Draper, this might result in wines that were all over the map from year to year. But at Ridge, these experiments aren't passed on to the customers, they are learning exercises for the winemaking team, and the successful techniques or technologies are adopted after years of tinkering, and only if they help Draper and his team get even closer to their ideals for their wine.
Ridge is relatively unique in its continued use of a large amount of American oak in its wines, in particular for the Monte Bello Cabernet, as opposed to the French oak that dominates California and most of Europe. All the wines are fermented on native yeasts, and receive a minimum of other treatments, though some wines are fined and filtered.
This particular wine might be considered "Monte Bello Junior." In previous vintages to 2008 the winery made a wine called "Santa Cruz Mountains" which featured the younger vines and certain blocks from the famed Monte Bello vineyard. This fruit, deemed "more accessible" was historically culled from the lots that would go into the Monte Bello Cabernet.
Starting in the 2008 vintage, the winery has decided to bottle these grapes (a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc) under the simpler and more direct name of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.
With a similar winemaking profile to its older sibling, this wine will do nicely for those who aren't interested in paying the $100 price tag, but who want a serious, and seriously good, Cabernet done in the Ridge style: elegant, balanced, and low-alcohol. There are a lot of $80 Napa Cabernets that can't hold a candle to this wine.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of cedar, cocoa powder, and fennel seeds. In the mouth beautiful flavors of violets, licorice, and black cherry mix with powdery, mouth-coating tannins. Notes of tobacco and cassis linger on the finish. Powerful, yet restrained at the same time. Quite compelling. 13.5% alcohol.
Food Pairing:
I'd love to drink this wine with a classic bistecca fiorentina. Impeccably grilled beef with rosemary and olive oil...
Overall Score: between 9 and 9.5
How Much?: $35

A WOMAN has told how she is living in fear after yobs painted her windows black and then returned to smash them in.
The 50-year-old who lives in Culverdown, Basildon, said she is now dreading the weekend in case the sinister vandals strike again.
The woman, who does not want to be named, was in her ground-floor flat when she walked into the living room and realised it was plunged into darkness.
Initially she thought there had been a power cut, but then realised three of her living room windows had been coated in thick black paint. One of the windows had also been smashed.
Terrified, the woman called police who arrived at the scene within minutes.
But, after the officers left, the yobs returned and smashed another window, causing £700 damage in total.
The woman is now petrified the yobs will return.
She said: "I'm really scared. It is such a sinister thing to do and now I am dreading the weekend.
"I feel like I have been targeted, but I don't know why.
"Maybe it's because I live opposite a field and it's easy for these people to get away. But I just don't know who would do such a thing."
The woman, who has lived in the Basildon Council owned property for the past ten years, now wants to be moved from the flat.
She said: "There have always been problems with antisocial behaviour here, but never anything like this.
"It's just so nasty that I'm frightened to stay here."
Police are probing the damage and have increased patrols in the area.
Sgt Paul Costin, of the Basildon West neighbourhood policing team, said: "We are aware of issues involving antisocial behaviour in Culverdown and have been conducting reassurance patrols in the area."
Witnesses to the incident, which happened between 10.30pm and 10.45pm on Saturday, should call the Basildon area police investigation team on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Code For Freedom - Calling all India colleges
By sivakumar on Aug 16, 2007
Well, the timing cant have been better. On the day India celebrates her 60th year of independence, Sun India has announced Code For Freedom.
Wish this happened when I was still in my college (Anna University) so that I can participate in this event. Any one remember what was the name of the x86 OS that Sun (interex???) had before the Solaris x86 port? Well, Anna Univ had that and I had done my project on that box.
Good luck to all the participants!!

Some of the most inquisitive and intelligent creatures of the sea are the amazing dolphins with forty different species. Each and every one that you may be lucky enough to have a chance encounter with as you take part in your dive adventures, has their own distinct personality.
The brutal reality is that dolphins are slaughtered needlessly almost every day and so many are kept in captivity. It takes a force greater than one to try and campaign to save these most humanistic creatures with an instinct for pleasure and play. This is where Ric O'Barry's Dolphin Project comes into the picture. The project is a campaign directly under the International Marine Mammal Project at the non-profit Earth Island Institute. The zealous mission of The Dolphin Project is to stop the uncivilized slaughter and exploitation of dolphins throughout the world. The project has been recognized in well-known dolphin documentaries. The greatest concentration of these efforts is seen in the Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Egypt and Singapore.
This is not a project that was just started overnight. For years, since its inception in 1982, the Earth Island Institute has been going strong for not only the protection of dolphins, but overall, for the conservation, preservation and restoration of our precious Earth. They took on a huge endeavor to stop U.S. tuna companies from netting dolphins, and to this day they continue to promote, encourage and monitor "dolphin-safe" fishing practices.
The team behind all this inspirational and dedicated advocacy is an enthusiastic group of experienced individuals with the schooling, the training, the passion and the drive to make sure these goals continue to move forward and provide measurable results. Ric O'Barry is Campaign Director, Dave Phillips is Executive Director, Mark J. Palmer, Mark Berman and Mary Jo Rice are all Associate Directors. Laura Bridgeman is Program Associate.
After reading this information on The Dolphin Project, you may wonder what you can do to help, how you can take immediate action and what does it take to make a big difference? Take the pledge not to buy a ticket to a dolphin show. Go to: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/5/stop-dolphin-captivity/ to sign the petition to put an end to the captivity of dolphins. Make a donation and realize that your generosity saves our active mammals of the ocean, the dolphins. Spread the word with some of the most unique gifts which can be purchased on the website, dolphinproject.org, which includes clothing, accessories, iPhone cases and more.
The Dolphin Project has even united with some very familiar faces in the world of celebrities, such as Jennifer Aniston, Ben Stiller and Robin Williams, to spread the word.
"Protect The Dolphins." They deserve a chance to swim on forever and ever in the wide expanse of their home, our ocean deep.

