Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
So, single game tickets went on sale yesterday (yawn), a couple of weeks later than what had been the norm for many years. I used to go at it on Day One via phone and computer both, from the opening bell until whenever I finally broke down the door to the virtual waiting room. Usually that was mid-afternoon and by then the pickings were slim for whatever prime games hadn't already sold out.
Yesterday it was mid-afternoon before I even recalled that the ticket windows were open. Then I tapped into the Cub website for the sake of both old times and curiosity.
Opening Day was still wide open. So was the White Sox series. The Saturday Boston game in June was down to nothing but $140 (!) bleacher seats (that's not including handling/processing fees) but the Friday and Sunday games were very available. Weekend series with the Cardinals in July and September still featured full menus of sections and price tiers. I checked again before I hit the sack last night and all of the above was still true. I couldn't find a sold out game. Feeling almost sorry for the organization I plunged in and bought four in the bleachers for a game vs. the Giants on Labor Day weekend when my alma mater Iowa Hawkeyes will also be in town for their season opener at Soldier Field. I got 'em for the comparatively low price of $27 (silver tier) plus about another nine bucks per in add-on fees.
The brand appears a bit tarnished after prolonged storage in fifth place.
But the thick manual the new management regime has been rushing to assemble apparently isn't limited to on-field ways and means of doing business.
One of my spring rites is to get pocket schedules from the Cub marketing commandoes. I'm unable to find them here in Des Moines, even so closely removed from headquarters as the team's Triple A outpost. They always oblige, but never so promptly or cordially as this year. The same day I e-mailed my request I got a reply from Barb, a "Wrigley Field Ambassador" assuring me the schedules were already in the mail. Sure enough, they arrived a couple of days later, tucked inside a handwritten note from Barb. She also tossed in a Cub decal and expressed her hope that I'd be able to pay (and I do mean pay) a visit to The Vaunted Confines sometime in 2012.
There's one born every minute. The trick this year will be luring three million of us enabling suckers through the turnstiles again. But if they can get someone who's used to driving across town to watch guys like LaHair and Barney play for free to spend lots of time and money for the privilege of watching them do less in Chicago than they did here in Des Moines, who knows? Maybe they can turn that trick.
15 minutes until first peek at the 2012 Cubs on WGN. I can hardly wait to see what I bought into.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
Well at least you WON'T see a wrestling match between Z and gatorade, you will not see Aram grounding into a rally killing double play, and you probably won't see snow on labor day.
Other than that, things are looking up!
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
"you will not see Aram grounding into a rally killing double play"
you're not going to like ian stewart.
oh wait, people have to be on base for that to happen...nevermind.
-edit- two line drive singles to RF rather than two ground balls to the 2nd baseman today so far...keep it up...or keep it further up and put it over a wall.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
GOOD timing, CRUNCH!
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
it's more about how much stuff he's going to put toward 2nd/RF as far as the DP thing goes. we're going to see a lot of it.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
You also wont see ARam hit game winning home runs. You also won't see .300/30/100 from the Cubs 3b dude.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
Empty stats. Aram is about Aram. Only when shit doesn't matter. good riddance.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
3rd all time team slugging, .356 ob% over 8.5 years.
cubs could use more empty stats players...and his arm.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
If the Cubs had 7 other starters as shitty as ARam, imagine how terrible they would be!!!! Aram totally sucked it up in the 2003 playoffs. .887 OPS(5th best in team history)with the Cubs in 1100+ games. What a loser.
If ARam sucks, Santo sucks.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
he may not range as well as others left-to-right, but you couldn't drop a bunt or weak hit on the grass in front of him. he could throw off-balance and on the run with the best of them.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
While I wasn't unhappy he's gone with our current plans, I'll just never get the hate for ARam completely unwarranted by his stats. It's almost visceral. Then again, Crunch has that for Ian Stewart so eh (though for sure ARam is a better player).
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
ian stewart kicked muh dog and it up n' died.
also, i could care less about his stats. i care about what he does putting a bat through the zone.
at least im not getting the "dubois treatment" backlash. people can feel free to call me a dumbass/wrong-as-hell or whatever about my view on stewart, but i'm not feeling the hate level from the dubois era view on dubois's swing.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
Really? I'm the exact opposite. I don't care how he swings the bat long as he gets the stats.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
that's the thing...i don't think he'll get the stats of old based on how he swings a bat.
i'm projecting based on what i see him doing recently with a bat, not what he's done in the past.
anyone who pitches him low or misses middle is playing with fire. you can lure him into ground outs and line drives (most line drives by anyone goes for a hit) pitching him up because of his swing mechanics.
i honestly think he'd be better off...with his swing...letting it loose hard at the expense of a few more Ks in order to elevate the ball more. it's just a shame he's not a guy who could temper those extra Ks with walks (like j.burnitz).
keep your eye on the ball
The trade for Aramis was a good one, especially initially. I do not think anyone would argue about that. We loved his RBIs and some years even his avg. HOWEVER, in more recent years his numbers have been down, AND there is little question that he did not bring it to the park every game. the former we can overlook to some degree, the later we can not from a veteran. Based on this, do you sign him to multi-year contract given that you want to change the culture of the organization? I say, no. I'd rather have the Cubans in the system.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
I certainly will never begrudge his best years, but he completely was a no-show in 2010 for the first three months.
It was a great trade getting him and Kenny Lofton was very valuable for the Cubs as well. But it was time for him to move on for the amount of money and years the guy wanted.
I wish him well except against the Cubs.
The team needed his bat to remain in the thick of things and He failed again and agan.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
"again and again" sure seems like exaggeration to me. He had some slow starts and a few injury-shortened seasons. And he still managed to be the Cubs' most productive third baseman since Santo.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
I think the real question in all this is, did we want to give Aram three more years or so at third. He wanted a longer term contract, and he deserved his free agency. Part of backing up the truck means doing things like letting a guy like Aram go. He's getting slower and he is always an injury waiting to happen. But I'll still miss seeing him at the plate, and I'll cringe when he comes up against the Cubs. It was nice to have somebody FINALLY fill that Santo gap for several years. But it was time to say goodbye, as well. On a team that is trying to free itself of insidious long term contracts, hooking up another one wasn't a good idea for a team that has performed the way it has lately.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
If we knew it would've taken only 3yrs/$36 million, maybe I we'd have been more pro-signing Ramirez. That last year might be a tough pill to swallow...but I'd bet he's solid the first two.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
I didn't realize we were talking about resigning Aram. I was only pointing out that Aramis did not fail again and again. I was perfectly happy to see him go given the direction of the organization.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
The Cubs weren't any good in 2010 whether he hit or not. Now, his no-show didn't help, of course. He was arguably the team's best hitter during his tenure. I've never gotten the hatred...it's all related to him "not hustling" or whatever. Bottom line, the guy produced.

Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
What's really annoying about the article is how different the headline is from the article. The headline makes it sound like the Cubs have pretty much nailed it, and the article is much fuzzier.
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
that's because the headline is designed to make you read the article and the article is designed to make you wish you had not read the headline.

chris carpenter update (the evil one...well, not really, but he plays for STL on a voluntary basis)
"Chris Carpenter was diagnosed Saturday with a bulging cervical disc in his neck.
The Cardinals haven't decided when the veteran right-hander is going to be able to resume throwing, but Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says a bulging disc is "not nearly as bad as nerve damage," which the Cards originally thought Carpenter had."
Re: Virtual Waiting Room Virtually Gone
bored...checking stats on one-time "maybe" cubs signing ricky jacquez (210Ks in 120ip in his last 2 years of highschool...all 5'9" of him).
he's got years to turn it around, but right now he's a little wild...bit hittable...still getting the Ks.
they're using him as a college 3-4 pitcher (sometimes pen, sometimes starting)...not at all uncommon for a college freshman.

Still can't get the Theo Compensation venom out of his bloodstream.
Fortunately, these are the only Cub references in his Sunday Baseball Notes.
1. The PA announcer at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter made this introduction Thursday: "Now pitching for the Red Sox, 'the other' Chris Carpenter.'' The "other'' Carpenter proved he was no relation when he walked three batters in the inning, including one with the bases loaded.
2. Speaking of Carpenter, Thursday's appearance against the Cardinals was a flashback to the command issues he has had. The Red Sox are impressed with his live fastball (96 m.p.h.), but privately they are not pleased with what they wound up having to settle for as compensation for Theo Epstein.

When the Stetson football teams' four senior captains got together to draft squads for the Hatters' spring game, defensive back Donald Payne issued a stern challenge to the captains of the White squad.
Consider that challenge answered.
Payne told quarterback Ryan Tentler that he and his squad would never be able to score more than 14 points against his Green team defense. He even put dinner on it.
The White team answered, jumping out to a quick 16-0 lead before cruising to a 45-21 victory over the White at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium on Friday night.
"The captains picked the teams, and right away Donald said the Green team was going to win," Tentler said. "They thought they would put together a powerhouse defensive backfield and then said they were going to dominate our team. That is not quite what happened, and it was really fun."
Tentler had as much to do with the White teams' decisive victory as anyone. The Chicago native threw for 160 yards and two touchdown on 9-of-16 passing while also rushing for 70 yards and a score. His backup at quarterback for the White, newcomer Louis Pappas, also blistered the Green secondary, completing 10-of-13 passes for 142 yards.
Darius McGriff had the biggest night of the 10 White team receivers to catch passes. His evening included just three receptions, but he piled up 117 yards, thanks in large part to an 89-yard TD pass from Tentler to open the second quarter. That play pushed the White team to a 23-0 lead.
Tentler added insult to injury later in the quarter, rushing for a seven yard score to make it 29-0.
After the White team took such a commanding lead, the rest of the game was fairly even. Green quarterback Jonathan Jerozal completed 11-of-18 passes for 95 yards and two scores while backup Blake Plattsmier hit on 8-of-18 attempts for 142 yards while also rushing for 60 yards.
Rob Coggin was the leading receiver for the Green squad with six receptions for 91 yards and a score. Tight end Austin Marks also had a TD catch for the Green while Mike Yonker had the lone rushing score for the losing side.
"This spring has been a lot more fun than last year," Tentler said. "We have been down some coaches, so the players have had to take it upon themselves a lot more, and I think that has brought the team together. It has just been a lot more fun."
Head coach Roger Hughes said the biggest difference to him this spring is the progression the team has made.
"We are just so much further along this year than we were last year," Hughes said. "We understand the schemes better and we are executing better. It is clear to see that we are farther ahead than we were last year."
While the offense stole the show, there were some solid defensive performances turned in as well. Payne did all that he could do to help the Green teams' effort by recording a game-high 13 tackles. That total included a pair of sacks. He also recovered a fumble and blocked a PAT kick in the scrimmage.
Linebacker Dylan Wydronkowski and safety Bobby Jakubek led the White team with nine total tackles each. Wydronkowski also had a sack and a QB hurry. Defensive back Glenn Adesoji set up the first points of the game for the White team with a 75-yard return of a Jerozal interception.
The Hatters will come back to work next week with two final practice sessions to cap spring drills. While the members of the White team will celebrate their victory this weekend, the work of improving as a team will continue.
"We were the winners this spring, but we are going to move on," Tentler said. "We have Warner to look forward to and we are going to go back to being one team. Donald Payne is my teammate again, and I know he is tired of losing."

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Following a stellar boating season, Thursday, Sept. 20 will be the last day of operations for the Northstar and Homewood boat inspection stations. Boat inspections and decontaminations will still be available at the Alpine, Spooner and Meyers stations until Sept. 30, 2012. On Oct. 1, Tahoe boat inspections will move to select launch ramps and winter hours will begin. Tahoe RCD inspectors will be stationed at Cave Rock and Lake Forest boat launches seven days a week, 6 a.m.-4 p.m., weather permitting. Boats with attached Lake Tahoe wire inspection seals and valid Tahoe inspection stickers will be permitted to launch during these times, but any new inspections are required to take place during daylight hours. Hot water decontaminations will be available through the month of October, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. for watercraft that are not clean, drained and dry. Additional fees may apply for the decontamination process. Boats with intact inspection seals will still be permitted to launch at Sand Harbor, Obexer's and Tahoe Keys Marina, but no inspections or decontaminations will take place at these locations."It is more efficient to move inspections back to the boat ramps with the decrease in boater traffic during the slower fall and winter months," said Ted Thayer, aquatic invasive species program manager at TRPA, "but we expect to continue operations at roadside inspection locations for the 2013 summer boating season. We appreciate the continued cooperation from Lake Tahoe boaters in helping to protect our amazing recreational resources from the growing threat of aquatic invasive species."Inspection and boat ramp hours are weather permitting, and may be delayed or closed during winter storm conditions. Boaters are encouraged to arrive clean, drained and dry and to confirm hours and inspection locations online at TahoeBoatInspections.com or by calling the Tahoe Boat Inspection Hotline toll-free at 888-824-6267. Private launch facilities should be contacted directly for winter hours and weather closures.About the Lake Tahoe Watercraft Inspection ProgramThe Watercraft Inspection Program is part of the Lake Tahoe Aquatic Invasive Species Program which is implemented by 40 public and private partner organizations including federal, state and local jurisdictions, research partners, public utility districts, and private marinas, with major funding from the US Fish andamp; Wildlife Service. The state, federal and local agencies comprising the Lake Tahoe Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinating Committee have provided leadership, direction and resources to fulfill this program's mission of prevention, detection and control of aquatic invasive species in the Lake Tahoe Region. About the Tahoe Resource Conservation DistrictThe Tahoe Resource Conservation District's (Tahoe RCD) mission is to promote the conservation and improvement of the Lake Tahoe Basin's soil, water and related natural resources by providing leadership, information, programs, and technical assistance to all land managers, owners, organizations, and residents. The Tahoe RCD is a non-regulatory, grant funded, public agency that works with a variety of partner agencies to implement projects, programs and outreach which currently focus on erosion control, runoff infiltration, terrestrial and aquatic invasive species control, and conservation landscaping.

