According to the New York Times, Falcon 1 Flight 3 failed to reach
orbit. Reports say that around two minutes into the flight the rocket was seen
to be oscillating before the live signal from an on-board camera went dead and
the rocket was lost.
Mission Manager Max Vozoff and launch commentator said, "We are hearing
from the launch control center that there has been an anomaly on that
vehicle." SpaceX's Elon Musk wrote in a blog post on Saturday at the
SpaceX website, "It was obviously a big disappointment not to reach orbit
on this flight [Falcon 1, Flight 3]. On the plus side, the flight of our
first stage, with the new Merlin 1C engine that will be used in Falcon 9, was
picture perfect. Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation,
causing the stages to be held together. This is under investigation and I
will send out a note as soon as we understand exactly what happened."
Musk continued writing, "The most important message I'd like to send
right now is that SpaceX will not skip a beat in execution going forward.
We have flight four of Falcon 1 almost ready for flight and flight five right
behind that. I have also given the go ahead to begin fabrication of
flight six. Falcon 9 development will also continue unabated, taking into
account the lessons learned with Falcon 1. We have made great progress
this past week with the successful nine engine firing."
Falcon 1 Flight 3 is not the first failure for SpaceX. DailyTech
reported in March 2006 that the first
Falcon 1 flight failed 20 seconds after liftoff. It was later determined
that the failure of the rocket was due to a fuel line leak. In March 2007, DailyTech
reported that the second
Falcon 1 flight had failed about five minutes into launch.
The payload on Falcon 1 Flight 3 was varied and included the Trailblazer
satellite developed for the Jumpstart Program from the Department of Defense's
Operationally Responsive Space ORS Office. Two small NASA satellites were also
onboard Falcon 1 Flight 3 including PRESat -- a micro laboratory for the Ames
Research Center -- and the NanoSail-D -- a test project to study propulsion for
space vehicles using an ultra-thin solar sail.
The New York Times reports that the rocket was also carrying
the ashes of 208 people who wished to be shot into space. Among the
cremated remains were those of astronaut Gordon Cooper and actor James Doohan
of Star Trek fame.
SpaceX's Falcon 1 launch facilities are on Omelek Island and part of the
Reagan Test Site (RTS) at the United States Army Kwajalein Atoll in the Central
Pacific. SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket was designed from the ground up in
Hawthorne, California and is a two-stage, liquid oxygen and rocket-grade
kerosene powered vehicle.
SpaceX says that the first stage of the Falcon 1 is powered by a single
SpaceX Merlin 1C Regenerative engine and the engine was flying for the first
time aboard Falcon 1 Flight 3. The second stage of Falcon 1 is powered by a
SpaceX Kestrel engine.
quote: Whoa, whoa...stop moving the bar. Your original claim was that there was no possibility for further innovation. Now you want a working mass market model immediately.
quote: Secondly, Falcon 9 is fueled with cheap kerosene, not the Proton's expensive and difficult to work with hydrazine variant.
quote: Thirdly, the Proton rocket had over two dozen failures when it was first being developed. It's safety record of *today* is excellent, but when first starting out, it bombed worse than the Falcon.
quote: Eh? Composite materials can be both lighter AND stronger than conventional construction. Also, weight savings can be had in many other areas, such as control electronics and wiring. This doesn't affect safety one bit...and it can mean payload increases of up to 100%. Furthermore, regardless of fuel isp, things such as nozzle design and total thrust can greatly affect total payload.
quote: Nuclear thermal rockets don't emit any radiation in operation.
quote: First is the increase in specific impulse possible from exotic fuels -- yes, they're too difficult to use with current technology...but technology improves.
quote: A weight savings of only 20% would roughly double that payload.
quote: It's like Horatio Nelson claiming his 28-gun wooden sailing ship is the pinnacle of naval technology.
quote: Stuff and nonsense. A nuclear thermal rocket separates its reaction mass from the nuclear fuel; there is no release of radiation except by catastrophic failure.
quote: NERVA rockets would still emit punitive amounts of radiation via neutron absorption and breeding of tritium.
quote: SpaceX's Falcon 9 lifts 9.9 tons with a mass of 325 tons.
quote: It is. Hydrogen consists to 0.015% of deuterium. And that will readily transmutate into tritium via neutron capture. And yes, tritium is a severe issue for any LWR, and more so for CANDU reactors. Under normal operation those plants will emit 50-50 tritium via the water markup system, and radioactive noble gases. You can AFAIK look up the relevant numbers on NRC.gov . These are not small amounts.Any maintenance on primary loop systems in LWRs can only be done after purging the relevant system with inert gas. And even after that, one would sustain the yearly allowable radiation dose within 5min while wearing an air tight "space suit".Hydrogen is evil. Pure evil at 1400K. It will react with anything at those temperatures. NERVA rockets were designed with the hope that the core would not severely degrade within the short time span that they would operate in.Do you want to know what really killed NERVA?The test stands. Building a close loop, leak tight exhaust coolant loop, with sufficient radioactive shielding and then scrubbing that stuff clean would have already cost in the 50s billions of dollars. Please, do not underestimate the dangers of radioactivity.
quote: there's the simple expedient of making a launch simpler and cheaper. With less than 5% of a launch being fuel costs, there's no reason a launch couldn't be far cheaper than it is today, even assuming the same payload and engine performance.
quote: But no one is "starting from scratch". Even for a company like Space, nearly all their design is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. In 20 years or so, private launch vehicles will have evolved quite a ways from their public counterparts, but for now, those designs are very similar.

80 white cards, each measuring 5"x6 1/2" with 80 matching white envelopes.Item #: 4001266
Response from Sara:
Hi Suzanne, I saw your comment about the 80 White Cards and Envelopes, and how the stamping ink showed through. Im sorry this happened! What kind of ink did you use? Ive done a lot of stamping and embossing directly on these cards (with Versafine, Staz-On or Distress inks) and not had a problem. Im wondering if you used a brand-new (and juicy) inkpad or a pigment ink, or if you were doing any direct-to-paper inking. Please feel free to email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com and I can help you.
Thanks and hope you have a good day!