As a lifelong Philadelphian, residing now in our Nation's Capitol of Washington DC, there exist... today - Right Now a Call to Action. Philadelphia - nicknamed "The City of Brotherly Love," has always been a staple of ingenuity, creativity and colorful imagery when referring to its grandeur and personality. It is a rare and exciting city - full of diverse cultures i.e. music, art, and historic-relevancy concerning Civil Rights and The Current State of Affairs for Black America. Philadelphia plays home to some of the most intriguing people, activist, musicians, artist, athletes, academics, officials and community leaders - who continue to spur community-wide camaraderie and support - even in the midst of some of the worst violent episodes in Philadelphia's history. As a member of the press, I decided to become a professional writer - among other serious professions - to hold on to Humanity for Humanities sake, while encouraging my own colleagues and constituents to work toward uplifting the greater community by instigating a balance of reporting on the issues. In most instances, I too delve into the realities of our communities' positives or negatives - where I personally wanted to offer a different perspective.
Seemingly enough, I began creating a niche for myself, as I continue to write about solutions (DC Crime Prevention Examiner) to many of our individual and community-wide issues, alongside those who are organizing around erecting positive changes in the communities we live, work and play! To have an even deeper impact, I also wanted to highlight those of us - on the Frontlines of Revolution - in spite of an entire culture of negative publicity, especially publicity depicting urban violence without balance concerning its content to the contrary, in describing such commonalities. I wanted to dive into those who are challenging the norms, status quo's and dysfunctions that are depressing and most certainly, negative in their descriptions, without sacrificing integrity along way. After speaking with one of the organizers of the Father's Day Rally Committee, this note follows...
A Call to Action
An Open Letter from Will Latif Little,
"Just one week after the Father's Day Rally Committee (FDRC) sponsored a rally at the corner of Germantown and Allegheny Avenue in Philadelphia to support the family of the three young children who lose their lives to an automobile accident associated with criminal activity, we have lost yet another one of our children on Friday night in a senseless shooting. I have stated very clearly that we as a community have to take full responsibly of all the children , if we and they intend to survive in these trouble times. Too many our children are in harm's way every day, and unless we take action now, many more will become victims of the violence of our communities.
FDRC along with the following groups:
Ever Murder is Real, RFP, Unity in the Community, Philadelphia Town Watch, One Day at a Time, Handbags for Peace, House of Umoja, Philadelphia Action Network, and many more will sponsor a rally on Thursday, August 7 at 6 PM at Love Park, 15th JFK Boulevard to keep the issues of our children's welfare at the top of this city's agenda. The Rally will start with activists marching from three separate parts of the city. Marchers will be coming from South Philly, starting at the .corner of 15th and Washington Avenue and proceed north to Love Park; North Philly marchers will come down Board Street leaving from Progress Plaza, Board and Oxford Streets to Love Park and West Philly marchers will leave from 22nd and Market Street to Love Park. At Love Park a rally will be held with speakers providing more information, and an action plan with proposed solutions will be presented to the people to take action in their neighborhoods across the city.
Examples of this kind of camaraderie and showmanship residents in Philadelphia are showing to prove that; there is light at the end of the tunnel in the "City of Brotherly Love." Having a firm stance on gun violence and the various inconsistencies surrounding a healthier more vibrant community - once and for all is underway.
A Call to Action is Underway!!!

The Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) headquarters is now the temporary home to Shirley Dermond, the 87-year-old homicide victim in the Great Waters Reynolds Plantation murder case being investigated in Eatonton, Ga. by the Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills and his team of professionals. On May 16, 2014, Sheriff Sills gave a press conference on the discovery of the finding of the body of the wife of Russell J. Dermond, who, himself, was found in his garage home on May 6. He, however, had been decapitated.
The Macon Telegraph videographer Woody Marshall recorded that media conference, and below are some of the key points made at the time following two fishermen found Shirley Dermond.
According to the sheriff, at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Friday, two fishermen contacted the Putnam County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) to report that they had spotted what they thought was a body floating in Lake Oconee. PCSO Deputies, along with Sheriff Sills and an FBI agent and Department of Natural Resource (DNR) rangers responded to the scene, which was "a good five or six miles away from" the back entrance of the Dermond home.
Sheriff Sills believes the body was transported from the home to the dump site located near the dam, which he believes the GPS coordinates they took at the body retrieval site will support to be the jurisdiction of Greene County. But although Greene County Sheriff's Office and their county's coroner also responded to the body scene, along with Sheriff Sills and his men, this Georgia "Sheriff of the Year" enjoys such a good working relationship with his fellow sheriff peers, that authority over the body was given to him, aiding his investigation by limiting chain-of-custody issues and more.
In addition, due to Greene County ceding authority over the body find to Putnam County, it served to impede any effort by Shirley Dermond's murderer(s) to benefit from perceived jurisdictional warfare between law enforcement agencies within the state, or to complicate any forensic evidence obtained through chain-of-custody records and processing.
When asked about the possibility that Mrs. Dermond's body was placed in the water at her waterfront home at the time of death, Putnam's leading lawman clearly stated to one reporter that he does not believe the elderly woman's body would have floated that far on its own from the residential location.
That gives this National Criminal Profiles Examiner the impression that due to known water currents and weather conditions ascertained by investigators since her disappearance, that Shirley Wilcox Dermond was transported from her home to the 50-foot water dump site where she came to be found on Friday. And CBS News reported that the sheriff said, "That body was transported there, or at least to that vicinity."
Additionally, the Southern lawman said that "the condition of the body would have been consistent with a body being underwater until the gasses that develop within it bring it up, and consistent with the time period that we, uh, believe, that Mr. Dermond was murdered."
Another reporter wanted to know if there were signs of trauma to the body, which prompted Sills to say, "I'll be honest with you, I couldn't tell," before adding that "I didn't disturb the body, because we want the lab and the pathologist at the state crime lab to 'do their thing'," but all-in-all, "there was no 'glaring' sign of trauma," he said.
The sheriff understood that the reporter wanted to know if Shirley Dermond had been decapitated, like her husband Russell, so he provided a little more information, trying to help the reporters in attendance understand what is involved when finding a corpse in the water after a two-week disappearance.
I stress to you the body is decomposed. The effects of decomposition has some effect in keeping you from telling [if the body has suffered trauma], but, no, her head was not removed or anything glaring like that," Sheriff Howard Sills said.
Having personally watched GBI autopsy proceedings in the past, this Examiner can attest to the delicate nature of a human corpse when found due to gasses, whether the body was in the water or on land. And the less a body is handled at the time of retrieval, the better, as it can disentegrate upon touch, if not handled properly by the people experienced with body retrieval. The GBI has six crime labs around the state, but all services are performed at the lab at GBI Headquarters.
Shirley Dermond's body was transferred to the state crime lab, where it will undergo a complete forensic exam and autopsy by some of the state's finest in the field now. And "a cause of death" will be determined there, according to Sills. The question now is: Will the cause of death be due to drowning or some other means? With no obvious trauma evident on the corpse, no one can definitely say until the autopsy is complete, not even the sheriff and others who saw her.
As the press conference on Friday wound down in the Dermond couple investigation, one reporter wanted to know if Shirley Dermond's body had been weighed down with anything, to keep it from surfacing until now, possibly. Sheriff Sills refused to answer that question, pointing out that he was not going to elaborate about any other condition of the body found in this case, because "it is not prudent for me to do so, in the context of this investigation." That was the first time he responded to the question. The issue would raise its self again at the conclusion of the press information session on Friday.
That tells this Profiles Examiner that the sheriff feels that sharing such information could jeopardize his investigation and the interviewing of potential suspects at a later date, not to mention hinder him from eliminating future crack pot callers who call the PCSO and claim to know something about this crime, but do not. Many manpower hours are wasted fielding calls from those who cannot aid an investigation, and an edge is lost in interviews with potential suspects if they have access to all data about a crime, typically provided by the media.
During the press conference, Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said that Mrs. Dermond's death was "most definitely a homicide." But after telling reporters in attendance that he saw no sign of body trauma, per se, they continued to want to know if the body had been weighed down with something, to support his murder theory rather than the woman fell into the lake, drowned and was carried down stream naturally.
The Georgia sheriff emphasized that when it comes to this case and this body find he "will not speak on the minutia of this" discovery, because "We are conducting an investigation. The world dosen't need to know every thing we do, and we don't need to jeopardize things at trial, and I'm not going into that."
And that may be why Russell and Shirley Dermond's killers will likely not walk free in this case, because a Georgia sheriff refuses to give out all important case investigation facts to their killer(s) through the media. But that isn't stopping one of the fishermen from talking, to correct some misinformation he believes has been shared. On May 17, Dennis Higgs, the Putnam County resident who found Mrs. Dermond's body at Lake Oconee, told The Eatonton Messenger the following:
Lt. Harry Luke came out 'by himself'," to the scene after 911 was called. And Higgs also said that, "He got other folks out there," once he arrived, so "those reports that DNR found the body--that's not true."
Dennis Higgs also stated that although Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills "directed me not to give any details, but I want everyone to know that I already called the FBI."