At the very least, there should be a "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me) option and the like when sending a feedback for a review. Then for the person wanting to checkin, the gate could require at least 2 "LGTM" reviews to checkin along with other requirements (successful build, unit tests, code coverage, etc.)

KATY WINN/Associated Press
KATY WINN/Associated Press
Bruce Seidel is confident the future of food television won�t be seen on television.
Which is why the Food Network and Cooking Channel veteran has checked out of network TV to oversee the launch of YouTube�s latest original content channel, HUNGRY. The channel, which will go live July 2, is expected to feature a freewheeling blend of how-to and celebrity-driven food videos.
The venture is part of the Google Inc.-owned video site�s plan to launch about 100 channels of niche-oriented programming. Earlier this month, YouTube pledged to spend about $200 million to help market those channels across Google and its advertising network.
Seidel was drawn to the project in part for YouTube�s ability to create a more direct community with viewers than generally is possible with network television. It also offered more flexibility not just for viewers, but also for producers, who can more easily experiment with format and content.
YouTube also offers an enviably large and young demographic, truly the icing on advertisers� cake.
�The wonderful thing about YouTube is it has 800 million users worldwide and they all need to eat,� Seidel said in a telephone interview. �I�d like to get just 1 percent of them.�
YouTube content historically has been dominated by low- and no-budget user-generated videos. But Seidel, a former top executive at Food Network who oversaw the launch of its sister network, Cooking Channel, said HUNGRY will feature professionally produced videos worthy of any network.
At launch, videos will stick mostly with YouTube convention, running one to three minutes, with new episodes posted weekly. Seidel said they also are eager to explore longer format videos. By the end of the summer, the channel hopes to have close to a dozen series, all produced in partnership with multimedia studio Electus-IAC, which is responsible for the channel�s content.
One of the series will feature fellow Food Network alumnus Duff Goldman, the cake master behind that channel�s reality show �Ace of Cakes.� Goldman�s YouTube program, �Duff�s Food World,� will be a sometimes irreverent variety show focused on food pop culture, including visits to unusual restaurants and spotlights of humorous food clips from the web and TV.
Goldman also will serve as a talent and programming consultant for HUNGRY. In that role, he said he is eager to push food television both forward and backward.
�Basically, the cooking show on television is almost dead,� he said. �When you look at the programming on any kind of cable food channel, you kind of find that everything is being replaced by travelogues, competition, reality. There is not a lot of instruction.�
YouTube�s ability to promote a simple two-minute video on how to roast a chicken � something simply not done on network television � is just as alluring as creating content that pushes boundaries, Goldman said.
�It�s magic. It doesn�t have any boundaries. I don�t need to make it 22 minutes. I don�t need to make any sponsors happy. I can get away with stuff,� he said.
Other series already in production include �Brothers Green,� which features a pair of Brooklyn brothers who are musicians and �underground caterers� tackling new culinary challenges every week, and �Casserole Queens,� which focuses on two Austin women who favor retro food and entertaining.
Flexing its ability to focus on micro-niches, HUNGRY also plans series on pork, gluten-free cooking and Italian desserts.
The point is to simply try new things, Goldman said. If it works, it will continue. If it doesn�t, it won�t.
�Food is very precious. People get a little too serious about it,� he said. �There�s room for the very serious culinarians. But I also like to laugh at myself. So we�re going to do a lot of comedy. Because there�s a lot of comedy in food.�
Earlier this month, YouTube announced the launch of several other channels, including Wigs, which will focus on scripted dramas for women; and TeamUSA, which will feature content ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., showed support of the project and said the maglev train "will safely and efficiently move people between southern California and Las Vegas."
As more nations begin to roll out maglev train systems, critics in the U.S. grow increasingly frustrated over the lack of support of organized high speed trains in the United States.
With speeds up to 300 MPH, the maglev train will be able to transport passengers between the two locations, about 250 miles apart, in less than two hours. Most drivers who go from the Los Angeles or Anaheim area to Las Vegas are forced to take Interstate 15, but the highway routinely is clogged with gridlock during rush hour.
Congress must now choose the maglev system over other train projects under consideration by the government, including a diesel-electric train that was proposed after a 2005 funding mishap that delayed the Disneyland-Las Vegas line. Japan was the first nation to launch a diesel-hybrid train system, but the train was twice as expensive to build as a regular train.
The United States Maglev Coalition (USMC) is an organization wanting to develop maglev technology in the U.S. The group helped the federal government fix a September 2005 report that "unfairly and erroneously criticized maglev's costs while ignoring its benefits."
Maglev trains are extremely expensive to create, so $45M could easily lead to a multi-billion dollar investment. The Shanghai maglev train network cost almost $30M per mile to create, and a proposed route in Japan is estimated to cost up to $82B to complete.
Germany, Canada, England, China and Japan are included in the small selection of countries that either have working maglev systems or are testing maglev technology.
quote: After all, if it even remotely made some sense, it wouldn't be hard to find investors willing to put up the money, and the thing would have been built years ago.
quote: Exactly. You're basically making everyone pay for a system that only a small fraction of people will use.
quote: If I want lunch, should I be allowed to go take a dollar out of the people around me's wallets?
quote: Nope, that'd be stealing. Is this really the same?
quote: It never fails to amaze me the degree to which people will evade the nature of an act and mindlessly sanctify any and all forms of government appropriation under the rubric of "democracy" or whatever they think justifies it.
quote: Yes, I would favor a PRIVATELY FUNDED maglev. No, I will not accept that taking people's hard-earned money by force to pay for a government funded maglev, is ok.
quote: The only *moral* act of a government is one that protects its citizens' rights to their lives and property. Anything else is just the mob justifying its immoral use of force under the cowardly rubric of "democracy".