MARTINSVILLE RECORD: Will be making her debut.
LOOKING AHEAD: Patrick said she is "actually really excited about Martinsville," the smallest and slowest track on the Sprint Cup Series. "I like the little short tracks," adds Patrick. "They're fun. We went testing out at Little Rock (Rockingham, NC) and got a feel for a track like Martinsville. I thought we actually make some really big gains that day. I had no idea that a woman had not competed at Martinsville (in Cup)."
LOOKING BACK: It was another long afternoon for Patrick as she finished 26th at Auto Club Speedway.
ETC.: On Monday, Patrick participated in the 135th White House Easter Egg Roll and read Dr. Seuss' "Go Dog Go" to a few young children. "It was an amazing experience," said Patrick. "It's such an honor to get to go to The White House and I really enjoyed it. I love kids and they're so much fun to be around, and it's pretty flattering when they tell you that you're their role model or hero. It's really humbling."

In a few minutes it will be Gray's birthday. He is the child you make a big deal about when it comes to birthdays. We'll celebrate for days but it probably won't be enough.
(It's not like we are trying or anything- no way, quite the contrary. I think I was just looking to the stick to figure out why my clothes fit the way they fit and why I feel the way I feel.) Like skin, and age, and time it had lines
but no real answers.
Our yard. Is happening. Abandoned bikes and overturned skateboards litter the driveway. The kids stand around, "I wanna be Fergie and you are Beyonce, he's Justin." I sit on the front stoop, hidden behind a massive dogwood. "Did you hear about Michelle Obama? She went shopping at a store." Fifth graders talk about Michelle Obama.
I catch Noah's sideways glance. Is it okay that I'm out here? Does he want me to go in? I just don't want to leave Ivy in the front yard unattended. Does he like that I'm near? I don't know. Later he says he's glad everyone wants to come to our yard. And he kissed my shoulder good night.
Ivy blows dandelion puffs and makes a wish, then whispers it in my ear. I wish for a teddy bear whiiisshhh. She has a crush on a sixth grader. Another whisper, mom I touched his arm.
I find Gray in the back with the girl who put stars in his eyes and I see for the first time the sparkle when she looks at him. He shows off his DS skills. She is impressed.

Jerry Dunn laughed at the memory. The Nittany Lions were flying into New Orleans for the 2001 NCAA Tournament when the pilot came on and announced, according to Dunn, "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is we're only about 25 miles outside the airport. The bad news is I don't know if we have enough fuel to get there."
Dunn was convinced the pilot was serious.
"When we landed, I went to the cockpit and told him never to do that again," he said Tuesday. "Even if it was true, I didn't want to know about it ... I don't know how many of our guys prayed much before that, but they were sure praying on that flight."
The Lions, at least on the inside, weren't fazed.
Once they got on the ground, as a No. 7 seed, they took out Providence and, two days later, decked No. 2 seeded North Carolina with a berth to the Sweet Sixteen on the line.
It's the last time Penn State made the Big Dance, and Dunn, now living in Charlotte, N.C., can still taste those sweet victories.
"It was a really, really special time in my life," he said. "I lived in State College longer than I lived any place [20 years]. I had some great memories and friends still there that I stay in touch with."
The Lions went 117-121 in Dunn's eight seasons, including two trips to the NCAAs (1996 and 2001) and two trips to the NIT Final Four. He reached 50 and 100 career victories faster than any coach in PSU history.
His tenure didn't end well, and the Lions went in a different direction in 2003, turning to Ed DeChellis. But Dunn isn't bitter.
In fact, the first thing he said when reached Tuesday was, "I'd like to congratulate the university, the administration, the athletic administration, the coaching staff and the players for being selected. I have a great deal of excitement for them."
Dunn spent the last seven years as an assistant under John Beilein, four at West Virginia and three at Michigan, before taking this season off.
He took over at PSU in September of 1995 for Bruce Parkhill, and the Lions burst to a 9-0 start. They finished second in the Big Ten and were essentially in the NCAA field all season. They were seeded fifth in the East, but drew defending national champion Arkansas, which slipped in as a No. 12 seed, and handled the Lions.
"We may have been a little too tight to make sure we were prepared," Dunn said.
In 2001, he benefited from the experience, saying, "I felt pretty confident because we had been through it before. Providence was huge and very athletic, but we felt like we had beaten some pretty good people during the course of the year. Beating Kentucky on the road had really built up our confidence."
Fueled by Joe Crispin, Gyasi Cline-Heard and Titus Ivory (Dunn's future son-in-law), the Lions upset North Carolina - which had Brendan Haywood, a longtime NBA center, and Julius Peppers, a longtime NFL standout - for the greatest win in PSU hoops history.
"Living in Charlotte now, I can't tell you how many people stop me and say they remember that game," Dunn said, adding with a laugh. "Mostly N.C. State and Wake [Forest] fans."
Dunn, 57, spent some time working and "hanging around" with the Charlotte Bobcats earlier this season when Larry Brown coached the team.
"We got to know each other when I was at Penn State and they [Brown's former team, the Philadelphia 76ers] had their preseason," Dunn said. "He's a great guy and a great teacher, and he's been good to me."
He hopes to return to coaching at some point in the future.
In the meantime, he admires the Lions - saying Talor Battle "is a prolific scorer and has a giant heart" - and believes they can beat Temple, their opening-round opponent.
"I saw Temple play once, and I think it's going to be a good game," he said. "It's certainly a winnable game."
There's some irony in that Temple is the No. 7 seed and San Diego State, if the Lions beat Temple, is the No. 2 seed.
Can they get it Dunn, er, done, again?

I was thinking that we could do with some vet presence on the blue line and a player i feel who would fit in great is Tallinder at Buffalo. Now im sure he is a fa at the end of the season the same as our Quincey. This deal straight up i dont think Buffalo would do but maybe a combination that may be classed as a blockbuster could swing it.
To Buffalo: Howard , Quincey, Kindl and Tootoo
To Detroit: Miller, Tallinder and McCormick.
By all accounts Miller is done in Buffalo and i would say welcome a move to his home town team. Also he is a fa at the end of 13-14 and i would
say we could re-sign him for less than we payed Howard who i feel is overpaid. We get the extra vet on D that we need and we sweeten the deal by throwing Kindl in as more depth for the Sabres that they need. Tootoo and McCormick is more or less a like for like, or we could see what other player they would take if not Tootoo.
Yeah i knowvits Sabres!!