Paleontology Research
Researchers from around the world have been drawn to National Parks to study the parks' unique geologic features and extensive fossil records. Paleontology research programs provide opportunities to increase scientific knowledge and explore the history of life on Earth. The National Park Service recognizes the scientific value of parks and encourages research when it is consistent with NPS policies. All investigators interested in conducting research in national parks must apply for a resource activity permit.
Included below is a brief look at the work of a few of the scientists that have been working in parks in the past year.
Dr. Paul Bucchiem
Dr. Lance Grande
Dr. Wann Langston
Dr. Tom Lehman
Dr. Tony Fiorillo
Dr. Bill Wall
Dr. Paul Bucchiem Sedimentologist/Stratigrapher
Dr. Buchheim is a professor at Loma Linda University, California, and has studied the sediments and paleoecosystems of Fossil Lake for nearly 15 years.
Some of his papers have been published on the web:
A Walk Through Time at Fossil Butte: Historical Geology of the Green River Formation at Fossil Butte National Monument
Fourteen years of research at Fossil Butte National Monument: Detailed looks into an Eocene Lake (abstract only)
Dr. Buchheim's work on erratic cobbles in lacustrine laminated micrite of the Eocene Green River Formation is in GSA Abstract 51449, entitled: "The Origin Of Erratic Cobbles In Laminated Micrite Of The Green River Formation: Ice Rafting, Tree Root Captives, Turbidity Current Transport, Or Waterspout Transport?"
Dr. Lance Grande Paleontologist
Dr. Grande is curator of fossil fishes for the Department of Geology of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
Visit the Field Museum of Natural History page about Dr. Grande.
Dr. Grande's most recent publication is his article entitled "A Well-Preserved Fossil Amphiumid (Lissamphibia: Caudata) from the Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming" in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, Vol. 18, Number 4. This fossil salamander was found in the Fossil Butte Member of the Green River Formation just 14 miles south of the park.
Dr. Wann Langston Paleontologist
Dr. Langston has been researching fossil reptiles for almost fifty years. He is acknowledged as an expert on ancient crocodilians, but is best known for his work on Quetzacoatalus northropi, an airplane sized pterosaur found at Big Bend.
Dr. Langston is a professor emeritus at the University of Texas.
Dr. Dr. Tom Lehman Paleontologist
Dr. Lehman specializes in stratigraphy
and sedimentology of the Triassic Dockum Group of Texas and New Mexico,
but he has done work on ceratopsian dinosaurs of Big Bend in the
past. He is currently a professor at Texas Tech University in Lubbock,
Texas. Some of his recent publications can be found here: Dr.
Lehman's Homepage
Dr. Tony Fiorillo Paleontologist
Dr. Fiorillo specializes in
vertebrate taphonomy and paleoecology, particularly dinosaurs.
In addition to Big Bend, he does considerable fieldwork
in Alaska. Dr. Fiorillo is curator of paleontology at the
Dallas Museum of Natural History and adjunct professor
at Southern Methodist University. Some of his publications
can be found here: Dr.
Fiorillo's Homepage
Dr. Bill Wall Evolutionary Biologist
Dr. Wall's research is in the area
of evolutionary biology. He is particularly interested in why major
phylogenetic shifts occur. Wall utilizes biomechanical analyses
to interpret how effectively certain organisms interacted with
their environment. Wall and his graduate students I rely heavily
on both GC & SU's fossil and recent mammal collections in his
research. He is also interested in biomechanical analysis of the
late Triassic radiation of tetrapods particularly: phytosaurs;
metoposaurs; and early dinosaurs.

TUCSON, Ariz. -
Hey Wildcat fans! This weekend we take on #5 USC on Friday night and #2 UCLA on Saturday night. After losing to the Northern California schools (Stanford and Cal) who were both also ranked in the top ten, I am pretty excited for another opportunity to come out on top against some tough competition. Last year at home we went to 5 with both UCLA and USC, but came up short. These wins are really important to us as a team. It will prove how good we really are.
In practice this week I saw so many teammates improving. Courtney Karst is doing a great job! Her attacking has improved so much, and she is definitely a key to our success. Everyone is on the same page and working super hard. Dave was really pleased with practice, too. I am just ready to go out there and compete to win. Winning is all I want!
We had a couple of injuries last week, but everyone has worked hard to make sure they are a 100% for this week! The team always plays better at home in front of our fans, so I am excited to give the crowd a show and upset both UCLA and USC!!!
Bear Down and GO CATS!!!!
Weekend matchups at McKale Center
Arizona vs. USC – Friday October 7, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.