The Building Analyst Quick Start Program consists of two online training programs: Principles of Green Buildings and Performing Comprehensive Building Assessments.
Principles of Green Buildings
This is the first online program of its kind, developed and written in partnership with experts from Advanced Energy of North Carolina. It covers everything an individual in the building, remodeling, or trade industry needs to know to make buildings perform more efficiently. You'll learn about critical topics ranging from insulation to moisture management to indoor air quality basics.
Performing Comprehensive Building Assessments
This program expands the theories and concepts taught in the Principles of Green Buildings program. Designed for those entering or looking to expand their expertise in the industry, this program features a task-oriented format that will apply practical, real-world situations in each module.
Performing Comprehensive Building Assessments is intended for students who are engaged in conducting building assessments, energy audits, performance testing, energy ratings, green ratings, rating verifications, quality assurance, quality installations, building inspections, home inspections, home tune-ups, or any other related building improvement, evaluation, or repair services that make changes to the building as a system.
Building Analyst Quick Start
Students who successfully complete the Building Analyst Quick Start program will have demonstrated that they have the requisite knowledge and ability to apply these concepts to real-world buildings and their systems. However, it's important to point out that there is no program, lab, or other educational substitute for time spent in the field, working in buildings and experiencing situations first-hand. This program is designed to put you into close simulations of situations you can expect to encounter in the real world. It requires you to learn what the various assessment tools and techniques are, when to use them, and how to use the information gained to prioritize decision making and how to report this information to various stakeholders.
This program has also been designed to help prepare individuals on the path to various NATE, NARI, BPI, RESNET, and other industry credentials related to green building performance. Instruction aligns with ANSI/ACCA Quality Installation and Maintenance Standards. This program is recognized by North American Technician Excellence (NATE) and Building Performance Institute (BPI) for 28 hours of continuing education (28 CEHs) applicable to NATE and BPI recertification. Must obtain a 75% or higher to obtain CEH recognition.
Upon registering, you're given ninety days to complete each section of this program.

Apple or hate it, it's impossible to deny that Apple knows how to
make a hit product. The company currently has the largest
market cap of any tech company in the world. After
returning from medical leave Apple CEO Steve Jobs returned swinging
for the fences, announcing the
iPad tablet computer in January. The iPad launched in Wi-Fi
form on April 3 (U.S.), in 3G
form on April 30 (U.S.), and finally in nine more
countries on
May 28.Apple quickly blazed through sales of 1
million and 2
million units, leading some analysts to predict it could
sell as many as 8
million units this year.It certainly looks like
that's a strong possibility, considering that Apple just sold its 3
millionth iPad on Monday, only 80 days after the device's
launch. Steve Jobs cheered the news, stating, "People are
loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives. We're
working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more
people around the world, including those in nine more countries next
month."With the iPad, the tablet has become a hot
new field of computing, which many say could rival netbooks
or even traditional PCs. After Apple's success many companies
have scrambled
to release tablets, but none of them have made it to market in
the U.S. yet.What makes the sales of the iPad particularly
impressive is that they were generated during the traditionally weak
summer months. Between back-to-school shopping and the holiday
season, Apple can anticipate sales to possibly rise in the near
term.Given this, we would raise the previous analyst
estimates and actually estimate that Apple will sell between 9
million and 11 million iPads this year.
quote: Considering how tech oriented the world is becoming what you say just makes the future look more bleak for Apple. It also explains why Apple doesn't do so well in the rest of the world apart from the iPod. They actually have logic, memory, and the ability to learn. As a result, they've found other products far more suitable.
quote: Because Techies believe that these are the real reason people buy Apple products (other than the more obvious reason which is that consumers actually like them a lot) Techies also believe that this state of affairs cannot possibly last and therefore the final piece of the Techie response to Apple falls into place. Deranged by TAC Techies often come up with the most delusional statement of all - Apple is doomed.

Diagnosing Neurologic Disorders in Children: Possible Tests
Diagnosing Neurologic Disorders in Children: Possible Tests
This sheet describes possible tests used to diagnose and gather information about neurologic disorders in children. Your child's healthcare provider will tell you which of these tests your child needs.
|Your child's healthcare provider can go over test information with you and answer any questions.
Angiogram (also called an arteriogram): a procedure that checks the health of the blood vessels (arteries or veins) going to and inside the brain. During the procedure, a catheter (thin plastic tube) is placed in a blood vessel. Fluid called contrast dye is used to make the blood vessels show up clearly on x-rays. Specialized angiograms can also be done in combination with CT or MRI (see below).
CT (computed tomography) scan: a test that combines x-rays and computer technology to form detailed pictures of the brain. Radiation is used during the test.
EEG (electroencephalography): a test that records the electrical activity of the brain. During the test, round discs with wires (electrodes) are placed on the scalp with glue or paste. The electrodes transmit electrical signals that record electrical brain activity.
EMG (electromyography): a test done to check muscle and nerve function in the arms and legs. During the test, small needle electrodes are placed in certain muscles. As your child rests and tightens these muscles, the electrical activity is recorded. This test is often done with a nerve conduction study (see below).
Evoked potentials: tests that check how fast and well the body's nerves respond to specific types of sensory stimulation. These can include flashing lights, loud sounds, or electrical signals sent to the arms and legs. During the test, electrodes are placed on the skin. The electrical activity is then recorded.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan: a test that uses strong magnets, radio waves, and computer technology to form detailed pictures of the brain. No radiation is used during the test.
NCS (nerve conduction study): a test that checks the function of the nerves in the arms and legs. During the test, electrodes are placed on the skin along the pathways of certain nerves. An electrical current is then used to stimulate these nerves. The electrical activity is recorded.
PET (positron emission tomography): a test that uses computer technology to take a picture of brain activity rather than brain structure. During the test, a glucose-based compound is injected into the bloodstream. The compound helps highlight areas of high and low brain activity in the picture.
Spinal tap (also called a lumbar puncture): a procedure that checks the health of the brain, meninges, and spinal cord by analyzing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). During the test, the low back is numbed. A needle is then inserted into the spinal canal and a sample of CSF is drawn for analysis.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD): a test that uses high-frequency sound waves to show the flow of blood through the blood vessels in the brain.
Ultrasound: a test that uses sound waves to form a picture of the brain.
Helping Your Child Prepare
Many hospitals have persons trained in helping children cope with their medical care or hospital experience. These persons are often called child life specialists. Check with your child's healthcare provider if child life programs or other similar services are available for your child. There are also things you can do to help your child prepare for a test or procedure. How best to do this depends on your child's needs. Start with the tips below:
Use brief and simple terms to describe the test to your child and why it's being done. Younger children tend to have a short attention span, so do this shortly before the test. Older children can be given more time to understand the test in advance.
Tell your child what to expect in the hospital during the test. For instance, you could mention who will be performing the test and what the hospital room will look like.
Make sure your child understands which body parts will be involved in the test.
As best you can, describe how the test will feel. For instance, an electrode may be placed on the skin. The electrode is round and may feel sticky.
Allow your child to ask questions and answer these questions truthfully. Your child may feel nervous or afraid. He or she may even cry. Let your child know that you'll be nearby during the test.
Use play when telling your child about the test, if appropriate. With younger children, this can involve role-playing with a child's favorite toy or object. With older children, it may help to read books or show pictures of what happens during the test.