KENILWORTH, Ill. (AP) - The house has the features you'd want in a North Shore residence - paneled library, lots of windows and French doors opening onto a courtyard with a fountain, an up-to-the minute kitchen. And who could ever leave that master suite?
But these are the "after" pictures.
When Judy and Joe Konen found the Kenilworth house, the dead mice in the bedraggled indoor swimming pool were just the beginning. The lovely red brick had been painted white, and two bizarre 20-foot-tall structures that might be called domes perched on the roof.
Article Photos
AP photo
From left, Linda and Joe Konen, of Kenilworth, Ill., pose in the family room of their home with Orren Pickell of Orren Pickell Designers & Builders. The couple transformed the ugly ducking of a house into a suburban Chicago showpiece.
Perhaps worst of all, the house was dark. Orren Pickell Designers & Builders added and enlarged windows and French doors, and now there are gracious hallways and a coveted view of Lake Michigan.
The Konens wanted to move back to the Kenilworth area after living in the city a decade. They had purchased a Pickell-remodeled home in 2000, and after interviewing other builders decided to hire his firm again.
Judy found the house by entering in an online search the features for the couples' perfect home - five bedrooms for visiting children and grandchildren, swimming pool, first-floor master or an elevator, half an acre of land and close to Sheridan Road. But she didn't put in a price range, and this home that had been vacant for two years was listed below the amount they had been considering.
They drove by the house now and then, and it took her a couple of months to talk Joe into looking inside the house, and on that fateful day their real estate agent decided to stay outside.
"The stench was horrible," said Judy. "It had been vacant a couple of years and the previous owners had exotic birds that they let fly around."
They bought the house at the end of 2009 because they liked the location.
And there was more.
"Judy saw the flow," said her husband. "The original house flowed well. The addition with the swimming pool was a different story. But I noticed the basement was dry as a bone, and everything looked solid. People we had look at it said it had good bones."
Joe Konen, who is retired as president of Ameritrade Holding Corp., a brokerage, admits the fixing up cost more than the purchase price, and he does not want to reveal the totals.
But the couple discusses some of their internal financial negotiations.
Judy really wanted the living room fireplace to be rebuilt so it could be a see-through to the dining room and have a third opening in the sitting room of the second-floor master suite. Tearing it down from the roof to the basement and rebuilding cost about $30,000.
Joe, on the other hand, teases that not even his wife knows how much he spent on the home's audiovisual features.
Pickell's marketing calls the home an ugly duckling transformed into a swan, and he insists the home's appearance made it infamous along the North Shore.
One thing that saved the house from being torn down is that municipal rules mean a remodeled house could be 900 square feet larger than a new one. However, the couple did bid against a builder who wanted to tear it down, said Joe.
Pickell says a good floor plan has a "formal, clean, quiet side," and you can draw a line between it and the "dirty, noisy, casual" part.
While some rooms can cross over, the garage, mud room and kitchen are definitely casual, said Pickell.
"This side couldn't lay out any more perfectly if you built a house from scratch," he said of the formal front of the house. But the rear swimming pool room and family room, which were added only a few years after the original house was built in 1953, were all but demolished by the Pickell team.
The rooms in the original or formal part of the house are pretty much the sizes they were, but the uses have changed. For example, the library paneled in knotty alder and reached through French doors had been the dining room.
With the help of Thomas Sarti Girot Interiors of Park Ridge, the Konens figured out from the new floor plans where each painting in their extensive art collection would hang. That means it was easy during construction to install electrical outlets for lighting the pictures, and niches were built specifically for large urns.
They also reused most of the furniture from their previous Kenilworth home with only a bit of reupholstering. The home's paint palette features yellow with a touch of green.
The wall of windows and glass doors opening to the courtyard make the living room stunning. The house also enjoys a backyard overlooking a park designed by Jens Jensen. These landscape features add considerably to Judy's enjoyment of the house.
Another highlight is the kitchen, which replaced what Pickell called a lanai or lean-to that was the family room and connection to the pool room. Its features include granite countertops, glazed wall cabinets and knotty oak ones with a driftwood finish for the island.
"It's my dream kitchen," said Judy "with two ovens, microwaves and warming drawers. It parties well."
On the second floor the master bedroom had been one long room, but neither Pickell or the Konens can figure out how it worked. Now the bedroom shares that space with the limestone and marble bathroom and its huge shower.
What was previously the master bath is a sitting room with Judy's fireplace.
Judy is especially pleased with the way the hallways were reconfigured, including a laundry area that can be hidden behind doors. Her sewing area features a view of the lake and built-in cabinets designed to her specifications. This can be shut off from the two rear bedrooms that grandchildren can reach from the second staircase.
The elevator shaft was one of the few floor plan elements that could not be changed, said Pickell, although the elevator itself is new.
On the exterior of the house, the paint was removed with a new chemical peel process that included laying large pads on the house for 24 hours. All the brick that was removed was saved for repairs, and new brick that closely matched was found for the rear of the house.
Joe Konen was pleased the project came in under budget and before the scheduled deadline.
His wife is happy, too.
"The transformation is amazing," said Judy Konen. "We knew the house had potential, but this has far exceeded our wildest dreams. We had fun, too, We just loved the team and miss them."

Missouri State Fair Provides Backdrop for Dairy Farmer Outreach
Missouri State Fair Provides Backdrop for Dairy Farmer Outreach
Missouri dairy farmers would like nothing better than knowing their consumers understand what it means to be a a caretaker of cows and farms, and that those same people enjoy dairy products daily. That's why they're heavily involved with the Missouri State Fair August 9-19 in Sedalia, Mo., through Midwest Dairy Association, which manages those efforts on their behalf.
Among the attractions that help put them front and center are the butter cow sculpture in the Gerken Dairy Center, which this year will be named "Moooo-na Lisa" and use more than 700 pounds of butter.
The Dairy Center also is home to the dairy farmers' concession, which serves 11 flavors of ice cream in soft-serve form and 15 flavors of hand-dipped offerings. Shakes, cheese sticks, milk, grilled cheese sandwiches, and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches also grace the menu. Free recipes, dairy facts and promotional materials are available at the Center.
Visitors can view milking demonstrations there twice daily at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. with real cows, but fair-goers can also try their hand milking a mock cow named "Sophia" in the cattle barn, emulating the hand-milking experience. A dairy exhibit herd is on hand in the barn throughout the fair's 11-day run, where farm family members make themselves available to answer questions about the various dairy cow breeds in the herd.
Midwest Dairy Association is also playing a role in a display at the Missouri Farmers Care booth in the Agriculture Building, which will feature a Canstruction® exhibit of a full-size Ford Super Duty F-250 pickup, created with nearly 7,500 cans of food weighing 2.5 tons. The display is part of the group's second annual food drive to help alleviate hunger in Missouri. Missouri Farmers Care has been working with Ford dealers in a food collection drive throughout the summer. It culminates at the State Fair as canned food is accepted from fair-goers in exchange for a discount on gate admission Tuesday, August 14, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Centennial Gate. Dairy farmers will join other members of the group at the gates that day.