The race is on to characterize as many as 40 genes believed to play roles in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Dr. Susan Thompson is zeroing in on two genes of particular interest. She says they may give clues into figuring out the relationship between DNA polymorphism and biological change in a child.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
David Glass, MD, recalls a time not long ago when the diagnosis of childhood arthritis meant anything but a normal childhood.As their immune systems attacked their knees, hips and other joints, children often lost the ability to walk. These days, however, children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) rarely need wheelchairs. In fact, those attending Camp Wekandu – an annual summer camp co-sponsored by Cincinnati Children's – enjoy horseback riding, swimming, even zipping along rope courses.
"We haven't ordered a wheelchair in years," says Glass, a longtime arthritis researcher and associate director of the Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation.Indeed, treatments for JIA have come a long way. Thanks to more precise diagnoses, and powerful treatments and wider use of physical therapy, the vast majority of kids with arthritis maintain full mobility well into adulthood.Childhood arthritis is the No. 1 cause of acquired disability in children and the sixth most common childhood disease, according to the Childhood Arthritis & Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA).Yet the disease remains far from fully understood. Outcomes range from complete recovery to persistently active disease, joint destruction and disability. Determining which children need long-term therapy and which do not remains difficult.There is progress, however. New lines of research are revealing new gene associations, potential biomarkers for diagnostic testing and fresh targets for improved treatment.The Division of Rheumatology at Cincinnati Children's is involved in large-scale international efforts to identify more of the genes associated with juvenile arthritis, to find biomarkers for more sophisticated diagnostic tests, to evaluate new medications and to study the quality of arthritis care.As the mystery of JIA unfolds, investigators see great potential for improved clinical care.
Experts suspect that 30 to 50 genes may be involved in the seven clinical subtypes of JIA.Most of those genes remain unidentified."Advancing genetic discovery in JIA is important to the understanding of autoimmune disease in general," says Susan Thompson, PhD, a biologist at Cincinnati Children's.Thompson, Glass and other colleagues at Cincinnati Children's are working with 10 other medical centers to run more biological samples from JIA patients through genome-wide analysis.Some gene candidates are well known. Scientists have known since the early 1990s about links between arthritis and genes within the HLA region, a part of chromosome 6 that plays a vital role inimmune system function."It's what makes up the rest that has taken a long time to uncover," Glass says. "It has to do with the fact that there are multiple genes with small effects, which was unexpected."
Information about these small-effect genes is beginning to flow.Last fall, Thompson was the lead author among 20 investigators who reported details on seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) newly associated with JIA. The findings appeared in the November 2010 edition of Arthritis & Rheumatism."We have made great progress, but we are not there yet," Thompson says. "To date, we have about 10 strong findings and have completed a genome-wide association study on our first cohort of about 800 JIA patients. We will have a second cohort of more than 1,000 completed in spring of 2011."Thompson is focusing specifically on two genes – JMJD1C and PTPN2 – both of which are not only risk factors for disease but may also help explain why some JIA patients respond poorly to methotrexate, a commonly prescribed treatment."JMJD1C is interesting because it belongs to a family of genes involved in histone demethylation, which relates to turning genes on and off in development and maybe also during normal cellular processes. Not much is known about this gene, but it is an attractive candidate to study because of its potential regulatory role," Thompson says. "Meanwhile, PTPN2 is associated with many other autoimmune diseases including adult arthritis and Crohn's disease and has a role in cytokine signaling."The challenge in genetics is figuring out the relationship between a DNA polymorphism and biological change in the patient. "These two genes offer that potential," Thompson says.
As more genes are identified, delving into gene expression signatures could eventually identify biomarkers for tests to assess and predict the severity of JIA.The earlier people are treated, the more effective the treatment will be, Glass says. Doing that, however, requires identifying biomarkers that can determine what kind of drug is most likely to be successful on a given patient.Cincinnati Children's is using an NIH grant to pursue biomarker development for JIA. Improved testing could help physicians determine which patients will need more aggressive treatment and which ones can safely discontinue certain treatments, thus reducing risks of long-term side effects.
Methotrexate – a form of cancer chemotherapy – emerged in the 1980s as a breakthrough treatment for arthritis. But the drug does not work for everyone and it leaves children with weakened immune systems. In the past decade, newer biologics have added to the success, primarily by blocking TNF-alpha, a substance known to harm tissue.More medications are moving through the pipeline, says Daniel Lovell, MD, MPH. Lovell is chairman of the Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group, a research network based in Cincinnati that includes more than 85 medical centers.The group is working on 11 advanced stage clinical trials – eight phase III and three phase IV studies – of agents that show high promise of improving treatment of JIA. Two closely watched efforts include studies of tocilizumab, an interleukin-6 blocker and canakinumab, an interleukin-1 blocker.
Scientists also are taking a closer look at systemic onset JIA, an unusual subtype of the disease. While other types of JIA focus on which and how many joints are affected by arthritis, systemic JIA includes symptoms that have little to do with the joints, such as sudden high fevers and rashes.Alexei Grom, MD, is leading research at Cincinnati Children's that focuses on systemic onset JIA and an associated condition known as Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS).Grom's studies explore how natural killer (NK) cells function in these conditions. Recent observations suggest MAS patients have profoundly depressed NK function. A large subgroup of systemic JIA patients also experience similar abnormalities, which may make their bodies less able to control inflammation.
Cincinnati Children's has applied to renew an NIH Program Project grant to continue investigating gene expression profiles in JIA. The first cycle of the grant led to 26 published findings. Even more significant findings are on the horizon."It's a story of continuing gene and gene expression research," Glass says. "It's an incomplete story. But a vast amount of progress has been made understanding the molecular basis of JIA, and from that, people will introduce new treatments."