on March 24, 2013 - 1:00 AM
The extensive media coverage of the new pope has included some discussion, largely perfunctory, of the Catholic Church in Latin America. Mentioned the most are the threat to the church from the growth of Evangelical/Pentecostal churches, and the growing spirit of consumerism and secularism in Latin American society. Most of the remarkable increase in Evangelical/Pentecostals took place in the 1980s and '90s. During the first decade of the 21st century, it has slowed noticeably; and currently Evangelical/Pentecostal denominations account for roughly 17 percent of the region's population. These dynamic Protestant churches have filled a deep religious need in the lives of many Latin Americans, and they have caused the Catholic Church to respond with vigor to retain and regain adherents.
Since Vatican Council II, the bishops of Latin America have been actively involved in creating new ways for the church in Central and South America. Every decade or so, they come together as the Latin American Bishops Conference (CELAM); and it has been said that at their first gathering in 1968 at Medellin, Colombia, they were naive enough to actually attempt to make Vatican II teachings a reality in the region. Since then the Latin American Church has evolved into a version of Catholic Christianity very different from that practiced by most Americans – a version that can be characterized by five interwoven and overlapping themes:
Enculturation: There is an appreciation for indigenous peoples and their worldview – religious, social and political. An emphasis on embracing indigenous populations led to recruiting, forming and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of lay catechists.
Solidarity and the preferential option for the poor: Long seen as allied with the highest levels in society, the church in Latin America has radically refocused its concern to highlighting injustices, and identifying with and working to meet the temporal as well as spiritual needs of millions of poor and marginalized people. Liberation theology inspired this orientation, especially from the 1960s to the 1980s. But even the most "conservative" clerics in Latin America have publicly and repeatedly voiced the concern for social justice.
Pope Francis, as archbishop of Buenos Aires, gave voice to this concern of the hierarchy at the 2007 CELAM conference in Aparecida, Brazil: "We live in the most unequal part of the world, which has grown the most, yet reduced misery the least. The unjust distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries out to heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our brothers."
Evangelization: In part a response to the growth of Evangelical/Pentecostal churches, the bishops have placed heavy emphasis on "re-evangelizing" Catholics, since it has been shown that those educated in their faith are unlikely to desert it. Evangelization programs aimed at the "integral" formation of lay Catholics can be found throughout Latin America.
Growth of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal: Running parallel to the rapid growth of the enthusiastic, mostly Pentecostal churches in Latin America, the charismatic movement has been attracting practicing as well as inactive Catholics. In Brazil, the country with the largest number of Catholics in the world, more than half of the faithful are identified with the movement. It emphasizes jubilant, ecstatic worship, small evangelizing groups and strong lay leadership. There is some concern about the movement becoming a "parallel church," but it has been repeatedly endorsed by the CELAM and the Vatican.
Lay involvement and empowerment: This is absolutely the most extensive and significant movement in the Latin American Church. The CELAM bishops endorsed Vatican II's emphasis on the renewed role of the laity, and created paths to what they called "pastoral conjunto" – shared pastoral responsibilities. As of 2007, there were an estimated 1.2 million lay catechetical leaders in Latin America, and another 2 million lay people taking on important roles in the church. Much of lay involvement takes place in small groups associated with the parish church, referred to as Small Christian Communities.
Typically, lay leaders are affirmed by their peers, approved by the clergy and enrolled in lengthy and rigorous training covering fundamental church teachings, group dynamics and the spiritual life. The laity see themselves not as a power group seeking to supplant the clergy and hierarchy, but rather as partners who are responsible for amplifying the work of the clergy. Women play a major role in this movement; and it has been my observation that more women than men are involved in leadership roles. There is evidence that lay participation and empowerment may be ameliorating the effects of the priest shortage in the region, first by fostering a noticeable increase in vocations in some places and, more impressively, by taking over many traditional clerical duties and responsibilities.
All over Latin America, lay men and women are running Small Christian Communities, presiding over worship, baptizing and teaching new members, ministering to the sick, leading community development projects, producing religious programming for the media, administering parishes, sitting on decision-making committees and the like.
This dynamic, spirit-filled, Latin American Church, with its deepening lay involvement and commitment to social justice, is the church Francis is familiar with, the church he has helped develop and lead. And it's likely to be the church whose template he will seek to adapt and apply to Catholicism around the globe.
Michael J. Gent, Ph.D., is professor of organization studies at Canisius College. For four years, he and colleagues have been researching religion in El Salvador and in Latin America as a whole.