Let 'er rip Anti Dusty Fans!
Let 'er rip Anti Dusty Fans! No Macias. A rookie at short over a 'proven veteran' and Michael Barrett batting 5th.
I mean 4th!
I mean 4th!
Barrett is batting cleanup
Barrett is batting cleanup (for only the second time this year). This is a goofy lineup, but I appreciate the out-of-the-box thinking that gets Nomar's bat, Neifi's glove, *and* Ronny Cedeno all in the lineup.
Also, Rob G. I was reading
Also, Rob G. I was reading you blurb about Nomar and his move to third. You go on to talk about how nice of a fit it is. The whole time, I'm thinking "wait for it....wait for it..." then BAM! you come through with, "Of course he has absolutely no use there as a Cub in the foreseeable future." I was literally LOL. HOWEVER! he could be a great back up third baseman for IF Aram gets hurt. I think his will give Dusty a ton of flexibility in the infield and could let us run Macias (who has had a nice year) who would be expendable.
I know a lot of people are
I know a lot of people are ready to give up on Nomar, but I still love the way the guy plays. I am probably one of the few who think we should resign him in the offseason (to a incentive laden deal.)
Plus I don't want Cedeno to be my everyday SS in MVP baseball 2006 (playstaion). Nomar is carrying my team.
If he'll take an
If he'll take an incentive-laden deal with a *really* low base (like $2M or so), then sure. Above that, I don't think it's a good risk.
I'm with you Travis. I
I'm with you Travis. I think there is still a lot of tread left on those tires.
Nomar will not have nothing
Nomar will not have nothing to do with keeping Macias. Macias is a switch-hitter who can supposedly fill in at any of the eight positions on the field and is currently Dusty's #1 pinch-hitter. Having Nomar play third in case of a Ramirez injury would be great, but it would affect resigning Neifi or Hairston more than Macias.
Nomar supposedly volunteered for it, I'm thinking he did it to boost his FA value.
The Marlins have scored
The Marlins have scored FIRST in 30 of their last 37 ball games...that's one reason why they are a top contender for the Wild Card spot and the Cubs are not.
Let Nomar go and get someone
Let Nomar go and get someone who can play... especially someone who can play real defense. People will be saying the same crap next year when he's injured. I think Nomar's got a few good years left...
I am probably skewed in my
I am probably skewed in my views of Nomar. I think something should be said for the way he plays the game. It seems like MLB, and the cubs in particular have lost that. Even though his hustle and dedication have brought on injury's.
I just fear if we let him go via free agency that he will turn into the Nomar circa 2000.
As you can see my "Man Crush" runs deep with him!
Rob, having neifi as a
Rob, having neifi as a switch hitter and hairston who can play 2b and all the outfield positions really makes Macias redundant.
Count me in as a Nomar
Count me in as a Nomar man-crush guy as well...just something about how he plays/hits when healthy. Obviously, the "when" has been replaced by "if," but I'd love to see him come back. You keep Cedeno on the roster, and if something happens to Nomar (and his low, incentive-laden contract), you've got your "SS of the future" ready to go.
I like Nomar (when he's
I like Nomar (when he's healthy) BUT he just made a big mistake that allowed a runner to advance.
nomar + throwing ball
nomar + throwing ball sidearm = get ready for errors
no one in boston made him quit that crap and he probally wont at this point in his career.
The Cubs are doing a good
The Cubs are doing a good job of digging themselves into a hole early on in a game...Of course with Rusch as a starting pitcher that makes this even more likely.
Am I a bad fan if I close
Am I a bad fan if I close the Game Day window and ignore the Cubs for the rest of the day?
he just made a big mistake
he just made a big mistake that allowed a runner to advance.
What do you expect. he is playing a position that he is not used to. He has never played 3b in the major leagues. An error or two would be relatively expected.
I still like the experiment with him there, though it as someone (Rob? Christian?) pointed out, Nomar is worthless to the Cubs as a 3B.
Rusch has NOT won a game as
Rusch has NOT won a game as a starter since June 2nd...Ron Santo says he's not hitting the target zone often enough...I heard that good old Dusty has Wellemeyer warming up in the Bullpen -- we all know he may be our worst relief pitcher (I'm not even sure why he's not down in Iowa right now).
honestly, i'd expect him not
honestly, i'd expect him not to sidearm every throw he makes since he makes most of his errors on that kinda throw.
nomar rushes his arm so much and does too many unneccessary things with it.
boston let him get away with it for a decade, though...and he got paid big bucks with that already as an issue...
comes with the package...
aram's D was tweaked by this club...he had a similar sidearm passion along with the annoying habbit of not getting in front of the ball on stuff hit to him...he was fond of taking stuff off the hip. luckily, he was receptive to coaching.
"Am I a bad fan if I close
"Am I a bad fan if I close the Game Day window and ignore the Cubs for the rest of the day?"
Rest of the day?...many have already closed it out for the rest of the year.
Honestly, I find it nice to just have it in the background and not worry about every single pitch in every single game as I have for the last 2.8 seasons.
I'm not gonna watch down
I'm not gonna watch down 4-0...hopefully that will trigger a 5 or more run rally.
Anyone for strat-o-matic?
maybe the Cubs can pull one out with dice and spinners.
"Jerry HairstonJr. out on

Isn't it sickening that teams walk the Cubs so they can load the bases? Scouting is getting around the league that the Cubs can't score with men on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

With a man on 2nd, it just seems a little silly to be bunting, even for a hit...but I guess it's good practice if nothing else...and certainly better than a sec bunt down 4 runs.
wow...we find every we can not to score runs don't we.
btw...walking the bases

Off-season will be
Off-season will be interesting one for Cubs
By Bruce Miles

Posted Friday, August 26, 2005
{... Three.
Count íem.
Thatís how many starting position players are sure bets to be back with the Cubs in 2006.
Catcher Michael Barrett, first baseman Derrek Lee and third baseman Aramis Ramirez are signed to long-term deals, and the Cubs are happy with all three.
The rest of the roster is up in the air. Part of the reason is that contracts will expire. And part is because of the terrible disappointment this season has been for the Cubs.
General manager Jim Hendry refused to give up on winning the wild card. But sitting in his office earlier this week, Hendry echoed the sentiments of team president Andy MacPhail in voicing his disappointment with the Cubsí record (61-66).
ìObviously, when things donít go well or donít go as planned, you have to take a good look at the whole picture of why they didnít,î Hendry said. ìWe havenít played consistently. Weíve shown spurts of being very good. Weíve shown spurts of being very bad.
ìFor whatever reason, it just hasnít worked. A lot of things went wrong. Sure, we had some injuries, but a lot of clubs that are still in it had injuries, too. When things donít go well, itís a collective effort just like when things do. Weíre going to keep trying...}