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. <>>When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. <>>(BRIAN ANDREW "DREW" CHALKER)<>>
People come into your life for a blessing or a lesson. I have probably blocked or delayed many blessings because of my natural tendency: my preference is not to engage in idle conversation at the grocery story, social events, airports, etc. So when I make a networking connection, I do not take it lightly as mere coincidence. By faith, I believe that when a person crosses your path, there is a purpose. It may not be obvious at first. I have learned to seek direction and clear understanding on whether the meeting is meant for a reason, a season, or a lifetime***. <>>
***To read Brian Chalker�s A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime Poem in its entirety, go to http://www.homebiztools.com/prayer.htm<>>
- A REASON is to help you with a need by providing direction or support. The relationship ends when the work is done.
- A SEASON is to help you with a transformation by growing or evolving through some temporary period of work.
- A LIFETIME is to help you with a foundation for building up all other relationships in your purposed work.<>>
I am becoming more pro-active at networking because I understand the value of letting people know what I do. I used to think that who I knew mattered most, but in today�s climate, who knows me is just as important. My travel schedule has increased so I have perfected the delivery of the business card, elevator pitch, and tag line to leave an impression. A closed mouth does not get fed and I refuse to miss any more blessings because I did not speak up and ask for what I want. <>>Last week, I was at a customer site in North Florida where my host introduced me as an engineer from Arkansas. Someone in the office volunteered that he was still waiting on an invitation to go duck hunting. I never mentioned that I was from Stuttgart, home of world renowned duck hunting. I compiled the market information I was intended to gather, and prayerfully, left a positive impression. Yet I walked away from the meeting, knowing that this was not coincidental, that one day, I will have full understanding of whether the interaction is for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. It is not happenstance that someone mentioned duck hunting in my presence. I am seeking direction on the blessing or the lesson.<>>
Networking is no longer an option; it is a requirement for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and community leaders. What do you do to leave an impression of your good works? Let us know by commenting or sending me an email at email@example.com.

Replacing the fuel pump on a 93 BMW 525i
I hooked up my code reader and there were no codes. Thought it might be a vacuum leak somewhere, so I checked and found nothing. Then the problem stopped for several weeks.
One morning I went out to go to work, cranked the starter and it wouldn't fire. Tried a few more times and it wouldn't start. Didn't have time to mess with it, so I drove my other car. The next day when I got home from work, I was going to find out what happened. I went out to the car, cranked it over and it started right up. I came away scratching my head over that.
It ran fine for about another month. I had driven home from work and had to park in a place other than my normal spot because my daughter had a bunch of friends over. Later in the afternoon, they had all left so I moved the car, it ran fine. It sat there all night until I went out to drive the car to Church. I cranked it, the motor acted like it wanted to start, but quickly died and then nothing.
Over time, I had found that you could hear the electric fuel pump fire up before you start the car. If I put the key to the #2 position, it would make a short whirring noise and then shut off once it pressurized the system. The morning that I tried to start it before Church, the whirring noise was more of a grinding noise. I tried starting it several more times during the day and nothing.
I decided that the fuel pump was DOA. I ordered a new one the next morning from autohausaz. I had to wait to make sure that I got the correct one. Apparently there are two different versions that work on my car, so I needed to remove the old one to make sure I ordered the right one. The two versions were about $70 different in price, so I was sure that mine would be the more expensive one. I got up early and started the job. I read the Bentley manual instructions on how to remove the pump, but skipped the part where it tells you to drain the fuel tank. Probably not the best way to do it, but it's what I did. All of those reports of gas tanks exploding are greatly exaggerated, I know from experience.
Anyway, the removal of the fuel pump/sending unit is fairly simple. I took some pictures and will post them with explanations below. BTW, when I took out the fuel pump, I discovered that I had the cheaper one, so I saved about $70, that doesn't normally happen to me, I always seem to be on the short end of the stick in situations like this.
The fuel pump is in the fuel tank. To get to it, there is an access hole under the carpet of the trunk. Here is a picture:
Here is a picture of it with the access cover off:
This picture is a close up of the top of the fuel pump/sending unit. To get it out, you have to remove the two fuel lines (I marked the left one with the electrical tape to make sure I put it back together right), the electrical connector and the eight mounting nuts that hold the plate to the tank. To remove the electrical connector, you have to slide the metal clip towards the back of the car. I put a small screwdriver in where I drew the green arrow and pried back and it came right off.
Once you have everything loose and disconnected, the plate will want to push upwards. There is enough play in the fuel lines and wiring to where you can take the sending unit out of the tank so you can get your hands on the retaining clips that hold the fuel pump in the mounts in the tank. Make sure that you make note of how everything is oriented as you remove it from the tank. The Fuel Lines from the mounting plate to the pump have to twist around the sending unit so it sits properly in the tank. I wasn't really careful when I removed mine, so it took me a bit to figure just how it went back in. I didn't take any pics of me removing the unit since no one was home when I was doing it. Here is a picture of the entire unit after I got it out of the tank:
The two red arrows I drew on the last picture (click on the picture to enlarge it) show the clips that hold the pump in it's mount in the tank.
This next pic show the wires connected to the old (bad) pump:
The new pump came with a different type of electrical connector, spade bits with a plastic clip the spade connectors clip in to. The pump is made by Bosch. They supplied everything you need to change the connectors except for the proper crimping tool for the job. I did my best to get them tight, but apparently my best wasn't good enough. I'll get to that in a bit. Here is a pic of the set up on the new pump. I made sure I oriented the wires the way they were on the old pump:
Also, note that I drew red arrows on the previous pic showing the clip locations from the top of the pump.
Other than changing the wires, all you have to do is transfer the fuel lines over to the new pump.
Installation is just reverse of removal. I would suggest that you replace the rubber gasket to the pump/sending unit. I took a couple of pics to show you how it goes on. I didn't pay attention when I removed the old one, so I had to play with it a bit to get it on right. There is a little indexing mark on the gasket to help you orient it right, I drew green arrows to show when it needs to be to go on correctly.
This pic shows the mark:
This one shows where it needs to be installed to fit properly (just to the right of the bolt):
Once you have everything back in and secured, make sure you torque the nuts to 89 inch pounds.
I then tried to start the car, but nothing. I tried a couple of more times, but it wouldn't start. I took the pump back out and found that I hadn't done such a good job of crimping the wires, one had come loose when I put it back in the tank. I tried to get the spade connectors out of the little plastic clip without damaging them, but was not successful. I ended up buying some solderless connectors of the same type at Radio Shack and put them on. The plastic clip was no good any longer, but the spade connectors were really tight once I put them on the spades.
I put everything back together and tried again, NOTHING. Cranked but no fire. The only other thing that I could think of that could be wrong was that the wires were not hooked up to the right terminals. I took everything back apart, switched the wires, put it back together, and SUCCESS. After being so careful to get the wires in the right position, Bosch swapped the terminal locations. I read through all of the installation material that came with the new pump and there was no mention of any wiring changes at all.
At least it works now, and it seems to actually run a bit stronger than before. I think maybe the old pump was weak before it finally gave up.
Good Luck if you try this, it isn't really very hard. If things had gone right the first time, the whole job would have taken me about an hour.
One other thing, I changed out the fuel filter while I was at it. They recommend doing so in the installation paperwork that comes with the pump.

ejohnson, sorry, but it's been nearly six years since I put up that post, I have no idea how much it cost back then or now. A simple internet search should provide the information you're looking for.