Four months later, the script was flipped.
"The defense covered our butts today," quarterback Trevor Siemian said.
The NU defense succeeded in every facet en route to a comfortable 34-20 Gator Bowl victory against Mississippi State. The Cats forced Tyler Russell into four interceptions – a rare series of errors from the steady junior quarterback. Aside from some big gains on outside rushes, NU controlled the line of scrimmage throughout.
The defense faced a great deal of scrutiny early in the season, perhaps for good reason. After solid performances in the three weeks following the Syracuse meltdown, they regressed at Penn State. NU let Matt McGloin catch fire, and gave up 21 points in the decisive final quarter.
A final wakeup call came at Michigan, when a miracle pass from Devin Gardner to Roy Roundtree spurred the Wolverines to an improbable 38-31 overtime win. In the final three contests, NU held opponents to 18 points per game. The Cats may have saved their best performance for last.
"It was just a great way to finish the season," senior linebacker David Nwabuisi said. "… We knew we could come in here and play a great game and dominate the line of scrimmage. That's what we do. We make them go through the air."
The unit got off to a fast start when Quentin Williams returned an interception for a touchdown on the third play from scrimmage.
"I think we got in his head a little bit," Williams said.
"He started off the game very poorly," MSU coach Dan Mullen added. "I think he was shaken."
It sure seemed like it. Russell threw three interceptions in his first 11 passes, completing only four of those. While Mullen urged him to shake off the rough outing, NU continued to make plays.
The strong pass rush added another dimension. Williams added a sack, and honorable mention All-Big Ten selection Tyler Scott took down Russell on a pair of occasions. One of the most impressive players on the entire defense, Scott still has a year of eligibility remaining. Coach Pat Fitzgerald raved about his play.
"Tyler has just been a warrior," Fitzgerald said. "He's worked hard. He's gotten so much stronger and more explosive."
The NU offense also struggled. Siemian and Kain Colter combined to throw three interceptions. But when MSU attempted to rally, down just a touchdown with about 11 minutes remaining, Russell forced another throw and the defense converted yet again.
Nick VanHoose finished his excellent freshman season with a late interception. Shortly after, Venric Mark punched it in from three yards out, a crucial touchdown to give the Cats a 34-20 lead. Mullen said his players showed fight, but were crushed by the big play.
"They put themselves back into position and made a couple of critical mistakes at the very end," Mullen said.
The game bucked convention. Northwestern won its first bowl game in 64 years, and it was the once-criticized defense that saved the day.

They have two children, Greg, the Aiken Middle School band director, and Jayme Hightower, a staff accountant at Pegasus Steel in Goose Creek, SC. Jayme is married to Justin Hightower, with the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office.
"I love the Lowcountry and all of the great organizations I have been a part of and wonderful friends I have made while living here, so leaving here will be difficult but I am excited at the opportunity," Priest said.
Priest is a graduate of USC Aiken. She serves as vice-president of the Summerville Rotary Club, secretary of the Summerville Family YMCA, treasurer of the S.C. Press Association, Vice Chair of Communications and Marketing for the Greater Summerville Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce, and treasurer of the Mayor's Committee on the Employment of Persons with Disabilities. She also serves on the Community Advisory Boards for Alcoa and Summerville Medical Center.
She was Summerville Rotarian of the Year for 2011-2012 and was named Publisher of the Year for EPI in 2009.
Priest will assume her new position at the first of the year but will be working closely with current Aiken Publisher Scott Hunter over the next three months. Her successor has not yet been announced.

TORONTO – You must admit, after 14-plus seasons, it was a little odd seeing anyone but Lindy Ruff behind the Sabres' bench Thursday night. It was like coming home and seeing a stranger sitting in your father's recliner and wearing his slippers. It's going to take some time to make sense of it all.
The Sabres began a new era without the longest tenured and most successful head coach in franchise history with a 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Air Canada Centre. Buffalo scored first and played with a little more jump, which is to say it had a little jump, before giving up three unanswered goals in its first game under interim coach Ron Rolston.
Rolston comes off like a cerebral tactician, but that's not to suggest Ruff was not. Do we need to qualify every sentence now? At some point, Rolston will become familiar enough with the players to make his own assessments and stand alone. He has a quiet demeanor, which should allow him to become a calming influence over his players.
Can he coach?
We'll see. He didn't arrive with a sparkling resume. He had no NHL experience other than giving his brother, longtime NHL forward Brian Rolston, a few tips. He coached in college before getting into USA Hockey. He made a living in hockey. It's safe to assume he knows the game.
Anyway, he's not here to build his career. He was promoted from Rochester in a desperate attempt to turn around a miserable season. He has a tall order ahead. He began taking command over his troops during the morning practice. In his first meeting with the media, he talked about the Sabres' penchant for taking shortcuts.
Translation: lazy.
It sounds about right.
Buffalo still had many of the same problems Thursday that it has had all year. The Sabres nearly gave up a breakaway in the opening minute. Their defense was loose, and they spent much of the game chasing the puck. In one embarrassing sequence, James van Riemsdyk literally skated a circle around their entire defense.
Ryan Miller spared his teammates from further humiliation with several fantastic saves that kept the Sabres within one shot of tying the game until van Riemsdyk beat him after getting robbed of a goal moments earlier. The Sabres have won four times in their past 16 games.
Most would have predicted a better effort Thursday because it couldn't get much worse. Let's face it, if the Sabres couldn't get their fannies in gear a day after their longtime coach was fired, they might as well pack up their belongings and head home. It was marginally better than the listless performance Tuesday against Winnipeg but nowhere near enough.
Now, the Sabres would need a 19-7-4 record to finish with 55 points this season, or the number needed for eighth place in the conference. It tells you how much the standards have changed since Terry Pegula arrived, two years ago today actually, and started talking about Stanley Cups.
Pegula purchased the team with good intentions. He poured big money into the organization with the idea his players would play harder for him, but he showed how little he knew about professional sports. Give someone in the real world an inch, they'll take a mile. Make a team too comfortable, and it turns into a country club.
Their effort was better Thursday, but it wasn't as if it was dramatically improved in their first game under the new guy. The Leafs showed a greater sense of urgency, greater desperation. The Sabres looked like they were trying to survive. Maybe they didn't feel an overwhelming need to prove anything to an interim coach.
Or maybe they're just a bad team, much worse than many thought amid the happy talk and optimism going into the season.
I wondered if Ruff was watching from home, whether he was a frustrated fan screaming at the television rather than his players. Here's hoping he enjoyed a nice, quiet evening without worrying about the Sabres, for a change.
So far, Ruff has exercised his right to remain silent. He didn't return telephone calls seeking comment Wednesday or Thursday, which raised questions about whether he had a confidentiality agreement in his contract. Presumably, he returned to First Niagara Center at some point to clean out his office.
In the non-stop rumor mill known as the NHL, several theories circulated about his dismissal. One suggested that Pegula considered keeping Ruff and firing Darcy Regier before top aide Ken Sawyer interjected. Another suggested Regier had no plans to fire Ruff but buckled under orders from Sawyer and Ted Black. Yet another had Ruff refusing to resign, forcing Regier to fire him.
All seemed plausible.
None really mattered.
What does is that the Sabres' organization is fractured and doesn't appear to know where it's going or how to get there. There are conflicting opinions within the organization about Ruff and Regier. Based on what happened in the first 17 games, and the past few days, let's agree that it's a mess.
Rolston's job is making sense of it all.