Jack Brickhouse was known for his signature "Hey! Hey!"
Harry Caray was known for his signature "Holy Cow!"
Skip Caray was known for his signature "There's a drive, belted!"
Len Kasper will be known for his signature "...has popped out to second."
hahahahah stan
hahahahah stan
If Rusch is going to give up
If Rusch is going to give up so many walks and hits then I would rather give Rich Hill some more time as a starter...Actually Rusch and Hill would probably be better Bullpen pitchers for the Cubs...Hendry clearly needs to go out and acquire at least one more reliable starting pitcher in the off-season...Our Bullpen ALWAYS is in need of an upgrade...this last part of the season may make that very clear.
How many times on this site
How many times on this site have we discussed a player that's come in that has supposedly made Macias redundant? Hairston in and of himself should make Macias redundant as there's no reason he couldn't play third or SS in an emergency. No matter who's brought in, until Macias is cut, he'll find a way on the team, whether that's up to Hendry or Baker I'm not arguing.
Man do the Cubs SUCK
Man do the Cubs SUCK
It's clear the Cubs are out
It's clear the Cubs are out of the Wild Card Race...It would be nice IF we could see more of their Rookies come up and start for the final few weeks of the year...Why not test drive the talent in the farm team system...? What do the Cubs have to lose -- besides a few more games...;-)
Did I read CBS Sportsline
Did I read CBS Sportsline right? Vargas grounded out to center?
Please explain.
Dusty uses Holli -- and of
Dusty uses Holli -- and of course he strikes out...Where is Murton when we really need him...? Dusty STOP USING TIRED OLD PLAYERS WHEN WE KNOW THEY CAN'T HIT WHEN WE NEED THEM TOO. Hendry should have put Hollandsworth out to pasture long ago...Way to go Hairston -- a 3 run double...the younger players are coming on strong now...Wake Up Dusty.
That's Hollandsworth's
That's Hollandsworth's eighth PA in a little under three weeks. Good to see the roster's being used well.
Would Dusty ever go with
Would Dusty ever go with Novoa, Wood and Dempster now that we are back in this game...? We can't afford to give up more runs but it seems like offense has really started to wake up...Whey not go with the best that we have in our Bullpen...;-)
I was going to complain
I was going to complain about using Holly there against a lefty, since Dusty tends to look at the left-vs.-right matchup before any other factor, but then I realized, who else is on the bench? Macias, Blanco, Walker, and Patterson. Woof.
Walker actually does fine against lefties (.392 OBP this year) but as Ron said, Holly hasn't gotten off the bench much lately.
I just want to go on record
I just want to go on record concerning Perez. He is an excellent utility infielder. He should not be playing every day. That being said, I would accept him as our everyday SS next year if we substanially upgrade the outfied with the likes of Giles, Damon, Dunn, etc. Two of them, not just one. Money has to be wisely allocated. THIS IS FOR DUSTY - IF PEREZ IS THE EVERYDAY SS NEXT YEAR (HOPFULLY DUSTY WON'T BE HERE) HE SHOULD BAT 8TH.
Williamson actually pitched
Williamson actually pitched well in that last inning...lets see IF our offense can build on the momentum they have.
I agree completely Tom, with
I agree completely Tom, with possibly Burnitz filling the third slot. If Burnitz goes down hill big time, look to trade or play Murton/Pie.
...hopefully that will
...hopefully that will trigger a 5 or more run rally.
Typical of this season. I ask for a 5 spot and get it but the friggin team bullpen sucked as much as the starter and we needed a 7 spot.
It's my fault. Sorry folks. Don't blame Dusty, Holly, Wuertz or Hendry.
Blame me. I must be doing something wrong.
Hairston is having a great
Hairston is having a great day...Lets see if Lawton can come up with a big hit right behind him...;-)
Interesting time to use
Interesting time to use Novoa -- but I did want to see him and he pitched well for the Cubs...Now we'll see IF our team really wants to come back and score some runs against one of the best closers out there...;-)
I hate this team
I hate this team
Todd Jones. The fish are his
Todd Jones. The fish are his 7th team since 2001.
Why don't we get lucky when we get guys like this...well maybe we did, dare I say it, Kyle Farnsworth also come to mind. Sometimes guys "get it" later in their careers. It's tough to have patience with these players when their in the inconsistent stage.
What happened to this guy that wasn't going on before? I remember him in Detroit. He would throw 100mph but sucked for them when I saw the Cubs playing in Comerica a few years back.
"Friday Fish Fry", you can
"Friday Fish Fry", you can tell you lived in Wisconsin for a bit of time.
Closer Todd Jones has
Closer Todd Jones has consistently recorded saves all year. The Marlins veteran right-hander has 29 on the season.
Oh, now we're complaining
Oh, now we're complaining that Holly isn't getting enough ABs? Wow...
Ah, Friday Fish Fry. Our
Ah, Friday Fish Fry. Our family used to go up to Burlington, WI (a few miles from Lake Geneva)a few weeks each year. There was no choice but to have fish on Friday. Those were the days....
What a coincidence that the Cubs are playing like they did back then...
I'm trying to figure this
I'm trying to figure this out as I didn't witness much of the eight or ninth innings.
In the bottom of the 7th, Nomar made the second out of the inning, Neifi the third.
In the top of the 8th, they double-switched with one out and instead of taking the last guy out, they took out Nomar. Walker came in to play second, Neifi shifted to third. So that shoud mean Ohman was batting 5th, Walker 9th. (Which was the case because Walker batted the next inning)
In the top of the 9th, another double switch involving Jose Macias and Roberto Novoa, which replaced Lawton. So now, Macias is batting 5th, Novoa 2nd with the 4,5,6 hitters due up in the 9th.
Barrett singles and representing the tying run....JOSE MACIAS!!!
So I ask, why in the first double switch did Dusty choose Nomar instead of Neifi???? I'm hoping Nomar hurt himself again, otherwise more double-switching buffonry by our fair manager.
I know Neifi was 3 for 4 up to that point, but all the hits came from the right side.
vs lefties: .301/.327/.534
vs. righties: .264/.288/.348
You know Todd Jones is coming in late in the game. Someone give me a good explanation for this? To that fact, why didn't Tood Walker pinch-hit for Neifi in the bottom of the 7th when he was representing the tying run? Even if McKeon goes to a lefty in the pen, Walker is no slouch versus the lefties:
vs. lefties: .357/.392/.629 (70 AB's)
vs. righties .287/.341/.422 (237 AB's)
And don't pull the defense card, we're down 2 runs, we needed the offense?
So there you go, tell me how either one was a good idea?
"Friday Fish Fry", you can
"Friday Fish Fry", you can tell you lived in Wisconsin for a bit of time.
Busted.... I can't remember the names of any of the good haunts that I frequented though. Good times.
You know Todd Jones is
You know Todd Jones is coming in late in the game. Someone give me a good explanation for this?
From a manager's perspective, all this double switching serves a purpose. And this is it:
It's like a poodle peeing on every fire hydrant, without anything in the bladder. Just putting his gentle touch on the game.
Busty Faker...a players manager. Every player removed from the game makes the guy replacing him "his kind of manager"
Rob G i was at the game
Rob G