When Gail from My Repurposed Life found this old record cabinet, it was in really bad shape. It was scruffy and water damaged. Luckily, Gail has a great imagination and could see possibilities where most people would only see a trip to the trash bin.
Gail chose a basic back for the outside of this cabinet, and a brilliant blue for the inside. I really like the contrasting colors. This is a super cute piece that just needed a little extra love to start its new life.

Face front true believers! There is no time like now then to be a fan of comic books and superheroes, especially if you are a fan of Marvel Comics. These days, the world of Marvel has become a major part in the entertainment business with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and most of this is thanks to the super powered group: The Avengers. The team up of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk hit theaters in 2012 and became a massive success. Not only did the film pave the way for cinematic universes, but it created a new franchise that has moviegoers coming back for more. The studio's phase 2 has had individual sequels for several characters, but as the summer comes to a close, upon us is the continuation to the 2012 film- Avengers: Age of Ultron. The film will features the six heroes teaming up again, but this time the threat comes from the mechanical menace named Ultron.
The anticipated blockbuster has seen some major updates this week, which are eager to get fans excited for the film. The first update came yesterday when footage was revealed at a Q&A for Guardians of the Galaxy . The footage featured a brief action scene and showing off the new and improve Avengers Tower. For more details on the scenes, head over to comingsoon.net for the full story.
The fun does not stop there as today Entertainment Weekly had their first look in the 2015 film. The coverage featured nine new photos for the film. Each of these images had something to feature, including the confirmation that Don Cheadle will be making a appearance as James Rhodes/War Machine. You can see the gallery here.However, while that is great news for moviegoers, that is likely not what has your attention as you are too busy looking at the new cover to EW.
On the latest edition of the magazine, the next Avengers film is presented on the cover. There you see the likes of Captain America and Iron Man in their new attires. However the third person behind them is the film's villain: Ultron. Enteratainment Weekly gives moviegoers the first look at Ultron and his drone army. If any fan was skeptic that Ultron would not be a creation of Tony Stark, you can put that to bed as the nemesis does indeed resemble the Avenger's armor. There will be a better looks at Ultron in the future, but for now enjoy the first taste of this Marvel baddie.
It seems that Avengers: Age of Ultron has put its momentum into overdrive. There is still 11 month til the release of this blockbuster, but Marvel is going to no expense of showing off their anticipated movie; and this is only the beginning. There will likely be more at Comic-Con (which is weeks away) and who knows what will be featured from now to the end of the year. All that can be said that when it comes to the movie world, it is a good time to be a comicbook fan.
What do you think of the updates? Are you excited for the next Avengers film? Express your opinion in the comments below. Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 2,2015.

(Oct. 7, 2010) — Dr. Leonard Norman Primiano's work on the Father Divine Project, an authoritative multimedia study of an American religious movement, was recognized when he was among 12 educators selected to participate in a month-long digital workshop sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Dr. Primiano, chair and professor of religious studies at Cabrini College, traveled to the University of Southern California this summer for the workshop, which brought together innovative humanities scholars with cutting-edge designers and technologists in state-of-the-art production facilities to rethink the relationship of multi-modal-media to academic research, publishing and pedagogy.
The Father Divine Project (www.fatherdivineproject.org) is an online research database and multimedia documentary about the Peace Mission Movement, an international, interracial and celibate religious community founded in 1919 by the African-American minister Reverend M.J. Divine (Father Divine), who served as spiritual leader from 1907 until his death in 1965.
Dr. Primiano's project—undertaken with Will Luers, a media artist, researcher, and Visiting Professor in the Creative Media and Digital Culture Program at Washington State University, Vancouver—works to present the story and culture of the Peace Mission Movement.
Dr. Primiano and Luers maintain that by allowing followers of the mission to articulate their own belief system, framed by historical contexts and insights provided by scholars, as well as archival images and recordings, viewers of the project will be informed and challenged to make their own critical evaluations of this indigenous American religion.
Father Divine moved to Philadelphia in 1942. Four years later, he married Edna Rose Ritchings, a Canadian follower who, as Mother Divine, succeeded her husband as the movement's leader after his physical passing. The Peace Mission Movement still owns several properties in Philadelphia, including Woodmont, a 72-acre estate in Gladwyne, and the Circle Mission Church, Home and Training School on South Broad Street.
Other Fellows at the "Broadening the Digital Humanities" workshop included faculty from Brown, Dartmouth and New York Universities, the University of Illinois, the University of Rochester, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Southern California.
The workshop was hosted by USC's Humanities Research Institute, the Center for Multimedia Literacy at USC's School for Cinematic Studies, and the electronic journal Vectors.