Social Securitys 75th Anniversary
Social Security Closed on 12/24 and 12/25 But Open Online
If you have clients who need to conduct business with Social Security over the holiday season, be sure to let them know that our offices will be closed on December 24 and December 25. In addition, anyone calling or visiting a Social Security office between December 27 and New Year's Eve might experience longer waits than usual due to the holidays.
However, our online services are available even on holidays. Anyone can visit www.socialsecurity.gov to complete a number of transactions. For example, you can apply for retirement, disability, or spouse benefits, check the status of a pending application, get an instant, personalized estimate of future benefits with the Retirement Estimator, request a replacement Medicare card or apply for Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug plan costs.
You can find a list of online services and their hours of operation at www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices.
Theyll Get Their Pay on the Usual Day
We have an important announcement about a recent notice that went to beneficiaries about their payment amounts and dates. Some of the notices that were sent out contained an error in the payment date. The notices gave a January payment date one week earlier than usual. That is incorrect. Social Security has not made changes to the day of the month beneficiaries normally receive payments.
All other information on the notice is correct. Social Security apologizes for any inconvenience or confusion the error may have caused. Rest assured that payments will be made on their usual dates.
Its Easier Than Ever to Save on Your Prescription Costs
Some Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for Extra Help to pay for the costs — monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments — related to a Medicare prescription drug plan. The Extra Help is worth an average of $3,900 per year. To qualify, a person must be a Medicare beneficiary, have limited income and resources, and reside in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia.
Starting on January 1, 2010, changes in the law make it easier for some people to qualify for the Extra Help. Under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, Social Security:

Social Securitys 75th Anniversary
As we ring in 2010, we also will be ringing in the 75th anniversary of Social Security. On August 14, 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. Since then, for 75 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of our nation, touching the lives of almost every American at one time or another. We're hoping that Congress will help us celebrate our anniversary by enacting legislation we proposed to name the Operations Building at our headquarters complex after former Commissioner Robert Ball.
Social Security has a rich history. We encourage you to learn more about it. Take a look at our History Page at www.socialsecurity.gov/history/.

Can I just say that I love easy recipes!! Thanks
That looks incredibly tasty. I am going to make it. I hope you place all of these wonderful recipes in your recipe file. Please? I am desperate.
Perfect autumn treat!
Oh how I wish I could come over and help you get rid of that lovely pie. I'm all about easy too – this sounds perfect!
Pie? Did someone say pie?!? Just kidding. This looks so good. As soon as I saw the photo I wanted to grab it off the screen.
LOOK AT THAT TOP!!! Whoah delicious!
Apple pie topped with a stick of butter! It doesn't get any better.
this apple pie makes me drooling..
very nice..
I'm going to have to try this. This looks less messy than a typical dutch apple pie with the crumble topping and FAR easier than rolling out a top crust. Thanks for sharing!
I whipped this up this evening for my husbands 41st birthday…watching it bake in the oven know and it is a beautiful sight and my house smells wonderful. Used your wham bam pie crust and it was a snap to put together! I think my husband is about to fall in love with me all over again! Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!
Pie, yes please. The photo's made my mouth water. I will try this recipe.
I made this apple pie for a church singing event last night with your homeomade pie crust and to say the least it was a HIT!!! Thank you for posting great recipies! God Bless!
I am generally not a pie person, but anything with a crumb topping usually turns my head.
I had to try this recipe….OH MY GOODNESS…I made it on Saturday afternoon, and it was GONE by Sunday evening…and get this…it's the first real pie I've ever made! Thanks so much for your delicious, easy recipes!!!
Brandi, this pie caught my eye because it looks just like one of our treasured family recipes!! Nana's apple pie is a crumble topped pie like this one, and it taste incredible! There's something about apple pie that seems so wholesome and heartwarming to me! Beautiful pictures.
That looks amazing!
I've just been given a boxful of quince by my local apple grower. Have you ever baked with them? I think they are a fruit of the past and not many people bake with them anymore. I've heard of people making jelly and pies with quince and I'm wondering if they would work in this recipe. Any thoughts?
first timed i peeled an apple and first pie i ever baked and i think i nailed it! just came out of oven and smells amazing! i could only fit 4 and a 1/2 sliced apples in my store bought pie crust though, must have bought bigger apples than yours
It was also my first time making an apple pie and crust! It turned out perfect! I brought it to our work Thanksgiving and everyone loved it, even shared the recipe with a few co workers! Thanks so much Brandie!
I "pinned" this recipe as soon as I saw it and just now printed it to add to my Thanksgiving baking. It looks so yummy, can't wait for dessert on Thursday.Thanx for this and so many of your wonderful recipes!! Happy Thanksgiving !! !!
I made this for my Thanksgiving Dinner this year, my new go to easy apple pie recipe. Thanks, it was really easy to make and I love that I dont have to make 2 crusts, and DELICIOUS. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Luv this pie!
Your blog is just wonderful, thank you for sharing!!!
This looks awesome! Would a can of apple filling be good for this recipe?? I don't have any apples on hand. =/
If I make this pie with the Wham Bam Pie Crust, do I need to prebake the pie crust?
I am excited to try this pie out, but was wondering if anyone has had success with baking and then freezing for a later date?! Any suggestions on good ways to freeze for a couple of months and then thawing out/warming up for a delicious taste would be much appreciated! Thanks.
I have not had a problem making and freezing apple pies. I make the filling- put it in the pie crust ( this is all unbaked) , wrap it up really good with plastic wrap, then wrap it in foil and put it in a freezer bag. When you want to eat it – take it out of the freezer and put the crumble topping on then and bake. I don't thaw them out before baking- you will have to add a little more time and I usually bake mine at 350. I made 6 pies like this last summer and we just ate up the last one a couple of weeks ago
Mine didn't come out quite as pretty as yours – and I think maybe there was a little too much butter in the crust (it spread quite a bit) but Oh. My. Goodness. that was the best apple pie I've ever had in my LIFE! Thank you!!!
OMG my house smells AMAZING right now!!! This pie came out gorgeous!!! Easiest recipe too. Can't wait to serve it warm later w/vanilla ice cream 🙂 Thank you for posting the recipe, it's a definite keeper!!!!
This pie was a huge hit with the hubby & kids ( & myself)!! & ohh so easy! Hubby said it was better than Moms (shhh 🙂 Thanks for this keeper!! -Michelle
I made this today and it is delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
Loved this pie! Thanks!
This has been my "go to" apple pie recipe since I found it, it is AMAZING.
This is an AWESOME pie.
I made this yesterday for my boyfriend and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Brandie, I must tell you that this is the BEST apple pie I've ever made and in my 73 yrs I've made a few! I also tried the crumble part of the recipe on a peach and a cherry pie – yum! You are a winner in our family, my dear! Thank you for all the great recipes… : )
This is a great recipe! I made my filling a little different and added some brown sugar to the crumb topping and drizzled the top with glaze after baking….YUM! Thanks so much for the recipe:)
I am making this pie AGAIN
I love it so much and I have such great success every time.
Thank You so much for this recipe
It's a favorite
I want to make this and use your Wham Bam Crust recipe. Do I pre-bake the crust before adding the apple filling?
This looks delicious! Should I use unsalted butter for the topping?
I made this for Thanksgiving (2014) and it was a huge hit! It was easy to make and so delicious. 🙂 I used white wheat flour and a pat-in-the-pan pie crust. So good!
Oh my goodness is this an awesome recipe!!! Soooooo easy!!! Sooooo delicious!!! I don't bake, I cant bake, but I made this pie. I actually just finished baking my 4th pie! I cheated and bought my crust. I used a mix of apples the first time. Fuji, granny smith and honey crisp. This time, hubby picked out the apples and bought only honey crisp and Fuji. Pies are gorgeous! Thanks again for ANOTHER keeper!
Made this pie on Sunday. It is now Tuesday and making another pie tonight after work. What a delicious find. The crust is quick and mighty easy. The only hard part is peeling and snitzing the apples. To all non pie makers, you cannot fail with this receipe.
Excellent flavor. YUM YUM!
I love apple pie and crumble topping! Your pie looks amazing! Will try out soooon!!!!
My all time favorite. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I make this several times each fall! It's in the oven now and I can't wait to share it with my hubby! It's a hit. EVERY. TIME. Love the simplicity! 😉
That is so great to hear!
In my oven now… I love that is has just a few ingredients… I used all Honeycrisps because that's what I had on hand… Can't wait to eat it!