i was at the game (thanks bleeding blue, who i met at mcd's before the game), and as you know, it's always a little hard to keep track of double switches if you're not keeping score (which usually i do, but i'm done with this team so i didn't).
i could sense that there was ridiculousness and that neifi should have been pulled instead of nomar. obviously became a big issue in the 9th. macias....yeah.
also, when holly batted with the bases loaded, that was a clear walker PHing spot to me. duh. put your guy who a)sucks and is b) rusty in there with the bases loaded and one out....smart
it's funny, dusty says they're in it. i wonder if he believes it. if he does, this makes his managing even worse than it already is.
fire. his. ass.
(i'm resigned to the fact that it won't happen, but we can all dream)
Rob...your lefty/righty
Rob...your lefty/righty stats are great. Too bad the entire cub organization think stats are worthless and it "baseball instincts" that are the sole worthwhile source of decisions.
VORP, OBP, Pitches per at bat...all numerical info is crap. Unless Maciass hits the heck out of a pitcher (of course the sample size might only be 3 AB's)
Baseball instincts I tell ya.
Hank Aaron did it this way so it must be good. Dustbuster woulda double switched with uncle Hank too.
In the last hour on WSCR
In the last hour on WSCR analyst Steve Stone claims he had a long talk with Dusty today...and Dusty says he wants to stay BEYOND the end of his contract since "he has a lot of unfinished business he wants to take care of."...Stone thinks Dusty will be around for a while as Hendry still believes in him. Andy McPhail (the Cubs President) seems to want to "stay the course" with the current management team. The Cubs will have to rebuild again after this season...it will be interesting to see how things play out.
What the hell is the matter
What the hell is the matter with this team? A majority of them make MILLIONS of dollars a year and yet work like it's just another day on the beach, phoning it in.
Meanwhile, there are people everywhere in the world who work their asses off at minimum wage or worse.
This is the saddest group of Cubs I've seen in a long time.
More proof that Dusty's
More proof that Dusty's managerial philosophy is quite insane. A nice read put out my our own Ryne Sandberg:
Ryno himself was only 23 in 1984 when he lead the Cubs to the NL East title. You have to let the youngsters play to see what they can actually do. Leave the vets who have proven themselves mediocre to bad for somebody else.
boy the way these writers
boy the way these writers are spinning the 2005 Cubs, its looking more like hendry's fault. sammy's contract, nomar, wood and cpat are the reasons we've failed. looking more and more like a dusty baker return. do you really think the free agents want to play in chicago now? i just listened to the reds vs. pirates game on the radio. brenaman was talking about how the reds are close to catching the cubs and his partner said "they lost again today and look to lose alot more". brenaman said: "it couldn't happen to a nicer club"...yes guys, we're the laughing stock again.
Like I said yesterday..."The
Like I said yesterday..."The Cubs are starting to resemble TBay and KC"....
Oh but they look worse because they are actually blowing a huge amount of payroll on both team and manager to finally "catch" the Cincinatti Reds...but do they have a late season drive that will see them overtake the Pirates??
Zambrano has a higher OPS
Zambrano has a higher OPS this season than any of our starting OF's (Lawton, Patterson, Burnitz) have this august.
"I like the way Nomar plays
"I like the way Nomar plays the game."
Don't you have to actually play to "play the game"?
If the Cubs re-sign Nomar
If the Cubs re-sign Nomar they deserve to lose next season.
If they sign any free agent SS, they need to sign Furcal. He actually fills a hole whereas Nomar seemingly creates one.
I thinks we bring bring back
I thinks we bring bring back Nomar(with Cedeno as back-up), then we have Lee, Walker(probably), Nomar and Ramires as infield. Bring in Wagner and Millwood with Murton, Pie and Burnitz(Patterson back-up). And then Add in Angel Guzman(yes a pipe dream but he is throwing 96 MPH again) in the rotation and the Cubs can contend. JMHO
Just got back from the game
Just got back from the game myself - glad you enjoyed yourself GL, BTW.
I'll sum up the experience this way:
I saw the lineup - with Nomar at 3rd, and Ronny C at SS, and thought, wow that's a smart move, very un-dusty like.
And then by the 9th, we get a very Dusty moment. The "Trademark" back-ass double switch. Nomar - due to bat 2nd in the bottom of the 9th, and he's pulled, so Neifi can play 3rd and Todd Walker can be scheduled to bat 5th in the inning!!!!
Seriously, 4 million freakin dollars can't buy the Cubs a manager who understands the double switch? I don't know anyone who can be so clueless as such a basic function of their job, and still maintain their employment.
Fire Dusty, if Hendry won't do it, fire him too, and if McFail won't fire either of them, then I've got no problem seeing him walk either. The organization needs to figure out that winning championships matters, none of this being satisfied with a under .500 ballclub and celebrating "back to back winning seasons" crap.
I think the Cubs need to
I think the Cubs need to just keep telling themselves that they are so very close to the level they were in 2003 and it was only injuries that cost them the season last season and this season and the other teams are not better than they were two years ago.
I think the Cubs should not look too deeply into the cause of the failures of the past two seasons. I think the Cubs should ignore talk that their manager has failed miserably with in-game and pre-game decisions. I think the Cubs should ignore the questions about their training and strength and condiditioning program...after-all the injuries happen to everyone. I think the Cubs should ignore questions that the GM may not have fielded the best team possible the past two years and not even give an ounce of consideration that maybe the GM and manager are largely to blame for the product and the execution of the product on the field.
I think the Cubs should realize that the most important goal is to pack the tourist attraction known as Wrigley Field, to sell really cool Cubs merchandise...to continue marketing the club on WGN and comcast sports...and realize the bottom line profit is the most important issue and if winning isn't necessary to increase the bottom line then by all means don't worry about winning.
I think any hard and honest look at why this team has failed for two years should be avoided at all costs...overlook this tendency to exam why we lost. After all, the most important lessons in history tells us that if we don't want to make the same mistakes of history's past...then we should not take a good hard honest look at why we failed....to do so would be damaging to the egos, the pride and the satisfaction of being an executive of the greatest sports franchise in the world.
Tonight I-Cubs ahead 6-1 in
Tonight I-Cubs ahead 6-1 in the 8th. Mitre started. No box score yet.
Here's the good news from the last 2 days:
Thursday, Iowa Cubs split a DH (win 4-2, lose 4-1) with New Orleans Zephyrs (Washington AAA)
Rich Hill complete game win
Iowa IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Hill (W, 6-1) 7.0 7 2 1 1 7 0 3.66
Murton HR, one walk, 2-3. Iowa BA .409
the night before he was 4-5 with a double in a 5-0 win vs Zephyrs
so now Matt M has shown he can hit at AA, AAA and is the Chicago NL club's outfielder with the best BA and OBP.
Why is Matt Murton even playing here?