Our Miracle: the revival of a Jewish Community, the restoration of an historic synagogue
See some historical documents.
As the only Synagogue in Hoboken, New Jersey,
today the United Synagogue of Hoboken gives living expression
to over 135 years of Jewish settlement in our community.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Hoboken was a major immigration port, and the Port of Embarkation for the Allied Forces in World War 1. Many local commercial and retail businesses were owned by Jewish residents of Hoboken, who probably numbered over 3,000 men, women and children. Jewish life in Hoboken was at its peak just after World War I, when there were six synagogues.
The United Synagogue of Hoboken was organized in 1947 through the union of the Hoboken Jewish Center -- founded in the 1920's as a Conservative congregation -- and the Congregation Star of Israel -- organized in 1910 as an Orthodox congregation.
The Hoboken Jewish Center was established by former members of the Star of Israel seeking a more liberal environment in the then-emerging Conservative movement. They purchased, occupied, and renovated a circa-1890 brown stone residence at 830 Hudson Street, adding a 120-seat sanctuary, gymnasium, and offices; and upstairs residences, occupied by the rabbi and the rabbi's family, a Learning Center teacher, and, at times, a caretaker.
In the 1940's and '50s, the upper floors were used as Hebrew School classrooms. From 1947 until 1997, 830 Hudson Street served as the United Synagogue of Hoboken's office, social and educational center, and rabbinical residence.
The Star of Israel Congregation built and occupied in 1915 a beautiful sanctuary and social hall at 115 Park Avenue. The building exemplifies traditional European 19th century synagogue architecture and sanctuary design. Its classic lines, extraordinary acoustic qualities, historic wood, murals, and stained glass finishes offer members and visitors a truly beautiful and inspiring place for prayer, study and celebration. In the 1960's and '70s, the building was only used for High Holy Day services, as Shabbat services and most community functions were held at 830 Hudson Street. (For information about the restoration of the Star of Israel, see Restoration)
Post-World War II suburbanization reduced the community's size to less than 300 by the early 1970's. In the 1980's, however, the community began to experience a resurgence, as young Jewish singles, couples, and families began to move into Hoboken and neighboring towns. In the late 1980's, the Children's Learning Center was founded to provide supplementary Jewish education to the children of the congregation.
The United Synagogue of Hoboken engaged part-time rabbis with orthodox smicha until the early 1980's. Since then, its pulpit has been occupied by graduates of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. In 1985, the United Synagogue of Hoboken embraced an egalitarian policy, and soon thereafter became formally affiliated as a member of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. In 1989 the congregation hired Rabbi Stephanie Dickstein, one of the first women graduates of the Rabbinical School of JTS.
From the 1930's into the 1960's, Hoboken boasted active chapters of the Hadassah, Histadrut, Pioneer Women, Zionist Organization of America, and an annual Israel Bond Campaign.
We witnessed in the 1990's a remarkable revival of both shul-centered and community-wide Jewish religious and cultural activity. A young and vigorous section of the National Council of Jewish Women was established and carries on an active program of events and community service projects. The United Synagogue of Hoboken was instrumental in the re-organization of the Jewish Family Service of Jersey City, Bayonne, and Hoboken; Hoboken had never before been a part of this well-established social service organization.
The United Jewish Communities Young Leadership Division conducts the annual UJC Campaign in Hoboken.
A special group has arisen in the past few years, an outlet for Jewish young adults (in their 20's and 30's) to meet and connect with other Jewish young adults in the greater Hoboken area.
The Rabbinical leadership represents the Jewish community through participation in the Hoboken Clergy Coalition, and also among Hudson County's Jewish clergy. The synagogue has received a number of grants and awards for innovative programming.
In recent years, our Children's Learning Center has steadily grown to a current enrollment of over 100 children. The Learning Center has been the recipient of grants from the Hordes Foundation of Hudson County. A full program of adult education classes is also offered. The last ten years have brought an influx of young adults to Hoboken, including large numbers of Jewish singles in their 20's and 30's. A very diverse and transient Jewish population challenges the congregation's ingenuity and creativity to embrace all who come: young, old, traditional, and alternative lifestyles.
Shabbat and Festival services are remarkable for their degree of member participation and leadership. Over the years, a small core of long-time members with synagogue, cantorial, and Jewish communal leadership skills has taught those skills to others, producing significant numbers of members prepared and qualified to lead services, read Torah, chant Haftorah, lead discussions, and deliver D'vrei Torah. Children, even if sometimes noisy, are always welcome in the sanctuary during services.
In 1997, the historic decision was made to sell the aging Jewish Center building at 830 Hudson Street, using the proceeds to partially fund an addition to the Star of Israel building at Park Avenue to include classroom and office space and elevator access to all floors. An extraordinarily successful capital campaign, spearheaded by loyal and generous members of the community, enabled us to raise the necessary funds for this project, which was dedicated in the Spring of 2000 as The Kaplan Family Learning Center.
A second campaign successfully raised enough funds to renovate the Star of Israel sanctuary and social hall. Re-dedication of the Star of Israel took place at Hanukkah, 2011. A wonderful film was made about our history and the process of restoration. We also applied to and received designation as United States Historical Property and New Jersey Historical Property.
We are now in the process of replacing windows in the sanctuary with stained glass, designed and created by Susan Klein, with the help of members of the congregation. Up-to-date information on the status of the stained glass is available on this website.

Announcement of an open house for the Hoboken Talmud Torah (religious school) at 79 Grand Street (in Yiddish). It appears to be an event for community leaders to see the achievements of the kids, to gain an understanding of what is being accomplished with the communal funds that have been invested in Jewish education in Hoboken. It is signed, "The Board of Education." (Sign was printed at "J Dubin Up-To-Date Printer, 361 Newark Street, Hoboken NJ")