Robert Sutton/The Tuscaloosa News file photo
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
David Jones saw the best of Alabama�s community in the worst of times.
Jones, a Notre Dame cheerleader, was part of a group of two dozen Fighting Irish athletes that came to Tuscaloosa during fall break in 2011. They were there for a week of cleanup and hard work in a grieving town where more than 50 were left dead because of a tornado a few months earlier.
Now, a year and a half after that week of bonding and goodwill, Notre Dame and Alabama are getting ready to play each other for the BCS national championship.
�With the hospitality I had down in Alabama, it became one of my favorite schools,� Jones said. �There�s no hostility but more karma. You meet all these different faces of the Alabama community. You�re just amazed by them, and now you�re playing them.�
There were no football players during that weeklong service project dubbed �Fight for Tide�. They were preparing for the 2011 season, after all.
It wasn�t about football, anyway. Or basketball. Or softball.
The service project began with a call from Tim Cavanaugh, assistant director of Alabama�s ticket office, to Notre Dame program coordinator Sarah Smith seeking donations. The two interned together in South Bend.
That call resulted in clothes shipped to Tuscaloosa and ultimately the 675-mile bus ride and weeklong trip.
�It�s one of those things that when special things arise, we try to do something if we have the resources and the interest from the student-athletes,� said Smith, adding that a group had traveled to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.
�It all just kind of came together for the Alabama trip. A lot of kids were talking about it. We sent a bunch of clothes down there but then the conversation kind of snowballed to, �Why don�t we go down there?��
Tragedy trumps rivalry any day.
�I think it speaks volumes for the kind of character and leadership that those people have, from whatever schools they come from,� Tide football coach Nick Saban said.
�People came here from Auburn, which we appreciated. They came from Kent State. I think a willingness to serve other people who are in need at the time for whatever reasons, I think speaks volumes for what kind of person somebody really is. We certainly appreciate that and certainly appreciate anything the Notre Dame students did for our community.�
The Notre Dame group cleared out lots, hauled debris and dug a ditch. There also was lots of listening.
�Everyone had a story: Where they were, who in their family was affected,� Smith said. �I think it was kind of healing for them to tell their story to other people and that we were down there showing that we cared.
�It kind of created this bond between us and everyone we met, this kind of appreciation that we were there in solidarity. That was pretty cool to feel.�
Alabama athletic director Mal Moore, a former Notre Dame assistant football coach, asked to meet with the group from South Bend. He gathered them at midfield in Bryant-Denny Stadium during a stadium tour.
�I told them about my days at Notre Dame and how much I loved my time there ... and how much it meant to me personally that they chose to come here to support Tuscaloosa and the university community after the tragic tornado came through,� Moore said Friday.
�I thanked them for that, and we had a good visit, made a bunch of pictures and had a good time. It was very inspiring to me that they chose to come down and give several days of their time to the community here.�
Smith, meanwhile, said she was taken aback by the Southern hospitality. They got a few cultural lessons on things like the meaning of �Roll Tide� and the houndstooth gear popularized by iconic Tide coach Bear Bryant.
�It was just so cool to share some time together,� Smith said. �I definitely have a soft spot for Alabama. Any time humans are being kind and caring for one another and have that kind of spirit of hospitality, how can you not respect that?�

For the second time in one month, a Thunder fan has won $20,000 by sinking a shot from half-court.
The lucky winner, Justin Dougherty, said his trick was not over-practicing.
"We shot around for about two hours," said Dougherty. "Sometimes at the end of it we practiced half court shots but not really, because I played in high school and it was one of those things where it was like don't practice the shots you're not going to take in the game."
After the shot, Dougherty hugged his girlfriend, who had bought him tickets to the game. Then, Kevin Durant sprinted from the sideline and tackled Dougherty.
Dougherty is a TV sports reporter in Springfield.