The excuse Dusty used was that MM doesn't have the power necessary to be a starting corner outfielder with the big club.

Good Lord...Tony Gwynn and Mark Grace would never have had a career in baseball if they played in the minors for a Dusty Baker team. Unbelieveable.
Cubs Win Cubs Win... of
Cubs Win Cubs Win...
of course it's the Iowa Cubs
Iowa Cubs 7 Runs /9 Hits / 0 Errors
New Orleans 1 Run / 3 Hits / 1 Error
Looks like a 3 Hitter for Sergio Mitre but no official box score yet.
maybe if Dusty could bring
maybe if Dusty could bring his Balco pals into the Cub locker room Matt Murton could become a power hitter?
Worked for Barry, right Dusty?
It certainly worked for the single hitting LF the Cubs had in 1988. You know the guy Jim Frey traded for Mitch Williams.
Lawton about to be traded to
Oh Amen, goodbye Matthew
Oh Amen, goodbye Matthew Lawton III.
If Murton or Greenberg isn't back by Sunday, I might be ready to turn in my Hendry card. Let's see what we're up to now.
Hopefully no more of this crazy "wait 'till this year" stuff that Ronnie was blabbering about today.
Lawton WAS traded to the
Lawton WAS traded to the Yankees last night, saving the Cubs the remainder of his salary this year.
Cubs are supposed to get an A ball pitcher, 21 year old Staten Island righthander Justin Berg (6-2 3.53).
If Murton is called up, it
If Murton is called up, it will be to only hit against lefties and platoon with Holly. Dusty will maintain we are still in the wildcard race until mathematically eliminated.
Brennaman's comment (he was a former Cubs announcer) reflects the nasty way McPhail and the Tribune have done business in recent years. Also, Dusty ball has not worn well on the other Central teams. LaRussa is not well liked, but the other teams regard the Cardinals as a professional team, which they have not regarded the whiney and unprofessional Cubs' team of the last two seasons.
When you have fill five starter positions, a starting pitching, at least two bullpen positions, and you have a manager who cannot endure playing rookies, I don't know how you are going to have a good team in 2006.
.159 BA/ .205 OBP/ .217 SLG in August
Sammy Sosa
So know it looks like Murton
So know it looks like Murton will be the everyday LF starting Tuesday when he is eligible to be called up. Holly has seemed to lose "my boy" status with Dusty he has not even been used a top PH since we got Lawton. He has 3 AB's since August 15th. Why don't the Yankees just put Bernie Williams in LF. Williams in LF, Giambi at DH, and Tino at 1st is better than Lawton in LF, Giambi at 1st, and Bernie at DH is way better in terms of D and wouldn't kill the offense.
Unbelievable.... From
From today's SunTime's.....
"Cedeno has been projected

cubfaningermany: it was Marty Brenaman, Thom's dad who made the comments. Being a father myself, he probably hates the Cubs more than Thom. I think I'd trade Walker, play Nomar at 2b, play Cedeno at SS and give Nefi his playing time at 3b. I can't imagine Rusch wants to come back to this mess next year either.
If they don't bring Mitre
If they don't bring Mitre back up and into the rotation, they're complete idiots.
So we took a minor league 4A
So we took a minor league 4A ball type player and spun him into a major league player, but a marginal one. So upgrade. Then we spun that into a legit everyday leadoff hitter. Big upgrade. Then we spun that into...... a pitching prospect?
Maybe we should have just stuck with Dubois and left well enough alone.
Maybe the C-U-B on Dusty's
Maybe the C-U-B on Dusty's jersey stand for "Can't Understand Baseball." 0r, "Crying Until Bedtime." or "Consistently Underperforming Ballplayers." Or, or, or...jeez. I give up. Fuggeddaboudit. It hurts to much to nurse disappointment.
So I have tickets to Fri Sept2 Cubs game here in Pittsburgh. Will somebody please give me something of interest to look for, some reason to pay attention and report back to TCR? Otherwise I'll probably just snooze and wait for the fireworks, the real reason we're going anyway. Sorry.
Well, Dave, at least PNC is
Well, Dave, at least PNC is one of the nicest parks in baseball, so you've got that to look forward to.
And by then, The Cubs might be locked in an epic battle with Pittsburgh to avoid last place...

lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.

An overused adjective intended to denote something as "cool" or "great" but instead winds up meaning "lame." This is actually a reflection of the lameness of person using the word, the degree of which is directly proportionate to difference between the user's perspective of the so-called awesome object / person / situation and that of a reasonably sober, well-informed observer.
"Bono is awesome."