Drifting nearer to auld lang syne time is always a prime occasion for reflection, so we take this opportunity to look at some notable sporting centennial anniversaries for both this year and the next.
Drifting nearer to auld lang syne time is always a prime occasion for reflection, so we take this opportunity to look at some notable sporting centennial anniversaries for both this year and the next.
Like 2012, 1912 was also an Olympiad, with the games staged in Stockholm, Sweden (notably, the first to utilize an automated timing system). Stockholm Olympic Stadium was constructed for the event, and is still in use as the home to Swedish football team Djurgarden. It was also the backdrop to many of Jim Thorpe's greatest Olympic achievements, en route to winning gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon (that he was forced to relinquish the following year, due to confusion regarding his professional status-- but which were re-awarded in 1982, 30 years after Thorpe's death).
For many years following the 1912 games, Djurgarden rival AIK called Olympic Stadium home, though AIK (as well as the Swedish national team) now plays in Rasunda Stadium, which is an incarnation of another 1912 Olympics venue on the same site.
2012 also marks the 100th awarding of the Grey Cup, which will be presented to the Canadian Football League champion after a game in Toronto's Rogers Centre on Sunday, November 25th. The award itself has had numerous adventures and purposes (for many years being given to amateurs, initially intended for hockey before becoming a rugby trophy, and at various times being broken, stolen, and even ransomed)-- but since the 1950s, the Grey Cup has been granted to Canada's gridiron-style professional football champion.
This familiar brand of football harkens back to 1912, too, as that was the first season which included such changes as teams being granted four downs instead of three to try and gain ten yards (on fields of play that were now 100 yards in length, rather than 110), and touchdowns increased in value from five points to six. These changes, combined with Notre Dame's expanded implementation of the forward pass in the 1913 season, cemented the beginning of the modern era of football as we now know it.
Despite a lost (if eventful) campaign in Boston, Fenway Park of course turned 100 in 2012, as well. 1912 was far more memorable for the Red Sox, as they opened Fenway by beating the New York Highlanders in extra innings-- only days after the sinking of the Titanic, and against an opponent that sported their distinctive pinstripes for the first time that season, and who would change their name to the Yankees in 1913.
Boston closed out their inaugural season in Fenway by besting the New York Giants for the Red Sox' second World Series title-- in the only best-of-seven Series to go eight games (due to a darkness-induced tie in Game 2), and the first to be decided in the final at-bat. The great Christy Mathewson, who won his 300th game in 1912, had three complete games but two losses and a no-decision for the Giants, and posted a 0.94 mark in the brand-new official statistic measuring a pitcher's earned run average.
Of nearly equal importance at the ballpark, 1912 was also when Cracker Jack began including "a prize in every box."
2012 sporting centenarians include Toe Blake and Sonja Henie on the ice, and an amazing triumvirate of Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and Ben Hogan on the links.
And as we turn the calendar to 2013, we will see the 100th anniversary of Jesse Owens' birth, as well as another impressive trio: a veritable Mount Rushmore of football coaches in the persons of Woody Hayes, Bear Bryant, and Vince Lombardi.
Both Owens and Hayes are honored in and around Ohio Stadium and throughout the Ohio State campus; the Bear is memorialized with a statue and is half the namesake of Bryant-Denny Stadium (as well as numerous other sites at the University of Alabama); and Lambeau Field has a Lombardi Avenue address, where there also appears a statue of the coach (Lombardi also is honored in the Ring of Fame at FedEx Field for his one season with the Redskins, as well).
Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium turns a century old in 2013, which also marks the 100th anniversary of Donerail winning the Kentucky Derby as the biggest long shot in the race's history, going off at an incredible 91-1.
1913 saw the founding of the Federal League of Base Ball Clubs, which quickly went away but left us with the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field, and it was also the season that the Brooklyn Dodgers began play in Ebbets Field, the design features of which heavily influenced the New York Mets' current Citi Field.
Whether it is by great performances and performers standing the test of time, developments along the way to the games we love, or through the influence, repurposing or continuous use of particular venues, sports-- like any good history subject-- demonstrates once again that the past is indeed prologue. Happy 100th, one and all.

Spike Dykes
It was Albert Einstein who once said the true measure of a man is not in what he accomplishes, but in what he has given. He could have been talking about Spike Dykes.
For 13 seasons as the head coach of the Texas Tech football program Dykes has given more than should have ever been expected. He has given his time, his talents, his resources - but more importantly - Dykes has given his heart to Texas Tech.
The longest tenured coach in Texas Tech football history has finally given enough. Following the final game in Jones Stadium of the 1999 football season, Dykes announced that after more than 40 years of prowling a football sideline he is retiring.
Amid swirling conjecture Dykes held true to what has long been the benchmark of his program. Not flinching or wavering through the speculation, he officially told no one until he gathered his players around him in the post-game locker room following Saturday's game. The players have always come first, and this day would be no different.
Dykes has accomplished much at Texas Tech, but his biggest accomplishment is instilling in a generation of Red Raiders a soul that is not timid, a determined heart unafraid to fail and a spirit that dared to compete.
While some others have drawn their drive from the glitz and glitter that can be big-time college football, Dykes has spent his career drawing inspiration from the ability to simply compete. A quote from Theodore Roosevelt, hanging on his office wall where only he can see, has been the creed that has governed Dykes' football career.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. ...Theodore Roosevelt
William Taylor Dykes long ago put his stamp on the Red Raider football program and retires as the dean of coaches in the Big 12 Conference and the winningest coach in Texas Tech history at age 61.
There have been 12 head coaches in Texas Tech's 73-year football history. Only Dykes and Cawthon lasted more than a decade. Serving as Texas Tech's head coach longer than anyone else is only one in a long line of unprecedented achievements for Dykes when its comes to Red Raider football:
His success is quite an accomplishment when considering Dykes took over a program that had experienced only one winning season in the previous eight years. He's helped make it so competitive that the Red Raiders played in a school-record four consecutive bowls games in the 1990s and in six overall during his 13-year tenure.
Few coaches anywhere were a more perfect fit than Dykes for Texas Tech. He not only has elevated the program into consistently challenging for conference championships, he also won admirers throughout the game for his appreciation of traditional West Texas values and his genuine love for people.
Dykes is one of the game's all-time "straight shooters." His priorities start and end with people, primarily his players, staff and family. Everything else takes a back seat.
A member of the Texas High School Coaches Association's Hall of Honor, Dykes is equally at home on a sideline or enjoying chicken fried steak with the regulars at some out of the way diner.
Through 41 seasons Dykes' reason for coaching has never wavered.
"You coach because you love kids, and if you do that, every day is rewarding. That way you never get your priorities out of perspective," Dykes said. "It's never been important to me for this to be `Spike Dykes' team'. All I've ever wanted to be known as is just `Coach'."

Rodnelle Hadley begins her ninth year with the Tulane women's basketball team, but her fourth in her current position as assistant coach.
Hadley's primary duties include scouting, recruiting, player development and team travel. She also serves as the coordinator of the Green Wave Hoop Camps.
A native of nearby Metairie, La., Hadley brings several years of coaching experience to the Wave sidelines. She spent seasons coaching the Kenner Angles in the New Orleans Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) ranks, helping the squad to a fifth-place showing at the 16 & under national tournament in July of 1999.
After graduating from Tulane in 1998, Hadley spent one season as the women's basketball team's administrative assistant before joining the coacing staff.
Hadley was a four-year letterwinner for the Green Wave from 1994-98, leading the team in assists during her senior campaign. She also ranked third on the squad in steals. During her four seasons, the Wave compiled an 88-32 record (.733) and earned four consecutive berths to the NCAA Tournament - the first such trips to the Big Dance in school history. With Hadley at the point guard spot, Tulane won its first-ever Conference USA championship in 1997 and claimed the C-USA Tournament title that season, as well. Hadley was also a three-time member of the C-USA Academic Honor Roll. She also made Dean's List three straight years. In 1998, Hadley was the recipient of the C.J. Lenz Award.
Before arriving at Tulane, Hadley was a three-time all-state selection at Ecole Classique High School in Metairie. She was named the 1994 Athlete of the Year by the Times-Picayune and was selected to the Louisiana High School All-Star team as a senior.