Those Summerville "Ladies in Red" are at it again, doing what they do best…spotlighting, celebrating, educating, donating and lending a helping hand. This time they even took time out to give themselves a pat on the back. During a week highlighted by the presentation of an oversized check to Dorchester Children's Center, members of the Summerville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated (a.k.a. "The Ladies in Red") observed the chapter's twenty-fifth anniversary. The celebration saluted Summerville Alumnae's charter members and focused on the chapter's rich legacy of public service in the Dorchester County Community.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide assistance and support through established programs in local communities throughout the world. A sisterhood of more than 300,000 predominantly Black college-educated women, the Sorority currently has over 900 chapters located in the United States, England, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Republic of Korea. The Sorority was founded on January 13, 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University. These students wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need. The first public act performed by the Delta Founders involved their participation in the Women's Suffrage March in Washington, D.C., during March of 1913. Delta Sigma Theta was incorporated in 1930.
Summerville Alumnae, the 784th chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., was chartered on April 24, 1988. Twenty Dorchester County Deltas (Johnnie G. Mazyck, Ethel L.F. Harrison, Nancy Smith Doughty, Grace Wyatt Reese, Linda Pendergraft-Quash, Linda J. Patton, Valildra Dessasure Berry, Ruth S. Bowman, Zeddie D. Boyd, Flossie G. Grundy, Juanita J. Hill, Shirley L. Jacobs, Harmoniest Simmons Busby, Mary A. Stevens, Irma G. Street, Terri T. Terry, Doris Porcha Porter Warren, Vashti Killingbeck Washington, LaVerne Williams and Cheryl Young) were present to sign the charter and thereafter became indelibly linked to the chapter's history as the Charter Members of the Summerville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. From these focused and determined visionaries, Summerville Alumnae has grown into a sisterhood of approximately 140 professional women from throughout the tri-county area. This "Sisterhood Called to Serve", as their work will attest, has consistently worked to impact the local community in a positive manner. Individuals and organizations have been the recipients of the chapter's generosity. Since 1988, Summerville Alumnae has awarded over $90,000 in scholarships to local high school students, conducted college and career workshops, presented political and social action forums, mentored young men and women from throughout Dorchester County, donated meals for the homeless and organized benefit fundraisers for other charitable organizations.
The chapter kicked off the Silver Anniversary Chartering Celebration on Saturday, April 20th when chapter members visited residents at four nursing homes in upper and lower Dorchester County. Each center was presented with centerpieces for the dining room tables, a CD of 50's and 60's music and movie DVDs from the same eras. On April 22nd, chapter retirees participated in the School America Project, reading to young students at Beech Hill, Windsor Hill, Harleyville, and Williams Memorial Elementary Schools. In honor of one of the chapter's first service projects, School America bookmarks were presented on April 23rd to middle school students at Alston, Dubose, Gregg, Harleyville-Ridgeville, and St. George Middle schools. During the evening of April 24th, chapter members recognized their own. Eleven of the 18 surviving chartering sorors were honored with gifts, testimonials and an evening of festive fellowship at First Missionary Baptist Church. But the chapter's real celebration was yet to come.
Very quietly during the month of March, chapter members participated in a fundraising event. The first ever "Summerville Alumnae Delta Benefit Walk" was designed to support a Dorchester County non-profit. On April 27, 2013, the Summerville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a sisterhood of college-educated women committed to public service, marked their first twenty-five years of service by presenting $5,000 to Mr. Bob Ingram, Fund Development Director for the Dorchester Children's Center. As remarked by the chapter's first President, Mrs. Johnnie Good Mazyck, "My, how we've grown!"

UNIVERSITY PARK - For the past few seasons, Penn State women's basketball coach Coquese Washington had what she called a "wonderful luxury" - a core group of veteran players that sparked the Lady Lions to back-to-back Big Ten regular-season titles.
A crop of first-year players - eight in all - has since replaced that core group. With that crop has come a new challenge for the Penn State coach as she enters her seventh season.
"It's almost like, in some ways, starting over," said Washington, who spoke Tuesday at the Lady Lions' media day at the Bryce Jordan Center. "It's certainly different."
Penn State lost five players from last year's team, which finished 26-6, repeated as Big Ten champions and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The graduated players included three starters - WNBA draft picks and all-Big Ten selections Alex Bentley and Nikki Greene, and Mia Nickson - and accounted for 45 percent of the Lady Lions' scoring and 46 percent of their rebounds.
Helping to replace those numbers will be a Top 10 recruiting class, the largest in the program's history that includes seven freshman (though guard Lindsey Spann is out indefinitely with a torn anterior cruciate ligament). Another new addition to the team is Duke transfer Sierra Moore, a sophomore guard who will sit out the 2013-14 season.
Just how the newcomers will fit into the team's dynamic is yet to be determined.
"We're still trying to figure out who's going to do what," Washington said. "The last three years, you knew what Alex Bentley was going to do, you knew what Nikki Greene was going to do, you knew what Mia Nickson was going to do. Now, we have to figure out, as we get into games and scrimmages, who's going to show up when the lights turn on."
Along the way, Washington said she has taken advice from longtime Penn State volleyball coach Russ Rose on how to best indoctrinate a large group of players into her program.
"One of the things he told me, about having a new team and a different team when you graduate some stalwarts and people who had big impacts, is keep the standards high," she said. "Keep the expectations really, really high and they'll meet them. So that's how we've been coaching them these first few weeks of practice. We've kept the expectations high. We've been very demanding."
The Lady Lions have four seniors on their 2013-14 roster, led by last year's leading scorer and reigning Big Ten Player of the Year Maggie Lucas.
Lucas, along with Dara Taylor, Talia East and Ariel Edwards, have played big parts in helping the new group of players.
"We have good leadership and they're helping us get ready," said freshman Peyton Whitted. "(Lucas) pushes everyone and she pushes herself. She really motivates me to work harder in practice. Same with all the other seniors, too."
Added Lucas, "Every upperclassmen, every returner has taken on a leadership role. With having so many newcomers, it's important that we're setting a good example of what's expected in this program. Every returner has done a phenomenal job of doing so."
The Lady Lions will play Lock Haven in an exhibition game Oct. 27 at the Bryce Jordan Center before opening the regular season Nov. 8 at home against St. Francis (Pa.).
Penn State non-conference schedule is highlighted by visits to the Bryce Jordan Center from Connecticut (Nov. 17), Notre Dame (Dec. 4), and Texas A&M (Dec. 15), three programs who have all played in the national championship game since 2011. UConn is the defending champion.
"It's a challenging schedule but I think they're capable of performing well," Washington said. "When we get into conference play, it's going to be just as tough. When you get into postseason play, it's going to be just as tough. You might as well jump into the deep end of the pool and swim. That's how we're looking at it."

Race horses are notorious for being high-spirited, easily bored, and easily frustrated. Thoroughbreds have been carefully bred through the centuries for speed, grace, and power. Not patience and a fondness for down time, even in retirement.
So I'm not terribly surprised to hear that Must Win, a colt owned by Canadian residents Pat and Stephen Downey, got bored one day and decided to climb up on the roof. See full article.
